10,000 black people in san francisco today, but we need to get this bookstore so we'll always have our history and it look like the midtown people are already right in that area. tomorrow i got an argument with a lady about this picture. i feel it's michelle obama. turned out to be maybe whitney houston. there's the first lady. she's coming to town with nancy on thursday and friday. we hope people with show her around in the city and help us out in the city and she's going to have the mayor with her today and along with the first black gay nba basketball player and we hope when she come here that we all can get together and see what black, gay, asian, mexican. san francisco is going through a transfer, we need to reinvest in diversity. we learned eleanor rose

roosevelt the one who started the people's right. she brought everyone here. she also took the black lady to sing op ray so we know first ladies have a platform and we hope, as mayor lee said, so these stand for 420 and just remember this where medical marijuana started so denver has taken over. it started here in california. thank you . >> thank you, next speaker. if there are any other members of the public who wish to speak, please line up. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is mr. banks. i haven't spoken in front of you for a while because i've been doing a lot of things in

the community, but it just amazes me as i walk through different neighborhoods how clean some neighborhoods are compared to others. when people are cleaning out their apartments and have the oversized dumpsters that a struck truck has to come in and remove, it amazes me how some neighborhoods have to put a top on top of that container so people don't go through the garbage and spread it around the streets and then when you decide to walk through your neighborhood at nighttime, you wonder if you're stepping on a rat or not. if you could keep that in mind, something has to be done about that because some neighborhoods are just filthy. it's not even after garbage night, it's continuously

because, especially since people are being pushed to other neighborhoods and one neighborhood is put against another to -- for funds to keep the streets clean, so i hope the board of supervisors can focus on that because neighborhoods are getting filthier and filthier. >> are there any other members of the public who wish to speak. public comment is closed. madam clerk -- actually, supervisor kim. >> thank you, i just want to make a motion to rescind the votes on item 17 through 13 and take that vote again. >> okay colleagues, if we could rescind the votes from items 17 to 30, moved by supervisor kim, is there a second to that. seconded by supervisor campos, without objection those items

will be rescinded and if we could, take one vote on items 17 through 30 and take a roll call vote for those items. >> on items 17 through 30, kim i, mar i, tang i, wiener i, yee i, avalos i, breed i, campos i, chiu i, cohen i, farrell i. 11 i's. >> let's go to our adoption calendar. >> number 33 through 38 are being considered for immediate adoption. a single role call vote can be accepted. >> would anybody like to sever item 35.

>> i'd like to sever item 37. if you could call the roll on items 33, 34, 36 and 38. >> supervisor kim i, mar i, tang i, wiener i, yee i, avalos i, breed i, campos i, chiu i, cohen i, farrell i. there are 11 i's . >> motions are approved. >> item 35 advanced accurate and about women's reproductive health. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you very much.

i want to take this opportunity to thank all the speakers who came out and supported this item and i think it is really important for us to sends a very clear message about how we trust women and how we respect the right to -- i think the points have been made that this is not about free speech, that this is about misinformation that has been put out by these fringe groups that have no backing for the claim that somehow abortion hurts women. i think that the medical evidence and the scientific evidence on this point is very clear and i do think we need to carefully look at the policies and procedures that got us to this point. i think that we need to revisit

those prosee your injuries to make sure -- one of the women made that these kind of tactics are especially negative when it cams to the disproportionate impact on poor women. i have seen that myself because of the work we have done with planned parenthood where you have these anti choice extremists who come out and target working class middle income women as they're trying to access rights. using whatever proceeds where are coming in to educate women, but also proactive in putting out the correct information about the safety of abortion as a procedure. and i think that if we allow these groups to put up this

kind of misinformation that we should also have our own information presented and that we make it clear by posting similar banners that clearly say that we trust women. i think that would be something that would move us in the right direction and again, i want to thank the women and all the people that have come out to support this resolution. i think that what is happening is really bad and it certainly does not reflect the values of san francisco. >> thank you supervisor campos. on item number 35, can we take this colleague's same house same call without objection? thank you. madam clerk could you please call item 37? >> this is a resolution suspension and end to firing of undocumented workers.

