force, and my profound thanks to all the task force members who shared they profound wisdom and experience. secondly, i would like to request that we close this meeting in memory of simon armand montiglion, the mother of a former member of this body who died earlier this month at the age of 95, and the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor mandelman. supervisor mar?
6:01 pm
>> supervisor mar: -- one, require sfpd to report.
6:02 pm
and two, require sfpd to disclose the aggregated crime data for victims of adult, aggravated assault, sexual assault, burglary, theft, motor vehicle theft, robbery, battery, vandalism, domestic violence, and murder. the legislation does not require sfpd to collect any new information from victims, but only requires sfpd to report available data that has already been collected. i first requested this data for a board of supervisors hearing i convened in march in response to a series of home invasion robberies targeting families in the chinese district. after more crimes throughout the day, i was joined by
6:03 pm
president yee and supervisor safai in a recommendation. the data we received is alarming. 50% of the victims are black. all communities citywide saw an annual increase in burglary victims since 2015 and robbery victims increased annually since 2016. theft victims across the see more than doubled from 2016 to 2018. with 28,444 theft victims in 2016 and 59,756 in 2018. asian burglary victims have increased annually, as well, since 2013, and asian robbery victims have increased annually since 2017. hate motivated crimes have increased across the nation for
6:04 pm
three straight years, according to the f.b.i. in san francisco, it's been especially tragic, increasing 59% over three years. with this data, we can better track these crimes, understand who's being impacted, and develop better strategies to address them. secondly, i'm proud to be working closely with budget chair fewer on budget reform legislation to improve transparency and engagement at every especially step of the budget process. in my very first board meetings, i held my very first town hall on the eraf budget.
6:05 pm
i would add our budget process is also a statement of our values. democracy must be one of our core values. that's why i've dedicated my first year in office to strengthening our democracy, fighting political corruption to ensure free and fair elections and now budget reform. democracy does not begin or end at the ballot box but should be part of the processes with which we govern ourselves in every facet of our lives. i look forward to working together to expanding our democratic values through reform. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, colleagues. i'm finally excited to introduce the product of a year's worth of work. in 2015, we passed appropriate and reasonable regulations on what are now termed short-term
6:06 pm
rentals, but these are regulations that are limited to permitted s.t.r. listings which don't address the pro-liferation of 30-day rentals. at the heart of our regulations was a desire to protect rent controlled housing which to date has been the ma erto of the city's housing portfolio that as we know is under a lot of pressure and is rapidly disappearing whether at the hands of illegal housing, or others. most recently, and i believe supervisor mandelman spoke to this earlier, the sonder case
6:07 pm
on market street prompted a renewed interest in how to address this multibillion dollar industry as more and more developers seek to capitalize off of whatever essentially quasi hotel operations. the corporate rental legislation that i'm proposing today -- these units are essential housing staples for long-term tenants particularly those on fixed incomes. -- pursuant to preempting state law, the costa hawkins act, we cannot establish vacancy controls. i've heard from many tenants in my district and from around the city that concerns that temporary strangers are
6:08 pm
siphoning through the buildings every few months and the cost of the vacant building is often passed through to the long-term tenants. as supervisor ronen said in a recent hearing, we want to ensure that san francisco residents stay in san francisco and we also want companies to use hotels to howuse employees temporarily for work. the second piece addresses the new construction of these types of units. just as our inclusionary housing requirements are triggered by building of of ten unit -- buildings of ten units or more, this would be triggered by the building of ten or more units, directing the controller to perform a
6:09 pm
nexus study to gauge appropriate housing impact fees. if there's a role for these new types of units in our market rate housing, we can monitor that appropriately. we continue to struggle with a housing crisis that has continued to displaced more and mortenants from their long -- more and more tenants from their home. i want to thank everyone for their work in getting this ready for introduction. we have an opportunity i think to create reasonable regulations and inform future policy discussions, and i look forward to the input of the public interest organizations and all of you colleagues as this goes forward through the
6:10 pm
