fujioka and supervisor peskin for explaining it to me. i'm so sorry. please come forward. >> withou i'd like to add that construction delays are often the result of lengthy permitting process, whether the construction is related to residential, commercial units, or seemingly interminable public infrastructure projects. in the private sector, this is really notable and most visible where there has been significant fire damage to infrastuctures. to structures. they typically are uninhabitable for a period of years. >> chairwoman: thank you. is there any other member of the public that wishes to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor peskin. >> yeah. i don't want to in any way cut off a member of the committee. i can wait. >> chairwoman: supervisor? >> just a couple of things. one -- and thank you because this is an important preference. i just want to make sure we're 100% clear that this is just specific to displaced tenants -- >> temporary displaced tenants, as compared to the existing tier for folks who have been l. s.'d or o.m.i'd. >

i agree with what chair peskin's head. i'm excited about this hearing and appreciate the work that has i believe there is not just a broad majority that shares the perspective that chair peskin just articulated. a full consensus on this approach. i appreciate the work, and i'm looking forward to doing whatever we can to support it. >> ms. hale, the floor is yours. >> thank you chairman, thank you supervisors for the opportunity to present our preliminary report today. i am going to briefly -- excuse me, having a little trouble here. i'm going to briefly review the history of city power services and describe the context in which this report has called for and prepared. then i will send a little more -- spend a little more time reviewing the options that the and the recommended next steps. . >> supervisor peskin: very similar to our june presentation, is that true? nevermind, go ahead. don't listen to me. >> the puc is a party of the city and county of san francisco. we service programs as well as water and wastewater servic

that's pretty much it for the amendment. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, charles.ing you want to add on behalf of the public utilities commission as opposed to the california public utilities commission? >> good afternoon. michael hymns, director of clean power sf. i don't have anything substantive to add other than we worked closely with the department of the environment and support the amendment. >> supervisor peskin: excellent. are there members of the public who would like to testify on item number 1, please come forward. >> sounds like a pretty good idea. but i think the best thing for you to do in order to get a true and correct measurement on how much electricity and money that you are saving is to put these sole ar panels directly on top of the roof of these skyscrapers that you targeting that are not residential districts. you need to put these solar panels on the buildings in question and subtract the difference on the amount of electricity being paid in order to keep the building running. any difference, other than what they're saying by using your basic

so, thanks, everyone. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. without objection, we will adopt the aforementioned amendments and move via supervisor safai. we'll take those without objection. and then we'll forward to the item to the full board as amended with additional cosponsors without objection. and that brings us to the conclusion of this jam-packed agenda. we are adjourned. shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of san francisco by supporting local services within neighborhood. we help san francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. where will you shop and dine in the 49? san francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall district. each corridor has its own personality. our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. >> you are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping small businesses grow. >> it is more environmentally friendly. >> shopping local is very important. i have had

supervisor peskin. >> thank you, chair mar. colleagues, i called for this hearing back in may, after it came to my attention. actually a perennial issue now for a long time. this dates back to the beginning of this century, with a civil grand jury report in 1999-2000, that spoke to deficiencies in the medical examiner's office. i received complaints from individuals who have waited, what i think is far too long and beyond the industry practices, to get death certificates and final autopsy reports. there has been an ongoing chronic staff shortage, a lot of staff turnovers. as a matter of fact, right now we don't -- we have an acting medical examiner. our last medical examiner upped and left the medical examiner's office. it has lost its accreditation. there have been chronic problems with having their annual reports posted online. there is evidence that annual reports have been changed after the fact. and so i want to delve into every aspect of this, with an eye not to be critical, but see if we can all collaborate together with

good morning chair peskin and commissioners. i am chair of the citizens advisory committee to report on last wednesday's meeting of the cac. they reviewed the motion of support for $26 million in prop k allocation and one $100,000 prop k appropriation request on item 5 on the agenda. they responded regarding undergrounding the k and m lines to the twin folks tunnel and out to stones town. this harkins back to a feasibility study for less extensive that was to proceed to preenvironmental design in 2015. it was expanded in scope in 2016. when sf m.t.a. staff was asks if this was to proceed. they need priority against other major transit projects as part of the overall connect effort. it would be premature to engage in environmental review until the transit corridor and streets and freeway studies recommendations could be evaluated. with the ongoing congestion on 19th and park mer said, the mead for the m line is more acute every day. regarding speed radar signs, there was a question about combining with technology such as road sen

