Thank you supervisor tang supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president i rise to once again express my concern over the general plan amendment that is before us in the subject of this item which as ive stated at the previous members of the committee i believe was constructed in a much too broad fashion vote down the general plan i understand the Planning Commission will meet this thursday to make findings on items 17 which is not called id like to acknowledge and appreciate the amendments that supervisor tang has made to that item that notwithstanding i believe that we should have a narrowly twarltd general plan not giving the department vast power to subject to future zoning rezoning parts of city that will urge a no vote on this item. Thank you supervisor peskin supervisor wiener. Thank you the president of the information is item 15 is rejected is item 17 mute or discussed and vote on item 17. Mr. Gibner. John gibner, deputy City Attorney. You can still discuss item 17 if item 15 fails but the board cannot pass item 17 until the Planning Commission either recommends a new amendment to the general plan or makes iventhd this 17 is consistent with the continuing it or send it back to committee. Ill speak to this item 15 but item 17 maybe mute but i support item 15 as the general plan amendment and thank you supervisor tang for her leadership on this issue it is not often in at least San Francisco history that a weddings supervisor has stepped up in a mooeveng way to foster legislation that will significantly move the dial in terms of Housing Production in San Francisco and production of Affordable Housing at no cost to the taxpayers so this is a big step forward i want to thank supervisor tang and shes taken a lot of shrinks and arrows around this a fair amount of misinformation and supervisor tang has listened and made good a amendments including prohibiting demolition of existing housing which is a southern for a lot of us including supervisor tang she corrected this thats a good thing not demolishing existing housing i know there are you know a lot of different views about this legislation but at some point we either acknowledge we need more housing of all types of including Affordable Housing or we dont we can sit here and have a lot of condemnation and protests and be upset that the average rent if San Francisco is 3,500 a month or do something about this program not a Global Solution but the same thing is a significant piece of paper the Affordable Housing bonus plan will allow us to create sixth more housing in a way that is spread out not concentrated in a few areas in a way that will create significant thousands and thousands of units of belowmarketrate housing at no cost to the taxpayer this is a good step we should take it and with respect to item 17 which will be called but caught up in female 15 supervisor tang shows what she brings to the board 100 percent housing to make it easier to build 100 percent Affordable Housing to have a plot of land were building Affordable Housing well you go heroin higher to take advantage to build more Affordable Housing we should be passing this this is unfortunate there is so much opposition but at some point we have to decide are we upset about the cost of housing or do something about if it we do something about this is important step for us to take we should take it. Thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor mar thank you. I wanted to echo some of the points by supervisor peskin but i want to thank commissioner chung for bringing this forward for supporting the 100 percent part of Affordable Housing Bonus Program but the density done right that supervisor peskin and and a coalition of housing organizations but thank you to emery rogers for calendaring this item i think this is critical that were close to finding a measure we can have anonymous support i dont want to see a divided vote ill urge the continuous until july 12th toe give two weeks to work out the issues 0 is united but thank you. The Mayors Office of housing and others to try to intervene we move Forward Together i dont think a motion was made but id like to see more time to find the unit between the 100 percent Affordable Housing thank you supervisor tang question there are no thoroughly to supervisor mar are you talking about the general plan amendment or item 17. Item 15 to continue the general plan amendment until youre next meeting july 12th. I mean for full disclosure a 90 day clock tick if we dont take action it is deemed approves unions my colleague will be okay with that, i would be. Supervisor tang are you finished. Supervisor peskin. If i may through the president to supervisor mar suggest there are a couple of pathways this could go down and quite frankly if the general plan amendment were changed to reflect the subject and the policy and item 17 id be fine but commissioner chung said it is an up and down voted we cant under the charter make the amendments i have language i can amend it but dont have this power so the Planning Commission can make consistency finding on their agenda for this thursday in the absence of our voting this particular amendment down it will become law by operation of law on july 6th thank you.