legislative process. also, we have had with regard to the implementation of 5-g and legislation that we passed earlier this year to comply with federal preemption as well as some court decisions that prohibited cities like san francisco from exercising discretion in the issuance of permits for wireless facilities. and when i voted for that, i think i said in committee that i was voting for it reluctantly, but i was told th that's what we needed to do to comply with federal regulations. [please stand by]

6:12 pm
>> mr. stewart was a fascinating person born in 1933 in new york, moved to washington, d.c. in the years prior to the second world war. his father back a director of the group of scientists to develop the atom bomb. his mother, on the other hand, florence, headed the housing group with post-war housing and on our board was eleanor roosevelt who worked with closely with his mother. when dick was old enough, he attended sid-well friend's school and went on to queen's college as a road scholar, attended harvard law school, followed by a six-month tour of
6:13 pm
duty in the united states infantty with the 33r 33rd division from hawaii where he provided legal advice to soldiers and later he became involved in political organizing for new york mayor john lindsay's campaign, which lead him eventually to become the insurance commissioner of new york. help had many other roles and later moved to san francisco, where he got involved in the effort to protect san francisco's waterfront from inappropriate development and he played a key role in the pair of ballot measure campaigns in 2013 and 201 2014 known as no-wall oe waterfront where voters objected an 8-3 decision o on this boardf supervisors and he is survived by his wife barbara and my condolences to barbra stewart. i was truly honoured to know him
6:14 pm
and hear his tales of new york and so much more. finally, i would like to ajourn in the meeting of my friend, daphne alexander dorman who took her live tragically on octobe october 11th. she lived in pennsylvania, a sibling, teacher, a boisterous performer at renaissance fairs and she did a stint on tv as a host at qcv and moved to the bay area in her 30s and five years ago she came out transitioning into the person she was, becoming daphne. she was vi va vi yorkvacious ans
6:15 pm
performer, comedian and will forever be immortalized in her back and forth banter in dave shapel in his recent comedy centre at the punchline comedy club. i had the opportunity -- i think supervisor hainey was there that newt. night. she is survived by her sister who is going through tremendous mourning. there are efforts to create a trust fund for her 6-year-old daughter so if you would like to be kept in the loop, please contact me or my staff. sorry about that and the rest and there is more, madam clerk and i will submit. >> thank you, supervisor. >> supervisor safaie. >> i just will be brief and i'll
6:16 pm
say a few words about adding on to supervisor's hainy's request. i have insight as it comes to the trash can and locations, but the general public just, some of the things don't make sense. people wonder where there's locations and where trash cans are not located, why they can't get more trash cans, so i think having the hearing will allow public works to come in and shed some light. we'll talk about where big bellies have been placed and where they haven't been placed and how neighbor associations or community benefit districts can get access and how they spread them and they've seen to be an effective tool. so i think that's an important conversation to have and then there's also some businesses
6:17 pm
that had access to traffi trashs for years in the course of the last five or ten don't have those and people became accustomed to those. so it's important to have that overall conversation. ecology will be there and public works and we might want to invite public health because i know in my neighborhood, some people don't have trash accounts didn't they'll use public trash cans as their way of getting rid of reffuse. that's businesses and private individuals. that's one. two, supervisor p earningeskin,e add me to the hear on 5g. we can't have direct conversations because we're on the same committee because we had some conversations from individuals that are here today and talked about making a commitment to having a hearing on that to revisit some of the
6:18 pm
decisions that had been made in terms of the location. i think it's an important conversation to have. how can they be located and the process by which -- i think that's and important conversation to have and i know we'll hear from the public today so add me as a cosponsor. the rest i submit, madam clerk. >> supervisor stephanie? >> mr. president, that concludes the introduction of new business. >> madam clerk, to public comments. >> it's time to hear public comment and you may address the supervisors for up to two minutes in. subject matter jurisdiction of the board and you can comment on
6:19 pm
the minutes and comment on item 25. but my advice is that you not comment on the updates on the progress and implementation, status of the united states department of justice, recommendations regarding the reforms within the police department. it will be part of my job to interrupt you as that public comment was fulfilled. if you would like to use the overhead projecting, state sfg tv and you can utilize it. remove the document when you would like the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. >> ok, go ahead. >> i'm back again. i'm pau paulette brown. i have a picture of former gavin newsome, where he says i know who killed their son, the police know who killed their son but with no evidence and witnesses.
