how did you come to select the priorities? >> the first was around the condition of those properties. we are focusing on properties that have not received a significant amount of capital to date. these are properties that have not received a lot of attention. secondly, i think the ability, we try and think of our capital program looking at all the funding sources together. so again, looking at the funding source that from the geo bonds and other partnerships, these are the properties that didn't have a plan in place for them where the needs have been identified but we hadn't identified a clear funding source and third is utilization and just a sense from within the recreation and parks department of how these facilities are being used and whether not they play a core role in the community. >> is there a plan continually support and maintain these open spaces? >> i think that the plan is to continue to use our existing general fund resources to support the maintenance of these spaces as they are maintained now. we acknowledge th

what are the priorities bills? >> no down. he position starts talking about minimum wage, you have to look at what the president is actually doing. he's exacerbating the problem. i worked as a gardener in arizona, and then i realized i was a white collar person, so i decided to get a job at the general cinema corporation, wearing my bowtie and powder blue coat. i realized i wasn't even making minimum wage. guess what? i was exempt from the minimum wage, but i was a kid. i didn't care. i learned how to work. every time the president decides that he wants to just raise the minimum wage, you're going to take this whole group of youth and prevent them from getting an opportunity, because employers are going to look at that and say if it's going to cost more for labor -- >> can i do one follow up? that's never proven to be true. many, many ceos, many of those ceos great with it, going all the way back. >> and if they want to retain good quality employees, they'll make sure thif a good competitive market. in arizona they don't have a

thank you. >> the 350 is from the regional transportation plan, when we received it to be the priority for the new starts and the investment strategy for the company bay area, and the funding plan for ptx was included and included 350 million, from a sales tax, extension, or other local sources. >> each of these needs have to have a conversation but i think that the key of the local sources that makes me comfortable and as you all know, the mayor has completed a draft expenditure plan for the sales tax that does not have this number in it but the other local funding sources tbd, sure that makes sense. >> and that is correct, it could be other local or extended and that does not have to be new sales tax it could be extended sales tax as well, i believe, right, scott? so it does not have to be the new one. >> we have modeled out the extension, and what are the assessment and we have calibrated and to put on ranges here and because we are quite sure because we are looking at future values and revenue streams. but the plans will be, and that is the range, and the range of assumptions and i

for the affordable housing waiting list. >> so, how are you determining who gets priority? >> so, it would be first come, first serve, you would have to meet the qualifications that i had just described, so in other words, if you need to have received an ellis act eviction notice and have lived in your apartment for either 10 years or lived in your apartment for 5 years or e ver have a life threatening illness or disability and if you qualify for that and also meet the project eligibility requirements for various affordable housing projects that would require certain income or age requirements, you would be eligible for this priority. >> so, question. what if you're a section 8 voucher and you're in a home and the owner wants to ellis evict you out, how does this ordinance k*fr if at all section 8 vouchers. >> so the fact that you have a section 8 voucher is not relevant to that determination, so if you are ellis acted, you would get a priority placed in line, now if you were already in that line potentially because of having a voucher or some other housing program that yo

>> correct. >> okay. >> to that, the priority, two through six is actually codified. that's the required ordered in the redevelopment plan that add ten years of community process so this was per the bay view communities desire that this should be the order. then because of the infusion of choice neighborhoods and the connection to /alg alice griffith, that's first and then the rest of the order. >> while we're on the subject, if we can i guess, begin to have the conversation around just this whole lottery system. i know that we have discussed this many in the past and we had an update, but it seems as we begin the transfer of these assets, we have a system that's inefficient and i don't know how to address, but i think there should be some type of consideration made, again, as we begin to transfer these assets, it's our duty to make sure that the right folks get into these units and it would make no sense to transfer as assets with a broken system. >> thank you. actually to that end, we have kathy davis who's the executive director of bay view hunters point and she is

that this project extending cal train and high speed rail to the transbay center, is the top priority in the region along with the bart to san jose and i think that was, as scott said really significant as was the designation of this as a project to secure the next round of the new starts funding and reemphasizing that the northern terminal of high speed rail will be at the transbay transit center not at fourth and king and i think that is, i think that is significant. and it was a significant statement from the region and i think that it is certainly in san francisco, in the region's best interest and we need to be working towards getting there. so, i think that obviously there is a lot that was covered in that presentation and it was great. and maybe, we want to kind of schedule forward, drilling down in to some of the areas that the director metcalf mentioned. and i think that starting even right is just at the extension of the box, and kind of understand, what that construction looks like. and that is the imminent domain required to get that space and i don't think that i realized