Supervisor tang you. Given weve failed the adjoin plan amendments i want to do for item 17 if mr. Cooper pass out the amendments before you as supervisor peskin mentioned we have an item calendared on the Planning Commission this thursday the Planning Commission make consistency for the Affordable Housing bonus plan 100 Percent Program with our existing general plan the only portion that is techno in conformation with the general plan is the northeast waterfront area plan south of central line of broadway so to insure this is really a technical change here to remove that portion from our Affordable Housing Bonus Program 100 Percent Program we have to make that amendment today which is passed out and then secondly, i would say that you know even though there is potentially passed forward given the Planning Commission can make a direction on thursday at this commission i want to emphasize how important for us to pass item 17 out before we enter legislative recess as Mayors Office of housing mentioned last week ill ask they come up with some of the updated numbers there are Affordable Housing projects in the pipeline which if we were able to use our local density Bonus Program could yield but many units of Affordable Housing and chart to demonstrate it id like to ask kate hartley from the Mayors Office of housing to go over this information with us. Good afternoon, supervisors kate hartley Mayors Office of housing you see before you a chart this shows the current zoning and approximate number of Additional Units that could be yielded with a density Bonus Program we talked about last week numbers that would be finally determined if we have descended bonus tool in the outreach that the Mayors Office of housing always requires for partners with the community with shareholders to make sure that the buildings that we finance are sponsored are done in a collaborative way that reflect the context and the neighborhood character and also meets the needs of low income people that spelling need Affordable Housing we strive to highest would the between building as many units as we possibly can and building high quality buildings with great Architecture Design so the units that you see the building before you are immediate projects in the pipeline are the density Bonus Program theyll yield 200 Additional Units those are two hundreds spelling needed units and on a project by project basis we again will be working with the community and stakeholders to get the right unit count but the Affordable Housing bonus plan is an important tool that will help us do our job. Supervisor tang. Thank you and then youll see from the chart here as well in our legislation passes before recess there are 3 projects in the pipeline where an entitlement decision has been rendered and will be fall of 2016 that adds all the way down one and 8 units you using the density Bonus Program in the winter potential another 16 Additional Units added and in the spring an additional 35 colleagues, i ask we adopt this amendment to repeat it is to remove the northeast waterfront area plan south of the central broadway and as amended continue item 17 until our july 12th board of supervisors meeting.

Thank you supervisor breed so i know the rules committee put this forward to the board with a recommendation of do not pass and i understand why the recommendation happened i respect it i respective the City Attorneys position and my colleagues in terms of what the landscape of case has changed with the passing of blood die l dieseler ohio in refusing this ill be supporting this settlement i think when we enter into a settlement it has to mean something ill be voting yes today. Supervisor campos thank you madam president i have to say this is one of those issues that it is not an easy one in terms of where this is and one of the questions that i have because i want to make sure that there is also a differs to the City Attorney is if open toe a continuous clearly circumstances have changed but arguments to be made to make sure the city do the right thing not only by the peplaintiff someone that has a passed didnt mean we still dont have an obligation to do the right thing in that spirit to give both sides an opportunity to have further discussions that id like to make a motion to continue this item i dont know what the appropriate amount of time will be supervisor campos if you dont mind before we then this particular item i want to be clear a number of things weve talked about in closed session that unfortunately, we will not be able to talk about today in the chamber i definitely think a continuance is in order and every single one of you to connect with the City Attorney to understand what transpired and the committee made this recommendation with that, supervisor avalos before we allow you to make your motion i will allow supervisor cowen to make comments. Thank you madam president i guess somewhat answered my question during any time i sat on the gao in closed session this matter was dealt with in closed session to significant data the information were not privy good supervisor wiener that came out with a strong in support of this or i guess and i a pay out of the settlement im curious to know what you know that i dont know and why youre you know going to go against the recommendation of the committee members. Supervisor wiener. I dont know that i know anything that you dont know this gentleman between the time of settlement and presentation of the board passed away and so that you know alternates from a legal perspective in terms of the facts of the case and but i just to me the settlement