00:17:13 WORKS SUBDIVISION TRANSPORTATION AND BUILDING
00:17:17 INSPECTION COMMISSION CODES TO MODIFY NUMEROUS REPORTING
00:17:18 REQUIREMENTS AND TO AFFIRM THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT SEGMENT
00:17:22 DETERMINATION AND TO MAKE THE APPROPRIATE FINDINGS.
00:17:25 >> I SEE MANY NAMES POPPING UP ON THE ROSTER I WOULD LIKE TO
00:17:29 SPEAK FIRST. I DO NOT BELIEVE IT IS
00:17:32 APPROPRIATE FOR ME TO SPEAK FIRST FROM THE DAIS SO I'M
00:17:33 GOING TO ASK SUPERVISOR WALDEN WHO WE WILL SPEAK LATER TO TAKE
00:17:38 THE DAIS WHILE I'M TALKING PRESIDENT MELLOW MAN ADVISOR
00:17:55 WALTON ADMONISHED ME NOT TO LOOK AT HIS NOTES.
00:18:00 >> COLLEAGUES I HAVE CIRCULATED AMENDED NOTES THAT I WOULD HOPE
00:18:05 WE WILL ADOPT TODAY AND THEN PASS THIS ORDINANCE ON FIRST
00:18:12 READING BY WAY OF BACKGROUND TO CATCH PEOPLE UP.
00:18:16 THIS ORDINANCE HAS BEEN A LONG TIME IN THE MAKING.
00:18:20 CITY ATTORNEY DAVID CHIU HAD HEARD FROM MANY DEPARTMENTS
00:18:23 OVER TIME THAT THEY WERE FEELING BURDENED BY THE VOLUME
00:18:28 OF REPORTS THAT THEY WERE BEING ASKED TO PRODUCE THAT IN THEIR
00:18:32 MIND NOBODY WAS REVIEWING AND THAT WE HAD TO MAKE WORK
00:18:38 EXERCISE GOING ON THAT THEY WOULD LIKE THAT THEY WERE
00:18:40 HOPING SOMEONE WOULD PRUNE AND FOR MANY YEARS WELL FOR
00:18:43 YEARS SUPERVISOR OR CITY ATTORNEY CHIU HEARD THIS WASN'T
00:18:50 QUITE SURE WHAT TO DO WITH THAT.
00:18:51 >> THERE'S BEEN A LOT OF TALK ABOUT HOW AI HAS BEEN USED WITH
00:18:54 THIS ORDINANCE THE WAY I WAS USED WITH THIS ORDINANCE WAS
00:18:57 THAT A STANFORD A STANFORD LEARN LANGUAGE MODEL WAS
00:19:01 BROUGHT TO BEAR TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THESE REPORTS.
00:19:05 >> THE ORDINANCE WAS NOT WRITTEN BY THE I DID NOT DO THE
00:19:08 ANALYSIS OF WHETHER THESE REPORTS WERE WORTHWHILE OR NOT
00:19:12 WORTHWHILE. ALL THEY DID WAS PULL OUT ALL
00:19:19 THE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS THAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN PUT INTO OUR
00:19:20 VAST CODE OVER OVER TIME. THIS EXERCISE IDENTIFIED 15 540
00:19:27 REPORTS AND THEN THE REAL WORK FOR THE CITY ATTORNEYS AND THE
00:19:31 PEOPLE IN THE DEPARTMENTS BEGAN WHEREIN THEY LOOKED AT EACH OF
00:19:34 THESE REPORTS AND THEY TRIED TO FIGURE OUT WHETHER THEY WERE
00:19:37 VALUABLE, WHETHER SOMEONE OUT IN THE WORLD SEEMED TO BE
00:19:38 PAYING ATTENTION TO THESE REPORTS AND WANTING THESE
00:19:42 REPORTS OR WHETHER THEY WERE JUST TO MAKE WORK EXERCISE
00:19:45 BASED ON THAT THEY DECIDED TO LEAVE.
00:19:49 I THINK TWO THIRDS OF THE REPORTS ALONE SO ABOUT 380 OF
00:19:53 THE REPORTS THAT THEY IDENTIFIED ARE NOT BEING
00:19:54 TOUCHED. THE REST 140 SOME ODD REPORTS
00:20:01 THIS ORDINANCE WOULD ELIMINATE OR MODIFY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S
00:20:08 OFFICE WAS ASKED TO PREPARE SOME TO MANY, MANY MONTHS AGO A
00:20:12 SMALLER DOCUMENT A NINE PAGE REPORT THAT WALKED THROUGH EACH
00:20:15 OF THE CHANGES AND GENERALLY SUMMARIZED IT SO PEOPLE COULD
00:20:20 KNOW AT LEAST WHAT MORE TO LOOK FOR IF THEY HAD CONCERNS.
00:20:23 >> SOME OF US TOOK ADVANTAGE OF THAT.
00:20:27 >> I DID SUPERVISOR CHEN DID, SUPERVISOR CHERYL DID I BELIEVE
00:20:28 OTHERS MAY HAVE THIS ORDINANCE WAS HEARD AT PLANNING
00:20:31 COMMISSION OF THE BUILDING INSPECTION COMMISSION AND ALSO
00:20:35 AT OUR OWN GAO. I DO WANT TO THANK CHAIR CHERYL
00:20:38 FOR THE WORK THAT HE AND PARTICULARLY HIS STAFF I
00:20:42 THINK LORENZO WAS WORKING ON THIS DID IN SORTING THROUGH
00:20:46 SOME OF THE CONCERNS THAT THEY HEARD AND THAT WAS THE MEASURE
00:20:50 THAT WAS FORWARDED TO THE FULL BOARD.
00:20:51 NOW AS WE RECALL THERE WAS SOME DISCUSSION ABOUT THIS TWO WEEKS
00:20:54 AGO A DIFFERENT CONCERNS WERE EXPRESSED AND WITHIN THE WEEK
00:20:58 BEFORE BETWEEN THIS GOING TO GAO AND COMING TO THE FULL
00:21:02 BOARD, WE DID HEAR FROM THE LBB, THE SMALL BUSINESS
00:21:05 COMMUNITY WITH CONCERNS ABOUT THIS ORDINANCE ABOUT OTHER
00:21:12 PIECES OF LEGISLATION. AND SO AT THAT POINT I ASKED
00:21:16 AND THE BOARD DECIDED TO CONTINUE THIS ITEM FOR TWO
00:21:19 WEEKS TO ADDRESS THEIR CONCERNS TO ADDRESS OTHER QUESTIONS
00:21:23 PEOPLE MIGHT HAVE ABOUT THE ORDINANCE THROUGH CONVERSATIONS
00:21:26 WITH THE LBB FOLKS I THINK THERE MAY WELL BE WORK TO BE
00:21:30 DONE IN CHANGING THE REPORTING THAT IMPACT THAT THAT THEY ARE
00:21:34 CONCERNED ABOUT BUT I DON'T THINK WE CAN HAVE THOSE
00:21:38 CONVERSATIONS ON THE SAME TIMELINE AS THE REST OF THIS.
00:21:41 AND SO AMONG THE THE AMENDMENTS THAT YOU HAVE IN FRONT OF YOU
00:21:45 ARE AMENDMENTS THAT BASICALLY TAKE OUT ANY OF THE ITEMS THAT
00:21:49 THE THAT THAT THOSE LETTERS FROM THE OBJECT COMMUNITY
00:21:51 IDENTIFIED AS THINGS THEY WERE CONCERNED ABOUT.
00:21:54 WE ALSO HEARD FROM THE DEPARTMENT ON THE STATUS OF
00:21:57 WOMEN WITH LOTS OF QUESTIONS IN THE END I THINK WE ADDRESSED
00:22:01 MOST OF THEIR QUESTIONS BUT THERE ARE TWO CHANGES THAT WE
00:22:04 ARE PROPOSING THAT WOULD OFFER .
00:22:10 ON PAGES 285 ON PAGE 25, LINES FIVE AND SIX RESTORE THE
00:22:14 DEPARTMENT ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN AS A RECIPIENT OF A
00:22:18 QUARTERLY REPORT THAT THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT
00:22:19 AND AND BY THE SAME COMPLETE DEPARTMENT AND THE DIA TO
00:22:23 VARIOUS APARTMENTS REGARDING DOMESTIC VIOLENCE DATA AND THEY
00:22:26 ALSO ASKED AND WE HAVE INCLUDED IN THESE AMENDMENTS A
00:22:29 RESTORATION OF THE ONGOING REPORTING REQUIREMENT FOR DSW
00:22:33 TO REPORT ON THE CITY'S POLICY PROMOTING REPRESENTATION OF
00:22:37 WOMEN ON CITY. I THINK IT'S ON CITY
00:22:40 COMMISSIONS AND THEN ON PAGE 18 THERE'S A RESTORATION OF THE
00:22:47 SEXUAL HARASSMENT REPORT BY THAT THAT'S PREPARED BY THE
00:22:55 DEPARTMENT OF HUMAN RESOURCES ALTHOUGH RATHER THAN HAVING IT
00:22:59 BE A QUARTERLY REPORT AS CURRENTLY IT WOULD BE
00:23:00 SEMIANNUAL. SO THOSE ARE THREE ADDITIONAL
00:23:03 CHANGES THAT HAVE COME UP IN THE LAST TWO WEEKS.
00:23:07 AND THEN THERE WERE THERE ARE A COUPLE OF CLEANUP ITEMS BECAUSE
00:23:11 IT'S BEEN AROUND AS I SAID FOR A YEAR.
00:23:12 THE CITY ATTORNEY'S HAVE PROVIDED SOME CLEAN UP PAGE
00:23:15 THREE 358 LINE 12 UPDATES THE TEXT OF THAT SECTION TO REFLECT
00:23:18 THE CURRENT CODE WHICH IS DIFFERENT FROM WHEN THEY FIRST
00:23:22 INTRODUCED IT PAGE 308 LINE 22 WE'RE REMOVING A SECTION
00:23:26 RELATED TO THE EQUAL PAY REPORTS THAT'S ALREADY BEEN
00:23:30 ELIMINATED AND THEN ON PAGE 282 LINES 14 AND 17 WE'RE PROPOSING
00:23:36 TO CHANGE LANGUAGE TO SEMI ANNUAL INSTEAD OF BI ANNUAL FOR
00:23:40 CONSISTENCY AND CLARITY. >> IN ADDITION TO THOSE CHANGES
00:23:44 WE'VE ALSO HAD I HOPE FRUITFUL CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN OUR
00:23:48 CLERK'S OFFICE AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY AND OUR CITY ATTORNEY
00:23:52 TOOK IT UPON HIMSELF TO DO ANOTHER REVIEW OF THE
00:23:56 LEGISLATION AND BASED ON THAT TO PROVIDE SOME CLARIFICATION
00:24:00 INTO THE TITLE WHICH I'M GRATEFUL FOR AND THEN I BELIEVE
00:24:04 THEY HAVE THEY'VE UPDATED THE DIGEST THAT WILL BE THAT WILL
00:24:08 ACCOMPANY THIS IN THE IN THE OFFICIAL RECORD.
00:24:11 SO THOSE ARE THE CHANGES WE HAVE.
00:24:12 WE ARE PROPOSING FOR THE BOARD'S CONSIDERATION.
00:24:15 >> I, I KNOW THIS IS LONG IT'S A LONG MEASURE.
00:24:20 IT'S NOT THE ONLY LONG MEASURE THAT THIS BOARD HAS CONSIDERED.
00:24:23 WE CONSIDER ALONG ALONG MEASURE IN THE FORM OF OUR BUDGET EVERY
00:24:27 SINGLE YEAR. I DO THINK THERE IS A QUESTION
00:24:31 ABOUT AS THESE REQUIREMENTS THAT THAT GROW UP OVER TIME DO
00:24:37 ACCRUE WHAT THE MOST EXPEDITIOUS AND REASONABLE WAY
00:24:41 TO PRUNE OUR CODE IS AND I HOPE THIS IS NOT THE END BECAUSE I
00:24:46 DO THINK OUR CODE NEEDS MUCH MORE PRUNING BUT I'M NOT
00:24:49 PLANNING ON INTRODUCING ANOTHER MAJOR ONE OF THESE IN MY LAST
00:24:56 SIX MONTHS. I DO THINK IT'S WORTH DOING.
00:24:57 I THINK THERE ARE HARDWORKING PEOPLE IN EVERY SINGLE
00:25:00 DEPARTMENT IN THIS CITY WHO ARE QUESTION THE VALUE OF THEIR
00:25:04 WORK WHEN THEY KNOW THAT THEY'RE PREPARING A REPORT
00:25:08 AND SPENDING MANY HOURS ON IT THAT NO ONE WILL ACTUALLY USE
00:25:12 AND WOULD LIKE TO BE DOING SOMETHING OF MORE IMMEDIATE
00:25:15 VALUE TO THE PUBLIC. I THINK THOSE ARE MY COMMENTS.
00:25:19 I AND I WILL NOW GO BACK UP AND TAKE MY CHAIR AND ALLOW
00:25:23 OTHERS WHO MAY FEEL DIFFERENTLY TO SPEAK.
00:25:27 >> THANK YOU SO MUCH PRESIDENT MELBOURNE SUPERVISOR FIELDER
00:25:30 THANK YOU SUPERVISOR WALTON THANK YOU PRESIDENT GENTLEMAN
00:25:35 FOR HEARING COMMUNITY OUT ON SOME OF THESE REPORTS AND FOR
00:25:38 ALLOWING US MORE TIME TO LOOK INTO THIS LEGISLATION.
00:25:39 I HAD SEVERAL CONCERNS WITH REPORTS BEING REMOVED OR PARED
00:25:43 DOWN INCLUDING REPORTS RAISED BY THE DEPARTMENT ON THE STATUS
00:25:46 OF WOMEN WHICH I'M GLAD TO SEE WHERE WE CONSIDERED AND I'M
00:25:50 THANKFUL TO YOU MAYBE SKELLY AND PRESIDENT MIDDLETON'S
00:25:51 OFFICE FOR GOING OVER OTHER CONCERNS WITH MY STAFF.
00:25:54 JENNIFER FERRIGNO I SUPPORT THE VAST MAJORITY OF CODE CLEANUP
00:25:58 IN THIS ORDINANCE REMOVING OUTDATED AND OBSOLETE REPORTING
00:26:01 REQUIREMENTS AND PARING DOWN THE FREQUENCY OF SOME REPORTING
00:26:05 FROM SOME DEPARTMENTS. HOWEVER, I HAVE ONE MAJOR
00:26:08 OUTSTANDING CONCERN WITH THIS LEGISLATION AND THAT IS THE
00:26:09 PARING DOWN OF THE CONTROLLERS ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY
00:26:12 AUDIT FROM ONCE A YEAR TO ONCE EVERY FIVE YEARS.
00:26:16 SECTION 28.20 REQUIRES THE COMPTROLLER TO AUDIT ANNUALLY
00:26:23 THE USE OF SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY BY DEPARTMENTS
00:26:25 AND REQUIRES THE AUDIT TO INCLUDE A REVIEW OF WHETHER A
00:26:28 DEPARTMENT HAS OPERATED AND IS OPERATING IN COMPLIANCE WITH AN
00:26:31 APPROVED SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY POLICY ORDINANCE HAS
00:26:34 COMPLETED AN ANNUAL SURVEILLANCE REPORT AND SUCH
00:26:36 OTHER INFORMATION AS THE COMPTROLLER DETERMINES HELPFUL
00:26:39 TO ASSESS THAT SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY POLICY AT A TIME
00:26:42 WHEN PEOPLE ARE INCREASINGLY CONCERNED ABOUT DATA PRIVACY
00:26:45 AND HOW THEY ARE BEING MONITORED.
00:26:46 I THINK THE FREQUENCY OF THIS REPORT IS CRUCIAL TO HONORING
00:26:50 CIVIL LIBERTIES AND THE INTENT OF OUR CITY'S STRONG
00:26:54 SURVEILLANCE TECHNOLOGY POLICY .
00:26:57 I'M DISAPPOINTED THAT THIS REPORTING REQUIREMENT WILL BE
00:26:58 PARED DOWN FROM ONE YEAR ALL THE WAY TO FIVE YEARS.
00:27:02 IT IS IT IS A SIGNIFICANT UNDERTAKING IN THE
00:27:05 COMPTROLLER'S OFFICE TO CONDUCT THIS AUDIT.
00:27:06 BUT I THINK THIS IS A PRIORITY FOR SAN FRANCISCANS SO MUCH SO
00:27:10 THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS ITEM.
00:27:16 >> SUPERVISOR ONE THANK YOU, PRESIDENT AMANDA MINUTE I JUST
00:27:20 WANT TO SAY THAT I THINK IT'S GREAT THAT THE CITY ATTORNEY,
00:27:27 CITY DEPARTMENTS AND BORDER SUPERVISORS AND EVERYONE WITH
00:27:31 THE PUBLIC HAD A CHANCE TO WEIGH IN ON THIS DENSE DOCUMENT
00:27:35 WHICH AFFECTS EVERYONE THESE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS ARE
00:27:39 IN PLACE FOR A REASON. SO I THINK, YOU KNOW, YOU
00:27:43 SHOULD BE PROUD TO MAKE SO MANY CHANGES WITHOUT ANYONE KNOWING
00:27:47 WHAT'S HAPPENING. THIS REALLY SHOULD HAVE BEEN
00:27:50 SEPARATED AND TAKEN UP AFTER RECESS WITH THE PUBLIC PROCESS.
00:27:55 THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION IN HERE.
00:27:58 >> THERE ARE A LOT OF CHANGES IN HERE.
00:27:59 THIS DOCUMENT IS VERY DENSE AND EVERYBODY YOU DESCRIBE THAT
00:28:03 PARTICIPATED IN THIS CONVERSATION.
00:28:06 IT DOES NOT INCLUDE THE PUBLIC WHICH WILL BE AFFECTED BY THIS
00:28:10 LEGISLATION. >> I THINK THAT IT IS AWFULLY
00:28:14 PECULIAR THAT WE ARE HANDLING A PIECE OF LEGISLATION IN THIS
00:28:21 MANNER WITH NO PUBLIC PROCESS WITH SO MANY CHANGES.
00:28:25 I JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT WHERE WE'RE GOING WITH THE
00:28:30 DIRECTION WE'RE TRYING TO GO WITH CITY GOVERNMENT BECAUSE TO
00:28:33 SUPPORT THIS IS SAYING THAT WE DON'T GIVE A ABOUT PUBLIC
00:28:38 VOICE AND I'VE NEVER SEEN US DO POLICY LIKE THIS AND MY ALMOST
00:28:45 EIGHT YEARS ON THIS BOARD OF SUPERVISORS WHERE WE HAVE NO
00:28:48 PUBLIC CONVERSATION, NO PUBLIC COMMENT, NO PUBLIC WAY AND I'VE
00:28:53 JUST NEVER SEEN THIS I I'M SURPRISED THIS IS EVEN IN FRONT
00:28:57 OF US. SUPERVISOR MELGAR THANK YOU
00:29:03 PRESIDENT MANDELL MAN I JUST WANT TO START MY COMMENTS BY
00:29:07 THANKING YOU AND YOUR STAFF FOR A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF WORK
00:29:12 AND ALSO CITY ATTORNEY TOO AND HIS STAFF FOR THE MANY
00:29:16 HOURS THEY SPEND ON THE LEGISLATION AND PARTNERS WHO
00:29:23 HAVE DONE THIS. AS I PREVIOUSLY STATED, I DO
00:29:27 BELIEVE THAT THE EXERCISE TO EVALUATE AND ASSESS THE CODE
00:29:31 AND CLEAN IT UP IS AN ACT OF GOOD GOVERNMENT HYGIENE.
00:29:36 >> I DON'T KNOW IF THAT'S THAT'S A PHRASE OUR CODE HAS
00:29:39 BECOME CONVOLUTED OVER TIME AND IT REQUIRES REGULAR CLEANUP
00:29:43 OF OBSOLETE SECTIONS REDUNDANCIES, PURGING OF
00:29:47 SECTIONS THAT ARE NO LONGER USEFUL.
00:29:50 AND I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT I DO THINK THAT THAT'S AN
00:29:52 APPROPRIATE USE OF I DON'T THINK THERE'S ANYTHING WRONG
00:29:55 WITH THAT. HOWEVER, THERE ARE POLICY
00:29:58 IMPLICATIONS FOR STREAMLINING AND GETTING RID OF REPORTS THAT
00:30:06 I THINK ARE POLICY DECISIONS NOT JUST CLEAN UP DECISIONS.
00:30:10 >> AND I DO APPRECIATE THE AMENDMENTS THAT YOU'RE PUTTING
00:30:12 FORWARD TODAY. THANK YOU FOR INCLUDING A
00:30:14 COUPLE OF MINE. I JUST WANT TO CAUTION US THAT
00:30:18 THIS WEEK OF ALL WEEKS I'VE BEEN READING THE PAPER WHAT'S
00:30:22 GOING ON IN SAN FRANCISCO THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE WERE
00:30:25 GOING TO GET RID OF THE REPORT ON SEXUAL HARASSMENT THAT'S
00:30:29 WHAT WE WERE GOING TO DO BEFORE THE AMENDMENTS BEFORE YOU
00:30:31 TODAY. AND THEY WERE CAUGHT BY
00:30:33 SOMEBODY AT THE DEPARTMENT OF THE STATUS OF WOMEN WHICH IS
00:30:34 WHY THEY'RE BEFORE US TODAY. I VERY MUCH CARE ABOUT THIS
00:30:37 ISSUE BUT THERE'S LOTS OF OTHER ISSUES AND I'M NOT WATCHING OUT
00:30:41 FOR IN THE 350 SOME PAGES YOU KNOW I WAS ABLE TO FIND A FEW
00:30:45 THINGS BUT I DON'T KNOW THAT I WAS ABLE TO DO EVERYTHING.
00:30:51 SO I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST THIS LEGISLATION.
00:30:55 BUT LET ME BE CLEAR ON WHY IT IS NOT BECAUSE I DON'T THINK
00:30:57 THAT YOU KNOW, I WELL, THAT'S THAT'S NOT REASON I THINK IT'S
00:31:00 UP TO ME IT'S ABOUT THE PROCESS.
00:31:03 >> SO YOU KNOW, WE EACH HAVE VERY DISTINCT JOBS IN THE
00:31:07 CHECKS AND BALANCES OF POWERS OF OUR GOVERNMENT.
00:31:11 I'M VERY PROUD OF OUR DEMOCRACY AND PARTICULARLY PROUD OF THE
00:31:15 DEMOCRACY THAT WE HAVE IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN
00:31:16 FRANCISCO, THE CITY ATTORNEY'S ROLE AND THE ELECTED CITY
00:31:19 ATTORNEY THAT WE HAVE HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP THE CITY
00:31:23 FROM LEGAL HARM TO MAKE SURE THAT OUR CODES ARE EFFICIENT
00:31:27 IN THEIR CLEAR TO MINIMIZE THE HARM TO SAN FRANCISCO, THE RISK
00:31:31 OF LEGAL ENTANGLEMENT AND ALSO, YOU KNOW, HELP MAKE THINGS MORE
00:31:35 EFFICIENT AND I THINK THAT THAT'S GREAT.
00:31:38 OUR CITY CLERK ALSO HAS, YOU KNOW, A RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE
00:31:42 SURE THAT THE RECORDS OF OUR ACTIVITIES ARE SEARCHABLE
00:31:47 IN THAT THEY'RE TRANSPARENT AND ACCESSIBLE TO THE PUBLIC
00:31:50 AND THAT REQUIRES A LOT OF ORGANIZATION AND BEING ABLE TO
00:31:54 DO THINGS A CERTAIN WAY OUR RESPONSIBILITY AS A PEOPLE'S
00:31:58 BRANCH, AS A LEGISLATIVE BRANCH IS TO MAKE SURE THAT THE PEOPLE
00:32:02 HAVE ACCESS TO OUR ACTIVITIES IN OUR FULL PARTICIPANTS IN OUR
00:32:06 DISCUSSION AND WE HAVE DEVELOPED THESE PROCESSES OVER
00:32:10 TIME TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS TO MY COLLEAGUE
00:32:14 WALTON'S COMMENTS AND WHILE WE DID HAVE A COUPLE OF HEARINGS
00:32:18 AT COMMITTEE I DON'T THINK THAT THEY THE THE PROCESS WAS
00:32:23 SUFFICIENT TO ENCOMPASS THE ENTIRE BREADTH OF WHAT'S
00:32:27 HAPPENING HERE. AND YES, MOST OF IT IS AS MY
00:32:31 COLLEAGUE FIELDER STATED, ROUTINE STAFF STUFF THAT'S
00:32:35 UNCLEAR REDUNDANCIES, THINGS THAT DON'T EXIST ANYMORE BUT
00:32:38 SOME OF THEM ARE ACTUALLY LEGIT POLICY DISCUSSIONS BUT IT'S ALL
00:32:43 MIXED IN TOGETHER IN ONE VEHICLE AND I DON'T THINK THAT
00:32:50 WE HAVE HAD SUFFICIENT TIME BUT MORE IMPORTANTLY I DON'T THINK
00:32:55 OUR PROCESSES ARE ADEQUATE TO BE ABLE TO HANDLE SOMETHING
00:32:59 LIKE THIS. SO I WILL BE VOTING AGAINST IT.
00:33:02 BUT I ALSO WANT TO MAKE A POINT IN PUBLIC TO REQUEST OUT TO OUR
00:33:06 CITY ATTORNEY PLEASE DO NOT EVER DO THIS AGAIN.
00:33:08 THIS WAY IF WE'RE EVER GOING TO DO THIS AGAIN, PLEASE HAVE THE
00:33:11 COURTESY TO US TO OUR INTEGRITY AS A LEGISLATIVE BRANCH, AS A
00:33:15 PEOPLE BRANCH TO BREAK IT UP BY SUBJECT BY ACTIVITY WHERE IF
00:33:22 IT'S JUST CLEANUP VERSUS REPORTING, YOU KNOW, THERE ARE
00:33:26 MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO DO THIS. BUT YOU KNOW, I DON'T THINK
00:33:30 THAT THIS WAS THE RIGHT WAY AND I JUST YOU KNOW, WANT TO
00:33:34 REITERATE THIS IS NOT ABOUT WELL, SOME OF IT IS THE CONTENT
00:33:38 BUT OVERALL THE CONTENT I THINK IS OKAY.
00:33:41 THE REPORTING I THINK NEEDS WAY MORE WORK AND I THINK FOR ME
00:33:48 IT'S ABOUT THE PROCESS AND THE INTEGRITY OF US AS A
00:33:52 LEGISLATIVE BRANCH AND OUR ROLE IN PROVIDING TRANSPARENT
00:33:56 COMMUNICATION ACCESS AND INPUT FROM THE PUBLIC THAT I'M JUST
00:33:57 NOT COMFORTABLE WITH. >> THANK YOU.
00:34:00 SUPERVISOR CHEN THANK YOU, BILL.
00:34:04 >> PRESIDENT COLLEAGUES WHEN I FIRST REVIEWED THIS LEGISLATION
00:34:08 I WAS CONCERNED THAT ELIMINATES SEVERAL VITAL REPORTING
00:34:12 REQUIREMENTS THAT ARE FOUNDATIONAL TO INFORM
00:34:16 POLICYMAKING ON LAND USE AND HOUSING.
00:34:17 MANY OF THIS REPORTING REQUIREMENTS WERE CRAFTED WITH
00:34:20 INPUT FROM COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITY BASED IT
00:34:24 ORGANIZATION THAT RELY ON THIS INFORMATION TO PROTECT TENANTS
00:34:27 AND EXPAND AFFORDABLE HOUSING. SOME EXAMPLES INCLUDE
00:34:30 INDICATORS TO BETTER UNDERSTAND HOW PROGRESS TOURISTS HAVE
00:34:35 PROGRESS TOWARDS MEETING AFFORDABLE HOUSING.
00:34:36 >> ITS IMPACTED BY THE LOSS OF RENT CONTROL UNITS THROUGH ONE
00:34:42 YEAR OF NO FAULT EVICTIONS. ITS CHAIR A JOB HOUSING
00:34:45 ANALYSIS TO BETTER DOCUMENT HOW HOUSING PRODUCED IT MATCHES THE
00:34:49 WAGE LEVEL OF NEW WORKERS SO THAT WE MAY TRACK OUT OUR
00:34:53 ABILITY TO HOUSE OUR LOCAL WORKFORCE REPORTS
00:34:57 AND INDICATORS RELATED TO TENANT IMPACTS AROUND SHORT
00:35:01 TERM RENTALS, ACCESSORY DWELLING UNITS AND FOURPLEX
00:35:05 AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING PRODUCTIONS AND PRESERVATION
00:35:06 FUND THAT HAS SUPPORTED THE DEVELOPMENT OF AFFORDABLE
00:35:10 HOUSING AND THE PRESERVATION OF EXISTING RENT CONTROLLED UNITS.
00:35:14 IT IS CONCERNING TO ME THAT THESE REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
00:35:17 WERE ON THE CHOPPING BLOCK IN THE FIRST PLACE.
00:35:20 >> THIS IS NOT SIMPLE CLEAN UP OF OBSOLETE REQUIREMENTS BUT
00:35:24 REAL POLICY TRADEOFFS AROUND REPORTS AND INDICATORS THAT
00:35:28 REMAIN VITAL NOW THAN EVER GIVEN A CITY'S BEST WHAT
00:35:32 DEPENDING UPON THE QUANTITY AND MANY DISPLACEMENT
00:35:36 PRESSURES. AND I WANT TO REALLY APPRECIATE
00:35:40 SUPERVISOR CHERYL AND YOUR STAFF AND PRESENT MANAGEMENT
00:35:41 AND YOUR STAFF FOR WORKING COLLABORATIVELY WITH MY OFFICE
00:35:45 TO CRAFT AMENDMENTS TO RESTORE THIS REQUIREMENT.
00:35:48 AND I'LL BE SUPPORTING THIS LEGISLATION.
00:35:51 >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR WONG I WANT TO THANK
00:35:55 PRESIDENT MATLIN AND CITY ATTORNEY DAVID CHIU FOR WORKING
00:35:59 ON THIS LARGE PIECE OF LEGISLATION IDENTIFYING THE
00:36:03 THINGS THAT NEED CODE CLEANUP IN OUR CITY CITY CODE.
00:36:07 IT'S VERY IT'S A VERY LARGE CODE AND THERE'S SO MANY
00:36:11 REQUIREMENTS THAT CITY DEPARTMENTS HAVE ALSO WANT TO
00:36:16 THINK AND ACKNOWLEDGE THE GROUPS, SUPERVISORS AND FOLKS
00:36:19 THAT REACHED OUT TO PRESENT MANAGEMENT AND OTHER FOLKS TO
00:36:23 GET THIS FIXED SO THAT WE HAVE MORE FEEDBACK ON IT AND SO THAT
00:36:30 WE CAN GET IT CLOSER TO MOVING FORWARD.
00:36:31 AS A LEGISLATIVE AIDE I WORKED ON SOME LEGISLATION THAT
00:36:34 SOMETIMES INCLUDED REPORTS AS WELL AND LOOKING BACK AT IT NOW
00:36:38 I'M LOOKING AND SAYING DID WE REALLY NEED TO HAVE SOME THOSE
00:36:42 REPORTS? AND YOU KNOW, SOMETIMES WE
00:36:43 PROPOSED THINGS BECAUSE AT THE MOMENT WE WANT SOME ADDITIONAL
00:36:46 ADDITIONAL FEEDBACK OR A KIND OF ABILITY OR WE WANT TO MAKE
00:36:50 SURE SOMETHING GETS THERE. >> AND SO I THINK ALSO IT GIVES
00:36:52 US A LESSON AS LEGISLATORS IN THE FUTURE THEN WHEN WE'RE
00:36:54 WORKING ON OUR OWN ORDINANCES WHAT ARE THINGS THAT WE'RE THAT
00:36:58 ARE IMPORTANT ENOUGH TO JUSTIFY REPORTS AND WHAT ARE THE THINGS
00:37:02 THAT ARE LITTLE BIT EXTRANEOUS THAT MAY NOT NECESSARILY NEED
00:37:06 THAT. SO THAT'S SOMETHING THAT I
00:37:07 MYSELF WOULD BE COGNIZANT IN THE FUTURE WHEN WE'RE
00:37:10 DRAFTING POTENTIAL PIECES OF LEGISLATION.
00:37:13 SO JUST ONE THINK A CITY ATTORNEY DAVID CHIU AND ALSO
00:37:14 PRESENT MANAGEMENT FOR THE WORK ON THIS LEGISLATION.
00:37:18 >> THANK YOU AND THANKS TO MY COLLEAGUES FOR THANKING ME.
00:37:21 SCULLY IN MY OFFICE I'D ALSO LIKE TO THANK MELANIE MATHESON

