>> he wanted me off the board. this was to get me off the board. don't know if he ever thought through the consequences that would go beyond my getting off the board. >> well, you said he went to law enforcement. >> well-- >> that takes it another step. >> it does take it another step. and here i am today with an indictment over my head. >> are you saying he's responsible for that? >> well, i don't think i'd be sitting here today if tom had handled this differently. >> we have learned that perkins made several settlement demands on hp: that the company pay his legal fees, that pattie dunn be forced to resign, and that the company not disparage him or jay keyworth. this is what ceo mark hurd said on september 12, 2006, in a news release. he said, "jay keyworth leaves the board with our best wishes and gratitude." here's what i have trouble understanding. everybody says leaks are bad. the leaker is identified, and now there's a settlement with him. >> mm-hmm. go figure. [laughs] >> do you understand this? >> well, at that point, i think that the comp

at the end of 2010 board meeting, at the end of november 2010 board meeting, i presented a new request along with a detailed analysis, according risk stress scenarios, margin requirements price changes securities and as well as potential initial margin calls from the repo counter-parties. these were presented at sovereign levels as well as coordinated levels across all sovereigns and repo counter-parties, an analysis of cbs market and highlighted significant risk given sovereign default risk associated with unresolved issues in europe. during this meeting all the risks were debated. in particular liquidity scenarios were debated and challenged by some members of the board as not being plausible. ultimately the board approved the request conditioned on limits evaluated again in 2011, which is when i left the company. i'd be happy to answer the committee's questions. >> thank you. you're recognized. >> thank you, sir. chairman, ranking member, distinguished members of the subcommittee, thank you for the opportunity to make this brief statement. i am deeply saddened by the bankruptcy of m

i am angela, the clerk of the board. i am joined today by deborah, are administrative deputy of administration and finance, and she has increased our capacity by 1/3%. we're here to present the budget proposal. this committee approved the department guidelines in december, which helped me assemble the budget proposal that is before you. i wanted to thank you for your direction to provide a plan for essential records in storage. already, we have found cost savings by exchanging a managerial position down to an 18-23. we will still be up to provide the level of expertise that will be needed and creation of a viable plan for your consideration. in a moment, miss landers will make a brief budget presentation. if i could have one minute just to indicate -- i am very proud of our department staff and their commitment for being compassionate about meeting the numerous requests that they fulfill, which is the public's right to know, and a day this -- and they do this day in and day out. that is what our department stands for and

it goes to the board of supervisors and ultimately the board of supervisors with six votes that have the power to place the charter amendment on the ballot. as far as the trailing the ordinance -- trailing ordinance, is like any other produced by the mayor, and it will go through the legislative process just like a ordinance. president o'brien: we would not have another opportunity to weigh in on the charter that we probably don't need to any way, right? >> probably not, and what you can do is take a motion to approve with the authorizing staff to continue to work with the mayor's office on the final drafting of this. >> mr. president, with this precise issue in mind, we are not done with this, and i tried to describe in much detail as i am comfortable with, if the commissioners were in client, you could effectively vote to support what i have outlined at to the extent that i will share with the commissioners informally and what i share with them, as described here. >> january 19 is the first date the charter could be heard at the rules committee. is your timeline to have the legisla

i served on boards and the yerba buena cvt and in my neighborhood. i understand how the commissioner on this planning commission affects the quality of life of people like me who live in san francisco, as well as the community. i also understand how land use policy is necessary to deal with the impending ecological disasters. i know ms. wu, of her background. for advocacy on behalf of the committee and for her deep knowledge in all of the important issues. personally, i cannot think of any more qualified person to represent my needs as well as the community needs. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. is there any other public comment on item number three? public comment is now closed. colleagues, is there any discussion? we do currently have a motion. the motion is to approve or reject the president of the board of supervisors nomination of cindy wu. so we do need to make an amendment to that motion . supervisor farrell: i would like to amended to approve ms. wu to the planning commission and send it to the full board. supervisor kim: thank you. we

the board made hold a meeting when there is a vacancy. the board may overrule an action by the department by a vote of three members. go for votes are not required. -- four votes are not required. i am the executive director. we are also joined by representatives of some of the department's who have matters before the board. joseph duffey is the senior building inspector. he is representing the department of building inspection. carlos short is representing the bureau of urban forestry, and john fong thiis representing a district mapping. if you would please go over the guidelines and conduct the swearing in process. >> the board request that you turn off all cellphone and pagers so they will not disturb the proceedings. please carry out conversations in the hallway. appellants, permit holders, and department representatives each have seven minutes to present their cases and three minutes for rebuttals. people must include their comments within that time. members of the public who are not affiliated with the party have up to three minutes

