5:30 am
regards to the permit alter that is important in order for the permit to be approved it will have to be precede the alter and there is due process that's not happened here that would be a serious concern moving forward if there is something other than an approval they'll have to get if before this permit is issued as is happy to have the preservation staff talk about this they understand what the limits are but don't want to follow them we can have the preservation staff to answer when the appropriate signage if you like but given upholding the denial of this permit put it through it's due process and
5:31 am
have the alter and permit reviewed and the permit are generally handled administratively if they comply with the code we have not gotten that far they've not given us something to approve at the staff level. >> i'm available to answer any questions. >> i have one. >> i have one, too. >> so do you have an idea what was approvable can you do that to respond to the overhead. >> one the signage projecting above it so as illustrated on there would generally be the highest point we'll want to see the signage there but you know i don't know you know further destruction discussions - can
5:32 am
you give me ideas. >> article of a question of preservation staff it is in context with the difference and have the guidance as i see you'd like like. >> i've been here only 40 years but seen lots of pictures of huntington and all the wonderful building that had those blade signs along the spine of the protruding front or on the front of the property so, i mean this is just you know residents opinion if you're going to historic why would you historically design the 1964 sign much more prevalent than a 4 foot sign similar to the drawing that was illustrated by
5:33 am
the - >> i would disagree that historical in terms of the codes the size of sign is not as large certainly there were large signs but smaller as i understand in terms of the - it is a characteristic in terms of the blade signs they're not called out as a characteristic of the km s historical district not a feature as prevalent if it was the original there are - yes ,there are some but the. >> business owners. >> if was original to the building and maybe going back to the 64 sign i don't know maybe ask staff about that that sign obviously was original we don't know how it relates to the period of the significance to the building but have that conversation with the staff and
5:34 am
could be supportive but generally have buildings originally constructed no blade signs whistle blower original in the 64 picture was e vehicle code not exactly when it was removed but you know certainly that was removed prior to the mid 90s when the subsequent blade sign - >> as far as the historic preservation commission is anything a product of 1950 and earlier considered potentially historic. >> potentially but been removed so there's not a lot of information available about that time it is can be looked at but to the best of my knowledge ask the department to look at it i can't give you an answer for the historical sign that's a new question but something that could go looked into.
5:35 am
>> okay. >> next. >> so i came into this hearing had read the brief with the president point of view which we rei think stilled in me and that is my family was ♪ business for years i'll telling that irving and taylor street and mason street had blade signs unfortunately, i'm old enough in the 50s and 50's that was the historic charm of that area of san francisco and, yes they probably were taken down because either fell do you think they were rotting from rust and someone didn't want to put them up but historically that was true what commissioner president honda said an historical respect that
5:36 am
was the building sign and the belview sign stayed up because that was a blighted hotel pure and simple i'll support of argument of the president a very i appreciate the appellants piece of information he reminded me of and go to in my dissertation not, in fact, the hotels the ownership has moved did buy that hotel several years ago owned it as the monocould and as strategy business decision but not necessary ♪ public place of the call the next item. >> ton group were - still it
5:37 am
retains the same ownership so again, i'm come in with the same argument i thought that would come in with in the first place the ownership has not changed but someone on their staff the asset manager or the general manager blew that and it was did an ill-advised thing we can - they did, in fact, they acted inappropriately and didn't follow-up with the things you've stated here we are this is where i don't know why; right to go with this i believe the sign should be sustained in what it was before instead of a maker for because it is the same ownership and the same equity i believe they were inappropriate and ill-advised e in their acts
5:38 am
there should be a penalty and i think that it would be inappropriate to penalize the owner that bought the asset with a sign and sustained that sign and just simply went through a rebranding and reidentity not a change of the equity not penalize as far as tearing down that sign i don't know where we are with that but challenge you on the entity. >> thank you thanks our commissioners, the matter is submitted. >> you want to repeat that again, i'm kidding. >> the historical nature the sign is valid for all the points you've raised commissioner president honda the entity has not changed
