Supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Super safai i think that supervisor safai i think that item number one is going to be continued. So actually why dont we take item number two, please. Clerk yp two, ordinance of money to require parties to pay a refundable deposit when requesting written findings when the assessment appeals board has established procedures concerning the waiver and renewal of requests for written findings. Unless theres any comments from my colleague here why dont we hear from supervisor peskins and aide lee hel heppner. The proposed legislation before you today is an amendment to chapter 2b of the administrative code with policies and procedures for requesting findings of the assessment appeals board prior to an assessment hearing. As i understand it and this was sort of urged to our office at the request of the assessment appeals board, these amendments codify the policies and the procedures that have been developed by the assessment appeals board with the cooperation of the assessor recorders office. Relative to requests that the board prepare findings pursuant to california revenue and taxation code 1611. 5 and the property tax rules 308 and 325. And im happy to go into details and either the applicant or the assessor may make a written request for findings before commencement of an assessment hearing and theres a 215 ddeposit to cover the first hour of those finds and to the requesting party is billed for the preparation of those findings up to 30 hours. Theres also a procedure established for the abandonment of a request for findings and if the deposit is not paid before the conclusion of the hearing itself, if the requesting party fails to pay the total assessed amount or if the requesting party either explicitly or through neglect abandons their request for findings. If the request is abandoned, the requesting party is entitled to a full refund of deposit or fees paid unless the city has already spent more than an hour preparing those findings and for the appeals board to notify all parties that the request for findings has been abandoned. Again, this is to codify the existing procedures that the assessment appeals board already uses and in doing so to fill a gap in state law that was left there for us to be able to develop these procedures. One nonsubsanative declaration, on page 2, line 4, i believe that it should read, finding fees shall be waived instead of just findings shall be waived, and so it should be waived if any of the following occur. So i request that slight modification be made and don duran from the appeals board is here to address any details that i left out. I have a quick question. So this is designed and so this is prior to having a hearing that youd get essentially a written response. Is this prior to having the hear something. I think that is the case. Okay, great. Please come forward, mr. Duran. Good afternoon, supervisors. In answer to your question, the request for findings of fact must be made prior to the commencement of the hearing and the deposit is due either before or at the conclusion of the hearing. Once the hearing is held, when the board has the hearings, both parties are present, and the board can choose to render its decision prior to issuing those findings, or they can choose to issue its decision in conjunction with the findings. If the board releases their decision, if they choose to release their decision prior to issuing the findings or writing up the findings of fact, the parties both parties will be notified of the boards decision. The requesting party is then given the original requesting party is then given 10 Business Days to confirm whether they still want those findings to be issued by the board. please stand by one.

Each member of the public will have two minutes to speak. Thank you. Good morning. Public thank you to the board of supervisors tonight my name is nancy huff. I have a speech written for today. Pretty much the same one i gave in april. The same as the two i gave in 2016 and the three i gave in 2015. Lots of speeches. So many and so little progress. Im angry and frustrated beyond belief that i stand here today making the same speech that i have given time and time again to no avail. Why are we still here three years after the flood of 2014 and less than a year after the flood of january of 2017, where people are still losing their homes and lively hoods and peace of mind . Public Utilities Commission is not here to give their platitudes, they would tell you the issue is Climate Change. I dont deny that Climate Change is a problem. But that is not the reason why we have flooding in our neighborhood. What makes our homes flood year after year . Poor engineering and mismanagement of resources is the cause. Undersized sewers in our neighborhood is the cause. Source lines upstream is the cause. Sewer lines upstream is the cause. Victim blaming and endless studies which lead to no solutions for us is the cause. Im here to ask once again for the city to stand up and do whats right. Continuing to do nothing will be hiding behind the excuse there will always be a bigger storm is shortsighted and shameful. I dont want to be here again making these same pleas for help in 2018, 2020 and 2030. Please. Supervisor ronen thank you for your comments. I want to mention that the puc is not here. Thats my fault. Not the departments fault. I suggested that it was going to be 11 00 and because we called the item out of order, i just want to take responsibility for that. Public of course, understood. Thank you for your time. Supervisor ronen thank you. Next speaker, please. Public good morning again. Hello supervisors. My name is donna marie. With solutions, not sandbags, here we are doing our annual raining season about the same standing issue. It is apparent sandbags are the preferred solution by both puc and city special officials with no long term sustainable solutions. Well, on behalf of my neighbors, i would like to present a shormterm solution for this season because we shortterm solution this season because we live in a dire state. Sandbags will mitigate six feet of sewer water levels that erupt inside homes from restoring our homes again and bringing us back to the same meeting year after year. