Where you run into complications when you have a onetime trip or theres something over a border that doesnt service a consumer and i wonder how you resolve issues like that if it just crosses the border . Oh, yeah, good question, thank you. The Paratransit Program is required to provide service that complements the muni service and so the and thats under the a. D. A. Requirements and guidelines and so Paratransit Service goes generally threequarters of a mile around where muni goes, and the muni lines and the muni service and if a person that has a trip that is outside of that they can take their paratransit to wherever the end of the end of that border is, that service area, and then i would suggest they could continue on, but then theyd be responsible for paying for that portion of the trip. Yeah, i think that is an interesting point because it also eats up a lot of time and paratransit has a specific schedule theyre bound to by routes and those things dont always match up so thinking about consumers with disabilities and maybe physical disabilities as well and vision issues and fatigue and any other things that might come up, i think that theyre doing their best to kind of figure out the solution to get to where they need to go but i know that its not a perfect system, just when we think about real life situations and then these boundaries that make impacts individuals situations and maybe something to think about and maybe not to be addressed now but to consider in the future. Okay, thank you. Thank you, Council Members for your questions and ill open it up to staff at this point. Thank you very much, kate, and to kristin for being here. Actually i have a question for cristip, ikristin, is she still . Hello. And when speaking in preparation for the anticipated Comment Period to the cpuc, we had had mentioned a few weeks back that we wanted to try to coordinate some different efforts and get maybe some sample language out for folks that would help with providing comments, assuming that the council is wanting to move forward with assisting with comments. Can you talk for a minute about where we are with that or the best way to move forward with providing comments when were ready . Yes. So weve been talking internally because we were at this odd in this odd position where the cpuc hasnt set a deadline for that particular track of their rulemaking yet so i think were still a little bit nervous that if people start submitting comments now that they might not be considered, so we will though as soon as they set a date, sort of mobilize those activities that we talked about and wed love to have the m. D. C. Participate in getting the word out about commenting, if possible. So thats when we would start distributing any language and sample letters or postcards that people could submit for people to submit their experiences with accessibility issue with the t. N. C. S. Thank you, is there a general time frame for a Comment Period . It varies and theres 34 sets of comments and reply comments as part of this rulemaking so its going on for quite some time and it varies in terms of getting notice when the comments are due. But id anticipate that wed have a good amount of time to, you know, before the cpuc gives the deadline and because in this current rulemaking there are multiple tracks and the accessibility track is number five and theyre still working on the earlier tracks. Thank you very much. Thank you for notifying me. And well open up to comments. Theres someone on the bridge line and my apologies, we had technical difficulties. Sorry bridge line holder, thank you. Go ahead. Go ahead. Can you hear me . I cant. We cannot hear you at this time due to technical difficulties. We have some speakers here for Public Comment. First one . Well, we have mr. Lanholt, but can this gentleman go first . Im howard shapner. And two quick comments about this. Number one, chariot is owned by ford and i have written to ford several times about chariots lack of access and didnt really get a response, and i understand that very recently that chariot settled a complaint by the u. S. Justice department, and its disappointing that m. T. A. Would have partnered with ford on the go bikes, they should have done their Due Diligence and recognized that ford owned chariot and that chariot was not providing Wheelchair Accessible service and the analogy is that i think that it was back in the 1990s that s. F. O. Required airlines and other partners that were using s. F. O. To provide partner benefits which is the right thing to do and they basically said that were not going to do business with you people and let you land unless you do that. Even though that was beyond what the law really required. So i really hope that, you know, m. T. A. Or any other city agency would not partner with someone that is that owns a company that is basically discriminating against people with disabilities. Thats number one. And the second comment has to do with the hop on hop off buses and other privately operated tourist type buses. I have written to several of those, and probably half of them are not accessible. And, you know, i have written to m. P. A. And so forth and basically been told and i think to m. O. D. A while ago that, you know, s. F. Has no jurisdiction and thats california p. U. C. , well, again, as the San Francisco allows those buses to park, in fact, gives them designated Parking Spaces and theres other forms of leverage they have. And so even though there may be gaps and there are gaps i believe in the a. D. A. , in terms of the coverage of those type of buses, i think that, again, that San Francisco has some practical effective leverage in making those companies go beyond what the law may require and, certainly, if its a gray area, interpreting the gray area to provide more access, rather than less. Thank you. Thank you. Im bob planholt and i want to point out two areas where the Public Utilities commission