out there -- you know, we're certainly willing and enthusiastic to help your community understand the amnesty provision and you know i think that given that the office of small business is here to help people work through the process, we'll spend sometime to kind of unravel this and try to make sense of it for your community and we'll work hopefully with you all with your assistance so that brian here can help with any analysis that's necessary. >> okay. sorry? a question? >> it's generally no but it is to your prerogative i mean note -- >> can i get in trouble? can i lose my presidency?

introduction about himself. >> great thank you regina. >> i've been with the city and county of san francisco for the past couple of years as a manager in property tax with the tax collect or and prior to have for 8 for 8 for 8 to 9 years worked with a title company and one of my accomplishments there directly relatable to this is i established amen tore program to help them get started and the program is very successful and something that i was very proud of and i'm happy to be here tonight with all of you. >> welcome. >> delighted to have you. >> okay. all right. just want to remind everybody next week is small business week and would you like for us to to do calendar invites for the different activities? >> yes. >> that are before us and so we do have flavors for the kick off. we have the boards and wednesday night is the vip reception and then friday is the all-day conversation day conference and there's a couple of other activities happening throughout that week and i'll make sure we get meeting invites and you had the calendar of activities ahead of time so and just really excited, you know, to have a really great great week again this year. in your packet is our quart ly dashboard for january through march and so just wanted to provide you with our client services numbers so total over previous year 2014 we're down 9 percent some of this has to do obviously with staffing and we did have to close the office in february for a couple of days due to vacation schedules but we are now working and staffed up so that should change. we've provided a list of our borrowers that we worked with this past quarter and i won't go into great detail. in your binder last meeting and i forgot to note this but two dates since the office has become a trust ye we've done 8 loans for a total of 83 $83,000 worth of lending to the small businesses and so very proud of that and want to highlight some of our trends that we see in -- at at the at the counter is food and beverage obviously and manufacturing and sales continues you know to be a trend and certain interesting items such as such as -- bill bill tong a type of south african jerky and beer and alcohol production is a great interest and technology business continues to be a good business and then children's play and activity centers including workshop rooms art studios and indoor playgrounds tend to be interesting things that we're seeing and the next page we've highlighted out our clients by industry and percentages and a couple of interesting -- i asked the counselors to pull out some interesting cases that are a little unusual or kind of very san francisco and the first one was a woman is a pilot and she wants to utilize drones to help her husband's business in doing soil engineering so and she wants to be based in san francisco even though likely the drones would be not in san francisco not much soil engineering i mean the kind of soil engineering she wants to do with drones and that's interesting and of course we have a mission native who came to our office because he has sort of developed a -- he worked on some bean ies with the logo system the logo sam sam and he wanted to know how to trade mark his name and get the business going and develop it as a product so then there is -- jane went over the business portal information for you so i won't repeat that and you have that here in terms of the first quarter of 2015 some accomplishments for the office and a couple of elements with the legacy business registry program commissioner adams talked about a meeting he was part of with dr. hudson and dr. lescent-giles and lisa paul, an attorney who does mostly residential condo conversions and also worked on the commercial side, doing some discussion what's involved taking a look at this so that we can -- so that the staff can start putting together this information to put it in front of you -- what would be involved and i think from that meeting we did really, you know, our next step is to really kind of work with the small property owners and the real estate industry to kindly of discuss and take a look at well, if we really pushed this kind of program, could it have some other kinds of impact to the real estate market that we may not necessarily think of -- what's the cause and effect and also for the small property owners -- who would be an incentive for them to subdivide -- you know, do a vertical subdivision and retain the residential portion and be willing to sell off the commercial portion -- so those are some things to take a look at and then i also did have a meeting with sf heritage the historical preservation staff and tim fry and sf travel again doing some exploratory discussions around criteria and also how can we work to work together to sort of leverage what will then be when we establish a legacy business registry how did we leverage it from all 3 entities's perspectives and now that brian is here i'll have the bandwidth to start focusing on that and developing the materials to put in front of you. and then i also -- in response to you know the work that supervisor tang has done around the massage and understanding just the difficulties that businesses go through, she has called for a hearing -- it was specifically with dbi and with planning to ask them about you know, what they can do they can do to improve the process not just with this particular industry but what can they do to improve the process so the hearing date has not been scheduled yet but i will let you know when it is so you know just note her continued interest but just because she's working on the legislation gets it passed but she's not you know -- she's continuing moving on wanting to ensure that things improve around the permitting process. so i think those are start of the most significant things to bring to your attention and with that if you have any questions? >> is the meeting about the cu system how to simplify it for supervisor tang or -- >> it's more than just the cu because with dbi -- so with dbi there's you know recently a small solo practitioner shared her experience of getting her business her business open and so you know this is somebody -- they are opening in in a 291 square foot place and putting paint on the wall and not doing anything else yet but yet we're asking them for architectural drawings so there's a lot of little nuances that have room room for improvement. >> all right. thank you. >> shall we move onto the next item. >> yes. item number 9 the president's report. >> i don't have anything to report except that last week i attended two events and they were very successful and that continues to be a great initiative here in the city and of course next week small business week i encourage everyone to participate as much as they can and straus events has done a fantastic job of organizing it as always that's all i have. >> the the vice president's report? >> nothing to report. >> item 11, commissioner reports? >> no? >> item 12 new business. >> nothing for tonight. >> then so item number 13 is adjournment. >> mr. dwight motion to adjourn do we have a second? >> mr. white seconded it. all in favor. it is 7: 14. >> thank you. >>. >> hi, i'm ryan a prlth letting project manager with the sfpuc working at the sfpuc is a fast-paced environment the puc is american people eye person so breath and depth allows us to work on allows me to move across my career path. >> fill the roadway. >> our unique projects is the heritage puc water treatment

