majority of the community and what they told me that was most important to them was to see affordable housing get to be built on divisadero, especially the broader communities throughout the western edition. was excited to see this housing come forward. a lot of african-american community told me they would love to have affordable housing and they would apply for especially now that they could use neighborhood preference. and this was my goal. get the most affordable housing for people from the community ensuring projects get built. one other thing i heard across the board from this community was they did not want it taller that 65 feet. so giving everything i heard from the hundred of community members i met with, i feel we're in the right numbers now. as 20% for on-site rentals for

the pipeline projects, 650 divisadero and 23% for on site rentals for future projects, which follows home sf tier one and i want to thank the board for all of its hard wosrk and fr home sf, the city density bonus that i work closely with and want to come in alignment with the n.c.t.s. it was important to write it to be as closely aligned as possible. especially with respect to the process in place to review and adjust inclusionary rates in the future, if appropriate. and i took the fillmore

corridor, which was on this legislation, but had to take it off, and the reason was the height was 50 feet and it didn't work with this type of ri legislation. so i wanted to thank the community for its engagement and, frankly, for its patience and i go out to the community to discuss the n.c.t. on that corridor and to see what they want on that corridor as we move forward. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. supervisor kim? >> supervisor kim: i want to congratulate supervisor brown for bringing this ordinance before the board for, i believe, three years and commend you for raising the affordability to the

maximum that we believe the project sponsors could provide ensuring that housing will get built. i want to support this. i do want to note that supervisor brown is increasing to between 10 to 24 and goes above and beyond our current section. happy to see it move forward and excited for the plan and i will not be here, but i look forward to to what will come as a next step. >> president cohen: any other members? seeing none. same house, same call? all right. without objection. this ordinance is passed on the first reading. congratulations, supervisor brown. madam clerk, it's 2:31. can we pivot it our 2:30 order?

>> clerk: yes. >> president cohen: we have four commendations. supervisor safai will recognize someone very special. >> supervisor safai: i rise to give a special certificate to carolyn teng from meta. we'll bring you up to say a few words in a moment. she has worked at meta for 5 years and was a board member for many years prior. it has strengthened the vitality of the latino and immigrant community. they've expanded to many more

areas of concern, getting into the area of education and education empowerment as well. she's in a field that's male-dominated and being a woman of color and a strong voice for women, one of the reasons that i wanted to honor her today. i had the great fortune of working with her over the last six months to a year. she called me on a friday afternoon and said, supervisors, you are not responding to your emails. it was an opportunity to purchase the city working with m meta the largest small site accusation. 23 units of housing.

6 units of commercial space. making it the largest in history and first nonrent control. we were able to do that. she moves aggressively. and we closed that deal in three months from the first phone call on a friday afternoon. i had the great pleasure of working with her on that. in 2014, she established the real estate program for reverse displacement in the mission district and many of the communities in our city that are experiencing phenomenal displacement as has been talked about over and over again at the board of supervisors here. because of that, and because of the rapidity of gentrification

for much of her work, being a leader in the field, that we've been able to moving a re-- move aggressively to stem that tide. there is now innovative solutions to not just stop but reverse displacement. there's been almost 1,200 units preserves or in the pipeline for seniors and other san franciscos vulnerable to displacement. she is one of the most dynamic developers in the bay area and i wanted to give her a special, special comment asian -- commendation for all the work she's done. please come forward and say a few words. [cheers and applause]

>> thank you. had i known you were going to do this, i would have had to arm wrestle you. i could not agree more with everything that you said. caroline, you are a very special person. and if everyone had your brilliance, tenacity, urgency, and strategic skill, we would be thriving. i just want to thank you so much for your dedication to this community. you can do whatever you want to do and you have chosen to spend your life fighting for people that desperately need housing that's affordable. it's a gift. it's a gift to the city. it's a gift to the mission district. it's a gift to meta.

as the district 9 supervisor and so much of your working in district 9, it's a gift to me. thank you. thank you, thank you for your work. we appreciate you so much. we'll be by your side. congratulations. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. this is an amazing honor. when i started five years ago, i didn't think this is where i would be standing. to be rooted in san francisco today is very, very hard, as many of us know, who have been fighting for our family. in the mission district, it's been even harder. when i came it meta as a board member 12 years ago, i kept on asking my co-workers who were working in san francisco and my

peers, why aren't we doing anything about the mission district? why are we letting the narrative tell itself that this is another community that we can lose because the market forces can help because redevelopment can happen all over again. no one had the strength and tenacity to answer that question. working on meta's board and with luis, i realized that this board, even though they weren't doing housing at the time, had the vision to think, this neighborhood can stay as a neighborhood, welcoming immigrants and welcoming people to be in san francisco. so it's the team i work with. junior folks who i've had the honor of working alongside and growing them so they can say this is where they want to be,

that it's a pathway of work for them. i want to be sure that beyond community development, growing jobs for construction folks and for small businesses it's been keeping those in place. it's not my honor. it's the honor for the folks that i work with i appreciate all of you. thank you so much. i think that's it. making sure i didn't forget anything. thank you. [applause]

