victor young. if you submit public comment via email, it will be included as part of the matter. written comments may be sent to city hall 1, doctor carlton b. goodlet place, san francisco, california, 94102. that completes my announcements. >> thank you so much, and can you please read item number one? >> an emergency ordinance to temporarily require private employers with 500 or more employees to provide emergency leave during the public health emergency related to covid-19. >> thank you. any opening comments? >> thank you, chair ronen. colleagues, as you may recall, this item is to move forward one

amendment that was made to the public health emergency league ordinance at last week's roll committee meeting. the amendments that we're considering to the public health emergency leave ordinance applies to section 5 and it pertains to allowable uses of emergency leads and only applies to employees who are healthcare providers and this amendment was crafted to balance the need for healthcare providers and similarly are healthcare workers to be able to take time off when they're sick or need to quarantine and balance that need with the urgent need of maintaining our healthcare wor workforce. to thithis provides leave whose

employers can opt out of the leave expansion. and it goes without saying that healthcare providers should gott go to work when sick or quarantined. this ordinance will give them expanded pay leave to use if they're sick or quarantined. we know that pfizer sent a letter asking for an exemption but we disagree that healthcare providers should be exempt. there's been discussion with the hospital council and northeast medical services, a major nonprofit healthcare clinic that has a significant place in my district. if healthcare employers are offering paid leave, it will count towards the additional 80 hours and to ensure we don't

short staff this ordinance. its uses are incredibly narrow and only apply in cases where it's in the interest of public health for healthcare providers not to go to work. and it does not allow uses of public health emergency leaves by healthcare providers for a border range of uses that are allowed for workers at businesses with more than 500 employees that are covered by the public health emergency leave ordinance. so colleagues, i thank you for your support in the public health emergency leave ordinance last week and also that the full board last week and without your support, i'm moving this further amendment that would provide additional leave for healthcare providers in a more similar

range of uses. >> thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor stephanie, my comments? >> no, i don't, thank you. >> why don't we open this item up for public comment. mr. clerk, is there any members of the public who wish to speak on this item? >> members of the public who wish to provide public comment should call the number and present 1 and 0 to line up to speak. >> please allow me to check the cue. >> no problem. >> no callers wishing to speak.

>> with that, public comment is closed. i'm happy to make a motion to put this to the full board to the committee with full recommendation. can we take a role call on that motion. >> on that motion, supervisor stephanie. >> aye. >> supervisor mar. >> aye. >> chair ronen. >> aye. >> the motion passes and in matter will be recommended as the committee reports to april 14th board meeting. >> thank you so much, mr. clerk. is there any other items? >> that completes the agenda for today. >> fantastic. fastest meeting of all time. the meeting is adjourned. have a good day everyone.

>> we can sweep by in front of a house in a matter of seconds. the only people who don't like it are the people who get the tickets. >> this is a street sweeping sign. don't let it get you. pay attention. [♪] >> in the morning, when we first go out, we start at six in the

morning or seven in the morning. we call that our business run. we sweep all the main arteries of the city. after 8:00, we go into the residential areas and take care of all the other customers. >> the idea with the street sweeping program is to get the leaves and the debris off the ground. >> we -- for not only appearance and cleanliness but safety as well. >> we will get anywhere from 2- 7,000 pounds per truck depending on the season and the route. the street sweeper and the choice of the use right now is an error sweeper. they have a motor in the back and it blows winds down one side and carried by air into the hopper. what will mess this up is new -- large pieces of cardboard or sticks or coat hangers. anything that is more than 12 inches. the tube on the tracks is only 12-inch diameter.

>> people asked what they can do to help to keep the city clean. there are people that letter. leaves are one thing. any of the garbage you see is from people being careless. [♪] >> one cars parked in the way, we can't sweep under the congress. to deal with this, we have parking control officers that are provided by m.t.a. and they go in front of our sweepers and pass out citations to people that are parking the wrong way. once the sweepers sweep past in san francisco, you may park behind the street sweeper. we all know parking is a big issue. north beach hasn't been swept since the eighties because of opposition. but we are getting a lot of

requests to sweep. basically our trucks are 10 feet wide. we stick the brooms out and they are may be 12 feet wide. >> there are a lot of blind spots when driving a large truck pedestrians and bicyclists and cars. and navigates this 22,000-pound truck through the city. >> we involve the public here -- to adhere to traffic laws. these routes were developed back in the eighties around the capability of the sweeper. things have changed since then so we have to adapt. luckily, public works is embracing technology and working on a system to alter our maps. this is literally cut and paste -- cut and paste. we will have a computer program soon that will be able to alter the maps and be updated instantly. we will have tablets in the checks for all of the maps. we will send a broom wherever it needs to go and he has the information he needs to complete

the safety. what is needed about these tablets as they will have a g.p.s. on it so we know where they're at. you do get confused driving along, especially the inner sunset. recall that to the be made a triangle. >> thanks for writing along with us today. i enjoyed showing you what we do and i urge you to pay attention to the signs and move your car and don't litter.

>> good afternoon. welcome to the land use and transport community. this is april 20, 2020.
