when we access fundamental documents belonging to others in order to access whatever it is we want, be it employment -- employment, goods, services, or access to other resources. this is neither healthy or lawful conduct. it is in measurement, it is dysfunctional, it is socially disruptive. it also contravenes international law. i can't embrace your politics of transgression of illegal immigration or of men dressed as women, following women and girls and two bathrooms as transgender , what have you. or state laws that outlaw employers to have cooperation with federal investigators, particularly when -- >> thank you. seeing no other speakers, public comment is now closed. i guess there is one more

speaker. go ahead. do you need help, sir? >> can you show the document that i have on the laptop there? basically i just want you to take a peek at this. this just came out by jeff kaczynski and his group. basically what it is saying is that the people that go into the navigation center, they are only going to house 5%, so just

consider that. 95% of the people who go to the navigation center are not going to get housed. the limited stay, let me see, the end of stay, 30 1% choose to exit by choice. forty-one%, are the navigations really that bad where 41% of the people who actually go there would actually leave? that is what jeff kaczynski's numbers imply. san francisco administrative code 106 says that the controller is supposed to provide reports involving the navigation centers and i don't have any to date. also consider the denial of service. 10% -- the navigation centers

that were built, they were viable, not the best, but somewhat viable. what jeff kaczynski is doing is illegal. look at the seven day stay. seven day stay, that is a violation of the shelter extension policy. we need some legislation from this body to protect the homeless from the manipulation of the wordage that jeff kaczynski uses to violate the law and the san francisco policy that we fought for for the past ten or 20 years. >> thank you very much. seeing no other speakers, public comment is closed. madame clerk, please go back to item 26. >> item 26, the renewal and expansion of the union square business improvement district. the ballot count is in. the result, the returned wait of

valid -- ballot voting for the district was 84.8 7% and the return waited balance voting against it was 15.1 3% further indicating there was no majority protest. >> okay. there is no majority approach as -- protest. without objection can we take a vote on item 26, the resolution to establish, renew, and expand the union square business improvement district? okay. i think, can we take this same house, same call? without objection, the resolution passes unanimously. madame clerk, let's go to our adoption without committee agenda, number 31 through 37. >> items 31 through 37 were

introduced for adoption without reference to committee, unanimous vote is required for resolutions on first reading today. alternatively, any supervisor may require a resolution to go to committee. >> would any of my colleagues like to sever any items? seeing then -- colleagues -- >> well! >> you have to be quick. [laughter]. >> supervisor peskin? >> since everyone is leaving, congratulations. 85% is extraordinary. [cheers and applause] >> i would like to sever items 31, 33, and 37, mr. president. >> madame clerk, let's take items 32, 33, 34, 35, 36, colleagues, can we take these items same house, same call? without objection, then these resolutions are adopted and the motions are approved unanimously madame clerk, please call item 31. >> thirty-one is a resolution to

oppose california state assembly bill number 68 authored by some remember philip tang unless amended to provide jurisdictional deference to the city and county of san francisco and other early adopters of permissive accessory dwelling unit regulations. >> supervisor peskin? >> thank you. colleagues, this is the second time that this has appeared on our agenda. i absolutely salute and concur with our assembly member's desire to spread accessory dwelling units throughout the state of california, however, there are two profound concepts that are important for the city and county of san francisco. first is since the advent of a.d.u.s in this municipality is that the vast majority of them are subject to regulatory agreements pursuant to the costa hawkins act that allows them to be subject to a rent stabilization ordinance, chaptee

code and i would like to make sure that anything that is done statewide continues to honor that in the city and county of san francisco as well as other municipalities that have rent-controlled regulations. in addition, there are provisions as it is currently written that could undermine san francisco's eviction protection controls. our staff have been in close communication. i am hopeful that, how should i say this appropriately, given the unfortunate dynamics in the california state legislature, even though we have a majority of democrats in both the assembly and the senate, rent control and eviction protection continues to be a bad word up there. i am hopeful that the assembly member can incorporate and get

his colleagues to agree to some amendments that will honor our long-standing eviction and rent control regulatory regimen in san francisco. with that, i would like to continue this one week. i don't take this lightly, i don't like to oppose something that is offered by one of our assembly delegation members, so i would like to make a motion to canoe -- continue item 31 for one week. >> there has been a motion to continue this item 31 for one week and seconded by supervisor safai. can we take this motion without objection? >> mr. president, for the record , that is july 16th. >> thank you. then, same house, same call. motion passes. madame clerk, item 33. >> thirty-three is a resolution to urge the department of real estate to pursue a financially feasible option to lease or

