ronen: thank you. >> good morning chair sheehy vice chair ronen, supervisor peskin. i'm here with many of my staff. i really want to thank supervisor ronen for opening up this hearing and i want to acknowledge chair sheehy's commitment to end violence and violence against women in particular and to supervisor stefani to end gun violence. with your leadership i know we could get to a survivor-centered solution. we have distributed the school sexual assault task force, and have a copy of the highlights. i hope you will have a chance to review the 47 recommendations. and the top recommendation is as jane manning stated, a coordinated city response to this pervasive crime. so i look forward to working with each of you on getting to solutions. i did just want to mention mr. espinosa talked about the challenge that sex workers have when they go to police because they are victims of crime, they are raped and robbed. we worked for the last 18 months closely with the community to bring to the police department

commissioner ronen? >> supervisor ronen: sure. thank you. one, with the sort of five areas of sort of interest, sort of that are prompting this desire to create a municipal bank, i don't know how to even phrase this question. it -- given the complexity, if we started with, you know, creating a bank around one goal around, is it then easily possible to add additional goals and -- and purposes as we move forward? >> yeah, absolutely, and i think that's something that we talk about a lot is how you can have a phased approach. for instance, you can sort of start serving a bank, and a banker's bank, and then you can move to originate loans yourself and offer to members of the public. similarly, you can move to mortgages, and small business lending. and we definitely want in the report to show how that phased path could look. >> supervisor ronen: got it. and you know, are you also looking -- of course, i could ask you questions all day because this is so interesting -- yes, we are your perfect nerdy audiences. so complicated and so interesting. bu

>> supervisor ronen: thank you. i think it's so great to watch so many communities fighting hard to continue to thrive and live in san francisco, standing together collectively in solidarity, a tool that will help these communities stay here. it's not often that we see the african, american, transgender, lgbtq, leather, filipino united around something they all see helping them struggle to stay here. that's just really beautifully, and that just hit me very powerfully as i listened to your testimony. i also wanted to mention that so often, because owe pressppr communities are fighting against things that are toppling communities, and this piece of legislation is so unique in that we're creating something to fight for, we're creating a tool that will help what is so amazing and beautiful about our different cultural communities in san francisco, and i think that's something to take note of. i know that often times, communities in protest because of their very existence and racism and and homophobia, and the war again

i will now turn it over tovis chair rh ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much. i will read some introductory remarks and then read the story of a rape survivor who lives out of state and couldn't be here today and then i will turn it over to my colleagues who want to speak and then turn it over to public comment. we have many brave people here today who want to share their story. one day a couple years ago when i was meeting with a city colleague who had returned from a leave of absence i asked her why she had been away. she told me about the nightmare she experienced after being drugged and raped. i began to work with her to advocate her case for the police department -- and learned about th-- since then a number of survivors of sexual violence have come forward and shared stories with my office. secsexual violence is a national epidemic. 1 in 2 women and 1 in 6 men report experiencing sexual violence. with the powerful me too movement, thousands of survivors have been inspired to break their silence around abuse. frankly, i wasn't surprised to hear that so man

. >> supervisor ronen: you keep going with your questions. i have a bunch of comments. >> supervisor safai: going back to the c and d, you talked about creating a new facility for that. sounds like if i demomy house, and i get one of those big bins, i've seen them all over the city, i'm not required to send it to a c and d. >> whether it's happening. >> supervisor safai: well, it sounds like it's not, given there's these facilities that won't tell us, but we're being penalized or it's going against our number. >> we know it's happening. >> i wanted her to answer it. >> supervisor safai: are they competitors? >> no. that's a polish. we're worried about what material we receive. >> supervisor safai: okay. so what about where we're sending our -- our landfill? we have an agreement with a landfill company, a landfill facility, and what's that? how long do we have that, and will that run out at some point? >> i believe there's eight years remaining on the current landfill agreement? >> we just -- one of the first things that happened when i starte

