one file forward and sending the other file back to committee. i don't think that i would support that, and look, through the president, to supervisor fewer, we share a number of things in common, including the fact that we are both small landlords, and indeed, landlords have, as a matter of contract, the ability to prohibit smoking, whether it's cannabis or cigarettes or anything else as a matter of contract. indeed, i think that -- well, i know that i do that, and you may or may not do that, as well. but we may have long-term tenants that we inherited that don't have that in their contract. but you -- i am profoundly aware of the fact that, structurally, there's a huge amount of turnover in tenants

in san francisco, and there are a very small minority of tenants who don't have that provision in their leases, and those are mostly elderly, mostly fixed-income tenants who had contacted me, and i don't want to say their names on the record, but it is all public record, and i've been remarkably moved in the last week by what i've heard from them. so, for me, if the file is duplicated, would still make a motion to send both items back to committee. i do it with a heavy heart because secondhand smoke and the physical health impacts are a real issue, and my respect for president yee and yourself is a real issue, but in the intervening week, i have reversed myself for the second time, and i think 25,000-plus

votes, i can probably count it on one hand in 20 years. >> president yee: i'm going to make a motion to end debate by calling the question. so are there any seconds? >> supervisor stefani: second. >> president yee: second by supervisor stefani, second by supervisor fewer. so madam clerk, please take the roll on the call to the question. >> clerk: so mr. president, the -- this motion can be taken once all members have had the opportunity to speak. i'm looking at the roster, are there any -- to my staff, are there any names on the roster? >> president yee: yeah, i actually see supervisor walton. sorry about that, supervisor walton. i didn't catch that name -- catch you. would you like to say something? >> supervisor walton: no worries, president yee. i was just going to state that

my hope, as we talk about the concerns that need to be addresses with making sure that we protect tenants, with making sure that there are no unintended consequences, that this body would commit to doing everything that we can to keep folks from being harmed by secondhand smoke and come up with a policy that does not allow for folks to smoke in multiunit housing buildings because it is very harmful. i know we need to work through some details, but we still need this board to commit [inaudible] and i hope we can do that as we move forward. thank you, president yee. >> president yee: roll call, please. >> clerk: okay. so mr. president, you have a motion to terminate debate and supervisor stefani seconded it. >> president yee: and supervisor fewer.

>> clerk: and supervisor fewer. okay. on the motion to terminate debate, this item has an eight-vote threshold. [roll call]

>> clerk: there are 11 ayes. oka okay. and with that, there is a motion made by supervisor peskin, seconded by supervisor preston, to send this item to committee. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: there are seven ayes

and four noes with supervisors yee, mandelman, safai, and fewer. savikata >> madam clerk, can i make a motion to rescind my vote? >> supervisor peskin: this is on the rescission? >> clerk: motion to rescind the vote made by supervisor safai, seconded by supervisor stefani. on that motion -- [roll call]

>> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> president yee: so could i have a roll call on the vote again to send -- the motion is to send it back to committee, so could i have a roll call, please. >> clerk: with the original mover and maker, mr. president? >> president yee: yes. >> clerk: okay. and just for the record, that would be supervisor peskin and supervisor -- >> president yee: preston. >> clerk: preston, thank you. on the motion to send item 14 to committee -- [roll call]

>> clerk: there are six ayes and five noes with supervisors stefani, mandelman, yee, fewer, and safai in the dissent. >> president yee: so the motion carries with a 6-5 vote. madam clerk, i just want some clarification, and maybe it's too late. >> clerk: yes. >> president yee: when i ask for end of debate and hold the question, the question is not for the item itself?

>> clerk: so, mr. president, if supervisor peskin had not made his motion to send the item to committee, which was immediately pending, then it would have been on the matter itself. but because there was already a motion that you stated that was seconded, and it was properly before the board, that was the next question to stop the debate around and take up the vote on it. >> president yee: thank you for the clarification. madam clerk, let's go to item 15. >> clerk: item 15 is a resolution to support the hiring of health care or other essential workers amidst an unprecedented global pandemic by indicating the board of supervisors non-binding intent to appropriate revenue generated by a november 2020 overpaid executive tax ballot measure. >> president yee: okay. madam clerk, please take roll. >> clerk: on item 15 --

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, president yee, and yes, this is an appeal of a ceqa determination for 350 san jose, and although it has been withdrawn, i understand that we need to take action to affirm the ceqa determination as well as taking public comment on that action. i will say just a few words about the project for colleagues and the public, if folks are interested. the project is a significant addition to an existing four-unit, three story building, historic resource building around 1870, to threw a total of 13 units in four floors. a group of neighbors reached out to my office during the summer, and they were concerned about the impact to neighboring properties and jury commons park, which the property backs up to, and the replacement of now vacant rent controlled

units. the project has been modified significantly to address concerns. specifically, the historic facade is being retained, and the historic structure is being moved 23 feet toward san jose avenue to minimize the shadow impacts on jury commons. the project will also replace the four rent controlled units and would also modify to replace the proposes parking with an a.d.u., which will be an additional rent controlled unit. the decks have been scaled back from the neighboring property lines to address providely concerns, and the project team and neighbors have been able to reach various agreements regarding access to various properties and privacy. i want to thank jacob on my staff for his work in bringing this case to resolution, and i will move that we -- that we

affirm the planning department's approval of the planning department review of the project and move that we take public comment before we vote on that. >> supervisor peskin: second. >> president yee: okay. moved by supervisor mandelman, and seconded by supervisor peskin. supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: thank you, mr. president. i would like to thank you for your work on the board, supervisor mandelman. congratulations to you, and congratulations to your staff. >> president yee: okay. thank you. so madam clerk, before we take the motion, let's take public comment on the withdrawal of the appeal and the motion to affirm the planning department ease determination. are there any members of the public who wish to speak at

city supervisors to avoid the conflict that comes associated with limiting people's free speech, specifically, the marina times, but i certainly don't think -- >> clerk: sir, that item is not -- >> -- that we should be commenting -- should not be commenting -- sh commenting on these meaningless construction projects. we have all these things occurring, and we've managed to create this look where public comment isn't perspective. as a member of the public and as a constituent, i wanted to, in contrast with the mayor's glowing to wantary -- >> clerk: no -- commentary --

she stepped up. she brings years of experience as a professional urban and community planner and sensitivity to issues concerning the most vulnerable in our community including communities who are disenfranchised. she's also the mother of a young child and cannot express enough howie need to make public service and civic engagement more accessible to parents. thank you, tina, for stepping up to this important new role in helping to bring partiality to the duty and know you'll fulfill your duties with diligence and want to thank members of the rules committee supervisors