purchase assessor parcel blocks 0300 lot zero zero nine at 888 post street for the use of a navigation center or workforce development and multiuse service center serving homeless and our phone -- formerly homeless individuals. supervisor peskin? >> the comment i am about to make is out of order but i wanted to acknowledge that supervisor haney as a cosponsor of item 26. i try to put my name on the roster but that ate and came and went and it was totally out of order. as to item 33, which is a resolution urging the city and our department of real estate to pursue an option to purchase or lease property at 888 post street, commonly formerly known as the house of fans, i commended to all the view, i want to -- what is that? and a supervisor fewer says that she bought a fan from there, and

so did i. so by way of background, as i said in the chronicle the other day, hopefully the fourth time is a charm. one mare breed and i did the groundbreaking at 88 broadway today, which i proposed as a temporary navigation center, a number of years ago when ed lee was mayor after supervisor ronen was able to secure 1515 south van ness for a period of less than one year, that was my first attempt. my second attempt, actually that was my second attempt. my first attempt was our lady of waterloo bay church. this is my fourth attempt. i just want to say, the neighbors and neighborhoods of district three are remarkably cool. thank you to miss michael's, a.k.a. the pizza lady who is still here. to the folks from the lower pole neighbors and the lower polled c.b.d. this is a neighborhood that is an pricing -- embracing it. i'm tired that hearing

persevering that it does not pencil. it penciled in supervisor ronen 's district and dang it, we all want to be part of the solution and this supervisor is trying to be part of the solution, so i asked for all of your support and we all saw the numbers. since 2017, i don't know why it take so long to get a point in time count back to the board and the electorate and our neighbors , but it says that the numbers have gone up 30% although i am informed by supervisor ronen that district nine and district three fared better then the rest of the city , or at least they did at that one point in time. i think my totally cool constituents for supporting a navigation center in the northeast county of the city and county of san francisco.

>> thank you for your leadership and this and putting it forward as you're calling to the south. i support this. also a somebody who lives three blocks from the site, just down the street, it is right across the street from district six. i want to thank all of the residents who came out here, and supervisor peskin for your leadership on this there is a myth out there that people don't want to see navigation centers, do not want to see shelters, do not want to see services in the district. i do understand we have shared responsibility in addressing this challenge. i want to thank you for your leadership. and whatever i can do support you on this and whatever i can do to support any of you who are also fighting to make sure you have the needed urgent services for our homeless population in

your district, i know that there will continue to be a lot in district six and we are good with that but we also want to support additional supervisors in districts who want to expand services as well. i hope that the city takes you up on this opportunity. i do think this will pencil and i hope to see a navigation center right up the street from me very soon. >> supervisor ronen? >> i just want to echo and say that i have bared witness to supervisor peskin's very frustrating attempts to get a navigation center in its district. when i tried to get venice in my district, i was also told know and i was also told it doesn't pencil and i said i disagree. it is time to push. there are too many people that are sleeping and dying on the streets on district nine and we have to do something about it and it worked. we were able to get from 260

tenths of probably double the amount of people living on the streets of the mission district all the way down to 30 tenths at one point. that was the best we did. we ebbed and flowed between that and as supervisor peskin mentioned, it was a district three and nine there were the only two districts who had a decrease in unsheltered people in the district in this point in time count. so why the -- while the cities skyrocketed up, we went down. that was because neighborhood -based commitment to a real solution to homelessness, which is to provide an alternative place for people to be and to allow them to stay there long enough to be able to resolve the situation that they were facing. that is something that i feel frustrated about our citywide strategy. not only do we not have enough navigation centers all over the city and i do commend the mayor for trying to fix that, increase the navigation center beds, but

the stays in the center are so short that they cycle in and out of that. that is not the way we did it in the mission. the way begot lasting change is people were allowed to stay in the navigation center until they resolved their situation. that is where we got the lasting effects. i too just want to offer my support to supervisor peskin and say i am behind you all the way and agree with supervisor haney. any colleague who fights and demands resources for homeless people in their district, i have your back 100%. i always well. sometimes we have to push hard, even when the department of homelessness says no. >> thank you. let's see. colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call? then this resolution is adopted unanimously. please call item number 37.

>> thirty-seven, motion to approve a phased final transfer map, portions of treasure island , a 98 lot subdivision and acknowledge the findings pursuant to the general plan. >> supervisor peskin? >> thank you. i had some technical questions on this and i actually asked that this city surveyor be here and he could not so i talked to miss kittler, the liaison from the mayor's office and he can attend our next meeting. i am respectfully requesting and making a motion for a one-week continuance. >> is there a second? seconded by supervisor fewer. this is to the date of july 16 th. >> okay. can we take this same house, same call? with no objection, then we will

continue this item. madame clerk, we have an imperative item. >> yes, we have, from supervisor peskin. a resolution supporting assembly bill 1054, only if amended, to remove language unrelated to the goal of stabilizing state utilities that would effectively undermine san francisco's ongoing efforts to access and acquire pg and e. assets and to have utility service to its residents. >> colleagues. would you like to say something? >> i would like to make a motion relative to the centering ordinance, the need to take action is so important -- imperative. if action is deferred to a later meeting, i would like to further make the brown act findings as to the need to take immediate action and the action came to the attention of the city and county of san francisco after the agenda was posted. i would also like to tell my colleagues that i promise that at the next several board

meetings, i will not speak as much. >> there has been a motion. is there a second for both of these? supervisor mandelman, can we take those two motions together? is there any objections to those motions? seeing none, the motion passes. now on the substance of the imperative resolution itself. >> mr. president, public comment on the resolution. >> is there any public comment on this particular imperative agenda? seeing none, public comment is closed. then -- and now for the substance of the imperative resolution itself, a roll call vote, please. [roll call]

