2:45 pm
because so which of our colleagues have contributed their thoughts about you ms. hayward started with the city and county of san francisco of 2006 working in the planning department and managed many challenging projects and worked collaboratively to incorporate preservation policies providing a balanced approach to preservation and further the preservation goals then in march of 2011 ms. hayward transferred herself into a legislative planner for the planning department issues from the calculated and technical that is formula retail and housing to more things like tobacco and paraphernalia and bowling alleys that serve alcohol and ms. hayward will be recommended from her high degree of professionalism in a articulate
2:46 pm
manner and often a friendly attitude in her interactions with the public and staff and ms. hayward has developed a drive to address the city's most perplexing issues that brought her to the mayor's office of housing and community development and there she was structural in furthering the work of mohcd including facilitating the rental assistance program and hope sf ax open acting a lesson between the department and board of supervisors on the ahbp to the housing policies have impacted the lives of san franciscans and her enthusiasm in tackling the ordinances will be dearly missed on a personal level i've come to
2:47 pm
know sophie and a motto planning to mohcd and just watching her and working with her as we tackled difficult issues in san francisco has been an honor to work with you the way you oversee to me an e-mail at 10 o'clock at noting night with a thoeft an urban wavering determination to handle things people through at you i'm sad to see you leave city government when people think of city workers sometimes they're might not be the most positive perspective but you break troubleshoot stereotyped to determine and finding creative
2:48 pm
solutions to challenges i'm going to a miss you but wish you the best so thank you very much ms. hayward and looking forward to giving you the opportunity to speak i know you have a friends and family your sister and, of course, your colleagues if both departments and director from mohcd and director rahaim from the planning department i want to give you an opportunity to say a few words thank you. >> and also there are other members of the board of supervisors that definitely would like an opportunity to make comments as well director rahaim thank you for being here. >> thank you supervisors and supervisor tang for honoring sophie you'll miss her terrible she started as a preservation planner and went on to do legislative work that work with peeked here interest in
2:49 pm
affordable housing so i then lost her to olsen unfortunately but i think that the proclamation said it well, she's handled the work with the thoughtfulness and the word to describe her, her grace in handing the issues in terms of dealing with the planning commission and the public this body handling it thoroughly throughout the period we'll all mess that terribly and sophie is one of the reasons the two agencies the planning department and mohcd has an incredibly positive and constructive working relationship probably a testament how departments work together a seamless relationship and, of course, enabled by director lee and kate hartley and others that relationship between sophie and our staff has been preview and helpful in the
2:50 pm
work and a model how agencies work together i appreciate the conformation and recognize sophie for our outstanding work. >> thank you, mr. lee. >> welcome. >> thank you what can we say. >> what did you do to chase her away (laughter) just a workload i can return the - >> (laughter). oh, >> fair enough one of the things that i think everybody really appreciate about sophie and one of her dedications to the city; right? she's to dedicated to do the right thing and push things along to get things done and she's demonstrated that with the planning department and definitely at the mayor's office
2:51 pm
of housing and community development we - she worked on many issues where they were very difficult issues with people that were very, very industry dents on each side of the issues one of her robots so listen to both sides and see if there's an ability to come to a solution somewhere in the middle and in many she was able to do that and helped to get the legislation through at the state level and also working with our federal delegation with the federal version of the neighborhood preference and it is really a testament to her ability to work with people i think that you know one of the things no one has skewed me of
2:52 pm
doing well sophie has done that extremely well, in the city a reflection how she will be remembered she'll be remembered as a fear and compassionate and a person that licenses to everybody and none will say a bad word about sophie a great loss for you office we we've got a lot more work to do and sophie was an important person and completing that work and we will greatly miss her and the work she did but greatly mess how she did her work that's the thing i want to say more importantly to sophie the way you carried yourself and the professionalism and the personal safety and dealing with all the difficult issues thank you sophie for your time in the

2:55 pm
city so we can all get on the same page for this issue. >> thank you supervisor cowen. >> thank you sophie i hope when you walk out of the doors of city hall today, you'll be able to walk back with a sense of pride with a profound not only providence work experience but walking away with an ally of friends to move forward i'm sure our paths will cross again many of the people that doesn't know sophie know there is a genuine sweetness and a real commitment to honor the truth and recognize human decency within everyone folks she founds herself in disagreement that's a rare find
