the trailing legislation and this essentially does what all massage has to go through a conditional use whether to dp or cam pack so i'm happy to answer questions is the colleagues may happen i'd like to bring up cindy she's a wonderful helper back in 2007 a change through the board of supervisors to transfer the regulation of massage from the sfpd to dpw to dpw despite they're small staff has been crucial to our ability to again properly address the issues we see in the establishments which cindy will highlight some of which we're very worried about including the human trafficking with that i'm going to turn it over to cindy. >> thank you how do i switch. >> sfgovtv please. >> there you go i'm cindy work in the environmental health branch of the health department i manage planning and policy today, i'm going to give you a brief official of the magazine angles particulars in san francisco i want to emphasize why the department supports the package of the internal controls this first slide shows all the magazine ages location in san francisco currently, we have 2 hundred and 36 in sa

i suggest there is a process to make legislative amendments and that's right. there is a legislative process for that but that's not what is at issue here. what is at issue here is what response the board of supervisors is going to provide to a civil grand jury that has identified specific issues and concerns around the area of ethics, and i think that the reason why i support these changes is because i don't believe that the response should be that everything is fine which i think is essentially what the existing response comes down to. i think that we need to respond by acknowledging that in fact there are things that need to be worked on. i don't think that we need to work on those things today. there is as people noted a legislative process but i think it's really important for the board of supervisors to be on record that the concerns that have been raised by the civil grand jury are concerns that are legitimate, that we recognize them as such, and that we are committed to doing something about that and i think that statement is a statement that is very ne

let me talk about this for ab 40 it is legislation that will ban charging a toll for pedestrians use of golden gate i'm sure you're aware of the golden gate is a public treasure owned below the people nont not only in san francisco but san franciscans from the greater bay area and san franciscans enjoy the bridge as a public place a gateway to national parks with a history in architecture wonder the resolution i'll be introducing will be ab 40 comes with conversations with various planners of public space and visits as well will be moving at the next finance committee to take a support position and i look forward to our comments as it moves through the board of supervisors. >> thank you very much supervisor wiener. >> supervisor christensen. >> i'm sorry supervisor wiener. >> thank you, ma'am chair i want to thank supervisor mar for the statement about the golden gate bill we were san francisco commissioners were these almost completely united including the bike pedestrian fee in terms of ab 61 it is important to keep in mind two things first of all this motion is not to move us from

currently as the legislation, in terms of that specific deadline in the current legislation -- excuse me, commissioner tour-sarkissian -- it is specified in the legislation that the commission is to develop a program, to come back before they have a public hearing at the commission and go back before the board of supervisors to present it. and that is at the end of june, by the end of june. currently as it's written in the legislation. all of this may get adjusted depending on the timing of when the legislation gets passed. so i'd like to stay with this internal time frame because again as soon as the legislation passed in april but we kind of have a program idea involved in what may be needed in terms of any additional budgeting or support to fund a program, if it does need to be something that's added to our budget then i need to have a good idea as to what that is by the end of march or early april in terms of meeting the budget cycle. >> okay, so we going to do this in the time frame eventually. >> yes. >> and you have that planned? >> yes. so i just i guess maybe open it up to yo

of where we're headed in the application is submitted and they preceded from the date of legislation the grandfathered will apply. >> basically have to have an politician and to years to get the approval and the approval date is the measuring point of two years from the time the mayor sizes up it into law. >> that's what we're thinking. >> it makes sense to me a lot of those projects are in existence and already planned and in you'll see legislation the option exists whether or not to have parking or not and try to change it at this point promotions that are in the pipeline is not good to do it is aimed at the fine-grained areas of president breed is aiming at in my estimation packing wouldn't be undergo areas of bike lanes on big streets there are lots of curb cuts and you know areas of parking that is part of the almost every project is not part of the issue i'm supporting the legislations and the recommendations of staff and the recommendation by the gentleman. >> commissioner wu. >> thank you mr. sanchez can you ask about the impact fee registration can you give me and then examp

i'm the author of item one as a reminder last year, i introduced to champion pieces of legislation this strengths the cities construction and development impact on residents air quality in the city the first thing was unanimously passed when i the board required combrasz combalsz ventilation inside the hot spot zone this requires an emissions minimumtion plan and monitoring program for all public projects in the hot spot condone requiring the equipment to minimize the emotion some studies have shown an association with particularly matter and significant health problems that combludz u includes the chronic brooklyn kits and reduced function and heartache and premature dedicate in people with premature health conditions the south eastern district suffers if air pollution that's why we have the asthma and the city of san francisco could a reduce the emissions by utilizing the off-road disease sale an road or whatever position using alternative source of power it's important to note that clean construction mitigation has been a requirement at ceqa and states projecting in the hot zone will

