opportunity to thank all the advocates, scott ajusta who has brought these issues to not only the attention of this body in city hall but really the entire elected family. i am proud to be introducing and we are going to be voting today on this piece of legislation that provides an additional protection for tenants as we are dealing with this housing crisis. we are acutely aware of the fact that because of this crisis many families are being displaced and one of the things we have heard from tenants is the fact that many of them feel that they are being harassed and we have heard story after story from tenants who have

been subjected to different forms of harassment by landlords. we have heard the stories of landlords consistently calling tenants not only at home but actually work to the point where some have gotten in trouble with their employer and some tenants being locked out of their apartment and how there is loud construction work that is done in some of these properties for the purpose of harassing the tenant and making it clear that they are not welcome there. we had a report issued by the budget and legislative analyst that shows we are dealing with an eviction crisis here in san francisco and we have a report that shows the ellis act evictions are up by 69 percent. we know by every ellis act

eviction are 2-3 by outs that are not being reported. the way these by outs report that in many cases you have landlords that intimidate people to agreeing to a buy out. most of the time agreeing to being paid a sum that is not going to enable them to stay in san francisco. the problem with the law today is that in the face of this harassment, the only recourse that is presentlily available to tenants is that they can go and file an action in california superior court. as ted of the san francisco tenants union indicated in order to file in superior court things to have get so bad that you as a tenant have to convince an attorney that you

are actually suffering damages including perhaps medical damages, but for most tenants the ability to file something in court, san francisco superior court is not an option available to them. litigation is so costly and so expensive that it's really prohibitive. what this legislation does is it creates an intermediary cost of action at the rent force that if there is any harassment that the matter can be brought to the rent board so there can be a hearing before an administrative law judge so they will be able to present their facts, their sides of the case and the administrative law judge would provide the rent board with a summary presented by each side and depending on what that evidence shows, the

rent board may decide to refer the matter to the city attorney to initiate civil litigation or to the district attorney to initiate criminal proceedings. the point of this is that it creates a forum byway of the rent board where these kinds of allegations can be dealt with without the parties having to go to court to resolve the issue. i think that this legislation is not only needed in terms of the practice impact of the legislation, but i think it will also send an a very clear message that the kind of harassment that we have heard of that has been presented to us that is something that it's not going to be tolerated in san francisco. i'm very proud to submit this piece of legislation and ask my colleagues for their support and i also want to thank the

san francisco apartment association. we have approached them to make sure their side is taken into consideration and we have incorporated some of the suggestions they had. i think this is something a long time coming and something that will provide an additional tool for us to ensure that we protect tenants in san francisco and i respectfully ask for your support. i want to thank my colleagues for cosponsoring and for their work on this piece of legislation. president david chiu: supervisor mar? supervisor eric mar: thank you for addressing this legislation and the budget analyst report that you did and the humanist stories that came from many organizations and individuals that came to tell their stories iechl want -- i want to say

this is setting up a fair and impartial setting and mechanism that will allow those to be heard. when we have such a crazy and over heated housing market that the hearings have shown that sometimes it's illegally forcing the tenants out through intimidation and harassment. this process creates a fair and i impartial what the tenants can be heard and also further legislative efforts to support our communities and help stem the tied of displacements going on in our city. thank you supervisor campos. president david chiu:

supervisor yee. supervisor norman yee: thank you for bringing this to our attention. i'm glad that we are finding some solutions to as you say some bad apples who maybe harassing renters. the question i have on this and neighbor apartment association asked the same question, maybe not. but i wanted to at least be where there are not, something like this where most renters are good renters and most landlords are good landlords but there is bad apples on both sides of the issues. the question i had is could this amendment, these amendments be where some of the bad anticipate -- apples of the renters be used to the landlords. maybe this is a

question to the city attorney. i'm just curious if that's been discussed or not? president david chiu: supervisor campos for the city attorney. speaker: i don't know if the city attorney would like to chime in. what i would say supervisor yee is that i think this is a tool, but let me say this, that as supervisor march indicated, -- we believe the forum can deal with these issues. it's not a one-sided situation. nothing will happen if a frivolous case is presented and the facts don't really support and allegation of harassment. the other side that is opportunity to submit their open perspective and

their own evidences as to what actually happened. does it mean that it's possible that someone is going to bring a frivolous claim, that's always a possibility. that's a possibility in superior court as well. but the point here is that we want to provide an opportunity to be legitimate concerns brought forward. if the concern is not legitimate then the administrative law judge will be able to let the rent board know that. so, i think the possibility for an abuse is something that exist regardless of what we are talking about. but i think the imbalances is such right now in terms of the power that a landlord and property owner has visa via the tenant, filing

something with the rent board is not easy either. there is an additional step that has to be taken. it's not as onerous as filing a lawsuit. it's not something that can also be taken lightly. president david chiu: any other comments? our deputy city attorney. speaker: because supervisor yee directed to me the question as well. this is what the board, what complaints the tenants might file is hard for us to fore see as a legal question. it's more of a policy question for the board. president david chiu: thank you supervisor campos for answering the question. president david chiu: colleagues, any additional discussion. roll call on the

