The board of supervisors held a motion to be carried for these to be heard as a committee as a whole and the ordinance submitted to the voters are an ordinance amending the authorization of production and art use to be held at an election on april 28, 2021. Supervisor. We are working as hard as we can to protect and prepare for the distribution uses in San Francisco. However weve decided to limit this ordinance to the ordinance in the Mission Neighborhood and also have worked very closely with supervisor david campos office ensuring that we could provide protection in these two neighborhoods and that we would continue to work on other legislation throughout the city but also work throughout these ideas that we got including a clmc as well as other options as well through a legislative process. Before i open up the Public Comment i would like to recognize supervisor wiener. So, at this time, we will open it up to Public Comment. If there any members of the public you would like to provide Public Comment at this time, please come forward. Good afternoon supervisors, i am john the planning displacement of r groups in this city because of the boom and the city has had five years to do something about this and that is why we are here and that is why we are going to the ballot and the one dewclaws that was added tothe mission last week is that the supervisor moved in that we can be amended to the future without limitation all of it any of it and i will take votes and all of you understand why but it should be a par moved by the progressives if we have the majority or some future mayor by our site or by the moderates because they have majority by the mayor it should be worked out together and we agree. That is why we put that clause into the measure. I certainly urge you to support the measure and report november. Thank you. Thank you. Speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors. I sent a letter earlier but i will just read for the record right now. Mary liza here. The threat of cell space cell space is a premier counterculture that is home to countless memories over the decades the our Community Rallied around saving cell spacealthough many of you argued leveling tower. That anyone has the right to purchase and rearrange the view. Is my view not sacred . If mine is not sacred, how is yours . On another big movement is growing around the idea that the fine arts is a public fine art space and must be accessible to the public. Many feel that spaces is at least as important as the opera house. It is much older and has a lot more tradition and history. I am here to tell you that what we have is a culture clash in San Francisco. You can say which edifice is more important. Each has its following own supporters. We just want to share with you with that cell space is ours and much of the problems that we are dealing with today could have been avoided by developers saying okay, you can keep cell space [timer dings] we will just develop around it. Think about that and ask yourself, is it worth it . Thank you. Thank you next speaker please. Hi, thank you i am sharon storier i would like to thank supervisor kim and campos and i would like to thank all of the other supervisors who are trying to figure out some way this is our first way of trying to change the tide of our massive cultural loss. It has been devastating and so far nothing has happened. Is this the first step, and so far only a first step . Yes. Do we need cultural and Community Spaces . Of course we do. Is this enough for the mission . No, its not enough for the mission but it will be helpful to slow things down in the mission and be helpful as a starting place for you guys to be able to amend it and be able to talk on perhaps tax incentives. Obviously, this is the city that most of us could move into and live in right now. Most of us cant come in and find cultural spaces to work. Mostt of the nonprofits who are leaving or have left couldnt afford to move in right now. So, i think it is really important for us to keep in mind that this is our city and it is incumbent upon our supervisors its community and its citizens and its corporations and it supervisors are developing and we rely on you to try to stop what is going on and reverse it and lets be the first city in the nation to figure out how we can invite the Cultural Resources that we left back into the city and the city that solves a problem and that from tellers can build here. [timer dings] next speaker please good afternoon supervisors. First of all eye would like to thank supervisors kim and campos for this initiative i think it is a very important piece for us in the mission. This is a very important piece in the Mission District for us to preserve and work on in the future to make it stronger. The city is known for its arts and culture. This space provides opportunities for young people and it generates revenue for us in the mission and the city and thats why people come to the Mission District. I just recently wasnt able to renew their lease and they been there for 40 years monthtomonth and i might not be able to renew it so they are in jeopardy. There is other space in the mission that are dealing with their landlord to establish themselves they are to run do their lease. There is a major space to the neighborhood. Currently the Unemployment Rate for latinos are 1. 8 and we are building carwashes and auto shops and bait shops and gas stations and we need to be a little bit more thoughtful about how we build and how it affects their communities. I think this can be strong and it is a great start so please support this item with our voters thank you. Thank you next speaker please. Yes, my name is flora davis and i lost my studio of 26 years last four73 artists lost their space and i am excited that the voters can vote on this in the fall and i was one of the lucky ones who found a studio in the mission you can see the pdr is very critical. The building i am in is actually was in where i would like to see hire renters get in there there used to be 40 artists in the mission and now theres only 20 artists left. There are remaining artist groups left in the city and i am really happy for this i spent the last few years working with supervisor kims office to see what we can do to save pdr. It is not a very sexy thing to talk about i didnt even know what it meant with these things. A lot of different artists dont want to talk about is im nervous being up here right now i just rather do my artwork. But im happy to see this is something that is in the works im happy as moving forward [timer dings] so thank you very much. Thank you. Next speaker please hello supervisors my name is scott kuyper. I manage an art studio in thatthe cell neighborhood and i a would like to continue to see the same protections over the years a number of arts groups convened with the legislators to form a emergency arts displacement tax force some are artist studios and some are in intermission and among many more. Were all facing displacement this represented hundreds of working artists and hundreds of pdr space use for arts and theater. They have all lost their space since last year. All of these spaces have been lost in the last year alone. This is just the first step. We would deftly like to see this go a little further. We are hoping to look for a more comprehensive policy that will help mitigate the creative and colorful soul. In what looks like its being pushed back to september under j. P. Morgan there is already converted the Community Space formerly known as cell and it is sitting vacant and nick has pulled it off [timer dings] and he is pulled it off and its toward our community a part. Help us to create a productive and creative environment to keep San Franciscowhat we know and have loved it to be. Thank you. Next speaker please. If theres any other members of the public that would like to speak please line up to my left. Good afternoon supervisors my name is i am asking you guys to support this ballot measure. I am here to speak on the space loss for these pdrs we have seen a lot of vietnamese children that would not be the developers find would not be the developers find in those places to be [indecipherable] i think this is a decision that the voters are going to take in this space and in the mission and i really appreciate your support this valid measure and this will all be best to let the Voters Decide what is best for city thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please. Good evening i am not so sure that this is supposed to be on this line but i am talking about [indecipherable] this is about the assessment and building code. Actually we have already done this one and you can talk to mr. Davidson he is right outside. We are doing a committee of the whole for a completely different item. If you can hold on for just a minute because this is for Something Else we will get somebody to address your concerns. Thank you. Next speaker please. I am a market activist in 2009 on the lancaster gallery on Market Street and at the time it seemed to be a neighborhood that needed a lot of help. It was amazing how fast it changed and how fast it went from being a and interesting neighborhood two very interesting in the Real Estate Industry and now are looking at a situation that occurred half a decade ago and what is deeply frustrating to us is how little the policy has changed from being one that supports development to being one where we need protection and has been very frustrating. Okay, are there any other members of the public you would like to