It is with excitement that i support her nomination, not just because miss jordan comes with experience about the workings in the city, presenting many families that are invisible and not heard enoughand our work with miss jordan has been a bridge, is our Community Experiences gaps of opportunity.

I have a motion to continue on her request. Have three minutes or two according for this . Supervisor avalos three is fine for me. Thank you to the chairman and the members of the committee for hearing me today. In terms of my applicable experience i have been responsible for developing a pedestrian friendly vision. That is something i feel very strongly about. This opportunity i think is really exciting because it is in affect creating a brandnew neighborhood for the city of San Francisco that has so many complex elements and it. I have been through the comprehensive plan for the island. It is extensive and one of my qualifications is that i understand the vision and where it is headed. I applaud that and i know how much time it takes to put it together and it is been many years in the making. There is a critical junction here when planning is turning into the physical development of the island, beginning in the next couple of months when demolition starts taking place. I have been in that place before, with thousands of acres turning into a thriving community, overseeing the construction of transportation networks, trail and parks facilities, public facilities, sites for homes that were at various levels of affordability. Supervisor avalos where was this . A Community Called dupont landing in washington, one of the hallmarks of community planning, designed by unintelligible in berkley. Looking at the comprehensive plan. Im excited at the opportunities it can be seen as a brandnew community, looking at the use of the wetlands as part of the Water Treatment plant there. For the last five years i have been involved in the company that creates a new stores wetlands across the United States so i value that deeply. This is a grander use i would say of those wetlands; im particularly eager to see how that plays out. The other parallel is that in the course of the unintelligible project there was a huge environmental issue there, covering over 600 acres. It was an old black powder plant, much like hercules was here. When that use and it there was a substantial arsenic and lead contamination that we have to clean up. I dont think that things are quite severe in Treasure Island is that. Radioactive waste. There is that. Im enthused by using my experiences to create unintelligible and restore wetland and bring them to Treasure Island. One of the most satisfying things in the past project has seen a transform unintelligible talking to new residents and employees who come they are to see the enthusiasm on their faces that we achieved what we set out to achieve in a like to do the same thing at Treasure Island. Supervisor avalos thank you. Supervisor tang thank you for your interest in your appearance today. Im curious if you have gone to the advisory Committee Meetings and what you have seen. And what you have perceived as some of the issues that face Treasure Island. I have attended one of the citizens Advisory Board meetings in june. At that meeting there was no discussion about the transition plan but i am aware that they are existing residents on the island. There is a transition plan in order to carry it forward so they are not displaced from the island as it takes these others transformative steps. I know that there has been considered and i was able to speak briefly with one of the residents on the board and asked her specifically how the concision plan appeared to her and what i heard was a positive response, that it did accommodate the residents of the island and plans and expects good things there. That is extent of my experience with that. Supervisor avalos thank you and will open up for comment; i will ask for a motion to continue so that we can review other applications as well but your name will still be in the mix. Very well. Supervisor avalos Public Comment is now open. Hi, im becky unintelligible , for seven or eight years. I have been chatting with him today, i think he would be a positive addition to the committee and we have lost a lot of good people so we need new people. Supervisor avalos did you have a quorum .

Last month i worked on the resolution to have the Planning Department and unintelligible and part of it a Strategic Plan for district 6 and district 10 for how to get more parkland in those areas. Is something that is needed and it is very important and we need to make sure that it is done properly. The if it is the last thing i did im happy to go out on that. I want to make sure that our parks in the district that i have represented in the past and have taking care of and in other districts is something really important to me making sure that other districts that dont have parks like i have had in my life are represented in park land. Supervisor avalos thank you.

