pelosi with gabby giffords in the background. as you recall, congresswoman giffords was shot in the head eight years ago last month. six people were killed that day and 13 people were wounded. before gabby was shot, proud nra member sarah palin had gabby's district on a targeted list showing it to be in the crosshairs of a gun site over her district. the ordinance before you today would rescind the police department's authority to be a member of the nra and to collect tournament fees on behalf of the nra in connection with holding firearms tournaments. i want to thank chief scott and the san francisco police department for supporting this ordinance and for not engaging with the nra for years. we all know that words matter, and i want the nra removed from our police code to avoid any possibility of legitimizing this toxic and dangerous organization. my goal really is to make the nra the pay phone of lobbyists,

rarely seen, hardly necessary, and ancient history. i want to thank my fellow members, chair mandelman and supervisor walton for passing this out of committee with recommendation and to the rest of my colleagues, i urge your support. >> president yee: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: could i get down as co-sponsor, please? >> president yee: of course. supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: i just wanted to be added as a co-sponsor. >> president yee: supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: yeah, i'd like to be added as a co-sponsor, too, and thank supervisor stefani for her leadership on not just this ordinance, but these very important issues. thank you. >> president yee: okay, supervisor stefani, if i hadn't already indicated, i want to be a co-sponsor. i want to be co-sponsor. okay, anybody -- supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i'd like to

be added as a co-sponsor, as well. >> president yee: supervisor brown, supervisor fewer, supervisor peskin, supervisor mandelman. i guess there's no objection to this. so that's unanimous in terms of everybody being a co-sponsor, so without objection, this ordinance is passed unanimously in first reading. madam clerk, next item, please. >> clerk: item 34 is a resolution to support california state senate bill no. 23 authored by senator scott weiner and co-authored but multiple assembly members including members david chu and phil ting to expand the definition of vehicle burglary to include any unlawful entry. >> president yee: colleagues, can we take this -- supervisor brown? >> supervisor brown: yes, thank you, president yee. i just want to thank senator

weiner for bringing this bill, sb 23, forward and also my co-sponsor on the board of soups, supervisor stefani, supervisor stefani, mar, and walton. i just wanted to give a couple of facts about this particular sb-23. san francisco has the highest rate of property crime in the state, and in 2017 there were over 32,000 auto burglaries in san francisco. the city's property crime rate is over double the statewide average. i receive calls every week from my constituents asking what is city hall doing about the car break-in epidemic and i imagine other supervisors are getting the same kind of calls. my constituents are frustrated and want us to do something to help them get relief. what sb-23 does, it clarifies the definition of auto burglary, defines auto burglary as

entering a vehicle unlawfully with the intent to commit theft. it also removes a wide loophole currently when a suspect auto burglar is arrested, prosecutors must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the vehicle was locked. problematic, often victims are unable to attend a hearing to testify. they may be tourists who have returned home, or they may be residents who cannot take time off from work or school to testify. additionally, many folks do not have the -- have comprehensive insurance or their comprehensive insurance is too expensive, so they are forced to pay out of pocket to repair their smashed windows. sb-23 does not increase penalties for anyone convicted for auto burglary. what this does is it closed the loophole, removing a barrier to provide proving the obvious, that a window was broken to gain entry to a locked vehicle.

sadly, car break-ins are now epidemic in california cities, and we have to be smart when parking, but san franciscans and tourists shouldn't have to think twice any time we consider parking. no one should. broken glass ought to be enough to prove forced entry. that's just common sense. thank you. >> president yee: okay, thank you. colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call? without objection, this resolution's adopted unanimously. madam clerk, please call the next item. >> clerk: item 35 is an ordinance to amendment the administrative code from prohibiting police officers from questioning persons 17 years of age or younger and demand responsible adults be given access to youth while primp police officers are questioning the youth.

