to the board. >> vice president swig: and i was told by the members of the board of supervisors that instead our written recommendation to them to include notice and the opportunity for tenants to review plans, so therefore for you, it's your opinion and for the city attorney, it's a matter of legal advice. does this involve a learning curve and let's involve the community when plans are made. does this have any bearing or is it too late now for our review of this jurisdictional request? >> i don't have any information configu . >> vice president swig: so you would defer. >> i would defer. >> commissioner, the ordinance was reviewed and amendments were added, but it wouldn't affect this jurisdiction in any event because at the time those note any indicatithose notification requirements were not in at the time those permits were issued. there was no requirement by the city for the landlord to provide this notice. >> vice president swig: i think the city has a question. [inaudible] >> clerk: can you put your microphone on, please? thank you. >> how does that, then, comport with existin

if the board so chooses. we wanted to inform the dog -- the board of our apologies to all the parties for the error that staff did make in this, we wanted to make sure we had a hearing tonight to get fully informed the board of the status of the permit and so you can make the appropriate decisions. i'm available for any questions. >> what is your recommendation? i forgot to welcome you. we are happy to, it is really what the board prefers. we are happy to review the sponsor. they would be able to reapply. they wouldn't be a bar from them reapplying within one year because they would be submitting a new design that would comply with requirements. perhaps -- we would be happy for either of the board's preference >> can you tells a little bit about the planning protections on this location and how this conflicts with the protections. >> given that it was a planning protected location and has a higher level of review and we are looking at whether it may distract from historic character of the neighborhood, there w

i don't think that's a good idea for the school board. it happens a lot, but i rather wish that it wouldn't. but the other failure is that with a magnificent textbook, and magnificent starting place, or a discussion, of what were the values of the 18th and 19th century america, the school board has simply done nothing. they ought to take advantage, in my opinion, of this wonderful asset right at their feet or above their heads. now this commission spent a lot of time and effort on the question of land marking the schools. that time and effort was spent in days when the murals were not controversial. the controversy of the sixties had settled down. we were interested in looking at several schools, buildings, for other reasons. we found that, in our statement of significance, which page is 87, we listed why we thought washington was significant, and the ultimate paragraph says, finally, george washington high school is significant as a property characterized by high artistic values, as home to four new murals and one outdoor freeze. all were

at the controls as a board's legal assistant. will also be joined by representatives from the three departments that have cases from -- before the board this evening we have scott sanchez, acting separate do you -- deputy zoning administrator. we also have joseph duffy, senior building inspector representing the department of building inspections. the board meeting guidelines are as follows. the board request that you turn off or silence all phones and other electronic devices so they will not disturb the proceedings please carry on conversations in the hallway. appellant -- appellants, permit holders, and department respondents are given seven minutes to present their case in three minutes for rebuttal. people affiliated with these parties must include these comments within the seven or three minute period. members of the public were not affiliated have up to three minutes each to address the board and no rebuttal. please speak into the microphone for rehearing and jurisdiction request, the parties have three minutes each with no

it's not as though we can't get anyone to carry this over at the board. so i think at this point this's definitely still a lot that can be done there. that's why also i haven't looked at the ballot option. >> i think you raised a good point about having it be implemented territory november 2020 election. i think six of the 11 supervisors are up for re-election. >> that's correct. >> all the odd-numbered districts. so if they would -- they could benefit from participating in the program about higher amounts and different thresholds. maybe that would help speed up the process. >> absolutely. there are a lot of benefits to incumbents and challengers of this new regime. it would reduce their feed to fu fundraise and spend their time doing that. >> so at the next month's meeting if you could report back on whether or not it's been heard at committee, that would be great. we are here to do everything we can to assist to make sure that we can get the wheels of government to turn. >> i will let you know. it may be helpful at some point to have you as chair be acti

will the board be voting on the amended policy statement next month? >> the policy statement will be updated when we actually open up the flat form which we have targeted to the early part of next year as we are developing and he consent process. they mutual funds platform will remain the same and they will be able to access that. as far as opening up the platform to e.t.f. and individual security, that is happening towards the beginning of the following year. the beginning of next year because we need to develop it to indemnify the board and the plan and defer from participant investments. and when that happens, we will update the i.p.s. >> which will occur, the board voting or this new and more open self-directed brokerage account? >> i believe we would bring it to the board to approve it before we opened it up, but again, the timing will not be for next month because there will be other i.p.s. changes as a result of our transition so timeline would be october or november at the earliest, but certainly we can shoot to get the investment policy statem

