Thank you, madam clerk. Today, colleagues, i am sending an inquiry to various city agencies asking them to participate in the working group to consult with each other on implementation issues with the noise laws in the city.

And after reporting those to the department of Public Health, my office found that many city agencies have overlapping authority over different aspects of the law and making it difficult to ...

Organization of primarily lgbt runners who get together to run and walk every week in our city. And he is someone who is very well thought of in front runners and in the community. He was 6 feet 4, so, we were a Kindred Spirit in that way. When his kidneys failed him in 2001, many expected him to withdraw from front runners, but he continued to participate. He was a regular participant and someone who was a real key part of the organization. He received the front runner of the year award at one ...

Family using taxpayer dollars for providing housing even though they have outstanding violations and continue to deny residents health, safety and tenancy rights, including participating in on a legal policy of rotating tenants out of their room so they cannot achieve their tenancy and therefore the eligible rights to that unit. I am introducing a resolution today to urge dph to divest all city resources, investments, and financial contracts related to the substandard sro hotel owned or operated...

From homeland security. The last inquiry will go to the Police Department and dem and exploring mounting police are body cameras and a cost analysis.

And leaving it to the mayor and this body, the board of supervisors, to decide whether or not any changes to a health and security ordinance are warranted. And in the spirit of that work, i think its imperative that we as an entity, we a a board of supervisors carefully look at the pictures that are needed. ~ as a the Councils Report makes it clear that the healthy San Francisco program and the Employer Health care spending requirements put the city in a unique position to lead the nation in hel...

A 2011 attempt to expand this to inpatient care was devoted by counseling. Last year our city took an official support position of senate bill 746 authored by senator leno which would have required health plans and insurers to disclose more information on a variety of aspects of charges and rates including prescription drugs. Unfortunately that bill was vetoed by our governor. The resolution im introducing today is a first step at answering the mandate of proposition d. In february i look forwar...

In the past we have seen a power struggle between the board of supervisors and the mayor which is one of the reaso...

Actively engaged in this issue. Kim with the National United health care workers, palar, chavo with the california nurses association. Adrianna casanova with 1021 and paul as well as kim with the Labor Council and so many others who have been coming to the table for many, many years to try and deal with this issue, so we have arrived at a really great, i believe, great legislation, great policy to really effectively close this loophole and clearly with this coalition, we have a consensus. Thank ...

Compromises that was made and its going to make it easier for the Small Businesses to adjust, but i think without supervisors campos courage following in the footsteps of tom and a strong and Broad Coalition of labor and Community United that we wouldnt be here passing this legislation today. I wanted to say that the fight is not over for Health Equity and Stronger Universal Health Care system in our city and in this country but this puts us one step closer towards that number and im appreciativ...