speak on this particular issue . Seeing none, Public Comment is now close. This hearing has been held and is now filed. [gavel] supervisor wiener. I would be happy to defer to supervisor kim and make comments when she is done if thats all right. Supervisor kim okay supervisor wiener. Thank you mme. Supervisor. I am happy to have this pdr space in San Francisco and i have dealt with the zoning issues on more occasions and i count this board is highly capable of developing these measures and they can be stricter and looser depending on the situation. I dont know if its completely accurate but even if it is supervisor kim really knows how to do legislation he has brought this measure here today and set of sending it to the mayor extend to the voters so i just dont understand why we wouldnt just take this up at the board. This measure is extremely strict and i think it will have a lot of impacts that people arent necessarily anticipating in fact, as i mentioned last week whenever in the middle the night when this came up that kate sophis the head of sf made a our Manufacturing Industry organization in San Francisco and it needs to be collaboratively doneand not been done in a way that this has been moved forward. And i have told ms sophis that this will have unintended consequences i dont support this legislation i dont supported i dont think it should be sent to the voters they should be handed to the board of supervisors in a prerogative way the pdr votes that i participate in i dont recall each and every one of them but i seem to recall that if not all of them almost all of them are unanimous that typically need to be done in a can when it comes to zoning we should be doing that in a collaborative way at the board of supervisors hopefully with not just eight votes but 11 votes and to do it this way which should be a 6 to 9 vote to send this to the voters this just doesnt make sense to me so i will vote against this legislation today. Thank you supervisor wiener. Supervisor campos. Thank you mme. Pres. I am asking you to support this with the voters because i do think there is a level of protection with the issue when voters are the ones who decide to enact a measure and i think that that is the benefit of this and i also think that it is appropriate given that we are targeting specific issues relative to the south of market and the mission to other parts of the city and i think that it is the right approach and i think that is respectful of the fact that other members of the board have different ideas that address some concerns that relate to their district. And so i think that is an appropriate way to approaching this and an appropriate way to have it on the ballot and i thank supervisor kim and her staff for the work that she has put in this and as well as supervisor hagan in my office to have worked on this thank you. Thank you supervisor campos. Supervisor peskin. Thank you mme. Supervisor. I would like to respectfully address some of the comments of supervisor wiener in and around the process and the process was that supervisor kim has proposed to put this measure before the body where this legislation is but before the voters. The 1996 charter allowed for members of the ford to circumvent this body and circumvent public discussion a legitimate tool and it should go directly to the voters the respectfully, i submit a legitimate ntool and it should go directly to the voters the respectfully, i submit the following. If supervisor wiener would submit the words to other measures on this ballot that were not the subject of deliberations in front of this ballot that would place before the voters before members of the body which is absolutely legitimate, we would have an absolutely different conversation. So, let us be consistent and let us say the following thing which is, live by the ballot and die by the ballot. Which is, a majority of the members in this ballot voted for the mission moratorium. The voters ultimately chose to reject that. But, when you go to the ballot it is often times the right thing to go back to the ballot and while that may be different relative to prop f and prop i i say that actually the right thing is to actually go back to the voters and lets discuss this again by and through the ballot. I want to say these things to the record and i want to say that respectfully to supervisor wiener but, it is very difficult to say that you should not have this conversation before this body and before the voters went for members of this body but other measures before this body. Thank you supervisor peskin. Supervisor kim. Thank you mme. Supervisor i would just like to say that i would like to finalize this before the board today. Last week proposition highlighted the growing concern of the alarming loss of manufacturing repair as well as the strength and enforcement of the current controls put in place to protect and encourage these types of use and consequently the jobs that come with it. Over a year and a half ago our Office Reached out to over 100 different artists that were at fear of being evicted this was termed over 40 different artists that were evicted and through this process we brainstormed and brought together different ideas of how we can protect and encourage art uses three range of controls. I do want to remind the artists [inaudible] although are initially are were legislation had started out as an ordinance to protect and encourage artists to stay here in San Francisco i mentioned that one of our outcomes of our meetingswas that the Arts Commission whose staff participated in the our commission did a poll of 600 artists here in San Francisco or that used to be in San Francisco at the overwhelming majority close to 70 are either being evicted or being threatened to be evicted close to 70 were afraid of being evicted in the future we felt it was a prudent to move forward with these land use controls we move forward with the strongest measure and thats why we decided to move forward and to the voters. However, out of respect for the legislative process we did insert an amendment to allow amendments either to weaken or to strengthen as long as there were a super majority as long as the supervisors would support these changes there were some very good feedback that we got along the wayto where we treat these structures are very similar to how we treat Affordable Housing. We currently allow for the ball housing to be built on site which is which is legislation encourages or built off site or finally, do an offsite inlet see this is how it is done in boston and new york city and perhaps one of the best ways for the city to protect pdr is to purchase a pdr and if we have the offset in lieu fees will explain this and we may move forward with amendments such as that. Colleagues, i do ask for your support. I know that supervisor campos is not happy with the process but if the supervisors can pull their weight with this process this is not the only ballot measure going in november that can be passed by this board. In fact my colleague supervisor wiener introduced Neighborhood Police control and we can pass this here control and we can pass this here at the board. I think this is a perfect example of legislation that this board could certainly pass and implement without having it embedded within our ordinance or our code by the voters. And in fact, neither of those measures that i alluded to today do allow for amendments to this board if there were changes that need to be made or that we need to be more in depth or if there are changes to the police or changes to homeless and those are written into stone and they cannot be changed unless we go back to what the voters. So if we need to argue about what legislation should go through the voters and the legislative process and we should do that with the entire portfolio of legislation going through the voters process. We knew we couldve gone through the legislative process they were not confident that we would had the support to pass the strongest measures Going Forward including grandfathering in 100 ft. 2 of pdr in the pipeline. Very similar to proposition c we have created a compromise by which those in the pipeline would provide less said pdr than those projects that have submitted their eda after june 14 but we thought that it would be too much of a loss o allow 900,000 ft. 2of pdr to move forward without any type of replacement or requirement to replace. Im certainly confident that we have not been able to process through the legislative process. With that, i appreciate the comments and the feedback. In particular i wanted knowledge. Supervisor cohen supervisor tang have been leaders in supervising and encouraging pdr in their districts and their amendments. I know we did not see eye to eye on every single issue but i know that their feedback was very, incredibly important ive appreciated and i do value the fact that this board does value pr here in San Francisco and i value all of the different perspectives and finally, i want to thank the Community Members working on this legislation with us over the last year and a half i also finally want to thank the land use director for doing a fine on most job over the last four months and that of something that we could feel strongly about and take into account a lot of the concerns that the stakeholders would have and also sheila hess, from supervisor composs office who is put a lot of work into this legislation as well so colleagues i appreciate your support and thank you. Thank you supervisor kim. Supervisor farrell. Thank you pres. Breed. , first