Listening to the song today it happened to come on the radio im sorry ms. Jackson i was thinking about her because when i served on the Redevelopment Agency commission that was a song that i used to play around with her because she would always come in and fight for the community and be serious and relentless but get her to smile when you sing that song or other things relative to the community a person with a heart of gold and cared about the community and put her life on the line unapologize lee he discovered a couple of years ago when i saw her with her daughter and granddaughter i used to hang out with a couple of people on the house open kirkwood and her grandson sadly who is no longer with us many of the family members he knew for so many years and spent countless hours and didnt know she was their mother and grandmother it was an amazing delivery and weve made that clear not only a great woman but a deep love for the bayview Hunters Point and so she definitely will be missed i know that clapping. her family will be having both a public and a privatepublic and services for the community that service will be held on thursday, february 4th at grace tab analytical church other than oak dial in 7 30 to 7 30 and flowers to the funeral home at 3434, 17th street and cards of condolences september to 321 engel street shell be miss the other in memoriam on behalf of supervisors supervisor yee and supervisor cowen and supervisor peskin the gentleman passed away on january 16th exclamation of cancer born in 1933 he grew up in new york and moved to San Francisco in 1959 he opened his Clothing Store in 1966 Near Union Square and since changed fashion and style forever with his imperceptibly taste for merging trend introduced designer brand to the city before anyone else brands that are household like georgia 0 auermann i think i only won one of the labs he was more than a fashion iconic a philanthropist served as the memorial broourts that ores the memorial a professionalism arts and cochaired this for a memorial a Veterans Memorial looked at across the street from city hall to which we was able to raise over 2. 5 million of private funds mr.

Supervisor campos. Thank you madam president i think just recycle it was appropriate to ask that we adjourn in memory of dr. Espanola jackson as a whole board ill ask the same thing for the gentleman make sense. Colleagues well take that without objection. To you supervisor campos. Thank you want to note a couple of points first there is a request that im submitting asking did budget analyst to do a followup report on shortterm rentals requests that arose at the last hearing how many units of how are you are being used as shortterm rentals so amongst the questions were asking the budget analyst and legislative analyst how many units are used in the industry how much the city has collected in taxes with respect to shortterm rentals and out of the thousands of units rentcontrolled unit who is that is pga taxing to the 71 and lastly how the city is enforcing the hosted and nonholstered shortterm rentals the second item that is something that is still to be honest i think we collectively have it probable been aware of as much the issue we have a shortage of teachers in San Francisco united we have a shortage of substitute teachers ive leader recently from a number of parents at one of the schools that many kids and many classrooms because the school board is having a tough time understanding teachers classrooms are consolidate that impacts the quality of education that the children have we did research and found the district it finding issues with substitutes in one out of 10 classrooms in San Francisco Unified School District it is happening because of the housing crisis because the School District not only is unable to hire teachers who candles afford to live in San Francisco but that inability for teachers to live in San Francisco is making it so that we dont have give you enough substitutes to fill the classrooms ill calling for a hearing that asks the question when what we can do to help the School District address those issues we cant talk about how to raise families if were not making it so the teachers can live in the city and county of San Francisco today clapping. i have a couple of items that i want to talk about and i want to thank supervisor cowen for her Charter Amendment i want to be added a cosponsor and supervisor peskin has the distinction of serving as a supervisor longer than me i happen to be the Senior Member of the current board of supervisors as that one of the things i think that is important to think about what this system that we have in place are adequate enough to really address the challenges of the city i think the question of the eject is an example of that here you have an agency that does have the authority on its own to begin the investigations including an officer involved shooting it makes sense for us to revisit that system and see what changes to be made but i actually building clapping that that is the tip of the iceberg that whether it is Police Reform or other issues we have to go beyond and one of the things ill ask we as the board to revisit is the structure of the question of time between the mayor and the board of supervisors the way it works right now is we submit written questions to mayor ed lee