supervisor elsbernd? supervisor elsbernd: i understand what you are trying to do, but this is wrong. they were elected to an four- year term. i do not think we should be in the business of creating a business where they should have a six-year term. if we are to go through this, maybe we do the original proposal, but i do not thinking it is appropriate to be granting them a couple extra years. i know the voters will have to sign in on that. they ran for a four-year term. who wants to do the charter amendment to give supervisors six-year terms? we could save a lot of money that way, too. let's have that discussion this week. i do not think we should go through the door of altering the current officeholders. president chiu: any further comment? supervisor wiener? supervisor wiener: and i appreciate that, through the chair to supervisor elsbernd. wanting to have the two elections, and i had considered both, but i made a decision to move forward with your original proposal, but even the people have expressed s

thank you. >> thank you, supervisor elsbernd. president chiu: did you ask this on behalf of the full board? we can do that without objection. supervisor campos: submit. supervisor avalos: submit. supervisor kim: i am requesting a hearing today on an issue that our office has been working on for a bit of time, and with a promise we had made in conjunction with many of our communities after our mid-market tax exclusion. it is a hearing to consider the findings and conclusions on the performance audit of the affordable housing policies and programs. district 6 continues to be a place where housing and jobs -- a place for both housing and jobs close to major transit lines. i want to make sure we continue to consider solutions for meeting the housing needs of individuals and families of various income levels, including those who are currently residents of district 6. as i mentioned, the legislative analyst's report has identified several solutions and recommendations to improve the city's ability to meet the regional housing allocatio

supervisor elsbernd: no. supervisor farrell: no. supervisor kim: no. >> there are six aye's and five no's. president chiu: to the motion to continue. >> to refer back, a little articulation, there is nothing that we are referring back that needs to be in the charter. just to inform my vote, there is nothing in this measure that needs to be in the charter. the law as it currently stands allows us to rank as many candidates as we want. it is just adding verbiage of the charter. supervisor campos: with respect to the voter education peace, supervisor elsbernd, that is something we have been working on with the city attorney's office. it is my understanding that if we want a voter education plan to come before the board of supervisors for an actual approval of the plan, it would have to be an amendment to the charter because as it presently stands, it is entirely up to the department of elections to decide what that looks like. and the reason that we include this way is that we wanted to make sure that we had an education plan that was

supervisor elsbernd. supervisor farrell. supervisor farrell: i have one in memoriam. i would like to adjourn today's meeting in memory of solomon kahn. he was a deejay for the golden state warriors and the san francisco giants and was a fixture in district 2 and many high-profile venues. he is survived by his parents, his brother, and his fiancee. he rose to the local ranks and perform alongside such artists as stevie wonder. his most high-profile work began in 1989 when he is hired by the golden state warriors to perform as the teams in house deejay. he was performing similar duties for the giants. he cemented his reputation as the president deejay and was a fixture in the marina district, well-loved by a number of friends and people that i know. he will be sorely missed. >> supervisor wiener, you are next on a roll call for introductions. president chiu: any introductions? >> seeing no other names on the roster, supervisor kim. supervisor kim: i wanted to take a moment to wish a happy birthday to our colleagues. president chiu: i think we will all enjoy that as we s

leave a second early. >> i wanted to come up and give support to the legislation that france and elsberndward. i am supportive of that. it has caused confusion among voters and i think it is off- putting to those who do understand it. i find some people who have talked about the money city aspects are for increasing the amount of money for people running for office and i find that a big contradictory. i do not particularly like that. i think going back to the old system is the way to go. i think voter participation will increase. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> i am speaking on behalf of senior action network. senior action network is not in favor of doing away with ranked- choice voting. they are in favor of having elections department do more educating in the senior community. seniors do vote. we vote early. we do not vote often but we do vote early. and we have not given up on ranked-choice voting. i was also asked to say that opieu 3 are for ranked-choice voting. many of us are from that union as retired members. i would like to speak on 7 and say that i think the consolidati

will be a differential turnout in the september primary as acknowledged by supervisors farrell and elsberndthreshold instead of just a majority. this is also the case in other states where an august or september primary where that is normal. they still get much lower turnouts in august or september primaries than their general election. one thing to take note of is how it relates to the school year, academic year. september or late august primary would either be just before or after the beginning of the school year will disadvantage participation by college students and teachers at all levels in this primary elections. i think that probably the most comparable thing in california to the september primary proposal is what cities like long beach to where they have a municipal primary election standalone and half a menace -- have them in a simple collection that is consolidated with an even year election. the most recent one in 2010, they had an 18% turnout in their april primary and about a 29% turnout in the june general election for their city. you would expect more of a differential betwee

