supervisor chu: thank you. >> good morning, supervisors. my name is toni bernardi. this program is serviced under my direction. i wanted to say a couple of important things about the program. the assistance is provided in two different ways. worksheets are provided, with tutorials and study guides with said proxy components. more important and more heavily used, the program connects students to a tutor that will provide them with one of one help. students enter their subject and grade level and the tudor provides expertise at that level and within that subject. in tabling these students to access homework assistance outside of school hours. and to receive assistance from trained tutors i ever. grade level subject expertise, enabling the expansion of fun assistance that a parent might provide, which might be limited to education, language, subject matter, expertise, or the need for that parent to be at work in the hours that the student needs help. it also enables the students to seek assistance at any location

supervisor chu: thank you. b. item one please. >> one, resolution authorizing the san francisco municipal transportation agency and the part of public works to accept and expend the transportation development act article 3 funds totaling $685,000 for various pedestrian and bicycle projects in the city and county of san francisco. supervisor chu: thank you. i believe that our dpw representative is here for presentation. >> good morning, supervisors. also here today to take any questions you may have oliver and mark from the san francisco municipal transportation agency. we are here today to accept and expend a grant of transportation development act funds. the total amount is $685,000. that would be $375,000 for sfmta and $320,000 for dpw. transportation development act funds are a 40-year-old sales tax quarter cent that returns to the county, an article 3 funds are 2% of that amount allowed for bicycle and pedestrian projects. the uses of these funds for dpw would be sidewalk repair and curved ramp design and p

supervisor chu: let's go to public comment. any members of the public debt would wish to speak on item number two. seeing no one, public comment is closed. colleagues, the changes are on the first page, on the title, we want to change the fiscal year to read 2010-2011. on page three, line one, the fiscal year 2009-2010 should also read 2010 through 2011. page three, line 11, it should reflect 0.5. correct? >> correct. >> will be ordinance no. change also? supervisor chu: i do not believe so. the file number? >> yes. i am not sure if there is a new ordinance no. 42010-2011? supervisor chu: i do not believe i have received changes to that number. supervisor avalos: it should work from one year to the next. supervisor chu: there is a motion to make those amendments without objection. i believe that these changes are not substantive, so the city attorney could move forward today? >> correct. supervisor chu: we have a motion to move forward on the amended version. are there any other items today? >> item #two will be recommended to

we have a motion from david chu, seconded by carmen chu. without objection. if you could call item three. >> citizens advisory committee report. this is an information item. >> we have the chair of the committee. good morning. >> my name is peter. i and the former vice chair to the citizens advisory committee. as you were informed at your june 15 meeting, the cac chair had moved. i have been chosen to fill out her term. at the next meeting, cac will be collecting a new place characters he of my term. my report will be fairly brief this morning. the cac unanimously approved all of the items on your agenda this morning with one exception. on your agenda, item six, motion for funding on the trend it bay planning committee. the one item that had the most discussion and questioned once the better market street project. robert suggested a higher love love community involvement. he wanted to see the stakeholders, long term role would empower them to take ownership of project outcomes. ta staff claims there is a parallel effort working on market street that will ensu

supervisor chu: thank you. i want to thank the civil grand jury for your work on this issue, and in addition, i want to thank the mayor's office of disability, the disability council, and all the departments to have taken the time to review and respond to the document as well. at this time, we do have item two, also, which has been called. it is the response of the board of supervisors to the 2009-2010 grand jury report. if we look at the actual underlying document, there actually is no response to findings yet from the board of supervisors, so if we take a look at page four of the legislation, beginning on line 18, is really just sort of a place holder for us to put in our findings as well. mr. share, after hearing from the departments, if i could make a motion -- mr. chair, we are responding to items one, two, four, five, and 6. i would make a motion that we adopt the city attorney response to finding number 1 and to recommendation on the one -- recommendation number 1. i also recommend we adopt the mayor's d

supervisor campos: carmen chu. supervisor chu: the polls that will be provided, is that something that we can expect to see on saturday, monday? >> i have been consulted that this will be ready at the end of the week. at this point, the best assurance i have is and will definitely be ready over the weekend. if i can deliver it to you by the end of friday, i will certainly do that. we want to make sure also that we look at the data before we give it to you. supervisor chu: we appreciate that. i suppose part of the report will include questions as to the methodology. thank you. supervisor campos: thank you. before we open this umove on, wo see if there are any members of the public that would like to comment on this item. >> two points. do not interpret this as an advocacy that this should or should not go forward, but i am supportive of the issue that commissioner david chiu has raised, that the city develop an overall strategy of revenue measures. the other point, i would strongly urge you to retain the ability in