>> president cohen: thank you. congratulations. supervis supervisor nandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: i do. excellent. we're going to talk today about

united against hate week, which is happening november 11-18. and it's a call for civic action for people to stop the hate and biases that are a threat to the safety and civility of our towns and cities. last fall, when members of white supremacyist groups wanted to hold demonstrations, there was an idea that they were not welcome in the area. united against hate was a reaction to the sharp rise in our communities, with the coal of residents to take action and alter the course of this growing intolerance. we saw the heartbreaking murder of 11 worshippers at the tree of life synagogue and senseless killing of two african-american seniors in a supermarket parking lot. we will be observing transgender day remembrance, saying the names of people who have been

murdered in the united states this year. we were all affected by the crimes, but in san francisco, we think that these acts of hate don't occur here. in 2017, san francisco experienced a 31% increase of hate crimes. in the first two years of the trump administration, we're seeing reports of immigrants, muslims and other communities that has been targeted, yes, even here in our city. as the board's lgbt member i've heard an alarming number of attacks in castro and south of market. i'm proud that we're joining berkeley and oakland and want to thank mayor breed and her staff, especially the mayor's office for making that happen. want to thank united against hate week to combat hate and violence and the co-chairs of the campaign, patrice o'neal,

and jacqueline mccormick, as well as district 8 residents and super volunteer, susan porter-beckstead. i would like patrice to share more information. >> thank you. thank you, supervisor mandelman. we all know what's at stake. we've spoken about the dangers. we were at a screening with the district attorney's office, who says, normally she would handle five hate crimes at one time and new she's up to 15 all the time and it's increasing. there are over 22 cities, cou counties and campuses across the

bay area for united against hate week. it's an attempt by local municipalities, the leaders from cities, to join with their community leaders to say, we can do more if we act together. and the cities are saying, it's a social priority for us. with this comment asian, you are affirming that this is a social priority in this amazing city. we're proud that you are with us and hope that we can do more and more in san francisco next year. we hope this spreads. this is not a one-week thing. no one can stop hate in a week. we have to do more. thank you for being with us. >> supervisor mandelman: we have

some signs here and lots in our office. >> president cohen: thank you. [cheers and applause] are you taking a picture? thank you. congratulations to you, ms. o'neal. thank you. [applause] ladies and gentlemen, i have three special commendations that i will be presenting today. first of all, i want to recognize ms. carol e. tatum. is she here today? carol, where are you? [cheers and applause]

come on down, please. come on down to the microphone. this is carol e. tatum. she is so wonderful. this is a recognition long overdue. she's been a resource to the community. a mother, grandmother, aunty, to many people, not only her children. she's raised her family in visitation valley neighborhood. i want to say in recognition of your accomplishments as a community leader for your advocacy and supporting women in business, young community developers and being an outstanding resident, it's a privilege to recognize you and your outstanding leadership. this is a woman of high moral and ethical character. she knows what she's talking about. and she does it with style and grace. so i'm privileged to be able to recognize you in front of this

body. it is well overdue and deserves. ladies and gentlemen, welcome and acknowledge carol e. tatum. [cheers and applause] >> wow. i want to say thank you, first of all, good afternoon, board of supervisors. i want to say thank you to supervisor cohen, someone who i watched grow from a young woman to a strong leader. 5 also want to congratulate her as she is going to be serving on the board -- state board of equalization. [applause] >> president cohen: thank you. >> i want to do that first and foremost. i have family and friends in the room and i want to thank you as well. i would ask you to please stand

up. >> president cohen: family and friends, look at that. >> thank you so much. i'm honored that i'm one of the african-americans in san francisco who has not been outmigrated. i want to say that first and foremost. it's been wonderful growing up in the city. i came here in 1955. i went to james denman middle school, balboa high school, city college of san francisco and san francisco state university. and social services and advocacy, and work alongside so many leaders. a lot of them women leaders,

leaders such as ms. elois westbrook, ms. shirley jones, and the first advocate woman that i came in contact with was ms. mary helen rodgers, while working at way pack, the citizens arm to deal with redevelopment in what was the fillmore and now is the western addition as it was being discombobulated and people were being moved out. i had the great fortune to work with the honorable doris ward, eileen hernandez, frankie gillette, who is in the room, and so many others.

