Its nice to see everyone back in bright eyed and ready to go. Today on item number eight, a dyslexic moment to thank supervisor christiansen as well as supervisor farrell for working collaboratively on this piece of legislation as well as the npa in dpw for working with our office to refine and develop the necessary application forms for contractors. Last year you may recall, all three of us heard for many of our constituents were frustrated with confusing overburdened some bringing up spring up all around various construction sites in various neighbors. In some instances, entire blocks, entire blocks of parking reserved a 24 seven days a week even with construction work wasnt occurring. Its left the entire portion of the neighborhood offlimits to residents who need to park overnight. Or individuals working to patronize a bird commercial corridors. Most most of central San Francisco north main that dismisses are starting to feel or continuing to feel the pinch. We on the to share this limited parking resources get so i am an enthusiastic supporter because i think the legislation strikes strikes the right balance facilitating construction also requiring contractors to be a little bit more thoughtful in specific about what exactly the parking needs are going to be. So this legislation also increases transparency but neighbors. By requiring the development of a contractor parking plan for these larger projects, the neighbors can hold contractors accountable and can also do a better job the better contractors can do a better job of planning for parking lot. So, colleagues, i would like to ask for your support on this legislation. Read my colleague supervisor mark farrell also is wonderful, stu share thank you. Supervisor farrell thank you. Colleagues, thank you take you supervisor cohen for cosponsorship. Construction is booming in our city and having a significant quality of life for all of our residents, ive heard complaints for years now from residents every day frustrated by the amount of neighborhood Parking Spaces that are being taken away by construction parking permits. This is especially we can all relate to and parking remains vacant for days of time and are not used. With over 250 permits obtained per week and close to 13,000 issued on a yearly basis of the city, ideally we can be more proactive in leading our residents know that the impacts are going to be happening to them in their neighborhoods. Given these frustrations at agree with supervisor comics and a cosponsor christiansen, wiener i want to thank supervisor kim as well. To introduce this construction parking plan legislation a few months ago. This plan will mandate a construction parking permit plan is a condition to receiving and any temporary street space occupancy permit for conceptual work that request more than one parking space over the course of three or more months. It also mandates permit on street Parking Spaces that are not used or occupied 4 pm on any given day shall be go to her residence of the public for use. This plan will be made proactively available to members of the public in the available on dpws website. The ordinance face many construction parking plan prerequisite to receiving his parking space permits for construction and zones. The components of the construction parking plan will include, among others, the number of Parking Spaces and the rationale, the average number of employees participated on site each day, the timeline and phasing of the project in requirement of an update from the contract at the midpoint of the construction project, whether its feasible to use offsite parking such is parking garages, and a proposal for how the contractor is going to be implement the 4 pm parking plan. In committee we also added additional Zoning Districts to mitigate the impact felt in neighborhood commercial districts for residents and Small Business and lastly include fees to ensure this legislation we properly enforced art in our neighborhoods. I do believe this is simple and straightforward and will alleviate a significant qualityoflife issue that exists are neighborhoods to i ask for your support. Thank you supervisor farrell collies can we take this item same housing call . Without objection, the ordinance passes unanimously on the First Reading [gavel] madam clerk read the next item please item 9 ordinance to amend the planning code to allow access or use of entertainment with limited Live Performance permits in the west and south of market mixed use general and regional commercial district. And to affirm the planet apartments determination and make the appropriate findings s supervisor kim thank you. Is legislation would expand a limited live permit usage into the neighborhood commercial corridor work of the rest of the city. As colleagues may remember, we delayed the implementation of limited live permits in the western south plan is the plan came forward that this program did. Many of the members of the task force had asked us to delay implementation until we see how this played out in other neighborhoods. The limited live permit program has been fairly successful throughout the city with very very few neighborhood and resident complaints, and so given the large number of entertaining use was already in the south of market were some concerns about allowing for more limited live permits. Being that has been successful in allowing smallscale djs, songwriters, open mics brought the city, the neighborhood is comfortable with expanding this now into the western summit plan so colleagues i ask for your support and one recognize and thank the Entertainment Commission many of our smoke businesses for the work and participation in this process.

My apologies. I today have come for couple days him and asked for your support when the transparent pleasing ordinance which is ordinance will be beneficial to all of san franciscans but especially to those in the Minority Community as well as those both the Sheriffs Department as well as the Police Department. Just briefly to orient you, the ordinance is reflective of the moment weve seen across the entire country over the last year. It reflects recommendations from pres. Obamas 21st Century Policing task force, which produced a report with a number of improvements that cities should make to improve Police Relations with the community. This ordinance would require the sheriff as well as the Police Department to collect data on race, gender, and to be collected during traffic stops and anytime either department either the government or Sheriffs Department, detains, stops, for questioning or searches in individual. This ordinance requires each department not only to collect this information but also to analyze and report it on a quarterly basis back to the board of supervisors and the Mayors Office as well as the Human Rights Commission. Also to the police commission. The three areas of concern that this ordinance is focused on are the prevention of pretextual stops based on race and pretextual stops based on gender related characteristics, and also, the use of force where it is unwarranted. Over the last year, we have all seen a number of horrific events where Police Officers have either killed or seriously injured young thusly africanamerican or other minority men and right here in San Francisco, africanamerican men arrested at a rate more than two times many caucasian residents. Studies have also shown transgender people across the us experience unprecedented levels of Police Violence at higher rates than on transgender individuals. So, it was a study that was released in 2015 by the National Coalition of antiviolence programs that show that transgendered women experience Police Brutality and rate of five point times greater than nontransgender individuals. For transwomen of color, the numbers 6. 2 times higher. Colleagues, in the past the ordinance the goal that we have outlined our that were trying to achieve is to reduce unintentional disproportion numbers of detentions, arrests and targeting minorities of the Transgender Community. Also, we like to introduce an additional level of transparency and oversight onto the Police Department as well as the Sheriffs Department as we begin to rebuild the trust that the community has hadthat the community has lost, and our lawenforcement department by making this Information Available to the public for review and by requiring quarterly reports to the Language Access<\/a> Services Program<\/a> by authorizing the office of the clerk of the board to enter into an abortive partnership with the office of Civic Engagement<\/a> and immigrant affairs. For an 11 Month Pilot Program<\/a> beginning september 1, 2015 and lasting through july 31, 2015. During that time, the staff will provide spanish and Chinese Interpretation Services<\/a> upon request and every regular and special board of supervisors meeting.

