supervisor avalos can speak to that >> the mapping project is a community effort. it's participatory action research where community members do their own work and so language there that honors the work that community residents have done to assess the conditions that they live in. that she worked on [inaudible] linking google buses in proximity to places where [inaudible] are having. there are critical part of what we've done to promote [inaudible] policies and they weighed in on issues on placing and people of color and that with this language comes from. >> thank you. >> well, i just want to first point out there's a lot in common that we are really kind of nailbiting over i think some details. but i'm glad to see is that this board is united on further resolve in terms of what we as a body would like to see what this nation would do around an issue that i think that we all agree exists, police brutality and police violence. i was really stunned that month ago when i learned that actually there's no nationwide database for individuals killed by police officers. in

thank you. >> supervisor avalos, planning department. currently wireless carriers would work with pg&e if they wanted to locate on their assets, which are wooden pole street lights for pg&e or (inaudible) that's usually what carriers go to now and goes through the public works process. >> so the majority of carriers are on these other poles, the pg&e poles. >> for example, sprint doesn't have sites on wooden poles but other carriers do. the small cells being proposed today are not intended to supplant the need by the carriers for macro sites that you see before the board, this is to fill in gaps in data capacity. you wouldn't expect to see this somehow sup plant the need for roof top sites in ue bic quit throughout the city. >> in fact if we're not approving these they are not going to go on the pg&e poles because the pg&e poles are in areas where there are gaps in what they want to transmit from. >> generally what we see is the carriers will go to pg&e poles where there aren't as many large rooftops to go on. it is the path of least res

so all be supportive of the supervisors avalos's original motion with appreciation for the amendments but i'll still be supportive. i think supervisors kim's suggestion to compromise by still mentioning alex -- is a good one and i be supportive of that if the original motion doesn't go forward in supervisor:'s moments are successful. to me the most important things are the result as others have said and putting this on record in support of the ferguson action. the ferguson action movement statements and the structural changes that are proposed in them to me are the most important things. i know that the heart that went into the drafting of this from germany and pollock two supervisor although wilson's office, and the community efforts to get the language the strong as possible is something him and said supportive >> supervisor autos >> thing. i like to start moving on voting for amendments and probably will have some process questions. i have an amendment as a whole. i believe that supervisor: amendments are religious amendment of the hole that i have here today. so, i believe that th

notice i have learned a lot since the ferguson actions several weeks ago, joining supervisor avalos in the [inaudible] protests and being part of asians for black lives as a solitary and i like. i feel that resolutions like this, that are symbolic are important but our actions that we do in personal lives our political lives and building organizations and those movements is even more important. want to really appreciate supervisor's come in and read for sharing so much of themselves and giving input into this. i was a big part of this process from the beginning and i know that is a process that we all have to go forward in the future. it's an awkward decision because i'm hearing from growing movements and learn every day by being active in them we are to follow the lead of young people with her was on saturday with the millions much more with other actions or follow read of african-americans but i'm still going to be supportive of the original motion supervisor autos has brought in a really appreciate the comments and the insights and the wisdom that have spoken from the community. ide

supervisor avalos. >> mr. rose, i'm more of a bowler than a golfer but aren't you laying it on kind of thick? >> i'm sorry. >> your report sounds a little bit heavy-handed against the pga tour lease. just my -- i actually find you to be very objective in your approach and i would like to think that you would say you're being objective now. >> i am absolutely 100 -- i always am objective and will continue to be objective. without question. >> i'm not questioning your objectivity. i'm just concerned that you -- what's the overall take on the golf on a yearly basis, the golf was underfunded? did you express that this your report? >> yes, what i stated wasu supervisor avalos, that if you take all the golf courses combined according to rpd they have an estimated projected deficit of about $5 million dollars, close to $5 million dollars in fiscal year 14-15, which includes, supervisor, a projected deficit just for harding park of 2.4 million. >> so one thing i notice in your report you mentioned that the percentage

supervisor avalos. >> thank you, jeff. i want to probably do something that is more like threading a needle between our recommendation and the one that has been worked out with united players and supervisor kim's office and the office of economic work force development or mayor's office of community development. i'd like to first of all we could accept the clauses, the amendment that came from supervisor kim, that the city has no liability for the loan between united players and mr. john hammond and i believe that's the first recommendation that comes from mr. rose as well so there's complete alignment on that one. the second resolve clause, do i need to read that into the record if it was already -- it's the one i would like to move forward -- thank you -- i would like to move forward from supervisor jane kim's office. the second part of the amendment from mr. rose i think there's some language in there that still is important to keep in and deputy city attorney john gifford can give you a hand with that. i think it makes