>> president yee: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much, colleagues. first i want to thank everyone who sponsored or co-sponsored this legislation. this legislation is about protecting the rights of children and youth in the city when they come into contact with the police. it mandates all youth under 18 consult with legal representation before they can be interrogated by police or before they can waive their miranda rights. it also requires that a responsible adult, such as a parent or a caregiver, have the opportunity to be present when a young person is in police custody and being questioned or talked to by the police. i have passed around some small technical edits that the city attorney made after this item was heard in committee, as well as one important addition. we are naming this law after our beloved public defender jeff adachi. jeff worked closely with our office on this law from the very beginning, together with patty lee. among his many accomplishments, he was a champion for youth

rights and juvenile justice reform and did incredibly important work to protect the civil liberties of our young people. therefore, on page 3 it now reads "this chapter, 96-c, shall be known as the jeff adachi youth rights ordinance." these increased protections for youth are unprecedented. if we pass this today, san francisco will have the strongest laws in the country protecting children and youth in police custody. [ please stand by ]

>> is there a second? supervisor walton. with no objection, we will take the amendment. colleagues, can we take this ordinance as amended and pass it -- take the same house same call? okay. without objection, the ordinance as amended has passed unanimously on first reading.

madame clerk, please call the next item. >> item 36 is a motion to appoint annmarie fortier, bunny elizabeth rosenberg and brian vanhorn, terms ending april 30th, 2020 and nina irani, april 30th, 2021, to the commission of animal control and welfare. >> okay. colleagues, can we take this item say house same call? without objection, this motion is approved unanimously. madame clerk, let's go right into roll call. >> will call for introductions. you are first up to introduce new business, supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madame clerk. i want to thank all the cosponsors for their support of the resolution i am introducing today for next week charge or adoption without community reference calendar supporting california state assembly bill 1161, which our entire

legislative delegation has sponsored a simile member two, senator weiner, and assembly member tang. rarely in politics do things move this quickly, but our legislative delegation has actually authored legislation that would extend consumer protections for the practice of balanced billing, not only at san francisco general hospital, but throughout the state of california, so i again want to thank the media for shining a light on this, and for the courageous testimony that we all heard at the government audit and oversight committee, and again yesterday across the street in the governor charge a conference room from patients who, like our president, and a number member of this body, were balanced build. i also, relative to a few more words about public defender jeff adachi, like supervisor ronen, i

want to cite that we worked closely together on the legislation that will come before this body to check the unchecked surveillance industry, and i just wanted to -- i forgot to mention that in my earlier comments, and finally, i have introduced a request for a hearing pursuant to section 3.100 of the charter, as to the mayor's appointment of somebody named scott health board to the retirement board, and they look fuller to hearing about his qualifications and experience in front of the rules committee pursuant to florida rule to .18.3. the rest i will submit. >> thank you supervisor peskin. supervisor ronen? >> thank you, madame clerk. today i rise on a couple of

issues. first of all, i want to acknowledge that supervisor walton, wherever he is, and i have been dealing with some seriously vexing issues in our district, pertains to illegal dumping. we have, based on 311 data, and also from my own experiences can speaking with constituents, a significant, significant volume of individuals and 311 calls as it pertains to illegal dumping all over district ten and 11. today, he and i are asking, and requesting the city attorney to begin drafting legislation as it pertains to construction and demolition waste. if you've -- if you recall, we had a hearing about a year and a half ago regarding the zero waste goals, in the first piece of the step we took was our mandatory recycling and composting legislation. that was supported unanimously

by this body. i think i -- i think all of my colleagues that supported that, but part of the hearing in that conversation was about how we are going to achieve a zero waste in san francisco, and one of the last areas of concern was large refuse generators, if you recall, those large buildings that produce their less than 1% of the account holders in the city, yet they produce over 20% of the volume that we send to landfill. a second piece of that is construction and demolition waste, and so we are asking the city attorney to work, to begin drafting legislation, and working with the environment, working with supervisor walton and the mayor's office. we are very concerned about achieving our zero waste goals, and at the same time, dealing with laws that choose to dump on our streets, rather than using the appropriate channels. we believe that reforming this process, whether they are small contractors are large contractors, and having them go

through a more certified process and oversight, we will begin to really tackle the amount of illegal dumping that happens in our respective districts, particularly district ten and 11. well at the same time, helping to achieve our environmental goals as part of the environmental agenda, or is more popularly -- popularly called today, the green agenda. and having that is the last piece of that. so we look forward to working with the city attorney on that. the second piece is, we are working on our a.d.u. legislation. we have asked for a 90 day extension. this ain't the legislation that we introduced is conforming to state law. we have some pyrite requirements that have been enabled through state legislation, and he knew to conform to that, but we want to ensure the historic preservation commission and the planning department have had an opportunity to work. we are asking for a 90 day

