President yee without objection the ordinance is passed on first reading. Im sorry, the motion to continue the item to november 10th. Passes. Item 10. Clerk item 10 is an ordinance for third Party Food Delivery services. President yee ok. Supervisor peskin. Thank you, president yee. I would like to start by thanking my cosponsors, supervisor safai, mandelman, walton and stefani and colleagues, as we all are very, very well aware, so Many Industries and businesses have been incredibly hardhit by the pandemic and restaurants are one of those business sectors and while some are recovering throughout door dining and our spared Spaces Program that was the subject of an article in the chronicle, many are still struggling and up to half of them may never reopen and as we all knew, some were struggling before the coronavirus hit. Theres so many reasons for that my office has been analyzing that for two years and the practices and high commissions charged by third Party Food Delivery apps like uber eats, grub hub and door dash are in part one of the drivers of that and over the course of the pandemic, over the last eight months, as Indoor Dining first came to a halt, and has reopened, weve seen the incredible expansion of shared spaces from here to district 11 and thank you supervisor safai for actually going out and encouraging people to participate in the shared Spaces Program. To regain some of that lost capacity and weve also seen a commensurate, if not vast increase of these third Party Food Delivery apps. As restaurants have had to come to rely on them. In the old days, it was the delivery person but now its the internet. I want to really start by acknowledging the mayors executive order in early april which set a 15 cap on commissions that the third Party Food Delivery services could charge to restaurants. All of whom operate on a very, very thin margin. This legislation today builds on that by extending the duration of that cap which is inclusive of all fees charged by food clen deliver re services. Including those outside of the core oldtime Delivery Service. As weve made clear to the Third Party App providers, if they would like to go to marketing and advertising they should do so but they should not be able to exploit restaurants particularly restaurants that are less sophisticated or new restaurants that are entrance into the very, very difficult market for these additional fees will make it even harder on them. This legislation takes aim at the fundamental Business Model underlying these we all know it, multibillion venturecap tarred funded corporations which have been able to emas unbelievable market shares at the same time as i mentioned earlier, while upwards of half our restaurants may never reopen and to that end, this legislation also proposes to end person practices that have positioned the Indoor Dining experience indirect competition with the convenience of delivery and at menu items and provides restaurant with the flexibility to cancel their relationships with any of these Third Party Apps with 72 hour notice and prohibits Food Delivery Services from delivering from restaurants with which they do not have a preexisting relationship. Much of this has been reported in the media and i do want to acknowledge the apps who have been working with us and individual restaurantstures and the Golden Gate Restaurant Association for acknowledging these Core Principles and agreeing to them, albeit, while they dont like the 15 cap. Over the course of the past couple of months, my staff, lee heppner who i want to acknowledge and salute and ive been in direct communication with these companies, and weve actually compromised on a couple of days. First by allowing this legislation that i wanted to be permanent to expire 60 days following a health order issued by our chief Health Officer that allows restaurants to return to 100 Indoor Dining capacity and second by increasing the proposed Commission Cap from 10 per order which is what i originally started with but as a function of compromise and consistent with the mayors order to 15 . To modify as a cover established to add cover establishment should not include any restaurant that meets the definition a formal retail use under section 303. 1 of the planning code. I would like to duplicate file and send it back to committee so id like to adopt them first and coupe indicate the file and send it back with the intent of keeping watch over this ever evolving quick lie evolving political and Business Model and make sure that were prepared to take any additional steps to protect restaurants should we need to do so and in conclusion id like to thank the Small Business for their unanimous support and Many Organizations who provided early common and in sight like the castro merchants and the Sf Bar Owners Alliance and i already mentioned my starve and the golden gate restaurant and ethan and the dozens of Restaurant Owners and workers who wrote into our offices and signed petitions in support of this legislation and i would also like to thank deputy City Attorney sarah and anne and i mention mid cosponsors and witmycosponsoro move that before taking the first read on this legislation. Ok, is there a second. Second. Please add me as a cosponsor. Supervisor peskin. Supervisor safai. Thank you, ill be brief but i just want to thank supervisor peskin for working with us in the beginning of this process i asked him to hold the legislation so we would actually give the delivery at companies the opportunity to sit down with us and do the right thing on their own. We gave them the option during this pandemic, during this health crisis, and during this economic catastrophe to make this decision for themselves and i had multiple meetings with them and working with the industry and laid it out for them and said if you do not do this, well do this for you and its going to make you look as though you did not have the the decency to do this on your own. Ultimately, we made the decision to start off at 10 and we compromised with the Mayors Office as supervisor peskin said and ultimately landed on 15 . I will say i appreciate that theres been some negotiations around the idea that this would end 60 days after full Indoor Dining and i appreciate were coupe dating the file and i was going to suggest that the lead cosponsor and say to them that at some point this might be the best practice anyway for this industry. We need to continue to look at that but i want to put that on the record. We did give the decision to make that on their own and were talking about the survive alf the backbone of our and our economy is based on these Small Business owners and the idea many of them would be signed up without their knowledge and they would have prices set without their knowledge and they would be put no contract and when they were in contract not get out of contract without their own undoing. These are important things were doing so i want that thank lee for his hard work and thank you supervisor peskin for working on this legislation and all the different folks, the Golden Gate Restaurant Association and Small Business perch ants and steed wide folks that are impacted by this so i just want to thank you for your leadership and im proud to be a lead cosponsor on this. Supervisor mar. I just want to thank supervisor peskin and the office for your work on this and wed like to be added as a cosponsor. Supervisor ronen.

