We are now transferring people from workers comp to the Health System people will sa. And so, you confuse the doctor, especially if youre out of area, you confuse the tonight. You confuse the pharmacy if you say, im getting my prescriptions filled for my workers comp. Workers cor comp pays for disability thats not permanent. You could be an active employee and be under workers comp or be eligible for a completely different position or body part than youve been awarded a workers comp. So how Health Services administer focuadminister folkss corcomp is something we dont gt involved with in making sure they get connected and theres no break in coverage for them on their medical side, but well, ive been pleaed with d people contacted me and said i have and issue and they have an advocate group for the retirees. Thats the same type of service i would hike to see here and i think it can be done with the o mbudsperson, somebody high up in the chain that can walk in and figure out. Make the sure it gets fix. But in the meantime, that person will be me. It shouldnt be you and you know, youre getting bantered around and i dont want you to get bantered around. Operations are under me. Didnt nobody here can be doing it all and you have two jobs, a mother job and you have a father job and you have, you know, sister job and all that stuff that goes along that is occurring in family lives and stuff hike that. Like that. Thats why i say its two jobs but its really just being able to make it good for some of the people that are ill. See if theres any improvement in the process and benchmark the number of cases today and well come back 12 months to see if theres any change in that number. Weve documented on the first page, midapril, 2019, but well have real numbers. Its approximately 400 but well have 421 or whatever the numbers are. Anything else on this item . Public comments . A discussion item only, ok. That concludes that item. Before we move on, under item 15, the cis report, was it meant this item regarding New Enterprise should have been on the calendar . They were added to the closures after the board materials were released. The director was notified by ashley duneen that its that time of year and time for the distribution of the performance evaluation service. Ashley indicated shell be emails services directly to each board member this friday, the 14th and that under the board policy, the retirement board needs to get their survey responses back to ashley by the end of this month. , so june 30th. I also have some good news related to onech our commissioners. Commissioner carmen shoe delivered a healthy baby a week ago tuesday. The latest report from her office is that mother and daughter, kaylee, are at home bonding and resting. Maybe you can get that to us in email to respond with a card or something. Sure, darlene can send an email out. Thats what her staff represented it to be. Theres a counter item for the next 12 board meetings but no item scheduled for committee meetings. Im giving us a heads up that items are planned for the committees. If the committee doesnt meet, items dont get done. The only answer is the obviously one, which is purpose of our education, personnel, deferred comp. There are actions the board is waiting. So these committees have to meet to get things done. The committees may change next month but in terms of planning out your schedule, plan on saving the third wednesday of every month for a committee meeting. Maybe youre not on that committee. The reason this is important, in terms of the Strategic Plan we expect staff to do things. Every item, theyre labeled deliverables, something were expecting staff to do. Part of the concept of deliverables, if a group is supposed to meet and decide, if the group doesnt meet, huge botched it up in gettin gettings done, much like hearings for disability. Things that should take a few months take one to six years to get done. But sometimes we are at fault because we dont do what were supposed to do. We have our Strategic Plan or theyre waiting for us to act, and i think that maybe as the guy who started the Committee System over claires objections may need to revisit the Committee System to discuss do we have the right committees and are we in the are we doing everything or should we be consolidating . I think thats a discussion youll have to think out in the next month as you make your Committee Appointments in amonging at thlooking at the co, because were looking at not only time but its efficiency and something that we have to get done and i think that thats committees some committees may outly their usefulness and some committees are needed to get to another point. No one sense, you dont need committees, but the general topic task is called governance. We evaluate managers nonstop and the selfevaluation by the board has been dropped, skipped, ignored, never discussed. When we do it with managers, we know why we hire them and fire them. We have to apply the same standard to ourselves if were going to sit here and insist on governing this system. To again, im bringing this up, right now there are no Committee Calendars to meet. Youre right, the only one on the calendar. I appreciate your comments because we need to have a commitment that the Committee System will do the work or otherwise, our meeting share will be twice as long and that was, i believe, part of the reason at one point, this board met twice a month for the longest period of time and that was because they had disability hearings as well as all of the work is being done not in committee. So i think it should go through the Governance Committee with that discussion on the system. A few years ago we had it offsite and supposedly went through this whole thing. The selfevaluation . Consolidated committees, rebranded, whatever. You know, theres been a lot of change and Going Forward with the new committee assignments, everybody will come together. Disability hearing stopped 43 years ago so were way passed that. Its effective november of 1976. You can find a meeting. I hear stories about people watching from the old board room next door, watching the applicant with the head brace on and that as soon as theyre through with the hearing, they see it toss the neck brace off and jog across street, which was less than 43 years ago but its not the point. Part of expecting our managers to do better, expecting slantexpectingconsultants to doo provide better service, we have to apply that to the board. Is that the