if the board decides to wave or reduce the fee, that would be a determination that the board would make based on findings that the nexus study does not apply or does not stand up in this case. the board would today articulate some findings to that effect to me and the clerks office. we would prepare and additional motion for next week's meeting or the subsequent meeting laying out the board's findings to support the waiver or reduction. the board would also today determine whether to wave the fee entirely or reduce it and the amount to reduce it and again, that determination, the amount of the fee whether it's $8,000 or 0 would be a nexus determination by the board. >> thank you, colleagues, any final questions to city staff? all right. seeing none. why don't we go to if there are any members of the public who support the application to wave the fee. seeing none. we have the appellant who would like to provide a rebuttal? >> i'm not sure about whether any person would be evicted from their and whether that affect our condominium conversion or not. i have been a social activist for the p

so i want to make sure this is a ninth person body 4 coming from the board from the mayor. what's itself criteria for today >> the only perimeter was someone who was interested who had an interesting, you know who was willing to serve. someone who brought, you know, not necessarily expertise in one area. the individuals here are definitely interested but they each bring their own background in attributes and this basically was open to whoever wanted to participate and was interested in participating >> how do did the announcement go out? >> you want to come up and talk about this. >> that would be great. come on up >> good afternoon nate i'm donate. it was noticed in the same way there were 2 times we put out announcements and we reached out to our community members to try to get as much diversity as possible there was a lack of interest in the community. we were hoping other supervisors were hopefully investigating folks apply as well. yes, we pilot on facebook and talked to some democratic folks as well >> i'm certainly connected to you and a harvey milk and alice and all

pullman at least had of the current board policy there's no provision for the bona fide board to remove members that are confirmed by the board. we confirmed the current folks but the interpretation was that the board would have to vote as a board to remove the person from the committee. we all agreed there is a process for removing somebody so we did ask ms. pullman to draft the policy to clarify the issue. but mime interpretation was of the current q ta members that should that person or any commissioner have a conversation with the person and that person not wanting to step down until the commissioner who holds the seat leaves the board >> if i may i had that understanding as well. i said that it would be a conversation between the commissioner and the person sitting in the seat >> we said absolutely and it's perfectly appropriate to have that conversation. >> so in this case you couldn't remove the person by have a conversation with the person urging them to resign. >> asking them very politely. >> but you could not formally ask them to leave. >> i wasn't insnaut anything but again

we've discuss this issue with the commission in the past and their board hopes and ass prigsdz. we have limited funding at this point. some money from the department and at the commissioners request we pursueed a grant to expedite the whole plan. we went with the preselected and qualified list to make it shorter and that's a list you have consultants so we'll be working with them >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. corey for staff. there was a board of appeals hearing last time but what may have been a conspiracy to make it easy on me but the 3 items were continued to future dates >> thank you, commissioners if there's nothing further we can move on to general public comment. at this point the public may address the jurisdiction of the stems but on agenda items will be addressed when their afford. you have up to 3 minutes. i have 2 speaker cards >> (calling names). >> good morning, commissioners. i'm jackie. that's j ak e e. i'm here because i wanted to raise the issue of assembly meeting information. you do not have sensitivity and it's listed with other yeah, we have tran

i want to recognize the dedicated support from mayor ed lee and the board of supervisors especially david campos and supervisor avalos and kim. thank you for your enthusiasm and commitment. and this is a rich and vast collection of the mexican museum. this projects are only done with the participation of the elected officials and the community working hand in hand for the same goal. san francisco is the rich cultural heritage. the presence of - i mention a few examples felt mexican enrichment belongs to all the san franciscans who proudly celebrate one of the most important assets. the mexican museums new home is a culture site that is made of various privileges that together represent one of the most complexities in this country. today mexicans all over the world proudly celebrate the independence of mexico which also marks the or begins of california. mexico and california work together and mexican california started the contrast of a very important relationship two hundred years ago. a few minutes ago the office of mayor lee the officials and diminished members of our community met wit

meeting, the board held a brief moment of silence for lawrence daniels and christopher. again, the board president called for a special meeting. that was supposed to begin at 10:30. it's going into the special meeting after stalking about the bike issues. i can say that i peeked in there. it's getting pretty heated. the president of ac local 1555 has choice words for the board this afternoon. but the question of safety has been at the forefront of all board members' minds according to the unions as well. we did speak with chris fin, a member of the union, who wanted to let the board know how difficult it is to be a train operator in the bake of the -- wake of the two deaths. >> we had two train operators in the audience. both had to have surge ril because of their work here -- surgery because of their work here and i think in light of the unfortunate events, we would hope there would be more important placed on the training. >> reporter: another group is calling for b.a.r.t. to face criminal charges. th

