supported by small business commission. dbi staff has worked hard on this the mayor's office on disability especially carla johnson, public works, planning and so forth. it's been a really collaborative effort to make this happen and so i just want to say that once this passes and implemented we will start seeing improvements to all places of public accommodation do i want to thank everyone for the sport >> president speed read thank you. can we take this item because it would change with mar rollcall vote >> clerk: item item 12 campos aye cohen aye farrell aye kim aye, mar aye, because can aye, tang aye, wiener aye, yee aye, avalos aye, breed aye. there

are 11 aye >> president. this ordinance is passed unanimously on the first reading >>[gavel] >> clerk: item 13 and ordinance amend the police code to require employers to provide supplemental condensation to employees were receiving state paid family leave for purpose of bonding with a new child. >> president breed provides her wiener >> supervisor wiener: colleagues, today before us is legislation that will keep san francisco on the leading edge of public policy to support workers and to support working families in our city, which has become increasingly unaffordable or too many of our residents. this specifically, this legislation will make san francisco the first place in the united states to guarantee

6 prepaid weeks of parental leave for new parents. whether through biological birth or through adoption. i want to thank supervisor yee for his cosponsorship of the legislation and i want to thank andres power in my office for his incredible work moving this important legislation forward. colleagues, it is surprising and troubling that for every significant portion of people in our country people can give birth, adopt or foster baby today and be required to go back to work tomorrow. for many, this untenable choice is a choice between bonding with the new child and putting food on the table. this is not a choice that any family should have to make. even though studies have shown over and over again the incredible benefit of allowing parents the opportunity to bond with the

new child, benefits for the family as a whole come and if it's for that child, benefits for the parents when he or she goes back to work in terms of productivity, we are in the united states so far behind. the united states is one of only 4 countries in the world -the other 3 being swaziland and papa new guinea that does not require at least paid maternity leave. instead, while about half of us employees have the right to take up to 3 months of unpaid time off, very small minority of workers in this country actually have access to paid parental leave. particularly, for lower income working class families people do not have the option of not getting paid in order to stay at home and bond with a new child. this is absolutely an issue of income inequality

where we have higher paid workers who frequently have better access to parental leave and lower paid workers tha have little or no access to while we have some large companies here in san francisco and the bay area who are very admirably stepped up to make sure the workers have access to paper and delete, it is time to make sure that all workers have access to parental leave. california is one of 3 and italy note for states with new york actions at yesterday the provide some level of benefits for new parents to take trade parental bonding a good california through the state disability system which is funded entirely by worker payroll that options provides 55% of salary replacement for 6 weeks. this is est. in 2004 and it's been a very beneficial program. but, while this is certainly somewhat better than anywhere else in the country, for many workers to take a 45

to take a $.45 pay cut is essentially the same as being denied parental leave. although we have seen some real benefits to this program in terms of parents ability to bond with a child, benefits for fathers who be able to participate more in their child's life, and increases in breast-feeding, and worker him that activity improvement with ashley seen a drop-off in participation in the program likely because it's just too expensive for people to live and to take a significant pay cut to bond with a new job. this legislation will require that employers with 20 or more workers provide the other $.45 so the worker receives 100% wage replacement for 6 weeks. this will move a significant barrier in terms of particularly lower income working class families being able to access paid parental leave and i want to thank the youth commission for supporting

this legislation as well as the commission on the status of women. he also received a letter last week from planned parenthood stressing its support. since the introduction of the legislation we work closely with the broad coalition of stakeholders. a wonderful advocates working locally, statewide and nationally to expand access to paid parental leave as well as family leave generally. but also with the business community. i know we've heard from some members of the business community about their concerns run the financial impact of this legislation,, and i want to just assure you we worked closely with the business community from before introd of uctionis legislation and have excepted a series of amendments from the business day to make sure we're taking a balanced approach that supports our business community while also supporting working families in san francisco. as you know, colleagues, in committee there was an man works

that was adopted over my objection to illuminate private right of action for this legislation. i colleagues today i distributed and an amendment that would restore the private right of action in a modified form. specifically, it will require a worker who believes he or she has been deprived of this benefit to file a complaint with the office of labor standards enforcement could well see love 90 days to investigate and make a determination. if they make a determination then so be it but if they do not act or for whatever reason is not taking action or investigating the worker will then be able to file a lawsuit. we want to make sure will be able to gain access to these benefits. i want to thank the amazing coalition we worked with. the california work and family coalition. the legal aid society. the employment law

center equal rights advocates and the opportunity to colleagues, this legislation is an amazing opportunity for us once again to show that san francisco leads the way. yes, we wanted to be a federal paid parental leave program. we wanted to be a statewide program. it would be great if the state or federal government stepped up tomorrow and said were going to do this. but, for now we are to do what we've always done and that is to lead and whether it's minimum wage, paid sick leave universal healthcare, san francisco has lived in the state and sometimes even the federal government has followed and i'm confident that will happen again. so, colleagues, i ask for your support thank you very much. >> president >>[reading] is that a motion to amend? moved and seconded. i apologize good i'm going to call on supervisor peskin designer accidentally removed his name from the list. supervisor peskin the one

peskin: >> supervisor peskin i rise in general support for this measure. this may be ironic on my last time on this board of supervisors we lead the nation in many ways relative to minimum wage, healthcare, station, sick leave, paid time off but in all of those instances i think we endeavor to do what the sponsor supervisor wiener is endeavoring to do which is to allow a phase in period. i related there is a phase in period in this piece of legislation, but i think it could be you elongated a little bit and still ultimately achieve the kind of national we were attempting to do here. i also would like to suggest one other amendment which is when the legislation is currently structured it applies to employees who work for 90 days. i think it would be reasonable

to elongate that. i think we've heard that from another of constituents. specifically, i rise to make the following amendment that on page 4, line 3, which is to change the 90 days to 180 days. page 5, line 3 to change the number of 20, 2 number 35. so on january 31 of 2017 this would apply to businesses of 50 or more. on july 1 of 2017 would apply to businesses of 35 or more and then to add a 3rd tier which is on january 1 of 2018 to have it applied to businesses of 20 or more. so, those are the amendments that i'm standing to offer. the dent breed >> president breed your copy of those amendments?