item. speaker: the clerk: item 41, supervisor chiu, aye, cohen, aye, ferrel, aye, kim aye, supervisor mar, aye, tang, aye, supervisor wiener aye, yee, aye, supervisor avalos, aye, supervisor breed, aye, supervisor campos, aye, there are 11 ayes. president david chiu: the ordinance is passed. call items 42-44. speaker: they were recommended with the same title. item 42: 42.131149[adding the name "donaldina cameron alley" to old chinatown lane]sponsors: chiu; marresolution adding the name "donaldina cameron alley" to old chinatown lane in recognition of donaldina cameron and her many contributions to san francisco1234, item 43: 43.131150[adding the name "harold 'bud' moose lane" to merchant street]sponsor: chiuresolution adding the name "harold 'bud' moose lane" to merchant street in recognition of bud moose and his many

we all note that the city has seen significant job growth and unemployment growth in the past few years since our unemployment rate has declined from 10 percent to 5 percent. while our population has increased we have seen an increased demand for housing. the ellis act has allowed 6,000 units to be withdrawn from our rental market. the ellis act has been used by new owners who purchase the building of evoking the ellis act for their own reasons. we have seen trends where they are buying

the rental units and then changing them. we also know that speculators who have used the ellis act to evict tenants and those most vulnerable of our city. given the fact that we do not have time to wait for ellis act evictions to take place before establishing more local control that we need do everything we can to stem the tie of speculative evictions. this calls for our may and -- mayor and board of supervisors to restrict ellis act evictions to restrain the ellis act evictions and disrupting our efforts to grow according to our general plan and our

neighborhood plans. so colleagues, we ask for your support with this resolution to support changes within our state legislature to return more local control to our local municipalities to stop speculative ellis act evictions. second item i have is to request a hearing in early next year in chapter 14b of the administrative code t local business enterprise. this is timing for several reasons. early this year, our mayor by order removed the act by rights provisions from office under the administrator. yesterday the contract monitoring division issued and annual report on the past fiscal year. this is a first report on lbe's in the first year even though this has required quarterly

reporting. background, we know it comprised 95 or less of businesses contributing hundreds of millions of dollars to our local economy, our economies local back bones. 3 decades ago this san francisco board of supervisors has experienced passive and active discrimination in practices and recognize that history no longer had a place in our city acknowledging that millions of dollars that we spent for services could be a tool to help disadvantaged minorities to increase businesses. chapter 14b now helps all of our

businesses in cost operating and it's hoped to level the playing field as city and local businesses compete outdz outside of san francisco. we know when this law has worked our city's contract practices can keep tax dollars here in the city which will do most good for our residents. we know when 14b works we know that san francisco is doing all we can to end discrimination and to ensure that we are not contracting with businesses that discriminate. the hearing that i'm calling for will help us chart a progress in full filling our cities policy on discrimination and we hope in the light of legal adjustment to better award and administer

a contract that is better and fair and effective to provide equal opportunities. as san franciscans we all must do a better job and i like -- look forward to working with. you my third item is an environmental ordinance. with recent typhoons and we've all seen an impact of global warning and we have seen our efforts to reducing greenhouse gases and reducing addiction to plastic bottle water. in the 1990s the industry experienced an enormous growth but before that everyone managed to stay hydrated. in 1996, the average public drank 1.6 billion

bottled wear -- water per year. today americans drink more bottled wear than anywhere in the nation. in san francisco where ecology alone collects millions of bottles every year. they end up in our recycling stream orlando film and it takes a thousand years for a typical bottle water to -- in san francisco we have been fortunate to have healthy water. hetch hetchy water. this

is $1-4 per gallon. it's quality is tested over 100 thousand times a year. it's the highest municipal water in the country. in the past several years i have partnered with several agencies. i have sponsored legislation to acquire new buildings to install bottle filling stations. the legislation we are introducing today is also first in the country and an exciting next step for our city. while many national parks and universities across the united states has instituted water bottle bans i would like to take an approach to reduce bottle waste in our own cities on properties and our own cities facilities. vendors and city department to reduce our

addiction to plastic bottle water. the ordinance is a result of numerous conversation of departments and producers and environmental community and want to thank supervisor mar for his assistance. beginning this year, the municipal water would not be allowed to sell bottled water. in 2016, all will be required to comply. sports event would be waved. many events in our city have already made the transition to being plastic bottle water free. i started thing about this @016, all will be required to comply. sports event would be waved. many events in our city have already made the transition to being plastic bottle water free. i started thing about this legislation after the plastic bottle water ban. we've heard from many

event producers that alternatives are affordable and easy to use. second aspect of a legislation for permits and leases of properties would have to include the sale of bottle water and it would not apply to existing leases and permit holders and can grant waivers to permitees. this will require our city's to increase access to these filling events water hook ups be installed where there is a capital project in a heavily used public park or plaza. in the absence, it asks the agency to investigate solutions to hook up to our water infrastructure. in the recent year we have learned there are many contributions to bottle water and that will continue to grow. we know we can hook up to municipal water

lines and sell cups and refillable water bottles to customers. and i want to thank dave who has worked on this original idea. i believe this is a common sense way to attack the problem of waste drinks and i look forward to continuing this conversation with all stake holders during the coming months. the next item i have is to declare december 19, 2013, water day. the 100th anniversary to pass the federal law which creates the hech tch hetchy water system. the
