that we are trying toaddress . based on feedback from the community . we absolutely notonly do we believe we should have this, we have asked for it . >> director kyle, when you came before us on the eve or the day before the eve of the holiday, december. you were pretty clear that the state of emergency was not going to beused to leverage more policing those were your words . and i'll read youwhat you said . although interrupting illegal activities and enforcement for behaviors that are a threat to public safety are basic citywide response it's important we declare this

emergency declaration is based on a public health emergency and is no way a means to criminalize drug use to be leveraged for more policing. that was a commitment and i think there was asimilar commitment from andre powers . who also committed in seeking approval and gaining approval despite the objective of supervisor waltonof gaining approval . that was a key commitment that we would not see certain kinds of policing. and or surges in policing as part of what is fundamentally and we would hope we all agree a callous response.i am just stop by the timing here. and i don't doubt the intent to follow through with that commitment you madeto the board , mister powers made to the board . but i find myself concerned that the timing of this

undefined and much referred to surge in police is going to now, a time when the emergency is no longer in place and i guess i would ask whether the end of the state of emergency or population of emergency, does that and your commitment and mister powers commitment to the board not to use the authority of the emergency to leverage morepolice ? did that change once the emergency is over? >> first of all, the declaration. we did not use, we have not used the declaration for any kind of increase in law enforcement and i believe the wording of it was to request more resources for additional

funding for police in the case of the tenderloin. so we are not asking for the police presence to target drug users. in any way. we're asking, we and when i say we, on behalf of the community to help us in our efforts to reduceharm in the community . and this is an emergency. it's dynamic. the nature of an emergency means that we are going to request the resources as we need them as this develops. i don't see thisbeing a backtrack in any way . quite frankly we could use the increased police officers before this week.

there's no connection to the timing of this. >> wouldn't you agree based on the statements for the board gaining approval that you felt bound not to be increasing the police funding and surging the number of police officers in thetenderloin ? that was the commitment at least during the state of emergency. >> i guess i would turn the question back to the board. what do i say as the lead of this initiative to members of the community, parents, elderly people who are seriously ... >> this is our time to ask questions and i think it's fair to ask for a response for the president. it's a significant to make sure we're on the same page i'm not debatingthe wisdom of policing with you .what i'm saying is

that you've gained approval for a state of emergency based on commitments that that state of emergency would not be used to increase the police presence in the tenderloin and increase funding. we now learned through the chronicle, not through anyone in the administration but from the newspaper a day or two ago that suddenly at theexact time when there's now up prominent surgeon policing that the state of emergency will no longer be effective . thereby basically making the commitment that was previously made go away. that may be coincidence but i guess what i'm asking is for more clarity. one, do you agree that during the state of emergency that you made a commitment to not leverage that for increase in policing and number two, are you no longer bound bythe commitments in your mind once the state of emergency ends ?

>> again, the declaration had nothing to do with policing. the declaration did not help me or give me any power to say to chief scott i need moreofficers . that request has been made based on what we have faced in this communityfor the last 90 days . i have to be able to, so number my answer to you is i don't see a problem with this. i am asking for the resources that i need to address the problems that arein front of us . and this also, i need my understandingalso but this is not a huge surgeon policing . this isn't to look like what we saw as i understand it in union square.

this is just to help us address very serious problems of crime, of drug dealing and violent crime inthis community . >> thank you, i am just going to wrap up with comments because i know other colleagues have questions and thank you president walton for the time. really, for all of us just to dive in. but i want to say that my concern and it's been a concern from the start andunfortunately the concerns have largely been proven to be well-founded . it's that we have certain things that have happened here in standing up the linkage center and offering basic dignity and basic services and

necessities forpeople in the tenderloin that were long overdue .that should be happening to supervisor ronen's question, should be happening pursuant to a citywide plan with an obvious focus on the tenderloin and other communities in consultation with the board of supervisors and advocates and these would be unanimousvotes or very close to it . and there have been positive things to come out of this and supervisor ronen i appreciate your pushing for the hiring of sf. i don't think anyone can look at it and see there's not been progress but that's not the controversial part. that's the part we should be asking how do we do that at a much bigger scale, wrap it up quickly and ask for support for the resources to do that and make ithappen . but at the end of the day i continue to have concerns about the use of police particularly

threatened unhoused people and those concerns have grown . and unfortunately, the declaration began with what i see as a lot of theater during a press conference. we talked about this before in which the mayor is surrounded by police department and the sheriff, department leadership threatened to makelife hell for drawing drug users and for unhoused people in the tenderloin . i consistently stood and others have as well against the resurrection of the failed war on drugs and against harassment of unhoused people inthe tenderloin. when we want our neighbors to feel safe that includes people living on the street . we have repeatedly asked the mayor's office to set parameters that would in writing make a commitment not

to use police to enforce the law or criminalize drug addiction in thetenderloin but to no avail. we've never had written commitments around that . i think initially dem and the mayor's staff initially tried to walk back some of the mayor's comments and assure this board that the next organization had nothing to do with increasing sfpd presence and activities in the tenderloin. the recent quotes i think were probably problematic on director carol to the chronicle that the city would start using policeto try to be push people into treatment . comments that werenot distanced or disowned or said to be a mistake . you can either engage services or go to this place or move along and if you do things illegal police are going to intervene and this is what we

were told would not happen and the type of approach that we put people in greater danger from overdosing and i think given these kind of comments and conflicting frankly information from the mayor's office or dem, our office has worked to monitor sfpd operations in this state of emergency. we issued a letter of inquiry to get data and after some time sfpd sent us aresponse after our last committee as a whole . and i'd be remiss if i didn't mention some of the troubling information that we uncovered through the response to loi. we had a lot of information but i'll highlight a couple of things. black people made up about 33 percent of the people arrested or cited in the tenderloin during this period. hispanic or latinx committee

