board staff or after the break or meeting or call the board office tomorrow morning. the board office is located. this is tell cast live on sfgtv and dvd's are available for purchase directly from sf gov tv. >> please note that any member of the public may speak without taking this oath pursuant to the sunshine ordinance in the administrative code. thank you. >> do you solemnly swear or affirm the testimony that you will give is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth? >> thank you, mr. pacheco. moving for public comment that is not on the agenda tonight circulate anyone who would like to speak under general public comment? >> seeing none we'll move to item no. 2 which is commissioners comments and questions. seeing none, we'll move to item no. 3 which is the adoption of the board meeting minute for may 15, 2013. >> i will move their adoption. >> thank you, is there any public comment on the minutes? >> seeing none, mr. pacheco can you call the roll please? >> on the motion to adopt the may 13, 2013 minutes. commissioner fong, hurtado, lazarus, thoughts -

one for this board to decide. we believe that it would be effective at the point where all conditions were met which is adoption of the m-o-u and their position of the other side is that essentially the legislative act, whether there was ever any m-o-u to this day, what they're saying is to this day there could be no m-o-u, but it's fine for the entertainment commission to continue to issue permits in the absence or would be fine theoretically in the absence of any m-o-u. >> but isn't that what was what was intend with the agreement to hold over the original m-o-u? >> we believe not. >> i would -- may i just say something really briefly? i think the question of the port's delegation does not necessarily turn on the m-o-u, although i think a port commission was [speaker not understood] delegating authority would be in effect a direction for the staff to follow through. and i think it would be effective on the adoption of the resolution, the resolution does that. however, i think the staff from the port is here toda

but instead, the board has become an activist board from our perspective. several examples of such, when we look at things like the rule on conducting the union dues even after the agreement was ended, it appears to me that there is a theme that suggests that we are no longer looking at an impartial board, but a board that has within it the desire to create an outcome forcing employers to come back to the union dues after the bargaining agreement has conspired seems to me to overturn 51 years of precedence. the second issue that we've just discussed was the case of the microunions. as few as the employees classification having an opportunity to form the union seems to strip away some of the opportunity and the devotee of the employers. i think that the northrop grumman shipbuilding or 223 technicians out of the 2400 employees formed by would consider the union as troublesome comer my perspective. the third example is the courtesy work rule. i think that is the case where the company, carless motor inn incorporated had encouraged the rule that was struck dow

when i was in the board of education many of these resolutions on the board of supervisors were passed, many were passed without anyone speaking to us on the board of education. so it was very interesting, to see how this has evolve for me. i might not have supported this but when i thought about it, in particular with the well-thought-out amendments, it changes my mind completely. as you have mentioned supervisor mar, city college is such an anchor for our city terms of education; so many of our students to the school district and pre k -12 will enter city college before they can move onto other things, whether to another university or going through a two your program, the nursing program and so forth, to find employment. one of the biggest fears that i have, being a consumer myself and also actually teaching there for 10 years, i had a strong affiliation for this institution to make sure that it would exist beyond this year. and if they are going for accreditation process, i would hope that the governance is working to get them out of the situation. when i make a comparison, looking

any member of the board for the late items be accepted and ms. jones says this raises issues about the planning departments ability to respond during the initial process. >> may i add to that? if i have 8 days when does the board get to vote within that eight day process? my guess would be it would be at the appeal so they wouldn't know if they should respond to it they will respond to it anyway. >> i think that's correct supervisor kim as a practical matter if planning didn't have time to respond there would obviously be no response in the record. if it was very voluminous for example they could say we haven't had time to respond. >> as it works annoy we make every he effort to respond no matter when it is submitted but there are situation it in two l response. so we try to respond verbally at the hearing >> so if we play out the scenario and keeping in mind once an appeal is filed until it's heard at the board it's not like it happens next week. so if someone were to the day before the hearing or actually let's say, you know, one p.m. a couple

board made a fair consideration and thought about these things and we agree that the board or not the board, the department of public works tried the first time but we don't believe they reached the right result and we don't believe that any deference is necessary. the representative from mixed greens has shown up and said there's something called a saigon sandwich, it doesn't appear on his men you -- menu but it is a sandwich, this wasn't filed in his objection he filed last week. we just looked at the menu on the website and we have to say, even if there is a saigon sandwich that's a seasonal sandwich as it was termed, that does not require denial of any food permit. different types of sandwiches and similar types of sandwiches can co-exist, the menu that we cited, exhibit e which we pulled off of their website at the end of march has no saigon sandwich on it. finally, the representative of the building seems to be complaining just generally about food trucks, not about this particular one and how it will harm this business. there are plenty of differences between food trucks and be

