blatantly racist and greedy. but when my favorite city cosigns these acts of greed and racism, i see a classless act of governance. last week, an arbitration judge ruled the golden state warriors must pay oakland the $40 million they owe oracle in bond debt. warriors sued oakland and alameda to avoid paying the debt in a ridiculous technicality. just because they felt they were leaving they didn't need to pay their bill. when i wrote proposition i, i had this in mind, this lame excuse in mind. the measure stated that san francisco would stand opposed to

all professional sports teams owners who tried to avoid paying public debt. 98,000 san franciscans and an arbitration judge agreed with me. but 131,000 san franciscans, including every member of this board, disagreed with me. what did they say? it is okay to dine and dash, as long as we get the warriors to come back to the city we sent them from. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors. mayor breed has announced that she is addressing the problem of homeless young adults and internships for these young adults. rapid rehousing is the model

currently under study for the housing and internships with young adults that are forth coming. one of the keys to this action being successful jobs. having accessibility living wage jobs assures that the mayor's ideas will have a chance of being successful because they have choices. make them shine is a social enterprise with a green bottom line. we are a green certified lead finish floor company, and he with put the shine back into floors and lives. all of our surfaces and products are green, and i've been -- [inaudible] >> -- that all buildings in san francisco aspire to, an environmentally clean building. our platform allows nonprofits that have job metrics placements in them the ability to connect with us and help fulfill our hiring goals of 300 people in our first quarter. the training and orientation period for this job is ten days,

and that vetting will be done for san francisco residents only. we will be paying a living wage at $20 an hour with full dental and medical and assistance with child care for single parents and incentive based pay raises. any way, my reasons for being here in this chambers is to connect with the nonprofits in their districts that can meet up with us to meet our job goals and for the nonprofits to meet goals with their clients. i am particularly interested in working with people of disabilities because our ease of application allows us to offer jobs of that community of people and other disen frfranchized an marginalized and people of color.

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> all right. so the deal is, this homeless hate has just got to be recognized. i'm telling you that the language that's out there in the paper, it's like homeless people and all the homeless people, in other words, leave trash. all the homeless people make messes. and now they are starting to criminalizing and decivilizing mentally ill people that have drug and alcohol problems that are homeless, but not the ones that live in houses. gays have a lot of alcohol issues, a lot of mental health issues, housing issues, should we force them to get help? no, just the homeless. i'm contacting all these world organizations. maybe they'll care. maybe i'll start my own

organization, or maybe god is going to care. i'm cleaning twin peaks, still, and people are pigging backing off of me. i don't get enough to eat, and i'm poor. the tour company doesn't pay a penny, you don't pay a penny. i'm picking up the trash, i'm going hungry. i've restored tourism before. tourists wouldn't come here because the city was filthy. it wasn't the homeless people, the city didn't clean. i have evidence of this. it's the scapegoating the homeless people, shame, shame, shame. you' you're like picking on a little sissy girl. i want you to pay me what i need because people aren't paying me what i deserve. my name was been trashed by you. i want a retraction by you. you're going to be sued or

something's going to be happening. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker. [inaudible] >> i don't have quite the mojo that some of the other speakers have had. i come here to point out that this november 11 is the centennial of the great war, armistice day. the only member of that board who sat in this room who got a congressional medal of honor is philip katz. further, there are two more members i want to point out. they are memorialized. one was daniel callahan that

stood up to the japanese tokyo express in november 1942 at guadalcanal, and the other is richard schoenman who was also on that ship, and he taught at st. ignatius. i would point out that callahan was a graduate of that institution. i would like to wish some supervisors the best of holidays. i know some of you are retiring. i would like to invite you to the irish pub, drinks, god bless you. >>clerk: thank you for your comment, sir. next speaker. >> hello.

