I will submit all of my items except for i would like to adjourn the meeting in the memory of a Prominent Community activist, sar kassian who passed away suddenly on saturday. Mr. Sarkassian has a rich legacy of serving six decades in the city and county of San Francisco and was instrumental in the formation of the Armenian Community and later at st. Gregorys. And as a founder of the Armenian School as well as a founder of the local Armenian National committee of the chapter here in San Francisco. Additionally, he devoted his life in the armenian cause for the rights of armenian people. I would like this convey condolences to his wife, sons, and grandchildren and families. Clerk supervisor preston. Im calling for a hearing on june 25, 2018, voters passed proposition f to guarantee a right to council for any tenant in San Francisco facing eviction from their home. Proposition f required full implementation by july 2019. They have taken positive steps, but have fallen short of fulfilling the promises and the requirements of proposition f. Many tenants still go unrepresented, which is in direct violation of prop f. The right to council is an essential part of keeping people housed. Prop f requires right to counsel and San Francisco residents deserve nothing less. I look forward to working with the Mayors Office, colleagues, to make sure we achieve the universal right to counsel required by voters in prop f as soon as possible. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Supervisor ronen. Supervisor ronen thank you, colleagues. Today im introducing legislation to tighten regulations on landlord buyout of rent controlled tenants and protect tenants from high pressure. They feel like theyre living on borrowed time. Fearing the day their landlord decides its time to go. That comes in the form of take it or leave it, facing eviction or taking a cash buyout. Were seeing landlords and attorneys use loopholes to intimidate and force out tenants. With rents continuing to rise out of control, landlords have powerful incentives to remove and replace longtime tenants. Some landlords see a cash buyout as a way to get tenants to move out quickly. My predecessor passed the buyout ordinance in 2014, which among other regulations established reporting to the rent board. They reported 379 buyouts filed in neighborhoods throughout the city, with the highest numbers in the mission district. We also know there are buyouts that are not filed. In fact, some advocates estimate that there may be as many as three untracked for every one that actually does get recorded. We need the facts and need to be sure the laws are being followed. What this legislation will do is the following. First, it will ensure that tenants are informed of their rights. Were seeing landlords deliver required disclosures to tenants after starting negotiations or never deliberate at all. My amendment will require landlord file a declaration prior to commencing negotiations providing evidence of disclosure and method of delivery. Second, it will give tenants time to decide. Landlords use take or leave it deadlines that leave tenants no time to reach out for assistance. The amendments set minimum of 30 days between the initiation of a buyout and execution of agreement. Finally, the legislation will force landlords to file. Landlords sometimes file an unlawful eviction after they start the buyout negotiation, in order to recharacterize them as Eviction Settlements. Our amendments define Eviction Settlement agreement filed within 120 days of start up of negotiations subject to regulation. Lastly, the amendments will push landlords to file by voiding any waiver of tenant rights that tenants agree to in the agreement if the landlord does not file on time with the rent board. I want to thank the very fierce persistence of tenant advocates who together with the San Francisco coalition brought these issues to light. And then, of course, to the late great ted who was the brain behind the original buyout ordinance, that supervisor compost sponsored and i was a legislative aide at the time, who had the privilege of writing that law together with ted. So i can never think of this law without thinking of ted. But the amazing teresa, fred, deepak, scott, are continuing his legacy so much love and persistence and were the ones to bring these continuing issues to us. I want to thank amy, my incredible legislative aide who is such an expert on housing and just has never ending appreciation for her. And then finally, im hoping that this is our very own tenant rights advocate attorney, supervisor prestons first cosponsorship of a tenants right legislation, seems appropriate, but i want to thank you, supervisor preston, for your cosponsorship, as well as fewer, haney and preston. Supervisor safai submit. Supervisor stefani thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, its no secret our country is behind so many other countries in supporting families. Our National Paid parental leave policies force people, particularly women, to choose between their newborn children and going to work. Of course, here in San Francisco were doing a little better than the rest of the country. In 2016, under the leadership of then supervisor wiener, San Francisco became the first city in the county in the country to ensure that employees received 100 of their salary when they took paid parental leave. San franciscos Program Works like that. Under california law, workers can take up to six weeks of partial paid parental leave. San francisco employees are required to pay the difference of the salaries, so theyre making 100 of their salary up to a limit. This law has helped so many people and has become a National Model and had major impacts throughout the country. In may, Governor Newsom he will extend the leave to eight weeks, still not enough in my opinion, but im introducing legislation today to update the citys paid family leave to comply with the new state law and ensure eight weeks of fully paid leave. As a mother, i had the benefit of strong paying laws when i had my children. It made a difference. The rest i submit. Supervisor walton colleagues, today i have an ordinance, a hearing and memoriam today. Illegal dumping has been prevalent in many of our neighborhoods. From january of november of this year, we have seen almost 91,000 Service Requests for legal dumping in San Francisco for public works and recology. In district 10 alone, we have had 11,177 cases of Illegal Dumping from january to november. The second highest in the city. And in district 9, there has been 16,930 cases in the same time frame. Making it the area with the highest rates of reported Illegal Dumping. My office has been working with public works, recology, sfpd, the City Attorney, to come up with solutions to stop people from putting their trash and debris on the streets and sidewalks. We had a safety in the Public SafetyNeighborhood Services committee in march to address some of the concerns. And im excited to announce this new piece of legislation to address Illegal Dumping citywide. Our proposed legislation will redefine and expand the definition of Illegal Dumping, including what constitutes as one commercial waste, two, electronic waste, and prohibited materials. The legislation will also clarify the types of violations as well as add enforcement allowing public works employees designated in the police code to Issue Citations. At the moment, only sfpd may Issue Citations to the people caught in the act of Illegal Dumping. This creates the possibility of negative police contact. I want to thank the deputy