Thank you, mr. Mayor and at this point, id like to recognize a supervisor from district 3 supervisor peskin. Thank you Planning Department he rides with regard to a question about the super bowl as the district 3rd supervisor ive been fielding a high number of complaints via email and by telephone on the streets that the city didnt act as relocate roe responsibly with the nfl to host the super bowl 50 and taken precautions to make sure that San Francisco will be reimbursed to accommodate those vents and complaints about the lack of transparency im interested in knowing who in the midsts was the lead negotiator at it tale deal and who are the members of the Action Committee as you may know im a recent rearrival im missing the last couple of years and i come to it with an open mind love to hear our response supervisor peskin thank you for that question ive heard a number of accurate address misleading question about the super bowl 50 and take this opportunity to clarify and set the record straight first many of you remember that San Francisco and the bay area had to compete to host the 50th super bowl competing with miami and houston what a bid that was backed by the board of supervisors in a rare solution of support on october of 2012 and most relevance recently by the Small Business Commission Last time the bay area bid has an economic and culture benefits including u including International Support and tax revenues and private Sector Investment but most importantly for the unprecedented commitment to charity and philanthropy that our super bowl 50 Host Committee has pledged 25 percent of all fund raised going to local nonprofits that Host Committee as you may know is led by our open Tipping Point leader and is compromised of business and sport and philanthropic leaders in San Francisco and throughout the San Francisco bay Area Supervisor you asked about the membership the complete mileperhour can be found on the website all right. The Host Committee given millions of grants by mo magic and the third youth and the Lgbt Community center and the Telegraph Hill center in your own District Supervisor peskin and form of weve working hard through the office of Economic Workforce Development to make sure that the super bowl leads to impactful local spending to the Business Connect Program making ours the first super bowl to specifically target local lgbt and small contractors thousands of workers in the private sector and building trade members benefit from the wages and over time pay from workrelated to super bowl 50 leader of organized labor the Hotel Workers and Building Trades wrote a letter for the tremendous benefit that super bowl 50 is bringing to San Francisco. Well, you know ive encouraged some people trying to compare the super bowl 50 to the americas cup but well, thats kind of like football to needing it didnt make sense every city that has hosted did super bowl is eager but to have it back and, yes there are some has nothing to do with hassles and traffic but the positive Economic Impact is measured after the game totals in hundreds of dollars of Million Dollars dollars and Million Dollars 2, 3, 4 direct revenues for the host regions we will see the same here in doubt after review by the controller ive requested the terms felt quote unquote deal between San Francisco and the super bowl are actually quite simple in return for letting us host super bowl 50 in the city a free public festival we as a city provide the basic serves of the transit and public works it is the same relationship between the city and all the great free public event in San Francisco from the annual pride and Chinese New Year parade to fleet week and every cough of years the world series for our giant im comfortable with the event it is part of what makes our city a worldclass city sadly people see the negative aspects of super bowl 50 it didnt help our city im proud to be the mayor to help host super bowl 50 and proud the host economy has devoted mills to charity and free opportunity for the public to celebrate super bowl im excited for the citys time in the international spotlight and hope youll join me in promoting and sharing the where you have place we call home the only regret i must admit our own 49ers are not going to the super bowl thank you. Now well have a question from our colleague from district 11 im sorry supervisor peskin unfortunately, we wont be able to do any followup i apologize supervisor campos thank you, mr. Mayor for coming here today last tuesday you introduced a enlightenment to double the inclusionary requirement on the june ballot in out of the out of control release market we agree we are in are you going to on the record be on the record of supporting the Charter Amendment as released that 71 percent of the voters feel. Supervisor campos thats a good question you know back in did he december of last year, i along with supervisor president london breed announced a consensus to increase the inclusionary housing requirement you supervisor were invited to participate as supervisor kim and all members of the board well, we all share a goal as you indicate we all agree on that much more on this than we disagree when it comes to Affordable Housing we need nor Affordable Housing and we should require marketrate developers to build and pay for which of it our housing crisis calls for a significant increase to the citys inclusionary requirement we agreed to that where we seem to differ supervisor is whether or not increases should be based on professional and independent Economic Data and shareholders unquote about i cant support on approach that arrest trilateral shows the percentages regardless of Building Size or geography the measure i introduced last week is a critical addition to the Charter Amendment thats been proposed we will raise our citys inclusionary requirement the question simply is how i want to answer that question quickly with a study by our independent controller and the Planning Department Economic Feasibility needs to be our guiding principle for an dramatic untints circumstances would result if we set the inclusionary rates too low, of course, we now h have as our 12 percent inflexible we leave Affordable Housing on the table and we dont maximize affordability on that i think we agree on the other hand, if you set rates too high it is possible that fewer unit will be built over the next couple of years particularly for middleincome san franciscans im concerned that the result of the Charter Amendment and the ordinance setting an inflexible floor only luxurious highrise sell for millions of dollars each will not move forward while thousands of desperately moderately units blow in case will be stopped in their tracks by onerous regulations my ballot measure is not a champion to the others a crippled Security Guard against businesses it take into account no analysis or process i want to build as much avenue as possible i believe my ballot measure gets to if goal owe and two months ago i called stakeholder of Affordable Housing developers and housing activists and all interested parties with the city staff to hammer out the changes to the laws that allows us to ask and demand nor Affordable Housing from our developers i charged them to do anaphic analysis from around the country we need their input before we set new inclusionary rates for the minimum we must allow for flexibility inform our own laws to incorporate their feedback and this of our controller and chief consist the measure directs the Planning Department and controllers staff to insure that a appropriate study and analysis is done before the board considers changes to the Affordable Housing laws was it didnt do is arbitrarily impose more regulars whos effects are not known and hamper the avenue in San Francisco supervisors there is plenty of time to cooperate to create the results we all want more Affordable Housing for low and madam clerk, any announcements .

The police in our communities are dictated with the power of the state to protect us and guess what to protect our children. Uhhuh clapping. so dr. King would say how is it possible in the expense exercise of police power that the choose of the application of leigh choice it the first choice clapping. now you know when you were whether a corporation or business on a political situation you dont choose the problems you have to deal with you have to deal with them okay.

