to the sugary drink distributor tax advisory committee, one seat, two applicants. thank you, mr. clerk. and i see we have two candidates. i will call you up in order of how you appear on the agenda, and you have two minutes to tell us about yourself. so first is marty de la. hello. good morning, supervisor. supervisor chair shamann walton and supervisor member, aaron peskin. my name is marty de la, and i've been a san francisco resident for over 30 years. i've been involved with the filipino community since, since i came here from the philippines and attended filipino education center, which i started advocating for since it was almost like taken away

and, through that, there was also, a lot of the advocacy work we had gone to school board meetings, we had gone to city hall meetings. so being here present is something i'm pretty much used to. and speaking in public. and a lot of the programs for the state i've worked in intern with zomcon, which is a direct beneficiary of state funding and, we've had a lot of great programs ranging from the most recent one was the cyclothon. it was like an all ages marathon that the community members, benefited from. and a lot of outreach and education. about like how sugary drinks do affect like one's personal like, body. and i can vouch for that because growing up, we had consumed a lot of sugary drinks

not knowing the, the detriment and the effects that it does cause, which is like within the filipino community, within my family, it was like a lot of, like, overweight, obesity, cardiovascular cancer and, diabetes. so i had, benefited from the yoga and meditation programs, and i've lost over 100 pounds from doing so over the years. and, like after also being educated, like doing my own research and getting research from the community on nutritional factors and how that benefits oneself and being able to be aware of that and making the choices to change. that was very difficult without the support of community members, without the support of family members, and without the support of the programs being funded by the taxes, the state tax. so i'm really passionate in wanting to be an advocate, in a, in this

advisory committee for the, you know, the programs that are, wanting to get support through this funding and, i hope you do consider me and i'd be very passionate and appreciative and dedicated to this role. thank you. thank you. and now we have melinda burris. good morning supervisors. my name is melinda burris. i am 27 years old. i am from bayview-hunters point, i am currently working for leah's pantry as a community engagement specialist. but for the last five years, all of my professional work has been here in san francisco, city and county, serving to give back to my community in the bayview, right now i'm working on a really cool, fun project for the

next three years, working with older adults in both bayview hunters point and treasure island. the end goal is for me to create a food security advisory group for older adults in both neighborhoods so that they can come to task force meetings and city hall meetings and advocate for themselves, by doing that, i'll be creating a community needs assessment, and this community needs assessment will be guiding, the older adults in both of these neighborhoods to advocate for themselves. and so that's what i'm working on now. and it ties a lot into what this i mean, this sugary drink tax is doing already, working with some of the most underserved communities in san francisco and making sure that their voices are heard, especially older folks, because they tend to be the, they tend the outcome of their health tends to be the. oh, sorry. the tends to be like the reason,

sugary, sugary drinks seems to be the reason why their health outcomes, such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and this is why i'm really interested in being this advisory group, because my mom also had diabetes, and my grandma and they both passed away, from diabetes complications. and i really want to make sure that people in my community get educated and also get support from people like us to not have those outcomes anymore, and i myself been working on, educating myself on different sugar and intakes and how to stop consuming so much sugary drinks. and that's one of the reasons why i'm very, very interested in this, and i'm also a part of different advisory groups in the city, such as the food security advisory group, we meet maybe once a month and talk about different initiatives surrounding food security in san

francisco, and it's always fun to go and hear all the different ideas that people have. i'm also a part of the facts food security task force, which is led by, by a lady, in fillmore. and we get together and talk about different food securities and how we can, come up with different initiatives for the city. so. yeah, i really appreciate to be on this spot because i'm very, very passionate about bayview, hunters point, treasure island, and just the overall health in this in the city, and yeah, thank you for hearing me. thank you so much, supervisor peskin. yeah, i don't know if there are any members of the public who want to comment, but i just want to say that, we have an embarrassment of riches here to devoted community members with lived experience. and it is a tough choice. but regardless of

