not paying god damn union dues. it is disgusting. you know god damn well you are not paying them enough money. you ain't doing nothing but giving them kibe els and bits with no benefits. it is disgusting. the god damn poop squad makes more than a medical you student working as a nurse-practitioner at france h -- homeless school teacher teaching the students in school. people thinking they are getting a good deal. you ought to be ashamed of your god damn self. >> i am from 10 to 1. i want to thank the supervisors

for taking the lead on this issue and actually making it year whose side they were on, the side of the workers. we want to thank supervisor yee and kim and thank the mayor and staff for negotiating this. we want to thank the solidarity shown by the labor partners and local 2, local 2015, labor council and rudy and the community partners, jobs of justice, living wage coalition and thanks to the workers here for several hearings we have had on this issue at least for the last area. by the way, i want to remind us there are going to be a few nonprofit executives to ask you not to pass this legislation. ask them what they make compared to the lowest paid worker.

some makeover $200,000. they will ask you not to support this legislation. they have plans for you to do nothing. nothing is not an option. we urge you to please vote yes, for the amendments. we support the amendments and the role played by the staff of fewer ander reason -- ronan's office. thank you. >> i want to speak for myself. you know, when you look at and listen to these stories of people trying to take care of il ders, disabled, -- elders, disabled, poor, it really breaks your heart, and payment you look at what is necessary to pass,

you know, a $2 wage increase, you know, in the city where it is filthy with wealth. it is really kind of mind-boggling. it really makes you look forward to the time when we can get rid of this profit system and have workers control society. >> hi. i am kimberly, and i don't know what to say that hasn't been said or what you don't already know. this is my son. i wrote something down fast. i have two jobs. in haim care and work -- in home care and community health and partnership. i just warrant to say i don't want to be on welfare for the rest of my life. i work full and part-time. i qualify for welfare because they know i don't make enough.

it is embarrassing. i want to be like an independent woman and make my baby proud to have a uniform on when she goes to work and take care of people and help society. it is embarrassing i have to carry the food stamp card to the market. it does nothing for my self-esteem. i appreciate the government for assisting people that don't have enough money. i want to transition off welfare , and i am not ability to no matter how much i make. i still get the food stamp card. there is no pride to walk into the market with my nursing scrub s on -- i do in home care so i do wear scrubs. it is it is no pride in walking out pull out my food stamp card because i can't afford to buy my

baby food. that is because -- am i done? at $15 per hour i can't afford to buy my son food. it is heartbreaking. i want to be like that independent woman. i am a single mom. it is hard at $15 per thousand dollars, you know. it is not quite fair to go cook a balanced organic tasty meal in their home, yet when i come home , you know. [applause] >> thank you for your comments. [applause] >> good afternoon, supervisors.

although i have several organizations that i am affiliated with. what matters is i am here with solidarity with ihs and nonprofit workers. both groups keep this city functioning, healthy, and running. i would be remiss not to ask you four your commitment and support to pass the mco with the amendments that have in fact been worked on and put forward. all i want to say is, let's pause and contemplate that for those that only care about profit and don't have any qualms about exploiting workers, well, they don't have a maximum, they don't have have a cap on what their profits they will be and what prophet fits they will -- profits they will seek.

it takes such a struggle to get a raise for a basic minimum for low wageworkers that do suchness work. if we really care, this is a quote i came across a couple days ago. if we care it is not about me, it is about we. we collectively can raise the minimum compensation ordinancena san francisco -- in san francisco. >> good afternoon. i am here to represent and give solidarity to those -- solidarity to those that want living wages. people have to work two or three jobs. that takes away time they need to spend with families. if we want san francisco to function and grow we need to think about those that have not, not just those that have. thank you. i am in support of living wages.