[reading names] >> thank you to the san francisco school board for the opportunity to speak tonight. my name is margaret ray as i a former employee 18505. i'm here to request that this board began to take responsibility for the current abuse of power among a few at george washington high school. in february, 2019, after i refused to drop a rent a band-aid, higher law firm, willfully and knowingly published my

the legislation is currently with the board of supervisors. as part of our staff work, we made three presentations to the school board about landmark designation. those presentations took place on september 28th, 2015, october 23rd, 2017, and march 6th, 2018. the final staff presentation was on alterations to the building, and generally the city does not regulate the school district. i did reach out to the school board about this hearing and they were unable to attend. if you have any questions about the landmark designation, i would be happy to answer them. thank you. >> as part of our staff presentation, they there will be another presentation. -- there will be another presentation. >> i have some slides here of the murals. let me just bring it up. so victor on a toff did 13 separate murals and an additional three banners that are also done in fresco. two very large murals on either side of the entry stairs and two large murals in the upper hall, and six murals in out cloves that open off the main hall. this is the largest one on the right-ha

the board talked about changes. over the last couple years the committee is working to implement the changes. unless anybody has any additional questions that is it. >> no. some of these things will come up again in the next couple minutes. that concludes item 17. we are on 18 strategic plan. >> public comment on 17? no comment. item 18. item 18 action item. presentation and approval of the 2019-2024 strategic plan. >> we presented to the board the senior staff proposal for a strategic plan looking forward for the next five years. we focused on three main goals. retirement readiness and have -- enhancing member experiences and leadership development and stakeholder engagement. in respect for the board's time i would certainly just ask if there are any questions on any specific sections or if you would prefer i could walk you through. >> as long as this is a living document, i would move to adopt it. i would ask what periods of time would those be reported on? quarterly, semi-annually or annually? >> it would be repor

we'll be notified by the full board when it's passed. just for consideration, i wanted to present that to you. update on the commendation letter. we're in the process of writing it. there are issues related to having it put in the employee's personnel file, but certainly we want to finalize something the retirement board can sign or initially pass or commend the staff for achievements over the past few years, so we'll have that hopefully at the september board meeting. i want to thank everybody who participated -- i think i want to thank everybody who participated in the executive director performance evaluation as well as the actuarial service coordinator. my report was everyone who is here has returned their survey, so thank you very much for that. just wanted to inform you that the governance party indicated they would do a very abbreviated survey to the board members. the draft that i saw had four questions on it, and it's really searching for priorities of the board members of what they would like to look on. i believe that will be d

the board is being asked to approve acceptance of a grant from the water resources board for $3.8 million. this is for the project being described, the baker beach green street project. this is part of the city sewer improvement program. the grant of $3.8 million, the city's matching funds are $8.3 million for a total project cost of $12 million. you will see the project budget on page 7 of our report. the city's matching fund is from the wastewater enterprise and we recommend approval >> chair fewer: thank you very much. seeing no questions or comments from my colleagues, let's open this up for public comment. any members of the public like to comment on item number 2? seeing none, item number 2 is closed. i will recommend to move this to the board without objection. madam clerk, can you call item number 3. >> clerk: item number 3, resolution authorizing acceptance and expenditure of california state senate bill 1 local partnership program formulaic funding in the amount of $2,340,000 for san francisco public works' sunset and parkside streets pavement renovation project. >> chair fewer:

green across the board. these tend to be much more volatile. they go from red to green very quickly. that is just the nature of many of these markets. they are very narrow and specialized. but third from the bottom, again , that is morgan stanley, and you can see it stands out. this is the global fund. again, it is roughly 53% in the u.s. and has some of the same issues that i already commented on before. dfa world tends to be more value-oriented price to book sensitive type fund and it makes sense that growth really has been in favor for a very long and pronounced period in recent times. we expect them to underperform in that type of period. the question is, if value comes back in favor, we expect d.f.a. to really bounce back as an example. i will pause there and see if there's any questions, but that concludes my high-level report. >> board questions? i will start with one. morgan stanley, compared to their peers in that value silo, how are they? >> this is a broad regroup. >> value to value, how did they do? >> we do not get out value for tho

the blacks escape slavery? it was our people. let me also remind this board that you have an obligation to provide a healthy and safe environment for our children to learn. you receive federal funds for our students to attend your schools. you have an obligation under the every student succeeds act. to ensure that our indian students are provided an environment to support their culture, values and moods. this is not about the art that the media and others have trivialized. it is about the pain and trauma, experienced by the students affected by the images in those murals. >> i am amy anderson. i would like to once more, over these three years, have been asking various commissioners to be actively involved in changing what is on the walls of the high school and the main lobby of the school that my kid goes to school at. i would like to make sure that you listen to indigenous voices that have been saying, take it down for over 50 years. being student senate is one of the core values. there may all must be permanently removed from the high school, take it down.