In working with the advocacy groups and the Transgender Community<\/a> they felt that requiring officers to request an individuals gender identity during an encounter would place transgendered individuals and increase risk for discrimination and a restaurant or worse violence. So there are several moments of going to read him into the record. The first was has to do with an incremental implementation period. On page 3, line 16, we changed the collection of data to be based on individuals actual race and not perception or observation. I want to thank supervisor avalos supervisor tang to this matter in committee over a month ago. The Second Amendment<\/a> is on page 7, line 4,. It changed the reporting for Transgender Community<\/a> to reflecting complaints filed with the office of the this and complaints, based on bias policing from the cells self identified transgender individuals. The third amendment , and its one additional lastminute amendment on making is on page 3. Line 19. I would like to strike the phrase that says, the officer as a lawful reason to identify such passengers. It should read if the officer has a reasonable suspicion to detain such passengers. The final amendment can be found on page 5, line 1. June 30, 2016 and then online two, should read, june 2017 to be in line with the end of the fiscal year. So some cleanup language. Youre proposing the specific commitments to be passed today that is correct is that emotion no, not yet im not done. Thank you matter present. Im almost done though. I also theres also recognition that came in from the Public Defenders Office<\/a> to include investigative contacts and the root reporting was appreciated nationally working closely with the pd on the Public Defenders Office<\/a> on passing this ordinance have not accepted this legislation. It goes beyond the focus of the ordinance and really beyond the scope of what this 21stCentury Policing<\/a> report recommends. So this ordinance is focused on stops and detentions. There are a long list of folks i like to think. Im proud to work with a wide range of community and serving that he advocates on this particular ordinance by to think very quickly, the officers for justice, the transgender law center, community againstcan i Community United<\/a> against violence the Human Rights Commission<\/a>, office of citizens complaints, youth commission, and of course the sheriffs and Police Department<\/a>. Both sermons have been instrumental as has the Public Defenders Office<\/a>. Colleagues come i hope to have this moved forward thank you. Is there a motion to move these moments for yes. There is a motion seconded by supervisor kim. Can we take these mms . One more thing. I want to recognize my cosponsor pres. Breed and supervisor kim im sorry. Supervisor you rick and kim thank you. Colleagues, can we take these amendments without objection, without objection the minutes pass orcs supervisor kim as lungs were talking about amendments i do have a question about its not necessarily something i want to include in the ordinance today, but i did notice Public Defenders Office<\/a> and suggested we include reporting on in investigative contacts as well. I was curious about that conversation and why was ultimately not included in the legislation . Just a little bit of scope of what im trying to do. The basis of my legislation is based on the 21st century report that pres. Obama put out. This did not include investigative points. I was curious in the hearing if it came up this was an issue where there was disparities that were perceived in communities around [inaudible] by the police around investigative contacts no, not at all i do want to say that i support this legislation and recognize to provide supervisor cohen for leadership on this bit i think its incredibly important and regularly report data so this transparency with the public around how our police and Sheriffs Department<\/a> have contact with members of the public, particularly among round detention and traffic stops that i look forward to the reports coming forward in may of next year. I hope that they are illuminative but also that we can learn from that as we improve our relationships and Building Trust<\/a> with members of the public. So thank you for that thank you. Supervisor compos thank you. I want to thank supervisor cohen for this item like to be added on as a cosponsor. Im very supportive of it what were trying to do with this item. I think we need to have data to more transparency, but i do want to say that putting whats happening around Law Enforcement<\/a> in context, i think this is a step in the right direction good a lot more needs to be done, not only with the Police Department<\/a> but also the sheriffs arent. One of the things that were still waiting to figure out how were going to do this, is the implementation of the body camera program. I think that the fact that, its been a while since it was first announced and we still have not seen full implementation. I think that is a concern. The other thing i would say, i think that its more about the data we need. I think theres actually a need for conference of reform of our Law Enforcement<\/a> agencies, including reform around training, hiring and quite frankly, the Disciplinary Proceedings<\/a> as well. We have a situation where some of the individuals that were involved in the text messaging scandals depending on what happens with the court, those cases may end up being thrown out of the court system. I think thats a pretty horrible thing to happen not only in terms of those cases, but also the kind of message it sends. The reality is, that what is happening in places like ferguson, while it is not to the same degree of problem in San Francisco<\/a>, still a problem in San Francisco<\/a>. I dont believe that we as a city collectively are doing enough to address that that reform that is needed and i think that because of that inability to fully tackle this issue, we have a situation where many communities, especially communities of color theres a lack of trust. A Law Enforcement<\/a>. Not just of the Police Department<\/a> but also the Sheriffs Department<\/a>. So, i think that its an important step in the right direction, but this is a very small step in a larger context of what needs to be done to reform Law Enforcement<\/a> agencies. If we cannot do that the right way in San Francisco<\/a>, where else in this country cannot happen . Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. I want to thank supervisor cohen in supervisor avalos and the other cosponsors.

I think they recently alerted us that africanamerican adults are seven times more likely as white adults to be arrested in San Francisco<\/a> from the public defenders Racial Justice<\/a> committee were a lot of great suggestions came out of the 10 point program, that we need to go even further but i think this is a good first step as we try to look at the Police Department<\/a> and the Sheriffs Department<\/a> as well.

