exploded resulting in a three-alarm fire at gary and parker in district 2. the incident spanned three hours from the time the gas line broke and the area was declared a safe site to begin recovery efforts. videos of the incident are harrowing at the height of the flames reaching three stories putting a lot of people in fear and danger. four structures were impacted. many residents were displaced and we're working to help them now. the beloved hong kong lounge on the corner of park and gary was very damaged. the people were heroic in getting all the patrons out. not a single person was injured. nobody died. people were saying this is such a miracle. i talked to the chief and it's a miracle nobody was hurt. i'd like to extend my
8:01 pm
condolences to the victims of the fire. while no one was hurt, many residents have experienced devastating losses because of the incident. we're in close contact with them and my priority is to ensure those affected receive resources to help them get back on their feet. i also want to commend our first responders and other city employees who prevented a strategy. the department of emergency management, sfpd, puc, dbi, human services agency and the office of workforce development have played pivotal roles in responding to the emergency and i want to thank them for their work and how everybody responded at the scene. many are still at hard work investigating and learning lessons from the event. i plan to hold a special
8:02 pm
commendation to those and those at the hong kong lounge and those who stepped up and helped everyone in addition to the red cross. while city agencies conducted a thorough response there are still items i find alarming. the incident highlights how lucky we are it occur with the conditions of february 6. if it were a warmer, dryer day it would have been worse. if there were stronger winds it could have been worse. so many possibilities could have put it gravely out of hand putting everyone at risk including the firefighters who comb combatted the fire for two and a half hours. it's critical we investigate what happened through when the gas was finally shut off and contained. we're calling for a hearing to
8:03 pm
conduct a full review of the incident including actions and events leading up to the execution of the construction on site, the cause of the gas line break, notification and coordination and examination of each entities in response to the incident. we request pg and e, verizon and the puc, dbi and public works to report to the hearing. we want to understand every piece of the process for safety standards and regulations in place from how public jobs are advertised, contracted and awarded. we want to ensure contractors conducting work in our streets maintain standards and if we need further rules to ensure safety, we need to put those rules in place. furthermore, we want to understand pg&es process and role as well. what is their interaction if any
8:04 pm
with the contractors and subcontractors and what precautions. put in place and were the gas lines marked an what was the response to the fire and tickets. and we need to take learning experiences. so many team were worried about earth quick country and what were to happen if we had more than one gas line break and more than our share of firefighters trying to fight two or three or four gas line breaks. it's terrifying and we need to understand what precautions are in place so it never happens again. i'd like to turn it over to supervisor fewer for more
8:05 pm
comments. >> thank you to the fire department. we're reminded how miraculous it is there were no injuries given the building now red and yellow tagged. my heart goes out to the businesses that have been displaced including hong kong lounge number two. they have provided critical services to young people with nearly three inches of water in the basement and looking for new office space to continue their work. a deep thank you to the red
8:06 pm
cross and dem, dbi and for working continuously to provide support and assistance to our neighborhood and for the rapid response to the employee workforce for resource. and joining supervisor stefani for a top to bottom review including up to the permitting of the construction activity and it's critical we have a discussion and figure how to present any similar devastating incident from happening again in the city. thank you.
