shoutout to the large number of in-home childcare providers that will benefit from this. i know you have quite a few in your district. we can pass this out with positive recommendation to the full board for approval without objection. thank you very much. madame clerk, any other matters? >> there is no further business. >> supervisor safai: great. so we are adjourned.

>> good afternoon, everyone. i am the mayor of the city and county of san francisco and i am here to welcome mayors from all over the country, including the u.s. conference of mayors on the centre for climate and energy solutions, to this great city. we are all gathered here today for a common cause. of taking meaningful action to combat climate change. as we all no kak this is an issue that is bigger than one of our cities, one of our regions and this country. climate change is the defining issue of our time. and the choices we make today, the commitment we can agree on and are sustained cooperation, will determine whether or not we rise to the challenge. i am proud that san francisco is one of 150 cities that took part in the survey conducted by the alliance for a sustainable future. writing climate change takes all

of our cities working together to share information, practices and ideas so we can come to -- come up with effective solutions that will protect our environment for generations to come. and san francisco, we are truly proud of the work we have been doing for years it for years to implement sustainable policies that work while growing our economy. since 1990, we reduce the greenhouse gas emissions by 30% and cut our landfill disposal in half, all while growing our economy by 111%. to do this, which champion zero waste policy, advanced clean energy initiatives, reduced emissions from public transportation and our home to some of the most sustainable buildings in the world. but we are not stopping there peerk we are adopting policies to meet our goal of being carbon neutral by 2050.

by the year 2013, we have committed to cutting our landfill waste -- waste in half, to carbon icing all of our new buildings, and achieving -- by the year 2013 -- 30, we want to be more sustainable. we can achieve this by working across our borders as one a global community, to push for strong environmental protections together, we have the ability to create a cleaner and greener sustainable future for generations to come and as we move forward this week, san francisco, as you know, will be hosting the global climate action summit. i'm so excited that jerry brown has chosen the city and county of san francisco, we have been a leader in the effort to combat climate change. as we bring people from not only

all over the united states, but all over the world to san francisco, we will continue to push the envelope and demand action. the whole point of this climate summit his action. it is about coming up with solutions. san francisco, is much as we live in a bubble, we can't do it alone. we need everyone here and the leaders of many of these great cities who are joining us today will help us lead the way. with that's, i would like to introduce the president of the u.s. conference of mayors, from columbia, south carolina, mayor benjamin doshi has been a great leader and a wonderful leader with the u.s. conference of mayors. mayor benjamin. [applause] >> thank you, so much for having us here today. we are honored to be with you and i appreciate your generous

hospitality. we are looking forward to working with you in the days ahead. my name is steve benjamin. i'm the mayor of columbia, south carolina have a privilege of serving as president of the united states conference of mayors. if you grabbed me a brief point of personal privilege, i will go down a line and have our colleagues here, both the mayors and guests and partners introduce themselves and see who is here and talk really loud. please. >> i'm from california. >> mayor rob rankin. >> mayor thomas [indiscernible].

[cheers and applause] >> the united states conference of mayors has long been a proponent of need to address climate change. mayors have been on the front lines, taking action on climate protection efforts and in many cases, launched local energy efficiency programs to reduce

our carbon footprint in american cities. the president's decision to withdraw from the paris agreement was not only shortsighted, it was not representative of our nation process leaders and their communities. the fact is, the nations of mayors have never waited on washington, d.c. to act. you will see, in the next weeks and months and years ahead, mayors continuing to use our collective power to lead the nation on this critical issue, regardless of what happens at the national level. at the same time, it is critical we have a federal government that takes climate protection seriously and is willing to step up the two the plate to deal with this national and global issue. we do call on the administration and on congress to reengage and work with us as we tackle this incredibly challenging issue. our efforts are strengthened by the support of strong partners. that is why we've formed an alliance with sustainable future