my name is nicholas reynald, and i am a conservative jewish man, and i would like a moment of silence for all the jewish folks that were killed this past saturday at shabbat, so can we have a moment of silence, please. thank you. >> thank you, everybody. i also want to publicly acknowledge that i have been a person who has said hateful things in these chambers. i think supervisor peskin said you can't fight hate speech with hate speech, and today, i acknowledge that that is true, supervisor peskin. i want to apologize to kathy --

katy tang for all the vile, ad hominem attacks that i have perpetrated on her for close to 18 months. i have never intended to hurt or scare or make any board of supervisors or any staff member here ever fearful. i can only say i let myself righteous indignation justify saying disrespectful things, so i respectfully apologize to all the asian community, to the supervisors and to the asian community that was here on other issues. from the bottom of my heart, i apologize, and i hope that at some point in time you can accept my apology. thank you so much. >>clerk: thank you for your

comment. next speaker. >> thank you. >>clerk: overhead. >> tim gilberti. an old neighbor of mine. she was born in south beach minimal apartments, and the day she was born, her mother went back in the emergency room, ambulance, to the hospital. touch and go for a few days. and they're a happy family. a lovely family, and we would have loved to have them stay.

but they got a full -- $400 rent increase, and the next year, they got the same. before i could snap another pictures of the baby that was successful, mother and son survived pleasantly, they had to leave. i couldn't even get a photograph. another neighbor, south beach apartments. she was there, living with her daughter, mid50's, worked at ucsf. lived there about six, seven years. they got a $600 rent increase mostly because we could accommodate an admiral at the america's cup. both of these groups of people just wanted -- would have loved to have been part of our neighborhood.

we need to change market rate rents in this city. they need to be come down to where you can live, you can raise a family, and you can die in your place and keep the fabric of the society whole and healthy. it's up to you guys to make some moves. the same is lame. i saw that on a jacket just recently. thank you. >>clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> my demonstrations today is going to further demonstrate a misappropriations of funds. there's approximately on or about $400,000 spent on a report that was bunk, okay? it was fraud and put together by

the department of public works, claiming that the city is in near cleanliness and one of the better cities in the overall united states, okay? the findings cost the department of public works $408,745 with j.b.r. partners which began in 2014 and expires in 2018. these are examples of the streets of san francisco are not up to code. in fact, in 2017, you had a cleanliness score in 2017, the san francisco services had 58,819 complaints about trash across the city. complaints of trash

>>clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please.

>> thank you, madam clerk. my name is wynne chip hilliard. as you know, the response to the 9-11 attacks, the patriot act basically gutted the foreign intelligence act of 1978, allowing

9-11, and an average of 40 filings per week after 9-11. this cannot be accounted for by lpsa involuntary commitments through 5150 or related code sections because the san francisco mental health code system did not increase in capacity by a factor of 19 in one month. they can also not be explained by laura's law. laura's law wasn't even passed until 2002, and it didn't go into effect in this city until 2014, which is not even on that graph. these -- these, i believe, are involuntary incompetency to stand trial determinations arranged -- well, i'm out of

time. madam clerk. >>clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> i just wanted to say, i've removed several truckloads of weapons from the latino community in a deweaponization attempt under u.n. authorization. there is a new customs and immigration facility in ciudad hidalgo. there were buildings that were 25, 30 years old, so three months later, they received those buildings. i let the u.s. embassy know

there was a glitch in the system. [inaudible] >> i used to know the military patrols that patrol the borders. recently, two individuals lost their lives in unnecessary and preventible deaths while participating in approximate a caravan of illegal immigrants. press reports have stated that bay area press organizations have helped to organize this tragic spectacle, and i believe that one nation can only have one immigration policy, so you guys should try not to encourage law breaking. >>clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> madam president, it happened to be the case that there was a killing a few years ago at

northern illinois university, and my sister was the head administrator at the hospital there. she had to -- she had to cleanup the mess from that, and myself, you know, i live a couple blocks from the dalt shooting a few years ago. only thing i noticed out of place was a gun man on top of a building a couple blocks away. it was a police officer. i think we're heading into troubled times, and the dismissal of the president and the failure of the federal authorities to do anything about this. you know, it's almost like they're part of the problem. you know, the other thing that was said at this meeting that struck me was a few years ago, my campaign staff moved up to the little town of bidwell, and we were walking around, and we thought we saw these big fish in the water. and no, bidwell creek is only

