please welcome supervisor raphael mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: good morning, everybody. it does -- you know, february does feel like a slightly odd time to be celebrating time, but i will say there's never a bad time for the queer community to take the mayor's balcony, so we are happy to be here. and madam mayor, i think it is just worth noting the extraordinary collection of queer department heads you have, from clair farley at the o.t.i., and grant colfax at the department of public health, and jeffrey tumlin, and sherreen mcspadden. you have a very queer administration, and we are quite appreciative of that. [applause] >> supervisor mandelman: the trustees never get acknowledge them, so i'm going to acknowledge them now. we have our past president, alex randolph of the college board, and our current president, tom temprano of the college board, doing great and important work. you know, as i -- and then, i also do want to congratulate fred lopez. thank you, fred, thank you, carolyn. thank you to the whole board. pride has never been easy, but it is important, so i -- t

supervisor mandelman. >> thank you. colleagues. these two items will allow the department of public health to open a 30 bed shelter at 1156 valencia street. it is to extend a $3 million grant to help fund creation of the 30 bed community hummingbird facility. two is to enter a lease with salvation army for use of 1156 valencia for a term of three years. soon after i took office in the summer of 2018, i visited the city's first and still only hummingbird place located on the general hospital campus. it is a 24 hour behavioral center with 29 beds serving homeless people with mental illness. with an estimated 4,000 unhoused in san francisco meeting these suffering from mental illness and substance abuse it is clear our current 29 hummingbird beds don't come close to meeting the need. we can see every day what happens when we don't have enough places to take unsheltered people. too many end up in psychiatric services or emergency rooms or jail. more than half all patients are homeless and between october and december 2019, pes was on d

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: well, i'm trying to figure out the overlay of the two amendments, because i think both supervisors have proposed to add flexibility, and i appreciate the additional flexibility that both are offering. i think that supervisor haney's legislation or amendment contemplates the possibility that a hummingbird could meet the requirements of this legislation by having the 30-bed limit, and i'm not sure that i saw something like that in supervisor mar's amendments, which i could be missing. we're quick reading up here, so i'm not sure. but if another temporary shelter includes something that has at least 30 individuals, i'm not -- i'm not sure if that was specifically done for, like, a hummingbird or something that catered to people with individual heightened needs. and i'm not sure -- a new homeless facility is defined as a nav center, which i'm not sure includes a hummingbird. it needs to have 150 beds or something like that. there's some minimum that needs to be me

no worries. >> chair fewer: supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: yeah. i want to add my thanks to the youth commission for analyzing these needs and priorities and your presentation, to bring it to us today. having grownup in san francisco, i've been thinking a little bit about how these issues might have been similar or different 30 years ago when i was young. and definitely, you know, we see the sort of changing reality of housing in san francisco and how that's impacting youth and your recommendations. and i take the point about the placements for folks coming out of the juvenile justice system who need a place to be as well as the need for permanent housing recommendations for t.a.y. that seem critically important. but also, some things never change. i remember riding the 28 and the 29 myself all those years ago, and they were crowded then and didn't come enough, and they're still crowded, and they don't come enough, so... >> chair fewer: yes, supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you, chair fewer. just a quick question because i definitely

also, both supervisor mandelman and peskin and tilly and the t.a.ff participated in all of those deep dives. and all of that information is available on the controller's website, which we can share a link. but we will come back and share that feedback with the larger board because the more people that understand the details and understand the complexities, i think the more advocacy and support we can get when we're making tough tradeoffs. so thank you. >> absolutely. i know when we're dealing with d.p.h., there is a question of does h.r. need to be in the room for every interview? so having labor management at the table to craft this hiring plan i think is a really crucial aspect of coming up with a successful plan. because i know you have your c.b. a., and you're collective bargaining agreement, but there may be some fa facilitating it in a faster manner. and now you're going to include the operators up froment, and front, and i thinks a big shift in philosophy, and i think it helped to avoid many of the problems that we've seen when we purchase ve

>> commissioner mandelman. we have a house roll call please.

>> supervisor ronen: thank you, supervisor mandelman. this is a constantly shifting situation. we're never going to have all the information. we have to act boldly and take a leap of faith at times to say we see you, we understand what you're experiencing. we understand you're deciding today whether or not to close or stay open, and here is another option for you to help you make that decision and hopefully allow you to stay open for three more months while all these other programs are put into place. the idea is to act fast, and it is to act without high barriers, so that all businesses, even those run by immigrants, have a chance. >> chair fewer: thank you. so i want to say that i don't even know the full picture. i know there's been efforts from the city to help with the funds. i don't know where that is, but i also want to say that i just got off the phone this week with merchants in my neighborhood, and yes, small businesses are suffering, and they will continue to suffer throughout this whole pandemic, which we don't know where the end is. i think the questions for me is

so like supervisor mandelman, could you back up a little bit? thank you, i don't want to get in trouble with my staff. >> thank you, president yee. i also just want to acknowledge all of the work that everybody has been doing and to thank everybody for their leadership at this time for all of you who are here as well as the mayor and her staff. i know everybody is working harder than ever during the time of this crisis and so i want to appreciate everybody. i have a few resolutions i want to speak a couple of other issues that other folks introduced. the first is i'm costate-sponsoring resolution with supervisor mar closing the gaps that exist on paid sick leave and other types of leave that individuals, workers, need to be able to access right now. in these times of great need, we want to make sure that our workers know that we support them and currently california law and san francisco law does not include sufficient provis n provisions for the health crisis we're facing. we want to change those laws at the federal and state level. business 6

>> supervisor mandelman: thank you, president yee. colleagues, you may recall that this item was continued from our meeting on february 11 to today's meeting. in the intervening month, my office has been working with the project applicant and the appellants to be finalizing an appeal. i can report we've made significant progress toward a mediation, and because of that, both parties have requested an additional two weeks to finalize the details. accordingly, i would like body, the lejs laytigislative the executive branch, as well as the most important branch in this matter, which is our public utilities commission, and their commission, and we will be meeting with them in closed session later this afternoon. as the short title read by the clerk indicates, this is consistent with a number of actions and policy positions that we have taken and the p.u.c. has taken. the p.u.c. is adopting a resolution that is very, very similar to the resolution that is before us. i want to thank supervisor ronen for her leadership around this issue and f