>> thank you, supervisor chiu. >> i want to take a moment and thank the community that came out today to speak in support of this and the work that's been done on this in the last few weeks, from our janitors, from labor, and i want to thank our young people and dreamers who have been so your courageous over these years. i want to thank supervisor mar, yee, kim and avalos. i know this is a topic that is personal for many of us as the sons and daughters of immigrants, the grandsons and great granddaughters of immigrants. the first time i ever came to this board chamber was 15 years ago to testify and support our city's sanctuary policy. part of why wanted to move this resolution and i know many of us did and it's because of the

many stories of immigrants who are having their families ripped apart. in particular, i want to mention we have heard 1200 of our janitors families have been tragically impacted by the fact that we have not been able to pass con hen sieve immigration reform. this calls on our president to stop our immigration deportations, close to 2 million under this administration to extend the deferred action for childhood arrivals program to all eligible members of our undocument family because it doesn't do any good if we have a dreamer student who's allowed to stay whose mother and father are being ripped away. this should call to an end.

los angeles and other cities are stepping up because we haven't been able to see action in congress and we need to really take leadership from our urban cities to stand up for our immigrant families. secondly, tonight president obama is going to be speaking about this topic and we really, as much good as he has been doing in our country we ask him to do more, to make sure that while republicans in congress have been unable to move have agenda forward, we are not victimizing innocent men, women, children and families as we move forward and this resolution is important to reflect our shared values of saying we are one city and the technical issues around citizenship do not impact that we are all human beings and none of us are illegal. >> thank you, supervisor campos. >> thank you. i want to take

this opportunity to thank our brothers and sisters from local /# 87 for the leadership they have played in this item coming forward. i want to thank all of the immigrants and as a former undocumented immigrant myself, i'm especially proud to see the young people who came out to testify about their own experiences. it's not easy to do that and so i'm very proud of you and appreciate your courage. and i say -- [inaudible]. i was reading online that it is reported by the white house that president obama is supposed to make an impassionate speech about immigration reform and i'm very grateful to that and as someone

who has admired and respected the president, i'm grateful to see that, but we need more than just an impassional speech. we need action. that impassionate speech without any action is simply not going to cut it and it pains me to say this, but when it comes to deportations, barack obama has a worse record than george w bush and the idea that so many of us fought so hard to get him to where he is and that we would face that reality is shameful and i really hope by taking this /po position that san francisco, los angeles and these other cities make it clear that what's happening right now is simply unacceptable. thank you. >> thank you. with that, colleagues, could we take this item, same house, same call?

without objection, this resolution is adopted and madam clerk, could you read -- [applause]. >> could you read the in-- this meeting will be adjourned in memory on behalf of the for the late mr. tom pate and mr. barry leblanc, for the late mr. tommy smith and on behalf of supervisor avalos for the late mr. pete seger. >> is there anymore business in front of the board. >> that concludes our business for the day, mr. president. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned.

>> next item is public comment. members of the public may address the commission on items not on today's agenda. >> all right. we have one card, and that is from rupa bose. thank you for giving me the opportunity to comment. and thank you for all that you do for the environment, in particular the reduction of pesticide [speaker not understood]. i'm here today representing the san francisco forest alliance and we'd like to make three comments.

the first is on the natural areas pesticide use. natural areas has been using a great amount of herbicides by whatever measure n. 2013 it used more tier 1 herbicides than san francisco rec and park put together excluding the golf course which is a special case. also is treating [speaker not understood] golf course, not all the other golf courses. and that's a special case because of the contract that harding is under. ~ i'm going to try and show you two graphs. 2011 to 2013 are derived from the original [speaker not understood] documents. we know the department of the environment has been working very hard to track pesticide use with its new database that was installed in 2010. we have spent a lot of hours trying to reconcile them and we found that the database still has significant data problems with months of missing data and we wanted to work with chris

