motion passes without objections. >> mr. clerk, the item is continued to the-well, to next week. mr. clerk, please call item 2? >> yes, item 2 is ordinance amending the campaign governmental conduct code to create permit priotorization task force responsible for recommending permit prioritization guidelines to department of building inspection, planning department and public works requiring the review and update the permit prioritization guidelines periodly and requiring each commission to oversee each department to approve the department permit prioritization guidelines. >> thank you mr. clerk. i appreciate supervisor safai leadership on this and he is a member of this committee and prepared to speak to it, supervisor safai, the floor is yours. >> thank you chair. colleagues, this is-i feel a pretty straight forward piece

of legislation but i want to give background how it came about. in terms of priority processing, there are certain categories that make for individuals or sponsors or others to want to put forward something, whether it is affordable, whether it adds to the city housing stock in great need, so in this instance this came about a as result of a issue in my district. if you-many may recall but was a strong champion and have been a strong champion of home sf program to create more density, affordable housing and get more housing in the city. essentially zoning incentives and affordable housing with market rate housing together and after we passed it we wanted to see more home sss f projects not just in my city but city wide so we

push project sponsors to consider it and a number submitted applications in my district in particular, but what we found out was the planning department to their credit were and are prioritizing home sf projects, but department of building inspection and public works were not, and so it isn't helpful to have one department and others that are part of this process not prioritize. dpw has not updated that priority processing list since 2014, and working-when we brought this to the attention of the department of building inspection, director orearden did pake the change of the priority processing. we worked with the city attorney highlighting this as a need and wanting to bring parallel to what the planning department is doing. but we

shouldn't have to go throughs this on a individual basis. it should be the city should have a list of priority permit processing so this process should be inform ed and driven by data and looking what we are trying to accomplish based on the priortaz of the city and data. in this case you have a program with home sf doing affordable housing, market rate housing, greater density, greater number of units. the result is stakeholder and commission input done in a public meeting and that way we have the opportunity for there to be a public vetting of the process. but we should allow individual department said the flexibility to have department specific priorities that may not be shared by other departments so each has its own flexibility but meeting the common goal of a particular policy objective. but this is also how in my mind how you also root out

corruption, because these department by making it clear to them and clear by our permit department and what they prioritize and why they are prioritizing not based on individual relationships or individual circumstances. so, what you have before you is a ordinance that amends chapter 4 section 3.4 of the campaign government conduct code to require the creation of a permit prioritization task force responsible for developing a recommended city wide list of prioritize permits and projeblth types and recommending guidelines department of building inspection, planning department and the department of public works. requiring those departments to review and update their permit prioritization guidelines periodically and requiring the commission that oversees each department to approve the

departments permit prioritization guidelines and that again goes back to the public vetting and public process for it. we did have some additional edit said in here we handed outd today to clarify the task force is recommendation and not binding departments. given this is created by ordinance it doesn't have the power to override the commission and charter authority but felt it was important to have a specific group focusing on this then advising the commissions and their departments and as we understand the city attorney has deemed that these are non substantive. so, that's it colleagues. if there is any questions, happy to answer them, but we felt at the end of the day-i know we have folks here from the planning department. i don't know if dan snyder wanted to hop in and say anything. nope, just here to look good. okay, great.

[laughter] thanks for being here, dan. >> great. thank you supervisor safai. i don't see any other question from colleagues. i will just say that i know it may seem counter intuitive sometimes we need process to speed process, but it has been my experience in city government that there are task forces in particular in the city attorney office over the years i have seen a code enforcement task force that brought together a lot of different departments with a lot of different skills and areas of expertise to speed the process, so while it may be we don't need another task force or commission, i think the realty is that having a task focused task force really can be something that improves the operation of city government for everybody involved, so i want to express my appreciation to supervisor safai for that. mr. clerk, can we open up to public comment? >> yes, members who

