chiu chiu is the author i presume he's on his way down now. can you call the office? actually madam clerk why don't we have a quick item instead of item 2 call item 3 and we'll take item 2 next >> item 3 the resolution exempting certain locations from the police irregularity arcadia. >> i along with the supervisor breed are the co- authorizes it comes up when we discover outdated and odd code sections and basically, what this b will do is allow self businesses one in supervisor breed's district and one in my that are attempting to expand and this he - we have a police code section that dramatically restricts arcadia games in neighborhoods districts by denying them as used babylon depending on on the square footage you can only have a small number of arresting can do games this goes back to the day with arcadia games led to no good behavior or something like that. we know there's a lot of great businesses that can use arcadia in creative ways. so the plod code section allows the board of supervisors to eliminate that square footage limitation. and this this elective would do that with the neighborhood commercial district. so that will allow those businesses to install up to 10 arcadia games. the reason it can only gossip to 10 there's a different police section and other sections saying the arresting can do took place concern sections those are limit the number of arresting can do games citywide to 10. this will not impact that limit. i know that as supervisor breed's aid will mention we're working on legislation to deal with that so i want to bring up mr. johnson from supervisor breed's office to add >> thank you chair wiener. i'm with the supervisor breed's office. i want to reiterate what the chairman said. the fundamental problem is the police code treats the arresting cads amazement as slot machines like in the 1930s. so supervisor breed is work with supervisor scott wiener and the police department working on the interim would ask for you to exempt one business in district 5 and okay. if there's no questions or comments we'll move to. i will say for the record i'll be offering a small amendment to item 3 specifically on the first page line 24 it currently states are more than 10 music sxiez with up to that's a draft error in the resolution. any public comment on item 3 >> please fix this item the only game in town. in the city we're going to change fix the the only game in town game. wouldn't you wouldn't you. fix the game in the city in the arcadia in the game ambassador fix the the only game in town game. and in the item it's like a city at play on a sunny day we're going to come out out okay. it's the game, game, game and that is for the item plays a mean pinball. thank you >> thank you. any any public comment on that item? on item 3 seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor kim >> thank you and i apologize mr. george but i have a quick question by the way, i support in legislation i want to know why you exempt 16 something walling in her exempting you were market transit district is there a reason not to go through an area plan. >> thank you sxrifr you're our office and supervisor wiener are working on a broader version in the interim we feel it will provide another exempt for the outreach. >> so in the long-term you're looking at a broader version. >> yeah, we'll be working with the planning code and police code. >> i understand we need to move forward with this. >> he ultimate amendment will allow for more than 10 arcadia games as opposed to the current law restriction to 10. >> so colleagues the minor amendments can we have a motion to adapt that amendment. okay we'll take that without objection. the amendment is adapted and could i have a motion to forward to the full board with as a committee report >> we'll take that without objection. that will be the order. thank you, colleagu thank you, colleagues okay amy caan is here >> item 2 please and item 2 is a resolution authorized the rec and park department to accept a grant. >> good afternoon xrifrz. supervisor chiu is in route to the committee meeting i'm going to start speaking on his behalf so supervisor chiu asked for the grant. and the resolution will allow the rec and park department to accept one $.5 million from the knob hill foundation to carry out the hill project there are representatives from the rec and park department that will be presenting but essentially the project entails the replacement of a children's playground and the hunting park to maintain a wonderful park for the residents to enjoy and it's been driven by the committee members and volunteers and over the course it worked with rec and park department to get the scombut from our neighborhood and raise the funds for the implementation felt project. it's been a community effort. i'm going to ask abigail from the rec and park department to give more detailed presentation and the supervisor will be asking for requests for the resolution a little bit later >> okay. thank you very much. so rec and park now >> good afternoon. my

. >> president supervisor chiu chiu is the author i presume he's on his way down now. can you call the office? actually madam clerk why don't we have a quick item instead of item 2 call item 3 and we'll take item 2 next >> item 3 the resolution exempting certain locations from the police irregularity arcadia. >> i along with the supervisor breed are the co- authorizes it comes up when we discover outdated and odd code sections and basically, what this b will do is allow self businesses one in supervisor breed's district and one in my that are attempting to expand and this he - we have a police code section that dramatically restricts arcadia games in neighborhoods districts by denying them as used babylon depending on on the square footage you can only have a small number of arresting can do games this goes back to the day with arcadia games led to no good behavior or something like that. we know there's a lot of great businesses that can use arcadia in creative ways. so the plod code section allows the board of supervisors to eliminate that square footage limitation.

