of the commission.t had been the result of two years of hearings at the commission. and at that time you said that you didn't support it because you felt that it was a step too far for the commission to put something on the ballot. and that you were not concerned -- not committed to its impact on non-profits. in retrospect, as now as we have seen with the public integrity reports, do you have any second thoughts about that vote? >> vice-chair lee: thank you, commissioner bush. i stand by my vote at that time. and i remember i stressed very strongly the need to really make a differentiation between what we mean by "non-profit." i came from non-profit, community-serving organizations. and the way that i understood at that time, the proposed language did not make a differentiation between, say, a non-profit, friends of the opera, than a community non-profit that provides food and other assistance to immigrant families, to childcare centers. so i remember that we went through that a lot. and, again, my unde

the european commission and thus the member states, the member states and thus the european commissions, which is quite normal because in normal times, the commission, as was always the case, is accused of spreading money away without taking into consideration what is happening on the ground. so the european union was too budget—conscious whereas others were not because they wanted to fight against the pandemic development, which the european union did not do to the full extent. but it's always the same story — the commission is accused to be... ..to spread helicopter money around, and that's why the european commission had inside her brain this budget break. and that was a major mistake, which should not have happened. but it happened. ..to spread helicopter money around, and that's why the european commission had inside her brain this budget break. and that was a major mistake, which should not have happened. but it happened. let's get to the vexed issue of relations between the eu and britain in the light of the vaccine roll—out. there was a very interesting headline some weeks ago

that got interpreted by the commission as the commission shall never review any regulations ever. no one has standing to go to court and say commission, you got this wrong. so the net effect is the commission figured out they could ignore provisions they did not particularly like to deal with. michael: to give credit to the commission, so many -- hours and days were invested by staff to implement many provisions we cared so desperately about. they had a lot on their plate. i think some of the aftereffects and -- it's only good for a time and my views in terms of how much you can hold the regulatory body, if there is one, their feet to the fire, and it is probably a five-year window and after that, you see staff and trade and no one ever contemplated -- and that is what we are left with today. it's probably not expected or not appropriate but hopefully the lessons from it will be something people will live with and i will share my views on some of these things and you will as well and i certainly hope many of the spalls that lived through the 96 act are carried through. i know i ca

21-22 and 22-23 and requesting the youth commission to report. >> chair haney: thank you, youth commission, for your hard work and advocacy. with that, i will turn it over to calvin quick and sarah chung. >> all right. thank you, chair haney. good afternoon, supervisors, members of the committee. my name is calvin quick. i'm the district five representative for the san francisco youth commission. i am here today with my colleagues to present on our preliminary budget recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year. next slide, please. so as i'm sure the committee notes, the youth commission is the county's only charter advisory board charged with making recommendations to the mayor as well as the board on the unmet need of the housing of san francisco youth. our purpose is to give you a holistic overview so that you can take the information and make decisions accordingly. next slide, please. >> hello, supervisors. my name is adriana. i am the district seven youth commissioner and outreach officer. so internally, the youth commission has three committees of its own that work on their own and g

commission and discuss it with the small business commission to see how we can put it forward. i just want to reiterate to our two staff that presented today about the national trust for historic preservation's grant program and ask if you can just do a simple request for them, and with that, i think there's a motion and a second, is that right, jonas? >> clerk: yes, there's been a motion and a second to adopt all of these businesses for legacy business adoption. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously, 7-0. commissioners, that'll place us on the final item on today's agenda, number 8. case 2019-022126-coa-04, at 55 hagiwara tea garden drive. this is for a certificate of appropriateness, and please note, this was originally heard on february 17, 2021, and after closing public comment, this matter was continued to today's date. and through the chair, after staff presents, rec and park will be provided with five minutes for their presentation, and members of the public, as this is the second hearing, will be provided with 30

