Colleagues for honoring the past and allowing us to hear, some of the words spoken at the inago ral meeting of this chamber. And now it is time for our 12 30, come m commend commendations and i would like to yield the floor for the u. S. Senator to agabegin. I hope that you can hear me. Thank you very much madam president for this treat. And you know, that it is a very emotional time. I think when we come back here. I remember the nights and the monday afternoons we remember the struggles with harvey rose over the budget. We remember Great Division of our city. And i hope that we have all profited from that learning. And that it does not forge himself up to the battle front of our nation. But what i wanted to do here today, was acknowledge those people who are here. Who served during that time. Who i regard with great fondness and respect. And particularly clinton cox, that goes for you. Bobby mendelson with whom i have known for a long time, louis who took my seat on the board of supervisor and became city attorney. And has gone on to many good things. Carroll silver. Who during the white night riots unfortunately took a rock in the face and bears that scar to this day. Billy maher who always stood tall and always had something to add to the discussion. I spoke last night with jack mulanari who could not be here today. He was board president during much of my 9 years as supervisor. And he is traveling and he cant attend hi would also like to recognize don heranzy who was almost a supervisor. And john fargus who was. Thank you very much, madam chair, madam president. Thank you, senator. And now i would like to acknowledge our state senator mark leno for a special commendation. Thank you madam president. We are celebrating this centinnial as beautiful and magnificent from the walls and to the elegant and the ornate ceiling and to these extraordinary chandaliers which were actually taken down and put into storage to put up modern light ins and they were in fact, well stored and put back in place during our late 90s Historic Restoration and renovation. And seismic retrofitting. But that is those who have served and the public becomes to these chambers, on a regular basis, that make the value of this beautiful room. So it is a real honor, and privilege not only to have served here but to be back with all of those who have shared that experience as i have. And i just want to close by making recognition of that photograph. That president breed mentioned in her opening comments. It is a moment in time and we have just restored that moment of time. And there will be those looking back on it. But if you have a good look at that photograph, hanging on the wall outside of the chambers you will notice that there were 18 numbers, of course, not the 11 that are there now. And newly elected because 17 of 18 numbers of the earlier board had been indicted and jailed as a result of the corruption at the time of the rebuilding of the city. But you will also see that it reflects a very different San Francisco. And it is almost entirely, if not entirely, caucasian and it is almost entirely or several the board, all male, but even in the public gallery, there may be two or three ladies with their hats on. But otherwise, all male. And if you look very carefully in the front right row, you will see two dandy gentleman looking straight into the camera, i am convinced they came together. So we now refresh that photograph and that moment in time and we see a very different San Francisco and i know that we are all very proud of it. And the recognition of the city tla i love and i know that we all love, it is a real privilege to be able to present a resolution from the state senate, recognizing this extraordinary occasion. And wishing our dear city greater and greater days up ahead. Thank you. Thank you, senator. And so before i turn it over to assembly man, david chui and thank you, senator for recognizing the occasion, and how far that we have come as a city. I would also like to also open up the floor to our honored guests here today. There were special commendations that were brought to the chamber here, but i would also like to recognize that there are probably words that many of you have and i will recognize you after supervisor i mean, assembly man, david chui. And thank you, madam president , and as i look out on to the sea of faces representing generations of leadership in our city, what a cast of characters. And none of us look a day older than when we first stepped into this chamber. And i know all of us are experiencing intense and fond memories of our time here in this chamber. And the 2 a. M. Sessions, the ordinances that we pass, and the fights that we have here, but i think that we all know that despite any differences, we may have had, this space magic happened in this space. And when we have come together around our shared San Francisco values, as goes San Francisco so go california, so goes the rest of the country, and the rest of the world. We start Political Revolution here in this chamber. And so it is incredible honor to be part of this body and because there would be no moment that would not be appropriate not to have a large commendation from the california state legislature, we have nine whereas clauses and i am going to read all of them at another time. But on behalf of the California State Assembly, congratulations to 100 years of great history and here is to 100 great years of a great future. And with that. Thank you. And i want to hand it off to my colleagues. Yes, assembly man phil tang. Thank you it is so great to join my colleague, david chui and to be back in this amazing chamber and this incredible building, it is sort of breath taking. We spend a number of days in the state capitol, but i know that the state capital frankly has nothing on the chamber, and it is incredible when i think about all of