supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: on page 15, amendment number 7 of supervisor peskin's ordinance, i need to ask city attorney, but it still refers to actively oppose, i think it's after we take my amendment number 3. >> supervisor peskin: i think if we take supervisor tang's amendment it meets the first part of my amendment number 7, but we still have to do the second part, the public appeal provision on page 17. i think. >> so we could go through the process and then mr. schenn, you can take a look and let us know? >> just to weigh in briefly on the question, there are portions of the amendments that contradictory, so the deletion would be contradictory and we would have to do mixing and matching from there. so with respect to supervisor tang's amendment, the definition of interested party does not naturally link up to supervisor peskin's proposed amendment to the definition of interested party. so you all would need to sort out which direction you want to go. the amendment to public appeal which

supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you, so, yes, you meant me. i will withdraw my motion to amend based on my amendments that i proposed. >> i withdraw my second. >> president breed: wonderful. the vote right now is to adopt the amendments that are the same amendments proposed by the ethics commission so that our legislation matches up with one another. madame clerk? supervisor breed aye. supervisor cohen aye. supervisor fewer aye. supervisor kim aye. supervisor peskin aye. supervisor ronen aye. supervisor safai aye. supervisor sheehy aye. stefani aye. yee aye. >> president breed: the amendments are adopted unanimously and now supervisor tang, back to your proposed amendments specifically. >> supervisor tang: all right, so i'd like to adopt my amendment to number 1. i think that's just easier if i refer to it if you look -- >> president breed: so you'd like to make a motion to adopt amendment number 1. seconded by supervisor safai, can we take that without objection? without objection, the amendment passes. >> supervisor tang: i'd like to make mo

thank you. >> supervisor tang: okay. thank you. so, can we get a motion on first the amendment and then the continuance? >> supervisor safai: i make a motion to accept the amendment as proposed. >> supervisor tang: okay. without objection. >> supervisor safai: and then i make a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> supervisor peskin: about one week. >> supervisor safai: one week. >> supervisor tang: we can do that without objection. thank you very much. all right. madam clerk, can we please call item 3. [reading item #3] >> supervisor tang: thank you. again we have supervisor peskin as sponsor. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. the ordinance before you today extends the term of lower polk alcohol restriction. it was established by my predecessors in 2013 to address the influx of new bars in the lower polk neighborhood and the community's desire to maintain a healthy balance of uses in that area. i want to give credit and acknowledgment to the stewardship of the lower polk neighbors which has been working with bus

[bell]. >> supervisor tang: thank you. again, if anyone else wants to speak, please come and line up by the drapes. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm carl hanson with bird. first i want to say i think we share a lot of the same goals. san francisco has the laudable target of getting to 80% of trips being non-automotive by 2030. rides have to shift so some new technologies for that to happen. we think we found something that can really help with that goal. that said, we do absolutely empathize with the concerns of the community. we do not want to see riders riding dangerously on sidewalks or riding on sidewalks at all, parking on sidewalks no ways that present a hazard. we had good conversations with supervisor kim's office, with walk san francisco and have set up some new ways of addressing this, including taking a photo, requiring riders to take a photo at the end of each ride, demonstrating they have parked safely. we are adding a no riding on sidewalks rule to each bird and we also want to ensure that is a robust conv

thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. i had a number of speaker cards here but i think everyone is out of order. so, just come on up. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is joe. i have been a charger for birds since march 25th. this extra income really helps feed my family with the expensive cost of living in san francisco, every penny counts. as a native of san francisco, i see the need for the bird scooters for commuting in this congested city. also want to apologize for any difficulties our birds present to the public and we will do whatever we can to make things better. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening. my name is david nunez and i'm a charger for bird. birds has also helped me supplement my income. i hear a lot of things people are saying about negative aspects of how people are treating the scooters. but yet that can be done with any vehicle or any scooter, bike. it is about the person who is in charge of it to put it away, put it in the correct place. to leave it a

tang aye. yee aye. there are 11 ayes, the motion is adopted unanimously. >> president breed: all right, you remove number 3, so we're at number 4. >> thank you, i think that supervisor safai is correct, if you go to the file 180280 section 1.15 give me one second. starting at page 16, go to -- that section should be removed. and we will -- >> president breed: i'm sorry. >> supervisor peskin: the file, item number 43, which is the file that i just referenced, file number 180, 280, because we're going to table the file ending in 01. so the file that we move forward pursuant to item 50 without committee reference calendar actually has the major donor financial disclosure in it. so supervisor safai is correct. and inso far tt as i said that -- so my amendment number 3 amended this section. what i agreed to do earlier regarding president chiu's collaborative statement that we're going to work this thing out over time and insofar as it would not be place by the june 5th election, i am making a motion to strik

