shows the consideration for the public officials and the organization proposing such boxes to be placed throughout the city. while san francisco is by know means without blight problems and disturbing images, it does deserve far better than the dozen of boxes that fit into the landscape rather than what is widely acclaimed. i strongly encourage you to halt all installations pending a redesign. a full eir for the entire project for each site. there is no reason why the pro the should be separated into small boxes and each side taken as separate uts -- units as a whole. i urge you to deny the boxes to accommodate community needs and standards. thank you. supervisor scott weiner: thank you, next speaker, please. >> hi, my name is joel, president of the residents association. the problem i have is with the city ducks list. it no longer exist. the technology is so old and cannot be updated and no new name can be added to it and they still have no solution to it. i as the president of the association had to contact dpw, at&t, planning department to get the information updated so that the former president who sho

if they were to go to box city or arrow or and they can do that without moving their medallion to that company so they could transfer dispatch. it's a bit of a red herring. this is all after the fact /o*efpb even with the argument that i wanted less driving. thanks for telling us now after we've cited you and submitted this paperwork to inform you of this. >> i think you answered my question. >> no further questions then, commissioners? >> no. >> then the matter's submitted. >> what i saw today was -- i see nothing to suggest that this should be overturned. >> we have a motion to deny the appeal and up hold both revocations. >> commissioner tile. >> i. >> commissioner honda. >> i. >> the vote is five to zero. both revocations are upheld. >> thank you. we'll move on then to item 7a, b and c appeal numbers 160, 161 and 162, all a filed by at&t california against the department of public works bureau of street use and mapping. they were at the properties located at 194 and 210 randall street, 364 roll of street and 360 street surface mounted facility permits. they're on for hearing today.

no one from dpw, no one from the city at these box walks. second, the city is absent. so all of these opportunities about public land where we can put these boxes off the public right-of-way on public land, why not do that on accepted streets, puc properties and school properties etc. we are not doing that. supervisor scott weiner: thank you, mr. holland. >> thank you for holding this hearing. it's over due. as you know par as long as with san francisco beautiful is one of the original appellants of the exemption from departmental review. i would like to give you what it has been, par has been the largest organization in the city representing over 4,000 people. we were never asked to get the letters from at&t. listing all the sites from the district. there was never a preliminary what are you going to do with it. we just got them. we published them in our newsletters

the city law does require they place these boxes on private property and this is very similar to what comcast does. i will tell you what comcast provides which offers voice internet and video as does at&t product. what they provide on information that i received was the side of the private citizens they approach. i could not retrieve under a sunshine request where the amounts they offer to those citizens on those boxes on the private property. i point this out because based on this as they said before and $100 per month. that's about $600,000 per year. that would be $30,000 per year. i'm pretty sure you would find a local resident who would have a box go on their property for $30,000 a year. the second point i want to point out, actually i will leave it at that. >> good afternoon supervisors. i have not had to contend with any new installation of a box. i and everyone else live on a daily to try to submit the daily existing boxes. that the boxes be automatically painted every week. i religiously use my 311 app to record the graffiti on the 3 boxes on my street on third and the turn ar

san francisco supervisors are expected to hear some objections today to allowing more utility boxes on the cityund the city but opponents say the sidewalks should be for people and not the utilities and there is a hearing set this afternoon there. >> ariel sharon died there sunday following a streak years ago. hundreds of people are in attendance and joe biden is leading the u.s. delegation. >>> a deadline is approaching for an agreement between iran and major powers. iran has agreed to limit uranium enrichment and open them to inspections then. the administration is cautiously optimistic. >> the negotiations are very difficult but they are the best chance we have to be able to resolve this critical national security issue peacefully and like that. >> if iran does that they will get relief from sanctions. >> the president made some nominations and aappointments over that and they sued him because of that, the land mark case is expected to settle how he can do that. >>> well the wall street is open after closing mixed on friday. >> wendy gillette joins us from there with information about anothe

city. everybody's district. i think the point is with all of this is that we have reached a tipping point of sidewalk boxes from every company plus the city. and i know planning has a term for it which escapes me for a moment. it's the tipping point. i received several e-mails about these boxes coming into my neighborhood because i am registered at city decks which asno longer exist. there is no place to object except to the public relations consultant. there was nothing about dpw or at&t. also i do want to thank you for this hearing, however, i would like to point out that it does not fulfill fulfill the mout and again after year two which should have taken place last year. mr. blake man told us this is a box. here is a photo of a box. the box is here. supervisor scott weiner: thank you very much. next speaker. >> thank you, i just wanted to share my experience. i live at 529 buchanan. they want to install a box at 503 buchanan. that address does not exist. i find that to be the most frustrating part of all of this, the lies, the strategy, to trick the citizens and i mean, i think it's been said before. i just

called for this hearing to provide a status update and informational hearing on the at&t boxes placed in our city. i want to thank our supervisors kim and avalos for cosponsoring the hearing. more than a year ago we had a ceqa appeal at the board of supervisors for the at and t boxes and it was affirmed by the court whether a legal issue of cat categorical was appropriate. we didn't want these boxes on our sidewalks. almost exactly the same time that we affirmed the cat egorical exemption my office and other offices issued a memorandum of understanding with at & t agreed to a certain level of outreach and participation working with communities in decisions relate to go placement of these boxes. understate law at & t has a discretion but we have our limits. we can do is ensure that @ & t is working with local neighborhoods to determine if there is appropriate places to place the box whether there are private property or other locations not on the public right of way or action in connection with boxes to reduce some of the challenges of the boxes create whether we are talking about public art or pe