5:39 am
simple the management acted in an ill-advised fashion and then when making a simple change of an existing sign as a challenge of brand that would be you know chained the name of the restaurant from the grand cafe to something else and the management didn't change ownership didn't change. >> initially that's the issue i have here but we got a permit they didn't follow the rolls. >> right didn't follow the rules. >> but to - i generally am supportive of departments that come before us all of them but as being a long, long term san franciscan i sometimes have an issue with what is historical what is not historical and the appreciative of which who is enforcing it and how that is enforced i think in this particular case they didn't take
5:40 am
down the sign you change the name your subject to tear down a sign up there for 20 years i agree with the department that the permit holder was not forget coming and not responsive to the departments needs but having been in the same situation and dealt with enforcement and historic preservation it is a very confusing and muddy water it is the water is gray so i'm going to leave with my fellow commissioners but feel there should be i don't know about leniency but the sign has been there 20 years and a permanent sign when it was there if i drive my car and decide to paint
5:41 am
the color do you have a comply to the new registration. >> i don't think how i go with that so maybe the wisdom on the commission will help us clarify. >> i'm going to defer to 9 opinion. >> i know. >> it is a fine line in terms of how to deal with the preservation thinking and staff at the department it is not an easy process but the question here is not so much whether i feel that the replacement of a piece of plastic or whatever the material and the letter is too important as the fact that because of the
5:42 am
process was not followed in fact, was disregard i'm prepared to not have them do the due process do you understand what i'm saying. >> uh-huh. >> they need to file for an alteration permit and see if they get turned down at both end can come back here and i understand the angst that the department feels but definitely in terms of what occurred prethe empathy and coming on board. >> would you like to make a motion. >> no. >> so - >> i just - i maybe the one
5:43 am
sliding back and forth between two sides so if you're opinion that had they followed the rules appropriately that some leniency to sustaining that sign would have been appropriate but really by not following the rules, in fact, doing what they did that they lost the prestige of that lessoncy. >> that's my position. >> unfortunately i'll argue with you although i like the protect the rights of an owner of a sign. >> no matter we need 4 votes to overturn that should be continued. >> oh, two, that - okay.
5:44 am
>> 3 to deny 3 to deny or by default if there are 2 that want to deny we'll not necessarily have to continue. >> it is up to you guys. >> i'll move then i'm going to move to deny the appeal on the basis of due process. >> okay. so the motion from the department is to deny the appeal hold the department on the basis the permit applicant didn't follow the process that on that motion commissioner president honda nay. >> and commissioner swig
5:45 am
can you give me a clarification on the impact of my vote. >> if you vote in support of this motion then it will fail and then if no further months ago are made the permit will be the denial of permit will be sustained. >> if you vote against the moths it will also fail and there could be in either event a second motion that would be entertained to whether or not to continue it. >> it didn't matter how i vote that will fail anyway. >> no, but for preservation to give the response of what they'll do and why they'll do that. >> they're not going to do that. >> we can request that. >> they'll not give you an opinion if 36 they have not done
5:46 am
the work. >> details. >> i'm on the quandary from the appeal is denied if i go nay it is the appeal is denied. >> in either event a motion by any of you to continue you, you. >> if you say yes that is done. >> i'll go no okay. >> so that motion fails. >> i'll make a motion to continue it it so a full board can hear it and like the department to explain further so i can understand what would be allowed there. >> so you file for a
5:47 am
continuance. >> okay. >> could i respectfully add something to your continuance that subject to a continuance that representations e representation from the historic preservation be - i didn't hear you say historic preservation commission as well. >> can we get clarification that both representation from. >> and historic preservation commission be present at the hearing should there be a continuance. >> okay. do you have a date. >> can you cosign my bill. >> why not take the vote. >> a motion to continue it to allow the full board to hear the matter and have the department historic preservation commission come to the board to explain
5:48 am