made up about 39percent so we're talking over 70 percent . over 70 percent of the arrests of the citationswere against black or brown people . and meanwhile the use of force almost doubled during the tenderloin emergency in comparison to the numbers from last year. and half of those subjected to use of force bypolice in the tenderloin were black . so i think we have to remember that the tough on crime talk is easy but policing does not take placein a vacuum. it has serious repercussions to communities and particularly for communities of color . that's why we fought so hard to make sure that the policing aspect of all this remains out of the conversation and why we're alarmed to be learning of

plans to address what is honestly a public health crisis with the surgeon policing and policing. so the emergency declaration is expiring i hope advocates and city officials will continue to monitor the situation to ensure that the activities there don't result in a revival of tactics that we know do not work and actually make things worse and i appreciate director carol statement around that were onl successful when we work together. i agree with thespirit of that . i would like to see that be a reality .and that includes closer consultation between the administration andthe board and frankly , not dictating our statements for how they look in media headlines particularly conservative headlines and showing how toughwe can be but

instead letting our department of public health lead , staffing up department of public health and at hs age and launching programs like it's not a mystery that it's going to be a successful path forward. we have some good and indications fromthe center and reviving some of these hotels . but we need to do far more of that so i will leave it at that and i again thank you colleagues for the time thank you supervisor preston. supervisor peskin. >> i want to reach out a bit into the sfpd role and just get some hard, fast numbers. so captain canning, i don't think we've had the pleasure of meeting you inperson but i loo forward to getting to know you

. i wanted to know how many full-time how much full-time equipment are there and tenderloinstations . >> a number of our officers are , we've got more than 90 full-time police officers. >> that includes the 20 additional officers that you have received or is your normal compliment . >> that's our normal i think assignedcompliment . >>and that is that standard ? be a central station that i'm most fiddling with which is a larger geographic territory has a fte count somewhere around 120, so is that your normal complimentor is that a reduced complement , 90. >> we experienced i think the same consistency in the number of our officers as therest of the district station so i would sayconsistent with other district stations based on

those factors . size, calls for service volume . things of thatnature . >> so themoment you learned about were received yesterday is approximately a 20 percent increase in staffing . >> yes. >> and have you been told how long that additional staffing is expected to last? regardless of? >> thosedetails are stillbeing worked out . >> understood . >> and out of that 90 assume that is not just q2 but sergeants and lieutenants as well ? >> those are our officers. we got transfers so 17 or 18 sergeants that in addition to that number. >> and what, three lieutenants? >> we've got lieutenants on dave's and also some civilian staff as well. >> so 90 two jews and the rest

are 17 sergeants plus lieutenants was some psa's . >> yes. >> andthen relative to the 90 q2 , do you have and i'm sorry it's not meant tosound dumb, it's just ignorant . how many beads do you havein the tenderloin station geography ?>> we do have the good fortune of having the most 50 officers out of all the district stations are beats. they shift,supervisor, quite frankly . we are able to move and when i tried to do is shift the beats wheresome of the more significant issues are occurring . i'm going, deployment has been quite fluid. in terms of foot the officers wehave approximately 24 beat officers at the station .

>> got it and you spoke to daily deployment plans but is there relative to the so-called emergency, is there a block by block response plan? is there a larger plan or does it consistof the daily deployment plan ? >> there's a little bit of both supervisor to the question about the emergency initiative as doctor carol said. our role has been one of support. in termsof daily deployments, that also includes our patrol officers . the sector car assignments and other obligations on a day-to-day basis. yes, those deployment objectives shift based off of declining trends that we read about in reported crimes. and also observations, the

officers onpatrol as well as their sergeants and dependents . >> and just for ouredification, you report to the metro commander or how does that wor these days ? >> there's once of chiefs nowadays . >> so there are 10district stations, tenderloin is one of them . i report to the commander of the metro division who reports to the deputy chief of the ceo of operations bureau. >> who in returnreports to assistant chief redmond, ? >> yes. >> relative to the emergency period senseless december has there been any change in support from the command staff, has there been any change in the wayyou deployed your resources , any support that

additional support that you've received have things, what's beendifferent in the last almost 90 days . >> thank you for the question. one thing that is significant that i've been gratefulfor his support from a lot of our auxiliary units . officers around the traffic division are motorcycle solo officers, the honda officers. on their bikes. we've had officers from the tactical company that have been really assisting us with our visibility, ourpresence and patrols . and that has been a significant shift that has been helpful in the tenderloin since the declaration. >> iq captain, i look forward to meetingyou in person and working with you . >> i want to thank you supervisor.

>> supervisor melgar. >> i have a couple questions. i wanted to start with this: if she still here with hhs. are you still here? >> i believe she is. let me make sure. yes, she is. >> it seems like the numbers that you gave were impressive and that we have found in this whole thing that having low entry, low barrier access to both of the services including shelter works. and it works fast. i am wondering if this is something that can be replicated without an emergency declaration. why can't we do this the way we

putpeople into shelter all over the city with our existing systems . >> thank you for the question supervisor. you're absolutely right, that declaration and the state of emergency was incredibly helpful at getting the linkage center so making shelter available and doing the outreach and placement works is a part of our ongoing operation and we can absolutely learn lessons from the linkage center and apply them across the system . and having a through no wrong door a single point of entry, nested behind her access points . that's a lot of the work we do is to try to make access no barrier. one of the things we've had a lot of success with throughout the pandemic is having the team workers equipped with direct access to the shelters and

that's what we've seen the pandemic and that is what we're duplicating here in the tenderloin initiative. our outreach teams are significantly more successful when the resource they have to offer is tangible and immediat . that sort of pre-tenderloin emergency that has been the case for the outreach team. they fill them every day. so it's what we're trying to do here iscollaborate with the departments and make more available on the streets . >> thank you mrs. cohen. my next question was forcaptain canning . you said that in the last few weeks we have seized twice as many drugs in the same period last year. i've also hard in a different partof the presentation it's about the same number of

arrests. can you talk about that ? >> thank you supervisor for the question. one thing we've learned in the ecosystem of issues that are challenging in the neighborhood is that there's just not a lot of uniformity. i think out of the narcotics that are seized by drugdealers that we arrest , nor by the drugs that we see in a patrol capacity when officers turned the corner and a group disperses without the officers being ableto identify who actually was carrying the drug , is not uncommon to find a bag of drugs . so incorporated within our utter withinour enforcement strategy is that as well . so toanswer your question , i