thank you for considering this. this is a subject that's been going around and around for a long time. i've been a professional massage therapist for over 40 years working in san francisco in the healthcare business cpmc aids patients ortho services and working for chiropractors and licensed by the city of san francisco and they have been in business for 30 years and everything is going along wonderfully and i've provided myself over sixty thousand healing massage sessions in my career so far. i'm probably one of the few in the bay area that has more than 30 years as an american massage therapy association member so i'm pretty aware of most of the people that are in the business in san francisco and i want to thank them for stepping up just like you thanked them and i want to thank supervisor weiner for taking an interest in this and i think he's he's a could not she he's a good supervisor and i see some things that i that i that i find i wouldn't say disturbing but alarming and i'll bring this to the attention of supervisor weiner and katie tang as well and i hope that all of these issues are hashed out and that the business -- for example myself you know my profession is respected and my livelihood is respected and as a health serving institution is respected and they are not put under extraordinary pressure for more fees and regulations which will not control which is really the problem which is the criminalization of prostitution got a problem here where a massage therapy is associated with prostitution and it's an ongoing trouble and i don't want to have to suffer my career and the public's access to healing massage suffer because of that and thank you. >> thank you for coming out. >> yes. mr. hollis? >> good afternoon commission. first of all, i would just like to thank you all for dealing with us for the past couple of months not months as long as we have been here [laughter] definitely appreciate supervisor weiner and his recommendations to help us out with bringing us some kind of right into this bill that we have going on. i have a couple of questions though just to throw out some ideas about some some of the things you mentioned when it comes to something like an out call, so to speak, like if i was working for myself and i can, you know, i guess lease, not lease but rent time out on somebody else's lease building will that make me obligated to have to go to a cup process? if i'm renting time on somebody's building so to speak? what would be the regulations behind nonprofit massage? would they have to go through the same regulations just as much as a regular corporate business would or something along those lines and a couple of the business advocates here with the -- what's that? the university of san francisco? i believe. their incentive program would be very good to implement such as small businesses starting out and if there's people who are doing something right you know going through the right regulations and things of that nature to help drop the fees on small business owners such as those that don't have the money to take out the loans that will definitely help us out along with those advocates that are not doing so well with the traffic ers and prostitution and stuff like that that they can keep the fees but help us get through the fees and that would be something good to implement i would think in my own eyes and i think it has been listened to and responded to in some kind of way and i appreciate that. thank you. >> thank you very much. any other comments? >> i feel like i spend with you all than i do my entire family. >> we're part of your family [laughter]. >> i'm going to miss you all so much. thank you so much. i've been through some horrific stuff but my business, , i'm letting go. i think supervisor weiner has great ideas i'm really really thankful for him and i think amnesty is still confusing and we don't have any goals about starting to get into that and imagine it gets voted on next week and it's a law what happens? what do i tell everybody? i'm going to start getting phone calls and i'll need to work with regina regina about what when and where because people are confused and we're not getting any response from supervisor tang's office and i'm going to read what she wrote. pointing out that quad are you that quad ruple regulation -- if the the space is shared by 4 practitioners could be a problem. weiner asked that a single space may be inspected 16 times. she says it seems that all 4 practitioners should be able to share the same permit or at least share one set of inspections plus fees and a lot of the practitioners are only renting maybe one or 2-days a week when first starting out and possibly in multiple locations and that's an issue with solo practitioners having the same department go to the same space 16 times that's kind of crazy so if you could recommend something for that that would be like amazing other than that thank you very much i'm sure we'll be back hopefully for happy things. a party? i have no idea at this point thank you and we'll keep sending you random e-mails i have 41 seconds left i can keep talking i'm teasing. . >> thank you very much. any other speakers for comment? >> yes. announcing speaker. >> how do you say it? oh, easier than it looks. all right thank you. >> my name is tony -- i'm the governmental regulation s chair california chapter and i really want to thank you guys you took time to dig into our issue and see showed a very keen grasp of the problem that these ordinances cause for us and advocate on our behalf and thank you very very much and a few things briefly first supervisor weiner suggested that making new massage businesses eligible for the 3 bcp priority processing program in seeking conditional use permits we think it's a good idea. this would draw up a process that could take up to 6 to 12 months to 30-day and see this would be critical to the small businesses that we run and land use regulations where other xat compatible businesses -- so now with the concession that there's going to be a permit process to guard the door these become prejudicial and unnecessary. supervisor tang was great in trying to work this out and the mechanics of it but nobody is going to understand it and even if it becomes law to have workshops for people that have massage businesses will be not only beneficial i think it will be essential and requiring a duplicate background check. it's actually illegal under the act as amended. it specifically says you can not require a certificate holder to undergo a second background check so those lines should be amendmented to reflect that. >> someone also mentioned the other side of the issue not only one massage therapists getting permits in multiple location but also one location having multiple therapists and the costs that that imposes and