and raymond kong and brian doll and thank you and welcome. >> good afternoon, supervisors. victoria chen with capital finance san francisco public works. >> my apologies. >> that's all right. for your consideration and approval today is a resolution to certify a list of street resurfacing projects that will be funded by fiscal year 2022-23 road maintenance and rehabilitation account funds to which from this point already i'll refer to as rmra funds. some background on these funds, which were distributed annually on a formulate basis to california cities and counties and from sb1 and the road repair and accountability act of 2017. and as part of their accountability and transparency provisions to implement the funds, the california transportation commission or ctc requires adoption of an annual project list prior to cities and counties receiving these funds. san francisco public works street resurfacing program has identified six projects before you to receive next year's rmra funds which includes 216 blocks throughout san francisco. attached to the resolution is the project list including those 216 specific identified blocks. all of thee projects are currently in the design phase and expected to be advertised for construction this calender year or the first half of 2023. other supplemental materials provided including maps with the blocks to be repaved with a legend indicating which are supported by rmra funds and blocks to be funded by other sources for our program. and as supervisor melgar mentioned i'm joined today by other members of the street resurfacing program and collectively we're happy to take any questions. >> it doesn't look like we have questions from any of my colleagues. ms. chan, if you could just talk about how the street repaving projects are selected before they put out to rsp? >> >> sure, are you referring to selection criteria and programmatically, we typically look at several factors including mainly the pci score of the segment as well as whether that segment is on a multi modal route. i mean, we're looking at projects that includes and effect major stakeholders like if they're on transit route or bicycle routes and how busy those streets are. we also look at project readiness and whether we have to coordinate with other city agencies or utility companies. say getting utility clearance and if there's sewer work to be done and so that is scheduled will be dependent on that work. and of course, we look at equitable distribution across the city and it's pretty much a very longitudinal view over time whether we need to address a certain block at a certain time. and whether there are any public inquiries about a particular segment. and lastly i want to mention, this is one funding source for the street resurfacing program so there can be restrictions to other sources so that also needs to play into the consideration for whether a block is going to be repaved in a particular year. >> that makes sense, thank you so much ms. chan. with that madam clerk, let's go to public comment on this item. >> thank you, madam chair. are there any members that would like to speak on item number 1? no. any members that would like to speak on the line press star 3 and we'll see that you have raised your stand. for those on hold, please continue to wait until the system indicates that you have been unmuted and you may begin your comments. we have six listeners with one in the queue. unmute the first person, please. >> caller: good afternoon. so a couple of quick comments. i think the references here on the list are to the old super advisor y'all districts was the lists were created prior to april 28th. i was going to ask about the context and pms or pci scores and it was covered. i was going to ask about pavement methods by segment but i did find that buried in one of the charts so i'm trying to pull that up. it says that the works scope for that project includes grind and pave for various blocks so it looks like they're all grind and paved as opposed to reconstruction or the various types of pavement methods but i've got that information and i was going to mention criticality and need and pci score versus geographic equity and it seems that there is some geographic distribution which is fine, but generally the streets that get more use and get banged up more, should get pavement resources and although there's some distribution, in terms of geography it should be based on need in my view. i do agree that there should be for dinnation with mta puc and other agencies. i was going to ask if this was discussed. i don't believe this was discussed at capital planning or if it's in the capital plan, caltrans segment like east of skyline or excluded i think and that is proper the segment on slow is west of skyline and any any event, i may follow up with appropriate dpw staff and this is a good list and i suppose tort and thank you for listening. >> thank you for your comments. that completes the queue. >> thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, can we have a motion to send this out with a positive recommendation, please? >> thank you. madam clerk,. >> clerk: on that motion, supervisor peskin. aye. >> supervisor preston. >> aye. >> supervisor melgar. >> aye. >> you have three ayes. >> thank you, that motion passes. madam clerk, please call item number 2. >> clerk: a resolution changing the street name of sonora bain to vicha ratanapakdee way. call (415)655-0001 and the meeting i.d. is 24971671345 and press pound and pound again if you have not done so already and would like to speak on item number 2, here is your opportunity to press star 3 and the system will indicate you have raised your hands in confirmation. >> thank you, madam clerk. we are now joined by dominica donovan, legislative aid to catherine stefani the sponsor of this legislation. welcome ms. donovan. >> thank you chair and good afternoon members. the item before you is the final resolution

you, chair melgar and good afternoon supervisors. here on behalf of supervisor mandelman. the item before i is a resolution to initiate an amendment to the historic landmark designation for the castro theater. the castro is a beloved san francisco landmark that's been owned and operated as a movie palace and performance venue by the nassar family since it was built in 1922. earlier this year, we learned that the family would be handing over operations of the theater to another planet and entertainment and it's a company with the auditorium and the independent here in san francisco and the historic fox theater in oakland and this announcement did catch the castro community by surprise and raised a range of concerns with the restoration work and physical alteration to accommodate a wider range of performances, programming changes and what the potential impact could be of changes on the theater's role as a anchor cultural institution and the lgbtq community. the theater if you have been in need of overdue thc to restore the building to its original glory and ensure it's continued operations. at the same time, the community has a clear interest in ensuring the preservation of the things that have made this place special especially in the queer community. while the castro was designated as a local historic landmark under art 10 in 1977, the current landmark designation focuses on the building's exterior. and does not specifically cover the interior features or cultural significance included. it's been clear the significance of this space