>> as my office has spent months engaging with s.f. m.t.a. and the merchant community to address the deeply felt and deeply real concerns on how years of construction will impact their lives and of construction will this isn't limited to my district, of course. from the central subway to van ness, there are many small businesses impacted by construction, and they deserve answers on how we, at the city, are addressing those impacts. i'm very much looking forward to this hearing, and i'm asking the b.l.a., s.f. m.t.a., and b.c. t., to report. and i want to thank president chi and the supervisor. >> thank you, supervisor marr. supervisor peskin? >> thank you.

i'd like to adjourn today today's board meeting by geraldine mary crowdley, who was a one woman army for the neighbourhoods of the northeast corner of the city, but the city at large. she passed away early this morning in the style that she should pass away, listening to frank sinatra and watching monday night football last night. many of you knew here. her. she originally hailed from chappaque, new york, and moved here at the age of 25. she would have turned 85 this friday, the 13th, which she thought was very lucky. a third of a century ago, she actually saw somebody on tv from the telegraph "hill dwellers," and

decided to join that organization, which she ended up serving as president four times, and cajoled me not only into joining, and later on cajoled me into running -- her and tom -- cajoled me against my will to run for supervisor almost 20 years ago. she would come and pick me up at 6:30 in the morning and drive me to bus stops and all of the rest of it. her deep, dark secret was that she actually, many, many years ago, served on the republican county's central committee of california, which i've now outed her on, but she made up for that by running for the democratic county commission here in san francisco in 2004 and 2006, winning both times, and serving as one of its vice chairs. she was pretty much active in anything you can imagine, ranging from the harvey milk club to the

san francisco women's political committee, the national women's political caucus, the chinese-american democratic club, and was accepted and beloved by all of them. she was awarded repeatedly the elinor roosevelt award of the year, certificates of honour, and the lifetime achievement award for community activism, and on the occasion of her 75th birthday 10 years ago, the board of supervisor designated september 13th as jerry crowdley day in san francisco. i want to thank everyone who took care of her, particularly jerry francone and kevin sessons, and the coach, who sent her volunteers, and the celebration of her life will follow at the italian athletic club,

where frank sinatra's "my way" will be played repeatedly. condolences to the entire community, but especially to her granddaughters, angela and caroline, and their mother, maretta, and the rest of her family. the rest i will submit. >> supervisor ronan. >> thank you, everyone. i have three items. the first item relates to an issue that we talked about last week. i introduced a hearing request on information related to the decision of the department of public health to close down the residential -- the adult residential facility beds at -- on the general hospital campus. today i'm introducing an ord nanordinance, and i wanted o thank supervisors haney, walton, peskin, and marr,

for co-responding, that will require d.p.h. to operate 55 adult facility beds immediately, and to -- and it also requires the department of human resources to provide staff to urgently hire the staff that is necessary to operate those beds. i want to talk a little bit about this situation because i'm not sure that everyone understands the implications of what has happened based on d.p.h.'s decision to hold many of these beds empty and then shut 44 of these beds over the last year. first of all, they did this in secrecy. had i known about this a year ago, i would have put forward this legislation a year ago. but despite the countless conversations that we've had with d.p.h., the public hearings and the budget conversations, on the issue of mental health, during the entire

conservatorship, they have never mentioned this extremely important fact in that conversation. i really think that that is problematic. we found out about it because an employee of the arf and of the department of public health, basically whistle-blew on the department and informed us on what was happening, and because she was so upset about it, started organizing her peers to fight back. i want to make clear that this is not about any sort of personal bad feelings or relationship with anybody. not any of my colleagues, not the mayor's office. this is about the impact for people based on this decision. by closing these 44 beds a year ago, and the stated reason being that they didn't have enough staff to staff these beds, and because there was a complaint by the department -- by the state licensing agency about some of the employees that

