and in san francisco and he believed everyone should have a secure place to call home which is why one of his first campaigns was for the housing trust fund that has invested millions of dollars in rehabilitate i rehabilitating affordable and efforts to rehabilitate and rebuild over 7,000. he always said he didn't want folks like him and me to be known as public housing resident, but to be known as san san francisco residents. and those suffering from mental health and substance abuse. and he explored every option and embraced any idea that could

help move people off the streets into safe, stable situations. where they could be on the right path to health and recovery. mayor lee believed in the power of opportunity. a rebuilt home, a reborn community, could inspire individuals to reach for their dreams just like he had. he believed in the city where a poor kid from public housing could become mayor. ed was not a politician. he did not always deliver the best sound bite or carry the room with unspoken charisma. flash never mattered to him. disagreements never deterred him. he was humble and determined no matter the job he held, he was fair and collaborative no matter the heat of the moment. what mattered most to him always was helping his fellow

sanfranciscans and occasionally delivering the almost perfectly timed corny joke. mayor lee endured many tough political battles, but they never -- they never dimmed his spirit. opponents may have disagreed with him on policy, but everyone agrees that our mayor was a good man with a good heart. he believed above all else in building bridges and solving problems. everyone who had the pleasure of working with mayor lee will miss him tremendously. from the members of the board of supervisors who are here with me today to the community advocates who worked alongside him, and the san francisco residents for whom he served with all his might. the flags in our city will fly half mast for the next 30 days. our first chinese american

mayor, a man who has left an immeasurable legacy for the city and county of san francisco. and i now must assume the responsibility, and i ask for your patience and i ask for your support. and i ask for your prayers. our city's values have never been more important, and in the months ahead, let's carry on in mayor lee's honor. he has earned our affection because he was one of the sweetest men any of us have ever known. and he will be truly missed. thank you, all, for being here. and we will have dr. erlick talk about what happened at the hospital. [please stand by]

and we attempted life-saving measures for several hour. he died at 1:11 on the morning of tuesday, december 12, this morning. we expect the medical examiner to determine the cause of death and his family has asked that we share no further medical can information at this time because of state and federal privacy laws. we need to respect their wishes. thank you very much. >> thank you, doctor. and i want to thank all of the

department heads, all the city staff, all the commissioners and elected officials, our lieutenant governor and former ma -- mayor, gavin newsome is here, thank you all for being here to bring the city together at this trying time. i'd like to ask our city attorney to talk specifically about what comes next. as you all know, i am currently the acting mayor and will assume that responsibility and our city attorney can provide further details as to what will happen in the months to come. >> thank you, ma dad mayor. i would first like to echo the sentiments and the condolences of mayor breed and dr. ehrluches and the entire community about the profound sense of loss that all of us feel on the passing of mayor lee and i'd like to offer my condolences spufically to his

wife and family and just to let them all know that i hope -- i know that the entire city family will be there for them as they go through this difficult time. you heard dr. ehrlich talk about mayor lee passing at 1:11 this morning. under charter section 13.101.5b, at that time board president london breed assumed the duties of acting mayor. she has all the powers and responsibilities that come with the office. and she will have all of those duties until such time as the board of supervisors votes on a successor, should they choose to do so. although they are not required to do so. in any event, there will be an election june 5, 2018 where

the next mayor will be chosen to fulfill the unexpired term of mayor lee and that term will end on january 8. 2020. that is a very broad overview of where we are now. mayor breed has all the powers and responsibilities and duties of acting mayor. by virtue of her position as board president. and what occurs over the course of the next several months will be derped by what actions, if any, the board of supervisors chooses to take. with that, i'd be happy to take any questions that anybody has about the process. >> reporter: [inaudible] will the board of supervisors voting on this matter today? >> no, they will not be. >> reporter: what was the question? >> will the board of supervisors be voting on this matter today and the answer is no. >> reporter: is there a

timeframe for the board to vote on an interim mayor? >> the board does not have to talk any action and there is not a timeline. and for that entire period of time, should they choose not to take any action, mayor breed will be both the acting mayor and the president of the board of supervisors. she has her position as acting mayor by virtue of her position as president of the board. >> reporter: so, just to clarify, there will be no additional [inaudible] appointed? >> there will not be. mayor breed has both positions. she still continues to have her board of supervisors position and president of the board and she is the acting mayor. >> yes. i have a question. in june of 2018, when does the new candidate have to have their filings for the election?

