the commission in their judgment the comment period should be extended the commission takes a vote simply because the ero went through her analysis not to exceed didn't mean the commission can't do so. >> thank you commissioner richards and i think hester mentioned something about the mayor's office with the mo d would you that that is extraordinary circumstances with multiple files and places hard to get to them. >> that's really a case by case question you know the draft eir is intended to contain the information this is the review period of the draft eir specifically. >> i think the access to file you know an important issue in its own right may or may not have any bearing on whether the review period for the draft eir is sufficient okay. thank you. >> commissioners that place you under general public comment not to exceed 15 minutes all matters listed hereunder constitute a consent calendar, are considered there will be no separate discussion of these items which event the matter shall consent calendar and considered as a separate item at this or a future hearing. i have no speaker ca

in the reports of the commission of angry. these measures must put an end to the climate of impunity. this must allow for accountability. we urge the dprk to offer access to the special -- the special rapporteur for the special procedures. that is to say freedom of movement and interviews with security arrangements made for the special rapporteur and those he interviews. given the gravity of the situation in the dprk, we believe this first meeting is a measure headed in the right direction. this is an initiative we support and that we supported in a meeting of the security council last april. we hope this can be repeated regularly. thank you very much. >> i think the representative of chile for his statement, and i give the floor to the representative of rwanda. >> mr. president, let me thank you. we are pressing that the situation in the democratic people's republic of korea be formally based on the agenda -- placed on the agenda of the security council. reward the is a country that established the worst -- rwanda is a countr

work of the commission. slawson did almost all the work, slawson was very intrigued by what happened in mexico city and wanted desperately to try to get to the bottom of what happened down there. unfortunately, what we now know is that a tremendous amount of information about what went on in mexico city was never shared with slawson, was never shared with the commission and i think it's fair to say the commission never got to the bottom of what actually happened in mexico. >> this is an artifact that the national archives allowed us to videotape. it's oswald's address book. that's the cover of it. and then inside is this page. consulate of cuba, and then name, sylvia duran. >> sylvia duran turns out to be arn important figure in all this. the warren commission staff saw her as an important figure in all this. she's a young mexican woman, a committed socialist, who is employed by the cuban consulate in mexico city. and she is the person who dealt face-to-face with oswald while he's trying to get the visa and

and we decided as a commission that because both the president and vice president of the commission were not here that it would be better to wait until they come back so we will be doing that at the january meeting and that there will be a closed session and that we will do my performance appraisal and in an advertisetation we are going to be serving the senior so you can get the sense of my performance and not just my self-apraysal or your experience of me, it is a first for us, as a department to do that and so we are going to pilot it, and our intention is to do a much broader, what we called climate survey and i don't mean that like the climate change but the culture survey of the department to all staff and we are working on that now, and it is going to take some care to make sure that the questions make sense and that it is going to take the appropriate type of implementation and introduction and so the staff understand what it is they are seeing, because it is never been done for the department. so that, and you will see, just the senior staff information and then next year's perf

for the commission. i think they felt it would be important to have that sort of professional staff, whether on a full-time basis or part-time basis, and in discussions with the board of supervisors about this on the report we fell that the board of supervisors were more likely to take this forward than the ethics commission staff and we'd hope that you would look at it as part of the next budget hearing and sort of leave it back in your court for further action. there are also a number of items in the resolution that the board of supervisors adopted last september after this committee acting that called for further action by the board of supervisors right around this time so i'm not sure how you're putting that information forward. thank you. >> thank you. are there any other members of the public who'd like to provide public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay, so there are lists of recommendations from the board and specifically for items 2, 11, 16, 18 and 21. i will star

