Item 29 an ordinance to amend the Green Building code and the environment code to establish the code for Building Construction facilitating the development of renewal incurs and updating the provisions for city this in a date of 2017 providing the understanding for the local guidelines and ceqa determinations. Supervisor wiener thank you, colleagues this is straightforward under the ordinance new construction up to temple stories in height will require to be installed solar elements on project rooftop for electrical or heating the legislation was supported unanimously by both the department of public works and the Environment Commission todays california Building Code requires month new construction up to 10 stories to designate 15 percent of rooftop area as solar ready this is so shore can be installed in the future the legislation before us today builds off the state law ready requirement and require 15 not just solar ready but solar naturally in terms of the solar is sfm is installed with the building is built for electricity or heating in the euro we remind it is important we continue our strong push to alternative nonfufls energy this is to a clean future we in San Francisco lead the way on solar energy and continue to do that this legislation i should noted is the first part of what is a twopart effort to promote rooftops as New Buildings are added to the city the next ordinance expands the provision to allow for green roofs and that is forthcoming were working with the Planning Department on the legislation i want to thank gary coper from the department of the environment in developing this ordinance and andrea power and in Committee Supervisor peskin raised an issue with what the provision that go exempts from the ordinance basically to server farms buildings basically have angle inordinate number of services and require work on the rooftop so it is not a good place supervisor peskin asked if that couldnt potential or inintentionally exempt out believes that are not fitting into that category so over the loose week we went to the City Attorneys Office and i distributed a very small but impactful amendment changing page 6 line 21 the word like that and function the City Attorney buildings will make sure were only capturing really buildings that that is why they exist in other words, the farms can address this further if there are questions ive distributed the amendment and move we make that amendment to page 6 line 21 colleagues thank you in advance for your support. Thank you so thats the motion to amend is there a second be seconded by supervisor mar are supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president first of all, i want to say i absolutely support this legislation and thank you to supervisor wiener and their staff. Their excellent work as well as the department of the environment i i dont think well hear in john gibner, deputy City Attorney there is any difference continue the word use and the word function i think if we were to replace the electronic data progressing with server farms as you recall theres a definition that offstreet parking i cant maxwell poisoned a decade ago that will work the problem with the Electronic Data Processing that can be used and exploited to exempt legislation from this then weve attempted but server farms is a better term than daylight processing i do see a difference so ill submit that to john gibner, deputy City Attorney to whether or not the server farms it defined as maxwell defined that john gibner, deputy City Attorney to supervisor wieners request for an explanation of the difference between use and function i agree down pretty much the same the change in the ordinance will conform the language of the Building Code the Building Code has a existence of the term primary function as opposed to primary use that primary function ill pull up the existence now is a major activity for which the facility is intend and it goes on to include to explain corridors and exits and entrances and booms dont have a major function only the facility the purpose of the amendment was to make clear using the nomenclature of the Building Code that that we are only talking about the facilities for which the primary function the major use is Electronic Data Processing center. As server farms i did a quick search i couldnt find silver farms in the municipal code having searched the municipal code ill be happy to look at this further. If i may through the chair thank you for the explanation of function as compared to use what is Electronic Data Processing theres no existence i dont want to leave that to interpretation buildings full of human beings that you are do entry and that kind of work is precisely what this supervisor didnt want to exempt if we can delay this to later in the meeting and see if you can find a definition on state codes for server farms it supervisor wiener is willingly perhaps that solves the issue. Supervisor wiener i dont have a problem with a brief delay if we use the word server farms it is an extremely narrow exemption because again, it it is a server farm or Something Like that cooling equipment on the roof and no room another possibility to add the following language at the end after the section 4. 201. 2 comma not feasible to comply with the requirements there are a couple of ways to narrow that and ill be happy to do brief delay so perhaps we can get clarification. Okay mr. Gibner. Happy one other point of clarification the term Electronic Data Processing facility is used not code but not defined in the Building Code is used as an example of a type of facility thats why that language is there. Madam president ill request to have a brief delay and hear from other items and come back to this shortly. Before we move on can we pass the amendment that is proposed as without objection, without objection the amendment passes and return to this item later in the agenda madam clerk next item. Madam president it is 2 303 if you want to go to the recommendation of accommodations starting with supervisor cowen.