the work that has been done by this body. We are a city of policy innovators and in the board of Supervisors Chamber right here, is and so many ideas just in recent history that have come out, whether it is around, universal health ka irfor san franciscans and whether it is about banning plastic bags or whether it is about pushing our clean energy economy, they have started right here. And i am so proud to be a san franciscan, and so proud to be able to join you here today. And again, s just incredible congratulations on 100 years of amazing history and look forward to seeing all of the great things that come out of this body in the years to xom. Thank you very much. And with that, harvy rose who is your favorite supervisor . Does anyone or any of our former board president s, would you like to say a few words . Thank you, madam president. And members of the board of supervisors, and fellow san franciscans. There are at least two sentiments which come to me, at this moment. And it is natural to reflect on human beings, who have been a part of this structure. But, i recall relevantly, my one time seat mate senator finestein who i will refer to because of the occasion as diane. Remarking, not once but several times on the grandure of these chambers, the architecture, extraordinary in every way. And secondly, i am reminded of a bromide conveyed to me, before i took the solemn oath of office by a colleague to be reflected interestly in one of the comments on october 9th, 1916 by then a member of the board of supervisors. But the colleague in my instance whats Bob Mendelson who bestowed upon me the injunction of maintaining dignity, and decorum. And that injunction was sorely tested from timetotime. And as diane and bob and carol ruth and others can call to mind. This indeed is auspicious and i am just thankful that i am a part of the 100 years of common ration of performance of duty to the people of San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you very much. Are there any other members passed members of the board of supervisors that like to provide me comments at this time . Supervisor mar . I want to say it was a great privilege and i thank you. If you could speak into the microphone, please . Okay, thank you. Supervisor aliodo. Thank you very much, madam president. And senator finesteine and sitting in these chambers i have to recall the fights that we had for the issues that are so accepted today as the norm, sitting right there where da sid is was supervisor doris ward who was incredible and she and i worked so hard together to do the hate crime legislation, that today we expect to be the norm in our policing of the city. And then i did the smoking ban and then i think that supervisor mar will remember i lost that first one. Carroll my remember that i lost that first one. I walked out of these chamber doors and i said, to my legislative aid, go and get me a cigarette, i need it badly. Get me a smoke, quick. But i couldnt believe that i lost, it was in fact, building on what supervisor wendy nelder had started in the restaurants and so we had the Great Innovation here. Of course we went back two years later and we passed the first smoking ban in the world, i might add, with the vote that went worldwide. Indeed the mayor of dublin called me last year to thank the city of San Francisco for the first smoking ban. So when i look at these walls i think of the Amazing Things that we have done that saves the lives of people every day, from the homeless, to the sick and the poor. And it is just an affordable room for what it stands for and what all of you who were the legislators, here, have done for this great city of San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor. Well, i followed in andria footsteps and i worked on a different kind of smoking, if you might Pay Attention to what is happening on the ballot. Two things again, i want to acknowledge and under score, what supervisor compos mentioned and that is the legacy of harvey milk and of course, our late mayor george, and we suffered through that storm and i think that we all bonded in a way because of that tragedy. In a way that we did not know that we know each other. And i dont think that can be forgotten. We share that history. And i also want to thank harvey rose for not eliminating my position, which he threatened to do at every meeting. And i also would like us all to remember my good friend sue beardman. Thank you very much. When when i got elected i was as tall as kevin chilly. And look ad what eight years did. It was such a treat to be in this room for of the eight years, four of them we were across the street. So we only had four years here. And i so wanted to be able to stand up here when we moved back to just greet everybody. Being back what i called home. I guess i have been known for rewriting the charter. That happened so many years ago. And there have been six or seven attempts at it. And i was happy that i was able to do it. But i could not have done it without a tj. Tj. Tj. I draw a blank. I could not have done it without tj and i see in the audience jim lazarus, and those two people well, jim new more about the city than anybody that i knew. And i would like all of the colleagues that i worked with and it was really a pleasure, and i am so glad that i am not in politics any more. Thank you very much. At this time i would like to acknowledge reverend amos brown. Madam president. Mr. Mayor, and senator, my colleagues of yester years and the present members of this board, i have the distinction of being the only clergy person to serve on this board. And i was there because my spirituality was not confined to sacred stain glass windows. I was there back in those days. Because i knew so well that as thoruo, said, and does not keep a woman, ace with his or her companions. Let him march for the music that he hears. I have a measure