watch out, san francisco if chris daly becomes a member of the california bar. your tenacity is simply impressive, and i think we have yet to hear the last few things about chris daly. there is a lot more work that needs to be done, and on behalf of the progressive movement, i want to thank you for everything you have meant to that movement and for providing the conscience that is needed. [applause] supervisor mirkarimi: i appreciate the dramatic turn, but i would like to fund its top -- fun it up. i had to sit next to the sky, so what i have learned as a supervisor is that this energy, which adds to the definition of public power, really teaches you how to bees then, -- be zen, and this is something i have learned a lot, because chris is outstanding in his ability to drive the subjects and press it even to the point where his allies become uncomfortable, but even to be able to do that with a certain amount of clarity that makes me welcome the experience, and that has been attached to tireless advocacy that relate head -- really helped set the formula for others

supervisor daly would like to speak against the motion. supervisor daly: perhaps it has to do with what supervisor dufty said in terms of wanting to allow a round of voting to see where the votes are after having expressed support for multiple candidates. if you look at the voting with supervisor dufty voting against his preferred candidate, no other candidate received more than 4 votes. i would recommend giving supervisor dufty another round before we reopen nominations as a think the intent of giving everybody the opportunity to vote before locking in the first nomination makes the most sense in terms of going forward. i don't know how many rounds before everybody had enough opportunities to vote for the return candidates. i voted for three. people have different strategies, but at some point, i would assume that supervisor dufty or maxwell will cast an aye vote. supervisor campos: i also want to join supervisor daly in asking that we vote in another round. i think that is consistent with the statements made and we have an opportunity to

let me ask region in supervisor daly? -- let me ask -- supervisor daly? supervisor daly: >> let me ask how many. supervisor dufty: i would imagine that the speakers would be willing to take perhaps one minute if we could have that as an agreement and allow that to move expeditiously, because there are a lot of people. president chiu: unless there is any objection, why don't we head to the dunlap matter and then the mayor issue followed by redevelopment and then security. madam clerk, if you could call items -- the reason we are trying to juggle this is there are many people here for these items, and we are trying to do it as expeditiously as possible, and with that, call item 40 through item 42. >> there the board of supervisors sitting for a public hearing of persons interested in are objecting to the appointment of mark dunlap to the board of directors. item 41 is the motion approving the appointment to the treasure island board. item 32 is rejecting for the unexpected portion of the term ending february 26, 2012. >> unless there are an initial comments

director daly: what did they find? >> i would have to ask. >> [inaudible] director daly: which b brings it up about 2% to a19-point- something. >> i also want to understa. i'd improbably over sharing my thought process on this, but the problem with the lake, as i see it, is not the impact of a month. if we are not prepared to move forward with the low bidder, i cannot imagine a scenario where we would just go to the second bidder. i think in that case, without compromising our lawyer's position or anything else, the low bidder would have a pretty legitimate set of issues, particularly given some of the numbers that have been laid out to us, and i think we would more than likely be looking at a rebid situation, which probably would lead to a fairly significant delay in the project. it is very helpful, the numbers you have just given, and i want to make sure i understand as well. on the apples to apples basis, for the elements of the program that i think everyone, including public, enters, acknowledges is the most import

twice more, where a supervisor daly was a community organizer, continuing his activism. he represents the versa constituents, including homeless people, immigrants, and low income families. whereas supervisor daly was never afraid to challenge the status quo to improve the lives of everyday people, housing advocacy and transit just as coalitions to strengthen the progressive movement of san francisco. whereas he was an effective legislator passing almost 400 resolution sent 12 amendments. including single occupancy hotels, building a school in the park south of market, preserving a 365 print unit controlled plaza, creating the civilization fund, pushing back against the conversion of rental units, prioritizing the city's surplus properties and affordable housing sites and securing millions of dollars from the budget for affordable housing. whereas supervisor daly served in several regional bodies including air quality management district, the metropolitan transportation commission, and the joint policy council to advocate improved air quality, public transit, and afforda

director daly: but the shelters are different? >> director ford: ford -- director ford: bus shelters are in there, too. ok. with that, what is the board's pleasure? ok, it has been moved and seconded. all those in favor? no posers -- no opposers? motion carries. let's move to the next item. >> item 14 is a resolution of appreciation for director chris daly. >> we have a resolution for havedaly, -- for director daly, who has been with us for many years. he has served since 2002, representing the city and county of san francisco and whereas that the san francisco supervisor for district 6, the district in which the transit center program is located, he has been a tireless advocate for improved public transportation, housing, and other urban amenities to create a livable, revitalize neighborhood, and whereas as a supervisor and member of the board, he has been passionate about providing increase affordable housing throughout san francisco, due in large part to his leadership on this issue, the program will result in 2600 new homes, 3