only item left to discuss in. Public comment on the executive directors report. Excuse me. Move to go to the order, individual members have any comments they would like to make . I have a couple. I do. Its interesting because ive been to several meetings and things and people ask me about the contribution rates and i show it to them and theyre astounded and theyre mostly astounded by looking from 1997 to 2005. And it kind of says it all and i think this chart would be good on our website, on an evergreen and updated so its readily available to us. And its very eyeopening. The other thing is the, this was in bigger letters so i printed it up and its great for the members. And especially for the organizations. They look at it and they can its something that gives them information and its really good. So thats the type of things that im looking for when i say theres stuff thats on our website that the membership can look at, that others can look at that are interested in us. And it tells our story, our history. They need to know were not a mystery organization. Thats what im talking about. Thats my good of the order. Is this something the Communications Manager could do in terms of adding to our website . Certainly not within the purview of our assignment. Our current Communications Manager is focused on Member Benefits information, the summary plan descriptions, fact sheets. Ok. Just a thought. Thank you, commissioner driscoll. I thought about something when you mentioned earlier about one of our managers donated to the smithsonian and i wanted to point out we had another manager, one of our private equity managers, robert smith, and you may have seen it on the front of the new york times, he was the Commencement Speaker for Moorehouse College in atlanta, georgia. At the end of his commencement address, he and his family agreed to pay off the loan debt of every single graduate and that was done two weeks ago at the Moorehouse College. He donated to the smithsonian, 20 million for one wing of the museum. I wanted to talk about one of the managers who presented today as well as being a private equity manager and giving back but i thought the moorehouse chef piece acollege piece was o. So thank you for that, letting me point that out. Motion to ajourn is in order. So moved. Public comment. Meeting is adjourned. Hi. My name is carmen chiu, San Franciscos elected assessor. When i meet with seniors in the community, theyre thinking about the future. Some want to down size or move to a new neighborhood thats closer to family, but they also worry that making such a change will increase their property taxes. Thats why i want to share with you a property tax saving program called proposition 60. So how does this work . Prop 60 was passed in 1986 to allow seniors who are 55 years and older to keep their prop 13 value, even when they move into a new home. Under prop 13 law, property growth is limited to 2 growth a year. But when ownership changes the law requires that we reassess the value to new market value. Compared to your existing home, which was benefited from the which has benefited from the prop 13 growth limit on taxable value, the new limit on the replacement home would likely be higher. Thats where prop 60 comes in. Prop 60 recognizes that seniors on fixed income may not be able to afford higher taxes so it allows them to carryover their existing prop 13 value to their new home which means seniors can continue to pay their prop 13 tax values as if they had never moved. Remember, the prop 60 is a one time tax benefit, and the Property Value must be equal to or below around your replacement home. If you plan to purchase your new home before selling your existing home, please make sure that your new home is at the same price or cheaper than your existing home. This means that if your existing home is worth 1 million in market value, your new home must be 1 million or below. If youre looking to purchase and sell within a year, were you nur home must not be at a value that is worth more than 105 of your exist egging home. Which means if you sell your old home for 1 million, and you buy a home within one year, your new home should not be worth more than 1. 15 million. If you sell your existing home at 1 million and buy a replacement between year one and two, it should be no more than 1. 1 million. Know that your ability to participate in this Program Expires after two years. You will not be able to receive prop 60 tax benefits if you cannot make the purchase within two years. So benefit from this tax savings program, you have to apply. Just download the prop 60 form from our website and submit it to our office. For more, visit our website, sfassessor. Org, about two years ago now i had my first child. And i thought when i come back, you know, im going to get back in the swing of things and ill find a spot. And it wasnt really that way when i got back to work. Thats what really got me to think about the challenges that new mothers face when they come back to work. When it comes to innovative ideas and policies, San Francisco is known to pave the way, fighting for social justice or advocating for the environment, our city serves as the example and leader many times over. And this year, it leads the nation again, but for a new reason. Being the most supportive city of nursing mothers in the work place. I was inspired to work on legislation to help moms return to work, one of my legislative aids had a baby while working in the office and when she returned we had luckily just converted a bathroom at city hall into a lactation room. She was pumping a couple times a day and had it not been for the room around the hallway, i dont know if she could have continued to provide breast milk for her baby. Not all returning mothers have the same access, even though theres existing state laws on the issues. These moms usually work in low paying jobs and returning to work sooner and they dont feel wellsupported at work. We started out by having legislation to mandate that all city offices and departments have accommodations for mothers to return to work and lactate. But this year we passed legislation for private companies to have lactation policies for all new moms returning to work. With the newcome accommodations, moms should have those to return back to work. What are legislation . We wanted to make it applicable to all, we created a set of standards that can be achievable by everyone. Do you have a few minutes today to give us a quick tour. I