Is so clear and i have known about you since my under graduate days of stanford when we were fighting for your 10year at stanford. I appreciate all you have done. Given all your accomplishments and the demand for your service, i guess my next question is do you have time for this . I sure do. Ive been told by a couple of former members of the commission how much work it is and ive been told the version where you can do the minimalist version but you can do the meaningful version and thats what i choose to do. I pledge to you that i will devote a massive amount of time on this because i want what i believe you want. I want there to be change so that the types of incidents that weve seen are minimized or eliminated for heavens sake if we can, and thats what im pledge to go do and i know how much work its going to take and im ready to work at that time and roll up my sleeve and get under the hood and do the work. My final question. If there was a concrete or specific issue area you could work on as commissioner knowing you cannot tackle everything, what would that be . Well, it would be deescalation train and i talked about it a little bit yesterday. I think that theres the crisis intervention training is perhaps the most potentially meaningful approach. And im not sure if supervisor breed i dont think that i endorse tasers. What i questioned, i thought i questioned the viewing tasers as a pen in a sierra. Youre right. We need to have a longer conversation. You specifically say in the case of a knife willeding individual, its appropriate to use tasers. If a department used tasers, thats the only time well use it. But im not authorizing a department should authority tasers. Im sorry if i made that unclear to you. I was talking the context if tasers were adopted because that was one of the recommendations in a cops report. As a commissioner you would have the ability to make the decision, what decision would you make based on what the recommendations have been . I think that particular one would be unwise. So just let me rephrase it. Are you supportive of tasers or opposed to tasers . Im opposed to them. Can you clarify for me injure statement that implies it would be appropriate to use it in that particular case. That if tasers are for some reason adopted by any Police Department, they should be limited and i said this. It should be limited. Speaker youre saying youre not one of the commissioners to support adopting that . Thats right. I want thank you for that clarify. Im speaking hypothetically if it were adopted but im not supportive of them. Supervisor kim, i apologize. I wanted to get clarify. That was my last question. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor cohen. Were going to call the other candidates up as well. I just i was looking around the room and i was seeing where we were headed with the votes and because of that, it looked like professor hing is likely to be approved as our Police Commissioner. I didnt have the opportunity to him him speak so i wanted to ask the questions before we moved forward. I feel we have three strong candidates and you know, my leaning towards professor hing is because im most intimate around your body of work. If i was to support the original report out of the rules committee, my main concern is around your Time Commitment and your particular and interest in the Police Commission verses a whole variety of other work that we all deeply care about. And so i wanted to hear him speak on those comments today on those questions and concerns. Thank you supervisor. Supervisor cohen. Theres a couple of things i wanted to talk about. You mentioned terms and i wanted to share some commission. The commission is made up of seven seat and three are appointed by the board of supervisors through the rules process and appointed by the mayor. The next seat that will be available and im not advocating this is a point of information is jesus, his suit will expire april 30th, 2017, and then the next seat to for expiration is dr. Joe marshal which is a mayor nominee and hell expire on april 30, 2018, 2017. Dr. Marshal, 2008 and also sonyia so theres two mayor appointees i agree that the candidate was phenomenal and thoughtful. It sounds like the way the conversation is going, because people are more familiar and knowledgeable and have more comfort ability they would rather be with someone that theyre more familiar with. I i think for me its about clear distinction between abacademic verses a practitioner. 40 years is a phenomenal amount of times but i have been doing this for 6 years and i havent seen that connection. And i am still uncomfortable with supporting someone that hasnt taken the time to attend a meeting. Theyve spent time being involved verses rolling their sleeves and getting involved. Thank you. Thank you supervisor cohen. Supervisor cohen. Campos. Im not going we should move forward and vote. I think there are differences of opinion on which happened today, but i think we should vote and i think that we should act today. I actually think the mistakes the mayor made with respect to the Police Department is how slow they have been to move things forward including this election of a chief. I dont think a board should make that mistake and whatever way you know, it comes down, lets take action. I think we have you know, greatly qualified people and i dont think were going to go wrong either way. Thank you. Thank you supervisor campos. No other name oz the roster. Madam clerk on the motion, call the roll. On the motion to strike bill hing and amend with john, supervisor tang. No. Speaker supervisor yee. No. Supervisor avalos. Aye. Supervise he breed. Aye.

