provision in the development agreement. that would restrict speech in any way. >> supervisor peskin: and ms. toppier said the tri-party agreement was incorporated by reference in the documents that are actually before this body to approve? did i miss that? >> the key obligations under the tri-party agreement including the specifications for build-out in the improvements under scenario b are in one of the exhibits of the agreement. exhibit d. >> supervisor peskin: okay. so where are the three parties and will all of the three parties testify before this body as to an agreement in concept that has not been executed, that it will in no way abridge the ability for any member of the public, including but not limited to the vendors, to

petition this government or speak to the press or anybody else freely without any reservation or encumbrance? on behalf of the killroy corporation, if you would come up here. that's the sticking point. that was the issue that almost sent this back to committee. so if you'll stand up, raise your right hand -- i'm just kidding, i can't do that to you here -- and tell me that you're representing to the san francisco board of supervisors that you'll restate the tri-party agreement to take out the provisions that we call the gag order in whole? yes or no question. >> yes. >> supervisor peskin: is there anybody here on behalf of the flower market, counsel, representative for the flower market?

>> good evening. i'm the general manage other of the san francisco flower mart representing the san francisco flower mart llc formally known as the japanese market. yes. >> supervisor peskin: and while we have you up here, as to other aspects of this negotiation that has kept me up until the wee hours of this morning, are you saying when enough? >> we are still finalizing the documentation, but the item was struck from the tri-party agreement this afternoon. >> i understand that. at a high level, relative to the words in the d.a., that are before this board, and relative to the restatement of the tri-party agreement that is not before the board because we are not a party to it, are you

conceptually sanguine? >> we are in agreement with the documentation, we just need to finalize it. >> supervisor peskin: okay. is your lawyer here? would >> yes. would you like him up here? >> supervisor peskin: yes. i didn't want that lawyer, i wanted your other lawyer. adam. okay. i would prefer the other lawyer. adam, if i could pronounce your last name i would use it, but i call you adam. >> good evening. i'm associated with the rennie law group. >> supervisor peskin: got it. so what i just heard was that your client -- and there is kind of two of them -- is conceptually okay with the agreement, but the final words have not been resolved, is that

correct? >> that is correct. >> supervisor peskin: here's a question to my deputy city attorneys, which we now have three, if we're going to pass this on first reading, we're approving a d.a. that is not final -- that's what we just heard -- how long do the parties have to agree before this enters the record? >> the ordinance itself allows the parties to modify the agreement in nonmaterial ways, even after the -- even after the board finally act to approve the development agreement. there is not a deadline to modify the agreement before the board act, although, the board could certainly tell the parties

that you're not willing to pass it on second reading on january 7th unless there are documents in the clerk's file by a certain date. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, councillor. that was the answer i was looking for. thank you, adam. some day i'll learn your last name. with that, colleagues, thank you for your indulgence. and i respectfully request that we pass this on first reading, subject to discussions and words written by a bunch of fancy lawyers that better be done by 7, january, 2020. hold on a second. toppier, what? no go ahead. better say it now. ms. toppier would like to say one more thing. >> i want to make sure the amendments get included. >> state them, please.

>> the amendments include a typographical error in the development agreement ordinance. the clarifications and refinements of the development agreement including the establishment of the dispute resolution process. the annual payment of the 200,000 soma street cleaning funds for 10 years being paid into a fund. and then -- that's it. those are the amendments. >> supervisor peskin: colleagues, i'd like to move these amendments that have within deemed by the city attorney not to be substantive. and mr. president i hope somebody will second that. >> president yee: sure. seconded by supervisor safai. so i just want to -- before we vote on this, i want to give -- if you wish, the supervisor of the district, whether you have

any comments or -- no >> no, we worked together on the amendments and thank you for the support of that and the folks from killroy. i'm supportive of the amendments and the d.a. >> president yee: thank you. this motion for and accept the amendments. >> clerk: just for the record, we're going to mark supervisor ronen as absent for that vote. >> president yee: yes, yes. also can i back up a little bit? i should have done this earlier. supervisor ronen asked me to excuse her from the rest of the meeting because she's dealing with an emergency in her district? motion to excuse her? seconded by supervisor safai. with no objection, then i'll excuse supervisor ronen.