>> madame chair, if the board makes an amendment to the legislation that is approving the dda, the board is setting the level of authority that it is giving the department to enter into the agreement. that agreement still needs to be reached and signed. you are giving advance authority come in a sense. it would then be up to the parties to be able to reach that agreement. commissioner chu: ok. if we make this amendment in negotiations with -- about the dda, if both parties do not come to an agreement on a transfer fee at the second sale, then there is no authority to enter into that agreement. >> that is right. commissioner chu: just a question to mike martin or whoever is adequate to speak to it, will you give us an indication of conversations about this? >> as we discussed during the hearing, we have had many conversations about this. there has not been an expression of agreement to the second sale from our partners at this point. from staff's perspective, i think we would appreciate the opportunity to try to negotiate this approach. obviously, this is in the hands of the committee. co

the board's chairman sells tells us, quote, there are cases where the board legitimately dropped theall. >> the board has limited resources. we have to prioritize. if we find a case that warrants immediate urgent action, we prioritize that and go forward with it. >> reporter: while the cases are reviewed, we found doctors are still treating patients, even when the allegations against them are disturbing. dr. dr. donald roe. in 2004 a patient told the board he was trading oral sex for medication. his license was suspended six years later and later revoked with sexual conduct with that woman and a teenage patient. or look at dr. mark guyer. his first complaint was filed more than four years ago, but it wasn't until last year the board suspended his license for, quote, experimental treatment of autistic children. he referred to the treatments as chemical castration and has since been ordered to cease and desist practicing medicine. what's more frightening is doctors who lose their licenses can in some cases back up and move to another state. >> they are lt!áyable to continue to practice

we explain the board is to help people, but you need for out of five votes.eed these commissioners to side me -- to side with me, and that could be for any person. some people think they can come in and file the appeal and walk away, and not even show up to the hearing, and we will sign it and send them a letter. some people think that is how it works, but when we explain it is more involved than that. other people do not know we suspend dept. boa action. and now they do not want the animosity with their neighbors. all sorts of issues come up, and that is why we enjoy talking with the public. good i would not want now on line of appeal. give we like to talk to the public -- we like to talk to the public and let them know what they are getting into. >> it would be nice if people could reserve their right to appeal by doing something online by saying you do not have to be there a certain date, and indicate to two or three days from that date. >> i understand, but we are probably one of the few departments in the city that actually picks up the phone. try callin

we suggest that should be a board priority. if we look at some of the basic background for sunshine, section d says the right of the citizens to know what their government is doing is fundamental to democracy, and with very few exceptions, that right supersedes any other influence public officials may use to prevent access to information. only in rare and unusual circumstances does the public benefit of allowing government to conduct business in secret -- the should be narrowly defined to prevent public officials from misusing their authority. perhaps it would be cheaper to get rid of trial by jury or elections. but i guess that is what the friends did. it was too expensive to have elections, and they abolished it. thank you very much. >> i am a mother of bayview hunters point. i can see how people feel intimidated to express the reality of what is going on. what i find shocking is the first time i asked anyone on the board of representatives the question of whether there would put the wellness children's program a block away f

they been introduced at the board of supervisors. the legislation before you remains planning commission- initiated, and there is no specific deadline for your review. it does appear likely that the supervisor will introduce his proposed amendments in late february or early march. if the substance is the same as what is before you today, these modifications will not be research acquited -- the recirculated to you or the hpc. this presentation will review the resolutions passed yesterday and will highlight where there are differences between department recommendations and that of the hpc. i will answer any questions you may have about the proposed changes. the proposed change yours --with established the hpc. all references to the landmarks advisory board have been removed. subsequent changes are proposed for a number of specific processes, designation and review of applications, applicability, and economic hardship and fee waivers for certificates of appropriateness. the local interpretation of the secretary of interior standards and

