supervisor ross mirkarimi. supervisor mirkarimi: this is an inoculous measure. it really is for all intents and purposes. it does not do anything prescribed, it doesn't mettle in the inner working of the police department. i've been working with the police department a number of years on these kind of matters and i agree there's an unorthodox assertion that the board of supervisors should not take these kind of leaps or steps but at the same time, we're the ones who answer constituent concerns about public safety. we're the gatekeepers that people come to complain to us the most about insufficient response or insufficient resources on the police department but yet, we're all the ones for over the last five or six years have done our homework on what other cities are doing. and they have demonstrated, i think, with sound proof as it has been well documented, too, by perf, which i sit on the executive committee with the police department that has become the the idea for the chief to make these reforms and prior to

ross mirkarimi, do you want to walk through the rest of your amendments? supervisor mirkarimi: some of these will be familiar. we mentioned this two weeks ago and president chiu also attempted to touch on a few of these issues as well. i would like to go a little deeper. the next amendment is regarding power 3.6. we had legislated four years ago this area, when it's transferring from federal back to san francisco, city government, that the energy infrastructure be administered by public power. i'm proud of that. i think it's great that the board of supervisors united around this and i think it seriously elevates our ability for something that the city should have done for nearly a century. in case it does not succeed for whatever reasons, the amendment contingency here is that if the f upc does not provide electricity or natural gas to the site as set forth above in the community office -- city office community agricultural city in the area, then the tca service would include the party's site. future owners within the project site have the ability to parti

i want to say thank you to ross mirkarimi for bringing this measure.when i was in graduate school 20 years ago, i studied at that time a relatively new reform of community policing which has now been adopted by police departments around the country and i think everyone knows this is something we need to do and i think it's quite common sense to ask to move forward that our police department have a plan that we can discuss around foot patrols and community policing. that being said, there is a broader conversation on the november debate around sit lie and part of my support was around a policy commitment that i think our city ought to devote to foot patrols and community policing rather than a sit/lie ordinance that has had legal questions and there are many other ordinances that have tried to address similar behavior and have failed. a number of weeks, mayor newsom decided to device language between his hotel tax and the hotel tax placed on the ballot by thousands of san franciscans to be placed on the november ballot and i have to admit his decision t

president chiu: why don't we go back to supervisor daly's motion and then to supervisor ross mirkarimi's first amendment. >> i still have questions on what we can or cannot do. supervisor mirkarimi: my understanding on my motion is that what we can do is condition our approval of plan on certain changes. so my motion would be to condition the approval of the plan on amendments to -- [inaudible] and affordability levels that i outlined. >> i'm fine with that. at what point do i ask my questions about the overall scope of what we can do? now or after the motion? president chiu: ask at this time. although just to clarify supervisor daly's motion, it's items 12 to 14? if i can ask the deputy city attorney. if i could ask miss adams. if i could ask the deputy city attorney, would supervisor daly's motion be a motion with regards to specific items that we have on the calendar? i think we need to do that. >> let me make one clarification here. we have a redevelopment plan that is being adopted potentially by you today. we also have a bunch of plans and when people use the term plan, they need t
