>> thank you. hold on, please. why thank you. clothes and public this legislation is a result of reporting by our local media. especially the san francisco standard. that found that city standards for nonprofit oversight could use improve am. and spent time talking to different city departments and those in the community. this ordinance is our first step to clean up nonprofit over assignment i want to acknowledge supervisor stefani who is working on ensure nonprofits perform when they negotiated and performance standards. and the simple problem we have

and trying to solve for is boy law nonprofiters poseed have key approvals before operating. however, there is no central city agency charged with ensthurg they do. so city law requires nonprofits to report basic information to the city add administrator. the name of the ceo. board of directors and annual budget and does in the require them to demonstrate their legal low authorized in san francisco to operate. most important low in this legislation is tht irs recognize them as a 5 interior 1c3 incorporated for charity purposes and donors get a tax deduction and file tax returns a 990 if than i have more than 50 thousand dollars in revenue. the state of california requires registration with charitiable trust in the attorney general's

office this . filing ensures a californian can contact the attorney general if they suspect wrong doing. sometimes nonprofits must be audit when they have federal funds this is flow through san francisco for health and human services program. it closed a loophole departments receive reports the conflict is real the department weapon a contractor may not want to shoin a light on that. what we have here exit handed out, clotheless we made a few changes working with our controller. ben and our city attorney. so online 7 andave strike language and add city administrator want its make information public. on the second page, add-on lines 13-17, shall file with the city

add administrator or otherwise make public low available in a manner authorized by the city add administrator. and annual economic statement. that includes the following information and listed this information. and page 3, we add that the controller shall review compliance with the environments of 10.within and shall report any findings of noncompliance bn by an organization to the administrator, mayor and board of supervisors the city arbitrate not this is on page 4 lines 1-12, shall not enters in new contracts with none compliant organizations determined by the controller abcents a written report of finding of necessity by the controller and the city administrator. >> city administrator shall ensure that the information received under this section is made accessible. and then goes on to state the

city administrator with the controller adopt rules to implement 10.1 including rules stake a dead line for submission of economic statement. the manner in which reported information shall be made accessible and guidelines review of compliance and notice of nonmroins of final rules published by the administrator's website and sent to the clerk of the board and mayor upon adoption. so those were the last amendments and this it is designed to ensure what people are following the rowels laid out we have a central like for this information. people need that information public low accessible and the kreller will ensure there is oversight and accountsability work width city administrator. i think that is important given in light of the things we have

seen last few years where am simple checks of compliance of economic statement, 501c3 status. audits conducted if those steps philidelphia it is a red energy there might be problems with the organizations. and in that case, it allows to catch it early before there are learninger problems as shown by the audit conducted by the controller where we had now have some patrol agencies coming into the nonprofits. and investigating further. so we want to ensurety money spent and given to many of the wonderful nonprofits we worked with in the city continue in thes right marine manner and shine a light on those not operate nothing good faith. thank you. >> thank you. upon straightforward. i don't know if this is

something the controller or city administrator would want to i don't have questions for you. >> thank you, that would be good i would like to allow the controller an opportunity to say a word or 2. that would be helpful. jost good morning supervisors. city controller. we appreciate the work of supervisor safai on this ordinance and willingness to work with us the administrator's office and on nonprofits to ensure this is moving transparency forward in a way that minimizes paperwork and acknowledges staff everies to comply. we think tell improve transparency. and i'm available to answer questions you have. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai. >> no questions from me. >> seeing no one on the roster. mr. clerk open up to public comment. >> members who wish to peek on this and joining person line up to speak now along side should lineup to speak now.

for those remote on the call in line press star 3. no parties in the room near public comment can we have our first caller for public comment? >> good morning supervisors it is debbie learnman from human service network. we share your concern about nonprofit in good status with the state attorney general's charity legislation requirements and left year's report was a big surprise to all of us. perspective on the issue it is important that there are many reasons for delinquent stchlts men they submit on time but months of drill in state processing and website update post pandemic.

