how is each department treating women with respect. we owe them a justice system that restores their sense of dignity and wholeness. i look forward to the hearing and will work with the city attorney with legislative solutions to this critical issue. the rest i submit. >> supervisor safai: i rise today on two issues. one near and dear to my heart and culture. in honor of persian new year, today is the first day, the vernal equinox, celebrated by 17 countries around the world, 22 ethnic groups. it's a cultural celebration that dates back over 3,000 years. i'm very proud to say we will have the 14th annual noruse, meaning "new day" celebration here at city hall on friday.

any of you want to come by this friday evening, you will get to see a small taste of our culture. i'm very, very proud to be a part of that and celebrated this new day or new year celebration since i was a small child. in iran, they celebrate and around the world for 13 days. it's similar to the lunar new year in the sense that families get together, share gifts and stories. a big part of the culture is poetry. and a big part of the culture is in many ways it predates any religious aspect. so it's nonsecular religion or celebration. so very, very excited about that. if we could end in honor of that today. secondly, an ordinance that we've been working on for two years. supervisor ronen and i had a meeting when we were not supervisors to talk about the frustration that many small

retailers and small business owners have faced when confronting the bureaucracy here in the city. and this is accessory use catering that will be allowed in limited restaurants. think cafes, bakeries, oftentimes these businesses have kitchens. they use the kitchens for a small portion of the day and traditionally, they've worked with catering businesses to rent out that space. many of the businesses have confronted our city's bureaucracy and have been thwarted. one business in particular when supervisor rosen and i met about this a couple of years ago when we were not supervisors, as i said, was la evict -- la victoria bakery in the mission. they were simply trying to memorialize a practice that they have done all the way backlit --

literally to the '60s and the last time that the democratic convention was here, they were catering all over san francisco. they were confronted with obstacles such as, you have to provide products in the front of the store. you have to have a limited number of them. there's all these confusing aspects between the department of public health and the planning department. i want to commend the planning department for working with me and we came up with some very simple clarifications. it would be limited to restaurants. bakeries, cafes. we don't want to discourage or encourage restaurants and limiting their time of operations to encourage them to do this. we've want them to enhance an

existing business confronted by so many aspects in this environment being a small retailer. we want them to use their space in a positive way so that they can support their businesses and support the caterers that might not necessarily have the startup capital to have a brick-and-mortar space. i'm excited about this introduction. i know supervisor ronen wants to be a co-sponsor and we'll talk about this over the next few months, but we're very excited about this, colleagues. rest i submit. >> supervisor sheehy: submit. >> supervisor tang: i have a couple of pieces of legislation. one of them has to do with also trying to address the issue of affordable housing in accessory dwelling units in san francisco. i know it's been a hot topic and has been raised by several colleagues as well. i do feel that adu's resolution

for neighborhoods that they can fit into the character of a neighborhood providing affordable housing and allow for multigenerational families to live together and hopefully, again, at a more affordable rate. i know it's been challenging for many of the units to be approved through our cities, the processes, the requirements or the permitting in general, and so today i'm introducing help for homeowners to build more adus more easily. we want to remove the barriers to adu approvals and expand eligibility requirements. to do so, we'd like to ask that, first of all, at pro-app meetings that all relevant department staff be present during a project sponsor's

pre-application meeting including dbi, fire and planning. this will eliminate the confusion that project sponsors go through to understand the requirements they need to meet. we want to allow the addition of adus in new construction to three or less. remove requirements that have been hindrances for building adus like street tree requirements or bike parking. we believe that the city has other ways of doing this. so those are some of the main elements of the first piece of legislation. we're also going to be drafting very shortly legislation to figure out how it is that we can allow for more, what we're calling and dubbing, adu infills in corner lots, areas that we think are perfect for adus and can solve for a lot of our

