00:21:42 RETAIL THEFT. A 2023 ANALYSIS OF NEARLY 5000
00:21:46 TRANSACTIONS BY THE CHECKOUT TECHNOLOGY COMPANY GRAB AND GO
00:21:49 ESTIMATED SHRINKAGE AT SELF-CHECKOUT AT 3.5% OF SALES
00:21:55 COMPARED WITH 0.21% AT STAFFED LANES AT 2026 STUDY OF 39
00:21:59 RETAILERS BY ACR RETAIL LOSS AND THE UNIVERSITY OF LICE
00:22:04 LISTER FOUND THAT TOTAL STORE LOSSES ROSE AN AVERAGE OF 22%
00:22:08 IN THE FIRST YEAR AFTER SELF-CHECKOUT WAS INTRODUCED.
00:22:11 >> THE COSTS OF RETAIL THEFT ARE NOT SOLELY BORNE BY THE
00:22:15 OPERATORS OF THESE STORES AND DO NOT FULLY SHOW UP
00:22:18 IN CORPORATE BALANCE SHEETS. THOSE COSTS ALSO INCLUDE THE
00:22:20 PHYSICAL RISKS TO AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA
00:22:23 EXPERIENCED BY EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS IN THOSE STORES
00:22:26 AND THE IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD
00:22:27 AND BUSINESSES. WHEN THE LOCAL GROCERY OR
00:22:30 DRUGSTORE IS REGULARLY GETTING RIPPED OFF, THE LEGISLATION
00:22:31 DOES NOT BAN SELF-CHECKOUT AND IT ONLY APPLIES TO GROCERY
00:22:37 STORES OVER 10,000FT2 AND DRUGSTORES.
00:22:38 I WANT TO THANK JIM RB FROM U OF CW LOCAL FIVE FOR WORKING
00:22:42 WITH US ON THIS LEGISLATION. HUGO CABRERA FROM THE CITY
00:22:46 ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. PAT MULLIGAN FROM THE OFFICE OF
00:22:47 LABOR STANDARDS AND SOPHIE MARIE IN MY OFFICE FOR HER
00:22:49 WORK. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR
00:22:53 EARLY CO SPONSORS SUPERVISOR CHERYL CHEN WALTON AND FIELDER
00:22:57 AND THE REST I SUBMIT. THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT.
00:23:01 SUPERVISOR MELGAR SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU.
00:23:05 SUPERVISOR SAUDER THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
00:23:08 COLLEAGUES, AS SOME OF YOU MAY RECALL, THIS BODY CREATED A
00:23:13 PROGRAM CALLED EXPANDED COMPLIANCE CONTROL IN 2021.
00:23:15 THIS WAS DONE IN THE WAKE OF RODRIGO SANTOS SCANDAL WHICH
00:23:20 SEVERELY UNDERMINED THE PUBLIC'S TRUST IN DEPARTMENTS
00:23:23 AND CODES MEANT TO KEEP US SAFE AND KEEP THE RULES FAIR FOR
00:23:27 ANYONE INVOLVED IN THE BUILDING DESIGNING AND PERMITTING OF OUR
00:23:31 CITY STRUCTURES. >> THIS PROGRAM HAS HAD SOME
00:23:32 IMPACT. SEVEN INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN
00:23:36 NAMED TO THE LIST OVER TIME AND BEING ON THE LIST TRIGGERS
00:23:39 AN IMPORTANT ADDITIONAL LAYER OF OVERSIGHT AND SERVES AS A
00:23:43 CONSUMER PROTECTION SAFEGUARD. BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN GO
00:23:44 FURTHER. WE'VE RECENTLY HAD TWO EXAMPLES
00:23:47 IN MY DISTRICT OF WHERE WE NEEDED TO ADD ADDITIONAL
00:23:50 PROTECTIONS AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE IT
00:23:51 TRULY REACH ITS GOAL. EARLIER THIS YEAR THIS BOARD
00:23:57 HEARD THE APPEAL OF THE FAMILY OF A FAMILY LIVING AT 5 TO 4
00:24:01 VALLEJO STREET IN MY DISTRICT. IT WAS CLEAR THAT ALONG THE WAY
00:24:05 A COUPLE OWNERS AGO SOME BAD ACTORS ILLEGALLY CONVERTED A
00:24:09 FOUR UNIT BUILDING INTO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME.
00:24:10 OUR EXISTING METHODS OF CATCHING BAD ACTORS AND HOLDING
00:24:13 THEM ACCOUNTABLE FAILED THAT FAMILY.
00:24:16 >> IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE HEARD A FRUSTRATING STORY OF
00:24:20 A NEW BUTTER AND CRUMBLE CAKE'S LOCATION TENS OF THOUSANDS OF
00:24:24 DOLLARS WERE SPENT AND MONTHS OF WORK DONE BY THE CITY
00:24:26 AND THE BUSINESS OWNER WASTED BECAUSE SOMEONE A FEW YEARS AGO
00:24:29 ILLEGALLY REMOVED A WALL TO TRICK THE CITY.
00:24:33 >> THE PREVIOUS TENANT WON ON THE RECORD IN THE PRESS SAYING
00:24:36 THAT MUCH WHEN WE HAVE SOMEONE ON THE RECORD SAYING THAT A
00:24:40 WALL WAS ILLEGALLY ILLEGALLY REMOVED TO EVADE A CITY
00:24:41 INSPECTION WE HAVE VERY LIMITED OPTIONS TO HOLD THE RESPONSIBLE
00:24:45 PARTIES ACCOUNTABLE. AND THIS OF COURSE CAUSES REAL
00:24:49 HARM TO THE OWNERS, TO THE TENANTS DECADES LATER WHO WILL
00:24:53 HAVE TO BEAR THE COST CAUSED BY ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION.
00:24:56 >> SO THAT'S WHY TODAY I AM INTRODUCING LEGISLATION TO
00:24:59 STRENGTHEN AND RENAME THE EXPANDED COMPLIANCE CONTROL
00:25:03 PROGRAM. FIRST WE'RE CHANGING THE NAME
00:25:04 OF THIS PROGRAM TO THE COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT PROGRAM SO
00:25:07 THE PUBLIC CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS LIST IS
00:25:11 ACTUALLY INTENDED TO DO. >> CURRENTLY THE PROGRAM IS
00:25:15 FOCUSED ON BUILDING CODE VIOLATIONS WITH VERY LIMITED
00:25:18 TYPES OF PLANNING CODE VIOLATIONS THAT CAN BE COUNTED
00:25:20 TOWARDS IT. SO OUR LEGISLATION WILL NOW
00:25:23 GIVE THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT MORE DISCRETION TO ALLOW THOSE
00:25:26 WHO VIOLATE THE PLANNING CODE TO ALSO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE.
00:25:30 OUR LEGISLATION WILL ALSO SPELL OUT THAT THE PLANNING
00:25:31 DEPARTMENT IS INVOLVED INVOLVEMENT IN THE PROCESS
00:25:34 INCLUDING PLANNING STAFF'S PRESENCE AT RELEVANT FINAL
00:25:38 INSPECTIONS AND THE PLANNING DIRECTOR'S CONSULTATION FOR
00:25:39 FINAL DETERMINATION IN CASES THAT INVOLVE BOTH CODES.
00:25:43 WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING MORE DISCRETION FOR THE DEPARTMENT
00:25:46 TO DETERMINE A VIOLATION TO BE EGREGIOUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT
00:25:50 LISTING. NEXT WE WILL EXTEND THE
00:25:53 TIMELINE FOR VIOLATIONS THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR LISTING
00:25:57 UP TO 48 MONTHS INSTEAD OF 18 MONTHS.
00:25:59 THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CATCH PEOPLE WHO DO REPEATED
00:26:02 VIOLATIONS OVER MULTIPLE YEARS EVEN IF THEY AREN'T IN QUICK
00:26:07 SUCCESSION OF ONE ANOTHER. >> THESE CHANGES WILL
00:26:09 FUNCTIONALLY WORK WITHIN THE EXISTING FRAMEWORK THAT TBI
00:26:13 AND PLANNING ALREADY HAVE FOR THE PROGRAM MONTHLY REVIEWS
00:26:17 WILL TRACK FILES CONTINUE TO BE DONE WITH STAFF FOR BOTH
00:26:20 DEPARTMENTS AND THE BUILDING INSPECTION COMMISSION WILL
00:26:22 CONTINUE TO BE THE BODY THAT HEARS THESE CASES AND MAKES
00:26:25 RECOMMENDATION TO THE GBI DIRECTOR WHO WILL MAKE THE
00:26:28 FINAL DETERMINATION. I WANT TO THANK MICHELLE
00:26:29 ANDREWS IN MY OFFICE FOR HER WORK IN CRAFTING THIS
00:26:32 LEGISLATION WITH PARTNERSHIP FROM PLANNING AND DEPARTMENT OF
00:26:36 BUILDING INSPECTION. PARTICULARLY TO HANNAH KELLY
00:26:39 WONG AND MATT GREENE. THANKS AS WELL TO ROB COPPOLA
00:26:41 AND THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. I LOOK FORWARD TO ADVANCING
00:26:44 THIS LEGISLATION IN APPRECIATE SUPERVISORS MELGAR AND CHERYL
00:26:49 FOR THEIR EARLY CO-SPONSORSHIP AND THE REST I SUBMIT.
00:26:56 THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR SAUDER LET'S DO ONE
00:26:57 MORE ABOUT THEM. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT.
00:26:59 >> SUPERVISOR CHERYL. THANK YOU.

00:27:31 PEOPLE. HER PASSING LEAVES A VOID
00:27:34 ACROSS THE CIVIC, FINANCIAL AND CHARITABLE LANDSCAPES OF

00:27:41 POWERHOUSE EXECUTIVE AS A MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR BARCLAYS
00:27:45 GLOBAL INVESTORS. SHE MASTERED ASSET MANAGEMENT,
00:27:49 GLOBAL SECURITIES LENDING AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT.
00:27:51 HER PROFESSIONAL BRILLIANCE EARNED HER DEEP RESPECT ACROSS
00:27:55 THE INDUSTRY, RESULTING IN PRESTIGIOUS HONORS SUCH AS
00:27:57 THE SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS TIMES MOST INFLUENTIAL WOMEN
00:28:00 IN THE BAY AREA BUSINESS AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF
00:28:03 SECURITIES PROFESSIONALS EAGLE AWARD IN 2024.
00:28:07 BUT HER TRUE PASSION LAY IN USING HER KNOWLEDGE TO
00:28:11 PROTECT AND EMPOWER OTHERS. >> SHE DEDICATED YEARS OF
00:28:15 SERVICE TO THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO SERVING AS A
00:28:17 VOICE FOR THE MUNICIPAL WORKFORCE.
00:28:19 SHE SERVED AS A DIRECTOR OF THE FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL
00:28:23 TRANSPORTATION AGENCY, THE SAN FRANCISCO PARKING AUTHORITY
00:28:26 COMMISSIONER AND MOST RECENTLY AS THE INTERIM BOARD PRESIDENT

00:28:33 BUT HER IMPACT REACHED FAR BEYOND CITY LIMITS.
00:28:37 SHE LENT HER EXPERTISE TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY
00:28:38 SYSTEM'S INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND WAS RECOMMENDED
00:28:42 BY SPEAKER EMERITA NANCY PELOSI TO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO SERVE
00:28:45 ON THE FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT INVESTMENT BOARD.
00:28:49 AN ALUMNA OF SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY, SHE
00:28:53 ESTABLISHED A PERMANENT ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP TO BREAK DOWN
00:28:55 EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS FOR STUDENTS IN NEED
00:28:57 EARNING HER A PLACE IN THE UNIVERSITY'S ALUMNI HALL OF
00:29:01 FAME. AND HER FIERCE ADVOCACY FOR
00:29:05 SOCIAL JUSTICE IS SEEN THROUGH HER DECADES OF WORK WITH THE
00:29:09 DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY SERVING ON THE CITY'S NATIONAL
00:29:13 SOCIAL ACTION COMMISSION AND THE BOARD OF THE DELTA
00:29:14 RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION.
00:29:17 LEONA ANCHORED GENERATIONS OF YOUNG WOMEN.
00:29:20 SHE BROUGHT HER FORMIDABLE FINANCIAL ACUMEN STRAIGHT TO
00:29:24 THE COMMUNITY UPLIFTING FAMILIES IMPACTED BY GUN
00:29:25 VIOLENCE, ORGANIZING COMMUNITY INITIATIVES AND ENSURING THAT
00:29:28 MARGINALIZED VOICES ALWAYS HAD A SEAT AT THE TABLE.
00:29:34 BUT THOSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO EVERYTHING
00:29:36 THAT LEONA WAS. SHE WAS KIND.
00:29:39 SHE WAS INTERESTED IN YOU. SHE MADE YOU FEEL SEEN.
00:29:43 SHE WAS A PATIENT MENTOR THAT EVERYONE WISHES THEY COULD HAVE
00:29:47 AND I DID. I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR HER
00:29:50 FRIENDSHIP FOR RECOGNIZING THAT I NEEDED GUIDANCE AND GIVING IT
00:29:54 WITHOUT EVER MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I OWED HER ANYTHING.
00:29:58 YET I LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, OWED HER QUITE A BIT AS HER SPIRIT,
00:30:05 DELTA SAID OF SIGMA. EVANS SAID.
00:30:09 LEONA BELIEVED THAT BEING BLESSED MEANT HAVING A
00:30:12 RESPONSIBILITY TO BECOME A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE.
00:30:15 I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE NOT IN SAN FRANCISCO AND NOT IN THIS
00:30:19 CHAMBER AND LEONA BEING THAT BLESSING TO ME AND HENCE THE
00:30:23 MANTLE PASSES TO US TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS.
00:30:26 WE EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY, HER