thanks. >> supervisor tang: thank you for that. i wanted to know what the anticipated impact on our revenues would be as a result of this? i'm not questioning the impetous. i think it is really great you brought this forward to us. i wanted to know what we are expecting in terms of the impacts on revenues. >> we estimate it is less than $200,000. in reality most tnc drivers even if they live in san francisco probably wouldn't come forward and register which is why we oppose the legislation. it is covering taxi drivers left in that category. >> supervisor tang: thank you. that sounds very minimal. okay. colleagues do we have any other further questions or comments about this one? >> supervisor kim: no questions, but i just want to completely agree with the direction. it is really unfortunate that the state passed a bill prevents localities from requiring worker who is do business in san francisco for applying and paying for a business license. out of fairness for the drivers, i think this makes sense. it is unfortunate this is befor

tangs tang thank y . >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. and do we -- i think we do have presentations from our san francisco puc. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm karen kubric, the sources and improvement program from the san francisco public utilities commission. this is a 20 year investment in our waste water system. at this time, the funding has been authorized. over $2 billion of that 2.9 billion that's been authorized will be made -- improvements will be made at our southeast plant in district ten, and the biosolids project, which we're here today about, represents 1.2 billion of that total. today's item request for the adoption of the ceqa findings for the biosolids project and authorization for us to move forward into the construction phase. i do want to thank supervisor cohen for her supportive leadership. she really has been wonderful for this critical project. it's a tough lift. positions for the improvements of southeast plant were developed collaboratively with the community. we had a digester task force, we worked with the

thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. >> supervisors, michael terrio, san francisco construction and trades council. i'm not going to talk about jobs. i do understand something about asymmetric negotiations having sat down on them in the past. when you come out of those negotiations, you have a deal. and i realize you as the members of the board of supervisors were not involved in that deal, but the sailing center was. i would ask them to respect that deal. certainly we all thought there was one. certainly when we came to the treasure island development authority meetings a couple of years ago. with regard to the resolution itself, it is mom and apple pie, much of it. you know, respect for youth sailing and support for youth sailing, unarguable. preservation of eel grass beds, unarguable, and i do understand what that is having picnicked on that beach before the sailing center was already there. and yet, that resolution, there are items in it that will be viewed as binding even though they are not precisely binding. when

>> supervisor tang: yes. we have several members of the public that are available to answer questions. carissa harris and avery whitmarsh, sailing center. and red jipson from u.s. sailing. i think i need to clarify, director beck. i think supervisor safai is asking, if we move forward with the program, would that impact the current educational program? >> it is my understanding that it would not. >> supervisor tang: so we can greatly expand the slips and size of boats in clipper cove and it would not impact the educational programs offered today? >> that is my understanding. >> supervisor tang: thank you. >> supervisor safai: through the chair, can we call someone from the sailing center? >> supervisor tang: absolutely. harris adamson? if i did call your name, if you don't mind sitting in the front row so you can be available for questions, that would be great. >> i'm dr. adamson, for the record, chair of the treasure island sailing center. >> supervisor safai: thank you. sorry. juggling a lot of things today

>> supervisor tang: any members? seeing none. public comment is closed. >> supervisor kim: i have one amendment to make. we need to change c4 on page 5, lines 4-5 to c1. is that correct? >> deputy city attorney, john givner. the document circulated has a number of amendments. with the additional clerical tweak that you just mentioned, so if the committee would adopt a motion approving all of the amendments that reflect those. >> supervisor kim: yes. i would like to make a motion to amend the language as has been recommended and distributed to committee members. >> supervisor tang: without objection? all right. thank you. can we get a motion an the amended item? >> supervisor kim: so moved with positive recommendation to the full board. >> supervisor tang: without objection. item 2. >> clerk: the resolution responding to the recent proposal to expand the private marina located in clipper dove. >> supervisor kim: thank you. members of the community and of the public here on this item in regards to clipper cove on treasure island. t

i will proceed with my amendments and then go to supervisor tang. i guess that would be a better process. so -- on my amendment number two which would be deleting the major donor disclosure provision is there a second? >> one more minute to look for it. >> sure. >> i'll second. >> commissioner lee has second. >> madame executive director call the vote. >> commissioner lee. >> aye. >> commissioner kop. >> no. >> commissioner rene. >> no. >> commissioner renee. >> no. >> commissioner. >> >> three is clarifying contribution disclosure requirements. this would add language intersection 1.1.145 in subsection b1. is there a second? >> within, one moment, please. >> i'll second. >> commissioner lee has seconded. madame executive director would you call the vote. >> commissioner lee. >> aye. >> commissioner kop. >> aye. >> commissioner renee. >> aye. >> commissioner chu. >> aye. with the 4-0 vote the motion passes. i'd like to turn to amendment two under section 2.3 definition substituting the word agent for authorized representative and making a change int

