budget g, but i do have a few questions about this. last contract amendment was approved, the sheriff ■iliance monitoring of the pretri diversion project financial condition and governance and review ofthe financial statements through june 2023 and the assessment found pretile was generally in compliance with city standabut recommend the city provide technical assistance to improve the budget development fiscal policies and procedures and compliance with public ■ñ access standards and to my knowledge this is not yet done. this shouldn't be a shock i'm bringing this up around ongoing isi have with pretrial not of course within the way in which data while pretrial [indiscernible] with respect to safety and appeancerates are extremely high in the 90,

there regarding the validity that data. that was brought up three years ago in 2021 after there validation study. moreover, it recommended in that up more then three years ago, san francisco establedplan to revalidate the public safety assessment tool. no such plan exists as of today. also, pretrial is ou compliance with sb36, which requires the study to be done every three years, and as of junes"2024, the pretrial population had dropped to 121, which is 64 percent decrease. e in cost are due to significant rent increases not out, which perple me given our office rent situation, an icodotally office rents are

down and dont seem to be in a tight market space for that, so i'm a little confused. i tried to get the information so i could better know how i was going to vote today but do all the information. in 2021, like i said, i voiced my reservation about the contract nd reiterated the concerns during the vote of the contract 4th amendment which is asked for to again, address significant nt increases. at that time, i felt there are response to policy recommendation made in the state required valion public safety accessment authored the public policy lab. despite contract amendments and additional funding i continue to question the validity of the pr etrial conversion da and efforts to reduce bias and validation remain unimplemented. while i was encouraged by the

januy discussion and recommendations made to the bla to improve fiscal and programmatic motoamendment woul towards algerent increase through 2026. i concerned about the non compliance of nate bill 36 whic validation study every year is not done, so for those reasons ■]i no on this contract amendment today. >> thank you supervisor stefani. supervisor chan. >> thank you president peskin. just wanted to clarify that during the budget ■nance committee, it was clear to us that the--i clearly for the ents

amendments that it caem out to committee without recommendation and until now it■ was actually recommended by the budget and legislative analyst to approve this contract amendment before you today. it is as indicated in the budget and legislative analyst report as presented during the buet and finance committee that the assessment found gener with the city standards. clearly we still want the city to provide a technical assistance and the city as the sheriff department to development, fiscal policies and this is all on the fmge9 of the budget and legislative analyst report and al icate that, the sheriff office ■mfiscal compliance monitoring, including a review

audit financial statements of th pretrial diversion project. so, it was with that budget and finance committee with recommendation, so i do urge your support. it is critical element to our criminal justice system to have this continue onperfect, like many things that came before us that the city's continuing attention to this matter and to th is none the less a very critical to sure we keep holding people accountable, but allowing them to have a program h the court system, so thank you. >> thank you suis madam clerk, roll call, please. >> on item isor ronan, aye. supervisor safa, supervisor stefani, no.

resolution. >> supervisor melgar. >> thank you colleagues, this item came out with a positive recommendation out of the budget committee and i wanted to explain a little bit, because those who have been on the board more then four years remember this item. it is a legacy business, a gas station that is at the verytop of the hill at the boarder between istr 8 and 7, and ecessor, norman yee, brought this the board prior. when pervisor i started worked with the business owner to this is city owned land that was leased thfor 30 years, and the state requiring all gas stations, all through the state to a little more environmentally friendly, which this r will be required to do. in order to do that needed a longer lease to amortize the cost of doing that,

so, in all that, folks at we purpose the land to build affordable housing do other things then sell gas which i agree with as a environmental ist. the issue is i went to the mayor of we build affordable housing here. we cannot. it doesn't support it. it is very odd shaped site, which the number of units. if we take federal money has to go through ceqa an cleaned up and will be expensive. garden or retail, none is feasible. , the state of california seeing the problem throughout the ste working with the federal government has made a pot of money available for owners like this one to trsi we don't have a bio fuel station on the have and you know, this gives