were working at the a.r.f., this has meant people sit every day at a jail that is not fit for anybody to be there, let alone people that are so mentally ill they had to be conserved. there are 10 people, at least one of which has been there over nine months, who is waiting for a bed in a locked facility at general hospital so she can get the medical care that she needs for her illness. the reason she can't get into a bed at general hospital, a locked bed at general, is because there are several people there waiting to get into an adult residential facility bed because they no longer need to be treated in a locked facility. but because those beds aren't available, they've been sitting there for huge lengths of time. those beds are the most expensive beds in our city, and their civil liberties are being violated. they're in a locked

facility, where they don't need to be. this impact that this decision is having on real people's lives is horrific, quite frankly. and possibly illegal. i don't understand how people who are so mentally ill are sitting in a jail when there are no pending criminal charges against them. there are constitutional protections against this. so i don't understand how this is happening on a daily basis and san francisco. then we have the people that you and i see in the streets every single day. these are people that our constituents call us about, that are screaming at phantoms that they can see, but we can't. on people that are so dirty and so sick that our heartbreaks, and we cannot believe that we're letting them down. those people are being kept from these 44 beds, that would take, let me tell you, 12 staffers to staff. so basically d.p.h. is saying in a year's time, we have not been able to

hire 12 people to staff these beds accurately, even though we submitted our corrective action plan to the state a year ago, almost a year ago, on october 15, 2018, and we trained all of our staff to make sure that the mistakes made in the past were remedy to make sure that they no longer have dementia patients in that facility that is not appropriate for dementia patients, but is actually meant for people with mental illnesses. that they've not been able to hire 12 people to keep these critical beds open. when i first learned about this from the whistle-blower, i did the immediate thing that i'm sure all of my colleagues would do. i called dr. kofax, i call kelly, i called andrews powers from the mayor's office, to ask why you are guys doing this? what is happening here. i played phone tag with andrews and dr. kofax for

days. i got in touch with kelly, who oversees the flow of all of those beds. i said, kelly, how can you possibly be making this decision given the crisis on the streets? and she told me, because we don't have enough staffing for it. and i said, what have you done, what has d.p.h. done to hire 12 staffers for emergency? have you said that this is an urgent crisis that needs to be handled? have you come to anyone at the board of supervisors asking for help? have you done any targeted outreach to this community to make sure people are ap plielapplying to these jobs. the answer was no, no, no, no, no, we've done nothing but or normal process to hire the 12 staffers that are needed to open these beds to get people out of locked units and out of jail, who don't need and don't deserve to be there.

i think this is a der dereliction of duty. i think it is incredibly problematic, and i think is incumbent upon us as elected representatives, who's job it is to oversee these departments, to demand change. and that's why today, along with four of my colleagues, who i really appreciate for stepping up to the plate on this, are introducing a resolution that will demand this immediate action, and that will back it up with help to conduct the hiring process and the compliance with its own corrective action plan, which is a year old, to make that happen. and i'm really hoping that you all -- the rest of my colleagues see the urgency of this, and see how important it is, see that the vast majority of people that locked up -- by the way, who are primarily african-americans, that they are let out of jail

and let out of locked units where they don't deserve and don't need to be. it is an urgent thing that we do. and i hope we can move this as quickly as possible. the other two items that i have, i want to thank every single one of my colleagues for signing on to. i'm very excited and proud to say that together, unanimously, we are introducing a resolution supporting our next step towards breaking our ties to pg&e, and achieving our long time goal of clean public power. for more than a year i have been holding hearings and demanding reports to push pg&e to push them to be accountable for explosions and shutdowns, and to get them to stop inventing requirements that cause outrageous delays to public renovation and construction projects around this city. meanwhile, they in a financial and operational tail spin as they struggle to reorganize and resettle claims for their wildfire liability.