was agreed to and not binding until this board approvals it but prepared to support the gentleman i dont know any facts i doubt i know any facts as you supervisor cowen. Im happy to support the continuance. Supervisor peskin if i may to supervisor campos at a friendly amendment we sleld a closed session of full board to collectively hear amongst this body what we will discuss and hear in closed session at the gao. Ill definitely support that supervisor campos. Thank you madam president so colleagues my motion will be to continue this item to the meeting of july 12th with an understanding that prior to a vote at that meeting a closed session held to have a closed session discussion and without really thats a motion without delving into the specification i think where ill sort say i. I actually agree with supervisor wiener has a general rule that once the settlement is done that even if there are different circumstances you want to generally support the settlement but out of different republicans to the my hope between the time this comes back to the board an argument between the parties we can all support so with that, i make the motion to continue to july 12th. With a scheduled closed session on the matter at the full board seconded by supervisor wiener and before we approve that stuns i want to express to my colleagues supervisor peskin and he and i sits on g a organization with differences of opinion and passed this out amounting comedy and there is definitely a reason brown behind that well discuss in closed session. Supervisor wiener an additional commitment comment. Im happy to support it in closed session additional millionaire parties can workout something ill support that you know, i think i wrote the settlement and recommended 9 board of supervisors approve the settlement tort related claim i know is a deputy City Attorney my role to give my best advise approving or disapproving we can vote for or against any settlement so obviously the utmost respect for mayor colleagues and has nothing to do with not critical of their position i completely i get it why they would take this position extremely reasonable but we play a different role as clients deciding whether to pay a settlement. Thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor yee. I want to states for the record at the last rules committee it was i was not in the attendance because a as a gao committee. Yes.

Thank you supervisor mar supervisor peskin. Thank you, madam clerk colleagues aau as you know this body has lengthy conversation though to talk about the homelessness and easy the surviving of our fellow san franciscans that find themselves without a safe place to sleep and assess services or even use bathrooms when i was on the board of supervisors many discusses and those discussions continue our 2015 Homeless Count 70 percent of our homeless were previously housed 90 in San Francisco at the they become homeless and the two tops were eviction and divorce there is one shelter bed for every 5 and a half people we have 8 hundred people waiting for shelter will kevin did a study it talked about the homeless here in california starting from the fallout of vietnam war and the shameful treatment to the veterans to the gutting of our fellow social programs under 01980s reagan despite the memorial including the magical and mayor newsom carry not cash thousands suffer on the street earlier this month our legislative analyst were spending over 20 Million Dollars to cite homeless for quality of life under the ordinance and yet ours own laws are not decreasing the number of homeless open our streets we all know those facts and figures not a new resolution and not solved by creating more programs that attempt to solve homelessness im delighted weve come together today on the second reading to create a department of homelessness to stop this isolation between the departments and to fully implement a Housing First policy that prioritize wrap around services and transitioning the residents into permanently Affordable Housing we need housing that is affordable and assessable today im asking for support to put people before politics in a compassionate and proactive solution rather than divisive and more failed policies weve been working to get the department of homelessness off the ground i think that is critical that we enable and impervious our new director who brings his years of experience if the homeless and chp we all know cares deeply aboute. Homelessness we need to give him an opportunity to do his job we all work we all agreed to delay supervisor campos legislation so the gentleman can work with him needed amendments made to speak with one voice and not turn homelessness into a applies issue we reserve money for the department of homelessness to the tune of over 11 million and over 47 million in the following fiscal year and the gentleman has given little hire process for staff and we just opened under mayor ed lees leadership a new Navigation Center in the civically E Civic Center and povpt and his in the long run agency has a host of recommendations how we should address homelessness encampments we dont meet a 24th allow alu in the piece of the San Francisco examiner to try to brej that but work togethertology solve homelessness by commenting proactive policies today im introducing a resolution this is a separate subject in response to the public works solicitation for Public Comment on criminal background checks for socalled transportation like uber and lyft and other companies the cpuc has attempted to look at the safety risks and make sure the safety of the public is