>> yes, chair ronen. as we believe -- and by breaking the department up, if it's too small of a department, it likely would have higher -- you would have a higher overhead rate, because as administrative costs, you're trying to break out with at least emphasis that would add to that higher rate. this is something that, obviously, we don't know for sure right now because it hasn't happened yet, but it's based on everything that we've seen, by splitting a department up, you would see a higher overhead rate which would then likely result in a higher cost that would be spread across the city. >> supervisor haney: can i -- [inaudible]. >> chair ronen: oh, sure. supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: yeah. so, again, this is opinion shaped very much by the administration at d.p.w. who are not in support of this. we have an amendment today which would allow for the city administrator to provide the administrative support and services to reduce the amount of any additional administrators that are required. that's

supervisor ronen. >> chair ronen: thank you, chair. so however you would like to run the hearing, should we hear from the d.a. and p.d.? >> thank you, supervisor ronen, it's find to hear from the b.l.a. and then i would say the district attorney bodine. >> chair ronen: okay, thank you. good morning. >> good morning, chair, ronen and supervisor stefani and supervisor walton. we were asked specifically to provide a memo on the potential costs of the proposed office of the oversight board. we did submit a memo this morning. our estimated costs are approximately $2.8 million for the office of inspector general per year. and another $240,000 for the oversight body. totaling about $3 million per year. i do want to point out though that these are just estimates. we base our cost estimates on the composed staffing level in the charter amendment and discussions with the department of police accountability to understand their costs and workload. the charter amendment does specifically state that budget and staffing would be subject to the fiscal

>> supervisor peskin: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: no. what i would say, the hearing is set for the 18th. i don't anticipate that changes unless the clerk of the board for some reason, decides that date doesn't work. i guess my contention is that covid is not like any normal situation. i wish my daughter can be grandfathered and go back to school on august 17th. the world has turned upside down. this wasn't anticipated to delay any hearing. >> supervisor peskin: i guess it wasn't clear to me until you restated it right now. >> supervisor preston: this hearing would have happened sooner. this hearing would have happened way before and the legislation will be following after it. i don't think that's clearly stated for the public. i was on the phone with a clerk this morning. we have about 15 appeals that are now in the queue that have been put on hold because of covid. they are all beginning to be scheduled. this one seem to be at the top of the queue. is that right mr. chair? >> supervisor peskin: i'm no longer the president of this board.

chair ronen? aye. ronen, aye.he motion passes. >> thank you very much. >> chair ronen: have a great day, president you're. mr. clerk, read item 5. >> clerk: item 5 is the charter amendment to amend the charter of the city and county of san francisco to create the sheriff department oversight board to have recommendations to the sheriff and the board of supervisors regarding sheriff's department operations, to create the sheriff's department office of inspector general, under the direction of the inspector general appointed by the oversight board, to investigate complaints of noncriminal misconduct by employees and contractors of the sheriff's department and in-custody deaths, develop policy recommendations for the sheriff's department, and report quarterly its findings, results and recommendations to the sheriff and the oversight board at an election to be held on november 3, 2020. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. good afternoon supervisor walton, how are you? >> supervisor walton: doing great, thank you so much

>> thank you so much chair ronen. colleagues, we prepared this measure because we believe it's imperative that as we contend with our current public health emergency we prepare to provide policy intervention in the future. this would codify it into law permanently. this was created earlier this year that is currently in effect and it offers two additional week of fully paid leave to over 200,000 san franciscans to take care of themselves or a loved one. it would be triggered under a public health emergency situation. however, it's clear that we will be living with the current public health crisis for many months, perhaps a year or longer, and with some version of the current public order for most of it, if not all of the time. as such, i decided it's a better policy approach to continue to reenact the existing emergency order providing public health emergency league and to file this ballot measure. we introduced the second ordinance for the emergency ordinance and will continue to reenact it going forward for the dura

supervisor ronen, you have this. >> supervisor ronen: yes. thank you. dr. bland kept referring to a team. who's on the team? >> yes. so i'm having problems. after this, i'm going to switch to a different network. if i lose you, i'll be back in. so lauren bruner, who you've heard from, is an analyst working with dr. bland, and there are executive leaders from the behavioral -- from the d.p.h., myself included, who sort of morphed from our early work prior to mental health s.f., from mental health reform weekly meetings to the mental health s.f. legislation and the projects that we had already started working on with mental health reform and the new projects, so, yeah, but it's led by dr. bland and dr. bruner. and i'll be back. >> supervisor ronen: i can talk to dr. simmons in the meantime. so a lot of what you're describing in the dialogue with supervisor mandelman, it sounds like you're putting the cart before the horse. i don't know if any of you can answer these questions because it's sort of dr. bland's main thing, but i do have a lot of questions about

i'm a resident of supervisor ronen's district. i wanted to call again to thank you for listening to the community and removing maximized police presence and moving the charter amendment forward today. i wanted to just give a brief comment to the organizational work that's been happening and a shout-out to defund sfpd now. we look forward to meeting with you one-on-one to discuss the concrete ways to cut the budget of the sfpd and this charter amendment is crucial because it gives us more flexibility in the budget and we need to reallocate resources to services that make us safe. supervisor yee, thank you for bringing this forward. one comment i wanted to make is that, this is a predominantly black campaign and we're turning out plentiy new voices and voters and that means they are not familiar with who is and who is not present. we appreciate your patience in listening to them, even though they are first-time commenters and may not be what they're used to hear. this is a good thing for democracy and hopefully, it will be engaged i

