By William Chadwick<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

July 30, 2010<\/p>\n

Tuesday\u2019s protracted meeting of the Board of Supervisors focused on two main points of interest. The most excited moments were found in the ebb and flow over the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan, and Supervisor Sean Elsbernd\u2019s one-man stand in attempting to keep Community Policing and Foot Patrols off the November ballot.<\/p>\n

In the first instance, Supervisors Ross Mirkarimi and Chris Daly were keen to investigate and amend the Bayview Hunters Point Redevelopment Plan (BHPRP) further, before moving forward. On the other side, the board heard Supervisor Sophie Maxwell\u2019s impassioned plea for solidarity from her colleagues in pushing through the plan, thereby bringing \u201chope and change for the people of Bayview and San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n

District 10 Supervisor Sophie Maxwell<\/p><\/div>\n

Maxwell, whose district encompasses the impoverished Bayview and Hunters Point area, argued that a plan this \u201cnecessarily large,\u201d was needed to \u201ctransform a neglected landscape.\u201d But Daly insisted that figures within the plan for affordable housing \u2013 a big sticking point \u2013 were not nearly high enough.<\/p>\n

Affordable housing must be defined, argued Daly, by rental and purchase units that can be afforded by current residents of Bayview and Hunters Point. With such a massive and expensive redevelopment proposal, there is, said Daly, bound to be a \u201cproperty value spike, moving outwards from the area. How will we make sure there isn\u2019t a secondary displacement effect on the inhabitants?\u201d<\/p>\n

However, Michael Cohen, Director of Economic & Workforce Development, who has been working closely with Lennar on this project for many years, countered that, as a percentage of affordable units, \u201c50 percent is not financially viable.\u201d He repeatedly stressed the phrase, \u201cWhat we stand to gain,\u201d in his rhetoric, and made no reference to \u2018what we stand to lose\u2019 if this deal goes sour, whilst reading from a pre-written text in his best monotone \u2013 nearly masking the occasional excited lilt in his voice.<\/p>\n

Cohen\u2019s insistence on pushing through this deal in the face of more prudent requests to examine and possibly improve the terms from every angle was somewhat concerning, and drew similarities with other recent public-private partnership deals that were rushed through without full analysis and investigation<\/a>, including the Sunset Reservoir Solar Project. What does Mr. Cohen have to gain by pushing this deal through for an out of state developer on an un-remediated Superfund site?<\/p>\n

Could it be the political pressure from Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senator Dianne Feinstein, Senator Mark Leno and Mayor Gavin Newsom was so great that political expedience trumped principles of precaution?<\/p>\n

As an employee of this City, why should Cohen be so eager to dismiss any concerned amendments (of which this meeting saw many) by the Board which was merely trying to ensure the City and its residents get the best deal possible, as well as ensure the Superfund site is fully remediated to the highest standards possible before construction begins? Can Mr. Cohen explain why he is so ostensibly and wholeheartedly on the side of Lennar, one of the largest and richest property developers in the country, rather than being keen to secure the maximum amount of affordable homes for the largely disenfranchised residents of Bayview and Hunters Point?<\/p>\n

\u201cIt makes no sense to have affordable housing above the market rate. It\u2019s not affordable to people living in these communities,\u201d Daly said.<\/p>\n

Finally, despite the reservations of many, at 7.40pm, after many \u2018thank yous\u2019 and further emotional speeches, the development plan was passed 10-1, with Supervisor Daly dissenting.\u00a0 The meeting immediately went into recess as the room got to its feet in a mixture of relief and celebration.<\/p>\n

Before the vote was cast, Supervisor David Campos commented, \u201cWe need to re-examine how the Redevelopment Agency works, and whether or not the Board should take over the agency.\u201d<\/p>\n

Elsbernd’s parliamentary obstruction
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

Turning to the other flashpoint of the day, Supervisor Sean Elsbernd, acting in accordance with the mayor’s wishes, attempted to pull a rabbit out of his hat with a parliamentary trick in a transparent attempt to upend efforts by progressives to place a foot patrol ballot measure, sponsored by District 5 Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, on the November ballot.<\/p>\n

