[applause] >>thank you president breed and thank you colleagues. you'll have to forgive my voice here today i'm recovering from a cold. first of all i want to say congratulations to supervisor breed. you are going to do an amazing job as president of our board for the next two years and i couldn't be more proud to support you. congratulations. and supervisor christensen welcome on board and congratulations to you. look forward to working with you for years to come and congratulations on your appointment. i think district three is going to be incredibly well served so congratulations. you know, i remember standing here four years ago to the day i think over on that seat where supervisor tang is sitting right now, and remembering, not having been in office before and just being so awe struck with these chambers with city hall. what an amazing building. but also not at all appreciate the magnitude, the importance and the impact of this

so first i previously described some minor amendments supervisor cohen can we take that without objection okay. the amendments are adapted and to recommend to the full board we'll take that without objection. that's the full order could i have a motion to excuse supervisor kim we'll take that without objection. she's executed. >> madam clerk call item 3. >> item 3 an ordinance admiting the planning code. >> oh. >> for the code recommendation for the disabilities. >> i'm the author of item 3 this legislation is part of ongoing work around the update to the cities 2014 housing update and it proscribes is process with a person of disability to apply for a reasonable process to eliminate barriers to housing it is important for people to have access to housing we need to make sure that people with mobility challenges or other challenges have the same access to housing as everyone else this is a microwave active variance your planning code we've learned is thousands of pages long we regulate all the planning code as well as to the building code this legislation makes sure we're providing fair a

any additional discussion supervisor cohen >> thank you. i just want to stay to recognize the public comment on both sides of the issue that came to share their perspective with myself, my staff the office and that of come in the chamber. as a supervisor who has to deal with an over concentration of liquor stores and other businesses that sell tobacco, tobacco paraphernalia, i understand the concerns of very deep level that the neighbors have expressed. we are i really think were fooling ourselves if we think that the proliferation of e cigarettes in the cigarette marketing doesn't have an affect on impact on our children. we have spent more than a generation educating children about the effects of smoking and changing the social acceptability of smoking. our personal i went to [inaudible] and went to school unless i then graduated from lowell in the lakeshore. so, my connection this particular part of san francisco it is extremely personal and i know the ocean avenue -- i watch the scoreboard change over the course of my 35+ years of exist

cohen and supervisors. i just want to show you. i'm glad she's our supervisor and we are supporting. my name is ace and i'm on the case and the corridor ambassador. let me show you what we have going on in fillmore. we have a building owned by yoshi and now with all the closing businesses i'm representing a group that is known as the fillmore bay area media group. we have the community component there now. michael johnson met with us and he says he supports us. we are the community entity. so i have arranged my first corridor and i'm inviting the whole city and county and the mayor if he cares. i'm inviting my supervisors ks i know she'll be there. and we are going to talk about things that happened down at fillmore and explain some of the things about that current building there. it is operated by a gentlemen a little older than me, we are going to have we may that are going to be using that space like social media. yours truly. i'm at the bottom of the garage and art gallery. we are going to have a black history month. everyday w

. >> and supervisor cohen is the author of item 6. >> thank you very much colleagues this changes the planning code to limit the amount of says that a building is allowed to convert once it's designated a historic landmark the board of supervisors amazing passes interim controls i put 230rg9 to establish is a element of the conversions of pdr to office spates in historic building last year the controversy of labor its 2 henry adams brought this to my taken into consideration attention in this case, the project sponsor tried to convert a two-story building and during this the process of the proposal i've asked the planning department to take a comprehensive look at the buildings in the ear and as a result, the planning department said there's 14 other buildings in the pdr one v and pdr one g as in girl distinct that is disbelieve for the landmark designation now prior to the interim controls those were allowed to convert one hundred percent of the space into office eir revenue if their displaying tenants this costs one million expedite of space and the interim controls we passed last y

[gavel] supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. there's a couple of points they want to reiterate that seven of the 13 seats are to be occupied by members of the community. seven. that's more than a majority on the board on this task force. the task force isn't attempting to reinvent the wheel but built upon the efforts to do better coordination of the previous and existing efforts that the city is going through. this -- to echo what supervisor campos mentioned earlier he said he was looking for something different. we're not looking to be duplicative and listening to the public comments the seats that are open, the seven that i mentioned, it's for -- i can go through the list again. it's for a resident, a current or former resident of public housing -- excuse me, property owned by the housing authority. seat two is a member of a community based organization and includes the faith base communities. seat three shall be held by a clinician and can be a member of the community. seat four is by a parent who has been affected by gun vio

i want to thank supervisor cohen for bringing this item forward and i actually think that the work that has been done by her office and the work that that includes the work of the budget and legislative analyst is something that could be very useful, and i think it's very carefully thought out. i actually think that the selection of the members, the 13 members is something that makes a great deal of sense. the couple of questions that i have were points of concern are not so much with the mechanics of what the task force looks like, but quite frankly the priority that this will be given and whether or not for the mayor's office this will be a top priority. i am very familiar with the work that she has done and she's amazing and great that she is there, but i think it really requires a commitment that goes beyond your office because i know that your office does great work and the commitment is there, but i actually think that for something like this to be successful it has to go beyond that. it has to rise to the level for the mayor's office itself. it becomes a top priority so that is s

robert cohen pastor in sunnydale and visitation valley and director of unity. as a pastor i deal with people from a different perspective than all of the people named as possible candidates on the task force. i do support the task force because i think it's necessary for us to get to the bottom line and find out what's going on and what is really going to work. there needs to be some focus but listening to the qualifications in the different seats what i am struck with is the reality though from an academic point of view it will have great credibility because so many of the people have credentials so to speak. i think it's missing -- for example what pastor walker who is coming next has. he has been pastoring for a long time. he has dealt with people from the mother, the perpetrator, the victim from a perspective that nobody else has. there is no faith based representation on that list and not only that, which is unique of itself, there is inadequate community representation. that's been said and i want to echo that as well. even though i appreciate the clinici

