suggestions forward to improving the survivors place in the city those survivors need the help of sharp for community care for the trauma they experienced and at the time of legislation not a place for a sharp office but director sheryl davis accepted it in the greater hrc portfolio and sharp did important work in the community providers in need to wrap around services and in early may called on sharp to see if improvements for the city law enforcement agencies. and what we learned at the hearing sharp was not meeting and priority any policy recommendation. despite the important work we're pursuing not doing the work mandated for the legislation and

in making the city more hospitable and i announce i was going to introduce legislation after many discussions with the supervisor supervisor stefani we merged into one. the organization b w r legislation include the necessary changes for the legislation. first we're officially moving sharp from them to o b w r with both officers mandates with the i'm excited and second language that classifies the powers of sharp office increase in legislation sharp employees are responsible for providing assistance to survivors for sexual harassment and navigating any city processes helping the survivors and accompanying them to law

joining us and supervisor dorsey bringing they're perspective into the hearing. which really, really is helpful i think at the end of last week was something made clear to me as a committee chair. um, is that we are in a very dire situation with the budget legislative analyst has the work ahead. >> how to mar that the city budget is going to be there for all san franciscans. come january 2025. and instruction looking at staff management and contract convenience, welfare, and necessity whatever to bring in the budget spending and consider ways and one thing that is clear to me that can continue as usual. if we keep that rate of spending as proposed by mayor

london breed, we're going to face and fiscal cliff come january 2025 not acceptable. and clearly that the budget it budget before us so together just to get us through until november. and - but so - if we don't change course at that moment, we're going to face the fiscal cliff will force us to cuts to our staffing and operation and also the services that our community partners have to provide. so um, for that reason i also just want to give an work to show why everyone can contribution really counts and every dollar counts at that moment and shout out to supervisor dorsey when we

learned about the health board 3e6k around the care and understanding that, you know, there was a process and to really make sure we go with that result and more efficient contract a better contract not just financially by provide quality services for the retirees they deserve will save the city of $7 million for the three fiscal year and that is not just the city of san francisco but our united district 200 and $4 million deficit during the discussion of schools closure and that is involving facts and circumstances its budget crises. so all i want to say thank you, supervisor dorsey and you mayor

and appointee i didn't see making sure we are making this sound decision for the system so thank you, that the the decision and that vote came down today to allow us and not again having any type dependently result for the system that's not question shouldn't stop right there but everyone has to contribute and step up asking the city workers just as providers and the community partners they need to do more with less. so should we and this coming days this week we'll evaluate all the reductions by the budget panelists but every single thing but i think this is the moment that we ought to be evaluating what the nice to have and what is necessary. if i'm seeing and i am seeing those cuts like or

helpful food access for the students and families and seniors this is a moment of decision for all of us so the first series of the decisions i'm going to ask to consider as a body and the members i am really asking us to put our money to lead as leaders of the city and do right by the people to lead by example and 10 percent of our salary in reserve to show that it the mayor or board of supervisors the city heads and all elected this is a moment we have solidarity to problem solve together collectively about this fiscal year we must face in june 2025 after the budget analyst process

good afternoon manpower and thank you very much. president peskin for the recognition of the ambassador program. i just before i pass the mic to the manager i just want to share some words how i monitored and work on that not o 234078 an inspiration what we bring to the table but generally want to deputy the community they're out there intentionally thoughtful how they gave me the residents and visitors and they are a vital component of the city and the organization and community itself and i think that they not only make sure that visitors rather than merchant have to recognize the service by trust in the city and community they play a huge very vital roll

overall and want to insure that um, as and they work with the community and also out there making sure people are aware of the services we have to offer and also david will share about the impacts. but they're an incredible team i'm inspired and as you learn more about that you'll release how inspirational and with that, i will pass it over to david but a shout out to my team a shout out to the operations team with the program and to every single ambassador who is here thank you for your service and commitment. and you are in the city so - >> (clapping) good afternoon, supervisors today and stand before to

