we are here because we believe that our sanctuary ordnance is ultimately about protecting not only therights of immigrants but actually keeping san francisco safe. we believe that that ordnance enhances public safety and it's important that the people of the city and county of san francisco hear directly from our elected leadership. i would end with this before i turn it over to mayor ferrell, that in some respects the damage has already been made and the damage is that this effort increases the fear and anxiety within the immigrant community that are already terrified of having any interaction with government, local government included. in that sense it is so important for those immigrants to hear directly from our elected family. with that i'd like to introduce the mayor of the city and county of san francisco, mayor mark ferrell. >> thank you, david. i want to thank everyone for being here this afternoon. first of all i want to say that i'm proud to be here, to stand with everyone beside me and everyone who is behind me to stand with the residents of the city of san francisco. what

who introduced that ordnance? >>> supervisor kim. >>> supervisor kim did. >>> jointly with mayor lee. >>> okay. and tell me, where does this other $7il come from? >>> $2.8 million is coming from the housing trust fund. >>> what? >>> that increases every year by $2.8 million. it's in the charter. it increases every year by $2.8 million until it reaches about $50 million total, i think. and then it is indexed to cpi. >>> so you're only down $2.8 million from the housing trust fund. it wasn't necessarily a spirit that we brought to voters so that the mayor's office can have their own little pot of money to play with. how do you plan to allocate that $2.8 million. where is it going? >>> the increase in the housing trust fund will pay for cost of doing business increases to cbo grants that are funded by the housing trust fund. they will also fund additional investment in new housing developments. so our multi-family housing development work. and it will continue to find the development of the dahlia online housing port

the storm water ordnance on private property, they're responsible for maintaining it. so we just inspect and make sure that they're actually doing what their permit allows them to do. we're realizing that the green infrastructure is growing and we wanted crews, so i put a crew in the budget. and then the other issue that we're finding is the maintenance. the maintenance is different. now we have a lot of green infrastructure and dpw saying they're collecting trash. instead of being all in the streets, it goes right to that green infrastructure. and i mentioned to the director of public works, he should pay us. now it's just in one spot versus all over the street. but he's not buying that. [laughter] >>> and so we're trying to work out an agreement to maintain our infrastructure when dpw goes out there. so we're trying to work on that agreement. it doesn't really make sense for us to have crews when their crews are just going right up and down the street. we're trying to work that out with public works. >>> so you answered my questions. thanks for that. i think what i'd

the housing balance ordnance also requires that three major projects that have been entitled but do not yet have building permits not be included in the projected housing balance. that is until phasing of these projects move to applying for and receiving building permits. all together, remaining phases of these projects will provide about 22,000 net new units of which 22% will be affordable. also not included in projected housing balance are checks you aren't -- currently under revie >>> the mayor's office of housing and community development, the mayor's office of economic and work force development, the rent stabilization board, the department of building inspection and the city economist will each present strategies for achieving and maintaining a housing balance consistent with the city's affordable housing goal at this annual meeting before the board. should the cumulative balance fall below 33%, they will determine the amount of funding needed to bring the city into the required nimum. the planning department has created and maintained a website specifically for the housing balanc

created and maintained a website specifically for the housing balance report as required by the ordnance. this current report can be downloaded from the site. that is all for now. i'll be here for questions the commissioners may have. >>> thank you. any public comment on this item? >>> sorry. i've been working on this issue for forever. and i think it's time to look again at the housing fees the city's imposing. the first housing fee was impo impos imposed and it applied to office development with assumptions on the work force. and providing housing for the work force. as i said in my earlier comments, the demand for housing is changing as the use of space is changing. one of the things that i think is needed beyond the feedback on the transit center is are your formulas working today on the housing requirements posed on office developers.

the ordnance was adopted by the board of supervisors allowing a business to relocate. it took considerable resources for a very large and very expensive cigar store to relocate from one location to another. but the circumstances are very different for save mor. the community being served by save mor is a very different community. the economic resources are not available to this. just to throw this up on the screen for the benefit of the conversation, you can see that this was approved unanimously at every reading at the board of supervisors. and the ordnance specifically states that it was intended to exempt the humidor from four prohibitions. you've heard enough exceptional material about this store that would not make it a precedent for this board to act. i understand that you heard from another person seeking a tobacco license that was frustrated by 19h. you heard from a man during public comment. his circumstances were very different. the circumstances of the save mor market are becoming despera desperate. i asked an accountant to give me information about their gr

the ordnance requires this notification to be posted at the actual site. finally, notice was not timely. when the department of public health came out in january at our request and not before, as referenced in the materials given by verizon, we were told that notice should have been given when the process was initiated in august. we should be entitled to rely on the department of public health's considerations. there are two separate documents to review here, both provided by verizon. the first is a document that allows verizon to ignore any considerations. please note that the address and cell phone tower to which this waiver sits along is empty. it is not clear to the naked eye or even to the iphone zoomed camera who this person is, what they did or how they determined that these two boxes should be checked. what is clear is that if the person who signed the waiver relied only on the photograph taken by verizon, they would be sorely misled. the photo deliberately seems to obscure the fact that there are three victorians in a row directly behind the propo

