&do we have anyone from treasue island citizens advisory board if not, why don't we begin with mr. heid, forqÑp seat numr -- supervisor mar:+5 i did recee a communication that one of the three applicants is o?r surgery. what is the typical practice when an individual is unable to come? q/doh, you were able to make it. ok, great. supervisor alioto-pier:f5 grea, we do not have to worry about it. >> good morning, supervisors. v this commission based on myd knowledge of the treasure island project. just as a brief backgroundbo i am a planner and urban designer with three years of experience. 's in real estate and finance. i have beenív involved in the sustainable community %ei through the urban institute, where i have written a number of publications for them, lead theirh5ñ workshops and training, and speak frequently at their industry conference on the complex challengesqúm that go wh implementing sustainable community. i currently work as1 and strategist for sustainable development for real estate wcompanies, devt agencies, and if the capital markets, so i'm very interested in the s

this is a voluntary advisory committee, so i can't actually force any other department to come. we have had several departments that have continuous attendance. the fire department always comes. we have representatives now with the m.t.a. that mostly comes to every meeting and we also have some health department official that are coming to the meeting. so we are getting better attendance from other departments. we would like to increase the departments to include all the plan checking departments. but sometimes it's just not within their schedules to attend. but we do have representatives of industry. and any public member is able to come to these meetings. we have an agenda. and we also request that if someone wants to talk about an item on the agenda, that they let us know and we try to put that item on the agenda. president murphy: i think that last sentence that you said there, the customers, the people that are writing the checks, they need to be heard. this is a very important committee. it's not something that started last week or last month. it's been around since direct

but beyond that, this is a policy that i think we could discuss it at this public advisory committee. and work out the kinks. because there are concerns of people for this information. it's very, very important information. i just request that the public advisory committee just work a little bit more closely on these things, with the director and the staff who have been great. thank you very much. president murphy: thank you. next speaker, please. three minutes. >> commissioners, my name is john. i'm a small property owner in san francisco. and i'm a member of that group as well. director day, my question has to do with address assignments. in the past i used to be able to get a clerk who would be able to do this. now all address assignments have to be routed to the director for approval. and my question is, is in a policy you're going to continue within the department or is it going to be able to be something that can go back to a clerk in order to accomplish this? that's a question i raise because when i came in earlier with this on my mind because of the amount of time that it took

i think once they -- advisory council. wuns they've participated -- once they've participated they want to take on more responsibility. you can get the information on the website, could you give that information for the listeners at home. >> that's pacsf.org. president kim: commissioner maufas. maup thank you. -- commissioner maufas: i am the commissioner that was the founding member of the p.a.c. and have been happy to serve in this capacity and serve as a board member, it's an amazing way to further any work and volunteering that you do really to serve the public schools of san francisco. and i know that the applications are available in english, chinese and spanish. and that's important too. i'm really happy you all came forward and continue to recruit, recruit, recruit. we need the best of all our parents represented. thank you again. >> i want to -- it's a little bit out of order but it's partly in response to what you said, the ad hoc committee on student assignment will be meeting tomorrow evening. our regular meeti

>> in the future i think what i will do at the public advisory committee is ask the city attorney to attend. because some of these policy changes that people or the commission or public advisory committee think are policy changes are not policy changes. they are state laws that have been ignored by the city of san francisco that we need to impleme implement, such as the request to have an architect sign for the release of his plans for copying. anybody can view plans. that is under the sunshine ordinance. anybody can view anything is a public record. i cannot legally copy plans unless i have a release from the owner of the property and architect. that is state law. i don't have anything to do with that. that is not a san francisco policy. that is state law. it was not implemented in the san francisco -- or in san francisco. and on the advice -- not on the advice of city attorney but on the process or on the threat of a lawsuit we had to go back and examine state law and examine san francisco's policies. and, yes, we had to change procedures to meet state law. i tphknow that upsets a

that is on the access appeal commission code advisory committee and board of examiner. we took the opportunity to speak with some members to see how things were going on the respective bodies. they reported that things are going well and they are working closely with d.b.i. staff, which is a good thing. the code advisory committee was probably the busiest body among the three as they reviewed the changes to our codes that occurred this past year or so and the legislative proposals that came before us. we did discuss with the code advisory committee about supplying us with more background material when they make recommendations to us so we can better understand how they arrive at their decisions and perhaps it could help us understand the process with participants and what they discussed at the meetings. then i was reminded that we are all welcome to attend those meetings. so you are free to do so. we were to review the status of the appointments to those three bodies and we decided that appointing members to the code advisory committee is the most urgent task at this po