supervisor mar: supervisor chu? supervisor chu: supervisor alioto-pier will not be able to make it today, but there is someone from the office of the stability here who will be doing the presentations for items 1 and 2. item 3, legislative aide will be coming for that item. supervisor mar: why don't we delay item 3 and go through the top of the agenda. >> item 1. hearing on the recently published 2009-2010 civil grand jury report entitled "americans with disabilities act: is san francisco in compliance?" item 2. resolution responding to the presiding judge of the superior court on the findings and recommendations contained in the 2009-2010 civil grand jury report entitled "americans with disabilities act: is san francisco in compliance?" supervisor chu: this is an item that was brought to us by supervisor alioto-pier. i know that you have also co- sponsored item 2. this is simply a hearing on the disability act. the mayor's office will be here to give us the findings and recommendations on that. >> i believe we have

supervisor chu: thank you. i would be happy to support this going forward, but if i could in the intervening week asked the budget analyst to send the document to me that has the scope of work as well as the hours. >> absolutely. supervisor mar: other questions? ok, let's open this up for public comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? >> good morning, supervisors. i would like to speak out in support of this measure. i count myself as part of that aging baby boomer population, and i expect to live in san francisco and see the final demise of this once great city. i'm expecting to be proven wrong, but most of the information i have seen over the last four years indicates that i may be wrong or right. i think that i'm right. anyway, back to the subject matter, one of the recommendations as part of the listing here on the page mentions of the seniors getting proper services as they age. since so many seniors have to go to san francisco general hospital for necessary care, i would like to

supervisor chu: i'm wondering if we could -- just a friendly suggestion. perhaps what we could do is make an amendment as a whole and except those that are initial draft reports because that represents a narrowing of the scope that the budget analyst has been in discussions with so that at least that will be part of the but the -- a public document that goes forward to the board of supervisors the public can look at, and i would be happy to send it forward with recommendations that -- without recommendation so we can hear from the project sponsor. supervisor mar: sounds like there is no objection to the friendly amendment as an amendment as a whole, and also, there is a motion to move this forward without recommendation to the full board. is there any objection to that motion? seeing none, we are going to move this as amended to the full board without recommendation. any other comments, colleagues? did we open this up for public comment? no, we have not, so before taking action on this, is there anyone from the public that would like to speak >> -- that wo

commissioner chu: ok. and a quick question about $429 million assumed as funding for phase 1, that area may experience some weakness. what are plans to deal with what the drops may be? >> well, estimates were based on 2007 numbers, so the value of the land has decreased. however, like i mentioned, the extension of the project will allow for the market to recover. tjp was looking at multiple other sources to make up for that gap. i think i am going to have somebody from tjp -- we don't know what the gap is. it's a moving target, and they are more aware of where things are. commissioner campos: thank you. >> for the $429 million projected in phase 1, first i think it is important to note that doesn't represent all of the land the city is receiving from the state of california, there are some parcels whose revenue was earmarked for phase 2, so there is potential to sell those earlier to help offset shortages and revenue in phase 1. the second issue is that we saw a significant funding damp on phase 2, and lew

supervisor chu: thank you. if i could perhaps go to finding 5 and have dpw come up for a response to that one. >> good morning, supervisors. we also want to thank the civil grand jury for the fairness of the reports, dedication to improving access in the city. item 5 is related to enforcement, the entering of the incursion. it could be a barricade in the way of someone with a disability try to make a passage on the public right-of-way. recommendation was to more fully fund the city's enforcement team. we are in difficult times, as you know. but we will continue to do everything we can to innovate funding sources. i think all of you are aware of the efforts taken to dedicate funding to sidewalk repair and improvement. i think it was a couple of weeks ago at the full board where we had a program to do rather progressive sidewalk inspection and repair programs, a systematic way to look at correcting defects that could be considered access issues. we just want to give our assurances, we will continue to work as har