>> my name is ann jane. i am a member of church women united, a coalition of women's faith groups. we send our newsletter to over 100 churches in in this city whose denominations support us. i am joining with many who thank you for passing what you have passed. i also am joining with many who are remarking that in our society of very unequal means of living that there is much more to do and that what -- the people here will keep working for a greater increase in the

wages of these folks, the home healthcare workers and nonprofit workers, but thank you for this much so far so good. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i amroma guy. i want to congratulate you for having a breakthrough in the modern labor and government resource development and pathway in the city and county of san francisco. yes, we have great wealth, but this struggle is new as of today i support the amendments because the path is new. i have been in nonprofits on the governing side, service side, but i really want to emphasize the importance of bringing in ih ss today. they are the modern -- i was going to say women's movement

which is true -- labor movement. i really applaud you you as people who have chosen to attempt to to govern us and we who come to elect you. i want to add one more think about the ihss workers that many of you know about but wasn't named today. i was out there. my experience and i have had experience with ihss workers with individuals i have support ed over the years. of course, all poor. one of the important partings of i hss work is that it reduces acute care and higher level care in our hospitals and in our acute centers which reducing the harm for those having this experience, but also reduces the

cost of what budgets come to you every year. i don't know if you have calculated that. it would be nice to do it. secondly, i think ihss workers provide essential consume -- companionship. >> good afternoon, supervisors, i am truly moved by all of your mobilizing.

i am here on behalf of the women 's collective. they are here standing behind me we look after people, we clean houses, we look for children, and we are here to support all of these amendments. we are here following the light at the end of the tunnel, fighting for struggle to make sure that this industry is paved with honor as it -- honor as it should be.

so we are here to support you in your mission and these amendment s that are very favorable to all of us workers in this industry. thank you very much. >> good afternoon, president and supervisors. i want to urge that the entire board be unanimous on this. i want to suggest that with the minimum wage we were due to get out of the $3.75 about $2 in cost price increases so, you know, that is for the cost going up. we are in squinting range.

i want to thank you for putting it together and sticking to it. 18 months of saying no, of hear ing that, saying no money, we don't don't have enough money can't do it and other people giving excuses has been hard. i think of friends that lift the city that -- left the city that worked in home care that gave up this shows san francisco has the spirit of the city that knows how. i want to thank the supervisors that led for so long on supporting us. fewer and ronen and yee and kim. everyone agreeing to this. i humbly want to thank the mayor it is the kind of mayor that we hope that you will be, and we appreciate you coming step by

step further along. it means a lot to have a yes after 18 months. you know, we are still at it. we will keep working. home care workers are going to have their heads higher knowing that we are appreciated. >> i am allen wong here to stand in solidarity with nonprofit and home care workers after harris versus quinn made home care workers right to work, we saw saw the devastation on the union and workers across the country. i knocked on the doors of the home care workers in san francisco and i met and talked

to many of them. these were people living in tiny inlaw apartments. these were workers that gave up jobs to take care of family members. these are the folks taking care of the most vulnerable people in the city. with the experience that i saw and the people i spoke to that i learned from, you guys are like angels. you are doing incredible work to take care of most vulnerable people. i feel strongly about this. you should be very proud of the work that we did to make this successful. i am so happy that the board of supervisors is doing this. i want to thank the board member s that took the initiative to push this issue to get this to a resolution. thank you all. >>

to the local picket line. when we say we believe women, we actually say we value women's work. we have to say both of those things. the ihss workers are 80% women

of color. this is a gender equity issue, racial justice issue. i thank you supervisors for standing with the workers and women and the people of color during this work and nonprofit workers as well. this is caring work. they are caring for people. this is the women's work that needs respected and fully valued thank you for your leadership. laws. [applause] >> supervisors tim polson secretary treasure of the san francisco building and construction trades council, and the other day when i was in north beach in supervisor peskin 's district, i almost felt like because we had been talking about it for quite a white pla and mco i felt like getting the

