9:00 am
work rate that contractors report to osha. lost work rate is when injury results from days away from work, restriction or assignment away from work due to the injury. part one on the nonfatal injury report, there's only three questions. if the contractor can answer based on osha, they don't have to go further. if they don't prequalify, there's a part two, with four questions, and if the contractor can answer no to all four of those questions, they can prequalify. for those contractors that don't prequalify on those two steps, we developed a consultant with the experts to evaluate a contractor's safety performance and its procedures.
9:01 am
the first part looks at those same injury rates and illness rates that we talked about before and they can earn up to 90 points in the procedure on that based on a good safety record. second part is we ask them to submit their safety documents and procedures. they can get up to 50 points for having all the correct documentation. then our expert can evaluate their documentation -- it's all in your materials. i'm not going to try -- we'll see if greg can keep up with the slides. a matrix where our expert looks at the documents or scores them as being below standards, meets standard or better than standard. what we're trying to do is promote in the industry a
9:02 am
culture that promotes workers, citizens, and city employees. the next component deelz wials osha violations, things that supervisor peskin brought up, in particular, the fatality that occurred, that contractor had a number of citation appeals that were stretching on for a period of time. and the prequalification process that we have right now doesn't look behind that, and both the controller's office and the supervisors suggested that we should look more closely at osha violations. and in -- you know, the long time construction law, in looking at the responsibility determination, it's my view that it's in the purview of the
9:03 am
commission to look at all facts available to us regardless of where it is in the adjudication process with ceqa. the important part in that responsibility cases is that to -- contractors provide due process, we are as we're providing due process in two places. when they submit their information, we're saying submit a copy of your citation. if you've appealed it, submit a copy of everything you submitted to appeal it. and further, if you'd like to write us an explanation further explaining the explanation and circumstances, we'll consider it. in this, we'll have our expert safety consultant do an evaluation and a score. the final decision is up to the manager and his designee. >> excuse me. should i wait or ask a
9:04 am
question? >> i think he's almost at the end. >> i'm almost done. >> okay. >> the final thing is should a contractor not be determined prequalified, so they're not qualified to bid a project, we're requesting a hearing before a neutral evaluator, and they can present a case to try to overturn the decision. the scoring sheet's in your packet, the slide goes through it all in more detail, but i recognize you don't have time at this point, but i'll conclude here and be happy to answer any questions. >> so what you were saying is that now with what we have in place, this contractor that had a violation, but it was pending or had not been caught, that he had some prior incidences? >> right. if it's not a final
9:05 am
determination by osha, we don't look to see what's going on. and there's a recognition with the supervisors or controller that that's not adequate to protect the public safety. >> okay. so you don't look behind it. that means he's out. >> if a contractor -- no, if a contractor gets a citation and appeals it, it may be on peappl for a long time, and the process now, we don't look until there's a final determination by osha. our office, in a final determination, we can look at all the facts and make our own determination independent of what osha was doing. >> so he would not be qualified? >> we would evaluate the circumstances and score it, determine whether they're appropriate or not. it's not a yes-or-no answer. >> so even if it's pending, you, then, would do an independent investigation or
9:06 am
evaluation? >> yes, ma'am. >> okay. all right. >> and ultimately, the contractor is deemed qualified or not qualified to present their case. >> and one of the rhines that we wanted to bring it in front of you is we may have some contractors who may fail the prequalification, want to come to the commission and bring it up. but we just want to let you know the purpose that we are moving in this direction is we want to make sure that we provide all the workers, contractors have a really sound safety program, and so that's why we -- we're working with the risk manager, city attorney, all the other chapter 6 departments, the board of supervisors, to come up with a process so that if we do have another fatality, we have done some due diligence and make sure that safety was on the
9:07 am
forefront of who we selected to perform the work. >> so this is a question either for harlan or the councsel because i read this very quickly because i wanted to hear what was being said. so this is strictly about making contractors get these jobs safer. this does not affect -- other than having a better contractor source, this is not going to affect extra rules on the work site or anything along those lines. this is scrutiny that -- >> this is strictly scrutiny during the hiring process. it set a floor -- it sets a floor, that we don't want to be contracting with people below that floor. >> okay. got it. again, i'm going to say again that i wish that the folks that represent people and the folks
9:08 am
that go down when there's an accident and the business representatives and the folks that represent the engineers and the folks that were hurt on the job apart of the stakeholders -- is part of the stakeholders meeting. >> thank you. >> i just want to point out in your example is what should go into safety plan. we do want to make sure they do a safety plan, but we can get into that. >> any other comments, questions? >> thank you. >> any comments from the public? may i have a motion? >> move.
