>> i think that we can be francisco are 5 times higher in the african american before the board on a more regular basis community and in san francisco and more alone the estimated dwreckt and indirect cost specific deliverables to the of diabetes and obesity is board to address those concerns. we are attributable to sugary sweetened beverage. at the board a lot for a lot of it is up to $61 million a year. that is specific items. every project for our sth direct cost, 61 million dollars rental assistance program probably a year. went these stats are staggering and through the commission-through the board at least 3 times going quite both to frankly unacceptable and the committee and back to the thing that is most redeeming about the board. many of the projects go through the stats are they are entirely preventable. planning so, we department, so there is a lot know that soda taxes work. of oversight related to individual mexico passed a 10 percent soda tax, 1 projects. i think the extent peso there are per leader in 2014 and seen gaps in that, something at the board astronomical results. after would be appropriate to address one year of implementing the tax, sales some of of sugary beverages in the country the gaps and whether it is failed by 12 percent and bottleed creating some of these annual reports or water rose by 4 percent. this declean is plans also across all demo graphics, but or procedures manual they can it was be addressed by the board the greatest among lowest income directlys opposed to going throthe communities whos cunl sumption commission process. as i stated in the has fallen 17 percent. many peope first this is hearing, part of it is about regressive tax and will continue to do the duplication of the oversight. we have so. by regressive i mean it to go to multiple commissions impacts poor communities and it does. the tax because we go through the housing effects those folks at the bottom but also here to say regressive commission and planning commission and board and committees and going to diseases like type 2 diabetes also multiple commissions before we get to the board and to the extent we can avoid disproportioninately effect people at that by addressing some of these issues the bottom so do we sit around drethly to the board i think that would and do nothing or go to work?

communities of color and particularly on kids who are now actually getting type 2 diabetes which used to be a disease of aging. not that sugary beverageerize the only culprit but a significant culprit and we know that and the science is crystal clear t. . it is not disputable. the only ones who dispute it are the so called experts on the [inaudible] the only question for us as a city and society is are we doing what we did with tobacco which is regulate tax, provide nrfgz helths warn ings and do what we know works to reduce consumption and make people healthier? it worked with cigarettes. we have a lot fewer people smoking today and people are healthier. the announcer: b dreams and good grades question is are we doing that with sugary aren't enough to get into college. there are actual

initiative are the largest source of sugar. it is the largest source of calories in the american diet and liquid sugar is different. the way the body processes it go directly to the liver and absorbed differently leading to the fatly liver you heard and i have diagnosed children as young as 5 and it is just devastating. the other piece to this is it doesn't help feel full when you have liquid sugar and that is another piece of the puzzle that is so important and why sugar sweetened beverages are different. i also like dr.bent diagnose adult onset dibateies in my practice. one out of 3 born in 2 thousand will [inaudible] this is a preventable disease. the data is clear, taxing soda will drive down consumption. we know this is true especially for children and teens. this is common sense to

thank you. >> thank you. next speakers. >> my name is emily [inaudible] and work at close concerns a diabetes and information organization. the incidence of type 2 diabetes increased in the u.s.

pervasive this disease is. unfonchinately ratef diagnosis and complications are exacerbated in minority and low income populations. the toxic food environment intensifys this problem. near half african american and luteenlo children will develop diabetes. significantly increase the risk of developing diabetes. i urge you to prioritize the health of our community, particularly that of children, the most vulnerable members of our society. the greatest tool we have to combat the dpi beaties epidemic and revention. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon and thank you for the opportunity to speak. my name is ava [inaudible] and senior program manager at the [inaudible] diabetes non profit dedicated to improving the lives of people with diabetes and prediabetes. new diabetes cases are exploding. the impact of diabetes [inaudible] the greatest burden is on the personal level. through my work i hear all the time about the challenges many people with diabetes are up against. here are quotes. i had 4 surgeries in 4 months including having two toes amputated. i hate finger sticks. i feel i'm losing control of my life and it st. frightening. i am falling all the time, broke my shoulder and kidneys are failing and cant feel my arm or leg. these are happening in san francisco in children and adults. we know sugar sweetened beverages are linked to diabetes so if we don't act it is on us. thank you for taking this initiative and supporting the sugary drinks beverage tax. >> thank you >> helen gow and work at close concerns, a diabetes nrfgz company based in san francisco. the biggest public helt challenge failed to capture the attention of americans. stigma and misunderstanding created a culture where patients are blamed for diabetes. this is close concern. we too often make people are diabetes feel it is their fault about the toxic food environment makes it hard to be healthy. drinks like soda are the number 1 source of added sugar in the diet and account for half consumed. a sugary beverage taxes shows decrease in soda but raises awareness [inaudible] too many people are not informed of the risk. we [inaudible] the city of san francisco has a opportunity to set a example for cities across america as we build a culture of health. thank you for your support and make thg healthy choice the easy choice. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello. thank you for having me here. honored to be here. not a san francisco native but work here. my name is jamie bruno and health nutrition [inaudible] we serve over 400 families in the city and i wanted to share that i am in support of this tax because one the toughest part of my jobs is speak to the parents addicted to soda. to speak to the children and try to get them off the soda and try to reverse their consciousness and awareness of what is healing to their bodies. it atrocious our water systems are not in place in the mission. there is more soda consumed and more liquor stores around the corner and food deserts but can't have a functional water fountain to teach the children to take them to the park and give them water to nourish their bodies. that's why i'm here. i want to insure the wellbeing of our future generation because they are the ones that will be there watching over us when we are oldser and now they are sick. 40 percent of the children in the mission are obese or dealing with stages of diabetes. already having high blood pressure. this is a injustice to the future generation. this is injustice to the communities that come here for opportunity in the nation. they center to start out being sick. this is not how i invention america or how i envision san francisco. everyone in favor of this, please stands up. thank you so much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. thank you for the opportunity. my name is ben dudeic and concerned citizen. so concerned i sought out a job on the campaign to pass the soda tax. san franciscans united to reduce diabetes. i want to second all the stats but not going to repeat them. i just want to thank everybody who is supported. elected officials-there are 115 endorsing elected officials, local businesses, and organizations both local and national all in support and want to thank everybody for standsing up against the propaganda of big soda. i want to remind the san francisco unified school district feared removing sugar sweetens beverages would negatively impact the school male program budget. the idea removing the products from shelves would hurt businesses is a myth the big soda corporations spread. in fact, when the school district removed the products they sold more water, milk and juice and revenues went up counter to what the big soda corporations would like you to believe. i would like to reminds everybody in 2014 the american beverage association announced their balance calories initiative with the goal to reduce beverage calories consumed per person nationally by 20 percent by 2025. i think voting for this measure and supporting at every level will help the american beverage association to achieve the goal. if they speak out against this they are hip crts. >> thank you. next speaker. >> [inaudible] [speaking spanish] [waiting for translation] >> he works for had latino coalition for healthy california and works with diabetes community. in outreach to families, parents have a hard time getting their kids to stay off the sugary drinks and beverages even though they try to educate them. they are find tg is hard to compete at home when the kids are expose today a lot of ads and sugary drinks accessible throughout the day. he also states that he is a huge supporter the soda tax because of the marketing being done to these communities of color and the students. >> thank you for your testimony. next speaker. thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is john [inaudible] i teach english here in the city at francisco middle school and here to voice my enthuse astic support of this measure. every day i teach low income students and see the disproportioninate damage soda does to low income communities and communities of color. today the soda industry knows of their products many harms just as the tobacco industry did 50 years ago. their business model is the manufacture and sale of metabolic and dental illness to the most vulnerable strata of society. sugar is addictive. therefore, in the face of a industry happy to take our money and ruin our health, the only ethical response is a tax on their dangerous product. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> [waiting for translation] >> she is a resident of san francisco and she supports this tax on soda companies. [waiting for translation] >> we know sugary sweetened beverages are tied to diabetes and diabetes has a huge impact on our residents wellbeing and health. >> [waiting for translation] >> and this is quhie i support the distributor tax you put on the ballot. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. >> hold the microphone to her mouth. >> [waiting for translation] >> in the last several years i center seen the impact of diabetes on young people particularly ones that i interact with. and i represent cyc. >> [waiting for translation] >> the young people are the next generation so it is important we keep their health and mind when we are here today. >> [waiting for translation] >> i urge all you to support the tax in support of the future of our next generation and health of our next generation and future of our young children. >> thank you very much. we still have a stack of speaker cards but know many stood up in solidarity, if there is anyone that would love to speak that hasn't a chance, i see a representative from the heart association so welcome. welcome you to the microphone. if there is anyone dying to speak, please come on up. if not, we'll close public comment and continue moving forward. >> hi, good afternoon. britny nob nagovernment relations drecktder for american heart association. we wanted to give our strong support for this initiative. as we know, sugary drinks are harmful, addictive products and beyond the health impacts of the products, they are marketed to communities of color. we know that despite the industries claims this is a regressive tax they target people of color and show latino people twice