Org. The rest also met thank you. Supervisor winner welcome back from will would be says. I look forward to a terrific rest of the year and just in the needs of our city. Today im introducing legislation to trigger over the course of the next year a subway master plan for San Francisco<\/a>. While we have a lot of terrific transportation fanning going on in our city and region, to the rework of the mta and the transportation authority, a Planning Department<\/a> and so forth, we really need to have a sharp focus on the future of underground transit in San Francisco<\/a>. Our city is growing by lease and balance by about 10,000 people a year. The city is more crowded than ever and we see nowhere more than on our streets where we have congestion that seems to get worse and worse. Impact every mode of transportation and particular Transit System<\/a>. Our municipal is on average the slowest transit major Transit System<\/a> in the country. All at over 8 miles an hour and her buses and light rail vehicles are being caught in the same topic that everyone else is been caught in get it impacts our economy, our quality of life and we need to make our Transit System<\/a> more efficient. So, in addition to doing what we can to improve the efficiency and accessibility of our bus system and aboveground light rail lines, we need to be planning aggressively for the coming years and decades to have more subway lines in San Francisco<\/a>. Right now, the last subway line we open in San Francisco<\/a> was 35 years ago. When i was 10 years old. When the Market Street<\/a> subway line was open, which covered the small portion of the city at around eight same time, bart opened up its Market Street<\/a> line south to delhi city. So, these two subway lines have been incredibly well used, but theyre not expensive enough. Theres no Subway Service<\/a> in the northern part of the city and western San Francisco<\/a> in the southeastern part of the city. It is not acceptable that it takes longer to get downtown from the sunset were from the bayview than from thewe need to address that. We know the central subway is on track to be done in a few years will immediately be the highest ridership line of any of the light rail vehicle lines. We need to make sure that the central subway is extended north to north beach and fishermans wharf. We need to look at the jays to extend subway to other parts of the city, particularly, the west side of town in southeastern San Francisco<\/a>. Need to make sure that the downtown extension is built in the second translate to. Their summary things we can do to dramatically improve transit access in San Francisco<\/a> and transit reliability. So, the legislation asks for a subway master plan over the course of the next year with thierry article updates thereafter. Subways are expensive, they are timeconsuming and challenging many ways. But it would be much far greater cost not to be building subways in San Francisco<\/a> in terms of the ability of our city to get around. So, i look forward to the conversation on this important topic. The rest i submit and . Supervisor yee. Supervisor avalos thank you. Colleagues, the three items for introduction. First, an introduction for the ordinance to create the jewish home special youth this circuit which allows the expansion of the Residential Care<\/a> facility. The jewish home has been serving the greater bay area for over 100 years. Its a facility on the corner mission and civil advocate of residential characters of the most lease for Senior Citizens<\/a> and they have been doing really great work. Medical care thats provided there as well. But under theyears the way theyve been doing business and taking care of people, its a real change in how they can actually be sustainable in the year to come. Et al. Plan about rearranging the facility and their care model to make sure they can really meet the needs that are going to be coming forward in the financial needs of how organizations like this get funded in the years to come. The plan, theyve done with over many many years they put together a plan. Theyve had a lot of work with Community Groups<\/a>. Just last week, they were with the Planning Commission<\/a> was given him unanimous vote of approval for different projects. Part of that is creating a specialwhich am happy to cosponsor. Im really excited as well that, in terms of their work with the Community Groups<\/a> and excelsior, looking at traffic issues, landscaping of public space along the part of the corridor has been difficult to make presentable. Thats a big part of that in future years to come. So i want to thank them for their new plan and hope to have your support colleagues when this comes before us later this year. I am also submitting a resolution that would reaffirm a Prior Development<\/a> area in the southern part of San Francisco<\/a> along the mission and geneva court order. Pda our designation designated areas of our area the bay area in this case San Francisco<\/a> that would allow us to receive funding from different sources, including the one bay area grants that support transit and also Housing Development<\/a>s. Theres an oversight that this moment area was not included or was not actually formally created, and this will enable the Planning Department<\/a> to submit an application for this pda to be done and obedient area of San Francisco<\/a> that is ripe for development for denser housing, for transit oriented development, and the skys the limit about what we can do with this area. Especially around the balboa park organization. There are areas that could be developed for Affordable Housing<\/a> and really meet our Transit Needs<\/a> in this part of San Francisco<\/a> and the bay area. Lastly i have a hearing request that i want to thank supervisor cohen for cosponsorship. The hearing request is on an update from the San Francisco<\/a> retirement board so their efforts around divestment from fossil fuel corporations. If you call, colleagues, back in april 2013, we passed unanimously a resolution urging the retiring board to divest from fossil fuel corporations and that request really came at an understanding that already the corporations that have fossil fuel sites in their portfolios, coal come up thats in the ground, oil thats in the down crude oil thats in the ground, that stockpiles of fossil fuel thats enough to actually hurt gb earths temperature well beyond the building to old life. If we burn all that fuel so makes a lot of sense we do not burn all the fossil fuels that are in the capacity first to build. Instead, think of and alternatives to burning. Looking at nonfossil fuel type of generation of power resource. So, we pass that unanimously but up to this time, the retiring board had been an staff have been very slow moving forward on the program that we authorized them to do. Theyve been almost working obstructive lesion helping to move this Program Forward<\/a> and i want to make sure that we can actually do what we have intended further retiring board in his hearing and will get update from staff about what theyre doing. The rest i will submit thank you. Supervisor compass will return to after the president calls for the 2 30 pm the nation mdm. Pres. Thank you. Today colleagues i have a very special commendation for an organization that has done tremendous work here in the city and county of San Francisco<\/a>. At this time i would like to ask dr. Joel marshall to come up. And accept this commendation on behalf of our full board for the alive and free program. More specifically, on behalf of the board of supervisors, i want to acknowledge the alive and Free Omega Boys Club<\/a> on the occasion of graduating over 200 young people. 