>> yes. that -- that is something that obviously has not been top on our list. but that is something that we're examining, filing deadlines. we've been focusing on making sure that we had a smooth transition to ensure that there was a continuity in city government. >> reporter: so there's nothing in the charter that indicates that at all? >> i've given my answer. >> any other questions for mayor breed? >> reporter: as acting mayor, do you have any plans for the [inaudible]. >> [inaudible].

>> our city attorney has already made that clear for now. i am currently still the supervisor of district five as well as the acting mayor until at such time the board decides if they would like to make a decision to select someone to fill the term until the next election. >> one more question. >> reporter: can you talk about personally what he meant to you. anything you can learn from him? the biggest legacy for the city will be? >> i worked with and have known mayor ed lee for over 20 years and what i appreciate about the mayor is his commitment to public housing mostly because when i became a member of the board of supervisors, i made it clear that was -- he asked my top three priorities and i said public housing, public housing,

public housing. as someone who grew up here and spent most my life there, mayor lee, very similar situation, we bonded over that. and looking at robert pitts and looking at it going from this place that was completely falling apart to just painted walls and new fixtures and how beautiful it looks and the fact that he really was stead do you on helping to make this happen is really what i will always remember about him. his commitment to tune out the noise and focus on trying to get the job done and i really will always appreciate him for taking my praourty seriously and helping to get that work done. he was a dedicated and committed public servant and i will never forgot him for that. thank you, tara. >> thank you, everybody. that concludes the press conference.

>> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity.

i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education.

we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco.

i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban

environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made

a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to

overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening that

>> welcome to the regular meeting of the san francisco ethics commission for december. i'll call the roll. vice mayor -- well, it could happen. you could be elevated right now. [roll call] >> so everybody's present. we'll now have public comment on matters appearing or not appearing on the agenda.

>> i'm bob planthold. i want to say that during the time off that you have over this holiday season and in the next few weeks, it is time to congratulate yourself but also to take stock and see what else is ahead of you. not just in the work plan, but what you've done so far. is it adequate? appropriate? responsive? specifically on the accountability act. i think you passed something that was too pharaoh in its application by only applicable to a commissioner for groups, agencies, people with business before that commission. the very fact that there haven't been problems reported is because there was no such prohibitions before. i can see scenarios where somebody from such as let's say the fire commission could go to contractors who may be having business before building inspection commission or human rights certifications and seek some donations.

and a commissioner from one of those other two going to people appearing before the fire commission. i can see a back and forth cross channeling of efforts to raise money. so, i think it's still too narrow and there is going to be a lot of you scratch my back and i'll scratch yours fls you revisit this and considering that the suits will have their bite at the apple, whenever it comes back, whatever changes they suggest, maybe you re-open the narrowness of this commission prohibition on these. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, chair and members. 14 year ago, voters passed prop-c requiring board of supes

to enact a whistleblower act to protect those. and in 2015, the civil grand jury issued its report saying that the whistleblower protection ordinance is in need of change because board of supes had failed to carry out their mandate to pass a genuine -- to pass amendments that would genuinely protect city employees. nearly three years after the grand jury issued its report, there's still been no action. this commission approved your wplo amendments on march 28, 2016 and you submitted them to the board of supes. the jury's recommendation, 1.3, clearly stated that if the board failed to act, this

commission should submit wplo amendments directly to the voters. the board has failed to act for over two years. so, you should act quickly and place wplo ae.s as you had submitted them to the board on to the june 2018 ballot before the february submission deadline. amendments ethics submitted had recommended providing anti-retaliation protections to complainants who make disclosures to county, state and federal agencies. the supervisors removed that provision and you should act to reinstate it. along with other protections you have included in the amendments that the supervisors have further deleted.

