supervisor farrell, you have at least one card.supervisor farrell: denise tran. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is denise tran. we are characterized as a large fast-food restaurant, and this conversation is really relevant to me and directly impacts me and my business, and i am here to speak in support of the supervisor's legislation. i think the discussion of fast food, i think everybody always thinks of mcdonald's. i did, too. that just happens to be the characterization. it basically means, large, being over a certain square footage, you are characterized as large, and for us, we are quick casual, meaning that we do not have servers, meaning that you come in, you order, and someone will bring your food out to you, which is very common oon f -- on fillmore street. many restaurants on fillmore street do that. and my restaurant is a vietnamese gourmet shop, and we are attempting to create 20 to 25 full and part-time jobs there, and currently what is going on is that i have a prohibition on my use that prohibits me from gett

supervisor farrell: i think it is important to have that input. we have always had that in the past and i know you keep in touch with all of us to get our feedback before you are vested in whatever work plan in have. -- would ever work plan you have. >> good morning. tonia lediju with the comptroller's office. it is broken up into city performance and operations. we performed performance audit which focuses on assessment of city services and processes and provides recommendations for improvement to a dance performance and reduce cost and facilitate decision making for parties. we also have the whistle-blower investigation under our purview. on the city performance and operations, their performances on analysis, standards and performance measures and technical assistance and professional contracting. that is shared by our controller for the fiscal year 10-11. the audits we have completed since january 27th, we have completed 49 of its during this fiscal year. we have completed audits for puc and conducted cash transaction audits and completed a fin

supervisor farrell? supervisor farrell: just a quick question. if we do not have what is happening in california in our state legislature going on, would you -- but for that happening, when would you be before us with this amendment? >> i actually would probably be before you now because a part of my series on issuing four series of bonds. it is curve -- part of my 2009- 2010 revenue budget, so i would come before you regardless of this. i think i would say within a day two how the market is looking at rates, but it would be the normal course of business. supervisor farrell: following up on some earlier discussions we have had, given that there are a number of agencies floating these bonds this week, given the anticipation of what is happening in sacramento, i will throw it to you and to our city staff as well. any other creative ideas in terms of getting better interest rates for what we will be floating this week -- i know we had talked about a few alternatives before committee today. has anyone looked at that at all? i appreciate the urgency o

supervisor farrell: thank you. it is a great honor of mine to be honoring a number of people from my community in district two. the few guys are here. i know i saw you coming in. -- if you guys are here. if you could come up front here. everyone, together, these three individuals were the driving force behind the recent seven- year $21 million renovation of one of san francisco's most beloved landmarks, the palace of fine arts. the maybeck foundation, led by the chairman of the board and campaign chair and executive director, drove the efforts to raise more than $16 million in private donations from over 1200 individuals. in coordination with the maybeck foundation, a talented team of city managers from the rec and park department and dpw help carry out the renovations of the historic remnants of the 1915 pan expo. i was proud to be president at the it -- present at the official opening, and every time i walk on the palace of fine arts ground with my children, it amazes me the work that was accomplished there. it w

sandoval -- supervisor farrell. supervisor mar, do you want to go back? supervisor mar: this is to correct errors in cross referencing in the planning code, so i urge support. president chiu: supervisor mar has circulated non technical amendments, as he has proposed. is there a motion? seconded by supervisor avalos: -- supervisor avalos. colleagues, without objection? without objection, this is passed on first reading as amended. if we can now go to roll call. clerk calvillo: roll call for introductions. supervisor mar? supervisor mar: submit. clerk calvillo: president chiu? president chiu: i would like to adjourn today's meeting for the victims of the earthquake in japan as well as the victims during the same few days in china. obviously, we have all seen the devastation and the tragedies, and many of us are taking part to both ensure that such a tragedy will never happen here in san francisco, and we are asking our residents to support the victims in japan. our hearts go out to them. i am also introducing legislat