what sign is allowed commissioner vice president fung. >> no and commissioner swig. >> yes. >> that motion fails no further motion that will be denied by default. >> here we go. >> okay. >> so we'll move on to items 9 ab have been withdrawn not heard and moves to item 10 which is the boards discussion and possible adoption for the fiscal year budget 2016-20172018-2019 and i appreciate our entertaining this this evening we have to provide proposals on the budget to the mayor's office by the twitter of february next week and recognize some of the pages of the handout that we've been given on this because our
5:49 am
budget didn't change very much some of the pages look similar to year and the overview of the revenue budget and shows you the breakdown our surcharges are the 95 percent of revenue 5 percent from filing fees that has not changed on the next page gives us an overview of the expenditure looking at the various ways we spend the money the large is number is on the salary and benefits and spend 20 percent on the services of on the department including the city attorney and sfgovtv filming this meanwhile e meeting and it from the department of technology we spend 7 percent on services of other companies outside the cities with materials for our neighborhood
5:50 am
notifications requirements interpreters for packet and the rest are infrastructure are represents and phones and supplies on page 5 as you can see the projections for appeal volume this year and as you can see we're looking at appeal volume below what we've experienced maybe at that time one and 44 appeals for the year if set the existing strengthened continues for the rest of year we had 99 appeals filed to date last year at this time one and 23 appeals by this date but recalling the cluster of appeals that pumped up the numbers last year. >> would those are just for my recognition for the telecom and also the - >> the sign permit the denial
5:51 am
of the sign permit 35 of those you remember that. >> yes. >> and also the academy of art was 17 or. >> 22. >> 22. >> those companion priced 29 percent of the appeals last year. >> and you know other things. >> - >> they gcenter stuff and appeals that come to us different businesses trend in 2014 a big fight because of the at at was really to to roll out the services and putting boxes on the sidewalks and 33 related to that. >> they're covered with graffiti they don't clean up i love that. >> in fiscal year 2017, 11 site appeals and this year none yet what is happening in the
5:52 am
city. >> what leads to what comes to us if you move on to the next page 6 this is giving you information about the budget in the current year that is important to give you an update before the proposals in terms of of revenues we are looking at a sewer mrs. in sewer mrs. revenues approximately $510,000 again based on the number of permit application that are made citywide and a projection but hard to know exactly we're thinking we're going to be in the black and filing revenue is down 3200 because of the volume and this is a small portion of the budget didn't have agree significant impact on us we would end the year with surplus revenue of $48,000 with the projections on the expenditure side we're
5:53 am
expecting a expenditure saving of $52,000 that is primarily seen in savings on the serves of other departments work order because the city attorney hours are lower than budgeted so because of meeting have been shorter than budgeted we have a saving in sfgovtv costs and the volume being lower we have savings in some of the attended cost of neighborhoods notification materials and things like that one other things not in the chart that came to my attention that is, we have salary savings this year as well i learned one of the clerks has been given the opportunity for a promotion so we'll be having a transition there in the way the city structures job changes we'll have a vacancy so
5:54 am
laboratory more savings there you might notice in the chart under the salary a deficit we've had problems in the past four or five years one fwrij or fringe line item is under fixed so looking at the current year look at the pronged surplus in revenue and the proerjd expenditures we expect to end the year with one and $10,000 on hand. >> and as in the past that money will going got rainy-day fund to be used in the future. >> again, the city has our rainy-day fund. >> that's a good question turning to the budget proposals for the next two-year budget the
5:55 am
rates for the surcharges are generated to cover the operating expenses those can be adjusted up to the rate of cpi if we need to go beyond cpi we can go to the board with legislation to request an adjustment of the rates we can go to the board if we need to change the budget types of surcharged we not levying the surcharge this year i don't expect a rate increase on the surcharge there be a slight increase in the expenditure the controller's office will like us to use some of the rainy-day funds to cover and offset short increases for the surcharges that fund has 90 percent of our budget in that so for almost nine hundred thousand i think
5:56 am
that makes sense for us to use some of that instead of going to the public and asking them to pay more for the permit it gave us a chance to help with that. >> as far as filing fees i'm not suggesting a change to those rates again given the small portion of the budget it is xhoemsdz of an page 10 increased in both years 6.3 it in the first year and 2.8 in the second that reflects the changes if salary and part of it to address the fringe benefits storage but some because of cost of salaries and infringes up they were labor negotiations are happening the city employees that work in the unions effected in our