chiu can do check ins, i'm willing to withdraw my amendment. >> supervisors campos? >>supervisor david campos: thank you. it's been a very interesting discussion. i want to thank supervisor chiu and yee for all the work gone into this. i do support this legislation. let me say that i support it primarily because i have heard from a number of tenant advocates who believe that this legislation could be used as a tool thigh it makes sense to see that happen. i do share concerns that i don't know if this legislation will end up doing much and i don't know if people will take advantage of it to the extent that you are talking about people having their property values reassessed if they go through process. i don't know how many people will end up choosing to do that. but i'm willing to take the chance to see if this would work but i have a concern in the end that not much will come out of this. >> supervisor avalos? >>supervisor john avalos: are we voting on the amendment? >> any discussion on the e. manet. to -- amendment. if this amendment passes it will go back to the planning commission? >> that's right. if the amendment is adopted it will require the material under the charter the planning code modifications this amendment would both prohibit legalization in hr 1 and rh 1d in rh 2 and 3 zoning district that it requires additional planning review. >>supervisor john avalos: i believe there is a withdrawal of the motion? >> if supervisor chiu builds in language to assure to look at check in points that i'm willing to withdraw my amendment. >> supervisor yee if i can read the language in the requirement, that there is a point every year and every six 6 months for the first 3 years after the effective date. the zoning administrator and the director of the inspection shall issue a report on the dwelling unit during this program and after 3 years the report will include in the city's housing report and screening forms and building permit applications filed for the first 3 years copies of this report will be submitted to the board and the mayor and controller. when you say what can we do to strengthen this, i'm open to hearing sfrugsz -- suggestions from you on that. if we want to hear a report, that might be appropriate. i'm happy to get feedback from you on what you consider appropriate to do that. >> i think to have a hearing would be appropriate. >> so at the end of 1 year and at the end of 2 years? >> end of 1 year, end of

chiu? chiu: i support this and i don't support and i don't believe we are achieving what it is set to achieve on this motion. >> can we take supervisor wiener's motion without objection? okay. so moved. on supervisor yee's amendment as amended. supervisor tang? next on the roster? we have supervisor yee's motion now to amend for rh 1d and it's been amended and approved by the full board by supervisor wiener and taken discussion on that 1st amendment by supervisor yee. >>supervisor katy tang: no comment on the amendment. >> supervisor cohn? >>supervisor malia cohen: you mentioned there were not many units in an rh 1d zone. how do you know that and if you can identify your source? >> just from a few conversations i have had and i do not have the data on that. >> is there a particular staff that i can follow up with to find the answer? >> no. >> okay. thanks. >> supervisor avalos was next? >>supervisor john avalos: i took my name off the roster. do we want to vote on the amendment. >> discussion on the amendment. we have two amendments offered by supervisor yee. let's go with that amendment now. supervisor kim? >>supervisor jane kim: thank you. i want to speak on the amendment before us. i sympathize with the amendment that supervisor yee moved forward. we did get a few e-mails from others from regarding rh 1d to remove this from legislation. i don't spupt at support that because i don't believe there is a reason for this legislation. if we were able to get an actual physical reason, policy reason about the type of residential housing that makes it difficult for them to legalize it would make sense. this is purely coming from a motion that the neighborhood would like to see and i think it's completely reasonable for supervisor yee to make that request on behalf of the residents that he represents. i think that's where that comes from. on the second motion that supervisor yee has moved forward i do plan on supporting a pilot program. i actually appreciate the work that has gone into a path way to legalize in law units. it's something that has vexed the city for decades and it's clearly a source of income for many single family home owners and d, a source of affordable units here in san francisco. however, i have a lot of concerns about the legislation that is being introduced in having unintended consequences and mine is a scenario that i brought up at land use committee which again is that as we know many of the tennants that live in in law units has been as articulated as a shadow economy and therefore because of that probably more affordable tend to be our most vulnerable residents, non-english speaking and able to live in these units because they are affordable. i'm concerned for property owners go through the process of spending the money and then pay more property taxes and not be able to raise the rent on their tennants that many people won't opt in this program. yes, there is a pathway, but nothing in here to ensure that any home owners opt into this program. the only home owners wanting to legalize and hope the tennants don't report it to the rent board because it's an illegal unit and they won't be prohibited by the 10-year no fault eviction provision that was carefully put into this legislation. a pilot would make me feel more comfortable. it would allow the legislation to move through and see who are the home