Madam clerk, are there any communications . Yes madam president. Were in receipt of two communicates. First from supervisor mar and the second from previe supervisor avalos, educating their ab indicating their absence. Motioned by supervisor campos. Seconded by supervisor farrell. Can we take this without objection without objection. They are excused. All right, lets go to our consent agenda. Items one through eight comprise consent calendar. If a member objects, an item maybe removed and considered separately. Roll call please. On consent, supervisor weiner, supervisor yee, supervisor breed, supervisor campos, supervisor christensen, supervisor cohen, supervisor farrell, supervisor kim, supervisor tang, there are nine ayes those items are adopted, passed on the First Reading and finally passed unanimously. Next item please. Item nine is an ordinance to amend the police code to require firearms dealers to install maintain and operate Video Surveillance equipment and all ammunition sales to the Police Department. Supervisor farrell. Individuals here in San Francisco across our state and across our country continue to have easy access to both guns ammunition. That access continues to be a major contributing factor towards senseless convenient crimes. Even though city and state have some of the toughest gun control laws on the books, there still remains more we can do to protect public state o state. As we witness mass shootings, congress led by the nra and republican counterparts continue to fail us as citizen as they have yet to pass any gun safety laws. Therefore, it becomes up to us as local jurisdictions to promote local gun safety legislation that will prioritize and protect the Public Safety of our resident. The legislation before us today is a step in that direction. Sense introduction, this legislation has received an anticipated amount of attention because as a result of simply introducing it, the last remaining gun store in San Francisco has decided to close its doors for business. Again led bethe nra, this legislation has been criticized by those on the right who view themselves as standard barriers for their belief. If the last remaining gun store in San Francisco wants to shut down because of my legislation, im all for it. I would much rather see a preschool, a coffee shop or Senior Center or some other neighborhood serving institutioning in institution in its place. The first portion will require that the video taping of all gun sales that take place within the city of San Francisco. The video of sale will be made to our Police Department after they serve a search warrant. It will apply to other critical area of the Business Premises including all places where firearms and ammunitions are sold. Currently no federal or California Law imposes security requirements on firearm dealers during Business Hours or rear sellers to install burglar alarms. Simply having Video Evidence of all gun sales will help deter guns and ammunitions. It will give Law Enforcement video records of any individual who buys a gun and if a shooting occurs and they will be able to easily track the gun purchased if it was used in a shooting. Currently, the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms at the federal level does no have the resources to properly check 138,000 firearm dealers licensed across the country. I want to give San Francisco all the tools we need as a city to accurately track gun ammunition sales. With the atf being understaffly, theyre lucky theyre able to one check. Washington post investigation a few years ago found that as a result of inadequate staffing, aff was able to. Less atf was able to inspect less than 10 . The second portion of the legislation will require the electronic transmission of ammunition sales. More than a dozen local jurisdictions in california have adopted ordinances requiring sellers to maintain records of these sells. Jurisdictions that have adopted such ordinances have had Great Success utilizing such records to identify people who are legally possess firearms. September 2010 report by mayors against illegal guns, including routine inspections of gun dealers provided Law Enforcement with more opportunities to detect illegal gun activity including improper recordkeeping or a dealer whos gun inventory does not match the sales record. Again, we need to do everything in our power to give our local Law Enforcement all the tools they need to prevent crime this piece will help. I do want to thank a number of people who worked on this legislation. Catherine jeffrey from my office in particular, a number of National Organizations around gun safety. The goals here are simple. To ensure that dealer operations within the city of San Francisco will not be detrimental to our own Public Safety. Prevent and detect illegal trafficking of firearms by dealers and their employees. Previous the loss and theft of firearms from dealers. Prevent and detect sale and firearms to person who are prohibited from law by these firearms. And benefit, we ose the last remaining retail gun store in San Francisco, i believe all of us in San Francisco will be better off. I hope to have your support. Thank you supervisor farrell.

