Football last night. Many of you knew here. Her. She originally hailed from chappaque, new york, and moved here at the age of 25. She would have turned 85 this friday, the 13th, which she thought was very lucky. A third of a century ago, she actually saw somebody on tv from the Telegraph Hill dwellers, and decided to join that organization, which she ended up serving as president four times, and cajoled me not only into joining, and later on cajoled me into running her and tom cajoled me against my will to run for supervisor almost 20 years ago. She would come and pick me up at 6 30 in the morning and drive me to bus stops and all of the rest of it. Her deep, dark secret was that she actually, many, many years ago, served on the republican countys Central Committee of california, which ive now outed her on, but she made up for that by running for the Democratic County Commission here in San Francisco in 2004 and 2006, winning both times, and serving as one of its vice chairs. She was pretty much active in anything you can imagine, ranging from the Harvey Milk Club to the San Francisco womens political committee, the National Womens political caucus, the chineseamerican democratic club, and was accepted and beloved by all of them. She was awarded repeatedly the Elinor Roosevelt award of the year, certificates of honour, and the Lifetime Achievement award for community activism, and on the occasion of her 75th birthday 10 years ago, the board of supervisor designated september 13th as jerry crowdley day in San Francisco. I want to thank everyone who took care of her, particularly Jerry Francone and kevin sessons, and the coach, who sent her volunteers, and the celebration of her life will follow at the italian athletic club, where Frank Sinatras my way will be played repeatedly. Condolences to the entire community, but especially to her granddaughters, angela and caroline, and their mother, maretta, and the rest of her family. The rest i will submit. Supervisor ronan. Thank you, everyone. I have three items. The first item relates to an issue that we talked about last week. I introduced a hearing request on information related to the decision of the department of Public Health to close down the residential the adult residential facility beds at on the General Hospital campus. Today im introducing an ord nanordinance, and i wanted o thank supervisors haney, walton, peskin, and marr, for coresponding, that will require d. P. H. To operate 55 adult facility beds immediately, and to and it also requires the department of Human Resources to provide staff to urgently hire the staff that is necessary to operate those beds. I want to talk a little bit about this situation because im not sure that everyone understands the implications of what has happened based on d. P. H. s decision to hold many of these beds empty and then shut 44 of these beds over the last year. First of all, they did this in secrecy. Had i known about this a year ago, i would have put forward this legislation a year ago. But despite the countless conversations that weve had with d. P. H. , the public hearings and the budget conversations, on the issue of mental health, during the entire conservatorship, they have never mentioned this extremely important fact in that conversation. I really think that that is problematic. We found out about it because an employee of the arf and of the department of Public Health, basically whistleblew on the department and informed us on what was happening, and because she was so upset about it, started organizing her peers to fight back. I want to make clear that this is not about any sort of personal bad feelings or relationship with anybody. Not any of my colleagues, not the Mayors Office. This is about the impact for people based on this decision. By closing these 44 beds a year ago, and the stated reason being that they didnt have enough staff to staff these beds, and because there was a complaint by the department by the state Licensing Agency about some of the employees that were working at the a. R. F. , this has meant people sit every day at a jail that is not fit for anybody to be there, let alone people that are so mentally ill they had to be conserved. There are 10 people, at least one of which has been there over nine months, who is waiting for a bed in a locked facility at General Hospital so she can get the medical care that she needs for her illness. The reason she cant get into a bed at General Hospital, a locked bed at general, is because there are several people there waiting to get into an adult residential facility bed because they no longer need to be treated in a locked facility. But because those beds arent available, theyve been sitting there for huge lengths of time. Those beds are the most expensive beds in our city, and their Civil Liberties are being violated. Theyre in a locked facility, where they dont need to be. This impact that this decision is having on real peoples lives is horrific, quite frankly. And possibly illegal. I dont understand how people who are so mentally ill are sitting in a jail when there are no pending criminal charges against them. There are constitutional protections against this. So i dont understand how this is happening on a daily basis and San Francisco. Then we have the people that you and i see in the streets every single day. These are people that our constituents call us about, that are screaming at phantoms that they can see, but we cant. On people that are so dirty and so sick