in more detail on the next slide, the board members and the clerk of the board, the assessment appeals board, sunshine, youth commission, advertising, budget and legislative analysis board a ides, and the clerks,. the discretionary spending is administered of support, things that are necessary to run the organization, but not required in any code or in the charter. supervisor chu: can you remind me it the official advertising budget, the $48,000, we had changes in the requirements that were supposed to reduce to reduced costs and advertising? is this reflective of that? remind me where it was and how much we have reduced it? >> essentially what happened is the board change the requirement for the clerk's office to publish in the newspaper, and indicated with a post that information on our website. we are no longer paying for those notices. there are certain notices that still require some noticing in the newspaper, according to state law which we abide by. supervisor chu: what was the value had budgeted in? >> approximately $190,000 the past couple years. down to 48,000 others. supervi

wu to the planning commission and send it to the full board. supervisor kim: thank you. we have a motion to approve the nomination of cindy wu to the planning commission. we can do that without opposition. prior to us finalizing that motion, i want to thank cindy for your service to the community over the past a number of years. in chinatown and the overall city, it has been a pleasure to watch you and the amazing community outreach and planning work you have done two while we work for the same organization, we did not overlap. i did not work with you in that capacity, but i am very excited about you serving our city at this level. it is an incredible amount of work and dedication, so we appreciate your service in advance. supervisor campos: thank you. let me simply note that i am happy to be supportive of the motion, and i was very impressed with ms. wu. the fact that so many people came out and spoke on her behalf illustrates the level of support that she has and respect that she has. i personally was not so sure about the uc berkeley thing. [laughter] but i can deal -

the board has been clear at the outset on where we areo

this is a regular meeting of the board of education of the san francisco unified school district for february 14. it is now called to order. happy valentine's day. roll call, please. [roll call] please join me in the pledge of allegiance. i pledge of allegiance to the flag of the united states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. i apologize for start willing -- starting a little late. we just came out of a closed session meeting, so we're going to move this along real quickly. item a, approval of board minutes of the regular meeting of january 24, 2012. is there a motion? >> so move. >> i second. president yee: any corrections? roll call, please. >> thank you, commissioner. [roll call taken] >> that's five ayes. president yee: item b, presentation to the board of education superintendent's report. >> good evening, everybody, and happy valentine's day. i want to remind the president here that it is valentine's day, so in the spirit of love, this meeting can't go on forever, ok? [laughter] anyway, wha

what is interesting about that is that the board actually did act. the board did act. lo and behold, between december 14 and december 31, two weeks later, there were additional negotiations where additional provisions were added to the agreement. so that extra two weeks did not and the event, did not terminate the city's ability to have that project. the notion that somehow this has to be voted on by next week is a notion that is very recent. it is a very light piece of information that we have given -- that we have been given. i have yet to understand specifically why action would be legally required or otherwise required by that date. what is wrong with the san francisco board of supervisors, which has made it clear that it wants this project, to take a few more days to actually iron out some very complex and important issues? why not take an additional week or an additional few days to really get down to whether or not this issue of the hard cap, whether or not we are comfortable enough with the language that is presently in the dda, whether we should modify the res

. >> good afternoon, board. i am the patient advocates seat of the can of this task force. -- cannabis task force. it was encouraging to see the mayor in attendance of the board meeting. we are hoping to create some dialogue. i write to alert you to an -- an impending health care crisis. hundreds of thousands of disabled americans, who i represent in the patient advocacy seat, are facing a federal block in needed and physician-recommended medical supplies. this embargo is unconstitutional, as well as a backslide with regard to united nations resolve for health care. i asked that our city officials of hold city laws regarding our sanctuary status. our city has two decades of laws on our books in support and project support of safe and legal access to cannabis, evolving from the aids crisis. 16 states have fallen in our footsteps. our city has a medical cannabis task force comprised of legal experts. this major media attention and concern, as this also affects a leading contributor to the general fund. we asked th

other items before the full board -- i think that was the only thing before the full board. there were a few things introduced i would like to share with you. and the first is the ordinance you work on, the restaurant ordinance, which has simplified controls for restaurants. the changes you have and you're hearing were numerous, so what happened is instead of revising that in committee, a full new ordinance that incorporates your modifications has been introduced come and that is currently under the 30-day hold. i should mention supervisor wiener and a lotolgaue for supervisors of that. supervisor kim supervise legislation for [inaudible] . president chu introduces nomination for some thcindy wu. this item will be heard at 1:30 today, along with a nomination for board of appeals. moving on, i have the board of appeals report. they did not meet last night, but the board president has dominatenominated mr. zaoto. both of those nominations in the charter of them it will be heard later on today. that concludes my report unless there are any questions. >> thank you. commissioner