2 feet deep. but it turned out it was trout, it turned out it was salmon, chinook salmon, and we went up to a different part of the creek, and we saw more of these fish two and 3 feet long. the interesting thing is the last time we saw them are 30 years ago. some people might say these are disconnected, but i think they are connected. we're heading into hard times, and i think we should think about broad solutions. >>clerk: thank you for your comment. madam president? >> president cohen: thank you very much. all right. madam clerk, could you read the adoption without -- excuse me? public comment is closed. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: madam

clerk, could you please read the adoptions without reference. >>clerk: [agenda item read] >> president cohen: thank you. is there any member that would like to sever an item in supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: sever item 41. >> president cohen: thank you. are there any other colleagues that would like to sever any items? all right. supervisor ronen would like to sever item 41. can we take the remaining items same house, same call. all right. we'll adopt these unanimously. >>clerk: item 41 would be a motion for the board of supervisors to sit at as a committee of the whole to consider the marriott workers strike in san francisco. >> president cohen: supervisor ronen.

>> supervisor ronen: thank you. i want to thank those who signed on requesting a special meeting, and a special thanks to president cohen who's not going to be able to be here that day, but who helped us facilitate this process. as you know, 2300 workers have been on strike now. they walked out alongside thousands of other workers. this goes to the heart of the economy, it raises questions about the kind of jobs we will support in the coming years, and these are questions that i think the board needs to hear about firsthand. therefore, i have called a hearing on the strike. the motion before you is to have this hearing heard as a committee of the whole as a special board meeting so the entire board can hear testimony about the strike, its causes and its effects. this strike touches on every subject that everyone in our committee deals with, and i understand a similar hearing

during the hotel lockout in 2004 played an important role in bringing that dispute to the resolution. i hope not only workers will come but marriott executives, as well. i have formally requested that ann sorenson, president of marriott international attend this board meeting. again, i want to thank president cohen and my colleagues and staff for working with my office on scheduling this meeting. i would like to make a motion to amend the motion to include the date and time of the special meeting which will be november 2 at 12:30 p.m. in the chamber. i would also like to add the date the clerk of the board received the special meeting request, which was october 20, 2018. >> president cohen: supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: i just wanted to announce that unfortunately, i will not be in the city and county of san francisco on november 2 and will be unable to attend but did

attend the 2006 special meeting on a friday when the lockout happened. >> president cohen: all right. we'll give you extra credit for that one. any other comments, colleagues? all right. so supervisor ronen has made a motion. is there a second to her motion. supervisor yee has seconded supervisor ronen's motion. can we take this same house, same call. >>clerk: we need to take the amendment without objection. >> president cohen: take the amendment without objection. okay. as amended, what do you say, colleagues, same house, same call? okay. without objection. [ gavel ]. >> president cohen: thank you. all right. madam clerk, i think that brings us to close to our end of our agenda. >>clerk: yes. >> president cohen: is there any other business? >>clerk: we have our in memo memorials? >> president cohen: all right.

please read them. >>clerk: on behalf of the entire board for the following victims who lost their lives in the pittsburgh synagogue shooting, irving wax, jerry rabinowitz, joyce fienberg, daniel stein, richard gottfried, cecil rosenthal, and david rosenthal. >> president cohen: all right. thank you. ladies and gentlemen, i just want to say thank you to our friends at sfgov tv for assisting us in this broadcast, and our meeting is adjourned. thank you.

