contract modification for service sites. before i get into my description, i wanted to make note it was brought to my attention that the fringe rate is inaccurate in the budget. it's listed at about 13.9%, but we believe the actual calculation to be around 20%. we'll get that fixed. finally, on the appendix site chart, there was an error in the number of meals served annually. i will be working to get that fixed as well. sorry for any incareens those caused. both sites have a history of serving a diverse group of seniors and adults with disabilities. the cortland location in district 9 will fire a .75

how much can be recovered after lengthy periods of illness and inactive tee. it was very encouraging to read because having good muscle strength is essential for fall prevention, mobility and many other things. that was encouraging. the second article was more controversial. it dealt with what appears to be a change regarding the concept of suicide among baby boomers versus older adults.
1:04 pm
suicide is still linked with depression, physical frailty, many of the things that we're aware of here through our work and through our involve. in the community. younger adults, in some cases, see it more as an issue of controlling when they die and because they have experienced what they have gone from dialing from dementia they seem to be more determined to not go through that and not impose that on anyone else. the article said that people change their minds frequently about this topic as they get older. it's important to remember that there may be in deed a generational shift beginning and we should keep ourselves aware of that. it's been a taboo subject for
1:05 pm
many, many centuries. it's more important to discuss it. the taboo doesn't help. both articles would be worth reading. it's in yesterday's "new york times." that is it for me. any other announcements or comments? well, meeting is adjourned.

1:14 pm
years and some of my neighbors have been here 30 year. we were notified from the landlord he was going to sell the building. when we realized it was happening it was no longer a thought for the landlord and i sort of had a moment of panic. i heard about the small sites program through my work with the mission economic agency and at met with folks from the mayor's housing program because they wanted to utilize the program. we are dealing with families with different needs and capacities. conversations were had early in the morning because that is the only time that all the tenants were in the building and finally when we realized that meda did have the resources to buy the building we went on a letter writing campaign to the landlord
1:15 pm
and said to him we understand you want to sell your building, we understand what you are asking for and you are entitled to it, it's your land, but please work with us. what i love about ber nell height it represents the diversity that made me fall in love with san francisco. we have a lot of mom and pop shops and you can get all your resources within walking distance. my favorite air area of my homes my little small patio where i can start my morning and have my coffee an is a sweet spot for me and i

>> right before the game starts, if i'm still on the field, i look around, and i just take a deep breath because it is so exciting and magical, not knowing what the season holds holds is very, very exciting. it was fast-paced, stressful, but the good kind of stressful, high energy. there was a crowd to entertain, it was overwhelming in a good way, and i really, really enjoyed it. i continued working for the grizzlies for the 2012-2013 season, and out of happenstance, the same job opened up for the san francisco giants. i applied, not knowing if i would get it, but i would kick
1:17 pm
myself if i didn't apply. i was so nervous, i never lived anywhere outside of fridays know, andfridays -- fresno, and i got an interview. and then, i got a second interview, and i got more nervous because know the thought of leaving fresno and my family and friends was scary, but this opportunity was on the other side. but i had to try, and lo and behold, i got the job, and my first day was january 14, 2014. every game day was a puzzle, and i have to figure out how to put the pieces together. i have two features that are 30 seconds long or a minute and a 30 feature. it's fun to put that altogetl r together and then lay that out in a way that is entertaining for the fans. a lucky seat there and there, and then, some lucky games that
1:18 pm
include players. and then i'll talk to lucille, can you take the shirt gun to the bleachers. i just organize it from top to bottom, and it's just fun for me. something, we don't know how it's going to go, and it can be a huge hit, but you've got to try it. or if it fails, you just won't do it again. or you tweak it. when that all pans out, you go oh, we did that. we did that as a team. i have a great team. we all gel well together. it keeps the show going. the fans are here to see the teams, but also to be entertained, and that's our job. i have wonderful female role models that i look up to here at the giants, and they've been great mentors for me, so i aspire to be like them one day.
