next speaker, please. >> chair ronen and members of the rules committee. thank you for the community to appear before you this morning. my name is doug chan. i'm a member of the board of directors and council of the chinese historical society of america. for the last 56 years, we've 4 had an abiding interest in the preservation of the physical legacy of california's and america's chinese-american pioneers. we currently occupy the julie morgan-designed building at 965 play street, which we had restored in 2001. the qualifications of nominee sow are without question. she meets them. but i think it's important for you to understand, you have the opportunity of making san francisco's government more representative here. chinatown's historic communities across the country are threatened and endangered. what's literally at stake is the physical environment that was created in the aftermath of the earthquake, by a canton eses -speaking community. you have the community to appoint an architect with extraordinary competence and experience. it would be highly regret

>> yes, thank you chair ronen. i want to thank supervisor peskin for your work on this and for the local 2 members and the local 2, especially for all of your work on this. i remember when i was a community advocate supporting this 10 years ago, working with local 2, and it's been such an important policy we had in place over the last decade to protect good jo -- jobs in the hotel industry and our tourism industry. i also strongly support this being continued or removing the sunset provision and the amendments that supervisor peskin worked on to allow a limited number of hotel room conversions into condos once we reach our goal of number hotel convention hotel rooms in the city. i would like to be added as a co-sponsor as well. thank you everybody. >> thank you so much chair ronen. i would love to be added as a co-sponsor as well. >> you got the whole committee supervisor peskin. without objection, that motion passes and i am assuming we can send it forward with positive recommendation. i will make that motion and

supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: thank you, chair ronen. i just would be interested in hearing your thoughts about, in terms of local hire. and also building career ladders for folks, especially those impacted by the war on drugs. is there a role -- do you have some idea about potential policies that the board or the city could enact to really make hiring and promoting practices much stronger in the industry? >> yeah. we have some ideas. like maybe with the permit process. if, you know, employers are committed to hiring -- work with the apprenticeship but also hiring local. where they move up in the permit process perhaps. because right now it's like a long -- you're just in line forever. i think that would be a start. we have to just get it out there where we need to have local residents, because we've seen in other states, like colorado, where people fly in, the mothership flies in and then the locals are all left behind. in san francisco, and in california, we know we can do better and we have to do better. we can't leave the locals behi

good morning, chair ronen and members of the committee. my name is lydia south. i'm honored to be nominated for serve on the historic preservation commission. i moved to san francisco from portland, oregon, in 2000. my daughter and i have been living in the mission for over 11 years. we enjoy one of the most vibrant, diverse neighborhoods in san francisco. every day we experienced a rich history of the city. as an immigrant from hong kong, i know what hard work means. it requires me as an immigrant woman to work 500% harder, just to demonstrate that i can do the job. this is a challenge that i have stepped and relished, because i know that the future will be bright for my daughter and for my community. i'm nominated for seat 2 of h.p.c., which requires a licensed architect who meets the secretary of interior's professional qualification standards. these standards require either one year of graduate study in architectural preservation study or closely related field, or at least one year of full-time professional experience on historic preservation projects. i meet

[gavel] >> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small busine

ronen: thank you. i hope to still be here as chair and cheering you on. so thank you so much.n just to repeat, to make sure our chair got it, i would like to make a motion to put forward russell for seat 4, jane for seat 5 and michaelangelo for seat 6. and to move that forward with positive recommendation. can i take that without objection? without objection, that motion passes.

. >> chair ronen: similar to commissioner brown. i want to make a request a speed radar sign installation be placed on cortland avenue. i am not sure what the best intersection is there, we have had pedestrian fatality at one intersection. we had a pedestrian hit. it is an incredibly busy street where there are tons of kids going back and forth from the library, there is a bus line on the street making it difficult to put speed bumps that are effective. we reached the limit of what we can do in traffic coming with the exception of a radar sign which seems like a good place to put one. i would like to put that on the record. >> we will make sure m.t.a. staff follow up with your office as well. >> commissioner safai. >> supervisor safai: the wait is long. thank you. i am glad you have a small project but important project on the list today for $100,000. i want to add that i am hoping this doesn't take until september 20 next year to finalize the report. we want a robust community outreach process. the accidents are piling up. thank go

. >> thank you chair ronen and supervisor walton for putting forward your proposed appointments to the various seats. i'm in agreement with all of your proposed appointments except seat 14. my preference is on jesse for seat number 14, given his extensive experience and expertise with cannabis law and regulation statewide and locally. his direct experience facilitating hiring disadvantage community members by cannabis businesses and his very long commitment to ensuring equity and social justice, principles and practices, ensuring that these are essential in regulating the cannabis industry and i think mr. stout, we received broad support from his appointment from a range of stakeholders in san francisco. >> thank you. i too in agreement with seat, 8, 9, 13, 11, 15, and 16. i also was having a hard time deciding for seat 14 between jesse stout and anna grabstein. who are both extremely qualified and have done so much in this industry. so what i will do then, given that there is support from two members of this committee for jesse stout, if you don't mind, if i would amend your motion, i
