a. peskin: thank you. commissioner fewer? >> >> i would expect to see these at my middle school presidio, and other middle schools that could benefit. when i vote on millions and millions and millions of prop-k funds which my residents also contribute to, i see little reflected for any kind of improvements in my neighborhood. so i think really the voice of equity, that our schools in the richmond district shouldn't be neglected but should actually be prioritized. thank you. >> chair a. peskin: thank you, commissioner fewer. mr. quintanilla, any comment? if not i will open it up -- oh, commissioner safai? >> commissioner safai: sorry, i want to put a plug for the only middle school in my district, james denman, the same grounds as balboa, so you could get a two-for-one potentially working with those schools in a similar location. as supervisor cohen said we are also transit-starved for different alternatives. we just did bike and roll to work, or excuse me, to school. it is successful every year, it's gettin

a. peskin: thank you, mr. white. seeing no other members of the public on this item, public comment is closed. colleagues, is there a motion to move item number 5? made by commissioner brown. seconded by commissioner mandelman. on that item made and seconded, a roll call please. >> clerk: item 5, brown aye. cohen aye. fewer aye. commissioner kim aye. commissioner mandelman aye. commissioner peskin aye. commissioner ronen aye. commissioner safai aye. commissioner stefani aye. commissioner tang aye. commissioner yee aye. the item is first approved. >> chair a. peskin: all right. next item, please? >> clerk: i'll just make a quick note we are having slight technical difficulty with the laptop but we have the overhead projector working and all these powerpoints are posted on our website. item 6 adopt ten 2019 prop k 5-year prioritization programs and amendment of six 2014 prioritization programs. >> i'm very pleased to present the first group of 5-year prioritization programs to you this morning for the 2019 period, for t

a. peskin: mr. cordoba. >> happy to present item 8 on the ybi west side bridges seismic retrofit project. i want to give a refresher course on the project itself. it sits on the western slope of yerba buena island. there are five bridges -- actually a total of eight bridges there all seismically deficient. there's some urgency involved. cost approximately $55 million right now. it's funded primarily with federal highway bridge program seismic retrofit funds, as well as proposition 1-b seismic retrofit funds with some local match. we are at an environmental completion phase. we performed approximately 30% of the preliminary engineering. our intent is to start construction in about 16 months from now. very unique features on the project. there's some landslides in the area. steep terrain. limited access above the bay, etc.. i gave a presentation back earlier this year related to the challenges here and i appreciate the approval that you gave me to go ahead and move forward with the evaluation for a c.m

plus some sort of a trigger that could be in the building code. >> supervisor peskin: that's more of a long-term recommendation, and it seems it should be a more immediate term recommendation. >> i'm trying to think what we listed it there as. yeah, it is in the longer term. it's not a short-term one. it would require as a minimum -- you know, how is medium and long. you know, but i think it's more of an issue than the geotechnical a.b. we talked about before, because that's really talking about codifying, if you will, what's good practice now. what's recommended for these new buildings, higher performance, this is going beyond good practice now. >> supervisor peskin: yeah, it's controversial because it's expensive. miss kelley. >> so two more under seismic risks following earthquakes. this one can be done administratively, but it may be one you're interested in legislatively, and this is post the 1989 loma prieta earthquake. as we found the northridge earthquake with welded steel frames, it's not readily visible, after northridge, it took years to figure out there was damage on those

peskin: and that does not include grade separations? >> does not include grade separations. that's based on a 2016 cost estimate, supervisor, and we've been working with staff on funding to update the cost estimate after we do the 30% design. >> chairman peskin: and grade separations are worth over a billion dollars, $2 billion? >> based on the r.a.b. study. >> chairman peskin: so we're looking at a project that's north of $6 billion. is that a fair statement? >> as we currentliest mate. we would need to do some more assessments and establish a program based on that, and that's the allocated previously for us and discussion today. our focus is the $4 billion, not the $6 billion. we have a billion dollars in starts and another billion in local and other funding, and we're looking to have discussions with high-speed rail and caltrain on passing a facilities charge for folks that would use the trains from the 4th and king station and to a transit center that would also generate approximately $2 billion over time that we can -- >> supervisor, the reason i'm asking these questions, i want to make