so the commission did -- one of the issues that the commission looked at was how do we increase propensity for critical skills and we have included a number of recommendations to do that. what i would say is that the -- this not only recruiting those individuals with critical skills it is also having the pathway and also the processes to be able to keep them once they're in as well. and so, the process needs to be looked at whole listicly. >> what about student loan forgiveness? is that an option here that should be expanded for them? >> the -- the commission -- we looked at benefits in general. i don't recall that we came out on any specific recommendation on student loans specifically. >> there is an option now to have -- >> correct. >> -- student loans forgiven. i hate that word because it makes it sound like an act of magnificence. but people who do public service are actually contributing and in effect paying off their student loans. but one of the proposals that i, and others, have advocated that i think would be extremely attractive to national service is expanding the options avail

and the ones i deputy know didn't knowabout way the racial equity commission. we actually work with them on issues. and i find those to be actually super interesting and things we need to work on. and lastly, legacy business. i think we need to work more on legacy business. we shouldn't just have legacy business legislation, but we should actually promote that from the standpoint of how do we build community and help these local businesses grow and thrive through covid and amazon and everything else. and i want to give my last pitch out to (indiscernable) because we have all of these great places in san francisco and people. the perfect amount is the bar house. we should have a bar code so people can click it and see what these fabulous women did. so thank you very much, rules committee, for allowing me to speak today. >> chairman: thank you, mr. foley. i want to note for the record that mr. foley fills the seat that historic preservation professional, or a professional in a field of law use, community planning, or urban design. indeed, mr. foley does have very

i think the witness and the commission and staff and national service commission for their work, bold ideas, and call to action for a better america. years i look forward to your testimony. >> thank you, mister chairman. thank you for holding this hearing today. i am very interested in the report from the national commission. i guess there are three. we will share find out the recommendations that will come with them. we need to get everybody in on this deal. i think the american people deserve that end this hearing today is an excellent start. i want to make sure i am pronouncing this right. somebody help me. and commissioner khazei, welcome. glad you are here today. i think the commissioners for their hard work in every page of the report. your work is important for the future of our national security. i have a unique perspective because i was a product of the draft at a time that i didn't want to be drafted. i don't think out to be alive today if it hadn't been for the time that i spent. i think if they had gone through a basic training with the way it was in the good old days and

, ethics commission. according to what we see in united states, we have 50 states in america. 27 states that are republican run cities and states, they are open, open for business. they're open to travel, there's no curfew, and they're opening public schools. but look around you in san francisco. what have you done to damage? your meetings are not productive, have been killing san francisco in the entire 2020. now, we are talking about 2021. please have a heart for san francisco. reopen san francisco public schools. 100% open san francisco business. 100% open san francisco. the government needs to function for people to lead open safe lives. advocate for yourself, your safety. advocate for your family, for all the people in san francisco. be open. do not let the 18 lawless politicians, corrupted immoral politicians to continue to hold onto the city, hold the city hostage. we see it from other states. reopen san francisco. forget about your lawless members. you fail the public agenda as an ethics commissio

this is new commission business. so, if it's something that you would like, francesca can answer your question. >> i have a question about the bill that's going through the california legislature right now, and statewide water ability assistance program. do we know where we stand on that and -- >> commissioner, since this is not on the agenda, we can ask that staff bring back correspondence on that. >> that would be great. thank you. >> secretary: you are welcome. >> president maxwell: thank you. public comment on this? do we need to open public comment? since -- public comment, please. >> secretary: members of the public who wish to make two minutes of public comment specifically on item 17, new commission business, dial 1-415-655-0001, 1463502017 pound pound. raise your hand to speak, star three. please note you must limit comments to the topic of the agenda item being discussed. and remind you if you do not stay on topic. chair can interrupt. we ask public comments be made in a civil and respectful manner and refr

beyond the issue the commission it - - commission explored greater attitude among the united states youth including an increased propensity for military service this is an increasingly urgent matter today nearly 25 percent of america's youth aged 17 through 24 meet military entrance requirements. the most recent data from the defense department reveals only 10 percent of youth now show a propensity to serve in the military and it continues to drop. raising the question how the military service can reach the mission without sacrificing quality. the issue is more fundamental than the question of who is required to register for military service. who is expected to serve, who wants to serve, who has the opportunity, not just in the military but the national public service as well. these are questions of national character and aspirations why we expanded the commission's mandate to include national and public service. the national commission on public service, otherwise known as a local report stated that the notion of public service once probably pursued the talented americans of every genera