highlight the program. and the program is more than in addition to a lifeline and an opportunity for san francisco natives to dive into city government and he receive development and training learn about the professional skills but leadership abilities as in human traumas this is a job a really leadership program one that holds impacted the community members and champions and ambassadors are coaches and mentors and neighborhoods and allies to the community we serve this year alone we've lost over 200 and 70 thousand interactions with over 20 percent of those in languages other than english and with the approach over 60

percent of team we bridge communications gaps and fair market value trust and other finding of the rich cultures of san francisco neighborhood and they are trained in violence and deesclation and interpretation and best practices and city services and over a dozen other services. both within and outside the city as a training to serve the community with empathy and efficiency and that creates an xfrz literally creating change and a roll model and follow the peers for a better united san francisco. and in short the copy the core volume of san francisco and the capacities and diversities are not lost and stand as cornerstone of safety and include inclusivity and leadership we have a more

productive scope so thank you, supervisors (clapping).

comment is closed and madam clerk, call the adoption for the reference calendars. >> introduced for adoption without reference and vote is required for adoption on first reading today and alternating and member may ask for a resolution informing to the community committee. >> i'd like to serve item 49 an item 49. okay. >> the balance of the calendar i believe we have. >> same house, same call. (gavel) and those items are adopted. madam clerk please call item 49. >> to support the justice for renters act proposition on the november 5, 2024, and ballot for repeal of castro hawkins act.

>> supervisor stefani. >> colleagues, i take a look at this item and decided to separate is out i can't support this as a introduce begin hours - with tony striking listen sees - convert are championship this ballot measure and it is not because they believe that will reduce the affordable housing but it is bruce because it will freeze quickly needed homes and more affordability and opportunities for all californians. councilmember striking listen statewide

resident is ludicrous idea and the language goes further local governments protects from the state housing policy and therefore overreaching enforcement it is what caused champions like tony and assembly member to oppose this particular measure and in her opposition tony stated the following conspiring with wealthy city's for the lying to voter about it is worse and this initiative is one giant loophole let's select left lane governments off the hook more affordable housing and opens the door to erase progress on housing over the last two years. all i can say don't be fooled and so senator tony atkins said that and

additionally assembly member was a champion lofrm reform for castro hawkins made it chair that that measure will - like those two legislators i support this and our right for counsel for tenants and support the statutory for rent controlled units and more. i support tools to prevent displacement for peers and people with disabilities and as supervisor melgar pointed out in the ordinance a critical component of housing affordability for seniors is building more supply for seniors to downsize and age in place and in my district i have and will continue to support building units affordable for seniors to call

home that measure hover exhibits this process and doesn't help address housing affordability why the council for the action coalition two groups have opposing this and undermines the housing ordinance we agree more housing opportunities are needed for households across low income and extreme low income and ports the agenda does not support the protection across california and let's wealthy people like huntington beach and beverly hills stop this we need housing policies for the future one that creates homes for seniors for children to live closure to the homes they're raised. i will

support legislation ballot measures forgotten the goal this proposition is not the solution the reason i'll be opposing today's resolution and deter to this has whether we want to make a resolution to continue for a week or take a vote today, i want to note adoption without committee references will be i said that route and not no special interest in neither uncontiguous up given the republicans up and down the state wanted this to pass. so for those reasons i will not support in item today. thank you. >> k34r78dz before supervisor preston i'm hooking the four pages of justice for renters

actions that looks to me i find as a repeal of the castro hawkins seems tobacco and replyed with one to act or expand residential rent control i want to figure out - i don't care who that supports it and does well, anyway - and committee. >> no, no for this to go through my research but can't interfere in the local government and didn't say they have to do it anyways i'm trying to understand where those people are coming from and supervisor