>> supervisor: without objection the motion is approved. congratulations, tina. okay. let's go to item 40. >> clerk: item 40 and 41 were considered by the land use committee monday december 7 and forwarded as committee reports. for item 40 it has a new title and read the edits on this. an ordinance to amend the administrative code to direct the department of disability and aging services to report striking the word buy -- bi biannually and report to the mayor's office and added and

other departments in the long title. >> supervisor: okay. colleagues, this legislation will address a gap we have in our city in applying for future housing for seniors and people with disabilities. we need options to address the fact that people with disabilities on fixed incomes cannot qualify for affordable housing which requires being at or above 50% of the annual income. it's currently $45,600 for a household of one person. the average retiree receives less than $1500 a month in social security benefits. that totals less than $18,000

annually. even higher income earners are running into trouble because of unanticipated health issues as well as rapid living costs. without affordable housing options we know seniors and people with disabilities spend a high percentage of their fixed income on housing costs and will forego necessary medical care as well as basic needs such as food. we have failed to build sufficient affordable housing especially designed for seniors and they have unique needs. in accommodating people with disability and disability and we look the comprehensive city plan for future development of housing, affordable or otherwise especially designed for these populations. in 2019, the board of san francisco passed a housing bond

of $150 million dedicated to senior housing. we need to ensure that funding is actually going to house the people we intend to serve. this legislation will require the city through the leadership of the department of disabilities and aging services to conduct a regular housing needs assessment for seniors and for people with disabilities so we can better understand what we should be planning for. and what policy decisions we can make to advance our goals. it also asks for a rent comparison to ensure that the rents we are charging in our city match the incomes of those we are trying to house. this will require a collaborative effort among agencies including the mayor's office of housing and community

development, planning, the mayor's office of disability and supportive housing among other in the city. this initiative has been a long process and i want to thank the director and human services agency for being willing to push outside the department of disability and aging services work portfolio to fulfill the important work. i'd also like to thank the dozens of community organizations and advocates who have been fighting hard for the senior housing -- excuse me for a second. for senior housing and housing for people with disabilities such as senior disability action

and freddie and teresa flanwic, jim portioca. the chinatown community development center. self-help for the elderly and other organizations. your work is important and we'll all continue working with departments to ensure the first needs assessment will be thorough and effective. thank you, colleagues. i hope we can count on your support. madame clerk, please call the roll. >> clerk: on item 40. [roll call]

>> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> supervisor: without objection it will pass on first reading. thank you supervisor ronen, mar and feurer for co-sponsoring -- fewer for co-sponsoring and want to acknowledge the work of my staff.

who worked tireless on the issue. madame clerk let's go to item 41. >> clerk: item 41 a resolution to initiate a landmark designation under article 10 planning code for the engelside sun dial park. assessor's parcel block no.6917b lot no.oo 1, situated within entradecourt. >> supervisor: i want to thank the supervisor for their co-sponsorship. .

initiate the landmark designation of the ingleside terraces sun dial and sun dial park. it's a working sun dial and it's charming and it has is a gem to the west side of san francisco. this park area was brought so many neighbors during the covid-19 pandemic and children play on the structure and race around on their bikes and triangles all year round. i know some of you have not had the pleasure of seeing it in person. i hope you can come out for a future visit one day and get

some fresh air and it's not a good playground but come out. i'm sure supervisor elect melgar will give a personal future since the sun dial's outside her park. so sundial park is on public land under the jurisdiction of the department of public works. the ingleside terrace home owner's association have acted as the steward. i want to thank them over the years to maintain the open space for generations to enjoy. i also want to extend my gratitude to san francisco heritage for the extensive new

jersey of west side neighborhood history and helping initiate the process. thank you and hopefully we'll see this as a landmark this year. >> clerk: a very important point of information on this, supervisor peskin you did add your name as a co-sponsor at committee and the clerk recorded it in the minutes but the way committee reports work is the agenda is published a week earlier. yesterday your name was added to it won't change what you'll see on the actual board agenda. i wanted to let you know because i know you know that but for other members of the board who add their names to committee report for co-sponsorship and you don't see it on the agenda, it might throw you for a moment but don't worry we're catching it. >> supervisor: most important thing is to acknowledge it.

>> clerk: that is true, mr. president. on item 41. there are 11 ayes.

>> supervisor: without objection the resolution is adopted. okay. madame clerk let's go to item 42. >> clerk: item 42 through 44 were considered by the rules committee at a regular meeting on monday december 7 at 10:00 a.m. and were forwarded as committee reports. item 42 is an ordinance to amend the administrative code to expand the boundaries of the american indian cultural district and provide additional details regarding the cultural and historical significance of the district and to affirm the ceqa determinations. >> supervisor: supervisor. >> i just wanted to say briefly and thank supervisor mandelman for working with the american indian cultural district and adding an important part of the

there are 11 ayes. >> supervisor: okay. without objection the ordinance passes on first reading. once again i want to thank my chief of staff for working on this piece of legislation. she's been very busy. madame clerk, i think we're heading into roll call or introductions. >> clerk: that's right. time for members to introduce new business and we'll start with supervisor mar. colleagues i have one update today and asked to submit a formal letter of inquiry for contractors totalling $43.2 million at projects valued at $2.2 billion.

the community program has been an important tool to support the needs much neighborhoods most impacted by puc operations through funds through workforce development, education and environmental justice and land use and revitalization and small business opportunities. however, as part of the investigation into corruption the general manager has now been charged with accepting a bribe while seek a major puc contract. this is only the latest in a long list of charges that have undermined the trust of the public and city government. restoring public trust starts with transparency and that's the goal of the letter of inquiry to ensure public funds are used

appropriately city agencies are held to the highest con standards to meet the needs of the community and residents. . >> clerk: thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor peskin. >> i have several items i'd like to speak to and will attempt to be as brief as possible. first i'm introducing a legislation urging the california democratic party to amend by-laws to allow non-citiz non-citizen to run to delegate members of the party not merely to be appointed but elected and last year the democratic party adopted the resolution to expand representational access to the party for some 5 million

non-citizen residents of the state of california and that was sponsored by the san francisco latino democratic party and long list of individuals and organizations including the party's own chicano caucus and the democratic club, assembly member chu and others. that resolution should have led to an amendment of the party by-laws to allow non -citizens to run for delegate seats and died on the cutting room floor. some of the party's strongest advocates on immigration and other important issues continue to be precluded from running in the upcoming delegate election. and if there's any time for the california democratic party to

change its stance on this matter, now would be that time and the party's failure to act i think sends a harmful and exclusive message. while dreamers like my colleagues are eligible to be appointed, they've made it remarkably clear they would rather run for a seat and try to win that seat and that sentiment is fundamentally democratic and i think admirable. i hope that we vote for this resolution next week and that it reaches the desks of the party chair, rusty hicks and the rules committee chair and they move quickly to amend the party's by-laws accordingly albeit too

late for the individuals and frankly millions of others to qualify as candidates in the upcoming elections. secondly, colleagues, i'm introducing a resolution in support of assembly bills 15 and 16 introduced by our own assembly member david chu yesterday as the body reconvened in sacramento. the two bills are designed to keep renters in their homes as we enter a new new phase of the pandemic with unprecedented elevated transmission rates and i don't need to tell any of you or members of the public that we are far from being out of the woods and i think we're all hopeful that the vaccine is a