finally the ordinance right now charges for an application and annual fee for the first year -- that's my warning. we would like to see the annual fee change to a renewal fee and the renewal fee would come up in the second year and you wouldn't have to pay twice in the first year to establish your business. thank you very much. >> first off do we have any other public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you for those very specific and substantive suggestions it's really hard to write legislation so when you come to the table with very specific, well-thought out suggestions like that they often get written into the legislation and you save people a lot of hassle trying to write it themselves and these are the types of issues we'll help you work on and dedicated to applying our resources to it and brian just joined us here not only to help us administer our meetings but more importantly to be to be to be an analyst and one of our commissioners is on a short fuse here we're here to make a recommendation tonight and if i may cut to the chase there's a couple of items that we might recommend as as a group here and put forth as an official recommendation on behalf of the commission looking forward. the first recommendation is to work with supervisor weiner's office on the proposed amendments to the planning code and also to work with him going forward on any follow along legislation that that might be recommendations whether it might be the planning and or the department of health and where necessary to make, to work with supervisors in specific districts around zoning issues and understand that zoning -- geographically around the city we have to take it up with the supervisors and ultimately the residents and business owners in those micro districts and or micro neighborhoods where they might have already you know passed certain restrictions so we can certainly take that up with supervisors on a case by case basis and assist you in that way and then finally, working with the massage community to define the potential need to develop a more nuanced established license fee as you mentioned. soul practitioners sharing a space or in the case where a sole practitioner operates in multiple spaces and these issues, there's probably more and your list provides a really excellent framework for moving forward so. >> i would second your -- >> those would be the suggestions if there are any comments, please make them now. >> i would like the president -- to be specific about what we're supporting as to supervisor weiner's proposals should we go over them and be specific about them or read them into the record? >> well, so he has made proposals to to the current -- to be considered and written into the current legislation. >> yeah he's going to be introducing new legislation and the 4 items i read to you earlier on page 3 those were confirmed by mr. powers his aid this afternoon whether it's him or somebody else i think there will be i think there will need to be something done to define that but in terms of -- >> this is about the planning code. >> this is about the planning code so supervisor weiner has committed to deal with the solo practitioner colocated in the chiropractor offices -- the multiple licenses if a practitioner is located in multiple does business in multiple locations the permit making any changes to that is under the health code so he won't be dealing with that it's only around the land use zoning applications. and then allowing an amnesty program -- allowing those that have completed the amnesty to move one time and then find a means for massage establishments to go through the cb 3 p and amend the definition and this is only under the planning code of service medical to include something like massage i think that that is a means to try to help deal with the issue where medical services are permitted in one zoning district but massage establishments are not. in addition to -- so the specifics of how those get written you know is really to the land use attorneys but those are kind of the laymen's terms of the objectives of what he wants to accomplish. >> if i may continue on this issue i propose -- i move that this commission supports supervisor weiner's efforts along these lines as read into the records. >> okay. >> just another point of clarification once it's correct me if it's introduced it will come back before you to be reviewed and heard. >> very well. anyone second the motion? >> commissioner dooley? >> oh, sorry. yes, please. >> i just wanted to say that i think we've made some progress here. i personally think that there's still things in this legislation that are punitive towards the massage industry and not really understanding or being respectful of what a solid profession this is but i'm hoping that these issues will be addressed ongoing because i personally do think that there are still problems with this legislation that are going to have a negative effect on your industry so i just want to let you know that that is a concern. >> okay. thank you. any other comments before we move on with commission tour-sarkissian's motion? >> so your motion dealt with working with supervisor weiner on his 4 items? >> at least on this issue. >> okay. and then do we want to take that specifically? commissioner dwight had made other suggestions. >> add on to that yeah. i wanted to be a little bit more specific about supervisor weiner's suggestions but we can add on everything that our president said. >> okay so to include that -- to have the commission and staff work with the massage industry in the community to work where needed with supervisor's offices on specific zoning districts and then to continue to work with the massage community to define -- i mean it's not maybe just the solo practitioners but i think the larger issues are around the solo practitioners but there still needs to be some clarification -- >> clarification when they have multiple locations primary versus -- >> right and then i don't know -- i mean there might be some other elements that i think have been brought up that fall sort of in that broader umbrella of you know things like duplicate background checks and things of that sort that we can take a look at. >> i think that that motion you know expresses our desire to help move this forward even beyond the current legislation. >> all right so we have a motion before us. is there a second? >> second. motion by commissioner tour-sarkissian and seconded by commissioner dooley. shall we do a role call? >> yes. >> commissioner dwight? >> yes. >> commissioner dooley? >> yes. >> commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> yes. >> commissioner white? >> yes. >> all right that motion passes 4 to zero and we have a quorum and thank you commissioners. >> lastly, if i could put it out there -- you know, we're certainly willing and enthusiastic to help your community understand the amnesty provision and you know i think that given that the office of small business is here to help people work through the process, we'll spend sometime to kind of unravel this and try to make sense of it for your community and we'll work hopefully with you all with your assistance so that brian here can help with any analysis that's necessary. >> okay. sorry? a question? >> it's generally no but it is to your prerogative i mean note -- >> can i get in trouble? can i lose my presidency? >> technically it is out of order. >> okay. >> unless