the board's jurisdiction. we ask you refrain from using employee or student names. if you have a complaint about additional employees, you may submit to the employee his supervisor in accordance with district policy. as a reminder, board rules and california law do not allow us to respond to comments or answer questions during the public comment time. if appropriate, the superintendent will ask staff to follow up with speakers. i have two names here for public comment. when you hear your name called, make your way to the podium. you will have two minutes. [calling names] you have two minutes whenever you are ready. >> hello, my name is jeremy lee, i am 16. i pull evolved. i'm here to request funding to purchase new poles for the team. there are 20 of us across three schools and we all go to lincoln high school. currently several of our top vaulters perform extremely well outside the city and have already broken or close to breaking the city records. to progress further, they would require bigger and longer pole

this is the regular board meeting for the san francisco board of education. tonight is august 13, 2019. let's do roll call please. [roll call] >> i want to start this meeting in honor of toni morrison, who passed on august 5, 2019. she said, freeing yourself is one thing, framing yourself as a free slave was another. general information, number one, accessibility information for the public, number two is teleconference information. section b, putting items. we have the approval of board minutes from june 25, 2019. can i have a motion at a second? roll call vote on the minutes.

the board board would have to approve those. our understanding is that there would be legislation introduced for approval in september. table one on page 22 of the report summarizes the acquisition cost and the financing costs for their certificates of participation. the existing leases previously approved by the board of supervisors with the very same use for the police evidence unit the real estate department and public works made a determination that this was not actually appropriate at this time for use by the police evidence. it is a vacant site. the city is paying rent on it. and another use of the property has not yet been determined. the city is committed to a ten year lease so they can't exit the lease. we recommended that the resolution be amended for a report back from the director of real estate on the status of this property. my understanding is that amendment has been introduced and we recommend approval as amended. >> thank you very much. we say, so this is because a 77 brannan street, 777 brandon street that we ha

that probably doesn't help the board out much. this is your last case. you can noodle on it for a while. >> your recommendation is to revoke the permit? >> i think that unless duffy has other ideas. i am looking at the rear yard and quality of the plans here. maybe the inspector has other ideas to resolve this. >> on the grounds they were properly issued? >> they are incomplete. they are new stairs that go to the alley in the back than is not shown as new condition on the plans. the plans are just the fence. >> how much

may i have a motion that the board finds that it is in the best interest of the public that the boardct not to disclose this closed session deliberations. motion made by supervisor ronen, seconded by supervisor mandelman. then without any objection we will not disclose our closed session deliberations. madam clerk, please read the in memoriams. >> clerk: today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the of the following loved individuals, motion made a supervisor walton by the late mr. walton, sr., and on behalf of clifford benjamin henry, on behalf of supervisor brown on behalf of the late hannah sigri, and on behalf of supervisor stefani, on behalf of the victims of the gilroy shooting. >> president yee: colleagues, that brings us to the end of the agenda. madam clerk, is there any further business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes this session. >> president yee: this is our last meeting before our recess session. have a great summer, and we are done with the agenda. [gavel] >> hi, everyone. i'm the executive director of the richmond neighborhood center , and i want to welc

the board of appeals can help us out here. they should not be going back to a site permit to be the trigger for when you pay your permits. there is no precedent for that. secondly, it runs contrary to the whole idea, the whole policy behind why this process underwent modification, meaning the fee schedule in the fee calculation. that is so smaller projects and smaller units could actually pay the fee as opposed to only choosing to build units. building those units isn't into resolving the affordable crowd housing crisis. he should bear those in mind respectfully request that you conclude that the 2019 fee is the appropriate fee and uphold the appeal. >> i'm, counselor? one question. what is the fee difference between the 2019 and 2018 schedule? >> i can give you the gross difference. >> page 8 of the brief. >> we don't have that calculation with us or get let me just answer this, it is significant enough that i do not believe they would pay the fee. in i got it. and q, counselor. >> we will now hear from scott sanchez. >> thank

i must say, i am speaking about the school board. e second thing, it is exposed the bankruptcy of identity politics. this incredible poison that makes us not understand the reality of our society. we need to have a class analysis nevertheless, what this episode has showed me in a very inspiring and optimistic way, how people of all walks of life from all over this country, from around the world can mobilize in a united front to defend principal defense of first amendment rights. thank you. [applause] >> and carol denny, it is no compromise and for this to refrain from destroying a priceless new deal work of art. but continued to promote obscuring it from the students are public at large. the school board is entitled to claim to its deliberate misinterpretation of the work, but a wiser national public knows how brave it is, even today, to acknowledge the exploitation upon which our nation was, and is based. the school board and its supporters are entitled to claim, to have a traumatic reaction to the side of anything they please, inclu