00:42:29 THE FRIENDSHIP OLDER THAN THE REPUBLIC ITSELF.
00:42:33 BUT FRIENDSHIP BETWEEN NATION IS NOT SUSTAINED BY HISTORY
00:42:36 ALONE. IT IS SUSTAINED BY PEOPLE, BY
00:42:40 FAMILIES, BY CLASSROOMS. THAT IS THE WORK OF THE 87 SAID
00:42:45 SCHOOL. SINCE 1967 THE USA HAS EDUCATED
00:42:48 GENERATIONS OF SAN FRANCISCANS IN TWO LANGUAGES AND TWO
00:42:51 CULTURES FROM PRESCHOOL TO 12TH GRADE.
00:42:55 TODAY NEARLY 1000 STUDENTS LEARN ACROSS OUR THREE CAMPUSES
00:42:58 INCLUDING OUR ORTEGA CAMPUS IN THE HEART OF THE SUNSET
00:43:02 DISTRICT WHICH WE ARE PROUD TO CALL HOME AND WHICH SUPERVISOR
00:43:05 WONG WILL VISIT TOMORROW MORNING.
00:43:09 WE LOOK FORWARD TO WELCOMING YOU SUPERVISOR.
00:43:10 ALL STUDENTS COME FROM DOZENS OF COUNTRIES BUT WHAT THEY
00:43:13 SHARE IS THIS CITY. THEY GROW UP BILINGUAL
00:43:17 AND BICULTURAL AT EASE CROSSING BETWEEN LANGUAGES, PERSPECTIVES
00:43:21 AND TRADITIONS. THEY GRADUATE WITH BOTH FRENCH
00:43:24 AND AMERICAN DIPLOMAS. AND THIS YEAR WITH OUR
00:43:25 INTERNATIONAL BACCALAUREATE TRACK NOW FULLY ACCREDITED WITH
00:43:29 NO FRENCH REQUIRED IN MIDDLE SCHOOL AND HIGH SCHOOL.
00:43:33 AND THAT'S IT FOR EVERYONE IN THE SUNSET OF SAN FRANCISCO.
00:43:36 OUR STUDENTS CARRY SAN FRANCISCO'S SPIRIT OF OPENNESS
00:43:40 INTO UNIVERSITIES AND CAREERS AROUND THE WORLD.
00:43:41 AS WE APPROACH OUR 60TH ANNIVERSARY NEXT YEAR, THIS
00:43:45 COMMENDATION MEANS A LOT AND A GREAT DEAL TO ALL OUR STUDENTS
00:43:49 OUR TEACHERS, OUR FAMILIES AND OUR ALUMNI.
00:43:53 IT AFFIRMS SOMETHING WE BELIEVE DEEPLY THAT A SCHOOL CAN BE
00:43:56 BOTH PROUDLY FRENCH AND THOROUGHLY SAN FRANCISCAN.
00:44:01 SO ON BEHALF OF THE ENTIRE COMMUNITY, THANK YOU.
00:44:04 SUPERVISOR WONGA FOR THIS RECOGNITION.
00:44:08 THANK YOU TO THE BOARD FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
00:44:12 LET ME GIVE HONG KONG AMERICAN LEAVES OF COFFEE SCHOOL.
00:44:13 AND HAPPY BEST DAY TO ALL. >> THANK YOU.
00:44:26 YOU'RE HERE DOING 3 TO 1. >> DISTRICT TEN SUPERVISOR
00:45:00 WALTON. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
00:45:01 PRESIDENT MANAGMENT COLLEAGUES. IN HONOR OF DISABILITY PRIDE
00:45:07 MONTH I WANT TO PROUDLY RECOGNIZE ANTONIO BABY TONY
00:45:12 GARCIA FOR HIS UNWAVERING KINDNESS.
00:45:16 >> BABY TELLING OF YOU TO COME UP AND STAND BEFORE I WANT TO
00:45:26 HONOR HIM FOR HIS DEDICATION TO SERVICE AND THE JOY HE BRINGS
00:45:31 TO EVERYONE AROUND HIM. FROM DAY ONE BABY TONE HAS BEEN
00:45:37 ONE OF MY BIGGEST SUPPORTERS. HE HAS VOLUNTEERED AT COUNTLESS
00:45:41 COMMUNITY EVENTS. HE HAS HELPED SHARE INFORMATION
00:45:42 WITH FAMILIES AND GREETED NEIGHBORS WITH A SMILE
00:45:46 AND ALWAYS STEPPED UP WHEN HELP WAS NEEDED.
00:45:49 >> WHETHER LIFTING BOXES DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC FOR FOOD
00:45:53 DISTRIBUTIONS AND TESTING SITES OR LENDING A HAND AT COMMUNITY
00:45:57 CELEBRATIONS. >> BABY TONY HAS NEVER
00:46:01 HESITATED TO SERVE OTHERS. >> HIS COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
00:46:05 SERVICE IS DEEPLY ROOTED IN HIS FAMILY.
00:46:08 HIS FATHER ANTONIO GARCIA SERVES OUR CITY THROUGH THE
00:46:12 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC WORKS HELPING KEEP SAN FRANCISCO
00:46:16 STREETS CLEAN. HIS GRANDMOTHER LORENA OROPEZA
00:46:20 HAS DEDICATED MORE THAN 30 YEARS TO SAN FRANCISCO GENERAL
00:46:24 HOSPITAL WHERE SHE CURRENTLY WORKS IN LABOR AND DELIVERY.
00:46:27 >> THEIR FAMILIES TRADITION OF VOLUNTEERING, SERVING ON BOARDS
00:46:32 AND GIVING BACK HAS CLEARLY INSPIRED BABY TONY, WHO IS
00:46:35 KNOWN AND LOVED THROUGHOUT THE COMMUNITY.
00:46:38 EVERYWHERE HE GOES SOMEONE KNOWS HIM.
00:46:42 >> AND FOR GOOD REASON. DESPITE FACING CHALLENGES THAT
00:46:46 MIGHT DISCOURAGE OTHERS, MAYBE TONY HAS SHOWED US THAT
00:46:51 OBSTACLES DO NOT DEFINE A PERSON.
00:46:54 HE APPROACHES EVERY DAY WITH DETERMINATION, OPTIMISM AND A
00:47:01 CONTAGIOUS SMILE. HE REMINDS ALL OF US THAT
00:47:04 HAPPINESS, RESILIENCE AND PERSEVERE PARENTS ARE
00:47:09 CHOICES. AND THAT WITH HEART
00:47:10 AND DETERMINATION ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE.
00:47:15 ONE OF THE MANY STORIES THAT PERFECTLY CAPTURES HIS GENEROUS
00:47:17 SPIRIT IS WHEN HE LEARNED HOW TO PLACE ONLINE ORDERS USING
00:47:23 HIS FAMILY'S PHONES. >> NATURALLY HE DIDN'T JUST
00:47:27 THINK OF HIMSELF. HE MADE SURE TO ORDER FOR ALL
00:47:28 OF HIS COUSINS AS WELL. AND IF HE EVER HAD $14,000 TO
00:47:34 SPEND WE ARE ALL CONVINCED WE'D EACH RECEIVE AN ELECTRIC BIKE
00:47:38 AND A HELMET BECAUSE BABY TONE BELIEVES IN LOOKING OUT FOR
00:47:42 OTHERS AND MAKING SURE EVERYONE STAYS SAFE.
00:47:48 MAYBE TONY HAS ALWAYS DREAMED OF BECOMING A POLICE OFFICER OR
00:47:52 SHERIFF. AND ANYONE WHO HAS SEEN HIM
00:47:53 IN UNIFORM KNOWS HE TAKES THAT RESPONSIBILITY SERIOUSLY.
00:47:59 OUR COMMUNITY EVENTS HE PROBABLY HELPS DIRECT TRAFFIC
00:48:03 KEEPS A WATCHFUL EYE ON EVERYONE AND PROVIDES HIS OWN
00:48:07 SPECIAL BRAND OF COMMUNITY SAFETY.
00:48:10 WHILE NO ONE IS QUITE SURE HOW HE DEVELOPED SUCH A PASSION FOR
00:48:12 LAW ENFORCEMENT, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE.
00:48:15 AND HIS GREATEST DESIRE IS SIMPLY TO HELP PEOPLE.
00:48:21 HIS ONE REQUIREMENT FOR EVERYONE HE MEETS IS SIMPLE
00:48:25 SMILE. >> AND THANKS TO HIS INFECTIOUS
00:48:29 JOY IT'S NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE NOT TO.
00:48:30 MOST RECENTLY THROUGH THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR OUR PROGRAM
00:48:34 BABY TONE ACHIEVED ANOTHER MILESTONE BY BEGINNING WORK AT
00:48:38 JIM'S RESTAURANT WHERE HE PROUDLY SERVES BREAKFAST ON
00:48:42 SATURDAYS. IT IS ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF HIS
00:48:47 STRONG WORK ETHIC, HIS WILLINGNESS TO CONTRIBUTE
00:48:50 AND HIS DETERMINATION TO CONTINUE GROWING AND GIVING
00:48:54 BACK. >> TODAY WE CELEBRATE BABY TOM
00:48:58 NOT ONLY FOR WHAT HE DOES BUT FOR WHO HE IS.
00:49:02 HE REMINDS US THAT TRUE LEADERSHIP IS MEASURED BY
00:49:05 KINDNESS, SERVICE, GENEROSITY AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE OTHERS
00:49:10 SEEM FEEL I MEAN FEEL SEEN IN VALUE.
00:49:14 ON A PERSONAL NOTE, BABY TONE HAS WORKED WITH ME IN COMMUNITY
00:49:18 FOR SEVERAL YEARS DURING COVID TO FEED PEOPLE AND IN ALL MY
00:49:25 ENDEAVORS TO GET WHERE I AM TODAY.
00:49:26 THANK YOU BABY TOM FOR BEING AN INSPIRATION A ROLE MODEL AND A
00:49:32 SHINING EXAMPLE OF WHAT IT MEANS TO PUT YOUR COMMUNITY
00:49:36 FIRST. SAN FRANCISCO IS A BETTER PLACE
00:49:39 BECAUSE OF YOU. >> THANK YOU GUYS FOR.

00:52:04 SO WHEN SOMETHING HAPPENS, NEIGHBORS SHOW UP FOR EACH
00:52:08 OTHER WHEN THEY NEED IT THE MOST.
00:52:09 EVEN IN ISOLATION AS MISSION TERRACE REMAINS CONNECTED
00:52:13 DURING COVID, THEY REFUSED TO LET THE NEIGHBORHOOD LOSE ITS
00:52:17 SENSE OF JOY AND CONNECTIONS. ON HALLOWEEN THEY ORGANIZED
00:52:21 THEIR FAMILIES PLACING TREES OUTSIDE THEIR HOMES AND BEFORE
00:52:25 LONG CANDY SO CHILDREN COULD STILL EXPERIENCE THE EXCITEMENT
00:52:30 OF TRICK OR TREATING ON THE 4TH OF JULY.
00:52:33 >> VOLUNTEER DISTRIBUTE THAT SIDEWALK TRUCKS SO CHILDREN'S
00:52:37 AND FAMILIES COULD TURN THEIR DRIVEWAYS AND THEIR
00:52:40 NEIGHBORHOOD STREETS INTO SORTS OF ART BEYOND FUN EVENTS.
00:52:44 AND MTI ALSO MAKES A LASTING IMPACT THROUGH ADVOCACY.
00:52:48 THEY SUPPORTED THE FOUNDING OF EXCELSIOR YOUTH CENTER,
00:52:53 SUPPORTED AFFORDABLE SENIOR HOUSING AT 55199 MISSION STREET
00:52:57 FOR THE RENOVATIONS OF THE YOUTH COMMUNITY ART CENTER
00:53:02 AND HELP PRESERVE THE HISTORIC OLD ALAMEIN EMERGENCY HOSPITAL
00:53:05 WHICH TODAY CONTINUES SERVE OUR COMMUNITY AS A CLINIC AS IT
00:53:10 NAMES THE CLINIC BY THE BAY. THEIR COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY
00:53:14 BUILDING CIVIC ENGAGEMENT AND PUBLIC SAFETY HAS MAKE
00:53:18 MISSION TO STRONGER FOR GENERATIONS.
00:53:22 FINALLY, I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE SOMEONE WHO HAS
00:53:25 DEVOTED COUNTLESS HOURS TO THIS NEIGHBORHOOD AND MTI IS
00:53:29 LONGTIME PRESIDENT DAVID COOPER.
00:53:30 >> DAVID NEEDS WIT AND UNWAVERING LOVE FOR THIS
00:53:37 COMMUNITY. HIS LEADERSHIP REMINDS US THAT
00:53:40 ONE CARING NEIGHBOR CAN INSPIRE AN ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD.