Woods this resolution is ultimately because of everything they have said because of everything that we as a city have fought for and i really dont have the words to capture the importance of this you thank us quentin lynwoods i want to thank you because by standing up to the bullying and intamentsz weve seen not only standing up for yourself for your family but youre standing up for an entire city that says we do not have to choose between intimations and compassionate we as San Francisco the city of st. Francis see nothing wrong with recognizing we have a problem clapping. through this day of remembrance not only are rehonoring the memory of mario woods but honoring all the people that have been impacted by this lack of trust in our Police Department i see seen the father of alex also in the audience and the mother clapping. and i would ask them clapping. this day of remembrance is for them too it is for the family of lopez clapping. and i chp. I will note that i know that supervisor avalos has an item later on because what we welcome the mayor is calling for a federal investigation which actually had previously been called for the by the president and supervisor cowen not limited to one case but these kinds clapping. then and then end up with this one of the of the things the letter from the poa was that they talked about how by doing this day of remembrance and offering our condolences we are disrespecting the memory of officers that have fallen in the line of duty i know that supervisor farrell will be dealing with that we as san franciscans dont have a choice to make between our people you can honor what happened with mario woods and still honor the officers that have given their lives to the city clapping. those two issues are not mooucht exclusive i think that is sad that instead of recognizing we have a problem the union that represents the Police Officers is trying to pit one family against another clapping. and we in San Francisco are better than that were not going to let it happen thank you very much clapping. thank you supervisor campos for your leadership on this issue clearly the coalition for justice for mario woods i know is here with tfa les lecture jones and Mohammed Nuru thank you thank y thank you referred refer rentcontrolled unit mohammed and also brothers against sons for your advocacy in the community and reverend from the naacp we talked about a lot of challenges in our community and two weeks ago i introduced not only a resolution for the department of justice to do an extinct e independent in the shooting death of moodys but introduced a request to for our reward fund for 200 and 50,000 leading for the arresting and conviction for those who plague our streets with guns and prey on our kids that resolution came b. A. About because of people in the audience today clapping. mothers like sal la and molly and other folks sadly have lost their children lives way before their time i see many of the folks in the audience people i grew up with weve seen too much losses in our community and finally, finally through this board have an opportunity to work to make our streets safer for the next generation yes, this is a victory but we have theres more work to do theres more work to do i want to thank every single one of you for your advocacy and consistency thank you all for continuing to support ms. Woods during this time i rem remember some of the mothers saying you never want to be part of this club never want to be part of this club that mourn the death of their children i dont want to see that happen this is why were introducing the resolution and thats why we wont be intimidated by the poa or anyone else clapping. and it is why when we stand together were stronger for it thank you all so much for being here with that, i see that supervisor yee is on the roster supervisor yee. Just want to say quickly that have not had an opportunity to ask the coauthor i want to be the coauthor thank you, thank you supervisor yee clapping. supervisor kim. Thank you. I did already speak last week and to ms. Woods as well want to add some comments given some of the intimidation tactics i want to reiterate that just as the members of the board as supervisors i honor the men and women that put their lives at risk everyday to keep our lives safer and this day of remedy bransz for mario woods didnt in any way diminish what our Police Officers do we live in a sovereignty weve seen it government funded homicides largely of young memory of color seen the status are unfortunate necessity of keeping our neighborhoods safer i know ms. That is not the way we are making the commitment in the day of remembrance hold ourselves accountable to what makes a safer and Police Reform has happened but we should say Police Reform is it not an attack on the San Francisco Police Department we fund this organization we fund the Training Programs that hold our officers to shot individual like mario woods this that sob with his mother if those are the tools we give the officers we need to change that clapping. this has to happen at the exclusive level if leadership in the Mayors Office and at the board of supervisors as well and we need our citizens to hold us accountable were imitated by organizations like the poa and he just want to say one other thing i dont believe the poa is representative of their members i cant tell you the number of officers saying the poa didnt represent them they dont share their prospective when they said race has nothing to do with with ferguson or battling they acknowledged to the not the trust with the Larger Community and the city so i stand in solidarity with you ms.

Okay supervisor campos. Thank you madam president it is my understanding that supervisor yee is will be making a motion to continue but i think that the point here is that to give additional time so we have the parties come together to see if there is a way to find a resolution and perhaps agree mediations supervisor campos has asked to continue to february 9th seconded by supervisor peskin and supervisor wiener thank you, thank you very much madam president well, i appreciate the motion the entire for more time ill not be supporting to continue today, i think were ready to hear the ceqa appeal today it is hard to imagine an issue that is more fully vetted than this one and no more information we need ill say this issue the commuter pilot Shutter Program has studied im a strong supporter of counterpart shuttle while the ceqa well hear during the hearing ill say ive reviewed the briefs and not seeing a ceqa issue ill listen to the argument and see if i come to a different conclusion but theres a lot there ill say about the commuter Shuttle Program abusive it expires on sunday so as of 12 on one on monday morning if in the resolved today, there will not that a commuter Shuttle Program the mta will not are Regulatory Power the point of having a Pilot Program and then presuming the permitted program to address the wild west that is happening on our streets for a number of requesters years with the shuttles the shuttle to come together and come up with regulations about where they can go and reputes and type of fees and what stops at the can and cannot do use as of telephone on one monday morning that will expire the mta will no longer have Regulatory Power to do that theyll no longer be in the parking control officers dedicated under the program the feeds wont be paid and i just dont think that is the right way to go i also just want to say i think a lot of time the arguments about the Shuttle Program dont really acknowledge some of the realty about this program we know from the study that the mta did as part of Pilot Program approximately 8 thousand San Francisco residents 8 thousands of our neighbors rely on the shuttles to get to work clapping. and he speak as a supervisor who represents a district that likely has the highest number of residents that ride those shuttles and the neighborhood that are impacted by the shuttles in terms of the route the shuttles use i am deeply involved in this issue for 0 a long time we know that these shuttle take cars off the road they take carbon out of reduce the amount of carbon into the sphere we know not based on this study we know based on previous surveys done of the shuttle riders it from the shuttles disappear tomorrow overwhelmingly those rider will continue to live in San Francisco and so the whole notions that the are shuttle are bringing people to the city is actually not borne out by the data and so i think that we need to keep in mind that as we move forward we received a letter from caltrain their over capacity and going to be a long time before caltrain has the capability to absorb all the rider we want them to the idea people are going to that the shuttle dont operate theyll take 3 buses to get to caltrain and maybe squeeze into a caltrain and their this will get both their car and drive there or find a job in the city and live here so i think that is really important to keep it in mind and understand we have a major housing crisis to address and address it by actually fixing our housing policy and having enough Affordable Housing rather than scapegoating peoples ability to get to work so we have all the information we need we dont need more information im prepared to hear this appeal today and i will be voting against the motion to continue. Thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor yee thank you supervisor president london breed i apologize for being out of the room whether this was a motion i was pulled out by a reporter but im going to make a statement to reimburse the motion there it is important for the shuttle for the residents today, i heard transportation Pedestrian Safety are tape priorities in my office many should the pilot be a Permanent Program an increase in the number of shuttle thus increasing emissions for collisions and although the ceqa appeal is in scope i cant in good conscious vote in support of program today as a city we have to do not done enough i want the opportunity to work with the Shuttle Companies to find Common Sense Solutions to make sure that the Environmental Impact will not be compromised with the program we need to make sure that the benefits extend beyond the employees and residents many corporates rely on this program and ought to have an opportunity to work with us and everyone to come up with a solution not only to benefit their own employees but socially responsible and corporate citizens make sure they benefit from the significant Transportation System as a city we must be responsive to what we have been hearing from the public come it an argument agreement with additional compacts and for those reasons madam president i will support the motion to continue this item for two weeks to be heard at the board of supervisors on february 9th i know that mta has raised concerns about the ending of the pilot but i encourage them to extend the pilot 90 pilot in order for the board of supervisors to have a Stronger Program that works for all san franciscans and its residents thank you very much. Thank you supervisor yee supervisor tang thank you. I felt compelled to say a few words i feel like we have all the information we need to vote im alarmed by this discourse around those