supervisor preston? >> supervisor preston: so on the $8.7 million, this board voted by a 6-5 vote to pass that, is that correct? >> clerk: that's correct. >> and doesn't that need eight votes? >> that's correct, it needs eight votes. so the president said that vote failed. >> supervisor peskin: okay, so they just got zero dollars? >> so, what is in front of the board now is 3.25. since the vote failed to continue it to january. >> supervisor peskin: if i may, mr. president? i believe what we're trying to do here is keep the department of elections going and the $8.7 million does that and it requires eight votes. so insofar as one side has six and the other side has five, which ever way you want to count that, either side has eight. so what i would recommend, colleagues, we all suck it up and give them the $8.7 million by eight votes and continue the 3.25 to our first meeting in january and discuss it then so that they have a little bit of money between now and then. just seems logical to me. >> president

supervisor preston? >> supervisor preston: thank you. and this comes back on a second reading as well. so i suppose that's another option to use the intervening time if folks prefer to move it forward and to have some of these discussions before a second reading. >> president walton: correct. >> supervisor preston: thank you. >> president walton: supervisor chan? >> supervisor chan: thank you, president walton. i am definitely torn on the very specific portion of the $3.25 million for the school district specifically dedicating this funding for a recall election. i, too, in the same sentiment with supervisor melgar, i am against all recall. i think that it's time for us to really think about how these types of recalls been used as a tactic against our democracy. so, to -- for us to allocate funding to support that effort on a policy matter, it is very difficult for me to support that. however, at the same time as we have learned over the last few months, really the deficits for the san francisco unified school district is just challengin

supervisor preston? >> supervisor preston: thank you for calling this hearing. i want to thank director short for their time and briefing our office on some of these issues that i think are relevant to all of us and all districts around the city. i did have a question if mr. lennon. on the asap program and focusing where it's the responsibility of a private property owner. what is the breakdown roughly between things that come through? there's a complaint versus things that public works discovers through proactive inspections. do you have a sense of that? >> i don't have specific figures. i want to say that the majority of the things that are brought to our attention are via complaint. often times we will send the sirp program to a certain area, it will help to address some of the outstanding issues in the area. where we target and where we go is more vulnerable populations and schools and that sort of thing. >> supervisor preston: thank you. one of my concerns i would say in my district has been, there's some very long-term streets and really bad condition. i'v

let me concur with supervisor preston. i will adopt his words. i did have the question about the delition of the word tourist from hotel on page 10 at line 11. there is a difference between a residential hotel and a tourist hotel. i think what the industry wants. i have not spoken to the industry. to be able to have massage in visitor serving hotels. maybe the right thing to do. i understand the difference and there is a proposal to deletes that contains 100 rooms. if we replace tourists with visitor serving. we would not implicate residential hotels. those words should be run by the city attorney. i am seeing ms. fine art nodding in affirmative that will take care of it and be good public policy. i support this whole heartedly. >> ms. fine art did you want to respond. >> only that i understand the intent and agree with the intent. i am sure supervisor ronan would as well. i would defer then to see if veronica flores from her knowledge of the planning code and the city attorney who is staffing today. >> ms. flores. >> thank you. just to elaborate

i want to thank mayor breed, supervisor preston, city administrator chu and dr. short, and the voters, for bringing this project to fruition. it has been a while. most of all i want to thank the dph team, the incredible dph team, who worked on this both here at the clinic and across dph for your resiliency and strength and for getting this work done. this is so amazing. thank you so much. [applause] i also wanted to just say that i have connections with this clinic that goes back some ways i actually trained here as a resident. and i will say that it needed a bit of refurbishing, shall we say, at that point. and i remember talking about the elevators and was recalling getting stuck in an elevator here at one point and that was a while ago. and really excited to be here. and these renovations are really about ensuring that we provide a caring environment for people to get the care they need, to serve the whole patient. and serving the whole patient means providing an environment that is welcoming for people to get check-ups, for people to get primary care, and wom