each member of the public may address the board for up to 3 minutes. if it is demonstrated that comments by the public will exceed 15 minutes, the president may continue public comment to another time during the meeting. 12341234a let's >> let's hear from the first speaker. each speaker will have 2 minutes. >> good afternoon, members, don't accept money from the friends of the library. what must be understood that is coming into city hall is coming into belly of the beast. everything in city hall is ripping off those public assets and corporate interest. as private citizens there are barriers to keep us from learning the truth and barriers to keep us out of city hall and barriers to speaking. you don't see it on camera, the supervisors have no reservation about showing their contempt while we are talking. the virtue of democracy depends on empowering the vigilant and that is why the supervisors deserve the greatest contempt. it's a complete reversal of accomplishment of democracy. marry antonette who is not in on the graph. most of the people in this ro

given this is actually the first appeal the board has considered. i would like to ask our department city attorney if you have additional advice to provide on this appeal. >> sure. deputy city attorney john gibner. in june the city allowed a condominium project. it can convert a building to condominium after payment of a fee that is setforth in the ordinance. understate law and the constitution when the city imposes development fees such as this, the city must base those fees on a finding that there is a nexus between the amount of the fee charged and the impact of the fee. so before the board adopted the condominium oh conversion ordinance in june, the city hired a consultant on the impact of the affordable house is in the city. that study was part of the board's packet when you considered the condominium conversion ordinance in june. that study conclude that there is a nexus between condominium conversion and the need for affordable housing. that converting two condominiums creates additional need for affordable housing in the city and concluded th

the next part is what the board approved. i found it fascinating and interesting that the mayor would be commenting on what he wanted. the board has made it clear since then that supervisor breed's resolution we still want to have this program. i think it's clear that out of what these arguments didn't approve and what the board did approve and the resolution in the packet. you see the board is saying, puc come up with this program, here is a parameter, we are giving you the ability to change them as the information comes out and you can change the program up and that's what the puc staff has been doing all this time is modifying the program, working with labor, trying to figure out what that mix is and up until august 13th, when the program got shut down by the puc commission saying stop working on it without addressing how we can make those concerns better. the next category is the build out in jobs that i think miss mall colm did a good job of describing. eyes -- i'm a former labor, one of the things was about shell. after

with my hope because there are appointment opportunities for the board and the mayor that we and the board will make recommendations to the mayor as well. and my hope is ail 4 of those individuals will have a role through this body or wherever. the only caution would be to make sure that we do come back within a month to move this forward. and my hope they'll be more attention paid now. i appreciate the comments and a thank you very much >> just out of respect for my colleague i want to walk away with a specific date and bring this matter back to rules and i would be more comfortable with that if we can. >> supervisor cowen do i have any comments. >> yes. i do thank you very much. i think supervisor breed that was a motion you put out? >> yes. a motion to appoint john to seat 6 and maggie to seat 7. and to continue seats 8 and 9 to the meeting of which looks like the 21st. >> the 21st. >> of november. >> oh, it looks three weeks away. okay. i can second that supervisor campos is on board with that >> i will support the motion. and it's important that while we have two names to name th

i want to recognize queen cougar in the board of supervisors. she was crowned miss san francisco leather. as the oldest living person who holds this title, it is our honor to recognize queen cougar for her great work and the work she's done in this community. she really has lived up to the great spirit of leaders like harvey milk. we know that she has been given many accolades in the past including my colleague scott wiener. but i want to publically thank her and recognize her work because i'm in awe of her commitment, i'm really humbled by everything she has accomplished by her talent and bravery and originality. queen cougar, it is my honor to recognize you today. [ applause ] >> i want to thank everyone for this honor. i appreciate being honored by this chamber. when i first became involved, people asked me do you want to be a political person? i do not. i know that so i became political just because of the nature of what i was doing. to be recognized by my peers and fellows is the highest compliment that i can be given. the things i did over

the unified school district san francisco supreme court the board of education approved by the a vote of 5 yeses and settlement prudent to the district will resend a educational benefit allow the employee to retroactively resign and pay the employee the sum of 5 hundreds as a petition for a writ of men and women democrat and all possible claims against the district will be dropped. in arbitration matters and case and u.s. grievance number case no. ar b12 dash 2 r-7 the board of education approvals a supplement prudent to which the district will make 62 bargaining unit members. cumulative totally $500 plus in exchange for a dismissal claims relatively to the 2012 low implementation. do we have the vote on the last item >> 4 i's one a bit estimation. >> so in the matter of g l vs. the san francisco unified school district case no. 20168 percent 2 the board of education gives the authority of the district to pay up to the stipulated amount. in the united education matters pe rb case the board of education approved by the vote a supplemental prudent to which the district will pay 3 hours

