SPECIAL ORDER 2:00 P.M. - Mayor's Appearance Before The Board
(This item will be read at the Board Meeting on the second regularly scheduled meeting each month.
The Mayor and the Board may not discuss matters that have already been considered in Committee
and that are on the Board's Regular Agenda as an action item.
By supermajority vote of the Board of Supervisors (8 votes), the Board may, by oral motion, allow an
eligible District Supervisor to ask a question that was not previously posed if the question relates to a
sudden or unexpected incident or occurrence raising formal, time-sensitive policy questions that were
not anticipated prior to the posting of this agenda. Public comment for this item will take place during
general public comment.)

Board of Supervisors Meeting Agenda Tuesday, March 13, 2012
1. 120177 [Formal Policy Discussions - March 13, 2012]
Pursuant to Charter Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code Section 2.11,
the Mayor shall answer the following eligible questions submitted from Supervisors
representing District's 3, 5, 9, and 11. The Mayor may address the Board initially for up
to five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes per Supervisor.
1. Mr. Mayor, in November 2007, the voters of San Francisco passed Proposition I,
which created the Office of Small Business to support small businesses, among other
things, in complying with the laws and regulations administered by the 14 City
departments that impact small business. As drafted by the Small Business Commission,
Prop I specifically stated that within four months of the Office's opening, the Office "shall
issue a report that analyzes the existing laws, regulations, roles, procedures and
responsibilities of all City departments that impact small businesses and make
recommendations regarding the streamlining and consolidation of such departmental
functions under the Office of Small Business."
However, as of today, four years later, the Office has not issued that report, nor made
any such recommendations, and the executive branch has not yet engaged in efforts to
streamline or consolidate the functions of the 14 different City departments from which
80,000 small businesses must seek approvals to do business in San Francisco.
Mr. Mayor, will you commit to carrying out the mandates of Proposition I to streamline
City government to help small businesses, and will you commit to delivering a report
within the next four months with recommendations that you will act on? (Supervisor
Chiu, District 3)
2. With the dissolution of the San Francisco Redevelopment Agency on February 1,
2012, and the new formation of the Redevelopment Successor Agency Oversight Board,
what are your plans to ensure that community voices will be heard through the
Community Advisory Committees in a meaningful way, despite the lack of staffing and
shortage of resources? (Supervisor Olague, District 5)
3. There have been news articles claiming that you plan to attach strings to the release
of any rainy day funds to the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD).
Specifically, the articles claim that you will not release funds that will help SFUSD avoid
teacher lay-offs unless the district sells off its surplus property. Whether selling surplus
property is a good way of budgeting is an open question. Those of us who have
supported the rainy day fund are concerned that these comments, if true, are
inconsistent with the letter and spirit of the rainy day fund, which already outlines how the
funds are supposed to be distributed. Can you please explain your position, and what
would you say to the thousands of parents who may be concerned about what has been
reported? (Supervisor Campos, District 9)
4. Although District 11 has some great parks and we are adjacent to San Francisco's
second largest park - McLaren, our streets lack the robust urban forest that other districts
benefit from. I have worked closely with the Department of Public Works and Friends of
the Urban Forest to increase our district's green space and green canopy, however,
there is much more we can do. Given that we just celebrated the 140th Anniversary of
Arbor Day in District 11 this past weekend, I would like to know what the City's intention
is towards completing the Alemany Street Greening Project. Currently, the median has
only been greened from Lyell to Niagara. Does the City have plans to green the
remainder of Alemany from Niagara to the Daly City border? And if so, what is the
timeline for this plan? (Supervisor John Avalos, District 11)

Discussion: The Mayor shall discuss the eligible questions with the Board of Supervisors.
