and guiding principles. the interagencies of the agencies i mentioned we looked at the city policy and the general plan and our transit first policy and the city ordinance we looked at the health care master plans you recently approved and what's the existing policy say about publicly owned land it gives direction about what those resources should be used for we filled the themes and came up with some draft guiding principles. i believe those are the second attachment i'm sorry the first one. there's the highlights here the first one is around open missing those resources. why are we using them for their best potential. the second one is around public benefits and not just your what's normally required but can we go above and beyond >> one of the public services to support and enhance the provision of those services whether 31 they will be transit or the puc operations and so on. i've already talked about innovative approaches to deliver public services and last but not least while those are city properties they're related to in specific neighborhoods so we want to make sure we engage the community and this in

the 18 to 34 age group. but i think more importantly to policies of the city has implemented, and the increased use of alternatives incarceration. i think this is a really important point to make in this because policies are under the control of the city and, you know, the impact it has under the jail population or under the control of the city. some of the policies are also state level but they're legislated policies. so, taking this new information in the lower population, the original forecast, the plans of the 640-bed jail was based on sort of historical data from 1996 to 2011. a lot changed between 2011 and 2013. so, we simply updated the forecast adding the next two years and as you see from this, we have a lower population in 2000 going forward based on the lower average daily population over the last two years. so, the original calculation estimate was 1900, average daily population in 2019 [speaker not understood]. our estimate now based on mere recent data ask a little less than 1500 average daily population. and that does include the impact of public safety realignment. so, kind of using some of the sam

and the department of finance looks at it on a annual basis and only recommends what is consistent with our policy so perhaps we would say that in the language if it were crafted and again the city's future policies can change in terms of what your priorities are and when you're putting go's on the ballot or other finances that would replace that so again saying what we're doing in the future doesn't bind the board from actually doing that but it does set some expectations. >> just a follow up comment on that. i certainly appreciate the importance of crafting the language carefully to assure the voters and the public how we're using the dollars. colleagues i know this is headed to the board. it sounds unprecedented to put the language in and i suggest that we work out the language on future expectations and we don't know the value down the line and in that the language we should explain to the voters the needs are imperative. we need to do this today. we could push this off a number of years but an earthquake could hit in a few years and balance it out with language as the controller pointed out how we're managing the property rates. >> a few questions. you talk about the ballot s

the impact on this. do you have a opinion on this. >> mr. chairman and supervisors i am from the controller's office and the city's policy with bonds after others are retired so it doesn't impact on the tax rate includes other factors in what the total valuation is, what the interest rate is when we sell and retire bonds so that language would need to be crafted carefully so that it's inclusive and doesn't -- so that it fully explain to the public what is happening to insure that the property tax rate is not going up result of the bonds. as you know the property tax rate goes up with cost of living and whether or not the school district or college board puts geo bondos the ballot so the language has to be crafted carefully. the committee looks at this on an annual basis and the department of finance looks at it on a annual basis and only recommends what is consistent with our policy so perhaps we would say that in the language if it were crafted and again the city's future policies can change in terms of what your priorities are and when you're putting go's on the ballot or other finances that would replace that so again saying what we're doing

the planning department. this is for case 2007.175 e for 2004 and 2004 housing element it is for the 2004 and 2009 elements the element itself is a policy document consisting of goals and policies to guide the city's for private and a public developers to meet even though housing demand and it's part of the housing plan 10 east which is administered by the california housing department. in 2004 and 2009 they were prepared consistent with state law. this includes the city's ability to meet the housing allocation which has the housing fair share and it is determined by the bay area government's in connection with the h cd. on march 4, 201133 they had the environmental report. on june 21st the board of supervisors selected and be adapted the 2004 general department plan, however, because of the eir the planning department has particularly revised the alternatives and this is for public review. the primary revisions to the chapter includes the following. number one a new subsection which provides generally types of new hours. number two revisions to the environmental analyze of each all of the evidence this provides clarification for sub extension for the impact conclusions. no changes have been made.

