city -- proposed by city college. it's a crucial institution in our city and has to propose reductions in classes potentially up to one-third of their course offerings partially due to the changes in the state funding formula that de value life-long learning and non-credit class in our communities. i'm concerned how this could impact education for low-income and minority youth and effect faculty and staff employment and result in the loss of courses n and training programs and i look forward to reviewing the analysis and look forward to work together with the city college administration and colleagues to figure out the best way forward to support city college classes for community. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor.

mr. president. >> commissioner: madam clerk, it's 4:01. please call items 26 through 29 together. >> clerk: pursuant to a meeting the board of supervisors will convene for the following items. item 26. and item 27 is the resolution to approve the report of assessment cost submit the director of public works for curb repairs through the sidewalk inspection and repair program. item 28 is the public hearing to consider objections to a report

of assessment of costs submitted by the director of public works for inspection and/or repair of blighted properties through the abatement program performed and paid for by the city out of an abatement fund and item 29 is to the resolution to approve assessment costs submitted by the director of public works for inspection and/or repair of blighted properties ordered through the accelerated sidewalk abatement program ordered by the director the costs having been paid for out of the blight abatement fund. >> commissioner: great. colleagues, we'll be combining the hearings on assessment and cost together with both the sidewalk inspection and repair program and abatement program. we'll now open the hearings. we'll first hear from the department of public works.

>> i'm michael london on behalf of public works for the repair program and the accelerated sidewalk abatement program. the program is a proactive sidewalk inspection and repair program designed to inspect all walks in san francisco on a 25-year rolling basis with the goal of inspecting 200 blocks each year. the program was designed to make it easier for property owners to comply to maintain the sidewalks fronting their property securing permits and having repairs performed in a timely manner. property owners are responsible for maintenance under 5611 of the state highway code and public works code section 706. we performed inspections, notify the property others when defects are found that need to be repaired.

upon notification of the city, the property owners can have their own contractors make the repair or use the city contractor. when they elect for the city contractor or no response is received and the repairs have not been made in a timely manner, the city will make the repairs and then we'll come before you annually to have those costs added to the property taxes in the case of non payment. this year we had 791 invoices issued to property owners as part of the program. 712 were paid prior to notifying about the hearings. after providing notice as much may 7, 62 invoices were removed from the original list. as of today, 761 of the 79 is invoices which is roughly 97%. so we are currently putting forth 30 invoices totalling

$44,438.80 inclusive the administrative fee. the abatement program is similar except it's more of a reactive program to be more nimble to address areas and abate sidewalk conditions that are proposed hazards in one sense or another. this year as part of that program, we had 141 invoices and 66% were paid. after sending out notice in advance of the hearing, 46 invoices totalling another $64,413.25 were removed so 118 of the 141 have been paid roughly 84%. as part of the program we're asking that those remaining 23 invoices totalling $46,969.16 inclu

including the 12% administrative fee be included in the next annual property tax. i'm available for questions and have members of my team to meet with any property owners to resolve any matters or attending the hearing. >> commissioner: thank you. we will now open up for public comment. if you have a member of the public who would like to speak on items 26 through 29 threes , please come up to the podium. if you are here for the items but do not want to provide public testimony, you'll have the opportunity to speak with the department staff outside these doors to resolve your issue. public comment is now open. please line up to the right if you have anything to say. are you coming up for public

comment? have you two minutes. >> i have an accent to me it's hard to speak in two minutes. i can't express in two minutes and i feel discriminated every time i come in this department because i cannot purely expressly totally my concept to you guys. that's one number one issue. >> clerk: sir, can you son translate for you and if you want to speak in a different language. >> no, i can speak if you give me time and make my concept through. if we were in a democratic room which we're not. >> commissioner: we'll start your time right now. have you two minutes. >> so first of all, i don't believe the owner should be responsible for the sidewalk since we have ups and federal express dropping packages

destroying the sidewalk. what is the department doing the same in other stuff. in my case it's different. after a year we go straight to court to solve this because in 2007 i was disputing with the public work and they informed me because they promise me to fix the sidewalk. since 2007, they never fixed my sidewalk. they were going through my s sue -- sewer for 40 feet and there are three native that go through with the roots. they compensate me for the damage since i have flood and everything and propositioned me to fix the sidewalk and they never did.