supervisor daly, daly aye. supervisor dufty, dufty aye. supervisor elsbernd, elsbernd no. supervisor mar, mar aye, maxwell aye, supervisor mirkarimi, mirkarimi aye. there are eight aye's and three nos. president chiu: the resolution is adopted. if we can now go back -- actually, i'm sorry, we have a couple of more 3:00 special orders. items 45 and 46. madam clerk: items 45 and 46 are the board of supervisors sitting as a whole -- objecting to the proposed resolution approving the redevelopment agency's lease of land commonly known as 701 golden gate avenue to mary helen rogers senior community for the purpose of developing housing for very low-income senior households. president chiu: we have a proposal to consider redevelopment regarding the mary helen redevelopment. do we have initial comments from the redevelopment staff? >>ed good afternoon, supervisors, president chiu and members of the board. the item before you is the disposition of by lease of agency land applied with tax increment funds. under state law, the agency comes before the board of supervisors to get appr

daly? supervisor daly: we are about to experience the biggest fumble in the history of san francisco, the biggest fumble. the time is running down, right before you are crossing the goal line, to take the lead, it would not do this, will justice. the ball carrier is none other than our president, david chiu. bevan dufty played the foil well. this whole scene was to draw us in -- i like ed on a personal level, but he will work for the other side, a progressive colleagues. a progressive majority on this board of supervisors. we had an opportunity, and we made the biggest fumble of san francisco political history. the blame probably goes to many places, but it's certainly rest squarely on the shoulders of president david chiu, and i am going to be willing to point others out, as well. i will remain involved and active after this vote and after the gavel goes down on this meeting. i will haunt you. i will politically haunt you. for the biggest fumble in the history of san francisco politics. it

thank you, supervisor daly. excuse me, supervisor daly. you have been speaking all night, and i think it is quite appropriate for us to make some final remarks, and, perhaps, we should call the sheriff. [gavel] president chiu: calling the question requires two seconds. are there two seconds? it is yours, supervisor alioto- pier. supervisor alioto-pier: this decision is not supposed to be about partisan politics or about having a shot at a power grab. we are supposed to be putting someone in office who is going to represent the city and county of san francisco and is going to do it well, and the fact that ed has been the city administrator, it has been an appropriate place. frankly, i think that the incoming board of supervisors should put a charter amendment on the ballot so they do not have to go through the process we have had to go through. it should go to the city administrator, and it should go to the city administrator wrote, and when a new one is elected, it should go back to that position. what we have seen here is not necessarily

daly, present. dufty, present. elsbernd, present. mar, present. maxwell, present. mirkarimi, present. all members are present. >> can you join me in the pledge of of allegiance when yaho -- pf allegiance. >> can we go to the item on the board of supervisors as a whole? >> item one is the appointment of a successor mayor. in the event of a vacancy to the mayor's office. >> i have asked for us to prepare a statement to discuss this item, we discussed this item at length on tuesday. >> on january 4, we -- elected to recess this item to today, january 7. to appoint a successor mayor in the event of a vacancy. under this section, code 67.151 a, was completed on -- january 4, 2011. mirkarimi, campos, daly, and elsbern selected agnos, hennessey, and former board chairman aaron pescen. the role call was called in the order recieved, without yeilding -- yielding six votes. mirkarimi withdrew his nomination of agnos. and had asked if we had spoken to the other nominees. sheriff hennessey has accepted the nomination. the former chair of the committee has denied the nomination

commissioner mirkarimi: supervisor daly. commissioner daly: i was not trying to get the last word from our board president, but a couple of other folks to thank. but in the process of thanking them, let me say this -- ultimately hear in these chambers -- ultimately here in these chambers, we are the quasi-official boosters of sand francisco, but when it comes down to what our real responsibility and obligations are, it is really to the people of this city and the resources that they entrust us with and a responsibility to make sure that government can run. i have talked often about how little impact even very powerful politicians like the president of the united states have when it comes to dealing with the ups and downs of the economy. in these chambers, our power is really are on the periphery, affecting weather joblessness is up or down, who gets employment. who gets left out, that sort of thing, but when it comes to the city's treasury, when it comes to the annual budget process, and what we do with the people's money in

supervisor daly? supervisor daly: i am not going to pass up this opportunity. [laughter] this process has been byzantine at times, frustrating, but i think that we all can appreciate how important is that, given probably four or five speeches on this topic. i will not do too much rehashing of them. but we know that we have a strong mayor form of government, and probably the most significant strength that the mayor of san francisco has is as the leader, the main voice of san francisco. i think that as i talked during my acceptance of my certificate here for 10 years of service, i was cognizant of this decision moving forward. and i think that we have an opportunity today that does not come along very often, and that opportunity -- it basically is the great neutralize your -- neutralizer or equalizer in politics, and i mean neutralizing the corrosive influence of big money, of special interests in politics, the watering down of democracy. i get lamb vested in the newspaper when i say this, but the american voting system is not very democratic. an underwhelming pe

