legislation is structured, it allows for the kind of interaction that we envision and, in fact, the point of the advisory committee is to address some of the questions that supervisor tang raised. if we're already collecting data, do we really need it to add any requirements? so to take those kinds of things into account. so, that would be my suggestion. and again, i thank my colleagues for their support. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you. i actually wanted to appreciate supervisor breed's comment about how there isn't a person on the advisory board with nonprofit experience. and speaking to what supervisor katy tang also brought up, i think it certainly make sense that we have a nonprofit member on this advisory board. and, so, an amendment that i would proffer is that seat 7, which was really a general seat, could be a person that

works in the nonprofit sector that has a contract, i assume, with the city to be able to give advice on how this would impact nonprofits that would fall under this category. i just want to reiterate, just because our office did spend quite a bit of time putting together a policy that impacted many of our employers, the fair chance act which i coauthored with supervisor malia cohen, that was a ten-month process to put together the actual specifics of what the fair chance ordinance would look like, and this is how it actually impact our employees in not doing the background checks at first application. and because of the length of time it took to meet with all of our stakeholders and make sure that we were taking everyone's input into our ordinance, for me i guess why i would push on why we should pass this now and get the process started is that in

order for a ten-month process to work out between now and september, we really need to get the equal pay advisory committee going in november. that would really give them about ten months to meet with all the stakeholders and take in all the input and feedback that we're both hearing at the board chamber from our colleagues, but also from the multiple stakeholders, commissions and departments that would like to have feedback. no one disagrees with the intent of the policy. everyone agrees in equal pay for equal work, and everyone also agrees that the entities that we contract public dollars to should report to the city and should be accountable to this and maybe they'll learn there is some unconscious bias in how they pay women and male employees. and i actually believe most of our small businesses and nonprofits through the process if they discover there is pay inequity, that they will move quickly to rectify that issue because no one wants to be responsible for something that

we all believe in. so, i still think that this needs to move forward merely because i think to set up the process and time for the recommendations to be ready and for the process to take place in september that it makes sense to get the advisory board as much time as possible. ~. obviously i will defer to the author on this, but that's just my quip for why we should pass it today. but the recommendation that i would make is to change that seat 7 for a person that works in a nonprofit organization that contracts with the city. >> supervisor tang? >> thank you. i don't know if there is an opportunity to second that motion, but i fully agree with supervisor kim's suggestion and thank you for that. i also want to acknowledge that, yes, i did have an opportunity to speak with supervisor campos and really the goal is just to get a few more departments or commissions ability to provide some of those suggestions on this legislation. so, for example, the department of children youth and families, you know, were not consulted

about this and i think they have a huge role in this legislation. so, i would actually like to withdraw my motion and make a motion instead to continue this item to the full board for the november 25th meeting instead, giving some time for some of those other stakeholders to participate in the process. and also if by that time, you know, issues have not been sorted out we would still have to entertain another moment to continue potentially the full board. but i want to respect supervisor campos' desire not to send it back to committee so that is my motion. >> okay, supervisor tang has withdrawn her initial motion and she has made a motion to continue this item to the 25th of november. with that, supervisor cohen. >> thank you. i support that motion. >> second by supervisor cohen. >> and i also want to just adi, too, wish this process to unfold. the last week-and-a-half i thought about the fair chance ordinance that supervisor kim and i have worked on and it was

a year long intent, almost a year long process. for me what made me uncomfortable, i'm now happen that i we're going to be continuing this item, but i what uncomfortable because i felt like the intent was very narrow and that we hadn't talked to all of our community partners. and advocates on the -- that's on the front line. i support supervisor kim's motion as well to see that seat number 7 is changed to require a nonprofit representative on the side of an important voice that what left out. thank you. >> supervisor farrell. >> thank you, first i want to thank supervisor campos for bring this item forward. i want to thank everyone for their comments and supervisor tang for her leadership in identifying some of the issues and questions about the logistics here. i think supervisor kim and everyone else mentioned they support this legislation, and

