members of this body, to do affirmative outreach. not only with the supervisors, but with the community. by the community, i anybody reach out to the chinese historical society? did anybody reach out to the historic preservation professionals to vet these individuals? no. did anyone reach out affirmatively, until late in the game, to the only nonprofit organization that does and has advocated for historical preservation in san francisco for almost a half a century? no. is the political pressure on? yeah, it is. as we go forward, not only in the instance of this or preservation commission, but in all of these that we have to have a much better process. i am absolutely more than bothered about the lack of diversity on historic preservation commission.

i also know, a somebody who has been working in this field now since i first got elected in the year 2,000, that there are qualified people of color, asian women, who would covet this seat , who have actually practised preservation architecture and are licensed architects that the mayor's office could reach out to and he would take the job in an absolute second. with those things in mind, i would like another week to continue this conversation with not only my colleagues or less than a majority of my colleagues , but with the chief executive branch of this city and county. i would like to make a motion to continue both of these items. items 17 and 18, and thank you for indulging me in that little piece of history as we talk about the historic preservation commission. thank you, colleagues. >> there has been a motion made to continue this item, these two

items to our meeting next week. is there a second? seconded by supervisor mandelman before we take a vote, i think supervisor ronen wanted to make a comment. >> yes. thank you. at the rules committee meeting, we had this discussion, and i had actually made a motion to continue the eitan because i too hadn't had the opportunity to meet with everyone. i subsequently had a chance to meet with lydia, we had a great meeting, and i really appreciated that, but i do -- it is just a very important, many of us did not have the opportunity to fully vet the candidates, talk to the organizations that are experts in this area, to find out where they stand or why they had

issues, and so despite our great meeting, i have to let my colleagues have a week, to have the time to feel like that they are meeting with everyone that they need to meet with in order to feel comfortable enough moving forward, you know, i am going to be supporting the continuance, and wanted to just explain why. >> supervisor mar? >> thank you. i just wanted to also share my current thinking on this item. is a member of the rules committee, along with supervisor ronen and walton, we had to quickly consider this at our rules committee meeting last week, and i think i learned a lot through that hearing and through a lot of communications that i received from a wide

range of people in the community , and within the historic preservation field about the important work of the historic preservation committee and the role of the commissioners, so through the hearing, you know, again, and through the commune occasions i have received, and also my direct interview and communications with her, you know, i found there was a wide range of diverse voices in support of her qualifications to serve on seat number two on the commission, and i was convinced that she is qualified, and i do support the mayor's appointment of lydia so to see number two. not only issue qualified, but i feel like it is an important step forward to bring more diverse perspectives and experiences to the historic preservation commission and to

the important field of protecting our historic resources in san francisco. in respect to supervisor peskin 's long commitment professional and personal commitment to these issues, and his work specifically on creating historic preservation commission, you know, i do support the motion to continue this to allow more time for all of us to really be able to consider this item. >> supervisor walton? >> thank you. i was basically going to say a lot of what supervisor marr said she is highly qualified and a highly educated woman of color. i was happy to support moving her nomination forward from the rules committee, but there is also something to be said about giving the mayor's office and

the colleagues the opportunity to have a continuing conversation with community on best -- on how best to move forward. with that said, i will be supporting the motion to continue. >> i would like to echo the same statements. for me, i think i will be supporting the motion, and it is not because of the story of the person that we appointed for the board of appeals, i don't think we should be drawing parallels with these individuals. in deference to supervisor peskin, who i know is passionate and has worked on this issue for much longer than most of us on work don't -- i've worked on eddie it -- any issue, i would be supportive of a continuance. colleagues, so there is a motion that has been forwarded and seconded to continue items 17 and 18 to our meeting on

september 24th. do we need to take a roll call? [roll call] there are eight time mac and three knows -- there are eight aye and three in the negative. >> the motion passes. okay, we are now at 2:38 p.m. madame clerk, can we go through