vehicles are taking more cars off the road lets remember that clapping. so today before us is an appeal and it is regarding the Environmental Review those vehicles are carrying hundreds and hundreds probably thousands of passersby not in their individual cards so again, i feel we have all the information today. Thank you supervisor campos thank you. I just want to make a couple of points i didnt make in terms of the continuance what i think a continuance does first and foremost it allows this pilot to continue and the mta can take steps to make sure that happens none of us here believes that those shuttles should go away and no one is against the shuttle continuing to play the roll for San Francisco the continuance allows more time to do something that is consistent with what i think that clear out there in the public which is the public want to support this program but also wants to be properly regulated i that that that is an opportunity in the next two weeks to address the additional concerns and et seq. Piece the public want those companies to pay their fair share and something that can be considered and discuses as part of continuance the point here is that contrary to the parade of horror hoshlz the members of the public wants this program to remain a part of San Francisco but to do so in a way that allows proper regulation consideration of concerned that neighborhood have that is, i think what the public wants and precisely what well do today. Supervisor peskin thank you. I rise in support of the continuance obviously there is a ceqa mattered before us i will not prejudge that albeit not a judicial matter but want to say i absolutely support opening up a negotiation when i was on that side of dial the way the Program Roles out initial was quit disturbing yes, it should be regulated and, yes treat them in the same way but at the beginning of the stop it was American People insult to muni rider and neighborhood were starting to get that under control it is in the permit program i note this program has not honored the men and women in labor particularly in teamsters that is in the program and quite frankly if the pilot and any temporary program but i think giving a space for two weeks is used this to negotiate something that can make the Program Better is absolutely the right way to go. Thank you supervisor peskin supervisor kim. I want to reiterate what supervisor campos and supervisor peskin said we reached an agreement with the stakeholder that are centered in seeing Interest Program continue and an additional two weeks helps us to come back with an Better Program and tom maguire is here is working curiously to get something we can put a temporary program in place we work to create a Better Program that regulates those commuter shuttle buses so i dont want to put tom maguire on the spot i know that sfmta has a Board Meeting on the second and make sure there is something in place while we continue the sdpugsz on the commuter bus program. Mr. Maguire i want to answer that. Thank you, supervisors and take the opportunity to talk about that as supervisor kim said she has asked us we are looking at options to continue the program in some way but i want to distinguish between the Pilot Program expires on february 1st and sometimes called the Permanent Program we are relying with the Permanent Program relying on the ceqa before you today and were still looking at the issue to where we will have the ability to create a temporary program in the absence of the ceqa determination the Pilot Program will continue until february 1st and rely on the positive working relationship with many of the shuttle providers to see if we can during some period some sort of continuous period to have 19 it continued to on the streets but not something im able to promise in the confuse our relationships. Thank you, supervisor kim anything else. No. Supervisor mar. Ill say that ive appreciated the mta working on a strengthening of the Pilot Program i know that a lot of work from others have gone into that i worry about as we continue this and we wont have regulation over a period of time that real worries me but other colleagues state i want to Stronger Program from cleaner vehicles to mitigating the gentrifying ill call the horrible social impacts of too many shuttles taking up public space and those impacts in the neighborhood i hope in the two weeks we come up with those strengthening the programs so we as a body can support the mtas effort i know there is a lot of preexception issues and what we can do locally but, do better i appreciate the work of the staff not only from the mta my hope also as looking at the california vehicle code we doing everything we can to protect the neighborhood from being overrun by those commuter shuttles within the Pilot Program but the existing charge yots from uber to lyft that are flooding the streets in San Francisco two week continuance ill be supportive of but my hope we u we put our Heads Together but my appreciation to the staff thank you for all you do and to 10 to think one and the environmental and other groups thank you very much for staying on top of and having San Francisco Police Commission San Francisco to have the stroke it policy. Thank you, supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president it is important to acknowledge what is going on here the when supervisor kim refers to the stakeholder agreeing there should be a continuous not an agreement that everyone wanted an agreement that was age acknowledge of the majority of board of supervisors including the supervisors that have spoken in favor are opposed to the Shuttle Program were not prepared to effectively overturn the permit shurment program today, i think not that people are dying to have a continuance other than the appellants in this case really think we should be continuing this i think that people feel theyre in position to not have a choice other than the categorical exemption will be overturned and no program whatsoever and the program will go urban widen im concerned over the next two weeks under the guise of dialogue there will be a limit to it so significantly it is difficult for the instrumental to operate to make that harder hear harder for workers to get to their homes and people will be hard to get there and end up driving thats my concern what could happen over the next two weeks it is important to be transparent who is going on not about odds and end and sueing things up but the board of supervisors opposed to the Shuttle Program and supporting alternates that make it hard for people to use the shuttle i neglected to mention in addition to the importance of the shuttles for San Francisco residents i want to enlightenment the mta for its work to deal with the neighborhood impacts of those shuttles and again in my district particularly in noah valley and glen park and the castro a lot of shuttles going through and the 34569 has working hard that is a part of this program to try to get the shuttles off of the appropriate streets and keep them off the side streets duncan or three 6 street were experiencing 20 or thirty shuttles awning hour and have more of a diversion this plan has a good solid regulations and a harmony piece this board to urge for harmony and commend the mta for listening to this board and incorporating the ham i didnt corporation into the program so this program does so much of exactly what weve asked did mta good regulation, higher fees, making it usable not just for the rider but making it comfortable in our neighborhood this is no reason to delay other than an effort by some members of the board to make the shutters much less also he an issue. Thank you, supervisor wiener clapping. open up for Public Comment on the continuance only if you like to make comments about the continuance please come forward seeing none, Public Comment is closed.

Im cochair the noah committee i support the continuance we have double decker i buses coming down the street we need to look at deeply into regulating this and thats why i feel a continuance and continuance and end in the shuttle theyre not mooucht sensitive.

Hi, im north america than against the continuance i attended some of the public hearings i was impressed with the amount of data and research that went into this program im surprised to hear it is brought up you dont think you have enough information and need more time this is a thank you thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Edward and i think we need to have the turns the reason is there is a lack of enforcement for the last month in december sf reporter paraded without a license and finally after the second week in january they have lipdz and decals and youtube will only have 12r7 riders on the bus so i think there should be consolidation of the individual companies consolidating their people on this it is scare tactics everything will that fall apart it fell apart when the busses were allowed and not ticketed you need the route is set so come monday things will not fall apart that is a given and you have boring operating on 3 ton restricted streets for 4 months i cant get them off that street 4 months there are restrictive streets 26 and 25, chavez in noah valley and those buses continue to operate with immunity none goes and tickets them this is what i want to see enforcement.

Next speaker, please. Hello, im james a bus rider im against the continuance not only be able to get to work next week mainly to moved on this issue this is an divisive issue this is a great opportunity for collaboration and cooperation it is hurtful for everyone in the city to talk about those issues that are dividing us with so much work to be done and so many people making sure it is going to be a plays whether they ride a shuttle or not the sooner we get past the issue of that instrumental if we bypass the continuance how to acholic beverage and stop focusing on the issues it is heartbreaking thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you. Next speaker. Madam president donald retained of San Francisco we live in a progressive city and we deserve to have progress today not tomorrow not next week or next month we have issues that are ready to be discussed if those supervisors when be asking for a continuance are serious theyll be adding an amendment to the legislation today not next month against the continuance please.

Im by those betty here to speak in support of continuance there is been insufficient Environmental Impact report and it is hard to know you want to look at the full brake of what is going on with the instrumental not only that youre taking cars off the street people are not driving to work people are driving from modesto and missing their times with their family and hunk to know your commuting three or four hours a day from a place youve been displaced from i highly recommend that you look at the facts that the busses are all loan how is that as a large impact for the two or three years and the cars that go down to this peninsula or other companies within the east bay are not that much of on impact compared to the displacement and people traveling so far to come here for their minimum wage jobs i ask you to consider that and will postpone this and take a longer look it for the future thank you.

