and so with respect to this first item, the commission would -- we would recommend that the commission adopt these rules, subject to meet and confer with the affected unions. i'm available to answer any questions about that. >> thank you very much, commissioner veranissi. i'm sorry, vice president covington? >> thank you, mr. president. i move that we adopt the rules for administrative appeals as submitted by our city attorney. >> thank you for that motion. and i'm going to have commissioner ve veranisi at this particular time. >> i had a quick question -- because i was on the police commission for a little bit, and i saw how that second appeal was used to delay matters, and i don't want to get into a situation because i think our current system, while it is broken and needs to be fixed, by adding that second layer on that is a legal process caused years and years of delay on disciplinary cases. and we had cases caught up in appeals, and it was always a threat, oh, we're just going to take it to an administrative law judge, and they ended up doing that, and i had cases that went on for

i see the way that we treat these rigs, as a commission, and i'm going to put the commission on this. the way the commission treats these rigs is mutually exclusive of what is going on between the guardians and this department and our ability to get us to sign some contracts, what funds they have in this and that. that is over here, clearly that is not getting done either. i'm sorry if i over critical. then we have these rigs out here that are clearly suffering. they are suffering, we know about it, and they are dying out there. it is a crime. it angers me to see that happening, because this is the history of san francisco going down the toilet. i encourage you to go out there and see it. hopefully that will put a fire under somebody. i want everybody to go. i want the media, everybody to go out there and see it because i hope it will put a fire under somebody to actually do something about it. everything else, until we do something about it, real action, is, in my eyes, i apologize for being over critical, it's unintended towards anybody on this commission, everything else is just an

so we were able to -- it was an idea we had at the commission. i brought it to the commission.rst person to think about this obviously, but we were able to get a pilot program going with the mayor's support and the supporter support of the family. kimberlypapinon, we were able to work with her to create a program and the mayor funded it. so that was an amazing thing. and i know now that the department of human rights is dism administering a program and i really look forward to hearing how it's going and seeing what we're doing with it now, but it's that kind of thing the commission has done and can do and we're all looking for ways to do that whas we move forward. so i want to thank everybody o who's here and all the community members who over time have supported, cajoled, ciriticized lobbied the human rights commission. it's going to continue and i'm grateful for that as well, but we have a lot of work ahead of us. i really do feel like we are now getting at programs that will address structural in equequali. sheryl, i'm going to hand it back to you. >> for those saying we are

commission. secondly, creating a clear public venue for members of the public, people experiencing homelessness, experts and advocates to learn about and influence proposed policy and budget changes. for providers and people senioring homelessness, this is an important way for them to be informed about policy changes that may impact them directly. for example, would be a place where the department could present on the recent pit count report, give their plans for next steps, and provide a venue for experts impacted people in the public to learn about those plans and provide input into them. third, creating a venue to create stronger policies without delay. the commission would be empowered to investigate contracting delays and set timelines and goals for policies to speed things up. fourth, having the commission approve the budget, which will provide transparency and inform the mayor and board of supervisors as they approve the city budget. importantly, no advisory body heard the budget this year

to the commission was 770 wolsey. there was a petition from a neighborhood organization to add the 2-acre site just below maclaren park. it was the old nurseries for flowers, i believe, way back in the day, to the landmark work program. the commission -- the historic preservation commission is down to five commissioners and their seats have yet to be replaced. commission president hyland had to recuse himself. they were down to four commissioners and they needed a unanimous vote. a motion to not add it to the work program failed 3-1 and there was no alternate motion to continue or otherwise. so that application failed in front of the historic preservation commission. >> hello. sorry about that. you guys are moving fast today. i am the manager of legislative affairs. first in the land use committee was supervisor mandelman's ordinance that proposes to modify the visible envelope for building seen our districts. you heard this item on april 11 th and recommended approval with modifications. as reported last week at the

say has no standing in the continental shelf commission it's not an observer to the commission it has no right to object to a recommendation of the commission. the commission's recommendations go only to the coastal state that is making the submission and not to anybody else. the ocean compass ever 360000000 square kilometers almost 3 quarters of the earth's surface. and. over 40 percent of this area has been assigned to continental shelves. claims on expanded geological continental shelves make up another 10 percent of the ocean. which is now projected to around 57 percent of the oceans will eventually be under the control of the coastal states. in the year 2000 and that's the latest set of figures that we have the international seabed authority which is based in jamaica they came up with an estimate as they saw that governments were starting to work through this more recent component for a lot of the sea for the extended continental shelf they have a figure just just below $12000.00 us trillion dollars is the in-situ estimate of seabed resources in the expanded continental shelf. es

