severin, that -- from severin, these must come back to the board for approval on any of these bond extensions, yes. if the -- you'll see in the next item for instance, if the city plans to sell bonds it requires board approval. so the actual terms of the bonds would be submitted to the board for approval areviewed by our office. >> supervisor fewer: any comments. >> i just had a question about the social bonds. just to -- because i'm trying to understand that better. can you describe what type of projects that refers to? and then also, just clarify whether this is -- creating guidelines for social bonds or creating a process to create the guidelines? i'm just trying to understand this. >> sure. so social bonds are a newer designation for bonds. they're similar to green bonds, they're use of proceeds are different, but with green bonds, there is green bond principles that address the types of projects that would likely be eligible to have those bonds designated as green. and similarly, for social bonds, there is similar guidelines. so what we would look to do -- and social bonds as set forth i

colleagues that are going to be staying on in this body cherish harvey as well as severin. the entire team. they're a very important jewel that we have at our disposal. i want to recognize the budget director kelly and melissa, who i've had the opportunity to serve with. i enjoyed working and most importantly learning about the budget. i'm grateful. i want to recognize the legislative aides that have been fun and exciting to make fun of. and also fun and exciting to laugh with and sometimes cry when things don't go our way in the chamber. jason, nickie, andres, k.k. you all have provided a great service to san francisco and it's really a difficult space that you occupy. and of course, i would remiss if we did not recognize our beloved ed lee. oh, man, what a man. what a gem. i'm so sad he's not here to see us today. because he certainly has had a hand on my life in helping me mature into a good person. and with that, i think i will also say mayor breed has had a wonderful impact on my life. a sister and a friend, and i'm delighted to seeing her serve as the mayor of our cit

welcome back to worlds apart this severin officer professor of political science at barnard college columbia university professor artists are these more localized more grassroots approach that you are advocating presumes that there's a genuine interest in and doing all those conflicts can the one really presume that in this day in each wall of four people who are victims of the conflict or living in the conflict zones yes the overall majority of the people i've met whether again we're talking about people in afghanistan in congo in israel in the palestinian territories. i would say ninety nine percent of them told me that the absolutely want peace they want to have a way to send their children to school to feed their family to have a career without swearing whether tomorrow they're going to be killed they're going to be torture of they're going to be dead well professor i say i can fully attest to the fact that for most people in conflict zones peace is the ultimate value but that puts them at odds with me in the other war x.-prize and politicians who publicly advocate for armed resistance a

severin campbell from the budget and finance office. there is a budget that we were provided.'s on page 17. table one, page 17 of our report. the budget's for a little more than $9.4 million. the emergency declaration is for up to $5 million. we are actually recommending a reduction in the emergency amount, to reduce it by $ $88,000, otherwise, we do recommend approval as recommended. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. colleagues, any questions or comments? let's open it up to the public. are there any members of the public who would like to comment on item number seven? seeing none, public comment is now closed.

yeah and i agree with severin again and i think it's an interesting conundrum though because i remember being in eastern congo and talking to some of the troops and talking about their engagement in the communities and when you have instances of sexual exploitation abuse the tendency of the mission is to say ok reduce the contact with communities to to keep that distance but exactly talking to people in the communities and engaging with the people in the communities is what needs to be done to understand the local dynamic and so it creates this tension within the mission where you want to be engaged and part of the community but also have enough distance to avoid those kind of situations so i do think it's a dilemma where there isn't an easy. answer and i think that there is the zero tolerance policy and some of that is being implemented but again. really understanding the limits of peacekeeping in some of these situations is part of the story and really having implementing that zero tolerance policy and being willing to send troops home if they violate it is part of the story as well s
