supervisor wiener: i am a strong supporter of public financing. i supported the extension of public financing to make oral campaigns. at the time, there were those who were against them. i support the supreme court decision. my personal view is terrible and representative of a terrible trend of the decade and this court. with that said, we are faced with a choice. i know that we will come up with a good way to amend our public finance law in the future to try to address the challenge that the supreme court has thrown our way. now our choice is, what course to we take in terms of protecting taxpayer dollars from being socked away in attorneys' fees? we have gone down this path before. our general fund is so depleted and funds are so scarce and we have so many services that we are dramatically underfunding, i cannot vote to keep this aspect of the system in place. i will be supporting this amendment as proposed. supervisor cohen: thank you. as many of you know, i was elected with a publicly financed campaign. i believe the spirit of this and the int

thinks to wiener, campos and mar for their company sponsorship. i want to thank the for example who helped send this earlier today. we probably could have a tuesday meeting. i am more than happy to answer any questions, but i am happy seeing this traverse through the commissions throughout city hall and community. your support would be appreciateded. >> thank you, mr. chair. i want to thank supervisor mirkarimi for working on this. i want to move forward with this. in the past i have asked for feedback from constituents of mine, and i have received petitions from my folks who want to support moving forward with this. i do in this is something that will enhance the life of our city. that being said, i represent some of the deniesest neighborhoods on the west coast that include many entertainment venues that sit on top of neighborhood. to that what i would like to do is make a very minor amendment. right now the legislation allows limited live performances to 10:00, and then after a year if there have not been any problems, to let it go to 11:00. tw

supervisor wiener? >> thank you. i will be supporting the motion. we have in recent years been able to enact a number of important pieces of pro worker legislation with very broad support. we passed minimum wage, paid sick leave. at the ballot with broad support, healthy san francisco after a lot of work on both sides went to passing healthy san francisco. i hope that on which i am working will pass close to unanimously. when we put our minds to it, we can come up with solutions to labor issues and do it in a consensus way that protects workers while not damaging businesses. we keep hearing over and over again that it is a small or tiny percentage of players who are abusing the h.r.a.'s. if that is true, and i believe that it is, we need to address this problem with a scalpel and not with a sledgehammer. we are all hearing -- i know i am -- from many small businesses that are absolutely terrified about what will happen to their businesses if this legislation passes in its current form. we are hearing from labor a different narrative. we should not b

supervisor wiener. sorry. didn't see you. supervisor wiener: thank you. i am very supportive of this, and i want to congratulate supervisor kim and the community for really moving an incredibly important project forward. this is not in my district but about three blocks outside my district. i know first hand how much open space we need in the greater mission area. if you look at delor parker, mission playground, and how crowded they get. there are two points i wanted to make, and they were both discussed at the land use committee. first, i know there were folks who were concerned about the loss of parking, including o.k.c. and some other -- o.d.c. and some other non-profits. i know rec and park and o.t.a. are going to work closely to better manage the street parking in the area. the other issue that i just want to flag -- and it is not really specific to this project. this is just an example. we are dedicating public land to much needed affordable housing. i just really want to keep on the radar that we as a city have done a really poor job of providing m

supervisor wiener: i do not know. this is a little perplexing to me. there is literally nothing on the table in terms of this is something you can substitute it with. if that might happen in three months or six months, who knows? i guess we are not making a plea to the three of my colleagues who voted against this. i just do not understand why we would reject this, given what we know of the state of the law, the lack of a current alternative. there are a lot of smart people involved in this process who will think of one if one exists. we know what is before us right now and what is facing us right now and the severe risks that are facing us. i just do not understand. supervisor farrell: to add to that point, no other jurisdictions, and there are a lot of other jurisdictions, have come up with a solution. this has been around since the summer. no other jurisdictions have come up with a solution. to think we are going to implement something in one week that will stymie a lawsuit and save our taxpayer dollars is a dream. i am all for finding a long-term s

supervisor wiener: ok, thank you very much. supervisor mar: congratulations on 40 years as well and the performance of yerba buena center was excellent. >> we are here also to support the park but want to make sure also that our concerns and the conversations we have started will continue. we look forward to working with sfmta to the minister - affect the construction operation the park will have on access to the programs offered by ourselves and surrounding partners. the neighborhood also includes the mission neighborhood health center along with other businesses that host large competing constituencies. they continue to grow with their restaurants and bowling alley sometime in the next year. we appreciate the work sfmta has begun to identify strategies to continue access in our neighborhood and request they keep the full level operational until actually breaking ground and until parking mitigation plans are in place and functioning. once parking begins, we request that have the party will remain open and accessible to the pub

supervisor wiener: i do not know if moh is here. from what i have seen in terms of what future affordable housing will be, it is sort of indeterminate at this point. >> yes, and i do not want to be speaking out of turn. i just know that in a long-term plan, this parcel is being looked at for affordable housing to appear before you today, the transfer to the mayor's office of housing is part of that. i know there is environmental review. supervisor wiener: the reason i raise the issue is just in terms of in the future and maybe someone after public comment can respond to this. i and i know a lot of other people are very focused on moderate income housing as a component of affordable housing and making sure that we are not leaving moderate income people behind as our city produces not enough but a fair amount of low- income housing and plenty of market rate housing, that we are not leaving our middle-class, our moderate income folks behind. i am just trying to sort of keep beating a drum and reminding all of us that we need to focus o