if the commission does want to follow up and assist in the matter it is up to the commission. >> thankou. that is very helpful. >> i'm sorry, one more question. there is no obligation that the commission, in fact i'm more concerned about the other side of it, but because it is an independent legislative initiative, we have to be very careful about how we weigh in on the subject matter. so, am i wrong, there is no action that the commission needs to take on the ballot simplification, or what would be a purely factual cost analysis of the implementation of what has been proposed. we wouldn't need to bring it to the commission before it goes to the ballot? >> of course that is absolutely correct. the commission is not obligated to take any of those steps or be involved in the process. normally i wouldn't expect any pending ballot measure. needs to be relatively impartial, whatever speaks on the topic. they can provide facts, it could provide basic background. certainly the commission can never take a position on a ballot measure. you may recall a few years ago the ethics commission put co

we will have a commission. with. congratulations again and 2 questions one are you in visa doing a commissioner for the environment given your could meet mentors. the reduction of carbon emissions in the future years one in 2 apart from the environment what is going to be the number one issue you're going to address to the 1st measure you're going to take in the 1st 23 months of your mandate. going to i said today that we're going to start a climate long in the green deal for europe. what the cabinet the college is concerned about 4 years of the commissions and i haven't taken any kind of decision right now i was completely focused once again i beg your pardon 13 days . to plunge right into the topic and to get things done as they are on the table today i think it's worth to look at the guidelines and i decided i mean a few days ago we were unsure at all whether there would be a majority or not so i really focused on this state and from right on not i'm going to focus on developing the program to put the commission t

i would be grateful for more time on this, this commission. and although again with great respect, i do disagree with one of the things that supervisor haney said about this commission. he said it is like commissions that exist throughout the city bureaucracy overseeing any number of departments. and this proposed commission is different in at least one very significant respect in my view, which is that every commission overseeing a department over which the mayor is ultimately going to be held accountable, has either an entirety all of its members made up of mayoral appointees or a majority. if you look at any of the commissions you named, from health, which is entire mayoral, to police which is 4-3 with the number of three folks pointed by the board of supervisors, but four people on that commission are appointed by the mayor. so the mayor has the ability to direct what is going on in departments that she is going to be held responsible for. i know who is accountable and responsible right now for what happens in the department of homelessnes

commission. think there's still some outstanding problems with the way that it's written, and i think it should be an ordinance rather than a chart amendment, but i agree that supervisor haney is working very hard. with that, i'm happy for the opportunity to speak and answer any questions if they come up. >> chair fewer: thank you very much, director kosinski. supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: yeah, thank you very much, director kosinski, and your staff. i think these mostly addressed the concerns. the question whether it should be an ordinance or in the charter, to be clear. all of the commissions are in the charter. if we would create this by charter, it wouldn't be a charter commission that has all the responsibilities and duties defined in the charter. so we think it's important that we have something that has. i think this is in many ways recognizing that this department is here to stay. one of the reasons why this -- this department -- maybe the main reason why this department doesn't

the commission cannot take any action until three months have passed since the commissions acceptance of the imp. under the provisions of the imp it is hearing on the travertine has been closed and essentially the commission expresses that it is a complete document. the commission doesn't actually take a vote or an action item on the imp. the last a full imp for the academy of art university was accepted by the planning commission in november of 2,011. as required by code the academy has submitted by annual updates to the department in 2013, 2015, 2017. updates require -- do not require separate planning commissions but these documents were made publicly available to the planning department's website. the enforcement history of this project is lengthy, because of the most recent highlights that were brought to your attention in may of 2016. the city attorney commence litigation against the academy and other related parties alleging violations of the city's administrative code, planning code, building code in the state unfair competition law. the city entered into court to supervise ne

the police commission may be one of the more well-known commissions, has been able to accomplish significant policy changes in recent years, including improving the police department's response to violence against women and children, expanding the use of technology to solve crime, reforming the city's use of force policy, instituting body-worn cameras to increase transparency and improving police-community relations. i think it's hard for us to imagine a police department without a police commission at this stage. second, i want to respond directly to the idea that this commission will slow things down on add bureaucracy. no one has ever said the fire commission makes it harder for the fire department to respond to emergencies. no one has ever said the rec and park commission makes it harder for our city to open new parks. and i don't think anyone has said because we have an airport commission, that planes won't take off. commissions are a critical, integral part of our city's government, because they are there to ensure that the job gets done, not that it gets delayed. they're made up of pe

because commissions require a charter amendment, this is our job to quit the commission as we're thebody that has given the authority. homelessness oversight commission is not a new idea. people have been talking about the need for this for decades. seventeen years ago, in 2002, the civil grand jury did a report on homelessness. their number 1 recommendation at the time was to create a quota charter amendment to establish a department level seven-member commission on homelessness. they recommended we charge this commission to provide oversight of the mayor's office of homelessness and local board, establish clear and accountable public decision-making process and provide physical -- fiscal accountability. since then, the department has become department, it is no longer the mayor's office and its budget has quadrupled in size. i want to respond to the sense that this is going to be creating bureaucracy. i'm calling a commission that bureaucracy has things completely backwards. commissions are not part of the bureaucracy. the reason why our city and every other single big city in the

