olympics in russia and just when you thought russia would get the gold medal for home phobia and intalliance, the state of arizona decides to give russia a run for its money. i am giving a resolution to talk about the bill 1062 which enables individuals and businesses in the state of arizona a right to refuse service to anyone targeting [inaudible] based on the guides of religious freedom. i want to note that because the arizona governor has until friday february 28 to act i request this item be put on the agenda so the board of supervisor can take a stand against this law [inaudible] as clearly as we can. [inaudible]
2:54 pm
provides essentially license to discriminate because it allows any individual corporation [inaudible] the right to refuse service to a individual if that owner believes doing so would violate their religion. it is important to note that similar laws have been struck down in new mexico and we respect the freedom of religion, it cannot be used for a exkoos for individuals to treat residence of that state whether it is [inaudible] based upon some perceived identification and treating them as inferior based on their religious beliefs mpt 1062 is a dangerous precedent
2:55 pm
[inaudible] so long as they claim office under their religious beliefs. i want to note that since the state legislator enacted sb 1062 a nov civil rights leader and officials and businesses and mbs of different parts of the industry including the torest of industry flout the country have come out against 106 fwo and urged governor [inaudible] in fact arizona senators bob [inaudible] peerpal that were in support of the bill sent letter to the senate and governor urgeer her not to sign
2:56 pm
this bill. as the mayor of [inaudible] i think it is important for us in san francisco, a sitee that has lodge been at the for front of protecting the rights of all people and special the rights of [inaudible] we take a clear stance against this legislation and this resolution will do a number of things. first, it will put the city and the board of supervisors on record as opposing sb 1062 and send a message to governor [inaudible] not to sign 1062 and if she decides to sign it the board of supervisors here in san francisco urges the city to renew the boy caught of arizona. that we call upon city departments to the extent [inaudible] to refrain from entering into any new or amendment contracts for the
2:57 pm
services of good or contract station izin arizona and will take every step we can to sending [inaudible] review contracts for the purchase of goods and services from comps in arizonas. this resolution would also establish that we as the board of supervisors, that the law is signed and encouraged [inaudible] san francisco business to refrain from doing business in the state of arizona. we believe that it is important for the rest of the country to send that very clear message. we also endorse whautd our city attorney has done, which is to offer to lend a resource of his office to cooperate in a legal challenge to sb 1062. we i think have a history of
2:58 pm
standing 41 people who are the subject of discrimination and we want our breathers and sisters in arizona to hear from san francisco that they are not alone. thank you very much >> thank you sfr visor compose. president chew >> thank you i have 2 items today. first is to support a state bill [inaudible] many are spending a lot of time focusing on the topic of affordable housing and [inaudible] to the state at this time 7 of the top 10 cities that have been hit hardest by the for closer crisis are in california. [inaudible] 72 percent of people that are homeless in the state are experiencing homelessness because they ceent afford a place to live. as many know, in 2002 and 06, the
2:59 pm
state of california provided 333 million dollars for housing in the state of saf [inaudible] they are drying up. would insure we raise about a half billion dollars annually and leverage [inaudible] in the affordable housing [inaudible] it is my hope we will be on record in supporting the bill. want to thank supervisor mar, kim and [inaudible] to understand the needs of services for violent crimes.
