Thank you supervisor cowen and supervisor yee for helping with putting this on the ballot were win and make history in San Francisco in november thank you. Thank you supervisor mar supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president and wanted to add my strong support for the dignity fund and echo comments thanking supervisor cowen for her leadership this measure despite it in brainier it was definitely a long trail in terms of even if getting this from start to finish with a lot of dialogue and negotiation sensitivity towards the overall budget picture and the competing needs but in tend were making a strog statement our seniors and people with disabilities are not an afterthought or a group that gets fund when had maishtd available but prioritize support for the seniors and people with disabilities in our budget every year with a dedicated fund this makes all the sense in the world our senior populations is growing and make sure that our seniors and your residents with disabilities are able to be violent members of the community and be at home with full support and to really age gracefully i mentioned earlier in the press conference celebrating this vote today, i want to thank the Dignity Fund Coalition for activity including and embracing the Lgbt Community we have a growing lgbt senior population which is a really good thing particularly because people with hiv are living longer and we need to make sure that we are meeting the unique needs of lgbt seniors weve gone through a long planning process in terms of policy recommendations to meet the needs of lgbt seniors and gradually doing that including the legislation later today about the clients of our social services but the inclusion felt Lgbt Community and the Disability Fund in the coalition is much appreciated thank you. Thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor tang. Thank you first, i want to start off by thanking supervisor cowen and supervisor mar and supervisor yee, of course, the Dignity Coalition for all the important work on this measure unfortunately im not able to support this measure not has nothing to do with with the fact im the youngest member of the board but in the general policy to not support the baseline not backed by Revenue Sources so this is consistent with how ive not supported the transportation baseline for example, in recent times and the most recently passed parks set aside not that i dont support any of the important issue areas but to me i do believe in having that conversation comprehensively with all the Budget Priorities in San Francisco but i will continue to and have as a member of Budget Committee support funding for our Senior Community whether in the form of providing support at home or in the form of groceries deliveries and meal deliveries whether this is in the form of other services again, our seniors need so again want to explain why im not able to support this particular measure today but thank you to everyone that worked on it. Thank you supervisor katie tang supervisor yee. Thank you supervisor president london breed ill stand for this just to show im not that senior. So first of all, i want to thank my colleagues supervisor cowen and supervisor mar for working with everybody other than on the board of supervisors to Work Together and work with the dignity fund advocates i have to say that for 4 years ive gone through 4 budgets and every single year ive been here ive fought for interesting services for seniors and people with disabilities and getting frustrated every year knowing is it so not enough for the population that we have today and for us to project the numbers that we will see in the future and not do anything about it operationally is really a disservice to our seniors and people with disabilities i earlier today at the press conference outside i had a little badge that said age to perfection age to perfection and some people that drink within might think what is he talking about wine when you age to prevention you have to take care of your bottle of wine yeah. One reaction or we could say wait our seniors our seniors city our seniors need to age perfection and we have to love and take care of our seniors you have a bottle of wine out there not being taking care of and it get appealed is it so no good anymore thats a lesson for us for people that are wine lovers we need to take care of our seniors better than a bottle of wine come on this is beyond a piece of legislation but something i care about for a long, long time in terms of seniors and people with disabilities and im happy to be the cosponsors and hoping that the rest of the my colleagues alyssa and the other 9 vote for it and weve been successful in november thank you very much. Thank you supervisor yee and as a fellow wine lover i do understand so thank you for the analogy supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president london breed i want to thank my supervisor cowens has been leading the advocates i remember the first meeting in any office its been a its been a Long Time Coming and much has been mentions our population is growing in age right thing to do i want to thank everyone for borrowing this measure thats what im talking about so thank you very much and look forward to seeing it passed in november. Thank you supervisor farrell supervisor campos. Thank you supervisor president london breed im not sure