Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Im a constituent in district three. We all know the science. We have less than 10 years to take Climate Action and this will be a major first step [indiscernible] prohibiting the natural gas in our buildings is important to me because im concerned about Climate Change. We need to do something about it right now. This is a crucial moment for Climate Change [indiscernible] Climate Solutions. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, im a resident of district three. I wanted to say thanks to supervisors mandelman and dean preston for all their hard work on this. Despite the loopholes [indiscernible] ready requirements is a loophole for Small Development approximates. I want us to continue the path this ordinance will put us on. Weve been waiting years for Climate Change action. Frankly, the experience of this process does not bode well for the challenge ahead of us. I applaud supervisor mandelman for doing so much of the heavy lifting and i hope other supervisors will step up. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Hello, im a constituent in district two. We all know the science and that the window is quickly closing for being able to do anything significant about Climate Change and global warming. We have [indiscernible] i own an old victorian home. [indiscernible] i even have some fixtures where there is a leak going up and used to be part of a gaslight. At the same time, an electrical fixture, where you can screw in a light bulb. We are at a [indiscernible] urgent than was the case 140 years ago. So i hope that the board will move on this without any carve outs and to move expeditiously. We have to begin to figure out ways of preserving the future for future generations before we all burn up. So i do want San Francisco to lead in this regard and task the allelectric reconstruction ordinance and get working on Climate Solutions right away. Thank you very much. Qulnchts thank you for your time. Next speaker, please. Youll clerk thank you for y time. Next speaker, please. Youll have two minutes. I want to commend San Francisco for passing this ordinance and the process of doing that. I think its important you understand the three safety issues of not going ahead with this. The first would be the effect of the Carbon Dioxide in the sphere. The natural gas is equal to the combustion of natural gas. By not doing this, were putting burning coal into the atmosphere. The second thing is the nitrogen dioxide from cooking is harmful to young asthma patients and we need to move away from that. The third is theres been explosions, one of which on your door shep [indiscernible] killed eight people. For safetys sake, please go ahead with this as soon as possible. We [indiscernible] thank you clerk i believe that was our last caller. Can you confirm if there are any more callers . Operator that was the last caller. Clerk mr. Chair. Chair madam clerk. Clerk that was our last caller. Chair i understand that. I believe that supervisor safai had a comment. Thank you, mr. Chair. Again, i just want to thank supervisor mandelman and his team for keeping us informed and the department of environment for staying on top of this in terms of getting information to us and answering all of our questions. The office of economic and Workforce Development for working with us. Im happy to say that the majority of the questions i had last week we have an answer or a path forward on. With regard to the Development Agreement, office of economic workforce and development is going to continue to work with the d. B. I. On their administrative bulletin. I think supervisor mandelman might have referenced that, but in terms of the impairment language and the process of implementation, i think we narrowed it down to essentially Treasure Island that had some of the most reservations. I think with the impairment language and working with d. B. I. And the impairment bulletins, were going to get there. I think the good news is a lot of the Horizontal Development has done, but there is still room for changes to the vertical development. So all the folks that called, i think that is one we can check off. I think were good. Im not asking for any amendments or adjustments. The second thing is the building trade adjustments. I know supervisor mandelman cares about that. I want to reiterate my support for there to be further conversations, working with the Building Trades and local 38 in particular. If theres way im happy to do. The one issue that is perplexing to me and it is on the conversation around transformers, i just know from practice over the years that i worked with the planning and the Building Department and those proposing developments, that they can have standoff and de y delay. [indiscernible] i want to continue to work on the issue. Im going to ask the committee to duplicate the file so we can work on that. I think that will be a continued, positive step because if we continue to work that out, it will capture more buildings and allow for buildings to be all electric in cases they might not be. The way i understand the issue is we cant just make a blanket statement which will allow for all buildings to transform in the public right of way. There has to be a review of the process. We intend for that to be the case. I would like to work with those. The last issue is a very, very small subset of what chair peskin said, in instances with restaurants and new construction. I understand the language that was put in that says someone can go through the process of appealing and asking for a waiver. Its just a process of how that plays out in real life. If you are intending to put in a waiver, it is financially infeasible and possibly technically