00:32:30 COMMUNITIES IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND THIS LEADERSHIP ROLE MARKS

00:32:55 GROWING UP IN AN AREA FACING DEEP SYSTEMIC BARRIERS, DIANA
00:32:58 SAW FIRSTHAND HOW THE PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC REALITIES OF A
00:33:02 NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTLY SHAPED THE LIFE OF LIVES OF ITS

00:40:46 DO. >> AS A MATTER OF FACT, JUST A
00:40:47 FEW MONTHS AGO MY SISTER VISITED ME AND AS WE FLIPPED
00:40:51 THROUGH OLD TEEN MAGAZINE THAT I HAD SECRETLY KEPT SHE ASKED
00:40:54 ME ONCE AGAIN LIANA I HAVE A QUESTION.
00:40:58 >> WHAT EXACTLY DO YOU DO? >> AS I THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT TO
00:41:02 SAY TODAY I WANTED TO ANSWER HER QUESTION BY LINKING TO SOME
00:41:05 MOMENTS THAT SHAPED MY LIFE. >> SO SISTER.
00:41:09 REMEMBER THE NEIGHBORHOOD WE GREW UP IN?
00:41:10 WHEN GANG VIOLENCE WAS JUST A REALITY OF DAILY LIFE REMEMBER
00:41:13 OUR FRIENDS WOULD GET LOST IN THE STREETS SIMPLY BECAUSE
00:41:17 THEY HAD NO OTHER OPTIONS. I WOULD DO ANYTHING TO TRY TO
00:41:20 CHANGE THEIR PATH. TODAY I AM PROUD TO SAY THAT I
00:41:25 LEAD A TEAM OF STAFF LIKE RAFA AND OTHERS AND WORK WITH
00:41:28 DEDICATED COMMUNITY PARTNERS TO IMPLEMENT PROGRAMS THAT CHANGE
00:41:32 THE COURSE OF PEOPLE'S LIVES. TRAINING THEM TO GET GOOD
00:41:34 PAYING JOBS AND OPEN THEIR BUSINESSES.
00:41:36 AND I'M LIKE WHAT? THAT'S THE NEWS ABOUT US.
00:41:41 I MEAN I MET A MAN ONCE THROUGH THE LOS ANGELES PARATROOPER WHO
00:41:43 GETS HE LOST CAUSE HE TOOK A STAR ON THE MOTHER.
00:41:45 BUT A COMMUNITY AND MY FAMILY
00:42:15 PROVIDED THE FOUNDATION TO MY WORK ENSURING THAT PEOPLE SEE
00:42:19 THEMSELVES IN AN ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY CAN THRIVE
00:42:23 AND SUPPORT THEIR FAMILIES IS A KEY COMPONENT OF BUILDING A
00:42:25 RESILIENT CITY. >> MY PRIORITY IS TO ENSURE
00:42:27 THAT THE VERY PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE HARDEST TIME ACCESSING
00:42:31 THESE RESOURCES BECOME OUR BLUEPRINT NOT AN AFTERTHOUGHT.
00:42:34 >> THEY ARE UNTAPPED POTENTIAL. NOT A CHARITY CASE.
00:42:41 WE WILL WE WILL LOSE OUT IF WE CAN'T UNLOCK WHAT INDIVIDUALS
00:42:43 CAN CONTRIBUTE. >> AND TODAY I'M PROUD TO BE
00:42:46 DOING THIS IN SERVICE OF SAN FRANCISCO SO THAT OUR
00:42:50 COMMUNITIES SEE THEMSELVES REFLECTED IN THE JOBS THAT
00:42:51 BUILD THE CITY AND THE SMALL BUSINESSES THAT OPEN THEIR
00:42:54 DOORS AND IN THE CULTURAL CELEBRATIONS THAT BRING LIFE TO
00:42:58 OUR STREETS. NONE OF THIS WOULD BE POSSIBLE
00:42:59 WITHOUT THE LEADERSHIP OF OUR COMMUNITIES.
00:43:02 SO THANK YOU FOR ALL THAT ARE HERE TODAY TO CELEBRATE.
00:43:05 >> AND TO THOSE THAT ARE BEING RECOGNIZED FOR YOUR
00:43:07 CONTRIBUTIONS THEN I THINK THAT'S THE SAME THING WITH MY

00:49:24 THE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATION.
00:49:31 IN 2025, JOSE CO-FOUNDED SAN FRANCISCO LATINA SOCIAL CLUB.
00:49:37 >> THE GOAL AND THE MISSION OF THE CLUB IS TO GATHER LATINA
00:49:42 IN FRIENDSHIP AND JOY WHILE SUPPORTING LOCAL LATINA OWNED
00:49:45 BUSINESSES IN THE CITY. JOSE IS A NATURAL ORGANIZER
00:49:50 AND TRULY EMBODIES THE BELIEF THAT WE ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS
00:49:54 THE TIES WE HAVE WITH EACH OTHER.
00:49:55 SHE IS A MENTOR TO OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE AND KEEPS AN EYE OUT FOR
00:49:59 THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD.
00:50:02 WHEN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DID NOT STEP IN TO ASSURE THE
00:50:06 SAFETY OF CHILDREN GETTING HARASSED ON THE STREETS, SHE
00:50:09 STEPPED IN TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE HOW TO STAY SAFE WHILE
00:50:13 WAITING FOR USING PUBLIC TRANSIT.
00:50:14 I AM SO PROUD OF JAZZ'S LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL
00:50:18 AND CLIMATE ISSUES TRANSIT AND PEDESTRIAN ACCESS
00:50:22 AND SAFETY AND EMPOWERING OTHER LATINO WOMEN.
00:50:26 I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOUR FUTURE HOLDS.
00:50:30 JOSE AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR

00:50:42 MAHMUD. >> SUPERVISOR I AM VERY JEALOUS
00:50:47 THAT YOU TOOK MY CONSTITUENT THAT SHE HAD TO MOVE OUT OF MY
00:50:51 DISTRICT BUT I'LL SHARE A FEW WORDS ABOUT JOSE.
00:50:55 JOSE AND I USED TO BE NEIGHBORS IN THE SAME BUILDING AND THE
00:50:58 TILE AND THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT I MISS AND THERE'S MANY
00:51:02 THINGS THAT I DON'T BECAUSE SHE STILL FEELS LIKE A RESIDENT OF
00:51:06 THE TILE. SO MANY DAYS OF THE WEEK I WILL
00:51:09 MISS NOT HEARING ABOUT EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN MY
00:51:13 BUILDING. I WOULD WALK IN IN THE MORNING
00:51:16 OR THE EVENING AND BE LIKE AND SHE WOULD TELL ME ALL THE
00:51:18 THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE BUILDING AND I HAD NO IDEA.
00:51:20 I WILL MISS TALKING ABOUT COMIC BOOKS WITH RON HER HUSBAND.
00:51:28 HE HAS THE MUCH LARGER SUPPLY THAN I DO ON A BOOKCASE.
00:51:32 >> BUT I THINK WHAT WHAT I DON'T MISS IS HER COMMITMENT TO
00:51:36 THE TENDERLOIN NEIGHBORHOOD AND TO THE FAMILIES BECAUSE SHE
00:51:39 IS STILL DOING THAT WORK EVERY DAY.
00:51:40 I REMEMBER ONE OF THE FIRST FIRST TIMES I MET HER WAS
00:51:44 ACTUALLY AT A STREET FAIR WHERE I ENDED UP SITTING ON A BICYCLE
00:51:47 THE BIKE BLENDER AND JOSE WAS WAS MANNING THE MACHINE.
00:51:54 >> SO IT'S ONE THING TO MEET SOMEONE WHILE YOU'RE BLENDING A
00:51:56 SMOOTHIE ON TOP OF A BICYCLE BUT IT VERY SYMBOLICALLY
00:51:59 REPRESENTS WHAT JOSE DOES WHICH IS BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER
00:52:03 THROUGH FUN, THROUGH BICYCLES AND THROUGH COMMUNITY.
00:52:06 >> AND THEN SHE'S REGULARLY ACTIVE AS PROBABLY ONE OF THE
00:52:11 FIERCEST ADVOCATES FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN THAT ARE REGULARLY
00:52:14 VOLUNTEERS AND WORKS AT THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DIFFERENT
00:52:15 STREET FAIRS. >> AND IT REALLY THAT
00:52:18 NEIGHBORHOOD REALLY NEEDS SOMEONE WHO CAN ADVOCATE FOR
00:52:22 THOSE FAMILIES AND THEIR CHILDREN ON PUBLIC SAFETY ON
00:52:25 STREET HOMELESSNESS, ON EDUCATION.
00:52:26 AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY STRONGER CHAMPION WHO SHOWS UP IN EVERY
00:52:30 SPACE THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A VOICE.
00:52:32 AND SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MELGAR FOR HONORING AND THANK
00:52:34 YOU JOSE FOR ALL YOU DO. YOU THANK YOU.

00:53:39 THEY TAUGHT ME WITH THEIR WISDOM HOW TO PROTECT OUR
00:53:43 PLANET AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT HOW SOCIALIZING IS PART OF
00:53:47 WELLNESS AND BELONGING. >> I WANT TO THANK ALONDRA, MY
00:53:51 CO-FOUNDER OF THE SAFE LATINA SOCIAL CLUB.
00:53:58 SHE IS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY AS WELL.

00:54:03 ELSE TO DO THE WORK. >> WE'RE WITH OUR CLUB.

00:54:14 >> THERE ARE LATINA OWNED BUSINESSES ON THE MAP IN EVERY
00:54:18 SINGLE DISTRICT. PLEASE SUPPORT THEM.
00:54:19 PLEASE GO AND LEAVE REVIEWS BECAUSE THOSE REVIEWS ARE
00:54:22 POSITIVE THINGS THAT HELP TO GET THE WORD OUT AND HAVE
00:54:26 OTHERS COME TO VISIT THEM AS WELL.
00:54:29 >> AND THIS MAP IS ALSO SO POWERFUL BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT
00:54:34 PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD COME TO SAN FRANCISCO AND THEY COME
00:54:37 HERE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT OUR LATINA CULTURE HAS TO OFFER.
00:54:41 SO BY SUPPORTING THESE BUSINESSES WE HAVE SO MUCH JOY
00:54:45 WITH OUR FRIENDS AND HELPING THEM TO CREATE A LEGACY HERE
00:54:49 IN SAN FRANCISCO AS WELL. >> THE WORK THAT WE DO WITH OUR
00:54:54 BUSINESSES IS ALSO VERY MEANINGFUL FOR ME BECAUSE MY
00:54:57 MOM WAS AN ENTREPRENEUR SO EVERY TIME I MEET A LATINA
00:55:00 OWNED BUSINESS OWNER IT REMINDS ME HOW I CAN PAY IT FORWARD TO
00:55:04 MY MOM WHO'S PASSED AWAY. >> THE MESSAGE THAT I HAVE FOR
00:55:11 ALL LATINAS IN SAN FRANCISCO IS THAT OUR JOY IS POWERFUL.
00:55:17 OUR JOY IS OUR RESILIENCE AND OUR JOY.
00:55:21 AND OUR VOTES MATTER. >> IF YOU KNOW ME THEN YOU KNOW

