hospital and to set the committee as a whole hearing date for april 5, 2016 at 3 pm here in the website of chamber one 200 were all persons interested in the proposed vacation of the said public right-of-way and and madame president@258 colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call? the motion prevails. >>[gavel] >> will call for introductions >> supervisor yee you are first to introduce new business. >> i have a few things. today i'm going to be introducing a call for a hearing of the office of early education. i want to hear their draft plan or plan to approve as a citywide plan

to basically roll out the budget for the upcoming years and so this is, as you know, important issue for me to see how well we set our serving our youngest children in the city. hopefully this plan does exactly that. i also want to mention that, because i brought up this other issue and asked for a hearing and even though i asked for this it's been almost 4 months since i asked for it. i want to re-mention on to have this hearing on thursday . regarding the issue of chronic absenteeism, which is really important issue, not only to me, but all the families that get impacted. we need to do that because there is a pattern of those young children that are absent a lot

from school and will continue to be absent and eventually drop out of school. the other thing i want to do is introduce a resolution-and this is not a new type of request-but introduce a resolution and a growing problem in our community. that is problem gambling. last year the board of supervisors unanimously declared march as problem gambling awareness month and were bringing this to attention this again as it continues to grow in our communities. gambling is becoming more successful with online games. it's not just sitting around a card table but there's a lot of places where you can access now. this includes daily fantasy sports and internet casinos. as you can imagine, we have one of the nations most popular gaming gambling occasions, just around the

corner with the ncaa march madness basketball tournament. i'm sure there are several people in this room that could play in that but we have to understand that not everybody can control their urge to putting a lot of money into this and being essentially can lose a lot of market while these games can be fun and enticing there is a dark side. every year, 62 $8 million included more than 1.2 million californians meet the criteria for problem gambling. in turn they negatively impact the lives of another 40-80,000,000 individuals. a lot of family members. i can attest to this because i've had family members with gambling problems and they had no help and i know at least one of my family members where the family got [inaudible]

because of much the individual spent on gambling. this is real stuff that happens to the best of us. in terms of our relationships. since addiction is so well hidden, many people do not realize they have a problem. only 15% only seek treatment. the problem gambling is a disorder. it's a disorder and has similarities to alcohol and drug dependence. that's why when you look at what's happening now, many of our social services princes, they actually package of living together because this is all related. a lot of times with the gamut tales of drug addictions or alcohol addiction. anyone can have a gambling problem. the addiction does not discriminate across social economic groups. age or race. it affects so many communities is considered a public health issue. however,

set high risk of gambling addiction are most vulnerable population. which is the youth, the seniors, and as admirers including asian community. i remember some of these because i mentioned before even my mother very heavy gambler. maybe that's why i don't like gambling. because of what she did. this is why it's crucial to shed light on the problem gambling so families and individual suffering can seek the help they need. in san francisco the dept. of pub. health, in partnership with the chinese health coalition is when the nation's first problem gambling prevention programs that is being modeled by others across the country. they provide free resources, counseling, support and outreach to at-risk communities in different languages. there is also a locally based 24-7 help line. the number the number

is 188-8968 the number is 1-888-968-7888. that's available to people. so, i hope we can reach out to more people who need these resources and keep an eye out to the ones to provide this addiction starting in the first place. i also want to thank supervisor eric mar for cosponsoring this resolution and getting his support for this issue over the years. the rest i submit bedecked thank you. supervisor avalos >> collies, today i'm submitting a piece of legislation titles, prohibiting leasing for the extraction of fossil fuels. on public lands on by san francisco. i want to thank my cosponsors for jumping on with this legislation. pres. breed, etc., thank you very

much. who would have thought that san francisco has public land is leased to chevron to drill and extract oil. it's incurring county and actually kern county the current river oil field sites have been known as a site where contaminated water is leaking into the water supply of that county. could this field be part of that? were not quite clear yet who are looking into that. overall, does it make sense that we have property owned by the city where oil extraction is going on? it's a scientific fact that collectively the fossil fuel corporations known reserves around the world if we were to burn all the known reserves we would release so much co2 that would make the planet uninhabitable. mother earth would not be able to sustain life. in order to actually keep temperatures low

and order a goal scientists and the un has put forth to keep temperature increases the start of the industrial revolution only 2°c, we would need to keep two thirds of the known reserves of fossil fuel corporations in the ground. at the same time, while we are trying to prevent the burning of this fuel fossil fuel corporations are trying to increase their drawing, increase the known reserves, to more exploration. san francisco can do our part. we can make sure that we keep oil from being burned and we can make sure our public land where oil currently is being extracted cannot be used for that extraction purpose ever again. the current lease with chevron x buyers in the year 2020 and this legislation would terminate that relationship with chevron corp. and would not see our public venues for