of far away. And was to forget that when my companions didnt hear me. On two items. Number one, care. And not cash. Everybody said, how dare a preacher. So cold. But gaven peeked over my shoulder. And when he became mayor, the very legislation that i introduced became the measure that we were governed by in this city. The other one is that i hold here a cell phone. And i had to introduce the legislation and that would be prohibited to use cell phones. And while driving. Almost ran me out of town. It was indicated the truth that was crushed to the earth rose again. And now, we are a safer, society. Because it is the law of the land. No cell phones. While driving. Silver . Thank you, very much colleagues. It is a great pleasure to be here with clinton and diane and others who i served with over the 12 years that i sat in that chair in this chamber. I know that now people leave after 4 00 or 8 00 years, but because of the p elections and the district elections again i was here for a very, very long period of time and as somebody mentioned, previous to me, this chamber, this body, this city, this group of people initiated things that today we take for granted. And harvy my colleague bho sat in that chair, in that chair, sorry. That is right. I am turned around. Sorry. And i introduced the first legislation to ban discrimination against gay people in employment. And if you think about that was not that long ago. Yet, that was a major piece of legislation that began right here. And i was so lucky to have harvy as a colleague, and to have diane as a colleague, and even to have quinten as a colleague. He used to rise and to say, now miss silver, i know that you are the product of a great education at the university of chicago and harvard university. And that is when i knew that he whats going to destroy me in the next week. I am as all of us thrilled to be here, happy to be with my colleagues of yestery year and very, very, grateful to those of you who remember. Thank you. I just want to remind us of two important words and i always remind myself of. And those two words are Public Service. I know that that was something that david chui reminded us of the shakespeare is to sort of whit, it should dominate our comments today by not having read all of the findings, and i am aware that that those words did not follow that. And went on to say too many things, but i will try to follow little of my normal patron saint, if you would. And great role model, saint katis and try to be brief. I came here with only one intention and that was to serve and i think that is why we all came here. And i remember when someone said, what are you hope to accomplish, and i remember saying, some be from the press and i said i hope to leave the body known as the board of supervisors here honorable bli served and served by many, many, other people as in, even better in the institution than when we walked in the door. And i hope that we can all have that in mind that we have accomplished that in so many ways, if you compare us to so many other bodies of government around the country, let alone around the world. And we have accomplished incredible things and we are talking about the physical chamber here today, which is of course made of the oak which is extinct and i think that it is important that we contrast ourselves with this species of oak and with the future of our continued legislative body on the board of supervisors here, which never will be extinct in terms of which the continued dedication to Public Service and no matter how long we are here and the walls stand, that the people who serve here are the people who serve the people, the men and women of San Francisco. And it was a great honor to be part of that and i am honored to be among those who have done that. And very honored to think about how i can continue to leave here as long as possible, with the people who will continue to have that, as their model, for life. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor tang would like to say a few words. Thank you very much, madam president , senator, and mayor lee, and senator leno and councilman chui and tang and members of the board and my colleagues, it is a great honor to be back. And it is a great honor to celebrate this very special occasion today. I want to thank every one of you for allowing me to work with you and to have learned from you. I want to recognize the department heads. Who do all of the work. Daytoday. And carry on our legislation, thank you very much. We care so much about the city. Every single part of the city. I personally work in china town today. And every day i walk passed the First American flag. That was hoisted in San Francisco right at christmas square. And i go into work on the land that used to be the hall of justice. Today is part of the Chinese Culture center. And every day i look in the park every day, i look in the neighborhood, and every day i am reminded of and i am sure that you see it every day. And i am reminded of the challenge of this placement. And immigration, and inequity, crime, homelessness, and i would have to say to the current members of the board, and the future members of the board, all of the people who are thinking about running for the board, that we look forward to your leadership. And for us also it is now. We will always be here to support you and to help you succeed. A word to supervisor my former colleague, carroll migden. Thank you for teaching me to put on my lip stick every day, every time before the committee hearing. Thank you very much. Thank you. Were there any other members . Supervisor gonsales . Thank you. Madam president , and mr. Mayor, senator, he esteemed colleagues. I know that you are whether you are a member of the board of supervisors, a department head, a city attorney, budget analyst, that you are all considered agents of change, in this city. I