Item 22 is a resolution to receive and approve the first biannual housing planning support. Supervisor kim. Thank you. I want to thank this board for your support for the housing balance. The purpose of the housing balance account is a follow up to the successful proposition k ballot measure which passed last november with the support of this board and the mayor. To have a stated goal of building no less than 33 of Affordable Housing and new construction and acquisition. A goal of 50 including middle income housing. This housing balance count report is a way for the city to be able to measure ourselves to see how we are producing and acquiring in relation to this goal. But also to have an understanding of the loss of units from protected rent control status. This is the first report to come from the Planning Department. To establish this account. I do want to acknowledge they are hard work as well as the work of our Comptroller Office on presenting citywide income projection. The data is helping to understand the stock. In order for us to make more informed policy decisions. What i think was most striking about the report is not what were producing but what we are losing. I think that the report makes clear that just as important as building and acquiring new Affordable Housing, it is just as important that we protect and support tenants in protected rent control house and to protect the Housing Stock which is housing for our middle class households. Some of the key points that i just wanted to point out. The citywide housing balance over the last ten years is 15 . This varies greatly by district. It goes negative 109 up to a positive 40 of Affordable Housing. We do have several districts that have lost more protected housing than they are building. This is largely due to the large number of units that is weth drawn from protection such as rent control relative to the total number of net units. The three Major Development projects identified in the ordinance in exclusion of housing of balanced calculation. If we do include these large sites, the balance will go up to 20 . I think whats good to note, while we are on pace to build the number of Housing Units that we as a city and Mayors Office committed to doing, we still have quite a bit of work to do to ensure and fight for more affordable and middle income units. Colleague i ask for your support in approving this today. Thank you supervisor kim. Colleagues, can we take item number 22 same house same call. The resolution is adopted unanimously. Can you please call items 23 through 26 together. 23 is a resolution to determine the issuance of type 22 wine license to cuong thanh tran for key tran located at 745 street. Item 24 is a resolution to determine that the transfer of type 42 on sale beer and wine public premises lie sense license from 660 post street from trubnick johnson jones. Item 26 is a resolution to determine that the transfer of a type 21 off sale general license from 500 laguna street will be in accordance with the california business control. Colleagues, can we take these items, same house same call . Resolutions are adopted unanimously. Madam clerk, can we skip over our 230. Today supervisor wiener is the first supervisor to introduce new business. Thank you very much madam clerk, colleague, today i am introducing legislation to make it easier to install simple gray water, water recycling for irrigation purposes in they are homes. Water recycling is a crucial part of reforming our outdated water. For outdoor irrigation in their homes. Currently the state plumbing code requires permits for the installation of any residential gray water system. Gray water being a system that uses water from sinks, showers and bathtubs for nonportable uses like irrigation and total flushing. However, the state plumbing code step lates that stipulates that a local agency can exempt simple gray water system discharging 250 gallons of water a day or less. Can be exempted from permit requirements. Legislation im introducing today adopts that state created exemption for outdoorer allegatiooutdoor out door irrigation system. By removing this permit requirement, we can encourage more people to take action to reduce their water use. We must be forward thinking in how we use water. I look forward to working on this legislation with all of y you. Thank you. Thank you supervisor weiner. Supervisor yee. President breed. Thank you colleagues. I have two items for introduction today. The first is an ordinance related to our graffiti Advisory Board. Last year, i had the effort to completely overhaul San Francisco graffiti policy. We created a digital system to track graffiti to bring lawsuit to one of the defenders. We strengthened regulations to protecting our parks. We got all the city departments that deal with graffiti to start working together on combating graffiti. I enjoyed working with all of them, the mta, the department of public works, 311 and the San Francisco Police Department. Of course, the graffiti Advisory Board, a 25 member body of city officials and members of the public that is critical to the cause of graffiti enforcement. The gavel was very involved in the crafting of my legislation last year. They have been very supportive in its implementation. I want to help them be effective. The graffiti Advisory Board authorizing legislation in section