geiger and his team to improve the accuracy. but [speaker not understood] are the most accurate representation of herbicide use for the natural areas. people are particularly sensitive about the use of toxic herbicides in natural areas which are wetlands and our gardens. people are shocked when they realize what's happening. we ask for no tier 1 or tier 2 pesticides to be used in natural areas. our second comment is about plant mixes in general. in tracking the use of herbicides in san francisco, we found that the original source documents show no way to identify [speaker not understood] mixes of chemicals. we're not talking about

adjuvants, but [speaker not understood]. little results exist about synergistic effects. so, we ask all departments start to identify mixes and s.f. department of environment consider plants with special case and automatically tier 1. our third comment is about second generation [speaker not understood]. i don't know if you're aware, but another owl has been found dead in the glenn canyon area. last year there was a great owl killed. this year it's [speaker not understood]. the neighbors got proxy results. those owls have died of rat poison eating rodents with second generation [speaker not understood]. we under the department of san francisco environment [speaker not understood] against the use of [speaker not understood]. the san francisco -- >> if you can give us a concluding statement. he yes, the san francisco forest alliance supports this campaign and would like to throw its weight behind it. ~ >> thank you very much. any other speakers?

it's not necessary to do a card. you can please come up to the microphone. thank you, commissioners. my name is rufus watkins with midtown park apartments. in district 5. the reason why i'm here is that we need your help to -- with the mayor's office of housing as well as with our district 5 supervisor as well as the supervisors collectively to rescind the termination notice that we have. we are a sustainable community, midtown park apartments. and i have information here for you. so, we would like to see if you can help us rescind the termination notice from the mayor's office of housing. midtown park apartments is a diverse community. it's still the bastian of

diversity in the mid and western addition. after the 1960s, redevelopment, a lot of people can attest what happened in the 1960s. so, now midtown apartment apartments is like the crown jewel of that and we are still -- and we are -- the reason why we want the mayor's office of housing to rescind the termination notice lease that's coming up january 31st is to negotiate -- fruitful negotiations. at the moment we are having difficulties and our supervisor breed as well as we just got finished with the collective board to get their help. so, we are asking with -- if you can to help us to rescind the termination notice and to get back to fruitful negotiations and as a sustainable group, midtown park apartments.

i wanted to say thank you for the opportunity. i have information here and, again, thank you. >> thank you. and if you give any materials to our commission secretary, monica, she can -- okay, thank you. >> any other members of the public wish to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel] >> next item is outreach presentation on the tenant bicycle parking and existing commercial buildings ordinance. speakers today are [speaker not understood], transportation coordinator. this is an informational presentation and discussion item. >> colleagues, as you know, commissioner king usually introduces our outreach presentations and he wanted folks to know that he wanted to be here, but he is at the moment taking care of his mother as he has been for two weeks and so he's with us in spirit tonight. and i know he'll be excited to hear this exciting outreach presentation. [speaker not understood]. >> thank you. again, my name is [speaker not understood]. i'm with the clean transportation program and s.f.

senior coordinator on the team. i will be talking to you today about our most current outreach efforts with the tenant bicycle parking and existing commercial buildings ordinance. but before i get into our current activities i'd like to briefly provide some background on the ordinance results. it passed in march 2012 with the goal of encouraging bicycling to work by requiring commercial property owners and managers to allow tenants to bring their bikes into their building or designated bike parking area. a development partnership with supervisor john avalos, the san francisco bike coalition and the building owners and managers association [speaker not understood], and assists in actually a couple goals. one is the city-wide goal of 20% of all trips by bicycles by 2020, and also as part of the larger city-wide goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 25% below 1990

levels by 2017. the ordinance applies to all owners and managers of controlling and existing commercial property to allow their tenants to either bring their bicycles into their leased space or into a designated parking area. this ordinance applies only to existing commercial property owners and managers and not residential buildings. steps of compliance are simple. if the commercial property owner or manager doesn't have any limitations on how and where the tenants can bring and park their bikes in their building, then they are complying with the ordinance and they don't -- they do not need to have -- sorry. they don't need to do anything further with us. ~ to comply with the ordinance. if the commercial property owner, owners would like to