or not the commission is saying something in the motion about it. these three bullets actually change conditions of the planning code. so i would recommend against incorporating these as is if the commission wanted to incorporate them. i would recommend some edit so they are more parallel with the planning code. but it is true, these procedures kick in for violations whether or not the planning commission states it in the motion. so it's not necessary, but if the commission wanted to do that i would recommend the edits so it's in the planning code. >> it is already related to enforcement in section 176 which calls up to 250-day penalty and it would be less. there is another condition related to abandonment and in the castro street neighborhood market district abandon conditional use is 18 months and this would be a longer period. i think the code already addresses a lot of these issues very well. >president cindy wu: commissioner johnson? >> >commissioner christine johnson: i'm skipping ahead because we are going to have a lot of conclusions for thi

it didn't even come to the commission sector to the commission. a couple of you got the notice. people who got the eir and eir notice or who attended the hearing or saw it online have no idea what the planning commission, that the planning commission was over ruled by staff. the new deadline is december 17th, which is really going to be difficult because we had an election. it's a 700 page eir, equivalent to a rezoning as well as a project approval. it's carving out an area that isn't in the central soma plan. it's carving out an area that isn't in the downtown, that isn't in the areas that it's going to be rezoned on market street. so, we have become so cavalier that it isn't even noticed to the general public. i don't think that's legal in this city city attorney. i think people have the right to comment period to which that the commission set at the last hearing, not which a couple were informed by an e-mail from the department that have been truncated by the approximate weeks. there is no respect for election no respect for really complicated project and having a 700 page ei

and she would forward them to the ethics commission and with respect to the retirement commission, the board secretary would file them in house and review them. >> so she filed on the 700 form that she had this investment? >> yes, it's been disclosed. >> did she or did she not have to disclose that? >> she did not because her investment was a publicly traded mutual fund. >> the law says it will be ill league ague illegal to make an investment in something that's a private entity. so that's good to know. what exactly -- if we were to approve her appointment, is there any recourse that this body has should we find out at a later date that the ethics commission has found her to be in violation? you may not be the best person to answer this question, i'll defer to the city attorney. say the ethics committee finds her to be in violation, then what? >> deputy city attorney again, the ethics commission typically in that type of situation would impose a monetary penalty. the board secretary would not have any further authority to discipline or remove her. the mayor as the appointing authority

that was the condition on the complaint for live music. >> i think for restoring the restaurant the commission had conditions limiting "the hours" that it could be open already. so we just want to make sure that any limits on the hours in addition to those already made. >> so you are recommending inclusion of this bullet but deleting the first and last sentence. >> i would propose that, yes. >> okay >> the next bullet the project sponsor shall close the doors and the noise shall be adequately controls and the operations should be conducted in a fashion where nearby residents are not affected from patrons and noise vibrations and odors emanating from the use. the phrase "nearby residents are not affected" it's a difficult standard for the city to ascertain. if a resident says i'm affected, the city doesn't have a gauge to figure out what's the violation or the remedy. again, the jeb -- general thought in that bullet is permissible but we wanted to edit it so it has clearer standards. >> that's a big issue in the upper market. are all these conditions actually grounded from prior experience. the

a very dedicated member of the warren commission staff took the original notebook, which the commission had a copy of, and this typewritten summary that the fbi had prepared supposedly for the convenience of the commission and went page by page to see if anything was missing or anything had been misstated in the typewritten version. he discovered the fbi's name and all this other material had been removed in what appeared to be an effort to hide from the warren commission the fact that the fbi did have oswald under what appears to be pretty aggressive surveillance before the assassination. >> there's also a story of an artifact of a letter that oswald wrote to hosty that he himself destroyed, is that true? >> that's an amazing story. we now know that oswald was so agitated about the fbi's surveillance of him and his family before the assassination that he actually went to the dallas field office of the fbi in early november 1963 and presented some sort of letter in which he protested the surveillance. people in the fbi office in dallas would later say that oswald appeared to be very ang

