this is the winning proposal and we thank the leadership of kim, chiu and yee and we know of the strong support of the board and we suggest that you vote this out of committee today. >> thank you. next speaker. >> my name is cathy wiscom and here to represent the san francisco ans for community empowerment. >> now after weeks of work, they have worked out amendments that will slow the process, protect, against evictions and support rent control and control to increased affordable housing stock. many thanks to the tenant organizations and the 30 community groups including the tenant organizations which worked with supervisors of the most campos, kim, chiu, and mar and they thank them for supporting these important displacement amendments, very, very important. and i hope that we can soon thank other supervisors. according to the department of public works, between 1980 and 2011, 2426 units were converted to condos and notice that i said units. we do not know the numbers of people displaced and no one knows what happened to them. tired, worker, i often woner how much longer the department

and again, thanks for all your work, supervisors chiu, kim and yee who is no longer here. thanks. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi. i'd like to first of all just say that tenants are in need at this time. and i just really feel like tic owners knew what they were getting into when they purchased properties. and if they felt like they needed to have real estate financing down the line, that maybe they should have bought more modest investments. and that's just the way i feel. i'm sorry if i'm unsympathetic. i'm also worried about how this ordinance could be subject to abuse by developers. and i think that the amendments that i heard today from supervisors chiu and kim were really encouraging, the part that capped the maximum of four-unit buildings to be eligible. and i'm also afraid because i know that, you know, there can be straw man tactics and i was shocked to hear from some of the other commentators about different types of tactics that are used, you know, with the declarations and all that. just very shocking. yeah, i'm also concerned just about the general depletio

>> thank you, steve caler and with the organization on supports of the amendments of supervisor chiu, kim, and yee, we represent more people and most activations as their lawyers defending tenants against eviction and any other and definitely any other law office in the city. we have seen an increase in the last six months in ellis act evictions because of the hot real estate market. we need to do something to stop real estate speculation and these sets of amendments goes a long way to doing that. you know, when the tic owners came before us and said, hey we want amendments to the condo law so that we can get out from under this bad tic argument, we said, okay, we will give you that, and when they said don't worry we will have and we will keep our tenants and a lifetime lease the one thing that we want is the sus expensing of the lottery to stop the real estate speculation and other reforms in the condo law to take the large unit buildings out of conversion is what we have asked for in return and this compromise is exactly that. it is something that where the tell ants get something and t

we'll do roll call. >> commissioner avalos, breed, campos, chiu, cohen, ferrel, kim, absent,

and like i want to thank you, supervisor chiu and kim for making this amendment come forth because the last hearing went and the people were talking about the need for we have seen that and thank you for putting this on because that is needed to talk about, just one time half is not a real solution, it is actually kind of at the expense of people that you are trying to help which are the families and the people who understand san francisco, right? i wanted to go back to what? where is the city's real priority and the public's out rage about the lack of affordable housing and last year and it is still true. the general, the regional housing shows that san francisco continues to build really high income housing and not enough affordable housing for the folks who really need it and why are we talking about not focusing on that deal so that we should not be focusing on the deal. for looking at the few folks who are saying. >> and i am going to call names. >> ramond, castio. >> and (inaudible). and peter coen and andrew, (inaudible) and cythia cruise. and paula (inaudible) and becky lee, an

chiu: mr. benson said that he is in support of the proposed amendment. supervisor kim has seconded. supervisor wiener wold like to comment. >> supervisor wiener: in terms of this not setting a precedent, can you elaborate on how that occurs. i am curious to know. >> president chiu: mr. benson. >> brad benson with the port of san francisco, the concern was raised by peter cohen, san francisco information clearinghouse involved in the broader citywide discussion about the potential use of ifd in other areas of the city. the policy constructs are different for the port; we are using all of ifd to pay for new infrastructure; in a broader city context there was discussion to use ifd funds. the desire was to make sure that it is clear that it is a different context at the port and the city and the port might want pursuing other areas of the city. >> president chiu: can we take a motion to amend without objection? gvl (gavel)any further discussion? on the underlining resolution as amended? colleagues can we take this same house same call. the resolution is adopted as amended. item 17. super

