both the needs of the water quality division and the waste water enter price. and on the water quality enterprise, we have to also have drinking water that meets all federal and state quality regulations. and lead in schools, we're playing a problem in remediating this problem of lead in schools. >> our role here in communications is being able to take the data that we have that we know is protective of public health and safety and transmit it, give it to the public in a way they understand we are really doing our jobs well and making sure that they are safe always. >> the public learned very quickly all the accurate facts and all the critical information that they needed to know, and it's up to these individuals and their agencies and their commitment to the city. >> i enjoy the work because i can help people, and i can help the utilities to provide a better water quality, make sure

that people feel that drinking hetch hetchy water is actually a pride. >> hats off to the water quality team because between them working on late nights, working on the weekends when the schools are closed, and working as a partner in the school district for the times they found a higher lead sample, they worked through to address that, so the team went above and beyond and is continuing to do that today.

>> they tend to come up here and drive right up to the vehicle and in and out of their car and into the victim's vehicle, i would say from 10-15 seconds is all it takes to break into a car and they're gone. yeah, we get a lot of break-ins in the area. we try to -- >> i just want to say goodbye. thank you. >> sometimes that's all it

takes. >> i never leave anything in my car. >> we let them know there's been a lot of vehicle break-ins in this area specifically, they target this area, rental cars or vehicles with visible items. >> this is just warning about vehicle break-ins. take a look at it. >> if we can get them to take it with them, take it out of the cars, it helps.

preference for households displaced by the redevelopment agency, displaced by tenant housing preference and neighborhood resident housing preference programs. advocates worked hard for many years to put these programs in place. while they are a useful tool, we know this is insufficient. among 9,620 applications, only 305 families that house between july 1st 2016 and june 30th, 2018. 305 out of 9,620 is absolutely unacceptable. remember, they are people with preference, many, as a direct result of racist housing legislation. and not the population as a whole in need of affordable housing who are even less likely to obtain housing. we agreed that we need to prioritize these preferences, but we also need to build more affordable housing. there were no preferences eligible for projects in just a four, one, or seven, and display the image of what we might have what -- thousands of potential

applicants are from poor currently live on the west side and in my district pick the preference policies will not reverse the rampant displacement crisis. we need to dedicate resources for projects in all neighborhoods, and particularly where affordable housing has not been developed like district four. thank you. >> supervisor welton? >> thank you, i also wanted to comment on the report along with supervisor mar, and i 100% agree that we need to build more affordable housing, particularly consistently across the city. i do want to highlight the fact that the data shows in the report that the neighborhood preference legislation is working. we fought very hard to put that legislation in place. because of the outmigration of block forks, because of the folks that we are losing people of color in the city every day, and so the hard work of the preference is demonstrated that it does work within the data and in the report, but we have a long way to go before we can

reverse any trends of outmigration and in order to be able to keep our population's indigenous as we grow as a city. i want to thank the supervisors for calling for this reports because this is something we have to closely monitor and watch year after year, but i am excited to see it working as we continue to build more affordable housing in our communities. >> supervisor brown? >> thank you. i want to thank everyone who really supports the work we have done on this legislation. as a legislative aide, in district five, this was something that i took and push through, for then-president breed. i met -- that was neighborhood preference. the reason behind it is because we were seeing a lot of developments being built, whether that was seen the mission, the southeast part of this city, and what we kept hearing was who are we building this for? it is not for us, and so one of

the things that we had looked at , and this is actually from new york, they have been doing neighborhood preference since the seventies, and it works, is keeping -- helping to not gentrify neighborhoods, keeping neighborhoods together, so anytime there is an affordable complex being built, 40% of that actually goes to neighborhood preference, we also had a pushback from the federal government, saying we couldn't use neighborhood preference, but we went to washington, d.c. and fought that, and we were able to use it at the willoughby kennedy senior housing development. do i think that we need more affordable housing on the west side? absolutely, and i feel that as we are looking at creative housing, we should be looking at preferences. anytime you're looking at housing, to make sure that we keep neighborhoods together,

because i all of us leave ourselves into the fabric of a neighborhood, and when we need to move, or we have to have housing, we want to stay in the neighborhood that we love. so i feel it is very important that all neighborhoods in our city have affordable housing being built that they too can take advantage of these preferences. thank you. >> thank you. supervisor fewer? >> thank you. i think that what i pulled from the report is also echoing what supervisor morse -- mar said, is that my district has a great need for affordable housing, and they do have preference and there is not a single site in my district of affordable housing to actually accommodate them, so , yes, definitely, we need more on the west side, and especially just piggybacking on what supervisor brown said, these people have lived in our neighborhood sometimes all their lives. so looking for more affordable

affordable housing complexes to be built in my district so we can accommodate people on the west side. thank you. >> thank you. colleagues, can we take this same house, sin call? without objection, this resolution is passed unanimously madame clerk, please call the next item. >> item 21 is an ordinance to amend the building code to enact and expedite and streamline permit processes for solar energy systems to affirm the determination and make the appropriate findings. >> colleagues -- supervisor peskin? >> i wanted to acknowledge and thank former supervisor katy tang who passed this on to me. >> colleagues, can we take this same house, sin call? without objection, this ordinance passes on first reading unanimously. madame clerk, please call the next item. >> item 22 is an ordinance to amend the planning code to require all projects using the