cowen the staff recommended a watch position on this bill it is sponsored by southern california legislator providing the authorities to state authority for the access it is rather early we want to talk to our colleagues that have not will taken a recommendation so that's the early stages this item comes back with the matrix every month. >> so for clarification the consultants made the recommendation for us to opts. >> this was a staff recommendation and mark keeps track of it but that's a staff recommendation excuse me. the finance took the action to switch position. >> so there's a motion it on the table and seconded by supervisor tang excuse me. supervisor campos thank you, madam chair i'm sure you're aware of those of us who serve on the finance committee voted to oppose it was a unanimous votes ones the finance committee the reason we right let me see voted in that way because let's be very clear about this this is about privatizing public space to the stent there is a need for something like that there's an argument that the jurisdictions already have that authority and what this is i

now you're an author of the legislation. >> no. i was involved in informal working groups but in october i came on board. >> all right. so tell me where do you see yourself in five years? >> so i'm a new attorney. i graduated in 2013 from stanford law school and i went to school to do public interest work and i landed in an ideal place and i would like to do this work and a staff attorney in the bay area and where i want to stay. >> after the first term my work isn't done and i want to do more time so tell me then should this board not sunset in 2017 -- critical caveat and two years time is not much time. what you are going to produce? what are you looking to accomplish? i . >> i think on the basic level what i hope the board can accomplishes coming up efficient effective data collection tool that is cognizant of the way businesses collect the data they also have and how we can encourage them to collect more and a tool that would enable the human rights commission to actually use that to see if there is pay discrimination going on

as a reminder the legislation that we approved last year has a new section to the administrative code, non discrimination provisions that requires all city contractors with at least 20 employees to give a report to the commission. the report will have summaries and identified by sex and race. the legislation creates an equal pay advisory board to which the amazing applicants today are applying. the board is charged with designing a data collection system to identify if discrimination is taking place at a work place and lessen the administrative burden on city contractors. the mayor's office and the commission on the status commission on the status of women will also appoint people to the group. after the recommendations are submitted they will collect wage data for city contractors. if they believe that wage discrimination has occurred at a business it can investigate that business to determine whether workers receive equal pay for equal work. if the commission dsms that the employer has violated the law the commission can recommend that the city department working with the business i

my understanding is that historic signs are exempt from the legislation. one thing that the legislation does do putting aside historic signs because we have signs and awnings that are pretty problematic when a building is vacant for a certain period of time or longer, the no business would no longer be grandfathered. >> supervisor christiansen does that help address your concern? >> desirable signs in the process? >> this is the first reading, so at that time maybe we can resolve your issue and if necessary make amendments at that time. >> great. >> okay. seeing no other names on the roster, can we take the item same house, same call? without objection the item passes unanimously madame clerk next item. >> to establish a procedure for requesting a reasonable modification to accommodate a disability pursuant to planning department practices and procedures to affirm the ceqa determination and establishing the appropriate findings. >> can we take this item same house same call without objection this ordinance -- excuse me, before i move on, supervisor wiener.

before he left to go to sacramento generally for existing businesses this legislation will not change the controls but for locations that closed down for 6 months between attendants the signs for that business including the awnings when the something like that, etc. need to be you i didn't want to be in conformity with the controls that helps to insure that awning are clean and safe and our corridors are not clustered and windows to the street are not unnecessarily obtaining occurred this makes sure the billboard companies are not mass raiding as signs there were billboard companies one in particular that were exploiting a will that in the planning code to say they were a business sign but really be a billboard the voters amazing over and over again not to allow new blldz in san francisco we were able to close that billboard through the interim controls we're making permanence i want to offer one amendment to this piece of legislation made by the planning commission to amend the planning controls to allow for business signage to be more higher than 50 feet of grade i believe it will b