how we decide, i just want to remind everybody that in three short months, there are going to be other seats open on thish of you for being willing to step up and for all of your work that you've already done, as we continue to improve health outcomes here in san francisco. and with that said, we will call

for public comment. members of the public who wish to speak on this item should line up to speak. at this time, each speaker will be allowed two minutes. good morning. supervisors. my name is pj eugenio. i'm the workforce councilor for sonic and shadow market community action network. sam khan had the honor of witnessing the growth of marty delis, a long time member of the filipino community in san francisco. having grown up and lived in san francisco for 30 years since she was in grade school, we organized with her and her family defending the filipino education center when it was slated for closure, advocating for funds for the victoria manalo draves park bmd to be built, and currently she helped us inform residents about the 11th and natoma park. marty personally knows the impact that excessive consumption of sugary

drinks can have in our communit. having grown up in a household where soda was served at nearly every meal, her family members have experienced hypertension, diabetes and even cancer, so marty intimately understands the importance of being properly educated about the relationship between diet and health. marty has also served the community health as a community health ambassador for interns under our cigna program, formerly our health, our community. as one of the participants, marty learned how to run campaigns, do outreach, and use social media for social change. she was able to apply her leadership training by facilitating meetings, doing supervisor visits on earth day, and teaching her fellow cha how to do silkscreen printing. aside from participating in the sigla program workshop on dance, yoga and herbal remedies, marty also conducted outreach for and helped coordinate the singleton run and walk event in the south

of market. it is with a great respect for the role that marty has played in the filipino community that we write this letter of support. we strongly encourage you to appoint marty to the sugary drink distributor tax advisory committee. seat number three. thank you. thank you. can i have a paper to give to. good morning supervisors. my name is zachary friel. i'm a d5 resident. i work at comcast and i'm also the co-convener of the filipino service providers network, an association of over 50 filipino serving organizations in sf. we would like to express our support for marty de la to be considered for seat three on the state advisory committee. marty has been a community health ambassador for some kinzigtal program, and her appointment to the advisory committee is a natural progression of the work that she has already performed thus far. marty has been raised as an advocate since she was a child, going to the school board to defend the filipino education center. she has continued to

speak here in front of the board and has even gone to sacramento on several occasions to advocate for housing and economic justice on behalf of san francisco residents. i serve as the environmental justice organizer at som kan and marty has been a wonderful leader and partner in supporting the campaigns we have around cleaner air and green space. marty is super passionate about community gardening and yoga, working to bring not only an active and healthy lifestyle to soma community members, but to community members in other neighborhoods like the excelsior and the tenderloin. i have the utmost confidence that marty will be an an exceptional appointee to the state advisory committee, and i hope she will continue to be able to do the good work that she's done in that space. thank you for your consideration. good morning, supervisors. my name is nadiya bychkova. i'm a close friend of marty, and i'd like to be sure

that she is one of the most responsible and dedicated person i know. she cares deeply about the life of her community, and she actually made a decision to left her career in tech to dedicate herself more to the social sector. and not only she participates in various activities and, makes outreach and fulfills her job duties, but she's actually has a genuine interest in the life of the community. she's one of the most driven person that i know. thank you. thank you. good morning supervisors. my name is teresa douglas and our last name is actually spelled d, as in david you instead of b. so it was actually written with a b. so i, i, marty started, a experience of, community work when, during

the late 1990s when the filipino education center, the filipino bilingual education program was actually, in trouble. so we fought for it. and the core parents, actually, there were about 20 of us, and we brought our children to the school board, and our children tagged along, actually, until about the wee hours of 2 a.m. in the morning. and then after that, to make the, the long story short, marty has actually been involved, you know, with so much community work, and i'm very proud of my daughter. it's not because she's my daughter, but she's had a lot of really beautiful, what is this, experience in the community being passionate about the different issues, and i, i