about the wine discussion ill say im proud to add my name to the measure and thank you supervisor cohen e supervisor cowen and supervisor mar and supervisor yee and everyone that is part of this Broad Coalition i respect the perspective that folks have about the set aside and perhaps in the that have world we would not have set aside well automatically fund the things that we need to fund that hadnt happened in the past of San Francisco thats why we as City Government made choices and the same choices that families make sometimes you put money aside to make investments and one of the things we have invested in the Childrens Fund we take care of children in San Francisco well, if he do that for the youth we have to do that for other seniors and the disabled community thats why we have to support this about having a level of dignity that people can live under i know for a fact hike in mission and the brets and so many of the seniors are struggling we live in the most sxeven city in the world and in the countrys we have to make San Francisco prioritize our senior and disabilities communities im proud to be part of that effort. Thank you supervisor campos. Supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president there is no question there is a need you have Great Respect for the advocates and understand the concept of the dignity fund i rise to be consistent with the notion that we as legislators have been charged with making the tough decisions how to predicament our existing funds there is an limited amount of resources i will stand against set aside by not having the funding so unfortunately, the need notwithstanding the right Public Policy ill be consistent with the relative to the open space and parks set aside i was clear with supervisor avalos ill not support this advocate position that has a set aside and the District Attorney it is the easy way out unfortunately oil be voting no on this measure. Thank you supervisor peskin. Seeing no other names on the roster, i want to say quickly thank you to all the members of Dignity Fund Coalition including did fearless leader sandy and raymond that are cochairs and arbitrarilycy and others i know we work hard to try and come up with the right formula every single and theyre in the hauls of city hall to insure the board of supervisors prioritize seminars on a regular basis whether it is an important food program or housing or assistant Living Services all of those services make such a difference in a persons like that life that doesnt have the ability to do the things we take for granted we have to make sure we fully fund the programs that serve our seniors that is a small way and as someone that was raised by a grandmother and utilized those services i dont know how i would have made it without inhome care support or meals on whos also are all the great programs that continue to help and support seniors so they can grow in dignity in your or theyre concentrated homes and seeing no other names on the roster, madam clerk call the roll.

Thank you supervisor president london breed colleagues im not sure that is actually, the best moment to be voting on the budget since we have other measures that are before us later on on the agenda that the budget is contingent on passing i believe that we should actually settle our issues around revenue measures first before we actually start approving the budget or else well put cart before the horse you know how well the cart goes well do that id like to see if we can refer this to later in the agenda with the revenues issues that are attached to the budget. Is that a motion. Second.

To amend the Environmental Impact for other specified products with packing materials made from poly styrofoam materials for the ceqa determinations. All right. Seeing no other names on the roster, colleagues, can we take that same house, same call . Without objection this ordinance is finally passed unanimously. Next speaker, please. Item 31 was referred without recommendation from the Land Use Committee and transportation for the planning code to create the 100 percent Affordable HousingBonus Program to provide for the bonuses and zoning modifications to establish the procedures for this type of project to have the height limits and the zoning maps for the zoning department. Same house, same call . This ordinance is passed unanimously next item. Received from the rules Committee Item 32 was a chart fifth draft to amend the charter of the city and county of San Francisco is require the department of elections to hold an election when there is an office empty unless a regularly schedule meeting to provide the mayor should appoint an intern supervisor to fill a vacant with the discerns intensify supervisor is i think eligible to vote in the protective offices within 28 days of the vacancy in november election. Supervisor avalos. Thank you supervisor breed and colleagues we want to commend encourage our support for this Charter Amendment a couple of times before and the real intent for democracy and weve heard about our democracy here in the United States is based on the separation of powers and thats what f this measure does were part of board of supervisors were part of legislative part of government i want to make sure our agency as elected officials on the board of supervisors remains the legislative branch and not out of you executive branch the checks and