feature article 18 passed in 1993. As you might imagine, it needs updating. Currently, one of the members is supposed to be appointed bethe executive director of the department of park and traffic. The department that hasnt existed in the city and county of San Francisco for over 13 years. The code does not have our standard provisions about minimum attendance, meeting frequency and sun set dates. The legislation im introducing today will bring the graffiti Advisory Board admin code up to date and help them to continue our efforts to combat graffiti citywide. This is a code cleanup to make the gray if ity Advisory Board more efficient. Legislation is not always about writing new laws, steam sometimes its about fixing the old one. Graffiti cost San Franciscoians over 20 million a year. It hurts residents and Business Owners who are often forced to clean up the crimes they fallen victim to. I want to thank my colleagues for supporting my legislation last year along with the multiple city, departments and the graffiti Advisory Board. We are launching new more effective and methods to combat graffiti in San Francisco. My second item is the ash Bury Community and gas line ruptures. This is a hearing request about the five gas line ruptures and two sinkholes that have disrespected and endangered the community in the last few months. The city under the management of the department of public works, began an Infrastructure Project this spring to install new water mains, replace sewers and repave haith streets. Since april, the crews have ruptured gas lines on five separate occasions. You can imagine how frightening and disruptive this has been to the residents. The street has been completely closed for hours, stores have been forced to close, the smell of leaking gas has overpowered entire blocks. On one occasion, someone intron a haith street store and told everyone to evacuate only to be followed by someone else running into the store telling everyone to stay inside. The community and i had enough i asked dpw to stop all work on this project, which they have done. Yesterday, i held a press conference on haith street from leaders from the ash bury Neighborhood Council and the merchant association. There are a lot of questions. What happened here, why did these dangerous failures over and over again. Who is responsible for keeping track of where gasolines are and ensuring theyre not hit when work is gone. Are pg what the Safety Record of the contractor and the subcontractor. How did they win these bids. Is the citys employing any safeguards to ensure that companies are repeated safety violations are not able to continue working in our neighborhood. Synergy came in at 1 million below other bidders and now we are left holding the bag. Do we need legislative changes to move away from a low bid requirement to a system that takes reliability safety and path, cost performance into consideration . What else do we need to do to prevent Something Like this from happening again or anywhere else in our great city . I dont want work to see work begin in the haightashBury Community. Until were sure that our neighborhood will be safe. San franciscans deserve safety and accountability from their City Government and from the companies that our government hires. Companies that exceed their bid or provides shoddy work are repeatedly jeopardize Public Safety, should not be working on our streets. Im requesting the department of public works, the San Francisco and the California Public utilities commission, synergy, pg e to participate in this hearing. I look forward to getting to the bottom of this as soon as possible. I rest i submit. Before we move on with roll call for introductions, we are at 2 30. I like to acknowledge that two supervisors have accommodations to give today. Excuse me. Madam president , i have 2 36 on the computer. Okay, madam clark, i like to acknowledge supervisor kim for the first commendation and then supervisor compos will give the second. Thank you, october is Filipino American history month. Today it is my privilege to offer commendation to over 25 filipino veterans and supervisors here today survivors here today. Lets give them round of applause of they are service and leadership on behalf of their country. [applause] last week, with the community, i introduced a resolution to urge our u. S. Congress to award congressional gold medal to filipino ver veterans of world war ii. From 1941 to 1946, the men and women of philippines performed Invaluable Services by being a member of the u. S. Armed service. Serving with great distinction and courage. Out of the estimated 300,000 loyal and courageous filipino veterans, more than 57,000 made the ultimate sacrifice and gave their lives and service to the country. To the ideals of freedom and liberty. It is the very least that we can today to recognize their valor, sacrifice and service by awarding these veterans and their survivors the congressional gold medal. I want to recognize that many of the veterans have made San Francisco, their home after their service to continue to support their families and their communities with the benefits that they fought to receive in recognition of their service. For decades, this country did not treat our veterans equitabl equitably. To accept commendation today and later this board will be voting on the resolution asking