as judge claudia wilkin noted during the wrongful termination lawsuit, it's long past time that the language in sunshine ordinance section 67.22d, and 67.22e, that provide first amendment protections to city employees should be and must be replicated into the whistleblower protection ordinance section 4.115a. this commission should ensure those first amendment protections are added to the wplo. city employees have first amendment rights and it needs to be expressley stated in the

wplo. thank you. >> thank you. >> public comment? no one else? [inaudible]. >> good evening, everyone. and as i stated in the police commission in the same room last week, i wanted to give my condolence to mr. ed lee. i've been knowing mr. ed lee longer than anybody that's been talking about him. i knew him years before he got into politics. i knew him when he was -- came -- jesse jackson flew into town. he and maple tang was with the rainbow coalition. at that time i was the executive director of the way pac area project committee, which is the most powerful black organization in the united states. it was the first p.a.c. that fought against the urban renewal and justice herman.

and ironically i'm reading in the paper today, there is some real estate guy and talk about having fake news, al term tiff news, talk about a real estate guy that wants to try to rename justin herman after ed lee. now i respect ed lee. but o to the hell to the no because the stories haven't come out about ed lee yet. not one black official except for london b who i call queen b and willie brown had anything to say good or bad about ed lee. but i am giving respect until they bury the man because i know his kids to talk about the real ed lee that knows me, a.c.e. i'm here basically to this agency, i very much respect y'all and make sure we gonna roll together. because the correction is still here in the city by the where

everybody thinks everything's ok. and now we have queen b. at the top of the heap? we still think they're going to hear from me simply because she happened to look like me? i don't give a damn, whoever sits in room 200 is going to have to hear of what the ex-mayor, the next governor newsome said about the outmigration, which the black -- not the african american migration, it's the black outgration. i ain't african america. never been to africa. we have to differentiate when we get to the 2020 census to talk about african americans and black. if you eliminate our race, our population is damn down like this. so, my name is ace and i'm on the case and i'm on the case. i respect. rest in peace, ed lee. but dammit, what happened to the [inaudible] street. now i'm here to speak with y'all because i very much support y'all.

y'all the only agency that i have to bid some corruption, bring it back to where it's supposed to be. pay to play. y'all need to turn in the pay the other way. a lot of them, including my black people, are turning the other way and they know corruption is going on. anyway, got five seconds. glad to be here. rest in peace, ed lee. >> thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm larry bush from friends of ethics. i would just start by noting that i've known ed lee for over 30 years. we starteding to working in mayor agnuos's office where he was the first whistleblower, ironically. and he headed up the human rightses commission where he stood firm against rigging contracts. he was not a person who believed in corruption. he was a -- someone who did not have so much of a vision for

the city as he was good at implementing visions that others have. which may explain how he ends up being in the news stories for a pay to play episode back in the 2015 election. and i brought copies of tease articles because this is not about ed lee. this is about a political infrastructure at city hall that operates for the benefit of political insiders. and it does so by threatening peoples' contracts and threatening their approvals. and they are spelled out pretty clearly with the mayor's own staff being quoted in the stories saying that there has to be a penalty for disloyalty to the mayor. if you contribute money to the person who's the mayor opposes or if you don't support the person the mayor does support. if the list -- an extensive list of lobbyists, city contractors, city unions and

