supervisor elsbernd: i rise in objection to this charter amendment. supervisor daly has done a better job in drafting this than he did his last one. color it in any way you want, but it remains a set-aside. hyou very well could have a general surplus at the end of the year. if this passes, you need eight supervisors to adjust the budget to help fix those future budget deficits. if we want to find affordable housing in the manner that supervisor daly has proposed, we can do that any year. this is just going to make it that much more diffi

supervisor avalos: supervisor elsbernd? supervisor elsbernd: forgive me for not remembering, was is the project with the issue of liability with the project manager? >> yes. we made the decision that we needed to test the waters with the community. there were five firms that had expressed interest and we wound up with three proposals. supervisor avalos: thank you for your flexibility in that. public comment, when any member of the public like to comment on item number one? seeing no one, we will close public comment. the item is move forward with recommendations. madam clerk, if you could please call items two through four? >> item #2, resolution approving and authorizing agreements for the acquisition of the following real property rights required for the sunnydale sewer improvement project no. cenmscic2362 (the "project") totaling $2,459,664: (1) permanent subsurface sewer easements over portions of san francisco apn 4991/24 and 4991/65 comprising 11,677.7 square feet, (2) permanent subsurface sewer easements over portion

supervisor elsbernd: i would ask supervisor campos. as you were going to your amendments, what are the others after this one? >> there is one on page 23 page 21. >> there is one on page 22 and one on page 24. it clarified what happens should the board to reject the budget once the fiscal year begins, and there is one on page 30. it limits the parking authority limitation on acquiring or expanding parking facilities to garages. thank you. >> further comments or questions on the amendment? without objection, or do we need a roll call several without objection? so moved. supervisor chu: i would like to make a motion that would duplicate the file to create two versions, one that is currently in the charter amendment that would only be triggered if we were to see an annual revenue increase, so one version would stay as is. the second would remove the set- aside provision. i understand there is discussion. different colleagues have different perspectives, and i would like to have those two options. >> second? president chiu: that is on page

supervisor elsbernd: i would ask supervisor campos. as you were going to your amendments, what are the others after this one? >> there is one on page 23 page 21. >> there is one on page 22 and one on page 24. it clarified what happens should the board to reject the budget once the fiscal year begins

thank you supervisor elsbernd. the other point i want to make is this as for greater representation. there are more people serving on more bodies. you don't have that duplication. by opening the process up more it's certainly better. we all know as office holders, as members of the boards, as incumbents, it's easier for us at times. it can be easier for us to navigate the system and harder for people who aren't currently holding office. it is good to open up those seats to give opportunities for other people to step forward into public service. so again, thank you. supervisor campos: thank you, mr. elliott. >> thank you, sir. supervisor campos: you're a brave man coming before the rules committee. >> i appreciate it. supervisor campos: well done. we have here a representative of president chiu's office, would you like to add anything on behalf of president chiu? >> thank you chair campos and supervisors. all morning, i'm an aide to supervisor david chiu. i wanted to put president chiu on behalf of president chiu on

president chiu: supervisor elsbernd. supervisors elsbernd: i do not think anyone has raised more issues than i have on this. tw reasons why i think this should be rejected. -- two reasons. truth is, there's been significant review. we have very limited resources. i think if we are going to use those resources, we should use those to focus on those departments that have not had any review. secondly, and perhaps maybe it should not be raised, but i think it needs be raised, there have been things quoted by members of the board that retribution needed to be exacted against the public defender's office. i do not want to be a party to that. whether you agree or disagree with what the public defender has done, we should not disagree -- should not in any way exact retribution. we all know that is what this is. let's not disabuse our power for a sort of a political retribution. president chiu: supervisor campos? supervisor campos: one of the interesting things about being on the board of supervisors is you never know what is goi

chairman of loews, supervisor elsbernd, campos, and maxwell. thank you so much for the hours of dedication. for those of you not on the committee that suffer in ancillary ways as we try to make sure that this is not too extensive. somehow between our colleagues on the board and the mayor, we are able to stay out of the way and make sure that things go well. i know that our chairman " has wanted to put this to rest. there is so much good work and good news. over the days to come, the work of this committee and the chairman is going to become very evident. the importance of this document to reflect upon our colleague, supervisor daily said, this is the most important document that we have every year. in the area, a number of people came out. the budget process is a very humanistic and organic process. legions of people come out. many young people and people who dedicate themselves to serving young people came out. at the time, it was overwhelming. there were so many young people that were frustrated at the time. i hope that in the days ahead, the

supervisor avalos: supervisor elsbernd has a question. supervisor elsbernd: thank you. just listening to the comments about how this tax could lead to increased commercial rents i had a thought about posing this question to you about. the analysis you've presented on each of the individual tax analyzes potential job creation, job loss, if that individual tax passes. does the analysis change in any way if this tax and the commercial property tax measure passes? so you'll have two measures that will result in commercial property taxes -- or commercial property rents going up. do i take a look at how many jobs are created by one, how many are deleted by the other? i would imagine the analysis a little more complicated than that. >> the model that we used to make these estimates i think is more sensitive than that. i could certainly offline run what a combination would look like. i don't think it would be wildly different, but i don't think it would be exactly the same. supervisor elsbernd: thank you. >> so as i was saying, what this impact analysis, which shows the impact