City AttorneyChristopher Tom in my office for working on this legislation along with cosponsors fewer and haney. I would also like to introduce along with supervisor mar, a hearing to be heard at the joint city sfufd select. The hearing is on how class cuts impact lowincome communities of color, immigrants, seniors, and in particular, the residents that take these classes for Vocational Training and for continuing education classes. Im also interested in hearing how this impacts High School Students who take classes in an effort to meet College Entry requirements. Any proposed cuts should be heard by the students and communities that will be most impacted. It is our hope through this process, we will get a better idea how to advocate for the students most impacted by class closures. And last, it is with a heavy heart that i want to call this in memorial. In district 10, we lost 12 lives. Other neighborhoods have been impacted, such as the western additi addition, tenderloin and the mission. It is clear that the strategy we have in place need to be accountable to these families. Our response and followup need to come from a lens of healing and prevention. I am committed to working in the name of these Fallen Community members and commit to continue to advocate for Real Community strategies that bring us all together to take care of each other. To you will the families that to all the families impacted by senseless violence this year, i offer my sincere condolences and will continue my work in honor of your loved ones. To all those lost lives in traffic accidents, i will work to improve Traffic Safety and pedestrian safety. Finally, to the family of the young native woman who lost her life too soon. I commit to fighting for resources for women and children. Together we can honor these memories through our commitment of addressing violence. Our district 10 safety plan will be released early next year. And i hope this is the first step in working towards healing and solutions together, along with our vision zero plan to fight homicides and Violent Crimes here in San Francisco. The rest i submit. Clerk supervisor yee. President yee thank you, madame clerk. Before i go ahead and introduce my hearing request, i want to make sure that because earlier when i was naming off the committee membership, i actually omitted one of our very important committees. Which is the joint City School District and city college select committee. So i want to read into the record that it would be the members representing our board would be supervisors haney and fewer. And the alternate will remain supervisor mar. And the other members from the other institutions remain the same. So, one of the things i want to do is talk about second hand smoke. Just yesterday, the first study of the ecigarette use over extended period of time was published. Over 32,000 American Adults were part of this study that took place over three years from 2013 to 2016. The city found there is a real casual link between use of ecigarettes and a persons risk of developing chronic lung disease like asthma, bronchitis, and more. The study also found that people who used both cigarettes and ecigarettes are the highest risk of developing chronic lung disease. Before i speak further, i want to really give thanks to supervisor walton and former supervisor cohen, for their work in fighting big tobacco. I think that your work has, and will continue, to save lives in San Francisco. But my interest now with the legalization of marijuana, the use of ecigarettes still increasing nationally, on top of the continued use of tobacco cigarettes is the impact of the second hand smoke for all of these substances. Secondhand smoke exposure has skyrocketed over the last two years according to the California Department of public health. There has been an 80 86 increase in secondhand marijuana exposure. And 67 increase in secondhand vape exposure. And over 50 of the californians are still exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke. So why should we care about impact of Secondhand Smoke . Cancer, lung disease, harm to the brain, and heart functions. And these impacts are even more troubling when the victims are our children. Secondhand smoke causes lung disease, including lung cancer. Secondhand smoke from cigarettes can also cause heart disease. Children with asthma who are exposed to secondhand tobacco smoke can have more frequent and more severe as mama attacks. Asthma attacks. Secondhand vape contains high concentrations of fine particles, breathing in these particles can worsen respiratory illness asthma and lung tissue. Secondhand vape contains chemicals like formaldehyde and nickel. Cancer causing chemicals like cadmacademca cad and chromium. I recently heard from the residents from my own district asking me to investigate further what the city is doing and how we can do better to provide relief for them. When it comes to being exposed to Secondhand Smoke. Ive also heard doctors pleading for the city to act, because the patients are suffering from being exposed involuntarily from Secondhand Smoke exposure in their own homes. And they lack the resources to be able to easily find and move into alternative housing. Such as seniors on fixed incomes and families trying to survive with limited income. We know only too well that big tobacco and corporate interests have profited for decades from seducing customers, especially our children and youth, into addictions through nicotine and other substances. We also know that this country acted too slowly to address this major health threat. I dont want i dont want that to be the case here in San Francisco if there is something we can do to address this issue. Colleagues, this is why i am calling for a hearing on impact of Secondhand Smoke and what the city is currently doing about it. Are we doing enough . Our residents who have few housing choices, are they able to avoid bearing the health risks that come from exposure to Secondhand Smoke . I am not looking forward to this hearing because i wish that we didnt have to be on watch for this, but the fact is, that we do actually watch for this. So the second hearing request, as you know, in San Francisco we were hit by some particularly wet weather this month. The weather on the weekend of december 7, we had what we call 150year storm. And experienced rain that exceeded an inch in an hour. The phrase 150year storm refers to the estimated probability of a storm event happening in any given year. 150year event has a 1 to 150 chance or less than 1 of occurring in any given year. In some areas of the city, the storm water drain system just wasnt able to keep up with the sidewalks, streets, homes and businesses were flooded. In the neighborhood, water flowed downhill collecting at the corner of 15th and warner. On that rain, in such a short amount of time, overwhelmed storm drains and brought up sewage. Over three feet of storm water and sewage flooded garages. The first floors of homes. Bottom floors and inlaw units and vehicles. And only homes the only homes spared were the ones that had properly placed sandbags. Something that not all residents know how to do. And may not even have the physical strength to do so. This flooding is devastating. Especially when we look at it in terms of the holiday. Instead of getting ready for the families and celebrations, residents are trying to deal with the raw sewage in flooded homes. Puc is aware that this area does not meet the city standard level of service for storm Water Management. And this area has been identified as puc as 1 in 4 prio