to the warren commission. it created a typewritten version of oswald's notebook and removed hosty's name, apparently in an effort to prevent the warren commission from knowing that oswald knew that this fbi agent had him under surveillance. that the fbi was monitoring his movements. a very dedicated member of the warren commission staff took the original notebook, which the commission had a copy of, and this typewritten summary that the fbi had prepared supposedly for the convenience of the commission and went page by page to see if anything was missing or anything had been misstated in the typewritten version. he discovered the fbi's name and all this other material had been removed in what appeared to be an effort to hide from the warren commission the fact that the fbi did have oswald under what appears to be pretty aggressive surveillance before the assassination. >> there's also a story of an artifact of a letter that oswald wrote to hosty that he himself destroyed, is that true? >> that's an amazing stor

to the commission in the spring of 2015. and these are consistent with the dda requirements related to the alice griffith financing requirements. >> thanks, jeff. so with the approved predevelopment funds for phase 3 which consist of block one the developer and the architect worked on the schematic design application submitted in october. those designs build upon a master plan with community input and the surrounding infrastructure work was also begun in january of this year already in progress and anticipated to break ground next january the block one schematic design included alice griffith tenant meetings and we have representatives from the tenant association here today and i want to have them stand up for a second. we have the president and the parliamentarian. thank you. . you have a cc support letter in your packet. staff has reviewed the application and has determined it's complete and consistent with the dda the bay view hunter's point redevelopment and guidelines allowing for variances under certain conditions and

commissions that places us under commission on items of interest the jurisdiction of the commission except agenda items. with respect to agenda items, your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission for up to 3 minutes. i have no speaker cards. >> is there any general public comment please come forward. >> oh, high i'm anastasia i came out of i came to speak about natural areas and the significant nature management plan, which i think i believe now will come 0 under your consideration in the beginning of next year. >> i hope i ask you to invite 90 san francisco store o first alliance to look at this matter just because the program is a little bit bad and it effects everyone in the city and the plan is awful it calls for the elimination for the 8 trees within the park the san francisco parks and they cut trees all the time here on the this piece of paper an example of the work it happens in 2002 what happened they came to put the natural habitat and starting with i think 25 cutting them down

in the warren commission report. they can look at the original fbi files, the lab files of the lab technicians and scientists who worked at the fbi and did ballistics testing and fiber testing and all of that. those records are all part of the collection. someone could come in and look through them themselves. >> even when you said earlier that that's the rifle that oswald used to kill the president, there are people listening to this that will say, that's not true. >> that's right. what i'm saying is the opinion of the warren commission. i guess i should state that i have no opinion one way or another on this. but that's how it is identified in our records. so that's how i will identify it to you. this is a gray zipper jacket. and the interesting thing, this also ties oswald to the murder of the officer because the -- according to the warren commission, this jacket was found sort of thrown, ditched near where he was killed. and in the route that people saw oswald or who they thought was oswald taken after the killin

the warren commission. the second item that you requested is lee harvey oswald's address book. so this is a custom made container made by our conservation staff. and again, this is acid free, this is mylar, and they've got in handy little lift so that you can get it out of its well without having to pull on it. you can see there's a commission exhibit there, commission exhibit 18, and it has all of his handwritten items including a map, addresses and telephone numbers that you would expect. the final item is a map of mexico city. oswald made a trip to mexico city prior to the assassination and brought this map home. this was acquired by dallas police and the fbi and eventually the warren commission as well. this side of the map they have a sort of smaller map with tourist spots which are identified on the side. as you can tell certain things were circled. it was like that when we received it. obviously, we wouldn't add anything like that. the back side is a larger map. again, with several items circled. i h

the planning commission should only take discretionary review if the commission finds that profitity of the proposed [tph*-bgtd/] to existing ones are extraordinary and are exceptional circumstances to justify review of the project. and/or to approve the recommended conditions or to improse conditional ones. the planning department staff's review is generally limited to the location and physical characteristics of ncds to ensure their compliance with the zoning code. accordingly staff recommends approval for the following reasons: the ncd complis with all standards and requirements of the planning code, 5400 block as well served by transit, it's more than a thousand feet from primary and secondry schools and any known active permitted youth services facility. and employment levels are estimated to be between 24-30 part-time employees and the following conditions have recommended for imposition on the project col cot the operator shall mantain the main entrance and all sidewalks abudget the property in clean condition and maintenance shall include minimum daily sweeping letter pick-up