>> supervisor peskin noted but i provided a copy to the attorney. page 3, line 4 strike 90 and insert 180. on page 4, at line 19 it says covered employer as of january 1, 2017, means any person as defined under section 18, the sentence goes on to say, regularly employs 50 or more employees regardless of location. the next one says, covered employer as of . the next one says, covered employer as of july 1, 2017 means somebody employed-this is down page 5, line 3, 20 or more employees. i suggest we strike 20 and insert the number, 35. then, repeat that paragraph and have it say as a jerry one 2018 employees who regularly employs 20 or more >> president breed: is there a

2nd for supervisor because his motion? moved and seconded. with that i like to call on supervisor farrell >> supervisor farrell only some general comment. i'd also want to thank supervisor wiener and tang on this issue over the past year. as someone with cerebral children are that we can do enough in this regard. i appreciate the balancing act for all the constituencies penalizing them for their leadership on its whatever form of passes out today i think it's a great thing for our city >> president breed: supervisor yee >> supervisor yee: i really want to say i'm a proud cosponsor and i want to give supervisor wiener some credit for bringing this up. these are issues that may be supervisor peskin, myself in the community for me since the

early 80s when we were trying to get the family leave act together. that took forever. finally we passed it and this fight has been going on for ever at the national level and this is really shameful thing that this nation doesn't have a national policy around parental leave. just about every other country, every developed country has one. so, this could take san francisco to take the lead and say, yes, you should be ashamed of this federal government we will do that. i am hopeful that like supervisor wiener, the federal government at some point soon will step up and actually follow suit and give parents what they deserve and what they really need in terms of having a bonding with the children and

not having to choose between not having a job and so forth. to take care of the young child. so, i'm fully in support of this already. i just want to say make that statement, i think all this should be proud of this legislation >> president breed: supervisor cohen >> supervisor >>[adjournment] : actually i think peskin answered a few of my questions. i want to put a question to the maker of the sponsor of this legislation. i definitely would knowledge that tang and scott wiener have demonstrated good i think incredibly important we continue to have this and push this city ultimately pushing the state to get to create an appropriate policy to support families. so, my question really to supervisor wiener how long would employee be employed for leave? the answer is

definitely 90 days. i did receive some questions and pushback from some of the small businesses in my district and i want to pose some questions publicly. could you talk to me a little bit how you came to 90 days of employment as opposed to what were discussing i think supervisor peskin is introduced and amendment articulating a desire to see it move to 180 days. the could shed some light on that? mdm. chair, if i may have asked supervisor peskin 2 provides are wiener some questions i like to have an opportunity to have them answer >> president breed supervisor wiener >> supervisor wiener: thank you for the class. there's nothing magical about-we want to make sure there's a window of time that it would apply to someone working and when on leave week or 2 later. i think that 90

days is reasonable. i think when hundred 80 days is reasonable. there's absolute nothing magic. if people would prefer to go with 180 days that would be fine whitney. i think 90, 180 both within a reasonable range. >> supervisor cohen: that answers my question the other elements i like is interesting is that it's scalable. something else i heard concerns for my constituents about it like what we get with another piece of legislation a few years ago those pre-controversial. we had it scaling up to reach to a certain point. can you talk a solo but that >> supervisor wiener: so, when we initially introduced the legislation it would've gone into or initially drafted it would've gone into effect 30 days after the mayor's signature. applying to

businesses with 20 workers or more. we then changed it so that it went into effect on january 1, 2017 can i send many businesses do their planning on a calendar year basis. so, giving people until january 1 of this coming year. in committee, supervisor tang proposed for businesses that were under 50, was 20-49 giving workers extra time so in committee be made and amendment to say on january 1 it'll take a factor for businesses with 50 or more workers and on july 1 of next year for businesses of 20-49 workers. supervisor peskin is proposing a very modest change to that. to say it'll still go into effect for 50 workers or more january 1,, 435-49 workers on july 1, then for that limited subset of businesses between 20 and 30

workers 5 additional 6 months until january 1, 2018 good i'm happy to support that amendments. it's a very modest change and it will start going to effect january 1 in a year later be fully in effect >> president breed thank you. supervisor mar >> supervisor; i appreciate supervisor wiener's leadership on this issue. you mentioned the california working how families plummet lozenge or equal rights advocates. many others on these issues could was a pleasure to work with them on the retail workers unprintable scheduling and copies of on-call schedule and i think the peskin amendment addresses of the concerns by some of the small business commissioners and others. i appreciate that supervisor wiener has spoken to us on a witty and low-wage workers are challenged in many ways and i think this will help as a

member of the first 5 commission understand the brain development from birth-5 to 6 week period is critical in brain development in bonding and emotional the moment her babies and young ones. i think this sets us more on the level of the european social democracy that have more forward looking policies like this. i think the phase-in makes sense. i am glad that we retained the 20 employee threshold, which is really critical and going up to 20 team make sense to give many of the smaller and medium-sized businesses in chance to address their own management issues. i just want to say, too, i think for working families as a father having 6 months of parental leave is supervisor farrell mentioned, that would've allowed me much more of an effort to build a bond with my child. now try to catch up she turned 16. i think this

is a really forward looking policy. i'm pleased that the leadership that supervisor wiener is showing overly we supported by the sport. him and supportive of the amendment and of the ordinance as amended as well. >> president breed: just a word of caution, bonding with a teenager is virtually impossible. supervisors become close >> supervisor campos: i want to thank supervisor the winner for his leadership on this. i think that this is something that is a step in the right direction and make sense that san francisco would be leading the way. as we have on other issues. as a matter of consistency, i will not be supporting the amendment could him so much sure why we especially with the progressive majority on this board would weaken the law when it comes to protecting workers. i think that increasing the threshold, whether it's

temporary or not means that fewer workers will be covered by this and i've seen this movie before. as someone who has a different time proposed changes to the healthcare law and the same arguments are made, were made, in terms of the parade of horrible so what happened. i'm open to having a meaningful discussion about how changes should happen but i'm not convinced that going from 90 to 180 make sense and i think if were going to do this that we should do it as strongly as we can. so, i will be voting against the amendment. i think the amendment is watered-down of the protections and therefore committed to this then let's do it. i have yet to hear any arguments as to why these

