good afternoon, chair yee, and commissioners. i am kathy deluca, the project coordinator for walk sf. so first, i'll start with the senior and disability work group. so this group forms in -- formed in 2016, and ad vocates from several departments came together and decided we needed to do something. it wasn't okay that two was killed. we knew that market was a high injury corridor. so we quickly formed this group, and we actually rallied together and made some changes. we were able to get leading pedestrian intervals on market street after we joined together. we got better turn restriction signage because we know on the safer market street project there are a lot of turn restrictions, and is it ae confusing -- and it's confusing, and we were also involved in the city driver training, so we've been getting a lot of good things accomplished together. the city has been putting in a lot of protected bike lanes, which is really good, but there are a lot of consequences, and so we got a group together to talk about this. basically, whe

i'm commissioner norman yee, and i will be chairing today's meeting. i am joined by commissioner aaron peskin and commissioner kathrin stefani will be joining us in a few minutes. the committee clerk is albertoquintanilla, and the staff would also like to acknowledge the staff of sfgov tv who record each of our meeting and make the recordings available on-line. mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? >> clerk: no announcements. >> supervisor yee: okay. we have to silence our phones or anything? our cell phones? before i call the first item, i want to say a few words. the vision zero of the transportation committee meets quarterly, but recently, there's been a gap of -- with meetings, so i'm happy to be back on track for the new fiscal year, and hopefully, we'll just get back into our quarterly meetings and be a lot more productive in the coming years -- or coming months. then, vision zero's not about bulb outs and red curbs. vision zero is about, really, people in this case. all san francisco residents and visitors have the right to transverse our ci

. >> good afternoon, chair safai, supervisors yee and stefani.olidarity to support my sisters and brothers of the commission and urge to you reappoint all two of them, as the items are called today. i value both commissioner richards and commissioner moore. the roles on the commission are very important. dennis with his lgbtq background is valued as well aztec. he's objective, logical and fair. i also highly value commissioner moore, with her european background and architectural design, she is experienced, thorough and detailed. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you, commissioner. next speaker. >> rick hall, cultural action network. we have a very good balanced, planning commission at this time. knowledge and experience, people with judgment that are reasoned and fair and recognize that planning is not just about buildings, but about people and community. both commissioner richards and moore exceed my expectations in all of those areas. commissioner richards is well-read, always brings new information to commissioner comment that is relevant

would like to just call out the committee, the budget and finance committee, the vice chair sandy fewer, supervisor yee, supervisor stefani. i also want to recognize supervisor sheehy because he had a significant role in shaping this as well. jon givner, our deputy city attorney giving fantastic advice. i say a fantastic sparring partner when you spar with him, and ben rosenfeld, who has been our rock. he gives solid and sound advice. and kelly kirkpatrick, a wonderful woman who stepped up in the absence of melissa whitehouse and has now been donned the queen of the budget -- budget team. i also want to recognize harvey rose because harvey rose is a critical entity in the process of the budget because he takes out the politics, and he just goes straight to the numbers and goes straight to the crux of the issue, and he squeezes, sometimes bloods comes out of this process, but he squeezes dollars and cents that allows us to begin the discussion on how we can add to the budget priorities laid out by the mayor's office. so harvey rose, thank you, you have been fantastic, the consummate professional, and i

yee. >> thank you, chair and members of the committee. good morning. i am with the economic workforce development, just to provide a very brief sort of overview of this process. this is a unique process to san francisco and something that this is now the fourth time that this type of resolution has been considered by the board this year. in 2016, the state legislature adopted sb1285, authored by then senator leno to create a new affordable, nontransferable restaurant liquor license for businesses located in some target commercial corridors, including the sunset, excells your and ocean avenue, and visitation valley, hopefully i mentioned all of them. and there are five licenses that were up for issuance in an application process and drawing that happened late last year. again, this is the fourth of those five to come forward for a certification of the completion of preapplication outreach. so this is before the consideration of the full liquor license application by the a.b.c. and the potential applicant who is selected from that drawing process has to

through the chair, to supervisor -- to supervisor yee, so yes, that is why i had to thank the controller's office and the mayor's budget office because they did figure out a way, they presented the arts coalition different options, and they all had different scenarios. this has a very minuimal one. but essentially the way they were able to build in the extra room to fund new services was by taking what the natural hotel and tax revenues, which was, correct me if i am wrong, about 4.5% each year. so we were able to take that projected growth over time and take that to use it to fund cultural districts. so there is a very minimal impact but it's nowhere near what it would have been when prop s was there, which combined arts and homeless

. >> commissioner johnson: good afternoon, chair safai, supervisors stefani and yee.thank you so much for hearing me today. i am incredibly honored to have been renominated by the mayor to the san francisco planning commission, and i am excited to express my qualifications and desire to serve. i was just here a few months ago, but i think it's important for members of the public to hear my story. my passion for public service is inspired by my family and specifically my mother who worked hard to give me the best of everything, even when it was hard to make ends meet. she believed that getting a good education was the best gift she could give me, so when it came time to give me the gift of school, she did her research and moved just a few blocks away where the best school was. it was in that moment where i decided that i wanted to find ways to make sure that everyone who live s in cities has the opportunities that my mother worked hard to give me. a few career highlights, in college, i majored in social justice studies is did my senior thesis on the legacy of red linin
