[reading item #13]. >> president breed: thank you. my understanding that former supervisor tom is here today and would like the privilege of the floor to speak on this burglar item. would you like to come forward,
2:12 pm
please? >> thank you. i know this is opening day and as much as he loves the giants, he wants to be here. let's hope he makes it. i look at the chamber and i'm flooded with many memories. also the day that our beloved mayor, george and our beloved supervisor, harvey milk were murdered in this very same building. very powerful feeling even though it's been a number of years. the healing has been slow. i think that this resolution before you to rename terminal one or i guess it is name terminal one after slain supervisor harvey milk is a
2:13 pm
significant moment in san francisco history. i feel like saying this is your captain speaking. don't fasten your seat belt. i'm hoping this won't be a bumpy flight. i can't tell you what this means not only to the lgbt community but to its allies. one message milk gave was let's connect the dots. when he used the preaching moment around the gay liberation movement, he deposited being clear as something very generous and something very open. and rather than turn the community inward, he asked that we turn the community outward and look at other marginalized communities and embrace them and adopt their goals as well. so, in the name of that legacy, the name of inclusiveness, i would ask for your unanimous
2:14 pm
vote today on this very, very meaningful resolution. go giants. >> president breed: thank you. and i understand that former supervisor harry walked in the room. if you would like to say a few words on this particular item, please do so now. >> what he said. [laughter] >> no, this is special. harvey when things like this happened he glowed. he fought for progressive causes and tried to make the world a better place. but what turned him on was stuff like this. this will be forever harvey milk's place. if he could come back from wherever they send people like harvey, he'd want to come here and say i used to sit here. i gave a speech up there. and this is where i did my work
2:15 pm
because this was his home. this was his greatest pride as a gay man. made it possible for gay people to be seen sitting in the chairs that you're sitting in. i was one of those people lucky enough to sit in one of those chairs as you know and it meant a great deal to me as it does to all lesbians and gay men and queers of various kinds around the world that we're still honoring him. and the vision of san francisco that inspired him and the people that he came to love and to lead. so, thank you for what you're doing. >> president breed: thank you for your words. [applause] >> president breed: and with that, i would like to call on our supervisors who are on the roster. supervisor ronen.
2:16 pm
>> supervisor ronen: can supervisor sheehy go first. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. people always made fun of my name for that, shee-hy. but thank you. how appropriate. i just want to thank supervisor campos and supervisor ronen for carrying this forward. this is really huge for our community to recognize harvey's sacrifice and people are still sacrificing. and it is really great to see tom and harry here because it has taken so many hands to build our community. and we really have been through a lot. it was a great achooufrment to get -- achievement to get harvey elected and to lose him and having to endure the aids epidemic, our freedom has not
2:17 pm
come cheaply. and so, the idea that everyone who comes to -- that people coming to san francisco will be reminded of our sacrifice and our struggle for freedom and it's interesting to watch this community continue to evolve and we're always pushing the boundaries of what it means to be an authentic human being and always trying to give as much freedom to people to be who they are. i am so glad to hear tom talk about working in coalition because that was one of the first things i learned when i came here is that it's not enough for our community to succeed is other communities do not. -- if other communities do not. within a couple of years being involved in politics i worked with doris on caesar chavez street. and that was a delight because there was another community we have been allies with that we all move forward together. so, again, thank you supervisor ronen for your leadership and
2:18 pm
please communicate to former supervisor campos my respect for his leadership in moving this forward and this is a great day. thank you. >> president breed: thank you supervisor sheehy. supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. thank you for allowing the floor to two past supervisors who are personal heros of mine. and i feel so lucky as the district nine supervisor to carry on the legacy of two great clear leaders in our city, david campos and harry. i will be proud if i accomplish half of what they have. and today is one of those big days. after four years of fighting hard. first originally to name the entire airport harvey milk airport, lots of compromise and
