i want to thank you for that. supervisor kim: thank you. >> i have served on the reentry council the number of years. i was with one reentry council when there were two. i find it funny that one of my qualifications that gets me there is that i was a terrible criminal. i have bad in and out of jail, and just cannot figure that out. i actually spent 15 years at delancey street, and still cannot figure out what i wanted to do. i went to truck driving school, graduated from colgate university. after that, i left and moved across the street and started working for the center on juvenile and criminal justice, which is where i employed now. basically what i do is i case manage and manage programs for juvenile justice. i also worked with people who are trying to get back on track and kind of get their feet back on the ground. i am just looking for reappointment because i like what i am doing. i was on the reentry council before it was sexy, when we would just meeting in one of these rooms somewhere. sometimes we cannot have their room,

you. supervisor kim: 94 all of your work on this. at this time, we will call up all of the applicants in the order that you are listed on the agenda. first, we have panora roomel. >> hi, supervisors. my name is panora, and i believe i qualified for seat 1, 3, and four. i have been incarcerated on different levels, a couple of times in county jail, and i have previously been released within two years, march 17, 2010. i feel like i qualify for this job because someone at the community justice center has been telling me i've been doing this a long time, anyway, helping people, even when i was going through my situation. i put together packages for people who were leaving before myself, and they successfully made it out, and a couple of them are still doing good maintaining themselves. i believe i am good for this job because i can relate to different people on all levels. but excuse me, i am nervous speaking here. supervisor kim: you are doing fine. >> all my life, people have come to me, i am easy to talk to, and very resourceful. if i

you. it supervisor kim: thank you. >> hello, i am the director of pride. i have worked with audrey personally since 2006 through pride, most recently on this year's pride event. over the six years we have known each other, she is extremely committed to the community, very in tune with the various needs of the community and how to strike the correct balance of those needs. we all know sometimes safety and entertainment are not always the best, but i know that audrey understands the intricacies and the needs of this community, as well as the community diversity. i think that skill set, along with her historical knowledge, is one of the things that makes her unique and one of the reasons why her tenure on the commission has been so successful. i want to offer my personal endorsement. she has been tremendously helpful to the community. thank you. supervisor kim: thank you. >> i am tom murphy, co-chair of the efficacy committee for the recording academy. it has been over two years since we have been actively involved with the entertainment commission, and i jus

supervisor kim: think you for being here. just a quick question, of the candidates that have declared for the mayor's race, how many are publicly financed candidates? >> eight. supervisor kim: thank you. we also have the sponsor of the legislation here today. supervisor elsbernd would you like to say a few words? supervisor elsbernd: we also have the oakland city attorney here. i would like to thank you for stepping forward in helping us with this to help recused issues with this year's election. the oakland city attorney has release stepped up. thank you for the memo. i believe it has been laid out appropriately, but i would remind my colleagues and public i think it was just before recess in june or july where we at this committee had to settle a lawsuit that cost the city $300,000 because our campaign laws were not legal, and quite frankly i am not interested in forking over more taxpayer dollars to defend something that is quite clearly again out of whack. i think this ordinance and a very limited way addresses it maintain

thank you very much for listening. supervisor kim: thank you. and i also see that you have served in south beach. >> yes, we have a very active leadership council. supervisor kim: thank you. next, we have ronnie muniz. after that, robert kane. >> good afternoon. my name is ronnie muniz, and my qualifications are i have done to terms in four different prisons. what i was incarcerated, i took my ged so i could get out and go to college and amount to something. i try the drug and alcohol certificate class's, then i got a passion for doing faith-based work. i created a faith-based organization. i help people get housing, drug programs, education. we have three different homes. i started this organization from the ground up. we became a nonprofit a few years back. i do work in all of the county jails, including san bruno. i do every entry program, getting them prepared for coming out so they have housing, education, drug programs, clothing, wherever they need to go to, we create that format to work with the department, the probation department. i hav

