each speaker will be allowed two minutes. are there any speakers on this matter? i do not see any speakers for this matter. >> thank you. seeing no speakers public comment for this item is closed. >> i do just want to say i really truly have an issue with trying to approve a chemical weapon when we still have an ongoing investigation of what happened during a training practice in san mateo county where children at a nearby school were affected by the training usage of the weapons. i did have a conversation briefly with a team from the sheriff's department and the timeline on the investigation is really not 100% clear at this point. and also just wanting to know and understand whether or not we can remove this item from the request from my standpoint, we we should continue this item until we have more information

or more detail or separate the chemical weapons from this request. but i don't know what kind of support i do have for that. >> so i would move this forward without recommendation to the full board president amendment thank you chair walton i think that makes sense. >> thank you. on that motion, mr. clerk yes. and a motion to refer the matter without recommendation. vice chair cheryl cheryl i remember i'm in, man i i chair walton i will deny that motion passes without objection. >> thank you. motion to move this for without recommendation passes mr. clerk would you please call item number two? item number two is the ordinance amending the campaign and governmental conduct code to update the conflict of interest code form 700 statement of economic interests filing requirements by adding,

deleting and changing titles of certain designated officials and employees to reflect organizational and staffing changes and be refining disclosure requirements for certain designate officials and employees. >> thank you president amendment thank you chair walton. so this is a little bit of housekeeping every two years the political reform act requires that san francisco review and update its conflict of interest code. sometimes we have new positions that have been created in that time. sometimes positions have gone away and so all of the departments take a look at their various folks who have to report under the political reform act and and provide updates to our clerk and our city attorney who then coordinate that legislation. this was being carried by president peskin and then i inherited it after he left the board. we did circulate some late breaking amendments which are pretty minor but proud bressie

can explain those. i want to thank kathleen reilly's and and brad and then of course of course our clerk for all their work on this. and with that i would turn it over to to our city attorney to better explain this than i have. deputy city attorney brad russ the president made and you explain what this is all about. very well. it's basically something we're required to do departments need to update this based on different duties that have changed in the intermediate in the two years that have passed. and so we engage in a process reaching out to all of them to take a look at their code sections as president mandolin mentioned, there are some minor amendments on page two we're adding the commission streamlining task force which was approved in prop e at the november election on page nine

there's an addition and a deletion from the assessor recorder's filers and on page 39 there's an addition for the san francisco unified school district. these amendments are substantive so once you make them you'll have to continue to the next week's meeting. >> thank you so much. deputy city attorney rusty, i don't see any other colleagues on the roster. >> would you please call for public comment, mr. clerk? yes. members of the public who wish to speak on this matter should line up to speak at this time each speaker will be allowed two minutes. are any speakers on this matter? >> there are no speakers. >> thank you senior speakers public comment on item number two is close. >> president amendment would you like to make a motion? yes i'll move the amendments that have been circulated and described by by our deputy city attorney on a motion to adopt

the amendments. vice chair cheryl shaw i remember man woman and a miniature walton high walton i. the motion passes without objection. >> thank you. amendments are passed without objection and present amendment and then i'll move that we continue this one week till our or till our next meeting. >> yeah. >> yes. and the motion to continue the matter as amended to february the 10th on that motion vice chair cheryl cheryl i. the momentum and not a miniature walton i want to know that motion passes without objection a motion to continue a minute item passes without objection mr. clerk, please call item number three. item number three is the ordinance approving and. the amended airport surveillance technology policy governing the use of automated license plate readers ground transportation management system and parking assist park parking guidance system. >> thank you, mr. clerk. and i believe we have diana

bullock and guy clark guy clark here from the airport. >> good morning chair walton, vice chair cheryl and committee member of gentleman i'm guy clark. i'm the i.t. cyber appliance manager for the airport and i'm here to present the amended surveillance technology policy just to provide a little background. >> the airport automated license plate reader ground transportation management system surveillance technology policy was reviewed and approved by the board back in 2021 and at the time there was no discussion about combining these two technologies. but when? when the park assist parking guidance system technology came up in our inventory in working with kuwait we discussed and reviewed and felt that it would be best to combine these into one policy. so we amended the existing policy with the parking guidance system specifically

the technology description. authorize use cases two new ones were added as a justification was updated for the new part for the new technology the benefits to residents and to the department were updated. the data sharing and retention were updated. the key note there is that the parking system does not retain the license plate data. from that perspective and then compliance was updated with members of the parking management group being added to that as compliance over this particular technology and then as you mentioned the technology scription was updated. >> the two items in red were the two areas that were updated. there the use of the parking guidance system still reduces the time spent searching for parking which leads to more revenue generating opportunities in the terminals

and then additionally streamline the process. reducing drive time and emissions parking efficiency minimizes traffic on the roadways and helps individuals find parking spaces as well as. locate their car if for instance they don't remember where they parked they can actually put in their license plate number and it'll virtually in that moment find where they're parked via the cameras. but that information is not saved or maintained and then as you can see the two items in the two use cases in black are the existing use cases from the. automated license plate reader system that we. previously had gotten approved and then as mentioned to new use cases were added due to the park assist being added as well help guide customers to vehicle parking spaces and to help customers locate their vehicles if they forgot where they parked and those are the kind