the u. S. Congress to award the gold medal to veterans. I did wanted to bring up, mr. Felix, demill a long time resident of the south market neighborhood, mr. Demill enlisted in the army on marc march 14, 1946. He served as a radio telephone operator who was responsible for all the communication between the officer in charge and the gunner and his unit. At the age of 93, mr. Demill remains a voice for several veterans and advocating for the recognition of their service, the United States. Not just serving our country ;3cc inc times oftce continuing to struggle and advocate and lead our until today. Thank you so much for your service. Mr. Demill, if would come up to the podium to accept on behalf of the community that is here today. I do want to recognize that our philippines consulate general was here today to recognize our veterans. We have louisek,[zcn7 . A center has been working on this site to recognize our men and women that have specificked served in the philippine wars. Many who have came here today, bishop united fires and members of our community as well. Thank you. Actually, im really sorry, before you speak, supervisor yee also want to say a few words. Thank you supervisor kim for bringing this recognizing the soldiers of the philippines during world war ii. Im so grateful to be able to cosponsor this also. This is long overdue in my mind. If it werent for the 300,000 soldiers during world war ii, theres some thought in my mind that the results of the war might have been very different. Because of your bravery, United States need to be recognizing what impacter you had during the war. When you look at the history after the war, what impact is it has to the whole american civilization. Thank you very much for being here today and im really glad to be a cosponsor. [inaudible] [applause] congratulations, thank you for being here today. Now i like to recognize supervisor campos with our next commendation for today. Thank you madam president. It is my honor to call to the podium today, pretty Impressive Group delegation that is coming from el salvador. Im proud to honor today the first ever transgender activist delegation that is visiting San Francisco from the republic of el salvador. I want to welcome them to San Francisco. Theyre here as part of a historic delegation that is led by the Central American resource center. We have certificates of honor for each one of them. We also have a certificate of honor for her doing quadra for making a priority for bringing these ladies to San Francisco. It is not often that the issue of transgender rites is championed by any organization within the community. Its very inspiring. This incredible delegation, theres a lot of hyperbole that takes place. I think it is not a stretch to say that by being active in the fight for equal rights for the Transgender Community in this country. Each one of these ladies is risking their lives. It is a safety challenge to be gay in a country like el sal have 54. Organization. To enhance the quality of life for transgender people in that country.

All in all in spanish, we have female and male tents. Especially thank you to the supervisors for the recognition. Im the director. We also want to thank the foundation for bringing us out to the bay area. [speaking foreign language] the association for human solidarity was founded by a group of transvestite of women and men. It was established to fill the empty holes, ther huge holes in service and attention and support for the transgender woman. It and fight against discrimination, stigma and ongoing abuses of human rights. [speaking foreigng c language] our organization has put on the front line and challenge the true needs that community faces. Organizations that is innovative whos priority is the Trans Community. With a team of volunteers, we have provided leadership in various political issueshnj or the advancement and the goal to establish that. Also engagement and most recently and allowing women to participate in the elections with their own gender identity. Theyre also engaged in documenting on going hate crimes and denouncing all of these crimes and abuses towards their human rights. They use International Solidarity to strengthen their work in their region as well as their country. [speaking foreign language]wncz our priorities and struggle are number one to establish and gender eat in our country that will protect their rights. Identifying; pw÷ a physical sp. Establishment of a transgender shelter because currently, this not on the translation, theres not a single shelter in the continuing the work of education, both elementary, high school as well as University Education where they are also discriminated. Also advancing laws that will include the Trans Community in the labor force. Also trying to invest or seeking investment in enterprise for tran gender woman. [speaking foreign language] we invite you all to join our struggle and to contribute to our struggle and participate in some of the activities including this afternoon at the lgbt center in San Francisco where there will be a panel and discussion. To build solid darety across communities. With that, she wants to say thank you on behalf of the group. I want to add to say, she committed to this group. We have the obligation and the commitment to defend the rights of all of a our Central American brothers