commission as a living document an ordinance that will be revisited that i urge the city to look at the baseline for the parking right now it is 13 points for the first 20 parishes and go up one point i'm going to get into the weeds this is market octavia you've got thousands of new parking spaces coming in here and i don't on the planning department if you look at the eir for example, for one oak understand this generates car trips to the 101 ramp to the south bay the methods right now are not picking up they're old methods used in transportation analysis that really underestimating the impact of this parking space so

i think instead of one point for each additional 10 parking spaces it should be 5 and doing everything we can to discourage excess parking and also ask questions what were the 3 projects that would have gotten through with the warriors eastern i know there was another 1 16th stre 1 16th street potraro. >> i've been here several times talking about the transportation demand management last meeting we spent a lot of time with the planning and talking about this to family-friendly housing thank you, supervisors for encouraging staff to continue to work on the plan and thank you to the staff

and recent activities in the legislation we're pleased to enforce the amendment before you with the ultimate tdm plan thanks so much. >> all right. >> next speaker. >> thank you, supervisors thank you for the opportunity to speak my name is megan i'm the director of the program on health and equity with the department of health i'm happy to be here to support the transportation demand management ordinance and program standards for the potential impact on health in san francisco many years you've program works to productive the air quality and safety and active dpw health plan i'm chief executive officer reducing the fees is essentially, we building the tdm program will be an important

part and housing jobs estimated more than 6 hundred thousand cars will be added to the streets if we remain status quo this the congestion and a significant reduction of quality of life more people will be killed more on the public transportation will decline it is essential to reduce the cars with support in helping with the walking and biking the tdm is a smart approach by providing great credit for intervention and reducing parking and shuttle services we appreciate the flexibility of the program construction that will allow for judgements and standards on best practices we pleased to see built in monitoring as the tdm lacks oversight we understand the policies are important to insure those health benefits to the resident are reflected in

the next generation in conclusion we believe the policies consistent are key to meeting the air quality and transportation we support the tdm ordinance and program and look forward to ongoing collaboration with the planning department and other agencies to advance those who work and live in the city thank you for your k. >> thank you. i'm with the san francisco human services and in appreciation with the nonprofits we had been expressing some concerns about this ordinance for about a year particularly it's impact on city's funded providers that serve the disadvantaged resident and thankful for the opportunity to work with the supervisor cohen and commissioner peskin and

sfmta and planning department and hope the amendment to address the largest of those concerns for public understanding those developments are different from other developments they generate far fewer vehicle miles traveled we work with community-based organizations serving the low income populations that walk and take transit and not increase the costs are barriers to developments that will address the crisis of nonprofits displacement we have been faced over the last several years and especially concerned about parking spaces that are department of the emergency management for city funded services like shuttles for seniors and people with disabilities those doesn't matter what incentives they're still not any reduction in vehicle miles traveled doesn't make sense it will there the

cost to the developers we will asked for a few exemption for the nonprofit and exemption for those parking spaces we hope overseeing amendments will be accepted today and by the full board and again, thank you for working with us on this issue. >> next speaker, please. >> calvin wench a steering committee member and with the hours organizations i'd like to associate myself with the racks of ms. learner and ask you to adopt waving the fee for city funded health and service nonprofits i'd like to also address and thank first of all, commissioner cowen's and others for supporting the exemption of

permanently 100 percent affordable housing developments from the traffic math plan i believe there is a consistency if that exemption the exemption language defined affordable housing up to one and 50 percent of medium no other jurisdictions in the area independence affordability a lot of one and 20 percent above medium this seems like to be an oversight clearly i'll hope that b-1 section 169.3 on page 8 percent would be amended to see one and 20 percent of medium which will be consistent with the findings of within the document that is found on page of 169.1 which defines affordable housing as welder and 20 percent of medium

and studies that shows quote household earning more than one and 20 percent of medium drive more than twice as many miles and own more than twice as many vehicles as extremely low income household as thirty percent of medium is seems odd to find in a transit reduction program affordability at a level in which you are giving household that drive cars more heavily than otherwise i urge you to amend the ordinance thank you. >> thank you in depth. >> game-changer chair cohen and commissioners i'm nicole the executive director of walk sf on behalf of the walk sf and members we want to share our support for the tdm ordinance and urge to move forward with approval by the board last friday marked the inauguration

of the most powerful person in the country that believes is climatic change is a hoax and will dismantle the process on public health department i along with you marched an saturday to demonstrate we'll not stand for going backwards and everyday for the next 4 years we are going to need to work at the local level to move climb friendly policies forward this ordinance does that by macro sustainable healthy the choice as you know walk is the most sustainable way to get around and the easiest on ways to experience with equipment it is also a critical pathway to taking trips every transit trips begins and ended with a walk

we'll be working with the planning department to strengthen the tdm program and working to incorporate complimentary legislation into this policy and with that, we will urge again, our support of this policy as it stands and hope that it move forward thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors corey smith on behalf of the housing coalition. here to support the transportation demand management proposal in front of you today asking the other departments and organizations in terms of the ordinances that were introduced with the ma'am, parking this is trick because we believe that less cars are better, more transportation is a better idea

and more walking at the same time our members prefer parking for their projects so it is a tricky balance i know that folks are trying to figure out the other aspect i want to encourage based on any comments - by the previous speaker to work on ways to implement this into the ordinance and appreciate that they are looking to find solutions that will appease owl stakeholder i support this bill today. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm with the community of housing organization first of all, i want to thank you for moving forward i think this is high time we began to really emphasis the direction of folks out of cars and using transportation affordable housing developers that is what our tenants do they

ride transit first, i want to support the words of deb r yes many of the tenants are clients of the organizations with h s n they don't drive to supportive services they take transit so i think that is certain to main that exemption for the fee organizations and we find ways of exempting the city organizations from this requirement the second thing i want to say i appreciate the work that the planning department has done with us to address the concerns around affordable housing as calvin mentioned it is interesting to see awhile finding is pointing out the critical need and the critical difference between housing that is affordable to folks under one hundred and 20 percent under