you do it specifically -- invite somebody up. >> can i specifically invite somebody up? i can. okay i'd like to specifically invite you to come up and say what you have to say real quickly. >> thank you. are we allowed to volunteer to help you do the amnesty program and explain it to our people? >> yeah, sure. >> okay we'll have volunteers to help you. >> okay. thank you. >> okay. i think that concludes these two items. thank you all very much for coming out tonight. very much appreciate it. and to be continued. all right. let's move onto the next item. >> all right. item number 7. discussion and possible action to make recommendations to the board of supervisors on bos file number 150462 the public works code waiver of street space fee for small business week sidewalk sales. >> commissioners, so this is the annual sidewalk sale fee waiver that we support. >> yep. >> so just as a matter of pro forma putting it before the commission and i've highlighted for you we're doing it over 2 we 2 weekends -- mother's day weekend and may 23rd which is memorial day weekend so different districts had desires to do it in different weekends and some districts are doing it both weekends and i did get the supervisor of that district's support to support the two weekends so anyway? >> we've had mother's day. >> oh wait mother's day was last week sorry. >> so memorial day and father's day. >> so saturday may 16th and then the 233rd and i have the different districts participating. >> do we have a motion? >> we need to take public comment. >> do we have public comment on this item? seeing none public comment is closed. do we have a motion or any discussion before the motion? >> i move. >> i second. >> okay. so commissioner dooley motioned and commissioner white seconded and role call? >> commissioner dooley. >> yes. >> commissioner dwight. >> yes. >> commissioner tour-sarkissian. >> yes. . >> commissioner white. >> yes. >> thank you very much. item number 8 is the director's report. >> all right commissioners first i just want to say welcome to brian pool -- [applause] yeah i wanted him to give just a quick, you know introduction about himself. >> great thank you regina. >> i've been with the city and county of san francisco for the past couple of years as a manager in property tax with the tax collect or and prior to have for 8 for 8 for 8 to 9 years worked with a title company and one of my accomplishments there directly relatable to this is i established amen tore program to help them get started and the program is very successful and something that i was very proud of and i'm happy to be here tonight with all of you. >> welcome. >> delighted to have you. >> okay. all right. just want to remind everybody next week is small business week and would you like for us to to do calendar invites for the different activities? >> yes. >> that are before us and so we do have flavors for the kick off. we have the boards and wednesday night is the vip reception and then friday is the all-day conversation day conference and there's a couple of other activities happening throughout that week and i'll make sure we get meeting invites and you had the calendar of activities ahead of time so and just really excited, you know, to have a really great great week again this year. in your packet is our quart ly dashboard for january through march and so just wanted to provide you with our client services numbers so total over previous year 2014 we're down 9 percent some of this has to do obviously with staffing and we did have to close the office in february for a couple of days due to vacation schedules but we are now working and staffed up so that should change. we've provided a list of our borrowers that we worked with this past quarter and i won't go into great detail. in your binder last meeting and i forgot to note this but two dates since the office has become a trust ye we've done 8 loans for a total of 83 $83,000 worth of lending to the small businesses and so very proud of that and want to highlight some of our trends that we see in -- at at the at the counter is food and beverage obviously and manufacturing and sales continues you know to be a trend and certain interesting items such as such as -- bill bill tong a type of south african jerky and beer and alcohol production is a great interest and technology business continues to be a good business and then children's play and activity centers including workshop rooms art studios and indoor playgrounds tend to be interesting things that we're seeing and the next page we've highlighted out our clients by industry and percentages and a couple of interesting -- i asked the counselors to pull out some interesting cases that are a little unusual or kind of very san francisco and the first one was a woman is a pilot and she wants to utilize drones to help her husband's business in doing soil engineering so and she wants to be based in san francisco even though likely the drones would be not in san francisco not much soil engineering i mean the kind of soil engineering she wants to do with drones and that's interesting and of course we have a mission native who came to our office because he has sort of developed a -- he worked on some bean ies with the logo system the logo sam sam and he wanted to know how to trade mark his name and get the business going and develop it as a product so then there is -- jane went over the business portal information for you so i won't repeat that and you have that here in terms of the first quarter of 2015 some accomplishments for the office and a couple of elements with the legacy business registry program commissioner adams talked about a meeting he was part of with dr. hudson and dr. lescent-giles and lisa paul, an attorney who does mostly residential condo conversions and also worked on the commercial side, doing some discussion what's involved taking a look at this so that we can --
staff can start putting together this information to put it in front of you -- what would be involved and i think from that meeting we did really, you know, our next step is to really kind of work with the small property owners and the real estate industry to kindly of discuss and take a look at well, if we really pushed this kind of program, could it have some other kinds of impact to the real estate market that we may not necessarily think of -- what's the cause and effect and also for the small property owners -- who would be an incentive for them to subdivide -- you know, do a vertical subdivision and retain the residential portion and be willing to sell off the commercial portion -- so those are some things to take a look at and then i also did have a meeting with sf heritage the historical preservation staff and tim fry and sf travel again doing some exploratory discussions around criteria and also how can we work to work together to sort of leverage what will then be when we establish a legacy business registry how did we leverage it from all 3 entities's perspectives and now that brian is here i'll have the bandwidth to start focusing on that and developing the materials to put in front of you. and then i also -- in response to you know the work that supervisor tang has done around the massage and understanding just the difficulties that businesses go through, she has called for a hearing -- it was specifically with dbi and with planning to ask them about you know, what they can do they can do to improve