don't know the reason. all i know is that the more we focus on the areasimpacted by drug sales, the more drugs we are seeing . sometimes it's on a suspect with our arrested and as indicated beforesometimes and that enforcement action , there are items found that basically are concealed narcotics so just demonstrates i think the quantity of narcotics out there and very mindful of the fact that we are seizing a lot but there's still more out there. and that i think goes to part of the strategy of applying to the very challenged areas where we are seeing an increase of drug sales, a very visible presence to do 2 things. provide some relief and service to those areas and also identify and see if we can find

where the dealers are moving t . as indicated before and as you all know , there tend not to be drug dealers where there are uniformed police officers . there is a shift i predict so our coordinated outreach specifically with our narcotics detail colleagues will i think be very telling to see what kind of ships we notice the quantities of drugs that are seized compared to the number of arrests . >> captain, what if any coordination do we have with federal lawenforcement agencies on this ? >> thank you for asking that. i know the deputy chief this morning, that is more in his wheelhouse . there are ongoing efforts with our federal partners. >> i can tell you most of our cases are state-level.

until we get to that search warrants to the larger quantities and repeat offenders where we are able to take the cases to a federal agency. so we do work with our federal partners just like our state partners and we try to use the type of resource we can including at the state level, the doj. >> just to clarify now that we've seen a doubling of the amount of drugs it has risen to the level of getting to the point where we are board meeting with federal law enforcementagencies ? >> we're going to coordinate with the federal law enforcement agencies. some of the dealers that have guns on them, they are prohibited it really goes case-by-case .

it depends on the dealer, how manyarrests they have .the quantity and it really varies from case to case. but we look at every single case and we tried to see what would be themore appropriate avenue . >> thank you verymuch. colleagues, i want to make a couple of comments . i think we took a leap of faith in this declaration of emergency and i think we've learned somelessons . i am really glad to hear director cohen say that because advocates have been calling for low entry barrier access to shelter and also drug treatment for decades. i am glad that when we did it we saw such good results. i also want to reiterate that i do believe that there are times when there is an appropriate

use of police and increase in police presence. i think i as you guys know i'm from el salvador and ispent a lot of time in central america . i have families ties and the connection between human trafficking and drug sales is real and nothing good comes of it. nothing goes to the victims of human trafficking or the people or exposed and have their families threatened to engage in something that is harmful and poisonous to others. i do think it's appropriate for us to deal with it through enforcement while at the same time we are shifting resources from the things that don't require risk. so i am dismayed we still don't have that up and running. it is something that would shift some of the things that do not require police presence to deal with annoyances that

people just donot know how to access . so i think that we have learned some lessons. i hope that we can continue to respond to the residents of the tenderloin, who are still living in conditions that many of us wouldn't stand for. and at the same time, learn from what works. and continue to hold people accountable to not just promises but the metrics that we have all identified wanting to make better for those residents . thank you. >> thank you supervisor. supervisor safai. >> thank you president walton. thank you for thosecomments supervisor . very much appreciated. and that particular insight.i just wanted to state for the

record at least my understanding and the supervisors understanding when there was initial commitment made from the departments and others that there would not be , they would not use or not use theemergency order to reallocate resources . i never heard commitment that there was not , there was not any intent to increase police presence particularly around criminal activity as relates to dealing or other crime that happened on the street. my question to the president, to mister paulino or anyone from themayor's budget office . has there been any reallocation of resources to deal with this most recent increase in police presence and is there any intention to do so and if there were, would you stillkeep a commitment to come back to this body to seek approval ? >> thanks for the question. the funds in the existing

budget, there are no new resources and as my colleague mentioned previously if there were it would be out of appropriation. >> thank you for that mister paulino through the chair. my understanding is that this most recent increase in presence as supervisor eskin said, 25 percent increase the staffing is not putting any additional strain on the budgets. and i for one am happy to hear there will be additional police presence and hopefully with it will be done in coordination with other groups todeal with the type of crime . this is the promise that was made to this community. this was a commitment made to this divinity over and over again to deal with some of the criminal activity particularly the drug dealing at so i want to clarifythat for the record . thank you misterpresident . >> it's pretty obvious that

they're going to be pulling police from other places. they stated itseveral times. that's where additional police officers are coming from. other precincts, other areas of law enforcement . boldly and publicly. supervisor stephanie. >> thank you president walton i have a question for director carol.first of all i was remiss in not thanking her for all the work she's put into this . i know she's been working 24 seven and this wouldn't be happeningwithout her. i just wanted to follow up . shewas trying to say something before she was interrupted . i want to go back to that because i think it's important that we don't forget this is not the community . and when i'm looking at the key findings of the community listening sessions because what we should be doing islistening

to the community . and when the community says they want morepolice resources to reduce drug sales , not to people to do drugs in jail but reduce drug sales probably through the arrest of drug dealers and violent crime and increase safe passage and accountability, that's somethingwe need to listento. correct me if i'm wrong but we had someone who works for urban alchemy shot in the leg around their . allegedly shot by a . also the morning i visited the lincoln center marion carol for me what happened to the 16-year-old girl found in market dead of a drug overdose insuspicious circumstances that they have not found out so yes , we need police resources and the community is askingfor it . i would like director carol to finish the thought she had from what she was explaining about what she heardbefore she was interrupted . >> thank you supervisor

stefani. >> thankyou supervisor, thank you president walton . first of all i want to say that we have been due to the incredible work of the joint field outreach team and hsoc and community partners, the entire outreach to people who are using and suffering from drug addiction has been served as an outreach. we have in no way criminalize that behavior in any way at any time during this initiative. and what we hear and the community supports that. but they also come to us and say what about us. what about us, what about those ofus , what about us walking our kids down the street trying