extension on that. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor. supervisor stefani. >> thank you, madame clerk. as you know, they ended their service in san francisco on february 1st, 2019 period. chariot reported 3500 writers use their two busiest lives in district 1200 the morning and evening rush hour. the significant number of constituents and commuters in need of transportation. i'm calling for a hearing to islam examine the impact sufficiently it shut down on transportation in san francisco, including had chariot writers have adopted to the loss of the surface, and to explain the steps the sfmta is taken to provide transportation options to former riders and requesting the sfmta to report. earlier this month, as you know, chariot did and all of his operations, ending a key transportation service in san francisco that many people in my district have relied upon. a key take away from chariot shutdown is that it is externally difficult to privatize public transportation.

it requires a subsidy that obviously they cannot afford. nonetheless, thousands of people took chariot shuttles to commute to get around the city. chariot arose because we need that was not covered by many mobile transit system or any other forms of transportation in the city. some chose chariot because it was faster than our own any mobile system. others opted for chariot is a more affordable and environmentally from the way to travel down their own cars or t.n.c. either way, chariot users benefited from the surface, and they do not have it now. we need to adapt and accommodate all our residents no longer have shuttle service yes, i did ask whether or not the current system can accommodate his thousands of users, and what steps we need to take to provide these writers transportation alternatives. we also need to learn why writers opted for chariot of their other options in the first place, and what lessons we can learn from chariot service to improve our own system. while this venture did not exceed, it demonstrated an unmatched demand from transit in san francisco, a demand that is

critical to fixing congestion on the street as combating climate change. i would like to thank clear me robredo her leadership following the closure. she initiated -- initiated the city drive program to expedite the process. this program will help address operator shortage, improve transit service across the city, and connect people with jobs. i look for to hearing from the sfmta as to how we can accommodate these writers and improve upon our public transportation service. i'm also introducing a resolution today in support of sv 281, introduced by senator scott weiner that would ban gun shows at the cow palace, and create a joint powers authority to oversee the area. 182017, you had the highest number of gun deaths in the last 20 years. america has a gun homicide right mac 25 times higher of its pure nations, and over 100 lives are lost every day. mass shootings have become so commonplace that they are sometimes not even mentioned by the media get just last week in hamilton, some thought there was a gun, and it caused pandemonium quickly our nation traumatized

by gun violence. afraid a mask shooting may occur at a production of hamilton because why not, they had occurred in movie theaters, places of worship, concerts, bars, make clubs, college campuses, high schools, and even elementary schools. a california has some of the strictest gun laws in the country, yet we experience an unacceptable amount of gun violence and must do everything we can to turn the tide against this image of -- epidemic. on five -- five previous occasions for the california legislature has attempted to ban the cow palace gun shows. the most recent being lesser in 2018 which governor brown vetoed. and on twitter previous occasions, the legislator attempted to ban gun shows a statewide. i'm absolutely thrilled that senator weiner introduced s.b. 281, van -- banning the sales of guns and a musician at -- ammunition at the cow palace. the governing bodies of san francisco, daily city, and san mateo county have voiced their opposition to gun shows, being held at the cow palace

fairgrounds. in san francisco, specifically, does not allow gunshots to exist within its communities. i'm introducing this resolution, supporting sv 281. this bill is another step towards ending violence in california and america, i'm saving thousands of lives every year. i would like to thank supervisors brown, supervisor ronen and walton for their sponsorship in support of this resolution. lastly, i also want to thank senator weiner and a family members for co-authoring this legislation. after years of effort, i hope this bill becomes law with this miniature -- signature of governor newsome. finally, i would like to close the meeting in memory of john penny -- john connie. i'm sorry. of the left member of our community. also known as mr. san francisco. he passed away peacefully in his sleep on thursday, february

