alioto-pier supervisor alioto- pier: of a comet ok -- supervisor alioto-pier: ok, next speaker please i'm also a parent of a 3- year-old attending children's village right now. the school has been great for him and for many others. the point i just wanted to stress is that the city really has an investment in the school, and child care is a critical resource for san francisco, and i think this measure does a nice balance of striking it -- a nice job of striking a balance between the needs of developers, which are legitimate, and the needs of parents and kids. certainly not to say that development should not go on, but when it does, the different communities affected by ought to have a voice in the process. thanks for considering it, and i hope you will support it. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have been working with the children's

supervisor alioto-pier: 62. >> any other items? we will take care roll-call on items 58 through 72 except for item 72. [calling votes] >> there are 11 ayes. >> the item is urging full pardon and allowing him to remain in the united states and continue serving. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. and my main issue with this is a full pardon. if san francisco is backing of for all pardon, i would like to have an understanding -- backing of full pardon, i would like to understand what this is. in 1986, he put a lot of people through a very traumatic and violent act, so i would like to have a better understanding of what we are doing, because i do not want people to be saying his acts should be ignored. >> to the question raised by supervisor all year to appear, he is somebody known -- to supervisor alioto-pier, he is a bunny known to the community and has set an example for young people. he -- he is now well known to the community and has set an example for young people. he served for 19 years within the department of corrections. afte

supervisor campos: supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. perhaps before we begin, we should state this for the record. i think you're right. i don't think that the general public has an understanding of how is works or plays and who is on the dccc. it is important to note that we have a number of members of the board of supervisors who currently sit on the dccc and the board of supervisors. supervisor campos has mentioned himself. supervisor mar and supervisor avalos was just elected. supervisor david chiu, supervisor daly just got off of the dccc. former supervisors peskinin and mcgoldrick were on it, but that would still be ok under this. >> he is not longer on it. >> there are others who may become members of the board. supervisor alioto-pier: that is true. and as a member of the board of supervisors, when we run for office, it's interesting. what i think has happened is that we have seen a lot of candidates running for supervisor run for dccc, too. they're recall for it and set up their account. they'll set up their website. in some cas

supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. >> there are 11 ayes. president chiu: the resolutions are adopted. for items 13, 14, they regard the budget. there are still consultations on going. supervisor avalos, i understand there are conversations that have not been completed yet. should we postpone those to a later meeting? supervisor avalos: you took the words right out of my mouth. president chiu: without objection, we will continue this item to a later portion of this meeting. >> item 15 is an ordinance adopting and implementing a memorandum of understanding that the firefighters local 798, unit 2. supervisor campos: let me ask clarifying question. the understanding is that this is one of the items that included the language that carved out a provision in the event that a charter amendment was made, i wanted to get that clarification. i don't know if it is the mayor's office. president chiu: can you confirm which of the various mlu's has the provision that supervisor campos is referring to? >> the language that you are referring to is recorded

supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. good morning. as you know, we had a long and informational hearing on laura's law. it is a state law that was passed in 2002 that allows counties to establish assisted outpatient treatment programs for severely mentally ill individuals. i'm coming back to this committee today with a resolution to authorize the implementation of assisted outpatient treatment in the city and county of san francisco. the resolution will allow us to begin the necessary steps in coordination with city departments and the court to allow for a system outpatient treatment to the most seriously mentally ill who are unable or unwilling to accept treatment. first, i would like to thank supervisor avalos and the budget committee for restoring mental health funding. state law requires counties that implement lauras lot to fully fund a voluntary services. my hope is we can adopt this resolution along with the budget to improve -- or parts of the budget to improve the outcome for mentally ill individuals and reduce costs related

supervisor alioto-pier? supervisor alioto-pier: thank you, supervisor chiu. if i could ask upp doug. the anniversary of the americans with disabilities act, i want to commend the two organizations to do so much for people living with disabilities, the independent resource center and disabled usa. let me begin with the independent resource center of san francisco. it is a disability rights advocacy and support organization. our mission is to ensure that people disabilities are social and economic partners within their families and within a fully accessible community. ilrcsf mission is achieved by system change, community education, a partnership businesses, community organizations and government, and consumer-direct services. we work to empower individuals and communities of the people disabilities have a full, productive, and independent life. i would like to thank mr. levine, who, unfortunately, had to leave, but i want to thank him. now, we have doug with us. this was founded in 1967. disabled sports usa is dedicated to provide an environment with positive

supervisor mar: item 3 is also called by supervisor alioto-per. is there someone from her office -- supervisor alioto-pier. is there someone from her office? no one is here from the office. let me just say that this is a motion that direct the budget and when it -- and legislative analyst's office to audit the department of children, youth, and their families. is there someone from the budget and legislative analyst's office? thank you, ms. newman. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm here to discuss this motion. however, i would note that we have had discussions with supervisor alioto-pier's office, regarding this audit, and we had prepared with them if an amendment that is to my understanding they were going to approve this morning to narrow the focus of that audit, to not do really an audit of dcyf, but rather to revise it to a direct and more interdepartmental audit of the cd's program to provide early childhood care and education services. i do have one version of what i understood they were going to be presenting this morning. i could go over t

supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. >> there are 9 ayes and two no's. item 24 is a charter amendment second draft authorize non- citizens voting in school board elections. supervisor chu: colleagues, as you know, this is an item that is very important to many san franciscans. 1 out of 3 parents is an immigrant. most of the students we are talking about our citizens themselves whose parents do not have a voice or a vote on the most important decision that dictate the government's -- governance of our schools. study after study has shown that when parents are engaged in the governments of their children, it improves the quality of their education and improve their schools. unless anyone thinks this is a first time, this is an idea that had tremendous roots in our american history. for a hundred and 50 years, immigrants were allowed to vote in 22 states and territories in the united states. until the late 1920's, immigrant could vote. a idea of allowing them to vote was to encourage newcomers to get

supervisor alioto-pier? supervisor alioto-pier: thank you for singe -- your support. i am sitting in for supervisor dufty. unfortunately, he had to go to a funeral today. i wanted to thank him for that publicly. i also want to thank the wilcox es for being here today. i do not even want to begin to imagine how difficult going to hearings like this must be. i think it is truly a gift that you are giving us. i want to thank you for that. supervisor chu: if we could do roll call on the motion. >> on the motion to recommend the item to the full board as amended. supervisor avalos? no. supervisor alioto-pier? aye. supervisor chu? aye. the motion passes. that completes the agenda. supervisor chu: we are adjourned. ♪ >> this is a dpw corporation yard. i work for the bureau of street environmental services used to be street cleaning. we are a new age. >> here we are. >> here we are. >> clean. >> these are our communications dispatchers. hi. okay, no problem. you are welcome. bye-bye. >> all the information about the location, the nature of the complaint and we dispatch it. >>

supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. next speaker please. >> good morning. my name is roberta english. i am a member of the california board of directors, and i was here last hearing, and i stated then that california has always supported the concept and the implementation of laura's law, and our intention and hope is that it will be in every county in california sooner than later because each day that passes means perhaps a life is lost. we work together to see the county -- the county's implement this. it is really your job, your opportunity to create this historic moment in the next coming days where laura's law can be implemented here in san francisco, and i am very much trusting in all of the work you have done. the materials have been given to you, and i know you have reviewed it carefully and have the best of intentions, but i do want to say because i am the mother of someone with a mental illness -- some years ago, -- this is the city of my birth, by the way. i think that how many times i walked the streets and r

supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. i want to say, you know, through supervisor mirkarimi, no one will argue what was going on. here i am, my neighborhood is toney and affluent. that does not seem overindulgent. we all have our violent times. i had a 23-year-old shot down point blank at the marina. we have had 3 violent attacks against women. 3 of them at 10:00 with 30 minutes, all within walking distance to our own beat cops. the idea my district should not deserve a beat cop, those are not the kind of conversations that should be taking place. granted, what happened in the western edition was awful. it should have been dealt with by the police department. they did not need to take resources out of other communities, but it is their job to shift them around. there is a big difference between san francisco and the legislation in front of us. the only point i am trying to make is something that in my opinion could easily get through the board of supervisors. i don't think there would be a big problem trying to pass a foo

supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: i have some comments. clearly you are well-loved.[laughter] we obviously see all of the appointments that the mayor sends to us and in my opuinion they are good, but i don't usually get excited about anybod. -- anybody. when we got your application, i thought not only are we lucky to have someone so qualified, but we have a mediator. i thought, how appropriate, and what a fabulous appointment. sio i am here today to support you. i wish you well. it is an interesting time out there right now for the police commission. chicago just passed a remarkable gun measure that got tossed out by the supreme court, and we have a lot of opportunities in front of us right now. it would be interesting to here. as police commissioner, you have tailored responsibility, but board members are always looking for ideas, and your experience in your personal and professional life -- and the fact you sat on the ethics commission was also interesting. i would be interseted to hear what you see on the ethics commission today as opposed to back then, but i woul

to my right is the committee vice chair, supervisor alioto- pier, to my right is supervisor mar. we have been board -- joined by the board president. staffing and covering the meeting are charles [unintelligible] and bill dillman. are there any announcements, madam clerk? >> please turn off all cell phone devices. please provide a speaker card if you wish to speak. if you are submitting documents, please provide documents for -- copies for the committee. supervisor campos: thank you. we're going to start with item no. 2. >> item #2, charter amendment (first draft) to amend the charter of the cityfrancisco by amending section 16.23-10, to extend thepublic education enrichment fund 2016; amending sections 16.123-2 and 16.123-8, to make conforming changes; 16.123-3, to use any surplus returned from the library preservation fund baseline to disbursements under the pubic education enrichment library programs; amending section 16.123-5, to allow the to pay college tuition and fees for students attending city amending section 16.123-6, to authorize the youth plans submitted by the schoo