would love to. Lets go. This is such an inviting space. What makes this a lactation room . As legislation requires it has the minimum standards, a seat, a surface to place your breast on, a clean space that doesnt have toxic chemicals or storage or anything like that. And we have electricity, we have plenty of outlets for pumps, for fridge. The things that make it a little extra, the fridge is in the room. And the sink is in the room. Our legislation does require a fridge and sink nearby but its all right in here. You can wash your pump and put your milk away and you dont have to put it in a fridge that you share with coworkers. The new standards will be applied to all businesses and places of employment in San Francisco. But are they achievable for the smaller employers in the city . I think Small Businesses rightfully have some concerns about providing lactation accommodations for employees, however we left a lot of leeway in the legislation to account for Small Businesses that may have small footprints. For example, we dont mandate that you have a lactation room, but rather lactation space. In city hall we have a lactation pod here open to the public. So the more we can change, especially in government offices, the more we can support women. I think for the work place to really offer support and encouragement for pumping and Breast Feeding mothers is necessary. What is most important about the legislation is that number one, we require that an employer have a lactation policy in place and then have a conversation with a new hire as well as an employee who requests parental leave. Otherwise a lot of times moms dont feel comfortable asking their boss for lactation accommodations. Really its hard to go back to the office after you have become a mom, youre leaving your heart outside of your body. When you can provide your child food from your body and know youre connecting with them in that way, i know it means a lot to a mommy motionlely and physically to be able to do that. And businesses and employers can just provide a space. If they dont have a room, they can provide a small space that is private and free from intrusion to help moms pump and that will attract moms to working in San Francisco.

Colleagues, i want to say a few words about participants who are. Budgeting. Weve supported projects, 31 being vision zero and 50 general quality of life projects. This year alone, we are supporting another 26 projects funded through our regular atback to the district and in addition to ta money set aside for vision zero and we basically had, think, a Record Number of votes. Again, these are votes from residents in which my office has really no infrastructure to make it happen like the department of election. But of the residents, there were 18,500 votes cast from a total number of 2100 voters. So hopefully youll support this. Madam clerk, i think we can take this same house incall. Yes. Without objection, this ordinance has passed on First Reading. Maam damadam clerk, please cal. Comprised the interim budget and appropriation ordinance to appropriatate all estimated receipts and expenditures for the city as of june 1, ending june 30, 2020, through 2021. The annual salary ordinance to enumerate the preparation ordinance for fiscal years ending june 30, 2020, and june 30, 2021 and the proposed budget of infrastructure, operating as the Redevelopment Agency for fiscal year 2020. Colleagues, can we take these items, same house, same call. Without objection, these ordinance are passed on First Reading and a resolution is adopted unanimously. Madam clerk, please call the next item. Item 10 is an ordinance to amend the code to require the installation and use of telematic Vehicle Systems own order leased by the city and used by Law Enforcement agencies subject to a waiver by the city administrator and to affirm the determination. Colleagues, i know you have heard me talk about telematic over the last few years, probably more times than you would like but i will tell it again. You know, we actually passed some legislation to arm our city fleets outside of the Law Enforcement fleets with what we call the black box telematic and we can trac track and slow downe speed of the drivers and after two years of working with the Law Enforcement departments, we finally came to agreement after many, many, many, what we call what do you call those things . Where we meet with the rank and file and in 2015, i notice ed this as noticed, wewere approvis of payouts, that for all of the lawsuits between 2010 and 2014, the city paid 77,000 in litigation and lawsuits directly related to our fleet and this is unacceptable. Driving a city vehicle is a privilege, not a right. Today, more than 4,000 of our city fleet has the technology. So what were trying to do today is get the rest of the departments to follow suit. So what we found is in some departments, incidents of speeding have been reduced by 66 . Thats a big number. I wasnt expecting more than 10 , but we reduced speeding by 66 . Department have been able to address mechanical issues, such as more quickly because fleet managers are alerted when diagnostic uses appear. Before any employee checks out a vehicle, vehicle part of the mandated training highlights that this technology is installed to all city vehicles. Simply knowing a Monitoring Technology exists impacts driving behaviour whether someone is monitoring or not. This is scientifically proven and the impact of this effect hahas been updated and launched for employees. So i would like to thank the city administrator and her team. For overseeing this programme, creating a dashboard that departments can easily access and use to improve the fleet and for all of the work and the time during this legislation. Now, the biggest difference here is that the information that is fartherred through this technology is confined to each of the departments, like the Police Department and so forth, so just a guarantee that this confidentiality in this and we dont endanger any of our officers. So lastly, i want to thank my cosponsors on this, supervisor peskin and brown and i want to thank my staff, eric mayborn to make this happen and to get us a step closer to our vision zero policy. So im happy to answer my questions, but i would rather just have your support. Colleagues, can i take the same house, same call . Without any objection, then, this passes in First Reading unanimously. Madam clerk, please call the next item. Items 11 through 37, mr. President.