to help us engage with the business community. the alliance's purpose is to bring mayors and businesses together to identify ways we can work together to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, build more resilient communities and create a more sustainable future we had a great session earlier this morning. we heard about what cities and business communities are doing together to reduce our carbon footprint. we discuss how this best practices could be replicated throughout the united states. today, the alliance is releasing a new survey of which cities are doing to advance climate solutions and to meet the challenges ahead. the report demonstrates cities of all sizes are committed to action. in fact, we have 75 smaller cities, those less than 100,000 citizens respond to the survey. this demonstrates there is broad-based support in urban america, suburban america and rural america up for action, if

we have access to the right tools and strategies. shows that climate change impacts all of our communities. collectively, we are making a significant difference. right now, our nation needs thoughtful leaders who care about the environment and care about the world that we have inherited from our ancestors. at you care deeply about their world we are passing on to our children. you need to look no further than america's mayors for this leadership. mayors get things done. fighting climate change is no exception to that rule. i would like to ask my friend, a fantastic leader, the chair of the alliance for sustainable future top our salt lake city mayor to unveil the major findings from our reports. mayor? [applause] >> thank you. thank you, mayor benjamin. i wanted to give you a few brief highlights from the survey.

this is the second year we have conducted this research. with this work, our plan is to continue to monitor the progress so -- cities are making towards achieving their climate change goals and to share this information across the country. we are confident this information exchange will identify ways cities and businesses can match up with one another so that policy and programs can be replicated quickly and efficiently. we need to learn from each other and identify resources to help each other achieve our goals. on the reasons why are abundantly clear. as you can see from the answers of a new question, we asked this year, has your city experience impacts of climate change in the last five years?

and the answer is no surprise. ninety-five% -- 95% of the cities said yes. right here in california, you can see the impact most directly through devastating wildfires and droughts, issues impacting my city as well. it is also important to note that cities are not just experiencing one impact of climate change. they are experiencing several changes all at once. so what are we doing about it? our survey found that more than 70% of the cities have energy efficiency policies for new and existing municipal buildings and

more than half have established energy-efficient -- energy efficiency policies for new and existing commercial and residential buildings. in the area of transportation, nearly 60% of city governments have a green vehicle purchasing policies with an additional 26% considering such action. cities have tremendous purchasing power. with cities purchasing over 13,000 vehicles annually, while gas and diesel vehicle purchases are still prevalent, you can see that with these policies in place, a real shift is not only possible, but is underway. besides municipal fleets cap cities also have options for their residents. with 94% of city respondents having best transit and 92% bike

lane policies with implementation. this scrap -- of this scratches the surface of our findings and i encourage you to take a closer look at the survey and thank you very much for being here today. [applause] >> now i would like to introduce mayor john mitchell, the mayor of new bedford, massachusetts for some remarks. >> thank you, mr president. good afternoon everybody. i want to thank mayor benjamin for your leadership in the space you are one of the mayors he pushed very hard for all the mayors to sign up to the 100% renewable pledge. i want to commend jackie for her leadership as well in promoting

this report and making this happen. everyone should take a close look at it's contents and spread the word. because it is a reminder of two things. that mayors are the big problems facing america and facing the world, americas mayors are meeting the challenge. secondly, those challenges are very real. i want to thank tom cochrane executive director, for being in the space for a long time before it was popular to be that way for america's mayors and the staff is well. america's mayors clock by the very nature of their job, don't have to remove themselves from the abstract and get real. we are where the rubber hits the road and every respect. and it is true of climate change in our particular case, new bedford is the biggest commercial fishing porridge in

the united states. we see, over time, in the fish that come in. a few years ago we are one of the biggest lobster ports in the world his. we are no longer that because the water has gotten warmer at those lobsters back even though they have small legs, have migrated north. they are no longer around in southern new england. it is one example. i see our beaches where -- which are not nearly the size of what they once worked when i was a kid. and we see what happens this week. i just wanted to throw this out there as food for thought about the kinds of things that mayors deal with. mayors on the east coast of the united states have to be mindful of hurricanes. mayors from miami all the way to new bedford. and this week i was asked on an am station, what about the storm , florence that is in the middle of the atlantic? i said, you know, we are keeping an eye on it. we always do. i should probably take a closer look. i had my team take a closer look at it and i did my own google

