retain debra walker to the police commission and seconded by supervisor safai sorry go ahead and debra walker has documented her time and energy and experience in november of this city to approve for more than thirty years by all accounts including mine and debra walker is an incredible public servant has oversight and scrutiny to those for unpaid service and served in 200 and pushed for real reforms to challenge the agency with a history of problems with two decades debra walker was reappointed to the by progressives and moderates and

served prior to the appointment of police commission i could go on and on and commissioner and leader the lgbtq+ but didn't time to give mann anyone a falls impression she is able to fill this post and to serve on is police commission this is a time consuming job it is championship and often heated matters of public safety and as a member a gay members of the board of supervisors i would be remiss not to note the 11 periphery in the lgbtq+ community and going back to dianne feinstein appointment amazing lgbtq+ leaders and most of us worked

with debra walker and known for to be thoughtful and patient and diligent and hard working and no doubt she'll continue to bring this approach to the commissions and city government i'll hope you'll join me in reaffirming her appointment and outside of this building whether that is accurate the notion sometimes city hall can interfere in the operation of the city departments it is the kind of narrative position animated some of the ballot measures people are not some of my colleagues have not responding to - to it is the kind of thing we're creating so it is our job as supervisors to confirm our original appointment and hopefully my colleagues will and calling into question the work ethics somebody is by all get is

extraordinary commissioner and merits changing this i know my colleagues care about the public safety we can agree that debra walker is a serving our city over the years i hope we agree that san francisco is lucky to have debra walker and again, amend this and change the motion from reject to approve and ask the commissioners. >> thank you, supervisor dorsey from reject to approve it is discussed and colleagues wanted to note that commissioner walker is present and if colleagues will delusional me i'd like to wave the board rules if to objections we can ask her questions and i was not able to

attend the rules committee on monday (coughing) and have been busy and not watching the tape but if you will allow it colleagues we can ask i could ask questions you are also welcome to ask as well but i see people's names on the roster before i call commissioner wakeer up commissioner chan interview by: president peskin i want to make sure we shed light on where the committee rejected commissioner walk eerie want to say like i said in rules committee that sometimes, we as members of this board have to make tough and hard decisions when it comes to making decisions about people we have admiration for so this is definitely not about trevor with

anything. in fact, this is definitely not apply for me in fact, the charter put us in a position to make that decision and sometimes making hard decisions is something we have to be willing to do but i want to start off by saying i have known commissioner walker for several years and think that she number one, is a great person. and certainly someone should be celebrated and acknowledged to paraphrase our speakers at the rules committee and much like other public speakers stated ache paraphrasing you'll no hesitant but not in good conscious support her in this role i say have to separate the work from her past with the information put in front of me in particular by commissioner walker in her statement at rules

committee. and from her assessment she didn't believe the police commission should be setting policy for the department and gave her examples how it is bad for police commission is a function of police commission in those roles we can't say we support one roll by not support the other function. these rolls should transcend politics but her statements advocated to decrease the role of the power of police commission the very body she wishes to continue to serve on. i do again want to commend commissioner walker for her service to the city but can't support her there is personally things i wanted to do that people who had this experience may have value my opinions for other things told me in actually

they were right this is the not about commissioner walker being a good person in san francisco that is one of the first people to lead the chorus but we're making decisions about someone serving on the body that they don't really feel part of rolls and function of that body is something they have to adhere do we talk about politics where we are in the city today has nothing to do with commissioner walker not putting this one her but one of the supporters walked out because they disagreed and called her a piece of shit in the chamber before they walked out that crushed me and made me

sad. thank you, supervisor walton supervisor melgar and thank you, supervisor walton i've known commissioner walk era long time and served on the inspection commission and known her to have many great integrity and this vote now is about the police commission. not about the work she's done in the past so with that, i have to stand up for my own experience which draw your attention as a police commissioner last year, we voted on the early reappointment which i was happy to do and proud to vote for um, now chair alisa i think when people show up and