Without objection that item passes. Madam clerk to roll call for introductions. Supervisor farrell is the first member to introduce new buses business. Supervisor kim. Im excited to announce today a proposal to make kink freeforall San Francisco residents in the Upcoming School year since 1960 the statistic and the masters plan has been promised to make Higher Education freeforall could i well take with an step closer in the city and county of San Francisco and make that a reality 1010 a red state is the first state to make City College Freeforall stat residents that are students and the first to use the public dollars and quickly followed by the state of oregon and in chicago the program im proposing will be the First Program in the country and nation to make city college for every san franciscan regardless of age or income of gpa and well take the prerequisites act out the door and everyone should be able to assess the city college whether a high school or is an adult trying to pick up additional job skills to be able to move into a higher pga you cant be job or a cleaner or an immigrant to take computer classes or esl classes as you may know city college was free in San Francisco until 1983 and currently our California Community College Enrollment are 46 a unit and students fulltime for year two semesters telephone units pay over one thousand dollars annually thats the unfortunate costs that many students pay much, much more in attending city college and books and childcare and transportation and, of course, cost of living we talk about how we can make San Francisco more affordable and the conversation at the board of supervisors is often and rightly focused on the cost of housing and make hours mower affordable for san franciscans but i think a key part of conversation to figure out how to make san franciscans afford to live here and part that have by taking down the barriers that assess Higher Education and city college is a primary institution and across the country in helping our residents rise to the middleincome and live here our current president talked about make City College Free we have two approximately candidates Hillary Clinton and Bernie Sanders to make City College Free but here for San Francisco we have an opportunity to make that talk into a reality for the residents that live here and can do that without any type of barriers or prerequisites and another issue to address understanding we have many low income students that are eligible for fee waivers but have barriers they canned afford the costs of boxes or childcare or other needs and so the program is for eligibility for those waivers will also allow you to be eligibility for one thousand dollars scholarship to help pay for the additional costs we have a limited budget in the city and county and any priorities so im not proposing though how im propose to fund this through a ballot measure i introduced in november were modestyly increasing for buildings and homes valued at 5 million and above a new bracket for property sales at 25 million and above this revenue will generate approximately 29 million for the general fund over the next 10 years on average and im proposing we use a portion of this fund we estimate between 12 to 14 million to make college freeforall san franciscans this is an investment for the future and the right bet so lets bet on our students and let bet think job train for adults to approve their skills and bet on the seniors that want to integrate by taking computer classes and bet on the immigrants that want to lower than languages and other job training i mentioned city college is not just an Educational Institution but helps many of the residents we know that on average the difference you can make in eastern income between having a High School Diploma is 11,000 it is a sight earning gap one we want to help to bridge with that free program but it helps us build community by allowing many of the residents to help to integrate by learning skill sets and meeting other students and members of the community and we dont limit it by age this is the First Program that isnt just eligible for high school students. I learned today from city College Trustees theyre just as many 5060 years old in city college we should make City College Freeforall and in fact, many adults go back to collect college we want to cover them ive asked the City Attorney and controller to draft a free college fund to secure the funding from the new general fund from this november to make this a reality here in this state i want to recognize and thank sxhoermz and supervisor campos and supervisor peskin and supervisor avalos to examine their support and recognize supervisor president breed and supervisor peskin that is in confusions with age 21 and our office how to pilot portions of this program this Upcoming School year browner the package of the luxury housing tax and want to recognize 2121 work use of force the Labor Council and matt haney and others that are president for working with us on this proposal and finally this is the beginning of this process there are many things to examine how to make sure that childcare is assessable to all students to attend their classes and well certainly be working with the early childcare and supervisor yee to make sure we are creating an inclusive as a system as possible and lets be a leader again San Francisco, california lead the way for the state of california but of course for our country as well second im introducing legislation to give the board more overview no largescale events and the fiscal impacts to the city a direct result of many colleagues will concur a lack of transparency and preparation over the extend costs during sprob and the impacts for Small Businesses in the adjacent area wear eagerly one way or the other the controllers report weve learned many lessons as a city of santa clara had an amendment to be reimbursed we have over 4. 3 million for the general fund this, of course, is not included the recent reporting of overflow room for the stewardship sfpd 5 million more than the Previous Year the governance i think everyone regardless of their position the confuses that happened prior to the event and not before or after this establishes the amendment of the transportation code for the entering Staff Committee on traffic and transportation ive got from approving any major event lasting 5 or more consequence days unless the board of supervisors has determined that is fiscal and responsible we must seek to recover the costs and if we make a determination not to say our responsibility to explain this to voter and why i look forward to discussing the merits with my colleagues and want to recognize supervisor peskin and supervisor avalos and supervisor eric mar their cosponsorship and to help and finally colleagues today, this board unanimously had made a commitment over a month ago to vote on subsequent legislation inform prop c which this board has unanimously placed on the june 7th ballot supervisor peskin and i coauthors make sure this legislation was before the board for a vote so we provide for certainty for our developers in the pipeline in terms of our k3e78gz of the increase in Affordable Housing production i would e wed like them to contribute to the city i trust this board will sure we hear this ordinance next trust e tuesday and bring a close to several months of nooshgsz and hearing at the Land Use Committee we can finalize this deal and build more Affordable Housing for the workingclass and middleincome households in the city the rest i submit thank you, supervisor kim.

Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much madam clerk colleagues today, im introducing a ballot measure to once and for all fix the broken street tree system in San Francisco youve heard me talk about that a lot over the years and a number of i have spoken about that as well i like to say if we were to put that brother the people smart people into a room and shut the door and say you cannot come out until you draw the worse scenario theyll come out with a street tree we have here 90 in San Francisco currently one and 5 street trees in San Francisco part of urban forest and having a great urban forest is important for the communities height and this has a lot of healthy trees yet we treat your street trees in particular as if theyre an afterthought the city has a terrible policy where we require that the adjacent Property Owners be responsible for and care for the tree whether or not the owner planted the try or whether or not the owner wants the tree and whether or not the owner has a physical or Financial Capacity to care for the tree youre not only required to care but fix the broken sidewalks and liable if anyone is injured because of the broken sidewalk or a tree problem so what this policy does narration to be unfair to Property Owners particularly to lower income and the senior Property Owners is insures the climate of unified awhile some pertains do a phenomenal job caring for the trees others do nothing or they hire the cheapest arborist that go ahead and mutilates the tree as a result, the urban forest is shrinking when it should be growing and as weve seen for almost 40 years trees dont expedite well in San Franciscos budget we want to say thats not enough theyll never be funded have not normal process this ballot measure first is mandates that the city take back all one hundred and 5 thousand trees and our sidewalks and medium and other rightofway and the city care for the tree and the city fix the sidewalks broken by the trees and the city assumes the liability for the tree and sidewalk disadvantage the ballot measures creates a dedicated lockbox funding to make sure were Telegraph Hill funding and not just taking back the trees and let them die specifically the legislation creates a parcel tax for the aviated majority of Property Owners that ranges from thirty to 35 per month it is a progressive parcel tax that Properties Like commercial properties will pie significantly more than an singlefamily or a building the parcel tax had been in combines with the general fund support so far street trees over the loose 10 years the city budgeted 8 million a year so the legislation sets that 8 million as a baseline and the parcel tax revenue will be on top of that baseline so were not replacing the city funding with the parcel tax revenue with those two sources combined the city will be in a position to take back responsibility for the tree related sidewalks damage and the amount generated will allow the city to expand our street trees population from one hundred 5 thousand to over 150,000 and dedicated funds to care for the trees we went through a comprehensive process over years to come up with that measure i want to thank friends of the urban forest and davrn flanagan for preaching to the city to endless Community Meetings to talk about it there years and years in in addition over the past year weve compound a working group and park groups a tree organizations and environmental groups to brainstorm and refine this proposal this is what has come out the parcel tax was conditioned on the city care for the trees in the future tries to dump trees on Property Owners the parcel tax will be cancelled to colleagues this is i think a huge step in the right direction for the November Ballot requires a 2 3rds vote to fix this problem once and for all i want to thank andreas power in my office for years on this legislation colleagues he look forward to the conversation and look forward to our support and the rest i submit.

