this is sponsored by supervisors tang, wiener and yee. supervisor tang. >> thank you very much and i would like to thank everyone for being here today and last month i introduced legislation that will prohibit the performance of wild or exotic animals for public entertainment or amusement in san francisco and many of us attended a circus or live animal performance in the past. they are common place in many of our cities. san francisco last hosted a circus in the fall of 2013 and again slated for this year but circuses i believe do not provide educational value. i think that they do a disservice to many of the young people that attend circus us think it's natural for animals to perform certain acts. existing laws do not protect wild or exotic animals for conditions involved in shows and animal welfare laws are hard to enforce when shows travel between jurisdictions and the animal welfare act signed in 1966 when circuses or other shows mistreat the animals they're only required to pay a fine of the animals are not removed from the care whic

supervisor wiener. >> thank you madam president. it seems to me i don't see the harm would be to continue this one week so we can give the agency an opportunity to provide us with answers about the rational and as i requested a few minutes ago to see what other transit agencies and similar agencies where employees are handling large amounts of cash how they approach it and to have that information and then the board can vote up or down. i agree it's going to be challenging to formulate a new contract within one week and it would surprise me if it didn't necessitate a broader process but the threshold question are there enough votes to adopt or not adopt the contract and given the questions it seems like another week would be useful and if it's withdrawn and i don't know if the seconder -- >> without objection supervisor kim decided to remove her motion so we will take that without objection.