and sister. I cannot say enough about the human violations that theyre experiencing. They have been targeted for murders both from the government and the military. Its currently the most violent country in the world thats not in war. They are in the front lines of that struggle. They do their work without any funding. They do their work out of their hearts. They do it because its simply the right thing to do. I want to personally on behalf of them, say thank you to the board and supervisor campos for this recognition. Also to say thank you for the unanimous vote from you guys in collaborating with pep. They would be failing victims to pip. Thank you. In the most violent country in the world, being part of the most targeted and heated group in that country, its really an honor for us to do this. Thank you. Congratulations again and thank you for all of your efforts. Thank you. Were going to return to roll call for introductions. Supervisor campos youre up. Would you like for us to refer you . We are continuing the item on special use district. Look forward to a vote on that next week. I do want to talk a report that was issued today. The request to my office the budget and legislative panelist, looked at the issue of what would happen to the Mission Neighborhood if the current Housing Trend and the current housing strategy that we have followed continue. What would happen to the mission if it became so that we only continued as we are doing now to focus on the building of luxury housing. What would happen to that neighborhood. What this report found is actually very alarming. It essentially means, based on the report, that we would lose this neighborhood as we currently know it. The mission so far has lost about 30 of its latino population. If the current trend continue bees, the missio continues, the mission in 2025 will be 25 latino. That is a significant reduction. From the years when this neighborhood was majority latino. Its not just the Latino Community that will be impacted. It would also mean that this neighborhood would lose its working class and middle class. That in fact, the percentage of individuals making 200,000 or more a year, has increased by 105 . Which means that if if trend cons, the mission will be a community that not only will not have the diversity that has characterized it but will be a community inhabited only bethe wealthy. The second piece of the report, which is very relevant to discussion around housing. Is taking this argument that has been made in the solution and the answer is to build more housing. When faced with housing crisis, we just need to build more without necessarily focusing on what is built, the type of housing that is built. This report actually look at that issue and analyze how many units of housing would have to be built in San Francisco for that argument to hold true and to have a situation where more housing would reduce to a reduction in housing costs. By this estimate, this analysis, we would have to essentially double the housing that we presently have in San Francisco. If that argument were to be followed to its logical next step, we would have to build another San Francisco on top of this city today. In the mission, we would have to build another megs on mission on top of a mission for that argument to have the impact of reducing housing costs. The likelihood and the possibility of something leak like that being a reality in San Francisco is essentially zero. How realistic is it to expect that were going to build another San Francisco on top of the existing city . Its not going to happen. The report notes that we would have to build about 400,000 units of housing to be able to get to the point where the supply housing would impact and reduce costs. In is not going to happen. It hasnt happened where we have situation where were building about 2000 units each year. I want to thank harvey rose and his staff for this very important report. Our hope is that it will shed light on this very important top i can. Rest i submit. Thank you supervisor campos. Supervisor cohen. Thank you very much madam clerk. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen. I wanted to take a moment to recognize our world war ii veterans that are here in the chambers. Thank you for your service.

Have been in this country for over 300 years serving in many different capacities starting as fishermen, serving in our military but also across the Service Sectors here in this country and of course here in San Francisco. The introduction of this resolution over seven years in the work, im starting with the beginning, the initiation of the community. This creation is part of a multifaceted approach to acknowledge the areas rich history, preserve diversity and culture. Its home of many of our filipi filipino. These organizations are important part of the south of market and San Francisco community. South market not only home for a thriving Filipino Community but also home to the Betsy Michael elementary school. We also are home to a park, fought for by this community which is named after the first ever filipinoamerican, a San Francisco native to weapon the gold to win the gold medal. She actually swam in many of our rec centers. But was denied access to many of our swimming pools because she was filipino. She took on her mother mothers maiden name in order to pass white.