. >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much. next i would like to call up a representative from the police department, not sure who is here representing? >> good morning. my name is greg and i am the commander of the investigative division. i was representatives here from the special victims unit as well and the director of the crime lab should you have specific questions for them. first, as others have mentioned i want to thank you for calling this very important meeting this morning so we could hear some of the stories and concerns that survivors have had with how the police department and other agencies have responded. as i have sat here for the last two hours, it's been an incredible opportunity for us to hear what they think we can can do better and should do better to provide for these survivors, so having those individuals that went first to hear the stories i think was an excellent segue to where we are moving to. i know today that you probably have a lot of questions for the police department about what our response is,

i am in support of supervisor hillary ronen's legislation. i believe it's something we need in san francisco to preserve our culture in different parts of the city and also to maintain an economic stability in each of the other cultural districts. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. eric arguello, calle 24. this is a historic moment for us here in san francisco and in the mission district. i want to share some of the things that we've done since becoming a cultural district and it's because of the designation that we're able to do these things. we're able to preserve 20,000 square feet of pdr. we've become a state culture district. we were diesignated last week. we were able to preserve afford annual housing, looking at the p -- affordable housing, we've been able to provide technical assistance in our culture -- in a culturally competent manner to our businesses along the core co corridor and in the cultural

[agenda item read] >> supervisor ronen: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: thank you very much, supervisor ronen. as you know, may is asian pacific american heritage month, and it's drawing to a close. and i am proud that i was able to partner with the community in this joint legislative effort to remove a racist antiasian legacy from one of our city's public playgrounds, the julius kahn playground in the presidio. our parks and open spaces are meant to be welcoming and open for all to enjoy, regardless of race, religion, gender or other differences. however, former congressman julius kahn's antiasian immigration policy during the early 1900's did not espouse the values that san francisco stands for today: values of respect for diversity, values of tolerance, and values of -- to be inclusive, and appreciation of the many contributions of our immigrant communities. instead, julius kahn's bill made permanent the chinese exclusion act. he further targeted other asian communities by advocating for legislation to also exclude filipinos, japanes

supervisor ronen for introducing th introduci introducing this legislation. my name is claire farley, and i'm the senior advisor to the mar i don't remember. cultural districts protect and bolster the culture, community and pride and safe spaces and economic opportunities for some of terrific's most vulnerable communities. this is increliable important at a time when communities are being displaced more than ever with our housing crisis and wealth and inequality. our office has had the opportunity to support the transgender district, and we look forward to continuing our efforts to support additional districts. at our office we believe that it's important for the city to support cultural districts to support cultural heritage and protect the culture of our districts so we can continue to be a city that we love. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is honey mahogany. i want to thank you for holding this important hearing on this lengths lation that was introduced by supervisor hillary ronen with so ma

supervisor ronen? >>> ronen, president. supervisor tang? tang, present. supervisor yee? yee, present. >>> will you join me for the pledge of allegiance. >>> without objection, those meeting minutes will be approved after public comment. madam clerk, please read the consent agenda. >>> items one and two are on consent. these items are considered routi routine. >>> madam clerk, please call the role. >>> on items one and two. supervise supervisor yee? yee, aye. supervisor breed? breed, aye. supervisor peskin? peskin, aye. >>> madam clerk, let's go to the next item. >>> an ordnance to amend the movement code. >>> item six appropriates $146 million of proceeds from the general obligation housing bond series 2018 d. for public housing, low income housing and investment in the mission neighborhood and middle income housing in 2017-2018. and item seven appropriates $52.5 million of proceeds for improvements in seismic strengthening for mental health emergency response and safety and homeless shelter and servic

supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: yes, mr. sucre, i'm just trying to get a sense of the hours that senor sisig were operating when they were operating at this site. i don't know if you know the answer to that question. if not, if i could bring forward adam to answer that question. do you know the answer to that question? >> sure. so you remain, senor sisig is operating under a mobile food facility temporary use authorization. they obtained a temporary use authorization in january of 2017. under this, we don't actually have specific hours that are assigned to a temporary use. they're either allowed to operate six days for 12 hours max or for three days as a 24 hours. so this is something that's specific to mobile food facilities, basically, someplace on a private lot, not within a building, for example. >> supervisor ronen: could i -- is it proper, madam chair, to ask the -- adam the hours that he was -- >> president breed: yeah, this is the time. fine. >> supervisor ronen: okay. if you could come forward. >> yeah. as he mentio

. >> supervisor ronen: sure. again, there's never been a process before delineated, so they would all look a little different. so we want -- we want there to be a point person, whether it's an executive director or administrator for every different cultural district because often without a staffer whose full-time job in the community is concentrating, then things aren't able to thrive in the same way? and so that is prescribed in the legislation. but the way in which the decision making bodies work around funding and around, you know, prioritization of projects is going to differ. in an original version of the legislation, there was a time where we thought, and i still think this somewhat, that there should be a c.a.c. for every single cultural district because we want that oversight and that responsibility and that place for public input for every single one, but not all my colleagues felt the same about that, so i'm trying to be collaborative in spirit and give that ability for gompan - governance -- >> supervi

