opportunity fund has created a fund for the ada. i think is $50,000 that can be used. several had been sued, so there was a meeting to kind of clarify again what is the law, what is the federal, what is the state, where does the city fit into this, and really trying to explain why if you do get a permit, a stamp from ddi -- dbi that you may not be complied in regards to federal ada standards. two inspectors were there to talk about the inspection, which provided a great deal of information. now, the inspections and reports, we have had some time with it, seeing about the implications of it, and it is advisable thing to do, but also, if a business does receive a letter, it is a step to help deal with the letter, letting the customer know that you are taking their concerns seriously and taking some steps. and we will be launching on our program soon within the next couple of weeks on our website, getting materials translated and things of that sort. i will be distributing some of the materials and would like your feedback, more from a marketing kind of perspective. today

you ada the whole space? >> just the work you are doing has to comply. the work you are doing always has to comply. if you are bldzing a new restroom the new restroom should be accessible. if necessary under these laws. then it's just that area. the path of travel to the area must comply. the restroom must comply and drinking fountain and phone and everything that relates to the business that relates to that area. you don't have to go to the second floor and do that part. >> [inaudible]. >> right. they are in division 1 and 2, the other sections of the code where it has the details of that. and we can give you copies, anybody needs it. you have my card give me a ring. >> laurence, the building department put together an informational quick sheet guide. it's 11 by 17 and gives a great many examples of clearances through bathrooms, entrances, work spaces is and counters. we have a hand out. this so called quick sheet which provides a lot of that information. >> do we get that here today. >> go to dbi and get it or call me and i will send you a copy. >> cal

. -- with ada. i have legislation in the works that will get the city to explain and of progress reports from the department of building inspection in that we are complying with the state law passed in 2008, that mandates that a sufficient number of building inspectors be trained as " quote-unquote -- as quote- unquote certified inspectors. equal public access to individuals with disabilities, but also litigation that does not advance that goal, so we will be working with others to hopefully have a strong hearing and to bring forward different legislative ideas, as well. also, working with a coalition of pedestrian safety groups, i am requesting a hearing concerning the 2010 report and to discuss pedestrian safety issues with the grass-roots safety organizations, and the goal of the report is to provide comprehensive and baseline assessment of the state of pedestrian safety in san francisco and to begin identifying potential barriers for pedestrians. one suggestion that supervisor avalos brought up,

except there is an ada issue, the ada the americans with disability act is a national umbrella requirement says you need to do things that are readily achievable. that means even if you are not doing work that triggers access under the state law the 119 thousand dollars or anything you are obligated as a business to do anything readily achievable. may be change hardware, nonskid surface on a ramp. put signage up. change the hardware on the sink. if you don't have a full i compliant bathroom you as a business owner should make an effort to make your restaurant or business compliant. there is a conflict between that and the state standard. >> is the new restaurant meaning it's a new owner or m n meaning -- what is a new restaurant? >> the state code and ada doesn't care who owns it. the state code certainly doesn't. if there is an existing restaurant and it's cold and you are not doing work which is always never the case. assume being you don't dpo work there is nothing triggered. if you do finishing or carpet that is a nonstructural repair and maintenance that does not trigger disabled acce

because of ada we now have acoustical standards for schools. i'm not aware of the same argument being made in restaurants. one. saddest experiences i had is when you have a noisy dining facility in a rest home or old aged home. what's sad about those situations is that people are forced to have meal there 3 times a day. we can go to a restaurant have a bad experience and never go there again. these people dine there 3 times a day. i have been told by these facilities that to a great extent these people in the homes the highlight of their day is seeing their friends. talking to their friends at a meal. to the extent they can't carry on a conversation because it's so noisy it can have a profound affect on these people. that is one of the most point iant acoustical aspect for dining i have seen. i had the bad experiences in san francisco where the architect and the developer of the dining facilities didn't think about acoustics. >> sure, please. >> i represents a number of clubs in san francisco that have pretty much close to they were all almost

he will ask about the -- you will ask him about the ada. i have been sued under the ada. i am sure you will not take my opinion for it, but i think every parking spot requires its own successful lot that will take up spaces. i don't understand why you want to enter the residence for 18 spots. you have to build a retaining wall. it seems like an awful waste of time and money to anger some many residents. -- anger so many residents. >> here are the signatures for 90% of baker. over 70%-a 80%, they are documented by who owns the building. what is disturbing me is that they have never told you guys that there is the lawsuit by the engineers' union on this project. it might be six, eight, 10 years. we have a problem here. what disturbs me the most is the fact that for two years, there were secretive, clandestine meetings without the public involvement. they come to us in six weeks beforehand and tell us this is what we are going to do. the eir, they were supposed to mitigate this with shuttle parking from the main parade ground. there is still another lot out there. they are s

