Saying that were missing our water, and that should have been taken care of 10, 20, 30 years ago. Are we building, flushing, watering our plants still with pure water. Supervisor kim, graduates of the Navigation Systems do better when theyre relocated outside of their environments. Theres districts that dont want the Navigation Systems. But they should be able to handle the graduates. We need a new, realistic housing policy for the people in San Francisco, from the seniors, that the steps in their homes, they cant navigate anymore, to the seniors on only social security. From the renters that are stuck in homes that they cant move out of until they die and they have to die before the property is sold. Reality check time. Happy recess. Councillor breed thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. If there are any other members that want to address the board, please step up. Come to the right side of the chamber. Im michael shane. Im here to address our concerns about the written findings about the sale of sello terrace. We heard that several supervisors have stated that they based their voice on the facts. Lets look at the facts stated in the finding. Upon receiving confirmation, owner of the property had not received a mail notice that the treasurer should have taken additional measures to provide notice to the Property Owner. While we all heard that there was a return notice this year, that is not relevant to the facts of the written finding. The petitioner had not produced any evidence that there was a notice prior to the tax bill in april. So why is the date of return confirmation important . It goes to the plausibility of the argument. We need it look at whether additional notice was ill possible. The bill said it was at that time. So until the petitioner shows that there had been a return notice, it doesnt make sense that argue that the Tax Collector should have done more to provide notice. There was no opportunity for him to do so. Respectfully, i urge you to delay your decision until conclusive evidence is provided in order for you to makes an informed decision rather than rush into a decision that would harm the public trust and fair government process of San Francisco. Thank you. Councillor breed thank you for your comments. There seems to be no other members of the public. Clerk please step up, sir. Id like to have a moment of silence for mayor lee. I was shocked to hear that he passed away. I personally loved mayor lee, his wife, anita, and his two daughters. The last time i talked to mayor lee, it was not a very nice conversation. But id like to have a moment of silence for mayor lee, and for that little 8yearold boy, gabriel, who has murdered by his father because he thought he was gay. So, moment of silence, please. Thank you. Miss canada, and i have a picture, if you can show it on the overboard, please, 100yearold woman lived right across the street from ms. Breed. In my opinion, was taken with a noose from her house and she died. But after she died, she was left in a cold freezer for one month because the family couldnt afford to get her out of storage to bury her. Thats the legacy of lee and breed. No way. Clerk thank you for your Public Comment. Madam president . Next speaker, please. Um, i guess my condolences to the family for ed lees passing. I guess were talking about homelessness again and i have to go back to, who is monitoring in the city and county of San Francisco the standards of care . I i would like some type of answer from city officials. Right now, im under the impression its nobody. They dont monitor standards of care. My other problem is, theres been declared a state of emergency regarding homelessness. When you have a state of emergency, its more intense. I would like to believe that we can get reports as to what jeff kazinski is doing. Is he providing more housing or is he living off the coat tails of what was done . I would appreciate if you would start asking some questions. Im wondering about i guess im just very, very traumatized because im a victim of how the shelters abuse people and get a free pass. The committee doesnt have the tools to properly monitor the shelters. I mean, if a crime happens in a shelter and the shelter monitoring gets it, all they can do is issue a report. They dont have they cant interview staff. They cant get video. I mean, theyre under the whim of clerk thank you, sir, for your questions. Madam president . Councillor breed any other members of the public that would like to provide Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Madam clerk, lets go to the closed session, please.

My name is supervisor chair of the committee and to my left is Rule Committee members norman ye e our clerk today is john carole. And id like to thank jesse larson and nona mallconian for staff north meeting. Do you have any announcements. Silence cellphones and Electronic Devices and copys of documented should be submitted to the clerk and items acted upon will appear on the january 92,018th board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. Thank you mr. Clerk. Please call item number 1. An ordinance with the code to establish the Tenant Assistance Fund for hazardous housing and to allow eligible tenants to vacate issued bit department of building inspection or Fire Department to receive Financial Assistance for the fund for up to two years. Great. Unless theres im just going to make a few opening comments and call up members from the Mayors Office and department of building inspection, Fire Department and our Human Services agency and City Attorneys Office all who have worked on this fund. Back in the beginning part of this year as many of you know but this is also just for the general publics knowledge we discovered a hazardous situation and we had 30 individuals leave in dungeonlike conditions. They were in an old converted garage with no windows and no light and one way in and one way out exposing electrical wires and pluming and essentially little coupe cal cubicals built underground that were very small, tiny Living Spaces for almost 30 individuals and the reason this was brought tour. Tonimarie our attention we got a call from a tenant that said they were in dispute with the Master Tenant and many of you know a Master Tenant would be in one persons name with many people under one person and the Master Tenant dispute resulted in pg and e being shut off and there was an individual with breatheing support or ventilateer support that could not get it along with all the other tenants that needed electricity and it was a Master Tenant situation and we were extremely perplexed by the call for that particular address because we couldnt imagine where anyone would be living and Building Inspections along with the fire marshal were called and went out immediately inspected the space and discovered what i described in the beginning of the remarks and individuals living in dungeonlike conditions. For the first time in our citys history there was an order to vacate by the Fire Department but with that vacation, the City Attorneys Office was able to negotiate a relocation money two months rent and utilities for the tenants that were documented at that space over 4,000 per tenant and then working with the City Attorneys Office and h. S. A. And my staff and ben ames along with the department of homelessness and the support of housing we were able to negotiate some space in the existing building upstairs while an unauthorized church vacated individuals stayed there for a short amount of time and we got these