contract at the airport for four years. >> supervisor fewer: ok. thank you very much, the only reason i mention that, shymick was a construction on the tunnel with the recent fatal accident. thank you very much. >> understood. public comment -- one more thing, i just want to echo the recommendation made by the budget legislative analyst to communicate, for you to communicate her recommendation to mr. sataro to ensure that we are handling the contracts in the most efficient manner. >> understood. we are already in the process of changing how these kind of process. >> president cohen: good. a lot of conversation around your contracts on the agenda. public comment on item 8 and 9, any member of the public. all right. public comment is closed. thank you. all right. i would like month make a motion to accept the budget legislative analyst's amendments for item 8

and also approve that with a positive recommendation, and also make a motion to table item 9. if we can take that without objection. thank you, colleagues. >> clerk: item number 10, department of public health to participating the one time homeless mentally ill outreach and treatment, to outpatient service, intensive care management, residential treatment services and facility beds in the amount of approximately 3.2 million. >> president cohen: thank you very much. welcome. department of public health. >> good morning, members of the committee, madam chair. i'm with the department of public health. and i'm here on behalf of the department seeking approval to adopt resolution for the

department to participate in the funding opportunity, one-time funding opportunity under the department of health care services for a program called homeless mental ill, outreach and treatment. the program is designed to provide outreach and treatment for individuals who are homeless, with serious mental illness. available to san francisco $3 million over 18 mostly sunny. to participate in the program, submit a letter of interest and a resolution adopted by the board of supervisors by september 25th. >> president cohen: thank you very much. any questions? pretty straightforward item. no, seeing none, public comment. thank you. public comment is open for item 10. >> i believe in helping the people with mental disabilities

and homeless out in the street. but i believe the best way to provide services on a permanent basis is to take care of this problem the same way that you are taking care of the problem of homeless teachers. you put down $44 million housing bond for 100 unit apartment building complex and the same additional $44 million housing bond down for another 120 unit apartment building complex for homeless teachers. by doing the proposal here, i take it you are going to place the mentally disturbed and people with disabilities and locations like san francisco general hospital, which is only going to be a temporary treatment of the people who need help. the money would be spent more wisely by putting them in a permanent apartment building complex and staff that's from the system to have offices and locations within the same building to make sure that this

recycle of over and over and over again of getting supportive treatment and then getting kicked ot in the street with nowhere to go because you don't have your own place to live. one of the reasons why you have so many discharges of human body waste discharges in the street, and service dogs animals discharging their body waste out in the street. people need housing, not additional programs. that's one reason why we have this problem. it keeps recycling. you have navigation center, you can only stay there for a short period of time. as a result, you end up on the street again. you need your own bathroom, just like all of you have. sincerely. >> president cohen: public comment is closed, thank you very much. colleagues, a pretty clean straightforward and i want to remind you a request for one-time funding. i will make a motion to approve

with positive recommendation to the full board. thank you, without objection it passes. please call item 11. >> clerk: 11, resolution declaring a shelter crisis pursuant to senate bill 850 and authorizing the department of homelessness and supportive housing to apply for funding under the california emergency aid program. >> miss emily cohen here from homelessness and supportive housing. this item is a declaration of a shelter crisis compliant with state requirements allowing the city to apply for state funding which has been identified in our june repa lancing plan. don't worry, it's not a controversial item. it's simple request for homeless funding. floor is yours. >> as chair cohen mentioned in the 18-19 state budget process, new -- funds to be allocated to

continuum of care in large cities. through the two source, estimate san francisco will receive approximately $27.7 million in one-time homeless service funding. as part of the process to apply for the funds, we are required to declare a shelter cries i declared several times, although the previous crisis did not include the items to receive the funding. >> president cohen: thank you very much. another pretty clean and straightforward item. we are going to go to public comment on item 11. >> start my time before i even