preston. >> thank you president peskin and thank you for pointing out with what the justice for renters it is of the like a different act was described i understand the industry has keenly opposed the castro hawkins and has stoeptd the removal from sacramento going to the ballot to repeal the castro hawkins but the ballot measure as you point out the castro hawkins rental housing from state law. and while some my find that controversial i understand the industry positions that board has taken in two separate resolutions over the years and the only issue for

renters act is whether to repeal castro hawkins for those less familiar are castro hawkins restricted what kind of rent control you can have and can be repealed and not actually change anything will simply will allow to actually have a discussion about whether we should have rent control. and been around for 45 years and right now we're band to discuss whether it is empty should be able to triple the rent on the next tenant so the only issue is whether to continue to be preempted and

done this work for over 20 years in california and the act that is a republic is laughable and republicans have been since the package of castro hawkins and fully united behind castro to hawkins and just to be clear, i think if we want to continue it and take this up we can have a more substantive conversation but to rebut really a lot of misinformation and really disappointed the first time i brought a resolution in reference to despite the reference to every reference we didn't receive one member of this body cattle supervisor engardio to maybe have it continued which we discussed.

this is the first, i'm of any other opposition and i could have corrected any misunderstanding about the resolution in fact, it didn't do so the conversations had occurred before. just to be clear, castro hawkins is operating exactly as it was designed to operate. and this is to keep rents high and just stop cities from implementing stronger rent control bring rents down so our resolution will put the city on record in support of the act to repeal castro hawkins for rent control notice a surprise we got a letter i didn't do from the association of real estate and developers of california and all indian in opposition as always

to any attempts to allow the cities to expand the rent control. now very committed to the rents variable to maximize the profit we would have a tool in come cal to make housing more affordable and cart hawkins will repeal. so why every tenant group in the state of california supports this measure every tenant group in san francisco supports in measure and affordable housing group other than the housing action with the lobbying group lobbying for maximum profits and affordable housing for this. and why wouldn't they be a repeal of state exemption and the cities the power for discussions of

what the local rent control is look like and run away rents and so i think if the will the body clearly not support happy to have it continued and go down at a future hearing and any fair enough discussions so often in our housing discussion those days pro housing and anti housing and sometimes that framing i'll tell you nothing that posed the question of anti rent control and pose that question more clearly than whether i support of the repeal of castro hawkins and real estate association of realtors still has handcuffed cities we can lower rents and apply represent control to over one

hundred thousand units in san francisco and you support rent control and oppose the ballot measures the biggest barrier the castro hawkins rent i believe that is just to be clear, not controversial and have a continued. in the will of the body. >> thank you supervisor melgar. >> thank you. >> president peskin and just guess we're going to continue it with the - i am a co-more than and very much building in the and public library against the analysis you just shared supervisor preston i did it myself a strong tenant advocate. have been much of my career i believe we should have rent

controlled housing and provides to outsource that including ours and in this generation sunshine to be sort of drawing the world as a pro-housing anti renter program, you know, i think that that didn't serve us well. i have seen the numbers from a bunch of folks in the industry but, you know, i've seen the sort of developers performas and rent control is market-rate housing on day one and is affordable not a deternlt for development and secret of the certificate of occupancy in terms of numbers it is mistake

for those of us to pro housing to have anti rent control is against the generation we're trying to make sure they have housing in san francisco and i'm not going to opine over the strategy of people around california but a few places in california we have rent control we are one of them and protecting the spots we have it is a gain it is old before 1979 and focused more and this is a path to it and we should be building more period which what i believe so thank you, i guess we're to continue that at week but wanted to make sure that, you know, like we talk about this analysis not too sides but. >> universe we are pro rent or pro rent control so, thank you.

