Had already swam. I also swim the bay but never got to swim with buck. I am certain i would not have been able to keep up with him. I would like to extend my condolences to the City Attorneys Office and his family. He was the kind of person when you saw him, he made you want to be better at everything. He made me want to be a better athlete, better at my job and just a basic human decent human being. I have been here for 12 years now, every time i ran into him it was a pleasure to see buck, and he will be missed. Supervisor haney. I want to share my condolences with buccs family and friends. I i want to thank you for sharing him with the city and with all of us. I am a new supervisor. I would always hear his name out there from other people in the building, and it is clear that what he demonstrated in term of his love for the city, knowledge, passion, had such an impact on everyone who worked here. We could feel that all around us, and i just got a text message and had heard the story before. It was actually buck who had advised chris daily that as the mayor for the day he can make the appointment to the p. U. C. Commission. He was the only one who could make that call. When he did as the staff said they knew he was the real deal. He stated the law matter of factually. He said this is something you can do, and as supervisor safai said that led to many decisions affected countless people in the city. I want to thank you for sharing him with us and to the entire City Attorneys Office and thank you and my condolences. Thank you, colleagues for your kind words. Supervisor peskin. I just want to give members of the family who may want to say a few words. I see his brother mark coming forward. I am mark, bucks brother. I suspect the fine gentleman and his words maybe one of the few times in your memories were you asked a public speaker, please dont stop, keep going. This room because he told me so represented decency, democracy, doing the right thi thing, blemishes and all to him. First, i want to give special thanks to marguerite and paul who went down stairs on Tuesday Morning to help buck. They explained everything was okay, calming him down a little bit, and send him on his way to the hospital. Actually, i screwed that up. Let me start over. Yes, marguerite and paul and john from the Attorneys Office and the sheriffs down stairs who i had spoken to personally were so kind and gentle and supportive with buck and moved him into the office. He would have none of that. He wanted his bike. They convinced him to settle down, which he did. So today i was in bucks office. I hope the person doesnt mind that somebody named molly ward, who was on mcallister. Deedear buck, i write to thank u for yesterdays lunch and fine company. The lemonade was good, too, i would recommend it. We both lived once between 19 and 20th is a coincidence. Perhaps it is why i felt to so comfortable saying hello and making your acacquaintance. Thank you for the continues on making the most out of my legal education. Like you, i already do. I have to think of him watching laurel and hardy, and i will get composed. He laughed so hard he couldnt breathe when he watched them move the piano up the stairway with a piece of 2009. Thank you for the continues on how to make the most out of my legal education. Like you already do, i hope one day to serve San Francisco and lead by example, also, as you do. Virginia once mentioned to me your ocean swimming interest. For you that rocks. Sincerely, molly wood. I am honored to be in this place at this moment. Thank, you mr. President , members of the board, so many staff, especially dennis. Please know that your support and love that our family has received from so many of you and the city and county in general has been overwhelming inspiring, joyful, and it has added to the immense pride we already have. I promise you in the broadest great comfort each and every gesture of kindness, love and support. This building was bucks place of worship, as his daughter has said. All of you were not his extended family. You were not his extended family. You were his family. Thank you very much. Thank you, mark. [applause. ] why dont we close this out, and to the family accept our condolences. Right now i will give you a second we would like to leave the chamber at this point. I will give you a minute to leave and we will continue our meeting in one minute. Thank you. Okay. Thank you, colleagues for allowing this to happen. We are going to go back to our commendations at this point, and supervisor mandelman, would you like to share your commendation. I know it is rough, but we will get through this. Thank you, president yee. Are the home ward bound folks here . Come on up. Today i want to recognize the home ward Bound Program from the department of homelessness and supported housing. Since creation in 2005 the program has helped over 14,000 Homeless Individuals reunite with friends and family. As the city has seen a 17 increase in homelessness over the last two years we need to use every tool we can. For many served leaving the streets in San Francisco to reconnect with loved ones is the best available opportunity for a new beginning. The home ward bound team is small and mighty. Their hard work makes the Program Success possible. There are seven Health Workers and one supervisor they work with homeless to coordinate travel and money for meals and following a minimum of three times during the first month every union fiction to be sure they are in a safe place. I