calling names . Good morning, supervisors my name is a period of time coming down the pike with the Democrat Club a registered host in district 3 i want to make a point that supervisors supervisor breed and supervisor campos made at the beginning of todays hearing the importance of preserving Housing Stock i go agree that is a worthwhile and urgent call; however, last may San FranciscoControllers Office of connective analysis issued a report i quote the percentage of available rental stock has remained relatively steady over the 2006 to 2013 a rapid increase in the rent since 2010 and the availability of Online Platforms for shortterm rental have not reduced this percentage so i think that in blaming the home sharing for the housing crisis is, in fact, goes against the fact that even the city owns Controllers Office has shown, and, secondly, urge the supervisors to consider the 60 day cap is two extreme and let me remind you the voters of last year voted down the double district numbers and would have had a 75 day cap the 60 is more extreme than proposition f the voters have spoken and i urge them to respect the will of the voters but lastly the 60 day cap will not help to raise the cap by cutting down the hosting for the future host will be making rational decisions so i urge the supervisors to reconsider those open amendments thank you. Thank you, sir north if you can line up to my left and our right after calling names . Hi, im ed im a innovating resident and own a local restaurant ive been told by several Restaurant Owners theyre having the best years since home sharing i lived in San Francisco for 60 years i like to think of being here for two generations i personally mooefrns have lived in our house for 35 years and married and raised tour child and celebrated many people in San Francisco consider your house a best investment my wife and i look at our home as a place to store a lifetime of memories and like to stay in our home in San Francisco because of the income from home sharing when we were younger had the opportunity to travel due to Health Concerns were not able through sharing weve been to host thus bringing the world to our home we now have the opportunity to double im here to ask for us to have the opportunity to stay many my home and allow me the Third Generation to stay in my home and bring people from around the world to us you can help us by rejecting the kaurnt regulation. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Lauren 24078s o thomas cochair of the Democrat Club i think i speak for most of people that have indeed followed the law we appreciate youre taking that take into consideration and were concerned if our timing was off and didnt need this until the year after it is not enough to help a lot of the home sharingers and owners in San Francisco i think what airbnb is young their naive and arrogant that irritates imagine, however, they have appeared and weve been pushing on in hard as an organization theyve brought to the table things that will address all the illegal unit and preserve the housing for affordable ways so i think while they ma have been arrogant and obnoxious and it takes time the city supervisors should act the same way but talk with them and work through the solutions i think there are a lot of good things on the table and, yes now is the time to make progress and create a winning solution for everybody i ask you to consider that. If you ive called our name, please line up ill call a few more names calling names . Next speaker, please. Hi, im deanna good afternoon ive had very great experiences sharing my home it is a safe place i have been able to have my families from the philippines visit when they come over and at the same time on supplemental inspect ive been volunteering with the use of force it is very important for me, i was unable to do volunteering free of charge so it is special to see if im able to do this having my supplemental income be able to do this were limited to 60 days a year i think that will be very hard for us to be able to do this in San Francisco thanks. Good morning, supervisors supervisor peskin, supervisor breed and supervisor campos im henry the president of the district Emergency Association representing 20 successors and the Golden Gate Association one thing about the airbnb folks is that when they come out to visit San Francisco they stay in areas we dont have much city so the traffic in the areas in the excelsior and Visitacion Valley and the outer sunset and parts of richmond and so forth they dont get the traffic from airbnb it is a good thing for the Small Businesses a benefit for Small Businesses we support airbnb and getting visitors to come out to the area for which those workers will benefit again, we support them in doing this program and what they do for the community and Small Businesses thank you. Next speaker, please. Good morning. My name is skate stone im a lifetime San Francisco resident and a homeowner a retired San FranciscoSchool Teacher and registered home sharing eerie want to thank you for having me and giving me the chance for the creation of Affordable Housing in San Francisco and to implore not to impose the 60 day limit on the shortterm rentalers i have to can he have i had another speech on the grandfathering of previously registered host i have to say that i share everyones i think collective frustration at the time it is taken for airbnb to come to the there is a motion on the table and ready to look at the Real Solutions like you have been trying to do for the last couple of years i fear and i support regulations he registered when i was supposed to and fold the rules i think that regulation is a is an approach to a very, very complex situation i fear along with on the 60 day cap will prove for more sdpurj than encouraging if you look at the figures im not very good at this but the length of time to have shortterm rentals in our house to actually be able to afford to keep our home at the 60 day cap will be 2, 3, 4 effect will take that prevent that house to be on the market and other people shared it would serve to discourage people from taking part in were trying to bring instant to this complex conversation thank you so much for looking at this i know this body has incredible talent and like to see more housing in San Francisco. Thank you for your comments mr. Stone. Next speaker, please. Hi my name is gene stone and homeowner and registered home sharinger in Bernal Heights and thank you for grandfathering and for the registered