2:19 pm
hard work later, we are making history by naming terminal one harvey milk terminal one. and it's a great, great achooement -- achievement. thinking about the number of people who will travel through our city, see art depicting the history of the lgtbq, the hell that the community went through and demanding to be heard and recognized and prioritized. to know that kids from all across the country and the transgender community that are still facing unthinkable violence in their home community get to come here and be greeted by this name of this terminal and how we're going to fight to depict it in the most loud,
2:20 pm
proud and beautiful way through the art in the terminal is a truly amazing thing. as you all know, the naming of this airport was the idea of my former boss, david campos and i want to give him a very special thanks for his bold leadership around this idea. and i also really want to thanks supervisor sheehy for letting me continue to take the leadership david's charge on this because it could have been rightfully yours. instead we worked in partnership together and it was a really lovely thing to work on together. i want to thank you for that. and i just also want to say in a practical way the renaming of terminal one could not come at a better time. there's renovation going on at the airport of terminal one that's estimated to cost $2.4 billion. and so, we get to take that
2:21 pm
budget for the art in the airport and for the signage at the airport and be really creative to make sure that it fully and completely does justice to harvey's legacy. and i have been in conversation with the director of the sfo to ensure that sufficient space in terminal one is dedicated to focusing on the legacy and life of harvey milk. and we are going to continue to be very involved in paying attention as those artists and those installations move forward. and then i finally want to say that during this time where, you know, the civil rights movement for the lgbtq community is far from over. where there's been significant gains but to think last year was the deadliest year on report from the queer community.
2:22 pm
we have an administration in washington that is hostile. that hasn't accepted. that we are in charge of deciding what our own likes and loves and identities and genders are. and that soon one day we'll all be woke enough to realize that everyone deserves to live their fullest life how they are. and so, i just want to say what a pleasure this was to work on this item. i feel honored to have been able to work. i want to thank my office and so many of my staff from nate to katerina morales. just hope that my colleagues will join me in naming it harvey milk. >> president breed: thank you. madam clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: breed, aye.
2:23 pm
cohen, aye. fewer, aye. kim, aye. peskin, aye. ronen, aye. safai, aye. sheehy, aye. stefani, aye. tang, aye. yee, aye. there are 11 ayes. >> president breed: the ordinance passes unanimous on the first reading. [applause]. >> president breed: congratulations and thank you both for your advocacy. all right. madam clerk please call items 15 through 21. >> clerk: we have seven resolutions to approve leases with the san francisco international airport. [reading item #15, 16, 17, 18,
2:24 pm
19, 20, 21].
2:25 pm
>> president breed: colleagues, can we take those items, same house, same call? without objection, those items are -- someone is missing. oh. without objection those items are adopted unanimously. madam clerk, please call the next item. [reading item #22].
2:26 pm
>> president breed: colleagues, can we take the item, same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. [reading item #23]. >> president breed: same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. [reading item #24].
2:27 pm
>> president breed: supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. i just want to make a note that this is 100% public land and that we should be doing everything we can to make this housing a hundred percent affordable. thank you. >> president breed: thank you supervisor fewer. supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: thank you, president breed. colleagues, today i'm going to be asking for your support for resolution accepting the findings contained in the fiscal feasibility report for the proposed housing project at the balboa reservoir. it can help address the city's housing crisis. in doing so, we also need to address the impacts that a large scale housing project will have on my district.