chairman campos: alioto-pier? supervisor elsbernd: thank you very much, supervisor campos, through the chair, supervisor mirkarimi and for other conversations on this, this morning, i just -- you know i have just two questions, concerns, that i'd like to have addressed that perhaps we can discuss. one, reading this ballot measure i'm not exactly clear why it's a ballot measure. this is the type of thing that could go through the board of supervisor that we would not necessarily need to send to the voters. so i'm curious why we would be doing that. and then the second one is, you know, if we could have a

supervisor chu: did you want to add anything, supervisor alioto- pier? supervisor alioto-pier: i will wait until public comments. >> i was interested in listening to the various comments. i think there are some important points to make. we recognize there is a broad range of mental illness. we support the concept that a broad spectrum of services need to be offered. we further feel that involuntary treatment would be the preferred model. nonetheless, there is a small number of people who are a danger to themselves and others who would need this kind of court ordered outpatient treatment. there is the need for that. to me, the data is so overwhelming and astonishing in terms of the effectiveness of this as a tool. it is another tool. you have heard the data about intra- -- kendra's law. nevada and los angeles county have implemented it. lar was killed nine years ago. nick and i miss her every single day. the mentally ill person who killed laura was found not guilty by reason of insanity. we agreed with the verdict. he was sentenced to napa state hospital.

president chiu: supervisor michela alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: one thing. my understanding is that the department is taking a no position on it but one thing to clarify is that right now, the way it works in california is that -- and this is the same as someone who is incarcerated and locked up and they believe they need help and please, if i'm wrong, jump in. you go before a judge in what's called a reef hearing. you sort of show your case and go before this judicial process before anyone goes through taking any type of medication. with laura's law, you would still have the same thresholds to meet. you would still be a person with a lack of history or compliance for treatment of mental illness, serious violent behavior within the last 48 hours or required hospitalization twice in the last 36 months. i think we all remember, for example, the young woman who a few years ago threw her three children off of the bridge down on the pier. well, she had been -- she had been brought into mental -- she had been gone through this process, she'd been in the jail five

chairman campos: alioto-pier? supervisor elsbernd: thank you very much, supervisor campos, through the chair, supervisor mirkarimi and for other conversations on this, this morning, i just -- you know i have just two questions, concerns, that i'd like to have addressed that perhaps we can discuss. one, reading this ballot measure i'm not exactly clear why it's a ballot measure. this is the type of thing that could go through the board of supervisor that we would not necessarily need to send to the voters. so i'm curious why we would be doing that. and then the second one is, you know, if we could have a classes. we're not going to get to police classes without more money. and so i do think that that is a very relevant topic of conversation just because we have historically cut money from the police department, not pumping them up in order to do the foot beats so it steams me like that needs to be a component of anything we look at regarding foot patrol. chairman campos: supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi:

supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. >> there are 11 ayes.nt chiu: this resolution is adopted. items 55 and 56. >> items 55 through 57 were considered. items 55 and 56 were not forwarded to the board. would you like me to read item 57? items 55 and 56 were not forwarded. president chiu: item 57, please. >> to authorize split appointments to the municipal transportation agency board of directors by the mayor and the board of supervisors. president chiu: i understand this will be continued to later in the meeting, without objection. rollcall vote, please. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor daly: no. supervisor dufty: aye. supervisor elsbernd: no. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor maxwell: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. >> there are 9 ayes and 2 no's. president chiu: these items will be continued until later in the meeting. we can now to roll call for introduction. >> i understand you would like to go first, president? president chiu: i am interesting -

supervisor alioto-pier: no, thank you. colleagues, if i may open it up for public comment period, not -- public comment. come on up, and let me read some cards as well. >> thank you. director of the child care facilities fund with the low- income investment fund. i first wanted to acknowledge and thank supervisor alioto- pier for your leadership in putting forth this resolution. i think it is a lot of time in coming. over the last decade in which we plan for child-care facilities, what we need to be mindful of is as we are planning and thoughtfully planning in the city, thinking about planning for child care is critical. i think folks need to understand the fact that is not what you just read. has to be was sensible. some of the biggest factors we deal with oftentimes is the lack of adequate outdoor space. we know neighborhoods in our cities that do not have the 75 square feet per child in order to get licensed, meaning it is licenseda -- licenseable space. the need to be able charge affordable rates to parents working in

supervisor alioto-pier? supervisor alioto-pier: this would be a full pardon, nonetheless, and i wanted to do due diligence, and i would be happy to support this. president chiu: supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor mirkarimi: i have participated and watched eddy, as well as many others, part of the city family in non-profit family, etc. his contribution is invaluable, and i am really pleased to see the way we are rallying around. i think it is an important message for governor schwarzenegger in the state to understand just how important this case is. -- and the state. president chiu: i think all of the co-sponsors for supporting that. particularly a chance that he does not get deported. actually, if we could take a roll-call vote? madam clerk: [reading roll] there are 11 ayes. president chiu: this item is adopted. next item. madam clerk: the draft environmental impact report for a minimum of 90 days. president chiu: supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you. i introduced this because we have a very controv