supervisor farrell: no. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. >> there are six ayes and five nos. president chiu: the motion as amended is approved. it could go back to item 22, please. >> a resolution requesting the recreation and park department and the department of the environment to establish a comprehensive parts recycling program. supervisor mirkarimi: colleagues, this issue is not unfamiliar to anybody here. there has been thorough hearings on this matter. but we have learned today is that the rec and parks department issued an unlawful detainer against the recycling center. i think that only escalates the matter in what i believe is an unprincipled way. i think this resolution is ever more timely and signaling to all stakeholders in this discussion. that is to work with the hank recycling center, dude due diligence, and look for alternative locations. that had not been done under mayor newsom. we ask that it be done. that is what the essence of this resolution does. in short, there is no plan whatsoever to com

supervisor farrell: no. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. >> there are six ayes and five nos. president chiu: the resolution is adopted. >> items 27 through 37 are for immediate adoption without committee reference. there will be decided by a single roll call vote. president chiu: would anyone like to sever one of these items? supervisor kim: i would like to continue item 35. supervisor elsbernd: 34 and 35. supervisor mirkarimi: 35. president chiu: if we could take a roll-call vote on all items 27 through 37 except for 34 and 35? supervisor weiner: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: aye. supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. >> there are 11 ayes. president chiu: those resolutions are adopted. item 31. >> item 31 is a resolution authorizing the department of public health to accept and expend a grant from the public health condition enterprises in the amount

i think supervisor farrell has a question. supervisor farrell: just to be clear, if we are going to ask you to rejigger some of the hours, do we need to continue for a week to make sure you have the time to do that properly? >> that can be done -- i actually did not know -- because the motion itself does not actually specify the hours, so i do not know if it could go to the full board with that change or it it would have to connect to this -- come back to this committee. supervisor campos: it seems to me that since the legislation does not provide specifics that we can move it forward with the recommendation and simply directed budget analyst to make changes to their work plan as if we are sending it to the board. i imagine we could do that. >> i wanted to be clear, what you want to do is go back to the schedule we had in 2010? on page two, we had 2010 hours. do you want us to go back to that? supervisor campos: my fear is we will have a number of issues coming up that will require -- that could be deemed to be special project

supervisor farrell: aye. >> thank you, the motion passes. supervisor kim: we will move to continue this to the next meeting. i may call for a special rules committee hearing to hear this earlier. thank you. madam clerk, would you call item no. 2, please? >> item 2, resolution confirming the appointment of carter rataon to serve on the transbay joint powers authority. supervisor kim: any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor elsbernd: just because he is sitting here, anything to say? i am prepared to vote for you. >> thank you, supervisors. i don't need the opportunity to speak, and i will be happy to take this whichever way it goes. supervisor kim: thank you for being here. without objection, move forward with positive recommendations. thank you. madam clerk, item four, please? >> hearing to consider appointment one member term ending february 1, 2017, to the act six commission -- to the ethics commission. supervisor kim: thank you. i believe we have both applicants here. mr. allen grossman and miss dorothy liu. t

. -- patricia farrell. i spoke last time, but i wanted to add that now, i am living in the streets, and it is a perfect example of how the city has failed. i have, as i said before, ideas. i'm not going to share them openly, but one is $3.1 million that could be added to the city's budget almost by the swipe of it 10. i have imbedded myself within the system when i returned to san francisco last year, and since that time, i have developed high cholesterol that has went from 20 milligrams up to 80. i take nitroglycerine now for panic attacks. i have been in the hospital several times with those conditions. i have had -- i have two denial of services. i do not know whether to be proud of that or not, but it is kind of alarming, given that i've put in so many volunteer hours doing data entry for their sro system that no one on an upper level really came to my defense when i was being attacked by the different people, including judy kerns >> greater than [inaudible] -- kerns. >> [inaudible] supervisor kim: you

supervisor farrell. supervisor farrell: i guess, maybe, since we have not heard from the puc since the audit has been issued, maybe we could talk about some of the steps issued since then to address these. >> assistant general manager for the puc. we have been fortunate with the diligence of the controller's office, as always. the general manager and i both requested a number of these audits about two or three years ago when we first arrived. their findings were concerns that we also had. what they've found is that the work product and level of service we have been providing in this department is unacceptable, and, frankly, there is no excuse for some of these findings. 105 findings and recommendations in our real estate audits alone. our other audits that have been performed show in many ways glowing results, so we have taken these to part, and -- taken the state hear -- taken these to heart and are going over what we can do to correct them. to help put this into context and part of the reason both the