wish to speak and joining in person should line up to speak at this time. for those listening remotely on the call in line press star 3 to enter the speaker linement those in the queue, continue to wait until the system indicates you are unmuted and you with with begin your comment. no parties in the room, checking the call-in line- >> one here. >> good morning, joe kelly is my name. i got in here just as you were closing the public comment on item 1 and i made my way down here so i wanted to just say that-i could speak on this as well but i wont. efficiency of government, i'll just address this and the other one, it boggles my mind the inefficiency of this government and the fact item 1 is

tabled with a gentleman who has basically- >> my apologies, i hate to- >> that's fine. >> item 1 was not tabled, it was continued. >> continued. whatever. the person that-there is a person that is up for the commission appointment that basically wrote- >> okay, again, we take comment on item 1. >> on this, the permitting process, just because i'm here and i am small business man and do insurance in the city and-it is monday morning and will give your jolt of coffee, it is absurd what you are talking about. it is so broken that-i'll just say that. i was here for the other item, but this discussion, it is really depressing and i care

about city government. i served on it civil grand jury, 8, 10 years ago and i just would really ask you folks to contemplate what you're doing, because it is not serving the public interest i don't believe. anyway, have a good one. >> thank you. no further speakers in the room, just like to note, we do not have any call in speakers on the matter. i believe we can close public comment. >> thank you mr. clerk. public comment is now closed. supervisor safai would you like to make a motion? >> yeah, i want to add one more bit of clarity so folks know that the task force the group will be lead by the san francisco permit center director and their area of city government, which we think is appropriate and just for clarity for those listening, the campaign in

government code requires all permits as they come before can department said are treated equally to insure there isn't corruption and favoritism, however, unless the departments declare a priority permit and provide administrative bulletins to memorialize why they are prioritizing something and in this instance we have asked that when someone or some project sponsor is creating affordable housing and greater density and greater housing, we want that to be prioritized, we want that to move faster through the process. hundred percent affordable should be prioritized and in this instance home sf is in exchange for much greater levels of affordability and greater density. we want that to be prioritized as well and so we found there was unevenness in the application so that was the genesis why we did this. anyway, thank you. and then just one last thing,

the reason this task force expires, one of the amendments on page 8-6, is we have to provide a date for a-expiration date for a task force so-so-is that not right? anyway,wy did, so it will expire unless it is extended and hopefully good work has been done and there's a lot of clarity in terms of moving forward. thank you. i like to make a motion to accept these amendments that we have in front of you today that i distributed. >> thanks. mr. clerk, roll call on that. >> on the motion to amend the ordinance, that will be vice chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, aye. chair dorsey, aye. the motion passes without objection. >> now we can make a motion to send this to full board with positive

recommendation. >> on the motion to- >> as a-minded. >> walton aye. safai, aye. dorsey, aye. motion passes. >> on unanimous vote permit prioritization task force moves to the full board with positive recommendation. and mr. clerk, please call item 3. >> yes, item number 3 is a motion amending the bord of supervisors rules of order by amending 3.25 and 3.25.1 and striking rule 3.31 young desolve the youth young adult and family committee. >> thank you mr. clerk, this item introduced by supervisor hillary ronen who chairs the committee and she has some brief remarks i'll share. desolving the yuth

young adult family committee the board is no way deprioritizing youth and education issues. we will continue to engage in these issues by channeling hearings and legislation as needed to other committee assignments a well as through the work each district office does doing support youth in san francisco in partner ship with sfusd, dcyf and other important youth base #d organizations. i want to echo supervisor ronen's sentiment as someone who served for a short time on that committee a few months as did supervisor safai. i really appreciate the work of the staff at usd and dcyf and hearings that took place at that committee. this is a area that i was-relative newcomer to joining the board, but i learned a lot and one thing that i think is really going to be a challenge that is with us is to remember that we have

kids who went through a period of time where they didn't have school during the covid lock down and we are going to have too cognisant of that in our work around youth and young adult and educational issues, so i want to express appreciation to supervisor ronen for her leadership on this and echo her commitment that this is not something-the fact we are getting rid of the committee does not mean we are in any way getting rid of the important work in front of us. mr. clerk-don't know if there other comments from colleagues? seeing none- >> i agree hundred percent, and we will continue to take up issues for children youth and families and many different committees we sit on, and i would just add i think one of the most lasting and consequential things i have done on the board grew out of that committee which was prop g which is setting