the process not just with this particular industry but what can they do to improve the process so the hearing date has not been scheduled yet but i will let you know when it is so you know just note her continued interest but just because she's working on the legislation gets it passed but she's not you know -- she's continuing moving on wanting to ensure that things improve around the permitting process. so i think those are start of the most significant things to bring to your attention and with that if you have any questions? >> is the meeting about the cu system how to simplify it for supervisor tang or -- >> it's more than just the cu because with dbi -- so with dbi there's you know recently a small solo practitioner shared her experience of getting her business her business open and so you know this is somebody -- they are opening in in a 291 square foot place and putting paint on the wall and not doing anything else yet but yet we're asking them for architectural drawings so there's a lot of little nuances that have room room for improvement. >> all right. thank you. >> shall we move onto the next item. >> yes. item number 9 the president's report. >> i don't have anything to report except that last week i attended two events and they were very successful and that continues to be a great initiative here in the city and of course next week small business week i encourage everyone to participate as much as they can and straus events has done a fantastic job of organizing it as always that's all i have. >> the the vice president's report? >> nothing to report. >> item 11, commissioner reports? >> no? >> item 12 new

incorrectly stated it is up to dr s executive director he commissioner makras will let even though ethics commission to do your job, your rules require this board to come expose of the amendment there is nothing pro bono this board from pro bono commissioner paskin-jordan conflict of interest with the investigation retirement board should dispose of this language this body adopted you're in the best position to know what is incompatible why leave this to the mission or the executive director after all there is no experience of investment training at all compared to this board compromised of the members of the century of investors how long is reasonable time to wait for quote/unquote advise from the ethics commission don't you all want to put this behind you commissioner makras singles this board operates in the robert rule of order when will i calendar in the e r s investigation of commissioner paskin-jordan did they did, in fact gain in inethical activities you'd like look foolish if you fail to investigate her own admission of a golden state warriors fund we need to schedule an investigation soon commissioner makras thank you >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm kay walker welcome. >> i've come here to talk once again about small business owner something noted on this agenda this is the hundred million dollars that the mayor wants from our pension fund i talked to the gray panthers and others in the union, etc. and they're a wide range of opinions nobody took the position if the gray panthers i'll give you responses number one most people don't think the mayor should get a dime of our money one of the reasons the first one he did when he became mayor was to go after the pensions of retirees and transform civil service in a way that harms the employees so, now he comes back and asks the same people i did for hundred million dollars this to a lot of 0 people you know outages so that's one opinion another opinion is that affordable housing only you know forgot what the mayor did but you know we're in a crisis a housing crisis everyone knows that the whole country knows about it why why not help two people's but not in the sense the may may or may not pose having to do with the bloovt we don't even have $15 an hour minimum wage yet and that's between 28 and $29,000 nothing in the bmr range to cover that so people are also saying here's another idea i favor this this is well, the building idea you know buying a building forgetting all the mayor's office proposal it is so political so hugely political now and a lot of unknowns patrick shaw wrote a column about this going into the statistics and the trust fund and not know where all the money is going yet and then looking at the planning commission numbers hundred and 13 percent of has been used for market rate building and only 21 percent for affordable housing so going back to the idea of affordable housing which seems to appeal to some people that i know and that are more progressive there is also another idea why not limit who can enter the lottery. >> 30 seconds and make the range under 50 percent to hundred percent instead of going to hundred and 20 percent that's all i have the time that's my proposal that is more affordable and keep this is our money basically and also we're taxpayers so let's keep it within this particular group and it might work thank you. >> thank you. >> hi jed. >> hello commissioner makras jed from fossil free infrastructure i want to reat that point what the board did relative to the fossil fuel the board tasted a level two procedure against the tractors list and the board moved to allocate up to hundred million dollars into a fossil fuels fund and asked the staff to talk about section 8ing out of worse of the worse with him level 2 is going on so really we want to follow up on all the items we're really excited the last two meetings were milestones for the nation even though it may not be so in this room we want to make sure that things are moving forward so the first one we would like to see a timeline for implementing level 2 we submitted to you folks your requested idea of a timeline in actions that can be taken we would like to see staffs version of that unless they plan on acting on otherwise the board and public has not way of insure the boards wishes are acted on one think of the financier joining the climate risk and other activities we want to know that has happened and other activities underway as far as the fossil fuels we don't side see investment on the calendar we expect the worst of the worse we sent you a letter on march 7 by 7 which kind of reflected different ways at looking at the worst of the worse jeremy and a come up of other suggestions we'd like love to know the status of the level 3 the partial level that process and want to insure that the fossil fuel issue stays at the full board rather than a subcommittees so for the fundamental since this meeting is archived for the public amp all 3 of the issues we could benefit prosecute potentially some kind of more formalized stakeholders interaction with the staff around those issues so there is information glow flow and really want to thank you very much for your actions in the last two meegz if fully implemented they'll make a stronger contribution. >> 30 seconds. >> to the future stability of the system thank you. >> jeremy welcome. >> good afternoon, commissioners jeremy legislative aide to supervisor campos commissioner avalos and follow-up on what mr. hypothesis man said about the e-mail from the flesh man and covering the way to look at the worst of worse offending i've brought copies of the recommendations that mr. fleischer talked about the top 2 hundred coal companies and mania 20 list a dynamic list of the companies the top 5 are published on the website and the