owners who decide to opt into this program and are we incentivize the wrong behavior. if this is something that is successful, those that preserving affordable housing units and supporting the type of tennants that i heard about at land use committee, then this is of course legislation that i would support to make permanent. i think there has to be an incentive program, a stick or carat to get home owners to legalize their units and it's something i don't see in legislation. i think a lot of protections were put in and i appreciate the work put in to protect many of these tennants. i'm worried the tennants we are trying to protect are not protected by this legislation. those were just some of my thoughts on a motion. i won't be the supporting the first motion but i will support the second motion to amend. >> okay. if no further discussion we'll have a roll call vote to amend. >> can you clarify which. we have no. 1 and 2. city clerk: mr. chairman, the 2nd amendment made by mr. yee has not been motioned yet. we are taking the vote on the prohibition of rh 1 districts. >> are we voting on the amendment that exclude rh 1d? >> correct. >> okay. wanted to be clear. >> [roll call vote taken] city clerk: chiu, no, farrell, yes, kim, no, supervisor tang, aye, wiener, aye, yee, campos, there are 5 ayes and 5 no. >> that motion fails. >> can we have a motion? >> i want to thank supervisor yee for the time you spent on this. i understand the challenges that you have faced in your district. i have had conversations with many of constituents on this. colleagues, this is a pilot program that would not only exempt out major swaus of our city in rh 1 and 2. it would create a 50-unit limit. i think we can meet supervisor avalos in xelz yoer. let me take a moment to respond that some of the comments that supervisor kim has made that we should perhaps add more carrots or sticks to this legislation. we contemplated whether to make this a mandatory regime. the property is we don't know exactly what the cost are going to be to home owners and rather than enforcing home owners to legalize without being able to assist someone without incrementing we thought about this volunteer program which is almost a pi

chiu? chiu thank you colleagues. this is legislation that i introduced last november for applying to legal status to our city. i want to thank supervisors wiener and mar and breed for their cosponsorship. we know that we have families being pushed out of the city and shadow economy involving illegal unit. there were 20-30 thousand in laws building in 1960 and 90 percent of them were not permitted. there are 8,000 of them illegal. that represented 10 percent of our housing stocks. who lives in these units? they are tennants and the most vulnerable tennants, seniors and families with many children, immigrants and lowest income and longer term residents. these are units affordable but often the tends are in them have challenged legal rights. 40-5 percent who live in these units don't have written leases. for many years there has been a calling for legalization. the housing element stated secondary units are housing method for expanding housing supply. california state law has proetd -- promoted state in laws. the city has turned a blind eye to these in laws and the housing has permitted of these in laws based on complaints. which is why i year ago icon convenience -- convened a large table. the san francisco tennants union, the asian law caucus, the chinese development center and housing clinic and others. on property owner sides the housing realtors and citywide housing advocates, spur, livable cities and many city departments that did work on this among others. what i'm proposed today is very simple that we allow an owner to legalize one existing in law unit without additional permit or a citywide basis. that we wave local planning rules that don't deal with like safety so they don't need to meet additional open space requirements, no additional need to add parking and no additional need for zoning. it does not require exits and entrances, fire and plumbing and electrical, etc. there are really three fold purposes why we move forward with this is to bring 10s of thousands of units to propose housing that are at risk of elimination and keep vacant units off the market. secondly, we wanted to move forward with this legislation to protect tennants who live with fear and vulnerability with regard to their tenancy status. there are five things we are doing for tennants, protecting and assuring rent control status, and this legislation does not permit cost pass through for major capital improvements and doesn't allow for subdivisions and counter conversion, and if there is construction to be done, this requires relocation and reimbursement and permits legalization if there have been no fault evictions for the legal process to begin. third, is to help home owners and first and foremost we know these values will exist if rented. secondly we produce planning and zoning, and we create certainty and clarity as these owners of these buildings rent and we want to make this as easy as possible with a very small nominal fee to move forward with this process and prescreening process to allow owners to bring up to code without any fear of enforcement. let me close with a couple final comments, we heard at our land use committee a lot of comments. we heard from someone renting in law units from friends but at risk of being evicted because a neighbor complaining of enforcement. we heard from others who testify to ease which tennants can be evicted from these units and we heard from home owners tonya sullivan who kepd her in law unit in her home vacant knowing she can't rent it out but can use it to support the family if this law passes. it affects tennants like brian and tonya. we