julian. i would actually help with alignment purposes of reducing our carbon footprint and reducing toxins into the environment there were trying to do as a city to protect residents, not just here but in california and around the world. because co2 is a global issue. so, this legislation also mirrors legislation that congressman jared hoffman from san raphael introduced late last year called the keep it in the ground act, and that act would ban new leasing of federal land for oil also fuel extraction. so i think it's a really great step forward that we can all join in in our efforts for preventing climate change were limiting the impact of climate change and this legislation is part of that. the rest i'll submit >> thank you. pres. breed bedecked today i have 2 items i'm introducing a resolution

supporting janus only built 1825 written by a similar member rich gordon and co-authored by nearly 2 dozen state legislators this one is for the dog. currently when a dog is seized from an animal sighting fighting ring california law automatically labels it a vicious dog. regardless of whether it's a puppy, a stone pets were breeding mother. the victim, in other words is presumed to be dangerous to be the aggressor. that's a standard we would never accept for humans and we should not accept it for our animal friends either. the vicious label condemns stocks to a life of strict confinement, which was always results in these canine victims being euthanized whether they were actually vicious or not. many of the dogs seized in connection with animal fighting

would thrive in a loving supportive environment and do not pose any other threats to dogs or humans. we know this because it's been proven time and time again in other states. the vast majority of states give canine that comes a cruelty a chance for adoption by offering them the same individual health and behavioral assessment as other dogs brought into a shelter. many many of these dogs do go on to live healthy happy life. not in california. in outdated and frankly, cruel provision in the law arbitrarily condemns these dogs and puppies for no reason other than they were the victims of human criminals. aba 25 would change that. it will allow emotional thirds to individually violate dogs from animal firings just as they would other dogs and make a fair and informed assessment but the dogs temperament, adoption or placement with a rescue organization. trained shelter personnel are the ones

making these decisions. they do it every day, with every other incoming dog using best practice techniques developed over the years by animal shelter professionals. i want to thank this san francisco convention of cruelty to animals the american spca, the humane society of the united states the best and animal society and the california animal control directors association for their support. together, we can give these canine victims chance to live happy lives with human euthanasia being the last resort instead of the foregone conclusion. we can give these dogs a 2nd chance. colleagues, ask you join me in supporting some legal 1825 in urging the state legislature and governor to pass it. the 2nd item i have

is in in the morning. it's very personal to me. over the weekend, on march 6 i lost a dear friend to leukemia. chris carpenter. he was only 46. every year, 12,000 patients are diagnosed with a life-threatening blood cancers like leukemia. they rely on a bone marrow or umbilical cord but transfusion to survive. chris could not find a donor match and although he tried a new innovative treatment it did not work for him. the only successful treatment for this type of disease is through a bone marrow or umbilical cord blood transplant. according to the asian-american donor program, 70% of patients diagnosed with blood cancer cannot find a matching donor within their family. that means they must depend on strangers,, but because makers use matches

to inherited patients are more likely to match with someone from their own race or ethnicity. that is the issue at hand today. according to the national marrow donor program, 30% of all registered owners are of minority dissent. 16% of asian or pacific islander patients cannot find a donor. the ratio increases to 17% percent were latino patients, and 24% for african-americans. these numbers may not seem very high, but every life is precious and every patient deserves all the help and resources that can be made available to them. part of the problem for the lack of marrow donors is a common misconception that donating bone marrow hurts. maybe you've seen medical tv shows where doctor inserts a big needle into a patient's spine. in fact,

donors are given in this easier during this outpatient procedure so there's no pain in the bone marrow is extracted from the back of the pelvic bone. when the anesthesia wears off donors may experience pain similar to feeling a bruise after falling on ice or slipping. the whole procedure takes just half a day and the discomfort for a day or 2 is incomparable to saving someone's life. i am currently working with the asian-american donor program to organize a donor drive right here in city hall. registering as a donor takes only a few minutes and we especially need donors from the following ethnicities: african-americans, american indian, and alaskan native, asian, including east, southeast and southeast and native hawaiian and other pacific islanders, hispanic and latino and other multiracial

individuals. i will announce the details of the event once they're finalized. i hope everyone will come and sign up to be a donor. chris leaves behind a twin brother and he is named paul. a good friend of mine as well. his wife, danielle and their children and their grandchildren. he will be missed by his family and the community who loved him. tank you and the rest i submit >> thank you. supervisor campos >> i would like to begin by making my colleagues who are cosponsoring an ordinance i'm introducing today declaring a state of emergency on hopelessness here in san francisco. i want to thank my cosponsors, supervisor campos avalos, mar, yee, and pres. breed. i look forward to

