without objection. >> next item, please. >> chair peskin. >> yes, supervisor chan. >> chair peskin. this is a discussion more if i may ask or make a comment really. you know, i think that this is not -- should not be a reflection of mr. minta's qualifications. from my experience from the appointee that withdrew mr. gonzalez from sheriff oversight committee through the questioning we had last week. let's be more thoughtful moving some of these great candidates but may not be suitable for the body. they are probably very committed community members to do the right thing, let's be more thoughtful when we start moving forward and sending appoint beties to the rules committee for appointments and to think through about the qualification and interest and the expertise of these individuals. that is all i have to say. thank you, mr.minta, for submission of your application. >> thank you for those very well-taken, very mature comments. supervisor mandelman anything to add or subtract? >> i think this is a nomination like this raises interesting questions. in general i would like to defer to

we have a great to chair peskin's question. we as an organization have set on the committee that looked at the closer of the juvenile justice halls that we have and we are in full support of closing down those facilities. i've spent time at 850 bryant. i've spent time in our jails and prison systems. before coming to san francisco, i worked for an organization which was apart of a re-entry initiative where i spent time up and down the state of california not only in our jails, but inside our prison system sitting down in jails with men and women who have been justice involved and helping them reenter back. with that, i just want to say, thank you again for an opportunity to be here. another opportunity to serve the city and county of san francisco. as we know, this body doesn't currently exist and that's one of the things that has me most excited about it is being able to put in those hard earned hours to really see this body being what some of our other commissions and bodies are here in the city and county of san francisco an

i want to acknowledge supervisor peskin has joined us. welcome, supervisor peskin. i participate your parts on this item. and so vice chair chan will take a lead on this item introduced and i believe we'll hear from bla controller and perhaps others. i want to remind folks we're trying to stick to 10 minutes to each presenter and with that i'll hand it to director chan. >> clerk: would you like me to call the item? >> commissioner: i forgot to ask you to do that, mr. clerk. please do. >> clerk: item 3, a hearing to discuss the parks alliance with the focus on renewing the gate park 150th anniversary agreement between sf parks alliance and recreation and park department, to determine whether the terms of this agreement have been incorrectly categorized as a permit when they substantially resemble a contract, which has different public oversight and approval processes; and members who want to provide comment call the number, 1-415-655-0001. the meeting i.d. is 2496 330 1479. after you've entered the meeting i.d. dial the pound symbol twice to connect to the meeting an

chairman. >> thank you supervisor peskin. supervisor chan. >> i think this is the question, perhaps, i'm not sure who i could direct this question for -- and get answer from. with knowing -- there's a few things we have identified through this report and i have questions like we now know -- we should request for more information, we do not know why parks alliance is receiving 200 something thousand dollars from the revenue generated from the sky wheel. we don't know what the expenses are for. we're going to get more information. i don't know what extent beyond what we have done within our power through the budget legislative office. it is through you we try to get that information. that's one. and the second part of it is then, while it is true that i'm glad now we started this whole inquiry, they are trying to do all these mou but they are in progress. they are all trying to figure out moving forward, however, i do think that we have the responsibility to taxpayers from 2003 -- like what happened from 2003 and 2012, or reall

supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: yeah, i did not get the amendments until literally this very second. in a fast moving environment on mondays, it would be good if port staff wouldn't just send them to my staff but also send them to me personally, and that way, i would read them before the meeting rather than as i am right now. so if you could tell that to mr. [indiscernible], i will see what amendments you're talking about. >> duly noted, and i will, supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: no problem. >> chair melgar: we're going to take public comment, but these are not substantive? >> that's correct. the legal interpretation -- >> supervisor peskin: okay. i'll look at them -- i'm looking at them right now. >> that is correct. it is my understanding, as well. they were filling in blanks that were left as place holders for motions and dates. >> chair melgar: okay. so if there are no further comments or questions, let's go to public comment. madam clerk? >> clerk: thank you. d.t. is checking to

well, thank you supervisor peskin, thanks again calling for this hearing. and these are very important issues that don't often get the attention that they need or deserve given all the pressing issues that we're dealing with as a board and as a city so this is an important opportunity to get updates and look at how we can practice our urbancanopy to a higher priority . so i think i would suggest or move that we file this hearing and then we can. >> we need to take public comments mister chair. >> chair: madamclerk, public comment . >> for those who wish to speak on this item please press star three to enter the q will indicate you have raised your hand. that will be yourcue to begin your comments . it appears we have five in the queue. please bring the first caller forward. i am the chair of the parks and trees to many and also the producer and director of a movieabout birds who love trees , the wild parrots of telegraph hill. i would like you to please add my voice to the street activists who have been trying without success to preserve and enlarge san fra

supervisor peskin has about the problem and solution. millennium tire is constructed at the corner of mission and fremont street. like most of the financial district south of the market area of san francisco, underlying the city consists of artificial fill since the gold rush. young bay muddy possit is from the deposits when the san francisco bay covered that area. deep layer now 70 food down 70-f beach sand did not cover. [indiscernable] a very deep layer 150 feet of material called old lay clay. eventually about 230 feet down formation bedrock. the tower like every building constructed in that part of san francisco prior to 2010 is a series of piles that extend down into the dens sand layer for the foundation support. the reason the building is settling is that under the effect of the building weight as supervisor peskin said is significantly larger than buildings constructed prior to that is causing a process called consolidation of the old bay clays beneath the building pile. consolidation is the pressure created by the building and