want to thank the home ward bound staff for all of the work you do. I believe isaac is going to say a few words. Good afternoon, board. I am isaac foster. I have been working with home ward bound since the inception with the city. This is an awesome team. We have been trying our best to try to help the Homeless Population that we work with get back home to friends, family or their community. This is a passion that we do, and we work with people who are in trauma daily. We sit there with them and we work with their trauma and work through that trauma to get them to a safe place. From the young lady trying to pay rent with three kids here in San Francisco and just cant reach it and wants to go back to live with her mom in indiana to the distraught young guy who cant make it here and whose uncles offered him a job in texas and get back there to get his footing, those things are important to us. We as the home ward bound team thrive to make those things happen on a daily basis. We are a small team, but we account for a lot. We push that daily, and if i can speak for the rest of the team, we are very proud to stand up here and a chief this, again, thank you so much. Thank you. [applause. ] thank you for your work. Next we would like to have supervisor brown, please share your commendation. Yes, thank you. Today i am commending victor jones, aka creature man. Come on up here, victor.

Thank you. Lastly, we have supervisor haney. Please share your accommodation. Thank you, president yee. It is still Filipino American history month. It is the last few days here. I am very proud to present a commendation to two people who are committed to preserving and elevating the Filipino Community in our city. The master mind behind the undiscovered San Francisco creative night market and two of the most hardworking people i know. They produced undiscovered as a collaboration between cultivate labs and make it merry in partnership with the filipino cultural district. The concept is to bring together artists and food vendors to celebrate the filipino culture. If you all havent been, you are missing out. It is one of the most Extraordinary Events in the city in a long time. Des see is a soma resident and entrepreneur. He has 15 years of experience creating, funding, branding unique Business Concepts that span the food, music and technology spaces. He helps people grow businesses he is helping filipinos thrive and grow. His expertise was key and he has used the skills to transform a parking lot to the amazing undiscovered Basketball Court that positively activates not just the parking lot but the alley as well inspiring others to get involved to make the street a better place to live and work. That is still open. He is working on republic sf, retail space and Business Incubator omission street with the goal of a commercial strip of filipino owned businesses by 2020. He is an events enthusiasts and founder of the events. Prior to the founding he spent 10 years doing corporate annan profit events including seven years working for google and google x. Last year he found the entrepreneur summit, annual event for filipino nap entrepreneurs. He amplifies the voices of color through the summit. He continues to build on the work which just finished the Second Annual summit wit with t0 in attendance. Her next project is to head up Event Production for the fillmore jazz festival. The two of you are some of the most consistent presences on making cool stuff happen in the community not just the last few years but for decades in the city. I remember seeing des see when he would have parties and venues. There was always something new happening and always on on the cutting edge. You are continuing that and we are all benefiting in so many ways. The ways you center filipino culture and art and lifting other people is inspiring. It is the Fastest Growing ethnic group in california. South of market is ground zero for the gentrification as new and expensive high rise developments popup. In creating the undiscovered they have played a part to preserve filipino cultural institutions and prevent the further displacements of the residents in soma. More permanent businesses will surely follow reinvigorating the south of market neighborhood with a ruth Cultural Diversity it deserves. We are grateful and happy to honor you two today. Thank you. [applause. ] two years ago when we finished the first season of undiscovered sf, we had five pop ups in five months. It was insane. Over 30,000 people that first season. I had no idea we would be where we are today. After that i put in my moin my tech job because i knew this is where i needed to be. I thank the city of San Francisco. I remember our first conversation and thanks for the city to having faith in two crazy filipinos with big ideas. It is what happens when we invest in big thanking for the communities. Thank you to the team. It is a team sport to make miracles happen every month. Thank you to all of the activists and nonprofits that made it possible for us to be here and for trusting us with representing them with such a very important event for our cultural district. Thank you, supervisors. It is very important we get this now because, as you know, working in Community Development representing people is not easy. When you work in economic development, you are going to be making things that are going to make communities uneasy, and the programs we develop are very innovative and make people feel very uncomfortable. It is ironic you give us this