to get to the school. having them literally attack which has happened multiple times inlight of the fact that we createdsafe passage . what about the violence that's going on in the streets . you know, and what about parents of adolescents who are terrified for their kids because they can't walk them and hold their hand and go to schooland have to get on the bus and go to school ? what about the seniors afraid to leavetheir homes ? they are literally saying what aboutus and asked us and half me as the leader of this , please bring more presence of the police so that we can feel safer and that is all i wanted to say. that is why i have gone to police and asked whatever way they can increase their presence so that the community will feel safer. i have done so. and i just you also want to

reiterate there is no additional funding for this and i know there's other questions perhaps for pd that i'm not going to answer butthat is why we're here . i just have a responsibility to this community that has been assigned to me until that responsibility is removed , i'm going to go and ask for the resources thatwe need . just like we did during covid, we're going to ask for the resources we need thank you for letting me finish that thought supervisor stefani.>> i don't haveanything further . >> supervisor can. >> maybe i missed this but i know thatsupervisor ronan asked about the controller's letter , there was a response. >> there was, i was supposedto explain it . greg wagner was on the call but

he was with his kids so i said leave and i'llexplain it . iwant to thank greg for joining us . when the whole person care was on federal grant funding, when that ended in i think 2024 2031, when they apply for the last round of money from one person care, they applied for more money than they received but anticipating, in anticipation they budgeted it as if they were goingto receive a map and then when doing intergovernmental switch . so because they never received the money and stop the federal funding for whole person care programs, they still have an appropriate in their budgets a transfer is over two safai so there wasn't a reduction of services or work in one person care.and unfortunately the federal government stupidly in

myopinion and that program because it wasn't one of the most effective >> thank you supervisor . i was remiss, somebody did come on to answer that. we forgot to bring them back s thank you . all right. now we will go to public comment on the committee as a whole. >> the board of supervisors will now your public testimony pertaining to the proclamation of local emergency, drug overdoses in the tenderloin and we will first year testimony from president and chamber and then take those 20 us remotely to provideher testimony remotely , you mustbe connected to the remote call in system by dialing the telephone number streaming onyour television,

computer screen . when you hear the prompt, enter the meeting id , 24856474435. you will have joined the meeting, you will hear the discussion and the muted and the listening queue. onceconnected press star three. the system will indicate you have raised your hand . wait until it stays you have been unmuted. that is your cue. let'sstart with any members of the public who are here in the chamber with us . thank you mister washington for seeking it out. >> this has been along interesting read. i've been here since 2:00. it's a little after eight and i get 2 minutes. this is unfortunate for the community or people to talk on this position,particularly about this one. i stay on the 600 block of betty street only there because of my condition .

so i stay at 630 any street. i walked outside. it looks like mexico. all the people on thestreet. it just looks so different . people shooting up, using paper so i say where are the police at? where are thepolice . i've seen two uniformed officers, ladies about that short walking down there by kentucky fried chicken and i say what's going on i've got some suggestions for the police department. i can't give it to you all in one minute but my question is, i out of the 1500 people you served, how many of those people are from san francisco? how many of those people that

are using these drugs are from san francisco ? how many of these drugdealers come out of the country are from san francisco ? back in the days when they had cracked, they got rid of the black dealers. they came in the tenderloin and gotrid of them but now look at it . all these foreigners here selling drugs. they don't speak english . they say what you want? i will give the police the information how to get rid of thepeople on thecorners . all they've got to do is block 2 streets off . what's going on? it's easy solutions to get rid of all those dangers. >> thank you mister washington. let's hear from our next caller please.not caller but member in the chamber. >> caller: thank you for your efforts. i am a product of the cl and

i've made it my purpose to dedicate my life to this community because the community raised me. and i'm also a yemeniamerican . yemeni is undergoing the worst humanitarian crisis in the world and every 10 minutes a child dies you to food deprivation and it's a war-torn country and i say all that to say many yemenis have expressed to me they left one war zone in yemen only to come into anothe one in the co . and sf neighborhood being referred to as the war zone is quite ironic because google will tell you sf is the world's best city and clearly it's not a close companion of mine died of a fentanyl overdose . i know many mothers, children that have been spat at physically or verbally abuse walking the streets of the co and as a youngster i went to

tenderloin elementary school and walking to school every day i was asked if i wanted to address and soon i was asked if i wanted to join the drug market and while i declined others accepted which is why it's crucial we start to condemn what is wrong because what is wrong is truly wrong about and it by saying what ml told us. injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere going on in the tenderloin is a threat to usall . >> thank you for your comments. let's hear from our next number of the public in the chamber . >> it's good to see you. my name iscurtis bradford and i'm a longtime tenderloin resident . i really wasn't even going to speak tonight because i'm trying to take it all in and get my mind wrapped around everything that's happening.

i work in the tenderloin, live in the tenderloin andthis is my life but what i want to say is okay. here's my point . we should put that same level of energy around emergency initiative into getting mental health sf fully funded and the place. that will help the tenderloin. we need to fully implement all the recommendations ofour city our home and move on that right away with the same emergency initiative . that will help the tenderloin. we should fullyimplement part right now. that will help the tenderloin, that will help all the problems we talked about here tonight. those things will help . those problems. even cart by itself, that frees up officers to focus on drug dealing and violent crime. so that yes, you have cart dealing with other issues and police will tell you they're not equipped to deal with those other issues.