changes, these amendments actually make the law more feasible. i know that for many businesses if they had a choice they wouldn't want this passed. if they had a choice they would not have wanted to help the security ordinance have passed. i think if we want to focus on how we make things better for the community there's things we can do. i certainly have tried to do that with proposition j and other efforts but i don't think that watered-down protections for workers is the way to do that. i will be voting no on the amendment >> president breed: the visor beanie >> supervisor yee: i forgot to mention that i know somebody who receive some correspondence or calls from nonprofits in regards to this piece of legislation. certainly, i had. i just want to mention that at the committee hearing we

actually did you do some language in their 2 address of the some of these issues. so, i just want to point that out that we are asking the controller and office of labor standards enforcement to provide alternative to the board of supervisors airport including the estimate the cost of compliance of this particular ordinance and for nonprofit organizations. to come up with policies and budget options that would enable the city to subsidize these costs through annual budgets. i'm talking about these organizations that get contacted from the city to do work. so, one of the things i want to make sure is that we don't have somebody that would contract with us to do the work and there's no funding for the stricter requirements. so again i just want to point it out. if nonprofits to become contacted

dissembling virginia. >> president breed thank you. supervisor cohen >> supervisor cohen: i'm interested in hearing his argument as to why or how the moments watered-down or we can the workers protection? >> supervisor campos: even though it's a separate change by increasing the threshold to a larger number of employees that means that from 20-250 even temporary change it means that fewer employees will be covered by this. likewise, doubling the amount of time you have to work to be protected from 90 days to 180 days fewer workers in my view would be covered. i don't know what the numbers are and i think before we start down the path of making these changes that this should be some analysis of what the impact is. i just feel uncomfortable going down this

path. first of all, i do think as a general rule will be fewer workers covered, and 2nd, even if it makes sense to have it understanding of why make sense, why these specific changes and what are the impacts in terms of how big businesses would be impacted and how many employees would be impacted. >> president breed sadistic clarification. it's minor staining were talking about a difference of a years time in terms of its effect so i just want to-6 month. supervisor wiener. can you explain? i just would like clarity on the difference because what we are talking about here in the number of employees in the hours of the employees, we are talking taking something in effect initially at 20 for a

higher threshold. at the beginning of 2017, and then the difference for the next threshold of employee is what in particular? >> supervisor wiener: these are minor amendments. frankly, had we in introducing legislation put 180 days and instead of 90 days i can guarantee you that topic would not even come up for discussion at the board of supervisors. because they're both reasonable amounts. so, the fact is we put in 90. understanding whether it's 90, 120, 180, it's all reasonable. supervisor peskin i suggested we go to 180. the board wants to do that it's totally within the range. again, had been put in 180 from the beginning of going to get my lunch no member of the board of supervisors to raise that issue. in terms of the phasing in, it's very minor modification that supervisor peskin has proposed to say that

for businesses 20-34 workers instead of going into effect july 1 of next year ago into effect 6 months later and at that point every single worker from businesses 20 or more workers will be covered by this. huge step forward. it's just a minor change in of the board wants to go in that direction it does not in any way undermine the legislation. >> president breed see no other names on the roster, we have before us to amendments to consider. the first amendment has been circulated by supervisor wiener. mdm. clerk, on the first amendment which was seconded, can you please call the roll >> clerk: supervisor campos aye, >> president breed supervisor wiener's specific amendment

relationship with a tenant and the tenant has resided in the unit for 12 months or more provided however this ordinance would not restrict the timing of evictions performed in connection with mandatory seismic virtual pets and to remove existing exceptions for owners apply to owner move-in admissions during fiscal year. >> president breed supervisor campos >> supervisor speakos: the legislation >> supervisor campos: the legislation before you today is about helping educators remain in their home during the academic year. i want to thank supervisor kim avalos cohen and particular supervisor mar because this logician builds on a prior legislative effort that supervisor demar spearheaded in 2009. it only allows landlords to evict families when your

children under 18 during the summer not during the academic year. this legislation we've done 2 things. one, we've expanded that legislation to include all no-fault evictions so that families with children under 18 cannot be evicted during the school year for evictions related to condo conversion, removal of rental units, capital improvements, and substantial rehabilitation. the 2nd thing we do, we include educators and we define educators as people who work at san francisco schools directly with students, whether preschools, home daycare's, and k-12 schools, both in public and private schools could this also, this not only includes the teacher, paraprofessional, administrator, counselor, but also includes security guards, attendance, liaisons, cafeteria workers, school nurses, social

workers, psychologists. this ordinance will help mitigate the impact of displacement in educators and families. the children.. it will help minimize the harm evictions can have on a child and the school community. san francisco then data for one year shows that there were 2120 notices of evictions filed between march 2014 and march 2015. this is a 50% increase compared to 5 years prior. with regard to no-fault evictions the work or hundred 38 evictions on record for that year. but housing advocates point out point out the number is probably more than double. the impact on families with children of evictions is very significant. if you are an educator the impact of an eviction is pretty significant in the sense that if you're evicted him means you are pushed out. not only in san francisco but chances are the bay area. the starting salary for a fully credentialed teacher is less than $3400 per

month. that is lower than the median rental price for a one bedroom, which is $3620. paraprofessionals make a lot a lot less. $2083 a month. so being evicted from apartment means essentially that you are no longer able to live in san francisco. this is something happening not only in san francisco but in the rest of the state and nationwide. we have a teacher and school staff shortage hi sis and that is playing itself out in our public schools and private schools. last year we had 500 openings at the school district alone. we had also insufficient numbers of substitute teachers because these teachers are not able to afford to live in san francisco. so, you have children in our public school

system that must double up with other fast mates classmates which is led to overcrowding and having a difficult learning environment in classrooms throughout san francisco. it is not only when a staff member is addicted that an absence occurs. it also happens during the period when that worker is fighting an eviction which involves any appearances in court and other proceedings. so, i also want to say that one of the things that has been said about this ordinance is that this could actually end up humming educators because it would discourage landlords and property owners from renting to them. i want to make it clear that that is simply not well-founded. it actually ignores the law. as was noted by people who are working on this for quite some time, california law clearly

prohibits discrimination based on source of income, and against families with children. our city attorney can prosecute any landlord was found to be illegally discriminating against a member of any protected group. our families and educators in san francisco need our help. i want to think of following people who up in instrumental in making this legislation possible by chief of staff hillary running. my legislative aide carolyn guzman had big thanks to lita blanc was the president of united educators of san francisco. also to dean preston, the director of-was actually dean's idea to come up with this piece of legislation. i also want to think that youth commission for unanimously supporting this law as well as to the san francisco

