supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair preston, for those comments. i anticipated this would be a troubling hearing. it has been a troubling hearing, you know, as we have explored skychef appears not just to be trying to circumvent our law, but as you pointed out, chair preston, a law that was unanimously passed, but also now trying to circumvent the -- and avoid the investigation and not and failing to cooperate with the investigation being done by the office of labor standards enforcement. i also want to thank again all of the worker who is called in and thank local 2 for their work to organize a set of folk who is are at the very bottom run of the enterprises that are making so much money for so many in the airline industry even in a pandemic. it struck president walton and me as unbelievable that those workers did not have automatically guaranteed free health care through a pandemic. we have sought to change that with the support of this board and i know that i'm heartened by the show of support here at this hearing. i also want to say, you know,

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, president walton and thank you supervisor safai for bringing us this resolution. one of the terrible things about meth is that there is not a pharmacological treatment as there are for opioids from methadone to others. there are prescriptions that you can give folks who are recovering or trying to go into recovery from opioids. and there just is nothing comparable to that with meth. and the meth test, the contingency management was, you know, one of the very few things that actually seemed to be able to help folks along. so it's really important. medi-cal needs to cover it. this is an important bill. and i believe that i have asked to be a co-sponsor, but if i haven't, please add me. >> supervisor safai: thank you. >> president walton: thank you, supervisor mandelman. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i just wanted to thank supervisor safai and senator wiener for promoting this intervention and i want to echo everything that supervis

supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair peskin. and i want to thank supervisor chan for this legislation. a concern that it does raise for me a little bit and i also will be supporting it, it is the capacity of the office of small business to take on a significant additional responsibility. legacy business is a heavy burden right now being carried i think by one person and so i don't know what kind of thinking there has been about the administrative needs and how we're planning on needing that specifically through our budget. >> supervisor chan: if i may, through chair peskin, and i want to answer that, but i'm going to also make sure to give a chance to regina to answer too. it's her team doing the real heavy lifting. i have a few conversations, i think, one, start off with the understanding that in the most recent times, both the mayor's recovery act for small businesses as well as, you know, budget chair matt haney's budget or entertainment legislation all these are with the focus of small business or the businesses are 15 years

supervisor mandelman? >> thank you, chair preston. so to this basically $3 million is for the most -- ff the most egregious notice of violation generating issues. i am wondering if you can describe what we're getting for our $3million, and how that $3 million price tag relates to what we think are the actual needs. regardless of a new project or a significant change, if we were just going to get this project operating the way people anticipated it would 20 years ago, what's the difference between $3 million and that? >> thank you, supervisor. those are great questions. so the first question: what is our scope of work? well, we followed our rad kind of establishing a hierarchy of needs, because as you acknowledged, we can't do everything that needs doing. our top priorities are life safety. so in this case, the fire alarm systems and repair of the sewer laterals because the sewer and plumbing problems are posing life safety challenges. after life safety, we look at building envelopes. in other words, is the

i want to welcome rafael mandelman. welcome. >> thank you. samson bloom. this is a little bit of like a collision of my multiple world's. i want to grad school 20 something years ago with eric and hey eric, and i worked when i was a lawyer in private practice representing local governments on many teams, are you representing kappa chat? you are on the board. awesome. well, good to see you. so, at any rate, everybody, i am so excited about this particular moment. from the moment that i started as a supervisor, i wanted to see more affordable housing built in district 8 and district 8 is a hard district to get affordable housing built in notwithstanding the displacement that has happened from district 8. it's hard because we're built out and we don't have a lot of available sites because land values are high. from our very first meeting with mayor breed, i've been asking her for help with affordable housing in district 8 and she's been delivering it. she acquired a big giant property on market street that is going to house lgbtq queer seniors and friends. th

you know, i think supervisor stefani and mandelman spoke to this.putting aside the report itself and how it is laid out. i think there are questions and concerns and have been for years about the methodology of these decisions and presentation around it. there continues to be a strong feeling from those of us who are representing neighborhoods that are impacted by these issues and residences impacted. a serious disconnect between what is presented as meeting the standards and expectations of proposition t and what people are experiencing in the field and what they are seeing as patients or clients or service providers. other folks spoke to that. i raised this at the last hearing a while back that supervisor mandelman called. he also spoke to this. some of it if we put barriers how referred, access on the front end, coordination of access when they do express interest that the point at which we begin to measure the amount of time it takes to get them in starting to feel arbitrary. >> if i do not qualify or not referred or not cord mated in a way that

thanks, everybody. >> chairman: thank you, vice chair mandelman. >> thank you, vice chair mandelman. if i might add -- and this is something i had to learn through the years for myself -- with the melaroos that is classified in the slide as city sources, it is funds that are being collected for this project solely. so the city is just holding on to it, and it was anticipated that it would come for this project. so at least to clarify -- mary, you should jump in if i'm not clarifying this correctly. but the money is collected and the city is holding on to it, waiting for this project to get started. so the city has no other purpose for them other than the tjpa project. >> to be sure, it is san francisco taxpayers, and it is supposed to be part of an overall program of funds. >> absolutely, san francisco taxpayers. so, mary, i don't know if you had anything to add about what the plan was. >> i want to clarify that the revenues that are being collected now fund the d.t.x. project, as well as a few other city projects within the trans bay area. so the majority of the funds are dedicated

supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, president walton. and, i have a few things to say. i feel the appeal of free muni. and i hear supervisor chan when she talks about sort of the basic public goods that ought to be available to everyone for free just as part of being a san franciscan or part of being a californian and a american and that is deeply compelling to me and not withstanding masks. i think that this is not a great use for $13 million in san francisco's budget right now. the words "safe, reliable, and frequent" and i do think that san franciscans deserve muni buses that are reliable and frequent i don't think that service adequately reflects the experience of san franciscans riding muni now or actually riding muni before the pandemic. riding muni when i was a kid growing up. i remember the experiences of my grandmother who relied on muni, myself who rely on mun eeushg. and the e-mails and calls that i get from constituents on the streets who wait for buses that pass them by. they did before the pandemic, they're definitely exper