as many ads as white children and show black and asian children twice as many ads as white children. they were not claiming this internally when they made decisions to target our communities and hurt them with anone harm ful product. i am here to give strong support and excite today see the community come out this november. >> thank you. i have one more person, dr. shaning are you here? you spoke already. any other members that would like to speak come up. >> thank you supervisor cohen. i was fortunate that i could eat whatever i wanted my whole life. my two older sisters were not. they were both severely obose. one passed away 4 years ago. she was a year older than i and she had diabetes among other health problems. when i worked at laguna honda for a decade in the rehabilitation services department i was very aware the deproportioninate number of african american patients, they represented 25 percent of the population. many were there learning how to ambulate again following lower leg amputations. it broke my heart. worse, when i confronted former supervisor sofy maxwell here in city hall about the plan to cut 33 percent of the bed of laguna honda because 25 percent of the patients were african american, her callus response to me was who cares. i cared. i cared because i have multi-racial nieces and nephews who are also severely overweight and dont want to see them face amputations and not have skilled nursing facilities that will care for them. >> thank you. >> i strongly support this propolesh and you have my vote. >> thank you. i appreciate that. thank you everyone. i appreciate your time and willingness to come down and testify. supervisor tang, thank you for allowing us to schedule this hearing. needly to say this is a measure that is of urgent nature. it is matter of life and death and think you heard the statistics and we know personally many people probably in our own families, i know the case in my own family of members that have suffered and died from diabetes. so, it is my effort to bring this measure to voters in november so we can not only raise awareness but raise money to educate the next generation so they can take care of themselves. with that, i turn the committee back over to you. >> alright. thank you so much supervisor cohen and everyone who came out. i would just say that coupling this effort with other efforts to try to encourage people to drink water and so forth is so important. i think we are moving slowly on that. i have worked with student at lincoln high school who said we would love to have more water bottle filling stations in the school. the only one is in the cafeteria which is locked after 2 p.m. so we have been trying to ret row fit a water fountain so they can go and use more of the water bottle filling stations and just wish the school district would also try to help speed that process up for all schools in the unified school district so kids can start early on knowing water is a better alternative. also, you were alarmed to hear at lincoln high school we discurved the school district is charging to buy water bottles. they are selling them in theveneding machines and there was concern if they took away the sales from water bottles that it would hurt the revenue source frz the school district as well. i just bring up one experience i had with our local high school to say i think there are a lot of other things we need to do as well to encourage young people to drink things other than soda. so, with that said, thank you for coming up. thank you supervisor cohen. >> i just want to say thank you. i want to acknowledge and thank my staff who organized this from a legislative perspective and want to recognize moncuchinchia organizing the volunteers and getting people out and educated. she is on the grounds day to day person. i want to recognize the volunteers that are rolling up the sleeve jz joining this fight. the seniors and young people will ban together and will be victorious. >> with that said public comment is closed and this hearing-before we close the hearing why done we go to the controllers office who will share the costing letter. >> nutosha [inaudible] controllers office. we estimate the tax will bring in 14.4 million dollars a year as it is a enacted if passed jan 1, 2018. that is 7.2 million and the fallying year 14.4 million. >> thank you very much. with that said, public comment is clezed and the hearing is held. thank you everyone. alright. and now mr. clerk if you can call item 3. >> iletm 3 is second draft charter amendment to create the housing and development commission to ovsee economic and workforce development in housing and community development at election held nchb 8, 2016. >> i believe we have mrs. [inaudible] from supervisor peskins office. >> thank you chair tang and supervisor cohen for scheduling this hearing today and considering a next round och amendments. i wanted to thank both of you and also the other supervisors and steak holdsers that came out the last rules committee meeting to offer feedback and comments with respect to the charter amendment. i believe i will be asking for your consideration to move the amendments again today. i believe we will clarify and strengthen the measure before you for consideration. just to recap at last weeks committee meeting after discussion with the city administrator and real estate division we removed oversight of the functions that didn't per tain to affordable housing development or implementitation of the sur plus property ordinance. i also appreciated supervisor cohens feedback and kevin carol with respect to ovlap of the workforce functions of oewd oversight. we are proposing to remove the functions from the jurisdiction of the commission. the specific scope of the commission is left broad keeping the placement within the charter and supervisors desire to not be ovly prescriptive but there is a rational wlie the charter amendment can award contracts and grants allocated under the workforce investment act or community block program. this is keeping with the charter amendment central focus which sh creating a commission that provides a vision and strategic plan for housing and neighborhood development in the city. i want to