Ms. Kathy weidner. I believe last week when it was continued the Airport Commission was going to consider the item earlier today , not the waiver, but the lease. I believe it was going to get rid of the two one year options. I just wanted a status report on that from ms. Weiner good afternoon president breed and members of the board Kathy Weidner without Even International airport. This morning and more commission did vote unanimously to amend the proposed lease to remove the tube one year options to extend it ive copies of the resolution for the board and copies for the clerk. Okay supervisor peskin with that, uncomfortable and want to through the president as my appreciation to the airport staff and commission for working with us on this matter. Thank you. Would you like us to review the amendment of first or would you like to move them . We dont have to mend the waiver. The waiver and release of two separate instruments so we dont have to make any changes in the i will deliver those items to the clerk for our records but will take ms. Weidner at her word okay thanks. Supervisor campos i appreciate the amendment that i think makes it better but i still have a problem with the fact that were waiting the competitive bid requirements. I think this should have gone out to bid up to our way, San Francisco establishment to actually have the opportunity to compete and without a going through a competitive process theres no guarantee that we in fact are getting the best deal possible. All point of Competitive Bidding is to let the best deal prevail and thats not happening here. So ill be voting, no. Thank you supervisor campos supervisor cohen i, too, will be voting oh i believe in Competitive Bidding and we need to push the airport to do a competitive bid. Theyve done it before and regional to Diverse Communities get minority warned those misses as well as womenowned business but dont push them to do so they will notthey want not. As we see today a Pilot Program has been in existence for five years but i think that is a symptom of a problem sweetie to prioritize and send a message to the airport staff and to the commission and let them know the board of supervisors is interested in seeing competitive bids to go out. Thank you thank you. Supervisor kim this a slightly separate issue but the conversation about getting other Small Businesses and local businesses opportunity compete. Rings up actually the recent process around come i believe you are van services that assess permits and i know that weve got somewe feel emails to our office complaining that sf drove after many many years this into in its contacts with some of our local small locally owned Airport Shuttle services that used to provide Transportation Services to sfo but no longer will be good i was hoping you could talk a little bit about that because i think this brings into the overall concern the board may have about the ability for mother locally owned businesses to provide services to sfo which of course a big business for any company. Understood. Supervisor kim through the chair, Kathy Weidner with the airport. This morning also at the Airport Commission there was a vote to reject an rfp process and reject all bids on a process that we were trying to do to consolidate some of our doortodoor vans that at the curbs in response to the Community Concerns over the Small Companies. The now canceled that rfp process. We are going to cancel the permits that all the companies of operated the airport currently hold in the issue to all the companies that currently operate at the airport a permit that has some of the Customer Service standards we were hoping to achieve to the rfp. We believe that we have come to a place where we can get some of the improves quality standards we were looking for as well as maintaining the Small Companies presence in their ability to operate at the airport. I appreciate you explaining the issues on both sides. Im its actually great to hear this concept at some resolution on keeping our smaller shuttle doortodoor service monies that are here locally and hire locally to continue to provide services to sfo while also i guess improving the quality of service which was a concern of the airport. Im glad to see that move forward this morning as well. Thank you. Thank you. Seeing no other names on the roster nay mdm. Clerk on the names mr. Buhler john gibner nert. The board actually should amend the ordinance today to reflect the changes on the lead term. Ms. Weidner has given me a copy but essentially its Commission Adopted a new resolution and that the lease will not be a threeyear term without the two options. Thank you.