i'm going to pass this over to supervisor peskin. >> thank you, supervisor walton. and i want to thank you for waiving the 30-day rule. this is a proposal to amendment the housing preference policy to accommodate tenants displaced by temporary capital improvement conditions, which is quite pronounced in areas of the city that have older rent control housing like the corner of the city i represent. san francisco's existing rent law a allows landlords to evict tenants temporarily in order to provide capital u78 improvements, and sometimes they are mandatory, and sometimes they're voluntary improvements that the landlord undertakes. i think many of us have heard about the phenomenon of remolding evictions, and in some cases, the gold plating, with capital improvements, that are not just about safety and inhabitability, but are really aimed at driving out tenants. under the rent ordinance, these capital improvement temporary evictions are indeed intended to be temporary, and the tenant is entitled to return when the renovations are completed. and the law, as it exists,

>> supervisor walton: thank you, chair peskin. moving pretty fast today, huh. >> well, it's been two hours. >> supervisor walton: just briefly. we've been hearing a lot from our constituents lately. and i've definitely personally experienced as recently as this past weekend, inadequate and inconsistent transit service, we're experiencing on the t-third light rail. the mission bay platform construction, with the bus substitutions and the shuttles, more frequent and reliable, in addition to the "t" line. i'd like to ask the transportation authority to conduct a study, bringing back bus service on 3rd street. bring back the 15 and potentially routing it to connect with exsettlor and the bart rain to -- station to the south. >> chair: all right. noted. with that is there any general public comment? >> a call for the calvary to come. [laughter] to your rescue. sounded like that. so i'm asking the supervisors. when we have our projects that do the asphalting, somehow we should keep in mind our children, school children, our youth and ou

>> thank you, chair peskin, for your remarks. i think that this city and most cities in the country were built around cars. we have to change in reverse that mentality of the way we design streets in the way streets are run and it has to be pedestrians and bicycles first and cars second or third. we need to take a look at no turns and get the help -- or no turns on a red light, and then also, because i have been on to visit darrow a lot lately, what i have been seeing with four lane streets or boulevards is that when someone is turning left, they actually gun it because of two lanes of cars coming and they gun it into a crosswalk. i have had five fatalities in a year, and two of them were people turning left and actually gunning it to get through. so i think that we really need to look at all these measures as we go forward of keeping our streets safe. thank you. >> commissioner walton? >> thank you, chair peskin. i just want to echo the sentiments of all of my colleagues. i have had a few fatalities in my district, as well. ther

>> supervisor peskin: could you remind us of your name? katy sherping. >> supervisor fewer: you mentioned many of the permits being streamlined. which ones are you streamlining? >> the legislation that was signed last week did a number of things. i may not have them all off the top of my head. it reduced some of the duplicate inspections that would happen. if you did a build-out and apply for an entertainment, you would have to do that again. so that goes away. there are other areas where we updated our health code for example to be more in line with state health code around when restrooms are required to be accessible for patrons. this expands opportunities for businesses to, for example, have like a small coffee cart or something like that without having to provide a restroom for their customers. there were a number of other pieces of this legislation. the piece that was talked about most in the commission had to do with the buffer zone and honing in our zoning so it's most applicable in the neighborhoods where it was originally intended

so, thanks, everyone. >> supervisor peskin: thank you.hout objection, we will adopt the aforementioned amendments and move via supervisor safai. we'll take those without objection. and then we'll forward to the item to the full board as amended with additional cosponsors without objection. and that brings us to the conclusion of this jam-packed agenda. we are adjourned. (clapping.) the airport it where i know to mind visions of traffic romance and excitement and gourmet can you limousine we're at san francisco inspirational airport to discover the award-winning concession that conspiracies us around the world. sfo serves are more 40 million travelers a year and a lot of the them are hungry there's many restaurant and nearly all are restaurant and cafe that's right even the airport is a diane designation. so tell me a little bit the food program at sfo and what makes this so special >> well, we have a we have food and beverage program at sfo we trivia important the sustainable organic produce and our objective to be a nonterminal and bring

