>>commissioner cleaveland: commissioner hardeman? >> commissioner hardeman: thank you for your extensive reports as usual, chief. thank you. commissioner covington reported on the june 21st budget, and i watched the june 15th, where you really were very -- very good on your feet. didn't stumble. you represented yourself and the fire department very well. and you gave a little tip to director corso. he got to get up and make a couple words. you both have done a great job on the budget. i think from the time i got on this commission where we all had to sort of keep our mouth shut, i felt sorry for the chief because it was so difficult times of -- you had to be careful about criticizing the mayor or the board of supervisors for not allotting the funds because the money just wasn't there. and the chief had to take it on the chin for a number of years because the department was so underfunded, but now, it's nice to see it's doing well. chief baker and i were just talking. we were talking about kids and having to work, the parents, and i was complimenting

commissioner hamasaki? >> commissioner hamasaki: can you, commissioner mazzucco. i just wanted to follow up and let the public know there was an agendaized item tonight, item four, regarding the discussion on an addendum to the m.o.u. between the city, the department and cal d.o.j. i asked the vice president to take that item off the calendar. i had a chance to speak with a representative of the mayor's office, the cal d.o.j., hillard hines which is the consultant that's working on the d.o.j. reforms, and i had a nice conversation with the chief this afternoon, and we discussed basically strengthening the -- some of the language in the addendum, so we are going to put that back on calendar -- or the intention is to put that back on calendar on august 1, so that's why we're removing it from calendar tonight, but it will be addressed at the next meeting. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you for explaining that. commissioners, anything further? okay. it's time for public comment. >> clerk: public comment on items 1(a) through (d). >> commissioner mazzucco: good evening

commissioner. commissioner singh? >> commissioner singh: i just want to know can you tell me the salaries are on this? >> average salary range for the five positions we are talking about range from as long as $150 to at least $1,150. >> commissioner singh: comparab? >> yeses the. each tied to comparable city and we saw these were off so hired outside analysis to come in and look at our work and they agreed the same and we didn't want to harm the employee so we created a line b to project the employee for line a so they would not be stuck at this salary and will get the cost of living increase along with the other staff. i hope that answers you question. >> commissioner singh: okay. >> >> commissioner rosales: tha. i just had a question. am i reading this correctly that there is 101 positions? >> correct. they are not all filled. >> >> commissioner rosales: that was my next question. i just want to know what is our current how many employees? >> 151. >> >> commissioner rosales: fulm e? >> one or two that are part-time. >> >> commissio

commissioner. commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: that's not something that i thought of, what commissioner moore said, honestly. but i agree with her. i don't think we should slow the project down, but i would like to see more context in relationship to the hub, because we will do an e.i.r. for the pub itself. it's probably a project from the case number, that's been in the hopper for quite some time. it will be moving forward. comments i have are on at least the -- i find myself asking these same questions from prior e.i.r.s. because it's eligible to be on the california register, if you were to apply, is it a sure thing? that's a rhetoriceceiprer rhet. we had 150 eureka here last week and it's also eligible. we got into a discussion with the project sponsor and they said it's not historic, but it's eligible. with the is the definition of historic resource? that's one. the other one is, and i've had this on other projects, i understand the building has the seven elements of integrity. however, how many other buildings lik

commissioner mazzucco, i'd like to call roll. >> commissioner mazzucco: please do. [roll call] >> clerk: commissioner mazzucco, you have a quorum. also with us tonight is paul henderson, the director of the department of police accountability and acting assistant chief moeser on behalf of chief scott. >> commissioner mazzucco: and chief scott is on his way. >> clerk: yes. >> commissioner mazzucco: and do have a deletion on tonight's agenda? >> clerk: yes. we have item four. that will be placed on a later agenda. >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you very much. well, ladies and gentlemen welcome to the wednesday, july 18, 2018 san francisco police commission meeting. without further adieu, please call line item number one -- actually, we're going to have -- the first matter would be the chief's report, and he's not here. >> clerk: well, do you want me to take it out of order? >> commissioner mazzucco: we'll take it out of order and go to the d.p.a. director. >> clerk: item 1(a), chief's report. item 1(b), d.p.a. report.