individuals in to salvation army, light house, for a few months temporary temporarily again h. S. A. Stepped up to support those tenants and in the meantime we had this conversation that there was a warehouse working group that was then evolved in to this hazardous Housing Working Group and that is what is before us today and weve create aid new piece of legislation and we have a new program that will essentially treat individuals that are living . These conditions that are essentially asked to move or evicted at no fault of their own very similar to a fire and so we looked at the Fire Victims Assistance Program and essentially made a sub section under that program that would be dealing with individuals living in a hazardous housing situation and so this is designed to be transitional subsidy for those individuals six months primarily at discretion of the director of h. S. A. To extend more no more than two years to find more permanent housing so we again appreciate my colleagues sitting in a special rules committee meeting, we want to have this sent to the full board of the Committee Report because we want to take the first vote before the holidays and also to finalize this program when we return from our wintery sets so that we can begin to set this up and some of the things id like folks presenting today to think about is i know we did some initial thinking about how this money would be utilized and how much people might be able to avail themselves for this program but we might think about properly funding this if theres going to be more individuals identified as well as based on the discovery of more individual s living in substandard housing that might be asked to leave and the difficulty with this versus our fire victims Assistance Fund is in a situation of a fire, very often tenants have a place to move back to when the work is completed or theyre giving that option in this situation, its not as clear cut in terms of the ability to move back for five mesh a there was no option there was no way to make that livable space, if it were a above ground theres windows and air and light and maybe the upgrades could be made to make the housing more permanent and again thats why we put the discretion at the director and working with h. S. A. And Supportive Housing to make that final determination but in the situation of five persia theres not the option of making that permanent livable space so those are some of the things were going to think about today. So for unless you would like to make an initial comments ill call up jeff buckly from the Mayors Office who worked with our office hand and hand on createing this program. Interview thank you, i appreciate the opportunity to speak and so the legislation that you have before you as you mentioned i think the goal is to help relocate tenants who are displaced from their homes bit administrative orders to vacate by d. B. I. Or the Fire Department and this was created as a result of the five persia case just to kind of crystalize what supervisor said earlier, it was very clear from those of us who responded to the five persia situation we were dealing with a gap in the way that the city would respond to residents who are faced and living in this type of situation and we lacked the resources in really the system support to be able to work with those residents and find them habit able, suitable housing in particular i want to point out the heroic work of your staff because she jumped in to that situation and on the ground and really helped make what could have been a much more chaotic situation far more manageable but the reality was is that we needed to have a much better Response Network in spaces like this when and if they consider the city has the ability to step in there and have a more manageable process and i think a big driver of that concern for having this more managed process was the concern we would have people either evaporate in to a difficult Housing Market or find themselves homeless or on the street as a result of having, not having the necessary response. So a couple things that went in to it when we were looking at the legislation was, what i think is somewhat different than the citys fire response is in these situations what appears to be the clear culpability of the Property Owners and so what i think this legislation besides deploying the funds necessary to help rapidly rehouse people in safe Living Conditions, it also allows and puts on the hook the Property Owners who the city you know, knowingly contends have rented to people in substandard Living Conditions and so it has two effects. It both deemploys a resources and deals with the situations where the Property Owner mayor the Master Tenant may be culpable in the Living Conditions of this situation so i feel like it handles both of those situations. You have before you many of the different departments that responded who can provide you the information you may request and we enjoyed the partnership of working with you on this issue and i think weve seen it deployed in a situation since then to largely successful resulting but i think its also safe to say that this is a learning process and i think the city has to get better at its response in each instance so thank you again supervisor. Thank you mr. Buckly yeah a couple points that you added on we will have an annual report and well be submitted by h. S. A. To the board of supervisor and the mayor on the use and the he have ka see of this program as well as one of the things that we wrote in to the legislation was the ability to have if landlords were culpable and some of the money from the lawsuits would then go in to help fund this program so that would also be an additional stream of money to help fund this program and next individual id like to call up is ms. Olivia scanland from the Fire Department to say a few words. Good afternoon, thank you very much. Olivia scanlan government liaison for the Fire Department. So, we worked collaboratively with your office and we enjoyed it very much to try and, as jeff buckly articulateed come together as a city to be the safety net for these individuals and this began for the Fire Department and ill have the fire marshal chief speak to this , pretty much after what happened in oakland we got more calls and complaints for our fire members to look at these properties and see what people were living in and they were living in hazardous and dangerous conditions. The fire marshal will speak to 5 smear but we look forward to making this legislation, it will really help these people and in times of need when they need a safety net and they need the city to step up and be there so thank you very much and ill have the fire marshal speak. Thank you very much for your offices assistance, you were very helpful along with the fire marshal helping to respond in an aggressive manner. Thank you. Good afternoon supervisors fire marshal so just briefly on 5 persia, it was an illegal change of use to a residential use which was the facility was designed for storage in the basement there and it was changed to a more hazardous use meaning people were living and sleeping there. It was changed to a more hazardous use, it didnt have exits and it didnt have rescue windows and so the fire marshal position when we had to make a determination of imminent hazard as it relates to enforcing the fire code is if theres an illegal change abuse to a more hazardous use to a residential in this case and theres exiting and rescue windows it rises to that level of imminent danger and we issue an