our 2:30 p.m. special commendations? >> we have commendations to be offered by supervisors fewer and president yee. >> i will go ahead and give the first commendation. colleagues, today i have the pleasure of honoring the very reverend father -- [indiscernible] -- who has been the parish priest at saint gregory armenian church in san francisco which is located in district seven. this was his first official's -- at the parish and as priest. and his time here, he has been leading a large but also a very active parish. just this past weekend, they organized their 62nd armenian food festival, which brought together people from all the areas to build relationships and honor the culture of mania. i was there to enjoy the food

and company of the parish. it is one of the events they look forward to every year. he has a unique focus on supporting youth. he has been an instrumental part of the student's armenian school and serving as a spiritual advisor and mentor. in his own personal journey, he has also taken seriously the advancement of his own studies. he earned his master his degree in religion in berkeley. we have been so thankful to you, father, for all the work you have done to strengthen community ties to our community and citywide at large. you were a large part -- you were part of a larger interfaith of commendations that our city is facing, and your thoughtfulness will be missed.

on behalf of your sand -- of san francisco, i want to thank you for your service and wish you the best in your next chopper -- chapter as you move on to another assignment. you will always have a home here in san francisco and we welcome you back any time. father, would you like to say a few words? >> members of the board of supervisors, i would like to take a moment and wholeheartedly express my gratitude for this recognition and the board of supervisors. the community of san francisco is always grateful to you all for always showing love and support towards our community and people. thank you for your service to the city and county of san francisco. i had the honor and privilege to serve in the armenian community of san francisco at saint gregory church.

this past three and a half years provided a great experience, which is not only experiencing the uniqueness of our community in san francisco, but the and reaching experience of leading and being part of the san francisco culture. my experience proved that san francisco has special charm and accepts people for the way they are, supporting and encouraging individuals, giving a put voice to the people who are struggling to make their voices be heard. most importantly, establishing the human and graceful equality within the people so everyone in the city enjoyed god's blessings our city has many difficulties to overcome, but we should always look at the blessings and be thankful. the armenian people during the armenian genocide lost their homes and land. their homes, churches, and schools were destroyed by the perpetuators.

san francisco accepted us. we tended to this city after the genocide and build a new life. we build built our church, our full-time school kids, our community center, youth organizations, and created a new armenia in san francisco. we became the caretakers of mount davidson cross because we know the feeling of losing heritage. for over a hundred years, the armenian community here has been part of the multicultural fabric of san francisco. it has been an honor to serve this city and community every single day, and it will be cherished forever. i ensure that the community and the city will continue their strong relationship for years to come. and author and san francisco resident once said, if you are alive, you can't be bored in san francisco. if you are not alive, san

francisco will bring you to life san francisco is a world to explore, and it is a place the heart can go on a delightful adventure. it is a city in which the spirit can no refreshment every day. thank you and may god bless you. [applause] [applause]

>> supervisor fewer? >> thank you very much. could i have resources please come up to the podium? colleagues, today i'm excited to recognize spee resources. in 1979, after a violent incident at a san francisco unified school district high school, p. resources was founded to give students the tools, resources and trainings to be first responders, advocates, and allies for each other. they have been committed to institutional change, restorative practices, and putting love in action.

on september 28th, 2019, resources will celebrate its 40 th anniversary where they will be honoring 40 changemakers for the impact for our communities engaging in advocating for their peers and asking -- acting as champions for leaders. they become spaces for students to build communities. during my eight years at the school board can conduct is a schoolboard schoolboard commissioner, i have an opportunity to work closely with these people. their students wrote a resolution that i sponsored, requiring the school district to install signage in different languages and schools with newcomer passageways. they train youth to develop leaders as systemic change, working across 14 public schools

