women receive equal pay for equal work it's groundbreaking and now on the other places in san francisco it is significant i want to thank supervisor campos so far bringing this forward talking with someone they suggested is there a way to actually loop in people who receive a tax break from the city perhaps like our tweeter tax break or you know, i thought it was a useful idea one worth checking out but i think that it legislation should move forward i think we should probably engage in a further discussion to expand to add in companies that receive a tax break from the city i want to suggest along with supervisor campos that ascent is to duplicate the file send back to committee with our

name on it as the author so we can vote when we explorer the idea of looking at people that receive a tacks break from the city i think that creating that relationship they have voluntarily apply for the tax break we can ask them how they're doing in making sure that women are being paid equally for the same work that men do i ask a motion to duplicate the file and, of course, the one that remains here move forward. >> is there a second second by supervisor campos colleagues, any discussion on that to duplicate? okay. well ma'am, >> okay. on the motion to duplicate and send back to committee discussions supervisor campos. >> thank you

let me say this is i think it's really important we take a vote on the ordinance as proposed today and as i understand the motion by supervisor avalos we'll be able to do that and the reason why i seconded the motion i think that as the current version of the legislation moves forward it is appropriate for us in committee to discuss whether or not we should add to the requirement that exists in the law that currently is drafts to require those entities that want to get a tax break from the city to actually provide the information i think that's something that makes a grateful of sense and at a minimum deserves more consideration and the motion will allow that to happen the fact is the same principle applies anyone that is

getting a break and enter from the city whether it's by way of a contract or tax break should understand that with that benefit comes the idea that you report on whether or not your painstakingly men and women equally it's in that spirit i support that effort. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you president chiu just wanted to also weigh in and thank supervisor campos for to get this discussion going as we can subtle we're going to continue having this discussion the fact that it is illegal to give different pay for gender and we don't have enough information to see whether or not it's true is important we collect the data i was as a father of two daughters and my wife still works and i would if i'm looking

at the situation peron where personal or for the people in san francisco it's important for us to get behind what is wrong and make sure that everybody gets equal pay whether it's could be a pattern where even a reverse on that but i doubt as dominant as women getting paid less than men i was ready to vote on it a few weeks and ready now. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you supervisor campos for bringing this forward i know there are generations and decades of activists that are in the audience and also following this i think the culture of secrecy around description is something from the merna work at jamestown to bigger entities like sf general this is to

address it in an continental way with the recent package of the workers bill of rights that impacts immigrants and people of color it is a step towards equal pay i know there's a long way to go i want to thank supervisor campos and hillary for making us aware of the new mexico. executive order and the coalition of women's organizations that brought this forward for years and thank our strong wemgz leaders for keeping the pressure on this board and city hall to make sure we have wage equality and address sexism

thank you. >> supervisor campos. >> thank you, mr. president i want to make one final .1 of the things that was moving for me in the process of working on this piece of legislation was seeing especially how some of the older women share their stories we heard in that chamber scombrain morrison who now in her nos talked about how the company that she worked for as a woman it was very clear she was never going to be promoted in her experience training a lot of men that came in that company and went on to become you know her bosses even though she was clearly nor qualified i want to take a personal note the opportunity to thank all the women who have shared the stories with us and the one

thing i'll say to the jane morrison's of the world of san francisco i'm sorry it took so long to get to this point but we have knives and daughters and sisters the hope that the young girls and women that live in san francisco will not have to go through that because of those types of efforts thank you. >> with that, we have a duplicated file as suggested by supervisor avalos there's a motion to supervisor avalos is it to refer to committee or your duplicated portion back to committee. >> to duplicate and refer back to committee and keep the original one here to vote on today. >> the duplicate company is not here the motion to refer this

was second by supervisor campos colleagues we'll take that without objection. that's the case and on the ordinance as amended roll call vote. >> supervisor mar. >> supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed supervisor campos supervisor chiu supervisor farrell supervisor kim there are 10 i's.

