i know his work very very hard on this in a big thank you to jed for discovering this situation. in listening to the other speakers, i'm speaking in terms of the healing that this act is going to do. we've talked about the healing of the earth's water. it's not a groundbreaking act you are doing good into ground healing act you're doing. i attended california air resources board hearing about a month ago on amendment to the raid will. at that meeting, the center for waste poverty in the environment brought 3740 people from current county live among those oilfields but i don't avail of your oilfields but they live on the oil fields and their suffering extreme health problems. if unbelievable rates of cancer and rates of lung disease among the children. so
11:41 am
i want you to know that in this act as i assume you are going to do, is passed this ordinance unanimously. you will be healing people, the earth and the water and that is far more important than the financial penciling out of the project but i'm very happy to see that, too and we always knew this was going to happen. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hi. mime alayna angle with 350 san francisco annamae citizen and voter in san francisco. so much has already been said so i won't repeat it. i would just say that when the voters voted for clean power sf they made their voices heard really clearly. we want noble energy. we want clean energy. we do not want fossil fuels. we know that would destroy our planet. i urge you to do the right thing and just continue with the will of the voters of san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> kathleen ramos 350 bay area
11:42 am
and i feel actions and measures like this are so important that the state and local level since federal government is virtually paralyzed and in thrall to the corporate lobbies and fossil fuel energy. so these things coming from the state and local are so important. i have a poster i taken around two dollars at the lead outside of course but a couple of things that i think are just critical for california of course besides the devastating effects of tracking everywhere, is racking and drought country are you kidding me? 100,000 gallons or more or less of water to track one well. the water is then useless chemicals that go into our groundwater. tracking and earthquakes country? are
11:43 am
you kidding me? i met a guy on the bus and he saw me my poster which was cool these from oklahoma. oklahoma, as you know is is hundreds of earthquakes which are attributable to the flocking. oklahoma is taking action. they told me to oklahoma to think of them as being particularly progressive print i big oil pro regulation but getting them where they live. so it's only no california is not take a second seat to oklahoma in this that thank you supervisor avalos for bringing this forward. >> good morning everyone. my name is chris cox began here as an individual resident of davis california. i would like to commend chairman farrell and the other members of the committee for taking this important step to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and bring us closer to a trajectory that will bring us on the 2° scenario. at the same time i think it's really important we address the elephant in the room which is scrabble
11:44 am
transport in the city according to the bay area air quality management district transportation account is the largest was a greenhouse gas emissions accounting for 40% of all emissions in the bijan. i think of supervisors really want to take a leadership role in climate change it's important we address this. i think there's two key action. one is that we need a radical change in the land-use policy in the city that we need to allow the developer to more affordable housing near transit to the people can live close to their work. they can walk and bike to the workplaces and places of school. instead of having to drive in from the far-flung stretches of the region. second, i think we need to do a lot more to make it easier for people to walk cycle, use transparent need to reallocate or road space to public transport into nonmotorized transport. we need to redouble the efforts on the bus rapid transit project which is been moving but moving very slowly. i think if we really address these issues then
11:45 am
the city can take a much better leadership role. thank you >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> hello. chairman farrell and members of the board. my name is daisy-a resident of san francisco i'm speaking in support of this measure. think you for your courageous leadership in really leading the nation and our state in trying to keep our fossil fuel reserves in the ground. as others have alluded to, we need to keep 50% fall of our oil 9% of the remaining coal in the ground in the united states and were to me are 2° global warming target. that must begin with oscar so i'm very glad to see this moving forward. in addition to the climate reasons to keep fossil fuels in the ground, as others have alluded to, is also very strong health imperative. up until last week i was working for an organization called physician
11:46 am