of the highlights of it. >> i do have additional slides if you need additional information about that but. >> thank you mr. clerk. >> i don't see anyone with any questions so we will call for public comment on item number three. >> yes, members of the public who wish to speak on this item just line up to speak at this time each speaker will be allowed two minutes. are there any members of the public who like to provide public comment? i do not see any members of the public for public comment at this time. thank you. >> seeing no speakers public comment is now closed and i would like to make a motion to move this item forward to the full board with recommendation on the motion to recommend this item to the full board. >> vice chair cheryl cheryl i member mcmanaman management i chair walton i tonight the motion passes without objection thank you motion to move forward to the full board with recommendation passes

unanimously thank you thank you for your time. >> thank you so much. >> so the good news here is we have appointments supervisory or supervisory appointments for items 4 or 5, six, seven, eight, nine, ten and 11 and we can call these all at once and then we'll have public comment for all the items together. so mr. clerk, would you please call the items are yes. >> item number four is a motion appointing supervisor mahmud to the bay area quality management district board of directors term ending february 1st, 2029. or the conclusion of his term as a member of the board of supervisors. item number five as motion appointing supervisor conny chan to the san francisco bay conservation and development commission for an indefinite term or at the conclusion of her term as a member of the board of supervisors. item number five is motion appointing supervisor matt dorsey as an alternate member to the san francisco bay conservation and development commission for an indefinite

good fit for everyone who needs services from the reentry council or just seems pretty narrow minded and seems committed to recovery only via . abstinence of any sort of drug consumption and incarceration seems to be his solution which seems kind of at odds with this reentry council but that's just me. >> thanks. are there any other speakers to comment on these items? >> there are no additional speakers. thank you. seeing no other speakers public comment is now closed and i would like to make a motion to move items four through 11 to the full board with recommendation. >> on a motion to recommend items four through 11 vice chair cheryl i cheryl i

>> when i first started painting it was difficult to get my foot in the door and contractors and mostly men would have a bad attitude towards me or not want to answer my questions or not include me and after you prove yourself, which i have done, i don't face that obstacle as much anymore. ♪♪♪ my name is nita riccardi, i'm a painter for the city of san francisco and i have my own business as a painting contractor since 1994 called winning colors. my mother was kind of resistant. none of my brothers were painter. i went to college to be a chiropractor and i couldn't

imagine being in an office all day. i dropped out of college to become a painter. >> we have been friends for about 15-20 years. we both decided that maybe i could work for her and so she hired me as a painter. she was always very kind. i wasn't actually a painter when she hired me and that was pretty cool but gave me an opportunity to learn the trade with her company. i went on to different job opportunities but we stayed friends. the division that i work for with san francisco was looking for a painter and so i suggested to my supervisor maybe we can give nita a shot. >> the painting i do for the city is primarily maintenance painting and i take care of anything from pipes on the roof to maintaining the walls and beautifying the bathrooms and graffiti removal. the work i do for myself is

different because i'm not actually a painter. i'm a painting contractor which is a little different. during the construction boom in the late 80s i started doing new construction and then when i moved to san francisco, i went to san francisco state and became fascinated with the architecture and got my contractor's licence and started painting victorians and kind of gravitated towards them. my first project that i did was a 92 room here in the mission. it was the first sro. i'm proud of that and it was challenging because it was occupied and i got interior and exterior and i thought it would take about six weeks to do it and it took me a whole year. >> nita makes the city more beautiful and one of the things that makes her such a great contractor, she has a magical touch around looking at a

project and bringing it to its fullest fruition. sometimes her ideas to me might seem a little whacky. i might be like that is a little crazy. but if you just let her do her thing, she is going to do something incredible, something amazing and that will have a lot of pop in it. and she's really talented at that. >> ultimately it depends on what the customer wants. sometimes they just want to be understated or blend in and other times they let me decide and then all the doors are open and they want me to create. they hire me to do something beautiful and i do. and that's when work is really fun. i get to be creative and express what i want. paint a really happy house or something elegant or dignified. >> it's really cool to watch what she does. not only that, coming up as a

woman, you know what i mean, and we're going back to the 80s with it. where the world wasn't so liberal. it was tough, especially being lgbtq, right, she had a lot of friction amongst trades and a lot of people weren't nice to her, a lot of people didn't give her her due respect. and one of the things amazing about nita, she would never quit. >> after you prove yourself, which i have done, i don't face that obstacle as much anymore. i'd like to be a mentor to other women also. i have always wanted to do that. they may not want to go to school but there's other options. there's trades. i encourage women to apply for my company, i'd be willing to train and happy to do that. there's a shortage of other women painters. for any women who want to get

into a trade or painting career, just start with an apprenticeship or if you want to do your own business, you have to get involved and find a mentor and surround yourself with other people that are going to encourage you to move forward and inspire you and support you and you can't give up. >> we've had a lot of history, nita and i. we've been friends and we have been enemies and we've had conflicts and we always gravitate towards each other with a sense of loyalty that maybe family would have. we just care about each other. >> many of the street corners in all the districts in san francisco, there will be a painting job i have completed and it will be a beautiful paint job. it will be smooth and gold leaf and just wow. and you can't put it down. when i first started, it was hard to get employees to listen to me and go along -- but now,

i have a lot of respect.
