three members of our board of supervisors spent an extraordinary amount of their personal time as well as their city time to get this done. board president david chiu, supervisor mark farrell, and supervisor david campos spent an extraordinary amount of hours and i personally want to thank them for doing that because i know that those early morning hour meetings that occurred, the weekend phone calls, sometimes the phone calls were from lou to get them back to the table after some doors were slammed. and we know that because i've been through that myself. yet i would say that dedication and leadership persevered through our supervisors, and they made it happen. this could not have happened without a local businessman's participation as well, and of course i'm speaking about lou girardo. he agreed to serve as a mediator, gave a huge amount of his personal time to this effort. and while i know he didn't realize what this would take when he first volunteered after we asked him, i also know that he worked through a lot of frustration to get this agreement happen. and it wasn't just the mee

i want to thank you for attending the board meetings and all the members of the board of supervisors. this is the first time the board of supervisors has stepped up and learned about how complex our rates are. as you know, with health care reform they have only been made more complex. i'm very proud of the rate package before you today. it represents the 2 years of work in the county care and represents your decision to take on risk by flex funding blue shield which has kept the rates down. i think it's important to point out that the city's cost are only increasing by 0.7 percent. i think anyone would jump for this increase rate in the country. for employers when you include vision and dental, their rate is higher because they have few people in kaiser actually. their's is 2.3 percent. still lower than the national average, lower than calipers and saving the city tense of millions of dollars over the years and as well as saving our liability. i want to recognize as the supervisor ferrel, elisa, when i got diagnosed stepped up and has been running as fast as she can. we wouldn't have

i want to congratulate chair farrell on the great budget process and working with all the board of supervisors to craft a budget it advances board agenda believe upon the mayor's budget. i think that the budget that the mayor presented to the board of supervisors was a really great budget and we love the proprietors we've gathered in our work and in the townhalls to make sure there was an added voice in this budget. but the process you had set up chair farrell was one that was really, really great and i really made sure we all had an equal voice in the process. this budget advances you you know the cause of the support services for hiv aids patients and people living with hiv and aids. at any time our recognition san francisco recognition as a compassionate city where we work with the hiv and aids community that's effected by the epidemic. we do so much more. this is the first budget we actually allocating funds for the affordable howard's. we have funding for down payment assistance and to protect homeowners against foreclosure and we're able to pass that without conflict-free. there was a lo

and that decision... >> to the board of supervisors. >> it is appealable to the board of supervisors. >> and then, so until, unless and until that is process is over, no construction. >> right. >> because we would work with ddi and process any addendum which we will have to review any way and we have instructed the staff who worked on this that we should hold it until such time that the subpoena division is approved because it would be inappropriate for the construction to commence >> none has been submitted. >> no. >> do the planning commission minutes going back to 65. >> yes. >> and any research on what the minutes said here? >> i don't know that. because we would need a date of action and it would be a little bit of a needle in a hay stack and they did their best to research and i think that this was a question in 98 as well. this was not the first time that this matter has been researched and i think in 98 and in the most recent research that we have not been able to locate any conditions of approval that would limit the development here. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> mr. duffy?

as soon as tomorrow. >> this will be before the board of supervisors on july 30th? >> so we'll get our response in from the packet technique. >> in connection next item please. all right. >> commissioners this places you on our latin-american round item number 89 approval of the march, 2013 minutes. >> i move. >> second and would you like roll call or. >> all in favor. >> commissioners the approval the next minutes. do we have a motion >> i move. >> second. >> all in favor? commissioners item 11 approval the april 8, 2013, minutes >> just get on to the action and all in favor? >> okay. next item please and it's the director's report. >> good afternoon, commissioners. so we're at the director's report. i want to let you know we evident the calendar year for the number of clients served at 4 thousand and 22 up 44 percent. we had a tremors uptake when we say clients served but we had a high volume of phone numbers as well as of the business registration and businesses call our office to in hopes of getting some assistance around the business registration. so that is a v

