I was in manila in november 1996 when they were holding the apex summit there. And i recall everywhere i turned where bus ads and billboards that read apex 2000. The Philippine Government promised that would bring prosperity and industrialization to the country. But indigenous farmers and workers who were at the front line of the protest knew better. They protested because they knew that the apec agenda would be devastating to their land and livelihood. And fast forward 22 years later, the philippine market has been flooded by foreign rice imports, which local farmers cannot compete with. Nor can a majority of filipinos afford, thereby threatening the nations Food Security and sovereignty. Apex is not about sustainability or shared prosperity. There will be no unions or farmers or indigenous representatives at the apec summit. It will be all the heads of state and billionaire ceos who are there to increase their profits. Bongbong marcos, the son of the late dictator marcos, will be there to sell out the philippines to the highest bidder. How the seniors, immigrants and Small Businesses in the south of market are being treated right now is emblematic of what the summit is really about, which is exclusion, elitism and corporate wealth. Our seniors and communities are being asked to sacrifice because apec will bring prosperity to the city. We know better. The last decade has seen the biggest tech boom, the city budget balloon and the creation of so many billionaires. And also the biggest wealth gap in economic disparity in the city, and especially south of market. Lets not repeat the same mistakes. And that think that the big corporate titans will lead the way to a sustainable economy. I also want to submit for the record a letter signed by 14 Market Community organizations, including soma child care center, childrens Creativity Museum and senior disability action, all of us are very concerned about the impact on our communities and clients of the week of apec. Thank you for your comments. Well collect that from you. Good to see you. Raquel next speaker, please. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is steve leeds, a resident of district seven and a member of the west side tenants association. In i urge you to send a strong message to the mayor and administration by voting unanimously for the apec resolution. Apec will impact the whole city and most of all, those residents and Small Businesses in soma, chinatown, the tenderloin and other neighborhoods which includes some of our most vulnerable residents. It will be disruptive to seniors, the disabled and working people getting to their jobs or supervisors. How many events have you heard of this type that ultimately benefit their location . In how many not super bowls, not olympics, not other large scale events . These type of events leave communities cleaning up the mess and a long Recovery Period during apec, multinationals, billionaires and heads of state will meet and develop and implement trade policies that harm people throughout the world. Those policies are the same as harmful trade policies of the past, such as the tpp. Similar to nafta, which benefit the wealthiest corporations in our workers rights and the race environmental protections. These neoliberal policies will promote deeper inequality, which we see right here in San Francisco and the us, and especially in the countries of the global south with said facing a budget shortfall, not one penny, not one penny, not 10 billion of taxpayers money should be spent on an event that will cause so much pain and havoc. The money should go for alleviating the pain that residents and Small Businesses face because of apec. San francisco has a history of promoting human rights. Birth of the un, promoting workers rights and protecting our immigrant communities as a sanctuary city. We as residents have a right to protest at apec and express our opinions without intimidation and over policing. Again, i strongly urge you to unanimously support this resolution. Apec wont thank you for your comments. It will be a disaster. Thank you for your comments. Any other speakers in the Public Chamber who would like to address the board . All right, mr. President , Public Comment is now closed. Madam clerk, could you please read the adoption without Committee Reference calendar . Yes.

I supervisor chan i chan i supervisor Dorsey Dorsey i supervisor engardio i engardio i supervisor mandelman i mandelman i supervisor melgar i melgar i supervisor peskin i peskin i and supervisor Preston Preston i. There are 11 eyes those resolutions are adopted and motions approved. Madam clerk, could you please read item 28 . Item 28 is a resolution urging the mayor and city agencies to inform residents and vulnerable communities of security, transportation and Service Impacts from Asia Pacific Economic cooperation activity to prioritize city funding towards mitigation of impacts on neighborhood us Small Businesses and vulnerable communities, and to protect peoples rights to freedom of speech and uphold city sanctuary policies. Supervisor chan thank you, president peskin and first, i want to thank all the Public Commenter today for coming out, especially actually our seniors and our seniors who are monolingual. I know its not an easy track for them to come out here into city hall and make Public Comment in person. So for that, im very grateful and want to express my gratitude for them to come out and spoke and colleagues, i think that we heard from folks that are laborers, workers. We really heard from many different people. Thats also including you see the letter support from many different chambers of commerce that representing Small Business owners of color in San Francisco. And then we also have heard from activist as well as our seniors and also our young people. I think that there are many have a wide range of views about how they view apac itself as a event. Some expressed that they support the event itself, some actually do not. And do not wish to be here. Have it to be here, but also understand the fact that when it is that gives them the opportunity to protest and with that said, though, i just wanted to really for you to look at this resolution with one thing that really brought everyone with these diverse point of view and political view together is that this is a resolution to support our local communities and the communities that were impacted by this summit itself. It is no matter where you are in this political spectrum when it comes to asian Pacific Economic coop asian summit, what it is, is that this is for san franciscans. This resolution is about san franciscans and supporting especially the most vulnerable ones, our seniors, our tenants with disabilities. That will end up being tracked by the exclusion zone and our Small Businesses that already been suffering during pandemic. It is a way for us to support them. I just also want to remind colleagues that, you know, this actually