supervisor mar: thank you. i understand the director could not be here, but i really appreciate your being here. i also want to mention that the president of the american public health association is in los angeles at a conference, but she will be notified is by letter, all of the supervisors and the mayor, that the american public health association -- the last speaker is deborah.from corporate accountability international but that has a number of things they have been working on. -- the last speaker is deborah. >> thank you so much for the opportunity today. toward you, yes. is that better? thank you so much. thank you so much for the opportunity to speak to you today. i in the senior organizer with a campaign of corporate accountability international, -- i am the senior organizer. we have 33 years of experience protecting public health and the environment, and we strongly support this ordinance. as michelle obama would point out, our nation is in the midst of a public health crisis. today, we have heard from

supervisor mar: thank you. please come forward. >> my name is -- and i am speaking mandarin chinese. supervisor mar: someone from my office can help. >> more than 30 years. [speaking foreign language] >> i have lived in the bay area for 30 years, and i do not understand the purpose of today's legislation. >> [speaking foreign language] >> he is asking if he can ask you that question. i am going to tell him that this is public comment. supervisor mar: we would really appreciate your comments. >> [speaking foreign language] >> [speaking foreign language] >> as a worker, i have eaten a lot of fast food over the past 20 years. i had eaten at jack in the box and mcdonald's. when i was working, there was no other three options. -- food options. >> [speaking foreign language] >> no matter what kind of food you eat, whether it is japanese food or chinese food, it is responsibility to exercise. -- it is your responsibility to exercise. >> [speaking foreign language] >> so the children who are eating these meals should b

supervisor mar: thank you. so people should come forward. last chance. >> good afternoon, members of the committee. my name is -- and i am with the california restaurant association, an item here to oppose this legislation before you. first and foremost, implementing this ordinance does nothing really to accomplish the intended goal of reducing childhood obesity. we as an industry and even as parents understand that this child did obesity is a serious concern and one that requires an really deserves a comprehensive approach that addresses the various factors that actually contribute to childhood obesity. according to a recent report, as much as 40% of a child's daily caloric intake -- further, more than 75% of all meals are eaten at home. the statistics say that this issue is not really about an incentive item or a toy offered but a much, much broader issue. parents say they want healthier options, i think it real solution would be to promote or focus on promoting physical activity, moderation, and educating th

supervisor mar: thank you. are there any questions? let's open this up for comment. is there anyone from the public that would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion? supervisor chu: i make a motion to set this item forward with recommendation. supervisor mar: woid. we are -- without objection. we are moving this forward with a positive recommendation. miss stokes, please call item number 3. >> ordinance amending the employer relations ordinance to update provisions consistent with state and local law and related cleanup provisions. supervisor chu: mr. martin grand from department of human resources. >> again, supervisors, martin grand, to the board and chair, about almost exactly one year ago, october, 2009, d.h.r. started a project of updating a document which has grown to be sadly out of date. the document is the city's employee relations ordinance. what is the city's employee relations ordinance or the e.r.o. as we call it? it's a document which tells us what the city's barg

supervisor mar: ok. but i definitely agree on the revenue item, the parking on revenue from different parking properties for the city. i can't remember which one that was. but items that are revenue-generating or reducing inefficiencies in the budget, i think those should be prioritized. so i support the suggestions from supervisor chu. supervisor chu: so to clarify, for the 1,000 hours that we're talking about, why don't we prioritize, number one, let's say the advertising and our collections on current advertising contracts, and then, i think, generally sort of the structure we should be looking at as we think about naming rights and other things that might be coming up. and then the second one would be on the m.o.u. and labor unions component, if you would work with d.h.r. to revise the scope to something that is more meaningful and useful in the short term. supervisor maxwell: supervisor, may i ask you a question? when you say -- i mean, exactly what are we talking about? are we talking about the spe

president chiu: same house, same call. >> appointing superviseeric mar -- supervisor eric mar. president chiu: without objection, he shall be recused. supervisor daly: aye. supervisor dufty: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor maxwell: aye. supervisor mirkarimi: aye. supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. president chiu: this motion is approved. if we could skip over the 3:30 special order. we will be continuing the special order at 4:00 p.m., we will need to come back in order to do that. can we go to the items 54 and 55? >> considered by the land use and economic development committee on october 18, 2010. the committee reports and recommended as amended, the resolution authorizing the office to prepare a report for infrastructure financing district 1 in determining other matters related there, too. i have only read item 54. item 55 is establishing finance for the hill area, setting the date for a public hearing on the formation of the district to be held in this legislative chamber. presiden

