You mirecall the board adopted a resolution calling for this. Thank you for your support on this. After more then and there i year of advocacy the California Department of General Service left thursday issued a request for Housing Developers to submit plans for a mixed use development on the dmv site. Paving the ways for nuchl Affordable Homes with a revamped dmv field office this is a huge win for Affordable Housing. Together with member ting. Our offices lead the effort to convert this huge state owned ping lot to affordable is a perfect opportunity to go big on creating homes for working families in San Francisco. Inspect00 autoresolution we had at the board was in november of 2022. Urged state officials to prioritize Affordable Housing on the site, at the time, the state was prepare to redevelop the dm very close field Office Without housing on the site. This board went head and, proved the resolution unanimously calling for Affordable Housing to be on that site. Upon since we have been working with member. Ting and representatives from the state agencies. Thats department of General Services president d. Motor vehicle in january dmv released rfi to gij if there was interests for housing development. On this lot. And there was a positive response.

I talk about the Biggest Challenges facing our city. Many of you have been involved in this. Collective low we engaged on this. This is homelessness. And the city is become sliding on key issue we care b. I think that it hen successful a program we know ws to get people off. Streets. Some of you know i worked with the mayor newsome and sought benefits of Cost Effective program. Home ward bound. It is auneified homeless with family and loved 1s to provide support in i program this allowed them to get become to their support network. With loved once. This administration tried to sunset the program. Back in march. And there was an oped done by an individual in the community and called out the majors office and the mayor directly had a press release saying the program was and 2 days after that announce am the program was restored. Lets see the result fist this time. Now near low 7 months later the d. Homelessness Supportive Housing said the Program Ended on the website. My understanding Human Services picked this up. But i think it is time to the legislate it and put it in the code with one simple idea. If you come to San Francisco and things dont w out, of course San Francisco will do everything we can to support. But one of those mechanisms is helping people get back in touch with and have the transportation to get become with their loved ones. We need to do this. After all it is less expensive and many of the othering interventions and frees slots for those here this dont have this support throughout in their network. Im submitting a request to the City Attorney to draft request of the home worried bound from make an a part of our code and require that the city funding agencies dealing with this program with homelessness makes the clients aware of the program and specify the agency in charge of determining eligibility and delivering results. With that, actually. Today. I have a memory as well. Colleagues i like to adjourn todays hearing in memory artist coop are junior passod september 15th.

I know my colleagues and i are desperate for solutions to ensure this san franciscans feel safe in all neighborhood in our city. Each year we lose many receives to retirement and other counties and our hiring process not able to keep up with the losses. One way to stop the pleading of officers from force and aid and recruit am of new officer system to ensure this serve nothing our police and work for all lifestyles. Serving as a Public Safety officer has not been wing for women and for mothers. Women are not prosecute moted at the same rate as men and working pirnts are not given the opportunity to as well a consistent schedule.

First, thank you at this time board for giving us an opportunity to update and you public on where we are on our reform. A lot of work hen done beaut still have w to dom we had the pleasure of having mr. Kirby from [inaudible]. One of our independent review and the California Department of just who have an over site per in. We will start the presentation out by allowing mrs. Kirby an opportunity to peek for the w we are doing when remain and we will be here for answering what questions you may have or comments you may have after she speaks. Thank you. Good afternoon. I have a power point for the council. The reason we are here to talk about the pregnant way to reform in San Francisco. When is collaborative reform. My company and im here buzz we were the original per ins to this work by the u. S. Department of justice in 2016. At that time, our work we worked with almost 12 assessors looking over data for 6 montes and developed a report published that had 272 recommendations and over 94 findings. When we talk about jensen hughes, our company is comp prized of experts on the front line of mreegs, cross the country and also as lawyers and people interested in criminal justice reform. Our company worked with doj and continues to. Conducted after action assessment in minneapolis and louisville. In california we ton work in multiple cities including San Francisco, bakers field and the valleto andtorience to name a few. In 2016 following a death of wodz at the hands of police use of force. Then the chief and mayor lee asked the u. S. Department of justice to conduct an assessment of the organization. That lead to finds thinks and based where the department was at that time of it was published intent to go forward under the direction of the u. S. D. Justice and agreed to by theed city and the department. When we talk about when that outcome was it was about what are the key issue in policing and issues we face. And not just here in San Francisco. We looked at issues of use force and police and community religion, organizational account at and personnel practice. And so those other issues we affect organization in 2016 and today 7 years later. Next slide. Will challenge presented with the review was that the San Francisco Police Department had gaps in the ability to assess and engage in the type of reform