speak. this is another example what i'm talking about. spending millions of dollars on programs when it should be spent on permanent housing. building programs, $27. million, for a program that constantly recycles people out in the street. there's nothing permanent about that. that money should be spent on building permanent apartment building complexes for people who are out in the street who you are targeting and trying to help. homeless people do not need homeless programs. homeless people need a place to live just like you do. it's disgusting. homeless is big business for people who run the homeless programs like jeff kaczynski. how many hundreds of thousands are you paying him to oversee the programs moving homeless

from one location of the city, back and forth and forth and back. when is it going to stop? do like you are doing the homeless teachers. provide a fund and apartment building complex for them to live. now, you have a modular proposal, 100 million and i object to that because those are overseas cargo ship containers, that 100 million that's proposed for that, combined with the amount of money you ask for here today is more than enough to start housing people that's out in the street. in fact, i demonstrated one time where [bleep] kaczynski, how would you house the 8,000 people and he said it would take a million dollars to house 1,000 homeless people. you take just a million dollars from the $217 billion that you -- free money from twitter and house all them people with

the money. you answered your own question. >> president cohen: thank you. any other speakers? seeing none, public comment is closed. make a motion to move this item to the full board with positive recommendation. and seeing no objections, take that without objection. thank you. >> clerk: item 12, resolution authorizing recreation and park department to accept expanded grant of 150,000 from the san francisco park alliance to benefit the department's scholarship program for the project term of november 1, 2018, to june 30, 2019. >> president cohe >> president cohen: item for approval of $150,000 grant from the san francisco parks alliance. and it raised this amount of money at the crab feed. remarkable to see it grow and grow and grow over the years, and if anyone has never attended, i suggest you get your ticket and attend, it's a fun event on the west side of the city, packed at the irish cultural center. and also want to acknowledge it

will be going to the edwin lee scholarship program which supports the low income students to help them pay for their college tuition. and lisa branston from the rec and park department to present. thank you. >> thank you, chair cohen. i want to clarify that this funding does not go to college tuition, this is for recreational programming, that the rec and park department runs. >> president cohen: thank you. >> start by saying that unfortunately, our partners from the parks alliance could not be here because they are getting ready for a party for the parks, which is saturday night, which is separate but important way we also partner with the parks alliance. so, as you said chair cohen, i'm lisa branston, rec and park department. here to request you authorize the department to accept this grant from the parks alliance, $150,000, to support the

departments edwin lee scholarship program. funds were raised at the annual crab fest on february 22nd year, and key part of the mission, enriching recreational activities to all san franciscan's regardless of ability to pay. special meaning as we remember the passing of mayor lee. the crab feed was dedicated to his memory and at the event, general manager announced we would name the department's program in mayor lee's honor. funds are an important part of the overall scholarship program that ensures all in san francisco can get out and play. last fiscal year, the department awarded more than 9,000 scholarships valued at $1.2 million. especially important for the youth programs to pursue passion

in sports, dancing and arts classes, and safe place to be during out of school hours. and some of the the department's after school programs, nearly all the children are able to be there, they pay nothing or a fraction of the regular cost. scholarships covering 50 to 100% of recreational programs are available to san francisco residents with household incomes of less than 250% of the federal poverty guidelines. to qualify for 75% or full scholarships, households must participate in two public assistance programs, such as food stamps or reside in public housing. key part of the work for equity in san francisco. for example, last fiscal year 68% of scholarships awarded to residents in areas of designated equity zones. scholarships are critical to ensuring equal access to programming in san francisco,

and the private dollars provide important support for the program. i hope you will recommend that the full board accept these very important funds. allowing everybody to get out and play. thank you very much. >> president cohen: thank you. we will go to public comment. thank you. any member of the public to comment on item 12. >> hello, supervisors, this committee. i wanted to speak on the park and rec ability to provide equity in san francisco. i wanted to talk about the deep rooted physical conflicts that stops a lot of san francisco youth from being able to participate in certain spaces, and i have like some solutions that i put forth for that, applaud the raising of extra funds to waive some fees for them. i worked at park and rec.

