sor safai: a y. an aou can awe because it's owned and operated by recology. >> supervisor safai: oh, it is? >> yeah. >> supervisor safai: that makes it easier. >> it doesn't make it easier. rather not go there. >> supervisor safai: it makes it easier to negotiate. >> no, that is not how it happens. yeah, yeah. the landfill contract was competitively bid. >> supervisor safai: i'm sorry. >> for the record, there was a very, very -- >> supervisor safai: no, but it's nice that recology owns the landfill. >> supervisor ronen: can i understand this a little bit more, when you say 7.5 years, you mean that's the contract. >> on the contract. >> supervisor ronen: but eventually, the landfill fills up. how does that work? >> that's a great question. unfortunat a lotf these landfills were permitted a long time ago, and the capacities that they were permitted well exceeded the need at that time. also, composting and recycling were pervasive, so there is a significant amount of landfill capacity left. >> supervis

supervisor safai: you got it? >> no -- >> supervisor safai: okay. i think that's the same version. >> hopefully, yeah. sent it yesterday, just a small change -- perfect. it'll do. wish it wasn't on paper. there would be zero waste. >> supervisor safai: please proceed. >> all right. good morning, supervisors. thank you. really appreciate the opportunity to talk about this really important topic. supervisor safai, i'm glad to hear you're so passionate about this. i'm looking forward to sharing with you the details that you asked for about, kind of what we're doing to help get to zero waste and what challenges we currently face and what are our opportunities currently as a result. that slide that director rafael shared with you about disposal, that's primarily related to the citywide disposal. this graph that you'll see here today shows the tons that recology is touching. and as you can see, the compost and recycling participation is matching the population growth of the city. so as we're getting more residents into

. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> rules committee, supervisor safai, stefani, yee, and cohen, i wanted to thank you for the opportunity to speak on behalf of police commission candidate julie soo. as you know her qualifications, her experience and her fortitude is represented in the application, and we feel she has the qualification to conduct the job in a thorough and beneficial way for the communities of san francisco. she's spent 30 years -- she's spent most of her life in an understanding, contributing to community service and trying to understand and reengineer structural biases, and i think that these are some of the issues that are important in trying to resolve -- in order to resolve at the police department. she also has -- she also has worked with the police commission on domestic -- domestic violence issues, as well as on human trafficking issues with -- with -- directly with the police department, so her experiences are relevant for the police commission. she also has -- she also has a tre

m oranges rassi. >> supervisor safai: why don't we bring up dr. morassi. i want to thank i thank you for being today and there are a number of affected departments and i am disappointed they are not here today because this is a very important conversation that we all can learn from. is there another department represented? if you are here representing the department of public health, it would be helpful to sit over there so we can directly ask you questions. >> department of public resources, department of public health and district attorney's office. >> supervisor safai: good because there is definitely some questions that can be asked. dr. morassi. i want to thank supervisor ronen for the important work of radically improving san francisco's repons to sexual assault and harassment. at the hearing and today we heard devastating testimony from survivors who shared their stories publicly and we stand with the survivor leaders in recognize that the city must do a better job of responding to rape victims. 49% o.overtwo years we pointed e need to strengthen th

s. >> supervisor safai: okay. >> i'm sorry, and the second part of the question? >> supervisor safai: the second question is how active have you been with the commission and have you stayed and attended meetings? supervisor cohen said that she noticed that, but i want to hear it from your mouth. >> i've attended commission meetings. i attended i think one or two. i want to say it's meeting of the whole or something where the police commission came and had a meeting with the board of supervisors. >> supervisor safai: yes, committee of the whole, yeah. >> i watched numerous meetings on-line, just because of the nature of my work, it's he's year do that. [please stand by] . >> as a lawyer, i've been in private practice working for myself, essentially. the meet and confer, i've learned a lot about it. i think i would defer to people with more -- luckily, there's bob hirsch who's on the commission now who has a strong labor background who probably knows these issues in depth that i don't. but really how they arise in t

supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: i just had a couple of questions for maybe staff? can come back up. can you just reiterate, i know supervisor peskin was telling us, but how does this generate inside central soma and outside. >> the $2 is about $12 million. let me get that. >> supervisor safai: either one of you is fine, maybe ms. jones from sfmta. >> yeah, the $2 increase in central soma and the $5 elsewhere would generate under our estimates $11.4 million. >> supervisor safai: how much inside of central soma? >> 8.2. >> and then 3 outside of central soma. >> supervisor safai: is that attached to the actual feasibility. i know the last time the feasibility said it did not compute for central soma. >> the department analysis was that it did not compute, however the planning commission is feeling strong, it probably could. >> supervisor safai: what was some of the reasoning behind that? >> they didn't hear anybody via e-mail, via public testimony -- >> supervisor safai: there was no financial analysis, it was based on the response from the community? >> yeah. >> supe