medium and i want to share a table done by jeff hopkins transform that shows that vehicle miles traveled by different income levels on the blue that you see there you see very low income and extremely low income and low income moderate that is folks up to one hundred and 80 percent area medium income and jumps to more one hundred and 80 percent area medium income so as you cancer the standards consider all the income levels under one hundred and 80 percent of area medium income in providing housing. >> thank you fernando >> next speaker. >> sue hester i've been vrd the eirs and commenting on them

for a long time that colors any testimony the planning department like eir and have enormous amounts of parking are portionly high dense cords speaking have been reading the eirs if you give a lot of parking at the initial time when you consider the project that will drive forever and we have to face a couple realities one we are developing a lot of housing in the corridor market and van ness and mission van ness as has a lot of park and two things have happened one is that we have a commute that is enormous and as the planning

department goes through rezoning central soma as they go to 15 hundred mission and 1 hundred market that is the same thing as 1 oak street they're making decisions they can't undo by policies like this if at the give the market-rate that will be a lot of people from san mateo county their commuters in reality you'll not be able to out change the project by doing a project process tdm we've had area plans adopted specifically from central soma and the eastern neighborhoods called for a new muni line they were never implemented so we do grant printing calling for additional muni from potraro and to south of market and don't do

these and putting too much market that's the context. >> thank you very much any other members that want to speak on item 3 seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you i wanted to give the planning department or probably the planning department is the most interesting department (laughter) i think to give feedback on some of the testimony from calvin's testimony from the ami level from one 50 to one hundred 20 so we're consistent >> with some of the other regions. >> the reason for the one hundred 50 that was used in the sustainability fee program there was a exception there are mobility a city program that will support the projects at that level the rest of the code

the gentleman is right the program for the housing up to one hundred and 20 percent we'll be fine with lower than one hundred and 20 percent we were you using the numbers from allocate part of sustainability fee program. >> so beginning from the other parts of code but not going - >> to put it in jeopardy. >> okay. thank you very much. >> okay so a couple of things colleagues, i want to i have several amendments i'd like to read into the record first, i'd like to change the grandfathering and phase in those to apply with the mraktsz and instead of the development application second i'd like to remove the requirement to present a complete tdm plan to reapplication and third i'd like to make a requirement of a one

year preemption analysis and report fourth i'd like to subject tdm standards to be in effect at the time of the application instead of the development project approval fifth suggest a change or amendment changing a clerical error are grupgs the electricity should be 10 benefits in the beds and exempting the building with 24 or less units from annual monitoring and enforcement fees and voluntarily update fees the 7 is exempting the nonprofit organizations to receive the funding from the city from paying development review ongoing monitoring fees and voluntary update fees and also

want to recognize that the tenacious leadership of debbie letterman you heard during her public comment there is some concerns from the nonprofit providers particular those that receive the city funding to provide those serviced and the concern about air their ability specifically many of the parking spaces and the facilities provide the city funded services i'm thinking meals of whole and meal delivery or transportation of clients as much as seniors and people with disabilities i do think we should subject those to the program and introduce the amendment for the spaces from the tdm standard and will find that it will find those - these in a document

circulated to you on page 6 line 19 and colleagues for clarity any other parking spaces with the nonprofits choose to implement in their facilities will be subject to tdm okay now the graham our police to any right pointed out another error i want to correct thank you supervisor peskin this is on page 6 that the legislation line 21 the full sentence reads start on line 19 as such comma the board of supervisors finds the spaces dedicated for the supervisors provided for human rights and service organizations should be included in the existence i'm going to change that from should be to shall, shall be excluded in the definition of parking space on

the definition of standards any questions i can take them up inner i believe commissioner cowen's you have an amendment. >> i agree with the commissioner kim's raised by members of the public and director rahaim poke to relate to the one hundred and 50 versus the one hundred and 20 on page 8 as well as the change you read into with the human services should to a shall i think as far as you, you as is department will reside over the program standards unless we get cranky and legislate them to you should to show a is good let me say that is obviously evolving thing and we've now had a number of hearings thereon or

there's been many cooks in the kitchen nobody so totally happy i agree with director brinkman this is flexible and will evolve this the dawn of this new pioneering system we'll continue to tweak it for all the staff that have tried to convince me this is the best thing sins spread i thank you for your adolescence and a consistent theme with those no disrespect for planning the enforcement quite frankly isn't one of your strong suits not a square foot this is a system that is prethd

with the dedicate i mean this is an age-old thing you guys need more enforcement staff but this theoretically comes with a source of funding for those staff and you've analyzed how many projects that employs to and how many projects that will likely do pounce of the market in the future and how many people you can hire with that said, one of the amendments that supervisor cohen has just suggested which is and there is some rational for it we'll actually done it in other areas this is relative to 24 or less units any big question is kind of a question more for the controller but maybe you guys see in as far as a flat fee of

one thousand bucks of property and exempting out the smaller properties what does this do for the resources for the ftes you'll not have enough funds to enforce it it falls flat on its face. >> thank you. do we have controller staff director rahaim take a stab. >> i totally understand the need i appreciate the question i know your concern i'll say that in the last 9 years we've tripled the staff so thanks to the support of this board i will say we're looking at it what we think is the number of projects in that size rank 24 units is a small percentage the total project subject to the ordinance that is doable within

the actual fiscal analysis not uncommon for the other forebodes for the subsidies of smaller ones done throughout the planning code and remember that the way this program is structured when we do the analysis you start with a base fee in a project goes beyond that we're able to charge time and materials i think there is a number of ways to do it i'm committed to have full-time staff committed to this. >> director rahaim any only concern is that first, it seems counterintuitive you'll charge the same unanimous fee as a 15 unit project i think that staff did a pretty good job of explaining why that was counterintuitive but make sense i don't want this sorry mta

you'll think i'm picking on you but i am for this to turn into a google bulb i bus at the beginning people say no, no, no cost recovery is a buck and myself went this don't make sense and after they sharply their pencils yeah, it is a lot higher this is a little bit different you have a captive audience of google or whatever and the kind of audience so i don't want to be in a position you come back in 6 months or year or even two years and say wow. now the 24 and under project has dropped out we have a wave the fee for the big projects to $2,800 a year i want to make sure you guys have crushed the numbers and the promise of real dedicated staff