6:20 pm
how do we change the system so we can get witnesses to come forth? and the other thing, i go to the police commission every wednesday and i talk about this same thing, about our children being murdered on the street. and i have nothing -- we table about police killing our children, but we don't put enough emphasis on community violence, also and i think there should be more emphasis on our children killing each other. i also talk with megan rore of the police department and they were talking about getting a placard for my son. i've been here for 14 years and i think if the estimation is out there, and our kid's posters are put up, if the perpetrators see their victim that they murdered,
6:21 pm
it will make them think twice before they murder again. you know, there are several, several unsolved homicide of people of colour and mainly african american young men. and i think that we who put more emphasis on this community violence so mothers like myself can heal. i go through trauma everyday. i have children left that i worry about. i have grandchildren, seven grandchildren that i worry about. and two on the way. i grieve for my son. he was 17 years old shot down because he was helping someone else, helping neighbors down the street. i live in district 5, he was born there and he died there. and nothing has been done about my son. the community, they helped but they can only do so much. i put these posters up and sometimes i don't see people
6:22 pm
want this little black face up on the pole but my son was my son and my son was a little white boy with blond hair and blue eyes, i don't think i would be going through this, not like what i've been doing for the last 14 years. we need justice for our murdered children and get us a bench out there or something to look at something left of our children. we need this done. thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. george wooding, sfsn and you want to thank the supervisors for postponing the vote on g5. i also want to say faster is not always better. sf will have to install hundreds, if not thousands of new antennas to make 5g work. 5g frequency has a much shorter
6:23 pm
frequency range than g4. per the new dpw amendments, 190 190-90, many telephone polls will have up to four, 5g antennas and cell phone towers can be six feet from home. 133 is an overreach of san francisco's oversight of telecommunications. the ruling accelerated the development of antennas in the -- i'm sorry, the deployment of antennas in the public right-of-way. san francisco will be helplessly in this oversight of 5g
6:24 pm
antennas, requiring only a minimua rateof way. these cell phone towers can be batched so dozens could be approved at once in a mild radius. many cities have decided not to use 5g antennas as tests have shown that the 5g frequents could be harmful. as we are doing, please review current studies and examine fiber optics. >> i'm mark ruger, taxi driver. the city has a long history of letting the taxis history down didn't let me give you one example. in 2011, when uber was operating
6:25 pm
an illegal limousin service and lytt didn't exist, the mta shot down a staff proposal for a universal taxi app. we still don't have that app. i bring this up as one example, to point out that medallion purchasers are the victims not only of un-foreseen circumstances but of bad policy decisions, incidentally which the mta profited handsomely from. medallion sale's program netted them according to their own statements, $63 million. reimbursed these medallion holders. you see them coming here week after week after week and i'm sure you understand their desperation? don't let them down. this is the right thing to do. thank you.
6:26 pm
>> the only reason i'm here, i am driving 33 years and i put 1.5 million on this leg. don't you think that's enough? you tell me. 33 years, 200 miles a day and more than 1.5 miles. come on, guys, wake up. i get sick and tired. i want to leave. board of supervisors, if you buy your medallion didn't didn't nobodand nobody wantsto buy, thn didn't pay me back. do i die behind this cab? if i die, you guys are
6:27 pm
responsible. city and you guys are responsible. i'm here fui need more than two. what should i do? how many more years i should drive? until you carry my dead body to cemetery and then you'll be happy? what will happ happen to my fam? two weeks ago cab driver happened and what happened? he didn't get shit from you guys. shit. he has a child back home. we don't get nothing. the only thing on my right, i'm not digging for my money. it's my right.
