to limit exposure to carcinogens and other intrauma, we should reduce incentivals for firefighters to stay on the job longer then they absolutely must. the measure before you allowed members department to retire with the maximum service credit at opposed to 58. empower firefighters to enter retirement with financial security risk additional three years of ade health impacts. as mentioned in the prior committee meetings,e career of firefighters by three years translates to heightened risk, demonstrated by the positive creased age, number of injuries, and claim costs. throughout this process, my office prepared all legislative pathways to suthe most cost effective measures. protecting firefighters from cancer and other health complications isn't controversial, at least it shouldn't be.g to do and

i am proud to fight for these heroes for keeping san franciscans safe helped go through the committee process and get to the board today and thank you to those who signed on to this amendment and i recognize the importance of prioritizing the health of our brave fire department mens. members. thank you. >> thank you supervisor stefani, anymore comments on this item? we can take this same house same calr amendment is ordered submitted. next item, please. >> item 13 ordinance amending the transportation code to waive fees related to the temporary closure of streets forvents on irving, noriega, and taraval streets, from 19th avenue to the great highway, that are organized by community-servingit organizations, small businesses, merchant associations, neighborhood resident associations, and property and business improvement districts, and to set a sunset date of june 30, 2027, for the program waiving fees related to such street closures throughout the city. >> same house same call. the ordinance is passed first reading. next item.

>> item 14 resolution authorizing the sheriff's office to enter into with the san francisco pretrial diversion project for pretrial services, increasing the contract amount by $14,905,123 for a total not to exceed amount of $34,668,237 and to extend the contract term for two years from july 1, 2024, for a total term of july 1, 2021, extend. >> supervisor stefani. >> thank you president peskin. colleagues, i wasn't able to q8 budget finance committee hearing, but i do have a few questions in the 6 months since the last contract amendment was approved, the office completed fiscal compliance monitoring of the diversion project financial condition an governance and review of the financial statements through june 2023 and the assessment found pretile was generally in compliance with city standards but recommend the city provide technical assistance to improve the

budget development fiscal policies and procedures and compliance with public access standards and to my knowledge this shouldn't be a shock i'm bringing this up around ongoing issues i have with pretrial not of co@ur with their mission, but in the way in which is reported. while pretrial [indiscernible] appearance rates are extremely high in the 90, there remains a concern regarding the validity that datthree years ago in 2021 after validation study. moreover, it recommended in 2021 after i brought that up more then three years ago, san francisco established a plan to revalidate the public safety no such plan exists as of today.out of compliance with sb36, which requires the study to be done every three years, and as of june 2024, the pretrial population had dropped to 121, which 64

percent decrease. the bla asserted increase in cost are due to significant rent s yet worked out, which perp given our office situation, an icodotally down and dont seem to be in a tight market space n i could better know how i was vote today but do not have all the information. in 2021, like i said, i voiced my reservation about the contract and earlier this year reiterated the concerns during the vote of the contract 4th amendment which is asked for to again, address significant rent increases. at that time, i felt there response to policy recommendation made in the state required validation study, the public ñ safety accessment authored by the public policy lab. despite contract amendments an

to question the validity of the pr and efforts to reduce bias and validation study remain unimplemented. while i was encouraged by the january discussion and recommendations made to the bla to improve fiscal and programmatic monitoring--i especially as the 5th amendment would go towards alleged rent incr i concerned about the non nate bill 36 which requires a validation study every year three years and that is not done, so for reasons i will vote no on this contract amendment today. >> thank you supervisor stefani. supervisor chan. >> thank you president peskin. just wato clarify that during the budget and finance committee, it was

clear to us that through the--i clearly for obthe previous agreements 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 5?the budget and legislative analyst report as pr during the budget and finance committee that the assessment found the pretrial was generally in compliance with the city standards. clearly we still want the city to provide a technical assistance and the city as the sheriff department prove the organization budget development, fiscal policies and this is all on the page 9 of the budget and legislalyst report and also just want to indicate that, the sheriff did complete fiscal

compliance monitoring, includin of the audit financial statements the pretrial diversion project. so, it that it actually came out of the budget and , so i do urge your support. it is critical element to our criminal justice system to have continue on. while it is not perfect, like many things that came require the city's continuing attention to this to this project, it is none the less a very our criminal justice system to make sure we keep holding people accountable, but allowing them tohave a program that support them through the court system, so thank you. >> thank you supervisor chan. madam clerk, roll call, please. >> on item 14, supervisor ronan, aye.safai, aye. supervisor stefani, no. supervisor chan, aye. supervisor dorsey, aye. supervisor engardio aye.