01:31:40 ABOUT THE NEWS COVERAGE THAT THE CITY GETS EVEN WHEN IT'S A
01:31:45 PR HEADACHE OR A BLACK EYE YOU KNOW, WITH AT THE END OF THE
01:31:48 DAY WE'RE A BETTER CITY FOR IT. AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE
01:31:52 THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND I WOULD I THINK IT BEARS
01:31:53 MENTIONING AS MY COLLEAGUE SUPERVISOR CHERYL SAID THAT ABC
01:31:56 SEVEN DOES IN COMMITTING TO BUILD A BETTER BAY AREA.
01:32:00 THE WORK OF THIS NEWS ORGANIZATION I THINK IS JUST
01:32:03 EXTRAORDINARY AND IT'S VERY MUCH APPRECIATE IT.
01:32:04 >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU, LIANE.
01:32:07 IT IS AN HONOR TO BE YOUR SUPERVISOR THERE AND TO
01:32:12 REPRESENT YOU ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
01:32:13 AND IT'S GOOD TO SEE YOU GETTING THIS RECOGNITION,
01:32:15 RECOGNITION AND OTHER RECOGNITIONS THAT YOU HAVE
01:32:17 RECEIVED FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK OVER THE YEARS.
01:32:20 >> I DO THINK YOU YOU KNOW, YOU SPEAK FOR SAN FRANCISCANS
01:32:23 AND YOU COVER STORIES THAT AVERAGE FOLKS ARE GOING TO BE
01:32:27 INTERESTED IN AND FRUSTRATION THAT THEY SEE AND EXPERIENCE.
01:32:31 AND I REALLY I VALUE THAT SO IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO REPRESENT
01:32:36 YOU. >> THANK YOU.
01:32:41 >> THANK YOU. I'LL BE BRIEF BECAUSE I'M
01:32:42 USUALLY NOT USED TO BEING ON THIS SIDE OF THE MICROPHONE.
01:32:46 BUT THANK YOU NONETHELESS. SUPERVISOR CHERYL AND BOARD
01:32:50 PRESIDENT MATT DAMON AND ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS HERE.
01:32:53 AN INTERESTING THING WAS THAT LOOKING AT ALL THE PEOPLE THE
01:32:58 RECIPIENTS I THINK I'VE INTERVIEWED ALL OF THEM AT ONE
01:33:01 POINT IN MY CAREER I'VE BEEN HERE 32 YEARS AND IT'S AN HONOR
01:33:08 REALLY TO BE WITH THEM. AND IT'S AN HONOR TO REPRESENT
01:33:15 JOURNALISTS AND I VOTED YOU AGAIN.
01:33:16 ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING ME AT THIS MOMENT
01:33:23 IN TIME WHEN JOURNALISTS ARE UNDER FIRE AND MANY OF YOU
01:33:27 DON'T KNOW THAT BEHIND THIS ROW OF SUPERVISORS ARE JOURNALISTS
01:33:34 AND WE SHOULD ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY DO
01:33:39 AND THANK YOU TO YOU. >> SO I WAS RAISED IN NEW YORK
01:33:46 CITY AT A TIME WHEN ASSIMILATION WAS A WAY TO
01:33:50 CONFORM TO MAINSTREAM AMERICA. >> IT WASN'T ONLY PUERTO RICANS
01:33:57 WHO CONFORMED. ITALIANS DID IT, GERMANS DID
01:34:01 IT. MANY LOST THEIR LANGUAGE.
01:34:05 >> WE NEVER DID. ONE THING I REMEMBER AS A CHILD
01:34:09 IS THAT REPRESENTATION IN MATTERS.
01:34:12 >> AND GROWING UP IN NEW YORK CITY, THE ONLY HISPANICS FAMOUS
01:34:16 HISPANICS I KNEW WERE RITA MORENO WHICH BY THE WAY WAS
01:34:24 FORCED TO USE DARK MAKEUP TO MAKE HER LOOK MORE AUTHENTIC.
01:34:29 >> AND A MAN NAMED BILL MELENDEZ MAYBE YOU HAVE HEARD
01:34:33 OF HIM. HE DIRECTED MOST OF THE PEANUTS
01:34:37 ANIMATIONS SPECIALS. >> I WAS SO PROUD WHEN I WOULD
01:34:41 SEE HIS NAME POSTED. BILL MELENDEZ AND NO I AM NOT
01:34:48 AFFILIATED OR RELATED TO BILL MELENDEZ.
01:34:52 >> WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD MY PARENTS MOVED BACK TO PUERTO
01:34:55 RICO. AND MY HUSBAND LIKES TO JOKE
01:34:59 AND SAY YOU GUYS DID THE REVERSE COMMUTE.
01:35:02 >> FOR ME IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT A VERY FORMATIVE TO MOVE BACK
01:35:07 TO PUERTO RICO. >> I LIKE TO THINK THAT I TRULY
01:35:14 BECAME PUERTO RICAN WHEN I MOVED BACK TO THE ISLAND.
01:35:17 >> BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOUR TEACHERS ALL YOUR TEACHERS
01:35:22 ARE PUERTO RICAN. >> WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOUR
01:35:25 DOCTOR, YOUR DENTIST OR THE JUDGES THERE ARE PUERTO RICAN.
01:35:30 WHEN YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS A PUERTO RICAN ATTORNEY, WHEN
01:35:36 YOUR BEST FRIEND'S FATHER IS A PUERTO RICAN CEO OF A MAJOR
01:35:41 COMPANY, IT MATTERS. REPRESENTATION MATTERS.
01:35:48 >> WHEN YOU SEE THAT PEOPLE WHO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE YOU THEN
01:35:55 THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL THEN YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT NO
01:35:59 ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR. >> NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL
01:36:05 ISOLATED. >> IT'S THEN THAT YOU REALIZE
01:36:09 THAT YOU OWE IT NOT ONLY TO THEM BUT TO YOURSELF.
01:36:14 TO SUCCEED. AGAIN, REPRESENTATION MATTERS.
01:36:18 ACKNOWLEDGING MY WORK TODAY AND I THANK YOU AGAIN IS
01:36:22 SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF LATINOS HISPANICS
01:36:29 TO SUCCEED. AND IT CAN ONLY MAKE US ALL
01:36:32 STRONGER. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
01:37:08 DISTRICT FOUR SUPERVISOR WONG. CAN I GET VIRGINIA TO COME UP
01:37:16 WITH THE FAMILY CARE COLLEAGUES?
01:37:20 >> TODAY I HAVE THE PLEASURE OF HONORING SOMEONE WHO HAS
01:37:24 BROUGHT BEAUTY AND JOY TO GENERATIONS OF SUNSET FAMILIES.
01:37:28 VIRGINIA FOUNDER AND OWNER OF SMB COLLECTIONS.
01:37:32 >> AS WE CELEBRATE NATIONAL WOMEN OWNED BUSINESS MONTH, I
01:37:36 AM PROUD TO RECOGNIZE VIRGINIA FROM MORE THAN THREE DECADES OF
01:37:40 HARD WORK, CREATIVITY AND CARE FOR OUR NEIGHBORHOOD.
01:37:43 >> VIRGINIA OPEN SMB COLLECTIONS.
01:37:47 >> ON IRVING STREET IN OCTOBER 1992 BUILDING A BUSINESS TAKES
01:37:51 COURAGE KEEPING IT GOING YEAR AFTER YEAR TAKES DEDICATION
01:37:55 AND EARNING THE TRUST OF FAMILIES ACROSS GENERATIONS
01:37:59 TAKES SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL. VIRGINIA HAS DONE ALL THREE.
01:38:03 SOME OF HER CUSTOMERS FIRST WALKED THROUGH HER DOORS
01:38:06 LOOKING FOR PROM FLOWERS. YEARS LATER THEY RETURNED FOR
01:38:08 GRADUATION ARRANGEMENTS THEN WEDDING FLOWERS, THEN GIFTS
01:38:11 AND FLOWERS TO WELCOME A NEW BABY.
01:38:15 AND WHEN FAMILIES LOST SOMEONE THEY LOVED VIRGINIA WAS THERE
01:38:18 TO HELP THEM SAY GOODBYE. >> IMAGINE HOW MUCH OF A
01:38:22 NEIGHBORHOOD'S HISTORY YOU HOLD WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN A PART OF SO
01:38:26 MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES FOR THAT LONG.
01:38:27 >> BEHIND EVERY ARRANGEMENT IS SOMEONE'S CELEBRATION SOMEONE'S
01:38:30 MEMORY OR SOMEONE THEY LOVE. VIRGINIA HAS BROUGHT HER OWN
01:38:34 CARE TO EACH OF THOSE MOMENTS DESIGNING AND MAKING HER
01:38:37 ARRANGEMENTS AND GIFTS BY HAND. FOR HER DAUGHTER ELIZABETH THE
01:38:41 SHOP WAS ALSO A PLACE TO GROW UP.
01:38:43 SHE REMEMBERS DOING HOMEWORK IN THE BACK WHILE REGULAR
01:38:45 CUSTOMERS STOPPED BY TO WISH HER GOOD LUCK ON HER EXAMS.
01:38:49 THE MERCHANTS ALONG IRVING STREET BECAME LIKE AUNTIES
01:38:53 AND UNCLES SURROUNDING HER OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND CARE.
01:38:59 THAT IS THE KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD WE TREASURE IN THE
01:39:00 SUNSET A PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY REMEMBER YOUR
01:39:03 CHILDREN AND TAKE A MOMENT OUT OF THEIR DAY TO ASK HOW YOU ARE
01:39:07 DOING. >> VIRGINIA'S SHOP HAS HELPED
01:39:10 KEEP THAT SPIRIT ALIVE. IN 2014 VIRGINIA MOVED SNB
01:39:13 COLLECTIONS TO JUDITH STREET AND CONTINUE TO SERVING THE
01:39:17 COMMUNITY SHE KNEW AND LOVED. THROUGH THAT MOVE AND THE
01:39:18 CHALLENGES OF RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS SHE KEPT SHOWING UP
01:39:22 FOR HER CUSTOMERS. VIRGINIA I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW
01:39:25 MUCH THAT MEANS. YOUR YEARS OF WORK HAVE GIVEN

01:39:33 WELCOME AND SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL TO BRING HOME TO THE PEOPLE

01:40:29 IN OCTOBER 1992 AND HAS BEEN A PRIVILEGE TO SERVE THE
01:40:32 COMMUNITY OVER 34 YEARS. >> THIS BUSINESS ALLOWED ME TO
01:40:36 BE PART OF SO MANY IMPORTANT MOMENTS IN PEOPLE'S LIFE FROM
01:40:40 BIRTH TO PROMS TO GRADUATIONS TO WEDDING OVER THE YEARS.
01:40:47 NOT LIKE A TYPICAL BUSINESS STAY IN ONE AREA WE THRIVE WITH
01:40:51 ALONG WITH OUR CUSTOMER. WE FIRST STARTED AS A BABY
01:40:55 CLOTHING STORE IN 1992 BABY GROWING UP.
01:40:59 THEN WE STOPPED SELLING HELLO KITTY POKEMON'S BEANIE BABY
01:41:03 PRECIOUS MOMENT. THEY ALWAYS REFER TO ME AS THE
01:41:07 HELLO KITTY LADIES WHEN THEY ENTER HIGH SCHOOL.
01:41:10 >> THEY COME TO ME FOR MAKING PROM CHRIS CHARGES GRADUATIONS
01:41:17 ,LEIS AND I WILL CHANGE ALONG WITH TO FULFILL WHAT MY