actions required. In 2018, enemied of actions by department the doj with drew support cops program as a result of change in policing focus by the then republican administration. Leaders thought the California Department of justice and helping to move forward on the commitment to enengage and reform in San Francisco. California department of justice agreed entered in the agreement and my company did the w this we had done on assessment and engageed monitor implementation. The initial implementation covered 3 years and result in the 3 reports all public low listed on the departments website. The most significant out economist 3 year work was the reduction and use of force. Training and the focus and perspective of the organization and how it addressed the use of force. In 2016. Sanctity of life was a concept for most. Today this happened is in the the case. San francisco was in the forefront at that time. The city and the department committed to the concept. It provided training tooek techniques to officers we see today. San francisco is the first departments to enengage in crisis intervention training for recruit and monday tory for supervisor this is is important buzz the connectivity with Mental Health and use of force identified the as a result of the Data Analysis that was gone under the early stages of reform and continues to this day. These actions again supported by Data Analysis and informed strategies [inaudible]. Disparities continue there is are challenge and they exist in San Francisco and other cities. The early commitment helped get ahead of that. The current fadz addresses the w this did in the finish the 3 years of reform how many what number of recommendations are done. This is a focus here as limp had this work is addressing can multilevel. One it is grouping reportedations and plans they were envisions scope and folk us and strategy how can the dppt move forward . And and looking at sustain ability. When we close the level 3 or phase 3 in official 2022 the department had committed and received the compliance from the California Department of justice on a number of recommendations this phase is going to go back and dip sample the recommendations marked complete and ensure the department is maintaining commitment to obtain compliance and moving forward with its commitment to the community. So, when we look at the 5 project plans there is a focus use of force, and biassed. And effort under way in management within the d. Use of force is important it translates to more lives saved and helps officers understand the tool we as residents of the country give them in the ability to use force against citizens. For the department, than i are looking at improving the data capture and analysis around use force that information is being used to help inform and develop training to help them maintain safety and visibility and also to ensure that they understand had are the factors that come to play. The department is examining recent officer shooting ings dents and bricking those down to parts to identify where and thou they train officers to respond to better identify and assess risks moving forward in the department. The other outcome we are seeing not necessarily a measure of this phase but out economist an organization on improve and look to sustain reforms are changes in policies. This Department Published its disengage am policy and one of the few are organization in thes country and the only major city as San Francisco of having such pomps ability to ensure that officers are told as a matter of policy but want to you engage. They have got guide lines on how that exteriors it is important. Tell is part of the sxejz the focus of the officers. Other thing we look at is the goal here is to not only impelement the initial recommendations but to build want concepts of Public Safety and account at and community input. The other project plan is community mroegs project planful during phase 3, covid had an impact on the ability to have thoughtful conversations with the community at large. The department developed i plan and wed enengages we all did and learnd and dig tell reality. But not over all goals under the original agreement. So that is a project plan. The chief and the department w on enengaging those Cross Sectional groups within San Francisco. Neighborings, communities and advocates to work on key issues that affect them and affect us as a community. The other project spln one i think is burglar to be the most interesting. Challenging and the most ino i havive to come out. And understand had when we look at level of forced decrease in the city that is innovative. The management dash board is under take to address and reflect the findings of the disparity and policing in San Francisco. The ability to,000, get in where and how it happen in detail that inform analysis is key. The dash board developed will bring Management Information allow and inform managers to engij in decisions and strategies crime fight and Personnel Management something you dont hear you know when we tuck about policing. So the Department Works through this recommendation. The series of recommendations. Through a projected plan that will cull machinate in an evaluation. The goal there is increased transz paraphernalias and knowledge and, wear knows and the ability to trans lit what is learned through the data and to support for prescriptions. We have seen with use of force in the tactic operation unit. As we look where we are. This w is not easy. Reality about Police Reform or transformation. That is what this is. The department is attempt to prescriptionalize the goals establish in the 2016 to the reality today. When we got here in 2016 we expected know advanced it system we did in the find that. Department has advanced Data Collection and appetite t. Informs and drives strategies and decision based on data captured. Other thing co is the San Francisco Police Department statute only department to committed volunteer to engage in this program. This work occurs under consent decrease. Court is hopefuleding to you a task and you have to do so. Under self driven reform you deal with daily. Balanceing demand off this demand and the ability tom have longterm vow within your organization