followed. the department will have asked those questions, it's not incumbent upon to be the watchdog of this. we write the laws. we're not the watchdog of the implementation of this. i want to thank supervisor peskin for working with our office on this, and other entities. this is a good first step. it will help to clarify lot of the confusion that's out there as it relates it behested payments. administrator actions will be off the table. as we send it to the ethics commission. we're sending something to the ethics commission for review. currently, they have to agree to what we're proposing. hopefully, these are thoughtful amendments it that the ethics commission will accept, then ultimately, we will be able to proceed with confidence that we're heading in the right direction. thank you. with that, colleagues, the rest i submit.

>> clerk: supervisor stefani, submit, thank you. supervisor walton. >> president walton: i'm introducing a landmark designation for the st. james presbyterian church at 240 leland avenue. at the moment visitation valley currently has no historical landmark designations. this will be the first. in partnership with the visitation valley history project, community members worked on identifying preservation projects and address the neighborhoods underrepresentation in the cities of official inventory of hick buildings. through a month-long campaign to identify the neighborhood's first city landmark designation, residents and community members voted for st. james presbyterian church. st. james presbyterian church was established in 1908, in it first few years of visitation

valley's history as a city neighborhood. originally, in 1906, a group came from the university mound presbyterian church and started a sunday school and visitation valley at the bay shore hall, located at the present visitation valley branch library. on april 26, 1908 the congregation formed with 69 original members. after outgrowing its original building, the congregation commissioned juliet morgan, one of california's most heralded master architects and engineers, to design the current church. design, arts and craft style, the current st. james presbyterian church building was dedicated on march 13, 1923 and will celebrate centennial next year in 2023.

the prominent stain glass window on the church's facade, long-time symbol of the st. james community, depicts the parable of the sower. st. james was the first filipino presbyterian ministry by the presbyterian of san francisco in the late 1980s. through decades of demographic and generational changes and now coming off the covid pandemic of 2020, a small congregation of mostly filipino families continues to this day, persevering as a church just like the group did in 1908. i am also introducing a hearing request by the civil grand jury.

shadow ground water rising with sea level rise and residual hazardous substances could pose very serious risks to san francisco. we have been working with the navy, the environmental protection agency, san francisco department of public health to address the ground water rise. i'm requesting the sfpuc, navy, san francisco department of public health and other agencies to review the civil grand jury report and report back to the board of supervisors on what each agency's response is to the recommendations from the civil grand jury report.

the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you. mr. president. supervisor chan? >> supervisor chan: thank you. colleagues, today, i have three items submitting. first is i'm honored to introduce a consider if the landmark designation of lincoln mark, once a burial ground for fraternal society. the historic preservation commission voted to approve a resolution to recommend landmark designation, pursuant to article 10 of the planning code.

as a chinese immigrant this is a deeply personal moment for me to honor the history and sacrifice of chinese immigrants before my own arrival as a first generation immigrant. as we reflect upon the history and stories of the site and structures, we intentionally choose to landmark. it is important to consider how we center racial equity in the role of planning and risk preservation. this landmark will shed light and protect a key piece of the history and contribution of chinese immigrants and many immigrants who contributed to literally building our city. next, last week, supervisor preston and i attended a press conference in support of the resident physicians committee of intern and residents seiu. member, they work at st. mary's

medical center. located right on the border of district 1 and 5. it doesn't matter. we are united together, we stand with them. these members are your front line healthcare workers and primary caregivers of our sick and vulnerable and those in need. they have been facing the same struggles as working people across the bay area. working under high rates of stress, long hours without enough rest and high cost of housing and student debt. they are currently in negotiations for a new contract and to try and address some of the economic and equity needs, despite some limited progress, talks have stalled. in order for medical systems to attract and retain the most skilled and most talented medical professionals, employers like st. mary's and dignity health must be competitive and offer comparable compensations and benefits in the bay area.