it's a pleasure to be here, and supervisor peskin, i appreciate your interest. i've been involved in the pier tall building project for a number of years, so it's good to see this moving forward. again, dr. shah vindani is a practicing geotechnical engineer. we're here representing our team. i just wanted to mention john hooper, his team has designed the salesforce tower, many other tall buildings in san francisco and other cities. so this project is tasked with looking at tall buildings, both new ones in the future, existing tall buildings, and looking at policies and so forth to ensure their safety and improve their resilience. project started about a year ago, we had the projections release about a week ago, and final reports with more details are forth coming. one of the things to take stock that we started was to develop an inventory of tall buildings in san francisco. we're pleased that this has been pulled into the sf data portal. in that, we focused in buildings above 140 feet. there is 156 of them, either existing or under construction. one of them that

we have to wait until the testing is completed. >> chairman peskin: had this not been detected, what was the chance of aructural failure above fremont street? >> can you repeat that question again, supervisor. >> chairman peskin: i'm asking you to speculate on whether or not this building would have collapsed had these cracks not been found? >> i don't want to speculate, supervisor. it is a very unfortunate incident. we are very disappointed it happened. as dennis mentioned we had quality at four levels. it didn't work. i think the best thing for us to do is wait for the test results to come out to determine the causization and from there hold the party responsible. >> chairman peskin: while we have you up here, can you tell us how many square feet of occupied and unoccupied space in that building which is the size of the empire state building? >> about 1.1 million square feet for all levels. >> chairman peskin: and how much of it is available for lease? >> we have 100,000 square feet available for phase one. we have another 30,000 square feet or 40,000 square feet on the lower concourse that will be av

and a supervisor peskin pointed out and as our members believe as well, of the bay is tremendously important to san franciscans. it is in crisis. the bay has been in a critical drought. it has been 400 years since salinity has been seen at these levels. increased flow will help with that and help with sediment. it will help with erosion and help with pollution. san francisco value speeches and i think this resolution is vital the political reality is san franciscans love san francisco bay and they don't want to see it harmed. the reality is san franciscans are ready to sacrifice and conserve to put more water into the tuolumne river for fish and fishermen who make their living off of them and the political reality is san franciscans are ready to put their money with their mouths are when it comes to my mental thank you. >> madam chair, supervisors, on the executive director of the pacific coast federation of fishermen his associations representing 750 commercial fishermen on the california coast. fourteen port and marketing associations including two bays in san francisco. i am a resident in

aaron peskin, san francisco supervisor"how many isolated incidents are going to show that there is a pattern here?" supervisor aaron peskin concerned and disturbed after learning about a second cracked window on the millennium tower.he says it was discovered last friday during a visual inspection ... but no one reported it to the department of building inspection until yesterday.in the report, engineers say the window washing firm at the building has known about it

>> supervisor safai: i'd like to agree with a lot of what supervisor peskin said. we put a lot of work into coming up with these inclusionary numbers. there was a lot of thought, i know that supervisor kim, a lot of these projects are in her district, so the idea there would be an extended period of time to allow for entitlement, and that was a date that was chosen. there was a lot of conversation about this over a long period of time, so as supervisor peskin said, a lot of us have known about this. i understand because these are -- i think almost every single one except for two or three, maybe four or five, are less than 100 units. the vast majority of these projects were smaller units, which means they are not necessarily always folks that are doing development all the time. i think as we've gone through the list, and that's why i asked for each specific one, almost every one of them has been taken off the list that would not be able to deal with 18 months. i think 18 months is a good compromise, so i appreciate the mayor's office and supervisor kim and peskin com