Number five is hearing to consider appointing the members terms ending september 3, 2018, to the assessment appeals board. Good morning supervisors. My name is joseph tang sounds like , ive been on the assessment appeals board no. 2, from 2010 to 2012, and no. 1 for the last three years and previously i worked with a San Francisco Public Utilities commission as a Real Estate Properties officer. I am also certified general appraiser since 1985 i believe, so its been a while. So in that capacity i do appraisal work and also i was Bank Supervisor reviewing other peoples appraisals. At sfpc i was a member of local 21 and i was adelegate for them for 4 years and i volunteer at the ymca and do various other chinatown related volunteer opportunities. Thank you very much and thank you to the seven applicants that are here for board no. 1 and no. 2. We are in interesting Economic Times and we know that most of you are reappointments. If you could shed light on how it is that you unintelligible fairness is important but what are some of the things that you look for. This will be a question for all the applicants that come up. Supervisor avalos ill give you my questions as well; the philosophies that drive your decisionmaking. I along with the other Commission Members we have worked for many years together on the commission so we are all professionals. When someone appears before the board we look at the appeals objectively and go through their presentations and analyze and ask questions in regards to their methodology and how they arrived at their value. When we meet behind closed doors with primarily stick with the facts of the case and look at different aspects of the reports and to make sure also that there is equity involved. Once we decide the value of the property we also try to meet not only the spirit of the letter of the law but also the spirit of the law sometimes because in many instances as you may know assessment property rules are very complicated and cumbersome even sometimes to myself. We see guidance of the Legal Counsel on the board and try to make an equitable decision when it comes to sometimes the case does not meet the letter of the law but it does meet the spirit of the law and we try to have equity for the taxpayer. Supervisor avalos thank you. Well go on to the next reappointing. The get my notes before me. Mark watts. I apologize for the confusion. Good morning i am mark watts, currently serving on board number one. This will be my third term. I really enjoy it. I enjoy that over the past four or five years the quality of work that the assessors doing has dramatically improved in terms of their presentations. They had unified their presentation style which has helped us and are working better with the applicants in terms of reaching equitable decisions. unintelligible i think we have actively worked with the assessor and with applicants to try to bring them together to bridge that gap. As far as my experience, 25 years of commercial real estate appraisal, i enjoy the cases, i enjoy looking at and talking about real estate. That is what these cases are about. I see absolutely no with our group of 10 people, i may be interact with five or six people and i have never seen anyone having a bias toward the applicant or the assessor. We look at the facts and make a decision based the facts presented before us; we cannot go back home and do homework. This is what people present. We will continue this case and you need to come back with more information or sometimes i have to tell the assessor, look, the approach it took was not the proper approach for a real estate appraisal. Supervisor avalos how long have you served now . I served four and a half years. Supervisor avalos so you have been a part of the appeals, and the large backlog. How has this affected the work of the board . It is made the applicants angry but we try to be efficient and listen to what the people have to say. Right now the backlog is down quite a bit. Supervisor avalos good to hear. Next up is mister spitzell sounds like . Good morning i am scott spitzell, certified accountant and a certified fraud examiner for 25 years. Ive been a board member for the past six years. My philosophy or approach to the board is that a decision has to be made on the facts presented by the parties in front of us. I think that typically each case comes down to two or three differences of opinion and it is important to question parties and understand the basis for why they base their opinions on those two or three fax and get an understanding of their belief in his support for that belief and from that a reasonable decision can be made based on that information. Supervisor avalos thank you. Any questions . Thank you. I think i would do this one on its own, well open up deciding for Public Comment. Any member that would like to comment . Seeing none i will close Public Comment. Supervisor tang i like to make a motion of joseph tang to seat 2, mark watt to unintelligible and unintelligible . Supervisor avalos i would like to thank everyone for their service, long hours on the assessment appeals board. And thank you for the service to our city. Without objection. gavel . Item number six. Here to consider appointing four members, terms ending september 3, 2018, to the assessment appeals board number two. Supervisor avalos miss mendoza. My name is louise mendoza. I have been on the board 2, seeking reappointment for seat one. I have been with the assessments this will be my fourth term in the board im looking forward to it. I have been arrested broker for 17 correction i have been a Real Estate Broker for 17 years. I started 20 years ago. I graduated to commercial and still do a lot of Property Management, residential and commercial and got my Insurance Brokers license. Went on to mortgage brokering. Had the opportunity unintelligible . I own and operate my own Small Business where i do mortgage brokerage. unintelligible i do some residential. I thoroughly enjoy the assessment appeals board. For me it bridges and understanding between unintelligible and the assessors office. unintelligible is like an ongoing process as you work with each case individually and then you see what is needed and recommendations are made unintelligible . For me, with a lot of information i have gathered unintelligible i can then pass that knowledge along to the public. It is really intimidating the public when they do come before the board as to what should be provided, and how we should go about it. It is mission to provide information for the committee unintelligible we are here and the city is here, not an intimate dating cr1 correction intimidating it is not an intimidating process. Supervisor avalos is there a difference between appeals boards 1 2 and 3 in terms of the types of appeals . unintelligible with board 2 its under 50 million and board 3 does a lot of hearings on residential. I remember the days we started oh my goodness, so many cases over and over, after a while you see it and you know it because for me i work basically in the streets seeing it, looking at the facts when it comes before you. unintelligible . Supervisor avalos great, thank you. Supervisor tang. Supervisor tang i will repeat the question that both supervisor avalos