the proposed projects that have an impact on the preempt the commission will have the opportunity to comment under sequa this could be that opportunity. >> right. right >> commissioner hyland. >> so the historic resources that have existed on this property have been determined not to be historic because of the lack of integrity and there's no mitigation measures as far as articulating this project forward so that whatever historic cultural memories that may or may not existed in this project because it's been determined lacking in integrity we can't ask for mitigation of an interpreted there a unfortunately, this project is one project that doesn't have a positive lens on our society and so quite often there's a challenge between forgetting those types of things and celebrating the importance of why it was envisioned to be such a great idea to begin with and so we don't - i'd like to offer or ask for some documentation of what this site represents at least the original site not the annex but being the first housing development site in san francisco now with a full demolition how is -

our commissions are jointly be presented the report's findings. at the staff level i am looking forward to hearing the responses of my commission from what they learned from the enernex report and the dialogue they can have you at the public setting in the joint meeting. i think that is an opportunity for us at the staff level to get additional guidance what work we should be performing to be responsible to our commissioner's needs so that's what i am looking for at the staff level as a next step. i do want to say i believe we're among the first of the commenters on the prior draft providing feedback to mr. fried on the 20th of november and in advance of the commitment for your meeting in early december for your meeting today, and i expect that we will be equally responsive and collaborative with him prior to the joint meeting so that we can get the commission good information to then give us guidance from. >> okay. thank you. mr. fried is there a reason why we chose to do the joint meetings, do a presentation with both the puc and lafco rather th

the rest will come before you if scheduled at the next commission meeting as the project through the mta for the balance. so you will see that in the future. i think that's the primary information that i wanted to present. i wanted to let frank solis from the department of public works to give you an idea of what this looks like. >> commissioners and chair and executive director, my name is frank solis with the san francisco department of public works. the project manager for soma alley ways phase 2. this is a project that we've been partners with the previous redevelopment agency on phase one and this phase here is six alley ways for soma, clemente in a, and we partnered with sf puc for significant storm modification improvements for drainage in these alleys and we are also going to be -- the types of improvement we are going to be installing with this additional funding to help with the cost for raised crosswalks at the intersection, handicap ramps, asphalt, replacement of trees, street alleyway fixtures. these are the new types of improvement and from the funding standpoint total

department as well as the commission. and we are going to be poorer for your leaving, and i hope you know how much we all have appreciated and benefited from your service on this commission. >> thank you, so much. for that. >> i really appreciate it. very, very much. and you all will be very much missed, in the capacity in which i currently know you but i am probably not going very far and may return to be kind of a pain. >> you better. >> thanks. >> any more announcements or any comments on the announcements? >> public comment? >> yes. >> shrada. >> so almost 15 years ago, i sat in monica's seat of the commission secretary and there was a member of the public who came to most of the commission meetings if not all, and that was ruth gravanis and she came to the department with a lot of wonderful ideas, talked about sustainability bio diversity and i am sad to hear that you are leaving the commission. thank you for all of your dedication to the department and to san francisco. >> thank you, so much for that. >> you are one

the reporttoday is of that commission. extensive such an charge sheet of international crimes been brought to this council's-- attention. it documents the denial of freedom of thought, conscience, and religion, as well as the right to freedom of opinion, expression, information, and association. some pacification which calibrates perceived loyalty to stateate -- to the generates discrimination throughout the country. where it intersects with gender-based discrimination nation, it increases the vulnerability of women and limits their opportunities. the dprk has also used the doubt to control itsd people. actions by officials have caused the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, according to the commission, articulately during the famine of the 1990's and has inflicted permanent and psychological injuries on survivors. foodovember 2013, the u.n. and agricultural organization under the world food program found that 84% of households, 8 werefamilies out of 10, not consuming enough food. according to the latest national 20