200 young people from college. This milestone is a realization of their mission to cultivate youthto work with young people and cultivate a path toward a positive future for young people in our communities, and, in 1987, after experiencing a loss of so many young people throughout the city to the prison system, to drugs, two games, to death, sadly, dr. Marshall and jack got together and cofounder was initially called the Omega Boys Club<\/a>, as a way to keep young people unharmed by violence and free from incarceration. The Youth Development<\/a> and Violence Prevention Program<\/a> that day together as a part of Omega Boys Club<\/a> is now called alive and free and is gained national, and international, acclaimed for its pioneering work with young people and i can attest to the great work of alive and free from personal experience is the former director of the africanamerican art and culture complex. When we experience significant challenges with our young people over time in the district it was dr. Marshall who stepped up with his team to consistently work with our young people, and we definitely save some lives of their. Alive and free program defines violence as a social disease that transmits to the limited instruction bad behavior and by identifying and addressing the systematic thinking that puts young people at risk in the first place, the alive and free Program Champions<\/a> in belief that, with positive lifestyle choices, that will offset the disease of violence in our community, and hopefully, change lives. Alive and free tries to change belief values and attitudes that promote Youth Violence<\/a> in the first place through a process that is designed to help young people succeed in life, attend college, and get back to their communities. Through its outreach programs alive and free has challenged the cycle violence and property that threatens our young people. Its syndicated weekly broadcast, street soldiers, which recently celebrated its 20th anniversary onis a solution solution driven oriented callin show that focuses on issues affecting young people today, including issues around drugs, teen pregnancy bullying, cyber bullying, dropout rates, etc. The School Adoption<\/a> program assist schools in transforming their costumes into proactive positive learning environments, and since 2000 the alive and free staff have trained over 1000 teachers and staff at over 17 schools, which supports more than 15,000 students. The alive and free academy serves over 200 young people, ages 1424, every single year. Offering a Safe Learning<\/a> environment to develop math, literacy, and life skills as well as college preparation, scholarships, and mentoring. This project has helped over 200 young people complete undergraduate degrees, and 60 of whom have received or are currently working on their graduate degrees. It is truly an amazing accomplishment, and i was there with dr. Marshall on august 2 when many of those graduates attended the event to celebrate this milestone. Just some people that came from all over, folks doing really well, and i think what was truly clear about the young folks that dr. Marshall comeau which are now some of them are older than i am, but hes helped over the years, is that all of them talked about how their story, their challenges the obstacles they overcame, but most important how they want to make sure that they are doing everything they can to continue to give back to their community to provide the next young person the same opportunity that dr. Marshall has provided him. I think thats a testament to his work in the community and how he has worked to really transform some lives. While the organization is headquartered in San Francisco<\/a>, alive and free has expanded its presence in the bay area across the nation, and the globe to the alive and Free National<\/a> consortium, which is dedicated for using and promoting the same violence prevention model developed by dr. Marshall and jack with the Omega Boys Club<\/a> over 20 years ago. Every young person, within his or her health, as the full potential of greatness alive and free has provided a blueprint for overcoming the obstacles many young people face in atrisk communities. They have this established a roadmap for change and opportunity for which young people can reach enormous heights. It is clear that every single day you are touching his more lives dr. Marshall, and on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco<\/a>, on behalf of the board of supervisors, we can menu and we celebrate you. This terminus milestone of 200 lives, 200 college graduates. Thank you for your commitment and work to San Francisco<\/a>. This is truly amazing. [applause] welcome those way more than i expected. You know, first of all thank you resident breed. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. They say good news is no news so good news is doesnt seem to make the papers. It doesnt make the certainly the 11 pm news especially with a population that i work with. So, to be able to receive this from you and the board is great. I cant say enough about it except it on behalf of all those young people lets be honest im just trying to churn out more london reads thento do that i got them past the hurdles of that they face every day. I know both of you and youre very aware of and its been great. My grandmother told me when i was sixyearold more you know the more you owe. Those in the words ive lived by since then hasnt grown in life, ive come to understand that someone pays the way for me so ive been very happy to do that all of these years. I personally want to thank you for peeking at our event that day. I know it took away a little bit of your sunday and its a sacred day, but thank you.

Thank you on behalf of young people, think my grandmother did she conjured this up and im just carrying out her dream and everybody stay alive and free. Think not thank you dr. Marshall. [applause] thank you very much colleagues. Now clerk, well return to our regular business and go back to will call for introductions and madam clerk supervisor campos thank you. Again congratulations to commissioner marshall andfor the incredible work he does. Have a couple of items. First, simply one note that something very disturbing happen in my district over the weekend. We became aware yesterday of graffiti that was plastered in different parts of the puerto district that essentially, hate speech targeted against the Chinese American Community<\/a> in that neighborhood. I want to say that , as a supervisor for this district, but is very disturbing, upsetting that Something Like<\/a> this would happen in this day and age in same cisco. Though, i also think of something negative something positive can come out. Im grateful that this community has rallied, has come together to condemn this hateful speech and to send a very clear message that the kind of speech that targets anyone community in our city is simply not tolerated. There is a rally at the community is putting together for this thursday at 6 pm, and i think that that rally in the Community Coming<\/a> together is more reflective of what the portal is about with San Francisco<\/a> is about. The second item that i have is the hearing request on the very important issue of whats happening with shortterm rentals here in San Francisco<\/a>. Today im calling for a hearing on a couple of items. First, how are San Francisco<\/a> Treasurers Office<\/a>, and how our new