1:19 pm
renelle is the best. she's all about women in the workforce, she's always in our corner. [applause] >> i enjoy how progressive the giants are. we have had the longer running until they secure day. we've been doing lgbt night longer than most teams. i enjoy that i work for an organization who supports that and is all inclusive. that means a lot to me, and i wouldn't have it any other way. i wasn't sure i was going to get this job, but i went for it, and i got it, and my first season, we won a world series even if we hadn't have won or gone all the way, i still would have learned. i've grown more in the past
1:20 pm
four years professionally than i think i've grown in my entire adult life, so it's been eye opening and a wonderful learning >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow,
1:21 pm
and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100
1:22 pm
company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection.
1:23 pm
san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a
1:24 pm
lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you
1:25 pm
know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're
1:26 pm
going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that
1:27 pm
sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very minimal energy use. it still matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. so having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. we heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. it was super easy to sign up. our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. it's an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around climate change and it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it, and it doesn't really add anything to the bill.

[reading agenda item]
1:41 pm
>> supervisor tang: thank you very much. at this point i'm going to turn it over to supervisor jane kim. >> supervisor kim: thank you, chair tang. this item is going to be heard at the full board tomorrow.
1:42 pm
i'm sorry. let me rephrase that. tomorrow at the full board, we will be hearing the appeal of to see what determination for the central soma plan. because we cannot hear anything approvals before them, the planning commission is waiting to hear amendments, which is set to be heard this thursday. so, i have asked through the noticing process that we set the continuance to the date of monday, october 1st. but i know that before we do that, we have to open up for public comment on all these items. >> supervisor tang: i will open up items one through for for comment? any members of the public that want to speak? public comment is closed. as supervisor kim stated, i would like to entertain a motion to continue items one through five to the october 1st land use meeting. >> supervisor kim: i will make that motion. >> supervisor tang: we will do that without objection. item six.
1:43 pm
[reading agenda item] >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have jen low from supervisor yee's office who is a son spore of this item and a representative from the planning department. >> good afternoon, chair tang, supervisors kim and safai. ocean avenue is one of our merchant corridors in district seven and has a very active community benefits district organized by the ocean avenue association. the association came to us with this idea because we were getting concerned that medical uses were taking up a lot of the retail spaces on the ground floor along ocean avenue. so, we shared that concern and came up with a solution
1:44 pm
requiring a conditional use so that appropriate and necessary and desirable uses could be maintained on the corridor without taking away from active retail space. so, we have audrey here from the planning department to share a little more about this. we would love to have your support. we understand when we have further restrictions on corridors that it can do the opposite effect, which is increasing vacancies and we are working with the ocean avenue association to look into a pilot that was started by chair tang and supervisor safai. but streamlining permitting processes for desirable businesses on the ground floor so we are attracting businesses we want to see. i will hand this over to the planning department. >> supervisor tang: thank you. i'm glad to hear that. did you, supervisor safai, have a question? >> supervisor safai: i will make a comment after she speaks. >> afternoon. audrey from the planning department.
