the issue is i went to the mayor about we build affordable housing here. we cannot. it is very odd shaped site, which of units. if we take federal money has to go through ceqa an to be cleaned up and will be expensive.garden or retail, none is feasible. the mean time, the state of california seeing the problem throughout the ste ent has made a pot of money available for like this one to transition a bio fuel station on the west side of town, so it is a we have and you know, this gives us a opportunity to . so, what is before you today 20years as the clerk said, grant from the state to transition into bio requirement of the lease. in addition to that, the end of the lease which is the e doesn't, so i do think that hathis tires on

--i have explored all i do-we are bringing in front of you today,is a good option. my fear is this, we have heard from some ofenvironmental groups who rather have this be then have a sale of i have the experience of side of the juvenile justice center that is empt now that has been plagued withfires, graffiti, garbage, and this site right the boarder of d8 and d7 is one of the most visible spots it is what every tourist bus s up twin peaks and i do not want to have we leave behind. that is also not a way to convince people to change their environmentally sound things so i rek for your support. >> thank you supervisor melgar. supervisor >> thank you president peskin and i just want to say, much appreciate supervisor melgar's efforts

to improve the proposal for this site. i know her office put considerable work is grateful improved from what was before the see a shift to bio at the site and i hoped groups and everyone would be together on the next has not come to pass, so consistent with ongoing opposition of leading ro should not be agreeing to extend lease for fossil fuel use, i will be cavote on this item. thank you. >> thank you. maon this item, a roll call, please. >> on item ronan, aye. supervis supervisor stefani, aye.supervisor chan, aye. supervisor dorsey, aye. supervisor engardio, aye. superv supervisor melgar, aye. supervisor preston, no. there are 9 ayes and 1 supervisor preston voting no.

have gone through, but city attorney's office as we navigated the al terrain of covid-19, including thro years of remote board meetings, countless and ordinances and unprecedented terest of the city and her client at heart. she is moving on to her new role as head of health and human services team and i just want to recognize how diligent well you handled the absolutely impossible job that sel to any board of supervisors, and this particular of supervisors as you had to juggle sorts of legal advice and competing legislative needs, questions from not only the 11 of our aids, night and day and you have done with dignity and a plumb and your always been good advice for which kful and i just want to acknowledge that you have ient, myself included and you have navigated and for your

service to the san francisco of supervisors, ann pierson. isor chan. >> thank you indeed. difficult clients we are. well. nothing is more irritating then a supervisor pretending they are lawyers. i'm one of them.one like board president peskin like to say, we play so i know that-and yet you you have been so kind. you have been just wonderful in the sense where you kind of let just be and pretending and respecting me a pretend lawyer and sometimes me and ther, which is worse and yet , us say our thing and you patiently and but very sternly tell that's not how it works. you. i also do appreciate even though it has been at committee, i wish we could do this right now, but look back to say, it was the right thing to do to the time to understand the language and to understand right now on the spot, or not actually

defer for later and think through to make we have solid legal argument of not so much to me. i am like, we can do this. but with that, thank you. i am not saying much more, because again and so, but just thank you for your time, thank thank you so much for your patience. >> thank you president peskin. you are one of a kind. i am so grateful for of the council advice and support you have for us. specifically on laguna your area of expertise but i don't know through it without you and your input and your for your patience, kindness slator. i don't lose it very often, but i have and you have been kind with me through dealing with the bureaucracy and i really appreciate it anappreciate you appreciate my bob cut too. whatever you do, you will be

renovations. something that rent evictions. i have been wantiwrite this legislation along with my aid who was with the tenant union at the time becaus cases come in front of the planning commission and didn't have l with them. so, i of uscases of permits to redesign-renovate a or redesign a floor plan in submitting false information tothe planning department that says there e when it is rented with tenants in rent controlled. sometimes tenants mes did not know this was happening. plan for permit submitted for es. since there is no real registry for staff would just rely there a tenant and if somebody says no so, in the past had happened repeatedly. i acknowledge sf we do not have a system per se

to check this, so despite the stuff that happened at the state in thme of the streamlining bills at the state, san frana full proof way to uncover tenants are living in a place that are goin process for renovation and there ple game the system. this legislation helps insure the permit application accurately on the building today, such as the presof a unauthorized dwelling unit and tenant in it creates penalties for those who omit ns. i have always been a strongto protect the tenant and the units and i that we work on this and that this a tool in the future. i am also introducing something i have been working on quite some is overdue fix to the bmr the whole purpose of the bmr home ddle income residents who would be of san francisco

with ability to buy a home and some equity over time. typically the on the investment, a very good return be much lower then putting down a down on the market, but when like it has in the past few especially in some areas, the that we have is inflexible and doesn't permit people to have the exht into the program and gives the program a bad name. we have today, some bmr owners are terrible predicament and cannot sell because of thfamilies that purchased bmr which was considered maximum affordable price sometimes have difficulunits to eligible buyers within the confines of so while the bmr program was nean owner the same amount of eqthey were never meant to sell at a loss or forced sell by losing whatever little eq this low

or moderate income family has. allow the mayor office of housing the ability to the eligibility for units under certain circumstances. when the market acts the way there are other variables. i think situation i hoping planning commission will support us and able to work with uso people stuck and this program can continue to thrive. to thank maria team at mayor office of housing for their effort and ownership sf and rd work and the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you supervisor peskin. >> thank you madam clerk colleagues, when transition pandemic into our economic recovery mode, i large group of downtown stakeholders to talk about be helpful to downtown recovery.a number of months including l and all of the numerous downto'p and around downtown community benefit