>> the board would need to discuss that. have given a certain amount of leverage to the negotiating team. we trust in them to use the leverage the board has given them. >> that is not a yes or no. >> that is correct. >> so there is still room to move? >> i am not going to say whether or not there is. all i will say is that we have set parameters. and the negotiating team is responsible for using them. >> it is interesting. when we get to these phases of negotiation, it comes down to -- a deal or a strike. usually what happens is we start seeing the shell game going out where we agree to various things. and the next thing, bart has agreed to increase its offer. and the public says, okay, i will live with that. is that what you see happening this time? >> that is hard to say. my personal outlook speaking independently here -- the unions have made clear to us that it must go their way or the highway. that is what we have been hearing, which means it is either caving in or excepting a strike. where the board will come in that reg

so i could live with it going to the one after the board meeting. what i'd like to do before that is, not to -- i want to [inaudible] go three all these things twice. i actually would like to duplicate the [inaudible] for item number three and send that forward as is with a new amendment to -- that little minor we did. submit that forward to the full board and /kaoeup one in committee. the one in committee i would like to actually make some new language around clust ering so that it's consistent with what i've been saying and what i have told members of my community that we would extend not the cu for new mcd's, not from 500 feet, but to 1000 feet so that would be consistent with what my word has been in terms of making sure we stay with the rate of this part of district 11. that would be my -- my amendment would be on page 10, change /-g from, like, line two, number 500, crossing out to 1000 and i believe -- would there be any other places i need to make, mr. star, an amendment? >> [inaudible]. >> i don't believe so, but i'll defer to the city attor

the conversation with the b.a.r.t. boardtor next. >> and preparing for a morning commute without b.a.r.t. trains? how bay area transit groups will help out if b.a.r.t. workers walk off the job. ,,,,,, ,,,,,,,, we are the cooling off pe . >>> b.a.r.t.'s negotiations with union's coming down to the wire right now. and workers will go on stroke this friday if they can't strike a deal. >> the san francisco bay ferry plans to ramp up its service running ferries for the entire day, should a stroke occur, and there will be extra boats and an additional landing opening at the ferry building to reduce congestion. b.a.r.t. and the unions are taking the day off from negotiating today. despite talking all week long, there is no deal. >> and we spoke with the board member who is past the mid-way point in terms of what they're offering. there is progress but the question is how much? >> i would beg to differ. we -- in negotiations, both sites start at unrealistickens, let's say, but the goal is to come to the middle, to a realistic conclu

so i had a couple of questions on the memo that you served to the board of supervisors. one of my questions of course is on the actual value of the financial benefit conferred upon conversion to condominium. i apologize we took a break and i have to go back to it. but, in your memo, the mayor's office of housing suggested that there has been an immediate benefit. it's hard for me to scroll through. i had this prior to the restaurant appreciation month. it was based on the value that was estimated. i want you to let us know how it was estimated and what it was based off of. >> i'm with the mayor's office of housing. per the memo we came up with a clear benefit for all tic owners and benefits because we don't know how much they put in terms of the down payment and what her monthly mortgage payments are. it's hard to say with a lot of specificity. we pointed mostly to the nexus study. predominantly it's the benefit around increased equity in your home through a superior form of ownership. as a condominium owner and a joint owner as a tic and the banks recognize that. they re

partnership with the mayor's office and the board of supervisors. as to recommendation 4.2 to exam collaboration with regional counties to develop programs and address the needs of high kiss risk and at risk youth, this requires analysis. we've reached out to our neighboring probation department as to a reasonable alternative to the division of the juvenile justice. unfortunately those conversations were not fruitful. there's new leadership including the leadership in our department and i'm happy to reinvigorate that conversation. in conclusion the juvenile probation department in conjunction with the other city response in the mayor's office appreciates the work of the civil grand jury and this opportunity to highlight law cabin ranch and focus on the needs of the facilities and the youth and the community it serves. >> are there any members of the public that like to comment on items two and three. >> no comments from the civil grand jury yet. through supervisors, cohen and tang. >> my name is today and i'm the chair of the the juveniles commission

there's adopted and favored to the full board? okay without objection that's the full order >> madam clerk, call item 4. >> it's an ordinance with the planning code rifkt use district. >> and supervisor cowen has requested we continue this item to october 7th. so i'll taken a motion after public comment. is there that i public comment on the expected motion to continue. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues can i have a motion to continue it one week on october 7th. item 3 is a hearing directing the transportation protection agency on muni bikes >> i thank you and i called for this hearing. and colleagues that hearing will focus on double parking including the impacts on our transportation city and county system as well as the transportation policies and endorsement around double parking. it's fairly rampant in commercial corridors. private vehicles we see them stopped in the middle of the street has the drive runs errands and at the scene of the accidents are stopped in the middle of streets even if there's a place for

