for starters, it's time to review the commission am/fm sub cap. i understand there will be an opportunity to re-examine once again. i'm disappointed they declined to reverse course from the previous commission imposed disclosure requirements for shared agreements for commercial television station. make no mistakes, disclosure requirements are generally used for precursors for regulations. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but regulations will likely come. it's also counterintuitive that in one item with consider today we question if the cost of form 355 data collection exceeds the benefit of the information, but in this item we retain illogical disclosure requirements. this is the wrong approach. we should treat the same way we treated items in our modernization, with deep skepticism. in 2004 he got it right and dissented saying it would be better to allow the review process to run its course in order to allow the commission and congress the ability to measure the media marketplace. be cautious they warned in mandating the rules will preserve t

-i think this commission has a e responsibility. whereas all the cities' commisss serve the residents of the citys commission is charged to carry t oversights that impact folks wht be san francisco residents, butr work impacts san francisco resi. their perspectives and engagemee is also critical so that as we deliberate policies and other an items, it's good to have all si' perspectives. i hear folks who want to keep iy it is. i understand that. but at the same time to really o broaden up the participatory puo speak, i'd like for us to try tt as a trial run. because as a bylaw, we can alwae it. but at least make it available s who otherwise could not make ite evening times so that they can , they can add their perspective e engage with the public. so i would like to make a motioo approve this proposal from the . >> chair keane: is there a seco? >> second. >> chair keane: i agree completh commissioner lee in regard to we said. i'd like to add a couple of ower things. in regard to the commission, uss commissioners, doing the best pe j

instead, today's item, in 2017, includes the commissions 2010-2014 review. -- commission river eliminates the cross ownership rule. the item explains, in today's environment, the rule makes no longer sense. this is not a new idea. in fact the commission in one form or another has been unable to justify this role for more than 18 years. the commission completed a 2002 review, that a complete ban of cross ownership was no longer in the public interest. upon review, the third circuit agreed with this conclusion but found the fcc alternative proposal to be arbitrary and capricious. as a result, the 1935 rule remained. , 2006.e next review the sec no longer believed it could justify the van and modified the rules accordingly. once again the court remanded the issue. the 1975 rule remained. 2010-2014 review, the third circuit admonished the fcc for its delay, stating that the even thoughains the fcc determined a decade ago it is no longer in the public interest. perhaps determined to continue the process of the past, when the commission acted, it examines the full media landscape and did nothin

and job president of the commission this commission we are i can say that quietly but very confidently the champions of fighting tax fraud and tax evasion we talked about this is a commission proposal i will mention two other proposals the one is the first one is is that i think that the activity of those intermediaries legal advisors. fiscal advisors or banks it must be made transparent to the next administration and the third one is that we have already established a country by country reporting this is one of the six directives i mentioned but between tax administrations i would like it to become public i think there is no a position between investment which we want to protect the event you want to look at her and say yes because prince will receive it. burnsy is the only way to tackle with those phenomena if we can reach our goal but when you are addressing what you are looking for how will this affect the average person in europe who is watching this right now if you do manage to get what you want and close these tax loopholes and blacklist these tax havens i think that what we ar

commission report. in order for something to become an exhibit, it would have been discussed in one of the testimonies taken by the warren commission or referenced in the warren report. >> so 50 years later are there , still classified items and how does the declassification process work? martha: that was taken care in the act itself. the assassination records review board had a unique power. they had the capability of overruling the agencies, even on classification. the only appeal the agencies had was to the president of the united states. while the board was in business, they made a final determination on the records. >> when the board review these records, we found little reason to continue to protect these records. many of them we found should not have been protected during the 1960's. we do have to remember the era in which this occurred, an era in which national security concerns were heightened. martha: however, there were a few, there are still some that remain classified in part or in full. if

commission use authorization. that is proposed to be continued indefinitely and i believe -- >> second week in december. what is that date? >> second week in december is december 14. >> all right 678 that is the proposed date. any public comment on the items proposed for continuance? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner fong. >> move to continue the proposed items in addition to item 19 and 20. >> second. >> thank you, commissioners. on that motion then to continue items as proposed, commissioner fong? [roll call] >> so move. it passes unanimously 5-2. if the acting zoning administrative -- >> 5-0. >> excuse me. 5-0. i apologize. if the zoning administrator could rule on item 2c. >> continuing item 2c to the date proposed. >> thank you. commissioners, i'll place this on your consent calendar. all matters here are considered to be routine by the planning commission and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member o