believe this proposal would create a physical legal pathway to bound both housing preservation and both. do you want to take a moment to acknowledge this year long process and complicated issue and we heard from complications from a number of neighborhoods in supervisor yee's district. my response is these units already exist in homes throughout the entire city and they house thousands of residents, we need an alternative to the status quo. doing nothing is not a real solution. now, i do understand there are some on the other hand who think this legislation doesn't go far enough. that by allowing legalization to be volunteer rather than mandatory, not enough property owners will come forward to legalize these units. i appreciate that is a perspective. my response is really, we need to take a first major step in moving forward and we need to understand what's going on and our legislation requires every 6 months so there is monitoring with regard to what is happening on the ground with regard to legalization so we can take a step forwards and think about legalizing in a mandatory way. i would like to thank the 5 of us who are cosponsors to this legislation and i would ask for your support. >> supervisor yee? >>supervisor norman yee: thank you. supervisor's chiu's legislation can make some laws safer by requiring building code standards. i would acknowledge that. my priority as a supervisor is to do everything possible to maintain families and including protecting family housing. i don't like the legislation would allow in law units to be legalized citywide across all zoning districts no matter when the units were built and no matter what the neighborhood wants or needs. i cannot support such a far reaching change that doesn't respect decades of our best thinking around zoning and neighborhood preservation. rewards, illegal behavior by allowing landlords who broke the city's law, a path to legalization. this legislation could have unintended consequences which are the opposite of what the goals of the legislations are. this includes displacement of tennants, increase in rent. encourage speculation. for the units that can't be utilized does not enforce it's own code. i would like to add to this legislation. i'm sorry i didn't put this all in 1 p

chiu it's something i would support. >> supervisor chiu and kim? >>supervisor jane kim: i want to appreciate the conversation again and appreciate the check in hearings that's been placed on the year and 2 years. of course i have the concern that i had articulated earlier but i acknowledge that as speculation as well as who will opt into program. i want to say that i absolutely hear what supervisor avalos is speaking of and we have home owners that depend on that type of income, while i'm not sure they will opt into this program because they are concerned about making those capital out lays. i hope the supervisors will follow up soon with an incentive program to help those home owners out. the cost of bringing up to code and by paying more property taxes without being able to raise the rent. i wouldn't want the property owner to do but it has very little incentive. i'm going support it that we will soon follow up with some type of incentive program. that supervisor avalos articulated which by i think incentivize the home owners that we would like to see opt into this program. i would like to thank everyone for their work on this and i know president chiu's office spent a lot of time on this legislation. >> supervisor chiu? >> just some closing comments. i want to thank all the members of the public and all the stakeholders and all the staff for your thoughts and work on this and i very much appreciate the concerns. i want to help supervisor avalos if you are thinking about going forward in a funding opportunity in terms of assisting owners to currently assisting owners with their building and safety requirements and it's something we need to do. frankly it was a difficult part of the conversation and we weren't able to figure that out and i very much hope that we will be able to work together through your office to do that and i want to take a moment to some of the points that supervisor tang raised in the fact that this legislation does not allow for cost for pass throughs by the owners and remergers except for those passed by the board under avalos leadership. the reason we absolutely considered those items but the concerns around for

chiu for this honor. as president chiu mentioned, this is equal payday. a little bit like global warming or climate change, there's people who don't believe it existing. gender pay in equity is something we need to fight for and aew has been at the forefront of that fight for decades. aew was there in 163 when kennedy signed the equal pay act. aew was there five years ago when president obama signed the sir pay age and aew was there in the white house with president obama when he signed those two executive actions that president chiu just referred to. president obama said that the gender pay in equity -- that gender pay back is an embarrassment. we all need to really reflect on that. how well is california doing? we're doing better than the rest of the country. 84 percent awesome. but for any one of us here who is lucky enough to have a job, would any of us would be happy with only 84 percent of our salaries? i don't think so. and we share this fight with many other organizations, the same findings that we shared with you in that summary booklet has been for policy research and for women and families. they have shared those families. aew is not the only organization that is fighting for this transition. our partners includes the emergency civil liberties union, the equal rights advocates, california women's law center, and gender justice. there's an effort to address this issue and i appreciate the acknowledgement today on gender payday. thank you all so much. i'd like to like to acknowledge our co-chair of public