please note that st. mary's residents are the lowest paid in san francisco and in east bay. yet, they live in the most expensive cities in california. one of the most expensive cities in the nation. this is critical to the health of our community, because we know that having the best healthcare workers means better patient care. that means better care for our entire community. supporting our workers and having fair compensation that allows all of our essential workers to live and work in san francisco means get the best doctors to care for our communities. that's why i'm introducing this resolution with supervisor preston today to urge st. mary back to negotiation table and to work collaboratively with the resident workers for a fair contract to retain theirist

examining staff as well as continue to attract the best and brightest medical students to san francisco. i'm also introducing a resolution urging the department of alcoholic beverage control to delay implementation of the responsible beverage service training program. this training program was created to promote safer consumption of alcohol drinks by requiring alcohol servers to take up training in the program, which is great. the implementation of the program was delayed due to pandemic. now as small businesses continue to recover from the pandemic, they are faced with coming into compliance with the training program by august 31, 2022. from what we learned, the state

is woefully unprepared to provide outreach that is needed by that deadline. the resolution is urging governor newsom and department of alcoholic beverage control to delay the implementation of the program. right now there's only english and very little spanish training for them. you can imagine, in san francisco, we have such a diverse restaurants and bar business. they really are not prepared for this training to meet the deadline august 31, 2022. if a.b.c., do not delay this, many of our small businesses in

our neighborhoods are going to be penalized. we all know we have a lot of servers that are either monolingual or limited english proficiency. i urge for your support with this resolution today. thank you and rest of i submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor dorsey? >> i'm introducing a street ordinance on long standing land. the purpose of the street vacation which is known as an air space vacation is to allow the transbay joint powers authority to convert small portion of notomas street.

i look forward to seeing the next phase of the project move forward. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you madam clerk. i have some legislation i'll submit, a resolution and a couple of in memoriams. the resolution i'm is introducing is urging airline service contractorring operating at the san francisco international airport to uphold living wage laws and maintain airport safety standards.

my office worked on this resolution with seiu, united service workers west which represent service workers across california including more than 7200 workers at our airport. this workforce is made up of predominantly black, brown and immigrant employees. i met with seiu, ibew workers to describe contractors have been failing to protect their workers. as these glee -- employees explained, they are not receiving benefits which they are entitled. workers reported not receiving adequate breaks and being overlooked and not compensated for their time. this is not the first time that board has weighed in to support our airline service workers. in 2020, the board passed an ordinance amending the administrative code to require

employers to offer covered employees a platinum level family health benefit level plan at no cost to the employee. in march 2021, we introduced a resolution urging them to exercise administrative december discretion. whiling the airlines are benefiting from some of the profitable years, airline service employees are experiencing work conditions that undermine the standard that this board sought to protect.

i'm introducing this resolution to allow the board to continue to hold the airline employers accountable to maintain jobs for employees. thank you board. i'm asking that we adjourn in memory of michael meryan. he was a serious and thoughtful advocate for the san francisco queer community and fighting for awareness and justice for people living with hiv-aids. michael was a frontline counselor where he provided counseling to hiv positive san n franciscans with mental health diagnosis. between 2008 and 2010 michael served as a board member of the

san francisco lgbt center which i got to know him and appreciate him. in his role at center and his ongoing volunteer work, michael was instrumental across san francisco. in june 2019, michael was diagnosed with stage 4 pancreatic cancer. he continued to fight and 7 as inspiration to those who knew him. michael was surrounded by he closest end in and family when he died on good friday and ramadan. he's survived by his partner timmy ryan. rest in power. the second in memoriam, i'm asking that we close this meeting board of supervisors in memory of eleanor george burke who died on may 26th each a