as restorative mediators, mentors and serving 16,000 per year. p. resources is also a founding member in agencies with the san francisco pathway coalition. they are committed to supporting educator leaders of and for san francisco that was black -- respect the student population of the district. on a personal note, my office would not it would be without them, they provided invaluable resources and training for district one legislative aids and changemakers. thank you to my colleagues for joining me in recognizing september 28th, 2019, as the

changemakers day in san francisco, and thank you for your four decades of tireless work saving hundreds of thousands of lives. >> thank you supervisor walton? >> i just wanted to throw my two sense in as a former member of the board of education. it really is exciting to see the work that you do with young people and preparing them for leadership, preparing them how to focus on social justice issues and advocate for themselves as young leaders in working with their peers, we have an opportunity to work on so many things together with the educator pathway, career pathway , resolution, so much systemic change and work this still exists today and even now in this role, being able to work with some of the students at my

district that are working on transportation equity across san francisco. i just wanted to congratulate you on 40 years and thank you for the work you continue to do with our young people. >> it is good to see you all. for those of us who are on the board of education, we miss you and we feel like there's no doubt that the school district is in great hands as long as you all are there and the 40 years as supervisor fewer said is an extraordinary contribution and an exponential contribution to our schools and our city. there's there so many young leaders like chelsea, who was shaped by her peers and have shaped our city because of what you all have taught them and the way that you have empowered them to really step up themselves and make sure they are heard and their leadership is centred in decisions that are made about them.

i really want to thank you and say it was such a privilege to be able to work closely with you all when i was on the schoolboard, and i'm just so glad that you all are still there and still doing what you are doing. thank you and congratulations. >> okay. would you like to come up and say a few words? >> thank you so much, board of supervisors, for recognizing resources today, especially as we have our 40th birthday. as you all have mentioned, p. resources is an organization that creates safe spaces for young people to see themselves as leaders, activists, empathetic communicators, some even finding their passions in doing education work. i myself, i am an alum of the program. i've had the fortune of tilting in this program.

i participated in p. resources as a student in school of the arts high school back in the day i also was able to participate in the youth council where i got to work with other students who were part of other schools in sfusd. we got to work together on a weekly basis on trying to to make a difference is in our high school and finding ways where we could collaborate and work together to have meaningful change for our peers. growing up in the late nineties, live and in section eight housing, being a student at school of the arts was isolating for me. having p. resources as a safe space, where i could connect with other people who looked like me, who had similar stories and backgrounds to mine, was really meaningful. after high school i was hired as an alumni intern where i got to

work at balboa high school, and essentially, be part of the balboa. resources program where i got to see what it would be like to teach during the school day. i was able to run the mediation program. i got to develop support groups for students who were getting, who are disappearing in the ninth and tenth grade years. i was able to work with them and i continued -- i'm connected with them today as they are doing really great work, and living their lives, some of them still in san francisco. after that, i was able to then start running my resources program at marina mills school. i was there for a couple of years i really got to see young

people being their best selves. i really got to see them find their purpose. it is really incredible watching young people when you really believe that they are able to do beyond what is expected. i just got to see them stand in their best selves and just create incredible change in their schools and in their lives some of them now in the youth work field, working with young people themselves. [please stand by]

misogyny during his presidency. by reaching out to their families and helping to support groups for the campaign to get justice and historical recognition in japan and the philippines. this sunday, there will be a special event commemorating the second anniversary at the comfort women at the memorial in san francisco. joan has been instrumental in the work on behalf of the international solidarity against human trafficking. on behalf of the board of san francisco severs, we want to