i saw like in the after school programs where they, if you have a child that's from 2 to 6 there, they wanted to do an initiative to expand the learning time to make use of that after school space, to reduce the achievement gap, the largest in the state. that san francisco currently has. applaud this effort but i hope that it leads to some real achievement gap reduction in combination with the school district, and in combination with dcuif. >> president cohen: any other member of the public? thank you. public comment is closed. all right. colleagues, i make a motion to approve and send with positive recommendation to the full board, take that without objection. item 13, please. >> clerk: ordinance amending the administrative code to increase the minimum hourly compensation rate for employees of city

contractors other than non-profit corporations or public entities to 15.86 per hour on july 1, 2017, 16.86 per hour on july 1, 2018, and followed thereafter, but annual cost of living increases. >> president cohen: item 13 is legislation which would allow frankly a much needed raise to minimum wage workers in the for profit sector, particularly those at the san francisco airport, who don't enjoy the higher minimum wage and it's a very long time coming. originally heard in may of 2017, almost a year and a half ago, and was sent to the full board with the positive recommendation. since then, members of the board of supervisors engaged with the

labor leaders, and hear from them during public comment and heard from partners, the employers and the contractors across the entire city and how we can give a deserved wage. meantime, workers at the airport have been waiting very patiently, very patiently and have sacrificed a great deal. along with our labor partners, we are committed to moving this legislation forward. minimum compensation ordinance for our airport workers, i wanted to see if there's any colleagues that have any questions or remarks or anything they wanted to add. supervisor fewer, you have been pretty vocal and instrumental in this legislation. >> supervisor fewer: yes, thank you chair cohen. i'm thrilled to see this is moving forward, the airport workers have been working hard and also waiting patiently for

this raise. i just would like to note this raise actually brings them up to 15.86 to 16.86 per hour, which is still below a living wage for anyone living in the bay area or anywhere near san francisco. so yes, looking forward to this passing and thank you very much for your assistance, chair cohen. >> president cohen: and we got better news, instead of 16.86, bump it up to $17. nice round numbers, why not. all right. let's go ahead and take public comment. any member of the public that would like to speak, mr. wright, why don't we -- mr. wright. ok. the floor is yours, mr. wright. go ahead. >> good morning, members of the committee, rudy gonzales, san francisco labor council and the

pleasure of one of my counterparts and the jurisdiction and the work connects mostly around the airport, and the affiliates we represent who represent the rank and file workers there. specifically local 2, teamsters, even some machinists and other affiliates. what this represents today is really a step forward. it is not the demand that many people made back in april when we were here before this committee before, but i think it is a step in progress and important and the workers counting on this will be watching this vote and will be i think excited to hear the news when it comes down. it's significant. i think i'll echo what supervisor fewer said, it is not truly a living wage, it's frustrating behind the scenes, and includes chelsea, on much deserved maternity leave right

now. so anyway, the move here i think is important. i was looking at the m.i.t. living wage calculator and looking up based on some of the members i have met through this problem sesz and for a single income earner, one adult, one child, in san francisco, they need about $38 and change an hour for truly living wage. this is not getting us there, but it is an important step in that direction and appreciate the leadership that's been taken and i think you will hear that echoed by my colleagues today. >> thank you. >> good morning, julie lind, head of the san mateo labor council where your airport lives. happy to be here to support rudy and the san francisco labor council and his leadership, and thank all of you for your leadership and to recognize the partnership by the san francisco airport, i see several staff members here, including emily from social responsibility and

bill wong from the quality standards program. our members that our jurisdiction shares with rudy have been waiting patiently for quite some time and look to you now and thank you for the $17. it is a lovely round number and way more easy to math, so, nicely done. and look forward to seeing this legislation pass with a positive recommendation to your full board and hoping to see these members with the increased wages in their pockets as soon as possible for the betterment of ourselves and families and the shared community. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello, ben sizemore, local 1021, field representative for them, represent mostly city workers and also have one non-profit community housing partnership. who is here to support the m.c.o., we think it's great to get these airport workers the m.c.o. up to where they need to be, and we support our sister

