i have no other items proposed for continuance, and i have no speaker cards. >> president hillis: so it's just on the alvarado item? >> clerk: yes. >> president hillis: dbi has that calendar, also? >> clerk: that's correct. they just added that item, the demolition aspect, to their may 2nd or 3rd calendar. >> president hillis: all right. so i just want to make sure -- hold on. hold on. i will take public comment. i just wanted to make sure our proposed day will give us enough time to conclude what dbi will considerate their hearing. >> clerk: we can give it more time if you want to give it more time. >> president hillis: all right. we'll take public comment. now is the time to make public comment on the items be propose proposed f ed for continuance. >> okay. do i have to agree with the continuance? >> okay. >> president hillis: we're not deciding on the project, we were deciding whether to continue it or not. >> i was hoping you would hear it so that it wouldn't be continued. that's all. >> president hillis: now's your time to state that rational for it, but not on the project, just

so this is item number -- so i described item 11 and 12. this is item 13. capacity charges are charges to customers that are either newly hooking up to the system or requesting additional capacity from the water or waste water system. it's intended for them to pay a fair share of the capacity that existing customers have invested to develop. so it's really a generational equity charge. the puc adopted capacity charges in 2005 and 2007 and they have been reviewed and updated during each rate study. now we use what is called the equity buy-in calculation methodology. you look at the values of the assets, less depreciation, less any debt that was used to finance those projects, you add any cash that's been contributed by existing customers and divide t it -- it by the capacity and come up with a charge of meter equivalent. this is actually very conservative. it's the most conservative capacity charge. you'll see that when you look at our capacity charges in comparison to other statewide -- or other regional agencies. again, they ensure that new customers pay t

that item is coming off the agenda. so i am going to start with again, united stat -- aga again -- -- item two with the use of rec tronic control device and we'll limit it to two minutes to treat everyone equally. i'm confident with the large number of speakers everybody will be able to have their say. again, we're taking item three off the agenda. please call first item. >> the clerk: reading >> the clerk: [reading item two] >> okay. members of the commissioner, so as you know, the commissioners assigned to electronic control device commissioner melara sat in on the meetings and i attended a few myself. as you know overly several months they met with different stakeholder groups to come up with through a collaborative process a policy to govern the san francisco police department's use of electronic control devices, ecds. also to develop an electronic control device review panel. we heard different measures and provisions. since that time, our policy has been formulated which is in your pact. we were able to come to terms

so commissioners, any discussion on items 10, 11, 12, 13? okay. so as such,ly call for -- >> vy one comment. the issue of rate increases disproportion at to the rate of inflation. one thing we've talked about is how we have on one hand [ indiscernible ] and have threats people can be comfortable don't represent the burge burgeoning proxy and the policies say for the operating part of the budget which is staff, facilities, routine maintenance, chemicals. tho that those be limited to the rate of inflation and in this rate analysis that have been limited to a rate of inflation soon to be about 3%. so that's a pretty fundamental constraint on staff and the budgeting process the make sure that the midst of all of the money we spent that that piece somehow not get out of control. that also turns out to be a small part of what the rate increase is about. most of the rate increase is about capital projects. there have -- that vow v been -- that have been approved in a variety of ways. and is nun is spent to -- is money that is sfoent obtain a very specific

so yes, this is the third project -- third trail improvement project that we've bid line item, and we do that because for the trails projects, in the field, our staff does their best job to anticipate the distances, but it's helpful to have those costs line item so if it's 110 feet instead of 108, we have the pricing there. we did provide an estimate. this estimate came in over bid. however, the trails project prequalifications built in them. so, for example, this park

on that motion, to approve consent calendar item number four -- [ roll call. ] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously, 7-0, and places us on item five under commission matters, commission comments and questions. >> president hillis: commissioner moore? >> commissioner moore: i was glad to read in the paper that marin street may be available for the flower mart that is, i think, a great move given the push back and the explanations that we have heard. i think it will help us much more strongly to really move forward on other matters. >> president hillis: commissioner richards? >> commissioner richards: so i was in sacramento this week on wednesday -- i forget when they heard sb 827, and i wanted to go see how sausage was made, and boy, did i see how sausage was made. here, we had a bill that would have impacted so many people, so many cities, and we sit here every week over what i would consider much, much less important issues -- you know, the five-foot set back on a deck. we take three minutes of public comment generally unless there's a march on the commission which

