supervisor stefani? >> supervisor c. stefani: thank you, supervisor peskin. i want to echo my colleagues gratitude for the process and the budget and finance committee. supervisor fewer, yee and sheehy and to president cohen. it was an amazingly-smooth process. and also, i have to say, it was fun at times. because president cohen is not dry when it comes to budget and finance. one would think numbers could be, but not when chair cohen is leading us through budget and finance. so i want to really thank you for the process. it was truly remarkable how smooth it went. i was a legislative aide for three years so i especially want to call out the legislative aide who helped us through because we can't do it without them and call out the public safety investments and through the add-back process, the domestic violence consortium. i think we did a lot for women in this budget and i was very proud to co-sponsor with president ronen the s.h.a.r.p. office and i want to call out the survivors who came out to tell us the stories. we wouldn't have that investment if we ha

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yes. i move to accept the amendments that were read and then continue this to the next land use committee hearing. >> supervisor tang: amendments first. we can do that without objection. and underlying item as amended continue one week. without objection. all right. thank you. madam clerk, item 5, please. >> clerk: ordinance amending the planning code to correctorors in enacted legislation, updated out dated legislation and reorganization of articles 7 and 2 and approve appropriate findings. >> supervisor tang: thank you. we have david brosky, planning department. >> it improves errors and the code itself. it completes article 2 and 7, as well as overlooked items. the majority of the amendments are not considered substantive, with a few exceptions. 145.4 would allow an exception to ground floor. the code is silent on it, but has provisions for other zoning in the code. the second is from the cannabis ordinance, which removed applicable requirements. the change is consistent with the intent

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yes.i'd like to approve supervisor yee's nomination for dense i say richard for a four-year term ending july 31, 2022, and approve supervisor fewer's nomination for kathrin moore for a four term ending july 31, 2022. >> supervisor safai: can we do that without objection? without objection, that matter is sent to the full board of supervisors. please call item three -- oh, maybe we can do three and four together. >> clerk: just to clarify, item one and two have been amended to approve the appointment, and those are forwarded to the full task force with recommendation. item number three is it a motion approving, rejecting the mayor's nomination of the appointment of rodney fong to the planning department for a term ending july 31, 2022, item four is a motion approving, rejecting the mayor's nomination of the appointment of milicent johnson to the planning department for a term ending july 31, 2022. >> supervisor safai: commissioner fong, please come forward. >> president fong: good afternoon

oh, i'm sorry, supervisor stefani, please. >> supervisor stefani: i wanted to thank supervisor ronen again for her leadership on this and the amazing staff and for all of the survivors who have come out to share their stories and i have been so moved by that. i have met with many and i thank them for taking time to meet with me as well and i'm very happy to support this legislation and to see it go forward. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer any remarks? all right, thank you. so, again, i make a motion to approve this legislation and send it to the full board with a positive recommendation (please stand by)

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: just so i'm clear, you're saying you would absorb the salary so there's no increase? >> yes. >> supervisor stefani: that's what we did yesterday with the parks and recreation budget. >> supervisor cohen: okay. supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: in every instance that we talked about, i'm aware of the incumbent. they've all been doing spectacular work, so i'm wondering if the root of the problem may be in that department or that agency where there seems to be a lot of flexibility and fluidity on how people are hired, at what point, and -- 'cause i -- i really feel very uncomfortable about taking people who have been doing work and doing it well and kind of pen jammizing them over what seems like a current pattern of very, very bad process. directly was disrespectful of our board action as you noted yesterday. in one of the cases, we were very specific, but i wonder if there's a larger, more systemic problem in how these things are happening. because i think

