i do have -- i do share some of the questions that chair ronan and supervisor walton have raised about some of the specifics of this important proposal. i just had a question around -- i see that the tenant advocacy groups, or perhaps the city and the mayor's office, or the rent board, had come up with the documentation of 400 temporary eviction notices with the rent board since 2017. i just had a question about -- a few questions about that figure. and how many -- actually, one question is: do we know how many of those cases were extended beyond the three-month standard temporary eviction period? >> so i don't know if shelby wants to speak to that. i think she is the one who prepared this. if you know the answer to that... [inaudible] >> you'll have to come forward. >> sorry. >> the rent board doesn't keep that data, but some of it is retrieveable to the extent that it is through an owner petition. not every owner petitions for more time, they just take it. to the extent there is a petition, we can provide that by the next hearing, which i understand there will be. so i think there is

sure that we can realize this vision responsibly as a team here in san francisco. >> chair: thank you, commissioner walton. and thank you for your service on the j.p.b. commissioner yee. >> supervisor yee: thank you, chair peskin. also excited about your vision. i'd like to recognize you moving, especially when you're talking about a system that's going to be almost like showing up and just catching the train. although i wish we had this vision 20 years ago. so i have just some simple questions around the business plan. for my better understanding. on your summary page, when you -- benefit-cost ratio that you're talking about. for the moderate growth it's 1.33 and for the high growth it's 1.04. so is my interpretation to say that we're better off doing the moderate growth, because it has more benefit to the cost? >> through that specific, somewhat admittedly narrow analysis. that's why we did a comprehensive analysis. i think in doing this times of calculations, we looked at economic benefits in that specifically two caltrain riders. so really kind of benefits that are contained within the system. when we

chair? >> supervisor walton: any more comments from colleagues? >> supervisor fewer: i think we learned a lot today. i want to thank colleagues for holding this hearing. i think public speakers bring up good points about the overhanging of wires and i look forward to calling for an additional hearing about the study, but actually i think there are still some open issues about what is on those poles. and now i am being alerted that the pole heights have been extended, which is something i didn't know about. so, chair, i'm respectfully asking to make a motion to continue this item to the call of the chair. >> the motion has been heard. let me check in. >> i want to briefly say i appreciate all the folks that came out today. i know that there's a lot of people that have been pushing this conversation. it's interesting when you leave san francisco and you look at other areas all around it's not as -- i want to use the word polluted the wires everywhere in our city. the argument about not being able to do it, transmission lines, these are factual in so

walton? >> thank you, chair peskin. i just want to start off by talking a little bit about this because, in some cases, we as a city are putting people out of business by no fault of their own because of the duration of construction, the type of construction, what is happening in construction. some people are losing their business. not because they didn't have clientele, not because their business model, would you keep going back to with technical assistance. we had a conversation in this chamber last meeting, very specific about coming up with a strategy to give people financial support, to mitigate the impacts of when they are going into construction. even when we are having constructions about this -- don't think i can speak for least a couple of my colleagues, i don't think our intent was to have to hire a whole bunch of new stuff to come over they strategy to give out money. i know sfmta and i have -- and they -- it is not a primary function of sfmta. it is just real frustrating -- and we're not talking about a who

walton? >> thank you, chair peskin. i just want to echo the sentiments of all of my colleagues. i have had a few fatalities in my district, as well. there are so many things that we can do to mitigate the impacts and make sure that we have less accidents. there were a lot of suggestions made today. we are going to be working hard as a body to focus so we can keep people safe. this can't keep happening. not only is it happening, but it is happening in a volume of numbers that we know we can avoid. i just want to thank all of you for being dedicated to making the changes that we need. i was just receiving a text from a constituent because we removed an island on a street, and now she immediately is asking for speed bumps to mitigate some of the speed impacts that are happening on her street. i have a resident in my district to is, right now, in the hospital. he had to get his leg amputated because he was hit by someone who was on a cell phone while they were driving. there are so many things that we have to work on to make changes to keep people safe. yes, he is still alive, but h

. >> supervisor walton: thank you, chair ronen. just same question. how important do you think it is to have diversity on this committee? >> i think it's the most important. i think that my entire business, my partners, like i said, my equity partner, who i have known since i was a little kid, is african-american, my business partner in the delivery manufacturing and distribution is -- she's half hispanic, half korean woman. we've been meeting with, you know, local men and women that are, you know, low-income, diverse. i think that one of the things i'm excited about is that i hear that the office of cannabis is going to start making retailers put equity products on their shelves. i think that's very important. yeah. that would be my answer. >> supervisor ronen: wonderful. thank you so much. >> thank you. >> supervisor ronen: next speaker, please. >> hello. good morning. my name is andrew silva. i'm an attorney practicing cannabis law. i have been for the past five years, since law school. i worked in dispensaries during law school. i've been around c