s.i.u. locals. also want to let you know we plan on coming back to keep asking for our non-profit workers to get the same m.c.o. we feel that they do a lot of really important work in this city, helping provide permanent housing, not just programs for folks who would otherwise be on the streets, and they need a living wage as well. we have folks making $15 an hour doing important work in these nonprofits and places like the support service hotels here in the tenderloin. city counterparts make more money, and they are trying to get by on $15 an hour. they are paycheck away from being clients themselves, from being homeless themselves. so, we are really going to keep coming back and keep pushing for those non-profit workers and also for our in-home support workers as well. so -- thank you for passing the m.c.o., for the airport folks,

we would like to see it expanded. >> you can always count on the m.c.o. to have a thank you, but. >> it's important work. >> president cohen: mr. wright, your turn. >> another design oversight. on the right track, punch line, annual cost of living increases. you do the math on this $16.86 per day, per hour, per month, per year, come up with approximately $32,179.20 per year. each and every apartment building complex that you build and you set the requirement of income to move in always starts at a minimum of about 80 to 90 to $125,000 a year. so, you talk about starting off for the cost of living

increases, you give an increase to the amount of money you are talking about here today is not even enough to move into a brand-new apartment, build a complex coming through the mayor's office on housing. that's an insult on my intelligence, and other people who are working 40 hours a week trying to survive in the city. still going to be homeless on the street and bouncing around in temporary hotels and during certain parts of the month, of the year, living in transit. if they are not getting the cost of living increase like you claim annual cost of living increases, that's not no increase for them to live here in the city. you don't meet the target. you fall short of the target. you never have an apartment building complex entry level to move into an apartment building is $32,000 a year. and add $1 to it, still not enough. you see my point? is there anybody out there

object to that? all right. so, offer more money to set the price of cost of living based on how much it costs to live here. then you'll be levelling the playing field. until then, you are not taking care -- >> president cohen: any other members of the public that would like to speak? we have a lot of representatives from the airport. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you. so, i have a couple of questions or a question for the budget legislative analyst. i was wondering, do you have a sense of what the cost to the city of this increase in contract might be? >> i don't think we could calculate the cost. any cost would be the point of a new contract or lease or an amended contract or lease, and there are so many factors that enter into that that the impact of the m.c.o. in particular on the contract or lease, you know,

quantify in advance. i will also point out two issues. one is that many of our contracts just for security guards come under prevailing wage, under separate piece of legislation. and yeah, there is the concession leases are often based on a minimum guarantee or percentage of gross>> refere referereferee: oh. >> president cohen: you have a sense of what the -- what the -- what the increase, and we are talking about -- what, $0.14. >> the $0.14 difference between 1.86 and $2? and we are talking about that as it applies to the airport? >> correct. >> i would assume -- in the scheme of the 1.86 on the table,

it's a bit higher than that, obviously. i don't know that we have an exact number here today and our comments are consistent with the budget and legislative analysts. >> mayor's office. same question. >> thank you, chair cohen. i think we would say the same as the b.l.a. no formal analysis to quantify that. >> president cohen: colleagues, i have circulated amendments that would update this ordinance in three concise ways. first, it sets the minimum compensation ordinance for profit contract workers airport workers to $17 an hour. second, sets the effective date to november 3rd. and that's the most expedient

time to get before the mayor for signature. and sets the effective date to november 3rd or the first available effective date of the ordinance, whichever is later. that is consistent with the way we handle our contracts. and finally, the third apartment i'm proposing includes an annual c.p.i. adjustment for all, for profit workers on contracts with the city, starting on july 1st of 2019. so, given that the san francisco airport workers are not subject to our city's minimum wage, this m.c.o. update is long overdue, and i do ask for your support on these amendments and i hope we'll be able to move it forward. public comment is closed, sir. thank you. colleagues, is there any -- supervisor fewer.