they work hard and have the best interests of the city in their work um, we should support them and i feel like commissioner walker has done that and i don't always agree with her political analysis and shouldn't be the expectation i think the body reappoint it is the point to have a different points of view reflect and trust that the process we have legislated and move forward will have the results of having us in the diverse city is represents different views and that still, you know, by talking to one another manage to make progress i'll dully why commissioner walker last month held the hearing about women in the san

francisco police department about, you know, the way they are treated, about retention, that recruitment and something that is to me besides this is the support of women all the statistics nationally said when you have more women in any police department all of those things we talked about in terms of reform and um, excess use of force and get better a direct relationship between a high number of women in any police department and all those things we deeply care about that chief has made a commitment of hiring thirty percent of police force by 20 thirty and we have created a worker group of the folks in the police department um, and the sheriff's office and

commissioner van buskirk walker is the only police commissioner had an interested in that put in the work and assist us and showed up every time not just to a attend the hearing but recruitment event all the work and i really appreciate that i think it is going above and beyond not just the work but the deep commitment to putting in the work to do that i will be very proud to support her and hope that you do as well. >> thank you constraining. >> colleagues when commissioner debra walker was appointed to the police commission i voiced any concerns here in the chamber for qualification. and whether with her background and experience as an artist will be better suited

for the airport commission and i voted against her appointment now mayor london breed has decided to reappoint her to the police commission. and so here we go. >> commissioner walker (coughing) and i met and discussed even though we recognizes we don't see ice eye to eye we discussions what we can do to find common ground for san franciscans that is a critical time. so um, but have to say we heard from some lgbtq+ leaders who i have respect for and love urged me to vote against commissioner walkers appointment. however, at that moment in time our police commission is having challenges to have a quorum. this is for

that they're able to continue their work. it is critical. given our rules committee previously and sponsored the majority of the commission appoints that is now our police commission i'm proud of make up so today i'm in support of commissioner walkers appoint so we can get back to work and the police commission can get back to work just to be clear, with this vote continuing calling on the police commission and demand accountability and continually reform from the police. thank you. >> thank you. and supervisor ronen. >> thank you, colleagues. i'm personally absent on the rules committee despite being on the rules committee on the day of commissioner walk earrings

appointment i want to thank supervisor walton for that meeting and dealing with unexpected um, of that meeting thank you, express any gratitude and not be supporting commissioner walker today. prooifs because of the reason that supervisor walton expressed i did go back and watched the entire hearing what i heard several times in this hearing and then confirmed with other commissioners that commissioner walker is not the first time she made remarks that non-police officers should be making policy when this he never held the job. the entire purpose of police commission is quite the opposite to have citizens oversight with a pro-military structure has

carried guns in society. and that has an outside control over um, people's whether people live or die on the streets and i think the police department has done a very good job with the police reform and decreased the number of ois but severe problems in the police department the oversight is an important part of our - the way we function as a city. just the other day the police commission sent us their partnership statement i don't know if you read it by the first line of the statement is silver spring sfpd the commission has three main powers. the first power is to

promulgate the department general orders set forth policy of officers in the field as well as sfpd institutional regulations this is a reason we have mroefrlz overseeing a department employees have a different level of power over citizens in society i think we should keep it that way and problematic for a commissioner to believe that they shouldn't do one of the main purposes of the job so i will say that that would be hard for me to believe the idea to bring commissioner walker up to say she didn't mean that and hard to believe when this he said that on camera in the rules committee but many times in the past we can have a

conversation right now but my concerns will not be. >> zigzagged that our police commission is civilian oversight over a pro-military department with power over citizens. >> thank you president peskin and with the comments of supervisor ronen and supervisor walton and echo many of the comments about commending commissioner walker for her many, many years of the service to the city. i think she should be commended and provided distinguished leadership on the

bodies and an option on the police commission why think that just because someone serves they they'll be the right fit for every commission in this case it is clear to me this is not the right fit i can't reappoint her to the police commission i think the police commission already has a difficult job to do including as supervisor ronen setting the policy for the department and with the oversight that work is hard enough without worrying about one of the commissioners working to undermine or the authority of that build and perhaps concerning after the rules