balances we grew up with and respective that somehow in San Francisco we have something difference than the checkbooks than any other city in the country with the exemption of the colorado governor makes appointment to fill appointment in the denver city Attorneys Office and the mayor of philadelphia to fill vacant but according to the local Agency FormationCommission StudySan Francisco is the only place flat administratively branch the mayor didnt serve on government so this is the basic amendment that will sure that were not kevin the power on the appointees and have a full pledge process having elections to fill vacancies this is something that weve seen in recent years when the appointments were made to the board of supervisors that these appointments can be divisive for the district where elections are held and rather than have that defyness so colleagues id like to encourage our support and welcoming comments. Commissioner tang. Thank you thank you. Ill make similar comments i agree with one portion of that measure before us the requirement that the mayor should appoint someone between 21 days is a good thing so this is something ill stand behind however, i do believe that what we currently have so for fulfilling the vacancies it is current not perfect but as written our policies law for 3 deadlines for possibilities when a vacancy needs to be filled and in my case i was appointed and had to run for office within less than seven months and had to face another election in november i ran for office twice westbound two years after an appointment secondly, i point to our recent histories in the existing mayor, mayor ed lee when was he appointed someone to district 5 in 2012 who lost to our current president commissioner borden and that was an appointment made and next my mate supervisor cohens overcame the appointment in the last november location of 2015 one mayor had a 50 percent success rate we have in place works so i know this measure was put forth it is a more democratic process i ask you is whether it is democratic to appoint someone for a short duration of time that will be prohibited from running in a subsequent election to be taking votes with real votes with impacts and subject to more pressure from the mayor it is a mayoral appointee and no impacts because that person had been leaving and not be subject to confirm by voters in the future Something Else i find undemocrat inningic this person will be in wont be held to the responsibility of the constituents; right . We dont know if this person will be as responsive to the complaints that come into the office theyre not behoven to any election that will be following the other point this person whoever is going to be running in the election to fill the permanent vacancies will be an election whether there are not other measures allowed a special election unless a provision amended into the Charter Amendment if one one and 80 cases without any other measures on there any other offices to be on there the person that will be phil the vacancies will be elected by a small voter turnout as an example in any first right of refusal election there was the searer recorder the treasury and 4 ballot measures on the City Attorney the turnout important that general election in november 2013 was 2329. 3 percent in San Francisco i have concerns well be possibly or potentially looking for low voter turnout so i find many portions of this measure very undemocratic i believe this is something we have this actually works given the fact that one mayor had made 4 appointment and two lost theyre concentrated elections and lastly ill point out that that actually, the last thing madam chair rosales referred to actually found that 63 percent of jurisdictions engaged in other categories meaning that there wasnt any appointment bit an individual or group no sort of consistent practice by other jurisdictions how they vacancies so ill not support this i believe our current process works so no charter measure to fix something that is again is working. Thank you supervisor tang. Supervisor eric mar. I disagree with any colleague supervisor tang and support Good Government like proposes to supervisor avalos im the cosponsor because friends of ethics the late to larry bush and others including the civil grand jury go limiting the power we know that is so powerful when people are running for elections but it also prevents the temptation for unimaginable deal making behind closed doors and wanted to say that the lafco study that madam chair rosales did this shows an a mostly we have basic democracy and basis process a Good Government a nobrainer i urge support. Supervisor farrell. I have a topic the event i thought that supervisor tang was on point that Charter Amendment is a surgeon problem and building the system works well is it so as democratic as it gets and banning people from running from office is not what we should be doing at the board of supervisors im not support it. Thank you supervisor farrell. Supervisor campos. Thank you supervisor president london breed and i appreciate the dialogue probably some things not having some place run im not sure that make sense but i do think on balance the idea of balboa the power of the inclusive relative to the legislative branch mines there is a measure of a ballot to recall mayor ed lee and im against that measure i dont think recalls some should be about