12:00 pm
san francisco resident and attorney with policy link working with no justice, no deal coalition. i also want to urge you to support the resolution pertaining to the police contract negotiations. i wanted to speak briefly on a legal point that's come up in some of the public communications around this. this is a question whether proposal number 22 is any tension with state law or normal labor practices. the city recommendation 22, city's proposal coming from this administration with the support of the board, we hope is that simply the p.o.a. agree in the future to meet and confer over policy changes that come out of policy reform process to implement the d.o.j. recommendations but they waive their right to take those changes to a closed door arbitration process where they won't have final control what policies they want.
12:01 pm
the concept that as part of voluntary labor agreement, a union could agree, as well establish and there are a couple instances in the current contract, nobody would be forcing the p.o.a., it's not with labor law, it's something they have done before or even in the current contract, i just want to really support the city or urge you to support the team in the city in, as my predecessor said keeping in mind this isn't just about dollars and cents this is about a reasonable proposal from the city and it really is going to validate the incredible amount of work put in the d.o.j. reforms to preserve the city's ability to enact them thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> i believe that's voluntary access to resources beneficial as long as they don't lead to rent seeking in the form of
12:02 pm
mandatory course requirements for landlords to attend and pay for, or landlord licensing which may be, i believe, something that senator in sacramentos are trying to cobble together. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, my name is father john, director of saint james e episcopal church. i'm here to urge your unanimous support urging the arbitration board to incorporate city proposal number 22 in the m.o.u. between the city and county of san francisco and san francisco police officers association. proposal 22 is necessary to ensure timely implementation of the u.s. department of justice recommendation for reform of the s.f.p.d. these reforms are universally
12:03 pm
endorsed by city leaders and enjoy wide spread public support. the only barrier to implementation has been the p.o.a. the fact sergeant tony montoya was sued for police brutality in the travis hall case and disciplined by the police commission after he was accused of covering up beating of a handcuffed suspect tells us everything we need to know. they aren't even trying to look like they care about it. while p.o.a. president martin halloran laments they should have worked things out with contract negotiations, i support you for a more transparent process. police union contracts should not be matters for back room deals behind closed doors.
12:04 pm
police officers are public employees subject to democratic oversight and accountability. at least they should be. please unanimously support city proposal number 22 to ensure meaningful police reform accountability and public safety. no justice, no deal. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> it might be informative for you supervisors to remind you while making police contract. insulted the former close friend mayor mark farrell because he insulted them by daring to link their pay raise to a concession aimed at getting a minimal degree of cooperation from them in the s.f.p.d. reform process. when chief scott dared to tell
12:05 pm
the truth about proposition h calling their scheme to overturn the commission's policy on tasers in favor of a far looser standard, the antithesis of collaborative reform called for by obama's d.o.j., they insulted him by calling him an abject failure, someone without a mind of his own who had been played like a cheap fiddle. then police commission president suzy loftis in a slick public relations campaign. when she dared to speak out about racism they insulted and attacked officers for yolanda williams. when officers did their duty and reported acts of misconduct that they witnessed they insulted them by labeling them
12:06 pm
snitches. when she backed a mild non binding resolution on the need to address police relations on communities of color they insulted supervisor cohen by telling her, you must have lost your mind. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> hi, my name is lauren. i was born and raised here in san francisco. my dad and my grandparents were born and raised in chinatown. i'm a resident of district 3. supervisor peskin, i called your office yesterday and asked if you were supporting this resolution, city proposal 22 and i was told you have no public opinion. i hope you vote yes on it. i want to urge all of you to support this resolution. i have deep roots in san
12:07 pm
francisco and i have been out to rallies where we have been supporting the families of people who have been killed by police, like mario woods, alex, lopez, i have seen the pain of the friends and family of these people and i really believe if the police had been implementing these reforms that these young men would not have been killed. i've been to police commission meetings with the p.o.a. is clearly against the reforms. it really breaks my heart to see that. so i hope you support this resolution. sorry, this is the first time i've been to a board of supervisors meeting. i'm just learning to use my voice. so i want to know that i could be heard. i also wanted to speak out against the sweeps of the tent encampments. sorry.