housing challenges. secondly, i'm introducing a legislati legislati legislation that supports sex worker immunity. it would provide protections for sex workers that want to come forward and report a crime of violence perpetrated against them during the act of prostitution. and lastly, i did want to also -- apologize -- introduce a resolution declaring march national kidney month in san francisco. and we also want to thank city attorney who had helped us write this legislation that personally had some experiences with kidney transplants as well, but also wanted to send our in memoriams

to the family of matthew wolfram. >> supervisor breed: can you read public comment? >> clerk: now is the opportunity for the public to address the board of supervisors for up to 2 minutes on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board to include the february 13 meetings and items 22-26 on the without reference. public comment is not allowed when an item has been subject to public comment at a board committee, pursuant to the board's rules of order, direct your remarks to the entire membership of the board of supervisors and not to individual members or to the audience. speakers using interpretation will be allowed twice the amount of time to testify. and to display your document on the overhead projector, clearly state such to sfg-tv and remove the document when you want it to return to live meeting.

>> i'm here today to take care of representation of the females as well. i'm here to represent the females who are victims of crimes. san francisco police department and district attorney's office in my view has about 1,000 rape kits who have not been tested and just sitting in the store room the police department has refused to take $2 million in grants. more cases of rape have statute of limitations of 10 years. i move that you incorporate that the statute of limitations has exceptions to the rule and i like taos to be passed to all females that think they cannot come forward because the statue of limitations has ran out. it's called continual injury and

it should be applied to all the females that was raped by bill cosby and other high-profile cases. moreover, 2 million, most of which have gone to the police department for testing, rape kits have fell outside the statue of limitations. still, they should be applied, okay? during this time frame, there was 437 rape kits older than 10 years and this is discrimination based on sex because you process male victims of crime, but female victims of crime, the evidence just sits there. it's not fair. another violation that takes place section 334.13 of the community law says 15% of brand-new buildings is supposed to be for low-income and

affordable housing. but yet when you build the building, you don't include those people. >> supervisor breed: thank you, mr. white. thank you, sir. next speaker, please? >> good afternoon. in regards to a recent fire in north beach, unless the fire chief can come up with an excuse for the delay and the slow response of extinguishing the fire, she needs to be terminated. her position is at the pleasure of the mayor. we need someone like ms. hayes was 15 years ago. many times the leadership has been under criticism. we cannot let this go on.

it's not about no one killed, no one hurt, just another building on fire. this fire could have taken just as many lives as the pulse nightclub and warehouse combined. san francisco could have suffered a permanent black eye. there need to be two independent investigations after the arson investigation to decide whether a building need to go. and who was waiting for the wheels to be greased by the insurance company. district attorney george gascon may need to be notified. we listen to president trump's repetitive talk about sanctuary cities. why didn't the interim mayor show up to shake hands with the victims of the north beach fire, but made it to the fire victims in the suburbs? if the mayor will separate himself from lower-class neighborhoods, versus the

suburbs. thank you. >> supervisor breed: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> i'm ollie. i'm a 30-year taxi driver. four or five years i followed the situation. the taxi drivers, i want everybody in here to know how we're suffering. i'm in here to scream. i cannot handle it. i cannot take it anymore. i am not the only guy. i come in here again and again. i'm 65 years. they force me to buy the medallion. after 30 years, give it to me free, please. i want to get my money back. you guys have to be issued

something, not me. we don't want to be a driver. we don't want to get out after 50 years. i cannot do it anymore. please figure it out. do something this year. we're mentally, physically sick. there are working 100 hours a week. they're divorced. people get heart attacks. two weeks ago, i told you, cab drivers get heart attacks. mta is not doing the job. they cannot do it. you guys have to issue maybe the bond. i want to get out, please.

i don't want to die like that. i'm suffering so much. i have been in this country 50 years. i have to be retired. i cannot do it. please. >> supervisor breed: thank you. thank you for your comments, sir. >> thank you. >> supervisor breed: next speaker, please. >> i just wanted to say congratulations to women honored today and thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak. first i'd like to say that i'm a sole proprietor women's-owned district, graduate of san francisco state and california native. concerning the vote on the fur ban, 171317 --

