Supervisor chan. Thank you, president supervisor peskin. Colleagues item 56 you will see that the next 2 as well are all 3 items came out of the budget and finance without recommendation for a specific reasons. We as a body this have a lot of questions about the 3 items both in terms of the amendments sdmemgz what lead to the amendments of the contracts for all 3. We we just think that there could be a lot Better Process Better Process. More accountability for all 3 of them. But we understand that just where they are at t this moment. We end up voting it out. I will be in support ever all these 3 items today. It just that i thank you we can all do better in terms of construction contract managements. While also contract management. In general. So. Thank you. Supervisor chan, do you want me to have the clerk read 57, 58 . No. Supervisor safai to item 56 thank you. Chair chan for making those comments we had called for a management on it of the puc and this item in front of us absolutely significant fies why we are doing that. This is 5 years in a 10 Year Contract approves they have blown through 90 of that work. Minutes of contract amendments requested. Some of which they could not submit a full accounting for. This at the end of the day is important work. They are upgrading our infrastructure system it is important for the delivery of the safe, clean water system. I wanted under score and i appreciate the chair highlighting why it went without recommendation and i will support this today but we will be working with the puc on crafting program terse around which management and investigations will take place. Who is here from the puc withhold like to have an opportunity to address what the budget and lithe Analyst Report says and why this came out without committee and why 5 years this adjustment is necessary . This evening we are here virtually joined by streeven robinson on the line and we would be happy to give context that we and walk through a bit in mittee as well. Thank you. Thank you. We described how this contract evolved over time over 10 years xenling up for 5 years now we look at Different Things that changed including the pandemic and increased safety work. And really. It was initialled the work and authorized bayis we had an increased need that is rethinking what the next work would look like and a new contract that might be difference. Some may be in house and im asking this budget and increased time to allow you to rethink this and make sure we are doing the right thing i twoyear period for sick million would give us time to low think on boarding staff and new rfp to replace it. Supervisor chan thank you, president supervisor peskin. Clothes. Basically what we are looking at is 2 additional two year term. With a totality of a toast 12 Million Dollars for the next 2 years. Noted tht 90 of the budget bench was that is including about 53 of the local business earnprize contracts. With this and i think that there is a lot to really think about and to be evaluated. I think that mr. Robinson from puc is during the committee articulated the plan for the next 2 year system to reevaluate this service. Both including in house training for staff. But also tong about moving forward the what that looks like. Do note that while for a 10 Year Contract time is supposed to end 2028 and we are only going to be if approved only approving 2 years. Out of the 5. And then for 12 millions there is no money budgeted. Or approved today for the rest of the 3 years out of that 5. Gives us time and room to come become at budget and finance to think about that the remaining of the contract should electric like or service i should say. Mr. Robinson can you talk about the actual project itself. When we are expecting the plans are going to be finished this is a construction notice and professional Service Contract for 2020. That timing in line with the completion of our largest capitol project this many folks are aware. It is the key project and the most of phase one of the Improvement Program increased budget like you have out of southeast as limp these other Major Construction projects this dominate a majority of pucs plan and had is Construction Management support make being sour they are integrated together. Why when it the expected completion of the project . The contract is the acronyms [inaudible] 2028. Will be a need for on going services. After the 2 years on the contract. Same house same call the resolution is adopted. Item 57 a resolution to approve the ninth amendment to a contract architectural and engine earring service the final design and construction of the central subway project with the design group to increase the contract amount. If not to exceed 55. Upon seven million and extend the term of the contract a year through july first of 2024. With the option to extend the term of the condition transact a year to july first of 25. Effective on june 30, 2023. Supervisor chan. Anything you want to say . Thank you. You could call items 57 and 58 together they both are about 4 essential subway. 58, resolution approving the 13th amendment to a contract surface electronic way system Quality Control and Design Integration with hntb. To increase the contract by a million for a total amended contract amount not to exceed 35. 8 million. And extend the term of the contract for a year a new term through july first of 24. With one option to extend the term for additional year to july first of 2025. Supervisor chan. Thank you. Colleagues the you know the central subway is almost a 2 billion dollarses project. When we are looking here today in both contracts together is if approve them today is for us to approve about 2 Million Dollars. Am which is one Million Dollars each of the contracts. And to give an option of additional 2 Million Dollars again for total 2 million and 1 million each am for the options to extend and thats what the next 2 years for a total of 4 Million Dollars for both contract total. Now. If you look at the whole you know contact about roughly a 2 billion dollars project to close out is close out the design and really the last items like fence happening. Lighting, water mitigations what the contracts will do. We i am not going to nicole and dime sfmta which is what i said at the committee is the reason why i will support it. But the problem also is that even though this only roughly between 24 Million Dollars the problem is that it really are thing this is design work that should have done up front and completed within the existing contract and in the have to come become for extension. Not to have to spend additional dollars. As you know i do believe every dollar counts and every mission does count. Here we and are we are closing it out and some of you miremember this is part of a problem when we open central subway we have a red solo cup as a way to mitigate water at the subway this. Is part of the contract to mitigate the problems. This we see. It is unfortunate but it is something that has to be done. Thank you. Why dont we take these items same house same call.

