it would be nice to have that kind of a value statement as part of the mou. that is key in this whole process. >> my name is judy. in the program director for community arts and education. i do not have words to say how thrilled i am, on behalf of the arts commission and my program in particular. the program was founded 45 years ago on the premise that there should be art for and by the people who live and work in the communities. we have really tried to abide by that. i would be really honored to perhaps come back and do a presentation on some of the programs we have done thus far. we have a commitment to working locally with a local artists. we only higher san francisco and community-based artists. we focus on children and families. we focus on economic development. i am really speechless and thrilled at the opportunities in front of us to continue our work with the bayview opera house and to continue our work with the local school and to develop relationships with the local business community. i would be delighted to show you what we've done thus far in a

. >> that makes sense and i just want to make sure, first of all whether that mou should come back to us before it is finally signed, and whether or not we want something in their that provides dollar amounts around specific projects. maybe there is a five million- dollar art project, perhaps coming before this commission to be responsible for significant dollars. it seems that, because the positions have been raised, it would be another opportunity for public input before it is finalized. >> great. >> i do not know if that makes -- >> the resolution directs us into investments for public art and gives direction to the general manager to give the work to sign the mou. >> but there is no problem with continuing this item for filing this item? we have been the light plant in getting this discussion to you, so we wanted to make sure that there was an item before you. there is no problem at all with going to hearing and coming back. >> would it be alright to amend the resolution as such where the people involved say that the puc will negotiate and bring back to the commission a memorandum

i believe that at&t does have a particular letter of intent or mou, would everyone to call it. with individual supervisors, it would memorialize that in writing. supervisor mirkarimi: what piques my interest is if we reflect on the normal course of action that with an exemption does not require eir, when it occurs for one location, typically it is a ceqa response for all locations. i highly doubt that through any ceqa process there would be this sort of selective evaluation. i think that in effect is what at&t was trying to avoid in the first place. if there in fact is that backstop as a supervisor to say no, i think that is an important voice for us to be able to memorialize, and that is a voice i am willing to support. it's the best of both worlds is we are allowed to advance in areas where we need to advance, but retain that particular right to exercise our power on behalf of constituents who overwhelmingly say no. i want to make sure that is respected. that is what i am trying to understand, that that is what is clear and binding. supervisor campos: i know that we have been

already, and then at&t has also done a separate mou with individual supervisors that perhaps has not been seen. as i understand it, it does involve the district supervisors and the specific sightings, starting with the very first box that would be sighted and would give great deference to supervisors' wanting to put it somewhere or do not have it in a particular street or neighborhood, so apparently, the city attorney has not seen that, and that is not a criticism, just that that apparently did not happen. that is my understanding of the process separate from the general mou that the city attorney was describing. >> john, through the chair. that is true. what i was citing to was a letter from at&t to the department of public works and not to board members. dpw did inform me that they, when they received an application from at&t, they will also provide notice to each board member in the district of those locations, as well, but there is a separate member but i hear that additional -- the board members of received, as well. president chiu: colleagues, any further discussion? supervisor

that is is essentially the mou. the tolling agreement was a request that the san mateo county had. our office, from a policy perspective, working with the city attorney's office, felt that making this tolling agreement with san mateo with respect to the local hiring legislation would not put us in a negative position, and it was a matter that san mateo county was quite interested in having. we felt that, from a policy perspective, it would not impact our ability to continue to move the program forward. it there is any questions, happy to answer, and i encourage your support. supervisor mar: thank you. colleagues, seeing no question, let's open this up to public comment. is there anyone from the public who would like to speak? ms. jackson. >> good afternoon. i am asking you to please pass on this, because it has been over a year now, almost two years, that we have worked on at this for local hiring here in san francisco. and there is going to be a meeting at 3:00 here at city hall to talk about giving an update on how the local hiring has been going. and that will be in room 278 wit

campbell stated, it is to implement the existing provisions of the mou. supervisor mirkarimi: and so, ms. katz, on the question of the $10,000 and us not being able to find that, what would happen? what would be the consequence? >> the supervisor would not take on a department-issued cellular phone. rather he would be at the shelter more frequently to respond to emergency situations, and in which case he would either approve compensatory time in excess of the mou provisions for which he would be paid out, or an assistant supervisor would fill his positions for other duties, and they get paid at time and a half. for some odd reason, the mou that covers the supervisors and assistant supervisors requires that the supervisors get $1 more per page. . they are paid pretty similar. we would ultimately end up incurring greater cost to the department. supervisor mirkarimi: i know this is a negligible amount in the scheme of things. am i hearing from the department head brown that this is something we should correct on the $10,000? >> it would be our desire to have

supervisor wiener: i do like the idea of mou spellings responsibility. i think that i see ms ballard. i wanted to acknowledge jake, a wonderful section manager that oversees dolores park. i would hazard to guess that it is the most challenging part in the city for good and challenging reasons. a very popular park. let's thank you. -- >> thank you. >> perhaps mr. anderson can start with an overview? >> i am the parks service manager for rec and park. dolores park is our major facility. but there are other devotions in a number of facilities. briefly i wanted to talk about the impact on the park itself and the operational impact of maintaining the abandoned station. so, i am going to wing it in terms of overall, this station, which has close to follow, is really the definition of an attractive nuisance. not only is it the graffiti that you have seen, it is illegal encampments, public latrines, shooting galleries, you name it. the maintenance burden put on us in the past has been quite high. so, overall in the scope of -- ok. you will see, as this comes up

