pharmaceuticals are going to take a lost. a lot of companies run into those problems and jill adjourn scientific nicole worked out well, they're new drugs is a combination of four different drugs they put together. i understand the aids foundation they want to cut prices on the other hand, they have the next drug to be developed they're to need money for it. if we cut back too much it's going to cost lives and result. we have the best medical establishment in the world if we want to cut down it's goes to cost lives. it's a vow judgment. adjust price has been discussions and kissing

restraining order the roman order sdutdz it but in this case, the drug companies need the kind of medical research we need. some use the fact to invade our patent and do cut rate versions of our drugs. if we didn't go ahead and do our medical research a lot of drugs won't exist and a lot of people would die a lot yearns. in the earlier 1 hundreds people live about 47 years old. i'm 4r50rgd to living to about 80. i've read a lot of cicero i'm not interested in him i'm interested in human beings. the prices have gone up. when this gentleman said many

people are doing to die many people are not i getting their medication and their dying. we're asking for fair prices not asking to take money away from r&d pr it's interesting when a drug company fails everybody feels soerrible i can see that you want them to succeed. and nobody faults the drug company. i've been a teacher for 40 years if the student fails they say their something wrong with me. there's something wrong where is the pharmaceutical companies if they can't keep their drug prices down and forego those ohio salaries in order to save people. that's their job not just to

make money and they can do that. 18 thousand people signed this ballot measure to get it on board. everybody is backing this measure. people who haven't spoken to each other in 20 years are backing this because this is the good thing for that the people of 70 >> mr. that infamous. i don't care whether the drug companies fail but i care that repel amelia reach gets interrupted. the futures of the company's i don't care about but i care about the net medical research which lives are riding on that's where i favor using the money. i put in the voters hand good things to put money into and i

listed thirty cancers companies and i urge you to donate to those companies. we need more medical research not less. there's a lot of hard choices but if you're trying to save a maximum number of lives the more medical research the bhert. i'd like to close the program with a few comments >> i donate to almost everyone medical nonprofit. i even what can for aids, for diabetes, for breast cancer envy sister a breast cancer survivor. i can important patrick's she's a parkinson's survivor but people are turned away from cylinders they have to choose between their food and their

everybody and thank you for being here to witness and a celebrate the signing of dues process for all ordinance in san francisco. and first, i'd like to commend supervisor avalos for your work supervisor in bringing this important legislation to this body before the board and public. i want to thank all the other supervisors as a role wholly know they spent a lot of time on this to think about the changes we're macro and i especially want to give a particular things to tang and kim for oh, amendments it strengthened the ordinance itself. i also want to give a very strong thank you it the numerous

agencies about public safety but the cabinet rights ease the cabinet advocates many are in the room today including the groups that xhiepsz is rights committee i had the opportunity to hear the stories of victim who were getting tangled up with icing detainers for trying to cooperate with our police department. i'm also glad to have our police chief and he also is the first chief in the state of california to support assemblyman trust act which all of you has been signed by governor brown. thousands of our members of our limited english and immigrant community, in fact, all our commensurate's live in fear of

did he portion and they've mistrusted the system. so this is a message i want to send by the signing of this ordinance and i'm speaking to our immigrant communities that's it's safe absolutely save to call the police if you're a victim or witness to a crime. everyone knows we need to stand against s come we also retain some local flexibility to deal with violent felons and while we compromised on that aspect of it and understood how complicated that was that perhaps we had points of view on we never lost

sight of getting rid of s came. so we do what i think other government's should do we found the common ground and that's why i'm proud to be signing this ordinance. i'd like to take p the opportunity to invite supervisor avalos what it's meant to him but basing also to the rest of the city. thank you, mr. mayor. and i want to thank you for your work on this legislation. we met in early august to discuss this item and i was very impressed with how much you thought about the issue and what the city is facing and the immigrant in inform and around this country is facing with the s come system. your well, with our staff.

i want to thank law enforcement as well as for your input in contrast this legislation and thank you sheriff and the police departments who helped craft this legislation. i most of all, i didn't bring this legislation forward as the defense economy did interest i represent a district about 50 percent of usor foreign-born so some people on the street have experience with immigration that are really unfair to the contributions they're making in san francisco but the organizing that was good morning and the conversation was very, very strong and actually passing this legislation and doing the advocacy puts you tell u us at a higher level to protect immigrants. and the relationship we build

between government and community will strengthen our police efforts to make us safer. and most of all, i want to thank people like nellie who got entangled as a victim and later spent 8 months facing deportation procedures. no one should have to have fear of calling the police wondering if they're going to get deported. people should be able to come forward as witnesses or victims and this legislation helps that happen. as the mayor said no one here should have any fear again if you're immigrant call the police whether you're a victim or witness. i want to thank the colleagues.

i do want to thank supervisor kim for helping to bring forward amendments we worked all agree on to move forward this legislation. everyone are regardless of our citizenship status should have due process and it's a constitutional right and it's the fifth amendment of our constitution and we here in san francisco uphold that and we say that our values should drive our values. thank you, mr. mayor. look forward to your signing this legislation (clapping) there it is, done

(clapping)out.

>> hi, i'm japanese with the san francisco public utilities combination sometime people call me sewer girl our systems has served the area for 1 hundred and 50 years we're planning you understand public health and our environment don't think that so come in down and see how >> >> >> this meeting will come to order. to my right is supervisor tang and to your left and then david campos will be joining us very shortly. the clerk of the board and i would like to thank jessie larson who

will be broadcasting from sfgtv this meaning. madam clerk are there any announcements? >> the clerk: please submit all cards. items will be on the agenda unless supervisors indicated. >> please call item no. 1. >> the health code for massage practitioner and requiring them to pay annual license fee. >> good morning. i think we have mr. richard lee who will be making a presentation. mr. lee? >> thank you. the department of public health has been permitting massaging establishments under 29 of the health code. right now there

are approximately 1800 permitted practitioners in san francisco. the state passed legislation a couple months ago that created for the agency for practitioners called the massage council. if they are licensed through -- they don't have to be licensed through local agencies. if the establishment employed only cam tac license by practitioners they are exempt from local permitting. what's wrong is they are among no longer permitted through us. we want to change the code that says if they are license through cam tech they are not going to be

licensed through the department of public health. we have to pass this legislation. since the legislation was passed the number has decreased by 25 and the number of practitioners that we have permitted has gone down approximately 30-40 percent. we are concerned about this because we wouldn't be able to do inspections of those establishments because we are not getting fees and they weren't permitted. in this ordinance now we've made some changes that allow us to register some establishments so we can do some inspections at those facilities and collect money. so i want to present this legislation so we can adopt state regulations. >> thank you very much. is that it? >> yes. >> thank you for your presentation. supervisor tang? >> the question is to codify what took place on state law a couple years ago. thank you ry
