Mr. Clerk please call item 3. Ordinance amending the business and tax coded to increase daily Tax Exemption amount from less than 40 to 52. To decrease from less that 100 to 130 there and and consider adjustments. Thank you, soon per visor peskin. This is not as groundbreaking as the last two pieces of legislation. This is legislation that comes to the board every three to five years based on the Controllers Office review we raise the amount that is exempt from the transsent occupancy tax for Youth Hostels and the controllers report indicates we should raise it from 40 to 52 for daily rental and from 100 to 130 per week. Ms. Campbell has a report which says approval is a policy matter. I will let her speak to it. The amount this impacts is less than it is one quarter of 1 of all of the hotel tax in San Francisco. 26 . With that i will turn it over to ms. Campbell. Correct. Members of the committee on page 5 of the report taxes the collected amount was 1. 1 billion. Our estimate is that this would forego about 23 7,000 in taxes annually. We do consider it a policy matter because of the tax issue. I dont know if there is Public Comment on this item. Members of the public who wish to speak please step forward. You have one minute to speak. Mr. Right. You are always taxes somebody. You didnt tax twitter forgetting tax free money now you want to tax the taxi drivers and the drivers pay 250,000 for a medallion that has them broke and some of the drivers want to commit suicide. You are north the internal revenue. You are not the irs. You are already demonstrated tax evasion, Money Laundering and wire and mail freud. You are in violation of the enterprise where you are running a racket and transferring funds and giving tax free money to companies that dont need a break. When i check you talk about giving them a break. They dont need a break. They have to tax you. Chair mar thank you. Next speaker, please. Are there any other members of the public . Thank you, mr. Right. Are there any other members of the public to speak on this item. Public comment is closed. Can we move this forward . This is tax relief. Yes, i would love to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. Without objection. Thank you. Mr. Checker. Please call item four. Agenda item four resolution authorizes the department of children, youth and families to enter into a memorandum for financial sup39 for the period july 1, 2019 and june 30, 2029 subject to the budget and fiscal provisions of the charter. Colleagues since i joined in january i have been working with the precity coalition and mayor breed and city College Leaders including the trustees to ensure full funding over the next decade reflecting learning. Despite differences i have been very appreciative of the parties shared commitment to the program to ensure it is sustained for the next decade. After a robust and quite complicated negotiation process involving multiple parties. I am pleased we have come to a agreement on a plan for the future of free city. Besides fully funding free city it including significant improvements to the Charter Amendment the board voted on last december. The new agreement would start the full funding this fall, a year earlier than under the Charter Amendment. This represents 8. 6 million this coming year. The agreement includes a onetime reimbursement of 5. 4 million to cover under finding the first two years. The key terms of the agreement are outlined in a tentative agreement between the city and city college that was negotiated by the mayor office and approved by the trustees on june 27. This tentative agreement will serve as basis for fully executed 10 year mou to be negotiated by the city College Administration in the coming weeks. To move this agreement forward there are three items for the board to take action on. First is a motion to withdraw the free city Charter Amendment which moved forward on monday to the july 16 full board. Second is the soared nance for o move forward to july 16 full board meeting. Third is the resolution authorizing the fully executed 10 year m. O. U. That is before us today. Because all three items are a package deal, i would like to have all three items voted by the full board together on july 16. I want to thankty Mayors Office and city College Trustees and the coalition for working on this resolution and amendments i will propose today. I am submitting to the clerk a copy of the tentative agreement upon which the city college was agreed upon by city college for the file. I would like to explain the amendments for the resolution. Do we have copies . Since the tentative agreement says the m. O. U. Would take effect on july 1, 2019, i would like to amend the resolution to take effect retroactive to july 1, 2019. I have added language in the first subparagraph d and e to state funds allocated by the city can be used for enrollment fees and to offset educational expenses other than tuition. Thirdly, i somewhere deleted language in the first subparagraph d that says the funds can be used for no other purpose than enrollment fees. I have deleted the last whereas clause stated that funding for the city program is not guaranteed. I want be to acknowledge the City Attorney may advise us to be cautious about deleting the last whereas clause. The deletion stating funding is not guaranteed is crucial to the good faith agreement. We know funding is subject to appropriations process as are all funds not in the city charter. All parties agree to fund it for the next decade. We agreed we would have the strongest intent language. It upholds the intent of our agreement. I would ask mr. Campbell to do a fiscal Impact Report at the full board on july 16th. We can submit the report to the full board. Thank you ms. Campbell. I look forward to moving this forward as a Committee Report and considering all items on july 16th. Before Public Comment, colleagues do you have any comments or questions . Chair mar, i understand what you are saying with regard to the provision in the current legislation which is a recital on page 2 lines 10 through 13 and remind me what is the deputy City Attorneys name. The charter ultimately rules. The reality is whether that clause is in this memorandum of understanding or not the charter rules. I mean if it makes people happy not to