us a opportunity to transition into that. so, what is before you today isr ■d that, it is a lease. predicated the clerk said, on acceptance of the grant from the state to transitio that is a requirement of the lease. in addition to that, the ase requires cleanup at the end of the lease which is so i do think that havid tires on thiso make--i have explored all the other options. i do-we are bringing in front of you day, i think it is a good my fear is this, we have heard from ronmental groups who have a have this be sale of can i have the experience of having

juvenile justice center that is emy and owned by the city now that has been plagued withsquatters, fires, graffiti, garbage, and this site right at the boarder of d8 and d7 is one of the most vi■5si it is what every tourist bus see going up twin peaks and i do not want to have that be the legacy we leave behind. that is also not a good way to convince people to change their be and do environmentally sound things so i real really ask for your support. >> thank you supervisor melgar. supervisor preston. >> thank you president peskin and i just want to say, i appreciate supervisor melgar's efforts to impthe proposal for this site. i know her office put considerable work into th/wis and think it is grateful improved from what was before

issues, i always noticed how you remain involved and on top of the projects we are working on. it nof outsourcing or connecting with the right ■1 attorney, somehow and dont know how you manage to , but 11, you are part of the teof strate part of top of cussions and staying on making sure we have these ordinances ready to go and any advice we need and advice, appriat but the follow-through in that regard, so i want ■to just really thank you for doing an incredible job over an you are staying at thcity attorney's office and moving to what i guess in some ways i think your returning to a lot of ur wo around health and

colleagues, just want to say a few words about the first responder student loan d ongoing education fund p. dont want to belabor the pointof con in the chamber about the dire situation that our staffing shortages and critical positions in our city c9for first responders. all which have been named in the title. 911, me police and firefighter. the public safety and ined now we need to create incentives to prevent insure we can attract and retain excellent qualified candidates to serve our city public safety ecosystem. this fund will provide real financial relief by vetanding student loan and job related ucat3t these city employees that

were named. count on every single day and we must zp prioritize proper staffing levels and so to qualify for be hired into one of these roles beginninhence the attraction piece and cont working full time for at least three years before they would be able to access the fund. the goal is to start this fund with at least the hope is to get it up to $25 million, so that each person would have up to about $25 thousand in debt. just to be clear, this is not a aside. this is a priority in the coming months next year for the budget process for this board and the mayor, but i do think it also creates a opportunity í;z3for lean in.

when i think why we want to put this on the ballot and i had conversations with many of you, part of the reason is when we look what prop i was able to do, ough it was not a maedallocation, it changed the conversation he chamber over the last number of years. kudos to supervisor preston for more money towards affordable housing and housing development and housing acquisition. kudos to supervisor engardio for pushing the conversation around algebra. even though it was not a set aside. it put pressure on the scdistri to move forward in that conversation. i also thk about when we many years ago supervisor ronan lea conver about mental health sf and there was an idea that it would go to the ballot at the

time, but as part of those conversations it didn't, and i have think this mayor has ever made a ll commitment to mental health sf. never been fully or leaned into and we continue to see that suffering on the street today, so as part of the reason why i think it is important th the voters of san francisco have a opportunity to weigh in on this and tement. i like to thank my lead cosponsor who was not able to make it today, but supervisor walton has been a stark and strong supporter and then more recently, supervisor dory. for your cosponsorship. i hope you vote to put this i francisco deserve a opportunity to weigh in on this conversation. thank you. >> i will explain why an pass t

with this ordinance we aim to be a model for local governments aroundthand regulating this insidious use of technolo■gy lead on air bnb and short-term rental and other questionable business practicee prohousing policy and entirely consistent housing market that meets our real housing needs. let's build housing for renters, not for real estate investors. end this legislation to you . >> is >> i like to be added as a cosponsor. >> thank you supervisor dorsey. seeing no other names on the is same call. the time when this agenda was created this was ■xcommittee report. the committee meeting had not yet happened.

