commissioner, my name is ar y*el kelly and i'm the president of the marina neighborhood association, the mca was founded in 2006, we have over 500 members consisting of tenant, home owners and property owners in the marina district, the mca has an 11 member board of directors, a monthly newsletter and monthly board meetings, in 2009 when this commission denied pet free express its permit, the mca did not take a position. we felt it created a deep divide and our board decided to not take a formal position but educate our members and know what was going on. in 2009, pet food express was denied the conditional use permit but with two extremely different conditions, one, pet food express has since opened a store just one mile away on california street so any marina resident can access a pet food express store, it has been an absentee tenant for the last four years, since 2009, many neighbors have grown increasingly frustrated by the graffiti, litter and homeless chaserbacker camping taking place aon a regular basis on lombard street, we filed complaints with various city agencies but the problem

lease, pet food express, i was contacted wi jim moore and tom sing v*its, they asked to meet with the mca board and pet food expresses along with jim moore presented to our board last september, we heard presentations from two local pet store owners, based on their, our board of directors voted 7-1 to deny pet food express's conditional use permit for this location, we are against locating a pet food express at this particular location on lombard street but not against pet food express, not formula retail and not other pet food stores in san francisco, the mca board decided we wanted to take a vote because of the dangerous precedent that this could set for the marina and other residents, if it has your vote of approval today, it sends a message, which is come to our city, buy a lease, try for a permit but if you don't get it, leave your building vacant to rot, don't be a good neighbor, don't clean up your mess and don't try for a permit, this can happen with absentee tenant, since pet food express presented to us, we tried to get them to take responsibility by maintaining their building b

the executive officer of the civil service commission or the director of transportation if it's an mca service critical position. the commission received 64 appeals last year and they resolved 66 appeals in fiscal year 2011-2012. the commission also reviews proposed personal services contracts. that's when departments want to contract out services that arguably potentially be otherwise provided by civil service employees. and the commission determines whether or not the circumstances are unique enough to warrant such contracting out. then, of course, wage setting responsibilities, including the compensation and benefits for members of the board of supervisors and other elected officials. and then finally, the employee relations ordinance administration. so, we hear unfair labor practice charges for employee groups. they're not covered under the [speaker not understood] brown act. in addition to questions regarding bargaining unit assignments, management supervisory confidential designations and so on. then with respect to the commission's budgets, our budgets primarily devote today sup