>> can you repeat the motion, please? >> this is on the imperative item, supervisor. >> there are ten aye. >> the resolution is adopted. madame clerk, please read the in memoriam his. >> yes. today's meeting will be adjourned memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor walton, for the late mr. caesar cornelius young, on behalf of supervisor peskin, for the late mr. neil mollock and for supervisor mandelman --

[speaking spanish]. >> that brings us to the end of our agenda. madame clerk, is there any further business before us today >> that concludes our business for today. >> then we are adjourned.

>> my son and i was living in my car. we was in and out of shelters in san francisco for almost about 3.5 years. i would take my son to school. we would use a public rest room just for him to brush his teeth and do a quick little wipe-off so it seemed he could take a

shower every day. it was a very stressful time that i wish for no one. my name is mario, and i have lived in san francisco for almost 42 years. born here in hayes valley. i applied for the san francisco affordable housing lottery three times. my son and i were having to have a great -- happened to have a great lottery number because of the neighborhood preference. i moved into my home in 2014. the neighborhood preference goal was what really allowed me to stay in san francisco. my favorite thing is the view. on a clear day, i'm able to see

city hall, and on a really clear day, i can see salesforce tower. we just have a wonderful neighborhood that we enjoy living in. being back in the neighborhood that i grew up in, it's a wonderful, wonderful experience. now, we can hopefully reach our goals, not only single mothers, but single fathers, as well, who are living that. live your dream, live your life, >> third thursdays at the commons is a monthly event series to really activate krisk

centkrisk -- civic center, fulton mall, and other locations through social operation. >> in 2016, an initiative called the civic center progress initiative was launched, it was launched by a bunch of city agencies and community partners, so they really had to figure out how to program these places on a more frequent basis. i'm with the civic center community benefit district, and i'm program manager for the civic center commons. also, third thursdays will have music. that was really important in the planning of these events. >> we wanted to have an artist that appeals to a wide range of tastes. >> i'm the venue manager. good

music, good music systems, and real bands with guitar players and drummers. >> we turned uc center and fulton street into a place where people want to be to meet, to laugh, and it's just an amazing place to be. there's a number of different exhibits. there's food, wine, cocktails, and the idea, again, is to give people an opportunity to enjoy what really is, you know, one of the great civic faces in america. when you look from the polk street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, daniel burns' design, this was meant to be this way. it's really special. >> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and

beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's really great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food, interesting music, and then, we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller skating rink. >> if you're a passion jail skeeball player like me, and you're deciding whether you're just going to roll the ball up the middle or take a bank shot. >> our goal is to come out and

have fun with their neighbors, but our goal is to really see in the comments that it's a place where people want to hold their own public event. >> i think this is a perfect example of all these people working together. everybody's kind of come together to provide this support and services that they can to activate this area. >> there's no one agency or organization that really can make this space come alive on its own, and it's really through the collective will, not just of the public sector, but both the public and our business partnerships, our nonprofits partnerships, you know, neighborhood activists. >> i really like it. it's, like, a great way to get people to find out about local things, cuisine, like, it's really

great. >> it's a really good environment, really welcoming. like, we're having a great time. >> we want to inspire other people to do this, just using a part of the plaza, and it's also a good way to introduce people if they're having a large scale event or small scale event, we'll direct you to the right people at the commons so you can get your event planned. >> being a san francisco based company, it was really important to connect and engage with san franciscans. >> how great is it to come out from city hall and enjoy great music, and be able to enjoy a comtail, maybe throw a bocci ball or skee ball. i find third thursdays to be really

reinrig rat reinriggating for me. >> whether you're in the city hall or financial district or anywhere, just come on down on third thursdays and enjoy the music, enjoy an adult beverage, enjoy the skee ball; enjoy an adult playground, if you [♪]