9:09 am
>> second. >> all those in favor? opposed? the motion carries. >> thank you, randy, for making that fit. >> could you read the items for closed session? >> clerk >> clerk: yes. [agenda items read] >> is there any public comment on the items that we're considering in closed session? seeing none, may i have a
9:10 am
motion on whether to assert? >> move to assert. >> all those -- oh, excuse me. all those in
9:11 am
9:12 am
in this san francisco office, there are about 1400 employees. and they're working in roughly 400,000 square feet. we were especially pleased that cleanpowersf offers the super green 100% clean energy, not only for commercial entities like ours, but also for residents of the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services they offered and we're now encouraging our employees who have residence in san francisco to sign on as well. we didn't have any interruption of service or any problems with the switch over to cleanpowersf. this clean power opportunity
9:13 am
reflects that. i would encourage any large business in san francisco to seriously consider converting and upgrading to the cleanpowersf service. it's good for the environment, it's good for business and it's >> i came to the san francisco public utilities commission as a san francisco fellow. as a sf fellow i was in financial planning where i had the joy of working for a me. >> part of the financial planning that sets rates. >> amy is just incredibly kind. one of the most generous and good-hearted people i have ever met.
9:14 am
having her assume pe as as supes very helpful. this was my first job out of college. amy supported me every step of the way. i felt like i can do this. >> i have a staff i manage. we have a complement that joins us once a year to help us. they give them the chance to learn financial matters. >> amy would it is for an hour or hour and a half going through these complicated financial things with you, patient. >> i find my strength in sitting down and walking through the project, how can i help you? they appreciate that. it means that you are giving time to them. i hope or interns will be the
9:15 am
new leaders. >> amy made should be we were well trained. >> she gave me mangoes. i went home and ate them. the next day i said i like these. two days later there was a crate, 3 36 manning 36 mangoes. >> she embodies public service in everything she does and the way she does her work. it was great having her as a supervisor. >> she is not in it forehead lines or awards. that is making me glad she is getting an award. the huge ilty, dedication and integrity and wisdom she brought, that is public service. >> my name is amy.
9:16 am
i retired earlier this year. before that i was the rates administrator. >> are we ready? okay. five, four, three, two, one. here we go -- whoops. roll it. [applause] >> the hon. lond >> the hon. london breed: it is trans awareness month in san
9:17 am
francisco. just have a seat and ignore the reserved seats signs because everybody for the reserved seats signs are probably behind me. happy trans awareness week in san francisco. we need to do it bigger. let's do a month, and this is where we are, celebrating so many amazing things, so many amazing accomplishments. but we also know, sadly, that our trans community all over the country is under attack. just recently, sadly, we shouldn't be surprised, but the president has rolled out some new discriminatory plan against our trans community, trying to
9:18 am
take away millions of dollars of federal funds from our cities throughout the country. and we are of course, in san francisco style, going to continue to fight back time and time again against the discrimination that continues to attract -- attack our trans community here in this city. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: we understand, more than anyplace else, despite the differences that we may have, that our diversity is our strength. that is what makes san francisco such an incredible, unique place. and i'm proud that every single time this president tries to put forth a discriminatory policy, we come back harder and badder than ever with more investment, with more policy changes, with a new approach to doing things. the fact is this didn't happen
9:19 am
because of us, it happened because of you. it happened because we have incredible leader like senator scott wiener and supervisor rafael mandelman who continue to lead the charge. it happens because of people who make sure we are making the right investment. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: now more than ever, we have to be bold, and i want to really thank mickey callahan for being here. because when i put out the forms last year to make the training and initiatives and other things possible so that people who work for the city and county of san francisco can have the appropriate training to work with our trans community, that we make changes to our documents so people can choose whatever they want to
9:20 am
identify with on our forms in the city, she was a leader in moving forth that effort, so thank you, mickey, for being here to celebrate with us today. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: but i will tell you, one of the proudest things that i think san francisco has done is to put forth not only millions of dollars of investments in organizations that not only serve our community, but trans home sf will really be a game changer for our community when it comes to supportive housing. we see, saddly, that our trans community is 18 times more likely to experience homelessness than any other population in the city, so we have to be deliberate about the
9:21 am