undoing elections but acting in malfeasance and anyone that is unhappy about this mayor or any mayor for that matter is doing the job the answer not 0 recall something not engaged in malfeasance but make changing to the structure of government so there can be a balance i think this kind of a measure is one of the types of of reforms that brings balance and can address some of the concerns that people have raced it is true that it has worked in some cases with supervisor president london breed and with supervisor peskin but i do believe that the appointment by the mayor is something that is unique and very unusual and welcome to San Francisco the vast majority of jurisdictions dont have this the invested power to invest in the voters to from any perspective when in doubt from the voters elected officials im going to error on the side of giving the voters of ability to select the person i respect the perspective but i want to thank supervisor avalos for bringing up this item forward. Supervisor peskin. Thank you, mr. Chair i concur with the facial statement that supervisor tang and supervisor campos made relative to the raise that supervisor breed and i ran and, yes i think cust customcy that really is about the operation of powers if you look at what happens in those race or so where the executive branch of government is invested in having taser appointed incumbent it e roads a Fair Election and it ma ways e roads the integrity i integrity of government i dont want to rehash old history and gracious in defeat but this government behaves like last summer and into the fall it is exactly an argument for the separation of powers had an appointment to a Vacant Office in the case of district 3 to the vacancy when chiu was elected total assembly all that behavior and the trappings would not have occurred whether that was the appropriation of funds, to support the appointed i think incumbent or Political Behavior in the election where subsidies including did employees of inclusive branch taking time off or on the boxes that bother wouldnt have happened and bring a real free and fair protection i stands down with that Charter Amendment put that before the voter and let the voters decide. Supervisor breed. I just want to make a few comments i think outside the box i want to, of course, society when i comments with the comments of commissioner chung i think that everything she said was spot on anyone has a reason to take away the power from other mayor it is definitely me made a good appointment in district 5 i choose to run as well as other people in the district and the voters made theyre concentrated decision ultimately supervisor cohens is right in his comments same at the same time but politics is a sad game and whether the mayor can appoint it is stilt at dirty incapable at the end of the day this is it is a perfect process but it is a process that has worked for many, many years. My two biggest concerns he agree with the fact that the 28 days requirement is a good one but the issue i have with that particular legislation is the fact i believe that is urban democratic to tell someone if you the seat you cant run for the election i have a problem with spending nor money on a costing election we dont need to do that no process is ever going to be perfect and oftentimes were making changes to policies like there are unintended consequences someone will not liquor if it this passes by voters and in the process begins to take shape theyll be complaints and people that are probably wanting to come in and change that process because for some reason may not like the decision the mayor or people like there is disagreements and making a policy just as undemocratic as the mayors appointment not a step in the right direction so ill be opposing this item thank you. Supervisor peskin. I wanted to say for the record the term loimentsdz are constitutional and upheld by the voters theres no difference between what is proposed in supervisor avalos amendment a term limit we live under. Thank ysupervisor peskin. Supervisor avalos. I want to think of different ways to look at this thing or changes in the lay or the existing law about appointment and theres nothing ideal and things that work all over the place dont work but what didnt work in 2012 when chris tone was appointed to the board of supervisors she was forced to vote on things and there were serious consequences in the administration wanted her to do that i submitted alternate engross receipts tax she supported any version that was challenging the mayors gross of receipts take the Mayors Office came down on her like a ton of bricks that happens acquit frequently with the supervisor i believe go when it came time for her election the mayor was not supporting her we get a process that has supervisor peskin said e roads rips and e roads Good Government orthodontist we have an election this year the if either one of the people running chamber that will be equivalent the seat will be vacant if we dont make changes to the law will be unelected and serve for to years that didnt seem democratic i think we have at the opportunity to put forward rules that are about the separation of power and trusting government colleagues, i urge our support thank you thank you supervisor avalos madam clerk call the roll on item 32. Supervisor farrell no supervisor kim supervisor mar supervisor peskin supervisor tang no.

