>> supervisor ronen: two. they're different violations, and then, in addition to that -- >> supervisor safai: two separate violations of the building code? >> supervisor ronen: yes. and in addition to that, a letter to the owner that they're in the risk of having this fire safety life notice issued. >> supervisor safai: so there's two notices on two separate issues and a letter notifying them that you're about to have this shall so it's almost like three warnings, right? >> supervisor ronen: absolutely. >> supervisor safai: okay. i just wanted to clarify. and then, a team comes out -- so -- i'm more concerned -- i think this is great. i'm just concerned about the implementation. i'd like to hear about that. >> supervisor ronen: sure. so assuming there's two notice of violations, then, either a d.b.i. inspector -- >> supervisor safai: i was going to say, are those complaint driven so someone would call -- call in the complaint? >> supervisor ronen: yes. yes. >> supervisor safai: okay. >> supervisor ronen: so th

thank you hillary ronen for being a great partner in this process. >> supervisor ronen: i just wanted to start out by saying i could not be happier this was a long-term fight and there's 20,000 plus workers who have been incredibly patient waiting for a bump in their salaries that is not enough, about you will help make ends meet in this incredibly expensive city. i wanted to start out by giving a special thanks to the mayor, mayor breed and her team, kinhska, andrea and kelly, for engaging and really heartfelt and serious negotiations. it was a pleasure working with you all, and i think it's helpful to build that trust with one another as we are moving forward. so, i really think that took us a long way, and i'm very appreciative of it. so, thank you very much for your commitment. and i wanted to also just give a thanks to the negotiating team and call them out by name. workers to know their unions are fighting for them. i wanted to thank nelson dela cruz, david, santiago. and david cannumb and joseph bryant, and very, very special thanks to the president of the labor council, rudy g

. >> supervisor ronen: sure. if we had required this of all landlords of more than three unit older buildings, then, we would have allowed that pass through. but because we wanted to spare that expense for good acting landlords that are not creating fire safety in their building, this is legislation to landlords that are not acting in good faith. we'd like this to be a deterrent. while sprinklers are the safest possible condition, if all fire safety exits, if alarm systems are up to date, and if all the fire safety codes are overwhelmingly maintained, then, the likelihood of a fire is much less. so we'd like to see people following the law and maintaining their buildings in safe conditions, so it didn't make sense to us to allow this pass through, given that we're targeting particularly bad actors. >> thank you for that. and i do want to agree with some of the comments made earlier. from what i read, it sounds that -- i mean, it's not mandated that you install new fire sprinkler systems. that is one of the potent

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: oh, thank you. i'm glad that you had our controller speak because i wanted to thank you so much, ben, for preparing that, and your staff, and i'm so sorry, i'm forgetting your name. your name? and michael for doing this incredible report. this has been a question that has been on all of our minds for so long, and it is incredibly complicated, and in a short period of time, you produced an excellent product of work. michael, i'm so sorry i forgot it, but i will remember it forward because of your excellent, excellent work, so thank you. it was largely because of the controller's report that supervisor fewer, kim, and i decided to substantially change the ask around the nonprofit worker raise, that at -- the amendments that you have before us today will only cost the city -- only, i mean, we have an $11 billion budget, $500,000 a year, so i don't think that's a major ticket item in our city budget. now the impact on nonprofits is different, and that's where we setup the working group to figure out how

we are joined by supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. it is in response to multiple fires we have seen in the city over the past few years that have led to property damage, massive tenant displacement and some instances loss of life. there were 252 two-alarm or greater residential fires between 2004 and 2016. the most horrendous fire in my district was 22nd and mission in 2015 where 58 men, women and children were displaced. access to fire escapes were locked and that the alarm system didn't work. many of these survivors are low income families with young children. one person also tragically died. today this building is nothing but a hole in the ground and people have not been able to return to their homes or community. this legislation provides the city with a strong mechanism that will help keep our most vulnerable building safe and hopefully prevent tragedies like the one at 22nd and mission in the future. while there are many upstanding building owners in the city, what this legislation does is focus on those who have a pattern of ne

. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i want to thank those who signed on requesting a special meeting, and a special thanks to president cohen who's not going to be able to be here that day, but who helped us facilitate this process. as you know, 2300 workers have been on strike now. they walked out alongside thousands of other workers. this goes to the heart of the economy, it raises questions about the kind of jobs we will support in the coming years, and these are questions that i think the board needs to hear about firsthand. therefore, i have called a hearing on the strike. the motion before you is to have this hearing heard as a committee of the whole as a special board meeting so the entire board can hear testimony about the strike, its causes and its effects. this strike touches on every subject that everyone in our committee deals with, and i understand a similar hearing during the hotel lockout in 2004 played an important role in bringing that dispute to the resolution. i hope not only workers will come but mar

to my right, will be vice chair, supervisor and ronen we have supervisor peskin. i would like to thank jesse larson and helena mendoza for staffing this meeting. mr clerk, do you have any announcements. >> thank you. please ensure you have silenced your electronic devices. completed speaker cards and any documents to be completed as part of the files to be committed -- given to the clerk. >> chair mandelman: great. mr clerk, please call the first item. >> agenda item number 1 is a hearing to consider the promise to premise transfer of a nonsale general public liquor licenses doing business at a pub located at 1706 post street. it will serve the public convenience and necessity of the city and county. >> chair mandelman: great. i don't believe we have a representative from the sfpd here but we do have the recommendation for approval. >> hold on but we do have the police department's recommendation for approval with conditions and we also have the applicant. go ahead. >> thank you. mr chair, supervisors, i'm here today -- >> chair mandelman: please state your name.