1:45 pm
the planning commission heard this. the background on our recommendation is threefold. health service uses do not foster an active store front to the extent many eating establishments attract at the street level. and it has struggled to maintain an active pedestrian commercial corridor and overkon investigation of these type of uses -- overconcentration can serve to disrupt the uses. it can be relied upon to ensure appropriate uses are appropriate. the second reason is the conditional use authorization process also keeps the path clear to establishing a new health service use in the ocean avenue ntd. in our case report, when restricting currently permitted uses on the ground floor, caution should be exercised in order to prevent a stifling of the vibrancy and diversity in
1:46 pm
uses. as ms. low suggested, they are going to work on program to establish uses on the ground floor that are desirable for this neighborhood. the third reason is that many of the new health service uses that would be subject to the cu authorization process would be eligible for our department's community business priority processing program so long as that business doesn't possess more than 20 other locations and not seeking to expand allowed operation or store fronts. this program requires the cu authorization application to be heard by the planning commission within 90 days of complete application submittal. again, that program will assist in ensuring new proposed limitations on health service uses in this district do not overly restrict these businesses from establishing themselves without extensive delays so long as they are appropriate. that concludes our court. if you have any questions yible
1:47 pm
-- our report. if you have any questions i am available. >> supervisor tang: thank you. supervisor safai had a question or comment. >> supervisor safai: i just wanted to say the opportunity -- i'm glad that supervisor yee's office is going to be looking into our 312 reform. it gives you the opportunity to update your table in terms of what is permitted and not permitted and what is required on the second floor in general. i'm glad this conversation started on ocean avenue. it gives you the opportunity to mirror that and you can expand it across the board to cover many different areas. i'm glad you are taking this on. >> supervisor tang: great. and i join supervisor safai's comments and happy to help district seven with that legislation as well. okay. so, at this point we will open up item six to public comment? seeing none, public comment on item six is closed. i'm happy to chat with audrey on
1:48 pm
the side later. colleagues, do we have a motion on item six, please? >> supervisor safai: i will make a motion to send this to the board with positive recommendation. >> supervisor tang: we can do that without objection. thank you very much. item seven, please. [reading agenda item] >> supervisor tang: great. we have a sponsor. supervisor fewer. >> thank you. colleagues, i'm delighted to have this follow up meeting from public works. my neighbors on the west side have been awaiting this infrastructure and have been and will be paying for this for the next 15 years. but have not yet benefited from having underground yutilities. having the wires underground is about safety.
1:49 pm
pg&e and the police respond to keep the area safe. today we have debra and bernie from public works who will be presenting an update on their work and having reviewed the previous recommendations for utility underground task force and data from having underground 4.8 miles in the city. i'm eager to hear about their approach and developing a master work plan. thank you. >> good afternoon, chair tang, supervisors kim, safai and fewer. we are here on behalf of san francisco public works. since the last time we met with you, we have progressed on a number of items. we are refining undergrounding information and developing a mapper interface and we are working with i.t. and performing
1:50 pm
qaqc and developing an accurate underground map. and we are working with utility companies to secure data on outstanding utilities to be undergrounded. we have been working with a team to refine a scope of work to develop a robust undergrounding master plan which i brought today as part of the scope of work we will be assessing san diego's utility underground program as a guide. identify data gaps and assessing tunt tuntdss -- opportunities to inform recommendations for the master plan. we are looking for funding opportunities, developing a staffing plan and budget plans and implementation strategy advised by the items i have just mentioned. as part of our strategy and collaboration, we will be including various critical stakeholders to provide input into this plan. i have bernie, our acting permit manager with me if you have any
1:51 pm
additional questions. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you supervisor fewer. i embarked upon research on this topic a few years ago. i know it is a difficult one and i know it was mentioned we would study san diego's model and so forth. for me what i found throughout the years of the research, it was so cost prohibitive. millions of dollars per block or per mile. i can't remember what the most recent numbers are. but exorbitant. i guess my question is, even if we are going to embark upon sort of a planning phase of this work, if we don't have the dollars, how are we going to proceed and has there been any sort of advocacy around pg and e and i forget if it was the rule third year whatever that was called money we mortgaged a long time ago and when we are even
1:52 pm
going to be able to see anymore of those funds for the city for undergrounding. >> you were correct. there's a tremendous challenge with funding. the rule 20 funds have been exhausted for about the next 17 years. i think a budget report came out from the mayor's office identifying that. in this master plan effort we are going to look into funding opportunities and seeing what is available and support to move forward with. we will come back to you with more information on what would be available and what would be of interest to proceed with. >> supervisor kim: how long do you think it would take to do this planning and to come back to us when you have something? >> we will keep you updated as we move forward. next step is to execute a contract with the consultant and then we would be happy to work with your offices and provide you updates along the way. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. i know it is challenging and really expensive. i realize that. so, chair, i'm requesting that
1:53 pm
we would continue this item to the call of the chair since she said she could come back and update us. >> supervisor tang: all right. we will entertain a motion to continue this to the call of the chair then. sorry. public comment. yes, on item seven. any members of the public? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. now we can entertain the motion to continue to the call of the chair. okay. we will do that without objection. madam clerk, any other items? >> clerk: no further business. >> supervisor tang: all right. we are now adjourned. [meeting adjourned] .