>> supervisor breed: ma'am, i'm pausing your time. that item has had its public comment requirement met. >> this is regarding an amendment. can i read my peace? >> supervisor breed: if you can talk generally, but generally there is no public comment on items that have had their public comment during the committee. you can submit anything you have in writing to the clerk to distribute to the entire board of supervisors. >> okay. i didn't understand that it pertained to my business or i would have spoken i only found out today that it pertained to my business. >> clerk: we're happy to take your comments and -- >> supervisor breed: you can speak of it generally but not about the specific legislation and you can talk about your business and what your business does and the impact of things in general. >> now? >> supervisor breed: if you want to take a minute to compose your

thoughts, we'll come back to you. unfortunately, we've taken public comment for this and can't allow anyone to comment specifically about the item at this time since it's already occurred. you can step to the side and we'll have someone explain to you and then we can figure out how way can make it so that your information is submitted into the record. >> all right. thank you. >> clerk: next speaker, please? >> good afternoon. i drove taxi 24 years. i'm 55 years old. i don't have much energy to do this. so i brought two topics. my first is that taxi driver funds by medallions.

and even six months before or one year before. i know it's not much money, but it belongs to medallion buyers, because they paid 5% or 20%. so we have the license. we need help. so second is, as you know, each medallion costs like $250,000. 8 years ago, it was based on the right -- sorry. all the taxi drivers have been punished. they didn't protect our

businesses. since 2012, uber and lyft is hurting drivers. 10% to 15% business is left for taxis. we cannot survive this we drive 16 to 20 hours a day. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. >> supervisor breed: your time is up, but thank you for your comments. sir, your time is up. sir, i'm sorry. thank you. next speaker, please. to members of the public, i

apologize, but we have to give everyone the same amount of time. thank you. >> good afternoon. the topic is the same about the taxi. and the taxi drivers are hurting and i don't think some of the board of supervisors have any intention whatsoever but i admire the board of supervisors that i met last week and i got little hope that you guys will take some kind of action. and at least as much as you can. i'm sick, as can you hear from my voice, but i still go to work. i work 365 days in a year for the last two years. i never took one day off. i'm a father of four. don't you guys realize that i

need a weekend off. if you think that i do need a weekend off, then please do something. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> hi. i'm patty quadra. i'm here because i have two issues. one is just having a rent-controlled apartment and being displaced from there. nothing to do with me, but i'm displaced and i'm born and raised in san francisco. when i used to come here and speak, i recognized a lot of people in this panel here. but i don't recognize anybody here anymore. so i am talking to strangers. however, that's something that i'm trying to solve now. the reason why i'm here, i'm trying to save 115 telegraph hill. we have such a beautiful city,

but i don't recognize it anymore, like i don't recognize a lot of people here we have the golden gate bridge, the bay bridge, crooked street and transamerica building. we have more than that. now it's coit tower that's in jeopardy. you guys know about a building that's going up there. more housing that's going up there, which will probably be about $10,000 to rent a studio, which none of you guys can probably afford. well, why think that should be built. me with joseph cohen, he's the reason why i'm here. he walked into the san francisco foundation and told me about this. i'm pissed off because it's another thing under our noses. you guys know about it, but it's not out there. well, we want to build a park. we want a boys and girls club. and maybe a vegetable garden,

but i want a park. i don't want more buildings up there. 5 -- i can't believe it's going to happen by coit tower. if i have anything to do with it, i will get it done. i will not let more luxury suites go up. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. mr. washington? >> you can call me ace. i'm in your place and i know how to act now. like that song saying, i've changed. i will sing it later. i'm here celebrating women's day. i was upstairs in four or five commissioners meeting and down here for my last meeting. what i have to say is politically if that's okay. i was at a mayor's forum last night. i was very disappointed. first of all, i couldn't get in. it was on castro. and i did a little monologue before i did my show how i used to come over when i was a little boy and match movies, videos,