The New York Primary for civil times in any adult times well have candidates from the outside momentum from the preliminary that had ideas houses going in a different direction and each time those candidates were stopped in the new york governor jerry brown i know twice and al gore when he ran the first time im not looking forward to ill be surprised if anything changes the issues about the divorcing and the Affordable Housing we could have done something 20 years ago and should have the last neighborhoods that is ideally for it population the north of market were trying to we wanted the protection for many neighborhood against gentrification against displacement which often means death unfortunately in any neighborhood and preshgs preparedness were getting robbed more Affordable Housing low Income Housing very protecting housing assisted housing and Program Housing im not hold my breath. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Im going to talk about use of presently exist housing and future housing low income id like the city to draw a clear line between smoking between housing that is low income and also distinguish the way you protect no hotels not smoke free air not only in their own apartment but dont want to go through elevators that people that have been smoking and their exposed the shelters they have not been free of smoking with doors Oscar Pistorius directly to places people have beds in big romance and lots of coughing and smoking within the structure and even though they cant smoke in the bedrooms still their people that could go in and out of the smoking room and sleep next to you 3 feet away that have been smoking we need to look at the costs not only after people get sick from smoking but how allow them opportunities lowcost to live in a place even though their in shelters not immediately adjacent people smoking and the the shelters are built and operated so it accommodates smokers with special rooms but no special room for nonsmokers to have a breakroom speaks for itself so smoking thank you, maam next item, please.

Thank you so much all right. So i want to read to you the first libraries of senate bill the sthoor it senator lenos we appreciate the peace officers dedication to Public Safety the good things of the Public Servants shouldnt be tafrnd who that may engage in wrongdoing from others and the bill continues the Public Safety as office violations of civil rights or acquires into support incidents really undercuts the public trust of Law Enforcement it makes it harder for the tens of thousands of hard work peace officers to do their job and it also dangerous Public Safety the push for transparency and Law Enforcement is something ive been advocating for like many of you in the chamber and here in San Francisco and one i am the first to recognize the majority of our officers do great work that often goes unrecognized but if so woethd on invert of members of the public now if we give Police Officers the right to take individuals lives when they deem it is necessary we agree we have a responsibility to display they did so using a sound and most importantly unbiased decisionmaking process and the senate bill 1286 will do the following to assess sustained charges of misconduct use of force and as a result and identified precisely it allows people who filed complaints access to basic information related to the compliment so senate bill 1286 allows protection against unnecessary complaints and protects the use of records older 5 years in litigation proceedings and records that which is considered to be frivolous it insures that that is what will not be maintained in personal records are considered in making transfers or promotions now, while that is abundantly clear we need more balance in the scales i want to impress on you not just a San Francisco snaefktd Kern Community was one of the deadliest counties in fact, of 14 deadly it county in american 7 of them 50 percent are made up in the great state of California Senate bill 1286 is not an anti police bill but an affordability bill this is created for more transparent and foster an overall better and Stronger Police communities residents now i hope to have our support it brings San Francisco, california from behind the current convert like florida and texas and half of the and puts us in a leadership position when it comes to Police Reform colleagues ami ive made a few changes that came out of committee you should have received a copy ill read into the record to people can hear the amendments on page line add holiday manipulative in conjunction to the great senator senator leno and languages for protections to officers against frivolous complaint and page 2 line 4 through 6 have been deleted as the requirement for locality for public hearings removed from senate bill and in closing id like to thanks my cosponsors supervisor president breed and supervisor kim, supervisor avalos and supervisor peskin and supervisor yee for joining me this is a resolution simply supporting senate bill supported by senator leno thank you. Thank you supervisor cowen supervisor tang thank you supervisor cowen for your remarks i think that actually, the amendments that the senator made to the bill do improve on the concerns inch raised so im glad for example, that the portion regarding the public hearings for appeals hearings has been removed from the bill at the state level but i think what gives me pause regarding the openness of the record i think that it really novices members of the public to almost serve as you know, almost as personal managers for the San Francisco Police Department i know that today we have approved two amazing Police Commissioners to serve and the Police Commission is indeed charged that investigating when their certain issues related to personally matters with the Police Department in in addition he appreciate that supervisor cowen you have the charter measure that is enforced roe vs. Wade the ocii to yes, maam powerfully them we have structures in place to address the issues not to mention the brady procedure