Enactment #:
Title:
Pursuant to Charter, Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code, Section 2.11, the Mayor
shall answer the following eligible question submitted from the Supervisor representing District 5. The
Mayor may address the Board initially for up to five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes
per Supervisor.
1. Mr. Mayor: As budget season approaches we are all formulating our budget priorities. There are
two pieces of legislation making their way through the Board of Supervisors which will be critical to
this year’s budget: an ordinance increasing the hourly rate in the Minimum Compensation Ordinance
and an ordinance Supervisor Sheehy and I introduced providing for full scope legal representation to
tenants facing eviction. Both of these pieces of legislation serve many of the same policy goals of
supporting some of our residents who have the fewest resources to remain here in San Francisco.
In January I began discussing a proposal with labor organizations and other stakeholders to fund a
portion of the wage increase called for in the proposed amendments to the Minimum Compensation
Ordinance of at least an additional 50 cents above the minimum wage effective July 1, 2018, and
phasing in the remainder of the proposed wage increase with new revenue sources in the coming
year. At the same time we began finalizing the costs of providing full scope legal representation to
tenants facing eviction.
Will you commit to continuing these efforts and fund at least a 50 cent increase above the minimum
wage in the hourly rate for workers covered by the Minimum Compensation Ordinance effective July
1, 2018 (estimated at $14 million) and at least half of the estimated cost to implement full scope legal
representation for tenants facing eviction in our city (estimated at $4.29 million) in your proposed
budget for fiscal year 2018-2019?