back then. but i couldn't get in. they said you had to have tickets to get ivenlt whatley -- to get in. what i will do, we're going to have a mayors candidates and we'll talk about black issues, youth and seniors. get ready, candidates. i'm ace and i'm on the case. i'm going to invite you to where i stay at. with london breed, the queen. politics full of tricks. they've been treating my queen pretty wrong. even though i don't agree with her politics, i don't like the way they're treating you, queen. i don't like it. and they're going to hear about it. my name is ace and i'm on the case. but let me just say this. to the mayor, oh, mark. he fit the part. he going have me come out the dark. you know what, y'all, this day is only that short. we're going to go into a new

cycle, with a two-year mayor and then a four-year. it's a new era. right now, ladies and gentlemen, i don't got no time for errors. i will be dealing with our youth, our seniors, which i'm a senior, and a small popularity, which is african-american, negro blacks. i'm ace, i'm on the case and you better leave queen alone. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please? >> thank you, supervisor breed, president of the board, rest of the supervisors. i'm mark bruno, from north beach. i want to address an issue that affects residential, commercial tenants, and contractors and property owners in our city, surprisingly, and i had the opportunity to speak privately with with supervisor safai last week, there's no requirement in the building code

to -- when work is being done to priest -- post what that work is at the site. i met privately with joe duffy, head of building department inspectors, as you know, and the assistant director of building, patrick o'reardon. and we all went through the code to find a section that would require this. there is no requirement. in new york today, and it was passed over seven years ago, what's required is very simple. "the building permit or a copy thereof should be posted in a conspicuous place at the worksite, visible to the public for the duration of the work or until the expiration of the permit, whichever is later. no such permit will be posted at any location other than the premises." and it goes on to explain what cannot be used to block the

notice to the public, what cannot be used as advertising instead of the forum. it explains because of weather conditions, perhaps this permit should be laminated. it's not expensive to laminate something. it's $2.65. the entire burden on the contractors and property owners to do what i'm suggesting is minimal. it's the cost of scotch tape and a xerox. thank you for your time. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> thank you, madam clerk. i would like to note the many feminists that have said that women have been silenced throughout history. their complaints have not been heard. and i doubt there's a single member of this board that does not count themselves as a

feminist, males included. whose job is it to silence a significant segment of the population of this city? people thought to have mental illness. people thought to need coercion in order to attend treatment. it's been well established that people thought to have mental illness have -- are able to make their own treatment decisions. and yet you are funding this organization at an astounding rate. in the time allotted to me to give you this speech, you will have handed over to them through the city another $1,000. by the time i get a chance to speak to you again in two weeks, you will have handed over approximately $3 million. this is something like 70 times all of your salaries combined.

so i'm astounded that you would do this to an organization that has no transparency, no accountability. and minimal oversight. it's a black box. and i don't think there's a personal in this room that doesn't know that the real -- that the police that patrol on the streets with their nightsticks and pistols, they're not the real police in this town. citywide case mchlt is. they're our police, our judges. our jailers. and we want freedom, madam clerk. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. are there any other members of the public that would like to address the board during general public comment? >> supervisor breed: seeing no other members of the public that would like to provide public comment, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, please ride the options for adoption without reference to committee. >> clerk: items 22-26 are being

considered. it may be severed and considered separately. >> supervisor breed: seeing no names on the roster, can we take the items same house, same call? without objection, items pass unanimously. madam clerk, please reyes the in memoria memoriams. >> clerk: the late ms. dana harrison. the late mr. matthew wilfred and shalini van hook. in honor of the iranian new year. >> supervisor breed: colleagues, this brings us to the end of our agenda. madam clerk, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> supervisor breed: thank you, everyone. we're adjourned.