office of shortterm rentals are handling tax collection, as well as the enforcement of a law that went into effect a few months back. It has been now more than eight months since what we believe, what i believe and many believe is a flawed law was implemented , actually, failed to be properly implemented. In the last few months, we have seen only 600 people have registered with the city. This is out of more than 8000 shortterm listings that the city has more than 5000 of those listings come from one company alone. Throughout this whole time this company, after paying their taxes three years late has been asserting it has paid it back taxes and that it supposedly permits 1 million a month to San Francisco<\/a> in taxes. Yet, as far as i know, no one has independently verify that information. At the same time, as the independent budget legislative analyst has found, this one company alone is facilitating a loss of at least 1000 units of housing in San Francisco<\/a>. Up to 23 of units that could be rented are being b b. According to our chief economist, even one unit of housing to a shortterm rental cost the city more than 250,000 and illuminates any positive Economic Impact<\/a> the tourist rental. Yet, we are talking about as much as 1000 units been lost. One company alone. Given this context, i would like to pressures Treasurers Office<\/a> to clarify how much b b and other platforms have paid back in current taxes and id also like to understand the treasurers policies comes to collecting taxes for what is essentially, illegal activity. Moreover, how does the Treasurers Office<\/a> deal with companies such as the rpo which not really collect taxes on behalf of their. The second point is that i want to understand how the newly formed office of shortterm rental administration and were sent, which has presented by the mayor and others as the panacea, or the agency that was needed to make things better, how is that actually doing. What exactly is that agency doing to enforce the law . Without data from the hosting platform, so without fines for those platforms that this illegal listings how does this agency actually plan to go after the thousands of unregistered units in the city . What is this agencys enforcement plan . I also want to know how the Treasurers Office<\/a>, and the office of shortterm rental working together. We know that the treasurer is a partner in any kind of enforcement at the city has, but we also know there are limitations in terms of what information the treasurer can share because of the confidentiality of some of the Tax Information<\/a> that they have. When the treasurer collects taxes from unregistered host, who by virtue of being unregistered are engaging in illegal activity, what is the protocol. Is that information shared by the treasurer with the office of shortterm rentals . Or is it not fax if not, this means that one of the cities collecting taxes of hosts they know are not in compliance with city law while the other arm of the city is blindly trying to do enforcement without data. To me cooperation between two city agencies is critical, and if there is no cooperation would be problematic to fully understand how it is enforcement would happen. There is an urgent need for transparent when it comes to shortterm rentals. Our housing crisis continues to ravage our middle and low income residents, and we have seen that shortterm rentals are indeed impacting the availability of housing for san franciscans. We need strong enforcement and we need it now. The last item is actually three in memoriam that i am doing in honor of three remarkable women who simply have left us too soon. I wouldnt have done this earlier, but due to our break, we cannot acknowledge the contributions of these women. The first one is ivana giovanna luna. Giovanna was a wonderful and inspiring woman. A leader with ellaa leadership and Service Organization<\/a> for transgender latinas in the mission. She devoted her life to providing services to translatina urgent women in San Francisco<\/a>. At the Outreach Coordinator<\/a> for this program she was committed to uplifting the transit latina community. Her friends, family and colleagues describe her as a playful person who is extremely apathetic and want to hope others in the community. Ivana was admired in the Transgender Community<\/a> and beyond and shall be greatly missed. Just a little bit about giovanna. She was born in mexico on may 5, 1976 moved to the bay area in the early 2000. She died much too soon at the age of 39. If you like to make a contribution there is a Memorial Fund<\/a> for giovanna. Its thatits under the name giovannas Memorial Fund<\/a>. Theres also a fundraiser event for her that ella is putting together at 9 pm tomorrow at 29 at 2940 16th st. The second in memoriam is for the incredible vassallo anaya. Rosario anaya has not been up beater in the Mission Community<\/a> but all San Francisco<\/a> for decades. She was an advocate for so many people and her death is simply a tremendous loss matches for the mission, but for all San Francisco<\/a>. I want to thank supervisor yee for cosponsoring that in the morning. She was a trailblazer in every sense of the word. Born on october 7, 1944, in bolivia she moved with her family to open when she was 17. She later graduated from San Francisco<\/a> university with a bachelors degree in Public Administration<\/a> and masters in counseling and psychology. Within a few years of graduation she had established herself as a leader for advocacy for the underserved latino populations and others. The sorrows of life work has been, the last decades the Vocational School<\/a>, and lbs, an organization that is up to thousands of immigrants of all backgrounds gain the skills needed to succeed in this country. Becoming the and lbs before turning 30, she spent the next reach of years beating this nonprofit organization. Originally a Program Offering<\/a> mostly english instruction for latinos, rosario expanded the program to become a broader Vocational School<\/a> for all immigrants adding classes for medical, clerical, computer, eric business and pharmacy skills. As a result of that work, the program currently graduates about 300 students a year. You can imagine the thousands of students that have benefited from this in the last few decades. In 1970, rosario earned a unique distinction of being the first latin american women elected to Public Office<\/a> in San Francisco<\/a>s history. She served on the board of education for 12 years and was president of the board of education for eight of those years. On top of everything she did for San Francisco<\/a>, rosario is one of the sweetest nicest people you could meet. She was kind and compassionate, our thoughts and prayers are with her her family, and her friends and we especially want to give our condolences to the incredible staff that and lbs thank you was audio, for everything you did for our community. We will always remember you could we will honor the memory, your memory, by continuing to support the work of and lbs. The final item is and in memoriam to honor the life of a very special person Rosemary Lambert<\/a>, who passed away Rosemary Lambert<\/a>, who passed away in august 22 at the age of 59. Rosemary is the mother of cory lambert, whose the ardor of ice and former member of the board of supervisor. Rosemary lambert died after brave to halfyear struggle with als.

As you can see the bottom of the list now your board president has joined the ranks supervisor mar which kind of surprised me, and pride of place goes to supervisor farrell.

