And bridging the gap of trust, particularly with communities of color across our nation . Sen. Scott i think Congress Plays a role in that, even a significant role, but the most important is the one on the local level, the mayors and county chairwoman, those folks have the most direct path towards Police Reform, not those of us in congress. I have shared this many times. I have been stopped by officers years. S in the last 20 seven times in one year as an elected official and all of my 18 stops were either by city, county, or state Law Enforcement, never by federal Law Enforcement officers. Literally while we know the president ial election is important this year, another very important one. The truth is your election for your mayor, a lot of citizens dont participate in, election every city council members, those are the folks directly in positions of power to determine the local Law Enforcement you have. When we dont vote in those elections, we are actually taking a step back from th

Can we have the next caller. Caller good evening, supervisors. Todd snyder for district 5. I thank you for amending this measure next week and supporting it thus far. I ask that you continue to support it today. And i want to point out that an arbitrary number of Sworn Police Officers provides no flexibility to adapt to the changing needs of our city. And this came from a Consent Decree entered into in 1979. And lifted in 1998. It has no relevance to the city today. So i urge you to continue to support this measure and to put it before the voters on the ballot in november. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Can we have the next caller, please. Caller i already spoke once and i have been unmuted. Clerk i believe this person has already spoken before per their comment. Can we have the next caller, please.

We did a whole thing to calculate it and we gave the Zoning Administrator the ability to adjust it as needed. The point is to ep sur ensure it a bar masquerading as a restaurant and theyre legitimately serving food and we think this allows an easier way for businesses to combine still clearly having food as a major focus of their revenue model. Where did you get that figure . It was a calculation from our restaurant study, we took the model from washington, d. C. And then we redid it through a local study of revenue of restaurants and took the 25 percentile and i can send you calculations if that would be helpful. Where you say the Zoning Administrator can lower the figure at any time, is that decision bound by any oversight by the Planning Commission or board of supervisors . We added, i believe im searching the legislation now, a requirement that he demonstrated how he calculates that, to provide that extra bit of oversight and if i can find it, that would be helpful.