i am the president of san francisco professional business women. some of them are also in the room. one of the proudest things that i did in san francisco, and that was, to be a part of the coalition whose efforts resulted in the ordinance that prohibits smoking in public places in san francisco. that was in 1995. worked in bayview-hunters point for many, many years. employment, training for young people. teaching young women the dangers of tobacco, first and secondhand as it relates to the developing fetus, to children under the age of 2, so that was mothers who

were pregnant. that was women of childbearing age, and that was women who had children under the age of 2 years old. i've had the opportunity to live and be in san francisco, anything that i did, i hoped that it would help somebody. it's a pleasure for them to say, you gave me my first job. i bought my first house. it's in vacaville, but i bought a house. or, ms. tatum, i stopped smoking. those things are important to me. and i'm honored today to have four generations in the room.

myself, grandchildren, and a great granddaughter. [applause] so i want to thank you, supervisor cohen, thank you so much for this honor. >> president cohen: thank you. and thank you, ms. tatum. [cheers and applause] i'm going to make two more commendations and then i will come down and take pictures and present you with your certificate of honor. the next person i want to recognize is, two folks leaving us, sonali bowes and dylan mang. both of those two fine people will leave city service.

dylan has been an angle. he's been with the sfmta for four years. and he has left us as the local government affairs manager. he was liaison between us and the city. dylan has been fielding constituent issues. emailing us follow-ups and checking in via text message for any issues he's been invaluable to each and every one of us on the board. and, dylan, we are sad to see you go. you have big shoes to fill for the next permanent person to take on that position. he is going to comcast. he will be advocating and

connecting communities. we're very happy to have a familiar face managing the relationships with comcast. dylan, i want to give you an opportunity to say a few remarks. thank you. >> thank you. president cohen, members of the board, madam clerk, colleagues and friends, thank you for this great honor and for the opportunity to speak. i'm so touched by your words and they mean so much to me. thinking back starting on broadband adoption, and heading up, there is nothing like the city's dynamic legislature. the city and this time and no one like you all. and for that, i'm grateful.

helping to understand the need for investment in transportation through the geo bond passage. it feels full circle. and for me, to return to where we were 18 years ago, and from working with city, family, it's essential to the transportation system. emerging technologies, privacy and different modes of transportation, i've had the privilege to witness the commitment and dedication of you, your staff, people around me and participate, i hope, in some small way to the great work of the sfmta and the city and anything that may have accomplished has been through my colleagues, folks in this chamber, in this building, including the mayor's office from the late mayor lee, rest in peace, mayor farrell and mayor

breed. looking at the staff box, i remember working with nicole eat anne, andres, power and others, also with the chair peskin and sfmta board and stake holders 1 in this transformative and disruptive time. and i believe i've had one of the best seats in the house. i want to thank kate breen in helping with this. and i would like to acknowledge my colleagues in the agency affairs division, janet martinson, and j.d. wisilko, and how they quietly and effectively further protect the agencies and

transportation interest. it is true leadership and made it possible to do anything we may have accomplished. i want to thank my wife, trish, and my in-laws, and 7-year-old daughter. if i can borrow from my favorite supervisor, but from president cohen, look into the camera like she does. i want to thank my daughter nadia, for the voice messages, and notes in my bag, when i had to work late and knowing when i'm not with you, i'm probably here. and we'll watch this on sfgov tv later. i'm grateful to be recognize with sonali bowes. who has been a leader and mentor and friend to me. thank you for the tremendous honor and opportunity to speak.

>> president cohen: thank you and thank you for your service. [applause] the next person or personality that i will bring up, is a prickly one. you all know ms. sonali bowes. she's been with m.t.a. for over 10 years. director of finance and information technology during this time, she's built broadband coalition to improve the transit system. she has overseen investment like the t line and important policy discussions around investing and getting to investing and creating vision zero. want to recognize her rolling out the bike lanes and this is a leader that is a true speaker. it can be a breath of fresh air

and can make a difficult meeting more difficult with her truth. i will miss service san francisco with you. before we give you an opportunity to speak, i want to recognize supervisor peskin. he has a few remarks as well. >> supervisor peskin: thank you. a few words for this woman if you do not know her. the statute of limitations has not run on that, so i will not tell that story. [laughter] the 10 of you think that you made me chair of the t.a. the truth is, it was her idea. and while muni has hiccups, when i was first supervisor, the financial house works perfectly and that's a decade plus of

work. if you have not gotten a text in the middle of the meeting when she's balancing the books and appropriating millions of dollars. then she will text you and say, what the heck are you doing? and she holds us accountable. i don't know if i would use prickly, but i would say she has stood up to politicians and other folks high up in the government. sometimes at her own peril. i think there was a mayor or two that wanted to show her the door, but they could not get rid of her. sonali -- [speaking foreign language] [applause] >> supervisor kim: i also wanted to thank and acknowledge and commend sonali for your 20 years of service to the city. i'm very familiar with the text