thank you so much for your time. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, ms. thomas.supervisor fewer, i think as your presentation elucidated, this is an intertwined very complicated web. i think in order for -- i'm going to say this to the departments -- for this hearing to be successful and while all 11 of us and the mayor focus on homelessness and larger societal problems, i think we've got to boil this down to things that we can do. so, for instance, i agree with you that -- as a matter of fact the board has taken steps in other policy areas to deal with the issue of fees, which are paramount in -- particularly when you're starting a restaurant when there are over 20 fees. some of them, you don't have to avail yourselves of if you don't want the entertainment permit, if you don't want sidewalk table and chairs permit, you don't have to get it, but you have to get a dbi permit for the place. you may or may not if you're moving into a previous restaurant space, depending on the zone, have to get a cu. mr. star will speak to the fact there are provisions for expedite

so, thanks, everyone. >> supervisor peskin: thank you.ut objection, we will adopt the aforementioned amendments and move via supervisor safai. we'll take those without objection. and then we'll forward to the item to the full board as amended with additional cosponsors without objection. and that brings us to the conclusion of this jam-packed agenda. we are adjourned.

and supervisor peskin has sponsored that. it's been before you, so we will become more in line with the counties around us using red, yellow, green. so it's consistent as you move from county to county, and also restaurant owners are not seemingly punished because they have a broken tile in the back. or a broken tile in their bathroom. or they just don't seem at that time to have paper towels or soap in the bathroom. so it's really punishing them in that way where they lose points, this is more risk-based. it's based on food temperatures, food storage. hand washing, if they don't wash their hands and finally where the source of their food comes from. so we're making changes to the way that environmental health has operated in the past. and we're moving forward with that. any questions? >> supervisor fewer: any questions? colleagues? seeing none. thank you very much. we appreciate that. so let's open up the public comment and hear from you. i'm going to call names out. everyone has two minutes. [reading of names] >> trying to

i am aaron peskin. ms. major, any announcements?> please make sure to silence all cell phones and electronic devices. speaker cards and documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon will appear on the october 8 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. item number 1 is ordinance amending the planning code to designate 2031 bush street, aka kinmon gakuen building, as a landmark under article 10 and affirming appropriate findings. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, ms. major. before we introduce shannon ferguson from the planning department, i would like to be listed as cosponsor of this landmark designation. the case report was really a pleasure to read and very well done. and very edifying and of course, speaks to terrible parts of our american history and san francisco history relative, not only to executive order 9066, but acts of local governments, including our school board in the day. it's almost the opposite of today's dynamics where we have a racist, xenophobic president and a very progr

thank you very much. >> supervisor peskin: any other members for item 7? seeing none, public comment is closed. would you please read item six. >> clerk: allocate $16.1 million anal locate $100,000 on prop k sales tax funds for 2012 requests. this is is an action item. >> good morning commissioners, deputy director for policy and programming. i am pleased to present 12 requests for you this morning. first is the muni subway expansion development. this project would study the potential undergrounding of the n line and k line as they are entering to the twin peaks tunnel and also conceptual designs and cost estimates. this is for these particular lines to study a particular segment of the m line area that is shown on your slide. the benefits to improvements to the metro in this particular area would be recognized throughout the city providing speed reliability and capacity to the full system. next is the request for the midlife overhauls project for schedule d overhauls based on manufacturer's allocations. julie is here to present be a power present presenta

. >> supervisor peskin: mr. slocum, unlike most fees that the city charges, which are based on cost recovery, i believe this fee is an exception insofar as it's actually based on the value of the real estate, because it's in the public right-of-way, so it's actually -- if we issue a marriage license, the way the controller calculates the fee is how much staff time costs the city has to fee to produce a marriage license. so it's a cost recovery thing. but i believe that the tables and chairs are different because it's in essence, a lease payment. so it's not based on cost recovery. am i correct on that? >> it is prorated amongst the space that is occupied, however, that being said, when it comes to time and materials, i don't believe we recoup our efforts in the permits, and one of the reasons we do it that way, we're trying to promote activation of the public space and as such, the fees are lower. >> supervisor peskin: in 1993, before my time, was the base fee established? >> i would have to do research and foll

