deputy city attorney jon givner. >> mr. givner: deputy city attorney jon givner. so this item was sponsored and it was introduced by the mayor and president cohen. it will authorize the city attorney to file a validation action regarding proposition c which passed in the november election. the board adopted a similar ordinance in july authorizing the city attorney to file a valuation action for june's proposition g. as you know, questions have been raised about whether proposition c in november and propositions c and g in june required a 50% vote to pass for a two-thirds majority. this ordinance will authorize our office to seek kay judgment that proposition c in november required only a 50% majority to pass. >> president cohen: that's great. thank you. so just as a question to you, deputy city attorney, how long does this process take before the city can expect to hopefully be able to drawdown and spend this revenue, this money? >> mr. givner: that depends on a number of factors. we expect this ordinance if it comes out of committee today as a committee report to

we brought forward a charter amendment and passed it, thank you jon givner. and protected bike lanes. we were very busy in the last six months. i want to appreciate you for working on both of my campaigns and i'm taking the hard and audacious step of working in this office and taking the heat. you took a lot of heat, worked under fire and i'm so impressed. i want to recognize some other legislative aides that i had apart from their upbringing. sorry my speech is so long. jen lowe, supervisor yee's office who worked on my 2010 campaign. tim and supervisor safai's office, angelina and kelvin in supervisor peskin's office. i've had the honor of knowing them since they were 14, 15 years old and it great to see the next generation of youth leaders that are serving you all so well. they don't do anything for me. i'm just recognizing them. they work really hard for their bosses, but i'm super proud of them. i want to thank my campaign team. it's too countless to name owl of them, but kayla who is the audience, jeffrey, brandon, who was here earlier and spoke at publ

givner: deputy city attorney jon givner. any amendment you make today will trigger a continuance in this committee to another committee hearing. you could make an amendment extending the set aside to the 2040-41 fiscal year. the -- the other proposal you have to add in an additional review in 2030, we haven't yet drafted. we could draft it for the next committee hearing, but with charter amendments, we want you to be voting on something that's written in front of you because they're so difficult to change, so i wouldn't want to come up with that on the fly. >> supervisor yee: that would be my -- i would love to see a 20-year period and have a ten-year evaluation, but that's going to cause a delay in passing this out of committee. i don't know if supervisor kim, if you would have any objections to that? >> supervisor kim: no. so i am making two amendments to the charter today, so i'm expecting a special committee meeting on monday. if the committee so chooses to make that amendment, we can make that. just so you know on page

givner? >> yes. basically what you would do in the duplicate, i believe, is remove everything except dynamic delivery amendment and add a ceqa finding section, which would trigger referral to the planning commission's environmental review officer, which would determine if this is subject to ceqa at all and if it is what level of environmental analysis -- >> supervisor safai: do i need a motion to add ceqa section? >> yes. >> supervisor safai: okay. can we make a motion to find a ceqa finding section to the document? president cohen? >> president cohen: i want to acknowledge that you duplicated the file, but we did not change the a.m.i. levels. >> supervisor safai: we will come back to the one that will good to the board. we haven't finished with the document yet. you want to remove that as well? >> president cohen: yes. it should be in both files. i suggest that you rescind the vote to unamend the request to duplicate the file and then amend the a.m.i. levels in the file and then you will have to go

givner: right. right. if the city attorney's office were a large refuse generator, i could not be the zero waste facilitator and do this job. the city attorney's office would need to hire a zero waste facilitator. that person would be exclusively devoted to that job. >> president cohen: supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: yeah, i just want to put a fine point on that. that person can be employed only in that, but they can be employed part-time, and they can do multiple locations. i know in the example of a small business, i know that some of them have multiple spots, and in some cases, in some of the conversations with the city, they have a facilitat facilitator servicing three different buildings, so it's multifaceted in that regard. >> president cohen: that's actually really helpful, because i was trying to understand that a little bit. you can have one facilitator, they'll come to my business, work three hours, and then go to your business and work three hours, right? >> supervisor safai: absolutely.

and then we can proceed from there. >> president cohen: deputy city attorney givner?> the carve-out amendment is not ready today. if you want to make that, you can do it next week. it's not ready for this meeting. >> supervisor yee: would people be open to duplicating the file and allowing for discussion of the carve-out to continue and have a vote of up and down with the existing? >> president cohen: so there's a motion to carve-out -- my question to the clerk, which takes precedent? >> clerk: if supervisor yee wants to duplicate the file, he does not need to make a motion. it is his right. madam president, will you withdraw your motion for carve-out on this particular item? >> president cohen: yes. >> clerk: okay. withdrawn. >> president cohen: that leaves with us an up-or-down vote? >> clerk: if supervisor yee would like to followthrough with duplicating the file, you will have two matters in front of you that are alike. >> supervisor yee: my intent is to duplicate the file and vote on the original today and to continue the duplicated file to committee. >> presiden

. >> yes, city attorney jon givner. they can deny appeals from interested parties.o the ordinance cannot remove that appeal authority from the board of appeals. >> and then to also answer your question, supervisor safai. from the businesses that our office has been talking to, the property owner and business are in close conversation, generally, around when they need to vacate the property. and so, for the contractor to get in and do the work. so i feel pretty confident that from those conversations the timing element will work because as we know with a couple of the restaurants, they are knowing six months ahead of time when they have to vacate due to the property owners planning and scheduling with the contractor. >> supervisor a. safai: i guess what i would say through the chair, i guess what i would say, is i want to make sure they aren't waiting. you can't issue the temporary mobile catering permit until they have their seismic retrofit permit in hand, right? so i guess just from a timing perspective, they should be allowed to go through the entire process up u

i want to recognize jon givner, who has been outstanding. i have a little something for you. it's under $25, thank you, supervisor tang. jon givner, a little something to lift your spirits. thank you, you've given me great advice. in the event i have disagreed with the advice you've given me, i have found advice somewhere else and you have not held it against me. thank you. your phenomenal city attorney and although ben is not here, harvey, those two gentlemen are also institutions that have served san francisco for a long time. i think ben said 25 years, 20 years, a very long time. started as a young, young man, now he's just a young man. and harvey rose. i love this man. he is so funny and witty and charming and i love the fact that when it comes to controversial issues it's always a policy matter for the board decide. one thing that i can always, always count on is that he will give you real information. he will do the work. he will find the numbers. and he will present them in a very fair and balanced way. as a budget legislative analyst, you could not ask for something m

. >> deputy city attorney, john givner. we have not prepared a district 10 carve-out for today. if you want to do that, you can do that next week, or continue it, or if it passes on first reading, you can amend to make that change next week. generally both for this ordinance and all planning and zoning ordinances, my office and the planning department strongly discourage zoning by district for a variety of reasons that you probably don't want to hear at this moment, but if you want to work with us on a carve-out, we will do that. >> president cohen: thank you. i would appreciate that. and i tend to agree with you that spot zoning is not the most appropriate way. what other tools are available to me when i feel like i'm not being heard or my constituents are not being considered? i don't see any other opportunity. i will leave it for a larger policy discussion to this body. maybe we can continue the item. >> supervisor kim: i want to respond to that. first of all, if the sitting supervisor insists that a developer build parking, which they will continue to be allowed to do under
