most boards and i assume your board has the insurance as well. i will leave that to staff and mark if you have similar questions for board of supervisors or other city boards, i would like you to weigh in as well. >> this question has come up from time to time. as a technical matter, board members would be subject to as a matter of law, civil and criminal liabilities for securities law violations. with that said, to date no board member has been subject to sanction for miss statements or omissions. no legislative body board member has been sanctioned. the reason that we have the processes, we go through the training is to ensure those defenses are availability if it should come to pass. we have, obviously, dnl insurance. to date it is staff members not board members that have been sanctioned for miss statements and omissions. the sec realizes the real drivers of this prove process ad those close to the representations are staff members and so that is to date where the real liability has been. there is technical exposure if we willfully blew throu

the board of education has approved our issuance. market commissions continue to be (indescernable). most importantly, the proceeds are running out. we are offering a document by the end of the month so we can receive the funds in august. we want to thank supervisor furor office for allowing us to come in front of you for approval of this resolution today. >> chairwoman: thank you very much. any comments or questions from my colleagues? seeing none, can we please have a report from the b.l.a.? >> the proposed resolution approves the issuance of $280 million in general obligation bond. as we note in our report, the city will cover debt service on the bond, to levy and collect property taxes. these bonds are not considered a debt of the city, and the city is not responsible for the issuance of the bond or use of the bond's postings. and the response does not count against the city's debt service limit, and it is not constrained by the city's capital plan which sets limits of the impact of debt to 12% -- yeah, 12% of $100 assessed value

moran, which, colleagues, a function of our board that we delegated to an appeal board? who is replaced miss doran? >> clerk: his name is mr. allister gibson. he came from the ranks and is willing and happy to talk to any member of the board to get a sense of where we're at in these appeals so that we can get them all scheduled. i believe there are only members made up to be on two of those boards as their several vacancy notices that are moving through the rules committee to fill the third board. >> supervisor peskin: so madam clerk, relative to vacancies, how many do we have, and is that on the complex board or the simple board? >> clerk: so supervisor peskin, it's my understanding that i believe it's board -- what i'm going to do is i'm not going to surmise what the answer is. i can't recall, so i would prefer to send you an e-mail. >> supervisor peskin: if you could send that to all of us and the public, i'd appreciate that. >> clerk: happy to. that'll help us get our vacancies moving through the committee. once we get more applicants to apply for those positions. >>

he says a number of things are put to the board in terms of increase the diversity of the fa board, and had been to promote paul elliott, chair of the advisory board, to become a director. 0ther advisory board, to become a director. other suggestions were to give the premier league and the efl, on the professional side of things and the national game, and extra board member, but he said that professional game representatives had opposed such a review and that the national game presented tips, those pathetic, had been loathes to oppose the professional game, so he said he was impossible to examine the constitution of the board because it did not have the backing of the professional game —— those sympathetic. we waited on a response from the premier league and efl, but then came an update from greg clarke on the fa's website, saying that he had been updated on what had actually happened and that she did not intend for the letter to be divisive and that he had been told that, actually, the professional game representatives were in favour ofa game representatives were in favour of a review.

board was a collective action. they led by the naacp, the national association for the advancement of colored people, and their legal defense fund. they recruited people to be plaintiffs in these cases. as you heard in the intro, the locations in brown from delaware, kansas, virginia, south carolina, and washington, d.c. one of the cases was organized by teenagers led by 16-year-old girl on her own who called for a strike at her segregated school for the right to have better facilities. the rest were parent driven cases. so my father got involved because one day just this simply history knocked on our door in the form of a childhood friend who was now an attorney. they went to grade school together. they went to junior high together. they went be to high school together. charles went off to world war ii and came back and became an attorney. one sunday afternoon he knocked on our door and asked my father if he would be willing to join this case they were organizing to sue the school board so the children would no lo

