president chiu: supervisor daly? supervisor daly: this is not the only way to put together a process that relies on the board rules and robert's rules. one way is to not read a new process, which is what i thought we should have done last week, because i said as soon as we have gone down this path, we will get into this debate, and we are going to disagree on the issues, and people who know procedure are going to be able to hold up the ideas, and we are going to get to the point where we get into the evening, and we are still not going to have had the discussion of the mayor's qualities and attributes the real looking for in a success of mayer, and through the chair, supervisor note -- looking for another major -- mayaor, and through the chair, a supervisor -- through the chair, supervisosr alitoto-pier, we are not going to have a successive -- successor mayor, and the next board will be stuck with it, and i think it will be a disaster. if we want to make an appointment, i would strongly encourage supervisor alioto-p

[bell] president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i do not care much about the process and how you people elect the mayor. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i did not care about how we appoint the mayor. president chiu: think you. next? >> i did not have an opinion on this until hearing this. but each supervisor take one month to keep the power of the mayor in the board of supervisors and the public functions and that sort of thing. president chiu: next speaker. >> i am from the tender morning -- tenderloin. i normally do not talk too much. i tried to let you live by your own counsel. i think i have been going to these meetings for 10, 11, 12 years now, in this is the first time i've heard these comments, and it is powered me to get up here. there is something that is far more important. hovel -- it is very difficult. there were a number of candidates that got $40,000, several of them. this is like $100,000 per vote. this seems a little excessive. president chiu: are there any more members of the public who

president chiu: supervisor? supervisor avalos: i added up all the percentages of the city properties that are in favor, that are all in favor, of course, because we asked the city properties to vote in favor of the c.b.d. i got 20.69%. could be an" error in there, i don't think so. and i added up all

president chiu: thank you. first speaker. >> [speaking foreign language] ladies and gentlemen, my name is -- i am here to tell every one of you happy holiday and happy thanksgiving. i wish to remind our supervisors as i asked them last week about the poor people who need turkeys. one person at a birthday. as you see in my letter. today, she is becoming 50 your -- year old. i asked her about coming to san francisco. i can give her the key issue except to be mayor. she knows more than gavin newsom. i know that we need someone like her. i wish him good luck. everyone who asks must shake hands with other. happy new year. supervisor, getting turkeys and delivering them to the homeless. we buy turkey for the homeless, and someone take it for themselves. i want to thank those for giving the children of my city gifts and toys. [bell] thank you, and happy holidays. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> do not give money to the foundation, and do not take money from the foundation. there are the full dimensions of

president chiu: supervisor? supervisor avalos: i added up all the percentages of the city properties that are in favor, that are all in favor, of course, because we asked the city properties to vote in favor of the c.b.d. i got 20.69%. could be an" error in there, i don't think so. and i added up all the private property owners that are supportive and they are 19% of the total area of the crnd, all together, that's 40% of the c.b.d. i'm concerned about the predominance of the city property as part of it, although this has been a very, very difficult process to get support for the c.b.d. with the local economy. i think it's been difficult to convince people to be supportive because many of them are struggling businesses, many are them are actually doing okay, too, that are managing to get by, wouldn't say okay, but are managing to get by despite the economy and have been opposed. i do want to support this moving forward. i do believe that once we see what the benefits of the community benefits district are going

president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is susan and i want to -- and i'd like to state that the interim mayor should be somebody who is honest, who is nondiscriminatory and keeps the welfare of the senior citizens in mind when they're passing legislation. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you. i would remind folks again, this is public comments on whether or not we should sit as a committee as a hold to hold a public hearing on taking nominations in appointing a successor mayor in the event of a vacancy in the office of the mayor. next speaker, please. >> i'm yolanda salazar. good afternoon, supervisors i've been a longtime resident here of san francisco. we need a mayor that is honest and trustworthy and connected with the seniors. sometimes we are ignored sometimes. we do need some help in our neighborhood. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> i'm here to make a message. i think i can do it in 10 minutes -- i mean, two minutes, to tell you about my interpretat