peskin has divided the question. items 11 and 12, for one question, and item -- lines 13 and 14 as a second item. could you just read for clarification what you'd like to see in items -- sorry, in lines 11 and 12? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam president. as set forth in the amendment before you, i would like to remove the further resolve on page 3 at line 11 and 12 that the city and county of san francisco also affirms that single-family homes should be exempted from rent control and be it. so i would like to vote to remove those words that were inserted in committee as our first vote. >> president cohen: okay. and we can do a roll call vote. >> clerk: all right, on the motion to strike lines 11 and 12 -- [ roll call ] yee aye. supervisor brown, aye. supervisor cohen. aye. fewer? aye. supervisor kim, aye. mandelman, aye. peskin, aye. ronen, aye. safai, no. stefani, no. >> president cohen: all right, thank you. mr. peskin, if you could restate the second portion of your motion. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam president. the second portion is to remove the words "and/or single-family

someone that does not have a law degree you will be able to perform those duties well. >> supervisor peskin: i think you would. we are charge in this body to put more women in these positions and having a body that has only one female on it and woman of color, this is an important decision. i feel like there might be other stuff going on. i hope that some folks would consider make the right decision and appoint ms. tanner to this body. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i wanted to echo that having msc requirements. one of the areas we struggled is having age diversity to the young woman. gender, diversity as well as ethnic diversity. i hope that that would factor into your considerations, in your vote. -- let's call the roll. [roll call] >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next item. >> clerk: excuse me. item number 26 is a motion appointing josh wolf, leuwam tesfai, bruce wolf, frank cannata and matthew yankee. to sunshine ordinance task force. >> supervisor cohen: we take roll call vote on this. [roll call] >> supervisor cohen: this motion is approved. next item. >> clerk: committee reports. it

do you have a map of where these adus applications are being pulled from the city or districts? >> supervisor peskin: other subset, how many of these are involved with mandatory or voluntary seismic retrofits? >> we can provide a map. we don't have it here, but there could be a map available for the permits issued. >> what we do have, the numbers vary every week. we're working on getting a detailed number, the time it goes from arrival to the day it's issued. we're working on that data. these numbers fluctuate every week. so the numbers i gave you is for the screening forms received, permits issued, waiting time for pickup -- we're trying to break these down so we know where they are. 503. under review by planning is 344. under review by dbi 57. under review by permit processing center and other agencies, san francisco fire, 49. no routing. so we track these weekly to see how many they are. >> supervisor kim: none of these numbers are consistent with the ones that were just presented in the power point presentation. you said that 345 were approved. and 85 were built. it looks like here, only 46 were

seeing none, public comment is closed. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor peskin: and on the consent agenda, a roll call, please. >> clerk: motion? >> supervisor peskin: oh, that's right. we do motions here. motion by supervisor ronen, seconded -- by commissioner ronen, seconded by commissioner brown. and on that motion, a roll call, please. >> clerk: on the consent agenda -- [roll call] >> clerk: we have final approval. >> supervisor peskin: okay. all of those items are finally approved. congratulations, mrs. geege. that was monument tall. call the next item. >> clerk: recognition to michael painter for the presidio park design. this is an action item. >> supervisor peskin: commissioner stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you. colleagues. but you is a recognition of michael painter for his outstanding contributions to the presidio park design. he passed away on june 29 after a long life and distinguished career in architecture. michael had his own firm, michael painter and associates since 1969, later renamed m.p.a. design in 1984 and in the course of his career completed over 850 projects,

has a question. >> supervisor peskin: a question for miss donahue relative to the issues around ex-party communications with a hearing officer. can you explain that to us? i think that the contention was that a.c.c. staff should not be having ex-party communications with the hearing officer in advance of the hearing, did i understand that correctly? yes. >> a.c.c. staff does not have communications with the hearing officer in advance of the hearing. there is -- there was a court case in which a hearing officer had communications and he was not and has never been part of a.c.c. >> supervisor peskin: and so, in other words, the hearing officer affirmatively reached out to a.c.c. staff -- >> no, the hearing officer affirmatively reached out to the participants in the process, not to a.c.c. staff. >> supervisor peskin: and that was outside of the actual hear something. >> that was outside of the actual hearing. the participant was able to document that and that went through the system and was, you know, the hearing officer was reprimanded for the communication. >> supervisor
