[gave [gavel]. >> supervisor safai: mr. clerk, please call item number six. >> clerk: item number six is a ordinance amending the administrative code to extend the termination date of managed care contracts approved section section 21 a.3 from december 31, 2020 to december 31, 2025. >> supervisor safai: if yotha you. if there's no public comment, i'd like to welcome stella chou, managed care from the department of public health. >> thank you. d.p. h. today, we are asking you to accept the termination code to extend the termination
9:07 pm
date of the managed care contracts from december 31, 2020, to december 31, 2025. this initially was approved by the board in 2014, when the board delegated authority to the director of health to enter into managed care contracts that the city anticipate over $1 million of reimbursements for those services provided at d.p.h.'s facilities. this ordinance requires d.p.h. to report to the mayor's and board of supervisors annually, and through the office, d.p.h. has been submitting these reports annually, in january -february timeline. in 2016, based on the findings of d.p.h. and the controller's office, this managed care ordinance was amended to extend the termination date to december 2020.
9:08 pm
so again, d.p.h. is here to ask your permission to extend the terminati termination date to december 31, 2025. this will allow d.p.h. the flexibility to enter into managed care contracted and amend any existing ones. and we've been negotiating with canopy health for the last 1.5 years roughly for a commercial contract, so this code needs to be extended to cover the initial three years period. with this action, we'll bring progress to -- we'll enable progress and allow more coverage for privately insured patients using services at d.p.h.'s facilities. so with that, dr. alice chin,
9:09 pm
who is the deputy director of san francisco health net work and i are happy to answer any questions you may have. thank you. >> supervisor safai: any members of the board wish to ask any questions? thank you, miss chou. thank you for living in my district. >> thank you for visiting my home. >> supervisor safai: okay. i think this is pretty straightforward. we appreciate you coming out on a rainy day like this. we're going to move this to extend for time to give us the opportunity. i'll make a motion to forward to the full board with a positive recommendation, the ordinance amending the administrative code to extend the termination date of managed care contracts approved under section 21-a.3 -- oh, my members of the public wishing to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is

[gavel]. >> supervisor safai: mr. clerk, call the next item. >> clerk: item seven is an ordinance amending the administrative code to extend the sunset date of the graffiti advisory board for three years to march 1, 2022, and to
9:11 pm
require the videoory board to submit annual rather than buy annual reports to the mayor and board of supervisors. >> larry stringer, deputy director of operations for public works, and i also chair the graffiti advisory board. just a little about the board and what it does. it was established in 2003, and it was formed to advise the mayor's office and the board of supervisors about graffiti in san francisco and the downtown area. the advisory board advises the mayor about graffiti enforcement, prevention and cleanup strategies. there are three subcommittees of that board, which is education, enforcement, and abatement, and recommendations in all three of those areas come forward. we meet once a month, every second thursday, and i'm just going to share with you some of the things that have come out of the board over the last ten years. so we now have the blight
9:12 pm
ordinance that's used for graffiti enforcement. which we've seen a reduction for property owners abate about 95% of the time their graffiti, which was not the case prior to that. it was more like 45 or 50%. that recommendation came from the advisory board. we formed two programs where art lives, which is educational program for students in the schools, and teaches them about graffiti, permission, and art versus vandalism, and that's been going on for approximately ten years. street smarts program, we partner with the arts commission to do murals in various community areas where we give a stipend, and they get the artists. we found that to be a deterrent for graffiti for the community. we've had four different huddles. one of the biggest was we had
9:13 pm
an international huddle in 2013. the attendance was about 125. we talk about graffiti strategies, abatement, the problem itself, and how it is across the country. and then, we also reach out to the communities and give them strategies for prevention as well as abatement. we also, under, at that time board president london breed got legislation started and passed for civil penalties for graffiti tagging artists, which we did have one successful, which was for almost 250,000 will hav -- $250,000. >> supervisor safai: just to interrupt you for a second, mr. stringer, was that person a teenager, an adult? >> no, adult. >> supervisor safai: i knew they were. i just wanted you to say that for the record. >> the majority of the taggers,
9:14 pm
we find they're adults, not teenagers. we track the stats, and the tags has gone down over the last five to ten years. we also drafted a letter that is now read at every graffiti case. the d.a. reads the letter about the harm of graffiti and the cost to the city and to the neighborhood, every case that goes forward. and as a result, we have -- some of the board members, we have a d.a., and we have the police that attend. they recently changed their strategy on dealing with graffiti. i don't know -- there was an article in the paper, if you haven't seen too long ago, instead of taking it case by case, they bundled a bunch of different cases together and then brought it before the grand jury, and you can see since they started that, which there's been a reduction, drastic drop. all of these things are what the advisory board has recommended or had a hand in