01:43:46 . >> DISTRICT FIVE SUPERVISOR
01:43:49 MAHMOOD. >> COLLEAGUES TODAY I AM PROUD
01:43:53 TO RECOGNIZE THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS OF
01:43:55 THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA AS IT CELEBRATES ITS 32ND
01:43:58 ANNIVERSARY COMING CONSIDERING FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES
01:44:07 CARE HAS BEEN A CRITICAL VOICE FOR THE BAY AREA'S MUSLIM
01:44:10 COMMUNITY WORKING TO PROTECT CIVIL RIGHTS, DEFEND RELIGIOUS
01:44:15 FREEDOM AND MAKE SURE MUSLIM FAMILIES HAVE A PLACE AT THE
01:44:18 TABLE. >> CARE'S WORK IS ESPECIALLY
01:44:19 IMPORTANT AT A TIME WHEN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO FACE
01:44:23 DISCRIMINATION ISLAMOPHOBIA AND ATTACKS ON THEIR CIVIL
01:44:26 RIGHTS. >> CARE PROVIDES CRITICAL LEGAL
01:44:30 SUPPORT AND IMMIGRANT IMMIGRATION DEFENSE TO MEMBERS
01:44:31 OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY AND OTHERS ACROSS THE BAY AREA.
01:44:34 HELPING PEOPLE NAVIGATE SOME OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL
01:44:38 AND DIFFICULT MOMENTS OF THEIR LIVES.
01:44:41 >> THEY'RE ALSO THERE WHEN COMMUNITIES NEED THEM MOST.
01:44:45 WHETHER RESPONDING TO ISLAMOPHOBIC INCIDENTS,
01:44:46 SUPPORTING FAMILIES WHEN CHILDREN EXPERIENCE HATE CRIMES
01:44:49 OR STANDING WITH COMMUNITIES FOLLOWING THE ATTACKS ON
01:44:52 MOSQUES AND ISLAMIC INSTITUTIONS, CARE HAS
01:44:53 CONSISTENTLY SERVED AS A FRONTLINE RESOURCE FOR PEOPLE
01:44:57 WHO NEED SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY. >> BUT CARE'S WORK GOES BEYOND
01:45:00 RESPONDING TO DISCRIMINATION. THEY HAVE ALSO HELPED BUILD A
01:45:04 STRONGER AND MORE CIVICALLY ENGAGED MUSLIM COMMUNITY ACROSS
01:45:07 THE BAY AREA MOBILIZING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO REGISTER
01:45:11 TO VOTE, PARTICIPATE IN OUR DEMOCRATIC PROCESS AND ADVOCATE
01:45:15 FOR POLICIES THAT AFFECT THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES.
01:45:17 I WAS PROBABLY TEN YEARS OLD WHEN I PROBABLY WENT TO MY
01:45:21 FIRST CARE EVENT. >> CARE HAS ALSO PLAYED AN
01:45:23 IMPORTANT ROLE IN STATEWIDE ADVOCACY INCLUDING THIS YEAR'S
01:45:27 MUSLIM DAY AT THE CAPITOL AND EFFORTS TO BRING MUSLIM
01:45:30 COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER WITH STATE LEADERS
01:45:31 AROUND LEGISLATION IMPORTANT TO MUSLIM FAMILIES AND CARE HAS A
01:45:36 LONG HISTORY OF PRINCIPLED ADVOCACY HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO
01:45:40 . >> THE ORGANIZATION WAS PART OF
01:45:41 THE COALITION THAT SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR US WITH PD TO
01:45:44 WITHDRAW FROM THE FBI'S JOINT TERRORISM TASK FORCE IN 2017
01:45:48 AND WAS ALSO PART OF THE BROAD COALITION THAT HELPED BRING SAN
01:45:52 FRANCISCO'S CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION BEFORE THE BOARD
01:45:54 IN 2020. >> FOR THESE MILESTONES REFLECT
01:45:55 SOMETHING FUNDAMENTAL ABOUT CARE'S ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITY.
01:45:59 THEY DON'T JUST RESPOND WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN CRISIS.
01:46:02 THEY ORGANIZE, ADVOCATE, EDUCATE AND HELP BUILD THE
01:46:06 CIVIC POWER OF COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE TOO OFTEN BEEN LEFT OUT OF
01:46:08 THE CONVERSATION. >> FOR 32 YEARS CARE S.F. BAY
01:46:11 AREA HAS HELPED MAKE THE BAY A PLACE WHERE MUSLIM RESIDENTS
01:46:15 CAN LIVE OPENLY PARTICIPATE FULLY IN CIVIC LIFE AND KNOW
01:46:19 THAT THERE ARE PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS WILLING TO
01:46:23 STAND WITH THEM WHEN THEIR RIGHTS ARE THREATENED.
01:46:24 >> I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADDRESS A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE HOW SALIENT
01:46:30 THIS RECOGNITION IS. JUST LAST WEEK GOVERNOR RON
01:46:31 DESANTIS AND THE FLORIDA CABINET VOTED TO DESIGNATE CARE
01:46:35 TO BE ON A WATCH LIST. >> TO THAT I SAY TWO THINGS
01:46:39 ONE, RON DESANTIS CAN GO SCREW HIMSELF.
01:46:42 >> AND THEN SECOND AS THE FIRST MUSLIM MEMBER OF THE SAN
01:46:47 FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ,I KNOW FIRSTHAND THE WORK
01:46:50 CARE DOES AND THE DANGER THAT THIS KIND OF CHARACTERIZATION
01:46:54 CARRIES. >> AND SO THAT IS EXACTLY WHY
01:46:58 RECOGNITIONS LIKE TODAY'S MATTER AS A GOVERNING BODY THE
01:47:01 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO UPLIFT
01:47:03 AND STAND WITH CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND NOT LEND
01:47:05 LEGITIMACY TO RACIST AND ISLAMOPHOBIC CLAIMS LIKE
01:47:09 THE ONES THE SCIENTISTS AND OTHER REPUBLICANS ARE
01:47:11 ESPOUSING THAT THREATEN THIS VERY COMMUNITY AND THE
01:47:14 ORGANIZATIONS IT REPRESENTS. >> ON BEHALF OF THE SAN
01:47:18 FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE
01:47:19 COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS SAN FRANCISCO BAY
01:47:22 AREA ON 32 YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY.
01:47:26 >> THANK YOU TO EVERYONE TO CARE PAST AND PRESENT FOR THE
01:47:27 WORK YOU HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO.
01:47:30 PROUD TO RECOGNIZE THIS ANNIVERSARY.
01:47:31 I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND EXCITED TO
01:47:34 CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD A SAN FRANCISCO WHERE
01:47:37 EVERY COMMUNITY CAN FEEL SAFE, RESPECTED AND FULLY AT HOME.
01:47:41 >> CONGRATULATIONS ON 32 YEARS AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING
01:47:42 THAT YOU DO. >> I WONDERED HOW I WOULD
01:47:52 ADDRESS GOVERNOR DESANTIS RACE BUT I THINK YOU FOUND WORDS
01:47:56 BETTER THAN MINE. >> SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD.
01:47:59 >> ASSALAMU ALAIKUM. GREETINGS OF PEACE.
01:48:03 THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD. THANK YOU TO YOUR STAFF
01:48:07 AND THANK YOU TO THIS ENTIRE BOARD FOR THIS RECOGNITION.
01:48:11 MY NAME IS ZAHRA BILLOO AND I AM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF
01:48:13 THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA OFFICE OF CARE.
01:48:16 THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS.
01:48:19 WE ARE THE NATION'S LARGEST AMERICAN MUSLIM CIVIL RIGHTS
01:48:21 ORGANIZATION. >> AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS
01:48:24 RECOGNITION IS PERSONAL BECAUSE I STARTED MY LEGAL CAREER RIGHT
01:48:31 HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY.
01:48:34 WHAT HAS NOW BEEN RENAMED U.S. LAW?
01:48:36 I WALKED THE STREETS OF THE TENDERLOIN AND LEARNED TO
01:48:40 ACKNOWLEDGE HOW PRIVILEGED I WAS TO BECOME A LAWYER IN THIS
01:48:43 BEAUTIFUL CITY TO HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES, A VOICE AND SO
01:48:50 MANY ALLIES LIKE YOURSELVES. I DON'T REMEMBER HOW OLD I WAS
01:48:54 WHEN I WENT TO THE FIRST CARE EVENT.
01:48:55 BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT MATH TODAY.
01:49:00 >> CARE HAS BEEN DOING THIS WORK FOR MORE THAN 32 YEARS.
01:49:04 OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE JUSTICE, ENHANCE THE
01:49:05 UNDERSTANDING OF ISLAM AND EMPOWER AMERICAN MUSLIMS.
01:49:09 AND AS SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD ADDRESSED, WE DO THAT THROUGH
01:49:12 LEGAL SERVICES MEDIA ENGAGEMENT ,ADVOCACY, COMMUNITY OUTREACH
01:49:16 AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. THIS BOARD AND THIS COMMUNITY
01:49:19 HAVE LONG BEEN PARTNERS IN THAT WORK.
01:49:23 MOST OF YOU WE PARTNERED WITH THE POLICE COMMISSION AND THE
01:49:30 BOARD TO DISENTANGLE THE FBI AND THE LOCAL POLICE.
01:49:34 IT TOOK US NEARLY A DECADE TO DO SO.
01:49:35 BUT I STILL REMEMBER THAT DAY IN 2017 WHEN WE AGREED THAT
01:49:41 ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH AND THAT SAN FRANCISCO'S STANDARDS FOR CIVIL
01:49:45 LIBERTIES SET THE MODEL FOR THE COUNTRY IF WE WOULD ABIDE BY
01:49:50 THEM. WE PARTNERED WITH THE HUMAN
01:49:53 RIGHTS COMMISSION AND THIS BOARD TO RESPOND TO ANTI-MUSLIM
01:49:57 BUS ADS WHEN THEY WERE FIRST SHOWING UP IN SAN FRANCISCO
01:50:00 AND THEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE AGAIN WE RESPONDED WITH
01:50:04 CIVIL RIGHTS IN MIND NOT CENSORING SPEECH BUT RESPONDING
01:50:08 TO BAD SPEECH WITH MORE SPEECH. AND IN RECENT YEARS WE'VE
01:50:15 WORKED WITH THIS BOARD AND SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD TO
01:50:16 ACKNOWLEDGE MUSLIM APPRECIATE THAT WORK MATTERS TODAY AS MUCH
01:50:24 AS IT DID WHEN I BEGAN MY CAREER IN 2009 AND WHEN CARE
01:50:27 BEGAN ITS WORK IN 1994, EVEN BEFORE GOVERNOR DESANTIS TRIED
01:50:31 TO OUTLAW OUR WORK, SENATOR TED CRUZ DARED TO TAKE OUR NAME ON
01:50:35 CAPITOL HILL AND AN ISLAMOPHOBIC HEARING.
01:50:38 THOSE WORDS THOSE ACTIONS BY OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE
01:50:42 CONSEQUENCES. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO PEW
01:50:46 RESEARCH RELEASED A NEW REPORT ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT IS WORSE
01:50:50 TODAY THAN IT WAS IN THE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE 911
01:50:54 ATTACKS. 25 YEARS LATER AND SOMETIMES IT
01:50:57 FEELS LIKE WE'RE GOING ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK.
01:51:05 I KNOW THOUGH THAT LIKE ME, ALL OF YOU ARE TIRED OF FIGHTING
01:51:09 AGAINST WHAT WE DON'T WANT FIGHTING HARM AND RACISM
01:51:15 AND BIGOTRY. I WANT US TO FOCUS ON A FUTURE
01:51:19 THAT WE COULD LOOK FORWARD TO SOMETHING THAT WE HOPE OUR
01:51:24 CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WILL GROW UP IN.
01:51:27 AND IF I WERE TO DESCRIBE THAT TO YOU BRIEFLY, I WOULD SUGGEST
01:51:29 IT'S A FUTURE WHERE WE ALL HAVE THE FREEDOM TO THRIVE
01:51:34 IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR FAITH OR EVEN OUR POLITICAL PARTIES.
01:51:39 >> AND I TAKE HEART IN KNOWING THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IN DOING
01:51:43 THAT WORK. I'M JOINED TODAY BY SEVERAL
01:51:45 COLLEAGUES FROM CARE AS WELL AS OUR NEWEST HUMAN RIGHTS
01:51:49 COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER HUDSON, REPRESENTATIVES FROM
01:51:50 SEIU, THE LOCAL 21 OLIVE FOUNDATION, IMAM NYLE FROM THE
01:51:58 HISTORIC SAN FRANCISCO MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTER AND OUR
01:52:02 BELOVED OKARA FAMILY. I THANK THEM FOR BEING HERE
01:52:06 AND FOR STANDING WITH CARE AS WE DO THIS WORK AND I THANK ALL
01:52:07 OF YOU FOR DOING IT WITH US. SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD.
01:52:11 WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO PARTNER WITH YOU.
01:52:14 BOARD MEMBERS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH
01:52:17 YOU TO MEET YOUR MUSLIM CONSTITUENTS TO ENSURE THAT
01:52:21 EVERY MOSQUE IN THIS COMMUNITY KNOWS HOW TO REACH THEIR
01:52:22 ELECTED OFFICIALS AND HOW TO GET HELP AND TO BUILDING A
01:52:25 FUTURE THAT OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND YES, EVEN OUR
01:52:30 LONG STANDING, LONG LIVING HEALTHY PETS CAN LOOK FORWARD
01:52:34 TO. THANK YOU
01:53:33 . DISTRICT SIX SUPERVISOR DORSEY
01:53:37 . THANK YOU PRESIDENT RANDLEMAN.
01:53:38 COLLEAGUES I TODAY HAVE THE HONOR OF RECOGNIZING AN
01:53:42 ORGANIZATION THAT HAS SPENT FOUR DECADES STANDING UP FOR
01:53:45 IMMIGRANT FAMILIES STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES
01:53:48 AND MAKING SAN FRANCISCO MORE WELCOMING, MORE JUST AND IN
01:53:52 EVERY SENSE TRUER TO OUR ENDURING VALUES AS THE CITY OF
01:53:56 SAINT FRANCIS. I PROUDLY RECOGNIZE KERRISON
01:54:00 IN THE CENTRAL AMERICAN RESOURCE CENTER OF NORTHERN
01:54:01 CALIFORNIA AND IT'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LARISSA DUKE
01:54:04 IN QUADRA. >> THE REASON I FEEL UP
01:54:10 GARRISON'S STORY IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE HISTORY OF SAN
01:54:15 FRANCISCO'S LATIN AMERICAN COMMUNITY.
01:54:18 ITS FOUNDERS WERE ACTIVE IN THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT THAT
01:54:21 EMERGED IN THE 1970S IN RESPONSE TO PROFOUND
01:54:25 POLITICAL AND ECONOMIC INJUSTICES IN CENTRAL AMERICA.
01:54:26 >> MANY WERE FORCED TO FLEE CIVIL WARS AND STATE VIOLENCE
01:54:30 IN EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA AND ELSEWHERE.
01:54:34 SOME CAME TO SAN FRANCISCO AND IN 1986 THEY FOUNDED
01:54:37 PATTERSON TO SUPPORT CENTRAL AMERICANS WHO WERE FLEEING
01:54:41 POLITICAL REPRESSION AND VIOLENCE.
01:54:43 THEY BEGAN WITH VERY FEW RESOURCES BUT WITH
01:54:45 EXTRAORDINARY DETERMINATION. AND I UNDERSTAND ONE OF THOSE
01:54:49 FOUNDERS, RICARDO CALDERON, IS STILL A PART OF CORAZON TODAY
01:54:52 SERVING AS A SENIOR PARALEGAL FROM SOME SOME 40 YEARS LATER.
01:54:59 CARISSA NOW SERVES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR THROUGH AN
01:55:03 INCREDIBLE RANGE OF PROGRAMS. IT'S IMMIGRATION LEGAL PROGRAM
01:55:06 PROVIDES DROP IN CONSULTATIONS ,TATTOO REMOVAL DEFENSE RAPID
01:55:10 RESPONSE AND COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES.
01:55:15 KERRISON ALSO PROVIDES THE SECOND CHANCE YOUTH PROGRAM A
01:55:21 TATTOO REMOVAL CLINIC. FAMILY WELLNESS AND HEALTH
01:55:25 PROMOTION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH

02:21:22 COLLEAGUES, I JUST HAVE ONE RESOLUTION TODAY.
02:21:24 I'M PROUD TO INTRODUCE A RESOLUTION CELEBRATING 100
02:21:29 YEARS OF THE DAY AS SAN FRANCISCO'S OFFICIAL FLOWER
02:21:33 IN 1926 THIS BOARD UNANIMOUSLY DESIGNATED THE DAHLIA AS OUR
02:21:38 OFFICIAL FLOWER DESCRIBING IT AS THE VERY SYMBOL OF SAN
02:21:42 FRANCISCO LIFE AND THE SPIRIT OF HER PEOPLE.
02:21:45 >> I THINK THAT THIS DESCRIPTION STILL RINGS TRUE
02:21:47 TODAY THE DAHLIA IS RESILIENT, BEAUTIFUL AND COMES IN AN
02:21:53 INCREDIBLE VARIETY OF COLORS AND FORMS.
02:21:54 >> MUCH LIKE SAN FRANCISCO ITSELF, ITS HISTORY HERE IS
02:21:58 ALSO A REFLECTION OF OUR CITY'S IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES INCLUDING
02:22:02 THE JAPANESE, AMERICAN, ITALIAN, CHINESE AND OTHER
02:22:06 GROWERS WHO HELPED BUILD OUR LOCAL FLOWER INDUSTRY.
02:22:10 >> I WANT TO ESPECIALLY RECOGNIZE THE DAHLIA SOCIETY OF
02:22:13 CALIFORNIA FOUNDED HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1917.
02:22:17 THE VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE SPENT MORE THAN A CENTURY CULTIVATING
02:22:21 AND SHARING THIS FLOWER WITH OUR COMMUNITY THE DAHLIA DALE
02:22:25 AND GOLDEN GATE PARK IS A BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THAT
02:22:29 LEGACY AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SAN FRANCISCO FLOWER MARKET
02:22:33 WHICH HAS BEEN A PART OF OUR CITY'S HISTORY SINCE 1912.
02:22:37 THE FLOWER MARKET REPRESENTS IMMIGRANT ENTREPRENEURSHIP,
02:22:40 FAMILY BUSINESSES, CREATIVITY AND THOUSANDS OF JOBS ACROSS
02:22:45 OUR REGION. NOW AT THE FLOWER MARKET
02:22:49 ESTABLISHED IN ITS NEW HOME AND PETRO HUE WE HAVE AN
02:22:50 OPPORTUNITY AND A RESPONSIBILITY TO ENSURE THAT
02:22:54 THIS INSTITUTION CONTINUES TO THRIVE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME.
02:23:00 I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS BOARD AND THE CITY STAND BEHIND
02:23:04 THE LONG TERM SUCCESS AND VIABILITY AND VIABILITY OF
02:23:08 THE SAN FRANCISCO FLOWER MARKET AND THE JOBS AND COMMUNITY IT
02:23:12 SUPPORTS. AS WE CELEBRATE THE DYER'S
02:23:14 FIRST 100 YEARS AS OUR OFFICIAL FLOWER, LET'S ALSO COMMIT TO
02:23:18 PRESERVING THE PEOPLE INSTITUTIONS AND TRADITIONS
02:23:22 THAT WILL CARRY THIS LEGACY FORWARD FOR THE NEXT 100 YEARS.
02:23:26 >> WE APPRECIATE YOUR SUPPORT AND YOUR PARTNERSHIP
02:23:30 IN CELEBRATING THIS HISTORY AND THE FUTURE OF SAN
02:23:33 FRANCISCO'S FLOWER INDUSTRY. WE LOOK FORWARD TO MOVING THIS
02:23:37 RESOLUTION FORWARD WITH SUPPORT FROM MY COLLEAGUES ON THIS

02:24:00 CONTRIBUTIONS OF JOAN OF JOHN MCLAREN PART AND COMMEMORATING
02:24:04 THE HISTORIC 100 YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF ITS
02:24:08 ESTABLISHMENT. THE VISION FOR THIS EXPANSIVE
02:24:12 PUBLIC SPACE WAS SET IN MOTION BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 100
02:24:18 YEARS AGO IN 1926 THROUGH THE ADOPTION OF LAND ACQUISITION
02:24:22 POLICIES PROTECTING URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION EFFORTS
02:24:26 AND PUBLIC ACCESS, A SAN FRANCISCO'S SECOND LARGEST
02:24:30 PART, MCLAREN PARK SERVES AS A VITAL ECOLOGICAL, RECREATIONAL
02:24:34 AND CULTURAL ANCHOR FOR THE SURROUNDING EXCELSIOR PORTOLA
02:24:38 VISITATION VALLEY COMMUNITIES. >> IT PROVIDES AN REPLACEABLE
02:24:43 SANCTUARY OF BIODIVERSITY WITHIN OUR URBAN ENVIRONMENT
02:24:47 ENCOMPASSING NATIVE WELL WETLANDS COASTAL SCARP WILDFIRE
02:24:55 ,WHITE WILDFLOWERS AND A THRIVING URBAN FOREST.
02:24:59 >> FOR TEN DECADES IT HAS ALSO BEEN A VIBRANT CULTURAL
02:25:03 CROSSROADS HOSTING COMMUNITY FESTIVALS, ATHLETIC
02:25:07 COMPETITIONS AND FAMILY CELEBRATION THAT REFLECTS THE
02:25:10 RICH DIVERSITY AND RESILIENCE SPIRITS OF OUT OF OUR
02:25:15 SOUTHEASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS. >> DEPARTS SUSTAIN THE BEAUTY
02:25:19 AND VITALITY THE DIRECT RESULT OF DECADES OF PASSIONATE DRAW

02:25:35 APPRECIATION TO MY CO-SPONSORS SUPERVISOR ERS WALTON
02:25:39 AND FYODOR WITH WHOM I SHARED THE HONOR OF REPRESENTING THE
02:25:43 THREE SOUTHEASTERN DISTRICT THAT STEWARD THIS INCREDIBLE
02:25:47 CITY FOR CIVIL TREASURE. >> I LOOK FORWARD TO
02:25:48 COMMEMORATING THE 100TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY ALONGSIDE I WOULD
02:25:52 OFFER YOU AND THE REST I SUBMIT.
02:25:55 >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHEN SUPERVISOR
02:25:56 DORSEY. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
02:26:00 COLLEAGUES, I AM TODAY FORMALLY INTRODUCING LEGISLATION WE
02:26:03 ANNOUNCED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO ESTABLISH THE SOBER SPACES
02:26:07 PROGRAM AND FUND TO COLLEAGUES ATTENDEES HERE IN THE BOARD
02:26:11 CHAMBER AND VIEWERS AT HOME. YOU'RE ALL WELCOME TO GET YOUR
02:26:15 FREE STICKERS AT MY OFFICE IN ROOM 284 THE SOBER SPACES
02:26:18 LEGISLATION AIMS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO MEETING SITES FOR
02:26:23 ABSTINENCE BASED RECOVERY PROGRAMS AND TO BETTER SUPPORT
02:26:26 SOBER NONPROFITS THAT HAVE SERVED SAN FRANCISCO'S RECOVERY
02:26:30 COMMUNITY FOR DECADES. THIS LEGISLATION AIMS IN PART
02:26:33 TO REMOVE WHAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A MAJOR OBSTACLE TO THE
02:26:37 USE OF CITY OWNED FACILITIES BY RECOVERY GROUPS THAT REQUIRE
02:26:41 CONSISTENTLY RECURRING MEETING LOCATION AND BY GUARANTEEING
02:26:44 ACCESS EVEN ON HOLIDAYS FOR MANY OF US IN RECOVERY IN FACT
02:26:49 ESPECIALLY ON HOLIDAYS WHEN RECOVERY MEETINGS CAN BE VERY
02:26:52 IMPORTANT, IT WILL REQUIRE SAN FRANCISCO'S RECREATION
02:26:56 AND PARKS DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE THEIR
02:26:57 COMMUNITY ROOMS AVAILABLE ANY DAY OF THE YEAR AT NO COST TO
02:27:01 MEETING PARTICIPANTS TO ABSTINENCE BASED MUTUAL HELP
02:27:04 PROGRAMS. THESE ARE PROGRAMS LIKE
02:27:07 ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS AND NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS BUT
02:27:08 THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT LIMITED TO THOSE.
02:27:11 SAN FRANCISCO HAS NO SMALL NUMBER OF NON 12 STEP RECOVERY
02:27:16 PROGRAMS LIKE RECOVERY DHARMA WHICH IS A BUDDHIST TRADITION
02:27:19 SMART RECOVERY LIFE BRINGS SECULAR RECOVERY WHICH HAS A
02:27:23 WEEKLY MEETING HERE IN CITY HALL AT 12 NOON ON FRIDAYS
02:27:26 AMONG MANY OTHERS. IT WILL ALSO BENEFIT MANY OF
02:27:30 SAN FRANCISCO'S NEWER NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDING SOME
02:27:31 IN MY DISTRICT LIKE MISSION BAY AND TREASURE ISLAND THAT REALLY
02:27:34 DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO CHURCH BASEMENTS OR COMMUNITY BASED
02:27:38 SOBER SPACES. OTHERWISE IT WILL ESTABLISH A
02:27:41 NEW FUND TO FURTHER OUR LEGISLATIVE EXTEND INTENT TO
02:27:45 EXPAND THE AVAILABILITY OF MEETING SPACES FOR ABSTINENCE
02:27:49 BASED RECOVERY GROUPS CITYWIDE. THAT FUND WILL HELP TO DEFRAY
02:27:52 CITY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRAM'S OPERATION THROUGH
02:27:55 VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS.
02:27:57 >> IT WILL ALSO ENABLE 12 STEP PROGRAMS TO HONOR THEIR SEVENTH
02:28:03 TRADITION TO BE SELF SUPPORTING.
02:28:04 IT WILL FACILITATE GRANTS APPROPRIATED THROUGH THE CITY'S
02:28:07 ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS AND ADMINISTERED BY THE MAYOR'S
02:28:08 OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OR CD TO BETTER
02:28:11 SUPPORT OUR MANY COMMUNITY BASED SOBER NONPROFITS.
02:28:15 THESE INCLUDE COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS WE ALL KNOW LIKE
02:28:19 THE CASTRO COUNTRY CLUB, THE DRY DOCK GROUP OF CENTRAL
02:28:22 MISSION FELLOWSHIP, THE GRATITUDE CENTER AND OTHERS.
02:28:25 >> SAN FRANCISCO IS BLESSED WITH A LARGE AND INCREDIBLY
02:28:29 VIBRANT RECOVERY COMMUNITY YET IT REMAINS ONE OF OUR MOST
02:28:32 UNDERFUNDED CONSTITUENCIES EVEN AMID THE PERSISTENTLY DEADLY
02:28:36 DRUG CRISIS WE FACE PEER REVIEWED RESEARCH MAKES CLEAR
02:28:40 THAT FEW PUBLIC INVESTMENTS COULD BE MORE WORTHWHILE THAN
02:28:43 SUPPORTING THE WORK OF ABSTINENCE BASED MUTUAL HELP
02:28:45 PROGRAMS. >> THESE TRADITIONS HAVE
02:28:47 DEMONSTRATED REMARKABLE SUCCESS NOT SIMPLY TO FACILITATE LONG
02:28:51 TERM RECOVERY AMONG THOSE WHO'VE STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION
02:28:54 AND ALCOHOLISM BUT TO REDUCE HEALTH CARE AND OTHER PUBLIC
02:28:58 COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH UNTREATED ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE USE
02:29:00 DISORDERS. >> THE SOBER SPACE PROGRAM
02:29:03 AND FUND IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO BETTER PRIORITIZE LONG TERM
02:29:07 RECOVERY AND I'M INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE INPUT OF
02:29:10 ADDICTION MEDICINE EXPERTS LIKE DR. KEITH HUMPHREYS AND DR.
02:29:14 ARNOLD LEMKE, BOTH OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY.
02:29:17 THANKS AS WELL TO MY INITIAL CO SPONSORS PRESIDENT RANDLEMAN AS
02:29:19 WELL AS SUPERVISORS HUANG MAHMOOD FIELDER, CHAN MELGAR
02:29:22 AND SAUTER. >> AND FINALLY THANKS TO MY

