Its and ordinance to amend the administrative code to establish the American Indian cultural district in the Mission District. Supervisor ye, this is supervisor pressson an preston d like to be added as a cosponsor. I know that supervisor peskin is having a hard time noting to speak. Supervisor peskin, im here. No, thats not what i said. What i said, if youre having a hard time trying to get on the roster, thats fine, but if you could note that you want to be on the roster to speak, please do that. I see that supervisor ronan may want to speak. Thats right. Thank you so much, president yee. I really appreciate everyone for hearing this item today. This legislation will establish the first ever American Indian cultural district in the city and county of San Francisco. For many years, American Indian culture and history in the San Francisco bay area has been jeopardized not only by racism that the community has had to contend with but by the cost of living, the lack of Affordable Housing and the lack of Community Space for cultural gatherings and events. They will provide a recognised home base for the Indian Community of sanfrancisco to ensure the contributions are not forgotten or overridden. The cultural district is in the Mission District in the deloris neighborhood that spanses districts 8 and 9 from sanchez to fulsome street. This region holds a unique concentration of historic events, cultural resources, services and gathering spaces that are of significant present and historical presence to the Indian American community in the San Francisco bay area. In light of the ongoing Public Health emergency facing or city, establishing the American Indian cultural district right now will provide critical funding to support coordination efforts that theyre connected necessary to navigate in crisis. In a few months as things return to normal, i plan to introduce an amendment to expand the boundaries of the cultural district beyond that is encompassed in this legislation. While theres Broad Community support for the boundaries of the cultural district, this would delay our incorporat abilo disperse funding. So we are bringing forward the proposed boundaries to provide the cultural district with resources as quickly as possible. I want to call out the Incredible Community leaders from the American Indian community who have worked so hard on this, together with my incredible legislative aid, paul monhay. I think this was his first piece of legislation in my office and i know its become extremely important to him. I cant thank you enough, paul, for all of your work. I do want to say that during yesterdays committee meeting, for some reason there was about eight people from the community waiting to give Public Comment and it didnt work so we can figure that out and troubleshoot that later. But i want to call out a few of the key leaders who have been working with us on this and really give me the extreme privilege of being able to carry this legislation on their behalf. Sharia sosap, april mcgillan and helen wakazoo from the Friendship House and a special thank you, as well, to julia sabori, our own city staff from the Mayors Office of housing and community development. I also want to thank all of my cosponsors. I think were getting close to unanimous support for this item and i thank you all for that. And thats all. Ok, thank you. Madam clerk, role call. role call . On item 12 supervisor peskin. Madam clerk, one moment while i access the calendar. As it regards to item 12, i would like to add my words to supervisor ronen, as the individual who worked for native tribes for many, many years, i would like to salute her and the native American Community for everything they are doing. This is something that has been a long time in coming and i really, really appreciate it on behalf of the lake pyuo tribe and to the native peoples in the northern end of this peninsula. Thank you so much. So then that would be peskin, aye . That would be an aye. Thank you. Supervisor preston. Aye. Supervisor ronen. Aye. Supervisor safaye. Aye. Supervisor stephanie. Aye. Supervisor walton. Aye. Supervisor ye. Aye. Supervisor fewer. Aye. Supervisor haney. Aye. Supervisor mandleman. Aye. Supervisor mar. Aye. There are 11 ayes.

Ok, thank you. Supervisor preston. Submit. Thank you. Supervisor ronen. Submit. Supervisor safaye. Thank you, madam clerk. I have two things to talk about today and the first is a resolution tharesolution i worke sfmta is the transit workers urging both party expose the pae agency to continue working together to prioritize muni safety and to develop additional policies that protect our operators during this time of crisis on the front lines, getting essential workers back and forth and other individuals around the city that need to be out during this time. I want to thank sfmta director jeff tumlin and roger morenko for working together. We came to an agreement this weekend to allow and made this public and were boarding only with the exception of seniors and other persons with disabilities that need access through the front door, telling operators to enforce social distancing and to limit the number of passengers per bus. The union and the leadership will continue to Work Together to allow more operator discretion in these times during this crisis and thankfully, this stimulus package that came down will be a big benefit to allowing muni to continue and our local bar to continue. So this resolution is introduced today with the full support of the union and i hope my colleagues will support it. The second thing i wanted to talk about was ive asked all of the representatives from the major delivery apps doing work and business with our restaurants to continue our restaurants to keep going. Theres been some concern about the cost of fees and commissions during this time. Weve asked all of those parties to come together so that we can be in a room and work on solutions. So that while revenue has dropped for these restaurants, theyre continuing to feed people that are continuing to feed our community and keep people to work and we have to ensure that the fees theyre being charged are not so astronomical and that is a driver and not allowing them to stay in business. Is many of them have already offered waiving of commission completely for new businesses that sign up with their companies. We would like to explore what they intend to do with the existing businesses. Well continue that conversation. And the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor stephanie.