sir, you are out of order, stop. yeah, you are. >> supervisor fewer: make a motion to adopt the amendments and also send this to the full board with positive recommendation. >> if i can just to clarify for everyone in the room, the apartment is to increase the m.c.o. rate for all for profit contractors or just for the airport to $17? >> president cohen: thank you. it's for -- just -- double check. thank you. yes, you are correct, that means it does not include home health care workers, i.h.s. workers, it does not include non-profit workers. this is the airport workers and a small contingent of workers

that are for profit workers associated with doing work at the san francisco airport. >> so only for the airport, not for for profit contractors outside the airport? >> president cohen: that's correct. for profit workers, excuse me. for profit workers. >> ok. so the m.c.o. increase that you are proposing would raise the rate to $17 as of the effective date of this ordinance, could be as early as november 3rd for all contractors for profit contractors. >> that's correct. >> ok. >> president cohen: thank you for tying that all together. all right. ready to gavel down, no objection, passes unanimously. please move that to the full board with positive recommendation. >> this amendment triggers a continuance in committee, it needs to come back next week. >> ok. all right. i was unaware of that.

>> president cohen: motion to rescind the vote and without objection, thank you. given that the amendments need further review, introduced them into the record, clarified them into the record, a motion to continue for one week's time. >> the next meeting september 20th. >> president cohen: thank you, and take that without objection, thank you. all right. any other business before this body? >> there is no further business. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. we are adjourned.

>> all right. this meeting will come to order. welcome to the, september 12, '13 -- 12, thank you, regular meeting of the public safety and neighborhood services committee. i'm supervisor rafael mandelman, to my right is supervisor ronen, supervisor peskin is not here this morning, and john carroll, and also -- like to thank you tom loftess for staffing this meeting with sf govtv. >> completed copies to be part of the file submitted to the clerk.

items acted on today will appear on the september 18, 2018, agenda unless otherwise stated and communication from supervisor peskin, he is representing the central north coast on the coastal commission. >> thank you. make a motion to excuse member peskin, take that without objection. excused. mr. clerk, first item. >> clerk: hearing to consider the issuance of extension on premise of a type-48 on sale general public premises liquor license to 98 bottles of beer, doing business as bigg. >> good morning, supervisors, sergeant george from the alcohol liaison unit from the san francisco police department. you have a report for bigg.

they have applied to extend their current type-48 license at 98 turk street to include 94 turk street. if approved, allow them to sell off sale beer, wine and distilled spirits. one letter of support -- i mean one letter of protest, 0 letters of support. they are located in plot 176, which is considered a high crime area. census track 125.01, considered a high saturation area. tenderloin station has no opposition. approve with the following recommended conditions. number one, sales of alcohol beverages for consumption off the premise is prohibited. number two, petitioner shall actively monitor the area under their control in effort to prevent the loitering of persons on any property adjacent to the licensed premise as depicted on

the most recent certified abc5257. number three, petitioner responsible for maintaining free of litter the area adjacent to the premise over with i they control as depicted on the most recent certified abc257. number four, no noise shall be audible at any nearby resident and the six consideration points. number five, any graffiti painted or marked upon the premise or any adjacent area under the control of the licensee removed or painted over within 72 hours of being applied. applicant has agreed to all the above listed conditions. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. public comment? >> clerk: i believe the applicant is also present. >> supervisor mandelman: would the applicant like to -- >> good morning, supervisors, my

name is pete glikstern. we have been at our location on turk and taylor for i think coming up on two years. it was a little bit of a slow rollout for us, but the bar is reasonably busy, and we are actually renting basically the entire ground floor of the hotel there. and so we have three different retail spaces. we are not applying to expand the premises to all three, but just next door on turk street. the space on 114 taylor is going to be a second salon for glamorama, valencia street mission institution, really great folks, and sort of a good fit because they are going to be activating a corner during the

day into the evening and then we pick up around 4, 5, and go into the night. i think we have done a pretty good job in our small part trying to help things on that corner. we wash the sidewalks, pick up the trash and generate a good little bit of foot traffic. so -- one of the tougher corners in the city still, but we are definitely making a go of it. so -- >> supervisor ronen: i want to say you picked the perfect two supervisors because we share valencia street, and love glamorama. >> they are great folks. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. ok. thanks. so now i will call for any members of the public who want to address us, and i believe mr. nolte, are you speaking on this item?