president chiu: supervisor campos? supervisor campos: what language specifically are they referring to? >> with regard to the six-vote threshold? supervisor campos: what page? what line? >> page two, a nominee receives at least six votes until the underlying items are continued tabled or filed by at least six votes of the board. those would generally be procedural motions that would normally require a majority vote for those present rather than six. that is on page two under nomination procedures, item three. the last sentence under item 3 refers to the continuing or tabling of an item by six votes rather than a majority vote of those present. supervisor daly: so that would be my motion, a motion to amend supervisor elsbernd's motion. president chiu: so it is my understanding that supervisor daly wants to keep intact those that do not require that. i think there are four, that nominations be made one at a time -- supervisor daly: point of order, could you go line by line? supervisor elsbernd: -- president chiu: and the

commissioner chiu: thank you. ladies and gentlemen, could you please join me for the pledge of allegiance? colleagues, i just want to mention as far as the agenda today, given that this is the last meeting of 2010 and we have a lot of items, what i would like to propose is that we go through the consent agenda, moving to local hiring, and given how many people are here with regards to the america's cup, we move to that item and proceed through the rest of the calendar until our 3:00 p.m. special orders and moved to our 3:00 p.m. special orders, including the discussion of its potential nomination around an interim there. why don't we move to the meeting minutes? you should have copies of your november 9 and november 16 meeting minutes. motion by supervisor mirkarimi to approve. without objection, this meeting minutes will be approved. are there any communications? if you could read the consent agenda, items one through 16. >> items 1 through 16 comprise the consent agenda. the items will be acted upon by a single

president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> president chiu, you're asking us whether we think this body should pick the next mayor, and i say yes, absolutely. the duly elected powers that god put here and a special election also would cost a lot of money. and i would like to say that i think john avalos should be recommended for mayor, because he license to kpfa. kpfa -- no, really, it's very fair. there's a lot of things i disagree with on kpfa, but if he listens -- i'm going to tell you something. last year i learned about this third building that fell. kpfa is the radio station, 94.1, that convinced the guy that i heard, who's an architect here, richard gauge, he was explaining this to me, and i said, whoa, you know. he was convinced by a guy named david ray griffin on kpfa. he now has this huge organization that is calling for a real 9/11 investigation. so we do want someone that's fair. and you seem like a fair fellow listening to him. i would also like to say that if you don't consider him -- i don't know

supervisor chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> mr. president, 1984, i'd ask -- i asked willie brown in sentences go to come here and run for mayor, and a couple of years later, he took my advice and became mayor. before he left, he found someone to cover his mistakes and anything wrong he did. he could not have found anyone weekly more than gavin newsom. we still have more homeless in the city. if we need to have a mayor, a new mayor for my city, he must show us what brand he makes to clean the city. we need another new tourist to come in. the tourists give $30 million if you do not remember every year to the city. now, the tourists coming make big trouble for the homeless who sleep outside city hall. ladies and gentlemen, we need to be strong. man or woman, does not matter who is going to be our mayor, but i agree with many of our supervisors that the city still has homeless, and many of them come from other states, other cities. we need jobs and taurus and to clean our -- we need jobs and tourists and to clean our city, and we need

president chiu: supervisor daly? supervisor daly: i think supervisor elsbernd's proposal falls on its face if you look at what is before us. let's say supervisor chiu does get nominated. supervisor avalos gets nominated, and then it comes around to supervisor mar, who does what supervisor elsbernd says, that he sees that it is in his interest to decline the nomination. nominees go off. there is not six votes in the room for anyone nominated. there is a motion to reopen nominations. supervisor mar can make that motion. if that motion passes, there is nothing at that point from prohibiting somebody to try it again with the nomination of supervisor mar, and this time, he takes it and exits and is elected mayor of san francisco. but the way, the process as proposed by the clerk, supervisor elsbernd says to put conflict of interest first. i do not think it does that and invites more. especially when i think there are interested parties wanting to get out without a decision made. i think that we have a very dangerous situa