. >> good morning chair ronen and supervisors. i want to thank supervisor preston and all the cosponsors for your support of the motion ordering an ordinance be submitted to the voters on november 3rd authorizing the city and county to rehabilitate up to 10,000 affordable rental units in the city under article xxxiv of the california constitution. voter approval of this companion ballot measure is essential to clearing the way currently blocked by arbitrary law at the state level, to grant our city the authority to provide desperately municipal housing. i echo the words of several public commenters today. it's about time. it's about time to create equity in our housing policy. thank you. >> thank you. >> this resulted in what we have now and the policies of the social security administration was that people must be housed and if they couldn't get the housing on their own, we had to get payees to get them housing. we didn't get out to expect them to find it. housing was a human right like water and we didn't have to discuss it then

monhay from supervisor ronen's office. >> yes, thank you for being here. i wanted to follow-up on the landmark tree process. the specific question would be whether the supervisors' office has received requests for landmarking trees and what has been the response top that request or considerations regarding that type of request if it was needed. >> absolutely. can you hear me? >> yes, we can. >> thank you. >> we're completely supportive of the process and i that i what would hope as a result of this determination by the board there could be a committed partnership from buck to work with our office in the community and pursuing the remainder tree and it's something that we're open to and i think really reflects the significance and the value of these trees to the corridor so our office is committed to that process if we have a commitment from buff to partner with us to do the same. commissioners tanner, your earlier question, if there's some incorporation by reference of the terms in that document that outline understanding that would be a way to honour the

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. thank you so much for this. it's very helpful.ons. one, with all of the state budget updates that you just gave us, does that in any way shape or form alter or most recent $1.7 billion deficit projection? >> so the $1.7 billion was created before we had the govern -- put it out maybe a day before the governor's may revise. so, no. not in any meaningful way. there might be some tinkering to a couple of sources, but we still -- we're still facing that $1.5 billion shortfall for the upcoming two years. >> supervisor ronen: and then the $150 million in excess eraf annually going forward that you say is no longer in question, meaning they can count on it from this point forward going forward? >> that is the hope. i think the thinking around excess eraf, we're facing the largest budget shortfall. we had an opportunity to claw back the whole thing and there was discussion around the margins, calculationsnd and a few key issues. they didn't eliminate it as part of the state budget, so we believe it's a safe reliable source. at least for n

[roll call vote] >> supervisor peskin: colleagues , i would like to invite you if you want, no pressure, to cosponsor the item as amended. >> please sign me as a co-sponsor. >> me as well. >> supervisor peskin: on th

. >> thank you chair ronen and committee members. this is doug on behalf of teamsters joint council 7. we're also members of the food chain workers alliance. i want to thank supervisor fewer for the shout-out and her leadership. i feel so proud when i think of how far we come since that first meeting at the school district. thanks to all the advocates for caring out this important work and bringing it over to city government as well. the steamsteres represent over 75,000 workers in california's food chain. we pick, pull, package, distribute, and even compost food. we're the farm to landfill union. the majority of our workers are of color and immigrants and essential workers. this policy puts our money where our mouth is by directing our purchasing dollars to companies that create good jobs. our budget is a value document. our union knows your value and your dedication to workers having jobs that pay a living wage, benefits and are healthy and safe. adopting this will keep san francisco as a national leader on these issues. thank you

imagine o i would like to thank my co sponsors, ronen, fewer and haney and invite my colleagues on this panel to feel free to join as co sponsors. i do really want to thank my chief-of-staff who came up with a catchy phrase, c.u., conditional use. commissioner mandelman had a report in march >> the meaning through this legislation and i think we've all experienced this, arose out of mine and other offices work to help small businesses through the permitting offices and where we've all repeatedly encountered frustrations as applications would get lost on the desks of staff at planning department or more often repeatedly be transferred from one planner to another. we also reeyes th rerealize thee storefront conditional uses to be treated in much the same manner as conditional uses for extremely large developments which were aimed at regulating things like off street parking consistent and curb cuts consistent with longstanding policies of the city. the poster child in my district for this legislation is (inaudible) which took some 340 days after submitting an application, which should hav