thank lisa [inaudible] from exoewd and stakeholders who have taken time to meet with our office and offer feedback and would like to thank supervisor avalos with respect to establishing a strategic plan for equitable community investment particularlyinose struggling with economic opportunities. we like to offer a amendment to the measure the commission would be tasked adopted a strategic plan for housing and #c3450u7bty development every 5 years which the board of supervisors could modify before adopting via the resolution. if the incoming department of homelessness and supportive housing can commitment to procuring the strategic plan in the first 90 days we should insure the vision for housing and development in the sate which will benefit from long term planning. supervisor avalos offered feedback with respect the way the city family vets development agreements and that is the biggest concern i heard from community members and other supervisors unable to make the rules committee meeting last week. examples brought up included cpmc and america's cup. without being too previptive given chapter 56 of the code sets forth very specific procedures for the processing and approval of development agreements, i think there is a desire others on the board including supervisor peskin to be involved much earlier in the process and make it a transparent process for vetting agreements that you with ilbe asked to vote on at the board. to that end supervisor peskin would like to offer a amendment by providing a opportunity for the director to present a work plan highlighting potential development negotiation opportunities and giving the commission the opportunity to provide guidance. again, this not a mandate or something that the commission will have the authority to approve or reject, it is opportunity to have that discussion a lot earlier. with respect to mohd fundsing approval process, i also received a lot of feedback from housing organizations and staff we should include language that is also more prescriptive setting out a process for the commission which actually included things like a appeals process gibbon other departments with oversight bodies also have appeals processes. for example, it also made sense for us to keep loan committee process in tact and insure the commission meets weekly during nova cycles and recommends those to the loan committee at the end och inweek. i heard from stakeholders this aprauvl process could and should be stream lined. all that said with the wonderful guidance of the city attorney, we feel that is to lay that out in very specific detail is probably much too previptive for the charter so we are offering a amendment today to include a commission task or responsibility to adopt guidelines for how greats are procured and approved. within that process the director and commission have wide latitude to work that out themselves. um, finally, after requests for more flexibility and avoiding the potential for conflicts with respect to the [inaudible] criteria and insureing diversity of voices we added one additional. the supervisor iopponentment process and mayors that would be at large seat and one additional or one change in the criteria for a mayor existing seats that have some experience with homelessness and supportive housing. the intent behind that is to acknowledge not only the mayors commitment around supportive housing but the very necessary role supportive housing plays. without calling the newly forming department of homeless ness the thought is it is someone from that shop. so, i want to thank you the community members and city staff who offered feedback throughout the process and want to stress the charter amendment is designed to be floxeable and also a cooperative relationship between the directors and commission with respect how they run their departments. there has been ongoing discussion for years regarding the x creation of the commission. this is i hope a very thoughtful approach that still allows for wide latitude to the department directors to be able to do the very necessary and critical work they do, but also would help steer the direction and strategic planning for these very important agenda. supervisor peskin feels we pull together a comprehensive measure without being ovlee prescriptive or micro managing these department and look forward continue toog work with staff to work out the existing issues that are not encompassed and addressed within the chapter amendment and i'm available for questions. >> thank you very much. i have quite a few comments but don't know if we want to go to public comment here first. i have one speaker card. eileen boken but think there are more who want to comment on this item. please come up. i see mr. [inaudible] >> good afternoon. george [inaudible] president of coalition for san francisco north neighborhoods. i'm here because i support the charter amendment for housing and development commission. number 1, transparency. i believe the commission will give citizens who don't know what the oewd or mayors office of housing and community development-it gives them a chance to know a little about what is going on. there is no committee or oversight. we don't know what is going on. if we are told we don't know if it is true. planning for neighborhoods. there should be something about strategic planning on the frontened as the commission should be tasked for overseeing the process from start to finish. this is also about taking power away from the mayor and giving this power back to the people who live in sf. citizens need this power to make sure our money is spent correctly so we believe the mayor has way too much power in this process. it is vital the commission or the new commission would have the discretion to establish a process that will streamline the existingfunding approval process. people want to know how their money is being spent. mohcd is one of the only departments that doesn't have an appeals process for rfp's like dph, dcfy or department of homelessness. the new commission must have an appeals process. i support this commission. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, patrick [inaudible] i urge this commitsty to unanimously forward recommendation to full board to put this on novembers ballot. let the voters decide. whether they want more transparency and oversight of a city department that has control over 3 billion with a b. this is about the 850 or so san francisco residents who want to decide this for ourselves at the ballot box. particularly concern is this is not about olson lee's need to be entitled to gravtaus. i was shocked reading that in the newspaper and [inaudible] audioof the meeting last week. his concern he would lack substense or importance a department head has reporting to the mayor instead of to the commission doesn't hold water. you can ask barbara garcia and [inaudible] joan hayes white or greg suhr, bill ginsburg or [inaudible] at the library commission. they are not whining about gravtaus. according to mohd annual report for fiscal year 14/15, mohd issued just one [inaudible] to first responders and that program was first developed they were going to issue 10 thousand dollar loans annually and that didp cut out and cut to to 5, [inaudible] more concern is 5 year period between fiscal yeartony 10 and 11. [inaudible] small program that had -- >> thank you. sorry, your time is up. >> they have 50 million not issued [inaudible] that need to happen and it needs to happen now. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> eileen boken. a resident in support of this item. most of the previous testimony at the other meeting was regarding this item asfocus on the mayors office of housing and community development for affordable housing. instead i would like to focus on mohcd role as a policy body particularly the mayors working group. it is my understanding the mayors working group is instrumental developing the policies for affordable housing density bonus program. in this respect having a independent commission to oversee the mayors housing working group could have significant benefits. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> calvin [inaudible] san francisco information clearing house. i believe if it makes sense to reconfigure city government to deliver homeless services by the creation of homeless department it makes sense to reconfigure city agencies to deliver housing and community services given the fundamental and basic changes that occurred since both of the officers were formed all most 2 decades ago. the realty is most of the financing and the development that is occurring major project development that is occurring that used to be carried by the redevelopment agency or funded by the federal or state government is being done at the local level with our own resources and through a mechanism called the development agreement. i am greatly in support of this measure because the way in which it gives community responsibility and oversight as well assistance to the board of supervisors in the process of the development agreement to development of development agreements which is now the principle form of major development in the city. i process the city hasn't organized itself in my opinion to deal with. this is a necessary staep in that direction. thank you. >> thank you very much. any other members who wish to comment on item 3 just please come up. >> good afternoon. my name is gabriel medina and policy manager for meta. we became affordable housing developer and well as a host of services for over 7,000 clients mainly in latino communities. i am here to support this charter amendment. in particular the mission had over 1500 units of development occur and a lot of the developments happened with development agreements. one in particular the vitta development had a developer agreement, had a lot of benefit tooz the community, but when the community called to ask for the document the city said they didn't have a record of it and the final copy and didn't have capacity to share this. when it came to-we had a recent scenario where i look at developments happening down the line, for sflans instance 300 members of the bublic came together prop a how to spend the dollars for affordable housing and intention of local based developers being able to do that. however, regional developers came in in this case and tried to also apply for those funds when the community, the mission rallyed very hard for not having affordable housing development for 15 years to have the capacity and need policy set so this doesn't occur again. also, we would like to see more representation and transparency especially with regard to latino commissioners. we are 6.6 of the commissioners yet 15 percent the pop wrlgz and this is more opportunity not just for these commissions for transparency and budget allocation but other commissions that center have to do with land use. >> thank you very much. any other members who wish to speak on item 3? okay, seeing none public comment is closed. thank you very much to the speakers and to mrs. anglo from supervisor peskins office to trying to address some of the issues some of the initial amendments. i stand by some of the comments i made at the last meeting which is i am not the creation the commission is really the mechanism for solving which ever problem it is that is identified. i would say i tried to look hard toor see what is the problem we are trying to solve here i think what i'm hearing is we need to have more of a vision and work plan in place especially when it comes to the development of housing and the direction the city is going as well as the earlier valvement and discussion for the development of development agreements. so, those are i would say two of the main components i hear wanting to be addressed, but at the same time i'm not sure having this commission be the place to address that is the appropriate way to go. if there are things that for example, we should do better as a board of supervisors where we see what mohd is bringing forward to us maybe there is something we can change or ask for more brought before us bringing things to light. maybe there is something we can do earlier on in term thofz development of development agreements. that is where i see room for improvement in terms of what is potentially not working here for some people. so, i'm not sure the amendments today really address that. for