SFGTV BOS Full Board Of Supervisors 21417 February 15, 2017

Cosponsors, supervisors kim,fewer ronen, cohen, and safai. We really need to help our allies at the staff level to help us pass this legislation. I really hope we have a hearing on this and that everyone can be convinced that this is what we need in San Francisco. Thank you supervisor yee. Supervisor breed. And supervisor cohen, you indicated that you were submitting, correct . Yes, that is correct. Supervisor farrell. Last week we had a few Affordable Housing deals coming through our ordinance and we all agreed there were too many questions for the developers to afford. I think supervisor kim for getting this together. In addition the Planning Department staff had paired our supervisors. Our staff in this department provided a Financial Analysis of this but maybe im just used to the budget and finance committee but there is no process to verify these financial deals done for ordinance. I commend our staff to do their best to evaluate the ordinance for fiscal impact but i cant consciously make these land use decisions without more analysis of this. I suggest an independent Financial Analysis outside of our city. Whenever we go off of a sound Financial Analysis it makes sense and it also assures that San Francisco is getting the best deal possible but also being very transparent for city hall and what is best for our residents. I look forward to discussion of this ordinance when it comes about in the process. The second item is an obituary and unfortunately i have a few of them that ill be doing in the next few weeks. This is for pete murphy from here in San Francisco. He was a good friend of mine he was born and raised in San Francisco in the lc district. He went to usf for law school. He spent his entire career at tobin and Tobin Law Firm here in San Francisco. He was a very involved several charities and here in San Francisco and he received a Outstanding Award here from catholic charitiesalumni of the year from his school and this is the highest honor that school bestows on everyone. He was loyal to his children and grandchildren at ssi and he was an amazing, amazing person. It is hard to believe that he is gone but i know hes in a better place. He is survived by his wife joanne and their three sons and four grandchildren and his Funeral Services will be thursday morning at the Church Emmanuel Episcopal Church here in sf. Supervisor fewer. I just want to close today mentioning that a sand filled lot will be changed into a gardening plot for kale and lettuce and more which will be harvested by neighbors. Eon supporting a thriving garden edit really contributed to a movement for Community Gardens. This fall fosters a sense of pride and allows us to interact with our Natural Environment and in service to our community land. This dedicated these event to ed hills who contributed to the Community Gardens who have contributed so much to our neighborhoods. My children spent countless hours at the Community Garden and children of the urban garden still use it on a regular basis. Mr. Seagull will be greatly missed. Thank you p where do and not i note that mr. Seagull will be greatly missed. At this time mme. City clerk please read item 3129, Public Comment.

The president or the board may limit the total testimony to 30 minutes.