member of the police commission but as a member of the board of supervisors is and i think supervisor cohen and other supervisors who have violence -- gun violence happen in the district it's an ongoing issue that there are discussions and reports come out and then reports are completed and they go on a shelf, and nothing happens after that, and so that's the thing that worries me making sure that there's actually work that follows. one thing that i would have a question about and i don't know that this is something that a person that should be a member of the task force per se, but i know something that has been important for us in the violence prevention work that we have done in the mission is how do we bring more than just the usual suspects or the typical players into the fold? and specifically i am thinking about the business community because i think -- i would imagine that some of the recommendations that will come out of this task force will require involvement by the business community. nothing stops a bullet like a job. well, i think that it would be helpful for us to include som

won't go away so we have longshoreman funding so i a look forward to that so with that supervisor cohen could i have a motion to forward item 4 to the full board we'll take that without objection. that will be the order thank you, everyone. >> okay madam clerk call item 2. >> item 2 is an ordinance inform compelled definitions for article 2. >> and the author of item 2 is our planning code is perhaps the most amended portion of our municipal code with hundreds of pieces of legislation over the years solving for various issues for the restriction of others over the years with so much amendments sometimes moving forward with lighting speed it has errors and other flaws that need to be corrected this legislation is a very, very sexy i can make a reaction to the issue the updating of the reorganizing and consolidating consistent hundreds of pages of the planning code it was supported and the legislation didn't make substantive amendment but makes it easier for everyone even the public to rely and read the code thank you aaron starr for his work i don't remember the last time we considered s

with that, the rest i submit. >> supervisor cohen in >>supervisor malia cohen: thank you everyone. i just want to briefly speak a few things into the record. first and foremost earthquake round request a follow up hearing. you may recall that there were families and children who were impacted by a shooting and hearst playground back in june 2014. as many of rib the neighborhood camp counselor was fatally shot in the playground basketball courts. as you can imagine the incident impacted people in the valley neighborhood including many youth that are in our unified school district. following the incident, city departments including but not limited to department of public health, district attorney's office, the victims unit and the san francisco unified school district to those who were impacted receive the appropriate support services they e need including counseling and mental health support and many had to start a new school year after it happened. it is been about 6 months since this incident and i would like to receive an update about this incident including the services they hav

i do want to thank my cosponsors breed and cohen. with that i will submit. >> thank you. supervisor wiener? >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you, mr. clerk. colleagues, a few things. first as supervisors cohen and farrell mentioned we are doing a few things around public safety. first, we've requested that the city controller analyze what full staffing of our police department means in san francisco. we know that many things impact public safety but one important factor is how many police officers we have. and one of the most common things that i hear from constituents is why don't i see police officers in my neighborhood. and it is a frustration and a lot of parts of the city and if you, as we all know that department is under staffed. the charter sets full staffing at 109 1 officers due to years and negligence that was dropped to 1700. we would like to bring it back up to 2000 officers. even before it was put in the charters in the 80s. we have a larger city now and neighborhoods that didn't exist and more larger events in the city and it's not g egg to stop. we are goi

so i'm with supervisor cohen in supporting the appeal and i really appreciate it: for bringing so many issues and researchers and professors from ucsf bid here with us and our spectrally disagree of my colleague norman yee and urge us to think beyond artistic but to think about the implications that are decisions make for the future of our city. i just want to say also the department of public health is taken off a curb campaign will raise awareness especially in municipal and bus stations and keep it out of those i think it's important that music is like my daughter and others are aware but also churches like ingleside presbyterian on others aware of these campaigns so we can support them to raise awareness. but i can but hope that mr. e is successful in his effort at nothing but respect my colleague norman yee from district 7 binary spectrally discreet and i urge on nodal vote on his motion. thank you >> thank you. supervisor ferroelectric shutter >> thank you colleagues. however think supervisor cohen and mar this one is shouting to the mainly i think this was after my sister, have

i had supervisor cohen beat me to the punch. i would have nominated supervisor breeds and i want to express my strong support for supervisor breed to be president for board of supervisors. i have had the pleasure of knowing her for many years and working with her as a colleague for the past two years. as we all know supervisor breed is someone with incredibly strong conviction someone who is deeply rooted in her principles and is so committed to her community it is mind boggling sometimes. she came to city hall to fight for her community and i have seen particularly over the last two years, supervisor breed really grow to continue to fight like crazy for her community and for her district but to really look at the whole city and to understand that as members of the board of supervisors, we may represent a district, 1/11th of the city that we may have been sent her or elected by one group of people or another but that we all have a responsibility to represent all 840,000 people or whatever the number is all residents of san franc

so those are my comments and supervisor cohen has made a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. without objection. you didn't hear that? >> i'm sorry, what -- was it filed? oh, okay. >> okay, so she has made a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair and without objection this item is continued to the call of the chair. thank you all so much for coming. madam clerk, can you please call the next item? >> item 3 is a resolution --. >> excuse me, can you exit quietly? we do have other business to deal with. excuse me. thank you. >> item no. 3 is a resolution receiving and approving annual reports for the yerba buena community benefit district for fiscal years 2010-2014. >> okay. >> afternoon, president breed, supervisor tang, we will try to keep this brief. and we're going to load an updated powerpoint. we had to make a few adjustments afternoon again, christine tano, i oversee the community benefit district program for the city. just very briefly, there are two pieces of legislation that govern the cbd program, that's the state law which is the 1994 act, an
