[roll call]

>>clerk: madam president, you have a quorum. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. ladies and gentlemen, please join me in the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] >> president cohen: all right. colleagues, today, we are -- or madam clerk, are there any communications? >>clerk: there are none to approve. >> president cohen: colleagues, today we are approving the

minutes of september 25, 2018 as well as september 11, 2018 minutes. there a motion? motion made by supervisor ronen, seconded by supervisor peskin. colleagues, can we take these without objection. all right. minutes will be approved after public comment. madam clerk, please call 2:00 p.m. special order. >>clerk: the honest believe mayor london breed is present in the chamber today to discuss with a formal policy discussion with the members of the board. the topic pertains to inclusionary affordable housing. as a reminder, the mayor and the board may not discuss matters that have already been considered in committee and are on the board's agenda as an action item. the mayor may address the board for up to five minutes. comments on this issue will take place during general public

comment. >> president cohen: welcome back, mayor breed. i'd like to give you a chance to make some opening comments. >> the hon. london breed: thank you, president cohen. i'd like to thank you for having me back here today. with housing costs so far out of reach in this city, i know that you are committed to working with them to keep them in their housing. we've strengthened rent control protections and expanded and preserved affordable housing, including through our small sites acquisition program. today, we have a crisis that demands immediate action to keep people housed. we must step in to protect some of our most vulnerable residents, those who live in public housing and those are section 8 vouchers. our immediate intervention will ensure that thousands of low-income residents are protected. this is both a crisis of a funding and accountability. earlier last month, in

september, h.u.d. put the san francisco housing authority on notice that once again housing authority over spent its annual budget and would not be able to make its september payments for housing vouchers. this can be a common occurrence. the city initially thought we could work to get h.u.d.s funding assistance to bridge the gap until january . however, we recently learned that the shortfall is approximately $25 million for 2018, exceeds the assistance that h.u.d. is available to provide. so the city will step in, commit funding to fill the gap to keep tenants in their housing. this immediately becomes our top emergency priority. our action will keep seniors, families -- low-income families and formerly homeless people

housed. i'm committed that not a single person will lose their home because of the funding deficit, but as i said, this is a crisis of accountability. the funding gap and the fact that it has only just come to light reflects serious financial mismanagement at the housing authority. it has become abundantly clear that the san francisco housing authority can no longer be allowed to operate as it has in the past, so i'm announcing that the city will immediately step in to impose best practices for management and oversight protocols at the san francisco housing authority. we will also continue our work with h.u.d. to transfer the housing authority's last two properties located in president cohen's district, sunnydale and potrero hill, to their planned operators. the city has a history of success when we step in to assist with public housing. in 2008, the city launched hope sf after we lost federal funding from hope 6.

our local effort to rebuild san francisco housing authority's largest and most poorly maintained public housing, we have succeeded in doing so with hunters view and alice griffith. through our r.a.d. program we have transferred 300 apartments to nonprofit ownership in two years which has included a completion in $800 million in rehabilitation and repair to dramatically improve housing for our residents. the city has succeeded before and will succeed again. to those of you who rely on section 8 vouchers examine low-income housing, the city is here with you. everyone in this room, i want to make clear that this is a significant, unforeseen investment that must take precedent over all other potential funding needs. i'm committed to stablizing the

housing authority in the short-term and bringing accountability in the long-term so it never happens again, but most importantly, we will keep our tenants safe and secure in their housing. thank you. >> president cohen: all right. thank you very much. [applause] >> president cohen: thank you, ladies and gentlemen. that was very kind, but we actually have a no applause rule in the chamber just so we can run an efficient meeting, please, if you like something, do spirit fingers, and if you don't like something, do a thumbs down. madam clerk, will you call the next item. >>clerk: this week, supervisor peskin submitted the topic which was noted on our agenda fortable public housing. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam clerk.

this is something that we all care about, and that is the topic of affordable housing. in june 2016, the voters changed the charter, took the inclusionary percentage out of the charter, and i think we all came to agreement that we wanted to build the maximum feasible number of inclusionary units going forward. we all agreed that we would have a technical advisory committee, we all agreed that we would have higher in lieu fee so that we could get more on-site housing, and we also agreed to what we call it a use it or lose it provision because we wanted people to start building and not to sit on their permits. to that end, yourself, supervisor kim, and supervisor safai and i sat down, and we worked it out. we gave -- on all sides, and we moved forward. recently, you introduced legislation that -- asubpoenaed

with a press release that said would keep endangered housing projects move forward, but in my opinion, it could give impacts to 33% more housing. some of theme are at 13.5% and could be at 19% under our new law, so my real question is after this consensus process, why are you revisiting that policy? >> the hon. london breed: thank you for that question, supervisor peskin. i want to make it very clear, i strongly support the affordable inclusionary housing program and setting the rate as high as we can, so long as it's feasible. this has delivered thousands of public housing units, and it must continue, but setting the level reasonable is critical to maximizing the results that we

do get. as i said to you before, 25% of zero is still zero. when this board of supervisors, including myself and working with you and supervisor kim and supervisor safai made props -- the prop c compromise in 2016 with at 11-0 vote with this board, we all acknowledged that certain projects already in the pipeline could not shoulder a significant increase to their inclusionary rates and doing so would possibly make those projects infeasible, so we grandfathered it in, but we unestimated how long it takes to get a building permit here in san francisco, which we all know is a very frustrating and long process. typically, we give buildings 30 minutes, but instead, our legislation starting this