That means he lost the will to live, im so lonesome, i could cry. The silence of a fallen star lights up a purple sky. As i wonder where you are, im so lonesome, i could cry. I have a little question. When did we stop singing lyrics and started screaming instead . Thank you for listening. Thank you. Next speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors. My name is helen batista. Im a member of the board of the International Hotel senior housing. Since Diane Feinstein organized a committee to sure this building was built in 1978. I have a long track record. Today im very proud that the board took action of honoring our veterans. This thing has been on the books in congress for several years. It got stalled and stalled. Im hoping that youre backing this medal of honor. Would really recompense the entire world war ii veterans. Secondly, supervisor kim, i have done [inaudible]. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker please. Thank you president breed and other members. My name is christopher. In the season of celebrating menace, i rides to comment on the mental state of the republican party. The contradictions among such a mixed bag of motivations can be entertaining to watch. Although appalling to live with. The most division these days is between the book pounders and the bookkeepers. The bookkeepers are feeling the need to fiddle with the tax system. Their profit curves are losing their profitable slope. Their main problem is their political infantry, their feet on the ground, their fingers on the doorbells of rural and suburban party. Tea party has fallen behind the fashion curb. Critical credibility depend on success. The tea whit party is the problem and not the party. They think the public should just shove off. The many have tried it and few can carry off that attitude. Never having implemented much in the way of big social systems, they are shocked and dismayed that obamacare is settling comfortably. Whats a good look bookkeeper to do. If he want the best goodies that government can distribute, you do have to have functioning bureaucrats in a real government. Its hard to do business when your trump card is acting the fool. Thank you next speaker please. The United States is unique. This is only country who [inaudible]. Youre sitting here can i say people . Youre animals. Youre worse than animals. They dont understand this. You understood. You are animals. If you dont know that this five million homeless stay on this from new york to San Francisco and los angeles, all the way around, anothe eating from garbage can. They bring this. Know neve they never saw doctors. Then they call doctor to confirm this person is dead. You animals. 85yearold, slept on the streets. People should live in houses and not on the street. Animals live on the streets. Youre worse than animals. Thank you. Next speaker please. Im kind of young compared to him. I was evicted too. I was evicted how of a landlord building in the mission district. I love my home. Give me a moment to compose myself. I like to salute all the veterans and the philippines. My dad was in world war ii. I have to salute to veterans in the philippines. That wasnt a proper salute. Let me give a proper. I salute you. Its such a complicated problem. Solving all the things that we have to do and do in such a little time. I try to come up with ideas and sometimes they allude me. I think we can get it done. I really do San Francisco. This is the city of love. Thats what were known for. All we have to do is buckle up and look before we leap. We have to look carefully but still to see. Even though im homeless, my friends, my rich friends that take good care of me. Sometimes they dont. Its just a complicated mess. I think you can solve it. Lets go San Francisco. Lets do it. We can do it. Just do it right. Thank you. Mr. Campos, thank you for being my champion. Thank you so much. Thank you. Next speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors. My family is louise, im with the Veterans Equity Center. I just wanted to do a couple of things. I want to thank you for well, there will be an adoption of a resolution supporting the congressional gold medal. Once this land, whatever we have left, the filipino world war ii veteran and their families to encourage the United States congress to demand and not encourage that they act on it. Its been seven decades and we cannot wait too long simply because if we wait, one more congress, probably wont have anymore left to recognize for the congressional gold medal. Second of all, i wanted to thank supervisor kim for introducing the filipino Culture Heritage district. It is a milestone for the community. The deference between this, we can celebrate in neighborhood, art, culture. One of the things that were looking into is the preservation of the individual living in the south of market. The Filipino Community, the working class community. Time and time again, we are reminded that the Filipino Community in the town. They were swallowed by the development of financial district. Dont want that happening in the south of market. It is such a vibrant community of filipino working class and that is part of what we are reserving in the heritage district. Next speaker please. Im executive director of the Filipino American foundation. Its been a very long road getting to today. Im honored to be here representing the Filipino American Development Foundation. Partner organizations and so Many Community members. Who have worked to see this district come to pass. Thank you for your dedication.