six letters printed on my neck. we have been working both the building and trades council and labor council are our priorities for almost two years right now. i want to thank supervisor fewer and row ronan for working with my successor to like jump up and take this over the finish line as a coalition with mayor, it is incredibly important. we have been at this for quite some time. i i i -- i am hoping that for this labor movement we are getting getting a piece of legislation soon i hope these are passed with 11-0 vote today, not 10-1 or 9-2. i hope this is 11-0. we have total unity i want to

thank you for participating we urge this moves across the finish line with the flag up today. thank you. >> iny you -- i think you should support it. i think what we need is to have a freeze right through. those people making $100 million a year we should ask them to come down. if we keep going up that is what the president has in mexico and europe. we can't sell stuff because it is so expensive. everything collapses. i recall when 10 cents an hour was a wage. you are so good. i think good education, good job

, start everything a business are real growth. we have growth next week is going to be over and we can't expect him to get raises. it is a big picture. we need to look at the whole thing. talk to make the millions, bring it down. that is reasonable. as the country's future is at stake. thank you. >> how is it going? i am robert with scia10 two one. i am sharing on behalf of two long time janitors at tenderloin housing clinic. people with family. people who are going to be affected by by the compaction

that is caused by this mco raise and something that i think you guys should consider how are the people who have been at this agency for so long been instrumental to people's recovery from living in un sheltered situations, how are they impacted? the first comment is from veronica who recently had her fourth child. she is a janitor. my job exposes me to dirty and sometimes dangerous situations. janitors do a lot. we don't get paid for it. after work i am going home to four kids. i don't have time for a second job. minimum wage is not enough to pay rent, bills and child care. people like veronica are not making much more than the mco

raise by the fact they worked there for five, 10, 15 years. i also have comment from john. my story is almost like everyone else. i live and work in the city of san francisco. i have two jobs with the rising of rent, food, car, gas, monthly park parking working paycheck to paycheck 17 hours a day. it is not enough but a start. i have to do a lot of over time for the high prices of co-pay for going to the dentist. one job should be enough. that is it. thank you very much. >> exactly 30 years ago i was in rammed k -- in the medical center being rehabilitated.

i learned quickly about the kindness of strangers. in home support of service. help is quite a bitsying a real live person if you are young or old. we are trying to keep the thread s of our society, fabric together. where is the future? are there going to be homes for section 8 and/or for the workers providing for us? in home supportive services people. they need to be in all of our housing. this is an example what is happening here of bringing our government home to our needs, to our people, to our communities, helping our neighborhoods stay healthy.

thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors, i am marry mary mcgee. i am a happy constituent of district 9. i thank the people that work so hard on this. i trust all of you will vote for it. one has to say, i think it is a little troubling to think how hard this was, how long this took. how much effort it took. i liked what guy said about the beginning. $17 isn't enough to live in san francisco. i kindly have worked in the tenderloin for 4.5 years. i am currently working at the clinic for low income seniors associated with the wonderful

nonprofit curry senior senator. i work alongside nonprofit worker whose are paid less and work just as hard. we as society need to pause and honor you heroes and ihss workers. they are heroes. i can't tell you will the conditions these patientsra living. the patient may be incontinent. the resident may have had surgery, the elevator, can we talk about the elevators breaking down constantly? ihss people get them food and help them cleanup. some of the seniors in their 70 s are ihss working six or seven days an week. thank you for your yes vote. >> good afternoon, i am the

president of local 86 represent ing janitors and secretary treasure for the san francisco labor council. i stand with the workers from the 2015 from from the sister local and nonprofit locals from 1021. i want to ask you today to make sure that this piece of legislation not just setting the standard on national level but all of the families you carry on your shoulders for all of the districts representing san francisco, this is a huge jump to what the standard is going to be set for, and i want to tell you the best way to comment a worker is to show them on what they have on their paycheck. the best comments to give a worker. it shows that you understand on our shoulders are the families we are trying to put food on the

