supervisor daly: thank you, president and colleagues. the issue of affordable housing or lack thereof to be more specific is one of the toughest issues within san francisco. over the course of nine and a half years here at the board of supervisors, it has been an emphasis issue for my office over the entire time. but the lack of affordable housing has been one of the top three issues in san francisco for decades, and will likely continue to be one of the top issues facing san francisco in the decades to come. there have been many efforts to institute an ongoing source of funds to deliver affordable housing, and i would say the good news is that we have a very professional and very competent host of entities that can deliver affordable housing. and on model of housing, that is necessarily a component to deal with things like the homeless crisis in san francisco. it is incredibly important for seniors and working-class families with in san francisco to continue to make san francisco their home. in 1996, i was just the house and organizer.

supervisor daly: i was just going to reword my resolution. president chiu: why don't we go back to supervisor daly's motion and then to supervisor ross mirkarimi's first amendment. >> i still have questions on what we can or cannot do. supervisor mirkarimi: my understanding on my motion is that what we can do is condition our approval of plan on certain changes. so my motion would be to condition the approval of the plan on amendments to -- [inaudible] and affordability levels that i outlined. >> i'm fine with that. at what point do i ask my questions about the overall scope of what we can do? now or after the motion? president chiu: ask at this time. although just to clarify supervisor daly's motion, it's items 12 to 14? if i can ask the deputy city attorney. if i could ask miss adams. if i could ask the deputy city attorney, would supervisor daly's motion be a motion with regards to specific items that we have on the calendar? i think we need to do that. >> let me make one clarification here. we have a redevelopment plan that is being adopt

supervisor daly: the item passes. thank you. i know we will continue this discussion on a few different levels. >> item 15, introduction of new items. this is an information item. supervisor daly: colleagues, any introductory items you would like to present? any public comment on this? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 16, public comment. supervisor daly: last opportunity on public comments. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 17, adjournment. supervisor daly: meeting is adjourned. thank you, colleagues. director ford: good morning, everyone. i would like to call to order [inaudible] >> yes, prior to taking role, i would like to note that directors church and sartpi will not be joining us today. [roll call] mr. chairman, you do have a quorum. item three is communications, and i know of none at this time. director ford: ok, next item. >> item four, board of director's new and/or old business. [no audio] item five, executive director [no audio] >> good morning. today, we have a number of exciting things to

supervisor daly: meeting is adjourned. thank you, colleagues. >> with my artists, eight of them are working in tehran, iran, the capital city, and one is an iranian american based in san francisco. the problem is really a collective exploration in the day and the life in tehran. it is the largest city in the middle east. for the gallery, one of the first pieces you see is one piece which is a laser-cut peace, it taken directly from the map of the city itself -- a laser-cut piece. it represents the geography of the city. it is positioned right next to another work by an artist who took a 77 taxicab runs and let the potholes and the city turns of tehran dictate how the city would be portrayed. >> [singing] >> one of the other pieces that to experience in the one-day exhibition is from another artist, a recording of state radio from tehran, and is played for four speakers. >> [speaking foreign language] . >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> the entire gallery is cove

supervisor daly: the item passes. thank you. i know we will continue this discussion on a few different levels. >> item 15, introduction of new items. this is an information item. supervisor daly: colleagues, any introductory items you would like to present? any public comment on this? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 16, public comment. supervisor daly: last opportunity on public comments. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> item 17, adjournment. supervisor daly: meeting is adjourned. thank you, colleagues. they interfere with the sound system in the room. please refrain from flash photography. if you would, please stand in joint commission in the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the net is states of america, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. thank you, ladies and gentlemen. if you would, please direct your attention to the roll call of commissioners. president joe marshall? president marshall: present. vice-

daly aye. cohen aye. lloyd. aye. ortiz aye. with the chairman abstaining and four ayes from the rest of the group, the item passes. item 12 was optimizing the executive director to issue the second notice to proceed under the tjpa contract 08-08-dm-000, existing terminal and rams demolition to evans brothers for hazardous materials abatement and physical demolition of the terminal, rats, and select buildings upon satisfaction of certain conditions. >> thank you. the mtp for the demolition contract -- we brought evans brothers on board. we receive a bid in october 2009 and brought them on board in january of this year to begin the process of coordinating with the city agencies with mta and with dpt on the planning for the demolition work with the caveat that we come back to when we are ready to move into construction, for authorization of a second notice to proceed, to actually begin the demolition of the transit center and related facilities. the conditions for coming back on the second notice to proceed were that we certify fu

supervisor daly? supervisor daly: the member wants to vote different ways on the same item in front of us, he's allowed to do it but ultimate physical we vote in the affirmative on both, the item would be submitted as currently noticed. no change, no need to renotice. i think that supervisor sean elsbernd may be correct that if it votes one way up, one day down, then it changes and it would need to be re-noticed. >> the elections code requires a -- else what is the difference question? >> you have two separate ballot measures opposed to one. supervisor elsbernd: what we have now is a member wish -- wishing to divide a question and if both parts pass, the file is what it is. it's not two questions. it's one question. if a member wishes to create two ballot measures out of a single ballot measure, he'll have to do that through an amendment which require a motion, a second and six votes in the affirmative to amend the item. >> your analysis is incorrect. they do not need six votes to do that. supervisor

