not having -- by eliminating one faculty of city college, it eliminates the option of having -- aside from the president and he or she should be on it, but one more person who understands the free city college program, and by putting that back on, which i might consider, you know? it's been, to be honest, elisa, as an a.f.t. person who's done a fabulous job, you're all going to be impressed with it -- and i serve on it, as well. >> chair ronen: thank you. is there any other member of the public that would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> chair ronen: i, too, just wanted to thank supervisor mar for taking leadership and making sure that we see the crucial programs through. i know that you've worked really hard on it, and i just appreciate all that work.

i've always said that the free city college program is one of those very rare pieces of legislation that's transformative that really has the power to change class dynamics in the city, and there's very few pieces of legislation that make that kind of impact, so it's a tremendous honor to be able to vote in favor of this and to be able to follow the tremendous leadership of the community and labor and who -- and the trustees who have worked so hard to make this program a resounding success. so congratulations, everyone, and thank you for finding this incredible solution and bringing everyone together to see this through. did you want to say anything else, supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: yeah. so indeed, this was a bit more complicated than i thought it would be when i volunteered to

work on free city, but i think we're really close to getting something that is really great for city college. i think it encompasses the goals that we all share for the free city program. i did want to discuss some of the amendments that were mentioned by the speakers in public comment as well as what i referred to earlier. these all relate to the membership. the first one is -- i heard -- for 3 aseats 3 and 4, the amendments i had introduced was changing the appointing authority for those two seats, taking it away from the mayor and board of supervisors and giving it to the college and

associated students. upon further consideration, i wanted to propose that we keep those two seats -- one -- seat 3 appointed by the mayor and seat 4 appointed by the board of supervisors but add an additional seat, a student seat that is appointed by the associated students. i mean, i think in terms of amending the ordinance, it probably would be best that what i'm proposing as a third seat to be held by a student at city college and be appointed by the associated student -- city college associated student so that would go best as seat five, and then all the other seats from seat 5 on would get bumped a number higher. city attorney givner, does that sound -- yes? and then there -- there was a

question raised about seat 141234 it's a nonvoting seat held by the student trustee who's a member of the college board? is there a reason why that's a nonvoting seat on the oversight committee? >> mr. givner: deputy city attorney jon givner again. that's a policy decision. we drafted the ordinance, just followed the policy decision, so you could make that a voting seat. that's entirely in your discretion. >> supervisor mar: mm-hmm. yeah, i would -- i would be inclined to have that. because i think in terms of -- of modifying the oversight committee, i think they were most interested in expanding student voice on the oversight committee, so i think in addition to adding a third student seat to be appointed by the associated students of city college, i think making the student trustee the -- a voting seat would also be in line with that. so we would remove the language

that says it'll be a nonvoting seat. and then, the final possible amendment that the board -- that alex randolph is president of the board of trustees referred to, on page 7, line 3 to 7, that section of the ordinance describes what happens when a member of the oversight committee is not appointed in this a timely way, we'd want to add in, the first sentence, in addition to mentioning the city college board of trustees, the president of the city college board of trustees and the board of education of the san francisco unified school district add in those three other appointing entities that are reflected in the amendment. that's the associated students

of city college, the academic senate of city college, and the labor organization representing the largest number of classified employees. >> mr. givner: i think the one thing that i'd recommend is remove the reference of the president of the city board of trustees in that line because while the president will be serving on that oversight committee, the president will no longer have appointment over what we're originally calling seats 10 and 11, so there's no longer a need to include the president in that list. >> supervisor mar: got it. yes, that makes sense. and then, i think the final point that president randolph mentioned was write -- the potential amendment to be considered is saying that when the board of supervisors may appoint a member of the public

to fill -- fill the seat until the appointing authority appoints a person, that we should notify the clerk of the city college board of trustees just so they're aware. and i -- >> mr. givner: commissioner randolph can correct me if this is wrong, but i believe that's an amendment to section c, where the oversight committee would inform the clerk of the board and then appointing authority of any resignation based on this meeting, so we would add the clerk of the board of trustees in addition to the clerk of the board of supervisors. is that right? >> supervisor mar: okay. so that would go in subsection c, sort of line 20 or something? okay. sounds good. >> chair ronen: good. with that, i'll take the motion to amend without objection? without objection, those amendments pass. [gavel].

>> chair ronen: and then, the attorney, jon givner, does that mean that we need to continue this item or no? >> mr. givner: you can forward it out today. >> chair ronen: fantastic. i will note that both items 4 and 5 were noted that we were going to potentially consider them as a committee report. we're not going to take them as a committee report. we're just going to pass them out under the regular calendar, so they will be voted on at the board of supervisors at the -- >> clerk: july 16. >> chair ronen: july 16 meeting, so we're not going to send them forward as a committee report. so do you want to do the honors of making the motion? >> supervisor mar: yeah. can we do these together -- so yeah, i would move that we recommend -- that we move items 4 and 5 to the full board with positive recommendation. >> chair ronen: yes, and item 5 as amended. without objection, those motions pass. okay. congratulations. thank you. [applause] >> chair ronen: mr. clerk, is there any other item?

>> clerk: that completes the agenda for today. >> chair ronen: and the meeting is adjourned. thank you. bayview. >> a lot discussion how residents in san francisco are displaced how businesses are displaced and there's not as much discussion how many nonprofits are displaced
