supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, again, madam chair. and thank you, again, to the individuals who came today. some day we will get a fix at 301 mission street and good luck to the parties in settling that. as i have said repeatedly, i'm actually, if everybody could stop fighting for a minute and do the fix, what portion of it afterward, that's the right thing. because meanwhile you have 400 individuals and families who are kind of living under a cloud. as well as the entire downtown to the extent that building fails to perform. it's a serious problem. so with that, madam chair, thank you for your and president breed's indulgence and i would like to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> we have a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. just a follow-up, i would like to hear a little more about 25 jessie as well, because i have heard about settling issues there, so as we continue to build in this neighborhood, i think it's incredibly important we look at all the tall buildings along with the millennium. we could t

supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, chair kim and supervisor breed. when i first became a member of the board of supervisors in 2001, the western portion of my district was not really well represented by neighborhood organizations. the eastern part, the older part, russian hill, north beach, telegraph hill, all had organizations that went back decades, and a gentleman named john malloy actually started the lower polk neighbors which eventually led to the lower polk community benefit district, and then a woman named dawn and her husband frank strike thatted the middle polk trainers late 2000's, and eventually, that robust organization found its way to suzanne markel-fox. today, to say that they're seeing the culmination of ms. markel-fox's work, but this is just the beginning. [inaudible] >> supervisor peskin: -- we've seen the fruits of your neighbor to the south. mr. christian martin is here from the lower polk cbd, which is acting as the fiscal sponsor for discover polk. i just want to

supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you madam chair. i hope with the committee will see fit to adopt the amendments that i have before you and then i want to afford to the representative from the sfmta the opportunity to address this item in the committee. >> supervisor tang: mr jones? -- miss jones? >> thank you very much. planning director s. at the mta. i am not going to cover all the points that i have, although i am here and some additional individuals here to ancillary -- answer detailed questions about funding. but i did want to add some details around what the funds are for and how they are used and also the overall funding gap that we have around transportation. so the tee 23 task force which is a precursor to the other task force that we have been discussing, that group was convened in 2013 and recognize there are three sources of transportation system improvements needs. the core needs which are basically keeping what we already have in good shape and operating well, the enhanced needs, which are looking at better serving san

supervisor peskin, real quick, did you have a question at this moment? >> supervisor peskin: no. i don't want to interrupt him. i'll hop in in a second. >> supervisor tang: okay. >> i don't mean to debate the point, just offering a slightly different perspective. that being said, i think we all are clear on the pressure that you are under on matters in your jurisdiction, and we certainly want to work with you better so that we can get to better outcomes for everyone, hopefully without delaying the implementation of the work that we need to do to achieve the goals of the city. so we'll speak to the work that we've done in recent months to -- really, in recent years, but more so in recent months to improve the transparency, engagement and responsiveness for our agency. i will be the first to say and accept responsibility for that. i do want to thank you for engaging us in this process. i think we all share the same ultimate goals. i think the idea or the challenge for us collectively is to figure out how to tailor this legislation in a way that gives the board the engagement and vo

>> yes. >> supervisor peskin: that republican sponsored bill. >> 2989. >> supervisor peskin: flora. >> oh. >> supervisor peskin: the one we just talked about. >> give me a second. i'm confusing two different bills. >> supervisor peskin: that was the one to include the scooters on sidewalks. >> i believe it passed handily out of transportation and it's pending in appropriations. >> supervisor peskin: do your magic. thank you. any questions for mr. watts? seeing none, is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. commissioner yee. >> supervisor yee: i'm supporting the opposed position. i'm just curious is mta here? something from mta? >> supervisor peskin: dylan is here. >> supervisor yee: so, is mta taking any position on this? >> through the chair, to the commissioner, i know that we are working -- we are working with the mayor's office and the state legislative committee. we have concerns on the bill as well. and we've also been working directly with chair peskin in his capacity as supervisor: >> supervisor yee: ok. i'm hoping that you'll -- mta wil

supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: i was just going to ask a temporal question which was -- is supervisor borden in her hold-over period -- in other words, would she be able to continue to serve? i'm sorry -- >> president breed: so what i'm going to do, supervisor peskin, you bring up a good issue. because we may need to also figure that out for the previous commissioner and the continuance as well. >> supervisor peskin: i was just informed they expired march 1st, with a 60-day hold-over provision in the charter means they expire today. >> i'm happy to make a motion to rescind item 24 to a later time in this board meeting. >> president breed: supervisor kim made a motion to rescind the motion on the continuance. seconded by supervisor sheehy. without objection that's been unanimously. we will come back to that because we have a 2:30 special accommodation, that will give us time to sort out some of these details to make sure the m.t.a. department and its commission can still continue to function. w

i would like to echo supervisor peskin's comments. i think in general i urge you to support this, at least as proposed here. it's clear to me that the central soma plan could stomach that $5 increase as well. i commend the planning staff on their work on the fiscal feasibility analysis. i think that's really helpful to have those numbers broken down, but that analysis is only as accurate as the data and assumptions that go into it. and seeing analysis based on $74 per square foot price when we saw facebook leasing part towers and that is over $100 square foot, is such a dramatic increase, it shows what incredible demand and profitability there are in the large office towers and we know how much transportation and housing impacts those have. and we need to do a better job of capturing that value. that uncertainty in the cost and the assumptions in these analysis is what drives a lot of the problems we have in coming to an agreement on issues like this fee and inclusionary housing fee and i urge you to get more certainty and transparenc

so, supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: again i apologize for being late. i want to make sure the amendment suggested by the clerk of the board were -- >> supervisor safai: we talked about it. i kind of brushed over them. >> supervisor peskin: i just wanted to make sure the clerk of the board suggested a number of amendments and i want to make sure those have been made by a committee member. >> supervisor safai: i talked about -- i thought those were the ones we talked about. why don't you talk about it. >> supervisor peskin: i believe this all falls in and around the filing fee requirements, which i think initially we wanted to waive entirely. >> supervisor safai: right. >> supervisor peskin: and subsequently it was suggested some language, which is primarily but not solely incorporated on page seven at the top at line one, subsection h, filing fee waiver, which conforms with the planning code provisions. mr. deputy city attorney are you looking at me because you don't know what i'm talking about or because you do? >> i do. in addition to the filing fee am

thank you. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. thank you for all of your, and the other see ac members and their work on this. there is more public process coming and the ta is going to be intimately involved in that an oversight and a collaborative role. as wrong -- ron said this is a hundred year decision and it is important that all of san francisco be involved in it. there will be public meetings. when it will those meetings be, and what is the process, going forward, and what when do you think ultimately, this san francisco county transportation authority will be in a position to make a final decision? >> thank you for the question mr chairman. we have a public meeting on tuesday night at the green room across the street in the veteran building. tuesday at six, i believe. and then we intend to respond to a number of boards and commissions over the following few weeks. planning commission is as early as june and other boards are coming up. we want to make sure, since this is our recommendation at this point, we want to make su

supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: i would only say that central soma has been in the pipeline for a long, long time. so i think it's important for all of us to note that in 2015, when the fiscal feasibility and nexus studies were completed, while central soma was not fully baked and still is not fully baked, it was something that was being contemplated, so i think we should be cognizant of that, as was the child care that. the board passed it. the mayor chose to veto it, and the board was not successful in overriding the mayor's veto. i think anyone who's involved in central soma, 23 million to be released. and colleagues, when we're dealing with central soma, let us be clear of the financial impacts, which are three times the amount of residential development will be felt all over the city. so the nut that i'm trying to crack -- i mean, this is not about trying to make developments infeasible, it's not trying to address the impacts that these developments cause. so in the last item, when we're t

but supervisor peskin. >> so moved. >> ok. i've spoken with supervisor fewer and their office would like a continuance -- sorry. mr. clerk, would you please call item number 3. >> clerk: 3, resolution urging the sheriff's department and department of public health to conduct a baseline assessment of existing food vendors and evaluate vendor alignment with the good food purchasing standards. supervisor fewer would like a continuance to the june meeting. any members of the public who would like to speak on this item? thank you. public comment is closed. motion to continue to june 13th? >> supervisor ronen: so moved. >> supervisor sheehy: motion without agenda, motion passes. please call item number 1. >> clerk: hearing on domestic violence and child abuse with review of the family violence council's findings and recommendations. >> supervisor sheehy: san francisco is the only council with a family violence council, looking at child abuse, domestic violence and elder abuse. only county to publish the family violence data annually

supervisor peskin? peskin, aye. >>> madam clerk, let's go to the next item. >>> an ordnance to amend the movement code. >>> item six appropriates $146 million of proceeds from the general obligation housing bond series 2018 d. for public housing, low income housing and investment in the mission neighborhood and middle income housing in 2017-2018. and item seven appropriates $52.5 million of proceeds for improvements in seismic strengthening for mental health emergency response and safety and homeless shelter and service, placing all funds on controller's reserve pending the outcome of the sale of the bonds. >>> same house, same call. without objection, the items pass unanimously. next item? >>> item eight is a resolution to authorize the tack collector to sell at public auction certain parcels of tax defaulted real property as defined herein. >>> supervisor tang? >>> i know that given previous discussions on this item, i had been communicating with the treasurer and tax collector's office outside of thi

supervisor peskin? >> thank you, madam chair. with all respect to the representative from spur, who i think that were one of the original proponents of proposition a, including the carve out that i proposed that the sky will not fall, that there will be a handful of decisions that are reviewed on an annual basis as i referenced earlier relative to the board bringing conditional uses before it. and hopefully they will be things that positively impact the public realm and transportation, particularly around the ever evolving world of new emerging mobility technology where directors and this board agree that actually having some accountable elected officials make tough decisions in the end, and regardless of who it may or may be, and how that individual may be affiliated with tech billionaires and venture capital companies, this is the people's house. actually, having a bunch of city council members, if you will, who have to hear it every day on the streets of san francisco will be a positive thing. so with all due respect to spur,

>> supervisor peskin: thank you. i think i have the distinction of being the only here back in 2008. he had the pleasure of grilling ben in committee. i want to rise to sing his praises over the last ten years. in large part the financial health of the city and county of san francisco is a direct result of the work that ben does both as the controller, controlling our spending, as well as the policy advice that he gives us and when ben says that we are taking big risks, i listen to him and expect we all listen to him very, very carefully. he is someone who likes to solve not only financial puzzles but policy puzzles. i know we like to think he is the guy who comes up with magic money but there's no such thing as magic money. i appreciate his decency and integrity and pleased you are willing to serve another 10-year term. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: thank you. i just want to say a few words about ben rosenfield, known as the clark kent of san francisco written in an article. i hav
