Immigrants and limited english populations so i really thank the Language Access network and supervisor yee for moving forward thank you supervisor mar and supervisor cohen. Thank you very much supervisor yee and i also want to acknowledge the staff jan leo for the work i was wondering if theres a representative from occ here today. Definitely not ive been supportive of language assess and taking taken a vote in the past my comments are not critical of pretending Language Access but only questions of evaluation of the Pilot Program im curious of the tools to evaluate and who is which entity going to be evaluating the Pilots Program through the chair to sdmooe im going im not sure i have the answers fully backside but ill be interested in the other fact the office of Civic Engagement is one i use often when it comes to interpretation for the neighborhood members of the committee so i know how theyre very stressed in that capacity so im wondering because i didnt hear in committee and there is not one here today ill entertain a conversation how if theres able to actually perform and execute the Pilot Program to insure that will be successful and to make sure they have the resources staffing budget Equipment Technology i dont know if we need prescriptions to different Translation Software to help to execute the Pilot Program to provide a seamless opportunity for a hundred percent engagement and the other thing what happens if were here and have folks ready to go in terms of translation but no displaced how do we account for this im not longing to allows or lose precious resources so this really stems to my original question how to evaluate the Pilot Program and will there be an opportunity to get february from our end users the people that are coming to utilize the service is there ways to strengthen all four through the chair thank you. Thank you supervisor cohen. Supervisor campos. Thank you madam president colleagues ill respectfully schizophrenia we resend this item to vote for it my apologies. Supervisor campos has made a motion to resend the vote on the amendment is there a second sejtd by supervisor cowen colleagues, can we resend this well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. The vote has been rescinded and supervisor yee would you like to make the motion again. Yes. On the amendment. Like to make the motion to amend the legislation. So supervisor yee has made a motion to amend the motion and seconded by supervisor mar and colleagues can we take that without objection . Without objection the amendment passes supervisor yee. There the president i guess the highlevel sort of we are for the purpose of the evaluation was to make sure that whatever i mean we put affordability a fungal and doable so it is not in stone but wait for a year to see what happens we anticipate in needing more resources but would that anticipation be the right anticipation and not for instance, it took while to get it we talked about staffing a lot because there were other supervisor tangs ordinance also requires some staffing so it was a combination of those two things where we were working in the average office that office to figure out what would be appropriate and so in the budget process that just been taking place we added some fund or the mayor added funding to that office to have more staffer members to hopefully not to cover what is required in to ordinance but supervisor tangs ordinance in the no demand piece you pointed out thats a good question i suggested that the model by the used for the given by the School District that is prettypretty successful but they do they come the translators come at the beginning of the meeting and make their announcements in the appropriate language just to say you need us to translate or interpret please let us know we have translators and wait around for a while and at some point some of the people are a member it to could be of mowers o hours they are not going to stick around for 6 hours that would be the model as whats needed so thats why it is a pilot so if that models works well here. Thank you very much supervisor yee. On item number 46 as amended colleagues can we take that without objection . Same house, same call . Well take that without objection.

Colleagues today, i have one item so people in San Francisco across the state and country have easy access to guns and ammunitions it is for violence 40 in San Francisco and even though San Francisco and california have some of the toughing gun laws we can still do more gaps in the federal and state Regulatory Oversight on gun and ammunition sales ive requested the City Attorney draft legislation that requires the videotaping of an outline all guns and ammunition sales the electronic transmission be transferred to the Police Department this will fill the gaps at the federal and state levels to keep the neighborhoods save i believe we need to do everything to aid Law Enforcement if their investigations to keep the communities save first portion requires the videotaping of all ammunition sales within San Francisco the videotaping will apply to other critical areas of the premises by evidence where all firms are sold or transferred or carried by evidence industry ways and parking lot no California Law requires the requirements only Business Hours or ammunition sales to provide cameras simply having the videotape will deter people and give the Law Enforcement from any individual that buys a gun might be able to track a gun purchase if uses in a shooting current the bureau of alcohol and tobacco and firearms didnt have the resources to check the firearms and dealerships that are licensed across the city i want to give San Francisco to track down videotaping of arms theyre under staffs theyre lucky to do one check of dealers a year Washington Post investigation of 2010 as a result of inadequate staffing atf were not able to internet them the pawnbrokers railroad associated with the largest number of trafficking of guns including included the probability access to large numbers of firearms makes them a threat to Public Safety this legislation will insure we have evidence all the time for the local Law Enforcement second portion of the legislation requires the electronic transmission of sales data and transfers of the Police Department our Police Department would be responsible for crafting of the forms they want to submit more than a dozen jurisdictions in california have adapted ordinances requiring ammunition sales in california San Francisco doesnt have this ordinance ordinances have Great Success in identifying people that possess ammunition and there was a routine inspection that provides Law Enforcement with an opportunity to have checks of improper records if they dont match their sales records again wooekz to give the Law Enforcement the tools to prevent the illegal sales our City Attorney has been drafting that i want to thank them for their efforts this is to make sure that the dealers in San Francisco will not be detrimental to the Public Safety and to track the ammunition and prevalent the loss of firearms and preventive to protect sales to people who are not allot to have firearms i do believe this helps to deter people and stop them from getting guns and ammunition that are legally and the the rest i submit.