Madam clerk, lets go to roll call for introductions. Mr. President , you are up first to introduce new business. Thank you, very much, madam clerk. Colleagues, today im trying legislation to protect residents of multiunit housing from the Health Impacts of Secondhand Smoke exposure, earlier this year, we had a hearing at the Neighborhood Services committee on the Health Impacts of Secondhand Smoke and you heard the Secondhand Smoke exposure has skyrocketed in recent years and we have seen huge increases in secondhand vape marijuana exposure. My office received emails that reminded mreminded me they have Secondhand Smoke and we looked into creating an ordinance that would provide some protection. Here are a few facts. Smoking is a single most preventable cause of disease and death in the United States and its responsible for 480,000 and 480,000 deaths per year and Secondhand Smoke alone is responsible for more than 41,000 deaths per year and causes cancer, lung disease, and harms brains and heart functions and poses a increased health risk to children, seniors and those of existing Health Issues causing damage to children growing lungs, lung illnesses such as pneumonia, sudden infant death syndrome and make asthma attacks frequent and severe. Unfortunately, home is one of the most commonplaces where we can be exposed to Secondhand Smoke. Residents of multiunit housing are 3. 5 times more likely to be regularly exposed and right now San Francisco does so little to help residents avoid being exposed to Secondhand Smoke in their own homes and oir health code currently prohibits smoking in o common areas and multi unit housing but does not restrict residents have smoking in their own individual units. The problem is smoke easily uses between units and buildings and theres no way to contain it. This legislation would amend the health code to prohibit smoking inside owneroccupied and rented units of multiunit housing complexes of 30 or more units requiring that signage be posted in common areas and that residents are notified of the policy by the building even are or manager. The onus would direct the department of publichealth to conduct a Public Information campaign to raise awareness of the policy and share information about available sun sunnation for residents addicted to nicotine. Half of san franciscans live in multiunit housing. Residents of multi unit housing are more likely people of color and more likely to be low income and exposure to Secondhand Smoke impacts our most Vulnerable Community members. Providing relief out to residents living every day where Secondhand Smoke in their homes is more important than ever. As we continue to battle of covid19 pandemic and be prepared for few season. Secondhand smoke exacerbates the impact of these respiratory illnesses and during this time, why we have asked our assistance to say home to slow the spread of covid19 and asked children to go to school remotely in their own most likely their own homes and we know San Francisco can escape the smoke in their homes during the day and arent able to breathe clean air. If im a parent with a child who suffers from asthma, or a person recovering from covid19, right now i can get no help at all and if any neighbor is smoking every day right next door or downstairs. Its legal for anyone to smoke inside their own unit regardless of the serious and Dangerous Health consequences. We cant prioritize someones desire to smoke along to inaudible to breathe smokefree air. This is unacceptable. Over the past 10 years, 63 cities and counties in california have adopted 100 smokefree multi unit housing policies and including daily seed, south San Francisco, san mateo, richmond, emeryville and berkeley and i am hopeful such policies will increasingly be the norm in San Francisco we have historically taken our fights against big tobacco and Secondhand Smoke, we can protect our vulnerability communities from the devastating impacts of Secondhand Smoke and maybe well catch up with our cities that are our neighbors. The rest i submit. Thank you mr. President. Supervisor fewer. Yes, thank you very much, president yee. Please add me as a sponsor to your ordinance about Secondhand Smoke. Im excited to introduce legislation to create a Housing Inventory. Back in 1979, San Francisco adopted our rent ordinance to safeguard tenants from rent increases and since the ordinance allowed the city to regularly grant and has helped protect tenants from losing their homes because of real estate booms and gentrification but one thing the city lacks is an accurate inventory of the citys existing Housing Stock in order for the rent board to track landlordtenant and inspect Housing Services and restaurants and better administer the rent ordinance we need them to maintain existing rental Housing Stock and we have seen major changes in our rental Housing Market and some people unable to pay rent due to covid19 and many choosing to lead the city to it remotely and this is created more vacancies but we dont know where or how many. We know what asking rents look like but we dont know what actual rents look like for existing tenants. Maintaining an accurate Housing Inventory and tracking vacancy will help monitor compliance with laws against for corporate rental purposes and as well as identifying units that can be used in an emergency for Good Samaritan purposes and rent reporting could also be relevant to claims that they have imposed a bad faith rent increase to co horse a tenant to vacate and this will be used for purposes of inspecting and investigating the level of Housing