but we're now here at this committee and i'll be supporting the campos amendments as proposed by supervisor avalos to move forward the strongest possible ballot measures for november to make it a historic november 2014 children's ballot. i also wanted to say that the rally that many of the community-based groups, parents and youth lead today is the kind of energy and the unity that we need to win this in november and to keep moving forward and expanding the needs of our working class and diverse communities. and on the issues of the oversight committee, i guess i wish it were a commission because i feel there needs to be a commission that oversees dcyf. i think the compromises mean by this it's going to achieve the same goal to work with maria and her staff to help neighborhoods guide how we fund children and families. i'll also say that i think moving up to 4 cents from 3 cents is a big improvement, but i sure wish it was 5 cents. and i know that pauline showed if we could have passed something at 5 cents. so, i'm willing to accept this 4 cents. (applause) >> but i will just urge people to keep,

. ~ also i wanted to introduce a resolution today supported by supervisors john avalos and david campos. it's to find a balance between our city's transportation needs and the safety of drivers, passengers and pedestrians. it's addressing the issue of the rapid increase in the uber lift type vehicleses or transportation companies. the tragic new year's eve killing of six-year old sophia lu but an uber driver and the injuries of her mother and brother is something that is still fresh in our minds. ~ by the incident raised a number of questions about uber and lift type companies also known as transportation network companies or tncs. i believe the term was coined by our public utilities commission a few months ago. i'll have to get used to tncs as the term. but these new types of companies that are providing popular transportation services, i use them once in a while as well, are operating in what i would call a wild west of unchecked industry without any controls and regulations where efforts to protect public safety and consumer safety. also as we've seen from a budget analyst report, [

right john gibner, deputy city attorney you're voting on the amendment that supervisor avalos or supervisor campos is proposing today. and if you make that amendment you'll have basically a new version of the charter academy that optional applies to the board and the mayor's office to supervisor avalos suggested and have to continue the item to another committee meeting and if i may my understanding we're basically voting on african-american the charter amendment proposal and with the understanding be that you'll have an opportunity to vote yes or no depending on our view on the issue when we come back at the next committee meeting >> okay. so there's been a motion to amend supervisor avalos legislation. is there a second >> second do you want a roll call. >> on that motion for the amendment. >> supervisor campos. supervisor tang. supervisor yee. mr. chair there are 3 i's >> so with the amendment versions we'll continue this item to another rules committee hopefully next week we'll figure out that one. >> do you know what days you'll have the rules committee. >> the next two rules committee on jun

campos. >> that was a motion. i made a motion to send back. >> oh, i'm sorry. supervisor avalos has made a motion to send these back to committee. is there a second to that? seconded by supervisor campos. supervisor campos. >> thank you. i do want to begin by noting that i do serve on the rules committee and i was not present at the meeting. i had a long-time previously scheduled appointment where i was flying to chicago on behalf of hotel workers from two local hotels and we were -- i was leading a delegation of worker to meet with shareholders that own these two hotels that have taken pretty harsh anti-worker stances. and, so, i couldn't be at the meeting because of that. we did try to get a replacement. we couldn't do that. ~ in the end. i do want to thank the committee and my fellow committee members for the work that they did and i know that the chair of the committee and his staff, they run a pretty tight ship and they want to move quickly on all of these things and i really appreciate that. i do believe, though, that there are larger issues, which is why i'm supporting th

campos. >> thank you. i want to respectfully disagree with what president chiu said and thank supervisor avalos for talking about what actually happened. we a number of us made it very clear that what happened was a mistake. and it was a mistake because it was basically setting a really bad precedent and president chiu you and i have a different prospective because the idea that a mayor can hold a budget hostage in return for the board giving you it's right and responsibility to put a charter amendment on the ballot is simply wrong we would allow a mayor hold us hostage and basically play with this game that show you the only way to get add backs forces the people we represent is for the board to give up it's right and responsibility to reform mini we said this was a meaning. it was a meaning and it's been proven to be a mistake because what happened is the rochlz we proposed for mini that would create a separate independent body that actually lawed the ridership to say how mini is governed because right now everything has to go through a board that is only appointed by mayor and we also have language that

avalos. supervisor campos. >> thank you, madam clerk. i want to speak about two item. the first one i do want to add my voice in supporting the charter amendment that has been introduced by supervisor avalos. in the last few months i've had a number of constituents and residents of the eastern half of san francisco who have asked me questions about, you know, what happens when there are vacancies, including vacancies on those board of supervisors and consistent with the statements that i have made, i believe that it makes sense that when there is such a vacancy on this board or any other office, that it is up to -- should be up to the electorate to the voters of san francisco to decide who fills oyez vacancies. in the past we have seen a power struggle between the board of supervisors and the mayor which is one of the reasons i really appreciate the way that supervisor avalos has approached this because instead of actually trying to engage a power struggle or a tug of war between the board and the mayor, i think that this takes it out of that and brings it back to the v