of all one of the measures that is on the ballot in november that i authored actually has a provision where the super majority of the board of supervisors can amendment without going back to the voters to be perfectly blunt. But if i would to supervisor kim through the chair is it possible that its fundamentally different that six people putting something on the ballot on the board that could be enacted by the board of supervisors but still going to the voters that that somehow is a legislative process that is different and therefore better than having four supervisors on their own and submit something to the ballot because i can appreciate the comment that a group of supervisors believes that they wont get the strongest legislation for the board of supervisors and therefore goes to the ballot but i just want to understand the difference that you try to distinguish between the four and six votes. Is that a question supervisor farrell . Supervisor kim. Excuse me mme. Pres. That is for supervisor peskin who made the comment oh, supervisor peskin. Supervisor farrell,we have a pleasure of sharing columns in the marine at times in my column this month is about doing our job. And i think that our highest order of business is to resolve our issue of the day which is in these chambers which is where you introduce a piece of legislation. You go to the ballot first when you have to change the charter for when only the voters may change the charter. We go to the ballot to raise a tax whether it is a bond or a personal tax or a sales tax or a transfer tax under proposition 218 we go to the ballot and Everything Else friends is politics and if you bring a measure to this body and that measure fails, it is absolutely legitimate to go to the court of last resort which is the voters of the city and county of San Francisco respectfully, through the chair, relative to supervisor farrells question, that did not happen relative to the two measures that we are all tangentially referring to if supervisor farrell has any other questions i would be happy to answer them. Supervisor farrell any other comments . I would just like to know how this applies to this vote . Supervisor peskin. Supervisor farrell all this passing legislation through the board or passing at the ballot and failing at the ballot whether they are put together by a minority of this body or a majority of this ballot are all legitimate tools through the body of San Francisco i dont think i understand the question we talked about going to the ballot and i dont know what has been proposed to amend this particular legislation is that it could actually be changed at the board of supervisors so i guess, the point is, i just want to be clear that i understand but this is probably more for supervisor kim, but the point is that you want to make a statement in that you want there to not be the six threshold to be able to change Something Like this. You want to increase that so there are more protections through voters by putting it forth in this way. I guess i am just looking for clarity because i could see this legislation coming out of the board because i guess there is a concern that they could potentially be changed again is that the point that were getting at i know that you made these comments last week and i just completely understand where youre coming from. I believe that this piece of legislation would passed unanimously through the board of supervisors. By the way i respect that this disagreement is the disagreement around grandfathering. Now grandfathering has taken multiple forms here at the board of supervisors. Sometimes when we have new legislation, we decided as a matter of policy that is perspective and the project is moving forward and it would be engaged under those new rules and regulations. Then we have legislation like for example proposition c where we actually went back into the pipeline and said we dont have to do this whole new regulation and rules and we decided to do above and beyond what we required when you submitted your eea. In that case, we did have unanimous support for that ordinance i do not believe that we have eight votes. But, what were doing here with the Pipeline Projects that is eliminating production discretion and repair in the south market and if it were a small amount of footage, i think our stakeholders would be willing to let go of the pipeline but were talking about 900 ft. 2 of pdr that will be eliminated if this ballot measure does not pass in november. Like some of my colleagues respectively disagree that this legislation should have an impact in the projects and pipeline, i actually very much respect that because i respect the policy making behind it but i do think that the pipeline can protect and preserve more of the pdr here in the mission. We are only asking them to do a 40 replacement of pdr uses that are currently on site and if they agree to make it affordable which is only 50 of market rate they only have to do 25 we have been able to work this through and some of the project developers in the pipeline have agreed to do this replacement. I am not confident that that has more than six votes on this board through the legislative process. But, in response to the question, it was not i did set four versus six. We can continue to debate that point. This ordinance did have more of the legislative process in the sense that you are able to amend it after introduction but i did maybe to the chagrin of my stakeholders offer to pull this back from the ballot and have it go three legislative process understanding that it would probably get weekends in the legislative process as a cohort decides that we will not send any legislation to the ballot that would approve the legislative process. If this body decides that no ballot measure should move forward, that can be done through this board process. I will pull this measure as well. Unilaterally, without being consulted by the stakeholders this ordinance. I dont think that you can criticize this measure when other colleagues are doing the exact same thing. Thank you and just to be clear up my request for clarity without a criticism that point was not you pres. Breed. Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much. Just to be clear i am not at all critical of the decision of going to the ballot as opposed to doingthis to the board but this can be done through the ballot or through the board of supervisors i am simply expressing my view with something a very very complicated and impactful rezoning to the significance of the office of San Francisco that that should be done at the board. That is my point of view that there is one of the reasons in addition to merits for the voters. Supervisor kim has every right in the world for the office that she holds to make this decision. I would say in terms of the measure that i would like to place on the ballot in terms of the increasing neighborhood policing i will just be blunt. If i were confident that this would pass for the board of supervisors resembling the form that would have today i will put it through the board. I dont have that confidence. Again, there is not that criticism. There is a deep devout on this board for the safety issues and i didnt have confidence that this would not have been mangled up at this board and so, i went to the voters and i said and that was a choice that we made. And i stand by that is a choice. Thank you supervisor. Supervisor farrell. Supervisor kim did not make a legitimate choice and i think the legitimate choice to go to the voters. Ive no issue with that. Will have our opinions about that but that is to follow the rules and part of the availability we have the supervisors to do that. My question becomes around some of the comments that supervisor peskin made that this valid is not a legislation that should go to the voters unless it was a last resort andi dont think that we should say i dont like the ballot but at the same time when it suits a proposition that i like i will send it to the ballot. I dont think thats a proposition that i like and i think it is inconsistent. Supervisor peskin please rise. I am standing mme. Pres. With respect to supervisor farrell, let me give you a little bit of history, in the early part of the last century much of the board of supervisors were corrupt as a matter of fact many of them that were indicted in fact there were a majority of supervisors in that day at that were free from corruption. In 1932 it allowed the minority of this body to go to the members. That was an act to deal with corruption. That became the subject of subterfuge an ambush and surprise. This supervisor from the progressive wing of the board joined with sean elfman from the moderate wing of the board to acquire that one for members of the board went directly to the ballot, it would be subject to a hearing before a committee of this board we did that so there would be some amount of public input. Let me take exception respectively through the pres. To supervisor farrell. The measure server that you are introducing have also not been the subject of consideration before this body. It is your right. We all understand and acknowledge that but if youre going to be intellectually honest and consistent now i am not being pejorative of what you are doing and supervisor kim is doing and only what supervisor kim is doing is actually the subject of deliberation and public input through Committee Meetings and through the committee of as a whole and through deliberations of this body who is almost not afforded by this body and that will that now