who comes here and provides a response that is also written but under those no opportunity to actually have a followup discussion on whether or not the question or the answers that were priority actually got to the bottom of how to deal with the issue at heart when that is the case i think we have an obligation to revisit this i believe that we need to figure out how we actually provide the public with a more mooeveng discussion continue this board and our mayor so i will be exploring as in the past amendments to question time in the mayors so have an opportunity to have a followup question that will happen if supervisor peskin had had the opportunity to do that and since were talking about dr. Espanola jackson ill simple make this statement one of the things i love and replaced about dr. Espanola jackson was that doctor im sorry shes doctor dr. Jackson was not afraid to call it as she saw it and to stand for what they believed and one thing ill say as an elected officials most importantly as a citizen the city ive been very disturbed by some of the allegations that came out in the last few days around possible corruption in this building and i know that people have strong views as an elected official im tell you that makes my blood boil when people do some of the things that these folks are being skewed it it makes us look bad address diminishes City Government and one things in the tshirt of dreamforce to commit the resources to make sure that we have a transparent and cleanair act local government and we possible can to that end the Ethics Commission has been asked by the Mayors Office to cut its budget i want to pubically go on record the supervisor i will not support a budget that cuts funding for the Ethics Commission i think that given the questions that have been raised by the District Attorney and the City Attorney this is the time to increase the funding for that the Ethics Commission not cut it liv calling names clapping. leann has made that clear foot recommending cutting that budget go in fact, recommending and then increase of budget i think this board of supervisors should wholeheartedly support thank you the rest i submit.

Apologized item 41 to reaffirm the board of supervisors senate to Racial Justice in your practices and urging the San Francisco Police Department to look at the use of force and exploring declaration to the use of force. Last year the issues or the incident that rose to the top were the Mike Brown Killing if ferguson and eric garden if Staten Island in new york city but incidents that happen here for San Francisco and need to improve the conditions of people of color and the relationship with the Police Department and a lot of reform fetters efforts to need to be enforces new ways of doing business within the San Francisco Police Department that will enable trust between our communities and the Police Department i clapping. this measure had references a dubious officer involved shooting killing of alex last year happened last mark of 2014 i want to acknowledge that alex patterns are hertterns are her e clapping. calling names. clapping. in a similar way that quentin woods was not the first person to hear about here sons killing or hurt in a bizarre way they were told with the investigators came to their house they were first questions before anything was told the killing of alex has very many has testimony that is disputing one another eyewitnesses that saw things differently than what was recorded and the original person that called 911 disputes what the Police Department indicates happened that alex pointed a tasers at the police again, this measure also calls upon the federal investigation of this case this is to make sure we get some sense of the truth extinct of the Police Department just like were doing with mario woods we also have in the measure call for an extinct investigation by the federal government of the lopez perez killing that happened in march of 2015 one year after the killing of mario this is caused grief within the Mission District and bernal height communities and really wasnt night e until the recent killing of mario woods we were able to talk about this as someone that needs to be investigated so it make sense that we have consistent what we are calling for in the federal investigation and closings colleagues ill urge your vote to vote on this measure so some sense of the from truth from the federal government rather than the Police Department who is not forget coming. Thank you supervisor campos for his support and cosponsor chp i didnt talk to other colleagues but wanted to make sure this is before us awhile were voting on an investigation for mario woods killing as well. Thank you supervisor campos clapping. thank you supervisor president london breed and i want to thank madam chair rosales and i think it was truly appropriated to recognize the parents from his family. clapping. i have to say i take responsibility because i feel that as a member of this body i didnt do enough to deal with what happened in the alex case i just to be clear about that if we if i as an elected official had done more maybe we have done something about how the Police Department for one thing interacts with the family that goes through this is as noted by supervisor avalos you know we heard under dwen woods as horrible in this case the