examples of those i just shared require a commitment to the city's equity goals and the private-sector resources are being provided in the absence of the city appropriating funds to support the provision of additional city resources for verified equity accesses looking to start businesses here. this has ensured that the city's equity applicants are still receiving some support, just through the private sector. thank you for taking the time to hear this item today. the office of cannabis respectfully requests your support. i'm happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you very much. supervisor peskin, do you have any questions? >> i have no questions. subject to public comment, i would move this item to the full board. >> thank you so much. is there any member of the public would like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. there's a notion move this forward with positive recommendation without objection. that motion passes. mr. clerk, can you please call item number two. >> 180251 hearing to learn more about pacific gas and electric company (pg&e) and

throughout san francisco on public transit, which is safe, affordable, reliable, helps us build a more equitiable city, and you realize only about 9% of the sector's emissions calm from that form of mobility, you realize the alignment of public health, environment, economics, all coming together. and i think we're going to see that 8%, which is generally from caltrain, b.a.r.t., and ferries, shrink even more. ferries are moving toward renewable diesel, and our trains are going to electrify. as director raphael mentioned, some of our biggest challenges come from the private sector, and this is cars and trucks moving through san francisco every day. there's really a couple of pathways we need to pursue. i think we need to pursue some bold and innovative actions if we're going to realize the trajectory and realize some of these midcentury climate goals. so this has also been alluded to. this is sort of our city's climate framework or climate brand. it comes from the department of environment. i think it's very effective for us, when we go out and communicate with stakeholders and the public. what i'm pri

furthermore we're serving one half of the city's older adults, which i thought was really great. the equity analysis found the city is generally serving older populations at a higher overall rate than younger levels. almost one in three of the city's seniors of color are engaged in community services funded by daas. this indicates that partnerships with community based organizations are successfully reaching these populations. also, consumers accessing services tend to view them favorably, which of course we wanted to know. these services help meet their basis needs and also provide social engagement and provide opportunities for learning and skill building. and gaps and recommendations, the assessment helped us identify areas where we can do better and do more. one key issue that we noted is that people don't know how to find our services. we need to do a lot around public awareness in how to access services. people had identified barriers, some real, some not real to accessing services, and so we need to do a better job of letting people now of how to access services and when they -- when

equity program as well. last time i was here was before we had, in place, a final regulatory structure. it was less than a year ago. since then, the city has issued an equity report that was done by my office in collaboration with the human rights commission in the controllers office. supervisor cohen led the charge in implementing or incrafting an equity program incorporated into the regular la tosh regulatory . so before we get into the over all request, i wanted to familiarize you all with that program so you can better understand the program and the population that we're targeting with this request. so just starting at the very beginning, looking at what supervisor cohen put in article 16 of the police code. this is a requirement to do an equity program. you will recall when i brought this before you before the equity program was established, there was a plate holder for this program. it acknowledged would we put in place a program, we didn't know what it would look like at the time. in that program it would take priority in the over all regulatory scheme. you can see here the over all mandate that was vested with our office in con

i've been fighting for cultural equity in this city for over 20 years, and sometimes trying to explain it to supervisors, sometimes it's -- it maybe feels we're against something else, but what happens in this community, about three years ago, we've been working three years ago together, is we laid cultural equity as the basis of our fight together, and that's what i want to let you know that this is three years in the making, and the first time all of the arts are all together. and if you would have asked me six years ago, would you sit in a room with the opera symphony, i would say no, why would we? but today, i've been in a room with them over three years, and we're talking about the same thing. it's how do we make our city together. that's why i'm really excited with the 2.5 million we're setting aside to be reactionary to the current needs of our city. thank you very much. >> -- as often, the role of art and community art, and that's why this is very important to have this type of funding, so that our communities can have a space and have resources to tell our stories, to share id

this, but the fact that five districts in the city are carrying our multi-family units is distressing, and we can't continue to have that and still have equity in our city. we have seen a hollowing out of the middle class and of communities of color, particularly african american, and i think when we take a look at this holistically, we need to look at our definitions around affordability. rent control is not the same as below market rate, for example. i think when you look at certain communities that have been leaving, there is a direct link between access to jobs and good paying jobs and high wages, and their ability to stay in the city and so there needs to be kind of a jobs and employment overlay or connection, as we are thinking about a plan for truly delivering on affordability. i would also saying sometimes there is a false narrative that actually kind of played out today, earlier in our hearing, between needing to protect our existing housing stock and building new housing. we have to find a way to do both. because we do know that lots of folks are staying put in their rent controlled housing because they don't have any other choice.