find out who gets the jbs, and surprise, surprise, the jobs go to areas of white majorities of codes in the city. minorities lost huge numbers of jobs downtown. when we look at the policies and who benefits from it, it's clear what's happening, and rather than reducing equity in the city, the policies of the administration are furthering the divide. all that to say, what do we do? what we'd like to talk about is wwhd, and part of the reality of, you know, living here in chicago is that we have to look 30 years ago to look at the last time there was a political ofment in the city, and i think what we have to think about is what do we learn from the movement, and what does it take at this moment to move forward the vision for the city or taking back chicago. this, what we experiment with now, and i don't think it's rocket science, but it's about organizing, strategy, and having a frame work that's clear and political and in everything b l what -- what the issues are and understanding them. it's alive, and it was an amazing inspiration to be a supporter of the chicago teachers in the strike and have a clear perspective. the strike is over, that city is ours, and we want to

implementation of the mandatory composting cycling policy that has helped move the city toward the goal of zero waste by 2020 with an 80% diversion rate. successful implementation of the mandatory composting and recycling policy and expansion of the plastic bag ban to all retailers most of which has helped the city toward the goal of zero waste of by 2020 with an 80% diversion rate. working with the america's cup event authority to develop the cup sustainability plan and zero waste help cut to 85% diversion rate elimination of single use plastic bottles at the event as well as carbon neutrality. advancing san francisco's commitment to becoming the electric vehicle capital of the united states with the installation of over 86 turbo charging stations and 78 charging stations on residential property. so, many of the other accomplish manieses are noted in the draft resolution. and also whereas melanie nutter has led the department in helping small businesses through the energy watch program in the [speaker not understood] business program and reducing energy use in an array of toxic reduction program, supporting the community to the department's public outreach and education program, creating job

identify cost that the city and county itself incurs and then the population of the city as a whole incurs that is separate from the city. finally we are asked to review and report on policies explored and implemented by other cities either in terms of a tax on soda or other initiatives that have been under taken to address this issue. so that's the overview of the purpose of our report and now amanda guma will walk you through the details. >> thank you to hamilton smith for the work on this. >> thank you supervisors. as several of you have already noted there is extensive scientific evidence that we found in our research on the connection between consumption of sugary sweet beverages and chronic conditions particularly diabetes and obesity. as the american heart association found, maximum recommended consumption of sugars per day, added sugars per day for women is 6 teaspoons and 9 teaspoons for men. the regular drink has 37 teaspoons. diabetes has increased and increase in rate of chronic conditions. the number of american adults of obesity has more than doubled and diabetes has doubled and the percentage for children has tripled over the past 30 years. we want to better

and policies directly to the residents. this new civic engagement tool put policies in a more accessible and modern format that brings down the barriers to assessing, understanding and navigating the laws of our cities. we do live in the global center of technology and innovation here in san francisco and i believe it's incumbent upon everyone here in city hall to find ways for technology not only to impact our residents' daily lives but also drive further civic engagement. the law i'm introducing today is very simple and straight farad. we have a law current lip on the books that states private and public garages shall be used only for the storage of automobiles. ~ forward this law doesn't make sense. it's out date and had certainly discriminatory towards bicyclists and other people that store personal items in their garages. this outdated law came to my attention directly from a constituent in district 2, gary rab kin on a recently launched san francisco.org website. he he left a comment saying this old law was discriminatory against bicyclists and didn't make sense in a city trying to encourage alternative forms of transportation. i fully agree. so, the simple law i'm introducing today to the out

the other way. i know a lot of people that have properties of rental units and they keep it off the market because of so many policies with the cities and some are afraid to have tenants. if they don't to have realize the income, it happens a lot and it makes perfect sense to me. i don't have those concerns. our family has rental units outside of san francisco. we are not as concerned because we know we rarely ever have to evict anyone. but we are able to do that if it becomes necessary. i guess i can ask the architect that it would be possible to make the secondary unit a little bit larger but you would use your functionality, is that right? >> right. there is a couple of issues going on here which is that program required for a master bedroom that has an on suite master bath. it's not huge. with that and a closet and the nature of the building which by the way, it is an 1880 structure. it has approximately three 1/2 foot setback on the north side from the adjacent building. that in and of itself restrict this area. it was not a nice unit, it didn't make sense. it would also require the rejiggering of the existing bathroom and a lo