really appreciate my daughter because there was at one time in her life that she actually took the role as a mom and dad. i just want to let you know that. and it was hard for being a single parent, you know, growing up and taking care of three children. and with my aging parents. so, it's, marty has actually taught me a lot being a single parent. and i wanted to let you know that, being a single mom as many know that it's not really easy, but marty actually gave me that support. and then, it's all throughout the many years that now she's involved, you know, with the community. time has elapsed. thank you. and i hope that you will consider. marty, thank you so much. god bless you. good morning supervisors. my name is laura jones. i'm the programs manager for leah's pantry, and i'm here in support of melinda

burris, who is currently in her community engagement work and treasure island in bayview, working as a nutrition educator, working to teach people the dangers of overconsumption of sugary beverages, trying to increase water access in those neighborhoods, and people's perception of drinking tap water. prove that and is very well versed in the importance of the programs that are funded by this tax. and so i think she would be an excellent choice for this committee. and i just wanted to stand here in support of her. thank you. hello. my name is marcus c2. i am the program coordinator at leah's pantry and i do not know melinda a lot, but i met her, for a month already since i'm new at leah's pantry and a job description is only a job description. who doesn't serve

our community? everyone serving our community in part of the west part of the way. and i love melinda and i know she is passionate. she does not look like 27 to me. she is knowledgeable and doing community outreach and i bet she knows a lot about her community. and please consider her and thank you. thank you. are there any additional speakers at this time? there are no additional speakers. thank you. seeing no additional speakers. public comment is now closed. i definitely just want to reiterate the tough choice that we have here this morning, as we make these decisions, we always look at personal experiences, professional experiences across the city, diversity and other elements of which both candidates for sure possess. i

think with understanding more appointments and opportunities forthcoming, i'm on a motion this morning to move melinda birx forward with a positive recommendation. and before we vote on that, i just want to say to marty that, in december, we will be looking at other seats that are opening up. so hope to see you in three months. yes. on that motion to recommend melinda burris to seat three. member peskin. hi. peskin. i chair walton, a walton i that motion passes without objection with chairs. vice chair safaí being absent. excused motion carries. and again, thank you both so much. trust me, there will be more opportunities forthcoming. mr. clerk, would you please call item number three? yes. item

number three is an ordinance amending the administrative code to expand the san francisco public utilities commission's social impact partnership program by requiring that all covered contracts that include a social impact commitment include those contracts that were solicited before april 22nd, 2023, increased such commitments upon amendment or modification of the contract, and by removing the minimum threshold for applicable amendments or modifications. thank you so much, mr. clerk, and president peskin. we are here today to strengthen the sfpuc. s social impact partnership program. this amendment clarifies exactly what this board intended to be. the law when we all unanimously sponsored the original legislation for this program, it now clearly states that if any contracts are amended to give more money and work to contractors, that the

commitments that those contractors made to the community will also be proportionally increased. this ensures that when contractors who have existing contracts with the puc have their contracts increased, sometimes by hundreds of millions of dollars, that the communities these projects impact receive a proportionate benefit of the social impact commitments that the contractors made to those communities. we are strengthening the legislation to address previous gaps and loopholes that allow corporations to exploit and manipulate contract terms, ultimately depriving the community of resources and support that they are owed by covering all contracts regardless of their solicitation date and requiring additional commitments. when amendments increase contract value, it ensures that city contracted corporations primes and developers can't evade their obligations to community through the social impact partnership

program. the legislation underscores our commitment to fairness by ensuring that even smaller contract amendments trigger proportional increases in social impact commitments, promoting sustained investment in our local communities. we are all aware that bayview-hunters point has long been burdened with environmental hazards, including toxic waste, air pollution and industrial contamination. this legislation has helped redress the environmental harms and neglect that our community has faced. the puc has a moral obligation to the people of bayview-hunters point who have disproportionately carried the negative impacts of city operations by mandating social impact commitments. they are also taking steps to repair the damage caused by historical environmental injustices. this ordinance will ensure that companies benefiting from sfpuc contracts give back to the neighborhoods they most impact.