Services being provided to tenants and rent ordinances and vacancies and analyzing vacancies and monetary compliance and generating resource in survey and provide ago cystance to landlords and tenants as needed by providing a accurate picture of our mental housing stop in San Francisco this is not only helping the rent board better do its job but provide additional benefits to other city departments as well. I would like to thank my early cosponsor. And all those who were in my office to develop this inventory that is long over dont i hope i can count on you for this support of the tool on the rent board. Thank you, the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor fewer. Supervisor haney. Thank you. Id love to be added to a cosponsor to the legislation she just introduced. And i submit. Ok. Thank you supervisor. Well make sure youre added. Supervisor mandelman. Submit. Thank you. Supervisor mar. Thank you, madam clerk. I would like to be added as a cosponsor to supervisor fewers Housing Inventory legislation and i have three items today. First im introducing an additional reenactment of publichealth emergency leave to maintain this benefit for a further 60 days as the publichealth emergency continues and second, ill calling for a hearing on the budget and legislative annalist performance audit of the office of economic and Workforce Development planning for large scale projects for the Economic Impacts on surrounding businesses, across the city, we are doing essential work to improve transit and replace and water lines and more and this is disruptive to our Small Businesses who are imperilled by the pandemic and publichealth orders and the bla conducted an audit of how oewd plans to help mitigate construction on Small Businesses last year and weve never held a public hearing on it and this is long overdue and timely given the new challenges Small Businesses are facing and im calling on a meet and confer obligations and practices with the Police Officers association including the threshold for determining when meeting confess required. We have heard loud and clear to have an open and transparent dialogue but when we enter into meet and confer, why we do and what is at stake when it happens. Well be able to discuss this at thursdays gao meeting when the memorandum of understanding with the poa is considered and i wanted to ensure we have a chance to have a focused discussion on this topic which this year will provide. The rest i submit. Thank you supervisor mar. Supervisor peskin. I would like to join supervisor ronen in a matter that she is about to announce with regard to a change in the boards practices of getting every meeting but ill let supervisor ronen speak to that and the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor preston. Submit. Thank you. Supervisor ronen. Thank you, supervisor. Peskin for that introduction and im just going to speak quickly about this because we will be hearing it during committee but today, supervisor peskin and i are interesting a motion to amend the rules at the board of supervisors and adding a new rule that would require the president of the board to read a statement acknowledging the community of San Francisco during at fuel Public Meetings at this board. November is ma native American Heritage month when we must celebrate contributions of the native people, but also engage in recognizing the generations of harm caused to native communities at the hands of our own government institutions. Its undeniable that our own city of San Francisco has been complicit in the marginalization of native people from promoting culturally offensive art work, staff, treats and mondayments that represent native americans to the systematic underfunding of American Indian organizations. Today and everyday the board of supervisors has a responsibility to honor the first people of San Francisco by recognizing their continued and relationship to the land of which we are guests. However, we understand that it is not enough. I look forward to working with the American IndianCommunity Leaders to push for greater Political Representation and funding support for American Indian arson cultural projects that bring healing and create Greater Public awareness of the present and historical contributions of native American People to the culture of San Francisco and the bay area. I would like to express my deepest appreciation to greg castro of the association. And sha rye a of the American Indian cultural district for their work on developing the statement and their tireless advocacy on behalf of the San FranciscoAmerican Indian community. I am going to send this item to committee so we can have a full hearing and discuss the language that to be read at every meeting and the American Indian community is working also with the Human Rights Commission on a similar statement to be read at all hearings and committee and boards and commission bodies in San Francisco. This is an effort happening across the city and i look forward to engaging in the discussion here at the board and if i can hand it back to supervisor peskin. Clerk supervisor peskin. Thank you, supervisor ronen. I want to add this is something that a handful of state agencies have already undertaken in my two years and couple months on the coastal commission, we actually adopted this and its an agency that actually moves up and down the coast from the north coast all the way down to the border of mexico and in each and every place, the chair of that body would acknowledge the native peoples and thank them for allowing us to be on their lands. So, i really want to thank the native communities that brought this to supervisor ronen and myself and greg castro in particular, and due to deliberation committee, look forward to this being the new way we start each and every meeting of the San Francisco board of supervisors. Ok. Thank you supervisor peskin. Thank you ronen. Next up is supervisor safai. Superivsor safai submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor. I would like to adjourn todays meeting in horn of a san franciscan who we lost too soon after a fight with aml leukemia and Linda Squires growy. She spent her life here.