has been tremendously successful in our city. the way we build affordable housing in the city needs to change. right now the mayor's office of housing has a bidding process that is opaque and often times not very competitive. our intent is to increase competition by changing policy to require more competitive bidding for the job and that fl adding to the city wide project labor agreement.been shown bla have een shown the steady pool of workers and insure decent wages, quality workforce and on time and in budget. a recent labor center study showed the los angeles labor agreement for measure hhh actually

controls cost because it helps bring projects in on ime and on budget. also, our experience with the city wide pla and olthe sfpuc and francisco airport shows covered bye pla have more performance for local hire, apprenticeship utilization work with our small businesses or lbe's that are not covered under normal pla's. pla's have shown to create a steady pool of workers an wages and quality workforce in addition m issues. we need to find innovate our housing construction without eroding labor standards and i believe this ordinance will help us paying construction workers the good wages and befits

entitled to into attract more young people we are dustry and insure that solidifying working and middle class family work in this city. the industry desperately needs to expand meet the 80 thousand unit goal with 50 percent affordable to working families. we can expand the workforce and maintaining the threshold for businesses and minority contractors to access the work as well their businesses over time. so, this ordinance hes us do that. i look forward to working with my colleagues. i having robust conversation with our local businesses, robust conversation with labor contractors and builrs on those conversations have started and new conversations around financing models and looking at and controlling for cost

colleagues, today i is a couple gsings to introduce that we can work on after the break. the stis a piece of legislation i have been wanting to write e on the planning commission to better protect controlled units that have tenants living in it and are going through renovations. something that we have i have been wanting to rite this legislation along with my aid jennifer ebwas with the tenant union at the time because we saw ma come in front of the planning commission and didn't have the so, i cases of unscrupulous who applied permits to redesign-renovate a building or submitting false information to the

planning department that says there is noz un it is rented with tenants in them d rent controlled. sometimes tenants knew about kn was happening. there had plan for permit submitted for their homes. since there is no real registry for renters yet, planning f would just rely on honor sysm there a tenant and if somebody says no they take their wo for it. so, in the past this had happened repeatedly. i acknowledge sf ■khas gotten better, but we do not have a system per se to check this, so despite stuff that happened at the state in the inclusion ofisinsome of the streamlining bills at the state, san francisco still doesn't have full proof way

to uncover whether tenants are living in a place that are going through permit process for renovation and there are ways people game the system. this legislation helps insure the permit application accurately portrays the existing condition the building today, such as the presence a unauthorized dwelling unit and tenant in the unit. it creates penalties for those who omit or mislead in the applications. i have always been a strong proponent oferant control and we need to protect the tenant and the units and i hope that work on this and that this becomes a tool in the future. i also introducing something i have been working on quite some time, which is overdue fix to the bmr home owof the bmr

home ownership program is support low and middle income residents who would be priced out of ■san francisco with ability to buy a home and build some equity over time. typically the units are a good on the investment, a very good return on investmentch much lower then putting down a down payment the market, but when th few years sinc in some areas, the system have is inflexible and doesn't people to have the expectation they had program and gives the program a bad name. we have down mat li today, some bmr owners are in ■ terrible predicament and cannot sell because of their family circumstances. p families that purchased bmr

units ic affordable price sometimes have difficulty selling their unto eligible buyers within the confines of our bmr ruleswh the bmr program was never intend to an owner the same amo of equity as in th never meant to sell at a loss or forced to losing whatever little equity this family has. the legislation i'm introducing the mayor office of housing the ability to reseeligibility for bmr under certain circumstances. when the market acts the way it is are other variables. i think there is ffence in every situation i hoping the planning commission will support us and able to k and ith uso people are not ç■■ this program can continue to

thrive. i want thank maria benjamin, sissy■g yor office of housing for their effort and shannon way at ownership sf and depy ci attorney goodman for their hard work and the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you supervisor melgar. supervisor peskin. >> thank you madam clerk.collea out of the ndemic into our economic recovery mode, i started connigroup of downtown stakeholders to talk about what they th helpful to downtown recovery. the group which number of months including sfur l all of the numerous downtown and around downtown community benefit districts and business improvement district. the bay ncil. boston properties. the buildings owneation.
