one, the clerk's office for the incredible work that you have done keeping all together remotely over the last two years. we are going to start with a hybrid meeting or individuals will be able to call in and individuals will be able to testify remotely. at some point we will return to the old normal. this is still an evolving situation. welcome to our first in-person meeting. mr. young do you have announcements? >> clerk: yes, the board of supervisors are convening hybrid meetings allowed in-person attendance and public comment while supervising remote access by telephone. the board recognizes equitable public access is essential and will be taking public comment in the following ways. first, public comment will be taken on each item on this agenda.

those attending in-person will be allowed to speak person and we will take those who are waiting on the telephone line. for those watching channel 26 or 99 and sfgovtv.org the public call in number is streaming across the screen. the number is (415)655-0001. then enter the meeting i.d., which is 2489 671 0734. then press pound and pound again. you will hear the meeting discussions but you are muted and listen mode only. when your item of interest comes up and public comment is called, those joining us in person should line up to speak and those on telephone should dial star 3 to be added to the speaker line. if you are on the telephone remember to turn down your tv and all listening devices you may be using. we'll take public comment from those attending in-person first and then we'll go to our public comment telephone line.

you may submit public comment in writing either of the following ways. e-mail to myself the rules committee clerk. if you submit public comment by e-mail it will be forwarded to the supervisors aincluded part of the file. items acted upon today's meeting are expected to appear on board of supervisors agenda on march 13 2022. that concludes my initial announcement. >> supervisor peskin: please read the first item. >> clerk: item number 1 motion approving orapprove or rejecting mayor's nomination for appointment of alex ludlum term expiring february 10, 2022. >> supervisor

peskin: colleagues , we have a nomination by the mayor for the successor agency to the redevelopment agency known as the commission on community investment and infrastructure. which as you may recall, redevelopment in the state of california was dissolved back in the days of governor jerry brown. there are a number of ongoing projects that that agency has. i note that it is now without an executive director. there's an acting executive director in the capable hands of jim morales. i had the opportunity to personally interview mr. ludlum and want to thank mayor breed for what i think is a very good

appointment. this is for the balance of the team that end at the beginning of november this calendar year. mr. ludlum i like to invite you up and have you make some statements. you are clearly very well steeped in real estate and land use matters. i note and appreciate the fact that you as a volunteer are on the board of directors of the people's community benefit district along with an impressive list of things that you do and have done on your resume. the floor is yours. good morning. >> the first in person testimony in two years. >> thank you chair peskin. thank you supervisors.

i'm very honored to be giving the first testimony back in person. i'm very honored to be nominated for this role. this commission is especially appealing to me, i've been working in housing in san francisco for the majority of my career. this office will ultimately have say over the vast majority of affordable housing to be built in this town over the next 10 or 20 years. i've been working in various community groups and this feels like a much more efficient way to contribute to one of the central issues of our city in this time. thank you very much. >> chair peskin: thank you mr. ludlum. you seem to be clear when we met about the role that a commissioner plays both to support and to interact with

question the executive director, not otherwise mettle in the day-to-day affairs of the commission but to give it broad high level oversight and accountability. i appreciated that very fresh understanding that some commissioners do not understand. i want to say that for the record. >> sure. chair peskin made reference to the people's c.b.d. i think it was fairly unique in its origins when we saw the seven member volunteer committee. four of us were in our early 30s late 20s. only two of us owned property in the district. once we formed we established a proper 25 person board but there was a learning curve for

us. i worked hard to put in policies that the board fulfilled this role, which is monitoring the activity of our executive director and making sure he's doing what he supposed to do but not calling him up to report their thoughts on various entry level employees and that sort of thing. it's been a learning process. i'd be happy to take what i've learned working with board to the commission. >> chair peskin: any questions from colleagues on the rules committee? mr. clerk, -- supervisor chan? >> supervisor chan: i want to thank mayor's office and thank

you so much for this appointment and i know the last one we have quite bit of question about qualification. i think this is more of the type of candidates that we like to see coming forward in the sense where someone actually has done community work and have expertise in the area and being able to provide technical support and advice on the commission that is critical. thank you. >> chair peskin: point understood. well taken supervisor chan. with that mr. clerk why don't we open up to public comment. are there any members of the public who are present in these chambers who like to make any comment on item number one >> clerk: members of the public who wish to speak are joining us should line up to speak. for those listening remoting please call (415)655-0001 enter