in some case a failure to use a new form in 2022. and if you have more complicated issues date back many years and current staff were not, wear. majority of identified nonprofits are now in compliance or in process of doing so. we agree it important to ensure nonprofits are current and support transparency and account act but concerned this adding now overly burdensome or duplication requirements go beyond what is mess and cost low and time consurmg. rather requiring everyone to submit documents we support amendments implement an alternative compliance option. that would make the documents publicly available, on a nonprofit's website. would be available for the public and for city oversight the controller review compliance and the city would maintain

flexibility to debar contractors that fail to comply but ensure vielth service continue contractors correct their status with the state. we thank supervisor safai and other members of the body for your consideration of the controller's proposed amendments. thank you. thank you. next caller, please. >> can you hear me. >> proceed. >> great. david pilpel. this item i note the proposed threshold go from zero to 100 thousand dollars. those entities this receive this or more required comply. i compare third degree to the 250 thousand dollars threshold in administrative code 12l.3e the nonprofit public access to

records meaning organizations. ordinance the history on this guess back lit irrelevant 25 years to then spierz tom amiano effort on nonprofit transparency and achieve egg fair comp moiz on the level of the -- threshold required for reporting and the reporting and public access requirements for those nonprofits and the considerable efforts by the controller's office over the years on compliance and capacity building for nonprofits. i encourage you as you look at the amendments today to consider whether you want i different threshold here in this section of law compared to the threshold in 12l. >> thanks for listening. >> thank you.

that was our left caller for public comment on this merit. thank you. public comment on item 6 is closed. >> thank you, mr. chair like to make a motion to sept amendments read in the record. >> thank you, supervisor. mr. clerk a roll call yoochl on the motion to sept amendments vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair dorsey. >> aye. >> the motion passes without objection. >> thank you, mr. young item 6 the code limit the application. no. we gotta do as amended >> sorry >> [laughter]. okay. >> now i like to make a motion to sends this item to the full board as amended. why on the motion to with the recommendation with positive recommendation, vice chair walton. >> aye. >> supervisor safai. >> aye >> chair dorsey. >> aye yoochlt motion passes without objection.

on may 8. and at that time accepted amendments made at the behest of supervisor chan. i ask for a continuance to give the park rec open space committee an opportunity to discuss this, which they had i believe left week at their meeting. since then, supervisor chan has requested an additional amendment and her staff kelly is here to poke to that. and i as of this morning am suggest yet one more amendment. which i believe to be nonsubstantive name low at page 2 line 3, to add a sentence to the affect this alternate members are encouraged to attend and participate in meetings and

prosac committee meetings. and department city attorney can word smith this. but this is the intent and language this i suggest. specific low to insofar as this legislation takes a 23 member body and turns it to a then member body will make quorum and i think allow for each supervisor to have more direct input but also has 11 alternate members, this is irrelevant and prosac, rarely votes this . is all 22 of those representatives are encouraged to attend. supervisor chan's addition of racial equity as an experience to add to senior citizen issues.

will culture being recerational and environmental youth disability is something i support and admonition to appointing authorities the 11 of us and the mayor to take those experiences into consideration. in making our appointments. and that colleagues, i would be happy to discuss it or take public comment. i know this wendy evergone the current chair of the park rekzeration open space committee is present. i will add, that there was some statements or requests as to wlo this is a provision in the chart 30 could be amended by the voters and let mow be clear, no the charter says shall be an add rise real committee the contowers what this mittee consists of and how those

appointments are made is went purview of the board of supervisors. thank you, president supervisor peskin. mention that there is a representative? kelly? >> thank you. chair dorsey and vice chair walton and supervisor safai. one additional amendment to the legislation this adds racial equity. and i distributed hard copies and you should have one in your in box as well. this is approveed form and not substantive in the long title on page one line 7 adds rishlth equity after environmental justice and on page 2 line 10 adds racial equity after disability and i'm happy to answer questions. thank you. >> thank you. >> and chair dorsey i will add after a long and robust discussion at prosac we are all