This is an important strategy to reduce the exposure to Secondhand Smoke which can have an immediate effect on the cardiovascular system and long term exposure is associated with the 25 to 30 increased risk for coronary Heart Disease in adults nonsmokers. The evidence is clear is that theres no safe level of exposure to Secondhand Smoke and everyone should be allowed to breathe clean air, particularly in their home. Thank you for considering this ordinance. Clerk thank you to the caller. Sorry about that, didnt mean to step on your toes. Okay, operations, please unmute the next caller. Caller my name is bob gordon and im cochair of the San Francisco tobaccofree coalition and i want to thank norman yee for his leadership and legacy of helping San Francisco to become a healthier place for all, protecting san franciscans from toxic Secondhand Smoke. Only some of us who live here in San Francisco are luckyive in to have clean air to breathe in our apartments and homes but it shouldnt be a matter of luck. All san franciscans, especially the most vulnerable among us, such as seniors and pthose living with lung disease and those with compromised immune systems such as h. I. V. And cancer and those at risk of covid19 and other conditions deserve to dwell in residences from dangerous drifting smoke. Thank you so much. Clerk thank you so much for your comments. All right, we have 12 listeners on the line. Operations, please unmute the next caller. Caller good afternoon, supervisors. Im liz williams for americans for nonsmokers rights. And thank you, president yee for having this ordinance. This would be a great way to reduce the exposure for Secondhand Smoke for those living in apartments and condos. Its helpful for the children and seniors and people with Health Issues, especially with conditions like asthma. Having a smokefree residence environment is even more important now that covid19 means that people are spending so much more time at home instead of spending their days in smokefree schools or smokefree residences. And we want all to have a Healthy Living environment that includes the right to breathe, especially at home. So its never been a better time to protect the health of our communities, especially for residents who are already facing Health Disparities that are being exacerbated by drifting Secondhand Smoke and covid19. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments, caller. Operations, please unmute the next caller. Caller im speaking on the findings for 1846 grove street. I urge you to reject the findings before you today because they are not supported by the preponderance of the everyday. In fact, theyre supported by no credible evidence. If the concern was about safety, why were d. B. I. And fire not present for the hearing . Were they invited . When they were found not to be present, why was the hearing not continued . The District Supervisor shut down the request to call the departments. The result is that the number of homes that could be built on this vast parcel was reduced from four to two. So youre going to have more expensive homes here surrounded by acreage where you could have had four smaller homes, accessible for middleclass families. How does this improve Housing Affordability . I urge you to reject the findings, reopen the hearing, invite the departments, read the code analysis, and then make your decision. Your constituents care about housing. Clerk thank you for your comments. Operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller good afternoon. My name is kalan killy and im the vicechair of the tobaccofree coalition. Im calling to thank president yee for his timely introduction of the smokefree multihousing ordinance. In 2011, a vicious fire started by the dropping of a cigarette ravaged an Apartment Building in the tenderloin. It caused 250,000 dollars in structural damage, not to mention the displacement of vulnerable residents. The adverse impact of this event was compounded by the utilization of the San FranciscoFire Department resources. The acknowledgement of these finite resources is also very timely as Northern California continues to have its Fire Department resources stretched thin due to the onset of the unprecedented wildfires. I thank you again, president yee, for this most timely ordinance. Clerk thank you, sir, for your comments. Okay, operations, please unmute the next caller. Caller my name is herbert minor. Basically the program essentially is going to add to the congestion with traffic. And while it may be necessary in the pandemic, it certainly should not be permanent. It is really due to poor planning and its observingally aimed against automobiles which are forms of transportation. Now if youre concerned about bringing in automobiles, what you should do is initiate the indiscernible thats legitimate. But for heavens sakes, dont limit it to automobile traffic that will add to the congestion indiscernible on california streets. Please do not indiscernible the overall indiscernible is going to be a nightmare. M. T. A. Celebrates halloween every day because every day for m. T. A. Is indiscernible . Thank you. Clerk all right, caller, just for future callers, the m. T. A. Appeals have been continued to november 10th. So there cannot be any Public Comment on the m. T. A. Appeal this is afternoon. But i didnt want to interrupt the caller so he could get his comments out there and we could just reaffirm to the members of the public listening. Okay, operations, lets please hear from the next caller. Caller good afternoon. This is anastasia, im a tenant and a member of the San Francisco tenants union. Im calling to thank supervisor fewer for introducing legislation to create a Housing Inventory. Tracking vacancies and analyzing rent vacancies to have an accurate picture what we have here in San Francisco is what we need. Putting it at the rent board would make it accessible, and i am encouraged that so many other supervisors have already signed on as cosponsors. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller hello, my name is john wondo. And i am a minister in district 8. Im calling to ask the board of supervisors to please reject the racist Police OfficersAssociation Contract renegotiation and to call a public hearing to provide transparency in the future Contract Negotiations. This summer tens of thousands of people hit the streets of San Francisco demanding the end of Police Violence. But nothing has really changed. Just this past month afpd hunted down mr. Vargas, a man this crisis, and killed him in the streets. Despite wide made demands for a transformation for Public Safety, the contract perpetuates the racist status quo. It gives sfpd two additional years of raises and offers no policy concessions to prevent the officers from killing yet another person. It also adds a clause that gives them benefits earned by city workers that create Public Safety, like nurses, teachers and other essential workers. Across the country, cities are beginning to hold police fraternities accountable. In chicago, theres negotiations with their Police Fraternity and theyre asking for 40 disciplinary reforms and had all negotiations in public. Philadelphia even passed a law prohibiting the contract talks with their Police Fraternity clerk thank you, sir. Thank you for your comments. Okay, operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller hello. My name is margaret and i live in district 7. Im calling to demand that the board of supervisors reject the racist Police OfficersAssociation Contract negotiations and call a public hearing to provide transparency into the teacher Contract Negotiations. This renegotiation is exactly what the p. O. A. Wants. They get two additional years of racism and it locks in their accountability through 2023. Any new contract requires them to not harm our communities. And why are we asking for nor negotiations after another killing a Police Killing of a man in crisis less than a month ago. 76 of these forces and acts of violence were against people of color. They still point their guns at people 2. 4 times a day and indiscernible and less than 30 from 2016. And reject the contract and make all teacher negotiations public. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. We have about 16 listeners on the line. If youre interested in making Public Comment press star, 3. Welcome, caller. Youll have one minute to make your comments today. Operations . Caller good afternoon. This is regina eastbox, district 3, and like the previous callers making commentary on the p. O. A. Negotiations, they must be public. I participated in all of the b. O. S. Calls over the summer, thousands of people called in. Youve got a paltry 25 million reduction while we still have Law Enforcement officers in schools. We dont have adequate counsel ors. We dont have library services. Mental health services. Affordable housing. This is ridiculous. There must be public p. O. A. Hearings and when i look at comparisons to chicago, chicago which is in negotiations right now they have asked for 40 concessions. And where are we, San Francisco . Supposedly a an avantgarde politically progressive city. This has to stop. These hearings need to be public. We need transparency. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Okay, operations, lets unmute the next caller. Welcome, caller. You will have one minute. Thank you. Caller can you hear me now . Clerk yes, we can. Caller it is mr. Pelbell. Board file 202118. On that i require a City Attorney memo from years ago and i think that the conclusion of that is that the industry administrator has the naming authority for spaces within city hall. So perhaps you want to consider amending the item to so indicate because it currently urges that the space be renamed. But perhaps mentioning the city administrator specifically with that authority would help. I dont know. But i support item 30 and the proposed press room renaming. I think that its an entirely appropriate honor for barbara taylor. Thank you very much. Clerk thank you for your comments. Fly ththrough the clerk and president , noted and i will now amend. Clerk okay, operations, lets hear from the next caller. We have about 14 listeners in the queue. Caller hi, my name is gracie and i live and work in San Francisco. I grew up in San Francisco. I have been evicted here and ive also been jailed. I am calling to demand that the board of supervisors reject the racist Police Officer association and to call for a hearing to provide transparency into future Contract Negotiations. Standing up to our citys racist Police Fraternity and reject the contract and make all future negotiations public. This negotiation is exactly what the p. O. A. Wants. They get two additional years of locking in their lack of transparency and accountability through 2023 and sets them up to negotiate their next contract in a Mayoral Election year when theyll have more leverage. Stand up to the racist p. O. A. The attempted legal action to prohibit the officers from shooting at moving cars which is how sfpd murdered jessica williams. And the use of the restraint which killed eric garner. And this past june they threatened a lawsuit to kneel on the necks of san franciscans. Weeks after that the same move killed george floyd. The community should have input. P. O. A. Policies are a matter of life and death for black and brown san franciscans. Chicago is in the middle of negotiating its Police Fraternity contract and theyre asking for 40 disciplinary concessions. Why is San Francisco not asking for concessions even after months of protest against Police Violence and another Police Killing of a man in crisis less than a month ago. The sfpd have the level of antiblack bias is seen as extreme. Last year black people only made up 5 of the citys population but accounted for 40 of all police searches and 50 of the jail population. In q4 last year, black latin san franciscans made up 45 clerk thank you for your comments. Thank you for your comments, maam. Okay, were doing one minute today just for the listeners who might have just come into the queue. I think that there are about 17 of you in the queue. Were doing one minute today. Operations, please unmute the next caller. Caller hi, i am an educator and a youth worker who lives and works in San Francisco. Im also calling to demand the board of supervisors to reject the racist p. O. A. Contract. And for the public to hold hearings on future negotiations. We are aware that police fraternities are dangerous. A study found that violent misconduct with the sheriff officers increased about 40 after they were allowed to unionize. We have seen that collective bargaining rights protect officers to be discriminatory against people of color. We have seen in San Francisco itself how violent against people of color, against people who are experiencing homelessness and against our vulnerable populations that police are able to be. And these renegotiations are only protecting that. It is ridiculous that after months of protests against Police Violence that this is even a conversation being had. In the future all of these conversations need to be held in public and there need to be comments to give input and to hold officers accountable. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. Okay, operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller hi,my name is mimi klaus and i have lived in district 9 for 35 years. I call to demand that the board of supervisors reject the p. O. A. Contract and to call a public hearing to provide transparency and to the future Contract Negotiations. And were not getting anything. This is absurd. There must be policy concessions in any new p. O. A. Contract. As other callers have said, chicago is in the middle of negotiating its Police Fraternity krsht and theyre asking for 40 disciplinary concessions. I have to ask, why is San Francisco asking for no policy concessions, even after months of protests against Police Violence . And yet another Police Killing of a man in crisis less than a month ago. I was not happy that the board accepted a Police Budget with very few changes. Please stand up to the mayor now and dont get me going about d. H. R. If there isnt a more corrupt and racist city department, i dont know. And its absolutely unacceptable that k. H. R. Is the department that has had, you know, in making the decisions about this contract. So stand up, please. Clerk okay, thank you for your comments. All right, operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller hello, my name is jasmine, district 9. Im here to demand that the board reject the p. O. A. Contract and to call a public hearing to provide transparency into the future Contract Negotiations. My dear friend derek gains was 15 years old when he was executed by officer joshua calvillo in south San Francisco. And calvillo was then hired to sfpd as soon as he arrived and has used Excessive Force on multiple occasions and because of the corrupt p. O. A. And s. F. , cops like calvillo continue to terrorize the community. We should not make over 200,000 a year. By not rejecting the contract its saying that their lives matter more than ours. Its confirm that we know that cops beat and kill us and get raises. And reject this p. O. A. Contract and make all future negotiations public. And so the community can have input. And its a matter of life and death and black and brown san franciscans. Clerk thank you, thank you for your comments. All right, operations, lets hear from the incom next caller, please. Welcome, caller. Caller hi there. Im a 15year resident of district 9 and i work in district 10. Im calling in regard to the p. O. A. Contract and the manner in which these negotiations have taken place. The police serve the public and, therefore, are accountable to the public. Continuing to negotiate the p. O. A. Contracts behind closed doors is inappropriate and a decision to continue to support this system and structure is an act of racism itself. The p. O. A. Contract is the mechanism by which discrimination practices are allowed to be reproduced in our society. please stand by this is a severe misallocations resources but its much worse because the p. O. A. Shields officers from accountable when they commit the worse offenses. All future negotiations should be held in public and once again at this time, the board of supervisors must reject this contract. I yield my time. Clerk thank you, caller. Operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller hi, i am a resident of district 6. Previous callers, many of the previously callers im calling on and i want to call on the board of supervisors to reject this renegotiated p. O. A. Contract for the any kind of change to the racist status quo. Its the mockery of the system the way its negotiated. Not even the chief of police new this contract is being renegotiated. Its all happening behind closed doors as a way to sort of like massage the numbers on the mayors budget where she can defund the police and hand them tens and millions of dollars and raises over the next three years and locking in no accountability and if you pass this it sets a precedent of the wave and the board of supervisors will have no input on to any future p. O. A. Conflict. Thank you for your comments, sir. Ok, operations, lets hear from the next caller. Welcome, caller. Hello, my name is hassan and inaudible . First of all, i would like to say that something at the conversation and this vote is incredible underfund because theres a inaudible going on. Also, im calling to demand the board of supervisors to reject the inaudible Association Contract and row negotiations held public during to provide future contributions and this summer tens of thousands of people hit the streets of San Francisco and demanding inaudible but nothing changes. Nothing has changed and actually the past month, sfpd has hunted down another person of our community and a man in crisis and called him in the street and im emotional here. Despite the widespread demands for our approach Public Safety the appeals contract status quo. Thank you, sir. Its all right, we appreciate your emotion. Theres a lot at stake. Operations, lets welcome the next caller, please. Caller hi, my name is amanda and i live in district 1. Like a lot of other people i am calling they reject the p. O. A. Renegotiation and call public hearing to call transparency to future Contract Negotiations and it seems odd that its happening today and the election and we want more public transparency through negotiations and its exactly what the p. O. A. Wants and they get two additional raises and transparency and accountability and sets them up to negotiate in the next contract and the Mayoral Election year when they have more leverage and they have policies and con sexe concessioy p. O. A. Contract and they have movement to defund the police and this would mean a great step to doing that. Nothing changes unless we make changes that have Financial Impact and passing the contract is a pass for police stand up to the contract and headache all future negotiations. Thank you for your comments. Operations, lets unmute the next caller. Caller hi, my name is jacks. I live in district 10. And i worked in district 6 and district 3. Im calling to demand that the board of supervisors, like everyone else before me or like many before me, reject the Police OfficersAssociation Contract renegotiation and call a public hearing to provide transparency into future Contract Negotiations. A former member of local of 665 and a daughter of three generations of unionized teachers. Coming from a union family i do not see police i fraternity as d study have found that collective bargaining rights are being used to protect the ability of officers to discriminate in the dis