now they're slapping me with $1200. i'm a small merchant and been 30 years in business and have 800 signatures already for the sidewalk issue thanks to my business 30 years and then i went to the public works to resolve it and mr. mohammad was not able and they asked me for an appointment and never called me for two times and i've been verbally discriminated by the department of work when i went with my son and he had to listen to insult because if this guy cannot go english he should go back to his country. if that's the position the city wants, the $1200 you're asking me would be $400,000 or $500,000 in legal action. i try to avoid that. >> commissioner: as soon as we finish public comments, there should be staff outside to come

up with an agreement. thank you very much. are there any other public comments on these items? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> these are for items 26 through 29. >> i think it's ridiculous to charge property owners for something that's city property.

if it's our responsibility i can build a house on top of it. it doesn't make sense why we pay taxes to fix the roads and the sidewalks and all these different public spaces and then we as property owners have to pay for the city to go ahead and fix things that pg&e breaks, like my father was saying, the water department breaks and then the onus is on us. i find that odd. on top of which another issue i find is that well, anyway, of course the pressure of being at the podium is a bit goes in and out.

oh, yeah, thank you. we have blocking the scoot and all these different scooters throughout the city. people smash on the floor. and the city has profit from it. we make this money in a day's ticketing motorcycles or parked cars or something like that. to me to go and hammer in on property owners who already have all this other expense to deal with to me seems over the top. >> commissioner: thank you. next. >> you left your document up here. is this your paper?

i object to you making property owners pay for liability that's owned by the city and county of san francisco. the sidewalk is property of san francisco. it's called premise liability law. you can't charge somebody for a problem that's not on the premises and it goes and flows with the mix up in values. you see here that you finally are able to comprehend my demonstrations pertaining trigger. will you stop my time. >> clerk: sf gov can you zoom out. >> you finally caught on to my demonstrations that started in

2015 and 2016 about multi billions of tax-free money to twitter and during that time frame i demonstrated where twitter received approximately $55 million of tax-free money and it goes and flows with my demonstration it's not helping the people most vulnerable and need housing who you claim you want to help. with that $55 million you could have built this 144-unit apartment building complex. oh, man. you could have used that money to build this 144-unit apartment building complex in order to help the homeless who you claim you want to help. then there's another apartment

building that cost $170 million. with what you've given twitter you could have taken a big chunk from the homeless problem and about you taxing people that have nothing to do with the liability for a property that's city owned is outrageous. >> commissioner: thank you. any other public comment on this. >> clerk: mr. president, i'll remind the public this is not general public comment. >> i agree with the two prior speakers. it's outrageous that you tax people over something which they have no control of. if you're a property owner in the city and the sidewalk outside the building needs repair, you're totally at the whim of the city government. the city government wants to fix it tomorrow. they'll fix it tomorrow. if they want to fix it in three years, they'll fix it in three years and charge you what you deem is appropriate though you go to a private contractor and get it done for half as much.

they put restrictions on you on where and when and how high and everything related to it and you're out of control. basically they don't realize i think when they get up and complain it's not your problem. you don't care. it's not your money. as long as the money keeps flowing in the city coffers and you get what you want taken care of, you really don't care with the individual private property owners. in reality, if you look at the national government, most people have given up on government in general. they don't believe you will listen to anything they have to say, in fact, 90% of the time as i sit here and listen to the public comment, i'm amazed by the fact that none of you seem to pay much attention to it. you seem more interested in playing whatever it is on your computers. i would think the one time a week you're available to your constituents and they get up to

speak to you, could take the time to look up from your paperwork and pay attention to what they had to say. but you really don't care and you make that obvious. i'll tell you where you make it obvious another time is general public comment. general public comment occurs at your whim. if somebody wants to speak to the board of supervisors they have to come in and sit for hours, literally waiting for you get around to public comment and the way you do it that way is to discourage public comment and public participation. if anybody wants to disagree with that i'd be happy to hear it but one thing i know is you never get a response from this board. you only get reaction. >> commissioner: thank you. excuse me. we have a rule here. no audibles if you want to agree wave your hand, we'll see it. and if you disagree put your

hands down. any other public comment on at the items? >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. i don't have a public comment i'm here as a private property owner i've been called to be here. the repair's done on the sidewalk. i expect i can talk to the gentleman here afterwards but i'm still very much in the dark as to the process. the repairs were done and were poorly done and i contacted the city immediately and spoke with a number of the people at the city about it and took photographs this is three years ago. the work was done poorly. it was an extraordinarily large bill approaching $10,000. there were cracks all over the pavement within the week after the work was done. the front of my building was