in receipt from mr. young this morning a resolution from prosac requesting another mont continue. this one i continued left month. my colleagues took exception to that and i don't know in another mont will serve us so. i adopt to put this on the referred common we will hear from the chair of the prosac committee shortly >> thank you, president supervisor peskin. >> no questions on the roster. mr. clerk open up to public comment. why y members of the public when wish to speak and joining person lineup to speak. for those remote on the call in line press star 3 to enter the speaker line. our in person speaker, please? good morning i'm windsy argone

chair of p and open space i ask before i go to my public comment if the committee indulge me to read the resolution pass or have the clerk read it. >> we ask we have another month so this the riders of the legislation account come talk to us as a committee. as no one from chair supervisor peskin's office was available to come to our committee meeting we voted had 14 members, then-1 to pass this resolution we ask for another month to have someone from president supervisor peskin's office and xh and speak us. we did vote to ask for another month. i poke with president supervisor peskin today and he let me know

of the changes. my one ask would be if the committee is going to approve this and sends it forward to the full board that the 13th seat i believe for environmental justice changed to board of supervisor at large. the only person who represents environmental justice and as someone who sits on the seat. supervisor chan i feel uneasy looks like there is a special seat created for mow and we have so much talent i prefer to be a d1 representative with the background in environmental justice and allow that seat to be open to anyone and not specific to one issue. can we have our remote caller?

next caller? >> hello supervisors. i'm nick i have been on prosac for a very long time and i also haven't past chair. i would request in you do continue this, for another month so we can talk to the sponsor. we did have a discussion the past prosac meeting between ourselves and we would imagine our group to be but never had an opportunity to talk to the sponsor. about when we the people this affects would be able to talk to the experience and what we imagine the group to be. i feel that is not fair that we

didn't get a chance to talk to the sponsor about this and i would hope you would continue in the light of fairness. thank you. thank you very much. we will try our that unattended line one left time. >> can you hear me now. >> proceed. >> david pilpel. i think prosac is no more or less important than the mta. citizens advisory council or puc. and as it said in other context,ir think this committee has been large for a language time and has had not reasonable but occasionally quorum issues. i think reducing it to something like 11 members one from each

district and a mall initial either appointments by the president or the full board or mayor but making something between 11 and 17 members is more workable. and i think it is an elegant solution to have both member and alternate who can vote in the acsense of the voting member. i'm interested in substantive comments from prosac and to the extent this did in the happen after last meeting i might condition this matter again today this is entirely up to the committee. i do think the legislation get being better and the extent that a mall are sized prosac results from this this is all good. and i appreciate the work that has gone in this from supervisor

supervisor peskin and supervisor chan prosac and others. thank you. >> thank you for sharing your comments. that was your left caller on the call in line yoochl public ment on item 7 is closed. >> and i don't know if there ask anything else. vice chair walton >> thank you and want to thank all of the member of the program prosac and chair argone, thank you for coming today. i 100% agree with the intent of the ordinance and agree with the path forward i think supervisor supervisor peskin has spent the time to take feedback from prosac and committee unless he will say he wants to meet i don't see why we would continue.

president supervisor peskin. gi want to say as someone active low engaged with this period since the last 7 years they do tremendous work i want to thank the prosac members for the input than i have they get frustrated their voice my may noted always be listened to they do a good job for the community come us on the board. and there have been times where -- we have got calls from the department our members are not attending and showing up. this is i good compromise and, lus for alternatives to show up and anticipate and when than i are not there than i can fill in that's a good compromise. i appreciate president peskin thank you and make thanksgiving