consider you trouble makers. And i think that one of the great privileges that i have had not only in this chamber, but in this building is that i was able to serve like devon and dufty both in the Mayors Office and in this chamber and seeing the executive priorities and the legislative priorities and how they got translated into the good policy. And i think back of the time when i thought that i was going to be a member of this board and i said well, i am probably going to be the first gonzales it did not work out because there was bob and then matt. Sxh i said i am going to be the first you know, and only, guatemala. And then david compass took that away from me. But, all in all, the one thing that i got you know, is that i got to run city wide, and that was very, very peshl and the elected city wide, and i never gotten that opportunity that had not been for the great mayor who appointed me, to my seat on the board of supervisors. The quintin cox seat and thank you mayor and senator for that. But i also when i was thinking about you, thanking you got here, each and every one here made that special sacrifice of roping i dont you are family into this. And having your family do also part of the sacrifice. And i would like you all to applaud your families to the sacrifices that they have made to serve San Francisco. And as a point of personal privilege, diane appointed you to the board of supervisors and the people elected me to the board, but the person who let me serve was maria over there, my spouse. So thank you. Supervisor hall . Thank you, madam president. I would just like to know, why when the photographer asked everybody to shift to the right i was the only one that did it . No, as the last conservative i think elected to this body and maybe in the last 30 or 40 years, it is bring backs the title of an old elton john song, i am Still Standing and it is really a pleasure to be here. And i had four great years under the direction of our former president matt gonsales and i notice that he roo he mains quiet, he brought in a Certain Energy and intelligence to this board that we open that we see in the future. But, thank all of you, each and every one of you for the work that you have done for San Francisco. God bless. Thank you, supervisor. I was waiting for you to break out in song. But i will call. The title but i am not going to sing it. Okay. Anyone else any of our honored or distinguished guests that are here today . Seeing none, i will now recognize supervisor cohen. Oh, carroll. No i was supervisor carol. A point of personal privilege wondering if there was some lunch in hand here . Yes, so the sooner we are done with this meeting, the sooner we can go and eat. I am glad that point was made. Thank you very much, but i also want to say that San Francisco has always been the jugerknot force that has moved california and therefore has affected the nation. And during my tenure, i remember we prevented guns from being sold, senator, here in San Francisco. And we have watched the decades of which you have fought, mightily, and strongly and imperatively, to continue to have our country rid of automatic assault weapons. So i want to say we stood here originally, we stood for the right things, we did not dilly dally and we have driven forth afl very come mendable agenda for our country to be proud of. And i thank you. Thank you very much. Okay. And seeing no other distinguished guests, i will acknowledge supervisor cohen. Thank you very much. And good afternoon, again, ladies and gentlemen, mr. Mayor, president breed, and senator, it is wonderful to sit here in this beautiful chamber and just have a moment to reflect. If you think about it, we have come quite a long ways, and in a short period of time, 100 years, mr. Mayor you can the first, chinese american mayor, elect and president breed being an African American woman, a few that have held the titles of the chair woman of this body and senator, the first mayor of San Francisco. No mistake excuse me . Excuse me. First female mayor, first lady, absolutely. I also want to recognize the current clerk of the board, we have come a really long way, we are celebrating the 100 anniversary of this chamber, when you consider that it was just 51 years, post the proclamation that the African Americans were recognized as citizens and i want you to consider that the 19th amendment that legalized the womans right to vote was just passed 1920, four years after this chamber was established. There are many people that we recognized today. I do want to speak their names and give life and breath and recognize harry fransa, who was a member of this body, the first African American to serve in the San Francisco board of supervisors. Also want to recognize, miss ella, hutch, and on many of you served with our dear great sister kennedy. And doris ward is not able to be with us here today, but she is here with us. And of course, want to again, recognize the reverend dr. Amos brown. And i think that it is, these are the shoulders that president breed and i stand on, with great honor and integrity. And i also want to recognize the many aids that are in this chamber, and also recognize the former aids that have joined us here today, because it is without you that we would not be able to do the work that we do every day, serving the city and county of San Francisco. Thank you. Thank you supervisor cohen for bringing up some amazing points. Former supervisor ward could not be with us today, she was the first African American woman and African American to be president of the board of supervisors. And i am honored to be the second. And i also would like to acknowledge former supervisor maxwell who could not be with us today as well. Thank you all so much, again, everyone who has joined us here today, and what an amazing occasion. And to celebrate, 100 years of this incredible