table for, the roof we are try goes to provide. in home support service work is not easy. it is very painstaking hard job. when those elderly seniors are left behind have no family, this is the family that becomes their s. they are the ones that show dignity to the elderly people who have taken care of the city. i want to ask every every one of our supervisors to please stand up. please stand. on everyone of your shoulders you can it is if you don't want to. i thank you. when you take this vote it took a collaboration between the mayor and that board of supervisors with this leadership this. is what delivers and the san francisco families wanted. they want to make sure on your

shoulders i carry all of these. [applause.] >> i am debbie speaking for the san francisco human services network and the nonprofits that expressed concerns about this legislation. we all agree nonprofit workers need andy serve higher wages. we have been saying this for 20 years. the discussion is not about whether but how we do that while guaranteeing the sustainability of our organizations and services our clients rely on as we have detailed in our letters, we have concerned about the funding and unintended consequences of the legislation which ask an unstanded mandate for the nonihss nonprofits with a potential cost of $20 million.

everybody declared victory. this is not a win until it is funded. we must ask the board and mayor four commitment today for full funding of the true cost associated with this legislation this needs to be a shared city priority. when you talk about this next year this needs to be number one and not part of the ad-back process. we need the same protections any other ihss does. we appreciate the creation of a working group the proposed make upto discuss the complex policy issues involved lacks expertise around experience of how to run nonprofit organization. we ask you a the language to eliminate specific numbers. simply let the controller cobs

-- constitute the number of the policy conversation to address the impacts. i ask everybody to commit to the fight for $20 million to pay for this. thank you. >> next speaker. hello, esteemed board. christopher christian son with the ilwu local 10 and ilwu northern california legislative committee and delegate on the labor council. i am here to support the mco and support the as. local 10 stand this is solidarity with 10 to one and 2015. low wage nonprofit and in home healthcare workers are critical to serving our most vulnerable

we are still committed to engag ing in a conversation. that doesn't happen in a closed room and doesn't get back to us on the worker workers that rely on. someone just called me what did they tell me about this issue? nonprofit executive directors cannot be separate from the work and labor that affectses people we are to serve. the fact it including workers from nose nonprofits i see can think of no one better to speak on the issues how the contracts will affect them. they are the ones affected by the wage compaction. we know that is true and we are admitted to that -- commit -- committed to that. for for your leadership and your vote today i am appreciative. i will thank you after the wet

vote. i want to say something about collaboration. it is important to what we are trying to do. a budget was once told to me it is a statement of your value, a statement of your priorities. you would make these low wageworkers and the work they do nonprofit and ihss your priority says something about you as a body, as a individual and as a city. please vote to support these amendments. >> thank you. any other members of the public to comment? seeing none. public comment is closed. all right. colleagues. do the sponsors are you interested in a motion supervisor fewer. >> a motion to accept the

sustainability mission, even though the bikes are very minimal energy use. it still matters where the energy comes from and also part of the mission in sustainability is how we run everything, run our business. so having the lights come on with clean energy is important to us as well. we heard about cleanpowersf and learned they had commercial rates and signed up for that. it was super easy to sign up. our bookkeeper signed up online, it was like 15 minutes. nothing has changed, except now we have cleaner energy. it's an easy way to align your environmental proclivities and goals around climate change and

it's so easy that it's hard to not want to do it, and it doesn't really add anything to the bill. let's get started. we've got some ice cream to serve. good afternoon. my name is phil ginsberg, and i am proud to work for the mayor and be part of the one of the best park systems in our country. as president of the rec and park commission, mark buell often notes that victory or success has many parents. today, we celebrate an incredible community and city agency partnership that is giving this neighborhood what it most deserves, a win.

the civic center neighborhood welcomes people from all communities: from little saigon, hard working local merchants, visitors, museum and library goers, to the children who visit our family playground does. if victory has many parents, victory also loves soft ice cream. and if that's true, we have our children to thank. will celeste step forward? celeste drew plans for this playground, and at the end, when we asked her if it needed anything else, she said...

