>> mr. chair and commissioner or supervisor olague, besides the points that we specifically [speaker not understood], one has to be the need to address it. this is our reality. san francisco is an amazing city. i've only been in the bay area three years, san francisco for a year. i love it here. i talk about it at home regular. but with that being said, we can't act like these students over here, the black and brown students are dirty laundry and we're not going to address their needs. we can't act like we're successful over here and amazing to the nation, but we're not going to come up with innovative ways to address what's happening here. so, immediately we do need credit recovery. we need options for these students who are one class plus or more off track to graduate. that includes other options besides online because even with the online options, our young people have said, yeah, we can finish t but i'm not learning anything. and we really don't even have accurate data of what is the completio

mr. chair, if i may ask supervisor wiener just a couple of questions and just really claire fying questions about the dashboard. i'm curious if you could articulate to me that you said that the dashboard only gives one piece of the puzzle. and i'm wondering if you could give suggestions as to what pieces or what is missing or in what areas that this dashboard in this item that we're discussing is lacking? >> sure. as i discussed earlier there were a few areas and just by way of example. it doesn't talk about 120-150%. it doesn't talk about size of units. it doesn't talk about changes to density. it doesn't talk about whether it's in-law units? you know, in terms of how the housing affordability and the crisis that we're facing, it's such a multi-faceted problem. that as i said before, unless we have some huge massive influx of federal dollars so we can just build enormous amounts of below market rate housing, public investment is not going to get us out the hole we're in. it's one piece of the

mr. chairman. so i am a supporter of public investment in affordable housing. i was active in the formulation of prop c, the housing trust fund before we put it on the ballot and have been an allege advocate for that ballot measure and, in fact as some affordable housing developers will tell you, i sometimes pester them to build more affordable housing in the market area. he have been supportive of the projects that have come before this boor, for example for transition-aged youth. so i am a strong supporter of that and that is part of the solution for our affordability crisis. but it is one piece of the puzzle. it is not the entire puzzle. the market does matter when it comes to housing. you know, supervisor olague referred to supply and demand before and econ 101. and supply and demand does matter with housing. and the fact that is that we haven't produced much housing in the city. we have quite a bit in the pipeline coming up, but in terms of actually producing market-rate housing, we have n

. >> mr. chair, the original legislation i believe is being continued and the divided legislation is being recommended. >> so let's rescind -- we didn't vote on the first item, so is there any objection to continuing the first item to the call of the chair? i don't see where -- to the call of the chair. is there any objection to continuing it? seeing none. now a vote on the split item that's before us. can we move that forward without objection, colleagues? thank you. . >> thank you, colleagues, thank you, mr. chair. >> you're welcome, mr. campos. >> miss miller, item 3. >> item 3 is an item amending the san francisco administrative code by adding section 1.60 to require the mayor's office of housing and the planning department to report to the board of supervisors. >> our president, mr. chiu. >> that has been trailing the trust fund amendment that we have placed on the november ballot. there were a number of policy that is we wanted to legislate in the wake of that particular charter amendment and

>> mr. chair and supervisor olague, coleman youth are open and willing to participate in that. >> thank you. >> thank you. supervisor cohen. >> okay. i'm sorry, i didn't catch your name again. >> niva walker. >> niva, that's right. you talked about credit recovery. i'm under the impression that we had a summer program, certainly last summer on credit recovery. do we have one this summer as well? >> yes, we did. >> we did. how would you evaluate that program? >> we are waiting for the district to release the data on the completion of rate for the students. we have not been able to get that yet. so, that's something we have to follow-up on. >> have you had a chance [speaker not understood] also new to the committee, have you had a chance to look at the data from last summer? >> yes and yes. and i can't tell you that. right now i have to -- what is your specific question? >> it's not necessarily a question. gist it's more of a stamp. to the best of my knowledge, i see [speaker not understood] in the

thank you very much, mr. chair. >> thank you, supervisor. supervisor campos? >> thank you very much, mr. president and i will be just very brief. i want to thank the mta for their presentation and the work they have done around this matter. i also want to say that i thank supervisor cohen for her questions. she rightly raised a couple of issues that i hadn't thought about, which are important. the impact that this kind of operation could have on the surrounding neighborhoods, even though it's technically in daly city. and i appreciate that there was an environmental review. the thing about it though is at least as presented the focus seemed to be on what happens in daly city, and the more i think about it, i think it would have been helpful to maybe do outreach in some of the surrounding neighbors that are actually in san francisco. whether it's vernal heights and other parts around bayshore boulevard area. so i think that raises another set of concerns that i hadn't really thought about. let me say that i want to thank the chair of the budget committee for the

