we will do a review within six months of when the ordinance goes into effect. so, we will add that on top of the annual review. i think that makes a lot of sense. and just understand, the report is really going to give the board an opportunity to monitor how this very limited carve out is going. is it having the public safety impact that some of the advocates have stated, or is it over reaching? on the other side, we may find that it actually is decreasing people's ability or people's trust because of the over reaching nature of the discretion. that will give us another opportunity to continue to refine this legislation. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you. i do want to thank supervisor kim because i think you are trying to sort of narrow the carve out as much as possible. i would simply urge that between now and the time that this comes back that there is a

continued dialogue with the advocate community, and also with law enforcement. and i think that we know that supervisor avalos has engaged our district attorney, but i think that they have some legitimate concerns that have been raised. but i appreciate the spirit in which this is being done. the last thing that i would add is that i do think it is possible for us to have a unanimous vote and we can do that today by simply voting it as is. [cheering and applauding] >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you, colleagues, for all your comments. i'm not sure we actually can vote on it today, so, it looks

like it can be next week. and i know where we got to today was through a lot of close discussion and negotiations in the morning and there are many amendments that came forward that just aren't going to be ready to be written into form that we can actually vote on today. so, that's why we're going to be -- not be able to vote until tomorrow. but i do want to caution against, you know, adding other elements to [speaker not understood] being provided today because it seems like what we have here in terms of what was negotiated today between the board of supervisors and the mayor's office, with the community who is here is something that can actually be supported all around. and if we're going to add other things, it could actually make it more complicated to get to a vote next week and i just want to caution against trying to make any more, you know, changes that are significant or in terms of writing things up next week.

(applause) >> i do want to thank supervisor kim for her work in making sure that we can minimize the impact of unintended consequences for these carve outs. and, so, i know it's not easy to actually come forward and make these amendments. i just want to thank you for doing that. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you. and, supervisor avalos, i appreciate your desire to try to move forward with what's here. this may end up being perfectly fine. i want to note i literally received this on the floor of the board of supervisors during this meeting. i and i'm sure others have not had a chance to carefully review it. when we make legislation, it's important for all of us to have an opportunity to review things and to be thoughtful. so, i completely understand the sentiment, but we did just receive this on the floor of the board. so, i'm sure over the next week we'll all have an opportunity, yourself included, to carefully review this and to. further dialogue. >> any further comments is it,

colleagues? okay, supervisor kim has made a motion to continue ~ which has been seconded by supervisor cohen. can we take that motion to continue without objection? without objection, that should be the case. [gavel] >> mr. president, that's to september 24th. >> that will be one week to september the 24th. madam clerk, item 18. did we call that item already? okay, all right. at this time if i could ask members of the public to please leave silently, we still do have other business in front of the board. and why don't we go to our adoption without committee calendar. madam clerk. >> items 29 through 32 are being considered without committee reference. these item will be enacted upon a single roll call vote. if a member objects, a matter can be removed and considered separately. >> supervisor breed. >> thank you. i just wanted to sever item number 29. >> okay.

supervisor campos. >> 30, please. >> madam clerk, can you call the roll on items 31 to 32 and if i could ask members of the public -- [gavel] >> if i could ask members of the public please leave quietly, we still have business we need to conduct today. madam clerk, item 31 and 32. >> on items 31 and 32, supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim, on items 31 and 32. kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang? tang aye. supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. there are 11 ayes. >> the resolutions are adopted, motions approved. [gavel] >> item 29. >> item 29 is a resolution

reiterating the board of supervisors's support for cleanpowersf, citing the board's role as the preeminent policymaking body in san francisco, urging the public utilities commission to set not-to-exceed rates for cleanpowersf without any further delay, and promising further action if the public utilities commission fails to set rates. >> supervisor breed? >> thank you. since this item is up for adoption without reference to committee, i'm going to try and keep my comments as brief as possible. but this issue really addresses two things. the first is the merits of clean power. the second is the board of supervisors's role as policy maker -- as a policy making body for the city and county of san francisco. on the first point i would argue and i don't think this is an exaggeration. the cleanpowersf is the program is the singlemost important environmental initiative in san francisco. we have the opportunity here to provide 100% renewable californian and union made electricity. that is a major, major

achievement. according to the epa production and transition of electricity is the single largest source of greenhouse gases in the country. more than transportation, more than industry, far more than commercial and residential sources. cleanpowersf will create hundreds of local jobs, dramatically reduce san francisco emissions, bring us closer to our established climate goals, and help us leave a better world for the next generation of san franciscans to come. community choice is what makes the clean power program possible. that is why cleanpowersf is so important. even if you don't agree or don't like the program, even if you think the pg&e should be our only option, consider what this process says about the board of supervisors. for nine years the board has consistently and overwhelmingly issued its policy directive in support of the clean power program. the votes have been unanimous on some occasion and the super majority on others. yet now the board's directive