2:28 pm
we have had years of community discussions and input, created a detailed set of development principles and parameters which serves as guiding principling for the selection of the development team and have seen the preliminary designs from the developers. during this time, i am proud to say that even though proposition k requires 33% of the housing in such developments to be made permanently affordable to low and moderate income households, i was able to push this project to 50% affordability. i would like to thank the members of the balboa reservoir, avalon bridge housing corporation, mission housing development corporation, pacific union development company and habitat for humanity for the hard work of getting us to this point. as part of the project review process, the city hired a third party consul at that point to produce -- consultant to do a
2:29 pm
feasibility analysis. in evaluating the project in accordance with san francisco strayive code chapter 29, this is a necessary step before we can do an even deeper analysis of the project through state mandated environmental review and the project entitlement process. the report findings do not permit the board of supervisors, the san francisco puc or any other agency to approve the terms of any transaction or grant -- or grant any entitlements to the developers. the project will still have to undergo environmental review under the california environmental quality act, ceqa, and project approval hearings. this means that all components of this project, including 1,100
2:30 pm
unit count that was analyzed in this report as well as affordability level can potentially be changed as the process moves forward and as we continue to define the project and its mitigations. i want to emphasize that we have been in ongoing communications with all stakeholders, including city college and as the project moves forward, focused studies will be conducted on the parking and fiscal impacts to the institution and appropriate mitigations will be developed. during the budget committee hearing, office of economic development and project sponsors also agreed to develop a turn sheet to memorialize the very facets of this project and provide accessible means for all interested parties to have
2:31 pm
accurate information for what is being proposed. i look forward to your support. >> president breed: seeing no other names on the roster, can we take this item same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. it is now past 2:30. and we have a 2:30 commendation and i would like to recognize supervisor katy tang at this time. >> supervisor tang: thank you. in light of telecommuters week, which is next week, i'm pleased to honor san francisco's dispatcher of the year, catherine, for her excellent performance as a pun lick safety dispatcher -- public safety dispatcher. i would like to bring her up. [applause]. >> supervisor tang: welcome. san francisco has nearly 180
2:32 pm
dispatchers working in the center. last year, i had the opportunity to visit the dispatch center and saw the dispatchers hard at work coordinating police, firefighter and paramedic responses. they work with intense situations, but yet must remain calm and get people critical help that they need. catherine and her husband, greg, who is a san francisco police officer at northern station, have lived in the district for nearly a decade before moving to pacifica to raise their two children, 8-year-old leah and 7-year-old layna. she has been a dispatcher for 13 years and she wants everyone to know the commitment and dedication her fellow dispatchers determine mon detroit to help those in -- demonstrate to help those in need. it was during one particular situation she demonstrated her talent and professionalism as a public safety dispatcher. it was wednesday, may 3, 2017, and san francisco reached
2:33 pm
dispatcher catherine. the officer was responding to a confrontation within a sandwich shop. within moments, she heard gunshots. although the situation was unclear, she immediately began dispatching police back-up and medical assistance. she kept all first responders informed and appropriately directed while keeping control of a very intense situation. i think it is really important to recognize all of the amazing work of our san francisco dispatchers and all the work they perform for our residents. they are the first to provide help and reassurance people need. i'm very proud to recognize catherine as our city's dispatcher of the year so we can all put a face to all of san francisco's 911 dispatchers and the work they do every single day to keep our community safe. with that, maybe if we would like to have the director speak and then catherine. thank you. >> thank you very much, supervisor. ann, director of emergency
2:34 pm
management. it is an honor to be here today. i kind of feel like i have a two-fer because you just voted for my old boss, harvey milk, for terminal one. it is so amazing to me. he used sit right there and he would have his feet up on the desk. he's dancing a jig right now. so, thank you very much. that's such an honor. but we're here today to recognize kate and the incredible work she does and all of our dispatchers in the 911 center. as supervisor tang said, they are really the city's first, first responders. we have had a tough time the last year. we were down in staffing. with your support, we have been able to have a number of academy classes, three per year, come through. and we're just really finally now finding our stride and getting to a place where we can give people a day off occasionally, which kate can testify hasn't happened in a
2:35 pm
long time. so, it's really an honor to be the director of emergency management for the city and county of san francisco. and it is such an honor today to be here to talk about kate and what a great job she has done and the fact that her family is here too is amazing. so, thank you for all the support that you have given our department over the years and that you continue to. and i'm going to turn it over to kate to say a few words. >> hello. thank you, supervisor tang, for presenting me this award. i know how to stay calm in a pressure situation, but i have never been in this situation before. if i sound nervous, i apologize. thank you for presenting this to me and my manager on swing watch, she's amazing and for kristin for organizing this. i just plugged into work about ten minutes and the officer came up and just said, clear the air
2:36 pm
for emergency traffic. he wasn't on -- i wasn't sure what he had. quickly after he was shots fired and quickly after that, it was just i need to ambulances, code three. so, i honestly had no idea what was going on. all we can do is coordinate the resources as quickly and safely as we can for the police officers, medics and for the public safety. my partner and i did that, that day. sorry. i come to find out after the fact that they were called in for a confrontation inside of the sandwich shop. they also didn't know what they were walking into. when they got inside, a man decided to jump over the counter and started repeatedly stabbing the worker in the neck. the officer demanded he dropped the knife. and when he didn't comply, he had to use lethal force. he had no other option at that point. that being said, i am here today to accept this award on behalf of all of my coworkers.