Lowering the inclusionary housing rights and rusing fees never easy to wallow im glad to see that we are embracing our mandate to do what we need facilitate the production of 82,000 units of housing 46 thousand will be affordable. This is an important step to getting there and the not only one but thank you to everybody and im pleased to add me as a cosponsor to this and 67 thank you. Supervisor chan. Thank you. I am always reluctant top lower any threshold that for us to have affordable how does and i thank you this case that similarly i00ue when we first began the discussion bipercentage and also impact fees, i had concern about lowering the percentage to existing percentage the fact that i think we have narrowed scope of impact in the time line which means we provide a limit to november 2026. Until november 26 and the project that we will be impacted which is that those are under the pipeline. Those are reason. Compromises to boast Housing Production when we need them. I am in support of both ideas tuesday. To say whether this is something we need to continue or will november of 26 that time is in enough. Thank you. Thvenlgs supervisor steph no yoochl thank you, president supervisor peskin i want to thank you and supervisor sa pay and the mayor for having several thousand unit in district 2 im supportive of both the measures and would like to add my name as a cosponsor. This. Appreciate it, supervisor preston. Thank you president supervisor peskin clotheless we discussed these 2 ordinances extensively in land use yesterday i will not go through all the details and remarks again but i wanted offer some brief comments. Thanking president supervisor peskin the Controllers Office and the city inclusionary housing technical Advisory Committee and all members and Community Members who have been a part of this conversation am to date. I think that these proposals are i major policy shift for the city significantly rugs inclusionary housing requirements. And Development Impact fees. And that includes funds that support our muni bus. That help essential workers afford housing in the city they serve and that make our city more liveable by creating open space and green space in the city. I welcome a conversation around what changes are upon appropriate to make to encourage equipment i want to be clear there are an initial factors and everyone agrees that there are a number of external factors the cost of raising capitol. Investor expectations often unrealistic. Supply chain constraints. Things that we all know are the primary drivers limiting new Housing Development. And what i expressed at committee and will repeat here that there is no showing the proposals here will lead to any additional development. In our city. And the controllers report suggest this is it will not. So that said had is clear the ordinances will reduce Affordable Housing. Required on site and reduce crucial dpees also that this will immediately increase lands costs. Will which will make Affordable Housing acquisitions more expensive. When it come to reducing Affordable Housing requirement and rusing impact fees tools that Community Members fought for dkdzs to include that includes a lot of leaders and recognize president supervisor peskin and others who fought over the years it make sure we have those de feos and tools. I view what those reductions as a last resort that need to be done in a limited way with reason to believe will lead to development and accompanied by a plan for replacing those lost units and lost revenue the Affordable Housing revenue. I have not seen showing or such plan. In connection with what is before us today to achieve those goals im sure our discussions will continue on how to meet our how doing and our Affordable Housing goals. As we land a consensus bond measure for Affordable House and efforts. But im not prepares to support the items today. As i believe they will reduce Affordable Housing reduce fees for Public Transit and parks. Raise land costs. All without a showing will boost housing develop enemy our city supervisor walton. Thank you very much. I wanted to note for the record that i am going to support this only because we need to build affordable in areas across San Francisco like in d 10. And these areas projects where they are treed go and because there is a time limit associated with the decreases this are directly related Economic Impact overnight next couple years. I do want to note i will always fight for higher levels of affordability regardless of what is in this legislation i will fight for commune benefits regard will of which is the legislation states. I want that noted for developers there will continue to be held accountability and we still the fight for max levels of affordability. Supervisor ronen. I agree with most of what supervisor preston comments i am support this today. Reluctantly. And primary lowil support it because i think the group lead by president supervisor peskin that brought forward this legislation of a really represent group of people who leaders in Affordable Housing not exclusively but many. And i they are people including president supervisor peskin i very much respected in the forever fight to get enough Affordable House nothing our city for the workforce this needs it. But i do you know in my discussions with you know members of the hack they dont believe that this reduction and inclusionary and other fees will produce the housing. That is frozen we have tense of thousands of units that are entitled but have not been built. For the reasons that supervisor preston mentioned. And i also just continue to think that we dont talk near low enough about this mandate from the state to build tense of thousands of units of affordable with not a dollar attached to it. This entire goal exercise is a farce. Thousand andzs are vaccance and usedar rentals we dont talk about the housing built here the condos are purchased by foreign investors. And never meant to be renldzed residents of San Francisco. It feels like we give in the rhetoric that we dont have enough housing in california or in San Francisco. And that it is because of our efforts to balance and does ascii that return on investment by Big Developers is a boom to everyone. And and so there my reluctance i think the entire discussion about the need for house nothing San Francisco. It is wanting to say the least. And that the housing that we need in the city is housing for working families, housing for low income individuals and the homeless and mentally ill. Housing for restaurant workers. And that housing has to be subsidized our system is broken. And they expected returns for those investments. In i just wish we you know get back to having realistic conversations. And real conversations about what is possible and when is preventing us from building the housing that we need. And the whole thing is frustrate to me. Having said that, you know have all the you know the people say the way to build this is to00 address is to build, build, with no regulation. Dont let them blame the board. Incorrect low the board of supervisors that when we realize housing is stalled we will not low are temp rarely our requirements to pick thumb housing being built again of we are doing it now. The historic not something any of us are excite body but doing t. See what happens. My guess is in the much. But lets see and lets not blame this board of supervisors for all the problem in San Francisco. Like is often done in the media by the Mayors Office, et cetera. Thank you. Thank you. Supervisor chan. Thank you. I justmented to first concur with supervisor ronen what she said about being realistic. I mean look today the california d. Finance released the newest and latest projection of population in california. That just 3 years ago projected at 45 million for the state but now to as of today they say that it will only be 39. 