00:54:47 40 50 PEOPLE AT A AT A MOMENT AND I THINK THE SAME SAME IDEA
00:54:54 EXISTS IN OUR COMMUNITY NOW. SO I WOULD MAKE A PITCH FOR THE
00:54:58 FULL RESTORATION OF THE GENEVA OFFICE BUILDING AT GENEVA
00:55:05 AND SAN JOSE AS A YOUTH ART RESOURCE.
00:55:09 IT'S ALSO WHERE I TOOK MY ORAL EXAM FOR THE MUNI RAILWAY 50
00:55:13 YEARS AGO. AND I THINK THAT EVERY EFFORT

01:07:34 TO JULY 1ST, 2058 AND TO DELETE OBSOLETE PROVISIONS AT AN
01:07:38 ELECTION TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 3RD, 2026.
01:07:44 >> SUPERVISOR MELGAR THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.
01:07:48 COLLEAGUES, I AM SO EXCITED FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEND THIS
01:07:52 MEASURE TO THE BALLOT TODAY AND ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT.
01:07:55 IT WILL SECURE A STEADY FUND OF SORT OF A STEADY SOURCE OF
01:08:00 FUNDING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND PRESERVATION THROUGH THE
01:08:04 EXPANSION AND THE EXTENSION OF THE EXISTING HOUSING TRUST FUND
01:08:08 TO EVENTUALLY REACH $125 MILLION BY DEDICATING A PORTION
01:08:14 OF FUTURE GROWTH OF PROPERTY VALUES IN SAN FRANCISCO.
01:08:18 THIS IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT IS NOT JUST MORE MONEY WHICH WE
01:08:22 DESPERATELY NEED FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING BUT THE WAY THE MONEY
01:08:25 BEHAVES IS DIFFERENT THAN THE WAY THAT WE HAD IT BEFORE.
01:08:28 THIS WILL PROVIDE THE ABILITY TO BOND AGAINST IT BECAUSE IT
01:08:34 IS BASED ON THE VALUATION CERTIFICATION OF THE ASSESSOR
01:08:37 THAT MUST BE SUBMITTED TO THE STATE EVERY YEAR.
01:08:41 SO WE CAN PREDICT THE WAY IT'S GOING TO GROW AND WE CAN BORROW
01:08:45 AGAINST IT THEREBY TRIPLING OUR ABILITY TO PRODUCE AFFORDABLE
01:08:49 HOUSING AND GIVING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING NONPROFITS
01:08:53 WHO BUILD IN ABILITY TO PLAN TO PLAN FOR THEIR CAPACITY, THEIR
01:08:56 STAFFING AND WHAT THEY HAVE IN THE PIPELINE AHEAD AND MOST
01:09:01 IMPORTANTLY THEIR CASH FLOW. >> THIS PROPOSED CHARTER
01:09:04 AMENDMENT INVOLVED A DIVERSE COALITION OF PARTNERS AND IT
01:09:08 WAS IMPORTANT THAT THE EXPANSION OF THE HOUSING TRUST
01:09:11 FUND WAS DONE IN A WAY THAT WAS INCREMENTAL FISCALLY
01:09:15 RESPONSIBLE GIVEN THE BUDGET CHALLENGES THAT WE HAVE FACED
01:09:19 IN THE LAST COUPLE OF YEARS AND AT THE SAME TIME THAT WE
01:09:23 REACH THE FUNDING AMOUNT THAT WE THAT WILL ALLOW THE CITY TO
01:09:26 MAKE THIS USEFUL INTO BOND AND MAXIMIZE THE NUMBER OF
01:09:31 UNITS THAT CAN BE BUILT. I RECOGNIZE THAT VOTERS WILL
01:09:34 HAVE A LOT TO CONTEND WITH IN THE NOVEMBER BALLOT BUT I
01:09:38 CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW DIRE THE NEED IS FOR THIS FUNDING
01:09:45 BOTH IN TERMS OF THE NECESSARY THAT WE HAVE TO CREATE
01:09:48 AFFORDABLE HOUSING GIVEN OUR COMMITMENTS TO THE STATE
01:09:52 AND OUR RESIDENTS BUT ALSO THE STATE OF OUR NON-PRO FIT

01:12:09 THANK YOU TO SUPERVISOR MELGAR AND HER OFFICE FOR THEIR
01:12:12 LEADERSHIP AND HARD WORK ON THIS AND BRINGING PEOPLE
01:12:15 TOGETHER. WE ALL AGREE THAT SAN FRANCISCO
01:12:16 NEEDS TO BUILD MORE HOUSING BUT AS WE WORK TO MAKE IT EASIER TO
01:12:20 BUILD WE ALSO NEED TO MAKE SURE THAT WORKING FAMILIES, SENIORS
01:12:24 AND YOUNG PEOPLE CAN AFFORD TO REMAIN PART OF OUR CITY.
01:12:28 THE HOUSING TRUST FUND HAS HELPED CREATE AND PRESERVE
01:12:29 AFFORDABLE HOMES AND SUPPORT OPPORTUNITIES FOR FIRST TIME

01:12:35 THAT FUND OVER TIME WHILE INCLUDING REASONABLE
01:12:36 PROTECTIONS WHEN THE CITY FACES A SERIOUS BUDGET SHORTFALL.
01:12:39 THIS IS A BALANCED APPROACH. IT SUPPORTS MORE HOUSING
01:12:42 PRODUCTION WHILE MAKING A LONG TERM COMMITMENT TO
01:12:44 AFFORDABILITY AND NEIGHBORHOOD STABILITY.
01:12:47 HOUSING COSTS ARE PUSH PUSHING TOO MANY PEOPLE OUT OF SAN

01:35:38 PROGRAM REQUIREMENTS FOR PROJECTS UNDER 25 UNITS TO
01:35:42 ALLOW ALL PROJECTS TO DEDICATE LAND TO THE CITY AS AN
01:35:46 ALTERNATIVE TO PAYMENT OF THE INCLUSIONARY AFFORDABLE HOUSING
01:35:49 PROGRAM FEE TO ADOPT A PROCESS FOR PROJECTS TO REQUEST A
01:35:53 MODIFICATION TO CONDITIONS OF APPROVAL RELATED TO

01:36:01 CERTAIN ARTICLE FOUR AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND DEVELOPMENT IMPACT
01:36:03 FEES AND TO ADOPT CONFORMING AMENDMENTS TO VARIOUS SECTIONS
01:36:07 OF THE PLANNING CODE TO AMEND THE BUILDING CODE TO REDUCE
01:36:10 PLANNING CODE ARTICLE FOUR DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEES
01:36:13 AND ALLOW DEFERRAL OF PAYMENTS OF SUCH FEES AND TO AMEND THE
01:36:17 ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO ADOPT CONFORMING AMENDMENTS TO THE
01:36:21 REQUIREMENTS OF THE CITYWIDE AFFORDABLE HOUSING FUND AND TO
01:36:24 AFFIRM THE SECRET DETERMINATION AND TO MAKE THE APPROPRIATE
01:36:28 FINDINGS. >> SUPERVISOR FIELDER THANK YOU
01:36:31 PRESIDENT MINUTEMAN. >> COLLEAGUES, AS I DISCUSSED A
01:36:35 GO COMMITTEE, I'M CONCERNED ABOUT THE IMPACT OF THIS
01:36:36 ORDINANCE ON THE DECADES LONG CAREFUL AND INTENTIONAL
01:36:40 PLANNING THAT IS FOCUSED ON THE MISSION DISTRICT.
01:36:44 >> THE MISSION AREA PLAN IS NOT A GENERIC PART OF SAN
01:36:47 FRANCISCO. >> IT IS AMONG THE MOST STUDIED
01:36:50 ,MOST CONTESTED AND MOST INTENTIONALLY PLANNED AREAS
01:36:52 IN THE CITY'S RECENT HISTORY TREATING IT THE SAME AS THE
01:36:56 REST OF THE CITY WITHIN THE SITE INCLUSIONARY PERCENTAGES
01:36:59 IGNORES EVERYTHING THAT OUR PLANNING PROCESSES WERE BUILT
01:37:04 TO PROTECT THE MISSION HAS A UNIQUE PLANNING HISTORY THE
01:37:07 EASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS REZONING AND THE MISSION AREA PLAN WERE
01:37:11 THE PRODUCT OF YEARS OF COMMUNITY BASED PLANNING
01:37:15 EXPLICITLY DESIGNED TO RESPOND TO DISPLACEMENT PRESSURE ON
01:37:16 LATINO RESIDENTS, SMALL BUSINESSES AND LIGHT INDUSTRIAL
01:37:20 OR PDR USES IN THE MISSION THE CITY ALREADY RECOGNIZES THIS
01:37:26 THIS ORDINANCE ITSELF CARVES OUT A HIGHER OFFSITE AND IN
01:37:30 LIEU RATE FOR THE MISSION PROOF THAT PLANNING AND THE CITY
01:37:34 ALREADY TREAT THIS AREA AS DISTINCT WHEN IT COMES TO VALUE
01:37:38 CAPTURE THE ONSITE RATE SHOULD REFLECT THAT SAME DISTINCTION
01:37:42 NOT DEFAULTS TO THE CITYWIDE NUMBER.
01:37:45 THE PRESSURES THAT JUSTIFY THIS SPECIAL TREATMENT HAVEN'T GONE
01:37:47 AWAY. THE MISSION REMAINS ONE OF THE
01:37:50 HIGHEST DISPLACEMENT RISK NEIGHBORHOODS IN SAN FRANCISCO
01:37:53 BY THE CITY'S OWN EQUITY MAPPING AND HERE I'M REFERRING
01:37:58 TO THE PRIORITY EQUITY GEOGRAPHIES STUDY AND THE
01:37:59 MISSION ACTION PLANS 2020 AND 2030 LOWERING THE ONSITE
01:38:02 REQUIREMENT TO A CITY WIDE GENERIC 5% BREAKS THE ORIGINAL
01:38:06 BARGAIN WITHOUT REVISITING THE DENSITY AND HEIGHT BENEFITS
01:38:10 THAT DEVELOPERS STILL RECEIVE IN THIS DISTRICT.
01:38:14 IF ANYTHING, CONTINUED DEVELOPMENT PRESSURE ON THE
01:38:17 MISSION STRENGTHENS A CASE FOR HOLDING THE LINE ON THAT
01:38:19 COMMITMENT NOT WEAKENING IT. >> WITH ALL OF THAT SAID, I'M
01:38:22 INTRODUCING AMENDMENTS TO REQUIRE AN 8% ONSITE
01:38:26 INCLUSIONARY RATE IN THE MISSION AREA PLAN WITH 6% AT
01:38:30 LOW INCOME AND 2% AT MODERATE INCOME FOR RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP
01:38:33 UNITS. >> THESE FIGURES ARE STILL WELL
01:38:37 BELOW THE CURRENT RATES OF 17% ONSITE INCLUSIONARY RATE FOR
01:38:40 THE MISSION AND JUST A BIT HIGHER THAN THE NEW PROPOSED
01:38:44 CITYWIDE ONSITE RATE OF 5%. RECOGNIZING THE INTENSIVE
01:38:47 PLANNING PROCESS THAT SHAPED AFFORDABILITY REQUIREMENTS
01:38:51 IN THIS AREA, THE DISPLACEMENT PRESSURES THIS AREA STILL FACES
01:38:54 AND THE SAME STANDARD ALREADY APPLIED TO OFFSITE AND IN LIEU
01:38:58 FEES HERE MY STAFF DISTRIBUTED THE AMENDMENTS EARLIER TODAY.
01:39:02 UNFORTUNATELY THEY WERE NOT READY FOR COMMITTEE SO I'M
01:39:03 INTRODUCING HERE TODAY THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS CONFIRMED
01:39:07 THAT THESE ARE NOT SUBSTANTIVE AND WILL NOT DELAY THE PASSAGE
01:39:11 OF THIS LEGISLATION. SO COLLEAGUES, I ASK FOR YOUR
01:39:15 SUPPORT AND WITH THAT I WOULD LIKE TO MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT
01:39:19 THE AMENDMENTS ON PAGES 53 THROUGH 55 THAT I JUST
01:39:22 DESCRIBED REQUIRING AN 8% ONSITE INCLUSIONARY RATE IN THE
01:39:25 MISSION AREA PLAN WITH 6% AT LOW INCOME AND 2% AT MODERATE
01:39:29 INCOME FOR RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP UNITS.
01:39:32 THE REMAINING AMENDMENTS AT PAGES 5558 AND 60 SOLELY UPDATE
01:39:35 THE SECTION NUMBERS. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT
01:39:39 MIDDLEMEN SUPERVISOR FIELDER HASN'T MADE A MOTION
01:39:42 AND SUPERVISOR MELGAR HAS SECONDED IT.
01:39:46 >> SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD THANK YOU PRESIDENT MANDOLIN.
01:39:50 I WAS HAPPY TO SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION COMMITTEE AND I'M
01:39:53 HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT HERE FOR FINAL PASSAGE AS WELL.
01:39:57 >> IT WAS ABUNDANTLY CLEAR FROM THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY
01:39:58 COMMITTEE REPORT THAT WE NEED TO DO ALL THAT WE CAN TO MOVE
01:40:02 THE NEEDLE ON FEASIBILITY IF WE WANT TO HAVE ANY CHANCE OF THE
01:40:05 CITY TO BUILD THE HOUSING REQUIRED TO MEET DEMAND.
01:40:08 >> THE INCREASE IN THE THRESHOLD FOR INCLUSIONARY FEES
01:40:11 FROM TEN UNITS TO 25 UNITS IN PARTICULAR WILL HELP WITH
01:40:14 THE EXACT KIND OF MIDSIZED PROJECTS ENCOURAGED BY THE
01:40:16 FAMILY ZONING PLAN WHEN PAIRED WITH THE HOUSING TRUST FUND
01:40:19 EXPANSION SUPERVISOR MELGAR HAS PROPOSED THESE POLICIES GO A
01:40:23 LONG WAY IN HELPING US MEET OUR PRODUCTION GOALS AROUND
01:40:27 SUBSIDIZED AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHILE ALSO STEMMING THE TIDE OF
01:40:31 RISING RENTS FOR RESIDENTS ON THE OPEN MARKET.
01:40:34 >> AS WAS NOTED, THIS WAS DONE AS AN EXCHANGE ON THE
01:40:38 RECOMMENDATION BY THE TAC BETWEEN THE HOUSING TRUST FUND
01:40:39 AND INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS AND HAD AMENDMENTS MOVE FORWARD
01:40:43 TO ACTUALLY COUPLE THOSE MEASURES.
01:40:47 I WAS SUPPORTIVE. AS FOR SUPERVISOR FIELDERS
01:40:50 AMENDMENT I WILL ALSO BE VOTING IN SUPPORT.
01:40:51 >> WE AS A BOARD SHOULD RESPECT SUPERVISOR PREROGATIVE AND I
01:40:55 TRUST HER TO KNOW HOW TO BALANCE HER SHARED PRIORITY
01:40:58 POLICY GOALS WITH THE FEEDBACK THAT SHE IS GETTING FROM HER
01:41:02 CONSTITUENTS IN THE MISSION. THE NEW RATES ARE STILL A
01:41:03 REDUCTION FROM THE CURRENT BASELINE AND WILL ENCOURAGE
01:41:07 MORE AFFORDABLE HOUSING THAT IS BEING BUILT AS A RESULT OF THE
01:41:10 INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENT TO BE BUILT IN THE MISSION
01:41:14 REPRESENTING THE OPPORTUNITY FOR RESIDENTS WHO WANT TO LEAVE
01:41:15 SUBSTANDARD OR OVERCROWDED CONDITIONS BUT DON'T WANT TO
01:41:19 LEAVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> I APPRECIATE THAT THIS
01:41:22 AMENDMENT REFLECTS THE CONVERSATIONS A SUPERVISOR
01:41:25 FIELDER HAS HAD WITH MISSION RESIDENTS ABOUT HOW TO ADVANCE
01:41:27 AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND THEIR NEIGHBORHOOD.
01:41:29 >> AND I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT IT .
01:41:32 >> SUPERVISOR MELGAR. THANK YOU SO MUCH.
01:41:34 PRESIDENT MANDELL MAN. I WANTED TO EXPLAIN MY
01:41:40 CO-SPONSORSHIP OF THIS ITEM AND YOU KNOW ADDRESS A COUPLE
01:41:44 OF CONCERNS HAVE COME UP FROM SOME OF MY COLLEAGUES
01:41:48 AND MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC FOR NON HOUSING NERDS.
01:41:52 >> THE WAY WE SET THE INCLUSIONARY RATE IN SAN
01:41:55 FRANCISCO IS THE SAME AS THE REST OF CALIFORNIA.
01:42:00 IT HAS TO BE BASED ON A NEXUS STUDY.
01:42:01 THIS IS IN SUPPORTING OUR DECISION MANY YEARS AGO AND AT
01:42:07 THE NEXUS STUDY REALLY JUST IS A CALCULATION THAT LOOKS LIKE
01:42:08 HOW MUCH IT COSTS TO BUILD A UNIT AND HOW MUCH A FAMILY OF
01:42:12 LOW INCOME CAN AFFORD. AND AS COSTS GO UP, YOU KNOW
01:42:15 THAT GETS WIDER THAT THAT GAP GETS WIDER AND OUR INCLUSIONARY
01:42:22 FEE GETS LOWER AND WHEN COSTS SHRINK, WHEN IT COSTS LESS TO
01:42:26 BUILD A UNIT, YOU KNOW THAT MEANS THAT THE GAP GETS
01:42:33 SMALLER. WE DON'T HAVE TO SUBSIDIZE AS
01:42:34 MUCH AND THEN WE CAN, YOU KNOW, GET MORE FOR OUR MONEY.
01:42:38 SO THE WAY THAT WE DO IT IN SAN FRANCISCO IS WE APPOINT A BUNCH
01:42:42 OF EXPERTS WITH THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS A BUNCH A POINT THE
01:42:48 TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND IT'S A SCIENCE THEY CRUNCH
01:42:52 THE NUMBERS BUT IT'S ALSO A LITTLE BIT OF ART BECAUSE WE
01:42:54 GET NONPROFIT DEVELOPERS FOR PROFIT DEVELOPERS.
01:42:56 THEY GET IN A ROOM, THEY LOOK AT THE NUMBERS AND THEY
01:42:58 NEGOTIATE AND WE ARE REQUIRED TO DO THIS EVERY THREE YEARS
01:43:01 BECAUSE THE MARKET CHANGES RIGHT?
01:43:05 >> THE COSTS GO UP THEN THEY GO DOWN THE AREA.
01:43:09 MEDIAN INCOME CONSISTENTLY HAS GONE UP BUT YOU KNOW WHEN TIMES
01:43:13 ARE BOOMING THE MEDIAN INCOME GETS SKEWED BY PEOPLE MAKING
01:43:17 LOTS OF MONEY. SO THOSE THAT FORMULA THAT THAT
01:43:20 SORT OF SCIENCE PART OF THE NUMBERS CHANGES AND EVERY THREE
01:43:24 YEARS THE PEOPLE IN THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE
01:43:28 GET TOGETHER, THEY CRUNCH THE NUMBERS AND THEY COME UP WITH
01:43:32 THE RECOMMENDATION THAT WE THEN VOTE ON BUT WE CAN VOTE ON IT
01:43:36 AT ANY TIME. WE JUST HAVE THIS BACKUP THAT
01:43:39 IS NOT JUST GOOD PRACTICE IT IS LEGALLY REQUIRED AND IF WE
01:43:43 DON'T DO IT, IF WE IGNORE THAT GAP THAT IS IN THE MARKET IT
01:43:51 RISKS THE INTEGRITY, THE LEGAL INTEGRITY OF THE ENTIRE PROGRAM
01:43:55 NOT JUST RIGHT NOW WHEN THE MARKET IS FLUCTUATING BUT
01:43:59 PERMANENTLY FOR OUR CITY. SO I JUST WANT TO MAKE SURE
01:44:02 THAT WE UNDERSTAND THAT BECAUSE WE HAVE TO DO IT.
01:44:05 SO NOW AS IT RELATES TO THE HOUSING TRUST FUND BECAUSE WE
01:44:09 SET THE INCLUSIONARY RATE EVERY THREE YEARS WE ARE ALSO PUTTING
01:44:13 TOGETHER THE HOUSING TRUST FUND FOR 30 YEARS.
01:44:18 IT IS A 30 YEAR COMMITMENT THAT IS PERMANENT 30 YEARS VERSUS A
01:44:22 THREE YEAR RESETTING OF THE FEE BASED ON THE MARKET.
01:44:26 SO WHAT HAS HAPPENED IF WE LOOK BACK AT THE LAST THREE YEARS IS
01:44:32 THAT 0% OF ZERO IS ZERO. IN THE PAST THREE YEARS WE HAVE
01:44:36 GOTTEN ZERO IN INCLUSIONARY FEES.
01:44:40 THIS PAST YEAR WE ACTUALLY GOT LESS THAN THAT.
01:44:41 WE GOT 137,000 OR SOME LESS BECAUSE SOMEBODY ASKED FOR
01:44:46 THEIR MONEY BACK THEY HAD PUT IN THEY HAVE SAID I'M GOING TO
01:44:48 BUILD AND THEN THEY'RE LIKE CHANGE THEIR MIND NEVER MIND SO
01:44:51 THEY CAN ASK FOR THEIR MONEY BACK BECAUSE THAT'S THE WAY WE
01:44:54 WROTE THE LAW. SO WHAT ARE WE REALLY GIVING UP
01:44:57 ? YOU KNOW, IN EXCHANGE FOR A 30
01:45:01 YEAR PERMANENT SOURCE OF FUNDING THAT ALLOWS US TO BOND
01:45:05 AND YOU KNOW, INVEST IN AFFORDABLE HOUSING GIVEN
01:45:09 THAT THE PAST THREE YEARS WE'VE BEEN AT ZERO AND AT ZERO BMR
01:45:12 UNITS. SO I JUST WANT TO POINT OUT
01:45:15 THAT 5% OF 100 IS FIVE AND IT'S MORE THAN ZERO.
01:45:18 SO WE ARE HOPING THAT IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS DESPITE THE
01:45:23 TARIFFS COSTING US HIGHER GAS PRICES, HIGHER PRICES FOR GOOD,
01:45:30 MORE INFLATION WE NOW HAVE THE HIGHEST INFLATION APOLOGY SEVEN
01:45:33 COUNTRIES BY THE WAY WE CAN DO NOTHING ABOUT THAT BUT WE CAN
01:45:37 DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS. IT'S ONE OF THE COST FACTORS
01:45:40 FOR BUILDING HOUSING. SO WE ARE HOPING THAT THIS WILL
01:45:45 INCENTIVIZE MARKET RATE HOUSING BEING BUILT IN THAT ZONES THAT
01:45:48 WE HAVE JUST ALLOWED IN AREAS THAT NOW WILL HAVE ROOM FOR
01:45:56 RENTAL HOUSING. I THINK THAT WOULD BE A GOOD
01:45:58 THING. IT WILL CREATE JOBS, IT WILL
01:46:00 CREATE NEEDED HOUSING THAT WE HAVE COMMITTED TO THE STATE
01:46:04 AND THE ACTION THAT WE JUST TOOK WILL ALSO PROVIDE
01:46:07 FINANCING FOR AFFORDABLE HOUSING WHICH IS HALF OF OUR
01:46:09 OBLIGATION TO THE STATE IN TERMS OF THE PRODUCTION OF
01:46:12 UNITS. SO I JUST WANTED TO EXPLAIN MY
01:46:13 THINKING IN PUTTING MY NAME ON THIS.
01:46:17 I DON'T LOVE LOWERING THE INCLUSIONARY PERCENTAGE.
01:46:20 I THOUGHT FOR IT I FOUGHT FOR THE PROGRAM.
01:46:25 I WROTE A LOT OF THE POLICIES AND PROCEDURES OF THE PROGRAM
01:46:29 BUT THIS IS THE MOMENT THAT WE'RE IN RIGHT NOW AND IT IS A
01:46:33 TEMPORARY MOMENT. SO IN THREE YEARS WHEN OUR
01:46:36 ECONOMY RECOVERS, WHEN WE NO LONGER HAVE A REPUBLICAN
01:46:41 PRESIDENT THAT IS MAKING EVERYTHING MORE EXPENSIVE
01:46:44 IN OUR COUNTRY AND THINGS GO BACK UP, I HAVE EVERY
01:46:48 EXPECTATION THAT THE INCLUSIONARY RATE WILL BE RESET
01:46:52 HIGHER BY A FUTURE BODY OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND THAT
01:46:56 WILL SIT ON TOP OF THE HOUSING TRUST FUND THAT HAS BEEN
01:47:00 EXPANDED SO THAT WE HAVE BOTH. AND SO I WANTED TO JUST EXPLAIN
01:47:07 THAT AND ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT FOR THIS.
01:47:08 I THINK IT MAKES SENSE AT THIS MOMENT IT IS A TRADEOFF BUT THE
01:47:12 MATH SUPPORTS IT. >> THANK YOU.
01:47:15 SUPERVISOR DORSEY THANK YOU PRESIDENT MANDOLIN.
01:47:19 COLLEAGUES, I WILL RESPECTFULLY BE VOTING NO ON THE PROPOSED
01:47:22 AMENDMENT WHILE WE ULTIMATELY HAVE THE FINAL POLICY DECISION
01:47:26 OVER OUR INCLUSIONARY RATES. WE GENERALLY ENTRUST THE BULK
01:47:30 OF THE POLICYMAKING WORK ON OUR INCLUSIONARY RATES TO A GROUP
01:47:34 OF EXPERTS FROM THE DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORDABLE HOUSING
01:47:38 COMMUNITY. THEY LOOK AT THE DATA
01:47:39 AND PROVIDE US WITH RECOMMENDATIONS.
01:47:42 AS LAND USE CHAIR MELGAR JUST EXPLAINED.
01:47:44 AND THIS TIME AROUND THE NUMBERS SHOWED THAT OUR RATES
01:47:47 ARE TOO HIGH AND IN FACT THE REPORT SHOWED THAT THE EVEN
01:47:50 ZERO IS INFEASIBLE. WHILE I FRANKLY HAVE
01:47:54 RESERVATIONS EVEN ABOUT 5%, I RESPECT THE PROCESS THAT LED TO
01:47:57 THAT RECOMMENDATION AND I UNDERSTAND THE DESIRE AND THE
01:48:01 IMPORTANCE OF HAVING A NUMBER THAT'S GREATER THAN ZERO.
01:48:04 BUT I DO BELIEVE WE NEED TO TRUST THE MATH.
01:48:05 I DON'T BELIEVE WE SHOULD SINGLE OUT NEIGHBORHOODS
01:48:09 AND FREEZE THEM OUT FOR NEW HOUSING MARKET RATE OR
01:48:10 AFFORDABLE. IT TAKES TIME TO SEE THE
01:48:13 EFFECTS OF THESE CHANGES AND THAT'S WHY THE TAX PROCESS
01:48:15 HAPPENS EVERY THREE YEARS. I BELIEVE WE NEED TO LET THIS
01:48:18 POLICY PLAY OUT SO I WILL RESPECTFULLY NOT SUPPORT THE
01:48:22 AMENDMENT ON THE PRINCIPLE THAT IT RISKS MOVING THE LEGISLATION
01:48:25 FURTHER FROM ITS GOAL OF MAKING HOUSING PRODUCTION FEASIBLE.
01:48:28 >> SUPERVISOR CHEN. THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.
01:48:33 COLLEAGUE IN THE FACE OF WIDENING IN THAT INEQUITY
01:48:36 AND THE HISTORIC AND ONGOING DISPLACEMENT OF WORKING CLASS
01:48:38 COMMUNITIES AND COMMUNITIES OF COLOR, THE CITY FACES AN
01:48:41 EXTRAORDINARY IMPERATIVE TO FACILITATE HOUSING OPPORTUNITY.
01:48:45 >> THIS INCLUDES PERMITTING MORE HOUSING FACILITATING ITS
01:48:52 CONSTRUCTION, ENSURING AFFORDABILITY AND PREVENTING
01:48:57 FURTHER DISPLACEMENT. >> I WANT TO SUPPORT DEVELOPERS
01:49:00 TO PRODUCE NEW HOUSING AND I WANT TO MAXIMIZING AFFORDABLE
01:49:04 HOUSING. AND THAT'S WHY I HAVE SERIOUS
01:49:07 CONCERNS ABOUT THIS LEGISLATION.
01:49:08 IT REQUIRES US TO CHOOSE ONE OVER THE OTHER RATHER THAN
01:49:12 ADVANCE BOTH COLLECTIVELY. IT IS REALLY A SAD DAY WHERE
01:49:16 AFFORDABLE HOUSING REQUIREMENTS ARE REFRAMED THAT OBSTACLES TO
01:49:22 PRODUCTION RATHER THAN A REQUEST FOR IT.
01:49:26 >> IF WE BELIEVE THAT A MORE AFFORDABLE SAN FRANCISCO IT'S
01:49:30 OUR GOAL THEN WE MUST RECOGNIZE THAT AFFORDABLE HOUSING IS PART
01:49:35 OF THE COSTS OF DOING BUSINESS FOR NEW DEVELOPMENT.
01:49:39 >> WHAT I HEAR FROM PROPONENTS OF THIS LEGISLATION IS THAT IT
01:49:43 GETS SHUFFLED IN THE GROUND. HOWEVER, I'M NOT CONVINCED IN A
01:49:48 BLATANT ANALYSIS CONDUCTED IN MAY OF THIS YEAR FOUND THAT
01:49:51 PREVIOUS RICH DUCTION DID NOT RESULT IN SIGNIFICANT IMPACT ON
01:49:55 HOUSING PRODUCTION. >> THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY
01:49:59 COMMITTEES OWN REPORT CONFIRMS THAT THERE IS NO RAY OF
01:50:03 INCLUSIONARY HOUSING THAT IS FEASIBLE UNDER CURRENT MARKET
01:50:07 CONDITION. AND BOTH ANALYSIS CONFIRM THAT
01:50:11 MACRO ECONOMIC FACTORS SUCH AS LABOR MATERIALS AND FINANCING
01:50:15 COSTS ARE THE REAL DRIVERS OF DEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY.
01:50:19 I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS LEGISLATION IS PART OF A
01:50:23 PACKAGE BUT PLACING THE AFFORDABLE HOUSING TRUST FUND
01:50:27 ON THE BALLOT AND APPROVING IT ARE TWO VERY DIFFERENT THINGS.
01:50:31 THERE'S NO GUARANTEE THAT THE FUNDING WILL BE APPROVED.
01:50:35 THIS IS AN UNNECESSARY LEAP OF FAITH AND I AND I BELIEVE IT IS
01:50:40 DISHONEST TO ADVANCE THIS LEGISLATION WITHOUT A GUARANTEE
01:50:43 THAT THE FUNDING WILL BE DEDICATED.
01:50:47 >> AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE INCLUSIONARY FRAMEWORK
01:50:51 . IT'S ALSO ABOUT SOMETHING MUCH
01:50:52 BIGGER THAT IT'S AT THE HEART OF SAN FRANCISCO.
01:50:56 >> WE CARE SO MUCH ABOUT THE GOAL OF INCLUSIONARY SIMPLE TO
01:51:00 ENSURE THAT NEW DEVELOPMENT DID NOT CONTINUE TO ECHO THE RACIST
01:51:04 EXCLUSION OF HISTORIC DEVELOPMENT PATTERNS.
01:51:05 INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS ARE THE SINGLE MOST IMPORTANT TO TO
01:51:09 FORCE A MIXED INCOME COMMUNITIES.
01:51:12 WITHOUT IT WE FACILITATE A SAN FRANCISCO THAT ONLY BECOMES
01:51:16 FURTHER SECOND GRADE IT AND I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THIS
01:51:20 LEGISLATION IN ITS CURRENT FORM.
01:51:21 BUT I DO WANT TO SPEAK TO SUPPORT SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S
01:51:24 AMENDMENT AND I THINK IN THE MISSION DISTRICT REMAINS ONE OF
01:51:28 THE HIGHEST DISPLACEMENT RISK AREA.
01:51:32 AND IT THIS PRINCIPLE ALREADY EXISTS AND IN THE LEGISLATION
01:51:36 WOULD HIRE OFF OFFSITE AND FEE RAISE IN PRIORITY EQUITY
01:51:40 COMMUNITIES AND THIS NEIGHBORHOOD SPECIFICALLY
01:51:43 TEARING IS JUST RELEVANT FOR THEIR ACTUAL INCLUSIONARY RATE
01:51:47 . >> THANK YOU.
01:51:48 SUPERVISOR CHAN THANK YOU PRESIDENT AMENDMENT.
01:51:54 >> I AM A FIRM BELIEVER THAT IN THE SUPPLY OF DEMAND IS THAT
01:51:59 WE NEED THAT SUPPLY OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING BECAUSE WE
01:52:06 ARE DEMANDING AFFORDABLE HOUSING OR REALLY HOUSING THAT
01:52:10 PEOPLE CAN AFFORD. AND THAT'S WHAT WE HAVE TO
01:52:11 BUILD. LOWERING THE INCLUSIONARY
01:52:15 REQUIREMENT ONCE MORE WE ACTUALLY DID THIS TWO YEARS
01:52:19 AGO. WE HAVE SOME PARAMETERS FOR IT
01:52:22 THAT'S INCLUDING LOWERING THE INCLUSIONARY PERCENTAGE FOR FOR
01:52:27 THE PROJECT THAT'S ALREADY CURRENTLY IN THE PIPELINE.
01:52:30 IT SEEMS LIKE IT WASN'T CLEARLY WITH THE BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE
01:52:34 ANALYST REPORT THAT WE RECENTLY COMMISSION HAD INDICATED TO US
01:52:38 THAT LOWERING THE INCLUSIONARY PERCENTAGE ISN'T THE MAJOR
01:52:42 FACTOR IS SOME FACTOR IS SOME INTENT PROVIDE SOME INCENTIVE.
01:52:46 SO OVERALL I AM NOT INCLINED TO AGAIN TO LOWER IT BUT I AM
01:52:50 AGAIN ALSO INCLINED TO SUPPORT SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S
01:52:54 SUGGESTIONS. IDENTIFYING AND RECOGNIZING
01:52:58 THAT MISSION HAS THE GREATEST GENTRIFICATION A RATE OF
01:53:02 GENTRIFICATION AND DISPLACEMENT AND WOULD LIKE TO INCREASE IT.
01:53:05 I WILL ONLY BE VOTING IN SUPPORT THE ENTIRE
01:53:12 LEGISLATION SHOULD SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S AMENDMENTS IS
01:53:16 ADOPTED. SO IN ANOTHER YEAR I WILL ONLY
01:53:21 BE VOTING. I WILL NOT BE VOTING IN SUPPORT
01:53:24 THE LEGISLATION AS IT CURRENTLY AT 6% FOR LOW INCOME AND 2% FOR
01:53:29 THE MODERATE INCOME FOR RENTAL AND OWNERSHIP.
01:53:33 BUT I WILL BE VOTING IN SUPPORT OF IT SHOULD THIS BODY ADOPT
01:53:39 SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S PROPOSED AMENDMENTS REQUIRING 8% ON
01:53:43 SITES IN THE MISSION AREA PLAN AREA.
01:53:47 >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR WONG COLLEAGUES SAN
01:53:51 FRANCISCO IS A AND THEY HOUSING PRODUCTION CRISIS.
01:53:55 OVER THE PAST SEVERAL YEARS CONSTRUCTION COSTS HAVE CLIMBED
01:53:59 INTEREST RATES HAVE INCREASED. FINANCING HAS BECOME MORE
01:54:00 DIFFICULT AND HOUSING PRODUCTION HAS SLOWED
01:54:04 DRAMATICALLY. THE CITY'S OWN TECHNICAL
01:54:05 ADVISORY COMMITTEE CONCLUDED THAT OUR EXISTING INCLUSIONARY
01:54:07 REQUIREMENTS HAVE BECOME A SIGNIFICANT BARRIER TO NEW
01:54:11 RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENT UNDER TODAY'S ECONOMIC CONDITIONS.
01:54:15 WE CANNOT COLLECT AFFORDABLE HOUSING FEES FROM PROJECTS THAT
01:54:19 ARE NEVER BUILT. WE CANNOT REQUIRE BELOW MARKET
01:54:22 RATE UNITS AND BUILDINGS THAT NEVER LEAVE THE DRAWING BOARD.
01:54:23 THIS LEGISLATION RECOGNIZES TODAY'S ECONOMIC REALITY WHILE
01:54:27 PRESERVING OUR LONG TERM COMMITMENT TO AFFORDABLE
01:54:30 HOUSING ADJUSTS INCLUSIONARY REQUIREMENTS, REDUCES CERTAIN
01:54:34 IMPACT FEES AND PROVIDES GREATER FLEXIBILITY SO PROJECTS
01:54:38 CAN ONCE AGAIN PENCIL OUT AND MOVE FORWARD.
01:54:39 IT ALSO MAINTAINS THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO REVISIT THESE
01:54:42 REQUIREMENTS THROUGH THE TECHNICAL ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
01:54:46 AS MARKET CONDITIONS CHANGE, GOOD HOUSING POLICY REQUIRES US
01:54:49 TO BE PRINCIPLED BUT IT ALSO REQUIRES US TO BE PRAGMATIC
01:54:51 AND RESPONSIBLE. IF WE WANT MORE AFFORDABLE
01:54:55 HOUSING TOMORROW, WE NEED MORE HOUSING.
01:54:58 TODAY THIS ORDINANCE HELPS PUT SAN FRANCISCO BACK ON THAT
01:55:02 PATH. >> THANK YOU.
01:55:05 AND DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK TO ROSE MILNER?
01:55:10 ALL RIGHT. IF NOBODY ELSE IS IN THE QUEUE
01:55:12 ,I WILL JUST WEIGH IN WITH A COUPLE REFLECTIONS.
01:55:16 >> WHEN I WAS IN GRAD WHEN I WAS YOUNG, WHEN I WAS IN GRAD
01:55:20 SCHOOL THE CONVERSATION ABOUT IMPACT FEES WAS VERY MUCH ABOUT
01:55:26 THE WAYS IN WHICH THOSE FEES COULD MAKE DEVELOPMENT PAY FOR
01:55:30 ITSELF. IN A POST PROP 13 WORLD WHERE
01:55:33 LOCAL GOVERNMENTS COULD NOT OTHER WOULD NOT OTHERWISE OVER
01:55:37 TIME BE ABLE TO COLLECT THE PROPERTY TAX THEY NEEDED TO
01:55:41 PROVIDE THE AMENITIES THAT WOULD BE NEEDED FOR THE NEW
01:55:45 HOUSING IN THE SUBSEQUENT 500 YEARS SINCE I WAS IN GRAD
01:55:48 SCHOOL. >> THE CIRCUMSTANCES
01:55:51 IN CALIFORNIA HAVE CHANGED AND WE HAVE A COLOSSAL SHORTAGE
01:55:55 OF HOUSING THAT IS CRUSHING, THAT IS CRUSHING OUR RESIDENTS
01:55:59 AND IS BAD FOR OUR ECONOMY IS BAD FOR OUR PEOPLE.
01:56:03 >> AND SO I HAVE BEEN PERSUADED THAT THE GOOD OF GETTING MORE
01:56:10 HOUSING IS WORTH THE HARM OF REDUCING OUR IMPACT FEES.
01:56:15 AND I TAKE SERIOUSLY THE POINT THAT SUPERVISOR MELGAR HAS MADE
01:56:19 AND THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE MADE WHICH IS THAT A LARGER
01:56:22 PERCENTAGE OF ZERO IS STILL ZERO.
01:56:23 >> NOW I DO THINK THAT SINCE THE TAX ANALYSIS SHOWS THAT
01:56:30 THAT THAT THE 5% DOES NOT CREATE FEASIBLE PROJECTS I'M
01:56:33 NOT INCLINED TO SUPPORT A RATE THAT IS HIGHER THAN THAT EVEN
01:56:39 FOR A NEIGHBORHOOD THAT IS VERY SPECIAL AND AND HAS A HISTORY
01:56:43 OF DISPLACEMENT. SO THAT THAT IS MY THOSE ARE MY
01:56:48 THOUGHTS. MADAM CLERK, COULD YOU CALL THE
01:56:51 ROLL ON THE AMENDMENT ON THE AMENDMENT TO ITEM 39?