2:37 pm
we work hard every day. i'm never alone at work because i always have my partners with you. i want to say thank you to my family, leo, my son and my daughter. without them i am a nothing. greg, thank you for being here today like you are every day. i truly appreciate you and thank you. [applause]. >> president breed: congratulations, again, catherine and thank you for your
2:38 pm
service to the city and county of san francisco. we have another commendation which i will get to later on after the person arrives. but we will move our agenda forward until then. madam clerk let's go to the next item. [reading item #25]. >> president breed: colleagues, can we take that item -- madam clerk, on the item, different house. please call the roll. >> clerk: breed, aye. cohen, aye. fewer, aye. kim, aye.
2:39 pm
peskin, aye. ronen, aye. safai, aye. sheehy, aye. stefani, aye. tang, absent. yee, aye. there are ten ayes. >> president breed: the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item, please. [reading item #26]. >> president breed: same house, same call. without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. [reading item #27].
2:40 pm
>> president breed: same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. [reading item #28]. >> president breed: same house, same call? without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. [reading item #29].
2:41 pm
>> president breed: same house, same call? without objection, the motion is approved unanimously. next item. [reading item #30]. >> president breed: same house, same call? without objection, the ordinance passes unanimously on the first reading. next item. [reading item #31]. >> president breed: madam clerk, please call items 32 and 33 as
2:42 pm
well. [reading item #32 and 33]
2:43 pm
>> president breed: supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: thank you, president breed. i want to thank the conservatory for their work. to make a project work that would build hundreds of student housing. while also preserving rent controlled units that were already on the site of the building. this is an incredibly complex proposal and i was very skeptical, i have to admit, when they first came to my office. being that we have a very strong position in the city that we do not demolish any present controlled housing because we know that -- rent controlled housing because we know this is our affordable housing. i want to commend them for all of the work with their tenants assuring they will be rebuilding and replacing every single rent controlled unit one for one and ensuring rent control for those tenants and ensuring the rent
2:44 pm
control during their replacement housing, which will be next door at the -- what i always call the former aaa building. where they will stay during the construction of the project. this project will also build over a hundred units of much needed student housing who will no longer be in competition with our other residents in the regular housing market. while also building out rehearsal and performance spaces for the students and school community. much needed and will only enrich the van ness corridor known for the arts. i also want to thank the housing rights committee for their assistance in reviewing the leases on behalf of the tenants and several tenant leaders who have played a key role ensuring this is a deal that could work for everyone. there was a few technical amendments that i had made at land use last monday and i think one just didn't make it into the written record. and so, i just want to again
2:45 pm
make that amendment. it is on the development agreement, which is item number 33. and it is on page four, section three, line 13. it is simply to delete this phrase "by coordinates". >> president breed: supervisor kim has made a motion to amend. is there a second? seconded by supervisor ronen. can we take the amendment without objection? without objection it passes. >> supervisor kim: thank you. i ask you for support on items 31, 32 and 33 and i want to congratulate all the parties. >> president breed: thank you. seeing no other names on the roster, colleagues can we take these items, same house, same call? okay. roll call vote. >> clerk: on items 31 through
2:46 pm
33, and 33 as amended, breed, aye. cohen, aye. fewer, aye. kim, aye. peskin, aye. ronen, aye. safai, aye. sheehy, aye. stefani, aye. tang, aye. yee, aye. there are 11 ayes. >> president breed: those ordinances are adopted unanimously and 33 as amended. madam clerk, let's go to the next item. [reading item #34]. >> president breed: thank you. madam clerk, please add me as a