chiu and others helped to identify the parks and the lack of accessibility. we want to focus on schools and i want to acknowledge supervisor chiu's legislation about water waste. so thank you to my co-sponsors supervisor chiu and supervisor campos for helping to co-sponsor this hearing request as well. i'm sure you're aware of from our vision zero hearing this week there was a terrible collision that was harming a 3-year-old on a bicycle on fulton this with or week the child was hit crossing the street and is in critical condition i've reached out to the family. this follows a recent collision at the golden gate park senior center. i little on fulton street people speed at the 50 to 60 miles per hour i see that everyday when i'm driving any child to school. we're working with a new police chief today, i'm announcing i'm working with the transportation authority to help to slow down traffic only fulton. we're working with the senior center and the playgrounds to come up with ideas to make sure we're doing short-term improvements to make fulton safer for families and seniors. and lastly one community leader that's also an artist and a spobz melissa anderson is having an important session with photograph. she

chiu, thanks for being here. >> good morning, chair and members of the committee, brian chiu the director of community development for the mayor's office of community development and i am here before you to make our annual presentation of our accept and spend resolutions for the four different federal funding sources that we administer and as you may recall, we put out an rfp for the community based organization to apply and to provide services and housing and develop housing, and back in november, we reviewed the proposals in early spring, and we held a public hearing in march so that the members of the community could comment on the recommendations and what we have before you are the final recommendations approved by the committee, and by the mayor's office. and as this is the third year, of a multiyear funding cycle that will remain unchanged from years one and two. and they do want to let you know that we did receive a decrease in a couple of our funding sources, so, our community development block grant, over all, decreased 3 percent, from 13, 14 to 14, 5 meaning that there was a $528 decrease in our federal

chiu. absent. supervisor cowen. supervisor farrell. absent. supervisor kim. absent. supervisor mar. supervisor tang. supervisor wiener. supervisor yee. and supervisor chiu on item 2 item passes. >> item passes. >> item 3 report this is an informational item. >> good morning, colleagues happy earth day i want to commend walk sf who participate in walk to workday on mark 8 i understand that -- excuse me. >> that was a cheer to right to ride day. >> already anticipating bicycle i understand that 5 seven hundred people took part and francis shay and i walked from the excelsior and enjoyed the walking see and smell and fresh and not so fresh air along fifth street and it was an important opportunity to be reminded about the need to insure there are safe and attractive walking routes. unfortunately, this recommender is as urgent as even the walk to workday was after the zero committee of the transportation authority that was held on april 1, '02 hours after a 3-year-old boy was hit in the richmond he's still roar from. i'm grateful to supervisor kim and supervisor yee and prefkt of that the community has come together and start delivering results we have a lot of work to do and but the signs of progress is encouraging. i also have to say there was another incident two people injured in my district on friday as well who are seriously injured from a car colliding with a mini stop so there's a lot of education to be had. i'm especially glad to see the sophisticated projects out of review and appreciate director reiskin and other head departments the transportation authority we're proud to make our resources available to help deliver projects across the city one example is the prop program that's to refund two really great projects the 1 is mcallister street both of which are on the walk first network i want to thank a couple folks and their staff wore working in the community to permitting prioritize two prop fund. as a reminder for the people prop w a funds are on the registration that the voter approved and finally speaking of transportation ability i want to thank john hayley and his staff who generously spent the afternoon to provide a tour of the transit district we >> offhand how they face the service each day among the crowded sfalts. we were struck by the investment of the katrero yard this houses our trolley cars. at the green yard their producing parts that are no longer available and they climb into pits to work on the under carnival. what was really impressive how much the muni staff are putting together resources to fix what should be minor problems if we had the up-to-date material. fortunately, we've been helping to address those needs and toured the metro east that's a more than facility that will oscillate the burdens of the yard and it will add storage for our to 60 foot couples and finally your central replacement fund will help with the fund to provide the transportation system for driving communication and vehicle reliability. thank you. again to the sfmta for making this possible and i look forward to having more improvements as we seek new transportation revenues in the fall this concludes my remarks. if there are no comments from colleagues we'll open this up for. and seeing none, we'll close public comment and move onto >> item 4 director's report an