>> supervisor dorsey thank you, president peskin and the point about we can be pro-active for pro housing i'm not supporting this ballot measure. >> i have many familiarity with employed by the sponsor of though michael because i worked against proposing 60 in 2016 and that failed measure was in any verify this one is too the single line in the measure goes behind the castro hawkins is the one that takes the state out of field of any sort of management or use of rent control and what that will do is it would empower that bad actors statewide and

besides they have obligates and we're trying to do having a better way to expand and states legislation - done by david chiu and in the assembly and would set limits on available rent hikes by the balancing the production by supervisor stafani mentioned the city counsels in huntington beach is talking about say to people the headlines of that political art is republicans for rent control basically web anyone wishing to speak, if no objection, receive and file this measure saying the state can't do anything with rent control and maybe a situation we're going

have - this was it was stated by city council strickland. and this will enable them - so i think that one line that one sentence beyond the castro hawkins is the problem that's why i'm not not that concludes my report. this resolution. >> where's is that? >> all i see that the castro hawkins act is fully eliminated

i see one 95.552 the castro hawkins act that is stricken out and one 95.4 may not limit the city and county to maintain an act or expand residential rent control that line is. >> taking the state completing out of this and including the local governments could be bad actors and it what would be by impacting that makes housing production and i think the c side resort this is. >> (multiple voices). >> local governments. >> (multiple voices). >> they're only. >> the local governments is

taking the - the state is preempting local governments from impacting rent control not a woman on the moon or man on mars but local governments from being able to expand rent control in 1995 this is a left lane governments can impact rent control i don't know how you're reading that. >> you know what. >> we'll get a city attorney opinion. >> is there motion to continue this. >> i intend to make that motion and going to make another comment and make a motion. >> what you said there is no provision like i feel like i'm watching a discussion not in the board of supervisors chambers

but what the act does and you read the language that repeals the preemption of rent control laws locally that's it and the fact you find a republican out there who might characterize the as a discussion is seriously we think that like republicans cities are few going to be adopting like strong rent control (laughter) california i just don't know how to respond. i get that i think this is a good state discussion what the scope of rent control should be; right? and like myself others who three may want to carve out things but the problem with the castro hawkins we don't get to have that the conversation we repeal castro

hawkins and maybe have a discussion and a different view something built in 1992 should be covered in rent control or though should be restrictions on a castro hawkins we can have that discussion before castro hawkins cities could have a discussion and preempt that repealing it does free up the scope of our own rent control laws so look i don't disagree with the concept of anybody of houses for pro rent control, of course, you know, of course, you're to be pr rent control and pro housing whatever that means and more affordable housing and any kind of housing but you can't be and with all due respect, this work for 25 years

i've never really seen people taking this position it feels like california maybe want to take some members of body they're flavor of rent control but that ties the city's hands three does make sense really didn't why would you, you have a state preeminence of rent control if you're in favor of rent control i think i can have a pro-rent control and support state laws that does that make sense i'm happy to continue and i'm sure we'll be discussing this. >> motion to continue supervisor ronen. thank you. so flabbergasted and i have to - chime.

and the reason i grew up in a rent controlled section and born in 1975 and didn't have three rent controlled apartment she wouldn't my dad would have been homeless bus you have our shitty rent controlled apartment in los angeles now costs double the amounts for the people that move in any father didn't end up homeless on the street that is real. when the state limits our ability as local legislators to impact rent control for people means and people end up homeless homeless on the streets that could be me and my family that is person to me the fact issuing detransportation authority the plain language of the law for

those are we in trump land saying a fact is not a fact and all the legislative says that it was read on the state may not maintain or expand residential rent control they can't limit united states from expanding rent control. how you get this is a republican this is like - this is a law that san francisco sends city government has figured out for time and time and time again, because no laws to protect poor people a law to protect my family when we grew up so we wouldn't be homeless and anything else is disgusting on my family that is gross i a

can't believe we're having this discussion right now i find it, it is insulting. >> supervisor dorsey. >> it is pantly false it is opposition to rent control what it does so write 0 state law beyond the reach of the legislature and change the state laws may not have form of rent control is flips this script local government repreempts so they don't have the protection of state legislature to stop this and - >> (multiple voices.) >> that was in 1995 the state-