. >> i don't want to put you on the spot i mean as you know we move forward with legislation like this it is good for us to have a process by which we think about the resources that are necessary phenomenal not only for this legislation but all legislation that requires a level of enforcement but anyway i wanted to put that concern i think this is not an issue everyone about comply and that will be in place. >> a lot of it will be discussed in the preconstruction a lot of contractors that don't have the equipment they'll lease it so the sort of hinge that leads to non-compliance will be negotiated up front and it's all the local hiring arrest the equipment piece is easier i was worried about the vehicles i woulding. >> that's harder to enforce so the equipment piece i'm a lot less concerned with. >> and i think. >> maybe not in the hearing but in the future good to think about it. >> all again public policy for the public and part of this ordinance has signage requirements so hopefully, there are another aspects that the public can become more aware of. >> i'm confident we'll get well

legislation. i don't want to cut anyone off and senator leahy didn't do that when he was chairman of the committee, but if you could keep, do your very best to keep your remarks around five minutes each, that will help us make sure that everyone has an opportunity to speak. in a minute i'm going to turn to the ranking member for his remarks on the bills and the nominees on the agenda. from their we will go back and forth from each side for people to speak. i'm going to defer to my colleagues and withhold my remarks until everyone else has had their say. when i finish my remarks and we returned to the legislation and intake of any amendments that members want to offer and debate those amendments, act we consider the amendment on the first bill i would set that bill aside and take up amendments on the second bill. then after we dispense with all the amendments on both bills will take up the entire agenda in a series of votes. first we would vote on the bills and then will vote on the lynch nominatio

congress enacted legislation the amnesty legislation, purporting to rescind en masse all section three disabilities for everyone affected by the mandate with the exception of confederate officeholders. 500 in a demonstration of their waning power in the branch republicans in congress argued that there were no more men more undeserving of amnesty than the men who had been touched by the legislation. amnesty was debated at the same time as an amendment to the bill that would have barred discrimination on the basis of race. and would have barred discrimination on the basis of previous condition of servitude. this was legislation introduced by senator sumner, who pair the antidiscrimination bill with the amnesty bill with this interesting attempt to couple the granting of rights for the formerly enslaved. for his colleagues, who argued that the issue should be entirely separate, he reported you must be just to the colored race before you are generous to the former rebels. despite his impassioned pleas and over 24 hours of debate, congress punted on civil rights for the formerly enslaved an

in fact, we had permission as a city to come out in favor of state wide legislation last legislative session. we actively educated legislatures about this issue. the problem was we had a big concerted effort by industry to block a state wide solution. so when i hear from industries saying we need a state wide solution, i agree, and join me, my call to industry if that's what we need, join san francisco in getting a state wide solution just like we saw for the plastic bag ban. don't say we need it on the one hand and block it when there's a bill. just like president breed has said, this is not done in a vacuum. our department has had six stakeholders meetings and countless conversations over the last three years. this is a well thought out carefully crafted ordinance that you have before you. and we're not unique. these pharmaceutical companies have managed to pay for this in many, many other county -- i'm sorry, countries across the world. so canada, many providences in canada have a pharmaceutical industry paid take back. same with mexico same with the countries in the european unio

we've got legislation we agree on. the president frankly, in my view, provoked a crisis by acting unilaterally. that view, by the way, is not just a narrow view by a few people he is in court defending his actions over 30 states are involved in a lawsuit against him because of what he did. he knew it was geng to be controversial. he waited until after the elections to try and pick a fight. i think probably try to cover up a little bit for how poorly his side did in that particular election. anything to change the topic. so now we're here. the house has reacted to that, i think in an appropriate form and sent it to the senate. the senate, the democratic minority has simply refused to allow any debate. they can do that under the senate rules. i respect that process. but let's be clear about who is stopping the funding of homeland security. it's actually democratic senators who don't allow a measure to even come up for debate. if that measure came up for debate what this house passed, i suspect it would be changed in some

i'm a legislative aid for supervisor campos so our office commission a report from the budget analyst that talked about the small business a projected loss of 40 thousand locally owned businesses in 2014 and this is in compare with the study find 1994 where it is only 6 hundred and 93 businesses it outlines a sector with a high-level of turnover so closer and roenlz have gone from 1 thousand 2 hundred to 12 thousand to 11 so businesses in san francisco are at risk of being represented by new businesses and the number of businesses closing relative to new businesses opposing it 52 percent during the same time the commercial rent have arisen to a record high it averaged about $189 per square feet and the wildly recorded rentsd have risen 2 hundred plus percentage peaking at one hundred and 75 there's we anticipate the real estate prices will grow if the current demand keeps up we believe that the small business each gives the city it's character and what makes it educate he building that still has a responsibility to protect the small businesses isn't there from the economic pressures c

moving forward with lighting speed it has errors and other flaws that need to be corrected this legislation is a very, very sexy i can make a reaction to the issue the updating of the reorganizing and consolidating consistent hundreds of pages of the planning code it was supported and the legislation didn't make substantive amendment but makes it easier for everyone even the public to rely and read the code thank you aaron starr for his work i don't remember the last time we considered so many pages and our city deputy city attorney if so has worked to keep this current every time we amended the code there are challenges and consisted to deal with and tom for his work he put a lot of time with this ordinance i have a few oral amendments i'm going to describe before we go to public comment a general amendment to conform that with the changes in the formulating ordinance and second correcting inversely minor errors in the table with that i'll invite mr. star up. >> thank you supervisor wiener it's a very sexy ordinance i'm excited about it i'm aaron starr the planning person this amends the s

