walton became the supervisor. hhe is a warrior for those not represented as well as they should be in the political discourse and communities disconnected from what is happening in the rest of san francisco and has been a great partner to make this project happen. i don't say he micromanaged. he called me on many, many details many times. he was well aware of everything happening with this project and please join me to welcome supervisor walton. [applause] >> thank you, jeff. first of all, good afternoon everybody. >> good afternoon. >> this is an amazing afternoon and it is amazing because we are bringing together two amazing historical organizations. jelani house was named after mr. and mrs. everhart's son jelani. giveheim a hand.

i bring you our supervisor walton. >> good afternoon. it is always a pleasure to be home. this is just a wonderful feeling today as i had a chance to walk into this and i used to attends here illegally. my aunt was director at the time. we named the infant child center after her. when my mom needed a place for me to go when i was removed from school for some reason or whatever the case may be, i would be here at cleo wallace along with other folks here in ph. iit is good to see so many residents not from just from here but from other sites. this is important. we make sure we make our populations whole and communities whole, having the ability to bring people that used to live here that have been displaced is an important piece to make that happen. i want be to appreciate our then. thensupervisor breed and cohen for passing the legislation to make it possible for higher percentages of our folks to win in the lot terry system that is detrimental to opportunity for housing for black people. i want to make sure that everyone knows and understands that we are going to continuou

and so we have a motion on the table today that supervisor walton has brought forth to continue this item -- i mean, to vote for this item, to pass it to the full board, and i would like to propose a motion that we continue this item for another week as we first hear from, as i said, scheduled next week is a full report from the controller about projections, and they'll have much more information then. i am also requesting information on the $1 million that the mayor has set aside, has that fund grown, what is the criteria for that, and how are these two differently -- different, or is it a meshing of these two? so i do have some other questions, actually, from the treasurer's office, but i can submit those during the week if the motion passes. so first, i'd like to have an opportunity to vote on supervisor walton's -- >> clerk: chair fewer, one of the clarifications, at the beginning of the meeting, supervisor ronen did submit amendments to item 10 for your consideration. would you like to consider those amendments? >> chair fewer: i think we can vote on the amendments, quite frankl

>> supervisor walton: thank you, chair fewer. just a quick question because i definitely think it's important to have know your rights trainings, and i'm glad you brought that up. have you had conversations with the board of education or school leadership to make sure that these are happening throughout the district? >> so we haven't really. i mean, just by nature of us being the san francisco youth commission, sfusd is sadly not in our sphere of influence, however, i think this is something we could definitely take up with the student advisory contact which did directly interact with the board of education. it's definitely in the works. >> supervisor walton: we'll have some communications. i've got some ideas how we can get it in the school and into our educational institutions, as well. >> thank you. we would love any support that you can give. >> chair fewer: thank you. i just wanted to say thank you also. i do have a couple of comments, and one is that having sat on this committee for three years and having heard the budget c

supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you, chair fewer. i certainly understand supervisor mandelman's concerns, but we are in a time of uncertainty. certainly, the questions that supervisor mandelman wants answered are valid. i think if we look at the federal stimulus package, we can see that our top priority is keeping everyone healthy and keeping everyone safe. i think the idea is we're going to have billions of dollars from the federal government to address the health care needs here across the country, which i think is important to note. and we also have to look at the fact that we have businesses that are literally dying today, dying today as we speak in all of our districts if you look at the third street corridor, which happens to be high vacancy rates in terms of businesses in general, our businesses are bleeding. most of them are not open. they don't have a way to participate and keep their doors open in terms of delivery. it's not just happening in district 10, but it's happening across the city. and we have to do something with

this statement from judge walton, as i understand it, you know judge walton. >> i do. >> i'm guessingaracter for him. >> this is an extraordinary statement about an attorney general. what the judge said is that the attorney general of the united states cannot be trusted. anything he says has to be independently verified. judge walton used words like "distorted" and "misleading" and "calculated" to describe barr's actions with regards to the mueller report. if nice kinds of allegations had been made about an ordinary federal law enforcement officer like i was, i'd be subject to an ethics investigation and possible removal from office. >> now, this case has to do with requests for the unredacted mueller report from the electronic privacy center, epic, buzzfeed and others. this isn't a matter of attorney general barr breaking the law, per se. how do you see this in terms of larger fallout and what this means for the justice department's relationship with the judiciary? >> that's a great question, joshua. so i think there are three issues. one is the unredacted mueller report. we still ha

