i know supervisor avalos had some comments. supervisor mar. >> i just wanted to thank the quote, unquote, community of hostels and i think you are a great example of a real sharing economy and the green businesses that you run, the employees, and how you help promote san francisco's benefits to young people that will bring it back all over the world. but i just wanted to thank you. i did see on the web sites that it looks like some of the rooms cost significantly more than $40 but it sounds like this exemption is going up to an amount that i guess has been worked out so it's really in support of you but i know that some of the hostel rooms are more than $40 a night. is that right, miss pagan >> that's correct. and any room above the exemption rate would have to pay hotel tax according to our current --. >> but i'm very supportive and have been educated here today, but especially the great presentations of people who have come before us today. thank you. >> supervisor avalos. >> i am actually fine. motion to approve. >> okay, mot

it's really important we take a vote on the ordinance as proposed today and as i understand the motion by supervisor avalose'll be able to do that and the reason why i seconded the motion i think that as the current version of the legislation moves forward it is appropriate for us in committee to discuss whether or not we should add to the requirement that exists in the law that currently is drafts to require those entities that want to get a tax break from the city to actually provide the information i think that's something that makes a grateful of sense and at a minimum deserves more consideration and the motion will allow that to happen the fact is the same principle applies anyone that is getting a break and enter from the city whether it's by way of a contract or tax break should understand that with that benefit comes the idea that you report on whether or not your painstakingly men and women equally it's in that spirit i support that effort. >> supervisor yee. >> thank you president chiu just wanted to also weigh in and thank supervisor campos for to get this discussion going as we can subtle we're

i want to speak in favor of the suggestions is that were made here by supervisor avalos to have the mayor rescind this appointment and come back in january when it can be further investigated. there have of those very corporations that are gentry gentrification our city. i want to speak in favor of the motion. i'd like to suggest too that for the future, let us consider appointees, if they're going to be made by the mayor, that perhaps they should come from some other part of our economy, someone who understands or economy or alternative investment organizations. thank you. >> my name is kimberly and i i'm a resident of san francisco outer sunset district. i'm here to ask that you reject the appointment of wendy paskin-jordan. in terms of -- the issue that has been the main issue of concern here during your meeting, which is her investment, it's my understanding her investment that theish sure today was made in 2011 and the disclosure was not made until 2014 and i ask why this wasn't made earlier if this is not a concern. secondly, i think that her lack of attention an lack of information

president i appreciate supervisor avalos remarks but i disagree first of all, it's an initial matter colleagues this particular area wasn't 25 or 20 years ago, it was a very challenged neighborhood until recently it was a point challenge due to the incredible work of the residents of that area this has been a drastically improved area the residents of that area deserve a lot of credit we shouldn't reward them but no longer going to give me miles act contracts i want to note that the miles act is not just for obligated properties but to give homeowners an incentive you can do work on historic building in a lot of different was and range of costs in terms of the care and you can go above and beyond to honor the district of those property or change of venues choose no to go above and beyond but entering into a contract you've gone beyond to honor the district of the property if we're going to get into a situation in a historic place not considered to be blighted whatever intense you use we're not going to have miles act contracts in san francisco i can assure you that will be a long tim

employees and i think that this one is one where i can agree to the original language though i know that supervisor avalos and sf loma feels strongly i'm convinced from the data it's a small enough will that i can feel comfortable along with president chiu to add that back in and i'll be casting a motion to add that back in to 20 i know that there will be decision on that item also i know we'll have discussion on the 6 months fiscal dates with the six months wrap up that president chiu proposed and strong feelings from the coalition i've been working that the way too long and 6 months effective date should be the compromises or the agreement and not to have a 6 month wrap up but i'll be listening to the testimony i feel strongly that we need sometime to extend the fiscal date from 3 to 6 months that makes sense but i'm in agreement with our coalition is adding an additional 6 months is not necessary this is legislation that impacts up to 40 thousand retailer workers protecting go workers and larger immigrants and adding that 6 months means people won't have stronger rights as retailer workers i think the

i just question out. supervisor avalos can speak to that >> the mapping project is a community effort. it's participatory action research where community members do their own work and so language there that honors the work that community residents have done to assess the conditions that they live in. that she worked on [inaudible] linking google buses in proximity to places where [inaudible] are having. there are critical part of what we've done to promote [inaudible] policies and they weighed in on issues on placing and people of color and that with this language comes from. >> thank you. >> well, i just want to first point out there's a lot in common that we are really kind of nailbiting over i think some details. but i'm glad to see is that this board is united on further resolve in terms of what we as a body would like to see what this nation would do around an issue that i think that we all agree exists, police brutality and police violence. i was really stunned that month ago when i learned that actually there's no n