12:08 pm
that's also broken my heart. i went out to, oh my gosh, sorry, i'm really nervous. i went out to fisherman bryant wednesday morning and, sorry. [sobbing] >> clerk: it's okay. just breathe. >> help for real solutions and not just sweeping them out of their tents and giving them nowhere to go. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. thank you. next speaker, please? >> [speaking in spanish] >> hi, i'm margaret thatcher and i will be translating, i'm
12:09 pm
daisy martin with [inaudible] action. >> [speaking spanish] >> what's just happened in the community is causing a lot of frustration in the community. >> [speaking spanish] >> [through interpreter:] and i think that every institution needs a reform. >> [speaking spanish] >> [through interpreter:] i've seen as a catholic there's been reforms in my religion. and the purpose of a surgeon is to save life and know how to use their instrument. >> [speaking spanish] >> [through interpreter:] every institution needs to know its instruments and how to use them.
12:10 pm
12:11 pm
>> good afternoon, supervisors, i'm margaret stafford part of the no justice, no deal coalition, i will speak briefly because you have heard other people talk about this but i'm here to include my support for city proposal 22 to include police reform in the memorandum of understanding that's currently being negotiated. i agree with the american public health association which sees police violence as a public health issue which impacts the well-being of communities and ensuring police reform is crucial for ensuring both community well-being and trust in the police. so i hope that you all will join together in supporting city proposal 22, thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon supervisors, my name is stephen schmid, i'm here on item 40, the proposed resolution regarding the early day statute in city hall. i urge one of you, if not all
12:12 pm
of you to oppose the resolution. if you read the resolution, you will note there's no allegation of fact or law whereby a rehearing before the board of appeals should be undertaken. a lot of you are fellow attorneys and you appreciate the distinction between judiciary and legislative branch. i see this proposed resolution as an intervention by the legislative branch improperly into a function that has been duly assigned to the quasi judicial body, the board of appeals. the charter has established a commission to address these issues and the commission has acted fairly after a full hearing of all the fact. it has just argued the proposed
12:13 pm
resolution has no facts or law whereby, this body should intervene into a decision of the board of appeals. it's protected by california civil code section 857. it's against the law to destroy any piece of art, but most certainly a piece of public art that's been here for over 100 years been here longer than any of us, or this building or anything else in this historic district. it's a perversion of art to destroy art, thank you very much for your toim and attention. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> [speaking spanish]
12:15 pm
12:16 pm
support the proposals from supervisor sandra fewer. my name is luis [inaudible], cousin of [inaudible] pat. it's a shame that i have to be here to fight so that the police do their job. all of us families who are traumatized by the damage created by s.f.p.d. supervisors, do not be part of the problem. the police is destroying families. when we call them they should be helping us, not killing us. we have a lot of fear and it is a shame that in a sanctuary city this is the result. to not allow supervisors, that the s.f.p.o.a. interfere in the process of reform. supervisors, uphold the reform process of s.f.p.d. and now i will provide my own comments.
12:17 pm
>> clerk: [speaking spanish] >> i also am in support of supervisor fewer proposal number 22. it hasn't even been a week since as a member of justice luis pat and the brother of [inaudible] pat we held a 24-hour vigil outside the hall of injustice at 850 bryan in remembrance of people killed by police with absolutely no accountability. these 24 killings have happened in the context of scandal, of racist, homophobic, misogynist police force that also exhibits bigotry against the extremely poor just like lewis congrapat.
12:18 pm
it's the smallest request to ask the supervisors to ensure that s.f.p.o.a. doesn't interfere in the reform process. this is a strengthening of the democratic processes, put into place when you decided that the police commission and s.f.p.d. has specific rules. so once again, i ask you to support supervisor fewer's proposal 22. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, i'm father smith from faith in action. my family and i have lived in the mission and i've been a priest there for many years. i want to speak on supervisor fewer's resolution regarding the m.o.u. with the p.o.a. contract negotiations must be
12:19 pm
different. they come decades after rogue police officers have brutalized and killed many young people of color. the p.o.a. leadership has not only defended but actually emboldened these rogue officers. so this contract needs to be negotiated differently. more transparently for sure but also with an eye to expediting reform as this resolution proposes. it's been two years since the city committed itself to the reforms proposed by the d.o.j. but we are not seeing these reforms on the streets. after the police killings of alex nieto, lopez, mario woods, jessica williams, luis congrapat, after these horrific killings we were assured the d.o.j. reforms would end these nightmares that we could turn the page, no more young families torn apart, no more
12:20 pm
moms and dads in tears but just this january, o'neill, was killed by a rookie cop who just completed all the updated training at the academy and just a few weeks ago luis adolfo was killed by 99 police bullets by ten officers in the mission. all the promised reforms, we're not seeing them on the streets. this is the largest context of these negotiations and it requires a different approach this time. the p.o.a. must agree to cooperate with, rather than block the d.o.j.'s reforms or pay a price. [buzzer] >> clerk: thank you, kindly, for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, honorable supervisors, frank martin delegate san francisco labor council. i rise under item 39 for the
12:21 pm
purpose of informing the board and requesting appropriate action regarding the extent and the degree of the problem we are having with the association and some of its leaders. in that regard i have referenced in the past letters that were sent to our labor council by the p.o.a. i have one such letter. >> clerk: sfgtv, please. thank you. >> this was a letter sent june 2009 raising concerns regarding the decision made by the san francisco labor council in regard to sf8. i will be leaving copies for the board at the end of this presentation.