home shares ill e id like to remind the board of supervisors people are taking people into their homes not new since jesus and in the last few years a vehicle to match guests with hosts we offer a Home Experience a winwin situation for us and our guests to stay with a knowledgeable san franciscan family and offer services to our wonderful city were proud to be contributing hotel taxed to the city and provided a valuable service by steering our guests for Public Transportation and stay in San Francisco for longer ways we provide football accommodates we provide the service that allows people on limited incomes to visit their families and a place to stay for Young College folks to stay in our wonderful city those lets not take away incomes and thousand of struggling san franciscans by putting a cap on how often they can rent their home dont forget that which of that income goes directly into San Franciscos cash flow that if you cap the number of days the 60 cases theyll not be able to stay in their homes and be taking away in their Affordable Housing and that of thousands of other middleincome citizens many are disabled and unemployed home sharingers are pawns in the members please stop playing with our lives and income and do the work needed to provide Affordable Housing for the city taking away our income is not the answer. My name is carl i live on scott street in district breeds district 18 years a film maker and registered home sharier ive shared my home as a way to be present for my children meetings with doctors and lawyers and others and having an ability to have short term and long term rent in my home allows me to be a great dad to any children who are grown and struggling to live in San Francisco as a film maker ive 2k3wr5ik9 in yeah me many friends said y7b9 stay home there will be fewer homes to share you can make money to my neighbors that are sentencing for my fellow artists as a waiter i needed the income to pursue my art this city needs artists and by capping people at 60 days youll say to all the people that want to pursue their art instead of working at a corporate job effectively ask them to leave the city it is an expensive place the legislation we can all agree that unhost homes and people not following the regulations should be removed, however, ill say that a 60 day cap that is it effectively does right to the Corporation Hotel and it hitsz he homeowners, renter and people looking for Affordable Housing against each other that is not San FranciscoSan Francisco is a place that of inclusion and rather pitting people against people i want to find solution for everyone. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon were almost are afternoon im lawrence a homeowner and home sharer in district 7 my husband and i comply with the regulations renting our Spare Bedroom with with dedicated Democrat Club that youve seen and heard already this morning advocate compliances with the register we work with kevin guy and the board of supervisors to facilitate were currently recorded last week well over 2000 registered and or in the registration pipeline a huge improvement over what it was the majority of us complying with the law rely on this financial solvent in an expensive city reducing the f t r caps for 60 days for hosted and unhosted appears to be completely arbitrary and without any Economic Impact for sf homeowners take into consideration those proposed caps on top of an 8 hundred increase in the cost of renewing a business license all home sharingers are required to do and the board of supervisors is to carefully consider the reduction of those caps and study the sharp reduction before swiveling pushing through this amendment the home sharingers Democrat Club offers this to keep the rules fair for the thousand of residents that rely thank you for your time and we learned Agency Children we need to think about we react in this contention situation. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi, im bruce from the sunny side district youve heard from any husband we got would this we were guests first and liked it we decided to hsr in the city because life hits you up the side of the head owe lost any job and the impact doesnt effect us as much as it could have it kept us in our home and as home sharingeers in our i dont have the regular 401k we bridged the gap for the future down the line with no 40 w i could lose my job i dont know where my future is how can i make ends meet we need to solve the registration 60 days is two extreme and wont cover one months mortgage over and over the property tax we pay it keeps us in our home this proposal equates e creates two classes of people how will you enforce this does make sense the home sharers Democrat Club met with the supervisors weve left hand to the public and the supervisors and we all agree the process is broken lets fix it by listening po to one another my ask to meet in the middle and streamline the process for more people to be registered listen to the home sharers Democrat Club not a lip service weve met with you and some of you have not listened to the home sharers Democrat Club hello, im linda and im a resident of district 11 from i also am a registered hoot my husband and i registered and although were grandfathered in there are many things were concerned about the other thing is we want the supervisors to see who the people are and do home sharinging. Theyre very compelling reasons people are trying to stay here in San Francisco and do other things in the case we have four children and 13 grandchildren weve promised them a chance to go to College Without need not in Student Loans and sincere home sharing is a way we are able to have an income stream that can help our families and the flexibility that we need to be able to have this kind of income we couldnt do this fulltime this is a family home and rentcontrolled unit out to a fulltime rental what im very very concerned about the current legislation the fact it is a two tiered system what the previous speaker said is is true well have a problem identifying people and the way it will pit people against each year, two tiered systems you need to fight against and you need contract they know that the person gets the benefits and the one that comes in late doesnt get the benefits that is not a cohesive way to bring people together this is very united and has gone to lengths to try 0 rectify the problems in the current legislation and advocating for compliance so those of us who want to help to make the