actually it's about this ordinance that we are going, that supervisor tang has been kind enough to have they are staff put together and i am really happy to support this legislation and i want to especially thank supervisor tang and her staff, diana for their tireless work coordinating with community departments, ands office of civic engagement and immigrant affairs. also i know there's many members of the language access network who are here today. thank you for keeping this issue as a top priority. for me this issue is not a new issue, it's an issue that i lived with all my life, especially right after high school when i started working with really the first program serving immigrant youth in chinatown. this is in the 60's when many immigrants were coming in and the services had not caught up with the new population. and what i saw in all those decades of working with families is that with all having this language access they become a non-- they almost become invisible. they can't access services, they don't know who to talk to whether it's a school district, i saw that over and over

however, there's always room for improvement, i concur with supervisor tang we're trying to improve it even further, we raised the bar pretty high for ourselves. in order to ensure equity equal access is required. it is disheartening if the services being offered are unflown and if they are unable to engage in the democratic process simply because of language limitation. the city should be a leader in this. they should be leading the way, not trailing. i know we will encounter many challenges along the way but it is worth the effort. we would do ourselves a disservice if they didn't try. i know the board will do everything in our power to provide the support to ensure language is provided at every level. one of the things supervisor tang is very caution of and i support, we don't want to just tell people what to do and then they don't have the resources to get the work done. i realize if something is extra work to get it done, well, people should get extra resources. i want to make one amendment to this. it's in line with what i just said. i would like to propose adding a six-month che

thank you. >> thank you for those questions supervisor tang for clarification mr. rose to your report please. mr. chairman i would appreciate if the department would advise us of the amendment my report is based on what was submitted wisp not aware of this amendment it didn't change the conclusions of our report but much appreciated for us to get that information so we can report that to say the budget & finance committee on page 7 of the report the total project koftdz the fire department on treasure island $3 million of which $2.5 mi

thank you. >> thank you for those questions supervisor tang for clarification mr. rose to your report please. mr. chairman i would appreciate if the department would advise us of the amendment my report is based on what was submitted wisp not aware of this amendment it didn't change the conclusions of our report but much appreciated for us to get that information so we can report that to say the budget & finance committee on page 7 of the report the total project koftdz the fire department on treasure island $3 million of which $2.5 million is for floor contract 3 contractors but 40 contract and 5 hundred thousand for the project management and the fire department 2015 budget the balance will come from the earthquake safety or general obligation bonds for the neighborhood fights improvements think outside the box on page 8 of the report we report that to date dpw has extended money and have 8 hundred the total estimated cost of $3 million is shown in table 2 on page 9 of our report supervisors to put this in context when we think about an emergency for example a se

one of the things supervisor tang is very caution of and i support, we don't want to just tell people what to do and then they don't have the resources to get the work done. i realize if something is extra work to get it done, well, people should get extra resources. i want to make one amendment to this. it's in line with what i just said. i would like to propose adding a six-month check in with departments that were formerly categorized as tier 2. i know the departments are going to make a good faith effort to comply with the new requirements and i don't want this to be a labor-intensive process. so this does not have to be formally reported it could even be a line of -- to the office of civic engagement and immigrant affairs, i looked at some efforts in terms of recording and although this is not exactly what it is it should be something like this word. it's very simple, two pages, you are not asking somebody to give you a 100-page report. that's not what we want. for me the reason why i want this, add this amendment, is really to look at what's going on with these efforts. because

i would like to recognize supervisor tang. >> thank you colleagues. so having sat on the jao committee with supervisor breed i wanted to respond to some of the amendments proposed. i know we had a two week continuance but we saw these amendments today so i wish we had a better opportunity to work on this -- >> we can continue again. >> while i don't fundamentally disagree with you supervisor avalos on some of the changes that you would like to see made i do want to respect our committee process and why we came to some of the conclusions that we did for our responses so i'm not going to go into every single change that has been made and why we made the decisions that we did in jao but for example for recommendation number 21 we responded the way we did because we want to during our regular budget process give our whole entire board of supervisors along with our city departments the ability to make decisions in the context of our budget process. again that is just one example of how we responded the way that we did. the second point is there are differe