extends well beyond the spanish revival facade and iconic marque and i present an opportunity to revisit that landmark designation. accordingly, supervisor mandelman introduced this resolution earlier this month to direct planning commission and historic preservation to report back to the board with any updates to the designation that may be appropriate to capture the full historical and cultural significance of the theater. while the alteration of restoration plans that another planet has submitted will already trigger review by the historic preservation commission it's the supervisor's intention this update to the landmark will inform the commission's review of those plans and also ensuring this iconic police that will celebrate its centennial next month will be appropriately preserved and maintain to continue welcoming and serving the community for another 100 years. with that supervisors, i believe we're joined by planning department staff for any questions you may have and of course, i'll be available as well. thank you so much for your consideration. >> thank you, very much. we have alex westhoff here from the planning department if anyone has questions. supervisor peskin. >> thank you, chair melgar and thank you to mr. bentless and supervisor mandelman. i am happy and would like to add my name as a co-sponsor and then i had one question as to the resolve, which is that -- this maybe is just a wordsmithing things and its we are requesting that the department, the planning department plan a landmark report that considers the full historical architecture and anesthetic interest of the castro that ther and it doesn't use the words including the interior. i assume by reference full includes interior but if it would be acceptable to the maker, i would suggest adding the words "including but not limited to the interior." thank you. for clarity were you suggesting town conclude that after the full historical architectural anesthetic and cultural interest comma, yeah. [laughter] including but not the interior. >> ok. >> and we will work with the clerk's office of city attorney to make it's includessed. >> i see city pearson nodding her head in confirmation of her understanding. >> that's right. that would not be a substantive amendment. >> we did conclude a request for this to be sent out today so, i don't believe that cause -- >> after public comment i will normally make that. >> thank you so much. >> thank you supervisor peskin. with no other questions, let's go to public comment. >> clerk: are there any members of the public that would like to speak. approach the podium. you have two minutes. go ahead. >> thank you. >> hello my name is john goldsmith i'm a 30-year san francisco resident and i lived in the castro and i approve and support this amendment to landmark the castro theater inside and outside. in particular and more specifically i would not like to see the interior flattened so it could facilitate multi-stages and different types of music venues. it's a movie palace and it has seating designed for the viewers and i think it's an important part of the association of this and the experience n addition, in adjacently, across the street, i have asked today for this committee to initiate landmark designation for the castro station and the 2400 block on market at castro street and it's 50-years-old and the flag pole there is 25-years-old and the trees are 25-years-old and those are the requirements to reach landmark status n-2018 myself and neighbors co applied in co submitted two street park applications to mr. mohammad nuru of public works and drew decter of sparks alliance and those two street park applications were for harvey's garden grove and we have 1800 signatures and we believe it's a culturally significant and environmentally significant as asset that should be landmark not send particular to sand fill and we will not be replaced. please see our website save harvey milk plaza for more information. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. are there any other members who would like to speak on this item? >> hello, i'm mary with another planet entertainment. and i would like to start with thank you for your time and considering this issue. this is been collaborative working with supervisor mandelman office and we were supportive of additional landmark designations for the astro theaters. we have been working for over a year with historic preservation architects, page in turnbull and they've brought onboarding supervisor called ever green which does fine art restoration and we have a very significant plan in place to repair damage that was done to the plaster ceiling in 1989 to restore the art work that is flanking the stage and make structural improvements to the blades signs and the marque which are located outside. it's always been our intention to alter the space in a way that can be reversed so our plan allowing for additional ada access and the ability to one a proper hvac system through the theater would be placed over the existing concrete floor so nothing would be changed so it's our intention to go in and do some the deferred maintenance happening, upgrade electrical and it makes the theater safe and welcoming for events of all types moving forward. >> thank you for your comments and any other members if you would like to speak, please approach. we're moving on to our public call-in line. if you would like to speak, it looks like we have nine listeners and eight listensers today let's take the first caller. >> good afternoon, land use and transportation committee members my name is steven cor his of the cultural district advisory board and i would like to add my support of the resolution for landmark designation amendment to the castro theaters landmark number 100 which is turning 100 this june and as outlined in our directing owned city ordinance highlighting and advocating for electric see and something we feel strong about on this issue and although the current designation language is important in pioneering, it leads to ambiguous in regard to the presser vase aspect and thriving legacy and intangible which makes this place so figure to our community and it's still in full effect and submitted applications for renovations and it would change them and the primary use and significance of this venue please support this legacy career space by approving the resolution, thank you for your time. >> take the next caller, please. >> please, go ahead. >> great, it's david pillpal this is my second and last comment for the day. i'm speaking in support of this hand mark if there was a structure in the city that is a landmark, it's a landmark and or it's use and the way it was described by another planet representative or other types of changes to its structure or use and it should be reviewed and if appropriate approved and if not appropriate, rejected and in some cases, and all who enjoy it i strongly support this action and thank you for listening. >> thank you for your comments. let's take the next caller. please. >> caller: hello, my name is (inaudible) for the castro lgbt cultural strict. thank you for considering the initiation of a landmark designation amendment of the castro theater as sponsored by supervisor mandelman. a cultural directing strongly supports this resolution. a cultural directing is committed to preserving, sustaining and promoting the legacy of the castro and its significance to san francisco's lgbtq plus community. and beyond. our goals a