so what am i doing? we have the amendments passed, so colleagues, i guess we should take roll call. on the amended item. for 23 and 24. >> on 23 and 24 as amended. supervisor mar aye. peskin aye. preston aye. safai aye. stefani aye. walton aye. yee aye. fewer aye. haney aye. mandelman aye. there are 10 ayes. >> president yee: okay. so the ordinance for 23 and 24 pass on first reading. >> thank you, colleagues for

your indulgence. >> president yee: sorry, was that -- did somebody say something? >> i said thank you supervisors for your indulgence. >> president yee: okay. let's go to madame clerk, let's call the adoption without committee reference, items 30 through 37. >> items 30 through 37, unanimous vote is required for resolutions on first reading today. alternatively, a member may require a resolution to go to committee on first reading. >> president yee: any of my colleagues like to sever any items? okay. seeing none, colleagues, can we take these the balance -- same house, same call? >> supervisor haney: did you -- can i sever 32? >> president yee: 32? sure.

okay. can we take the remaining balance of the items same house, same call? without objection, the motions are approved unanimously. madame clerk, please call item 32. >> item 32 is a resolution to urge the zuckerberg hospital administration to demonstrate a commitment to patient care by increasing attending physicians and nonresident providers to focus on physician and nurse wellness. >> supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, president yee. i just have minor amendments i received from some of the frontline workers at general hospital. i work with 1021. if you recall, the last meeting i spoke about resolution in support of primarily at that

time, the residents and intern physicians at general hospital. i wanted to add different piece ofs of this that -- pieces of that that address challenges that other people are having. one of the things we wanted to underscore, all of the parties should be working together with the department of human resources to identify and remedy sources of delay in hiring. and i that we'll take these amendments and pass this resolution. thanks again to both the folks at the hospital. dr. koufax who i spoke to about this. and is helping to explain and identify some of the solutions. and to all the cosponsors. >> president yee: i'm sorry. supervisor haney, what are the actual amendments? would you like to read it? >> supervisor haney: they're passed out i think. i didn't get -- [laughter]. i don't have a copy in front of me. you want me to read? >> president yee: just give the gist so the public understands.

>> supervisor haney: sure. there is really just adding one whereas clause that says, the nurse staffing and hiring agreed too between the city and county and san francisco states that the city will work to identify and prioritize filling nurse vacancies and actions may be included but not limited to identify and remediating sources of delay in hiring. and answer that that's the main change. >> president yee: thank you. supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: yes, thank you. i'd like to be added a cosponsor? >> supervisor safai: i'd like to be added as a cosponsor and note there is ongoing conversations with the nurses about more indepth analysis of what is happening at the hospital. so i appreciate the move to acknowledge them, but i think there is going to be further conversations about what is happening there.

i appreciate that. >> definitely. >> president yee: i would like to be added. this is a motion to make amendments on this resolution? is there a second? seconded by supervisor stefani. i'll take this without objection. can i take this item same house, same call as amended? okay. so this resolution passes. thank you very much. >> clerk: today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following. on behalf of supervisor walton, for all of the district 10 constituents murdered in 2019. and on behalf of supervisor peskin, for the late mr. mike english. and mr. sar kissian. >> so, colleagues, that brings

us to the end of the agenda. is there any further business before us today? >> clerk: that concludes the business. >> president yee: have a wonderful safe holiday and i hope you guys come back all refreshed to roll up your sleeves for next year. thank you very much, we're adjourned.

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

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

city hall, and on a really clear day, i can see salesforce tower. we just have a wonderful neighborhood that we enjoy living in. being back in the neighborhood that i grew up in, it's a wonderful, wonderful experience. now, we can hopefully reach our goals, not only single mothers, but single fathers, as well, who are living that. live your dream, live your

we spoke with people regardless of what they are. that is when you see change. that is a lead vannin advantage. so law enforcement assistance diversion to work with individuals with nonviolent related of offenses to offer an alternative to an arrest and the county jail. >> we are seeing reduction in drug-related crimes in the pilot area. >> they have done the program for quite a while. they are successful in reducing the going to the county jail. >> this was a state grant that we applied for. the department is the main