the bankruptcy exit plan filed yesterday, capping pg&e payments to victims is woefully inadequate, and makes it evident they want to help hedge funds than to costumers. now we have an opportunity to turn this situation around. what the city has delivered to pg&e is an indication of interest, a formal offer to acquire their electrical distribution and transmission assets. what comes next would be additional research and analysis and negotiations. there are many specifics still yet to be resolved, including a very detailed and specific plan to protect current pg&e employees, and a roadmap for future systems repair and upgrades. what is abundantly clear is that by having our electricity delivered by our own public utility, san francisco has a potential to bring cost savings to our community, to invest in green jobs

and infrastructure, and to modernize our alleging grid, and to be 100% carbon neutral by 2030. san franciscans are sick of being held hostage to pg&e. by overwhelming passing proposition "a," they organized bonds to pay for the public utility structure we so desperately need. let's let the board of supervisors unanimously join with the mayor, who is joining with the city attorney, who is joining with commissioners of the p.u.c. and the staff of the p.u.c., to send a very strong signal to pg&e that we are united and committed to once and for all creating a clean, green public power utility in san francisco. and then finally, today i'm introducing a resolution in support of the "free our children" coalition.

it is organizing a series of acts next monday, to raise awareness to the abuse taking place at the children detention camps. 30 years ago, in 1989, the city and county of san francisco approved its landmark sanctuary city ordinance to express our city's support for defending the human rights of all immigrant families and any individual who calls san francisco their home. this year as we celebrate this important anniversary, we are reminded how important it is that we as a city confirm our commitment to the well-being of our immigrant communities, in light of the hostility our federal government is waging to everyone. we have seen the inexcusable conditions at immigration is centers that are paid for by our own government.

they subject them to brutal environments that have been condemned by the united nations high commissioner of human rights and other human rights organizations. on monday, september 16th, which happens to be mexican independence day, probably not a coincidence, a coalition of community members from san francisco and throughout the bay area, will be organizing a day of action to demand into these immigration camps be closed and all children be free from cages. i want to thank the members of the "free our children" coalition for raising awareness of the mistreatment of immigrant families and children at the u.s. border. we will be expressing our clear support for the september 16th day of action, to help secure the freedom of the innocent children and families being imprisoned in these inhumane facilities. the rest i submit. >> supervisor stefani?

>> >> it is my distinct pleasure to introduce a resolution for friday, known as two so sock day. it is one of the most important and widely celebrated holidays in korean culture, and honouring it today is a tribute to our korean community. in its emphasis on celebrating family and community, two-sock day embodies the values that all of us in san francisco hold dear. no community has done more to keep the korean center alive. the korean center provides tremendous resources to the entire bay area. it has pr provided educational, cultural, and social service programming for over 35 years. they have bacteria a been an

invaluable support to our community. in this time, when immigrants are under attack all across this country, when they're slandered by people at the highest levels of government, i'm proud to take this opportunity to honor two-sock day, and it is just one of the many ways that immigrant communities have contributed to san francisco and to the united states. thanks to the korean-american community and to the korean center for their decades of support. and best wishes to you all doing two-sock day. the rest i submit. >> supervisor walton. >> today i'm introducing a ordinance, along with supervisor brown, to amend the 2015 ordinance sponsored by then supervisor scott weiner, current senator weiner, to require health warnings on soda and sugar-sweetened beverages advertisements. earlier this year in

january, the ninth u.s. circuit court of appeals struck down our 2015 ordinance requiring health warnings on advertisements for soda and sugary drinks on the basis that it violates the first amendments and interferes with big soda's advertising. today we are proposing an ordinance to require a 10% warning label, instead of the original 20% warning label, about the health effects of sugar consumption. the lab will read: "san francisco government warning: drinking beverages with added sugars may contribute to obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay." and we'll take 10% of the advertisement space. the text will be print in the size and manner that is clearly legible to the intended viewers. the legislation will also redefine the definition of public advertisements, to

which the ordinance is ap publiapplicable to any advertisement, but not "lights out"e"lightsno limited to anyone in any of the following: paper poster, billboard, on a marina, transit shelter, or any other structure, on a bus, car, train, petty cab, or any other vehicle, and on a wall or any surface material. san franciscans need tob awarneed to beaware of the healh impacts of sugary beverages, and need to have adequate access to nutritional information for the products they consume. consumption of sugar-sweetened beverages has been linked to a myriad of health problems, including but not limited to weight gain, obesity,

