provided at all meetings on the board of supervisors. the clerk's office goes above and beyond to accommodater?ñ?ñ? requests. however, it is often difficult to providemñ?ñ?ñ language services on demand. weriñ?ñ?ñ have come across this few instances, justqtñ?ñ in the past few months a constituent requires language interpretation during our board meeting. we have ñ?ñ?ñ to find someone to fill in because a certified language interpreter was not ñ?ñ? present. by creating a project that ask for -- at every board of supervisorsrlñ?ñ? meeting starting in september 2015 the staff andfsñ?ñ?ñ office of the civic engagement and immigrant affairs will be present to offer language services in spanish and chinese. the staff will also provide translation of the legislation introduced and simplified board

agendas. the pilot will last until july 2016. when i was on the board of education, we had interpreters on hand at every single meeting in case parents with limited english attended and needed assistance. this made the world a difference because we began to interact with our constituents on a different level. not only were they able to express their thoughts, they were able to listen to our discourse and understand the decisions being made. i want to recognize that this is not an easy job. but it is one that is crucial for us to continue serving diverse residents of san francisco. it is my hope that with this pilot, we will be able to engage limited english residents citywide. i want to acknowledge and thank the director of the office of civic engagement and immigrant

affairs, adrian and her staff for working with us on this proposed pilot. i would also like to thank the diligent staff at the clerk of the board of supervisors who often go above and beyond to serve our public. especially limited english speakers. they have been assisting limiting english speakers. as a personal note being on the board of of education for eight years, having access this translation available and people actually knew about it opened up the engagement for the people that were nonenglish speakers. they didn't have to hope that somebody would be here and or

hope to find somebody that could come with them. they knew somebody would be there to help them. colleagues i hope you support this ordinance. >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor avalos. >> calling to a couple of item into introduction today. one a resolution supporting senate bill 128. which proposes to establish indiana of life -- end of life option act. it's a long term effort and started many years ago. has been given momentum with the story of brittney maynor a 29-year-old californian with terminal brain cancer who moved to oregon. she passed peacefully last december with her family by her side. sb128 was introduced in january this year. modeled after the 1997 oregon

law that gives terminally ill right to presign medication. it gives patients with their physicians the right to a peaceful death. with dignity if they're suffering becoming unbearable. sb128 includes measures to probably patients were coercion and safeguards physicians. in addition to providing opt out options for healthcare providers. physicians are required to discuss alternatives or additional treatment opportunities and a patient can decide whether to use prescription or rescind at any time. this medical practice recognized in other states such as oregon washington vermont and montana. data collected in oregon and

washington shows that the end of life option is only sparingly used. with fewer than one in five deaths. recent poll show two thirds of californians support this option. last week the senate passed the legislation 23-15 vote. now it goes ton to the assembly where we hope the bill can find support. colleagues i urge your support for this measure as wind's its way to next week's board meeting. i also have been looking for legislation, which i believe is very timely especially considering our city budget. this is an ordinance that would provide some transparency in the use of surveillance technology. last november, i requested the city attorney to draft legislation to create a

surveillance accountability ordinance. with rapid expansion of technology the city needs to be proactive and making she's there's public oversight of how these technologies are used. some of these technologies provide public benefit we need to create a public process for reviewing them and approving them as well as implementing policies about how they're regulated. there are a number of questions we need to ask. how will they be used. how will civil liberties be protected? what will the cost be? back in november, the aclu published a model ordinance. since then, we've worked with the city attorney to integrate the oversight process. this innocence will require board of supervisors to approve a surveillance data policy for surveillance technologies.