. >> commissioner hamasaki: -- >> commissioner mazzucco: thank you. for the record, i'm choking on these mints. commissioner dejesus? >> commissioner dejesus: i'm the representative for the website redesign. so i went yesterday, and they're going to have the department redesign and our redesign. working with the commission staff, we found some areas that we didn't really think belonged with us, so we made some really good recommendations, what they'd like to say. i'm going to have sergeant kilshaw type up, what it looks like right now, but that's not how it's going to remain because we made recommendations. maybe we can include some of those notes on there, but i think you should look at it, if there's something that you think is missing or something that you'd like to see that isn't on there, we're pretty much adding to the standard, like the d.o.j. reforms. that was a list, and they broke out some of them, the use of force. we decided we would have a reverse chron. where you can see the most recent first. there's a lot of things -- there's a lot of things that were added. so we'll send it to you and we wo

commissioner johnck: i'm aware of that. it can be confined to a very specific area as you describe. >> commissioner johns. >> commissioner johns: i think that the report and the documentation is absolutely vital. commissioner johnck mentioned the importance of the setting, and i had -- what had been bothering me is the setting. for what it's worth, i don't think that either the full preservation alternative or the partial preservation alternative are adequate at all. i don't think anything can be done to save this little gem. i think it has served its time in battle. it served it well. but it is now time for the end, and what i kept thinking about was this reminded me of what happened to the hoffman grill on market street. just east of new montgomery. and if you think about that, there was an attempt to preserve the building and wrap another building all the way around it. and for many reasons it didn't work, and just sits there looking, i think a bit peculiar. now, neither the full preservation or the partial preservation will wrap the new building around the old, well, not competely, not on top anyway. but this little guy is

commissioner koppel? >> commissioner koppel: i'm going to agree with commissioner moore on this. oric monuments and gathering places, more than you think there are downtown, and if -- they're a still civic and public part of the city even if there are mostly public buildings. somewhere else i would be supportive of this. i'm not supportive of this at this location. this is a very heavily gathered part of downtown, and also, i was going to make a point that there's often a lot of tourists in this neighborhood that may be getting off at the transbay terminal or may just be visiting. whenever i run into tourists, i tell them to walk up and down market street and all up and down the embarcadero and fisherman's wharf and north beach. i wouldn't want to steer these people in the direction of provide for only certain people used of cafes on the ground floor visible on market street. >> commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: so i guess to the project sponsor. is there i away to have the public access any part of this even for just a takeout so that we can still have your cafeter

>> commissioner lee. >> aye. >> commissioner bleiman. >> aye. >> a commissioner thomas. >> aye. >> commissioner camino. >> aye. >> a commissioner perez. >> aye. >> i think you can't vote on that. >> perfectly fine. thank you, everyone. have a good weekend. i am recusing myself and leaving. and passing the gavel over to commissioner thomas. >> yep. >> so the commission is pleased to report that the search for new executive director of the entertainment commission -- we have to wait until he leaves the room? >> you can take public comment on this first. so you can stay if you want. >> is there any public comment on that? on this matter? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> thank you, president tan. >> thank you for bearing with us through this. so the commission is pleased to report that the search for a new executive director of the entertainment commission is underway, and that this evening the commission will discuss and possibly select nominees to submit to the mayor. the san francisco administrative code and the brown act allow for that discussion to be held in closed session. if the co

commissioner moore. commissioner richards is fair and unbiased. he's not an idealogue or partisan. commissioner moore, we support her because she has an extensive background in planning and she has integrity and she has the commitment to balance new projects. both commissioners have been sensitive to the tenants issues and unlike the partisan issues of not being tenants in a city that's made up of 65% tenants. these two have stood up to tenants that are victims of rent eviction and saved them. thank you very much. >> supervisor safai: thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. coalition for san francisco neighborhoods. i congratulate all of you for your nomination and support of katherin moore and dennis richards. they've proven to be excellent, excellent planning commissioners and they've supported the neighborhoods many times, not always the traditional, wealthy contributors that seem to run the city so often. so it's very nice to see justice prevail in this one moment. thank you very much. >> supervisor safai: thank you, sir. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. gary weiss, presid

commissioner wolfram: yeah. where you are on the toilet trail. [laughter] >> commissioner pearlman: right. and is that grass or lavender on the roof? >> commissioner hyland: real quick as a follow-up to commissioner johnck and commissioner pearlman, on the interactive displays. we've been talking to project sponsors, ocean wide, is it? they will have some interactive interpretive kiosks based on what was lost in that area. we've also talked to the various departments with the cultural heritage assets committee and having an ability to tie in and i think the cultural center is under the commission's purview, right? a lot of the oral histories and a lot of the cultural, intangible, cultural assets, that were expanded by the cultural centers, having access to the information. i don't want to expand the scope of their contract, but it's the archivist at the library. there's an immense amount of information that's digitally available and having that as somehow incorporated into wherever we can get it incorporated so they can be connected and accessed would be good. >> beth rubenstein, public works. i forgot to mention, thank you, that there are three t