particularly this economy will not last forever and will be a down turn and pick between the things and this presumably has it's dedicated source of revenue you'll not have enough money - i - i mean i want to make sure that the people below the level of department at wade's level really building that if you exempt out the 24 from the annual fee you'll not be back here in a year to raise the fees or all the complaints and the person moving urban design group the improvement by the way, none of us are dump we saw a former department of inspection commissioner doing his own development project hello so - >> wade assures me buildings

it. >> and specifically for the director rahaim referring to the sized project when we looked at two fiscal years of projects that were before the commission for approval one was less than 20 unit sort of a cut off looking at it the next fiscal year 5 or 6 projects that were combined six or seven projects that would have been at this size i think yes. i believe that. >> thank you wade. >> all right. let's make one more motion thank you director one more motion to change the i'm level that stated on page 8 from one 50 to one hundred 20 as area medium income and this i'll add an amendment

i've made and a comment from supervisor sheehy. >> yes. through the chair i'd like to join as co-sponsor. >> great with the amended version and show the appreciation for all the work that is done over the years definitely need real transit as someone that gets my kids to school every morning the more cars we get off the streets the better. >> are you schlepping. >> i think people there - >> okay. >> about two hours on public transit. >> it's okay supervisor okay ladies and gentlemen, we've got a whole bunch of amendments thank you to mta, ta and the planning department staff you guys i want to recognize any staff that have been equally

tremendous and supervisor avalos put a lot of staff hours that is not easy and supervisor peskin said this a fluent document we'll take a time out for now and colleagues without objection colleagues okay without objection this passes as amended mr. clerk item 4. >> shall we i make a motion to send it to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> off it goes item 4 a hearing on the impasse of adult use of marijuana use. >> okay okay. and the sponsor of this item changes the house quickly thank you. >> thank you to the sponsors and stakeholders for item 4 we

appreciate you sitting around all day we're grateful. >> i'm the sponsor of this item this is a very important item before you the california voters legalized the use position and retail sale of non-medical or adult marijuana use across the state of california 64 lagoons the regulatory prop 64 allows the locality to tailor the implementation of the law to the needs and preserves so in anticipation of this the board of supervisors created the cannabis state legalization task force to advise the board and mayor and the departments of potential legalization we can understand the policy questions that are specific to the

cannabis industry no doubt that the board of supervisors and the city agencies will be faced with difficult policies discussions and post proposition 64 environment my hope to work alcoholic with the residents and stakeholders and you experts to develop policies that will allow this industry to thrive in our city, to become complaint with new existing laws and to also to compliment the neighborhood the neighborhood character and the environment that of what they're trying to blend in today we'll hear in the cannabis legalization task force for us to consider and bring up the task force staff who will kickoff this presentation want to recognize the task force staff and members

preferences the state is scheduled to begin listening in january 2018 the task force was in response to the legislation legalization efforts at the state level the board of supervisors created this in the ordinance of 2015 the task force was established as an advisory body on the legal social and land use and enforcement issues so the policymakers can address this process thank you. >> the 22 seat will task force will be active for two years that began in 2016 and the work of the task force is first year is presented to begin today in january of 2017 the goal of task force what as to make represents in the 3 main areas we discussed and the task force conducted in

order to do that monthly public meetings to design the finalize 84 represents that are referred in the year one report so the first main area is public safety but the recommendations of all categories are the conformation of research and analysis, expert testimony and discussion that will be evident to the committee in the summary they are meant to all the universe of issues with the legalization of this and year two builds on the recommendations and makes specifically relate to the implementations at the local level in san francisco the could he topics under the public safety social environment category combined thirty recommendations to address the sub categories public safety,

public con smupgs and tourism and hospitality the discussion during the task force of this area focuses on driving under the influence policy, neighborhood safety issues and social environment consideration the key recommendation that are addressed in this report include that public safety standards and protocol should be revised to insure the protection of the community. >> san francisco should provide public consumption options in the city and use exposure can be limited by the existing model for the research and san francisco should develop policies that include a variety of cannabis and hospitality options the second main category of land use is social justice has 3 recommendations count ii recommendations of category land

overview and the content i'll transition to the task force members that will present the public safety and social environment thank you. >> welcome. >> good evening my name is sarah i was a appointed to the cannabis legalization task force as the public policy i have fibromyalgia i was born and raised in san francisco i want to see good policy we're here to discuss the over consumption and driving under the influence we landlord from the state of colorado when they didn't have allowance for public consumption so for smoking the elbow use the eatable use causes the number of people that visit emergency rooms they're only

treated for water it make sense a simple educational campaign like try 5 milligrams to side educational campaigns to show people we showed - people who are overly medicine indicated status on women and allow the public use of medical cannabis so how to have san francisco look at outdoor it should be consumed where abstract tobacco is and dispensaries shall have safe places to use onsite and the attorney to look at privatizing locations with the beer places swrs this we saw the state of mayor willie brown they treated people like criminals my concern if i'm driving any kid's

to school and have not smoked in what week not credit card a criminal how with, support of chp how we can figure out the high toners versus low tolerance and vapor requires and being the lead in having education simple to the drunk campaign thank you for your time. >> just as a point of your information commissioner cowen's will be stepping out he is a 5 o'clock commitment but supervisor sheehy and i will remain. >> please. good afternoon. i'm sarah ic 12 on the task force and one of the vice chairs

i'm coming to talk about education both for patients and into cult use for consumers and in the industry itself just because we are going to adult use didn't change the reaction in the body we need to empower consumers by having educational materials available for anotherables, etc. and also have a empower push with the industry to educate people that are working in this so they can educate the consumers in having higher standards of education and people working in the agency in conjunction with the other institutions city college, oak street etc. i came to the task force as an educator and a cancer survivor both to show it is incredibly helpful for us to have access to

cannabis in addition to be effective you need to have education standards in place thank you very much >> good evening my name is corey a administrator from san francisco who represents the unified school districts i'm responsible for the educational program funded by the education i'll share some information about cannabis and legalization how we are working together to with mindful of exposure and health and education and support education in the public schools and vocal and job opportunities for the graduates i'll share good news we are funded actually with the compliance of federal funds that is important to know