5 Million People in the state by 2060. The question is that are these decision including Housing Development and policies around Housing Development in San Francisco but in california are they data driven or they are pushed boy politics of realtors. And those who profit from Housing Developments . I thank you is a question this we should have. And ask and conversation we should have. Again. I think that i already talked about the fact that i am in support of this because i agree that we should remain open minds today is a debate. See had it does if lower the inclusionary percentage. It is recommended by the task force that partly was appointed by the board. So, we ought to 39 our own advice and see what happens and moving forward. But again the reason why im voting because there is a time limit. So that means we get to revisit it this issue and reevaluate and see what the based on results. But i justmented thank all my colleagues at land use and all your hard work. I wanted let colleagues know on land use and thank you, chair megovern for your work but i will not be in support of any legislation coming out of the land use committee. I will in the be able to passport anything as we continue this bath without time limits. Thank you supervisor melgar. Thank you. Thank you, president supervisor peskin i will be supporting this item. I also have misgivings about decrease our inclusionary percentage, which is when we need the most of to meet our obligation. I will say, though, that unrelated to this i dont believe that we invest enough in our Affordable Housing infrastructure. So we just got through a tough budget year. It is my strong belief this when you are in difficult times in budget deficits when the role of gentleman is is to invest in infrastructure and create jobs to get us out of the hole we are in. If we are going to do that put our money where our mouth is and invest in Affordable Housing development. Inclusionary fees should not be the only source of Affordable Housing development subsidy. I agree with supervisor ronen the states needs to step up the feds need to step up. Thats true we are looking at a bond in march and november. And we can do more, colleagues i hope this we do. I think that you know perhaps d 7 and the west side is in a different situation. Than d9. Supervisor ronen i do thank you we need more housing. And also market rate house and Affordable Housing. Weave have mismatch of a lot of folk who ares seniors and living in Single Family homes who do want top down size. There are few apartments available in our neighborhoods. And you know we do need to make progress on the way we use the land on our side of town. It is Development Patterns this developed over decades and i donning what incentivizing construction and density will hymn. I dont know if it will do the whole thing we are dealing with Construction Costs and supply chain issue and this is out of our control. I will support this. I do wish this in return we got more. And this we got commitment to greater investment in Affordable Housing which is when we need for senior house nothing our side of town. Many seniors cannot afford the subsidized levels that are produced under inclusionary ordinance. So thank you so much and i do plan on supporting this. Thank you. Supervisor melgar and i thank you is a good jumping off point for me to say what i said yesterday in land use. And reminding the trajectory that inclusionary housing had in San Francisco. This was a law advent i think circa 2 where are 01 by supervisor leno. Who was the author of our first inclusionary law for and on site, off site and in lieu, which was then 10 . Of the 10 unit buildinger larger when i left in a good in 2008, receding an economy that number had grown to 15 . I think it was always ment to be a dynamic number in 2012. There was a reduction from 15 to 12 . Which likely was quite well warranted coming out of the Great Recession and i dont agree. What i do disagree with that number was stuck in the chart and frozen. And in good times you could not raise it and in bad times you could not lower it. And in 2016 then supervisor jane kim and the board supervisors went become to the voters. They voted take it out of the charter. And we came up with an ordinance that mandate third degree process to inspectly evaluate what was the maximum economically feasible rate this we could have. We went through that supervisor safai was an actor in what became the inclusionary rates that we have today. That process under the tax legislation would have happened 3 years later but we ran into a bit of a covid emergency. And we were public about that. Controller rosenfield let everybody know that was not the top of our list. And this fall the board of supervisors seated the members of Technical Committee the mayors her member were learningly the same members that presided over the technical process in 2017. I want to thank them for their w as well as controller rosenfield ask our city economist. The results of the century urban study show exactly had we know, which is that the cost construction, enter rates and supply chain, made development more difficult. Those are as supervisor melgar said outside of our control. Dialing the inclusionary rate is in our control this is a significant haircut and move projects not all of them in the pipeline or yet to be proposed. We went on to go beyond what the tax process envisioned to also move in the realm of fee reductions which are significant and are designed to be a temp rare stimulus. This process will happen again in 3 years. And i think we have landed on the right spot. Did not do it arbitrary. I have to say that and i with high respect for supervisor leno pen was what they would bear in 2001. 15 the political market bear in 2007. This now we have become more sophisticated and should be proud of this it is actually based on some real numbers and pro formas and rois. That is the right way for the stele to do that. Do this every 3 years. I want to thank and racquet knowledgean who was accept not in discussions we had that lead to this piece of legislation. Audrey pierson for her very capable drafting. My chief of staff. Sun and he the other individuals from the Market Rate Development communities are Dennis Phillips working and jessy blout as well as from the Affordable Housing Development Communities whitney jones. And peter cohen who were helpful in designing and negotiating the package that is before you today. And with that, i want to also thank supervisor safai who was an army adopter and supporter and the floor is yours. Thank you. Im glad you went before me. So you can give of that history i was going to fill in. The thing i would add that is important for the conversation is you will recall this supervisor supervisor peskin at the table we had a choice to make in 2016 where they gave us a change range of 15 and 18 . Based where the market was in terms of inclusionary we chose the highest rate the market was as strong as it was. With the understanding that when we have the opportunity and would come become and would be a 3 year process. I greet, i think that where this start in the 2001 and now this is a thought out process and looking at numbers and so im supportive today. I like to be added to item 66 in terms of the fee waivers. I think those are the 4 levers i think that are important and i appreciate supervisor melgar for pointing that out. We have the control over some levers. The controller report said this may not have an impact. This with other levers. But fees we do affordable requirements we do in terms of inclusionary transfer taxes and speeding update process we are working on. The mall are projects were not ultimate low impacted by the legislation. And in terms of inclusionary rates and home sf projects i look forward working with the chair special Committee Members if we will impact on the over all economy we had not look at large projects looking at small are ones as well and the empicture they have on upon often mainly immigrant and small builders when that means and the people nawork for them upon with mall Business Owners in the city and how that stimulated the project over all economy.

