walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you. i do know mr. bellar. he's a resident in my district, and he's been who's been actively involved in the past year in trying to do more in the community and do more for the public good, and he is someone who i think will step up and does have the qualifications, so i will be supporting -- well, i do have a -- a motion to make that includes his name. >> chair ronen: make that motion? >> supervisor walton: sure. so -- and i am -- i move that -- as we look at assessment appeals board one, that we move forward with a positive recommendation mr. spertzel for seat two, mr. campana for seat five, miss nelson for vacant seat six, and mr. bellar for vacant seat eight. >> chair ronen: without objection, that motion passes. [gavel]. >> chair ronen: do you want to keep going, mr. walton? >> supervisor walton: so for assessment appeals board two, i'd like to make a motion that we move forward with a positive recommendation for the -- miss mendoza for seat one, mr. h

walton. is -- would you be open to amending the legislation to require -- i mean, if your department had your -- [inaudible] >> yeah, absolutely. >> chair ronen: and given the type of disturbing statistics that we've seen between native american and african american workers and others in our city, it seems it should be taken very seriously with the in-person course. you just never know. it's so easy to get distracted when you're taking an on-line course in that your full attention isn't there in the room, so i'm wondering if maybe susan wants to talk about this. i didn't have a chance to talk with the sponsor of the legislation before, but my gut is this should be taken extremely seriously. >> yeah. i think we could have a few conversations with d.h.r. also probably amend the dates to open up more time i think if we're going to require a two-day training? i don't think 60 days is y enough, but i'm open to requiring continuing conversations on it. >> supervisor walton: i definitely think as we

commissioner walton? >> thank you. >> chair peskin: is your mic on? >> there you go. sorry about that. if i recall during the super bowl that we were dealing with businesses that were displaced, and your office was able to come up with a way to mitigate the pain and negative consequences for those businesses during that time period, so i'm wondering if there isn't a bigger strategy we can work onto provide mitigation opportunities for businesses during construction so we don't have to live with the funky vannesses, etc. or if you want to, you can give all the resources from prop k to the southeast sector of san francisco and we'll figure out a way to mitigation everything. but in all seriousness, you had a plan that did compensate businesses, and i'm wondering if that's something to build off of for the future. >> chair peskin: thank you, commissioner walton. so there are two instances that i know of. one was the short-term displacement of folks who had city permits in and around the super bowl, and those were street a

walton. i'm wondering if you could answer the first question about why navigation shelters aren't included under the provision of the shelter monitoring committee. >> sure. good morning. i'm scott walton. when navigation centers first launched about 3.5 years ago, they were viewed as something completely different. as they've evolved and become something nor consistent with the department of homelessness and supportive housing, we do see they fit in. the shelter monitoring committee because of understaffing and also the structure of that committee which also changed this last october which was all the committee members' terms ended at the same time, so there was no overlap. all the committee members exited, some rejoined, but they were changing every two years. with the terms overlapping, they've had the challenge of taking on additional sites to monitor. so that was a challenge that the committee has been facing, and we're hoping this year, they can start monitoring our five current navigati

moved by supervisor walton and seconded by supervisor brown. so with -- without any objections, then, supervisor ronen is excused. [gavel]. >> president yee: madam clerk, can you please call roll call. >> clerk: on item 39 -- [roll call] >> clerk: there are ten ayes. >> president yee: okay. this motion is approved unanimously. [gavel]. >> president yee: madam clerk, next item -- can you please call items 40 and 41 together. >> clerk: items 40 and 41 are two motions. item 40, reappoint supervisor sandra lee fewer to the san francisco local agency formation commission to a term ending february 4, 2023. and item 43, repine supervisor fewer to the brisk transportation board of directors term ending january 31, 2021. >> president yee: okay. can i have a motion to excuse supervisor fewer? supervisor brown, and seconded by supervisor peskin. if there's no objection, then, supervisor brown is excused. [gavel]. >> president yee: madam clerk, please call roll call for items 40 and 41. >> clerk: items 40 and 41 -- [roll call] >> clerk: there are ten ayes.

supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: no questions, but just wanted to comment the issues that we're having across different departments, when we're talking about hiring, discipline, and promotions, and the difficulties that some departments have with people of color. i think this is the right time to be addressing this, and making sure that it's more in depth. it's seriously enough because the reality of it is as we look to the future, we want to make sure we create a climate, to your point, that treats everybody with the same respect and dignity and the leadership is going to be important into making sure that happens. so if this is the time, i would like to move to continue to the call of the chair so we can take the time to talk to supervisor stefani and have some more conversations what we can do to make it a little bit stronger. >> chair ronen: that's fine. oh, and -- >> thank you. we saw this as a starting point and more than happy to have this conversation and talk about this more next week.

supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: i just wanted to be added as a co-sponsor. >> president yee: supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: yeah, i'd like to be added as a co-sponsor, too, and thank supervisor stefani for her leadership on not just this ordinance, but these very important issues. thank you. >> president yee: okay, supervisor stefani, if i hadn't already indicated, i want to be a co-sponsor. i want to be co-sponsor. okay, anybody -- supervisor safai. >> supervisor safai: i'd like to be added as a co-sponsor, as well. >> president yee: supervisor brown, supervisor fewer, supervisor peskin, supervisor mandelman. i guess there's no objection to this. so that's unanimous in terms of everybody being a co-sponsor, so without objection, this ordinance is passed unanimously in first reading. madam clerk, next item, please. >> clerk: item 34 is a resolution to support california state senate bill no. 23 authored by senator scott weiner and co-authored but multiple assembly members including members

>> supervisor walton: thank you so much. i think this is definitely a great step forward and appreciate the intent. i just -- i do have a question just in terms of why the on-line version versus trying to push our department heads and commissioners to take the two day in-person course? >> yeah. i understand that. we view the two-day as a step forward? obviously, when you come on-line as a department head or commissioner, you have a lot of priorities? we would actually encourage everyone to take that two-day course but it's a big lift, so we want to encourage you to take the on-line and then continue to move forward with that. >> chair ronen: i would -- sorry. are you done? i was thinking the same thing as supervisor walton. is -- would you be open to amending the legislation to require -- i mean, if your department had your -- [inaudible] >> yeah, absolutely. >> chair ronen: and given the type of disturbing statistics that we've seen between native american and african american workers and others in our city, it seems it sho

supervisor walton? >> thank you, chair. first, i just want to thank everyone who came out and spoke and i want to thank supervisor stephanie for sponsoring this. and just one thing i don't agree with in terms of your statement that this is not that big of a deal, because it is a big deal for us to set a tone, for other municipalities that we do not support the nra and their efforts to continue to push gun violence and continue to be a part of why we are in the state where we are in this country. as we look at gun shows at the cow palace we're trying to eliminate in our city from happening, that one don't share our values but also, the opportunities for guns and magazines and things that violate our state laws to be sold or near our municipality is very problematic. so i just want to say that i'm 100% in support of this and i want to thank you for stepping up with this. it is very important that we let everywhere know that we don't want our law enforcement to be connected with the nra in no, way, shape form or fashion and ev

thank you commissioner and now supervisor walton. people say that we are school board members, it is because of the amazing work that we were able to do when we work together. congratulations. [applause] >> i want to thank you, supervisor ronen, and supervisor -- i'm going to forget everybody's names, supervisor walton and haney. if it hadn't been for the 25 years of working with a repeat client like san francisco unified school district, i don't think we would be here. i knew how to pull the project together, and i think that devon owes me his firstborn. [laughter] >> i want to also think don, nathan, for their ability to pull things together. part of this, i've had a working relationship with san francisco school district for over 25 years. i've been a business in san francisco for over 25 years, almost a legacy business, and it is my office of commitment to reinvesting community, but there's long-standing relationships that i've had in working in my field, such as my good friend antonio from ruiz construction, and angelo. we have

seated to my right is supervisor shamann walton, and seated to my left is supervisor gordon mar. i'd like to thank the staff at sfgovtv for staffing this meeting, and our clerk, mr. victor young. mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? >> clerk: yes. [agenda item read]. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. can you please call item number one. >> clerk: item number one is a hearing to consider appointing three members, term ending january 1, 2020, and two members, term ending january 1, 2021 to the shelter monitoring committee. we have five seats, six applicants. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. and unless my colleagues have any initial questions or comments, then i would ask if we can hear from our first applicant today, gabriela avalos. and i understand that miss avalos was unable to be here, and has asked gordhoward chin the shelter monitoring committee to read a statement. >> miss gabriela avalos asked me to tell you that she regrets she cannot be here, but she asked that i read this to you. hello. thank you for allowing me to express my interest in becoming part of the shelter mo