supervisor avalos seconded by supervisor chu. this item will be continued until july 22. will you please read the adoption about committee reference? >> items 58 through item 73 are being considered without reference. there will be acted upon by a single roll call vote unless a member call for discussion of an item. gerd >> would anybody like to separate an item? supervisor alioto-pier: 62. >> any other items? we will take care roll-call on items 58 through 72 except for item 72. [calling votes] >> there are 11 ayes. >> the item is urging full pardon and allowing him to remain in the united states and continue serving. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you. and my main issue with this is a full pardon. if san francisco is backing of for all pardon, i would like to have an understanding -- backing of full pardon, i would like to understand what this is. in 1986, he put a lot of people through a very traumatic and violent act, so i would like to have a better understanding of what we are doing, because i do not want people to be saying his acts should be ignored. >> to the ques

supervisor chu: no. supervisor daly: aye. supervisor dufty: no. supervisor elsbernd: no. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor maxwell: no. supervisor mirkarimi: no. supervisor alioto-pier: no. supervisor avalos: no. >> there are 4 ayes and 7 no's. president chiu: item 21. >> item 21 is a charter amendment to require the mayor to appear personally at one regularly scheduled meeting of the board of supervisors each month to engage in formal policy discussions with members of the board. president chiu: any discussion on this item? supervisor mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: on item 21, i want to thank his supervisor daly. for his persistence -- over the years this has been battered around, i think it was demeaned by sources out there from the administration to their advocates in the press as a way to really make light of what i think is probably one of the most meaningful ideas that has come before the voters of san francisco. they would castigate the intent of this particular measure, thinking that it was something personal with this particular mayor. sooner or later, he will be

supervisor campos: commissioner carmen chu? [qsupervisor chu: thank you for your presentation.st want to make sure i am in synch with you on how we are characterizing the project. phase two is still to be determined. i am imagining phase one is the planning, vision, conceptual engineering project. where does stage to begin? is that the environmental study through the construction phase? >> that is through the completion of the environmental review. supervisor chu: and then construction would be -- >> another face. supervisor chu: -- another phase. supervisor chu: this additional funding would take you thru phase two of the project? this does not include any hard costs? >> that is right. supervisor chu: thank you. >> those details began on 105 -- page 105 of your packet. supervisor campos: thank you for the presentation. why don't we open up this item to public comment. we are in danger of losing a quorum, so we will limit each response to two minutes. >> i just wanted to commend the authority for moving forward with the better market street project. as has been mentioned, there

supervisor chu: let me make one comment. it has been set a few times. -- it has been set a few times. you can stay or set them -- sit down. laura's law does not require medication. it certainly does not allow for forced medication. under any law in the united states, it has to be given in a licensed medical facility. we're not talking about people out in the community just passing out drugs. what is so important and vital about the program is that some patients may need a vacation. they have to go through a hearing and a number of steps to get it. or they do not. if they do not, aot helps them through that. the consumer does have choices. they do have a say. we've heard a lot about force. this is not about shoving something down someone's throat. it is about taking them out of a situation where they could wind up in jail or something will be forced on them and putting it into a setting that is more independent where a patient does have more say, particularly those who are very sick. supervisor alioto-pier: when you look at s

i'm the aide to board president chu who wasn't able to be here this morning. i'm here to offer what i hope will be a friendly amendment to this excellent legislation and this excellent ordinance that we hope go before voters this november. president chu is a co-sponsor of the measure and plauds supervisor mirkarimi for his work on foot patrols over the years, over many years. as chair of public safety, president chu not evenly supports this measure but heard the hours and hours of public testimony related to the sit-lie ordinance and measure that will go before voters this fall. this amendment explicitly connects those two measures in a way that i think clarifies for voters what is at stake in november and what direction the city should be headed in as we try to address these issues that we all care about related to civility and to public safety. so with that i'd like to briefly read the amendment into the record. and i do have copies both for the clerk and for the supervisors and for members of the public. and this amendment would go at the end of the communi

supervisor chu? supervisor chu: i have one item. improving the seismic safety standards for some of our most vulnerable. right now, we have a current program that is available for and reinforced buildings that, and this helps the arlington residents, which is currently an affordable housing project with in the tenderloin that would deal with our existing programs. this pertains to chapters 14-b in chapter 21 of the administrative code. this encourages participation of small business. and i am happy to be cosponsoring this. finally, i want to request that we adjourn today's meeting in honor of a judge. mary pastoring last week at the age of 102. she was born -- mary passed away last week. she passed the bar in 1932. she was the first woman attorney hired by the california railroad commission. she served at the cpuc and was the first woman ever to hold that position. as chief counsel, she argued many cases before the california supreme court, winning tens of millions of dollars in rebates. in 1972, ronald reagan appointed her to the b