apologies. >> supervisor tang: i'm try to pull up the paper work. supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: i did appreciate mr. hanson's mention that they -- bird is now requiring individuals to send a photograph at the end of a ride showing that the scooter was properly parked pursuant to existing law. i wanted to offer a suggestion and this is really outside of the scope of this legislation because this legislation is really a high level permitting authority to the agency that governs the use of our street. but the notion that you receive a photograph prior to the ride showing that the individual has a helmet. i know that my experience is not unique, which is that -- and i'm hazarding a guess. upwards of 90% of the individuals i see are not only on the sidewalks, they are without a helmet. i was very pleased this morning to see on columbus avenue two individuals riding in the street. both of them without a helmet. and me and my colleagues are responsible for two hospitals in san francisco. san francisco general and laguna honda. and when you have

supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you. believe it or not, i do actually agree with the comments that supervisor peskin made. i did in committee try to make an amendment about urging amendments versus opposing because i do think probably it is strange for -- procedurely it is odd for us to vote when amendments are being made. i do agree and believe sb-827 is overreaching in terms of not allowing local jurisdictions to have say what kind of publy value we want to recapture. i'm hopeful about amendments and have been speaking with senator wiener who indicated that amendments would be forthcoming next week. so, my only comments today are that procedurely it would be nice for us to i think have a resolution adopted after we sue the full version of sb-827. but again, if there's a desire of this board to weigh in right now, of course at this very moment, the way that the bill is written, i don't support it as is. years ago, tried working on legislation city wide around development and i'm very open minded about development on the

supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: sorry. just one follow up question to my earlier one regarding hiring. i'm just wondering how many vacant corridor ambassadors are people who are manually cleaning our streets, how many vacancies there are right now, and can we address try to filling those first? >> so approximately, if we take the corridors, the commercial corridors where they usually work, there's about 90 now, and our goal is 130, so we're 40 down as of right now. and we continue to hire, but given the -- our employees, they are a challenge, so it's hard to keep them. we haven't been able to get up over 110 in the last year, year and a half, and sustain it. >> supervisor tang: so i think that just goes to my early point, we'd love to get more people hired, we'd love to sustain them. i don't know that putting 1.6 million to that right now is going to sustain that. i think it's a wonderful program that you proposed in getting folks from workforce development to come and fill those positions quicker, so i'd love to see those

done. >> supervisor tang: all right. now. i'm wondering if we can hear about some of the process improvements that mta is proposing. supervisor peskin and safai owe us dinner for how long we're here. >> i just want to say i concur fully with that. if we missed the opportunity on that one specific issue, it will come up again, and we're fully committed to making these permit conditions. we learn from each successive one to make it as strong as possible to protect the city and the people that we serve. so tom mcguire is going to make a presentation quickly speaking to the comment amendments and then some comment on the legislation. >> okay. good afternoon, supervisors. tom mcguire director of the sustainable streets portion of the sf meat. -- sf mta. i will try to move quickly through this. as supervisor peskin said since i was here before you last fall, when we first started talking about legislation and charter amendments, you certainly have gotten our attention. i promised i would come visit each of your offices, talk to you

>> i'd like this make a motion to move, i wanted to thank supervisor tang for your work on this.is incredibly important for us to do, another way to support small businesses here. while it is really important that meet the mandatory access, for so many reasons, we know this has been such a challenge for small businesses that are in old spaces and buildings that preexisted these mandate. thank you for pushing this forward. >> supervisor tang: if we can pass this out as a committee report. that would be great. we'll do that without objection. >> thank you, item number 1. >> the resolution establishing the leather and lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender cultural district. >> supervisor kim: thank you so much. we have been -- well, first of all, i should start with a little bit of history. this has now been a little over a decade in the making. the concept of a leather cultural district was first introduced through the neighborhood community planning process starting in 2007. so this was a part of the promise of the western soma plan to recognize the historic contributions of the lea

and i know supervisor tang, supeor

that concludes my minutes. >> thank you, supervisor tang. supervisor fewer. >> i have amendment one section 1.26 contractors doing business with the city. i'm amending to eliminate the value of the desired contract from the notification of the ethics commission sub suspension we have heard many concerns of having exact values by contractors could cause harm to the competitive bidding practice and we believe eliminating the flame will help maintain the integrity and allowing the subject to be informed of the contacts of the people doing business with the city and achieving goals of the anti-corruption or accountability ordinance and makes a grammatical correction as there is no period after the word proposal. amendment two is section 3.620. i'm amending section 3.620 of the code which would obligate donors of behested payments or interested of parties to file report only if their donation is at least $10,000. previous amount was 1,000. we heard concerns about it creating an unreasonable filing burden on donors. while we believe donors should

supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much and thank you to the ethics commission and of course supervisor peskin as well for helping to work on some of the amendments we'll be proposing later on in the meeting. i just want to say opening comments in terms of overall ethics legislation. i think what i heard loud and clear was the intent for leveling the playing field, making sure there's transparency with campaigns, elections and so forth. also i think on the flip side, i this i that it's immensely important for all of us as candidates or people running ballot measures and so forth to actually be able to comprehend all of these ethics legislation in an easy way. again, as i mentioned in committee, i have a campaign attorney who is amazing and is able to help me sort through all of the different, you know, requirements locally and the state level. but today, you know, as we are considering this legislation before us, it has been incredibly difficult to peel through, you know, all the different regulations, again, not only locally but also at the state level. in fact, state

that's right, wu-tang only made one copy and sold one copy, which means i outsold wu-tang clan with myum: "straight outta charleston." ( cheers and applause ) charleston fans. exactly. look for it at walmart in that bin where they sell candy corn in february. ( laughter ) now, "once upon a time in shaolin" was originally purchased for $2 million by pharma bro martin shkreli. but, unfortunately, shkreli came down with an acute case of "going to jail." so he was forced to turn the album over to the department of justice, which means that, believe it or not, the forfeited wu-tang album is now in jeff sessions' hands. it's in his hands! he could be staring at the album cover right now, trying to figure out how there are nine black men he hasn't put in jail yet. ( laughter ). >> jon: oh! >> stephen: that joke is critical of that. ( laughter ) the point of the joke is he's too ready to-- okay, now. some people want "once upon a time in shaolin" released to the public, like wu-tang rapper method man, who told a reporter, "i thought people were going to be able to go into a museum and listen t

supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: thank you. this case was certainly complicated given all of the information i've read in the packet, hearing all the public comment and so forth. i did have a question. so i know there's been a little bit of debate whether miss canada was evicted or a life ownership in her estate. i read in the packet that she was offered a loan at 0% interest at $250,000 and made loan payments in $700 increments permonth, and i just wanted to confirm whether that was true, because i know some of the public commenters mentioned that she was still paying rent, and that the other t.i.c. owners were accepting it, but i wanted to confirm that she was paying a loan. >> president breed: so who was your question to? >> supervisor tang: i'd be happy to hear from both parties because i know that obviously the t.i.c. owners would have to be a party. >> president breed: so in order to answer the question, you would have to come to the microphone, and iris, i'll give you an opportunity to do so, as well. >> yeah, it was abs

on and you very thoughtfully, supervisor tang, got us all to a place we agreed. here is a package that allows for density and height, where we need more housing to be built, but captures back the value for affordable housing and this would eliminate home sf and make it a pointless piece of legislation. that doesn't make any sense to me. i could go on and on, but i'll spare my colleagues. i just want to say this piece of legislation, however well intentioned, is so fundamentally flawed that i believe it is absolutely not only correct but necessary that we go on record as a city opposing it today. >> president breed: thank you, and can i remind the members of the public no audible expression is allowed, you're allowed to use spirit fingers. thank you for your cooperation. >> supervisor stefani: thank you, i want to thank my colleagues for the thoughtful remarks on the bill. i believe it is up to our city leaders and community ies to she our destiny. we have done a great deal to plan for growth. while i acknowledge we haven't built enough housing, i have real concer

supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: so from the information provided, it looks like this supplemental will help fund about 40 temporary positions, is that correct? >> supervisor kim: yes. so we are asking that a portion of this take, approximately 41,150 hours of temporary labor for street cleaning sfervices, which equals approximately 19.8 or 20 full-time positions over the course of the year and will increase our street environmental services program by approximately 8%. >> supervisor tang: okay. and so i don't know if these are the quarter ambassadors that we have currently? is that what kind of the model that we're looking at in terms of these positions? >> supervisor kim: well, it's actually a blend, so it is a mixture of the ambassador programs and the workforce development programs that we partner with our community based organizations and organizations here at the city. and i welcome mr. stringer to answer any specific questions on how public works would spend down the supplemental appropriat

supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you for that clarification on the previous question. mine has to do with the design and i know you mentioned that the planning commission can still -- basically the project sponsors will need to work with the community on the design. so at what point does planning come back into the picture to review it and make sure that it is actually something the community has agreed upon? >> it's more about what the commission has directed the staff to do. so the commissioner was presented with two designs. because the community couldn't -- there seemed to be two points, one contemporary, one traditional am they presented both of those concepts, same massing, but just applied different materials and esthetics onto the facade. the commission thought the more traditional one was appropriate for the neighborhood, so they instructed staff to work with the applicant to continue to refine that particular design and then approve it once staff felt that it was sufficient enough. >> supervisor tang: so, the project design will still need to go back before t