two-year of colon cancer. i'm going to ask supervisor stefani to do this. >> supervisor stefani: today supervisor mandelman is asking that we close this meeting of the board of supervisors in memory of eleanor george burke who died on may 26th after two-year battle with colon cancer. born in 1938, she lived in san francisco nearly her entire life. she attended grant school, burke high school, stanford where she met her husband and then san francisco state. eleanor was a great and intimidating teacher. she taught for two years before joining the faculty while also teaching writing class in the

evenings. they became a legend there. her minimal decency test was a write of passage for every junior who have to demonstrate basic rules of correct writing to make it through her english composition class. she gave the world better writers, better thinkers and better people. eleanor and bernie raised three kids of their open. the freshman was supervisor mandelman. he was able to go on to make something of himself. eleanor was a woman of creative obsessions. she loved drawing and water color and found time for these side hobbies. early on, she did pin an ink drawing of houses around the united states but mostly, victorian houses in san francisco which were popular at art galleries and department

stores. she turned her earrings often representing scenes from literature or favorite quotes. she retired from teaching in 1995 and after a yearlong journey around the world, started creating books of her colorful sketches. her first book captured the charm of rushing hill. her second book sketching san francisco's neighborhoods captured scenes she sketched on her ambulations around the city. her son t fred, who lives with his family, convinced her to do a sketch book about that city she loved visiting. her sketch book had three prints. her next sketch book a walker sketch book of san francisco, was a creation of daily journeys, walking every street in the city where she counted 2289. her final book, walking manhattan neighborhoods, is a

compilations of the city where her daughter was born. she spent time taking classes, traveling, reading, baseball and stanford women's basketball. she served on multiple boards. she paid attention to politics and knew who she liked and who she didn't. aaron peskin, her supervisor on rushing hill, were particular favorite. eleanor is survived by burney, her husband of 63 years who just a gem. son, fred burke and daughter-in-law, daughter's wendy and leslie and son-in-law. four beloved grandchildren.

five nieces and nephews, supervisor mandelman and hundreds of other former students who learned how to write and think from ms. burke. rest in peace, eleanor, your memory is a blessing. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. the rest i submit. >> clerk: supervisor peskin? >> supervisor peskin: thank you, madam clerk. i like to be added to the in memoriam for eleanor burke. my condolences to mandelman, she was a treasure and delight. i'm very sorry. >> clerk: thank you. mr. president, seeing no other names on the roster, that

concludes the introduction of new business. >> president walton: thank you. i want to extend my condolences to supervisor mandelman and take this in memoriam on behalf of the entire board of supervisors. >> clerk: noted. >> president walton: thank you. we are now at public comment. >> clerk: at this time, the board of supervisors welcomes general public comment. we'll hear from those present in the chamber. if you line up where you are, near the windows there. then we'll hear from those who joined remotely. once the remote system is cycled through the first time. we will not be reopening the queue even if you joined after it's been closed. you must be connected to the remote call in system. the telephone number is

>> clerk: thank you for being with us this afternoon. we are setting the timer for two minutes. let's hear from the first speaker here in the room. welcome. >> good afternoon. i've been in the airline industry for more than 40 years, 33 years in the philippines, 14

years in san francisco. presently, i'm the union rep at san francisco. also i'm on the bargaining team. i work as an agent to ensure people with disability and anyone is able to travel safely.

this has had an immediate impact on our members who have full time work hours and now suddenly, working as part-time. meaning, some of them are working only four hours. come to think about it, your -- [ indiscernible ] >> clerk: thank you for your

comments. next speaker, please. >> thank you, madam clerk. it's a privilege to address the world famous board of supervisors. i want to thank you, madam clerk and the president your leadership for this covid crises. i hope it was possible to shake your hand to say thank you. i want to commend supervisor melgar for that rescue operation next weekend. i'm here today, what we're calling stephanie tuesday, i want to thank the board of supervisors for delivering policy and change not thoughts and prayers when it comes to dealing with gun violence. we've all had enough. you guys have come up with policy and change. i salute you, all of you. sorry.