prepare for this hearing, which is an opportunity for the department to present their safety improvement plans in response to the in b.c. investigative report, which aired last week. i also am introducing, along with supervisor mar and fewer legislation to address the growing need for child care facilities in san francisco. we have 23,000 infants and toddlers in -- and nearly 20,000 preschoolers in the city. eighty 5% of the children ages zero to that what luck, do not have licensed care, had around 50% of the children ages zero to five have an unmet need. there are over 2,000 families who are on a waitlist to receive care. while the passage five early

care and education for all last june, it meant an unprecedented level of investment to eliminate the waiting list, and to expand access to our middle income families. we are still awaiting court decisions. at this point in time, we have a long ways to go in order to provide the services for the growing demand. we certainly need to do more to support the childcare educators who are barely getting a living wage despite the significance of their work. we all know how expensive it is to seek quality early care seen -- and education for young children. it can cost more then a renter even college tuition. but what has become more apparent is it is also exceedingly difficult for child care facilities to operate, because of the hot real estate

market, many childcare facilities are at risk of displacement and are unable to find new spaces. we are hearing stories from long time childcare providers who are uncertain about their future. what does a child care site closure mean? not only for the educators, staff, and students, but their families. inc. -- an entire neighborhood will lose licensed lots that may never be replaced. losing a childcare facility leaves a gaping hole in the community. we are already falling behind in terms of existing needs. therefore we need to stabilize the existing licensed facilities if we ever want to serve all the families we seek -- who seek childcare. in order for us to better understand how to support these facilities and how best to

encourage the licensed childcare spaces, we are proposing an 18 month interim control that would require a conditional use authorization if any existing childcare facilities is changed to another use. as san francisco grows, we will need more childcare spaces to accommodate existing unmet needs, and the projected growth in our young child population. i will now turn it over to supervisor mar to share his remarks on this ordinance. would you like to say anything? >> yes. thank you for using this legislation. i am really committed to cosponsoring it and working with you on exploring solutions to

the threats to our existing childcare and preschool facilities and i would just add that for me, this is really important because there are a couple of childcare preschool facilities in my district teen district four, the sunset district, that right now are under threat because they are housed in properties that have been put on the market for sale, and one of these schools in particular has been serving the community in the sunset and citywide for over 30 years. it was really the first on san francisco -- it was the first by legal preschool. it really -- and they have been at that same location throughout -- throughout the past 13 years. in my communications with the school, they have struggled, they have rdb looking for another site in the neighborhood for about a year now and haven't

been able to find that. this is the tip of the iceberg of a problem that we are seeing for our existing childcare and preschool facilities threatened due to the development in san francisco. >> chair peskin: thank you, supervisor mar. i want to add that it was only two years ago that we almost lost one in my district for when a facility was going to be close down because it was going to be redeveloped. and then i also know that in district six, there is another facility that might be under threat. because again, because of the sales, so we really need this moratorium to figure out how best to move forward, and i also want to thank supervisor peskin for introducing the resolution to support a.v. 1611. i think this is an important

move. we are listening to so many other folks that have been impacted by this so-called balanced billing, and san francisco is not alone in this. we need to do something about that. i want to also echo, joining and appreciating us in layman david to, and senator weiner, and also assemblyman phil taking. the rest i submit. >> thank you, mr. president. supervisor brown. >> thank you. today i will introduce legislation with mayor brayden my colleagues to establish a new one-year pilot to leave the dvi department of building inspection fees for 100% affordable housing, and accessory dwelling units known as a.d.u. it is not news. we need more housing, especially affordable housing. we need more choices for people who live and work here and want

to stay here. we need this for working people, for people getting back on their feet, young people just starting out, for growing families, our multicultural and generational families, and for our seniors who maybe ready to downsize but want to stay in their neighborhoods, close to families and friends. 100% affordable housing projects are absolutely essential to ensure san francisco remains a city for san franciscans of all income levels. not just the rich. by lowering costs and streamlining the process, this legislation supports the construction of these important projects. a.d.u.s are another simple, creative, cost effective solution for expanding our housing supply, especially for studios and one bedrooms. a.d.u. his have been found to be a good match for the housing needs and preferences of many single households, which make up a significant and growing