2:47 pm
co-sponsor. >> clerk: thank you, madame president. >> president breed: supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: it is simple. colleagues please support this. thank you. >> president breed: colleagues, can we take this item, same house, same call? without objection the resolution is adopted unanimously. next item. [reading item #35]. >> president breed: supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. i would like to thank the co-sponsors of this resolution, supervisors ronen, yee, fewer and kim. and also note colleagues that i have circulated an amendment that largely returns it to the
2:48 pm
version that was originally contemplated on the march 12th by the land use committee. >> president breed: i don't have a copy of that amendment, supervisor peskin. thank you. >> supervisor peskin: so, this resolution, if we amend it would urge opposition to california senate bill 827 by way of background, when it was considered by the committee, we were awaiting amendments that senator wiener indicated would be forthcoming. we have now seen those amendments and may yet be further amended. but those amendments really do not fundamentally address the issues around tenant protections. simply stated, while certainly building additional housing in san francisco is needed and throughout the region is needed
2:49 pm
and throughout the state is needed, i don't think senate bill 827, which fundamentally disempowers communities, does not actually lead to density equity. it concentrates it in some of the dens areas in the state. i think that we should send a signal as the city of los angeles recently did to sacramento. obviously it is not easy to tell a former member of this body that we disagree, but i want to send this as a signal to senator wiener as well as asemily memberer phil ting that those conversations really need to start here with the representatives of the 11 districts and the lawmakers of the city and county of san francisco. i think we should send a message of full stop. let's start this over. let's enter into real
2:50 pm
collaborative dialogue to see if there are solutions in sacramento. there are solutions in sacramento. number one is we have got land. we have shown whether it is in district three where we turned former freeway onramps and off ramps into affordable housing projects. whether it was the redevelopment of the shift yard. rezoning of market and octavia. we have 06,000 units -- 60,000 units in the pipe. we can build additional 140,000 units. usurping san francisco's authority is not the way. if the state wants to help, send us money. address the hawkins act. address the, ellis act. [applause] >> supervisor peskin: colleagues i want to thank you for your support and extend a hand to
2:51 pm
senator wiener and assembly member ting to say we are here. but a one size fits all solution in essence rezones 96% of san francisco without any community participation that doesn't do anything for more affordable housing. that further taxes transit. that doesn't have any provisions for valerie -- value, recapture. after other individuals speak, i would like to offer the amendment that would oppose senate bill 827. >> president breed: thank you supervisor peskin. supervisor tang. >> supervisor tang: thank you. believe it or not, i do actually agree with the comments that supervisor peskin made. i did in committee try to make an amendment about urging amendments versus opposing because i do think probably it is strange for -- procedurely it
2:52 pm
is odd for us to vote when amendments are being made. i do agree and believe sb-827 is overreaching in terms of not allowing local jurisdictions to have say what kind of publy value we want to recapture. i'm hopeful about amendments and have been speaking with senator wiener who indicated that amendments would be forthcoming next week. so, my only comments today are that procedurely it would be nice for us to i think have a resolution adopted after we sue the full version of sb-827. but again, if there's a desire of this board to weigh in right now, of course at this very moment, the way that the bill is written, i don't support it as is. years ago, tried working on legislation city wide around development and i'm very open minded about development on the west side of town as long as it's actually on the transit corridors.