tenants union, housing rights committee, school board commissioners, sandy fewer, and matt haynie further support. colleagues, i ask for your support in making this possible today. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor mar >> supervisor; mar i want to give props to supervisor campos. in 2009-10 lower for the anti-eviction coalition of parents and others, because of a family protection act is very proud supervisors because it has even strengthened our intent to really support the staff and educators and teachers at school sites and really working to minimize the stress on children during the school year. i think him a like a six-week paper and to leave this is a very important policy that makes befriend a family-friendly and child friendly city. i think we do block and united educators of san francisco deserve tremendous credit. this number does one teacher says. facing evictions could we are hearing about it every month. having

policies like this not only will help with children and families but also many teachers and school staff that are struggling during this crisis of affordability to stay in our city and keep serving the kids and community and the people. so i'm proud to be a cosponsor of this and couldn't continue our work to minimize displacement has supervisor campos mentioned but to allow staff and educators to continue to educate and nurture our kids during the school year. >> president breed supervisor yee >> supervisor yee: i want to thank supervisors because for putting this forward. i specified to thank him for including some language that we encouraged to define teachers and educators beyond what some people would consider to be the only definition, which is from teachers from k to 12. several

people mentioned supervisor mar mentioned about 3 years in terms of the development and teachers are the ones that would impact that. they provide early childhood education and childcare centers and family child care homes. indeed, these are the people that even paid a lot less the teachers we already mentioned could. these are the ones these are the people that we need to help the most and in the past, i would say that without having such an enlightened composition of supervisors, in the past this would not have never flew in terms of having a lens am glad including that subset of

educators. i think they're really happy about this. i meant. what of this. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor kim >> supervisor kim: i want to think and organize a supervisor avalos and staff for their work on expanding this ordinance as originally written. i supervisor mar. and expanding it for the types of no class evictions but also for educated. we actually had a hearing at the school district board of supervisors select committee in september of last year with the mayor's office of housing reported that currently zero market-rate homes for sale in san francisco error are affordable to an average sf school district side. their zero homes currently affordable for the average as of side. get 72% of teachers live in san francisco and we loan out roughly 50% of teachers in san francisco leave their position

in san francisco after 5 years because often citing difficulty of finding affordable housing in the city where they teach being a factor. we know that actually teachers dramatically improve over time. in fact, 5 years is a good marker where teachers are finally really able to utilize other skills, their experience. also, their familiarity with the community to come really really strong teachers and disappoint in time that we want to retain our teachers instead of losing them. i think this will be important to measure in at least protecting teachers in place during the school year. which i think is incredibly important. we don't want teachers to bring the housing and security into the classroom when the teaching our children and this is a good step ensuring teachers will be

safe and protected while they're teaching in the school year. also spending this protection to families with children in a variety of different profession. i'm excited to cosponsor this legislation and abroad will be moving this to today >> president >>[reading] thank you i want to also add thank you to supervisor campos for bringing this legislation for. our office try to work with you to dig a little deeper and look at affordable housing as well as public housing and the students of possible teachers live in those moments should also the same protections as those who live out there in the open market. so dad my name first of all to this legislation is a cosponsor and then continue to work with your office to explore making sure that we are looking at the broader housing market and were really targeting especially affordable in public housing all over our city. with that, i see other names on the roster. supervisor cohen

>> supervisor >>[adjournment] can i just like to ask a question question to make this legislation. i'm curious to know what happened to the teacher is teaching during the school year roughly september -june and then decides to go into summer school. does that extension, as teaching? >> supervisor campos: we basically limited to the school year to the academic year so summer does not included in that. how far we can take this is not entirely clear. i think we tried to take it as far as we possibly can. but i would hope this would inspire landlords not to eat at any educator even during the summer but it's only the academic year >> supervisor cohen does it

include special education centers were about paraprofessionals? and teachers assistance, anyone that's working for the san francisco unified school district? >> supervisor campos anyone that works in the school setting not just public but private schools building a we have a large percentage of san francisco children that attend private schools so we want to protect them as well. >> president breed: thank you. supervisors because >> supervisor campos: i look forward to working with you on expanding production. but amy said rachel sends and i think we can definitely do a better job so look forward to reviewing office. >> president be great is a great step in the right directions we appreciate it. with that, colleagues, we take item 18 same house, same call? without objection the ordinance passes unanimously on the first reading >>[gavel] . breed item 19 pico item 19 and ordinance to amanda please go to mandate the businesses

and places of public accommodation designate single-user toilet facilities that are visible to the public or employees all gender accessible to persons of any gender identity to bar enforcement of the signage requirements by the dept. of building inspection to amend administrative code to acquire buildings on land that the city owns or leases to provide all gender toilet facilities and affirming the planet thomas ceqa determination. >> president breed supervisor avalos >> supervisor campos: the next piece of legislation that's common sense legislation that my staff has been working on for many months and we have been doing that in close partnership with the transgender law center as well as senior disability ashley i actually know that supervisor farrell and others have also been working on this but the bottom line is that i think that collectively we should be very proud of the fact that as places like north carolina moved to take rights away from

members of the transgender community we here in san francisco are doing the opposite. we are actually taking a step in the right direction and ashley protecting the rights of all people to do something as basic and as essential and yet, so critical, as going to the bathroom. i want to thank my cosponsors of this legislation supervisor farrell, kim, avalos, mar, yee. this legislation requires businesses, places of public accommodation in city buildings to identify any single occupancy restaurant is in all gender restroom by changing the signage on that board. the ordinance allows but doesn't require entities to create multi-stall toilet facilities that all gender. a term that means a general neutral or unisex. for city buildings the law will also require at least

one all gender restroom be provided on each floor of any new construction or renovated building. the apartment also applies to buildings look at our property that is respected city and county of san francisco. the ordinance also requires there's 5 or more toilet facilities that are designed for multiple occupants that one of the facilities must be identified as an all gender restroom. san francisco is not the first city to enact such a bucket washington dc, in fact, was the first and dc was followed by philadelphia, austin, west hollywood, berkeley and new york. however, were actually doing it right. what we are voting on today is the most conference of legislation on the topic that has been drafted anywhere in this country. it is unique in that it includes an enforcement mechanism to the human rights commission, through the dept. of building inspections and