30-month count down from when the ordinance was passed. this failed to acknowledge that many of these grandfathered projects hadn't even been entitled yet, and getting entitlements take forever. here we are, the grandfathering for 33 projects are set to expire on december 7. no new projects would get special benefits, and grandfathered projects would get the same amount of time as the other projects. without this legislation, i truly believe we risk 4300 units and over 600 affordable units. the last thing we need is to lose this desperately needed housing, but i'm happy to work with you to go through this list and have a conversation with the projects that you are most concerned about and to look at the possibility of, you know, the challenges that exist.

but again, that causes additional delays, and it causes additional need to reassess these particular projects, and i don't want to continue to delay this much needed conversation, and happy to continue this conversation as we move forward in this legislative process. >> president cohen: supervisor peskin, you may ask a follow up question to the opening statement. >> supervisor peskin: can you, madam president. and i want to acknowledge that your staff gave me a list of the 33 projects with the reasons that many of them have not gotten site permits. and the vast majority of folks actually did get the site permits, so the fact as of opin

or not we should start pulling projects apart and delaying more -- delaying much needed housing, but i'm open to having the conversation to explore possibilities of getting more affordable housing and what that might look like. you know, there's an -- unfortunately, there's a delay housing, the possibility of lost housing. so i just want to make sure that this is the responsible thing to do for the purposes of getting more housing united on the market sooner rather than later and happy to

for having me today. >> president cohen: all right. thank you, mayor breed. madam clerk, please call the consent calendar [agenda item read] >> president cohen: all right,

tenderloin neighborhood. so first, i'd like to bring up miss kelly armstrong. ladies and gentlemen, i'm excited to introduce you to this wonderful lady. she's an exceptional leader. she's been serving san francisco and the community for over 25 years. why don't you come on down to the microphone. currently, mrs. armstrong is the program director for primed and prepped, a mentoring and job training program in the bayview-hunters point, specifically at the ymca. the program introduces young man that are between the ages of 14 and 19 into the fantastic career and profession of -- professional training opportunities in the hospitality, management and culinary arts industry. under her guidance, the primed and prepped program has expanded to the mission and chinatown ymca, so if you haven't checked it out, you definitely want to check out this program.

mrs. armstrong's unwaivering ded indication to the community is reflected through her work on many nonprofits. i'll just list a couple of them. the bayview opera house, girls 2000, the 21st century academy, and the city college of san francisco southeast, just to name a few, the southeast campus. mrs. armstrong has supported the success of three initiatives has had a significant impact on the bayview-hunters point community, like network for teaching entrepreneurship, and the san francisco renaissance entrepreneurial center. mrs. armstrong has also served as the interim volunteer manager for the american red cross. she's done work as the program director as the american heart association, specifically running the heart association's program called black community

programming. she's been a consultant for capital one and consumer action, and as the community relations drar for fazz's restaurant. so the reason we are honoring and bringing this lady here before you is just to recognize an incredible career of service that has largely been unnoticed and unsecelebrated, and i just wanted to give mrs. armstrong an opportunity to come before us so i can say thank you not only for the many contributions that you've made to district ten, but to the entire city. you're a classy and sassy lady. as you all will hear soon enough, if you just can't tell by the lodge, she's just incredible, she's a business owner, she's a found you are of artist image and decision making, which was established back in 1988. so thank you mrs. arm strong for being here and all that you've done.

community and beyond. the series began back in 2001 with the support of former pastor keenan kelsey. ramon and judy were a perfect match for hosting odd mondays. judy, a 30-year veteran of the public school classrooms, active union member representing teachers and paraprofessionals on a committee of the human rights commission, artist, and writer, and romoan, electronic music composer, well known writer of fiction and memoir, and community activist.

judith and ramon to ir-17 years of organizing. i want to recognize our next supervisor on deck, supervisor peskin, who is recognizing jack boatwright. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, acting chair kim. today, on the eve of the 29 anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake, and as we hold a conference on the city's tall building initiative, i thought it appropriate to recognize the work of 38 year potrero hill resident dr. jack boatright. he served as a geologist with the united states geological service for 38 years and serves as its program coordinator here in northern california. he graduated from stanford in 1975 with a b.a. in physics and a masters in geophysics, and then from columbia in 1980 with

a doctorate . he worked to glean a better understanding of what happened during earthquakes of the past, including extensive analysis of ground shaking intense sit from the 1868 magnitude 6.8 fault quake in the east way, and the 1970 quake here on the san andreas fault. he added his own field work, fascinating field work, investigating percentages of toppled tombstones in cemeteries in alameda, marin, mendocino, and contra costa county. he formed productive partnerships with scientists,