5:57 am
department are voting now on to whether or not to ratify the labor contracts so those numbers are in flux the mayor when presented those numbers some increase but the final numbers come later when we know with the contracts look like on page 10 a little bit of a reduction in the departments one of the things we've been paying for our share of the city costs to renovate, upgrade the financial system we use that is becoming finalize that is come coming to completion then one other thing i don't have reflected on that chart but wanted to raise with you the possibility that we might go out of city to contract for the upgrade of the database we have in the office to use to take in
5:58 am
new appeals and generate the documents and report on the appeals in our annual report in our performance measures we have a database in place now it needs enhancement and that should be outside the city and looking at those costs might be and who is available to provide the services we go out to rfp those numbers are not reflected and bring back that information before i'll go forward with any kind of contract. >> so we don't have database requirement and they do. >> the city didn't use one vendor. >> no something called the tech store the city vets the contractor for this type of work but got process or figuring out
5:59 am
those and they've entered into salesforce but other cities evaluated on the needs of our department. >> when you stayed the volume. >> (laughter). >> right. >> so that's when you say database what's the database. >> what is the database. >> what's in the database of. >> appeals it is each appeal that is filed a person new appeal number. >> simply the file. >> a process how we take and gather appeals to dispense them all the materials we have so - >> it generates designed to generate the documents we need more the appeals some of the ones in the packet and other ones. >> so the full process in software including all sorts of stuff. >> yes. >> it is more than - it is
6:00 am
more. >> like a repository. >> for documentation documentation and . >> property management. >> our system is prearchaic it was on a platform it is no longer need it needs to be enhanced and needs enhancement yeah. >> okay. so my recommendations basic is to increase the surcharge revenue as needed to cover the operating expenses to reflect the enforced allocation of the fund to help to avoids the surcharges and the rates of surcharges and to work with the controller's office and the mayor's office to see whether any legislation is needed to look at change the
6:01 am
types of permit which the surcharges are levied and to continue to manage the expenses as appropriately as possible that's my report i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> in the appendixes the details of the line items and surcharge rates and filing fees and appreciate our consideration of a motion to adopt. >> a couple of questions on the subject of database slashing management system do you have do you have a concept was it might cost from the possess process of rf to review of proposals to you know review of the proper purchasing
6:02 am
protocols not buying a system a lot of the different parts do you have any idea what that costs. >> i'm not sure there is costs with the rfp p process the city does that for itself i hope to rely on department of technology to help us to review the - the review of the proposals the tech store is set up to do that i don't know what the costs would be and certainly not want to move forward if the costs are too high one barn is 60 or $70,000 for the design of the product and the first years licensing an ongoing licensing costs and then also train on how to
6:03 am
use the system and also the imputing of data imputing that will take a lot of time. >> part of proposal to move the data to the system i wouldn't want that to be done by us manually but electronically and yeah, and then the train we are using a system now i don't expect the system to be dramatically different it functions for us but only more bells and whistles. >> i wouldn't doubt that. >> so should there be an additional line item or an allocation and approval and
6:04 am
should that money come from into the current budget or as we're approve a motion that we acknowledge the possibility of that management system upgrade and that the fund been assumed to be coming from either fees from the upcoming fiscal year or fees from the rainy-day fund i prefer the latter gives me the latitude i'm compelled to bring anything that is beyond what we've been talking about so an appropriate motion to productive the budget with the addition of a accrual the funds
6:05 am
come from a rainy-day fund. >> you would agree totally coming from the rainy-day fund and in terms of you know shortfall coming from that also rather than any type of surcharge the cost for the little guys. >> uh-huh. >> i think that is the message i'm getting from the controller's office is they're committed to that and expect the mayor's office will be as well. >> will you accept that motion i made and i will ask for public comment and i see none. >> public any public comment. >> they're too busy talking about. >> a motion from commissioner swig to adopt those budget proposals with the addition of the potential from the allocation for an upgrade to the database.
