records that uncovers the it's in vision of the brown act and the public records act and the sunshine ordinance. member of the public end up having to do your job it's well, to sit around and use the right text size on a letter and crap as far as most of the san franciscans they don't care but you have a librarian taking a payoff from a group and letting them raise $60,000 and come before the public and represent he knows where this money went and the bottom line is after two solid years of public document requests it took a year to get a what we needed to get to fine him and he got a good deal 5 thousand dollars a year worth ever hotel trips and he paid a $200 fine sign me up for that if i get caught i'll pay $200 and we f we asked you to look at it is you wouldn't do it we have to go to sacramento we do your job because you're too intent on co-sponsoring other people. that's exactly what happened when mr. sincroy did it while i was out of the state cover their butts. you can look as disgusted as you want to silence is gotten >> items for future meetings

and we will then invite the public of when we've entered the closed session >> we should do public comment and okay. let's. >> i on on agenda item 6 it would have public comment. >> on agenda 6 relating 0 the discussion okay. let's have public comment then. >> boy i tell you a you guys are a piece of work. i don't think whoa whether or not to assume that's the kind of discussion when you go into the back you ask the city attorney a couple of questions and go into there are inform 45 minutes or an hour i have the feeling that's the type of discussion you have in closed session. i'll say this you're not honest people. and you can say over and over over and over again how you want to be open and helicopter this is about the fact you don't want to disclose things to the pun how you handle sunshine and the brown act and other issues recommended to open government. and you don't want anyone in the public to know what the city attorney is advising you to do or not to do. you know, very frankly if you were an honest people you'll say we don't think it's appropriate to have this and that done becau

we will look at the latest and greatest public art project. recently, the airport unveiled the new state of the art terminal. let's take a look. the new terminal service and american airlines and virgin america was designed by a world- renowned architecture's firm. originally built in 1954, the building underwent massive renovation to become the first registered terminal and one of the must modern and sustainable terminals and the united states. the public art program continues its 30-year legacy of integrating art into the airport environment with the addition of five new commissions that are as bold and dynamic as the new building. >> this project was completed in record time, and we were able to integrate the artist's early enough in the process that they could work with the architect said that the work that is completed is the work that really helps complement and instill the space as opposed to being tucked away in a corner. >> be experience begins with the glass facades that was designed with over 120 laminated glass panels. it captures t

the agenda item 6. of course, there's many public records that were left out of the group that was sent to you. there are no public speakers on this item started in october of 2012 when i made a records request and gone through hearings 3 hearings before the task force and gone through all the litigation in which the superior court ruled i was in corners with the law and it's been about a year and 15 months that's 15 meetings of ethnics that the issue raised whether to assert the attorney-client privilege what have we been doing but dealing with the issue have you even seen the withheld documents. the other point i want to make is that there's no really case pending right now. the superior court case is closed. the case now in the court of appeals has been argued and briefs filed we're waiting for the decision so it's he pending that there's nothing you or i can do to alter the progression of the lawsuit in this court of appeals that kind of surprises me there is no appellant i was the petitioner that case was concluded the petitioner in the court of appeals is the ethnics. there's no defendant

visible from the public right-of-way. the design i'll let the project sponsor go into the daily but there's refinements made to the exterior and i'm sure you're aware of the basic design language is the open glass shingles and there's a desire to see a stronger portion and it's relationships to the lower scale historic buildings. as well as the project sponsor will talk about the refined treatments to the shingles themselves to make that design language possible. so physicals there's questions the project sponsor will talk about that >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners i'm carl and i'm joined by peter wine garden we're thrilled to be here and glad for commissioner borden's last hearing we've been working on this since 2006 we're pleased to see that become a reality. jerry inspire as a long term relationship with frank and he's known him inform a long time we're thrilled to be able to bring 3 fairly important stellar pieces to san francisco and display them in the open space of this building. this is the first piece

and we were also joined here by the san francisco adult probation department in the san francisco public defender in support of this legislation. and this legislation really is simple, the state of california in statute under 1203.016, enables all county sheriff's departments to enact an electronic monitoring program also known as home detention for sentenced inmates and with the advent of ab 109, a new statute in the state rtion known as 1203.018, creates the ability for county sheriffs to create a electronic monitoring program for pretrial detainees and i don't think that it is uncommon knowledge that throughout the state and this country, a high percentage of detainees and those within the jail, county jail systems a high percentage are pretrial. and we believe that if we in the sheriff's department comes into contact with information for a unit that has served minimally 30 days with us or a felony, or someone in a felony that served 60 days with us that provides us the knowledge to potentially reconsider if they should be in custody with us. because they could not afford bail, or bec

and the public utilities commission and so it is involving the enterprise departments right now and the mayor's office of housing and we are doing this in a coordinated effort to essentially develop a strategy for development of public assets and public real estate sites for what will be the betterment in the community. and when i say that i am referring to a couple of things, i am referring to the public benefits, such as, affordable housing. and the public benefits such as transportation and public benefits such as open space, such as, economic development. which is kind of the over arching umbrella of this thing when you put it in perspective and so right now to aoe the sfmta has the mlu with the office, and that document itself is what it is doing, and it is facilitating and what is considered phase one of the process, which is the community out reach and the public participation, and it is probably a year long process to which we are going to the various agency and boards and commissions and do the commenttations and inform them about the program over all as i get the move along si

alternative that allows us to fortified the alternatives to the incarceration without compromise to the public safety. and in 2013, we had one of our largest electronic monitoring years in the history of the sheriff's department and 359 people were put on em with a success completing rate of 93 percent and i can tell you when, we contrast and compare with the other 57 counties in the state of california, we have something to be proud of. and so, as long as we keep that line of communication, open, and with the courts with the da, and somebody requires a public defense, public defense in the adult probation department and i think that this is the next step of where the home detention and electronic monitoring will go and maybe there will be people here that may have concerns, or i would like to reserve the right to address those concerns but i just want to also again, mind you the adult probation and public defenders offices here in support and the other people here too. >> if i may, chair, i know that you know, this item came before it is previously and at that point, there were concerns that

what is the public's incentive to go for this program? the argument that people want to go out their door and have a car for them is the same argument for people who own their own cars and pay for maintenance and pay for parking permits. it's also in direct conflict with an anti-obesity campaign that the board of supervisors is adopting and quite frankly, if you want people to walk to their cars, the people who own their cars should be able to walk to them and the people who don't own their own cars should have to walk to them. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker.