be required to do. in order to do that he needed a longer lease to amortize the cost of at, which is significant. so, í5wat, folks had asked that we purpose the land to build to do other things with as a environmental ist. the issue is i went to the mayor office of housing and said how about we build affordable housing here. we cannot. it doesn't support it. it is very odd site, which really limits the number of units. federal money has to go and neapa and has to be cleaned up and will be i explored a community garden or retail, none is feasible.in the mean time, the state of calirnia seeing the problem throughout the state working with the federal government has made a pot of money available for owners like this one to transition to bio fuels. we don't have a bio fuel station on the d, so it is a

need we have and you know, this gives us a transition into that. so, what is before you that, it is a lease. 20years as the predicated on acceptance of the grant from the state to transition into bio fuel. that is a requirement of the lease. in addition to that, the lease requires cleanup at the end of the lease which is the current lease doesn't, so i do think having kicked this tires on this to make--i have explored all the other options. i do-we are bringing in front of you today, i think it is a good option. my fear is this, from some of the environmental groups who rather have this be empty then have a sale carbon producing fuel. i have the experience of having a site just on the other side of the d owned

by the city now that has been plagued with squatters, fires, graffiti, garbage,d right at the boarder of d8 and d7 is one ost visible spots in the city. it is what every sees going up twin peaks and i do not want that be the legacy we leave behind. that is also not a good way to convince to change their behavior and do environmentally sound things átso i really really ask for your support. >> thank you supervisor melgar. supervisor preston. >> thank you president peskin and i just i very much appreciate supervisor melgar's efforts to improve the proposal for this site. i know her this and think it is grateful improved from what was before the board previously and i do hope we see a shift to bio fuels at the site and i ft hoped that environmentally groups and everyone would !bext version, but i understand that

has not come to pass, so consistent with the ongoing opposition of leading environmental organizations that we should not be agreeing to tend public land for fossil fuel use, i will be casting a no vote on this item. thank you. >> than madam clerk, on this item, a roll call, please. >> ronan, aye.safai aye. supervisor stefani, aye. supervisor chan, aye. supervisor engardio, aye. supervisor mandelman, aye. supervisor melgar, aye. supervisor peskin, aye. supervisor preston, no. there are 9 ayes and 1 no with supervisor preston voting no. >> the resolution is adopted. next item please. resolution

want to recognize how diligently and well you handled the absolutely impossible job is being counsel to any board of supervisors, board of supervisors as you had to competing interests and all sorts of legal balancing competing legislative needs, questions from only the 11 of us but all of our aids, have done it with dignity and a plumb advice has always been good advice for which i'm very thankful and i just want to acknowledge that you ha very difficult client, myself included and you have navigated and mentored us well, so thank you for your service to the san fr board of supervisors, x ann pierson. with that, supervisor chan. >> thank you indeed. difficult clients we are. i'm certainly one of them as well. nothing is more having a supervisor pretending they are lawyers. i'm one of them. i only play one like board president peskin like to say, we play one

on tv, so i know that-and yet you have been patient. you have been so kind. you have been just wonderful in the sense where you kind of let me just be and pretending and respecting as a pretend lawyer and sometimes me and francis do that together, which is worse and yet , you are letting us say our thing and you patiently and slowly but very that's not how it works. so, i appreciate you. i also do appreciate even though it has been difficult at times at committee, i wish we could do this right now, actually more often then not look back to say, it was the right able to take the time to understand the langua this is something we can do right now on the spot, or not to actually defer for later and think through to make sure we have solid legal

argument of course according to you. not so much to me. i am like, we can do this. but with that, thank you. i am not will work together again and so, but justwxb thank you for your time, thank you so much for your service, thank you so much for your patience. >> supervisor melgar. >> thank you president peskin. you are one of a kind. l for all of the council advice and support you have provided for us. specifically on laguna honda which is your area of expertise but i uld have been able to get through it without you and your input and your counsel. i also want to thank you for your me as a legislator. i don't lose it very often, but i have been patient and kind with me through e frustration of dealing with the bureaucracy and i really appreciate it and i appreciate