committee i had an opportunity to watch that whole that hearing and was very concerned about the exempts questioning the police commission rule in setting policy for the police department. and also really complaining there is quote way too much input from people about police officers. i don't know how one can serve on a body whose entire purpose is the oversight body. so the criticisms that body weigh in on pole and has a roll despite not police officer didn't makes a lot of sense so i think, you know, beyond that i do want to say the same hearing not much hearing the pretext stops that is concerning to see a police

commissioner refusing to call for that i think 2024 is very troubling stops so damaging especially to black and brown residents of san francisco. and, you know, one thing to see policy disagreements and certainly voted for plenty of not only nominees i don't agree on many things by yet don't agree we have appointments for commissioners i don't have to agree with everything everyone says for me to vote i feel like foundationly they're asked the role of that body. beyond the rules committee i have additional concerns that predate

that hearing and about commissioner walkers independence given her public statement in the after path of the resignation scandal and while fellow commissioner to time carter bravely withstood attacks for doing his jobs and requiring commissioners to secretly sign unrest nation papers should be offering to everyone and offense to most but while commissioner was dealing with really a widespread mere commissioners commissioner walker down phrased and seemed unconcerned with the direct attack on the police commission

independently and problematic as well. so i appreciate commissioner walkers service on the bodies of the city but respectfully rejecting her appointment. >> supervisor mandelman. >> i have known debra walker for a couple of decades now. probably longer than than that and she is a friend and someone i have long admired but supporting her of 14er7 not and thank supervisor dorsey for the motion. i think that is a little bit nuts to say that a lesbian women lives in the city with a relationship between the police department and queer community was significantly different than today didn't believe in civilian oversight of the police

department that is wrong and imagining ms. walker had the opportunity to correct that mills apprehension i think the conversation about the police commission as a policy setting body is an interesting one and apprentices a challenge with the charter and lost folks have been thinking about and i've think thinking about and our president and folks outside the community and part of executive branch and month san franciscans expect it will pursue policies consistent with the general worldview and the approach to police policymakers and i think that is why we have a majority of commissioners appointed by the mayor and minority of the commissioners appointed by the board of supervisors now i'll support debra walker at my

appointment to the police commission by not my appointment the appointment of mayor. and show was taken to task at the rules committee i think largely for supporting the overall approach of the mayor's proposition e. and i don't think that will work like if we're trying to if this body is wrestling control of police department away from the mayor the results will be confusing to the public and in fact, they have been we have seen that this is how that works and for people arguing that our charter needs more functional changes than the modified i think that rebuffing draw your attention and forces the mayor home is a strong

argument the supervisors can't weigh in the sandbox. so again, i feel bad for draw your attention when i was over doing our queer festivities and helping with the raising the pride dmrag she was having a far left experience want to thank her for her service. >> thank you supervisor stefani thank you, president peskin thank you, supervisor dorsey i've known draw your attention for long time and a huge fan the fact you're willing to this job on the police commission is showing how willing to help san francisco i know that was not an easy path to get people to agree to obtain appointed to this commission and one of the things i think you're a breekt of fresh

air i watched 0 many police commission hearings and saw decision and people are antagonistic and rude as rude can be to the public and public servant you're someone that is kind and thoughtful, and someone who wants to know the point of view of the officers who are serving this city i think for the always the case and that is really important and the fact you sat in my office we discussed what we're going to do with the control special unit important to the constituents in my district concerning i'm gratitude you talked about that and to echo who supervisor melgar said the fact you've been so involved in helping us elevate the conversation around thirty by thirty thirty percent

of police force women. i thank you for that and that means we need women on the police commission if you're notary appoint today, we'll own have one that is a travesty. i'm thrilled you're willing to continue to do this work given how the police commission (coughing) and i think i hope you, you have the votes today, you'll continue to serve in an incredible capacity one that is they have and takes other people's opinions take into consideration to heart we're so driven by our own point of view we refuse to listen to others and if you don't think how someone thinks people are so willing to demonize others and thank you for not being that and thank you for being someone who those willing to consider all opinions and show up and do an incredible