Thank you. Next speaker. Supervisors this city as an audience called the precautionary principle ill direct to go to the people that are here we need a continuance for the Planning Department to really going to the precautionary principle a number of things have been said today about 10 things percentage make a check list like particular tracks and enforcement and so on and so forth and so you need to advise the supervisors that when we try to favor people that push we have to Pay Attention to the precautionary principle and to audience thats the law thank you very much. Thank you. Is there any additional Public Comment to the continuance seeing none, Public Comment is closed and madam clerk there was a motion to continue this item for two weeks to the meeting of february 9th. February 9, 2016, that was seconded so at this time colleagues, we will supervisor farrell. Thank you madam president i believe there is the vote to continue this item i want to respect my colleagues have been working to resolve this issue i want to go strongly on record as a supporter for all the obvious reasons that have been mentions by the colleagues and members of the public in taking cars off the road i have so many people in the district that allows them to work but allows them to live in the city without cars from any prospective it is exactly what we should be encouraging i know there is logical issues we work with buses i do living near peoples homes and not an easy situation our roads are overcrowded with that said, i think the right thing to do im a huge supporter i will be when it comes down voting to support the program and as the time comes keep my mind open on the second matters but right for San Francisco i think this is something weve vetted for a long time and my office has been in constant contract with the Pilot Program over the past 18 months today ill add a difference for the appropriate ill not be in support of doing it past two weeks and this gentleman mentioned bringing our city together. Thank you supervisor farrell and supervisor wiener. A clarifying question to mr. Maguire when this Program Expires on sunday night so mr. Ma inquiring what happens there will there is enforcement and fees collected we see for a continuance today maybe it will be only two weeks with who knows if this will gone longer than that given how long we are hearing not enough information that is surprising it is unclear if this will be resolved in less than two weeks what happened on sunday night. Thank you, supervisor first of all, we not been able to collect fees after february 1st in the terms of the permitted program that the mta created will netted ghetto the mta one hundred thousand dollars per week well not been able to collect those fees starting on february 1st and secondly, the parking control officers the 10 pcos were dedicated to reinforcing the rules theyll not been able to enforce those rules itself violations are against the permit the permit wont exist after february 1st those pcos will not be able to write those violations. So in terms of you know the Pilot Program and the permitted Program Fines the parking control officers to then to enforce them under the ticket if they violate the terms of permit theyll no longer be able to do that. Thats correct. And the program is projected to generated one thousand dollars a week for the mta. Thats right your cost is 5 million per year that worked workout in part funds the parking control officers that do the enforcement. Thats the sole source of revenue. Great those parking control officers are members of the 10 to one little appellant here; right . Thats correct. Thank you. Mr. Maguire a clarifying question because the mta is povshl looking at a temporary program the temporary program has to be retroactive until february 1st isnt that correct. I dont know. You could not do a program you retroactive a program until february 1st i mean for example, you have brought to us leasing leases asking for retroactive to bring the approvals of applications and other things asking for a retroactive start date even though a program starred and even though a lease started even though youve move forward and so i i guess im trying to understand this is a same concept if this is probable when we are talking about specifically about the possibility of a temporary program is doing retroactiving making it retroactive to the start of month even though it is being passed over after the most is started i guess is that possible to do. The services that you are the fees we collect in the pilot residents from the programs are pagan for well not be able to provide those services so we couldnt fund the pcos and great white zones well do those operational things that we the mta bears to the providers pay for. Well only be able to move the Program Forward if it is approved by the mta board to start on a specific date after the board approved it not a retroactive date. Thats mined. Do you know that for certain i want to get clarity this is really why were needing the continuance so we can get clarity what we can and cannot do as it relates to this particular program. Ill ask the City Attorney. John gibner, deputy City Attorney legally if the mta adopts it on february 2nd assuming there were merits i know is an issue the mta would discuss with planning the program could be retroactive i think perhaps there will be practical problems on february 1st when no program in place will the shuttle buses be shopping stopping in the zoned and what will the pcos do when the buses stop on february 1st before the retroactive pilot extension goes into place maybe some problems impractical speaking about enforcement but the program could be adopted retroactively. Another question were there any new traffic controversial officers hired as a result of this program. We expanded the parking control officers when we created the Pilot Program. So you hired 10 new Traffic Control officers. Thats correct. Once this program xiefrdz theyre no longer working for the department or rerouted. In the 140r789 we willy assign them to other duties but a lot of and i transition and not back them when they left their positions. Okay supervisor kim. Thank you. I do appreciate supervisor breed question im to say i rewatched the hearings in 2014 and sfmta clearly stated several times they will not be hiring any additional parking control officers because it was a temporary program i asked multiple questions we assumed only spent roughly under 500,000 a year the response was well, because of temporary program were not going to hire any new parking control officers what we are going to do reallocate the pcos and put them out into the Pilot Program and thats why the number is so although it was one of my questions because you know we were limited by Cost Recovery in terms of fees but i really questioned how the fees we are tabulated it is continually low and so few parking control officers adding 200 stops potentially in the Pilot Program a and b you know point ive made that they you know, i see these officers sometimes 7 of them on market and van ness ticketing people that are not paying the 2 to get on muni yet we cant enforce this before the Pilot Program im confused because i was told explicitly that we were not hiring pcos for the Pilot Program now im hearing we did. Yes mr. Maguire id like to ask the head of enforcement for mta to join me. Supervisors camtc and sammy we hired 10 pcos to assist with the private but primarily because we were roughly 20 to 25 pcos. We didnt hire 10 pcos specifically for this pilot were not going to layoff people if this is not continuing we need to fill those we directed them to work on the program; is that correct . Yes. Just to follow up on the retroactive activity it is really frustrating not to make the Program Effective as supervisor breed actually powder we get countless contract that are done for months i assume were asked to approve those theyve been in force for months; is that correct. The thing just to be clear we will not be able to issue a permit it will not be a valid permit starting february 1st. Yet retroactive contracts that do have approval how are those contracts in place. Im talking about the credential that the vehicle has that allows it to stop on the street so you know on february 2nd a shuttle that is whose permit exteriors on february 1st no way for us a permit is a contract you pay. Give consideration to the city, you agree to participate in the program under rules and in return the city gives us a permit similar to a contract. Right. How is it that the city engages in all the contracts brings them to the board months after theyve gone without approval and cant have a temporary program retroactive for a day. I believe the rules youre describing i believe are subject to the second determination today so i dont know that im not sure i understand your square the rules that governs the bus. Thats not my question the question that supervisor president london breed asked can we not put forward a temporary program im getting a headache hearing we could do this yesterday but not today, if sfmta but second that how we retroactive there is an approval yet but for some reason the contract is going then we approve that retroactively and say that was february 1st when in fact, it was february 2nd. We talked about extending the piloted. Now i realize not everyone was part of discussion yesterday you were clear that was challenging to extend the pilot given the classic to the study that was also you know articulated by sarah jones to our Office Yesterday not to speak for her so the conversation yesterday was that we issue a class a theyre the one that is before us for a temporary program on february 2nd the temporary program will be in place while we work on developing a stronger and more robust counterpart bus program that will be sponsored and given consideration whether to have a Environmental Review that was my understanding of the discussion yesterday. So sarah do you want to sarah jones environmental officer through the president we have a lot of exemptions underlying around and temporary pilots, etc. That were discussing if the question on the table is extension of the Pilot Program for two weeks until the class 8 exemption is heard for that the way we handle extension of the Pilot Program under second is that would be a minor modification of the program we exempted under that exemption just a couple of weeks i have concerns about a long Term Extension of the pilot under that conversation the permitted program is more prevent of the pilot so but for a short extension of the Pilot Program well handle through essentially ice the same exemption and appealed a year and a half going ago in terms of consideration of any changes to the permitted program that the mta board has approved that is something that until the board acts on the appeal before them nothing can be done on the exemption weve issued. We cant give a different class a exemption so we have to finally decided on the class a exemption for the program. We could issue a new exemption. That was my understanding. That is newly appealable. My understanding we have two onramps moving forward one is that we extend the classic exemption for a couple of weeks or we issue a new class a exemption for a temporary program while we work on finalizing we have two pathways and not what people refer to and continue while we issue a Better Program. Thank you, supervisor kim supervisor peskin thank you madam president that is referred to in the documents from the appellant and also the subject of litigation and by way of colleagues and members of the public on whatever side of issue if we do our jobs right not only dispense with the ceqa but actually settle the litigation and avoid future litigations the one thing were talking about fines is that the cool vehicle code is 3w5u7b8 clear in section 22500 that size that private vehicles cant stop in private bus stops thats been true the subject of this litigation i dont know how the judge will rule i read the black and white letters that preempts the local law with respect the mta generates one hundred thousand dollars a week you can take private vehicles and parking in muni stops about one hospitals the mta is extend and maybe throat chair and supervisor wiener we can dispense with the litigation have some remarkably oversight by the board of supervisors and put this issue behind us i for one not thinking the dark having had arubas will be put back many, many people whether theyre your constituents in noah valley or my constituents on in small streets and in north beach who would like to get them off the islanders i dont understand i was not here where harmony is not part of program through the president suggest if we are doing a one or two week or temporary program which ms. Jones said we can do with the ceqa document you incorporate that that will make that happen. Thank you supervisor peskin supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president first of all, i want to agree with supervisor peskin about the neighborhood needs here and we have i know ive spent on numerous amount of time in this office in working with our neighbors in noah valley and other neighborhoods to try to not have an over concentration and getting the busses off appropriate streets this program really makes good efforts to do that it is not perfect and when we try to reroute a muni bus polling people get upset about that this is you know buses are big and people dont like them on their streets but mta has a job to make the best of the situation for people to get to work but trying to respect their neighborhood i want to again in the spirit of having full transparent what the board is about and supervisor peskin through the chair if we can have a resolution resolves the permit program and resolves the litigation and keeps the Shuttle Program strong so our constituents can use them thats a great thing ill say supervisor kim says we need to work towards a quote moral stronger and more robust quote unquote program it strikes me a little bit like opposite die because what ive been hearing in terms of the demands if there are accepted makes the shuttles anything but more robust we reduce the stops significantly ive heard about moving away from muni stops when on a bus that comes by every 10 or 15 minutes and underutilized and moving towards hundred and hundreds and hundreds of parking space to create shuttle only i dont think that will go over well but reducing the number of stops and moving away from muni stops and doing a housing study it is designed to escape goat the busses and residents of San Francisco who ride them for all the housing practicing problems that has no basis so this is the continuance day is not an eye towards making the program quote unquote robust towards making it harder for people to lie down them with the people moving out of the city theyll not do that theyll stay in their cars. Supervisor campos. Listen i know San Francisco people would like to simply have the appeal rejected so it this item to be vote on there is a majority of us that believe there is still work to be done and my suggestion to instead of exaggerating what happens the sky will not fall lets vote it is actually kind of the lap rule the mta can say we cant do anything retroactively we do this all the time how many have we voted on call the question and lets vote yes or no on the continuance i know there are other issues to deal with.