9:15 pm
over the last ten-plus years, so we're just asking that this committee be extended because we've run out time wise. >> supervisor safai: this is pretty straightforward, but i just wanted to ask a couple of questions for the record. that was one of them. the majority of people that are tagging, they're adults, not teenagers. you highlighted this one case, 95% of the homeowner are responding to the blight ordinance. any areas for improvements that we could be thinking about here at the board of supervisors. >> as it relates to graffiti? thinking about it seriously, i think we're doing good. the one area that i would say, but it's not really your level, but you could champion it, i
9:16 pm
believe the vandalism in the penal code, it's not enforced here in the local level. i think reality is there should be a minimum that when you get caught tagging that there's always a minimum, and it's not just including community service. i think that would be a deterrent. that's one of the problems that we have. there's not -- there's not really a deterrent. the civil legislation has really helped a lot. the changes recently that the d.a. made with the p.d. that would help, but that's -- one of the things that we try to tackle as a board is can we get the laws changed at the state level to put a little more emphasis on graffiti. because it does lead to other bad behavior, it's been shown. they start out as taggers, but they end up in a bunch of other things that creates problems for the community.
9:17 pm
>> supervisor safai: okay. thank you, mr. stringer. any other members of the board -- okay. thank you. >> okay. >> supervisor safai: any other members of the public that wish to comment on this item? please state your name for the record if you so desire, and you will have up to two minutes to speak. >> my name's greg dillon. i've been the at-large representative on the graffiti advisory board for the last three years. my role has been more of abateme abatement. so in your areas of improvement, the things i would note is the app has changed things incredibly. before, there was 20,000 reports coming in a year, and now there's 70. now, we can track and say you know what? d.p.w. is doing a great job.
9:18 pm
there's sort of a need to have somebody say, you know what? d.p.w. is doing good, but this other department isn't, and by having the report get up to your level, that's more of an ability to have that happen. so from the -- from the chance to do abatement better, to improve the city's response -- and i think that also gives the citizens a chance to be involved, because while there's a lot of attention on the graffiti taggers, if you talk with people out there, there's a lot of people that think you know, the city's not doing a good job. it's taking too long, and that's on city property, and they're telling me to clean it on my property, so i -- i encourage sort of the abatement side to continue to be stressed. >> supervisor safai: thank you. any other members of the public wish to comment on this item, please come forward. seeing none, public comment is closed.
9:19 pm
[gavel]. >> supervisor safai: i'll go ahead and make a motion. [inaudible] >> supervisor safai: -- of the graffiti advisory board for three years to march 1, 2022, and to require the advisory board to submit annual rather than biannual reports to the mayor and to the board of supervisors. can we do that without objection? without objection, that item is ordered. [gavel]. >> supervisor safai: thank you. mr. clerk, please call item number eight. >> clerk: item number eight is a hearing to consider appointing two members. term ending april 20, 21 and one member, term ending march 22, 2020, to the graffiti advisory board. >> mike petricca, please come
9:20 pm
forward. you have two minutes to speak. >> mike petricca, i'm the vice president of campus safety and art services at the art university. been there 14 years in that capacity. i took over for rebecca rutman delgado. blessed -- i've been on the board for a few months now, and we did accomplish one thing for the board, from an academy perspective, we did a radio and t.v. ad for them, which they're going to be putting on local radios and t.v.s. our students did that pro bono for the graffiti advisory board. we're also doing graffiti cleanup for their athletic department, so we're very supportive of the graffiti advisory board, and i wish i could stay on that board for
9:21 pm
the next couple three years. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you, mr. petricca. any questions for mr. petricca? okay. we'll call you back up if we have any. let's call up our next applicant, margaux casillas. >> hello. i'm margaux casillas with clear channel outdoor. i'm the transit representative for the shelters. i started this position in may 2018. i am taking over for amy landgraf who was also on the graffiti advisory board? we also assisted in the previous graffiti advisory board huddle from last year. we donated advertising, where we took their p.s.a. and advertised it on 50 of our digital panels around the city. that's our premium network, and then, i've also attended
9:22 pm
meetings since june of last year? graffiti is important to clear channel because it does cost us. we spent over $300,000 in maintenance just cleaning, power washing, replacing glass, as ac acid etching. one thing i would like to stay on this board, a complaint to 311 response time. we are working with our office staff to expedite that. and the other thing is working with officer ferreira for a better system for documenting the graffiti because currently, we take pictures of our graffiti that's on our shelters or news racks, but we don't do with them. i'd like to work with staff to facilitate a different system to provide him more evidence. great. thank you. >> supervisor safai: okay.