There are four eyes and seven nos with supervisors and six nos with supervisors tang, yee, campos, farrell, kim and mar in the descent. The motion fails. Supervisor mar. I like to make the motion we appoint professor hing to the Police Commission, term ended april 30, 2018. Theres no need to make a motion since its already on the agenda. But it felt good to say. Let me just, you know, say seeing no other names on the roster, you know, im just not there yet. I, again, am i really appreciate the comments of supervisor campos. Im not necessarily opposed, but im not at a place at this time with the information i have to feel comfortable enough to support this decision and you know, i look forward to the opportunity to get to know professor hing and to understand him a lot more, but i just dont feel comfortable. This is a really important seat, and i want to feel good about the decision and im just not there. Theres a possibility that i could get there eventually, but im not there today, so unfortunately i wont be able to support this item. And seeing no other names on the roster, madam clerk, on the item, please call the roll. Supervisor tang. Speaker aye. Supervisor yee. Aye. Supervisor avalos. Aye. Breed. Good no. Supervisor campos. Aye. Supervisor cohen. No. Speaker supervisor farrell. Aye. Supervisor kim. Speaker aye. Supervisor mar. Aye. Supervisor peskin. Aye. There are 8 aye and two nos with supervisor breed and cohen in the descent. The motion is approved. Congratulations professor. With that mad am clerk, lets go to the next item. 65 is to appoint four members to the immigrant rights. This has a new title and the names being ryan and diamond and michelle wong. Supervisor mar. I wanted to congratulate the two new members and the reappointment of two returning members. As adrian pond and the staff came to the rules committee i wanted to say my conversation with former supervisor tang as the immigrants Rights Movement created this immigrant Rights Commission that at this point in history, these two new members plus two reappointed members are going to have tremendous challenges as the federal government and others attack immigrants and i hope the immigrant Rights Commission live up to their vision as we created 20 years ago in 199697 and im very pleased with the energy and the passion from a number of the people on the commission and i hope it moves forward, similar when bill hing was the president of the i urge support. Madam clerk on the item, call the roll. Supervisor tang. Aye. Supervisor yee. Speaker aye. Supervisor avalos. Aye. Supervisor breed. Speaker aye. Supervisor campos. Speaker aye. Supervisor cohen. Speaker aye. Supervisor farrell. Aye. Supervisor kim. Aye. Supervisor mar. Aye. Supervisor peskin. Aye. There are 10 ayes and the motion is approved unanimously. Speaker madam call, role call for introduction. Continuing introduce new business. Speaker i have two items today and i do want to also join supervisor yee later as he speaks on an i am more yum. Im introduced legislation regarding changes accommodations, diaper changes accommodations in our restroom and you may think why we need to change legislation. I believe by doing this im trying to take steps to address a gender stereotype when it comes to childcare. If you notice and look around, most of these changing station was located in the womens restrooms. We expect that women are to change diapers. Were modeling off a legislation passed by president obama by federal buildings and require that city buildings would need to install changing accommodations in both female, male and all gender restrooms. When it comes to Public Places of accommodation, if you are a new building or going through a significant renovation of 50,000 or more, youll be required to have the accommodations in all three types of restrooms and if youre an existing building, then we are asking that if you already provide a changing station in the womens restroom you do the same in the mens or an all gender restroom. Those are the three different situations. And again, this legislation is really more than about providing a sanitary and convenient place for people to change diapers. Its really about breaking through gender stereotypes around childcare. The second is an amendment to our health code. Were prohibiting pet stores from selling dogs or cats not obtained from Animal Rescue or shelters and prohibiting the sale of kittens under 8 weeks old. This is model we currently do not have pet stores that sell dogs or cats from breeders. But we hope to continue this and encourage people to adopt animals from shelters or rescue organizations. And i want to join supervisor yee. Someone who i came to meet through the paw back organization which is the pacific Asian American women bay area coalition. I know her as auntie anita and she passed away in early december, but she was an incredible mentor to me, and always supportive of everything ive done since i was an intern to becoming a supervisor. I want to thank her for the guidance she supplied women everywhere. I wish her friends with that i submit. Supervisor yee. First of all, i like to ill be listened as a cosponsor as your diaper changing table as a father who quickly learned how to change diapers and found nowhere to change when i had to. [inaudible]. I changed my babies diapers and thats a good call. So i like to offer my memorial to fong. I like to close in a different and long time resident in my district for her name, anita fong. Sadly she passed away on december 5th after rare autoimmune disease effecting asian women which ravished her muscles over a short time. She passed away at a young age of 63. I knew anita personally and she moved from San Francisco from hong kong when she was 7 years old. She attended the same Elementary School i did although i was 3 years her senior. She attended gene parker Elementary