Out to speak on this item. I also want to note that we have in the audience former supervisor tony hall and its good to welcome a former member of this body here. I will keep my comments very brief, because i think that everything that has been said, that needs to be said about this matter has been said by the tenants themselves. And i especially wanted to thank the tenants and the residents of not just sro hotels, but different units in the city that have come forward to shed light on this issue. I also want to thank supervisor kim and her staff, who have been dealing with this issue from the moment that she got elected.

So im very proud to be a cosponsor. I think its one of those pieces of legislation that is truly a nobrainer and my hope is that it will go forward to the full board where in my hope t
The creative director on the stickers. Thank you, to all coming out. And im very happy to support this. Thank you, supervisor farrell. Again, i just wanted to thank everybody, as everyone has already said. While our office was really happy to carry this through to implementation and bring it to the full board this legislation really came through the input of residents and advocates. You had worked on this issue for years before i had even come into the office and im happy to bring this forward to the full board. I think they are some really good fixes within our Public Health code that will provide us more information and the data that we need to effectively utilize the resources that we do have to combat bed bug infestation in the city. Not just by complaints, but by pest control operator abatement will help us understand the scope of this throughout the city of San Francisco. I did have a number of amendments, which i had articulated prior to Public Comment and i was hope we could ta