he's going to discuss some of the priority transit projects. transportation, okay. >> good morning, supervisors, tim with the san francisco mta. i'm the director for strategic planning. i'm going to walk through some of the transportation projects and programs in the eastern neighborhoods and really building upon the presentation that they had this morning especially from director ram. on the planning side where the eastern neighborhoods and other areas where being planned to accept this growth, we looked very closely to look at what were going to be the impacts with the transportation system. as we are working more on these plans we are getting more detail in terms of what it's going to do to the local and region markets. this is just pointing to some of the existing trouble markets and there is going to be more on the east side as it comes to fruition. there is some in the downtown capacity. the system only works with one no matter which line goes into the central core area. they all work together. so really, addressing the core transit capaci

. >> the constitution has put together to fundamental priorities. rights and freedoms of the individual and a strong state, i their mutual obligation to respect and protect one another. the constitution must be stable. this pertains to the rights and freedom of the individual and the citizens. these provisions of the fundamental law are invaluable. life is not stand still and the constitutional process should not be seen as completed and void of life. small adjustments of other chapters of the fundamental law that are based on law enforcement practices, on life itself, are possible and sometimes necessary. as you know, there are plans to make amendments to the constitution, whereupon the supreme court and the high business core will be consolidated. often, these courts interpret laws differently and sometimes quite differently and make different regiments on similar cases -- different judgment on similar cases. as a result, there is legal uncertainty. sometimes there is injustice that reflects on people. the consolidation of these courts will turn co

approving an interdepartmental area for the ocean avenue and approving it making the finding in priority finding and 30 years the connection with this ordinance. i wrought a map for sftv. this is the general balboa park area and those two projects are for the eir stationary plan. of those projects that are in the ordinance contemplated in the ordinance. first is this easement area for brighten avenue and it's the are the sidewalks area depicted and lee avenue which is ocean near fee land and this is the larger adjacent to the property. this is lee avenue and the adjacent whole foods and rental property avalon bay developed. so if you have any questions i'm here from the mayor's office house of representatives authority here that's it. >> colleagues, any questions on item 8 or comments. nicole we'll open this up for public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. >> colleagues, can i have a motion to move the amendments first. so the gentleman has described the amendments and distributed copies and those don't require a continuance that's right >> first can we accept the amendments

the restrooms. we have other priorities that come into play. [inaudible] you want that inspected to come out before you get a that letter. it is not only your obligation, but it is the right thing to do. you want to be disability accessible. you want more customers. the best way to do that is to start planning. when you are choosing, ideally, your inspector would have a background in inspection, design, and construction. that means we have some excellent general contractors out there that could be excellent task inspectors or building inspectors as well. in order to get the legal benefits, the protections that are important, you want your inspection to be under that theory that is how you can get that 90-day [inaudible] as you start to interview your inspectors, i would ask them to a lot of questions. do not rely on just the resume. what you're really need to do is ask a series of probing questions. you want to know what their area of expertise is, how many times -- you want to ask them if they have any references, and if you follow through on t

; and making environmental findings, and findings of consistency with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101.1. ~ uses. >> and why don't we also call item 35. >> item 35 was also sent to the board without a recommendation. it's an ordinance amending the planning code to permit the enlargement, alteration or reconstruction of a dwelling or other housing structure that exceeds the permitted density of the district if dwelling units are principally permitted in the district and the enlargement, alteration or reconstruction does not extend beyond the building envelope as it existed on january 1, 2013, and if no tenants were evicted under certain provisions of the rent ordinance; and making environmental findings, and findings of consistency with the general plan, and the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101.1. ~ or reconstruction. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you, president chiu. i would like to actually postpone these items till after roll call. [speaker not understood] was ready, but there is one question that remains. so, we can hear t

use authorization, and making environmental findings, and a determination of consistency with the eight priority policies of planning code, section 101.1. ~ south van ness streets. >> same house same call? this resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> >> next item. >> item 30 is an ordinance amending the police code to update the list of city job classifications responsible for enforcement of litter laws and having the power to issue citations for that purpose. ~ for that purpose. >> same house same call? this ordinance is passed on the first reading. [gavel] >> next item. >> item 31, ordinance amending the administrative code to modify open data standards and set deadlines for releasing open data. >> supervisor farrell? >> thank you, president chiu. colleague, today on this item we're going to vote on an update to our city's groundbreaking open data ordinance that will help lead to further innovation and technology driven solutions here in san francisco. and the application of civic issues and problems that we face here as a city ~. across the nation we're seeing different cities, counties, states and