it varies from board and commission. the clerk of the board of supervisors says all you need to do is meet the very minimum the law requires: the person's name, what they spoke about, and whether they were for or against. that's the minimum. other bodies make an honest effort because they want the public to participate and they want what the public's input is to actually be reflected in the official record, and that's what the minutes are: they are the official record. the videotape and any other form are not the official record. in the minutes before you are two 150 word summaries: one by dr. derek kerr, and one by myself. i would challenge any member of this commission to provide any evidence that the responsibility for record keeping minutes has been in some way compromised. for approximately five years, from 2011 to 2016, this body relegated my statements to the status of an addendum. then, in 2016, the summaries began to appear as they are now, quote, in the minutes, unquote. so the sunshine ordinance states, so the

i go tie library commission meeting. there are six members of the public and 35 members of the staff because it's to their convenience and not the public. you need to ask the public whether this change would benefit them or you don't care whether it benefits them and you would like to without saying so outloud set the example to them, we don't really want your input so we're going to schedule it at a time when you probably will not be able to come. >> hello commissioners. i'd like to say that one of the very few -- can we get a name. >> david mahai. one of the things that i frequently converse with with my friends is how difficult it is to get involved in government and advocacy. for people in various geographies, they have similar problems involving around commissions being held around working hours for them and they're forced to take off work and make the trip to city hall or wherever the commission is held in order to participate. one of the things i could say proudly is that the ethics commission i work with meets af

finally, i'm disappointed the commission declines to reverse course from the previous commission ill advised decision for shared service agreements for commercial television stations. despite assurances from this commission, make no mistake, disclosure requirements are genuinely used for precursors for regulation. maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but regulations will likely come. this also is counterintuitive that in one item we considered today we question whether the cost of form 355 data collection exceed the benefit of the information, but in this item we retain disclosure requirements. this is the wrong approach. we should treat this proceeding in the same way that we've treated items within arm modernization initiative, with deep skepticism. i look forward too. [inaudible] he dissented from the court stay suggesting it would better to allow the quadra annual review process to run its course in order to allow both commission and congress the ability to measure the media marketplace. he cautiously warned, vacating and remanding the proposed rules to the commission will preser

and became a , commission exhibit of the warren commission. the second item you requested is lee harvey oswald's address book. this is a custom-made container made by our conservation staff. again this is acid-free. , this is mylar. it has a handy lift so you can get it out without having to pull on it. it is the commission exhibit 18. it has all of his handwritten items including the map, addresses, and telephone numbers, as you would expect. the final item is a map of mexico city. oswald made a trip to mexico city prior to the assassination, and brought this map home. this was acquired by dallas police and the f.b.i. and eventually the warren commission as well. on the side of the map, they have a smaller map with tourist spots which are identified on the side. as you can tell, certain things were circled. it was like that when we received it. obviously, we would not add anything like that. the backside is a larger map, again, with several items circled. i had found in secondary sources people have written that some of the items circled -- a

roll call vote of the commission. there will be no separate discussion of these items unless a member of the commission, staff or public so requests. in which the matter will be removed from the consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this point and future hearing. item six, case number 2016-o42991 c.u.a., commissioner use authorization. item seven, 2 geneva avenue. commissioner use authorization. item eight, and 501 through 503 and 508 through 511, laguna street. item nine at 123 west portal avenue, conditional use authorization and item 10, 1765 california street, conditional use authorization. i have no speaker cards. >> ok. thank you. any members of the public who would like to comment on the consent items or pull frem the consent calendar? seeing none, commissioner moore? >> i'd like to ask item 10 to be pulled of con sent. i just have a few questions that i could not really discern from the staff report. >> ok. we'll hear that first on the regular calendar. >> do i hear a motion? >> oh, sorry. >> i

i believe the commission should have granted the petition in full and offered the commission's methodology for determining compliance with ownership rules and markets containing embedded market. bia make clear, the list of embedded markets in parent market is a reflection of geography, not analysis of competition, however, it appears that the commission wants to get more information on the record before getting this far. for this reason, i understand that the commission willing reconsider this decision in this 2018 quadrenial review. under even most extreme circumstances in which one party were to own the maximum number of stations in each embedded market and each of the stations reached the highest ratings of the last 13 months, the owner would rank only third in new york market with 11.2% market share. in washington, d.c., under the most extreme example, the station would rank sixth. for the reasons i support providing a waiver that the commission will evaluate proposed transactions of radio stations, located in current markets with the multiple embedded markets solely by looking at the