has been stopped and because of procedural delays by the puc and we have asked if the board is willing to stand up for its policy directives. this is why i've decided to introduce this resolution and i don't think that unaloe liquiditied commissioners should have the authority to rule elected body members of the san francisco board of supervisors. so, i hope you will join me in urging the public utilities commission to set not to exceed rates in advance cleanpowersf without any further delay. thank you, colleagues, for your support. >> supervisor wiener. >> thank you, mr. president. i want to thank supervisor breed for raising or for introducing this resolution. when we approved this by a vote of 8 to 3 i think it sent a very clear message that this was the policy direction that the board was given. and, of course, there has been extensive history leading up to

that vote. and what we did was it was important in term of establishing this new program, but it also for the first time created a choice for consumers and competition and in fact have seen positive results because pg&e moved forward with its own clean power alternative. so, that's what competition does. it encourages innovation and encourages actual attempts to give consumers more choices and that's a good thing. and, so, i was very disappointed first when i think there was a campaign that unfortunately i think led some residents to believe there was somehow going to be forced into this program when it's as easy as easy can be for people to opt out of the program. even after the opt out period and so no one is going to be forced into this program. anyone who wants to stay with pg&e will be able to do that, but it will give consumers a choice if they want that choice

and that is a positive thing. and, so, when i cast a vote to support this program, i did so because i wanted to provide that consumer choice and i thought that it would be a valuable thing for us to try this program which i think will have positive results for the city in the long run. so, i was very disappointed when the puc declined to set rates. i thought that that decision -- i believe that decision flies in the face of the super majority policy directive from this board. you know, in the past i have been very hesitant to support charter amendments that make changes to how each commission are appointled. i think we have a good system in san francisco and i'm very hesitant to start tinkering around with how these commissions are constituted. but it's important that the

commissions provide that level -- i don't want to say deference, but when the board has set policy direction with a super majority vote, and we have something that's been enacted into law, i think commissions should pay a basic level of respect to that decision, that policy directive. i don't think that happened here. i know it's very, very frustrating for all of us, and particularly those who have spent so much time and so many years moving this program forward. and the most bizarre aspect of this is we have -- i don't even know if anyone has done an analysis of the amount of time over the last decade that the public utilities commission staff has spent moving this process forward with directive after directive after directive from this board over time with different political compositions over and over again saying, please move forward, please get this done, please present us with something.

and staff saying, i'm sure thousands and thousands of hours doing that and then this board adopted the program and then the very commission that oversees that staff, a commission that also repeatedly moved the program forward then says, you know what, we're not going to set any rates. i don't get that. it doesn't sit well with me. i think it flies in the face of a policy set by this board and i'm frustrated as well. i'll be voting for the resolution today and i just -- i really don't think this was the right way for the puc to proceed. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you. i'll be very he, very brief. ~ i really appreciate the comments from supervisor wiener and i just want to add to them to say that this very public utilities commission in a resolution at the end of 2011,

had approved the cleanpowersf program, the shell contract, and the basic parameters for the program moving forward. and, so, it's the same commission that actually voted not to approve the rates. in between 2011 and today is a lot of real troubling politics that i think has really skewed the mission of the public utilities commission and it's a bit hard to see that happen. i appreciate colleagues supporting this program and help it move forward. >> okay. with that, colleagues, do we need to take a roll call vote on this motion? roll call, please. >> on item 29, supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell no. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang? tang no. supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos?

avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. there are 9 ayes and two no's. >> resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> item 30. >> item 30 is a resolution urging the california state legislature to pass assembly bill 1263, which creates "medi-cal: communical," a program that provide reliable access to language interpretation for medi-cal beneficiaries who are limited english proficient. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you. and i do believe that and i think president chiu was also a co-sponsor, just for the record. the reason why we're introducing this resolution supporting assembly bill 1263 by speaker perez is that we want to send a very clear message it's important for governor brown to sign this piece of legislation. it will ensure that non-english speakers are people that have limited english skills have

access to an interpreter when they go and receive medical attention. i can tell you from my own experience growing up as an immigrant who, when we first came here did not speak the language. you get sick, it's really hard to convey the right information to people when you go see a doctor. oftentimes, by the way, it means that the children of immigrant families end up playing the role of interpreter and quite frankly i think it's unfair to expect that of kid because you're talking many times with very technical information in terms of what the symptoms are. and many things get lost in translation and unfortunately that loss in translation has resulted in many people being wrongly diagnosed and not getting the right treatment. so, this is really critical information that really goes to the heart of basic health care for the millions of californians that are limited

english proficient. it's about 7 million in california and the 40% of households where another language is spoken. so, i think it's important for us to be on record and it is our hope that governor brown will be signing this law. thank you. >> colleagues, any other discussion? let's take a roll call vote on item 30. >> on item 30, supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang? tang aye. supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. there are 11 ayes. >> resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> madam clerk, could you read the in memoriams? >> yes, mr. president. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals. on behalf of supervisor cohen, for the late mr. bill thread

