>> 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

five. >> supervisor tang: we have mr. jones here. >> public: yes. sara jones. i'm not the resident expert on the design features of different types of bicycle ways. my understanding is -- and i'm going to ask brian of the bicycle coalition to come up to clarify. but my understanding is that the idea was to specifically call out bicycle lanes rather than what we term shares which is a street shared with bicycle facilities. i will let brian speak to that. >> public: thank you. this is guidelines and it's very confusing. but a class two or class four cycle track or bikeway are what you see painted on the feet or fully separated protected bike lane, the idea not exempting class three bikeways is we feel they are sub standard. they are just paint on the ground. so, should the s.f.m.t.a. water down a project, we would encourage the board of supervisors to review that on appeal. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. i will leave that issue alone. thank you for eliciting that. and you said something that is very important, which is th

thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon again chairs and supervisors. i am here today to speak in favour of the transportation sustainability fee. as other speakers and supervisors have pointed out, our unfunded needs for transportation capital and operating currently grow into the billions. we do not have, at this moment, be clearly identified source of funding to address those needs. if not did this, than what? i look to members of this board to take our needs seriously. to act within their powers to address them and to come up with some reasonable proposals to help fund our many and growing transportation needs. to me and to our coalition, folks you have also heard from, a transportation sustainability fee seems like one piece of the puzzle to help address that. it is troubling to me that we, after going through a lengthy process, many others mentioned the transportation 2045 task force that we left that process with a plan and we still have no identified task forward to find the n

mentioned. >> supervisor tang: okay. that was it? deputy city attorney? >> in the document that supervisor safai distributed at the start of the meeting, i believe there are a number of different proposed amendments around timing, including the ten to 30-days, the timing for the clerk's office to review the -- the supervisors or members of the public request for review. is the committee making these amendments subject to changes next week or just removing them from the docket now just so you can make all the changes next week. >> supervisor safai: just through the chair, i think unless somebody disagrees, do no less than ten days but no more than 30 days. i think that was what we had worked out along with the deputy city attorney along with our two offices. >> and then, there are a number of different -- a number of other changes about the process and timing on pages four and five. >> supervisor safai: right, along review and goes into 48 business hours. i didn't read those into the record because i thought we had submit

>> supervisor tang: these are impact fees in general. maybe the staff can answer that. >> supervisor safai: i was referring to the idea of this new fee that is going be added to nonresidential. and then having the opportunity to come back and look at the feasibility and what impact that has on incentivizing or disincentivizing. i think it's going to be a positive report based on the passionate feelings of the planning commission. >> supervisor tang: why don't we turn it over to ms. jones? >> yes, sfmta planning director, sarah jones. there is a review of all city-wide fees every five years, but the board of supervisors also included analysis on a three-year cycle of economic feasibility. >> supervisor safai: is that currently in this ordinance or is that company wide policy? >> yes, we've incorporated into our budget supporting the planning department in conducting that feasibility study. >> supervisor safai: if we pass this today, how much time will pass before we have understanding of the fiscal impact and feasibility of this, three ye

. >> supervisor tang: thank you. before the last speaker if there's anyone else who's name i didn't call, line-up up. >> public: good afternoon. i didn't mean transportation policy associate. like the others who have spoking, we appreciate the changes that have been made to the appeals legislation from last week. we also echo the concerns that were made by others today about the appeals legislation does not include exemptions. we think this is a mistake and these projects should be exempt from review. the s.f.m.t.a. needs to be able to act with speed and independence to achieve vision zero and also to improve transit and make it easier for people to walk and bike. thank you very much. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker, please. >> public: i'm paula katz. i support this ordinance because it's about time to create a procedure to review certain s.f.m.t.a. decisions. i would support a fee waiver for all residents because it is hard for individuals to raise money for this and we still want their participation and

thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. for the record, my name is karen knowles-pierce, and i am currently and have been since its inception the chair of the treasure island yerba buena island citizens' advisory board. thank you for this hearing. i urge you to consider passage of this -- of this item before you today. i've heard the people who are against it, and we are certainly, all of us who sit on the c.a.b. and have been since 2001, have always been big supporters of sailing center and want to be sure that there is not only space but sufficient space for them to have these important and exciting times in their lives, learning how to sale and learniand -- sail and learning how to be a team member when you sail. i'm a sailor, and when i wrote my letter for consideration for the c.a.b., the state of clipper cove was what urged me to do this. when i first saw the original 400 slip, it was large. when it was reconfigured, i was very unhappy with the untenuator because it stuck way out to t

