[ applause ] . i want to echo what the fire chief said. we continue to prepare all the time. we have a mayor who i know it's all about resiliency an

we supervisor wiener and avalos. what makes pb different from voting in a typical election is that public education is at the center. the pb really functions as kind of a school of citizenship and democracy. what we've seen is that that education process both serves as the leadership development ground not only for new leaders people who have not been part of the leadership in the community but also to transform their understanding of their community. one of the things that we saw recently in the process in chicago to kind of illustrate what that public education looks like there was a public committee that wanted security cameras. they met with the local police department and the local 9-1-1 center and what they found was actually what would improve public safety wouldn't be security cameras but proved latin-american are that was an important thing to incorporate into their experience as delegates. someone else that gets to the question of our democracy. is that pb ingenders a kind of deeper democracy. not only are

mike casso and carolyn kissick. >>> thank you very much, supervisor wiener. mike [speaker not understood] located in the castro. we have a brick and mortar, opening up another brick and mortar and we also have two food trucks. so, i definitely understand both sides of the argument. i definitely commend everyone for all the hard work they put in. it's definitely a battle, but we have seen both sides and are very thrilled with the results so far. [speaker not understood] uponedth schools and the distance, i think there is a big misunderstanding about what a lot of food trucks and the quality of food that they are producing nowadays. i can only really speak for myself and what our company does, but we are extremely healthy, indian food from scratch. so, i take offense to some people in the past who said the roach coach is nothing but fast food. it's quite the contrary what people are able to produce nowadays in the food trucks. we understand the difficulties and we really look forward to a great compromise in the future. thank you. >> thank you very much. next s

that's the term that supervisor wiener has used. but i don't think that whatever happens with the tic issue, that we as city government are actually doing enough or doing anything that's sufficient to deal with this crisis. the fact is that irrespective of what happens with this piece of legislation, we're talking about a situation where ellis act evictions have skyrocketed in san francisco. they have increased by more than 92%. and whatever happens with this piece of legislation is not going to address that fact. and, so, i really believe that -- today has been an interesting day because a number of issues that really go to the heart of this question of affordability were raised. and i don't believe that city government is doing enough to tackle that issue. i think that's a question that was presented by supervisor avalos, goes to the heart of the question -- of the matter. while i appreciate the response from the mayor that indeed it's good that there is an economic boom, i don't think it's safe that saying we have a growing econo

(applause) >> and now district 8 supervisor, scott wiener. (applause) >> good morning, and congratulations to all of you. you know, we've been reading a lot in the paper recently about some challenges at the housing authority, and thank you to mayor lee and to others for really focusing on moving the organization forward. but i think it's always important to keep in mind that, you know, as many challenges as the authority has, we still have a thriving community and we have lots of young people like you who are moving forward and are going to do great things in the community and in your lives. and, so, i think it's always important to keep focusing on the positive, about the amazing community that we have and we're going to turn this around and everything is going to go in a positive direction. you know, i also just want to congratulate the partner here to the housing authority, that is our school district. our public school system is so on the way up and, you know, it started with elementary schools, moving up to our middle schools, and the b

supervisor wiener. >> thank you very much, mr. chairman. and i, too, want to thank all the people who participated in this process. this has been [speaker not understood] process. although there have been a number of disagreements, i think a lot of people have participated in good faith in trying to move us to a spot where we could actually have a consensus piece of legislation that helps both tic owners and tenants. and frankly, i think we are extremely close. and even if you look at the two versions that are before us today, despite some of the [speaker not understood] a lot of the commentary about there are very different pieces of legislation, there's actually not. there is one difference between the two. the so-called tacking that supervisor farrell described before. but just backing up and looking at the big picture, the one thing perhaps that we can all agree on is that we have a housing affordability crisis in san francisco. i've lived in the city for 16 years, not as long as some, but for a teetion entitle amount of time and have b