come to the commission? >> that's right. i think the discussion has been helpful and i think we shall distribute at the annual contract amount matrix that we got from the cfo to everyone so they can see the quantities that we are talking about. any further questions to the finance chair mike if not, then any public,? >> no public comment >> we go onto the next item >> the next item is consent calendar. the items that were just describe the commissioner john >> the consent calendar is before you. it's been moved by the finance and planning committee for items are on it. is there any extractions? otherwise, we will vote on the consent calendar as a whole. >> i move we accept it. >> it has been moved to the committee. so prepare for the vote if there is no further discussion. all those in favor please a aye. opposed? the consent calendar has been accepted. thank you very much. >> thank you measures item 7 is out care master plan determination application review for the jewish home >> good afternoon commissioner

each member of the public may address the commission up to 3 minutes. i have no speaker cards, but i will take a look. >> is there any general public? seeing none, general public is closed. >> item 9, case no. 2015.0515e. this is the potrero hope sf project draft ivory and eis and please note that written comments will be accepted at the planning department until 5:00 p.m. january 5,2015 and i do have several speaker cards. >> okay >> thank you, commission secretary. good afternoon, president wu, members of the commission. rachel, planning department staff. the item before you is a public hearing to receive comments on the draft environmental impact report a joint ceqa neah document prepared by the planning department and mayor's office of housing and community development. again case no. 20150 515 e. i'm joined here today by my colleagues sarah jones environmental review officer, also england flannery from the mayor's office of housing and comment development. members of the project sponsor team are also present. the project site is located on the sout

through the commission. there was a required notice posted on site with a large poster. there was notice that was mailed to all occupants within a certain distance and all owners of property within a larger distance. those occurred as well as newspaper ads so that's the typical way we do i.t. in san francisco through those public notice hear the zoning administrators is the proper of body for those and he has a different appeal process. >> in terms of the timing of the subdivision map, is this -- when was that mappish shubed? i know it's in the -- >> you received the application in september. september 30. >> and was that after the demolition had occurred? >> i don't have that information on here. >> okay. >> hang on a second. >> i guess the other question is, are there project sfon sponsors who will submit their subdivision map while their entitlement process is ongoing or is always after the fact and is it -- obviously this is -- given that that was submitted a long time after the fact. >> it's often while

we ask the commission preserve the building landmark status for architectural and association with rue goldberg preserving both interior features of this building. we are hoping that at some future date this might house the rue goldberg museum. i want to introduce edward yarbrough. >> so, i first wanted to speak a little bit about rue goldberg association and the difficulty we had to make it a concrete association but lots of circumstantial evidence. rue 's father max raised the family at the house on laguna street after rue's mother passed away when the children were quite young. the house was a center of life for the police department, fire definite, -- department, the fire commissioner and police commissioners and fire marshall. the house always had a sense andrew speaks about this in his writing, a sense of, there were poker games, artist, policemen, firemen were made up of a lot of the crowd. so it's not surprising to me that as we see in the directory in 1915 and early 20th century, the primary residence are firemen, musicians, living in these two very large flats and then when t

each member of the public may address the commission up to three minutes. i have one speaker card. >> thank you katherine howard. >> good afternoon, commissioners katrina sf ocean edge i was here for the cultural heritage program i found interesting and it's a great idea we were not successful in protecting golden gate park from the destruction of the soccer field project one a gross misrepresentation that is a pilot way of putting it by the one side they were trying to do and gross out spending of 13 to one $900,000 versus the 70 thousand that we were able to scrape up with that kind of money and with the knowledge that the blinlz who supported it is tough to get the truth out despite those issues almost one hundred thousand people voted yes to support golden gate park this campaign raised awareness of the value of golden gate park and empower is close to the heart of san franciscans and i am still talking to people that are shocked and upset by the results doesn't understand the campaign and the opposition that are people out there unhappy about this this

