>> hi. my name is ted guggenheim, and i'm a resident giving in district 5, and i'm a member of the tobacco free coalition. jool is a part of big tobacco, and for anyone who thinks that big tobacco has not infiltrated our school i show you this article, vaping, is it cool to school? i think everyone should do it every day. it's the best. you could even say amazing. e-cigarette companies try to market themselves as a healthier alternative to cigarettes. this would be like coca-cola investing in pop tarts and then tell you that pop tarts are a

healthy product. jool is not cool let's keep it out of school. thank you for your time. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, everyone. my name is selara, and i live in the bay district of san francisco. i'm a member of projecting of group, and we're a group of young people that have an interest in controlling the sales of on-line flavored tobacco within san francisco and california in general. we conducted a research among high school students and from the survey, we found 50% of the students they compared flavored e-cigarettes to

regular cigarettes. we know that all e-cigarettes contain nicotine, which is very detrimental to the health and it's also very addictive. i don't think any of our parents would like us to be exposed to that especially for nicotine so i support the ban. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is audrey bedelia. i am a member of the san francisco tobacco free coalition and proudly san francisco born and bred. when i began my work providing tobacco use prevention education throughout the bay area, including here in the city more than four years ago i never would have predicted that i'd find myself in the front line, standing in halls

and classrooms where thousands of youth that i speak to have fallen casualty to the deceptive tactics of jool and other e-cigarettes manufacturers to gain new customers. this is much more than an epidemic. we are at war. at war with companies who defend profits over the health of our most vulnerable populations, who have yet to set foot in the trenches of our schools and homes and assess the real damage that they've caused. e-cigarettes continue to go unregulated. companies use tactics to target youth and minorities that

otherwise are illegal for tobacco companies. millions more are getting hooked and cities like san francisco are paying over 300 million annually towards the economic cost of addiction. all the while, more and more research reveals the harmful health effects of these products. san francisco has the opportunity to protect the youth of this community by supporting this ordinance and send this message to the e-cigarette companies. this city is done paying your reparations. it's time to wave your white flag and keep your products out of our city -- >> clerk: thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon. my name is randy wong, and my organization holds quit smoking

groups for the general public and in the past have held quit smoking groups for teenagers. i'd just like to weigh when you decide what to do today, a story of a middle school that i went to two years ago. it's in the southern part of the city and a group of 8th graders were caught all vaping. going to that school i noticed that there were many shy folks outspoken 8th graders, tall ones small ones, and the one thing that they had in common as i was talking to them is they are all 13 years old, and they just started vaping for the first time. that is something that i think must be considered today, and i wanted to share also that in the last two years, this really has intensefied. this is the reality that we've seen on the ground in the youth centers and where we go.

thank you. >> hello. my name is sean patterson. i am a resident of san francisco. i started as a smoker when i was probably almost 16. i'm now 41. the only reason i quit cigarettes after trying every other alternative was learning about vape products about three years ago. i haven't touched a cigarette in three years. you talk about harm reduction and that's exactly what this is. i'm here for the same reasons -- same reasons as the people that are worried about our children, our youth. i'm on the same side as them. i believe we do need to have harm reduction but they're looking at this in a wrong way with poor evidence and poor scientific study so i want to share is a study done by truth.org which, of course, is

pushing an agenda now that makes vape products look like they're pushing it directly to kids which i don't think that's true and accurate, but this study is done called rethinking nicotine and its effects by raymond niyura ph.d. director of science and training at the national institute for tobacco research and policy so it's at the truth initiative, truth.org. and he says through this study, most of the psychological harm attributed to cigarette smoking derivatives are drives from the toxicants and tobacco in combustion products.

preventible morbidity and more mortallity has been related to combustible products not nicotine itself. nicotine is really no -- >> clerk: thank you. next speaker. >> supervisor walton: and i want to remind everyone in the overflow room now will be the time that you want to come over for public comment so if we have anyone in the overflow room that wants to come over for public comment, now would be the time to come over. >> hi. my name is tanner wakefield? the tobacco -- generally --

jool has had the opportunity to submit for f.d.a. approval for three years but it didn't, so why should public health be punished for its negligence? these aren't a harm reduction product. far more youth are being addicted to nicotine than switching from cigarettes. kids have initiated e-cigarette use in droves because it appears safer, and it appears with less risk. as a result, more people are putting themselves at risk with nicotine addiction. my grandpa, when he used cigarettes at 14, he continues to use nicotine at 89. should we abandon kids to a lifelong addiction at the hands of predatory companies?