Set to be completed next year. There are already a couple of new educator Housing Project in thes pipeline. Were as it stands the definition for educator Housing Projectings lives in the planning code. And if we are house holds that has one sfusd or city college employee. Early care educators and professionals in sfusd and city College Hundreds of other licensed Home Base Center prospect vieders ineligible. Early educators other lowest paid in the field. We made investments thank you all for your support in that. They still dont have wage parody leaving them to face issues of housing instability and travel miles away to get to work. I ensure we are looking for ways to provide housing and inclusive given staffing shortages we are faith. Today also i am excited to introduce legislation to establish a first time home buyer loan forgiveness program. Homeownership offers benefits security. Stability and the opportunity to build intergenerational wasnts homeownership is unattainable. The citys latest general plan identifies objective to increased access for communities that have been harmed. Disruption, displacement and bear dwroers accumulating intergenerational wealth this intendses to provide down payment assistance to communities harmed through economic disruption, displacement and marred barriers to accumulating wealth San Francisco can address inequities and access and narrow and close homeownership wealth gaps i thank the human rights sxhigz and the City Attorneys office for work on in and i look forward to your support rest i submit. Thank you. President supervisor peskin. Thank you. Clothes today i will be introducing a hearing follow for upon when we are become in session after the summer recess on our Police Department work to execute a strategy to investigate and arrest narcotics drug deal and target net works as we grap wela deadly fentanyl and Opioid Crisis played out public low on our city streets in broad daylight and often right here in the shadow of city hall as well as the federal build and state building. And i will be asking for the District Attorney to present on her departments role in the strategy and charging and successful low practice cuting the criminals and given mass amount of resources that the budget that we just approved as well as secures support from other levels of government. State and federal resources. I think we are owed an update where we are with taxling what should as far as im concerned be the number one priority for this government. It is no secret that i have been disappointed by the strategy to focus resources on drug users versus the narcotics dealers praying on individuals that are often dealing with other physical and mental issues. Ir hope we Work Together to get this done. Because lives are at stake and i believe this we have the resources and i am frankly tired of hearing that we kent do this because we dont have enough officers if we marshall 100 officers for the delores him or her bomb we can take this on comprehensively.

And finally colleagues i know that there are many commune members grieving overnight loss of a remarkable woman joins manalo her family who are here today. Id like to speak about why she was so exceptional. Leading the Theater Group as well as the upon kearney street workshop. The Arts Organization in the country to [inaudible] studio the love her life allen ma nalo working to support the evolution and sustainability of filipino arts soma fill pino cultural district and the Cultural Center. Joyce was known as a creative cultural worker never in this work to make money. She was a fierce defender of the right of artists and Cultural Workers to make a living wage and never made much herself she was never after wealth borrow working for culture where was an Arts Organization in trouble joyce stepped up. Oralinging fund raising and development, supporting other artists mentoring young up and comers and dreaming up programs including the kearny street work shop and celebrate your body fashion show and feast of fun and he autosoma tick. Joyce was instrumental in shaping the fill pino Cultural Heritage art, ecosystem, staffing shows and events. And recruiting talented to the community. But first joyce was a fill pina born and raised in metro manila and later remember. Forcely proud of herzbergs taj and informed everything she did in celebration and service at this time community. Joyce worked with f ad f the last 7 years from designing and cordinating the pearl lantern festival and the Community Center events to being a part of f ad f executive sdreshth search. Reps with soma and the San Francisco bay area fill pinonern community was marymount through her work especially with fill pino education center.

We hope to shine a light on your legacy the rest i submit. Thank you. Mr. President. Supervisor preston. Refer. Supervisor ronen. Thank you. Colleagues. I will focus today with the introduction of a couple items on the other side of the drug epidemic this is facing San Francisco on those that are suffering. From drug addiction disorder. Today im introducing a resolution recognizing august 31 at international over dose awareness day a reminder of the over dose crisis in cities around the world. And the need for bold action to save lives and turn tide. In San Francisco between january and june the office of the chief m e reported there have been 406 accident drug deaths. 101 accidental over dose deaths more than 30 five in the first half of 2022. As we know from the Media Coverage what is often called the doom spill roll there are schools of thought how to address this epidemic. We bombard by stories, mrauding Homeless Individuals suffering from disorders on streets. And other articles shameless low scapegoating populations to divert tension from failed policy fuelling the drug epidemic. The their tifs do nothing to explain life for the suffering from Substance Use in streets. Nor show the full picture of the impacts that the criminalization only straj has on individual suffering from Substance Use disorder. In this years budget cycle mayor breed had 3 wellness hubs but they are not open and no rfp released to open the cites while we wait i hear from nonprofits as a director result of the increase of criminalization against individuals suffering from the disordon the street there has been a massive increase in the traffic and the ability to receive Harm Reduction service the existing centers. Clointss who utilize say sfpd officers have been taking away Harm Reduction tools from unhoused individuals and citing them for a possession of Drug Paraphernalia despite an exemption under california state law making tlol possess sir inches. Nonprofits are reporting hearing this at an increasing rate, we have heard none of the stories in the media or public pol discussion about drug use. In addition to my resolution im introducing a hearing request to have a public conversation regarding the disturk alpha~gations the chair of Behavioral Health collect committee i will call to the mayor, sfpd, Emergency Management sheriff, public defend and homelessness