the legislation aligns corporate activities with long term community well-being, requiring companies to adjust their social impact contributions in response to changes in contract value, ensuring that the community benefits continue to grow alongside corporate profits. this ordinance demonstrates that san francisco prioritizes its residents and expects corporate partners to do the same. we are sending a clear message to city contractor, corporations and businesses that have exploited loopholes and manipulated the system to avoid their responsibilities. we are not going to let corporations take advantage of our community, and any increase in contract means that there should be an increase in community benefit. and so with that said, i appreciate us hearing this at this rules committee meeting and unless you have something to say, president peskin, we will go to public

comment on this item. yes. members of the public who wish to speak on this item should aim to speak at this time. each speaker will be allowed two minutes. also as please. as a reminder, political activities are prohibited in this chamber pursuant to board rules and state law. you may not advocate, speak against any candidate or ballot measure, nor me, nor may you wear or hold election materials such as signs, buttons, place cards, or clothing. thank you. thank you. victor, i'm sorry for advocating for president peskin, for mayor. i screwed up bad there. the. anyway, guys, sounds like we're getting screwed there. sounds like a job for the inspector general, you got two things coming up here. you got, i is running like a wild stampede of cattle at you, and it's going to help you. you mix i in with an

inspector general thing, and these corporations shamann will not be able to screw you so easily. it will pop up instantly in the inspector general will be able to come down on them because they've got the power of subpoena and power of warrants. okay thank you. and i'm sorry i advocated for president peskin for mayor of san francisco. victor, i won't do it again. there are no additional parties in the room. i believe we can close public comment. thank you. seeing no additional speakers, public comment is now closed. a motion to move this item forward with a positive recommendation on that motion. member peskin, a peskin i chair walton a walton i that motion passes without objection with vice chair safaí being excused. thank you. motion passes without objection. mr. clerk, do we have any more

business before us this morning? that completes our agenda for today. thank you so much. we are adjourned. thank you guys. thank you.

>> everyone loves a good sunset, but in san francisco we take to a new

level. i'm city supervisor engardio and i represent an entire part of the city called the sunset. it stretches 30 glorious avenues. welcome to district 4! the sunset is a collide scope of people culture and experiences for residents of all ages. we are a beach town, we are a chinatown, and not a town at all. the sunset is home to 80 thousand people and we love our dogs. we live in neat row houses, homes with yards, story book homes and every quirk in between. the sunset used to be sand dunes all the way to the ocean. when the city needed to grow, san francisco's future ran through the sunset. we built rows and rows of housing for a

great irish population and welcomed a great chinese population. today home to a gowing number of families from all backgrounds and the future starts here. >> we chose sunset knauz we love san francisco but during the pandemic we needed more space and more family focused, so that is where we found the sunset. how walkable it is. we live along iving street along where diana's school is our son's day care is. >> our kids and all the kids we knee in the neighborhood are really the future here and we are really excited to live in the neighborhood. we love it so much. >> nina and alex are expecting their first baby and it first leaders of the newly formed sunset community band which bring together musicians of all ages at special events. >> we are about to have our

first kid and met so many younger people and so many moving into the neighborhood. exciting to raising our family here because this community is awesome. >> bringing the community together and making it stronger i think a band can help with that. it is a matter of civic pride and coming together and doing something as a community that really makes like us from a collection of people into a neighborhood. >> sundays in the sunset are for worship, farmer's market and live music at the ocean. if the sunset had a town square, it would be this magical area that appears every sunday on 37 avenue. the sunset farmer market isn't just a place to get good food and produce, it is where community gathers live music from local musicians and

cultural celebrations and [indiscernible] share ideas to shape our city. it really is the place the community comes together to celebrate the best of the sunset. >> something about it had sunset chinese cultural district is there a lot of opportunities to uplift the chinese voice and chinese people. when you look at the sunset, a lot of think of trees and single family homets and the schools, but there isn't a lot of very iconic locations that people can look at and know they are in the sunset. one thing we are working on is to unveil a new mural in the park by community and as we do more work in the sunset and uplift the unique qualities of the community, we want to do more mural s and spaces that are iconic so the sunset gets a piece of being unique and identifiable.