so that closes public comment. our next item is section g, special order of business. there is none tonight. section h is a discussion of other educational issues. superintendent matthews, you have an item? >> yes. tonight, we as a district, we have been working on improving service to our sites and to our central office, and so tonight, we have presenting to us our chief of communications officer gentle blythe with the development of the district service standards. >> thank you. good evening, commissioners. we do have a powerpoint. i want to also say that joining me on my right is rid ta mace modevan and daniel manesas. they're on our design team, which is a group of cross-departmental staff members that are working together to address the issue of how to improve our services to our schools and our students and families. thank you. i'm going to bring this a little bit closer, and bring myself closer. i also want to thank joel schager and january -- j jan faraguna who have been working tirelessly to make sure we get a tremendous amount of input on this process. tonight

and then -- so those will be -- i'll be working to schedule those within the next commission meeting or after. and then, a few updates on items that you've heard. so the massage establishments on union street, allowing those as conditional use, that's still to be scheduled in committee. the jackson square uses -- restaurant and bar uses, that was passed by the board of supervisors on 3-6. and the health code banning of the animal furs and products, so it will amended in committee to ban manufacturing of animal fur products except for when the fur is sourced from used products. the sustainability clause that the commission recommended be added to the legislation did not make it in. and then, i wanted to follow up with the legislation that you heard considering the criminal history of employment. this commission approved it. it did make a recommendation that if the penalties -- our penalties are less than the state fines and penalties, that should be adjusted. in review, the state doesn't have set penalties or fines. i guess if they do find that a business has erred, then, those fines or penalties are somehow configured based u

and the third scope of times we talk about are enhancements or pedestrian realm items. so trees, sidewalks, updated pavers, curve ramps, site furnishings, the nice-to-have place makeing items. >> is any of the funding coming from sb-1 at the state? >> a local program is part of sb-1. we applied in january. we just found out yet that better market street did not receive that grant. to the extent that upcoming calls for project or grant funds are made available as a result of sb-1, we'll be seeking that funding, but so far, nothing from sb-1 is funding better market street. >> and the time line for the start of the project? >> so we're starting environmental, and we're shifting from planning to design, and we expect to have design and environmental complete by the spring of 2019 for environmental, and the end of 2020. so december 2020 for design. for construction, as i mentioned, we've split up the project. we always intended to do this for delivery and construction. it maybe it more palatable to bid out and get a wider variety of contractors on board. the segment one constr

item until the end of the meeting if mr. hyams attends and wait for his attendance? thank you. so madam clerk, can you please call item number five. >> item number five is consideration and approval of the proposed lafco budget for fiscal year 2018-2019. >> supervisor fewer: i'd like to recognize interim administrative officer angela calvillo who has a presentation for us. >> at the request of the commission, i'm here today to provide the lafco updated budget and expenditure status. i have three slides for you. it is also in the packet. the first two slides deal with the carrie forwards. the lafco general fund balance on slide two, you've seen this before. it shows the general fund appropriation and the year end over the years 2015 through 2018. i have to credit our office's admin deputy for kcollating al of this information. the current balance is 1 # 1,000 -- okay. i just -- want to just give him a moment to provide me with a more up to date -- okay. oh, good. okay. so we have here -- i'll just repeat that the current available balance is 220,000, better news. the mou between la

item. >> r. dick-endrizzi: thank you. so i do have a written report under item number eight in your binder. and just for the public, there are copies in the public binder. so for the legacy business program, just wanted to highlight, we are having our meeting tomorrow with marketing and branding, and we will be getting our sort of first concepts for the logo, so that's exciting. again, we're targeting the end of june to have the logo -- finalize the logo for the small business program. the accessible business entrance program, i will be consistently putting in the director's report presentations that our office will be giving mostly to merchant and business associations. so we are -- we will be presenting tomorrow morning to the potrero hill dogpatch merchants' association, and then, the people of park side aside -- parkside and sunset on may 3rd, and then the outer sunset merchants on may 22nd. dbi is having a brown bag. these brown bags are target at thatted towards the design professional, the engineer, the architects, the cass and property owners, and that will be this friday. and just s