just logistics that need to be worked out. i want to thank supervisor tang and supervisor campos to find a solution today that will hopefully move this forward in short order. >> colleague, i believe at the time i think we have supervisor tang's motion to continue this item to the 25th of november and i believe i had heard a motion to amend from supervisor kim which supervisor tang had seconded as well as a set of motions to amend by supervisor campos which i believe have also been seconded. is that correct, madam clerk? >> yes, mr. president. >> okay. so, typically the motion to continue to a date certain would take precedence over the motion to amend. what i'd like to ask is can we without objection take the motions to amend first and then consider the motion to continue to a date certain? >> i'd like to propose a different alternative. >> supervisor avalos. >> i'd like to propose that we divide the file, [speaker not understood] back to committee and vote today on the existing ordinance before us so that we

can actually move something forward and we can bring um the divided file to -- after it goes to committee with any language we want to clean up so that gives us the opportunity to set something in motion right away because we cannot delay equal pay for women. and we cannot -- should have follow-up legislation that could do any clean up work that needs to get done. so, split the file, vote today on one file, send one back to committee. >> okay. so, supervisor avalos is making i believe a motion that we duplicate, that we duplicate the file and we vote on one and then refer one back to committee. that's been seconded by supervisor mar. okay. so, at this time we have two files. madam clerk, do you recommend we amend one or vote on the existing one and potentially amend the other and send it back to committee if that's what we're going to do? >> i agree with that, mr. president. >> okay. so, the two files have been

duplicated. one file -- why don't we take a first roll call vote unless -- is there further discussion on this? supervisor campos. >> thank you. i want to again look forward to working with my colleagues with the comments. i do support the idea, you know, i think this gives us an opportunity to make a statement, move something forward but at the same time make sure we have a process for these other bodies to look at this. thank you. >> stanchion. >> sure. i just wanted to clarify i do stand by my original, i guess amended motion to send it to the full committee on november 25th. ~ supervisor tang i think dividing the file defeats the purpose of exactly what i was trying to state earlier which is the whole process with all the various departments, thank you very much. and, so, i just wanted to say that i would like to reiterate,

i know that [speaker not understood] the city attorney dividing the file takes precedence as well? >> madam clerk? >> mr. chair, it is a single supervisor's privilege to duplicate the file. >> thank you. and, so, i don't know how that would work, but i would still like to make that motion that we continue this to the full board for november 25th. >> so, madam clerk, if that motion has been made that we continue it so as we would vote on either portion of the duplicated file, i believe the motion to continue both of these items to the 25th -- would we need to vote for each item to continue to a date certain? >> yes, mr. president. the motion to continue to a date certain continues to take precedence. >> okay. if that is the case, then, unless there is any further discussion, supervisor wiener? >> just for further clarification. right now duplicated two versions of this and it is a motion to continue applicable to both or just to one version? >> i believe, supervisor

avalos, one version. >> one version that i would like to amend with the amendment of the whole to send back to committee and my intent was to -- the one that stays at the full board gets voted on today. so, i won't support a continuance. >> my understanding is supervisor tang would like to continue if we have a duplicated file, continue both of these items to the 25th. is that right? okay. supervisor breed. >> so, we haven't approved the amendments. are we going to do they have simultaneously? >> we have not approved the amendments yet. at this time, supervisor avalos has duplicated the file so they're two identical fightxv. supervisor tang has made a motion that i guess -- sorry. ~ files to our clerkv, we need to take separate votes for each of these? >> yes, mr. president. >> separate votes for the amendments? >> no, we're going to -- the motion that has precedence right now is to continue each of these items to the date certain to november 25th. >> so, we're not going to take any amendments horn either item?