there's been a long role in working with minority in women contractors to ensure contracting equity with the cityas a civil rights organization, we're concerned that the proposed ordinance would lead to plummeting numbers. that was the substance of the letter we issued on may 7, which should be in your packet. my remarks today are really to explain the inherent tension between the labor ordinance and mandates under 14b. the graph at the top, you see a $1 million contract. we chose $1 million because that's the proposed threshold amount. all projects valued at $1 million or more would be covered by project labor agreement. what's being lost in the debate about this is that many people think that micro-l.b.s or l.b.s would not be affected because $1 million is a large project amount the problem is, contracting requirements under 14b require us to hit target of 40% r.b.s and 20% sub-goal for micro l.b.s. the way the ordinance is drafted, is that all of those, the 40% would be subject to the same requirements of the -- that the general contractor would be required under the p.l.a. ordinance. interest

equity businesses. despite our efforts to have a process to repair some of the harm done by the war on drugs, our zoning perpetuates that two-tiered system. and as a city we must commit to the equity program and helping upstart businesses, particularly those that are finding themselves -- making their homes in communities of color, and have the same -- making sure they have the same opportunity as those with better networks and better access to capital. and this means that funding for workforce development as we have heard supervisor safai talk about. workforce funding. this means funding for staffing, for a permit expediter in oewd. and this means ensuring that there's funding to support the legal aspect and the navigation of the regulatory procedures. this includes loans for tenant buildouts to meet zoning requirements. not to mention that we've got a long way to go when it goes into building our compassion program. now compassion programs is something that you may be familiar with or not familiar with. in a nutshell it's a simple -- it's simply -- it subsidieses cannibas as a medicine for low-income and for struggling patients. and, frankly, this co

we have robbed a generation of families from establishing equity in the city and building wealth for themselves by not building enough. we have to give people options to buy, to rent, we just have to do more. thanks. >> president hillis: thank you. [please stand by] -- not at the rate that the need increased at by any means. the crisis has raged on and this is great data to show us what that really looks like in excrutiating detail. i am really excited that the planning department is saying that rhna numbers are not good enough going forward, to understand what the jobs housing needs are. the rhna numbers were originally developed in the recession when there was no way to predict the jobs growth that san francisco and the region has seen and we need to be doing the forward looking policies that are going to accommodate the growth of the region that has been astronomical, that should have been a good thing. the fact that there are a whole lot of high wage earners moving to san francisco, those taxable people who could be paying for all the good stuff that this city needs. it should ha

city. for arts commission, for programs that move san francisco arts funding toward cultural equity. for supporting the operation, maintenance and programming of city-owned community and cultural centers as well as to the mohcd for cultural districts in the city neighborhoods. and, lastly, for the arts commission to address needs in the arts committee as determined by cultural services allocation plan so those are the five different categories of funding that would be -- that the hotel tax revenues would be dedicated towards. we were able to fund cultural districts and i want to thank the controler's office in particular for how we were going to fund this without very much of an impact to the general fund. so thank you for that. i think our city -- i'm grateful we had done this for years, but i hope that we can do this for generations to come. with that said, i want to bring up director. thanks for your work on this. >> absolutely. thank you, supervisor tang, members of budget and finance committee. thank you for your consideration of this today. i just want to ebbicho the than you to

and quite frankly, this undermines the city's goal of geographic equity, respectfully to all of you, i find it not only irresponsible but wholly inappropriate that any member of this board would take such an approach to cannabis regulation. we are better than this, we are better than this. if you were recognizing, if you are recognizing in your legislation that you don't -- you do not yet know what the impact of m.c.d. and recreational cannabis dispensaries will be on real estate prices as you do in section 1b on page two, then why are we making this proposal? why is this proposal before us? if you are recognizing in your legislation that you are not yet satisfied with the "cultural and communal considerations of chinatown immigrant and low income populations," as you do in section 1h on page four, why are you, why are we voting on this today instead of investing in public education in a culturally considerate manner. i see this legislation as premature and a back door attempt to get special treatment. not only does it give special treatment but it sets a precedent and it creates an

i think it's innovative approach that will help achieve consistency and equity in the open spaces throughout the city, and therefore i'm looking to add 200,000 toward city space activization. with regard to mental health, we hear about that every day. we heard about it in public comment this morning. i do think it's a critical issue that we need to invest in. we need to deal with the fact that the state and federal government has made cuts to mental health funding for the last three decades, and i would like at this time to increase funding to mental health services by at least $700,000. >> supervisor cohen: okay. >> supervisor stefani: and then, with regard to veterans housing, i think san francisco has historically taken care of its veterans. always, we can do more, and we've provided them with >> supervisor cohen: okay. supervisor sheehy -- just really quickly, i appreciate you just reading your priorities into the record. that's helpful, and we will move in that direction. we'll hear from supervisor sheehy and then supervisor yee. >> supervisor sheehy: yeah, i just had a question. i'll read mine

as a result of our advocacy, some of the city and their dedicated funds to equity outreach went elsewhere. our leaders knew the mess we were walking into. a great deal of our outreach last year was damage control for bike users. despite the fires that you as supervisors and your staff continue to put out on bike share in san francisco, despite the difficult conversations with hundreds and hundreds of low income residents at risk of displacement in this region, i am happy to report that the company is leading the nation, not just california, the nation with the highest proportion of low income riders on a bike share. twenty-one%. funding equity access programs for this community brings options. san jose, because it is outreach on campus, 70% of their writers are low income. san francisco did not have the same amount of outreach on campuses and is at the bottom of all bike share cities right now with 16% low income riders. i urge you to include funding bike share access and investment in our students who are hurting in this area with immense displacement. please consider reviving -- revisin