9:23 pm
great. if we have any other questions, we'll call you back up. the last person we're going to call up to be reappointed to seat 18, is gregory dillon. >> my name's gregory dillon, and it's about three years now i've been on, and i was attending the meetings before that. i think the things that are unique that i bring to the board is the ability to look at the data. the city has an open data portal, and i'm using a data science quantitative techniques on there to be able to look at things like the report was submitted on such and such days, how many days is it open, when it's in the field to when it's closed or is it never closed? comparing different areas of the city, one to another, so maps where there would just be so many pinpoints on them, we instead use a heat map system. i live over in the mission area, and the graffiti -- amount of degree tee is very different through -- throughout
9:24 pm
the city. last year, the -- graffiti is very different throughout the city. last year, some of the lower districts had only 2 and 3,000, so it's multiple times more graffiti in certain areas. and the other thing is with that data, i've also been pushing that they update the 311 app because it's including more clicks that are necessary. for the people out there, yes, if you're a graffiti, not like to spend the time, but it could be made much quicker for people to do it without spending so much of their time to get the report made. >> supervisor safai: great. that's a good thing to work on. call you back up, mr. dillon, if we have any other questions. the other applicant for seat
9:25 pm
18, jessica cabrera, withdrew her name, so without further comment, we'll go to public comment. is there any member of the public wishing to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. [gavel]. >> supervisor safai: i'll go ahead and make a motion, forward to the full board with a positive recommendation the appointment of mike petricca to seat 16, margaux casillas, to seat 17 for terms ending april 1, 2021, and gregory dillon, seat 18, to a term ending april 10, 2021. [gavel]. >> supervisor safai: mr. clerk, call the next item.
9:26 pm
[agenda item read]. >> supervisor safai: great. unless there's any questions from the speakers, we can call up -- would you like to go first? yeah, sure, supervisor ronen's office. >> yes. good afternoon, chair safai, supervisors haney and stefani. supervisor ronen sends her apologies. she was unable to be here today and also for the item number one, and i'll find out -- >> supervisor safai: well, she's not allowed to be here, any way, so it all worked out. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: we did, and it's all good. >> but thank you for allowing me to speak on her behalf. supervisor ronen enthusiastically authorizes sara souza to fill the seat nine on the eastern neighborhood citizens advisory committee. she brings a very impressive set of skills in community development, economic justice, all of which very well articulated in her application.
9:27 pm
she's truly dedicated to community input and advocacy and has deep ties to the mission through her work and community service. sara will be a thought partner and planning to community on implementation of the eastern neighborhood plan in particular as it applies to the mission with an emphasis on equitiable development and strategies and supervisor ronen is very delighted to be able to put forward this nomination. thank you. >> supervisor safai: great. thank you. miss souza, would you like to come and speak on your behalf? >> good afternoon. thank you for your time? so i'm here because, you know, i'm highly interested in the appointment? i have years of experience working in housing policy and community investment? as a matter of fact, in 2015, i was a policy intern at mission economic development agency,
9:28 pm
and i worked directly with community members and tenants and, you know, artists on multiple projects, including the mission action plan 2020 and small site acquisition program to protect long-time san francisco tenants? i'm a community organizer at california reinvestment coalition, and you know, my main goal and contributions to this advisory issue advocate for -- for affordable housing and equitiable development? and also to build a consensus around housing? and you know, i also want to share that i'm the president of the latino democratic club. and, you know, i -- i'm very involved in the community and very passionate about housing. it was one of my main focus in graduate folschool?
