[gavel] >> thank you all for joining us we're going to get going i know a few people are on their way i want to introduce a couple of folks we have an affordable housing crisis in san francisco and i'll be sharing with you the approach to address the crisis. we have mayor ed lee who is co- sponsoring our bill and pleased to recognize commissioner wu and supervisor campos and supervisor wiener and assemblyman phil king is on his way and from tom's office is here as well. we're pleased to welcome founder sf dot city and we're expect others. i also want to thank dean from tenants together and from the tenderloin housing clinic and a couple of tenants who will speak an evicted tenant. also with us folks from the chinatown area and executive director vincent and caramel who's with sales force and with that we'll get started. so with this affordable housing crisis we need to not only continue to invest in the creation of new affordable units but really must protect our xoif housing stoke our rent control units that will close a loophole in the ellis act who are currently not loorntdz it authorizes legislation to let san francisco decide whether or not to require a 5 year ownership of the property before a landlord can use the ellis act. it was created as a result of a states supreme court decision in the 45 that says landlords don't have the right to evict all folks the cowered said you could sell your building the legislature respond to create a statutory right to leave the business of affordable housing. but it's been abuseed but those who are not landlord and don't intend to be landlords. we've seen american people increased of the ellis act in the past year and 3 hundred units of affordable housing have been lost. and many more, of course, have left their homes as a result of treat of the use of the ellis act. as a result entire neighborhoods and community are commanding forever and as well as the families impacted. so i have a copy of the ellis act right here and if you read it carefully you'll notice no where in it is spectacular what's the difference the business of the landlord a hundred percentage occupancy the business of a speech last year a hundred percent vacancy that's the difference in the business motto. and what our bill side is to restore the original intent of the ellis act. and that is for landlords not speak larts those half of last year were properties owned in lass less than a half years time and fewer than 6 months. this is an idea who's time is come. it's not the first time we've tried to amend the ellis act it's been amended in 2003 i was pleased to work with the tenderloin clinic to exempt single room occupancies. this is a time a that's come it's the very first time that this bill has been co- sponsored by the mayor of san francisco. with the support of major business leaders in san francisco joining lash leaders. this is a very different time and a very different coalition of folks who recognize that san francisco is changing and at risk of being changed further if we don't differentiate between the practices from aspect larts who don't have any intention of working with their tenants as we do so. i'm going to close by quoting mark ceo of sales force who was interviewed in the wall street journal he said the following with regard to the question of intrackable problems facing and challenging san francisco. he said the first time you can't be throwing throwing all those folks out of their homes they're using the ellis act during this boom time to toss folks out of their home it's unfair and has to challenge quote/unquote. it's my job in the coming months to meet one-on-one with my colleagues in the states loufrg to explain to them the unique situation we're facing and to make the fact the ellis act didn't serve the entire state it does ♪ baker's field one size does not fit all. i'm going to ask them to address it as i would work with them to address a unique problem in in your district with that, i want to again not only introduce but sincerely thank mayor ed lee for stepping up to the plate and recognizing that this ooshlt crisis is a top priority for his administration go working to get this bill in print and to say that his support and assistance i believe will make the difference in getting this bill to jerry brown desk but signed by jerry brown that i mayor ed lee thank you (clapping.) >> thank you senator but thank you for championship so many of our issues. good morning everyone and thanks for coming for the steep slope indicts going to get worse. we've been patient but we understand now that the abuses that have occurred ended up over 3 hundred evictions and half of those have been developers that are flipping property they're not interested in being landlords as the senator explained. we're toward on i think a very narrow corporate interest in the property we're standing in front of of once more 2 units have that think r been occupied by seniors and sdabtd and this is the kind of residence that we've also wanted to protect not only from rent control but the loopholes we've seen particularly when times are good. when real estate it hot in this city clearly we supported the beau and selling of property but when you buy to or it to flip the property that's the wrong message and not where the ellis act was critiqued r create for. so i. so glad to see our supervisors come together with me along with state leg last year's including senator assemblyman who has a representative here but also your business community ron from sf city citizens extension innovation along with mr. benny hoff are here to support our effort to reform the ellis act we're not eliminating it but reforming it it will allow us to have additional protections for omits. the city should be for the one hundred percent i believe as many others the character city is represented by everybody being valued and everybody who wants to live here stay here. had i see the new economy i'm excited we're about creating jobs in the city but there are excess thatnesss that occur we want to take care of long term residents. i used to be an attorney representing residents of this area and fought for the international hotel that represented citizens and we lost the battle but we got people who were beginning to create our crazy whether in business or nonprofits or end up being members of the board of supervisors or the mayor that we would also try to take care of everybody and this reform is an effort to do that. yes, we have to go to the state my i'm really glad our former supervisor and a board president but someone who has remained all the promises that they can help us to reform the ellis act. it's a coalition of businesses and a coalition of government officials of nonprofits like randy shaw and dean