family was actually interrogated first and they were made to feel they were suspect so can you imagine how u having that and so in the spirit of what we did with dwen woods i want to pubically say im sorry honor treated by itself city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco tself city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco tself city and county of San Francisco of san francischtself city and county of San Francisco of san francisctself city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco self city and county of San Francisco of san franciscelf city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco lf city and county of San Francisco of san franciscf city and county of San Francisco of san francisc city and county of San Francisco of San Francisco speaking spanish. ill simply note by making the mistake request alex and lopez perez again, the chiefs account of what happened this young man was charging the officers with the knife it took by way of a foreign newspaper in the uc to do an investigation pointing out in the autopsy the in young man was shot in the back so how someone who is charging Police Officers with a knife is shot in the back is i dont understand the law of physics so again, i also take responsibility for the fact that i didnt do enough following the perez lopez to get to the bottom of what happened and maybe if we had done that in this case we wouldnt have been here im here to say im proud that we have as a board taken a united u. S. Bancorp if i had front and today introduce the anonymous approval of other resolution we are were not to going to make the mistake of not getting it right well get it right Going Forward im proud of that clapping. supervisor avalos. Can couple of things i forgot to acknowledge father Richard Smith has been working closely with lopez perez community has been someone that has been advocates clapping. so the young man who was shot i see it is vitally important we acknowledge what is happening in terms of officer involved shootings in San Francisco, and around the country it is something that effects the community of color in particular the black communities africanamerican and Latino Community and we have to Work Together to build this unit not a one community over another both of our communities all of the communities together that need to work to create the institutional changes i have an amendment we want to make sure it gets into to vote on further resolve cause clause after the first on line 11 you have copies colleagues further be it resolved, that the board of directors request the United States department of justice to undertake the shootings of alex and lopez and he perez and mario woods and the process by which the San Francisco 49ers look at the use of force incidents thats my issue my motions to accept clapping. supervisor avalos has made a motion is there a second second colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. The amendment passes. Yeah. clapping. okay on the actual item as amended colleagues, can we take that same house, same call . Well take that without objection. The that item passes as amended and madam president for clarity for the record madam chair rosales. Seconded that. Yes. The amendment. All right. Madam clerk lets get through item 43. The item to urge mayor ed lee to enter into a formal agreement with the San Francisco bay area super bowl 50 host committee. Supervisor kim. I want to make a motion to continue for one week. Who said second and i did okay. Supervisor kim has made a motion and succeeded r seconded economy by supervisor peskin. I know supervisor kim how you feel id like to send this back to the committee. Okay you want to send this through committee. So madam president. One second supervisor peskin because i need to understand which one takes precedent ape a motion made and seconded sorry supervisor peskin madam clerk. In the presence of motion the motion to postpone once it is seconded it is takes the precedence of motion to continue or the motion to postpone to a date certain over an item to refer to committee. Okay so that means there was a motion and second so we are required to vote on that first and well not be able to send this item to committee. The motion that should be taken madam president is the motion to continue to a date certain. Okay once that is actually made and seconded john our City Attorney deputy City Attorney it shaking his head and mr. Gibners if we ask have a minute to confer i was directing my comment to the clerk with justice a second a a 30 second recess. Okay. So thank you. We wanted to make sure we had clarity around a specific item there was a motion and second to that item it is specific privilege of any members of the board to send any item to committee which takes precedence over any other item and so basically supervisor farrells request to send to committee is a point of privilege is a process. Supervisor peskin we can debate that different boards did it differently over time only if you rise to a point of privilege can you assert that the supervisor doesnt arises to a point of privilege on unilaterally attempted to sends it to committee over a motion that takes precedence was made and seconded this is what happened that is the motion that is before this board had supervisor farrell risen to a point