president o'brien: commissioner o'connoriley? commissioner riley: i like to nominate commissioner o'brien to vice president. >president o'brien: nominee statements. commissioner dooley: i think my record is quite clear. i began my experience with this commission, i worked to bring the problems of ada lawsuits to this commission. i hope to continue further in any way i can to help small businesses to maintain themselves as a strong force. i have also worked very hard with small business corridors to help protect them from outside interests that would not allow them to continue in their strong role as community leaders. that is something i am very proud of. i have been planning to work further on extending the occupancy of business corridors, and recently met with supervisor mar's office to begin a pilot program to fill some of those vacant spaces. i am also very active in terms of attending outside meetings. i go to all of the council district merchant meetings. i am very available to any merchant anywhere in this town to discuss

luke o'brien is a recent acquaintance. he has come forward and help me on critical issues in the community of related to real- estate, restaurants, entertainment, and supporting our vibrant arts community. i've also had the pleasure of meeting mark dwight and visiting his establishment on 22nd street. quite an impressive place and i compliment you on your maiden voyage tonight and the wisdom you applied to many of the items. i think officialdom away too. on this point for continuity in service, i think electing luke o'brien vice-president is a good idea. thinking. -- thank you. >> i am a lawyer in san francisco. i was at fourth avenue and clement for 30 years. a represented many small businesses. i met luke o'brien in this regard a number of years ago. he is very hard worker. i think you all know that. he is pro-small business and he will support a vast array of small businesses, not just one kind. i have found him not to be a partisan person. he does not take sides. unnecessarily. he has -- he is very smart and he has a h

he is now a cardinal. >> cardinal o'brien, yes. so all the rights, privileges and others. >> and there are many. >> while the rights and -- cardinal o'brien stays in roam a few days. i think there are already some meetings, and the other part of the consistery is sort of the more business side of it. so after the mass tomorrow, i think there are more gatherings that are business related, closed door sessions between the cardinals. >> we saw a clip from one of the masses celebrated yesterday. that was a beautiful sign with cardinal o'brien, the cross he had around his neck was the pectoral cross of arch punish yop john carroll, the first bishop of baltimore. and fitting he would have that on. over 250 years old. >> did he get it? is it his? >> it is his as long as he is remains of the archbishop of baltimore or the administrator of baltimore. that cross belongs to the arch diocese of baltimore. presumably the next bishop will use that for various things. we all have our own, but in terms of a patrimony, the chalices and the cross th

cardinal o'brien has a coat of arms. he had one as archbishop o'brien.e had a new one as the grand marshall of the knights of the holy sepulchre. >> so pieces of his work throughout the church? >> yes. >> tell me about his motto. >> his motto, "i will give you shepards." is really a role which i think harkens back to his role as a seminary rector:he was charged with preparing men to be or daned priests. here comes cardinal o'brien now. he prays "receive the ring from the hands of peter and know that your love is strengthened by the love of the prince of the apostles." >> and now cardinal edwin frederick o'brien. who receives the titular church of st. sebastian of the paletine. >> so cardinal o'brien's titular church, st. sebastian of the paletine, is a rather prominent church as i recall. >> so he would be quite happy with that. >> yes. this is the one piece that i don't think they know prior to this moment. >> cardinal domenico calcagno is president of the apostolic patrimony of the holy see. >> the pope will lead the praying of the "our father" and the

president o'brien: all right. i think what we would like here is if somebody was interested in putting a motion forward -- i keep forgetting. sorry about that. if there are no other questions, i will open it up for public comment. >> public comment will be limited to 3 minutes. kindly state your name clearly and you can live up on the side wall. >> from the san francisco chamber of commerce, happy new year, commissioners. we're supportive of the concept of this legislation and the as you know, porop i requires the city to look at economic impact and beyond what it does in the charter. the ability of this commission to review and recommend alternatives to legislation that can have a negative impact on job growth in san francisco. a second look, a slowdown is not a bad thing. we have seen positive changes out of legislation because of prop i. we have seen positive changes on the initiative ordinance had given a 45-day notice window for legislation being introduced by four or more supervisors and policy statements. w