that state and local funds for health education and services and the other educational services out of sf and ucsf so nationally the youth survey we survey 7 ac and 9 graders on their use of substances and their behaviors you ask about 40 percent plus young people tried marijuana in high school in san francisco we're about 28 percent and middle school 9 percent we don't have national fingers but working to have more on the top of exposure at the same survey captured the number of students that are - 2005

of students in high schools and in 201523.8 percent a decrease so some areas we work together in education and comprehensive services and sort of support for our students is we have a sort of a disproportionate use of marijuana in our non-traditional schools about 12 percent on gastro campus again, we surveyed the students and the numbers are not great as in number an amount in quantity the numbers of students that report seeing marijuana generally in their lives is 6 point plus and mission high school is 17.4 in high school so folks like to see folks not

using this age group and choosing to roll focus on their health and education with that, our health and education we have the proper support of services to address any needs and their families as well so we support our students opportunity for you know beyond college and beyond high school and also to make sure they are space adequate housing for them to continue their education thank you. >> good evening supervisors my name is bashar i'm representing the neighborhood coercion and past wanting of an association and the chair the the compliance committee we have on our board i

volunteered for this task force i felt the committee had a learning curve we have 3 mcd approved on the same night the committee found there is loopholes in the existing mcd we want to see this addressed i hope to have more information to take back to my district i'll ask the board of supervisors to place importance on the concerns where will that be legal to smoke and are the burgundy checks adequate and how to remove the retailer not in combines or compliance with the cbo school the biggest issues before the neighborhood and the majority of association members and the individual i've spoken are concerned about the clustering in self-defense under a ground for the board of education will be the green zone

a lot of people didn't want to advance the green sown 3 years the supervisor alavlos talked about they have the green zones expand we agree with that but at the time, no supervisor willing to do that it's been suggested by my neighborhood anyone that is as an mcd will keep the taxes earned and that money goes to the police department for their needs and also to require we want to go indirectly to the supervisor of that district so for the civic improvement if any supervisor wants to talk with me about that i'll be happy to meet you in your office thank you. >> hello supervisors i practice

business law and talk with the land use about land use and any ideas our retail locations and rail zoning district and non-retail locates for retail location gray draw a comparison to the medical rules first pointing out this cannabis is made possible by age groups to bring the medical cannabis into 2014 for a retail locations of medical retailer the planning commission recommended 6 hundred feet from schools by comparison for adult use retail we recommend that retail 6 hundred feet from schools and the buffers exist but boss both of those are measured by path of travel we know that san francisco is a dense city and sometimes you walk around the block to get to the door depends on to say the street line will

be a measure of distances as a path of travel hearsay evidence location to retail zoning the zoning process should vary from one zone and not be the same for all zones we recommended the zone process be more rigorous and like a commercial district we can have conditional use authorization and less rigorous like downtown and zoning district have notice finally for non-retail use for the manufacturer the cannabis use the planning code to have the zones for schools because they make sense. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors noimdz a jennifer i'm with the local 648 i'm in the labor seat train and education is something that san francisco values the

task force recommend a training component for that workers like an educated apprenticeship program some residents of san francisco are over locked they don't have a college degree they can have classroom train to retain those good jobs the apprenticeship is a proven track record of success been around a long time human resources apprenticeship was one of the organizations that protected the minority and women in the industry apprenticeship is about working with business all work sites benefit there are certify practices and have a standardized training san francisco workers that have apprenticeship training and education will not only understand the workplace they'll

be getting the train and skills and compensation this san francisco, california do there a cannabis apprenticeship committee approved at the state level working with city college and other educators to implement this program thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm laura thomas with the policy alliance and the seat on the task force we have xhoeven communications with the job train we spoke about ways to create opportunities for enterpriseship and our recommendations address to overcome some of the barriers

that are experienced by people trying to get employment but as ownership stake in a legal cannabis industry we see the negotiation of marijuana as an opportunity to repair some of the damage done in the country and in the city to serve and we recommendations around reducing the barriers and creating priority rights or preferences for those harmed by the war on drugs and trying to aid the economic barriers including the access to capita with loans as a way to increase access to the business using some of the existing small business support models to give people who previously been working in the economy the support they need to become a legal entity under prop 64 and

including pathways like amnesty programs for people working in the illegal industry to move into a new legal industry overall we think this is an opportunity for the board of supervisors and the city and county of san francisco to be creative in a racial and social frame to address the harms and move forward to create an industry that is responsive to the people that have been working in the industry and those who experienced harms related to the war on drugs this is a great opportunity to move forward into something different and hear from the communities thank you. >> thank you, ms. thomas. >> next speaker. >> hello i'm director jocelyn kane

sitting often the task force and asked to come up here to talk about the agency oversight and i wanted to take the opportunity i think that working at the entertainment commission kind of a baby agency of city been around 20003 this is a complicated issue and made a simple slide to show up with on the task forces came up with the board should consider a stand alone agency like a commission like ours that allows you to have trantsdz and a place for people to you know express their needs and certainly to do the outreach that is necessary the board should consider the stand alone agency but no commission

and look for policy guidance where or the board can consider using part of an existing agency to do this work as well i think this obviously within a year there's a lot more discussion but it is something that from the get go certainly i think helps you to locate how we'll work on the issues from seat to address some of the concerns you'll hear from the neighborhoods so are you going to come up and handle the rest of this. >> thank you jocelyn. >> under the regulation and city framework the key issue as jocelyn laid out the more important issue will we get started right away since a one year deadline by the state and if so what or what are the priorities so we can find the

political and the private will to move forward in a regulation you will find that the second year of the task force will be dedicated to developing specific policies around your direction as to how we should precede it is our recommendations that we start with non-retail you should start with the part of this entire industry subscribed by proposition 64 through the licenses types start with those non-retail licenses with the testing and production, transportation let's start with those relatively i think visible population and move forward create a city agency framework for this and begin to feed to that agency regulations how they can create a permit scheme so if you are a testing lab and want