splattered with concrete from the work, etcetera, etcetera. a year ago i spoke to the lady from the department and she took all these details down and the first thing i've heard back from anybody is this letter i received here. it doesn't explain anything other than to show up, pay the bill plus 12%. i'm at a bit of a loss as to what to do. thank you for your time. >> commissioner: thank you. any other public comments? seeing none. >> do you guys respond to public comment by any chance? no? you don't? okay. >> commissioner: okay. seeing no other public comment, public comment is now closed. i see supervisor haney, you're on. >> if i could, through the chair have a question to the representative from d.p.w.

so in the case of sidewalks that need repair, is that always the responsibility of the property owner or is there situations where they're not at fault in any sort of way and something the city takes on. can you clarify the rules what is the property owner's responsibility and in what case the city take on the responsibility of the repair. >> the municipal public works code place responsibility for repair on the adjacent property owners but if there's asset under control of the utility country whether it's for pg&e or the water department and the owner would be response i am for the cost and repairs of that portion of the sidewalk. and the city also has

responsibility for repairs under property e and now street tree sf. public works has reassumed responsibility for any sidewalk related defect attributable to tree roots. >> commissioner: so if the sidewalk breaks for some reason and has nothing to do with anything the property owner did they have to fix it under the code? >> correct. >> does that extend to other types of trash or cleaning all of that is the responsibility of the property owner not the city? >> yes. this is strictly for the sidewalk repairs but the property owners do also retain responsibility for sidewalk

cleanliness so the condition of the sidewalk falls to the order owner. >> that's municipal code? our local law? >> public works code 33 for anti-litter and 34 for litter and i believe public works code section 74 which deals with more nuisance conditions and 706 is the municipal code for the sidewalk repairs. >> all right. thank you. >> we asked your department to coordinate with bureau of ush ban forestry and there could be an opportunity to do a sidewalk garden or to plant a tree which

would reduce the amount of concrete that would potentially be required by the property owner if there's not a tree. one i see on my lisa corner property -- list is a corner property and it would potentially be a prime opportunity to plant a tree or two or some green space. so i just wondered if that was something you had explored since we talked last year? >> yes, we have worked closely with bureau of urban forestry and the new street tree s.f. teach -- team to coordinate where landscaping is potential and the areas where our programs are going to focus so as to address areas where there's a lot of other vulnerable populations or a lot of tree-related sidewalk issues which the city would bear the response on. >> through the chair. so when have you the lists you

send them to the bureau of urban forestry they give you an assessment of where trees could be added? >> we pick out the locations and the sections of the city where we're going to go to based off of different criteria such as vulnerable populations, hospitals, schools, etcetera and then we coordination that with urban forestry. when we're on site we coordinate if we see potential tree base expansions or opportunities for installing additional landscaping we coordinate with tree inspectors from the bureau of urban forestry and work with friends of the urban forest for potential planning. >> only for vulnerable populations not the entire list? >> no, that's how we prioritize certain locations when we're pick sites to go in future years. that's the priority and urban forestry have their own crews. >> i get it. i understand they have all that what i want to know is are they

looking at the lists before they come to us? >> regardless of area. >> thank you, president yee. >> commissioner: thank you. i think -- the public hearings for items 26 and 28 have been heard and will be filed. we'll return to items 27 and 29 later in the agenda. madam clerk let's go back to roll call for introductions.

>> clerk: supervisor peskin your next to introduce new business. >> submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor ronen. >> i'm introducing a legislation to recognize may 5 as the national day of awareness honoring missing and murdered indigenous women. for years the issues have surfaced across the such and canada. last year the issue was felt in our community in san francisco. in april 2 a native-american woman from the bay view was found dead yet despite numerous calls from family and friends for an investigation to whether her death was a homicide due to an abusive relationship sfpd ignored their please and ruled it a suicide and sfpd timely opened an investigation within the special victims unit and the

medical examiner after strong public pressure. this type of law enforcement response is part of the systemic pattern of not treating this with the priority it deserves and there's many open cases in the state of california. this is unacceptable when they face a murder rate ten times the national average. of the 517 reports of missing or murdered indigenous missing own 116 were logged by the department of justice. the lack of response is horrifying. at the same time, i'm deeply inspired by the courage of indigenous women and organizers who stepped up to demand justice and they successfully organize the first day of awareness to