of privilege and inrecognize that privilege well have that argument that didnt happen. Supervisor peskin based any feedback from our clerk and Legal Council it is my understanding that his point of privilege takes precedence over the role of making it a motion it continue. Madam president i dont irrational wish to be argumentative he didnt invoke the privilege number one and number 2 if council is giving advise to the board on internal board procedures given to the whole meeting and the clerk the board lets be clear. Thank you supervisor peskin so mr. Gibner can we have clarity please. John gibner, deputy City Attorney so i supervisor peskin a absolutely right the clerk sat paurmentd telethon when you called on me earlier he was just making a motion to the clerk to discuss to make sure were that on on the same page what i understand to be the board and clerk interpretation of the board rules not a situation that the City Attorney telling you how to run our meeting i want to make sure that the clerk was advising the board consistent with the passing okay madam clerk. Thank you madam president i too believed what supervisor farrell was making a motion which is why i believed this is important to say once it is seconded that becomes a motion on this found out that was an actual point of privilege which is is a principle that comes from the charter that a resolution has to be anonymous on First Reading and that if there is a question about that item it can be sent to committee by a siren supervisor that is as motion and the board treated motions similarly to howell how motions are recreated in the past which is why once i determined an actual point of privilege on behalf of supervisor farrell even though theres a motion from the president of motions from the boards rules the privilege request takes precedence over an actual motion. Okay with that, this item goes to committee okay supervisor cowen. Thank you. Im sorry no members of the public can engage. Supervisor cowen. A point of privilege to the paramounty clerk the term rise to the point one must physically come out of theory seats it sounds like sil you this is roberts rules of order a formal way of the studies roberts rules of order and appropriate way to address the board he is referring to that supervisor farrell did not state pubically to committee that is which is a appropriate to do and actually normally should have been done, however, does not minimize his privilege if navigate he is superintendant gerrero experiencing that privilege. Supervisor campos. Just a question family through the chair to parliamentary in the past been a different interrogation that says that a point of privilege requires that the person rise four that to take precedence over a motion. Ive worked for the board of supervisors since 1996 not seen a bridge with that issue i have i will over that if there is an appeal if the decision of president that wanted to occur that is certainly that can happen which is will the decision of precedence stated and her decision to send this to committee a board rule that allows an appeal from that decision is a motion is made i make a motion to that the decision of board president will stand or one makes an opposing motion a seconds and a majority vote will unshould you on option. Im confused but i guess this item a going to committee and were moving on okay all right. Madam clerk can you read the next item the next item is item 54 motion to approve the final map as residential unit condominium project those on lombard and to adopt the appropriate findings. Colleagues can i ask ignore a continuance to one week of a meeting of february 9th . Move forward by supervisor tang and seconded by supervisor campos colleagues well take that without objection. Madam president earlier a two go week continuance. Okay. What meeting is that. February 2nd. February 2nd. Thats one week. I said february 9th was i correct . 2 slash 2. A motion to move to continue this item to the meeting of february 2nd of 2016 . Moved that he supervisor farrell seconded by supervisor yee colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. The continuance passes all right. Madam clerk whats the next item item 55 okay motion to schedule the board of supervisors to sit as a committee as a whole on february 23rd at 3 Public Comment for that a Public Meeting and 30 years the board of supervisors to you will be instructed the Affordable Housing obligation for so on and so forth the interim controls at the june election. Okay supervisor farrell thank you supervisor president london breed im more happy to let people im rising as a point of privilege to send to committee. So with that, it is my understanding that thats the case there it is been sent to committee no further discussion of item am i; correct. Thats correct Macarthur Park madam president you supervisor peskin please let me recognize you before you speak prelim please madam clerk clarify whether or not debate on an item that is sent to committee ill say the point of privilege. Ive risen with the information. Which ill address as soon as the clerk clarifies the situation. If supervisor farrell sent this to committee that is essentially removing it from the hands of board and no longer before the board. Supervisor peskin he rise to a point of information that point of information i