you appreciate my bob cut too.so much. whatever you do, you will be fabulous. you are still going to be there for us and i appreciate especially because of laguna honda. but, i will really re i'm sure brad will you know, be a roare one of a kind so thank you so much for having done this job and done so outstandingly and the relationships you built here>> supervisor safai. >> thank you president peskin. ann, from the time i was little i never a new teacher came in and i had a really p2stro relationship with john gibner so i was like, who is this ann going to be? you have been so amazing and i consider you a friend. you are accessible at all times and i know i'm probably one of the people that calls you at odd hours and different times, but you always made yourself accessible. i think you are extremely intelligent, smart and whity and also have a

great sense of humor so our side-bar jokes about many different things, wont get into, but i appreciate all the work you have done with me over the years on so many different pieces of legislation that we worked on and the advice you have given, both for thingz inside this chamber and out, so you will be missed, but i'm excited for your promotion and it is well deservlook forward working with the next subsitute teacher. [laughter] >> good luck, brad. supervisor preston. [laughter] >> thank i dont know supervisor chan, you said having a supervisor pretending to be a lawyer, i think the only thing that is more annoying for a city attorney is having a supervisor who is a attorney how you should be doing your job when you are the for putting up with those who are attorneys on this board. i just want to say, we city and city attorney is

so fortunate to have you advising this board fwr the last 4 and a half years. you are a brilliant attorney and someone manages somehow to juggle a million things which i guess is what you have to do to survive when you are literally ng every supervisor. is a unenviable job having clients essentially all over the place, whether politically or on in personality. i will ll not go into otherwise we would be here all about all the work we have done together specifically, but i it is externally people sethat we are all most proud of in our work. they don't see by design they dont see how we get there and that is through the work we do together our city attorney and entire office, but all

that comes through one person and for the last 4 and a half years that has been you advising us, playing what is often i think a difficult triage function within a huge city attorney office looping in the right folks and what i have been always been struck by working with you is not just as colleagues said, your availability always all the time your ethic and commitment to your work, but also that even when you do that role of connecting us, whether housing with deputy city attorney or any number of people on different issues, i always noticed how you remain involved and on of the projects we ar it isn't a matter of outsourcing or connecting with the right attorney, somehow and dont know how you manage to do this with one supervisor,

but 11, part of the development of strategy, part the discussions and staying on top of making sure we have these ready to go and any advice we i always appreciated not just advice, but the follow-through in that regard, so i want to just really thank you for ver the last 4 and a half years and i am ad you are staying at the city attorney's office and moving to what i guess in so ways is i think your returning to a lo your work around health and human service so wish you all the 'll miss you at the board. thank you ann. >> supervisor dorsey. >> i was a long time executive staff member of the san francisco city attorney's office and i can say i'm not a lawyer, but al for 14 years. i will just echo something president peskin said, th client relationship in the city attorney's office is really one most challenging kinds of professional relationships there is.

there is no single lawyer in that office who has challenging job of managing that relationship then the general counsel to the board of supervisors and recall going back to the ted laky era. in the front office was always regarded as this is one of the hardest jobs to do for a lawyer and you have done it professionalism and grace and as others level of accessibility i really appreciated, i would send e-mails all hours of the day because it was only when i was able it get to my e-mail. i wasn't expecting you to get back to me, but i always appreciated the way you did. congratulations and are i know we will be working together in a different capacity but on in the city attorney office i'm aware of you did a 2great job and good luck to brad on replacing you. thanks so much. >> supervisor stefani. >> thank you president peskin. i know you are just going to

all which have been named in the title. 911, paramedic, emt, nurses, sheriff police and firefighter. and healthcare ecosystem is strained now and we need to create incentives to prevent a catastrophic breaking point and insure we can attract and retain excellent qualified candidates to serve our city public safety ecosystem. this fund will provide real ial relief by covering outstanding student loan and job related educational expenses for these city employees that were named. these are the people we count on every singwe must prioritize proper staffing levels and so to qualify for this, an applicant needs to be hired into one of these roles beginning of the year, hence the traction piece and continue working full time for at least three years before they would be able to access the fund. the goal is to start th least a million dollars. the hope is to get it up llion, so