supervisor breed and walton. supervisor, the floor is yours as to this major revocable encroachment permit. >> thank you, chair peskin. i don't really have anything to say on the item just want to let the committee and colleagues know we're in favor of this dogpatch community sin favor of this and want to be see how it moves forward in the committee. >> commissioner: thank you. who do we have here from public works that would like to regale this committee with this project? because i have all kinds of fun questions. >> good afternoon, chair. board members. i'm from the bureau of public use and mapping. the improvements are prepared for developer 650 indiana street llc via major encroachment permit wants the purpose of an art focussed plaza including planters and storm water infrastructure, landscaping and lighting and concrete bleachers and they'll get the improvements from the city and the developer will maintain it for the life of the encroachment planning. and we have members here to answer technical questions

. >> supervisor walton: and then having 33 individuals on the high priority list. now what are we doing with these 33 individuals. >> so it's very dependant on each case, what are the needs of each case and it's a care coordination plan and what services they're willing to receive right now and how we could get them to a point where they get more care and get into our system. >> supervisor walton: and then, when we set the care plan, and let's say 20 of them decide to go with the plan that's in place but 13 don't accept services, or aren't looking to accept services, what happens then? >> we continue outreach and engagement. this is all about relationship building with the individual, so that never goes away. so we're going out there on a regular basis to check in and to make sure that the person is okay and hopefully develop a relationship over time where they will be willing to accept. >> supervisor walton: so also, if you can -- because i did hear something that i was definitely pleased about in the prevention early -- presentation earlier in the other room beca

>> thank you for that question, supervisor walton. just to echo what has already been said, accountability and transparency is essential. however, here in san francisco, we have the unique opportunity to have lots of higher learning institutions here. i think we need to involve our higher learning institutions that are willing to get involved to create training centers where folks who are dealing with quality of life issues, folks who are formally offenders, can be in a classroom setting, in learning environment, with people who are on the streets, and they can begin to have a community exchange in an educational environment that would increase understanding. and i think that would bring more transparency -- i mean more affective communication between those two communities. thank you. >> if you wouldn't mind, i did see any other candidate walk into the room. ms. barry. did you want to present to the commission. we already did open and closed public comment, but i wanted you to have an opportunity to speak on behalf of your applicant,

commissioner walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you, chair peskin. question, just -- just for my understanding. so is the current demand for the overhauls -- it doesn't meet or exceed the costs? >> we're asking for a reserve because why? >> they're asking for a reserve 'cause the recommendation is the cost estimate is based on a per unit, assuming we would do all 149 bredas that we currently have in service. so the intent of a reserve would be that we don't do, say, the kind of best 30 with the intent that we would limp along until they're retired. so it's just kind of trying to weigh the benefit of the invest versus risk of the failure. >> chair peskin: or stated differently, commissioner wall son. insofar as we are on -- walton, insofar as we are on the verge of acquiring new l.r.v.s, and we have to patch that period of time, we might not need all of it, and plow that into the new l.v.s. we really just need information how many need to be refurbished and how many might not. >> supervisor walton: which brings me to my next question. as we setup the

supervisor walton? >> thank you, chair mandelman. so definitely have a few questions and a few statements. as we look at slide 14, and on slide 14, we talk about having 33 individuals on the hsac high priority list? >> so there's multiple different mechanisms and it's really funneled through the department of public health. these are individuals that are potentially having mental health needs or other needs that are causing concerns either through city agencies or neighborhoods and have gotten multiple citations -- not official citations but multiple notifications about them. most of those go through hsac and then gets consolidated. >> supervisor walton: and then having 33 individuals on the high priority list. now what are we doing with these 33 individuals. >> so it's very dependant on each case, what are the needs of each case and it's a care coordination plan and what services they're willing to receive right now and how we could get them to a point where they get more care and get into our system. >> supervisor walton: and then,

and to new commissioners haney, mar, and walton, that was your t.a. 101. now you know everything you need to know. the one thing that i think all of us are going to have to deal with in the coming year and going forward is impacts to small businesses from these major projects, whether it's the central subway, which we dealt with last year or vanness and in the future geary and lombard, it affects all of our districts, and we really have to work with the m.t.a. to come up with some kind of a meaningful real mitigation program because i'm watching these businesses on vanness avenue, and it's not okay. so that's a 2019 project for us. with that, commissioner yee? >> president yee: first of all, thank you -- i want to thank director chang for her report, and i also have a -- probably concerns -- as much concern as chair peskin in regards to small businesses really hurting with these construction projects. i've seen over and over again, even for the few months that it impacted west portal, it had some impact. and i said probably two years ago that we really nee