state density bonus lot regardless of environmental evaluation application date to pay the inclusionary fee on any additional units or square footage allowed by the state to affirm the determination and to make the appropriate findings. >> colleagues, i believe this nation will need to be continued due to amendments that are not prepared for today. before we vote on a continuance, supervisor peskin, would you like to share any remarks? >> thank you, yes. there needs to be some additional findings that we did not put in an committee, and there is a deputy city attorney who is working on that, and they should be ready at our next meeting, so i would like to ask for a continuance to our first meeting in april, which is our next meeting. >> okay. there is a motion made by supervisor peskin. is there a second? seconded by supervisor ronen. without objection, this ordinance will be continued to

building, plumbing, electrical and housing codes to correct or clarify existing language to reenact a permit requirement specific to fences and at enforcement provisions for the building façade inspection and maintenance program to affirm the determination and to make the appropriate findings. >> colleagues, same house, same call? without objection, this resolution is adopted unanimously. please call the next item. >> mr. president, you indicated that that item 25 was an ordinance passed on first reading. >> it is adopted unanimously. >> you are correct, it was adopted unanimously, but it was only passed on first reading. >> okay. so this resolution is passed on first reading unanimously. is that correct? >> it is an ordinance that was passed on first reading.

>> so i need some assistance here. when i supposed to do? >> in our minutes, we will record that item as an ordinance that was passed on first reading >> you bring much. >> thank you. >> madame clerk, please call the next item. >> item 26 is an ordinance to dedicate property under city jurisdiction and located on a portion of stage trust parcel two commonly known as mission bay park five as open space, open public right right-of-way in mission bay south, naming the new park mission bay dog park and to make the appropriate findings. >> colleagues, can we take this same house, same call? without objection, this resolution is passed on first reading unanimously -- unanimously. please call the next item. >> item 27 is a resolution to determine that the issuance of a type 42 on sale here and one liquor license to decant s.f.

will serve the public convenience or necessity of the city. >> colleagues, can we take this same house, same call? without objection, this resolution is adopted unanimously. madame clerk, please call the next item. >> twenty-eight is an ordinance to amend the administrative code to set the minimum size size of lettering for exterior and interior signage for the harvey milk terminal, terminal one of the san francisco international airport, and mr. president, this item was amended in committee and subsequently the budget and legislative analyst has determined that the amended ordinance has fiscal impact on administrative code section 2.6- 3, and should be referred to a fiscal committee. >> supervisor ronen? >> yes, thank you, colleagues, as per usual with the naming of terminal one after harvey milk, there has been another hiccup.

even though this law passed unanimously year ago to change the name, the airport did say that they would comply with the law, they have continuously undermined the intent. when they gave us a mockup of what the sign in front of the harvey milk terminal would look like, it had terminal one in huge massive lettering, and, you know, maybe a quarter of this size, the harvey milk terminal. it almost looked like an asterisk. so we felt the need to introduce legislation to return it to the original intention, which ones to proudly, and out leave name just terminal after harvey milk, unfortunately, every step of the way i have had to fight to make this a reality. when supervisor compost had this idea years ago to name the entire airport after harvey milk , we were overwhelmed by the

opposition and the resistance on the part of the airport. we then created a committee to figure out which terminal to name after harvey milk, the committee suggested terminal one , which we embraced, but then every step of the way of trying to get that intention and the life and the legacy of harvey milk a reality in that terminal has been a struggle. i do want to thank the mayor and the chief of staff for intervening and realizing how frustrating this experience has been. they have informed the airport that they should be working with us and actually making this a reality, so in committee, i am constantly feeling the need to legislate with besa sift -- specificity every step of this process, something we really have to do with city departments

when they understand the intent of the law that passes unanimously before that the board of supervisors, they generally work with you to realize that intention. that has not been the case here, so we have felt we have had to legislate to be very specific. so when i made an amendment at committee to make very clear that any sign in the terminal that says terminal one should also include that it is the harvey milk terminal in equal or bigger lettering. the airport determines that there is a fiscal impact, and now we will have to send it back to committee. so we are going to be back in committee and we hope to have it back to you, if not at the next board meeting, then the following one, but if i can continue to have the support of my colleagues on this, i would appreciate it because we have had to fight to do an snail every step of the way. thank you. >> colleagues, as mentioned, this item has a fiscal impact and should be referred to the

fiscal committee, can i have a motion to referred this item to the budget and finance subcommittee? made by supervisor ronen, seconded by supervisor walton. without objection, this item will be rereferred to the budget and finance committee. madame clerk, it is act -- it is exactly 2:30 p.m., and something special is going to happen, so let's go to our special accommodations. >> it is now time for the annual declared women's history month i recognizes amazing women and highlights a contribution to events in history and to contemporary society. >> colleagues -- [applause] >> just your finger thing here, and we will that you really are supporting this character

colleagues, we are celebrating women charge a history month to recognize the efforts of women in our great city. this year's theme is visionary women. champions of peace and nonviolence, honoring women who have shaped history and its future through public service and leadership. women charge a history month is a time to appreciate the contributions of women in our communities who are courageous leaders working to improve the quality of life for all san franciscans. i want to take a moment to welcome our honourees, their families, and loved ones to the city hall board chamber. thank you for being with us today. since 1996. the commission and department of the status of women guises the vital work and contributions of women in our community.
