to say, colleagues, as you know, i think is district supervisors we have unique relationships the presidents of neighborhood associations. we work with them on so many different issues. there have incredible assistance to us as partners. in trying to work out issues and neighborhoods and vicki was really just a terrific partner for me and i know for -- when he was in office and for mark leno when he held the seat. she is someone who is passionate about the neighborhood. she is very very strong opinions. i was able to come and sit with her about a week before she passed. she was very very frail and a very weak voice, but she did make sure to express to me her views on a number of development issues the neighborhood and the city showing once again her passion and commitment and so, vicki, we will miss you. we know we are in a better place smiling down on us and colleagues the rest i submit to ship thank you supervisor winner. supervisor yee. supervisor avalos.

supervisor agreed to ship thank you. colleagues, today i have to >> today at two in the mental measures 2 inches. supervised first with supervisor avalos wiener and christiansen, i am introducing the clean energy right to note to the november ballot. this measure will create clear definitions that are in line with state law for what constituents -- what constitutes clean energy. clean electrical energy. when we shop for apples were grapes we want to know what the term organic means and that it means something. that suppliers are in fact required to meet higher standards, not just slap the word on the product. likewise, we should be confident the word clean, green, noble and greenhouse gas free means

something. that they have a consistent statewide definition can just be slapped on to a product anyway he or its employees choose. electrical production in san francisco single biggest source of greenhouse gas emissions. we are taking over 50,000 tons of co2 emissions per year to alter over a dozen years of opd scan way of cleaner energy to finally, finally, wanting a clean power program in san francisco. consumers will finally have a choice about who provides their electricity, and in making that choice, they should be confident that words like clean and green are not just pg&e marketing terms. they will actually mean something. consumers should know that their electricity comes from nuclear power plants. my measure would require the city to inform electrical taxpayers,

ratepayers how much nuclear power they are receiving. this way when san francisco chooses which energy providers to use pg any working power sf they can make an informed choice. knowing that almost 1/4 of pg&e's power comes from nuclear plants. san franciscans deserve to know what kind of energy they are receiving. they deserve to have a clean energy option where the term clean really means claim. they deserve to know nuclear power and san franciscans deserve to make their own energy choices without corporations meddling in what decision they make. i have one other important by mental measure today. i am introducing a resolution supporting california senate bill 350 i senators daily on and one out. senate bill 356

very ambitious but achievable environmental goals for california to reach by 2030 and namely, generating 50% of our electricity from undoable resources doubling the energy efficiency of existing buildings and reducing the petroleum used in motor vehicles by 50%. san franciscans actually already have -- san francisco arty has a gold achieving 1% ruble energy supply by 2030, which being amazing achievements. moving in that direction statewide would be even more impactful. it can be done. renewable energy costs, even without subsidies approaching levels competitive with new natural gas plants. the cost of solar power in california has fallen by more than half since 2009 making it increasingly competitive with

fossil fuels. we also increase our billings energy efficiency targeted retrofits, smarter apps appliances and better energy management. doing so will reduce pollution and give us the same standard of living by lower operating costs. which frees up financial resources that can be invested elsewhere. on the motor vehicle side, on road vehicles currently producing about one third of greenhouse gas emissions in california, but by reducing vehicle miles traveled and increasing fuel efficiency, and use of electricity, biofuels and other alternative fuels, we can make transportation cleaner in san francisco and throughout california. meeting these three goals the main cleaner air, better economy, and more protection for climate change. rossini's benefits already. there are over 55,000 solar workers in california solar jobs are growing 10 times faster than overall state job growth. unlike fossil fuels wind and

solar energy require potentially no water to operate which is important during a drought like the one that we are in. like a be 32 in 2006, sp 350 is potentially one of the most important pieces of environmental legislation this decade. san francisco should be on record supporting it and we can achieve -- for the sake of future we must achieve these goals. colleagues, i have two in the marines today. in memoriam today. personal in memoriam is being introduced by supervisor, tech a cohen and i could relate mr. leroy cain who sadly passed away in his home on friday, june 12. he is not

your service and commitment to the city and county of san francisco. two amazing men weaving amazing legacy. you are both you will both loved and will be missed the rest estimates. >> thank you present rate supervisor campos. >> thank you. have a couple of items. the first item is a follow-up to two a piece of legislation that we voted upon recently. that is my emergency legislation to do a cost on the luxury housing in the mission. that legislation dealt with not only a pause on luxury housing, but with the issue of demolition and can conversions at -- distribution repair

space. you know that measure did not pass two weeks ago, the issues that were brought forward to that measure remained very much issues in the mission. as the mission community continues to plan, as that community works on solutions to address the housing crisis that is facing that community and the rest of the city we need to continue to move forward to make sure that we have a better understanding of how we can address the issues underlying this crisis. so, with that in mind, for the purpose of understanding the issues the mission is facing and so that we can better assess and plan we need to obtain additional data.. i want to thank joseph smoke from my office for helping me work on identifying the given needs that we need,

so that we can have a better understanding of what is happening in the mission right now. therefore, i am introducing a resolution today that requests the following of the san francisco planning department. it specifically calls for three reports. one, a report from planning on all market rate and affordable housing production in the mission and comparing that market rate housing against the existing mission plan mission area plan. we believe having that information is really critical as we move forward. second, report on the loss of production distribution with care space compared against the existing mission area plan, and three, an analysis of the impact fees that had been -- for the mission area. i look