so i urge you to ban this. thank you. >> my name is tony. i just wanted to say i grew up at a time when we didn't have access to things like vaporizers to nicotine. i lost people to cigarettes because they didn't have the ability to things like that. nicotine helped us wipe out the plague when we didn't have antibiotics in the 16th century. it was a brutal thing then as in the 80's and 90's and we were still not having access to thipgs like the internet and jool pods. any way the point is those are things that have saved lives, and that's why they exist, and that's why they need to be accessible to people. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: all

right. are there any other members of the public who would like to speak on this item before we close public comment? seeing none public comment is now closed. colleagues? i may say some things, so if you want to have the final word. >> supervisor walton: thank you so much chair mandelman. first, i definitely just want to thank everyone for coming out here today. i know it's friday morning -- we started an hour into friday afternoon. i also want to thank the following organizations and people who have been instrumental in this work and this is not a definitive list, but the san francisco youth commission, san francisco marin medical society, san francisco tobacco free project, american heart association, parents against vaping e-cigarettes, the department of public health the center for disease control, henny kelly, and of course the coauthor of

ordinance, city attorney dennis herrera in his continuing fight to help young people. i just want to touch on some conversations with merchants because definitely not an attack on our small businesses, but it is an attack on harmful products. i have being a liquor and lottery grocer a smoke shop, a tobacco vendor does not give you the right to sell 100% harmful products. there are so many businesses working hard to provide healthy products and goods to our communities. we will work to help small businesses succeed but i will

not put profits over the health of our youth. i want to thank you all again for coming out, and i hope that we can all be supportive of this ordinance so we can really work to keep harmful products like vape away from young people and away from general public and general as nicotine kills. thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you supervisor walton. i just -- unless supervisor stefani has anything you want to say? not yet. you're percolating. all right. i'll say a few things. i've had a few concerns about this proposal. i actually heard all of them addressed and this is one of the reasons we have these hearings elected officials.

early on we heard from someone on the issue of harm reduction and whether -- whether e-cigarettes are a form of harm reduction, we should be thinking about them in that way. i have wrestled, you know as the author of legislation furthering our movement toward legalization of cannabis in the city and allowing temporary permits for cannabis events. also have wrestled with the question whether prohibition is the right approach with any kind of drugs. and then i've had concerns about impacts on small businesses. i did hear i thought compelling responses to each of those concerns today. we heard pretty unequivocally from the public health experts who have been working on cigarettes and tobacco for a long long time that they do

not view e-cigarettes as harm reduction. and although there are people who are speculating that maybe that is what it is i'm not hearing that from the medical community which is a community that i trust on -- on that question. so that was compelling for me. the question of prohibition is in some ways harder and as we think about how to deal with new technology is something to grapple with, but this is something that the f.d.a. needs to do to determine whether and how danger a product this is. it's more to educate a public that may not believe that e.

cigarettes are harmful and a strategy for dealing with a new product. and we're hearing loud and clear from the tobacco control experts that this is a really dangerous product. the last issue that is still kind of with me and i'm glad for your remarks just a moment ago is that time and again we regulate and small business pays the price. and many of these corner stores whatever else they're selling, they are linchpin important entities in their community. they are selling products that we would rather people not purchase, but they're selling things that people need and food and they're often eyes on the streets, and they're often holding down some of the most dangerous corners in the city. so i would hope that in the

next 1.5 weeks -- i think we're going to forward this with a full positive recommendation, but i hope there can be some conversation between you and supervisor fewer, and we will have more to offer this community by the time we approve this than thoughts and prayers but actually a program and a plan and a way to move forward with some tangible support for our struggling small businesses so i'm hoping that will come to us so for the moment, i'm comfortable voting forward this. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you. you said just about everything i want to say. i want to echo the statements of supervisor mandelman. with regards to e-cigarettes being harm reduction. we know the f.d.a. is taking a look at this and knowing that

supervisor fewer will be working with supervisor walton on the impacts to small business is something that i care about. but i just want to acknowledge the mom from district 2 that came up. i'm a mom, too and i know everything that you're feeling, everything that's being talked about in the parent community and our schools, and it is a concern. i just want you to know that you have been heard and i think that a lot of parents have raised these same concerns so just thank you to everyone who came out, and with that i will hand it back over. >> supervisor mandelman: supervisor walton, i would likewould you like to make a motion to forward this to the full board

with a positive recommendation? >> supervisor walton: i would like to make a motion to move this to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> supervisor mandelman: and then, i would like to rescind item 4. there was some back and forth but it was pointed out by our counsel that the 27th is the day after the last budget conversation that could go very very late. i believe there is going to be a psns hearing on the 27th probably regardless, but we may not want to have that item on. we'll have the opportunity to work with president yee whether to have it on the 27th or at a later date. so i will vote to have us resint and then continue that -- rescind and then continue that item to the call of the chair. so i will make a motion to rescind item 4, and we can take that without objection. and then, i will make a motion to continue item 4 to the call of the chair, and we can take

that without objection. and mr. clerk, do we have any further business? >> clerk: there is no further businessman business. >> supervisor mandelman: okay. well then, fantastic. we are adjourned. thank you.

>> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do their business in the 49 square files of san francisco. we help san francisco remain unique, successful and right vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49? >> i'm one of three owners here in san francisco and we provide mostly live music entertainment

training he opened his own bakery and is now the no. 1 producer of gourmet cookies in the biarea and thank you for joining us on quick bites. how do you feel? >> i feel great. >> so i want to get to the bottom of some very burning questions. why cookies? >> it was a recommendation from a friend. hard to believe that's how it all started. >> why not pies and cakes? what do you have against pies and cakes, anthony. >> i have nothing against pies and cakes. however, that was the recommendation. >> you were on the road to be an account apblt. >> actually, an engineer. >> even better. and it led to making cookies. >> in delicious ways.

>> delicious ways. >> this is where the magic goes down and we're going to be getting to the truth behind cookies and cream. >> this is what is behind cookies and cream. >> where were you when the idea came to your mind. >> i was in my apartment eating ice cream, cookies and cream ice cream. how much fun, cookies and cream cookies. their cookies and cream is not even -- it took a lot of time a lot of fun. >> a lot of butter. >> a lot, a lot, a lot. but

it was one of those things. all right, now behold. you know what that is? >> what is that? >> cookies and cream. >> oh, they are beautiful. >> yes, so we got to get --. >> all right, all right. we treat the cookies like wine tasting. i don't ever want anybody to bite into a cookie and not get what they want to get. we're training staff because they can look at the cookie and tell if it's wrong. >> oh, here we go. >> you smell it and then you taste it, clean the plat palate with the milk. >> i could be a professional painter because i know how to do this. >> i can tell that it's a

>> system development and things like that. >> sounds so technical. >> i'm an engineer. >> that's right, that's right. cookies are so good, drove all other thoughts out of my head. thank you for taking time out it talk to us about what you do and the love with which you do it. we appreciate your time here on quick bites. i hope you've enjoyed our delicious tale of defendant 93 and dessert. as for me, my search is over. those reviews did not lie. in fact i'm thinking of one of my very own. some things you just have it experience for yourself. to learn more about anthony's cookies, visit him on the web

at anthoniescookies.com. if you want to watch some of our other episodes at sfquickbites/tumbler.com. see >> good morning and thank you for being here. today has been a long time coming and it is certainly a cause for celebration. i'm glad to see so much support for our animals. we are joined today by some of our adoption partners, including sonoma reptile rescue, wonder dog, mutts ville, pause, as well as our largest partner, the san francisco spca. [applause] >> it takes a village to care

for the 10,000 animals we taken every year, so we all worked closely together to save as many as we can, also joining us are our coworkers from across the city who help the shelter function. we are animal experts, so we are very dependent on our counterparts at city hall who keep us on the straight and narrow and pitch in from everything from accounting, to human resources to legal advice , building management, everything else that keeps the shelter afloat. nearly all of the walks and cuddles our animals receive every day come courtesy of our volunteers, who last year, devoted 27,000 hours of time to our shelter. [cheers and applause] >> we couldn't survive without them. we also have a very special group of volunteers, the board

of friends of acc works tirelessly to develop partnerships between the shelters the community, the business community, and helps raise funds to help support our efforts. last but not least there is the a.c.c. staff, you every day take in stray pets, injured wildlife abused animals and heal them as best they can. [applause] >> in addition to animals our team helps many people in the city often on the saddest days of their lives as they look for a lost pet or grieve for a companion who has just died. today, we are breaking ground on a new home for all of the city's animals and the people who love them. we will no longer have a building that works against

quality care. each animal will have some place to stretch. we will have forever outdoor play stations which means that bunnies will no longer have to share with the dogs. [laughter]. >> which is no fun for anyone, especially the bunnies. we will have ventilation systems that help fight the spread of disease, we will have isolation rooms so we no longer have to house nervous birds with sick cats. as we approach the department's 40 it -- 30th anniversary, we can anticipate moving into a shelter worthy of the city of st. francis. the building would not have big -- become a reality without the efforts of many, including the board of supervisors, city administrator naomi kelly, the architects engineers, and project managers at the department of public works who probably redesigned this building three times sfmta who

