thank you, supervisor ronen. as you know that sfacc is the city's animal shelter, and we enforce all state and local animal welfare laws. bh/ab productions is a group that we are familiar with because they are the group that was here for the live documentary during the pandemic. they were super popular with users, and this is a different company than we had worked with during the pandemic, but it's the same individuals. next slide. we're going to show you just a small portion of a clip of one of our live films. play, please. >> we are on our way to rescue an animal in a chimney. we're going to see if we can work this out and get the animal out of the chimney. where is this house? ah, the person waving at me. hi, there. >> hi. >> look at this kitty cat. there's one right there. >> there's one right there. >> oh, my gosh. did you tell your papamatheakis there was a birdie in -- did you tell your papa that there was a birdie in the chimney? i like kitties. >> yesterday, both of them kept coming over here and looking

supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i first suspended the signs on - fines on property owners during the pandemic. it's been a bit of a slap of the face. you're a victim of crime and then you get fined for not fixing it it fast enough when you are really just trying to make ends meet and run your business. it's an imperfect system. i'm really excited that professor melgar has some ideas that she's working to make happen that would fix this issue without penalizing the businesses or the property owners. in the meantime, i have to agree with supervisor peskin, mandelman and now safai, that, the situation with graffiti is out of control on the streets, certainly in my district as well. we -- i'm looking forward to what supervisor melgar has in store. we don't have any other ways of dealing with it. at least at the moment, we're out of the worst of the pandemic where businesses are up and operating again. i really think this is the right move even though i know it probably pains all of us to go back to the way things were.