and and i did the same thing with the board of a.c. transit and encourage us a to not negotiate and to do permanent and work back for improvement. >> director haney, i thought i saw you. and he had a question. okay. i strongly support this approach and talk about the outdoor spaces and have there been particular tenants who have inquired about that and what are some of the opportunities that we might have with outdoor spaces? i think that's exciting thing that we should really be pursuing and making available to the greatest extent possible. >> right. so a couple of those options i will talk about and give you an example and fitness sf and opportunities to do things outside and cannot go inside. and having those conversations and that is not start and with the directors with the perimeters and to expand that opportunity. and that can be another item in the tool box to offer tenants. and director lipkin, i don't see this sign. >> thanks for the presentation, john. i think it makes sense. obviously given the current circumstance, everyon

board and the caltrain board are all scheduled to discuss the board next week prior to or on august 6th which is the last day that caltrain board can ask to put the measure on the ballot. and so with that i'm going to turn this over to our executive director to discuss the governance provision. >> thank you, thank you so much. good evening, i'm the executive director of transportation authority. i'm glad to provide some background on the governance provisions that are included in today's resolution. for the members of the public who may not know the history of caltrain, supervisor peskin did describe some of that, and the board has established an ad hoc committee on governance in january at the request of supervisor and director walton, and it's comprised of director walton and director chavez as he mentioned and also chair pine from san mateo. caltrain board also hired a special counsel in february to advise the committee and the board on issues relating to governance. their first presentation to the caltrain board was on july 9th at which the special council summarized two governing d

moran, which, colleagues, a function of our board that we delegated to an appeal board? who is replaced miss doran? >> clerk: his name is mr. allister gibson. he came from the ranks and is willing and happy to talk to any member of the board to get a sense of where we're at in these appeals so that we can get them all scheduled. i believe there are only members made up to be on two of those boards as their several vacancy notices that are moving through the rules committee to fill the third board. >> supervisor peskin: so madam clerk, relative to vacancies, how many do we have, and is that on the complex board or the simple board? >> clerk: so supervisor peskin, it's my understanding that i believe it's board -- what i'm going to do is i'm not going to surmise what the answer is. i can't recall, so i would prefer to send you an e-mail. >> supervisor peskin: if you could send that to all of us and the public, i'd appreciate that. >> clerk: happy to. that'll help us get our vacancies moving through the committee. once we get more applicants to apply for those positions. >>

but this is a fairly typical process with the board when issues are identified that the board does often allow corrections or amenitiment amene made with the issues. and on the third floor we did observe an office use at that level. it's an allowed use and they have a pending permit to utilize the top floor as office. we also had some discrepancies on the proposed conditions on the second floor which was an existing office use. and they're still kind of working on having accurate representations of that work. we think that all of that kind of changed in the scope and can be addressed in a revision permit. which, you know, is what they have pending before d.b.i. they have the permit to legalize the third floor use and we think they can make those other corrections at that point. and what is before the board with this permit is the legalization of the top floor addition. and compliance of the planning commission requirements which have been cut back so that there's a setback from the front building facade. all of this could move forward under this permit if we have the correct plans and al

but it's budgeted for a board reserve. so if we are projecting let's say two quarters from now that those revenues will come in at a level where we're at budget plus revenue, we will come back to the m.t.a. board and we'll offer some recommendations on how those dollars can be spent. it might go right back into transit service, depending on how demand is at the -- you know, at the end of the calendar year. but those are not budgeted for expenditures. and our service plan is not built on those revenues being available in the budget. below the thin line was a different scenario and risk that we considered in developing the budget. now we me state for the record. it looks like the general fund line is equal and stable across those rates. the reason being is we receive our general fund estimates from the controller's office. and so they've given us a fixed amount. that's the amount we put in the budget. so we don't do an official estimate for the general fund. we just receive our official estimate from the controller's office.