2:56 pm

3:20 pm
this point the placing has approved this property and increased in size and scope compared to the property in 2008, and it is now a 44 unit building that is 7 stories tall and it is suspicious that a 44 unit building 7 stories high that is increases in scope not required per the placing not requiring an eir they in fact, approved this permit and there are 4 basis for the eir of denying the eir assuming there shouldn't be would be and the conclusion no possible significant effect and that just can't be so what i ask is this board reject this map send this back to the planning commission and ask them to have the proposed owners of this property conduct an i went
3:21 pm
for the property that is significant i mean - thank you, supervisors. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon your honor i'm the proprietor of that property that was bring to your attention that the other reason the board of supervisors approved that project they were led to believe that the real estate developers rose if london have cut a deal with myself and agreed to accepting sell them the property brought to your attention this is untrhat's all i have to say. >> any other members of the public just to be clear the appeal is withdrawn the board will not be entertaining this particular appeal with that, public comment is closed. and there has a been a motion
3:22 pm
and second to table colleagues without objection, without objection this item has been building table. >> all right the next 3:00 p.m. special order. >> with the motion approved in 2016 the board of supervisors has agreed to queen a committee as a whole for a subject of item 43 a resolution of necessity authorizing the necessity of the real property on galvin avenue by eminent domain for the business of completing and constructing the shops relocation. >> the purpose to hear the testimony on a resolution of the necessity authorizing the acquisition at the real property at 1919 avenue by eminent domain for the public purpose of
3:23 pm
constructing the central relocation would any supervisors like to make a comment. >> supervisor peskin. >> i understand the need for the acquisition of this property and thinks that the motion carries of him leader has been running at the second board meeting owe attended when i was re-elected on december 15th the purchase of this property came brat board and you recall i while i voted for that i raised concerns about the fact this was an acquisition of real property without the benefit of an appraisal of the property and was as you recall based on a number of capriciously sales that were procured by the
3:24 pm
department of real estate but i don't feel comfortable by the way, they were listing of the properties pdrs properties in the southeast corner of the city like i said a listing is not a sale make and compatible sales don't an appraisal make i understand the urgent needs to acquire at this time, the real estate and the city merchants office and the public works knew they were buying a piece of property to a lease that can be extended i'm remarkably disappointed we're you here a year later this has not been resolved the lease was stechld to a value of $200,000 now looks
3:25 pm
like a $1.2 million cost to the puc and i just have to express this is not okay. if this was in the private sector and somebody estimated $200,000 and came in 6 times that much i mean not good enough for government and the private sector i have to express someone needs to say it how disappointed i am that million two should have been a deduction from the purchase price we should have bought that property for 3 housing unit 8 or whatever but be compatible sales that shows a square foot value that maybe higher than the condemnation of the lease but it is no way to run a railroad or a public utility i had to say that
3:26 pm
for the record. >> thank you supervisor peskin for your opening remarks. >> supervisor cowen. >> i find the city in the quagmire often we have a resolution it allows the city to exercise eminent domain for 1975 galvin that ultimately allows the sfpuc to complete and construct central shop projects central shop an intralg integral part of city government function helps us to do our job getting to and from and the frustration for me how sloppy i think that particular project has been handled
3:27 pm
supervisor peskin talked about approval and purpose order and the amount of the property and how it is ballooned do we - not engage because the real estate division didn't conduct an appraisal of the property or not engaged because the price was compatible to other industrial parks properties when, in fact, it wasn't this was a beggar problem and don't know in john updyke is here but really want to encourage the department to tighten it up i think that it is misrepresenting our tings as city officials but also misrepresenting the
3:28 pm
establishment of a world-class city like san francisco we should have honor and integrity in everything that we do when people are paying attention or not paying attention from the largest issues to the commission on the status of women smallest details to ever dollars figure let's not forgot we're talking about taxpayers dollars discussing those options thank you. >> thank you supervisor cowen and just to be clear mr. updyke will be doing a presentation and wanted to make sure that the members of the board have an opportunity for opening remarks supervisor peskin. >> i neglected to say one thing that is, i do want to say for the record that mr. updyke and the reality division were
3:29 pm