president, and members of the board of supervisors. my name is calvin lou. i'm one of the founders of the broadway corridor small business and property owners. we are opposed to the bcd mainly because many of the small business owners cannot afford another layer of expenses piled onto them. they are really mom and mom stores. they own liquor stores, pizza parlors and bars. our groups do not believe in being taxed twice. one as property owners and another assessment on top of them. currently there are owners that are boarded up at least four or five of them. who are they going to pass these expenses to? we urge you to vote no. >> hi. i represent the small parking lot of 22 cars -- on broadway street owned by my family. no one takes into consideration that we are

there's a few facts somehow the mayor's office and the board of supervisors found the sources to save the gay center ton market street. somehow the mayor's office and the board of supervisors get the resources for the infamous america's he cup and now the city has the resources to try to snatch the golden state warriors from one city to the other. if you have the resources and abilities to do those 3 promotions one simple bookstore should have been done a long time. and i'll offer you a friendly reminded just in case everyone hadn't forbidden. turn this one down and you might have al sharpening panetta even though standing where i'm standing and i'd like to see you deal with his bus loads of folks. many people would love a site in of good ole black folks (clapping) >> any members of the public that wish to speak? seeing none, this public comment is closed. colleagues supervisor breed has several motions in front of the of us. any comments. so on the motion for the serious injury finding. can we take that most without objection. and with regards to the brown act finding periphery breed

it's a committee that would make a recommendation to the san francisco board of supervisors which under the charter has the final say on what happens at the airport. what the ordinance does it sort of makes it clear we want to honor harvey milk by naming a terminal at the airport by not which terminal so the committee makes a troemths the full board. it leaves the possibility of having other terminals and other facilities naming them after other folks. we want to make sure that is a collaborative process this is what the make up of the committee as recommended would be 5 committee members appointed by the mayor and 45 postponed by the board of supervisors and this committee would then make a recommendation to the board of supervisors. it's important for this committee to be diverse to represent the different communities. and i would say we want to make sure we move forward this forward the timing when it comes time to honoring harvey milk the timing is for an appropriate time in terms of the rights of the lgbt community. one of the things i've been struck by and seeing what's happening

each time in high school they pronounced my name differently and a good afternoon board of supervisors. i work with the community i'm an organizer. we're located in the mission and i just wanted to echo a lot of the comments that envy coworkers and allies have shared with you about the challenges and access. i want to especially talk about the challenges with the latino community. i've noticed a lot of challenges and educating the community about the language access. some of the main barriers i've seen within our community as michelle as pointing out us u out that the distrust in city agencies and government based on how they're coming from their countries. i think for a lot of our community members it's hard enough to learn how to navigate the department and system and on top of that i know you're not having the in land services and how to access them. that's been one of the main concerns as they're not knowing how to navigate the departments and trying to get the in land service a difficult. some you thought things excuse me. some of the things we're doing to address this include doi

first, as you all know in 2004 the board of supervisors voted to implement as part of it's energy resource program and a way to decrease in-house gases and initiate efficiency. more recently in september, the board voted to authorize the general manager to sign a contract to shell energy and go ahead with the program subject to the usual regulatory authorizations that we require including authorization of our rate. in march, just before i came on board, the rate fairness board was presented with a 14.57 rate and didn't approve or disapprove of the rate, but they did say that we should be looking at ways to get the rate down. which is something we've been doing. right now, the program's designed so that there will continue to be a hundred percent renewable product using california certified products in the resource mix. we are ready to start local buildup immediately at launch. we are working on some components right now. if we get the go ahead we'll work on it with much more vigor. we have a contract as you know with shell that wee been negotiating and we'll continue to work on with the ap

commission, and is then also reviewed by a special reviewer who then writes a letter to the board of supervisors sort of commenting on whether everything -- it looks like it's in order. so, in a couple different ways the board is provided with that information simply by looking at the city report, which is obviously available to you, go through the planning commission. and/or looking at the second work that the special reviewer does. >> i do understand that, and that's a written report which sometimes can get buried. so, that's why i was hoping that we could -- and i don't think this has been necessarily done, but this is -- i'm not suggesting this isn't an important deal for the city as a whole, but this is in the backyard of the western addition community and in the past many projects had moved forward, both redevelopment planning and otherwise, what promises to the community that have not necessarily, you know, been the follow through associated with those projects, the hiring of the community members. there's been no way to directly hold companies accountable in a forum like the board of sup

