decisions to the board of supervisors for review, and we recognize, as we've already heard, that the city charter endows the board of supervisors with the authority to exercise these additional review powers. and in some cases, we feel review of this type may be valuable to ensure that the sf mta is working in unison with the city's elected leadership toward a shared vision of the future, and supervisor peskin referenced private transportation issues a number of times, and we think that is an area where this kind of review would be especially valuable because these private transportation functions which largely i would say were not anticipated when prop a or prop e were created certainly beg a lot of much larger city policy discussions. we are, however, concerned about the breadth of decisions that would be subject to another layer of review and the implications that this might have on our ability to deliver vitally important transportation projects on schedule, and in accordance with the policy objectives, i was pleased to hear the reaffirmation by supervisor peskin of the transit first policy a

so perour city charter, the planning commission is required to approve all permitted regulated by the planning code but may delegate its authority to the planning department. so these amendments in red would clarify that the commission is delegating its approval authority for these hsd projects, meeting all requirements to the planning department to enable ministerial approval. that concludes my presentation, but i'm going to invite our director, john rahaim, up. >> thank you, everyone. commissioners, for the record, john rahaim with planning department staff. it was a long presentation. we understand this has been before you a number of times. we are indeed asking for your approval today of a seven-year process, and the products of that process. i think i won't spend a long time talking about this, but i do want to just remind us all why we did this to begin with. we came to the idea of doing a central soma plan during the eastern neighborhoods process when we determined that this corridor was a central subway and nearby other transit improvements was a valuable corridor to look at f

that would provide for execution by the board of supervisors a provision that k3i69s exists i city charter that would allow the board of supervisors to hear appeals of certain mta decisions. without getting too much into the details of it, a number of decisions relating to parking changes, private transit, or provide transportation actions, those kind of -- a number of different items, including an addition at the committee yesterday of decisions to approve or not approve stop sign requests would be appealable under this proposed legislation to the board of supervisors. by our count, in 2017, there were about 575 such actions that would be potentially subject to appeal. it was 275 before the addition yesterday at the committee of stop sign requests, which brought the number from 275 to 575: there were some changes made on the fly at yesterday's committee meeting, amendments that were adopted by the committee. we haven't seen any of these things in writing, but changed some of the thresholds for an appeal. a proposal was that it would take five members of the board of supervisors to hear an

commission staff, the people who advise us from the city attorney's office, and others who work hard to make sure we live up to the mandates of the charter of the city of san francisco. they deserve our highest respect and thank you. and thank you to the citizens of san francisco who have constantly given me reminders in many, many forms of what they believe san francisco should be, and i hope to some measure i have lived up to that in the last seven years. thank you for the time, the attention, and the ability to serve. thank you. commissioners, and i'll say -- commissioner dejesus, i'm sorry. >> commissioner dejesus: so i also want to say thank you to commissioner turman. you've been refreshing, you've been plain speaking, you've been pretty blunt with us. it was refreshing to have that bluntness, but you also had understanding of complex and difficult issues that we faced. you know, you and commissioner loftus led us through some pretty trying times in the community and some trying community meetings, but i think most of that was successful, and we have come away with a body of policy for this department that really moved us into the

the cities charter mandates that san francisco have more than 1900 full duty officers. the proposal that was unveiled today is just a proposal and nothing is set in stone yet. the mayor will have to present this budget proposal to the board of supervisors. one question we are waiting for an answer to is where does this money come from? extra funds that have been found to fund these resources? we put in a request for information and hopefully we will have an update. back to you guys. >>> san jose police are investigating a double shooting which left one man dead and one injured. here is the story. >> reporter: police are investigating two seems to see if they are connected to each other. they found the victims in this parking lot. we are told that one of the victims died at the hospital. this is now a homicide investigation. it happened near calero avenue this morning. police responded to reports of two people shot in the lucky supermarket parking lot. officers found two been shot inside of a car. one victim was transported to the hospital and later died. police are inve

coaching to try and bring all city departments along to improve their performance measurement and presentation of it. we have a couple of programs which are called for under the charter, reporting on the city's streets, parks, and sidewalks. we have very specific set of standards. we go out and do inspections, and then we publish an annual report which you'll have seen a couple of times. in fiscal year 2018-19 we're going to go through a process with the department of public works and other stakeholders to update the street standards for a lot of different reasons. there's a lot of interest among this among elects officials, members of the public. we think our street standards need a revamp, things like the sharps and needles and the homeless encampment standards, and we'll be doing that in a consultive process during the first part of the fiscal year. citywide nonprofit monitoring and accountability. if you read any of our reports, we publish a study of reports in compliance for the nonprofits, whether they're meeting the standards or not. lastly, we have two sort of sets of teaching programs. data academy is mostly very straightforward, teaching in softwares that m

city charter does not allow for special elections so the council will pick a replacement based on applications and interviews. he has run and lost several times he's a professor and president of the muslim community association. he would be one of the first nonwhite counselors in the city which is less than half white. people can apply until tuesday. voters will elect a permanent counselor in november. >> it will be a big day if your kids attent charter school in concord. several administrators abruptly leaving and still don't know why. but the contra costa county education department plans a financial audit. the interim executive director is holding a town hall meeting tonight and we're putting those details on your screen as you see right there. he says he will not talk about school leadership and spending but we don't think this will stop parents from asking those questions. >> 6:07. the u.s. summit with north korea may still officially be off. happening today secretary of state mike pompeo will be meeting with north korea's vice chairman. the meeting takes place in new york. pompeo will sp

the answer is that is city charter essentially says that we can't build a garage because it would take money away from operations. given that a garage would cost probably tens of millions of dollars to accommodate the kind of demand that we see here it's safe to assume this would take away from operations. also this board would have to approve a garage comporting with the transit first policy that would be a tough case the make in this example. similarly a lot of folks said why not give permit to workers in the area to park. we heard this from transit workers saying what about permits for transit workers, pdr workers, folks who work in the retail businesses and may be approving early or leaving late. that sill -- that illustrates why permits wouldn't work. if you give everybody a permit you might not as well not have any regulations because then they are moved because everybody can park everywhere. i think it's important to remember that as i've said a lot of the reason for this regulation is to move along all the folks who don't actually have any business in the dog patch center, are

and then, the understanding and the way that the city charter is setup and the way that the -- the current structure is that we essentially have no authority over the mta, and the voters made that decision. we went through a series of legislative moves and charter amendments in '99 and 2007. but embedded in the charter was also the ability -- and as supervisor peskin pointed out when we also started this conversation is that we'd never exercised certain aspects that -- of the charter that the voters gave us, and that's the piece of legislation that you see in front of us today. i'm going to let supervisor peskin talk about some of the points that he made, but i think in its inception about separation of powers and the way of removing politics from the sf mta, the intent was never to create one final authorizing area, it was more about trying to remove politics but in effect, we ended up putting one elected official in charge of by appointment power for the commissioners, as well as the recommendation of the executive director and otherwise. so what we had attempted to do in our conversatio