the meeting i.d. 2489 671 0734 then press pound pound. once connected you need to press star 3 to enter the speaker line. for those in the queue, please continue to wait until the system indicate you have been unmuted. then you may begin your comment. there does not appear to be in the room to speak at this time. we do have forum listeners and two callers on the line >> chair peskin: first speaker please. >> caller: good morning supervisors. my name is al. i'm speaking in support of the nomination of alex ludlum to the successor agency commission. i known alex since 2014.

he's been active in the real estate industry first in real estate brokerage and then real estate development. we worked with him on the representation of united plans on purchase of its new home. he managed the transaction and helped us close the deal. alex has been active in helping united players not only on raising capital for the current homes but on expansion of its future homes. alex has experience complicated transactionings, has assisted developer on st. joseph art society and has experience with community benefit agreement working on the market street project. he has board experience. he currently sits on the board

of the community benefit district and active member of that organization. i strongly recommend alex as the commissioner for the successor agency commission. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you former commissioner lowe. big words, they are important for this panel to hear. next speaker. >> caller: good morning. chair peskin, supervisors mandelman and chan. my name christian majority i'm the executive director of the people's community district. i miss you guys too. chair peskin, supervisor mandelman and chan. i'm calling in support of alex

ludlum's appointment to this commission. as the vice president of the benefit district, alex has been instrumental in getting us off the ground. his work on the steering committee really helped us get up and running. his knowledge about all things real estate zoning and planning was invaluable to me as i got things started at on at the onset of the pandemic. he never missed a meeting. always diligent and prepared, makes useful contributions. no nonsense but respective collaborative and he brings a great heart and value to the discussion. i support his appointment to this commission. i thank you for your time this morning. >> chair peskin: thank you mr. martin. more important words from another respected member from the community. are there other speakers?

>> clerk: that was the last caller for this item. >> chair peskin: all right public comment is closed. i note that it is weird to have a gavel in my hand again after two years. with that, colleagues if there is no objection or comment i will make a motion to send item one to the full board with positive recommendation. mr. clerk on that motion roll call please. let's make the amendments remove the word rejecting and the word rejects. that is approving and approves. >> clerk: on the motion to amend. [roll call vote]. the motion passes without objection. >> chair peskin: on the motions amended to send it to the full

board with recommendation a roll call please. >> clerk: on that motion. [roll call vote] the motion passes without objection. >> chair peskin: next item please. >> clerk: next item is item number two ordinance amending the administrative code to establish office of cybersecurity and position of chief information security officer who in coordination with the department technology professionals is responsible for preventing detecting the damage to city infrastructure and information resources from cyber-related incidents. and provide the city administrator with -- members of

the public who wish to provide public comment on this item may line up to speak or little -- if you are joining us remotely call the public comment line at (415)655-0001. the meeting i.d. is 2489 671 0734. then press pound and pound again. once connected you will need to press star 3 to enter the speaker line. the system prompt indicate you have raised your hand. >> chair peskin: thank you mr. young. colleagues, this is timely given the situation on the planet earth as it relates to

cybersecurity. this is pursuant to the executive order by the mayor that codifies existing practices as it relates to our committee on information technology in the administrative code. we are joined by city administrator's office. i do have related comments. this legislation looks fine to me. are there any comments from committee members before we hear. welcome to being our first city department to testify in two years. >> good morning chair peskin vase chair mandelman. i serve as deputy city administrator. i'm here to provide an overview of the proposed changes to the administrative code which as chair peskin indicated are to

strengthen the cybersecurity efforts. it recognizes the city chief information security officer role and formally creates the office of cybersecurity. i will walk through the few proposed changes. i don't know -- i did provide a presentation to the clerk. proposed ordinance will amend chapter 22 of the administrative code to formally establish the office of cybersecurity and position city chief information security officer. outline responsibility for the department in alignment with existing coit policies and the mayor's executive director. add the city ciso as member of coit and designate the city