>> hello, mark nolte. can i have the overhead projector? so, i, first i wanted to point out when the applicant originally applied for a liquor license, one of the things they have to do is post the date of posting, and this picture was taken. you can see it's blank, which means that, well, when somebody walks by, don't know when the 30 days are up to protest or at least send in a letter of support or something. the next issue is i know rafael is new to the, being the chair and on the committee, but i've had to kind of encourage all new members over the years that there is a thing that you have to, applicants need to do, similar to what the -- what the

entertainment commission does, it's in your packet i handed you is do meaningful outreach when there is an alcohol license of some kind coming in. adopting a similar kind of roles because the fact that we have many community groups in the tenderloin and in district 6 and we have five different police districts and because of that, that means we have half of the police districts in our boundaries. and so makes it very hard to oversee how many liquor licenses and entertainment permits and stuff that come into our community and we like to see them all on the same playing field. so, we are not against this license, we are just prying to educate the decision makers how to best be suitable for our community. thank you very much.

>> jordan linger, i'm partners with pete. very excited, thank you for hearing our presenttation today. we took over the bar like pete said about two years ago. it was a 21 club before that for a very, very, very long time. part of the reason we took it over was in working with tenderloin police department, that was notified or designated as a pretty hot block, for better lack of terms and wanted to have someone in there that was a good operator. we operate different spaces around the city and want to take the space next to us to be able to activate it in another more professional, better way. so, i appreciate the gentleman up before us. we did do a significant amount of outreach when we first bought the bar. let the neighborhood know, did community outreach, but when we did the expansion we did not do

as much, we got pretty good overwhelming positive impact or positive feedback when we first bought the bar. so, thank you again. >> supervisor ronen: assuming the date was just an oversight. >> my guess is it got fixed -- abc is pretty on top of that stuff. so i remember, a number of these things that we post, so i remember abc saying hey, guys, you forgot to put the date on so took it down and our 30 days restarted after that, so, we have been kind of in this process now for a few months. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: any other members of the public who want to address this item? if not -- comments are closed. >> supervisor ronen: i did check in with supervisor kim who is the supervisor of the district and she is supportive of this license, so i would like to make a motion to send this item for,

with positive recommendation. >> drafted as a resolution recommending the public convenience necessity will be served. >> supervisor ronen: exactly. >> supervisor mandelman: that would be great and take that without objection. thank you. >> clerk: hearing to consider the premise to premise transfer of a type-21 off sale general beer, wine and distilled liquor license to giovanni specialties llc, doing business as gy have a n italian specialties. >> sergeant george again. report for giovanni italian specialties. if approved, type-21 would allow to sell off sale beer, wine and distilled.

0 letters of support, and 0 letters of opposition. considered in a high saturation area. central station has no opposition. approve with the following recommended conditions. number one, sales of alcohol beverages permitted between the hours of 10 and 8:00 p.m. daily. number two, no distilled spirits shall be sold in bottles or containers of less than 600 m.l.s. and number three, petitioner shall actively monitor the area under their control and an effort to prevent loitering of persons on any property adjacent to the licensed premise as depicted in the most recent certified abc257. it should be noted the applicant has agreed with the above listed recommended conditions. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. applicant here?