award now. In a few hours we have to go in front of the community and justify andy fend our approach to economic development. It takes many hands and minds and hearts to move this mountain forward. I am hoping this award is going to give the strength and bravery for my team to keep pushing, keep moving. We hit obstacles and we cant make everybody happy, we are doing the right thing because our intentions are real. We are very mindful of the consequences of economic development. I am happy to be a san franciscan, to be part of a sievof aof amovement. We are one of the most wealthy cities in the world. We have people falling through the cracks every day. One of our hopes is to rediscover the value of bringing people up together. I hope we can unlock that solution. [please stand by]. Clerk dedicating funds for permanent Supportive Housing and the acquisition of Supportive Housing and to remove the monetary limit of the funds under the housing fund and modify the ceqa determination and make the appropriate findings. President yee next time, press a button. Supervisor haney im sorry. President yee supervisor, youre automatic. Supervisor haney . Supervisor haney thank you for allowing me to return to this. This legislation has been a number of months in the making. Initially, we introduced this legislation because it was so urgent we introduced it before the nexus study was out and we wanted to start the process. When the nexus study did come out which sort of allows us to justify increasing the fee, we were able to go through a process with the community and ultimately with labor, hearing from businesses and all of you to come up with what is in front of you today. I want to thank the many different organizations who were a part of bringing this legislation forward, advocating it forward. Somcan, Hispanic Labor council, supervisors and cosponsors mar, fewer, walton, ronen, yee, peskin, mandelman, and safai, and i believe brown, as well, so just to have such broad support for this issue of how we make sure that as we grow in a city, were growing in a way so that people who work here are able to live here. Supervisor mar had put out a report through the b. L. A. Which showed over the last ten years, we were building 1. 5 units of housing for every 8. 5 jobs here. And that shouldnt be surprising. Its been a massive displacement of low and middleincome households in our fee. The strain of workers who are living further and further away from their jobs. And i think a bigger question and existential threat to our city of what it means to grow if were not building enough Affordable Housing. The nexus study showed for these Larger Office developments. About a third of the jobs created as a result of those Office Developments are people making under 1 00 a. M. I. Which means they are having a very forward time, almost impossible, to afford housing in San Francisco. So that puts a lot on us as a city to be able to make good on our promises and make good legislation. This will lead to 400 million of increased investment in Affordable Housing in the next eight years along. We will be able to see, i eight years alone. We will be able to see the advantages of that in the next decade alone. We took some feedback from the Small Business commission and from organized labor to be able to get to the place we are today, which is a very strong piece of legislation. It will lead to thousands of units of housing being built that would not be built otherwise, and i think its smart equitiable sense that we need in our city as we continu need in our city as we continue to grow. The major thing is we are updating our fee so projects in the pipeline will pay 52. 20 per square foot, and that will increase to 69. 60. Theres a phasing in. We recognize that for the Pipeline Projects that are not expecting an increase of this size, particularly because most of those projects are in central soma and theyre paying significant fees. We also will be adjusting the rate of the laboratory fee, so well phase it out to 38. 37. In recommendations to the Small Business commission, the smaller projects, so projects between 25,000 and 50,000 square feet will pay a slightly reduced rate, as well, with concerns with those projects viability and a concern they have a lesser margin. And lastly, we require a nexus and Feasibility Study be conducted every five years and that will take into account commercial development of varying size so we can see a viability. Again, i want to thank members of the Land Use Committee and supervisor peskin for his partnership, supervisor mar, as well, for really pushing on this housing job. And lastly, i want to thank Courtney Mcdonald from my office who led the charge and negotiated with everyone all the way up until the last minute, went up to the Small Business commission and just has been doing a fantastic job getting us to where we are, making investments in small housing and some changes to the legislation. Im happy to answer any questions that you have about the amendments, but id ask that you move the amendments forward. President yee supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin thank you, president yee. I want f i i am proud to be working with supervisor haney and his staff, especially ms. Mcdonald. The reason that i rise is because of the hearing that the Small Business commission had yesterday, and im looking to ms. Kitler. We are in receipt of a letter from the Small Business commission dated today, october 29. I welcome their comments, and