2:53 pm
but even that conversation was very difficult. and it involved a lot of negotiations around what sort of public benefits we would get. there's none of that in sb-827. until i see those amendments, i will at this point oppose it. but again it is representative of the snapshot in time as to what sb-827 is at this moment. if it were to change that respects our single-family neighborhoods, i reserve that ability to weigh in again at that point. just wanted to share that. thank you. >> president breed: thank you supervisor tang. supervisor yee. >> supervisor yee: thank you, president breed. i'll just state it. i'm opposed to sb-827 because it reduces our ability to have a say so how developments occur in the neighborhoods. it creates a path way for
2:54 pm
building new housing without mandating any additional infrastructure assistance from the state. i believe that sb-827 in its current form will expedite gentrification. there has to be community input and we have to be able to ensure that we also meet our city's housing balanced goals by creating more affordable units that we are currently generating. this bill would almost certainly spur more luxury housing production and exacerbate the affordability crisis that we find ourselves in while doing nothing to improve the transit and parking problems. our communities have to play a central role in developing responses that develop our
2:55 pm
economic diverse city and accommodate population growth we know is happening. >> president breed: thank you supervisor yee. supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i hear the concerns and share expressed concerns. i also understand and frankly admire the spirit of the bill. there is a book that is out currently. it is called "the color of law" written by a gentleman named richard rothstein. he e procedures the session congratulations. and i see -- segregation. and it will remedy exclusion zoning and ensure all neighborhoods have a fair share of housing, particularly in a
2:56 pm
very aggressive market that we have here in san francisco. where i am concerned is that the senate bill falls short in its lack of consideration of affordability. if we really want to help san francisco's housing crisis, we have to take local context into consideration before supporting sweeping legislation that might not only change the visual character, but also and more importantly, bring limited housing stock to only -- bring limited housing stock only accessible to the ultra rich. [applause] >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you very much. i appreciate that love. but just a couple of questions that come to my mind is what would stop a developer from building an eight-story building with one bedroom condos on each floor? nothing.
2:57 pm
and this legislation is currently written doesn't address equity. i believe we need to start to move forward with a sense of urgency so there's antic quitable chance that -- equitiable vote. and i want to remind former supervisor wiener that we are here and we are our your partners. although you are in sacramento, we still need to be working together and look forward to the continued conversation. i believe this item is going to be heard in committee next week. it would be interesting to see what the folks in sacramento do with this item. supervisor peskin, there's one thing i want to point to your legislation. if you look on page 18, i'm not sure if it is a typo. but at the end of 17 it says, but does not guarantee that
2:58 pm
tenant wills find commission rat temporary -- commiserate temporary housing nor be ultimately displaced. is it supposed to be avoid displacement? it is just a grammatical question i have. you look -- >> supervisor peskin: i'm just -- >> supervisor peskin: supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, president breed. i think it works. >> supervisor cohen: okay. be ultimately displaced? >> supervisor peskin: or not -- >> supervisor peskin: nor not. [laughter] >> supervisor cohen: okay. >> supervisor peskin: thank you for catching that. when i make the motion i will insert the not.
2:59 pm
>> president breed: supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: i'm done. >> president breed: supervisor sheehy. >> supervisor sheehy: i agree with my colleagues. i think the bill is a work in progress and would prefer to have a vote not now. early in the process but actually a vote on the bill when it is finalized. we do have a housing crisis. i support what the senator is trying to achieve. i have got a 13-year-old kid. she is not going to be able to live until san francisco if we don't -- in san francisco if we don't build more housing. i think opposing this bill right now is premature.
3:00 pm
>> president breed: thank you supervisor sheehy. supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: i disagree with supervisor sheehy that now is not the right time. i believe that sb-827 even with the current amendments is fundamentally flawed and so much so that it's appropriate to go on record right now opposing it. and it would almost need to be a completely different bill for us to reconsider in my opinion. and that's for a number of reasons. number one, i don't subscribe and never have and never will believe that solely increasing supply of luxury housing will somehow eventually trickle down and create the affording housing that we so desperately need for our teachers.