>> supervisor safai: no. i want you to -- you spent a lot of time in conversation about the lead program. i think one of the things i like about that, hearing you talk today, is the interdepartmental or the multidepartment -- not interdepartmental but more the multidepartmental work that goes into that. all the department agencies, you said department of public health, sheriff's department, sfpd, part part police. talk a little bit more about that and how that will inform the work that you do on the commission. and then my second question -- we'll come back to it. my second question is, you did that work for 12 years, but now you are a labor commissioner, and i'd like you to talk about the work that you've done with labor and then we'll get into the conversation about meet and confer. >> great. with respect to the lead program, one of the things that i was able to do was go to seattle because the program is modelled after the -- after seattle, and san francisco was given a 26-month grant in order to implement

>> i didn't see that but certainly possible. >> supervisor safai: we got that yesterday midday. actually it was sent to you and i just happened to get a copy of it. >> i get hundreds of e-mail a day and i'm always behind. >> supervisor safai: supervisor yee i sa, i saw your name on thr was that from before. >> supervisor yee: in regards to meet an confer i have had a little experience with that legislation and it was legislation to trigger the meet an confer at the committee, so i think it happens at different times. i'm notoverly concerned when it happens as long as it happens. you know, chair sefani has a good point in regards to the rules committee and our duty to listen to the issues that we are responsible for which is department that we choose. i personally prefer i think it should be not with the department of public health because it's kind of odd that it's in the department in which some of the issues might be there and i think it should be outside but that is my own opinion. what i would like to suggest to the chair is that we move this out and move it forward and if t

there are two open seats and 12 applicants. >> supervisor safai: great. so what we are going to do today folks, those applying, each applicant will have five minutes to make their presentation and we'll go through the entire list. after each presentation members of the committee should should be able to ask any questions. you should stay around for the entire hearing because most likely you will be called back up. then after the presentations of each applicant we will open it up for public comment. please call the name of the first applicant. >> our first applicant is linda franklin but she indicated earlier this morning she will not be attending. the next one is sneh rao. >> thank you so much for having me before your committee today. i'm the policy director at the human rights commission. during my time in the city i have worked closely with our diverse communities and law enforcement agencies on a wide range of civil rights and public safety issues. i've worked with our lgbt q communities on hate violence and violence prevention. with our immigrants an

>> supervisor safai: 300,000. it is a citywide focus. and then the last one is under the category of art. and art access. so we have a wonderful facility out in stern grove that is a significant amount of free programming and concert promotion and bringing in arts to the city. we also have a wonderful amphitheater and music venue in mclaren park. the jerry garcia amphitheater. this would allow for there to be a commitment to programming on a larger citywide scale to bring in additional music programming and additional access to that part of town. is the second-largest park in the city. it has been operating some music opportunities picked up against one of the most successful one is jerry day at the jerry garcia amphitheater. we have the opportunity to expand that programming as additional funding would allow for that. >> supervisor cohen: what is the funding you are suggesting? >> supervisor safai: $100,000. >> supervisor cohen: just so i am clear, all the figures that you've given, are these just first year allocations? >> supervisor s

my name is supervisor safai and we are joined by supervisor yee supervisor testify fannie. stephanie. >> please make sure to silence off cell phones. items acted upon today will appear on the june 26 board of supervisor's agenda unless other wise stated. >> i will hand it over to supervisor fewer. charter amendment (first draft) to amend the charter of the city and county of san francisco to create the cannabis commission to oversee the department of cannabis; at an election to be held on november 6, 2018. >> supervisor fewer: we have a brand new multibillion dollar industry with a potential to grow much larger than it has. wife seen the tech industry explode without an equity or justice lens. tech has made a few people wealthy this industry has left a lot of people behind including working class communes of color struckly to stay here. -- that doesn't behind -- welcome give key stakeholders a seat at the decision making table specifically those with a equity lens. [reading] it understand it has been difficult for -- to get a foothold in this market which is why it's critic

