we will be able to provide four-time jobs, 40 hours a week to residents in sanfrancisco, which would eventually become taxpayers in san francisco. so it's a win-win for the whole city and county, especially for bayview hunter's point. >> reverend walker. >> honorable commissioners, i was looking at the screen up there and saw a name up there i arilius walker and then i look add the document that talked about the property and i saw the name in there. i came today to speak to you in reference to -- i lived in san francisco for 60 some odd years. i'm 88 area 88 88 area 88 years. i live at gillman avenue for 50 years didn't retired. the lord let me know i've done my job and i semiretired a ceo of the corporation and senior pastor, but they gave me another title, a mayo meretus pastor. i supported 100%. were build 504 housing units right by the church and i built out about 20 and new brand church buildings from the ground and my grandfather came hear to work in the shipyard, cleveland walker and he was very successful. what i mean by that, he saved the money, made the ship yard anyard.we

for now, 20 years and i also happen to serve on the sanfrancisco rent board . thank you for passing supervisor brown's measure moments ago and i would like to give a bit of context following supervisor's fuer and brown in their comments about this. this all relates to a grandfathering clause that was placed into the original legislation. this clause was inserted due to the idea there might be small property owners barely getting by and had reasonably relied on the funds or they wouldn't have made their purchase. during these four months, this window of four months between december of 2017 and pul april f 2018 when the public outcry began, it was abundantly clear that these pass-throughs were considered inappropriate by the general public, that legislation to stop them was on its way and the overall san francisco community opposed them. and opposed the idea of large corporate lane lands. due to large landlord lobbyists, the four-month clause was inserted. the rent board of which i was not a member conducted public hearings on the legislation. during those discus

i'm from the sanfrancisco heritage. san francisco heritage is dedicated to preservation of the city's architectural legacy but also to sites that have important connections to the diverse cultures, subcultures, emergent social history and political movements that make san francisco singular and extraordinary. in 1830 sut ter, you have most of the character defined features in tact. but a building which is locally significant to japanese and american ethnic heritage. you have the african-american civil rights and lgbtq right's movements. this is a site well detailed prepared by donna graves and the planning department and we strongly recommend a resolution to support the nomination to the national register of historic places. and i would like to add, you know, with redevelopment that had gone through the area after world war ii, this is a pretty singular building with japanese style that represents the japanese community that was there before internment removed it. this is another thing to consider. thank you. >> closing

sanfrancisco is a department -- sorry, sfpuc is a department of the city and county of san francisco. we operate a water utility waste and stormwater utility and it operates two retail electric service. it's hechhe power is a public utility serves city functions and new developments. city functions are like the muni system, the general hospital, the airport, fire and police stations, public schools. some examples are the shipyard, mission rock, treasure island and clean power sf is a community choice program that serves electric supply only to businesses and residents here in san francisco. together, these two programs were serving 80 also of the electricity consumed in san francisco. and that makes san francisco the primary supplier of electricity in san francisco. pg & e provides the grid services, and that's depicted hear. here. the city has paid for both programs and that's $300 million a year if distribution fees by and over time, san francisco has been reducing the energy dependency but in that grid, that reliance, we do encounter difficulties. these difficulties increase the co

we are looking forward to bringing sustainable options to all of sanfrancisco. >> good afternoon. i'm a senior policy council with spin. as you know from the end of my last job, the most important part of what i do is connected to our workers. i'm sure you can imagine that for our most vulnerable san a job for dependents, with the protection of san francisco and california employment laws and an employer who will protect your rights to organize and join the labor union. spin is that employer and three weeks ago when we learned tha to operate that, we did notes he taut. not hesitate. it's with the office and economic workforce development, we've engaged 1100 mission operations. we have given people hope but we can only launch with 500 today. this cuts hiring needs by half. what do i say to the people we've hired and to our upcoming job fares and how will i take that hope away? reverse the decision. we don't use staffing agencies or 1099 gig workers. next speaker, please. >> danielle belitos and john santos. >> i jusi'm a minority owner ana small business, doing business with city o

40 philippino men who immigrated from the philippines from 28-62 employed in domestic work in sanfrancisco. the organization began purchasing property in south park, first with the building across the street in august of 1947 and then early 1948, it purchased the subject project and then again later that year, it purchased the third building across the street where it constructed a temple in 1951. while the new temple building expanded, the residential building at 104-106 remains in the organization.