on to public comment on this item is there any public comment on this item on the legislative agenda seeing none, public comment is closed. and we have a motion on the floor. >> on the motion to amend the masking. >> supervisor avalos supervisor campos supervisor cohen supervisor kim supervisor mar masking is amended. >> okay. the motion is amend the masking 83 is amended and the underlying can we take that without objection? okay. so we'll >> i also wanted to amend the eric mar so. >> thank you leo. >> next item. >> state road charge p

legislation to clearly define the roles in case of a breach. we should identify the method, speed, delivery and content of notifications. a hard time limit for breach notification may be unattainable for small organizations. a tiered approach based upon the size and designation of an organization would make compliance possible for all. we should encourage organizations that collect data to be transparent about the use of such data. consumers appear to be happy to give over their data and their privacy to services for the sake of convenience. we should clearly define expectations for security and storing personally identifiable data. given the highly publicized breaches, it is apparent that more work is needed. no matter the size of the company, certain expectations of security should be defined when data is collected and stored. it should provide incentives to establish education to better combat breaches. preventive action is necessary. it is important for us to develop cyber security expertise in the u.s. it cannot be off -shored. i applaud y

but we haven't legislation that -- but we have legislation that would basically take the 2010 open internet order that gives consumers protections that many seek and we could make that all that all legal and a and do it tomorrow. >> well, joining our conversation with the chairman, is lynn stanton senior editor of telecommunications reports. >> thank you. you had said that you thought that once the vote was passed, there might be some more opportunity or room for democrats to work with you on the legislation that you mentioned, i know it is early, but have you -- >> no, not yet. the door is open, i want to make that clear. we could have jammed a bill through, but we did not. we got it out there, we started in early january with the discussion draft, we met privately with democrats on the committee and different staff, and there was initially interest in it. but then it got shut down. i think what we have to do now is wait until the order is published, for all to see, it is not available. none of us have read it, only the commissioners and other staff. and then you have to give time for peop

the legislation is named after

move than a legislative solution. i asked my friends on the other side of the aisle who so boldly stood up to express their concerns with the president's executive actions to again stand up to there own leaders and to join us and reining in the president's executive overreach and to not hold hostage the $40 billion $40 billion that the house has appropriated to help fund the department of homeland security through the end of the fiscal year. if if the parts of the house bill are not like and parts that i have i have concerns over and hope we have a chance to vote on but that is the way the senate and house are supposed to relate to one another. the house the house passes legislation, the senate does so, and if they are different and it reconciled in a conference committee or through a back and forth before they go to the president but to just throw a fit and say we refuse to do our job of legislating because you don't like where we are starting to me is extraordinarily counterproductive and is an unfortunate return to

a few comments on this i think this is very good legislation and or policy it's not really legislation but there were some concerns some people voiced about the formula retail part of that and i don't believe that just because the supervisors passed a certain parts of formula retail legislation and set the limit for example at 11 or whatever was before you can't - in didn't mean you can't help the subsets up to the amount of stores for example, those restraining order local firms that are small businesses we should try to expedite them from going through the process and a lot of on that fit the description another one the parking situation i like the fact you're not pun telegraph hill not allowing the sidewalks where parking exists, however small businesses such as a market on the west side of the city would be hard-pressed to open if they can't provide some parking because the demographics is different on that side of town my group of folks and they'd like to support a small store but not carry groceries on the bus they go shopping they're not going to shop there i think i would say i

this is good legislation. the i urge my colleagues to support it. -- i urge colleagues to support it. i yield back the balance of my time. the chair: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the question is on the amendment offered by the gentleman from oregon. so many as are in favor say aye. those opposed, no. in the opinion of the chair the noes have it. the amendment is not agreed to. mr. schrader: request a recorded vote, mr. chairman. the chair: the gentleman from oregon. pursuant to clause 6 of rule 18, further proceedings on the amendment offered by the gentleman from oregon will be postponed. it is now in order to consider amendment number 5 printed in part a of house report 114-14. for what purpose does the gentleman from georgia seek recognition? mr. johnson: mr. speaker i have an amendment at the desk. the chair: the clerk will designate the amendment. the clerk: amendment number 5 printed in part a of house report number 114-14 offered by mr. johnson of georgia. the chair: pursuant to ho