that each person would have up to about $25 thousand in debt. just to be clear, this is not an attempt to create a budget set aside. this is a priority in the coming months next ye process for this board and the mayor, but i do think it a for philanthropy to lean in. wh 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 was able to do, even though it was mandated budget allocation, it changed cgthe in the chamber over the last number of years.for leading that effort, but we allocated towards affordable using and housing development and housing acquisition. kudos to supervisor engardio

for pushing thconversation around algebra. even though it was not a set it put pressure on the school district to move forward in that i also think about when we many years ago supervisor ronan leading the process had a conversation about mental health sf and there was an idea that it would go to the , but as part of those conversations it didn't, and i have to say i don't think this mayor has made a full commitment to mental health sf. never been fully funded 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 that the voters of san francisco have a opportunity to weigh in on this and make a strong statement. i like to thank my lead cosponsor who was not able to may, but supervisor walton has been a stark and strong supporter and then recently supervisor dorsey. thank you for your

cospoon the ballot today. i think the voters of san francisco deserve a opportunity to weigh in on this conversation. thank you. >> i will explain why i descended in committee, woo ecan pass the legislation any tuesday afternoon at the board of supervisors, doesn't need to be on the baat a roll call, please. >> item 29, supervisor ronan, no. supervisor safai, aye. supervisor stefani, aye. supervisor chan, aye. supervisor dorsey, aye.engardio, aye. supervisor ma supervisor melgar, no. supervisor preston, aye. there are 6 ayes and 4 noes with supervisors, ronan, mandelman, melgar and peskin voting no. >> motion ordered submitted. next item, please.

housing by l real estate investors as wall street has ing business and have seen here locally. one company in particul has come to dominate this industry, a company alled real page described by a employee that company as the amazon operty management software sayingindust ry". in the old days collusion happened in a smoke filled back room estate owners share data into common data pool which is used to set rents and occupancy terms. numerous state and federal investigations found this amounts to new form of price we seek to curb here today. to lower rents and brimo the market. with this ordinance we aim to be a mogovernments around the nation and regulating this insidious use of technology the same way lead on air bnb and short-term rental and other questionable business practice.

>> first member to introduce new ess is supervisor ronan. submit. thank you. supervisor safai. >> yes. thank you madam clerk. just one second. i'm asking the city attorney to draft a ordinance that subject affordable housing to the city wide project labor agreement i helped to negotiate and lead with supervisor peskin and others back in 2019. has been tremendously successful in our city. the way we build affordable housing in the city needs to change. 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 etitive bidding for all construction work done on the job and that creates this avenue fl

adding to thde project labor agreement. they have shown bla have been shown the steady pool of workers and insure decent wages, quality insuring projects completed on time and in budget. a recent uc berkeley labor center study showed the los angeles labor agreement for measure hhh actually controls cost because it projects in on time and on budget. also, our experience with the city wide pla and older agreements at the d+ sfpuc and san francisco airport shows covered by the pla have more performance for local hire, apprenticeship utilization work with businesses or lbe's that are not covered under normal pla's.

pla's have shown to create a steady pool of workers and decent wages and quality b)ljworkforce in addition to insuring the time and bufind ways to innovate our housing construction without eroding labor standards and i believe ordinance will help us do that. the good wages and benefits they are entitled to which attract more young people into this industry that we are solidifying working and middle class family work in this city. the industry desperately needs to expand the workforce to meet the 80 thousand unit goal with 50 percent affordable to working families. we can expand the workforce and maintaining the threshold for local businesses and minority work as well as grow their businesses over time. so, this ordinance helps us do that. i look forward to working with my

colleagues. i look forward having bust conversation with our local businesses, robust labor contractors and builders on those ersations have started and believe new conversations around financing models and looking at design up front and controlling for cost over-runs and change orders will be part of the convertion toof affordable housing. i hope to make this ] in the fall when we come back and we will have something drafted and ready to submit by the time recess thank you president peskin and the rest i have submitted. you supervisor safai. supervisor stefani. submi supervisor chan. submit. >> thank you madam clerk. i am requesting we adjourn today's meeting in honor of maureen sullivan mother of richmond district

clerk.a couple things to introduce that we can work on after the break. the first thing is a piece of legislation i write since on the planning commission to better protect our rent controlled units that havetenants living in it and are going through renovations. something that we have dubbed rent evictions. i been wanting to write this legislation along with aid jennifer feeber who was with the tenant union at "= the time because we saw so many cases come in front of the planning commission and didn't have the tools to deal with them.noticed a bunch of 'acases of unscrupulous who applied for permits to redesign-renovate a building or redesign a floor plan zin nformation to the plis no unit there when it is them and rent controlled.