requires one public hearing when for members of the board you directly to the ballot. That is my comment. Thank you supervisor peskin. Supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor breed and obviously we did have a hearing for our ballot measure and it was for signatures and i think for the point of intellectual honesty to say that you only support something in going to the ballot as a last resort and then support something that was never introduced as legislation and then go to the voters to me is highly consistent. It speaks, literally, out of both sides of the mouth and it doesnt make any sense at all. Thank you colleagues for having this very interesting dialogue and at this time i see no other names on the ballot i didnt mean on the ballot [laughing] i do think it is important for us to make changes that can hopefully protect pdr all over the city. I know this is limited to a specific area and it is one step in the right direction so i will be supporting it today. And with that, mme. Clerk, on this item can you please call the roll . Mme. Pres. , the public hearing was held and filed . It was held and filed earlier. [roll call vote] there are seven eyes and four no cohen and farrellin the dissent. Mme. Pres. , i met with the gentleman that came up to speak and he will be removed from the lean hearing his property is 126 beir and his line item is number 384 and 385 and 386 and 387. The address is 120 shakespeare ave. And the item number is item 384 and 385 and 386 and 387. And you were able to talk to another gentleman as well . Correct, he has already been removed from the list. With that, is there a motion to amend and strike items 384, 35, 386 and 3d seven . Moved by supervisor mar seconded by supervisor avalos can we take this without objection . The motion without objection passes [gavel] and on the item as amended , item clerk can you please call the roll [roll call vote] there are 11 ayes. The resolution as amended is adopted unanimously. [gavel] thank you mme. Chair. Oh, i was like where is that coming from . Thank you mr. Davidson. Mme. Clerk, where did we leave off . Item 30mme. Pres. I dont know for ready for item 30. We are . Item 30 has already been read can we make a motion for a continuance supervisor cohen. We would like to make an amendment for a motion to continue this to the next supervisors meeting . Is it appropriate that this would be amended to the special supervisors meeting . Mme. Pres. , you publicly state that an special meeting will be held so we can decide on a day . Colleagues, can we take this without objection . Without objection this is passed unanimously. [gavel] item 31 [reading item 31] okay on item number 31 please call the roll [roll call vote] there are 11 ayes. Okay, that resolution is adopted unanimously [gavel] item 32. [reading item 32] supervisor avalos. Thank you. Collies, i havent really heard a compelling reason to expand 10 million over 10 million for the next 10 years the library. I have heard that the Library Considers this to be an efficiency but i would rather see a savings of 10. 4 million that an efficiency that works only for the library. Currently, the library is using downstairs of the bill graham auditorium for the storage of the auditorium that would be used for this lease i dont see any reason why we could not just continue with that. They are not looking to use this using this for any other purpose so why would we not they e have extended the use of the Library Services that the public could benefit from perhaps more books, extended hours perhaps more jobs for young people or more services for seniors or greater literacy efforts all of these with the Library Purposes and i want to urge you not to support this lease. I will be voting against it. Thank you supervisor tang. Thank you. I do appreciate supervisor avaloss comments and i deftly understand the concern with cost. I will say i will be supporting this as i did in Budget Committee because even in brooks hall there was actually report that came out a couple years ago that recommended that the library remove materials from books all because it was insufficient space of materials and the funds space of sfp l is actually renting private space over at 710right now and they are expecting a increase rent at the time and i would say the increased rent on van ness. Simply will not be possible as you to vote for this item please. Mme. Clerk, can you please call the roll. [roll call vote] there are eight ayes and three at no with peskin avalos and compas in the it is seconded by supervisor tang colleagues can we make a motion to resend the continuance on item number 30 without objectionwithout objection the motion to resend that votes passes unanimously supervisor cohen. So colleagues, we have a little bit of a challenge with the unexpected potential for scheduling a special Board Meeting and so it there are at least three voters that i know of that are not gonna be here for this and im asking them to take up the matter that we discussed today and hopefully we will be able to deal with it. Supervisor wiener has a few remarks. Pres. Thank you supervisor wiener. Rescinded this vote we should take this up today and whatever folks, whatever this view is about before us today,thisis one of most important issues in the bay area and to be clear, i strongly support a very robust Oversight Program and that is what is going to happen. We should move this forward today and make clear that we are full partners here and i am in agreement with supervisor compos and supervisor peskin that we need to be watching very closely in terms of this project. San francisco historically has not been engaged in caltrans as it should been and we envisioned it as a south bay thing even though it is critical for San Francisco i think that we should step out before partners on voting in favor of this measure. Okay thank you supervisor peskin. Thank you mme. Pres. Actually an item was called the amendment was made to delete any reference to the protocol it was not until members of this body asked questions that we begin to understand that the reason this was moved is that the city of San Francisco has fundamental concerns to the general fund. Which has been raised by supervisor campos. I dont want to delay this measure but i dont think its responsible for us to vote for it in less it is predicated on protecting the general fund. Im happy to vote for this today provided however that it is conditioned upon a protocol that protects the San Francisco general fund as part of this resolution if we are unable to do that, i will respectfully dissent and with those members of the board, pres. Breed, them will have to deal with that blank check were signing today i will deal with that in the years to come. Thank you supervisor peskin. The north will remember. Supervisor campos. Going back to what whites because that is because of what supervisor wiener you have a peerreviewed that was done here through caltrain a peeerreviewed that was done based on a number of issues and a number of things. It says here it was done through documentation review and field observation and interviews with caltrain staff and the caltrain staff who was responsible for this project was responsible for other source of this information and i think some very important issues that go to the effective management and implementation of this program and, here we are Going Forward i dont understand it. I honestly do not understand the point. Clearly, something is wrong here. Something doesnt passed this test we want this project moving forward but, there are serious questions that have been raised about the management of this program and given the fact that there could be an impact on the general fund i just dont understand why we are Going Forward and so, colleagues i would ask that those of us who have not planned on this to seriously consider rejecting this this is not how we should do business and i think this is a testament to the lack of transparency in this process that we are rushing this through and i understand the importance of this project but we are going to have to sort of rushed through without the peripherals being emplaced i just dont understand that. We should be better than that and i think that the taxpayers should expect us to do a better job than that one thats. Thank you mme. Pres. Was suggested that i offer an amendment and i will try to do so within the 30 seconds at this moment the further resolve on page 918 for the resolve i would ask for the board of supervisors to conditionally approved the seven parties supplement of the 2012 memorandum of understanding subject to approval of the board of supervisors and the parties to the agreement approving the funding of partners oversight protocol for caltrain cal mod program as may be amended. Supervisor peskin made a motion to amend second and by supervisor cohen colleagues, can we take that amendment without objection . Can you read that one more time i just want to hear it one more time. For the resolve that the board of supervisors conditionally approved the supplement of the 2012 memorandum of understanding subject to approval by the board of supervisors and the parties approving the Funding Partners oversight protocol for caltrains cal mod program as may be amended. Supervisor wiener this is just a question to the City Attorney in terms of whether a condition of approval is enough to perfect the federal funding. And philosophically, i dont have a problem with the conditional is in terms of not improving it then i and not going to