chamber, with all of you. And our honored guests and we will continue with our agenda, we have just a few more items before we can adjourn today. Including one of those things that i know each and every one of you remembers and enjoyed the most. Public comment. So, we will go to Public Comment but before we go to Public Comment, we will reapprove the minutes from the october, 9, 1916 meeting. Motioned by . Supervisor campos. And seconded by cohen, colleagues could we take that without, objection. Those minutes from 100 years ago will be approved after Public Comment. And with that madam clerk, please read Public Comment. At this time the public may comment for up to two minutes within the subject matters jurisdiction of the board regarding the celebration, and the items on the adoption without reference to the calendar. Welcome to our celebration meeting. Thank you. Congratulations and inaudible thank you, next speaker please, and if there are any other speakers, who would like to provide general Public Comment, please line up to my left. Thank you, and thank you to the board of supervisors for putting on this meeting. My name is neal and i am a historian with the California Heritage council, in 1972, with the cooperation with the mayor, we issued a certificate of recognition to city hall. And signed by henry prene, the president of the California Heritage council and in that spirit we want to recognize the 100th anniversary of this chamber, and i would like to point out that we should mention arthor brown junior, the architect of city hall who especially put a special effort into signing this chamber, and he is one of our great architects of San Francisco history. And he went on to design the clay tower, the and the tower of the sun in Treasure Island and many, many other buildings until the 1950s. And this was the reason why we issued this certificate, of recognition in 1972 was that it really, the city hall was not really very much appreciated at that time, or any other building, of this sort. It was out of our architectal style, and the style being the Federal Building on golden gate, avenue, for instance, was the style of the 60s. And har ald says that it was a neglected master piece, riding above the clutter. And in any case, it is now both as far as interior and exterior concerned, is now fully recognized for what it is, a beautiful and outstanding structure. Thank you very much. Thank you, next speaker please . Tom, and congratulations for all of the honored people that are here today. And of late, i have been coming here ail little bit off, and that i have started to feel like i was part of the furniture and it is a great room to feel part of the furniture, but in all truth, it is a better room, and i would like the overhead, please. If we could get the overhead . They hand out these cards when you come to Public Comment. And your organization and whatnot, and i just realized a couple of days ago, that i am a public citizen. Instead of just complaining i will come here and i will irritate and i will waste a couple of moments, yesterday, i came here and i have to apologize, for coming here and wasting a couple of moments. But it is a nice place to be a public citizen, and i want to thank you, and i hope that this city moves forward again. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public who would like to provide Public Comment at this time . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Can we go to the items without reference to the committee .

There are 7 is and 4 nos with supervisor kim oar supervisor peskin, supervisor wiener and. The resolution is adopted item 6 to authorize the department of health to submit an application to get ryan grant and request 16. 7 million in hiv Emergency Relief Program funding for the eligible metropolitan area for 2017 a reinforcement on item 6 supervisor campos supervisor cowen supervisor farrell supervisor kim supervisor mar supervisor peskin supervisor tang supervisor wiener supervisor yee supervisor avalos supervisor breed there are 11 is. The resolution is adopted unanimously next item. Item 7 referred without recommendation from the government audit oversight to appropriate one hundred thousand dollars in the general to the department of Emergency Management to provide relieve for italy victims. Supervisor farrell. So colleagues, i know there was a tragedy that happened no italy as some of us are very, very Close Friends ive heard about it but i dont believe that San Francisco should be in the business for providing assistance for every tragedy around the world as attempting i fully support and are personally contributed to efforts here in San Francisco to aid those victims but to me this is a mistake most o more importantly what are we are doing in terms of avenue slirm e slippery slope what about the isis bauchl and the list can go on and on and whether is one hundred or one Million Dollars the city of San Francisco shouldnt be in this business it is a wrong thing to do because i can think of many things the city of San Francisco needs in the sidewalks and in the budget every single year that we should be spending the money as opposed to to giving it abroad. Thank you supervisor farrell supervisor peskin thank you madam president and colleagues first of all, i think were all aware of what happened on august 24th hour in the nation state of italy but here we are the day after the 27 anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake and here we are on the one hundred anniversary of the those chambers built after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire after the loma prieta earthquake San Francisco benefited from contribution from individuals and nations from around the world this is has been a part of a longs trajectory where San Francisco an earthquake prone city has recognized the fact the world radical rallied for San