a large part of the budget hangs in the balance in terms of where we are with the negotiated mou's. do you have an update on that? >> absolutely. gosset the mayor's budget director. as of yesterday, we have a tentative agreement, which is consistent with the mayor's budget submission. it still has to be ratified by the members of the police officers association, the firefighters' union. however, it is a very significant concession that we have agreed to. it tentatively. and it will keep our budget in balance. there'll be a few administrative changes we will need to make to implement it, but is absolutely manageable. i just want to thank the police officers association, the firefighters' union for their agreement. they stepped up again to provide a significant help to the city to help us balance our budget. i think we just need to be cognizant of the importance of that and what it has done for us to be able to protect services in this budget. supervisor chu: thank you. supervisor wiener: that is really good news. if i could just ask you -- is it -- i know that the 3% raise is going f

also an agenda item to talk about the state of the mou we have a housing authority and what our policies are. >> is more at the next meeting. >> we can have that as an agenda item and we do have information on that. >> there was some articles and at freedom of information act -- freedom of information act requests regarding our code enforcement. i think it's time to see where we are at with the housing authority properties and our understanding of helping them achieve good code enforcement. >> we can certainly do that. >> great. maybe we can invite the director of housing authority. >> if you couldn't, during the course of how your discussions take place -- >> we should invite them. >> i would like to see it. >> me, too. >> item 7b -- the commission may take action to set the date of a special meeting and determine the items to be placed on the agenda for the next meeting and other future meetings of the building commission. >> we requested a joint commission with the planning commission. can we get that on the books? >> we have had and potentially have a couple of dates being considered

. >> or, we could modify this permit right now by deleting all references to the mou. >> i could explain what the proper permits are. he has the proper permits. there is even a notice of violation on here that has been available. this is a badly written permit. >> ok. >> is that mr. sanchez's faults. >> not tonight. >> is there any public comment? ok. >> i will move to uphold the permit -- excuse me, grant the appeal. >> mr. duffy has made reference to the stairs and that is a separate permit. actually on the application, it refers to the violation to look at that particular application. what i would ask the board to do would be to deny the appeal and to give mr. duffy and i the opportunity to sit down. i can give you my pledge of good faith. i don't think that they have had any problems dealing with me. this will allow us to move forward without concerns over what exactly it is that the board has told us that we cannot do. >> he is constrained about figuring out what has been done rather than trying to figure it out. that is my concern. thank you. >> is any rebuttal from you? >> i think

as you know, we wanted to have an mou, and it is on the agenda today, and there is a report. >> the general manager for water. we have been working with rec and park for some time. we produced a draft to that and put it out and had a public meeting last tuesday evening at the clubhouse. 43 people attended, and we had a lively discussion. we heard comments that focused, having me pu -- the puc take complete control. people have been disappointed in the management of lake merced. there is a desire for an additional boat house. a lot of people fishing, boating, different kinds. again, we heard a lot of commons. we have been summarizing those. we are aiming to bring it back to the commission for consideration in september. president vietor: and the issues primarily at the community are what? they would like the puc to maintain control is possible, rather than the split control? >> yes, you raise that it is a range now -- the way that it is arranged now is general resource management, they are managers, some people have been disappointed and have an interest in the pc taking more responsibility,

understanding with the municipal executive association and needs to be corrected because the mta has and mou and that is the appropriate reference. the results clause needs to be amended to read the san francisco bids will transportation board of directors approves a -- approves an agreement for deborah johnson to service a active -- acting executive director -- >> do we have a motion to approve this? do we have a second? all in favor? does anyone in the public want to comment? >> for the record, but was on a motion to amend the agreement. >> we did it as the whole thing. >> you did as the whole question are >> i thought we were doing the whole thing. >> when somebody comes from another town and gets appointed here and we don't know much about the person, we can say okay, fine, we will wait and time will come. debra johnson has been here for work many years. i did not play too much into your meetings, but a couple of times i got a chance and i found her not cable to communicate with the people. -- not capable to communicate with the people. with a flick of the phone, they can come on the lin

>> the true solutions, the short-term solutions, they would be happy to see mta in mou. we will be working on getting that together. with regards to the property lines, the long-term solution is something that we have touched on and are hoping that people will find a long-term solution as part overall renovation project so that we can include the improvement on that station. supervisor wiener: mr. hal, do you have anything to add to that? >> so that we are clear on one point, 19th and church is not an active station. we are not picking up passengers. first of all, we will do two things. we need to do a much better job about policing the right of way in general. not just through application, but through the park and into the limits of that. part of that is that we have had, as you can imagine, for the whole city graffiti is a big problem for us. muni had some success in arresting and prosecuting folks. we have not received much in restitution at this point, but the fact is that we continue to use all the resources, including cameras. i think that the other thing here that