honor missing and murdered indigenous women on may 5, 2017. please join me in support of our native-american communities locally and nationally by recognizing may 5 as the national day of awareness honoring missing and murdered indigenous women and the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor ronen. supervisor brown. >> yes, i just wanted to say a few words because we co-sponsored. i want to recognize jessica's family's here today in support of this. i think when i think about this i also think about my own experience of growing up in utah on and off different reservations. you have to understand, i know at least four women that are missing. one actually was murdered. the other three are missing. and usually the three that i know were in their 20s. this is something i think when

we look at this, this has gone on for generations. this isn't something that has just sprouted up. and i think really looking at this and asking for this kind of attention and this kind of lens on this is really important. i feel that this is honoring jessica and all the other sisters out there that have been murdered and are missing. and i want to thank all of our local natives for being involved in this initiative. i feel every day we should be honoring our missing and murdered indigenous women. but to have one day that we can say, yes, yes they were here. yes, they are missed and yes, we will fight for justice is really important. thank you. [please stand by]

>> also, i am requesting a hearing on the use and impacts of san francisco's paid parental leave programme implemented january 1, 2017 and calling on the san francisco office of labor started and enforcement to report our country is behind so many other countries.

in our national paid parental leave policies and particularly women to choose between their newborn children and work. in san francisco we are doing better than the rest end of the country. in 2016, under the leadership of then supervisor weiner san francisco became the first city in the country to ensure employees received 100% of their salary when they took paid parental leave and san francisco's programme works like this. in san francisco, employers are required to pay the difference of the employee's salaries so they are making 100% of their salary up to a certain limit. this law has helped so many people into effect in 2017 and has become a national admit toed today the governor will be

extending the six weeks to state provided partial paid leave by two webbings to provide eight weeks of partial paid leave. under san francisco's paid parental leave programme, we will be ensured pay. we have a long way to go but this is a good step for the workers in our city. i'm calling a hearing today on san francisco's paid parental leave programme, what it's working, and to ask if there are ways to strengthen it. as a mother, this is an important issue for me and i have the benefit of straight paid leave laws and it made all of the difference. all of our workers deserves the support, particularly in our expensive city where i hard for everybody, particularly lower income workers to get by. the rest i submit. >> supervisor walton? >> thank you, madam clerk. i would like to offer in memory of miss marie harrison with supervisor marr and supervisor peskin.

miss marie harrison was a long-time environmental justice activist, fighter, organizer and resident who passed away on the evening of friday, may 3, 2019 at the age of 71. miss harrison arrived in bayview in 1966 as a teen with her mother and eight siblings. she lived in bayvie bayview huns point and worked at the ship yard. miss harrison grew suspicious of tetra-tech long before the united states navy before they began finding fraudulent samples that lead to two supervisors sent to federal prison. she provided civilian oversight to the clean-up on the federally mandated restoration advisory board for 16 years until it was disbanded. miss harrison's calling as an environmental crusader came

after she and is many others were forced out of the geneva tower's project. she helped to shut down the pg & e power plant in 2006. last year, miss harrison was honoured for a lifetime of activist by the san francisco board of supervisors. i would be remiss if i did not ask for you to continue to support the community effort to get the shipyard cleaned up completely, she told the board on june 26, 2018. miss harrison is survived by three adult children and several grandchildren. her survivors and loved ones agree that the best way to honor her legacy would be to continue her fight and make sure that the shipyard is completely clean. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor walton. >> supervisor fury, did you want

to add words to that in memorium. >> i wanted to add, may she rest in peace and, perhaps, if we could all add our names as a board. >> so we could do that on behalf of the board. >> thank you. supervisor peskin. >> thank you. i wanted announce to my colleagues and members of the public that unfortunately i have to catch a flight to southern california for the commission. i will stay for as much of the public comment as i can. but i just wanted to that on the record. i need to get to the airport in a little bit. >> thank you. >> mr. president, it your turn to introduce new business. >> thank you very much. today i'm going be introducing a resolution for daylighting or streets. there have been 12 fatalities this year on our streets. 12 of our residents have died simply by walking, biking or