commissioners? [inaudible] >> vice president melgar: commissioner koppel? >>. >> commissioner koppel: just one question fore the project sponsor. what do you have planned for the basement? >> there is no basement. >> commissioner koppel: there's a basement in the drawings. >> there's no basement. >> commissioner koppel: just saying drawing a-2 had a basement plan. >> this is common space to that the building occupants can access the guard where my wife likes to guard so it's for the benefit of everyone in the building. >> vice president melgar: is that -- is that it commissioner? commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: so i think the design's improved much over what it was before. i like the idea that the two middle units are around the same square footage. more power to you for expanding the top. the roof deck is small so i have no issue with that. the only issue i have is the common space in the future becoming a new unit number through with the merger of the two units above so i would like to take d.r. approve the project with a notice of special restriction to the

thank you, samra for doing all the work and helping us get her. >> commissioner mazzucco: commission commissioner elias. >> commissioner elias: thank you. i guess my question would be how we would get the police department with respect to the firearm review board. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner dejesus? >> commissioner dejesus: i was -- first of all, i want to applaud you for telling us next steps. the serious review board is something that's near and dear. i think i've been asking for a variety of different reviews. so i would ask to put it on calendar, whether this commission will agree to put together a working group with the department and all the different groups that we're going to include to talk about serious incident review board and moving that forward in terms of following the recommendation. i also think we should calendar whether we should have quarterly reports for the domestic violence to give the five days so we can camera out and do what needs to be done with that so we can be in compliance with the law. and the third thing is if no commissioner would sit on the language thing, i'm more than ha

it was actually at that time commissioner breed and myself and commissioner king and commissioner singh to allow the certificates of preference passed on so more people could come to san francisco, come back to their roots and i would love for us through the director to send a note of congratulations to the mayor-elect from the body that she once sat on and then maybe we could all sign it. i think that would be a nice little touch for us to be able to let her know we are still here, and that we are still doing the good work. so, i would like to acknowledge that publicly, i hope we can do that. >> commissioner bustos, yes, congratulations to mayor-elect london breed. maybe do it better and meet up with former commissioner, london breed and new mayor-elect london breed. thank you. any other commissioner -- >> i was there with her in sunset district on last thursday, so it's, you know, we open up our office there. >> you were -- >> yeah. >> which office was this? >> london breed, sunset office. >> oh, yeah. >> what you call the campaign office. >> the campaign office, yes, thank you. >> th

lastly, i wanted to congratulate commissioner fong, commissioner johnson, commissioner moore, for passing rules 3-0 each on their renominations. one of the items that i was questioned on by supervisor yee involves family housing and what does the definition of family housing and he indicated that the supervisors passed a resolution to ask the planning commission to come up with a definition. i was unaware of that, but i promised him that we would put it on our action items list. so we don't want him to take his vote back come next week if he doesn't see i'm doing that. we had one last week, i think it was a ted egan redo, to talk about the economy, because we're hearing rumblings about where we are on the economic cycle. that would be informative. thank you. >> clerk: seeing nothing further, commissioners, announcements. >> i'm doing everything i can to keep the planning department from becoming a zombie agency. i have one item to report. regarding a story about a project at 4527 20th street. this article was posted on monday regarding the demolition of a single-family home at that site.

commissioners. commissioner moore? >> commissioner moore: it is highly unusual that we have to look at two proposals and say where are the pros and cons? i do take the first page comment by the department rather seriously. design option a is not in compliance with residential design comments issued in 2018. so that means we should not be considering option a. that leaves option b. option b., i want to be very critical. i will differ from it. it is not a particularly designed -- well-designed set of units. anybody who can look at residential unit designed would say that there is a lot of -- a lot about nothing. they are large and they will probably fit larger families than the one representing here. we are speaking about 1800 square feet and raising three children. perhaps that is not a discussion that we can take as a metric on this building. it is basically the only option b. that i am personally considering entertaining to be discussed. i am curious what the other commissioners have to say. >> president hillis: i will chime in. this