Colleague, can we take this same house, came call . Without objection, this resolution is atonighted adopted unanimously. Madam clerk, can you please call items 41 and 42 together . Items 41 and 42 are two ordinances that amend the health code. Item 41 prohibits the sale, manufacturing of Tobacco Products including Electronic Cigarettes on City Property and item 42 the retail establishments of Electronic Cigarettes that have required and not received an order from the food and Drug Administration approving their markets an markd flavour and ecigarettes that have not received an order approving their markets. Supervisor walton . Thank you so much. I want to make a statement about item 42. Today, we are having the first vote on this ordinance which received full positive recommendation out of Public Safety and nake Neighborhood Services committee. This is supported by the member heart association, the miran heart society, the parents against vaping, our department of Public Health, the San FranciscoYouth Commission and doctors from ucsf who work on the centre for tobacco and control research and education. According to the centre for Disease Control and prevention, the number of middle and High School Students who reported being current users of Tobacco Products increased from 3. 6 million to 4. 9 million and 78 among High School Students alone between 2017 and 2018. At the Public Safety services committee, we heard from parents, unio, youth and doctorn why we should not delay it. We see its new form through ecigarettes. I wont put this over the health of our children and our young people. The ordinance is not a permanent ban. It is a moratorium until Due Diligence is carried out by fda, concerning Big Tobacco Companies like jewels marketing to our youth. Companies like jewel have had three years to submit their product and marketing to the fda. The question is why havent they . And the answer is because they werent to protect their profits, to continue targeting and harming our young people and they know nicotine is not healthy. Ecigarette manufacturers claim this is a harmreduction device but according to the to centre for Disease Control, scientists have a lot to learn about whether ecigarettes are effective for quitting smoking. Theyre not safe for youth, young adults, pregnant women or adults who do not use tobacco product and more prepare are addicted to nicotine who would not pick up a cigarettethis is r working community. This is for our smalle small mes and grocers and facilitating fasttrack permitting processes to help our small merchants expand the Healthy Retail sf programme, to assist the most vulnerable corner storing and expanding support for small mer merchants through Small Business among other ideas and to formalize this group, i will introduce a resolution before the recess to establish the working group and we will be working towards these goals with my colleagues and the merchants represented on the small working group. I also want to remind everyone this legislation would not go into effect until after seven months until the mayor signs and and 60 days after the mayors signature. I hope you support this legislation to protect our young people from being addicted to nicotine and a lifetime of addiction. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor walton. Supervisor fuer. Thank you, president yi. As this policy conversation has been unfolding regarding ecigarettes, we need to take into consideration the full picture, the Public Health perspective as well as perspective from our small grocev. Grocers. They have served as a Community Space for so many residents. As the small grocers and ourselves compete, we need to identify and prioritize strategies to support our small grocers with the input from the small grocers. I hope were able to explore ideas such as happening mer chaptermerchants to diversify offerings. Thank you very much for your leadership, supervisor walton, on this legislation. Supervisor marr. First of all, i would like to thank supervisor walton and Public Health advocate for your strong leadership on this issue. I support to protect union from nick seenicotine addiction. And while i fully support the goals of the legislation, i have struggled a bit with my position on it for a number of important reasons. I am concerned about the impacts of the legislation on Small Businesses, especially our corner store, market and liquor store, many owned by immigrants and people of colour who have in recent years grown more reliant on revenue from the sale of ecigarette products. I think as a board we have a duty to better understand the impacts of this ban on these Small Businesses and to develop a comprehensive strategy for supporting them through this transition. I also want to acknowledge that we have been inconsistent in our application of regulations on various products with various levels of harm. This board passed an ordinance allowing for cannabis use at events that would, in effect, allow tobacco smoking at events. Each as we consider banning electronic Tobacco Products. Weve adopted a Harm Reduction model towards many forms of substance use, including moving towards opening a supervised consumption site and its at odds with our approach here. With that said, i am gravely concerned with the skyrocketingg vaping products. My daughter firefighter med some of her friends in middle school are already users. Im convince ed this existing efforts to regulate these products have been effective and for that reason, for the been of the health of the public, i am supporting the legislation today. Thank you. Supervisor brown. Yes, thank you. I am supporting this legislation today, also. And i sat down with the merchants, the small besmear