cooperative and better to be safe than sorry we did chapter 23 of the administrative code so going forward appraisals of the acquisitions of real property are legal requirements we fixed that and want to acknowledge that mr. updyke and his staff were helpful in writing chapter 23. >> and at this time seeing no other names on the roster, mr. updyke please present the item or the appropriate staff person. >> thank you, supervisor breed john updyke director of real estate i'm joined we bryan of the city attorney's office happy to answer. >> yes. questions one thing i want to say about the appraisal issue in a way this most portfolio for the blue line
3:30 pm
registration validated the acquisitions price may have been more advantageous an ironic twist we reject not having the full information at the time of the item in december of 2015 but unfortunately, the speed at which the transaction needed to move forward to secure the property from the fee landowner forced us to move at a greater pace than we normally would with respect to the property at issue blue line rental on the companies effected they have one and 40 locations throughout the united states blue line was an
3:31 pm
entity and spun off into their corporate by this is a company owned not franchised and employees that worked at the site we're not sure of they're residents not information that is to be disclosed this facilitates us keeping over 80 central shops and employees in the neighborhoods we have two blocks away from the location he think outside the box as positive outcome for this neighborhood and in this area. >> finally this so forth a process bryan can speak to that about the eminent domain process still ahead and how that gets resolved this begins a more formal process following the negotiations, which lasted throughout the spring and summer
3:32 pm
sins the closing of escrows in march of 2016 we were unable to come to an agreement with blue line with the purchase and that is a step we must take to move forward. >> so thaitsz okay just to be clear we are in a committee as a whole on this particular item and at this time seeing no other names on the roster, we will open this up to public testimony specifically on this item anyone wish to comment to make comments on this particular item please come forward seeing none, public comment is closed. all right. colleagues would anyone like to make any final comments. >> this hearing has been held
3:33 pm
and is now closed we'll now reconvene as is board of supervisors for item 43. >> madam clerk on item 43 can you please call the roll. >> supervisor mar supervisor peskin no. >> supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed no supervisor campos supervisor cowen supervisor farrell supervisor kim there are 9 i's and two nos with supervisor peskin and supervisor breed in dissent the resolution is adapted all right. roll call for introduction. >> supervisor mar your first up to introduce new business. >> thank you.

3:40 pm
office together for so long and as life works sometimes pretty amazing people have bad things that happen to them he had something in the family a traffic passing of his sister so today, i'm going to do an in memoriam for his sister she passed away at her home in san jose on november 20th, 2016, her children a young sister, and brother other relatives and her best friend with there with her as they made her transition and her farther siren placed softly in the background she would have
3:41 pm
been 85 years old in 2017 she was married for more than 50 years and had 5 children. (calling names) as long as jerry she greatly loved they are children and very proud of them as they say nowadays they never gave her any trouble she was the oldest of 7 children with two older brothers that died as - an older half brother and several grandchildren and others that called her a dearly name she was always oh, you something
3:42 pm
to eat and often placed others before herself she have a funny side to her as one of her granddaughters said who else would pass by a cemetery and a nice place to have a picnic so today with sadness we offer our condolence to the family and do on in memoriam of her on behalf of her loving families that will always love her. >> the second item colleagues is a very personal item to me and it's hard to sort of talk about that budget supplemental in a personal way picture it is a very personal thing for me as
3:43 pm
you may have heard we've been working with public defender's office jeff adachi and his incredible staff on a supplemental appropriation i'm officially introducing today, i want to thank my incredible staff, carlene (calling names) who has been working on this with me and thank you jeff adachi and his incredible staff (calling names) and the incredible group of lawyers and advocates that have been part of this but for me that is personal that was a 1985 on a cold night in january that as a 14-year-old kid i was crossing the bards
3:44 pm
with any mom and two little sisters and said this story before but that is eary and scary to think about how my family and i came to this country in 1985 escaping graham to find ourselves electing donald trump as president. >> and one of the proud itself when i shared a moment not too many days ago in the rotunda of this building proud to stand with mayor ed lee and my colleagues as supervisors sending a clear message and a
3:45 pm
deliberate message now withstanding when the president elect principled in terms of the deportation and taking away the money if sanctuary cities like san francisco time to send a clear message we will remain a sanctuary that notwithstanding the threat of taking away our federal funding i'm proud of that moment and i give credit to mayor ed lee he didn't have to do that i talked about how when i became a supervisor in 2008, i started my tenure as a member of the board of supervisors fighting efforts by then mayor gavin newsom to weaken sanctuary by taking away the right of due diligence of undocumented
3:46 pm