so i will now accept a motion to approve resolution item n. moved by commissioner bustos, seconded by commissioner singh. all in favor, abstain, opposed, hearing none, motion carries. so madam secretary, please call the next item. >> next order of business is item six, public comment on nonagenda items. madam chair. >> do we have any speaker cards? >> two speaker cards. william -- >> commissioner -- >> commissioner. >> hello. >> long day for me sitting here, but very interesting. good afternoon, bill barnicle, a commissioner for veterans affairs, and also spent 29 years in the military and retired united states air force. i wanted to thank you and my good friend commissioner singh that i have known for 40 years, for the ground breaking projects for the veterans housing a couple weeks ago, a couple months ago, i didn't make it, so thank you. as you know, former mayor lee, was a good friend of mine, and dar, used to come out to the neighborhood and have breakfast together and talk about the warriors and giants and retired and knew i had a passion

so given those things, those other items that you are talking about, i am not being dismissive about them. they are important, but they are more civil in nature and so with regard to the permit and how the permit can be adjusted, again, with regard to timing of the construction and in consideration of getting these guys done, because that is what you really want, what are -- what would be your suggestion for resolution? >> and in essence a plan b would be to restrict the hours. restrict the decibel levels within those hours. for example, if they started at noon, they could then essentially maximize the levels until 4:00. so they would have a solid four hours in which we could leave our home. we wouldn't be able to be in that home. the weekends has to stop. it is the only rest that any of us get. and we have not had a break from this for six, seven months now. only recently if they abated on sunday. >> to answer your question. >> i think that's a good direction for us. thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to make a comment that i haven't seen the proposal yet. >> thank you. >> thank you.

interest in the stories surrounding that time period or that person that we're talking about more so than the item itself. you know, you might have a great latin medieval manuscript, only so many people can read it, only how much time you can spend looking at it, but there's a wealth of time that you can understand the story and the culture and the historical or political setting the daft which has shaped history. so we have focused on items. we have 3,100 items on exhibit here. but the real focus deals with those stories. and we spent with over 100 academics over four years putting this together and that was one of their key roles to make sure we get the stories correct, accurate. then let's share them to the public in a very, very creative way and highly thematic settings. so, that's our summary of the museum of the bible. >>> so, if you like, we can start our tour here. norm will lead most of this, since he's the real expert. and where do we start with bible in america? well, if you can hear some of the background noise, you hear the ocean, the waves hitting the shores of america. and that's re

so now that this item has been amended, mr. schenn, does that mean we need to pass it and then send it back to the ethics commission for clarity? mr. schenn, just for clarity, so at this time, the goal was to pass -- to take the vote on the amended legislation and then to kick it back over to the ethics commission. >> now in the hands of the ethics commission? >> president breed: i'm asking you just to clarify. >> up to you, do you want a motion to return it?

so item seekers in germany have come up with a highly controversial way of delaying deportation more after this short break. join me every thursday on the alex simon chill and i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm showbusiness i'll see you then. twenty eight team coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all time but there was one more question and by the way he's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure you have to the center of the beach but how would you. agree. you are the rock at the back nobody gets passed to you we need you to get left go. alone. and i'm really happy to join for the thousand in russia meet the special one was also appreciated me to the reader the r.t. team's latest edition as we. look. throughout international southern germany has seen a spike in terror related investigations it turns out hall full of these cases involve refugees turning themselves in peter all of them has been that take a look around at what's behind these unusual developments.

item. but in the meantime, direct staff. >> supervisor fewer: so we don't need to take an action, actually, on this item, and so this was just for discussion. okay. thank you very much. thank you very much. so madam clerk, will you please call item number nine. [agenda item read]. >> supervisor fewer: i believe we have an update from mr. wilson ing who's been staffing this records and project manager services. >> hi, commissioners. wilson ing. as you know an rfq was issued in december of 2017 to solicit executive officer services for lafco. this established a prequalification list of respondents which we issued in february and received no bid protests. on that list there were three respondents. this list was issued to all respondents and also publicly available on the office of contract administration's bid website -- bids and contracts website, and lafco may use this list at its discretion for selection and contract negotiation with any of the respondents. so last month at the direction of the chair, our office conducted panel interviews with all the prequalified respondents. from the inte

items 9 a through d. on that motion -- [ roll call. ] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously, 7-0. commissioners, that'll place us on item 10. [agenda item read]. [ inaudible ] >> clerk: sir, sir. >> president wolfram: sorry. this is not a public -- [ inaudible ] >> good afternoon, commissioners. francis mcmillen, department staff. if i could have the powerpoint up, please. the item before you today is the change in article 11 designation of 26 properties as part of the central soma area plan. the properties were identified through the central soma survey and best represent the architectural social and cultural history of the neighborhood. the buildings include exceptional examples of the industrial commercial and residential hotel properties identified through the survey and there are designation fulfills policies included in the central soma plan to recognize and protect soma's cultural resources. the majority of the properties are not currently rated under article 11 or are classified as category five buildings. five of the properties are elig