. >> so there's a motion it on the table and seconded by supervisor tang excuse me. supervisor campos thank you, madam chair i'm sure you're aware of those of us who serve on the finance committee voted to oppose it was a unanimous votes ones the finance committee the reason we right let me see voted in that way because let's be very clear about this this is about privatizing public space to the stent there is a need for something like that there's an argument that the jurisdictions already have that authority and what this is is basically, the state legislator yet again responding to the political powders the tech industry for another give away like the one in san francisco and trying to take this show on the road i don't know if even can say that we know that this is going to impact what's happening here in san francisco so there's a clear reason why the finance committee unanimously voted to oppose and i respectfully ask that you vote to affirm what the finance committee had a thorough discussions decided. >> thank you very much supervisor mar. >> i'll agree there

. >> supervisor tang. >> thank you supervisor avalos for your leadership of the agency i also want to welcome commissioner christensen to the transportation authority and also thanks supervisor mar and supervisor cohen for your leadership as well as and supervisor scott wiener i'll be for going the director's report addresses instead giving the annual report in item 14. >> great to an to public comment phenomenon for those two items any members of the public want to comment on the chairs reporting or director's report seeing none, public comment is closed those are informational items we'll go on to the next item. >> election of the chair and vice chair an action item. >> our annually at the first meeting of the board in january, the board shall elect the president and vice chair and the newly elected chair will starred start at this meeting and as soon as one of our nominees get the vote it is declared the officer and so we can do a call out for nominations supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much happy new year everyone i also want to polish the staff grats congratulations on our ce

the plate e spending the time it depreciates shifted back to two projects we have inform supervisor tang brought us a project looking at the underground facilities there's a project that came to us from supervisor wiener's office to the board of supervisors to look at the elections and those are the two official ones there's other supervisors that talked about other projects we have not come to those conclusions whether to do additional project. >> supervisor tang. >> just adding on given this is specifically just a general fund allocation i do know you mention two projects outside of cc organization, however, i guess my question is we are under the understanding that first and foremost our work is with cca, however, this general fund allocation it quite significant and so in terms of how you prioritize our work and again, we do know that one of the main components is cca but giving the large projects i want to better understand how it is that you all indicate our work. >> 70 percent of my time is on the cca and the rest at the non-cc s the second half of this year spent on less non-cc o

supervisors tang. >> thank you, very much. i think supervisor avalos covered pretty much everything i was going to say about mr. quan. it's what people call the people feet in this particular appointment. he has not only supposed experience in his work but he's your every day way fair who wants to contribute and give back to the city in his particular role. i think he was very honest with his answers in the meeting with the city and i can only do anything but urge our colleagues to support him. >> thank you supervisor tang. supervisor mar. >> i i wanted to first acknowledge the petition that some individuals have signed on urging us to oppose this. but i disagree as supervisor tang has pointed out. he's not only a great person as tang just said but he's a father that's trying to live a zero admissions life as much as possible. he's an affidavit bicyclist. he pulled his neighborhoods around him to advocate for the children around him and i think that's sustainable. he spoke very clearly and directly to the criticism raised by o

supervisor tang. >> all right. again same question but just are there any steps or concrete goals that you have for the board if you're able to be appointed? some of the things you hope to accomplish there to carry out the spirit of the law that was passed behind this? >> well, i think the first steb has been meat to create this legislation and a oversight board. that is major because there are so many gray areas that the letter from supervisor campos touched on and i was impressed. the fact that people are scared to choose between their job, creating waves or just keeping their head down and working as much as they can because when you're stuck in a situation that you have to choose pay your rent, eat, or if you say something you will be out of work i think most people will choose to eat so the gray areas would remove the hostility of an idea bringing -- like in all of the protected glasses whether gender or racial or inequality or whatever in all of the protected classes the burden of proof falls upon the plainti