that must be followed as well as the motions to insure that our Police Officers you know their records the records in terms of university of california, San Francisco are considered i do believe there are measures in place and putting out the records of even though their sustained i guess sustained charges that it does innovative some level i think of lack of safety for some of the officers embarked in those cases and novices the public to see information that is not full and perfect i think that is a bit dangerous to put that information out there because i think that all of us know were for the perfect as well. But you have imperfect information about a personal records invites activities and behaviors well not want to see happen i dont feel comfortable supporting this resolution but i do appreciate the intent behind senator leno and supervisor cowen are trying to put forth with those pieces thank you supervisor tang supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president and first thank and commend senator leno for his work on behalf of our city and region to move forward with the key progressive priorities im proud to stand with him on issues ranging from ellis act to minimum wage to kill switches to marriage quality to health care and Protection Measures i went senator lenos on criminal Justice System and stood with him on many of the efforts and respect his work an Police Reform yet on this particular bill in its current form it goes beyond what ill able to support in opening up personal filed ill support a generous legislation for high levels of foreclosure like lethal or e entrench gregs and for certain uses of force if investigated and found to lack merit it is my hope as it bill goes through the process there be will meaningful negotiations for a modified version i know that senator leno is one of the most skilled legislators in San Francisco and a very go process were not asked to vote today on what might result from legislative but one pending today ive long supported the civilian oversight and policing and affordability back in 2003 i supported proposition h that was troven i looked at the voting and it passes 5 is to 49 percent he supported it and prop h created the modern Police Commission with the appointment and allowed the ocii to go directly with the Police Commission with serviced misconduct allegations and support the occ funding and supervisor cowen leadership i supported the ballot measures that supervisor cowen supported to require occ investigates for all use of force and support body worn cameras and resolution or so including asking a federal investigation to the department as well as a resolution asking important a very hard look at the use of force policies to bring them into the 21st century but for this particular bill in its cutters form i not been able to support it and voting no, today i do want to request, however, there is the first resolve clause i did goes beyond to particular bill i commend senator leno for his leadership for transparency and Law Enforcement agencies that is page 2 line 14 to 16 ill ask we divide the question and vote on that clause separately from the rest of the resolution thank you. All right. Thank you supervisor wiener supervisor campos. You know, i want to just echo the comments that supervisor cowen it is a mild piece of legislation thats been other things in tom ammiano tried to do this what happens to provide transparency for the Police Officer record is that the police over unions where a poa or other representative will also blocks it im actually disappointed to mare this is not going to be a unanimous voted for the entire board of supervisors i think it sends the wrongs message because that is on the issue of transparency the entire board of supervisors should be voting for that i think that is kind of scary to think were not on that page collectively and ill be honest i think that it is sort of kind of provides a justification forgive some of the tax ticks weve seen around the poa and other Police Officer units so ill ask my colleagues who are not supporting to reconsider that sends the wrong message and in terms of the you know the transparency of these records we have actually seen how the system will work because all of these records were public before this is Disciplinary Proceedings for Police Officers were public actually until recently and prior to that i think that prior to them becoming privy think San Francisco the way we approach those procedures and those records i think was a very responsible way we actually struck the right balance in terms of making sure we electricity the confidentiality need you think that is a important vote i commend senator leno for you know continuing the work of tom ammiano and others that tried to get this through and i think that we should come out strongly in support of transparency. Thank you supervisor campos and before we move on supervisor cowen you made a motion to amend our legislation i did. And seconded by supervisor peskin and colleagues the amendments without objection without objection the amendment passed supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president and colleagues, i have the honor ever attending the press conference that schaert held over a months ago with supervisor president breed and members of the aclu and members of the state media guild and indeed with supervisor campos said is absolutely; correct is this is a much narrow our second attempt by senator leno that is being levi want to commend the supervisor for bringing this forward and want to say with no decide retire to supervisor wiener when a member of this board announces theyll vote no on the resolution but still want to amend wording in the resolution i dont know how does that work you said you wanted to change a particular clause. He wants to basically divide the question of the resolution and vote separately on one piece of the legislation not making an amendment. Through the president to supervisor wiener can you restate you wanted to divide and supervisor wiener. Im not seek