District six, supervisor jane kim, cosponsors Supervisor John Avalos and eric mar, introduced a resolution to establish the district in this historical home to philippines in the city. They represent the largest asian marine, group in california. It forced many philippines to leave San Francisco. Still the south of market remains a touch stone for many philippines to press and learn about their culture. The neighborhood continues to have the largest concentration of philippines in the city. At the press conference, diversity is something every San Francisco takes proceed in. It is also something a we should actively protect. This is a very live and thriving neighborhood. The well being of communities like filipinos as well as latinos, chinese, black communities, other working class communities is also contributes to the rich history, culture and leadership. Thank you very much. Next speaker please. Im diane ruiz. We thank supervisor kim, avalos and mar today for their leadership in introducing a resolution to establish sansome philippine. We hope that the supervisors who will be involved in establishing this district, make a priority for this year. So that it gets into the budget for next year. We know there are many people in the community that are willing to work with the supervisors and with the city departments to make this happen. The Filipino Community is a Thriving Community filipinos are a vulnerable population because of history of discrimination. In 1960 to 1970s the fangs of the 56 was mostly filipino seniors was a moment in educationamerican. During redevelopment of the filipinos were displaced. Redevelopment, demolished 10,000 residential units and 700 businesses. Many that supported Filipino Workers and seniors. Today Development Pressures continue to plague the Filipino Community in selma. The citys fight against growing inequality, selma is the front night line. Thank you. Next speaker please. How many of you heard my call yesterday on k fax . Show some hands. I thought nobody was listening. It was a long shot. John is coming to town on the 5th. Elove john. I love john. Hes my favorite.

They dont have any prophesy. Its the spirit of prophesy. The bible alone gives us future events in daily. Thank you. Next speaker please. I would like to thank the board of supervisors, especially jane kim for introducing resolution for that adoption of congressional gold medal for world war ii veterans and introduction reestablishment of philippines. Personally, this two resolutionerresolutions are important. Me grandfather was a world war ii veteran and survived. Working at the Veterans Equity Center, really showed how much the filipino really needs to have a vose in the city. I remember my first client what was a world war ii veteran and was homeless. We were having a hard time having him housed because the v. A. Doesnt have enough evaluate for hosing the homeless veterans. We have also housed world war ii veterans in the condition that is ope inhabitable. They are living in such a small room. Theyre having a par technician partition. It roses the needs of the fel Filipino Community. I hope this continues on to be rosed of our existence here. Resolution, recognition and respect. Our community deserves a Cultural Heritage district. Our community has served this city deeply and has been loyal in just being a part of San Francisco. The late bill sorrow said once you lose a community be its hard to bring it back. The seed was planted long ago. I would hope that this resolution would lead to some very concrete moves in the direction of getting this district established. We need to get this right. Thats the concern that i have. When manila town was decimated by the financial interest of San Francisco, that hurt our community. It hurt our community so deeply to have that hole in the ground with the International Hotel stood for more than 30 years. That was our communitys ground zero. It was because of our community and the dedication to having Affordable Housing in that spot and people leak my uncle that insisted that we have a manila county i it is an extension of that fight. Its an extension to recognize our community, recognize people like larry and the workers that have come to San Francisco and have contributed and being threatened by big developers. Who dont give a dam about our history. But we do. We deserve it. Were a hard working loving community. We have values in our community that San Francisco desperately needs. Thank you very much. I am a member of the Veterans Equity Center of bell sorrows housing program. Also practice as an attorney. The other issue i support is the landmark resolution establishes, which is the First District named after the Filipino Community. I know that this a critical juncture in the city where many Plan Development thusly in the south market is going to be before you and i really urge you to look at our district in a way that recognizes the filipino people, the residents, the seniors, and the Tireless Community workers that stand to keep it together. Lastly, i really want to stay in closing in support of these two resolutions that we cant say we believe in equality and then allow the continued inequities towards our dwindling populations of filipino world war ii veterans. We can stand here in support of some filipinos and allow these luxury condos to be built not for us, but for new community. We can stand here thank you very much. Thank you. Im sorry that we have to move onto the next speaker. Next speaker, please. Hello. Ada chan project manager Cultural Heritage district with Filipino American Development Foundation. The Filipino American Development Foundation has been working on this idea of espousing cultural district for over the past decade. Were very happy and want to thank the board of supervisors for moving this forward. We like to see move forward and heard this year. Would appreciate if you could schedule it as soon as possible. If the longtime in the works would like to see it heard this year. And voted on this year. Id also like to thank supervisor, justus for the study requested in relation to to the housing severity thats occurring in the city and the radio which develop and is occurring and not benefiting residents i really appreciate the specificity but would you ask that study and information will be useful useful for us in sonoma to add significant amount of development and as you know the workers of the city we have also been the people been displaced by the deference to jobs and financial district about an incident housing development. So thank you very much. Somebody will be struggling with. But some of as filipinos and i also want to mention that the state has recognized the contributions of filipinos could the largest asian population in the state and were very happy that the city is now starting to include Filipino Community and recognize the leadership of the committee. Thank you thank you, very much. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name isive been a resident of San Francisco, south market, for eight years.