please do not allow sanfrancisco residents to be lab rats for fatter calls, messages and internet. please represent us, your residents and push for real extensive research that definitively proves 5g is safe for all of us. thank you. >> thank you. network speaker. next speaker. >> i have been asked by supervisor that if you don't need to speak, there are a lot of people -- we're all tired and have been here a long time. >> excuse me. i was going to have everybody raise their hand if they're here for supporting local control, not telecom, so you can see the people who are here and if you don't need to speak, then don't. >> gotcha, thank you. >> miss sobey, i can multitask, go ahead. >> i'm here about the 5g didn't i think if you would listen to me because you've been on your cell phone the most. so just to let you know and i appreciate the lady behind you and her attention. so this is the book you might want to look at, it's 5g, awareness and accountability and i'll read something that robert f kennedy said. he went to visit a person who was an environmentalist leader and the leader

sell the home i have lived in for over seven years, i do not know if i can continue to teach in sanfrancisco. i look up apartments and the rates are too expensive. before going to glenn park, i attended kindergarten and first grade at the discovery center school which was at 65 ocean. how ironing the place i learned to play hopscotch and all of the other childhood favourite games will become a symbol of my own displacement. i urge you to listen to the community and build the housing for the community and not at the cost of it. thank you, digitally signed amelia pierce of balboa high school and this is one of the examples of why we don't discard the people who sign these pledge cards in the district because they work here and they invest here and can't afford to live here. so we urge you to make this way more affordable to the communities and accessible to which it will be built. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, distinguished members. one of the residents of the district 11 and i'm here because i sneak out of my job because this is really important for me. i've been here

people who are here and around in sanfrancisco when the epidemic first hit experienced a lot of trauma and lost a lot of their social support networks and to this day, they have a lot of really complex pyschosocial needs, including access to mental health services. they fought for future generations to be able to survive. and now, it's our turn to fight and to support them. we can't get to zero unless we address this crisis. part of that is acknowledging there are dozens people who die every year by suicide and that's unacceptable. i wanted to talk briefly about people who use drugs and how they deserve nonjudgmental services. many experience a lot of trauma on the street and oftentimes use substances to survive. every year we see hundreds of folks who die from overdose. it's in our state, city in psychiatry wandwe have to addre. with harm reduction services, they respect dignity and i'm super excited and in full support of mental health to support universal access to mental health services and also substance use services, right? we need more of both of these and they have to be harm-r

we mentioned about the he high turn-over, vicarious trauma, the low cost of living in sanfrancisco. when we last looked at it, 90% of staff in our agency lives outside of the city. and it's really difficult to address that. when it is, our direct services is paying $21, which is $6 above minimum wage but it's not enough. that's a $45,000 a year job and it doesn't compute at this point in time. so it is something we are running into, is the staffing issue. and i think the other part that's related to the staffing issue and it goes in with the whole drug medical, is when we opted in for the drug medical, we are changing our assessment systems. you're familiar with the american sit o society of addicn medicine? previously we're using different assessment tools to establish medical necessity. drug medical says you're using this asam theory and model and this requires training of how to redo this and rethink an assessment. part of this process is an authorization that needs to be required every 30 days by a licensed professional heeling arts, a license thed clinician. we would have to hi

more than 72,000 san francisco people are now living in retrofitted buildings in sanfrancisco and about 111,000 will be at the program's completion in 2020. so quite an achievement for the city and for all of our other cities around america to take note. we are making progress but we cannot rest on our preparations today. we have to stay vigilant and have to have family plans ready, as well as go-bags so enable us to manage our own for at least 72 hours from the big one. related to our seismic safety efforts, the international code council, icc, will hold a followup seismic roundtable during the annual conference in las vegas next week, october 23rd, and discuss the development of nationally approaches to seismic functional recovery for new construction. also on october 23rd, dbi are -- let me repeat that, dbi and planning staff will meet with a delegation from japan visiting san francisco to learn about building code and planning requirementrequirements. such a mutual sharing of best practises helps all to contribute to more effective engineering and overall building safety procedures.