adjust am. and i will supportive of this moving forward today as well. >> >> president supervisor peskin. before i ask you to move the to amendments one from supervisor chan and the other that i described, i wanted to say for the record had i would have been more then and there happy to attends the john meeting of prosac i was not or my staff was invited that is a new development. i think our policy intent is clear. i think the board of supervisors as david pilpel out lined, think this is is good and straightforward and sensible policy and brings this body in conformance with other similar bodies like the mtacac. and i would request this you

adopt the 2 amendments and send the item to the full board with positive recommendation. >> thank you, president supervisor peskin and as to the continuance i add this is not this is in the an intans in which we are trying manage in the charter or idea our roach we can't fix it moving forward. i'm disinclined to move to continue this. i would like it make a motion to incorporate the amendments made. to add racial equity tow the list of experience. on page 1 line 7 and page 2 line 10. and add alternative members are encouraged to attends and participate in meeting and mittees to page 2 lines 3 and 4. and send this as amended the board with positive recommendation. >> yes on the the motion to sxhaend recommend. vice chair walton.

raised in san francisco. cable car equipment, technically i'm a transit operator of 135 and work at the cable car (indiscernible) and been here for 22 years now. i grew up around here when i was a little can i. my mom used to hang in china town with her friends and i would get bored and they would shove me out of the door, go play and find something to do. i ended up wandering down here when i was a kid and found these things. ♪ [ music ] ♪ ♪ >> fascinated by them and i wanted to be a cable car equipment from the time i was a little kid. i started with the emergency at the end of 1988 and drove a bus for a year and a half and i got lucky with my timing and got here at cable car and at that time, it really took

about an average five to maybe seven years on a bus before you could build up your seniority to come over here. basically, this is the 1890s verse ever a bus. this is your basic public transportation and at the time at its height, 1893, there were 20 different routes ask this powerhouse, there -- and this powerhouse, there were 15 of them through out the entire city. >> i work at the cable car division and bunch with muni for 25 years and working with cable cars for 23 years. this is called the bar because these things are horses and work hard so they have to have a place to sleep at night. joking. this is called a barn because everything takes place here and the powerhouse is -- that's downstairs so that's the heart and soul of the system and this is where the cable cars sleep or sleep at night so you can put a

title there saying the barn. since 1873 and back in the day it was driven by a team and now it's electric but it has a good function as being called the barn. yeah. >> i am the superintendent of cable car vehicle maintenance. and we are on the first and a half floor of the cable car barn where you can see the cables are moving at nine and a half miles an hour and that's causing the little extra noise we're hearing now. we have 28 power cars and 12 california cars for a total of 40 revenue cars. then with have two in storage. there's four gear boxes. it's gears of the motor. they weigh close to 20 tons and they had to do a special system to get them out of here because when they put them in here, the barn was opened up. we did the whole barn

that year so it's difficult for a first of time project, we changed it one at a time and now they are all brand-new. engineer's room have the four monitors that play the speed and she monitors them and in case of an emergency, she can shutdown all four cars if she needs to. that sound you heard there, that's a gentleman building, rebuilding a cable. the cable weighs four hundred pounds each and they lost three days before we have to rebuild them. the cable car grips, the bottom point is underground with the cable. it's a giant buy strip and closes around the kab and they pull it back. the cable car weighs 2,500 people without people so it's heavy, emergency pulling it offer the hill. if it comes offer the hill, it could be one wire but if it unravels, it turns into a ball and they cannot let go of it because it opens that wide and it's a

billion pushing the grip which is pushing the whole cable car and there's no way to let go so they have to have the code 900 to shutdown in emergencies and the wood brakes last two days and wear out. a lot of maintenance. ♪ [ music ] ♪ ♪ >> rail was considered to be the

