>>supervisor jane kim: i second those amendments. >>supervisor scott weiner: with that said, let's go to public comment. i have one public comment card. >> thank you for your attention on this important issue the land use hearing when we had over 50 people out to testify for the community support. i'm here for legal services for prisonser with children receive this as a critical human rights issue to end discrimination against people who have been formally incarcerated and i urge you to adopt this as amended thank you very much. >> thank you mr. chairman and good afternoon, it's a pleasure to be here in front of the board. i'm marsha rose. i'm quite familiar with this issue. my organization published a guide to housing rights of people with criminal histories back in 2008, i believe and we've worked on this issue with legal services with civil rights advocates throughout the country for a number of years. we were involved in earlier discussions about this ordinance but somehow we were not included in the recent discussions and i did

>>supervisor jane kim: i'm not able to see. maybe the, if you can -- i can't see the southeastern part of the city. i want to see the full scene. i don't have one. >> you have a copy. it actually does show to the bottom. >> that orange area. >>supervisor jane kim: so when you are talking about the eastern neighborhood you are talking about lower portrero. what about the shipyard, are they not generating any impact fees? >> right. those programs are run through cii. we don't cover that. this you for reminding me. i want to give you a sense of which area i'm talking about today. what i'm doing is going through each of these plan areas and talk about the highlights of which infrastructure projects we anticipate we'll be moving forward in the next 5 years. in each plan there is a number of the projects. i'm happy to field any questions about specific projects and also in the back of that document i just handed you, there is a table that details each project. >>supervisor jane kim: i just want to take a moment to

and i hope that you will join supervisor kim and i in voting favorably for this legislation. mr. chair, the rest i give back to supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you, supervisor cohen and president chiu. it's always important to put a face behind legislation. and today's legislation is for these very individuals. the fair chance act is for an individual named don he will who was fired from his janitorial job whos was fired for failing to tell about a 1974 arrest for transpesting. the fair chance act is for a woman named sandee who won the lottery at nema across the street, but was disqualified because she failed to pay child support in the late 1990s, even though she served time for that failure. the fair chance act is for denise who was told she shouldn't bother to apply for a job as a cook because she had a conviction for shop lifting when she was in high school. as supervisor cohen mentioned, for one in four adults in the united states, an arrest or conviction record is a stigma that means "you need not apply." these examples are real life obstacles preventing indivi

supervisor kim. >> thank you. i just had some quick questions. i appreciate you going through the process of looking at alternatives before we looked at installing our own bathrooms. actually it's less of a land use issue for me, right-of-way. which i know the cost issue is the appropriate place for that is budget committee. so, you had mentioned on third and hudson. what were the operating hours of the taco bell and kfc that made it inappropriate? ~ the service line hours? >> they're open from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m. and the line runs from 6:45 to 12:15 a.m. >> okay. so, there was nothing that was starting that -- open that early? >> early enough or late enough. [speaker not understood]. >> and the same on -- i'm sorry, third and fitzgerald? >> let's see. the line runs from 6:30 to 1:00 a.m. and the businesses that we contacted were essentially 9:00 to 5:00. >> i see he, okay. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor kim ~. i will also just add i have been involved in this issue for quite sometime. when the mta first came forward with the idea of th

>>supervisor scott weiner: supervisor kim, i believe we made and amendment last week. supervisor cohen is coauthor. >> thank you. i know we have members of the public today. we did have to continue the item last week because we made some amendments that were substantive. i know there are some amendments that supervisor cohen will be making. i don't have any further comment before we make those amendments. >>supervisor scott weiner: supervisor cohen in >>supervisor malia cohen: all right. the goal of the amendment is to eliminate the conscious and unconscious bias that exist during housing and hiring decisions as well as promoting public safety and what we are trying to do is eliminate some of

kimberly luis: kim -- >>supervisor jane kim: i have a question. i was curious if you can give me your interpretation of the residential? >> residential means a bed or cot where a person is able to lie down and fall sleep. sleeping in a chair is not considered residential. >>supervisor jane kim: okay, what about sleeping in a floor? >> in a horizontal position, that maybe, but again, you would have to talk to the building official to get their clarification on residential also. the building code and the fire code tend to share the same definition. >> when you say tend, do they or not, if they do not, where do they differ? >> i don't have the code with me so i can't give you a direct answer to that. i can get back to you if you would like. >>supervisor jane kim: i would appreciate you getting back to me, thank you. >> any other questions? >>supervisor jane kim: mr. chair, it's all yours. >>supervisor scott weiner: i think we are done. >> thank you. >>supervisor scott weiner: now we'll bring department of public health for a presentation and then to