second, board members come and go. but if confirmed i will do everything i can to recognize the board to mini cooper fresh and and staff members who do much of the boards hard work and contribute so much in the public service. finally, labor lawyers operate in a world where it can be difficult to find common ground. i embrace the reality that parties and often board members can have sharp disagreements and strongly held views. former chairman john fanning stated the one factor every nlrb case hasn' has income is the pre of at least two people who see things completely different. i respect everyone who has have served or is willing to serve on the board, regarding some policy issues, my fellow nominees and i may not always agree. if confirmed, i will approach every decision with an open mind. i will share my opinions in a constructive way. i will try to forge an agreement with fellow board members, and i will be open to different views. above everything else i will do my best to discharge the responsibility placed on ev

get to the board of education. it's tough to hear you parents but i continue to go to the community and give the full story and bring that information to the board of education again directly to us at the highest level and i'm grateful. i'm grateful that i continue to exist in a powerful way. thank you for representing the pack so well. thank you >> so i want to add my voice to the congratulations for the 10 years and your leadership. especially as a new commissioner and the only non-partial parents on the board and we work closely together. i'm looking forward to work together to a meeting and congratulation on 10 years and thank you for your leadership. (clapping) >> thank you commissioner. >> i just wanted to also is a we celebrated earlier and thank you to commissioner furrier for helping us plan for the celebration and commissioner for our willingness to help supply the food for us thank you. >> all right. item f public comment on consent items there are none. item g consent calendar do i hear a motion and a s

thank you. >> item 10, review of past week's events at the board of supervisors, board of appeals, and historic preservation commission. >> good afternoon, commissioners, ann marie rodgers planning department staff. this week at the board there were a few items you may be interested in. first on monday at the lubetionv committee, both ordinances that would address our c-e-q-a procedures and a lot about our local c-e-q-a appeal processes were heard. this includes supervisor wiener's ordinance which was scheduled before the board for potential action as well as supervisor kim's ordinance which is informational because there is still a pending action from the hpc. you'll remember that you considered these ordinances and to date you recommended approval of supervisor wiener's ordinance with two modifications which he has accommodated and for supervisor kim's ordinance you recommended approval of certain portions, disapproval of certain portions and you had the four additional informational item you wanted us to look into. so, this week we reported to the board that we will be producing add

and do you think that the puc should have said manage to the board of supervisors? >> yes, we know a lot more today then we did 18 months of 24 months ago. >> do you think the planning department should have said something to the board of supervisors? >> i know they're here. >> and i'll turn it over i have a couple of - >> oh, supervisors and take the question first of all. when the board of supervisors was deliberating on this issue was the planning aware of this? >> i don't believe we were aware of this issue until the ordinance was delivered to us for environmental review and the ordinance is originally dated 1219, 2012 so and there was a letter from simon to i believe - it was around november 29, 2012. >> so the puc doesn't inform planning of this issue before that time. >> we were not aware of the north forest main being there. >> now two questions if you had been aware you think that information would have will be relevant inform the board of supervisors information? >> yes. >> so the question is how is it that we have a major project that complicates one of t

i was nominated for the board and then a new board emerged forcing her off and the other people who have been opponents in effect. some of us who spoke at planning commission meetings and attendedth the abc hearings are in the dark, but rumors a bound. no official updates on live nation's issues have come from nha. linda chapman nor nob hill members were alerted of the meeting on may 23rd. i will mention at the annual meeting at nob hill association that the planning commission we always lose, don't bother to go there. you really want to render the public process irrelevant, this is what's happened. it may not be your intent. so, she says, is there a way to rally some troops? i so appreciated the work of you and dave and amy and robert , all very righteous people and all shoved out by those four negotiators that mary badiner treated as their neighbors in the coalition. >> is there any additional public comment? okay, seeing none, public comment is closed. >> commissioners, it will place you under your regular calendar and we'll be taking item 6 th was pulled off of consent at this time.

[ applause ] morning. if i c have everyone's attention.