supervisor daly? supervisor daly: i am not going to pass up this opportunity. [laughter] this process has been byzantine at times, frustrating, but i think that we all can appreciate how important is that, given how important is that, given probably four or five speeches

supervisor daly: i had a motion on the floor to continue this item. i think that there are interesting questions being asked. and while i still believe that we are not quite there to deal with this today, and i think these questions even compound my initial feelings, on our calendar today we do have a special order, or a couple of special orders, one of which is the creation of the cbd here in the civic center. i believe that hearing needs to happen. i am wondering if perhaps it would make sense for us to pass over this item to deal with that business, which i hear should take less than 30 minutes, and then to return to this item so that city staff is not in a position where they have to mail out ballots again if this goes very, very long. president chiu: supervisor daly is recommending we passover this item until now. unless there is an objection, why don't we proceed to other items remaining? let us finish the rest of the adoption calendar. madam clark, could you call items 47 through 63? >> that are for your immediate unanimous adoption and will be

and chris daly is on our list. that's the list of people we would support.want a fill-in mayor but somebody who can step in and do the job. and there are people on this board that have helped us, too. but we limit it to a certain number. and if we had a bigger number, more would be on the list. but that's where we are right now. hopefully you will do this today. as soon as you can. because we've been told already about budget cuts and all this stuff. and we need somebody who can hilt the ground running. -- hit the ground running. not someone who has to learn everything. thank you. president chiu: next speaker. >> ok. good afternoon, supervisors, eric brooks, speak being as a little -- speaking as a little grassroots organizer today and not on behalf of anyone in particular. but i will say that i second what previous speakers said about even one week, making a huge difference in the new mayor's ability to prepare for this office. you need to get this done today. you need to do it. and as far as the choice of who, it's finally time to start saying who. and i c

you have bill daly. pete row, the interim chief of staff right now who may also be asked to stay on if bill daly doesn't get the job offer. but he was at the white house today all signs pointed to a bill daly chief of staff. and this is saying to the president, these next two years are drnts than the first two years. the first two years were getting legislation through the hill. now it's about the implementation of those policies and a better selling and communicating of them to the american people. that's the one area where the president has said he's fallen down a bit on the job. >> so are these people who are seen as better communicaters or how is that? >> bill daly was in the clinton administration, and al gore's campaign chairman in 2000, and he does have the ability to communicate the message on television, and he takes a strong signal, judy. as you know, the obama presidency and white house has had a rocky relationship at times with the business community. this is a signal with his work at j.p. mo

director daly: thank you. i'm going to take a very brief moment. let me thank maria and the whole tjpa family for your work. if you sit on enough of these boards, you realize that while technically, the staff works for the board, in reality, in terms of the labor of love and the time and effort and energy, the board's really do work for the staffs. fortunately, we have a very good one here. thank you to my colleagues, present and past, here on the tjpa. i have only been here for eight years. i think tony really wanted to be here when i was first elected, and for some reason, acquiesced. but it is not really in my nature to not see things through to final completion, so i'm really not ready to go. and somehow my goal is still here. [laughter] i figured there has got to be a way that i can hang on. but probably, i will just have to secret development through to near completion, and the actual digging and contract letting and construction will have to be overseen by others that follow, but they will have pretty much the same staff and family here doin

when they return they ask for what chris daly requested five hours earlier, that the board not take a vote. >> i don't to make a lot of sense for us to make an important decision blindly. >> we'll have a live report on the interim san francisco mayor coming up later in the newscasts. >> live look outside you can see the cloud cover pushing in over the city right now. it trickled out there yet again today, continuing to see those east winds other bringing very cold air in from the central valley. 39 and yet, 41 in antioch. 397 fall temperatures even cooler than what we saw yesterday by several degrees. over 10 degrees cooler down and the coastline in half moon bay just 48 there. forcing cloud cover over the bay area right now, will see fog yet again over night into tomorrow, will time out on future cast and look at you again forecast coming up. stay with us will be right again forecast coming up. stay with us will be right back. er for just $15.99. sizzler. thinking fresh. everyday. ♪ it's ok that we're number four hundred and three ♪ ♪ we'll find ourselves a comfy seat ♪ ♪ and watch s

supervisor daly? supervisor daly: it's like deja vu all over again from last week. it seems like the maker of the motion and seconder did exactly the same thing as last week but we've been sitting here now -- is this the fourth public hearing that we've had on the topic of transition. and, colleagues, i think that we are doing an incredible disservice to the people of the city and county of san francisco because i am somewhat flum,ed sitting here as a 10-year veteran who understands who understands procedure and understands the innerworkings of the board of supervisors, i'm flumoxed as one of the most senior members of this body. i can only imagine how confused, how distraught i would be in a, you know, dragged myself over to city hall the last few weeks to try and give me input on who the mayor's going to be and then nothing from my elected representatives, not even acknowledgment of my input. not everyone is saying the same thing. it's crazy enough that my name came up once or twice today. so, i mean, it's not -- it's not as if the people of san francisco have a s