gill. >> and is there any more business in front of the body? >> that concludes our business for today, mr. president. >> i want to thank sfgov-tv for their coverage of tonight apt 1850sing and with that unless there is any more business, ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned. [gavel] okay. our final speaker is a friend a friend to the business community. a man who understands was it take to a create a job which is an investment. mayor ed lee is a person who have's brought a lot of stability to san francisco

especially, after steady eddy were because ed has a background in administration and being tasked what getting things done and maneuvering through the san francisco policies. so to talk about the future of san francisco from the mayors prospective and the city's prospective in relationship to continue to build our economy i want to introduce the mayor of the great city and county of san francisco. mayor ed lee (clapping) >> thank you. thank you for that introduction and good morning, everyone. i know you've gotten a lot of statistics their not only interesting and accurate but very guiding for what we need to

do. thank you greg costco and bob and all of the members of san francisco chamber of commerce for extending this invitation and it's great to see a lot of the officials and the department heads to make sure and insure our cities skews. before i get started i want to take another moment to acknowledge and thank the men and women who over the past several weeks fought california's third largest wildfire the rim fire up in yosemite. and among those fighters the fire was our san francisco firefighters who stood alongside other fire department's across the country navigate over 5 thousand people fighting the fire. and, of course, the staff and

crews of the public utilities commission helped and that helped and water industry. i'm proud of their work and while we're grateful everyday for our first responders who risk their lives to protect and serve and for our police officers and firefighters who lost their lives years ago it's important we reflect on that. and certainly for our city. we've had our own including the rim fire the police and, of course, the fire department were there the first responders on a crash that will stick with me. we're living in an extraordinary

city and you can is new year it that a lot of our residents are back to work. when we took office on january lifting our unemployment rates was 9 and a half percent today's it's 5.5 percent. this streamer important year our city netted over thirty thousand additional jobs and think about what the professor said about the multipleer effects. it's not just one industry we're seeing board based job growth at every sector off our city is growing and beating the industry. we're successful because we've created the conditions that give the investors and enterprise in

our city to innovative and grow and create jobs whether or not their neighborhood or small business owner or international firms or other companies. well, here's a new stat. since 2011, 2023.6 million secret of office space - 23.6 million square feet that's 34 trans america pyramids put together. while we're licking lucky it's not all luck. navigate over the last 2 1/2 years we built the infrastructure of our city. where did we do that? let's see

we worked together to create enlightenment for jobs and attracting businesses and making the san francisco the innovation capita of the world. we worked together to build homes by providing verifies with the conversation treating e creating a housing trust fund and a working with our zoning and planning department and rezoning aspects of our city and creating a fund for permanent housing and we can be insure we don't have poverty housing. we want all san franciscans that be living side to side. we're working together to support our young people through our summer job program by investing in 0 our skuldz and

making historic investment in our budget for the san francisco unified school district. we've worked together to strengthen our neighborhoods through our innovates that's focused on 25 commercial districts throughout the city providing loans and phil vacancies and retaining the strength in the local business. we've worked hard to reenvision our waterfront with mixed seawall lots and 4 pier and, of course, we'll welcome in the gotten state warriors back home thanks for itself leadership of folks working with argue port and a city planners. a derelict pier will be transformed that will bring thousands of people out to enjoy

our waterfront. we worked to get with our community. we created the transit city plan that incorporates gov. both businesses and neighborhood for places to work with open shops and more and the development community has imbraced that with 5 office buildings adjacent to the transit center. we've worked together i get the theme now? to fund roads and parks and libs and asking san francisco voters to invest they're hard earned dollars to build infrastructure to help families skewed. we've worked together to make san francisco the gateway to

china and beyond. through china that sf it's a partnership for economic development we've attracted 2090 imply companies to 90 san francisco and we're setting our sites on latin listen to this latino sf. we've worked together to rebuild our 70 san with 5 hospitals, of course, our san francisco gunmen e general i'll be asking you for more help with furniture. of course, c pmc chinese hospital and uc san francisco. we've worked together to fix our that deficit with reform and 5 years planning all of which has

maintained our strong bond rating and this summer we're going to tangle our health care obligation. well, it's bogging because of our layers focus on the infrastructure of our economy that that has allowed us to become the faster growing state not new york or los angeles but we cannot have done that without the san francisco chamber of commerce and without our business community that has vifrtd in our city in helping me create those jobs everyday. so, now this is not the time to rest in our success. i think it's time that we double down on our success by focusing and tackling with more vigor and

more resolve by looking over that horizon to see what else we should be doing. this is not a buckle ladies and gentlemen. that first city college we're going to save city he college period no, ifs or maybe so it's too important to give up open our students or training of our workforce in the future. it's the fit and second the affordable care act is important. we're focused in marking our residents and encouraging resident to purchase affordable insurance via the california marketplace but we need to