reason for optimism for more than 10 million clinic -- california ans accumulating debt and on the brink and there's not a lot of optimism. i appreciate the hardship that some department owners are experiencing the assembly bill establish the framework for assistance and stimulus and new boards to deliver more to get to that next week as well. next i'll be introducing zoning controls that high density in residential and mixed used districts maximize the districts and don't build monster homes in

certain rto districts where we really should fit the development pattern that have multi unit buildings rather than several thousand square foot monster homes and in knob hill and it's a starting point for a conversation and want to acknowledge there is a member or members of this board undertaking more comprehensive work around this issue and i join that effort and have interrim controls and finally colleagues i'm introducing a policy resolution i hope you'll adopt to prohibit the acceptance of an anonymous business improvement districts and green benefit districts of which we have one and the resolution

would urge lewd that they contain a condition and require the reporting information pursuant to the agreements between the city and these district s that are alter egos of the city. we authorize them and can terminate them as we recently din my district and the resolution also seeks to incorporate into management certain contracting standards that we hold ourselves to that we hold the city to including contracting in states that discriminate against lgbtq people and also makes these districts adhere to other city mandated laws and policies like the acquisition of surveillance

technology and we made a lot of progress on it on surveillance technology but i find it troubling that while we have made that incumbent on the police department and sheriff's department there's anonymous donations going to some entities to acquire these technologies that otherwise would be regulate the city and county of san francisco and i don't think they should be ab sent the oversight we hold ourselves to and colleagues the rest i will submit. >> >> clerk: thank you, supervisor peskin. supervisor preston. >> i'm introducing a budget supplemental to carry forth the will of the voters of san francisco and the intent of this

board that seeks to allocate initial funds nor the rent resolution and relief fund and housing stability fund. establish the funds that were unanimously approved by the board in october in addition this board unanimously approved a resolution of intent to use funds from an increase in the transfer tax for these programs. the san francisco voters by a considerable margin improved an increase in the tax through proposition i on the ballot and the budget supplemental i'm introducing today is the next step in this process. i do want to thank all those who supported proposition i which passed by a large margin despite over $5 million of negative campaigning by downtown corporate and real estate interests and thanks to the vision of the for instance voters we'll soon have revenue to the dire situation addressing

renters in san francisco. in november the comptroller's office released the budget status report where it was estimated prop i would generate $11.4 million after baseline allocations. and why we believe that may be a conservative projection we're moving to allocate the initial funds to the two programs i mentioned and to do so without delay. this is really an essential step as our city enters into a highly restrictive stay of shelter in place. there's a real fear among the people we represent that help is not on the way particularly for renters and some small prorps owners. many of whom have been unable to make rent or emergency payments because of the pandemic. the prospect of losing their home while being instructed to stay at home by public health

experts and by all of us is daunting. our state and federal governments have failed thus far to meet the housing needs of this pandemic and that's why we've made this such a priority locally. i look forward to hearing more with the state proposals and having the board lay in but in the meantime we cannot wait for the state or feds to save the day. the rent resolution and relief fund using half the initial funds from prop i revenue is the only solution to address this immediate and housing insecurity and rent debt. we recognize programs like give to s.f. have provided limited relief to date which is greatly appreciated and i appreciate the work of some of my colleagues on the board. supervisors ronen and stephanie in particular and give to s.f. but as articulated in a recent bla report on unpaid rent, nearly all the funds from that

program have been allocated already. we need to fund the rent resolution relief program now. that's what the supplemental will provide in addition in accordance with the resolution of intent, the board previously approved the supplemental will provide revenue to the housing stability fund to provide a framework for creating permanently affordable housing. the funds will provide near term and long-term housing stability. and believe it's imperative we act immediately to provide the necessary resource to get the programs off the ground. the rest i'll submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor preston. supervisor ronen. >> thank you so much. supervisor haney will do an official introduction and we worked together on a resolution

to urge governor newsom to allow play grounds to open. the scientific evidence does not show the coronavirus spread in play grounds both young children are less likely to spread and become sick from the virus ands we learn more with the virus we learn the risk of the transfer by touching something and touching your face is not as great as we once thought. as kids have been out of school for over nine months, they're suffering tremendously. they don't have places to be kids and need those places if they're to improve their physical and mental health. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor

ronen. supervisor safai. >> thank you, madame clerk. a few items today. the first item i want to talk about has a lot to do with children. children and families struggling during this distance learning and many families that can't participate because there's a pure digital divide here in san francisco. a lot of work and conversations happened in the past and asking for a hearing request to determine how many households in san francisco do not have internet service, which neighborhoods the reside in, how many have children in the unified school district and what's the racial and ethnic makeup of the households and how many are foreign born and non-english speakers and so many families struggling through the distance learning simply don't have access to the internet. i heard stories and talked to

colleagues and others that where they saw two children sitting next to taco bell to get access to the wi-fi. it doesn't mean the city hasn't done work to try to create hot spots but some families do not have access to internet and in a city the center of the technological revolution it's not acceptable families don't have access to that technology. i'm requesting that the department of technology, the mayor's office of housing and digital equity, human rights commission, city administrator, department of homelessness and housing authority and department of public works and san francisco unified school district all participate in this important hearing. the second piece of that is that i'm introducing a resolution

today that is title the true investment in the digital divide. it seeks the adoption of section 5.4 and 5.5 and 5.6 of the bocko october 2020 progress report and seeks the department of technology to provide the board of supervisors with a written cost of all sections to be implemented by june 1 of 2021. and looking at literature of all the different pieces of workings in this digital divide. the last thing and in the same vein supervisor ronen referenced we wrote a letter to the governor in coordination asking help from the mayor's office to

direct and urging the department of public health to respectfully reconsider the order to close outdoor public play grounds. as the supervisor that represents the highest number of children in the san francisco unified school district and second largest of concentration of children under 18 in the city and one of the highest concentration of latinx populations disproportionately impacted by covid-19, this is something i know given our ability to put together safety protocols and given our ability to balance the need for help and mental wellness for children with the devastating impact of covid-19 we have to find a way to balance it out we have to find way to create and open up the public play grounds. i submitted a letter asking the mayor to help coordinate

coordination and outreach to the governor. i think it's of paramount concern given the state of where we are right now. and finally, i know supervisor fewer is going to be introducing something today again about children and families in schools and i support that and the rest i'll submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor safai. >> submit. >> clerk: supervisor yee. >> supervisor: thank you, madame clerk. colleagues, tomorrow speaker pelosi will be hosting a virtual ceremony to present the congressional gold medal of honor to chinese world war ii veterans. for some here a few years back in which we recognized world war

ii veterans at the time it's a continuation and finally got the federal government to acknowledge the role that these soldiers. we were planning to have a local ceremony in san francisco and one in washington, d.c. but things had to be change. i want to acknowledge this board for support in urging the resolution. many veterans are no longer with us today. including my own father-in-law with the flying tigers. an estimated 20,000 americans serve in the military during the

wartime. due to the chinese exclusion act they were not able to naturalize and become u.s. citizens until 1943. we have a dark long history of erasing the contributions of sacrifices of those who loved and served the country. may we never forget or repeat these injustices. i also believe that my colleagues and supervisor fewer and supervisor mar served in the military during the war also. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, mr. president. supervisor fewer. >> thank you very much. i'm introducing a resolution today urging the san francisco

unified school district to develop a robust comprehensive plan for the safe return of in-person learning in accordance with public health guidelines and indicate. families have struggled with distance learning. it's not delivering the quality of educational instruction, social, emotional support and components and learning environment essential for all students and educators in comparison to in-person learning. the fact that is that we are seeing learning outcomes dramatically impacted for students particularly our youngest learners developing the building block of our educational foundation. schools have been closed since march 16, 2020. the return to plan 2021 would only return a few thousand children to schools by march 22, 2021 more than an entire year after schools closed.

