>> supervisor yee: yes. supervisor mar just made his comments. >> thank you, thank you supervisor mar fort legislation you put forward. we know that just a few months ago, unemployment in san francisco was only 2% and now it's over 12% according to oewd's presentation at gao last week. more than 122,000 san franciscans are out of work and filed for unemploymen unemploym. like all of you, i've heard from many local businesses on the brink of close hog have rightly testified this will delay staffing up for reopening at a time when every hour counts. many of our beloved local restaurants who previously employed part-time workers more than one location, hover right around the threshold for this legislation. and they continue to testify that they cannot meet the significant reporting requirements in this proposal. the owners of the pizzeria as well as many others confirmed for me this morning they remain in strong opposition to this legislation because it will jeopardize their ability to reopen at all locations i

thank you, president yee and colleagues. >> president yee: thank you, supervisor. so, let me say a few words here. what i've seen in recent days is sort of a moment in time different from what i witnessed certainly this past decade and we, the last few decades. we are all accustomed to seeing marches and demonstrations around the civic center or the downtown area. and so it's nothing new, that's what we are seeing on the news. what i have not seen are things that are going on in the city that's never happened before. even this weekend there was a demonstration oral i, if you may, in the bay view community, in supervisor walton's district, that i don't think really caught much media at all and showing the frustration in that community. but even beyond that the other thing i went to on sunday was another march, and i don't think there's ever been a march along ocean avenue before, and there were several thousand people and it was youth-led, and mostly families that went through there. i -- i'm not very good at estimating, but to have -- i was thinking 5,000, it could

yee: thank you. colleague, that brings us to the end of the agenda tonight. madam clerk, is there any further business before us today? >> clerk: that continues -- that concludes our business for today. >> president yee: thank you very much. meeting adjourned. >> ♪ ♪ we are definitely pioneers in airport concession world a world of nationally if not entirely or internationally >> everybody is cop us right now. >> the people that were in charge of the retail this is where that began. >> i didn't think we would have a location at the airport. >> we've set the bar higher with the customer commerce. >> telling me about the operator and how you go about finding them and they get from being in the city to being in the airport. >> so first, we actually find a table and once we know what we want a sit-down we go to the neighborhoods in san francisco and other people seminary of the retail let us know about the rain water and are excited to have the local operators in the airport. >> we have to go going throu

yee: thank you. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you. and then, supervisor fewer, introducing new business? >> supervisor fewer: yes. thank you, madam clerk. colleagues, i think racial and economic justice and the need for systemic change is at the forefront of all of our minds today. i, along with supervisor shamann walton am proud to introduce the people over profits ordinance which aims to make permanent and build on reforms voted last year in san francisco to make all jail calls free and end the marking up of items in the jail commissary or store. these reforms last year were reflected in the city budget. one year later, i am proud to work with colleagues to codify our commitment to permanently end the practice of generating revenue from incarcerated people and their families. previously, the practice of san francisco was to markup jail phone calls and commissary prices to generate revenue for jail operations. virtually every jail and the prison in the country does this. this lays a heavy kbubu

yee -- sorry. my apologies. >> commissioner yee: go ahead. >> chair peskin: would you like to make a motion to remove said funds from this allocation? >> commissioner yee: what would happen? >> chair peskin: it would go into the next call for projects, together with the $3.7 million. is that correct, mr. pickford? > >>> that's correct. >> the $500,000 is no longer available currently for us to construct this project, once we finish detailed designs. >> that is correct. >> chair peskin: and the call for projects would be $4.2 million instead of $3.7 million? >> yes. >> commissioner yee: yeah. i'm willing to change the motion. from my statement a year ago. >> chair peskin: motion made by commissioner yee to remove the $500,000 and put it into the next call for projects. is there a second for that motion? >> second, safai. >> chair peskin: second safai. on that motion made and seconded -- did we do public comment on this item? >> clerk: we have not done public comment. >> chair peskin: why don't we op

>> yes, president yee.logies, something is wrong with my camera and it says no available camera found so sorry. i will speak but you won't be able to see me. supervisor peskin, thank you very much for questions. yes, i did mention to them, at the same thought crossed my mind, there were many private schools quite frankly that were on the list for these grants. i said during the budget committee discussion on this that i would like to see more public schools actually partake of this and i think that they have been very thoughtful they are grateful where these go to and they're extending the outreach. >> they are receiving quarterly reports and if we don't and the president to to charter section 9.118. is that correct. >> through the president, and also those reports and on the puc website for to the public. >> it's through the president at the question and the city attorney and i one agreement is entered into we cannot going forward if we don't like what we see in these quarterly reports, we rescind this aut

