we have had strains developed with colleagues in the planning commission where the building inspection department and by extension this commission's confidence or integrity have been questioned. this has to stop. we need away forward where we are working closely with commission colleagues and respective staffs to uncover the source of these problems and develop remedies required to fix them. to this end, i recommend we schedule a joint planning commission meeting to review all major cases which have brought attention to failures in both our systems and the course forward on these to ensure they are now properly monitored and recommend des strictly enforced. we need to do this because systematic failures can be exploited again and again. we should not be naive to think these were the only instances of wrongdoing. we share the goal of making bad actors and making it hard for those following the rules. we need to know that we are addressing them firmly but consistently and fairly. i ask we set up such a joint building, planning meeting at the earliest possible date to explore these issues

francisco hispanic chamber of commerce, board of examiners for the building inspection, san francisco city hall preservation commission. she has served as a member of the port land used an advisory board. this is a lot of volunteer work. one of her primary goals in life has been to do whatever she can do to improve the quality of life for others and especially for latino business, latino families, and latino residents. through community activism and coalition, and encouraging young people to get out there and step into leadership, and use the power of voting. she has developed positive and powerful voices here in san francisco as a role model to many, and in 2010, she led the effort in reconstituting that san francisco latino democratic club with community input in supporting latino candidates based on criteria, rather than external politics. so we love that you're running julian. in 2012, she established the latino historical society as a reaction to the latino history and because of documentation of its historical assets, we were left out of the rezoning of the mission district. not anymore though. in 2017, a san fr

if it was the department of building and six -- inspection of the planning commission to have their own statement of incompatible activities. that would be incumbent on their hr team and their appointing officer to review that. if we see that that review was not undertaken, and maybe it's an advanced written determination. we will call into question what the department review process was. i think if work is similar, but it doesn't involve any of the same clients, it doesn't affect our schedule. those things are not going to be found incompatible. a more clear and present example is we have a lot of physicians, nurses, social workers, in public health, that also have practices outside of the city. maybe they meet with clients on the weekend. one of the things we have worked with the department of public health on his having the employees, when they are submitting their additional request forms also complete a non- conflict addendum to it, that none of my clients are going to be, or ever will be department of public health clients. anyone that i see in my private practice will never be a

building inspection back on the 12th, with three other sheets. and i'm going to give it again because i think i want to emphasize that i think what's been talked about by you and by the building commission has been triggered by illegal demolitions or what people think are illegal dem lugses. and i think that what needs to happen is you need a definition that happened at intalk so you don't have demolitions and i think one definition should be total tearing down of a building and the second should follow section 317 with a little more not as liberal as it is. it needs to be adjusted and you can do that any time according to 317. so here are the four sheets and just to remind you what they are. one is this memo i just read from 2007. the other is the section 103 spaciou103afrom the building cod demolition without permit and 106 explains what they think is a de demolition and dbi sheet dd june 2015. so that's kind of what i think. i hate to belabou belabor it bun be adjusted. it may not solve all problems but something that should be done based on the fact that the value in the rh1 has steadily been changed over the last five years. and i think they're linked. i hope you read the memo and