commissioner johnson. >> second. >> and then all right, take that item up now. ok. so -- we'll call the vote on the recusal. >> right. >> go ahead. >> on that motion to recuse commissioner johnson. [roll call vote taken] >> so moved, commissioners. commissioner johnson, you are harbor recused. commissioner richards. >> there is a motion that has been seconded to approve this matter with conditions. excuse me, with modifications, on that motion -- [roll call vote taken] >> so moved, commissioners. passes unanimously 5-0. commissioners, that will place us on item 10, 2018-007346pca, permit review procedures for ncds in d4 and d11. >> diego sanchez. i'll be presenting an ordinance proposing to amend the planning code to create a two-year pilot program removing public notice on planning commission review for the commercial district, ncds, and 4 and 11. also proposes to modify zoning controls for certain uses in the supervisor districts as well. before i begin the presentation, provide supervisors tang and safai the legislative sponsors with time to present to you. >> thank you very much, planning commissioners, good afternoon, i promise this is the last of my appearances before you before recess, i think. so, this is actually one o

commissioner koppel? >> commissioner koppel: let's see if we're where we need to be? motion to approve the project. >> clerk: we need to certify the e.i.r. first. >> commissioner koppel: motion to certify the e.i.r. >> clerk: very good, commissioners. on that motion, motion to certify the environmental impact report, on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: that motion fails, 3-3, with commissioners moore, richards, and melgar voting against. >> president hillis: commissioner koppel? >> commissioner koppel: motion to continue. >> clerk: very good. for items 14 and 15, to what date? and again, your calendars are impacted through september 6 but you can choose whatever date you like. >> commissioner koppel: september 13. >> clerk: is there a second? >> commissioner moore: second. >> clerk: thank you. on that motion, then, to continue this matter to september 13 -- >> president hillis: would it be good if we can -- you know, i think commissioner moore brought up interesting -- on the zpidesign, you're asking t look at the building that's set back. i kind of like the building that's on the ground floor adjacent to the historic facade, but i think you're asking to l

commissioners? commissioner covington. >> commissioner covington: i move that we authorize this request. >> do i have a second? commissioner veronese seconds it. all in favor of approving the request say aye. it's unanimous, thank you. >> item five. chief of department's report. report from chief of department joanne hayes-white on events within the department sense the fire commission meeting on june 27, 2018 including budget academy, special events, communications and outreach to other government agencies and public report from the administration, deputy chief janeane nicholson on administrative divisions and homeland security and training within the department and report from chief of operations, mark gonzalez, on overall field operations including greater alarm fires, emergency medical services, bureau of fire preemption and airport division. >> i'm aware on june 11th president cleaveland you asked to withhold on that meeting so that all of you can attend inauguration of the new mayor. i like to congratulate our new mayor on leading our city and continuing to get the great support from the mayor'

commissioner koppel. commissioner moore and commissioner richards. great. that item passes. item number 2 on your calendar. i should say calendar three, comments and questions. >> commissioner richards. >> commissioner richards: two things first. on roosevelt way it was a section 3, 17 demo -- demolition in my neighborhood and we as a commission had asked -- we approved the demolition and i got a card in the mail that it's being sold now so back to the commission for getting the additional unit in my neighborhood. i didn't want to tell you what the price is. i probably can't afford it. interestingly, on the way here i grabbed a copy of... and there was an article that i have yet to finish because i was too depressed to finish reading it called "busted: the horrors of the recession to come" and this morning i thought that it was a while since our economist ted eagan has come and given us a briefing on where he thinks that the city is going and i'd like to ask the president and the v.p. to have mr. eagan come again and let us know about the state of the economy in san francisco

commissioner. any other commissioners wish to weigh in on this? >> commissionerese: i welcome any discussion any form. it sounds like really good use of our time. on the agenda item, i want to mention one oath thing, commissioner covington set up a visit to the chief's residents. we did visit and thank you chief and owed -- we had close to 35,000 employees who had a resident owned by the city. this chief opted not to use it for whatever relationship. it is there and it is in need of some repair but it did look as though, pretty sturdy building, habit am all. i was wondering in the last budget, there was a call for a million dollars to go towards the repair of the chief's resident. we wanted to get an idea of what that was going towards and if that was actually a real number or if there's a real number that's higher or lower or whatever it is. >> covingto i was remised not mentioning the tour of chief of department's residence. i been there many times. numerous enjoyable occasions there under previous chief. at one of our meetings, i did say a a vacant house was t