research. i found a washington post case. this is three days ago that said that the storm, florence, where was the atlantic three days ago was in a place where no storm had hit the united states since 1851. out of 67 identified storms in that time. sixty-seven, not a single one hit the united states. the folks in the carolinas are about to learn clock you will shortly -- and fortune experience in a few days, it will hit the east coast. so the aberrations are becoming the norm. and we see it all the time. that is why a report like this helps us focus on not only what we can do to prevent the problems today, but also, ten years from now, 20 years from now, 50 years from now. the survey reported that cities

spend $1.6 billion annually on electricity, which represents a significant amount of purchasing power and opportunity for cities , as mayor benjamin was alluding to, catch a loop -- use collective influence to make change. so we do. think do it in columbia and they don't salt lake city and across america. fifty-four% of the cities have renewable energy goals another 80% are considering setting a goal. these goals have made real results in cities. they have reduced our electric consumption considerably from fossil fuels. in our particular case, we are at 71% renewable. there are eight cities in america who have hit 100% and more that are rapidly approaching. sixty-five% pure care for municipal operations. and they derives the vast majority of their needs through renewable sources.

i will add these other data points, 37% of cities have set communitywide renewable energy goals with another 19% considering it at 51% of cities have policies or programs that help citizens and businesses cues renewable energy options. these numbers are going to grow in part because of the idea sharing mechanism that is the u.s. conference of mayors. we talked to one another and share ideas. again, this is another place where we are sitting dorsett single standard. as mayor benjamin mentioned, we do not wait for the federal government to act. thank you, everybody. [applause] >> thank you, mayor mitchell. i will invite the trustee of the u.s. conference of mayors and the mayor mayor of des moines, iowa.

>> mayor benjamin, all mayors, we are proud to be her as a mayor of san francisco said. it is a convening of people who are elected, and others to talk about the future of this planet and talk about the future of this country and talk about it from a perspective that is local quite frankly, for all of us, remembered some of the work -- and a look at tom cochrane back here and remembering being in copenhagen. boy, we had some great hopes and thoughts and hopeful outcomes that were going to happen as a result of that convening. but we all know that not everything happens that we wanted to have happen. i will tell you that it is local government leaders like the people that are here before you today whose voices jumped out. after that occasion, all the way to parents, we had to show not

only in the united states that local government that this is where stuff happens. this is where the consequences of actions and inactions on climate change actually manifest themselves. someplace, somewhere. it is not just the mayors here, it is a mayors around the world. i know that we continue, through the conference of mayors, to speak with other mayors around the world and i believe that it is those mayors at the local levels that spoke out and gave the courage to the heads of state to vote for and accept the paris climate agreements. in spite of the fact that there is debate as to whether the united states is still in, i want you to know that there is over 500 mayors that have said we are still in. we are still part of this wasp was to go along with thousands of other mayors around the world , as we celebrate that

moment in knowing that this is also where it happens. this is where we will have to take the actions that are necessary to meet those paris goals. with that, i will say that in des moines, iowa, we sit in the middle of the country and you always wonder, what are they doing here? there is no sea level rise and there's probably not a hurricane there, but you should have been in joint -- des moines on june 30th this year, you would've had a nice day up until about 9:00 and then it started raining by about 1230, there was areas in des moines that received over 10 inches of rain and three and a half hours port i have to tell you, that is like a monsoon. out in the middle of the plains in iowa and the cornfields in the streams on the rivers, they filled up really fast. and those are becoming more

normal. we have to decide how we will work to do it and how we will achieve our goals. i will tell you, it is not only those of us at the local government level, but it is partnering with our businesses, with our residents that are in each and every one of our communities in making a plan and working for a plan and often, those are led by the city. in our case, one of the great accomplishments that has happened in iowa and in des moines, art -- our disc attributed -- our distributed energy provider. started in 2004 when they had two% of their power created by renewables. today, it was just verified by the iowa utility commission, at the end of 2017, mid american energy, through wind, has stepped up now to 50.8% of their

energy that they produce is by renewables. they have also committed -- they have two new projects going along that will boost their investment and went into. as a look at my partner over here from salt lake city, by over $14 billion. by 2020, we are hoping that we will effectually create 100% of the energy produced by mid american energy in iowa through their sources in the energy they provide that will be renewable. that is a kind of gold that we need to reach. that is a kind of partners we need to have. let's hope we can accomplish it and maintain and retain this planet for all of our future generations. thanks. [applause]

