supervisor kim: i was always politically active. i was always working on statewide initiatives, and i worked on several campaigns. i worked as an organizer. i did not really have an interest in an electoral process, because -- i just have this perception the process was 30, and when i went to the ballot to vote, it looked like i was taking the better of two evils. i did not have a strong interest. working as an organizer, you get to know issues surrounding budget for schools or housing, and i began to see people were really accessible and some had started working with the community and we got more and more engaged. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? supervisor kim: i think i definitely fall on the left. >> was there anything surprising about the campaign process? supervisor kim: it was my third campaign running for office. i ran for the school board twice before. in many ways, i was already -- i already knew what i had signed myself up for. it was physically grueling, emotionally grueling, really tiring. the on

on the legislation is to have a sign on the outside of the buildingspots inside. >> supervisor kim: i am very supportive of the legislation but i share the same concerns, the monitoring and enforcement piece can be hard to do given our capacity and resources. >> supervisor wiener: public education is also important. there was a project in my district no longer being used, the spots were not used for car sharing anymore.did contact my office and filed the complaint with the planning department. >>: will there be penalty fees scheduled? incorporated as part of this? >>: standard planning code violation fees. >> supervisor kim: thank you. >> supervisor wiener: if there are no further comment, we will open it up for public comment. do we have any comments?(sounds like). come on up in either order. >>: good afternoon supervisors i'm here speaking on behalf of the sierra club; we oppose this legislation. congestion on city streets.add to the planet contributes to climate change whether internal combustion car or an electric vehicle.20 pounds of greenhouse gases per gallon. so obviously this

new construction -- >> co-chair kim: i see. so new construction is also included in that as well. >> i'm not sure where those stats came from but i can assure you that 200 -- no more than 200 units a year get converted from existing residential units. >> co-chair kim: okay. thank you very much. >> sure. >> chair wiener: president chiu. >> supervisor chiu: a couple of additional follow-up questions to supervisor kim's questions. this is either to the controller's office or to the author of the legislation around the -- how the fee was set. when i looked at the controller's nexus study on how this was done, i understand this proposal creates a $20,000 conversion fee. and what the nexus study suggests is that that would be a potential fee that could be justified for $300,000 t.i.c., but for $400,000 t.i.c. the nexus study suggests that you could have a conversion fee of about $30,000 and for a half a million, $500,000 t.i.c. the nexus study suggests potential conversion fee up to $35,000. when you add that to the fact that this leg

. >> supervisor kim i completely appreciate and respect those comments. affordable housing is also a huge issue in my district and a big issue everywhere. i completely support more affordable housing generally in all of its different forms. but i think i also, not just in any district, but everywhere i go in the city, people are very, very frustrated with the deterioration of our public transportation system and especially as we're adding new development with low parking ratios. which are just starting to come online now, a lot of people are really nervous about what that means for the transportation system and the strain on muni. it's just a very nervous time for the future of transportation in the city. and so i am not suggesting that -- i am just suggesting that we go back to our baseline. it's actually above that baseline for affordable housing fees, because at it's tier a. at transit it should be at that baseline, which is still inadequate, but this would be as currently proposed. >> i am seeing these amendments for the first time now and i don't have

i think commissioner kim mentioned no african-americans or latinos. i see a number of limited asian americans as well but i thank you for the data that allow us to look at representation. my sense is that we should continue the one of the appointments so that we can hear from our colleague from district three and let me go to commissioner campos. >> thank you. thank you mr. chair. my suggestion and i make a motion that we move forward the reappointment of joseph flanagan for district six and with respect to the district three appointment that we continue that to the call of the chair, so that we have an opportunity to hear directly from the district three supervisor so that's my motion. >> commissioner kim. okay. so we heard that motion and second. is there any objection to that motion? then it carries. thank you. ms. ching. thank you everyone. please call item

are asking, about what is the right level, is it is the heart of the judgment call, and chair person kim i am really relating to your request that the board be presented with multiple options rather than just one solution for the problem. i observed that we have $500 million left to spend and we are talking about $64 million of that, $500 million left to spend. if you believe as i know that you do, that this is the correct level of safety eninvestment, i am interested in being presented with options for how to reduce costs somewhere else in the project then, i'm also interested in having a discussion about multiple options on solving the revenue piece. some of these are robbing from phase two to shift the money to phase one, which is probably something that i would be interested in avoiding, but in both cases, on the cost cut and revenue side i am interested in the multiple options. i really want to pick up on director reiskin's idea of a third party oversight that could report to the board with recommendations. >> thank you, for your comments. i think that director, chair person kim's que

hershkowitz, i like what they have to say and i would like to see the move forward. >> supervisor kim: supervisor yee? >> i want to thank everyone for coming out also. and chairperson kim, i really appreciate the whole issue of wanting to discuss the translation services available to our residents. i know how difficult it is. you are right. one may be able to speak in chinese or spanish or whatever; it does not mean they can translate formal types of words. i did not get to meet any of these people. but when i read the resume of ms. robia crisp, i was impressed by the resume. i know she did not apply for the alternate position. if she did not apply, does it mean we cannot nominate her for the alternate position? >> city attorney? >> should ask the question again? >> deputy city attorney. the committee can essentially mix and match. if the applicant has applied for one of the positions on the agenda item, you can appoint her to a different position. >> thank you. so i would like to have a discussion around appointing mendoza -- to seat number 1 possibly. ms. lewis to seat 6. mr. hershk