its uses it uses many mechanisms to actually lead to compliance. this legislation will help ensure all san franciscans can use the bathroom in peace without fear of harassment, discrimination, confusion and embarrassment or physical harm. ultimately this legislation will benefit many people, not only in the transgender community, which is what people usually think about , but also includes parents with the opposite gender children to seniors and disabled people with opposite gender caretakers, members of the transgender community and gender nonconforming people who too often had to face harassment when using the russman. 2 ashley women who -eithertampa to are probably sick and tired of the long lines that they have to wait to use the bathroom growth of

demand. i want to thank the following individuals who were dismantling making this law possible. sasha we share the transgender law ctr., jessica lehman, director of senior disability action, carla johnson , whose incredible in her role as the head of the mayor's office of disability, which how taranto dept. of building inspection i also want to thank director he we are making this a priority. regina that conducive small business commission. i want to thank mayor lee and his staff bill barnes and john update of the dept. of real estate who worked with us to make this possible. and a special thanks to someone who is been working in the area of transgender rights for somebody years. 2 ashley was the person who came to meet with the idea that is theresa sparks, director of the human rights commission, who approach

me not too long ago about making this possible. then, lastly, i wonder think the business community could so many different folks who work with estimation that we did the right thing when it comes to this issue could so i want to thank the golden gate restaurant association, chambers of commerce, the hotel counsel . thank you very much and finally, to the commissions inspection commission and the commission also supported it. colleagues, ask for your support. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor farrell >> supervisor chow: i do i think supervisors because a greater first work on this in the coalition. advocates and organizations that operate this policy. i do believe the supervisor become a smidgen of the case as to significance given some of legislation around

we see around the country especially recently as of yesterday. last night the mississippi legislature passed and the government signed sweeping discrimination bill dies in the cloak of protecting religious freedom which we see quite a bit about the upcoming georgia was different that we also north carolina which supervisor campos mentioned recent. lawmakers indiana virginia south dakota have all offered similar bills.. really do think san francisco we are spoiled that we don't have to deal with those types of legislative ideas but it's really sad to see that type of bigotry still exists across our country. you're just like supervisor campos, i believe everybody deserves the right to use the restroom in peace free from discrimination or restaurant that is long overdue. i do think gender identity and sexual orientation as something witty to protect. san francisco and protect their rights certainly is a legislative body

certainly as is a good thing is a great piece of legislation and thank you for working on this. equal access any courts needs to be something we buy for every survey on how to support this >> president breed: bt supervisor wiener >> supervisor wiener: thank you to supervisors because and farrell for pushing this forward. please add me as a cosponsor. i want to reiterate how perfect this timing is that were doing this immediately after the passage and signing into law of the despicable law in north carolina that basically announces to the lgbt community that they are not full citizens. the idea in north carolina at this law stands up which i hope it doesn't, that will not have apparently bathroom police who have to do

some sort of inspection to tell you which bathroom are allowed to use it it's really just straight out of 500 years ago or something and it's really so out of step where we are going as a society. san francisco has, for many years, led the way in terms of replacing our transgender brothers and sisters . i'm making it very clear that our transgender community is at the heart of our overall community and that we rise or fall together. so, this legislation is a good additional signal that we stand with all san franciscans of all genders of all gender identities and i'm proud to support. >> president breed bt:. super thank you. supervisors because >> supervisor campos on our thank you supervisor wiener and president breed for being added

as cosponsors. this is one of those things that i think in 5 to 10, 20 or so look back and wonder why were we fighting about this but i'm just so proud that all of us are pushing this forward and i forgot to thank carolyn in my office who just pushed to get this through as quickly as possible. i have the smallest bladder of anyone i know some to me >> president breed tmi supervisor campos >> supervisor campos i asked for your support >> president breed thank you for your leadership on this issue. when i went about with happening in north carolina and what happened in the 1960s to the african-americans a time when things were supposedly separate but equal and they were not an folk stood up and

today we are able to use the bathroom that anybody of any race can use and i think the same should be for any gender selected shape your leadership on the spirit with that, colleagues predict this item same house, same call? without objection the ordinance passes unanimously on the first reading >>[gavel] >> clerk: item 20 and ordinance to make findings and declare the existence of the shelter crisis in san francisco >> president breed: supervisor yee >> supervisor yee: sorry about that. >> president breed supervisor campos >> supervisor chavez i will campos >> supervisor campos: i believe we reached a state of emergency but comes to the issue of homelessness. especially

homelessness as it's playing itself out within cameras throughout the city. i went to this opportunity first by thinking my staff, hillary ronan, carolyn goossen but i also want to thank someone who i learned a lot from on the issue of homelessness and been working on this issue for quite some time in that is gavin duffy. we've heard from homeless advocates and service providers. we and my office continue to hear from residents. we've heard from small business owners. we've heard from homeless people themselves and the sad thing is in this city that those a budget of more than $9 billion

a city that has more billionaires per capita than any other city with thousands of san franciscans, thousands of people are left to suffer on the streets of the city. the residents of san francisco, and i can tell use only the residents of district 9, are frustrated. they have been left to deal with the growing encasements in our residential neighborhoods and i believe respectfully to everyone involved, we collectively as city government have failed to address this issue in a meaningful wheel weight. we'll wait. i believe that failure buyers especially those of us who are elected members of this llegislative branch that we act. to address this crisis, to increase our city's capacity to address homelessness and i believe we have to recognize that it is a crisis and it is a

emergency. that's what this declaration of a shelter emergency does. this legislation allows the city to be more flexible when it comes to structural and habitability requirements. it suspends certain rules should we choose to do so for particular site that makes sense as a shelter were navigation center. it doesn't take away community input and that is very clear. i support the amendment does pay my supervisor yee to make that clear. but, for example the building code says that housing for particular site must have one bathroom for 6 residents at the facility that is identified has a good option for navigation center or shelter is one bathroom for every 7 residents, this would allows to use that space. at the end of the day, though, the declaration of a shelter emergency alone is not going to

change what needs to be changed. we have to follow through with other action and as you know i have a introduce legislation that follows this declaration with a designation of additional navigation centers tied and connected to housing. this legislation is a tool will help us mordantly respond to homelessness but it will help us more quickly put together temporary shelters whether it's a navigation center or something else but again it is a first step. i would to thank my cosponsors of this legislation supervisor kim, campos, nay, president breed, supervisor peskin, cohen. i also want to note as i mentioned there was an amendment by supervisor yee witchy introducing committee was