significant dollars aside as opportunities at doing enrichment for math and reading literacy and helping close the achievement gap as referred to, building on so much that has been done in the city, but unfortunately many times a lot of the work is funded in very short stints. good work and good momentum is created and funding removed and we created a opportunity building on the success of thing s we learned from covid from the work of department children youth and family and board of supervisors and the board of education and sfusd, so those schools that are the most under-resourced in the city will have the opportunity to create community school model and have enrichments other schools have

benefited from for years because they had strong pta. anyway, i just want to say that tremendous work done by chair ronen, supervisor melgar, all of those-supervisor walton, everyone involved in this process, but i have to say one of the most consequential things i have been a part of and grew out of that committee and we'll continue that work. thank you. >> thank you supervisor safai and echo your appreciation for the leadership on the stud ntd success fund which i was a latecomer today but proceed proud to be cosponsor. can we open up to public comment? [providing instructions for public comment]

no persons in the room for public comment, there is nobody on the phone line for public comment at this time. >> okay. thank you mr. clerk. public comment on item 3 is now closed. i like to make a motion to snd this item to full board with positive recommendation. mr. clerk, roll call on the motion. >> yes. on that motion, vice chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, aye. chair dorsey, aye. the motion passes without objection. >> thank you mr. clerk. that item goes to full board with positive recommendation. mr. clerk, please call item number 4. >> item 4 is resolution approving the use of city corporate seal for the purpose of jackets for district 6 supervisor dorsey and staff that identify them as members of the board of supervisors and board of supervisors staff representing district 6. >> thank you mr. clerk. colleagues, section 1.6 of our

administrative code governs the use of the corporate seal in the law but what we know as the city seal of the city and county of san francisco, which i think we all know is a well recognized brand that features the rising phoenix alongside visual reference and mining and navigation history. i represent downtown district with several different union ambassador programs and dont think my district unique in having residents who appreciate the high visibility of public servants where city contractors or community ambassadors representing their role when they serve in the public role. for some time i have been working with staff to explore options how we might represent our office when we have public facing roles out in the community and we all agreed we think it is more important then ever we should be visible representation of the city we

serve and the board of supervisors when working in this public capacity. this past weekday i was with staff and we were at the leukemia and lymphoma society, big event to support efforts that that organization does to cure blood cancers and we were at oracle park with the firefighters and there was a lot of public entities and private entities representing visibly their teams, and we didn't have any representation. i think people who recognized us were appreciative, but it wasn't showing the support of the city that we could have been and i think could have made a difference. we went to a meeting with equality california board. the same thing. some people know me and some dont but think showing the support of the city and board of supervisors for a important community based organization. we went to oasis for

legalized drag event for a community that is under siege in many parts of the country. i think this would have been important to show visible representation of the city. and went to the holy event the celebration from south asian community that involves a lot of colored chalk and might have taken the jacket off for that one because it was a little messy, but a lot of fun. when we are showing up for our city and our public roles whether as matt dorsey or (indiscernible) we love our city as individuals of course, but also serve our city proudly as city employees, and i talked to them about it and we agreed it would mean a lot we think for those we serve to see us and to recognize we are public servants acting on our residents behalf separate from this also aware there is one community

ambassador program in-pretty visible district 6 office of civic engagement and immigrant affairs. they have the florescent jackets with city seals. it is my understanding their seals may not be authorized so i want to take steps to retroactively authorize them because i want to make sure for the same reason they have a lotf ofans in the neighborhood and people appreciate seeing them and understanding this is the city that is there. so, i hope-i want to makesure we are respecting the process of the administrative code. this is something we should do thoughtfully and have policies around it. i want to make sure this isn't something we are cheapening the brand and when we wear the city seal we are doing so in a way that reflects the high expectations our residents have of us and think when you put our city name on our uniform whether it