this is timely, i know we have a very big budget about the use of body mounted cameras for the police department. these cameras, will be subject to this proposed ordinance. i look forward to our discussion at the board of supervisors how to move this forward and i'm hoping we can request for waiving the 30 day rule so we have this ordinance to discuss as part of the budget process. >> thank you supervisor avalos. supervisor campos. >> thank you madam clerk. i like to begin by thanking all of my colleagues who sat through a very long meeting last week as a committee as a whole. i want to thank president breed

and her staff for working with my office to help to make that happen. i just want to thank my colleagues. i know it was a very long meeting. but it was also very moving meeting and i really appreciate the fact that each and every one of you sat through that and listened to this community. it is greatly appreciated as a representative for the mission. i also want to take this opportunity to thank the clerk of the board and her staff and specifically peggy nevin who worked very hard to make translation available to all the folks that came out. i thought the translation was excellent. i know that your staff worked very hard to make that happen. it is greatly appreciated madam clerk to you and your staff who and peggy in particular who made that happen. along those lines, thank you to

supervisor yee for introducing his item today on that very important issue. it is my pleasure today that after years of working on this that i have the opportunity to introduce a ballot initiative establishing the first of its kind legacy business fund. i want to thank my colleagues who are cosponsors to this measure. supervisors avalos, kim and mar. your support is greatly appreciated. for generations thriving neighborhood businesses have played an essential role into finding our communities. they have these institutions have essentially defined these neighborhoods. current economic pressures including skyrocketing rents for retail space, are costing san

francisco small businesses enough profits to suffer in many long established entities have been forced close their doors. these are businesses that have become cultural institutions that have helped create the character of san francisco neighborhood. we have brought forward many proposals on the issue of housing. today i am proud to bring forward a proposal to address the loss of our neighborhood businesses and nonprofits. i have have been working with small businesses in historic preservation advocates to design a program that will ensure the economic viability of local businesses. the first part of this initiative was passed unanimously by the board of supervisors this pass march.

these are businesses that have served san francisco for more than 30 years. to be included in that registry, i want to thank supervisor farrell and his staff for working on that measure -- these businesses must demonstrate a strong connection to the neighborhood and community in which they operate. the registry program should launch shortly and we're very excited and grateful to all who have made that happen. today i'm introducing the second part of this initiative that asks the voters of san francisco to create the legacy business historic preservation fund. this fund will make legacy businesses on the registry eligible for an annual grant of $500 for employees as well as offers an annual $4.50 per square foot grant to property owners who extend ten year

leases to legacy business tenants. there are 3000 small businesses that are eligible for legacy business status here in san francisco. annual grants will be capped at $50,000 for legacy business and $22,500 for building owners. annual cost for the fund are projected to be about $3 billion first year. a report by city's budget showed that the closure of small businesses in san francisco has reached record numbers with almost 4000 small businesses closing in the year 2014 alone. in contrast only 693 small businesses closed in 1994 and first year in the year of the city. this report draws connections to san francisco's skyrocketing

rents and the high level of commercial evictionst. state law allows controls on commercial leases and incremental rents in those neighborhoods has risen significantly with some areas increasing more than 256%. this measure is a sign to provide stability to our businesses during this uncertain time. where would san francisco be without so many of our legacy businesses.

i want to thank my cosponsors. i want to thank this opportunity to thank my incredible staff who have previously my(añ?ñ? staff, and hillary ronanñ?ñ? my chief of staff. very proud to havesnñ?ñ? this measure. i look forward to taking this item to the:ññ?ñ? voters of san francisco in november. the rest i submit. >> thank5bñ?ñ?ñ( oq$hde^gtivj>ópezt t,v!l)ghe[bh oa&, @,7l jk5[sw>r supervisor christensen. >> my district has especially volatile combination of aging housing stock and pressures of speculation and tourism. it's all of to lose one's home. it is worse to have to move away to find affordable replacement home to leave familiar blocks, friends schools and services. i want to make sure that

residents who have suffered displacement in our neighbors in need of secure affordable house having preferential access to nearby affordable housing. i'm pleased to join supervisors cohen and weiner and president breed to introduce legislation today that will help displaced tenants stay in their neighborhoods by including a neighborhood preferences provision for tenants eligible for neighborhood affordable housing. the neighborhood preference program expands existing preferences to include those impacted by all no fault evictions by dwelling unit removals or demolition and by expiring rent restrictions. this program will help provide options for neighbors who maybe forced from their neighborhoods. our primary goal everyday is to prevent displacement and to discourage the factors that lead to it. this program will give us one more option when people are