see the office of small business and the administrative code specifies additional responsibilities and the most notable among them are that the small business commission shall set policies for the cityarding small businesses in order to promote the economic health, of small businesses, of the small business community in san francisco, its employees and its customers. and to make recommendations to the mayor on rates, fees, similar charges, with respect to items coming within its jurisdiction. in addition, additional responsibilities as put forth in the administrative code is to review all legislation effecting small business and making recommendations to the board of supervisors, review the rules, regulations adopted by the city departments that effects the small business and recommend the modification that will promote the health of small businesses and conduct investigations under its power of inquiry in any aspect of government operations effecting small business including holding hearings, this today and taking testimony and to make recommendations to the mayor and board of supervisors and so, the small business commission, and its current strategic plan, has four particular cat

the department of public health and the planning department to create a healthier services master plan that would serve as a comprehensive policy document that identifies both the health care services that are currently in place in our city, including any gaps in those services. this master plan is a tool that will help this board and other policy makers in the city and county to be smart, informed -- to make smart informed decisions about the critical health care needs of the city. the legislation also created a consistency determination process so that future medical uses seeking to open or expand in san francisco must show that they are meeting the health needs of the city before they receive any kind of land use approval. at the time this legislation was passed, the city was facing, if you may recall, pretty significant deficits, and we, in fact, did not have any money designated to fund this effort. and i am grateful to the department of public health and to the planning department for undertaking the very enormous effort in putting together a master plan without any additional funding. i want to especially thank and recognize director hes barbara garcia and john ram ~ for embracing this legislation and for directin

and similarly named but little bit differently named versions of the ordinance have been in effect since the early 1990s and it has long been the main -- the platform, the policy tool by which the city has worked on bringing its fleet of vehicles. in 2010 there were some significant amendments to it and it took on its current name of hacto. primarily some of the bigger changes was it did add a component about transit first and also the whole concept of fleet reduction. i'll mention a bit more about that in a minute. one important thing to realize about hacto is that the way it was established is enacted by the board of supervisors. it applies to light duty vehicles within the fleet. so, it's not the entire fleet of vehicles that the city owns, does not include heavy duty vehicles. it is vehicles up to 8500 pounds, gross vehicle weight. so, that means basically passenger vehicle, primarily passenger vehicleses and light duty trucks. and -- nor does it include because effectively waived by one means or another public safety and emergency vehicles. so, the main components, then, of the ordinance as its was adopted by the board of supervisors and as it has been placed with the departmen

corridors, and the others that are going to serve the south east and part of the city in the eastern neighborhoods and other rapid corridors throughout the city and then finally, more of the policy or the way that we do business side of things is that a set of recommendations about the project delivery and both the approaches to the project delivery as well as the funding of the new revenues that it will take to deliver all of the projects that we know and need. and we identify our system research into ways to more efficiently, deliver both small and large types of projects and those are included in among the sftp recommendations. and we just completed a major round of out reach on these recommendations, and one of the key features of this round of out reach is that we partnered with about eleven different community-based organizations to reach, communities of certain, and non-english speaking communities and so we got a lot of broad participation in the out reach and to summarize the main things that we heard back, were first of all over all, we heard people write, in a broad sense, that these five categories resonated with people, as priorities. and really the feedback that we

including sewer, water, natural gas and road resurface and so taking a look at infrastructure projects when they take place, there is the city it does have a policy and around, you know, the city does have kind of a mandate that once a road is resurfaced no work can be done for five years. and in terms of trying to sort of aggregate, you know, all of the road work, happening at one time. and so, cpw does not come in, and then, puc comes in and then, pg&e comes in and so, the work to try to aggregate all of that work together at one time to minimize the impact and so i just jotted down a few things and this does not have to be, you know, extraordinarily detailed or subnative and but it provides an opportunity for the commission to be able to forward some thoughts, recommendations, suggestions, questions, that the supervisors may want to ask, and so, i just would like to hear your thoughts and you know, what experiences have you had? or you know, merchant corridors that you work with and you are familiar with that you have had the feedback about, you know, when these infrastructure projects relatively simple, and not like the central subway, but re

