thank you. >> chairman peskin: thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you, chairman peskin and commissioners. i'm david sung, an architect, we're a small san francisco design architectural firm. in the interest of full disclosure and transparency, we are part of the d.t.x. design team and -- but the reason i'm speaking up is not so much that we're part of this team, but i'm speaking up as a citizen and as a daily commuter on caltrain, and i've seen plans for the d.t.x. extension, setting aside my personal involvement that, you know, this extension is critical infrastructure transit project that we all know is needed here in san francisco and in the region, and that you all discussed earlier today, you know, about the congestion that's, you know, part of the problem of this area. and i think this project will go a long way to alleviate that, and it's my opinion that, you know, the merits and the goals that you're trying to achieve in this resolution can be achieved, you know, without the draconian pressure of actually suspe

[roll call] >>clerk: we have quorum. >> chair peskin: great. let me just briefly give the chair's report. as you all know, we overwhelming in the state of california and in san francisco in particular opposed proposition 6, which was the short-sighted repeal of the state gas tax on the -- at the election earlier this month. and at a time when the trump administration is rolling back environmental protections, i am proud and delighted that the majority of californiians understand the need to mitigate fossil fuel emissions with robust public transportation alternatives to fossil fuel details. our state gas tax provides over $5 billion a year for critical funding. san franciscans oppose proposition 6 by an overwhelming 86%. this protects over $60 million in formula funds for road repair and transit service here in the city and county of san francisco and it also continues other essential problems for congestion relief, active projects and infrastructure payments. thank you for passing our local proposition a by 82%. as the recent tragic fires in b

thank you. >> chairman peskin: commissioner mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair peskinand i want to thank the t.a. staff for this presentation. i guess from my perspective as i hear from my kconstituents wheni hear about their frustration, the notion of a potential plan that is going to take five years plus to institute is not great news. i know there's a lot that needs to get thought through and what needs to happen here. i would urge transportation authority staff to move as quickly as possible to set this up for conversations at this board. i do think as i'm thinking about folks from district eight trying to get downtown, we have tremendous train service. but the trains remain also a tremendous frustration for folks who rely on them. so, as this conversation goes forward, i think we are going to need to be having a parallel conversation about how to get the j and the k and the l and the m and n all carrying people -- and the t, carrying people into the core. thank you. >> chairman peskin: thank you. colleagues, before i open it up to public comment, am i gauging us a

you said supervisor peskin's office. did you mean supervisor peskin, or supervisor kim's office? and it sounded as though you were interested in continuing the conversation, and if it's only two projects here, i wonder if those projects could be put to the stress test in the amount of time that we have to pass a final resolution? i'm interested to hear if supervisor peskin or kim would be interested in digging down on the numbers of those last two projects that are not entitled yet. through the chair. so if we could put those two projects to the stress test and ask the project sponsors to reach out to supervisor kim's office, i think they are both in supervisor kim's office. that seems to me to be at least -- it's not allowing them 100% that they are going to be included into the final mix, but it would allow them the opportunity to have the planning department put stress tests on those two projects to see if they could actually withstand additional inclusionary. >> supervisor tang: supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i'll just say this is my first time hearing from 111 turk or 26

. >> supervisor tang: supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam chair. colleagues, i just want to remind everybody of the context, and i absolutely agree that predictability and stability is very important in this business, which is precisely why we crafted collectively a piece of legislation actually even before proposition "c" was passed in june of 2016. and i don't think anybody's disagreeing about what we all want, which is the maximum feasible amount of affordable housing, and to that end, we had a technical advisory committee process, and we ended up landing on the inclusionary numbers that we have today in san francisco, and we also negotiated the environmental evaluation application date relative to grandfathering, and we also, i think, very correctly put a use it or lose it time frame in there, which everybody has known for the last two and a half years, that this date was coming. having said that and having looked at the universe of projects, i think supervisor kim and i were willing to, for entitled projects, to have a year extension from the

and commissioner peskin? peskin aye. and commissioner tang? tang aye. commissioner yee? yee aye. we have first approval. >> chair peskin: next item please. >> clerk: adopt the 2019 prop k strategic plan, this is an action item. >> chair peskin: good morning to the other mr. quintanilla. >> good morning, i'm with the policy and programming division. this morning we're presenting for your consideration the 2019 prop k strategic plan. together with the 5ypps determines which projects receive funding in the next five years. we're extending to the current context and making sure that funds are supporting project delivery and programming so that the agencies can incorporate into their fiscal years, 2018-2019 budget. we're in yief fear of the stra tiej -- year five of the strategic plan period. we have this a three-step process. in may this board adopted a baseline which told the project sponsors how much prop k funds are available by category by the fifiscal year. and we have been working with the project sponsors to identify which projects are receiving funding and making sure that th

supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madam chair. let me make a couple of three statements. one is that the road to compromise in the very carefully chosen words that are before this committee, if we can have that level of negotiation and cooperation between the state water board, turlock, ma de ma e and the n.g.o.s at the table, your mission, mr. kelly, and mr. i want to thank you and your staff for negotiations that included yesterday, sunday and last night and this morning and i think that shows really good faith on your part. as was said by some of the speakers, this is a remarkably complex issue. i think just the spirit of negotiation around the world's that we got to yes on in here with give-and-take, i don't want to say both sides. i would say many sides, is a step in the right direction. this is a issue of our time. i want to say to folks who have fears about construction and jobs and workforce opportunities, that to the extent that this resolution urges and that the p.u.c. is moving into the 21st century about alternatives, it is going to create plenty of job opport

supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you madam clerk. it is with a very heavy heart that i would like to adjourn this board meeting in the memory of the 11 people who were murdered in pittsburgh together with my colleague supervisor ronen and supervisor mandelman maybe from the entire board in a anti--filled anti-semitic gun-toting rampage. they were all murdered on saturday morning by a neonazi in pittsburgh. it is unimaginable to me. it is the largest mass killing of jewish people in the united states of america. i want to associate myself with the resolution that supervisor stephanie will be introducing and as rabbi said, it's about love first. i held a hearing last week and thank the oversight committee for hearing the san francisco housing authority matter. they spent $29.5 million that they did not have. that's the bad news. compounded that audits in 2013 and 2017 showed that their fiscal house was in disorder. the good news is that it appears that the city will take over the housing authority. not just by appointing the members of

as supervisor peskin said, i am the carlin in carlin, carlin and carlin. i want to orient you. we deliver drinking water to 2.7 million customers every day. all the san francisco residences and businesses and we have 27 wholesale customers throughout the bay area. it is not just about san francisco. it is the entire service area that we serve. one of the things that comes up is how much water do our customers use. this is a graphic showing what s.f. customers currently use which is about 42 gallons per person per day. that is the lowest in the state. compared to our service area it is about $59 million per day. the average is 84. and the southern california average is 89 and those numbers are averages. there are higher and lower places in southern california. under the plan, if we have to go to receipt -- extreme rationing to 64%, our customers would be limited to 15 gallons per person per day. i am just trying to put this in perspective as we go through this. to orient you to the bay delta, it includes the sacramento river his and what we are talking about is tributaries to th

before i do that, i will go defer my time to supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madam chair. colleagues, let me first take issue with the statement from the representative from oewd that these projects are at risk? i don't know we know that. we now have a list of what the projects are. fundamentally what this entire conversation was about, well, what prop c was about, because s taking the inclusionary number out of the what ar charter, whet never belonged and where we underwent a rigorous process with a technical advisory committee and stakeholders from the development community and the housing community where we came up with some numbers that were the maximum economically feasible numbers. everybody knew the rules of the game getting in. this is what often happens, which is the rules change to benefit the developers and the real question for these 32 separate projects. this is what i asked the mayor in question time last tuesday, is what is economically feasible? i mean, we should stress test each and every one of these. if they can economically do what inclusionary i

why don't we bring up lee from supervisor peskin's office. president cohen, do you have another question or were you still on there from before? [inaudible] >> supervisor safai: okay. lee? >> thank you. the amendment i have before this committee today is the same amendment that i brought when this was last before this body. i think it's in the spirit of the first amendment that chair safai was presenting. what this amendment would do and it has not changed the last time it was before this committee, it would put a two-dispensary cap at a retail level. functionally, what that means is if you are an owner, if you have an ownership interest, which in the lemgislation is defined as a 20% interest in two store fronts, and you have applications before the office of cannabis, those additional applications would be put on hold. they would not be denied, just put on hold pending other applications in the cue. my understanding is the applications are heard on a first applied first processed basis, so if you're the possessor of a storefront cannabis ret

that that is true, supervisor peskin. i want to apologize to kathy -- katy tang for all the vile, ad hominem attacks that i have perpetrated on her for close to 18 months. i have never intended to hurt or scare or make any board of supervisors or any staff member here ever fearful. i can only say i let myself righteous indignation justify saying disrespectful things, so i respectfully apologize to all the asian community, to the supervisors and to the asian community that was here on other issues. from the bottom of my heart, i apologize, and i hope that at some point in time you can accept my apology. thank you so much. >>clerk: thank you for your comment. next speaker. >> thank you. >>clerk: overhead. >> tim gilberti. an old neighbor of mine. she was born in south beach minimal apartments, and the day she was born, her mother went back in the emergency room, ambulance, to the hospital. touch and go for a few days. and they're a happy family. a lovely family, and we would have loved to have them stay. but they got a full

and then this summer i actually contacted supervisor peskin's office, mentioning this. unfortunately, i wouldn't able to speak with anyone directly, but with that said we are, you know, open to compromise and working with the committee. thank you. >> hi, good afternoon. my name is nick abbott. i'm a resident of district 10. i want to wish my support for extending the grace period up to 30 months or longer. a lot of these projects, i work in public service on the city and spent last weekend to recruit people to work in public service for the city of san francisco and the number one concern among all the recent college graduates i was talking to was lack of affordability in the city, as you know, being one of the biggest issues facing the city. these projects aren't built on the market-rate units, which help contribute to rent citywide and affordable units in the proje projects as they currently are, and creating an unpredictable environment for developers in they can't trust voter initiatives already in the pipeline and further creating instability and creating to greate
