And madam clerk, my office made a request to add me as a cosponsor to this, please. We received that this morning. Supervisor ronen . This expands San Franciscos all gender restroom law to include hotels and most notably Single Room Occupancy Hotels known as sros. I want to first thing our supervisors kim, sheehy, safai. Sorry. Sorry. And supervisor safai. I didnt have this here. Thank you for your coupon storeship. This comes out of the restroom law that david campos championed in 2016, requiring that all restrooms become all gender restrooms. Since that has come to pass, we have seen gender neutral restaurants become the norm in restaurants and bars and other public spaces across the city. However, in the past year, transgender tenants of sros reached out to us asking us for it to include as well. It would help communities feel safer and more comfortable in their homes. About 5 of San Franciscoens live in sros, a critical source of lowcost housing. Many do not have their own private bathrooms, and people share toilets with other residen residents. It is currently not a requirement. This is important for the Transgender Community as human rights and a safety issue, but the issue also greatly impacts disabled people and seniors who have opposite gender tenants as well as parents with opposite gender children. I ask for your support in passing this law and creating safer spaces for sro residents. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor cohen . Thank you very much, madam president. The clerk, i just want to bring to your attention that i asked to be added to this file as well. I just wanted to take a moment to speak to it. This legislation is almost like a nobrainer. This is really exciting to continue to move forward. I think we have had success already, not just in San Francisco but across the state for gender neutral bathrooms. The world has kept turning. Knowing has happened. Its only logical that we continue to expand that opportunity as opposed to restricting it. So im happy to be added as a cosponsor. Thank you very much. Thank you, supervisor cohen. Colleagues, seeing no other names on the roster, can we take this item, same house, same call . Without objection, the ordinance passes unanimously on the first reading.

Madam clerk. L lets go to roll call for introductions. Supervisor ronen. Thank you. Supervisor safai. Submit. Supervisor sheehy . Submit. Supervisor stefani. Thank you, madam president. I just wanted to call attention to the car breakins. We know this has become a crime in San Francisco. As i said, broken windows on the street was a rare occurrence. Now its a daily occurrence. Most if not all of the people gathered say theyve been victimized. We see about 80 car breakins a day. Last year we saw a 28 increase in car breakins. These are just the reported number. We all know so many of these go unreported. And these car burglaries are being run by sophisticated criminals. Just the other day, i was in the pierce Street Garage between lombard and chestnut. I saw someone, as i was sitting in my car, come to the back of an suv, peer in, and, as i pulled out my phone to call the police, he went back into the garage, and then he came out with his friends in a silver mercedes, and they were laughing at me as i was on the phone. The other day, i was out to dinner with my son. We were in the same garage. We saw someone going upstairs and complaining and in distress that they had just had their car broken into. Its absolutely out of control. We saw a video where one of our Police Officers tried to stop an auto burglary in process and was run over by one of the suspects. This is absolutely unacceptable. As a former prosecutor, i understand the complex challenges around prosecuting these cases. No that all of you, my colleagues, have worked with chief scott to create a neighborhood property crime unit in each police station. I want to learn more about this structure. I want to understand how this unit is targeting the problems. I would like to see regular updates from this unit. I want to know how we, as a board, can provide the resources necessary to these units to actually affect ate change. I would like to continue to have these meetings regularly. I look forward to understanding the challenges of our Police Department, what theyre facing, and how we can find creative ways to support the sfpd in significantly reducing property crimes. Car breakins should not be a toll you pay to live in San Francisco. It is not a part of city living. I refuse to let this be the status quo in our beautiful city. We can do better. And i know we will. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor stef i stefani. Supervisor tang. Thank you very much, colleagues. Today i didnt wawanted to adjo meeting in the loving memory of. He passed away suddenly on saturday, january 27th. So ryan pitt was someone who had received his bachelor of arts in music and served in the navy. After his discharge at pearl harbor, he continued his education and completed his masters degree in fine arts. Upon moving to San Francisco, he worked for bank of america for over a decade, but he actually found his true passion in becoming the Office Administrator and the director of music for First United Lutheran Church in San Francisco. It was there where he found an outlet for his musical talent in playing piano, pipe organ, and musical key boards. He planned the worship service, prepared the bulletin, as well as a 16page weekly newsletter. You could hear him playing the organ at grace lutheran church. He considered himself a traveler and endeared himself to people of all faiths and cultures. At this time, we want to wish all of our condolences to his brother, sisterinlaw, his niece, nephew, and many of his dear friends. With that, i would like for us to adjourn in honor of ryan pitts. Thank you. Supervisor yee . Item, president breed. Supervisor cohen. Thank you. Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. Ive asked the City Attorney to begin drafting legislation to require the board of supervisors and their legislative aides to attend a complete and come police it biassed come Police Implicit biassed training and to encourage all staff in city hall to participate. Frankly, our Justice Reform initiatives with the San FranciscoPolice Department, which began in 2016 with attorney general Loretta Lynch and are now continuing forward with the California State Department of justice. It requires all of San Franciscos Police Department to undergo unconscious bias training to that we can and they can, as an individual, better understand how their own experiences or conditioning might affect how they are approaching a safety situation. So this is a tremendous step forward in trying to establish trust between Law Enforcement and our communities of color. Well, we, in a progressive San Francisco, tend to be to the left of the rest of the nations politics. I believe that we as Democratic Leaders are more enlightened than your average american voters. Perhaps im grandstanding and patting ourself on the back, but thats what i truly believe, but were not above scrutiny. We should force ourselves to understand our own baggage and our own impulses. I believe we should lead by example and not be afraid to hold to our own biases. Colleagues, i hope that you will support this very simple and straightforward piece of legislation. I look forward to seeing you all at our Human Resources bias training in the very near future. Thank you. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor cohen. Supervisor fewer . Thank you. Supervisor kim . Thank you. Supervisor peskin . Thank you, madam clerk. Today i am introducing a hearing request on the status of operations of our citys emergency call boxes. These antiquated boxes still operate in many parts of the city. Its come to my attention that dozens have been discovered to be nonoperational, which has been indicated by them being covered with towels and masking tape. Some of them are in district 7. Theres one in my district at california and larkin. For residents living in neighborhoods without strong cell reception, as well as those who dont have access to Wireless Services in general, this lack of call boxes is concerning, particularly as we have no communication or information from departments about the utility of these bobbiboxes and the fact that many of them are not functioning. To that end, i would like to hold a hearing and have the departments present on the status of these emergency devices. I would also like to adjourn todays Board Meeting in the name of edward senior who passed away surrounded by his familiarly. He was a member of the rock and roll hall of fame. He loved to sing and found his voice at a young age. He was the epitome of cool. He pursued his dreams on the nightclub circuit. He found his soul mate, and their life orbited around marina. I would like to offer our condolences to his family and the rest i will submit. Thank you, supervisor. President breed. Thank you. Colleagues, today i have one item to introduce. Its reform legislation. Today, the legislation i will be introducing will eliminate our citys criminal justice fees. These fees include adult probation fees of approximately 1,800 up front, electric monitoring fees, 125 to sign up plus 25 per day, sheriffs work alternative fees. 100 to sign up, plus 20 a day. Booking fees, presentencing fees. These are just a few examples of some of the fees that occur that lead to barriers of reentry. This impacts communities of color and contribute to the neverending cycle of poverty in our city. Many people dont know the tolls these fees have on a community. I know all too well the devastation it can cause families. Eve held family members and friends pay for these fees. In fact, when i was the executive director of the africanamerican culture complex, when we hired some individuals from the community, oftentimes after working for a few months, we received notices for the garnishment of wages, which basically can be quite discouraging when theres a deduction of over 50 of someones check that they never anticipated. Were talking about people who have already served their time in the criminal justice system, people who have paid their debt to society yet outside of those iron bars, theyre still shackled with the financial debt that they are unable to pay. It follows them for years. Thanks to the work of the fines and fees task force, investigative resource done by the public defenders office, we were able to identify all the fees that are levieded on our residents and found these fees are actually incredibly costly to administer, and they are an insufficient Revenue Source for our city. Because so man
