appropriate findings. >> president m. cohen: thank you. supervisor kim? >> supervisor j. kim: thanks, madam president. i want to make a motion to amend and i believe we distributed copies on page 6, we are simply changing structures to buildings. because structures include general advertising signs like billboards, which would prevent the construction of affordable housing and that was an unintended consequence of our original ordinance. and then i would like to make a second motion to duplicate the file. and under the duplicated file, i would like to, on page 6, strikeout the line as of the effective date of the ordinance enacting section 846.24, file number blank, quote this has been struck so we could preserve future opportunities to construct 100% of affordable housing projects. and the second amendment on the duplicated file is also on page 6, any parcel over 15,000

square feet in size that contains surface parking lot use, structures accessory to parking lot use in a building that doesn't exceed 800 square feet in the building area. as a reminder, colleagues, this is an ordinance that will allow us to strike a balance teen preserving light industrial and art uses in the south of market while also providing additional opportunities to provide 100% affordable housing. this ordinance permits 100% affordable housing on these sali lots. and adds this permitted use on 24 unidentified parcels undeveloped in the sali district which under existing law is not permitted. parcels under developed and contain no existing structures as well as existing parking lots with no existing buildings and we want to clarify because they could include guard stations, kiosks and even building signs so we wanted to

clarify that in the ordinance. >> president m. cohen: supervisor, for what reason are you making the request to duplicate the file? >> supervisor j. kim: unfortunately, the first amendment doesn't require a re-referral to planning so we are making that here at board of supervisors, the second two do require it. we want to pass something out of the board so there's one particular parcel where there's an interest by the tipping point foundation to build 100% affordable housing for formerly homeless individuals. so we do want to pass something out of the board today. however, the second and the third amendment i introduced does require re-referral to planning so by duplicating that we could send it to the planning commission. >> president m. cohen: thank you for that clarification. may we have a motion to amend the original file. i'm sorry, motion made by supervisor kim. seconded by supervisor sandy fewer. without objection the first amendment passed.

thank you. now, colleagues, this ordinance has been duplicated. on the original ordinance can we take it same house, same call? all right, without objection the item passes first reading, as amended. colleagues we have a motion to amend the duplicated file. may i have a second on that? second by supervisor peskin. we could take that without objection? all right, without objection. thank you. and colleagues, i believe these amendments are substantive, so may i have a motion to send the duplicated file to land use? motion by supervisor peskin. thank you. and seconded by supervisor kim. and without objection, this item has been re-referred to committee. madam clerk, please call the next item. >> clerk: item 6 resolution to approve issuance of approximately 2.6 billion aggregate principal amount of

san francisco international airport second series revenue refunding bonds to refinance bonds and subordinate bonds of the airport commission and related obligations approving the form of and authorizing the execution and delivery of one or more continuing covenant agreements in connection with the direct purchase of bonds of the airport commission and approving certain related matters as defined herein. >> president m. cohen: colleagues could we take this same house, same call? without objection this item is adopted. items 7 and 8? >> clerk: items 7 and 8 are called together. retroactive, retroactively approving a fourth amendment to the department of public health contract for behavioral health services with positive resource to extend the contract term by

four years. item 8, retroactively approving original agreement, not to exceed about approximately 24.2 million through june 30th, 2021. >> president m. cohen: thank you. could we take these items same house, same call? without objection these items are adopted. madam clerk, please call item 9 and 10. >> clerk: item 9 to approve issuance and sale in revenue bonds. and item 10 [reading] to submit an application and related documents to the california debt limit allocation committee to permit issuance of $20 million in

residential mortgage revenue bonds 1045 capp street. >> president m. cohen: can we take this same house, same call? item adopted. >> clerk: item 11. ocean avenue neighborhood commercial transit district, requires conditional use on the ground story and permitted above the ground story to affirm the ceqa determination and make the appropriate findings. >> president m. cohen: all right, we could take this item same house, same call? all right, without objection ordinance passed on first reading. madam clerk, next item? >> clerk: item 12 ordinance to amend police code to allow law enforcement officials to provide a verbal warning before a written warning to ensure access to reproductive health care facilities. >> president m. cohen: all right, colleagues. same house, same call? supervisor ronan?

-ronen. >> supervisor h. ronen: thank you. like elsewhere in the police code it allows the police to enforce the buffer zone law without first providing a written warning. it make it's consistent with the rest of the code but emboldened by this president and increasingly pro-life supreme court, the protests outside of planned parenthood have become bigger and more aggressive. i have been working on this legislation for a long time. my predecessor first created a 25 foot buffer zone which was overturned by supreme court in massachusetts. we then amended the ordinance to prevent people from

harassing and following women within a buffer zone in front of a reproductive health clinic and that law remains on the books. but what we are finding, there is sort of a cat-and-mouse game that's played between the protestors and the police. the police have to witness the conduct when it's happening and then they have to look down and write a written warning and that's making it very difficult to enforce. so this is a simple fix. it provides for a verbal warning as opposed to a written warning when enforcing the law but could make a big difference in making sure women are not harassed when seeking often-times life-saving health care services, so i look for your support, thank you. >> president m. cohen: supervisor ronen, please add my name. supervisor fewer. excuse me, supervisor brown. >> supervisor v. brown: thank you, supervisor cohen and ronen. i feel this is important to our

residents that have safe unobstructed access to reproductive health care. i feel everyone deserves a welcoming and non-judgmental environment when seeking health care services. i observed it firsthand when bringing a friend to one of these clinics how aggressive they could be. it's frightful for anyone going in . they are aggressive. they follow you almost to the door. and then when you are leaving, they follow you to your car and it's something, it's just a small adjustment in the code. i think it's going to be really powerful, especially for women to have that kind of access to our health care services. so i just want to thank you and add my support. >> president m. cohen: thank you. supervisor fewer? >> >> supervisor s. fewer: yes, i just want to thank supervisor ronen for bringing this forward.