administrator. it requires we work with multiple agencies. we have a community that includes the da, rapid transit police and san francisco sheriff's department and law enforcement agencies, public defender's office and adult probation to work together to look at the population that ends up in criminal justice and how they will not end up in jail. >> having partners in the nonprofit world and the public defender are critical to the success. we are beginning to succeed because we have that cooperation. >> agencies with very little connection are brought together at the same table. >> collaboration is good for the department. it gets us all working in the

same direction. these are complex issues we are dealing with. >> when you have systems as complicated as police and health and proation and jails and nonprofits it requires people to come to work together so everybody has to put their egos at the door. we have done it very, very well. >> the model of care where police, district attorney, public defenders are community-based organizations are all involved to worked towards the common goal. nobody wants to see drug users in jail. they want them to get the correct treatment they need. >> we are piloting lead in san francisco. close to civic center along market street, union plaza,

powell street and in the mission, 16th and mission. >> our goal in san francisco and in seattle is to work with individuals who are cycling in and out of criminal justice and are falling through the cracks and using this as intervention to address that population and the racial disparity we see. we want to focus on the mission in tender loan district. >> it goes to the partners that hired case managers to deal directly with the clients. case managers with referrals from the police or city agencies connect with the person to determine what their needs are and how we can best meet those needs. >> i have nobody, no friends, no resources, i am flat-out on my own. i witnessed women getting beat,

men getting beat. transgenders getting beat up. i saw people shot, stabbed. >> these are people that have had many visits to the county jail in san francisco or other institutions. we are trying to connect them with the resources they need in the community to break out of that cycle. >> all of the referrals are coming from the law enforcement agency. >> officers observe an offense. say you are using. it is found out you are in possession of drugs, that constituted a lead eligible defense. >> the officer would talk to the individual about participating in the program instead of being booked into the county jail. >> are you ever heard of the leads program. >> yes. >> are you part of the leads program? do you have a case worker? >> yes, i have a case manager.

>> when they have a contact with a possible lead referral, they give us a call. ideally we can meet them at the scene where the ticket is being issued. >> primarily what you are talking to are people under the influence of drugs but they will all be nonviolent. if they were violent they wouldn't qualify for lead. >> you think i am going to get arrested or maybe i will go to jail for something i just did because of the substance abuse issues i am dealing with. >> they would contact with the outreach worker. >> then glide shows up, you are not going to jail. we can take you. let's meet you where you are without telling you exactly what that is going to look like, let us help you and help you help yourself. >> bring them to the community assessment and services center

run by adult probation to have assessment with the department of public health staff to assess the treatment needs. it provides meals, groups, there are things happening that make it an open space they can access. they go through detailed assessment about their needs and how we can meet those needs. >> someone who would have entered the jail system or would have been arrested and book order the charge is diverted to social services. then from there instead of them going through that system, which hasn't shown itself to be an effective way to deal with people suffering from suable stance abuse issues they can be connected with case management. they can offer services based on their needs as individuals. >> one of the key things is our

approach is client centered. hall reduction is based around helping the client and meeting them where they are at in terms of what steps are you ready to take? >> we are not asking individuals to do anything specific at any point in time. it is a program based on whatever it takes and wherever it takes. we are going to them and working with them where they feel most comfortable in the community. >> it opens doors and they get access they wouldn't have had otherwise. >> supports them on their goals. we are not assigning goals working to come up with a plan what success looks like to them. >> because i have been in the field a lot i can offer different choices and let them decide which one they want to go down and help them on that path. >> it is all on you. we are here to guide you. we are not trying to force you to do what you want to do or change your mind.

it is you telling us how you want us to help you. >> it means a lot to the clients to know there is someone creative in the way we can assist them. >> they pick up the phone. it was a blessing to have them when i was on the streets. no matter what situation, what pay phone, cell phone, somebody else's phone by calling them they always answered. >> in office-based setting somebody at the reception desk and the clinician will not work for this population of drug users on the street. this has been helpful to see the outcome. >> we will pick you up, take you to the appointment, get you food on the way and make sure your needs are taken care of so you are not out in the cold. >> first to push me so i will not be afraid to ask for help

with the lead team. >> can we get you to use less and less so you can function and have a normal life, job, place to stay, be a functioning part of the community. it is all part of the home reduction model. you are using less and you are allowed to be a viable member of the society. this is an important question where lead will go from here. looking at the data so far and seeing the successes and we can build on that and as the department based on that where the investments need to go. >> if it is for five months. >> hopefully as final we will come up with a model that may help with all of the communities in the california. >> i want to go back to school to start my ged and go to community clean.