system better dont put us in a situation we have to say tough luck to the next guy thank you. If ive called our name ill call a few more speakers calling names . Supervisors my name is dale appearing for shared sf an hoa. We were here 10 dont see ago on an oversight from the shortterm rentals kevin guy told us 16 hundred plus registers airbnb has more than 7 seven hundred active hosts in San Francisco so the system is not working i want to focus on the particulars of this protective that is before us not disputing home sharing no one is trying to make that communitybased away were trying to solve problems in the original orders we were told in 2014 no way to distinguish a hosted from an unhosted rental no way for the city to determine when a host is sleeping in their own bedroom this is a 60 day cap across the board is more than airbnb claims the typical hosts rents a year and finally mr. Guy recorded to you his office levied one and 80,000 in fines and 200 of which are levied and tied up in court and clothed 50 thousand thousand and thousands and thousands of violations out there and no way his office or the good offices of City Attorney will fully enforce this law thats why putting this is has worked to protect singleroom occupancy hotels we have to give the offices an opportunity to help. You indicated data the average home sharing number of nights is less than 60 days a you share more of that information. That is from airbnb published reports typical hosts 97 nights a year. Are you familiar with the American Hotel and lodging association repaired by the labs have you seen that information. I have seen it. That information seems to i mean indicate and i dont know the bona fide use of the labs but seems to indicate that the average is indeed less than 60 days. Okay. Thank you. Thank you, sir. Next speaker please. Good afternoon john supervisors if you thank you for the amendments youve proposed to your legislation im a registered host within the first one and 50 hosts and appreciate the ability to be grandfather but agree with a lot of the comments about two tiers and second class citizenry current litigation that is pending before the why is one of home sharing largest platforms in San Francisco pause to say we need to do Something Different and demonstrate we can urban design good actors ill encourage the board to table the legislation that supervisor breed has proposed and really being openminded to engage our home sharing platforms in dialogue that can be constructive i think that all parties are willing to Work Together to come to some Common Ground and a solution to put this to bed for once and for all. Thank you, sir. Good morning, supervisors thank you, very much for this meeting and im jan, i. A registered host one of the early registerries and im in San Francisco to be in San Francisco the only place i want to live because of my home sharing business works my brother has done it i really, really encourage you to look at what the home sharer Democrat Club put together many hours radio gone into the commitment to look how we can indeed work to make the system work for all of us thank you. Thank you next speaker, please. Im keith a professor at city college and one of the first few people registered agency as home sharer i think one of the advantages of being a professor i get to see the future and the students i have are going to be the leaders in San Francisco and hopefully in the world to come what people seem to forget that students for example, are forced into 12month lees and only in their house for 9 months the currently 90 days works for students theyre able to now afford to communitybased home and visit their families and not pay rent on an empty house and while theyre gone theyre not competing for the local economy and not going to bars and restaurant a 60 day cap might help some of the students but in addition, were looking at people that are looking to where their futures will be many of them love to stay in San Francisco but the affordability of San Francisco ask impossible for anyone in the city it is hard enough to stay here considering having to have a life here is a adapting task we might be losing a lot of the future leaders if we dont give them at option for staying here weve heard from artists and lost a lot of artists but trying not to lose for another flip side of parents having kids going to correctly if you have a kid going to their farther college and not the parents not be able to rent their bedrooms they cant bring new ideas back to San Francisco so thank you move forward with this hard cap seriously think of this 60 may work for some people but not all san franciscans. Next speaker, please. If ive not called our name calling names . Hi my name is rose i live in district 7 supervisor yee is my supervisor and thank you for grandfathering us if; however, i believe that just like myself some people will be in financial situations whether medical or whether that is taxed or whatever financial situation in theyre in airbnb has allowed me to sustain myself in difficult times and i dont think that separating myself that may need the same help because their timing is off not fair to them i believe in regulation and building that people should follow the law having said that, i think also be a coming of the mind and a little bit more fairness within a two party 90 days even 60 days is a definitely not sufficient but 90 days still not sufficient in my opinion i love the city ive lived here 80 plus years and this may not be getting through to you but hope you guys can understand what im saying and not divide us the people that i see here that are convince this mainly hotel people i hope this comment is not misplaced thank you for your time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please.

Next speaker, please. Hello my name is brendon and nature of the San Francisco i discovered i might be grandfathered in this 60 day cap is a barrier to future hopes please have an amendment to people to be able to you know at least achieve the grandfather status and the biggest problem is heretofore why not use the Million Dollars in tax revenue were getting from home sharing and use it to lower the costs on Building Permits for home additions you you know nvmentsz or backyard unit this is the main problem the board of supervisors to help increase growth the future of growth so, yeah i wanted to say the 60 day task is a barrier we need to think about people in the future that want to be part of the community thank you.