engaging other supervisors as we discuss this very important initiative. i would like to begin my apologizing to the people of the city and county of san francisco. as an elected official, i say this also as a person who lives in san francisco and who loves the city, i believe that collectively city government has failed the people of san francisco when it comes to adequately addressing the issue of homelessness. i believe we have failed. i don't believe that the agencies responsible for responding to those issues to the issue of homelessness, have done the job that is needed. the fact is that for years people without homes have been pushed into neighborhoods throughout the city and county of san francisco weather was the mission, bernal heights, worse in my district saw the market or supervisor canady's

district. this issue has been going on for years. it there really hasn't been a real substantive plan that provides services and housing for all people who need them. this failure has cost a public health emergency that recently her with respect to payments on a mission street went to the removal of those encampments.. as a supervisor, it's not like i woke up today and said we have an emergency. we, as members of this board, have been working on this issue for many years. throughout this time i've always tried to be a part of not just the criticism but the solution. when i talked to the mayor more than a year ago and talked about the possibility of partnering with him and his administration to open up the first navigation center, i did that with the hope that we could-that we could-come up with something

that works and what is incredible but the navigation center as a concept is that the concept has actually proven to work. it is not a silver bullet, but it has demonstrated that if you please people in the right setting to connect housing to it it's possible to wrestling move people into permanent housing. that has happened in less than a year at this navigation center. yet, a year after the center was opened, it still remains the one navigation center that the city has. we should have opened many more navigation centers a long time ago. over the last few months i have received hundreds of calls, e-mails, from people throughout my district and other parts of the city and i have to say that i no longer know what i can say. i don't know what i say to the mother who complains about

taking her child to school, having to step over the human feces that's on the sidewalk, or to the residence of bernal heights complains about some psychotic episode that the person living in front of their house is having with the fact that the person just went to the bathroom in their driveway. the people of san francisco are rightly upset. they are angry. they are angry that people who lost jobs, people would've been evicted, people dealing with drug addiction, people doing with mental health issues, that they're living on the streets of san francisco. 7000 of them. what we have seen by way of response from this administration mercifully, to the mayor and he's a good person, it's not working. removing people from division street, if you take that example which has impacted my district, supervisor campos

district and supervisor cohen's district, moving people without getting everyone am a place to go is not actually solve the problem. it simply has moved people to smaller streets and sure enough, if you walk around division street you'll see tenants have sprung up in other smaller streets. when the executive branch talks about this issue, and appreciate the goodwill, there's a lot of conversation, a lot of talk about how they are working on something. last week supervisor farrell held a hearing on navigation centers which i was proud to cosponsor during which the mayors among the head of the mayors office of hope, a good person who has a lot of skills, unfortunately said would take as much as 6 months to open yet another navigation center could so long as it is the case that

we only have one navigation center 75 spaces, it will continue to be a problem that we don't have places for people to go and i will talk today and i will and with this. as it was going to the navigation center today, i saw a woman, and elder african-american woman who is sitting right in front of the entrance of the navigation center. her name is roslyn. she was there because, over the weekend, her best friend--they were homeless together-sleeping next to each other-her best friend had died on the streets of san francisco. she was camping out in front of the navigation center because she did not want to be next. she was treating with me, david, can you get me into the center. it breaks your heart that all i can say is, i will try. we have

2 do better. we have an obligation to do better could not only for roslyn, but for all the people and same san francisco because this has reached the point where it is a crisis and with all due respect to the mayor, i appreciate a lot of hard work has gone into this, but we have to do better than what we are doing is simply not enough. what i'm asking for today mud in this introduction, i am asking that this board of supervisors moved as quickly as possible to activate a provision in state law-and a lot of president breed for waiving the 30 day rule on this item-activate a provision in state law that is usually reserved for natural disasters floods and earthquakes and this may not be-this is not a natural disaster. it's a man-made disaster but it's a disaster

nevertheless. this will allow the city to take emergency action to build additional navigation centers on city property. the declaration of a shelter emergency expedite the red tape that could be an obstacle to opening the centers. in the next few weeks following the introduction of this declaration of emergency, i will be introducing legislation as soon as possible that requires the executive branch of the city to build an additional 6 navigation centers in the next year. 3 of those centers must be built within the next 4 months. some people asked me, is that doable? is 6 the right number? i'm open to a question but i believe the

city government we have to set a target for how many and when they will be open. the word which will also require a funding plan that will activate emergency reserve funds and streamline and cut current spending and are known 9 billion-dollar budget to pay for the centers that are needed. i want to say this. it is important we have an open and transparent process. to my colleagues, with this ordinance envisions is that there will be a process that we have plan outline that plan will be presented to the board of supervisors sue the week in review for ourselves what is presented by the administration. the idea is that within a matter of one year, we will see centers that we know have worked in the mission work in other parts of the city.. i would say this. if we can afford $5 billion for the super bowl, we can afford money to address this crisis of homelessness. we, again, i

