Madame clerk. I will submit all of my items except for i would like to adjourn the meeting in the memory of a Prominent Community activist, sar kassian who passed away suddenly on saturday. Mr. Sarkassian has a rich legacy of serving six decades in the city and county of San Francisco and was instrumental in the formation of the Armenian Community and later at st. Gregorys. And as a founder of the Armenian School as well as a founder of the local Armenian National committee of the chapter here in San Francisco. Additionally, he devoted his life in the armenian cause for the rights of armenian people. I would like this convey condolences to his wife, sons, and grandchildren and families.

Want to say thank you to a few people. Dennis herrera for trusting me in this position for the last several years. My office is full of brilliant, hardworking, committed attorneys who do all of the work to advance your policy agenda while i sit in this room and i am grateful for today and the things you have said, but it really reflects on the work of everyone in my office who are working on the actual legislation and advice for you. Three people in particular, i just want to call out and thank who have really guided me and been an essential part of my professional life will i have been working for the board, buck , whose influence on me i didnt fully realize until very recently. Jesse smith who is the smartest lawyer i know and has been a friend and mentor to me. And andrew shan who is just the best, most generous and patient coworker and sounding board. If i wasnt sitting next to him for the last seven and a half years, im sure i would have gotten many more things wrong, delivered ad
Related to their assets. Okay. So i would for one be delighted in you want to continue to agree to hold off on the adoption of the objective standards. I think first and foremost i dont mean to be cranky on deputy City Attorneys debut at the land use committee, but having our deputy City Attorney who is the legal subject matter expert, mr. Sanders, here, im not sure why hes not here, would be very helpful. I do not want to put ms. Pearson in the position of having to delve into a body of legal material that is not her subject matter expertise. So i would like to continue to hold off. I would like to continue the hearing and also like to get legal advice about the potential outcomes of litigation three months hence. And at about the same time, the updated report will be forth coming from our department of public health, which is truly independent of the fcc and the telecommunications industry. So i would like to make a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. And, colleagu
Implementation by july 2019. They have taken positive steps, but have fallen short of fulfilling the promises and the requirements of proposition f. Many tenants still go unrepresented, which is in direct violation of prop f. The right to council is an essential part of keeping people housed. Prop f requires right to counsel and San Francisco residents deserve nothing less. I look forward to working with the Mayors Office, colleagues, to make sure we achieve the universal right to counsel required by voters in prop f as soon as possible. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Supervisor ronen. Supervisor ronen thank you, colleagues. Today im introducing legislation to tighten regulations on landlord buyout of rent controlled tenants and protect tenants from high pressure. They feel like theyre living on borrowed time. Fearing the day their landlord decides its time to go. That comes in the form of take it or leave it, facing eviction or taking a cash buyout. Were seeing landlords and attorneys us
Influence at the federal and state levels to tie local governments hands and our ability to regulate this industry responsibly and commence rat with the desires of our citizens. Beginning when i was twoyearsold, with the federal Telecommunications Act, im sorry, i just missed that by 32 years. The Telecommunications Act of 1996, it was the first overhaul of Telecom Regulations in a half century and extending to changes to our state Public Utilities code and Public Utilities commission which even went further than the federal f. C. C. Our ability here in San Francisco has been con trained as it relates to regulation of publichealth and safety matters. Over the past several months, my office has undertaken a review to understand the difference between what is required of us relative to federal and state law pre emion and where we may have done more as required for us and where we con trained our authority to regulate in this area. Some have contended weve gone above and beyond what is re