6:28 pm
thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, i'm evelyn engle and i'm here to speak on behalf of the san francisco taxi worker's alliance to say that we support these medallion holders who come here week after week and describe their hardship asking or the city to buy back the medallions and we support them 100%. i want to add a little bit of why the city owes this to the taxi drivers. back in 2012, a company called sidecar launched in february of 2012, they were the first company that used individual people to drive their own personal cars without any regulation. lyft launched in may of 2012. uber, at the time, was using a licensed limo vehicles,
6:29 pm
exclusively. the cpuc did not launch a rule making until december of 2012. san francisco allowed -- >> can you speak directly into the microphone. >> -- nine or ten or 11 months to pass without an effort to regulate these vehicles. and the result of that has been the cpu stepped in and they didn't march in and snatch regulation out of san francisco's hands. they were basically handed it on a silver platter by inaction, which i believe was deliberate. and in the middle of that critical year, on august 1st, 2012, the medallion sales program was made permanent resulting in -- it was doomed to fail. so i'm asking you to pay attention to what you have up leashed, which is unfettered growth of ube recollections and lytt and human suffering for the
6:30 pm
people that believed in san francisco and bought a medallion, merely for the right to operate a taxi cab. thank you. >> next speaker, thank you.
6:31 pm
>> they knew they were lying and they almost got kavanaugh who is completely innocent. this is not right. under the old testament. you have had two or three witnesses and now we know kristine blazey-ford is no good because you learn what her character was like in high school, sleeping around with all of the boys and kavanaugh got straight a as and didn't party. he was virgin and you stay married until you die, one woman, that's what god says and they almos almost got rid of th.
6:32 pm
three would be stoned to death. jesus said, it's written in your law that the testimony of two mep imen is true, my father beas witness and referring to dut deuterotomy17. you should read the bible, homosexually is a shame and you're promoting it. >> thank you, next speaker. >> hi. we are back again. >> i'm one that purchased the taxi medallion and we keep
6:33 pm
coming back and back and we are asking for our money back because there's to business. no business. the sfmta has to be responsible for that and they didn't prohibit us. so basically, guys, believe me, if you drive in the city, you don't drive but we drive. friday and saturday nights, there's to people on the streets. where are all of these people? i don't understand. i don't know if you're aware of that, the young generation, they don't go out like before and restaurants are closing down and taxis don't make money and i think uber and lyft, they don't make money but the amount we pay for the medallions, right, so they don't care. they can quit any time they want but we cannot quit. because if we don't pay our medallions we go for foreclosure and our credit history will be damaged for seven years. that's why, guys, we keep coming back and back and please do
6:34 pm
something about it. push sfmta to keep their promises. it's so simple. just give us the money we put and then let sfmta figure out what to do with the medallions. it's so simple. thank you. >> next speaker. >> i started as a free man and got trapped into buying this medallion because it was the only way to drive my own car. the pilot program fails, i can take back my medallion and get my money back. now after no medallion sold, i work as a slave. each of them gets money out of me and nothing to leave for the financial pain.
6:35 pm
i would say each benefits if i failed to pay my loan. a credit union would get a medallion paid by the interest they collected from me and s thr the fraction of the payment i make, i'm not the only one would got screwed. medallion countries and religions, my brothers and sisters who purchased these medallions, they need your help. is there anybody who has got belief in fairness and clear consciousness and people do the right thing, except th. in reality, this program has failed. please give us our money back, after neglect and abuse, we deserve to get our hard-earned money back again.
6:36 pm
thank you. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm a driver and i come in here every week and i see your guy's face and you heard that everybody again and again the same boards and we want our money back. didn't you guys, i am sure to receive the mta report for the first fly quarters. you am telling you again, mta put you guys in the darkness, behind the wall didn't he is hiding from you. they are wrong. you know what, they are wrong? they are lying about 7%. i tell you, they are increased the business, 37%. but for who? not for me, not the people working to purchase the medallion but for the company. i am very upset!