6:06 am
>> commissioner vice president fung and commissioner president honda thank you that that item passes then and. >> there's no further business. >> thank you very much madam director for this awesome overview as takeoff stated before our efficient at our job and that seconds all i've said thank you, again. >> thank you. >> thank you as

6:17 am
certified teachers 9 folks they represent teachers that have achieved the recertification that have been with us sometime in the last 10 years and in the first time undergone this process the second time and one for the first time this year we do every single year celebrate and commend them in public first, i want to introduce the team we have in the district that support their work so if you'll please stabbed as i call your name with the department of leadership. >> (clapping.) >> the teacher on special assignment and supporting the national certification and sarah another teacher on special assignment. >> (clapping.) >> and they then not able to join us but an important member of the team carla not here but
6:18 am
supports our candidates so thank you. >> (clapping.) >> every year we celebrate a null sifted board teachers an opportunity to remind the public that it represents the highest standard in our profession folks that achieved certification go through a rigorous program that lasts one year or longer and demonstrate against the national practice standards that have a reflection and competence so all the candidates have demonstrated those skills in some cases twice over the course of a decade that is a great distinction and lines up with strategies in our own portfolio to recruit the best
6:19 am
educators in our school we're in the process right away right now of a redesign national process and accumulated to see certified board teachers here every year and the redesign means the candidates have the opportunity to pursue certification over one, two or 3 years so we have sort of a hitch in the process we have a limited number of folks this year next year we're expected one and 25 folks to show up for the certified teachers and 200 teachers right now that are pursuing a national certification open a 1, 2, 3 and this year we'll have more informed a couple of developments i think are worth pointing out so for my of the teachers in the front roe right now for recertification 10
6:20 am
years ago it was often a solidarity process you may have been the only person in the school thinking of this certification and been over the course here in san francisco many more educators recognize the value of the process for the perform growth and development and what is interesting the group of educators are pursue board certification and we have over thirty schools 3 or more teachers pursuing the certification together and better than a half-dozen schools with largo than six or seven it is about culture change that a distinction in the way the process is viewed by educators and generally by the field so my warmth congratulations for going through this process and in the
6:21 am
second time and our certification for the teachers i congratulate you as well i think any public comment back to the superintendent thank you. >> thank you, dr. stevens. >> (clapping.) >> i did want to add a few boastful comments about our national board certified teachers and also throughout our district just a few statistics if our district 200 and 52 national certified board teachers higher than the national percentage of board sifrtsd teachers as doctor stevens said two hundred plus candidates more higher concentration of our teachers are achieving this really difficult and very stenchly high
6:22 am
standard of teaching so of our current candidates 55 percent that are serving what we call the tier 2 and 3 schools serving relatively high concentration of underserved school and students we're proud of that and this is an important and vital part of our overview criteria pathway from class room teachers they're a critical element of our pathways for the teachers they serve as mentor to student teachers and new teachers as well as leader at the district and throughout our district level committees so the work i mentioned a little bit how odd we are by the lovely
6:23 am
of effort that it takes to pursue and accomplish the certification to a little bit of a favor this portfolio requires many localities so they include rigorous tests deep analysis of students work, video recording of their practice, and articulation of the teachers choice and the rational for those choices lots of ways of deepening their practice and observing the students and giving feedback not for the faint of heart we have amp teachers in the district that are accomplishing that at this point i'm going to turn it over to sarah for the next part of the recognition. >> thank you. superintendent
6:24 am
sfusd has long vault the certification process both as a professional very powerful professional learning experience and also as a maker of accomplished teaching mayor ed lee and i would like to acknowledge the folks that have support this for the 10 of 33 years serving san francisco unified teachers and students. >> (clapping.) >> she has never wavered from her commitment to assuring the support for all students and all teachers and in certification in particular candidates support and also the firm belief and commitment to the growth continued growth and leadership of one certified civil service is not the end of the party the start of the next party and deborah has a strong commitment
