10:00 pm
i also just want to recognize the collective heaviness in the chamber today and i want to remember and remind everyone that the mayor was not only an outstanding public servant but a husband and a father and i think one of my most fondest memories of the mayor is when i would see him interact with little people, young children. he had a knack. he would tell them corny jokes. they would not laugh, well, some laughed at him, not with him. my heart aches. i want to send out the deepest, most heartfelt condolences to mrs. lee and to breanna and to tonya. and let them know that we love them and that we as a city family are wrapping our arms around them and also recognizing that our entire city family is grieving and we'll heal and get through this and the rest i
10:01 pm
submit. thank you. >> clerk: supervisor farrell? >> councillor farrell: thank you. i want to back up what supervisor cohen just said and supervisor breed. and now acting mayor breed said earlier. one thing i want to share with everyone. people ask us, what is your memory of mayor lee? and i want it share something from last thursday, which is the last time i saw him. we were at the christmas tree lighting at mclaren lodge, the official san francisco christmas tree. i went up on stage with him. for the first time, my children came with me on stage for the first time. and my little guy, who just turned 5 years old, he thought that he was going to be the one to flip the switch and turn on the christmas tree lights. i told him that was not the case. that's the mayor's job and his prerogative to do so. apparently the mayor heard me talking to him. and so when the mayor went up, he motioned to my son and they
10:02 pm
kind of held hands on top of each other and flipped the switch together with a bunch of other children. to me, it's just -- i will miss so much mayor lee the individual and it's a story that i thought was just very typical of my interactions with him and what i will very much miss. >> clerk: any other members? supervisor kim? >> councillor kim: i wanted to add my words to the passing of our mayor and continuing to share stories. i first met mayor ed lee in 2001 when i was a youth community organizer in chinatown and he had just been appointed as director of public works the year prior. and our youth leaders organized early morning cleanups of our alley ways in chinatown, and
10:03 pm
pointing out that alleyways were often not taken care of by the city. and ed lee came personally to deliver dust pans and grooms and garbage bags and i was struck by his immense humbleness and dedication to being a public servant. when he became mayor, one things that i found extraordinary about him is he cleaned our streets before he became the mayor of san francisco. he really knew our city. and i know that he personally cleaned our streets with his staff and employees at department of public works. i always joke that head of our public works is truly the mayor of san francisco, because they do the work that the public often sees as the work of the city. ed lee was a truly decent human being who loved corny jokes and
10:04 pm
loved our city even more. it was an honor to work alongside an individual who dedicated his life to public service and to the great city of san francisco and i just want to send my thoughts and prayers to his family, his wife, anita, daughters breanna and tonya. he will be greatly missed. rest in power, mr. mayor. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor ronen and then supervisor lee. >> councillor ronen: i also wanted to share my deepest condolences to his family and say my work with the mayor was one of most surprising things that happened to me since i became supervisor. we all know how entrenched we become on our political sides of the aisle and when i was running for supervisor i was very negative about the mayor and his leadership. so to his credit, the minute i became supervisor and came to
10:05 pm
him and said, i want to work with you really closely hand in hand on homelessness in my district, which is such a crisis, he never held my words against me. he never hesitated. he said, yes, let's do this. let's work together. and kept his word every single step of the way. when carolyn, my chief of staff and i, would meet with him each month, we had such good meetings with him and every single time i would walk out of his office saying, how crazy is it that by one of my closest allies in city hall is the mayor of san francisco. and that we agree on how to address this issue. that we have fun working together. we are honest with one another and have worked hand in hand and sometimes my colleagues will make fun of me.