gets tasked from time to time. Had we locked at progress the things i say is this we the w this has been done here in terms of use force is significant. It changed the environment in San Francisco. Now for everybody, and not all the time. We are seeing improve ams. The project plans a Good Management concept over time continue be the way this organization looks how it props things rather then and there sing lawyer. How do iling those to improve where we want to be and go. I think the management dash board once it is finalized and delivered will be an opportunity for Police Nothing San Francisco and the country and focus on sustainability the department is attempt to operationalize to transformation part of daily policing. What are challenges . Resourcing. This daily fight where the department is making decisions about who guess where and when gets responded to. The poles of resourcing are real. It requires folk xus data and compliance. We stheen in this case the mmth dash board stands to deliver on a number and the wait department positions itself in how it is managing people and, countable to the community. Time line this is the project set to conclude in april of 24 there is alost work left. Department hen wing on it progress is there but in the where we like to see temperature we know more in december and anticipate for the most part with exception of the challenges the department be successful in achieving goal and 2 the w around policy and how that impacts the department and community but this is an issue we identified and 2016. And issue this continues today. Policy in san does in the move in the way it can and should with the revisions example so those are dwlirs well look at under this phase and reporting this. Identifying the solutions. And so im standing here but know this behind this project stanlsd the california ag the work here vetd and approved and reviewed by the California Department of justice, there is inspect review of this programful our job is to ensure that we are able to monitor and report and measure when the department is doing and this we are able to provide technical assistance. I think when we talk about San Francisco there are a couple of things this should be recognized this it is tirnl low driven the city and the upon Department Success early on was the decision to establish a bureau that was in place to ensure the reforms are measured and implemented throughout the organization. 7 years later, every supervisor in the department understands when is trans furthermoration is and than i are, wear of the requirements under aspects of this reform. A collaborative approach. Doj and the community here the department seek input of stake holds in way its did in the do before that is progress. Sometimes painful butt way this policing is improve nothing San Francisco. The organizational investment has been impressive from what we saw initial low to today. People ino have a, identify and address and assess where they want to be as an organization. I think this we were here for a site visit last week. That was good. But what i can say is that reform is not final. Policing has challenges. Continuously. In a city that can identify it have i strategy to address those and move forward to improve when needs to be improved is critical to success longterm and is the type of policing the original report in 2016 was looking for San Francisco. I open up to questions you may have. Crothank you for this thorough presentation and update. Supervisor walon. Thank you. Just a clarifying question. Most of my questions are for the Police Department. You stated policy in sf does in the move like it should. Can you clarify. Not they disagree. In 2016 we found this there was in the a smooth process for the development in generation of policy. In recent in the left year or so the department worked deteriorate a now policy to allow for the will prom you willgation of general orders but well is bumps in the road. I think that the efforts this were made to help inform the process may have have consequence. There are challenges we hear if stake holder not Went Department relative to the policy. I have a question for chief. There have been reports of racial data falsified. One, what are we doing to address that. It is continued since we got the recommendations. And some case got worse. What are we doing to address that . One thing that ms. Kirby mentioned the dash board we are in the final stages of developing. This is designed to able tool to analyze trends. Stops. Trends with stops and with communities and officers who work in them. That is when we believe will give us know opportunity to really dig in this morin terms of trying tonldz what the trends money can what the causes are. And disproportionality is not jermaine to San Francisco this is a nationwide issue long standing. However the things we put in place got us further down the road. Our use force there are sepears when you look at the decline against africanamericans or black members of our community, the rate of decline is dope are than the other demographics, well is progress but still a lot to do. Other thing is the case you talk period on going investigation i kent comment on this case. However we do know this data is an important part of the better understand handwriting is going on with our stops what data has toraccurate. We do have to improve our system in that regard and believe the dash board is a way to get there. The other thing is we have to come to grips with the fact we are dealing with challenging sxshs have to find ways and talking about crime issues. We have to find a way to address the issues but the same time sensitive to the disparities. If there is a demographic we see that is high on the offender rate how can we get at that problem without making this stop problem worse. A good example will gun violation. It is a black and brown issue in our city. The offenders and the people that are victims. Address the root causes and try to get to people before they become a victim or offender of gun violence that is working in the area we focus of your direct has a reduction and the rest the city is up. We believe that is evidence we are going in the right direction in terms of able to impact