[ applause ]. >> thank you to the board of supervisors and san francisco, and the recognition is -- i'm honored to be recognized here. i also want to say that i would like to accept this honor on behalf of the women of philippinea despite old age and illness. someday they will get justice and they will be recognized by the japanese government and the philippine government. at the same time as their experience as victims of sexual slavery will not be experienced by other generations of women. i would also like to thank the

board of supervisors for your superior of human rights in the philippines. i know that you have been supporting and had a resolution to stop the killings in the philippines. we are living in a fearful society in the philippines. every day we wake up this that one of our people will be killed or our office or homes will be raided by the police. but we get home from many people around the world for solidarity and giving us support always and every day. hopefully together we will be able to fight and defeat my j -

misogyny, sexism in the philippines. i would like to invite everyone on sunday for the commemoration of the anniversary of the comfort women statute. we have been trying to put them up, but pressure from the government and the government of japan, the last statute was -- went missing, despite all the secrecy and protection that we tried to do. hopefully we will be able -- we're still trying to put up statutes. not just for the recognition of the lolas or comfort women, but to teach the young filipino women about this history and we learn from this hm. on sunday, 22nd september, we would like to invite you to

st. mary's square for the commemoration of the statute. thank you very much. [ applause ].

>> okay. with that, that concludes the special commendations for today. madam clerk, lists go to roll call for introductions. >> clerk: mr. president, we will re-refer supervisor peskin and begin with supervisor ronan subpoena. >> thank you. today, colleagues, supervisor haney and i with others are introducing a resolution urging the department of public health to rescind their august 19 letter, notifying severely mentally ill residents at the adult residential facility that they must relocate in 60 days. last night we heard directly from the staff of the adult residential facility family members and residents that people at the facility are filled with extreme anxiety due

to the displacement and that it is having a direct impact on their health. there is also concern that many severely ill and vulnerable residents will end up back on the streets once they are displaced from the facility. the resolution also states that the department of public health and the department of human resources should meet and confer with all unions connected with the connected communities and that the facility is not relocated and the facility remains open. while we introduced an ordinance last week that these stay open, despite d.p.h.s disrupt announcement to remove 41 of the 51 long-term beds, it will take over a month to move that ordinance through the legislative deadline for residents to access this facility.

this measure is a stop-gap measure to make sure that residents are not displaced from their homes on october 19 when the time limit is up. as i stated before, these long-term beds are what we need most in san francisco right now. there are people being held in jail and locked hospital wards because of the lack of availability of these long-term beds. we in the city must retain and expand what we have. i want to thank you for partnering with me and thank you to all of my colleagues who have co-sponsored so far. i want to give you a special thank you to the psychiatric workers, the social workers, s.c.i.u. and local 21 representatives who worked with us on this legislation. the rest i submit -- although, i would like to comment after supervisor walton does comment. >> thank you, supervisor ronan.

>> thank you so much, madam clerk. i just have a few items this afternoon. the first one introduced in a resolution along with supervisors ronan, brown, stephanie, mar, fewer, to chemical -- condemn a rule change that would create food insecurity for millions of people. the proposed rule change by the usda is undoubtedly a move in the wrong direction. in a move of self-sufficiency, they are jeopardizing the nutrition of more than 3 million people who are already food insecure. we must be clear that food secure is a human right. there is a choice of doing what we can to access the most basic needs like food and water and

letting them figure it out for themselves. there is a huge value in self-sufficiency, but the price for not getting there for whatever reason should not be hunger. data from the usda shows that fraud and snap amounts are less than 1% of its cases. which means that 99% of snap is meeting real needs of people. food security as a human right means we need to make sure our families are fed. according to the task force in 2018, 226,520 people in san francisco are residents with an income below 200% of the poverty level and are in risk of foot insecurity. we should be sparing no expense and make sure our community is fed, especially given the material wealth we see all around us in this city. i also, along with supervisor

haney, am requesting a hearing on an update of the department of accountability operations and the san francisco police departments, implementation of the department of justice recommendations. we want to hear how many department of justice recommendati recommendations have been addressed by the d.p.a. i'm interested in how its investigations are being conducted and addressed. also calling this hearing along with supervisor haney in hopes of getting updates to ensure that we are moving towards a more transparent and accountable process. i will be asking for the department of police accountability to provide the number of cases referred, investigated, and the findings. i'm also asking that we be provided with an update as to how all the departments are complying with sb-14-21. how does the department increase

