. >> mr. yee? >> yes. >> ms. mendoza? >> yes. >> we are now with the new amended, amended resolution. ok. so now we are open for broad discussion on the amended amended. commissioner maufas did you want to start your -- all right. stay with us. we're almost there. so thank you, president mendoza. my comments are really for the superintendent. superintendent, i think a few years ago when this discussion was really at its height in san francisco politics, you had made a promise to us that you would stay out of this conversation. so i don't know why i'm looking at a superintendent's proposal. i mean, i think -- no, you've told me. but i -- i -- i think any of the board members would have brought this forward. and if it didn't come forward then the action that the board had taken would have taken effect. so again, i think board members here are savvy enough to write an amendment to an extended resolution. we've done it before. we'll do it many more times in the future. but if you promise to stay out of this political conversa

wynns, mr. yee and ms. . commissioner mendoza: mendoza please join me for the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] commissioner mendoza: come on, you guys. thank you. item a is the approval of board meetings. we have no adoptions tonight. item b is a presentation to the board of education by superintendent garcia. superintendent garcia: i wanted to let the board know that so far it looks like we have about 5500 young folks participating in summer school this summer and there's 45 schools offering summer school and a lot of credit goes out to community-based organizations with the deputy department of children, youth and their families, a partner with a lot of different folks to provide services. in the superintendent's zone alone, there's about 1500 kids served in summer school so it's great to see that the city and all our partners have come together and support in doing this because otherwise it would be very difficult for us to provide that due to the budget problems the state has. later tonight, our deputy superintendent will go through our proposed budget for next year

i want to second some of the concerns that mr. yee stated about the grid. you have to use market street because of the way one-way streets are set up to get to a street you need to go south of market or north of market. i think that has to be addressed, because it also affects taxis, with a passenger in the vehicle and the meter running and you have heavy traffic. i have had passengers get out of the tab without paying because they see all of that -- cab without paying because they see all of that traffic. what can you do? you cannot run after them. you cannot get out of the car and chased them or call the police. they have disappeared. there is frustration in that issue. also, there are businesses along the street that will need private vehicles to drop off passengers who have a lot of supplies. there are strip clubs. there are some hotels. there has to be concerned. you have to make sure you out reach to those businesses. if you hurt those commercial establishments from doing what they need to do, because they provide tax money to the city as well as a se

. >> mr. yee? >> aye. >> ms. mendoza? are >> yes. >> thank you everyone for joining us this evening. we do not want to see this back. so if you could -- we still have a board meeting going on and we still have quite a bit of the agenda to follow so if you could please exit quietly so that we can continue. ms. medina, so public comment should have happened some time back. i'd like to go back to public comment or should we -- what do we need to do in order to because we're past the time for public comments to have happened. >> under your board rules you do have the ability to move items out of order. >> ok. ok. so we actually -- general manager are up now. item nine is the board members proposal and there's none tonight. i have quite a few speakers i'm going to invite to the podium. so eileen chen. monique -- i'm sorry. i already have her. sandra sandoval. jose esetera. robert clothier, shadeck, maria flow rezz, -- flores, alejandra vieda. jacqueline reyes, theresa mcgwire and haste use. -- jesus. if you would please, to th

mr. yee? commissioner yee: they used an example about what would happen if there was a feeder system versus what happened in 2010. it was nice to see, the issue of diversity. it would have been addressed adequately with this feeder system, so thank you, staff, for that. this is just a simple question. in counting up the slot for middle school, do we do this lot better in the k-8 schools? -- do we do this lot better in those? -- the slots? >> it is a significant number, and we took that into account when we looking at the middle school capacity compared to the involvement projections. commissioner yee: so the numbers are in here? >> yes, they do reflect the 1300's k-8. commissioner yee: if a family did not want to go to the feeder school, do they have a choice, an option to go to another school? there is still a possibility? >> yes, it is still a choice system, and there is a tie- breaker for the middle school feeder, and then starting in 2017, it would become an offer. kind of light -- like th

wynns, mr. yee, ms. mendoza. seven aye's. commissioner mendoza: thank you, welcome to the p.a.c. i've always wanted to say that, "welcome to the p.a.c." our next item -- but it wasn't that p.a.c. our next item is public comment on consent items and i have one speaker card. ms. plak. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen, i'm linda plak, executive vice president of the united educateors san francisco. tonight i'm speaking to you on behalf of united educators. tonight you have a retainer for cbre, a real estate company. over the past couple of years, we have gotten to know cbre representatives very well. the backup for this item is that you have -- you tell us that this retainer is not all you're going to pay them and that you need to hire them because you no longer have a real estate department. presumably, you do not have a real estate department because of the cost involved in maintaining a full-time employee who has limited work to do for the district. why, then, hire a consultant who is going to cost you the lion's share of one salary that you would have paid for a real estate

mr. e lmendorf, ms. leblanc. anna yee, i can testify to her genuine care of the city. mr. baraka, mr. mcdonnell. we have this debate with other commissions. when people show up, what do we do? -- when people don't show up, what do we do? with that, i will go ahead and say, to start the discussion, i would like to throw my support behind mr. baraka, [unintelligible] i think that is important as well. i would move those three forward. supervisor kim: thank you. supervisor elsbernd: well, i can see we're going to have a bit of a discussion. just the three i would put forward are not any of those three. [laughter] the three that i thought stood out -- i like the combination of these three -- mr. elmendorf, mr. mcdonnell, and i it likes the greens of -- and i liked the range of practical experience. professor elmendorf is no political affiliation to the city whatsoever. >> supervisor, there is an overflow room. that room is available. supervisor kim: thank you. >> [unintelligible] supervisor elsbernd: mr. mcdonnell, the demonstrated commitment to the city through his resonate, and his work

mr. president, a point of clarification generally. do commissioners asked their questions of the presenting supervisor or any of the panel? president o'brien: before we go to public comment. thank you for that. i apologize. commissioner yee riley: you mentioned that your department determines whether employers should be on the healthy san francisco. how'd you decide that? >> employers fill out a form. we ask the employer for the address of the employee, the name of the employee, telephone number, their date of birth, and if that employer has health insurance. we ask that information because help the san francisco -- healthy san francisco is designed for individuals who are uninsured, who lived in san francisco, and who are between 18 and 64. there are many individuals who work in san francisco who do not live in san francisco. many of those employers would not be eligible. in addition, because healthy san francisco is for individuals who are not insured, there are employers who use it to make supplemental expenditures above and beyond what they may choose for their employees. that individual would be ineligible for healthy san francisco. they would get an mra. finally, because it is for individuals between 18 and 64, if