i want to appreciate supervisor maverick for calling the n.r.a. the phone booth of lobbyist, hardly seen and ancient history. we can end this vicious cycle and live free of gun violence. i agree, also, it does not feel like a free country when we know our -- [ indiscernible ] enough. it is past time for congress to listen to this body of leaders, courageous leaders and copy your policy and change. it's working. with 17 seconds left to go, i want to spend some of that time asking you to support the innocence commission, no matter what happened to the recall

tonight. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you. welcome. please approach the podium. >> hello. my name is tony. i was here to say, in regards to hiring more police officers, one of the biggest problems with people in security positions is that they can't get treatment for diseases that they catch at hospitals. this is ongoing situation. it's been addressed here in our state with sanctuary and what not. the average person going to a hospital that's a police officer, they can't always get treatment for wounds that they have at a standard hospital facility.

there are options from fentanyl and all kind of different things that you can acquire on the street that can keep you alive. these people can't be left to die because the hospital won't give it to them directly. this is something that the state has to be serious about. in the age of the mask, there's no other reality. that's something to think about. there needs to be some sort of substance clearness for people in law enforcement. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker please. >> good evening. my name is camille roberts. i am the airport division coordinator with seiu, i'm here to protect airport workers at

s.f.o. i want to thank supervisor mandelman for taking the lead on this resolution and president walton, supervisor mar and preston and chan. since the beginning of the pandemic, our members risked their lives to ensure that the operations of the airport was maintained. low wage of essential workers who are disproportionately workers of color have shouldered the burden. as flights picked back up at the airlines and airlines began to increase profits, their hours are being cut and workload is increasing. this is both unsustainable an harmful. many employees travel across the region from places like vallejo, antioch to san francisco. you cannot feed your payment and pay rent and afford gas on these cut hours. we urge airlines to settle a fair contract and protect full-time hours. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your

comments to the board. welcome. >> hello. i'm jackson west. i have been a resident of san francisco for 18 years. since being released from jail, in march of this year on charges i don't believe will stand, i have experienced extraordinary distribution in the matter of housing. i believe that someone what may not have been a member of the hot team was arranged to intercept me and bring me to the next door shelter at 1001 polk. where on multiple occasions i woke up with contusions to my ribs. during the time i stayed there off and on, i have contracted at the very least, a plate.

i had my wrist broken to prevent me from filling out forms. i have been denied access to phones, my mail and i have been robbed of clothes and other personal items on the site of the shelter. that is just tip of the iceberg. considering the amount of available housing in the city, that everyone who is homeless is not home is a shame and disgrace. thank you for your time. >> clerk: thank you for your comments to the board. are there any members of the public who are here in the chamber who are wishing to speak to the board during general public comment. last chance. all right. let's go to remote system. we have joe adkins working the line. there are six callers listening and three callers in the queue. let's hear from the first

caller. i'm going to stop you for a moment sir. we can barely hear what you can saying. if you can speak closer if your phone. we'll hear you more clearly. >> caller: can you hear me now? >> clerk: yes, we can. i will set your timer for two minutes. >> caller: okay, thank you. what about two and a half minutes? basically, i've been listening to you all. i think, the message i have for you all is to address is issues.

only way you can learn about quality of life issues is by taking a course in needs assessment. if you take a course in needs assessment -- [ indiscernible ] nothing has changed on the streets. nothing has changed with muni. nothing has changed to education, the san francisco public schools. you have a $40 billion budget. incorporate a needs assessment

course. the citizens of this great city can enjoy quality of life issues. right now, we are in a war zone. emergency must be declared. even though some of all are against guns, a time will come when you have to have a gun to defend yourself. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next caller. >> caller: good afternoon. this is patricia erik. i'm a retired faculty member at city college of san francisco. i live in district 4.