. >> supervisor fewer: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: yes. when i was a legislative aide for supervisor campos, this is something that i worked on. and there's not much we can do or even the type of body that we are at lafco -- i don't even know how to describe it, because of certain issues at the state. we did pass several resolutions supporting bills that encouraged more rigorous enforcement and further defining what this charitable benefit requires at a minimum? so i'm not sure that there's much to do there. what could be interesting especially if we talk to some of our, you know, community and union partners, is a comparative study of the amount of money different nonprofit hospitals spend on meeting this requirement and the -- and the amount of tax benefit they receive from their nonprofit status and just do a comparison to, you know, put some media and other types of pressure on those hospital chains that are not doing their fair chair comparative to their peers? that would be, i think, a really interesting study. but we have -- i have

ronen aye. safai aye. stefani aye. we have approval. >> supervisor peskin: thank you, next item. >> i'm sorry, item 4, state and federal legislation update, this is action item. >> supervisor peskin: mr. watts? >> happy to be here today, sorry i missed last month. things are moving and pro-bresing rapidly -- progressing rapidly as most of the bills are sitting in or going to file on appropriations which will be dealt with at the end of the month. for today, ta staff has recommended four items that require action. two are bills which would require support and one recommending a propose and in addition, there is proposition i would cover first, that recommending support. proposition 69 was as part of the sb 1 package is on the june ballot. and the staff is recommending support of those three essential things. first, it protects the increased increment on the sales tax that is dedicated to transit. secondly, the transportation improvement fund will be treated like article 19. in other words, they'll be prohibited for bein

ronen: that makes sense.stion i had that given the mayor's announcement this week of being climate neutral by 2022, how much is cca going to play a role in that or does that change role or strategies or plans? >> at this point, i don't think it changes our basic strategy, which is to deliver carbon free electricity to san francisco citywide no later than 2030, right? so our program is procuring power and planning long-term to develop a set of resources that will make our electric supply ghg-free. i think the related element is there are other components of the city's overall greenhouse gas footprint and climate footprint that cleanpowersf may contribute to solving, like transportation, for example, switching fuels from burning, combusting gasoline, combusting natural gas to using clean electricity? and you know, that's happening a lot. there's work being done in the city. the department of the environment is working on initiatives to address that. the puc is, as well, but you know, electrifying transportation

thank you. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i do want to -- appreciate that you tried to take some interim quicker steps with the protected bike lanes at certain points that don't affect parking. just wondering what your feedback has been about the half measure? i've gotten mixed feedback and has it made the situation better, or in some cases i've heard that it's a little worse. >> we've heard mixed feedback as well. there was a lot of excitement initially and then a few weeks later we did hear some concerns about how it was operating. there are still vehicles that are choosing to pull into that bike lane, sometimes even squeezing in between the curb and the safe hits. so we're taking a look at that and monitoring it. as we continue moving forward on that. >> supervisor ronen: if it is making matters worse, then we should be making sure that we're taking them out until we have the full study. i want evaluation in the interim on that. i will say that is not the only measure. i was thrilled they responded to the letter, both lyft

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i just wanted to first thank supervisor fewer for taking this on. this is a disappointing moment, there should be a historic move to allow parents of children in school to have a say over who are on the governance body for our education system. it should be something we are proud of and celebrating and instead we are forced to pass an ordinance to educate and alert people of the risks of doing so because we have such a dangerous administration in washington when it comes to immigrants. we toyed with this a lot. we went back and forth about what was the best way to both uphold those rights that san franciscans believe immigrant parents should have, while at the same time protecting those communities. it wasn't an easy process. this is a sad day for us and hopefully we will have a change in the white house pretty soon where it won't be dangerous for immigrant parents to have a say over their children's education. >> president breed: thank you supervisor ronen. seeing no other names on t

and i will recognize supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i really want to thank everyone who came out today. when the appellant first came to our office to share his proposal for a parking lot plus food truck park, at the lot in 17th and valencia, the scope he described was very broad. the range of proposed activities. he talked about pop-up options, a vision up to four food trucks that also served beer and wine, and hours that extended to 11 p.m. his initial outreach to neighbors and their conversations with my office touched about various compromised options but no solid agreement was presented when the cu went before the planning commission. during the commission hearing neighbors expressed strong opposition to alcohol being served and asked for mitigation to prevent drinking and partying, to limit hours and subdue noise. and matter of fact and specific problem raised by the 25-year-old taco across the street, patrons were crossing the street to use their rest rooms. the planning commission responded to concerns that food trucks would be