i just want to clarify. ~ on either >> because there is a motion to continue, that takes precedence over any motion to amend. >> okay, thank you. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you. i will support the motion to continue, but i also, you know, will support the idea of bringing -- approaching an item forward as well. i think it allows us to do both, so, i don't know how it works in terms of how we take each motion, but i just want to -- >> i think what supervisor tang -- >> let me resolve this. i'm going to withdraw my motion. my motion was to actually vote today on the existing ordinance to have something that could be put on the books as quickly a possible because we cannot delay equal pay for women any more than it's delayed for decades. and that we could send one back to committee where we can do the clean up language, move forward to the full board. but if supervisor tang's motion to a date certain takes

precedence, then i don't want to create any more process and that seems to be where the direction is going. i'll withdraw my motion. >> okay. so, at this time there is just one file. supervisor tang has made a motion to continue that one file to november the 25th. is there a second to that motion? seconded by supervisor cohen. colleagues, do we need a roll call or can we take that without objection? supervisor kim. >> i'm sorry. does that mean we can't maytion a motion to amend? >> because supervisor tang made a motion to continue to a date certain. that motion takes precedence over a motion to amend. unless there is objection. >> just a friendly, if we could do the motion to amend prior to the motion to continue. >> kay, that's where we are right now. >> through the chair, i would be okay with that, absolutely. >> okay, without objection we have two sets of amendments. the first offered by supervisor campos as he's described them. supervisor campos, could you describe your amendments again? >> thank you, mr. president.

this is to address the issue of the privacy of some of the information and specifically is on -- sorry -- page -- >> page 5 line 24. >> page 5 line 24, the city will not disclose any information contained in the equal pay report that qualifies as a trade secret or proprietary information. >> so, supervisor campos has made that motion to amend. madam clerk, who was that seconded by? >> supervisor kim. >> second by supervisor kim. colleagues, can we take that motion without objection? without objection that should be the case. [gavel] >> and supervisor kim made a motion to amend. if you would like to restate that motion to amend. >> my motion to amend is to change seat 7 to be a person that works in a nonprofit organization that contracts with the city. , and you know, i'm sure the city attorney would make that a little cleaner. >> okay. and i believe that was seconded by supervisor tang. >> that's correct. >> and, colleagues, can we take that motion to amend without objection?

without objection that should be the case. [gavel] >> and then now on the motion to continue this item to november the 25th, colleagues, can we do that without objection or do we need a roll call? without objection -- >> as amended, mr. president. >> i'm sorry? >> as amended. >> as amended. without objection this item as amended will be continued to november the 25th. [gavel] >> and with that, why don't we go to item 28. >> item 28 is an ordinance amending the police code to repeal the prohibition on entering or remaining within a 25-foot buffer zone of a reproductive health care facility; to prohibit individuals from following or harassing others within 25 feet of the entrance to such a facility; to prohibit impeding access to the door of such a facility; and to prohibit excessive noise through yelling or amplification of sound within 50 feet of such facility. >> colleagues, any discussion? supervisor campos. >> thank you very much, mr. president. i'm not going to repeat the comments that i have made

before, but the bottom line is this, that we have a supreme court ruling that impacted the law that we passed for the purpose of protecting the right of women to access reproductive health. it's been three years since planned parenthood has opened, opened in my district, and almost immediately upon opening its doors the staff and patients, the back clinic have been harassed and intimidated by protesters. the freestanding clinic is in a very interesting geographic spot. it's in a relatively narrow sidewalk and every week as women enter the clinic to receive reproductive health services, they must pass by several protesters who scream thing like "don't kill your baby, abortion causes breast cancer." they are forced to walk by a barrage of posters aligning the

streets. the 8-foot posters contain pictures of bloody fetuses he at different stages of gestation and phases like repent or burn. oftentimes really just music is playing on a radio and the protesters actually have video cameras facing the door as the women and the workers enter that clinic. in addition to the protesters, women often have to walk by counter protesters, usually neighbors or pedestrians who, with good intentions, sometimes get into arguments with the protesters, all of which makes it harder for these women to access this clinic. anyone would feel harassed and intimidated having to pass by this scene. and if you're a woman seeking sensitive health services who has made the difficult decision to obtain an abortion, this harassment could be actually detrimental to your health. last year we passed unanimously

here at this board a 25-foot buffer zone ordinance to protect the women. unfortunately at the end of this year, the supreme court in the colin v. cokely invalidated a similar massachusetts buffer zone law that was substantially similar to the one in san francisco. for the last few months my office and i have been working with the city attorney's office, with the police department, with planned parenthood to amend this buffer zone law so that it is compliant with mccullen, but still accomplishes the twin objectives of allowing women to safely and securely access reproductive health, but at the same time protecting the first amendment rights of these protesters. i believe that our law today strikes through that balance. this legislation will continue to allow quiet consensual

