mr. campos? >> thank you, mr. chairman. i will be supportive of that motion. i do want to acknowledge theal bear -- caliber of any applicant. i know anyone of these applicants would do a tremendous job on this body. the way this process works, even if you are not appointed right away it's important to be in the cue because there are vacancies for a lot of reasons and it's important that people remain engaged and i want to say thank you to all the people who have expressed an interest. i think that the caliber that you see is the kind of caliber that we need to really move the agency forward and sort of outside of the box thinking. even if you don't get appointed right away, i would ask you to be patient because this process will eventually allow you to be involved. so thank you very much. >> i did want to just thank erin goldsmith and other past ca members for their work. i think eric is going to bring not only a sunset perspective but regional perspective to this work with development without displacement. i think there is really good knowledge and especially

supervisor campos. >> thank you. thank you, mr. president. i want to thank the sheriff's department for all the information and i do want to associate myself with the comments from both supervisor breed and supervisor kim. i think, i think there is something fundamentally wrong with overcharging inmates. the question, though, for me is given that this contract is currently in place, i would imagine that we have an obligation to meet those obligations up to now. and, so, in that sense i can see why supporting an extension of the existing contract may seem -- may be appropriate. but i think that i would be inclined to support the idea of simply -- of not providing the additional extension so that between now and the time that this contract term ends, which is may, there is an opportunity to reexamine the issue and see if there is a different way of providing the service in a reasonably priced [inaudible]. >> so, i will assume at this point there are no amendments to this contract amendment? >> yes, i'd like to make an amendment that we -- so, t

campos? >> thank you. mr. president, i want to thank again the mta and my colleagues for the work that's been done on this item. i agree with what supervisor kim was saying in terms of the limitations of what this resolution has in terms of the board of supervisors' ability to impact how parking meters are placed by the mta and i think that supervisor kim raises some very important points. that said, where i have a different take is that i do believe that within the confines of the current legal governance structure of the mta vis-a-vis the board of supervisors that this resolution goes as far as we can go and i think that to the extent that there are additional things that are needed including ways in which we can have more of a community process, i think that that actually requires changes to the existing law and how the mta's actually governed and i don't know if we can do that by way of a resolution, in fact, we know we can't, and so i will be supporting this contract because i do think that given the lega

mr. givner, and that's seconded by supervisor campos. one question to supervisor avalos. i know he you submitted to us for the temporary evictions point both amendments to the residential dnc and nonconforming uses. i heard mr. givner read the nonconforming uses piece, but is the language you have or residential dnc, is that also -- [speaker not understood]. >> if i may, the document that was circulated, the language doesn't quite match up. so, i believe the amendment to adopt the changes that i have suggested parallel language in both ordinances. >> that's what i want to make clear. >> so that the nonconforming language, the very bottom of that section, will be the language that will be incorporated into the residential dnc section of that piece of legislation. thank you. >> okay. questions about the amendment. supervisor yee. okay, colleagues, can we take the amendments -- >> mr. president, i didn't catch the second. there was a motion made by -- >> by supervisor campos. so, colleagues, can we take the amendment to amend without objection? without objection, that shall b

. >> thank you, supervisor campos. mr. president. >> thank you, colleagues. i have three items for today. first of all, an in memoriam for rhonda bizan. rhonda was a san francisco resident who passed away tragically and very suddenly a week ago today. she worked at the punch cup, was a regular attendee of the sabot agnes catholic church and was the life partner of guardian editor stephen t. jones. rhonda died at the all too young age of 45. ~ she touched many people from many walks of life during her many years in san francisco. she is described by all as a luminous joyful spirit and loving friend. she radiated life brilliantly and her sudden passing has left many of in her community including steve jones as well as my aid catherine and many others in this city deeply mourning her untimely loss. a memorial gathering will be held at 1:00 p.m. on december 15th at the bently reserve preceded by service and reception at saint agnes beginning with the regular 10:30 a.m. mass ~ and the funeral will be on december 21st in los angeles. today i am joining the mayor, a

campos? >> thank you, mr. president. i had a quick question, but before i ask that question, i want to thank director ris k*en and his staff and my colleagues and in particular, supervisor avalos and his staff for the very i think balanced approach that they have taken. i think the changes make this item a better item, but i do have a question through the chair to our city attorney. in terms of the language around the additional 5 thousand single spaced meters, i'm wondering if the attorney can talk about how finding that language actually is on the mta. >> sure. deputy city attorney john gibner. the board is approving a contract that authorizes the mta to purchase the 5 thousand additional meters, so in that sense, that piece is binding mta may purchase 5 thousand for optional meters. supervisor avalos' amendment includes an additional whereas clause that talks about the allocation of those meters, that is not binding on the mta, the mta has exclusive authority to determine how to allocate the meters, but the resolution