10:06 pm
"you and your best friend, the mayor." i would say, hey, i will give credit where credit is due. he's the person that's stepped up to the plate and has worked with me harder than anyone else and has kept his word every step of the way. i just have to say that that has been one of the biggest blessings that i've had since i've become supervisor, to watch this man, who i didn't know very well before i became supervisor and who kept his word and cared so deeply. when we went to visit the navigation center that we opened in record time, the way he interacted with the residents of the center, the naturalness, care, concern, dignity, humility, the ease at which he related with people, you cannot fake. there is no faking that type of interaction. and it really gave me a level of
10:07 pm
respect for this mayor that i had not had before and that i will always, always carry with me. i want to say thank you, mayor lee, for everything that you did for this city for 40 years. for your attention and love for the people of san francisco, even the poorest people, for working with me hand in hand and always giving me that chance, even though we were and have been on opposite sides of the aisle. to his wife, anita, and to his beautiful daughters, breanna and tonya, we're just with you in this time of grieving and i just want to personally send you my deep love and appreciation. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor. supervisor yee. and then we'll go to the roster. >> councillor yee: i didn't know
10:08 pm
how corny his jokes were until i went to ireland in 2013 and i -- it's unbelievable how many times i heard them during the trip. every time he met everyone from ireland, "do you know that there's a river named after me here?" that was the beginning of my understanding of his humor, where, really, how many times are you going to say this and it's still funny to you? [laughter] i have to say that i admire his steadfastness and as a fighter for social justice issues and immigrant rights and homelessness and other people that are less fortunate. one of the things about him is that i realized, sometimes one
10:09 pm
has a plate full of things that they care about and it's pretty much full. what i found out with him is that his plate has plenty of stuff but always seems to be able to put something else on it and i would say that it took a little while for ed to come around on the issue of childcare but eventually, i mean, every time i walked -- last three or four times i walked into his office, he was really focused on early education and childcare and he was coming around so much that he was seeing ways in which we can work together to say, we're better than new york's mayor announcement of his
10:10 pm
initiative and we can get this done in san francisco. so i'm going to miss that part of his enthusiasm as we move forward. thank you very much, ed. >> clerk: supervisor tang? >> councillor tang: thank you very much. i think i share a lot of the same memories and comments of many of my colleagues, sending my best condolences and thoughts to anita and mayor lee's daughters. we were fortunate, supervisor safai and supervisor farrell to join in on the sister city trip to ireland this year and, yes, he made that same river lee joke many times i would not be here today if it were not for him. i am so grateful for this opportunity to be able to serve the city and it really was because he gave me this opportunity.
10:11 pm
sorry. and we -- it's not until they're gone that you realize how lucky you are to have such a genuine mayor that listened to people from all different sides. and i remember when we had our one-on-one meetings, i would bring in our interns because i wanted them to meet the mayor and he would happily allow them to meet with him and take photos with him and ask questions. not only would he listened to them, but he would do special things like give them a giants' pin or something special from his office and it meant so much from the interns to have that interaction with him. he was that kind of person. i'm thrilled that we were able to work on some great policies together. i hope that finish our teacher housing project, first of its kind, in our own sunset district, which he put his foot
10:12 pm
down and said, we need to do this. we cannot take any longer and debate about how we'll do it. we're going to do it. mr. mayor, i hope we can make you proud on this project. my biggest regret is not telling him how much i appreciated him. i hope we learn a lesson from this if there are people in our lives that we appreciate, that we take time to tell them that. thank you, mr. mayor. i will miss you very much. >> clerk: supervisor safai? >> councillor safai: i will reiterate a lot of the things said. i had the great pleasure of working for ed lee when he was director of public works. and really got to see his commitment to our city. he was dedicated in such a way, as many of you have said here, to keeping his head down and doing the work. he wasn't about recognition. he wasn't about the accolades. he was truly about getting the
10:13 pm
work done. and from all the politicians that i work with in my life and have been around, i have to say, believe, truly, that he was probably the most kind, gentle man that happened to be a politician. as many of you know, he didn't go into the situation looking for that, but actually took on that responsibility and embraced it ultimately. i think he was committed to everyday san franciscans and i have so many stories to share, but two of them are kind of funny. one was, after i won my race, he called me up and said, let's go clean some streets? what? i just became supervisor. that was his reflex. his reflex was, let's get out on the streets and talk with the people and when we got out there, you know, in my district, he was like, i really love being out there.
10:14 pm
these are real san franciscans, working people, and i think he never forgot about his humble beginnings. supervisor breed likes to talk about how he came from public housing. i don't think he lost that. i think it guided him and it was who he was in so many ways. when he became our mayor, the city was over 12% unemployment. all he would talk about was jobs, jobs, jobs, and, boy, did he turn this city around. and i think a lot of times as supervisor tang said, we take for granted what we have. he committed himself to the housing trust fund. he committed himself to turning the economy around. he worked on the mid market tax break and it's been so much more phenomenal than anyone could have imagined with the amount of jobs and economy it's brought back. my heart goes out, as well, to his wife, anita, and their two daughters.