baltimore news brought it to you as edwin o'brien became cardinal o'brien. >> 11 news is the only newstation in town for the ordination. quite a celebration there. >> greetings from rovepl. it has been an amazing day today. early this morning it was cloudy. the clouds made way for the sun. this ceremony is just such a moving ceremony. this is my third trip to rome and every time it is a special, special ceremony. our new cardinal now, cardinal o'brien was the eighth of the 2 cardinal delegates to be called before the holy father. one thing i wanted to share with our audience back home thrfment was a big smile on the holy father's face as he greeted cardinal o'brien as the cardinals kneeled before him. it was just such a wonderful moment. just a few moments ago i left a reception. there is an area where all the priests from the united states meet and conjugate there. there was a receiving pline, and there were hundreds of people literally online waiting to greet cardinal edwin o'brien from the baltimore area, from the eastern shore. i spoke to one gentleman who served with him in the mi

congratulations to commissioner o'brien. i did want to make it a quick note that a former commissioner is now head of our sf china program that we have that is the joint public partner -- public-private partnership. it is exciting we have a former commissioner that will be working with and because we've worked close with that in any in the past. quickly i want to identify that both the office is jointly sponsoring a workshop on the benefit corporation with small business california on monday, february 27. if you want to come and learn more or if there are business entities you know of that might be interested in this, let them know. limited live performance permit, there have been 11 applications today. 10 have been issued and one still needs to have its hearing. small business week, we have had some discussions. we are in our committee meetings. i wanted to give you a heads up. we're likely not going to do the shopper never heard program again this year. we had a meeting early in december with 13 different merchant organiza

. >> this morning, cardinal designate edwin o'brien who is in rome talk live with students at our lady of mount carmel elementary school. he spoke to them via sky pe. >> cardinal designate o'brien is one of 22 archbishops that will be elevated to borrow in the ceremony in rome. rod daniels is there as well. >> it is now less than 24 hours until the elevation ceremony. tonight, inside of this beautiful church, there was a very special service for all of ure cardinals, including on own edwin o'brien. >> as he places the bread on the head of cardinal o'brien and the 21 other cardinals, there is a reminder to each one that the color that they wear, the red, is symbolic of the blood they are called to shed if necessary for the unity and the growth of the church. >> after the mass, we spoke with some of the baltimore faithful who made the pilgrimage. >> we are just so pleased to help celebrate with cardinal o'brien. and the rest of the folks here from baltimore. >> when the holy father calls out at what o'brien, what will you be feeling? >> it is a tremendous opportunity to be here with him.

president o'brien: any further public comment? public comment is closed. >> as stated during the instruction phase, i will call each nominee in the order in which they were nominated. we will then take a rollcall vote of yes or no for that nominee. the first nominee to reach a total of four votes will be elected vice president. if no nominee receives the required four votes, it will be up to the commission to hold another round of nominations where new or the same commissioners can be nominated. if the commission desires, a motion could be made to continue this item to february or a later date with a vote of four or more. i'd want to lay that out. kathleen dooley nominated by janet clyde. commissioner adams: no. commissioner clyde: yes. commissioner dooley: yes. president o'brien: no. commissioner o'connor: yes. commissioner riley: no. >> that's 3-3, it does not pass. on the motion for o'commissionerb -- o'brien. [vote] >> that motion fails 3-3. >> let me state that the basis we will take comments shortly. -- let me state that the

clerk: commissioner o'brien? president o'brien:

commissioner o'brien was nominated. [calling votes] that motion failed, 3-3. >> the you say the rest of the meeting is adjourned or just this item? >> without being able to take a formal action on this, we are required to close the meeting. if we are not able to continue this through a formal motion -- if we are not able to continue to the february meeting, the next step is to make a motion to close the meeting, but we still need a 4-3 vote on that. do we want to discuss it? >> of his time, commissioners can take additional nominations, or we would refer to robert's rules of order, and you need to either continue this on february 7 with four more commissioners, or the only option is to close the meeting. if commissioner o'connor is no longer present, since this is a procedural motion, only a majority of commissioners currently president would be required to vote to close the meeting. >> we need a majority. >> you just stated we need a majority at this point, which is i believe what the city attorney advised us if we hav