job and kind i'm happy to support commissioner walker today. thank you, supervisor walton and debra walker. >> i want to just to be clear, a lot of people are making their own assumptions this is has nothing to do with with policy and commissioners walker and mayor will tell you my colleagues will tell you i walked in that meeting with with every intention of sporting draw your attention until commissioner walker said she didn't believe in some of the duties of a police commission. and so it a doesn't make sense. to me we'll be going back and forth and having a debate about putting someone 1, 2, 3, 4 a position that they don't believe fully in the roll. and we're

going to hear in commissioner walker just to be clear, not about race and sexual orientation and i said commissioner walker she's a great person but it roll for someone that building in police oversight and understand the police are human beings like everyone in the podium and no one it that would be helpful the reason in the chart one of the rolls to set policies for the department and have a body that is made up of folks in the inn law enforcement so this as balance making sure that people on the streets also have their rights. and as we try to keep the city safe i want to just to be clear, assumptions or narratives has nothing to do with why this decision was made

and colleague that voted at the time thank you, president peskin. >> thank you supervisor walton (clearing throat) commissioner walker put words in our own mouth this is a collection an area of the public policy because there are certain things reserved to the law making servants a roll for a police commission to play relative to the promulgations the general orders often done in conjunction with by the police department that is usually how it works but functionally the issue at issue here is whether or not commissioner walker wlag commissioner walkers buildings in the functional roll of van gogh dependant civilian oversight over san francisco

police department as envisioned by the charter to commissioner walker you've been on there a year and a half and maybe can fulfills what you learned and envision as the role of the police commissioncy thank you, president peskin. >> thank you. supervisors for being here. i mean, i know you'd be here anyway but thank you for the support i've been favoring i all but from a lot of the folks in the city. you have been on the police commission for a little bit over one year and a half. and trust me i actually read the charter about the responsibilities of police commission is. and fully believe in those charter mandated responsibilities. including civilian oversight and including

oversight of policy. and especially including doing discipline hearing and those are all related. so i was before the rules committee when what is your name deciding the responsibilities of the commission and as i talked to you all i do see a difference of oversight of policy and the grandular work of the general order mandates. and i feel like since i'm the one doing hearings some of the issues intention with the department are not understanding an 8 page general order that in the clear. or is inconsistent with oat go. part of prop makes it clear so the officers on the street understand that. so the the assumption or interpretation that i don't support sorry about

that oversight is wrong, a lot issues i was discussing the interested and what breath me here i'm interested in working together not just on policing but on alternatives to policing talking about that for decades and what i'm discovering and in the discussion about the police specialize we need a better partnership with our partners the nonpolice partners and need an infrastructure, we need a response acted upon that are not there right now those are all things we have to work on together with the private sector to do. so commissioner president alliance assigned me around patrols and working with the

policing with community members. um, which will help us in dealing with recruiting, you know, the best way to reform so hire i've been active in doing supporting the thirty by to get more women on the force but people from all our commensurate's have been here in the city know the city. >> what is available in a neighborhood each neighborhood as you can see is different and has different needs i believe in all of those things but also feel like we really have to listen to the officers on the street and what is working for them and not that is part of what we need to do here my willing to move forward going forward to bring possibility together around that we have completed submitting our two hundred and 40 reforms to the department of justice those are integrated into our system one

of the more or less reformed department in the country. and want to make sure that continues by making sure infrastructure supports that so - i know the rules committee was i may have and apologize for this i may have like benefit a little bit triggered and wish i was more thick-skinned i'm 71 my skin is getting thinner and thinner but i'm passionate about this i go on ride along and talk to different people we need solutions and stop fighting over this basic thing i'm here and happy to i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> specifically. and, you know, to the issue of the pretext stop discussion, we - when i first got on the commission this was just coming to us and starting to negotiate with the unions been in a meet and confer and

support san francisco in hosting panda bears from the people's republic of china, notwithstanding the behested payment ordinance. supervisor ronen do a recall voided by supervisor ronen what changed were made in committee. >> if i can remember them all but there were some issues raised the first time we heard it and then a number of amendments made. specifically we um, required the code requires