hereby assert a motion is intoifrl different than a resolution i assert and i acknowledge there have been different ways at different boards treated the motions different there are board that haves actually required months ago to be sent to committee by a majorities vote i suggest to you colleagues that in as far as a motion which unlike a resolution is a function of this body that we need a 6 vote majority to send this to committee mate my position and wanted a roll call vote to send to committee. Unfortunately supervisor peskin this item a no longer in the hands of the board since this is sent to committee with that, madam clerk call. Madam chair or madam president i like to rise to make a motion to appeal our decision in that matter is there a second for that motion. Supervisor peskin i not recognized you again and in this case this item from maintenance is not necessarily my decision it is once sent to committee no longer in the hands of the board of supervisors. Madam president i believe that this motion of mine appealing our decision is properly before this body. Madam president board rules does indicate that once a decision is made and the supervisor wishes to appeal it maybe taken immediately. Voted on. Thats right. Okay so can you repeat now that im recognizing you mr. Rosens repeat our request. Madam president thank you for that opportunity i am not trying to be argumentative certain things a members of the board can rise to without in no way trying to be disrespect. You sure like to rise dont you. All 5 foot 4 of me, im respectfully appealing our decision ive made a motion to the boards which has been seconded to appeal our ruling that this should be sent to committee and i would like a roll call vote on that matter please. So i need a point of clarity it is madam clerk it is not necessarily my decision as much as it is specific to the boards refuges can you clarify that. Please. So as statistics previously the Charter States that resolutions make sent to the committee if not anonymous on the first votes traditionally the board has contemplated motions and done the reach as ive mentioned fee supervisor peskin half the times months ago are sent unanimously by a single supervisor and half the times months ago are by a majority of board so it is needs clarifying in the rules i will agree but right now a decision of the president has been appealed and certainly can be voted on. An appeal to do what specifically and supervisor peskin as appealed our decision requesting that didnt stands in fact, a motion to send this to committee he made the motion but you have not yielded declared this second. Supervisor campos made a second. Okay. You did i did. Okay. All right. So then well vote on whether or not to send this item to committee. Youve vote will be the motion is whether or not your decision will stands so were voting on our decision and then substantially the motion will actually be taken on whether or not to send it to committee. Thank you for that clarity. Okay. Supervisor wiener. Thank you so i just clarify every time the chair makes a ruling is an interpretation and my understanding which i was the chair of the parties the motion you vote yes if you agree with the chairs rules and no, if you disagree four clarity for members so, yes means to sustain the ruling and agree and no means disagree and overturn the rulings of chair. Thats correct. Okay and then just also anothers point of clarification if this item is voted on today and not unanimous it fails. Madam president i believe the motion once we actually get to the motion to send it to committee would be by 6 votes. Got it. If youre decision didnt stands. Supervisor cowen. To the president to the clerk this board probably for the good part of last of years have carried out in a specific way of board culture this is something new that we are addressing new manner in which wear l. N. Over business does that mean all the other votes and motions and things weve sent in the past was it incorrectly done. Through the wanting to the supervisor cowen i can only speak to the last 9 years thats sufficient. laughter . And this body has a record of sending items to committee both ways as well and so it doesnt mean that was wrong but it was just the preference the president. Ize so in this case i dont understand why were the differences the president has indicated. I think the differences a member of the body that is indicating he would like to do it a different way. So one member of the body has the authority to change the entire body. No that takes an entire body and madam clerk i apologize. I know it is late in the hour i want to make sure we are clear think what we are doing way please explain. Youve made a decision that supervisor peskin seconded by supervisor campos would like to appeal your decision to allow this motion item 45 to be sent by a single supervisor. Which by way of for clarity ive always done if every single instance when someone as asked. So a vote will be taken on whether or not your decision should stand. And so if by decision should stand wait just to be clear what choice do you have i cant say no if a board member asked to send something to committee im trying to understand the way it is being phrased it my full decision when, in fact, a decision of this board under the rules im just doing exactly what