they want people like cart in the neighborhood working on those issues so let's get it done. if we really seriousabout moving on initiative and emergency fashion ,we really admitthere's a crisis in the neighborhood, these are things we can do right away that will make a difference in the tenderloin . please . >> thank you for your comments, and the other members that would like to provide comments , carving in the chamber. mister athens, i understand we have 25 individuals listening and five colors in the queue. if you'reone of 25 and you'd like to provide comments you should press star 3. mister adkins, let's hear from our next caller . >> that evening president walton, i'm policy associate. the tenderloin emergency initiative wasreported to the strategic plan for ending the overdose crisis . if the intention is to truly approach it as an emergency

should respond with an evidence-based approach that focuses oncompassion and services rather than coercion and increased isolation . that approach should involve implementing overdose connection to scale citywide the linkage center created part of the emergency initiative has demonstrated an undeniable need for supervised consumption in san francisco. every day hundreds of people are engaging with the harm reduction services there . people who are both housed and unhoused. this reinforcement of the researchoverwhelmingly shows the promise of supervised consumption . the science behind these interventions is emphatic and they are cost-effective . supervised consumption also provides people with greater access to medical care,social services and substance use

treatments along with producing public drug use . there's never been a death fro overdose or transmission of hiv or hepatitis c at any of the more than 100 orders prevention sites in the world including the two facilities now operating it in your city . if the city commits to supervised consumption the sites will providegreater benefit because they will actually be designed to provide this life-affirming services. thank you . >> mister adkins, let's hear from our nextcaller . >> good evening, can everyone hear me ? thank you madame clerk. first since i spoke before you last understood supervisor ronan's ukrainian friends and family havebeen other atrocious attack . i want to say to my thoughts and prayers with supervisor ronanand her family . i also appreciate you standing

with supervisor stephanie to demand real results to end the flood of illegal drugs to san francisco. what is going on to the entire board of supervisors is an outrage. it is insane we are not focusing on shutting down these this network of illicit drugs going through one of america's greatest cities with some really bad supervisors in charge. we should have transit movement good humans are kind, not illegal drugs and it is past time to declare a state of emergency and allow the san francisco police to hunt down and eliminate this drug network and thosewho are carrying it. i have compassion for people who overcome addiction . especially because i have a new friend who is a state representative who is did 10 years ago. so in conclusion i just want to continue to encourage and support those voices of courage like supervisor stefani and

ronen and encourage you to keep fighting the good fight and i appreciate the hybrid meeting and want to thank the staff and keep them coming tonight. just really encourage you to fight on to save all humanlife . you are special people. thank you for your public service . >> mister athens, do we have another color in the queue. there are 10 colors ready to comments and 26 or listening . welcome, caller. >> my name is jordan davis. i really oppose the continuation of this emergency and want to focus more. there's a state of emergency here in thetenderloin and i live here and i had drug problems in my family . it's bullshit how the city

tends to be focusing on morelaw enforcement . they help create safety because when people are helped they don't make people feel unsafe. furthermore i'm actually originally from new jersey which is a veryvery hot on drug place. lots of harsh sentencing, no seat program . you know what? some of the citiesin new jersey would make the tenderloin looks like child's play . so basically what it means is the harm reduction and fund all this type top on crime rhetori . that's just bullshit. i want to close by saying the reworking of aclassic song. tlc . we know we hate you. we know we hate you.

care about the city has successfully reduced 34 overdoses but as for over all overdoses have fallen . the city has 394 on housekeeping theshelter but how many people in other neighborhoodsare still on shelf ? the city has seen 16,200 grams of narcotics . asthe city limited open or drug dealing . the city's recording has not answered these questions . here is an even scarier question is the data to show whether the initiative is failing cemented all resources devoted to the it would be helpful for the city to provide a clear explanation of the strategies are being pursued each of the eight goals . during the session was heartening to hear something members of the board of supervisors orimprove metrics on the city . i hopethe board will work with the city . for better data, evaluate progress, provide strategies andhopefully achieve real success with .>> was here from our next caller please.

>> caller: my name is procedural law, and director of community organizing and resonant voice at the tlc beauty and i live in the 10 one since october 2021. the tlc only supports the work that has been done through the emergencydeclaration . while the rapid development coordination of the linkage center is usually successful we would like to see service expanded and turn a more meaningful connection to services for people using the linkage center. we also believe there is improvement needed comes to ensuring the safety of the children and families and small businesses on 10 one emergency declaration focused on public health and the in response the database. for most residents have not changed. the open air market range problematic andthere is no discernible long-term plan or strategy for safety . we look forward to the day

families can safely walk their children's school or do their laundry. thank you. >> let's hear from our next caller, we have six colors lined up tomake comments . welcome, caller . >> caller: evening supervisors. [inaudible] >> sir, can we ask you to turn you downyour television or computer ? >>. [inaudible] >> operations can wego to the next caller please ? >> that evening madame clerk, president walden , board of supervisors. thank you for having this hearing. my name is gilbert criswell.

i want to show my support supervisorpreston's line of questioning and supervisor chance line of questioning . as well as visor peskin's line of questioning. theirquestions have informed the publicon what's going on with the state of emergency . what we need is testing . testing in the marina, testing innorth beach and testing on polk street . people need to know what's in their drugs so pretesting kits to be available citywide so that these people don't do drug overdoses. if they know what's in their drugs, maybe it would prevent the drugoverdose . as part of the transparency, on the drug overdose we didn't hear anything about who whose lives were saved or how many drug overdosesthere were during

the state of emergency . we need transparency .this was supposed to be the most transparent state of emergency and yet there is none. so we need better testing so people don't do drug overdoses. thank you. >> thank youmister criswell. mister atkins, next caller please . >> caller: this is tom wolfe, and the recovery advocate. i'm calling in to voice my disappointment and an incredible missed opportunityat the lincoln center . this is a real chance to promote recovery and treatment options for those bundling with drug addiction and reduce deaths while working to get people off thestreet . instead in the two months since the center of an open two percent of those who have visited have been connected to treatment of that percentage we do not actually know how many enter drug treatments but we

know it was less. moses the on thefailed experiment in which those running the center have been secretive , defensive and ultimately reluctant to provide transparent data outcomes. it is worth noting on the street the linkage center is referred to euphemistically as the smoke clouds i know this is not the message eph or dem or the mayor intended to send that is the message that has been received by people on the street used in addition to meet this problem for term life with organized drug dealers operating in the tenderloin and while much of this for me has been placed on sfp there are a nearly million drugs off the streets. we know there'sorganized drug dealing, we know they are . two thirds of them have previous arrestsyet we still are asking a question or the right people . what prosecutorial outcomes representatives from the das office in superior court this meeting ? whyare they not be asked the tough questions about outcomes