that um, if the entities soliciting the donations payments it is known at the time that that needs to be specified in the resolution and was not we had in preparing for the hearing identify in the mayor's office a list of those who they intended to approach for documentation so one of the main changes was to attach you'll see in the exhibit a a full list of those funds from as well as the nature of what makes them age interested party from a transparency point of view we thought that was important one of the big changes. second chance let me know. >> so an exhibit to the resolution? >> correct that was adam reference to it. and then there

is. >> oh, yeah. >> okay. >> that was for the - the orchestra resolution and the think that is modeled off of this board - passed resolutions not listed and the reason for that because they weren't known at the time the board was asked to approve that here asked they did the mayor's office knew who they're going to approach makes them after interested party one of the significant incidents and second many issues were raised about other conditions at the zoo separate into the pandas and the panda exhibits and to the excellent were efforts to reach out for documentation for capital improvement at the zoo. in folks or front line workers as well as others who reached out of the that was for that in those approaches we have a

potential donor interested in capital improvement zoo that had the payment broad view to solicit donations from other capital needs of the zoo. the third was a significant narrowing of the who was sticking up the language around who was in departments and authorized some concerns raised at the committee around commissioners making point approach to solicit payment that was narrowed as well and finally, i hope i'm not forgetting one but the last was some language we added to try to prevent the situation where um, to the greatest extent potential to prevent the departments that where the interested party relationship exists from being

the one that is approaching the potential donor so the example that came up in committee was united airlines the entity maybe approached we didn't want people from the airlines or from the airport being that is where the interested partnership is to the greatest extent potential to make those approaches not the department has the interested party relationship. i'm happy to go through more but the heart of amendments. >> so looking at this exhibit a i mean so those potentially interested parties that have been actively kasht or lobbying the mayor's office those can be potential - they could be solicited for documentation.

>> they could be and look in the obviously in the nature of the waiver ordinance what we have under the transparency of who is contacted and the nature of the conflicts and waivers last for 6 months; right? and have to come back back in by questions about those we thought comfortable in the economy i do that complies with the ordinance that level of transparency but as you point out and concerns around individual transactions we modified this list to maximize transparent and make sure that is complying with the ordinance; right? but to get at what our asking about i mean some of them that i think if a particular concern about particular entity or conflict that is one thing. if we don't

know yet; right? then would be something i think it comes back from gao in 6 months we'll have to deal with them. >> i mean certain names on the list am i comfortable we're having all the differences with pg&e as they're lobbying the morris and there is city agrees asking them for money at the didn't feel right. >> anyway, thank you for your work. >> narrowing it. >> on item 70 a roll call please. item 70. >> commissioner walton, aye. >> supervisor dorsey on item 70 as, aye. >> supervisor engardio, aye. >> supervisor mandelman, aye. >> supervisor melgar, aye.

>> president peskin, no. >> supervisor preston, aye. >> supervisor ronen, no. >> supervisor safai, aye. >> supervisor stefani, aye. >> supervisor walton, aye. >> there are 9 ayes and two nos with supervisor mandelman and supervisor ronen voted no and the rise is donations to offset the devastating impact these reductions will have on working families, children and youth citywide. recycling. >> on item 71 combhrnd, aye. >> supervisor dorsey, aye. >> supervisor engardio, aye. >> supervisor mandelman, aye. >> murder in the third degree,

issue to create or rehabilitate seven hundred and 50 low income housing we welcome this news and the announcement provides a pathway for deeply housing units are permanent subsidies in san francisco and major step forward the housing authority was transmitted to the transportation authority and called for by the boards resolution so i'm glad that the resolution created urgency on that and motivating action and our goal to make sure the city is leveraging more affordable housing and the housing authority community impact statements of seven hundred and 50 new units an important step and fell short that the housing authority could, you know, u unlock under the federal programs specifically san francisco has the opportunity as we noted in context to create up