displaced. the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor christensen. supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. i'm really proud to join supervisor christensen and join her in the introduction of the neighborhood preference for housing legislation. supervisor campos, you will be pleased with this legislation. it's pretty bold. it helps -- a drafting i had in mind our constituencies that we both care very deeply about. it will go a long way to create a pathway for san francisco who grew up in san francisco and been here for a very long time. not only to stay in san francisco and stay in the neighborhood but also by doing so by carving out a certain percentage of affordable housing units for residents in each

respective district. that's really critical. please take a look at this and let us know your feedback on it. the neighborhood preference plays a significant role in addressing the fears of low income and moderate income families that new housing developments had cause them to be priced out the communities that they grew up in. this is something that i hear. i know supervisor breed hear it as well. i'm beginning to hear it in the lgbt communities and in particular the seniors. long time resident who apply for affording housing unit essentially gets lost amongst thousands of people who apply within and outside of our city limits. which forces them to compete for small number of affordable u nits. this legislation will help to

build the community a better chance of staying. supervisor christensen, this legislation not only provide neighborhood preference of affordable housing unit, it also is an expansion of the ellis act housing preference by providing additional protections for displaced tenants through the ellis act. i'm i hope to draw a dialogue across many parts of the city. this is ground breaking. thank you. >> thank you supervisor cohen. supervisor breed. >> thank you. colleagues, i'm really proud to be introducing this legislation with my college supervisor christensen and cohen today. since i've been in office it's something i've been working on. when i started onen the commission, one -- one of the frustrating experiences was watching the affordable housing

get built and members of my community asking why they can't they have access. it was just really challenging and some instances they weren't able to pass their certificates county from generation to generation. we pushed and passed legislation that gave the right for those certificates to be passed down. we hired staff to go out and find families who were displaced by redevelopment in order to explain to them what their rights are and their ability to pass those certificates down. many of those families moved out of san francisco and have settled in other places because redevelopment, 40 years later, took that long to even redevelop the western tradition community. more importantly, they didn't make it easy for members of that community to have access to a lot of the housing that was built and especially lot of the newer affordable housing

development. this is why a neighborhood preference is really important. prioritizing are very limited affordable housing stock for those who are a part of a community is key. i remember when i finished college and i came home and was wondering where will i live, what can i afford. again, i saw a lot of housing built around me but it was very difficult to access it although i qualified for that housing. with this particular legislation, i'm excited that not only does it continue to maintain that certificate of preference priority it also includes in its priorities ellis act evictions, no vault evictions affordable development, bmrs that's better transitioning to ownership and residential merger

demolition. of course, there is an application process and these individuals will have to meet those particular qualifications. but the challenge of being a part of a large lottery system where there's hundreds ever names and i don't know any of you been to any one of those pulling of names in the lottery system it's agonizing. people are emotional hoping in these thousands of names that hopefully their name would get pulled. for maybe even 12 units. that's why this preference is key. i've saw too many friends and family members displaced by the redevelopment agency and frustration of being a part of the community and not feeling as if you have access to many of the things that are around you that are you qualify for. too many san franciscoians are losing their homes.

watching new redevelopment go. and have slim chance of being able to afford the units that are going up. changing these practices within our affordable housing policies can help our neighborhoods stay more vibrant, more culturally relevant and hopefully, allow for san san franciscans -- san franciscans to have access. .

i'm really excited about it and i'm glad it's finally moving forward through this board of supervisors. two other things colleagues, this weekend we are fortunate to have two of i believe, best festivals happening in my district in san francisco. this saturday will be the san francisco, the 65th annual san francisco june teenth festival. it's like a community reunion where a lot of san franciscans sadly who have been displaced come back. it's like a big family reunion. i hope members of the public

both new community members and old will join us this saturday to celebrate the juneteenth festival. the other festival is the haig street festival. which is next sunday j une 14th. i said this weekend, my apology from 11:00 to 5:30. it's another street fair we have. i wanted to highlight those two particular events. it's the 38th annual street fair. we have an amazing history in our community. i hope some of you will take time out of your schedules to come to our neighborhoods and celebrate with us. thank you and the rest i submit. >> thank you president breed. supervisor farrell. >> thank you madam clerk. last november our auditor complete one of the most comprehensive reports in support of housing portfolio that served the homeless here in san francisco.