8:07 pm
>> clerk: supervisor walton. >> first colleague a hearing to inquire why the san francisco sheriff's department conducts its own investigations against claims on officers in the jailed and in general which lacks an oversight body in light of recent reports of guards mistreating inmates and i'm including the district attorney to report on data of reported claims and how these claims were addressed. as we now on friday, february 1, the san francisco district attorney dismissed the case of those who were encouraging glat
8:08 pm
glad iater fights in the jail and the san francisco office became aware of the events in 2015 when a few inmate stepped forwa forward with their stories of inmatd mate -- inmates were pitted against each other for bets. and we need to investigate claims and wole call for a hearing to discuss what has happened in several of these cases and these incident. also we're calling a hearing to inquire the status of illegal dumping in district 10 and the department of public works efforts in curbing illegal dumping. in january 2019 alone district
8:09 pm
10 received 3,098 requests for street and sidewalk cleaning make 41% of our 3-1-1 called and in march of 2011 we looked into a committee with the board of supervisors. dpw identified the scope of the problems and resources devoted to the effort and strategies in other localities and plans to reduce the activity. eight years later we still have a major problem in the district and other areas of the city. we'll call for a hearing to discuss some the plans in the future to address illegal dumping as well. the rest i yield. >> clerk: president yee. >> commissioner: i wanted to add
8:10 pm
to supervisor safai's comment in the language barrier in emergency response. it's an issue that recurs every so often and i'm glad we're having a hearing on this because we have to get to the bottom of this. the committee would feel comfortable enough to report things when they find out no one comes for four hours is unacceptable. when i was at the bakery, the customers told me a month or so before that, one of the workers got robbed but it was never reported and i asked why, they said they didn't know who to
8:11 pm
talk to. we have to do a better job in the city and it's not working for everybody. hopefully the rest of my colleagues will join me in finding different ways to improve the system. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, mr. president. supervisor brown. >> thank you, president yee and adam clerk. with supervisor walton, peskin, safai and ronin, i'm introducing legislation requiring brick and mortar business to accept cash. a no-cash sign is a not-welcome sign for many who don't have access to banking services. the unbanked are all around us.
8:12 pm
they're young people who don't qualify for credit cards, seniors and low-income folks on fixed incomes or prefer to use cash. they are the poor immigrants african americans, latinex, asian pacific islanders and folks with concerns about privacy. the future may be cashless, but denying the ability to use cash as a payment today means excluding too many people. basic industries providing s and services have an obligation to be inclusive and accessible to everyone. as a society, we're the
8:14 pm
[technical difficulties] >> we must continue building towards our own renewable power facilities and we need to advance the work and include local build as a part of the preliminary report that the department is preparing at the request of mayor breed. many colleagues on this board are strongly committed to the development of a green new deal and i believe local build on our own renewable energy resources are critical as part of that plan. the rest i submit. >> clerk: supervisor haney. >> thank you, madame clerk. i have a few issues i'll introduce today. one is good news. the announcement of a settlement
8:15 pm
since 2013 the tenants at 1049 market street have been under the threat of eviction after an attempt to convert them to commercial office space. their eviction was widely publicized and would have been the largest evict in the history of san francisco. since then the property owners have been engaged in lawsuits with the city. while many original tenants have left and many have state and fought and there's a settlement to allow the tenants to stay. i want to thank the tenants for leading their efforts and the association and housing rights committee and the property owners for coming to the table and the mayor's office and the san francisco superior court for guiding the parties through months of settlement negotiation and the city attorney's office.