manager as chair of coit. when the primary proposed changes is to add section 22i to the administrative code to establish the office of cybersecurity as part of the department of technology and under the leadership of the city's chief information security officer. the office of cybersecurity is designed to coordinate's the city response to cybersecurity threat. the city ciso will continue to reduce the risk of compromise to the city's information resources and lead the city's response to incidents. section 22i detailed several responsibilities for city departments. since 2016, committee on information technology, known as coit has adopted policies requirement and standards to help provide a consistent city wide foundation for

cybersecurity in the city. the responsibility set forth in section 22i reflect responsibilities set forth through coit policies. each department needs to designate a departmental information security officer to coordinate cybersecurities with the ciso. the department need to conduct cybersecurity risk assessment and maintain a cybersecurity emergency response plan. which should be shared and review by the office of cybersecurity. the ciso will support cybersecurity. in addition to the new language added in section 22i the ordinance revises other sections of chapter 22 to add city see ciso as a permanent member.

the current code language provides for the possibility of different chairs every two years but this change reflects the way coit has been operating for the past 10 years. section 22a4 is updated to have the city's chief information officer to be promoted to the city administrator by the mayor. but the change along more reflect the way past appointments have been done for this position. that concludes my overview presentation. i'm available for questions. also the city's information security officers are available to help address questions as needed. >> chair peskin: thank you. one question i had relative to the composition of coit in so far as all the designated appointees under the administrative code have the

authority both in the existing legislation as well as the proposed legislation to send designees as a matter of practice who actually attends? >> from the department? >> chair peskin: from the eight permanent members who appears in person and who appears with the designee? >> it varies by meeting and by department. each of the departments have the department head listed as the member and they have to submit a designee letter if there are individuals who will attend coit in their place. often times it's a mix of department heads and their designees at any given meeting. it depends on the particular meeting where we might be talking about specific high level topics. >> chair peskin: in terms of functionality and consistency

does that work well enough? >> it seems as though it has been working. we have not heard complaints about it. we have to follow-up with the department head as needed. often times the designees are individuals most responsible for implementing the policies. that's beneficial, they can most directly speak how the policies will impact the department. >> chair peskin: on a related matter and may be this is more in the wheel house of d.t., there was talk a year or two back in the wake of 19b surveillance oversight legislation of a chiefly privacy -- chief privacy officer. can you tell us what the status of that is and whether you're

still seeking that and not for today but whether that will be an appropriate person if that position were come to exist to add to the coit membership? >> the creation of a privacy officer with the chiefly privacy officer was discussed within the city administrator's office. couple of budget cycles ago. ultimately it was cut during the board budget process. currently there's no staffing for chiefly privacy officer position or any support staff and any related work under 19b or other privacy work related to the privacy charter amendment is being done by a staff member of coit currently. >> chair peskin: there was a staff member who was doing that, i believe that staff member took a job with the state of california. >> that was the director of coit.

that individual did take a job with the state and there's a new coit director has started. she has begun doing some of that work in addition to her other work, which is be responsible for the day-to-day activities of coit as a whole. >> chair peskin: may be that is a conversation to have as our budget is formulated in advance of may and june. i will take that offline with you. i can see a parallel piece of legislation that may be worth policy consideration with regard to that position and the role that plays in our government given our overarching concerns about focusing on privacy throughout our departments and through coit. with that, are there any comments or questions from committee members? seeing none. why don't we open up to public comment? are there any members in the

chambers who like to comment. mr. pollock, do you have anything you like to add sir? [ indiscernible ] okay. are you still at d.t. or lafco now? our new local agency formation commission executive director is in the chambers. jeremy pollock welcome. with that mr. young -- >> clerk: members of the public who wish to speak on this item should line up to speak along the windows. for those listening remotely call (415)655-0001. enter the meeting i.d. 2489 671 0734 then press pound pound. once connected you will need to press star 3 to enter the speaker line. for those in the queue continue to wait until the system

indicate you have been unmuted and that will be your cue to begin your comment. there does not appear to be anybody in the meeting room for public comment at this time. we can move ton to our retote call in speakers. we have three people on the line. >> caller: this is david pilpel. good morning. it's weird to be calling into a room meeting like this. on the ordinance on page 3 line 20 i believe that should be section 2. there are two section threes and no section two. i believe that should be section

2 on page 3 line 22, i believe at the end cybersecurity and should have a space between security. on page 5 line 4 i'm wondering if it should be the responsibility of the m.t.a. board or if it can be the m.t.a. director or simply the m.t.a. shall provide rather than charging the m.t.a. board with that responsibility. on page 7 line 4, i believe it should read be appointed by the chief information officer. i would add the word officer. other than those technical edits. i support the legislation it is straightforward and make sense given what's going on in the world and the city.