approve it conditionally. That is what is before you rather than conditioning future actions of the department meant. He would what im saying is i dont think this is an action the board can take. To be clear the amendment that would be beiing proposed by supervisor peskin, youre suggesting thats an action that you cant take. Right, you can approve the resolution as initially proposed or approve it with the amendment that supervisor cohen proposed or continue the resolution to consider both items but you cant approve an agreement under the charter subject to future conditions got it. Supervisor peskin. So mme. Pres. Based on the advice of counsel i will respectfully suggest that we go back to the notion of continuing this to the special Board Meeting next week. Can you withdraw your previous motion . I hereby withdraw the previous motion to amend and make a motion to continue this item to the special meeting of next week. Okay so its supervisor peskin has made a motion to continue this item to the meeting of monday,august 8. Supervisor wiener. Many of us are not going to be here next week i understand its the president s prerogative but to do this in the middle of recess means you will not have a full complement of supervisors unlikethat resolution which is supported or not supported as a nonbinding resolution this is something that is critically supported and this that could potentially rise and fall with not having the full board of supervisors present that strikes me as problematic. The meeting that was set for last monday is not set based on who would be present and so, i really object to continuing this. Particularly a representative on the joint powers board has indicated that she will not be here and the author who resolution who represents us on the caltrain board whos been involved in this project will not be here. We should not be doing that thank you. And i would agree supervisor wiener i do think that we should be voting on this item today. Supervisor peskin. Mme. Supervisor i wanted to know if you know what supervisors will be present monday or if alternatively we could have a meeting on friday. It is too late to have a motion this week alternatively mme. Pres. Is there a day next week that a full complement were almost a full complement could attend im not trying to be problematic but im saying that the implications of this on the controller of the city and county are raising concerns about him plaques of the general fund and were trying to cram all this through that should make us all uncomfortable. Of use that uncomfortable line 2 weeks in a row. I think all members of the board today should either voted up or voted down and we can go from there. Supervisor cohen. Thank you very much i just want to clarify dont think that anybody is pushing things through. Granted, people may not be paying attention but thats another conversation. I also want to i also want to just get clarification. Did the controller actually object i dont believe there has been any written statement or any kind of concern actually officially coming from the controllers office. Perhaps mr. Todd could speak to that issue i dont want to misrepresent mr. Rosenfelds position on this item. Todd reidstrom, for the budget as i mentioned that we want to make sure that all the protocols for this is what is right for the city and we will commit to do that Going Forward. But, we know that these Large Capital projects by nature have uncertainties and risks and so just like our multibilliondollar Capital Program does as well. So we will work with the department. Thank you very much for clarification. Im done. Supervisor peskin thank you mme. Supervisor i just want to say was not until after this item was called where in the references of the Funding Partners oversight protocol were removed that my concerns became manifest and i have a motion that has been made and seconded in till monday and respectfully request mme. Pres. That you call the roll. I have a another person on the roster someone recognize supervisor campos at this time. I just want to let you know that on the motion to continue i am not going to be here on monday but i think it is better to have a continuance than actually have to face the possibility of voting against this so thats what i will be supporting the motion to continue. Supervisor wiener im sorry, but for us to continue an item to what the middle of legislative recess on multiple members is board indicated they will not be there including one that was going to support the motion apparently, this is not the way to legislate. To do business here. We should be concerned today and we should not be continuing this item to when we will be depleted of our supervisors thank you. Again, i agree. Mme. Clerk, call the roll.

I wanted to say that the effort of the Community Coalition that i have been working with supporting their fair share of Technology Tax that our goal is to ensure that that measure up here on a future ballot so that it is not dead. Though our measure will not be appearing on this novembers ballot it gives us some time to develop a proposal for the future in San Francisco as we heard in the Budget Committee yesterday, there is an urgent need that we address the impacts of the Technology Industry and especially Large Technology company so that they pay their fair share for the housing and ability crisis that were having in San Francisco that weve been seeing. Considering these issues that were raised through human stories at the Committee Meeting yesterday, i want to say there are three steps forward for myself and i really appreciate the support for supervisor peskin. Especially i will be working with him and others to convene a working group on technology and its impact on communities to include representatives with the Technology Corporations and the communities affected by displacement to begin a constructing dialogue with the housing crisis for ways other companies to play a constructive role to their coalition and i would like to say that the acl aft for Community Environment we are holding a environmental study and a deeper analysis and we do appreciate our city economist ted egan and others and what we need is a deeper analysis. We are proposing new legislation to keep our families and Small Businesses and artisan neighbors in homes and spaces in our communities and in our city. And, we continue to advocate for the fair share tech tax as a revenue stream where extremely wealthy revenue corporations can do much more into their fair share to fund these Affordable Housing efforts in the city. Also, there are a number of initiatives introducing several resolutions. One is a resolution of support proposition 55 i thank supervisor jane kim in supporting this millionaire tax fun education its a resolution to the mayor and governor to extend funding for healthcare and dishes it is an extension of the millionaires tax to Fund Public Education and this is a measure where the wealthy pay their fair share for educational justice in the educational system. I want to also say there is a resolution that i am introducing in support to proposition 56 in support of tobacco and the California State Legislature and the tobacco tax of 2016 can produce e cigarettes and many of us have worked with Health Equity coalitions and the department of Public Health and others because we think it is important to take a stand against big tobacco and move efforts like this forward that save lives since tabak oh is the leading preventable cause of death in the state. I want to give a shout out to many youth organizations that are working on this in the statewide level and urge your support and your resolution and support of proposition 56 and also revolution in support of prop 58 and this is a pro bilingual education measure. Some of you know that nearly 20 years ago the silicon valley,1 million and a had passed a measure in the state which wiped out a lot of our bilingual programs and this is supported by, the association of bilingual educators and many supporters and teachers and immigrant communities as well. We call this the learned initiativethe learned education and Readiness Initiative it is called the california multieducation map and this resolution would put california in support of bilingualism in our state and in return to focus on everyone being multilingual and bilingual in our state. Im also supporting californias proposition 67 which extends San Franciscos groundbreaking plastic bag restrictions to the state and it would in california each year about 13 billion singleuse plastic bags are handed out by real tailors and less than 5 of these bags are recycled and the vast majority and up in landfills and are littered i think this is an important measure for zero waste in our region but also at a statewide levels well. Also very quickly, two more items. This weekend the outside lands begins on sunday at about 10 pmand i want to say that my office has been as centrally involved and at this amazing music and a music festivalmusic fit is a three day festival in Golden Gate Park and as well it is a wealth of musical acts in many genres and i think that there was a band that was performed in 2008 and you can also look forward to flashes from the past and Lionel Richie doing some commodores tunes and Alanna Delray and jay cole and lots of hiphop artists as well and 80s flashback to rand durand and john stevens and beach house majel and many many more and i want to announce that there is a Community Hotline for different noise complaints andtrafffic and other issues but during the