mar --supervisor mar: were there any other parents here that have to leave? i want to continue to say that i have given out four minor amendments in language, and at the end, my hope is that we continue this for one week so we can have even more input from the industry, but also from neighborhoods and health advocate. the minor amendments i will just read into the record are -- what is we have removed all references to a single food items so it is focused on the meal itself. before i get to these young food guardians and their teacher, the second amendment is in line with the usda standards, but also influenced by the institutes of medicine recommendation, but we have decreased the number or the amount of vegetables from 3/4 of a cup of vegetables to the usda requirement, i believe, of 0.5 cups of vegetables. that is on page eight, line three. the third is because vegetables may not typically be served at breakfast -- and i know that is a high of one for me and my kids -- we added the language that it could be 0.5 cups of fruit or vegetables, so it could be e

supervisor mar: good morning. the need to and come to quarter. this is the meeting for october 28, 2010, the meeting of the government on its end of oversight committee of the san francisco board of supervisors. our clerk -- i would also like to thank the sfgtv staff for their great work in the city as well. could you please make any announcements? >> please make sure to turn of cell phones and pagers. completed speaker cards and copies of any documents to be included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. items act upon today will appear on the november 9 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. supervisor mar: thank you, and we have three items on the agenda today. please call item 1. >> item 1, motion directing the budget and legislative analyst to conduct three audits in fiscal year 2010-2011. supervisor mar: this item has been to committee several times, so this is a report from the budget and legislative analyst's office. >> good morning. as you stated, we have had several presentations on proposed audits for cale

mar -- supervisor mar: gracias, thank you. >> [speaking spanish] >> thank you. what i want is that they replace the french fries with slices of apple, and i want them to place more vegetables on the hamburger and use wheat bread so there are more options for our children. supervisor mar: thank you very much. i know we have about 50 speaker cards here, and i wanted to invite the deputy director to come up and just make remarks. thank you for being here. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i think we all know that physical activity and access to good attrition are the building blocks for healthy communities, and incentivizing good food and good choices for families is going to be essential, and i think that is kind of the essence of your legislation. our health commission has tabled the discussion. the wanted to hear the outcomes of the hearing and also the outcomes of your conversations with mcdonald's. there are standards that the institute of medicine has developed that she has discussed with mcdonald's, regarding some of their goals for school lunches, which are t

supervisor mar: ok. i appreciate the detail and kind of taking the closer look and you being sensitive to supervise ors chu and maxwell's concerns. and proactive goals of better efficiency but also not taking something away but making it more equitable and eliminating waste and inefficiencies and bringing it up to date as well, it sounds like. mr. rosen felled -- rosenfeld. >> one quick point. i know the committee's trying to determine how to allocate limited hours here. i know our office in working through our audit plan for the year as do others, we like to see audits completed at the moment in time where they have the ability to effect a change. that ultimately that's the end goal. and one of the unique circumstances to think about for this year, especially for this calendar year, is the fact that the vast majority of our m.o.u.'s are closed. we have m.o.u.'s that are closed not only for the last nine months of this fiscal year but for the most part with a couple of very small exceptions for the entir

supervisor mar: thank you. there are two parents who are also community leaders that have to leave soon, and i want to ask that if they are in the overflow room, to come forward. both are with the bayview hunters point food guardians. if they could come forward, and if there are many children and teachers that i know that are here, i think they should come forward as well because i hope they could be at the top of the agenda, so i'm going to do my best to thank everyone for coming forward to testify today on our healthy meal child of the city ordinance in san francisco, and you can probably see that i am someone that consumes fast food. the taco bell/kfc at 6th and geary probably knows me by name because in there all the time. i do want to say that this ordinance is really about the most important thing that i do as a supervisor. there's nothing more important than the help of our children, and that motivates me to create with supervisors chiu and campos this ordinance. the epidemic of obesity in this country i

supervisor mar: thank you. any last speakers at, please, we are going to cut it off after that person standing up there. >> thank you. i am marty martinez. i work with a statewide policy organization, and we represent communities of color across california, and we really applaud this legislation in support it. -- and support it. communities of color are disproportionately consuming fast food in neighborhoods that are disproportionately close to fast-food and are suffering from greater rates of diabetes and obesity, and its current projections continue, we are going to get to the point where basically every other latino is going to have diabetes. that is going to be our future unless we take action. this is really a question of health equity. we really applaud the action. supervisor mar: thank you. i understand the director could not be here, but i really appreciate your being here. i also want to mention that the president of the american public health association is in los angeles at a conference, but she will

supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i just wanted to ask about this and the brandon street wharf. i got some input from a number of environmental and clean water advocates, and one points to the term sheet, 6.1 b, and begins to rise to use the facilities for the events, and then it says exclusive rights until six months after the america's cup match as reasonably necessary, and there is a question about when will the public -- i think a growing reused areas, and it is one of the areas that i want to understand. >> i am going to defer to her for that, because she has more conversations that i have. i do just want to say for the record that about the city winning the bid, the brandon street project is moving forward. it is a $22 million project, about $8 million of which is for the demolition of pier 36, which has been abandoned for a while. so that is moving forward regardless, and it does make for a nice amenity. supervisor mar: thank you. >> we tried to identify those assets, which would be added to our bid, and the braden street wharf, the new asset will be tremendous. we do not

supervisor mar: ok. >> so finally the -- this would be an evaluation to look at the cost and benefits of the practices and procedures, current procedures, look at their gaps, areas where either Ñ and they are not or perhaps a agreement doesn't benefit the city as well as it might.i2n possibly looking at) areas where perhaps the agreements may be conflict the city policy. we would see this a project would be probably about 440 hours. it might end up being somewhat less given the controller's more detailed audit of this clear channel agreement which i think is probably one of the more agreements require more scrutiny. on the next one we were asked to look at the assessor's property assessant backlog. this question is very specific. the controller did do a much more comprehensive performance audit of the&q&$ assessor's off that was completed in the spring of 2009. in the budget that year the assessor requested and received new positions that were designed -- intended to look at their property backlog. this

supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i'm in support of the motion. i wanted to thank misters morris and blaine and urge mr. watts to keep coming back. and thank you for the presentation as well. but i'll be supporting the motion by my colleagues. chairman campos: thank you, supervisor mar. i echo those comments. very solid presentation mr. watts. do think that the two individuals who have been nominated for reappointment have done a good job and come well recommended. so i will be supportive of that motion but i urge you to continue to remain interested. so if we can take that without objection. thank you. call item 1, please. >> hearing to consider appointing one member term ending march 31, 2012, for the commission on the aging advisory council. there is one seat and one applicant. chairman campos: great. thank you. i know ken is not here but we have alex to speak on his behalf. good morning. >> supervisors, thank you very much for allowing me to speak on behalf of our appointment. unfortunately he was not able to be here. he had a last-minute emer

supervisor mar: present. supervisor maxwell: present. president chiu: can we have a motion to excuse m toirkar -- supervisor mirkarimi? supervisor dufty has just joined us. please join in the pledge of allegiance. are there any communications? >> we have received a letter communicating the mere's vet -- mayor's veto on an alcohol mitigation fee. president chiu: can you call the consent agenda? >> these items will be acted upon by a single roll call vote. the matter shall be removed and considered separate if requested. president chiu: roll-call vote on the consent agenda? supervisor chu: aye. supervisor daly: aye. supervisor dufty: aye. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor maxwell: aye. supervisor alioto-pier: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor campos: aye. president chiu: aye. >> there are 10 ayes. president chiu: the resolution is adopted. can we call item 33 and item five together? >> directing the clerk of the board to agenda is consideration to overwrite alcohol cost recovery fee? president chiu: supervisor

supervisor maxwell: supervisor mar? supervisor mar: i am interested in sailing or yachting, and i do not even know what the terms are. it's seems like an exclusive sport. could you talk about the programs that allow different demographic fit? >> i know that we're trying to move into the water front. a. this is to bring kids from all of the areas. supervisor mar: it would be good for me to get numbers of public- school students to participate now versus if this project goes forward and how we can extender -- can extend that. supervisor mirkarimi: i know this is not something we have been exposed to en masse, but when the cup came to the area that i spent most of my youth in, they were in the minority. it was the working class. it was the blue-collar, all of us, the family that i came from. we grew up with this as if it were just a normal part of our sort of demographic dna, and we learned to adapt, always in joining in a really relying on the america's cup economy all year round for the three years that it cycled always

can we refer back to supervisor mar? supervisor mar: 90. i wanted to be added on to the in memoriam for kathleen cecil. she was a unique feature. we know from her activism for teachers for social justice, but i will just say that she was a tremendous activist, but she treated teaching every day as if it were her first day of teaching. a tremendous, inspiring person that had a stubborn belief in all of a student's abilities, even if they did not have the same belief in themselves. what a loss for mission high. i know that all the teachers at mission will never let her memory die, and all her students that she has inspired will continue on as well. i also want to join supervisor avalos later in supporting the san francisco pier court. that is coming up later as well. i also wanted to mention i was introducing a resolution today. some of you may have read in the newspapers that on september 24, the fbi raided homes and offices of a number of union activists in minneapolis and chicago. it is notorious because it is reminiscent of the notorious,