>> supervisor stefani: aye. >> clerk: stefani, i didn't. supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: aye. >> clerk: sheehy, aye. supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: no. >> clerk: fewer, no. supervisor cohen? >> supervisor cohen: aye. >> clerk: cohen, aye. the motion passes. >> supervisor cohen: all right. chief, you're done. thank you for your time. i'd like to call up kelly kirkpatrick to discuss technical amendments. >> thank you for your patience. i had to get all the papers together. the clerk should be bringing them over to you. i have included three rounds of technical adjustments. round one is what you had heard on monday? all the technical cleanups about balancing overhead entries, correcting work orders, accurately reflecting grant amounts, and it includes the detail which i submitted to you all via e-mail over monday, but i wanted you to have that full package to accept. round two of which there's a letter as well as excel sheet is attached are actualizing the rebalancing plans for homeless and mohcd, so it was removing all items related to proposit

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yes, and this is for the controller so i feel comfortable about the audit, what are you looking for? i'd just like it on the record to be sure that we're not politicizing this, that it's a normal audit that you would conduct in the normal course of business. >> that's correct, supervisor. the chair's requested we conduct a review of this function. the scope of that would be to review actual spending in prior appropriations and as the d.a. indicates, some workload analysis of how the workload of this unit compares to the rest of the district attorney's office and other departments engaged in similar work. so that's the scope in mind. i've indicated to the chair that we could likely complete the report by the end of september. we have not had a meeting with the district attorney to set our final scope, but that's how we're envisioning the final timeline looking. >> supervisor yee: okay. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor yee? >> supervisor yee: so just given that the

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, president breed. i, too, am supportive of the continuance and streamlining and making sure the process isn't abused so people aren't in long protracted battles that prevents them from adding onto their homes like we saw in the land use committee. almost every single neighborhood association in my district has questions about the ordinance and would like to weigh in on it. i was saying earlier today there's that saying if you aren't at the table you are on the menu and they feel they have been left out of the conversation. i feel this continuance would help us restore trust in this planning process. meaningful community input, i agree there's obviously merit to these ideas, there's plenty to agree on here but i think all stakeholders need to be involved and i will be supporting the continuance. thank you. >> president breed: okay, seeing no other names on the roster, on the motion to continue the item, colleagues could we take that same house, same call? without objection, this item will be continued t

>> supervisor stefani: i do. first, i want to thank commissioner moore and commissioner richards for their service. i know there's a lot of hours on the planning commission. also, i just wanted to let you both know that i heard from many of my constituents, and you have many fans. so -- and i also went to the home of one of my constituents who is here today and to discuss commissioner moore's qualifications and their desire to see her reappointed, and it was a great meeting with my n constituents. and it was a great meeting, and i do thank them for having them in my home. i did have ha meeting with commissioner richards th-- moo, and i look forward to the opportunity of sitting down with commissioner richards. i like the opportunity of sitting down with both sides. it's something i value and try to do in my jobs, as well. supervisor yee touched on a lot of questions i have. obviously, we see the pull of wanting to build more housing because we are in a housing crisis, and the complaints that are driven by neighbo

supervisor stefani. >> supervisor a. safai: [chuckles] i don't think i have anything else to talk about today. >> clerk: supervisor stefani? supervisor yee? > supervisor n. yee: submit. >> clerk: thank you. supervisor brown. >> submit. >> clerk: thank you. president cohen? >> president m. cohen: thank you. i have two inmemoriams. a long time san francisco son passed away. james real gomez, executive director of the san mateo county labor council. and i would like to read inmemoriam for mr. frederick robert gomez, also known as "fast freddie". he was given this name because he was often found racing on alameda highway on one of his hot rods or harleys as a teenager. he survived by his wife of 54 years, mrs. diane gomez. his children, grandchildren, host of many nieces and nephews. mr. frederick gomez passed away peacefully surrounded by his family. he is dearly missed by all of his friends and family. and colleagues the reason i'm bringing forward this at this time because i think it's important to recognize not only the

>> supervisor stefani: i do. first, i want to thank commissioner moore and commissioner richards for their service. i know there's a lot of hours on the planning commission. also, i just wanted to let you both know that i heard from many of my constituents, and you have many fans. so -- and i also went to the home of one of my constituents who is here today and to discuss commissioner moore's