>> supervisor walton: yeah. when they see an encampment, when they see someone with mental health needs, how do they engage? >> so that's a very good question. right now, when security sees these individuals starting to set up camp, if they're around, they would confront the individuals and tell them that they're not allowed to set up camp here, and they would talk to them and coerce them not to set up camp. the problem is when there's no security there, that they do set up camp, and then, by the time the employees get to work, the employees run in to them, and they have to confront them themselves. the security guards are trained in deeffect training prior to going to the sfmta, so they're very well trained in getting them to not set up on the property. >> supervisor walton: and if that doesn't work? >> if they feel their safety is in jeopardy, they immediately call sfpd and have them intervene. >> supervisor walton: would they also act with hsoc and other agencies? >> yes. hsoc has been helping out at our faci

walton -- supervisor walton. i guess when you've been around as long as i have, you have the pleasure and the opportunity of seeing people grow up. and so before us today is supervisor walton. and i want to tell you, i was quite humbled when he told me i was going to be honored, and i stand here with tremendous humility and gratitude. and so people ask me frequently, well, how old are you? and so i say, i am closer to 80 than i am 70. now you figure it out. but as mr. walton said -- supervisor walton said, i came here from mobile, alabama in 1955. i remember when i was about eight, and i had lived in an insulated and nurtured african american environment. we went to segregated schools, we had our own transportation, and i believe the only thing we brought from the store was maybe some flour because we had our own farm, and we produced just about everything. and that was in the country. and then, i went back to mobile, and my aunt was taking me somewhere with her. we got on the bus, and i jumped up and sat in the

the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor walton. supervisor yee. >> colleagues, as you know, you're well aware of property taxes are due next week, april 10th, 2020. given the shelter-in-place order and the public closure of city hall, we are unable to provide taxpayers the ability to pay their taxes in person. it has come to our attention that late payments would accrue penalties unless the board officially closes the treasurer, tax collectorrers in person payment location. therefore, i am introducing a resolution along with supervisors safaye, supervisor stephanie, supervisor yee, that they are not penalized. we understand this is a difficult time for many residents. but we are encouraging those who are able to pay online to do so. but for those who cannot, you should not be fined when it is physically impossible to pay in person i want to emphasize that, unfortunately, the city is unable to defer your property taxes as this is the state issue. however, this resolution will ensure that you are not accruing penalty fees while a she

[applause] >> hold on. supervisor walton?applause] [cheering] >> thank you, president yee. pastor brown, we do have a couple of people who do want to say a few words. one, there are very few people still around here in san francisco that have a direct connection and correlation to the civil rights movement in this country. your work during that time period, your work over the past several decades, is something that we want to make sure that is acknowledged proudly, widely, and very publicly. you have represented the black community in this city for a very long time. >> a long time. >> and i want to make sure that everyone knows, whether or not we always agree, that we are fighting to make sure that lives here in san francisco for black folks are equitable, to make sure that we are successful and that we thrive here in this city. i do want to share one thing: a lot of people may not know this, but on pastor brown's first sunday in san francisco at third baptist, he christened me. i was a one-year-old baby. [applause] >> and so

i haven't read reggie walton's, judge walton's report, and i've certainly not read the redacted portions. i did t thk -- and as of this time, i did not -- i do not think that what attorney general barr said in that initial press conference was in any way misleading. but you can easily say, "oh, well, you should've said thisnd that, because it's a 400-page report. this was a judgment call by the attorney general. >> it was a judgment call, but it wn't just what he said in the presconference. it was what he wrote in the letter and whether the summary letter that he sent to congress wafairly characterized whain the report. >> i think at the time i felt that it was that iwas fair. you can always criticize the letter as not being as complete as it should. >> what does thamean that a bush-appointed federal judge has come out and said that he believes the attorney geral was not fairly characterizing the report? >> well, it's something that has to be taken seriously.u i' not prered to comment on it because i've not read judge walton's order, i haven't seen the redacovisions -- parts of the repor