forward to working with the planning department to have these reports completed and presented to the board of supervisors no later than october of this year. that is our hope. our community has prioritized engagement in residents and businesses in a new plan for the mission, and the urgency of continuing displacement makes getting this data and is information even more critical and again i want to thank joseph smoke up my office and i look forward to working closely with the planning department to obtain that information. the last item is another in memoriam. it seems that the last few days have been a very challenging time for our city in terms of the loss of some pretty incredible individuals. mr. perry, mr. king and others. it is my turn to do and in memoriam

for the pretty remarkable individual, and i know that i speak for many people, not only in the area of purnell heights, district 9, in the mission, so may people who then touched by this incredible individual that we just lost about a day ago. that is my good friend karen huggins. yesterday was a pretty tough day. i got a call in the morning letting me know that karen huggins, who had not too long ago become ill, had just passed. anyone who knew karen

huggins can tell you that karen was a really unique individual. i do not know that there are words to fully capture how incredible she was. she was one of a kind. in that sense, she was very much a san francisco creation. her passion, her intelligence, her commitment, her integrity were second to none. anyone who has followed what has been happening to public housing in san francisco over the last few years knows that the advances and achievements that holly courts as a community has been able to obtain the last few years have a lot to do with karen huggins.

what she has single-handedly done for holly courts is beyond words. she was a tenacious advocate for the community,, and on a very personal level, to meet karen huggins was one of the most remarkable human beings that i have come across. it really is hard to imagine the world, to imagine san francisco without karen huggins . this city, this community will never be the same. i personally feel lucky and blessed that i got an opportunity to get to know karen, and i know as i look back at everything that karen has done that the best way to honor her memory is to be

dedicate ourselves to what she cared about which is not just social justice, or more specifically, her passion, which was making sure we did the right thing for the residents of holly courts and not just how the course hurts but all public housing. our thoughts and prayers today are with her adopted family, karen's adoptive family at holly courts and as we do this in memoriam today i think about all of the residents in the community who i know are in pain like the rest of us who knew her. i know that there will be a number of services and things that will be done by this community to remember karen , but karen, i know that even though you will physically not be here, that your memory will live on and i want to read -- share a few words from rachel

-- is the executive director of the neighborhood heights center. i know that the neighborhood center was rachel [inaudible] who had the honor and pleasure of working with karen would agree with what rachel said about karen and this what rachel said. the neighborhoods committee suffered attempt menace lost the passion of our beloved karen huggins. longtime president of the holly courts residents council. karen was a passionate leader in the holly courts and public housing development communities. always advocating for residents needs and pushing to old city agencies and decision-makers accountable. during her leadership at holly courts can work closely with the it would

heights center to strengthen and ensure the voices of public housing residents are heard and prioritized and helped widen the reach of neighborhood centers public housing working group. karen also helps ensure that holly courts residents and leaders get access to funding for programs and services. karen was instrumental in awarding the family action grant for youth and seniors focus activities at that developments. aside from her tenacity karen had impeccable style a warm smile, brilliant though we sorely missed by many of us who are privileged enough to work with her. rest in peace, karen huggins. all less than it would heights center continuing your fighting spirit and honor your legacy as we continue to deepen our work relationship that holly courts development did i will and with this. if there is ever a question that one individual can make a difference in people's lives, i think what happened in holly courts and specifically, with karen

huggins did is a perfect example that indeed, it is possible for one individual to change people's lives. if you look at this state of affairs and the conditions that holly courts and you compare that to what is happening in other public housing developments it is because of karen huggins that things are and have been so much better at holly courts. she is a perfect example in what she did for that community that is possible for one person to make a difference. karen was truly a force of nature. i do not know about you meet people. i guess it is probably a need in heaven because i know that if there is work to be done with karen is and she is there

she surely left san francisco in much better shape than he found it. we love you, karen. the recipes. >> thank you supervisor campos. supervisor cohen >> thank you madam clerk. colleagues have a couple things alone to discuss with you. today a man choosing a resolution holly mitchell and loni hancock. last year we unanimously approved a resolution urging the state to close the commercial property taxable. this is also known as opposition 13. many of you know the biggest and greatest beneficiary of proposition 13 of commercial and industrial property owners who paid less property taxes and homeowners. so senate bill five for the

property textile amendment would probably make our property tax code of their basis in commercial and industrial properties fair market value. please, i would appreciate if you could get behind and join the divine this effort to close this loophole that commercial vessel operators enables you -- for decades. i like to strengthen opposition 13 for what it really was fun to do and that is to protect homeowners renters, as well seniors. also, our premier tension to -- constitutional amendment could also mean $9 billion in revenue for schools and public services statewide and close $699 for san francisco alone. that is a significant amount of money that we should be rallying to get. i also have another resolution to support senate

bill 411, the right to report milk. now the oakland city council has introduced a resolution that expected to pass next week. this bill is authored by sen. ricardo laura, and estates anyone making an audio or video recording of a police or police peace officer and is in a public place that the individual has the right to be and is not breaking the law. now, you may recall some parts of the united states of their laws being passed different statehouses prohibiting people from recording police officers and peace officers. the services and masking you and join me in supporting and senate bill 411. also, i want to introduce to you