which the majority on the board supported. john berry joins us now. will remain in his post until governor jindal chooses one of two people picked by the nominating committee to replace them. john berry is also an award- winning historian and author of several books, including, "rising tide:the great mississippi flood of 1927 and how it changed america." john, welcome to democracy now! talk about the significance of what happened last night in the lawsuit you have spearheaded. lawsuit is more important in anything that happened to me. because of the destruction of the land in the industry is not responsible for all the destruction, but is responsible for a good part of it, then increased storm surge attacks our levees. suing to getlly them to abate the problem, to make the storm surge go back natural -- i hear you saying you just lost me. is that the case? i will keep talking, anyway, in case you didn't. surge comingtorm against our levees has increased because of the loss of the land, so we're trying to get either the companies to fill in that boarder

lack -- lafco and the board we tried to bring the rates down and in relation to build out. >> you tried to get the rate down? >> we got the rate down to 11.5 cents. when i joined the puc in april it was at 14.57 cent from 12.8 cents which is what general manager presented to the board of supervisors last september. we got the rate down primarily from changing the resource mix from the products we purchased from shell. we also reduced our own internal budget and there were some changes that happened in the market that allowed us to bring the customer rate down and finally shell agreed to a few changes to the contract that were favorable to us, small, but they made a difference. >> what were those changes? was that in the letter issued in late july or other changes? >> no, that letter referred more to the resources they were trying to procure on our behalf. one of the things they agreed to do was to reduce the $11 million collateral by $1 million in the first year and half million in the second year. because we asked them to calculate the rates with more of the unbundled recs, the price w

across the board, particularly at the department that i headed. i would rather, instead of to how youh ideas as create flexibility so you can move money around within the areds of sequestration or you but people to do trigger sequestration. that would be a more responsible approach. if you could get one thing from , i was told more flexibility. >> listen, right now they're sinking in quicksand. they would take whether the rope you will throw them. >> mr. secretary, was wondering if you'd entertain a question on an unrelated topic, the serious topic up and ghazi. -- and benghazi. >> >> of institutional congressional reforms do you propose so that they look ahead to priorities. >> i would be interested in leon's answer to this as well because we have both been through the window when it comes to considering budget process reform. i think it is a bit of a panacea for this is the reason i say that, and i am the last person i believe who brought budget process reform to the floor and actually had a chance of getting something passed. my reason for sayi

in addition i have a very special thanks to the 11 members of the board of supervisors who unanimously approved the museum and their represented by kim and cowen and mary and avalos and campos. thank you without your unanimously support we couldn't have done that. and i want to thank other including willie brown and a tremendous thanks to marry ed lee for his tremendous support. i would also be remiss not to thank the staff agency steve and director john of the planning department and to all city commissioners respective of their office. today, there are several former commissioners my good friend christina and others who are great supporters of us (clapping) we also have to thank a huge thank you your development partner jeffries and his family for they're truly amazing support for bringing about the mexican museum. in closings i want to acknowledge peter rodriguez the founder of the museum. we have this sister and brother lloyd rodriguez representing the family (clapping) i want you to then please stay and enjoy the celebration together we can it gives me great pleasure to introduce

of supervisors, a lot of positive testimony from the community at the board. and that, that completed, the phase one, milestones for the project, under our exclusive negotiating agreement. >> this includes two parcels and we hoping to include the pg&e, and we will talk about those as well. and so this is too small to read on the screen, i apologize for that, but this is essentially the exhibit to, the exclusive negotiating agreement and it includes all of the phase two milestones. we will be doing a larger set of transition documents that we will have attached to them, the purchase of the agreements for this 28 acre sight. and feedback as well as provide, the early coordination with the planning department so that we all work as a city team moving forward. a couple of things that come out of that, basically a road map for the environmental review work that we need to do as well as the approval process that we need to move this project through with regards to the sequa, we are looking at an ir that addresses the transportation and air quality and noise, and as w

it requires a number of debts for the agency and the board of supervisors to take and also the state. the first step was for the department of california housing and community development to certify the exact number of units that the agency had destroyed and so in 2002, and 2003, they submitted documented to verify the number of units that had been destroyed in several of the older project areas. h cd found that 7,900 units needed to be replaced and that was part of the 2113 obligation. the legislation required that the board of supervisors adopt amendments to redevelopment plans acknowledging the replacement housing obligation and extending particular redevelopment plans so that tax increments can continue to flow after the expiration of those plans. some of the first redevelopment plans to be amended by the board of supervisors were the golden gateway, the indian basin and the hunter's point project area, subsequently the south beach redevelopment plan, the western additional a2 and the buena plan were extended to allow for funding for replacement housing. after 2013 was adopted the