i'm supervisor jeff sheehy to my right, is supervisor ronen. also thank charles criminak and tom from sfgov-tv for staffing this meeting. >> silence your cell phones and speaker cards should be mitt -- submitted to the clerk. items acted on will be on the june 25, 2018, agenda, unless otherwise stated. >> today's meeting public comment will be one minute and item number 3 will be called out of order. also, a motion to excuse supervisor peskin and supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer is not part of the meeting. but supervisor peskin. >> so moved. >> ok. i've spoken with supervisor fewer and their office would like a continuance -- sorry. mr. clerk, would you please call item number 3. >> clerk: 3, resolution urging the sheriff's department and department of public health to conduct a baseline assessment of existing food vendors and evaluate vendor alignment with the good food purchasing standards. supervisor fewer would like a continuance to the june meeting. any members of the public who would like to speak on this item? thank you. public comm

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. these reappointment opportunities, every time are nice because we get to say all these nice things about you, that you usually only hear when you retire. i want to echo all my colleagues being legislative aide and supervisor, getting to work with you is an absolute pleasure. i learn so much, you are always willing to think creatively to help all of us achieve our policies, goals, aims, while always being honest and forthright and i want to echo everyone and appreciate and i'm glad to be supporting your reappointment today. >> president breed: thank you. supervisor peskin, did you have more to say? no? supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, supervisor cohen. i just want to say i appreciate working with you in the 11 years in this building and you didn't treat me less important when i was an aide or when i became supervisor, like i said, it's less about what we say on a given issue but how we hear people and treat them and i think kindness is so important in public servic

moved by commissioner ronen, seconded by commissioner pollock.ithout objection, these minutes are approved. [ gavel ]. >> supervisor fewer: madam clerk, can you please call item number three. [agenda item read] >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. i believe we have a presentation from mike himes from the san francisco public utilities commission. >> good afternoon, commissioners. mike himes, director of cleanpowersf for the sfpuc. pleasure to be here with you this friday afternoon. i know that you are pressed for time. i do have an update for you. i'll keep my remarks fairly brief. i did distribute a few slides. i can run through them. fortunatel fortunately, there's only a few of thing. just before i do that, i want to start by letting you know as we sort of do with all of these updates, we continue to serve our customers successfully in the city. we've got about 81,000 active accounts. that's the number that i reported previously. opt out rate has stayed the same. it's about 3.2% cumulative since we launched. our opt up rate to supergreen

supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i wanted to thank president breed for doing a in memorial for barbara brown and ask to be added as co-sponsor. >> clerk: that concludes the introduction of new business. >> supervisor breed: thank you, madam clerk, can we please go back to our items 34 and 33 -- 33 and 34? mr. davidson, you have a new report for us? >> clerk: it's 34 and 35. >> supervisor breed: thank you. supervisor peskin. >> supervisor peskin: i want to bring to the board's attention an email that we all received yesterday at 7:40 a.m. with regard to 933 dartmouth. i don't know if mr. davidson has received that. i can give it to you, but it comes from an individual who indicates that she is in a skilled nursing facility and unable to address this issue at this time so i can -- >> let me take a look at it, supervisor. >> supervisor breed: i thank you for that particular matter, mr. davidson, is it possible that we could continue that particular item as we go through the rest of the items that you will make changes t

i hope we're doing that in all school. >> every school. >> supervisor ronen: okay. fantastic. that's great that she's learning that. so she mimics that at home, which is fantastic. and then, i know we have really great -- i have to do a shout out for green streets, which started in my district and is an amazing program that specifically works in public housing facilities and really works on education and behavioral change. i think we need that. i think we need more of those intensive training both for, you know, kids and in big, large complexes where that habit isn't formed. but then, i think we need compliance at this point. if we are -- if our curve is going in the wrong direction, and people say they know why it's important, and they say they know how to do it, but they're just not taking the time, well, they need to take the time. and it's time now. we've been very generous in our education, and if that's what's truly been causing the problem, then we have to do that. i don't have much faith in president trump or his administration certainly on environmental issues, but th
