. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good evening. i was sitting in the audience just now. it was almost comical to me how our supervisor and my supervisor was worried about the sugar consumption of black people. well, let's look at this. black people of bay view's point get 1 percent of the amount being spent if you don't know it. 55 percent of black people are prisoners. if you want something to talk about, i'll give smug to talk about. i don't understand why for the life of me why supervisors, particularly black supervisors

don't understand the days to put black people out of san francisco are damn near over. how can you just think that these white people are not interested in putting black people out of san francisco? if you think that, you're crazy. this has been going on for the last 50 years and now we're down to the point where i was at a meeting last week and was requested to ask you to name bay view hunterer's point africa town. and that was funny in that meeting because it's all right to have china town, korea town, japan town but it ain't okay to have african town. slavery was light at one time. in the constitution, black people were not human. so now we're in the 21st century and there's a law, proposition

209 says the white contractor does not have to employ black contractors. that is why black people are not working on no jocks in bay view hunter's point. you need to look and it is more serious than you got any idea it is. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, my name is duane gains and i'm also from hunter's point. i'm 50 years old and a native of san francisco. i was born in san francisco general hospital. i've seen the black panthers. i've seen fine stein. i've seen mascoy. im unemployed and i have a two bedroom with my son. i'm a native. why am i unemployed?

all i've done here is construction. there's no more love and no more community. all of that is gone in fine stein. this is all about money now. how many supervisors or people work in the city are actually natives or live in the city? it's not many of us around. and then the ones that are still around -- excuse me, they're getting shit and pissed on. this is my city. i graduated in 1983 and i got a letter from galvin new some. it's sad. it's really sad. we're having a mayor coming up and we need guys to look at us and see where this money is going and how it's going. we need to

see how we can benefit from it instead of the outside communities coming and getting the refun /ud and we're getting ripped off. i'm still a native from san francisco. thank you for listening. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, my name is john and i'm a are not from district five. i would like to thank all the representatives for your wonderful work and i would like to thank you for the intelligence and help of protecting san francisco from the sweets and beverages. i would like to thank representative farrell on taking away the chewing tobacco. thank you for your leadership. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello, my 3

it's worse than any country and you are talking to politics of the united states. the biggest mistake is when the jewish organization came to the soviet union and said if you come to the united states, you will live like people. no, we're living like dogs, like animals. this is not people on the street, it's animals. we call them homeless people. it's a lie. it's animals. >> thank you. are there any other mexico who would like to provide any public comment at this time? seeing none, public

today madam president. . >> can . >> can you please at this time read the consent agenda? >> the small business commission to establish a region a registry and authorize a a a $50 fee. >> thank you very much i want to thank my cosponsors and supervisor farrell and supervisor yee after speaking with supervisor tang and others about the particular legacy businesses in their districts that might not be protected under the legislation i'd like to make the amendment to the legislation. we are removing the category of businesses that were eligible for recognition and instead have included language that would allow the

mayor or any supervisor to nominate a business in their district and the idea there is no one knows the businesses better than the various supervisors who represent that district and we're also asking that the small business commission hold a hearing to determine if they meet the following criteria the business has operated in san francisco for for 30 years or more that the business has contributed to the neighborhood history and or the identity of a police a particular neighborhood or community and that the that the business was founded or currently how head quartered in san francisco we're also asking the small business commission to survey legacy businesses and the legacy business program and to make recommendations to this board of supervisors in a way we can provide assistance support and

education and we want that report to be presented to us by by september 30th so with that, i make a motion to amend the ordinance along the lines that i described and i believe that copies of the amended language have been provided. >> okay. supervisor campos has made a motion to to make amendments seconded by supervisor cohen and without objection the amendment has passed and you are aware this is now a first reading for approval. >> that is correct. >> madam clerk can you please call the role. >> supervisor farrell aye supervisor kim supervisor kim aye supervisor mar aye supervisor tang aye supervisor wiener aye supervisor yee aye supervisor avalos aye president breed aye supervisor campos aye supervisor christensen aye supervisor cohen aye.

>> there are 11 ayes. >> this ordinances passed unanimously on the first reading. madam clerk can you please call item number 2? >> supervisor cohen is seeking recognition. >> i apologize is it for item number 1. >> thank you. i just wanted to compliment you i think this is a very good piece of legislation and i'll be looking closely to see if there's ways to duplicate it so san francisco can protect its legacy businesses and maintain that cultural diversity that we seem to be losing so good job. >> thank you supervisor appreciate it. >> thank you. madam clerk please call item 2. >> expand the scope to apply to all city departments to revise complaint procedures and the plan requirement. >> without objection this

ordinance is finally passed unanimously. >> item 3 a resolution to approve the the foreign currency exchange and the city with the first year of 5.4 million minimum annual guarantee. without objection this resolution is adopted unanimously. >> item 4 a resolution to authorize the department of public health to accept and expand 67.4 $67.4 million gift from the san francisco general hospital foundation for the for the for the new hospital procurement and to name the institution the priscilla zuckerberg.