02:33:29 I JUST WANT TO START BY SAYING THANK YOU FOR THE PEOPLE THAT
02:33:33 YOU'VE HONORED TODAY. I THINK A LOT OF WHAT THEY SAID
02:33:37 WAS REPRESENTATION MATTERS. >> SO IT WAS REALLY GREAT TO
02:33:41 SEE A LOT OF WOMEN UP HERE, A LOT OF LATINO WOMAN WOMEN OF
02:33:45 DIFFERENT RELIGIONS, MEN IN LOW WRITING COUNCIL AND ALL OF
02:33:52 THAT. AWESOME.
02:33:52 SO THANK YOU FOR THAT AND AS A LATINA I THINK THAT SEEING
02:34:01 PEOPLE COME UP HERE AND ALSO TALK ABOUT THAT REPRESENTATION
02:34:05 REPRESENTATION HELPS ME GET UP HERE TOO AND SO I ALSO WANTED
02:34:11 TO SAY THAT THE RECOVERY PROGRAM TO OFFER THIS SOBER
02:34:15 SPACES IS ANOTHER UNDERREPRESENTED GROUP
02:34:19 AND TALKING OF UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS TO SUPERVISOR WALTON'S
02:34:23 PASSING OF THE MORATORIUM ON DATA CENTERS I THINK THAT IS A
02:34:27 REALLY GOOD PASSING BECAUSE THERE ARE READY GROUPS,
02:34:32 UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS AFFECTED AND THERE'S AN
02:34:35 ASSEMBLY BILL 617 ALSO CALLED COMMUNITY AIR PROTECTION
02:34:38 PROGRAM BEING LED BY THE BAY AREA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT
02:34:41 DISTRICT AND THEY'RE INCLUDING AN AIR ASSESSMENT WITHIN MANY
02:34:48 DISTRICTS INCLUDING PUERTO ELECTRA.
02:34:52 HER MISSION BAY THE MISSION BAYVIEW HUNTERS POINT AND THEY
02:34:56 HAVE A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THESE GROUPS ALREADY
02:35:01 ARE SUFFERING FROM THE POOR AIR QUALITY.
02:35:04 >> AND I THINK IN REGARDS TO DATA CENTERS WE SHOULDN'T HAVE
02:35:08 TO DECIDE WHERE TO PUT THEM AND WHERE THEY MAY HARM OTHERS.
02:35:10 >> I THINK THERE SHOULD NOT BE IN ANY SPACE NEAR PEOPLE WHERE
02:35:17 IT CAN LEAD TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES.
02:35:18 >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
02:35:22 WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS.
02:35:32 >> I'M PETER WARFIELD, HEAD OF LIBRARY USERS ASSOCIATION.
02:35:35 THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF
02:35:42 ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IMPACTS TODAY.
02:35:46 BUT IN ADDITION TO THE VERY SERIOUS LAND USE ISSUES THERE
02:35:54 ARE OTHER ADDITIONAL SERIOUS ISSUES AS WELL.
02:36:01 THESE INCLUDE THINGS LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY, SECURITY,
02:36:08 PRIVACY AND EVEN HUMAN SURVIVAL WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT EVEN
02:36:13 THE COMPANY HEADS. A NUMBER OF COMPANY HEADS HAVE
02:36:17 TAKEN UP AT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVELS.
02:36:20 >> I THINK THAT THIS BOARD IS VERY WELL POSITIONED TO STUDY
02:36:24 COMPREHENSIVELY THE DANGERS TO OUR SOCIETY, OUR WORLD AND TO
02:36:32 INDIVIDUALS, EVEN DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN SURVIVAL.
02:36:33 AS I MENTIONED ALL SORTS OF EXPERTS AND EVEN AS I SAY,
02:36:40 HEADS OF AIR COMPANIES HAVE WARNED ABOUT THOSE.
02:36:43 >> DID YOU SEE PLEASE USE YOUR OFFICE IN YOUR OFFICES TO
02:36:48 RESEARCH REPORT ON AND CONSIDER ACTION TO PROTECT SAN
02:36:56 FRANCISCANS AND OTHERS FROM THE VERY PROBLEMATIC KNOWN
02:37:03 AND POTENTIAL DOWNSIDES OF THIS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
02:37:07 TECHNOLOGY. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:37:12 THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> WELCOME TO THE NEXT SPEAKER
02:37:19 . >> HI.
02:37:19 MY NAME IS MINA YOUNG, PRESIDENT OF BUSINESS
02:37:24 AND HOUSING NETWORK. I WISH MY FELLOW HARDWORKING
02:37:27 HOUSING PROVIDERS COULD BE RECOGNIZED BUT TODAY WE CAN
02:37:32 ONLY HOPE FOR A LITTLE LESS BEATINGS.
02:37:35 >> PLEASE DO NOT PASS VILE. 260962.
02:37:39 IT IS BARBARA I. >> WE WILL ONLY CREATE MORE
02:37:45 SHORTAGE ON HOUSING. I WAS ONE OF THE THE COURT
02:37:52 MENTIONED ONE TIME TO REVERSE A 2015 ORDINANCE THE SAN
02:37:55 FRANCISCO POLICY OF RENT CONTROL ONLY ARTIFICIALLY
02:38:00 CREATE MORE AND MORE WIDEN THE GAP OF THE THE RENT RATE WHICH
02:38:07 WILL ONLY INCREASE WITH LENGTH OF TENANCY.
02:38:11 >> SO THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US ARE THE IMMIGRANT OWNERS
02:38:19 AND THOSE WITH LOW FIXED INCOME.
02:38:20 >> THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE A BEATING LIKE THAT.
02:38:24 WE LENDERS ARE LEGAL LITIGATION RISK BECAUSE WITH EACH RENT NOT
02:38:34 PAID THEY COULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD CATCH UP TO
02:38:39 THE MONTH THAT MONTHLY RATE AT THE MARKET.
02:38:43 SO AS SOME OF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE ALREADY MOVING
02:38:49 AWAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO DUE TO THE HIGH LITIGATION RISKS.
02:38:54 SO PLEASE DO NOT PASS THIS FILE.

