and here one has things like the kennedy assassination commission, the 9/11 commission and these things are sometimes treated, not necessarily by politicians, but by people with shall we say a finer sense of the nation's culture, more refined one, if you will, as actual pieces of national literature that are revealing in the way that bail wolf is revealing or hamlet was revealing or the great gatsby is revealing. so, for example, the great novelist don dalillo in his novel "libra" the astrology cal sign describes the warren commission as follows, it's the mega ton novel that james joyce would have written if he had moved to iowa city and lived to be 100. okay. the 9/11 commission like wise has occasionally gotten this sort of treatment. the great late harvard historian daniel aaron called it epic, not in the sense of an epic hype, but in the sense of an epic narrative, like bail wolf. with the terrorist as grinnedel and without the sort of miraculous moccana, if you will, intervention of bail wolf to save the towers or the american people from the attack and the lesson is very clearly t

i am the commission president and this commission meeting is being conducted pursuant to visions of the brown act and recent executive orders by the governor to facilitate teleconferencing to reduce the risk of covid-19 transmission at public meetings. ordinarily, the brown act sets strict rules for teleconferencing. the executive order does require that we continue to notice meetings in advance. the department has met all of the applicable notice requirements. as noted on the agenda, members of the public may observe this teleconference meeting via sf gov tv and may public comment by calling the published public comment phone number. i would like to welcome the members of the public and staff who are watching online, sfgovtv. the commission asks and thanks for your patience during these unprecedented times. teleconferencing has never happened in our history. that being said, we respectfully ask the public to have patience and expect delays and gaps during the meeting, particularly during public comment. we're working diligently to learn and become familiar with this new system as this

unless the commission determines it would hold a special meeting. >> commission azunis? >> thank you for that report, director. yeah, i have some questions, too, given there was a lot of grey area during the last -- i mean, in the last couple of months and people were electing to take unemployment because whatever subsidized agreement they came to, it wasn't enough. so i'm just wondering if those nuances -- if they're delinquent crated with what type of separation triggers this? because a lot of people went on unemployment on their own volition. >> again, on my first read, i would say no. so i think there is active education that is going to be needed at a fairly rapid rate to the board of supervisors as this does affect or small businesses and all of the various nuances of what businesses -- how they chose to operate and the decisions they made often in communication with their employees. so if that answers your question. >> yes, i mean, definitely. i think that this doesn't put a good will on the side of the small business, unfortunately, because we need workers. the se

to the planning commission. as many of you, i started the balboa reservoir advisory committee in 2015. to help basically shift out the compensation about a potential project on the balboa reservoir site. before the committee was formed, it was very clear that we were not going to make it any progress when people were shouting over each other, meeting after meeting. temperature felt pretty pointless. city staff was trying to take notes and it seems like what i see from those type of meetings, didn't really -- didn't really reflect what people were saying. it's almost like whatever staff wanted to hear themselves. before the committee was formed, the committee by their structure and the way for the neighbors, most immediately impacted like sunnyside, westwood park and city college to have representatives to help shape a set of principles and parameters that ultimately led to selection of the developer. and now the project proposal that is moving through the city review process. and the committee since then, since l

at the rec and park commission hearing last week on may 21, the rec and park commission voted unanimously that the shallow impact would not be adverse to the use of those parks. and lastly the project is requesting a downtown project authorization and the commission must approve this authorization and grant exceptions from the following seven code requirements. one for awnings, marquises, two for usable open space for dwelling units, three for dwelling unit exposure requirements, four for the reduction of ground level wind currents, five, [inaudible] mixed requirements, six limbs within the van ness special use district and seven, both controls to permit new construction of the new 36-story mixed building and roof height of about 265 feet tall. staff finds that this project is on balance, consistent with the downtown and market [inaudible] plans as well as the objectives and policies of the general plan as stated in the staff report and staff recommends that you approve the three actions before you for the following reasons. because, one, the project provides a substantial amount of new r