02:00:25 AND MADAM CLERK LET'S GO TO OUR COMMITTEE REPORTS PLEASE CALL
02:00:27 ITEM NUMBER 41 YES BUT I'LL FIRST STATE ITEMS 41 AND 42
02:00:32 WERE CONSIDERED BY THE PUBLIC SAFETY AND NEIGHBORHOOD
02:00:34 SERVICES COMMITTEE AT A REGULAR MEETING ON THURSDAY JULY 9TH
02:00:37 AND BOTH WERE FORWARDED AS COMMITTEE REPORTS ITEM 41 THIS
02:00:44 ITEM WAS RECOMMENDED AS AMENDED BUT WITH THE SAME TITLE IT
02:00:47 READS ORDINANCE TO AMEND THE ADMINISTRATIVE CODE TO STATE
02:00:48 THAT IT IS CITY POLICY TO EXPAND THE AVAILABILITY OF SITE
02:00:52 BASED PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING THAT PROHIBITS ONSITE
02:00:55 ILLICIT DRUG USE AMONG RESIDENTS TO MEET THE TO MEET
02:00:59 THE DEMAND OF PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOMELESSNESS WHO
02:01:02 PREFER SUCH A RESIDENTIAL OPTION TO REQUIRE THAT THE CITY
02:01:06 FUNDING FOR NEW SITE BASED PASSAGE FOR PEOPLE EXPERIENCING
02:01:10 HOMELESSNESS BE USED FOR DRUG FREE PASSAGE EXCEPT WHERE
02:01:14 OPERATION OF THE HOUSING AS DRUG FREE PASSAGE WOULD
02:01:18 CONFLICT WITH STANDARDS IMPOSED BY LAW OR BY A CONDITION OF
02:01:22 OTHER FUNDING WHERE THE FUNDING IS FOR NEW CONSTRUCTION OR THE
02:01:25 BOARD HAS WAIVED THE FUNDING REQUIREMENT BASED ON SPECIFIC
02:01:29 FINDINGS TO REQUIRE THE DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS
02:01:32 AND SUPPORT OF HOUSING TO SURVEY RESIDENTS OF SITE BASED
02:01:36 SEARCH TO ASSESS THEIR INTEREST IN LIVING IN EITHER DRUG
02:01:40 TOLERANT PASSAGE OR DRUG FREE PASSAGE AND TO REPORT ON THE
02:01:44 SURVEY FINDINGS IN STAGES STRATEGIES TO MEET PCH
02:01:48 RESIDENTS DEMANDS AND TO REQUIRE H S H TO ADOPT RULES
02:01:52 AND REGULATIONS ESTABLISHING STANDARDS AND PROTOCOLS FOR
02:01:55 EVICTIONS FROM CITY FUNDED DRUG FREE HOUSING.
02:01:58 >> CHAIR DORSEY THANK YOU PRESIDENT RANDLEMAN.
02:02:03 >> COLLEAGUES, AS YOU PROBABLY KNOW THIS LEGISLATION HAS BEEN
02:02:07 A WORK IN PROGRESS AND A LABOR OF LOVE OF MINE FOR MORE THAN
02:02:10 TWO YEARS NOW. I WANT TO THANK ALL MY
02:02:12 CO-SPONSORS ESPECIALLY BOARD PRESIDENT MANDELL MAN WHO HAS
02:02:15 BEEN OUR ORIGINAL THOUGHT PARTNER FROM THE START.
02:02:18 I ASSUME I SPEAK FOR ALL OF MY CO-SPONSORS WHEN I ACKNOWLEDGE
02:02:21 HOW WORTHWHILE IT HAS BEEN TO DEMONSTRATE AN ABUNDANCE OF
02:02:25 COLLABORATION EVEN IF IT TOOK A LOT LONGER IN AN EVOLVING
02:02:29 POLICY LANDSCAPE AT THE STATE AND FEDERAL LEVELS.
02:02:33 WE HAVE HONORED ALL GOOD FAITH REQUESTS TO FIND COMMON GROUND
02:02:34 WITH ADVOCATES WHEREVER POSSIBLE.
02:02:36 I'M PROUD OF THE WAY WE WORKED COLLABORATIVELY WITH VARIOUS
02:02:41 INTERESTS COLLEAGUES HRH THE MAYOR'S OFFICE AND BOTH THE
02:02:45 BREED AND LORI ADMINISTRATIONS. WHILE THERE WAS PROBABLY NEVER
02:02:48 A SCENARIO TO WIN UNANIMOUS SUPPORT FOR THIS, I THINK WE
02:02:50 FORGED A BETTER LEGISLATIVE PROPOSAL ONE THAT'LL MAKE MUCH
02:02:54 NEEDED IF MODEST PROGRESS ON DRUG FREE PASSAGE OF OPTIONS
02:03:00 FOR THOSE WHO CHOOSE THEM. THIS LEGISLATION IS AN
02:03:01 INCREMENTAL APPROACH. IT ENSURES THAT ONLY NEW CITY
02:03:05 FUNDED PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING WILL PROHIBIT ILLICIT
02:03:08 DRUG USE ON SITE. IT WILL NOT AFFECT STATE FUNDED
02:03:12 PCH. IT WILL NOT APPLY TO NEW
02:03:13 CONSTRUCTION CURRENTLY IN THE PIPELINE.
02:03:17 AND IT WILL NOT CHANGE A SINGLE EXISTING DRUG TOLERANT AGE
02:03:20 BUILDING OR MODEL THE DRUG FREE LEASE PROVISION WE'RE PROPOSING
02:03:24 TO ADD IS LEGALLY IDENTICAL TO ALL STANDARD RESIDENTIAL LEASES
02:03:27 HERE IN CALIFORNIA. THE SAME LEASES THAT ALREADY
02:03:31 COVER MORE THAN 240,000 SAN FRANCISCANS WHO DON'T LIVE
02:03:33 IN PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING.
02:03:35 THIS IS NOT SOBER HOUSING. IT IS NOT RECOVERY HOUSING.
02:03:39 IT DOES NOT PROHIBIT ALCOHOL OR MARIJUANA OR MEDICALLY ASSISTED
02:03:42 TREATMENT. I ALSO WANT TO BE CLEAR ABOUT
02:03:43 WHOM THIS LEGISLATION IS FOR. IT RESPONDS TO REAL NEEDS OF
02:03:47 PCH RESIDENTS THEMSELVES PEOPLE WHO MAY OR MAY NOT BE
02:03:51 IN RECOVERY BUT WHO SIMPLY WANT TO LIVE IN A DRUG FREE
02:03:55 RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITY. FAMILIES, SENIORS AND OTHERS
02:03:58 WHO PEOPLE WHO DESERVE THE CHOICE OF A DRUG FREE OPTION
02:04:02 FOR ANY REASON THAT COVERS ALL OTHER RESIDENTIAL TENANTS
02:04:06 IN SAN FRANCISCO WITH ONE EXCEPTION AND THAT'S A 42 UNIT
02:04:12 SITE AT 1174 FOLSOM STREET IN MY DISTRICT.
02:04:15 WE CURRENTLY HAVE NO DRUG FREE OPTIONS OPTIONS IN OUR CITY
02:04:19 FUNDED SYSTEM. THIS LEGISLATION AT ITS CORE IS
02:04:23 ABOUT GIVING PCH RESIDENTS A CHOICE.
02:04:24 IMPORTANTLY, RESIDENTS WHO MAY CHOOSE DRUG FREE PCH ARE MAKING
02:04:28 AN INTENTIONAL CHOICE ONE THEY WOULD BE OPTING INTO A
02:04:32 COMMUNITY AS WITH AN ILLICIT DRUG FREE RULE AND MAKING A
02:04:35 COMMITMENT TO ABIDE BY IT. THAT INTENTIONALITY IS THE
02:04:38 FOUNDATION THAT THIS POLICY IS BUILT ON.
02:04:42 IT'S ABOUT RESPECTING THE CHOICES OF THE RESIDENTS
02:04:43 THEMSELVES AND ALSO ALONG WITH THAT HONORING THAT THE
02:04:47 DEPARTMENT OF HOMELESSNESS AND SUPPORT OF HOUSING WILL
02:04:50 HAVE A NEED TO MANAGE AND ENFORCE IT BASED ON WHAT WE
02:04:53 HAVE SEEN AT 1174 FOLSOM AND WHAT WE'VE ALSO LEARNED
02:04:57 FROM DRUG FREE PCH PROVIDERS IN THE STATE OF OREGON.
02:04:58 WE SHOULD EXPECT EVICTIONS UNDER THIS ORDINANCE TO BE
02:05:01 EXCEEDINGLY RARE. THE SELF-SELECTION OF RESIDENTS
02:05:05 WHO VOLUNTARILY OPT INTO DRUG FREE RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES
02:05:09 LARGELY SOLVES IN ADVANCE FOR SCENARIOS THAT INVOLVE
02:05:13 PERSISTENT DRUG RELAPSES OR HABITUAL RETURNS TO USE.
02:05:16 STILL, EVEN THOUGH THEY MAY BE VERY RARE.
02:05:21 EDGE CASE SCENARIOS EXIST AND THIS LEGISLATION MUST
02:05:22 ADDRESS THEM. GIVEN THAT RELOCATIONS MAY BE
02:05:25 NECESSARY TO PROTECT THE INTEGRITY OF DRUG FREE
02:05:28 RESIDENTIAL COMMUNITIES, NO RESIDENT OF DRUG FREE PCH WILL
02:05:32 EVER BE EVICTED FOR A SINGLE RELAPSE.
02:05:35 AND CRITICALLY WE'VE BUILT A ROBUST PROCESS IN THIS
02:05:36 LEGISLATION THAT REQUIRES HCA TO OFFER ALTERNATIVE HOUSING OR
02:05:40 SHELTER TOGETHER WITH SERVICES BEFORE AN EVICTION CAN EVEN
02:05:44 TAKE PLACE. FINALLY, THIS ORDINANCE
02:05:47 PROVIDES FOR A PARTICIPATORY AND INCLUSIVE RULE MAKING
02:05:48 PROCESS. COLLEAGUES AND ADVOCATES WILL
02:05:51 HAVE AN AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO HELP SHAPE RULES AND POLICIES
02:05:54 THAT BEST SERVE RESIDENTS. AS THIS LEGISLATION IS
02:05:58 IMPLEMENTED. NOW HAVING SAID THAT, I AM
02:05:59 AWARE THAT THERE IS INTEREST FROM COLLEAGUES IN AMENDMENTS
02:06:02 AND I AM ON BOARD WITH ONE THAT WILL FURTHER COMMIT THIS
02:06:06 LEGISLATION TO THE GOAL OF AVOIDING EVICTIONS.
02:06:09 AND ACCORDINGLY I WOULD LIKE TO MOVE AN AMENDMENT TO ADD
02:06:10 EVICTIONS AND TO PAGE EIGHT LINE 24 SO THAT THAT SUB
02:06:16 SUBSECTION NOW READS THREE IN COLLABORATION WITH THE
02:06:20 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH MAKING GOOD AND MAKING A GOOD
02:06:24 FAITH EFFORT TO ACCOMMODATE SUCH RESIDENTS HOUSING
02:06:27 AND SERVICE NEEDS WHEN IDENTIFYING ALTERNATIVE
02:06:29 PLACEMENTS WITH THE GOAL OF AVOIDING EVICTIONS AND RETURNS
02:06:34 TO HOMELESSNESS. NOW IT'S ALSO MY UNDERSTANDING
02:06:38 THAT THERE IS INTEREST IN AN ADDITIONAL AMENDMENT THAT WOULD
02:06:40 REMOVE SHELTERS AS A RELOCATION OPTION.
02:06:42 I WILL RESPECTFULLY NOT BE SUPPORTING THAT AMENDMENT.
02:06:46 AND ALTHOUGH I'M NOT FOR PHILOSOPHICALLY OPPOSED TO IT
02:06:49 AFTER CONSULTING WITH THE MAYOR'S POLICY DIRECTOR CONOR
02:06:54 MODY WHO HAS BEEN WORKING CLOSELY WITH HSA ON HOW THIS
02:06:57 LEGISLATION WOULD BE ADMINISTERED AND ENFORCED IF
02:06:58 ENACTED, I'M TOLD THAT REMOVING SHELTERS AS A RELOCATION OPTION
02:07:04 COULD RISK SABOTAGING HCA TO HIS ABILITY TO MAINTAIN THE
02:07:08 INTEGRITY OF A DRUG FREE COMMUNITY.
02:07:12 THAT OBVIOUSLY WOULD RUN COUNTER TO THE CORE INTENT OF
02:07:13 THIS LEGISLATION. IN THE EVENT THAT A COMPARABLE
02:07:16 UNIT IS NOT AVAILABLE, I BELIEVE WE NEED TO HAVE THE
02:07:20 OPTION OF SHELTER. THAT'S WHAT HCA AND MR. MOTI
02:07:23 HAVE INFORMED ME. KEEPING ALL OPTIONS OPEN FOR
02:07:24 THESE CASES WILL HELP TO SERVE OUR SHARED GOAL OF AVOIDING
02:07:28 RETURNS TO HOMELESSNESS AS A MAKER.
02:07:31 I THINK WE SHOULD BE SENSITIVE TO NOT BEING OVERLY
02:07:33 PRESCRIPTIVE IN HOW WE LEGISLATE TO AVOID SETTING OUR
02:07:35 DEPARTMENTS UP FOR FAILURE. I WANT TO GIVE HCA TO THE
02:07:39 FLEXIBILITY IT NEEDS TO MAKE DRUG FREE HOUSING SUCCESSFUL.
02:07:42 I AM CONFIDENT THAT THE SPECIFICS ON HOUSING OFFERS
02:07:46 EVICTIONS AND BROADER PROGRAM COMPONENTS CAN BE ADDRESSED
02:07:49 IN THE RULEMAKING PROCESS. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH THE INCOMING
02:07:53 HCA DIRECTOR MIKE LEVINE AND HE HAS ASSURED ME THAT THE RULE
02:07:57 MAKING PROCESS WILL BE PARTICIPATORY AND INCLUSIVE AS
02:08:01 THIS LEGISLATIVE PROCESS HAS BEEN.
02:08:02 SO I DO WANT TO THANK THE LEADERS, ORGANIZATIONS,
02:08:05 ACADEMICS WHO SUPPORTED THIS LEGISLATION.
02:08:07 TWO OF THEM ARE GIANTS IN THE DRUG POLICY REALM.
02:08:09 KEITH HUMPHREYS, WHO SERVED AS PRESIDENT OBAMA'S WHITE HOUSE
02:08:13 ADVISER. AND A LEMKE WHO SERVES AS
02:08:16 DIRECTOR OF ADDICTION MEDICINE AT STANFORD.
02:08:17 THANKS AS WELL TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS FROM THE RECOVERY
02:08:20 COMMUNITY ESPECIALLY RECOVERY COMMUNITY ADVOCATES THERE ARE
02:08:24 COATES AND RICHARD BEALL WHO ARE CO-FOUNDERS OF BROTHERS
02:08:25 AGAINST DRUGS. SIMILARLY CEDRIC AKBAR, STEVE
02:08:28 ADAMI, TOM WOLFE, BRANDON CLARKE, AMBER RICHMOND AMONG
02:08:31 OTHERS. POSITIVE DIRECTIONS EQUALS
02:08:32 CHANGE MOTHERS AGAINST DRUG ADDICTION AND DEATHS THE
02:08:35 SALVATION ARMY, BAY AREA COUNCIL AND THE AMERICAN
02:08:39 ADDICTION RECOVERY ASSOCIATION ESPECIALLY AMERICA FITO WHO IS
02:08:40 A MEMBER OF ITS BOARD OF GOVERNORS.
02:08:43 AND WITH THAT I WANT TO THANK ALL MY COLLEAGUES.
02:08:46 THANK THANK YOU FOR HEARING ME OUT AND WORKING WITH ME ON THIS
02:08:50 . >> I HOPE TO HAVE YOUR SUPPORT
02:08:51 ON THE AMENDMENT AND ALSO ON THE LEGISLATION.
02:08:53 >> SUPERVISOR DORSEY HAS MADE A MOTION TO AMEND THE
02:08:58 LEGISLATION. >> IT HAS BEEN SECONDED BY
02:08:59 SUPERVISOR CHERYL. >> SUPERVISOR FIELDER THINGS
02:09:02 PRESIDENT MIDDLEMEN. >> COLLEAGUES FIRST I JUST WANT
02:09:05 TO SAY I DO BELIEVE IN HAVING MORE ABSTINENT OR SOBER HOUSING
02:09:09 AS AN OPTION FOR UNHOUSED PEOPLE WHO ARE IN RECOVERY FROM
02:09:13 SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER. SO I SUPPORT THAT SPIRIT OF THE
02:09:17 LEGISLATION AND I SUPPORT THE PROVISION OF THIS LEGISLATION
02:09:21 AND THAT I THINK SMARTLY ADMINISTERS A SURVEY OF
02:09:24 PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING RESIDENTS THE AIM OF WHICH IS
02:09:25 TO ASSESS THEIR INTERESTS IN ABSTINENT HOUSING.
02:09:29 FOR THAT I THINK SUPERVISOR DORSEY FOR TAKING ON THIS WORK.
02:09:32 >> HOWEVER, I JUST FIRST WANT TO SAY I THINK THE TERMINOLOGY
02:09:36 IN THIS LEGISLATION IS PROBLEMATIC.
02:09:39 >> I'M NOT SURE HOW BIFURCATING PERMANENT HOUSING INTO DRUG
02:09:43 TOLERANT VERSUS DRUG FREE HOUSING PAST REVIEW AT THE CITY
02:09:47 ATTORNEY'S OFFICE AS THIS KIND OF FRAMING I WOULD THINK PUTS A
02:09:50 LITIGATION TARGET ON THE CITY'S BACK AND THE TERM DRUG TOLERANT
02:09:54 HOUSING SUGGESTS THAT THE CITY ALLOWS PEOPLE TO OPENLY USE
02:09:57 DRUGS IN CITY FUNDED PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING AND THAT'S
02:10:02 JUST NOT THE CASE. LESS LEGALLY RISKY AND TO ME
02:10:05 LESS STIGMATIZING TERMINOLOGY WOULD BE ABSTINENT OR SOBER
02:10:09 HOUSING AND LOW BARRIER HOUSING.
02:10:13 >> I ALSO APPRECIATE SUPERVISOR DORSEY FOR ADDING AN AMENDMENT
02:10:16 CLARIFYING THE GOAL OF THIS LEGISLATION IS TO AVOID
02:10:20 EVICTIONS. >> HOWEVER, I FEAR THAT THE
02:10:21 LEGISLATION BEFORE US AS WRITTEN LACKS STRONG PROTOCOLS
02:10:24 FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT TO RESIDENTS FACING EVICTION FROM
02:10:28 ABSTINENT HOUSING AND WILL HAVE THE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF
02:10:32 ACTUALLY DRIVING UP HOMELESSNESS AND THEREFORE DRUG
02:10:36 USE ON OUR STREETS. >> GETTING PEOPLE INTO
02:10:40 PERMANENTLY SUPPORTIVE HOUSING TAKES A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF
02:10:43 CITY EFFORT IN THE FIRST PLACE. THE LEGISLATION AS WRITTEN
02:10:47 ALLOWS FOR SOMEONE TO BE EVICTED FROM SOBER HOUSING TO A
02:10:48 SHELTER THAT IS NOT GOING TO PROVIDE SOMEONE IN RECOVERY
02:10:52 STABILITY. RESEARCH SHOWS THAT RELAPSE IS
02:10:56 A PART OF RECOVERY AS MUCH AS SIX TIMES BEFORE THEY GET SOBER
02:10:59 WHICH IS WHY UPON SECOND RELAPSE PEOPLE SHOULD BE
02:11:03 OFFERED THE OPTION FOR TREATMENT AND IF THEY
02:11:06 PARTICIPATE IN TREATMENT BE ABLE TO RETURN TO THEIR UNIT.
02:11:11 SHELTER IS NOT HOUSING. SHELTER IS A ROUGH PLACE FOR
02:11:15 SOMEONE STRUGGLING WITH SUBSTANCE USE ORDER TO BE A
02:11:18 PERSON IS NOT CONSIDERED HOUSED WHEN THEY'RE IN SHELTER THEY'RE
02:11:20 STILL CONSIDERED HOMELESS. I ALSO THINK IT IS FEASIBLE FOR
02:11:23 THE CITY TO PROVIDE AND RELOCATE SOMEONE TO
02:11:26 COMPARABLE ALTERNATIVE HOUSING .
02:11:30 AS OF RIGHT NOW TODAY SAN FRANCISCO HAS 762 VACANT
02:11:34 PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING UNITS OUT OF ITS INVENTORY OF
02:11:38 OVER 9160 THREE UNITS AND THESE EMPTY UNITS 322 ARE CURRENTLY
02:11:44 UNDERGOING THE MOVE IN PROCESS 345 ARE OFFLINE FOR MAINTENANCE
02:11:47 AND REPAIRS AND A WHOLE 90 FIVE ARE FULLY READY FOR IMMEDIATE
02:11:51 TENANT REFERRALS. I APPRECIATE ALL THE WORK
02:11:55 THAT'S BEEN PUT INTO THIS LEGISLATION TO MINIMIZE THE
02:11:58 LEGISLATION'S IMPACT ON EVICTIONS BUT I STILL THINK IT
02:12:00 DOESN'T PROVIDE ENOUGH POLICY DIRECTION TO ENSURE THAT PEOPLE
02:12:03 WILL NOT BE EVICTED BACK TO SHELTERS AND THEREFORE INTO
02:12:07 HOUSING INSTABILITY. FOR THIS REASON I'D LIKE TO
02:12:10 MAKE A MOTION TO ADOPT THE FOLLOWING AMENDMENTS THAT MY
02:12:12 STAFF DISTRIBUTED EARLIER TODAY .
02:12:15 CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE HAS CONFIRMED THESE ARE NON
02:12:16 SUBSTANTIVE AND WILL NOT DELAY THE PASSAGE OF THIS
02:12:19 LEGISLATION. >> THE AMENDMENTS ARE AS
02:12:20 FOLLOWS PAGE FOUR LINE 19 FOR RELOCATION TO ANOTHER OPTION
02:12:26 STRIKING OUT OR SHELTER. ON PAGES EIGHT ON PAGE EIGHT
02:12:31 LINES 12 AND 13 CONFIRMATION FROM MATRIX H THAT THE RESIDENT
02:12:34 HAS BEEN OFFERED COMPARABLE ALTERNATIVE HOUSING STRIKING
02:12:38 OUT OR SHELTER TO ENSURE THAT THEY ARE NOT EVICTED INTO
02:12:42 HOMELESSNESS. AND PAGE EIGHT LINE 19 AN
02:12:46 OFFERING SUCH RESIDENTS APPROPRIATE ALTERNATIVE HOUSING
02:12:49 BY STRIKING OUT SHELTER PLACEMENT OR A PATHWAY TO
02:12:53 HOUSING PRIOR TO PROGRAM DISCHARGE OR EVICTION.
02:12:56 >> COLLEAGUES I WOULD APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT.
02:12:57 SUPERVISOR FIELDER HAS MADE A MOTION IS THERE A SECOND FOR
02:13:04 SECONDED BY MELGAR? SUPERVISOR MELGAR THANK YOU SO
02:13:09 MUCH. >> I WANTED TO START MY REMARKS
02:13:12 BY THANKING A SUPERVISOR DORSEY .
02:13:16 WHEN YOU FIRST SPOKE TO ME ABOUT THIS LEGISLATION I WAS
02:13:19 LIKE OVER A YEAR AGO YOU'VE BEEN AT THIS FOR A REALLY LONG
02:13:21 TIME AND THIS LEGISLATION ACTUALLY HAS REALLY MOVED.
02:13:24 SO I WANTED TO FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU FOR YOUR ENGAGEMENT
02:13:31 AND FOR INCORPORATING MY FEEDBACK AND THE FEEDBACK OF
02:13:35 OTHERS IN THE COMMUNITY. AND I KNOW THAT IT TOOK A LOT
02:13:39 OF HAT AND HEART FOR YOU TO DO THAT AND I JUST WANT TO
02:13:43 APPRECIATE YOU FOR THAT. I AM UNCOMFORTABLE IN SOME OF
02:13:47 SIMILAR WAYS AS WERE DESCRIBED BY SUPERVISOR FIELDER.
02:13:54 >> AND I THINK THAT I CAN GET OVER MY DISCOMFORT OF WORDS
02:14:02 ESPECIALLY IF OUR CITY ATTORNEY IS VOUCHING FOR THIS AS I
02:14:06 ASSUME THEY DID BECAUSE IT'S APPROVED AS A FORM AND I WANT
02:14:13 TO LIKE APPRECIATE YOUR PASSION TO PROVIDE SERVICES
02:14:17 AND ALTERNATIVES FOR THIS POPULATION.
02:14:21 >> HOWEVER, I DO WANT TO STRONGLY MAKE A PITCH TO
02:14:24 SUPPORT SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S AMENDMENTS AS PROPOSED.
02:14:28 I THINK WE ARE TRYING TO TRY OUT SOMETHING NEW YOU KNOW
02:14:33 AND I THINK THAT WHENEVER YOU TRY SOMETHING NEW YOU'RE
02:14:37 BUILDING A LOT OF THINGS AND ASSUMPTIONS AND FRAMEWORKS
02:14:40 FROM SCRATCH IN PUTTING THIS FORWARD WE ARE PUTTING FORWARD
02:14:44 A NEW POLICY AND I THINK IT'S ENTIRELY APPROPRIATE EVEN IF
02:14:48 THE DEPARTMENT WANTS MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY FOR US TO SAY BUT
02:14:53 THESE ARE THE PARAMETERS. THIS IS WHAT WE DON'T WANT TO
02:14:57 HAPPEN. WE DON'T WANT SOMEBODY WHO
02:15:00 DOESN'T HAVE THE LINEAR PROGRESSION OF YOU KNOW LIKE
02:15:04 BEING SOBER FALLS OFF THE WAGON A COUPLE TIMES TO HAVE TO GO
02:15:08 BACK TO SQUARE ONE AND HAVE TO START IN THE COORDINATED ENTRY
02:15:12 SYSTEM AT A SHELTER BECAUSE AS MY COLLEAGUE SUPERVISOR FIELDER
02:15:16 DESCRIBED, IT'S NOT A GOOD PLACE TO BE ESPECIALLY IF
02:15:20 YOU'RE IN CRISIS. >> AND SO WE ALL KNOW THAT WE
02:15:23 HAVE HUNDREDS OF UNITS IN PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
02:15:26 THAT ARE VACANT. I THINK THAT SETTING A
02:15:27 PARAMETER FOR THE DEPARTMENT IS APPROPRIATE.
02:15:31 I WILL SAY I HAD A RECENT EXPERIENCE WITH THE DEPARTMENT
02:15:37 WITH THE RV PROGRAM WHICH WAS MOSTLY SUCCESSFUL AND THERE HAS
02:15:42 BEEN HICCUPS ON THE ONE OFF SCENE OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T QUITE
02:15:45 FIT OR YOU KNOW, FELL THROUGH THE CRACKS IN THE OUTREACH
02:15:49 AND SO I DO THINK THAT IT IS APPROPRIATE TO, YOU KNOW, SORT
02:15:55 OF PUT THAT PARAMETER AND SAY THIS IS WHAT WE WOULD LIKE TO
02:15:57 SEE AND I THINK SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S AMENDMENTS DO SPEAK
02:16:03 TO THAT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR PREPARING
02:16:04 THEM. SUPERVISOR FIELDER AND THEN
02:16:07 AGAIN THANK YOU SUPERVISOR DORSEY FOR THE WORK AND PASSION
02:16:11 THAT YOU HAVE PUT INTO THIS. >> SUPERVISOR DORSEY THANK YOU
02:16:18 PRESIDENT MANDOLIN. I JUST I DO WANT TO ADDRESS THE
02:16:22 TERMINOLOGY AROUND DRUG TOLERANT AS DISTINCT FROM DRUG
02:16:26 FREE AND EXPLAIN WHY THROUGHOUT THIS PROCESS I HAVE
02:16:30 CONSISTENTLY IDENTIFIED THIS AS A HILL.
02:16:32 I WOULD ABSOLUTELY DIE ON. THOSE OF US IN THE POLICYMAKING
02:16:35 REALM CAN SOMETIMES ADOPT TERMS OF ART THAT WE UNDERSTAND
02:16:39 WITHOUT FULLY APPRECIATING THAT THESE USE EUPHEMISMS
02:16:43 AND SLOGANS HOLD NO INTRINSIC OR INTUITIVE MEANING FOR THE
02:16:49 PEOPLE THEY'RE DESIGNED TO SERVE.
02:16:50 THERE IS NOTHING ABOUT TERMS LIKE HOUSING FIRST OR
02:16:53 TRADITIONAL PCH OR LOW BARRIER OR HARM REDUCTION HOUSING THAT
02:16:57 COULD REASONABLY OR INTUITIVELY BE EXPECTED TO MEAN DRUG
02:17:01 TOLERANT EVEN THOUGH THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT THE LAW MEANS.
02:17:07 I WANT TO READ FROM CALIFORNIA LAW HERE.
02:17:08 THIS IS WELFARE AND INSTITUTIONS CODE SECTION
02:17:12 8255. THIS IS WHERE THE CORE
02:17:15 COMPONENTS OF HOUSING FIRST MANDATE THE FOLLOWING LEASE
02:17:17 PROVISIONS AND PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING FOR STATE
02:17:20 FUNDED PCH. QUOTE THE USE OF ALCOHOL OR
02:17:23 DRUGS IN AND OF ITSELF WITHOUT OTHER LEASE VIOLATIONS IS NOT A
02:17:27 REASON FOR EVICTION. SERVICES ARE INFORMED BY A HARM
02:17:30 REDUCTION PHILOSOPHY THAT RECOGNIZES DRUG USE
02:17:31 AND ADDICTION AS PART OF TENANTS LIVES.
02:17:34 AND IT PRESCRIBES THAT SUPPORT FOR RESIDENTS WHO ENGAGE
02:17:37 IN ILLICIT DRUG USE TO BE NON-JUDGMENTAL COMMUNICATION
02:17:41 IN WHICH TENANTS ARE OFFERED EDUCATION ON HOW TO ENGAGE
02:17:42 IN SAFER PRACTICES. I HAVE NO OBJECTIONS TO THAT.
02:17:46 BUT BY ANY DEFINITION THESE PROVISIONS ARE DRUG TOLERANT.
02:17:49 THERE ARE ALSO WHOLLY UNIQUE TO PCH RESIDENTS.
02:17:53 THESE ARE NOT THESE PROVISIONS FOUND IN ANY OTHER RESIDENTIAL
02:17:57 LEASE IN SAN FRANCISCO OR IN CALIFORNIA FOR THAT MATTER.
02:18:03 YOU KNOW, THERE ARE PROFESSIONAL STANDARDS AROUND
02:18:05 PUBLIC HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INCLUDING IN THE AMA'S CODE OF
02:18:08 MEDICAL ETHICS THAT CAUTION AGAINST THE YOUTH THE USE OF
02:18:12 EUPHEMISMS AND SLOGAN SLOGANS WHEN IT MASKS INFORMATION THAT
02:18:15 IS IMPORTANT AND MEANINGFUL TO THOSE BEING SERVED.
02:18:18 AND I THINK IT IS THE HEIGHT OF POLICYMAKING ARROGANCE FRANKLY
02:18:22 TO ASSUME THAT INDIVIDUALS EXITING HOMELESSNESS INTO PCH
02:18:26 SHOULD BE EXPECTED TO KNOW THAT THE EUPHEMISM HOUSING FIRST
02:18:29 MEANS DRUG TOLERANT. EVEN THOUGH THAT INFORMATION
02:18:33 MAY MEAN EVERYTHING TO THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF THE
02:18:34 RESIDENT, WE'RE ENDEAVORING TO SERVE.
02:18:38 I HAD A CONSTITUENT NAMED DANIEL MACLENNAN.
02:18:41 DANIEL IS A TALENTED ARTIST, A FORMER PCH RESIDENT ON SIXTH
02:18:45 STREET IN MY DISTRICT. SOME OF YOU MAY HAVE MET HIM OR
02:18:48 RECALL HIM BECAUSE HE TESTIFIED IN FAVOR OF ASSEMBLY MEMBER
02:18:52 MATT HANEY'S LEGISLATION IN SACRAMENTO TO REFORM HOUSING
02:18:55 FIRST AT THE STATE LEVEL. DANIEL IS ALSO A RECOVERING
02:18:59 OPIOID ADDICT. HERE IS SOMEBODY WHO'S
02:19:00 LITERALLY FIGHTING FOR HIS LIFE ON MEDICATION ASSISTED
02:19:03 TREATMENT. AND WE PLACED HIM INTO A
02:19:06 HOUSING FIRST ENVIRONMENT WITH NO FOREWARNING OF HOW DRUG
02:19:10 TOLERANT AND CHAOTIC THE ENVIRONMENT WE WERE PUTTING HIM
02:19:13 INTO WAS. IT WAS VERY NEARLY CATASTROPHIC
02:19:17 TO HIS WELL-BEING. IT BROKE MY HEART TO HEAR HIM
02:19:21 SAY HOW DAMAGING HIS LIVING ENVIRONMENT WAS TO HIS MENTAL
02:19:22 HEALTH AND TO HIS SOBRIETY. HE TOLD ME THAT IF HE DIDN'T
02:19:26 HAVE RESPONSIBILITY FOR A DOG HE WOULD RATHER BE ON THE
02:19:29 STREET BECAUSE IT WOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER FOR HIS MENTAL
02:19:33 HEALTH. THE GOOD NEWS IS THAT DANIEL
02:19:36 JUST CELEBRATED ONE YEAR OF CONTINUOUS SOBRIETY BUT HE HAD
02:19:37 TO DO IT IN FRESNO. I HAVE ANOTHER CONSTITUENT
02:19:40 WHO'S ALSO IN RECOVERY FOR ALCOHOL.
02:19:44 SHE IS A MOTHER OF THREE CHILDREN WHO TOLD ME SHE HAD NO
02:19:46 IDEA THAT THE FACILITY WE MOVED HER FAMILY INTO.
02:19:49 THIS IS THE MARGO IN MY DISTRICT WOULD HAVE SUCH A
02:19:52 RAMPANT DRUG USE. SHE TOLD ME THAT AFTER DOING
02:19:55 EVERYTHING SHE COULD TO RESCUE HER KIDS FROM THE TRAUMA OF
02:19:58 UNSHELTERED HOMELESSNESS THEY WERE BEING RETRAUMATIZED BY
02:20:02 FATAL OVERDOSES HAPPENING ALL AROUND THEM.
02:20:06 SHE WORKED WITH MY OFFICE TO GET RELOCATED.
02:20:07 BUT FOR A MOTHER OF THREE SMALL CHILDREN AND RECOVERY HERSELF,
02:20:11 INFORMATION ABOUT THE DRUG TOLERANT POLICIES SHE WOULD BE
02:20:14 LIVING IN WOULD HAVE BEEN GOOD INFORMATION FOR HER TO HAVE
02:20:15 IN ADVANCE. SHE HAS SINCE MOVED TO ANOTHER
02:20:18 FACILITY WHERE THERE IS MORE SEPARATION BETWEEN FAMILIES
02:20:22 AND HABITUAL DRUG USERS. BUT IT REALLY HAS BEEN A
02:20:23 CHALLENGE FOR HER AND HER FAMILY AND SHE STRONGLY
02:20:26 SUPPORTS A DRUG FREE ALTERNATIVE.
02:20:27 BOTH OF THESE CONSTITUENTS AMONG MANY OTHER BROTHERS
02:20:30 AND SISTERS IN RECOVERY INSPIRED THIS LEGISLATION.
02:20:33 BUT THERE ARE ALSO ABIDING EXAMPLES OF WHY PCH RESIDENTS
02:20:37 DESERVE THE COURTESY OF CLEAR, ACCURATE TERMINATOR TERMINAL
02:20:41 LOGY AND NOT MISGUIDED LEADING EUPHEMISMS ABOUT DRUG POLICIES
02:20:45 AND WHERE THEY RESIDE. THIS IS IMPORTANT TO THEIR
02:20:46 SOBRIETY AND IN MANY WAYS BY EXTENSION IMPORTANT TO THEIR
02:20:50 VERY SURVIVAL. AND THAT WAS WHY THIS IS SUCH
02:20:54 AN IMPORTANT POLICY THAT I THINK WE DESCRIBE IT ACCURATELY
02:21:00 SUPERVISED JEN. >> THANK YOU.
02:21:04 BILL PRESS AND FIRST I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO ACKNOWLEDGE
02:21:08 SUPERVISOR DORSEY AND THE WATER HE AND HIS TEAM HAVE PUT INTO
02:21:11 THIS LEGISLATION. I RECOGNIZE THAT HE HAS SPENT A
02:21:15 LOT OF TIME WORKING ON AMENDMENTS TO TRY TO ALLEVIATE
02:21:19 CONCERNS FROM DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS.
02:21:20 >> I WANT TO SAY THAT ON THE RECORD THAT I AM VERY
02:21:23 SUPPORTIVE OF SOBER HOUSING SOLUTIONS BUT AT THE SAME TIME
02:21:27 I DO HAVE DO HAVE SOME CONCERNS ABOUT THIS LEGISLATION.
02:21:31 I DON'T BELIEVE THAT OUR CITY SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTING SOBER
02:21:35 HOUSING ENVIRONMENTS IN A WAY THAT COULD CAUSE HARM TO THOSE
02:21:39 WHO CANNOT LIVE SUCCESSFULLY IN THAT ENVIRONMENT.
02:21:40 >> SOBER HOUSING SOLUTIONS SHOULD NOT COME AT THE RISK OF
02:21:43 MAKING SOME PEOPLE HOUSING INSECURE.
02:21:47 >> GIVEN THE AFFORDABILITY CRISIS FACING IN THE CITY
02:21:50 COUPLED WITH THE FACT THAT WE ARE ACTIVELY TRYING TO CREATE
02:21:54 MORE FLOW THROUGH THE SYSTEM AND I'M WORRIED ABOUT ADDING
02:21:59 NEW BARRIERS WITH THE COUNTER INTUITIVE WILL BE
02:22:03 COUNTERINTUITIVE TO OUR LONG TERM GOALS.
02:22:06 >> AGAIN, I'M VERY APPRECIATIVE OF ALL THE GOOD FAITH AND GOOD
02:22:10 WORK THAT YOU AND THE CARE THAT YOU PUT IN SUPERVISOR DORSEY
02:22:13 AND ALSO YOUR TEAM AND ALSO ALL THIS DIFFERENT STAKEHOLDERS ON
02:22:18 THIS LEGISLATION. AND I ALSO WOULD LIKE TO SAY
02:22:21 THAT I AM SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERVISOR FIONA'S AMENDMENT
02:22:29 AND IF HER AMENDMENTS PASSES AND I WILL ALSO BE THEN WILLING
02:22:30 AND ABLE TO SUPPORT THIS LEGISLATION.
02:22:33 >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHAN THANK YOU.
02:22:37 >> YES, I AM IN AGREEMENT AND SHARED THE SENTIMENT THAT
02:22:44 THANK YOU SUPERVISOR DORSEY. I THINK THAT IT DOES TAKE A LOT
02:22:48 OF EFFORT TO FOR THE CITY TO HAVE ALTERNATIVES AND I THINK
02:22:52 THAT WHEN I WHEN DIRECTOR DAN CI ACTUALLY WAS APPOINTED TO
02:22:57 HIS POSITION ONE OF THE QUESTIONS WAS ASKED
02:23:01 SPECIFICALLY ABOUT HOW DO WE REALLY PROBLEM SOLVED FENTANYL
02:23:07 CRISIS IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND I REALLY APPRECIATE HIS
02:23:09 ANSWER AT THAT MOMENT I AND I THINK THAT THAT IS WHERE MY
02:23:13 APPROACH IS TO PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS.
02:23:16 AND WHEN IT COMES TO THE DRUG CRISIS IS THAT WE HAVE TO MEET
02:23:19 PEOPLE WHERE THEY'RE AT AND THAT WE NEED TO PROVIDE ALL
02:23:22 OPTIONS. AND I ABSOLUTELY BELIEVE THAT
02:23:23 SOBER HOUSING OR DRUG FREE HOUSING IS AND HAS TO BE
02:23:28 ABSOLUTELY AN OPTION THAT WE OFFER AS A CITY.
02:23:31 >> I THINK FOR A HERE THAT I CAN ALSO UNDERSTAND TO MAKE
02:23:38 SURE THAT WE PROTECT INTEGRITY OF SOBER HOUSING AND DRUG FREE
02:23:42 HOUSING THAT FOR THOSE WHO FALL SHORT OF THAT WE'LL HAVE TO
02:23:46 RECONSIDER OR BE RECONSIDER FOR A DIFFERENT LOCATION FOR TO
02:23:54 CONTINUE ON WITH TREATMENT AND HOUSING OPTION.
02:23:57 I THINK THAT IS WHERE THE RUBBER MEETS THE ROAD AND IT
02:23:59 MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR US TO FIGURE OUT HOW THEN DO WE STILL
02:24:05 CONTINUE TO SUPPORT THESE INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE CLEARLY
02:24:09 FALL SHORT AND CANNOT MAINTAIN SOBRIETY IN THIS SITUATION
02:24:14 AND ACTUALLY IMPACT THOSE WHO SEEK SOBRIETY AND ARE HAVING
02:24:18 SUCCESS AND ALREADY WORKING HARD, YOU KNOW, TOWARDS TO
02:24:21 MAINTAIN THAT SUCCESS. AND SO WHAT I'M SEEING IS THAT
02:24:28 IT PAINS ME TO SEE THE LANGUAGE IN HERE THAT I TOTALLY
02:24:32 UNDERSTAND THE CHALLENGE AND THE STRUGGLE WITH WORDS
02:24:35 AND HOW TO IDENTIFY IDS, HOUSING AND OPTIONS FOR
02:24:39 INDIVIDUALS AND THEN MAKE SURE THAT THE INTENT IT'S CLEAR THE
02:24:43 POLICY IT'S CLEAR. IT ALSO PAINS ME TO TO SEE THAT
02:24:50 I DON'T SEE THAT THERE ARE MUTUALLY EXCLUSIVE MEANING TO
02:24:51 SUPPORT THOSE WHO ARE FIGHTING HARD AND MAINTAINING SUCCESS
02:24:58 IN SOBER HOUSING AND THOSE WHO HAVE FOR SHORT ANY ALTERNATIVE
02:25:02 OPTIONS SO THAT THEY CAN REMAIN HOUSE AND STILL RECEIVE
02:25:03 TREATMENT. IF YOU AND I THINK THAT IT'S A
02:25:10 REASON WHY I SUPPORT BOTH. SO I SEE DORSEY'S AMENDMENT AS
02:25:12 WOW SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S AMENDMENTS TODAY.
02:25:14 I WOULD LOVE TO SEE THOSE WERE RELOCATION INSTEAD OF EVICTION
02:25:21 IN THIS POLICY. TO BE HONEST AND TO KIND OF PUT
02:25:25 THE RESPONSIBILITY ACTUALLY ON THE CITY GIVEN THE FACT THAT
02:25:29 WE'RE NOW NARROWING IT DOWN TO CITY FUNDED AND NEW SITES.
02:25:33 I THINK THAT THE CITY SHOULD HAVE AN OWNERSHIP IN THIS TO
02:25:38 SAY THAT WE SHOULD OWN THAT TO PROVIDE AND SUPPORT THE
02:25:44 PROVIDERS AND OPERATORS THAT WE REALLY HATE INDIVIDUALS WHO
02:25:48 FALL SHORT IN THE DRUG FREE HOUSING SETTING.
02:25:56 >> I AM STRUGGLING WITH THIS AND I HAVE BEEN SINCE THE TIME
02:26:01 THAT SUPERVISOR DORSEY HAS INTRODUCED THIS LEGISLATION.
02:26:05 I WAS VERY GRATEFUL THE FACT THAT THERE WAS AGREEMENT TO
02:26:08 SEND US BACK TO COMMITTEE SO THAT THERE WAS ONGOING
02:26:10 CONVERSATION AND DISCUSSION AND ALLOWING SOME SPACE.
02:26:13 BUT I DIDN'T KNOW THAT EVENTUALLY WILL COME BACK AND I
02:26:17 WAS HOPING FOR A VERSION THAT WENT USING TERMINOLOGY THAT I
02:26:24 CAN BE ON BOARD WITH AND BE MORE COMFORTABLE WITH BECAUSE I
02:26:25 DO KNOW IS IT IS NOT ACTUALLY ABOUT THE TERMINOLOGY OR JUST
02:26:29 ABOUT THE TERMINOLOGY BEING USED BUT TRULY IS REALLY ABOUT
02:26:32 THE POLICY THAT IT'S BEING IMPLEMENTED AND HOW WE CAN
02:26:35 ACTUALLY SUPPORT INDIVIDUALS WITH THEIR DIVERSE NEEDS
02:26:39 AND WITH DIVERSE OPTIONS AND THAT THEY CAN ALL REACH
02:26:43 SUCCESS AND BECOME FUNCTIONING MEMBERS OF OUR SOCIETY ONCE
02:26:47 MORE. AND BECAUSE I DO RECOGNIZE THAT
02:26:51 IT'S A PUBLIC HEALTH CRISIS AND IS A DISEASE THAT NO ONE
02:26:54 SHOULD BE CRIMINALIZED FOR FOR FIGHTING AND TO GET BETTER
02:26:58 AND TRY TO GET YOU KNOW. BUT ALSO NO ONE SHOULD BE
02:27:03 HOMELESS WHEN THEY ALSO TRYING TO AGAIN FIGHT THIS DISEASE.
02:27:09 SO I AM STRUGGLING WITH THOSE COLLEAGUES AND I'M HOPING THAT
02:27:13 WE CAN APPROVE BOTH THE AMENDMENTS SO THAT WE CAN
02:27:17 SUPPORT THIS FOR NOW AND REVISIT THIS CONVERSATION
02:27:21 ONCE MORE ONCE WE LEARN BETTER ABOUT THE DATA AND HOW
02:27:24 SUCCESSFUL INDIVIDUALS CAN BE AND AND WHETHER OR NOT PEOPLE
02:27:29 DO END UP FALLING INTO HOMELESSNESS AND AND HOW DO WE
02:27:32 END UP SUPPORTING THE INDIVIDUALS?
02:27:36 >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR WONG COLLEAGUES, I'M
02:27:40 PROUD TO CO-SPONSOR THIS MEASURE BECAUSE AT ITS CORE IT
02:27:44 IS ABOUT GIVING PEOPLE A CHANCE.
02:27:46 PEOPLE WORKING TO OVERCOME ADDICTION DESERVE A CHANCE TO
02:27:48 LIVE SOMEWHERE THAT SUPPORTS THEIR RECOVERY.
02:27:51 FAMILIES WITH CHILDREN, SENIORS AND RESIDENTS WHO SIMPLY WANTS
02:27:55 A HOME FREE FROM ILLICIT DRUG USE DESERVE THAT CHANCE TO.
02:27:59 SAN FRANCISCO HAS TRIED MANY APPROACHES WITH GOOD INTENTIONS
02:28:03 BUT GOOD INTENTIONS ALONE ARE NOT ENOUGH AND THE RESULTS
02:28:04 SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES. TOO MANY PEOPLE REMAIN TRAPPED
02:28:08 IN ADDICTION. TOO MANY RESIDENTS FEEL UNSAFE
02:28:11 IN THEIR OWN BUILDINGS AND TOO MANY PEOPLE TRYING TO RECOVER
02:28:13 ARE BEING ASKED TO DO SO WHILE SURROUNDED BY THE VERY
02:28:16 SUBSTANCES THEY'RE TRYING TO LEAVE BEHIND.
02:28:17 >> WHEN THE CURRENT APPROACH IS NOT PRODUCING THE RESULTS WE
02:28:20 NEED, WE HAVE A RESPONSIBILITY TO TRY NEW NEW IDEAS AND I
02:28:23 DON'T REALLY CARE FOR WHICHEVER TERMINOLOGY WE USE.
02:28:27 THE BOTTOM LINE IS THAT THE CURRENT MODEL MAY NOT MAY WORK
02:28:31 FOR SOME RESIDENTS BUT SHOULD NOT BE THE ONLY OPTION.
02:28:34 THIS LEGISLATION CREATES MORE DRUG FREE SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
02:28:36 FOR PEOPLE WHO ACTIVELY WANT AN ENVIRONMENT THAT SUPPORTS
02:28:39 SOBRIETY AND RECOVERY. THIS IS NOT ABOUT PUNISHMENT
02:28:43 AND IS NOT ABOUT EXPECTING PERFECTION.
02:28:46 RELAPSE CAN BE PART OF RECOVERY AND ONE MISTAKE SHOULD NOT
02:28:48 AUTOMATICALLY COST SOMEONE THEIR HOME.
02:28:50 THE MEASURE INCLUDES PROTECTIONS AND REQUIRES THAT
02:28:52 ALTERNATIVE HOUSING BE OFFERED BEFORE AN OTHERWISE COMPLIANT
02:28:55 RESIDENT CAN BE EVICTED FOR DRUG USE.
02:28:58 COMPASSION MEANS MORE THAN MAINTAINING THE STATUS QUO.
02:29:02 IT MEANS BEING HONEST ABOUT WHAT IS NOT WORKING AND GIVING
02:29:03 PEOPLE BETTER CHOICES. WE CANNOT GUARANTEE RECOVERY
02:29:07 BUT WE CAN GIVE PEOPLE A REAL CHANCE AT IT.
02:29:12 >> NOBODY ELSE IS IN THE QUEUE .
02:29:16 >> SUPERVISOR DORSEY I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR FOR THIS IS ONE
02:29:20 OF THOSE MOMENTS WHERE I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PRESENCE ON
02:29:21 THIS BOARD. >> I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR
02:29:24 PASSION AROUND AROUND GETTING SAN FRANCISCO ON A DIFFERENT
02:29:28 PATH AND LET'S MAKE NO MISTAKE THE PATH WE'RE ON IS IS A
02:29:32 DISTRESSING AND DISTURBING ONE. THE STATUS QUO IS INSANE.
02:29:35 THE STATUS QUO IN WHICH SO MANY FOLKS LIVING IN PERMANENT PART
02:29:39 OF HOUSING DEVELOPMENTS ARE CONSIGNED TO DEAL WITH THE MOST
02:29:42 OUTRAGEOUS BEHAVIOR FROM THEIR NEIGHBORS AND THE MANAGERS OF
02:29:47 THOSE BUILDINGS ARE UNABLE TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT BECAUSE OF
02:29:50 GOVERNMENT POLICY AND THE STATUS QUO IN THOSE
02:29:51 NEIGHBORHOODS THAT ARE IMPACTED BY THE RAMPANT SALES AND USE
02:29:57 IN PUBLIC SPACE OF DRUGS IS UNACCEPTABLE AND SO SUPERVISED
02:30:01 . DORSEY YOUR MEASURE HERE THAT
02:30:02 YOU HAVE LABORED OVER FOR A YEAR MORE THAN A YEAR IS THE
02:30:06 MOST MODEST INCREMENTAL STEP IN THE DIRECTION OF SUPPORTING
02:30:10 RECOVERY IN IN THIS HOUSING. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO EXISTING
02:30:15 THE 10,000 PLUS EXISTING UNITS OF PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING
02:30:18 THAT OUR DRUG TOLERANCE. IT DOES NOT APPLY TO MOST OF
02:30:22 THE NEW PERMANENT SUPPORTIVE HOUSING THAT WILL COME ONLINE
02:30:25 AS YOU HAVE DESCRIBED IT WILL APPLY TO THE SMALL FRACTION OF
02:30:29 PCH THAT COMES ONLINE. THAT IS FUNDED BY CITY FUNDING
02:30:33 WITHOUT ANOTHER FUNDING SOURCE .
02:30:36 SO I HAVE NO ANXIETY ABOUT YOUR MEASURE.
02:30:37 I THINK IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT WE MAKE THIS
02:30:40 ENFORCEABLE BY OUR DEPARTMENTS. I'M HAPPY TO SUPPORT YOUR
02:30:44 AMENDMENT AND I WILL NOT BE SUPPORTING THE OTHER.