>> thank you frank for your comments. we are all available for questions. our president, our chairman, executive director and c.e.o., tom cochrane is here with us as well. he did not introduce themselves earlier but he and bob have been doing fantastic work making sure the business community of mayors have been working together for the last several years. we look forward to watching that partnership grow. questions? i will say this. i am with you -- if you get no questions, you wrap it up really quickly, i do want to congratulate mayor breach, not only taking her leadership role here in city hall, but almost immediately thereafter, she was named a cochair of mayors for the 100% clean and renewable energy partnership that we have with the sierra club. we are ready for 100. this leadership, i want to

highlight because mayor bree joins myself and others in a barbed -- bipartisan, bicoastal commitment to this. this is not d.r. or red or blue issue. this is an issue that seems to protect america's feature and of course, make sure we maintain our rightful place in the world. as you meet people over the next several days, i am going back home to south carolina to deal with the issues presented by hurricane florence. as you meet people, make sure it is clear to them that america's leaders, may be, save one are committed to working on this issue together in a thoughtful, meaningful way. we are stronger when we work together. thank you and god bless you. [applause]

>> providing excellent customer service to each other so that we can succeed together. because we're a small division out here, and we're separated from the rest of the p.u.c., a lot of people wear a lot of different hats. everyone is really adept not just at their own job assigned to them, but really understanding how their job relates to the other functions, and then, how they can work together with other functions in the organization to solve those problems and meet our core mission. >> we procure, track, and store materials and supplies for the

project here. our real goal is to provide the best materials, services and supplies to the 250 people that work here at hetch hetchy, and turn, that supports everyone here in the city. i have a very small, but very efficient and effective team. we really focus hard on doing things right, and then focus on doing the right thing, that benefits everyone. >> the accounting team has several different functions. what happens is because we're so remote out here, we have small groups of people that have to do what the equivalent are of many people in the city. out here, our accounting team handles everything. they love it, they know it inside out, they cherish it, they do their best to make the system work at its most efficient. they work for ways to improve it all the time, and that's really an amazing thing. this is really unique because

it's everybody across the board. they're invested it, and they do their best for it. >> they're a pretty dynamic team, actually. the warehouse team guys, and the gals over in accounting work very well together. i'm typically in engineering, so i don't work with them all day on an every day basis. so when i do, they've included me in their team and treated me as part of the family. it's pretty amazing. >> this team really understanding the mission of the organization and our responsibilities to deliver water and power, and the team also understands that in order to do that, we have a commitment to each other, so we're all committed to the success of the organization, and that means providing excellent customer service to each other so that we can succeed

>> supervisor tang: i apologize. supervisor cohen wants to open up this hearing. we will actually go and call item 121st. -- item 12 first. >> clerk: it is the resolution supporting california state proposition ten. the affordable housing act on the november 6th, 2018 ballot and reaffirming the city and consent -- city and county of san francisco appeal for the rental housing act. >> supervisor tang: thank you.

>> supervisor tang: and moving down the line. we will go to item 131st because some members are not here. item 13, please. >> clerk: item 13 is a hearing on whether we dry -- drive transportation are in compliance with the board of supervisors resolution number 9615 and the current neighbour negotiations with the local 853. and whether the correspondence disruption plan provision. >> supervisor tang: the caption is not reflective possibly. this is a hearing sponsored by supervisor safai.