10:15 pm
i had the great pleasure when i first became supervisor inviting myself on his trip to the conference of mayors. i thought he would say no at first. next thing i knew, i was on a plane at the conference of mayors and i really consider this mayor a friend and a mentor in so many different ways. for the people of district 11, in our part of town, that have felt for so long that they were overlooked and forgotten, this mayor immediately jumped in and embraced probably one of the biggest projects we've been working on for years, which is the largest affordable childcare subsidized childcare center in the city. when i met with him two years prior to even running, he said, we're going to do this, because this is right. and i didn't even know that this was the largest subsidized childcare center in the city, over 224 families. we closed a $5.5 million deal.
10:16 pm
that was to his credit. not many people saw the mayor get really, really mad at them. i -- we were at a warriors' game and i don't though what was on his mind. steph curry hit a 3 and there was no emotion and i said, mr. mayor, don't get excited. i said, you know what i'm excited about, i'm excited about the corner of turk and hyde and where is mohammed and where is marlin and get everyone in here. and everyone was like, i don't know what you did. i've never seen the mayor so mad at anyone in my life. by the end, every single time he would see me, and i know jason can attest, he would not stop talking about turk and hyde. he would never let it go, until the last moment i met with him, he talked about turk and hyde.
10:17 pm
it's a sad day for our city. he was a phenomenal city and great mayor and he will go down as one of the best mayors in the history of this city and may never get all the recognition that he deserves. >> clerk: supervisor sheehy? >> councillor sheehy: it's been an experience for me. i really did not know the mayor when i got the appointment. it's been relatively little time with him and i was surprised and shocked that he made that cho e choice. it's been something getting to know him. one of the things that i have been touched by is just the sheer hard work. i've never seen any individual work so hard. i'm struck and terribly saddened for his family, for his wife and daughters, because he made tremendous sacrifice for this
10:18 pm
city. and he deeply cared. i've known a lot of political folks. the most decent, humble human bei being, i remember one morning, we were going to a school in my district. and i watched him get out of his car. and he had just come from san francisco general where he had been meeting, you know, seeing an officer that was injured in the line of duty. and the weight on his shoulders, the way in which he so deeply car cared, about the individual that he was responsible for. and i looked into his eyes, and his shoulders were slumped. you know, it's hard to go see someone you are responsible for and take on that pain.
10:19 pm
and yet, you know, 10 minutes later, we're under a desk with kids and he's talking with them and engaging them and genuinely, very real. as we're walking out, i said, i don't know how you carry this for the whole city. and you could see in his eyes the depth of feeling that he has for the people in san francisco. i mean, he's -- we're in the same neighborhood in glenn park. our place to meet was a diner. and that's where he ate. the connectiveness of the ordinary lives of the people
10:20 pm
that live here was so deep, authentic and genuine and the way he worked every day to make everyone's life better and, you know, i was -- to my colleagues, i was -- he was so committed to doing something significant about homelessness. i was in his office yesterday talking about the state of emergency. and he and i have been talking about homelessness because obviously this is such a crisis in our city. and he always approached that issue with true compassion. he wasn't going to take a path that treated the people on our streets with less dignity than
10:21 pm
anybody else gets. he would not look at it as problem to be shoved in a corner. i agree with my other colleagues that he will be remembered as a truly great mayor. there was an expectation that he controlled everything that happened in the city. and no one can do that. he couldn't do it. we can't do it. it's a dynamic, growing, living city. but he did take on problems and work them. and i feel as a fellow parent, it's what you do with your kid. you work and you work and you know that there's no endline, no time when you get to stop or rest or let it go. and i really miss him. and the love he's given this
10:22 pm
city. not just being mayor, but he's worked to make this city better for, what, over 30 years? and it's been an honor to know him. and, again, for his family, we owe his family so, so very much. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor sheehy? supervisor safai -- >> councillor safai: sorry. that was from before. >> clerk: that concludes new business. >> councillor breed: thank you, madam clerk. >> clerk: at this time, the public may address the board supervisors for up 2 minutes to include the minutes, which constituted a quorum of the
10:23 pm
board of supervisors. including item 63 and 66. public comment is not allowed when the item has been previously out for public comment. direct your remarks as a whole and not individuals. speakers using interpretation will be allowed twice the amount of time. if you would like to display a document, please do so. >> councillor breed: first speaker, please. >> thank you, president and acting mayor breed. ladies and gentlemen of the board, i ask for your resignations. you've violated your oath of office. you swore to defend the united states constitution against all enemies foreign and domestic and yet you have the citywide case management and community focus, a joint project with the san francisco campus of the university of california, which the city and county funds at a
10:24 pm
race of $100 million a year. there's assertive treatment program and responsible for involuntarily medicating and surgical procedures that is not voluntary. it is able to do this by violating its patients' life and liberty without due process of law. it denies its patients personal security and badly integrity. it also denies its patients freedom of association and the right to petition the government with grievances guaranteed. reasonable searches and seizures. denies the right to confront
10:25 pm
accusers. citywide denies the right to jury trials. citywide cruel and unusual punishment from its patients. citywide uses medicine to control its patients because it offers no alternative. denies patients equal treatment under the law guaranteed by item 14. you have violated your oaths, i ask for your resignation. back to you, president breed. >> councillor breed: thank you. next speaker, please.