motion to approve by commissioner abel lows, seconded by commissioner wiener. may we do so without objection? so moved. next item. >> item 9. amend the prop k bicycle circulation and safety 5-year prioritization program. this is an action item. commissioner mirkarimi: i would be highly surprised if there is no public comment on this. wow. very good. motion to approve by commissioner wiener, second by commissioner abel lows, campos, david chiu. without objection. so moved. next item. >> item 10. allocate $4,132,911 in prop k funds, with conditions, for ten requests, subject to the attached fiscal year cash flow distribution schedules, and amend the new and upgraded streets 5-year prioritization program. this is an action item. commissioner mirkarimi: any public comment on this? seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues? motion to approve by commissioner avalos, seconded by commissioner campos. next item. >> item 11. introduction of new items. this is an information item. commissioner mirkarimi: this is an opportunity to inject where you have not been bef

commissioner wiener: thank you. i just want to stress the importance of trying to find replacement parking. i have been very supportive of this project. i think it is a perfect project in terms of greater access towards the spine of the park, a terrific project. i supported health the saturdays. definitely supportive of these kinds of efforts. i will also say, not just from outside the city, but there are numerous parts of the city that are not accessible to golden gate park by transit. it will either take you forever to get there, you have to make two connections. even if you are a accessible, taking the n judah, the park is still huge. depending on where you are going to, it may not be successful, particularly to families, seniors. transit is not always an option. whenever i am in a hurry and i need to drive to the park instead of taking transit, i sometimes just do not go because it is so horrific on a busy weekend day to find parking. sometimes you just cannot do it and you have to turn around and leave. i think

he is back from vacation and his wife is about to have another little wiener. it is time to make career choices. >> i am not counting him out. >> it is not just the jewish vote that was a problem. there is a union vote. that is important for obama's re-election in states like ohio. for obama to play indicate that constituency, it is going to help the economy which he needs to do better. she in a catch 22 there. >> and signing a popular book, i believe. >>> from winng two to feeling blue, are sinking polls taking a toll? well it is a report about a report. it must be true. president obama is depressed. he says the "new york times" is checking into whether barack has the blues bad. the paper doesn't comment on stories it may or may not be work ofght let's not forget gawkers as reliable as my cousin sal who stole the banana seat off my shaw win in 1989. sal died of mono in 1989. 1997 actually. but could it be true? we are told by a source inside "the times" that the paper is preparing a story arguing that obama no longer finds joy in the political back and forth.

supervisors compos, mirkarimi, and wiener. chief sir, capt. paralysi caralm joysticks, the director of office of citizen complaint. also hear from office of citizen complaints is the senior investigator, as well as the legal intern, emily shannon. it is a pleasure to speak to all of you this evening about the functions of office of citizen complaints. we are also known as though otc. it is the third largest civilian oversight of law enforcement agency in the united states. it is only surpassed in size by chicago civilian oversight agency. this office was created by a board of supervisors sponsored charter amendment in 1982 and became operational in 1983. we are nearly 30 years old. and it was originally an office of the san francisco police department. it was later placed under the jurisdiction of the san francisco police commission. it is an independent agency, separate and apart from the police department. the police commission is also a civilian body. office of citizen complaints investigate civilian complaints against san francisco police

clerk calvillo: thank you, supervisor wiener. supervisor chu? supervisor chu: in terms of connectivity, thinking about how not only connects some, but how it connects the outskirts of san francisco to the central part of our city. so many residents of the sunset, richmond, the valley, they do make their way to chinatown and the downtown for work, for shopping, to connect with community, and to the extent that we do this, it is not just an economic magnet and something that helps the state economy overall, but it is something that helps improve the connectivity and transportation for our existing residents, so i do want to be added as a co- sponsor of that legislation, as well. clerk calvillo: thank you, supervisor chu. president chiu: ok. supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: banks that have been bailed out but who have not been doing their part to support local communities, banks like bank of america, wells fargo, they received bailout from the federal government and yet have not been doing their part to create jobs and to ensure that household

so with that, thank you to my colleague scott wiener. i also like to thank my colleagues that came to the bayview, at the town hall meeting a couple of days ago. it is the city family that is going to help us move forward. i specifically want to thank the mayor. this is the man that is unabashed about his support. he is with us 100% of the way. his walk and talk are in unison. i hear him downtown at the chamber of commerce and when he is making presentations to the community. it is consistent, thoughtful, compassionate, and it is real. it is a real talk. he mentioned honoring some of the promises that were made in the past. now here is the day. it is coming. and we will usher in, collectively, as a community. we have in business leaders here to help us guide through this transformation from point a to point b, and beyond. so with that, this is a positive day. we will continue to take this momentum and move forward and continue to build. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor. indeed, a positive day. i also want to take a moment to acknowled