to at cannabis to our testing benefit a direct and simple way to political to this body so add cannabis as one of our testing ingredients the same is true for transportation and distribution. >> cultivation we have in place cultivation approval process put together by the did you get and improve and codify in doing so take the non- retail of cannabis industry and set it up four success we know the difficult part of this process is when we get into neighborhood by neighborhood discussion as to where something belongs i love medical cannabis just not next to any school just not next to where i go to work and where i

walk by not next to the bus stop or the place i buy coffee at that point we are going to need to have a robust discussion the last 6 months of this year should be dedicated to public hearings and discussion how we are going to expand medical cannabis and then how will we develop a way to con assume cannabis what is called by the legislation the consumption lab this is retrofication like a box you can only go into that when our 21 and that's your cannabis consumption experience san francisco's has always said we have a san francisco way we would like to create with the help of the board of supervisors and the community consumption lounge experiences socialization is taught you our experiences

medical marijuana need to set the high water marks for the rest of country and look to the board i thank the rest of the nation is looking at how we develop our bylaws. >> is there any additional public comment? >> seeing none, public comment is closed so to the task force members you certainly heard from the concerns about just many things consumption and oversight location i think that we have a lot of work to do to educate people the greater community mr. terrance i like your suggests to take of months to educate and teresa talked about the state law is we as san francisco have a fifth amendments you'll have to take

to sacramento you'll be the lone voice in sacramento looking to repeal prop 64 you'll have to take to the voters and a truly uphill battle we need to understand what are people afraid of when it comes to consumption so that we can begin to address the truth or separate the truth 2 f from the lies the myth from the fear so we can move forward and make sure that businesses that are operating they're in compliance with the law supervisor sheehy please. so first, i wanted to thank everyone on the commission did such interpretation work and struck that we shifted to a discussion of the stigma of

marijuana use and reminder the documents that came up that showed richard nixon purposing enforced heavily marijuana laws to the target african-americans and the youth movement at the time in the early 70s that has led to incredible rate of criminalization it is completely unfair and unjust personally i've been involved with medical cannabis since 199 of my friend and with all due respect it is dennis to the experience of the successes boyfriend jonathan saw and dennis is a colleague i don't think harvey milk wouldn't have done this without dennis but dense saw the benefit of

cannabis use and jonathan was dying from aids and then really started the medical cannabis group and there were 12 one was the church of market and this fabulous club 5 stories was is where the law firm is it served and offices at the time, no mitigations i've been a patient since 97 when i was diagnosed and at first there was not tolerance within the first generation drug that was extremely toxic and strange that the least toxic drug was the most prohibited then because the toxics of the drugs i got a disease one of the foe conditions are random in his

control showing the controlling the pain that is associated with that disease conducted at the usf by the way, general hospitals so i think that one part to continue the work of this commission to i think we need to be prepared when proposition 64 comes both effect one of the things after 2030 we didn't have the ground work i think that all of us will be benefited we're not left with the wild west situation with bad actors and none knowing what is going on we have to think about the stigma it reminds me as a gay man and the experience with something living with hiv and

not unlikely that cannabis what about equality with the industry i personally have beened from pain and assistance in being able to take drugs it saved my life i hope as we move forward we can listen to each other i understand the neighborhoods concerns and should be mindful but think that this is an opportunity to do role what is been almost thirty or 40 years cost many, many people their freedom. >> thank you, thank you for the reality check we appreciate it. >> i have a couple of questions briefly i want to hear from peck the youth you go activation is he here still maybe someone what speak to say she highlighted there was a

decrease in a in numbers i think that i would sure what that number decrease and didn't explain what or the cause is of the decrease i don't know if you can provide some color. >> ma'am, supervisor i'll have to get back to i wasn't aware the decrease and what the causality was and no problem. >> and then jennifer you in our presentation talked about you came to the rules committee he recommended the local is usc w still taking the lead in the cannabis city. >> they were the first union to cut the cannabis workers in needing before the change the

public opinion so the usc wushgs working with the governor and i know your central wanting has met with him with the apprenticeship committee and on the state level we are in load as is regulation passed and come into the regulated system that all the workers exist have protection they know they're right and have these good jobs no matter what happened there will be workings we want the workers to be protected as they community-based introduce the many changes. >> i was wondering which automobile was stepping up and taking the lead i know the

tooerms have been involved i don't know the technology planets i guess. >> that's material product so, yes there are other units involved. >> who are they. >> i believe the usc w and the tooermz are the main unions and in other states seiu. >> i don't know. i don't of any other questions it's looks like we're done you guys are a lot of work ahead of you, we can roll up our sleeves xhesh if we could make a motion to continue this item we can continue this item. >> madam chair. >> as a matter of

duffy and mark leno. but i know he's up to the task and i'm very proud to support him. with that i like to introduce our mayor ed lee from just over the hill sunny glen park. i know that ed family cares greatly about artistic. it is his district is doing his absolute best to steer a very diverse and often challenging city. so thank you mayor lee and welcome. it is my pleasure to introduce you. >>[applause] >> thank you staff and thank you for bringing the sunshine out today for our introduction of town square. welcome everybody good morning also thank you to our police department our city attorney, the other department heads for joining us along with our board representatives and elected officials. this was a very important decision that i got to make because of the voters. and it's both an obligation, a

treasured opportunity for a mayor to make any time there's a vacancy and of course our legislative body and having conversed with quite a number of supervisors both present and past, having had the opportunity, other determined this opportunity, to talk with many residents, merchants, and people of district 8 from all of the wonderful corridor of this very diverse district, from having had many discussions with those that were very interested to help lead this district and the city to make sure that our city was safe, wonderfully diverse, making sure that all the things that we are trying to do as a city continued more importantly

today than ever before, to be a welcoming city. a diverse city. a city of both san francisco values but also a city that took care of things. for everyone. and i heard it from literally every single neighborhood that i had the privilege to talk with. they said they wanted somebody who was a replica of scott weiner. >>[laughing] so i set about -cheering >>[cheerring] to say first of all scott that's my way of saying thank you for being such a great partner >>[cheerring]. we have enjoyed your advocacy, your passion, your craziness, 24-7 but everybody enjoyed it and it was you know he has both large shoes to fill in a height that i try to deal with as well.

