basic to the good of appropriateness was required for the work. in appraising a proposal for certificate of appropriateness, the historic preservation commission considered the factors of architectural style, design, arrangement, texture materials, color, and other pertinent factors. section 1,006.7 of the planning code provides a relevant part as follows. the proposed work shall be appropriate for a consistent with the a fluctuation of the purposes of article 10 of the planning code. the proposed work shall be compatible with the historic structure in terms of designed materials, for, scale, and location. the project will not detract from the architectural character. for all the exterior and interior were proposed, reasonable efforts have been made to preserve and enhance or restore and not to damage or destroy the exterior architectural features of the subject property which contribute to its significance. as we typically do, for today's hearing, we will hear from the appellant to up -- have up to 10 moments in told to describe the grounds for a

today, we will be hearing the appeal of the certificate of appropriateness. i look forward to listening at the hearing. thank you, colleagues. president chiu: why don't we hear from the appellants? you have of to 10 minutes -- up to 10 minutes. >> i would passed out copies to all 11 supervisors. additional background documents% to the board this morning. -- were sent to the board this morning. the issuance is premature because they have not commented on the process. specifically, but not limited to, the treatment of a wall between the richardson hall annex. the unnecessary demolition at the community theater and the art preservation mitigation. this is one project and it impacts the entire national register historic district and it should be considered as aholt in addition -- as a whole in addition to the ape. the ea has not been issued yet. the project is analyzed in the 2008 eir. no project alternatives -- the reuse of building by the university of california retain the integrity of the national register district. the achp would require amendments to ensure

year or the board of supervisors has appropriated it.ine- tend through a 11-12 please of expenditures are about $2 million less than budget. our recommendation as stated on page 4, we recommend you approve the proposed resolution and specifically for the items cited on page 4 of our report, which includes a reduction by $2 million from $93 million to $91 million for the cost i just referenced and you approve the resolution as amended. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor kim: i have one question for the budget analyst. and of the board was unable to allocate a call for any of our nonprofit contract in this year we were able to allocate to the mayor's budget a 1% cola starting in july of this year and another 1% starting in august through the board. does that mean the coal being approved for this contract mirrors that 1% or -- the cola being approved for this country mayors that 1%? >> what the recommendation is doing here is simply taking out something that was never allocated as a cost of living. what the board did in this new fiscal y

president chiu: the certificate of appropriateness is affirmed. colleagues, why don't we go to our committee reports? items 57 did not come out of committee. >> items 58 was considered by the government audits and oversight committee. it was supported as a committee report. is the resolution authorizing the director of the mayor's office of housing to execute a local operating subsidy program grant agreement with the mercy housing to provide operating subsidieeless single adults at the arlington hotel in an amount not to exceed $9.3 million. president chiu: this resolution is adopted. i understand item 59 is going to be coming out of committee in september september 4. >> item 68 -- item 60 was considered at a regular meeting on monday, july 30. our resolution authorizing the recreation and park department to accept an expensive gift from the baker street foundation for $100,000 for the salary of a gardener at the polo fields in golden gate park for at least a year. president chiu: without objection, this resolution is adopted. supervisor mar: thi

according to the appropriateness, i am also questioning the legality of it. it has actually been a legal -- illegal, and the door handle is currently 5 feet tall, 5 feet high, so it is not a wheelchair accessible, and that would have to be changed. the gate is requested to be open from 8:00 until 5:00 p.m., but for the last three months i have been keeping records of when it has been closed, and i have just put a piece of paper on the light box so you can see all of the notices. i have sent an e-mail each time it has been a close, son it happened when i needed to be taken to the hospital, -- when a woman needed to be taken to the hospital. i am requesting if you are going to leave the gate and have opened hours that they start earlier in the morning so they do not have to be stressed out as to whether they have to be open and opened later in the evening. my friends who drives me do not get off work until 6:00, and that is when they drive me to go grocery shopping, so how about 7:30 until 10:00 p.m. commo, sog that is appropriate for my needs? who is responsib

i am willing to hear from the permit holder, how would he assure us of providing appropriate access to the tenants of both buildings? please come forward. >> there are probably 40 tenants in each building. we could give each kennan -- tenant a key when they move in. >> they have been waiting for months. >> we have given out quite a few, but we could give them 100% to every tenant, whether they need it or not. but as the other building. we have no reason not to give them a key. it keeps people from coming into the building, so there are quite a few people. good and we cannot have security of the police force, and there is a lot of activity. we did think we were going in the right direction, but then anybody could come and go. you could leave. gowe have the design pretty well done. there are some tweaks. >> you currently have security cameras that would expose what is going on in the alley? >> i think so. >> how long have you been doing this? >> six months. 5 i think it would be great if we could use some of the footage of the time during regular -- if you kept the gate open 24 hours and