festival, the Community Hotline is 415965 9 that is 4159658001 or you can get to the website which is sf outside lands staff. Com i and my legislative aide nick pavlov does as we usually do will monitor calls and emails at the event and our office can be reached as well. If you call our may number 5547412 or email my aide Nicholas Packer locked those sf. Gov. Org. I also want to say the festival is an important one in the city but there are also concerns raised each year for residents and the hotline is one means of expressing any concerns to make the festival better for future years. I also wanted to add that the International Brotherhood of teamsters has been encouraging labor peace for large concert and other events in our parks throughout the city. I wanted to also say that im supportive of labor paceas a number of unions challenged bowers shuttles and shuttle campaigns that the nrb have multiple violations of federal labor laws i am urging along with different labor organizations in our recreation and parks staff continue that they really need parks events by the staff of the International Brotherhood of teamsters. Lastly, this thursday, august 4 is the 39th anniversary of the fall of the eiffel tower as you know this might have been a struggle have been a struggle of 10 years of 1977 this led to the minongs and tenants of that hotel and some were women as well and at the hotel Commemoration Committee this year they are dedicating the struggle to africanamerican and latino communities and black and brown communities in San Francisco and black lives matter and latino communities struggling for clarice perform so they can be united against Police Brutality in their statement. I wanted to say also that the milltown Heritage Foundation the coordinates are annual commemorations this thursday on august 4 from 6 pm to 8 pm at 68 jackson street they are on a tour in the passion and fire and spirit of our black and brian communities and joining together to build a movement for justice in San Francisco and for our entire country and for those of you who arent familiar in august 4, 1977 the San Francisco sheriff some Law Enforcement forcibly evicted and displaced many seniors and disabilities and there were thousands of supporters in solidarity around the whole block at the leslie isles hotel and it was the last remaining block of previously a 15 block frightening filipino and immigrant community whittled down to one block the forcible addiction and displacement was a sad day in San Francisco history were many businesses were also displaced i want to say long live the spirit of the eye hotel as we mentioned the minongs and some of our heroes and from 2005 and when Chinatown Community Development Center and chinatown cac develop a Senior Housing project that was their sharesnow withthe Heritage Museum and center please join us in commemoration as we celebrate the fall of the i hotel and we will like to see you there as well. Thank you supervisor mar. Supervisor peskin. Thank you colleagues i would like to be brief but i like supervisor mar have a number of introductions. First of all i would like to thank the coalition for labor organizations that have pushed for a process with gov. Jerry browns approvals Affordable Housing contributions are being developed in and around the. I have a list of names to publicly acknowledge but i will not. You know who you are. You are from all around the state of california and many of those organizations attended a lively public picket of this measure yesterday in los angeles. On to last fifth my staff joined a diverse San Francisco delegation to meet for an hour with the Governors Office and bet metcalf of the housing Community Development office as well as his staff by all accounts was a productive meeting and in our subsequent meetings with sen. Len know he has been diligently working to amend this measure and weve heard the same. Particularly the proposed amendments offered by the San Francisco delegation are an accurate and informative presentation of the planning and Affordable Housing toolkit that San Francisco has successfully led the state on. Unfortunately, we have heard nothing back from mr. Metcalfs office for the Governors Office and that meeting and in fact, the news that the mayor and his deputy chief of development spur and mr. Metcalfs office held a press friends for the bill and it was our first indication that perhaps they would not follow up on our meeting at all. Meanwhile, the housing and Community Development and held a meeting across the state and essentially had meetings with supporters and had press sections the first was in San Francisco on july 20 held by spur and the second wasnt San Francisco the majority of this board duly approved to include the mayors positions and it really flies in the face of the policy stances body has voted several times on. And i know it was only, only, his fourth veto it since assuming office and i have endeavored through a lengthy backandforth process to incorporate not only the best to them governors on may 14 but also my colleagues such a supervisor wiener. Through this pressure, the process of the board of supervisors has passed a well vetted policy which is frankly our job as policymakers. The mayor vetoed it and at the state level, this is the vested interest of having this past unfortunately those of us in San Francisco are holding the bag. Weve called a policy issue on the bill even though this is not a policy issue the public still has not had a genuine opportunity to speak against this proposed bill and the hard work of our San Francisco legislators, organizers and labor environmental representatives and housing at representatives with local public input and i am issuing a motion today to make sure this guidance and these well vetted proposed amendments are heard by the entire california state legislator and there will be legislator and there will be a special meeting held to sure that we will have this debate next monday. Furthermore i want to reiterate my comments from last week. Given that the mayor recently vetoed the policy position i just discussed, i have a measure on the ballot to ensure that this has another shot. Should the mayor determine that we should veto this legislation, i said last week if the mayor signed the legislation and brings the locale veto by 5 pm we would take this off the ballot and given that has not happened this matter will state on the ballot. I know weve all endeavored to keep our ballot short im sorry that the voters of San Francisco will have to vote again on a piece of legislation that the board has passed and through the chair to supervisor farrell, that my friends, is the legitimate use of the ballot. With regard to transp which evoked the concerns tha if you read the article yesterdaythe article that stated that the Millennium Tower is sinking. To be sinking 2 feet and has sunk to the right and i have two questions in particular the lack of pal driving on infill means similar buildings entrance be neighborhoods. I think the important we state for the record that in no way shape or form is the city on the hook for no potential outcomes and in so far as this body build out the tj pa for a quarter Million Dollars in paper i would like this body to make sure that we pledge that we will not bill the tj pa out for any liability with this matter and i like to think supervisor kim for cosponsoring my legislation and i am submitting a letter of inquiry for a hearing for the oversight protocols for the Fine Arts Museum board of directors and also thank you lydia and karen for staying so many extra hours and for many many years. I would like to adjourn this meeting my friend june asterburg she passed away it this weekend and she was the editor of the dakota newspaper and she was in the yearbook of the university of norththe coda and she was recently honored for her progressism. She became the progressive conscience in our neighborhoods. In 1952, long before i was born she was actually on her way to coveted job in life magazine at new york city and decided to visit San Francisco before starting a job in the city and she looked around and she never look back. He became a member of the bohemian monkey block and the enclave right down the street where supervisor mar talked about the i hotel,including the San Francisco newsletter. A friend found a c word to the newspaper. 