this morning, at the c.t.a. meeting, you approved $850,000 to install bike racks in san francisco. you're using funds that came from it driver vehicle registration. you spend this money on a small minority of people who ride bikes. this is just a continuation of your hostile takeover of the streets of san francisco. your agency, sfmta are ignoring your own climate action plan, which clearly shows that the most expedient plan to clean a air in san francisco is to convert gas-powered vehicles to electric vehicles. according to your climate action plan figures, page 77 of the plan, all your seven strategies to reduce greenhouse gases is converting to evs is 89% effective.

well biking and walking is 1%. electric vehicles are 130% more effective over biking and walking but you do nothing to increase charging stations or offer incentives to encourage the purchase of e.v.s. we are tired of this for elite few, the majority bikers are white males and one in four make over $250,000 a year. at the expense of real needs of working people and senior family and disabled. you have spent millions of dollars on bike lanes, etcetera and not a dime on the vast majority of tax paying residents who should be encouraged to transfer to electric vehicles. as supervisor melgar has stated in her new letter, you are not converting city vehicles to

electric vehicles. >> clerk: thank you for your comment to the board this evening. we have about six listeners in the queue. hand full callers who are ready to make their comment. if you are one of the six in the listening queue, you should press star 3 now. otherwise we'll take this final group to the end. next caller please. >> caller: hi. i just wanted to say that last speaker was accurate in ways that i so rarely hear. i'm so grateful for everything she said. i really missed the sidewalks from my youth when i was a child, tranquil and peaceful and safe they were. you weren't nearly being hit by a scooters. there weren't angry white guys on bicycle who are profane when

you don't want to be hit by them when they trap you in the street. when the lights change. they feel entitled because the city will back them no matter what. they're an industry. i completely understand why it will be difficult to recruit law enforcement, because what laws are being enforced equally among the affluent and the non-affluent. i suspect it will be very scary, currently, to apply for position in law enforcement in san francisco and not really know what the laws are. it's a very dangerous place to be if you're not affluent. i suspect it's very dangerous

for new law enforcement who are trying, initially, to enforce the law. yet, well, the affluent always win. the affluent in san francisco can break the law at will. law enforcement is not encouraged to do paperwork. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. do we have another caller in the queue? >> there are no further callers in the queue. >> clerk: thank you. mr. president? >> president walton: public comment is now closed. for anyone who is calling in virtually. do we have any public commenters

in the chamber? >> clerk: i don't believe so. >> president walton: public comment is closed for everyone. madam clerk, we will come back to our closed session item 91. can you please call our for adoption agenda items 92-94. >> clerk: items were introduced for adoption without committee reference. unanimous vote required for resolution on first reading today. alternatively, a member may require a resolution on first reading to go to committee. >> president walton: thank you, madam clerk. i don't see anyone on the roster, let's call the roll for adoption without committee reference. >> clerk: on items 92-94. mar is absent. [roll call vote]

there are 10 ayes. >> president walton: thank you. this resolution is adopted and the motions are approved unanimously. madam clerk, let's call our close session item 91. >> clerk: a conference with the city attorney for anticipated litigation. this is a close the session for the board to convene a closed session this evening. june 7, 2022 regarding anticipated litigation which the city may be a plaintiff or defendant, regarding existing and formal future claims and demands submitted for damage to real and personal property by

hotels that have operated as shelter-in-place possibilities during the covid-19 pandemic. this closed session was approved pursuant to a motion 22-09, approve on may 24, 2022. >> president walton: thank you, madam clerk. members of the public if you still with us, please clear the chamber if you're not here as a participant in closed session. we will also be having deliberations in closed sessions for folks who may be on team. we will return after our deliberations. we are now going to closed session. >> president walton: , we are now back to resume our regular june 7, 2022 board of supervisors meeting. back from closed session.

i like start off by entertaining a motion that the board finds it is in the best interest of the public that the board elect not to disclose its closed session deliberations made by supervisor mandelman, seconded by supervisor dorsey. madam clerk? >> clerk: on the motion not to disclose. [roll call vote]. there are 11 ayes. we will not disclose our closed session deliberation. madam clerk, do we have any imperative agenda items.