apparently, mr. Haney is going to accommodate some of them. I recognized the borderline abusive to supervisor haneys staff. I for one am not going to send my staff to that commission, which is my right, if they mistreat members of our staff. Period, end of subject. President yee supervisor safai . Supervisor safai yes. Just thank you, mr. President. I, too, saw the questioning. I remember one time being chair of the rules committee, and might have gone a little bit overboard, and president yee at the time was not the president , and he grabbed me armed and said okay, supervisor, lets move on. And so that probably needed to happen yesterday it definitely needed to happen yesterday. It went on for over a half an hour in terms of the question. It was a bit incessant, but i, too, witnessed that, and it would help to give some constructive criticism to that body 100 . And courtney, miss mcdonald handled herself with aplomb. She did a great job keeping a smile on her job. I probably would have frowned a few times, as i often do. So i rise to say thank you to supervisor haney. This was not an easy lift. It was a significant amount of negotiation. We have the both the pleasure and the unfortunate pleasure of serving on the same committee when it comes to being able to communicate to one another. We cant communicate directly as the rules pertain, but i think we were able to get through the business community, labor community, as well as all the interested parties. I think the project that was made to bring down the projects that have been in the pipeline for years in the soma, i think we need to recognize that, but also to push that were recognizing almost close to 400 million. I want to commend you for being willing and open. The second thing is on the small cap projects, as i said to you and your staff, i think its important to acknowledge that there is a major difference between the class a and class b and smaller spaces. And to Pay Attention to that, to acknowledge that, and to make that amendment is very important because of the way the market works, and just my experience working with the janitors, we are always 100 focused on working on the office space. The class a absolutely has pressure on the smaller spaces, so appreciate you making that amendment. The numbers, how theyre updated over the course of the year, having that in there i think is very important. In the past, weve worked with the Housing Committee on the inclusionary process. I think theres lessons to be learned from that. Five years i think might be a little too long, but i appreciate you putting that in there, and hopefully, we can revisit that at some point because we are going to have some adjustments in the market. Construction and labor costs are not going to remain where they are. We need to take a look at this in a shorter amount of time. But i appreciate you being in there, and the leadership that you showed on this extremely, extremely important piece of legislation that i think we all agree needed to be updated. And i think in all fairness, even the ones in the pipeline knew that an update was coming and were preparing for that. Thank you for that, and i also proudly affix my name to this piece of legislation. President yee supervisor ronen . Supervisor ronen yes. I just wanted to start out by saying that i didnt witness the questioning of Courtney Mcdonald by the Small Business commissioners, but from all accounts, i have heard that she held her own. So i just want to say that i dont think we need to worry about sending our brilliant staff female staff to take on any commissioner in this building. And while perhaps it was inappropriate, and i appreciate it, i just want to say bring it, bring it. Shes got it. She, from all accounts, put that commissioner in his place and held her own, so courtney, you go, girl. What i also wanted to say is supervisor haney, this is amazing. Thank you so much for this legislation. 400 million alone for the projects in the pipeline for Affordable Housing. This combined with the housing bond, which we all hope is on its way to passage, we are finally talking about numbers that in the billiondollar range that will start to make a dent in this crisis that we have been struggling with in this city. I am so sick of nibbling around the edges, and to have these two pieces of major legislation moving forward that have the support of this entire board of supervisors, its extraordinary, and it makes me so excited that were finally not just lamenting the tragedy, but were doing something about fixing it. And we all know that revenue to build city, subsidized, Affordable Housing, is the only way that were going to fix the level of this crisis. So congratulations, supervisor haney. So excited about this legislation, and congratulations, Courtney Mcdonald, every step of the way. President yee supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer yes. I just want to say that it does not matter that our aide, court that if our aide, Courtney Mcdonald, can hold her own. They work in excess of 40 hours of week, and we are all professionals here. The idea that one of our aides will be treated as such calls for admonishment. Thank you very much. President yee okay. I guess i want to congratulate supervisor haney, also. I mean, when you brought this concept or idea of legislation early on, it was one of the fastest discussions that ive had with my colleagues saying yes, lets go for it. And it looks like its going to be flat on the road to being successful, because its