supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: yeah, i don't know if i'm going to shed light on where city college is right now in terms of the negotiation of the m.o.u., but it's a fair question and one i'll be definitely interested in hearing more of before we vote these items up or down in the full board. i'll have some -- i think i'll have more things to say about this after the public. one question i want to ask from the get-go. i want to ask city staff why this is not structured as a ground lease project? >> supervisor fewer: is staff here to answer the question? >> this is the puc. i think i can answer that question. we didn't structure it as ground lease because we didn't think it would be feasible to get the high numbers for affordable housing. so that was not our intention originally. so... >> supervisor mandelman: because you did not believe that there were developers who would be interested in doing a 99-year rental project? >> that was our belief. and we're going to do infrastructure financing

where are you, supervisor mandelman? >> i am with president ye yee ai would like pressure to civilia civilianize and that won't happen if we don't give them money for the upcoming year. >> i would give $3 million back to civilianize because i have been on them to do that. i understand supervisor ronen and walton. i am sorry we can't have full consensus on this. we are running now and i know supervisor ronen has to leave. i want to put this to bed before she has to leave. i want to say that i am proud of this work. i have been trying to cut the budget for many, many years. every year we have had tens of millions of dollars in increases. this is remarkable. the fact that we are all sort of still not fighting each other that we are good. i want to say and thank the chief, also, with a lot of this was compromise so i thank the committee and the hard work. i want to propose we take baby steps now. i want to say, mr. controller, take note of the intention to accept recommendations agreed upon by this committee today. >> i will

thank you, supervisor mandelman. four are in the mayor's budget and we're working with dph to add two additional ones. and so, first question about these additional teams. do the firefighters have the ability to 5150 someone if they believe it is necessary? >> at this time, we do not. however, simon p arang, in chare of community paramedicine, is here, and he's done outreach with dph and thinking about this and talking about this for a long time. so simon, can you please -- chief pang, can you please speak to that? >> hi. >> how do you feel about us expanding ems six by six? >> well, i've very grateful, but also, you know, anxious because i want to make sure that we don't oversell what we can possibly do. although, it's full steam ahead for us and we want to help the city in nr any way we can. if we wer would to get extra mo, it would start with hiring and training and we would get that done right away. i want to make sure i don't make any unilateral statements without conferring with the health department who is goi

i agree with you, supervisor mandelman. i am adding context why it is limited in this proposed budget and look forward to bring costs down and if more funds are available we will jump on it. >> president yee. >> thank you, chair fewer. it is great that the budget is going to grow pretty substantially the first year and a little bit in the second year, based on last year's budget. this should be to provide additional services and to address the homeless issues. i just have two concerns. one, it is pretty substantial in terms of how you have to ramp-up and everything else. sometimes when i see that type of growth i wonder if it is implementable or not. i think it is really fair to say even before the year is up to come back to the board and give us a report to see how we are doing. if, you know, i would say at least six months later come back to see how you are doing with the spending plan. if indeed you are finding that this in certain things maybe reshuffle to address the issues supervisor mandelman has pointed out. that is

these cuts, in addition to, which would cut into layoffs of police officers, supervisor mandelman and i see supervisor walton and supervisor mandelman and if we could direct our conversation to these proposals on the table now, supervisor walton. >> chair fewer, i have one question that would get me in line with the conversation at hand, because i'm curious to know, couldn't mounted officers go into open positions? >> chair: yes, they would go back into control and not be on the mounted but then be repumped intrepumpedrepurposed into stat. they should be used at the best of the their ability and yes, that answer was that if you were to take half of the police officers off the mounted, they go back to district stayings an. so what we wouldn't have, as i said before, is the money for the stable keepers, which is 200 something thousand b, i think, d those are civil service positions and we would be laying them off and also the hay, the vegetables and the vet. and that amount is all included in the last item, budgeted item. but we would still be paying for the salaries of the sergeant and