subject matters of u -- of items 51 and 52, amendment for the redevelopment project area and an ordnance approving and adopting an amendment for the project area to affirm the determination and make the proper findings for both ordnances. >> colleagues, we are sitting at a committee as a whole to discuss amendments to the hunters point shipyard and the bay view hunters point redevelopment plans. let's open this hearing. supervi supervisor cohn. >> thank you everyone for agreeing to hear these items. today's meetings is a long time in the making. the original hunters point redevelopment shipyard plan was approved 21 years ago in 1997. at that time the success of negotiating the stakeholders to secure a commitment from the developer of providing 32% affordable housing was unprecedented. this development set the gold standard for what was possible in affebl housing negotiations and i applaud the forward thinking inclusionary housing numbers along with the advanced community benefits that came with them. the success is coupled with a promise of a boost to the local economy through hundreds o

does the san francisco sign ordnance apply to us? my lawyer is about to answer me. >> the tjpa as an independent public entity authorized by state law with the design management and operation of the transit center is not bound to comply with the land use regulations of the city and county of san francisco and then the less the tjpa is coordinated with the city all along to make sure that the city determines that our sign age effort was consistent with the city's vision for signage. >> just checking. >> thank you, daniel. i'm anthony, the chief revenue officer of pearl media. i'm going to talk about generating revenue and some activity. you will see in our portfolio about how we do, how we create inclusive activity that's free to the public and brand supported. the foundation of the revenue generated at the center is steep in this digital media platform that daniel just spoke about. we are going to generate ads through a variety of formats as big as the grand hall display board down to all the kiosks and pylons. this is a great exampl

in april of 2016 then supervisor david compos introduced an appropriation ordnance for $343,5 $343,559. $37,109 to fund a legacy business program and for the remainder of the fiscal year 2015/16. it was determined that oawd has enough funds to fund the position and this was struck from the appropriation request and the remaining $306,250 was put on the budget and finance committee reserve. at that time the mayor's budget office, supervisor compos then agreed to allocate $2.5 million in general funds to the legacy business program for fiscal year 16-17 and 17- 18. this is $1.25 million for each year and a million to be allocated for the historic preservation grant. the historpanic historic prese. we agreed the budget analyst recommendation to cut the general fund by $750,000. there's a program with the $306,250 in reserve. $585,440 in the carry forward fund, not spent from fiscal year '16, '17. operations for prezzer er -- preservation grants to build an interactive search function that will help in the marketing in the registry and the businesses listed in the registry. there's the res

we got suspicious and we filed a sunshine ordnance request and we found a whole paper trail of sfpuc staff and lobbyists in dc working on these letters. feinstein sent another letter to the department of commerce last friday. does staff know about that, of course they do. i think you need to sit down with staff and have a real heart to heart. we came and we discussed the rider three weeks ago. and we asked sfpuc to put an issue on the agenda. and we wanted them to oppose it. have a real dialogue about it and discussion. you're representing the environment on this commio you need to really push hard. ask staff, what did they know and when did they know it. get to the bottom of it. we want to support you when you do the right thing. but we don't have faith in what staff has been doing in dc. taking full advantage of the trump administration to try to kill environmental improvements on the tuolumne. and really, decisions need to be made based on the best available science. we're willing to sit down, discuss that with you, try to come up with ideas that can save money. there's a lot of t

i worked on the equal access to ordnance service here. it lost by 36 votes but supervisor mark leno was able to pick that up. i conducted the public hearings on that and i worked with the city attorney's office on language and together we built something that is an important function for the entire city. i believe in a we and us versus them kind of mentality. so if everyone at the table we can look at statistics, data collection metrics and reports and that leads to accountability. the key issues identified in the 2016d.o.j. report talks about use of force, bias, community collaborative policing, accountability and recruitment. we can't have accountability if we don't have metrics and statistics. much of the report also talked about incomplete reports or inadequate reports and they even mentioned templates. if you listen to many of the audio tapes from the commission on the status of women, i have talked about templates, stand d standardizing recording and making it easier so we have numbers and accurate data. i do come from my previous b

why do we limit that to explosive ordnance disposal experts? will you revisit the accredited investor definition, and index those numbers? either they were wrong when the sec issued them, or they are wrong now. lot.ere is a you on thee with concept of an accredited investor definition. we should not just let people charge into the minefield, as you characterize it, without ascertaining to some extent whether they are capable of handling the private investment arena. i completely agree with that. we have chosen the accredited investor definition as that function. >> this does not mean they cannot make the investment. it just means they need to get advice. all those rich people who make these investments are getting advice and putting in effort. >> we could have a longer discussion about this, but -- >> i want to sneak in one more question. we had the meltdown in 2008 because the bond rating agencies gave aaa's all day. they gave ratings too bad bonds. we put into. frank the frank and sherman amendment that would eliminate the system where the is