to amend anything i happen to vote on the first resolve clause lines 14 to 16 separately from the resolution. Resolve that the board of supervisors commends senator leno for his leadership and in the efforts to create and enhance transparent introduce the Law Enforcement agency albeit. Better strict the that. Thank you anything else supervisor peskin. Thats it as supervisor kim. Actually, my question on the dividing of the file i want to be clear were telephone call taking two votes one and a resolve clause commending senator mark leno and the other question everything else. Right. How does that look on the record. Weve not done a division of the file on one line like this weve divided pieces of legislation this is a resolution ive not seen this what does it look like to divide the file please explain thorough the president were currently showing you an example what that looks like what you voted on our legislation 2 point owe 0 and 3 votes the first as the president knows on the waiver for this item to go to committee and take those two votes the first vote on the divided portion the second vote on the remainder of the document. Okay you know, i do remember us divided the file my legislation on the 2 housing unit owe we divided the file and took out a portion of the legislation that was substantive with an impact on the tenants and the landowner that make sense i didnt know but i see what that looks like on the record are i want to support sb 26 many making sure were holding other and allowing public assess to the information really i think this protects our good officers we have many, many, many amazing outstanding Police Officers that do role go back and work to protect the community and increasing assess to this information will only further a positive and trusting relationship with the members of the public so i also am expressing my as for the or support. Thank you, supervisor kim supervisor campos. Back to supervisor wieners point of order or actually privilege which he has the right to divide the question and how i want to say for the record i actually think that it is i understand why he will want to do that but i think that you know you cant have both ways; right . Not on the one hand i agree with the language we commend senator leno to have trained and to the Law Enforcement agency so you can say, i voted for that and at the same time vote against the very substance of trying to bring the transparency you, you know look your for transparency or not this is not one of those like you know can i find a place in the middle to be able to say that i am for transparent in policing in San Francisco but at the same time Community Based along with the poa is doing im sorry not you cant have it both ways you know, we dont have a vote that automatically happens but should be clear that the people that vote against the substance of this resolution are people who have citing with the Police Officers association on the pressing issue of transcripts should we have transparency we vote against it portion of the resolution means you agree with the poa we shouldnt have thats what that means. Thank you supervisor campos and supervisor cowen. Thank you i wanted to get it on the record that im against dividing the resolution i actually agree with im sorry to interrupt you supervisor cowen ive been notified by the clerk that the motion to divide the question is not debatable unfortunately. Im deity it what im seeing saying i dont like it thats a statement just to be clear i believe that is stripping out the purpose of the resolution youre either for transparency or not. Thank you supervisor cowen supervisor cohens. I think everything that feeds to be said has been said. Okay so with that, im going to supervisor farrell. Supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president breed so you know appreciate this dialogue here not a debate right a dialogue you know look i appreciate the resolution by supervisor cowen and agree with that he need more transparency across the government and across the Police Department and others departments with all due respect your for transparency or not flipping this around the issue i have with the underlined bill with the generic transparency has to do with with the fact it was not limited to to the community and happy i thought that was as a continues to widen to the legislation im concerned the disclosure of the acquisitions are powerful as charges that are sustained and the potential for abuse here and writing officer in the unwanted consequence is very real i building they can have a detrimental effect on Police Officers and thats not something i can support if charters are sustained the use of force or otherwise the public dloush absolutely not a problem but mere acquisitions to be part of a record this opens up frivolous showdowns that flies in the face of supporting our Police Officers we dont think every single day there are many questions raised within our Police Department locally over the past few months but as those discussions and investigations wind to the different processes i dont think we can lose sited of the mainstream that put their lives on the line every single day in San Francisco and defer our strong support but in the streets and in their careers so because of that part of legislation this is not something i can support. Thank you supervisor farrell and supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president i just want to just i dont think that needs clarification but some remarks have been made ill make sure that is clear i think i was clear about my position on many and what i support and dont support in addition to what the acquisitions and a number ever things this is has nothing to do with with trying to have that both ways to clearly taxi ask to divide the files abused it is appropriate to commend senator mark leno for his work even though i dont support 100 percent of the legislation. Thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor cowen. Less call the question. All right. So we have a number ever things to do