i do feel very strongly that we need to look at this issue within a board complexity of the stock of are we talking about controlled housing within our city and losing rental control units over one thousand per year we're noted building that many it is rapidly stling this project will xoosh two residential units and will replace them with 6, 3 bedroom unite increasing the housing stock but eliminating two units of rent control and each other also i'll say the demolitions of the building like this are not in the richmond district by throughout the city i'm trying to keep that in prospective we have to focus on sections 303 and 317 from our codes i want to

say i was trying to look at the infraction framing we're trying to make tough decisions one year ago the mayor ed lee issued a directive 1301 for the preservation of housing stock any read of that directive we should be doing everything to preserve the rental housing stock as we're going through building more market rate units especially and also trying to understand how this to listen to the san francisco housing plan with the objectives one, 2 and 4 that really promote the preservation of the existing affordable housing stock in our city as well with that, i'll say that the residents who are in support of the appeal i feel they're

raising significant and important concerns about the loss of this affordable housing and whether a project like this t is fittings within our mayors directives and so i'll look forward to the testimony from both sides but i have those concerns of the loss and don't guess of the sound rent control housing in our city >> with that, thank you supervisor mar the appellant mr. wimdz. >> thank you president chiu steve williams on behalf of the appellants in this case and the surrounding property owners and residents thank you supervisor mar so far that introduction and that is the focus of our appeal so those concerns around housing we're here to challenge the planning department conditional use authorization for the don't guess of a building on the corner of 26th avenue and

clemente street that has is two affordable housing the subject site in the outer commercial district and the subject lot is one of two development lots on that particular block that is sdoebd within the commercial district if i could have the overhead here's the lot here it is just captured by the neighborhood commercial district the rest of the block is zoned residential planning department approval the conditional use authorization demolish those at a supplied vote of three to four with commissioner wu and commissioner moore voting against the authorization and in favor of saving those affordable unit

departments analysis in this sustains is simply wrong the may or may not finding this project is necessary and desirable for the community can't possibly be sustained there's an overwhelming policy and humanitarian mandate by the affordability choice so the board should deny it and help the existing affordable housing unit are those my words, no the departments words i invite i to look at the departments analysis that has a merger under section 317 please review the attachment as exhibit 3 and 4 which are the departments analysis in exhibit 3 from july of this year and the merger of 3 units on

third avenue in the richmond district and exhibit 4 from this year for the merger of two flats at 812 on green street if you read those are analyze done by the department the department statistics there's an extraordinary and exceptional circumstance created by the affordability crisis in response to the directive from the mayor which is attached to exhibit 2 and the department has said therefore we have to deny all mergers not losing a single unit especially affordable units in those circumstances the analysis was the elimination of smaller and affordable units and replacing those with lesser units it inconsistent with the general plan and both the

exhibits 3 and 4 says that that is inconsistent with the general plan the department inexplain ably reaches the opposite conclusion and called the new luxury condo to be put in on clemente department does note tyler balancing going on there are policies and regulations and the housing that are in conflict there's tension between the creation of less affordable new housing and the retention of those smaller affordable rent controls this is nothing new that is this issue has existed for decades the resolution of that is also existed for decades it is found in the priority

policies of the general plan established by prop m as i spell out on page 2 of our supplemental brief the priority policies were specifically established to be the basis on which inconsistent in the general plan are to are resolved if the department finds itself in conflict with building new concussion it has to find in favor of preserving the existing housing this is what the policies are for and why they're there department and developer failed to address this issue at all they don't mention the priority policies not even referenced in either brief albert einstein said one can't simultaneously prevent and prepare for war it it doesn't

take a genus to see that one standpoint simultaneously prevent the program and at the same time allow professional developers speculating in our residential neighborhoods to demolish sound affordable rent control units every don't guess the sound like affordable and rerld units is a direct attack on residents rights it's an attack on the integrity and an attack on the promise made by the establishment of that system the failure to enforce the policies is one of the rot causes of the affordability crisis in this city most recent controllers report referenced by supervisor mar tells us the city has losses more 2 thousand rent control units others as metcalf over at

spur and the tenants union say it is much honoree that they're being lost to demolition or converging and replacement with no construction that is not subject to rent control during this crisis every supervisor and every elected official for the city has you talked the talk wanting to fight the affordable crisis and wanting to keep the poor and less affluent in our city this is where you get to walk the walk and show the talk is more than empty words and you care about displacement and ugly be the check and balance against what the mayor says in our residential neighborhoods the department analysis is full of excuses it says