Mr. Lessons are beloved entirely ignored my request for clarification of his position under charter section 2. 100. There are multiple publish assertions of mr. Ivans failure to confine securities to city business. These are multiple instances of his failure to comply with its additional restraints on his activities, but you are uninformed. Mr. Organizing continues to participate in if a loan is conspiracy to aid state laws prohibiting private usage of Public Transit<\/a> areas of the ongoing google bus that public space. This activity was broadly and publicly reported and you are on interested could mr. Lee openly participates in a felonious conspiracy to avoid state and local laws regarding the ongoing unlicensed drug sale of alcohol beverages, food and lodging to the public in the collection of taxes generated by such activities and you are unavailable. Members, if you dont have the wisdom to hold mr. Lee accountable to any standard, you dont have the courage to put the hard questions to him, the public does, you should submit a charter commitment to the voters which would require the mayor take Public Comment<\/a> once a month in his chambers for an hour. This way, at least 20 good citizens of our beloved city and county of San Francisco<\/a> would be with the get his designers of full attention for 2 min. About having to pay cash for it. Today i forwarded possible language for such to the clerks office. Thank you pres. Breed thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Supervisors, may i bring it to your attention, that this is the United States<\/a> of america. When you representatives take the oath to represent you better represent. Now the media has been pointing out about paid to play. Pay to play. We have Empirical Data<\/a>, Empirical Data<\/a> is data that can be verified, about a few of you who are participating in that type of corruption. This must stop. This is the land of thei represent theand their many Indigenous People<\/a> here who are surprised when they hear that socalled representatives are corrupt. Listen to me. There are some very very very corrupt people at city hall. My friends, the time has come for a change. We know what is happening in room 200. We really know. We also know about some people who are planning to spend billions of our dollars just because they have a mouth. I just came from the San Francisco<\/a> Public Utilities<\/a> commission. They have set aside millions of dollars for mountain tunnel and you guys know nothing about it. Millions of dollars spent thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Im here because almost a month ago i got a ticket for going to a stop sign. I was beyond to cars and the first car left with a second car just stood there and refused to move. For 67 min. I started blowing my horn at this car. After a while, the car realized that there was a policeman on the other side of the street and all of a sudden his lights came on. This is at noon two3 pm the site can run everything came on. The car that was in front of me finally got scared and took off about 100 mi. h. I stood behind him looking at the policeman on the other side of the street with the lights and the alarms and everything. Im asking you, if you were there would you go to a stop sign if you saw policeman on the other side of the street with lights . No, you wouldnt you be a fool to do that. I went up to it and looked good i could see his wheels turning getting ready to come after me. He wasnt coming after me because i did anything wrong. He was coming after me because i woke him up. He was sleeping in his car doing something good i dont know what the hell he was doing. When i went through he said to me pulled me over and i said, why do you stop before because i was gone my horn too long . He said, no. Because when through a stop sign without stopping. I was there. For more than 10 min. And he says i went to a stop sign without stopping. I do like getting out of the car but at this point in my life, little old. When years ago i wouldve kicked the crap out of that son of a bitch. I think we now you need stop signs with lights like to have in south San Francisco<\/a>. If cameras all over the place. The cop could possibly give me a ticket thank you very much, sir. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. For two years sir, please use the microphone. For three years im coming to this board. 85 years old man. Its only one country is the United States<\/a>. Its barbarian fascism and here receiving 11 barbarians, jewish, black christian chinese, nobody in the world has the right to evict a person without any reason. To evict a person. 85 years on the street to die on the street like a dog like animals. What country is this . My god. I came 40 years ago from russia. If i knew which your you are lying about freedom. Again, 11 here in uris poshest across the whole and one is sitting in the white house. You all have parents and grandparents. How could you i am homeless for two years. Not your parents not your grandparents. Not this fascist. My god. What can i do . Do you want me to ask to bring a coffin here after maybe one more year or some short time . Maybe itll be a good idea to bring a coffin thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Well, i like to put this up. You said thank you very much. A few minute i want everybody here and in the audience to give a gentleman two dollars which is nothing. Thats nothing. But anyway im torn between two things i would like to talk about. Davis jesus said blessed are those that are persecuted for righteousness sake was glad to hear ted cruz visited in prison today and she loved the homosexuals and she loved god on off to obey him and glorify him and she is in prison on day number seven. I also feel lead to talk about this referendum on senate bill 21277. Iv official. If anyone here would like to sign it can i see a show of hands . Madame president there is no electioneering in the chamber theres no election hearing in the chamber. Forget i ever said that. I was not aware of that. Senate bill 277 is a dreadful thing that our jesuit governor signed into law and gives force vaccinations that go to school. Dr. Andrew wakefield was interviewed by the great house jones rocks on talk shows he started the Rush Limbaugh<\/a> i listen to all of them, thats an exaggeration but he actually is, dr. Andrew wakefield is not been debunked. Hes always been a good doctor and hes established a clear link between autism andid like you all to make some noise about this. Its totally unconstitutional thing. In regards to kim, who is in prison we see jesus said if you love me keep my commandments. We dont hate homosexuals we speak the truth. Not only to them but to everybody. God destroyed sodom and gomorrah by fire because of this particular sin. It is true that there were other sins in ezekiel we learned to other sins besides being a homosexual that cause them to be killed but jesus said that it would be more tolerable for sodom and gomorrah on judgment day thank you very much. Next he could, please. Thank you mdm. Pres. Arnold janssen supervisors, im here today because i know many of you are aware what happened to us at frederick w haynes apartments a month ago. Where im trying to think of a nice word for an illegal board of directors along with unscrupulous real estate folk try to sell about 104 family units out from under us who have even three and four bedroom homes in our complex, which you know are hard to find in San Francisco<\/a>. 104 families came within a week of being put on the street a secret sale were only for developers were invited to an option that was all going to occur in one week. Fortunately, to one of the developers who had to be a friend of mine we got wind of it and to the support members of this board and others in the city and the residence, we were able to fight it up. Well those residents who were here with me that supports our efforts in solidarity would you just stand up quick. Real quick. We want to come down and let you know how serious this thing is. We have temporarily fought it off. But it is not over. When i came today to tell you is we will be handing to you , this is just a draft of a resolution that we are going to be asking you all to adopt that will codify these affordable units for ever and put money toward maintaining these is affordable units. These were built under redevelopment. Redevelopment was charged with building and maintaining them is affordable but redevelopment is no longer there and we think that same requirements goes to the Success Agency<\/a> and we need you to support us so you be getting the final draft very soon. Thank you so much thank you. Next speaker, please. Matter present before the next speaker begins, ill just remind the members that in the Public Gallery<\/a> that there is no applause allowed either for or against any speakers in the chamber.