is oblivious or neglects to respond to disability access, even when prodded by advocates and first when years ago we pointed out that these t. N. C. S didnt have vehicles that accommodated anybody and everybody, cpuc said, so the t. N. C. S now have to keep track of all of those people who call in saying, i need an accessible vehicle. And right away you say, if you know that they dont have accessible vehicles, why are you going to call in . The cpuc set up a survey counting system guaranteed to have low numbers and not measure the demand. That was just so grade school obvious. But, secondly, and this goes beyond the cpuc, these t. N. C. S are public accommodations and yet they failed to provide what is required of a public accommodation. Public accommodations are supposed to be available to all. If you dont have a smartphone you cant use your home phone to dial or touchtone phone you cant contact them to make a reservation and even a simple regular cellphone, its not smart enabled, you cant get their service. You cant write a cheque, you cant pay with cash, and theres a variety of barriers that t. N. C. S have that say theyre not fulfilling this and cpuc ignores this. But im going to say so does our City Attorney. City Attorney Says they cant sue cpuc for failure to enforce, but theyre ignoring they can sue the t. N. C. S for violating the public accommodation requirements. So even within the city we have people shying away from and sticking their head in the sand, avoiding, responding to disability access. And im going to be very direct because the cit City Attorney hs sued agencies on behalf of other disenfranchised and discriminated communities but theres a real low number, almost a silence, regarding continued advocacy through legal complaints and suits on behalf of people with disabilities that is not arising from our City Attorney. Another issue that maybe the council can take up. bell ringing . Thank you. Were going to go ahead and close Public Comments and go on to information item number 10. Vision zero. San francisco and people with disabilities and id like to thank our presenter for waiting and welcome megan l. Weir, d. P. A. Director and program on Health Equity and sustainability, cochair of San FranciscoVision Zero Task force. Thank you for being here today. Good afternoon, council, and thank you so much for the opportunity to be here to share more about vision zero and thank you to nicole for the invitation and i hope that this is the first of a longer discussion with respect to how vision zero can increase our engagement and address issues of concern with respect to Traffic Safety for people with disabilities. Again, im megan weir and im the cochair and i also work for the Public Health department. So traffic injury has and is a real problem in San Francisco with respect to Public Health. Recently weve had approximately 30 People Killed each year on our streets and another approximately 500 people hospitalized with severe injuries at our public hospital, zuckerburg San FranciscoGeneral Hospital. We estimated that approximately 35 million in medical costs alone per year and our city surgeons respond to a serious traffic injury approximately every 17 hours. We are working closely with the hospital as a part of vision zero and rebecca plevin, a doctor at the hospital, i invited her to come today to just, again, this is an important issue and to better understand the concerns specifically of the Disability Community. Half of the patients at our Trauma Center are people injured in traffic collisions and in doing this work and thinking of being here today, from vision zero is fundamentally focused on eliminating traffic deaths and prevention but we also know that many people sustain lifelong disabilities in traffic injuries so, again, this is a really important area for discussion. Nationally we know sure okay, okay, im sorry. Nationally we know that traffic fatalities are actually increasing, so while in San Francisco we havent seen the same increases and nationally weve had 14 increase in traffic deaths in recent years and this is primarily driven by increases in deaths of people walking or rolling, biking and on motorcycles. Vision zero was launched in 2014, and its led by our mayor, with the leadership from our board of supervisors and also with Strong Partnership by the city family as well as our Community Stakeholders and we released our second tier Action Strategy earlier this year and vision zero really focuses on creating safe streets, safe people, and safe vehicles and im going to share a little bit more about that. Sorry, im like i apologize for my lack of sincei coordinath my slides and talking. They focus on prevention and preventing severe and fatal injuries and saving lives and on addressing ecowa equity and focg on reducing fatalities and it leads with designs and creating safe people and safe vehicles and so education and enforcement and education and policy are all important pieces of creating the safer streets. And vision zero is fundamentally focusing on slowing speeds down on our streets because speed is a predictor of whether or not people are injured and killed. And its a shift in Traffic Safety. San francisco was a the second city to adapt vision zero in our country but now theres more than 20 cities in the United States who have adopted vision zero and as opposed to previous Traffic Safety paradigms which have really focused on individual responsibility, vision zero as i think that janice articulated earlier, focuses on creating a safer system. So we need to anticipate human error and accidents and our accidents are not accidents, theyre preventable, and we need to anticipate that people will make mistakes and that we need a system where the consequence of a mistake isnt a death. Equity is a core vision of vision zero and so its not just a social or moral issue but a Traffic Safety issue and understanding that we really need to consider