i am over my time. >> supervisor safai: you can finish your sentence. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: supervisor cohen? ok. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: just to start, thank you for that. and, you know, i've done a lot of domestic violence prevention work and i think that can be very triggering to lot of people. and i understand where you are coming from. i am wondering, i mean this nation is a wash -- awash in guns. i don't know how that individual got the gun, especially after the circumstances you just -- just described. it sounds like he was in and out of custody that night. i don't know how he ended up with a gun in his possession. but i am going to have the same question that i have to you as you are a public defender and i and the prosecutor and i asked the same question to others. in your experience that you have had with police officers and in the story that you just told, whether or not that is in disciplining officers, you can be impartial

thank you. >> supervisor safai: great. thank you supervisor cohn for such wonderful lines of questioning for all of our applicants here today. a lot of the questions have been asked by supervisor cohn and members of this committee but one thing that's important to me is -- and i believe that supervisor cohn and others have said this in their remarks, this position that you will -- that any of you that are here today will assume is one that requires you to have an understanding of the community, requires you to have an understanding of discipline and disciplinary cases. requires you to have an understanding, i think that's the consensus of this body, the department of justice recommendations and reform, requires you to have some experience working with organized labor, a big part of your job is a question and i've asked this question to some of the other applicants about the concept of meet and confer. have you had any experience working with organized labor and what is your opinion on the concept of meet and confer as it p

supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam president. i too also in agreement with a continuance on this item for the process of drafting some amendments to this. i do want to say some of the conversation we had in land use committee because i think it was a really important conversation. let's keep in mind for the pop-out, which is part of the conversation, about two full-time staff spend their time reviewing these which are routinely approved consistently. part of the goal of this is to free up staff time, so we can get to the long list of affordable housing projects that supervisor ronen brought forward in the hearing, that we could get to a long list of projects all over the city to deal with the backlog of this housing crisis. so a lot of this process improvement is about freeing up staff time and redirecting it to the appropriate area of concentration. that's not to say that we were saying 100% that we wouldn't have review and one of the things that was talked about in committee that i will be supporting an amendment on would be th

but no, i have not. >> supervisor safai: great.and we had some very good conversations and i asked a lot of questions there. if we have anymore questions, we will call you back up. >> thank you. >> supervisor safai: please call the next applicant. >> thank you board members for allowing me this time to present my qualifications for a position on the san francisco police commission. my name is mark, and i am a resident of district two. born in san francisco to an arabic family of small business owners who live and work in district seven. as you know, this is a pivotal time for our city. there is a crisis of faith in regards to how citizens of view those meant to ensure their safety. with a potential shift and command a looming, it is essential that sfpdm continues in its efforts to fulfil the 272 recommendations of the department of justice. this commitment will help build this trust through transparency, accountability, and civilian oversight. we have the opportunity to add to the diversity of the police commission. on the point of

go london. >> supervisor safai: thanks. i just want to remind folks in the audience to please comment on this item. this is not general public comment. we will take that later in the meeting. thank you. >> yeah, hi, supervisors. linda richardson, long time bayview-hunters point resident. i cofounded the southeast alliance for justice and the bayview environmental health task force working with the department of public health. been here 30 years and also helped with the coordination of the land use planning for the entire bayview. i'm here today to support the amendment, the phase one, all of you saw it, the phase one of the shipyard which led to the cohen development, and i need to tell you, as supervisor cohen told you earlier, this development is the economic engine of bayview-hunters point. it was all the decisions that they were mandated to carry out. phase two, the concept plan, like any great development that's going to span about 20 years or so lays out the housing elements, the type of quality and the variations of

supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thanks. i just wanted to clarify. also, are you saying -- also, the kind of a larger question about whether we want additional money over two years for district along with a citywide ask? it doesn't add up, is that the larger -- >> supervisor cohen: yes, we can take that in that direction as well. >> supervisor safai: i think what i've heard is people want more citywide, and i've heard that, but i also support a lot of the requests that are on the -- kind of the larger requests, both district and citywide. so i think that's a strong enough of an argument to ask the mayor's office to go back and see if they can find some additional money. i do also want to chime in on la cocina. i did put that in my original request to your office, so i didn't know if you were referencing me. >> supervisor cohen: i was referencing you. >> supervisor safai: i wanted the public and those watching at home or in the future to understand that was on my list. >> supervisor cohen: i understand, and i wanted to recognize this is a conversation

supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam clerk. i want to take just one moment to say that, you know, today is a day that my heart is filled with sadness becauthe f supreme court ruling. our democracy is under assault by so many different -- in so many different angles. we had a rally today, press conference, led by supervisor fewer at 12:30 to talk about the families that have been ripped apar again by our nation's policies and executive orders by what i am calling dictator in chief. and the idea with rulings to allow members from certain countries based on their religion, based on a country that i personally was born in, my father hails from, i would not be standing here today if that ban had been in place. and it is a sad day in our history, but i will say in many ways, it's also a day -- it's a call to action and it's a call for each and every one of us in this chamber, as many of us had and all of us hado t stand up and say that we will fight for our democracy, and we will fight for what we believe in. so this ruling today is

supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i submit. >> supervisor breed: thank you. first of all, supervisors safai, please add me as a co-sponsor to the resolution. growing up in this city, we -- i grew up in a community, sadly, where gun violence was normal. hearing the gunshots on a regular basis, attending the funerals on a regular basis. and it's sad that this continues and it's really elevated to a place in our schools where this is sadly becoming what is normal for our young people and it's completely not normal and we have to do more in order to address this issue and i hope this time around that the governor signs this very important piece of legislation so that we can ensure that these particular gun shows don't continue to happen at the cow palace. i know that sean richards of brothers against guns, he is always out there with a group of people protesting these gun shows any time they come to the cow palace. sean lost his brother, tracy, who i went to school with, to gun violence in san francisco and he's been doing this for many, many years and i hope we

supervisor safai? >>> thank you, madam president. much of what i was going to say supervisor peskin said. just for clarity, the process of pulling something from a committee to the full board still allows for there to be a committee hearing. that's why we call it a committee of the whole. this process, we have been meeting with many folks in the lbe community. we have been meeting with folks in the building trade. myself and president breed have met with city departments and the city administrator. as supervisor peskin said, there has been progress. the amended version that you see in front of you today from the perspective of the building trades, as you heard them say, has made some significant concessions on their side. that does not mean the debate is done. that means that we are going to have a committee hearing. and i met with five members of the folks from the community as well as president breed's staff just this last week and we received even more comments and we are still continuing the conversation and we're happy to contin

m supervisor safai would like mr. arsay to speak. >> i apologize for missing timing and things like that. i want to ask about city build and how it relates to things on the table. there's been a lot of question about city build and how it may play with this proposal. i know we're going to be prop e proposing amounts and what that means. i think they're very committed to seeing a pathway for all the different underrepresented communities that you work with. i just want to hear your thoughts on that. >> thank you, supervisor safai. in the office, economic, and workforce development, i just want to say thank you for all your hard work, obviously to the city administrator, policy makers, and the contracts particularly lbe coming together. for city build as a program, and i'm happy to provide further context on what city build is or does. it's a program that's been around for 12 years. it's the preapprenticeship program that provides pathways to career opportunities in construction, working with the building trades and uni

i'll turn it over to my colleague, supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: now get down to the dirty work. just want to see if everyone was listening. a lot of people are not necessarily excited about waste, but if we are really thinking about the planet and our future, waste is something that all of us deal with on a daily basis, and produce on a daily basis. and i had the great fortune of working with the front line workers in this industry, both the teamsters and the janitors, responsible for dealing with the waste. a decade ago, i know we are going to call up director rafael from the department of the environment. over a decade ago we started this conversation about mandatory recycling and composting. if many of you in the public remember, we went from one black bin, to then two and then three, where the green and the blue bin was created, and became part of our daily routine for some people. some people ignored it for a long time, and some people still do. but in general, san francisco began to change its culture, and began to be on the cutting edge of what it meant to be environment