commission members, please announce your vote when i call your name commission -- >> yes. >> commissioner row. >> yes. >> singh. >> bust the vote is four ayes, one absent. >> motion carries. >> the commission and community investment and infrastructure will recess to consider items on the financing authority agenda and after which the commission and community investment and infrastructure will reconvene to consider the remaining agenda. >> may i have a motion to recess >> i move that. >> moved by commissioner singh. second by commissioner pimentel. the time is 2:48. >> what this means for members of the public is that while you can remain seated, the financing authority of the redevelopment financing authority which is a different public agency even though it looks the same, it's conducting this part of the meeting and when this meeting is adjourned we'll go right back in to the commission on community investment and infrastructure meeting. so now that i am still the chair , madam secretary, can we please call the first item. >> the first order of business is item 1, roll call. board memb

i just want to ask for each of you on the commission, is there anybody on this current commission that would support such a study? >> well, madam chairman, one of the things that i take issue with is how that was couched. i was a part of that study, which was a study of -- started out being a study of studies, looking at what the commission gathered in terms of information about the entire media ecosystem. and as a result of us not having information, we have been kicked, you know, back several times into court about not having justification, not having information, not having data when it comes to certain policies. the court has spoken. we don't have the information needed. we are making decisions by putting a finger up in the wind and seeing where the political winds are flowing and going in terms of -- in terms of information, in terms of our decision-making. >> okay. >> and that's why we have a uhf discount that is totally -- has no justification. and that is because we have no information that we are gathering. we're just making decisions based on political -- >> so you would supp

electoral commission itself who had committed. what are you getting that on results you say the numbers don't add up what proof do you have. well i've got the reports from a.b.c. already been called whistleblowers within the a.b.c. those who there's a funny come which was the major service provider who did the mission of telecommunication company human exactly the communication company the service providers there was a very calm the orange and the. transmitting the ruling party say one of the reasons for the law tun out was because people. stopped from going to the polling stations roads and highways were closed by your supporters and that you and your party actually took part in acts of sabotage to support i did and actions. went on live television interview and my support us not to turn up to vote but not to stop anybody who was wanted to go and vote but as you know voting in this country is voluntary it is not mandatory like countries like australia so people can decide not to go and vote you can decide to do a position just to

the commission on evidence-based policymaking released their report september 7 of this year. the commission made 22 recommendations on how to improve evidence -- on how evidence is accessed, produced, secured and maintained by the federal government. on september 26, 2017, the house committee on oversight and government reform held a hearing entitled "recommendations of the commission on evidence-based policymaking." at that hearing, four members of the commission explained the intent of the recommendations and the need for more evidence to improve policymaking.

i'm talking about the president of the commission and jocko you are president of the commission and this commission we are i can say that quietly but very confident keep the champions of fighting tax fraud and tax evasion we talked about this is a commission proposal i will mention two other proposals the one is the first one is that i think that the activity of those intermediaries legal advisers. fiscal advisors banks it must be made transparent to the next administration and the third one is that we have already established a country by country reporting this is one of the six directives i mentioned but between tax administrations i would like it to become public i think there is no a position between investment which we want to protect the event you want to look at her and say yes because transparency if you want to see is the only way to tackle with those phenomena is if we can reach our goal but when you are addressing it when you're looking for how will this affect the average person in europe who is watching this right now if you do manage to get what you want and close these tax

an department. >> is the planning commission the board and mayor? >> board of supervisors and the mayor. >> thank you. >> commissioners items 10 a and b for 17 lbr. >> 479 castro street and kearny street. these are legacy business applications. >> good afternoon, desiree smith planning department staff. the eye tomorrows today are two legacy business applications, nominations submitted to the planning department on october 19th and ready why for your recommendation. while all applications were previously reviewed by the office of small business for completion prior to transmittal to the department. your packet contain a draft resolution outlining the tradition as to the success of each business. the first application before su for cliff variety. a neighborhood hardaway and variety store founded in 1936. it's a family-owned store and it offers hardware, home goods, candy and other every day items for over 80 years. when the oldest son eriny joined the business he started the tradition of creating elaborate window displays especially during the holida