so >> so, mr. chair and coleman to that point, not all a through g courses are offered during the summer. there is a problem with that. if you are not keeping track of what classes are offered in the summer program and what classes students need to make sure they get access to those classes, there is a [speaker not understood]. >> you heard both presentations, one from the san francisco unified school district and the other one from dcyf. could you give me your gut reaction or some -- if you can -- or you can give me some kind of -- some thoughts that you were thinking as you were listening to some of the data you presented today. >> yes, mr. chair, and supervisor cohen. there is actually data the school district provided is promising the children for tomorrow, right. we're dealing with a crisis of high school students today and the issue is they did not present any recommendations on how to resolve the issues that are facing us today. and, so, when we get to figuring out how we can get the school distri

mr. chair, could you -- >> okay. supervisor olague. >> well, i guess really -- i guess we really should jump over to coleman. but i have a very quick question. the work force issue, i know this past summer we had that summer jobs program that i think we had about four or 5,000 jobs. >> correct. >> that were provide today youth. the feedback i was hearing was that not all the young people from disadvantaged backgrounds, probably some of the folks we're talking about today that are in that percentage, were necessarily had the qualifications to obtain some of those jobs or succeed once they were placed. so, i just want us to -- at some point i guess i would like to have a better understanding of, you know, whether the match was there, you know, but yeah. >> sure, it's a very complicated circumstance. i think to quickly highlight within the 4 or 5,000 job opportunities, there is a range of opportunities. from entry level internship all the way to private sector placement. of course within that spectrum it has different l

. >> thank you, mr. chair. i was going to make a similar point and certainly in the context of november 6th and we don't know what is going to happen at the state level and what is going to happen with funding, but we're all the wayed with baited breath to see what would happen in the beginning of november and to ask if school district officials can help us think through. we need to think on the city and what we can do to be the type of partner that the city and county ought to be with vis-a-vis the san francisco unified school district. so i'm very interested in this conversation as well. i want to make a moment and thank all of you for being part of this conversation, particularly the young folks who are here. because your voices, a-g for a lot of folks, people can intellectualize it, but it is helpful to hear how it impacts the lives of students and your future. so thank you for being here. x thank you very much. and again, i think it's important for us to continue this conversation. i don't know that we hav

supervisor -- >> mr. chairshould mention there is a third amendment and conforming changes in the planning code to ensure these apply to housing projects of ten units or more. >> thank you. so we heard the amendments. could we take the amendments without objection? thank you. on this item can we approve this without objection? thank you. thank you everyone. mis miller, are there any other items before us? >> no mr. chair there are no other items. >> thank you everyone. meeting adjourned. >> hello, my name is jamie harper. in this episode, we are featuring the park locations in your very own backyard. this is your chance to find your heart in san francisco with someone special. golden gate park's largest body of water is this lake, a popular spot for strolling and paddling around in boats, which can be rented. created in 1893, it was designed foreboding and -- for boating. it is named for the wild strawberries that once flores. a pleasant trail follows the perimeter past huntington falls, 110 foot waterfall. two

>> yes. >> mr. chair, supervisors, i'm excited about . this there was an iconic bar on powell street that went through quite a traumatic episode and had to move down to the war f in the last year. much to the chagrin of the locals and san francisco. this we hope will be a replacement. this is now an off-sale liquor store. i did pass out a photograph of what mr. sirhed's place looks like now. it is a building in a totally commercial area about a block from union square. two-storey building. he's owned it first as a gallery. later as off-sale wine, liquor. on-sale -- retail wine tasting and wine sales inside on the second floor. these licenses would replace that license. i think it would have less impact on sale. alcohol has a less impact on the public than off-sale does. this license will be sold out of the area. we've looked at the conditions. we are fine with the conditions. with one proviso. mr. sirhed is concerned that -- he is going to be getting a lot of local tourists out of the hotels. they may be on different time zones, they may

thank you very much, mr. chair. >> supervisor elsbernd? >> thank you, mr. president. i just want to take this opportunity just a message to the civil grand jury. typically this time of year when we are approving our resolution and our motions and get up and thank them for their work. this time actually i'm going to take the opposite tact. i think the civil grand jury needs to caution itself. this is the first report i have seen where they have started analyzing private business practices. i think the civil grand jury should be about auditing city government. they are now geting into private business. i have some concerns about that, particularly when it's volunteers who frankly are not private business owners and don't necessarily know it. and these concerns really started to grow beyond just getting into private business affairs. the civil grand jury exercising legal analyses and providing legal opinion, which was the biggest concern that i had with their report last year on park merced. all of a sudden you have a report that has the stamp of the superior court and n

mr. chair, i think at this time we could probably close this hearing and i do have a couple of concludes comments. thank you. public comment is closed. >> so as far as concluding comments first of all i want to address the last public speaker on what the enforcement would entail. i think it's important to note three things that this legislation does this that regard. first of all it clarifies that the practice of allowing corporations to use residential leasess away to skirt and create a loophole from our hotelization laws we're closing that today with this piece of legislation. secondly, we are clarifying and really strengthening the enforcement process by the city and in particular, by the department of building inspection and rose marie's apartment to conduct an administrative review hearing where her staff can accept evidence of wrongdoing on the part of corporations that are engaged in this practice. thirdly, if it turns out that there is an administrative hearing and regardless of what db