investments that we make to make sure that we change that. and so thank you so much for all of your work and advocacy. when i first became mayor, and we had that initial meeting, we talked about -- tony, you remember -- not just housing and homelessness, but investment in the arts, investment in resources to make sure that we as a city aren't just talking about what we support, we're putting our money where our mouth is, and we've seen record numbers of investments. i'm excited about the future of san francisco, and i'm excited to be here with each and every one of you today, and yes, i wore the deliberate colors of the flag. i wore my pink on my shoes and my white on my ears to let you know how proud i am to be here
9:22 am
in san francisco at this moment, celebrating a resilient community, one that represents san francisco so well in how we continue to push the envelope on policies that really not only support this community but support all communities that continue to be left out of what prosperity should be for all citizens of this city. and so i want to thank you all for continuing to shine a light on issues of equity that need to be addressed in san francisco, and i want to really thank claire for her leadership and her hard work and commitment. and i also want to acknowledge that we have other elected officials here today to support this incredible occasion. thank you so supervisor matt haney for joining us as well as treasurer jose cisneros.
9:23 am
i think i we're not
9:24 am
only funding trans programs, but that we're doing it in an equitable way. so you know, san francisco has really had a long history of championing the community, and we've been a beacon of hope.
9:25 am
so this morning, when i was thinking about what i wanted to share -- it wasn't that -- i was reminded of a quote by robert f. kennedy that says each time we're asked to standup for an ideal or strike out against injustice, we send forth a tiny ripple of hope. and i see that san francisco in these times where folks are under attack, black folks are under attack, immigrants are under attack, trans folks, lgbtq folks are under attack, san francisco can be a beacon of hope. so if we want to have better investments, it starts with recognizing and creating awareness. so we kick off this month filled with wonderful events. we have the amazing trans film
9:26 am
festival, spear headed by shawnna that's been a prominent fixture in our city, and we'll get to hear from her today. we also get to kick off our trans home, which is a $2.3 million investment in our community, which will include rental housing and subsidy for our community. [applause] >> and also through the leadership of supervisor mandelman, we'll be doing the board of supervisors first trans leaders recognition and accommodation day this month through city hall. and lastly, you know, there's a lot of events to share, so i won't go into all the detail. but we have our trans day of remembrance, which, you know, is often a very sad day. this year specifically, we've lost more and more black trans women. i know for many of us in this
9:27 am
room, we've been going to these events year after year, and we continue to see the same challenges. so today, i want to commit my office, with the support of the mayor, to really focus on how we can end violence in our communities. we are grateful that san francisco has done incredible work on this, but we know that we need to do more. and as we look out to the rest of the country where we continue to see such loss of life, it's important that we remember that we can be that change. so as we move forward, i really want to recognize, and i'll bring her up later, nicky colma, who's been leading the charge. nicky? [applause] >> wow. i have a lot of notes here. i don't know how i thought i'd get through them all. you know, so as the mayor
9:28 am
mentioned today, trump again came out against lgbt health care. it seems like he has something against fridays and trans people. it's like every friday, there's something else. and so i just want to remind folks, because i think this can be a scary time, that outside of even november, that san francisco and california will continue to protect our community. and so regardless of what happens in washington, you will be protected. we will stand together, and we will make change together. [applause] >> so in closing, you know, i really want to encourage us all to get involved and encourage our allies to be a part of this change. we know that being open about your love and respect and value of trans co-workers and friends and partners is key to shifting the landscape of violence that
9:29 am
our community faces, and that also starts with policy and our elected officials. so as kennedy said, we'll move forward with a ripple of hope, and i hope today is just one moment of that, and i really appreciate you all for being here. and with that, i would love to introduce our first speaker who's going to share a little bit more about our trans home and has been a leader of change, miss tony newman from st. james infirmary. [applause] >> i am so excited to be here. i wrote a book in 2011 called "i rise," and it was in mind that transgender people can get power and rise. and i see that san francisco is the only city in the country who's financially supported trans home and safety and housing, and that deserves a round of applause. [applause] >> i would like to thank mayor
9:30 am
breed for your support, the supervisors for their support, especially rafael and matt. matt has been very supportive to st. james, and we're thankful to him. and i would like to thank larkin and their team. i want to announce that we've hired the trans home team. the social worker is matthew peda. would you stand, please? [applause] >> the housing navigator is camden carter. [applause] >> my bilingual navigator is jessie santos. [applause] >> we're also in touch with john mckinley, who's the housing project manager at t t.g.i. justice manager project.