02:36:53 MADAM CLERK. >> COLLEAGUES TODAY I AM
02:36:56 INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION AND ALSO A BILL A REQUEST.
02:37:00 >> FIRST I'M INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION IN SUPPORT OF
02:37:05 CONTINUING THE BABY'S SHADOW. >> DISTRICT TEN RESIDENTS
02:37:09 CONTINUE TO FACE URGENT TRANSPORTATION INEQUITIES THAT
02:37:13 LIMIT ACCESS TO JOBS, HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION, GROCERY STORES
02:37:17 AND OTHER ESSENTIAL SERVICES. THIS RESOLUTION IS TO ENCOURAGE
02:37:21 CONTINUED AND SUSTAINABLE FUNDING AND LONG TERM SUPPORT
02:37:25 FOR THE BAYVIEW COMMUNITY SHUTTLE PROGRAM.
02:37:26 A CRITICAL EQUITY AND ACCESS INITIATIVE SERVING BAYVIEW
02:37:30 HUNTERS POINT. FAR TOO LONG TRANSPORTATION
02:37:33 INEQUITIES HAVE LIMITED ACCESS TO JOBS HEALTH CARE, EDUCATION
02:37:39 ,GROCERY STORES AND OTHER ESSENTIAL SERVICES.
02:37:40 FOR MANY DISTRICT TEN RESIDENTS, THE BAYVIEW
02:37:44 COMMUNITY SHUTTLE WAS CREATED TO HELP ADDRESS THOSE
02:37:47 CHALLENGES BY PROVIDING RELIABLE LOW COST
02:37:50 TRANSPORTATION THAT CONNECTS PEOPLE TO OPPORTUNITY WHILE
02:37:54 STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY CONNECTIONS.
02:37:55 SINCE LAUNCHING IN NOVEMBER 2024, THE PROGRAM HAS
02:37:58 DEMONSTRATED REMARKABLE SUCCESS.
02:38:02 RIDERSHIP CONTINUES TO GROW WITH HUNDREDS OF RIDES PROVIDED
02:38:06 EACH DAY AND CONSISTENTLY HIGH SATISFACTION FROM THE PEOPLE
02:38:10 WHO RELY ON THE SERVICE. >> MORE IMPORTANTLY, THE
02:38:14 SHUTTLE HAS BECOME A LIFELINE FOR SENIORS, YOUTH FAMILIES,
02:38:18 WORKERS AND INDIVIDUALS DISABILITIES WHO DEPEND ON
02:38:22 SAFE, ACCESSIBLE TRANSPORTATION .
02:38:25 >> THIS PROGRAM IS NOT ABOUT MORE THAN MOVING PEOPLE.
02:38:29 THIS PROGRAM IS ABOUT MORE THAN MOVING PEOPLE FROM ONE PLACE TO
02:38:31 ANOTHER. IT ALSO CREATES ECONOMIC
02:38:33 OPPORTUNITY BY CONNECTING RESIDENTS TO WORK FORCE
02:38:36 DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMS THAT PREPARE LOCAL COMMUNITY MEMBERS
02:38:40 FOR CAREERS IN THE TRANSPORTATION INDUSTRY.
02:38:41 IT IS A MODEL THAT INVESTS IN BOTH MOBILITY AND ECONOMIC
02:38:45 EMPOWERMENT. AS MANY OF YOU KNOW, DISTRICT
02:38:49 TEN WILL SOON FACE ADDITIONAL TRANSPORTATION CHALLENGES AS
02:38:52 THE LAST CREEK BRIDGE REPLACEMENT PROJECT MOVES
02:38:56 FORWARD. THAT CRITICAL INFRASTRUCTURE
02:38:57 PROJECT WILL BRING YEARS OF CONSTRUCTION RELATED IMPACTS
02:39:01 MAKING RELIABLE NEIGHBORHOOD TRANSPORTATION EVEN MORE
02:39:04 IMPORTANT FOR OUR RESIDENTS, BUSINESSES AND WORKERS.
02:39:08 THIS RESOLUTION RECOGNIZES THE TREMENDOUS PARTNERSHIPS THAT
02:39:12 HAVE MADE THE SHUTTLE SUCCESSFUL FROM S.F. MTA
02:39:15 AND COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS TO WORKFORCE
02:39:19 DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS AND NEIGHBORHOOD ADVOCATES
02:39:22 AND URGES CONTINUED INVESTMENT TO ENSURE THIS PROGRAM REMAINS
02:39:24 AVAILABLE WELL INTO THE FUTURE. >> I WANT TO THANK ALL OF THE
02:39:28 PARTNERS, ADVOCATES, DRIVERS AND RESIDENTS WHO HAVE HELPED
02:39:31 MAKE THIS PROGRAM SUCH A SUCCESS.
02:39:35 TOGETHER WE ARE DEMONSTRATING WHAT EQUITABLE TRANSPORTATION
02:39:38 CAN LOOK LIKE WHEN WE INVEST DIRECTLY IN OUR COMMUNITIES.
02:39:43 COLLEAGUES, I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR SUPPORT OF THIS
02:39:46 RESOLUTION. I ALSO WANT TO THANK MY
02:39:50 COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE SUPPORTED AND THANK SUPERVISOR CHEN AS
02:39:54 WELL AS SUPERVISOR FIELDER FOR THE EARLY CO-SPONSORSHIP.
02:39:58 >> COLLEAGUES I AM ALSO REQUESTING THE BUDGET
02:40:02 AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYSTS TO INTERPRET CLEARLY ANALYZE THE
02:40:06 ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE CHARTER REFORM MEASURES PROPOSED BY
02:40:10 MAYOR LURIE THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING THE SIGNATURE
02:40:13 VERIFICATION PROCESS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTIONS.
02:40:17 SAN FRANCISCO VOTERS ARE BEING ASKED TO DECIDE ON THREE
02:40:21 CHARTER REFORM MEASURES THIS NOVEMBER THAT WERE FUNDAMENTAL
02:40:25 RESTRUCTURE HOW THE CITY OPERATES INCLUDING A SPENDING
02:40:29 MAYORAL HIRING AND FIRING AUTHORITY AS WELL AS
02:40:33 REORGANIZATION POWER. EXTENDING THE CITY
02:40:37 ADMINISTRATOR'S TERM TO TEN YEARS WHILE GIVING THAT OFFICE
02:40:39 SO AUTHORITY OVER PROCUREMENT. AND RAISING THE SIGNATURE
02:40:44 THRESHOLD FOR CITIZEN INITIATIVES FROM 2% TO 8%.
02:40:48 >> THESE ARE NOT SMALL TECHNICAL FIXES.
02:40:51 THEY SHIFT REAL POWER AWAY FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS
02:40:52 INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONS AND FROM THE RESIDENTS OF SAN
02:40:56 FRANCISCO. THEY ALSO COME WITH REAL FISCAL
02:40:59 IMPLICATIONS THAT VOTERS DESERVE TO UNDERSTAND BEFORE
02:41:03 THEY CAST THE BALLOT AND NOT AFTER THE MEASURES OWN LANGUAGE
02:41:07 ACTUALLY MAKES THE CASE FOR SCRUTINY.
02:41:10 THE CONTRACTING MEASURE STATES OUTRIGHT THAT THE CITY SPENDS
02:41:14 OVER $5 BILLION A YEAR ON CONTRACTS THAT A SINGLE
02:41:18 PROCUREMENT CAN COST $25,000 AND TAKE UP TO A YEAR AND THAT
02:41:24 DEPARTMENTS ARE RUNNING FIVE DUPLICATE MICROSOFT CONTRACTS
02:41:27 AND 20 SEPARATE TRAINING SYSTEMS.
02:41:28 IF THOSE NUMBERS ARE TO JUSTIFY A CASE FOR CENTRALIZING POWER
02:41:31 IN THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S OFFICE WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO
02:41:35 VERIFY THEM AND SEE THE ACTUAL PROJECTED SAVINGS.
02:41:38 AT THE SAME TIME THE EXECUTIVE BRANCH MEASURE OPENS THE DOOR
02:41:43 TO NEW DEPUTY MAYOR POSITIONS WITH NO CAP ON SALARY OR
02:41:47 NUMBER. AT A MOMENT WHEN THE CITY IS
02:41:50 ALREADY CITING BUDGET CONSTRAINTS ELSEWHERE AND AS
02:41:55 WE'VE SEEN IN THE MOST RECENT BUDGET PROCESS WE SAW WHAT
02:41:58 HAPPENS WHEN COORDINATION FAILS.
02:41:59 WITHOUT THIS STRUCTURE IN PLACE THE PATROL FOR EXAMPLE, COSTS
02:42:05 US 465 UNITS OF AFFORDABLE HOUSING AND LED TO $1 BILLION
02:42:09 MUNI REBUILD INSTEAD. BUT WE HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING
02:42:13 SHOWING THIS MEASURE WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THAT OR WITH THESE
02:42:16 NEW POSITIONS WOULD ACTUALLY COST TAXPAYERS.
02:42:17 THIS IS WHY I'M REQUESTING THE BLADE COMPLETE AN INDEPENDENT
02:42:21 COST ANALYSIS BY SEPTEMBER 8TH, 2026 SAN FRANCISCO VOTERS OUR
02:42:28 CITY OFFICIALS, THE PRESS AND COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS
02:42:32 NEED THIS INFORMATION AND WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME TO ACT ON
02:42:36 IT, MY REQUEST IS TO MAKE SURE THE FISCAL CASE AND ECONOMIC
02:42:40 IMPACT FOR THESE MEASURES HOLDS UP TO THE SAME SCRUTINY THAT
02:42:44 WE'D EXPECT FOR ANY OTHER MAJOR POLICY CHANGE OF THIS SCALE.
02:42:48 THE REST I SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU.
02:42:52 SUPERVISOR WALTON. SUPERVISOR HUANG SUBMIT.
02:42:55 >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHAN.
02:42:59 >> SUBMIT. SUBMIT.
02:42:59 THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHEN THANK YOU,
02:43:00 MADAM CARTE. COLLEAGUES TODAY I'M
02:43:03 INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION URGING CONGRESS TO PASS H R 1667 TO
02:43:07 ACUPUNCTURE FOR OUR SENIORS ACT.
02:43:12 >> UNDER THE CURRENT LAW LICENSED ACUPUNCTURIST ARE
02:43:16 PROHIBITED FROM BEING MEDICARE PROVIDERS SIGNIFICANTLY
02:43:19 LIMITING ACCESS TO THIS HEALTH INTERVENTION WHICH HAS BEEN
02:43:21 USED AS TREATMENT FOR MULTIPLE HEALTH CONCERNS INCLUDING
02:43:25 CANCER, INFERTILITY, SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER AND CHRONIC PAINT.
02:43:31 >> THE EFFICACY OF ACUPUNCTURE AS A MEANINGFUL AND EFFECTIVE
02:43:35 TREATMENT OPTION FOR MANY MEDICAL CONDITIONS WAS
02:43:38 VALIDATED WHEN THE ACA HELPED TO INCREASE ACCESS BY ALLOWING
02:43:43 INDIVIDUAL STATES TO COVER ACUPUNCTURISTS IMPLANTS ON
02:43:45 STATE HEALTH EXCHANGES. >> CALIFORNIA IS ONE OF THOSE
02:43:48 EXAMPLES. THIS BILL WHICH WAS INTRODUCED
02:43:52 BY REPRESENTATIVE JUDY CHU AND BRIAN FITZPATRICK AIMS TO
02:43:56 RECOGNIZE LICENSED THAT ACUPUNCTURISTS AS MEDICARE
02:43:59 PROVIDERS AND TO EXPAND ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE ACUPUNCTURE
02:44:03 TREATMENTS FOR SENIORS NATIONWIDE.
02:44:06 AND NEXT I HAVE AN IN MEMORIAM OF COLLEAGUES I WOULD LIKE TO A
02:44:13 JOINT TODAY'S MEETING IN MEMORY OF FAY BEN LEE.
02:44:17 >> BEN WAS BORN IN 1948 IN TAIWAN, CHINA AND GREW UP
02:44:21 IN SAN FRANCISCO. >> HE PASSED AWAY PEACEFULLY AT
02:44:26 HOME LAST MONTH AT AGE OF 78. BEN WAS A STUDENT ACTIVIST AT
02:44:32 UC BERKELEY AT A TIME WHEN THE ETHNIC STUDIES DEPARTMENT WAS
02:44:36 JUST BORN OUT OF THE 1969 THERE WAS WALL LIBERATION FUNDS
02:44:40 STRUGGLING DURING THIS TIME. BEN HELPED TO DEVELOP ONE OF
02:44:44 THE FIRST ASIAN STUDIES CAMPUS COMMUNITY PROJECTS ASIAN LEGAL
02:44:48 SERVICES. >> JEFF HELP DESPOJA.
02:44:52 IT WAS A GRASSROOTS EFFORT THAT SERVE THE PEOPLE TO PROVIDE
02:44:55 LEGAL SERVICES AND PROTECT YOUNG MEN OFTEN WORKING CLASS
02:44:59 IMMIGRANTS FROM SELECTIVE SERVICE A SYSTEM AND TO ASSIST
02:45:04 VETERANS WITH CANCER INTERESTS OBJECTOR CLAIMS.
02:45:07 >> BEN ALONG WITH HIS PARTNER PAM TALLEY WERE FOUNDING
02:45:12 MEMBERS OF THE CHINESE PROGRESSIVE ASSOCIATION
02:45:15 ORGANIZING CHINESE IMMIGRANTS AND AMERICAN BORN WORKERS
02:45:20 STUDENTS, FOREIGN STUDENTS AND CHINATOWN YOUTHS.
02:45:24 >> AS A CHINATOWN WORKERS HE LED AND WON A UNIONIZATION
02:45:27 STRIKE OF CHINESE WAREHOUSE WORKERS BECOMING A PROUD MEMBER
02:45:34 OF TEAMSTERS EIGHT FIVE SIX. BEN AND HIS WIFE HAVE BEEN
02:45:38 BELOVED MENTORS TO SO MANY ASIAN AMERICAN COMMUNITY
02:45:41 ORGANIZERS AND LEADERS IN SAN FRANCISCO MYSELF INCLUDED.
02:45:48 >> HIS QUICK GREAT SENSE OF HUMOR GENUINE LOVE FOR PEOPLE
02:45:52 WOULD ALWAYS BRING WARMTH TO A SPACE.
02:45:56 >> BEN'S GENTLE NATURE AND BIG HEART WILL BE DEEPLY MISSED.
02:45:59 HIS LEGACY WILL LIVE ON IN THE IN THE ORGANIZATIONS AND PEOPLE
02:46:04 HE HELPED SHAPE. MAY HIS MEMORY BE A BLESSING
02:46:07 AND DARE I SAY SUMMIT. >> THANK YOU SUPERVISOR CHEN
02:46:11 SUPERVISOR DORSEY SUBMIT THANK YOU.
02:46:14 SUPERVISOR FIELDER. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
02:46:18 COLLEAGUES TODAY I HAVE ONE RESOLUTION AND ONE BLUE REPORT.
02:46:21 I'M INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION SUPPORTING CALIFORNIA STATE
02:46:25 ASSEMBLY BILL NUMBER 2564 AUTHORED BY ASSEMBLYMEMBER
02:46:28 CHRIS WARD AND COAUTHORED BY ASSEMBLY MEMBER ASH KALRA.
02:46:32 >> RETAILERS ARE USING PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE
02:46:35 CONSUMER DATA TO CHARGE SOME CONSUMERS DISCRIMINATORY
02:46:39 PRICES, PRICES AND WHAT IS BEING CALLED SURVEILLANCE
02:46:43 PRICING CONSUMERS CHARACTERISTICS AND BEHAVIORS
02:46:47 LIKE LOCATION DEMOGRAPHICS, BROWSING PATTERNS, MOUSE
02:46:51 MOVEMENTS ON WEB PAGES AND SHOPPING HISTORY ARE NOW
02:46:55 BEING USED AGAINST THEM TO HELP CORPORATIONS SET INDIVIDUAL
02:46:59 ISED PRICES FOR PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.
02:47:00 >> FOR EXAMPLE A FEBRUARY 2025 AS ADVOCATE INVESTIGATION FOUND
02:47:06 THAT THE MOST POPULAR HOTEL BOOKING SITES SHOW PRICES
02:47:08 SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER. IN ONE CASE $500 MORE PER NIGHT
02:47:14 FOR A MANHATTAN HOTEL TO SAN FRANCISCO INNS USING THEIR
02:47:18 ONLINE BOOKING PLATFORMS COMPARED WITH USERS BROWSING
02:47:21 FROM LESS AFFLUENT CITIES LIKE PHENIX AND KANSAS CITY.
02:47:25 NO EXISTING FEDERAL OR STATE LAW PROHIBITS COMPANIES FROM
02:47:29 USING THE DATA THEY COLLECT TO CHARGE CONSUMERS INDIVIDUALLY
02:47:33 DIFFERENT PRICES. >> THAT IS WHY I'M INTRODUCING
02:47:35 THIS RESOLUTION TO ENCOURAGE THE TIMELY ADOPTION OF AB 2564
02:47:40 TO PROTECT CONSUMERS FROM SURVEILLANCE PRICING.
02:47:43 I HOPE I CAN COUNT ON YOUR SUPPORT AS WELL.
02:47:45 >> I'M REQUESTING THE BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYST'S
02:47:48 OFFICE EVALUATE THE COSTS AND OTHER IMPACTS OF
02:47:51 ESTABLISHING A MICROENTERPRISE HOME KITCHEN OPERATIONS PROGRAM
02:47:55 IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT WOULD ALLOW SAN FRANCISCO RESIDENTS
02:47:57 TO PREPARE FOOD FOR SALE FROM THEIR PRIVATE RESIDENCES AT A
02:48:00 TIME WHEN THE CITY IS BECOMING INCREASINGLY UNAFFORDABLE.
02:48:03 IT'S IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE LOOKING FOR WAYS FOR
02:48:07 SAN FRANCISCANS, ESPECIALLY THOSE WITHOUT MUCH ACCESS TO
02:48:11 LARGE AMOUNTS OF CAPITAL AND PEOPLE WHO MIGRATE FROM
02:48:14 OTHER COUNTRIES AND ARE AFRAID OF TRAVELING TO AND FROM PLACES
02:48:16 OF WORK AMONG AN INCREASINGLY HOSTILE FEDERAL ADMINISTRATION
02:48:19 TO BE ABLE TO MAKE A LIVING IN THIS CITY IN THE MISSION WE
02:48:24 HAVE MANY LONG TIMES SMALL SCALE LATINO ENTREPRENEURS ALSO
02:48:27 KNOWN AS FOOD VENDORS WHO HAVE BEEN CAUGHT IN A COMPLICATED
02:48:31 FOOD PERMITTING SYSTEM. IT IS MIND AND THAT AMIGO
02:48:34 PROGRAM IN SAN FRANCISCO WOULD COMPLEMENT OUR COMPED PACKED
02:48:38 MOBILE FOOD ORDINANCE PASSED EARLIER THIS YEAR AND HELP FOOD
02:48:40 VENDORS USE THEIR HOMES TO SUPPORT THEIR CMF OF BUSINESSES
02:48:43 OF COURSE ABIDING BY ALL RELEVANT LOCAL PUBLIC HEALTH
02:48:47 AND PERMITTING REGULATIONS. >> COUNTIES SIMILAR IN SIZE
02:48:51 AND URBAN CHARACTER TO SAN FRANCISCO HAVE SEEN SUCCESSFUL
02:48:54 MAKE UP PROGRAMS INCLUDING ALAMEDA, SANTA CLARA, CONTRA
02:48:59 COSTA, SAN MATEO AND LOS ANGELES AND THIS BILL THEY
02:49:03 REPORT WILL LOOK WELL. WE'LL CONSTRUCT COST
02:49:06 AND OPERATIONAL PROFILES FOR EACH OF THESE COUNTIES THAT CAN
02:49:10 BE USED TO ESTIMATE THE NORMALIZED COSTS FOR A SAN
02:49:11 FRANCISCO MEGA PROGRAM. >> I'M HOPEFUL THAT THIS REPORT
02:49:14 CAN GALVANIZE US AS A CITY TO TAKE ON THIS PROGRAM AND ENSURE
02:49:18 SAN FRANCISCO REMAINS A CITY AFFORDABLE TO PEOPLE OF ALL
02:49:21 WALKS OF LIFE. >> I WANT TO THANK THE COOK
02:49:24 ALLIANCE, THE MISSION FOOD VENDORS COUNCIL AND WESTRA CASA
02:49:28 FOR PUSHING THE CITY FORWARD AND ADVISING ON THIS NEXT STEP
02:49:32 FOR AIMCO PROGRAM IN SAN FRANCISCO.
02:49:33 THE REST I SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU.
02:49:36 SUPERVISOR FIELDER SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD.
02:49:40 >> COLLEAGUES TODAY I'M INTRODUCING A MOTION TO ALLOW
02:49:41 THE BOARD TO CALL FILE NUMBER 260693 THE AFFORDABLE GROCERIES
02:49:44 ACTS VACANCY TAX. FROM THE BUDGET AND FINANCE
02:49:48 COMMITTEE TO A COMMITTEE OF THE WHOLE ON JULY 21ST.
02:49:51 THIS MEASURE NEEDS TO REACH THE FULL BOARD BY LATE JULY TO MAKE
02:49:55 THE NOVEMBER BALLOT. THIS MOTION PRESERVES THE ONLY
02:49:58 PATH LEFT FOR THIS BOARD AND THE VOTERS TO HAVE A SAY.
02:50:00 >> THIS MOTION, I'LL REMIND, IS NOT ABOUT THE MERITS OF THE TAX
02:50:04 ITSELF. IT'S ABOUT WHETHER A SAN
02:50:07 FRANCISCANS LIVING IN FOOD DESERTS GOT A PUBLIC HEARING
02:50:10 AND A DISCUSSION ON A POLICY THAT AFFECTS SO MANY OF OUR
02:50:12 NEIGHBORHOODS. I WANT TO ALSO SAY THAT I KNOW
02:50:15 THAT ALL OF US IN CITY HALL, THE MAYOR AND ALL 11 OF US ON
02:50:19 THE BOARD WE ALL AGREE THAT FOOD DESERTS ARE A PROBLEM
02:50:22 IN OUR CITY. WE ALL AGREE THAT AFFORDABILITY
02:50:26 OF FOOD IS A PROBLEM WE ALL SHOULD SOLVE.
02:50:30 I KNOW THAT ALL OF US CARE ABOUT OUR CITY.
02:50:33 >> AND EVEN IF WE OCCASIONALLY DISAGREE ON THE DIFFERENT
02:50:35 APPROACHES TO GET THERE, WE'RE ALTERNATELY TRYING TO DO THE
02:50:38 BEST WE CAN FOR THE CITY IN THE BEST WAY THAT WE KNOW HOW.
02:50:42 I WANT TO THANK THE CO-SPONSORS WHO SIGNED ON TO THIS MOTION
02:50:46 AND FOR STANDING THAT WE SHOULD HAVE THIS HEARING REGARDLESS OF
02:50:50 IF EVEN MANY OF THESE SPONSORS MAY ULTIMATELY LAND ON A
02:50:51 DIFFERENT SIDE OF THIS POLICY ITSELF.
02:50:54 >> THANK YOU AGAIN. >> SECOND COLLEAGUES, MY SECOND