not commodity and the resolution im introducing support that call to Public Safety under the cutters Regulatory Regime the city and county of San Francisco regulates the traditional taxicab but the cpuc asserts its jurisdiction over the tmcs this an uneven two teetered system to the detriment and indeed to the detriment of the Public Welfare we know a broad consensus among Law Enforcement that fingertip basis background checks are the Gold Standard and the background checks used by uber and lyft has missed serious conviction we here tmc drivers shouldnt be open the road in many instance those crimes could be presented by adequate background checks that is indicative of a two tiered regulatory between taxicabs and tmcs is any competitive and unfair and even though the regulations that we placed on Taxi Companies including maneuvered Workers Compensation are truly common sense registrations but dont employ to tmcs the resolution im introducing supports putting tmcs on the same level the Playing Field with respect to background checks fingerprinting is the best method and the only way to hold tmcs like uber and lyft to the same standards as taxis the rest i submit. Thank you supervisor peskin. Supervisor wiener. Supervisor yee. Thank you, madam clerk colleagues for the past several years grown toirdz of hearing about the care of trees so today ill be submitting legislation to take back the trees i received calls on a daily basis if angry constituents that are meant by fines or to care for trees not previously responsible for everyone seems to love trees until thai they have to maintain them it is a camp for the university we have to agree on one thing we should take care of our street trees i want to acknowledge the effort from friends of urban forest and supervisors that worked on creating an urban forestry plan for San Francisco while a number of tree measures are making their way to the November Ballot i am being asked time and time again by constituents why cant this happen sooner why did it take an election to overturn the decisions to be changed at the board of supervisors today, im proposing a very simple ordinance to echo that very sentiment the city of San Francisco should and low take back the responsibility of caring for strrz care for our street trees should be a basic city service during the recession the city reduces the funding in order to save on the Critical Services it was the right decision to make then but in retrofit it costs us we are now living through the negative consequences of tree Relinquishment Program and in addition to the frustration of Property Owners we end up with a weakened urban forest with trees killed you think maintained and damage from poor care we cant reverse what is done but can take responsibility for what the public directed us to do what our taxpayers expects us to do i find it disappointing were more and more riling on private citizens and every time we find ourselves with a difficult decision were grown accustomed to have more taxed to cover what the city should be prioritizing were not making it easy for workingclass and middleincome families to stay in San Francisco regardless on the ballot we can do this now if trees are a priority of constituents and the city lets make it happen for now we can find solutions until a long term funding stream is determined the people have already spoken lets take back the trees so thats one item that im submitting and the second item im submitting i cant i think we all agree that car breakins and burglars are a problem and in my district the number one issue i hear at every community meanwhile e meeting weve held to hearings at the board of supervisors on this very topic there was many reports on auto breakins in the city when was embarrassing featured in a National Publication the in ability to curve property crimes and residents and tourists had enough for the past year working with the Community Members local champions and sfpd short time and have long term strategies reduce property crime and invest in more resources to have prevention and the San Francisco Police Department thats why im perplexed that an Initiative Ordinance was submitted for other November Ballot to address property crimes through the units of the San Francisco Police Department the residents of San Francisco have all right spoken loud and clear will this issue we dont need to go to the ballot box to have a dedicated unit or to provide property crimes for focused attention the ballot proposal cant be amended or changed the proposals does not have time to be vetted or discussed this is a real disservice to the san franciscans i believe that having a centralized units on property crimes with the San Francisco Police Department is can be helpful but concerned with what that means to the local precincts im concerned about whether this will be the most efficient and effective medal method to address the property crimes nothing can be changed on this ballot we can push for Something Better here and now id like to propose a way for us to come together those are issues that what about made and board of supervisors not the ballot box ours protective process provides us with the opportunity to engage with stakeholders and Community Leaders and the San Francisco Police Department to create something that can work the version im submit today is the same version that was submitted to the department of the elections word for word this is a starting point to work on something we can all support i look forward to working with you to you think if any, to a sensible thoughtful solution the rest i submit.