so called first hoover commission a task he took on for truman. hoover was pleased to have eisenhower as a consultant. on the reorganization of the war department and its eventual transition into the department of defense. for his part eisenhower was honored to work with the former president. on a vital issue. but as the 1940s came to an end, hoover was busy addressing the post war fa anyone in europe and the reorganization of the executive branch. not surprisingly he had scant contact with eisenhower between 49 and 1949 and 1952. and the document evidence is found only in contact between third parties or mutual friends. there were a few efforts to get together particularly during the tiles when both were in new york. as president of the colombia for example, he invited him to serve as an honorary chair to raise funds. he declined that because he was raising money for the engineering program at stanford university. the communication during those years came as the cold war heated up in 1951. by then ik was nato commander and clearly committed to a

commission must give further thought. all of the bands along with efforts under way in the proceeding provide a good foundation for future wireless technology. releasing more spectrum into the marketplace will ensure all interested parties have an opportunity to access spectrum resources. having an adequate supply of spectrum along with stringent and reasonable construction requirements or renewable standards will ensure spectrum and widely efficient. and not warehoused and had that the sector remains competitive. efforts by the commission to favor certain entities or engineer spectrum holdings in the past have been unsuccessful. further as i stated in 2016 we're in the early stages of 5 g. and what services will be offered. to achieve the capacity, speed and licensing goals. for the reasons i fully sport the decision not to implement preauctioned spectrum cap on a 24 or 47 gigahertz band. the commission should eliminate the preauction spectrum limit set for 28, 37 and 39 gig letters bands in the previous spectrum proceed

before the commission now is whether or not we should revert to the prior version. whether or not 3.231 should only prohibit members of boards and commissions from fund raising for their appointing authorities. one reason offered in support of this change back to the prior version is that there is not as strong of a risk of corruption when a member of a board or commission is fund raising for someone other than their appointing authority. so there no reason to restrict fund raising for all officers and there is not sufficient evidence indicating that such fund raising goes on or is problematic. are there any questions about this section? >> no, no questions. if i think about this and i want to create a real life example say there is -- say i have been appointed to the arts commission or the historical preservation commission and so the original language of the ordinance would prohibit me from raising funds from the appointing official. you don't want to give the appearance that i got the job because i can raise money for the mayor. but what if the classmate of my so

by this commission. that deals with this subject. i call it a racket of cash-outsr those that will get set to builg and don't use it oregon get load don't use it all but spend it ot measures and even candidates. it ought to be stopped. and that's why i'd like it put n calendar next week with the usuf analysis. the other one deals with public financing money which is left o. and that's not in ordinance fort i'd ask staff to put it in ordie form. i was given a one-sheet summaryt which i gave to the executive dr and i didn't retain a copy for . so i am speaking from memory. but it is a proposal which is meritorious, dealing with what s to that mon -- what happens to t money so it isn't used for non-l purposes or non-intended purpos. and i think that concludes my cn that, although i wanted to talkt state legislation. i don't know, mr. chairman, if s appropriate here or under new b. >> it would be under item 10. state legislation on item 10, tf report on policy. >> okay. >> so if there is no objection t commissioner kopp has proposed,l ha

actually got business before the park commission? is that something that you're going to disclose? not under the way this is written, as i understand it. and yet, the rec and park bond pays for stuff at the port, so there's clearly a relationship. all in all in san francisco city government, things go back and forth, but here's the biggest loophole of all that's been created, and that is you have commissions that make major decisions that have no commissioners, so the mayor's office of housing and community development, which handles billions of dollars in housing and billions of dollars in economic development has no commissioners. we had an election about putting commissioners over that group, and the mayor came out strongly opposed to it. so what's goio's going to over somebody who's asking for donations to the mayor office of housing and community development? nobody. it's a blind alley for everybody. city law already recognizes that commissioners have a conflict of interest. it's why we banned them from having compensation for a