9:29 pm
i went to u.s.f., and as a latina community organizer, i represent the community interests and ethnicity and diversity, so i hope you consider me. thank you. >> supervisor safai: any questions for miss souza? comments? supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: well, i -- i've known miss souza for some time, and i'm very excited that you are stepping up to this role. great choice, supervisor ronen and her office, and just want to also -- to welcome your family and i'm sure you're very proud of your daughter, and she's just an extraordinary community leader and as someone who represents a district that is impacted by the work that you're going to be doing, i'm really grateful that you're going to be there with your experience and your close connections to the community, and i look forward to working
9:30 pm
with you, so congratulations, and thank you for stepping up and serving. >> supervisor safai: any other comments? just echo that. i think it's really important to take the opportunity when given to serve your community. there's a lot of challenges facing the eastern neighborhoods, not just the mission but eastern neighborhoods in general. i can remember back -- i guess it was over ten years ago now, back in 2003 or '04, discussions were happening on the rezoning of the eastern neighborhoods, and particularly on mission street, and there were conversations about height and density, and i don't even think at that time in 2004, people could have anticipated the level of displacement and the conversation about affordable housing and which way it would go and what levels of conclusionary were appropriate. we hadn't even contemplated the small sites program. ellis act wasn't even -- it was
9:31 pm
somewhat on the table, but it was more a conversation about moving to tenancies in common, which is real not part of the debate anymore because of our condo conversion cap. there's a lot of things about being involved in the eastern neighborhood advisory committee that can really influence and direct policy at the board of supervisors, so i'm glad you're active, i'm glad you're involved, and i know your family is, as supervisor haney says, very proud of you. so lcongratulations. so we can make a motion. looks like you'll be serving out an unexpired term. we'll make a motion to forward to the full board with a positive recommendation to appoint sara souza to serve on the eastern neighborhoods citizens advisory committee, to a term ending october 19, 2019.
9:32 pm
it looks like you'll be back out in the fall. congratulations. mr. clerk, do we have any other items on the agenda today? >> that completes the agenda today. >> supervisor safai: okay. great. we are adjourned. [gavel]

9:37 pm
>> in november of 2016, california voters passed proposition 64. the adult use of marijuana act. san franciscans overwhelmingly approved it by nearly 75%. and the law went into effect in january of 2018. [♪] >> under california's new law, adults age 21 and over can legally possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis and grow up to six plants at home. adults in california can legally give up to 1 ounce to other adults. >> in the state of california, we passed a law that said adult
9:38 pm
consumption is legal. if you are an adult and in possession of certain amounts, you will no longer be tried. you will not be arrested or prosecuted for that. that is changing the landscape dramatically. [♪] >> to legalization of cannabis could bring tremendous economic and social benefits to cities like san francisco. >> this industry is projected to reach $22 billion by the year 2020. and that is just a few years away. >> it can be a huge legal industry in california. i think very shortly, the actual growing of marijuana may become the biggest cash crop in the state and so you want that to be a legal tax paying cash crop, all the way down the line to a sales tax on the retail level. >> the california medical industry is a 3 billion-dollar
9:39 pm
industry last year. anticipating that multiplier as 20, 30, 50 times in the consumer marketplace once adult use is really in place, you could go ahead and apply that multiplier to revenue. it will be huge. >> when that underground economy becomes part of the regular tax paying employment economy of the bay area, it not only has a direct impact, that money has a ripple impact through the economy as well. >> it is not just about retail. it is not just about the sensor. is about manufacturing pick a lot of innovative manufacturing is happening here in san francisco in addition to other parts of the state as well as the cultivation. we should be encouraging that. >> there is a vast array of jobs that are going to be available in the newly regulated cannabis industry. you can start at the top tier which a scientist working in testing labs.
9:40 pm
scientists working at extraction companies. and you work towards agricultural jobs. you have ones that will require less education and you look towards cannabis retail and see traditional retail jobs and you see general management jobs. those things that are similar to working at a bar restaurant or working at a retail store. >> we are offering, essentially, high paid manufacturing jobs. typical starting wage of 18-$20 an hour, almost no barrier to entry, you do not need an education. >> that means that people who do not have college educations, working-class people, will have an opportunity to have a job at cultivating cannabis plants. there's a whole wide array of job opportunities from the seedling to the sale of the cannabis. [♪] >> last year, they said 26 million people came to san francisco. >> the tourism industry continues to be very robust here and the city and county of san
9:41 pm
francisco is about a billion-dollar industry. >> if we use a conservative cannabis user adoption rate to 15% that means 4 million tourists want that means 4 million tourists want to purchase cannabis. and we need to be ready for th them. >> in 2015, as adult use legalization efforts gained momentum in california, the supervisors created the san francisco cannabis state legalization task force. this task force offered to research and advice to the supervisors, the mayor and other city departments. >> we knew that adult use legalization was coming to the ballot and stat that would bring with it a number of decisions that the city would have to make about zoning and regulation and so forth. and i decided at that time, at a know it was a great, that rather than have a fire drill after the ballot measure passes, as suspected it would, we should plan an event.