[applause] >> now representing district 10, simon walton. >> are we on? [applause] well, first of all, thank you so much, and congratulations on being elected to represent us as board president. i think that you'll do knowa amazing job and i'm looking forward to working with you in that role. supervisor fewer gave us some good advice last night when we were recognized by the community in chinatown at an amazing event. and she said "never promise your significant other that you will be home in time for dinner. ". and i think that today's meeting is a -- [laughter]. is a testament to that. and you let us know and you made that true right away. so it's always good to have that on your first meeting, a reality check. i gave a three-part speech earlier today at our community swearing-in so i won't be long but i want to say thank you so much to the entire district 10 community. we have strong resilient community, strong resilient neighborhoods in our district that worked very hard for us to get elected. so i want to thank all of them. and i want to thank our ca

office and supervisor walton to helping sponsor the major encroachment project. the dogpatch plaza was con ve d veefd -- conceived of a plan for additional open space to be used by all and as part of the project on indiana street we decided to dedicate the in-kind improvements to build the public plaza. we had a series of meetings with different members including the dogpatch association starting in 2014 and worked over the years to make sure we had input from community members to make sure the plaza is something that could be well utilized by the neighborhood. at this point in time we're affording the encroachment portion and with that i'll turn it over to a colleague to talk you briefly through the plan. >> thank you for your support. >> sf gov tv, we these the laptop, please. >> thank you. dogpatch art plaza has been a community effort with residential residents and businesses within the area. there's over 15 different businesses and owners of properties on the friends of dogpatch art plaza non-profit board. as well as the plaza is within the newly-formed dogp

i will say, she is not, supervisor walton, a native san franciscan. she hails from st., but she is homegrown in as far as she grew up in the fillmore and lived -- >> since the age of 2. >> supervisor peskin: since the age of 2, and lived through the battle days of redevelopment. and despite growing up in a neighborhood that was tough, twanna faced it all down with zeal and perseverance, and she thrives at st. paul's catholic high school, where she was a member of the girl's athletic association, varsity basketball team, and served as vice president of the peace club. outside of school she volunteered at mt. zion hospital and at the golden gate chapter of the red cross, and ultimately after graduating from college, entered into a noble, honorable profession of nurse, where she is a registered nurse, and i can honestly say, that is a job that suits ms. granger quite well, because she can make anybody feel at ease and carries her bedside manner in an incredibly beautiful way. she later found her calling in chinatown, as i previously said, and helped organize the ping u.n.

congratulations, supervisor walton. i know they built it at risk. next item, please. >> clerk: item 4 the resolution granting permission to 1532 harrison street and the property owner of 1532 harrison street to occupy a portion of 12th street right-of-way conditionally accept offer of public improvements an dedicating them to public use and pending appropriate finding. >> commissioner: this is brought to us by the mayor and supervisor haney and mandelman. >> thank you to my co-sponsor for their leadership. this is an exciting opportunity we have with eagle plaza for any number of reasons. it's an area of the city where we are lacking open space and this is going to be bring critical space to the west soma neighborhood. we have a plaza that will be thriving and serve the residents as well as the broader community. it's also exciting to further the work done to pay homage to the lgbt leather community in west soma. the men and women of the leatherman community have played a critical role in the area in san francisco. this will help further the work we

[agenda item read]. >> chair ronen: thank you so much. and this is legislation that i'm sponsoring that i'm very, very excited about, and i'm proud to be introducing today -- or hearing today. it's a critical step in our efforts to reform and reimagine our juvenile justice system, and to improve interactions between police and young people in this city. i want to start off by thanking my colleagues on this committee, supervisors mar and walton, for having signed up as cosponsors, even though their name is not on the legislation, victor, thank you so much. and then supervisors peskin and brown are cosponsors. this mandates all youth under 18 consult with legal representation before they can be interrogated by police or before they can waive their miranda rights. it also requires that a responsible family member