agreed to trade buildings with us and first and foremost, our mayor, please welcome, maryland and breed -- please welcome mayor london breed. [applause]. >> thank you virginia, and thank you all for being here. believe it or not, i owned a lot of cats a long time ago. kitty one, kitty two kitty three, kitty four, kitty five, and jojo. it is something special about animals, and this is why we are all here today. we definitely get really attached to our pets, and honestly i cry when my grandmother -- i cried when my grandmother wouldn't take -- wouldn't let me take kitty five to college. i think about our shared experiences of how animals make us feel the love, the comfort the excitement, and especially when you teach them new tricks but we also know there are a

number of challenges in our city sometimes, if an owner passes away they have a pet and there is no place for that pet to go. sometimes when we see animals that are stray and out on our streets, and they are injured, we have to make sure that they have a place to go, and animal care and control has been that place for over 30 years here in the city and county of san francisco, and in fact, because of the work and the support and the fundraising from the friends of the animal care and control the ability to have so many incredible volunteers, and additional resources is why people care about making sure that we have a better facility so that we can accommodate so many animals, so many requests and do what we know we can do better and that is take care of animals here in san francisco when they can't take care of

themselves. [applause] >> part of building a resilient city is making sure that our assets are seismically safe, and we know that the current building at 15th and harrison is efficient. it is cramped and it may not survive the next earthquake, and we know it is not a matter of if there will be an earthquake in san francisco it is a matter of when. when you look all around the country at the number of disasters that occur and how pets have been separated from owners and what happens during that time, it is important that we are not concerned about the structure, that we are able to do the work, that people know that there animal, if found will be brought to animal care and control because we will have a seismically sound facility so the employees, the amazing staff of animal care and control can focus on doing their

job and not necessarily on whether or not the rueful cave in. that is what this is about, and i want to thank everyone for being here today but i also want to think the person who spearheaded this entire project and was really aggressive on the board of supervisors with ensuring that we invested the dollars necessary to get this project done sooner rather than later. supervisor, former supervisor katy tang. [cheers and applause] >> who went on -- during her time on the board of supervisors she would always, especially during the holidays bring in a lot of cats, and i would go in there and be tempted to adopt and then i would think okay, i have to be able to feed the cat every day, can i feed the cat every day but helps with adoption, helps with

advocacy for animals in san francisco, and thank you for your really steadfast commitment on supporting this project and now in two and a half years when you come back to cut the ribbon, you will see the fruits of your labor with all of the incredible people here today. thank you supervisor tang. and thank you to naomi kelly -- kelly, thank you to mohammed knew rue, and all the people who have played a critical role in making this project happen, but a special thanks to the community, to the volunteers who have spent over 30,000 hours taking care of over 10,000 animals year after year after year and the friends who continue to raise money and raise awareness for this amazing project. this will be an absolute incredible facility, and i just wanted to acknowledge our new fire chief, janine nicholson thank you so much for being here as well. [applause]

>> please know that we are increasing the capacities of the fire marshal does not have to shut down the new space. we will have plenty of room and places for people to be. thank you everyone for being here today and your support for this amazing project. [applause] >> i almost forgot, also i forgot to thank the leader of animal care and control thank you so much, virginia, for your hard work and your commitment. [cheers and applause] >> and your steadfast leadership [applause]. >> and at this time, i want to bring forth our city administrator naomi kelly. [applause]. >> good morning. our mayor and director of a.c.c. , virginia don who basically said it all. this project is so important. it was one of the first projects i worked on when i became city

administrator in 2012. i instantly realized when i went on a right along with one of the animal care control officers that a.c.c., the staff, the volunteers they are all of the unsung heroes of the city. is the mayor mentioned, as virginia mentioned, animal care and control is truly first responders when it comes to getting animals off the streets, and then they have communicable -- communicable diseases, you don't hear about these diseases going from pets to humans, because they do great work. when there is an emergency they're the ones making sure folks are evacuating in a safe way, especially if you have many people who are pet lovers, and they don't want to leave without their pets. they have emergency plans around that. when their incidents with police and fire, and their people and buildings you don't want to leave because animals are there or they are -- that are homeless encampments, and folks want to leave without their animals. animal care and control is there as the mayor mentioned they are moving from just down the street , so they will still be in