i think it is appropriate we're making these accommodations on our last meeting before the recess of the board of supervisors. it is my honor, my pleasure to call upon andrew mchenley. if he can please come. we are in the middle of the olympics. if the board of supervisors could hand out gold medals, i think mr. mchenley will get one of those. born in ithaca, n.y., he moved to san francisco in 1968 and has been a bay area resident ever since. it is important to note that his parents, his mother and father, grace and joe instilled in him a love of books and learning, something that has guided his work in -- throughout his life. something which definitely lead him to a string of bookstore jobs all over the bay area since he moved in 1968. in 1989 he opened adobe bookshop on 16th street which is a block away from mission dolores church. he quickly turned the bookstore into a local hubbub for artists and musicians and the entire community. we have seen many mission based artists and musicians who had their first show, their first performance, their first introduction to the community at

when they come back in august, they will be dealing with appropriations for two weeks, the appropriation bills and the suspense calendar, and then they will go straight to the floor. a lot of bills moving in that direction, including some of the ones i will update you on. first, a slate of bills that have particular interest to the bay area, the community, and particularly san francisco. a.b. 57 includes the requirement that we saw that san francisco had a third representative. it is on the governor's desk, and as a result, i am organizing a check-in with the governor's office staff to make sure whether they are standing on that, and i will have that completed by the end of the week. there are two bills by the senate transportation chairman that have been of high interest. the bill was basically killed in the assembly transportation early last week and is no longer valid for the year. s.b. 878 b which at one point started off as a bay area governance issue, restructured the relationships in the bay area, and then ran into trouble and became more of a bill to deal with economic strategies

that frees up $6 million from the initial 19.5 appropriation. the appropriation ordinance that will go before the commission, before the board of supervisors , it keeps the $19.5 million appropriation, but we are using that additional $6 million that has been freed up to allow us to start out of the gate at $2 million for energy efficiency for participating customers for a solar incentives and have $2 million available for getting studies under way to have the bailout -- ability to do local builder out sooner. the $6 million is all contingent upon the program getting under way. it is before the board of supervisors. minders getting is that the items are up for consideration -- my understanding is that the items are up for consideration on the 12th. they could be a proving that legislation by the end of september. there is also regulatory update. do not have much to their that is very exciting -- i do not have much there that is very exciting. supervisor campos: i knelow commissioner shmeltzer had a question. commissioner shmeltzer: it was put to

vice president fung: i think that would be appropriate. president hwang: having reviewed the testimony, the board of appeals -- denies the appeal. protesting the issuance of a coastal zone permit to the recreation and park to provide for the renovation of the beach chalet facility for the following reasons. the board has had available for review and consideration the environmental impact report and/or -- all correspondence and documents related to the review for the renovation of the athletic field, the project. this is available for public inspection at the border appeals office at 1615 mission street and is made part of the record by this reference herein. the board based on substantial evidence in light of the record including information presented at this hearing finds there have been no project changes or changes in project circumstances and no new intimation of substantial importance that would change the conclusions of the planning department's california environmental act quality determination. this board finds the project is consi

>> i think the board is faced with a slightly different question as to the appropriateness of the gate, because the department of public works and building inspection recognizes there is an additional issue as it relates to a accessibility that needs to be adjusted, and if we know about it today, we go back to the applicant, saying this adjustment needs to be made. you need to make provisions moving forward. the question is the appropriateness rather than the design, because we can require the applicant to adjust to the design to satisfy requirements. >> can i ask the clarification question? there is a permit issued for your requirement, which sounds separate from needing to go to the building to get ++ approprie that will necessitate encroachment as well. >> i think the threshold question is whether the encroachment in itself is appropriate, and the second question is why we continue did today, which is if there is going to be an encroachment, is the gate going to be in compliance? i thought the threshold question was satisfied at the last hearing, but i could be wrong. >> i believe t

really child appropriate.n that think that that suddenly is one of the components. >> i want to come back to one of the earlier questions and get more specifics. what would you like to see congress do? what could they do best in your view to help the attorneys general? >> well, i think that there should be privacy policies that most companies now do have. very accessible right out front, very easy to get, not have to go to dashboards and different levels of their sight didn't find something that is 30 pages long. perot, by the way, every time you buy something we are selling it to 45 other companies and bring in a truck market to you. so that transparency needs to be a component of it is to be easily accessible. the opt out, you can opt in, a little bit and ambitious. but the ability to opt out, i think, is essential. so there are at least two components that we would like to see the federal government get involved in. >> and microsoft is change their policy on their new operating system to opt in? >> which is