02:42:05 SO I'VE BEEN VERY EMOTIONAL. I MEAN THAT LAST COMMENT WAS
02:42:09 GOING TO MAKE ME CRY. SO IT'S ONLY BEEN FIVE YEARS
02:42:15 SINCE LEARNING HOW TO MANAGE BEING A MARGINALIZED PERSON
02:42:18 IN A MARGINALIZED COMMUNITY TRANS MEXICAN-AMERICAN AND THE
02:42:25 LATINO COMMUNITY. AND I DON'T HAVE EXPECTATION
02:42:29 ANYMORE FOR HOW PEOPLE ACT. >> BUT I DO HAVE HOPE AND I
02:42:36 HOPE ONE DAY PEOPLE WANT TO BE MORE INCLUSIVE AGAIN.
02:42:40 I HOPE ONE DAY PEOPLE ARE MORE LOVING AGAIN AND YOU KNOW, I
02:42:48 HAVE THESE ISSUES IN MY OWN FAMILY AS WELL.
02:42:52 PEOPLE HAVE KNOWN ME SINCE I WAS A BABY AND LOVE ME SINCE
02:42:56 THEN AND THEY STILL HAVE THESE ISSUES.
02:42:57 SO THAT'S ALL I'M GOING TO SAY .
02:43:00 THANK YOU, LEAH, FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
02:43:03 >> WELCOME TO THE NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD AFTERNOON.
02:43:05 MY NAME'S PETER. I'M A RECOVERING ADDICT AND I
02:43:08 JUST WANT TO SAY THIS HAS BEEN A WONDERFUL AFTERNOON.
02:43:10 >> I WAS PLEASED TO SEE A NEWS ARTICLE THAT WE'RE TALKING
02:43:12 ABOUT BANNING DANGEROUS TORCH LIGHTERS IN THE CITY.
02:43:15 I CAN'T RECOMMEND THAT HIGHLY ENOUGH.
02:43:16 I'M NOT SURPRISED THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS HAVING TROUBLE
02:43:19 WITH THESE LIGHTERS BECAUSE THEY ARE PURPOSE BUILT FOR FOR
02:43:22 PEOPLE USING DRUGS SMOKE, VAPORIZE METHANOL AND HEROIN.
02:43:27 >> I WOULD HOPE THAT WE COULD BAN ALL HIGH HIGH PRESSURE
02:43:31 BUTANE LIGHTERS THAT ARE POCKET SIZED THAT ARE DISPOSABLE
02:43:34 AND TAKE A ROUNDHOUSE KICK TO THE EASY ACCESS TO BUYING THESE
02:43:38 LETTERS TO FACILITATE OUTDOOR DRUG USE.
02:43:42 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
02:43:44 NEXT SPEAKER BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND MAYOR OFFICE OF
02:43:53 SAN FRANCISCO. THE TITLE OF MY SPEECH TODAY IS
02:43:57 THE WINNING. >> LAST WEEK I TALK ABOUT THE
02:44:00 TWO QUALITIES OF APEC'S LEADER .
02:44:03 >> THE FIRST IS FOLLOW THROUGH MENTALITY AS HIGHLIGHTED BY
02:44:07 ALEX HOMASI. AND THE SECOND IS TIMING.
02:44:11 SO I'M GOING TO TELL YOU A LITTLE STORY ABOUT TIMING.
02:44:15 IT COMES FROM ANDREW BASMATI CIA WHO'S COMING PUBLIC AS A
02:44:19 PODCASTER. AND BASICALLY WHAT HE'S TRYING
02:44:22 TO SAY IS MOST PEOPLE LINE UP A DOMINO TO KNOCK UP EACH ONE
02:44:26 NEEDS LIKE A TASK ONE AT A TIME.
02:44:29 BUT APEC'S LEADER SHOULD JUST LINE UP AND JUST FLICK THEM
02:44:36 AND IT GOES. EACH ONE ROLE BY ROLE.
02:44:39 SO THE THIRD WE'LL TALK ABOUT IS OWNERSHIP.
02:44:43 AND I'LL TELL YOU A STORY. I WORK IN SIX FLAGS MY FOURTH
02:44:47 YEAR I WAS ABLE TO DO KARAOKE. I WAS STILL OFF A POKER FACE.
02:44:54 YOU KNOW I MISS A FEW LYRICS AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT.
02:44:57 AND NEXT WEEK THEY NEVER CALL ME BACK FOR NEXT KARAOKE.
02:45:01 I FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHY ON YEARS I NEVER ASK.
02:45:05 I WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO ASK ME AND NEVER HAPPENED.
02:45:09 SO DARK ENDS HERE. SO I PUT THIS PICTURE RIGHT
02:45:13 HERE IT IS THIS OWNERSHIP RHT HERE.
02:45:16 THIS IS PICTURE RIGHT HERE. THIS BY FAR THE MOST
02:45:20 CONSEQUENTIAL PICTURE EVER SHOWN RIGHT HERE IS CHASE
02:45:24 CENTER. WE HOSTED THE GAME THE VAULT
02:45:28 GREEKS, THE GIRL ON THE LEFT. HER NAME'S JOJO.
02:45:32 SHE'S LEGALLY AMBASSADOR OF CHASE CENTER AND I'LL BE THE
02:45:36 LEAD BECAUSE I CAN SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN ENGLISH
02:45:40 IN CANTONESE HIGHFALUTIN HOME. SO THIS VALIDATES MY WORK
02:45:43 BECAUSE STEPH CURRY AND WARREN BUFFETT PUT $9 MILLION TO
02:45:50 GLIDE. I WILL CONTINUE MY WORK WITH
02:45:53 GLIDE MEMORIAL. >> THANK YOU.
02:45:54 THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> NEXT SPEAKER GOOD AFTERNOON
02:46:04 SUPERVISORS. MY NAME IS ANDY STONE AND I AM
02:46:08 WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO AIDS FOUNDATION AND THE HIV ADVOCACY
02:46:11 NETWORK. >> I WANTED TO GIVE PUBLIC
02:46:12 COMMENT IN SUPPORT OF AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 35 RECOGNIZING
02:46:15 NATIONAL PREP DAY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY VERY
02:46:19 BRIEFLY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO SUPERVISOR MANDEL MIN
02:46:23 SUPERVISOR DORSEY AND SUPERVISOR CHAN FOR REALLY
02:46:26 TAKING THE LEAD ON THIS PREP IS BEEN AN AMAZING USING AN
02:46:31 INCREDIBLE GAME CHANGER WHEN IT COMES TO HIV TRANSMISSION
02:46:34 AND HAS HELPED US TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PERCEIVE HOW WE CAN
02:46:39 END HIV TRANSMISSION AND BE ONE OF THE LEADING PLACES IN THIS
02:46:42 COUNTRY AND INDEED AROUND THE WORLD IN GETTING TO ZERO NEW
02:46:45 HIV TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE A SHORT STORY TO JUST
02:46:49 KIND OF ILLUSTRATE THE IMPACT THAT HIV HAS HAD ON MY LIFE,
02:46:53 PARTICULARLY IN THIS CITY AS IT RELATES TO BEING ABLE TO ACCESS
02:46:55 HIV PREVENTION. SO WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO SAN
02:46:58 FRANCISCO AFTER COMING OUT AS GAY I WAS SEARCHING FOR
02:47:02 ACCEPTANCE COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION.
02:47:05 WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS THE COST OF PROTECTING MY HEALTH.
02:47:09 MANY MEN I MET HERE ON PREP WERE ON PREP THE DAILY AT THAT
02:47:13 TIME THE DAILY PILL THAT PREVENTS HIV BUT MY HIGH
02:47:16 DEDUCTIBLE INSURANCE MEANT IT WOULD COST ME OVER $1,000 A
02:47:19 MONTH MORE THAN MY PAYCHECK AND I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY
02:47:23 HEALTH AND MY RENT. THANKFULLY CITY CLINIC
02:47:26 CONNECTED ME TO A PREP NAVIGATOR WHO HELPED ME ACCESS
02:47:28 A CO-PAY CARD. EVEN THEN IT WAS A
02:47:31 REIMBURSEMENT SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND I HAD TO SAVE
02:47:35 FOR TWO MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO AFFORD THE UPFRONT
02:47:38 COST. I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN A CITY
02:47:40 WITH RESOURCES TO HELP BUT NOT EVERYONE IS.
02:47:43 I'M ORIGINALLY FROM GEORGIA. I'VE LIVED IN MEXICO CITY FOR
02:47:47 MULTIPLE YEARS. I'VE WORKED WITH ACTIVISTS
02:47:51 AND FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ACROSS THE WORLD.
02:47:54 AND EVERY DAY PEOPLE COME TO ME MY AGE YOUNGER OR OLDER TELLING
02:47:58 ME HOW THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED BECAUSE THEIR LIVES
02:48:02 HAVE CHANGED BECAUSE THEY'VE CIRO CONVERTED AND THEY DIDN'T
02:48:05 HAVE ACCESS TO THE INCREDIBLE RESOURCES THAT WE DO IN SAN
02:48:09 FRANCISCO. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS
02:48:12 . NEXT SPEAKER.
02:48:16 >> GOOD AFTERNOON. A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
02:48:20 I'M WILLIAM DEAN ALSO I'M A MEMBER OF THE SAN FRANCISCO
02:48:23 AIDS FOUNDATION HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK.
02:48:27 AND MY CONCERN WITH YOU TODAY IS TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DECLARE
02:48:31 A RESOLUTION FOR NATIONAL PREP DAY OCTOBER 10TH, THIS COMING
02:48:39 FRIDAY. HAVING THIS RESOLUTION WILL
02:48:41 COMMUNICATE TO ALL DEPARTMENTS AND OUR MAYOR THAT NATIONAL
02:48:46 PREP DAY SERVICE IS A FORM OF EXPRESSION THAT WE AS A CITY
02:48:53 ARE MOVING TOWARDS ZERO HIV INFECTION.
02:48:57 HOW MUCH DOES IT MATTER FOR THIS BOARD TO PASS A
02:49:01 RESOLUTION, A NATIONAL PREP DAY RESOLUTION WILL MARK AN
02:49:05 OBSERVANCE THAT SIGNALS TO OUR COMMUNITY THE PROGRESS BEING
02:49:12 MADE IN THE DECREASE IN HIV DIAGNOSIS.
02:49:16 AS I SEE IT NATIONAL PREP DAY IS A RALLYING CRY FOR THE
02:49:21 DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC HEALTH, CITY CLINICS AND OTHER HEALTH
02:49:25 STAKEHOLDERS TO BE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK
02:49:32 TOWARDS ACCESS EQUITY AND EDUCATION BY THE USE OF
02:49:37 PREP. >> THANK YOU FOR LISTENING
02:49:40 AND I APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO.
02:49:43 >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. NEXT SPEAKER.
02:49:46 >> GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS. >> MY NAME IS ZANDER BRYER.
02:49:51 I'M THE FOUNDER OF COVE DIALYSIS LLC AND I SERVE AS THE
02:49:55 POLICY AND EDUCATION CO-CHAIR FOR THE HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK.
02:49:59 PREP HAS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED HIV PREVENTION, GIVING PEOPLE
02:50:02 GREATER AGENCY OVER THEIR SEXUAL HEALTH, MOVING US AWAY
02:50:06 FROM FEAR AND STIGMA TOWARDS EMPOWERMENT AND CHOICE.
02:50:10 >> THE PROGRESS HAPPENS BECAUSE COMMUNITY ORGANIZED AND SAN
02:50:14 FRANCISCO INVESTED INACCESSIBLE PREVENTION.
02:50:17 I SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED INVESTMENT ESPECIALLY
02:50:21 SUPERVISORS MANDOLIN DORSI AND CHEN.
02:50:24 >> BUT INEQUITY REMAINS IN BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES
02:50:28 AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN, SEX WORKERS,
02:50:32 THE TRANS AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING COMMUNITY
02:50:36 AND PEOPLE EXPERIENCING HOUSING INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO FACE
02:50:37 BARRIERS. WE MUST PROTECT PREP AND PREP
02:50:41 NAVIGATION SUPPORT INNOVATIONS LIKE LONG ACTING INJECTABLE
02:50:45 PREP AND REACH PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT.
02:50:48 >> PLEASE SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING OCTOBER
02:50:52 10TH AS NATIONAL PREP DAY. >> WE HAVE COME INCREDIBLY FAR.
02:50:57 >> PLEASE MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND.
02:51:00 >> SAN FRANCISCO HAS LONG BEEN A LEADER IN HIV PREVENTION
02:51:04 AND THAT LEADERSHIP HAS COME WITH A RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP
02:51:08 MOVING FORWARD. OUR PROGRESS SHOULD NOT BE
02:51:09 MEASURED ONLY BY HOW FAR WE'VE COME BUT BY WHETHER THE PEOPLE
02:51:15 FACING THE GREATEST BARRIERS CAN ACTUALLY ACCESS THE TOOLS
02:51:19 WE KNOW WORK. >> THIS IS PERSONAL FOR ME.
02:51:20 I DIRECTLY BENEFITED FROM ACCESS TO BOTH PREP AND PREP AS
02:51:24 WELL AS I WAS NAMED AFTER MY MOTHER'S BROTHER WHO DIED OF
02:51:27 AIDS RELATED ILLNESSES IN THE 80S.
02:51:31 I KNOW FIRSTHAND WHAT IT MEANS THAT THESE TOOLS AVAILABLE SAVE
02:51:35 LIVES. >> AS SOMEONE WHOSE WORK IS
02:51:39 ROOTED IN HARM REDUCTION AND COMMUNITY ADVOCACY, I WANT
02:51:40 EVERYONE TO HAVE ACCESS TO LIFE SAVING SUPPORT FOR WITHOUT
02:51:47 JUDGMENT, STIGMA OR UNNECESSARY BARRIERS.
02:51:51 >> THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY MUCH.
02:51:52 THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> NEXT SPEAKER LOW.
02:51:58 GOOD AFTERNOON. BOARD OF SUPERVISORS.
02:52:02 MY NAME IS TERRY MILLER AND I'M ALSO WITH HORNE HIV ADVOCACY
02:52:06 NETWORK AND I'M SO PLEASED THAT THIS HAS BEEN CONSIDERED.
02:52:10 WHEN I FIRST CAME TO SAN FRANCISCO ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO,
02:52:13 IT WAS DURING A PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH I WAS LOSING ALL MY
02:52:17 FRIENDS COMMUNITY JUST EVAPORATING.
02:52:20 >> AND THIS CITY WAS JUST AN INCREDIBLE PLACE.
02:52:24 WE HAD SO MUCH SUPPORT IN THE CITY AND EMPOWERMENT THAT I'M
02:52:28 REALLY PLEASED THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING DOING A PREP DAY
02:52:32 BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE
02:52:33 THAT I COME FROM RURAL COMMUNITIES AND MIDDLE AMERICA
02:52:37 AND I KNOW THAT SAN FRANCISCO IS A BEACON TO SO MANY OTHER
02:52:40 COMMUNITIES IN PARTS OF THE OF THE COUNTRY.
02:52:44 IT MATTERS NOT JUST WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE BUT IT MATTERS IN A
02:52:47 LOT OF OTHER PLACES. >> I KNOW THAT HAVING COME FROM
02:52:51 THOSE COMMUNITIES I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK
02:52:56 THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE A DAY THAT OR A
02:52:59 PIVOTAL MOMENT WHEN HIV WAS NO LONGER A MATTER OF WHEN FOR FOR
02:53:10 MANY PEOPLE BUT AVOIDABLE. AND SO I VERY MUCH HOPE YOU
02:53:17 GUYS WILL PASS THIS AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
02:53:20 >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER.
02:53:24 GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS OF THE BOARD.
02:53:25 MY NAME IS ADAM BROKAW AND I'M A RESIDENT OF D5, A MEMBER OF
02:53:29 THE HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK, THE HARVEY MILK DEMOCRATIC CLUB
02:53:33 IN THE USF CHURCH. I'M HERE TODAY TO URGE THE
02:53:36 BOARD TO PASS A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING OCTOBER 10TH AS
02:53:39 NATIONAL PREP DAY. SAN FRANCISCO HAS MADE
02:53:41 TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HIV AND AIDS.
02:53:43 SOME COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE STILL LEFT BEHIND THOUGH,
02:53:46 INCLUDING BIPOC GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN, PEOPLE WHO
02:53:47 ARE TRANSGENDER OR IMMIGRANTS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED.
02:53:52 FOR US TO ENSURE THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE INCLUDED IN OUR
02:53:55 EFFORTS TO PREVENT HIV AND AIDS TO HELP THE CITY IN REACHING
02:53:59 OUR GOAL OF GETTING TO ZERO, WE NEED TO CONTINUE FUNDING PREP
02:54:00 SERVICES THROUGHOUT OUR SYSTEMS OF CARE.
02:54:03 THIS RESOLUTION HELPS THAT GOAL BY AFFIRMING THE CITY'S
02:54:07 COMMITMENT TO ITS COMMUNITIES AND PUBLIC HEALTH.
02:54:08 >> AS A FORMER PREP COUNSELOR AND CASE MANAGER MYSELF, I CAN
02:54:11 TELL YOU THE SAFETY AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF PREP HAS DELIVERED
02:54:14 TO MY FORMER CLIENTS AND TO THE WIDER COMMUNITIES THEY BELONG
02:54:18 TO ALL BY JUST A PILL OR INJECTION THAT HAS A 99% CHANCE
02:54:21 OF PREVENTING HIV. PREP IS LIFE SAVING HEALTH CARE
02:54:25 FROM THE AND TRANS YOUTH ACCESSING SERVICES TO PEOPLE
02:54:29 GOING TO THEIR DOCTOR OR COMMUNITY CLINIC.
02:54:30 FOR THOSE WITH MEANS AND FOR THOSE WITHOUT PREP IS A
02:54:33 UNIVERSAL FRIEND TO ALL AND WE MUST COMMIT TO POLICIES THAT
02:54:37 REFLECT THAT TRUTH. >> EACH POTENTIAL HIV
02:54:40 TRANSMISSION PREVENTED BY PREP IS A POLICY AND PUBLIC HEALTH
02:54:41 SUCCESS BY THE CITY. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD PLEASE
02:54:45 VOTE FOR THE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE OCTOBER 10TH AS

02:55:09 IMPORTANT ISSUE. DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS
02:55:13 REALLY HELPS TALK ABOUT PREP MORE RIGHT AND BREAK THE STIGMA
02:55:14 AROUND WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOPE.
02:55:17 I HOPE THAT IN EVERYONE'S DISTRICTS THERE ARE MORE
02:55:21 CONVERSATIONS AROUND WHAT PREP CAN DO FOR ANYONE REGARDLESS OF
02:55:24 GENDER IDENTITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND ALL OF THOSE
02:55:26 THINGS. I'M GOING TO ZERO.
02:55:29 WE ARE SO CLOSE HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND I'M GLAD WE ARE
02:55:31 HONORING ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR HARM REDUCTION TOOLS
02:55:33 OUT THERE. >> PREP THANK YOU SO MUCH.