do and will come with teeth at some point. The mayor during the budget process has put 10 million on reserve and also with your support that we together as a body also put that very same 10 million on reserve. So that means that it will require us as this body imagery city to vote to allocate that 10 million reserve for appropriate allocation. So with that, with your support and i look forward to your unanimous support today that also speak in volume that you know that we are here to support our local communities. And so thank you for your cosponsorship. Supervisor walton. Thank you, president peskin. I just thought i was already added at a cosponsor, but i wanted to be added as a cosponsor. Supervisor safai. Thank you. Mr. President. Thank you, supervisor chan, for putting this resolution forward. Definitely want to be added as a co sponsor. I thought i was already but just want to point out one of the lines specifically about workers weve been in. Ive had numerous conversations with our 911 call operators for the first time. They are being required as part of this emergency mobilization to do mandatory overtime. That is something that has not been done already to a department that is extremely understaffed department that is not meeting its goals in terms of 911 calls. So one of the things that i wanted to highlight, and its already kind of referenced in this resolution, it talks about workers, Small Business owners and others. I really appreciate you coming out and speaking about it. Those that are trying to get to their jobs as frontline workers and the hotel oil and Service Sector industry extremely important, but wanted to highlight that there is something to be said about this particular operation in the department of emergency management. The importance it plays, and that this is a precedent setting request on behalf of the department of emergency management. So i want to highlight the necessity to look for ways to compensate them. Not exactly sure that the proposals that have been put forward by the city meet the standards that were looking for. Weve heard things like theyre bringing people out of retirement that are aged 75 or older, asking them to work extremely long shifts. So again, as we go into asking for this money off of reserve, i just want to highlight that we have to have a real just and fair compensation package and approach to our 911 call operators and the role that they play and the role that they will play in the importance of the coming weeks, particularly during this conference. Thank you. Supervisor dorsey. Thank you, president peskin. I just wanted to express my appreciation to supervisor chan for her leadership on this and i was happy to join as a co sponsor at the beginning of the meeting this is something that is important to a lot of the businesses and residents in my district representing soma, and i really appreciate that. The point that supervisor chan made that wherever you are on this, this is really about making sure that our neighborhoods and local businesses are taken care of. In many ways, this is a were a little bit in Uncharted Waters because this is a National Special security event along the lines of an inauguration. I dont know that we have had Something Like this perhaps since the un charter. I think its one of those kinds of global things. I hope that on november 18th, were all saying, oh, that was great. We all everybody made money and it was all great, but we dont know. And i think this this resolution does a good job of providing assurance to our communities that the board of supervisors is going to be there looking out for them and doing everything we can to urge that there will not be harms suffered unduly to residents or businesses. Thanks, supervisor melgar. I just wanted to be added as a cosponsor. Thank you. All right, so colleagues, i think we can take that same house. Mr. President , supervisor walton is not in the chamber. Good. I. Same house, same call. The resolution is adopted. Madam clerk, could you please read item 29 . Item 29 resolution to express support for the soma pilipinas gateway design and Gateway Construction at the intersection of folsom and rush streets, and to urge the San FranciscoArts Commission and the department of public works to work closely with the Planning Department and the soma pilipinas to build and own the gateway supervisor. Dorsey thank you, president peskin colleagues. This was the result motion i announced at roll call last week and after receiving further input from community stakeholders, id like to ask that this resolution be sent to committee for further discussion and public input with a possible amendments to come. Its my understanding no motion is necessary, but i really just want to express my appreciation to everyones forbearance for a cultural icon that will celebrate our Filipino Community and the rich Cultural Heritage of the south of market neighborhood. Thanks supervisor sapphire. Your name is on the roster. Do you want to please add me as a cosponsor . Supervisor sapphire shall be added as a cosponsor to item 29, which shall be sent to committee. Madam clerk, would you please read the immemorial. Mr. President , i have no items to a report. Wow. We are adjourned. My name is Alex Sinclair of willow on the green in San Francisco. We are the only british tea shop on the west coast and focused on high quality luxury goods from the u. K. And we have teas and baked goods. We came up with the name because willow is made with baskets and the parklett, a willow green and that is a picnic in the park. I have come up with the idea because i have lived in the neighborhood for a year. Seven years ago we had a tea shop. During covid we needed to have a new flavor and rejuvenate the business. We are between two beautiful businesses. I realized with the shop opening next to the bakery, we had a beautiful tea shop in the area. We started with british teas and want to support local tea makers in the local area. And once you have cheese and biscuits need tea and jam and lemon curd and chocolate and all of these parts basically imported from the u. K. Our most popular products come from wales. Its an extra cheddar and next popular product is a jam made with alpine strawberry. So you get a taste of a nice strawberry. This is about supporting cheese makers and business in the area and womenowned businesses around the world and always want to support the community. We support concerts, we support charities and come to the aid to those in need such as the British Society and the San Francisco society and the if you have never had british cheese, i recommend you come in on weekend. All of our staff are highly knowledgeable of all of our products and we are really passionate about what we do here and gives you a chance to explore our culture and food and our values. I encourage you to come to the inner sunset with a beautiful park to be young and academy of sciences here. Come to the shop.