>>[laughing] but you know as we go up to second meadow we will have a tremendously another friend to really help us as a city and region so scott, congratulations, but also thank you. thank you for being such a great strong supporter and you know, i set about to try to find a replica. there's no such way we could do it. in fact, i agreed with all the community leaders from no we valley from diamond heights, glenn part, from all of the different districts, castro and upper market and so forth to find and we agreed there is no way we can replicate but we can have in our hearts a selection of somebody who is aspirational, who is passionate, whose love of the city and people, whose past advocacy is the strong but also

solution orientated. whose recent professional life has been really to find solutions to one of the most challenging issues of all of our time and whose early days and i guess was pretty strong-but no less stronger than the passions that i felt before i became a government official as well is that we have to advocate for those who needed that representation. i found out that person in jeff sheehy and i found someone who not only has the passion and commitment but represents a diversity that complements our board, represents a intellect that is very deep. has a passion for neighborhoods. happens to emanate from my neighborhood but also a parent. a parent of a lovely daughter in public

school. >>[applause], yes, michelle. and who i think who has not only through interviews but as we studied what he has done and as we listened to not just neighborhood leaders, and residents, but even other candidates under consideration said that they were also considering the activities that we found in jeff camp, and i know this can be much more sad as he takes the oath and as he gets sworn in this weekend, but i want to say that i, again, listened very carefully to what people were saying. we talked a lot about actually is and qualifications of the person and every neighborhood leader, every resident, every merchant said i want someone who is

crazily involved and engaged. who will answer every question. who will be something doing more than just solving the immediate problem that we asked them to, but dig in and say what is the policy issue here? what are we really trying to find as an answer that is sustainable, not just a temporary treatment of something. in jeff we found somebody whose spirit is getting to zero, whose spirit is in advocacy for those that are this enfranchised, whose spirit and honesty and intellect is very very clear to me and who will be engaged with the residents of this entirely very diverse district called

district 8. i found that in jeff. i found his passion. i found his love of people and i found someone who is already demonstrated in his own life a life history that i want to see to make sure that the history of our city is well intact along with the forward thinking solution orientated, pragmatic practical, yet values. person. and so, it is my privilege to introduce to you the next supervisor of district 8, the two comment that we want to have some of jeff sheehy. >>[applause] >> so first i want to-let me see if i can get this-first i want to thank mayor lee. i am

honored, humbled, just overdone by his confidence in need i know this economy and unbelievably challenging job. i know it's personal to them because like you said, we are neighbors. and i want to-i got other neighbors out here in the audience. i want to thank the members of san francisco family who turned out today. some of you i don't four years and we work together. some of you i'm going to get to know and i look forward to working together. you know, i live in clinical and partly i been doing politics were living in this district since 1994. i have walked all over. you know, michelle and i, right?. okay man go so we been everywhere. everywhere. >>[applause] i mean how many we've gone i don't know. speaking of michelle, one of the things i want to really acknowledge is

that the mayor did not appoint a person.. he appointed a family. you know, my husband >>[applause]. >>[laughing]. you know i'm not sure i would be-i am not being facetious but i'm not sure i would be here today if not for him. almost 18 years. michelle, i mean the love of our lives. everything we do we do for michelle. i think that is the way we feel about all the kids in our district. you know and i think sometimes in san francisco we get caught up in a lot of big issues but the kids here, you know, this is our future. and if we don't do right by our kids we are not creating the right future for the city. >>[applause] so, we talked about potholes and i don't know

if i can do what scott and kevin and mark had done on that but it is my aim to try as hard as i can. i'm not in this job, you know i'm not here to serve because i want to go to sacramento where i want to go to washington or i want to go to some other room in city hall. i had a career. i've made history. equal benefits basically brought >>[applause]. brought the business community to the side of folks the lgbt community went into town to talk about marriage. they were writing up grease for us. not for the other side. because of equal benefits. that was only happening here but happened across the country and other cities in the state of california. i really want to

give you shut out to mayor brown the first courage and support of the next good city atty. louise rennie. >>[applause] city atty. dennis herrera. that made his victory possible. you know, so my thing is i really care about our neighborhoods that make up this district. you know, public safety is a big issue for us. it's something when your neighbor standing out in front of your house, two-year-old kid, hold onto her patently with literally in front of my house. and she's got a car seat. she's pulling it out of her backseat picking up pieces of glass because her car is broken in spirit there's nothing to steal. and i know, you know i know the department is doing all it can but we have

to be there to support the department. because this is a big issue. we have, you know, for people who live here for families who live in this district are streets need to be saved. people need to be able to park on the street and operate out being broken into at least two aiken three times in nearly outside my window there's been a car with a broken window. and it's a tough challenge and i really i read about the innovative work the department is doing and so we've got to continue to work these folks. so- >>[applause]. my head is to be here for the people in our community. i like to talk about-i don't know how many people do into glen park queen juno regularly and the

speed of the best hummus and san francisco. michelle is a little kid, right and we are like, oh my god, his kids were working behind the counter, and rima were michelle's babysitters. that's the kind of community that i live in. right? that's the kind of community we all live in. that's why i want to serve is not for grandiose purposes, but as a mayor said, to take care of people's problems and where there is broader policy that can make things better for the people in my district, then to advance those. the other reason i'm really honored to serve is that aiken is a dramatic change for me, but i will be the lgbt supervisor. >>[applause]. these are perilous times. we face and existential threat. rights that we fought for and won that women have one, are may be, we may have to fight for them all over again. our

gains maybe you raised by what he does with the courts. our immigrant community, you know, it's shameful. these are our neighbors. we have to be here to make sure, and united. i know there's been a lot of classes this that's gone on and i hope because i know people on both sides. aggressive modern, whatever labels you want to use, but we need to be fighting together, right? right? >>[applause] our fight is outside. a particular interest to me for me is health care. i've been involved, you know, department of public health. activism for healthcare. i've been at ucsf. perhaps the

finest healthcare institution in my mind in the country and perhaps the world. the dedication of the folks at air, which you know, includes some of the finest minds in the world serve the people with some of the-new experience in the worst disparities in at san francisco general. such a monument to the compassion of the city. but with ac eight potentially under attack, medicaid cuts trimmed back, is absolutely essential for my respective, and i want to work on, making sure that we don't lose ground in the work that we've done to reduce disparities in access to high-quality health care for all the communities in san francisco. >>[applause]. then, lastly, i would like to talk about the hiv community.