>> (multiple voices). >> always reserved until the industry bought off the state government we can argue about that all day by really that board voted my name is to actually oppose this expansion of autonomous we go into that several weeks ago and here we're going to support in legislative for 20 years of dominance that is that 3r0u7b8d let's not debate if here today but continuing vote next week. >> sorry i encourage people political and twenty-four hour the headlines is responds for represent control and goes into the reasons for an opportunity to web news i support represent

control and supervisor is not true. >> i think i think i'll trying wrap any head around 2 this would be used for republican will impact rent control in order to stop development. is that the concept here? >> all right. >> we've been that as a matter of policy we had a charter amendment we considered 6 years ago i concerned that and we'll not do that here today and supervisor stafani thank you, president peskin and first thank from my colleagues supervisor melgar for showing her class for opinions and actually be good

people and believe in rent control and have issues with that. i'm literally seeing didn't want to put my name on the roster but refuse to error and demonized because i have a different solution to a problem to say i don't care i'm not going to sit here and take that. i refuse i've done that for 6 and a half years and not sit here saying i don't care about people like senator tony atkins and others two women in the california state legislature that raised issues about that and ask later on what you're saying president peskin. i'm not

sitting here and have someone tell you me that i don't care about poor people and rent control because i'm asking questions. god so sick of that. and i think you're ideas president peskin let the city attorney tell us i for god sakes we raise issues people broderick street to us, we demonize others i'm tired of that people who watch us here are tired of that local levels and state and national level. i swear to god i've taken it and thank you, supervisor melgar we're thinking about that and walk out today, i i think we'll still be friends that's how to should be i agree with you and reading this

differently based on the information that was provided to me and i'm and person that cares about people i'm tired of it. i want to continue that supervisor walton and vote on the motion. >> thank you president peskin i tried to sit here and not say anything i know but i do want to say for the record the castro to hawkins repeal is the first priority and has been the number one priority for years. for people who believe in rent control and we make statement like a policy will go beyond the legislature or we don't want the voters to vote? >> i don't get it who made this is the legislature god in

the first place that's the reason we have ballot measures people make laws including us and make mistakes. and not having the ability to local any make decisions about rent control most certainly have played and major roll in increasing rents in san francisco and look i know we're in the middle of - and people are made people are getting money and i got it so act like we do do policies in this role let's be serious and everything about all 11 of us is based on politics and it is what it is we got put in the position and fight for the community we represent and we can - i don't want the false information out that trying to repeal castro

hawkins is anything but marshall rent control it didn't continue to exist and certainly can play a role to increase the amount of rent control we currently have in any situation so thank you, president peskin. >> thank you and supervisor preston in the future for votes without reference items we're going to continue them or send them to committee president peskin last words and continue this. >> i appreciate this i'll say again, a body that has taken this position repeatedly and until the day not hear a single wood from a single colleague we check in with every office would you committee reference on something if this is a dispute

and to that end had a nice conversation with one colleague couldn't support this so present to continue that but in any suggestion that just some of the exclaims have been made we can continue the item and i've had countless conversations with people who have a different view on rent control and a different view think castro hawkins i respect the suggestions that that some of acrimonious is about a different view and plenty of people that point limits on rent control. and i've, you know, known for years talked to for years. and had preview conversations i think

what is important and i'm not here to say i don't care on this board i do think we have an obligation to be honest and don't think portraying a measure or talking about as if it didn't do i think that is don't do service to the public so hopefully we can express our views and have our openings on rent control and vote on it when it returns to the board. >> all right. a motion and second to continue the item. >> mr. president who is second. >> seconded with supervisor ronen and no objection this item is continued one week and madam clerk read memoriams. >> today will be 34 memory the following individuals on behalf