to three thousand plus new deeply affordable housing that is subsidized if perpetuity by hud. a great opportunity for the city. so make sure we are on track to fully utilize this opportunity i'm introducing a hear request on san francisco youth of the fair cloth to radically program for is housing units and want to thank my chief of staff for the team and the national law project for lending expertise to help guide at council of the community housing for their strong support and lastly, to the san francisco housing authority and the mayor's office for the mayor's office of housing and community development for their collaboration on this. and second, colleagues, i'm today introducing a resolution in support of the fantastic

visitacion valley and the bayview among others and across the board when speaking with my fellow supervisors have ambassadors in their district there is nothing but praise for the hargd and outreach they provide and that is the same thing and consistent what we hear reinvent the wheel from the residents and the businesses in any integrity from i'm hard priced to see a universal praise. coughing the community berry program is the only city run non-police program in the city and county of san francisco and the dozens of ambassadors in the programs are residents the neighborhood many of the ambassadors are bilingual and each ambassador team is tailored to meet the needs of the community. the impact on the neighborhoods can't be overstated and you can find

ambassadors wearing the bright yell jackets assisted living facility merchant and robert emergencies or crime and hazard and street condition issues with over dozens (coughing) and conducting wellness checks those ambassadors work diligently and effecting to meet the needs of the consent calendar and the first bridge between the community and the city they provide critical jobs and job training for san franciscans our resolution will put the boards on record supporting the ambassador program and calling for it to be continued. unfortunately, the mayors budget seeks to eliminate the program and frankly that is not acceptable. i want to it thank the staff ambassadors for your dictation and tour patience everyday on the streets of san francisco. that makes our community more save and saves

lives and i'm cautiously optimistic that board will honor that work both for the resolution and hopefully by preserving the program at the. thank you, again. co-sponsors and jennifer and phil of manufacturing my offers and last but not least i'm asking for a resolution for justice for renters as a november 24th state ballot measure to repeal the old restrictions on local rent control imposed by the hawkins rental act written in 1995 by the california realtors and does not meet the housing and that

preeminence protects in san francisco is a major barrier to housing affordability and casta hawkins did for the cover tenants and strengthen protection for example, bans the rent control laws to cover condominiums and leaving thousands and thousands of renters without the protections other tenants joys and puts rent control after june 1979, 86 thousand of units and exempt from the costing to hawkins and from having a vacancy control a stronger than system that rent control the initiative rent is regulated and vacancy opposed by

the lion will allow the city to control the rental practice many cities have before kay to hawkins and under allowing tenants to hike rents when a new tenancies begins and not only in san francisco but creating a financial envelope for corp landowners to pressure long time tenants to vacate their rent controlled unit this provision has been another tool for displacement we've seen in the rental prices and note the san francisco board of supervisors has previously demonstrated its support in recent years for the

repeal of kay to hawkins and recognize president peskin and for your leadership both of them putting forward resolutions putting the city on record in support of repeatedly kay to hawkins in 2017 the board unanimously passed a resolution supporting california assembly bill 1406 by assembly member bloom that repeals in committee and again in 2018 this body supported the california proposition 10 the affordable housing act. which would have repealed causing to hawkins and substantially another one in 2020 defeated by massive amounts of extending to preserve kay to hawkins to the tune of one

hundred and $75 million from the real estate and part-time association fortunately colleagues this issue is back on the ballot this time with the justice for renters act stronger support in rent control cities to pass please join me in supporting this and the justice for renters and repeal kay to hawkins 0 is local improvements including here in san francisco, california take strong action to protect the tenants and thank you, lee in my office and the rest i submit and supervisor engardio. >> i just wanted to briefly say why i wholeheartedly support those resolutions to honor our community ambassadors. and hope we can keep them in san

francisco. they do an invaluable service not sunset and a shorter story we had an incident at a preschool and the parents were on edged and extreme shortage of police officers in the carville station didn't have the ability to monitor the area the way the parents wanted to the communities ambassadors in yellow jaeblths showed up and gave peace of mind to the parents that helped the community a lot so this is an enrollment how we can make a city that works for everyone and this program is incidentally valuable i hope we honor it and preserve it. >> thank you supervisor ronen. >> colleagues, i'm introducing a motion an imperfect item i did pass it out to each one of you to wave the deadline and authorize the charter amendment