the problem not by just Law Enforcement and search warrants and rests. I can talk about the drug market. There are things there. Im glad to hear what else we can do. And put pep in the position where than i wouldeen goat a pin they may commit a crime. Great to hear i life for to you say make investments elsewhere and stop giving the department so much money to have a balance in terms of how we address the issues this are economic and to your point not 100 on the Police Department. And going back, you talk about the shootings and where they occur. Or what demographic they affect. I say this to you all the time. Captains of station in my district will say this. When we talk about distribution of officer and resources. We have more shooting s and certain yours in the city and dont police it way. This is something we bring up when we talk about where receives are deplay exclude how. I adopt to go back because you mentioned the dash board tool. Had will we see that tool and see change . Certain strategies the Commission Approved like pretext stops. Where are we now with policies like that, that have been supported in move forward . The traffic stops policy in remember passed by the commission awaiting final stage of meet and conifer and then will be up and running. We have a number of policies we put in place per of this initiative. Our policy against bias. Oureen our use of force policy. I believe we made significant progress on policies and development. Thats on going. Evolution. You know what is good for us today minot be for 5 years ago. Part of the process is having system in place we dont wait 30 dwroers address when things are going in a different direction. Im not suggesting every time wind blows we change policy. So we need to be thoughtful about that. And i believe the system in place to do this more flexibley and dapability is better than it has been ever in this department as far as the ability to change policy when is we need to. And for specifics how many recommendifications have not been completed 27 whats the date . April is when we get our final arent and are going to do Everything Possible to get those done by april. We have always said well men handful about for you this are tied in our technology plans there will be a now we will not get to we doll everything in our power to get everything done by april with the exception of those. Catherine . Our dead line is april and then [inaudible] w to do after that. Assess everything. What are most dhifl minot be achieved by that time line . There are some tieed technology needs. We are making process. We have a new Management System coming on line that press is down the road. Some of when we are talking about today in upon development of the dash board are Early Intervention system this project is on line with bench marks. We made significant strides. I than leadership doing putting the best foot forward to address the recommendations and success. I do want to say that it is disheartning this we seat level of disproportionality in community barring task forces focussed on types of crimes. There is bias in community and bias of how different neighborhoods get policed. We gotta do something about this. Understood we will will continue to work. There are much w to be done i dont disagree with you there. Upon much work to be diagonal i think there has been progress. Thank you. Why supervisor preston. Thank you, supervisor peskin, i want to follow occupy supervisor waltons asked about the data issue. Come become quarter low before the Police Commission. Regularly. But in some ways the analysis and the discussion of sluices depends on the quality of data that is something we agree on. I understand for ending things under investigation limit to when you comment on. I do want to just briefly touch on what is out there and because it is concernings we talk about whether the data that we see that already shoes disparity this is supervisor walton referred to and we know persists but the concern is that the tip of the iceberg or the disparity . The dpa investigation found this officer was repeatedly misreporting the race of people that were stopped and this receive is facing discipline for this . Sometimes something can be isolated case. I than when the some veteran reporters and i will not address it. Who knows if the report sell accurate. They found 4 other officers. Appeared. All but 6 of the 1, 139 stops the sergeant made. All but 6 were white people that is inconceivable. So my question is, to give you an opportunity to address the things that have been out there. Recently. Officers of stops after whether some type of audit or closer look to see whether there are red energy and make surety data is accurate. Thank you, supervisor preston. Again, this issue with the sergeant, from this nows article. I didntvilleidate whether that is merit or not. I can say those tht whole data issue for us is an important issue and one of the things we we do spot check and make sure the data is entered as it shchlt there is more w this we need to do and will do in terms of dig deeper in the process of and inspect. I will say a bit about the system this the data is talking about the cal doj the information is enter in the and paced on the wolf profession. I will say when we want data on race there are some vaernss there that based on what the officer perceives not the race of the person there are differences there this is noted just an issue in santos laguna. People on committees that the ripa committee. Doesnt make it less of an issue. Spot inspections to detect if this needs to be locked into when we see these anom lowly this is something we are committed to doing. Prior to whatever will help guess forward, any effort to spot check or was the level inquire etch sdwrouft see if the basically the fields were marked . If the report was complead versus not. Versus the analysis detect, yes a pattern the officers checking every box or only check a certain race. Any sfot checking our audit process . The process is more of completion of the data. Making sure everything completed and things done. Again, zoe to go deep in this. Now we have an issue that really merits going deep are. Thank you, chief. And i just one other question on this. One concern is this issue auditing the reporting of the data in itself is part of recommendations . And doj warned back 7 years ago to upon watch for officers misreporting the race of drivers pulled over. This the caution and the warnings long standing with the doj and there are findings specific low 77 and 77. 