8:16 pm
it will allow the tenants to remain in the building. also introducing two resolutions today. one resolution in support of state senate bill 233 introduced by senator scott winger. this will provide protection for sex workers reporting crimes and changes to protocol preventing law enforcement from using condoms as a probable cause for arrest. this is a policy we've had in san francisco for some time thanks to the work of organizations like st. james infirmary and the department of the stats of women and human rights commission. we hope it will be a policy that will expand statewide and provide important protections to a group of individuals at a high risk to be victims of violate crime. the second resolution is for a 20-year-old music festival called the how weird street fair
8:17 pm
which will be the 20th year at the intersection of second and howard. the resolution allows for the festival to do sidewalk closures to have a small admission free for security measures and celebrates the contributions of the festival to our community. lastly, i'm introduce hearing to address open-air drug dealing in the tender in to and soma market and it's no secret to the thousands of the residents that blocks from here heroin, meth, fentanyl, cocaine and cox -- oxycontin are dealt and kids witness dozens of drug deals every day. every day people recovering from
8:18 pm
addiction are invited to relapse. it's no secret it's a situation that would not be it witolerate anywhere else. the only secret is what the city's plan is to address the crisis. a group of mothers told me how they feared for their children, how people deal drugs at all hours of the day and night around the open spaces that exist in the tenderloin for children and said their kids can't step outside without being offered drugs and how they won't always be there to intervene. they asked me what the city is doing to protect their children and want to be part of the solution. they're not alone. the people most fed up and impact and most afraid are the people who live in the communities. last week i went to a memorial for a young man who died from an
8:19 pm
overdose. he was 27 years old and recently obtained housing on ellis. with san francisco's housing stock increasingly in the tenderloin and soma these are homes to low-income families and many exiting incarceration and to have them live in an environment where drugs are in the open is counterproductive. this is not just a public safety crisis but public health crisis. most people are aware much of the desperation on the veets -- vets vets -- vets -- streets is linked to drug abuse. and there's sentences for drug dealing without investment in
8:20 pm
rehabilitation is a failure. this has devastated families and cost millions of dollars. the war on drugs and catch and release methods have not solved the problem. we also know doing nothing is not an option. there is a false assumption we have to lock up the street-level dealers or do something. that thinking has left us paralyzed. we must find actionable solutions that address the issues based on evidence and proven best practices. what is clear is we cannot stand by and accept the status quo. it's a complicated problem and widespread change can take time but strategies can work we've seen societies form in the 300 block of ellis and eddie. they involve businesses an residents coming together to bring a community-driven
8:21 pm
approach to the safety concerns. we've also seen efforts to replace street-level dealing and enhance visibility and lighting and family-friendly activities and businesses. we have seen programs like safe passage make a visible difference. initiates like law enforcement division are yielding results in getting individuals out of the drug trade and we have seen more effective policing strategies. these are all great programs and initiatives but we have to do more. we have to involve interdepartmental collaboration and have well paying jobs so drug dealing not the most accessible form of survival and
8:22 pm
the city must ensure health and safety neighborhoods for all residents including those in the tenderloin and soma and mid market. i'm calling for a hearing on open-air drug dealing and inviting the department of public health and workforce development and public defender and district attorney and pre -- probation and the department do work on this issue. i hope it will lead to ideas and collaboration and sustained commitment to permanently alter the status quo. the rest i commit. >> clerk: supervisor mandelman. >> submit. >> clerk: mr. president, seeing no other names on the roster that concludes the introduction of new business. >> commissioner: let's go to the next item. >> clerk: we welcome public comment on the mayoral appearance on the january 8,

she has a caretaker she calls linda. care homes is supposed to be where older people many times with a mental disability are supposed to be cared for. instead linda chases people with a butcher knife. i've reported it and we have grounds for a brandishing case. we have a witness. i'm at 415, 555-5796 is anyone is interested in looking into the case. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you for your comment. next, speaker please. >> interview: i have roses for

valentine's day. can i give it myself. thank you, god bless you. >> commissioner: go ahead. >> clerk: mr. decosta, you can begin. >> i'm watching. board of supervisors, it's very interesting, you know. coming to city hall and listening to the deliberations from one to the other. first from the san francisco
8:27 pm
authority and then the commission and then the board. you line up to go to a shelter and people get a chair to sit down all night long. this is where the united nations was formed, san francisco. i'll ask supervisors, if you go to a shelter and heard the mayor talk on both sides of her mouth about providing a thousand whatever but if you go to a shelter today and they provide you a chair to sit on the chair
8:28 pm
all night long, is that right? do you show any humanity? is someone going to look at me? this say -- is a fact. you wait in the rain like one supervisor said, and you get a chair to sit down all not long. that's why they come to city hall to get shelter. we spend an inordinate time in our rest rooms and all over the city. anyone can talk the talk but when we give shelter to a human being specially for the night, let us give that human being a bed. if not -- [chime]
8:29 pm
>> clerk: thank you, m mr. decosta. >> commissioner: next speaker, please. >> i'm lavette arnold and born and raised here 58 years. i'm having issues. i'm disabled but also i have health problems. i came here years early talking to a lot of you guys. a lot of your faces are new here. i have constantly said something. i'm born and raised here. this is my home. i was born in a hadn't hospital here and my son died at 21 here and for people to say get out because i didn't want to do sexual favors and my rent went from $788 and i was only getting
8:30 pm
$888 this sis unreal. they say america's for everybody but this is my home. this is where i came out of my mother's womb and it's sad nobody's doing anything and section 8 is terrible but i'm talking about my issues. i'm a mother, great grandmother and i don't have to have sex with somebody in the housing authority to stay there. i've been there 18 years. three years i went from to hud and everybody to make a compliant. nobody has done nothing. enough is enough. i would like to live in my home though my home now is a three-bedroom, i used to have a three-bedroom certificate but i only have a two-bedroom now but is it fair? is it over? please. i'm born here. i want to live here for the rest of my life.