you have done such a great service to this commission and to the city. it is hard to believe it's been 34 years that you have been here. we wish you the best in your next 34 years of retirement. before we hear from you, i do have a public comment card from nicole. so i thought we would take comments from her first and then hear from you. >> thank you very much. i cannot pass up an opportunity to thank you. i did not eat at your retirement party. we have been working together for almost 20 years, yeah. i have to say, the respect i have for you is amazing. thinking about the work, talking about the contract negotiations. one would think we would be on opposite sides of the table. we certainly sat on opposite sides of the table. i think with your leadership and some other leadership we have been able to respect our constituents. who we represent, and really force something that works for both of them in a better way than we would be. for that i cannot thank you enough. and, i am glad you are coming back. tran21 last person before we hear from you, our attor

i have been on the commission. this is been an item that has not regressed in any way, shape or form. >> i will take it up with the bureau. my most recent communications with my contact there, or that mr. jackson and ms. norman, as he put it, live off the grid. i think that might be the thing. if they were to refer to an outside collections agency, it is possible that the agency would not be able to locate them either. it may have less to do with who is trying to collect and whether it is possible to collect. it is a fair question and i will follow up with them about that. >> i am assuming when you refer to an outside collection agency that they take a cut? i noticed this position that we have of assigned collection officer, which is great, because obviously somebody doesn't have the responsibility of chasing all of those bits and pieces, and it is hard to, you know, make that a priority. do you also look at how much it costs to go after the money. a lot of times, you can end up spending more money on staff time, a

a future commission meeting. commission president's report, then commissioner's report. >> i just want to report, i did it i followed up on something that director henderson said. the court has issued a polemic injunction. we had a hearing set for next week in our session that was going to be closed disciplinary session. the court hasn't joined us for proceeding with that so we will not meet next week. we are not ready to fill in the agenda with other items. our next meeting will be august 7th. is that right? okay. thank you. any other reports? >> i attended the lapd meeting and -- on tuesday and chief, i want to thank you for letting officer car attend that. the portland trainee brought back a lot of great information and we will learn more as we go forward, but one of them is there is an online dictionary for multiple languages for legal language, like the difference between consent and permission, you know, what the legal term is and stuff. that is available online and available to our officers, available to i

we went to the commission i received their approval, state land commission as well. and in the fall of 2018 the mayor signed the transaction document subsequent to board approval. other big developments since approvals. the giants, as you here shortly have added a development partner. the major submittals to the public works department in san francisco including a tentative map application. several contracting milestones have been achieved including hiring a general contractor. hiring architects for the first four buildings in phase 1. hiring a landscape architect and doing all of this, and exceeding a workforce development plan of 10 percent for preconstruction contract expenditures. of significance, and the reason we are here today is to share with you phase 1. we have received a giant phase 1 submittal. staff has reviewed that and found it to be complete. we will continue to review for compliance with all of the terms of the dda report back to you in a few month with an update on that, including your chance to review and approve hopefully the phase budget. phase 1

the next european commission should. be gender balanced and we will then have the hearings in the european parliament in september and october and if things go well we can start on the 1st of never move a new commission she won with a very small margin smaller than many today expected only 9 votes ahead of the absolute majority of 370 votes she needed what does this mean going forward for her work with the european parliament. well regarding the circumstances of the last 2 weeks. i am personally glad that she actually was elected just imagine she would have been elected it would be in a very dire situation so a majority is a majority of course this is a close majority but now she has trust and confidence of the majority of any peace and we have to talk about content we have been talking about people a lot but now we have to walk on a program what to do in the next 5 years in the european union and the future she set out the base today during her speech and also at the hearings the different political groups thank you dav

dan moyer with the capital improvement commission. the item i have before you today is an item for your consideration on an award of two construction contracts for renovating who of the athletic fields. one at silver terrace playground and one at youngblood cole mon and are synthetic turf arsenal and they have been used to death, and they are at a point now where we need to replace the synthetic turf and the amenities such as fencing and bleachers and trash cans and drinking fountains and such. this item has come before you in the last few month where is we actually project and received one bid proposal which was substantially over the engineer's estimate for the project. i requested that the commission go out with the authority to negotiate a contract under the san francisco administration code. so with that direction, i was working closely with the city attorney's office and determined that the best approach on this was to break the project into two bid packages. and so i negotiated two contracts with two different contractors to ex

but before joining the entertainment commission, but joining the entertainment commission has truly been one of the most rewarding experiences i've had. i'm now the president of the commission, which allows me kind of some extra input into the direction that the office goes and what we do. and i can't say how pleasurable it is and how rewarding it is to work with the commission staff. they're extraordinary competent and care deeply about san francisco night life as i do. i think my root of love for night life is night life is for everyone and shouldn't just be for the wealthy. in some cases, it seems that's the case, and i don't think that should be the case here. my philosophy around the entertainment commission is we want to push inclusive options for night live so that everyone in san francisco can feel represented in our night time world, our nighttime economy, etc. i did show you some of my accomplishments during my tenure there, and i wanted to highlight some of the things i'm specifically excited for going forward. these may be a little geeky, but i'm truly excited about them. the