2. That are around saying the department should develop an audit work plan on the stop data. I dont want to get in i know this was discussed on the Police Commission hearing and that there is an unit order on this. I think when is in question sfpd following through on the commitment in this order. And i think where i want to upon end on this with i question is whether it is your sense or consultant just whether we are at risk on those the doj could update the findings on specifically on the audit issues. That i think would be reported as compliance and now i wonder ify woor not. Or whether we are addressing that where wore confidence this will remain a compliance item . Part of the findings was language if we needed to staff the irk nit to do the things you talked about. That unit has not been staffed. I will say. This is our challenge. And we will have to figure out a way to make that happen temperature does take people to do these types of audits. We had to send people become to patrol to staff patrol cars. Some officers assigned professional standards sent become to patrol in the left couple years. We had to finds a way to do temperature had is our commitment and will figure it out t. Is a staffing issue that was one contingency on the compliance this we staff this so we sustain this. Com compliance. Are we at risk of this finding changing . Or are you confident this we will be able to staff that in a way that is satisfy on this. Im confident we will if i can the problem. You know we have to sustain it. We we are good moving off the upon round to fix temporary problem this is work is about sustainability and work had never end. Men of the departments stayed become in efforts to evolve their police and reform. Y dweent want to do this. We will commit we are work to do to figure out how to sustain over time thank you and iment to say that i appreciate the commitment to more proactive auditing and i want to reiterate at this time is like the ratio of deper seities are alarming enough and persist despite substantial compliance with men of the recommendations. We really need to get a handle whether misreporting issues are a handful of case or systematic it may be that the numbers significant low worse. Or not. And we dont know. And so i think the sooner we can get to the baptist better. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor dorsey . Thank you. President supervisor peskin. My question is for deb are kirby and i want to express my appreciation to hughes and the California Department of justice. I think they probably dont get enough gratitude. We go back when the Trump Administration pulled the plug on the per inship this started in the Obama Administration with the u. S. Department of justice. The state d. Justice did in the have to be a part in. Than i stepped and up than i did i think this was important. One thing this it occurs to mow is rable about this. Is that we are 7 years after an expert still talking about temperature i spent most of my career in this build and seen report and studies and you know i think we near year 20 of the 10 year plan to end homelessness. And you know im impressed by the commitment to sustainability. Above the issues as a consultant what is enabling us to continue it talking about this in i way that we are keeping everybody honest. Making progress and this is in the a report this is garthing dust somewhere but we are making progress. And committing to keep reform sustained. Having an outside consultant in a doj partner on other issues this weer going to be multiyear things . Or a committee of the whole hearing or all of these things. I think this truly the unique [inaudible] here in San Francisco is this was self driven. I think the evolution special leadership in the organization not to say there were not good leaders in 2016. When we have season is the ability to look at issues differently. Not necessary low an attack or doing everything right t. Is how we improve when were doing. And that is a big pivot. Even enemied of collaborative reform. Fact you dont issue mug shots antibiassed. Those are evolutionary out come of an organization committed to improving itself. I think this the communities here is engaged it holds the department to account. And that this council the Police Commission. Dpa are all sufficient low ren grained and this level of conversation continues to happen. But i identify that this project initial low locked at 5 key areas this challenge policing any organization thatments to provide service to community improve struggling with those example irrelevant the change you see here is you know that his ability to stand and say, okay, how do we fix this and move this forward. What i have seen overnight last 5 years is an organization that is a whole looking tht if saying how do we do this rather something done to us. Has it influential. I spent tw yers in the Police Department before my currention as civilian mfbt command staff. I recall this when george floyd was murder there were 2 city this is had inn acted all 8 of the cant wait use force reforms Campaign Zero was advocating for. My count i think we are up to 10 of the 100 cities, 50 adopted all 8. I think 12 are on the way. Has this process been infloushl and other cities pursueing . I think again the department made the commitment to do this the reform helped. There is i bit of pushing. But when we saw in 2070. And you in in 2023 is tht department is moving forward on when i believe to be ino i havive policies independent of reform and having a recommendation and measurement on it. The continued improvement which is something this will be on the walls in headquarters the improve am move this is when we are seeing mow im in a lot of cities. This is the stuff this brings approximation to the team. Go to Public Comment. Thank you thank you. Thank you. Sthoez here it come on to your right side of the chamber and line up. Terry field.

