walton is on the roster. we will call after the ma'am and before we vote on the amended legislation. >> so we take the amendments without objection. >> and then i will call on supervisor walton. >> thank you. president mandelman. during the covid pandemic we granted emergency powers with the presence of a plan. now we have before us legislation that among other things requests waiving approval processes for contracking, waiving our behested payment policies all without knowing what will be done. we don't have a plan in front of us that details what the mayor's team plans to do with these emergency powers. this is probably the most vivid example of putting the cart before the hours horse i have seen in my years in office supporting this legislation as is extremely prein tour. not only is there the absence of a plan there is also the acsense of knowing how much this will cost the city according to the bla and the fiscal impact of the proposed ordinance is difficult to estimate. since the universe of contracts this will or men awarded is not yet known. and in addition the aim of funds raising that could off set now cost system unknown. so we are talking about the possibility of a blank check. and at least 100 million dollars and the mayor can change without process. our checks and balance system of gentleman was put in place so the people have representation on all sides. so that we don't have a dictatorship in san francisco gentleman. i will continue to support pla determines what laws we need to change for its success if and when it is presented and supported by this body. i'm not sure when we started preemping emergency powerhouse. i have been told this is i plan to get 1500 beds. where, how? i want it support strajs and plan this is get us somewhere. and while i agree it is an unprecedented time, this is why we need an unpresidented plan to address the fentanyl crisis and mental health crisis in the city. i have not seen a plan i cannot vote, yes in the absense of i plan. strategy or something besides strong wor. thank you, mr. president. >> thank you supervisor walton. i don't see anyone else on the roster call the roll on the ordinance as amended >> item supervisor mahmood is on the roster >> i wanted before voting --mented vote in support, i mentioned left time i commend the mayor's intentionality. to cut through the red tape to allow government action on an issue that requires urgency. it hen over due for our residents in the tenderloin. i do want to thank my colleagues and supervisor chan and the budget and finance for passing item. and for my colleague who is cosponsored this is heeding the call to take our community safer but showing and the board can work together for the good of our residence denials. at the core of what this does is helps the city get out of its way to deliver life saving resources to the neighbor who need it most. our departments will expand service and provide critical resource the tool kits to get the job done. a crisis gone on for too long this is the first step to providing the tools we need to improve safety and brin

walton: just an opportunity to walk around, kill a couple hours. and i knew that we'd go home and have naps and everybody'd be happy. kate snow: the waltons chose to move to kenya two years earlier from texas. for katherine and phillip, it was like going home. they were both children of missionaries and grew up in countries in west africa. they met in boarding school in africa, married in the states, and started raising their family. at the time of the attack, blaise was 14 years old, ian 10, portia four, gigi two, and petra, the baby just 13 months old, was born in kenya. their morning at the mall unfolded just as any family's might. they had lunch together in the third floor food court. after lunch, the boys decided to race down to the first floor to a big department store, sort of like a super wal-mart, called nakumatt. mom and the three young girls were still finishing up lunch, so they lagged behind. as they were walking through the mall to catch up with the boys, with the baby in a sling and the two toddlers holding mom's hands, it happened-- an explosion. so the first thing that tells you something's wrong is a huge bang? yeah. yeah. kate snow: coming from where? it was the main entrance, so it was off to my right and behind me. i remember turning around and looking at it, and just seeing people screaming and running. kate snow: in those first seconds, katherine