8:31 pm
8:32 pm
>> christopher reeves was asked what he would like to do after and he said stand up and not fall down. after listening to a planning member discuss a parking regulation in a new building after the planning commissioner said i don't know if i'm more confused now or before. and i felt the same way. he could remark about it. another time, airbnb in the same room was given permission to have no rules and regulations. and they said you just gave a moratorium on rules and you can't give the mission a moratorium on gentrification. i remarked i was in favor of a
8:33 pm
pause and new direction. it would have helped the titanic and last week i remarked about global climate change and the whole world is on the titanic. global climate change is chaos and when the currents are not the currents in the ocean anymore, how do we fix this? when we look at the news in the morning and evening and see a string of traffic on the freeway spewing invisible poison while the lyft and uber cars spewing their poison on the street, we need to change. these are simple and big changes we need do. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comment.
8:34 pm
>> you can say this say coincidence and i did public comment as it went off and quoting a remark the high priestess made and the whole nation perish not. and it was actually a prophecy. he had no idea what he was saying. it was a prophecy it is spe expedient for us jesus should die for us or we'll all perish. god is going to come back. it's not going to be much longer. i think about pelosi and she locks her door. she's such a liar and the democrats are being exposed. she wouldn't even stand up when the president was talking about stopping sex trafficking. won't even stand up. there's coming a day of judgment and it's not going to be very
8:35 pm
etch -- much longer. three days ago god said vengeance is mine. now of course that wasn't three and a half days ago, was it? it was 3,500 years ago but it was three and a half days ago on the peter scale and there's the mystery in the bible called the mystery of god how judgment day will be in three and a half years. i wonder what that means. well, passover will be from the jubilee and every jew ought to be a christian it narrows down the year they would die and every gentile should abe christian too. i think god will raise the dead on passover april 20th.
8:36 pm
>> clerk: next speaker, please. >> i'm currently a resident of the tenderloin. when i first came to san francisco 35 years ago i remember hollywood billiards and the tenderloin was a vibrant neighborhood and it was skidding before that and we have spent millions and poured into the tenderloin and what they get in response is skid row. we don't need to pour more money into it. all the shelters is why i wouldn't blame other neighborhoods. same thing will happen to those neighborhoods. europe had urban squatting like in cope en copenhagen and
8:37 pm
throwing the money at the problem isn't the solution. we can open up to squatter cities or empty buildings. it will be better than we have now and people will do drugs one way or another. what we're doing now doesn't seem to be working. i would recommend instead of if we turned the money back to the taxpayers it would flow the system in a more actual way and public policy has put people on the streets and i think we should let the private sector do it because they have shelters where we are basically subsidizing drug addiction. >> clerk: are there any other members of the public to address the board during general public comment? this is your opportunity?
8:38 pm
>> nobody talks about the fact that tenderloin is probably one of the largest places for people to treat things like mersa or things not able to be treated by antibiotics. we're the second densest city in the united states and for people who don't have access to antibiotics the tenderloin is where you'd go to treat those situations. from the beginning of the marijuana movement and with hiv and what not to what made it legal today. this is not a joke. people would not have limbs if it wasn't for the tenderloin.