informational item. >> good morning kelly executive director my report is on your desk this month we begin are the recreational defeat the cap and interest trade at that heating up in the distribution of trade and cap resources that is different from the investigators proposal the investment in high speed rail where senator steven burger talks about other transportation. we'll be working hard with the counterpart to figure out how to best work with the santa fe san francisco needs across the state. transportation thirty discussions are continuing this month we've been doing outreach with sfmta to get the input from organizations the capital committee will look at the proposals at the may fifth meeting after which the board will continue the measures for the fall ballot the deadline is may 20th. we continue to work with city agencies an active application this is a reminderer for the walking and biking and will feature a non-infrastructure project coordinated with supervisor yee's office and other trail improvements before we so willed this i'll mention the ac p the active program they're going to apply for fund into in san francisco and the east bay. the zero vision committee i want to note the committee had a great meeting it was well attend and it talked about did role of the committee and the public involvement in the enforcement activity of the program the next meeting will be on june 8th and the mta draft list of 20 proposed projects is available for viewing on the website. we'll find a easy shortcut for the public soon. on the next several updates with a our project conditions with the state and local region level is the transit the ct c voted to have future state money into the project needs in order to complete the large project on time so the ct c delayed the program of $2 million for the chinatown brood study, however, we were able to keep the funds in the right time slot to be ready by working on a swap locally with dpw. those are some of the behind the scenes to make sure we're funded and it's a complex sort funding environmentalist and often challenges produce delivery and the traffic projects where our staff worked hard to wish work with the ata with the two-way operations that will not trigger the quality air we tried to get the funding and ran up against those to convert those projects to two ways with about the air quality and were able to get the funding identified. locally we're pleased to say that the urban tree guide the national and ushering guide is more available to the streets effort we want to thank caltrain's directors and secretary for their advocacy in turning this into the reality that the design guide is being implemented will be the reserve for san francisco and cities up and down the state of california. an example is for us sfmta will be able to critique circle tracks. another piece of good news the sfmta has adapted the transit effectiveness project and finishing the phase and the venice project is on your desk for both projects we're vshtd designs with our staff and trying to assure that each of those is reviewed we'll be holding an enter departmental meeting to finalize the outstanding issues around scope and cost and schedule and be bringing a report back on both projects. next, we want to drawing your attention to the yerba buena island ramp project the construction is under a way we're encountering an urban accepted challenge of north of birds on the island. we've identified this was anticipated with the environmental input report trying to cooperate with caltrain with the costs of working around the birds north site but if the north hablz continue there will be a delay so to offset that we're letting the contractor work on other parts we'll bring an update to see how we can work around this challenge. we're pleased and thank the board for speb the transportation authority as the agency this will help to implement the centerpiece of the transportation program which ask a center project those are fees for town hall and parking fees to support the bicycle on the oimd in addition, this includes followed out projects for the 28 line in addition to the m ocean project that has completed our procurement and we request a proposal so we began procurement we hope to get that going not spring the transit project continues with our advisory meeting on thursday 24 we'll meet to hear the sfmta project proposals as well as the infrastructure plan for the block development we're seeking a member to represent the enar he will side for the geneva seat go to sf.org and the bridge replacement project is moving forward a recent caltrain inspection of that bridge identified evidence of deterioration for emergency repairs so supervisor cowen said authorized the repairs to the bridge the repairs don't effect the traditional bye the bridge must be replaced so we're seeking a caltrain track plan to have that ahead of the local bridge program so we'll be doing outreach on the bridge project including at your seniors advisory meeting tomorrow night on 1455 market street on the condition of the status and the street vacation project to maximize contracting associated with those projects. tiger planning the good news on the transit front we're partnering with that on a large $3 million study we hope to receive grant fund from the federal government to look at the transmitting transbay and the connecting services from the recent adapted transportation plan and set up to prioritization and capacity improvements for consideration in the next regional transbay plan in 2017. on a related note i attend on update from tom and gras who presented at a recent breakfast event to the community both their plans to improve bart and for anyone who has taken bart those