that our heartbreaks, and we cannot believe that were letting them down. Those people are being kept from these 44 beds, that would take, let me tell you, 12 staffers to staff. So basically d. P. H. Is saying in a years time, we have not been able to hire 12 people to staff these beds accurately, even though we submitted our corrective action plan to the state a year ago, almost a year ago, on october 15, 2018, and we trained all of our staff to make sure that the mistakes made in the past were remedy to make sure that they no longer have dementia patients in that facility that is not appropriate for dementia patients, but is actually meant for people with mental illnesses. That theyve not been able to hire 12 people to keep these critical beds open. When i first learned about this from the whistleblower, i did the immediate thing that im sure all of my colleagues would do. I called dr. Kofax, i call kelly, i called andrews powers from the Mayors Office, to ask why you are guys doing this . What is happening here. I played phone tag with andrews and dr. Kofax for days. I got in touch with kelly, who oversees the flow of all of those beds. I said, kelly, how can you possibly be making this decision given the crisis on the streets . And she told me, because we dont have enough staffing for it. And i said, what have you done, what has d. P. H. Done to hire 12 staffers for emergency . Have you said that this is an urgent crisis that needs to be handled . Have you come to anyone at the board of supervisors asking for help . Have you done any targeted outreach to this community to make sure people are ap plielapplying to these jobs. The answer was no, no, no, no, no, weve done nothing but or normal process to hire the 12 staffers that are needed to open these beds to get people out of locked units and out of jail, who dont need and dont deserve to be there. I think this is a der dereliction of duty. I think it is incredibly problematic, and i think is incumbent upon us as elected representatives, whos job it is to oversee these departments, to demand change. And thats why today, along with four of my colleagues, who i really appreciate for stepping up to the plate on this, are introducing a resolution that will demand this immediate action, and that will back it up with help to conduct the hiring process and the compliance with its own corrective action plan, which is a year old, to make that happen. And im really hoping that you all the rest of my colleagues see the urgency of this, and see how important it is, see that the vast majority of people that locked up by the way, who are primarily africanamericans, that they are let out of jail and let out of locked units where they dont deserve and dont need to be. It is an urgent thing that we do. And i hope we can move this as quickly as possible. The other two items that i have, i want to thank every single one of my colleagues for signing on to. Im very excited and proud to say that together, unanimously, we are introducing a resolution supporting our next step towards breaking our ties to pg e, and achieving our long time goal of clean public power. For more than a year i have been Holding Hearings and demanding reports to push pg e to push them to be accountable for explosions and shutdowns, and to get them to stop inventing requirements that cause outrageous delays to public renovation and Construction Projects around this city. Meanwhile, they in a financial and operational tail spin as they struggle to reorganize and resettle claims for their wildfire liability. The bankruptcy exit plan filed yesterday, capping pg e payments to victims is woefully inadequate, and makes it evident they want to help hedge funds than to costumers. Now we have an opportunity to turn this situation around. What the city has delivered to pg e is an indication of interest, a formal offer to acquire their electrical distribution and transmission assets. What comes next would be Additional Research and analysis and negotiations. There are many specifics still yet to be resolved, including a very detailed and specific plan to protect current pg e employees, and a roadmap for Future Systems repair and upgrades. What is abundantly clear is that by having our electricity delivered by our own public utility, San Francisco has a potential to bring cost savings to our community, to invest in green jobs and infrastructure, and to modernize our alleging grid, and to be 100 Carbon Neutral by 2030. San franciscans are sick of being held hostage to pg e. By overwhelming passing proposition a, they organized bonds to pay for the public utility structure we so desperately need. Lets let the board of supervisors unanimously join with the mayor, who is joining with the City Attorney, who is joining with commissioners of the p. U. C. And the staff of the p. U. C. , to send a very strong signal to pg e that we are united and committed to once and for all creating a clean, green public power utility in San Francisco. And then finally, today im introducing a resolution in support of the free our Children Coalition. It is organizing a series of acts next monday, to raise awareness to the abuse taking place at the children detention camps. 