Supervisor wiener. Thank you very much madam president colleagues this is an issue we have discussed many, many times since ive been on the board and a topic the discussion San Francisco for nearly 40 years back to the late 19 san jose the complete budget process to fund our urban forest specifically here our one and 5 thousand street trees San Francisco rather than fund this Critical Infrastructure and our city trees improve the environment and the health and quality of life in our neighborhoods the city has for almost 40 years neglected this critical asset and instead what San Francisco has done our city to dump responsibility for street trees on the adjacent Property Owners for these adjacent Property Owners to care for the trees who they planted or want the trees or know how to taken care of the trees to affiliation broken sidewalks caused by the trees and theyre concentrated roots and to be liable and this requirement is dumped on Property Owners whether they person the the ceo of a fortune 5 hundred or a protecting councilmember sharp living on Social Security and this is unfair to Property Owners and guarantees well have a deteriorating urban forest and in fact, we have a shrinking urban forest weve learned over 40 years trees dont farewell in the budget process not extradite against critical needs Like Public Health and Youth Services since ive taken office for almost 6 years now ive been working closely with friends of universities with our Planning Department with the public works with viral groups with park and neighborhood groups with various Property Owner groups to try to kracht an actual solution to actually solve this problem and thats what we have before us today a measure that will actually solve the problem not kick the can down the road not require the city do something without funding that is simple that requires it mandates that the city and county of San Francisco take back all one and 5 thousand street trees that the city be responsible for maintaining those trees that the city be responsible for maintaining sidewalk damage caused by this trees which is the elsewhere overwhelming majority of the damage and this measure creates dedicated permanent lockbox funding to actually discharge this responsibility if we require the city to take back the trees without the dedicated funding the result will not be a surprise the trees will not building accurately take care of so this provides the lockbox funding be a might have parcel tax where small Homeland Security are pay little and commercial officers or owners will pay more and sets aside a department of the Emergency Management funding to the charge for this responsibility this miff this is years of progress between myself and the friends of the urban forest and the department of public works i we dont have a list of community motions weve attended to present but not surprise any if it exceeded one hundred we held multiple large stakeholders round tables late last year and early this year for feedback and craft a solution we came up with a solution working with our neighborhood groups and environmental groups with friends of the urban forest and with the parks groups and various Property Owner groups the Apartment Association and the small Property Owners and the realtors to make sure that everyone was at the table we have this today a well vetted and crafted fair progressive measure that will shore up and invest in our urban forest in San Francisco i hope that we will send this measure to the voters i was optimistic that we were going to have a majority of support for this measure i was existed about day there are a lot of people in the neighborhood in San Francisco who are existed with we have the opportunity to fix this problem people are really existed about this in neighborhoods throughout the city today at that moment im confident we have the votes to place this on the ballot so colleagues he move that we continue this item one week so we can continue the dialogue and i hope have an opportunity to send this important and thoughtfully measure to the voters so the voters can decide whether to solve this problem once and for all. Thank you, supervisor wiener supervisor avalos and. Thank you. I want to thank supervisor wiener for his great work on putting together the parcel tax about trees and creating tree fund that is something that i have been watching and hoping with heavy since 2009 when we decided person going to start of Relinquishment Program giving the homeowners responsibility for the trees in front of theyre concentrated homes i drafted any own Charter Amendment he did so i felt that we have so many revenue measures going to the ballot there is a parcel tax the City College Board of trustees put forward i dont know that make sense that we load up the ballot with competing i think that is the case xooets revenue measures thats what we have with the parcel tax to parcel tax quoting what is more important city college or trees well it is hard to say because it is super important but another tax on the ballot a bonds in the Unified School District for things well put the sales tax and a real estate transfer tax on the ballot suddenly it looks full with a lot of things and voters are being asked to do a lot so we can do a lot of good work and craft good policy but when it comes to voter approval that is not a sure thing i think with that with our budget well be voting on today so i am also considering that we move tree measure forward to take that responsibility for trees back to the city leave it dont leave it up to Property Owner and Property Owners to be decide when they vote this november. I think outside the box as worthy thing we cant load up the ballot with that many revenue measures and in overall the decision should have not been made not decide to move this burden i dont use burden when it comes to tax measures but a burden on pertains we require them to take care of the trees they didnt plant in front of theyre concentrat homes. I like supervisor wieners measure we dont a good job work with the folks and the urban Forests Council and the neighborhood groups but i dont think that it make sense to move this all the other measures Going Forward despite how well, that was put together and ask that the utilize the carbon tax in anticipation for the support of tree program get called and continued one week as well with the parcel take the trees the Charter Amendment for the trees and this tax its the utilities tax. M call item 59. Yes. Ill turn to 59 without recommendation for the ordinance amending the business tax code to impose a utility tax on persons using the Electrical Energy into the city equal to 2. 