>> chair peskin: thank you for those comments. are there any other members for public comment on this item 2. >> clerk: that completes our remote callers. there are no additional callers. >> chair peskin: public comment is closed. madam deputy city attorney pearson for the first in person publicly access i believe meeting. welcome. as to the caller's suggestioningssuggestions.most of them made good sense. that will be fixing on page 3 the 22 reference at line 20. do you agree? >> yes. change section 3 to section 2. >> chair peskin: then adding a space at line 22 between security and the word and. >> i agree.

>> chair peskin: if we want to have a parallel construction between the m.t.a. provision and their charter authorities and autonomy as we have in subsection d relative to the public utilities commission where it seems to say the p.u.c. commission actually there's a parallel construction. we would reject that comment i assume. then i do agree that on page 7 at line 4 the word officer should be inserted. >> i do. >> chair peskin: we will make the amendments on page 3 and on page 7 will not change anything on page number 5. i will make that motion to amend on that motion a roll call please. >> clerk: on that motion. [roll call vote]

the motion passes without objection. >> chair peskin: thank you to mr. pilpel for reading that so carefully. on the item as amended i will make a motion to send it to the full board with a positive recommendation on that motion, a roll call please. >> clerk: yes. [roll call vote] the motion passes without objection. >> chair peskin: we are adjourned.

[♪] >> i really believe that art should be available to people for free and it should be part of our world, you shouldn't just be something in museums, and i love that the people can just go there and it is there for everyone. [♪] >> i would say i am a multidimensional artist. i came out of painting but have also really enjoyed tactile properties of artwork and tile work. i always have an interest in public art. i really believe that art should be available to people for free, and it should be part of our world. you shouldn't just be something in museums.

i love that people can just go there, and it is there for everyone. public art is art with a job to do. it is a place where the architecture meets the public. where the artist takes the meaning of the site, and gives a voice to its. we commission culture murals, mosaics, black pieces, cut to mental, different types of material. it is not just downtown, or the big sculptures you see we are in the neighborhood. those are some of the most beloved kinds of projects that really give our libraries and recreation centers a sense of uniqueness and being specific to that neighborhood. colette test on a number of those projects for its. one of my favorites is the oceanview library, as well as several parks and the steps.

>> mosaics are created with tile that is either broken or cut in some way, and rearranged to make a pattern. you need to use a tool nippers as they are called, to actually shape the tiles of it so you can get them to fit incorrectly. i glued them to mash, and then they are taken, now usually installed by someone who is not to me, and they put cement on the wall, and they pick up the mash with the tiles attached to it and they stick it to the wall and then they groped it afterwards. [♪] >> we had never really seen artwork done on a stairway of

the kinds that we were thinking of because our idea was very just barely pictorial and to have a picture broken up like that, we were not sure if it would visually work. so we just took paper that size and drew what our idea was and cut it into strips, and took it down there and taped it to the steps, and stepped back and looked around, and walked up and down and figured out how it would really work visually. [♪] >> my theme was chinese heights because i find them very beautiful. and also because mosaic is such a heavy, dens, static medium and i always like to try and incorporate movement into its and i work with the theme of water a lot with wind, with clouds just because i like movements and lightness, so i

liked the contrast of making kites out of very heavy, hard material. so one side is a dragon kite and then there are several different kites in the sky with the clouds, and a little girl below flying it. [♪] >> there are pieces that are particularly meaningful to me. during the time that we were working on it, my son was a disaffected, unhappy high school student. there was a day where i was on the way to take them to school and he was looking glum, as usual, and so halfway to school, i turned around and said, how

about if i tell the school you are sick and you come make tiles with us, so there is a tile that he made to. it is a little bird. the relationship with a work of art is something that develops over time, and if you have memories connected with a place from when you are a child, and you come back and you see it again with the eyes of an adult, it is a different thing and is just part of what makes the city an exciting place. [♪]