chiu. >> supervisor kim, any comments? >> thank you. i'm looking over the amendments. i think my questions have been addressed. i was wondering if 6 months was enough time for an establishment for the necessary repairs. that was one of my questions. it seems like a year was agreed upon an is an adequate amount of time. my second question was on restaurants, if they do serve food they should be allowed to offer that as another option if people need food to sober up. thank you. >> we have some departments here as well. >> yeah. i would like to invite, we have a couple of department representative. i don't know who wants to speak first but office of small businesses? >> good afternoon, chair wiener, supervisor kim and supervisor david chiu, director of small office business. the small business commission heard the legislation on march 11th and did recommend approval and one of the discussion we had at that time was our recommendation was doing more of a proximity control and with the recommendation of proximity controls within 150 feet. but, supervisor chiu did convene a

increase and not exceed an amount of approximately 3.3 million to 5.4 million. >> president chiu: supervisor kim, that you want to speak to this item? no. same house and call this resolution is adopted. >> item 17 is a resolution urging city colleges -- >> president chiu: supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: my staff are currently working on a number of amendments suggestions made by my colleague so i asked for more time to present these, they are being printed right now. >> president chiu: if we could do for this later on on the agenda let's go to item 18. >> a resolution urging the retirement board of the employees retirement system to divest from public traded fossil fuel companies. >> president chiu: supervisor avalos. >> supervisor avalos: i forgot to press the button. i want to thank my cosponsors, supervisor mar and supervisor breed, and thank supervisor farrell for allowing the resolution to go from the committed to full board of supervisors. when it comes to climate change it is easy to get lost in the minutia of silence. the consensus is that if global warming exceeded two degrees celsiu

and in terms of -- president chiu, may i ask a question of supervisor kim? actually, to mr. malmud. >> i can actually address because we actually just chatted just now. what i'm going to do is i'm going to make a motion to what we would like to see go in as the amendment. and then mr. malmud has agreed to work on it to ensure that we have it ready for the public by the time the agenda is noticed on thursday at noon. so, we're going to spend the next day and a half working on that language. so, that is the motion that i will be making. >> and i think, just for the sake of the public, the idea that's been proposed is that there would be an amendment to address the issue of the sale or contract for the sale of the unit in advance of the subdivision in order to ensure that a tenant protections from the lifetime lease provision. >> mr. malmud, do you believe that this amendment can be prepared in a way that you can approve it as to form? you don't have to answer that definitively. i know you need to work on that with supervisor kim. >> thanks. i do want to point out one other thi

>> aye. >> campos. >> aye. >> chiu. >> aye. >> cohen aye. >> ferrill. >> aye. >> kim? >> aye. >> mar? >> mar, absent. >> and commissioner tang in >> aye. >> weiner >> aye. >> yee, yee absent. item passes. >> very good. our next item please. >> three, this chair's report this san information item. >> okay, good morning, colleagues, i would like to commend everyone who participated and took part in the nation's first walk to workday. held last friday april 12th and i want to congratulate the individuals and organization to help this become a great event i was not able to participate that day due to a slight family emergency, but it is a great chance to encourage people to walk for all sorts of good reasons, your helpth and the environment and it is the opportunity to highlight all of the work that needs to be done to insure that there are safe and attractive walking routes in every neighborhood city wide. i have been really encouraged by the members of this body who have been taking up a lot of effort around the pedestrian safety as well. >> mayor yee took this advantage