On behalf of supervisor supervisor peskin the late tim tigaris at the suggestion motion made by supervisor peskin on the sprier board for the honorable Diane Feinstein. We are adjourned. Clear clear what say a nice day to build housing in San Francisco. Good evening, everyone. Im london breed where we are going to build over 500 units of housing. [cheers and applause] man, i dont think i have ever signed a piece of legislation supporting housing that has made me happier than the one im about to sign today. You know, president peskin, i want to take us back a tad bit because when you came back to the board of supervisors, the work that we did together by providing the opportunity for the board of supervisors to make legislative decisions instead of leaving it in the charter, understanding that it is so important that we do Economic Feasibility studies to ensure that the decisions that get made around our requirements for housing, dont impact our ability to build. We know a lot of things for housing are not within our control. The cost of materials and the economy and setting Interest Rates is a whole but there are things here locally that are within our control. I want to take this opportunity to really appreciate so many people who came together with the technical advisory committee, who worked day in and day out to ensure that we really dug deep, that we fulfill a process that we made to the people of San Francisco. That when we make decisions about inclusionary numbers, if the economy changes in anyway, we will reevaluate those numbers to determine if they should be either raised or lowered, and we will not play politics with the needs to do everything we can to build more housing in San Francisco. And today, fulfills such a promise. No, it is not everything we need to do to get to the 80,000 units that San Francisco needs to build in order to fulfill our housing commitment for the element, but its an incredible start. What does this mean . This means we have come together with stakeholders. I want to appreciate board president peskin and those in my office for the work and the various tac members did to get us to this point. I even said at this point when anne was in my office, what did you do for president peskin to get him to be so cooperative. Im not used to this. I dont know what kind of magic she did or worked this committee in the way that she and president peskin did to make this happen, but what i appreciate most is it shows the power of collaboration. It shows what can happen for the greater good of our city when we are willing to come together and to negotiate and to compromise, and to do what is in the best interest of San Francisco. So, what does this do . Well, this unlocks thousands of units that are now possible because they can get the financing necessary to get these projects done. What does this do . It creates a number of various layers of commitments that we are making to not just wait years to make adjustments to inclusionary numbers, but to look at inflation, to have built in mechanisms to be sure that we dont wait around for policies to pass or change but able to move forward now with projects that are being approved and already been approved so we can unlock housing in San Francisco, so that we can break ground and build more all over San Francisco including downtown. What does that mean . It means we are building housing but we are creating jobs. So i want to really thank all of the various labor organizations from the plumbers to the carpenters, to the electricians, all people that are responsible for building housing in San Francisco. More housing means more Job Opportunities and we want to make sure that we are building so much housing that we can barely find the workforce to do it. That is our goal, but more importantly, and i know, go ahead, clap labor. They are excited about that. [ applause ] but more importantly, affordability is a real challenge and we want to be sure that our san franciscans of various areas of labor and our bus drivers and workforce in San Francisco and others and to those who are struggling to make ends meet. We want to make sure that we have as much housing as possible to ensure affordablity for different layers for jobs that exist all over San Francisco. We have a lot of work to get there but this is our very very first step. We know that we have to do so much more. We have to be more aggressive than ever before if we are going to meet our goal. San francisco already has 50,000 units. Do you know what that could mean for the city of San Francisco . What that could mean for what is happening right now with new technologies that is emerging in every part of San Francisco, and not just right now but pier 70 and dog pound and we are the leading company in the world here in San Francisco and more to come. So we have to make sure that we are building the housing necessary to meet the needs, to meet the demand. That we are doing Everything Possible in this legislation that i am about to sign today is a significant step in the right direction. So im looking forward to breaking ground here in those 500 units as well as other parts of our city. Lets get to financing, lets get the job going, lets make magic happen for the city and county of francisco. [ applause ] and before we sign the legislation, i want to take the opportunity because this doesnt just happen because we want it to happen. This happens because people come together and they do the hard work to make it happen. As i said, president of the board of supervisors, aaron peskin, ben rosen field, our controller, the director of the planning department, sarah phillips, oewp, and who worked her magic, conrad who was a part of this team as well from the city side. I want to thank all of the members of the tac who came together to fight it out on the inside and merged together on the outside, and i want to thank the consultants and want to thank the developers estrada, matthew, thank you for the work you do. Jim morrison, with hines and erickson and fearless developers here. From 530 howard street. En enrique. Carl from fisherman fiore. Thank you so much. And we couldnt do this work without the incredible people whose hands build these units, the carpenters, thank you so much. [ applause ] and the building trades. And of course many of our housing advocates, jay natoli is here. Thank you so much to cory from the Housing Action committee. It is a village. We wont stop, we cant stop now. First step in the right direction. And before we sign this legislation, i would like to introduce supervisor president of the board of supervisors aaron peskin. [ applause ] supervisor aaron peskin thank you, mayor breed. The mayor got it just right. This is government working at its best, collaboratively based on actual data and i have to say, the meetings that weve had over the period of months were actually very pleasant, they were not contentious, they were informed by experts. All of them i was going to thank, but the mayor has thanked each and every one of them. I will say that the office of economic and Workforce Development were splendid. I think we named him excel spreadsheet conrad. 