Good afternoon. Im filling a registered home sharing high Blood Pressure ray for me ill be grandfathered in and it is ivenlg i irrelevant whether or not im grandfathered the 60 day cap is horrible horrible it matters not if youre grandfathered what happens to the person that is sick and needs the income and limited to 60 days a week what happens to that person on the fixed is income do not whether or not were grandfathered if so still a bad idea it is somehow to make housing for available not do that that will somehow encourage people to be in compliance with the law not going to do that lets come up with Common Sense Solutions that actually exist those people not being in compliance and registered im sorry to see that supervisor campos has left because i i work or wish to address his comments which was saying that oh, well we dont want to be corporate democrats the people were not corporations we are working and middleclass families. clapping. its the hotels the Hotel Industry that is driving those laws those restrictions theyre the corporations and so lets you know lets not be so callous towards the workingclass and middleincome of San Francisco that needs the income dont take their income away let us stay here i have two children one in college i rent out they are bedroom so she didnt have to graduate with a lot of debt what if something happens to me they have to live and have a home ill inherent will they have to sell that home it would be nice thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. That will be a hard act to follow okay. So i wrote something im grateful and youve honored our comments those of us that choose to register im going to share my story there is a lot of friends i have with children that are in the same boat so 17 years ago my husband and i bought a husband in Bernal Heights it was full of holes in the wall and it was all we could afford we didnt have much money and 4 childrens in upstairs room over the years weve fixed up the house and the children grew up all 4 went to Public Schools and go attend Mission High School we have a small Family Business but no money for college and this didnt account for the cost of living in San Francisco and make too much money for Financial Aid we pay 50 thousand per year this was we tried airbnb for extra money it is a blessing our private room we cant rent out to long term tenants our children come home reserving some of my friends rent out their rooms and i prefer airbnb they handle the money and handle the we are good homeowners pay our property taxes and limiting us to 60 rentals per year will not cut it the airbnb pay the housing for my kids at college only for the hours we have become dependent on it by limiting the hosting in private rooms you make that harder for people to stay in the city you are for these us to use craigslist thank you thank you. Next speaker, please. Ill call a few more cards. Ladies and gentlemen, ive lived in San Francisco for 15 years first it is my duty to congratulate you for youre great elections second im opposed to the proposal to limit the shortterm rentals to 60 days i speak as a San Francisco resident who has faced many interests as tenants and now seeking to make and meet this shortterm rentals home sharing unfortunately, the Tenants Union was not helpful and miss treat by my landlord im surprised that the timing of this proposal the voters are rejected a proposal to limit shortterm rentals to 75 days and recall this is San Francisco the bell informed elected are many limitation is wrong it is the taking of property without any net or provision outlet effects small Property Owners third if youre concern is compliance the registration of host we should streamline the registration process and make that harder not make that harder and current registers should be grandfathered within the rule date if our serious about the proposal thank you. Please take the real San Francisco voters seriously thank you. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Good morning. Thank you for listening to all of us im a registered home sharing in bernal and appreciate the grandfathering im speaking for the future of welcome like me london gone i dont know if you remind me and im an artist been in the home for 16 our house is very tiny two tiny for a roommate as it is i share the home with my exhusband couldnt afford to houses and it is our life hood just please dont cap it its a life brewery for many of us. My name is michael a resident the castro and rentcontrolled unit selfinterest host id like to remind you the voters debated those measures by 55 percent majority last year i dont believe this amended legislation will do anything to increase the number of host to rental with a harsh proposal may lead to the opposite effect i believe that a smoother registration process with other policy measures such a 14 days limited license will boost the number of hosts the action in this amendment makes nothing to increase the i urge you to get more hosts to sign up with the city the amendment officers no register and like to remind you that the voice of people have already rejected important policy choices and such proposed measures as these were already sick of our votes stolen by washing we dont need our votes stolen in San Francisco by the board of supervisors. clapping. certainly can be done better.