reiterate, cannot wait any longer. i want to thank the residents of my district of written to me, who called my office. i want you to know that i've heard you and that i will do everything within my power within the next 9 months, which is how long i have left in office, to make sure that we as city government doing everything we can. as member of this board of supervisors, we don't have the authority under the charter to dictate to departments what they should do. but we do have the authority and the ability to lay out a strategy and to hold them accountable to hold this administration accountable for complying with that strategy. that is the point. i ask you to join me in this effort. i want to thank my amazing amazing staff, carolyn goossen, delivery ruined, sheila chung

hagan have been working on this. i also want to thank our city attorney's office. this is very complicated stuff and we want to thank them for the expeditious handling of our request. i look forward to our conversation. the rest i cement >> thank you. supervisor cohen >> cement >> supervisor farrell >> colleagues i have one hearing requested i know there were differences were highlighted recent note about super bowl super bowl l and the funds dedicated to public services during his weeklong events. as budget chair, i do take these managers of our city very seriously. when cq obviously make best use of our resources. during the trip to the super bowl there were discussions and questions about roughly 5 $9 was it worth the investment of hosting the super

bowl l related events. even though economic experts predicted we'd end up in the black, i was taught the time we need to wait until the ink was dry after super bowl lii of value it when it happened that only as a signal from a cost perspective. now the super bowl l is over, reno's were the most attended in super bowls in his. the most philanthropic estimate 1.19 people visited the san francisco for the related events eating up to the game. we also saw early signs that super bowl l was an economic boom for our city promising revenues from our city hotel taxes during the week zimmerly from concession revenues and passenger private and corporate air traffic at sfo. according to recent reports the city's hotel taxes brought in roughly $5 more than during the same period last year and i know not every hotel was during that was here for the super bowl but the number is significant. over 60% increase in commercial passenger traffic compared to the previous year. the concession tenets realized to

war than $4.5 billion more of additional revenue as a result of the super bowl with some retailers reporting increases over 500%. there are smart economic numbers to come out clean so taxes and other revenues and i look forward to reviewing those numbers as well. given number of pending personals is a supplemental appropriation related to the impact of super bowl l, i want to ensure we have an honest and transparent discussion of the cost and benefits of hosting that they gain. in the coming weeks.until his office be issuing academic reports on super bowl l. that will for the first time the economic impact both in terms of revenues expenses calculated for hosting super bowl figured today i'm introducing a hearing request on the economic impact of super bowl l that the controller's office to present on the report when it's released in the coming weeks. again with all pending proposals and dialogue around super bowl l, and its impact to my feta was necessary

for us and believe it's necessary for us and the public to run honest interest and discussion about the cost and benefits and look forward to seeing that in the weeks to come. the rest i submit the dick thank you. supervisor kim >> thank you. supervisor kim >> i have a series of legislation on introducing today are along the lines of following in supervisor david campos on the homeless crisis as well. i supervisor campos as already mentioned, the homelessness crisis we are seeing today is not the result of a single policy decision. if the results of decades of misguided and mean-spirited policy decisions from the 1980s, including an investment in affordable housing both the federal government and state decisions to close mental health hospitals with insufficient investment activity based this odious.

those dealing with mental challenges. and wages that have not kept up the increasing cost of living and housing made many of our urban cities. 600,000 americans don't have a home to sleep in on any given night. today, 600,000 americans don't have a place they can call home a note that have a bed to sleep in. 100,000 of them are chronically homeless. over 40 years ago, this country had a surplus of affordable housing. in fact, 300,000 units above and beyond was a waiting list needed in terms of housing are indigent or low income houses. beginning with the reagan initiation which began 2/ housing and hud funding since 96-2002 seen a 50% reduction housing subsidies and funding for over the last 30 years. when you add that with the gentrification we were seen in cities across the country today, the loss of single room occupancy hotel,, the aids

crisis in the 1980s, the institutionalization of the mentally ill and cut back to social safety network. under the clinton administration, we see the mass homelessness phenomenon that exists in cities across the us and the state of california today. in fact, one out of every 4 eligible households for federal rental assistance actually are able to get that rental assistance simply because the cost of housing is too much. we have a growing homeless population here in san francisco. similar to what we are seeing in the city of los angeles and sacramento. change is needed and while we strongly to make sure that every dollar we spend here in san francisco is accounted for and spend wisely, and i support supervisor campos to open 6 navigation centers of this year, we also need the state to step up and help because this is a statewide problem and challenge that no single city, even one as generous and compassionate as san francisco, can solve alone. in fact, this