coronary heart disease, type 2 diabetes, tooth decay, and other health problems. soft drinks and other sugar-sweetened beverages are the primary sources of added sugar. even regular consumption of sugary drinks, one can a day, can contribute to cardio problems, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. it contributes to the addiction to sugar in our communities. the american heart association reports that one in three teens or younger children in the u.s. are overweight or obese. childhood obesity is now the number one health concern among american parents. in 2010, nearly one-third of children and adolescents in san francisco were either obese or overweight. low income families are significantly more likely

to be affected by obesity and diabetes, and many residents of the bay view living areas, where fresh produce and healthy food choices are already a struggle to access. in fact, the bay view hunter's point neighbourhood have more per capita emergency room visits, due to diabetes, between 2009 and 2011 than any other neighbourhood in san francisco. we know that our black and brown are unfairly targeted by soda and sugar-sweetened beverage industries. for dates in san francisco, approximately 29% of caucasians, 50% of latinos, 29% of asians, and 43% of african-americans consume one or more sodas per day. among ninth graders in san francisco, approximately 31% of caucasians, 48% of

latinos, 31% of asians, and 58% of african-americans consume one or more sodas per day. studies have shown that warning labels have been affective in changing health habits such as reducing smoking. we already see warning labels on cigarette advertisements and allergy warnings on food advertisements. in an effort to combat obesity, type 2 diabetes, and tooth decay in our communities, especially among our youth, we need to implement warning labels on soda ads. i would like to thank deputy city attorney neha gupta for helping us draft this legislation, natalie g. from my office, who has been working on this legislation since we heard about the ninth circuit court decision. the rest i spis submit. submit. >> president yee?

>> colleagues, today i would like to share and in memorium for lawrence funk. larry is remembered for his integrity and love for travel and golf, but he is also recognized for his unwavering dedication in leading the transformation of the lagunda honda hospital in the slate 1990s. larry was born in iowa and raised in texas, where he graduated at the university of texas, because was drawn to san francisco like many people. larry moved to san francisco to pursue a master's in industrial and organizational psychology at san francisco state university, and continued his education and got a master's in public administration program. larry was tapped to serve on the criminal justice council, and the san francisco police department planning and research burrough.

he joined lagunda honda hospital in 1987, and served as the executive administrator in 1998. during a time when the future of the dilapidated hospital was uncertain, he believed and fought for its future. larry oversaw the lagunda honda hospital replacement project, and along with louise renni and tony wagner was suprem instrumental n the passage of the 1999 bond to reimagine and rebuild the hospital. the hospital was rebuilt and became california's first l.e.d.certified green hospital. and he continued to serve in health care capital projects in san mateo. we are immensely grateful

for larry's services. he is survived by his wife, karen, his children, and his brother and family. larry passed away on september 1st in his bilbray home. in lieu of flowers, his family is requesting donations to the pancreatic cancer action network. the rest i submit. >> thank you. >> supervisor brown. >> today i'm putting forward a resolution to allow the mayor's office of housing to assist in the preservation of frederick douglas hain's gardens. it is a 104 unit family project managed by human good, and services primarily low income african-american and african residents. thanks to the work of the

frederick douglas haines counsel, the tax credits will allow for a much-needed structural repairs, new community amenities, and a.d.a. accessible units. further, no one will be displaced, and the project will remain affordable forever. it is very important to me to preserve and protect our affordable housing in district five by working collaboratively with our co-ops, our community will be able to stay and age gracefully in neighborhoods they've helped raise and nourish for years. our families, elders, and youth will have safe homes they can securely call their own. today i would like to adjourn this meeting in the memory of marsia harvey. on july 15th, 2019, our community sadly lost marsia harvey. her legacy is marked by the work she did to make

the western addition community a much more welcoming and accessible place for her, her neighbors, and community members. maria marcella harvey is the youngest daughter of louise harvey, a community activist who fought for housing and access to education in the western addition. over her lifetime, she worked hard to follow in the footsteps of her mother by immersing herself in the community western division.