Good afternoon Board Members unlike the gentleman before he many say the first time i come to speak as a landlord or homeowner whatever you call that i have lived in San Francisco since the 70s and a nonprofit working person serving the community for over 40 years i have fought for tenants right workers right all kinds of rights and marked for the hotels i dont think if ive marched for the destruction of japantown and this fillmore district i worked tirelessly for the voices my work took me away from San Francisco for 10 years and moved back a few months ago low and behold i dont know. I was told not legally allowed to move into my house i had to hire an attorney i did that i exhausted whatever little savings im im considering maybe doing what is share hosting im like oh, my god and when i start the research the loophole not make sense i was wondering since ive been back earlier 24 hour how do people do it all landlords only the millions make a billion dollars corporation only landlords no, no more workingclass like me no low and behold im meeting the rest of you, please consider those who need it not all landlords that own a little house can afford to live it by myself if i could and work as a consultant part time i would i need the income a lot of the people that need that income because they own a house and not to do that legally and rightfully please consider that thank you. Thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon since february 2030 ive been a registered host as a extinct contractor without a steady income or benefits nearing my retirement age and a financially assisting any participants the income that airbnb provides is essential this esteeming seemingly hosted and unhosted will seriously impact the income of many hosts in similar situations i rent out a spare room in highway home and on occasion i offer the entire unit this why were one and 64 nights as in my situation a single host may have two or more listing because of this the calculation of the actual number of listings in theyre your facts and figures continue to make the data inaccurate we the host that play by the rules you keep on changing are the ones that feel this the most in shortterm rentals are restricted by constraint the real losers our guests the neighborhood Small Businesses that have benefited from the trafrltz travelers will be negatively effects this a political motivated effort that will harm most of us your constituents trying to just get by in this expensive city we love we are constantly face with a new thing damaged above our heads he seller ask you decline to move forward with this proposal entirely and also the grandfathering in should be eliminated it creates a two tier system thank you for your time and consideration. Thank you. Next speaker. Im gina lived in San Francisco for 25 years im a registered shortterm rental host and im here to express that im very opposed to the 16 day cap not for my same im a senior im above o about to retire and have kids that are in my position same you know theyll want to become hosts when they retire so not fair for us to have a system when im able to host a room a couple of days and my friends that live in the city needs as much help as i do theyre not going to be able to have the same privileges and rights how fair is that and how is 60 days going to make revenge more effective that didnt make sense i look in a i deal with regulations i deal wi i deal with automation and a way for us to require a host to enter their permit but has to be in a database to match that Registration Number to the address off of that permit holder so lets Work Together you know, i use airbnb and not in step with everything that airbnb do i oppose a lot of airbnb stuff but there is a way to make that work without resorting to the action and relative to the comments last summer, the board of supervisors unanimously passed its legislation that would require airbnb to do just that and, of course, airbnb sued us and recently a ruling by the federal court that appears to indicate that law seems to be valid and constitutional and soon enforced and this board values to hold the im a 40 year resident in district 5 i continually am amazed how many people will stand up and support a business valued at the 30 billion and defend its action it is amazing i think that it is very reasonable to have a 60 day hard cap to protect San Francisco housing anybody that wants to do this fulltime can get a of time bedandbreakfast license. Hey hold on one second this is a respectful hearing and continue to have 24 respectful hearing you can signal with our hands but let the speaker speak. A fulltime bedandbreakfast is an option for people weve not had a run an application the private right of application is an excellent choice takes the litigation off the citys shorthand and lets nonhousing people to file suit. Using your home to make income ive seen board of supervisors in San Francisco come into business and go out of business and tourists coming to San Francisco go away after the 89 earthquake youre putting yourselves at risk if you defend income from our home by visitors this can rise and fall id like to just recap by saying having the 60 day cap will protect our neighborhoods well have our neighbors who will be there will be going to meetings contributing to the neighborhood and going to the school board and parking in their cars and not 18 visitors cars. After the next speaker calling names . There was talk about id like to ask where are the attendants that have been facing displacement not audience i brought one of them with me we have a counseling clinic for lack of funds we share our knowledge and so this guy this office of shortterm rental will see this as illegal and people seem to forget in the audience before this very generous board passed its the regulations with one hundred result and back then 3 years the City Attorney gave them a database three hundred known illegal shortterm rentals that were not peoples residents and the City Attorney took one year in a half to settle a case so thank you my name is greg i would say in my home for 23 years i spent a lot of time and my savings to make that place liveable i tried to live there and had a partner for a long, long time 3 contributed to the house he is no longer there im also living with hiv my medical insurance is a astronomical im an architect i employ 3 people fulltime and have consultants i employ i bring money to this city left and right im you know, i in the same plan to tell you all the great experiences and meeting wonderful people and to tell you all the money i brought to Bernal Heights district as people that i personally take to dinner and show the things in my neighborhood but actually after sitting here im angry the first time hes my supervisor where is supervisor campos this is something that effects me, im a frond like the other gentleman eloquently stated ill not do as well, im jerked around i literally if this 60 day thing goes through im packing it up and going back to my state and deal with that youre doing a disservice pitting us in a vice were not the bad actors were the good players i went through the registration and number 75 i did that by the book and helped other im an architect with the Planning System that goes to just to add a businessman and ive done a lot of large projects thrumming you, you have to have a lot of money to build something here most of us we only 7, 8, 9 that were not a Big Corporation airbnb as a tag on their heads were not the guys that are doing hello supervisors taxes for your time and congratulations on our election im tom murphy i grew up in the soma and organ jerry garcia day for the last 15 years had a Great Partnership with airbnb recently the main reason as you may know the area you know jerry garcia in the area didnt have any Hotels People stayed and supported the local businesses and the merchants and also built a lot of Community Awareness and airbnb is supported a lot of the communities as well so a Great Partnership but the main reason i think when i heard about this the first one. Thank you next speaker, please. Good afternoon. My name is ann pr a single mother and artist. Affordable unit take that mike down.