i just want to be clear since this item requires 8 votes ill entertain a motion to waive the reference to committee and that will require 8 sros votes that is moved by supervisor wiener seconded by schoenz colleagues colleagues can we take that without objection . Well waiver the reference to committee unanimously and now on the item as amended the specific lines 14 through 16 to divide the questions specifically can we can we take that without objection . No. We cant say we have to do it we cant not do it supervisor cowen. Fine. Thank you. Wait, wait, wait a minute send one divided foil to committee and give the other. This is not a duplication thorough the president not a duplication. Were not send anything to committee were voting for the entire item and the ability to do so we would not have gotten 8 votes and this would have failed and go to committee and not required to go to committee well votes on the file separately madam president or madam clerk or City Attorney if we vote no on that clause and no longer commend senator leno for his leadership and then voted on the rest of it so the rest of the file we say we support the legislation that senator leno has introduced wouldnt that work in terms of and, vote no on lines 14 through 16 we commend senator leno for his leadership and we all want to support that unanimously. No. The commending of the i mean the commending senator leno we dependent debate. You cant have that both ways. But. To leave this recessing resolution im happy to vote no on those 3 lines and call senator leno and commend him for his leadership. Okay supervisor campos. Yes. I think that consistent with what i nodded i think that is kind of a ruse in terms of Police Vehicle i playing with word im ready to vote no on the lines i think that senator leno knows what were saying we commend what hes doing but not okay with the try to create it idea were you know trying to do something that were not. laughter and so i think that youre either with this or not and that i think in the spirit of what senator leno is doing and trying accomplish i move to supervisor cohens i think we vote no on this language and call him up and say why i did it i commend what youre doing by the way, trying to be as transparent i understand where every single you are coming from but not to vote on the 3 lines to make a point. Supervisor president breed i defer i think when it comes 0 lgbt issues when it takes to come to quality but waivers when it is to complieblthd issues and makes people unimproving comfort were with that or not senator leno api ive worked with him this is something hes introduced multiple times he believes in this it this transparent that needs to happen across the desire state now senator leno will understand if we vote no it is more important he has our support this is an uphill battle we take plenty of statements and challenges and many, many notions across the country we cant continue to be soft on this we must be principled and we must be vote and support that.

So madam clerk for clarity we need to do that in order to have a discussion. The votes on 45 either is unanimous or this is continued a week it is no longer unanimous. Okay commissioner avalos. Thank you supervisor president breed and thank you for asking that communities as a whole joint committee with the San Francisco Youth Commission the San Francisco go Youth Commission is really the sponsor of vote 16 and 17 they asked me to carry it to the board of supervisors and to me it is my role to serve as an alial ally theyve been working with private and public high schools to recruit the kids to a Youth Academy to work to gather support for vote 16 in about a month ago the board of education had approved unanimously their support for vote 16 as a concept and just lecture the democratic extra committee voted in support of vote 16 a lot of that is young people leading the effort on their advocacy and San Francisco is known are for that we have a lot of budget that supports the development of young people young people involved in their advocacy and their own empowerment ignore the youth and communities and that this is before the board of education and before the committees where has been convincing about how when you allow young people to have an opportunity to vote they can become more consistent voters their adult lives general ages between 19 leave home or going to do school or involved in young adulthood they dont at that particular time in voting maybe when they get to 18 but when those first few years of adulthood come through they dont vote consistent until 20s or early 30s if we allow the young people to vote earlier theyll develop a passion and consistency and carry them through their adult years and so want to make sure with the young people have the ability to come before us and a body to serve with the Youth Commission the board of supervisors to help promote many legislation to educate us about young people and their participation in the electric to recall process like our support as a committee as a whole and be glad to have your support thank you supervisor avalos commissioner cohen. Thank you through the chair i have a question to supervisor avalos if i may i was curious between vote 16 and us sit as a committee as a whole the Youth Commission meets regularly and come for Public Comment and certainly met with me on issues theyre concerned about particularly around the budget im confused why it is necessary to sit as a committee as a whole in a joint meeting. Thank you through the chair so the Youth Commission as i said have asked i carry that legislation with the board of supervisors carry this legislation because they dont have the ability to get an initiative on the ballot as a ally im serve the position weve had one Committee Meeting in the rules Committee Last year, i building you prarnltd. Right. In that hearing reactually have wanted to make sure that young people can be with us and the Youth Commission advise the board of supervisors and mayor for the policy through the measure they asked us it is it