. >> good morning chairman and members of the board. i would like to echo the remarks i made during last week's supplemental eir scoping meeting and with the issues with sfgovtv which is not broadcasting today's meeting live. the first point i made last week is a single tree track tunnel can't be built and it's impossible to e vac vait the train. the second point there are five structures two on second treat and two on townsend and this is bizarre and the structure for the london high speed tunnels are 2 miles apart. the last point extending the platforms to other side of main street it's impossible to do [inaudible] to the east bay at the later date. there is no improvement since november and i will touch on this again before the board adjourns to close session to discussed evaluation of the the chief executive and the transcripts of the november, december, january, and march board meetings have disappeared from sfgovtv and the presentation is missing from item number nine in the november board packet. >> thank you and our secretary wa

of supervisors and the board of education. i do think that we should have, or at least consider having a joint committee of the board of supervisors and the trustees of city college. we are already engaged in so many partnerships with city college and having that i'm going discussion and having them be a part of the discussion with the school district is something that i think that only benefit all three agencies. i hope that is something that we move forwards to. >> president chiu: supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: i think it is wonderful to have a dialogue, and to add live on the points that supervisor campos made, another supervisor amniano (sounds like), who created the committee of education, in which i said on for years, there should be some way to them through the college board of trustees and that important decision-making , on the city level and i know our advisor to the mayor and education -- mendoza, sitting in the audience as well, i hope to work with many of you together to bring a working group on how to support

instead, the board has become an activist board from our perspective. several examples of such.r the agreement has ended, it appears to me that there is a theme that suggests we are no longer looking at an impartial board, but a board that has within its intent or desire to create an outcome, forcing employers to continue to deduct union dues after bargaining agreement has expired seems to me to overturn 51 years of precedence. second issue we discussed was the case of micro unions. as few as two employees, same classification have an opportunity to form a union seems to strip away the authorities that the employers. i think specifically the northrop grumman shipbuilding were 223 technicians and employees for micro unions. this is troublesome from my perspective. third example is the courtesy work rules. i think that was the case for a motor company, carlos motor inc. had a courtesy role that was struck down and misplaced to me just a common sense rule as a former employee, i will tally you that this is mind-boggling from my dad and i read what the rule was. the courtesy is the

ultimately the board's rules are for the board to interpret and enforce. the board rules, as the president has suggested, the board rules do prohibit members of the public from speaking on any item that the board has considered on today's agenda already. and the board rules also prohibit public commenters from directing their comments at particular members of the board. >> so sir, you have on several occasions already violated that and i simply asked you to keep your comments general from you want to talk about our issues from a pro-life point of view, that is fine. sir, direct your comments to colleagues, that is in violation of the board rules. >> what they intend to do -- isn't this what they intend to do? isn't this considered intimidation for saying the truth? as far as i know i always thought it was free speech. here we go again. i think mr. campos >> excuse me, sir. >> i know. >> mr. deputy sheriff. >> okay. >> could you please assist this gentleman? sir, thank you very much. next speaker. >> any name is eugene gordon jr.. dictatorial democracy, all

and just wondering, and this is before i got on the board, were there any hearings? were there any moves from the board of supervisors to actually do something when the crisis seem to be occurring? because i am not necessarily sure there was anything done right to this resolution and i just wanted clarification on that if i can get it. >> president chiu: supervisor breed like clarification. last thursday i was a supervisor mar with some of the chinese childcare providers early in the evening and then with supervisor farrell -- the next time i am in your district i will look for you. >> supervisor mar;; as to the question about what the city has done, definitely not enough. i know that we as a body have had discussions the budget committee that i think you missed the meeting where there was a discussion of the various services and income support the controllers office percent of to us. but i think that communicated to you some of that discussion. there have been a number of other types of meetings between different factions, the groups that support city college , but

in response to your question about what the board could do -- the board could create a fund that individuals or third-parties donate into and a non board member would be designated to decide how that money is spent, whose offices will be furnished. if there's ten thousand dollars in the funds and the clerk decides that llars will be spent on a new desk in supervisor kim's office, then kim benefitted from it and avalos decided who would benefit. so that's a very long answer to your question. you also mentioned the ftcp letter that was circulated this week. a member of the public filed a complaint with the ftpc against the district attorney. the ftpc indicated they will not pursue that complaint. our advice will continue to be that you must either file the 801 or treat the gift something to you personally because the ftpc has decided not to pursue any enforcement action against the district attorney in this case, the letter is not the type of published advice letter on which we rely from the ft bepc usually in getting advice. >> can we pass this acceptance of gifts based contingent upon the su