Im tony rob legales ive su evening what happened to seniors and shortterm rentals are helped with the evictions of seniors its helped it is reasonable regulation he use that word reasonable it is very much in the order of airbnb with the lawsuit and other actions as i see that has been an attempt to circumvent legislation by the extreme sharing and hardship and words like ambassador ive seen people actually on the verge of tears ive lived here 52 years and it is so important to give the climate in the city thank you very much.

I would like to invite mrs. Dylan to speak. Thank you for your email. The floor is yours. Hello. Thank you for having me today. My name is Natalie Dylan. Im the native of San Francisco. Born and raised in the mission where mission play ground became my second home. It was there where i formed character, i formed friends and i formed a community. And i was introduced to my first tennis classes and it was through tennis that i got my scholarship of standard. I was able to play for 4 years and study urban studies. My honor species was on the relationship between graffiti and crime in San Francisco. So it was addressing the broken window theory which was has been spoken about in qualitative measures in new york and chicago, but much of the research has hasnt been conducted here in San Francisco. So back to kind of pro sack. I think parks and open spaces have always been a had a special place in my heart, particularly because of my child and how kind of intra gal mission play ground was for my development. And secondly, as someone who has studied urban studies in urban development cities, i think open spaces is a powerful mean if build community at great and enormous scale. Thats one of the benefits in San Francisco is for us to be concentrated in one place, and to really build community, so i hope you accept my candancy any members who would like to testify on item number 2. Seeing none. Close item 2. Thank you ms. Tang. I think youre going to be a wonderful asset to this committee. I would like to move forward Natalie Dylan to this seat. Without objection, well forward item number 2 without recommendation to the full board which would be considered on the 29th. Mr. Clerk, could you read item number one, please. Speaker item number one is tanghearing on the citys electric vehicle fleet, to determine what would be required for the city to commit to procuring 100 of its lightduty fleet as electric vehicles by 2020, and how to accelerate the adoption of electric vehicles for our medium and heavyduty fleets; and requesting the city administrator, the General Services agency, the department of the environment, the mayors office, and the San FranciscoPublic Utilities commission to report. Supervisor tang has brought this hearing to us. Supervisor tang. Thank you so much. And a colleague, as you probably know i rarely bring forth hearings to the board of supervisors, but i do so when i feel an issue is morning and one that our city should take a leadership role on. Today we have a hearing before us where well hear from sf environment and City Administrators Office and representatives from puc and our Public Works Department to talk about how it is that we can collectively achieve our goals in reducing Greenhouse Gas admissions and to moving our own internal city freak towards a greener fleet. And this interest really sums from my personal interest in pursuing the ability to drive an electric vehicle myself, but live nothing a multi unit building, its difficult. After working on this initiative with our city, i really do hope that we can expand how it is that San Francisco as a whole and our private market can adopt other markets to encourage the use of electric vehicles or other improved technologies so we can collectively achieve our client goals. With that, ill have more to say and ask later during the presentation. Let get started. Im going to call up jesse for our sf environment. Good morning. Good morning. Is this presentation loaded . Thanks. Terrific. All right. Today, myself and the City Administrators Office are going to give you an overview of local, state, and federal policies that apply to electric vehicles across the country. Al turn tifsh vehicles and charges general 101, what are we talking about when discussing electric vehicles, general adMission Vehicles progress we have made through this last year around electric vehicles, both within our Fleet Operations and city wide. City Administrator Office is going to give you an overview of the current city fleet. Fleet initiative and then discuss next steps around the question that supervise tang has asked regarding our municipal procurement. This represents 40 of the citys Greenhouse Gas admissions. Today there are over 400,000 vehicles registered in San Francisco, and more than 100,000 inbound vehicles via commuters. Transportation is a key strategy that will help San Francisco meet its Greenhouse Gas reduction goals, and stick with our city wide Renewable Energy goals which of course in 2008 was established via the board of supervisors to have 100 Renewable EnergyElectricity Supply by 2030. Just a reminder our other municipalities are theyre delivering 100 Greenhouse Gas free electricity to the vehicles we have. Any expansion of electric vehicles we have in the fleet is 100 reduction in Greenhouse Gas admissions from that component of our foot print, and in 2015 mayor lee signed a west coast mayors Fleet Initiative that established a 10 procurement goal annually for electric vehicles in our municipal fleet. Locally the legislation that implements this is 10 this applies to fleet vehicles that are 800 bounds and less so these are light duty sedan and trucks. This is is safety vehicles like police, pursuit and fire. As well as some exemptions to enter prize. They have that includes fleet management, Vehicle Selection, with some support from sf environment. And really what the City Administrators Office is achieving through