equity as we design safer streets and that means prioritizing our most vulnerable populations, including the Disability Community. And our core group took the time to define equity so its, you know, its increasingly common term used with respect to policy and planning and Program Decisions but we need to all be on the same page about what were talking about. So with respect to vision zero we defined inequities and severe injuries as avoidable disparities and injuries that are from unfair differences and social and economic and environmental and political conditions. With respect to the communities that were focusing on that experience or are at risk for inequities and they include seniors, people with disability, youth, lowincome people of color, and immigrants, nonenglish speaking people or marginally housed residents and people walking and biking and as well as people motorcycling. Our fourth year on vision zero were focusing on deepening our work on equity so that means increasing engagement with vulnerable communities and thats an important reason that im here today and also maintaining and expanding our data systems that can inform the targeted investments and monitoring impacts and im excited to share the developments with respect to understanding disability and traffic injuries in San Francisco and implementing targeted initiatives informed by this data. And im now focused on some of our current efforts on vision zero, i cochaired the Citywide Task force and we meet quarterly here in the city hall and its comprised of both city agencies and Community Stakeholders and i cochair with the municipal transportation agency, mta and we have partnership with our Police Department and the public works and the Transportation Authority and a number of other city agencies as well as rock San Francisco and the Bicycle Coalition and senior and disability action, bob planholt is a frequent participant and many people in the room are there on a regular basis and i invite you all to attend if youre ever interested and we also have a mailing list that id be happy to add people to if interested. And the mayors opposite of disability is an active member of the task force and their work on this, of course, even predates the adoption of vision zero and prior we had a Pedestrian Safety task force which the Mayors Office on disability was a key member. And San Francisco department of Public Health, sorry, im just want my brain is not thinking apologies. And the San Francisco department of Public Health launched last year this safe streets for Seniors Initiative and i wanted to share that today because we know that a number of seniors also have disabilities and the focus is on educating seniors and Service Providers about vision zero as well as getting input to bring back to the city departments. So this includes multilingual presentations to seniors and senior Service Providers and our program has reached over 730 seniors and staff at 25 locations. And also the program and administers many grants to engage locally more around these issues and address the specific concerns. Last year seven organizations were funded and funding was Just Announced for eight communitybased organizations this year. And in addition to cochairing, i lead work on evaluation and this map depicts the high Energy Network and the network comprises of 13 of the streets in San Francisco where 75 of the severe and fatal injuries are concentrated and its important because it really helps us to understand where targeted investments could fundamentally save lives and d. P. H. Conducts the analysis and compares it with other departments. And the yellow part of this map is what the regional metropolitan Transportation Commission defines as communities of concern and these are communities where lowincome residents and people of color and seniors and people with disabilities and other populations who are reliant on walking and Public Transportation are concentrated. And what we can see on this map is that while those communities comprise about a third of our streets in our city, half of the High Injury Network is in these communities. So in using the High Injury Network we prioritize improvements and taking steps to address the historic disparities in the Traffic Safety conditions on our streets. When the Pedestrian Safety works that i began partnering with the Mayors Office began in 2011, one of the main concerns that was raised was a lack of data on people with disabilities and injury. We know that theres not a category in the Police Reporting forum to collect data on disability, and that was one of the main reasons that we began partnering with the zuckerburg San FranciscoGeneral Hospital to link the police data on collisions with Hospital Data on injuries. The hospital is our level one Trauma Center in San Francisco and that means that the most serious injuries that occur on our streets are transported to the hospitals that we know that are an important source of data to have a more complete assessment of injury. And we know that historically approximately 25 of injuries to pedestrians and cyclists are not captured in police data for a number of reasons and so this year we completed our first linkage of three years of police data with this Hospital Data, and we now have data that were working to analyze on disability status and the trauma system collects data on hearing impaired and visually impaired and whether people will use a walker on a wheelchair or a cane at the time of injury and im working with the citys Attorney Office to best understand how we can share that data with the public, while also protecting patient privacy and confidentiality and i hope to come back to share the findings with the council next year. And we have a summary of the areas that the target safety investments could improve safety for people with disabilities using this new data and were going to be working with sftma and the Community Stakeholders