Supervisor avalos thank you president breed colleagues come i like to thank you for considering this resolution. I been working on this issue, the watershed on the peninsula including axes there for about 2. 5 years now. Weve had two hearings at the board of supervisors could ive got to do on down to visit this item number of times. With the community needing down in the peninsula and what you have before us is a resolution urging the Public Utilities commission to do exactly what they been doing for two years. Ultimately, i would like to see that we have greater access on the peninsula. Right now theres a dosing program you have to reserve space to walk along the pathways in the peninsula watershed area. There are some places that have limited access good that can go from one into the other. But this is actually supreme public land. This is a land that is owned by the city and county of San Francisco. By the Public Utilities commission. Its also when thats available for people who take the Drinking Water from christmas springs water and San Mateo County of this land belongs to all of us and i think i think this land is actually sorely underutilized in the way that we can create a greater understanding of what is their terms of the four and, in terms of what we have for our water system thats there in watershed that serves it as well. We bring in water from hetch hetchy to Crystal Springs. And that makes it super important but its also important to note that even in use at many where we have our Hetch Hetchy Reservoir the source of our water is not hetch hetchy. It is actually further up about 40 miles into the watershed. That is an area that has tremendous amount of people coming in every day, some without permits, some under a quota system and the land is actually pristine. The water we drink from there is in Great Condition to actually create a similar but limited system for people to access in the Crystal Springs watershed area and peninsula watershed is not to create devastating impacts as people are saying. I think when it comes to our work around entire mental regulation its really important that we are looking at how economic interests take over our environment and destroy our environment to disrupt our environment. Climate change being the most supreme example of that. But access to people who will be on foot and possibly on by, into this area does not cause the same level of alarm and should not cause the same level of alarm has industry moving in. I would like to think that the Public Utilities commission could work with the park system is golden gate recreation ctr. , San Mateo Park system down there as well to create the program where people can have no access in the Crystal Springs watershed wraps under a quarter system but access that would be unaccompanied. That, to me would give people the sense of solitude that would allow them to really appreciate what is down there. That currently is really cut off from the public. I believe that our environment to work should also be about Public Access public education. I know that the way that politics seems to be aligning on this that this measure might not pass. So actually i dont think it has to. I think what the Public Utilities commission is already done, what theyve committed to exploring is already addressed in this resolution. Therefore i really dont think you need to be voted on. I motion that we table this resolution and go on to the next item. Second supervisor [inaudible] us otto is made a motion to table. Clerk please take roll call seconded by peskin abag good on a motion to table not to table. Breed aye koppel aye cohen aye farrell aye kim aye mar aye peskin aye tang aye weiner nay yee aye avalos aye there are 10 aye and one nay with supervisor weiner in the design the was this item has been tabled [gavel] next item please item 25 is a ordinance woman the planning code but revising the zoning map to rezone all lot numbers listed on the current designation as residential house one family to residential house one family, detached loans and to work with buys zone map for access souls part 2640 3b lot number eight from its current designation as public to rhwendy and plan the sql determination make the appropriate findings. Rollcall vote item 25, supervisor breed aye campos cohen aye farrell aye kim aye mar aye peskin aye tang aye weiner aye jan east aye avalos aye there are 11 aye the ordinances finally passes unanimously [gavel] lets go to new business. Item 26 is a ordinance to amend the mens fate of code require prevailing wages in city contracts for Security Guard services for such services at certain events on City Property to amend the police go to make technical clarifications regarding worker retention requirements for Security Guards. Supervisor kim thank you president breed today im seeking your support on a ordinance there were establishing prevailing wage in city contractor Security Guard services. Which will require rebellion wages to be paid for Security Guard service that certain copy of events on City Property. Weve also proposed a amendment to the police go and make a technical clarification regarding worker retention requirements for Security Guards. Presently there is no prevailing Wage Ordinance covered inSecurity Guard services. The bureau of labour statistics reported in 2015 there are over 1 million sick 30 guards in the us. 151,000 of whom work in california. Everyday Security Guards worked to protect our communities businesses. It is a growing and diverse job industry. Africanamericans are 11 of suit San Franciscos workforce but up 25 of the citys Security Guards. Unfortunately without a prevailing wage this workers have been vulnerable. While many unionize should 30 workers make in excess of the 60 master contracts with the city awaits that includes healthcare and paid sick days, nonunionized Security Guards contacted the city received only 13. 34 per hour. For the minimum conversation ordinance which is below the nationally hourly wage of 50. 34. A nonunion sick 30 guards not received paid sick days and do not receive healthcare. Theres no protection against having their wages cut in order to win the city contractor no security for their family were themselves should they fall ill. Setting a prevailing wage will prove quality of service as was the quality of life of our security workers by ensuring these workers receive dignified wage and Fringe Benefits batching equivalent for private work. We set prevailing wages for certain types of works connected with City Property including janitorial services, parking garage attendant, theatrical Worker Services and tradeshow and special event work. Although the city relies on its security workers to ensure his assets remain safe, we fail to protect the Econo