office and supervisor mandelman. and i was a little skeptical at the beginning of the process. through the task force we were introduced to new technology and developed for all electric and more technology developed as we speak. however, there is still challenging that persist. and over the last numbers of vehicles and chargeers and legislation and charters that require a large electric load and coupled with the electrical will increase the electrical load significantly and the main switch size which may require pg&e transformer. pg&e standards are not created in san francisco which may create a technical infeasibility due to strict pg&e codes and department of works requirement and pg&e and planning requirements. and the project gets the exemption and should be electric ready and which will be minimum for future owners. and maximized without triggering a transformer. and the technology i would approve for the future and the policies and solar and heat pumps are very noisy. they will be intermittent throughout the ni

in response to supervisor mandelman's question last question, i think supervisor mandelman had recognized and i think the board recognizes the important work of our team, we would ask that you reconsider the attrition level of our department. in some of those positions, we are already in process of interviewing and potentially extending hires before the hiring freeze began. on top of that, we would love to be able to make sure we had the capacity to hire appraisers if we need to to defend commercial appraisals that will be coming up. we accept a ton of appraisals from our commercial properties, so we want to be able to defend the values that we think the city is going to be assessing. allowing us to be able to do the work would be a service that's beneficial and worthwhile. >> chair fewer: thank you, director chu. the request has been heard and recognized by all of us, and thank you for taking these cuts to the department. so i think we have recommendations that the assessor accepts these cuts. thank you, assessor chu. now, we have the mayor's office. are you presenting today? >> yes, i a

supervisor mandelman? let's see if there's any public comments on the continuation. >> clerk: do we have any other speakers in the queue? >> the previous caller has hung. i do an additional caller for this item. >> clerk: thank you. hello caller. welcome. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is rocke robert. i'm disappointed to hear that the item being continued. i hope there's some resolution for this fairly soon. this project has been delayed by number of months. i don't think there's much to naianyone. it's four homes originally five. fire department declared that project is for all. it's such a minimal intrusion on the space. i looked over the applicant's documents, there are multiple examples of this kind of infield inside the existing block. i don't think there's really any danger. i think this project could be more dense. but the sponsors havelesser density to lower the possibilities from the neighbor perhaps unsuccessfully since there's this appeal that's going on. i think you should stop wasting

having said that, i just want to say i really want to commend supervisor ronen and supervisor mandelman for being the leads on the mental health s.f. issue here and the mayor, too. i think this is what we can accomplish when we're all working together, putting our city dollars to solve a problem that's affecting all san franciscans today. it is immoral that we would have this type of mental illness on the streets untreated. and actually i think that it is what is -- it is a concern in every neighborhood in san francisco. and not just in 9 and not just in 8. so i do want to thank them. and actually it's so nuance. and it is so deep that it is hard for me to wrap my mind around it. and so i lean on the guidance of these two supervisors. and i will say exactly the way -- in the same way that i lean on supervisor yee about early childhood providers and also early childhood education, because everyone has a little area in expertise. i do want to thank you so much. as i leave this board, it is really great knowing that you're working together on this, with the mayor also, and that we can actu

i am happy to speak to supervisor mandelman and happy to speak with mr. dicoscio as to whether he has any concerns with the current firearm alarm legislation. >> supervisor safai: okay. >> chair peskin: madam clerk, out of an abundance of caution, are there any members of the public who would like to speak? i will reopen item number 2. >> clerk: thank you, mr. chair. d.t. is checking to see if there are any callers in queue. >> operator: we have one caller in the queue. >> chair peskin: first speaker, please. >> umm, yeah. i just have concerns that this legislation would, you know -- we're having very difficult economic times right now, and so construction -- in some ways, this is a good time for construction because there are fewer people on the roads, and, and so, you know, we need to have that economic -- sort of get back to where people need jobs and allow people to go on. so i have concerns about the economic impacts of that, and yeah. i'd rather construction being happening now as compared to when people don't need to be using the roads than later o