02:52:13 LONGTIME COMMUNITY MEMBERS IN THE WESTERN CONDITION.
02:52:17 THIS MIGHT FEEL A BIT LIKE DEJA VU.
02:52:18 AS A MATTER OF FACT, IF YOU OPEN UP GOOGLE MAPS THE STREET
02:52:22 IN QUESTION BETWEEN POST AND GEARY JUST OUR FILLMORE IS
02:52:25 ALREADY LABELED AS BOSWELL STREET.
02:52:28 >> IN 2008 THEN DISTRICT FIVE SUPERVISOR ZA ROSS MIRKARIMI
02:52:32 INTRODUCED A RESOLUTION OF INTENTION TO RENAME THE STREET.
02:52:35 RESOLUTION OF INTENTION KICKS OFF THE STREET RENAMING PROCESS
02:52:38 AND ARE MEANT TO BE FOLLOWED BY RESOLUTIONS THAT DIRECT PUBLIC
02:52:40 WORKS TO UPDATE OFFICIAL MAPS UNLESS OF HAPPEN TO TO PUT UP
02:52:43 SIGNS WITH THE NEW NAME. HOWEVER IN A ODD SITUATION OF
02:52:46 THE TWILIGHT ZONE THE SIGNS WENT UP BEFORE THE SECOND
02:52:51 RESOLUTION CAME TO BE AND AVERY WAS SIGNED AS BOSWELL FOR OVER
02:52:54 17 YEARS UNTIL EARLIER THIS YEAR WHEN DEPARTMENT STAFF
02:52:58 NOTED THE DISCREPANCY AND QUIETLY REPLACED THE
02:52:59 BOSWELL SIGNS WITH THE AVERY SIGNS.
02:53:01 THIS WAS DIFFICULT FOR THE JONES MEMORIAL COMMUNITY WHO
02:53:05 NOT ONLY RELIED ON THE BOSWELL NAME FOR NAVIGATION TO THEIR
02:53:06 CHURCH AND ADJACENT SENIOR HOMES BUT SAW THE STREET NAME
02:53:09 AS AN INDELIBLE HONOR FOR THEIR LONGTIME LEADER WHO TOUCHED TOO
02:53:13 MANY LIVES ACROSS THE DECADES. I'M BRINGING FORTH THIS
02:53:16 RESOLUTION TO ONCE AND FOR ALL MAKE SURE THE SIGNS NEVER COME
02:53:20 DOWN AND PERMANENTLY ENSHRINE REVEREND BOSWELL'S NAME ON OUR
02:53:21 CITY MAPS AND DOCUMENTS. >> THANK YOU REVEREND SADIE
02:53:25 STONE AND THE REST OF THE JONES MEMORIAL UNITED METHODIST
02:53:29 CHURCH COMMUNITY FOR BRINGING THIS TO OUR ATTENTION.
02:53:30 THANKS AS WELL TO JOHN MAHMUD MALAMUTE FROM THE CITY

