supervisor kim: when was the hotel opened?ned in august of 2011. >> -- supervisor kim: why is this coming to us in july of 2012 as opposed to last year? >> when we brought this before you, it was 45-year set of hotels that $82 million that expired june 15, -- june 30, 2015. when we first contemplated this, we were within the overall authority of the prior modification and we wanted to make sure we have all of the details of what was going on with the hotel before we brought back to clean up the resolution. we were still within that term and dollar -- not to exceed dollar amount of the prior resolution. that is when we went through and decided we needed to clean up all the avenues. as you can imagine, managing a contract with 16 different hotels, 16 different budgets, many shifts around in the hotel budget. at the end of the year, we have some hotels that run over budget and some run under budget and we are shifting things around. we were mindful to stay within the overall for the board had granted as and it was only when we go

supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i was also happy to hear that we were finally able to put in place some of the work you have been doing to update the technology and that it has been coming through savings from over the past several years. because it is a large dollar amount. it is great to see the planning come into place this year. my questions were similar to what we have been asking other departments, which is -- first, professional services. how much does your department currently spent on professional services? what services do usually contract out for? >> we spend very, very little. my guess is probably less than 5%. the only kind of services to contract out for is we have a software vendor license. trying to think what other services to contract out. >> kimberly -- chief administrative officer. predominately it is i.t. so we contract out for our software vendor for it the easy access system. we also contract out for our recorder system called adpak. those of the two major services contracts. s

supervisor kim: ok, thank you. supervisor elsbernd: thank you, a supervisor kim. why don't we proceed with public comment? for the folks are called were not in line, please do so. that is my cue on when to call work hard, when a shortened. >> -- when the line is short. >> my name is rebecca. i am a native san franciscan. supervisor elsbernd: please begin to the microphone. >> i grew up in san francisco. i have been part of the lgbt community. one of my greatest i school memories was being out with stop aids, probably as the youngest female member of the time. as an adult, i have been involved with san francisco general and the haight ashbury clinics. i am a little nervous. i have also been involved in burning man and the art projects. i know eli spear personally. he is a close friend of mine. i have worked with him closely on projects. i know his dedication to the community and art is incredible. that is why i am here today, because i have been a patron of the eagle talon. i have loved the eagle tavern very much. i miss it. i am also here today to say it is empty

supervisor kim: let me clarify that. we will still have public schools in district 6, but not one in the project. >> i am a heavy supporter of marshall elementary. they should absolutely get this program. >> it to back up, the program is based on international model of the five e's. education, encouragement, enforcement, engineering, and evaluation. due to the funding source, the enforcement and engineering parts were not fund the bulk. so we're only going to be talking about three out of the five e's in this presentation. these are the program schools with the old district lines, and we're going to be looking at -- actually, we have work to do. we will have to look at the district map and look at the overlay and see which school districts we will need to do special outreach to. supervisor avalos: i am happy to see two district's 11 schools there. >> and we would love to have way more than just 15. supervisor avalos: of course. actually, it has been a great program for my district, especially longfellow -- longfellow whi

supervisor elsbernd: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i appreciated you spell that out for us. did you give public notice to everyone within 500 feet of the building? >> yes, we did. supervisor kim: when was that done? >> i was not involved, but i spoke with the licensing rep. assured me posting had been done. -- she assured me the posting had been done. she had the affidavit of mailing. the only thing she was not lacking was the pcn determination. it was done sometime in 2011. supervisor kim: to get a better sense of the time line, you initiated the transfer in august of last year? >> if you like, i can go get it. there was quite a bit of consternation in the community and press. i believe louis april-may of 2011. sometime after that, there was the issue of keeping it closed too long and losing your non- conforming status. it was thought the owner would put -- find a liquor license, put it back on the premise sought least have a license intact on the premise and then work out a deal with alex and mike. that went on through the fall. that was still going on as late as april and

supervisor kim: i do. i do have a motion that would amend the planning code, that would put in an annual monitoring report that will allow the city to monitor this issue. i have not had time to speak to the author of the legislation on it. i do have 11 copies for colleagues to look at. it does send this item back to the planning commission and for that reason, i thought it might be better to continue this issue rather than send it back to planning. supervisor wiener: i have not seen any proposed amendment. i have been hearing rumors of amendment. i have not seen any. this has been back and forth to planning several times. i do not support sending this back to the planning commission again. if anyone wants to do drilling legislation around monitoring, that is appropriate. in terms of the monitoring, i do not agree that is something that needs to happen so quickly that it needs to go back to the planning commission i think for the third time. i do have a concern about sending it back. to planning. supervisor

supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: our office also has some questions we ask the permits as well. one was on how much your department currently spends on professional services. i know that you usually meet or exceed what you itemize for that line item. >> i'm not sure i understand question. supervisor kim: what do you currently spend of professional services? two vendors? supervisor kim: external, nonprofit, legal, anything you are contracting out for your department? >> about $250,000. mainly they relate to support services, lexus nexus, messengers, legal support services, and the like. of course, there are times when we contract with outside counsel. some of that we paid directly out of our office. sometimes it comes out of other city department budgets. mostly it relates to legal support services and outside counsel. supervisor kim: it would be great to have a breakdown. they all sound alike were these services, but it would be helpful to get a sense of them, and we like to look a cost effectiveness.

supervisor kim: do you have a deadline? an entire fiscal year has passed and i was promised this would happen. >> i will check with the clerk and see if we have established a firm debris we want to make sure we do it in partnership with the clerk and all the board members are comfortable with that date for the conversion. based on our conversation, they are very excited about the new office 365 coming out in august for us. soon after august as possible, we will get you on the new system. supervisor kim: why did we not pick a gmail or cloud-based system? why is it we did not move to a system like that? >> the subcommittees' went through a least a year of discussion and analysis with various e-mail systems. willits that the newer version of lotus and it was the recommendation of the city that we go with exchange. we have 70 e-mail systems that we support. wanted -- wanted to implement something that would get accepted widely by the city and jameel was discussed but we looked at the project and we thought we could overcome the

supervisor kim: thank you, supervisors. would have liked to have forward this with a understand, and i would rather this go out unanimously with no recommendation to the full board. i will motion. i want to thank all the parties that were involved in this. at the full board, we will have an opportunity to speak about our thoughts about this again. i do appreciate many of the comments that have been made. sacrifices were made on all sides. i think that a key part of this charter amendment, as supervisor campos and supervisor farrell pointed out, is the revenue- generating ordinance that will move forward to the voters in november. and we look forward to full support from the housing trust fund coalition for the revenue- generating measure as well, because i think that they are key partners as we move forward in november to ensuring that we have a permanent stream for of affordable housing and, of course, for down payment assessment -- assistance for many of our residents to like to live and afford to live and buy a home here

supervisor chu: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: there are valid reason for why we are pulling the trigger. i understand mechanically we can because we projected a deficit of more than $100 million. having a look at the department of budgets, i see some large increases, sometimes up to 152%. while i think a lot of those requests are about in terms of job creation, schools are also a priority. i think we will be hearing a number of valid questions being raised over the course of the next few weeks as to why we are pulling the trigger and whether that can get reduced at all. especially because of the state cuts we are seeing in our public education system, and another reduction of our school year, this year, they are proposing a four additional days that they will shorten the school year by which tremendously impacts our student's ability to learn and for us to close the achievement gap, which is our cities number one priority. i do think we need to ask questions about the priorities we are putting in our budget this y

with that, i will support supervisor kim's motion. supervisor olague: i will support supervisor kim's motion also. september 10 is right after the august break. i am not convinced there will be a lot of time for the things that need to happen. supervisor kim: i am happy to amend the motion to september 24. supervisor wiener: without objection, the man is amended. supervisor kim: i think the process is incredibly important, especially in a neighborhood that is already saturated with a group license, and there are a number of things i will consider as we move forward as the type of businesses that are intended to be as part of the neighborhood. just for a little bit of context, and any census tract it is suggested there are only seven alcohol-serving but years, but there are 33 here. i think there are a number of questions that i will have certainly in terms of what the clientele and security plan and the type of business you plan to move forward, just so you also know in terms of the area, this part of the city has more than doubled th

supervisor kim: i do. i am not sure if i would direct this to you, but i did a little bit of research on an vitiated address for the transfer, which is the dear mom fabar and the 09 of beard and mustaches. we called abc, and the current liquor license on file at that address is 47 not of 48. come home the agenda item before us says this is a resolution to terminate the premises transfer of a type 48 until general public premises liquor license. can we transfer oa license w thc will have to address to you. the information we gathered is it was a promise to promise, type 48. -- premise to premise. clarification would have to come from abc. supervisor kim: there is no one from abc at this meeting. that is what we learned when we contacted abc is that they owned a 47 license. in that case, what would happen in the situation that has the wrong license number on it? >> again, that would be with abc because that belongs to them. they would make the ultimate decision. transfer a license that does not exist? superv