>> the market is one of our vehicles for reaching out to public and showing them how to prepare delicious simple food. people are amazed that the library does things like that. biblio bistro is a food education program. it brings such joy to people. it teaches them life skills that they can apply anywhere and it encourages them to take

care of themselves. my name is leaf hillman and i'm a librarian and biblio bistro is my creation. i'm a former chef and i have been incubating this idea for many years. we are challenged to come up with an idea that will move the library into the future. this inspired me to think, what can we do around cooking? what can i do around cooking? we were able to get a cart. the charlie cart is designed to bring cooking to students in elementary students that has enough gear on it to teach 30 students cooking. so when i saw that i thought bingo, that's what we're missing. you can do cooking classes in the library, but without a kitchen, it's difficult.

to have everything contained on wheels that's it. i do cooking demonstrations out at the market every third wednesday. i feature a seafood, vegetable, and i show people how to cook the vegetable. >> a lot of our residents live in s.r.o.s single resident occupancies and they don't have access to full kitchens. you know, a lot of them just have a hot plate, a microwave, and the thing that biblio bistro does really well is cook food accessible in season and make it available that day. >> we handout brochures with the featured recipe on the back. this recipe features mushrooms, and this brochure will bring our public back to the library. >> libraries are about a good

time. >> i hired a former chef. she's the tickle queen at the ramen shop in rockwood. we get all ages. we get adults and grandparents and babies and, you know school-age kids and it's just been super terrific. >> i was a bit reluctant because i train teachers and adults. i don't train children. i don't work with children, and i find it very interesting and a bit scary, but working here really taught me a lot you know how easily you can influence by just showing them what we have and it's not threatening, and it's tasty and fun. i make it really fun with kids because i don't look like a

teacher. >> in the mix, which is our team center, we have programs for our kids who are age 13 to 18 and those are very hands on. the kids often design the menu. all of our programs are very interactive. >> today, we made pasta and garlic bread and some sauce. usually, i don't like bell pepper in my sauce, but i used bell pepper in my sauce, and it complemented the sauce really well. i also grated the garlic on my bread. i never thought about that technique before but i did it and it was so delicious. >> we try to teach them techniques where they can go home and tell their families i made this thing today, and it

was so delicious. >> they're kind of addicted to these foods, these processed foods, like many people are. i feel like we have to do what we can to educate people about that. the reality is we have to live in a world that has a lot of choices that aren't necessarily good for you all the time. >> this is interesting, but it's a reaction to how children are brought up. it is fast-food, and the apple is a fast-food, and so that sort of changes the way they think about convenience, how eating apple is convenient. >> one of the things that i love about my program out at the market is the surprise and delight on people's faces when they finally taste the vegetable. it's been transformative for some people. they had never eaten those vegetables before but now they eat them on a regular basis. >> all they require is a hot

plate and a saute pan, and they realize that they're able to cook really healthy, and it's also tasty. >> they also understand the importance of the connection that we're making. these are our small business owners that are growing our food and bringing it fresh to the market for them to consume, and then, i'm helping them consume it by teaching them how to cook. >> it connects people to the food that they're buying. >> the magic of the classes in the children's center and the team center is that the participants are cooking the food themselves and once they do that they understand their connection to the food to the tools, and it empowers them. >> we're brokering new experiences for them so that is very much what's happening in the biblio bistro program. >> we are introducing kids many times to new vocabulary.

names of seasonings, names of vegetables names of what you call procedures. >> i had my little cooking experience. all i cooked back then was grilled cheese and scrambled eggs. now, i can actually cook curry and a few different thing zblz and . >> and the parents are amazed that what we're showing them to cook is simple and inexpensive. i didn't know this was so easy to make. i've only bought it in the market. those comments have been amazing and yeah, it's been really wonderful. >> we try to approach everything here with a well just try it.