this is historic. we've never had somebody openly living with hiv on the board of supervisors and we have been through a lot. we have long-term survivors which i am one. am one of the lucky ones. you know, 30 years ago if you told me i could live to 40, i was like-i don't think so. as friend left and right becoming ill, dying, if you had told me that it be able to get married i would not have believed you. and it's astonishing to me i'm going to turn 60 this year. i'm a husband almost 18 years and i held 11-year-old daughter going to public school in san

francisco. >>[applause]. but i want to be here for the long-term survivors who have not had the good luck that i have had. that they are not forgotten. you know a lot of what we have in the city and as a community, they fought for. and they did not have the good fortune that i have good and a lot of my fellow, they are feeling like they are feeling forgotten to the feeling isolated. i want them to know that a voice in city hall. they have a partner. but i also want to hearken back to those dark days in san francisco. when people were dying. there was no hope. there was hate and so many places in the world. you know, god's fate for you folks. what did san francisco do? it opened its heart. everybody in san francisco came together

could perhaps one of the city's finest moments. and i literally would not be here if the city had not come together all across, every you know, social class, everybody came together showed compassion, work together, and to me, we may be facing those same kinds of threats now. different communities, perhaps but the same sort of threat to the very survival of people in our community and so in ending, i don't want to again make the plea that we act without rancor, that we disagree civilly , that we keep our eye on the ball and work together so that

we can defend ourselves. we can fight together against threats that are real to everybody in our community so, thank you. >>[applause]. >> now it's my pleasure to introduce scott waygandt i've had the pleasure of working with scott for the last eight years and can honestly thank him for so many things but i will start with this counselor which he helped put through it all the way up 24th st. to know we courts which was really quite a contentious renovation and is still underway but it's almost done. for everything that we do in the cbd i could not have done without the help of scott and his staff and andrea's power were just terrific. so i'm sorry to see zygote in our really want to thank him for all his years of service as supervisor for district 8. scott. >>[applause] >> thank you. and i'm really

thrilled that we are doing this in the town square and this is just an amazing our community so thank you to everyone oh made it a reality and i will be honest, i can i will be honest it is over but bittersweet. i, even though i took office a month ago, because there wasn't another supervisor i still sort of felt like i was the supervisor for this wonderful district and people were still treating me as such and asking questions and asking for help which i was happy to provide, but this job, being on the board of supervisors, representing district 8, this amazing set of communities has been in many ways the honor of my life. i just first of all want to thank the residents of district 8 472 city hall for having the confidence in me to represent you and for working with me and my office and

partnering to do so many things were this community and to try to weave these neighborhoods a better place than when we came into office. so thank you for that. that's the better part. leaving this amazing role. the sweet part is that i cannot think of a more worthy and qualified successor than jeff johnck sheet type johnck i she had. one very very flattered that some people suggested they wanted a replica of me, they actually >>[inaudible] [off mic] a little shorter, right. it's actually better to have someone who's their own person. and jeff sheehy is exactly that. i don't jeff for many years and is just an extraordinary leader and extraordinary thinker. someone who is unbelievably passionate

and driven and tenacious in moving forward a strong and progressive policy agenda for our community. someone who is in his personal it has gone to hell and back and is absolutely flourished because of who he is and his strength and his family strength. jeff has been an unbelievable resource to me when i was on the board of supervisors. in terms of coming to me with ideas and being there to support our work particularly around healthcare, hiv issues. he was just an unbelievable resource and i just know he is going to do incredible work on the board of supervisors. jeff, i know that you know this but you're going to learn really quickly, this is an amazing district and so many levels. it is also a district where the residents of this district are more engaged and thoughtful and

knowledgeable than you can imagine. >>[laughing]. they will call it bs on you in a heartbeat >>[laughing] and so one of the great things you can be straightforward with people and really collaborate and work together and jeff, you are going to love this job and love of working with this community. we have so much work to do. i know in the state senate we are already very focused on the title wave of toxicity that's going to come at us from washington dc. we have an administration that was to throw millions of californians off of healthcare that wants to deport many of our neighbors. that denies the climate change exists and now more than ever, not just california but san francisco, must be on the canning edge making sure we are creating that healthcare safety net.

that we are protecting our immigrant communities. that we are moving towards a sustainable environmental future and i know that jeff is absolutely going to be at the forefront of those fights. so i look forward to partnering with you, jeff. so, jeff, congratulations to my complete and total support in this endeavor and congratulations everyone. thank you. >>[applause] >> i love lorraine this type. okay. now i have the privilege of introducing added that they were about 14 years ago called me into his office along with carole jenny and bob donegan said hey beth, there's this thing we want to do and it will improve public space on 24th st. and the property owners to pay for. we would like, seriously? we did and we done it and thanks to both supervisor weiner and duffy, it's a terrific street. so kevin, it is yours. >>[applause] >> good morning everyone. make

no mistake, this is the job of a lifetime. and i want to thank the mayor for giving us someone who can really fill the potential for this job represents. there's a lot of cameras and reporters here. let me warn you, jeff is a very savvy tactician with the media. so for those who've not had the privilege of working with them, you will really enjoy his transparency among his intellect, and his understanding that the media plays a critical role in keeping us honest and advancing good policy and remembering those that are forgotten and ensuring that everyone knows. i want to echo what sen. weiner said, that this is an amazing district to represent those of the people, because of the awareness that people have good i am is felt when i sweated over my monthly e-mail

newsletter that was a waste of time because i could tell how a gentleman would look at me at the gym asked whether he liked the book which i guess the tuesday prior in weatherly was happy or not or what about if someone would stop me in line at the safeway and this is a neighborhood is defined by its part. the how the identity of this community around parks like buena vista park and glen park and dolores park and even a small part like the record or state street all are so important and how people see and have a little bit of respite in this city. i can tell you that scott you know, said that this is a district that is transit we did know something scott did a lot of work on and i know that jeff will carry that legacy forward. but this is also the district that was represented by harvey milk and i do want to draw attention to the fact that as jeff steps into this world, it is a difficult mantle to fill.