driving on our streets. 12 families now trying to get through the pain of grief and are devastated by the death of their child, mother, brother, grandmother or friend. san francisco is a vision zero city but when we continue to have more than 500 people severely injured on our streets every year, a number that hasn't gone down. we must continue to do everything in our power to stop the injuries and fatalities. red curbs and intersections known as ka daylighting is a low-cost strategy that is proven to reduce collisions. in 2014, when it was 8 80 intersections, collisions went down by 15%. something as simple as red paint saved live. we must continue to engineer

safer streets with blow-outs and leading pedestrian intervals but when have something easily implemented and have proven to increase safety, what are we waiting for? daylighting improves people crossing a street on a cross-walk. i would not be deterred if folks are upset by the fact that daylighting make take away parking spaces. i will not prioritize parking over people. 75% of injuries occur on our streets. daylights is in the high quarters in the tenderloin, so it must be implemented in high injury corridors where daylight illustrates the need and that is why i'm introducing introduceina

system daylighting plan. we have a vision zero city and i will fight to protect our respects. respectses. residents. i want to thank you and i hope that other colleagues will join as a sponsoring this legislation. tout i alsi want to announce thi will be introducing with mayor reed that the 2019 affordable housing bond measure, this is a measure that has proven to be a collaborative effort with the community to figure out how we could spend down on the bond amount and there are categories that they've selected to fund.

this is a category, public housing that will allocate at this point, at least that is what we're introducing, 150 million, low income housing, 210, preservation is 30 million and middle-income is 20 million and senior housing is 90 million. this adds up to a grand total of $500 million. this could be one of our larger affordable housing bond measures in san francisco's history and i want to say that these amounts and ca categories didn't happenl by themselves. i want to thank the leadership of our community, the cochairs, too actually lead much of the discussion in the last month and a half, who have had many, many different community members. i want to thank malcolm young,

tamica moss, merna me lguard for servicing the committees. what has come out of the discussions willing introduced and, you know, it's one of the situations where we know it's not enough money but it's certainly a start and one of the things that we are committing to, the mayor and myself, is that now that we have had the discussion that housing is an infrastructure issue and need to look at it as infrastructure. just like anything else, whether it's a seawall or rec and park or fixing or buildinging buildin the city where we use it as offices. so we're hoping to add this item, affordable housing, as a

regular bond measure for the next ten-year plan. the rest i submit. >> thank you, mr. president. supervisor brown. >> thank you. today i'm introducing a resolution in support of assembly member david chu's bill, 1482, to establish a cap on annual rents increases. nearly 17 million people in california and 600,000 residents in san francisco are renters. state-wide over 50% of all renters and over 80% of low-income rentsers pay one-third in rent. these people are rent burdened. in san francisco, 150,000 renters live in housing without any rent control. that number is nearly 15 million renters across the state and that leaves them with less money

for essentials like food, transportation, education, childcare and healthcare. many also live with great anxiety brought on by the fact they lack the security o certaia size of a rent increase. currently many rentsers are left paying a guessing game how much their rent will be the following year. this fear is burdensome for renters who cannot plan for the future and who worry that they may experience homelessness when the next rent increase comes along. ab-1482 offers a solution for renters by creating price stability, certainly and predictability to rent increases from landlords. ab-1482s a cap of 5% on annual rent increases, plus the cost of living by measured by the

consumer rent index. ab-1482 also prohibits landlords from terminating a tenancy for the purpose of avoiding what ab-1482 creates. they must show a legal cost for an eviction or an assumption is established for any eviction with rent cap protections. last year, many of us campaigned in favour of prop 10, expansion of rents control. although we failed to get it through, we now have another chance with ab-1482 to reform rental laws. we should be doing all we can to

protect rent gouging for renters across the state who do not live in rent control housing. ab-1482 is supported by a diverse set of organizations including the california teacher's association, acce, bay area legal aid, invisible san francisco, mission neighborhood centers, seu california, u.n. itehereaflcio and i want to thank my colleagues, supervisor furer, haney, walton for cosponsoring this. >> colleagues, today i'm introducing a resolution in support of ab-1481 to expand just cause eviction protection state-wide. not only is california in a housing affordability crisis but we're facing an eviction crisis. everyday over 110 families are evicted from their homes, half a

million face eviction every year and this leaves them with uncertainty. under the current state law the landlords are not a reason to state a reason. in sanfrancisco, we have just-cause protections to establish substantive grounds for some of our renters but we have thousands of tenants who don't fall under our just-cause protections. 16 other cities have just cause as well but most of the state is completely unprotected. just-cause protections have been important to protect residents from arbitrary evictions or harassment, particularly in hot market communities where building owners may be enticed by financial gain to remove existing ten grant quantsants tr at thihigherrents. this is related to the cons compact lead by mtc to tackle