chiu. at our rules committee we concerned the appoint it was our duty to appoint a member it was difficult i want to thank you president chiu and for her service as well. we are as the rules committee we're actually very lucky to have strong candidates it's good for the community there are people with expertise, however, because of victor's sensitive civil rights justice i want the board to consider a motion to promote him to the police commission. it conducted disciplinarian actions and i believe victor is the best candidate. we've heard about the extensive advocate for a champion for civil rights and on top of he has experienced the justice system as a attorney and the prosecution and defensive is an asset is and the and through the cases of the public defender he was on the shooting team investigating the police procedures and you criminal liberate and he's fought and has a record for the defendants and the plaintiff. this is the debt of knowledge and fairness to the position he will bring. i want to thank people who came to provide public comment during the rules committee. i was expressed about their commitment to protecting the community and his ability to work with all types of community. during my time on the board battling human trafficking is been addressed. this is a model program for the country. his expertise has helped with the are foreign consults and worked with the asian women's shelter and this is for human trafficking. he has prosecuted cases on folks and been an advocate for all community. he brings together coalitions he started the minority bar commission and started the equal justice society and served on the california state bar. in addition to his professional work and community service victor has mentored many and that's the personal accounts from his ment tests they have become excellent so again, i want to thank you for the opportunity to thank the police commission everyone has acknowledged your incredible work ethic and she's set the bar high. and through her regular work has been excellent. however, a candidate like victor we can't ignore the expertise and competed he's shown and the positive impact he's made on the community and sit back and do nothing we will be lucky to have him. victor previously applied to serve on the police commission in 2004 and in rules committee when there's more applicant we've encouraged applicant to reapply i want to give victor the opportunity to serve on the commission. with that, colleagues i'd like to request and make a motion and after consideration to appoint mr. wong to the police commission >> supervisor tang is making a motion to have victor's name on the vote. >> supervisor mar. thank you >> thank you president chiu i'd like to speak again that motion i don't feel that voting against the motion is i know directly of his incredible work i hope i've mentioned this to the mayor's office with the vacancy to fill carole king's seat that's a strong consideration but i'll speak in favor of angela's record i've known her for years not only in the chinese americans work but i speak in the rules committees support for angela chang. i feel her voice on the police commission is needed more than ever she's a hardworking person and we need that on the police commission. we reappointed dr. jill marshall and angela deserves to be reappointed because of her record and strong commitment to transparence socy and responderness to all people who come before the police commission. i want to acknowledge that issues like this can put the different part of the chinese and that community together there was not a division within the community and by continuing to support victor our community can be united in promoting stro

chiu. >> no. >> there are six ayes and five nos. >> the amendment passes and with that, are there further discussion. supervisor tang. >> thank you supervisor chiu. i wanted to kind of echo some of the comments that supervisor farrell made earlier and we've been focusing on the amendments that has taken place and that shows how varied these situations are. i think none of us feel good about anyone being evicted as a tenant, so thank you supervisor campos for spear heading this. a lot of my concerns has to do with the overall idea of this . there is no guarantee as a tenant if i'm going to receive this increase relocation payments that i'll use it here in san francisco to continue renting here in san francisco. and so that is something that definitely does concern me. the other thing is that i'm not sure -- i want to appreciate the controllers office and making sure they come up with a neutral and the most clear way they possibly could, i think, formula for determining this, however, it is based on a two year period and what happens after a tenant receives this relocation payment and after two years, they cannot have the income to sustain themselves in another unit that is higher rent than what they were paying previously. there's a host of other questions i have and not sure about the impact on this legislation, our goal is to make sure that tenants are stay here and live in san francisco. i'm not sure that this will achieve this. so that's why i'm uncomfortable with supporting the underlining ordinance today. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. president. so i will support the legislation. and i appreciate all of the dialogue that we've had in committee and also here at the board. i know that sometimes people don't want to get caught up in the details. i think it actually is whether one supports this legislation, or doesn't support it, this is significant legislation. it has an impact on tenants and landlords and one can support it or not support it. it's important to get the details right even if those details are reasonable affecting a sub set of the universe where the legislation can come into play. i think it's worth it on having those discussions and i'm glad we did that at committee and at the full board w that said, i do think that looking at the big picture, this legislation is important. and we, as i mentioned last week, it seems like hardly a week goes by where i don't learn about another eviction in my district and i know i'm not hearing about them necessarily in other districts, so i can only imagine what is really happening and i know there's been some discussion about there aren't as many evictions now than in 2000 or the overall evictions, and it's a small number. whether it's a small or large number, it's having a huge impact on people's lives and when these evictions happening far often than not in my experience, you have seniors being impacted and people who are not going to be able to find other housing. people who may have lived in a neighborhood for decades and they're not going to be able to stay there. and so if it's a large number or if it's a small number in a way that's not really the issue. the issue is these folks are being impacted and it's important for us to take action, i think, that moves us in that action so i'll support the legislation. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you president chiu. i want to thank supervisor campos for bringing this forward. all of us colleagues, not a day goes by where we hear from resident who are asking us to do something dramatics. we have the lee direction families or direct homes where people are occupying themselves to save them and those who have been living in their house for years and a 90 year old woman had just had a birthday will be evicted and she's been in her property for 50 years. this legislation is the dramatic things that we can do to stem a tide of these evictions happening at an epidemic rate. i want to thank supervisor campos for taking leadership on this and i want to thank the colleagues who are supporting and this will make a difference. it will be one tool and many teals we'll need to stop the affordability crisis here in san francisco. >> president -- i >> want to echo the comments that there's no silver bullet to our crisis, but i'm happy to support this legislation because this is one piece we need to help stem our

chiu wants a hearing one to two years after is effective date and this was pass is. supervisor wants this is to be passed into the tenants and merging the units. in response supervisor chiu said this should not have to - supervisor kim expressed concern there's not enough improvement and believed the city may not receive applications yet she supported the opportunity to legalize the board was voting for this we had a marathon sequa appeal session regarding sfmta the appeal was heard the shuttle policy and pilot program was carolyn exempt and the pilot project as exempt under class 6 that is for information gathering and activities. activities can be part of the program or action that's not been proved there's no unusual circumstances from the experimental regulations. many the case of the shuttle program sfmta proposed the shuttle providers serving intercity to apply for permits for the shared bus stops and they'll be succinct to concern operations and carry tracking device and the effectiveness of the program will be monitored and in an effective for the shared use of the bus stops the shuttles will be held responsible for one dollar for the bus stops. the appellants contended it caused rents around the location to rise my bicycle safety backs couldn't be legally be allowed to use the bus zones and should pay more than one dollar. the board hearing lasted 6 and a half hours the topics were the baseline for the environmental review and the legal issues around the vehicle code and the evidence from the appellants and the exemption. board members critiqued the one dollar fee and encouraged sfmta to composers the bus and shuttle activities. supervisor farrell made a motion to upheld the motion and opted the appeal and scott wiener supported it and supervisor kim was in descendent. finally one introduction supervisor wiener's public code amendment for the public facilities for the surface site permits to set fees for obtaining permits and make provisions and we've been working with the supervisor wiener's office and plans to bring it to this committee for retention >> commissioner moore. >> mr. star would you give for meat to the item the at&t boxed. >> yes. the separate permitting program that requires the preapplication outreach effort and sets concern standards for where they should and shouldn't be located. >> i'm glad something is happening could you keep us posted in more detail when supervisor wiener is into it. >> our citywide team will bring this to you for recommendation. >> great start. >> commissioner antonini. >> mr. star regarding supervisor chiu's legislation that i i seem to remember when it went through us there was talk about the fact it if neighborhoods had cc&rs. >> i'll check on that for you. >> that possibly we have a ordinance. >> good afternoon yes supervisor chiu it was included in the legislation this would not super seed the private agreements of the residential buildings so that's our concern. >> thank you. i guess it would have to be a neighborhood that has cc&rs. >> it was addressed because they also heard the comments at the land use committee and added language to address that. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon tim frye her to share with you a few things from the preservation hearing a recommendation was forwarded to the board of supervisors to reclarify 1007 market street to a contributory article 11 a building was constructed in 1911 and is already a contributor to the national register of peter lost district. the board of supervisors will take the item up at a future date and we'll keep you poste