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you. Next speaker, please. Public good morning. My name is rita. Im with the new mission improvement association. It pains me to see that my neighbors suffer so much from these faulty engineering actions. When interstate 80 was built, my neighbors are suffering from Collateral Damage when the drains for 280 were constructed. And at the end of cuyahoga avenue, that causes the flooding to back up there. At the interchange of 280 and 101 just past the farmers market, it is where san bruno avenue and a step away is bayshore boulevard and it floods under there. Up to a foot of water and entering cars on certain circumstances. It is not safe for the drivers who have to use that roadway either. It seems as caltrans and the federal government who built 280 left a mess. And the mess has been suffered by the residents of san fran. So, i hope San Francisco. It is not fair and appropriate to a city like San Francisco. Supervisor ronen thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Public hi. My name is blaine bachelor. I live in mission terence. I like my neighbors are here again. Same pleas. Same speeches. Same demands, requests, whatever you want to call it for action and nothing. Three years later, what is pucs solutions . To drop off sandbags and tell us this is Climate Change and this is not their problem or their fault. And it is. I am going to read a letter a friend of mine wrote on my behalf to ed lee and harlin kelly. My friend was thrilled to save up enough money with her husband to become firsttime homeowners in our great city. It was heart warming to see her move in and settle and build a home. As a friend, it was heart breaking to watch the 2014 sewer failure destroy the entire lower level of her home and create paper work, costs and financial problems. I have been sad to see her face taxing emotional obstacles. The ongoing negativity has resulted from this situation. She should be feathering her nest and enjoying her family and new baby. Not clearing raw sewage in her home every time it rains. And it started last weekend with another moderate rain backing up the sewage in her neighborhood. I do understand that the cost of repairing such infrastructure have are high. But are high. But it has been three years. That is more than enough time to come to a permanent solution. Im sure you and any other voter will agree this is a responsibility of the city. Given this certain evan yulety, the city will kick the can down the road as opposed to solving the problem. [bell]. Supervisor ronen thank you. Is there any other member of the public that would like to speak . Public supervisors, thank you for brings this to a public hearing. Im david hooper and i have lived in Mission Terrace for over 30 years. This problem isnt just Mission Terrace. It is in district seven and district nine. It is also down at 17th and folsom ajay dent to the new, high adjacent to the highly touted childrens playground. This is fecal matter washing into peoples home. Repeatedly, historically. But it isnt a flooding area. It is 75 feet above ground level. This is what i would like see happen. I would like see the puc encourage to contact david, scott weiner, use their good offices with caltrans and the state of california in order to figure out improved financing for the issue, part of which it appears to me is the responsibility of the state of california. I would like say also that the supervisors who have been affected, their districts that have been affected by this have been responsive individually. Last january, i saw supervisor sheehy the morning after it happened and he was stunned. It isnt going to go away. We use a lot of buzz words politically. We talk about social justice. [bell]. Public they become empty if we allow a situation like this that everything knows about to go unanswered. That particular part of the community is not rolling in money. It is the poor neighbor to glenn park. The traffic there is horrendous and yet it is a community. So, im asking you to hold the puc responsible and to have them address these issues rather than just pass the buck. Supervisor ronen thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Public my name is dennis. Im a native San Francisco i have to say there can be no more finger pointing. Doesnt make any difference who caused this. It needs to be fixed. And there isnt any excuse. It isnt your responsibility or your responsibility or yours to fix it itself. But to take the leadership to force either the city or the city and the state to figure out how these people going through having sewage come back into their home is atrocious. And it happened one time to my brothers place. It was outrageous the amount of filth and crap that came back into his place. And if these people to face it year after year, it is unconscionab unconscionable. I live near irving street and the city is redoing 48 blocks of irving street, most of which doesnt really need to be done. These people need the kind of work that is being done all over the city for future mta transit vision. And in the meantime, these people are suffering. Theres no excuse for it. And i just had to stand up here and urge you to urge whoever the hell it is on the other end of the phone to do something and not make any more excuses. Thank you. Supervisor ronen thank you so much. Is there any other member of the public that would like to speak on this item . Seeing none,