disability to take public transit downtown and the brt wants to make it harder for people to get to the bus stops. i wish the city would come up with one policy so the the people in the disability community would know what the city's policy is about people who have disabilities and who work downtown and how are they supposed to get downtown. thank you. >> thank you. next we have charles minister. >> thank you. charles minister, a member of the senior and disability action. i would like to second what the sister said earlier about the obvious cost and the necessity of this. i don't hear a dime being spent for new transit vehicles. i use the 38 and my wife uses the 38 everyday. the biggest problem i find on the line is that in rush hours there are not enough seats in the front to take care of the disabled people. as a senior i have to vacate the seat to move to the rear of the bus. this is for the downtown interest where they are the retail giants to get the workers downtown quicker pure and simple and get those shoppers downtown pure and simple. this is unconscionable to spend so much on this project. you have people as we've heard earlier her

the growth and successful school choice. they are designed specifically for that. if you have a district like new and all of the sudden, the policy of the city is no more growth in charter schools, and fact we will be detrimental to that growth, that is to be in direct conflict with federal programs that exist. has alwayson, it been that the federal government , one of the roles is to disseminate information. can we build and share in that success? committee isur interested in helping facilitate more education options that would offer more success. that is why i am so strong in saying and feeling i believe mayor de blasio's policies are going to hurt kids and their families and they ought not go into effect. >> i'm with the naval postgraduate school. i was listening to the story on at the press club this afternoon. one of the things that was interesting was the whole subject was on collaboration. i wonder what kind of collaboration exists in the k-12 and learning from other schools for other cities. how do you promote that? in unionsople not opposing this? >> first of all, collaboration for me comes from the ability to exchange ideas and inf

terms of having a good balance between the mayor and superintendent in terms of following the educational agenda which should be aligned between state policy and city policy, there is a delicate balance to be had with community and neighborhood groups who want to be active participants of the educational futures of the children, requires a delicate balance with collective bargaining sector and any descanting granny in these groups spiraling out of control. especially those jurisdictions that are trying to be aggressive in terms of implementing reform. we have been fortunate to have a good relationship with the secretary, secretary duncan who wants to be in my city yesterday but the snow storm detour him a bit as it did myself. took hours by train to get here. we are doing some good work, some schools have 100% graduation rate, 100% college enrollment rate but we also have some really, really hurting schools with children i classify not as the poor but the poor or for. everything from the home to the community to the schools they're located, lack of resources, really contributes to that cyclical cycle. having said that we are forming some incredible

the collisions are happening and changing lives in our beautiful city. we need this city to adopt a vision zero policy. as a victim myself with permanent damage as well as bills and debt caused by the driver's collision, i find it insult to injury that the person who caused the accident isn't responsible for the bills but instead the victim's name is on them. nor is the driver ticketed or treated like they've done anything wrong. so i ask what is their incentive to be a safer driver when they suffer no consequences. you can get a suspended license and go to traffic school for speeding tickets, why not at least that for hitting a human being. thank you. and please support walk sff and the sff bike coalition and vision zero policy. >> thank you for your courage. >> commander. >> yes. this time i like to bring up layla and my apologies. the presentation has her name misspelled. >> thank you to the bicycle coalition for their leadership on this issue. >> thank you so supervisor campos and thank you supervisors and commission. my name is layla and we're non prove i can been in the city for 40 years. helpin

to encourage them, continue to think about what happens to the environment and all of these other things as we make policies here in the city and county of san francisco. so, thank you all for indulging me. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor breed. all of these item will be appropriately referred. mr. president, that concludes roll call for introduction. >> thank you, colleagues, why don't we now go to general public comment. madam clerk. >> at this time the public may comment generally on item of [speaker not understood] including item on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. please note that public comment is not allowed on those items which have already been subject to public comment by a board committee. please direct your remarks to the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors and not to the audience. if you would like a document to be displayed on the overhead projector please clearly state such and then remove the document when the screen should return to live coverage of the meeting. >> i want to apologize. i was just alerted by my colleagues we still had a couple of legislative it