and Supportive Housing and the department of Public Health to discuss impacts of criminalizing individuals suffering from Substance Use disorder. Result of the time programming on Harm Reduction Service Provide and the impacts on health out come for individuals experiencing this criminalization. I want to thank supervisor supervisor peskin and preston for support of the resolution and the hearing request and i look forward to a deeper discussion in september. The rest i submit. Thank you. Supervisor safai. Thank you, madam clerk. First, colleagues im introducing an ordinance along with supervisor guard fward to bring high Speed Internet to all san franciscans expanding microtrenching a way to lay fiber in communities. In 2017 there was an ordinance to allow for microtrenching. In San Francisco. This legislation did in the advance. But in 2020 the state california passed laws kshgs sb378 that allows localities permit it. This will allow broad band deployment at a low cost to more neighborhoods across our city. More residents work from home and students rely on the internet to complete assignments and families increaseingly stream entertainment, high Speed Internet connection is essential and if we learned anything there were families that could not Access Internet at all. This will greater broad band lower cost to more across the city. More residents thank you. Again thats high speed access for all. Second, am im introducing a resolution to commemorate the 50th anniversary of passing of brew lee on friday at the chien eedz Historical Society of America Museum in china town an exhibit called, we are bruce lee. Hopeful low folks will check it out. Something this we invested in during the pandemic and we have seen fruits of that the other day it was packed. But a bit more about bruce lee. As many of you know he was a world known chinese american marshall artist and actor xreer spanned horizoning kong and the United States. Born on november 27, 1940 at Chinese Hospital in San Francisco and throughout his life a special message to the world and over come racial and cultural stereotypes to achieve that. Credited with promoting hong kong action and helping to change the way Chinese People were fortunate in the American Films becoming a produceir, hero and international flewser the most influential marshall artist of the 20th century bridged the gap with eastern and western culture this past thursday marked the 50than verse of his passing of the actor mark art and i felt icon. I want to thing supervisor supervisor peskin for his cosponsorship and supervisor chan. And then lastly, colleagues. Im introducing a resolution to rename a small portion of mission between santa rows rosa and ~esques cellsior. Many people know the family throughout drug store in the excelsior. A reason why we are putting forward this today is buzz as you know, the status of women founded 7 of the 600 street in San Francisco named for individuals after women. Sos we consider ways to rescue noise this leader renaming the street came to minds. Today her son jerry operates cents roll drug store. Our remaining local pharmacies her history as a business woman and Community Supporter worth taking a moment to discuss. Got a job as everad a soda clerk at central job and met her husband. She and dino bought Central Drug Store and own today for 73 years until her death this year. We look forward to moving this through the process this fall and with that, colleagues. One last thing, im sorry. We want to do memory for wilia gardener. So if we can adjourn in her honor. Mrs. Gardener born in North Carolina to the late herbert and rosea coward dallason. One of 14 siblings. She moved San Francisco at 15. Where she attended girls high school. Continued education and received license to work at for the Metro Insurance company the first africanamerican field agent. She met and married james gardener in 1949. And baby boy was born to this union. She joined Bethel Church in 1959 where she was active in the Lay Organization and served the chaplinful she was a payment in the california conference Prayer Ministry and was known as a prayer warrior did everything to bring hasnt on earth many members called heifer mother love in her spare time she loved music and gardening and attending concert and plays the opera house and golden gate theatre a supporter of the fine arts. I had the pleasure to meet her when i was going door to door. Many years ago around 2007. And told me at that time her highest priority to seat park in front of her home improved. Im proud to say they held myself to this xhirment with many leaders of the community. And working with her in other stake holders in rec and park staff and my staff. And we were as to cut ribbon on may 19th of this year for the final phase of a dog park along with the other envagzs that happened a few years before that. Show had a speaking role at the program and i met her she said i want this p in front of my house renovated before i die. Her name is in the park art work. She advised rec and park on to recognize her activism and commitment to the lake view community. With that, colleagues the rest i submit. Thank you. Supervisor steph nev. Thank you, clothes today supervisor mandelman and i are introducing a letter of inquire tow Public Health. Focusing on the perform of detox and with drawing management providers. I have been hearing. Disturk incidents and one where paramedics responded a call an individual was suffering from alcohol use disorder, alcoholism. We should not be afraid to say that word this person had 26 encounters with Emergency Medical Service teams in june, june alone and consistent low asking for treatment for addiction. On 2 occasions First Responders took the individual who is a veteran from an on sight sewn upper center to with drawl management provider hope to fataility assisted detox. If you know anything it statute toughest drug to detox fro result nothing death over drugs like fentanyl and otherless. Both efforts resulted with the client waiting 30 minutes for guidance and actually not receiving the care to initiate the recovery process. When asked for clairerity coordinatorings said limited staffing ment they could not provide information when services may be available. I find this to be completely and unacceptable and should not be our normal our care are use disorder care enters not turn people away with no guidance and nowhere to go. Again. Especially begin the often short lived window of opportunity that is common with those suffering from addiction. There are so many windows people want to stop we will need a system an individual who needs and wants help over coming addiction can quickly access treatment that started them on the road to recover. Rehab services are open and red to seize the moment when an individual is red to address addictions inside of isolating them to suffer on our streets or at the Sobering Center or where they night find themselves we need our system to be no wrong door. Need to provide services on demand as we have talked about our treatment on demand service.