hacto is mandatory fleet reduction fleet requirements so theyre exercising the fleet and how to use fleet vehicles appropriately and how to size the vehicles so they meet the needs of the different departments. And also to select vehicles via a Vehicle Selection list that are the highesty the highest efficiency. Its aligned with the greenhouse goals around fleet operation, which is a 4 reduction in Greenhouse Gas admissions by the end of fiscal year 2017 and a reduction by end of fiscal year 2021. Sf environment within hacto has alternative field Vehicle Infrastructure and ill talk about what were doing on that in a few minutes. But this includes looking at how we expand electric vehicle charging infrastructure throughout city to we apply for grants from the state federal government, and foundations which ill discuss as well. A quick review of california policy that applies to electric vehicles. In 2012, Governor Brown established an executive order that mandated 1. 5 million zero Mission Vehicles that are on the roads by 2025. When we talk about zero Mission Vehicles from the states perspective, this includes plug in hybrid electric vehicles, battery electric vehicles and fossil vehicles. S it established a 50 renewable portfolio goal to ensuring inveters and utility was delivering 50 of their electricity portfolios throughout the state which is sinner jess tick of the state with the 1. 5 million zero Mission Vehicles and we need another outlet for that Renewable Energy generation. Besides the built environment and that is they lek tri cajun of transportation. Just this month, state of california also issued the zero admission plan which established a new procurement goal for state vehicles so theyll be working to ensure that 50 of the states annual light duty procurement is zero Mission Vehicles by 2025. And then the federal government, they have their procurement goals which were established last year which requires 20 of the federal fleet to acquire electric vehicles by 2020, and their procurement goal of 50 electric vehicles by 2025. When we talk about zero Mission Vehicles just quickly, battery electric vehicles only runon a charge that is electric. This is a fully plug in vehicle that has a battery on board to store that energy. Plug in hybrid electric vehicles use an electric motor for short range trips, and then after that charge has run out, there is a hybrid gasoline engine that kicks in for the extended range. And Hydrogen Electric vehicles are electric vehicles that use hydrogen as the fuel to power an electric engine through fuel cells. Primarily what were discuss is the plug in and hybrid vehicles which are plug in electric vehicles. What were not discussing is cng and hybrid simply because they dont fall under the definition of zero Mission Vehicles from the state of california. So what is the range of some of these vehicles, battery electric vehicles we see that full electric capacity having range from anywhere to 80 miles to 115 miles currently on a charge. There are some possible options here that could be integrated into municipal procurement including the ford focus, kia, the nissan lease which is what we have and smarty remembering trick drive vehicles and you can see the varying range of these cars, plug in hybrid electric vehicles. They have a shorter range on the fully electric component of their power system with extended range, hybrid engine that can be in access of 30mile and were familiar with the different hybrids that exist. Coming soon and not when i mean soon i mean next month are the long range electric vehicles which are battery electric vehicles that have a higher range than the electric vehicles we have seen on the market to date. This includes the chevy bolt which yesterday was named motor trend car of the year. This will be a 30,000 vehicle that gets over 200 miles of range. We have the tesla model three which gets 200 miles of range with a sim particular price range that has and then the Hydrogen Fuel vehicles, we do have the Hydrogen Fuelling station near ssfo and a potential for pro hydrogen stations to open in San Francisco in the next couple of years via a couple of energy grants that are pending decision. There are fuel electric vehicles including the honda tusan and the honda clarity. The San Francisco bay area is already a leader in electric vehicle adoption. And this is consist at that point with california is one of the Worlds Largest mark hes for light duty zero Mission Vehicles with plug in electric vehicle ownership exceeded 230,000 vehicles by the end of the summer. Californians drive 40 of all the electric vehicles on the road in the United States. And California Electric Vehicle market represents 1 3 of the worlds easy market. In San Francisco, theres approximately 5,000 electric vehicles registered to residents and businesses. And in some areas of our city, this represents 2 to 3 of the registered vehicle totals in those neighborhoods. So what this image represents is the darker green is where we have higher up take of electric vehicles throughout the city. So this shows how many vehicles are actually registered in these neighborhoods, and how many electric vehicles are registered in those neighborhoods as well. New sells of electric vehicle in San Francisco represent about 4 of those of the sells of vehicles in this city. And in the bay area, we see in communities and the south bay, new sells of electric vehicles representing 20 . So San Francisco and our early adopters of technology and throughout the bay area really are driving the market transportation for electric vehicles. But nationwide, worldwide, electric vehicles still only represent 1 of annual car sells. But this is going to change and its going to change really soon. What this image represents is electric vehicles that are coming to market. I mentioned the chevy bolt which of course is being released in december that will have better range and lower pricing. So in addition to the chevy