>> it can be somebody scaled out. that is the hope anyway. >> is a huge need in the city. depending on the need and the data we are getting we can definitely see an expansion. >> we all hope, obviously, the program is successful and we can implement it city wide. i think it will save the county millions of dollars in emergency services, police services, prosecuting services. more importantly, it will save lives.

>> my background is in engineering. i am a civil engineer by training. my career has really been around government service. when the opportunity came up to serve the city of san francisco, that was just an opportunity i really needed to explore. [♪] [♪] i think it was in junior high and really started to do well in math but i faced some really interesting challenges. many young ladies were not in math and i was the only one in some of these classes. it was tough, it was difficult to succeed when a teacher didn't have confidence in you, but i was determined and i realized

that engineering really is what i was interested in. as i moved into college and took engineering, preengineering classes, once again i hit some of those same stereotypes that women are not in this field. that just challenged me more. because i was enjoying it, i was determined to be successful. now i took that drive that i have and a couple it with public service. often we are the unsung heroes of technology in the city whether it is delivering network services internally, or for our broadband services to low income housing. >> free wi-fi for all of the residents here so that folks have access to do job searches, housing searches, or anything else that anyone else could do in our great city. >> we are putting the plant in the ground to make all of the city services available to our

residents. it is difficult work, but it is also very exciting and rewarding our team is exceptional. they are very talented engineers and analysts who work to deliver the data and the services and the technology every day. >> i love working with linda because she is fun. you can tell her anything under the sun and she will listen and give you solutions or advice. she is very generous and thoughtful and remembers all the special days that you are celebrating. >> i have seen recent employee safety and cyber security. it is always a top priority. i am always feeling proud working with her. >> what is interesting about my work and my family is my experience is not unique, but it is different. i am a single parent. so having a career that is demanding and also having a

child to raise has been a challenge. i think for parents that are working and trying to balance a career that takes a lot of time, we may have some interruptions. if there is an emergency or that sort of thing then you have to be able to still take care of your family and then also do your service to your job. that is probably my take away and a lot of lessons learned. a lot of parents have the concern of how to do the balance i like to think i did a good job for me, watching my son go through school and now enter the job market, and he is in the medical field and starting his career, he was always an intern. one of the things that we try to do here and one of my takeaways from raising him is how important internships are. and here in the department of technology, we pride ourselves on our interns. we have 20 to 25 each year. they do a terrific job

contributing to our outside plant five or work or our network engineering or our finance team. this last time they took to programming our reception robot, pepper, and they added videos to it and all of these sort of things. it was fun to see their creativity and their innovation come out. >> amazing. >> intriguing. >> the way i unwind is with my photography and taking pictures around the city. when i drive around california, i enjoy taking a lot of landscapes. the weather here changes very often, so you get a beautiful sunset or you get a big bunch of clouds. especially along the waterfront. it is spectacular.

i just took some photos of big server and had a wonderful time, not only with the water photos, but also the rocks and the bushes and the landscapes. they are phenomenal. [♪] my advice to young ladies and women who would like to move into stem fields is to really look at why you are there. if you are -- if you are a problem solver, if you like to analyse information, if you like to discover new things, if you like to come up with alternatives and invent new practice, it is such a fabulous opportunity. whether it is computer science or engineering or biology or medicine, oh, my goodness, there are so many opportunities. if you have that kind of mindset i have enjoyed working in san francisco so much because of the diversity. the diversity of the people, of this city, of the values, of the

talent that is here in the city. it is stimulating and motivating and inspiring and i cannot imagine working anywhere else >> 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. 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 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. i retired earlier this year. before that i was the rates

administrator. [cheers and applause] >> let's give it up for the tree all right. good evening, everyone. around of applause for the young people theatre company and its director. they were amazing. they will be performing the little mermaid next month at the museum. bring your family, come out and support. all right. let's get everybody up. are we ready to light this tree? [cheers and applause]