>> thank you marcia, for your contributions to the western edition community and to san francisco. the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor brown. supervisor fewer.

>> thank you. >> supervisor haney. >> supervisor haney: thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, you all know, the treasure island development broke ground this year and will transform the island with over 8,000 units of new housing. the project has been in the works for decades and in 2011, a development and disposition agreement or d.d.a. was signed outlining the development framework and transition plans for lease holders. as part of that plan, over the next 15 years now, all of the over 1800 residents of the island will be moving out of their current homes. at my first town hall with the residents of treasure island and in many of the conversations that i've had since then, i've heard the same message. significant anxiety about the pending development, concern about where they will live when

they are required to leave and questions about the guarantees that residents have. when the d.d.a. was signed, residents were grouped into categories, we were one of the 250 or so households living in supportive housing and guaranteed a unit or a lease holder before the 2011 d.d.a. and have the opportunity to rent or buy a new unit with some assistance or take inlieu payment or one of the and you would be left to the open market with no guarantees or support. when the d.d.a. was signed, the development was slated to start by 2014 so that meant that if you had lived on the island for a few years and had no benefits, it was only been for a few years. but now, eight years later, the development is not slated to be

done until after 2030. that means, if you moved after the island after 2011, so you were post d.d.a. you could live there for nearly 20 years and have no guaranteed right to relocation and housing on the island. it strikes me as fundamentally unfair and untenable. i can't imagine in any other situation that we would literally displace of hundreds of residents from their housing without any assistance or guaranteed relocation, particularly in a situation where we know that on treasure island, we're going to be building thousands of units of housing including housing open to people more broadly before it was open to residents current residents of the island. since the beginning of this year, my office has been close

in conversation about rectifying this challenge and today i am introducing a resolution to formalize this intent and urge the title board to expand benefits to post d.d.a. residents. this won't be exactly the same as what has been made available to pre d.d.a. tenants who have a particular guarantee but i do believe that we have a responsibility to ensure that we are not evicting hundreds of families, many of whom are low or middle income or hundreds of residents without assistance and support, particularly as many units of housing will be available that they could gain access to or some preference for on the island itself. i believe it's our moral obligation to take care of the rear did he tell of treasure island, many of them have been

there for a long time and they should benefit and have access to the opportunities to live on a community and in a neighborhood they've held to build. >> supervisor mandelman. >> thank you. >> mr. president, that concludes our roll call for introductions. >> supervisor yee: thank you. let's go to public comment at this point. >> public comment. the public may address the board of supervisors for up to two minutes on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board. to include the mayor's appearance, the july 30th bother meeting minutes and items 22-24 without reference to committee calender. public comment a not allowed when an item has been subject to public comment. director remarks to the board as

a whole not to individuals supervisors and not to the audience. speakers using interpretation will be twice the amount of time. if you would like to display a document, just state such and remove the document when the screen returns to live coverage of the meeting. >> i was reading in the epic times an article about this board of supervisors and i'm asking stephanie if she disavows, sometimes they make mistakes. they retracted a statement they made last week about trump. maybe you are innocence. this is the charge that you are calling the n.r.a. a terrorist organization, do you disavow. vow. >> supervisor yee: if you want to make a public comment. >> i want her to explain the

word not is in the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. i want stephanie. >> do not direct individual supervisors, direct it to the board. >> can i do the initials, supervisor c.s.? come on. you know what the law is. you know what the supreme law of the land says and you know you are guilty of tre treason. the more guns the better. that's rea you know it. you can say you don't like them but you are not to shoot your big fat mouth off and undermine what it says in the united states constitution not one member of the n.r.a., i say not one member of the n.r.a. committed a crime. >> supervisor yee: i need you to be removed from the room. we already warned you. >> warn me about using a name. >> clerk: you are not allowed to speak to the individual supervisors or engage in conversation in request to respond to you and you've been asked to stop. >> yeah, but that's not lawful.

