and the board recognized those as quote fixed or quote variable. depend on the time period you're looking at and the volume range you're looking at. because in any event the statute talks about incremental costs. the costs that it takes an issue to go from zero transactions to one are huge. it may not be -- it may be lesser if you're looking in terms of the extra pennys that have to be submitted for transaction two, three, and four. but if you have a system that can accommodate 20,000 debit transactions or 20,000 debit transactions in a day, and your volume goes up to 20,001. it and those additional costs in hardware and software are incremental as to that additional transaction. which is the reason we think the board was right in saying we don't have to decide which definition of incremental we -- we're not deciding whether these four categories of costs are incremental or not. because >> what about a5. i mean, -- tank action monitoring. [inaudible] have drawn somewhat arbitrary to be sure. nonetheless -- [inaudible] distinctions between joint cost

the matters are still freshly before the board. >> understood. thank you. >> commissioners good evening, for the record, gallagher for the marsh. before i address the findings and conditions i want to address the point mr. williams stated at the last hearing. he was required, notten encouraged, required to appoint in writing a community liaison office prior to issuance of the permit before the issuance of the permit. so before. appointing himself after permit issuance is insufficient for the developer to remedy this violation. the whole point on that condition to encourage neighbors within the mark which he also didn't do was to begin before permit issuance. no one contradicted mr. williams testimony. no one. the violation of this condition is sufficient grounds for you to deny the project in its entirety. if we think it's okay to give a wink and a nod developers who ignore planning commission requirements especially ones who speak to neighborhood concerns, then efr developer is going to ignore these requirements. having said this, the -- marsh no

board meeting of the year and thus may i hear a motion and second for the readoption for the board of education rules and procedures. >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you. >> are there any, and there are no speakers, are there any comments from the board? >> seeing none, roll call? >> thank you. >> wei. >> yes. >> logan. >> yes. >> fewer. >> yes. >> haney. >> yes. >> miss maufas? >> yes. >> mis mendoza-mcdonnell, dr. murase? aye. >> murase. >> aye. >> wynns. >> aye. >> election of officers of the board of education, as to the board and to the public, this type of election is by voice vote and a second is not need nomination and permissible for a member nominated to vote for him or herself in this election, you will be voting by name, if there is more than one nomination, it is only one nomination, you will be voting by saying aye or nay. >> i declare that the nominations are open for the office of the president of the board of education for the 2014. >> yes? >> i nominate fewer, president. >> thank you. >> any other nominations for president of the board of education? >> seeing none,

i understand the concerns of the board. however i also share the concerns that were raised by supervisors avalos, kim, mar, campos and by supervisor wiener. this is a code compliant project, it meets all the requirements for the zoning district and meets all the requirements and policies for the neighborhood plan. additionally this project was approved prior to the adoption of prop c and had 12 units for the subproperty. after propc that has lowered, so any projects with similar dwelling units wouldn't have the higher affordability. it's an opportunity to develop a project that is code complying that provides affordable housing and for that we respectfully request the board reconsider this matter. i'm available for questions. >> question. mr. sanchez, in the discretionary review action by the department there was an item about reoccurring the refinement along hill street. do you know what was intended by that encouragement action? >> i think that it was a balance the commission that had trying to incur some subtle refinement

lee, did you want to make me remarks to the board before we hear the public testimony? >> yes, i know. yes. >> thank you. >> good evening, my name is olsen lee and i am the director of the mayor's office of housing and i just had a very, very few remarks, one is i just wanted to thank, the district staff for the work on this particular transaction, and this is as you know from the discreption and the presentation from mr. gold man and conversations with mr. gold man and assistant superintendent lee, this is not an easy transaction, it is a complicated transaction and it looks at a number of properties, but i think that the bottom line is that this is a transaction where both parties benefit. and i think that that is one of the things that we do here in san francisco well. and we look for sort of the good in the transaction and clearly, this provides the benefits to both the school district and to the mission of my office, which is to create the additional affordable housing and so on behalf of the mayor's office, i truly want to thank you for your consideration of this,

they have developed a guide for a study session for the boards of education. and so, i think that we should do that and figure out where, either we schedule the budget committee and augmented when everybody is available and everybody will come, or we have it as a committee as a whole or a regular board meeting. we went over the structure of how the money is distributed but not so much, how we planned to spend it. and i think that one of the biggest things that we need to do because we already you know, for instance, we are not going to as the superintendent said that we are not going to sit down and develop a whole different structure or process for community input like for everybody other community in the state is doing that, we do have to monitor how the structure we have already is being effective in that regard, do they have the right materials and are they talking about what is going to go into the el cap which we don't know, how could they so far. i think that we have some beginning steps, but we should think specifically plan something about what the ste