i hope you put things together. supervisor kim: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. i have lived in san francisco for 59 years. on the issue of public matching funds, according to my research it is debatable whether it is affected. there are arguments pro and con on the subjects i. i think you can argue it all day. one of the items i did notice on today's agenda was that there is only one item on the agenda. given that the city has so many problems, i have a feeling we should have more than one item on the agenda. i am sure our hard-working supervisors will be able to find something to work on. in regard to the ethics commission and being involved on this subject matter, i would like to make a suggestion to the rules committee in regards to the ethics commission that maybe we could save a few dollars and give the money to the poor and needy by eliminating the ethics commission. the reason why i feel that way is before the passing of mr. joe when he was verlyng,nn, he was o spend time with me, and one of the things h

i would have been pushing for you very hard. supervisor kim: i believe we do not need to deliver. -- do a waiver. jamie is active and you are amazing. i really appreciate your leadership and your inspirational -- you are an inspirational speaker. you have affected so many people's lives. you have an impact on this work. the one thing i do like about mr. muniz is he is not necessarily connected with our departments that have seats on the table. or any of the nonprofits i know that we work regularly with on the reentry council. so i would be supporters of both. we have -- we have come to a consensus. do we have a motion to move forward gerald miller to foresee one, -- for seat one,? >> thank you for coming. i do not think there was anyone that we would not be happy to push forward. we will send to the mayor as well for his consideration and ask him to do so in short order. supervisor kim: thank you. we can do that without opposition. i want to thank everyone for the time you spent with us today. thank you. can you please call item 6? >> resoluti

thank you for being here. -- supervisor kim: thank you, david. thank you for being here. >> i am a property owner as well and i am on the board as the cmcbd as chairman. i am on several of the boards in that area and i am impressed with how much the cbd can get accomplished. we have large problems on six straight -- sixth street that have been attended to more aggressively. the work that workers do on the street is just really very appreciated. they keep the streets clean, the graffiti removed, and they really have a sincere conscientiousness to it. it would be missed if not here. i support obviously very much the board i am on. thank you for listening to me. supervisor kim: thank you, thank you for being here. any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. i appreciate the guides and the work that you do. i appreciate the cbd. the tries to do a lot in this area and it is not enough and we depend on the work of central market committee benefit district to help partner with us. is there any comments or questions at this time? a m

supervisor kim: thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. am kim armpinster from glide. i would like to speak to the toning issue. it's rare that we do not have tokens to give to our clients. we issue two tokens so they have transportation to the shelter. and we track each the oak than we give out on a log that h.s.a. provides. during the most recent -- there was a statistic cite d in the shelter monitoring committee report's about tokens not being available and i remember that day when they visited because the person usually visits glide twice a day because we have two shift. she got the flu in the afternoon and came back another day. we had a substitute reservation clerk because one of our reservation clerks was ill and also h.s.a. was the person we contact there was ill and that was a statistical anomaly. and h.s.a. is very accommodating and if we get near running out of tokens, we send staff to the site with tokens or pick them up at meetings. so i can speak for glide it that's very, very rare when tokens are unavailable. >> supervisor k

. >> kim, to you.ll of the regulations and cutting jobs here, is time to talk about new regulations? the economy is in shatters. >> regulations have nothing to do with the job market. the issue is the economy. they are proceeding with caution. who they have to answer to. i hear snickering in new york. but the issue is that these companies are trying to proceed with caution. they have to worry to shareholders. cash flow is not an answer. >> regulations increase cost to companis and ultimately have less money to spend in. u.s. companies raked in 940 billion in profits. they can afford them. the issue is where are they spending the money? stock buy backs and take overs and increased dividends. they are costing that are justified. exincreasing expenses hammered by the stock market. >> it is not just about how much money you have on the books, it is how much money you are willing to spend to hire. karen. it is a fragile economy and worst number in a long time on weeks, what do you make of the regulations do

i want to thank you for joining us today. supervisor kim: thank you. >> we have been talking to supervisor of jane kim. watch for the next episode when we will be back. supervisor chiu: good afternoon. welcome to the san francisco board of supervisors meeting of tuesday september 13, 2011. welcome to our temporary board chamber. please call the roll. >> [roll call] mr. president, there is a quorum. supervisor chiu: i think you let somebody out. >> mr. mayer. mayor lee: present. supervisor chiu: and eric mar is here as well. >> sorry, supervisor mar. mar present. supervisor chiu: thank you, madam clerk. ladies gentlemen, could you join me in the pledge of allegiance? >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of united states of america, to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. supervisor chiu: madam clerk, do you have any communications? >> i have no communications. supervisor chiu: could you call our to be a special order? >> the first item of business is for the mayor to engage wit