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: yeah. just want to add, very supportive of commissioner fong who i've known a very long time, and commissioner johnson, who i've met recently and very impressed with both of this records. there's something that cory smith said that struck me, that i thought was good when he said that because someone's xyz, and he's xyz, that person is the best to represent somebody, and it got me thinking that just because someone is an xyz doesn't mean they weren't once before. so i think it's really important for us to all understand that commissioner richards said that it's really important to work with both sides. if you're not xyz, you need to reach over the aisle and understand xyz. the highest level of empathy requires profound purpose larger that the self-kind of understanding. so i am thinking, when he said that, it just struck me that it's really important to be able to identify with people, but that -- if you -- you have to be able to understand people that are different than yourself, and i hope

. >> supervisor stefani: i did sit through the first hearing on this and was very saddened at what i heard, and i just want to again thank everyone who came out. i know this is extremely difficult and i agree with supervisor ronen it is her her c and you empower other women to come out and feel they are not alone. as other people were sharing their stories with us, i started my career as a prosecutor because i wanted justice for victims and protect people from crime and it does break my heart how the criminal justice has failed all of you who testified and this blaming the victim in 2018 is just unacceptable. it is never your fault. if you are drinking and someone says you are drunk and that is what just happens it's never your fault. there is no excuse for being assaulted. i was thinking you really helped shine light on this issue and now we know it's out there. there is that one quote by my anglo, when you know better, do better. i have to tell you it is my intention to make sure that we dual better, so i am happy to co-sponsor and work on this issue and see that it moves forward.

supervisor stefani has one for you. >> supervisor stefani: yes. if you could just expand on what supervisor yee just said in terms of why it wasn't in the mayor's budget. it sounds like that request was made. >> on 18-19, there's the 15 that everybody is on board with, right? and then, there's the 700,000 that is in the mayor's proposed budget which gets to six new vehicles. you know, we do have a limited equipment budget, and we try our best to allocate to the extent we can, and so we were able to fund 21 in the mayor's budget, and so i believe we support the fire department's need for these vehicle replacements and the critical needs they've identified. >> supervisor cohen: do you have a question? supervisor yee -- i'm sorry, just give me a second. b.l.a., is there anything else you need -- any other remarks, still? okay. supervisor yee, can you make a motion, please? >> supervisor yee: i'd like to make a motion -- actually, i don't even know what the motion is. >> supervisor cohen: i'll go ahead and make it, if you don't mind -- oh, ben? >> if

supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, supervisor cohen. i just want to be clear, i don't support any cuts whatsoever to the pretrial diversion program, and in fact i support increasing it to the 1.7 that's requested, and here's why. if we are serious about what we want to do in the pretrial supervision program which is to rehabilitate people so they don't continue to enter the criminal justice system, we need to do our job, and do our job well. it is about helping people get their lives back on track, so if we're serious about that, we need to invest in it. my office has been following cases in court where people in my district have been injured, and so many times, what i hear back is how is this person allowed to be on the street? you saw the video of the person who kicked the homeless man in the face, and you see the assaults and his record, and the offenses that he has made against others, and you ask how is this person allowed to be on the street? so if this person is going to be surprised by pretrial diversion, i want to make sure we

oh, i'm sorry, supervisor stefani, please. >> supervisor stefani: i wanted to thank supervisor ronen again for her leadership on this and the amazing staff and for all of the survivors who have come out to share their stories and i have been so moved by that. i have met with many and i thank them for taking time to meet with me as well and i'm very happy to support this legislation and to see it go forward. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor fewer any remarks? all right, thank you. so, again, i make a motion to approve this legislation and send it to the full board with a positive recommendation (please stand by) -- to point out that the amendments that you aadopted last week actually were in some part aimed at accommodating the concerns from the p.v.t.s and that is why the new category for receipts above $50 million was included. >> supervisor cohen: all right, thank you. and public comment. i have two cards, first nima rahira and then kristen shoe macker and any other members would like to come, please step up. >> i'm here to ask you to please and respectfully to exclude pr