12 years ago it was a paradise it was solidly two things. Bohemian and italian and it was so much fun. Things would not be so much fun without you you will be missed it will not be as much fun without you. I would like to adjourn in junes memory, and finally i like to say that we have had somewhat a progressive session. I think we have a high functioning legislative body that has turned out a significant amount of legislation and we can only do this work with their support of our Incredible Team and mrs. Cavand im speaking to you mme. City clerk and the department is the San Francisco board of supervisors. I have seen their office to help Committee Reports for legislation and scheduling her unprecedented number of special Board Meetings and i wanted to take this opportunity to say angela we see you and we see your staff and we see how much work you put into this session and your expertise and your guidance andyour guidance has been fair and impartial and indispensable and we thank you. And finally i would like to thank every individual on this indispensable team, no members anymore or less important. June Christine Wilson andrea john brandt lisa erica victor rome alvin john paid the high senate and arthur and richard think you very very much from all of the members of the board of supervisors. You guys are super appreciate it. Appreciate it. [applause] thank you supervisor peskin i do want to give a shout out to lisa samari. On behalf of that all the boards came through so smoothly. And with that i did not acknowledge rachel and kay and alicia. You guys are awesome. Thank you. Supervisor yee. Thank you mme. Clerk. I would like to close the meeting also in remembrance of two teenagers that passed 2007. [indecipherable] both took courses at the Community College and both received bachelors of arts degree in 2007 the outstanding early educators that serve San Francisco and the community that love their work and their teachers. I like to acknowledge lucas, skye and jean. It will be a special remembrance ceremony this friday in your honor. The rest i submit. Thank you. Supervisor yee and supervisor avalos. Thank you mme. Sec. I was very reluctant to support another set aside but to me, it was important that as we make funding more available for wrecking parts that we create some metrics for equity. Especially making sure that districts like district 10 and 11can get better care and Better Service from the recreation and Parks Department and i worked to get equity language in the measure and ultimately supported it. Now im hearing that the recreation and Park Department is ramming through inequity metrics through the recreation and Park Commission on august 18 without going through the community process, and without really working with neighborhoods to measure what equity would be like for them. The prozac parks open space Immigration Advisory Committee has set up an equity committee, a committee within that committee and the recreation and Park Department just ran right over them not considering any input that they would have for equity whatsoever. And so, i would like to put the brakes on the recreation and Parks Departments effort to create equity. I would think if youre going to create an equity metric and have the commission approve it nearly 2 1 2 months after the voters first approved the measure that equity metric is not going to be something that is going to be sound and to actually work well for the neighborhoods that really need that sort of equity in the city. And so, i have a motion that i want the committee to have a hearing in september to try to put the brakes on the recreation and Park Departments. Rushing through with their equity framework and colleagues i would love to have your support with this framework and when it comes to the equity frame i would hope that we have something thats actually meaningful for a lot of neighborhoods that do not have the cadillac versions of recreation and Parks Services and i do not have do have. I do not have a perk in my district that some neighborhoods on it looks like lois park or lafayette park. I have perks that look like the parks it look like the parks in my district and i have perks that are offered for places for people to come around era town square for the neighborhood to congregate but that is something that we need to address with that and that is a checkoff on our list at the recreation and parks feel will help get them funding for support and were wealthy neighborhoods in the city so i look forward to your support on that. I also want to make an announcement that we were filling out the ballot argument forms and as erroneously said that we need to initial under our names and we didnt and i erroneously said that and i apologize colleagues for that bit of misinformation. Also, supervisor more and i just came back from the progress convening that happened in pittsburgh. I mentioned it at the Transportation Authority meeting last tuesday but one of the outcomes that came out of that was that elected officials from all across the country were going to be signing on for letters and possibly doing resolutions in the future for islam a phobia and we cant underscore howarticle this is when we have, people who have came the con family and the kids run this alarcon the spoke at the Democratic National convention about their son who gave the ultimate sacrifice in the war in iraq and their muslim they live in pakistan and as you know what theyre under attack just for being muslim. And we have a candidate donald trump. Its not just the muslims that are being under attack by the Trump Campaign its also africanamericans and latino immigrants and people who havea contested policing in the country. So colleagues, i will be sending a letter that you can sign on to it will be an email you can click on it will give you some promptings to be able to go through and be able to add your name to it so that it gets sent out to other officials later in september and i are doing forward a resolution that we can do along with Community Organizations that represent muslims southwest asians north africans and 20 18 32the seik Communities Join together in support of these communities and i cant sayi will stop there. Supervisor kim. Colleagues i want to mention to you all that it is the 50th anniversaryof the renaming of the 100 block of Taylor Street to the jean compton cafeteria riots. This was the first known modern protest of the modern lgbt movement. Where women and drag queens and her transgender sisters have fought back againstabuse against discrimination in our businesses against Police Brutality to say that we deserve that we all deserve a safe space and gather and be ourselves. This month there will be a 50th anniversary celebration i want to acknowledge the lisa flames who is here in the audience who will be leading the commemoration here on behalf of the city. Is a tremendously significant and important part of San Franciscos history and i am really proud to support this moment of activism and hero wisdom and i encourage my Community Members for the rights for a for us to be here and our community and with that that it will be all. Seeing no other names on the roster that is the end of business. Mme. City clerk, please read item 58. Item 50 is Public Comment an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the board on items of interest to the public that are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board, including items being considered today which have not been considered by a Board Committee and excluding items which have been considered by a Board Committee. Members of the public may address the board for up to three minutes. Each member of the public will be allotted the same number of minutes to speak, except that public speakers using translation assistance will be allowed to testify for twice the amount of the public testimony time limit. If Simultaneous Translation Services are used, speakers will be governed by the public testimony time limit applied to speakers not requesting translation assistance. The president or the board may limit the total testimony to 30 minutes members of the public who want a document placed on the overhead for display should clearly state such and subsequently remove the document when they want the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. First speaker please. [indecipherable] [indecipherable] [timer dings] i have copies of like to give our supervisors and i would like to read one of them to all of you. Dear gov. Brown,[indecipherable] but i had a bad position to see it and i talk to you about it. The San Francisco newspaper wrote about it the day of that. Like to see it. You will see whats going on. I dont think we have time to vote for a crazy guy like donald trump. We have a lot of mental people in the city. With a lot of crazy people in the city we dont need one to determine our future. I have two choices. One that i use in the one in my hand. [timer dings] i would like to take my shoes and put them in his mouth. Because i want him to read my message. Loser trump, you are fired you are a stupid idiot and you dont know how to treat the blacks or the latinos or the muslims. It is time for us to wake up and kick his butt out thank you. [timer dings] thank you next speaker please. [indecipherable] im sorry theres no campaigning here at the board thank you. In making success of the two destiny of the people. The holy people are having a degrading downfall of all the superficial elements of the universal realities and misleading objectives and desired within the [indecipherable] as well, all sorts of goodies to benefit other people. When people can see our physical forms and cs is empty because of a single detachment than when cannot seek last the vacation so much then. One good seek the glory and these internal practices and true destiny in our society. On will develop complete details of true principles for this particular aspect of these uses in this phase. Of the lifestyle for success of the tragic passages of lives should never have happiness without bias thank you. Thank you next speaker please think you think the funds from these outside forces to support our beloved community for the lifestyle that weve all become accustomed to streets are upgraded and bus stop shelters are installed and we need such projects to bring many benefits for cities into our lives. These funds come from many sources. Multiple Government Agencies and multiple private foundations these transactions could come from standard clauses to protect the donor for civil and criminal liability for funding or illegal or unsaved activities. I expect they all mentioned something as full compliance tropical National State and local laws. If that is the