i want to thank supervisor wiener for bringing up this issue. the -- i get in my district actually concerns lighting or the lack of lighting or broken lighting and so forth are many of the calls i get. i appreciate you're bringing this issue. i think it's very important and we need to have discussion around it. i would, at some point, that we need to put some resources into improving our streetlighting. i'm a little concerned about that it is being brought up at a late time. i would have appreciated more if this had come up a lot earlier, but like supervisor avalos, i believe that this is only a week, it's worth having some focused discussion around this issue. i don't necessarily think that i might be supporting amendments at the end, but i'm willing to listen to the arguments. what it does for me is that we're making a statement that this board believes that streetlighting is very important as we move forward and i hope that's a message, if nothing else, to the capital planning committee that they need to -- we need to start addressing this is

supervisor wiener? >> aye. >> wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? >> aye. >> avalos aye. supervisor breed? >> aye. >> breed aye. supervisor campos? >> aye. >> campos aye. supervisor chiu? >> aye. >> chiu aye. supervisor cohen? aye. supervisor farrell? aye. supervisor kim? kim aye. the there are 11 ayes. >> the ordinance is passed on first reading and the ordinance is adopted. [gavel] >> why don't we now go to general public comment, madam clerk. >> at this time the public may comment generally for up to two minutes on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board including those items on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. please note that public comment is not allowed on items which have already been subject to public comment by a board committee and pursuant to board rule 4.22, please direct your remarks to the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors nor to the audience. speakers using translation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time. and if you would like a document to be displayed on the ov

but thank you to supervisor chiu and supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. and i also just neglected to mention in my initial remarks, and i said this last week and i really meant it, i'll say it again. that we have a terrific capital planning process. it's i think one of the best things that's happened to san francisco fiscally over the last decade in terms of having a ten-year capital plan, a catalog of the capital needs of the city, a good plan in terms of how to finance it, when to send bonds out. it is a big improvement over the way we used to do it, which was a little less methodical. so i'm a huge support of the capital plan and capital planning committee and its step. with that said, there are going to be times we have disagreements and ultimately we at the board of supervisors or the mayor, elected policy makers for this city, so, it is natural and appropriate for us to have these kinds of discussions which may at times mean that we have some disagreements. but those disagreements should never be interpreted as criticizing the process because i thin

and thank you supervisor wiener. i think that your comment [inaudible] for more information are well taken and i think that my view is a little different than what has been put out there. i think that the more information we have the better, but i think in making sure that accurate information is provided to the public we need to make sure different perspectives are taken into account and the realty is there will be some people on this board that may on one side thrf issues and others on the orelt side. i think we need to have a conver saigz to figure what those questions should be because any good lawyer knows how you frame the question impacts the question you get. one concern i have with respect to the request presented is that the jenitous of it came from one side of the this political fight and while i respect the right of individuals to present their view, if want to make sure if you are asking for additional information every side has a chance to do that. i respect it is being sent to committee >> this hads be

support. >> thank you, supervisor wiener. >> thank you. i want to thank president chiu for his continued representation. i've said this publicly before and again, that our capital plan is one of the best things that has happened in city government in a lot of years and it's added enormous value in terms of our being able to catalog what our capital assets are, what their needs are and then putting a plan in place to address those needs. i want to commend the capital planning committee and commend brian strong who's here, who does a fantastic job on that committee. i'm very supportive of this very important bond. with that said, we are ultimately the policymakers who need to make decisions about the capital needs and financing those needs and one of the unfortunate items deficiencies of our capital plan is that class of very important municipal assets is missing, and that is our streetlight system. as you know over the last year and a half, i have called for two separate hearings on our streetlight challenges and you all -- many of you have

but thank you to supervisor chiu and supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. and i also just neglected to mention in my initial remarks, and i said this last week and i really meant it, i'll say it again. that we have a terrific capital planning process. it's i think one of the best things that's happened to san francisco fiscally over the last decade in terms of having a ten-year

that supervisor wiener is scg for land yeas this is something she preferred to rules and think i want to let you know that is consistent with the practice. if people want to take a different approach, that is fine. i do believe that if it is rules, that it will get a fair hearing on rules and i know the chair and the rest of us will try to be as fair as possible. >> sprz visor kim. >> i will read again the rules committee [inaudible] we are not hearing the land use elements, this is something already on the ballot so the board of phrvisor isn't debating the merit of the measuring, we are discusing the rules around how we discuss ballot measures we put on. i know it is a motion on the floor and if it doesn't go forward i will rerf it to rules committee. the commitsty chair has the discretion to call the item and a special committee meeting. there are a number of options we have to move this forward in a timely fashion >> supervisor wiener >> first of all, if we are going read the rules language, the use of land and economic [inaudible] if this measure doesn't relate to land use and hou

i would like to thank our supervisor wiener and working closely with the p.d., department department of public works and the ability to present an internet connectivity wireless ability along market street has been very important to me because it is part of what we were trying to do on the whole market street. so, today is of course announcing that the department of technology has been able to complete this with a very special partner ruckus wireless and i know selena is here today and i want to thank her for providing the professional guidance, the hardware as well as the good technical advice to the department of technology along with all the other partners that you see behind me working together to collaborate on this. so as of today, we have wireless technology free to the public. also not filtered. you can use it anonymously. all along, from here all the way to the ferry building, probably about the length of kaepernick pass to vernon davis as the whole market street and it's all of it's crosses streets and sidewalks will have access to wireless accessibility. why is this import