your legislation you recent introduced, the legislation the rapid act in the house these mirror all sorts of other legislation and laws that are in place at the federal level that would impose a deadline or shot clock or something like that that say you can please, please uphold the law but do it in a quick expeditious fashion. that is the closest thing to what our policy at and i want to miss which is a quick upward a decision on export license. >> mr. smith, i think there is some misunderstanding and again i appreciate the leadership senator barrasso and senator heinrich abroad to this but this is the only permit that is needed. the lng export application is not the only federal permit to what of the federal permits are you aware of that projects like this are going to get and is set in addition to the local bishop local or state permits? >> like i said you have to run a outlet to get these things but it takes about two years before you even pre-file the site and all these kind of things. then you have to go through nepa studied by the government can take longer, can take less. you have

i wanted to make a couple of comments on the legislative session. i was too at the legislative committee yesterday and complete understand the current watch position on sb26. i am hopeful and anticipating that we will do everything possible to move that bill to a place where we can move to a support position because it begins to get at all of the things that we spent so much time struggling with around having data that we could use to make good decisions, having the kind of transparency we needed to be able to guide our members in their own best interests, and also to move into an accountability model for health care which of course requires understanding what is happening, so i pledged yesterday and i will pledge again that we want to work with whom ever and on this we feel it's that important and the great thing is we're not -- right at the moment there is no gun to our heads. we're not in the middle of bargaining. we don't have a sutter blue shield disaster looming right this moment. kaiser seems to be calm for the time being so i am hopeful that

the follow-up wouldn't necessarily be in the form of legislation but what happens with the legislation, i would suggest it might be better if that was not in the form of legislation so it could be flexible over time to suggest that what is done with the information, the information, the follow-up practices and so on, might be best in some kind of follow-up technical memo or something that we work on with dbi and the commission could make that recommendation. a lot of times what happens with these types of pieces of information is that it results in practices that we have to change internally so i want to make sure we're not left unprepared if that happens. >> i mean, it reminds me of unreinforced masonry requirement, right? what was their sort of stick to make that happen? >> it was a timeline and then article 10 was amended to basically facilitate any work, any unreinforced masonry building. at that time the landmarks historic planning board could provide some advice to the zoning administrator and director of planning but they weren't subject to certificates of appropriateness and th

we suggested you recommend approval of this legislation bev and dusty from the mayors office of hope is here to talk about that. >> thank you very much mr. duffy. >> thank you, supervisors allison park beacon hill duh the director with the engagements and partnerships i wanted to thank the mayor for sponsoring this measure this is extremely important we come into compliance into the ordinances to establish the ordinance of the right of shelters to be on truthfully the city is not going to be opening many shelters on the focus is on housing but you have taken the time to visit the application center we have tools we'll need to respond to the endisplacements and other abilities to open the facility i hope this legislation helps to keep the people in part of san francisco they feel services are slight in their district we've circulated maps and met with the industrial members of the board it causes them to think about down the roads the services they might consider a small shelter or program help to be responsive i want to point out increase quite a few a number of providers some outsta

for us this legislation is stopping evictions and stopping the loss of rent control unit this is was it boils down to the units are usual on the rent control and the commercial has been rented for years asz as residential and therefore if they meet the requirements the rent ordinance built about 79 in our building of more than one unit they're in the protection of rent control despite their illegal since those sundown in september we've seen a number of cases and calls to our counseling line in the mid market area as supervisor kim said we're facing evictions by landlord that want to turn their apartments into commercial to make money we know that mid-market is hot real estate it is more viable to rent commercial than residential in the mid-market so it seems to me that if we don't have the rent control if planning didn't eventually pass some kinds of rent control on the situation we're going to see the loss of a lot more all over the and service providers people that have made the city what it is the city has to enclosures the policy this is the way the city enforces the policies sa

there have been shares legislative proposals -- various legislative proposals that have called for not only uniform procedures but also security standards. and i appreciate some of your observations about the risks of ftc enforcement. but since that enforcement can already occur wouldn't retailers benefit from a federal law saying that reasonable data a security measures must take into account the size and scope of the organization and the sensitivity of the data collected? >> thank you, senator thune. the ftc effectively has a reasonableness standard either under deception or under unfairness right now. once you begin putting a lot of different factors into that standard then you essentially start the situation was it reasonable as to a as to b as to c, as to d and if a medium-sized company can't check the box on every single one of those factors then they're likely to be in very bad shape. that kind of standard works better when you're developing guidance. and that's a big distinction between the glb standards that mr. johnson has talked about and a uniform national standard. if you'