purchasdisproportionate pol. I watched the police harass neighbors once a week and it was shameful that the bad officers will be protected and up lifted by this contract. The p. O. A. Contract negotiations need to be held publicly and if not held publicly, then not. Thank you for your comments. Operations, lets unmute the next caller, please. Caller good afternoon. My name is alexander post. Im a resident of district 10. Im also a member of case, which is a union of california attorneys government attorneys including the drj, parole board, et cetera. The p. O. A. Is for years spent the resources you provide them to pervert justice not further it. And we worked so hard to stop the p. O. A. s half a Million Dollar campaign to strip the Police Commission of oversight of use of force. They do not spend is that amount of money on trying to further reform and in fact they fight those reforms in court. So, i call on you to reject this contract, call a public hearing, no more negotiating our safety behind closed doors. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. We really appreciate all the callers trying to limit their timeframe to one minute. We very much appreciate trying to figure in all of this Public Comment and be able to conduct our civic duty and vote. All right. So next caller, please. Caller good afternoon, supervisors. I wanted to call and request that we defund the police and we address the systematic racism in our police department. And towards that end i want to take a careful note to notice how many people are around and on a regular basis contributing to this movement. Im very thankful for their support. The thing i want to say is this moment is unique. This Police Negotiation is unique and while weve heard from our supervisors for years now, that things needed to change and for years the p. O. A. Is awful and a chants at our death penality to fuck the p. O. A. When it comes a moment when we have public support and we have people standing there and we need change. Youve said it, weve said it, everyone has said it. This is that moment. Accepting this contract without change precludes the progress that the politicians to the local people have been crying as desperately necessary. We need to adjust the contract and we need to open this process to Community Input and quite frankly, this one minute of time isnt sufficient thank you, sir. Understood. Thank you. Operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller hello, my name is toby. I am in district 8 and yeah, this has to take place in a public discussion. I mean, if we just take a look at chicago, theyre in the middle of ro renegotiating their Police Contract and theyre asking for 40 disciplinary concessions and why is San Francisco is asking for no concessions even after months of protests. This is crazy. This is exactly what the p. O. A. Wants. And yeah, its got to be held in public so the community can have input and yeah, this has to be held in public. Thats all, i yield my time. Thank you, caller. Thank you for your comments. Operations, lets hear from the next speaker. Caller dean. You guys have put quite a motley crew together to call in. Pretty impressive. They are all thoroughly a bunch of nut sacks. All right. So, thank you, caller for your comments. Operations, do we have another caller on the line, please . Caller this is toby from district 8. Theres a mistake. I already had a comment with respect thank you for your comment, sir. Ok. Operations, is there another caller on the line . Caller my name is lawrence and i live and district in district 9. Like so many of my fellow san france i demand the board reject the p. O. A. Contract renegotiations and call public hearings for transparency into future Contract Negotiations. This renegotiation is a sweat heart deal for the p. O. A. They get raises guaranteed at a time that other city workers are being told to tighten their belts due to the pandemic. Their lack of transparency and accountability through 2023 and what is distressing is this renegotiation has a parity clause which gives the p. O. A. Benefits earned by other city workers but actually providing safety and services that we need. Its pretty straight forward stand up group p. O. A. Reject this renegotiated contract and fight the good fight for a safer city when the current contract expires and just be brave. Thank you. Thank you, for your comments. We have 14 listeners. If you are one of the 14, press star 3 and that will get you into the queue. All right, operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller my name is joannie and i live and work in district 6. Im also calling to demand the board of supervisors project the rates of the Police Officer association renegotiation and call on public hearing to provide transparency into future Contract Negotiations. Negotiations should be held in public so the community can input a c. O. A. Policy on matter of life and death for so many san franciscans and as i recall other cities like chicago, are in the middle of row negotiating contracts and asking for a concession so why progressive city like San Francisco not asking for any policy concessions and if you consider yourself a progressive, supervisors, do the progressive thing and listen to your constituents and stand up to the p. O. A. And let us in on the process. Its important we make change and dont keep on living like that, especially during these times. Thank you for your comments. So, operations, lets hear from the next caller, please. Caller my name is sean titus and im a residen resident of d. Especially now we need to extract concessions from the rates of p. O. A. But the Bar Association found the new m. O. U. That extends the contract is not advance any of the objectives of the collaborative reform processes. For years the p. O. Has ha been abusing and confer and instead of doing anything to remedy this, it locks in the existing policies while giving an additional two years of raises to the police. Police associations have been found to exacerbate Police Violence to lock in the status quote for two years after sfpd murdered someone is unthinkable. The other callers mentioned we can look to negotiations in chicago, for inspiration to see real change is possible and it starts by rejecting this renegotiated contract. Following that, the board much hold h. R. Accountable in those negotiations and all future negotiations must be held publicly. Thank you. Clerk thank you for your comments. All right. Operations, lets unmute the next