example, just creating another seat on the commission is not really in my opinion speaking to what we are trying to solve here, so-i know that we do have to continue the item anyway so i just wonder if there is potential to continue the conversation especially when supervisor peskin comes back. i would love to discuss directly how we can shape it in a way to at least address the two main things i have pulled out from what i'm hearing from all you. >> i think that as you all know we are on a tight timeline with respect to the charter amendment. i have talked a little with staff about the potential to-we could have one more shot at making amendments. i would love to hear specifics from staff. i feel i put out there at the last committee meeting i was open to specific language if folks had ideas they wanted to shop ajound heard from some and not others. at this point if there is a opportunity to have a special on monday and then continue that to the 14th so it would be able to circle back around. i know the supervisor will be interested being a part of that conversation. i just want to again say that i do think he has done-has tried to really address without giving up on his initial principles or intent he is trying to do, has given some concessions in terms of jurisdiction or not wanting to micro manage the functions of these departments so i saw yes i think we can continue the conversations but with the understanding that some of the fundamental things he may not be willing to change. >> okay. it would be good to have that conversation with him directly as well and know he has been out so we'll do what we can to make sure we have another special meeting we can continue it to after amendments are made so it doesn't-it can still make it to full board on time. supervisor cohen. >> one day when i grow up and leave the board i will be like supervisor peskin and take long vacations and be able to get things done. i appreciate the amendments and thank you for stopping by the office and walking through them. a couple things when they briefed me on some the amendments i just want clarity on and the first question that comes to mind is, something-is this precedent setting? specifically it is unclear and think my staff may have raised this to you, unclear how one part of a department can be under the jurisdiction of a commission or overseen by the commission. how does that work? >> the way i approached it and the city attorney has some legal guidance around the precedent and impacts, the way that i have approached it is that there is largely no-it is really the commission has the discretion to sort of just set its own procedures and policies and develop that relationship with the directors and so calling out specific provisions and carving those out was really a attempt to try to address folks concerned that even though it wasn't mandated or prescribed in the original draftd it may be something the commission decides it wants to micromanage. by specifically calling it out and saying this will not be under the jurisdiction of the commission was a attempt to try to insure that process waents held up or delayed or-- >> i'll ask the city attorney. deputy city attorney, job gibbener. >> do we have other departments set up in a similar fashion? >> um, there are no commissions that oversee only part of a department or that i know or where we carved out a piece the commission-it isn't within the commissions jurisdition but don't think that is what this does. this says this commission oversees these departments, oewd and mohcd and can set policies overall for those 2 departments including grants and contracts mpt the one thing the commission-can set policies for how the departments process c [inaudible] or workforce investment funds so that is all within the commissions jurisdiction. the only thing the commission cannot do is decide awards of individual grants under these two programs unless the board of supervisors dopts a program providing authority for that program. >> i dont center other questions. >> speaking to earlier points about not trying to micromanage i think a problem i do have is that this charter amendment actually writes out what oewd and mohcd is suppose today do. it writes out how in supervisor peskins mind those departments should function and the functions are. that is the problem with that. we have a charter amendment doing that where i'm not sure the departments themselves-i don't want to speak for them but not sure the departments have collaborated to figure out this is what our function should be. so, even though it may not be micromanaging but passing this you are chaichcking essentially some the major functions they have. in any case, i think too continued the discussion and so i'll look forward to supervisor peskin returning and maybe more amendments we can work through on this. >> would we then be looking at continuing to monday special meeting or- >> we could continue to july 14th because i think supervisor peskin doesn't return until monday, is that correct? july 14, i'm willing to hold a special meeting july 18th so it doesn't hold up your timeline. >> thank you chair tang and supervisor cohen. >> i have a question for director-thank you. i have a question i like to brink up drecktder olson lee, one the speakers raised a interested question and thinks it goes to my concern i articulated last week. something you said supervisor tang about the legislation actually will be bringing about change to the department and perhaps it is a change we need. i don't know, that st. why i'm here to figure it out. a public speaker raised a interesting point. 50 million dollars for the small sites program is not used, is that accurate? >> that is not accurate. there is a portion of the general inclusionary funds that are being used that are 10 percent is set aside for the small sites program and we in the process getting legislation to conform with the existing program so we have used some of that money as it comes in but we dont have 50 million dollars in the small sites program sitting and waiting to be used. >> when you say getting legislation is it is drafted and introduced by the mayor? >> we are quite busy trying to get things to the board as i