to develop recommendations of prioprioritized locations both n and off the main network and i am excited to say that sfmta is working on a new problem am to address the collision patterns with seniors and people with disabilities off the network and we look forward to reaching out to the council and engaging more around or engaging more as that work progresses. That concludes the presentation that i prepared today but im interested in understanding the questions or concerns or experiences or interest that you have with respect to vision zero so thank you so much and i am happy to provide my Contact Information as well for more information. Thank you. Thank you, and open it up to council and Council Member alex madrid. Thank you for coming. Two questions. And then you have any information on how many people are disability or seniors are injured by collisions. And how and i see the map, how do you see addressing those areas with respect to changing any stoplights or anything like that . By now or in going forward, do you guys have any plans on improving those stop areas . So i would i would be happy i can share more written information but briefly the the search fmta is using the network to inform priority engineering improvements to address the safety concerns using a whole range of changes, depending on the injury patterns and the context on those streets. We have some maps that i can share in more details regarding the specific projects which i would be happy to share. And th the analysis that i just described well look deep or that network and as well as citywide where people, seniors and people with disabilities are injured and then, again, working with m. T. A. , and conducting outreach to better understand what what improvements could address the issues that were seeing in those locations. Thank you. Thank you. Council member Sally Macdonald has a question. I have a question, if neighborhoods have a concern about a particularly bad area, is it something that they come to vision zero or to the m. T. A. Or how how do the citizens get their input in . Yeah, i mean, if the neighbor has a very specific concern and i apologize that i didnt say 311 in the last stage, but its where you can lodge specific concerns and the sfmta will route them to the correct person because theres technically trained staff, that depending on your issue, can help to address that and vision zero though is another the task force that would be a place to come to talk, you know, more broadly i think about safety and citywide issues with respect to safety and how we can address them. Yeah, im wondering also because you see neighbor against neighbor and a lot of these things are going to be do something at this corner and not that corner and how are those decisions made . I mean, i think that is obviously like a project by a project basis and i think that the importance of engaging more in outreach etc. Is really important. You know, your comment does bring to mind i think that one thing that vision zero and the high end network has done is to help to orient orient the city more towards corridor patterns of injuries as opposed to locationbylocation fixes and i refer to that as the whackamole problem where a whole street has probably had similar issues along the same intersections and if we fix one it might pop up at the other but id be happy to connect with you the right person if you have specific questions. Thank you. Council members, okay, sorry. Close Council Member questions. Staff, any questions or comments . This is nicole, thank you very much for being here and we are looking forward to look to look at what weve done so far with vision zero and to start to line up what some of the specific disabilities are and some of the potential solutions might be and i encourage the council if you have specific desire or an input or thought into that process to please be engaged with this because we really need feed diagnose back from as feedback from as many sources in the Disability Community that we can have so we can have a really robust response book now. please stand by so fort. Thank you. The interpreters will be leaving soon. I will make this quick. Information item 12, any correspondence, staff . 13 announcements anything . Okay. I am going to adjourn. Thank you for our presenters, Public Comment people for waiting for our technical difficulties. We ran over. I wish everyone a happy holiday. We hope to see you at the party on december 15th at the Mayors Office on disability from 4 00 to 6 00 and or regularly scheduled meeting on januar january 19th, friday. Happy holidays, goodbye. Being a pedestrian in San Francisco is not easy for anybody. [inaudible] people push tables and chairs outside the sidewalk. I have to be careful not to walk the sidewalk. It is very hard. Sometimes people get half way across the intersection. You have to be alert because there is always something coming up that you need to know about. I learned to listen to the traffic patterns. Sometimes i notice the other pedestrians, they are crossing, on occasion, i have decided im going to cross, too. I get to the middle of the intersection, and i find out that the light has changed. We need to be able to work and go from one place to the other and have Public Transportation. The world needs to be open. People on disability has the task of addressing all the disability. When we are talk about the sidewalks, ramps, we have very specific issues. For people blind and low vision, we have the issue of knowing where they are and when the cross. It can be hit or miss. At hulk and grove, that sound the the automatic it helps people cross the street safely. Now we have a successful pedestrian signal. I push the button, i get an audible message letting me know that i need to wait. When it is safe to cross, not only am i going to get an audible indicator, this button is going to vibrate. So it tells me it is safe. There is the driller sound and