with the ambiance traffic noise you probably would not hear a welding machine. director kim: ok. thank you. vice chair ortiz: any other questions? >> thank you, vice chair. that concludes my report. >> vice chair, directors, we have not received any communication of public suggestions on it that's item. vice chair ortiz: ok. let's go to the consent calendar. >> ok, we will go to the consent calendar. directors have not received any indication that the public wishes to have any items sever. your items including the minutes of the june 9, 2011 meeting and item 7.2, authorizing the executive director dick skewed amendments to extend agreements for state abacuses service sees -- for state advocacy services with options remaining to extend each agreement for an additional three years. vice chair ortiz: is sarah -- is there a motion to agree to the consent calendar? can they agree even though we are not here? >> [unintelligible] severed. [unintelligible] >> i will second it. >> he was not here either. >> thank you. >> do you want to consider it separately? vice chair ortiz: whatever. wh

if you kim, i want to figure out how you did it. >> you do not want to hang out with me now before i raise the millions? tavis: i would love to hang out with you, but we could use some of that money at p.b.s.. a million members. a billion dollars. i want to ask whether that suggests the real crisis for education is money. you have heard the argument that what is wrong in the education system is not going to be fixed by pouring more money at it, but you are trying to raise a billion dollars in the first year of your work for what purpose? >> i actually agree with the people who say money is not going to solve all the problems in public education. if you look at the data over the last three decades, we have more than doubled the amount of money we are spending in public education on schooling for our kids, and the results have at best stayed the same, and in some cases have gotten worse. some money is not the solution to the problem. if you look at washington, d.c., we were spending more money per pupil than almost any urban jurisdiction in the country, and our results were at the bott

supervisor kim: thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: i would like to second the comments from supervisor camp. -- kim. anecdotally, as the state is lessening its obligation and deflecting more into local government that much more, and i chair public safety, and we are trying to figure out what kind of population we are dealing with. we never get very accurate numbers. really, what is that population? between law enforcement and city government, they seem to have conferred that we would have stepped up our game. that reality is going to grow. especially with the alignment starting this week. can you expelled on that? i am beginning to try to figure out how to enable. >> you are absolutely right. when questions are posed on the data, it is very challenging. that is where the coordinated case management system is in dire need of support. actually able to attract clients through systems. that does not include the criminal-justice system. the chief, and her wonderful work, we have several partnerships under way. given th

what was the actual day like for you, kim? >> the wedding day? camera in there when he proposed to me, because that was something that, you know, i didn't think that he uld really ever do. so i was not expecting that at all, for me to walk in and to -- that happen at that moment, and then the wedding day, i was actually really, really calm that day. i wish i had more time to r rlly enjoy the wedding, because there's so much going on that you're running around. now that i look back, that day happen sod fast. i wish i had more time. >> but you'll be able to relive it again, that two-night special. that's going to come up next month. you did it just the opposite, girlfriend, you were like nine days. >> i loved it my way. >> i wish -- >> i had no involvement in planning her wedding. by being around kim and seeing how stressed she was, i was like, thank god i did not do that. i was like, take me to the courthouse, i don't care for a wedding. my mom was like, you can't do this to me. give my daughter a wedding. fine, handle t. i don't care. >> did you

you. >>> kim has 49ers news that has my interest piqued. >> nfl teams have the rosters down to 53 today. which is bad news for a lot of players. and the 49ers are once again in the market for a veteran quarterback. and how much luck would stanford need in their season opener against san jose state? find out next in sports. ,, [ screaming ] [ zapping ] there goes dwayne's car. oh, man. there goes dwayne's house. whoa! whoa! and there goes dwayne. man, that thing does not like dwayne.