before you do that, i'd like to recognize supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. we did ask the city to bring us the relevant parts of the d.a. that memorialized the parts of the amendment, and we have not been given -- >> president cohen: i think that's what's being circulated now. >> supervisor ronen: okay. >> president cohen: they're doing it now. >> good afternoon, ann to 3id a from the office of economic and workforce development. the four amendments required a 25% availability on the 1575 units that are being proposed on the site. there's an additional -- the project sponsor's actually providing a large open space area, including the development of six acres of currently private land that will become public park, permanent public park. they will be making improvements to the india basin open space that is existing with parkland, but improvements will be made by the developer. we will end up with a -- over 12 acres of permanently public open space on the project site, and it will be in conjunction with about 1.5 miles of shoreline open space, extending from t

supervisor ronen, you have a few remarks? >> supervisor ronen: yes. thank you. i want to thank you, president cohen, for working with all of us to get this deal to such a good place. and i definitely want to associate myself with supervisor peskin's comments. i think he very eloquently expressed the dilemma that we're in. you know, the small sites program doesn't currently have any money in it. we can't add any small sites to the city, and there's no plan to refill that fund in the near future. the housing trust fund, almost every cent of it is encumbered for the foreseeable future. there's no adding new sites to -- to -- to the queue. almost every dollar's spoken for. of course we know that redevelopment has been gone for a long time, so the money coming from the state for low developable housing is nonexistent. one of the only areas that we have left in the city to get that, whether it's working class housing or workforce housing or middle class housing, any of that housing at all is through these development deals. so having our city leave any money on the ta

supervisor fewer has made a motion and seconded by supervisor ronen. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i think that this piece of legislation is incredibly important, not just as the morally correct thing to do, both the 15 minimum wage in san francisco doesn't cut it for anyone, but it's actually smart policy planning for the city and county of san francisco. before i guess into why, i want to say i really wish we'd dealt with this in the budget process. we'd be in a much better situation if we did. but unfortunately, it didn't happen, and many supervisors explicitly didn't want to deal with it in the budget. so we find ourselves in the position that we're in today. i want to start with the ihss workforce. this is a workforce that takes care of our senior population in san francisco, a population that's not doing too well as it is today but is expected to sky rocket over the next 20 years. this is not just an issue in san francisco, this is an issue in all of california. in fact, there was a -- there was a very good article in the los angeles times this

commissioner ronen? >> commissioner ronen: yes, thank you. thank you for this. the results and findings are extraordinary. anyone paying attention and looking on the streets, the fact there are stickers indicating which cars are potentially driving under uber and lyft are probably not surprised about these findings, but to have some data to finally look at that we have been craving is very, very meaningful and it's extraordinary. i feel if this is not a call to our state legislators to introduce legislation to provide local authority to regulate this new form of transportation that is causing up to or about 50% of the congestion on our streets then i don't know what is. and i think we should consider whether it's through the transportation authority or the board of supervisors of officially passing a resolution asking our state legislators to intervene here because something that's causing such an impact on our local streets and the fact we have such little authority to control or intervene is ridiculous and just not the case in other places in this country and

. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i wanted to make a few remarks with the horrific killings at the tree of life, which was without a doubt, a heinous act of anti-semitism. it was clear he was targeting that synagogue because of the work they were doing to refugee. the killer posted in the immigrant aid society accusing them of bringing in invaders and worse. the extreme right has been obsessing about them and the work they've done to protect and assist refugees seeking asylum. the hatred inflamed by the current administration in washington are directed at all of us. i send my deepest sympathies to who's who loves ones. we are all in this together and we must fight back together. i find myself more and more speechless that after every horrific tragic mass killing that nothing seems to wake up this administration and congress to do something about the ability of assault rifles to people. i don't know what we need to wake us up. after every tragedy that is so hard to even understand, that is is heinous, nothing changes.+

supervisor hillary ronen. [applause] >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much. another big hand for leader pelosi who's going to save our federal government from going in the wrong direction. we are so lucky so interest -- have you as our representative. you bring us so much pride and joy every single day so thank you for your tremendous work. i have the extreme honor of representing the mission district on the san francisco board of supervisors, and i happen to be biased, but i think it is probably the most special neighborhood in the city. [applause] >> supervisor ronen: i'm glad there's lots of people who agree with me. and it is so special it is unique. i mean, we have more beautiful political and artistic murals than -- in a small area than anywhere in the entire world right here in our neighborhood. we have a concentration of the best community-based organizations celebrating the culture and the vibrancy of the incredible community and especially the strength historic latino community who have so much presence in this neighborhood and has for so long. and

supervisor ronen, fewer, kim and stefani. since supervisor stefani also called a hearing on the topic of neighborhood crime units, we will be holding a joint hearing today. i would like -- before i invite everyone, would supervisor stefani like to make a comment? >> thank you. thank you to the chair and the public safety committee for hearing this item today. i want to thank supervisor yee for working with me on this hearing. car break-ins and property crime have become an epidemic in san francisco. when i moved here 17 years ago, broken glass on the street was a rarity and now we see it all the time and it is something we hear about in every neighborhood meeting we go to. i have had three public safety forums in district two since taking office in january. it is something that people talk about all the time. we know that these car burglaries are run by sophisticated criminals. i went down myself to the garage and called it in and two people went out in a mercedes while i was on the phone to the police, laughing at me. we kno