nearly 54,000 students across 128 school sites depend on sfusd. this unimaginal gap year has to be the potential to be one of the worse educational nantuckets for -- inequities as a graduate myself, i fully understand the implications when students fall behind and how difficult, if not impossible, it is for them to catch up. we have had a persistent and consistent racial academic achievement gap for decades and the inability for students to form personal relationships with their teachers and fellow classmates and to fully access the curriculum has long-term negative devastating affects

particularly on those most vulnerable. this pandemic has impacted our communities of color in low-income families zprr disproportionate ways and i know public health experts are using data to operationalize a response during covid-19. what i am asking for is a similar approach for our public education leaders, experts and movers and shakers. the san francisco health officer authorized for in-person learning on a rolling basis as a a -- allowable and we need to focus on advanced learning and identifying the necessary resources and developing safety protocols and training and ensuring adequate support for educators to develop a concrete plan for the safe return to our public schools. new recommendations from the

centers for disease control place high priority on placing schools open saying schools should be the last to close and first to re-open because of the critical role they play in providing meals and support service to our children. having served in the joint select committee i have been looking at this issue from multiple perspectives and from a collaborative problem-solve ag approach. the question before us is not whether but how we can create the necessary mechanisms to re-open our schools for safety for students and staff as the number one priority. i'm calling on the school district to develop a concrete plan with input from educators and families to immediately outline any means financial, technology, staffing, facility, operations, safety, public health or others to be met through public, private,

philanthropic or city support to fill unmet needs. [stand by] .

>> clerk: supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, madam clerk. i want to talk about the issue that supervisor fewer spoke about, which is asking the govern, jr. and state public health officials and also alerting our local public health officer to reconsider the closure of playgrounds as part of the december 3 stay-at-home orders. while we agree that more aggressive orders need to be taken to keep residents safe, we need to have options for people, especially young people, children, to be able to be outside safely. we are going to continue to have retail and outdoor

shopping malls open within this capacity, and yet, within this order, there's a complete closure of playgrounds. i was on mcaulay street speaking with children and parents on the last day before the park closed. that park was recently remodelled and reopened and had provided a model of respite and safety and an opportunity in some cases to get out of a small, crowded participate for the lower polk areas for parents and the kids to be. at this point, we know that the primary transmission of covid-19 is through touching and shared surfaces have a lower risk than was initially assumed. we also know that when taking

precautions, like washing your hands and wearing a mask, the risk is lessened. i could not identify a single study that showed a playground was a meaningful source of transmission. that's why we've encouraged kids and parents for months now to be outside if possible to do so safely. kids and families need a break from being cooped up inside their homes, especially when they are living in crowded sometimes small apartments. families are already overly stressed with distance learning, having to both teach their kids and work from home at the same time. it is vital to their health and well-being, mentally, physically, and emotionally, to be out of doors and playgrounds

continue to be a safe place to do so. to continue taking necessary precautions like reducing the capacity of the playgrounds, wearing masks and sanitizers, we are able to make them safer. i've heard now from many families and a number of youth, and i hope that we can send the message, together with state legislators, together with local municipalities, cities and counties from around the state, that we are concerned about this particular aspect of the health orders, and we encourage them to reserve it. we are also going to send this to our local public health officer, who is still dr. aragon, but we will have a new one soon, and hopefully, with their partnership and all of our families and children and collectively raising our voices, that we can have this

reconsidered so that we can ensure kids and families have a safe, healthy place to be and play. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor haney. supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, madam clerk. i have an in memoriam today. i'm asking to adjourn today in memory of mary bot, who died on november 18. her fear and anxiety were palpable even to a casual observer. some neighbors called her princess leia because of the way she wore her hair in buns; it looked like the star wars character.

her passing is all the more infuryating because she didn't have to die. i and so many people could see that she was struggling. i and lots of people in my office tried to get her help. and i know colleagues and many of you had similar experiences with people in your districts. and i know that the city tried, and the way that the city tried. there was no shortage of city contacts with mary. p.o.t., e.m.t., d.p.s., sfpd engaged with her over and over again, but it wasn't enough. you see in san francisco in 2020, we will offer you services repeatedly, but if you are too sick to accept, we will leave you out there to die. we still haven't figured out

how to fix this broken system, and mary's young life is the consequence, and the loss of mary's young life is the consequence of our failure, we can and must do better. mary is vur viefed by her parent parents -- survived by her parents, her sister, her nephew, and her grandmother. may her death finally spur action to help all the other marys out on our street. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor mandelman. she was one of my neighbors in the neighborhood. seeing no other names on the roster, mr. president, that concludes the introduction of new business. >> president yee: thank you, madam clerk. why don't we just go straight into public comment. >> clerk: thank you. at this time, we are accepting comment on behalf of the public. if you're watching on channel

26, there's a signal delay, so just be aware that there will be a great pause, and we may move onto the next person, but we will try to circle back to you. the number is streaming on your screen. agenda matter that you're able to discuss, subject matter jurisdiction on the board not on the agenda, the november 3 regular board meeting minutes, and items 47 through 50, those items that are on for adoption without reference to committee calendar. and i will just say all other matters are not available for your comment today. you must address your comments to the board as a whole and not to individual committee members. we have interpreters to assist.

just very quickly, let the community know that you are here for them. mr. cosenza, you may be muted. >> yes, i'm here. >> operat . [speaking spanish language] [speaking cantonese language]

[speaking tagalog language]

>> interpreter: thank you, madam clerk. >> clerk: great. thank you to the three of you to be being here. okay. welcome, first caller. we have five members of the public in the queue and 11 members of the public listening. if you want to get into the queue, press star, three now. welcome, caller. okay. caller, are you there? >> yes. good evening.

my name is helen pelsman. hello? >> clerk: hello. >> am i on? >> clerk: yes, please make your comments. >> my name is helen pelsman. i am a member of the mayor's advisory council. i had hoped to make a comment regarding item 40, but i was a little unclear when you read through directions on whether or not i am able to do so. am i able to do so? >> clerk: no, ma'am. that item had public comment in committee already. >> okay. all right. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for calling, though. please check back if there are other items that you can speak about. >> yeah. unfortunately, i don't think we were made aware. >> clerk: thanks.