when diane feinstine was here we were supposed to get three minutes. >> you know what the law says. and there are accurate information. it's fox news, tucker karlsson, all sorts of actual news. the epic times is probably the best there is. you know, they're sending in, ok, china that is, kellyanne conway mentioned china is sending in enough fentanyl to kill everybody in the united states of america four times over. this is reality. this is in the epic times. this is a real newspaper unlike the san francisco you know what. i'll use the word. this is a real newspaper. our great general has really been exonerated although he hasn't been exonerated. general michael has a new lawyer

and he found out that the persecutors called prosecutors are actually persecutors because when these unlimited funds and 95% success rate, they held back evidence. >> supervisor yee: thank you. next speaker, please. >> supervisors, i think that if you want to value public comment, you all should respect the speakers. when y'all have your side bar conversations, the result is what you witness from the previous speaker. you have to call the sheriff. if you have going to have that type of a dictorial system, i think this is not meant for y'all supervisors.

i represent the first people of this area. i brought in our chaplin here to request y'all to serve the constituents of san francisco. and you know, supervisors, that y'all deliberately do not listen to the advocates. for example, y'all allow big developers to build on contaminated land which effects our infants, our children, our youth, our beloved elders. those with compromised health. more mentally and physically challenged. when y'all speak, you are all over the place talking about this that and the other. but the general hospital, we intend harms our taxpayers.

look at st. luke's hospital. you got rid of the beds and everything that helps the poor people. y'all wanted in favor the big developers. we have a representative in this chambers who took millions of dollars from lennar. this rogue developer harmed our children. some of y'all have your heart in the rit place but most of y'all need orientation. rehabilitation. learn what is empathy and compassion. thank you, very much. >> supervisor yee: next speaker. >> good afternoon, board. my name is drew. i'm here speaking on behalf of the korean center. again, the first festival is being held on saturday. 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at the pray grounds but i want today

to our culture. as his distant relative, i am honored to give his soul some peace and happiness and i'm very thankful for district 2, catherine stefani for providing a resolution to the board and i want to thank for your efforts. thank you. >> supervisor yee: next speaker. >> greet, my name is pete bennett. i'm a resident of walnut creek but i'm homeless on the street. i'm the witness that came forward in the murder of san francisco police officer lester garnier in july of 2008. five years ago, my brother's family was murdered in utah. 14 or so years ago my girlfriend and daughter were murdered. my roommate was killed in the county jail. the $250,000 reward that you put up for the murder of officer lester garnier sponsored by

california. i moved away from california in the late 6 '50's and i '60s anda ballot measure that's created problems ever since. i am trying to start a movement again to reinstate pay toilets and if anybody -- because people are being deprived now of being able to pay for toilets. by it's state law and it's going to take a real effort to reinstate them again. it's going to take a constitutional amendment and in order to do this, we're going to

have to -- we're going to have to put on the ballot provisional ballot so that people can be on record to approve the measure. this would save a whole bunch of money and public works and other details to bring back pay toilets but it's going to take a major overtime t effort to brin. if anybody is interested, my name is bruce and my address i is -- >> supervisor yee: next speaker.

good afternoon. my name is roll. raul.although i am a citizen ofn francisco and live in district 5, i work as a parallel for an immigration attorney. my friends came last week, john and anna to speak on what i'm about to speak. yesterday night, with a vote of 10 ayes and two abstentions, the peace and justice commission of berkeley passed a resolution in support of my friends facing charges in sanoma county. my friends have gone into factory farms and risked their freedom to save animals being tortured and mutilated by corporations such as smith farms, et cetera. those charges are violations of our rights. two of my friends are facing

felony charges for standing on public property and another was placed in solitary confinement in a jail cell covered in feces. this is a politically motivated attack and a prosecution meant to instill fear in our organization t will not do that. it will only strengthen our cause and our mission. san francisco has a history of defending animal rights and human rights at the march of last year san francisco became the first major city to ban the sale of fur and i am happy to say that just half an hour ago, the california senate passed ab-44 and the governor is expected to sign it in october. we're very happy for that. shout out to katie pain for helping us with that. i'm happy there were discussions regarding prison, the injustice of the prison system and hope --