>>supervisor jane kim: i would louvre -- love to get some of that research. i too understand we should have one code enforcement department. i would like to get more data. >> i actually wrote my masters project. i believe it's out of date but there is a lot of information that would be helpful to you. i can make sure i can get you a copy of it. if i can quickly make one comment about dbi, you were concerned about a lot of these properties that seem to sit in a state of disrepair for many years. part of the problem is dbi can only force the property owner to secure the property. if they succeed in securing it then dbi has very little control in actually forcing the property owner to fix the situation. if dbi believes it's secure, they have very little ability to achieve further compliance. >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you very much. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is leticia, we are an immigrant rights association in oakland. our tenant rights in both cities we have over 1,000 cases that we manage each year. we have a partner of the code enforceme

i first would like to say from the bottom of my heart to thank jim -- i mean jane kim and malia cohen for bringing on this initiative for us. growing up in the bayview hunters point back in the early '80s and '90s wasn't always easy. some of us have felonies on our records because of hearsay, not of actual crimes that we committed. because of the discrimination and the pipeline to prison and the color of our skin, we are often categorized and cast out of everything. so, i do believe that this is a new day. the system that has all set us up as failure can be broken and can be mended. we are new people and it's a new day and it's a new time. and like martin luther king said, whether we go from here, chaos in the community, thank all you supervisors because i see we're going for community. >> thank you, ms. [speaker not understood]. >>> good afternoon. excuse my voice, i'm kind of sick. my name is isabelle perez and i work firsthand with felons coming home from prison [speaker not understood] and i just want to say thank you on behalf of all the folks that i work with because this is hug

i >> [inaudible] supervisor comps, i >> [inaudible] coen rks i. supervisor kim. i. supervisor tank. tang, i. there are 9 y >> that motion is approved.

i want to thank supervisor mar, yee, kim and avalos. i know this is a topic that is personal for many of us as the sons and daughters of immigrants, the grandsons and great granddaughters of immigrants. the first time i ever came to this board chamber was 15 years ago to testify and support our city's sanctuary policy. part of why wanted to move this resolution and i know many of us did and it's because of the many stories of immigrants who are having their families ripped apart. in particular, i want to mention we have heard 1200 of our janitors families have been tragically impacted by the fact that we have not been able to pass con hen sieve immigration reform. this calls on our president to stop our immigration deportations, close to 2 million under this administration to extend the deferred action for childhood arrivals program to all eligible members of our undocument family because it doesn't do any good if we have a dreamer student who's allowed to stay whose mother and father are being ripped away. this should call to an end. l

and i will hand it to supervisor kim. >> thank you, chair wiener. okay, seeing no further comments or questions, we we are going to open up at this time for public comment. i am going to call up 10 cards at a time. please line up on the -- on that side of the room. i guess your right-hand side, my left-hand side. and just come up to the mic. you will each have two minutes which i know is not a lot of time on a legislation that is doing so much, but perhaps if someone has already made your point, you can chat on a different point. if you are in the overflow room and i call your name please come into the room. i have james tracy. ooh. why don't we take a moment to figure out what is going on with the lighting. [pause] [laughter] >> it's okay, we're fine. >> go ahead. >> so, james tracy. dwayne sears. orlan real. michael hanson. anexel rama. stephen tennis. natalie lions. vivian imperial. elihu hernandez. and matthew [speaker not understood]. hi, [speaker not understood]. >>> i would like to make a dramatic entrance. normally doesn't get that dramatic

and i hope that you will join supervisor kim and i in voting favorably for this legislation. mr. chair, the rest i give back to supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you, supervisor cohen and president chiu. it's always important to

