But of the residents, there were 18,500 votes cast from a total number of 2100 voters. So hopefully youll support this. Madam clerk, i think we can take this same house incall. Yes. Without objection, this ordinance has passed on First Reading. Maam damadam clerk, please cal. Comprised the interim budget and appropriation ordinance to appropriatate all estimated receipts and expenditures for the city as of june 1, ending june 30, 2020, through 2021. The annual salary ordinance to enumerate the preparation ordinance for fiscal years ending june 30, 2020, and june 30, 2021 and the proposed budget of infrastructure, operating as the Redevelopment Agency for fiscal year 2020. Colleagues, can we take these items, same house, same call. Without objection, these ordinance are passed on First Reading and a resolution is adopted unanimously. Madam clerk, please call the next item. Item 10 is an ordinance to amend the code to require the installation and use of telematic Vehicle Systems own order leased by the city and used by Law Enforcement agencies subject to a waiver by the city administrator and to affirm the determination. Colleagues, i know you have heard me talk about telematic over the last few years, probably more times than you would like but i will tell it again. You know, we actually passed some legislation to arm our city fleets outside of the Law Enforcement fleets with what we call the black box telematic and we can trac track and slow downe speed of the drivers and after two years of working with the Law Enforcement departments, we finally came to agreement after many, many, many, what we call what do you call those things . Where we meet with the rank and file and in 2015, i notice ed this as noticed, wewere approvis of payouts, that for all of the lawsuits between 2010 and 2014, the city paid 77,000 in litigation and lawsuits directly related to our fleet and this is unacceptable. Driving a city vehicle is a privilege, not a right. Today, more than 4,000 of our city fleet has the technology. So what were trying to do today is get the rest of the departments to follow suit. So what we found is in some departments, incidents of speeding have been reduced by 66 . Thats a big number. I wasnt expecting more than 10 , but we reduced speeding by 66 . Department have been able to address mechanical issues, such as more quickly because fleet managers are alerted when diagnostic uses appear. Before any employee checks out a vehicle, vehicle part of the mandated training highlights that this technology is installed to all city vehicles. Simply knowing a Monitoring Technology exists impacts driving behaviour whether someone is monitoring or not. This is scientifically proven and the impact of this effect hahas been updated and launched for employees. So i would like to thank the city administrator and her team. For overseeing this programme, creating a dashboard that departments can easily access and use to improve the fleet and for all of the work and the time during this legislation. Now, the biggest difference here is that the information that is fartherred through this technology is confined to each of the departments, like the Police Department and so forth, so just a guarantee that this confidentiality in this and we dont endanger any of our officers. So lastly, i want to thank my cosponsors on this, supervisor peskin and brown and i want to thank my staff, eric mayborn to make this happen and to get us a step closer to our vision zero policy. So im happy to answer my questions, but i would rather just have your support. Colleagues, can i take the same house, same call . Without any objection, then, this passes in First Reading unanimously. Madam clerk, please call the next item. Items 11 through 37, mr. President.

Colleague, can we take this same house, came call . Without objection, this resolution is atonighted adopted unanimously. Madam clerk, can you please call items 41 and 42 together . Items 41 and 42 are two ordinances that amend the health code. Item 41 prohibits the sale, manufacturing of Tobacco Products including Electronic Cigarettes on City Property and item 42 the retail establishments of Electronic Cigarettes that have required and not received an order from the food and Drug Administration approving their markets an markd flavour and ecigarettes that have not received an order approving their markets. Supervisor walton . Thank you so much. I want to make a statement about item 42. Today, we are having the first vote on this ordinance which received full positive recommendation out of Public Safety and nake Neighborhood Services committee. This is supported by the member heart association, the miran heart society, the parents against vaping, our department of Public Health, the San FranciscoYouth Commission and doctors from ucsf who work on the centre for tobacco and control research and education. According to the centre for Disease Control and prevention, the number of middle and High School Students who reported being current users of Tobacco Products increased from 3. 6 million to 4. 9 million and 78 among High School Students alone between 2017 and 2018. At the Public Safety services committee, we heard from parents, unio, youth and doctorn why we should not delay it. We see its new form through ecigarettes. I wont put this over the health of our children and our young people. The ordinance is not a permanent ban. It is a moratorium until Due Diligence is carried out by fda, concerning Big Tobacco Companies like jewels marketing to our youth. Companies like jewel have had three years to submit their product and marketing to the fda. The question is why havent they . And the answer is because they werent to protect their profits, to continue targeting and harming our young people and they know nicotine is not healthy. Ecigarette manufacturers claim this is a harmreduction device but according to the to centre for Disease Control, scientists have a lot to learn about whether ecigarettes are effective for quitting smoking. Theyre not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women or adults who do not use tobacco product and more prepare are addicted to nicotine who would not pick up a cigarettethis is r working community. This is for our smalle small mes and grocers and facilitating fasttrack permitting processes to help our small merchants expand the Healthy Retail sf programme, to assist the most vulnerable corner storing and expanding support for small mer merchants through Small Business among other ideas and to formalize this group, i will introduce a resolution before the recess to establish the working group and we will be working towards these goals with my colleagues and the merchants represented on the small working group. I also want to remind everyone this legislation would not go into effect until after seven months until the mayor signs and and 60 days after the mayors signature. I hope you support this legislation to protect our young people from being addicted to nicotine and a lifetime of addiction. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor walton. Supervisor fuer. Thank you, president yi. As this policy conversation has been unfolding regarding ecigarettes, we need to take into consideration the full picture, the Public Health perspective as well as perspective from our small grocev. Grocers. They have served as a Community Space for so many residents. As the small grocers and ourselves compete, we need to identify and prioritize strategies to support our small grocers with the input from the small grocers. I hope were able to explore ideas such as happening mer chaptermerchants to diversify offerings. Thank you very much for your leadership, supervisor walton, on this legislation. Supervisor marr. First of all, i would like to thank supervisor walton and Public Health advocate for your strong leadership on this issue. I support to protect union from nick seenicotine addiction. And while i fully support the goals of the legislation, i have struggled a bit with my position on it for a number of important reasons. I am concerned about the impacts of the legislation on Small Businesses, especially our corner store, market and liquor store, many owned by immigrants and people of colour who have in recent years grown more reliant on revenue from the sale of ecigarette products.