president chiu: same house, same call? this is passed on the first reading. >> to list the officials of economic interests -- a list of employees. president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. >> item 44 is a resolution of the lawsuit filed on january 28 in 7 it is superior court. president chiu: same house, same call. >> resolution of a lawsuit filed by charles haynes. president chiu: this ordinance is passed on the first reading. >> authorizing settlement of a lawsuit filed on october 2, 2009 in san francisco superior court. president chiu: this is passed on the first reading. >> amending the administrative code to extend the operation of the voting systems taskforce. president chiu: this ordinance is passed of the first reading. >> approving the settlement of the unmitigated claim by the motorist insurance group for approximately $49,000. president chiu: this resolution is adopted. >> items 49-51 were considered and forwarded. item 49 is adding 15.7 to the police cohan, requiring promoters to register.

supervisor chiu: ok. one of the things i want to know is it appears that we were taking out quarterly reporting requirements in the proposed legislation, at least according to what we received from the city attorney. i will pause that as a question to you. "will pose -- i will close that as a question to the rest of the staff and perhaps we can address that later on. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am alaric. i work for the hrc. as was mentioned before, we will do a presentation which is kind of abbreviated, which talks about the lbe program reporting as well as proposed amendments. i want to briefly before i start, with regards to the reporting requirement changes that supervisor chiu mentioned -- we did not extract the requirements in the ordinance. what we're doing is changing the date from which it would start. it would be 90 days from the passage of the legislation, not a reduction of the reporting. i think to the contrary, we began doing as an agency and as a city is try to make the process ever m

supervisor chiu: thank you. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed. if we could now go to our adoption without committee reference calendar. >> items 29 through 34 are for adoption without committee reference. these items will be acted upon by a single roll call vote. if a member requests discussion of an item, it shall be called separately and the matter discussed. supervisor chiu: any items to be discussed separately? supervisor daly: 32. supervisor chiu: yes, and i think we should also consider items 33 and 34 as well. could we call the roll on items 29, 30, and 31? >> on items 29, 30, and 31, avalos aye. campos aye. chiu aye. chu aye. daly. aye dufty aye. elsbernd aye. mar aye. maxwell aye. mirkarimi aye. alioto-pier aye. there are 11 ayes. supervisor chiu: those resolutions are adopted. item 32. >> item 32 is a motion that the board of supervisors hold a public hearing on december 7, 2010, to consider an acquisiti

supervisor chiu: -- of course, we will. supervisor chiu: thank you, cmdr. are there any members of the public that wish to speak on this item? >> supervisors, my name is san francisco [inaudible] whenever we get grants and they are applied directly to maintain standards, the consider and of san francisco is appreciated. what we would like to see in the southeast sector is empirical data on those that commit crimes linked to our children. and i know that this grant does not specifically address that, but it does address cold cases. another thing that i am willing to state to the command group that is under growing -- undergoing and other changes, is that we need to have very high standards to make up for what has been going on at the crime lab. i do not know how you or the supervisors, the future mayor, think about the crime lab. i and my subjective opinion, we need to move. any laboratories that are at hunters point, that toxic cesspool over there, it needs to be moved away. if we want to have something built at mission bay, we need a time line so that all

president chiu: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, my name is mia white the coordinator at the brunel heights. we're not really endorsing any candidates, of course. but as far as qualities, we would like to have someone that has the greater good of the people of san francisco in mind and not just business owners or property owners. also, somebody that's very conscious about a need for a sustainable environment, so our future generations have something to look forward to. and also, a candidate that is -- prioritizes equity. like in the budget process for public education as well as the endorsing strong committee values. there's a lot of committee groups out here that are doing a lot of work. for you guys to be aware of them and to back what they're doing. ultimately it's going to be the people of san francisco that are actually implementing changes for the city and creating the city that we want. so to be very aware of what the people want is what we're looking for. thank you. president chiu: thank you.