>> supervisor safai: anybody here from the teamsters here. can we ask the members from the teamsters 853 -- we have really good news to report on the site and. i would like to let one of the members -- maybe we can do public comment on this item and they can come back. >> supervisor tang: we can do public comment on item 13. welcome. >> thank you. my name is adolph felix. i'm the business agent representing teamsters local 853 and i chaired the negotiations. i am happy to report that we obtained a recommended agreement that was ratified by 97% of our members voting saturday. now we have nearly 800 happy bus drivers. we want to thank the committee for whatever assistance they did to render that. there is no need to proceed any further with this hearing. >> supervisor tang: thank you for sharing that news with us. is there anyone else who would

like to comment on this particular hearing? just yourself? ok. we will close public comment on item 13. i am glad to hear the resolution >> supervisor safai: thank you for coming out today. we did get a call. part of our intent of bringing this item forward west to shine light on some of the conversation and ask the parties to, essentially, get in the room and work harder. we are really happy to hear that over 600 drivers have a wage increase of five% in the first year and four% in years two and three. this is a wonderful collaboration between the teamsters and organizations. we are happy that this resolution has come forward. congratulations to the men and women who are driving these trucks and the companies who negotiated you negotiated for a fair living wage. congratulations. >> supervisor tang: thank you, supervisor safai and everyone who worked to make this good

resolution. with that -- >> supervisor safai: can we get a motion to file? >> supervisor tang: we will do that without objection. all right. ok. we will start 12. one of the cosponsors is here. supervisor supervisor fewer, welcome. we are waiting for supervisor peskin to get here. we will call item 12 now. >> hello. thank you, colleagues. i am a cosponsor and supervisor aaron peskin is the main sponsor of this resolution that supports proposition ten, the affordable housing act. i think that since 1979, when rent control was first passed, we have had a rent control policy in place and at the state level does not allow us to actually even have the discussion about how we may amend the rent control laws or just re-examine them. so this is just a resolution in

support of the state proposition that is going to be in the november ballot. though it does give jurisdiction the ability to discuss rent control and how they are affecting the communities and also to revise it if we so deem. again, the passing of proposition ten doesn't automatically change anything. it just gives the cities and jurisdictions an opportunity to actually design rental measures that actually fit their own communities. so i would like to start off with -- hold on one second, please. i would like to start off this hearing by hearing public comments. let us open this up for public comment, please. anyone who would like to speak on this item, item 12, around the support for proposition ten, affordable housing act, please come up or submit a speaker card

everyone has two minutes to speak. >> supervisor tang: public comment is open. please line on up. thank you. first speaker may come up to the podium. >> i strongly encourage you to pass this forward to the board. san francisco is a pro- rent-controlled safety and we need to have all the tools at our disposal to keep the current residence here. thank you. >> thank you. neck speaker, please -- next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is george and i'm the president of the coalition for san francisco neighbourhoods.

we support the repeal of costa hawkins rental housing act. also a majority of the board of supervisors supports the repeal of the costa hawkins act. the resolution is boarding the california state proposition number 10 of the affordable housing act, on november 6th, 2018 ballot. and reaffirming the city and county in support or repeal of the costa hawkins rental housing act. acute parliamentarian trick to take this from the board and place it in the land use committee will not stop the board from endorsing this resolution before the election. the repeal of costa hawkins will pass on the november 6th election. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you. next speaker, please.

>> afternoon, supervisors. lorraine petty here. i'm a member of and disability action. i am here to urge the board to support proposition ten to repeal costa hawkins. i think, for 23 years, costa hawkins has failed to tenants and it has failed the homeowners as well. it has given the green light to rental abuses and excesses. it has taken away our rights to correct them. we know what is going on. runaway rent increases, costa hawkins has made them legal. mass displacement homelessness, evictions, speculation, costa hawkins as the enabler for all of these. and then it denies us the tools to address them. property owners are guaranteed the right to fair and reasonable profits. renters deserve fair and

reasonable housing. without costa hawkins, we can strike a fair and reasonable balance. we are an innovative, creative and collaborative city. we can do a whole lot better than the people in sacramento who don't know and scent don't have our interests at heart. the sooner proposition ten is passed, the sooner we can all get together and work on solutions. thanks. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am a district eight resident. i am appealing to you, supervisors, right now, by supporting a repeal of costa hawkins. today he would indicate that you recognize the fact that you have , along with your fellow supervisors, the ability to work together for the benefit of homeowners and renters for a