9:31 am
we can help you immediately or with your own apartment. we're here to serve you with the community, so come to st. james starting december 1. we're not quite ready. we have to train these folks. they just got hired yesterday, so come to st. james starting december 1 with your needs, and we will do the very best we can to serve you in the capacity as your ambassadors. thank you. [applause] >> are we ready to get our community housed? yes. i also want to do a shout-out to aria saheed who's leading our cultural district. aria, thank you for all of your work. so next, we're going to move on, and it's my honor to introduce someone who was in the office and has been leading
9:32 am
the charge in trans and lgbt policy on the state level, our state senator, scott wiener. >> thank you, claire. i also want to acknowledge aria saheed who we honored as our district 11 woman of the year, so thank you, aria, for all you do. you know, we've made a lot of progress, and we tend to focus on the challenge because it's important, and we have to overcome them, but sometimes we need to step back and recognize where we've been. in 2011 when mark leno authored the program to extend health care to trans people, it was
9:33 am
lambasted by fox news. fast forward to 2012, when we were able to get health care to extend full coverage to trans people in san francisco. we braced ourselves for this explosion, and you could have had a pin drop. that's just in a decade. that shift was extraordinary. but we know there's still huge challenges around poverty and unemployment and homelessness and around the violence. and the epidemic of trans people and particularly trans women of color who are being brutally murdered all across the country and living in fear. and people should not be in fear to walk down the street, and yes that is the atmosphere that we have for so many trans people in this country, and that is unacceptable. and you have to call out the elephant in the program.
9:34 am
part of the problem is there is lack of trust in the criminal justice system in the trans community, and it is well earned mistrust, and we have to change that. and this year, we were able to pass legislation, and i want to thank toni and st. james infirmary for sponsoring it, to provide that when a sex worker is reporting a violent crime, they can't be arrested for sex work, because -- [applause] >> -- when we talk about keeping people safe, and keeping trans people safe, the last thing we want is if i go to report i was being assaulted, raped, or kidnapped, or i saw someone getting assaulted, raped, or kidnapped,
9:35 am
that they're afraid to report it, that creates a community of fear. we're working to pass legislation to ensure that trans people who are incarcerated. that if they choose, they can be incarcerated and housed in the housing that they choose, not their birth gender. we're going to continue to work -- i want to thank the amazing trans leaders who make all of the work we do in city hall and in the capitol possible. and the fine -- another challenge i want to leave you with is we need to help elevate more trans people into high leadership in this society.