6:37 pm
they're not working for us, believe me! they're working for company. i tell you last time. your guys should kind a record. because they keep everything as they look and i ask why you lining down 17 cabs? you know what they say to me? it would be good because the people are not coming out, they are coming out the cab laying down front in the sidewalk. this isn't my job to make it look good. please, we have all in here for one reason, even this business tomorrow gets multimillion dollar medallion. we don't want to. we want to get out. these people, we want to get out. we want our money back. the mtas are happy and
6:38 pm
increasing the business and leave them to be happy. we want to take off. this is what we asking for. next week and in other weeks -- >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm an environmental scientist as well as diamond heights and i would like to see san francisco roll out 5g in a safe and responsible way. our federal representatives, ane all introduced legislation for local control, nol telecom. congressmen and that etc etch es joined by jackie spare introducing hr530, the rights of state and local governments,
6:39 pm
actions by the federal communication's commission and wireline, broad-ban development -- excuse me, deployment by removing barriers to infrastructure investment. it invalidated the third to accelerate the deployment of 5g small cells throughout city. the order and declaratory ruling shall have no effect. san francisco is listed as supporting this legislation and there are 52 cosponsors of the bill including all of the bay area members of congress. on june 27th, 2019, senator diane feinstein restored local control over infrastructure act of 2019. a senate companion bill to hr530 and it would similar repeal rules and government control over telecom infrastructure. this bill is cosponsored by
6:40 pm
charles schumer from new york and senate bill 2012 is supported by the conference of mayors, the communication workers of america, association of counties, league of california cities of public work's association. republicans, meanwhile, have -- is that it. >> thank you, next speaker. >> good evening. i previously spoke here before about the health effects of 5g and most of the people on that side of the railing gave me the same attention that they're giving me now, looking at cell phones. so i'm going to stick to the legality of the situation. verizon asked for and received permission to install 4g in the city of san francisco.
6:41 pm
they camouflage well into the background. i've written to every supervisor, the district attorney, the state senator asking one simple question and that question being is, why did they receive permission to install 4g and are installing 5g? how else do i know? they're installing it in a 5g pattern, basically in a one-to-three block radius. and unlike 4g, that's the way they are deploying these throughout san francisco. how else do i know?
6:42 pm
verizon said they're installing 4g and he told me this is 5g and has nothing to do with 4g and that is his verbatim comment. my question is why are they allowed to deploy and install 5g antenna? >> thank you. next speaker. still waiting. >> simple question. >> before i begin my time, i think that everyone here has
6:43 pm
left kids and families at home and dinner on the table. you can begin my time but but when you're looking at your kindergarten teacher, that is so disrespectful, put your phones away and face us. i'm 32 years old and terrified t.i'm here to talk about 5g, wee living in an environment that is 95% different and america approaches health, medicine and food in general very differently from other developed countries. now we take an innocent until proven guilty approach with drugs and ingredients in our foods and we allow many harmful greens in our food, medicine, skinscarskincare and cleaning ps that europe would never permit because they do their due diligence before allowing drugs on the market. in fact, over the last 20 years,
6:44 pm
america has banned only 30 ingredients in our skinscare and cleaning products, whereas europe has banned over 1,000 they view as unsafe. let that sink in for you. other developed countries know that decisions that impact the citizen's health should be viewed through the lense of guilty until proven innocent when health and well-being are at play and know citizens are not lab rats and should not be tested on. our health is not your experiment and we were not created to be bombarded by ems, every 100 to 200 yards and within six feet of our apartment at a rate causing flocks of birds in new york to drop dead on the streets at a rate causing queen bees and the queen never leaves her hives to leave when a 5g tower is near her home. please do not allow sanfrancisco residents to be lab rats for fatter calls, messages and internet. please represent us, your residents and push for real
6:45 pm
extensive research that definitively proves 5g is safe for all of us. thank you. >> thank you. network speaker. next speaker. >> i have been asked by supervisor that if you don't need to speak, there are a lot of people -- we're all tired and have been here a long time. >> excuse me. i was going to have everybody raise their hand if they're here for supporting local control, not telecom, so you can see the people who are here and if you don't need to speak, then don't. >> gotcha, thank you. >> miss sobey, i can multitask, go ahead. >> i'm here about the 5g didn't i think if you would listen to me because you've been on your cell phone the most. so just to let you know and i appreciate the lady behind you and her attention. so this is the book you might want to look at, it's 5g,
6:46 pm
awareness and accountability and i'll read something that robert f kennedy said. he went to visit a person who was an environmentalist leader and the leader said, i want to show you something and he took my cell phone and put his cell phone on top of a beehive and when his phone rang, all of the bees came out, and even the queen bee. i'm asking for you to listen and to consider the dangers of 5g and thank you, i appreciate your attention and yours. thank you. >> she's wearing a maga hat? >> i would like to put that on the overhead, please.