the department would issue a supplemental permit for reconstruction of the sidewalk as appropriate toke it happen in this case. president hwang: and that is at the cost and responsibility of the applicant? >> absolutely. vice president fung: we don't want to make the situation worse in terms of accessibility. president hwang: and the supplemental permit would be appealable? >> that would be correct. at them as would be the building permit. >> correct. vice president fung: before you leave, or my conditions clear to you? >> yes, it was, building permits required, keys be provided to all units within both buildings by the applicant, and any adjustments required to be made on the gate would be needing additional permits as appropriate to satisfy the access. vice president fung: right. president hwang: i have a friendly amendment to the motion, and its conditions would be pending the perfecting of the permit and applying for and getting them issued, etc., pending the hours of the gate to be open from 7:30 until 6:00 p.m., rather than 8:00 until 4:00 p.m., and that must be complied with. i

for instance, i would hope in an appropriate preschool you would always see a climber...be a chain that they will have to problem solve and figure out how to move on that. so even though they are running off energy, they're also outside problem-solving, figuring out ways to move their bodies on different objects to promote that development. hendrick: vigorous play is the breath of life to children. our young people need to climb... crawl... run... balance... and hang from equipment. what would you do? how would you use your environment? what sorts of activities and equipment would you suggest that would help your children maximize their playtime? we have...sometimes we involve dancing in our lesson plans. we have things like the balance beam out, and that stimulates their coordination and their sense of balance. um...even going outside and running. so far, we have looked at how to provide an appropriate and safe environment and the proper equipment and activities. but there's more to physical development than just the large muscle tasks of walking, running, jumping, and c

looking at a device, the electronically controlled devices would be appropriate. it has pretty much cornered the market, and it has devices in place in agencies across the country. of the top when the law enforcement agencies in the country, we are the only one that does not have the devices employed. even the memphis police department, which is the benchmark of training, decided it needed to add electronically controlled devices for officers. even prior to the of those officers trained in crisis prevention were provided with the impact weapon, and perhaps this would be a good time to show you exactly what i am talking about. this is the weapon system that is deployed in memphis with a crisis intervention team. every one of their officers is trained. it is used in the concept of contact and cover. you have the initial officer who does what they can to try to de- escalate based on the skills they have developed, whereas the secondary officer has this system. he is not there all the time, but this system is available in the event force needs to be used to identify a

they, however, move to the part of the church in front of the altar, dressed and appropriately, which was deeply in a prepared to the orthodox christians present in the church, and in the altar part of the church, which is part of the tort normally reserved for the clergy -- part of the church normally reserved for the clergy, the part of that is normally reserved for reading this scripture or for giving sermons, and they, together with their accomplices, removed the other -- the upper part of their clothing, revealing the and appropriate clothing underneath it and, right in front of the altered doors, they revealed the clothing underneath that was brightly colored and showed the marks and appropriately. the masks were also considered inappropriate for a church. looking like this, standing in the holiest -- in a holy building, they carried out their criminal acts together with their accomplices who had an electrical guitar and they tried to play electric guitar, ring bells, and, at the same time, the front part of the altar, switched on a recording of a song, while holding a microphon

but since the question has been raised, i would like to know the answer to that when the appropriate form when you have that information. it is not specific to this report as far as i am concerned. >> the other question i wanted to pass, if you can give us a sense of where we are compliance was. part of the audit that we did two years ago found that we were out of compliance in a lot of areas. what i am hoping is that we have addressed those compliance areas. and according to this day, this is our certification that we say we are going to comply can deliver services. but how are we doing? >> the annual service plan and the actual budget plan and not related to compliance. we received funding and we need to document how we are using this funding. what services are we providing to account for the funding? it is not at all related to compliance. how to address your question, compliance is something that we are talking about every day. we are aggressively doing professional development with staff and teams to improve compliance. we are truly addressing it at every opportunity. i am not s

to discuss anticipated litigation as plaintiffs, how can anyone comment on whether or not it is appropriate to go into closed session when they know absolutely nothing proved litigation about what? against whom? for what purpose? is there not a single, salient point that would give some understanding to be members of the public? members of the public should have enough information in the agenda to enable them to address whether conducting this particular business beyond the view of the public is appropriate. ethics commission staff, and by that i mean mr. sage current -- mr. st. croix -- i would argue that you have missed it completely the spirit of the law. the police commission, they give us the tate -- the type of case, the case number. they give us some idea of what they are going in the back to discuss, and what you have here, there is no way anybody would have the faintest idea, and i have a hard time believing there is not a single thing you can tell the public about what you're going back there to discuss that would allow them to make meaningful comment on whether or not a closed se