and others and it's going to be a large coalition of longer resident in the city that come together and say we need to be here and part of the success of the city. having said that, i'm also got an aggressive agenda to build thirty thousand opts of housing it's an aggressive agenda i know we've accomplish this with the same people who is we can build as well as protect our housing. while we build our housing and get jobs for more people we ought to make sure we're protecting those who are less fortunate to make sure they have a place in san francisco. i'm glad we join with labor they have helped me build the housing and helped to create jobs and are going to be here to protect the residents as well. we're forming a strong coalition and strong indication it's not one voicing voice but many voices to unit around keeping san francisco affordable. thank you (clapping.) thank you, mr. mayor. you're not my so secret weapon when we are joined by supervisor yee. thank you, supervisor tang and fold by damon's and is a kill. assemblyman >> well, thank you senator it's an honor to be here joined by yourself and the mayor and salmon people in the city. we're here today to close a giant loophole in the ellis act. it was never meant to be used for people to throw families on the street to make a few more bucks. we're saying here today, we want to make sure we're doing everything we can to preserve your protection and neighborhoods that people have the right to continue to stay here. what we see here, no chinatown i reflect on what the mayor said in all the fights that have begun her to make sure this neighborhood is perceived and continued to be a neighborhood that attracted immigrant from all over the world that attracted people with the industry point to san francisco. we continue to allow the will that loophole to exist anytime someone wants to run tenants around and throw people on the street to change the fabric of that neighborhood and we're saying this has to stop. the mayor is right we have to tackle our affordable housing crisis this is just one single i single tool this is nodded the end all solution as well as really looublth building affordable housing and increasing our funding for affordable housing. those are the tools we're coming together on to really tackle this crisis. but again focusing on this one issue this is a egregious loophole. we've seen in the last year owners are buying the property and evicting people to make a few bucks and that's what t is wrong with the situation. it's only happening in half of san francisco but we're seeing this situation that isn't happening in fresno or san diego that's why san francisco is special. we want to make sure we send a strong signal to everybody we are not going to allow folks to use the ellis act to skirt the protections we've fought for so people can make money so throw people out of their units on the streets. again, i want to thank you senator leno and members of the board to continue to fight for this. thank you very much (clapping.) good morning. i want to thank all the members of the community that have come out today. and to say that we need to stand together to stand for our san franciscans and our seniors our families and low income family because of this loophole are being kicked out of the city. i want to tell you about the history of what we're come from. for many, many years we've had thousands of tenants that are fighting the ellis act. he can tell you years before we we have thousands of tenants that know the defendant station of this lay who worked with my office in 2010 to shut down the ellis act ventilations that of condos who had large garages. last year ms. lee has become a symbol of this fight we continue to stand with with our tenants. he want to thank the diversity and support who labor and business leaders and our mayor and board of supervisors come together when san franciscans representing all of us coming together we need help from sacramento. i want to thank senator leo this will preserve the ellis act but we have an incredibly unanticipated loophole it's allowed landlord to buy and evict and flip properties. a 5 year requirement is the purpose of ellis act was to allow loans to get into the business that's not what the folks are about i look forward to move forward this forward and january 7th our board of supervisors unanimously supported a resolution that i sponsored along with supervisor campos and mayor ed lee and others to make sure this kind of legislation move forward we need help from sacramento and stand united for our city thank you very much >> (clapping) >> thank you, president chiund senator leno to the assembly members and the board of supervisors as well as our labor parents and business community. we have differences of opinion but the fact we have a united front representing the spectrum telling you what's happening here in with the legislation there's something different. i want to commend mayor ed lee it's important to recognize it's the first time we've had a mayor of san francisco to come out to say we need to reform the ellis act. i wanted to thank you for the opportunity to thanks senator leno and assemblyman who introduced the bill. i represent dignity 9 which includes the neighborhoods find mission and portal. the mission has the largest number of evictions in the city it's ground sdoerp for whaep to the city. it's sad to see the democrats i think while we dangerous about whether or not we need an ellis act if you really building the ellis act is needed to allow long-term alongside to get out of the business then you want to see to support the ellis

chiu? okay. supervisor kim. >> sorry, i was having trouble with my mic. i also want to express my support for this legislation as well and the work president chiu's office did on it. i think this is a heavy lift, although this is just events on city-owned property and city leased property. i think it is an important step forward as we work to change the behavior and culture. first, we did it with plastic bags and styrofoam and now we're doing it with water bottles. i was also someone who needed to understand the water bottle ban when mayor gavin newsom prohibited them here in city hall. the school followed the following year. our board meetings and school district as well. it definitely takes education to under what is wrong with bottled water and the amount of gas we use to transport water we can get from our own faucets and ensuring there is greater water, filtered water so people feel safe about the water they're drinking is incredibly important. i'm happy to see this moving forward and add my name as a co-sponsor. >> any further discussion? supervisor avalos. >> just want to thank president chiu for coming forward with this legislation. and one thing i think that needs to be touched upon as well is that bottled water is a sign of the privatization of water as well and water is one of the most -- should be one of the most public resources we would have around the world. it sum from the skies, come from the ocean, come from the rivers, and yet the bottled water represents how our economy really dissects water and provides it to us at a great cost. the cost is in our pocket books and in our environment. when we are able to put forward infrastructure that supports water [speaker not understood] i'll be supporting it wholeheartedly. thank you. >> any further discussion? okay, madam clerk, can we have a roll call vote. >> on item 27, supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. supervisor cohen? cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? mar ay