item c, our consent clepd. can i get a motion and a second, please, on the consent calendar? >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. i know we're having speaker -- speaker issues here. i don't have any public comment on the consent items. are there any items withdrawn or corrected by the superintendent? >> no items. >> any items removed for first reading by the -- okay. none. any items severed by the board or superintendent for discussion and vote tonight? okay. seeing none, roll call vote on consent calendar, please. [ roll call. ] five ayes. >> thank you. our next item is section d, proposals for action. we have a couple of items here, so item 182-27-fp 1, it was moved and seconded on february 22nd, 2018. it was heard at the regular board meeting on march the 6th. superintendent matthews, would you like to introduce cathy fleming? >> director of peef, cathy fleming. >> testing, testing. thank you, dr. matthews, and thank you commissioners. i'm going to read into record our resolution for the approval of a public education enrichment fund expenditure plan for the 2018-19 school year

so and then i'm working with o.e.w.d. on developing budget items for helping with the accessible business entrance program and soft story so you will be hearing about that in the next month or two as we formalize our budget requests. and then i'm not sure if i informed you, but sb 1186, which created the cask program, the certified access specialist program had local municipalities collect an extra dollar at the business registration, or if the municipality didn't have a business registration then at the time for a permit with building inspection, to help sort of do more promotion around the certified access specialist program. that started in 2008, i believe, and it was set to sunset this year, so we have been utilizing that funding to help subsidize c.a.s.p. inspection program. there recently was an updated legislation, s ab 1379 that increased that amount to $4, so when a business goes to register their business, in addition to the business fee, they are also charged $4. so 90% of the $4 is staying in the municipality. there's some criteria that

we've taken a highly thematic approach so that not only are there great items here, but we are finding people really have as much if not more so interest in the stories surrounding that time period, or that person that we're talking about, more so than the item itself. you know, you might have a great latin medieval manuscript. there's only so many people can read it. there's only so many -- how much time you can spend looking at it. but there is a wealth of time that you can understand the story and the cultural and the historical political setting of the day which has shaped history. so, we have focused on items with 3100 on exhibit here, 3100 items. but the real focus deals with those stories. and we spent -- with over 100 academics almost four years putting this together, and that was one of their key roles, let's make sure we get the stories correct, accurate. and then let's share them to the public in a very, very creative way and highly thematic settings. so, that's our summary of the museum of the bible. so, if you'd like, we can give -- start a tour here, and norm will lead mo

i do want to get to that item as quickly as possible, so mr. clerk, can you please call item number three. >> clerk: item number three is a success or item memorandum of understanding between the city of san francisco and the san francisco police officer's association. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much mr. clerk, and the author or sponsor of the hearing, supervisor malia cohen is here today. supervisor cohen, i want to thank you, and hand it over to you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i'm so excited and thank you. the reason why i called this hearing today is because it's the right and the authority of the san francisco board of supervisors to provide consultation and input to the mayor and to the department of human resources on the successor mou negotiation between the city and county of san francisco and the san francisco police officer's association. and for the first time in over ten years, we are negotiating the terms of this mou. it is appropriate that the board exercise its role in bargaining as a branch consider consider bargaining

money out of politics while they have pending decisions before a decision-making body, so i would like to move item number 1 and i will make that a motion. >> president breed: so, supervisor peskin has made a motion, is there a second? seconded by supervisor yee. so just point of clarification, it's not as if they're going to be giving a million dollars, they can't make $5 million contributions to any campaigns. >> the issue is -- right, they cannot -- >> president breed: they cannot bundle contributions now. >> supervisor peskin: generally what you see in situations like this, individuals who have -- yes, they actually can bundle contributions right now. prohibited contributions as set forth in 1.127-a is a contribution to a member of the board of supervisors, a candidate for member of the board of supervisors, candidate for mayor, city attorney, candidate, controlled committee of board of supervisors, and no person or the persons entities with a financial interest in the land use matter, building inspection commission, redevelopment commission, et cetera, planning commission, goes on. shall make