All right. Submit so supervisor kim just submitted okay. Thank you supervisor mar supervisor cowen. Thank you very much thank you. Okay everyone so colleagues, i wanted to bring something to you im existed weve been working on in for a time im introducing a ballot for 2016 booklet that measure is easy and clean and straightforward it requires the office of citizens complaints will perform an impartial investigation anytime on over discharges his or her weapon that means whatever we injury someone or kill someone this investigation will occur if the results are in death or injury and critical that i point out that you note that it is also will trigger an investigation whether the officer michaelly disregard his weapon or did it on purpoor did clapping. currently theyre only performed with an individual submit a written request to the office of citizens complaints or when the incident involves death this unfortunately leads to an investigation rate of somewhere from 40 to 50 percent in no one is asking for occ to investigate investigations are happening and most people are unaware of this process 0 were slating the conversation and making it legal that whenever an officer discharges their weapon an investigation will automatically happen clapping. the reason why lets talk about the spirit were living in really challenging times youre hearing testimony and seen the protests across the country not just in the city people are worried about the fairness and the district of that not only local governments but a department of doing on external investigation headed elites make investigations fair and impartial and make of unbias to move this conversation forward and move to a Justice System i was speaking about earlier something you should know 76 percent of africanamerican and 40 percent caucasian across the United States have this to no confidence in the police governing investigations according to a Research Poll and important to know there are examples not only internationally by the way, also locally of systems in place to set up to have a bias investigation and i think a bias investigation will enhance the public trust. clapping. and not only didnt it enhance the public trust but brings back legitimate sill to local government clapping. the other thing important to note it is actually a measure im bringing to the voters for the june 7th we actually as a board of supervisors have the authority to do that the reason im bringing up to voter Everyone Needs to know what is going on this is not an incident that happen on the southeast or in the fillmore bullets ring out their they can maim anyone it is critical we as a city stand together to begin to right some of the wrongs thats why ill bring to the voters i look forward to your sport and want to recognize George Gascon and judge who is equally instrumental in modeling not only the legislation in terms of unbiased investigation to bring those to San Francisco and you know you guys read the news this morning mississippi is on board with our requests for independent investigations thats a victory congratulations clapping. and also critical partner is joyce hicks the direction of the office of citizens complaints now he spent to see every single in those seats when it comes to budget time we need the investors and resources to continue to elevate and investigate those shootings shes critical in that plan so you know supervisor president london breed is great been meeting with the Community Members clapping. she been my prayer partner my prayer partner we continue to gastroglossing the growing pains and also want to recognize the men and women that work working hard for the San Francisco Police Department we know that not all blacks or murderers and killers and not outline Police Officers that are good people in the entire community and uplift those that are doing the do the right thing and serving and protecting our city clapping. so you think supervisor campos made this point in his remarks we cant let the reputations of a few bad people affiliate for all of us and ruin it for all of us create a culture within our Law Enforcement community to weed out the bad ones you know that no stick policy on the streets that also exists inside our Law Enforcement agencies and we need to create environment people come out and point out those who are doing 0 wrong i want to thank the community specifically that were courageously pushing and joyce hicks has given us a list of reforms to bring to the Police Commission and give them that level of support and some days force to make the changes that need to happen immediately clapping. and one last thing in the spirits of being a warrior i want to recognize dr. Espanola jackson clapping. so colleagues many of you have already, that dr.

Thank you supervisor yee supervisor avalos thank you, madam clerk well indicated cosponsors the millennium for dr. Espanola jackson i wanted to put in a couple of words for dr. Jackson i love being called a baby by her it was good to be called baby to be considered it as in a good grace i look at dr. Espanola jackson as the godmother of local hiring to be one of the tools we have that deals with the out migration of africanamericans to stable people and have Job Opportunities to make sure were economically stable she was a big part the night before the first vote on the local hire december of 2010 we were another Grace Tabernacle church with the members of the community we talked about making history that day i want to thank her for making history in many, many ways in San Francisco and shell be trooem missed by people that are doing work because of her efforts clapping. i also have a couple of other items for submission one a hearing on the judge released budget analysts called best practices related to Police Staffing and funding levels that that was a report i asked for last year im calling for and hearing on the report and well looking to actually do that next week in june of last year colleagues you might recall the board passed a policy that Police Staffing levels should be adjusted based on population growth unfortunately, that vote came shortly arrest the Police Department racism text message scandal that shocked the city that day the board of Supervisors Chamber was filled with protesters we based on the population on there are many Community Members upset to see the board hiring for please not addressing their concerns of the training and culture of the department clapping. i offered amendment to say that policy Staffing Levels should be Police Levels should be through a disciplinary process and not on population i argued there were many other factors that should be considered Crime Statistics and police load and plaza practices we need to balance the pagers and similar soundproducing Electronic Devices are prohibited at this meeting. Police staffing with other Vital Services that helps to prevent crime education and other social Services Housing as well unfortunately my amendments were voted by 6 to 5 for the resolution was sent to committee today, the budget analyst released that best practices for the staffing level they conclude that a minimum staffing level based on population is not considered a rigorous and ann lively goal that counts for the departments conditions i plan to hold this to set the staff through a disciplinary process for stakeholders and last years budget we unanimously approved Police Hiring but not smart about department of Emergency Services how 9 police have Staffing Levels i hope that is a first step to a nuance and rigorous approach to elevating the Police Staffing and colleagues directing your attention to item 51 on todays agenda it is resolution slightly modest resolution we had before us last january, december a resolution that didnt pass this resolution was looking at the killers of eric garden and mike brown in ferguson and looking at the issues of policing in San Francisco that led to the killings of alex at this time we were reilly especially clapping. in the Latino Community we didnt feel that there was a strong sense of investigation nor a sense of justice and the killing of alex and today, im bringing this forward again, this resolution calls on further investigations for the federal government to look at the killing of alex and other killings that happened like the killing clapping. the use of lopez this year. clapping. and the ois of mario woods in each of those cases disputes within the public what truly happened and people didnt feel there which is a thorough and balanced investigation from the Police Department and so it make sense as were calling for the federal investigation of moodys that the other controversial recent officer involved shooting killings occurred in the couple of years occur in that investigation before us today so we can vote on the rest i submit thank you. Supervisor avalos supervisor breed thank you. I know were anxious to get to our resolution on adoption without Committee Reference ill be as brief as possible i wanted to acknowledge