22 years ago, San Francisco was at the leading edge of creating Affordable Housing in new market rate development. That legislation was carried by my then colleague supervisor mark, who worked very closely with erickson and we created one of the first onsite inclusionary Affordable Housing laws in the United States of america that has been copied by cities all across the country. But it was never meant to be static. We enjoyed robust times and that ten percent initial number crept up to 15 and eventually 20 . But when times are tough, that number has to be adjusted in a way that allows new housing start to happen. The mayor understood that, the entire board of supervisors are almost the entire board of supervisors understood that and that is what led to this process. Mayor breed referred to the fact that unfortunately in a number of time, the number got put in the charter at 12 and nobody could bring it down and we took that charter and we made that promise saying we will revisit this every few years and adjust the inclusionary rate number accordingly and we kept our word and that is exactly what happened. Now, our job is not done, because as these significant reductions in the requirements for onsite affordablity has gone down, this city has the obligation to build 80,000 units of housing, the majority that need to be affordable and we have to find a way to do those. We have had that conversation and that is part of this conversation and that is what the mayor and i are also collaborating on and realizing the Affordable Housing bond will be the opportunity to vote on this march, march of 2024, in the amount of 300 million. We mentioned that this week and working to get that passed. With that, it is my pleasure to witness this signing. It truly has been a collaboration and i will close by saying it is one of many collaborations. It is the kind of collaboration that we had relative to adaptively reusing vacant buildings in the Downtown Core that we cleaned up and passed and along with corroboration with supervisor melgar and her work and in the city and county in San Francisco. Our work is not done. I look forward to more collaborations going forward. Thank you, mayor breed. Good afternoon, my name is Michael Cohen from strata. Thank you all for coming today. Its really fantastic to have you all on this humble parking lot which we are advancing plans to build this incredibly gorgeous 500 units, residential building. I have to say those plans are much brighter today because of this legislation. Indeed this legislation is the most impactful that has come out in a decade and its so important because it addresses the single barriers which is affecting housing to do and that is affordablity. And there are things that are outside of this citys control, but by significantly reducing this bill, we will be able to build housing and will not happen over night but over the next years, it will have a huge impact. In addition to what it says, this bill says a lot. One, it directly acknowledges that we could not hope to build additional housing without decreasing the rate to market. And shows when the stakes are the highest, leadership in the state and San Francisco can come together to work on pragmatic solutions. I have to say the mayor and supervisors and everyone else, its remarkable because you did something really important, really well, really quickly with no drama. For that, i will say thank you, and god bless. [ applause ] i think rebecca is going to come up. Hi, everyone. Nice to see you. I am rebecca foster, and i had the honor of being in that inside closed door site on the tac, not really, it was pretty low drama. And i am also the ceo of the Housing Accelerator Fund. Those things are really connected. We launched the Housing Accelerator Fund in 2017 as a publicprivate partnership, really to turbo charge the city and Affordable Housing developers to be able to preserve more housing more officially and since then, we build millions of dollars for San Francisco projects and made over 400 million in investments and supporting those around the city. We love this fund. And we have build more units around the city that help residents stay in their long time homes to amazing beautiful buildings like just down on howard street, the new 200 unit building unit on howard that will welcome 200 families next income to Affordable Housing in San Francisco. Clearly, i dont need to tell anyone here that getting Affordable Housing, getting any housing built in San Francisco is complicated. Its hard. It takes a lot of grit, and for us, its full of way too many negotiations with a lot of cattle raising and with spreadsheets, and like on the tac, we spend a lot of time looking at the maps of what it takes to make projects work while trying to balance the critical importance of delivering homes faster. This year starting construction, not seven years from starting construction, and getting the systems and policies right so we can massively scale the overall delivery of housing in our city to hit that 82,000 necessary homes for future generations and for people who live here now. We all keep up this hard Work Together because we know how important each and incremental win is to building homes on this parking lot and that is for our neighborhoods. Serving on the tac with my great partners and working with the incredible city staff that the mayor mentioned, was really an honor and an extension of all this work. It was an incredibly collaborative crew and i did not go inspecting this collaboration and i dont think anybody did because this is San Francisco. We just spent our time deep in the weeds and really focusing on the imperative of kick starting the delivery of more housing as soon as possible with all kinds of head wind line the mayor mentioned and that we have the ability to build the Affordable Housing that the city desperately needs. Thank you for serving on the tac and im super excited for this legislation and the affordable bond that supervisor peskin mentioned. Mayor london breed thank you, rebecca, to everyone joining us today. Now it is time to sign the legislation to make it official. [ applause ] all right. Are you ready to sign this legislation . Yes. [cheers and applause] i have not seen you smile in a long time. It is official. [cheers and applause] all right. Well take a picture here.