commission values? are there changes that the commission would like staff to incorporate? so i will pause there. >> president brandon: okay. first question, commissioner woo ho. >> commissioner woo ho: yeah. i actually don't have an issue with the way you've presented it, brad, in terms of the context of the waterfront pavilion. but tying it back to our discussion on the strategic plan and i think, elaine, you articulated it earlier the struggle of equity and resilience, etc.. so my reaction when i look at the original wording in the strategic plan which was a broader statement about resilience and not specifically to just reduce seismic and climate change risk is i agree that the priority on resilience at the moment as a value for part of the strategic plan is to reduce seismic and climate change risk, but then, we've just been through a pandemic and to be able to be sure that we have resilience in terms of everything that we do to be prepared for contingency that's going to hit us is important. so i w

and i want to thank commission president bernal for the way that he welcomed me on this commission, for the way that he spoke to me about the duties, for the way that he onboarded me, along with vice president green, incredibly generous with their time, and looking out for my interests here and ability to contribute. so i think for me personally, it's an easy choice. i also think that for all of us and for the community, san francisco's been through a lot, and the world has been through a lot in the last year. the leadership of this commission and with the department of public health, but i'm right now specifically talking about president bernal. the leadership that president bernal has provided for the commission, from my perspective as a new person, diving into this time when so much has been requested and required and demanded of the department and the commission, and it has been very smooth, and the department of public health has done an extraordinary job, and i believe this commission has done an extraordinary job in rising to the occasion. and we're not through the pandemic, we'r

many of the speakers also spoke at the commission hearing -- many of the people who spoke at the commission hearing also spoke during the board hearing and brought up similar issues and concerns. once the presentations ended on both sides, supervisor peskin indicated he was going to vote to uphold the appeal. his comments were echoed the same way by commissioner chan at the hearing on october 1 and later endorsed by commissioners moore and imperial. he also brought up the issue with some questionable short-term activity on the site but never explained why this should be used to deny the condominium conversion. at the end of the presentation, supervisor pes tin made a motion to deny the appeal and uphold the denial. the board approved and supervisor preston recused because of his previous work on the case. and that is all i have for you today. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, mr. starr. on behalf of the deputy zoning administrator, the board of appeals did meet yesterday evening and considered two items that may be of interest to the planning commission. 1812 through 1816 green street. the bo

[laughter] >> i think i've only been on the commission the past year and it's been through zoo and i wish we would have spent a lot more time together in-person and in real life because i do miss those moments and just before and after meetings where you really helped put me at ease and helped me kind of understand the lay of the land and in terms of what is going to happen and when things happen and stuff like that and on top of that i appreciate all of the personal connections that you know we've been able to make and it's harder now because i don't know exactly, you know, how i'm supposed to text you and when i'm supposed to text and you stuff like that. i really do hope that we stay in tough and i really am looking forward to staying abreast of your future success and this is very exciting for you and i'm totally rooting for you and i'm just going

the commission included the nation does not need a new model of emergency response. the components of an integrated national response capability or present within the u.s. national response framework however significant execution challenges do exist particularly when a crisis impacts numerous states simultaneously or extends over a prolonged time. not. gaps and breakdowns in the systems and operations in abstract communication court nation and surgeon supply chains across all sectors throughout the covid-19 response. until these weaknesses are addressed future pandemics natural disasters and coordinate its cyber attack will have the ability to imperil our citizens crippler infrastructure threaten our economy and put our national security at risk. now is the time for transformational thinking about emergency response strategies policies and processes. the commissions call to action offers 11 recommendations for redesigning a response capability to embrace 21st century realities and how the u.s. handles national crises. they are focused in three areas facilitating comm