as supervisor wiener mentions this budget continues the commitment around public safety. this breaks down the number of classes that are assumed in the budget and the number of new hires that will come into the city as the classes. 3 fire classes one deputy class and 19-1-1 class. this is making good on our commitment on the retirement over the last year's especially the fire and police officers. the fire department we've seen the reduced staffing on mandatory overtime issues. the sheriff has other issues as does 9-1-1. i.e., wanted to talk to you about the other nets. you'll have other predictions from departments but we've talked about the shortfall of the department of public health. i wouldn't expect the department would come back to the committee if itself budget it granted unless they're a significant state or fell that change for it's on the affordable care act new positions and new investments related to that. i have mentioned there's no cuts to the behavioral support services. and finally $4 million in restoration for state hiv and aids reductions which leaves a

. >> supervisor wiener. thank you, mr. president. ~ >> thank you, mr. president. i support this project, very good project, but i will raise the issue that i -- actually raised a few times recently, and we discussed in committee, and that is specifically not just relating to mission bay, but to all the development going along the waterfront area south of market street. we are not doing what we need to do in terms of investing and transit and making sure we have enough transit capacity to meet the needs of these new neighborhoods we're creating of all the new population and he economic activity that we are going to see ~ in this area of the city. i have the same concern with, frankly, with all the development in upper market street. it's good development, but we're not doing what we need to do to build transit capacity. and one thing that we discussed in committee, which we then got an answer to afterwards, is that for this particular project, i believe there are approximately $21 million in impact fees. and of that 21 million, none of that is for transit impact fe

[gavel] >> madam clerk, do we have any communications? >> there are no communications, mr. president. >> i have one quick announcement. as i think many of you know, tomorrow at 7:00 a.m., west coast time, 10:00 a.m. east coast time, the supreme court is expected to announce their decision regarding marriage equality and i just want to make an announcement that tomorrow at 7:00 a.m., the mayor, our lieutenant governor, city attorney and members of the board of supervisors will be gathering at 7:00 a

>> supervisor wiener. >> yes he's interested in that topic. thank you >> thank you. >> he the board of appeals met last time and there was the appeal of 49 banks last month the board of appeals heard that and the hearing request was filed it was regretted. and the penalty on dlolz street that the commercial use include selling juice and having yoga classes there. the board unanimously especially upheld that it was originally scheduled for april 10th but they came to the hearing and they still didn't submit any briefing material and sideboard found they don't have enough time to grant the request but they have the appeal. >> good afternoon tim department staff here to share with you the results of yesterday's historic commission. they approved two certifies of restoration the dog patch land district was included. the commission addressed a few conditions of approval to the restoration of the residential property within the osmosis districts there would be more construction needed. the commission also approved a major permits for the work along

as i said before, i want to thank supervisors farrell and wiener for their initial proposal. i want to thank supervisors yee and kim for working on amendments that we have offered together that would protect tenants. i want to thank the representatives of the tenants community as well as i want to thank plan c, the realtors, and property owners for their advocacy here. when we started this discussion, the tenant community opposed any expedited conversion of tics to condos, and i understood that. we all know we have a fixed rental control stock. every tic that converts to a condo means one less rental unit. we also know these are objectedv accomplished through actual evictions or constructive evictions by us. when tenants and tic owners sat down, we really heard i think both sides of the equation. we heard from current tic owners of their plight, the fact that many of them were not themselves involved in any of the evictions. the fact that many of them are, as supervisor farrell alluded to, stuck in very difficult financing arrangements. and, so, i was focused on thinking abou

we hope supervisor wiener will see these amendments as fully compatible with his own arguments for need for ceqa clarifications and certainty. the response is some concerns raised earlier about prioritizing other projects. there are no other projects with as complicated a funding structure as affordable housing. i wanted to respond briefly to director ram's comments of prioritization if any, should not be codified or they can simply be done through a director's bulletin. in fact, this prioritization is already codified in the government code and there already exist a planning department's director's bulletin. but this is not working. as members told us repeatedly, sometimes it takes six months to get an initial determination whether a project will need a cad ex, negative declaration or e-i-r and sometimes planning staff changes initial determination. staff informs us delay is being pulled off to other prior advertise, such as america's cup or warrior's arena. to be clear the choo choo is asking for the very first initial determination of the environmental review requirements. we look fo