many times had people say you are no harvey milk. i know that scott and mark have experienced that in their own way. but i know that to see an individual who is a hiv-positive mother first, not to the board of supervisors, and for jeff and i to span an generation were so many of our brothers were lost due to the indifference of the federal government and a president like ronald reagan, and what we see today, that i know that jeff is ready for the task. he is ferocious. i fear him at times but he has certainly come to me in a way that is let me know that i need to get things done and i can tell you in retrospect, it is sometimes better to be feared at city hall been like at city hall. so, when that is necessary, i know that jeff will step up and do that work. but i also want to remember that jeff linda harvey milk democratic club. when he did that were, back in 1994, we had the lavender suite in san francisco get it was a very

hopeless time. pete wilson was the governor. was a very difficult time. the drug had not come in to respond to the aids epidemic and in that year we elected three lgbt members to the board of supervisors, on the auto saloon they'll carole make and should be elected to lgbt members to the community college board. lawrence swamp and leslie katz what long legacies and career in public service. i want to say i think jeff is uniquely qualified to bring together this very politically diverse lgbt community. not only does he have the mantle of harvey milk but if the mantle of being for the first time in a generation, the only lgbt members of the board of supervisors. perhaps in some way that will get us together in this very important time to be more united and to recognize that working together we can accomplish much more than we can when we are divided from one another. i want to acknowledge my good friend jennifer freed mark is here from the homeless coalition to say that i know that jeff is someone is come to my office

when i had the privilege of working for the mayor and brought buddies to me that showed what the outcomes were for hiv-positive women who are homeless living in a tenderloin and the amount of violence that they sustained in their lives and how that violence affected their ability to maintain treatment. so i know the compassion that jeff feels and i know that he understands that the gay community in san francisco is not an affluent community. we are like everybody else. i do want to say that if jeff were not supervisor i think would've been a member of the school board surveillance of knowledge -mendoza was here from the board of education but most of

my conversations in recent years with jeff have been about our kids education. the fact that michelle is gone from the harvey milk school and got to clarendon and is now at presidio middle school and he is cared so much about her education and a belief he will be a great supervisor for those issues. so again i want to thank the mayor. i want to say it's wonderful to see all the letter to support jeff in this step, bold step, he is making and i'm so thrilled for my brother to have this opportunity. thank you. clapping. >> >> hi. now i like to introduce tiffany loan rate my neighbor and pack memory. tiffany. >>[applause] >> thank you, deb. most of you in this group don't know me. i am usually part of the background and i'm usually on that side of things. i usually get as i can know what alana were isaac maugham. sometimes talked like wife most of the time and something to that affect. although some you may know run by local classical timber music series in the neighborhood. but in the circle, i guess i'm unknown. i'm one of the least political people around but i'm incredibly civic minded. i'm neighborhood-based. i'm

community center. i'm family focus. i'm a staunch supporter of the public schools here and that's how i know jeff. as part of the fabric of the community we met a few years back and when our kids were younger and we shared an idea about parents being-having a stronger voice in the community. that was the parent pac and jeff and i met in our my living room and i was incredibly, incredibly touched when we had conversations. his warmth, his kindness, his thoughtfulness, is incredibly apparent intellect and how much he cared about what his daughter was going to be exposed to and going to schools

in the city and what he thought he could, wish by trying to give parents a stronger voice in the city. i was immediately drawn to him and i just felt so connected, and i was thrilled when i found out there was never the opportunity to speak. basically say, >>[inaudible] [off mic] how excited i am that you are going to be the next district 8 supervisor. i was nervous about what i might say and was talking to my 12-year-old daughter and she said, mom, all you have to set parents and families might they need a voice on the board of supervisors and so i'm thrilled that city hall and my daughter are both in-line because they got it right. so jeff is the right voice to speak for us and i am thrilled. >>[applause] >> okay. now offer final

speaker, we have diane hagler was chief of hiv aids division at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital. diane. >>[applause] >> thank you so much. i'm diane hagler. most of you don't know me. i am a physician. i am a mother. raise four children with my husband here in the city of san francisco get professor at ucsf and also the head of hiv at zuckerberg san francisco general hospital. we care for about 2500 individuals living with hiv and disparities in healthcare and in our population are remarkably-with things such as homelessness and with mental illness. you would not be surprised to hear that coming into 2017, we've heard directly from our patients and

the look in their eyes. they are worried. they are worried that their health benefits and supportive services might not continue in the ones that are most worried are the immigrants and are most honorable populations. i feel, i feel very proud that we live in a city where are mayor and our supervisors and us as a community have resolved that we are going to ensure that as we go into the coming year, that healthcare is not going to be jeopardized for our city. i really like what scott said about-an editorial he wrote it we have to be the leaders. not the whiners. we have-we have the intellect we have the ideas. we have the will to do that. so i'm no jeff for over a decade and a half. we worked together we were some of the cofounders of the getting 20 initiative but you heard about witches get to zero new hiv infections, deaths from hiv and stigma due to hiv. that's a

multisector effort of which several people in this audience have been involved in. it would not have happened without the collaboration and support of sen. weiner and without the leadership of our mayor and i just want to probably to clap and just really want to express the gratitude for that effort. >>[applause]. getting 20 has been featured wisely across needy and time magazine and other places of mayors around the world have come to our mayor to learn what did we do in san francisco and how can we capitulate that in our city. so just a few personal things about working with jeff. it might be a little cold out here but jeff has the warmest heart but make no mistake, he is tough as nails. he is with smart and he just like there's alternate sports, he's the ultimate commitment to public service and community service and specifically, this community. i would think a lot about leadership. i think we all know that good leaders are good listeners. jeff is a very