remainder for discrepancy around $900 per year and updated quarterly and similar data from the black and blue beggar the gentleman that application specialist will be helpful on that i'm excited about the took the order to look at the worst of the worse and happy to help support that n in any way possible one other issue i want to touch on a new report from carbon tracker for the exploration and shell oil and gas companies that includes 3 of the 5 in the portfolio and looking at the way they've used hedge fund to the following oil prices and look at those hedges will be expiring and companies in position for future declining oil pros privacy and to read from the carbon tractorer hedges have given oil and shelf for the falling oil prices we've not seen the market share they go both been in-debt petroleum are particular vulnerable in oil prices and those are not exactly the worse of worse their expiration gas companies but further evidence of the sort of risky landscape. >> 30 seconds. >> i heap e hope you'll reconsider that and thank you for your time. >> any other speakers? seeing none, i'm going to close public comment item 2 >> item 2 an action approval of the minutes of the april 2015 retirement board meeting and entertain a motion of adoption. >> i'll make motion. >> opening it up for public comment on approval of minutes important april 8, 2015. >> thank you commissioner makras sunshine section states that written testimony quote shall if more than hundred and 50 words be included in the minutes unquote the task force repeating said in the minutes medians e medians included in an agenda item not in the attachment at the end of the document i'm asking for a board member to introduce a motion to move my written testimony regarding commissioner paskin-jordan from page thirty in the draft meeting minutes page 3 where they belong because and was the first person to spoke during the normal pub public comment if you don't i'll file a sunshine complaint i'll win given that the sunshine task force has ruled this repeatedly it makes no sense to include oral testimony summarized by our secretary given the board minutes and supplement the written testimony by punishing pushing it to the end of the document that is simply disjointed as far as that goes i'm not i'm going to address the twice selected minutes that's got the same problem only worse i'm going i'm going to repeat section states hundred and 50 word testimony be included in the minutes before commissioner makras proposed postponed the deduction of the march 11 draft minute meeting in april the march 11 draft minutes as presented them including my written testimony before the items on pages 37 and 38 for general item one public comment and item approval the board mini meeting minutes and agenda 9 simply managed accountants, however, the revised minutes your supposed to consider today simply deleted all of my written testimony that amounts to censorship by the board you need to table the adoption of those minutes so my minutes can be put in the proper place the order of the body of the minutes from sunshine ordinance requires not at the end as in the attachment thank you commissioner makras. >> thank you. any other i'm going to close public comment could you opine in this is in violation of the section. >> commissioner the sunshine ordinance does provide for the hundred and 50 word written summary the good government guide testifies that it can be attached at the end or included in the portion of the minutes where the speaker made his comments it is correct the sunshine ordinance task force has taken the position that the minutes that the statements should be included in the minutes for the agenda item where the agenda item were the statement was made in that portion of the minutes your there's a chair about the good government guide not a legal document. >> malia cohen thank you

interesting items such as such as -- bill bill tong a type of south african jerky and beer and alcohol production is a great interest and technology business continues to be a good business and then children's play and activity centers including workshop rooms art studios and indoor playgrounds tend to be interesting things that we're seeing and the next page we've highlighted out our clients by industry and percentages and a couple of interesting -- i asked the counselors to pull out some interesting cases that are a little unusual or kind of very san francisco and the first one was a woman is a pilot and she wants to utilize drones to help her husband's business in doing soil engineering so and she wants to be based in san francisco even though likely the drones would be not in san francisco not much soil engineering i mean the kind of soil engineering she wants to do with drones and that's interesting and of course we have a mission native who came to our office because he has

you and ask for your action on is to reconsider ab 779, found on page 7 of the matrix. this measure has been a watch and we're asking for you to reconsider and recategorize it has opposition. essentially, it pertains to the metrics used to measure traffic and greenhouse gas emissions in transportation priority areas. and on further reflection and collaboration with local agencies we find it's too flexible and a step backwards from where the city has been moving and recommend oppose. >> we had a discussion about the other items last time. questions or comments? we can go to public comment. public comment is open. >> additional -- >> i was going to give a quick update on the federal transportion project. >> the current bill expires at the end of may and the federal trust fund will be bankrupt by july. so just a little better than the may prediction they had before but still we're looking at deficit and no real way to fund it since no one is talking about that. and the president introduced the grow america tax. this would be paid by a tax on earnings in addition to the gas tax. it increases transit programs more than doubles the discretionary tiger grant program, which is very over subscribed at the federal level and increase an $18 billion freight program. we're watching but unfortunately, it would be great for transportation and he introducing he's every year and usually congress doesn't go anywhere. we're looking at another short term >> thank you. bad congress. >> good morning, chair avalos. i was proud to join with agencies around the region to rally and call on congress to pass a long-term bill. our delegation in california is fantastic. it's the other folks in the nation that need to come toward. what we heard interestingly from the director of cal trans, malcolm dougherty, in other parts of nation where we don't have voter approved bill. both at the local and state level, they are really facing tough choices. they can't enter into construction projects. that i need to demobilize once there's a federal long-term bill. this is so disruptive and we are fortunate to be cushioned from that or protected from that because of our ability for self help at the local level as well as state level. >> thank you. okay. and no comments from the committee here. thank you for the presentation and the updates. this is open for public comment. any member of the public who would like to comment? seeing none, we will close public comment and can we do the same inhouse call. >> we need to amend the item first. >> so colleagues we need to make an amendment to move