12:22 pm
the next item, we have a copy of the letter dated december 18th. excuse me. article in the journal regarding another decision made by the san francisco labor council. the letter speaks for itself. lastly, this was a letter or part of the p.o.a. out box that refers to the resolution that the association leaders had a problem with, i ask you to take a look at this. actually, we have police -- shouldn't cover police -- [buzzer]
12:23 pm
[mic cut off] >> clerk: thank you for your comments. thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is sandra dratler, i have lived in the richmond district for 30 years and reside in district 2. i love my city and want only the best for it for those who live and work here. within this desire i place police accountability and public safety as high priorities. i became aware of the no justice, no deal campaign through faith in action. i knew of the cops report when it was first requested and then issued. i was impressed with the common sense recommendations, areas where police could better serve the community while continuing to provide a safe workplace for themselves. i am dismayed to find that despite best efforts by police and community leaders claims of
12:24 pm
support by the p.o.a., little progress on implementation of the major reforms have been made. these concerns have evolved into a proposal made by the city to include in the p.o.a. contract language that addresses accountability. the proposal number 22 is an incremental change to current policy. the difference is that it is now contractual. part of the transparency we as citizens want as the city in our police force work together. i was present at the arbitration hearing when testimony of this proposal was heard. the resistance and disrespect coming from the p.o.a.'s side of the table toward chief scott and city contract negotiation team was palpable, the proposal represents an opportunity for the p.o.a. to show its good faith as important changes such as the cop's recommendations are moved forward.
12:25 pm
i ask your support in urging the arbitration board to incorporate city proposal number 22. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, john talbot, part of the chiefs working groups on the reform. i want to give a moment to give you an idea of where we are in the reform and to speak in favor of supervisor fewer's proposal. tomorrow's agenda for the review covers item 65-1, the s.f.p.d. doesn't sufficiently analyze office-citizen complaint reports -- that's the finding by the d.o.j. the answer that we are going to consider tomorrow is the s.f.p.d. should develop department [reading]
12:26 pm
12:27 pm
before the next speaker begins, i would just like to invite any other member of the public who would like to address the board during general public comment please prepare by coming to your right-hand side of the chamber. mr. gilberty. >> thank you. the overhead, please? >> clerk: sfgtv, thank you. >> we don't have a championship police department yet. we would like it. we're not there. october 27th, 2015, i submitted this plan. let's see if anything is appropriate. ben ellis act convictions, no fault cause evictions.
12:28 pm
reset long term resident rent. establish one city rent control for all and fourth, change, renters dividend. i changed that to landlord [inaudible] entering san francisco public bank renters could receive depending how long they live there percentage of the sales price. no obligation to move and new residential formula, let's put this a the mcdonald's property the city just bought. 30% open market open to the world. 10% 30-year resident/local zip code. 15% 20 year resident. seniors. 20% teachers, fire, muni, city
12:29 pm
employees, water and 20% building for the community's specific needs. low income, affordable homes, veterans, graduated foster kids, disabled, section 8. would that be appropriate today? we can't do that. it can't be done. it can't happen. diversity or integration. which ones would you rather have? which one is healthier for the city? we can't do it, we have to do it, thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. >> thank you, madam clerk. president breed, ladies and gentlemen of the board, my name is winship hillier, involuntary psychiatric outpatient in this city. some eight years ago my brain was destroyed and i am, as a result, permanently disabled.