>> we broke ground in december of last year. we broke ground the day after sandy hook connecticut and had a moment of silence here. it's really great to see the silence that we experienced then and we've

experienced over the years in this playground is now filled with these voices. >> 321, okay. [ applause ] >> the park was kind of bleak. it was scary and over grown. we started to help maclaren park when we found there wasn't any money in the bond for this park maclaren. we spent time for funding. it was expensive to raise money for this and there were a lot of delays. a lot of it was just the mural, the sprinklers and we didn't have any grass. it was that bad. we worked on sprinkler heads and grass and we fixed everything. we worked

hard collecting everything. we had about 400 group members. every a little bit helped and now the park is busy all week. there is people with kids using the park and using strollers and now it's safer by utilizing it. >> maclaren park being the largest second park one of the best kept secrets. what's exciting about this activation in particular is that it's the first of many. it's also representation of our city coming together but not only on the bureaucratic side of things. but also our neighbors, neighbors helped this happen. we are thrilled that today we are seeing the fruition of all that work in this city's open space. >> when we got involved with this park there was a broken swing set and half of -- for

me, one thing i really like to point out to other groups is that when you are competing for funding in a hole on the ground, you need to articulate what you need for your park. i always point as this sight as a model for other communities. >> i hope we continue to work on the other empty pits that are here. there are still a lot of areas that need help at maclaren park. we hope grants and money will be available to continue to improve this park to make it shine. it's a really hidden jewel. a lot of people don't know it's here. >> hi, i'm lawrence corn field.

welcome to building san francisco. we have a special series, stay safe. we're looking at earthquake issues. and today we're going to be talking with a residential building owner about what residential building owners and tenants can and should do before earthquakes and after earthquakes. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at this wonderful spur exhibit on mission street in san francisco and i have with me today my good friend george. thanks for joining me, george. and george has for a long time owned residential property here in san francisco. and we want to talk about apartment buildings and what the owner's responsibilities might be and what they expect their tenants to do. and let's start by talking a

little bit about what owners can do before an earthquake and then maybe after an earthquake. >> well, the first thing, lawrence, would be to get together with your tenants and see if they have earthquake insurance or any renters insurance in place because that's going to be key to protecting them in the event of a quake. >> and renters insurance, there are two kinds of insurance. renters insurance coffers damage to goods and content and so forth. earthquake insurance is a separate policy you get after you get renters insurance through the california earthquake authority, very inexpensive. and it helps owners and it helps tenants because it gives relocation costs and it pays their rent. this is a huge impact on building owners. >> it's huge, it really is. you know, a lot of owners don't realize that, you know, when there is an earthquake, their money flow is going to stop. how are they going to pay their mortgages, how are they going to pay their other bills, how are they going to live? >> what else can property

owners do in residential rental housing before an earthquake? >> well, the first thing you want to do is get your property assessed. find out what the geology is at your site. get an expert in to look at structural and nonstructural losses. the structural losses, a lot of times, aren't going to be that bad if you prepare. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. get in there and get your property assessed and figure it out. >> so, what is a nonstructural issue that might cause losses? >> well, you know, pipes, for instance. pipes will whip around during an earthquake. and if they're anchored in more numerous locations, that whipping won't cause a breakage that will cause a flood. >> i've heard water damage is a major, major problem after earthquakes actually. >> it is. that's one of the big things. a lot of things falling over, ceilings collapsing. but all of this can be prevented by an expert coming in and assessing where those

problem areas and often the fixes are really, really cheap. >> who do you call when you want to have that kind of assessment or evaluation done? >> the structural engineering community is great. we have the structural engineers association of northern california right here in san francisco. they're a wealth of information and resources. >> what kinds of things might you encourage tenants to do besides simply get tenants renters insurance and earthquake insurance, what else do you think tenants should do? >> i think it's really important to know if they happen to be in the building where is the safest place for them to go when the shaking starts. if they're out of the building, whats' their continuity plan for connecting with family? they should give their emergency contact information to their resident manager so that the resident manager knows how to get in touch. and have emergency supplies on hand. the tenants should be responsible to have their extra water and flashlights and

bandages and know how to use a toilet when there's no sewage and water flows down. and the owners of the building should be proactive in that regard as well. >> so, george, thank you so much for joining us. that was really great. and thanks to spur for hosting us here in this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for joining us

>> meeting is called to order. >> (roll call). >> so moved. >> second. >> any public comment? all in favor? aye. >> motion to go into executive session. >> second. executive session. >> can i have a motion to reconvene in open session. >> all in favor. >> aye. >> i make a motion we don't reveal anything