>> how are you? i own several restaurants in san francisco, tony's pizza, cappo's, slice houses and employ about 150 employees in san francisco currently. i have a small retail shop i just opened call giovanni's, and a small area is dedicated to beer, wine and liquor. the store itself is only open 'til 7:00, but allowed 8:00 when i spoke to law law enforcement. this is really important to me having this license, as you know, a lot of businesses in san francisco have been hurting, especially in north beach, and this is a small part of my business but it's a very important part. so, hopefully you can accept this today. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. any members of the public who want to address this item?

seeing none, public comment is now closed. and the matter is before us. >> supervisor ronen: happy to make a motion to prepare resolution to affirm that this license meets the public necessity and convenience. >> supervisor mandelman: great. is that what you need? excellent. very good. then we'll take that without objection. thank you. congratulations. and mr. clerk. please call our third item. >> clerk: agenda item three, hearing to consider the issue as of type-42 on sale beer and wine public premises license to lay brothers, llc, doing business as fig and thistle. located at 69-14th street. >> officer patrick maki, and you have a p.c.n. report for fig and

thistle bottle shop. a applied for a type-42 license, and it would allow on sale beer and wine. 0 letters of protest, one letter of support. they are in a low crime area, census 203, high saturation area. northern station has no opposition to the license, and a.l.u. approves with the following recommended conditions. number one, signs shall be posted at a conspicuous space at the entrances or exits of the premises on the form, dated 5-31-18, state the following. no alcoholic beverages beyond this point. said sign no less than seven inches by 11 inches in size and contain lettering no less than one inch in height, and also noted the applicant has agreed with the above listed recommended conditions.

>> supervisor mandelman: applicant is here. >> good morning, supervisors. introduce myself, newy lay, my partner, angel davis and i obviously are here for this reason, and want to just tell a little about ourselves. the space we are opening in was my grandmother and my aunt's deli for 40 years, been there a long time. she still lives upstairs and actually angel lives next to her. we opened fig and thistle about five years ago here in hays valley and would like to open another one. thank you very much for your time, appreciate it. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. are there any members of the public who would like to address this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i will say that i have met with the applicant. but based on presentation from

the department and what we have heard today i do believe this would be a positive addition, an area that desperately needs more active uses on the ground floor. i know the applicants have been through quite a lot with the city and i am eager to see them move forward. i would entertain a motion to find that this is, that this application meets public and is in the public, is for the public convenience and necessity. >> supervisor ronen: agreed. without objection. >> supervisor mandelman: take it as a motion from supervisor and vice chair ronen, and then we'll take that without objection and congratulations. good luck. open soon. >> supervisor mandelman: mr. clerk. >> clerk: ordinance amending the police code to require law

enforcement officials to provide either a verbal warning or a written warning rather than having to provide a written warning prior to issuing a dispersal order to ensure access to reproductive health care facility. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much. thank you so much, i just wanted to give a little history about this legislation, since it's something that i've been working on for about eight years now as the former legislative aide for former district 9 supervisor. in 2013, after continuous, really disturbing protests outside planned parenthood, which is is in district 9, then supervisor campos created legislation for a 25-foot buffer zone around the clinic where protestors were not allowed to enter. that legislation was very

successful. it really struck the right balance between allowing the protestors to exercise their first amendment right to express their opinion, while allowing women to access essential health care without undue harassment and interference. it worked quite well until very unfortunately and very disturbingly in 2014 the supreme court ruled in the horrible infamous case, mccullough, in massachusetts, the supreme court struck down that law and so we quickly met with the city attorney's office and had to amend our law, again unfortunately, which we had not had to do that. and what we did at that point is that instead of prohibiting any action within that 25-foot

buffer zone, we prohibited harassing or following women or any patient within that 25-foot buffer zone, and that law passed at the very end of 2014, and has been in effect since. i will say it's not as effective as the original law, but at least it provides some freedom from harassment in that area. fast forward to today, when the -- when d.p.w. did the valencia street streetscaping project in front of planned parenthood, they had resurfaced the street and erased the demarcation of the 25-foot buffer zone and somehow the signs came down. we started receiving again complaints from neighbors about it and quickly learned about that, that that factor, and decided you know, this is a good