>> supervisor ronen: i don't want to cutoff president yee. i actually have a similar version of a question, so maybe you can finish up because i very much agreed with everything you had to say. i'm wondering -- and this is sort of a similar question to president yee, how decisions are made specifically on timing and use and selection of awardees for nofas, r.f.p.s, and r.f.q.s. and the reason i'm asking -- this is very similar in line to what supervisor walton and president yee were saying -- is often times, it feels like the same large developers get awarded and selected time and time again, and i'm just wondering what mohcd is doing to improve capacity in smaller organizations led by black and brown folks so that they're able to compete with the large, nonprofit developers who are awarded pretty much every single contract. this is news to me, but members of the community are on these panels, as well. i had no idea. i've never heard of that before, so that just -- i would love to hear more about that, as well. >> so supervisor, there was $3

>> thank you, president yee. and thank you colleagues and my apologies for not suffering that in my discussion and thank you to the members of the public who have weighed in over the last hour and a half. with regard to item 24, i would like to regale all of your colleagues and members of the public with the long history that starts in the year 2001 when my then colleague, supervisor mark leno, later on senator mark leno, to have the first inclusion housing policy as a matter of law in the city and county of san francisco at 10% and that number went up and down over time and, unfortunately, in the year 2012 was ensconced in the charter in the year 2016, in the month of june and the voters of san francisco voted on a charter amendment authored by then supervisor jane kim, coauthored by this supervisor that took that out of the charter and has returned this to a dynamic instrument in san francisco and the measure that is before us today opposes a piece of state legislation that would otherwise preempt our local inc

we -- >> president yee: that's how you determine it, right? the paw on the item. >> these days -- excuse me for that. these days, we are often issuing notes for an r.f.p. for the city or that has come to the city for surplus properties or surplus lands. we have also land dedication, which, as you all know, is mechanism by which private developers fulfill their inclusionary requirements, so they give us land, and we like to develop that land. and all through these projects, we're assessing feasiblity. we don't want to spend too much on particular project. in the last few years, the state has issued a number of nofas and r.f.p.s, a number of new funding programs under governor newsom's leadership, that we're constantly trying to match those funding sources with our projects and see where we can leverage additional funding sources and have more money for more city projects. when we do issue a notice for an r.f.p. or r.f.q., it includes committee members and always includes city members, and then we select the developers, and after that point, we

president yee and members of board of supervisors. my name is sandra costello, senior vice president of public policy at the san francisco travel association. i'm calling in regards to item number 28 on your agenda today. san francisco travel is a not-for-profit organization that markets san francisco as a destination globally and we also sell publicly owned [inaudible] to large group business. we've been really proud the way san francisco has managed the covid-19 pandemic. the leadership shown by the mayor, our health officer, this board of supervisors and city departments has been strao*ed extraordinary and now as we carefully and thoughtfully continue our phased re-opening strategy, we want to ensure a balanced approach of the city's economic and physical health and we support the health officer, dr. thomas arragon and his efforts to prepare in support of the variance to progress further into the state's covid-19 resilience road map. we'll continue to work with the doctor as he uses his discretion to re-open certain business sector

. >> thank you, commissioner yee. >> commissioner yee: thank you. i wasn't too sure how this fits into the par tic particular ite. when you talk about congestion and the balance of people getting into vehicles and the lack of public transportation at this point. and probably the people on the west side see a lack of public transportation the most because it's just not there. and i feel particularly in my district that it's really lacking. there's a few lines that are running and i want to thank m.t.a. for getting the 43 line back and running. that's one of the few lines that we have now that go up on the hill a little bit. there's no plans to bring back in some. and if you take the area around parkson, that when you cut off the line with the 57, you're pretty much like the desert there and so in rethinking -- and it seems that 57 and other lines like that are not in the plans to come back and it means that we have workers that need to get to work uptown and so forth and so how do you balance that and we have enough resources for peer services and al

commissioner yee?>> president yee: so, the main purpose of a safe street is to allow for people to actually use the street itself for exercising safe distancing and so forth. i guess my question around safe streets is -- is how do you evaluate whether or not it's being utilized or not? i look at kirkham. i was going through their -- there recently, about a week or so ago, and basically it was a sunny day, so it wasn't one of these colder days we've had in the last few days. and basically, there was nobody on the street for -- that i went through. i guess how do you evaluate whether or not it's useful to do this and it is not why do we keep on having it closed? >> thank you. so the original purpose of our slow streets program came immediately after the dramatic cuts we had to make in muni service in early april. so it was -- the intent was to serve two functions. one was to allow people to exercise safely outdoors. but the second function was to make it possible for people to be able to get safely to th