this trigger is vibrating. I am not relying on anything but the actual light change, the light cycle built into it. It brings San Francisco from one of the major cities in the u. S. To what is going to be the lead city in the country. City working on all sorts of things. We are trying to be new and innovative and go beyond the ada says and make life more successful for people. Disability rights movement, the city has the overall legal obligation to manage and maintain the accessibility and right of way. With regards to the curb ramps, bounded by a groove border, 12inch wide border. For people with low vision to get the same information. The shape of the domes, flush transition between the bolt bottom of the ramp and gutter. We have a beveled transition on the change in level, tape on the surfaces, temporary asphalt to fill in level changes, flush transition to temporary wood platform and ramp down into the street under the scaffoldinging. Detectable ramps. They are all detectable. Nothing down below or protruding that people are going to get snagged up on. Smooth clean that nobody is going get caught up on. Our no. 1 issue is what we see here, the uplifting and shreufting to concrete due too street tree roots. Here is another problem we have with street trees. If i have i was a person blind, this would be an uncomfortable way to find out. We dont want to create hazards. Sometimes vendors put sidewalk cafes where people push the chairs too far out. Sometimes it can be impassable. So much foot traffic that there is no room for a wheelchair or walker to go by. San francisco is a lively street life, it can be an issue with people with visual disabilities as well. They have these diverting barriers on other side of this tables and chairs area. If people can find thraeur way around it without getting tangled up, it is still fully accessible. We dont want anything special. We want people to basically adhere to the regulations and laws as they are on the books now. People can also, just be cognizant if they have stuff on the street, they thaoed to have 48 inches so we can pass, think outside your own spectrum of yourself that there are other people you need to share the sidewalk with. We will all get along better. Although San Francisco is a hilly place for a whraoel chair user, we seem to be better at most. That doesnt mean we cant continue to improve upon ourselves. The public has a clear are of travel. We cant be every to make sure that is the place. We have to rely on the place. Call 311. Give them your name. That goes into a data base. It is difficult, still, um to make the case that the disabled community isnt being represented. In some ways we are not. We have a long way to go. The city of San Francisco is using the most Innovative Technology available. These devices allow people to remain out in their communities, doing things like shopping. It is great to be able to walk as a pedestrian in this city good morning, everybody. Were here for the antibiotics and meet signing ceremony. Thank you, mayor lee. In the simplest of terms, this asks Large Grocery chains to disclose the antibiotics in the meat and poultry products that are sold. Families and consumers should have the right to know about how their meat is produced. Prior to joining the board of supervisors i worked in health care at ussf. It was there that i spend time studying Health Trends and antibiotic resistance. Antibiotic resistance infections are a Public Health emergency, as they kill thousands of americans each year. And most troublesome is that, in a recent report by the world hem organization, they found out that the world is running out of antibiotics to fight antiresistant infections. This ordinance will help stem the tide of antiresistant infections antibioticresistant infections about meat sold in the San Francisco stores. The response at the federal and state levels is inadequate. In San Francisco when we see a Public Health challenge or problem, we seek to respond to it. This ordinance is about doing what we can as a city to respond to a growing issue and keep more san franciscans safe and healthy. Families and consumers should have the right to know about how the meat they are producing that they are purchasing was produced. With this legislation, we are doing our part to reduce antibioticresistant infections here in San Francisco and protect Public Health. I want to share my sincere gratitude to individuals, city departments, and individuals who have helped in this legislative effort. Particularly, i want to thank the National ResourcesDefense Council for all of their work in tracking this issue and bringing it to the attention of the city, especially avi karr. Special thanks to the department of environment, the department of Public Health for their collaboration on this ordinance and recognizing not only the Environmental Health issues, but the Public Health implications as well, especially for those with immune deficiency. I would also like to thank and introduce someone who has provided enormous support for environmental and Public Health issues. Mayor ed lee consistently works to protect the health of san franciscans and have been great in the fight for antibioticresistant infections. Please join me in welcoming mayor lee. Thank you, supervisor first of all, i like to eat. What am i eating these days . I think that is interesting. Certainly, supervisor sheehy has done his homework if not becoming the resident expert on our board of supervisors, i want to thank supervisor sheehy safai for being here as well and the other Board Members who joined in jeffs leadership to focus on a growing problem that hes identified. There are literally thousands of people who are consuming meats and poultry in the Food Products in the growing inspections that we uncover that are having antibiotics through their evolution grow through misuse and through overuse. And so this is a modest first step, jeff, until we have