9:42 pm
so i authored a task force to spend a year studying it and we made it a broad-based task force. >> we prepared ourselves by developing a health impact assessment and partnered that with key stakeholder discussions with washington, oregon, colorado, to really learn lessons from their experience rolling out both adult and medicinal cannabis. >> within days of the passing of the proposition, ed lee called on agencies to act decisively. >> he issued an executive order asking the department of public health, along with planning and other city departments to think through an internal working group around what we needed to do to consider writing this law. >> we collectively, i would say that was representatives from g.s.a., as well as the mayor's office, met with a lot of departments to talk through what prop 64 and the implementation
9:43 pm
of prop 64 it meant to them. >> the mayor proposed an office of cannabis, a one-stop shop for permits allowing operators to grow and sell cannabis. >> he wanted a smart structure. he wanted a regulatory structure that ensured that kids didn't have access and community's were safe and that consumers were safe. and he wanted to ensure, more importantly, it was a regulatory structure that encouraged diversity and inclusivity. >> this is an office that will be solely charged with a duty of wanting not only the policies that we create, implementing and enforcing them, but also executing the licenses that are needed. we're talking about 20 different licenses that will put us into compliance with what is happening on the state level. >> this is a highly, highly regulated industry now, at this point. we have anywhere from 7-10 departments that will be working
9:44 pm
with these industry participants as they go through the permitting process. that is a lot of work at a loss of coordination. we are creating a permitting process that is smart and is digital. it is much easier for the user and for community input, and is less mired in bureaucracy. >> for the first time ever in san francisco history, standalone licenses are available for all aspects of the nonretail side of the cannabis industry. now, a cultivator can go in to the department of building inspection and to the department of health and say, with this first registered and temporary license, and then what will eventually be a permanent license, this is the project, this is what i am going to do. >> very rarely in city government do we interact with industries that are asking to be regulated. these guys want to be regulated. they want to be compliant. they want to work with the city.
9:45 pm
that is rare. >> san francisco has created a temporary licensing process so that the pre-existing operators here in san francisco can apply for a temporary state licensed. >> we have taken teams of up to 12 inspectors to inspect the facility twice a day. we have been doing that with the department of building inspection and the department of public health. and the fire department. >> it is really important for the industry to know that we are treating them like industry. like manufacturing. like coworkers pick so that is the way we are approaching this from a health and safety and a consumer protection network. this is just the way practice happens with restaurants or manufacturing facilities. >> because there are so many pieces of industry that people haven't even thought about. there are different permits for each piece. you have to set up a permitting system for growing, for
9:46 pm
manufacturing, for testing. for delivery. for retail. you have to make sure that there is an appropriate health code. certainly the regulation of alcohol in terms of restaurants and retail it's probably a model for how this industry will be regulated as well, both on sale and consumption. >> it is completely uncharted territory. there is a blessing and a curse with that. it is exciting because we are on a new frontier, but it is very nerve-racking because there's a lot at stake. and quite frankly, being san francisco, being the state of california, people are looking to us. >> we hope that cannabis does become more of an accepted part of society in the same way that alcohol is, the same way coffee is. >> it is a very innovative fear, particularly around manufacturing. san francisco could be an epicenter. >> san francisco can be a leader
9:47 pm
here. a global leader in the cannabis movement and set a bar just to other communities and cities and states and this nation how it is done. [♪] welcome to the epic center
9:48 pm
9:49 pm
did you know that many buildings
9:50 pm
in san francisco are not bolted to the foundation on today's episode we'll learn how the option to bolt our foundation in an earthquake. >> hi, everybody welcome to another episode of stay safe i'm the director of earthquake safety in the city and county of san francisco i'm joined by a friend matt. >> thank you thanks for being with us we're in a garage but at the el cap center south of market in san francisco what we've done a simulated the garage to show you what it is like to make the improvements and reduce the reflexes of earthquake we're looking at foundation bolts what do they
9:51 pm
do. >> the foundation bolts are one of the strengthening system they hold the lowest piece of wood onto the foundation that prevents the allows from sliding during an earthquake that is a bolt over the original construction and these are typically put in along the foundation to secure the house to the foundation one of the things we'll show you many types of bolts let's go outside and show the vufrdz we're outside the epic center in downtown san francisco we'll show 3 different types of bolts we have a e poxy anchor. >> it is a type of anchor that is adhesive and this is a rod we'll embed both the awe hey
9:52 pm