I me and i had the help of many Mental Health officials to write only. We believe in the power of ourselves. Thank you. Thank you. Next he could, please. Good afternoon several but that my name is ericwith latino cultural district and were here in full support of the filipino cultural district in summer. We were designated may of 2014 as a cultural district. For us it really meant that we were acknowledged as a people in that community that we existed. That we have history in the neighborhood kids that we are really their living and thriving. So, it gave us a sense of empowerment that we actually did exist. There is a lot of work for us to do in the future developing our special use district and i think thats can be born in this particular piece is that this is a resolution and designation but the work is in the details and its what you have for protections. I think we need to really look closely at what protections this community can have in soma around displacement around small business, around preserving arts and the Cultural Heritage of the Filipino Community just as we are doing in the mission district. So this is an important piece as far as acknowledgment goes but the real piece is the projections. Thats the part that really going to be able to preserve these neighborhoods and diversity diverse. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. The overhead, please. The overhead is always tricky. The lighting is not good. Enough to reach for it. Thats my name. So, if you can see it, that is mining. Back to the future. I submitted this little piece of paper to the board. The housing plan for the future. My five points were going to go straight to number five. The new residential formula down at the bottom. 30 open market, its 100 unit building in the tenderloin in the Community Center of the filipina area. The chinatown. 30 open market, open to everybody. 10 , 30 year residence vocals zip codes over 65 years old. Waited for older folks. They get 10 units of that 100. The next is 50 or 15 units per people lived in the neighborhood in the local zip code for 20 years. Then, 5 goes to San Francisco residents that are 65 or older. And waited for the seniors. 10 , 10 units of this 100 unit building goes for teacher fire municipal and city workers. Initial drivers. 30 left is community specific needs. Lowincome affordable homes, veterans graduated foster care seniors. This, if we did this for 1500 unit building, we would have 150 units for seniors. To entergoodbye thank you. Next speaker, please. Next picture, please. We will get this right. , sir. Hello. My name is. Ive been a resident of soma for nine years. What im seeing is thatwhen i was little it was always about what if is a filipino. What is it is always a binary are you this or that. People thought you are so sure of so few categories, but do we have an opportunity to recognize something that doesnt happen in a lot of other cities. Weve done this for other demographics. We can do it for us, too. We can show that these are steps we can take to combat all this development and what it does or displacement. We all know what will happen if we continue development if we continue bringing in certain income categories and wholl be made to leave. Now, if we can have these designations of cultural importance and preservation, if we can maintain cultivate and acknowledge people, continue to grow the special thing we have that other areas do not, we can show how it can be done. We can be the leaders. We can push back against the changes that are brought on by economics instead of community. Lets find a way to work together. Lets pass these and maintain what brings so many people here, so many kinds of people. Thanks. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Its not working. Will take the next speaker and come back to you, this prompted next speaker, please. My name is jason bionic. On the Program Manager forworkshop with longestrunning asianamerican asianpacific organization in the city and probably in the country. We work out of the soma district. We hope to continue to do so for a long time. Wed like to thank you for introducing these resolutions and real that you do pass them. I think that to pass them can go a long way to creating visibility for our communities and help us feel that our history and our stories do matter. I think a lot of the work we do is the great space for communities to tell their stories. A measure like this can go a long way. To the work people are doing to bring in their stories out there. As a person of color, you never really feel you must feel like youre outside. To be will to feel that you are part of the city, is important. To have that acknowledged, so thank you for introducing it but we hope you do passive. Thank you very much. Did we get it fixed . [video]thats my son. Wayne on the gurney lifeless.

There are a lot of services that allow people come here come to our communities to seek and provide culturally relevant culturally Responsive Services that allow them to find comfort income in San Francisco and in the community.