more information. It is a proven approach. It is a righttoknow approach. It is i approach that the board, the mayor, we all agree we simply need more information to really find out with a the evolution of this bacteria is doing in the market, in the supply chain, and when our kids and our families and ourselves eat these products what is happening with this bacteria . So if we have that information, if we know where it is coming from, we can then hook it up to abuse and misuse that might be happening in the market. We dont know. But we are asking the Grocery Store to comply with this ordinance and is formed by our medical doctors, our department of Public Health, our environmental department, Natural Resources and deep fence council has been working very closely. But it wouldnt come to this point unless we had people doing the research. I want to thank the opportunity to thank supervisor sheehy but his own staff that has worked hard on it. Because im sure you had to answer a lot of questions before we begin imposing a lot more responsibilities on our on our businesses. But we are doing it for good purpose. And this purpose is a serious one. Its a healthrelated one we dont mess with our health. We have to have Better Health outcomes for our people, and if we find data that suggests to us 23,000 people a year in this country are dying and hundreds of thousands are infected by these antibioticresistant infections or things that are evolving by overuse and misuse, we have to do something about it. But it begins with informing ourselves. And i know supervisor sheehy has done this before when it came to h. I. V. And aids. He informed us. He informed the public. He informed his friends. And then we became that much martyr about our legislation and the about the things we had to do. Then came the resources in order to do something on that disease. On this one, we have to do the same thing. We have to be as preventive as possible so it doesnt pro live rate. And thats the work of all of these agencies coming together. So its my privilege to, again, sign legislation that strikes at the beginning of something before it really happens in epidemic proportions. But when it comes to Health Challenges to be smart about it and to do it early. So thank you, jeff, for your leadership. Appreciate it. [ applause ] thank you, mayor lee. Next i would like to introduce Barbara Garcia from the department of Public Health and a natural leader in Public Health, both our department and director garcia. Thank you. Thank you, mr. Lee, mayor lee and supervisor sheehy. The department of Public Health is responsible for consumer and food safety in the city. So this hard finance really supports our ability to protect the food that people eat. The right to know if your food has antibiotics is really part of an essential consumer right. Overuse of antibiotics we know causes emto stay in the hospital longer. It also impacts their ability to heal from diseases. So our ability to really manage the amount of antibiotics that people use really helps them. There are many medications that they cant use because of that and they have to have the ability to heal and get better from the diseases. So what is in our food, theyre food is a protection we can provide to the people of the city of San Francisco. I want to thank our director, Deborah Rafael who is not here today. Shes been one of the leaders in San Francisco with this, so i want to thank her, and all of the leaders here and those that are here today. Thank you, mayor lee, for signing this ordinance. The city of San Francisco and its residents will benefit from this ordinance, so thank you very much. Thank you. Did you want to say . No. We wouldnt have gotten this through. Its unanimous. I want to thank my colleagues and my friend, supervisor safai and thank you, barbara. Lastly, we have jonathan kapplan from the resources council, which has been a great partner. There you are. Thank you, supervisor sheehy. Hi. I think this is switched off. Can you hear me all right . There you go. So every once in a while a local government stands up and provides leadership for the entire nation. This is one of those moments. The City Ordinance that is being signed today would turn a light on in the darkness that has shrouded the industrial livestock industry. For the first time, san san san francisl have access to those Companies Using meat safely and responsibly and move away from those who dont. The ordinance, i want to point out, is unique in the nation. Theres really no other federal law today that requires livestock producers to disclose this information. Theres a new state law in california thats going to require some data of reporting but its not expected to require individual companies to disclose their own individual antibiotic use. Until today, there has been no reporting of antibiotic use by individual companies anywhere in the country. For decades, that that use has been operated in secrecy and that stops here. I want to point out that this need for legislation is more urgent than ever. Rising rates of antibiotic resistant bacteria has threadenned people as we know it. When antibiotics are used again and again, some antibioticresistant comes and we have to curb the unnecessary use of antibiotics wherever we can. Thats our best hope for preserving modern medicine. The legislation being passed today or signed today will give consumers an important new tool for leverages marketplace forces to drive change in the industry. And, you know, the bottom line, this is a really big deal. So we are really proud to be here. We really appreciate the leadership from the people standing behind me. I want to thank mayor lee, supervisor she, and the directors and staff of the departments of environment and Public Health. Congratulations to all of us. [ applause ] thank you, jonathan, and i think were ready to do the signing. Okay. There you go. [ applause ] thank you. Thank you. Go.