was unsure what was happening. she thought it sounded like broken glass or something falling, but she immediately grasped that she and her girls were in danger. the chaos confused another mother not far from katherine on the main floor. faith wambua was in the mall with her two children, nine-year-old daughter sy and 21-month-old son ty. the agricultural researcher was shopping for an anniversary present for her husband. she was in a flower shop when she first heard thise. it was so loud that i actually thought that it must have been an earthquake and the building was collapsing. so that's the point when i just told my kids to lie down. of course, i'm scanning the area wondering where are we going to go. kate snow: scenes captured on security cameras in the mall show how quickly the attack began. you can see machine gun bullets flashing down the main concourse as shoppers frantically scramble and dive to the floor. and then i saw tracer rounds starting to hit the shops that were straight ahead. kate snow: katherine's first thought, protect her kids. it was, you know, just instinct to grab the girls and run. but we must not have gone very far and a kenyan woman came, scooped up portia, and um, and we both ran right behind this display table, display cabinet. kate snow: her girls, and the kenyan woman took cover the only place they could. here they are crouching under a flimsy temporary display table. petra was crying, because i was laying on her, and it was loud. it was very loud, very chaotic. what was happening around you? what are you hearing? everybody was scrambling. the shooting was like coming from all directions. kate snow: katherine knew her boys had been headed toward that department store, the nakumatt. amid all the noise and commotion, she managed to call them and yell out a quick warning. i said, don't come out of nakumatt. they're shooting. go, run, hide. do not come out. kate snow: katherine knew the situation was dangerous, extremely dangerous, but at least she had some cover. faith wambua and her kids were also trapped on the ground floor but cowering out in the open, exposed to the gunmen stalking new victims. i'm telling the kids to lie down. then now there's this continuous loud sounds and that's when i knew they were shooting. then i thought, "uh oh, wrong choice of hiding place." i remember even my daughter at one point asked me, "mama, was this the best place we could hide?" kate snow: the assault continued. you're not hearing just one gunman. you're hearing multiple- - all over. it sounded like it was all over. of course, in the building it was just echoing and reverberating. so you could actually look up and see other floors? where i was laying, i could see across and up the different levels. you know, it was just chaos. what's the smell like? the whole mall was cloudy and just smoke everywhere. gunpowder, burning smell. did any of them come anywhere near you? i saw two of them that walked from the main entrance in front of the line of stores that were directly in front of us and-- hold on. what did you see? i mean you saw their go by? no, i saw them. i saw two whole men. you know, they were 50 yards, 30 yards away, i don't know. kate snow: what did they look like? they had tan and gray clothing, and they were carrying very, very large weapons, very large guns. kate snow: hearing the gunfire and screams echoing through the mall, both katherine and faith could tell the gunmen were spreading out, killing people as they went along. two mothers trapped with young children worried they'd be next. and a growing fear seized katherine. her boys were no longer answering their phone. where were they? craig melvin: coming up, the terrifying uncertainty for those inside the mall and loved ones outside. i get woken by a phone call. your wife and sons are in there and they're separated. craig melvin: soon a friend of katherine's who's been texting with her would go from worried to frantic. when she sent that, my heart just sank. craig melvin: when dateline continues. it's mesmerizing. cleaning that greasy mess with dawn platinum... and not even scrubbing. —well, fluff my feathers. — [giggle] it cuts through the slimy stuff better than their old dish soap, removing 99% of grease. that's why only dawn is trusted to save wildlife. that's why new to the big city?y dawn yeah. -i'm mara. -hi. apparently progressive lets homeowners and renters bundle with their auto policy. 24/7 protection for all of my...things.