clarified that this legislation does not override the community input or planning process when it comes to this deciding what her particular site is good site for navigation center. community input is absolutely critical in determining whether or shelter were navigation center should be at a particular place. homelessness is the number one priority for the people of san francisco. it's not me saying that the chamber of commerce and others who've asked the people of san francisco can tell you that. people want us to use whatever legislative budgetary discretion we have 20 in on this issue. there isn't one silver bullet and this is a step in the right direction and i ask for your support >> president breed thank you. supervisor yee >> supervisor yee: once again, thank you supervisor campos for introducing yet another piece of legislation to vote on

today. we've been facing this emergency on homelessness for years now. probably like everyone else district 7 is not any different. the residents are growing pretty increasingly concerned with the homeless population. and how it is impacting us as a society. we really need to be working towards a solution as a collective community there's been a lot of confusion with what's been introduced and so forth and about how sites have been selected and if neighbors will no longer have a say in offering the best options for homeless shelters. homeless residents. the supervisor campos mentioned, introducing language to amend the legislation that's a much amending it. i would say it's claire fine that, yes, we would

not be bypassing community process. yes, would not be breaking codes to make things happen. so we need to state what the focus of this is. it's really too announce that we understand, we knowledge this is a problem. we need to put more effort more resources behind this particular crisis and we've got to work together. making this a political football game and that it should be really about working together. so, it's important that i reiterate that it is about coming up with solutions and asking the community to work together, people from the neighborhoods and so forth, to work together to come up with what is a sensible and for us

to view forward on this. with all the cooperation and working together we will find ourselves 4, 5, 10 years now talked not the same things and i don't think people out on the street can afford that. we really need to help them. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor farrell b1 farrell: colleagues, i agree the talking points that were just made an agreement disagreement on what the right path forward is good i didn't publicly stating that are homeless situation in san francisco is reached a state of emergency since last year. i'm talking about publicly time and time again a missionary, speaker homelessness within public or private reality on our streets here in san francisco every single neighborhood of our city. unfortunately it's been a state of emergency for decades the

supervisor s yee yee mentioned. across the country. when doing resources of the federal and state level for this issue and always asked to bear the burden of dealing with this issue. mostly from a financial perspective and certainly logistical perspective more than ever before. i do believe it's a point to note proposal in front of estimate is declare a shelter crisis and san francisco not a proposal to declare a state of emergency on homelessness. as a key difference here because statements from other folks, colleagues have been conflating the 2 proposals and what declaration of crisis actually conferences. we look at this issue from my office earlier last year in 2015 but the issue was didn't propose any solutions. to the issue or talk about however we can move further and talk about often the question heard in stephen.

the only entity that can truly declare a state of emergency on homelessness is the state of california. but this ordinance as to consequences. it shows the city from liability for ordinary negligence when using public facilities and emergency housing suspends our requirements to be in full compliance with all local health and safety standards on opening public facilities for the homeless camp. supervisor yee's amendment as a community process took addition to these legal consequences it doesn't open up or guarantee any opportunities for more resources from either state or federal government. i appreciate the legislation. i very much do. that is something i very much the open to support and looking up. during my time as supervisor, i've made addressing reducing homelessness a top priority weatherby hearings additional reports we got on the topic, but to secure funding authored and passed many policy proposals around the issue and real implementation. because of

this work in the solutions committee that advocated for a fully believe in reducing homelessness has to be housing housing first approach. i do have concerns about the proposal in front of us today to concern is being driven by some folks the way it's been talked out outside of the chambers is politics as opposed to policy. i'm concerned how this broader legislative process with no budget allocation over posted to actually open up any new shelters in the immediate future and consumer advocated today to percy's postwar rubble potentially substandard facilities that are adequate, safe or prepare to become a shelter without hope for the public investment. i'm concerned public is been sold a bill of goods be dismayed to see new new immediate action addressing homelessness or any drastic change in our street population results because of this. from my perspective retreat focusing on solutions that make a difference on the streets and our neighborhoods and not passing ordinance like this. mostly i'm concerned proposal

today ships us away from a nationally recognized and housing approach, housing first approach to homelessness. potentially cost our city a great deal of money in a different direction. i do believe our city lacks the shelter for street homeless population without a doubt. i'm not sold this proposal gives us any closer to getting individuals or families were anybody on the sheets off the streets and on their way to being on their own 2 feet and in their own lives. i firmly believe we need to advocate for more housing and vest and more housing here in san francisco and to our city budget for homeless. it continues to be the most humane and cost-effective manner to any homeless this promoter here in the city of san francisco. we should prioritize the vast majority of unlimited homelessness resources for housing exit and thankfully we been doing so with the past x

number of years and hope we continue doing so in the future. i will note from 2011-2015 are budget allocations for homelessness. san francisco and increased 55%. by no means addressing the situation under streets is acceptable at all. i think any event resident were personal works in our city thinks that weight believes it to be the case, but were moving in the right direction and it's time we start acting things. i look for to working all my colleagues . those with type of legislation policy proposal budget allocations are fully support. not to say we should be spending our shelter opportunities. it was announcement of the 2nd navigation center the other week. it's important to note the shelter navigation center is only as good as housing exit on the back in. that's the only way it works. without those

housing exit several people miss allocating scarce resources lessening our city's ability to positively impact those are cpi very mission we much appreciate the intent of the pros on continue to work my colleagues with advocates on homelessness. san francisco provided concrete solutions that make a difference in our neighborhoods. >> president breed: supervisor tang >> supervisor tang: i think supervisor farrell pretty much expressed my sentiments as well. i think all the supervisors have spent a lot of energy focus on homelessness issues and i don't think any of us during any of the budget processes have ever tried to deny funding to go to homeless services or housing. so, just to add on what supervisor farrell 7 i don't us to lose sight of the fact that back in the example fiscal year 11-12 we were investing hundred $57 million terms of homeless services in terms of supportive housing, whether for medical care, transitional housing, addiction prevention, rental