i believe the ada itself specifies the requirement of 3 feet. commissioner fung: it is 6 feet for a turnaround. >> here is one copy of that. is it possible with a big suv? my guess is the center line of the sidewalk there is more or less the 3 foot mark. is it possible that an suv would come all the way over to that? i doubt it. i cannot say for sure, commissioner fung, that i have investigated that. but that is an accurate representation of the condition there. commissioner peterson: i have another question going to your settlement discussions regarding the conditional use of the building, something separate from the issue before us. you are saying it was not right to pull out this encroachment permit? i am a little confused. >> what university terrace association represents is the entire strip. we reached a binding settlement agreement, after which they withdrew its opposition to the conditional use. that was the result of many months of negotiation. as part of that, one of the key elements -- the starting point was duty they felt very strongl

is it possible but we'll have to step on ada? >> we're working to. we are working on projects that might come to fruition over the next 15 years. this is a standard provision in city contracts. this is something that is a standard in city contracts. >> to the facility and anything to the surrounding area, i have heard some comments. >> do we have any kind of planned war assessment? -- for assessment. it calls into attention, how do we know. >> when we have the proposed plan, we don't have actual designs or an actual plan. those the produced at the significant expense of the ortega's. those plans are developed after the lease is signed. we cannot expect them to spend $20,000 developing a plan when they don't have a contract in hand. i would say that we are quite familiar in our parks department with working in park locations.

i want to thank ada and cheryl kagan. she is a wonderful state legislator.ach of you. when cheryl has asked about this panel, what would martin do? obviously, it was sort of based on what would jesus do? i realized that question is always answered by what you think you should do. really, who knew what martin would do? he was a great leader, a visionary leader, and i wish we had his vision, but i have to admit, i am telling you what i think should be done. it is hard to say what a leader who was such a visionary would do. my mother would never let any of my brothers and sisters say what my father would do. he said, who are you to say? on harris' idea that each of us should say what we think, i am going to talk about what i think we should do, but i will also talk about what i think we have learned from dr. king. first of all, i learned that you change over time. he was always devoted to nonviolence, but for a period of time, he focused on discrimination. then he got very interested in jobs, work. and then, with great courage, he took on the vietnam war. he lo

and working with small businesses on some of the ada issues they are confronting. a lot of merchants in my district have been targeted recently with ada complaint and lawsuits. that's happening across the city. i think it is incumbent upon the city family, including dbi, to work with our small business community to make sure they are complying and not getting in trouble. i look forward to working with you on these and other issues. thank you. >> thank you. we look forward to working with you also. back to the. >> i just wanted to point out one other thing. when i do the comparison year over year, if we do not have code training in one year because every three years we have a significant code training for significant changes in expenditures, and we budget for those. when you see the comparison year to year, you will not see those last year. you will see them this year. the comparisons are to point out what we have done. it is meaningful to the point that you have the same budget each year to be able to say there's more expenditures. that's part of the meaning of thi

lastly, and ada update -- the city attorney is filing an amicus brief on behalf of francovitch vs. lee. an opportunity fund has created a specific loan program to assist businesses with their 88 improvements. -- ada improvements. i want to make sure the commission has received their calendar for 2011 and you have your dates in, and that you have your march retreat date scheduled. you have that in your calendar as well. the march retreat date is march 31 from 1:00 to 8:00 here at city hall. >> and did you give us a calendar? >> i think it was an e-mail calendar. >> chris, i thought you had sent out a calendar to the commissioners. >> you probably did. i might have missed it. >> i will send a separate e-mail from all of these other things so you have that. >> in the subject field, put in capital letters "calendar." the more idiot-proof you can make it, the better it is. no disrespect to the other commissioners. >> lastly, i want to make a note that commissioners you did receive a communication from and lbe that had trouble receiving some payment. this is more a matter for the comptro

in that situation, there would be an additional reduction of about $330 per ada, per unit of average daily attendance. that would be more than $20 million of additional cuts for scenario b. as is always the case, and maybe now more than in a typical year, there are changes in other assumptions. the pace of revenue collections, expenditure forecasts being updated. even aside from this question about the tax packages being proposed and/or approved, there are other assumptions that will be changing between now and the adoption of the state budget. that could be in either direction. things could get better. things could get worse. that could of easily change the political context. in terms of looking ahead, we want to remind the commissioners and community members of where we were last june. the board passed a budget for the current year, for 2010-11, based on a projection of a $130 million budget deficit over two years. -- $113 million budget deficit over two years. even the scenario -- though scenario a is much better than scenario b, that does not completely bridge the gap between rev

if you dig deeper, it says the city is responsible for allada -- for all ada upgrades. they will also provide a financing plan. seismic upgrades will more than likely be mandated when changing the use to public occupancy. and, nick, it does not say all new boats, it says no new or as new boats. i encourage everybody listening to call in your supervisor to stop this lease from being approved. unless the commission takes the right approach and stops it themselves. there are many errors and this lease and many things overlooked. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please? >> my name as maggie. i am a san francisco resident. at the san francisco commissionaires bureau is in full support of this. the wooden boat house has undergone very few renovation since 1956. that needs a paint job, mold is growing, the building interior has become damaged. insuring this building is adequately restored requires a new lessee. the ortega family has been selected and i am full support of it. >> next speaker, please? >> commissioners, i will use an extra minute. you will be pleased with this. >>