you got the lefter and more left parts of our board, the supervisors on board. this offers profound relief to the small business sector of the tax paying community. but i really want to thank you, norman, for how you conducted this entire episode. (indiscernible). >> president yee: i appreciate it. but it wasn't hard with the three of you working on it. what could i say. it could be much more difficult, but i felt that it was just (indiscernible). so, madam clerk, what do i have to do now? i have to make a motion to continue this item? >is there a second? >> second. >> president yee: seconded by supervisor stefani -- fewer? okay, all right. okay, then go ahead. so there's been a motion made and seconded. madam clerk, can you please call the roll on this continuance? >> clerk: to continue item 37 to july 28th.

you are one of 20 members initially announced on this board.embers that there are? that is a very interesting mix in terms of geographical location and diversity of outlook, diversity of ethnicity. you have got an interesting bunch of lawyers, human rights activists, academics, journalists, troublemakers. it is interesting, if you want a quiet life, you would not have chosen this board. what did facebook say to you to persuade you to take this job? we are facing a crisis of truth, of... of trust, of knowing what is true and what is not true. and as somebody who... kind of passionately believed in the dream and the opportunity that the internet offered, it has been very sad to see it get into a certain degree of trouble. so the idea of having a kind of independent board of people who could help what are basically a bunch of highly talented engineers think through the moral, legal, editorial, ethical considerations that they have to wrestle with, if we could pull that off that would be an incredibly valuable thing to do, and i know lots of people

president, if we could adjourn the board, i'd like to make a motion to adjourn the board meeting unanimously for the young individual, jason, who died untimely. if that could come from the entire board, i'd appreciate that. >> president yee: so be it -- i mean, i agree with you. so we'll close our meeting to jace young, right? mr. young? >> clerk: yes, we'll make note of that. thank you. >> president yee: okay. then no further business? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> president yee: okay. then meeting adjourned. thank you very much, everybody.

it is our hope to have, on the board docket -- we already have a spot for -- on the board agenda thatll learning and attached to that should be a slide deck and in that deck it will give you a sense of the recommendations that we are at this point making to the board. at this point they're high-level because they're not the plan. the plan will come on the 28th. and that will have much more detail about what we're trying to do. but the high-level should give you a great sense of the direction we're moving in so that you can begin to make accommodations. >> more specific to planning. >> it doesn't look like covid-19 will be going away anytime soon. do we have plans for live distance learning? maybe someone could help me with that. do you know what live distance learning is? >> you know, we were pretty much all over the map during that, you know, during the spring where there were teachers who were live with their students multi-hours a day. and there were others it touching base maybe once a week. so i think what this parent most likely is asking is if we'll have more in-person, albeit

the board consists of seven minutes appointed by the board of supervisors and take a majority vote in november to pass. in the end i want to thank everyone for all of the work they have done to getting us here today. i think that this is great policy and a positive step forward to getting to the accountability for law enforcement that we all wish to achieve. supervisor ronen, i know that you already called o on the sheriff, and if it's all right with you i'd love to bring him up at this time. >> chair ronen: perfect. yes, sheriff, good morning. >> good morning. sorry, i have hit the mute as we all know on these things, it's part of what we have to do now. good morning, everyone. and thank you very much for the opportunity to speak. i apologize for the accommodation that has to be considered for my time. we're swearing in a new assistant sheriff today and that's part of our process of change and looking forward to moving in a direction of making sure that we are responsive to the needs of the community. and this legislation represents exactly what supervisor walton mentioned. and as he

our board has had many, many discussions on this. been working very closely with blue shield of california to identify the cause of some of the denials and problems that have existed for our members. i would like to clearly state that we are bound by state law that prohibits discrimination based on sexual preference. and so it's been a journey of understanding all of the touch points in a fragmented health care system of how that can be administered in a way that does not create the problems that some of our members have experienced. and so we did some clarifications on the infertility benefit last year. blue shield has a dedicated staff person for our membership to work with each woman that is considering that she may have difficulty conceiving. then they work directly with the case manager to overcome any of the barriers that may exist in the system and they're correcting them as they work through each of these issues. and so we -- i think the last piece that you have spoken to, the pharmacy piece, has been very difficult. it is a