bolt, we have the tesla which has the lower price point and the nissan lease is going to have over 250 mys miles of range and we have those entering the market who have promised, this week at the la auto show to deploy multiple models of electric vehicles by 2020. So electric vehicle adoption, i cannot be successful without implementing accessible ev charging. Theres three primary types of ev charging bases on use case of the vehicles, so a level one charger is what you think of when you think of a wall socket. This is the lowest cost for charging. This is for charging over night at home or in the case of our that municipal fleet when vehicles are not used after work hours and they can charge all night. Level two charging is common at work places. The chargers that we do have installed through the city of San Francisco are mostly level 2 chargers. A level 2 charge enables you to recharge that battery to gain about 25 miles of range per hour of charge. This is when you think of when you install a 234 vault driver socket if the and the range can level for level 1 and level 2. If we needed to install for example, a run to support a ped stool for level one at a municipal facility, that could require trenching and require labor cost, so we do see that this range of cost could vary based on the municipal facility and the use case of the vehicle, and how we pair a different a specific type of charging to that vehicles use case. And in San Francisco, of course, our cost are generally more expensive than what we see across the country, and these averages that we see here theyre average from a cross the country. We want to ensure moving forward in the analysis we conduct of how much it will cost for us to support municipal vehicles that were really looking at appropriate levels of budget for that charging. With level 2 charging, one of the important components that we also want to look at when assessing municipal facilities and the appropriate types of charging for vehicles is the Electrical Capacity of the building and make sure theres in the electric cal facility. One way for us to manage that is to through manage charging because they can be expensive. Load control strategies, these technologies that enable fleet recharge management through an integrated computerized system can really help accelerate deployment of electric vehicles without requiring those electrical upgrades and they sequence multiple chargers through an Automatic Process so you dont have all the cars charging at one exceeding that building. And also it helps to reduce cost for labor, for fleet, staff to be managing charging of electric vehicles. And reduces those, again, those electrical infrastructure needs. Likely what were not looking at for dc fast charge. Thats going to be applicable in the private sector when meeting the needs of business and Transportation NetworkCompanies Like uber and lift, and how we work with them to electrify their fleet of drivers. City does have one of the highest per capital rates of electric vehicle charging infrastructure vehicles in the bay area. At municipal across about 20 minutes of post facilities we have 217 publicly available charging ports. 111 of these are located at various municipal facilities, mainly concentrated around mta garages and lots, and then there are over 100 at sfo as well. 25 of these charging ports are dedicated to municipal fleet vehicle charging. You can see there in the green box, the september statistics for use of these municipal Public Public available charging ports, so theyre being utilized frequently. City wide we have 200 charging stations deployed. These points on the maps representing charging station thats can have multiple ports, so what you see here doesnt look like necessarily 600, but there are 600 here with multiple ports at each location. And then there are also dc fast chargers throughout the city. Not all of these are publicly accessible. Some are at hotels and other locations. But in general, we have one of the highest per cap rates of charging infrastructure in california and San Francisco has done a great job over 5 years of leading the charge of integrating charging station, but we see the private sector picking up this, and i think that as much as we can work with the private sector on Public Private partnership on how to deploy that would be great. Just quickly, and just if you dont mind, looking at the various maps and the up take within the city for ev, it once we expand into talking about the private market, really theres so much opportunity as you can see visually on the west side of town where we have more Single Family homes and probably more availability in terms of charging infrastructure, but there isnt a level of uptick as we would want to see, so i think again in the few just focusing on outreach efforts would be beneficial. Yeah. When we put together the green square illustration, we were really surprised actually to see the opportunity that exist in these areas that have Single Family homes, that have actual dedicated parking spot and garages and we also know our places where people are driving a lot compared to the center of the city where we have Public Transportation thats available, and what not. Its definitely an opportunity. Just quickly on what weve been up to in 2016, the city of San Francisco of course was one of the 7 finalist for the u. S. Department of transportation smart city challenge, and through this process, we were able to, in a very quick period of time, develop a strategy around ev deployment in the private sector with internal and external stakeholders. We of course were not successful in winning the dot smart city challenge, columbus, ohio won that particular grant opportunity. But from that particular from that experience, the city and the other smart city challenge finalist have begun to collaborate and Work Together. We collectively submitted a department of energy Grant Application that were waiting to hear about. E