i know that kim [inaudible] looked up to her mom all her life. her mom taught the importance of education and [inaudible] her mom went back to school and became a industrial mechanic when kim [inaudible] was in elementary school. following on that legacy of lifep long learning [inaudible] kim is planning to continue her education after completing the term on the board of education. she is planning to attend law school and on top of that she will get a doctorate in education and a teaching credential as usf. as if [inaudible] on top of she is a track and field coach. she has a beautiful daurft [inaudible] who has a beautiful daughter herself. [inaudible] the grand daughter marly [inaudible] who a is 3 years old. i can sit and talk about kim [inaudible] for a long time because i don't know if there are enough words [inaudible] san francisco has been enriched by you and i know you have not aul alreceived the recognition you deserve, but today at the supervisor for disrbt 9 it is my honor to recognize your accomplishment squz thank for making san fra

i want to start by thanking supervisors kim and cohen for their leadership on this issue. i direct our second chance legal clinic. each month a resident of san francisco comes to our clinic looking for help in overcoming the barriers they're facing due to a arrest or prior conviction. they're looking for stable jobs and housing. but because of the stigma of having a prior record they're prevented from being able to support themselves and their families. i want to give a couple exam ifsv from our clients experiences. one of our clients was honest about her past convictions and she was hired at her company. years later a new owner came in and conducted background checks and she was fired. the new owner had an across the board policy against people with convictions even though there was nothing new on her record and she had an exemplary work history at the company. another client was brought in at his new job and had already started his training program when the background check came back. the report said that he had a felony conviction when in fact he only had a misdemeanor

[inaudible] comps i. resident chew. i. co00, i. [inaudible] supervisor kim. kim i. supervisor mar, i. [inaudible] there are i. item twen is the water front [inaudible] right to vote city department kw measure the impact on the city future [inaudible] >> our colleague mentioned this is a krait forward resolution that is one thing thats i think should be non cont vurls, but i think [inaudible] become cont vurlsh even though they shouldn't. it requires information and analysis for the city department about what the impacts will be of this measure which is qualified for the ballot [inaudible] not to take a position and not recommend a change to the ballot measure but to provide information and analysis so the public knows what the impacts are and that public can make an informed decision one way or the other whether to support or not support the ballot measure. the resolution indicates a viryty of subject matter by different departments on housing production, affordable housing, occupyen space infrastructure, transit and so forth thrmpt are a number of departments being

supervisor kim, would you like me to go first? >> that's okay. i apologize. i thought this was item 29, so, i'll start. >> okay, supervisor kim. >> this is something really exciting for us to celebrate. many of you know that i've been working for the last year and a half -- year with supervisor kim. you heard me speak about the importance of this legislation when we introduced it last week. this legislation supervisor kim and i have been working on is really borne out of our desire to provide real employment opportunities and housing opportunities to individuals that have a conviction history. one in four californianses have a conviction on their record. i represent a district with the highest percentage of individuals who have this conviction history. and data tells us that access to housing and employment opportunities are key components to preventing recidivism and supporting public safety in our communities. the legislation is really long overdue and this is -- certainly think supervisor kim agrees, this is landmark legislation and it's long overdue and i

i know supervisor kim talked about the south of market tenderloin convention. i know, for instance, we were both [speaker not understood] and i know in the castro tenant convention there were dozens of ideas that were put forward. the most popular was actually the idea of increasing relocation costs. and i think the reason for its popularity is the fact that it is really the most immediate thing. [speaker not understood] we need to change the ellis act. in the meantime unless we make it so that relocation costs are sufficient for people to live in san francisco, you're not going to have a lot of people remain in san francisco who are being evicted. and i forgot to thank the tenant advocates who have been working with my office on this piece of legislation, including the tenants shallv union, casa justa and the housing rights committee and there are so many others. and the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor campos. supervisor wiener. >> thank you, madam clerk, for rereferring me. i did neglect to thank a couple people. i agree with supervisor mar

i think supervisor kim and i know how lucky we are that right now the investor confidence shows itself up in the brick and mortar and the jobs that we have. thank you very much for being here and being part of this success industry. [ -- story. [ applause ] [ applause ] >>> thank you, mayor for your very supportive comments. we really appreciate it. next i would like to introduce doug shoemaker, president of housing. >> good morning, everyone. doug shoemaker, the president of housing california. it's great to be here again. as the mayor said we really have the commitment in san francisco to make communities like this inclusive and as hard as it's these days to deal with the affordable housing crisis we are facing with in our city, it's not without a lack of effort. it's two of our best officials in the country mayor lee and supervisor kim, we are going to do everything we can to make affordable housing in san francisco possible. i want say a few thank yous. i want to thank our contractors for doing the phenomenal work and moving won this project. i want to thank bruce prescott, our arc