transparency. i also want to know what the san francisco police department has done to address the department of justice recommendations and the continued plans and strategies. next we also -- as you remember, the board of supervisors, we passed a legislation on june 18, 2019, directing the closure of juvenile hall by december 2021. since the passing of this ordinance, j.p.d. has been hard at work trying to undermine the work of the juvenile experts all across the this city, state, and country, who have been calling for alternatives that provide real opportunities for youth to be successful after incarceration, versus continuing to feed the county jail and prison pipeline.

we have all been eager to get to work and provide the best services for our youth. unfortunately, the juvenile probation department and its leadership has decided to create programs that are arbitrary to the budget approved by this body in june of 2019. trying to utilize resources in a manner unintended by this body upon approval. therefore, i'm making a request, along with supervisors, to prepare an appropriation ordinance, replacing the non-mandatory budget for the juvenile department for fiscal year 2019-20 on the board of supervisors reserve. la last, i'm also requesting that the city attorney prepare an ordinance prohibiting the juvenile probation department from using juvenile hall to be used to provide any type of

programming that incarcerates youth post-adjudication. this ordinance will request that any programming that involves the incarceration of youth post-adjudication not be housed in the 375 woodside facility. it is not a good use of city resources to create a program that is destined to be closed under our current y.g.c. ordinance. we have other areas that continue to remain vacant and can be worked to implement such a program that will provide alternatives and opportunities for young folks to be successful. and we've had over a year for that to happen. the rest i submit. >> supervisor, walton, please add me as a co-sponsor for the first one regarding the food and drug administration. >> supervisor ronen. >> thank you. i wanted to thank supervisor

walton for continuing to be a leader on this. i have to say i was shocked when i read the paper this morning. after the 10-1 vote at this body, after the struggle at the budget committee around j.p.d.'s budget. after the task force that is currently ongoing and the one that we're about to set up to accomplish the goal of shutting down or the mandate of shutting down juvenile hall by december 2021, that director, chief nanz would consider suggesting that they send more youth to this facility. i've been to log cabin ranch. for whatever its facilities were, a job training program out of town, out in nature, where there's no bars, there's no

concrete cells, no shackling of kids, that made a lot of sense. moving those kids post-adjudication into a maximum security jail once again makes no sense whatsoever. during the budget process, chief nanz came up here and was asking for several new positions. when we went and had our back and forth about the fact that despite the declining population at juvenile hall and the closure of log cabin ranch, despite the fact that they've had more employees staffing an empty facility for years on end, how could they possibly be asking for new positions. he tried to make the claim that they didn't have enough staff. so how he's going to, without

any budget implementation, now add an entire new program to juvenile hall makes no sense. he should at least be consistent in his outrageous claims. he's not even doing that. so i believe that -- i believe for a long time now, and i said this during the budget process, that we've been falling asleep at the job when it comes to j.p.d.'s budget. that they've been over budget for quite some time, despite the decline in juvenile crime which is great news that we should be celebrating. now is the time to put that under a microscope. thanks, supervisor walton, for introducing his items.

>> today i'm going to be introducing legislation to extend the advisory committee so it doesn't sunset. it's only september and 22 people have lost their lives in san francisco due to traffic violence. annually there are more than 500 severe injuries. these injuries are preventable and not only must this board, sfmta, and the city be aggressive. we must grow our advocacy and resident engagement for vision zero. psac is the only city body specifically focused on pedestrians. given that pedestrians are often -- most often being killed and severely injured, it is important that our residents have an opportunity to serve and make recommendations to policy-making bodies. psac was created in 2001 more

than a decade before san francisco adopted vision zero policy. we now have a city department vision zero task force and a community-based coalition. but when a 12-year-old was hit four days ago, now is not the time to get rid of a community-driven body dedicated to making recommendations on improving pedestrian safety. there was a time when psac struggled to make quorum, but with new members, attendance has risen and been consistent.