true. Without you know, theres a reason why were facing this Affordable Housing crisis, and the cause of the root cause of this is the jobs were creating, and this needs to be dealt with, and the people that are creating the opportunities for new jobs need to be part of the solution, so thank you very much. So i believe that you had offered some amendment and made a motion for an amendment . Is there a second . Seconded by supervisor peskin, and i believe without objection, the amendments will pass. Colleagues, can we take this without objection, same house, same call . Clerk mr. President , we have a different house. President yee oh, yes. Supervisor walton has joined us. And i also want to acknowledge that our former mayor, art agnos, is in the chambers. Thank you, mr. Agnos. Where are you . Clerk he may have left, mr. President. President yee okay. I dont have my distance glasses on right now. Okay. So madam clerk, can i have roll call. Clerk okay. On item 22 as amended [roll call] clerk there are 11 ayes. President yee okay. So this ordinance passes unanimously. [gavel]. President yee madam clerk, can you call item 30 and 31 together. Clerk items 30 and 31 were considered by the land use and Transportation Committee by a meeting on monday, october 28 and were forwarded as committee reports. Item 30 is an ordinance to repeal the existing entire San Francisco fire code and to enact a new San Francisco fire code consisting of the 2019 california fire code and portions of the 2018 International Fire code, together with amendments specific to San Francisco with an operative date of january 1, 2020. 31 is an ordinance to repeal the existing Green Building code in its entirety and to enact a new San Francisco Green Building code. President yee colleagues, can we take this without objection . [gavel]. Clerk mr. President , sorry to didnt you catch you after you gavelled down. Supervisor haney left the room. President yee hes here. Madam clerk, can you call the next item, please. Clerk mr. President , youre up for first on business. President yee today, i ask that we create effective and administration and enforcement of laws related to campaign finances, Public Financing of candidates, government ethics, and registration and reporting by lobbyists, campaign consultants, permit consultants, and major developers. These are critically important because without the Ethics Commission that is able to do its work effectively and efficiently, all our good and effective policies and legislation are just words on paper. The last audit was performed in 2012 by the boards budget analyst, and since that time, we have had new news, new laws, new lobbying restrictions and a new Financial Disclosure system that is underway. So how is our Ethics Commission doing when it comes to oversight . Is there oversight being performed in a timely manner . Is this oversight effective . Are there best or promising practices being used by other ethics departments or by the states Fair Political Practices Commission that we should be looking to and adopting . When investigations take an unreasonable amount of time to complete when it seems as though the simplest or the lowest hanging fruits are the targets of their operations rather than sophisticated operations, when theres not realtime reports of violations of ethics laws or are acted on after the campaign is over, that is not reassuring the public that we are maintaining scrupulous oversight to ensure a transparent government. In the Political Landscape like the one that we are in, it is absolutely critical that we do what we can to show that government can adhere to the highest ethical standards and that where we fall short, we have enough oversight body that is operating in the publics best interest to keep government accountable. I look forward to the outcome of the audit and thank my colleagues for support. I also want to a second matter that i am addressing today is the increase of in the oversights vehicles, recreation vehicles and cars that are parking overnight and for an extended period of time. Ive received many calls, and perhaps my colleagues have received many calls and emails in their districts. I am directing the department of real estate officially to Research Possible sites in my district that would be appropriate and safe to use as a safe parking site similar to the upper yard in district 11. I have had discussions with the department of homelessness about this over the past few months, and i understand they want to implement the safe parking site at the upper yard first, make sure that they address problem identify and address problems that arise and establish good practices before the city opens any other safe practice parking locations. I agree with this approach. However, we shouldnt just sit around and wait until that is completed before looking at other possible locations. I want there to be a concerted and intentional effort to identify and Research Options in my district so that when the upper yard project analysis is completely, there are already prequalified locations ready. Pursuant to the legislation authored by supervisor brown that created the safe overnight parking pilot program, the department of real estate is charged with conducting survey of Real Property in the city to identify lots appropriate for a Vehicle Navigation Triage Center or a safe overnight parking lot, and the findings were supposed to be submitted to the board of supervisors no later than three months after Effective Date of the