original statewide issue. we cannot solve homelessness like counting) don't have a green assisted by day shelter system. we would ask or expect southern california to deal with the aftermath of a metro q earthquake alone here we witness the sierra foothills to address devastating fire alone we when asked sacramento to respond to a flood without help and we should let any single district or city solve the homeless rightness crisis was seen in our city today by themselves. today i am announcing a legislative package that i will not claim is a silver bullet solution but it's a group of policies that we have 2 pursue because we know this crisis is not insurmountable. we have solutions in a store with really investing housing first by freeing up in coordinating statewide resources in responses to the needs of our fellow citizens to who need our

help desk of the. in fact, what is the moral imperative of cities across the country the state of california is that our fastest-growing demographic and homeless count are working families. their families with a working parents and children that cannot afford to live in the city where they are employed. we also have to have a single customer center database that allows us to account for spending and the will to engage which programs are effective as public and 9 homelessness in which a be scaled to need. so, must last for steering on a system that we can make sure were maximizing resources. similar to what the city of new york has called for in the last month. by mayor glossier. finally, by putting into place a citywide pitstop toilet program that we already know works. the one we started here right in the tenderloin because the reality is we don't have enough shelter beds right now for the over 7000 homeless men

women and children were struggling to survive on our streets by sweeping intense, in cars, in shelters, or couch surfing. i want to think big and acknowledge supervisor stan is been working very closely on declaring a state of emergency at the statewide level. supervisor campos is working to declare a local state of emergency and supervisor and president london breed working closely with our office to make sure we have a citywide pitstop program. to mention a couple statistics in california accounts for 21% of the nation's homeless population in 2015. 21% of the 600,000 americans that need a bed that they can call home on any given night. california also the highest percentage of homeless people counted in on shelter locations in the united states. we also the largest number of homeless unaccompanied youth at 20% of the national total. we also the largest number of veterans experience in

homelessness with more than 11,000 veterans living in the streets of california in 2015. almost a 3rd of san francisco's homeless population in this became homeless outside of san francisco a self-reported in a recent survey. the state of hawaii has a greater state of emergency and the use of proclamation as a way to make additional funds available and to contact homeless summers providers in earmarking funds for family shelters and bypassing existing ordinance to take swift action to stand up needed shelters as soon as possible. the city of los angeles has declared a citywide state of emergency and a san francisco to supervisor campos is resolution is doing the same. we can also do more to have a coordinated statewide response with certain concrete actions good one, also plus property but the state to, making standard shelters designate for specific needs of need and interest whether their families, lgbt, seniors,

medically frail, and young people. finally, immediate investment and more afford housing resources. something the state has also cut so that municipalities can put shovels in the ground and build affordable housing projects into the pipeline and refinance with much lower land cost the public property can be used as a private property. the senate president pro tem kevin kelly on has introduced thelike home admission policy framework and its goal is to put a $2 billion bond because of permanent supportive housing for the chronically homeless with mental health illness could to enter $9 over 4 years to build supportive housing and short-term rent subsidies while the permanent housing is being constructed and support for 2 special housing programs that will assess assist families. this is a white state of emergency is an important way we has the state of california and you more to address the most miss in all of our communities. finally, as i

mentioned, i'm also introducing a supplemental appropriation to get 6 more pit stops throughout the city in the ground before a fiscal year of 26-2017. we know that sucks and i represent have had a huge impact in our community seen reductions in steam cleaning request as much a 60% in these neighborhoods because we finally have provided an option for people who don't have one to use toilets with dignity and respect. also providing our residents who may not be using the toilet opportunity to walk through clean and healthier streets. in 2015, in november, we call for a hearing to expand. citywide to include staffing the bathrooms as well as adding. mobile toilets in the mission, south of market, western addition and the hates. i do want to recognize and thank department of public

works for the creative thinking and their support throughout the pilots and expansion. also one that happy to see a mobile pit stops are expanding their hours and days to 12 hours a day and 7 days a week. we want to make sure we're basing the locations on objective criteria such as 311 calls, your kitchens, away from residences and business entries and also make sure were just in multiple needs including storage disposal boxes, dog waste bags distribution, and other sorts of things that the pitstop has been incredibly successful in accommodating. on average, already, almost 100 people use the original 3 pit stops in the pendulum. every single day. these 3 pit stops in a district that we piloted with incredible support and leadership of public works have used over 4500 times and we saved over 2400 gallons of water per month because of the reduction in thinking requests in these neighborhoods. these facilities

have made our streets cleaner with over 120 bags of garbage collected at these 3 sites good job bags made of able to the public and secure needle boxes and properties diesel of used syringe needles. this is not a problem or need that is unique to the homeless population of san francisco. in fact, cities across the country note the work we are doing and asking how they can start pit stops in their cities as well. we look forward to seeing its expansion beyond the south of market tenderloin and other mission to other parts of the city as well. again, what acknowledge my colleagues for their support in addressing together they issue of our residents in neighborhoods and the rest i submit. >> thank you. supervisor mar >> wanted knowledge supervisor kim for the