02:53:43 STORY TOGETHER. >> THE REST I SUBMIT THANK YOU.
02:53:47 >> SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD SUPERVISOR RANDLEMAN THANK YOU,
02:53:49 MADAM CLERK. COLLEAGUES TODAY I AM
02:53:52 INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE AUGUST 2ND THROUGH
02:53:55 AUGUST 8TH 2026 AS NATIONAL HEALTH CENTER WEEK IN SAN
02:53:58 FRANCISCO FORMED IN 1982, THE SAN FRANCISCO COMMUNITY
02:54:01 COMMUNITY CLINIC CONSORTIUM IS A BRILLIANT EXAMPLE OF THE
02:54:04 COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTER LEGACY BORN FROM THE CIVIL RIGHTS
02:54:06 MOVEMENT OF THE 1960S. THESE CENTERS SEEK TO SERVE THE
02:54:09 UNDERSERVED AT A COST THEY CAN AFFORD.
02:54:13 TODAY THE CLINIC CONSORTIUM IS COMPOSED OF 12 MEMBER CLINICS
02:54:16 THAT TAILOR THEIR SERVICES TO MEET THE UNIQUE NEEDS OF THE
02:54:20 COMMUNITIES IN WHICH THEY ARE LOCATED.
02:54:21 EACH IS ROOTED IN AND SHAPED BY THE COMMUNITY IT SERVES.
02:54:24 OFFERING CARE THAT REFLECTS THE LANGUAGES, CULTURES AND LIVED
02:54:27 REALITIES OF THEIR PATIENTS. SAN FRANCISCO'S COMMUNITY
02:54:31 HEALTH CENTERS HAVE DELIVERED CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE CARE
02:54:32 AND IMPROVED LINGUISTIC ACCESS TO MORE THAN 10% OF THE CITY'S
02:54:36 POPULATION. FOR THEIR PATIENTS THESE
02:54:37 CENTERS ARE OFTEN OR THE ONLY ACCESS TO PRIMARY CARE.
02:54:40 THIS RESOLUTION IS OUR ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND THANKS TO
02:54:43 SAN FRANCISCO'S COMMUNITY HEALTH CENTERS FOR THEIR WORK
02:54:45 DELIVERING INDIVIDUALIZED DIGNIFIED MEDICAL CARE TO THOSE
02:54:48 WHO WOULD OTHERWISE GO WITHOUT AND FOR IF WE'RE DOING SO EVEN
02:54:53 AS THE LANDSCAPE GROWS MORE DIFFICULT EACH YEAR.
02:54:57 I WANT TO THANK DINA ALLEN OF THE SAN FRANCISCO COMMUNITY
02:55:00 CLINIC CONSORTIUM FOR HER PARTNERSHIP IN BRINGING THIS
02:55:03 RESOLUTION FORWARD. WE'VE WORKED WITH THEM OVER THE

02:56:09 >> BUT I WOULD LIKE TO WE SEND THE BILL THERE IS A MOTION TO
02:56:13 RESCIND IS THERE A SECOND SECONDED BY FIELDER AND WE CAN
02:56:16 TAKE THAT MOTION WITHOUT OBJECTION.