i want to thank supervisor wiener and supervisor. i think i want to take a moment and give a shout out to elizabeth i'm sorry to see you can go. we really need to consider the pedestrian advocates for moving a convenient that we've been frustrated on. i think that supervisor wiener and i have hoped this legislation will be one step in the long walk to bringing safety on our streets. i want to take a moment and acknowledge the concerns we need to work through with our fire department on this issue. i do support what supervisor wooerlg and campos said. i hope the future conversations will help us to reduce the number of facility that are happening on a weekly and monthly basis. thank you supervisor kim and i will second the motion. i'm not sure if i missed it butd a number of meetings with the fire department. and many, many phone conversations and etc., and we'll continue to be in communication. we may not loopholes have a hundred percent on everything but we've continue to work in a clauf process >> i want to make sure we're includin

supervisor wiener. >> thank you. hi, everyone. i'm scott wiener from district 8 and i'm really just thrilled to be here today. this is just amazing. we dot a brand-new playground in dolores park and this is right in the same claytionthv. so, it's a new generation of active recreation for our kids. ~ got and i just want to say thank you to the voters of san francisco for repeatedly investing in our parks in an off the charts way. and you know, last year we had another parks bond and there were some people who got a little grump pi about it ask started campaigning against it. guess what? we got a higher percentage of the vote in 2012 than in 2008. [cheering and applauding] ~ grump py >> that's because this parks department is like the little engine that could. over the years city hall has cut and cut and cut from the budget of this department and the department keeps finding new ways to move our park system forward. and now the voters, you've done your job. it is now our turn to do our job and make sure that we're investing in the m

i am sensitive to the fact that we do have other public projects that probably to supervisor wiener's point, ought to receive prioritization as well. but these are the ones that we certainly heard from the community and frustrate the public over and over again when they're not prioritized. so, i'm not necessarily saying that there aren't other worthy categories of projects that ought to be part of this mix, but at least articulate what is already generally the practice of the commission. we're working on language that we will be circulating to the public shortly that hopefully we can review. >> thank you, i look forward to seeing it. finally, i'll turn it over to supervisor kim. in terms of the fair argument versus substantial evidence, this has been, i will say, just to be honest, a frustration since the beginning of this process. we are -- ceqa is the state law and we are bound by it. we cannot amend it. we cannot change the standards under ceqa. ceqa provides certain standards around substantial evidence, fair argument, and we could amend our local code until the cows come home to

and he was committed tro bring potential amendments into wiener's proposal and he ask for more time to do so. the items were all continued to the call of the chair and they had discussed potentially holding a special hearing on june 3rd, but at this point there's been no further meeting announced and the items were continued to the call of the chair. at the full board of supervisors on tuesday, the historic park district was heard and this was sponsored by wiener and it was by approval. we create a new district and it was unanimously on the first reading. and supervisor comps poss -- composs added. this would review committee with the city's better street plan and this would include the mayor, the director of public work, the director of the municipal transportation agency, the director of planning and the general planning of the puc and the director of economic work force development and the city fire marshal. this is sponsored by wiener and yee and secondly supervisor breed introduced a planning committee, and this would amend section 703 to expand the formula retail uses but it will

i was expecting supervisor -- either supervisor chiu or supervisor wiener might want to come in here. >> would like me to give their office a phone call? >> okay recess is over. [gavel] . there. madam clerk could you call items four and five together? >> yes mr. chair. item four ordinance amending the municipal elections code to specify that it will not have the legal text that exceeds 100 pages. item five amending the elections code that the voter information pamphlet will not include the legal text of any ballot measure that exceeds 20 pages. >> okay. supervisor -- president chiu is here to join us and he will speak on this item. president chiu. >> thank you mr. chair. thank you colleagues for consideration of this item and let me first thank supervisor wiener for his consideration of a very similar item. turns out great minds were thinking alike dealerring with an issue around a inordinately large handbook this year and we will likely to save the city 1.7 million dollars with the proposals that we have and i would like to recognize supervisor wiener's aid that is here and i recogni

supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? supervisor kim? kim aye. there are 10 ayes. >> motion is approved. [gavel] >> colleagues, we have two special orders at 3 o'clock, but before we do that, why don't we go straight to roll call. >> supervisor mar, you are first on row call for introduction. >> thank you. thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, today in conjunction with my co-sponsors jane kim and malia cohen, i'm introducing a new version of the substitute version of our healthy food retailer ordinance legislation that we introduced several months ago. this is a stronger effort now that's been cleaned up and it has even more support not only from the supervisors from the tenderloin and the bayview, which have broad strong coalitions of community based groups that are supporting this, but also the arab american grocers association and others that are supportive. this incentive program will c

my name is scott wiener, the chairman of the committee. to my left is supervisor david chiu, a member of the committee. i apologize for beginning a few minutes late, but the subway was experiencing some sort of melt down this morning so it took me a little longer than anticipate today get here. we'll be joined by supervisor jane kim shortly. our clerk is melissaer and i want to thank sfgtv for broadcasting today's meeting john ross and mark bunch. and for those who are watching or here, we are on item 1, we are hearing at 9:00 a.m. and then the remaining items on the agenda we will recess and then hear at 1:30 p.m. we're trying to juggle land use committee in conjunction with the budget committee since we are the heightest budget season. so, madam clerk, do you have any announcements? >> yes. please make sure to silence on cell phones and electronic devices. completed speaker cards including copies of files should be submitted to the clerk. item acted upon today will appear on the june 259tion board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise s

supervisor wiener noted this is the 11th public hearing on his ordinance. supervisor kim stated that she was pleased to see the two ordinances moving closer to each other in content. and supervisor chiu said he believes that the 11th hour is at hand and that the ordinances should move out of committee and to the full board. supervisor chiu proposed a series of potential amendments. they were not made in the committee level, but they will be addressed at the full board. both supervisor kim's ordinance and supervisor wiener's ordinance were forwarded to the full board for potential consideration next week. there is still a separate ordinance from supervisor kim that is pending for hearing before this commission and before the historic preservation commission. and the second ordinance would establish a process for appeal to the planning commission of the environmental review officer's decision about modifications to a project. supervisor kim's second ordinance and the potential supervisor chiu ordinance addressing the same issue had been scheduled for july 25t

and, supervisor wiener, you should rejoice. this is the closest we've ever come to getting exactions on a major development project that is almost equal twain transit and affordable housing and two issues i know are very dear to your heart. i just want to conclude by saying that the recent amendments including language in article 46 of the administrative code was necessary and sufficient and i want to thank city staff for seeing the wisdom of doing that. the language, special language that the city developed that took the place of article 56 was very good for as far as it went, but it took out a very important public notice requirement that's in article 56. we now have it back. we have the best of all worlds. thank you all. >> thank you. next speaker. >>> hi, my name is joseph flanagan and i truly 100% support cpmc for their work, patience, and with the staff who helps the patients. i myself am a client of cpmc and i have a doctor and i thank very much to cpmc for having the doctor that i have. i will help as much as i can for

i also want to thank supervisor avalos and wiener for raising some points. i do want to add i think to start you tell in kind of piggy bacon some of the supervisors comments. there's a lot about pb on the issues you raised. and the two ways are to number one design the process that inequity issues are prioritized and number it to allocating the resources to make sure it's implemented correctly. i want to say that out front. i wanted to start out with a short video a new video that our organization just is finishing up production on about pb and kind of to bring more of a human face to this and then get to my power presentation >> come out and vote and decide - >> is the - try to communities and you pay taxes and come out and vote and decide how our tax dollars get spent. >> budget is a different way to engage the government and decide highway tax dollars are paint e spent. >> the reality is who knows better about their community. no one else can make a better decide for you, you. this is different because you're voting for where the money it going to be spen