. >>> supervisor wiener, supervisor kim, supervisor chiu. simple fairness would require acknowledgment of the efficacy of your proposals to deal with categorical exemptions and negative declarations. there's no question that that aspect of environmental review needs clarity. i'm not totally convinced that the way in which you go about solving them is the way to solve, but it is without question the right thing to do to put them on the public table to be debate and had discussed. cat ex and negative declarations need to be clarified, the process needs to be made transparent. however, simple accuracy requires me to say that it is simply not as you assert at the beginning of this, that this has nothing to do, your legislation has nothing to do with e-i-rs and it has nothing to with projects like cpmc. if it had nothing to do with e-i-rs, why did you repeal section 31.16 of the administrative code which only addresses e-i-rs and replace it with new language that has caused two-thirds of the commentary today? clearly this legislation does deal wi

. >> president chiu: supervisor kim >> supervisor kim: i want to thank the sponsors for bringing this to the board. i have since read a lot of the data and a lot of the supporting documents as to why it may be fairly limited. in terms of its impact. i am happy to support this today. i think it is really important, more than just making a statement, that would make a statement with our dollars. in many ways that is the more in portland way to show what our political principles are. i am not saying that we don't support these companies, the ones that manufacture guns or increase fossil fuel into the environment. i'm happy to support this today but i do think there was a lot of thoughtfulness that went on to this. this of course was the resolution and look forward to hearing from the retirement fund to see how we can divest over the next five years hopefully of course if it takes longer i think that is reasonable. but i think that it is a good goal for us to have and it is important statement for the city of san francisco to make. >> president chiu: supervisor avalos. >> supervisor avalo

chiu. >> aye. >> kim? >> no. >> weiner? >> aye. >> mr. chair we have two alicia winterstein two aye and one no. >> the motion passes. could you call number three? >> what action on two? >> continued to may sixth of this year. i am sorry you are right about that. so, on item number two, i suggest that we also continue that to may 6th. >> yes. >> so, item number two, which is an informational item on supervisor kim's legislation it is our motion to continue that to may 6th as well. >> yes. >> and could we take that without objection? >> that will be item two is continued to may 6th. >> thank you. >> item three? >> ordinance amending subdivision code to adopt the condo conversion impact fees amply able to certain buildings that would be permitted to convert during a six year period and subject to specified requirements... >> super supervisor ferril,. >> i appreciate those who are here on this item. i know that the item is continuous to the amendments and will going to the full board in the early may meeting. last week i agreed with the spons

chiu. supervisor kim, did you have any comments? no, okay. with that said, we will open the item up for public comment. is there any member of the public who would like to speak? ms. chapman. >>> linda chapman from knob hill. if you had not deleted that finding it would have been better. you deleted the finding with the horrible conditions which is completely inaccurate and added some other finding i don't know. anyway i'm glad supervisor chiu looked into this. i was very happy with the way that amy met with people and talked with peep and will so on. i feel that the conferring with residents didn't really encourage it to any extent. it was conferring with lower polk neighbors for sure. very few residents were there. when the supervisor comes a few may come. now here is somebody giving a remark from the back row. who is that? she introduced herself to me. she's from behind man. hinman being a lawyer, lobby for alcohol uses there. ~ and, so, you know, we have legislation where there is an intent to do something, but it doesn't include the kind

there did seem to be concensus for rules of appeals should be codified and both supervisors kim and chiu were interested in increasing notification. our director committed to provide increased online notification for exemptions that would be searchable. supervisor kim notice it maybe fact reduced to allow appeals until the last approval instead of the first approval which is essentially the situation that we have. supervisor kim announced she plans to introduce an alternative proposal and after this commission continued this issue to be heard on april 2nd. there was a minor alcohol and tobacco control. last week since your hearing supervisor chiu did recommend all modifications and this week they did approve the final modification. they considered supervisor chiu's portion of the northeast ordinance that was before the board this week which is merely the expansion of the program to allow tdr's to be transferred to all districts in the area and voted to approve this portion of the ordinance back this appeal is the project is before the dr is to construct a 3 story vertical edition in addi