engage sf city which would be really good for them to come up with a technological solution to figure out how to fund this thing and everybody would be happy meantime we'll talk about one box or another all over the city for years. supervisor scott weiner: thank you very much. before we get to the next speaker let me call the next round. david troop, ronald bencher, kelly, von kerr, pannedrani, kesh baum, oh leery, greg buff in, morena moreno, anderson, and dell seymour. go ahead. >> good afternoon, my name is freud. i'm here to express my opposition to this cabinet. i'm a telecom communication professional myself and i do know a thing about this business. i put this here to remind everybody what you are talking about. we are talking about ugliness and defacing our street and bringing down morale. i'm not going to stand here and complain. i'm going to talk about solutions. how does the city allow at&t to use under the over pass areas that there is no foot traffic or people can't see it. there is a lot of places that city parks it's cars or cal trans. they can use it for these areas. also there are a bunch of public places and many parks that these boxes could be installed

are going through and they are in boxes that are really important i think from the city's perspective and supervisor's perspective to not move forward. i wanted to get your thinking around when you decide to appeal those? >> sure, our appeals process from wednesday is that the city's order is clear on the process that should be followed and i don't believe it was followed. it uses words like "shall" and "will" and we don't believe that process was followed. it's to put on the record. it's that the state law under the act that was passed that created state franchises for providers like at&t that's states that permits should be viewed within 30 days. we believe they should be reviewed on a timely action. supervisor jane kim: there is only 3 you are repealing of the 9. >> we went out and found another location which was acceptable to the community. they eventually, those other six eventually got built, i believe. i have to double check my records. i believe they all got built in an alternative location that was more acceptable to the community. >> when i look at the number, 1

san francisco, one of the very first cities in the country to initially quote-unquote ban the box in its own city-wide hiring, again set the barbie expanding and strengthening its banned the box form to cover private businesses, contractors and affordable housing. i want to thank in particular supervisor malia cohen. both of us represent the highest number of individuals with a conviction record in our two districts in 6 and 10. so, this is something that really impacts many of our residents. i am also often asked what we are doing to work on combating homelessness and creating more employment opportunities for many of our most vulnerable residents. this legislation is one of those pieces. i also want to thank our co-sponsors today. president chiu, supervisor avalos, supervisor campos, and supervisor mar for your early support of this legislation. so many organizations worked on this legislation over the past 12 months. whether it was our department such as olsc, dhr, to many of our organizations that i've mentioned and of course some small business securities and exchange commission

now at this point they are coming back and managed to get a 6-5 vote in their favor with boxes all over the city. i think the demonstration has been made and by most people if not 90 percent of the people who have been speaking today in opposition of these boxes. what they are is plain, clear from any of the pictures that you have seen they are blight, they are target for graffiti and i don't know any person who is assigned by at&t to clean up the graffiti. i don't know of any program that's put in place to accurately and adequately address the residential concerns of the place a. ments of the boxes. they act as a barrier for anyone to break into a car. they are that big to be able to shield that. now that we can't get these boxes from being installed, let's create some accountability for them being out there and the process by which more of these appeals against them and the 200 to 1 ratio of the boxes being put in are addressed and more people have an opportunity to have them removed like the original 6-5 vote have the basis for the people positive on it where that residents would be able to s

many of you are already familiar with band the box because the city and county has instituted similar legislation for employment opportunities within the city ask county back in 2007. this is an opportunity to expand leg asian that's worked for our city to private employers, contractors who have a contract with the city and county of san francisco, and affordable housing developer providers that have a contract with the city and county of san francisco. as supervisor cohen has importantly mentioned, one out of three to one out of four individuals in this country have an arrest or conviction record. in many parts of the country and here in san francisco, decision makers in the business and housing world can ask about your conviction history at the very first application. this is what we normally call the box. today, any business or housing provider can say, if you have a conviction record, you need not apply. the bureau of justice statistics and the office of the u.s. attorney, one in three adults in the u.s. has had contact with the criminal justice system, whether it is a dui when yo

to take care of that greening when it's designed to compensate to have a large metal box near your house. >> the city feels it's fair. supervisor scott weiner: if it's not fair that the city requires that, do you think, i mean -- >> if that's the city policy to stress that upon their property owners, i don't think it should be thrust upon us, i do believe we should help foster the planting so that it takes and it can survive, but beyond that we are not a landscape company. if the city wants to require landscaping in the public right-of-way we are happy to contribute to that cause but not for on going maintenance. we are required to maintain our cabinet in person and petuity but i disagree with you on that. supervisor scott weiner: if the city would take back responsibility on maintenance of the trees, do you think they should take responsibility for the right-of-way. >> if the city should take p responsibility for the right-of-way. >> the answer is no. >> if you ask mr. bateman, that's what his opinion is. wean in -- supervisor scott weiner: in terms of the murals. i understand you have your warranty