others who were called to this meeting and told that they had to get money with ron conway saying that he could not write the checks he had in the last election because it wouldn't look good. but if he had money, he would give money to their personal causes, to compensate them for having given in a political cause. so, i'm asking you, in this meeting today, to set a hearing at your next ethics commission meeting to find out exactly what people will tell you on the record, under oath, because at this point, my conversations with the city attorney, dennis herrera that when he went to find out the facts he was unable to get people to testify about it. which is odd because it is on the front pages of every newspaper. people would talk to the reporters and not to the enforcement officers. and they said they didn't want to talk to the city attorney because they didn't want to get

caught up if an investigation. i think the ethics commission has an important role to play. because this is not about someone soliciting, but about people who have business before the city of all kinds and i think that it's appropriate that this now be put on the agenda. thank you. >> thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i support mr. bush's statement whole heartedly. i, too, have heard that story and it's something that you may have heard about. but i think you need to be briefed on. in case you have not been informed about it or, as a unit, informed about it. i brought my christmas presents

today and distributed them to the members of f.o.e. since they were bitcoins, i decided not to give you your copy of it. and i just wanted to let you know i don't want any conflicts of interest between us, especially starting in the new year. i do also want to tell you that i attended the represent us meeting last week. they had a bit of a get together with new members and we discussed the fact that you were changing your calendar and they were all very disappointed because all of them clearly were working individuals who would not be able to easily attend meetings at 1:00. not that that should stop you at all from doing so because i understand the constraints that you're under. but i do want to say that really speaks to the need for your educator outreach representative to figure out a

mechanism to involve people like r.u. members who are not able to regularly attend your meetings and my thought is that that is the way that r.u. trains or introduces their membership, new members. to ethics about corruption in san francisco and they bring their new members to these meetings for that purpose, expressley for that purpose. and the new group of attendees the other night were looking forward to attending these meetings until i told them that they were switching the calendar. theres a mechanism that you can regularly meet with the newcomers to groups like r.u., the younger people that are working because we do need desperately to cultivate

younger individuals in this process of watchdoging ethics in the city. all of us are getting old and, as you can see from the canes, we're getting disabled and not that our enthusiasm has waned, it's our body tas are giving out. so, that is the comment i wanted to make was that it's very important for us to nonetheless reach out to the younger members of the city, particularly the working professionals or even individuals. any individual who's interested if participating in this process and keeping an eye out on the government and a the city because obviously we desperately need it. thank you very much. >> thank you. any further public comment? if not, then we'll move on to agenda item number three. discussion and possible action on the draft minutes for the commission's november 27, 2017 regular meeting.

the minutes are attached to the notice. commissioners, any -- >> chairman, i note occasion of a comma on page -- or item three, which i marked a misspelled word under item four and with those changes, i would move for adoption of the draft minutes. >> commissioner? >> i just wanted to thank whoever it was at the staff level that prepared these minutes because they were very responsive to the comments that i had made about the lack of information. i felt they were -- i was very pleased that i think these are

very -- the minutes really captured what went on. and i look forward to your continuing in that process. >> and i'll second the motion. >> all right. and i would associate myself with the commissioner's remarks in regard to the minutes. they are excellent. all those in favour of adoption of the minutes? >> aye. >> opposed? motion passes unanimously. with item number four, discussion and possible action on revised regular meetings scheduled, proposed for the commission bylaws change. there iss a detachment from the december 8, 2017 staff report and other attachments. >> i regret that it is déja vu all over again. this is an item that, as you know, the commission took up

last month and unfortunately following that commission meeting we realised that we did not have complete information and we made an error. this is back on your agenda for a possible bylaws change again, to clarify the following. mission meetings as proposed in this bylaw change would supersede last month's change and based on room availability in city hall, as well as on the ability to cable cast live, fully the commission's meetings, we needed to make a room change and time change. the room and the time that we -- the commission approved last month would have provided for televised broadcast, but not for the duration of the meeting. that is something that we overlooked. apologies. when we triple checked and quadruple checked the calendar. the bylaws rules proposed in this memo would provide for a regular meeting date on the third friday of