Mr. President. Public comment is now closed. Colleagues if we can return to item number 19. I have circulated an amendment approved as to form to the annual salary Ordinance Police section and will let me put this in a bit of context. Mr. President , we have member who is have not receive third degree item. I sent it to everybody. E mailed. E mail today to everyone. Let me look here. During of the course of this meeting. Duplicated aso containing Police Department amendment. Colleagues attached is my propose the maam to the Police Section was aso right sizes the Police Department command staff to reduce one of 2 assist an chief positions and 3 of 8 command are positions the ordinance substituted 7. 69 rank and file kwshg 4 positions savings eliminating the position. Sum rise this reduces 10395ft sxeshgs 30490ftes in each fiscal year and add 7. 6924 in fiscal 24 and 8. 3q for you in fiscal 25. And the language is attached and yu did in the get it when i sent it at 4 12 i dont know it is copied to the City Attorney. The clerk of the board we will figure out why it did not go out. Put as a matter of policy. As a matter of policy let me walk you through the numbers we dont have to vote on this today. Continue this conversation and like the board to allow the conversation to continue by voting to amend 19 and we will talk about it in the future. But here is what i want everybody to remember. In fiscal up until reasonable, we had more a staff of 9 keeping with other staff to rank and file ratios. Reasonable our staff grown from 9 to 15. This result in pension linocaine i submit to and you argue that it is not necessarily resulting in better policing. I am not saying that the individuals do not fulfill important functions. I am submitting to you, clothe this is they can and have been done by lesser ranks. Of captains and civilians. But i would like to continue to have that conversation which i have been attempt to have over a number of years and showedum at budget and appropriation to make this pitch i dont want to vote today i would like to continue this conversation. And i say that in light of. The rank of cap aaron increased over that 21 years. We now have 31 captains and used to have 29. We used to have one assistant chief now 2. We had 4 Department Chiefs we have 5. We had 5 commanders now 8. And we have as we all know less daily q2 and 4s than we had the at time when command staff was higher. When our pension liability was lower. And i say that and this is not about the issues that this District Supervisor says i net that since june the 30th the district i representative happens to be grounds zero for tourism and half of downtown. Has not had a captain in either one of the stations. There have been promotions to the command staff. There will be in august promotions to captains and Central Station and northern station will have captains. I find this all to be troubling and you know i have been public i said in the chronicle the day before yesterday. That we can muster 100 officers to deal with the hill bomb but i said earlier in my roll call this we have not been able to muster and comprehensively arrest and charge the liege yons of drug dealers down the street. Im tired of it. That is the proposal. Im sorry upon that this e mail i sent does not seem to hit your in box. Very simply stated reduces 2 assist an chiefs to one and 8 commander to 5. And then subconstitutes 7. 69 q4 in 2024 and 8. 3 in 2025. Supervisor chan. Thank you. I think for those of us been through this process we had this conversation. With our chief and if chief recalls, i know the acknowledge chief bill scott is here with us. I think for those of us been through that and president supervisor peskin was there as well we had this conversation. About you know the command staff the right size and the chief defenltdzed his decision. We talked but know again structure. We have the budget and legislative Analyst Report. Comparing the command staff to other city and whether there th is the right way to go or not. I will say that we had many questions not just to the Police Department to many city departments and is the budget that we voted the second reading on and 10 to one is this the perfect budget. No. I think that all of us would agree is not. A perfect budget of do we all have everything that we wanted . At least i know, no. It did not have everything i asked for. And hoped for the city and that tong where well head next fiscal year i said tough road ahead. So you know while that everybody is wishing us to go on vacation i can guarantee the public that we may be on recess i know i myself and actually colleagues i cant peek for all i believe many of you will be working during recess we know especially the budget and finance and budget and Appropriation Committee will be stick around. We will be think about this budget ahead. It says a lot of work to do. And with that said, i again i appreciate and we had the conversations about when we could shift the resources so we can have rank and file. You know more beat officers and when we do. And is this the way to go . I think that you when we have an agreement and in this case like as a budget chair i had an agreement and feel like the mayor. And her team and city departments we went through a process and vet today. We come to an agreement. And i will stand boy that agreement. At this moment and i am going to do so can we continue this conversation absolutely. Because as im learning in the last couple days we may or may not phase an administration that may or may not make adjustments to our budget this we agreed to and so we are clear the executive branch can make a lot of decisions with this point tomorrow. And you know when the mir signed her budget when she proposed the budget againful during this time the public should not board have no way to intervene in may be with the exception they come to us for accept element what will they over spends or approve contract. Amend the contract. Leverage sure. But i think that in good faith i would urge clothes to think it through and i it is the reason why while i support what is before us today i urge us to continue this conversation and not vote today. And novelty to decide today. And to be able to say, will through it time as we step away and return it september i believe the first will be september fifth. That during this time we think about not just on the Police Budget but the over all city budget, we had a conversation not just about the commands staff. We know that by the way of clothes we know that all the manager positions has over all increased by significant percentages throughout all diameters and you know we need to think about how we approach City Government and whether they will have to be adjustments not just with the Police Departments but with all city departments those other conversations that we must have. And i think we have been having them. During the committee. You know. As the mall will detail wll we wanted allow certain specifications to be from an administrative position to manager position we have upon down to that detail of conversation. Again. This it is not a new conversation for the Budget Committee we had them about shift being the staff to which see more rank and file and had these conversation already. I think that we have been throughout sxresz here we are to nothing out and make this changes. I would like to have were i see this director and, is here if through president supervisor peskin if we may ask director doony help us understands how this amendment would change the existing budget and make this amendment. Im happy but it is cost newt roll a policy decision whether or not we agree that the command staff would be smaller, which would be 7. 