Anyone wish to comment on item number seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Lets go back to items 29 and thirty representative if dpw again, i want to reiterate that the sidewalk inspection and repair program has issued over 30 thousand plus invoices and 2 thousand plus or 88 percent have been if the past year for the representatives that presented 3 were about invoiced we reevaluated the bills to the Property Owner one constituents didnt receive the invoice we will email and advise them to pay by july 8th and four will be placed on payments insult will plans work with the Property Owner for an appropriate payment plan not on the property tax additional 9 were quality issues well have the inspector and contractor followup and correct in regards to 2179, 12 avenue requesting for the sidewalk inspection and repair original hearing ruling from the hearing officer he is still disputing the damage that was caused by privately maintained tree on his property we investigate and research this matter in regards to coal mine street of the repair costs of 5 hundred plus placed on their property tax for the total including do 12 administrative fee under state highway and local public works code the fronting Property Owner is responsible for the repair and maintenance of the sidewalk fronting their property this is the second board of supervisors and still refusing to pay for the work i ask the board of supervisors vote no favor of adding the repair costs to the partitioning in the amount off 5 hundred plus. Can you can you talk a little bit about the quality of work and what is your procedure when the work is done it didnt net not up to standards do you go back . Do you precipitate was the plan here. We do have a our inspector does a walk with the contractor that is the first time the property repairs are looked at after that we dont go back to look it, it is kind of on the Property Owner to contact us if theyre cracks or problems with the work that was done and. In some cases if thai may not have received a notice and the work gets done they receive a bill that is the first time or that theyve been made aware how does that work. Well, we get our information if the Assessors Office if their address is not updated with the assessor then thats the address we send to so in terms of that we excuse me not only do we. Judy can you identify the department. Public works. Okay San Francisco public works. Thanks. Not only notify them through the tax assessors organized address but post into the building itself so they get two notifications. Okay the other question i had was the issue around sidewalks and trees is a real problematic issue and how is that dealt with for example, if it is a tree that is not necessarily located tree roots that are not on the Property Owners property but the sidewalks is damaged as a result of that tree it is still their responsibility to deal with the sidewalk damage . I believe that falls on the owner of the tree so if it is the neighboring unit that owns the tree that will be their responsibility to fix the damage. And what is your policy to deal with protecting residents. We have what we call the sidewalk nuisance Assistance Program it is we receive the invoice they can contact us protecting and theyll, mranls placed on a sorry planned on the property tax and paid over 5 years. Okay. So for example, if the case of someone that is elderly owns the property only gets searches and seizures and no income can barely take care of their property they pay their annual praushgs what we we talking about over the course of 5 years year potentially like an example this costs in education or additions to what theyre paying in property tax. Traditionally the average Square Footage or the cost is around maybe 500 to one thousand dollars that included that the 12 administrative fee and over time years that will amount to maybe like i would say 200 per property tax. Per year. For 5 years. Yes. Thats a lot more than potentially the 500 this is an additional couple of hundreds dollars that someone is protecting has to pay because over 5 years. A thats correct. It doesnt sounds like a good use Hardship Program for protecting that is a lot of extra money to pay i guessed im trying to understand what the why is it that someone low income has to pay more i get it you take out a loan but this is for hardship. And we also, we do try to work with the Property Owner and as christen alluded to 3 pertains that are going to pay in installment plan we can work with the praurnz an insult plan with the administrative fee. No, if theyll pay installment plan not paying the administrative fee of 12 percent. But if they put it on the property tax over the course of 5 years have a pay an administrative fee. Thats correct. What do you mean within a year time. Keep that one a year not coming to the board of supervisors year after year. Can you give me examples of type of persons were talking about for example, the one woman that was here speaking on behalf of her mother that kind of situation im mostly concerned about. What weve done well actually talk to her and found out what she can pay off over the course of a year. The sidewalk in front of her home. Damaged by a tree or just damaged. I dont know. I i dont have the details of her particular property at this time. Okay. And i think im going to led any colleagues ask a couple of questions and if i have some ill come back to you. Supervisor wiener. Thank you to the department you might not know this off the top of your head terms in terms of the sidewalk damage you do know what percentage tree relayed. I dont have that detailed but i do know for this fiscal year and over the next two years we are working on sidewalk mentioning tree areas so im not sure of the percentage but can found out in terms of sidewalk damage in San Francisco pretty High Percentage is tree related. Uhhuh. Is that your understanding too. That is the correct understanding correct. Would there be any