remind me again when the next commission meetings are. we just had the december meeting but what about in the new year. >> the second and fourth tuesdays of every month. >> okay great. >> okay. >> and i think that concludes my questions and i want to thank staff -- or thank the commissioners for bearing with me as i ask a lot. thank you. >> thank you. commissioner mar. >> i wanted to thank commissioner crews for reviewing the puc commission's meeting because that helps us to understand that it's staff lack of clarity on enernex, some of the data, and i agree with my colleagues, others that have said there is so much urgency with the climate crisis in front of us to move cleanpowersf forward and if we're only talking about redefining the construction jobs or something that seems tiny to the broader overall picture of what we're trying to accomplish and i think this plan set forth by enernex and i know we hear community input on this is setting a manager, available, and achievable plan for san francisco's future. i wanted to say that the en

to the warren commission. he's often referred to as the father of the single bullet theory. can you see him here demonstrating how the single bullet theory would have happened. that the body -- that a bullet passing through the body of this first gentleman, who's silting in for president kennedy, that the bullet would have passed through kennedy and then hit governor connally in the back. the commission staff felt strongly from the earliest days that they needed to go to dallas. they needed to try to reconstruct as much of the assassination scene as they could. they wanted to take the rifle, the one oswald apparently used, they wanted to take it back to the sixth floor of the texas book depository, affix a camera to the top of it and see what oswald would have seen through the scope of his rifle when he was taking the shots. that's what they're doing here with the assistance principally of the fbi. it turns out that chief justice warren did not want to do this reconstruction. he thought it was unnecessary. he

presented to the planning commission and in this abbreviated format, staff's recommendation to the commission is to not take discretionary review and approve the building permit, that concludes my presentation. >> thank you. dr requester, your team has five minutes. >> thank you, geek,president wu and members of the commission i'm susan holey and i'm representing the dr requester. as staff mentioned the request is support by a petition of 59 area residents most of them within the 150' radius and othersust beyond it in the neighborhood, as well as 30 letters from concerned neighbors. i wasn't able to hear all of the last discussion because of the problems with the capacity of the room and the next item that is coming up, but i did see the beginning and it appears there are some overlapping issues in terms of mid-block open space and the blocking nature of the building, but our issue is much simpler than the one you were dealing with. we don't have an interior stair issue or merger or anything that complex. is that going to sh:the first photograph shows the neighborhood as it is and it shows th

and we thought that it would be best to bring it up to the entire commission and let the entire commission decide what we should do, if the commission decides that we should go through the application process, we would and if the commission feels that we should reappoint the two members, we could do that too. there is no rule in the code that says we have to go through an application process. so, that is why we are bringing it up today and see what we should do. commissioner walker? >> i would like to thank the sitting committee members for serving on the access appeals commission, it is really an intergral part of our process of making sure that everyone has access. so, i feel like the issues that are up right now are very complicated and have a history getting to where we are. that these folks have been part of. so, as we go through our legalizing units and solve story program, and the small unit construction, i mean there is many issues coming up that are important and sort of demand a history, and so i support it. and if you need a motion i will move such. >> why don't we see if there

the commission estimates the 25% of gross national product to defense expenditure, and the commission also find mount attrition and starvation could have been avoided through a marginal distribution of state military spending. the commission found and entrenched pattern of discrimination based on the harsh class system, which is systematically applied to against control perceived threats. the extreme restrictions on freedom of movement within north korea and across its borders are designed to maximize state control. punishment for violations are severe, often vicious, and humane. women who are subjected to horrific discrimination resort to international traffickers to escape. the torture they endured as they returned cannot be regarded as a fully domestic concern. one of the cruelest policies of the regime is the system of arbitrary detention and political prison camps. an estimated 80,002 120,000 are -- 80,000 to 120,000 are committed without trial. the commission found the majority had no prospect of ever being released. summary executions and other cruel extradition to show -- extr