[gavel] >> supervisor campos. >> thank you. and my apologies, colleagues. this item was voted on right after the special recognition, but i want to take this opportunity to simply acknowledge that there are a number of people who are here because of the city college resolution, and this is a very important issue for many people, not only in my district, but throughout the city. and i want to thank the co-sponsors of that resolution, supervisors mar, avalos, wiener, yee, kim, chiu. and the resolution, i think, sent a very clear message about the importance of restoring democratic decision making at city college. it's one of the most treasured and important institutions we have here in san francisco. the resolution urges the state community college chancellor brice harris to restore the voice of san francisco voters and to bring back transparency and public accountability to city college by immediately reinstating the duly elected board of trustees and by removing the special trustees as soon as possible, but no later than july 2014. at a time when san francisco's leaders are coming together to support preserving state funding for city college, if we are able to maintain access to quality education in san francisco, we he need to ensure that we do not lose sight of the importance of transparency and open government. as we know, back in july of 2013 the california community colleges board of governors changed state law to take away the board of trustees power to

chiu for bringing some disputes around this particular legislation and the project, and supervisor chiu, i know, and his staff put a lot of time in and brought the parties together. and i was concerned for a while we were going to have a major dispute today, and i think supervisor chiu, thanks to you and your office and the work that you all put in, we now have apparently an agreement. and, so, i think that's exactly the way the process should go. i think this will be a terrific development for union square. i think it will be a positive thing. in addition to the jobs it will create, it's going to be good for people visiting union square. so, i'm really pleased with this result and i will entertain a motion to put this out of committee with positive recommendation. >> so moved. >> i'll make that motion. >> motion by supervisor kim, and we'll take that without objection.

chiu. which >>president david chiu: colleagues, thank you for bringing up this item particularly as it relates to lobbying. this is an effort that our city attorney and i began last year and mr. herrera will be joining us momentarily to make some introductory comments and it's timely to start this conversation given our city attorneys recent proposed settlement for a violation of lobbying ordinance announced last week. a few introductory comments as to why we are doing this, we know we have many ethics and lobbying laws on our books but there is a strong perspective held by many in the city that we need to do better. during my first term on the board i passed several ordinances to pass online lobbying activities, to report electronic filing of campaign statements and our city's conflict of interest code. in my second term eye a better understanding of how influences from and important decisions within our $7.9 billion government. i hear regularly from constituent from governmental transparency and this reform packet designed to increase public confidence in the everyday workings of our local government. to shine a brighter light to lead to better and open decisions by city officials. let me also make it clear that while our proposals impact certain activities such as lobbying and permanent expediting. we are saying it's important for the public to know when they occur that there be transparency as former supreme court once said, sunlight is the best disinfect ant. what i would like to do is look at a few issue of our ordinance and this is a complex legislation that covers a variety of different topics and my office continues to work with our city attorney on a wide a n array of legislation. our city attorney has arrived, herrera, white, gibner and advocates for strong ethics and transparency laws. we have worked together for a number of was no put this packet together and attend this hearing to let folks know that we are kicking off this discussion and hopefully in the coming weeks we'll be able to have some clarity over a few remaining issues that are outstanding before we come back to this committee and ask for our committee to move this out to the full board. with that, i would like to invite up our city attorney mr. herrera for some comments. >> thank you, mr. president and members of the board and thank you for the opportunity to come and spend a couple minutes to talk about this legislation forum today. first i want to thank and congratulate president chu for all of his hard work over the last year. you may recall that supervisor chiu and i introduced this legislation last year and at the time announced it was our belief that thises the most important ethics legislation to advance before the board of supervisors in its generation and i happen to believe that that remains the truth. we have painstakingly worked over the last year with supervisor chiu's office to put together the packet that you are considering today really concedes the orange -- objective over this legislation. over the last year it has repeatedly demonstrated it's is the importance of promoting legislation that is in the best keeping of the ethical and the people have the confidence of the transparency. i think this legislation accomplishes that. i know we'll get a number of different views and discussions. make no mistake the broad outlines that supervisor chiu and i have to do needs to happen and we agree it's in the best interest of the business that we do here in city hall. the legislation that you have before you today does a number of things.