02:56:34 CHEN MAKE THE MOTION TO RESCIND A VOTE AND IT WAS SECOND BY
02:56:36 SUPERVISOR FIELDER WALTON. WHY IS IT THAT WE HAVE TO
02:56:39 RESEND THE VOTE A SO FINALLY HOLD ON HOLD ON.
02:56:47 WAIT A MINUTE. I'M SUPPOSED TO RUN THIS
02:56:48 MEETING. I WILL JUST READ THE TIMES WAS
02:56:50 NOT CLEAR THROUGH THE PRESIDENT TO SUPERVISOR CHEN I COULD HAVE
02:56:54 SLOWED THINGS DOWN AND READ THIS TITLE SO THAT EVERYONE
02:56:55 KNEW WE WERE ON A NEW ITEM NUMBER ONE.
02:56:58 AND SO THIS IS AN ORDINANCE THAT AMENDS THE PLANNING
02:57:01 ADMINISTRATIVE BUILDING CODES INCLUSIONARY HOUSING PROGRAM
02:57:03 UPDATES AND REDUCTIONS AND THE DEVELOPMENT IMPACT FEE
02:57:06 REDUCTIONS. >> THANK YOU.
02:57:09 PLEASE CALL THE ROLL ON ITEM 39.
02:57:11 I GUESS THIS WOULD BE THE MOMENT FOR THE SUPERVISOR TO
02:57:14 INDICATE WHY SHE WOULD HAVE LIKED THE ITEM TO BE RESCINDED
02:57:19 IN THE FIRST PLACE. >> YES PLEASE.
02:57:22 >> IF SHE CHOOSES A SUPERVISOR CHANCE TO ANSWER.
02:57:26 >> BUT I WOULD I DON'T OF COURSE I LOVE TO ANSWER THEM.
02:57:30 I AGAIN I THINK I SAID IT I WOULD LOVE TO EVENTS BOTH ON
02:57:33 THE HOUSING TRUST FUND AND ALSO CONTINUE TO BE KEEPING OUR CITY
02:57:38 AFFORDABLE TO SUPPORT OUR INCLUSIONARY RATE.
02:57:41 SO WITH THAT I ALSO SAID PUBLICLY THAT I AM NOT
02:57:48 SUPPORTING THE LEGISLATION BECAUSE WE ARE FORCING TO
02:57:52 CHOOSE ONE OR THE OTHER BUT NOT BOTH.
02:57:53 >> BUT I DID SAY THAT I SUPPORT SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S AMENDMENT
02:58:00 SO WHAT THAT I INITIALLY I WAS CONFUSED AND SO I VOTED BUT I'M
02:58:04 VOTING IN SUPPORT OF SUPERVISOR FIELDER'S AMENDMENT BUT OVERALL
02:58:07 AS THE LEGISLATION EVEN WENT THE AMENDMENT THAT WAS ADOPTED
02:58:12 AND I'M STILL ON NOTE TO THE ENTIRE LEGISLATION BECAUSE I
02:58:15 BELIEVE THAT WE SHOULD DO BOTH TOGETHER.
02:58:19 >> THANK YOU. I JUST WOULD HAVE WISH THAT WAS

02:58:27 FASHION BUT THANK YOU I APPRECIATE COLLEAGUES ALLOWING

02:59:32 PUBLIC COMMENT IN PERSON SPEAKERS WILL BE PRIORITIZED SO
02:59:35 PLEASE LINE UP ON YOUR RIGHT HAND SIDE OF THE CHAMBER ONCE
02:59:39 THE IN-PERSON SPEAKERS LINE IS EXHAUSTED WE'LL MOVE TO THE
02:59:42 REMOTE SPEAKERS. IF YOU ANTICIPATE PROVIDING
02:59:44 REMOTE PUBLIC COMMENT, THE TELEPHONE NUMBER AND MEETING ID
02:59:47 IS PUBLISHED ON THE AGENDA AND STREAMING ON YOUR SCREEN.
02:59:51 I BELIEVE IT IS BEST TO CALL IN EARLY AS A REMINDER AS OF
02:59:55 GOTV IS NOT IN SYNC WITH THIS MEETING IT'S DELAYED BY A FEW
02:59:59 SECONDS SO PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO THE PHONE PROMPT AND TURN
03:00:02 DOWN YOUR TELEVISION GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT YOU MAY SPEAK TO
03:00:06 THE JUNE 9TH 2026 BOARD MEETING MINUTES AS PRESENTED AND THE
03:00:09 ITEMS 46 AND 47 UNDER THE ADOPTION WITHOUT COMMITTEE
03:00:13 REFERENCE CALENDAR PLEASE NOTE THAT THE BUDGET ITEMS HAVE
03:00:16 ALREADY BEEN PUBLICLY COMMENTED IN COMMITTEE AND ARE NOT
03:00:20 ELIGIBLE FOR COMMENT TODAY. OTHER GENERAL MATTERS THAT ARE
03:00:24 NOT ON TODAY'S AGENDA BUT MUST BE WITHIN THE BOARD SUBJECT
03:00:28 MATTER JURISDICTION AND TO THAT END JUST NOTE THAT
03:00:31 SELF-EXPRESSION THAT CONTAINS PERSONAL ATTACKS, HARASSMENT OR
03:00:35 DISCRIMINATORY REMARKS DIRECTED AT ANY CITY EMPLOYEE OR BOARD
03:00:39 MEMBER ARE STRICTLY OUTSIDE OF THE SCOPE AND FAILURE TO
03:00:42 REDIRECT YOUR COMMENTS WILL RESULTS IN A TRANSITION TO THE
03:00:46 NEXT SPEAKER. SO WELCOME TO OUR FIRST SPEAKER
03:00:49 WHO IS IN THE CHAMBER. WE ARE SETTING THE TIMER FOR
03:00:52 TWO MINUTES. >> WELCOME.
03:00:53 GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS. MY NAME IS AMELIA, RESIDENT OF
03:00:57 DISTRICT NINE. I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY FOR
03:01:00 THE OPPORTUNITY OF SERVING ON THE BEHAVIORAL HEALTH COUNCIL
03:01:01 BUT TO HERE TODAY I'M HERE SPEAKING ONLY AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
03:01:04 >> I'VE BEEN IMPRESSED BY THIS GREATER ADMINISTRATION'S
03:01:06 ABILITY TO CAREFULLY INTEGRATE THE CITY STREET TEAMS DESPITE
03:01:09 THE GROWING PAINS I CAN SEE THE VISION AS CAN MANY OF MY
03:01:12 COLLEAGUES AT THIS MOMENT OF OUR GROWTH IN OUR 24 HOUR
03:01:16 CRISIS CONTINUUM OF CARE. HOWEVER, IN THE NEXT FEW WEEKS
03:01:19 WE ARE FACING THE QUIET REMOVAL OF THE PEER COUNSELORS FROM THE
03:01:21 STREET CRISIS RESPONSE TEAM. THE LOSS OF THE PEER
03:01:24 COUNSELORS, INSTITUTIONAL KNOWLEDGE AND FIELD EXPERTISE
03:01:27 DURING 911 BEHAVIORAL CRISES IS AN OVERSIGHT ON OUR STREET
03:01:31 RESPONSE AND WE CANNOT AFFORD IT.
03:01:31 IN AN ANALYSIS PUBLISHED BY SAN JOSE STATE UNIVERSITY REGARDING
03:01:35 OUR STREET CRISIS TEAM RESEARCHERS IDENTIFIED A QUOTE
03:01:39 DISCONNECT BETWEEN DECISION MAKERS UNDERSTANDING OF THE
03:01:41 WORK AND TEAM MEMBERS EXPERIENCE OF THE WORK THEY
03:01:44 SHOW HOW THIS LEADS TO BURNOUT AND MORAL INJURY IN OUR FIRST
03:01:47 RESPONDERS WHICH QUOTE IMPEDES THEIR ABILITY TO SERVE CLIENTS
03:01:50 AND CAN CREATE STRUCTURAL CHANGES FROM MUNICIPALITIES.
03:01:54 IN RESPONSE TO THE NOW CONFIRMED RUMORS, I HAVE
03:01:57 ALREADY PRESENTED THE VALUE ASSESSMENTS TO BOTH THE HEALTH
03:01:59 COMMISSION AND THE FIRE COMMISSION.
03:02:01 I HAVE FULL FAITH THAT THE ACTORS IN THIS ROOM CAN REVERSE
03:02:03 THIS DECISION AS IT DIDN'T SEEM TO BE MADE ON BUDGETARY
03:02:06 CONCERNS. BUT LET'S LOOK FORWARD.
03:02:09 IF WE WANT OUR PEER COUNSELORS TO GRADUATE TO PERMANENT CIVIL
03:02:10 SERVICE POSITIONS I HAVE A LONG TERM PLAN AND I ASK FOR THE
03:02:13 BOARD'S SUPPORT WHEN IT REACHES WHEN IT REACHES YOU IN THE
03:02:17 INTERIM AS WE REPAIR THIS BLUNDER.
03:02:18 I HAVE A PLAN TO STANDARDIZE TRAINING, ACCOUNTABILITY AND I
03:02:22 HAVE A PLAN TO OPERATIONALIZE EFFICIENCY.
03:02:25 >> KEEPING PEERS IS THE RESPONSIBLE DECISION TO OUR
03:02:29 FIRST RESPONDERS AND TO OUR CITY OUR OFFICERS, PARAMEDICS,
03:02:33 EMTS, PURE COUNSELORS WOULD MUCH RATHER BE OUT THERE
03:02:34 RUNNING CALLS AND SERVING SAN FRANCISCANS THAN IN HERE
03:02:37 PROVING THEIR WORTH OR THEIR EFFICIENCY.
03:02:38 WITH WORD GETTING OUT OVER THE WEEKEND, I HAVE ALREADY GOTTEN
03:02:41 FIELD REPORTS FROM OUR POLICE OFFICERS CALLING THIS WHAT IT
03:02:44 IS A MISTAKE. TOMORROW I WILL BE WARNING THE
03:02:46 POLICE COMMISSION LET'S PLEASE REPAIR THIS NOW WHEN WE HAVE
03:02:49 THE CHANCE. THANK YOU.
03:02:53 THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME.
03:02:56 >> GOOD EVENING, PRESIDENT MANAGEMENT SUPERVISORS.
03:03:00 MY NAME IS JULIE SU AND I SPEAK TODAY ON BEHALF OF SONA SAVE
03:03:05 OUR NATIONAL ARCHIVE. I'M HERE WITH BIG SISTER JENNY
03:03:09 LU WHO WILL SPEAK AFTER ME. >> I SPEAK IN GREAT SUPPORT OF
03:03:13 SUPERVISOR CHAN'S RESOLUTION ITEM NUMBER 47 TO HALT THE
03:03:19 CLOSURE OF THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES AND RECORDS
03:03:20 ADMINISTRATION AT SAN FRANCISCO LOCATED IN SAN BRUNO.
03:03:25 20 YEARS AGO WE HAD THIS FIGHT BUT 20 YEARS AGO THERE WAS
03:03:30 PUBLIC TESTIMONY THIS ADMINISTRATION, THIS WHITE
03:03:33 HOUSE ADMINISTRATION HAS FAILED TO FOLLOW THE ADMINISTRATIVE
03:03:37 PROCEDURE ACT GIVING PUBLIC NOTICE, TAKING PUBLIC TESTIMONY
03:03:42 . THIS IS OUR COLLECTIVE HISTORY.
03:03:43 IT'S NOT ONLY OUR STATE'S HISTORY.
03:03:44 IT IS OUR NATION'S HISTORY. AND IF ANY ONE OF YOU THINK
03:03:47 THAT YOU HAVEN'T BEEN TOUCHED BY THE NATIONAL ARCHIVES, I ASK
03:03:49 YOU TO THINK AGAIN. IT CONTAINS NATIVE AMERICAN
03:03:53 ARTIFACTS AND DOCUMENTS AS WELL AS CHINESE-AMERICAN EXCLUSION
03:03:57 ACT DOCUMENTS JAPANESE-AMERICAN RELOCATION FOR THE
03:04:02 AFRICAN-AMERICAN COMMUNITY. THE PORT CHICAGO DOCUMENTS
03:04:06 JEWISH HISTORY DOCUMENTS FOR RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS WHO WENT
03:04:10 THROUGH ANGEL ISLAND. >> IT'S NOT A SURPRISE THAT
03:04:13 THERE ARE ATTEMPTS TO ERASE HISTORY.
03:04:16 I KNOW THAT THIS BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS TAKEN GREAT
03:04:18 PAINS TO RIGHT THE WRONGS OF OUR HISTORY.
03:04:21 WITHOUT THIS DOCUMENTATION WE CANNOT HAVE THIS PARTICULAR
03:04:25 ATTENTION TO RIGHTING THE WRONGS OF HISTORY.
03:04:28 AND THIS IS NOT JUST GOVERNMENTAL ACADEMIC HISTORY.
03:04:32 THIS THIS IS ALSO OUR FAMILY HISTORY AND THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE
03:04:33 HERE. IT WAS OUR ANCESTORS WHO
03:04:36 CREATED THIS HISTORY. IT IS A MEANS FOR US TO UNITE
03:04:40 FAMILIES TO HAVE SOME STRENGTH IN OUR FAMILIES KNOWING OUR
03:04:44 HISTORY. AS WE TALK ABOUT EDUCATION
03:04:47 AND MAKING SURE THAT OUR STUDENTS UNDERSTAND OUR
03:04:48 HISTORY, THIS IS AN ARCHIVE AND RECORDS HISTORY THAT IS
03:04:52 RIGHT IN OUR BACKYARD. IT IS ONE OF THE FEW NATIONAL
03:04:55 ARCHIVES THAT ALSO HAS A RESEARCH CENTER WITH VERY
03:04:58 VALUED STAFF WHO CAN LEAD PEOPLE TO DOCUMENT IT.
03:05:03 SO I URGE YOU NOT ONLY TO SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION BUT
03:05:07 ALSO TO BE CO-SPONSOR TO SEND A VERY STRONG MESSAGE THAT WE
03:05:08 WILL NOT LET OUR HISTORY BE ERASED.
03:05:11 THANK YOU. AND NOW TO BIG SISTER JENNY
03:05:14 LOU. >> THANK YOU COMMISSIONER SU
03:05:15 FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME.
03:05:18 >> SHE CALLS ME BIG SISTER BECAUSE I HAVE BEEN WORKING ON
03:05:22 THIS FOR 25 YEARS. >> THEY WERE GOING TO CLOSE ALL
03:05:26 THE REGIONAL ARCHIVES THROUGHOUT THE NATION.
03:05:30 BUT WE WORKED WITH TOM LANTOS TO STOP THAT AND THEN THEY WERE
03:05:35 GOING TO DESTROY ALIEN FILES. >> ALL THE NATIONS ALIEN PARTS
03:05:39 ARE NOT JUST ASIAN FILES. >> THOSE ARE OVER THREE
03:05:45 QUARTERS OF 1,000,000 CUBIC FEET OF FILES AND OUR PACIFIC
03:05:49 REGION THAT COVERS HAS THE LARGEST COLLECTION OF ALIEN
03:05:53 FILES FROM PORT OF HAWAII ALL THE WAY UP THE WEST COAST.
03:05:59 PEOPLE FROM ALL OVER THE WORLD COME TO LOOK AT THESE
03:06:03 IMMIGRATION FILES. AND WE WERE THE ONLY REGION
03:06:07 THAT DEMANDED THAT THEY STAY IN SAN BRUNO.
03:06:08 >> WE ARE THE ORIGIN OF THESE FILES.
03:06:12 THE PEOPLE THAT USE THEM ARE FROM OUR REGION.
03:06:15 THEY ARE OUR HISTORY. AND LIKE JULIE SAID, IT CAN BE
03:06:22 RUSSIAN JEWS, IT CAN BE EASTERN EUROPE, EUROPEAN US.
03:06:26 IT WILL BE LARGELY THE PEOPLE THAT WERE EXCLUDED FIRST FROM
03:06:30 COMING TO THIS COUNTRY. >> AND IN OUR PARTICULAR
03:06:34 CHINESE FILES WE HAVE COACHING DOCUMENTS THAT DETAILED VILLAGE
03:06:38 MAPS OF WHICH PEOPLE FROM MY GENERATION IF THEY WISH TO GO
03:06:42 BACK TO THEIR ANCESTRAL VILLAGES AND FIND THE HOME
03:06:46 WHERE THE ANCESTRAL SHRINE IS THEIR ONLY CHANCE IS MAYBE TOOK
03:06:50 A LOOK AT THESE COACHING DOCUMENTS AND THESE DETAILED
03:06:54 MAPS. >> SO PLEASE GIVE YOUR
03:06:57 STRONGEST SUPPORT. >> WE LOSE THIS.
03:06:58 THEY WILL NEVER COME BACK. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
03:07:02 WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER. >> GOOD AFTERNOON.

03:07:43 SIX, ACUPUNCTURE IS ALREADY INCLUDING IN THE MEDICARE
03:07:45 SYSTEM. AND AFTER 27 YEARS OF ADVOCACY

03:09:03 SUPPORT. >> THANK YOU SO MUCH.
03:09:04 THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER
03:09:11 . >> HI, MY NAME IS ELIZABETH
03:09:12 AARON. TODAY IS THE FIRST TIME I FELT
03:09:15 THE NEED TO ATTEND A MEETING ON THE SAN FRANCISCO CITY
03:09:18 SUPERVISORS IN PERSON LAST WEEK I WAS SHOCKED TO FIND THAT
03:09:23 FINAL APPROVAL HAD BEEN GIVEN TO A 23 FLOOR BUILDING AT THE
03:09:25 END OF MY STREET I RECEIVED NO NOTICE OF THIS PROJECT EITHER
03:09:29 AT MY HOME OR POSTED ON THE SITE WHICH I PASS ALMOST DAILY.
03:09:33 WHILE THERE ARE MANY ISSUES WITH THIS PROJECT TODAY I WOULD
03:09:37 LIKE TO HIGHLIGHT ONE ONGOING ISSUE I HAVE BEYOND THE LACK OF
03:09:38 PUBLIC NOTICE. >> MY ISSUE IS THE CONTINUED
03:09:41 PERPETUATION OF THE IDEA THAT RESIDENTS OF SAN FRANCISCO
03:09:45 ESPECIALLY THOSE WHO LIVE IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD SHOULD NOT HAVE
03:09:48 CARS. I AM AN ATTORNEY AND HAVE
03:09:49 WORKED IN LAND USE PLANNING SO I UNDERSTAND THE THEORIES UPON
03:09:53 WHICH THIS IDEA ORIGINATED. BUT I ALSO KNOW THAT IN REALITY
03:09:57 NO MATTER HOW TRANSIT FRIENDLY A NEIGHBORHOOD IS, PEOPLE WHO
03:10:00 BUY MARKET RATE HOMES WILL HAVE CARS.
03:10:04 I HAVE LIVED ON CLINTON PARK FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS WHERE I
03:10:07 HAVE HAD TO DEAL WITH EVER INCREASING PRESSURE AND STRESS
03:10:11 CAUSED BY LOSS OF PARKING DUE TO ILL CONCEIVED BIKE PATHS NEW
03:10:15 INTERSECTION RED ZONES WHICH ARE CONSTANTLY USED BY LYFT
03:10:18 DRIVERS AND PROVIDE NO SAFETY PROTECTIONS.
03:10:22 AND A COMPLETE LACK OF ENFORCEMENT OF TRAFFIC LAWS
03:10:25 ADDING A 200 PLUS UNIT BUILDING WITH ONLY 62 PARKING SPACES IS
03:10:30 DELUSIONAL AND DANGEROUS. PEOPLE ARE ALREADY CONSTANTLY
03:10:34 FRUSTRATED BY THE MAZE THAT HAS BEEN CAUSED BY THE CLOSURE OF
03:10:35 RIGHT AND LEFT TURNS AND MANY ARE JUST BREAKING THE LAW.
03:10:39 ADD TO THAT THE FACT THAT SOMETIMES IT TAKES UP TO 40
03:10:44 MINUTES TO FIND A PARKING SPACE AND YOU HAVE A DANGEROUS
03:10:46 SITUATION FOR DRIVERS, BIKERS AND PEDESTRIANS LIKE MYSELF.
03:10:49 THANK YOU FOR LISTENING TO MY COMMENTS.
03:10:52 >> PERHAPS YOU CAN GIVE THEM CONSIDERATION IN FURTHER
03:10:54 APPLICATIONS. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
03:10:57 MA'AM, WE'RE GOING TO OBTAIN YOUR ADDRESS AND WE'LL LET YOU
03:11:04 KNOW MORE INFORMATION ON THAT ADDRESS AND THAT PROJECT BEFORE
03:11:08 THE NEXT SPEAKER. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER MEMBERS
03:11:11 OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD DURING
03:11:12 GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT? OTHERWISE THIS WILL BE OUR LAST
03:11:15 IN-PERSON SPEAKER. WELCOME SIR.
03:11:18 >> BOARD OF SUPERVISOR AND MAYOR OFFERS A SENSE OF
03:11:24 SCOPE. >> THE TITLE OF THIS SPEECH IS
03:11:25 AGENT OF CHANGE IN A YEAR 1999. I HOOKED UP A FRIEND DAVID TAM
03:11:30 FROM FRANCISCO AND NANCY FROM LOS ANGELES FOR RELATIONSHIP