editorial on homelessness and raising the issue an emergency at the state level and thanks so much to supervisor campos for the introduction the mayor starting the meet up with some comments. instead of pointing fingers i think we should all be doing our best to work together on solutions and a supervisor kim mention it's not a silver bullet but even the mayor's comments about the navigation centers, from my memory, as mayor art i was really 80s developed a heartless correlator that, multiservice center approach to look at humane and compassionate approach to homeless people with homeless people involved in that development of a policy that creation of navigation center type centers was really critical as well as substance abuse, detox and health services with pathways to permanent housing, even at that time and in my opinion, the 6 centers that supervisor become

poses is proposing is similar to the proposal like mayor actos back in those days. supervisor avalos and the staff and i visited. 80 temporary 180 bed shelter with sam dodge cleverly support and respect and i also wrote along with hot teams to the richmond this. homelessness is not in the city's order. stretches all the way up to hear the house where damon at the beach used to be as people are congregating in key parts even in my district and in the district approach we are working with nonprofits and churches and sam dodge and his staff to try to figure out how do we find more of a geographical spread of different centers of the homeless that are in the city score, but also out in as far out as supervisor avalos were cohen's districts are far west is my district have access to a place that i can have all their belongings confiscated and

built some sense of services and a safe and clean place to go, but i hope that with my colleagues and their approaches with uplifting fingers and saying people are seeking headlines and working together on these issues. also, i want to thank supervisor yee promoting the problem gambling issues in the asian and pacific islander communities and thank especially to-chanting the issue for many decades. colleagues: today i'm introducing a resolution that addresses a major public health danger that's creeping into our city many other cities around this country. it involves fast food big box and chain establishment applying for alcohol permits for on-site sales. examples are taco bell and starbucks and i want to thank especially the tenant dave does own, san francisco police department as alcohol licensing unit for bringing this issue to the attention of our public safety neighborhood services committee over her back of time. our office has been looking at this issue since last year and i want to say that with a strong grassroots san francisco

prevention coalition involving the youth leadership and ucsf san francisco department of public of them many others organizing for healthier and more equitable approach to dealing with these issues, and last september we held a hearing in public since committee to address this growing community concern of oversaturation of alcohol outlets in business is authorized to sell alcohol especially low income committees with thtion type it work only about 4500 different businesses that sell alcohol throughout san francisco but the floodgates could be opened with taco bell and starbucks and other big stores starting to seek these licenses could revert from the grassroots prevention coalition that concerns especially from young people the growing number of chain seeking these ways of gaining revenue at the expense of the health of our communities. that's tremendous public health impacts that can be quantified how much it cost to our city to according to our

department of public health. acetic according to the cdc an average of 500 underage youth die annually from alcoa related causes in california alone. last december, airport hearing, i am any from the community expressed our concerns as this new retail shift in the box and large change business models that currently allow or are gearing up for starbucks and taco bell and other entities to seek these kinds of alkyl permits. i also just wanted to say this resolution raises the concern that the alcohol beverage or concerns and urges the california dept. of alkyl beverage control tonight alkyl license applications at fast food and café retail chain businesses is different and i urge your consideration support. the rest i will submit >> thank you. supervisor peskin beta coll colleagues, unhappy set up be placed on the

imperative agenda at the end of the board meeting a resolution declaring this saturday as russell give me today in the city and county of san francisco. russ recently retired after 65 years at the boys and girls club. he is beloved not only in north beach, but throughout the city and county of san francisco. he spearheaded a $10.5 million renovation and expansion of the boys and girls club, which recently opened it is much much more to say about the stern demeanor but i would like to radon in the meeting declare march 12 b ross community in the city and county of san francisco. on a sadder note, on a side note, although they too adjourned today's meeting in the memory of my friends and -who worked as a food server at the fairmont hotel for 20 years until she retired. she, after

expenses and intimidation as a worker became a proud local union shop steward and stood up for her coworkers. just as countless hours on the negotiating committee for 3 citywide contracts and were locked up by the hotel she walked the picket line night and day making up songs to keep spirits high. i remember her in that locker. she was arrested 5 times in labor demonstrations fighting for healthcare and she loved music. after shift at the fairmont she could sometimes see the great artists perform at the venetian room including her favorite, ella fitzgerald, and the mites of them breakfast or lunch the next day. in 1982, she met her husband by lovely man named john, who is playing with a band at ginsburg's irish pub, if those of you remember on bay street. after a courtship of 3 years they were married on chris needs the 1980s extrudes the consent is about time. after hearing and saying around the house, john

encouraged and cajoled her to sing at the gold dust lounge and from then on she took great pleasure in being able to participate in the music she loved so much greatly appreciated the many great musicians who generously shared their world was her. my condolences to her husband, john , to her twin sister, to her daughter and son in law and son and daughter. >> thank you. supervisor tang . supervisor wiener >> kali, today i am today i'm introducing to reform our public contracting process, specifically to allow public agencies and san francisco to rely on contractors as a factor in awarding contracts. in san

