>> deputy city attorney anne pearson. what's before you today as you know is a proclamation of emergency. and if the board approves it, it will give the mayor the powers that are inherent in the mayor when an emergency is declared. that includes the powers to move resources and personnel. so if the board does approve this proclamation, yes, the mayor would have the ability to move money in the budget from one department to another. >> okay. so she wouldn't have to -- when there is not an emergency, we should have to come to the board for a budget supplemental if she wanted to add overtime supplement to the police department's budget. is that correct? >> that is correct. >> so i could never vote for that if this was the case if the mayor planned to do that. i have asked her deputy chief of staff anders power to be here to answer questions about this. are you there, andras? >> i'm here. >> i wish the mayor herself was here. i think this is important enough that it would be wonderful if she had come herself and interrupted h

. >> deputy city attorney ann pearson. let me describe the powers of the mayor and board and the health officer and emergency. may be i'll answer your question and you can repeat it and i can answer it more directly. obviously the mayor declared an emergency. when the mayor asked declare an emergency, she may take actions that are necessary to address that emergency. similarly, as we've seen in the past year and a half, the board of supervisors also has emergency authority. to the extent that the policies that are included in the legislation are necessary to address the emergency. those really -- those are the main limits on the authority. the things the board may do and mayor may do the things that are necessary to address the emergency. if you can rephrase your more specific question, i'm happy to try to address that. >> supervisor peskin: my specific question was really around ensuring that one emergency does not undully reduce capacity from the other emergency. what our abilities are to dictate that? >> again, i can de

>> deputy city attorney, ann pearson. i think there are a couple of different ways to do this. we could potentially divide the question or during the remaining part of the meeting work with the controller's office to see if there is a way to more clearly duplicate the file, amend it so you're moving one part of it forward and keeping the other part in committee. the controller office prepares these ordinances, so i would love to have the time to consult with them to see what the best approach is to capture what you would like to do. >> president walton: thank you so much, deputy city attorney pearson. supervisor preston? >> supervisor preston: thank you. and this comes back on a second reading as well. so i suppose that's another option to use the intervening time if folks prefer to move it forward and to have some of these discussions before a second reading. >> president walton: correct. >> supervisor preston: thank you. >> president walton: supervisor chan? >> supervisor chan: thank you, president walton. i am definitely torn on the very specific portion of the $3.25 million

i want to thank deputy city attorney robb kapla and ann pearson for their assistance in drafting this report, and i appreciate your support. >> chair peskin: thank you, supervisor melgar, and i really appreciate your leadership on this issue and want to put it in some historical context, which is the department of building inspection, which is, for decades -- many, many decades, was actually a bureau within the department of public works as a result of a 1994 charter amendment that was actually not put on by the board of supervisors. it was actually put on through another mechanism that was used by people in the city and in the state. [please stand by] narratives and counter narratives, i just wanted to note that while we are receiving these form e-mails from folks, including the funder and owner of one of these online blogs, mr. michael moore himself sent one of those e-mails that objected to this charter amendment, calling it a power grab. when if you actually read the instrument that is before us, it actually returns power to the executive, the mayor, in so far as it will finally o