30 years ago, in 1989, the city and county of San Francisco approved its landmark sanctuary City Ordinance to express our citys support for defending the human rights of all immigrant families and any individual who calls San Francisco their home. This year as we celebrate this important anniversary, we are reminded how important it is that we as a city confirm our commitment to the wellbeing of our immigrant communities, in light of the hostility our federal government is waging to everyone. We have seen the inexcusable conditions at immigration is centers that are paid for by our own government. They subject them to brutal environments that have been condemned by the United Nations high commissioner of human rights and other human rights organizations. On monday, september 16th, which happens to be mexican independence day, probably not a coincidence, a coalition of Community Members from San Francisco and throughout the bay area, will be organizing a day of action to demand into these immigration camps be closed and all children be free from cages. I want to thank the members of the free our Children Coalition for raising awareness of the mistreatment of immigrant families and children at the u. S. Border. We will be expressing our clear support for the september 16th day of action, to help secure the freedom of the innocent children and families being imprisoned in these inhumane facilities. The rest i submit. Supervisor stefani . It is my distinct pleasure to introduce a resolution for friday, known as two so sock day. It is one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays in korean culture, and honouring it today is a tribute to our korean community. In its emphasis on celebrating family and community, twosock day embodies the values that all of us in San Francisco hold dear. No community has done more to keep the Korean Center alive. The Korean Center provides tremendous resources to the entire bay area. It has pr provided educational, cultural, and social Service Programming for over 35 years. They have bacteria a been an invaluable support to our community. In this time, when immigrants are under attack all across this country, when theyre slandered by people at the highest levels of government, im proud to take this opportunity to honor twosock day, and it is just one of the many ways that immigrant communities have contributed to San Francisco and to the United States. Thanks to the koreanamerican community and to the Korean Center for their decades of support. And best wishes to you all doing twosock day. The rest i submit. Supervisor walton. Today im introducing a ordinance, along with supervisor brown, to amend the 2015 ordinance sponsored by then supervisor scott weiner, current senator weiner, to require Health Warnings on soda and sugarsweetened beverages advertisements. Earlier this year in january, the ninth u. S. Circuit court of appeals struck down our 2015 ordinance requiring Health Warnings on advertisements for soda and sugary drinks on the basis that it violates the first amendments and interferes with big sodas advertising. Today we are proposing an ordinance to require a 10 warning label, instead of the original 20 warning label, about the Health Effects of sugar consumption. The lab will read San Francisco government warning drinking beverages with added sugars may contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay. And well take 10 of the advertisement space. The text will be print in the size and manner that is clearly legible to the intended viewers. The legislation will also redefine the definition of public advertisements, to which the ordinance is ap publiapplicable to any advertisement, but not lights outelightsno limited to anyone in any of the following paper poster, billboard, on a marina, transit shelter, or any other structure, on a bus, car, train, petty cab, or any other vehicle, and on a wall or any surface material. San franciscans need tob awarneed to beaware of the healh impacts of sugary beverages, and need to have adequate access to nutritional information for the products they consume. Consumption of sugarsweetened beverages has been linked to a myriad of health problems, including but not limited to weight gain, obesity, coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay, and other health problems. Soft drinks and other sugarsweetened beverages are the primary sources of added sugar. Even regular consumption of sugary drinks, one can a day, can contribute to cardio problems, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. It contributes to the addiction to sugar in our communities. The American Heart Association reports that one in three teens or younger children in the u. S. Are overweight or obese. Childhood obesity is now the Number One Health concern among american parents. In 2010, nearly onethird of children and adolescents in San Francisco were either obese or overweight. Low income families are significantly more likely to be affected by obesity and diabetes, and many residents of the bay view living areas, where Fresh Produce and healthy food choices are already a struggle to access. In fact, the bay view Hunters Point neighbourhood have more per capita emergency room visits, due to diabetes, between 2009 and 2011 than any other neighbourhood in San Francisco. We know that our black and brown are unfairly targeted by soda and sugarsweetened beverage industries. For dates in San Francisco, approximately 29 of caucasians, 50 of latinos, 29 of asians, and 43 of africanamericans consume one or more sodas per day. Among ninth graders in San Francisco, approximately 31 of caucasians, 48 of latinos, 31 of asians, and 58 of africanamericans consume one or more sodas per day. Studies have shown that warning labels have been affective in changing
