To. I know other colleagues would like to speak. thank you supervisor, peskin. thank you so much for speaking about tom hey den. What an, amazing history. It had an impact on the student movement. I think the vision that came out of the statement is something that i think about every day. His vision support, even how we look at politics today. thank you supervisor, mar . Supervisor yee. legislation for file, i have dedicated my life making San Francisco a Family Friendly city. In january this board passed an ordinance to pass an child care impact fee. This alone will not address the needs for call quality care for our children. The legislation i am introducing today has gone through a number of revisions. This legislation will be first in the nation creating a Program Building if passed this program will be the first of its kind. Developers, rental projects will have the option to be dedicated to these child care programs. We have a need for quality child care and this would be a way to start addressing some of this. I believe that this will create dozens of Family Child Care homes. I look forward to working to have the support of my colleagues. And will be used to help address the need of the cities children and families. thank you supervisor. mayor lee and i dont always agree. But we do agree that development benefits should stay in the neighborhoods where development is taking place. It allows fees from and then using the proceeds to turn those units into permanently affordable housing. The legislation that the mayor and i are introducing today offers a fourth choice. To allow that the fees stay in the neighborhood by investing in a small site acquisition this fund was started in 2014 and has stabilized. This will allow even more permanently affordable housing. We need to make sure that the benefits stay in the neighborhood where its taking place.

Ill have to defer to another colleague. at this time we will recognize supervisor er rick mar. first on the list. Im happy of all the person i have chosen has had an impact on childrens lives and the education system. Can alison come forward . Alison was recently promoted to in the college of ethic studies. Im going to veer off my script. Her leadership in establishing ethnic studies and in our studies, often the politician take credit for everything. Its the youth that really lift us up and make it easy for the board to claim she also is a faculty member beyond teaching to respond to the lack of social and emotional challenges. I dont think the state of california would have passed the ethic studies each year pep is proud to have produced hundreds of the book that. I really want to appreciate, thank you for giving me this award. Thank you, thank you. I appreciate the continued work that you all are doing, locally and you are going to continue on into the state and national levels. Thank you. congratulations. I will go back to supervisor tang. its my honor he is a counselor. He has count less accomplishments. He serves as a role as a support er. He always seeks out to support students who are new to the United States. I heard that in the last year about 900 visits to the center. Thats a high number there. He started an antibullying event. He started health id ol. Its a competition. Presented as a cdc in georgia. He also started the improve group. Every thursday they meet at lunch to practice. Gives feedback. He started the club as a fundraiser for a trip where they helped build an elementary school. He works carefully with the transition and Early Warning to help students who are in need. He was also the driving force for the students at lincoln. Prevent, make sure that the support is appropriate and make sure that the faculty knows what is going on. He also dances hip hop. He helps teach the students how to dance. He is also a professional dance instructor. They will be performing at city haul on friday november 4th. So for everything that he has done to help our community and beyond, i extend my deepest gratitude to you. Thank you. id like to thank the board of supervisors. One thing that we were talking about in the back we are a very invisible community. When i started in the district i worked at franklin. They said to me where have you been . Nobody knows that we are here. Nobody talks to us. And working with the kids at lincoln they show me their essays and i ask them why are your heros white . Why recreating stories about the dominant culture. It starts here with recognizing a community that is doing great work. So thank you again and thank you to all of the others for the great work that you are doing in the city. thank you supervisor, weiner. I am honoring two individuals who are not here today. They are making a difference throughout San Francisco. The food truck long time friends and restaurant owners. He had the ambition and hasnt looked back. It is only a matter of time that it would be a fusion rolling restaurant in our city. Its composed of family recipes. They took the portability of their favorite mexican dishes. And even the name is a fusion of filipino and mexican. I hear raving reviews of them all of the time. I want to congratulate them. thank you very much. Were going to go to supervisor peskin . legacy businesses have disappears. Were lucky to have him celebrate. over a quarter of a century ago he opened his own shop where he provided retail, custom shoes. After running a string of in store boutiques, and pursuing his love of fashion , later in 2011 he moved. It wasnt like we have today where its one of the most expensive cities. One of the things about a Small Business is to get involved. With the Merchant Community , with the supervisors and there is an effect that can happen. That happened with me in the mission. And sometimes you are a victim of your own success. Because now you stay in a place for 25 years and its difficult to continue. I would hope that this would resonate with this board that its difficult for me to continue. Its difficult to build a team and i know with some of the board over here are doing a great job of making the city affordable for Small Business. And thank you for this honor. thank you so much. Actually i was going to begin today to honor a member of our Filipino Community member. We an unexpected passing of a Great Community leader.

I know that there needs to be a lot of work to be done.