the crisis head-on and 1482, i believe is a part of that package. the bill not only expands just-cause possessions, but requires landlords to provide notice of the rights under this bill and gives them an alleged lease violation and an opportunity to cure it. the bill has gained wide-spread support because it will help tone sure a greater level of due process and reduce the personal and societal harms by no fault evictions. it passed through committee by assembly member chu. i want to thank supervisors furer and brown for their cosponsor. the rest i submit. >> mr. president, that includes new business. >> i move on tbefore i move on,t read it a name as one of my

cosponsors and that would be supervisor stephanie. thank you very much. so colleagues, thank you, colleagues. madam clerk, let's go to public comment. >> now is the opportunity for the public to line up on your right if you're interested in addressing the board for up to two minutes. you may speak about 2017 and items 23-34. this is a whole and if you would like to display a document on the majo overhead projector, plt your document and then remove the document whe when you woulde the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. >> michael, go ahead. >> i want to start off by

commending peskin for putting trent royal in check with several contracts that he violated. that's not the only contract that's been violated. there's a contract that applies to this mission rock, a 1,500 apartment building complex and there's a section that says under community development law, that 15% of those apartments are supposed to be for a very low and low-income bracket people. 15% of 1,500 means 225 of those apartments is supposed to be for a very low and low income bracket people. you are in breach of that contract. and by the same response each and every building that's been coming out of the mayor's office on housing has not been following this rule and regulation because the reason, just like you trent royal in

check, mr. peskin, i want you to pursue each and every apartment building complex that came out of the mayor's office on housing that is not applying this 15% rule. and about this shelter navigation center, it's proof you're traumatizing the shelter people who you claim you're helping on the grounds you can only stay in that shelter for 90, 60 days at the most and after that, you kick them out and them back on the street and retraumatize them all over again. hi idea of rebuilding that 12 27-story apartment building complex for three stories at a rate of $56 million per set of three units is the best idea. you have to look passed the tip of your nose into the future to take care of the problems we have here. you have a housing situation here where you have

approximately 28,000 -- >> thank you. next speaker. ok, go ahead. >> thank you, board of supervisors. i'm jewish, a practitioner for 20 years and i want to speak about the second war. i remember the second war, how it starts, like it was today. i was only 40 years, but i saw a plane coming when i was out of my house. and it was swastica on it so the war has start. there were six million jewish

people were killed in this war. iless eight of mi lost eight of. it's now going on in china. they work on harvesting from young practitioners. and now i talk about the name of the metro station. i don't want the name of the metro station. why? because she has truthful

compassion for veterans because the principles are far and gone, but she went to chin china to me surgery on her kidneys and she got it very soon. and it might be from leaving young practitioner. so who is rose? >> thank you for your comments. >> next speaker? go ahead and start. >> my name is jerry scott and i sympathize with the previous

speaker. once the board of speakers want to get ahold of what they want to do, they go ahead and do it. i'm experiencing the same thing and i'm here to notify supervisor peskin that i am initiating a historical review of any names of new streets that are going to happen, hopefully you know history and you're the champion and you know everything about our city, pretty much. it's incumbent upon you to review any street name changes, please, because i'm experiencing a tragedy right now. i live on gilbert street and they want to change it to jepadatzi way who was a drug addict. i don't want to live there and nobody else does either. >> excuse mess me, you cannot sk on items that have been heard in

committee. >> i'm going to speak on procedure. this proceed needs to be review bid you or a historian like you before it's brought if front of the la land use committee. i was at the la land use commite and nobody has been notified on the street name changes. they need to be notified because after that, it's too late because they make a motion. the procedure now needs to be changed for the street names because the procedure doesn't involve the input of the people who live and work there. it's us who's affected. i've lived on gilbert street 43 years. i don't want to hire an attorney for $20,000 to change it in through different counties with the property deeds because you want to do the political right

thing. it doesn't make us happy and we're not supporters of changes. thank you. >> next speaker. >> hello. i'm from river nation, northern california. i'm here to offer words, gratitude and thanks to you all. for honouring jessica elva. we love you, cousin. we miss you. for honoring all missing and murdered indigenous women, no more stolen sisters. you heard us. you did the right thing. our people are still here.