i am here before the board to speak about something. i have nothing to gain financially, or anything, about this. but there is a certain situation, you know, with projects and stuff like that. and i would hope that they did to -- that david chiu, weiner, carmen chu, and malia cohen would work together to provide a condominium so this one individual i know, and there are some other ones -- so that we all can sort of, like, benefit. i think sometimes we talk about rent. they never really get done. i would urge carmen chu maybe -- president chiu: if you could address your comments to the full board. >> i am. i would say i might want to ask nadia, run this by her. she might think it is a good idea. and, you know, i know in district 4, kind of good things for her district. there could be good things done. maybe we can get together in sort of a closed meeting. i am being very serious about this. so that there are condominium ownership for some people, ok? condominium ownership. if you understand me? have i made myself clear? president chiu: t

>> senior management and the board. and the informed and sophisticated business judgments were made based on my department's assessments. >> you may have said this already. you may have said this already. in your report to the board or the management, did you say that this company was being placed at a highly risky situation with the sovereign debt trading that mr. corzine is involved in? >> ma'am, for example, in the august 4 report, it was clearly highlighted, excuse me, in both written and verbal presentation to the board and senior management as an example the increased risk in the marketplace overall from the summer of volatility. number two, widening credit spreads. number three, increasing probabilities of default. number four, lowering liquidity in the marketplace. and importantly, number five, in particular, the increasing stress -- >> so in essence, you felt you did your job? is that right? >> that's correct. >> and there's nothing that you would have done differently? >> ma'am, obviously, let me say with the

approval to the full board. the committee also heard an ordinance introduced by a mayor lee that would introduce the city process for white knight -- lightning's sidewalks. and-- widening sidewalks. the current process is lengthy and involves review by several city agencies, and even action by the board of supervisors. and now that the city has adopted guidance on how to widen sidewalks, it seems appropriate to make it easier to do so. this ordinance would not change or review the process for narrowing sidewalks, only for widening sidewalks that meet city law and are recommended for approval by city agencies. all other changes would go through the current process, and the committee recommended approval of this process for the board. and the india park introduced by supervisor cohen was before the committee. you unanimously approved this last year. it would amend the plan as it extends across third street to allow a multi-use health care service at 53rd street. the legislation would enable a medical clinic up to

we have all the members of our board of supervisors, our current board. we have naomi's .lon, kelly, the kids are here. naomi's mom is here bang today. thank you for being here as well. mrs. lee is here. [laughter] >> yeah. >> of all, today has been a very active day of the just wonderful announcements, of decisions being made that really reflected the values of the city. i have another one that reflects the value of this city, someone that i have spent privileged to work with for so many years, one began her career as a special assistant, worked her way up as the purchaser, director of purchasing. before that, one of the most difficult task, kind of reminds me of my dpw day is, she had a difficult task of being the director of the taxicab administration. [laughter] so she has earned some strides there. going on to director of purchasing and becoming deputy city administrator. most recently, and acting city administrator. and now my nominee for city administrator for the next five years, naomi lelly. -- kellyl. [cheers and applause] ayman >> to first and foremost to thank

a board. i am going to read a quick e- mail i got in the middle of last week's meeting. it is not from a constituent, but a resident. it says "i came across item 40, which would encourage the grammys consideration of additional music genres. i felt such a thrill out realizing homelessness, pot holes, and crime had been resolved. otherwise, i cannot imagine supervisors would waste taxpayer dollars considering it." when i read that and hear that from a constituent, that diminishes us and our capacity at the board of supervisors. in the future, i am not going to make a profession out of this. but i am going to continue in the future to call out the ones i think are embarrassing to our board and make sure we continue to be respected. but i am going to vote in favor of this today. thank you. supervisor kim: i want to request to be added as a co- sponsor for the citizens united resolution. supervisor mar: please add me as well. supervisor campos: colleagues, any other comments? do we need a roll cal