is stef curry or steve young or anybody-there is high expectations for excellence and think that is-and integrity and think that is true of my office. i think that is true of the members of the board of supervisors i serve with and think it is true with the excellent staff all of them have that we will take this seriously, but i hope i can get support for the authorization of the city seal on office jackets. with that, i guess i dont know if there is comments from colleagues? if i can invite up the clerk of the board, angela. >> good morning chair dorsey and members of the committee. i ran down the hall, forgive me. angela. clerk of the board. pursuant to administrative code 1.6 as you know, the clerk of the board is the constodeian of the steel and the space i occupy with that item is that when

there are requests that come to the board of supervisors for usage of the seal that the clerk of the board is authorized to provide approval upon review of the look and feel and style of what that city seal-the placement of the seal. i have done that the last 16 years and my predecessors as well 6789 the style guide is such that when there is an item that is requested, that it is slightly-yes, it may be the official business, but there might be considerations associated with it. that is generally when i ask that the board of supervisors get a toint to opportunity to review and there are times you see the city seal come for adoption without reference to committee portion of the agenda. with this particular item, it is the first time we received

an official request in writing to utilize the city seal, and with the intention that this move forward. my request that a resolution be placed in front of the board of supervisors was not to say no to the request, but to just bring up the consideration. the considerations i mentioned to your staff and your office are, any liability to the city, if an individual is wearing the jacket is hurt. if there-with the city receive the jacket back from an individual who might not be in your employment any further and so while there are several departments and agencies and programs that are definitely utilizing the city seal on clothing, it did not come to the board of

supervisors for usage and so we had not had the opportunity to have the conversation around these considerations mostly for the city protection, for the individual's protection and so that is why that item is also here before you today. f it is again not to say that it is not a worthy usage of the city seal. would never want to say that, but there are some things to consider. i'm available for questions if there were to be any. thank you. >> great. thank you so much madam clerk. i agree. i will say as-i am not a lawyer, but i worked most of my career with lawyers and spent of my career in city government and city attorney office. there is a reason there are laws and should respect that and think that is why it is important we go through the process administrative code provides. and we should be able to hear concerns and i know one of them

for example, if somebody leaves city service, we dont want official looking gear out there. i know when i worked in the police department, there were jackets and there was actually a badge. i was always nervous having to have a badge because i was worried there is a expectation i will be able to do something useful in a emergency and that isn't a well placed expectation. even-i quickly gave that-this is no longer my role and giving that back as well as my jacket. i appreciate your participation in this and i really do want to make sure we respect the process of what the administrative code provides, so making sure we are doing this the right way is really what matters. thank you for that. colleagues, i don't know if there is comment? can we open this up to public comment? >> yes [providing instructions for

public comment] we have speaker in the room at this time. >> thank you chair dorsey, vice chair walton. i applaud this item. this is a excellent item. i think it will look great on whatever-which ever garment to attach the seal and think it will reflect great. it reflect very nicely on the work you do. you guys-i know this board is-very proud to be here and to listen to the activities and the discussions that occur, and i hope to be a part of the solutions that you guys are providing or making.

when i first started working for the city, i got a seal myself. i work frd the sheriff department and i got a badge. my uniform said san francisco sheriff department cadet and that was a very very proud moment for me. i got the uniform for the first time, got into my car and was in a hanger and hanged it up in the car and if you were passing by the car you saw my uniform. you knew i was part of the sheriff department, and that makes me proud. that makes everybody proud. this is a great item. i urge you to pass it to the full board for consideration with positive recommendations and let's make this happen. thank you. >> thank you. moving on to our public call in line, can we have our first caller? >> can you hear me now? yes,

please proceed. >> great. david pillpel, good morning. interesting item. thank you for the thoughtful comments from chair dorsey and clerk of the board calvio. it is in my experience rare, but not without precedent that items come before the board for use of the seal. i would note that the mayor declared a emergency over a year ago in the tenderloin and took certain actions as did the rest of the city to address concerns in the tenderloin. it seems to me like one of the easier things that can be done to improve the visibility of supervisor dorsey and his staff is to approve this particular use of the city seal on jackets. it