engineers, and public officials, including here at the city and county of san francisco like brian strong at the local, state, and national levels. dr. boatwright was an active member of our caps program, the community action plan for seismic safety that led to ground breaking 30-year earthquake safety improvement plan for the city, we call it esip in our parlance, and worked with spur, and abag, the association of bay area governments in order to make the bay area more resilient. dr. boatwright was known for his good human, scientist knowledge, and outspoken pursuit of the truth, and today i would like to offer his wife, tia, and children, our sincere condolences on his passing and

ask that we adjourn today's meeting in his memory. i have a proclamation from the board of supervisors that i would like to give his widow, tia. [applause] >> supervisor kim: so the final

commendation is actually coming from my office, and i have the pleasure of bringing up mike and jean operama from the turk and larkin deli. [applause] >> supervisor kim: so this couple -- and please come up to the mic -- is no stranger to most people in this room. you have probably, at some point in your time at city hall, ventured to the turk and larkin deli to eat one of their delicious salads or sandwiches. [applause] >> supervisor kim: yes. this business has been around as long as i have been alive. it first opened -- mike and jean first opened their shop in 1978, and they have now been in business for 40 years in the tenderloin neighborhood.

[applause] >> supervisor kim: ten years into their ownership, they were able to purchase the building in 1989, when the landlord offer it had to mike and jean, and it was sold to them to become a mini market for the neighborhood as they had their sights set on something big that they can bring to the neighborhood. they opened up their deli just a few -- just a year after getting married, and after going through many ideas, they finally decided to name it the turk and larkin deli, the cross streets of the deli's location in san francisco. they made fresh made salads, as well as a number of different sandwich options. mike is a native of jordan. he i mgrated to san francisco with the dreams of becoming a pilot. jean quit school to work in a sewing factory for six years so

that her siblings could attend high school and college. she then later i mgrated to the u.s. where they took an e.s.l. class together. she would apparently bump her elbow against mike to get their attention. i guess the teacher noticed they were a good pair, and so partnered them up as conversation partners. their english greetings and pleasantries evolved into a very different kind of conversation which led into a marriage of over 40 years, and 40 years of serving the tenderloin neighborhood with some of the freshest and most delicious food in the city. [applause] >> supervisor kim: as you can tell, mike and jean have a lot of fans that actually came all

the way to city hall from the tenderloin when they got this commendation. mike introduced us to jordanian staples along before this became it things to eat here in san francisco. he often talked about the rising costs of living here in san francisco, and we often joke about what was -- became the $10 sa sandwich and now is the $20 sandwich, you still could get a salami sandwich at turk and larkin for $6.25. their five original salads swelled to 30, and they continued for 40 years to become this anchor institution, nourishing the tenderloin for decades. just to talk a little bit about what their commitment means and what it means to be a small

business owner, jean wakes up at 3:30 a.m. and drives from her home to the deli. they arrived by 5:00 a.m. to ensure that the salads will be ready at 10:00 a.m. for our consumption. they've worked incredible hard over the last four decades to fill our lives with love, laughter and unforgettable meals. the deli has been kept the way that it is so long due to its cl clientele. according to jean, everybody wants love, and we have to give love in order to get love. they talk to their customers every day: judges, secretaries, police officers, neighbors, and those who are down on their luck on the streets in the tenderloin, as well. they know -- everyone knows mike and jean by their first name,

and others -- and they know their clientele by their standard orders. you are both so beloved in our community. in fact, four years ago when jean underwent hip surgery, in fact, getting both sides of her hips replaced and was diagnosed with breast cancer, between surgeries, friends and customers alike brought cards and gifts to mike to take home to jean. neither was ready to retire until recently, and we are so sad to hear you go, but no one deserves this retirement than the two of you, and we hope to continue to see you as beloved figures in the neighborhood. you may not be feeding us, but we want you to stay a part of our community. i want to acknowledge their three daughters for their contributions to the business, as well, and thank you for your

hoye 40 year contribution to the tenderloin neighborhood. >> thank you. [applause] >> supervisor kim: so you're welcome to say a few words. >> do you want to say anything? >> thank you very much for the -- i'd just like to say, to us, it's very big things. yeah. we working in the san francisco city for 40 years, but we never been in the city hall and to the things like this, okay? so thank you very much. and i say that we aren't imgrants. we just work for our living. the tenderloin people, they may be poor, but they're going to be somebody else. mother to daughter, how's keeping, father to son, construction jobs, and all they

doing these things to become a good family. their lives, they do that. and now, their kids, they grow up, they work in the hospital technician, and the -- the parents, they did all good job and things like that. when i see that, i'm so happy. i came imgrant, carry two luggages, but i became a life like this, and i'm so thankful to god. everything i do is under god. his blessing is very important, yeah. but i think people work -- honest work to anywhere, anyplace, any time. god bless you, everybody. thank you very much.