seconded by supervisor daly. supervisor mirkarimi note: it may be used for bicycles, buses, emergency vehicles only and should not be used for private automobiles. i understand, based on the city attorney's legal advisor, it is also a possibility here. i have great concerns about this. hawpe a stadium conducted -- a stadium conducted on the shipyards, it opens it up for private automobiles. this would have to go back to the board of supervisors. .that is all this amendment does. president chiu: supervisor mirkarimi has made a motion. is there a second? seconded by supervisor mar. supervisor campos? supervisor campos: i appreciate some of the amendments that he will be talking about. i have two amendments. the first has to do with the issue of minimum wage, to the extent at the pump that a living wage would apply to those jobs, in my understanding is that there is actually language that has been developed by our friends from labor and the project sponsor, that i would like to make a motion to incorporate that lang

president chiu: supervisor daly. supervisor daly: i think this is a clear case of a procedural opportunity for any member of the board to vote for or against any part of an item that is in front of us. in terms of a question, there's a difference between a question on the ballot which if there's a majority of votes for the divided questions here, which is a different question, will be the properly noticed question and the unamended version of the item. for example, if on numerous occasions i've asked for separate questions, i have voted yes on one and no on the other but a majority voted yes on both items, that didn't require an additional reading at the board of supervisors which it would have if supervisor sean elsbernd's theory here followed on this item. but ultimately what really matters is the board rules, which are painfully clear, that the order of how this moves forward is made by the president of the board of supervisors who is president david chiu. that decision stands unless overturned by a majority here.

supervisor daly: one final question. i think you are talking about questions 15 through and that is kind of what i'm talking about but not exactly. 12, 13 caught my attention. 12 reads, "taxes are high enough. 40%. it is crucial to have quality streets, even if it means taxes." it looks like a majority someone agreed. i understand voters can take two different things at the same time, but that caught my attention. the delta between i am not going to vote for anything and i will vote for that. >> you are asking key questions. on the issue of for or against, testing the limits of interest in sb 83, we did some of that in a march poll. we found support was solid for the measure, so instead we focused on the issue of the untouchable competition with other measures which is something that we fell in the committee was most interested in. we did look at the measure of pushing back and forth on the characteristics of the measure in the march poll. we do have that questionnaire. what we found, essentially, was that we had a solid

. >> supervisor daly: just a quick question. let me start by saying i support moving forward with this measure to the ballot. as a representative to the mtc, i think you are correct when you say that most attorneys in the region are also moving in this direction. that is something that has been discussed at other regional transportation bodies. i know emc did the research in 2003. i am wondering this time around how they were selected? i know that we were already getting pushed back about an out-of-county agency. >> this went through a competitive procurement. in fact, we brought them on board in march. this was awarded by the finance committee. supervisor daly: maybe for the consultant, how did we select a language, in terms of the questions, the actual language on the measures? >> essentially, a quandary with measures that are not already approved for a ballot is what to consider the official language. we used the language that was used in the measures to introduce them to the board of supervisors for local measures. for state

president chiu: rollcall votes to -- supervisor daly. supervisor daly: i am wondering why we would continue several charter amendments until later in the meeting. it's fine. i don't think there needs to be a motion to vote on it. i think we can kind of pass over its. i am not looking to vote against this, but i think i have an attorney's opinion floating around. i just wish everyone will do the right thing all of the items. president chiu: any further discussion? we will have a rollcall vote to continue items 50 and 51. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor daly: no. supervisor dufty: no. supervisor elsbernd: no. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor maxwell: >> superviss absent. there are 6 ayes and 4 no's. president chiu: if we could now called items 52 and 53. -- call items 52 and 53. >> they comprise a special order, sitting as a committee for a public hearing on amendments made to a charter amendment authorizing split appointments. president chiu: i would like to open this hearing in regard to the ch

president chiu: supervisor daly? supervisor daly: one of the largest child care centers was faced with closure. it has been very difficult, i know, for families who have children there, trying to find out what the future is in terms of education. for their families, and then, more generally, in the south of market, so i want to think supervisor alito-pier. i am happy to co-sponsor. president chiu: any further comment, colleagues? a roll-call vote on this item, please. madam clerk: [reading roll] there are nine ayes and two no's. presidentchiu: if we can skip over to item 37. madam clerk: establishing programs for the unified school district. president chiu: supervisor mirkarimi, do you have the amendments to this item? supervisor mirkarimi: fake you, mr. president. yes. allowing for extracurricular events -- thank you, mr. president. learning from that experience and debate, i asked why we do not have a service academy, and the unified school district for the fire department and the sheriff's department -- i have bee