>> i am the supervisor of district one. i am sandra lee fewer. [♪] >> i moved to the richmond district in 1950 mine. i was two years old. i moved from chinatown and we were one of the first asian families to move out here. [♪] >> when my mother decided to buy that house, nobody knew where it was. it seems so far away. for a long time, we were the only chinese family there but we started to see the areas of growth to serve a larger chinese population. the stress was storage of the birthplace of that. my father would have to go to chinatown for dim sum and i remember one day he came home and said, there is one here now. it just started to grow very organically. it is the same thing with the

russian population, which is another very large ethnic group in the richmond district. as russia started to move in, we saw more russian stores. so parts of the richmond is very concentrated with the russian community and immigrant russian community, and also a chinese immigrant community. [♪] >> i think as living here in the richmond, we really appreciate the fact that we are surrounded three natural barriers. they are beautiful barriers. the presidio which gives us so many trails to walk through, ocean beach, for families to just go to the beach and be in the pacific ocean. we also also have a national park service. we boarded the golden gate national recreation area so there is a lot of activity to do in the summer time you see

people with bonfires. but really families enjoying the beach and the pacific ocean during the rest of the time of year. [♪] >> and golden gate park where we have so many of our treasures here. we have the tea garden, the museum and the academy of sciences. not to mention the wonderful playgrounds that we have here in richmond. this is why i say the richmond is a great place for families. the theatre is a treasure in our neighborhood. it has been around for a very long time. is one of our two neighborhood theatres that we have here. i moved here when i was 1959 when i was two years old. we would always go here. i love these neighborhood theatres. it is one of the places that has not only a landmark in the richmond district, but also in san francisco. small theatres showing one or two films.

a unique -- they are unique also to the neighborhood and san francisco. >> where we are today is the heart of the richmond district. with what is unique is that it is also small businesses. there is a different retail here it is mom and pop opening up businesses. and providing for the neighborhood. this is what we love about the streets. the cora door starts on clement street and goes all the way down to the end of clement where you will see small businesses even towards 32nd. at the core of it is right here between here and 20 -- tenth avenue. when we see this variety of stores offered here, it is very unique then of the -- any other part of san francisco. there is traditional irish music which you don't get hardly anywhere in san francisco.

some places have this long legacy of serving ice cream and being a hangout for families to have a sunday afternoon ice cream. and then also, we see grocery stores. and also these restaurants that are just new here, but also thriving. [♪] >> we are seeing restaurants being switched over by hand, new owners, but what we are seeing is a vibrancy of clement street still being recaptured within new businesses that are coming in. that is a really great thing to see. i don't know when i started to shop here, but it was probably a very, very long time ago. i like to cook a lot but i like to cook chinese food. the market is the place i like to come to once a year. once i like about the market as it is very affordable. it has fresh produce and fresh meat. also, seafood. but they also offer a large

selection of condiments and sauces and noodles. a variety of rice that they have is tremendous. i don't thank you can find a variety like that anywhere else. >> hi. i am kevin wong. i am the manager. in 1989 we move from chinatown to richmond district. we have opened for a bit, over 29 years. we carry products from thailand, japan, indonesia, vietnam, singapore and india. we try to keep everything fresh daily. so a customer can get the best out a bit. >> normally during crab season in november, this is the first place i hit. because they have really just really fresh crab. this is something my family really likes for me to make. also, from my traditional chinese food, i love to make a kale soup.

they cut it to the size they really want. i am probably here once a week. i'm very familiar with the aisles and they know everyone who is a cashier -- cashier here i know when people come into a market such as this, it looks like an asian supermarkets, which it is and sometimes it can be intimidating. we don't speak the language and many of the labels are in chinese, you may not know what to buy or if it is the proper ingredients for the recipe are trying to make. i do see a lot of people here with a recipe card or sometimes with a magazine and they are looking for specific items. the staff here is very helpful. i speak very little chinese here myself. thinks that i'm not sure about, i asked the clerk his and i say is this what i need? is this what i should be making? and they actually really helped me. they will bring me to the aisle and say this is battery. they are very knowledgeable. very friendly. i think they are here to serve not only the asian community but

to serve all communities in the richmond district and in san francisco. [♪] >> what is wonderful about living here is that even though our july is a very foggy and overcast, best neighborhood, the sleepy part outside on the west side is so rich with history, but also with all the amenities that are offered. [♪] in this san francisco office, there are about 1400 employees. and they're working in roughly 400,000 square feet. we were especially pleased that cleanpowersf offers the super green 100% clean energy, not

only for commercial entities like ours, but also for residents of the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services they offered and we're now encouraging our employees who have residence in san francisco to sign on as well. we didn't have any interruption of service or any problems with the switch over to cleanpowersf. this clean power opportunity reflects that. i would encourage any large business in san francisco to seriously consider converting and upgrading to the cleanpowersf service. it's good for the environment, it's good for business and it's good for the community.

>> clerk: good evening and welcome to the june 26, 2019 meeting of the san francisco board of appeals. president rick swig will be the presiding officer tonight. he is joined by commissioner ann lazarus, commissioner rachel tanner. at the controls is the board's legal assistant,