02:57:48 MR. RIGHT. WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER.
02:57:51 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF
02:57:54 SUPERVISORS OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DINNER PUBLIC AFTERNOON.
02:57:58 THIS IS MY FIGHT MY FIFTH APPEARANCE IN THE BUILDING.
02:58:02 THE FIRST TWO REFERENCES I CAME TO CREATE AN AWARENESS ABOUT A
02:58:04 CASE OF A VETERAN IS TALKING TO HALF OF THE POLICE.
02:58:07 THE LAST TIME I CAME OVER HERE I KIND OF SUGGESTED THE KIND OF
02:58:10 WISHFUL WHAT I SUGGESTED THAT THE COMMITTEE OWNED AND OR
02:58:14 NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES SHED BY THIS PROVISO.
02:58:18 I DON'T THINK I INVITE A VICE CHAIR BY THE SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD
02:58:25 DI TO MAKE SENSE A KIND OF COY KIND OF TO PUBLIC HEARING TO
02:58:29 HAVE THE POLICE, THE DP AND POLICE COMMISSIONER IN THE
02:58:32 BUILDING. I KIND OF CONFIRM FROM THEM
02:58:33 WHAT HAPPENED, WOLF, WITH THE CASE BECAUSE IF I HAD THE CASE
02:58:38 AND THE POLICE IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE DP IS NOT
02:58:41 PREVENTING THE HOMICIDES, THE POLICE COMMISSIONER DIRECTING
02:58:43 THE BAR TO THE DP AND THE DP. IT DOESN'T HAVE A SOLUTION.
02:58:45 I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A GRIDLOCK AND THE NEIGHBORHOOD
02:58:49 SERVICES COMMITTEE CAN CAN HANDLE THAT.
02:58:52 SO WE NEED TO CONFIRM FROM THEM WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT TRANSPIRED,
02:58:54 WHY IT WAS INVESTIGATED AND HOW WE CAN ACTUALLY RESOLVE BECAUSE
02:59:00 IF THIS CASE DOESN'T GET RESOLVED SOMEBODY HAS MY B.A.
02:59:04 IN HAND OF SEARCH CASE AND THEY MIGHT BE IN LIMBO AS WELL.
02:59:08 I'VE BEEN TO OFFICES ALREADY AND I'VE SENT A DIRECT EMAIL.
02:59:12 YOU HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION CONCERNING MY CASE.
02:59:16 I WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOUR OFFICES TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE
02:59:20 THE PROPER MEETING AND SEE IF WE CAN SET UP THE PUBLIC
02:59:23 HEARING. >> THAT'S WHAT THEY ASK.
02:59:24 LET US DO OUR DUTY AND LET'S SEE IF WE CAN RESOLVE THIS
02:59:27 ISSUE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY AFTER THE MAYOR OR THE
02:59:31 BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE PREREQUISITE UNDER PA TOO HOT
02:59:35 TO RAISE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED.
02:59:38 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
02:59:41 WELCOME TO THE NEXT SPEAKER. >> ON SEPTEMBER 22ND I STOOD
02:59:48 HERE AND MENTIONED THAT ON TROPIC HAD ANNOUNCED A NEW WET
02:59:52 LAB TO USE AIR TO RUN MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS.
02:59:56 >> THE NEXT DAY AND TROPIC RELEASED AN ANNOUNCEMENT QUOTE
02:59:59 THIS IS THE FIRST RESULT FROM OUR NEW MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LAB
03:00:04 UNQUOTE. THEY DECIDED TO BE A BIT MORE
03:00:05 HONEST AND TROPIC HAS AN AI BIO LAB OPERATING IN SAN FRANCISCO
03:00:11 THE SAME DAY. DARIO AMADI, CEO RELEASED THE
03:00:15 FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT QUOTE TODAY WE ANNOUNCED THE QUAD LED
03:00:19 DISCOVERY OF A MOLECULAR MACHINE THAT WE SUSPECT COULD
03:00:20 REPRESENT A NEW GENE EDITING MECHANISM.
03:00:23 >> HERE'S ANOTHER EXCERPT QUOTE EVENTUALLY IT MAY EVEN BE
03:00:27 POSSIBLE FOR CLOT ITSELF TO SAFELY PERFORM THE EXPERIMENTS
03:00:31 BY AUTONOMOUSLY CONTROLLING LAB EQUIPMENT UNQUOTE.
03:00:34 >> AND TROPIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AT LEAST NINE AUTONOMOUS
03:00:38 CYBER FELONIES AND THEY WANT THEIR EYES TO AUTONOMOUSLY RUN
03:00:42 A.I. MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO.
03:00:46 YOU SHOULD TALK TO THEM. >> YOU ALL SHOULD TALK TO THEM.
03:00:50 ON SEPTEMBER 26TH, AXIOS RELEASED AN ARTICLE.
03:00:53 I'M GOING TO PUT THIS ON OVER RIGHT HERE.
03:00:54 WE'VE GOT THAT ON THE OVERHEAD. YEAH.
03:00:58 SO IN THE UNDER THE HEADLINE IT'S SOMEWHERE IT SAYS QUOTE
03:01:05 OPENAI AND TROPIC AND SECURITY RESEARCHERS ARE INVESTIGATING
03:01:08 TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS IN WHICH THEIR FRONTIER MODELS
03:01:13 TOOK STEPS THAT OUTSIDE EVALUATORS WOULD CONSIDER
03:01:16 PROBLEMATIC. SOURCES TOLD AXIOS END QUOTE.
03:01:20 MORE THAN ONE WEEK LATER THE DETAILS HAVE YET TO BE
03:01:21 RELEASED. IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY OF THESE
03:01:24 INCIDENTS WERE BENIGN AND HOW MANY WERE CRIMINAL?
03:01:25 TENS OF THOUSANDS TO 20,000. THE MINIMUM 1% WOULD MEAN 200
03:01:31 ADDITIONAL FELONIES HAVE YET TO BE DISCLOSED.
03:01:32 THAT IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE.
03:01:35 THIS HAS BECOME EXPONENTIAL. PURSUANT TO RULE 2.4 THE RULES
03:01:39 OF ORDER ALL I CAN RECOMMEND IS THE BOARD PASS AN EMERGENCY
03:01:42 ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT FURTHER FRONTIER AIR DEVELOPMENT.
03:01:47 >> BUT THIS THIS IS USELESS. >> WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT,
03:01:51 MAN? I MEAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR

03:03:09 NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. IT'S ALSO GOT SOME OF OUR
03:03:12 SERVICES UPDATED AS WELL AS OUR FLOCK CAMERA CONTRACT.
03:03:19 >> I'M URGING EVERYBODY TO PLEASE MEET WITH SOME OF OUR
03:03:21 STAKEHOLDER CREWS AND EXPLAIN SOME OF THE CONTRACT IN PLAIN
03:03:25 LANGUAGE I'M ALSO URGING PEOPLE TO MEET WITH STAKEHOLDERS SO
03:03:31 THAT WE CAN GET FREE PUBLIC ACCESS TO CHANNELS WHERE WE CAN
03:03:35 ACTUALLY WATCH THE GOVERNMENT UPDATES BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW
03:03:39 ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT A LOT OF MY FRIENDS INCLUDING SENIORS HAD
03:03:42 HARD TIME ACCESS SEEING THE DEBATES ON CNN BECAUSE I DON'T
03:03:47 HAVE PAID CHANNELS. SO IF WE COULD PLEASE MEET WITH
03:03:51 STAKEHOLDERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT WOULD ALSO BE GREAT.
03:03:55 >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
03:03:58 WELCOME MOTO. >> MR. PRESIDENT, MADAM CLERK
03:04:03 REPORT OF SUPERVISORS. SOMEONE CAME UP AND COMPLAINED
03:04:10 ABOUT RENT STABILIZATION AND YOU KNOW I THINK THERE'S
03:04:14 PROBABLY 200,000 PEOPLE IN THE CITY THAT ARE BEING STABILIZED
03:04:17 IN THEIR HOUSING BECAUSE WE HAVE RENT STABILIZATION.
03:04:18 I, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IF I, I IMAGINE THERE YOU COULD GO TOO
03:04:25 FAR WITH IT BUT I THINK WE'RE HITTING APPROXIMATELY THE RIGHT
03:04:27 POINT. I DON'T THINK OUR RENTERS HAVE
03:04:30 ENOUGH PROTECTIONS REALLY. >> THANK YOU.
03:04:33 THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME.
03:04:37 THANK YOU. IT'S REALLY AMAZING THAT WHEN
03:04:41 THE 56 FOUNDING FATHERS SIGNED THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE
03:04:45 IN 1776 THAT IT FULFILLED A PROPHECY IN DANIEL CHAPTER
03:04:49 EIGHT IN REGARDS TO 2300 DAYS. SOMETIMES WE INTERPRET
03:04:52 PROPHECIES A DAY EQUALS A YEAR SO IT WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY 2300
03:04:58 YEARS AND THEN IT SAYS THE SANCTUARY WILL BE CLEANSED.
03:05:02 WHAT A STRANGE PROPHECY IS THAT.
03:05:03 NOW THE SANCTUARY WAS CLEANSED WHEN THE BABYLONIANS CAME
03:05:06 AND DESTROYED SOLOMON'S TEMPLE. IT WAS BURNED WITH FIRE 2300
03:05:12 YEARS LATER WAS 1776. I WILL NOW PROVE THIS
03:05:17 ASSERTION. WE HAVE TO ARRANGE CHRONOLOGY
03:05:19 BY THE YEAR JOHN BAPTIZED JESUS .
03:05:24 THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO DO. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN HE WAS BORN
03:05:25 SO LET'S GO WITH YOU KNOW WHEN HE WAS BAPTIZED.
03:05:30 THAT WAS THE 15TH YEAR OF TIBERIUS CAESAR.
03:05:31 THAT'S 28 ON OUR CALENDAR. GOT THAT 28 ON OUR CALENDAR.
03:05:37 THERE'S A PROPHECY IN DANIEL THAT SAID THERE WOULD BE 77
03:05:40 YEAR CYCLES UNTIL CHRIST WOULD COME AND BE CUT OFF BUT NOT FOR
03:05:44 HIMSELF. >> BUT IT'S AS IN 69 OF THOSE
03:05:47 SEVEN YEAR CYCLES WHICH WOULD BE 483 YEARS CHRIST WOULD BE
03:05:51 BAPTIZED OR ANOINTED SOON AFTER HE WAS ANOINTED.
03:05:54 THAT'S LUKE THREE LUKE CHAPTER FOUR HE GOES IN TO THE
03:05:58 SYNAGOGUE, UNROLLS A SCROLL OF ISAIAH WHERE IT SAYS HE WAS
03:06:02 ANOINTED EMPHASIZING THAT IT WAS NOW AT THE END OF THE 69TH
03:06:07 SEVEN YEAR CYCLE FROM THE COMMAND BY CYRUS.
03:06:11 >> SO WE HAVE TO BACK UP 70 YEARS RIGHT TO KNOW WHEN THE
03:06:15 TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED. SO 483 PLUS 70 IS 553 YEARS TO
03:06:21 WHEN HE WAS ANOINTED DO THE MATH LAST TIME I CHECKED 1747
03:06:27 MORE YEARS WOULD BRING US TO 2300 YEARS THAT WOULD BE 1775
03:06:33 AND PART OF 1776. I REST MY CASE AND NONE OF
03:06:37 THESE GUYS KNEW IT BECAUSE IF THEY DID KNOW IT THEY CERTAINLY
03:06:41 SAY THANK YOU. >> MARK ROSSI, THANK YOU FOR
03:06:45 YOUR COMMENTS. MARK, YOU KNOW THE RULES.
03:06:48 >> YOUR TWO MINUTES IS UP. THANK YOU.
03:06:51 >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO
03:06:52 ADDRESS THE BOARD DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT?
03:06:55 ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE IN PERSON LET'S GO
03:06:58 TO THE FIRST CALLER REMOTELY. WELCOME COLORS.
03:07:06 HELLO MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS TODD.
03:07:07 I'VE WORKED FOR THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO
03:07:10 SINCE 2014 AND IN THE CITY CIVIL SERVICE RIGHT.
03:07:13 >> CIVIL RIGHTS RATHER CONTRACT COMPLIANCE OFFICER 2019 I'M
03:07:18 NEURODIVERGENT I HAVE A MEDICAL CONDITION THAT LIMITS MY
03:07:21 PHYSICAL CAPABILITIES AND I HOPE SINCERELY HELD RELIGIOUS
03:07:25 BELIEFS. I'M A CHRISTIAN.
03:07:26 I'M HERE BECAUSE WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO ME RAISES SERIOUS
03:07:30 QUESTIONS ABOUT HOW TO TREAT EMPLOYEES WHO SEEK DISABILITY
03:07:33 AND RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATIONS. ON AUGUST 13TH I SUBMITTED A
03:07:37 WRITTEN RELIGIOUS ACCOMMODATION REQUEST THAT DID NOT PREVENT ME
03:07:40 FROM PERFORMING MY JOB. EIGHT DAYS LATER WITHOUT BEING
03:07:43 PROVIDED A CLEAR FACTUAL BASIS ,I WAS PLACED ON PAID
03:07:46 ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE AND DIRECTED TO UNDERGO A
03:07:50 PSYCHOLOGICAL FITNESS FOR DUTY EXAM.
03:07:51 I WILL THEN PROHIBITED FROM ENTERING MY WORKPLACE WHILE

03:08:03 FOR MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS ON AUGUST 28TH MY POSITION ALSO
03:08:06 PROVIDED UPDATED MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION SUPPORTING A SIX
03:08:10 MONTH ADA ACCOMMODATION. I REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT DELAYS
03:08:14 IN PROCESSING THAT REQUEST. I HAVE ALREADY EXPRESSED
03:08:18 CONCERNS TO THE MTA BOARD. I'M NOT ASKING THE BOARD OF
03:08:21 SUPERVISORS TO DECIDE MY EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE.
03:08:22 I'M ASKING YOU TO EXAMINE SOMETHING LARGER.
03:08:25 HOW DOES AN EMPLOYEE GO FROM REQUESTING AN ACCOMMODATION TO
03:08:28 BEING REMOVED FROM THE WORKPLACE AND REFERRED FOR
03:08:31 PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION WITHIN DATE?
03:08:35 I'VE SPENT YEARS ADVOCATING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES
03:08:36 IN OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUPS. IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO SOMEONE
03:08:40 WHO KNOWS HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR HIMSELF WHAT HAPPENS TO
03:08:44 EMPLOYEES WHO DO NOT? I RESPECTFULLY ASK THIS BOARD
03:08:47 TO LOOK INTO WHETHER MY EXPERIENCE REVEALS A BROADER
03:08:49 PROBLEM WITH HOW ETHICS MTA HANDLES EMPLOYEES WHO EXERCISE
03:08:52 THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS. THANK YOU.
03:08:55 THANK YOU TODD FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