>> clerk: we do not. >> president walton: thank you. we are now in memoriam. supervisor peskin does have in memoriam. >> supervisor peskin: it is with great sadness that i like to have the board of supervisors adjourn today for gina moscone. our condolences to her children. >> president walton: thank you. madam clerk, would you present in the memoriam. >> clerk: the meeting will be adjourned on behalf of michael, late ms. eleanor burke.

>> president walton: do we have any more business before us? >> clerk: we have no more business today. >> president walton: it makes no money to respect the individual, it make takes no political deal to respect freedom. it fakes no survey to remove repression. harvey milk, this meeting is adjourned.

>> this is a huge catalyst for change. >> it will be over 530,000 gross

square feet plus two levels of basement. >> now the departments are across so many locations it is hard for them to work together and collaborate and hard for the customers to figure out the different locations and hours of operation. >> one of the main drivers is a one stopper mitt center for -- permit center. >> special events. we are a one stop shop for those three things. >> this has many different uses throughout if years. >> in 1940s it was coca-cola and the flagship as part of the construction project we are retaining the clock tower. the permit center is little working closely with the digital services team on how can we modernize and move away from the paper we use right now to move to a more digital world. >> the digital services team was

created in 2017. it is 2.5 years. our job is to make it possible to get things done with the city online. >> one of the reasons permitting is so difficult in this city and county is really about the scale. we have 58 different department in the city and 18 of them involve permitting. >> we are expecting the residents to understand how the departments are structured to navigate through the permitting processes. it is difficult and we have heard that from many people we interviewed. our goal is you don't have to know the department. you are dealing with the city. >> now if you are trying to get construction or special events permit you might go to 13 locations to get the permit. here we are taking 13 locations into one floor of one location which is a huge improvement for the customer and staff trying to

work together to make it easy to comply with the rules. >> there are more than 300 permitting processes in the city. there is a huge to do list that we are possessing digital. the first project is allowing people to apply online for the a.d.u. it is an accessory dwelling unit, away for people to add extra living space to their home, to convert a garage or add something to the back of the house. it is a very complicated permit. you have to speak to different departments to get it approved. we are trying to consolidate to one easy to due process. some of the next ones are windows and roofing. those are high volume permits. they are simple to issue. another one is restaurant permitting. while the overall volume is lower it is long and complicated business process. people struggle to open

restaurants because the permitting process is hard to navigate. >> the city is going to roll out a digital curing system one that is being tested. >> when people arrive they canshay what they are here to. it helps them workout which cue they neat to be in. if they rant to run anker rapid she can do that. we say you are next in line make sure you are back ready for your appointment. >> we want it all-in-one location across the many departments involved. it is clear where customers go to play. >> on june 5, 2019 the ceremony was held to celebrate the placement of the last beam on top of the structures. six months later construction is complete. >> we will be moving next summer. >> the flu building -- the new building will be building.

it was designed with light in mind. employees will appreciate these amenities. >> solar panels on the roof, electric vehicle chargers in the basement levels, benefiting from gray watery use and secured bicycle parking for 300 bicycles. when you are on the higher floors of the building you might catch the tip of the golden gate bridge on a clear day and good view of soma. >> it is so exciting for the team. it is a fiscal manifestation what we are trying to do. it is allowing the different departments to come together to issue permits to the residents. we hope people can digitally come to one website for permits. we are trying to make it digital

so when they come into the center they have a high-quality interaction with experts to guide then rather than filling in forms. they will have good conversations with our staff.

>> -- to the flag of the united states of america and no to the republic for which it stands, one nation under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. acting president elias, may i take role now? >> please. >> commissioner benedicto. >> present. >> commissioner yanez will be joining us shortly. >> a commissioner carter-oberstone? >> present. >> commissioner burn. >> here. >> commissioner yee? commissioner yee?