, our staff could convey those concerns to the planning commission. i wasn't sure what would be before the planning commission as far as the property in p a future hearing. it did sound as though there was something that was going to happen, that it would have to go to the planning commission. i don't believe there application pending which maybe the difficulty. >> and are there interior changes? >> there are other interior permits approved in 2013 and 2014 that are underway which is why the building is entirely vacant right now. >> there is -- if we look at it on the sake of the fact that if what miss kerby said was true that the sro units will be available again to the sro tenants, there is a benefit to moving the project along if everything went according to the way one would want, there is a benefit to that. >> we can continue it, we're only extending the timeframe for getting people back in their homes and enapprovinging it today would help the people as opposed to pushing it further into the future. >> commissioner johns. >> i do agree strongly

ultimately, the planning commission voted 4-1 to disprove the entire project with commission president hills voting know and commissioners fung being absent. after further consideration the acting zoning administrator issued a decision letter granting the rear yard variance on august 30, but with several conditions designed to pulled proposed vier hences away to the north. these conditions are summarized as follow does. one, the proposed fourth floor addition was reduced to a depth of 3 feet into the required rear yard. additionally, no portion of the resulting fourth floor rear terrace that extended north of the addition can be used as open space which will provide a nearly 9 foot set back between the fourth floor terrace and the northern property line. second, the proposed third floor rear addition was set back at least 7 feet from the northern property line. next, the set back on the third floor cannot be used as a deck or terrace. third the proposed fourth floor rear addition was set back at least 5 feet from the rear property line. and any windows must used obscured privacy glass.

rule 12 states that when a commission deliberates and decides a case, the commission shall consider only the evidence introduced in the record and material facts, of which the president takes official notice. commission rule 14 prohibits ex-parte communications, which means that the communications are prohibited between members of the commission and any person or party on any fact at issue unless upon notice and opportunity for all parties to participate. does either party request modification of the hearing procedures at this time? okay. i don't see any requests. all right. we're going to go ahead and start this hearing, then. so as i stated earlier, we're going to start with the charging party, so miss weiland of the entertainment commission, you can come on up and please present your opening statement. the clock should start now, crystal wyomi cryst crystal -- [ inaudible ] -- in addition to the shooting, the permitee has not complied with his original permit conditions or his revised security plan when asked. la oficina has not been a good neighbor, has caused harm to the health

by this commission. that deals with this subject. i call it

the record is open at the commission. once the staff completes its review we will take a look at the record, and when the chairman brings it up for a vote we will cast our votes. >> what is your philosophy about the 39% rule? brendan carr: 39% right now is a limit in the fcc's rules on the percentage of the population that a single broadcaster can cover through their ownership of different stations. that is another issue we will take up in december. the chairman has circulated for our consideration that asks a series of questions whether 39% is the right number. do we have the authority to increase that number. how does it react with the uhf discount. all of those will be issues teed up for our consideration soon. >> are you inclined to think the sec can modify the cap for that? there had been some pressure from congressional leaders. they said congress is the only body that can change that. they have been quick to point to sinclair when writing to the commission. i wondered how you saw that. is that something you viewed

secondly, i have doubts about te commission.the mayor regularly has meetingr it's monthly or weekly dependine mayor of all the departments, b, commissions, they're part of the family closed quote. city family. that prohibition should have bee original version before it was d to apply only to the appointing authority. thirdly, motion of last month od instead of local disclosure rult what exceeds any state requiremd limited it to the payments of 5r more, and only at the behest ofd officials. let's think about the disclosur. disclosure is no enforcing mech. who is going to know this? except the relatively few peoplf what? a850,000 residents? and probably 420, 430 registeres except those in this room and me more people who are watching on television? then what happens if there is disclosure? there is no city hall coverage? yes, i will pull history, when a supervisor, that press room was. every desk, occupied. nobody will know about this exca very few number of the 850,000 , approximately, who live in san francisco. let me just concl

is that -- that seems to be the sense of the commission, so that's what we'll do. >> the commission isn't required to act. i think we're looking for your policy direction. you've been clear on it, so there's no need to take objection. >> take public comments? >> president keane: yeah, we'll take public comment now. >> i'd say just lastly because supervisor kim is also considering social media-type regulation, i also don't want that train to leave the station without our input. >> larry bush, friends of ethics. a comment on the sunshine task force, one of the things that's going to have to happen is a rewriting of the sunshine ordinance because it calls for one of the appointees of the task force to come from the new american media, and you've just seen in the paper today, they've gone out of business, so they're going to have to have a new formula. >> well, they won't even notice. >> well, i can say about that that i worked a year and a half ago with supervisor campos and several others on a rewrite of the sunshine ordinance task force, because even the people who proposed it released at