>> soft ice cream. >> soft ice cream. so we owe a huge thanks to the kids of the tenderloin for their mission. all right. we have many people to thank, and a few different speakers, and we're going to get through the program as quickly as we can, but to celebrate with us today is our mayor, london breed. i confess, i don't know her favorite brand of ice cream, but we'll find out. she is here at civic center every day, and it is my great honor to introduce our mayor, london breed. >> the hon. london breed: wow. what an amazing community. thank you all for being here today. we know we face many challenges in our city that i am trying to address as mayor with so many people that we are addressing

today. there is one thing that i am kmipted to doing, and that is making sure that civic center and this area is a safe, fun, and happy place for children and parents alike. so i'm excited for these parks and as someone who's looking for a good place to have lunch and a good place to have lunch close to city hall, i am so excited for birite here. i want to thank captain of the northern station, captain engler, who spends a lot of time here making sure people are safe. i want to thank hunders point families for the work that you continue to do. i spent a lot of time, as some of you know in this area, trying to address some of the challenges, and i want to thank the homeless outreach team as

well as the department of public works, it really does take a village of people to try and help many people that we know are struggling. and part of making sure that you all have an amazing experience at civic center has everything to do with activating this space and keeping it available for everyone. our goal is to make sure that everyone feels welcome in civic center. and so let me tell you two initiatives that were as a result of birite opening here on this corner in san francisco. first of all, birite is going to be partnering with the san francisco libraries, so kids who visit the children's room and a teen room are going to get a sticker where they can basically redeem pieces of fruit. now i know they were thinking ice cream. it's free pieces of fruit.

we're trying to keep you healthy. and let me also say this before i bring up sam, the owner of birite. so when i was supervisor in district five, and birite moved into the divisadero in the neighborhood, in the nopa neighborhood, his company spends so much time working in the community, hiring from the community. they really invested in the community, so when they decided to come to the community, the community welcomed them with open arms, and they became a natural part of the community. this was their second store, after their store in the mission district. we were proud to welcome them here, and they are very much committed to hiring people who live in this community, which i am so excited about, and they are people of their word because

many of the people that they hire in the western addition are still working at birite and in some instances have been promoted. so i just love the fact that they love san francisco and they're committed to making sure that the opportunity here to be in civic center is an opportunity here for all of the residents in civic center. so with that, i'd like to bring up sam to say a few words. [applause] >> thank you. thank you. she said it all, right? there isn't much more that i need to say. i did want to thank you, mayor breed, and phil, and jackie, for everything you did to make this happen. i mean, this has been an extraordinary project. i also want to give a huge thanks to the birite team. you all know who you are. you've all worked so hard, i couldn't have done you all. i want to thank my wife and our two daughters for putting up

with me i am, like, especially excited to have my father and uncle here, along with my mom and my aunt. they started birite in 1964. i reluctantly inherited it back in 1998, and it's become something that's had such a community impact. as a native san franciscan. any other natives out there? yeah. to be here, in front of city hall, in the heart of our city, it's kind of a dream, right? it's -- i'm excited. i'm excited to be partnered with everybody on this project. super excited about the alignment of vision and how perfectly, you know, our cafe being right here on this corner

lines up with our community for food. i saw the impact we had on our community. that block, when i took it over, had storefronts that were covered with metal grates. we took those grates down, and all of a sudden, we saw things happen. 300 jobs are created in that 1800 block of eighth street. things had happening in the divisadero, and that's why i'm excited to be here now. that's the power of good food. it brings people today. it slows us down, it allows us to communicate -- except when your mouth is full, right? i'm excited to feed kids, to partner with this library with the program that we're going to have with the main library.