I will ask the members from midtown to stand up. First, we are here in solidarity with the previous speaker and we are also here seeking your support in our struggles with the Mayors Office<\/a> on housing. Constituents in district 5, we want to know if you are for our efforts . We feel we have a fair and credible decision in our struggles with the Mayors Office<\/a> on housing. We are seeking your support to reinforce. The board of supervisors resolution 32507. Also, the board of supervisors five principles. One of them is ownership. What we are seeking and we are asking for your support. With the record state that midtown Park Apartments<\/a> have never been subsidized housing. On that note, we want to thank you in advance for your support and your cooperation. Thank you. Next speaker, please good evening ladies and gentlemen. I swear put something on the thing youre can you please speak into the microphone. Im sorry. Let me just say one thing. This is my First Time Since<\/a> you back at recess. Aces on the case is returning to city hall. Im going to give the news the way it should be. Both sides of the story in my opinion. Right now ladies and gentlemen, the city, in my opinion, is the most corrupt city in San Francisco<\/a>. We also say the beginning this is the most racist city in the community but we [inaudible] now, dad he, we were together when he was with the hrc. It was no mystery if you ask about me probably see a lot of jokes. Sometime ken spears. Yes i am. In this town the black population is going down. 9. 8 billion. Yours truly ace washington along the supervisor breed the people may not know was part of a committee that put together by then mayor gavin newsom. I was the only negro, the only person involved that had history because it aint no mystery. As the issue is reporting on all the supervisor. Im in a be in the pressroom and following every issue that has something to do with the africanamerican black negro. Because my name is ace. And im on the case. So im not going to say anything today but i want you to know you cant stay away thank you very much. Next speaker, please. Hello. Hopefully this is redundant or maybe im 100 times but i was hoping that you guys could consider about the b b taxation. Its basically taxation we used to be known as illicit profit. Its a good and around [inaudible] the city feels it is being cheated out of the some of the tax revenue, what theyre doing isnt exactly correct either. As far as the San Francisco<\/a> Police Officers<\/a> are concerned, if there isnt already said psychometric examination or polymetrics psychological exam for the officers and probably should be one because it makes uncover unconscious biases. We should also but competency exam for our judges and a brady affidavit signed by prosecutors since theres apparently a lot of brady violations. Yes, if they could personally find some kind of affidavit that would be great. As far as aggressive and talk about a lot of groups at a fewhello students missed it. If you could just start deportations of foreign nationals with foreign identify terrorist group that would be great. There was some legislation passed and el salvador recently. You guys may or may not be aware of. Also if you could lose we criminalize grain association. That would give the police a very useful tool. Where they could use their own discretion to arrest any gang members affiliated with associating with one another for 48 hours or so. Also if you could get San Francisco<\/a> Field Division<\/a> of the my name is angela brown and on the townsh we of the Service Organization<\/a> and im here to speak on the issue of whats happening with many of our senior homes. The most immediate one is from Frederick Haynes<\/a> on but other homes in the Western Addition<\/a> area and other areas where predominantly africanamerican are being targeted by developers. Appears this is not a it indicated one of the reasons that there was such an exodus of africanamericans from San Francisco<\/a> is the housing issue. This is a prime example of why that is happening. Why theres so many africanamericans that are leaving San Francisco<\/a>. Housing has become totally unaffordable and those that have been here for decades that have given their blood sweat and tears to the city in taxes and are now seniors are being moved out. So please do whatever you can to stop this. My name is betty evans. I live in the community for all my life and very disturbed about the Affordable Housing<\/a> that developers piggybacked you need to stop and he said stop now. Im concerned about the corridor all the business that open up there not business person they look like me. I do know the other kind ofi been real. I can go to your neighborhood and put up a business because you wont give me the money. Being a black person i cant get a grant but everybody else in the playmate thats a nonblack can get him and him upset about the corridor of fillmore. Im sick and tired of it. We need to stop you. We vote you guys in to represent us and you dont represent us in the way we think they should be represent. We all want to live we all want to enjoy but one race of people can be put aside for another race of people. I lived in Western Addition<\/a> all my life that seem whats happened. What is going on . Why should these other persons of other nationals, and our neighborhoods but their business but we dont have to patronize these persons. So, please give us a chance as black african americans, he was, what everyone assay but dont bring them in our neighborhood. Thank you very much. Next he could, please. Got soon present greed and members of the board of supervisors and im here to ask to College Hearing<\/a> regarding illegal landuse of surplus City Property<\/a> on your bubbling up island and Treasure Island<\/a>. The 70 acres of your bubbling up island and 220 acres of became surplus city on may 20 at 25th and the San Francisco<\/a> Redevelopment Agency<\/a> to clear and transparent transition through the Successor Agency<\/a> this amp is the scope of security investment and infrastructure was the Treasure Island<\/a> did not. It Successor Agency<\/a> was the city and county of industry which made a quick transfer because the. Heavy use of any tax money in the process was nontransparent. The dda signed in 2011 was rejected by the state is not shovel ready or entitled to continue get the city is proceeding as though it is valid or protected. Given this public depend on the dollars is only a violation of law but a failure and moral imperative to preserve and provide Affordable Housing<\/a> in San Francisco<\/a>. 15 affordable rental units they plan on a permanent or not temporary and subject to the unknown limitation arts that was. Based upon past agreements the covenants will favor the developer in a few years residents will face the same dilemma as the South Beach Marina<\/a> residence. I ask you, i implore you to please call hearing on this illegal surplus land use and to stop the Luxury Development<\/a> and displacement of Affordable Housing<\/a> renters on both of these islands. Thank you. Next speaker, please. San francisco about the lie is being incredibly opposed to this giveaway of public plans on Treasure Island<\/a> and your bubbling up island. It reminds me nothing more than half plane then the oligarchs in russia who gave away everything and people would work for any infrastructure that people were for. That land, Treasure Island<\/a> belongs to the city. It is not up to the mayor or his cronies to give it away to each other or to take it. We need that land to be reserved for 100 of portal housing in accordance with the law. Thank you. Next, please. My name is kate walker and him a great dancer and both michael and i are in support, our whole organization is in support of this hearing that was requested by bette maki who was one of the leaders of the your bubbling up island tenants evicted. Never seen at San Francisco<\/a> that the entire island can be evicted. When these apartments are sold, of course theyll be much higher in terms of the mortgage and i put 3 Affordable Housing<\/a> going in. The surplus land is another issue. Ive been looking online in terms of City Ordinances<\/a> and state ordinances and the state ordinance reads, for surplus land, and that is 8 to 20 state Surplus Property<\/a>, any conveyance of Surplus Property<\/a> under this chapter would be subject to and personally applicable lie with state law including the states Surplus Property<\/a> statute and that has to do with the tack the fact that it has to be affordable. The firsthas to be affordable. That is not happening at all. It will be unaffordable. Ive so muchso many materials you. I dont understand in the marina inn might be more in just with those 100 people a been addicted. Some to Treasure Island<\/a>, which isis that articles all over the place. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. We need to do something quickly because were doing with human lives and we dont want them to be homeless. Thank you. Next he could, please. Tom gilbert t 2000 south beach apartments. Welcome back. San francisco sleeping with the windows open again. I wonder if its cool air to the noise issue. The lease is up there again. Guys need to take care. Its an issue its time has come. Ive said, ive asked before for a third minute on the third time i was wondering if we could get a reaction to that. I want to say, again, i am a call for a new direction that includes a new mayor. Jobs and growth and unAffordable Housing<\/a> by about a hopeful sustainable equilibrium the rice of the entire city. Before the vacation i asked the mayor to join supervisor farrell scheme to put a dollar in every political dollar in San Francisco<\/a>s Election Campaign<\/a> with a name to it. Since then weve got in airwaves pay to play, better than the mafia. No one is running against and so the entire Democratic Party<\/a> is in line. Yet, theres 84,000 theres 84,083 people in the city dont be a better mayor than this presents a mayor. This is an army at all my calculating that . These are the people that voted against gabe washington and were still getting these land deals from the Mayors Office<\/a>. Its time for a change. Theres an army waiting for a name. We can write it in. Maybe the pen can meet more powerful than the dollar. Housing. Ive got 11 seconds. Ive got a five Point Housing<\/a> plan. I would love a third minutes. Thank you. Thank you. Next he could, please. Hello. My name is david brink is him and artist living intriangle. Im here to speak on behalf of theresident. I hope you will consider to have a hearing on this other people ive spoken more at length about the reasons for that but for me, the issue is Affordable Housing<\/a>. Theres a lot of talk about Affordable Housing<\/a>. The People Living<\/a> there have Affordable Housing<\/a>. Instead, theyre good abilities luxury condos, maybe the mayor is going to pass socalled affordable units in some of the buildings of being put up and down the main streets of our city. Theyre not affordable for most of us. Everybody knows that. Its a laugh. So, why get rid of the Affordable Housing<\/a> you already have in order to give a giveaway to some private corporation. Nobid contract to them. I think this needs to be investigated. Please, do so thank you. Asked speaker, please. Denise luis and francisco native voter and taxpayer. I want to bring to your attention , theres a really big problem that requires some attention. These stress and dying trees on the on your gated City Property<\/a>. If you want to example, just go along with shaughnessy boulevard and the covert into grand canyon and you see stanza of dying eucalyptus trees. They represent a hazard much is because they can fall down on us, but they can also fuel of firestorm that rumor 1991, oakland hills. This is not much different. This is the fourth Consecutive Year<\/a> of drought. These trees normally take up a lot of water but theyre how the status and shown to be dying. I hope we can continue this conversation via email. I will send you a link to an article on the front page of western observer. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is nancy mcnabb. Representing my children fourth generation san franciscans, im sorry. My name is nancy mcnally. Im representing my children, fourth generation san franciscans so that theyll have a record of what i have to say. Im also the founder of the ace memorial and have been a part activist since 1969. The peoples park, berkeley. Theres very few people like myselfanymore its because of the massive evictions thats been going on for many many years. Im here to say and i want to scare all of you people are dying from stress. Its real simple. Your housing makes a difference. Im speaking for myself suffering stress. I dont own a house. I was addicted 20 years ago addicted 20 distribute you can yawn and you all you want but the next time you hear about somebody dying in San Francisco<\/a> because of this housing crisis ive been here to talk to you. Whether you listen or not, i dont know. It doesnt seem like you do. Thank you. Next speaker, please. My name is jackie bart schuck. Im with the plaza 16 coalition. Im here to talk about the island. So, why should the city, with cityowned property he developed as 95 luxury housing . Half the units that we bought up by people wont even live in them. Itll be a millionaires islands. Most of those people on the island these residents smoke wont move to Treasure Island<\/a> because of the health hazards. Youre forcing them out and forcing them to relocate to Treasure Island<\/a> with its admits contamination cleanup. So the choice of giving up as exposure to toxic chemicals or leave San Francisco<\/a> forever. My other question is, why does the city of San Francisco<\/a> award a nobid contract to rent our . This is surplus land theft as youve heard before. This is mayor lees fantasy islands and supervisor jane kim you have the power to care about your book buena island and stop this land. Do it. Thank you very much. Next speaker, please. My name is lisa vincent can work with culture Action Network<\/a> it been a member of San Francisco<\/a> since 1997 and a been in love with the city since i was 14. Im really tired of coming here for the working class people. Why is their war on the working class homes and why can we have more than one kind of economic model . Why we [inaudible] diverse by from. We love this place because of all the wonderful ways that people live. I finally had a saturday this weekend that reminded me of why the city is wonderful in involves being in buildings of different kinds of economic platitude and its too much. Its too much. Im barely making a living right now but im coming down here so much. Im really tired of it but you all power to stop being monoculture. Stop mono cropping our city, please any other members of the public alike to speak at this time . Please come for. Its to the stock market the way they evaluate the Petroleum Companies<\/a> is by reserve. Thats why the evaluation they get. For years its bizarre. Its absurd because we be committing suicide to take that much petroleum out of the ground at any one time. So i appreciate that. I think my comments are part of the continuing what the others speakers are saying. If you look at the kind of housing thats being built, couple of us got together to oppose marketrate Housing Development<\/a> in the tenderloin. Thats now beenits in play now. I dont know whos going to rent a 3000 month studio in the tenderloin but apparently with no parking having no parkingbut apparently there people thatsthey believe thats going to happen. So our neighborhood is also under attack. Going back to the petroleum issue we dont have enough infrastructure, not enough Renewable Energy<\/a> for the development that we already have in the city. Where the country. Im perplexed. Are the basic question. If the island deal isnt so poor, i dont see the harm of the investigation is . Either is what it sounds like it is to the community, or Something Different<\/a> and if there was an investigation then hopefully, were going to make clear a lot of things that are not currently known clearly to your public. So, i would strongly encourage an investigation in a very public transparent discussion of the whole situation which really doesnt seem like its happened yet. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public who would like to provide Public Comment<\/a> at this time . Seeing none, Public Comment<\/a>these come forward. Today, supervised my name is sandra mann. Im a residence of San Francisco<\/a> lifetime resident. My concern is, what is to be done with the property surrounding the former site of candlestick stadium . I realize that candlestick stadium was sitting on City Property<\/a>. Now the surrounding area there is state property because i used to work for the state 25 something years ago. So, ever since candlestick was bulldozed to talk about the building this brandnew neighborhood, but that land surrounding candlestick stadium is state Surplus Property<\/a>.