6:47 pm
>> my name is sandra campbell. i worked in san francisco for 29 years and i catch the bus for 29 years. the morning that i forgot my clipper card, i got on the bus and asked for a cour courtesy r. i did not avoid paying my fare. i've been paying it for 29 years and this ticket is almost $200. and i can't get anything from the muni and i would like a response because i talked to them today and every ten days is going up before it gets to $1,000. i have no income.

6:49 pm
we're going to come in numbers more and more. you're going to delay us and we'll delay you. if you look around at the cab drivers, how fortunate are we, first of all, as born and raised in san francisco and being white, and being involved, how lucky are we? if you look at the percentages of the cab drivers, they aren't from here. they came here with dreams and hopes and worked very hard for dreams and hopes. and what do we do? we back them in a corner and we say, this is your only chance at your dream. the dream has now failed didn't we come here every week and we get the same results. nothing. i understand that this is not an easy situation. but i come here and i waste my
6:50 pm
time and money. we got here at 2:00 and staged a peaceful protest and i want to thank all of the of th drivers t did come. i'm not here to scold anybody. i'm not here to say you're wrong. it is not an easy situation and i understand that. but we need to step up and solve our situation. i aperture. am tired and i've said this, what do you want? i don't have to raise my voice. you know what's right and what's wrong. you have taken away dreams of people and their families. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, everyone. i've been a taxi driver 23 years

6:53 pm
>> good afternoon, everyone. same story. as everybody knows in this justice hall, even the supervisors and even the public knows that the taxi industry is call gone. there's nothing left. i don't know what delays you tor this justice didn't how many more people do you want to die and with a stroke and with suiciding themselves because they is a bigger and serious problem and i wish before -- we feel like we got in the net, like a fishes. the fish, they struggle but they cannot get out and that's what we are feeling like, short breathing in our life, short breathing day-by-day and we lose our sleep. so i wish you could count on
6:54 pm
these people and bring them into the justice. why can't that justice -- why has i been six years and we are coming everyday and we are getting worried about everything. we're separated from our fames families and kids because everybody needs the financial ability to stay and your kids and family will stay with you otherwise. everybody live your lives and please, we are relying on you guys and take this seriously and bring them to justice so we can see the brightness of the life. we're suffering and i appreciate it. i don't speak very good english, but just that my subconscious pushes me to come here and ask. it's not that i'm begging. i'm coming for justice. it's karma. we've been almost done and the
6:55 pm
good thing is coming to us, i feel that, but the karma will get you guys, too. karma is a bitch and won't leave you alone. >> thank you. next speaker. >> i'm charlotte halifax and i want to thank supervisor peskin for revisiting 5g and i want to share a letter that was sent to you by katherine dodd, but it's been signed by 23 neighborhood and martun association and signed by over 200 people in san francisco in under two weeks. a 2018 study by the u.s. national toxicology program on rorodents to clarify radio frequency radiation, frf shows long-term exposure to rfr from 2g and 3g cell phones is associatessed with an elevated risk of cancer and warns the public should take pragmatic steps to reduce exposure.
6:56 pm