children and self-defense great that in contrast that then mayor numbing was trying to do to have - what we're proposing is an extension of the action that board and the mayor took when we stood inside underneath the rotunda of city hall when we said we're a sanctuary what this action does it allows us to actually take the first concrete step to making sure when we say we're a sanctuary we mean that is it is one thing to say but taking steps to make that happen this is a proposal that will create universal recommendation for immigrants in the city and county of san francisco and let me be clear
3:47 pm
when we talked about undocumented people into our 40, 44 thousand illuminated e undocumented undocumented not just latinos we're talking about yet 40 percent of the undocumented are of latino descents but people of other ethnicities more than 40 percent are asian the largest number by the way, 11 thousands of that 44 thousand are people from mexico but the second largest number ten thousands are people that come from china so when we talk about undocumented immigration an issue that transcends ethic identify and why is this so critical to being a sanctuary if
3:48 pm
you do not provide legal recommendation to the 44 thousand people including a couple of thousand already in the proceedings what you are basically doing is making sanctuary as a concept meaningless unless we take the step of getting ready for the duo portion - before trump becomes president bet we act it will be two late people will be deported donald trump said that 3 million poem with criminal backgrounds will be deported this insures that the thousand of people in detention proceeding get the legal recommendation they need to make sure that their rights are
3:49 pm
electricity this proposal includes a role for the public defender's office and for community-based organizations and the $5 million that are asked for on a calendar year half of that goes to the public defender's office and someone asked why the public defender's office we're asking about criminal procedures that requires lawyers expertise and the model we're following is not a new model a model that has worked in the city of new york following that model from new york we have saying let's ask the public defender's office who are experts in criminal procedures to actually represent the people that are in detention and for the remainder where you have people hearsay of people that are in immigration preceding ask the other experts
3:50 pm
the lawyers that are working with goes to actually do that work and let's allow the public defender's office to hire 10 new lawyers and allow the goes to hire additional lawyers so they can do their work why is that important now? i mean, the numbers are there thousand of people with detention and hundreds of people in preceding but actually personal and not just undocumented people that will benefit from this the hardest moment for me after trump was elected hearing from any sister who talked about any nephew who is american born but said mom are we mexican because we're guatemala
3:51 pm
>> she said why. >> he said trump said their duo that concludes my report. mexicans is thyou guatemala. >> my in view of wants to know will we be deported getting ready now before the presidency begins we are sending a message to little can i see like my nephew regardless of your immigration status you have certain right this come by virtue of the united states constitution and that those rights are going to be protected and electricity
3:52 pm
anywhere in san francisco this is critical and important people say why not wait who know what they'll do we already know what they'll know they said what i'll do they're going to begin the process of deporting millions of people we need to act now before the presidency of this individual begins so the had 4 thousand people that go to work with the morning knowing at a minimum they'll have a lawyer that will protect their voting rights so the thousand of kids that may not be undocumented themselves but perhaps the son or daughter of someone that is undocumented knows that when their parents take the tool they'll be back to pick up them they'll have a lawyer to make
3:53 pm
sure their voting rights mean something i will end with that we've had many fights and differences but one of of the there's a silver lining to donald trump becoming president is that it actually provides some perspective not to minimize the differences we have and god knows i have my differences with the mayor and differences with the members of the board of supervisors on many important issues but on this we have to continue the unity we began and you have my commitment that we want to work together with this mayor we want to work together with that board i've spoken to supervisor president london breed i know is committed to making sure that is done in a way that is a unifying
3:54 pm
effort you have my commitment you have the commitment of this community that is here and with that, i want to ask if i want people to know this is so for the folks from the community who are in the chamber to support this effort if you'reably to please stand the rest the country the rest of the world is watching and let san francisco as we did a few days back continue to be the leading voice that says people matter our values matter. >> and no punt intended we are not going to have any one trump the values that make us who we
3:55 pm
are thank you, supervisor kim thank you supervisor mar thank you supervisor avalos for your co-sponsorship let's get behind the effort thank you very much the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor campos. >> supervisor cowen. >> how do i follow that. >> thank you supervisor campos for that sobering reality and heartfelt reminder that to why we serve and more importantly whom we serve i submit thank you. >> i submit ma'am. >> thank you supervisor cowen supervisor farrell's. >> thank you, supervisors i have an millennium wanted to adjourn a district 2 with the