thank you so much, and please add my name. >> president m. cohen: supervisor stefani? >> supervisor c. stefani: thank you, for bringing this forward and please add my name as a co-sponsor as well. >> president m. cohen: supervisor yee? > supervisor n. yee: can i add my name? >> president m. cohen: yes. and supervisor brown is also signaling as is supervisor peskin. and supervisor mandelman. >> president m. cohen: looks like we have a full house. supervisor tang would like to add her name as well. supervisor safai would like to add his name as well. >> clerk: thank you, madam president. >> supervisor h. ronen: thank you, everyone, it means a lot. >> president m. cohen: well i think we could take this same house, same call. without objection this ordinance is passed on the first reading.

madam clerk, please call item 13s-15. >> clerk: these are the liquor license items to determine issuance of premise type 48 on sale general public premises to 98 bottles of beer on the wall inc will serve the public convenience necessity of the city. item 14 resolution to determine that the premise to premise transfer of type 21 off sale beer, wine, distilled spirits to giovanny l.l.c. will serve the public convenience and item 15 resolution to determine that the issuance of a type 42 on sale and beer wine public sale license to lay brothers doing business located 691 14th will serve the public convenience and requesting the california department of alcoholic beverage control impose condition on issuances of all three licenses. >> president m. cohen: thank you. can we take this same house, same call?

appointing bryant duong, stephen tennis, sam denison and johnathan bonato. >> president m. cohen: thank you, same house, same call? motion approved unanimously. next item? >> clerk: item 19 ordinance to amend administrative code to establish early care and education for all initiative to be funded by appropriations from the baby and families first fund. >> president m. cohen: same house, same call, this ordinance is passed on first reading. item 20. >> clerk: establishing early care and education for all initiative funded by appropriations from the babies and families first fund. >> president m. cohen: supervisor yee? > supervisor n. yee: thank you, president cohen. proposition c was passed.

prop-c was a precedent-setting voter initiative initiated ballot measure. for decades families for young children have been advocating for increase investments for children, families and educators that serve them. starting at the women's march in january early educators, child care providers, parents and families began collecting signatures of san francisco voters. in the weeks following, hundreds of volunteers collected and submitted thousands and thousands of signatures. the signatures were verified by the department of elections and what became prop-c, the early education for all initiative. and it was qualified for the june 2018 ballot. the passage of the early education for all initiative is really the largest local investment nationwide.

thousands of children, families, and early educators will be impacted in the first year of implementation. this type of community commitment and investment is what makes san francisco a family-friendly city. this legislation before you today directs the office of early care and education to create the initial 5-year spending plan and process for community engagement in the creation of the plan. at the passage of this legislation, the office of early care and education will submit a report to the board setting the procedures for the development of the plan, which will include engagement of a broad and diverse range of stakeholders, including parents, providers, educators, academics, philanthropy, non-profit organizations and family child care providers. in nine months the office will

submit to the board a five-year spending plan for approval. this implementation should be part of the celebration of this truly historic community win. however, there are forces -- tax payer association and building owners management association boma who have decided to sue the city to overturn what the voters passed in june. this is appalling and quite frankly a grotesque example to the wealthiest commercial real estate owners leveraging their power to try to overthrow the will of the san francisco voters and democracy. for decades advocates have been sharing their stories, data on the needs and gaps depressed wages of our early educators, the challenges of the shortages

of retaining quality early educators, highlighting research about the importance of brain development during the first five years of life and making millions of dollars of requests in the budget. last year alone, the early care and education community requested more than $300 million in order to begin to address the needs and gaps of san francisco. the voters of san francisco recognize the benefits of investing in early care and education and passed this ballot measure and yet today boma and others want to silence our residents' votes in the name of profit. large commercial real estate benefit from the trump tax breaks and rather than paying their fair share they are now suing the city. instead of seeing this as an opportunity to be a true partner in the community and leveraging benefits of early education for all for tenants and employees they are suing to

overturn the voters of san francisco. i will not stand for this community victory. as a city we will fight not only to invest in early education working families and our educators but will work to uphold the will of the san francisco voters. we will not allow the largest commercial landlords to use their money and power to take away your votes. this is why without hesitation we are moving forward with the trailing legislation for implementation. i would like to thank my co-sponsors, supervisors, kim, ronen, cohen and fewer and families and early educators and community for their hard-fought victory and eric maybon who worked tirelessly on this trailing legislation. thank you very much. >> president m. cohen: thank you. is there any other discussion? all right, colleagues, could we take this item same house, same call? all right, without objection

this ordinance passes on the first reading. madam clerk, could you please call items 21 and 22? >> clerk: items 21 and 22 are two motions that appoint supervisor mandelman to association of bay area government executive board 21, and bay area air quality management district 22. >> president m. cohen: peskin has made a motion to excuse supervisor mandelman. without objection, supervisor mandelman is excused. please call the roll. >> clerk: 21 and 22 safai aye. stefani aye. tang aye yee aye. brown aye cohen aye fewer aye kim aye