good outcome. i know some of you are concerned about your constituents who are homeowners. this will not affect them because you have the power to put in place, write laws and write legislation, to help them. as well as renters who are being displaced in record numbers. i want you to be empowered to create legislation. so repealing costa hawkins would enable you to do so. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. first of all, my thanks to supervisor fewer for sponsoring this measure. i really appreciate if the land use committee would also get behind it. this is really important for a city that is populated by

tenants at the right of 65%. we want to do good for the majority. this city is different, especially in terms of the makeup of the tenants versus homeowners. i am not a tenant but i believe that we have to take measures to protect our tenants and make sure that they will stay in their homes and not get displaced. repealing costa hawkins is the right thing to do. we do need to have policies that will address the majority of the city of san francisco. if 35% of the city is made up of homeowners, that doesn't mean that 35% our rental property owners. we have a very small percentage of our residents that are rental property owners. why should we succumb to their will agree i do not believe that repealing costa hawkins will actually bring about horrible consequences for such landlords. again, i am here to urge you to pass a resolution to support

proposition ten. thank you. >> my name is peter and i am a member of indivisible front san francisco. we support proposition ten and we want the board of supervisors to support proposition ten. an overwhelming majority of homeless people in san francisco were previously house in san francisco. they lost their home due to rising exorbitant rents. addressing the lack of affordable housing in san francisco will go a long way to mitigating the homelessness crisis. the yes on ten campaign is already being outspent 10-went by deep pocket component -- opponents. an endorsement would be a great help. assets are to be mentioned, that measure in and of itself would not instill rent control. it would give cities and counties, like san francisco, the power to enact affordability measures for the constituents should you choose to do so.

i hope you will. thank you. >> good afternoon. jordan davis. i am an organizer but i know it is right. i wanted to give a special thank you to supervisors came and fewer for -- for supporting tenants and a lot of bootleggers to the rest. the board unanimously, supported a resolution to repeal costa hawkins and yet mod squatters flip-flopped on the important matter. as a member of the dwindling trans and queer community, we need to be able to have real rent control because contrary to media representation, we are not all a bunch of wealthy condo dwellers who wear expensive designer clothing. not only that, one of the most prolific organizers for landlords and against tenants rights as a horrible cretin. a deplorable who says transgender children rape little girls and says racist things about other black and brown

students. which side are you on? are you for the renters or are you flip-flopping for and enabling racist? it is sad we all have to be here today when this could have been handled by the full board. thank you. [applause] >> hello, i am maria and i am from indivisible san francisco. as peter said, we support proposition ten and we want the board to do the same. we are facing not just the housing crisis or an a for -- but just not just the housing crisis, but also an affordable housing crisis. >> good afternoon. my name is kathy lipscomb. i work with seniors and disability action as well as other groups. please, on behalf of the 62% tenant majority in san francisco , votes to recommend yes on repeal of costa hawkins. on behalf of those in shelters are on the streets, vote to repeal costa hawkins which gives

landlords disproportionate power over renters' lives. please vote yes on behalf of those thousands of tenants already evicted you are forced out to oakland and elsewhere where they unwittingly got other tenants evicted and displaced in a domino effect. listen to us today. please grab this historic moment and helped tenants throughout the state. thank you. >> tony, senior disability action and a district five resident. we don't have time to play games to commit and then not commit to sending a clear and strong message to real estate speculators, because this is primarily who this fight is geared or focused on. the big corporate landlords that are making much money on the backs of san francisco residents

and residents throughout california. one of the previous speakers said that many people that our house -- homeless ones had homes , but because of the affordability crisis, it is priced out and we see dire consequences that have happened to people on the streets. people have died and ended up with no shelter. it is a complete disgrace. the repeal of costa hawkins will allow cities and allow local municipalities to enact rent control appropriate to their area. san francisco has to send a message. there has been so much fallout and so many people have suffered because of the costa hawkins law that was a deliberate law we need to send a message enough is enough.