School and went to hoover junior high at the time it was called before going to uc berkeley where she received her bu. She attended San FranciscoState University where she received a master degree in social work and an nba from golden gate university. I believe im trying i have known her for so long and im trying to remember where i first met her and i think it was actually she was the first director for Children Services in 1976. So we cross paths right there. Anita, her career extends to many Different Things but she focused on her career on how to help those who were either in need or in less fortunate circumstances. She spent many years in various Public Health positions all around the bay area, spanning social marketing, advocacy, policy, planning, and health and Human Services and administration before entering before retiring in 2015 from the San Francisco department of Public Health due to impaired vision. She is perhaps best remembered by her Large Network of friends, mentees and she tried to make the lives of others better than it is. One of anita well known contribution as soup his veer tang mentioned in the community in the nonprofit world is serve ing on the board of directors which focused on the investment of young and mature women in both professional and personal lives and leadership development. In addition, anita generously used her fundraising skills and network to contribute to events held by the San Francisco department of Public Health, komochi and last but not least self help for the elderly. Anita was known for her love and dedication to her parent and devoted 25 years to caring for them in their home. Most recently, the joys of her life and the recipients of her generosity are her older brothers, and four grand children, bruce, jordan, iana and blake. I like to let everyone to take a moment of silence to acknowledge anita fong and her life of tireless and Compassionate Service to the betterment of others. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor yee. Thank you. Supervisor avalos. I have an introduce. Actually its like this big softball throwing it up in the air and you get to knock it and put your name on it and knock it out of the park. The first is its a 38 million deappropriation ordinance. And actually i wanted to do this because around balancing our budgets and extending services to new Homeless Services, i think we should have a bite at the apple at looking at what are things that we can deprioritize as this new priority is coming forward rather than just you know, taking money that was already set to be used for the purposes of city cause or street trees or other uses. This is a bite at the apple that the city could have. If our impasse continues, this could be a way to have some negotiations of how we might be able to move forward in a way to balance the budget. Of course, the controller could say much of the issue is for next years budget, but in case theres a need to want to negotiate anything its available. Thats my last thing on the budget for it may never come back again. Who knows. Theres Reentry Council clean up language. Since the meeting has been meeting for a number of years, theres a new seat added to the Reentry Council. It has to be done by ordinance. Its occupied by director of the department of housing and homelessness in supportive housing. This is a seat for jeff gaziski and we need an ordinance to offer the seat. It has my name on it, but someone else can pick it up. I have another ordinance around the planning code ordinance that is dealing with putting a cap and limits on the number of on unauthorized units that can be added to a parcel or a lot. It also has prohibitions on demo demolishing of Single Family homes given where the cities at in terms of many units that arent necessarily permitted. Its important to put protections in place. Thats available for colleagues to pick up. You have to take my name off it and that could be a home run hit. I have two items for the imperative agenda. One is for paul who has been running an auto service in the excel district for 70 years. Hes opened his service up in 1946 and he does tire and ive got my cars my tires done there 10 or 15 times and this is actually really interesting because its my last Board Meeting and this resolution for paul day which is january 1st, 2017, is the only thing ive gotten from jerald san da sal. I have a resolution and i want to thank him for it because apologies, hes a great man. Heeds been running this business forever. Longer than the 49 im happy to have put that for the imperative calendar. Also what we have and were moving forward because there could we had take immediate action to protect tenant and its the last meeting we have and the issue came up well before well after the agenda was written. And that is after the ghost ship fire and tragedy which i think many of us are still shaken up reeling. There have been a lot of fire marshals that have been over zealous in addressing Warehouse Space and artist space and work space and thats happening in San Francisco as well. And already, the city through the department of building inspection and the Entertainment Commission and the Fire Department, and the Work Force Development and the Arts Commission have been coming together to address how we can move forward on making sure that Warehouse Space is safe, and also that were protecting tenants so we want to actually dip prevent displacement as much as possible, but we want to make sure these types of tragic events dont happen and so we want to the resolution is really calling upon the city to do just that and if i could read the main parts of the resolution. I wont have to read it in the future. So the resolve cause is the board of supervisors the city of county of San Francisco finds that unauthorized work spaces and venues that operates safely are and be fu