francisco currently we have a basically a pure low bid system. the lowest bidder receives the contacted regardless of whether the contract is done a good job in the past. regardless of whether the contractor has ended up costing the city even more than other bidders because excessive change orders, understaffed jobs, delays or poor workmanship. we know most of our city contractors do a terrific job and deliver good and timely work product to our city. unfortunately, there are some contractors do not. we are in a period of unprecedented infrastructure investment in san francisco replacing our entire library system, renovating basically every part, rec center, pool and playground, accelerating our road resurfacing. modernizing our sewer and water system. our public health system and so on and so forth. as we invest our precious public dollars in this

important infrastructure work, we need to make sure that taxpayer is getting the best bang for his or her box. the only way to do that is to make sure that we are awarding contracts based on the overall best value, not just the low bid. of course the bid price is important factor in determining how to award a contract, but city departments should have the ability to look at a contractors past performance, to look at their ability to actually deliver a job on time and on budget, to look at whether they engage in unreasonable practices around change orders. to look at whether they have a track record of a systematically understaffing their jobs so that they end up taking way too much time and costing more that taxpayer. this best value system is, i believe were the beginning of a trend. los angeles is moving towards a

best value system. san francisco should as well. this legislation requires that departments take a look at how to do this and we also understand every department is different, and what the department will need to do is to create the factors they'll be of value weighted and make clear what these factors are upfront so that all bidders know going in that they will be held to the same standards as every other bidder. so, this important legislation. i believe in a strong support and colleagues i look forward to discussion about this important topic and the rest i select >> thank you. supervisor campos you have to be re-referred >> i just want to make a point i actually failed to make as i was introducing my ordinance declaring a state of emergency on homelessness here in san francisco. i think it's really important that as businesses

happening you have work that's been done by supervisor kim along with pres. breed and cohen, to the extent work be able to solve us it will require more than just city government to act. it would acquire state and federal government to act. i think it's important if we do succeed in getting the state of california to act that we also enhance our standing relative to other jurisdictions. other jurisdictions like the city of los angeles that are actually declared a state of emergency and i think the declaration of emergency. san francisco puts us in good footing in terms of our ability to actually be a priority when it comes to the funding is provided by the state of california where the federal government could awake supervisor kim and her staff the work they're doing because i think it's very critical components and i think it's important to make out no. the rest i submit >> thank you. bottom president >> thank you. madam clerk. at this time can we please read

public comment >> the public may know just the entire board of supervisors drafted 2 min. on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board to include the items on the adoption without reference to committee calendar and the minutes. the public is not allowed to comment when an item has previously been subject to public comment at a board committee. pursuant to the board's walls of order please direct your remarks to the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors nor to the audience. speakers using translation assistance we allowed twice the amount of time to testify in if you would like to display a document on the overhead projector, these clearly state such usf gtd and remove the document when you would like to screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> commissioners, the cultivation of public virtue should reflect the connection of truth and nature in unity for

recognize the interdependence of all life. that we and operate community agreements about respectful and sustainable use of space. not these of ownership. that homes will be a right and a sacred trust. in the future, this time will be remembered as a revolution. revolving around the access of love and the on housed will be honored as those who fearlessly claimed the commons. in day where the occupiers of today good no matter what was done to them, they returned to declare their right to exist, that they were courageous in creating homes out of practically nothing, even when their own government stole their possessions arrested him for sleeping, and give them no food and shelter were even toilets. may we save

ourselves by reaching out in every way we can and ending this a moral and immoral system. this priority is always in the end, about honey and power. we see our brothers and sisters in the streets, they we see them as the leaders that they are toward a compassionate future. thank you i'm a all of you for the steps you made in the right direction you made. i would also like to honor amy weiss who did not win mayor but is acting the dignity and responsibility towards the homeless as our mayor should today. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm inspired to come to this meeting today by something i read in the san francisco chronicle. the supervisor

declared a shelter crisis and part of that was in relation to alcohol and the very uncomfortable for the community of elderly people on the street. it gets harder and harder the older they get to fix things right so that they do have a healthy lifestyle. maybe we can prevent the degradation to people in alcoholism by a new approach. the suggestion-the suggestion in the newspaper was to have warehouses. this has been tried out as it said in the paper, but it doesn't have enough background knowledge to it. isn't that easy. what we need is not so much what-houses that houses for doing something

about alcohol addiction. and that is knowledgeable. i wrote an article published to all the voters in the county and it said 5 white truck drivers drink beer. it told me the kind of thing we can do to go on present knowledge but it takes a different kind of audience were not so much an audience but a different kind of forum. maybe supervisor campos would have talk with me and he could tell by his wet-houses that would tell you another way to do. that's good people on an expert bases. >> thank you. thank you,

