thank you. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is felicia smith. i'm the tenant organizer at the hotel at hyde and geary, half a block away from where a major drug organization is at. i moved there five years ago, and i noticed when i first moved there, there were all these 13 and 14-year-olds out there, and i knew what they were doing. and i wondered, why aren't they in school? and now, it's the same guys out there, and they have become more aggressive. i walk out my door, and within 15 feet, i've got them saying, do you want something, mama? do you want something? it got to the point where i finally screamed, i don't do drugs. they're getting more aggressive, they're getting meaner. i would like to say one thing, that we've had a lot of negativity here. i've been in san francisco 39 years. this is my fourth time around in the tenderloin. it is the best time. it's a community now. i can walk down the street and have people say hi, felicia. how you doing? or give me a hug, come across the street. the three

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you very much, chair fewer. we've been considering the capital plan here at the board of supervisors which currently has a $255 million bond next year, and it occur to see me that if the -- occurs to me if the cost of one park is $125 million and that's likely, construction costs being what they are and project delivery and delay, i'm curious how certain you are that the total bill is going to be $120 million. but i'm also curious to how this fits into other park needs. i was wondering if you could talk a little bit about that $120 million total, your confidence around being able to fund half the park, half the construction costs through private philanthropy, and how this park relates to other capital needs around the city. >> sure. with respect to the $120 million cost estimate. we received a cost estimate from morton lee cost estimators, and it came in at $70 million. so we have added ample cost development to 2022, and the phase two construction to 2024, the midpoint of construction. we're estimating into tho

supervisor gordon moore, and we are joined by supervisor rafael nadal him and today -- supervisor mandelman today. i would like to thank san francisco government t.v. for staffing this meeting. mr. clark, do you have any announcements? >> sans all cell phones and electronic devices. copies of any documents to be included as part of the files are be submitted to the clerk. items acted upon today will appear on the june 4th, board of supervisors agenda, unless otherwise stated. >> please read items one and two together. >> hearing regarding the city services regarding but not limited to supportive housing with wraparound services and adequate beds, mental health counciling and psychological services, resources and to serve the population. item number 2 is an ordinance amending the health code to authorize procedures for the appointment of a conservator for someone caring for health and well-being due to a serious mental illness and substance use disorder, and designating the city attorney to institute the initial proceedings. >> thank you so much. we continue this item from last week, i know

supervisor mandelman? >> again, i want to thank you, chair ronen, and supervisor mark for sticking with us, and of course, to the folks who turned out and spoke, you know, i thank you began by saying, you know, noting this is imperfect legislation, and you really wish that what we were dealing with was a different kind of fix, and the challenge for us here in san francisco as local legislators is that we can't write state legislation, so we have to deal with what is given to us, the tools that come down to us. they are often imperfect, but i think even with its imperfections, s.b. 1045, which i trust is as good as senator weiner could make it for san francisco, is worth moving forward with. i think we do have an urgent crisis and should be seizing every tool. i think s.b. 40 may be an improvement on 1045. there are things i like about it more, and there things that i like about it less. the fundamental question about whether to move forward with a tool like this is the same for s.b. 1045 as it is for s.b.

i completely agree with supervisor mandelman on that point. i have a number of questions. we will get to public comment right after i ask these questions. stay tuned and thank you for being patient everyone. i am wondering, i noticed -- let me back up. if someone could come up maybe jail and walk me through -- maybe jill and walk me through what this would look like what a -- how this would work. let's take melanie. melanie has not accepted voluntary services 5150 for 10 times. this law goes into effect, and the next time she is 5150, where will she go? >> are you asking me to provide a pathway for her, assuming sb40 passes at the state level? >> i will talk about sb40 later. i am concerned we are having this discussion with sb40 pending. i am assuming that 1045, you know, that this legislation passes and then i am assuming whether it is the police. under sb1045 we would be engaging angelica's team and other folks from the sf hotted team would be engaging with melanie. a client like her is homeless on the streets, trying to engage her in voluntary treatment which she has r

we would also like to thank -- supervisor mandelman likes to thank people who does the work.we would also like to thank our supervisors for this ordinance, supervisors ronen and brown. we are proud to bring this ordinance before you today along with the castro lgbtq community who you will soon hear from. we are looking forward to continuing to work with this community as well as the commission in following the passage of the ordinance to ensure it is successful, and i am here to answer any questions you have either now or following the community presentation. >> president hyland: thank you. okay. >> good afternoon, everybody. thank you, commissioners for hearing from both the supervisor's office and our committee. my name is sean haynes, and i am a long time resident of san francisco. i've lived and worked and played in the castro for very many years, and i'm speaking to you today on behalf of the castro lgbt work group. we have many members here today. as a native of san francisco, i remember the first time i went to the castro. i was 19 years old, and my parents had thrown

supervisor mandelman, you don't want to say anything? okay. this has been a very important discussion. and the issue of our broken system or lack thereof of a system in san francisco, around behavioral health and substance use, has really been brought to light by this discussion. and and i think that's been a very important part of this process. and what we've learned is that 200 people, homeless individuals, die in our streets every single year. and that 44% of individuals that leave residential treatment programs, on a voluntary basis, are released right back into the streets, where they almost inevitably decline and are circled back into the system again and again and again. now i agree with supervisor mandelman and the mayor that there are some people that are so sick and are so gravely ill, that they need to be conserved. and that there is a process right now that l.p.s. conservatorship, that works for some, and doesn't work for others, because, for example, substance use isn't a criteria under which someone can be found to be gravely dis