69 and however positions i said in the following fiscal year. Go ahead. Good evening. So my understanding you d. Pass the budget on the second reading. And the mayor plans to sign that with all of you tomorrow at 11 a. M. On the mayors balcony if this moves forward in september well be back deciding whether or not the Police Department should have 4 command staff positions and add to the rank and file. People are occupied the command staff positions. So what that means is the department would not longer have the authority by board to keep people in the po sxigsz have to rearrange. Will current leader help at that time. We did ask the chief to come to peek to this if you would like to hear directly. Butt budget will be signed tomorrow. And this conversation is up to you all continue in september or not. To be clear. This would trail the budget and yes f this board voted for it, some commanders would bump down 2 captains that is when this would do. Chief if you want to pipe in . Go ahead. You know im a dock dog with a bone i dont like it then and still dont. Thank you president supervisor peskin. Its not that simple i understand the financial part and from that perspective it is everything is good and even spot severing not good. Listening toior analysis. Policing has evolved the last 21 years and 5 years. Has evolved the last 2 years to meet the demands behalf we are face nothing 2023 zee to have an infrastructure and to disasemble infrastructure it takes to police in a city with challenges. The Risk Management and those jobs are full timions and then some. To push this w down if one of the positions are e eliminated a deputy chief is e eliminated the work that assistant is doing done by a deputy chief. 5 deputy chiefs, violation, administration, airport. And then special operations f. Either does not get done or watered down. That has a multiplying affect the commanders we put this place 3 commanders as you mentioned one commander that went Risk Management and legal administrative internal apars and the management, in the d. Good example of why that was needed just electric at our process for officer involved shootings we do not compares to 2017 before this was created when we have an officer shooting that commander is in charge of a production this is gored toward transparency. We have in my opinion and told the best processes in the country in terms of transparency and and this simple because we have a stopper control and oversight function. Am so. That was a consent decree. Commune engagement another recommend thagz had position now is loaned address just when you just talked about. President supervisor peskin the drug market. And this common laweder is now okay nothing the capacity of rung the command to deal with this issue this we have not been able to get arms around in the line comploin soma with drug deal figure that goes away that goes away. So we put the structure in place what we were doing was not meeting the challenges of what we need to meet and to disasemble that at this time would take that ability away. To me not a smart thing to do what we have been doing and what we have been doing is not meeting the mark. And of now we are on pace to have birth class in the next round everround it takes infrastructure and mroegs e involved one last example in terms of that other inform in the bureau our policy process from 19 noeverto 2 years ago a toast 20dgos redone. Right mull we have 44 general orders in froefsz being resunrised this year. 44. We have done more this year than in 20 years it takes a lot of work and process and a lot of meetings and and Community Engagement to do that you cant do this without people. These positions in place not because this fad or fashion or came out of nowhere they near place because of the need and if we disasemble this staff that need will not be met. And then what, the question and then what. Good ole days were good ole days we had when we had then policing is different than 20 or 3 years ago we are trying to meet the demand with the infrastructure and the left thing on this we deputy and have done a comparison how we stand with departments our size. We are right on parwith everybody else in command staff. There are few that are mauler and larger we are where we need to be that is what the consultant upon this board brought to the city. 3 years ago that is when they said in the property and when they said when they met before the Police Commission our staff is where it needs to be with what is in front of us. Thank you for allowing me it speak. I appreciate it chief scott this exact conversation i want us to all to have. I would submit this. Am which is that there is so much turn within the positions and the command staff and people move quickly from i get used to a cap cane they become a commander and deputy chief the gem you refer to over seeing the tenderloin we are looking for results we have not seen fast enough is a department chief. Turn over due to retimers. People are ready to retire this is why infrastructure is so importantful from a management sustained point and a continuity stand point. When we have to do is create process and good infrastructure and then training the people to be ready for additional responsibility when we have the retirements and that goes from this position im sitting in. Down to whatever position leadership we have if we dont poise ourselves to be able to ash sorb that turn over, and we are not, lone in this turn over. This last 3 years more turn over at the across the board and the executive level of the Police Departments across the country we have seen in my career. There has been more turn over than any of us could imagine mag and i dont think this will change in the best bet to guard against that is put together a solit infrastructure when we are able when we have to make changes we can make them exit will say this. People you mentioned they were ready because we have done that. It etch created the training the opportunity come we can plug people in the next phase are captains promotions coming up and done a lot in the department to get people ready because of the reason you mentioned it will not go, way the trend we are seeing. And not just us. We this is all overnight country and daily we are people are retiring and the executive positions so the next best thing is prepared and have the infrastructure to absorb it when it happens. All i know car break ins in the Northeast Corner of the city every tourist come in are novelty up 10 or 15 . Theyre 300 . I mean if you hear a frustrated supervisor thats what im experiencing and when yesterday a neighbor of mine sent me a photo by his house of all of their worldly possessions scattered in the street this. 374 incidents on the same corn are im like. Yea i want more rank and file cops. Supervisor dorsey. Thank you. I would not support rugs the size of the command staff i am inclineed support continuing this to give the opportunity to keep the conversation going. I think it is general low important when city departments have questions raised about the management of city departments that we allow for the opportunity to answer those questions and revisit them. They are person thing and it is true, important i saw the issues in civil litigation about challenges our Police Department have faced. I was interested when obama launched the task force on policing. I saw the ruand know this a lot of the work that San Francisco Police Department has done is important work and not just for San Francisco but in my view for Law Enforcement agencies that was why when there was know opportunity to work at the San Francisco Police Department i wanted that was where i wanted be. It was important work. I get why there are roles that theory different. I think if a Core Principles allow for conversation to play out. I think we should then