Francisco in 1989 and indeed the tradition of coming to the aid of cities around the planet started long before i was on the board the last time this is done for cities in schien by the board of supervisors in the late 1990s and el salvador and india all of them the result of earthquakes that is part of a proud tradition i submit to all of you what comes around goes around we should remain one hundred years and 27 years later the world taken care of of San Francisco a 9 point plus Million Dollars this appropriations is no whereas, large as the appropriations in times we had a much smaller budget vote our conscious i think the nation state of italy and the proud indianamerican tradition of San Francisco warrant this vote. Thank you supervisor peskin supervisor campos thank you madam president i mean i appreciate with supervisor farrell is saying but i think that the city we have to recognize that we dont live in a vacuum that in fact, were connected to other parts of the world and that one of the things that comes with being a city, state, in the year 2016 is to stretched step forward and help other parts of the world in a tough time with a Natural Disaster and the idea that the cities will do the same for when the time if that time comes we find ourselves in that position i think outside the box to me thats appropriate it is a gesture consistent with who we are with the city of st. Francis ill have an issue from the amount was much larger but i think that is more a symbol that we recognize that were part of a larger world and that in some respect we are connected to other parts of the world. Thank you supervisor campos supervisor cowen. Good afternoon colleagues particularly the maker of this appropriation i think im in a the conflict i see that as more of a nuance position one that potentiality could be helpful with clarification do we give aid only in the instance of an earthquake . Have we given aid whenever a member has requested aid to be given to a country supervisor peskin im going to direct my question towards you, you may have the most knowledge. Madam president. Supervisor peskin through the president to supervisor cowen to my knowledge all the instances of the city of San Francisco Budget Committee storing guests on 09 cities in the instances of earthquake only earthquakes to the best of my knowledge. That would be helpful as i reviewed this appropriation and the language what came to my mind 9 devastation of haiti was it for an earthquake or a Natural Disaster hold on supervisor avalos id like to hear our answer where i am im wondering i i feel comfortable if we did it for earthquakes and set a precedence for earthquake okay some kin red sister city synergy happening there then my question if it is not for earthquake perhaps develop a process around which whats the criteria to evaluate where and more importantly how much i do so supervisor farrells position i think of the homeless crisis i see that is a a huge disaster we can use one hundred thousand dollars to assist but not an excuse really to understand what past boards have done and if at all possible to set up a protocol and standard sometimes are acts are heavy handed or favoritism and madam chair. Supervisor avalos through the chair weve done a number of appropriations from the general reserve earthquakes are not the only instances there have been hurricanes and ti phones we responded to hurricane felix that hit honduras and nicaragua and committed 200 thousands the funds that went to those parts of regions actually were not k345e7b8d through the American Red Cross but through the ground that enabled communities to build wells and have appropriated technology for their continuation that was successful we actually had monitoring to look at how that was done to work the Mayors Office had gone down to do that and as you recall in december of 2004 for new years day the tsunami that hit thailand and we committed money to that as well an attempt to do a larger amount the board committed to a smaller amount. Do you remember the amount. Maybe a Million Dollars or 200 and 50 thousands i dont recall for hurricane it hit the philippines in 2013 we committed 200 thousands that didnt go through the American Red Cross but to organizations that were work on the ground for the dollars had maximum benefits for people on the ground who were dealing with the impact sometimes, we send dollars to organizations and organizations take a lot of the administrative you know money for the administrative processes we have a history of doing that note a set format but weve before successful in dealing with supporting communities that are suffering from Natural Disasters to make sure the organizations are well effected if in the countrys the governments making sure the monies are used appropriately. Thank you. I appreciate probation officer History Lesson so although helpful doesnt bring me to a position to cast a yes vote i again want to reiterate that perhaps we develop a process and if there is a process im unaware of it let me know what type of a Natural Disaster warrants a contribution from the city and county of San Francisco thank you. Thank you supervisor cowen and supervisor avalos you want you had your name and he removed 2 you were richmond to a question. It was pretty much to respond to that question we say a history and actually successful from the i point of view to the places were trying to get money to. Thank you supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president london breed ill not belabor the point i appreciate the comments ill suggest that is more appropriate for individuals to contribute to we can do 3 individually as supervisors or people in the community with the philanthropic efforts to support this and despite some of the comments were not a nation state and not the federal government this shouldnt be what were doing as a city.