supervisor mar: would like to continue this item for november 9, 42 below weeks. one of the unions would like time to complete their internal process with the gardening -- with the bargaining team. president chiu: that is seconded by supervisor daly. without objection, this will be continued to november 9. >> items 26 through 32 are the ordinances that pertain to repealing and replacing various codes or sections of codes and incorporating various sections of the california vote, including the 2010 california green building standards code and other san francisco amendments, providing the operative date of january 1, 2011 for the fire code, the building code, the electrical code, and mechanical code. president chiu: these are passed on the first reading. >> item 33 is an ordinance amending the environment code requirement to require any person who produces a drug offered for sale to participate in an approved drug stewardship program for the collection and disposal, and to provide for implementation, enforcement, fees, and penalties. supervisor mirkarimi: colleagues

supervisor mar? supervisor mar: making sure the department of environment is included, lines 14 and 16, so what does recommend we add in the department of the environment. and -- so what i would just recommend is that we add in the department of the environment. supervisor maxwell: 01 to thank the city staff. they have done a remarkable job. this has really been a great exercise, and i feel it will bring benefits, even if we do not get the cup. this has been a good exercise. i am not going to say that. "when the cup comes." [applause] yes, i am extremely excited. thinking about our bay and what it means to us, and as time goes on, about our bay and its health, and i hope that we will use this as an opportunity to get people thinking about our bay and delta and water and where it comes from. where it comes from. there is a tremend

supervisor mar. supervisor mar: i would like to move the reappointment of commissioner lee roy king -- leroy king. supervisor campos: let me make a very brief comment about some of the remarks that were made, especially the last one. as i indicated the first time i said anything about my view of this reappointment, i do not know that i would agree on everything and every vote the commissioner or for that matter any commissioner has taken on a number of commissions. the reality is that there are some times when we have differences of opinion. but we have a responsibility to look at the reappointment as a whole. i think that testimony illustrates in my view, as a whole, there's simply no basis i can think of at this point to oppose this reappointment, and i will be happy to cast my vote in support of commissioner king today. supervisor alioto-pier. supervisor alioto-pier: thank you very much. i'm sorry i'm late. i stuck my head in theory it is leroy heer -- i stuck my head in. is leroy here? you handso

i am joined by david chiu, and eric mar will be joining us. i want to thank the clerk and the folks at channel 26 for bringing us live. >> please turn off any cellular phones or pagers. any documents to be included should be submitted to the clerk. the mets will appear on october 2. chairperson maxwell: will you read items one, too, and three together? >> item 1, ordinance accepting public infrastructure improvements along fourth street, channel street, and third street, including sidewalks. item two, public infrastructure improvements for mission bay south blocks 10 through 10 and a. item 3, at mission bay south storm water. pump # 6. >> all of these a been approved by the department of city planning, which has determined that the improvements put in place are in conformity with the city's general plan. the director of public works has issued a completion for each agency and has determined that the construction was done in accordance with mission bay south. all three items met those criteria, but let us be more specific about the locations. f

supervisor mar: thank you. is there anyone else who would like to speak? , i do customer service at craig's list, though i am not speaking for the company. i have been working with open government on multiple levels. i use some of the more mundane aspects of this every day light using an application by phone to tell me when the next bus is coming, which is a great blessing at times, but i'm stuck on the notion that the move involves trying to talk to the rank and file of any government agency. the people on the front lines often know what is going on better than the people who run things, and if they can get together and suggest things with a commitment from the boss to make things happen, that gets results. that is being done right now in an accelerated way at veterans affairs. it is being done similarly at hhs, where they are making a move to change the whole culture in this direction. it will government not only includes data, which can be pretty useful, but it also includes new ways of doing things, which is pretty much good for everyone because we all

supervisor mar? supervisor mar: last week, i read them out, and they were really in response to some suggestions, and we feel that it strengthens the ordinance. i wanted to acknowledge that the last meeting, we heard from dozens of parents, pediatricians, public health officials, community based organizations, testifying in support of the legislation. i also won in to note acknowledge -- to acknowledge people who love been fighting for health year,raoÑ more livabe communities, as well -- who have been fighting. we also have heard from the national level who have been active on corporate responsibility and corporate accountability levels around the country, as well, so i wanted to make knowledge the strong support at the last hearing. i also wanted to just again reiterate that this is a modest step forward in san francisco to address what many, officials acknowledged at the last meeting is an obesity epidemic in san francisco. i have repeated to a number of reporters that i have been talking to frequ