and there. It is worth it. Supervisor mandelman. Thank you. I have been suggest thanksgiving or think about this possibility we have made there is in question we made policing less efficient. In the left 10 years. Made policing more administrative and good reasons and good reasons to measure and monitor and over seeing. It does money that you get less per person. I have been looshg at Traffic Enforcement the deupon kline. And i think00ue know as we think about increased concern about Public Safety and property crime. You know we may want to think whether the efficiency trids we made not once we can afford. Ask the float do and how we have them do this not just a conversation about the salary owner or the command staff. That is a conversation about department general ords. We need to start having in ways. Im not comfortable doing it look at 3 positions in the saul row ordinance that said if no , im not going to vote to make changeis dont believe in i dont have a problem with continuing as long as the budget director and controller there is no terrible thing were participating the floor falls out if they dont have a salary ordinance. Intrieshz preston. Thank you. President supervisor peskin. If a major of this body believes there is excess money for command positions in the budget then i would hope them the discussion was broad are then and there whether we should move that money in other Police Department positions. Fairly significant revelation and funny i voted against the budget because of when i view as massive amounts of money. Happy to shrilleda conversation about whether the Police Department budget is too much but will the extend there is too much i dont know the amount. Over a million bucks and you know we heard from Public Commenters food banks cut and we know things in the Community Therapy cut or not receiving the full funding we allmented them to have. I dont feel im equiped vote on this today. I do recognize that policing has changed the last few years and extras it is less efficient. There was a department of justice road map we needed to have a Police Mission on it and voted for the members. And we have you know all said that we passport those changes. I of course back there i have been frustrated with electric of data coming out. I think there is discussions this needs to happen before we do anything like this. I would welcome a discussion the Budget Committee did a lot of work and made agreements. Well revisit tido want more information. I want to understands if there will be layoffs or demotions. Im inclined continue this conversation on september fifth and i also articulate i reserve the right to the possibility having the duplicate file sent become to the committee and having the conversation at Committee Level as well. I want to keep my options open and i the make the motion to continue this item. For september 5 yoochl supervisor chan, i think the appropriate thing to do is there is i million ways to have this conversation. I will introduce this amendment to the budget today. And tell come before the Budget Committee in septemberful full board with take it up later in september. Why you are looking at me like that. What is the process. Rather than i will table the duplicate file. Introduce an amendment. Discussed in committee in september. And then the board will dispose of it as sees fit. You are take the severalty im it is it is the same thing this is a trailing piece of legislation. Will be done as a duplicated file or done as the introduction of an amendment right. Remember that we voted on the budget if i keep a duplicated file the same. Then it goes away unless we amend it here today to continue that conversation. Rather than doing that i will introduce an as oshg amendment as i described reduce it from one 2 to one to 8 to 5. And you will get to have that conversation in your commit eye in september. And figure out the commit eye and come back there you go. Joupds good intrierdz stefani. I have a quick question to the president to the chief. Individuals already promoted and worked for the promotion and relying on these. Explain evolution in policing yu need this infrastructure. And we are short 5 or sick00 officers. I will be inclined be hopeful we fulfill it with the officers. I think we have few core all of us as colleagues understands why people are retiring and why you want to be a police officer. We need to address that issue. They are not just they are pulling them out of thin air. Try recruit and hire more officer and do a support officers so people want to join the profession. Why we are not dealing with rank and file command staff get pay increases retire at that level. Im talking about stability im not talking about q2s, command are and chos and assistant chiefs retire figure you get them if a year it was not a good investment. My friends. Supervisor preston. I want to request that remember the extent you introduce a new vehicle to make the amendments heard in budget of that they be accompanied by whatever instrument would allow us should the Budget Committee decide to do that. To allocate the funds. In other words if you are doing it as oshg amendment i think we can be an aa amendment and look where the positions are. Not if trying to predecides that to the extent you are dog a new intro go to budget that would be my friends low request. Good aftering. Thank you for hearing my frust rayings thank you for coming.

Before the restaurant, before the tshirt shops. At first the fishermen would go out and do the harvesting. They process the crab. It really is industrial. It is fish processors. Its a working, living, breathing place. And its a great place to visit and theres a lot of history. Im a Third Generation italian fisherman. Were one of the oldest fishing families at fishermens wharf. My familys been working here since 1908. My boats called the lovely martha. Sport fishing means when you come out and catch your own fish on the boat. Commercial fishermen come out, catch fish, it gets processed and they sell it to a store. Theyre selling crab off the boat. Theres nothing more fresh than a crab. Our crab are sweeter and better tasting. The meat is firmer. More crab. We love crab. We love the people out on the boats. Theyre awesome. What a good meal tonight. We just barely got down here in time. We would have come earlier if we knew how much fun it was. This is the place to get crab if youre looking for it. Some of these boats have salmon permits. So every boat kind of does a different thing. You can come down here and have wild caught salmon that was just caught that morning or the night before and theres nothing fresher than that. Thats the whole thing of coming out on a party boat. You can catch your own crab, lock cod, halibut, salmon, you cant get that kind of fish. Now the consumer can just buy here if they want to and take it home which is great. Or they can buy it here and take it to one of the restaurants and they can have a glass of wine and enjoy the crab we just brought in for them. Come on over. Its great. Nice and beautiful here in San Francisco and the port. Definitely come. Our fishermen are super excited. Its great to have the public come down here and interact. Its a whole experience for the family, where they bring the kids and interact and say wow, the crabs alive. Its going to claw me and everything. They really get excited theyre coming down here and posting their recipes or pictures of the food. Or their kids picking up the crab. Theyre making a whole experience out of it. It is going to give the locals a part of San Francisco that was taken away from them. Now i have a reason to come back. I had a guy the other day come and say he hasnt been down to Fishermans Wharf in 10 years. He said im going to come down here every weekend.