ma'am thank you for being here today. thank you, ma'am. next speaker, please. >> so, we invited the department of justice to our city did we did and outreach in the bayview. they're going to have a meeting today at the mission where they're going to speak to the department of justice, the doj. which i feel should stand for that apartment of jokers. you cannot have an investigation. the review board tells you it's good take him about 2 years to come up with some type of adjudication. while our young men and others are dying on our streets of san francisco. i come here from

time to time and i'm listening to you, supervisors, and i know the supervisors that have compassion and i know the other supervisors who are sellouts to melissa and to the developers take money and don't do anything for money. now, on april 14 we shut down city hall. you know that. may the supervisors ran away from these chambers. it's not impossible for us. to shut down city hall. it's not impossible in this digital world. this is not a threat. when we shut down city hall on april 14 we inform everybody include the mayor who ran away. we will shut down city hall without stepping into city hall. and we will see there is a movement now. those supervisors who failed to represent the constituents of san francisco we will target

you. we will target you. so, i walked for [inaudible] i took my time but i walked and made it good i attended a protest and so one supervisor. i'm telling you [inaudible]. >> thank you. i would just like to knowledge who is in the audience >> thank you. i like to knowledge in the audience was in the audience but who's hanging around the former chief of juvenile hall, bill silverman. thank you for being here today with us go. you look very happy since i guess retirement is agreeing with you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is sonia trouts. i'm founder of the sf bay area renters federation. at

the favor he 17th was committee hearing peskin and kim insisted 25% inclusionary requirements would not kill any project. if this claim is sincere, don't give away any affordability. don't exempt any projects from the 25% requirements. don't grandfather anything in the pipeline. if some projects need to be exempted in order to remain economically feasible, then we approve that 25% is too high and some projects will be killed in the overall amount of affordable housing might go down. so, i'm asking the board of supervisors to vote against any grandfathering of projects that comes before you before the 19th if we see you vote for grandfathering, we will know that when deals are being made between supervisors and developers who are seeking relief from the new 25%

requirements. what the developers have to offer exchange for grandfathering? is up to developers opposed to [inaudible] and save via media projects but future projects made in feasible by the new 25% requirements will never be proposed and renters and future residents will be thrown under the bus to thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i am mike-i live in north beach. i concur with previous speakers remarks. i question cutting a deal with one group of developers over another. particularly, when the current criteria for that one over the other is where they stand in development pipeline. regardless of what anyone came to a conclusion of about the feasibility of the coming measure, it is highly likely

that 25% acquirement is going to kill some projects. i would put to you that the projects that will be killed by that requirements are among the projects that we need the most. projects with tight schedules. projects with limited budget. because those other projects that are most likely to filter over time. most likely to become affordable over successive years to working people. years after they've been built. if they won't get built if this deal goes through. moreover, i would put to you that we should not be basing our goals for affordable housing based on what percentages we can exact from builders. we should making the goal based on the number of units we need can create. because otherwise if you base it simply on percentages you come up with further punitive answers that

we will not get parking rate projects built and were going get the afford housing either. thanks for listening. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is john sure him with a san francisco renters associated i'm happy to see co2 emission items come up for today. i'm here to ask the board of supervisors draft and pass a resolution to study code changes to incentivize cost timber construction in san francisco. this uses superstrong advance particleboard beams made from sustainable forests to place steel beams were concrete and rebar in large and small high-rise construction at why is this important? in concrete rebar to such around 50% of the total greenhouse gas emissions that come from a building with a course of its lifetime come from concrete used at the time of construction. we will build

hundreds, 100,000 or more units over the next century in san francisco. the midrise and small high-rise density were cross laminated timber can be used. we consider the reduced emissions generated by these buildings the city as a whole. in fact, this source carbon in the friends keep being locked in the atmosphere over that 100 could, and or global [inaudible]. the professional information you can find on the internet is very encouraging. willie is made of cross laminated timber residency 20 stories in austria and scandinavia. vancouver portland and seattle also projects planned in code changes. san francisco should be following closely behind so they succeed without major problems, technical palms. wiccans are using cross laminated timber as well. the largest construction that is relatively new technology not account afford in building codes and also just the inertia of the construction

industry which used to working with concrete. here's the thing. the price of concrete is the percent higher this year than it was last year one developer told me. it was only high due to construction. in this environment cross laminated timber reduces housing costs. we can use to reduce housing cause either to make sure were housing gets built with the same amount of money or to- >> bt. next speaker, please. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> tom gilbert. in deference to nancy reagan, she existed, a woman in a man's world in a man's group. i took my pat took it down in the peninsula the 97-year-old woman has died. she was being evicted during this