and i asked, how do you view the cases, what are the values that you take with you as you approach these cases. Well, i approach the case, or each case, as new and different. Its like a blank paper when it comes before you as you look at the facts on both sidess. And you try to determine the points before you on the cases, bearing in mind though there will be at the end one part that will not be too happy with the results. The objective is to make understand each unintelligible position. At the beginning what i tried to do and see is explain to the taxpayer why do you believe that the value is x, y or z. And not feel intimidated before they start. Supervisor avalos mr. unintelligible is not available. Next up is angela unintelligible . Transferring from board 3. Good morning supervisors, thank you for having me here. My name is Angela Cheung sounds like . When i graduated in 1992, i obtained unintelligible license, i have been lucky to work in San Francisco since then. Between 1992 and 1996 i took further education real estate including appraisal, loan underwriting and processing. I obtain a broker license in 1996. In the 23 years i have been doing numerous transitions including condos, multi family commercials and now im lucky to be in redevelopment an project as well. unintelligible ive opened up my own business, a Brokerage Firm and i do Property Management and more development projects. The reason why i can devote more time to the committee right now is because i have unintelligible because as a lot of people know being a salesperson or broker your work seven days. Or in the management work, i can have more stable schedules to serve the committee. Ive been sitting in board 3 for two years, since 2013, not only as a hearing officer but unintelligible and also substitute in board 2. I have experiences unintelligible . And also because i been so long in industry, i went through at least three cycles and also the economy cycles, and i have seen a lot of ups and downs in property values. Basically my business is people business so i talk to people and a lot of times unintelligible cases i understand that as a commissioner or board member, we have to be neutral. In order to deliver a fair and reasonable judgment. Otherwise it is not going to be good for both bodies. unintelligible emotional, sentimental value on the property. A lot of times there are different stories that they try to tell us but sometimes it is off track as well. Were talking lets say 2010 tax appeal, and sometimes they give us 2010, or back to 1990, a lot of times honestly, everybody is a human being, i have to bring myself back to the facts and what is being presented. Said to be a commissioner or member of any board we have to be neutral. Honestly, not only because of the efforts of the commissioners. unintelligible and the assessment appeals office, the whole team. I enjoy working with them and serving the community as well. Supervisor avalos could you say why you would like to move from 3 to 2 . What is your interest behind that . I want to do more with the full board honestly. I think my knowledge in the real estate business, i can serve more under board 2, from singlefamily housing to multifamily investment properties. Also the hearing officer is good and has very good experience as well. The other reason is because right now people are more into unintelligible . The hearing officer has less; im almost holding unintelligible as a full board. So i said if there is an opening in board 2 unintelligible . And also as a team, all the commissioners, if anyone needs a substitute i am available to do that. Supervisor avalos thank you. Seeing no other questions well go on to the next applicant. Joyce lewis. Good morning. My name is joyce lewis, and i am seeking reappointment to board 2 as an alternate. In 2011 i was appointed to fill a vacancy that became available midterm. In 2013 i was appointed officially to board 2 as an alternate. In terms of my qualifications i am a licensed attorney in the state of california. Ive been licensed for 20 years. I wanted to make a couple of points about your question supervisor tang. Philosophically i want to make two points. I believe when citizens come before the assessment appeals board, it is important that they feel that they have been heard, that they have been given the opportunity to make their case, and that they have been treated respectfully and unintelligible the space of correction the face of the county, and i want to say that everyone has been very respectful towards members of the public. I ask probing and careful questions; it is important for me to figure out where the dispute lies between the parties, is it the Square Footage . Is it the condition . Is it the market . I spend extra time asking probing questions because of the time the hearing is over i am hoping that the parties are surprised or shocked by the decision. There is a segment of the population struggling to hold on to the residence here in San Francisco. It is an opportunity for me to get some education about the process. They dont know what type of evidence to bring in. Frankly before i got involved with the board i do not know much about the appeals process. In terms of educating residents and taxpayers about what their rights are. Supervisor avalos great, thank you, i appreciate your answer. We have another applicant. Well opened this for Public Comment. Any member of the public would like to make comments come forward seeing none i close the Public Comment. Supervisor tang i would like to reappoint each member as well and make it motion to appoint unintelligible . Supervisor avalos thank you and i appreciate the motion.

The graffiti Advisory Board is not a plum, we do not get invited to the giants game. We are asked to plant trees and pull out weeds. Clean streets in San Francisco and abate graffiti in places where some of you have never been; i have been under the freeway painting graffiti with feces at your feet. It is important to all of us particularly to youth because it helps them grow and care. When they are out they learn about themselves and their city, the learn about social issues and the environment picnic so what we do in the graffiti Advisory Committee, we are teaching people to be responsible and we want to create a safe, healthy city because we love our city and this is my home. Admitted my home and i am working hard and i am passionate about what im doing at the graffiti Advisory Board because i want others to call San Francisco their home as well. Supervisor avalos thank you for your service and your thorough response as well. Thank you very much, i love what i do. Supervisor avalos last person is jamie lord sounds like , i dont know she is coming. Theres a question about her eligibility as well. We were not able to contact ms. Lord. Supervisor avalos i have four cards. Come in the order that you are called. Good afternoon supervisors. This is my first time being at the civic center for endorsing Rebecca Doug Otto correction Rebecca Delgado for seat 16. She has been my mentor. She has inspired me to get into community work. Her work since 2007 with the board has proved more than what i can say right now but i know rebecca as a person who deserve passionate and an educator who