>> a supermarket for everything you need for chinese home cooking and [indiscernible] the rice noodles are so good they are featured in catherine moss latest novel, [indiscernible] takes place in the sunset. there is a old school menu at the ond mandarin islamic restaurant and a item so spicy they have to warn customers. maybe bobo can neutralize the spice. the sunset has plenty options. try the bars at the beach. we also have the sunset reservoir brewing company and o'briens irish pub. cuisine in the sunset spans the world. [indiscernible] >> travel and work in [indiscernible] we have our own restaurant. and then, it was my turn to follow her

to her country, so that's why we opened in her neighborhood. >> we are looking for more a local gentleman gem. we traveled around the world and what we highly value, a place for the community to gather. a local hang-out spot. that is why this isn't a restaurant, it is cafe, you can order a coffee, you can have a fuel full meal but it is place to connect. whether parents kids friends is why we decide to go qulose close to the beach, a neighborhood i am familiar with. i run into people all the time. i live in a big city but why i chose district 4 outer sunset. it has a small town feel. i love our neighbors. >> the sunset has everything from footwear to hardware. here is great wall hardware, 3500 square feet of retail space.

we carry about 22 thousand items and counting. it never stops because i have a thing. when a customer says don't you have this and i don't have it, it bothers me. i want to have it,s so it is just of those things about owner a hardware store, people expect you to have everything and you to fulfill that need. i like to serve my neighborhood. most businesses you want to buy this or that or eat this or buy the widget. a hardware store is different. people come in and have a problem and need a solution and they are looking for you to navigate them through that problem and offer them products that help them get to where they need to go. people are great. i love this neighborhood. there is different ethnicities here, different cultures here. we all intermingle and mix together and we get along fine and i always like that about this neighborhood. it is just a nice place to be. it is near the beach, it is beautiful and near the zoo and near

golden gate park, stern grove. great schools, great parks. whats there not to like? we also love pizza from hole in the wall to [indiscernible] hottest restaurants in the sunset tunching vietnamese food [indiscernible] ice cream [indiscernible] this is great highway park. a great place to burn calories on the weekend. i'm here every sunday doing a long run and start with 5 miles and with this ocean view, if it motivates me i try for 10. the new york times named great highway park one of 52 places to change the world. it is that amazing and the gem of the sunset and people are finding new ways to activate the space. in halloween it turns into the

great haunt way. >> we imagine a future from the part time road close toor to a park to welcome people all ages and activities to our coast. >> since we had [indiscernible] always looking for ways to sort of improve what is already good around us. the neighborhood is great. it will be even better with a park here. >> sunset turn to put a new sign up on our coast. open for all. >> this is the treasure of san francisco and this hasn't been discovered yet. homes are still relatively affordable, there is decent schools and a place for kids to have a feeling they can run and play and take part in things. what i'm happy the great highway has become a park for the weekend. i'm glad we share what we have with the rest of the city and people come from outside the city. i'm sure people come from the

east bay, and i just feel like, seeing the people out here enjoying this represents the hope for the future. >> imagine the potential of an emerald necklace in the sunset for safe biking and recreation along the green belt of sunset boulevard which connects lake merced with golden gate park and great highway park. quality of life matters and we know how to take care of each other. sunset youth service helps teenagers find purpose and self-help for the elderly let's seniors shine. local artists capture the sunset experience and work is on display in cafes like java beach and black bird books. the art of conversation happens at this new barber shop called the avenue. the owner calls it a barber lounge because he wants to create a space for the community to gather beyond hair cuts.