make sense for a joint committee for the board of supervisors for an unprecedented chapter amendment that extends voting to the ages of 16 and 17 years old in San Francisco so it is past that have relationship we have with the Youth Commission that theyre not just advising us but a measure theyve crafted wears considering before us having that joint committee that joint discussion is worthy of our commissions in San Francisco. You make it through the chair to madam chair rosales you make an interesting locate i see sitting as a committee with with the Planning Commission that would be in a very important way to make important decision but not sowing to sit as a committee as whole with the Youth Commission particularly weve heard this in the rules committee of which i acknowledged being an active participant so i appreciate youre answering my questions and thank you for carrying the Youth Commission water to this body. Thank you madam chair rosales did you want to speak again. My last point that was a request of the Youth Commission we sit as a community as a whole a joint committee with the Youth Commission to me theyve done so moved so much work to have a Youth Academy to do the education with the Public Education it seems like part of progress they each set out to do last year and with a enormous amount of impact at the board of education and the Democratic Committee and the committees a lot of young people that had had incredible experience their issues about the prarpgsz they feel their whole life is changed around by advocating for young people that is like gold that is what we try to do develop those podiums for youth i young people to have this leadership so the ultimate impression expression is that sitting with the legislative body as advisory god body to have a discussion and possibly vote to move on the cheater amendment and thats not clear the Commission Wants to do that an enormous amount of obstacles with how there will work on the ballot it is important we elevate this to this body to this room and they show how much we value young people in San Francisco. A show a show support where the publics voice can, the strongest and debated and discussed. Madam chair rosales how many commissioners on the Youth Commission there are 11 that are appointed by each one of us and there are at least 6 appointed by the mayor we throughout the Youth Commissioners that are representing our district can sit side by side and have the bolt end whatever that is called it looks like a dug out one of those police radios. The expectation, of course, you said like well have our say but theyll all be able to speak 0 those who want to speak will be able to speak like those of us who want to speak i i guess. So were talking about a lengthy meeting. Doing the publics work of representing the people in San Francisco this is the place to do it and sometimes that it takes time. Thank you supervisor president breed i think you were getting at look ill support this today, i think i just want to say were setting a dangerous measure and commissioner peskin that skips the rules committee and now were doing this were user sir, your time is up. The rules committee to the rules committee i appreciate it i know the information i enjoy i postponed the commissioner, i enjoy but well be doing it went and time again to drum up an issue to support you know one view of the measure that is fine but thats been the function at the rules committee were doing in time and time again ill support it i appreciate supervisor avalos but i think want to make a statement we shouldnt be doing this Going Forward and weve done it twice within a few months im weary of that. Seeing none, names on the roster supervisor peskin. Commissioner farrell your for it but against it going i dont get it. Hell vote but hes thinking were moving in the wrong direction thats what i heard madam clerk. Supervisor farrell supervisor kim supervisor mar supervisor peskin supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed supervisor campos Councilmember Cole no there are 10 eyes with supervisor cowen in the descent i guess madam clerk excuse me does that mean that fails. Madam president that item is a motion resolution have to be amaze but recently in the last 6 months it board of supervisors has challenged whether or not months ago have been amaze or whether or not a Single Member can send a motion to a committee this is as a 10 to one vote is it so up to the body how they want to handle it. It means it passes 10 to one. Information. Point of order i believe last time. Supervisor wiener my apologies i believe the last time the chair ruled any one member can send a motion to Committee Supervisor peskin opposed that and the board it sets and precedent then it will take 6 supervisors to send an item to committee thats sets a precedence thats my understanding. Madam clerk my understanding if it item didnt passes unanimously it didnt pass i want clarity on that particular point. Madam president that is a difficult for me to provide an absolute in this instance in years past as supervisor peskin recalls a mission bay member may send a motion to committee and has successfully con so as they sends resolutions to committee but that has changed rent controls where you allowed a member of the public member and were talking about a voted is it possible. Commissioner avalos. Point of order is it possible to resend the vote and continue this motion until next week will are allow a majorities vote to the term whether we set it as a committee as a whole two week ago away. Ill make this this motion is approved now next. Okay. So moopt on items 38 my apologies we were moving quickly as he was collecting cosponsors i failed to get a second for changs number go changed to the warriors document. Okay. So madam president if you rescinded this vote and captured the second and so moved. Move forward and supervisor peskin and seconded by supervisor farrell for the vote on item 38 as amended has been rescinded unanimously supervisor tang youre making a motion to amend. Yes. Amend.
