>> item number one, ordnance uprising municipal transportation authority to exit the end the contract. >> we are asking to extend this for one year silicon complete the park project. there are five major issues -- one is we did not receive funding for it -- until a year later than we expected. we have been having some technical problems. sfpark is a one-of-a-kind project. it originally did not work as we intended to. we originally had many vendors involved in the project which resulted in delays. but the biggest reason is the federal government is looking for an analysis of the project, which we -- if we were not able to provide the data in 24 months, we wouldn't be in violation of the agreement. -- we would be in violation of the agreement. we are in the middle of preparing a full rfp city-wide and we believe the sfpark project is providing new data for the rfp. supervisor elsbernd: any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. can we send us the word as a committee report? that will be the order. we're going to skip ahead on item -- of items 2 and 3 and move to item no.

the we have three of those ordnances before you. there are for five more pending.o each of these three ordnances, i will speak before -- the overall point of the ordinance i would say is twofold. it was to delete obsolete sections, fix redundancies, and clean up the code. and also furthered the widely held principles and policies in the general plan, such as the creation and encouragement of general -- of affordable housing, and sustainable activities like bicycling. and to get those things in line more with these policies. this goes through and lead just -- as the legislative digests expects. one of the things we are removing, to give you an idea, 263.3, which is removing a special height and bulk revisions. the last piece of that dilapidated pier, which is right under the bay bridge, was removed a few years ago and will not be rebuilt. it seems silly to have provisions in the planning code that relate to know logger existent years. -- to no longer existing years. moving onto item three, and please feel free to interrupt me if you have any particular questions --

with that, all three ordnances were forwarded to the full board. supervisor aolague signed on to the bicycle changes, and they were approved by the board on the first reading tuesday. also in committee was the student housing legislation. this proposed own right -- or in its would establish a definition for student housing. it was originally sponsored and put forth by this commission, and has been sponsor bides -- sponsored by supervisor wiener. this commission consider the ordinance in make, and then again in june. i your hearings you supported that exception and additional incentive for the production of new housing, while standing firm you would not support the conversion of existing housing stock. the supervisor in corporate a door many recommendations, and then -- and the land use recommended it to the full board. at the last meeting there was a hearing on the city response to the ada federal law. this was recalled in response to lawsuits that have been brought against owners of small businesses. this was stuffed by the city attorney's office,

to have this policy disagreements and that's very different than what happened with the sunshine ordnance task force. supervisor elsbernd: in response to supervisor kim's comments, with all due respect, if you think district 4, district 7, and district 1, i would strongly encourage you to come to the west side of town. to say that rodney fong is a representative of the west side of town is not correct. sea cliff is not the sunset. it's not lakeshore, lakeside. that comparison reeks of a stereotype that i think should not be in this chamber. you talk about a couple of districts that don't have any representatives, no one from one, no one from four, no one from seven. this really about neighbor a diversity, why would to get rid of him? why not a couple of the other appointees to work coming on to a commission where there is already someone from the district? if that is your real argument, be honest about it. i don't think you are being honest. to the sunshine task force -- i think a supervisor weaner made the point, but if you have a problem with the planning commission decision, what happe

there were two competing ordnances with the one that was ultimately adopted. one was from supervisor elsbernd. they contained a specific anti- clustering parisian -- provision. that was considered and rejected by the board of supervisors. as far as what the policy should be, the policy now, there is no prohibition against clustering. there are areas in the city in which you have a large number of mcd's, which is a function of the green at. the various constraints as far as distances up from schools, community centers, treatment facilities, and the zoning, there are limited places where you cannot cite an mcd. it is not surprising there is clustering. this one was unique or you had applications at the same time rather than having them come in one after another. but there are no mcd's in this neighborhood. the appellate has made it clear he does not want any in district 11 and we do not believe that is appropriate or consistent with city property. as far as clustering, that is something they should pick up and if they want to change the policy that is their prer

having these massive ordnance penetrators.nited states been doing to build up in the persian gulf has there been a marked build-up? >> well, there has been, erin. the thinking is that if israel or the u.s. were to attack iran's nuclear program, pardon me, iran, iran retaliates by shutting down the oil lanes in the strait of hormuz, economic disaster. so the u.s. navy now has two aircraft carrier groups there. when you talk about whether the iranians could challenge those battle groups, sure, you know, they could punch through some defenses. but let's look at the defenses. two aircraft carrier battle groups. aircraft carriers these days are equipped with all of these things you see here, anti-aircraft, anti-missile systems, radar guided guns. systems that can attack anti-ship cruise missiles that the iranians could launch at them. besides the aircraft carriers which have 100 or more combat aircraft. amongst them, there are cruisers and destroyers equipped with advance radars. that can see 360 degrees, submarines perhaps most im

the report does report on our various voter adopted set aside ordnances and other requirements. generally speaking, the fed to baselines have been adopted by the voters are funded by the mayor's proposed budget. the children's baseline is funded above voter mandated levels in both years, approximately 12 million over mandated levels in 12-13, 7 million the year after. the two records that would appear not to be met in the budget before you are police staffing and substance abuse treatment on demand. policemen and staffing requires 190071 full duty officers in the city, given the hiring plans that are contained in the budget. we see progress toward that goal in both years but we anticipate remaining well short of that mandate in both years of the budget. approximately $200 million below the prop d staffing levels in the first year, 175 in the second year. there is no allowance in proposition c, which was adopted later, for adjustments to be 1971, in cases where the mayor of civilianize his positions. we're looking at opportunities for that this wednesday when we have the police d