case what is the the consequence of our city to the criminal consequences of their private use of public bus stops. You have been enabling this crime spree for years so you have been accepting this under false pretense for years and do we have to pay it back . Arent you embarrassed shouldnt you be embarrassed and shouldnt you arent you embarrassed shouldnt you be embarrassed and shouldnt you be in jail . Thank you next speaker please. Good afternoon board of supervisors i am a member of the mingling marching band and i have to remember many of us sat here for hours just to deliver the message of several supporters i listen to all of your amendments a day and with general concern for the city needs i believe with 50,000 supporting us to you as democratically elected leaders would be a shapeless case with great concern. As a musician, a dancer and a member of the marching band i appreciate the citys great asceticism. And to share the beauty of our music with everyone. When we play with your music transcends beyond entertainment the audience loves us to and they smile and the sparkles in their eyes all translate they are happy to have us there. When i see what art means to the audience im truly overwhelmed. We are vocalizing the story of people who havent had the chance to tell their own under the communist chinese regime. However the projection in the Cherry Blossom parade makes me wonder where are the political and artistic freedom and tolerance and diversity and acceptance the city is supposed to be so well known for. I urge you supervisors as a legislative body of the city to exercise your executive powers with San Franciscos community parades. I urge you supervisors is care takers of San Francisco to protect and feel in search of the needs of this city and lastly i invite your families to join us in these parades to see for yourselves who we are what we do and why there should be no reason to exclude us from any parade. Thank you. Thank you next week please. Hello my name is felina. I am a trailblazer a 29 year supervisor with aids, vietnam veteran and with support of great history in my community. I just turned 70 last month and when i saw that lady that was 110, that was my mothers birthday and what she wouldve been hundred and 10. 50 years ago i came to San Francisco when i was a teenager. I was a sissy a hotel where that nobody wanted but this year, the only people that i heard from was supervisor london breed no support for many of the other of the. Shame on you. This is our San Francisco history. We started the gay movement in San Francisco and nobody is going to deprive us of that history and that history and history books. What made me great was the gay pride weekend month at the white house finally my president of the United States had acknowledgedus. I reached out to the president and congresswoman pelosi and mayor ed lee and several supervisors and very few acknowledged me. It saddens me that our history is being forgotten [timer dings reprint happy birthday felicia. Next speaker please. [indecipherable]from page to page in the end up in the department of justice. Maam, please use the microphone. Until today they still have not enforced the code on them and they say they have a connection and in fact, they are friends. They claim they have a garage area that has an escalator. They approve this project and[indecipherable] we read the code and it said the variance shouldnt apply. The Planning Department waive the property notification for them [timer dings] the city lets them do whatever they want according to the plan. I just want you to know minorities life and properties matters and they need more help. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker please. I just want to thank the board of supervisors for drafting and hearing the resolution to engage in good faith resolutions and reach a fair contract with Radio Station employees. If the pa person here . In lieu of my two minutes i wanted to play a video. If you want play a video go ahead. [video] for the kare br 680 employees most are graduates of the San Francisco state broadcast program and dedicated to the craft of delivering broadcast to the giants, and thein november 2014 the on and off air employees decided to join exercise their collective bargaining rights. We thank all of you are Community Allies for your help and support in this campaign thank you. Thank you, next speaker please. [indecipherable] i think the Police Department should respect us and take these people that are trying to rape women and charge them higher in this process. These charges that they put on people that are just sitting thereare not an agreement there are movie stars that have been issued along this terrible issuein the towns that were forsaken and because of those movie stars be in in that whole [indecipherable][timer dings] illness is not a reason to stand on this issue than we had brought forth something that [indecipherable] this is all people saying i want, i want, i want. It should not be as[timer dings] thank you miss johnson and speaker please. Good afternoon supervisors i have worked in San Francisco for 42 years and as a manager of a Major Company i want to thank supervisor peskin first starting the discussion with background checks leveling the discussion between taxis and tlcs. Ive never once seen the results of a background check. That is because the background check which is Fingerprint Base is conducted by the regulator. Sf mta, not the cab Company Receives the results of the cab company. They give the company a simple yes or no. So in San Francisco we have the best of both worlds. Positive id of the applicant through fingerprints and no opportunity for the employee to discriminate against early convictions juvenile arrest or so on. Again, that is only because the agency sees the results of the background check and not the employer. That is what you ought to recommend to the cpuc. That they adopt for San Franciscos fair chance standards and the cpuc itself conduct the background checks just as ff mta does in San Francisco. This is an opportunity for you not only level the Playing Field between pncs and taxis but it is also an opportunity to promote San Francisco values by asking the cpuc to apply fair chance standards statewide. So i hope you vote yes on the item before you and 59. Thank you, next speaker please. Sfgtv. I am very glad that donald trump is going to go against hillary clinton. He will absolutely kill that woman during debate. Just take whats going on in red china. The have already killed over 1,000,000 1 2 of these peoplein china and you havent said anything about you should stand up for what is right. My bible tells me in revelation chapter 20 that before judgment day statement will be used for Little Caesar and i believe that god will make this come. In the me just read this to you. [reading bible verse] the lord spoke on to moses saying bring forth him that have cursed without the camp and let all that heard him lay their hands upon his head and let all the congregation stone him leviticus. Now people dont realize who jesus is. Jesus came into this world and he said dont think that i have come to destroy the five books of moses and the other prophets i came not to destroy them but to fulfill them because as i say to you as heaven and earth pass not one job or to the will pass from the law to all be fulfilled. During the seven file the bible talks about stones from heaven and its figurative language but its talking about jesus and people realize its not mohammed up there its not buddha its jesus christ. [timer dings] thank you, next speaker please. Tom gilberti, i spent the last five weeks talking about insurance buses for uber and a Company Spending 110 million a year losing 110 million every year when they can make a killing very soon after they dont need the drivers. While it might be cpucs responsibility, my name mean nothing but your names mean a lot. You represent the sidewalks and the trees in your districts. You need to represent the people in your districts the 5 million insurance gets easily cut by the lawyers in the hospital bills and if there are multiple victims that gets shared. We dont need independent contractors protecting the pockets. I hope that you can move on that 5 million goes quickly if youre a parent or a child especially in the city. Guns on police if wearing a gun equates with rising expectancy with using it and you combine that with racism that were seeing on the television that were seeing all the time now we can reduce some of the guns and we can start with the 10 year veterans that have never lifted their gun out of their holsters or fired a we need those mentors to help ourpistol or shot a bullet and we need those mentors i think thats a beginning argument and thank you kindly for invocation thank you next speaker please. Mme. Pres. I am in north american activists. Im struck by the month the last month or two how much the National Debates and arguments are mirroring our own little differences here between the sixth and the five and the five and the six and i am uncomfortable. It its not a good thing. I think we saw a Republican Party that was in disarray and unfortunately we saw a Democratic Party that was our also in disarray. I am not too certain if there is anything that is going to come good of it but i am somewhat disturbed by the idea of the numerous asian chuck sumerization i think that people have described we never recognize that we are a Minority Party in america and we worked in an organized way and a focused way and so on.
