one board is loaning money to the other board. it seems to me we need some recusal on this thing. it's just nonsense the way this thing is working. who are the losers? the losers are the people who ride the train to the fourth street and get off and have to walk downtown or take the bus. it has been going on for 50 years. i believe the d.t.x. is losing some of its mojo. we all know what momentum means. we will see that in the super bowl coming up. you supervisors, you board of director members need to increase that mojo, at the excitement to the d.t.x. so we get the funding to get it going. we have already lost six months. i want to save this half of the calendar. please. let's get the d.t.x. up and going. thank you. >> that concludes members of the public that wanted to comment under that item. >> that concludes our agenda for today. meeting is adjourned and we will see everybody in february. >> thank you very much. >> thank you, everyone. >> this the february 12, rescheduled meeting of the budget committee. i'd like to thank mr. cooley and miss mendoza for broadcasting this meeti

you needed a full complement of the board to hear this thing. u didn't have it, but i've already said why this doesn't qualify. let's see why the city says it doesn't qualify. if we go to -- let's try page 2077 of your packet, it says here that the city's going to do this pilot because even though there won't be any significant accumulative impacts on all these other streets, it needs to determine whether there'll be cumulative impacts on these streets -- that, and the data counting of the cars after there aren't any cars on the street. like i said, i'll take $3.50 for that. you'll save yourself that $350,000. this isn't a categorically exempt project, this is a permanent project as we've shown in our briefs by the city's own statements. the city has said we intend this to be a permanent project. we're just covering our backsides with this pilot thing so we can pretend nothing's wrong here. when you close a public street to the public, something's very wrong, first of all, to send constitutional on its face, but we can't go there today because th

and landlords have been very open about not filing these things with the rent board. almost to the point of bragging about it. and if we are going to actually make this ordinance enforceable, then we have to prohibit or invalidate any waiver of rights that a tenant will have in a buyout agreement if a landlord doesn't file with the rent board. that's the only way to put some sting into it and to allow tenants to file with the rent board. and that's the only way that this city is going to get on any kind of profile of what -- >> thank you, scott. next speaker, please. >> hi. from the san francisco tenants union. thank you, supervisors. and thank you so much hillary ronen for putting this legislation together. every month in our coalition, the antidisplacement coalition, we review the biggest threats to tenants in the city. and almost without fail, buyouts makes the top of the list every

this is the board of equalizati equalization. it's just to make sure we're standardized across the state. here locally, we generate $3.3 billion in property tax revenue for our city on an annual basis. as the assessor mentioned, this goes towards local services and public education. our property tax revenue is the single largest source of funding every year. just to reiterate, we have three core functions on what the office does. we are the assessor so the vast majority of the staff value property for each year's property taxes. we're also the recorder for our county, which means we are the official record keeper for san francisco county. we record over 400 different document types and we do hundreds of thousands of these per year. finally, the function that everyone is interested in today, we grant exemptions. so as we mentioned, we have a small but mighty team that does this work each year. last year, they did the work to grant 16 billi$16 billion in ee and they go towards non-profits, churches, schools, veterans, and many overs

as you're aware, the board of supervisors gives the board the power of subpoena which was seldom used but was used a couple of times in the millennium tower to subpoena a couple of individuals. it is a lengthy and cumbersome process where the testimony doesn't happen in real-time. by the time you send the subpoena to the full board, four to six weeks have gone by. a change to the board rules requires an eight-vote super majority, and we fell short by one vote. i felt at this time insofar as the board has the limited power of inquiry and inquiring minds want to know -- of course not to interfere or impede with ongoing civil or criminal investigations, i thought it was time to bring this board back. i know the clerk of this board has some comments or changes. i had a productive conversation with the board's attorney, miss pearson, yesterday, as it related to the administration of oaths in section 3.1, which i would like to actually collapse into -- and i do not have language before you, but i'd like to collapse that 3.2.1, administration of oaths into 3.3.2 so that anybody that's subpoe

i've served a couple of terms on the graffiti advisory board. i work for recology. i'm a san francisco homeowner. i have two children in the san francisco public schools, and i am a former public educator. i see the graffiti advisory board as an opportunity for me to give back to my adopted city. i came from chicago, and one thing that i really feel strongly about is, you know, helping san francisco be a clean, liveable, and blight-free city. so serving on the board is something that i can do to give back to the city and be a model to my kids. >> chair ronen: can you just tell us about any accomplishments that you feel that the board has made over the couple of years that you've been on it? >> sure. working with then supervisor now mayor breed on the graffiti penalties. i serve on the law enforcement advisory subcommittee, and working with the district attorney's office on the one main graffiti task force with sfpd, i think we've made good strides at getting graffiti vandals off the streets and hopefully not doing what they did anymore. if you look at the hibernia ba

navigation center that passed the board yesterday. that project and this project at 33 gough will allow us to meet the city's goals and the mayor's initiative of 1,000 new beds opening by 2020, which will allow us to increase capacity -- [inaudible] >> -- as all of our programs are predominantly run by our nonprofit providers. this will really operate as an outreach triage center a little bit differently than our other navigation centers. like all our navigation centers, it would offer 24-7 access to clients, but no referrals, only by referral, no walk-ins. we always have a good neighbor policy, but we are learning through the navigation centers we've done recently, the t.a.n. navigation center and this new site how to really refine our good neighbor policy and some of our outreach protocols so that there's a lot of community support for this new project. >> chair fewer: miss whitley, so supervisor mandelman and myself, my office, have been briefed on this item, too. >> okay. >> chair fewer: so i think what we would like to hear also,

yesterday has released absolutely damning video of the conditions on board the ship which he says are chaotic i'm scary and he is not surprised that very many people have fallen sick yes i mean we have been hearing many reports of utter chaos on board and there are still hundreds of people on the spot what is happening to them. well that they're being released as as you said the people who the foreigners are being taken back to places like the united states and canada being given another 14 days koren see because those governments don't believe that the corn seen on board the ship works the japanese patients who test negative for the virus are being allowed to leave their being and they're being allowed to board public transport with something new and go home so japan doesn't really want to admit that quarantine failed even when other governments basically have. made that decision that the quarantine was not effective and people were still being affected on infected on board the ship it was a difficult decision but you panned because they didn't have the cities for 3600 people on day