thank you, mr. chair. >> thank you, supervisor. president chu? >> thank you, mr. chair, and i want to thank supervisor compos for those opening remarks, i have just a couple of additional points that i would like to make. first of all, i want to thank the members of the community that brought this issue of this loophole to this board and i think it raised some important issues that we spent a lot of time tackling last year. the two main issues from my perspective that we needed to address were how we improve employee access to health care and how do we ensure that consumers aren't deceived through misleading surcharges by businesses such as restaurants as alluded to by supervisor compos, after the debate we have and after mayor lee's veto of the initial legislation, i work witched supervisor cohen and our colleagues as well as many members of the community to move forward a series of amendments that i do think addresses this loophole and let me summarize them briefly, first of all, with regards to improving health access by improving benefit utilization rates, we p

. >> thank you mr. chair. i wanted to make a couple of introductory comments and thank you for taking part in this hearing and in particular i want to thank the civil grand jury report for looking at this topic. i decided to bring with me today these folders. these folders represent all of the documents i have been looking at in the last couple of years on this specific topic and in particular let me just title a couple of the reports i have on this. from 2002 from the former executive director from dits, which is the predecessor agency to the department of technology and proposal for management and resources. then go a couple years later the civil grand jury report looked at our technology with hospital "pot holes or possibilities" and a year later the city controller had a letter and said they needed to improve service and performance measures. after that our city analyst did a management audit into their practices and two years later a another analyst looking into the city's purchasing process and many page

. >> mr. chair, i have a few comments on what you said. on the two projects that you tried to give a little spin so that our representatives in congress as you say, have delivered this huge sums of money. but let me remind everybody that it's taxpayers money. let me talk about the central subway. all of y'all should know that phase one of that was the third street light rail where we expanded over 700 million. that has to be tweaked. as much as we have people talking about rosy terms, that system really doesn't work. so now we have phase two, which is 1.5 miles and expanding over a billion dollars. to be expect, over $1.6 billion. if you folks think that's something honorable, then i think we need a line item on this project. and y'all will be held accountable in the seniors, the physically challenged in this sub-- central subway project have to walk for long distances. i watched nancy pelosi used to stand for the buses. here they come, here they go. if she wants to say what's over ground and not working is going to go under ground and goi

. >> good morning, mr. chair, community members, principle planner for the authority. so in february of this year, february of 2012, the authority board allocated just over $160,000 in prop k funds to the mta to do a comprehensive revision of their traffic calming program. this included revising objectives to the program and making corresponding revisions to their methodologies to their evaluating projects that actually receive the treatments. just a little bit of context, there's 3 main tracks in the traffic calming program. what you are going to see a presentation on is a revision of the local neighborhood track, which is the bulk of the traffic calming program. here to get your input is an information item on that track, they will be back in december-january with a full comprehensive amendment to the schools and arterial portion, then the board will approve the changes to the program or consider the changes to the program through a comprehensive amendment to the 5 year prioritization program and that should also be coming in the january program. this is kind of the

. >> there are no more items, mr. chair. >> then with that, we are adjourned.

>> good afternoon, mr. chair, members of the board. bon yee with sustainable street. s proposal is far from the way mr. toronto portrays. basically whatdt4nç happened was you know, we approved bicycle lane project on cesar chavezuegn about six months ago, and it's been implemented as part of that change, you can see -- you can see part of the parking being removed to accommodate the bike lane. so we look for ways to work with the businesses to make sure that there's enough turnover parking for the businesses during the day and at the same time we know that the yellow cab key op is on missouri street, which is the next street over. and they have a big shift change toward the end of the day. so what we're proposing to do, working with the businesses, is to have a four hour limit, is to have some turnover during the day and have a one hour limit here but this particular restriction only goes to 2 pm. so that will guarantee rigorous turnover during the day and then when the cab drivers come for the shift there had been spaces available for them when they come for the new

perhaps the chair thought that he would be reading mr. shaws letter and analyzing it some time during the meeting. from what i know, i doubt it. my sense of him is that he's attempting to be thorough and fair so i'm very disappointed that this couldn't have been announced at the very beginning of the meeting. thank you. speaker: can i get public comment on my own item, two minutes of your time? speaker: i would like to apologize to you on behalf of mr. weener. you were dragged down here and thrown into over time when it could have been avoided. now potentially the city controller may have misled you on flex time since she is not being paid time and a half for whatever her hourly salary is whether that's fifty dollars an hour or eighty dollars an hour. soup vicar weener was quite per /terbed that cities employees time was waited in front of the sunshine task force when respondents wouldn't show up. where is san jose city attorney? how does that work? speaker: she was going to appear by phone. maybe that's who was trying to call. speaker: y