supervisor mandelman? >> i do have a question. hello, chief. >> hello, supervisor. >> i wish i could see you. it is good to hear you. >> back at you. >> i am excited about this expansion of the em6 but i have questions. my recollection is we did a significant in the em6 last year, right? >> we added six people to that team, yes. >> that was -- do you remember the amount of that? >> i don't. i can get it for you. >> six people is not that much less than $2 million. i am thinking it is likely similar increase last year. >> mark will comment on how many people we are looking at. can you let the supervisor know how many people we are looking at for the crisis response team? >> yes, for this we are looking at an additional f.t.e.'s with corresponding backfill for vacancies and relief. >> were you able to fully use the funding for the crisis response team that was put in last year. >> yes. >> a year ago or year and a half ago, the way it was used the list of the highest users of 9 9911 and that is who they were -- 911. it is who they we

wanted to thank supervisor mandelman for bringing this forward. it is incredibly timely and those components are absolutely what we need right now. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> next speaker. >> caller: i am an african-american retired resident of district 1 # 1, vice president of the omica. longtime learner, very opposed to the river and if it is in affordable housing to me -- >> ma'am, i don't mean to interrupt you -- i don't mean to interrupt you -- actually, i do mean to interrupt you. we are on item six. and that is the an exemption from density limits which we are about to continue. the item that you want to speak to is item 7 and 8 which we're about to call so if you can just get back in the queue, we will call you or you can speak about that in just a minute. speak about balboa in a minute. >> thank you, ma'am. sorry for that. are there any other speakers on item number six? >> if i understand it is going to be continued, i will let this go until it is continued. >> thank you, ma'am. okay. there will be hopefully on october -- i'm

in response to supervisor mandelman's question last question, i think supervisor mandelman had recognized and i think the board recognizes the important work of our team, we would ask that you reconsider the attrition level of our department. in some of those positions, we are already in process of interviewing and potentially extending hires before the hiring freeze began. on top of that, we would love to be able to make sure we had the capacity to hire appraisers if we need to to defend commercial appraisals that will be coming up. we accept a ton of appraisals from our commercial properties, so we want to be able to defend the values that we think the city is going to be assessing. allowing us to be able to do the work would be a service that's beneficial and worthwhile. >> chair fewer: thank you, director chu. the request has been heard and recognized by all of us, and thank you for taking these cuts to the department. so i think we have recommendations that the assessor accepts these cuts. thank you, assessor chu. now, we have the mayor's office. are you presenting today? >> yes, i a

supervisor mandelman has extended one tier of the four-tier seismic retrofit mandate. so we're concerned that the effect of this ordinance is that it will postpone code mandated work, so we would ask that you create an exemption, and then also extending the deadlines for the tier one, two, and three retrofits as well as the panel upgrades for next summer. certainly under the intent of the ordinance. the city has some deadlines coming up for code mandated work and residential deadlines. we'd just ask that you consider that. thank you. >> chair peskin: thank you, mr. goss. and just so that we're clear, the electricity replacement standard is that which would allow internet use; that that's a standard in this legislation. but insofar as the city attorney has determined that the amendments that i've made are substantive, i do intend to continue this item for one week, so that gives us a week to discuss the items that you raised. so are there any other members of the public who would like to comment on this item number 4? >> there is one remaining caller? >> chair peskin: o

oh, yes, supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair fewer, and thank you director. and you and your agency have done extraordinary things over these last six months. i really want to note the recognition that i think that you received, and maybe you could talk a little bit more about it. but our response was compared favorably, your response favorably from the equity responses to the other transit agencies either around the united states or the world. and i think that is something that you should brag about a little more. go ahead and brag. thank you for the opportunity. so researchers at mcgill university published a peer reviewed findings looking at how all of the larger transit operators in north america responded to the covid crisis. their findings were that because sfmta shifted resources dr dramatically, include out of your district towards places like bayview -- >> we're aware of that, direct director. >> because of the way that we shifted resources we not only were one of the few agencies that advanced equity in declining transit service resources, but we w