president o'brien: director? are you finished? commissioner clyde: well, now i'll make my comments now that i have had some clarity on issues, and i am very supportive of this. i am happy that it has come out of the mayor's office. we have had problems with things happening a little too quickly for information as expressed by all of the other commissioners. in principle, i can support the concept of this going forward in knowing that the mayor's office will work with the business community to make sure that it is as good a charter amendment as it can be. i think for consideration, i hope the board sees it that way. we have had too many instances in my four years on the board that things were just kind of puzzled through and moved through, and someone had to call a halt either on the president or someone at the committee level in order for legislation to be thoroughly and properly vented. i don't think there is any reason to fear a full, thorough, open vetting of any legislation that impact people's likelihoods. i would like to tha

president o'brien? president o'brien: i think i am just heard a very important point in the last part of what the speaker said, in the last sentence. i think they should definitely have that credited to the local company or debited to the benefit of the outside company to negate that, because that is an immediate not apples to apples comparison, so that needs to be in there. their fees have to be credited because that has to be there. i would like to see that put forward. >> commissioner client? commissioner -- commissioner clyde? commissioner clyde: i want to be careful because there are companies that hire in san francisco and are outside of the border. in oakland. i just want to be a little bit careful of that. we are in a regional economy, and i just want to be careful with that. we are in a regional economy. we are not somehow more arduous because we live in san francisco. i do want to support the companies that are doing socially responsible private, for-profit companies that are taking it upon th

president o'brien: questions, commissioner o'brien. thank you, president, the first thing was to disclose among many of the hats they wear in the city, i do a little bit of development work in the city and i wish to disclose for the record that that is the case, i have been directly advised that i could still participate in the discussion and weigh in on it, not to have a concern. in the interest of transparency, i want to make that disclosure. i find the presentation very informative, mr. yarne, i have many questions, i won't take up the whole evening with all of them today, but one or two that i thought might be quite important right away. so there is a proposal here that says we're going to include residential into the mix and just to help me understand the differences we may be talking about two different, totally different animals here all together. if you're developing in the eastern neighborhoods today, you will pay a fee that is referred to as an impact fee. it's extremely expensive. i'm dealing with a project now where the ini

on saturday, pope benedict will elevate o'brien to the position of cardinal. he sat down with rod daniels as he prepares for that historic event. >> i do accept the past care of the people in the archdiocese of baltimore. >> after serving for more than four years, archbishop edwin o'brien is taking on a new title, that of cardinal. just after the new year, pope benediction named o'brien to the college of cardinals. he is one of two american archbishop's to receive the honor this year. >> i was surprised, certainly. i am still very much involved with the archdiocese. iscardinal designate o'brien quick to point out that the pope is very well aware of baltimore's place in the history of the catholic church in america. >> the holy father always says yours was the first diocese. i think our country is proud of baltimore, too. it is good for baltimore to be recognized and to remind people of the contributions that baltimore has made to the church and to society throughout the nation. >> one of the most important task cardinal o'brien will face is to select the next

president o'brien: bear with me for a moment. let's say that i cannot do this in a readily achievable way, say i am with a foundation, and it is what it is, and i get a lawsuit. after the legislation passes but says, ok, i am now renewing the lease, and i still do not do it for readily achievable means, has anything been achieved? director: may i answer that? based on what we have seen, inspectors have found a readily achievable solution for most entrances and exits with the small businesses, so i think they're readily achievable or the technically feasible, it is there is subbasement, but it could be, depending on what is readily achievable for the property owner, if you have the three steps, which means if you are going to level and out, it is going to require a serious amount of work in terms of also buttressing the whole foundation and structure of the property, and mixed use above, so some of the readily achievable solutions are a doorbell with a sign that says "please ring for service," and oftentimes, there may be a portab

you. >> and his first press conference, cardinal o'brien referred to those first solemn moments with the holy father at the altar. >> i thanked him and said i would serve him completely with my whole heart. >> after the service, hundreds turned out any reception to wish cardinal o'brien well. >> i think it is wonderful. he is a good friend of ours. we're very honored to be able to be here with him. >> to have people like this that have represented baltimore, just wonderful people. >> i am very proud. i think the rest of baltimore is as well. he has earned it. he is a very good man. i think he was due. >> with the new title comes a new position in rome. cardinal o'brien says he will maintain a residence at the basilica in baltimore and plans to be back as often as he can. from rome, rod daniels for wbal- tv 11 news. >> many local catholics look bright and early to celebrate his elevation. sheldon dutes is live in north baltimore. >> considering his roots in the archdiocese of baltimore, many local catholics were proud to see a familiar face to rise to prominence, even if that meant be