the courage of any colleagues today especially the leadership of supervisor cowen and her ballot measures and supervisor david campos and supervisor avalos thank you for your leadership on those, too clapping. and just quickly dr. Espanola jackson i wanted to i was listening to the song today it happened to come on the radio im sorry ms. Jackson i was thinking about her because when i served on the Redevelopment Agency commission that was a song that i used to play around with her because she would always come in and fight for the community and be serious and relentless but get her to smile when you sing that song or other things relative to the community a person with a heart of gold and cared about the community and put her life on the line unapologize lee he discovered a couple of years ago when i saw her with her daughter and granddaughter i used to hang out with a couple of people on the house open kirkwood and her grandson sadly who is no longer with us many of the family members he knew for so many years and spent countless hours and didnt know she was their mother and grandmother it was an amazing delivery and weve made that clear not only a great woman but a deep love for the bayview Hunters Point and so she definitely will be missed i know that clapping. her family will be having both a public and a privatepublic and services for the community that service will be held on thursday, february 4th at grace tab analytical church other than oak dial in 7 30 to 7 30 and flowers to the funeral home at 3434, 17th street and cards of condolences september to 321 engel street shell be miss the other in memoriam on behalf of supervisors supervisor yee and supervisor cowen and supervisor peskin the gentleman passed away on january 16th exclamation of cancer born in 1933 he grew up in new york and moved to San Francisco in 1959 he opened his Clothing Store in 1966 Near Union Square and since changed fashion and style forever with his imperceptibly taste for merging trend introduced designer brand to the city before anyone else brands that are household like georgia 0 auermann i think i only won one of the labs he was more than a fashion iconic a philanthropist served as the memorial broourts that ores the memorial a professionalism arts and cochaired this for a memorial a Veterans Memorial looked at across the street from city hall to which we was able to raise over 2. 5 million of private funds mr. Bash treated his employees with the right and a loyal and kind friend his brother bruise is his only immediate survivor and San Francisco lost a friend and fashion icon and will be greatly missed the rest i submit. Supervisor campos. Thank you madam president i think just recycle it was appropriate to ask that we adjourn in memory of dr. Espanola jackson as a whole board ill ask the same thing for the gentleman make sense. Colleagues well take that without objection. To you supervisor campos. Thank you want to note a couple of points first there is a request that im submitting asking did budget analyst to do a followup report on shortterm rentals requests that arose at the last hearing how many units of how are you are being used as shortterm rentals so amongst the questions were asking the budget analyst and legislative analyst how many units are used in the industry how much the city has collected in taxes with respect to shortterm rentals and out of the thousands of units rentcontrolled unit who is that is pga taxing to the 71 and lastly how the city is enforcing the hosted and nonholstered shortterm rentals the second item that is something that is still to be honest i think we collectively have it probable been aware of as much the issue we have a shortage of teachers in San Francisco united we have a shortage of substitute teachers ive leader recently from a number of parents at one of the schools that many kids and many classrooms because the school board is having a tough time understanding teachers classrooms are consolidate that impacts the quality of education that the children have we did research and found the district it finding issues with substitutes in one out of 10 classrooms in San Francisco Unified School District it is happening because of the housing crisis because the School District not only is unable to hire teachers who candles afford to live in San Francisco but that inability for teachers to live in San Francisco is making it so that we dont have give you enough substitutes to fill the classrooms ill calling for a hearing that asks the question when what we can do to help the School District address those issues we cant talk about how to raise families if were not making it so the teachers can live in the city and county of San Francisco today clapping. i have a couple of items that i want to talk about and i want to thank supervisor cowen for her Charter Amendment i want to be added a cosponsor and supervisor peskin has the distinction of serving as a supervisor longer than me i happen to be the Senior Member of the current board of supervisors as that one of the things i think that is important to think about what this system that we have in place are adequate enough to really address the challenges of the city i think the question of the eject is an example of that here you have an agency that does have the authority on its own to begin the investigations including an officer involved shooting it makes sense for us to revisit that system and see what changes to be made but i actually building clapping that that is the tip of the iceberg that whether it is Police Reform or other issues we have to go beyond and one of the things ill ask we as the board to revisit is the structure of the question of time between the mayor and the board of supervisors the way it works right now is we submit written questions to mayor ed lee who comes here and provides a response that is also written but under those no opportunity to actually have a followup discussion on whether or not the question or the answers that were priority actually got to the bottom of how to deal with the issue at heart when that is the case i think we have an obligation to revisit this i believe that we need to figure out how we actually provide the public with a more mooeveng discussion continue this board and our mayor so i will be exploring as in the past amendments to question time in the mayors so have an opportunity to have a followup question that will happen if supervisor peskin had had the opportunity to do that and since were talking about dr. Espanola jackson ill simple make this statement one of the things i love and replaced about dr. Espanola jackson was that doctor im sorry shes doctor dr. Jackson was not afraid to call it as she saw it and to stand for what they believed and one thing ill say as an elected officials most importantly as a citizen the city ive been very disturbed by some of the allegations that came out in the last few days around possible corruption in this building and i know that people have strong views as an elected official im tell you that makes my blood boil when people do some of the things that these folks are being skewed it it makes us look bad address diminishes City Government and one things in the tshirt of dreamforce to commit the resources to make sure that we have a transparent and cleanair act local government and we possible can to that end the Ethics Commission has been asked by the Mayors Office to cut its budget i want to pubically go on record the supervisor i will not support a budget that cuts funding for the Ethics Commission i think that given the questions that have been raised by the District Attorney and the City Attorney this is the time to increase the funding for that the Ethics Commission not cut it liv calling names clapping. leann has made that clear foot recommending cutting that budget go in fact, recommending and then increase of budget i think this board of supervisors should wholeheartedly support thank you the rest i submit. Thank you supervisor campos. clapping. supervisor farrell. Thank you mr. Clerk colleagues a number of items first go resolution and one in memoriam the first resolution is around organized lash in San Francisco unfortunately, if you saw the organized labor is under attack policymakers have pushing anti Union Legislation and take away the benefits of labor theyve figure out and won over the years the u. S. Supreme court in the Teachers Associations that threatens to undermine over 40 years of precedence those particular caused is about steel important for the ramification from the court rules in favor of the lady she is not a member but the Health Weight bank rolling she should have to pay fees to the union even though she receives benefits from the union the center for individual rights right by the coke brothers are infamous and has a history making efforts to overturn the human rights and the affirmative action laws this a case of an attack and it is clear as day ultra converters cant win in the court of Public Opinion so for 40 years the u. S.