is certainly not go toog clean up the tenderloin or address the myriad of problems there, but i think having a presence that indicates when the supervisor and staff are out that they care and are in the community doing work is a very good positive sign. i have no objection and in fact support the proposed use. i did have at least one thing in the legislation to bring up i think on page 2, line 8, the word "termination". i would suggest replacing that with the word separation. upon separation from the board of supervisors and page 2 line 19, the time period through november 3, 2026 makes it look like it is more elect torl related. i

suggest (indiscernible) >> your time has elapsed. thank you. just checking to see if we have additional speakers. that was our last telephone speaker and believe we can close public comment at this time. >> thank you mr. clerk. public comment on item number 4 is now closed. can i ask-i appreciate the comment and the observation from mr. pillpel and don't disagree. can i ask deputy city attorney, is that a substantive amendment? >> no, those amendments could be made today. >> okay. i like to make a motion then to substitute the word separation for termination and to move the date reference for the end of the period that was one thing that did-i like the idea of let's bring this back for reauthorization. i like sunsetting things because we can try it. mr.

(indiscernible) the date referenced i move that we amend that to say it will end at noon january 8, 2027. >> january 8, 2027? >> correct. and could we have a motion amending- >> on the motion to amend? vice chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, absent. chair dorsey, aye. the motion passes without objection with supervisor safai being absent. >> and could we now have-could i move to positive

recommendation? >> would you like to go out as committee report? >> sure, yeah. actually, we can just are send it- >> okay. recommended as amended not as a committee report? >> correct. >> on is that motion, vice chair walton, aye. supervisor safai, absent. chair dorsey, aye. the motion passes without objection with supervisor safai being absent. >> okay. thank you mr. young. on unanimous vote use of city corporate seal moves to full board with positive recommendation. and before we call the next item i want to-i see we have visitors i like to recognize. ellen, can we introduce- >> would you like to introduce your class? >> you want to come up

to the--so we can say hello? >> hi, good morning. this is (indiscernible) elementary second great, room 208. >> thank you second graders. grateful for you to be here. i was actually a second grader when i was-i was like a government nerd. hopefully maybe some will be sitting in these seats. welcome to the board of supervisors, to the rules committee. i think this is. is there anymore business? >> that completes the agenda for today. >> okay, we have no further business. thank you everyone, we are adjourned.

[meeting adjourned] >> you are watching san francisco rising with chris manners. today's special guest, carolyn mante. >> hi, i'm chris

manners and you are watching san francisco the stow about restaffing rebuilding and reimaging the city. the guest is carolyn manteto talk about the organization is helping to preserve the city cultural heritage and architecture. welcome to the show. >> thank you for having me e. >> good to have you here. >> can we talk bat the history of your organization and the mission. >> sure, thank you. san francisco heritage started 51 years ago and the main mission is to preserve and enhance the architectural and cultural identity of san francisco. when it started out the focus was really on the buildings, historic landmark listings and really concentrated on downtown area with all the development happening. our organization was raising a reg red flag with historic landmarks in danger and victorian mansions so a hallmark of our

organization is moving these victorian mansions in the way of development to inwestern addition neighborhood and other areas to get out of the way of development and preserve them. our organization was around before there was the historic preservation commission of the city so we were at the forefront drawings attention to historic preservation, landmarking and over the last 51 years we have seen how there are more then just buildsings in safeguarding the city cultural resources, there is also small businesses and the different neighborhood icons that make a neighborhood special, so our outreach has really-it is really come full circle in a way because it moved downtown into the neighborhoods and now with the covid epidemic it is really going back to downtown again looking at how we can play a role in the economic recovery and revitalization of