for the board of supervisors to continue to work legislation for all contracts with the city and county of san francisco and continue negotiations with kaiser so we are not at the last bill for next year and working with legislative issues and supervisor farrell is leading the issue on transparency and we are leading the issue for that. and pledge commitment from all health plans doing business with the city. and on the union side, the unions are very supportive of the transparentcy effort. there is always a voluntary boycott for kaiser. models that don't favor kaiser will be important as an opportunity to pursue that with that i would like to have eric rap port to speak to the charter obligation. >> okay. mr. rap port, thank you. >> good afternoon. h hf asked me to come here today to outline the city's benefits and rates process. first i want to make clear that the charter creates a legal obligation for the city to provide health plans for the city employees and retirees and active care for the employees, san francisco unified school district and college district and superior court. by

the things you learn from the board of supervisors meeting are heart stopping. i commend you for putting some bricks to it. the free enterprise system to me seems to be completely out of whack and i could not for bear my shocking reaction. thank you for the assessment. >> thank you. next speaker? >> hi. i think it's important to know i'm not shamed of my age. i'm 82 years old. i have been a member of kaiser since 15. if you take away my kaiser, i might as well go over the bridge. i have just had major surgery. i cannot be jumping from one doctor to another. i have to have my kaiser and i'm not alone. absolutely not alone in these feelings. help and make sure that kaiser doesn't disappear. i need my kaiser and i'm sure there are many people in this room that feel the same as i do. please don't throw away kaiser. kaiser is a major in this city. please. if i say anymore i'm going to start crying. >> thank you. if anyone wants to speak lineup on the right hand side of the chamber. >> good morning members and board of supervisors. i also want to welcome back katherine

. >> item 5, 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 there are a few item that the land use committee hearings or full board at the land use committee hearing, the bicycle plan amendments and the planning code and the general plan amendments related to the 2009 bike plan were back before the land use committee. this commission recommended approval of those two ordinances on may 16th with some modifications. since your hearing, supervisor avalos signed on as sponsor of the ordinance and amended the legislation to reflect your recommendations. also during this time, staff heard from sfmta off-street parking division regarding some of the provisions for temporary exemptions of city-owned garageses that would have to comply with the new requirements. supervisor avalos in collaboration with our staff and mta staff made some amendments to the legislation to allow for such temporary exemptions that would be -- that were incorporat

of supervisors and remember, the members of the board of supervisors also sit as the county transportation commission, so they are not just kind of bringing their leadership in support from their representation on the board but also bringing the funding through the association of the prop case sales tax that is part of the funding of this. i want to thank the county transportation authority as well, for their support, and their leadership. the other leader who is a member of the board of supervisors and transportation, county, transportation commission is supervisor london breed from district five and give her a hand, grateful for her support. more importantly she is my district supervisor, she represents the district that i live in and i am kind of feeling a little less doubt here that my supervisor is not talking about the subway stops that we are going to get. so i think that we will also plan for phase four where we are going to hook a left and come back south and get subway into district five. >> don't want to be left out. >> another district five resident is

i had at the beginning of this process there would be a reduction in the authority of the board of supervisors when it comes to the ability to hear appeals of final environmental impact reports. i think it's a major victory for this process and especially for the community this board coalition that we have before us legislation that protects the authority of this board of supervisors to hear those eir appeals. my experience in the last four and a half years on the board of supervisors to hear the appeals is critical to making sure we have the projects that ultimately are right for the city and there are many examples of how the boards authority and it's ability to have those hearings has led to outcomes that have made projects better and i think there's probably no perfect examples no better example of that point. then what happened with the c pmc project. and see i think it's a testament to all of my colleagues that we have an outcome that has protected the authority of the board. the reality is that by protecting the authority of the board we're protecting the ultimate right of the public to