12:30 pm
and this was done without rational basis. it was done without a compelling state purpose. and it was done without any due process whereby i would have challenged the lack of rational basis to say nothing of a compelling state purpose. so this was done by an organization funded by your body. so tell me, how am i to regard you as other than thieves, criminals, liars, murderers, and rapists? and tell me, tell me more. i want to know how i am to regard your antics in this
12:31 pm
chamber, your attention to rules, procedure and the letter of the law when you turn around and fund at the rate of over $1 million a year citywide case management community focus, which has no respect for the law. and the blood of their crimes covers your hands. madam clerk. >> clerk: madam president. >> president breed: thank you. are there any other members of the public who would like to provide public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, let's go to the item for adoption without reference to committee. >> clerk: items 37-43 are being considered for adoption, single roll call vote may enact these items or an item could be severed and considered separately. >> president breed: supervisor fewer? > supervisor fewer: i would like to sever item 39, please. >> president breed: oh, i
12:32 pm
apologize, colleagues. before we go to the items for adoption without reference to committee, is my understanding that mr. lennon is ready and we have a number of people waiting so if you don't mind, i'm going to take items 32 and 34 first. and we will go from there. and i'm going to remove the names from the roster. mr. lennon? >> president breed, supervisors, michael lennon on behalf of public works. regarding back after discussion in the hallway both showed up and submitted written comments for assessments. with respect to s.e.r.p. after our conversations we have removed seven properties from the list with 107 remaining. of those there was one settlement reached for payment plans and one paid in full and
12:33 pm
we removed another to address a billing discrepancy in the case of accelerated sidewalk abatement, we removed 24 with 26 remaining. there was one settlement reached whereby if repairs are made within the next 30 days we will waive assessment of inspection fees and move to properties to address quality control issues. i'm available to answer any questions if you have them. >> president breed: okay, colleagues. any discrepancies with item 32, specifically? no? okay, is there a motion to amend item number 32 to strike the lines, they aren't listed as lines. block 4081, 4081 online 2 and 3, do we need to read that into
12:34 pm
the record, specifically mr. givener? >> deputy city attorney john givener, you don't need to if the document is available to the public. >> president breed: based on the document given to the board of supervisors and available to the public, is there a motion? moved by supervisor yee, seconded by supervisor peskin, without objection the amendments pass. and colleagues, on item number 32, as amended, can we take that same house, same call, without objection? the item as amended passes unanimously. on item number 34? supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam president. i don't know if you noticed but almost 99% of these are in my district, i know that happens on a rotating basis.
12:35 pm
a couple discrepancies or larger questions i have, one is the 12% admin fee for recording this lien. i reached out to the recorder, she is happy to work with us in the spirit of fees and fees in this city. as you heard the majority of people who came here today are folks on fixed income. this is very long time homeowners, let me just state 100% on the record i am all about safety and all about fixing these sidewalks but in this instance this was just brought to me in the last week or so. i believe i have solutions to mitigate some of the costs to the home owners, we have money allocated in the previous year to plant trees, almost 85% of the listings don't have a tree in front of their house. we would request respectfully a 2-3 week continuance to work with b.s.m. and the treasurer's
12:36 pm
office to resolve some of these matters. i think i need to do a state specific. i will ask specifically what i want. i want to duplicate item 34, we will amend the duplicated resolution to only include district 11 addresses and we would continue the item as amended to may 23rd. >> president breed: i'm not sure that's possible. mr. givener? >> deputy city attorney, john givener. i think the idea is continue the district 11 properties so the board could act on those but approve the liens for all other properties. >> president breed: i understand that, but there's no need to duplicate the file, i believe, to do that. >> you would be adopting a resolution today approving the lien for all non-district 11 properties so you would duplicate the file to have one to pass today approving the liens for all non district 11
12:37 pm
properties and continue the duplicate to may 22nd. >> president breed: okay. and then also we would need to amend it. i will take, before you make that motion, supervisor safai, can we please first entertain a motion to strike the particular lines that are being proposed by the department of public works to amend that first? >> absolutely. >> president breed: is that a motion? seconded by supervisor ronen, colleagues could we take that without objection, the motion passes. and now duplicate the file. >> supervisor safai: yes. duplicate item 34, and amend the duplicated resolution to only include district 11 addresses and continue the item as amended to may 23rd. >> president breed: okay. supervisor safai has made a motion to, well first of all he has duplicated the file and
12:38 pm
made a motion to amend the duplicated file and we will be, basically, that sounds more like dividing the file but i guess we are duplicating for the purposes of having two files, one which includes everything except district 11, the other only includes district 11 with the idea of moving non-district 11 items forward today and the others will be continued for how long? >> supervisor safai: may 23rd. >> president breed: is there a second? seconded by supervisor cohen. may 22nd? >> supervisor safai: sorry. >> president breed: supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i feel very uncomfortable with doing a district-specific request. if supervisor safai really needs the time, i would like to move all of them to continuance for two weeks, if that's okay with the department. but i don't feel comfortable just taking out one district of addresses. >> supervisor safai: i'm fine with that.