percentage of all san francisco households, nearly 40% today. these are all san franciscans of all ages. we hope and expect the fees waived will make a real difference for small property owners who typically personally finance the cost of a.d.u. his, construction. we need them to help us build the housing we all need. i'm excited about unlocking this potential and looking forward to continuing my work with supervisor mar and all of you to encourage more san francisco's to help build new affordable housing. the rest i submit. >> thank you. supervisor fewer. >> thank you very much. today, i introduce a hearing with supervisor hilary ronen on the policies and protocols within the san francisco police department governing the public relief -- release a private citizen information, particularly during an active investigation. i am outraged at what appears to be leaked information to the press surrounding the tragic

death of our friend and colleague, jeff adachi, but i have to say, my frustration about this issue extends far beyond this particular case. we have seen an increasing practice of particular stations posting mugshots of arrestees on social media. a year ago, in early 2018, of police department opened an investigation into whether a former p.o.a. president had broken state law by using an individual rap sheet as a prop during a public community forum, although i'm not aware of the results of that investigation. all of this contributed, has contributed to pressing questions for me and my colleagues, what are the departmental general orders governing the release of private information? who has access to sensitive private information? what is a protocol for what information can be made public and by whom? what is the accountability mechanism within the department if staff are found to have released private information in violation of departmental

general orders are in violation of state law? and how is the police department ensuring that improper conduct with regards to the release of private information is prevented in the future? this is not just an issue with high-profile cases, what this is an issue about public trust, and whether members of the public can trust that they and their loved ones are not being exposed and an unwarranted invasion of privacy or confidential information. whether as a suspect, victim, or informant. in addition to supervisor ronen, i would like to thank the other cosponsors of this hearing. supervisors mar, brown, yee, peskin, haney, mantle men and walton. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor. supervisor haney? >> thank you. i am introducing a resolution

today in support of the california state assembly bill 362, which would create a three-year pilot program allowing san francisco to implement an overdose prevention program to the operation of safe injection sites, creating a safe injection sight in the city is a holistic approach by tackling the opioid crisis, by proactively engaging in highly vulnerable and difficult to reach populations with compassion and treatment options. this is very similar to the bill that passed last year that was unfortunately vetoed by governor brown, we are hoping for a different result this year, because of the particular impact that this will have on san francisco, it is important that, again, the city and county takes a proactive approach in helping to ensure that this bill is passed and signed. thank you to the leadership of senator scott weiner and a simile members for tackling such an important issue.

as you all know, there are an estimated 22,000 people who inject drugs in san francisco, and drug injection is responsible for approximately 100 deaths each year at the bottom. it is a leading cause of accidental death in california. all of the evidence that is out there, from the examples and from the research suggests that safe injection sites can both save lives and save money. there are other cities across the country that are considering similar approaches, and san francisco has been a leader in this. i want to also thank and commend mayor breed for coming out in support of this approach, and i hope that it not only passes the legislature this time, that that it is signed into law, and that we are able to move forward this bold and proactive approach. the rest i submit.

>> thank you, supervisor yee had. >> thank you. today i am introducing the resolution that is a product of the powerful and steadfast efficacy of amazing climate justice activists, in particular, i want to thank some folks who worked closely with my all it -- office in crafting this resolution. we are declaring an emergency because simply put katherine his normal time to waste. san francisco, like the rest of california, a suffering impacts of climate change in the form of droughts, air pollution, extreme heats, and lowland flooding. earlier today, at a press conference we did, i stated some pretty scary projections. 8 feet of sea level rise over the next 100 years, and we know that even at 3 feet, the ferry building will be flooding twice daily. the embarcadero, mission bay and marina will all be at risk.

already we are planning to permanently closed two lanes of the highway in response to rising tides quickly know that we and our successes successors will have to find billions and tens of billions or more to make the infrastructure investments necessary to protect the city from climate change impacts that are already inevitable. we have to take every feasible action to prevent even more severe impacts. emergency is upon us and we need to recognize that an act with urgency face on the recognition every day. san francisco has been a leader on environment issues and we should all be grateful for the tremendously talented staff of the department of environment and in particular, i want to think director raphael and others for their help with this resolution. i also want to thank the mayor charge office for their council. this resolution seeks to build on and amplify their efforts. i want to thank my office as well. brickley haywardch