scientists and engineers for healthy energy. i myself have a masters of science in energy in land use. the community in current county are suffering from a lot of pollution because of the oil and gas developed in the region. recent data released by chevron for an investigation looking at the reuse of oilfield produced water which is being used to irrigate agricultural crops right now in the region, reveals there are dozens if not hundreds of chemicals that are put into wells causes of whether their fractal and appeared we'll production and dozens of these chemicals around the prop 65 artists and agents. these are getting into our water supply but these are getting into people's bodies and their ashley getting onto our crops now. we need to

11:49 am
becker. i'm the cochairman of the san francisco sparrow and devil i like to echo the sentiments everybody said here already. the position of the bernie kratz is the economic value or potential value of the oil in the fields is round 300 $20,000 per year. san francisco is a very wealthy and progressive community we control budget of nearly i'm sorry-$10 billion per year. this money regardless of whether we are able to convert it into solar power is trivial to our expenses and we should follow our hearts. thank you. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public would like to comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> public comment is now closed >>[gavel] >> numbers i do have a member
11:50 am
symbol for this legislation it just some cleanup language on page 3, line 19 changing carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide and we added some language that discusses a just transition and including varmints oh cleanup making sure that this inspection to ensure that obama the cleanup is carried out including report on the value of the property as a habitat potential for restoration. the other part is around creating transition plan and asking the san francisco public utilities commission submit to the board of supervisors with that plan would look like for the property. those are the main parts that were added and would like to request that we motion to accept >> with that does this have to sit for a week? b was i don't believe it does, no >> okay. supervisor tang spews all make a motion to adopt those amendment. he was moved and seconded.
11:51 am
>> moved and seconded. will take these memos without objection >>[gavel] >> one question i know that was an exception in this legislation for the permits for example if there's an elusive jurisdiction department and if for example this ordinance would make them violate the charter or their ability to carry out their function under the charter to we have departments that would fall under this exception? reynaud to the chair to supervisor avalos? >> let's ask the city attorney spews deputy city attorney john gibner. they're certain the permits that have jurisdictioni think we have to work out whether any given situation if at some point in the future qc wanted to extract fossil fuel on the property with her that would actually-whether complying with the ordinance would undermine their charter authority. i'm not sure the circumstances that would cause us to say, you don't have to
11:52 am
file the ordinance but it probably depends on the time >> so qc am curious whether other examples so department would seek an exemption? are there any others? >> i would not know >> the port has inclusive authority over this party the mta has exclusive 40 over its property. the reason we included this provision in the ordinance is that when we are regulating the use of property in this way we try to be
11:53 am
explicit that they are just some places where the board cannot legislate. we're it is really up to that the commission would exclude the control and we wanted to be clear about that in the ordinance. >> okay. i hope from a policy perspective these departments will understand we sorely don't want them to engage in extracting fossil fuels even if they have authority >> i can imagine our department doing a bit might happen in a post-apollo apocalyptic road work habits and arab and hopefully that will never happen. >>[laughing] >> mr. update >> i can top that supervisor avalos but yes, we did look at all the county as is not only to look at existing operations but potentially updates. we do not under the file proper the fall under this category with the extraction. as you know we do have some quarry mining efforts within the puc's out of county acids but i don't see that is in conflict with this issue and actually if you recall, the amendment to those leases were actually very favorable relative to being sensitive to climate action plan. so i don't think we see an existing conflict and as deputy city attorney mentioned, highly unlikely in the future.
11:54 am
>> good question. >> thank you >> okay. >> great. supervisor tang thank you for cosponsorship adding her name here again and again i want to the governments of the public for coming today and for your work in helping to advance this legislate. vertically want to thank jed holtzman from 350 p fan in bay area for your work and of course germy pollock in my office with done an outstanding job shepherding this through. these past few months. mr. updike, thank you and without colleagues, i would love to have your support. >> thank you supervisor avalos and if you would add me as a cosponsor as well that would be great colleagues, emotion bequest >> make a motion to passes to the board with full recordation >> moved and seconded. we can take it without objection. thanks everyone >>[gavel] >> cap in the was mdm. clerk