Supervisors were provided an opportunity to vote on two versions of the legislation.\u00a0 An amended version included language inserted by Board President David Chiu, that would effectively nullify a Mayor Newsom backed Sit\/Lie measure on the same ballot should the electorate pass Mirkarimi’s foot patrol legislation with with more votes than Sit\/Lie.\u00a0 Elsbernd, knowing full well the amended version of the legislation would pass the Board with 7 votes (only six were needed), attempted to split the file with a motion that does not require a second, but would effectively stall consideration of the legislation beyond the deadline for submitting ballot measures.<\/p>\n

Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi<\/p><\/div>\n

Suddenly there was tension in the air. The journalists in the press box hushed their listless chatter and sat up in their seats. Had Elsbernd really just done this? As an appointee of Mayor Gavin Newsom, one can only assume that this stance was based on not angering Newsom\u2019s strong power base that comes from the SFPD.<\/p>\n

After a moment to gather his thoughts, Supervisor Mirkarimi tabled a motion in response to have the two halves of the motion stuck back together, saying that it was time to \u201cDepoliticize the debate and offer it to the voters.\u201d On the other ideological side of the room, Supervisors Bevan Dufty, Michela Alioto-Pier and Carmen Chu sided with Elsbernd.<\/p>\n

The motion was successfully stuck back together, bringing a brief moment of relief, before the bullish and rather smug Elsbernd swiftly split it again. More jaws hit the floor. This farce played out for several minutes before a recess was called which provided Supervisors Daly, Mirkarimi and Chiu to huddle and seek alternative methods of neutralizing the persistent and calculating Elsbernd. During the recess, Elsbernd remained aloof from press questioning, knowing well that if he stayed silent, he cannot be quoted, a tactic often utilized by Supervisors voting on controversial matters.<\/p>\n

On resuming the meeting, Elsbernd\u2019s opponents offered a motion to terminate the debate, but it failed after only garnering 7 of the 8 votes required. As expected, Supervisors Alioto-Pier, Chu, Dufty and, of course, Elsbernd dissented.<\/p>\n

A sense of stalemate pervaded the room with both sides searching to gain an upper hand.<\/p>\n

More pizza was ordered. Supervisor Carmen Chu, who remained conspicuously silent except to vote as ordered, nibbled on a cupcake.<\/p>\n

Eventually, after skipping back and forth between all the other legislation items of the day, the meeting and discussion resumed with Board President David Chiu issuing a ruling and a rebuke.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupervisor Elsbernd has made repeated motions that I believe would result in a filibuster of our attempt to resolve this issue tonight,\u201d Chiu stated. He \u201chas engaged in dilatory motions which are defined under Robert\u2019s Rules of Order as motions that \u2018seek to obstruct or thwart the will of the assembly\u2019 as clearly indicated by the existing parliamentary situation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Board of Supervisors President David Chiu<\/p><\/div>\n

Citing Robert\u2019s Rules, Chiu said, \u201cIf a member could demand a division on every vote – even when the result was clear – business could be brought to a standstill. Under Robert\u2019s Rules, it states that, \u2018when a chair becomes convinced that a member is using a parliamentary form for obstructive purposes, he should either not recognize that member, or rule that such motions are out of order, and it is the duty of the presiding officer to prevent members from misusing legitimate forms of motions, or abusing the privileges of renewing certain motions merely to obstruct business.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n

President Chiu made clear it was Elsbernd\u2019s intent to obstruct the proceedings and ruled that a vote on the divided items would resolve the issue. At this point, Elsbernd was barred from using his obstructionist tactic. The votes continued resulting in Mirkarimi\u2019s legislation, with Chiu\u2019s Sit\/Lie amendment in tact, being approved 7-4 for the November ballot. Supervisors Alioto-Pier, Carmen Chu, Bevan Dufty and Elsbernd, as expected, dissented.<\/p>\n

When asked why he attempted to obstruct the peoples business, Elsbernd told FCJ, \u201cI was trying to protect the voters using rules that are in the Board rule book. The president decided to ignore those rules and has sent a measure to the ballot illegally.”<\/p>\n

The truth of matter is Elsbernd was not protecting voters as he claims. He is a willing surrogate of Mayor Newsom who is playing politics with public safety<\/a> and has rebuffed, and continues to rebuff, all efforts by progressives to implement proactive foot patrol solutions to deter crime.<\/p>\n