10:26 pm
>> i remove my hat and tip my head to mayor lee. we cannot outlaw tragedy. end the year subdued. i'm humbled to be here. residents here in this chamber, charles pitt came in today, i got his name, when we had the police here, he said if empathy is to be a part of our police department, shouldn't we look for it when we do our hiring? saying that we're missing our water, and that should have been taken care of 10, 20, 30 years ago.
10:27 pm
are we building, flushing, watering our plants still with pure water. supervisor kim, graduates of the navigation systems do better when they're relocated outside of their environments. there's districts that don't want the navigation systems. but they should be able to handle the graduates. we need a new, realistic housing policy for the people in san francisco, from the seniors, that the steps in their homes, they can't navigate anymore, to the seniors on only social security. from the renters that are stuck in homes that they can't move out of until they die and they have to die before the property is sold.
10:28 pm
reality check time. happy recess. >> councillor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. if there are any other members that want to address the board, please step up. come to the right side of the chamber. >> i'm michael shane. i'm here to address our concerns about the written findings about the sale of sello terrace. we heard that several supervisors have stated that they based their voice on the facts. let's look at the facts stated in the finding. "upon receiving confirmation, owner of the property had not received a mail notice that the treasurer should have taken additional measures to provide
10:29 pm
notice to the property owner." while we all heard that there was a return notice this year, that is not relevant to the facts of the written finding. the petitioner had not produced any evidence that there was a notice prior to the tax bill in april. so why is the date of return confirmation important? it goes to the plausibility of the argument. we need it look at whether additional notice was ill possible. the bill said it was at that time. so until the petitioner shows that there had been a return notice, it doesn't make sense that argue that the tax collector should have done more to provide notice. there was no opportunity for him to do so.
10:30 pm
respectfully, i urge you to delay your decision until conclusive evidence is provided in order for you to makes an informed decision rather than rush into a decision that would harm the public trust and fair government process of san francisco. thank you. >> councillor breed: thank you for your comments. there seems to be no other members of the public. >> clerk: please step up, sir. >> i'd like to have a moment of silence for mayor lee. i was shocked to hear that he passed away. i personally loved mayor lee, his wife, anita, and his two daughters. the last time i talked to mayor lee, it was not a very nice conversation. but i'd like to have a moment of
10:31 pm
silence for mayor lee, and for that little 8-year-old boy, gabriel, who has murdered by his father because he thought he was gay. so, moment of silence, please. >> thank you. miss canada, and i have a picture, if you can show it on the overboard, please,
10:32 pm
100-year-old woman lived right across the street from ms. breed. in my opinion, was taken with a noose from her house and she died. but after she died, she was left in a cold freezer for one month because the family couldn't afford to get her out of storage to bury her. that's the legacy of lee and breed. no way. >> clerk: thank you for your public comment. madam president? next speaker, please. >> um, i guess my condolences to the family for ed lee's passing. i guess we're talking about
10:33 pm
homelessness again and i have to go back to, who is monitoring in the city and county of san francisco the standards of care? i -- i would like some type of answer from city officials. right now, i'm under the impression it's nobody. they don't monitor standards of care. my other problem is, there's been declared a state of emergency regarding homelessness. when you have a state of emergency, it's more intense. i would like to believe that we can get reports as to what jeff kazinski is doing. is he providing more housing or is he living off the coat tails
10:34 pm
of what was done? i would appreciate if you would start asking some questions. i'm wondering about -- i guess i'm just very, very traumatized because i'm a victim of how the shelters abuse people and get a free pass. the committee doesn't have the tools to properly monitor the shelters. i mean, if a crime happens in a shelter and the shelter monitoring gets it, all they can do is issue a report. they don't have -- they can't interview staff. they can't get video. i mean, they're under the whim of -- >> clerk: thank you, sir, for your questions. madam president? >> councillor breed: any other members of the public that would
10:35 pm
like to provide public comment? seeing none, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, let's go to the closed session, please. >> clerk: item 38, approved on october 21, 2017, continued from december 5, 2017. authorizing the board of supervisors to convene in closed session today, december 12, at 3:00 p.m. with the department of human resources regarding the labor negotiate augustses of the open labor contracts. >> councillor peskin: in light of the mayor's passing, i would like to continue this item to our meeting of january 9. >> councillor breed: supervisor peskin has made a motion. seconded. can we take the continuance without objection?