9:36 am
[applause] >> i would never have thought that we still would not have a transgender member of the board of supervisors. we have never had a trans state legislator in california, but we might change that. so i know we have a lot of work to do, but thank you, everyone. [applause] >> so speaking of leadership, i want to recognize my team. we're a small and mighty team. hal craigo and mateo pearson. we're also taking on a training officer to train all our departments. i know it's only one person, but we're going to do our best. i also want to recognize our amazing trans advisory
9:37 am
committee who advises our office as well as the mayor. to our trans advisory committee members, if you could raise your hands. give a little love to them. [applause] >> thank you so much for your leadership. so now, it's my honor to introduce someone who's been doing incredible work both as a director of community health projects, formerly a.p.i. wellness center, but also leading the charge for trans day of remembrance, trans march, trans visibility day. i don't know how she has the energy she has, but please welcome nicky colma. >> thank you, claire. good afternoon, everyone. my name is nicky colma, and i work for the san francisco health center, formerly known as the agency a.p.i. wellness center, and i oversee our
9:38 am
programs and community engagement of the organization. so i'm very honored to be here with everybody and speaking here, you know? i came to san francisco in 1989, and i was right behind mark leno when they were doing all those initiatives to -- to give health care for all the city employees. and i wasn't wearing glasses then, and now i'm wearing glasses coming back here. so -- but i just wanted to let you all know what's going on, the contribution that we're doing. you know, i've been doing a lot of events for my community, and this one -- this one event is something that every time it comes near, i always have to think about if i want to really spearhead it and make sure that it's happening because i think it's something that we just don't want to have it anymore, you know? it's the transgender day of
9:39 am
remembrance, and for many of those who don't know, the transgender day of remembrance started in 1989 by transgender advocate gwendolyn smith to honor the memory of her friend, rita hester, who was killed in 1988. and this day is to remember those who we have lost. sadly, across the country, in 2019, we have seen 22 transgender people shot or killed by violent means. 22 people of color or transgender african american
9:40 am
women. the body of b. love slater, 23 years old, a trans woman of color, was found on august 23. her body was badly burned, and she had to be identified with dental records. this hasn't stopped. so i would like to invite all of you to join us this coming november 20. it's going to be a city event. we have a march from city hall to u.c. hastings, where we held it last year, as well. it's going to be at 5:30 to 6:00 for the march and a celebration at 6:00 at u.c. hastings. and i would like to invite folks to come to our annual trans giving event. i think it's official that san francisco was the very first
9:41 am
city that had a drop-in center for the transgender community, and that was trans pride, so that was trans at that time. and we do this wonderful brunch for our community on thanksgiving day itself from 11:00 to 2:00, and we'd love to see folks who could like to serve or like to help out or just, you know, talk with all the clients that we have at trans tribe. i'd like to also mention the trans pride board is here, who we just brought somebody new on board, our president, carol and anjalie. we're going to rock s.f. pride and make sure we are there, so everybody, thank you so much. [applause] >> so before we continue, i would love to just take a moment of silence and really
9:42 am
honor all those folks that nicky mentioned that we've lost this year. now, i'd like to thank tom horn for helping us make this event happen. it would not happen without his leadership and support. standup, tom. okay. [applause] >> he doesn't like the attention. and charlotte, too. thank you so much for your ongoing support and work. these events are done with love, and it takes resources to make them happen, so thank you so much. so speaking of resources, we have a huge champion for our community and our lgbt community. our district 8 supervisor, and the only out lgbt member on the
9:43 am
board. please welcome supervisor raphael mandelman. [applause] >> supervisor mandelman: thank you claire. and as others have said, thank you so much for the extraordinary work that you and your office do. and thank you, tom horn. the mayor was whispering to me before we started that tom horn always comes through. thank you. [applause] >> supervisor mandelman: i guess i'll begin where senator wiener finished, in that harvey milk knew how important queer representation is, how important it was for people to come out, and for people to be elected and serve. i think i had said at other events i look forward to the day when i am speaking after a trans elected supervisor. we need to do that, and it will
9:44 am
happen soon. we have other queer people who are serving on school boards and other places, tom temprano and mark sanchez. since we're quoting great elected american officials from decades ago, i often think about hubert humphreys quote, about the three groups of american citizens. in san francisco our actually in the united states in 2019, i think the moral test of our queer community and certainly here in san francisco, the moral test of our community is how we treat our trans community. and until recently, i think we
9:45 am
all know -- and continuing to this day, by that measure, we are failing, and we have failed. but i do want to thank this mayor, london breed, for the focus she has brought to the trans community and the unprecedented achievements she has made, but we need to do more. these shelters particularly around homeless and the workforce events we are doing is so important to this community. but we need to do these things not because the trans community is in need but because the trans community is our strength. certainly as queer people, we know our movement began with trans folks. the reason that donald trump finds repeated reasons to attack the trans community is because the trans community is everything that donald trump is
9:46 am
not. and ultimately, donald trump will lose, but every single trans person in this country presents a fundamental threat to what donald trump is all about. so the future is trans if we're lucky and if we work for it, which i know we're going to do. have a fantastic month, everybody. [applause] >> wow. the future is trans, and for now, we'll start with a month, but -- so i also wanted -- we have one more speaker, but i want to recognize our lgbt commissioners, and our department heads. if folks could wave. i see you back there, naya, being all shy. [applause] when we talk about pathways to leadership, the supervisor spoke, they're a great way to be on one.