we're going to continue working with the same businesses that we've worked with the same dozen years in this community, but we can't do it alone. we need you to come back tomorrow, come back the next day, come and hangout, eat, share the love. thank you all. [applause] >> thank you, sam. one other person deserves a very, very, very special acknowledgement before we move onto our next couple of speakers. under president obama, sayery jewel was the secretary of the interior, and she said excellence is the foundation of education. a heard felt thank you to you, jackie, who serves as the president of her family

foundation. for those of you that don't know, it is jackie's gift thats helped us build both these playgrounds and this amazing cafe, but even more is her transformational vision to take a chance on all of this, and for believe in the community, private sector, and public-private partnerships, and using the community for good. thank you so, so, so, so much. if sam could come back up -- jackie, we want you to have this on us. sam, i was going to say your business is just about perfect, but it's missing that. i now want to bring up phil batali representing the trust for public land. the trust works with us in nine partnership projects across the city over the last decade, their

most recent endeavor, partnership with us is this, the new helen diller civic center playground. they have done more for this city than many people know, so i'm proud to bring up phil batali, the senior manager for t.p.l. >> the trust for public land is excited to be here, celebrating with all you partner. at the t.p.l., we make sure that everyone has a quality playground within a ten-minute walk of these playgrounds. over the past several years, we've partnered with the tenderloin and civic center communities to improve the parks and their densely populated

neighborhood. we've heard it through the design and renovation of several playgrounds. the community brought up the idea of having a place for seating and a spot for the community to come together and enjoy a stay in this amazing plaza, and thanks to the generosity of jackie safir and the robinson family foundation, this vision has become a reality. there were many people involved in this project, and i want to give a shout out of thanks. first, i want to give jackie sefir for their vision and creation in the city. i want to thank phil ginsberg, and i want to thank the trust

for public land, our board and our staff, the project manager for this project, who isn't here today but led us with graze and dedication. i want to thank our design team, and the contractors who did the construction as well as the many other consultants and contractors who were involved in this project. i want to thank sam and the entire birite team, and last but not least, i want to thank the community members who were designed in this process. this project isn't the first nor the last that the land project is committed working with the community to improve this public space. we boast new swings, open space, and not only snacks, but snacks by birite.

>> thank you. madam mayor, as you know, under the direction of director bowel, and commissioners francisco and low, san francisco is one of the few cities where every citizen lives within a ten minute walk of the park. the numerous agencies are a part of the success and representing all of them and his own amazing department to talk about health and vibrancy is our fantastic police chief, bill scott. >> thank you, phil. just take a second and take a look behind you. isn't this beautiful? this is really beautiful, and this is -- this is what san francisco is all about, so first, let me begin by saying

thank you to the community. at the san francisco community, we are part of a larger community. we know that, and it is our goal to work among the community and with the community to make transformations like this happen. and i want to give thanks to, first of all, our mayor, mayor london breed. with her leadership, her sense of urgency, we have seen just a tremendous amount of work and collaboration in making this happen. phil ginsberg in rec and park. one of the things with the sfpd and the things that we have to do to keep this city safe is work with other community partnering. this has really changed the game at civic center commons, so phil and your team, thank you for that. so if you've walked around the area in the last month or so,

you've probably noticed some differences. we have committed as a city to really take care of what i believe is the front yard of our city government. this is the front yard of city government. the mayor has made it a top priority, we have made it a top priority, of course, because the mayor made it a top priority. but even with that being said, it takes a community to make this happen. you did see san francisco police officers in tenderloin district that starts right across the street along with a whole host of city departments, department of public health and city housing. department of public health, we know we have to work together to make our city safer, cleaner and really restore of beauty of what this city is all about. we have to be consistent, persistent, and we're committed to doing that.

every time we increase the programming in an area like this, i think we have a better chance of sustaining our ability to make our city shine, and that is what we are committed to do. so i hope everybody's enjoying the beauty of this day. please enjoy it. return, shop at birite. i just met sam for the first time today, and i've got to say, it is just really, really heart are warming and impressive to see all of this come together. i'll speak on behalf of all the men and woman of the san francisco police department. we are so fortunate to be blessed and a part of this wonderful community, so thank you. [applause] >> all right. just a -- a few thank yous, but sam apparently has said that his soft ice cream server that he hired to come out -- serve --