. thank you. >> mister atkins, next caller please. >> can you hear me?>> welcome. >> caller: this islisa strong. you can google my name, you'll find out who i am . i work and i live in the tenderloin and my job is to keeppeople safe . i've worked 33 goalies through the city around 10,000 people and i've been responsible for right now i'm sitting here at my desk looking at cameras and i'm watching 13 drug dealers in front of this building around here every day all day. these same people have been here sinceseptember . the same people have been here. let's that's the facts. the linkage centeris a great idea. i've been homeless, i was in prison . i'm probably one of the best success stories in the city of

san francisco google me again why i'm here to tell all of yo , not this will change overnight you have to stick with it . put your politics to the side and work together. work together. everything will work out but you have to be work for the people of the tenderloin. here them and respect them and you haveto go by their wishes . that's really all it is. it's really simpleit's so simple, thank you . >> thank you for your comments operations, let's hear from our next caller please . >> is green, can you hear me? okay, board of supervisors my name is john wofford and i'm employed at the pharmacy department, inpatient at the

san francisco general hospital. i'm currently on approved leave of absence related to a work injury and disability. i received numerous calls from city workers throughout the city about workers fromseveral unions to include local 21 and 1021 . i'm here as the city worker advocate, as my local union 1021 will notadvocate for these members . some have medical exemptions. some have a hippa position. the city is not allowing exemptions to gain approval and possibly 1000 city workers may lose their jobs april 1. please consider setting aside this current april 1 deadline while the restrictions are on a plan and projected phaseout with mister newsom within june. other companies and organizations are legitimately

granting exemptions. >> i'm pausing for a moment. this meeting is about right drug overdoses in the tenderloin. are you making perhaps general public comment? >> yes i am. >> if you wouldn't mind pressingáthree, that will put you into the queue and we will get back todrug overdoses in the tenderloinhearing . thank you for your patience. mister atkins, do we have another color in the queue . >> this is sarah short, i'm calling from the treatment on-demand coalition and wanted to say i think most of the lessons we learned from the tenderloin plan so far were easily predicted. a lot of us expected these results . so they include the fact that

there's simply not enough resources to link people to the care they need at the linkage center. we seen the center is a great thing for what it is. it's the drop-in center and it's the space for people to get some of their immediate needs met and i'm notknocking that . but it is not, there's no linkage at the linkage center and that's because for this plan to have been successful trulywould have involvedan increase in actual resources . mental health treatment beds , substance use treatment beds, actual housing and also it has met, what's that's meant is that there's been divergent of resources citywide to the tenderloin so even good results we've seen which we've seen

some. it's great to know that 65 people got housing but what did that mean for all the other houseless people on the list and the other thing we learned is the need for a safe consumption site. the center showed us there's a huge demand for a place for people togo and safely use drugs . for people to be in community and have monitoring and be in the space where overdoses can be reversed. 35 overdoses reversed in the last four or so months is a big deal. >> we have about four colors lined up to make their comments, 27 you are listening. if your one of the 27th would like to provide your testimony

press star three rightnow otherwise we may take this group to the end . welcome, caller. let's move on to the next line. welcome, caller. >> leaving supervisors tonight i'm calling for an end to the drug war . we know the outcome of these police actions. we've known it the entire time. it has beenobvious. it has been predictable. it has been predicted . we can see in the tenderloin as we did an increase in violence. an increase in the potency of substances . and as we see an increase in police action, we see a corresponding increase in

overdoses. i'm asking the supervisors tonight to read the science and read the publicpolicy and bring our failed drug war to an end . there is no policy that supports police action as a reasonable means to reduce the availability of drugs . the science is consistent. reliably, this causes exactly theproblems we're seeing on our streets . we've had decades for the war on drugs to have worked. if it was going to have worked. it's not going to work for the tenderloin. we've seen even with renewed focus and renewed brutality has been no decrease in the availability of these substances. this is yet another case study on the fact that the war on drugs reliably causes our society to be less safe. supervisors, follow the scienc

. bring an end to this failed war ondrugs. our society . >> thank you foryour comments. mister atkins, let's hear from our next caller . >> i like to call and support tom wolfe and his comments earlier. we need to get drugs off the street. in addition to using all of the tools in the toolbox to help people get off drugs and stay off drugs and we need to getthe drugs off the streets . thank you . >> mister atkins, next caller. >> caller: in the last five monthsi've not heard homeless women represented here . dignity stripped from her, when she's been raped menstruating

has edema from compelled walking or pregnant and needs to sit down without men with guns or criminalrecords reentering . paid money to mind her data which point she's labeled set. ignoring latin next women when it comes to bias in san francisco housing protocols towards those they can endure the gladiator contest where the winners are able-bodied men and convicts able to jump through hoops and a homeless women cannot compete . the screams forhelp go through the night ignored bypolice and policymakers alike . homeless women are victims of crime . without a criminal record what is their entry system? it's is disabled chemically sensitive or anyone to be married customers compromising access points which increased death and human trafficking.

ever since in recent policewoman's giggling voice obfuscated as she digs into the data, refusing to speak plainly with references to tracking and metrics make it sound like dat mining poor women isn't hunting them such as a rapevictim's own dna was used against her . what about the homeless women's rights ? do not be compelled to fund raise or a man's next campaign as mandatory patron of tax contracts represent homeless women who die from exposure to the elements, represent homeless women whistleblowers are crime victims, represent to me and and invisible homeless women dying in san francisco defended by nuns. >> thank you foryour comments, citizen 22. let's hear from our next caller . all right, perhapsthat's another unintended line .

next caller please.>> madam clerk, the last caller in the queue appears to be an on and unintended line . >> thank you for your comments, public comment is now closed. madam clerk, this hearing is now filed. supervisor peskin. >> given that robust discussion and the number of discussions we had i believe we should say focused on this and i like to refer to item 25 two committee where we can further deliberate there asthe june period approaches . >> seconded by supervisor rone . madam clerk, on the motion. >> on the motion. >> my apologies.