well, thank you for trying. don't give up. public comment on items typically happen in committee, so if you go to object website, you'll look at the board agendas posted there, and then, you can have time and look at items on the agenda that are posted in committee that you can provide public comment. it is very important that we do hear from you. okay. operations, do we have another caller, please? >> good evening. this is anonymous on sunshine once again. madam clerk, please present the sunshine slides on the screen. on this first slide, you can see various cases against london breed, dennis scott, and their offices. some of the highest city officials were found to be violating the law, violating

their office pledges. just last week, mayor breed was unanimously found to have violated the law by hiding -- [indiscernible]. >> -- my -- >> clerk: sir, i'm afraid your connection is coming in and out. [indiscernible]. >> -- planned future meetings. hello. can you hear me? next slide. if these messages look familiar, it's because these

text messages are referenced directly in the indictment against some kelly. there are a lot more messages that the p.u.c. has asked to delete, but you supervisors can and must question the p.u.c. finally, i want to thank the clerk and her staff who have maintained a professional attitude against me and the lawsuits that i have against the city. thank you so much. >> clerk: okay. thank you. operations, do we have another caller on the line, please? >> hello. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is gabriel medina. i'm chairman for the [inaudible] latino caucus as well as for the california democratic party and the outgoing chair for [inaudible] democratic club. i'd like to thank supervisor peskin for extending democratic committee membership to

noncitizens. on april 30, 2019, this was introduced by our l.d.c. chairman. unfortunately, we witnessed the party slow walk this resolution despite raging unanimous platitudes, and the state delegate election 21 months later. immigrants like sarah sousa will not be able to keep their seat as a state delegate. you know, folks like sarah are very courageous to be able to do this. they are risking a lot. i ask for our democratic leadership to really deeply think about that. sarah has a long history of letting all residents know that we intend to give everybody equal rights to the best of our

ability. we've done more than just signal. we believe in equal rights, we've walked the walk. we ask for chair rusty hicks and gary shea to do the same. it should not take two years to enact rights for our democratic party leadership. the l.d.c. has been doing this fo for decades. >> clerk: i believe we have eight members of the public in the queue and 14 listening. >> good afternoon. can you hear me? >> clerk: yes, we can. >> can you hear me? thank you. this is peter, executive director of library use -- peter warfield, executive director of library users

association. you can rea we can be reached at libraryusers2004@yahoo.com. as you know, my comments focus around problems that the library is continuing to suffer from and could do a lot better. but in a larger sense, i'm concerned that we are really suffering from a loss, in many respects, of responsive government in general in the city and open government in particular. where we used to be able to call on office and have a answer from some human being in that office 40 hours a week, many offices now, you can't call anybody, and while they may call you back or may not, there is no ability to simply

call when it's convenient or when you have a need. the ability to visit an office for 40 hours a week is gone. the sunshine ordinance task force is operating on a bare majority. many seats open and unfilled by the board of supervisors. there's a huge backlog at the sunshine task force so that problems that have arisen that are fresh and new and need to be adjudicated are hugely behind. they have a huge backlog, and there are many problems for people getting into meetings. from technical problems, documents not being available, government seems to just be shutting down. i hope you'll improve upon those things. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments, mr. warfield. operations, do we have another caller on the line, please?

>> linda chapman, and supervisors, we do have a way to keep people from dying of drugs on the street, and it's not rocket science. it's what used to work. when the social security administration and veterans administration gave benefits, if anybody had a drug addiction problem or their mental condition prevented them from attending to their immediate needs, housing, and food, we didn't send them a check. drug dealers are not in the business of caring, but they exploit the people who have money in their hands because they receive their cash benefits when they're not capable of using them. they become drug addicts if they were trying to self-medicate, for example, or just because the drug dealers are so kind and so generous, help them out a little bit at first. in the tenderloin colloquy that

i was involved in, yesterday, we were discussing exactly this project. the homeless that are part of your industrial complex, you don't realize the harm and oppression that they do. when i was a social worker, my trained duty was to see if we were qualified to receive their benefits, if there was something that prevented them. if they couldn't, we sent the checks to the public guardian. they had city staff who accepted the checks, found them housing, had to account for the way the money was used. when i was, a few years ago, exploring some of the nonprofits, it came up with the terrible way that they are

treating people in the tenderloin. what happened? they got the checks, and they gave the people a little money every day so they could live and not spend all the check -- >> clerk: thank you, mrs. chapman. okay. we have eight callers in the queue and six listeners. operations, let's have the next caller, please. >> hi. good afternoon. this is barry toronto. it's nice to be able to make public comment at close to 5:00 rather than at 10:00 at night. i want to bring to your attention that more foot closures have occurred among the purchased medallion holders than previously reported, and it's going to get worse before it gets better. this new system where they banned the k medallions from the airport cannot really

working. i took a purchased medallion cab this last week, and i still had to wait four hours at the airport before getting a passenger. and the other times, my colleagues have waited longer than that. the taxi business has not come back like the t.n.c. business has at the airport, unfortunately, because drivers are actually either getting picked up by friends and relatives, or they're driving to off airport parking lots and garages and leaving their cars there, so it's not a heldful situation. what needs -- helpful situation. what needs to happen is a debt relief program for holders of medallions. with this latest lockdown, business has slowed again like it did in march and april. so i'm asking that you include us in programs where they need deliveries, like -- like the

meals for seniors and others. and also, there was a program in sweden where they deliver testing kits to people's homes. so i'm asking you to help provide some more opportunities to make money in the city. thank god for vouchers for delivering blood and -- and passengers and patients have hospitals to their residences or to supportive housing. and also, i would appreciate that you -- >> clerk: thank you, mr. toronto. thank you for your comments, sir. okay. operations, let's hear from the next caller, please. welcome, caller. >> hi. my name is beshiyo tanaka, and i'm a resident of the sunset

district, and i'm also an undocumented immigrant. and often in political parties, it's been challenging to see bold, immediate action when it comes to immigrant rights, and i want to see community leaders who the lived experiences of being an immigrant be in those leadership positions. it paves the way for a more inclusive future for folks like me. i believe the immigrant community leaders who have been doing the hard work should be able to serve. i hope that other board of supervisors can support this resolution, and yeah, thank you so much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. okay. operations, let's hear from the next caller. i believe we have four callers in the queue, ten that are listening. if you want to come over to the queue, for those ten, you must press star, three.

welcome, caller. >> good evening, supervisors. my name is camille, and i'm [inaudible] for san francisco, and i'm here to to ask you to support supervisor peskin's resolution, and asking you to support leadership positions for immigrants. i don't have to tell you how much immigrants contribute to our communities. they are folks who are always working alongside all of us who are constantly working to improve our lives, and i believe they deserve the opportunity to participate in the democratic process, and that includes the ability to run as delegates of the party.