8:39 pm
it's not a joke and people talk about open-air drug markets being contained you're not talking about safe inhalation and injection sites which provide a place for people to treat things from ibfs to god knows what other ailments exist. even if it's just smoking herb, it's something legal and part of our society and treats things. again, this is a problem that's existed since 2002 in the city. it's not a joke.
8:40 pm
when you talk about removing these things. [chime] >> clerk: thank you, sir. >> commissioner: any other public comments? seeing none, public comment is now closed. madame clerk call for adoption of the reference calendar item 32 to 35. >> clerk: items 32 to 53 -- 35 a unanimous vote is needed for first reading and a supervisor may require a resolution to go to committee? >> commissioner: would any of my colleagues like to sever any items? seeing none, could we take same house, same call.
8:41 pm

8:42 pm
to the end of our agenda. madame clerk, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes our business for today. >> commissioner: thank you everyone, happy valentine's day and we'll see you back tuesday february 26 adds -- as there's no meeting february 19 in honor of president's day. until then, this meeting is jvrned.
8:43 pm
>> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> i am the owner of this restaurant.

8:46 pm
stand in this waiting room of this beautiful new urgent care center that will serve thousands of patients here at s.f. general. as our population continues to grow, it is more important now, more than ever to make sure our public health facilities are now up-to-date in the latest in technology and programming, but also, resilient and strong, and in the event of a major earthquake, or any other disaster that may come our way. that is why i'm grateful to the voters who passed the 2016 public health and safety bond that funded not only the expansion of the urgent care facility act which served more than 20,000 people in 2018, but also the funding for the seismically -- for seismically retrofitting this entire building that we are standing in today. one of the key things we are doing with retrofitting this entire building is bringing everyone back under one roof.
8:47 pm
by recentralizing services into this building, we can improve services and coordination by our staff. this is key to better deliver healthcare to the people of san francisco, we have to be -- we have to do more coordination and be more efficient in that process. it is a major reason why i created the position of director of mental health reform so that we have one person whose job it is to bring everyone together to help coordinate all of the efforts around mental health in the city. when we coordinate, we centralize services, we get better outcomes for the people that we are here to serve. san francisco general has long been a hub for our safety's disaster response. it has been a real leader, and i have spent days, particularly in this location in the emergency room for those who unfortunately
8:48 pm
have fell victim in some way to -- somewhere in our city. whether it is during the 1906 earthquake when the hospital serve not only as a place where people could seek treatment for injuries, but also as a place for refuge and shelter or a 1983 when the hospital led the nation by those impacted by the aids epidemic or throughout the years as san francisco general, and the staff, and the incredible people who work here have always been at the forefront of groundbreaking research and cutting edge innovation and in the medical industry. the hospital's values reflect those of san francisco, inclusion, diversity, and most important, compassion. i know many of you here today are on the front lines of providing that compassionate care for residents, and i want to thank many of the people who work here at san francisco
8:49 pm
general, every single day, thank you so much for your hard work, and for your patience, and for your compassion in serving so many residents of san francisco. it really means a lot. especially to those who are experiencing homelessness or suffering from mental health or substance use disorder, i have seen firsthand the patient's that you provide in caring for those individuals, and it means a lot. your city supports you in these efforts, and the important work you do every single day, and i am committed to working with the department of public health, our health commissioners, and all of you to tackle the public health issues that we face in our city, and to make it easier for you to do more. thank you so much to everyone that is here today for this new facility. i can't stop looking at the florist, because i don't know about you, but the walls are
8:50 pm
white, not yellow. the ceiling even, and the furniture, it is blowing me away , and i'm not always -- are not only happy for the patients that you are serving, i am excited for the people who are working in the facility every day. you deserve the kind of conditions that help you to better do your job, especially under the most challenging of circumstances. at this time, i would like to introduce mr roland pickens. >> thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much, mayor breed for your ongoing support in making this project, and many others happen here. to the school of medicine, the c.e.o., acting director waggoner, thank you for your support in making this happen.
