Teller machine lease between wells fargo bank, and the city for a fiveyear term with a twoyear option to extend and minimum annual guarantee of 475,000 for the first year of the lease. President breed supervisor kim . Supervisor kim thank you, i realize that wells fargo was the sole bidder for the lease agreement, however, i have a number of concerns about wells fargo and their Current Business in San Francisco, given the gross violations theyve conducted upon their customers over the last year and a half. And second, given the small amount of revenue that this lease would even bring forward to the city at 475,000, i think the airport should have considered some of our federal Credit Union Banks or other banks here locally in San Francisco and consider that a cost to the citys budget as a way for us to support some of our local banks that are investing responsibly in our communities and neighborhoods and also not fleecing their customers, so i will be voting no on this agreement.

Supervisor cohen. Supervisor cohen i wanted to remind you of a few things as we get ready to debate. Madame president , thank you for calling this out of record. It deserves full attention. At the land use and Transportation Committee, on november 6th, supervisor peskin said that it would be his preference to do this right the first time and to be close to an 110 vote, because quite frankly, not only is the entire city watching us, but i would venture the entire country is watching what is going on here in San Francisco. Im asking to step back and continue this item until the next meeting of the full board which would allow businesses to continue to be online by the first week of january. I do hope that well be able to honor our commitment to collaboration and writing a law that is most appropriate for the entire city. For the entire city. I want emphasize that so were not leaving those people who we historic leave behind, thats people of color, veterans, people incarcerated, people who dont have a voice, that we dont rush the legislation. What will complement the entire body in the last two weeks, we have pulled together and i want to recognize the leadership in every one of the offices on the amendments that have been heard in committee. On the Public Feedback that youve received from constituents. Both for and against. Weve been busy. I still think there is more work to do. These ill thames were items were sent out of Committee Just yesterday and it would be most responsible to continue them until november 28th. Doing this ensures that the final legislation passed is thoughtful, culturally sensitive and the best legislation for the city of San Francisco. And most importantly, doing that will allow us to be up and running by the first week of january. From what i understand with talking to many colleagues, thats a priority and thats a priority that i definitely honor and want to respect. So, i want to ask that we continue these items so we can continue to do our Due Diligence and do our homework. This is a humble continuance request. Thank you. President breed thank you, supervisor cohen. Supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin i defer to the cosponsor of these two files, supervisor sheehy. President breed im sorry, supervisor sheehy is not on the roster. Supervisor peskin, do you want to wait and then i can call in supervisor yee . Supervisor yee . Supervisor yee so, let me speak to continuance. The last few weeks, weve been rushing through a lot of issues, lots of amendments, sometimes i wish i had a little more time to introduce more amendments. I would love to strengthen things like the equity piece, if there is a way to strengthen it. I would love to have more discussion around, should there be a cap in the city, or no cap . Should there be car belts for every district . Which counters somewhat the equity piece . Should there be discussion around what does it mean for to list childcare as Education Institution like the Public Schools or the schools . Seems like we need to have a deeper discussion what schools really are. There is the distance piece. There are many pieces to that than a few, that could use more discussion. The so, i just want to say that hopefully if the supervisor that had asked for the continuance, that we will have these type of discussions. I would love to then support the continuance. President breed thank you, supervisor yee. Supervisor sheehy . Supervisor sheehy so, i have amendments to make today. An amendment to make. That would allow existing operators to function on january 1st. I think its absolutely crucial we have something up and running on january 1st. I believe that the world is watching us. And i do hope that we can get it right. I do hope we can get a bill that is right. But earlier today, senator scott weiner and David Camphouse said the San Francisco board of supervisors is getting close to destroying the first blue collar industry that has come to San Francisco in decades. I know we can pass legislation that establishes the industry, collects taxes and protects kids by moving into a highly regulated market, rather than a black market and unregulated. Lets be clear, cannabis is available today. It will be harder to get on january 1st if we allow existing retailers, existing business to convert to adult use. Otherwise, we risk disintegrating the industry, right . So, there will be no enforcement, there will be nothing, there will be no way that the office of cannabis can enforce. There will be businesses operating, for instance, in berkley, oakland, that will be able to transport product into the city and legally sell it through the system. The supply chains will not be established because the manufacturers, cultivators, testers will have to make a choice between staying as they are, or getting a state license and not being able to sell to existing medical cannabis distributors. In short, we take what we already have and turn it into chaos. Now, i would hope that we could get the final legislation done by january 5th. You know, taking the time to get that piece right makes a lot of sense. But, not having something available on january 1, i think it makes us look bad. I really do. It makes us look like were not capable of doing our job. We have existing businesses. I know the problem we want to, and supervisor safai has talked about this, we want to make sure the existing operators are good operators and i believe hell have amendments to have the office of cannabis give them another look. But the reality is that the office of cannabis does not have to permit anyone. But this will give the office of cannabis the ability to issue permits. And if there are operators not operating well, through supervisor safais amendments to the operating roles, there will be another look. And well look at the well talk to the Police Captains in the districts. Well talk to the neighbors and see if theyve been Good Neighbors. But if we dont enable, if we dont enable this industry to start on january 1st, with people who have been operating, some of them for years, i dont see what were going to accomplish. And i get that people want to work out the kinks and the rest of it, but you know, i think that i would hope that my amendment allowing people who are operating now to add adult use, will be supported by my colleagues. President breed so, supervisor sheehy, i have a question about your amendment. Just for a point of clarity. So your particular amendment woul