and then, i don't know if the board -- did the board personally weigh-in on this r.f.p. and what they would like to see or was it just the focus group? >> this is commissioner zvanski. i have a question, as well, through the chair. >> vice president follansbee: wait. we're still waiting for a response to that question. you were muted, i believe. >> no, i've been actively listening to this board for 2.5 years, karen, and we've had a number of sessions dedicated specifically to this. so i did hear what you're saying. i would like -- the one comment that i would like to make, though, is we are not including in this competitive bid the medicare business. it would be too much for us to be able to take that on, and the disruption to the entire population would be almost impossible to manage. so we are focused this year on the medical plans for the active and early retiree populations. >> president breslin: so no p.p.o. in sight for the medicare population? >> we're not addressing the medicare populations this time around. >> vice president follansbee: commissioner zvanski, you

setting up again for outdoor dining i'm so thankful that they you know the health department and the board supervisors and the state got it turned around so quickly outdoor dining began in alameda county on june 19th only to be suspended by the state last friday because the state said the county had not received a waiver to proceed. that okay came wednesday morning meaning restaurants do not have to resort to pick up and delivery only which won't even pay the bills. >>now to make it was like why didn't i am still stopping it. and able to pay my bills and pay my staff. we employ people. you know, i'm not saying we're making profit. but at the end as long as we're all make it a break and a check. it that's that's humongous concerns over laying off staff and not being able to pay the bills for some restaurants like dimitris to verna to stay open over the last few days. >>still getting the state's. ok means a lot, especially the new restaurants like azul back any to tell you how to be a way our shoulders. my wife and i we're just. >>or or overwhelmingly happy that this does happen, but the on

again, let just do it at the board. but moving on to the bonafide eating place, can you explain why we are creating a new definition of bonafide eating place? if it's to be an expanded definition. >> yes. so currently, the bonafide eating place definition has been challenging to enforce and hard for businesses to clearly even -- even when businesses want to show compliance, it's been very challenging. we researched what a number of other cities are doing and we found models in places like washington, d.c. that matched what we did. we increased the number, the dollar amount by quite a lot from d.c.'s model has, based on studies, what the revenue of local eating establishments are and we took the lowest 25% and we did a whole thing to calculate it and we gave the zoning administrator the ability to adjust it as needed. the point is to ep sur ensure it a bar masquerading as a restaurant and they're legitimately serving food and we think this allows an easier way for businesses to combine still clearly having food as a majo

again, let just do it at the board. but moving on to the bonafide eating place, can you explain why we are creating a new definition of bonafide eating place? if it's to be an expanded definition. >> yes. so currently, the bonafide eating place definition has been challenging to enforce and hard for businesses to clearly even -- even when businesses want to show compliance, it's been very challenging. we researched what a number of other cities are doing and we found models in places like washington, d.c. that matched what we did. we increased the number, the dollar amount by quite a lot from d.c.'s model has, based on studies, what the revenue of local eating establishments are and we took the lowest 25% and we did a whole thing to calculate it and we gave the zoning administrator the ability to adjust it as needed. the point is to ep sur ensure it a bar masquerading as a restaurant and they're legitimately serving food and we think this allows an easier way for businesses to combine still clearly having food as a majo

but it's budgeted for a board reserve. so if we are projecting let's say two quarters from now that those revenues will come in at a level where we're at budget plus revenue, we will come back to the m.t.a. board and we'll offer some recommendations on how those dollars can be spent. it might go right back into transit service, depending on how demand is at the -- you know, at the end of the calendar year. but those are not budgeted for expenditures. and our service plan is not built on those revenues being available in the budget. below the thin line was a different scenario and risk that we considered in developing the budget. now we me state for the record. it looks like the general fund line is equal and stable across those rates. the reason being is we receive our general fund estimates from the controller's office. and so they've given us a fixed amount. that's the amount we put in the budget. so we don't do an official estimate for the general fund. we just receive our official estimate from the controller's office.