legislation. While that legislation was effective as of june 2019, and it has been four months. If we say that this is a crisis, and it is, we need to act with urgency that the crisis requires. The situation that created the crisis in housing affordable which has resulted in so many of our neighbors being displaced from their homes did not happen overnight. We are not going to solve it overnight, and that means that more people are finding themselves unable to afford housing in our city despite the fact that their jobs, their childrens schools, their entire support network continue to be here in the city that they all call home. Enforcing parking laws alone is not going to solve the situation because telling people to move their vehicles doesnt make people disappear. All it does is push them to the next block or the next neighborhood, but we also cant just let people park anywhere and for as long as they want. There are very human needs that have to be addressed. Bathrooms, taking care of raw sewage. Trash disposed and taking care of refuse. That cant be taken care of on our streets. The situations on our streets require us to act with all urgency. Therefore, i am requiring the board of real estate to present their findings to the board with all due haste, starting with district seven. Thank you. One last thing, im going to be making a motion for imperative items, the motion occurring in the october 27, 2019 proclamation by the mayor declaring the existence of a local emergency and actions taken to meet the emergency of the kinkaid fire in Sonoma County, and the evacuees of the neighboring county. Over 75,000 acres have burned with only 15 containment, and there are now 124 structures destroyed with another 90,000 structures at risk. 185,000 people ordered evacuated by Sonoma County officials, and are looking for temporary shelters. Mayor breed declared a local emergency on sunday, october 27, 2019, and has directed the head of each department and agency to be responsive to orders and requests to support during this emergency. An emergency proclamation must be ratified by this board within seven days, which is why this item is going to be on the b imperative agenda. Our city opened an Emergency Shelter at st. Marys and is continuing to look at more spaces for supporting the evacuees. I want to thank all the First Responders and personnel who helped the neighbors. I want to thank the work of volunteers who are trying to support everyone through this traumatic event. This is a disaster that impacts so many of our city family. I want everybody to know that we will do everything we can to support those impacted. We are united in doing this together, so the rest i would submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor brown. Thank you. Supervisor haney . Supervisor haney thank you, madam clerk. I have one introduction today, and i just lost my name tag. San francisco is a city dominated by renters. Generally, if a person lives in a unit that was built before 1979 and has two or more renters, you are covered by protection. Under that, the landlord can evict for one of 16 reasons, which are called just reasons. The landlord cannot evict without a just cause, like nonpayment of rent or illegal use of a unit. San franciscos just cause protections have been on the books for decades, and we were one of the first cities to adopt them. However, there are thousands of units who are not granted the same protections simply because they are buildings built after 1979. For these tenants, their landlords are not required to state a reason for evicting them. Their protections are arbitrary and leave them without protection. According to a housing report in 2015, 15 of renters report being threatened for eviction in the last five years, roughly half for cause and half for no account. Just last month, Governor Newsom assigned our david chius ab 42, capping rents statewide. It expands the protections that San Francisco has in place by extending just cause protections to buildings built between 1979 and 2004. The bill exempts buildings constructed within the last 15 years, so what im introducing today is a proposal that is very simple. Expand just cause protections to all buildings in the private market, regardless of when it was built. No one should have to live in fa fear of an arbitrary eviction. It is a critical component necessary to keep San Francisco residents housed. The history, culture and residents of our city suffer when they are evicted, forcing them to move from home to home. I look forward to working with all of you to expand these protections for renters, and i want to thank the Tenants Union and Assembly Member chiu for paving the way. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor. Supervisor mandelman . Thank you. Supervisor mar . Supervisor mar thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, im introducing two items today. First, ive made strengthening our democracy and addressing political corruption an early priority because the past to our future is through a stronger democracy. Thats why i put measure f, shine a light on dark money on the ballot, and thats why im glad to join with the aclu of california to join in the Fair Elections charter amendment. This is the next step forward in making our democracy stronger and fairer in putting power in the hands of the people who represent them. Its based on a simple idea, that the choice of who should represent us in elected office belongs to the public, not in approximate back room