infeasible after the fact if the lines are not there. Thats along thing were going to look at in our duplicated file so we can finalize those last ones. One will be the Climate Action club and wanting to see more buildings have more electric. That will be a positive step in dealing with the transformers. And the restaurant issue, i think because we created a process for a waiver, it has to be an actual and usable process for a waiver. I think theres more work to be done there. I would make a motion to duplicate the file. I dont know if i need a second for that. No, you dont. You can do that as a matter of right, as a member of this committee, supervisor. Correct. And in the convening week, i will work on both issues, but certainly the restaurant issue because i think that is something that can be worked on more quickly. We have made progress since this was introduced in june. I know its been awkward about since last year, but it was definitely introduced in june. Youre beating my timeline in terms of when supervisor peskin worked on the inclusionary housing and how much time it took from the beginning of the spring all the way to thanksgiving. This has gone at a very accelerated pace. I believe and agree that our Environmental Crisis demands that we do that. Its just these last two issus. S chair thank you, supervisor. Let me just start by thanking you for all the work that has gone into this clearly. Everyone mentioned, particularly the environmental advocates who have held all of our collective feet to the fire, appropriately so, in trying to push things forwa forward, particularly what weve heard about from the Chinese Chamber and Building Trades. There is a collective hearing from colleagues and shared by our other colleagues on the board to seriously engage around the Just Transition issues around this legislation moves forward. Supervisor mandelman, through the chair, thank you for your work on this over what i think has been about a year balancing the interests. There is an urgent impact in terms of the overall emissions, household and Family Health and safety. I would like to be added as a cosponsor and i would like to move this item to the full board with recommendation. Clerk thank you, supervisor. Ms. Rafael from the department of the environment, i would like you to speak to the legislation in general and the amendments that you have heard this afternoon. The floor is yours. Chair where are you . I see myself but not on the screen. Thats a background in san pablo bay. Chair i thought your office was getting better. I didnt realize that was my background. Im not speaking from there, but my home office. Im very grateful. The issues raised are important and fair. We cannot supervisor peskin, you brought this up in the very first hearing that is critical for our society. I feel like the department of building inspection and all the other city Agency Agencies willn this. I am committed to working with everyone and excited to get going. Thank you for this opportunity. Chair thank you, ms. Rafael. Do you do that in conjunction with the office of economic and Workforce Development or do you have that function within your department . We work very closely with joaquin tores and the office of development. We will be working with them to get developers ready to comply with this ordinance and to understand the legalities of their compliance, what those issues are. And of course we work very closely with them on labor and Workforce Development as well. One of the benefits of this ordinance is the opportunity for green jobs and to support retraining of folks and new training of folks to benefit from the green economy. Chair ms. Rafael earlier the chief sponsor supervisor mandelman spoke to that exact concept as it relates to recycled water that has proven very successful in other communities. It may or may not be a good fit for San Francisco given how old it is. Any comments on that . That would be speaking out of my expertise range. My colleagues in the p. U. C. Are much more knowledgeable than that. Clearly the concept of recycled water and using as much Water Resources outside of our groundwater is attractive and important. The feasibility of it is. I dont have the expertise to comment on it. Chair thank you, ms. Rafael. Supervisor safai, would you like to make a motion to continue the duplicated file to the call of the chair as you work on the mentioned amendments that you are working on . I would, mr. Chair, but can we make it continued to next week because i believe ill have it continued to then. Chair absolutely. If you make a motion to duplicate the file to november the 2nd. So moved. Chair madam clerk, on that motion, a roll call. [ roll call ] chair then i believe that supervisor preston made a motion to move this file that was amended, which amendments were substantive a week ago, and i will add there may be some amendments at the full board that would not be substantive that sponsor mandelman and cosponsor preston are working on. On that motion made by supervisor preston, send this item as previously amended with recommendation and the understanding that there could be more substantive changes at the full board. On that motion, a roll call. Can we clarify this amendment . There is no amendment. The item was amended a week ago. There were no amendments made or offered today. I was merely saying for the record to all that are listening and i could drill down into this a little bit. Supervisor mandelman and i have significant conversations today about the board of examiners, which appellate body has met two times in the next three years. We may only go to the board appeals. Those things could happen at the full board next week. They are nonsubstantive in nature. I was saying