subsidies and so forth and up to the current fiscal year 15-16 were spending $242 million on these investments. alcan review more? absolutely but given many of our budget constraints think this is a very good investment we have been making in terms of homeless services. i almost about majority of what were spending is on helping formerly , was individuals stay in housing in a more stable condition and permanent supportive housing which i think is also the trajectory we should be going to try to build more navigation centers that again, will help resolve part of the problem but not all of the problem. it's an improvement. i love the first one. i want to think supervisor campos for accepting the first one in his district i think it's done wonders but of course i think our long-term strategy cannot be focused on just navigation centers. in addition

to that, i do want to remind everyone also about how much how many units of support of housing was added inner-city. again going back to fiscal year 11-12 we added 173 at the time. fast forward to 15-16 we added 418 units. i think that's incredible and i don't want us to lose sight of the fact we have been making a lot of progress. we have been hearing people who said that we need to do more and do better on the justin addressing homelessness issues. then was ashley very interesting to me was looking at the homeless-i know it's point in time talent and not completely accurate but filling 10 years back to 2005, there were in that document in the report 6248 homeless counted from the voluntary count we usually do every 2 years. fast forward to 2015, 6686 and this not including the use newly

added starting in 2013 that's about a 400 roughly 400% increase which of course is not good. but, i'm wondering why 10 years ago we had and declared it was an emergency weather was a shelter crisis at that time. again, i want to remind us all of all investments we collectively made in the city to address homelessness. i think that is the past we should continue to go down. then, not to say i think the navigation center the one that we have has been wonderful. i toured it. i think was such a great creative new way to approach this homeless issue. however, i don't think that's where focus should be on. i just want to say that today i want people to support this declaration i think if you were

doing something differently, if it resulted in funding to our city, to our state, then absolutely i would've supported it does not appear to do so. >> president breed thank you. supervisor wiener >> supervisor wiener: i think we are all in agreement that we do have an emergency situation under streets. i don't care where you are in the political spectrum in the city or where your views are on what's happening is a terrible unacceptable situation. it is an emergency. i also think it's important that we not mislead the public into thinking we're doing something when were actually not doing anything in terms of this particular piece of legislation. it's important we actually take changeable steps to address the crisis under streets with more permanent housing, and yes, i agree with our shelter beds, with more mature of services, with more drug addiction services and with more firm

efforts to address some of the behavior that were seen under streets but it's a broad ranging issue need to make sure they were actually addressing it. if i thought this legislation would do anything whatsoever to improve the situation under streets i would vote for it in a heartbeat but won't a thing. it will not help anything on our streets. it will not improve the situation soil will not be voting for it today. i'll be honest good with this legislation would supervisors because first introduced this legislation based on things i heard from supervisor campos and others i thought this could actually be a path forward at least for part of our problem. maybe it would open up resources. of coarse that we find out it opens up no additional resources and received a letter from the federal government confirming it opens up no additional resources. then we heard that this will actually

allow us to expedite and streamline the approval process for new facilities or services for homeless people. in fact when supervisors because announced this legislation, i'm reading from cbs reporting it says quote this a quote from the report, quote, the move would bypass redtape and opening additional navigation centers in the city-owned property. the statement that supervisor campos issue publicly talked about quote, allowing the city to take emergency action to build additional navigation centers on city-owned property.". grade maybe this legislation lastly allow us to act a little more quickly in addressing the problem. then, the amendment that supervisor yee offered in committee and supervisor campos accepted to the extent the original legislation would've actually accelerated anything

supervisor campos accepted an amendment the complete contradicted negated exactly that. this is not just about clarifying this amendment was not about clarifying that the public will have input. i will read it. in adopting this declaration the board of supervisors does not this suspend wade or the promise of any applicable city laws regulating the process for selecting and developing sites for public facilities to be used as emergency housing pursuant to this declaration. further the board does not suspend the wave or otherwise limits the requirements of any applicable city law providing for public notification community outreach in our public input as part of that process. to be clear i'm not in any way criticizing supervisor yee for proposing this amendment. it does completely contradict the announcement we've heard publicly when this legislation was introduced. if this was gimmick it faster and more efficient and streamlined in

this emergency were declaring to site new navigation centers or other kinds of facilities. this legislation doesn't do a thing. we need to focus on actually addressing these problems and if we pass legislation that says the public we are declaring a shelter emergency, the public understandably may think this is going to do something this is not going to do anything. as tempting as it was to support this as much as i want to support it, i can supported because i think it completely misleads the public. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor mar >> supervisor mar: i need to get my $.02 and if i was a supervisors because they can evolve by the goodies address an issue that came up during super bowl l is unfortunate things were made want to push the homeless out of super bowl l area but also as division street was cleared i think that supervisor campos is doing so the coefficient on homelessness is a doing a multiservice

centers and addressing a serious price. start about rock 'n roll pushing different groups out. we know there and all of our neighborhoods. i'm lucky to work with park presidio united presbyterian church my own district and oh 37 different sites identified i know some of them have nothing communicate with my office door doing our best to work with churches not only public properties but also with churches and nonprofits that are concerned about humanity of people who live without homes. there are many of them from needing lives on california and 7th avenue many us visit often to see if she's okay or main are migrant lives on function and clement street the people from our community and they need support it clearly the coalition on homelessness is said that the shelter system doesn't have enough support. there's a lot of the rigidity of rules that goes through and i think the navigation center model which emerged out of the idaho sears and not something

brand-new for our city but should be considered for different public facilities and other spaces that we should be looking at white. 80 which aims temporally could i plotted supervisors because for raising awareness every 180 days travis, so that were not shoving it under the rug and uttering like a mole with addressing a crisis. thank you for taking the bull by the ones with the coalition on homelessness and others to try to move forward with real solutions for sid. thank you. >> president breed thank you. supervisor cohen see no other names on the roster, madam clerk on this item. these call the roll because item 20 supervisor campos the eye, cohen aye, farrell nay, kim aye, mar aye, peskin absent,

>> supervisor cohen: today, colleagues, i want to ask that we close this board meeting in memory of a woman when kevin and patricia armstrong watkins. patricia passed away unexpectedly friday friday, march 1 friday, march 1, 2016 at the age of 71. she was born in new orleans louisiana. i move move to the san francisco bayview hunters point in 1945. she was a retired employee of bank of america and a dedicated genealogist and family historian. she was a loving mother to chronicle hodges watkins and the tosha watkins lowery and survived by 5 grandchildren and great-grandchildren. mdm. pres. m a motion we close out the entire board meeting in honor of ms. patricia armstrong watkins