prescribe access or designated route to either the bike parking location or another area, they will have to submit a bicycle access plan. a bicycle access plan is an easy online form and it asks the property and manager to describe the route to the stairs, elevator, or designated bike parking area that the tenant should take their bikes. it also asks the property owner to tell us how they're going to communicate this access plan to the tenant. and once the form is submitted to us and the information is made clear to their tenants, the property owner/manager is complying with the ordinance and there is no further steps necessary for compliance. we're asking all the property owners and managers who wish to complete a bicycle access plan to do so by january 31st. commercial property owners and managers can also apply for an exception, but under two

special circumstances. one is if their building's elevator is not available for bicycle access due to substantial safety risks or there is alternate covered off-street or indoor no cost bike parking available within 750 feet of the building. after we get the exception form from the building owner or manager, s.f. environment along with sfmta and the building, the public building inspection will approve or deny the request. and again we're asking for all exception forms to be submitted by the end of this week. around january 31st deadline we've been conducting a number of outreach activities through a variety of channels and our message is intend today target not only the property owners and managers, but also tenants of buildings of businesses and employees. and, so, the outreach we conducted includes presenting

at the annual building owners and managers code fair including the deadline and description of the ordinance in our newsletter which was sent to over 4500 subscribers in early january. [speaker not understood] on twitter. initial post was retweeted by boma as well as other tenant advocacy groups. sfa has over 14,000 followers on our twitter count and for the ordinance purposes, this is a great way to reach tenants. businesses and individuals ~. we also created a similar post on sfa facebook. it has over 4400 likes on facebook and, again, it is a great way to reach individuals and let them know about this ordinance so that they can talk to their property managers.

the ordinance and the compliance deadline is also featured on the home page of sfma home page. we sent [speaker not understood] guide to other partner agencies and associations. this is an example from boma log where they use some of our communications messages to promote the ordinance and also the deadline to their, to their memorandum we arex. we've also reached out to other commercial property owner/managers, association including the international facility [speaker not understood] ~. and the professional property management association. [speaker not understood] also use our communications to reach out to their members who again are mainly tenants, their businesses and employees. lastly, we organize our website

and created a vanity link, sf [speaker not understood].org/bike access. the page includes bicycle access form and exception form for easy completion. it also has an anonymous tenant complaint form and [speaker not understood] building owners and managers as well as tenants. for continuing outreach after the 31st deadline, we are continuing to conduct additional and regular outreach to increase awareness of the ordinance and integrating it more fully with our business outreach and our commuter outreach. again, we will continue to work with our [speaker not understood] outreach team as well as our partner associations in getting the message out. with that, thank you for your time and i'm happy to answer any questions you might have. >> very well done. (applause) >> thanks.

>> we have commissioner stephenson. >> could you just repeat for somebody that may be watching, if you work at an office or any kind of building that doesn't allow you to park your bike what they should do? >> they should -- they can use an anonymous tenant complaint form to tell us about -- >> where is that? >> that's on our website. there is a very clear link. there is a tenant link and the tenant complaint form is embedded onto our website. >> sf environment.org/bike ac0s >> bike access. >> thank you. >> [speaker not understood]. >> do you track sort of engagement on the social media, tweets? do you ever promote them? >> promote tweets? >> promote facebook posts or kind of spend money to kind of

raise the frequency [speaker not understood]? >> we have not paid for any kind of special posting on facebook. we work closely with our outreach team to retweet, tweet at different organizations to get the word out there and more people seeing the posts. but in terms of any kind of formalized process, we have not conducted that yet. >> do you track sort of how many people see them? >> yes. for the link that was on the twitter post and the facebook post is unique so we can track how many people have opened the link or liked it or things of that nature. >> so, can you give us some idea of how many people clicked on the link? >> yeah,