city staff must also absolutely and appropriately support this body in being successful. in addition to the support of staff, in order to strengthen the work of psac, this legislation requires that within six months psac will submit to the board recommendations on possible changes to the structure or duties to strengthen their efforts. we must be supporting of this vision and i look forward to collaborating with them in creating stronger policies that will get us to zero. thank you, supervisor haney, for co-sponsoring. i know your district has been dramatically impacted and you and your staff has been prioritizing this work. i'd also like to thank supervisor mar and ronen and walton for co-sponsoring.

the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor brown. supervisor fewer. >> thank you, madam clerk. today i introduce two resolutions. one is in support of public banking. i am thrilled that 857 has passed both houses of the california state legislature and the bill now sits on the governor's desk awaiting his signature. this bill will provide a green light and pathway for municipal public banks through a pilot program that will allow up to ten public banks in the state. i want san francisco to be first in line with an application to the state for a public banking charter to provide an alternative to large commercial banks that don't serve our interest and reinvest our public dollars for the public goods. thank you for your votes, but this resolution is specifically

urging the governor to sign the bill into law. i want to thank my co-sponsors. colleagues, i hope that all of you will support this resolution. the second resolution pertains to the 2020 census, and the decision of the u.s. census bureau to eliminate non-english paper questionnaires for a language group of 100,000 or more. this will have a huge and negative impact on san francisco and on california more broadly, as it specifically impacts many foreign language speakers in san francisco. 44% of our residents speak a language other than english and 26% speak an asian language at home. in 2010, the u.s. census bureau did implement paper questionnaires for these languages. so this decision reverses a prior practice. this decision will likely result in an undercount of limited

english position and then a loss of congressional representation, billions in federal funding and access to civil services and rights protection. i want to thank my co-sponsors. i hope the rest of you will stand with me in support of this resolution in ensuring comprehensive language access in the 2020 census. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor supervisor haney. >> thank you, madam clerk. just a little bit on the resolution, urging the department of public health to rescind their august 19, 2019, letter notifying severely mentally ill adult residential facility residents to relocate. as supervisor ronen said, we had the opportunity to meet with a number of the workers from that facility who really more than

anything were -- felt incredibly let down that they were not consult or listened to. there are collective bargaining processes in place, where they should have been not just notified but a part of this position. there are attempts to communicate with -- d.p.h. have been repeatedly ignored. they're asking our support to, at the very least, rescind this 60-day letter which can have the impact not just on the workers but, more importantly, on the residents of that facility who -- and the need for this facility to stay open. but they want us to call on d.p.h. to keep -- to rescind this notice and to meet with the workers so they can be a part of the solution. d.p.h. has over a month to make this right and they failed to act and they have not responded to the requests. and by the residents their

families and the worker. the resolution is urging d.p.h. to rescind this notice to relocate, and is urging them to meet with all the relevant stakeholders so we can make sure these residents don't end up back on the streets. this is especially urgent because there is legislation that has been introduced. we have a hearing on that which will be on october 17. the 60th day to relocate would be october 19. we need to move quickly on this and support the needs of the residents, the workers, and of this critical facility. i also wanted to comment on supervisor walton and i are calling for a hearing on the department of police accountability and also an update on the department of justice recommendations for reform at sfpd. as you all recall in 2016, this was a report that had 272

recommendations and 94 findings about how we can improve here with the san francisco police department. there's since been a change with the california department of justice taking on that responsibility. i think it's beyond time for us to have a full update on the progress towards those recommendations and those findings. whether we have seen progress, where we may continue to be out of compliance, it's critical that for us as the legislative body that we take a more active role in ensuring our progress on these recommendations. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor. supervisor mandelman. supervisor mar? supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madam clerk. i wanted to announce today that today i'm going to introduce legislation to create an