>> president breed colleagues can we take this without objection? without objection will close out the board meeting on behalf of the entire board. >>[gavel] >> president breed >> supervisor cohen the other thing i want talk about supervisors and i breed will be issuing a statement regarding recent reveal text messages i sfpd officers. it's an interesting position here we are barely a year since the last time we issued a joint statement about the racist and homophobic text messages exchanged by sfpd officers and in that short period of time we have witnessed a tragic shooting in the death of mariel woods which is once more full investigations. we've also seen the death of amicar perez lopez

and now ask the xo. clearly, there is a considerable amount of work that needs to be done. you've heard today in lot of discussion around homeless issues. i like to see more discussion around outrage around our law enforcement officers and i like to see more reform been put forward. my question is when is enough enough? when are we going to get tired of the same narrative? last night bayview captain contacted me. there was a shooting in supervisor campos as district and a border area we should. at silver and san bruno ave. another african american male shot in the head. dead. earlier today was another shooting at and ill plaza. i don't want to

conflate the 2 issues because they are separate. in terms of what is precipitating this violence. but, i do want to call into question that we have a responsibility as elected leaders to ensure that those that are sworn to protect and serve will continue to protect and serve. again, i don't take the statement lately and i want to acknowledge those members of law enforcement to take their job seriously and executed duties to the highest and fullest level of integrity. thank you. but, to those numbers that are part of the law-enforcement that are sending and continuing and condoning and worse, turning a blind eye to the text messages of a homophobic racist or even sexist nature, you're just as guilty who initiated these messages. i want to stand

firmly with pres. breed as well as the mayors office as well as the chief of police are all in discussion and were all working very diligently begin to change the culture within law enforcement. i urge my colleagues here to heart of this discussion supervisor campos and avalos have been instrumental in pushing the agenda for 4 new policy on use of force.. but we need to do more of is also spent some time in discussion around diversity and bias training in ensuring our officers patrolling our streets are culturally competent and that they are able to develop a rapport with the community they're policing. i also want to emphasize the need for data collection to ensure that we are supporting and creating garments whether independent and transparent investigations and that we are

recruiting officers that will continue to fight for-to fight to protect and defend our constituency here in san francisco. so, i want to put a message out to the police commission as well as to the chief of police, to encourage them to strongly to seek the fullest possible disciplinary action the officers involved in the most recent heinous actions . i'm putting my support to the mayors office as well as the department as well as to the community and the stakeholders. to create an action plan to ensure that we are preventing these incidents from ever happening again. they do began breed >> clerk: thank you. supervisor farrell. submit kim submit supervisor mar

requirements. i've had a number of conversations now with members of our state legislative delegation, sen. leno, a summary member david chiu and phil tang and hopeful that press san francisco county, which has led the state in affordable housing reduction can be treated differently than the other 57 counties and 481 cities across california. to give you a quick stop shut the last regional housing assessment cycle document that san francisco had contributed 7604 from the affordable low and moderate income new housing units and 13,000 from the affordable low and moderate income new housing units and 13,391 about moderate income new housing units. today, there are couple of assembly bills 82 501 nab 2522 about both of them

well intended as intervention tools for statewide applications personally i don't believe it appropriate fit for us here in san francisco. we fully understand the challenge with local jurisdictions unfriendly to affordable housing but we have developed here a tool locally that should be allowed to stand on its own. so, i look forward to having that resolution before all of us for a vote on next tuesday. i am also requesting department of building inspections provide a best estimate by may 1 of the concept and scope of the citywide physical assessment of our remaining single resident occupancy housing stock, which is dropped precipitously from some 33,000 units in the 1970s to less than 20,000 units today. in addition, i'm delighted to have cosponsorship of almost every single member of this board of supervisors in renaming james place that we

just voted on first reading to vacate adjacent to the chinese hospital on jackson street and that piece of legislation is to rename james ally after the matriarch of chinatown and longtime stalwart supporter of the chinese hospital rebuild the one and only those pack. thank you all for your cosponsorship. i'm only sorry that she will not be here for the store moment on april 18 when the hospital is open. i also want to say that congratulations on that incredible project. it's extended to many many individuals, members of the board of the chinese hospital, brenda yee who's the executive director to her many staff, doctors, nurses and of course

to the thousands of individuals corporations, and others who've contributed to a capital campaign in excess of $160 million. carly, i neglected to say before, that the reason for this street vacation is because there are actually subterranean water cisterns for emergencies underneath that and so those need to be under the control of the hospital but that ally soon hopefully to be those pack way or rose packs away is going to remain open space and we maintained by the chinese hospital that open space requirements will be a condition of the deed. finally, i would like to adjourn today today's meeting in the memory of jack russell stores, the father of our city surveyor bruce stores. that concludes my rollcall >> clerk: thank you. supervisor yee

>> supervisor yee: i just wanted to thank my colleague supervisor peskin for bringing this resolution to rename james place to rose packs way. from i probably mentioned this before. i'm probably the only supervisor that was born in chinese hospital, i think. if somebody was born there then let me know. it means a lot to me. not just to me but to the community and what i was working at a nonprofit at the time in 1979 or late 70s and it was announced that the chinese hospital was going to close i was so disappointed and then there was announcement this person those pack is going to try to save it in the late 70s

they told me the price tagged there's no reason for me to believe that one person is going to be able to do this. the community wasn't too sure they were going to do it. this one person says, yes, we are going to do this. but when the ot did it. after many years but it's been done and i can't think of a single person who mobilized the whole community to raise that amount of money and were not talking about a big donor ligand doing or there will say i write a big check and will save it. it's basically a person that was a community activist that believed in the caused and i've got to give her a lot of credit. we just renaming this particular james place to her name is just a small token of

at least my appreciation. so thank you very much supervisor peskin. >> clerk: bt thank you. supervisor avalos. submit supervisor breed >> president breed: i have a couple of items. i want to thank supervisor cohen for collaborating with me on trying to address a number of issues with the san francisco police department. we clearly have a lot of work to do and i appreciate the support that supervisor peskin has also given to help this address this issue. we are going to be keeping our eyes on this look forward to bringing forth legislation that we think can hopefully hope to continue to address some of the challenges that process with the department. when is enough enough is now enough is enough. any time there is anything