>> on sending item 25 to a committee, we don't knowwhich committee yet . at the committee then they can continue on business with this item for public hearing. so just no longer at as a committee as a whole. >> it need not be this instrument. we can also introduce a reques for a hearing in order to facilitate the same discussion . >> in the event thatwe want to be a committee as a whole again. it could be ? >> for all of you can show up at thesns . >> i just want tounderstand . >> thank you supervisor chan. my apologies madamclerk .

>> on the motion to send item 25 to theps and committee . >>. [roll call vote] >> motion is sent to committee, approvedunanimously madam clerk, we are back at roll call .>> were going to pick it up with supervisor stefani.

>> thank you madam clerk. today i am introducing the resolution to urge president biden to close the deadly dating partner loopholethrough second adoption. although congress passed the violence against women act this week republican senators and the nra made sure the dating partner loopholewas not addressed .for those who don't know, federal law only prohibits convicted domestic abusers have from having a gun if they have childrenwith or are similarly situated to their victim . this dangerously includes dating partners . women in the united states are 20 times more likely to be killed with a gun than women in othercountries and each month 70 women in the united states are shot and killed by an intimate partner and many more are shot and wounded . nearly 1 million women in the united stateshave been shot at an intimate partner and approximately 2.7 million women in the united states have been threatened with a gun and

intimate partner . access to a gun on domestic violence situation makes it five times more likely that woman will be killed. men who abuse women go on to kill others as well. we know that's true and at least 53 percent of mass shootings between 2009 and 202 perpetrator has shot at the current or former incident partner or familymember . many of whom were women and children . homicides committed by a dating partner have steadily increased for three decades and now women are as likely to be killed by their partners asby spouses . however, it is promising states that prohibit domestic abusers from possessing guns have seen a 13percent reduction in and partner firearm homiciderates . we know it works . people with dangerous histories must be prohibited from having guns.. president biden has long been a champion for gun violence and domestic violence prevention and i hope you join me in urging him to advance those goals and close the dating partner loophole through

executive action and finally i just wanted to wish anearly birthday to our colleague who has a birthday on st. patrick's day .>> thank you,happy early birthday . president walton. supervisor chan. >> i first want to add my name to the in memoriam that supervisor peskin has introduced for the late small business commissioner and i also want to add myself as a cosponsor to supervisor melgar's other bill, legislation and making it a landmark. today colleagues though i do want to discuss an item that i didn't think i was prepared to talk about. i am introducing a resolution denouncing an anti-asian rhetoricand the use of racial campaign antics . i appreciate all your support in the past to denounce acts of

hate and violencetowards the api community . during the pandemic we have seen these incidences skyrocket and sparked by the trump administration and have continued to fuel by racist rhetoric imagery and tactics. one yearago , on march 16 and asian american six of whom were women were tragically targeted as victims of a mass shooting at a spa. so today we know that chinese-americans continue to report the most ate incidents of all ethnic groups at 42.8 percent followed by korean americans at 16.1 percent, filipino americans at 8.9 percent, japanese americans at 8.2 percent. and that vietnamese americans at the present with women

making up 61.8 percent of all reports. so last week ati counsel with a number of api leaders and organizers held an event denouncing beautiful imagery. and i do want to share with you about some of the imagery and some of these attacks, especially with the proliferationof social media . these attacks are too easy to switch. i have my predecessor have found these attacks personally and with this resolution we will input the file ofthis imagery . this image where it shows myself and former supervisor sandra lee fewer, it really is imagery and it pains me greatly

to share with you some of the comments made allowing these type of imagery and things like these are specifically in response to me, things like what is your salary from china, to push communist socialist ideology in california. mind you i was born in hong kong and now a uscitizen . and other comments like my experience is don't leave women who don't marry or even don't date with males in their ethnic group. or, four, and comments online that you see. she is chinese ccp asset. san francisco has been compromised.

lock her up. and while these comments that i have seen, my fellow asian american women have seen and heard a lot, all the time. it is time for us to break that silence.not only that, it is time for all of us to break that silence and that is why in this resolution i will be asking for your support to denounce these types of comments. until we all do ittogether , with you as my allies and being able to call these actions and comments and imagery out, they will not stop. and i know that there are many asian american women either they are too afraid because they don't have the type of support i have for supervisor fewer had or former supervisor

mabel king had. they are scared it's also thereason why you see them being attacked on the streets , in different spaces . there too scared to go outside and their families are afraid for them and you start to hear all these fears and anxiety that fuel on top of each other and justcreates more heat . add sometimes it even hits people of color against each other. because ofour own fear because of these eight attacks . so it pains me to introduce this resolution and but here we are so i urge for your support and thankyou . >> thank you supervisor chan. [applause] supervisor amy.

>> thank you ma'am clerk. today i'm introducing an ordinance amending the administrative code to require public works department to maintain documentation of all applicable inspections and approval upon final receipt, except final acceptance of a public improvement.this provides a small but critical amended to the existing code and would codify standards of practice that would ensure enhanced transparency and accountability. this would ensure the work is up to code and inspections are properly documented and our permanent inspection systemand then we seal off opportunities for corruption . as i stand today the san francisco administrative code permits the director of public work to us a set work complied with our electrical and fire codes. dpw builds projects for a

variety of state agencies and performs as needed repairs and improvements utilizing the city's accounts. while some major public works projects require inspections throughout the construction process, smaller projects and jobs conducted through the job order classification system are either not inspected or inspected ad hoc by individuals without the correct expertise of the inspector classifications dvi and its division. the absence of readily available for meeting allows contractors to underpay workers and perform substandard work. this will level the playing field between contractorswho do the right things and the ones who don't although our contracts require appropriate inspections , our research and information from contacts in the field show this contract provision is enforced consistently. this has implications for the quality and safety of our public works installations and this legislation would fix these reporting holes and