9:47 am
so come talk to me. it's my pleasure to introduce two people that have been doing incredible work in the arts, shawnna veraga and shawn dorsey have been leading the way for the trans festival and the fresh meat festival every year. and last week, shawn, who's on our trans committee, met with the mayor about the need to preserve trans art in our city. we come to san francisco with the hope to be able to share that with the rest of the city. and with so many of us displaced, it's really important that we invest in art so that we not only remember our history but that we preserve the stories and art that make our community so important. so with that, please welcome shawnna veraga and shawn
9:48 am
dorsey. [applause] >> excuse me. i -- i can't right now. speaking to the mayor. okay. bye-bye. hi, everybody. my name is shawnna verago. i'm the artistic director of the san francisco transgender film festival, and i'm so honored to be here today. i'm so grateful to be here today. i came out in the 1980's, and so when i go to trans events, whether it's the san francisco transgender film festival or fresh meat or anywhere else where a lot of trans people gather, i'm usually the only person from my generation of friends that's still alive because of suicide, hiv/aids,
9:49 am
poverty, murder. and so i feel very driven to continue our battles and our -- and our fight against our avowed enemy. you know, it's interesting because i'm primarily an artist, and i'm been thrust into being an activist. and i've heard so much inspirational wisdom here today, and i would like to thank -- i have a long list of gratitudes, but i do want to thank senator scott wiener, supervisor mandelman, everyone at the office of transgender initiatives, and especially the mayor's office and mayor breed for helping us continue to thrive, to increase our budget. we -- when we started, we --
9:50 am
one of the codirectors had a credit card, and that's how we were able to rent the theater. we applied for years to get grants. we couldn't get a grant to save our lives. and so through grit, through punk rock toughness, really, we managed to survive since 1997. and we're the longest running transgender film festival in the world. and we started here. we started in the mission district. we've screened over 300 films since that time, and i do think, as we know, our communities are under attack, but that the san francisco transgender film festival, i think we kind of all have to know what our expertise and our lane is. and i think there's these political geniuses behind me. but we need to change the
9:51 am
narrative of how we're viewed in our culture. and i think we've proven since we have been here since 1997 that trans people won't be silenced, we won't be erased, and we're going to continue the fight through the arts, so thank you very much. [applause] >> hello, everyone. i just want to add -- i don't know if you shared that the trans film festival was founded at the world's first trans film festival, so i feel like we should give ourselves a round of applause. hello. i'm shawn dorsey, and i'm the director and founder of the fresh meat festival. we're all about investing in the creative expression and
9:52 am
cultur cultural community in the trans community. right now, i want to invite all of us to take part in a creative expression exercise. so i want everyone to please repeat after me. i love trans people. [repeating] >> except say it like you're not so sad about. i love trans people! i love gender nonconforming people! and as we talk about the continued genocide and murder of black trans women, that's an equation. so the other side of that equation is please repeat after
9:53 am
me. i will invest in the well-being and leadership of black trans women. i love trans people! [cheers and applause] >> thank you all so much. please -- yes, check out our work and please come to the san francisco transgender film festival next week. it's thursday through sunday. sftfs.org. two programs are closed captioned and a.s.l. interpreted. no one turned away for lack of funds, so please join us. thank you so much. [applause] >> so it's almost that time for drinks and food. i'm sure you're all ready for it. it's friday, but i also want to
9:54 am
recognize honey mahogany from the dccc and supervisor haney's office and ana deyano and her team. [applause] >> so as we move forward, as i mentioned, we need to continue to prioritize communities that are impacted in our city and beyond. and the mayor has taken leadership and really supported mental health and housing four -- for people in our city, and that includes the trans community. and over the last year, we've lost so many to suicide. so it's really important we reach out for help, we see each other in our community because you are loved, as shawn said. we want to continue to be a part of a community that continues to grow.
9:55 am
and as i said, have a great trans month of awareness. yes, drinks. let's get drinks.

at maclaren park. we hope grants and money will be available to continue to improve this park to make it shine. it's a really hidden jewel. a lot of people don't know it's here.