. >> supervisor breed: supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i requested that the item be continued.will say that i reluctantly am supportive of this going forward. i do still have a significant problem with a 12% admin fee. the vast, vast majority of people that end up in this program and are before us are ultimately people that are on fixed income. they're elderly and/or very, very indigent and don't have the resources to pay this. we definitely need to prioritize sidewalk repair and safety. at the end of the day, we need to consider that the people that are benefiting from this also are being asked to pay for this are people on very limited income. so i will support moving this forward today, but do want to see some significant reform in the admin fee. so we'll dive in on this issue and come back at a later date. >> supervisor breed: thank you, supervisor safai. seeing no other names -- >> i apologize. public works has made additional amendments since this item was heard on may 1. i see there are 22 additional properties that were removed from the list as of 5/22/2018. >> supervis

sheehy, supervisor ronen, and supervisor safai. karen roy, director for the department of child support services and also a member of the san francisco family violence council. we have been a member, a founding member, founding department and i just wanted to support the work of this council, and quickly give you an example of what we have experienced in the department in terms of system p. the child support program is required to close -- close child support cases where family violence is an issue. started to see a growing number of families, parents, suffering family violence wanting child support, needing child support so brought the issue before the council aehe zing. they helped us build out training that we then implemented. we have been able to collect over -- >> thank you. so, thank you, thank you. and again, thank you for the excellent presentation. excuse me, i need to close -- any one else who wouldik speak at public comment? public comment is closed. again, thank you for the presentation. any other comments from members

supervisor safai. >> thank you, madam chair. i appreciate everyone's comments today, those that kept it within the bounds of kind of focusing on advancing a positive conversation. i think, again, this is not an easy conversation to have. in my short time on the board, this is probably the most difficult issue that i have been involved in. i appreciate, again, supervisor fewer and peskin for engaging in this as well as the city staff along with president breed over the last number of months. i do have a few follow-up questions because i think that base on what i have learned in these conversations over the last few months, i have heard some things that i don't find to be -- things that i find to be true as well as i think it's not helpful for our conversation to put things forward that i don't think are really factual. one of the things i want to ask directly to our city administrator is: from where we were in our conversations the other day, there's this conversation of l.b.e. discount or a 10% discount, how that kind of plays i

supervisor yee, supervisor is a -- safai. thank you for hav me come in to discuss my potential qualifications for the title of board of directors. i know you have a copy of my resume. what i wanted to talk to you a little bit more was about me. i started my career at a very young age, in my early 20s with two young children and the need to provide for them. those first years were quite a struggle, both with long hours, long work weeks, shortage of money, and apartments i would soon like to forget. i have always had inside of me the need for success, the driver to never quit, and along with that, i endeaed to grasp the core competencies that i would need for home building business, land development, working with government agencies as well as all the entitlement processes. but what my resume doesn't say is that also along the way, i never forgot that struggling family. i worked -- whether it was within my office or within that community to always feel the need to bring people forward. through my work on various boards such as

supervisor safai? >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam clerk. today i just have one in memoriam. i would like to end in memoriam of patty delaligue. she was a long time employee of the sfmta. she moved to the bay area as an undergraduate at stanford and studied engineering. she was the type of person that really didn't sit on the sideline and was active in many ways in the community. she was a faithful attendee of saint aiden's episcopal in diamond heights. she served on the excelsior improvement district for several years and in our district we just celebrated our 60th anniversary of that association and much of the work and reinvigoration of that association was under her leadership and the work she did with many of the other leaders of that community. she created the excelsior book club and was very fond of many authors, particularly around the french revolution. but, you know, many people in our neighborhood will be missed as they pass away. but patty was one in particular that touched our hearts. she was a really, really sweet person. she loved working with the sfmta, as i s

supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i wanted to add my name as a sponsor. >> supervisor breed: thank you. colleagues on item 8 and 9, can we take that same house, same call? without objection, those resolutions are adopted unanimously. and on the amendment for item 10 to make amendments and to send it to the board next week as a committee of the whole, can we take that without objection? without objection, the amendment passes. and the ordinance as amendment -- we can't take that. so we're going to hear this next week as a committee of the whole at the board of supervisors. thank you, supervisor peskin, for making the amendments to find the findings and more outreach in the neighboring areas that will be impacted. with that, madam clerk, let's go to item 11. >> clerk: item 11 is an ord ordinanorde ordinance to amonday mend the planning code concerning new production and repair, known as p.d.r., to confirm the ceqa determination and appropriate findings. >> supervisor breed: colleagues, we can take item 11 same house, same call? without objection, ordinance passes unanimously on the f