10:36 pm
it passes unanimously. madam clerk, let's go to those items for adoption without reference to committee. >> clerk: items 63 to 66 considered for adoption. roll call vote on items. if a supervisor does not agree, an item can be severed, considered separately. >> councillor breed: roll call vote. >> councillor farrell: aye. >> councillor kim: aye. >> councillor peskin: aye. >> councillor ronen: aye. >> councillor safai: aye. >> councillor sheehy: aye. >> councillor yee: aye. >> councillor breed: aye. >> councillor cohen: aye. >> clerk: nine ayes.

10:45 pm
policy and programming director. last week, at the december 5th board meeting the motion to approve the item did not pass after considerable discussion at the board. the commission generally agrees with the programming of the funds to the street resurfacing but the commissioners couldn't agree on the second part of the recommendation to transfer on the $4 million in prop k funds programmed to street resurfacing to manage lanes environmental phase. the board requested to see more evidence that the managed lanes would improve congestion without negatively impacting freeway corridors or local streets and a more holistic approach to congestion and other areas of concern. in light of the robust discussion, we have advised staff recommendation to only approve the proposed programming of the state funds to street
10:46 pm
resurfacing projects and this is a request to approve on first read to meet the state's timeline of december 15th of when we need to submit the applications to the california transportation commission and we would defer action on the fund exchange to provide more time for staff to complete planning studies and address commissioner's concerns. there's a list of street resurfacing projects funded by the state funds and a map that you can't see particularly well -- yes, you can see it. >> if we were to approve this as revised given the december 15th date, this would be the final approval, not the first read, is that correct? >> that's correct. it would be approval on first read. >> is there a motion? made by commissioner farrell,
10:47 pm
seconded by commissioner tang. colleagues -- are there any members of the public who would like to testify on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. and on the item as revised, same house, same call, the item is finally approved. next item, please. >> clerk: item 11, programming 2.813.264 to the san francisco municipal transportation agency non infrastructure project, this is an action item. >> i want to start by briefly thanking colleague commissioner tang and her staff and my staff who listened to i think very sophisticated discussion we had here a number of months ago. i want to thank tilley chang and the ta staff and miss lafour but
10:48 pm
particularly commissioner tang, she did a lot of the heavy lifting. with that, commissioner tang? >> thank you. i echo my thanks to the ta staff and as well amber crab as well. i just encourage our colleagues to look through the packet. there is a revised organization chart where you can see the new structure for the program. so we have decided to move everything to fall under the sfcta because i think it will work more well with the schools and needs brought to our attention and so i think all schools will benefit from this change. we have found a way to address this without reducing any of the funding to the nonprofit partner
10:49 pm
agencies. i think overall the out come was great and i look forward to continuing the discussion another day. >> thank you commissioner tang. i neglected to thank the mta and department of public health and san francisco unified school district for really coming to quite a number of meetings and being willing albeit with a little reluctance at first, to restructure this. and thank you commissioner tang. is there a motion to approve item 11 made by commissioner tang. seconded by commissioner yee. any public comment on that item? thank you. thank you to all of the nonprofit participants for your understanding, i know you all got a little nervous at the beginning, but i think you'll see a program that not only
10:50 pm
allows you and your staff to continue the good work they're doing but will make it a much more efficient program. with that, seeing no public comment. public comment is closed and on the motion, same house, same call, item 11 is approved. mr. logan, would you upset if we continued item 12? all right. is there any public comment on -- would you read item 12 alberto. >> clerk: update on the transportation network company landscape and regulation in california and across the country. >> is there public comment on item 12? seeing none, public comment is closed. is there a motion to move to the first meeting in january. we'll take it without objection. is there introduction of new
