chair kim: can you remind me again. i know we went over this last month, but with the fta grant, when will we have final confirmation? >> we do have notice of a war, it just has not been executed. we're working on the timing and process for all of that. director ortiz: dtx preliminary. at the last sentence you say in addition to the budget excludes costs associated with advanced preliminary engineering should new revenues be found. should that 400 for this project, would it cover that? >> no, the 400 million is funding the train box, but not actually funding in the engineering or continuation for the downtown extension. >> ok. director ortiz: ok. >> any other questions from directors? chair kim: i do appreciate the detailed budget narrative that accompanied the budget itself and very helpful to get an explanation of the planned revenues that have not yet been committed. it seems to be a good balance of what we've been able to put forward in knowing much of the revenue that is coming in is very helpful. a motion to appro

kim: thank you, supervisor wiener. supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: thank you, chair.thank you for scheduling this item to be heard. this is a policy statement going to the voters, and it is in support of the constitutional amendment that would overturn citizens united and also look at addressing corporate personhood. and i have some talking points. so, we live in a world of trickle-down economics with tax breaks for the wealthy, diminishing union power, and privatization of the public realm. we're witnessing the greatest concentration of wealth in more than a century. this concentration of wealth is playing havoc with our democratic institutions. on january 21, 2010, the u.s. supreme court ruled in a case called citizens united versus the federal election commission the corporations of the same rights as people. this ruling flies in the face of common sense. we know that corporations do not breed. we know that corporations do not give birth, go to war, or pledge allegiance to our flag. in many cases, they do not even pay their fair share of taxes. but under citizens u

chair kim:"xn seeing none, the meeting is adjourned. >> thank you for being here.want to thank the young people for being here, because you are the future. there are going to be things in this building and you are going to see that are not normal in those buildings yet. they are cutting edge, but by the time it you are my age, everybody is going to have this stuff, and you will be some of the first to see it. it is great to have you here. really quickly, this is a building we are proud of, because this is really who epitomizes the value in san francisco. it uses a third less power than a normal office building. it saves money. i want to kick it off by introducing the mayor over his career he has have so many different figures on this building from being the administrator to being the mayor, so this is a welcome thing. phyfe good morning, everybody -- >> good morning, everybody. i have got the same eyes as you today. this is the first time i have stepped into this building as well. everything you see is going to be the same as for me. i am going to last questions, -

supervisor wiener: thank you, chair kim, and colleagues for giving me the opportunity. perspectives on the disagreement about housing, i think most if not all of us can agree that we have a housing crisis and a housing affordability crisis. although we have different perspectives of how to get to the end goal, i think we very much want to have a city where the diversity of our population across income levels are able to stay here and thrive and raise families and be contributing members of our community. much to the maersk credit, one of his top priorities from the moment that he took office was to make sure that we have sustainable funding for affordable housing in san francisco, and particularly with the demise of redevelopment, the urgency was renewed. i want to give a lot of credit to the mayor and the mayor's staff and the mayor's office of housing for really moving this process forward. but even now want to give extra credit to the mayor and colleagues for recognizing that affordable housing is one piece, a major piece of the puzzle in terms of housing, but it is

i know chair kim is in the process of crafting legislation that could do with this. i have some thoughts i would like to present as we move forward. after my years of service, i have ideas that might help us reach this incredibly important need. supervisor campos: one of the things we have seen, in terms of how the issue of affordable housing is still with by the planning commission, is that, quite frankly, there has been a failure of tracking the extent to which the approval of one project adds or subtracts from meeting our obligations. what office requested that the budget and legislative analyst do a review of the issue of affordable housing, among other things. one of the things that was pointed out is the fact that, as you approve individual projects, you at the planning commission have not really been tracking where the approval or disapproval of lead, in terms of meeting those obligations. that is where the idea of the dash board came in. i wonder if you can speak to that. how did we get to that point? you have served on the commission. that was one of the def

chair kim: directors, any questions? >> yeah. i do not know if this is for you or nancy. the are we getting enough from the value recapture? if you look at all the different value recapture mechanisms that are in place? and does this tell you anything -- does this tell us anything we did not know? >> yes, it does two things. one is that it does support and maybe go beyond what we had been assuming for the property values that we have been projecting. so the work that the group has done on the past to give us the values on the properties. in fact, when we talk about the premiums in the things that were incorporated into the condo sales prices that led us to the individual values that we expect to achieve, it supports that and beyond. >> ok, so i am interested in the "and beyond." >> i think to answer your question more particularly, we looked very carefully at the word that we have done for the tjpa in terms of land values and property values, and this study parallels the kinds of premiums we have been anticipating as part of the residential and office premiums that have b

supervisor kim: that afternoon, and welcome to our special rules committee for monday, july 16. i am the chair of the meeting. i am jane kim. i am joined by supervisor mar ferrell and supervisor campos. also joined by one of the co- sponsors of our first item, supervisor scott wiener. are there any announcements? >> please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices. make documents included as part of the file. these will appear on the july 24 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. supervisor kim: thank you. item number 1. >> charter amendment to amend the charter of thisqcity and county of san francisco by adding a section 16.110 to create a san francisco housing trust fund by setting aside general fund revenues beginning in fiscal year 2013-2014 and ending in fiscal year 2042-2043 to create, acquire, and ribble it affordable housing and promote affordable homeownership programs in the city. and lower and stabilize the backs of affordable housing regulatory imposition of a private residence projects and to authorize the development of up to 30,000 affordable rent

. >> madam chair and a supervisor kim, on the bottom of page three, we point out the master lease budgett-of-living adjustment for each of these residential hotels. but those moneys were not appropriated for the 3% in the past three fiscal years, unlike this fiscal year or the board of supervisors has appropriated it. as a result, the actual nine- tend through a 11-12 please of expenditures are about $2 million less than budget. our recommendation as stated on page 4, we recommend you approve the proposed resolution and specifically for the items cited on page 4 of our report, which includes a reduction by $2 million from $93 million to $91 million for the cost i just referenced and you approve the resolution as amended. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor kim: i have one question for the budget analyst. and of the board was unable to allocate a call for any of our nonprofit contract in this year we were able to allocate to the mayor's budget a 1% cola starting in july of this year and another 1% starting in august through the board. does that mean the coal being approved for this cont

meeting so that more people have an opportunity to participate in the discussions and the chair of the committee, jane kim specifically said that she would like the commission not wait any longer on providing information to the public in languages other than english and there is examples of that from the los angeles commission about how they do that. thank you very much. >> hello, commissioners, my name is michael, and i'm a person with age and a little bit of history. i am alive in part because of freedom of information act requests filed in the 1980's before we even had the drug a.z.t.. filed to find out about clinical trials on experimental drugs at the national institutes of health. once we had the information, we were then able to look for the similar drugs for sale either in europe or down in mexico. i mention this because for me, sunshine, open government, access to public records, and enforcement of the laws for those public foyers is a life and death matter in some situations. having said that, i would like to address the terrible undermining of the sunshine ordinance task force by supervisor sco