conversations between anti-abortion counselors and women seeking services without subjecting planned parenthood's patients and staff to scary and intimidating harassment and conflict. my legislation does the following. it prohibits anyone from following and harassing any person within 25 feet of a reproductive health care facility. it prohibits impeding access at the door of a reproductive health facility. it prohibits individuals from shouting or using amplified sound on any public street or sidewalk within 50 feet of the property line of a reproductive health facility. and if an individual violates any of these prohibitions after a written warning, a police officer may require that individual to disperse and remain 25 feet from the health facility for eight hours or until the close of business of that facility. again, i want to thank the city

attorney's office. i want to thank especially deputy city attorney aaron burnstein who has done an amazing job in drafting this amended legislation. i especially want to thank the workers at planned parenthood and the women who have had to deal and put up with this harassment for so many years. as i have said before and i will continue to say, if we cannot protect a woman's right to choose in san francisco then where in this country can that right actually be protected? (applause) >> i ask for your support. and i want to thank supervisor wiener for his co-sponsorship of this legislation. thank you. >> colleague, any further discussion? let's take a roll call vote on item 28. >> on item 28, supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? >> aye. >> farrell aye. supervisor kim? >> aye. >> kim aye. supervisor mar? mar aye. supervisor tang?

>> aye. >> tang aye. supervisor wiener? >> aye. >> wiener aye. supervisor yee? >> aye. >> yee aye. supervisor avalos? >> aye. >> supervisor avalos? supervisor breed? aye. campos aye. chiu aye. there are 11 ayes. >> ordinance is passed on the first reading. [gavel] >> and with that, colleague, we have a number of 3 o'clock and 3:30 special orders. what i would like to suggest is because we have many people in the audience here for our 3:30 special commendation is that we take the filipino-american heritage month commendations first. but as soon as we finish them, we will go back to our two 3:00 p.m. special orders. so, with that, colleague, because we often start either at the beginning or the end of district numbers or the alphabet, what i would like to suggest is that we start in the middle of our numerical districts with district 5 and then head to district 6 and then go in order up the chain and then to district 1, finishing with district 4. so, with that, that means

supervisor london breed goes first today. supervisor breed. >> yea. >> excuse me, actually, supervisor chiu or president chiu, i actually was going to introduce the whole thing then we can go to that order that you mentioned. >> i'm sorry, i didn't realize that you were going to do that. i'm happy to -- >> i apologize that had not been communicated to you. and that's my fault. >> supervisor avalos. >> thank you. >> sorry, supervisor breed. so, colleagues, thank you for joining supervisor jane kim and myself in commemorating october filipino-american history month by bringing together such a great slate of individuals and organizations who have done so much to represent well our diverse filipino community in san francisco. we have also been coordinating with the mayor's office who will also hold their filipino-american history month celebration this afternoon at 5:00 p.m. at the rotunda. it will probably be a quick ceremony unfortunately because the giants are up.

[speaker not understood]. so, for all the honorees and their family and friends, i hope you can also stay to join the program later in the reception. as you know, the theme for our commemoration is legacy, celebrating the contributions of the filipino community in san francisco. this event theme draws upon the deep history and rich legacy of filipinos and their contribution to a tradition of education, service, community organizing, to up lift all communities in san francisco. filipinos are known for their people power and here in the u.s. they have brought this tradition, organizing towards building multi-racial solidarity with many communities. from the united farm workers organizing starting in the 1930s towards the historic boycott to the third world strike of the 1960s, the hotel struggle of the 1970s, the martial law protests of the 1980s, and the justice for [speaker not understood]

campaign starting in 2000, a rich legacy of filipinos working with other communities to address injustice and inequities in housing rights, in the workplace, and in our education institutions. i want to thank supervisor jane kim for co-sponsoring this event and she was going to start us off next, but i think we'll go in the order that -- should we go with you? we should go with you next. supervisor kim, just start us off to be followed by the order that supervisor -- president chiu has put forward. supervisor kim. do your commendation. >> okay, all right. i'm really proud to co-sponsor filipino heritage month this october. supervisor avalos and i do represent the largest filipino-american communities here in san francisco in district 6 and district 11. and what is so amazing about

