now amending the san francisco ordinance to comply with state law is only a first step. but the city attorney's position on ordinance 95-17 unfortunately bars the way to taking this first steptoe ward an effective a.d.u. ordinance and manual. as a lawyer, i would hope that this problem could be resolved by amicable discussion and the city attorney will participate actively in drafting an ordinance or manual complying with this very beneficial state law. >> hi. good afternoon. i'm dylan casey, california renters advocacy and education fund. i think this proposed ordinance takes a lot of steps in the right direction. i want to talk to highlight three points where i think that san francisco's still falling short of the required state standards for a.d.u.s. first, san francisco's required to allow one accessory dwelling unit in proposed single-family home. this change went into effect in 2017 at the state level. so my understanding is that this will be amended, the san francisco ordinance will be amended, to prohibit a.d.u.s in new construction. and i'm asking that that not h

sadly, san francisco failed to comply with state law. ordinance 95-17 announced the purpose of complying the state law. but, in fact, made no meaningful concession to the law. the a.d.u. manual was not revised. i must call your attention to the fact that the city attorney put its stamp of approval on ordinance 95-17. i have sent to you a memo by way of an email before this meeting showing that the ordinance is, in fact, widely in conflict with state law.

sometimes tenants fight, but with the san francisco rent ordinance silent on rent increases that hide intent to evict, more often tenants anticipate defeat, getting worn down, and leave. as my colleagues know, most san francisco renters are covered by rent control, but single-family homes and condos are exempted. it does not take away our right to regulate evictions. this means that for evictions, we have local control to set waiting periods for seniors, pep with disabilities, families with children and school workers and we require that landlords make relocation payments to displaced tenants. where the loophole comes into play is when a landlord decides to circumvent the rules and use a raise of rent as rent control. we see landlords removing an in-law unit to claim it was single-family or giving a renter notice that they're planning to sell or move in. the stories i've heard are heartbreaking and infuriating. linda cutner, sunshine the clown, is fighting to stay in her home in mission terrace. after 13 years of tenancy, the landlord's children removed the fridge and stove from the i

san francisco families. thank you for the unanimous vote last year on the ordinance to end the sale of flavored tobacco products in san francisco, including menthol. thank you particularly, supervisor malia cohen, for championing this cause. i'm thrilled that the people of san francisco agree with you and passed proposition e by overwhelming margin on june 5. you have taken a stand keeping the tobacco industry away from the children of san francisco. i'm a mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. we look forward to a strong implementation at this ordinance. the country is watching. we look forward to seeing the rates of youth tobacco use continue to plummet after this ordinance takes effect. this policy will start saving lives as soon as the implementation begins. let's get to work. thank you so very much. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm a long time bay area resident who an immigrant parent. i'm here to echo some of the ideas wroe avenue heard today and demand that the board of supervisors pass a resolution to end the contract with i.c.e. we're

the project also complies with san francisco post as a noise ordinance, which this board has passed that incorporates a number of construction mitigation measures. it needs to comply with san francisco's dust control ordinance and comply with the host of regulations related to greenhouse gas emissions. shifting gears and talking a little bit about the eastern neighborhoods plan, you heard a new -- a number of arguments related to the plant itself. these arguments are not new. most, if not all are included in the appeal filed against many mixed income housing projects in the mission. only a few of those appeals have made it to this board, because no settle. appellant's claim about the easter neighborhood eir are very similar to arguments that were raised by... which this board heard and rejected last year. just run through some basics on that project, that was a nine story density bonus project with 94 dwelling units which is one story taller and almost 20 more units than this project. it is located in the same zoning district as this one. like the appellant here, that project's appellant

in the city of san francisco for the past six years. the proposed ordinance would be prohibitive to end l.b.e. ' ability to participate in public works projects in san francisco. most of these businesses cannot be sustained, especially in the early years solely by public works projects. and what this ordinance does is it would force their hand to participate or become a signatory to unions which they may not be in a financial position to do yet. and so, i believe that l.b.e.'s should be made exempt from the city wide p.l.a. ordinance so they businesses have an opportunity to be nurtured and grow and consistently with what the city of san francisco has always believed in, and purported. >> thank you.

i'm here to talk about the recycled water ordinance and how things have evolved relative to recycled water in san francisco and elsewhere. the recycled water ordinance has been in effect since is 991, it's amicable to new and remodelled -- applicable to knew and remodelled buildings and has designated recycled use areas where required installation of dual plumbing areas exist. those are the areas in purple noted there on the screen. this is driven in part by geographical differences. the west side has large parks and golf courses, and the east side has newer and more dense urban developments and more opportunity for indoor, n nonpotab nonpotable uses. we would come up with a centralized water recycle facilities to produce recycled water for these nonpotable purposes. on the west side of san francisco, we're making progress in irrigating our parks and golf courses, such as sharp park, actually in pacifica in partnership with the north coast county water district. we are delivering recycled water to the sharp park golf course, which is owned by the city of san francisco and hence is a customer of ours. we ar

the study by the san francisco department of public health office of policy and planning, called san francisco's health care accountability ordinance and health care landscape reported that the california average copayment to visit a primary care doctor is $25. it was strongly felt there should be further efforts to find ways to reduce the cost to low wage workers. there were questions raised about whether the city was providing funding to nonprofit service contractors for increased costs of health care coverage required by the health care accountability ordinance. there is language in the acao for those increased costs to be considered. in the ordinance, it states when preparing proposed budgets and requests for supplemental appropriations for contract services, city departments that regularly enter into agreements for the provision of services by nonprofit corporations shall transmit with their proposal a written confirmation that the department has considered in its calculation the cost that the nonprofit corporation's calculate, that they will concur in complying with the acao. the san francisco living wage coalition made a pub