to the public that there may be some amendments that are forthcoming. But your motion to move this to the full board with recommendation is before us on that motion. Madam clerk, a roll call. [ roll call ]]. Chair next item, please clerk item 2 is an ordinance amending the administrative code to require sellers of multifamily residential buildings to provide a new right of first offer and right of first refusal to qualified nonprofit organizations if a multifamily residential building is not under contract or remains unsold after one year and after each year thereafter; require sellers to provide additional disclosures to qualified nonprofit organizations; provide information to current tenants, and assist qualified nonprofits with due diligence; and allow multifamily residential buildings acquired by qualified nonprofit organizations under the Community Opportunity to purchase act. Members of the public should call the number streaming on the screen, 4156550001, and use access code 146 347 8588. Press pound and pound again. Mr. Chair. Chair supervisor fewer, the floor is yours. We continued this as amended to todays meeting. If you have any comments, the floor is yours. Thank you. Supervisor fewer is not able to be here today. I am the legislative aide to supervisor fewer. Good afternoon, supervisors. Thank you for having me. As you just mentioned, chair peskin, at last weeks hearing supervisor fewer spoke about the purpose of this legislation and thanked all of our Community Partners and cosponsors for all of their support on this. As you all know, the Community Opportunity to purchase act has helped our qualified nonprofits purchase apartment buildings that are at risk of losing their affordability and preserve them as permanent affordable housing. This prevents the displacement of vulnerable tenants. I want to reiterate what this legislation before you today does to enhance copa. This is really based on the experience from our nonprofits on the ground over the past year. This legislation will make it easier for qualified nonprofits to decide whether to make an offer on a building by requiring the seller to provide them with more complete disclosures, provide more engagement with tenants by requiring sellers to provide an information sheet about copa. Add clarifying language to further prevent offmarket sales, will prevent megalandlords from dumping dozens of buildings on the market at the same time and overwhelming qualified nonprofits as a result. This will require sellers to renotify qualified nonprofits and provide them a new opportunity to purchase the building if it remains on the market after one year. Also its going to allow qualified nonprofits the option to convert rental buildings to coops that comply with the restrictions. And thanks for the amendments accepted last week. I will also exempt land dedications made to the city as part of a Development Agreement for the purpose of building new affordable housing. Thank you so much for your support of this amendment last week. I would also like to thank the other supervisors for cosponsoring this piece of legislation. Supervisor fewer and i would respectfully ask for this committees positive recommendation to a full board of the Committee Report. Thank you so much, chair peskin. Chair thank you. I would like to be added as a cospons cosponsor. Are there any members of the committee who would like to comment on this item . Seeing none, is there any Public Comment on this item number two . Clerk we are checking to see if we have any callers in the queue. Can you let us know if there are any callers ready to speak. If you have not done so, press star three to be added to the queue and we will unmute your line. Operator there are zero callers in the queue. Chair Public Comment is now closed and i would like to make a motion to send this item as a Committee Report with recommendation. On that, a roll call, please. [ roll call ] clerk you have three ayes. Chair madam clerk, is there any further business before this committee . Clerk no further business. Chair we are adjourned. Thank you. Snl flsh all right, welcome, everyone. [applause] today is the day, dr. Colfax. Today is the day. Its the day that our kids get back to the Serious Business of play, and so im thrilled to be here with our mayor, supervisor safai and our director of Public Health, and Many Community leaders and wonderful people to celebrate the reopening of playgrounds all across the city starting right now. We are here at mersed heights, so were not just opening up the gates to playgrounds but were also cutting ribbons on five amazing playgrounds that have just been waiting for children that have been renovated through the lets play s. F. Initiative, which is is an incredible partnership between the recreation and the Park Department and the Parks Alliance, San Francisco voters who support park bonds, and through lets play s. F. Were actually transforming 13 playgrounds that have been loved to death across our city and to creative places that spark imagination, connection, and Healthy Bodies and minds. So without further adieu it is my great pleasure to introduce our parks championinchief who has been a great nudge to make this happen. Thank you, mayor. Thank you. And thank you, phil, and thank you to all of the families in San Francisco for your understanding and your patience as we deal with a very, very challenging time, one that none of us could have ever predicted. And im so excited to be here at mersed heights because i know how hard this community worked to get this park to be a priority. For so many years i see mary harris over there shaking her head hard. For so many years, and a lot of the people in this community, they have been fighting to ma