downtown san francisco. >> that's great. so, now i understand your organization is also responsible for maintaining a couple properties. could you tell us a little about those? >> yes, our non profit was gifted in 1973, the historic (inaudible) house. it is now a historic house museum but this was a family since 1886 built this victorian mansion in the same family year after year and one of the last resident of the family when she passed way gifted the mansion to san francisco heritage so since then we have been running this historic house and the home of our office. in 2018, one of the long time members nor aa lasten gifting a building on the e h-as hate polk

became a commercial corridor after the earthquake, the owner at the time, he raised the house and put 6 store front underneath in order to take advantage of the commerce so we are in charge of the house on the corner and it has been a wonderful way to get new numbers, new audiences interested in the work of our organization. during the pandemic, we have been using it as a artson residents and partnering with different bay area artists as well as cultural institutions, cultural districts and then one of the storefronts we converted into a pop up galleries so gives a opportunity to raise awareness of the importance of the art and cultural resources in san francisco. >> that's fantastic. so, now, let's talk about legacy business. what does the designation mean? how

does somebody get add today the legacy business registry and what benefits does being named a legacy business? >> i love this program. it was started by san francisco heritage and adopt ed by the city and run by the office of small business but the program looks what are the businesses really contributing to san francisco and the neighborhood. when we started the first focus was bars and restaurants but over the years it exb panded to include other businesses so these are places that contribute to the character of a neighborhood, so sam's grill downtown, the amazingarian press in the presidio. book stores like city lights oergreen apple recently named. this year we had a lot of attention on the legacy business program. we put out a contest to the public of what you think

should be the next legacy business and one of the businesses that was recommended was the club deluxe, jazz club on the corner, and 2 or 3 days after we launched the contest, the owners announced they would have to close. the rent was driven up, they couldn't afford it, coming out of the pandemic so we worked at speed to get that application submitted with them and that status convinced their landlord to negotiate with them a lower rent and this way they have been able to stay, there was a lot of social media support around this, so when you become a legacy business, not only do you get marketing and business support from the office of small business, but you also eligible for grants and we work closely with the legacy businesses as we do our work for san francisco heritage. >> that's great. so, apart from architecture and buildings, you also work with

cultural districts, and the castro theater strikes me as a place that is both. a beautiful building and cultural hub and center. what has been happening with the recent acquisition by new owners; >> it is leased to another planet entertainment and been in contact with planet entertainment by the castro theater is historic land mark building. it is recognized as a very important architectural monument. one thing-one of the main activist organizations of the preservation of the theater we work together with supervisor mandelman on a interior landmark historic landmark designation for interior, but what

happened over the is summer and people learned is there is a lot of concern not just by san franciscans but people all over the world, movie directors, stars who are very concerned about the risk to the lgbtq and film programming at the castro theater. another planet hosted community stakeholder in august, and it was so moving to see the number of people who took the microphone-everyone had two minutes to say their testimony of what castro theater meant to them and those testimonys showed this building is contributing not just as a architectural monument but plays a role in the lgbtq community that is irrelaceuble able. >> it is beautiful theater. >> it is. my

involvement in the theater raised awareness to not only the castro theater to be emblematic of the lgbtq culture and history but also there are many other sites in the city that also contribute to the identity. that is why so many people come to san francisco as a place of freedom and diversity so in my previous work i worked at the world heritage center, so when i joined san francisco heritage i was thinking why isn't san francisco a world heritage city? for the architecture alone it could be inscribed. golden gate bridge to name a few but the city is so unique in the architecture, the mansioned and historic landmarks so hoping to start a conversation on that with city stakeholders this year. >> that is great. let's talk about your relationship with other agencies. you

mentioned economic and office of work force development and planning commission. how do you unt integrate to them? >> these relationships are essential. we are working with office of small business for the legacy business program and the planning department is really one of our most crucial relationships. we meet quarterly with them and we really see how we can support not only historic land mark listings and historical cultural context statements, strategy for culture districts and city survey among many other activities that really are of concern to both of us. for the office of workforce development, i attended a etmooing recently that the chamber of commerce organized with them on the downtown revitalization and a key goal in that meeting and in the downtown revitalization is to make sure that the