im supposed to do as if youre fighting against my decision on my own when in fact, im doing properly following board rules to send this to committee because of a simple supervisor requested as from the past and now were voting to oppose exact okay. So madam clerk can you please explain is request and what we are voting on. A decision on whether or not a simple supervisor can send a motion to committee. Okay. If you support that a single supervisor can send it to committee youll vote. I. If you do not support it youll vote no. Okay thank you for the clarity. Afterward well take a vote to send to committee. Supervisor kim. I think were ready to vote i think as madam clerk stated it has on the history of the board weve done that 50 percent of time with motion and 50 percent not so this is not a question this board has answered we have historically done both thousands not out of practice no simple supervisor has come onto the board and changes it weve historically done that regarding motions not resolutions i wanted to clarify. Thank you, supervisor kim. Supervisor wiener. To be fair for the president this appeal is not in any way a criticism of the president this rule is due to practice or lack of clarity and treated in different ways to the through the chair is supervisor peskin thinks it should be done in different ways thats his prerogative. So call the roll a. Think whether or not the past, present, and future of the president. Supervisor kim no supervisor mar no supervisor peskin no supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee no supervisor avalos no supervisor breed supervisor campos no supervisor cowen supervisor farrell there are 5 is and i have notices with supervisor kim supervisor mar supervisor peskin supervisor yee supervisor campos and supervisor avalos in the december sent. So i guess that means that the decision does not stand; correct . And madam clerk weve already called item 55 so what are were going to do with it. Now essentially the single privilege of supervisor farrells to send this motion to committee has pan recess sentdz and a motion to send with committee with an actual motion bye modest made by supervisor peskin is on the floor. So and supervisor peskin. I would like to make a motion to continue this item for one week. Okay supervisor peskin has made a motion to continue one week and sobriety by supervisor kim and supervisor farrell. Ill second it my point of view first of all, i want to discussion i thought we were going to hear this like jeopardy but but in terms of this one any question is truly we discuss it next week why we send to the full board and others to the rules committee that is appropriate for the entire board to set through a hearing i want to be judicious about but happy to support the continuance. Okay supervisor peskin made a motion to continue item 55 to the meeting of february 2nd, 2016, seconded by supervisor kim colleagues well take that without objection. Well take that without objection. This item a continued until next week all right. Lets get to youre not necessarily final but item 56 item 56 to motion to suspend the roberts rules of order to consider without reference an amendment to extend the term of joint School District to march 2017. Okay supervisor kim. Sorry im trying to turn on any mike id like to make a motion to file that item. Or table. Or table. Madam president an item certainly your decision supervisor kim on which motion to make tabling will keep it alive for 12 months keep it on the books or vote that down and this dispenses it more efficiently. Okay so instead of ill withdraw my motion and take a roll call vote and request a no vote. In the Advisory Committee of the fact that supervisor breed is asking want Public Safety and committee to take up issues that pertain to the School District and at times invite the members of the Budget Finance Committee to sit with the committee i think that it makes extending the joined sorry the joint school move for this year so colleagues he ask you to vote down this item and i submitted in motion previous to the decision that was made by the president thank you, supervisor kim madam clerk can you call the roll. Supervisor kim no supervisor mar no supervisor peskin no supervisor tang no supervisor wiener no supervisor yee no supervisor avalos no commissioner borden no supervisor campos San Francisco supervisor cowen no supervisor farrell no there are 11 nos the motion fails all right. Lets get to the imperative items on behalf of the supervisor mar we have an imperipheral item for the California State Assembly authorized by the assembly merry irwin and senator, huh . Abandons the sale of poured alcohol in california before. I recognize supervisor mar colleagues, i time to read specifically that we have an image pester item that requires the board to conduct 40 two finding of 2 3rds marge or 8 votes for the adoption of the item at this time, id like to recognize supervisor mar to specific the vjd and once we support the finding we will open up for Public Comment and then actually votes on the item. So colleagues he urge support of this as an imperative it is an urgent item with legislative impact and mines is we submitted if this last week or expected to submit f it for landmark but making sure we take action on an Important Public Health Issue is critical.