Thank you. First speaker please. [indecipherable]one must follow the methodologies of understanding and establishment of supreme virtues and opinions. The origin of absolute wisdom applies the nature of absolute wisdom to spread the word of the principle of the corruption in the heart [inaudible] so they can make full recovery of this principle. [indecipherable] for all people of a new century. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please. Thank you, my name is iris marys and im here again to make a Public Comment. No one called to see how my honor was doing. Let me just update you so youre clear. She was removed by her home by your sheriff in a safe manner. She was removed from her home without notice. I had to run and talk to a dispatch operator to find out where she had gone. This is what occurred. Shes not home with me she has no home and she is homeless. I would like you to know that. Her medication is still in her home and sex is not responded to a request. Were still in court so im not sure why your share of mood prematurely but every time zacks get involved her cost increases. So not sure why the citys agencies advance the positions of peter allens. Again, someone needs to be held accountable. It seems like were out here by ourselves and that you are trying tohelp us but thats not the case. The San Francisco Police Department [timer dings] no one has been helpful in this and again, i am asking you for help with this. Her services are tied to her home. It takes for 30 days to ramp these up. I dont know who your sheriff was keeping safe, herself, her staff, or her individual. I think it goes both ways. That was the direction that the judge said but she also did not talk to me and now my aunt is not living in her home. [timer dings] thank youl next speaker please. Good afternoon jeff hackard, i have two items that i would like to speak about first is the librarys amnesty. Libraries amnesty is coming to a close this evening and you will hear reports of how great the results were. We agreed there should not be fees for late books just as it provides for its under age cardholders, that are under the age of 18 currently. This will obscure the harsh and ongoing damage that the routines finds cause to their patrons is an aggressive tax like when you have a fixed fine for a late return and these can add up to a considerable amount just for late return. Is generally understood that libraries that if you need money charge finds that if you want the materials back, do not charge finds. And, this library is incredibly wealthy. [timer dings] not only are there monetary fines but there are consequences if you oh even a penny. If you know fines to one library you cannot borrow books from any other libraries within the Library System and your Library Privileges are crippled. You cannot borrow books or other materials including laptops. [timer dings. Thank you, next speaker please. The degree of fake news is almost total. When i think about the fact that to this day kim, what are you smiling about . Do you disagree with that . When i think to this day most people have no idea that it was an inside job as alex jones said, and it leads me to the firm conclusion that its almost total. And, i thank god that our President Trump called out cnn as fake news. It really is fake news. Its absolutely incredible. It really is. And the audacity of democrats in particular you know, to slander alex jones as he was wrong in saying that Oklahoma City was an inside job when it clearly was, its just incredible. You have the testimony of officer done browning and craig and others that were threatened to be murdered by the fbi if they do not stop the investigation, okay, this is a fact. You know . But i will tell you what, even though there is a lot of fake news out there, when it comes to the Christian Faith it is not a fake religion. [timer dings] when we christians say we have evidence of our faith we are saying that we didnt even know each other because they lived hundreds a years from each other what they prophesied specific prophecies of christ this is why they said what they said. [timer dings] thank you, next speaker please. Tom gilberti, 6 of separation. This is a Government Office of politicians and another Government Office of politicians. Maybe its only 5 here. Last week i said maybe donald should help the American Public to declare bankruptcy if your senior with medical bills or young graduate thats overloaded with that and your job is hopeless or not very good. The bankruptcy worked very well for donald and it could work very well for a lot of other americans. Specialist and secreted new freedoms in the industrys. The Supreme Court. Their questions i would like to ask the Supreme Court democracy did not win. The minority loser one. How does the house of representative across the land have more people voting for one group of people and yet, when they get to the house of majority they are in the minority . And what about the suppression of both and what about [timer dings] after 10 or eight years the people get to vote if we still want you as a Supreme Court justice. A little bit local we have the arville dam that was built to our level of excellence and the same thing we have Treasure Island built to our level of excellence. We dont know what was happening we should be doing better. Thank you. [timer dings] thank you. Next speaker please. Are there any other members of the public thatwould like to provide Public Comment at this time . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Mme. City clerk please read the items for adoption without Committee Reference. Referencethese measures were introduced for adoption without Committee Reference. A unanimous vote is required for adoption of these resolutions today. Any supervisor may require any resolution to goto committee. Questions on the for adoption without Committee Reference agenda are on for adoption, or approved, as indicated. All right lets call these individually. Item 30 is aresolution urging the California State Legislature to amend the revenue and taxation code to enable local california jurisdictions to levy personal and Corporate Income taxes, which the city and county of San Francisco could utilize as a sustained source of funding for transportation and Public Health priorities. Supervisor peskin. Thank you mme. Pres. I want to thank our staff ive circulated a number of amendments i would like to ve them later this week. Okay supervisor task peskin has offered up an amendment to see these items later this week and it seconded by supervisor yee. And supervisor peskin, you realize these will be continued to the next meeting february 28, 2017. Yes maam and with that can we take this item without objection colleagues . The item passes without objection. Mme. City clerk can you read the next item please item 31 isresolution urging the Planning Commission to initiate amendments to the general plans housing and urban Design Elements regarding familyfriendly housing. Thank you mme. Pres. Because to me it we have to define that wide Affordable Housing is because were starting toeever since two or three years ago people are using Family Housing very loosely with no official definition and it would be nice once we push the legislation when were talking about Family Housing and make sure were talking at the same things i want to thank every single colleague for cosponsoring this.