the truth is, what it tells you is politics is the priority right now. itis not necessarily always a bad thing. many things were missing in this budget deal. i disagree on some of them. tax reform was missing. sbe entitlement reform was missing. the goal was to get beyond the concept of shutdowns. let's have fights on other grounds like obamacare. republicans, by the way, feel better having political fights over the debt ceiling. >> let's talk about the backdrop of this. polls are showing again and again, even if the economy is getting better, people don't feel great about their share. the top 1% of households captured 95% of the income gains. a study shows 95% of those born poor stay poor. will, we have had this conversation many times. this is the normal by product of a healthy, democracy? >> no, i thought you were going to say economy. it's not a by product of a healthy economy. what is it, i would love to see us disagree on this. the concept of inequality and poverty are not one in the same. they are not the same thing. we need to do everything we can

i had some comments on the budget priorities power and the ssip. let me just go through throws on the budget priorities i look forward as always to our annual workshops. sounds like this year we are not doing anything outside. it part of the regular commission meeting. that's unfortunate but we still have lot of information before hand. i'm hoping that as part of the presentings that there will be a narrative about priorities but also about tradeoffs and what general manager and staff are recommending but also what is not being recommended. so there is kind of like we are choosing to do this or recommending to do this instead of that and at the same time, here is what we are proposing to invest and what we would buy so it's both output and outcomes. and that gets talked about a lot but just to sort of see what those choices are. i have also mentioned before one of the hierarchy that has been used in the past of what was mandated by charter or some other requirement, what's intrinsic to the enterprise or bureau and what's discretionary. for me those

balancing the priorities of foreign policy is an example. trying to ensure that we are safe and our interests around the world are protect it and that we have influence in those areas that are important to us as a nation. the one misnomer i would say to spend that much when compared to the overall budget on foreign policy types of programs. you would see much more in the or trys that do health to help poor people who are between jobs or unemployed or who can't help themselves. people with disabilities. not suggesting they are perfect. i think congress is looking to try to look at programs that help people who are disadvantaged to have income discrepancies and inequalities as well as republicans and y to it will programs and seeing if well asn't that -- as republicans who are looking at welfare programs. it does not even close to the is spent on form programs. you can argue there's too much, but nothing compared to what we spend for those. genderh a discussion on hummer race, and in carson race race, and incarceration from tulane university. t

and i think if we do, the battle of priorities and values will be pursued and the idea that we would balance the budget on the backs of retirees but not touch billions of dollars in tax breaks for oil companies will become much more clear. >> okay. so let's talk about what the priorities were and what paul ryan went into these meetings with patty murray for, because he gave a radio interview yesterday about how they were able to achieve this compromise. i want to play for everybody how he thinks the percentages went on who got the best deal. take a listen. >> they insisted on turning off all of the sequester and getting rid of it entirely. for the next year and a half, we keep 70% of the sequester. so they got 30% of what they wanted. i got 70% of what i wanted. no tax increases, no stimulus spending. no 13th extension of the unemployment provision. >> sir, he feels this was much more of a win situation for the republicans and certainly from his bargaining standpoint, but as we talk specifically about your state, there's some 43,000 people in michigan who stand to lose their unemploy

that is the congressional budget office figure. so. we believe these priorities have to be addressed by the end of this year. it is speaker said, if not within the four corners of the budget agreement, we have to see a clear path to getting these other things done. the speaker of the house stood right where you are standing and acknowledged that republicans have to be more sensitive to women. what do you make of that comment? >> well, let me just say, it is a little late, but nonetheless, we are very proud of our own initiative where women succeed, america succeeds. rosa delauro, who is sort of the idea, didof this some research about what women meant to the workplace. minimumy, raise the wage, very important. value the work of women. paid leave, very important for women. men as well, but women being the major caregivers, and then of course the issue of child care, which is something that we have a crusade on. i think he was saying that in response to the fact that they were teaching -- didn't they have a class for their members to say how you should run really w