ensure the integrity of our public workscontracting proces . secondly i'm introducing a red resolution in support of av 2053 which is the social housing . authored by assembly members alex lee and co-authored by our senators scott weiner 80 2053 will create the california housing authority to produce mixed income homes that are union built sustainable collectively owned and affordable for all income levels california is in the midst of the worst housing crisis in over 50 years. the average californian arms just over $63,000 annually and the median price of a home is roughly $800,000 which is more than double the national average in california more than two in five households currently spend 30 percent of theirincome on housing .more than one infive spend over 50 percent of their income on housing .due to the high cost of living california has been using lower and income level

residents and the state has been unable to reduce the housing and we see the effects of that in san francisco every day. social housing helps develop mixedincome projects and locations close to parks and recreation . social housing accommodates limits of ranges and is protected from being sold for a private for-profit entity and residents are granted the same protections as tenants and private properties. housing for people with higher incomes will subsidize low income units andallow developers to become self-sustaining . remaining funds will be used for communitydevelopment and repairs . this creates a california housing authority to fill in the gaps of our low income and moderate income housing goals and would be produced with developments for addressing california's entire housing

needs and employ union labor to build mixed income homes near transit without accessing local affordable housing funds . the socialhousing prioritizes the preservation of existing affordable housing at risk of displacement . it's something that's been successfully implemented in vienna austria where over 62 percent of residents live in social housing . it's endorsed by the tenderloi housing clinic, the california nurses association and state building trade . i hope we will support this effort for social housing, at the state level. i know supervisor prestonhas been a leader in bringing forward social housing efforts in san francisco and this bill can help accelerate our housing production and provide affordable housing for all . >> thank you supervisor haney. supervisor mandelman i have a ordinance and a memorial. venues including what is

referred to as day bathhouses. bathhouses are a common feature in lgbt queue communities and they used to bequite common in san francisco . you may recall in june 2020 the board passed an ordinance to replace outdated public health requirements that would effectively ban these businesses in san francisco sent the aids crisis began that ordinance updated to help codes to require the director of public health to adopt minimum health and hate safety standards governing the operation of adult sex venues and directing the standards not include requirements to monitor patrons actual activities or prohibiting locks on doors and private rooms. regulations that were a legacy of the city's responses to the early days of the aids crisis. in january of public health published the standards which

laid out basic requirements for safety of the sex venues such as verifying the age of clients at the door, prohibiting the use of drugs oralcohol or additional patrons obviously under the influence and requiring provision of safe sex supplies like condoms as well as educational resources . these new standards recognize the advances in sexual health awareness and preventative treatments over the past decade and the potential for safe sex venues to assist in the city's efforts to control the spread of hiv and other sexually transmittedcommunity norms. around the same time the standards were published our office was contacted by a would-be entrepreneur ticking to open a bathhouse in soma who had been told by the planning department that would not be possible . zoning administrator has turned any business operating as a sex venue would be considered a type of adult businessfor the purposes of the planning code adult business is defined as a type of retail sales and

service use that includes adult bookstores, video stores as well as theaters. these uses are probably prohibited throughout the city and are conditionally permitted only in certain areas . a particular concern about business uses are generally not requiring an area of the state has has strongly been associated with the lgbtq community including the tenderloin and soma. since this determination by the number of entrepreneurs decided to open those little sex venue bathhouses, that have been blocked with the current zoning. the ordinance i'm introducing would seek to remedy that by supporting the establishment of adult sex venues in areas strongly associated with the lgbtq community specifically theordinance would establish a adult sex venue using the atlantic coast as a retail sales and service use that operates pursuant to the health code minimum standards for an adult sex venue . for the health code these are businesses where consenting adults of any gender are allowed to engage in sexual activities with their patients

thatdo not include sexual acts or performances by business . the ordinance would establish zoning controls for sex venue uses from the city that would allow this used for the same extent of the existing control for adult businesses within a given zoning district . this makes adult sexvenues principally in the castro and upper market corridor and part of the tenderloin .these areas of overlap with the castro lgbtq cultural district, leather district and transgender cultural district . the ordinance would allow for 20 support operations in areas where this used would be permitted providing noise control, lighting and security standards are met in areas where sex venues are permitted and seek permission to operate between the hours of two and 6 am as part of that cu which would generally be prohibited. on an adult sexvenue may be operated in connection with a bathhouse or massage use,

public bathhouses would continue to be permitted pursuant to police code and operations would continue to be regulated by the department of public health . finally the purpose of this ordinance is to complete the work we began in 2020 to overcome the lingering stigma from a painful chapter of san francisco's weir community i welcoming these safe lgbtq spaces in our city and paving the way for businesses to open up and contribute to our post-pandemic economic recovery. in conclusion i want to thank the castro lgbtq letter and lgbtq cultural district to the castro merchants association for their support and want to thank supervisor haney for his cosponsorship and audrey maloney and aaron starr with the deputy city to city attorney and department of public health and legislative aide for their work on this ordinance. and i look forward to getting your support for this ordinance. the in memoriam i'm offering is for paul: who diedjanuary 22 at the age of 2074 years old . paul was born in queens new

york and moved to washington dc at george washington university and spent his professional life working in healthcare. he moved to san francisco 1979 and over the next 4+ decades contributed to the bay area especially with lgbtq committees. he served as board president for congregation since his early years as a queer jewish synagogue i met him much later but i did notget to know him well i got to know him well enough that he was a very good man . paul served on the board of the jcc , bureau of jewish education interfaith family bay area in 2020, jewish community adoration and northern california director for hello international. he was ever steadfast and committed to the jewish community and frequently act as a bridge between the jewish and lgbtq communities. community federation described

him as a gift to the jewish community. he cared about everyone particularly any the core of the traditionally lovedand particularly when he can expand the boundaries ofwhat it meant to be jewish . he was always ready to be of support and talk through something hard . paul is survived by his spouse of 35 years doctor robert edelman and his siblings mark and ellen. donations can be made to congregation sharon baja and reston power paul cohen. may his memory forever be a blessing . >> thank you supervisor. supervisor marr. >> mister president, seeing no other news onthe roster that includes the introduction of new business . >> public comment . >> at this time the board welcomes general public commen . we will first hear testimony from those present in the chamber and then we will take those joining us remotely to provide your testimony and you may connect bydialing the telephone number on your