caller. Welwelcome, caller. Caller hi, my name is catalina and i live and work in district 4. Im calling to demand the board of supervisors reject the racist p. O. A. Contract Renewal Association and call a public hearing to provide transparency into future Contract Negotiations. This negotiation is exactly what the p. O. A. Wants and they get two years of raises and lock in transparency and accountability to the 2023 and sets them up to negotiate the next contract in the Mayoral Election year when they have more leverage. Stand up to the racist p. O. A. Why is San Francisco asking for no policy concessions even after months of protest against Police Violence and yet another Police Killing of a man in crisis less than a month ago. Across countries, cities, police if certain tease are being held accountable and in chicago negotiations with the police, theyre asking for 40 disciplinary forms and have all negotiations in public. Philadelphia passed a law prohibiting contract talks with their Police Attorney until the public hearing takes place and Community Demands incorporate into negotiation. It is your responsibility, supervisors, to prevent sfpd from operating in the shadows. Do the right thing. Clerk thank you for your comments. Lets welcome the next caller, please. Caller hi, im calling to demand the board of supervisors project the p. O. A. Contract negotiation. And call a public hearing to provide trance transparency into future Contract Negotiations. Ronen, i appreciate your celebrating wins on twitter and i hope you are listening please address your comment to the board as a whole. Address your comments. Board as a whole, i think that were all very excite today say bye, whether he is gone or not with the p. O. A. Contract is still going to exist black and brown folk will be targeted and support will still be criminalized. I know you mean well but i invite you to think critically and live by what you say and who we should be supporting. And thats marginalized in the press to have the right to live dignified lives. They have a salute of the use of power and to call out that violence is violence and abuse that all employ in the communities. What better time. What a better time now to stand up to the racist p. O. A. Anti bias training for police doesnt work because police inaudible . Thank you for your comments. Operations, lets unmute the next caller, please. Caller hello. Welcome, caller. Caller hi. My name is lawyer and i live in district 8 and im also calling to urge the board of supervisors to reject this p. O. A. Contract and we should have full public hearings before any kind of renegotiation. Its very important we get meaning. Policy concessions like other cities have done. Thank you, bye. Thank you for your comments. Operations, lets unmute the next caller, please. Caller before i start, i want to ask that after im done that the clerk gives us an update on the queue and continuous updates on that. Thats all, thank you. My name is emily and i live in district 9. Im demand the board reject the racist p. O. A. Contract renegotiations and culture future negotiations to be public. This Contract Negotiation is an act of violence towards black, indigenous and brown lives and the un they marched in the streets in the names of black lives matter and when can he called into the previously medicine and told you to cut the budget one discuss was the p. O. A. Contract prevented you from certain cuts. You did nothing. Any attempt to rubber stamp this contract is complicity with the system of Police Violence. Earlier this month, sfpd, or last month, sfpd shot and killed a man in crisis in the streets. So White Supremacists police if certainty is defending this murder. You want to rubber stamp that and defend them. Across the country theyre holding Police Fraternity as count able and have negotiations with their Police Fraternity theyre asking for disciplinary reforms. Thank you so much for your comments.

All of the gardens are volunteers. The only requirement is youre willing to show your garden for a day. So we have gardens that vary from all stages of development and all gardens, family gardens, private gardens, some of them as small as postage stamps and others pretty expansive. Its a variety all of the world is represented in our gardens here in the portola. I have been coming to the portola garden tour for the past seven or eight years ever since i learned about it because it is the most important event of the neighborhood, and the reason it is so important is because it links this neighborhood back to its history. In the early 1800s the portola was farmland. The regions flowers were grown in this neighborhood. If you wanted flowers anywhere future bay area, you would come to this area to get them. In the past decade, the area has tried to reclaim its roots as the garden district. One of the ways it has done that is through the portola garden tour, where neighbors open their gardens open their gardens to people of San Francisco so they can share that history. When i started meeting with the neighbors and seeing their gardens, i came up with this idea that it would be a great idea to fundraise. We started doing this as a fundraiser. Since we established it, we awarded 23 scholarships and six work projects for the students. The Scholarship Programs that we have developed in association with the portola is just a winwinwin situation all around. The Scholarship Program is important because it helps people to be able to tin in their situation and afford to take classes. I was not sure how i would stay in San Francisco. It is so expensive here. I prayed so i would receive enough so i could stay in San Francisco and finish my school, which is fantastic, because i dont know where else i would have gone to finish. The scholarships make the difference between students being able to stay here in the city and take classes and having to go somewhere else. [ ] [ ] you come into someones home and its theyre private and personal space. Its all about them and really their garden and in the city and urban environment, the garden is the extension of their indoor environment, their Outdoor Living room. Why are you here at this garden core . Its amazing and i volunteer here every year. This is fantastic. Its a beautiful day. You walk around and look at gardens. You meet people that love gardens. Its fantastic. The portola garden tour is the last saturday in september every year. Mark your calendars every year. You can see us on the website