5 percent for the exemptions including an exemption for persons using Electrical Energy from certain Renewable Energy resources and utilities tax on persons using gas in the city for 2. 5 percent subject to the appropriation for november 8, 2016, at an election to be held. Commissioner lee has made a motion to continue item 33 to the meeting of july 26th seconded by supervisor tang and supervisor avalos has made a motion to continue item 35 and 59 to the meeting of july 26th is there a second. Seconded by supervisor mar supervisor avalos any further comments okay supervisor mar. I wanted to say i support the continuance to give us time to look at the measures im not sure how much the carbon will raise supervisor wiener has made a progressive fax but all the items on this commissioners, on that motion November Ballot how theyll impact each other i think that allows us that time to think about the fund streams he know that the friends of the urban forest have a progressive tax im one should from supervisor yee and supervisor avalos how the funding stream jive with the need for relinquishing the trees and the expanding the citys urban forest and campus that the friends the urban forest and supervisor wiener have advocated for for years im looking forward for the discussion of next week i believe that supervisor wiener mentioned that keep that in mind the tree canopy as mayor newsom began years ago was important we really lapsed in how we doing it and moving forward as a city is critical i want to say im looking at how the various parcel tax and others what about more progressive not putting the burden on small homeowners and Property Owners or rent in the city thats why i feel that madam chair rosales has progressive values with that and hoping the carbon tax has o considerations im supportive of continuance. Thank you supervisor mar and supervisor yee. Thank you supervisor president london breed. First of all, i really want to thank all the supervisors that have been involved with that discussion in particular supervisor wiener. And i will i agree with those that thought we made a bad move in 2009 when the city decide to relinquish the trees to Property Owners almost 4 years thats all i hear why is this done i cant afford is a so on so thats why ive introduced legislation for us to consider for a regular process of legislating to take over the trees as soon as possible with temporary funding and so finding a Revenue Source to take over the trees for the long run is important to me but at the same time im stuck about how to balance all of this i think many, many of the revenue measures that we are suggesting that the voters look at in in and of itself or by itself has a lot of merit but when you start putting them together and Something Else has already rattled off the tax measures how much do we ask our citizens to take on at this point i know i wont be supporting all the revenue measures im trying my best to look at which ones i may support that can do as itch as possible but this is a tough call for us i think every single one of us to support every single revenue measure well put on so for me great continue it but at the same time, we vote for the rest of the agenda items and see what we pass out ever hear i will take into consideration in regards to whether or not a particular revenue measure that we might want to put on the ballot actually be enough to fund some of the things were asking is to be funded. Thank you supervisor yee supervisor wiener. Thank you madam president i look forward to the dialogue over the next week peculiar i do just want to clarify a few things first of all, in terms of tree Relinquishment Program i thought it phase was in 2011 or 2009 was recent that was not the defining of a reliberty program the city has been dumping trees prosecute that lasted phase a majority of street trees in San Francisco were the responsibility of pertains so what started 5 or 6 years ago was a terrible and irresponsible Public Policy towards street trees in San Francisco and if i thought we could just urban do what happens 5 or 6 years and that would be ill support supervisor yees public works Code Amendment but i know and you know i think everyone in the city knows that is not what will happen this is been going on for 40 years almost 40 years with the city withdrawing its will basic responsible of caring for street trees thats why friends of urban forest was created in the 19 San Franciscos so for the irresponsible step by the city and county of San Francisco an irresponsible step not reversed but sledder over 40 years and telling the voters or public well pass legislation or after we pass the Charter Amendment requiring the city to take back the trees and sidewalks it is a false promise it is telling the voters well do that we know that is not going to happen yes people will no longer be frustrated they refs a notice to take care of the trees but frustrated why that tree is dying in front of my house and the sidewalk is pushed up where is the city you know what theyll look at the budget and see the small amount of money that the board of supervisors and mares are employment for the care of the trees it is absolutely a false promise to the voters of San Francisco we work hard and such a projected manner to come up with a responsible manner to take back the trees and sidewalks and created dedicated lockbox funds so not happy again dimming trees and our urban forest to day. Thank you, supervisor wiener and we know that before the board that are 3 measures with regards to trees i hope that each the authors of those particular measures come together and draw one conclusion to make sure we dorpg in regards to the very important issue ill be supporting the continues 33, 35 and 59 to the meeting of july 2016 call the roll.