[gavel] >> okay, like to note i have been joined by board president david chiu and supervisor jane kim. at this point, mr. clerk, will you call item number 4? >> item number 4, ordinance appropriating $2,515,000 to the mayor's office of housing for fiscal year 2013-2014, establishing the nonprofit rent stabilization program. >> okay, thank you very much. this item was sponsored by president chiu and supervisor kim. i will turn it over to first president chiu to speak. >> thank you, colleagues. and appreciate all the work you are doing today. i know today is a long meeting. so, today, colleagues, i am asking along with supervisor kim for your support for a supplemental appropriation before us to assist nonprofits that have been impacted by the rising commercial rents in the mid-market tax exclusion zone. we have all heard the many stories of the challenges facing the nonprofits that are responsible for our social safety net and this is a supplemental that would be funded directly by the tax increases in our city would be receiving in the zone during -- it is based on revenue growth so i

(kim) i think that when i was around five or so, my main goal was trying to get a sticker on my page. to say, "yeah, by october 22nd, i got this piece right." the ear is going to hear this [plays] right? (kim) i think very recently i looked at music on a totally different level where i dissect the piece first in my mind. and then i try to work it out in my hands. (pagano) i do find a point where there's a very profound change, and it usually happens around the age of 13 or 14. they all of the sudden understand what music means to them. they're moved by it, and it is part of them, and it's become part of their life, and they will always have it because it's their's, and they own it. [classical piano music continues] funding for this program was provided by the annenberg/cpb project. here, kitty, kitty! here, kitty, kitty, kitty! here, kitty, kty you'd think it would be ea to tell which kids had trouble with their eyesight. [ thud ] but that's not always the case. even though one in four children may have a vision problem, eye doctors tell us the symptoms aren't always so obvious. we do

very much. >> thank you. >> and commissioner kim? >> actually, i would just want to ditto on commissioner's comments and i just want to thank chair avalos for putting this together, i think that if we meet several times during the year and that we can help to push forward and the resolution that we had introduced and looking forward to make sure that we were able to implement and fund this fund so that we can get to zero fatalities in ten years. >> thank you. >> commissioner cohen? >> thank you. >> this is exciting, i was in a neighborhood meeting just last night with the neighbors around rhode island and 23rd and 25th and i have the significant problems in the areas in the south east part of the city and i have not had many fatalities and it is my hope that we will be able to prevent the potential future fatality and i just wanted to call into records, just some of the few areas that i would like this body or the establishing the committee to pay attention to around third street and third and evan and bay shore from augusta and to t

motion is made second by supervisor mayor. >> no >> supervisor kim >> the motion is made, but i think this [inaudible] it isn't about land use, it is about study of the ballot item but i get scheduling is something we should have talked with the rules committee sairchair about, but i think this is within their jurisdiction. we won't hear the land use iletm or the imication of the measure, we are ininstructing on how to study ballot measures so to me that has nothing to do with land use and will vote against this [inaudible] supervisor ye, you text [inaudible] to find out if we can get this calendared? >> i texted earlier and the reply was we need to talk about it, meaning there are other things slated. lots of things tend to get continued, so i also don't want to bump everything to the items to be >> is it possible to ask a clar of the committee that you can priorities things that need to be addressed in a timely manner? my next question is to the state attorney, is there precedence that there is a pattern that it go tooz the rules committee, are there other rules where that has not h

and especially supervisor kim's office as well and i think that the police conditions make a lot of sense to me, making it a pilot, to see how it goes, and i am just hoping that you work with supervisor office and really think about that, the recommendations from the abc, or the alcohol licensing unit, seemed reasonable to me. >> okay. >> now i want to hear from the officer and one of the things that is disturbing about this is that what we are hearing from the applicant is different from what the supervisor's office heard from the applicant and that is never a good sign, officer? >> and i can either read from the report or we can go to the questions if you like, it is a very simple process for us and we look at the consideration points and when we are issuing recommendations for an alcohol license, in this particular case, less than 600 feet from a couple of one of them being a playground right across the street. >> and i was involved with him directly from the on set of the initial investigation. and what occurred from that point, and what we like to do we like to reach out to the