Apologized item 41 to reaffirm the board of supervisors senate to Racial Justice in your practices and urging the San Francisco Police Department to look at the use of force and exploring declaration to the use of force. Last year the issues or the incident that rose to the top were the Mike Brown Killing if ferguson and eric garden if Staten Island in new york city but incidents that happen here for San Francisco and need to improve the conditions of people of color and the relationship with the Police Department and a lot of reform fetters efforts to need to be enforces new ways of doing business within the San Francisco Police Department that will enable trust between our communities and the Police Department i clapping. this measure had references a dubious officer involved shooting killing of alex last year happened last mark of 2014 i want to acknowledge that alex patterns are hertterns are her e clapping. calling names. clapping. in a similar way that quentin woods was not the first person to hear about here sons killing or hurt in a bizarre way they were told with the investigators came to their house they were first questions before anything was told the killing of alex has very many has testimony that is disputing one another eyewitnesses that saw things differently than what was recorded and the original person that called 911 disputes what the Police Department indicates happened that alex pointed a tasers at the police again, this measure also calls upon the federal investigation of this case this is to make sure we get some sense of the truth extinct of the Police Department just like were doing with mario woods we also have in the measure call for an extinct investigation by the federal government of the lopez perez killing that happened in march of 2015 one year after the killing of mario this is caused grief within the Mission District and bernal height communities and really wasnt night e until the recent killing of mario woods we were able to talk about this as someone that needs to be investigated so it make sense that we have consistent what we are calling for in the federal investigation and closings colleagues ill urge your vote to vote on this measure so some sense of the from truth from the federal government rather than the Police Department who is not forget coming. Thank you supervisor campos for his support and cosponsor chp i didnt talk to other colleagues but wanted to make sure this is before us awhile were voting on an investigation for mario woods killing as well. Thank you supervisor campos clapping. thank you supervisor president london breed and i want to thank madam chair rosales and i think it was truly appropriated to recognize the parents from his family. clapping. i have to say i take responsibility because i feel that as a member of this body i didnt do enough to deal with what happened in the alex case i just to be clear about that if we if i as an elected official had done more maybe we have done something about how the Police Department for one thing interacts with the family that goes through this is as noted by supervisor avalos you know we heard under dwen woods as horrible in this case the family was actually interrogated first and they were made to feel they were suspect so can you imagine how u having that and so in the spirit of what we did with dwen woods i want to pubically say im sorry honor treated by itself city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco tself city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco tself city and county of San Francisco of san francischtself city and county of San Francisco of san francisctself city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco self city and county of San Francisco of san franciscelf city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco lf city and county of San Francisco of san franciscf city and county of San Francisco of san francisc city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco speaking spanish. ill simply note by making the mistake request alex and lopez perez again, the chiefs account of what happened this young man was charging the officers with the knife it took by way of a foreign newspaper in the uc to do an investigation pointing out in the autopsy the in young man was shot in the back so how someone who is charging Police Officers with a knife is shot in the back is i dont understand the law of physics so again, i also take responsibility for the fact that i didnt do enough following the perez lopez to get to the bottom of what happened and maybe if we had done that in this case we wouldnt have been here im here to say im proud that we have as a board taken a united u. S. Bancorp if i had front and today introduce the anonymous approval of other resolution we are were not to going to make the mistake of not getting it right well get it right Going Forward im proud of that clapping. supervisor avalos. Can couple of things i forgot to acknowledge father Richard Smith has been working closely with lopez perez community has been someone that has been advocates clapping. so the young man who was shot i see it is vitally important we acknowledge what is happening in terms of officer involved shootings in San Francisco, and around the country it is something that effects the community of color in particular the black communities africanamerican and Latino Community and we have to Work Together to build this unit not a one community over another both of our communities all of the communities together that need to work to create the institutional changes i have an amendment we want to make sure it gets into to vote on further resolve cause clause after the first on line 11 you have copies colleagues further be it resolved, that the board of directors request the United States department of justice to undertake the shootings of alex and lopez and he perez and mario woods and the process by which the San Francisco 49ers look at the use of force incidents thats my issue my motions to accept clapping. supervisor avalos has made a motion is there a second second colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. The amendment passes. Yeah. clapping. okay on the actual item as amended colleagues, can we take that same house, same call . Well take that without objection. The that item passes as amended and madam president for clarity for the record madam chair rosales. Seconded that. Yes. The amendment. All right. Madam clerk lets get through item 43. The item to urge mayor ed lee to enter into a formal agreement with the San Francisco bay area super bowl 50 Host Committee. Supervisor kim. I want to make a motion to continue for one week. Who said second and i did okay. Supervisor kim has made a motion and succeeded r seconded economy by supervisor peskin. I know supervisor kim how you feel id like to send this back to the committee. Okay you want to send this through committee. So madam president. One second supervisor peskin because i need to understand which one takes precedent ape a motion made and seconded sorry supervisor peskin madam clerk. In the presence of motion the motion to postpone once it is seconded it is takes the precedence of motion to continue or the motion to postpone to a date certain over an item to refer to committee. Okay so that means there was a motion and second so we are required to vote on that first and well not be able to send this item to committee. The motion that should be taken madam president is the motion to continue to a date certain. Okay once that is actually made and seconded john our City Attorney deputy City Attorney it shaking his head and mr. Gibners if we ask have a minute to confer i was directing my comment to the clerk with justice a second a a 30 second recess. Okay. So thank you. We wanted to make sure we had clarity around a specific item there was a motion and second to that item it is specific privilege of any members of the board to send any item to committee which takes precedence over any other item and so basically supervisor farrells request to send to committee is a point of privilege is a process. Supervisor peskin we can debate that different boards did it differently over time only if you rise to a point of privilege can you assert that the supervisor doesnt arises to a point of privilege on unilaterally attempted to sends it to committee over a motion that takes precedence was made and seconded this is what happened that is the motion that is before this board had supervisor farrell risen to a point of privilege and inrecognize that privilege well have that argument that didnt happen. Supervisor peskin based any feedback from our clerk and Legal Council it is my understanding that his point of privilege takes precedence over the role of making it a motion it continue. Madam president i dont irrational wish to be argumentative he didnt invoke the privilege number one and number 2 if council is giving advise to the board on internal board procedures given to the whole meeting and the clerk the board lets be clear. Thank you supervisor peskin so mr. Gibner can we have clarity please. John gibner, deputy City Attorney so i supervisor peskin a absolutely right the clerk sat paurmentd telethon when you called on me earlier he was just making a motion to the clerk to discuss to make sure were that on on the same page what i understand to be the board and clerk interpretation of the board rules not a situation that the City Attorney telling you how to run our meeting i want to make sure that the clerk was advising the board consistent with the passing okay madam clerk. Thank you madam president i too believed what supervisor farrell was making a motion which is why i believed this is important to say once it is seconded that becomes a motion on this found out that was an actual point of privilege which is is a principle that comes from the charter that a resolution has to be anonymous on First Reading and that if there is a question about that item it can be sent to committee by a siren supervisor that is as motion and the board treated motions similarly to howell how motions are recreated in the past which is why once i determined an actual point of privilege on behalf of supervisor farrell even though theres a motion from the president of motions from the boards rules the privilege request takes precedence over an actual motion. Okay with that, this item goes to committee okay supervisor cowen. Thank you. Im sorry no members of the public can engage. Supervisor cowen. A point of privilege to the paramounty clerk the term rise to the point one must physically come out of theory seats it sounds like sil you this is roberts rules of order a formal way of the studies roberts rules of order and appropriate way to address the board he is referring to that supervisor farrell did not state pubically to committee that is which is a appropriate to do and actually normally should have been done, however, does not minimize his privilege if navigate he is superintendant gerrero experiencing that privilege. Supervisor campos. Just a question family through the chair to parliamentary in the past been a different interrogation that says that a point of privilege requires that the person rise four that to take precedence over a motion. Ive worked for the board of supervisors since 1996 not seen a bridge with that issue i have i will over that if there is an appeal if the decision of president that wanted to occur that is certainly that can happen which is will the decision of precedence stated and her decision to send this to committee a board rule that allows an appeal from that decision is a motion is made i make a motion to that the decision of board president will stand or one makes an opposing motion a seconds and a majority vote will unshould you on option. Im confused but i guess this item a going to committee and were moving on okay all right. Madam clerk can you read the next item the next item is item 54 motion to approve the final map as residential unit condominium project those on lombard and to adopt the appropriate findings. Colleagues can i ask ignore a continuance to one week of a meeting of february 9th . Move forward by supervisor tang and seconded by supervisor campos colleagues well take that without objection. Madam president earlier a two go week continuance. Okay. What meeting is that. February 2nd. February 2nd. Thats one week. I said february 9th was i correct . 