just try it once, and then, before you know it, it's gone. >> a lot of people aren't sure how to cook cauliflower or kale or fennel or whatever it is, and leah is really helpful at doing that. >> i think having someone actually teaching you here is a great experience. and it's the art of making a meal for your family members and hope that they like it. >> i think they should come and have some good food good produce that is healthy and actually very delicious. >> cooking is one of my biggest passions, to be able to share, like my passion with others, and skills to h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h h

>> i don't want to be involved in the process after it happens. i want to be there at the front end to help people with something in my mind from a very early age. our community is the important way to look at things even now. george floyd was huge. it opened up wounds and a discussion on something festering for a long time. before rodney king. you can look at all the instances where there are calls for change. i think we are involved in change right now in this moment that is going to be long lasting. it is very challenging. i was the victim of a crime when i was in middle school. some kids at recess came around at pe class and came to the locker room and tried to steal

my watch and physically assaulted me. the officer that helped afterwards went out of his way to check the time to see how i was. that is the kind of work, the kind of perspective i like to have in our sheriff's office regardless of circumstance. that influenced me a lot. some of the storefronts have changed. what is mys is that i still see some things that trigger memories. the barbershop and the shoe store is another one that i remember buying shoestrings and getting my dad's old army boots fixed. we would see movies after the first run. my brother and i would go there. itit is nice. if you keep walking down sacramento. the nice think about the city it takes you to japan town. that is where my grandparents

were brought up. that is the traditional foods or movies. they were able to celebrate the culture in that community. my family also had a dry-cleaning business. very hard work. the family grew up with apartments above the business. we have a built-in work force. 19 had 1 as -- 1941 as soon as that happened the entire community was fixed. >> determined to do the job as democracy should with real consideration for the people involved. >> the decision to take every one of japan niece american -- o japanese from their homes. my family went to the mountains and experienced winter and

summer and springs. they tried to make their home a home. the community came together to share. they tried to infuse each home are little things. they created things. i remember my grand mother saying they were very scared. they were worried. they also felt the great sense of pride. >> japanese americans. >> my grand granduncle joined the 442nd. when the opportunity came when the time that was not right. they were in the campaign in italy. they were there every step of the way. >> president truman pays tribute. >> that was the most decorated

unit in the history of the united states army. commitment and loyal to to the country despite that their families were in the camp at that time. they chose to come back to san francisco even after all of that. my father was a civil servant as well and served the state of california workers' compensation attorney and judge and appellate board. my parents influenced me to look at civil service s.i applied to police and sheriff's department at the same time. the sheriff's department grabbed me first. it was unique. it was not just me in that moment it was everyone. it wasn't me looking at the crowd. it was all of us being together. i was standing there alone. i felt everyone standing next to me.

the only way to describe it. it is not about me. it is from my father. my father couldn't be there. he was sick. the first person i saw was him. i still sometimes am surprised by the fact i see my name as the sheriff. i am happy to be in the position i am in to honor their memory doing what i am doing now to help the larger comment. when i say that we want to be especially focused on marginalized communities that have been wronged. coming from my background and my family experienced what they did. that didn't happen in a vacuum. it was a decision made by the government. nobody raised their voice. now, i think we are in a better place as country and community.

when we see something wrong we have change agents step up to help the community affected. that is a important thing to continue to do. you talk about change and being a leader in change and not knowing whether you have successes or results. the fact of the matter is by choosing to push for change you have already changed things. through inspiration for others, take up the matter or whether it is through actual functional change as a result of your voice being heard. i think you have already started on a path to change by choosing that path. in doing that in april of itself creates change. i continue in that type of service for my family. something i hope to see in my children. i have a pretty good chance with five children one will go into some sort of civil service. i hope that happens to continue

that legacy. >> i am paul sheriff of san francisco. [ music ]

in this san francisco office there are about 1400 employees. and they're working in roughly 400,000 square feet. we were especially pleased that cleanpowersf offers the super green 100% clean energy not

only for commercial entities like ours but also for residents of the city of san francisco. we were pleased with the package of services they offered and we're now encouraging our employees who have residence in san francisco to sign on as well. we didn't have any interruption of service or any problems with the switch over to cleanpowersf. this clean power opportunity reflects that. i would encourage any large business in san francisco to seriously consider converting and upgrading to the cleanpowersf service. it's good for the environment, it's good for business and it's good for the community.
