supervisor yee? >> yes. i just wanted to publicly thank commissioner wiener for working out this compromise. i know in dealing with these child care facility issues a good 25, 30 years, these can get very contentious. and yet it's hard for many people in the public to understand that in san francisco, even today we still lack enough space to care for our young ones. and it's very difficult because our city is relatively [speaker not understood] at this point and there are very few facilities being built brand-new to accommodate our young children. and so oftentimes what we find for the last 30 years is that we need to take existing facilities to start to serve our young ones in the city. so, this is good compromise. i'm glad you did this because i'm ready to support any expansion of the providing service for our young ones. >> thank you, supervisor yee. and i also wanted to thank all of our colleagues, thank supervisor wiener for his work in resolving this. just to be consistent with the technical part of ou

i want to thank commissioner yee i thought we'd get a break but no. and i want to thank supervisor breed it's been great to have our two offices to work on one of the nuts and bolts quality of life for our city. i would have loved to have long been one of the 16 people to get on the train during rush hour and car after cargoes by and we don't have enough l r vs and they're basically designed to minimize standing room. our light rail system is an absolutely essentially part of the muni i see fleet and essential to having high quality services. our daily ridership doopsdz light rail vehicles. they're also one of the key reasons why muni struggles with reliability. we don't have enough light rail vehicles. until recently on 50

without objection commissioner yee is excused. as noted earlier we only have two items on the agenda and there is a reason for that. the next item is a very substantive and important item and we want to make sure we have enough time to have the requisite discussion so with that mr. clerk if you could please call item two. >> item two is an ordinance amending the administrative code for 12i to prohibit law enforcement officials from retaining individuals for a immigration detainer after they are released from custody. >> and thank you very much and this was sponsored by supervisor avalos and i am happy to be a co-sponsor and i will turn it over. supervisor avalos. >> thank you chair and i want to thank my co-sponsors and supervisor mar. thank you very much. supervisor breed, david chiu, supervisor cohen, supervisor kim and supervisor norman yee. this is a great backing for this ordinance that i believe needs to show that we have strong support for it. the due process for our ordinance is one that has been months perhaps years in th

i want to thank commissioner yee i thought we'd get a break but no. and i want to thank supervisor breed it's been great to have our two offices to work on one of the nuts and bolts quality of life for our city. i would have loved to have long been one of the 16 people to get on the train during rush hour and car after cargoes by and we don't have enough l r vs and they're basically designed to minimize standing room. our light rail system is an absolutely essentially part of the muni i see fleet and essential to having high quality services. our daily ridership doopsdz light rail vehicles. they're also one of the key reasons why muni struggles with reliability. we don't have enough light rail vehicles. until recently on 50 percent of a daze we had 50 percent less than to provide our basic service. vehicles breakdown because of the design system with the propulsion steps and they're not being rehabilitated when they should have been. and $0.31 it's a major challenge it's not just the subway its all over the city on the south and southeast that rely on

commissioner yee. >> yeah, real quickly. i -- just for clarification, -- first of all, i'd like to make comment that i'm glad we're looking at alternative parking for those areas where parking is impacted. i made this observation several months ago when we're trying to get from point a to point b to improve peoples' ability to move from one place to another. sometimes we make these improvement and do not make adjustments for impact that it has on a particular neighborhood in regards to parking. we take it away from them to help people from outside our neighborhood get from point a to b. that's a good thing. i need some clarification . on page 3 -- it could be just the illustration that's inaccurate, but on page three it shows sutter and van ness and if you're looking at the stop that's going southbound, that's pretty clear in how the pedestrian gets to that particular stop. then if you look on the other side going northbound there's a picture that shows that the stop is in the middle of the street and i'm not too sure how th

we have a lady here - commissioner yee. >> i think this discussion in wanting to appoint more females on here i was a little lost in our discussion. i heard john a female and wants to be reappointed why did we skip over her. i will make a motion for her >> she's a south asian rep and i can't remember did they communicate an interest. >> she sent on e-mail saying she was an attorney and her work required her to be in sacramento today. >> i recall that supervisor kim discussion to hold-off but do you want a motion. >> i want to have a female and here's one who's been on the committee and expressed that she wants to continue. i don't know her personally and john i don't have any objection so i would feel comfortable to nominate her. so i guess to reopen >> let me just think about procedurally so we'll resend the vote on the at large seat. yeah, and can we do that await objection. am i doing this - so colleagues, i move we resend the vote on the at large seat can we do that without objection. thank you. so commissioner kim wants to open but commissioner yee is moving that we support the l

in terms in terms of commissioner yee do i have a cost estimate for the current cars and potentially can be the cost estimate of designing the seats in the somewhat with potentially the same cars we anticipate. do you have a comparison for example, it will take x amount of dollars and imply cars would be this cost to do it the old way and this cost for the new way the new way is the reconfiguration >> it that clear? >> certainly i don't have one handy but there's one that certainly could create under like a conversion there's two sets of numbers but it's not a difficult exercise to go through. >> i want to respond. you could do is cost thing but i'm factoring in if we get those cars and then it takes forever to convert i mean, we're converting two >> exactly so we've taken that into consideration and i guess i'd like for if we move this afford i'm holy we, talk about more than one car and determine if this is the best way to move forward and in our new vehicles as well because of the ability to move more passengers. i'm hoping we can come back in the next couple of months well, after

supervisor yee. >> yes, thank you, madam clerk. today i'm introducing an ordinance to improve the quality, oversight, and accountability of our city's child care facilities fund. the ordinance i'm introducing today will change the planning code to transfer all oversight of the fund in child care development projects that use the fund to the office of early care and education, to offer a seamless approach to ensuring our child care facilities. not only meet the needs of families in the city, but also are consistent with the city-wide plan for early care and education and out of school time. i strongly believe that streamlining the oversight of our child care facilities fund will improve our ability to serve our city's family in the most efficient way and as a strong supporter of the office ability care and education and their division. i am happy to see more responsibilities being shifted to them. i also today would like to adjourn this meeting in honor of evelyn wilson. evelyn wilson passed away monday morning. i've known evelyn fo