12:39 pm
i talked to some of the other supervisors. but if they are okay with that, let's send the whole file, that's fine. >> president breed: mr. lennon, is there a problem with continuance. could you tell us what a delay could potentially mean? >> in discussion with the city attorney's office as well as the clerk's office earlier today, there did not appear to be an issue, our initial concerns were we would have to go through the reposting process to post all the properties to provide adequate notice of a future hearing but that does not appear to be necessary in this case. so with that being said, the department's amenable to continuance. >> president breed: okay. so do you withdraw your motion? >> supervisor safai: sure, if the other affected supervisor districts are fine, i'm fine with continuing the whole list. >> president breed: okay. so supervisor safai has withdrawn his previous motion. we have amended the file. and so there is a motion to
12:40 pm
continue the file as amended without the duplication to the meeting of may 22nd, 2018, is there a second? seconded by supervisor ronen, colleagues could we take that without objection? without objection this will be continue today may 22nd 2018 as amended. >> supervisor safai: thank you. >> president breed: madam clerk, let's go to items for adoption without reference to committee. we have already called those items. supervisor fewer has asked for which item number to be removed? > supervisor fewer: 39, please. >> president breed: 39. supervisor stefani? this is to remove which item? >> i was going to ask to send 39 to committee. >> president breed: okay.
12:41 pm
supervisor stefani requests to send an item to committee takes precedence over hearing that item today, so item 39 will go to committee. >> clerk: after we call it, madam president. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: item 42. >> president breed: supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: i was going to ask to sever item 42 as well. >> president breed: on the remaining items, can we take those same house, same call? without objection the remaining items pass unanimously. please call item number 39. >> clerk: item 39 is a resolution to urge the arbitration board to adopt and incorporate city proposal number 22 requiring the san francisco police officers association to request to me within 14 days of changes involving united states department of justice recommendations, waive findings if no agreement is reached into
12:42 pm
a new memorandum of understanding between city and san francisco police officer association. >> president breed: supervisor stefani? supervisor fewer? anybody want to talk about item 39? >> yes, i do. thank you, president breed. the reason i'm urging the resolution today, it's time-sensitive. the city and county of san francisco is undergoing negotiations right now as we speak and i'm happy to speak on this item, if allowed. i have some remarks prepared. may i do that, president breed. >> president breed: yes. >> supervisor yee: this is item 39. urging the arbitration board to incorporate one of the city's proposals into the memorandum of understanding between the
12:43 pm
city and county of san francisco and the san francisco police officer's association which is now in arbitration. thank you to my colleagues, cohen, lee for sponsorship on this. i understand the arbitration board may come to a resolution in the next day or two, which is why this is coming to a vote today on the without reference committee calendar. i want to be clear. this is an urging resolution, not a binding one. and i wouldn't ask the board to support something that our own human resources department isn't putting forward themselves. this resolution is supporting hard work. it's not motivated by anti law enforcement sentiment. my husband is a 35-year veteran of the police department. my husband is a five-time recipient, medal of valour, he
12:44 pm
has risked his life many, many times on the job and two of my brother-in-laws are still active police officers. i know intimately that policing is hard work. i want them to have a good contract is too, i know how important it is to the police officers and their families, this resolution is ensuring the implementation of police reform that's this city unequivocally supports and this board unanimously supported the allegations this anti-labor is just ridiculous. i haven't heard concerns about this from anyone in the labor community outside of the p.o.a. in fact today we heard public testimony from the san francisco labor council, expressing support for proposal 22 is pro-police reform, expressing support put forth by
12:45 pm
our own department of human resources, expresses support for 22, this proposal includes language that suggests changes involving any of the recommendations from the 2016 department of justice report shall be noticed to the san francisco police officer association and association 14 calendar days to respond rather than 30-day period in addition if no agreement is reached this proposal would waive fact finding and impact procedures. today's resolution is expressing support for this city's proposal and ask the arbitration board to incorporate to the extent possible and i want to repeat that. this resolution is expressing support for this city proposal and asks the arbitration board to incorporate to the extent possible city proposal number 22 into the new m.o.u. between the city and san francisco police officer association, colleagues if we can't get