th [inaudible]. >> we've been told that the party follows through with its commitments and from the values of incluesivity that it aims to uphold. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. okay. operations, do we have another caller on the line, please? welcome, caller. >> good afternoon, madam clerk and mr. president and supervisors. my name is [inaudible], and i live in district 8, and i'm going to talk about transit issues as normally. thank you for passing the smoking ban to go back to

committee. thank you very much. >> clerk: you know that's not an item for your conversation. >> okay. sorry about that, madam clerk. >> clerk: okay. >> muni is corrupt, muni is mismanaged. muni is going to layoff over 1,000 employees, and it's going to affect service. we need the state legislators and federal legislators to safe muni. we need another stimulus to save muni. we need you to get to our state legislators and federal legislators to save muni. we need the city attorney -- hopefully he's listening -- to investigate muni and the sfmta for corruption and mismanagement. during a pandemic, muni should

be free to all people so they can get to the hospital, grocery store, and pharmacy. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, mr. chriswell. okay. operations, we have two more callers in the queue. if you are listening, this is your opportunity to press star, three, otherwise, we're going to take this group to the very end. next caller, operations. thank you. >> supervisors, again, today i have to [inaudible] that this process is fundamentally broken. we've seen [inaudible], we've seen people that have waited in line to be able to speak on an issue be unable, and that really says is they're not doing anything out of [inaudible] but this process is

not effective in allowing the public to be able to communicate with their leaders. [inaudible] to say this process has not been effective. [inaudible] and are absolutely disinterested hearing public feedback about it. that's broad based and across the board on a variety of issues [inaudible] we've discussed. [inaudible] but that's really, we know, not an effective use of your time. but time and again, you hear people like me calling in to say this process is broken, and the actual issues facing our city, we are not permitted to

comment on. it is not permitted to discuss the items that are of significant concern, and it is this silencing, whether it is our offices of our supervisors or the mayor are not available to walk in, or the offices of the mayor and the supervisors, when you call them, they go to voice mail, or you cannot access the voice mail because it is full. >> clerk: thank you, sir, for your comments. again, i will provide the same advice to you as i did a previous call. if you go to the board of supervisors website, sfbos.org, and you look at the committee calendars and see what items

are happening in committee, that really is the pressure point where you would follow along and be able to provide your public comment to the supervisors at a committee, okay? operations, do we have another caller in the queue, please? >> good afternoon. i am [inaudible] garcia. i'm an under-gran oriengraduatt san francisco state, and [inaudible] because it's important for the health of the democratic party to include [inaudible] and have immigrants run as delegates on behalf of their communities. thank you. >> clerk: thank you to the caller for your comments. okay. operations, do we have another caller in the queue, please?

caller, i think you're there. can you please project just a little more? it might just be my bad speaker system, but i can barely hear you. okay. it doesn't -- operations, can you assist me? i don't believe there's a caller on the line. we're just listening to someone's television. >> hello? >> clerk: hello, welcome. >> hi. thank you. hi, everyone. my name is kevin [inaudible] i'm here today as the vice president of the latino democratic club, and i'm calling in support of the resolution by supervisor peskin to allow noncitizens membership and access into the democratic party to run as delegates as

was worked on by the latino democratic club, our leader, sarah sousa, and gabriel molina. for year, the democratic party has not given access to our noncitizens to participate in the party as delegates, even though they're family members, members of our community, our community activists. these are people that truly makeup the community. we need to allow those voices in there to make sure that there's equitable representation, and their voices are at the forefront, heard by the leaders. i ov [inaudible] to adopt this

resolution and to change the party bylaws to allow noncitizens a seat at the table. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. okay. we have several people listening. now is your opportunity to press star, three to be sent to the queue, and i am purposely taking my time before i ask operations if there are any callers in the queue to make sure we catch anyone who is wanting to make public comment. >> operator: madam clerk, that completes the queue. mr. president? >> president yee: thank you. seeing no other public comments, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, let's go to adoption without committee reference agenda, items 47 through 50.

>> clerk: items 47 through 50, these measures were introduced for adoption without committee reference. a unanimous vote is required for adoption of resolutions on first reading today, otherwise, any supervisor may require a resolution on first reading to go to committee. >> president yee: supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: yes. if you could please sever item 50. >> supervisor peskin: mr. president? >> president yee: supervisor peskin, i believe? >> supervisor peskin: not related to this item, but i would like to, prior to the adjournment of this meeting, reopen roll call for introductions. >> president yee: okay. so for the remainder of the items, 47, 48, 49, roll call,

please. >> clerk: on items 47 through 49 -- [roll call] >> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> president yee: okay. without objection, the resolutions are adopted, and the motion is approved. madam clerk, let's go to item 50 -- call item 50. >> clerk: item 50 is a motion

to establish the 2021 board of supervisors regular meeting schedule pursuant to board of supervisors rules of order. sections 4.2 and 4.2.1 by cancelling the regular board meetings of january 19, february 16, june 1, july 6, october 12, and november 30, and all regular board and committee meetings during the spring, summer, and winter breaks from march 29 through april 2, august 2 through september 6, returning to a board meeting on september 7, and december 15, 2021 respectively through january 3, 2022, and to further suspend portions of board rule 4.2 to effectuate certain dates within the regular meeting schedule to augment the flow of business.

>> president yee: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: yes. i would like to make a motion to amend this motion as we have in many years to swap out the dates that the board will suspend its regular meeting for the thanksgiving holiday, and particularly, that allows the board to be off for the week of thanksgiving when the public school system is also off that entire week, and hope you will support this motion. on page 1, line 6, i make a motion to delete 30 and replace with 23, the dates, meaning november 23. on page 2, line 13, the same change, delete 30, and replace with 23. on page 2, insert after line

20, further move to suspend the portion of the board rule 4.2 that requires the board to meet during the week of thanksgiving and prohibits the board from meeting the week after thanksgiving, cancelling the meeting of november 23 to observe the thanksgiving holiday during the week of thanksgiving, and scheduling the board to meet on november 30, and be it. so i make that motion. >> president yee: is there a second? >> supervisor haney: second. >> president yee: second by supervisor haney. >> clerk: no, i thought it was supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: no, i was raising my hand. we would not have a meeting on november 23 of 2021, and we would have a meeting on november 30 of 2021. is that -- >> supervisor ronen: yes.

>> supervisor peskin: okay. yeah, i totally support that. >> president yee: on the motion? >> clerk: on the motion as described by supervisor ronen and seconded by supervisor haney, so item 50 -- [roll call]

>> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> president yee: so the motion to amend carries. okay. supervisor fewer, would you like -- would you and i like to make a motion to amend that there should be five meetings every week? >> supervisor fewer: they're not meeting enough or long enough, quite frankly. >> president yee: yeah, yeah. right. >> supervisor fewer: yeah. >> president yee: roll call on the item as amended. >> clerk: on item 50 as amended -- [roll call]

>> clerk: there are 11 ayes. >> president yee: okay. the motion as amended is approved. >> clerk: thank you. >> president yee: there was a request to reopen introductions. >> clerk: roll call for introductions. >> president yee: okay. so go ahead; i will grant that request. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, mr. president, and thank you for your indulgence. as we all know, what turns out to be one of the most important positions in this government, although we never knew that before the pandemic, is the

chief health officer, which position has been occupied by dr. tomas aragon, who on friday, four days from now or three days from now is going to leave to be the chief health officer of the state of california. congratulations, dr. aragon, on that. the board of supervisors has very few appointments. the 11 of us get to hire a handful of staff. we collectively, if we're lucky enough, get to hire angela calv calvillo to be our clerk.