reason for f this sidewalk damage different from the general proportion anything unique about this this will be different than the general i think facts that the bulk of sidewalk damage is tree related. This year one of of our goals to actually look at a lot of tree related areas around the city and county of San Francisco so do you believe that the unbelievab of those. Ill have to do research. It seems like what youre saying it is probable those locations of damage the sidewalk are probable consistent with the general fact the bulk of the sidewalk damage is tree related any reason to think this is different. I will concluded this is feasible. Okay so colleagues, we i want to use this opportunity to plug and fix this problem it is absurd the Property Owners have to pay for the sidewalk and the trees and pay for a property that is not theirs they may not have planted the trees any financial or physical ability to take care of the tree or fix the sidewalk and there expected to do so i agree with supervisor yee introduced legislation before to go basically repeal and im supportive of that the challenge the cost of the city taking that back is almost 20 million a year and so you know, i know well be having discussions in the board about the measure that supervisor mar and i have put forward with the friends of urban forest to do a ballot measure to take back the tree and tree related sidewalk damage and pay for it and create dedicated funding otherwise if we take back the trees and the sidewalk and damage were going to have to find 20 million in the budget ill bet my lunch will that will not happen they dont do well, in the budget over and over again so i would love to vote against this i philanthropical low dont agree but taking it back and putting your money where your mouth is we put out the budget and none pushed for the 20 million for dpw inform allow them to take back the trees and sidewalk so far as i know but once again trees and sidewalks were not you know even on the list let alone in the upper portion of list lets fix this problem lets fix it with the funding mechanism that is dedicated so we can move on and not have to deal with those hearings it is ridiculous thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president there are any number of different lean and taxed that come to the body one procedural question why these sidewalk tax bills have been broke down over a couple of weeks is there a reason for that . This is the second hearing on this in a relatively short period of time. The first one is a separate program a accelerated Abatement Program how we describe it operationally is this one is a reactive problem and the sidewalk repair podium which were talking about is more of the proactive program. In terms of in the police radio active program the city inspects the program when people complain correct. Seems like they can be consolidated in one hearing that neither here more there but 200 on the paper percentage wise like a lot more complainant than we normally see in those kinds of hearing i appreciate the city is aggressive about fixing our sidewalks i understand that there are issues relative to cost of homeowners but i get e get disturbed when i hear the gentleman had been trying to prove repeated he accomplished the repairs relative to a sewer vent that the city had minded him to accomplish i assume that is one of the list but 200 this number coming off with with all due respect that would be great if thanks can be taken place we can separate the cheat from the charge of this is my comment. I have followup questions the concern were the individuals that said theyve come here before and talked to someone and throughout the issue was revolved can you explain what happened in those particular incidents. Unfortunately, im thinking this is one a miscommunication issue weve put in mitigation measures we have been keeping a log of communications with the constituents and with public works so im almost 100 percent sure that wont you know 99 percent sure that will noltdz happen next year i binge this up since ive been on the board ive never dont recall someone saying theyve come here before and the issue was not revolved that was definitely a surprise to me i think that ultimately any biggest concern is the communication and making sure that there is a Clear Communication you know with those Property Owners and there is also i guess a little bit better outreach especially for some of our low income Property Owners especially our senior population i know that oftentimes with more elderly people they dont do their paperwork or manage their stuff and a lot of this can be confusing and stressful i really would like the department to a better job how they communicate when in their accept and expend notices i dont know if it means home visits or somehow connecting with those particular individuals it didnt come to a point they feel the needs to send a Family Member or show up at one of the hearings id like to see those issues resolve with a little bit more compassion for those particular individuals. And is there anything else want to add or anything else anyone has any questions regarding these questions. Supervisor yee. Im just wondering why we are having hearings during the day when people have to take off from work really makes especially theyre coming back twice but coming out once is a pickle and more difficult for in my mind in youre working in a low income job where you get fired because you want to come here to make their case is a real burden so almost feels like those are low income or have jobs they cant get off work to protest im wondering if any probability of shifting that you know when you have the hearings to be done in the evenings or some other format. Supervisor yee you make a really good point i think that what we should consider looking at is the possibility of we can check with the City Attorney number one looking at who to hold some of the harleys in committee im not sure we can and