>> yes, sir. >> supervisor peskin: got it. that's helpful. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. on that topic, i wanted to say, so hearing from the restaurant industry and all these fees and, you know, getting sort of nickel dimed every step of the way, do you think that we could, mr. slocum, i'm sorry to direct it to you, you're the authority here, do you think there is a possibility that we could eliminate these fees for them? i mean, i think that it works two ways. one, as you said, the city really wants to activate these outer spaces for the activity. i think we all can agree when you have table and chairs outside, that from the pictures that you actually showed, it actually does help to activate the commercial corridor. makes it look lively and adds a level of attractiveness and expands the service area for the restaurant. do you think there is a possibility that once you give us the amount of money we're actually recovering or getting from these fees, do you think that there is a possibility that we might waive thes

peskin no.ne ayes and two nos, with supervisors mandelman and peskin in dissent. >> president yee: this is approved with 9-2 vote. please call 6 through 9 together. >> three ordinances that authorize the execution of certificates of participation for item 6, cop not in amount to exceed 96 million to finance real property at 820 bryant street, 476 street and lease of laguna honda boulevard. for item 7, cop not to exceed $62 million to finance the acquisition of real property at 850 bryant street and the lease at 375 laguna honda boulevard. same for above as determined by the director of finance. item 8, in an amount not to exceed $62 million for the hall of justice improvement project. for item 9, cop in an amount not to exceed 78.6 million and placing various amounts depending on the sales of certification. >> president yee: please call roll. >> ronen aye. safai aye. stefani aye. walton aye. yee aye. brown aye. fewer aye. haney aye. mandelman aye. mar aye. peskin aye. there are 11 ayes. >> presi

i'm here to answer any questions you have. >> thank you supervisor peskin. you know, it is so frustrating how out of whack we are in this city. we know that we need more housing, yet we're converting houses and apartment buildings into hotel rooms and then hotel rooms into condos. it's all out of whack. it makes no sense. i 100% support this. if i could be added as a co-sponsor, i would appreciate that. thank you for re-upping your ordinance. i didn't know the history of this was needed 10 years ago and i guess we face the same challenges every decade of it in different forms. i just wanted to say to the local members, thank you for your hard work. you're incredible. you're organizing to protect your jobs and your conditions that you deserve for the hard work that you do, for yourself and your coworkers. it's always admirable and i appreciate you for coming out today and speaking. is there any other comments from my colleagues? >> yes, thank you chair ronen. i want to thank supervisor peskin for your work on this and for the local 2 members and the local 2,

thank you. >> commissioner haney. >> supervisor haney: thank you, chair peskin. i had a question about the speed radar sign installation program. it seems like the timeline is a couple years for it to get done, and thanks to the leadership of chair peskin and supervisor yee and others we are pushing forault to speed enforcement. would this in any way help to prepare us or how does this relate to that? in addition do we have an analysis of making these effective. do they provide warnings when people are going at fast speeds. how do we make sure these are effective and lining us up for hopefully automated speed enforcement. >> i will have the project manager address your questions. we have required before and after speed data. this is something that is cac pointed out. how effective are the signs? there is not enforcement tied to the signs necessarily in april of themselves. they are to make the driverss aware of the speed. they have been shown to have some benefit. i will let phillip go into detail on that. as far as automated speed enforcement, that is independen

i know chair peskin and supervisor haney got that letter today. that's good. thank you to the department of environment stakeholders and others that were part of that conversation along with the mayor and supervisor peskin and mandelman. the other question i had, the question i had is, in terms of the pricing. that's one of the things that wasn't discussed today, that encourages or discourages people from using the stations outside of their homes, right? because some people have solar-powered at their house, or access to different rates based on what has been negotiated as part of a larger package. but has there been thought or conversation put into the pricing to encourage people to utilize these charging stations and parking garages? >> sure. so i believe both -- >> the prices can vary. i reason i know this, i have an electric car. >> right. so for electricity rates, i'll start there. there a couple of costs that go into charging your electric car. for rates, i believe pg&e and clean power sf have demand response rates to take advantage. >> you're couraged t

. >> supervisor peskin: next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. thank you for having me here today to speak for the vehicle triage center. as supervisor safai pointed out, this site controlled by mission housing along with our partner related california. we will be building 100% family-affordable housing about 137 units. and we couldn't agree more that the best use of the year before we actually break ground is to provide a place for our unhoused. one thing that i do want to point out just in case it helps, mission housing the developer of 1950 mission street which is where we had the first navigation center and something that i think has actually been a really great thing and spread out throughout the city so i have heard rumblings from its own people that they are worried that the vehicle triage center will hold up the development of the affordable housing and that is absolutely not the case. mission housing has direct experience within the last year of moving a navigation center from one place to another in concert with the department of homele