8:51 pm
he says change is the only constant in life. this statement highlights the need for all of us to always plan for and be ready for change in every aspect of our lives. i say that because having been a long tenured person here, i have seen the changes that urgent care over the years. when i first started 18 years ago, urgent care was on the sixth floor of the hospital, then it moved to the fourth floor of the hospital, that it moved across the street to building 80, and out is going back home to this one-stop coordinated care spot. so to the staff who have been part of the change over the last 18 years, congratulations, into the patients who made that journey, they are to be commended. this urgent care center is a vital hub for our san francisco health network. if you are a patient at maxine hall in the western addition, or southeast health centre, when
8:52 pm
you can't get into your appointment, this is a place you can come for service. so to our medical director, we thank you for your years of service, and look forward to the great work that will go on in this new facility. thank you all. [applause] >> my boss just reminded me, i am going to introduce dr ron, our medical director. >> thank you, roland. hello, everyone, may agree -- mayor breed, distinguished guests, i am glad to welcome all of you to the new adult urgent care center. we are very excited that starting next week, we can continue to provide quality healthcare now in this state-of-the-art facility where our clinic staff deserve to work , and where the citizens of san francisco deserve to receive the urgent medical care they need.
8:53 pm
we are grateful to the voters of san francisco who approved the bond measure that made this possible, and in doing so, recognize the value that our public health facilities provide our community. let me take a couple of minutes to share with you more about our clinic, who we are, and what we do, and what it means to move into this new space. the adult arts and care center started in january of 1999 as was mentioned upstairs on the sixth floor. wiring for rooms on the children's health center. last month marked our 20 year anniversary, and throughout these 20 years, the clinic has played a vital role in providing care for patients for urgent, nonemergency medical needs. we offload our emergency department by caring for patients that don't require emergency level services. we provide urgent medical care for primary care services, and we care for other san franciscans who don't have primary care, don't have insurance, and don't have access
8:54 pm
to urgent care anywhere else. and for these patients especially, our clinic is a portal of entry into the san francisco health network, where they have access to a range of services to get them healthy, and keep them healthy. for thousands of patients over the last 20 years, the first step to getting primary care was a visit to the adult urgent care center where we met their immediate medical needs and help them get health coverage and establish care and a primary care medical home. it is our of ensuring that our patients get the right care in the right place at the right time. that is crucial to the success of any healthcare system, and that is why we are also taking this opportunity to educate patients about urgent care, and how it differs from emergency care and primary care. that knowledge gives patients the power to navigate our healthcare system to their advantage so that when they have an urgent medical need, they know the right place to go for care.
8:55 pm
after the ribbon-cutting, i invite you to stay a bit and take a look around. our beautiful and newly renovated space is larger, has more rooms, it is more centrally located on the hospital campus. this will make the clinic more accessible, efficient, and patient-friendly, and result in a better care experience. finally, i am thankful that our new facility will enhance the hard work of our clinic staff, to every day provide quality urgent health care with a respectful caring attitude, and a compassionate heart. for the last 12 years, i've had the privilege of working side-by-side with these extraordinary colleagues, their perseverance and dedication to our patients continues to inspire me every day to do my best as a physician and a medical director. in this grand opening celebration, it is a perfect opportunity to express our appreciation for our staff. unfortunately, most of them weren't able to make it because many of them are working right now across the campus.
8:56 pm
so in closing, i need your help. please join me in showing our appreciation for our staff and the outstanding care they provide our patients every day. let's all give them a big round of applause, so loud, so loud that they will be able to hear it all the way across the campus. [applause] >> all right. i think it is time to cut a ribbon. >> i need some company over here are we ready? their ego. five, four, three, two, one. [applause] [applause] [♪]