supervisor elsbernd: aye. >> there are 11 ayes.nt chiu: we will sit at 3:00 on march 20 for this item. madam clerk, if we could call items nine -- actually, and this time, item 19. item 19 is no longer before us, but if you could call item 19. >> the hearing of persons in interest of amending the approval of the america's cup resolution, and the proposed resolution of intent to form the infrastructure waterfront financing district. president chiu: we have continued that item. if you could call items 20 and 21. >> from the budget and finance committee without recommendation, approving the america's cup product and related transactions. and intention to establish an infrastructure financing district at the port of san francisco. president chiu: we cannot act on these items because we have not yet heard public comment. if i can entertain a motion to continue to a committee as a call at 3:00 p.m. on march 20? motion by supervisor chu, seconded by supervisor farrell. these items will be continued. we go to the rest of the adoption calen

supervisor campos: with respect to the voter education peace, supervisor elsbernd, that is something we have been working on with the city attorney's office. it is my understanding that if we want a voter education plan to come before the board of supervisors for an actual approval of the plan, it would have to be an amendment to the charter because as it presently stands, it is entirely up to the department of elections to decide what that looks like. and the reason that we include this way is that we wanted to make sure that we had an education plan that was fully vetted before the public, and we have as much input from different neighborhoods in different communities. one thing that i will say is that my hope is that between now and the time we have to decide whether or not to put something on the ballot, the measure may actually look different in the sense that some of the points could be incorporated. another are a number of people support of of ranked joyce voting have believe there should be a different approach when it comes to a mayor's race as opposed to a supervisor's race

but it might make sense to have a supervisor elsbernd here when we are discussing it. perhaps we can go to public comment. we will entertain a continuance to the call of the chair. why don't we open this up for public comment? supervisor campos: i know there are a number of people here to speak on this, but out of courtesy to supervisor elsbernd, we should continue this. supervisor chu: i would like to open this up to public comment. believe we will have this come before the committee again and there will be opportunity for public comment, but the folks have made the trip out here to speak, i would like to offer the opportunity to speak? -- i would like to offer the opportunity to speak. any members of the public who wish to speak on this item? >> out of respect, we're going -- we have some video presentations and we're looking forward to the conversation. thousands of young people have been working with supervisor campos and the board of the mta to address the needs of low- income youth and access. we are excited about what we can do to really increase resources for p

i want to thank supervisors farrell and elsbernd. even though we have differences of opinion and how to do it, they're raising the issue was important as the chair of the committee indicated. one of the goals of the two proposals is to make sure that we do comply with that ruling and the chair has done an excellent job outlining the reasons behind these proposals and with respect to the second proposal, which is something that could go to the ballot, i hope is there will not be a neat for that to happen and we will be able to collectively agree to something that achieves the various objectives that have been outlined and that there will not be a neat to move ford, but we want to make sure we have that option. as the chair of the committee indicated, there's a significant difference between item #2 and item number one and that is the issue of the soft cap. under version one, candidates can raise private money if a privately financed candidates or independent expenditure committee spends above the spending cap. version two has a hard s

supervisor elsbernd: all of us who have been to the presidio, it would not be the same without him and the tremendous recitation of the gettysburg address he gives every memorial day and he does it without notes. just a fantastic choice, great choice, supervisor mar. my selection is a gentleman who i have had the privilege of knowing and working with a little over 10 years but observing since i was playing in the cyo. not too h&m too much, but don collins is currently the commissioner of the athletically. the aaa san francisco section. -- not to age him too much. don has been in a position for 10 years. prior to that was involved in cyo basketball. he has been officiating youth sports for two decades. in figuring out who i wanted to commemorate and celebrate today, don came to mind right away. what it is about for me with don , he is a true role model. to have him around our cities use every day with the integrity that he demonstrates each and every day in his work, the leadership skills he demonstrates, the kind as he demonstrates, -- kindness he demonstrates and the intelligence he d

we have been working for almost a year with supervisor elsbernd and his staff. which support this amendment and urge you about it. there are relatively few shopping centers in san francisco with a large parking lot that accommodates more than enough cars. there is ample space for a business like you call -- like u-haul. there is none nearby, so residents have to drive to pacifica to rent u-hauls. allow an auto rentals and sales of conditional use is good economic policy for the city. we will establish neighborhoods serving small businesses and employ business to the neighborhoods. this is a win for our neighborhood shopping centers, job seekers, and san francisco. not all conditional neighborhood commercial shopping districts are suitable for auto sales and rentals, but some are. we urge you to recommend adoption of this code amendment to the board of supervisors land use committee. president miguel: thank you. is there additional public comment? if not, public comment is closed. commissioner antonini: i think this is an excellent idea. i know the particular loc