[inaudible] i would like to have a hearing on how we choose a new public health officer. barbara garcia, who was not an m.d., held the head of d.p.h. position, and that was bifurcated. i know many of us, in the last 24 hours, has had that conversation with dr. colfax, who does not think we should merge the positions, but i would urge us to have a hearing on that in early january, and

thank you, mr. president, for that indulgence. >> president yee: okay. thank you. i guess we'll really close now. okay. let's see...where are we? madam clerk, please read the in memoriam. >> clerk: today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the beloved following individual, on behalf of supervisor mann mandelman for the late miss mary botts. >> president yee: thank you. colleagues, that brings us to the end of the agenda. madam clerk, is there any further business before us today? >> clerk: there is no further business before us today. >> president yee: okay. there is no further -- wait a minute. what time is it? we are adjourned. >> clerk: 5:16. >> president yee: good night, everybody. have a nice dinner. >> clerk: good night. drank.

[roll call] >> clerk: great. >> all right. so welcome, everyone, to our city, our home oversight committee. it is wednesday, december 9, and we are going to go to public comment. >> clerk: members of the public who wish to make public comment on this item should call 415-655-0001, access code

[roll call]

>> i'm sorry. i need to know, where are the minutes posted? >> clerk: it's posted on the our city, our home website. [inaudible]. >> clerk: it's on the main page, and on that page, there's the agenda, the meeting minutes, and then, there's a separate page. i can go ahead and send you a link. [inaudible]. >> oh, i can't abstain. that's okay. [roll call]

>> all right. so the motion passes. those minutes have been approved. i don't believe we need to go to public comment again, but it's listed here. >> clerk: so we're going to go and take public. members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 415-655-0001, access code 146-712-8211, then pound and pound again. press star, three to be entered into the queue and, when the system indicates you have been

unmuted, begin providing your public comment. you will have three minutes. checking now. there are no public comment. >> okay. we will move into item 5, committee to review department of homelessness and supportive housing proposal for immediate funding needs to support homeless services, and to hear updates from community liaison on urgent needs regarding this proposal, and possible action by the committee in response to this item. >> did we skip the bylaws? >> oh, we did skip the bylaws. let's go back to item 4. we're going to review the revised bylaws and possible action by the committee. i'm going to turn it over to laura. >> so hi. i just wanted to flag on the meeting yesterday, there was a

change to the existing bylaws. can you [inaudible]. >> so the public links work on the agenda itself, so we were able to generate two -- >> oh, i'm sorry, mary. i will provide a link on the screen. we had an update to the previous posted item, so i will share my screen to show you what that update looks like. that was the only difference from what was previously posted yesterday, so in terms of being able to vote on that today. >> great. laura, you should be the presenter now. >> so again, the bylaws are the

same as what was posted on-line that you would have been able to review yesterday. the difference from what was already posted is here in red, which relates to the general duties and responsibilities of the data officer which were provided by member nagendra and included by the committee on the use of data and analysis providing guidance to [inaudible] ocoh oversight committee and section b committees. data requests. align data requests with the strategic planning process for ocoh funds, advise committee for monitoring and data tracking outcomes as monitored

by the data oversight committee chair, and make recommendations to the committee for making data and over sight available to the public and transparent. so i can answer any questions, otherwise, i think this was reviewed last time, so it's possible for a vote. i think we do have our city attorney, jon givner on the line potentially. >> first, are there any committee members question on the bylaw in general? i think these just got posted, so is there any members that have questions or comments on the documents that just got posted and then either on the

proposed language? >> this is member andrews, and i would just say it's good to have last, as all other duties assigned, because that helps outgoing forward. i just wanted to find out who helps on these activities? >> these were actually shared with myself as chair, with the vice chair. i know that member ledbetter gave some feedback and member nagendra on the item in general, and then, we had the opportunity to weigh-in on the document as it is right now. >> thank you, chair. >> okay.

member ledbetter? >> yeah. i think it strikes a balance [inaudible]. >> member nagendrledbetter, it little hard to hear you. >> yeah. member ledbetter, it's hard to hear you. no? did we lose her?

>> is this any better? [inaudible] it's still breaking up a bit. >> okay. while member ledbetter is trying to get sound, i'll go to member nagendra. >> i wanted to say, because i initially [inaudible] with the advise of the controller's staff and the input of the chair, vice chair, and member ledbetter, so i'm certainly open to hearing what other folks think and sort of hearing this role and what the role is.

i think we need to focus on data and sort of analysis on what decisions we're making. we need to coalesce on that data with what's going to help us make decisions, and once question establish our goals in a more data driven way, but sort of be able to make recommendations and also take on duties as assigned by the chair. >> and i'm sorry. could i add one more thing, the main charge is not just to the data officer, but to the whole commission, to make data available and open to the public and make sure that we're making that available to the public in every way that we can. >> okay. member -- i do want to go back to member ledbetter. is member ledbetter still on

the line because i know she was in the middle of her comments and the sound broke up. secretary hom, do you see -- >> it appears that she signed off, but i can work with her on the side to get her back on. >> okay. member andrews and then member reggio? member andrews? i think you're muted. >> sorry about that. so just to confirm, this is a paid position, is that correct? >> no, that's not. none of our positions are. >> this is not a paid position. okay. i guess i'm okay with all of this, and i think member nagendra has it correct that we're looking for data -- we've

long been looking for data, and i think the information, over time, could become voluminous, and it could easily go from one person's volunteering and job into a full-time capability. given the amount of request at least that i've heard for this data, it would be worth thinking about that in the future. >> thank you, member andrews. very true. we'll go to member reggio. >> so one difference that we had between this and what we had yesterday, it looks like a little correction -- not a correction, an addition, but it says that the data officer would be responsible for organizing the committee and

its liaison's requests. and initially, i thought, was that a good idea, but i think they are because if we have someone that's not channelling it through the data officer, that may get kind of crazy for the officer. are you looking for liaisons to seek their own data or should the liaison still work through the data officer, and that might be a question to cynthia, or member nagendra. >> i'll also say the chair -- per request per the department, they'd also ask the chair to see if those requests are

aligned, and i think working for all the alignment, that's the ultimate purpose, but i'll go to member nagendra. >> the way i'm seeing, and i think from the input that i've gotten, as well, it's a bit of an advisory roll. it's a combination of -- advisory role. it's a combination of an adv e advisory role in terms of processing requests and making available what's helpful and help our decision making and form our decision making as well as thinking through what are the right people to be able to even provide those requests. and i think getting some analysis is does the data exist and providing some translation in that back to the commission.