old thing. rubber tires, cars, buses, that's new. there were definitely faster and cheaper, there's no question about that. here at san francisco, we went through the same thing. the mayor decided we don't need cable cars (indiscernible), blah, blah. we can replace them with buses. they are faster and cheaper and more economical and he was right if you look at the dollars and cents part. he was right. >> back in 1947 when they voted that, i'm surprised base of the technology and the chronicle paper says cable cars out. that was the headline. that was the demise of the cable cars. >> (indiscernible) came along and said, stop. no. no, no, no. she was the first one to say we're going to fight city hall. she got her friends together and they started from a group called the save the cable car community, 1947 and managed to get it on the ballot. are we going to keep the cable cars or

not? head turned nationwide and worldwide and city hall was completely unprepared for the amount of backlash they got. this is just a bunch -- the city came out and said basically, 3-1, if i'm not mistaken, we want our cars and phil and her group managed to save what we have. and literately if it wasn't for them, there would be no cable cars. people saw something back then that we see today that you can't get rid of a beautiful and it wasn't a historical monument at the time and now it is, and it was part of san francisco. yeah, we had freight back then. we don't have that anymore. this is the number one tourist attraction in san francisco. it's historic and the only national moving monument in the world. >> the city of san francisco did keep the cable car so it's a fascinating feel of having something that is so historic going up and down these hills of san francisco. and obviously,

everyone knows san francisco is famous for their hills. [laughter] and who would know and who would guess that they were trying to get rid of it, which i guess was a crazy idea at the time because they felt automobiles were taking the place of the cable cars and getting rid of the cable car was the best thing for the city and county of san francisco, but thank god it didn't. >> how soon has the city changed? the diverse of cable cars -- when i first came to cable car, sandy barn was the first cable car. we have three or four being a grip person. fwriping cable cars is the most toughest and challenging job in the entire city. >> i want to thank our women who operate our cable cars because they are a crucial space of the city to the world. we have wonderful women -- come on

forward, yes. [cheers and applause] these ladies, these ladies, this is what it's about. continuing to empower women. >> my name is willa johnson is and i've been at cable car for 13 years. i came to san francisco when i was five years old. and that is the first time i rode a cable car and i went to see a christmas tree and we rode the cable car with the christmas worker and that was the first time i rode the cable car and didn't ride again until i worked here. i was in the medical field for a while and i wanted a change. some people don't do that but i started with the mta of september of 1999 and came over to cable car in 2008. it was a general sign up and that's

when you can go to different divisions and i signed up as a conductor and came over here and been here since. there were a few ladies that were over at woods that wanted to come over here and we had decided we wanted to leave woods and come to a different division and cable car was it. i do know there has been only four women that work the cable car in the 150 years and i am the second person to represent the cable car and i also know that during the 19, i think 60s and women were not even allowed to ride on the side of a cable car so it's exciting to know you can go from not riding on the side board of a cable car to actually grip and driving the cable car and it opened the door for a lot of

people to have the opportunity to do what they inspire to do. >> i have some people say i wouldn't make it as a conductor at woods and i came and made it as i conductor and the best thing i did was to come to this division. it's a good division. and i like ripping cable cars. i do. >> i think she just tapped into the general feeling that san francisco tend to have of, this is ours, it's special, it's unique. economically and you know, a rationale sense, does it make sense? not really. but from here, if you think from here, no, we don't need this but if you think from here, yeah. and it turns out she was right. so.... and i'm grateful to her. very grateful.

[laughter] >> three, two, one. [multiple voices] [cheers and applause] >> did i -- i did that on purpose so i wouldn't. ♪ [ music ] ♪ >> when i open up the paper every day, i'm just amazed at how many different environmental issues keep popping up. when i think about what planet i want to leave for my children

and other generations, i think about what kind of contribution i can make on a personal level to the environment. >> it was really easy to sign up for the program. i just went online to cleanpowersf.org, i signed up and then started getting pieces in the mail letting me know i was going switch over and poof it happened. now when i want to pay my bill, i go to pg&e and i don't see any difference in paying now. if you're a family on the budget, if you sign up for the regular green program, it's not going to change your bill at all. you can sign up online or call. you'll have the peace of mind knowing you're doing your part in your household to help the environment.