president o'brien: i like that. i am all for simplicity, especially when doing business in san francisco. i want to get back to the director. with us coming up with percentages right now that might not be fully informed, what that really means, and that we could be given a figure that really understanding the impact of it. do you think we should wait until we hear more about work in 1% or 2%, how that plays out? >> -- director: no, that is not what i wanted you to think about. if you wanted to make a recommendation on the different percentages, i just wanted to make sure we had that discussion, and a motion is made if you want to go in that direction. i think, you know, and perhaps commissioner dwight could clarify -- right now, we have for our lbe and our sba lbe's, which are slightly larger small businesses, we have a discount for them. president o'brien: for being local. director: and we say local because one of the state propositions, we cannot classify our businesses as a woman, minority, or small business, so

. >> while most of us were sleeping baltimore's archbishop o'brien came cardinal o'brien.e schuh with more. >> reporter: on this day, pope benedict has created 22 new cardinals in the roman catholic church. in a shorter than normal ceremony at st. peters, one build it pageantry annapolisent and answerrent tradition, pope benedict smiles warmly and gives o'brien his cardinal's ring. he is the 15th archbishop of the country's oldest archdiocese and only the fourth to be elevated to cardinal. about a hundred flew to rome include a dozen from the baldwin family from baltimore. >> as members, we're honored he received such an honor. >> reporter: there are laf a million catholics under his guidance. earlier o'brien met with many street maryland who traveled to rome, including this family. >> he took the time to meet every individual person who was there and took a picture with pretty much every single one. >> reporter: o'brien is now in the company of 124 other cardinals who are under 80 and eligible to elect a new pope. the only one american is cardinal dolan. o'brien will soon

o'brien's, statement, they have obligations. >> exactly. if they are not doing improvements to trigger a dbi inspection, and they think they are in the clear. commissioner clyde: a kick, i would just weigh in and say that as a commercial landlord, this is reasonable. this is part of doing business. our laws have changed. we are required to do this. there are tax credits and programs to help find these improvements. unlike that there is an expedited permit process around this. i think that is really important. again, it is triggered by a change in tenants, so the landlord has the opportunity to plan for it. and it is also in the landlord's benefit because they are being sued as well as the tenants. landlords are subject to these. reading carmen chu's letter, i am concerned that this is targeting small businesses. obviously larger businesses have more resources, probably legal departments that are going to protect them from, you know, potential lawsuits, but, again, as written, they are currently excluded. that might be an amendment that you

commissioner dooley: i would like to say commissioner o'brien is doing a great job as president, but i fail to see the benefit of him continuing to run for another executive's position. again he can do a great job. he has done a great job, but it is time to share, and i fail to understand why this would even been brought up but this point, and i am very disappointed, and i am also disappointed in the other commissioners, who know and i am qualified to be vice- president, yet would choose to just rotate the same to people in a position. i find that a deserving metered that disturbing in the same way janet side has mentioned -- i find that disturbing in the same way janet has mentioned. commissioner o'connor: i want to make a point that sometimes when this commission seems to matter a little bit more is when actual supervisors feel they want to take third time to come here and present new legislation, and it is key that commissioners have relationships with supervisors in order to ensure supervisors show of and to take this commission seriously, so this is not a point of this or about.

but o'brien does not believe that goes far enough. he issued a strongly worded letter to every parish, accusing the administration of attacking religious liberty. many beyond baltimore's archdiocese agree. >> our catholic institutions that serve this nation well are being told -- you who find these things offensive, you should pay for them. in fact, you must pay for it. >> the policy would go into effect this summer but gives religious employers an extra year to comply. the obama spokesman defended the mandate even as he raised the possibility of making some sort of concession to the church. reporting live downtown, kim dacey, wbal-tv 11 news. >> a disturbing case out of harford county. a newborn was found dead inside a dumpster. a woman claimed to have abandoned the baby in the dumpster. the body was found in the dumpster. no word on the whereabouts of the mother. >> a man has been arrested. 30-year-old julius montgomery entered the bank on monday and gave a note demanding cash. he was found in a craft a vehicle and is being held wit