you. -- supervisor kim: thank you. vice president miguel: the concept is a good one for san francisco. the idea of finally having a new bowling alley in san francisco, -- is there anyone on the ground for yet? a dentist's office. as far as the theaters are concerned, having alcohol beverage service in a movie theater is not at all uncommon in europe and asia. much more common than in the united states. i always worry about how something is to find -- defined, how you define a single screen theater. it could be a monitor sitting someplace, whether it is by number of seats or area, however, i cautioned the definition. bowling alley is easier to define. i think a single screen theater all the sudden brings in my mind, maybe i am too devious about it. the fact that someone will try to game the system. in general, i am all for it. commissioner sugaya: i think that comment should be taken into consideration by staff. i think we all know what about -- a bowling alley is although there is some amusement park bowling establishments that were not quite a bowling alley. there was some concern exp

you. supervisor kim: i left out a very important office involved in this prior to our office working it. supervisor david campos' office has been working with it and convening meetings along with our office. thank you. supervisor chiu: supervisor campos? supervisor campos: thank you, mr. president. i don't want to belabor the point and repeat what has been said. i want to thank supervisor kim and her staff and all the community members who have been working on this for quite some time. it has been a long time coming, and i know there's a lot of excitement around this, and i think this really shows how a community working closely with government can really move something very positive forward. i also want to thank my staff for their work in making this happen and look forward to continuing to work with supervisor kim, supervisor wiener and his office. again, thank you to the community for coming together around this very important project. supervisor chiu: supervisor avalos? supervisor avalos: thank you. i would just like to echo the comments of all of our colleagues who have spoken. i wan

you. supervisor kim: thank you. i also wanted to add my words recognizing the life and work of eric for the city of san francisco. i want to thank my colleagues for recognizing him. due to a lot of the parallel work he was doing in the mission for decades, we interactive a lot. just to ed, the impact eric had it on the committee i am part of -- he was an important mentor and role model for so many people i work with. his voice has been really important in the city of san francisco. it is not just that he fought gentrification. he always asked who this benefits and how it benefits the people who live there and what it means for the community. even in our work, that question is important for us to continue asking. he has been important in building upon the work we try to continue today. we recognize the community he is part of and his amazing family. there were a lot of different public issues for our school system. it is important to continue to not to recognize but to honor his work here in city hall. i wanted to ad

you. good afternoon, everyone! i have asked supervisor kim of this district joining me in congratulating the heart of the city farmers' market. 30 years. thank you very much for your leadership. do you know what the secret is of having a successful farmers market? you have the farmers run it, for 30 years. look at what we have done. the hall plaza is activated -- the whole clause is activated. i want to thank the real estate division. you have done a wonderful job at keeping a good relationship with the organizers and the partnerships that we have. i see so many great members of our community from the market street business associations, from the tenderloin. randy shot and aw and our soma s are here as well. this farmers' market brings fresh, a homegrown, sustainable farmers food to our communities in need. it keeps us healthy. we know that is at the center of a healthy city, to have a relationship with the farms around our bay area and throughout california, to make sure the fresh produce is made available in the freshest and most immediate

you are right, this is a bit out of the realm of 10-years. supervisor kim: regarding the potential source of sons of -- source of funds for the site, if the measure does not pass? please talk a little bit about the plan b process. >> there is plan b and c. we have the need to address this with the office of the chief medical examiner. if the funding opportunity does not reveal itself, we would probably look at other opportunities first. if there is not capacity within the city's budget to solve this problem, we will have to try to solve it in a different way. after that we will look that repurchasing this asset. once we have ownership, we are confident that we are getting in at a base price that is competitive. so, financial risk to the city is minimized. i am not trying to say that there is not a risk, but it must be repurchased for city use, or disposed of. >> what happens to the medical examiner's office? upo>> we restart the search. that is what we do all the time. supervisor mirkarimi: if i may make a suggestion, and i am not sure if you have space und

supervisor ken, did you have any comments? supervisor kim: no, just that i was glad we brought this up. i am glad we could raise some of our fees closer to what it costs us to put this together. supervisor chu: thank you. the item has been an amendment, or an amendment of the whole has been accepted. to the new document, there is no continuance required, and we can take that without objection. thank you. item number two, please. >> item number two, resolution approving and authorizing the execution of modification number one of lease and use agreements l-10-0081 with cathay pacific airways and evicted for lounged in the international terminal of san francisco international airport. supervisor chu: thank you. we have a member of sfo. >> the airport is seeking every approval to our existing lease with cathay pacific airways. the airlines wishes to expand its current square footage to include any additional exclusive space in the international terminal so that they can build a passenger lounge. cathay pacific airways currently leases 2,616 squa