chance to re-meet to discuss how things are going, and figured out that tline was no longer present and the signs were down, and had an opportunity to talk with the police captain who let us know that unlike any other area of the police code, this law for unknown reasons required a written warning instead of just a verbal warning. and so that's what we are doing today. we are revising the legislation to take out the requirement of a written warning and allow police officers to enforce the ordinance with only a verbal warning. i think this is -- it's really important because frankly what happens is the protestors almost play a cat and mouse game with the police and you know, enter the zone, harass women who police are not present, and then

the minute they see the police, behave themselves and follow the law. we need the police to be nimble so the minute they witness a violation of the law, that they are able to enforce it and that extra step of requiring a written warning, not required in any other area of the police code does not make sense. i'm introducing a simple ordinance today and making a little amendment to make it even clearer, that that makes it clear that the police need only make a verbal, not a written warning. i will say that this legislation is very timely, given president trump's hostility towards women and our ability to control our own reproductive health, and the increasingly hostile supreme

court towards women's right to choose. protestors have become emboldened in san francisco and i will say that while we have always had protests in front of planned parenthood, they have become bigger, more aggressive. you know, we used to have the 40 days of prayer once a year, now we have it twice a year. there was even an abortion holocaust survivors conference held in san francisco, that was incredibly upsetting to many of us, and aside from the usual violent images of bloody and mangled fetus and screaming lies like abortion causes cancer, which is absolutely scientifically not true, the protestors become more aggressive, grabbing on to the gate in back of planned parenthood and shaking it. you know, following women getting very close and screaming, and you know, i can't

tell you how upsetting that is. most women go to planned parenthood not for abortion but to get reproductive health care, for cancer screenings, breast exams, get birth control, but sometimes women are at one of the most difficult times in their entire life when they choose to get an abortion, and to be subjected to that type of violent screaming and harassment is really traumatic. so, you know, we are really happy to have the law on the books, and to make sure that the police can enforce it to the best of their ability, and hope that this will pass unanimously out of committee and at the board of supervisors. and before i open it up to public comment and ask if my colleague has any comments, i wanted to mention that sofia

navaro and naima from planned parenthood are here, and we have another from the police to fill in if there are any questions. any questions or comments? >> supervisor mandelman: i don't have questions. we can hear from sophia. >> supervisor ronen: open up public comment. >> supervisor mandelman: let's open public comments. >> you mentioned everything that i was going to mention. good morning. sophia, v.p. of government relations for planned parenthood in northern california. and here to say thank you, thank you supervisor ronen for all the work that you have done to push this forward. i mean, as you know and you have mentioned it in your speech right now, we currently have patients that come into our health centers and constantly get verbally harassed and we just feel it's unacceptable and

we demand, we demand better for our community and our patients. they deserve a space they can come in, feel safe and get the care that they need and that they rightfully seek. so, i'll keep it brief, as mentioned. but thank you so much. we are in support of this proposed amendment and look forward to continuing to work with your office and captain hart, amazing as well. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. public comment? then we will close public comments. and i will entertain a motion to recommend the item for approval. >> supervisor ronen: motion to amend the ordinance to delete the words written or, we have it there, on line six of page two. i make that motion. >> supervisor mandelman: take that without objection. >> supervisor ronen: and then i

make a motion to send the amended ordinance forward with positive recommendation. >> supervisor mandelman: as well. great. thank you. thank you, vice chair ronen. any other items on the agenda? >> clerk: no further business. >> supervisor mandelman: fantastic. then we are adjourned. thank you.

>> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's elected assessor. when i meet with seniors in the community, they're thinking about the future. some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood that's closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. that's why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. so how does this work? prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2% growth a year. but when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess

the value to new market value. compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the -- which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. that's where prop 60 comes in. prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the property value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. if you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your

existing home. this means that if your existing home is worth $1 million in market value, your new home must be $1 million or below. if you're looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105% of your exist egging home. which means if you sell your old home for $1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than $1.15 million. if you sell your existing home at $1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than $1.1 million. know that your ability to