we need to thank chris daly for what he did in district 6. for the mayor, we don't know. you to have some heart, too. we want you to know we have been there with you fake and then. the rent board should reflect diversity in this city. it is time to make san francisco the beacon on the hill. thank you. >> i am a tenants union counselor. i will agree with everybody who has spoken here that certainly having split appointments between the board and the supervisors, i think any renter will tell you is probably going to be a better deal for renters, especially with the mayor we currently have an opposite -- in office. there is no public funding for tenants that are facing eviction. if you are served as an unlawful detainer, you have no choice but to lose your housing. if you have no money for an attorney, even if you do have money for the attorney, -- sorry, i am not very well prepared. the analogy is being charged with a criminal offense. you can't defend or be screwed. most tenants are not flush with cash. we need a strong and impartial rent board in terms of not favoring lan

supervisor mar: supervisor daly is suggesting that someone from dcyf, that we try to get comments from dcyf as well. >> should i finish? i do believe there are representatives from dcyf present also. there was concern about doing an entire audit. our understanding is that the controller's office has just completed some work looking at some of the programs and nonprofits that are provided. we have begun looking at that, and that will be one of the starting point. because of that, there was also concerned about early childhood education and care, and that area in specific is what we would be looking at. we would identify those city departments that actually provide early childhood education and care. these would include dcyf, human services agency, the first five commission, department of public health, recreation and park, and other city departments. we would also evaluate if the city policies and standards for providing early childhood care and education are contradictory or inconsistent. we have some understanding that there are different programs that are going on by different city a

would like to speak out in opposition to this, so in a certain sense, i am agreeing with supervisor daly. the reason i'm opposing this is that it seems to me that this organization was very well run, and according to the newspaper reports, she was removed and necessarily, so if we are going to do any audit of that agency, i think we ought to start with why she was removed. according to my research, everyone agreed that she had done such a fine job, but somehow, she met the same fate as myself. in other words, if you are an able city employee, somehow, they find a reason to remove you. anyway, back to this motion, i think it is more relevant since ms. newman repeatedly says that she has so many hours to do audits. as a public service to san francisco, especially the poor and disabled, we ought to be doing it on san francisco general hospital, and if ms. newman feels she has enough time, we ought to do the whole department of public health. it's still baffles my mind why almost every supervisor has opposed any formal inquiry into san francisco general hospital and department of public heal

daly aye. cohen aye. lloyd aye. ortiz aye. ford aye as well. item 12 is approved. director daly: i know it has been approved, but really quickly, to make sure, is this going to be included on some of the community outreach stuff we're doing in terms of publicizing the schedule so folks in the area can try to get ready for it? >> absolutely. we have had a number of ongoing meetings regarding the entire schedule with all the neighbors in the area, and we are continuing to have even more community meetings, yes. director daly: ok, but specifically on the street closures? >> specifically on the street closures. am ok, we will move into item 13, approving the design concept and budgets for the four recommended artists -- james carpenter, julie chang, jenny holzer and ned kahn and authorizing the executive director to enter into an agreement with each of the artists for design development, construction documents, predicted mr. engine, an oversight of navigation and installation. >> is with great pleasure to present this to you. we are presenting four artists where there

director daly: got it. director ford: questions? all right. >> would like to have webcor present the monthly sbe update. >> good morning, directors. wanted to give my monthly update on sbe activities. last couple of meetings, i talked about rq. on june 15, we received rq's and out of that, we've got 11 sbe's . we have seven qualified sbe's that will be feeding on the work. it was a good turnout of from our june 8 average rating. the other activity going on is we are developing sbe goals for the budget shoring and excavation scope. we are working with dbi currently to finalize currentlysbe goal -- finalize those sbe goal percentage is. we anticipate we will have the finalized version of the package at the end of the month. >> thank you. now, our public outreach update will be given by courtney. >> good morning. just wanted to give you a quick update on where we are at with our ongoing public outreach efforts. we have installed sine is on the terminal. the ban is one of last night, along with all the moving sign it announcing the augu

. >> mayor daly is still there. in chicago, they figured out how to tweak it a little. >> no kidding. >> thanks a lot, scott. >>> we have another reason for you to be bay area proud this

supervisor daly: thank you, madame president. let me thank supervisor combos -- campos for his work on it. if your reliance on the bus or happen to be a progressive member of the board of supervisors, that is apple pie, and i think in this sense it was created to deal with a couple of rounds of reforms in an attempt to create an independent agency. what we have succeeded in doing is transferring power in terms of decision making on budget, on service, on fares, etc., to the mayor, because of how the government works with the appointments, and i think with a high-profile removal after the mayor's reelection, it is clear that politics can be played in commissions, and when riders go to there additional supervisors, it is frustrating to refer them to the mta where there is little to no responsiveness in terms of the commission, so i think this makes a lot of sense. the only question i have is which one of you are going to throw in your sword to kill it. i believe supervisor avalos and either the only ones who are not listed as co-sp

supervisor daly: no. supervisor