november 10 we have another advisory committee meetinging. that's the time when the 95 version would be rufede and the 95% version is the one they review in october. additional information and responding to their guidance, and at that time we will start laying out the action plan in terms of steps that need to be taken over time. november 15, we expect to finish the task two report. and then december. we have an advisory committee december 28, that's when we expect the final review of the task four report and plan for the seismic safety and gives us the last week of the month take comments into account at that time and come up with a final resix. -- revision. not showing on here but important to the process is the review by the d.b.i. staff. and that goes on in real time and real version. i didn't want you to think it's being ignored. but it's not, because it's an insight as to how the city really works that's important to us. >> so president murphy, i thank you wand that i submit my report. >> thank you. mr. to be snn questions? commission c

in october, we contacted each advisory body complete with all of to obtain the necessary information. are not capable of responding. some just to not respond. which then leads us to publish an outdated list every december. the second issue is that during the year we are not always informed about the vacancies when they arise, which also leads to inconsistent information on our website regarding our vacancies. should this ordinance passed, heat advisory body would be required to post on their website and the city's website their vacancy information. there would still be required to provide the clerk with their vacancy information, so we can accurately prepare the list at the end of the year and put out a vacancy notice during the year. i think this ordinance provides an opportunity for more timely and accurate information to the public and perhaps for more local appointments list from our office. public policy is good. ideally, this ordinance would help remind the departments, boards, commissions, about the responsibility to lead an attack -- identify who is responsible for posting the

update on issues and concerns discussed at the public advisory committee meetings. director day: yes. commissioners, again, we try to have a monthly public advisory committee meeting in some cases it conflict with other scheduled meetings, so sometimes i have to cancel them and defer them to another time. try to reschedule them during the same month if i can. if i can't, then it's deferred until the next month. but at these meetings we discuss various policy procedures or procedures that are happening within the department. we try do have -- to have representatives of other departments, plan checking departments there if they wish to come. it's not mandatory to come. this is a voluntary advisory committee, so i can't actually force any other department to come. we have had several departments that have continuous attendance. the fire department always comes. we have representatives now with the m.t.a. that mostly comes to every meeting and we also have some health department official that are coming to the meeting. so we are getting better attendance from other depa

i am also on the advisory council, the advisory council to the department of aging, and i work 13 years in self-help for the elderly in chinatown and 13 years in the tenderloin, and that is where my experience with immigrants was initiated. i'm still active with many groups, and language access, which is part of immigrants' rights, is a very important issue to seniors as well as other immigrants, and i have been pleased that the language access ordinance was revised and extended and, hopefully, we will have some additional languages this year after census data gets in. seniors often have difficulty learning english, and even those who learn it sometimes prefer to speak their original language, and not continue to speak english, so i think it is very important that we keep doing that. i began to discover the extent of immigrants during the fast pass their increase, and i was one of the people who went around the senior mills said, and i go to senior mills said its regularly, and if they are not just one group regularly -- i was one of the people who went around the senior meal sites. you

should this ordinance passed, heat advisory body would be required to post on their website and the city's website their vacancy information. there would still be required to provide the clerk with their vacancy information, so we can accurately prepare the list at the end of the year and put out a vacancy notice during the year. i think this ordinance provides an opportunity for more timely and accurate information to the public and perhaps for more local appointments list from our office. public policy is good. ideally, this ordinance would help remind the departments, boards, commissions, about the responsibility to lead an attack -- identify who is responsible for posting these updates, whether it is their website, the city website, and who will be our contact. to achieve this protocols have to be established that the advisory body has to keep the permission up-to-date and coordinate with our office. also, president shoot, we had a -- chu, we had a conversation about centralizing the information. we are stepping in the right direction, but i encourage additional dialogue to occur aroun

many people have been on our structural advisory panel. i think that they all generally agree with what we've done in terms of the process has followed a typical model for review. in all cases, the compliance with the code and the performance of the building rests with the design engineer of record, not with the city. we take this extremely seriously. this is for the reason that we convene. we have done this in this case. we are able to benefit from the additional structural engineers. the altman responsibility rests with the engineer of record. the ultimate responsibility for making decisions rests with the director of the department of building inspections. as this project moves forward, the director reviewed this material made the determination that the materials were in fact acceptable. the other thing i wanted to mention are the technical issues and i am not an engineer, i am the deputy director. if someone comes forward in any project and they say that we have a problem, there is something wrong, we will look into that. we are not pr