was born. >> working with kids in the ocean that aren't familiar with this space is really special because you're dealing with a lot of fear and apprehension but at the same time, a lot of excitement. >> when i first did it, i was, like, really scared, but then, i did it again, and i liked it. >> we'll get a group of kids who have just never been to the beach, are terrified of the idea, who don't like the beach. it's too cold out, and it's those kid that are impossible to get back out of the water at the end of the day. >> over the last few years, i think we've had at least 40 of our students participate in the

city surf project. >> surfing helped me with, like, how to swim. >> we've start off with about two to four sessions in the pool before actually going out and surfing. >> swimming at the pool just helps us with, like, being, like, comfortable in the water and being calm and not being all -- not being anxious. >> so when we started the city surf project, one of the things we did was to say hey, this is the way to earn your p.e. credits. just getting kids to go try it was one of our initial challenges for the first year or two. but now that we've been doing it three or four years, we have a group of kids that's consistent, and the word has spread, that it's super fun, that you learn about the ocean. >> starting in the morning, you know, i get the vehicles ready, and then, i get all the gear

together, and then, i drive and go get the kids, and we take them to a local beach. >> we usually go to linda mar, and then occasionally ocean beach. we once did a special trip. we were in capitola last year, and it was really fun. >> we get in a circle and group stretch, and we talk about specific safety for the day, and then, we go down to the water. >> once we go to the beach, i don't want to go home. i can't change my circumstances at home, but i can change the way i approach them. >> our program has definitely been a way for our students to find community and build friends. >> i don't really talk to friends, so i guess when i started doing city surf, i started to, like, get to know people more than i did before, and people that i didn't think

i'd like, like, ended up being my best friends. >> it's a group sport the way we do it, and with, like, close camaraderie, but everybody's doing it for themselves. >> it's great, surfing around, finding new people and making new friendships with people throughout surfing. >> it can be highly developmental for students to have this time where they can learn a lot about themselves while negotiating the waves. >> i feel significantly, like, calmer. it definitely helps if i'm, like, feeling really stressed or, like, feeling really anxious about surfing, and i go surfing, and then, i just feel, like, i'm going to be okay. >> it gives them resiliency skills and helps them build self-confidence. and with that, they can use that in other parts of their

lives. >> i went to bring my family to the beach and tell them what i did. >> i saw kids open up in the ocean, and i got to see them connect with other students, and i got to see them fail, you know, and get up and get back on the board and experience success, and really enjoy themselves and make a connection to nature at the same time. >> for some kids that are, like, resistant to, like, being in a mentorship program like this, it's they want to surf, and then later, they'll find out that they've, like, made this community connection. >> i think they provided level playing fields for kids to be themselves in an open environment. >> for kids to feel like i can go for it and take a chance that i might not have been willing to do on my own is really special. >> we go on 150 surf outings a

year. that's year-round programming. we've seen a tremendous amount of youth face their fears through surfing, and that has translated to growth in other facets of their lives. >> i just think the biggest thing is, like, that they feel like that they have something that is really cool, that they're engaged in, and that we, like, care about them and how they're doing, like, in general. >> what i like best is they really care about me, like, i'm not alone, and i have a group of people that i can go to, and, also, surfing is fun. >> we're creating surfers, and we're changing the face of surfing. >> the feeling is definitely akin to being on a roller coaster. it's definitely faster than i think you expect it to be, but it's definitely fun. >> it leaves you feeling really, really positive about

what that kid's going to go out and do. >> i think it's really magical almost. at least it was for me. >> it was really exciting when i caught my first wave. >> i felt like i was, like -- it was, like, magical, really. >> when they catch that first wave, and their first lights up, you know -- their face lights up, you know you have them hooked. >> i was on top of the world. it's amazing. i felt like i was on top of the world even though i was probably going two miles an hour. it was, like, the scariest thing i'd ever done, and i think it was when i got hooked on surfing after