[gunshots] kate snow: armed men stormed into the westgate mall in nairobi, kenya, firing round after fatal round. katherine walton hunkered down near where the shooting had started, crouched in a small kiosk with a stranger and her three young daughters. she was desperately worried about her sons who were somewhere out there, but she had to focus on keeping her daughters quiet so they wouldn't attract attention. are you hiding from gunmen? yeah. we were laying down on the ground trying to hide from them so that they couldn't see us. portia kept her fingers in her ears. gigi lay there and she said, "mom, i want my blanket, and my mouse, and my flashlight." she sleeps with those three things every night. she said she wanted her brothers. and i told her that we'd see them later. kate snow: katherine could only hope that was true. half a world away, a phone rang in a hotel in north carolina. katherine's husband philip, a tech entrepreneur, had gone back to the us for business meetings, leaving his wife alone in nairobi with their five kids. i get woken up about 6 am by a phone call from paul weaver, who's our dear fa

walton's and i don't know this but i they they socialized a lot and i was under the impression that he was in communication with supervisor walton about our plans to buy the building. but we did not have any specific community meetings about this project. thank you. >> thank you for that. i mean this is the first part of me that i'd like to open this hearing but at the same time there's also that how do we move forward at the end of the day i think and one of the public speakers. right. we need to look into the third street corridor and i think that and i think that's something that will be talked about as part of the budget as well. >> but the third straight quarter needs to be reassessed on what kind of uses needs to be there and what what have been you know, what kind of what kind of views that needs to be there and what has been there for a long period of time. and that will take of course for me to engage mid but as looking into this 40/103 street that that is also kind of part of that and there's been i for me i kind of want to move forward two friends of the children also do intend like the diligence of community engagement along the neighborhood but i also want to hear what other commissioners feel or think as well as there are some you know our new information that's coming in front of us and whether we should, you know, relook at this, whether to rescind or to for us to create an action for more having a community liaison i guess for the friends of the children with the community members so that there is really an involvement and engagement within the community. it doesn't feel like the social service is not welcome. the community but yeah i'm just struck trying to brainstorm of what we can do. this is more as of now this is committee mission matters and we're not calling for an action right now but yeah that's something that commissioner imperial if i may provide a suggestion that two things one one of the conditions of approval was a community liaison requirement. so that's absolute already a requirement for the project and so i would encourage anyone who's in the community who has concerns or wants to have an ongoing conversation that is or require payment and we will have that contact information on file at the planning department. the second thing i just wanted to remind the commission of is the action that was before you two weeks ago was actually a housing removal see you. so removing the housing the group housing was the only action before you because social services are actually principal permitted on both the ground floor and second floor. but i think to your point of having a broader conversation maybe moving forward in the future, i think it's a worthwhile conversation to if the bayview community does want to really focus on having, you know, third street be more active retail type of uses to really foster that in the community. you know looking at whether uses like social services should require conditional uses in and of themselves might be a worthwhile amendment to the to the zoning ordinance but i do think it's important to note that they're actually principally permitted so if there wasn't a group housing use there that needed to be removed to the commission this would have been an over the counter permit. >> thank you. thank you for that again for that explanation for everyone to hear as well. yes, you're right and you know it is principally permitted the social service and yeah and that's where we're i'm kind of like you know in terms of my vote and how i voted last week and how the commission voted it is something that is within within that you know within the planning code and within that within that area as well. >> so okay. thank you. just on your broader question too, i think we'll talk about this more on the budget discussion but it is a position we have in the budget for for a liaison to the bayview community and you know third street has been talked about as as a potential, you know, request to look at the zoning there and potentially do it. it has to do i think mr. carter talked about it. so it's really weigh in when we talk about the budget that you'd like to see that prioritize us as part of our work plan. thank you for all the really thoughtful comments and i, i think that this is a good time to get some more conversation among ourselves and i do echo as i said i do echo some of my fellow commissioners particularly my vice president commissioners moore's comment about how we can move forward to continue to do better to facilitate community engagement and with collaboration with supervisor walton'sice anything we can think through it and to improve be more robust we relentlessly outreaching to his office will be a really good way to try to make sure that we're connected between his office and then his constituents like this friendly lady who is ready to probably ship. i heard that i might want to ask her for a few more questions so hold on there for a little minute and i do like to share a little bit of my thought about how to move forward with this is that i like to see this as more like the overall long range land use planning and how can we foster and innovate and and and and how to enable local voices to continue to improve what third street means for bipoc community who have been systematically be underrepresented and please i think ms.. welty at our last hearing already mentioned that we are missing the quorum in the local cac committee advisory so if any of you who currently reside in bayview and qualify to take that seat and please come to reach out to our department and