Dianne feinstein diligently focused on the impacts to real people in ideology not showmanship with a result not rhetoric. When i was sworn into the senate in 2017 that was diane who welcomed me thrive invited me to the senate hide way and presented me with a glass of California Wine and with the other hand a binder full of her draft bills.

But focused on recovering but diane forgot it. It was the week of the lake tahoe senate and she was in 1997 meeting leaders from nevada all for a cause near and deer to her heart preserving lac tahoe for years. And that morning remembered a bone pop but choose to finish her day or think thinking about it turns out was a significant fracture you are she only offered three words i just did. Now many agree actives can define her strong and unflappable and affairs and practical. But one quality above all in any mind and forever set diane apart. In integrity integrity she was a leader of uncommon dignity she was propelled and never let her stray from a cause she know was right 78 i have stone unflappable right now. When they embraced an issue no matter what other thought her integrity made her straggler i was dtla proud festival in 1994 when i closely worked with diane for the web and diane championed in the senate and worked that bill harder than anyone and attacking every pitfall and resisting broadside from the ncra. Thanks to her dedication her unflab ability and here integrity america turned a leaf. Working with diane on as a result weapons ban was one of the proudest moment not only call a colleague but a close friend. And what a loving caring friend she was. When any daughter first moved to San Francisco out of college that september i got a call from diane show asked me does issuing daughter have any where to go for the Holy Services she mind no. Well, shes going to service with me. So fantastic things i miss her ability to win over doubters and there were many not by putting them down but with her el enhance and possess and piercing witness and her dedication thoroughly she was better prepared and informed than about anyone else i cant tell you how many times diane would say let me go home and heed going on o come 40 or 50 or 60 questions the next day ill miss her one the great deal markers was a mallist bit of Common Ground if it meant moving an issue forwarded even on gun safety and womens rights and so many issues she was never afraid of working though she disagreed she was the living person and 6 institutions built by coordination. And finally, i also be ipa debt to diane not just a colleague but. Father and daughter because of diane my daughters grew up in a world that was a little bit fairer and more judge and more accepting of women in leadership. Speaking at Stanford University in 199 three diane confessed never saw this woman in this role or that role she said was to go life to the fullist and accept champion and take risks and always protect youre her integrity so this is a great loss for the senate of california for america. But we give thanks thanks to thank that someone so rare so dedicated and with a diagrams like presence served our country for so many wonderful years clapping .

[ ] my familys starts in mexico in a small town. My parents are from a very, very small town. So small, that my dads brother is married to one of my moms sisters. Its that small. A lot of folks from that town are here in the city. Like most immigrant families, my parents wanted a better life for us. My dad came out here first. I think i was almost twoyearsold when he sent for us. My mom and myself came out here. We moved to San Francisco early on. In the Mission District and moved out to daily city and bounced back to San Francisco. We lived across the street from the ups building. For me, when my earliest memories were the big brown trucks driving up and down the street keeping us awake at night. When i was sevenyearsold and im in charge of making sure we get on the bus on time to get to school. I have to make sure that we do our homework. Its a lot of responsibility for a kid. The weekends were always for family. We used to get together and whether we used to go watch a movie at the new Mission Theater and then afterwards going to Kentucky Fried Chicken. That was big for us. We get Kentucky Fried Chicken on sunday. Whoa go crazy so for me, home is having something where you are all together. Whether its just together for dinner or whether its together for breakfast or sharing a special moment at the holidays. Whether its thanksgiving or christmas or birthdays. That is home. Being so close to berkley and oakland and San Francisco, theres a line. Here you dont see a line. Even though you see someone thats different from you, theyre equal. Youve always seen that. A rainbow of colors, a ryan bow of personalities. When you think about it you are supposed to be protecting the kids. They have dreams. They have aspirations. They have goals. And you are take that away from them. Right now, the price is a hard fight. Theyre determined. I mean, these kids, you have to applaud them. Their heart is in the right place. Theres hope. I mean, out here with the things changing everyday, you just hope the next administration makes a change that makes things right. Right now theres a lot of changes on a lot of different levels. The only thing you hope for is for the future of these young kids and young folks that are getting into politics to make the right move and for the folks who cant speak. Dy mind motion. Even though we have a lot of fighters, theres a lot of voice less folks and their voiceless because theyre scared