wiener aye. avalos -- supervisor avalos: actually, this is the consent calendar? i wanted to separate one item. i apologize. campos aye. chiu aye. chu aye. cohen aye. there are 11 ayes. supervisor chiu: supervisor avalos would like to make a motion to rescind. supervisor avalos: actually, i am fine with the consent calendar. it was the continued items i had a problem with. >> item five, or did amending the administrative code limiting the hours of overtime work to 20% by any employee in the fiscal year to require departments to implement a reporting mechanism. supervisor chiu: find you. first of all, i want to thank our colleagues from gao for passing this legislation that addresses one aspect of overtime out of committee. we know that our city's over time issues are complex and we have to tackle it from a number of different angles. i want to thank supervisors campos and farrell not only for voting for this legislation before offering a different legislation that we could vote on. this deals with the fact that employees are allowed to work overtime work a 30% of

[applause] >> he is a lot shorter than supervisor wiener, if you know. again, thank you for coming. as the tgv is more bunched than i want them to be, but thank you for being here. i hope that you will take the time to turn around and find your permit officer and your venue. it is really important that you have a relationship. one of the things that we will do in the breakout sessions is talk about that relationship, shared space, and shared resources. that will be important to think about. in the meantime, i wanted to underscore the economic impact policy. we were hopeful to be more further along. i will ask that you be prepared to engage in that study when the survey instrument it's done. it will probably be an online survey that should be fairly easy. the more people that fill it out, the better the data we will have we think it will likely be in the billions. the more you that it involved and give the data that is asked of you, the more accurate it will be. i will leave it there. the other thing i was hoping to do today, just a power play instead of the actual web site. many rem

an either/or, energy efficiency versus bird safe, and then there was another point that supervisor wiener brought up. >> we're getting some information on the energy efficiency. i do not think it is an either/or option. i would like to speak also on the costs. that seemed to be a primary concern. if you look at the cost of a two-story commercial building, all made out of glass, $11 million, out of that, a fraction of the cost is the windows, about $500,000. so excluding labor, it is about $250,000. of that window cost, the glass cost is about $40,000, and then if you think according to "the new york times" the cost of the most expensive glass option, or the two most expensive glass options, it is about 1.5 times the cost of the energy- inefficient glass, a for a change in what they normally do -- energy-efficient glass, so for changing what they normally do, architects know that the construction costs vary up to 3% to 4%, based on a flux in the cost of materials. the ornalux class, -- glass, they won an award for being the most innovative, energy- efficient new glass products, so there ar

wiener is pushing for a bill to require the city's naked guys to cover public public benches and seats before sitting on to put some pants on before stepping inside restaurants he says it's a public health issue one tory is nudist in the area also with an ironic name woody miller thinks wieners proposals are necessary woody said put something down before you sit down i think that's coming out of here you don't need to legislate that it's right there and then to say i'm good we don't go anywhere without to tell but there's a news handbook i'm assuming it's all rules rule number two in the handbook right behind the jumping jacks. coming up an attempt to short change hundreds of nurses in california results in the death of asia so will serve as a lesson on just how important skilled workers are to our nation. that drives the world the fear mongering used by politicians who makes decisions to break through it through to be made who can you trust no one who is human view with the global machinery to see where we had a state controlled capitalism school satchels when nobody dares to ask we d

if commissioners wiener and campos agreed, it could be something that ta staff want to consider as well. there are things that we have been monitoring closely and we are pretty much intersected on what has been happening. >> thank you for that point. would be useful to agendize that. commissioner campos and i work closely with the ta on a regular basis, and they are extraordinarily helpful in providing information, helping with technical assistance. two quick things as an update. at tomorrow's mtc meeting, we will be taking up the issue again on whether or not to move the mtc headquarters, colo kidded with several other agencies, to san francisco, after some chaos after the committee was formed in the recommended that we proceed with the purchase. there had been growing support for that. i'm optimistic there. i also believe we will have a hearing in the next month or two on ab 57, which is very important here in san francisco. i am confident we can have a good discussion on whether or not that bill should proceed. commissioner mirkarimi: commissioner campos? commissioner campos: just to

next up, scott wiener, the board of supervisors, like a ding dong i forgot that they were in recent -- recess. he will be here to talk about a cool project that we are working on. >> good afternoon, everyone. the supervisor left this statement on his behalf. "i am not in town while we do -- while we are in recess, but i am here in spirit. the sooner that we recognize in a brace the fact that night life is key to the city, policy makers to often viewed this as challenges to deal with, focusing on violence, drunken behavior, and the like. it is one of the things that makes san francisco unique and defines us. without these unique abilities to enjoy ourselves, it would not be san francisco. understanding and embracing this has been a priority for me as a member of the board of supervisors. engaging in the study of the economic impact as an entertainment and lite light industry, this study, which i anticipate will be completed later this year, will be providing a key policy tool. no longer will we be unduly focused on the negative. instead we will see the negative and the positive. i look