chiu's legislation and it seems like supervisor chiu's legislation although i hadn't read it has provisions that overlap into this one. >> thank you. i also want to thank staff for the report especially in the exhibits there was a lot of information. following open the two pieces of legislation i would consider having them considered together at land use or the board of supervisors especially because there are a notice. on the question of rental unit we should consider ways to regulate those not only to convert to a ta c today regardless of what's happening with the lottery but the tenants could turn it into a tic and what's in front of us t is not vacancy control it's noted allowed and lastly two things dr reform we can talk about that that's a good idea and lastly some the information role seems like this is more of a middle-income strategy i want to be clear that looks the three medium is 28 hundred in the staff report you would have to make over $100,000 to afford that it's hitting a certain part of the market whether or not you want to call it, your honor middle-income >> i guess this goes without saying supervisor but this would be restricted to a unit that would have to, created for a rental purpose i couldn't create that and have it owned by your children separate. >> it's not limited first of all, i don't know i double it legal to say this unit can only be rental. and the fact is, you know, i'll give you an example after a community meeting in the association a guy said i'm in my 60s and hiv positive and disabled i own a single-family home and a few years ago because i can't get up the steps i moved into the unit and rent out the 0 upstairs unit. people have said i want my kid to be able to move back to college and live in the city so you might want to have a family member why people live in different kinds of unit. in terms of the $2,800 number commissioner wu. that is something by planning department with all respected to the staff i don't agree with the survey one bedroom off of grazing list in the neighborhood i don't think you can automatically converts that garage so that number is fairly misleading >> >> supervisor i understand there's many different instances and your elective as flexibility. i want to make a motion to approve the two staff recommendations we call those additional dwelling unit and the other recommendation would be we will allow for them to be over seven hundred and 50 square feet >> you're not doing the monitoring. >> well, they, monitor but in their opinion nothing can be done p with control in prices. so - >> just to be clear it's not about controlling the prices but monitoring. >> yeah. monitoring let's see the result of what came out i'm accepting of that suggestion from staff also in my motion. >> can i make a comment to that. deputy city attorney. i think the supervisor was supportive of that recommendations but i agree it would be wise to culpability with our office and the dependent on the method of that monitoring and whether or not the information should be provided to the public and the agency vat as opposed to containing any private information so if you'll add that >> i will accept that that's wise to have a consultation with the city attorney with the public information clear it with the city attorney first. that's part of my motion >> second. commissioner sugaya. two quick comments one to the lady that testified in the second row. i think the legislation that will effect your particular situation is supervisor chiu's. >> (inaudible). >> because supervisor wiener's legislation is slightly different in terms of the legislation. just to clarify that and the whole supervisor wiener can some others c others can supervisor chiu put it into his legislation. is it limited in the area and not citywide >> yeah. he statewide it maybe different but the city attorney can comment on that it's clear and a limited proposal i can't legislate on the 5 hundred feet within my home. >> commissioner hillis. i want to comment >> the conversion having another unit the tics in the future right now if you have a single-family and you add a unit it the rent control subject to the entire two unit building. >> if the unit is added to a single-family building that's not subject to the control because the single-family is not subject to rent control. >> only if it's atkins an existing but if you take a two unit building and add a third unit and the two unit were subject to rent control and if the condo legislation or tic or con

chiu for dwelling constructed without you 0 permits >> before you today is an ordinance proposed by supervisor chiu to grant legal status to unauthorized unit existing right now. before i started my presentation i want to acknowledge supervisor chiu who would like to discuss the proposed ordinance >> good afternoon planning staff i appreciate the opportunity to come and present and let me say to the outside i appreciate you calling this outside i have another meeting coming up but my aid has been involved will be here to help answer any questions about this legislation. i'm sure you're aware of we announced to allow the existing unit without permits to provide for legal status this was lefbs that was developed over the course of 10 months with tenant organizations and housing organizations and property owners and a a number of organizations including the staff. this creates the process to allow a property owner to leg illegal lists one existing unit that was constructed before january of 2013, the property owner will go to the building strishgsz are sprishgsz to determine whether or not it meets the planning codes and could secure any permits for construction. i want to talk for a moment about this legislation we're aware there a
