thank you. >> chair ronen: thank you. if anyone else would like to speak, please lineup so we can take public comment one right after the other. thank you so much. >> i'm holly richards-babcock. i'm a resident of district five. i'm speaking on behalf of tenants that are trapped at home during the construction of a.d.u. units and the construction of units around them. it's utterly unconskionable that tenants have to endure this. corporations own thousands of units in the city, no doubt some of which are vacant and can be refitted for those who are disabled or always at home. dur during the a.d.u. construction below my unit i applied for and received a small rent reduction. i cannot make plans for my grown children to visit in a construction zone. since last january i've been plagued by the din of demolition. there are bob cats, drills, and generators that crack and shake things off the walls. we need to start a discussion on how to expand the existing temporary relief to enable tenants to apply for temporary respite. there

supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: thank you, chair ronen. and actually thank you so much just for all of the work you've done, as such a strong advocate for medical cannabis patients. and i had a question around just wanting to hear your perspectives on the labor issues for the cannabis industry, since that's also an important area, you know, i think for the board and in setting up this oversight committee. yeah. and for the apothecary itself, are you a union employer? >> we are not a union employer. however, our employees have always been paid with checks. we have 401(k), which is matched. our health benefits are fully covered. we have vision, dental, medical. they are paid a living wage. and we also have a great deal of education that comes before they come on the floor. one thing i'm really proud of, because people don't stay with you forever, is when my staff leaves, having apothecary on their resume is a sign that they've had a good work experience and they are ready for the professional world of cannabis. we have a very diverse staff,

[gavel]. >> chair ronen: first, let me thank jessie and maya from

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

. >> supervisor mar: thank you, chair ronen. mr. bloch, i just had -- wanted to ask a similar question that i asked of ms. foglio from the laborers' union. i guess in addition to all of the really important work that you -- you guys are doing to ensure labor rights for workers in this emerging industry, what ideas do you have about how we could strengthen career pathways for victims of the war on drugs and other disadvantaged community members here in san francisco? >> well, again i think using your power, the power of the permit to tie requirements to that. i go back to the thousand-plus workers who drive for facebook, apple, all of these companies, who organized because this body urged the sfmta to put a laborer piece requirement in for those companies to be able to use our bus stops. every single employer in this industry is coming here to ask for a permit. and again local hire could be attached to that. across the bay, in oakland, we got a 50% local hire requirement attached to the development of the oakland army base project. s

. >> 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