commission? >> april 28th. >> okay. because some of my questions i think you could answer then if they are using the time now. i just want to give you a heads up what i will be asking so you can answer then. some is basic in the sense that to refresh my old memory p.u.c., in a different unit before your position was created. i need to bereminded where the p.u.c. was. i think i know but i want to be sure. somewhere along the line your position is there because it is a breakoff position, if you will. the p.u.c. so i wanted to hear the concept of the idea of breaking it off wherever it was. the emphasis of the new position with yourself. that was a historical basis that i needed to be able to understand. the other question was on the sea water pump station. i know that commissioner covington has referred to. what you answered was adequate for me at this particular time. basically when i see things like the grand jury report, act now before it is too late as well as when we talk about the west side.

there was no planning commission -- planning commission approval requirement. >> i believe this was awithin that time, and until now, i'm trying to understand whether there has been discussion at a conversation or outreach in that duration of time. >> the building itself was completed -- it was an existing building. this is something -- [indiscernible] the proposal only came together in 2020. >> okay. i have a question. thank you very much. i have a question to you. many of the comments were referring to the mission area plan and in our document, of course,, the zoning we have -- [indiscernible] >> we don't site the plan requirements when we do adr analysis. i will say, unless there is something that is overt within the area plan, like in terms of the objectives and policies that would apply to this, generally speaking the missionary plan includes broad policy and encourage businesses and encourage varying degrees. the hard part in this is the planning code defines this as a limited restaurant use. a coffee shop. we don't go into the area plan as a who. >> typically, the mission area

or maybe the commission, you need to go to another commission or a somewhere else. it's not a d.b.i. complaint anymore. or we can say, hey, you didn't get to the steps, can we refer you to, you know, within the department and go through and see if you can resolve at that level? because we get so many complaints from the public about my process wasn't followed, i wasn't treated fairly and i know as commissioners we want to respond to the public, but we also don't want to, you know, kind of overburden the department, because we're each individually asking the same question, so you're having to respond to us individually as commissioners. i'm a process person. when there is a clear process, we all do better. i would like to see that process. if you could come with something, this is our written protocol, this is what people are looking for, that would help me discern how we can then operate as a commission with the public's interests in mind. thank you. >> absolutely. >> president mccarthy: thank you. commissioner bito? >> commissioner bito: i have no questions at this

>> chairman: this commission meeting of wednesday, march 3, 2021, to order. this commission meeting is being conducted pursuant to the provisions of the brown act and recent executive orders issued by the governor to facilitate teleconferencing to reduce the risk of covid-19 at public meetings. ordinarily, the brown act has strict rules, and the governor's executive order has suspended those rules. the executive order requires that we continue to notice meetings in advance. the department has met all of the applicable requirements. as noted on the agenda, members of the public may attend this meeting on sfgovtv.org, and they may offer public comment by calling the published comment phone number. i would like to welcome the members of the public and staff for watching us live on sfgovtv. the commission asks for your patience during these unprecedented times. we respectfully ask the commission to have patience and to expect delays and gaps during the meeting. to eliminate background interference, all panelists and presenters are asked to mute themselves when no

i am bringing it to the commission because the commission was enthusiastic when we checked in on worker co-op. then i began developing this proposal. >> great. >> so it is exciting work and i think it takes a big chunk of staff time to work on the co-op project when it doesn't have a legislative home. so i would just, i think every piece of work on our work plan should have a pathway to policy implementation and so i just want to maybe step back and say if there are other commissioners, chair chan or commissioner mar, that are interested in taking this back to the board of supervisors, that maybe we hold off on projects that don't have a home or a sponsor. so that's one that i just want to flag. also, the e-bike program, which i think you said was not moving forward because of the department of the environment did not get their grant. >> that's right commissioner. i'm not asking that i have any role on that at all. i just wanted to flag it for you as i'm hoping we will move forward at a different home. >> okay. great. >> i am interested in the post proposition 22 survey project. it soun