. >> thank you, president yee. and thank you colleagues and my apologies for not suffering that in my discussion and thank you to the members of the public who have weighed in over the last hour and a half. with regard to item 24, i would like to regale all of your colleagues and members of the public with the long history that starts in the year 2001 when my then colleague, supervisor mark leno, later on senator mark leno, to have the first inclusion housing policy as a matter of law in the city and county of san francisco at 10% and that number went up and

the other introduced by president yee with supervisors haney, fewer and peskin.oth are larger scale changes. i'll talk through the specific challenge we're trying to address with these measures with the charter measure. i should say if the charter measure is amended and does move forward, i think the intent at the end of the day would be to merge it with the other measures on the ballot. the goal would be at the end of the board process, they would be merged. i should start with talking about a key feature of the two ballot measures. the two taxes. as you know, the city is in the midst of litigation regarding both dedicated taxes adopted by the voters in 2018. the city has been challenged on those. and the goal here of a feature in both of those tax measures is to unlock and basically make the money we're collecting today expendable. we do that as creating a backstop tax. that is one feature that should the city lose that litigation would opt into place. those new backstop taxes would look in many ways like big and baby c in their tax structure and they would gen

yee: okay. just trying to figure out if the budget is increasing. >> staff: as the budget is increasing and something supervisor mandelman mentioned and the pit stop program didn't exist 10 years ago and it's a costly program but a little needed right now and added in services right now. i can probably go back with my staff and show you pieces on apples to apples and street sweeping budget and what that's done and incremental adds in the other programs. >> n. yee: the next question is for clarification, you end up doing some work and a lot of it is contracted out. you're acting almost as a middle department. >> staff: it only allows six departments to did construction. one of those puc, airport, parks and the port and those are the only departments that are allowed to do construction work. police and fire can't do their own work. and in the sense we are performing work on behalf of the police department on behalf of the hospital, it's kind of a passthough but then at the same time you wouldn't p

this is an information item. >> president yee: okay. no -- no introduction of new items unless i said earlier to have m.t.c. come and give a report on their report that just came out, okay? so i guess let's go to public comment, then. >> clerk: okay. there is one public comment. >> operator: you have one question remaining. >> clerk: hello, caller. your two minutes begins now. >> good afternoon, chair yee and commissioner peskin. i want to thank you for this opportunity to speak. this is jodi madeiras, and i'm the executive director of walk san francisco. i'm here to speak on behalf of 20 organizations on the vision zero coalition who sent this body as well as mayor breed a letter yesterday to encourage our city to invest in alternatives to safe policing on our streets. we need a stronger and committed investment in fair and proportionate policing. i want to thank kate breed for discussing this city's work on the automated speed enforcement because we need to pilot life saving speed safety cameras now. we also are asking as a group for

supervisor yee did you have a comment? >> supervisor yee: yeah, i do have a comment. thank you for the presentation and as you know i spent 35 years of my life doing non-profit. and i guess -- it's probably not quite related to what you're talking about -- but it is. as in an organization for a long time and i have seen so many organizations and their e.d.s and the way that you think and so forth and i'm not talking about large organizations. a lot of them are really small you know, 20 people, 10 people, something like that. and one of the things that, you know as we talk about this, you know what the government position is what are the non-profit positions and how much does the non-profit really going to tie themselves with government. and i was running my organization, last one and a -- some of it was advocacy. and i'm finding now that if you get tied too personally to government money in particular as a source of funding that there's a danger that the organization becomes a little muffled. or they are almost like a gag order or something. like oh you shouldn't be s

i want to start off by thanking all of my colleagues, president norman yee, gordon mar, sandra fewer, hillary ronen, aaron peskin, matt haney, rafael mandelman, dean preston and catherine stefani. this is imperative that we announce that we are all unanimously in support of this, because this is something that is going to push san francisco to be more equitable, which has always been a part of our core values in the city. currently advisory bodies, that were created by the charter, can carve out exceptions to age, residency and citizenship requirements. this charter amendment will remove the citizen requirement, allowing qualified individuals to apply and serve on committees and commissions. in san francisco, we often worked hard to ensure that no community is left behind. and this is why this ordinary is so historical is should have been in place a long time. all voices should be allowed at the table. and this is just one step forward towards achieving that equitable voice. and i'm very confident that san franciscans will vote this charter amendment into law. i want to thank all of t