from watch to oppose for ab 77 and can we have a motion. >> so moved. >> second. >> and we will take that without objection. and on the item underlying item we can take the same inhouse >> okay. gavel. >> we will approve that. next item please. item number five, recommend awarding an 18 month contract for planning and environmental at a-280 at balboa park and negotiate terms and conditions. >> good morning i am liz rutman. i am senior engineer for capitol projects transportation authority. as you may recall last june we came to the plan and program committees for the adoption of the balboa park study we completed in the spring. at that time the board adopted the staff-recommended petition for bicycle safety and minimize traffic going from i-280. out of the study came recommendations for several project elements. element one is to close the northbound on ramp from geneva avenue. element two is reassign the southbound lane and the third is a potential kiss and rider access. this past february we came before the board for an appropriation of $750,000 to advance the next steps in the study and that would found the transportation staff and the interagency agreements with cal-trans and a consultance report. i am here asking for an amount not to exceed $450,000. the consultant scope of work for the next steps include a traffic analysis for both ramp modifications and the precurser to the subscent project approvals. this analysis would be presented to fhwa for approval since it changes access for an interstate highway. the southbound off ramp realignment to ocean avenue we hope to have completed for next year and the consultant would support our community outreach in helping with a funding and implementation plan for the projects. we released the proposals in every february. we set an sbe dbe goal. any one would work for 28%. we received two proposals in early march. both competed the 28% goal. we interviewed both firms and the unanimous, the panel selected ae com as the most qualified team with the best relevant services. chs consulting and recco, three of the four firms are of the dbe, slb firms. >> thank you. that's the end. i think there's one part of the study that i'm concerned that should be addressed and i'm not clear if it's being planned. there are a lot of people in district 11 and probably close around district 11 who are concerned about the meeting forward program, in particular the 29, 54 and 52 that have been dropping off on geneva and will pick up on ocean avenue. the plans to access the change were done in 2007 2006 when the tep was put forward. we have seen changes dramatic in terms of traffic patterns around there and often and certain times of the day you see that ocean avenue is at a stand still and whether it makes a lot of sense to actually move these bus lines to ocean avenue is you know one that i think is worth considering. as we're adding in these other changes where we're closing down an on ramp going north from geneva geneva, that's going to move traffic to ocean avenue as well. i think we should be being lewing at in this -- looking at this in the ways we're changing to getting on and getting off of the 280. is that something that's being proposed? >> when the circulation study was done, we assumed that the changes to the routing proposed by the tep was in place. the analysis done already included those. we will continue to include those and coordinate with mta on which elements are moving forward versus which have changed since the tep was written to ensure we're including the changes correctly in the traffic analysis. this would be more detailed and we will include those improvements to make sure it's holistically evaluated. >> great, i'm concerned that we're diverting more congestion into ocean avenue that will lead to huge impacts to the speed which we're trying to address with our changes to on ramp -- >> it's a valid concern. it's the first thing we will do to make sure these projects can continue to move >> great. thank you. >> colleagues any other questions? thank you for the presentation. this item is open for public comment. any member of the public who would like to comment. please come forward. seeing none, we will close public comment and this item we can take same call, colleagues. the item passes. our next item. >> item next 6 introduction of new items. this is an introduction item. any new issues? colleagues discussions? okay. we will open this up for public comment? and seeing no member come forward. we will close public item. we will go on to general public comment. any member of the public that would like to comment? count down from five to one in my head. we will close public comment and our next item. >> item 8 is adjournment. i would like to thank sfg tv staff for their presentation. we you at the full ta meeting next week. we're adjourned. i'm the president of friends of mclaren park. it is one of the oldest neighborhood community park groups in san francisco. i give a lot of tours through the park. during those tours, a lot of the folks in the group will think of the park as very scary. it has a lot of hills, there's a lot of dense groves. once you get towards the center of the park you really lose your orientation. you are very much in a remote area. there are a lot of trees that shield your view from the urban setting. you would simply see different groves that gives you a sense of freedom, of being outdoors, not being burdened by the worries of city life. john mclaren had said that golden gate park was too far away. he proposed that we have a park in the south end of the city. the campaign slogan was, people need this open space. one of the things that had to open is there were a lot of people who did a homestead here, about 25 different families. their property had to be bought up. so it took from 1928 to 1957 to buy up all the parcels of land that ended up in this 317 acres. the park, as a general rule, is heavily used in the mornings and the evenings. one of the favorite places is up by the upper reservoir because dogs get to go swim. it's extremely popular. many fights in the city, as you know, about dogs in parks. we have 317 acres and god knows there's plenty of room for both of us. man and his best friend. early in the morning people before they go to work will walk their dogs or go on a jog themselves with their dogs. joggers love the park, there's 7 miles of hiking trails and there's off trail paths that hikers can take. all the recreational areas are heavily used on week

up costing her her life. this is just so horrible. she was very adamant about justice and things being right. >> after judy's murder, the neighborhood paid for private security guards and crime has gone down. tonight, all the thieves running around stealing people's cell phones should be thanking the california state senate. in san francisco, two out of every three rob roys aboved a cell phone. in oakland, 75%. but today, the senate voted down a bill that would have required cell phone makers to install a kill switch so people could disable stolen phones. the bill's sponsor blames the influence of big corporations. >> unfortunately, the industry which, just stating a fact here, makes tens of billions of dollars annually replacing lost and stolen phones and makes $8 billion selling you and me insurance, just in case we get robbed. so if that in fact goes away, their bottom line will be impacted. >> the senate will take up the issue one more time next week. lots of bay area tech