proximity with other animal agencies and they're moving right here to build a building that is seismically safe. this is important to our capital plan because we are looking at all of our seismic safety of all of the building and as a reminder, the capital plan is a fiscally constrained document that looks at all of our infrastructure in a way that we prioritize what is seismically safe what is sustainable, what will help with our city to make it vibrant and resilient. i want to thank as the mayor did katy tang, and your leadership on this. public works director, virginia donohue, and ed risk in from the sfmta. i also want to give a special thanks to our friends at a.c.c. who are doing so much and making sure we raise funds for behavior and training, foster program support, medical emergency fund,

rabies and microchip supplies, marketing and outreach, food supplies, rescue partner grants, senior cat baby cat supplements , and much more, and also the furniture fixtures and equipment center going into this building. i want to thank the board treasurer volunteer dianne davis and christopher davis a board member christina -- christina kizer, and dr. sue wong. your generosity extends past the groundbreaking in this official opening. with that, i would also -- one last thing, i need to give a special thank you to park construction. they are the contractors working with public works on this. and in phase one, they have awarded -- contracted 24 business enterprises in the amount of $12.5 million that is 33% of the contracting cost. [applause] >> of those who are working on

this project 149 workers are from san francisco so thank you with that, i would like to introduce the former supervisor animal care and control champion katy tang. [applause] >> good morning, everyone. as i was telling some people here today the only thing that will take me out of retirement from attending press conferences is something to do with animals. i am so excited to be here and explain a little bit about how i got involved with animal care and control, and really wanting to see this facility rebuilt. aside from the fact that i grew up with a mother who was a vegetarian at one point in our life my dad said, i want a dog and we were shocked that he all of a sudden in his life, in his early fifties or so wanted a dog and so we went to animal care and control every weekend

for four months straight to search for the perfect dog for him. in that process, i saw the facility first-hand at a.c.c., and it was heartbreaking to me and then of course, working in the city took additional tours and learned that there's not enough space for animals being quarantined when some of them have diseases or illnesses. i mean i saw that animals had to be strapped to some of the banisters as they are doing intake, the elevator, i mean, don't even talk about that. just the conditions that the employees had to work in where animals need to get x-rays as well and there was improper shielding of the radiation in those rooms, so it is not just about the animals, but all the people who work at animal care and control and those conditions i think the conditions are really sad, and i'm so excited that we are standing here today to hopefully and a very short amount of time, you will have a new building. but also the other thing even to this day, a lot of people

when i talk to them, they actually don't know that we, as a city, have an animal shelter. they are familiar with the different organizations and nonprofits that help with animals, but a lot of them -- you all know because you were all here, many of you don't know i think it is really important that in a city where we have an estimated more dogs and cats and other animals than we do children, that we really do have a world-class facility for them and their families. lastly, i will say that a.c.c. and the staff there you do all that work, and you take in the animals that other organizations , or whatnot might not be able to take in. you take exotic animals, you take the wild strays, you also, yourself have to handle those that get killed on our streets so you handle so much and you are really deserving of a world-class facility. i'm excited to be here today and thank you to every single person and department that made this happen. i'm looking forward to the ribbon-cutting. [applause]

>> and of course, i have to introduce the next person who doesn't really need introduction mohammed nuru. [applause]. >> thank you. it is always great to see you. i hope you are enjoying your life outside of city hall. i know that is how important this project is to you and i'm so glad you're able to be here with us today. good morning, everyone. i serve as your public works director and just like everyone else i'm very happy to be here today, even with the wet weather , seeing how many people are out here shows as how important this project is to so many people and of course, the animals. today is an exciting day for our city, and an exciting day for san francisco animal care and control. we are celebrating the start of unique project and it brings me

great pleasure and joy that public works will be overseeing the design and construction of the project. it is not every day in san francisco that a modern structure more then a century ago. that is what is happening right here. the new animal care and control facility. the new shelter will be built with the original brick warehouse behind me, the building was constructed in 1893 and served as the original market street railway corporation. it is eligible for listings on the state national registry and historic basins. it served as a maintenance facility for the sfmta overhead lines. the reuse of the building will be an elegant nod to the city's pass that serves the needs of the 21st century san francisco that historic brick face and

wooden frame windows will remain intact while the interior will be transformed into a state-of-the-art multilevel facility billed to serve the needs of san francisco for many years to come. as mayor breeden said, we must think about the future of san francisco today and there's no better way to do so by investing in capital improvements to our infrastructure. public works is proud to be working with clark construction and the many people who will be working on the projects. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you everybody. we are going to do the ceremonial gravel shovel thing, and then we are done. there is tons of delicious food that clark brought that is right outside, food and drinks, and we

hope you all stay around for a bit and enjoy each other. >> five, four, three, two, one!