our community is how active this community is and the strength of the leadership over the decades in the excelsior, in the south of market, and also in the tenderloin where we have new growing leadership and activism in this neighborhood over the last four years. supervisor avalos already went through the deep contributionses that the filipino-american community have made here in san francisco. they have been a part of building the city, both the infrastructure and our actual buildings, but also our -- a deep part of the history of our activism that makes san francisco what it is today, whether it's the fight for more affordable housing, the fight against gentrification, the fight for equality both economically and in our civil rights, filipino americans have a really central role in the leadership here in san francisco to make this a more

equitable city for everyone. and, so, today i have the honor of commending dr. mario a.borja, our honoree for the first filipino history month at the board of supervisors. i wanted to ask dr. borja to please come up if he is here. and the [speaker not understood] center community. as i had mentioned, by the 1940s, the south of market had unquestionably become the home of as well as the center of work, recreation, and worship for san francisco's filipino-american community. by the 1970s, filipino families began to move to the south of market and the filipino education center became the newcomer center for new arrivals and the south of market has proudly had the highest concentration of filipino americans in san francisco in this time. dr. borja who is our honoree

today immigrated to the u.s. in 1957 after graduating from medical school. he opened the practice in the mission with his wife, dr. escobar and his dream was to open a community center for all filipinos to learn about their rich american history, 67c.103ing culture and lasting traditions. in 1976 dr. borja purchased the delta hotel on sixth and mission to begin the realization of this dream and vision that he had. in march 1997, borja created the nonprofit filipino-american development foundation to assist with the establishing of a permanent community center in the first floor of the delta hotel. a couple of months later the fire severely damaged this hotel and nearly ended his dreams for the community. but after a successful deal working with the tenants and owner development corporation, better known as todco our nonprofit housing manager in the south of market, they were able to save this dream.

dr. borja sold the delta hotel to todd co in 199 and the delta hotel would remain permanent as low-income housing for everyone, especially world war ii veterans displaced by the fire. ~ 1999 and that the hotel would be renamed to [speaker not understood] directly translating into community's house, more specifically describing the mutual support and a caring a community provides to one another. once the sale was complete and the future [speaker not understood] house was going through the repairs, dr. borja's daughter who is here today began to realize the other aspect of her father's dream for the filipino community and san francisco and work with our many district 6 including veterans equity center, south of market community action network and oasis [speaker not understood] to make this a reality ~. once the repairs are completed and the hotel was reopened, the

[speaker not understood] community center opened in 2005. ten years ago dr. borja died in the philippines one year before seeing the vision [speaker not understood]. but his memory lives on in the tenants of fadf -- fadf. and the [speaker not understood] center has held countless community meetings and strategy sessions including -- many including our office [speaker not understood] we stabilize the south of market community and continue to support our organizations whether it be [speaker not understood] the only filipino performance venue in the country. his daughter burnadette sy [speaker not understood] is here to accept the [speaker not understood]. i also want to take a moment to

recognize you, burnadette, who i personally got to know during my years in office. your tireless leadership, countless unpaid hours on behalf of our community is so appreciated. you're at every meeting talking about even the tiniest developments whether they're five units, hundreds of units to see how we can make sure we are building a south of market that remains affordable for all and diverse to all of our communities. so, if just want to thank you for your continuing leadership in honoring your father's vision here in the south of market and making it a reality ~. (applause) >> i quickly want to say thank you. i know you have a long program, and to introduce my sister, bernice sy as well.

(applause) >> thank you, supervisor kim. why don't we proceed actually rather than going from 5, 6 on, down, down to district 5 and then down to district 4 and we'll proceed in that order. supervisor breed. >> thank you. today district 5 is honoring chris [speaker not understood]. i hope i pronounced your last name right. chris is the executive director of the asian law caucus. i'm sure many of you are familiar with him and his work, but he is a