2 slash 2. A motion to move to continue this item to the meeting of february 2nd of 2016 . Moved that he supervisor farrell seconded by supervisor yee colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. The continuance passes all right. Madam clerk whats the next item item 55 okay motion to schedule the board of supervisors to sit as a committee as a whole on february 23rd at 3 Public Comment for that a Public Meeting and 30 years the board of supervisors to you will be instructed the Affordable Housing obligation for so on and so forth the interim controls at the june election. Okay supervisor farrell thank you supervisor president london breed im more happy to let people im rising as a point of privilege to send to committee. So with that, it is my understanding that thats the case there it is been sent to committee no further discussion of item am i; correct. Thats correct Macarthur Park madam president you supervisor peskin please let me recognize you before you speak prelim please madam clerk clarify whether or not debate on an item that is sent to committee ill say the point of privilege. Ive risen with the information. Which ill address as soon as the clerk clarifies the situation. If supervisor farrell sent this to committee that is essentially removing it from the hands of board and no longer before the board. Supervisor peskin he rise to a point of information that point of information i hereby assert a motion is intoifrl different than a resolution i assert and i acknowledge there have been different ways at different boards treated the motions different there are board that haves actually required months ago to be sent to committee by a majorities vote i suggest to you colleagues that in as far as a motion which unlike a resolution is a function of this body that we need a 6 vote majority to send this to committee mate my position and wanted a roll call vote to send to committee. Unfortunately supervisor peskin this item a no longer in the hands of the board since this is sent to committee with that, madam clerk call. Madam chair or madam president i like to rise to make a motion to appeal our decision in that matter is there a second for that motion. Supervisor peskin i not recognized you again and in this case this item from maintenance is not necessarily my decision it is once sent to committee no longer in the hands of the board of supervisors. Madam president i believe that this motion of mine appealing our decision is properly before this body. Madam president board rules does indicate that once a decision is made and the supervisor wishes to appeal it maybe taken immediately. Voted on. Thats right. Okay so can you repeat now that im recognizing you mr. Rosens repeat our request. Madam president thank you for that opportunity i am not trying to be argumentative certain things a members of the board can rise to without in no way trying to be disrespect. You sure like to rise dont you. All 5 foot 4 of me, im respectfully appealing our decision ive made a motion to the boards which has been seconded to appeal our ruling that this should be sent to committee and i would like a roll call vote on that matter please. So i need a point of clarity it is madam clerk it is not necessarily my decision as much as it is specific to the boards refuges can you clarify that. Please. So as statistics previously the Charter States that resolutions make sent to the committee if not anonymous on the first votes traditionally the board has contemplated motions and done the reach as ive mentioned fee supervisor peskin half the times months ago are sent unanimously by a single supervisor and half the times months ago are by a majority of board so it is needs clarifying in the rules i will agree but right now a decision of the president has been appealed and certainly can be voted on. An appeal to do what specifically and supervisor peskin as appealed our decision requesting that didnt stands in fact, a motion to send this to committee he made the motion but you have not yielded declared this second. Supervisor campos made a second. Okay. You did i did. Okay. All right. So then well vote on whether or not to send this item to committee. Youve vote will be the motion is whether or not your decision will stands so were voting on our decision and then substantially the motion will actually be taken on whether or not to send it to committee. Thank you for that clarity. Okay. Supervisor wiener. Thank you so i just clarify every time the chair makes a ruling is an interpretation and my understanding which i was the chair of the parties the motion you vote yes if you agree with the chairs rules and no, if you disagree four clarity for members so, yes means to sustain the ruling and agree and no means disagree and overturn the rulings of chair. Thats correct. Okay and then just also anothers point of clarification if this item is voted on today and not unanimous it fails. Madam president i believe the motion once we actually get to the motion to send it to committee would be by 6 votes. Got it. If youre decision didnt stands. Supervisor cowen. To the president to the clerk this board probably for the good part of last of years have carried out in a specific way of board culture this is something new that we are addressing new manner in which wear l. N. Over business does that mean all the other votes and motions and things weve sent in the past was it incorrectly done. Through the wanting to the supervisor cowen i can only speak to the last 9 years thats sufficient. laughter . And this body has a record of sending items to committee both ways as well and so it doesnt mean that was wrong but it was just the preference the president. Ize so in this case i dont understand why were the differences the president has indicated. I think the differences a member of the body that is indicating he would like to do it a different way. So one member of the body has the authority to change the entire body. No that takes an entire body and madam clerk i apologize. I know it is late in the hour i want to make sure we are clear think what we are doing way please explain. Youve made a decision that supervisor peskin seconded by supervisor campos would like to appeal your decision to allow this motion item 45 to be sent by a single supervisor. Which by way of for clarity ive always done if every single instance when someone as asked. So a vote will be taken on whether or not your decision should stand. And so if by decision should stand wait just to be clear what choice do you have i cant say no if a board member asked to send something to committee im trying to understand the way it is being phrased it my full decision when, in fact, a decision of this board under the rules im just doing exactly what im supposed to do as if youre fighting against my decision on my own when in fact, im doing properly following board rules to send this to committee because of a simple supervisor requested as from the past and now were voting to oppose exact okay. So madam clerk can you please explain is request and what we are voting on. A decision on whether or not a simple supervisor can send a motion to committee. Okay. If you support that a single supervisor can send it to committee youll vote. I. If you do not support it youll vote no. Okay thank you for the clarity. Afterward well take a vote to send to committee. Supervisor kim. I think were ready to vote i think as madam clerk stated it has on the history of the board weve done that 50 percent of time with motion and 50 percent not so this is not a question this board has answered we have historically done both thousands not out of practice no simple supervisor has come onto the board and changes it weve historically done that regarding motions not resolutions i wanted to clarify. Thank you, supervisor kim. Supervisor wiener. To be fair for the president this appeal is not in any way a criticism of the president this rule is due to practice or lack of clarity and treated in different ways to the through the chair is supervisor peskin thinks it should be done in different ways thats his prerogative. So call the roll a. Think whether or not the past, present, and future of the president. Supervisor kim no supervisor mar no supervisor peskin no supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee no supervisor avalos no supervisor breed supervisor campos no supervisor cowen supervisor farrell there are 5 is and i have notices with supervisor kim supervisor mar supervisor peskin supervisor yee supervisor campos and supervisor avalos in the december sent. So i guess that means that the decision does not stand; correct . And madam clerk weve already called item 55 so what are were going to do with it. Now essentially the single privilege of supervisor farrells to send this motion to committee has pan recess sentdz and a motion to send with committee with an actual motion bye modest made by supervisor peskin is on the floor. So and supervisor peskin. I would like to make a motion to continue this item for one week. Okay supervisor peskin has made a motion to continue one week and sobriety by supervisor kim and supervisor farrell. Ill second it my point of view first of all, i want to discussion i thought we were going to hear this like jeopardy but but in terms of this one any question is truly we discuss it next week why we send to the full board and others to the rules committee that is appropriate for the entire board to set through a hearing i want to be judicious about but happy to support the continuance. Okay supervisor peskin made a motion to continue item 55 to the meeting of february 2nd, 2016, seconded by supervisor kim colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. This item a continued until next week all right. Lets get to youre not necessarily final but item 56 item 56 to motion to suspend the roberts rules of order to consider without reference an amendment to extend the term of joint School District to march 2017. Okay supervisor kim. Sorry im trying to turn on any mike id like to make a motion to file that item. Or table. Or table. Madam president an item certainly your decision supervisor kim on which motion to make tabling will keep it alive for 12 months keep it on the books or vote that down and this dispenses it more efficiently. Okay so instead of ill withdraw my motion and take a roll call vote and request a no vote. In the Advisory Committee of the fact that supervisor breed is asking want Public Safety and committee to take up issues that pertain to the School District and at times invite the members of the Budget Finance Committee to sit with the committee i think that it makes extending the joined sorry the joint school move for this year so colleagues he ask you to vote down this item and i submitted in motion previous to the decision that was made by the president thank you, supervisor kim madam clerk can you call the roll. Supervisor kim no supervisor mar no supervisor peskin no supervisor tang no supervisor wiener no supervisor yee no supervisor avalos no commissioner borden no supervisor campos San Francisco supervisor cowen no supervisor farrell no there are 11 nos the motion fails all right. Lets get to the imperative items on behalf of the supervisor mar we have an imperipheral item for the California State Assembly authorized by the assembly merry irwin and senator, huh . Abandons the sale of poured alcohol in california before.