have the language in there, the reality is if god forbid the board were not to appropriate not like the city college can sue us to ask them to perform. Yes, deputy City Attorney. The reason we wanted that we suggested that language for the resolution to make clear to the public that funding guarantee would be subject to the fiscal provisions of the charter and subject to appropriation by the board every year. I think the city College Trustees know that and City Attorney knows that and mayor news that. If it makes people happy not to have it in there. I support its removal. Any questions . Are there members of the public to speak . Please stem up to the microphone, mr. Right. You are going to get sued because the people on general assistance and Welfare Program and your cash. Single mothers cant go for free. Mothers taking care of kids they cant go to college. By the same response you are talking about free. Aint a god damn thing free. 32. 5 million in debt and the year is not over with yet. It is cool and proper to say at the end of the year 65 million in debt. 10 years means that you will be 650 million in debt. Spending money on programs to give treatment to spoiled kids. They dont let the students go to school for free and they come to San Francisco on your dime to go to school. Next speaker, please. Speakers have one minute to speak given our time constraints. I will be done in 30 seconds. I am the senior vice chancellor of Student Affairs at city college. Thank you so very, very much for your hard work. The city as well. We appreciate this effort and understand the funds are not guaranteed. We appreciate the changes made including authorizing that is critical for timing. The rest of it we are in agreement with aft.

Thank you for considering a career with the city and county of San Francisco. [ ] i just dont know that you can find a neighborhood in the city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. It is an experience that you cant have anywhere else in San Francisco. [ ] [ ] district nine is a in the southeast portion of the city. We have four neighborhoods that i represent. St. Marys park has a completely unique architecture. Very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in San Francisco. The Bernal Heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of San Francisco. There is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. It is as if you are swinging over the entire city. There are two unique aspects. It is considered the fourth chinatown in San Francisco. Sixty of the residents are of chinese ancestry. The second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. There is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the flowers. Not only for San Francisco but for the region. And of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the citys second biggest park after golden gate. Many people dont know the neighborhood in the first place if they havent been there. We call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. Every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. Where we are right now is the Mission District. The Mission District is a very special part of our city. You smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. They have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. And then you walk further down and you have sunrise cafe. It is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. Twentyfourth street is the birthplace of the movement. We have over 620 murals. It is the largest outdoor Public Gallery in the country and possibly the world. You can find so much Political Engagement park next to so much incredible art. Its another reason why we think this is a cultural district that we must preserve. [ ] it was formed in 2014. We had been an organization that had been around for over 20 years. We worked a lot in the neighborhood around life issues. Most recently, in 2012, there were issues around gentrification in the neighborhood. So the idea of forming the cultural district was to help preserve the history and the culture that is in this neighborhood for the future of families and generations. In the past decade, 8,000 latino residents in the Mission District have been displaced from their community. We all know that the rising cost of living in San Francisco has led to many people being displaced. Lower and middle income all over the city. Because it there is richness in this neighborhood that i also mentioned the fact it is flat and so accessible by trip public transportation, has, has made it very popular. Its a struggle for us right now, you know, when you get a lot of development coming to an area, a lot of new people coming to the area with different sets of values and different culture. There is a lot of struggle between the existing community and the newness coming in. There are some things that we do to try to slow it down so it doesnt completely erase the communities. We try to have developments that is more in tune with the community and more Equitable Development in the area. You need to meet with and gain the support and find out the needs of the neighborhoods. The people on the businesses that came before you. You need to dialogue and show respect. And then figure out how to bring in the new, without displacing the old. [ ] i hope we can reset a lot of the mission that we have lost in the last 20 years. So we will be bringing in a lot of folks into the neighborhoods pick when we do that, there is a demand or, you know, certain types of services that pertain more to the local community and workingclass. Back in the day, we looked at mission street, and now it does not look and feel anything like mission street. This is the last stand of the latino concentrated arts, culture and cuisine and people. We created a cultural district to do our best to conserve that feeling. That is what makes our city so cosmopolitan and diverse and makes us the envy of the world. We have these unique neighborhoods with so much cultural presence and learnings, that we want to preserve. [ ] streets. speaking foreign language. i wanted to wish you a best wishes and congratulations the community has shifted a lot of when i was growing up in the 60s and 50s a good portion of chicanoamerican chineseamerican lived in north beach a nob hill community.