sometimes tenants knew about it, but often times did not know this was happening. there had plan for permit submitted for their homes. since there is no real registry renters yet, planning staff would just rely on honor system asking is there a they take their word for it. this had happened repeatedly. i acknowledge sf has gotten better, but we do not have a system per se to check this, so despite the stuff that happened the inclusion of this in some of the streamlining bills at to still doesn't have a full proof way to uncover whether tenants are living in a ace that are going through a permit process for renovation and people game the system. this legislation helps insure

the permit portrays the existing condition on the building today, such as the presence of a unauthorized dwelling 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 we work on this and thatis becomes a tool in the future. i am also introducing something i have been working on quite some time, which is overdue fix to the bmr home ownership program. the whole purpose of the bmr pport low and middle income residents who would be priced out of san francisco with ability to buy home and build some equity over time. typically the units are a good return on the investment, a very good return on investment which happens to be much

lower then putting down nt on the market, but when e market goes funky like it has in the past few years since the pandemic and especially in some areas, the system that we

or moderate income family has. the legislation i'm introducing allow the mayor office of housing the reset the eligibility for units under certain circumstances. is acting today and there are other variables. i think there is difference in every situation i hoping the planning commission will support us and able to work with uso people are not stuck and this program can continue to thrive. i want to thank maria benjamin, sissy yen and team at mayor office of housing for their effort and shannon way at home ownership sf and depy city attorney goodman for their hard work and the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you supervisor melgar. pe >> thank you madam clerk. colleagues, when trantion p out of the pandemic into our economic recovery mode, i started convening a large group of downtown what they thought could

be helpful e group which met for quite a number ur, sf travel and all of y9the numerous downtown and around downtown community benefit districts and busine improvement district. the bay area council. boston properties.the buildings owner and manager association. the san francisco and others and we put together a list of things that could be achieved in the near term midterm and long-term and work on projects that move the city and rward and while up has been representing downtown for many years, it became clear early on was missing some critical stakeholders of downtown. arts and culture neighborhood voices, entertainment voices so we began inviting legacy business owners and entrepreneurs and groups rike e arts alliance to all start talking in the same language about what we would work for

downtown and reenvision downtown and lead to the downtown adaptive reuse legislation the mayor this the small business tax reform on the november ballot and to establish the first entertainment zone downtown which was a positive step downtown recovery and today introducing legislation to create a greater downtown cbd master permitting program for arts and entertainment by the downtown cbd and brian shehe. thanks to the brored we up able to a-mind the budget at the last minute and reprogrammed 2 and 3 quarter million dollars that was going to go to free parking to spread around all these four 3cbd and one business improvement district combined with the the lights on downtown at once. [%this legislation establishes a

greater downtown community benefit district master permit for entertainment activation through of public works, 5 year long permits that cut through a of bureaucracy and it is quite clunky for a lot of people. even the shared spaces are clunky and the cbd, many local governments enabled by state and local law and have the inastructure to create management plans and do reporting with the cityoon the management plan and supplement the base line th cleaning and security and this i think will be a boom to all them. i want to thank robby silver from downtown partership, andrew robinson from east cut, scott from yerba buena community benefit district, melissa rodriguez frayawnian square alliance and large number of small business and ent venue that pushed for us to get out of our way and their a much

simpler process for permitting community events. each of these permits as i said last for 5 years, and we create 12 different activations zone with this at anna plaza, [indiscernible] as well as second street as i mentioned, thanks to all of you, of these cbd arts and culture and entertainment programming, rams a year and each of these cbd. i look forward voting on this in september and thank you again to everybody, particularly my chief of staff, sunny anw- ghoulo for making it happen. then colleagues, sadly, i like to adjourn today's board meeting in the memory two people, larry bush who died on friday and was a seminal person san francisco politics,