supervisor tang: the imaginal -- original adds recommended. can we do that without objection? okay. and then we will, so now we have one version, again, and that one, two we have to make another amendment to that version or is it already done? okay. great. can we have a motion to continue that item to make the 21st? okay. thank you very much supervisor peskin. and staff. okay, now if we call item three. >> item number 3 is a report to provide the implantation and x-linked -... >> supervisor tang: supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: thank you i have called this hearing so we can hear from our central market tenderloin citizens committee regarding the agreement called for under the central market and tenderloin pay area expense tax exclusion. for anyone that is unfamiliar with these agreements, they are a unique feature in which there is a contract between the company's participating -- companies participating in the payroll explosion, and the city. no other tax exclusion that the city provide such as stock option tax exclusion includes a feature

thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker please. >> public: hi. matt. i don't spend a lot of time looking at legislation, but i do spend a lot of time studying our dangerous streets. and i'm worried about any type of legislation that slows the transition of our high injury network to be a safe street network. and so, if adding a stop sign is going to make a street like howard more safe, i don't think we should add 60 days of additional beaurocracy, three months, six months while more people get injured and killed on those streets. i would encourage you to exempt high injury network streets from this legislation, thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker. >> public: good to get one of these hearings. i don't know why you move from four to five, but i would support lowering the number of supervisors that are required for this measure. we think this is a good first step, but obviously, in our opinion, the s.f.m.t.a. needs decided structural changes that we hope will be forthcoming in the future. thank

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

>> 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

. >> president breed: supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: thank you, today i will ask to continue this item for a week, given i think there will about be some amendments made at the state level addressing concerns from the a.c.l. -- a.c.l.u. >> president breed: supervisor tang has made a motion to continue until may 8th, 2018, seconded by supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i'm glad that the sponsor of the legislation is continuing it, still reeling off the mistake made on item 39. so i would like to request that we honor this commitment to

thank you, supervisor tang, for making this recommendation. we know that sfmta is not a perfect organization and they certainly have their challenges. and so we believe that we should be finding solutions for the sfmta to do more to dligz on the vision zero projects faster and not to slow them down. thank you for giving me this opportunity to express my organization's concerns and the safety that it will lead to on our streets. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. new name is alyssa kias and i'm here representing spur. thank you for the opportunity to comment on this item. the appeals legislation before this committee as currently drafted will hinder the city's ability to provide a functional and a sustainable transportation system. afmta must do more to make transit more reliable and further and to make our streets safer for biking and walking and to deliver them faster. but this ordinance will seriously curtail the sfmta's ability to deliver crucial transportation projects across our city.

chair tang, members of the committee, john updike, director of real estate. yerba buena gardens is bounded by market to fulsome, 3rd to 4th street. it's three blocks on a complex set of cultural amenities, beloved open space, retail restaurants and hotels. all thriving in a similar to the city's real estate department. this resolution seeks approval to effect that transfer at the end of the fiscal year, consistent with the property management plan as approved by the state department of finance and their economics commission. we're pleased to recognize the nature of the development and did not take action to tear apart the partnership of commerce, supporting civic good. resolution authorizes the following actions. city acceptance of the deed from the ocii interest on these three blocks. city assumption of lease and agreements per an assignment and assumption agreement. acceptance by the city of all funds into a separate account consistent with controller direction. the assignment and the jurisdiction of the assets once transferred to the city will be in the re

supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: as you read already, i'm introducing legislation and i want to thank supervisor safai, breed, sheehy, peskin and yee. we're trying to ban plastic straws here in san francisco, because basically, they suck. they can contribute to litter on the streets and harm the environment. so the legislation will do a couple of things starting july of 2019. we are going to ban plastic straws and that includes plastic compostable straws. instead, you would be served with either paper straws or reusable ones. or stirrers, cocktail sticks, toothpicks, cup sleeves, lids, you name it, all of that, those accessories will only be available to customers upon request or in a self-service station. the idea behind that, we as customers don't need the products, but are given those when we enter a restaurant, cafe or so forth. also we're requiring that for large events that take place on city property that consist of 100 people or more, 10% of the beverage cups that are used for the events m

supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: today i am excited about the piece of legislation i'm going introduce. despite many exciting pieces of legislation, this is my favorite in my whole career because i'm trying to attract small businesses to district 4 and partnering with supervisor safai to bring this to his division as well. we're introducing legislation to create a small business attraction program for district 4 and 11. and what it would do is eliminate the notification process for certain types of already permitted uses within our two districts. we welcome other supervisors to join along and the beauty of the legislation is that it still allows each individual senior and district to -- supervisor and district to respect the zoning you have to your current neighborhoods. for example, if there is a permitted use going to another permitted use, there would be no requirement for neighborhood notification. some may wonder, you know, well why should we take away neighborhood notification? for one, i wo

supervisor tang? tang, present. supervisor yee? yee, present. >>> will you join me for the pledge of allegiance. >>> without objection, those meeting minutes will be approved after public comment. madam clerk, please read the consent agenda. >>> items one and two are on consent. these items are considered routi routine. >>> madam clerk, please call the role. >>> on items one and two. supervise supervisor yee? yee, aye. supervisor breed? breed, aye. supervisor peskin? peskin, aye. >>> madam clerk, let's go to the next item. >>> an ordnance to amend the movement code. >>> item six appropriates $146 million of proceeds from the general obligation housing bond series 2018 d. for public housing, low income housing and investment in the mission neighborhood and middle income housing in 2017-2018. and item seven appropriates $52.5 million of proceeds for improvements in seismic strengthening for mental health emergency response and safety and homeless shelter and service, placing all funds on controller's reserve pending the outcome of th

that's right, wu-tang only made one copy and sold one copy, which means i outsold wu-tang clan with my"straight outta charleston." ( cheers and applause ) look for it. "straight outta 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. ( laughter ) 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. ( audience reacts ) >> 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 goin

supervisors tang -- >> supervisor tang: so public comment is now closed. supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: wow. i'm just overwhelmed by the information today that was received. i want to thank the community that came out and told their story. thank you for not giving up on us members of the board of supervisors. we are awake and we're paying attention. i want to recognize the folks that presented, the navy, i think i still see here. i'm not sure if i'm overlooking anyone, but thank you for sticking all the way through this hearing. i want to recognize my staff that's been instrumental in helping us pull this together. one of the things that i'd like this body to consider is possibly having another hearing, maybe another update in september to make sure that we start to be a little bit more thoughtful and more methodical in our approach in how we're going to be overseeing the work plan as well as the information that's out there, so that it does not slip through the wayside and slip through the cracks. i want to also let you know that ocii was prepared to present, but i

. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. and i'm going to actually turn it over to supervisor kim now. >> supervisor kim: well, actually, mr. updike did cover the four corners of what we were discussing here today, but i want to express my support and thanks to many of our stakeholders that are part of the yerba buena gardens initiative from the onset, decades ago when we began the redevelopment. and to mr. updike and his team for working on the transfer. while it seems like a simple action, it actually took us a very long time to get to figuring out a funding stream, what was appropriate to make sure we were investing in the maintenance of this park and it's long-term future, to continue to be a jewel for the yerba buena neighborhood. so i also want to recognize the yerba buena stakeholders, including john and the yerba buena community district for helping to mediate and negotiate this. we do still have a lease that is in negotiation that will come to the board later this year, but i do support us moving forward with the it

. >> supervisor tang: we have motion for amendment without objection. and if we can get a motion. >> make a motion to send this the full board with positive recommendations with amendment. >> we'll do that without objection. thank you, supervisor peskin. item 3. >> hearing on the cleanup time line and disputes between federal regulators and the united states navy on the percentage of parcel g to be retested and the methodology of retesting soil at hunters point shipyard. >> i'm going to turn it over to supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: thank you, good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. thank you for attending today's highly anticipated hearing. first things first. i want to just acknowledge at the chair's request we will be limiting public comment to one minute per speaker to ensure everyone has an opportunity to speak. the department of toxic substance control, the environmental protection agency and u.s. navy, along with their cleanup contractor about the cleanup time line and methodology of cleanup at the hunters point's shipyard. in particular, w

tang: well, good morning, everyone. it's so nice to see everyone here, and of course it's a start by saying let's all give claudine cheng a round of applause. [applause] >> supervisor tang: and of course everyone she works with, the different volunteers, from the different city departments, the different companies that partner with us. i know that this year, she was really focused on trying to make this a really special 40th celebration. heard her at the beginning to trying to make the cam fest at the same time, working with the department to make sure that everybody knows in san francisco what's going on in the month of may, and to see it all being pulled together, i know a lot of hard work went into it. i want to thank all of the volunteers for all the work that you've done. i want to say growing up in san francisco in the sunset district, i really took it fore granted. growing up in a heavily asian district where there were a lot of immigrant families, grew up in a very diverse city. i don't think i realized until ou