>> i'm really excited and i know a number of you are as well and i want to very quickly thank the people who made this monumental gift possible and of course mark zuckerberg and priscilla zuckerberg and the president of the san francisco hospital foundation board i believe they are here today so i'd like to have them stand and i would like to give them a round of applause on behalf of the board. >> and i just wanted to take this moment to just really thank you for your hard work i know raising money for this hospital isn't easy and we

truly appreciate that and we're really excited for this gift and what it's going to do for the hospital and i'm excited to to move this forward for a vote. colleagues, can we take this item. seeing no objections this resolution is adopted unanimously. congratulations and thank you again. madam clerk can you please call item 5. >> a resolution to authorize the sheriff's department to enter into an amendment to ensure continuous telephone service to inmates while a competitive bidding process is modified. >> item 6 an ordinance to appropriate 3.4 million

responsibility to fund with agencies that contract with the cities. >> thank you president breed colleagues this is cosponsored by supervisor campos supervisor avalos and supervisor kim supervisor kim supervisor kim and as many of the community based organizations and workers and leaders of the nonprofit sector rallied over the past year i'm calling them nonprofit justice they have come to the board numerous times and this board in august passed a resolution prioritizing approval of this supplemental appropriation.

now this supplemental is cosponsors by supervisor campos supervisor avalos supervisor kim supervisor kim and myself and it was contingent on revenue and saves above the projected estimates of the fiscal year 2013 and 14. the city's comprehensive annual financial report for the fiscal year 2013 showed a year end general fund surplus of 21.6 $21.6 million that came from unanticipated year end revenue and i think that many of the community based organizations that have been coming to the board the nonprofit workers and leaders of community based groups have emphasized they

are a critical part of the statement part of the safety net and the nonprofit sector i believe and with neighborhood stability and efforts to really assist the nonprofit sector, they are an often undervalued and under acknowledged part of our city family in many ways i think they are undervalued and i think they are taken for granted and at times belittled by government and i think they deserve the same respect as public employees and for profit contract ors with the city and i think this small supplemental is a key part of that and to bring them up to parity and to end the double standard and many of these community based workers and organizations are some some of the hardest working in the city providing critical critical human services in our city and the workers and organizations have

been chronically under compensated and i'll just say the the under funding year after year flat funding has amounted to a reduction for many nonprofits negatively impacting their ability to provide city services and the clients depend on them and the workers who serve them as well and they have not received any cost of doing business increase since 2007 and 2008 so that's a that's a 5-year period that they haven't received that increase and the fiscal year 2014 and 15 budget included 6.75 million of general fund revenues and approximate 1.5 percent increase for nonprofits and i think the comment from the comment is you can't

survive so 1.5 percent increase increase and i agree with that so this is an effort to increase it a tiny bit more hopefully helping many of our nonprofits and neighborhood stabilization and of 2014 the budget included a 3 percent increase for all city and county employees and it took us up to october and reflected a 2.25 percent increase and this supplemental brings nonprofit contractors to parity with that level increase and i believe that it is really going to be a step forward to reach the fairness for nonprofit workers. i wanted to also emphasize that the estimated cost of doing business increase is 3.4 million $3.4 million and it's enough to bring the nonprofits

to par with city employees and i want to be clear and others have said this before too, i think a long-term structural change to our budget that allows nonprofit community organizations to keep pace with other sectors providing similar services for example an annual automatic increase based on inflation or other factors really should be what we're looking at as a at as a long-term fix and to end the double standard for community service workers. the supplemental will provide needed resources for this fiscal year and whatever we accomplish in the budget process as it comes forward i'm optimistic that we'll look at this structural issue for the future and i think as a city we've acknowledged in various ways we need to help our nonprofits to survive in this

incredibly challenging financial environment and fulfilling the commitment that we've made as a board from 6 months ago it's critical to the stabilization of our neighborhoods as well and regardless of the outcome of this vote i hope we as a board will address the inequality so that we can come up with a solution before we are done with our upcoming budget process and i don't think this is an issue that we're going to solve today but to make it a priority that we said 6 months ago as we as a board prioritized this issue and i thank you. >> thank you. supervisor yee [applause]. >> thank you president breed. i won't repeat what supervisor mar has