12:46 pm
behind this proposal to support efforts to remove obstacles to true implementation of the department of justice police reforms, these are proposals that our own human resources department has brought forward, we may never make the changes necessary for the kind of police department that our city needs and deserves. i ask humbly for your support. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor fewer. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: colleagues, i'm also speaking in favor of this resolution and asking for a vote today on the resolution. the department of justice came in and gave the city 272
12:47 pm
recommendations about how our force is failing to provide the type of security for our residents with all the projections at the same time. this is very serious. 272 recommendations. and what we have seen in several instances specifically on one of the most important policies, our use of force policy is that the p.o.a. has used the collective bargaining process to stop the implementation of those reforms. these are reforms by the way that our own police chief wants to implement because he believes that this is right for his department and this is right for the safety not only of all of our community members but for his own police force. now our department of human resources listening to feedback from us has put forward this
12:48 pm
12:49 pm
could have 21st century policing in san francisco. and you know, it is entirely, all we are asking for with this resolution is that bargaining doesn't happen behind closed doors that impacts the safety of residents in our neighborhoods. which is completely reasonable. we are saying yes over working conditions that are valid working conditions that police officers should meet and confer but there should not be closed door sessions where the public doesn't get a chance to weigh in over policies affecting our entire department and themselves. this is completely reasonable and i would ask my colleagues to please vote on this measure today so we could get timely feedback, not only to our department of human resources but to our police chief and the arbitrator. thank you.
12:50 pm
>> president breed: thank you. supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: i think there's a lot of valid points made here today. i think this is a worthy conversation. i don't think we will come to a unanimous decision today i would like to make a motion to send this to dmit e. committee. >> president breed: you don't have to make a motion, you could send to committee. >> supervisor safai: i would like to send it to committee. >> president breed: okay, so this item will go to committee. madam clerk, let's go to item number 42. >> clerk: item 42 is a resolution to declare support for california state senate bill 1024 the animal welfare and violence prevention act of 2018 authored by senator scott wilk mandating defendants convicted of specified animal cruelty offenses to undergo mental health evaluation, humane education courses and if deemed necessary by the mental
12:51 pm
health professional to undergo mandatory counseling. >> president breed: supervisor tang? >> supervisor tang: thank you, today i will ask to continue this item for a week, given i think there will about be some amendments made at the state level addressing concerns from the a.c.l. -- a.c.l.u. >> president breed: supervisor tang has made a motion to continue until may 8th, 2018, seconded by supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. i'm glad that the sponsor of the legislation is continuing it, still reeling off the mistake made on item 39. so i would like to request that we honor this commitment to continue for a week because i'm concerned about the broad language in senate bill 1024. i don't know if you had a chance to read it but particularly the ability to
12:52 pm
terminate probation for people unable to attend the mandated mental health program is concerning and i feel contradicts file 180132 that president breed and myself, ordinance amending administrative code abolishing fines and fees, restitution costs, blah, blah, blah. senate bill 1024 would add excessive fees which includes $2,000 fine mandatory fines and fees will add up and keep citizens in the cycle of debt. they send an opposition letter to senator wilk raising these concerns and also raising concerns about due process. i'm grateful we are going to continue it, we have an opportunity to chew on it a
12:53 pm
little more, i've connected with senator wilkes office and learned the amendments made, the updates are not yet in print. so i would like to take time to consider the new language and thank you. which is the reasons i'm supporting this one week continuance. >> president breed: colleagues, it was moved to continue the meeting of may 8th, 2018 and seconded. could we take that without objection? without objection this item will be continued to the meeting of may 8th, 2018. madam clerk, please read the in memoriam. >> clerk: today's meeting will be adjourned for late jerry leonard bar and on behalf of supervisor ronen late brian quinn. >> president breed: okay, colleagues. this brings us to the end of our agenda. madam clerk, is there any further business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> president breed: all right, we are adjourned. thank you, everyone.
12:54 pm