before the projects go through the environmental review and to make sure that they mesh with the priorities of the agencies involved. it could be mta, or mtc or authority and we needed to track down what we are talking about in changing the network with where the agencis that have to maintain these services needed to be. and now, we talked a little bit earlier today about the mayor's task force for 2030. there are a lot of efforts like that we are trying to keep concur ant with so that when we look at those how they reconcile with the ideas and concerns coming from the community and the water front and i hear about the tep and the transit effective project and because it only project to a certain year and how do you extend the benefits of the better transportation planning beyond the horizon year and to the next wave of development and we did the same with the livable streets and the parking strategies, and the sfpark program and other programs to try to get ahead of where the development is going to put the pressure and if the infrastructure is not there, that we will see that there will b

these blank checks to the administration and they set the priorities. that's not partisan thing. that's an stoonl thing. that's a -- institutional thing. that's a separate of powers thing. democrats and republicans alike believe we should do our jobs, that we should exercise the power of the purse, that the legislative branch should bring back its authority to do this. this does that by restarting the appropriations process, by agreeing to these numbers, hich are bipartisan numbers, mutually agreed to numbers, by not doing continuing resolutions, we are reclaiming the power of the purse. i'll give myself another minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for one minute. mr. ryan: there are those of us who are worried about regulations, who are worried about the exercise of power at the executive branch, who are worried about a sense of less accountability among the executive branch. we do lots of oversight hearings. we do dozens a week. but oversight pails in comparison when it doesn't -- pales in comparison when it doesn't have any fis

maybe this in future ingo can provide electricity elsewhere but we're not there yet right now the priority is getting to work. he did today was to link to the katanga mines out there bypassing electricity through a high tension line which flies over most of the country. could be punished at any time by cutting the interrupt in the lower congo. they want to. move we want an interest of the you know village after all it is ours. instead of the foreign countries are using it. and we who own the power find ourselves in darkness. what is happening is that angola south africa and butts wanna be the authorities with currencies well the people of the lower congo feel less interest. in this village like in all other villages the main difficulty is the electricity supply. and as the dam also has its own problems it cannot supply electricity in the entire public republic and more particularly in the capital kinshasa which experiences major problems with regard to energy supply. and as you can see we find wooden post says they are their defeat and lines which literally cross the rooftops of houses. wi

bance.itie which is absolutely critical to us succsful career they in full for all of that sometimes the prioritieset out of whack i took the last week of august off i was so tired and burned down i fell asleep.rg [laughter] d no reflection but i said iata vacation to check into ground myself did reconnect with my fiancee and my family. you have to say you are not a machine you cannot be a perfect mother and wife all the time. >> some of us are very critic. i am not there for my children. you feel guilty all the time. there has to be give-and-take.tere she put herself out thereng that we always examined her life to say are you kidding me? you cannot have become the ceo without missing a activities she says wife and mother first but i don't know that i believe that the then michelle steinbersaysr leading in and leave the office at five but what do you dowh when you get home? are you on the black perry? people put themselves out there then be a tax. >> then they have helped. >> now i will lock gun the eggshells. [laughter] she did say something that is not totally honest but you can tell she doesn't

we continue to place the priority open our seniors unit do have to say that our production now - our pipeline now is in a little bit of a gray zone as we're still awaiting word from hud how much assistance we'll be getting for our public housing units and the amount of subsidy we get from hud will impact the non public housing units in the pipeline. i'm happy to report back to our office in terms of what that pipeline looks like but honestly we'll have a better sense in a month or so once we get the allocation from hud >> i'd be interested in knowing that information. it's a real i know frustration obviously we want to take care of our public housing it's in an after all condition. it's good we're vichlt in that but building more senior housing is critical. i you know when you go into some of the senior housing buildings they're just it's wonderful. some of them are well done. people are, you know, it's terrific that it's there are and people have that safety net >> you i'll be happy to report back to you. as to the status of current pipeline >> thank you, president chiu. >> i think

and, yes, we make value judgments as to what are the priorities. but put that -- put our class of federal workers through additional cuts to me was wrong and i -- i regret that that was included in the budget agreement. i also want to mention that i was disappointed that we were not able to use this last train that will reach the finish line before the -- we recess to extend unemployment insurance. 1.3 million workers are in danger of losing benefits come january 1st. in 2014, as many as 4.7 million workers will not be getting the extended benefits, 83,000 of which are located in my state of maryland. and let me point out, we still have -- i know the unemployment rates are getting lower and we're all working to make sure they get as low as we can, but they're still substantially higher than they were when we first recognized that we needed to have extended federal unemployment benefits because of the softness in our economy. and particularly those who are long-term unemployed, it's extremely difficult to find a job. if you're unemployed and you're l
