. >> chair lee, members of the ethic's commission, the executive director and staff i'm aaron peskin, supervisor and author of the legislation that is before you, which as staff indicated responds to the vast majority of the issues that staff has raised and staff has pointed out the 2 places where there is still a slight difference. happy to visit with you about those. but we have had a collaboration with my office, mayor's office, which is joined by hank heckle remotely this morning. and your staff and to that end, we went from the 2 competing versions to the combined version and now you have the combined revised version that addresses the various amendments and points of contention in large part if not almost fully, i also would like to raise for your consideration some suggestions from counsel that -- that is that mr. bush? commissioner bush? i will proceed. >> i'm error. i'm sorry i thought i muted. >> and those are just some changes to the long title that properly reflect the changes that were made in the substance of the body of the legislation namely, to insert at line 9 on pag

>> please. >> this is supervisor aaron peskin to commissioner bush through chair lee. i believe that the original behested legislation introduced by supervisor haney was subject to meet and confer the measure that became proposition e was not subject to heat and confer, but the executive director of the department of human resources is in the room and don't want to put her on the spot but can answer any questions to the best of her ability. >> i dont want to be mysterious about what is behind my question. ethics has been working for some time on behested payments and updated our policies and we have been involved in a meet and confer process that has now gone on all most 3 years, and i'm wondering, is this what can be expected as a result of meet and confer and is that the same situation that the mayor for example has faced when she wanted to put something on the ballot that she has to go through a meet and confer process that can drag on several years before action can be taken. >> commissioner bush, director izen is here so she can briefly address your question. >> p

>>supervisor aaron peskin: thank you, chair melgar and supervisor dorsey. just a few questions. one is given the sensitivity of sky bridges which jane jacobs called out over a half century ago with seminole work over these american cities and given their own san francisco experience, we have been removing them and in a handful of cases very carefully providing for new ones. so there have been a number that have been removed downtown. this board voted unanimously to revoke the 1970s era permit for the pedestrian bridge connecting the hotel to a portion of the square over kearney street. i think what we have learned as a matter of city planning as it relates to pedestrian bridges and the shadows it cast and in some instances unsafe conditions which has been relative to the square and park is that we have designed them as very thin and transparent structures, and one of the questions that i had was what in so far as this city that's giving up the airspace, we can govern how thick and how tall and presumably in so far as giving up real property in this space to determine how transpa

it's interesting also to note that about a year ago us fellow supervisor aaron peskin apologized for his bullying of city staff at when confronted with it and at the time shaman walton defended pescence saying that no, no, in fact, the true bullies were the members of the mayor's staff who said they were being bullied by a pescat so you get gives you a flavor of what's going on phil and i want to add this you can almost call this a will smith moment if you will, you know, we can say what was going through the mind of the board president shaman walton, but clearly he was very upset. apparently. he lost his cool and he acted now again what this cadet is me is that at this point an apology at this point wouldn't mean too much to him as you heard there, but what he wants from supervisor walton is for him to go in front of all the supervisors and in his words. tell the truth. well, this is where things get complicated and lawyers get involved leanne to put it very bluntly. you know, the more that the supervisor sort of places to blame on the cadet that increases possibly the these liabili