six unit building, then i have six new first time home buyers who now have a place to live. >> reporter: that is because a building full of empty rental unit can be sold cheaper than condos but riskier because everyone has to share one mortgage. >> entry level homeowner ship. >> reporter: we finally caught up with the elusive elba at a court hearing. >> i'm not talking to you anymore. >>

reduce the chicken stock about 50%. >> we don't want the chicken to get too rubbery, so we grilled it halfway done, we let it finish cooking in here and the sauce goes down and down and down and down, it thickens up and becomes nice and savory. >> it smells so good. a little pepper. a little parsley. >> just a little bit. >> perfect. nice. then just a little bit of red pepper flakes. sorry, steph,

work. it definitely makes me want to strive to be better so i can help her out. >>reporter: which he does, cooking, making sure his brother does his homework. >> he has a small apartment, he doesn't have a place to do his work, he doesn't have quiet to do his work. it's an entirely different universe. >>reporter: the boys sleep on a bunk bed in the front room. money is always short. >> rent is $900 and my mom makeses maybe a little -- makes maybe a little more than $1,000, so we don't do luxuries. >> not enough money to buy school supplies, not enough money to buy a snack if he's hungry. >>reporter: it would be hard for most teenagers to navigate these two worlds, but alejandro does it with a dignity that's unusual for someone his age. >> there have been families here who know of our situations and sometimes they'll give us clothes they don't need or sometimes it'll be a box of food or vegetables. my deepest thanks to them because they've definitely helped us out. it's meant a lot. >> he's grounded enough to know that money doesn't define him and have a sense that other things are more important. >>reporter: what has helped you rise above? >> education is key. it's something that my mom has told me and it's something that i live by. it's that search for knowledge. >>reporter: alejandro has already been accepted to williams college in massachusetts. wendy takuta, kpix5 >> congratulations, it paid off. if you want to help alejandro and other kids like him, go to kpix5/college to find out how. ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,, this saturday morning, aprie 26th. good morning,

on this guy's head. >>reporter: he is the former chief financial officer in town on business. he hopped on the shuttle minutes before the accident. he says he was standing in the aisle when they ended up behind the wreck. he says the driver then opened all the doors and several people got out to help, but he went straight for the driver because of his severe bleeding. >> so i quickly opened the door behind the driver and jumped into the car which was upside down and then got a couple of guys to hold his legs while i released the seat belt and then got him laying flat. >>reporter: he used his dress shirt to put pressure on his head until paramedics arrived a few minutes later. wayne says he spoke to the elderly driver who couldn't remember what had just happened. >> he basically had a

they tried to rob a bank but left without any money. a bank employee followed the group until police pulled the stolen car over and that's when the officers found the elderly victim. >> this is very unusual, i'm not aware of any other similar case that we've had in the last 10 or 15 years. there could be but this is extremely unusual to have a male suspect, to have a kidnapping occur at the same time as an attempted bank robbery. >> the good news is the 80-year- old woman was not hurt. police say they did not know she was kidnapped until they spoke to her and no one had realized that she was

definitely help you with prevention if you should get carjacked. >>reporter: the training is aggressive and sometimes violent and oakland police flat out discourage resisting. their philosophy, fighting back is not worth getting hurt or killed over property. zellick agrees the best case scenario is to deescalate the situation or walk away. but he says there are some situations that require aggression. >> your kids in the car, you cannot give away the car. you cannot just let the person take the kid. >>reporter: zellick says he teaches a full range of scenarios, when to flee and when to fight. in oakland, kristen ayers, kpix5. >> and the next carjacking seminar is today at the crowd megainstitute. coming up a bad employee? the reason this postal worker gave for hording thousands of

>> i have no choice, we have bills to pay >> this is true. you were also the first african- american comedian to sit on "the tonight show" couch. that was huge and that was certainly a melding of the civil rights movement, plus your comedic talent. what was that like for snu >> well, it wasn't talent. there were 100 folks qualified to sit there. there's an unwritten law that said you can sing and dance if you're black, but you can't stand flat footed and talk. >> but you did. >> and that's because i pushed -- i didn't even realize. i'd been watching jack parr every night for i guess five years and i never realized that a negro couldn't sit down on the couch, you could stand and do your acting and i didn't know that until a great trainer told me that's why he wouldn't go. i cried. i walked home 97 blocks crying because i didn't see that. you don't see things when you're not forced into it when you accept it. women don't see that men make you look the way they want you to look. that's why they make lipstick, but they don't wear it. they make high-heeled shoes, but they don't wear them. they make all the other things -- and the chinese really messed up when they thought, oh, if our feet could just be a little smaller, she'd be sexy, so they lost all their power, when they caught on to that, they're just beginning to get it back. so that's going to change now. >> but you are known for giving the state of the union address specifically to the african- american community. you did that for many years. what would you say today is the state of the union? >> we're the only group of people that have ever been enslaved or embond that we got out of it we thought by education. anytime you take education over liberation, you're going the wrong way. george washington they didn't beat up the british because they wanted the right to build a college, they wanted to be free, they wanted to be liberated, and we are going to find out that i cannot be liberate it until you are liberated. i calm up in a rigidly segregated city. i didn't see no white folks, st. louis, missouri, so i didn't know white folks would tolerate what they tolerate over a hand full of thugs and vandals. i didn't know a white woman who came over on the boat with this boy didn't get the right to vote until 1921 and i didn't know because i never heard her complain. >> but you saw so much change in society over the decades. >> yes. >> how do you effect change in this day and age? >> you can't until you understand it here, until you understand, you know, and co- exist with the universe, you know. i'm not talking about the church, 2 billion years ago the dinosaur left, there was no church, there was no religion. that same universal god force that put that together, that's the one that put the universe together says give me my hair, okay?