>> member reggio, does that answer your question? >> yes. so would you still see the liaison's going through the data officer rather than direct request to the department is some of my question, and it's because that was highlighted in the form of urgent, and it's not in the way that i asked that. >> i sort of see the data officer and the chair sort of working together. >> hopefully together. so those requests would come in, hopefully to myself and member nagendra directly, you know, through staff to be able to field those requests. so the liaisons could transmit their requests to the data officer. but it sounds like, member reggio, that you would like to

put that back in there? >> yeah. i think that's very smart with the data offer, rather than have liaisons. we have several in there operating independently. i don't see the need to add it, i don't i think somebody just did, and that's fine. so that may be preferable advice to committee regarding liaisons and the use of data. >> i think we can revisit, if that's a good way to start, and see if we need to revise, if that's possible. >> hi.

we'll go to [inaudible] and then member ledbetter. >> hi. i'm [inaudible] that definitely need to have action taken on. i'm afraidful to see all the action that you have taken on and working on together, and you all are -- grateful to see all the action that you have taken on and working on together, and you all are working hard. [inaudible] key data officer description detail here, are we going to detail these other liaison roles and describe those here? for instance, i have a background in collecting information and getting it specifically for the community

information process. i don't see that in these descriptions or bylaws, and i'm wondering are we going to have that at a later date? community organization definitely has to have some sort of contact with everybody else to have movement with everybody else [inaudible] so they can have their different engagement strategies. i don't see that here, and i'm trying to get a sense of how we incorporate that so it's not lost. >> absolutely, member haines. we will be addressing this position. as it was expressed in our last meeting, there was a desire to get the immediately a sons off the ground first, but there's a number of other areas that we need to have in there, and i believe that we should have this on our agenda not on the next agenda, because i know we

have some pretty heavy items concerning funds. but after that, i don't know, madam secretary or laura, do you feel that we can do that? i'll go to member ledbetter. >> i'm hoping this is working. is this better? >> yes. >> okay. good. i was running out of options. i wonder if we need to put all

this information in the bylaws. i'm glad we're talking about it, i'm glad we identified the data officer, but i think the point last time we tried to start this balance of putting normally what we needed in the bylaws, and then make sure we're dwriening the expectations of each other, and that might answer the question that member haines had about what's the roles of the bylaws, but while we're drawing that out, i don't know if that meets the legal requirements. >> [inaudible] there's nothing specified about our current

liaisons. this is a data officer added as a specific officer like the chair and vice chair which is different from the liaison, so just to clarify that there between the functions. >> yeah, i saw that last night, and i wondered if it was appropriate. but i think i'm glad that we have this role, but there's a piece of it that's missing for me, and i think it happens a lot when we start talking about data versus analysis and strategic thinking. so this role is starting to feel to me like an administrative person rather than a strategic viadvisor, ani was hoping that we could have somebody -- i'm happy that cynthia stepped into this position -- that we could go to this person and say, hey, how's this position holding up from a

political perspective? could you help us read the information, could you help us bring the data? i think we'll run into that today, where i'll be very curious to see the year-over-year projections. >> well, we can definitely add that in there, member ledbetter. you said community advisor -- i missed what you said in regards to strategic decision making? >> i'm sorry.

advise the committee on the use of strategic analysis and decision making is totally fine, actually. i completely missed it. >> okay. [inaudible] just to clarify. >> no, my operation was not well oiled this morning. >> deciit's okay. member haines, did you have another comment? >> sorry. these things are so tiny, it's so easy to forget you have them on. >> member nagendra? >> this thing is so broad, if we could define it more as we go along, and i think we've sort of met here, but i'm okay with sort of taking more of the -- you know, the details

out, but i think this is fine, too. >> all right. so for any other members, i wanted to move us along to a vote. do folks feel okay taking it in the entirety in the form of a data officer or do folks want to take it separately? what is the rule on that? maybe i should go to the city attorney. >> good morning. deputy city attorney jon givner. nice to see you all. you could vote on the bylaws as a whole as they've been changed. you could vote initially to clue or not clue the data officer fees and then vote on the bylaws as a whole. the only key is you need to take public comment before you vote on any piece. >> okay. thank you. so with that, we'll go to public comment. secretary hom? >> clerk: members of the

public who wish to provide public comment should call 415-655-0001. access code 146-712-8211. press pound, and pound again. press star, three to enter the queue. please wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted to begin your comment, and you will have three minutes. i'm checking the lines now. >> chair williams? >> yes? >> i was wondering if we needed a city attorney clarification, on what the public comment would be taken on? >> city attorney givner? >> sure.

there's just -- the committee only needs to provide one period of public comment for this item, so people can comment during this period on either the data officer or the bylaws or both, but you don't need to take two public comments. >> sorry. i wanted to get public comment on that. >> okay. no worries. is there any public comment? >> i do not see any public comment in the attendee list. >> okay. thank you. so we'll now go back to the motion for this item. does anyone have a recommendation? we can take this in its entirety with the data officer included or we can take them separately. it's really up to the committee at this point. so any member can make a motion for that. >> i'll make a motion to vote on it in its entirety. >> okay. so it's been moved by member d'antonio. >> second.

>> it's been seconded by member reggio. any further discussion? okay. hearing none, we'll go to roll call vote. [roll call] >> all right. so the motion has ipassed, and the bylaws as they are now have been approved. we'll move into item 5, which is the committee to review department of homelessness and supportive housing proposal for immediate funding needs to support homeless services, and to hear updates from community liaison on urgent needs regarding this proposal, and possible action by the

committee in response to this item, so i'm going to turn it over to director stewart-kahn, who i believe is with us. >> thank you, director, for having us. director abigail stewart-kahn, she-her pronounces. i'm joined by gigi whitley. before i begin, i want to thank the community liaison for their collaboration over the last few days. i know they spent many evening and weekend hours, and i want to thank them for their service in general, this committee in general, and the liaison specifically for the needs. if we could begin sharing the slides. >> laura, will you be sharing the slides or who will be sharing the slides? >> i don't know.

abigail, were you expecting me to share or dillon. >> dillon is on with the public health. >> okay. >> yes, i will make you the presenter now. >> as the slides are getting teed up, what our first slide talks about is the frisan fran has shown what a compassionate response can look like during this pandemic, and we continue to have help from state and federal partners for our efforts, so i just want to commend the whole homelessness response system, our for this

incredible, incredible feat. as a result, homeless survival of covid is almost the same as other communities, which is not the case in other cities. with that said, people experiencing homelessness were already vulnerable, and they began this particular pandemic already in crisis. and so while we are all experiencing a 2020 that we have never experienced before, we ourselves are in much more sturdy ships in this ocean offof inequity and pandemic. those serving the homeless community or our unhoused neighbors have served and stretched and taken public

risks every day, and we are grateful to those heroes. next slide, please. we presented -- i admit, i have lost track of time, but at your most recent meeting, we presented an original plan for rehousing, and what i intend to do today is provide updates on our revised plan, which we are really enthusiastic about and then move to what the urgent spending plan is in front of prop c today and next week, and i know that you will also be hearing from your community liaisons. i also want to reiterate that the commitment around rehousing is the community is not the street. we believe that housing is health care, but housing is not hotel rooms. earlier, we heard that they want to keep them open forever. but they do not