. >> i want to give supervisor kim to say a few words too. >> thank you. i think supervisor yee already said a lot of things about our early education department but, you know, as just xooend the communication we had over the few months i think one of the things we look at is that kindergartner enter into our school system we see the gap and their such on incredibly important piece and the staff that have championed it have made a real difference. i hope that as we have more discussions around prop h that we really have a robust discussions on how to fund prek. we're dealing with this head on before our young school children enter the program. and i want to thing our staff none of you look old enough to have been around for thirty years. this says a lot about our program so thank you four all your work. >> thank you colleagues. at this time why do we move on >> now is the opportunity for the public to comment including the items open adaptation without reference to collapsed. please remember that the items are that were arrested talked about are not availab

so without further ado, i will call up the planning department. i'm sorry. >> thank you, supervisor kim for the introductory remarks and before we get to planning i wanted to make a few initial remarks. i have been following this plan for quite some time back to before i was a member of the board of supervisors and i first want to just thank supervisor kim for her work on the plan. this is not a plan that was initiated when she was in office. and she has done an enormous amount of work on it and i am not envious for steping into a plan as controversial and complicated as this plan, but supervisor kim, i think, has done a very good job taking into consideration a number of the concerns that have been raised and asking if it can be steered to a resolution that people can live with. so thank you, supervisor. i have had some significant concerns about this plan. i just want to put that out there from the beginning and i'm looking forward to the dialogue today. i understand the number of the goals of the plan, but i do have concerns, and i'm hoping that we can address some of them through th

supervisor kim i am one of our reasons and i would like to give you a little credit you make it in our room by your people here. this here shows you two brothers one of them must win and they are two brothers. i can't blame any one of you but the - i blame the mayor he is lazy. i wish he would hear what i'm saying. but 49 eras i said here just to show with the (inaudible) i wish we can win and i hope. thank you, thank you all of you. thank you supervisor >> thank you next speaker. >> god bless you supervisors and glad bless the city and county of san francisco. today for this black history month i am very reluctant to talk about this subject. i was a teacher at marshall academic high school and which at that time was a low income high crime county. and marshall high school was set up for black and latin use to succeed in high school and slowly that population has been squeezed out of that school. that school was a preschool. i think there needs to be a look at marshall high school and we need to ask ourselves what's going on over there how many our black people and latin are not being

(clapping) >> so we're going to take a quick photograph. >> i want to give supervisor kim to say a few words too. >> thank you. i think supervisor yee already said a lot of things about our early education department but, you know, as just xooend the communication we had over the few months i think one of the things we look at is that kindergartner enter into our school system we se

>> yes sure. >> i will follow up and turn it back to supervisor kim. on the aau issue and i say this as the author of the student housing legislation, that really restricted conversion of residential housing stock to student housing. this has been a concern for me. and one of the things that i have always said with regards to aau, is that they really need to go through this settlement negotiation process, and that as i understand it, that settlement agreement whatever is agreed to would form the basis of some sort of potentially a development agreement for various aau properties. which i think could change specific zoning. so i guess following up to the question that supervisor kim just asked, if we don't grandfather them in, so they then have this school non-residential school site, and their cu, the cu application would be invalidated, because it would no longer be permitted. if as part of the settlement negotiations with the planning department, there were an agreement that they could operate a school there, presumably, the zoning could then change a

supervisor kim? >> i would feel more comfortable having it scheduled for next week, but i am happy to let our community know it got continued, so they wouldn't waste their time and come out. >> whichever you do prefer, supervisor. >> i do prefer one week. >> back to the removal of the grand fathering for the 11th street property. colleagues can we take that out objection? that will be the order. [ gavel ] and i want to acknowledge supervisor kim and her staff for spending an awful lot of time on that one parcel and i wanted to express my gratitude for that. i know you and your staff took that incredibly seriously. thank you. now to the academy of arts university property. i guess my take on this issue is if it's the case that this can be considered as part of the settlement agreement and resulting presumably, with a department agreement as president chiu said. if on the other hand for reasons that i'm not aware of and it's the case it would not somehow we possible to dole with that as part of the settleme

. >> co-chair kim: thank you. i want to appreciate president chiu's thoughts and appreciated the last few hours, hearing the personal stories of our first time homeowners and our tenants in san francisco and really feeling that it was very tragic that we have set up a situation where folks that need to be homeowners and renters and live in san francisco are pitted against each other within the same group of housing stock. and what we're talking about specifically of course is our rent controlled housing stock. and i think the larger problem that i really see today of course is how our banks and our realtors set up -- you know many of our first time owners, in many ways for failure or incredibly difficult time being homeowners in san francisco, with higher interest rates, just very kind of -- forcing people to feel like they're stuck in the place that they are. at the same time, we've got to hear about how renters are feeling the squeeze as well in the current economy as rent continues to rise. as someone who went ba