my third request by the board of supervisors is to follow up to the board posey said yuri a., 2012 letterthe president obama pursuant ordinance no. 297-062 more appropriately reflect the circumstances of the -- and make clear that the laws are neither welcome or warranted. please protect and defend the safe access. >> hello, supervisors. we have had an emotional day to day, we have that in the company of giants. you are in a unique position to be giants yourselves. i am here to speak to the protection of medical marijuana. i am a medical marijuana patient myself. have seen the most admirable people of my life working in this field, and specifically, i would like to ask you to pass an ordinance directing the city attorney's office to join the petition to reschedule marijuana. the first county to join the multi-state ever to send a strong signal to the state of california that they should follow san francisco's lead, it is in some ways, the tempo of the world, and i think we all know what that means. a s q to be among the company of cheyenne's that we have been enjoying today, so please pro

we would be happy to respond to the board if it what further information. supervisor chu: since we're going through the items 6 and the and making sure we're covering everything, why don't we go through the items that are on this document and if there are items that have been left out you can address those items. i would say that the high-value mr. rose's opinion is up to this committee to determine whether or not that is the response that has been adequate. it is not to say the budget analyst should tell us, this addresses it and the concern is addressed. it is upon us to say here were the recommendations the budget analysts put forward. to the points that have been recommended, do they speak to those issues? that is a fair question. it is up to this committee to decide whether the responses are what we expect. >> i agree it is up to this committee but in deciding whether or not response their responses are adequate, i certainly think we would all benefit from hearing directly from mr. rose who is the one at his office has spent time looking at the fine pr

we now have some of the great ev concentrations of nationally board ce

to the sfmta board and the board of supervisors that all policy based discounts on the sustainability be less than 100%. as we understand it now, the idea is that for things like affordable housing and units of housing where there are no units attached that there would be no paying into the sustainability. -- the sustainability fee. we are not suggesting a number that it should be scaled down to, but we think it should be something nonzero, because there are obviously some commendable goals for having more housing that is not accompanied by parking. these do generate transit trips, and this is something that has to be paid for, so if we look at the fiscal sustainability of the agency, we think it is important to look at charging something for this, for these developments. also, i have an item pertaining, a recommendation pertaining to item 11 on the agenda today. we have a discussion about the america's cup, and we recommend that the board take measures to ensure that the sfmta budget is protected from unexpected losses related to the 34th america's cup and that the day-to-day service

to me, the board of supervisors number is well reported by the data. what we have seen, the male role number certainly could escalate to the level of the cap proposed historic fleet and has not been that high. and the winner is a well-under the proposed cap. we're looking at an election four years from now and then four years after that. as i supported the last time around, i think 1.75 is more precarious. obviously, we're trying to submit something that meets our goals and would find support at the board. is there procedure for providing a choice? we think 1.75 should be the number, 1.975 would be acceptable. >> not like that, no. you cou staff has recommended and adopted again with the different numbers and send them both. >> is that a serious complication? >> i would prefer you do it that way, because we have lots of numbers, lots of races under our belts. we don't have the kind of data that we need to make a decision. it might be that the next mayoral race with a non- incumbent takes place, it is quite a distance down the road. the last time we had

and the college board. on the rest of the legislation, starting on page 3 of the legislation, i certainly support the 10,000 contributors and would not necessarily leave this at -70, and this is the deadline for filing the nomination papers. this would give somewhat more time but this depends on the filing deadline. >> did you say more time -- which way? >> the idea is that if the deadline is e -88, someone can file until the end of august, the e-70 deadline to get sufficient, qualified contributions from this number of contributors may be as short as 18 days if they file at the last minute. and there have been instances of that recently. my thought was that if the filing deadline remains this way, giving this to 60 or 28 days to gather significant contributions for the number in value would offer more level playing field to the extent that the deadline is moved back by 58 days and this will change up the whole thing. >> i think he is still using this any way. a question for you. >> i have some other things

were they passed along to the board? >> actually, it was during a presentation, both verbally and written. >> okay. repo transactions are usually with highly liquid assets as ka ka lat tral and bought the sovereign debt and financing about using the debt itself as the collateral. it was european debt. the whole world was holding their stomach about whether there would be a default of european debt. it appears that the reason that these trans transactions held out the possibility of a substantial profit, it was a bet against the market. the sovereign debt was beat down because the world was worried, the markets were worried about whether there would be default. it was 100% financing. there wasn't money to make the margin call. you knew the margin call was a possibility. what red flags and at the same time corzine and others have said, there's no problem here. there is no problem here. you said earlier that you did read -- corzine's statement was a public statement and you knew about it. to whom did you say, whoa. no. we h