amortization process for the implementation of our 2017 update to the hotel conversion ordinance, which would allow s.r.o. business owners some time to phase in these 21st century reforms. what that ultimately ends up looking like will depend on a robust community engagement. to that end i will also call for a hearing at the land use committee to receive feedback from all stakeholders from s.r.o. operators and tenants, as well as housing advocates and the mayor's office of housing and our department of building inspection as to this proposal. finally, i just want to add my name as a co-sponsor to the mayor's amendment to ensure that housing authority employees are extended the same benefits under the charter as are other employees and the rest i will submit. >> clerk: mr. president, seeing no names on the roster, that concludes the introduction of new business.

>> thank you, madam clerk. let's go to public comment at this point. >> clerk: it's time for public comment. at this time you can address your remarks to the entire board of supervisors. i will redirect you if you are addressing a member directly or if you're speaking outside of the microphone. timer is set for two minutes. speakers using interpretation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time to speak. please address the board on subject matters under the jurisdiction of the board. to also include items 21 through 24, the items that did not go to committee. as you already know items that were previously heard in committee subject to public comment will not be heard again today. if you would like to display a document on the overhead projector, let us know. >> just before we get started. for the audience, i notice that several people have submitted cards to make public comments. just go ahead and line up.

go ahead. >> god says use sound speech that cannot be condemned. i have to condemn myself for saying a certain supervisor should shut her big, fat mouth. i hope you can forgive me. god has already forgiven me. if it's not treason, it's something else to say -- god says every mouth should be stopped and the whole world should become guilty before god. now, i know moses spoke with his lips and god killed him for it. god is merciful. i try to be objective in everything i do, say.

a christian is called to do that. i am a real christian. i was listening wednesday to alex jones. honestly, it vexed my heart. it just vexed my heart. i listen to david night now on info wars and he sells super female vitality for your wife or girlfriend. in other words, he doesn't think hs sinful to live with your girlfriend before you live with her. that's not a real christian. i'm a real christian. it says in ephesians to not do that. i would like to talk to you about the time i've got less is the greatest prayer in the old testament. it's in daniel 9. he said oh my god, harken, open your eyes and hear and behold

our desolations. so we do not present our supplications before these for our righteousness or that great mercy. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> clerk: i'm starting your time, sir. >> greetings, my name is pete bennet from walnut creek, california. i have a blog which is about a san francisco police officer. i came forward in that case almost ten -- over ten years ago. my life has been run over. in connection with san francisco police department, maybe this body here, and in the middle of

that picture is gavin nusen who signed the award. i probably have lost $2 million in revenue since this happened. the guy on the left is chief faegen who i knew from walnut creek. i know all these people. i triggered something huge. the guy on the right is the son of a state senator, who i've known the family close to 40 years found dead in a hotel room. the guy on the left is your prif police officer. that's a lot of people. now i'm going to put something else down here which is the blog. just take a note of those. i'm going to hand this to you. i left a copy in the mayor's office. you should focus on this because this is about children, this is about pipeline explosions, of

which i worked for p.g. & e. and i figured out who blew up the pipeline. i'm going to say clearly so you see how my story is connected to this. my maps belonging to pg&e comprised of 20,000 pages of maps, security details, pipeline locations. it's enough to put the lights out all over northern california. my maps also line up with every fire in northern california. i go over to pg&e and i get threatened with arrest. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> supervisors, yesterday you had a hearing in the chambers, where people who own restaurant s described to you how

horrendous the situation is in san francisco. when we advocates come here, we hear you supervisors talk on subjects that are far removed from represents our infants, our children, our youth, our young adults, our seniors, those with compromised health, those who are physically and mentally challenged. all supervisors mandatory have to attend to quality of life issues. you do not. you are one to take the companies like juul on, but you fail to take on rogue developers on. on the contrary, you'll accept money from them, sit in the chambers, and try
