Special order is the mayoral appearance before the board, madam president. Councillor breed under these unique circumstances with the passing of mayor lee this morning, i plan to say a few words during this item and i invite each of you to do the same. I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the full board of supervisors express our collective sorrow and deepest of condolences under the sudden passing of our mayor, mayor edwin m. Lee. Mayor lee passed away early this morning at zuckerberg San Francisco general at age 65. I know i speak for each and every one of us when i say our thoughts and prayers are with mayor lees wife, anita, and his daughters, tonya and breanna. Mayor lee lived a life of service, son of working class immigrants, mayor lee developed early on a profound sense of community and a commitment to helping others. Whether he was advocating for the powerless or serving for the voice of the overlooked, he was from the dawn of his career someone who fought for those in need before himself. In his three decades of Public Service as a director of the human rights commission, then the director of the department of public works, and as a city administrator, and finally, as San Franciscos first asianamerican mayor, mayor lee always exemplified San Francisco values and believed in the power of opportunity. He believed that everyone should have the opportunity to have a job and earn a good wage. He believed in a city where a poor kid from Public Housing could become mayor. Through his efforts, 140,000 new jobs have been created in San Francisco. Millions of dollars have been invested in Affordable Housing. And because of his tenacity and dedication, were on the path to rehabilitating 700,000 Public Housing units. I also want to underscore how important his role as San Franciscos first asianamerican mayor was to the San Francisco asian community. I remember the pride i saw from leaders and members from the chinese and asianamerican communities when mayor lee first assumed office. The significance of this achievement will not be forgotten. What mattered most to mayor lee was helping his fellow san franciscans and everyone who had the pleasure of working with mayor lee will miss him tremendously. As i now assume the responsibility, i ask for your patience and your support. And at this time, as a point of privilege during what would have been mayor lees question time, i want to ask that we adjourn todays meeting in the mayors honor on behalf of the entire board. If we can do that without objection, without objection, we will do so. Thank you, colleagues. At this time, if any of you would like to say any words or if you want to wait until roll call, youre definitely welcome to do so. Okay thank you, colleagues. Appreciate your indulgence.

The Sentencing Commission commenced this summer and has been reauthorized once previously. So this body meets three to four times annually for three purposes. First, to analyze sentencing patterns and outcomes. To advise the board of supervisor, mayor and city departments on best approaches for reducing recitivism and make recommendations for sentencing reforms that advance Public Safety and utilize best practices in criminal justice. We look at criminal justice experts in reform and approach. Colleagues, im asking you today to join me in supporting this item, item 25. This commission would like to extend the timeline to sunset from two years instead of two years to five years and to extend for more than three years we must waive 2. 21. Given the track record for criminal sentencing strategy, i would like for you to support this for what i consider to be a practical timeline.

Clerk motion to appoint John Elberling, fernando mafrt marti, Whitney Jones and shannon way for a term after the feasibili Feasibility Analysis 41510. Councillor breed supervisor cohen . Councillor cohen i know this item was heard in rules recently, but we recently got a letter, a substantial letter detailing basically that John Elberling does not live in the city of San Francisco and is also not qualified to occupy a bmr rate unit. I have questions i dont even know where to direct them. Is there anybody here that can answer them . I dont know if mr. Elberling is here. Councillor breed it doesnt appear that he is here and supervisor safai, maybe as chair, you can tell us if the issues came up. Councillor safai thank you. We had all the applicants present at the meeting. They all spoke on the record in support of their applications. Applications were submitted in confirmity with the rules. There were no questions raised at that time, so i dont have any comment on information submitted at the last minute regarding this matter. Councillor breed thank you, supervisor safai. Supervisor cohen . Councillor cohen the question is that although in his application to our body he claims San Francisco as his primary address, but when you look at his property tax, he claims an exemption, that forces him to be a resident and the address he uses is in sonoma, specifical specifically sebastiapool. Perhaps we can continue this and take it up in the new year. Thanks probably the most fair thing to do. That way mr. Elberling can respond to the accusations submitted to us today it. Councillor breed thank you. Before i call on supervisor peskin, supervisor safai you would like to respond . Councillor safai its valid. The clerk receives that information and is required to review that information to determine if the information provided, the address, was a San Francisco address. Its not in the purview of the rules committee to determine that. We take that information on face value as its submitted to the clerk. So i would ask the clerk maybe to respond to that. Councillor breed madam clerk . Clerk thank you, madam president to supervisor safai, the application has well, it is a San Francisco address, as i look upon it on its face. Councillor safai thank you. Councillor breed supervisor peskin. Councillor peskin mr mr. Elberling responded to that baseless account where he responded that he has 80 his time at the San Francisco address. He had an explanation as to why he takes a homeowners exemption with his wife and i believe it was Sonoma County and it seemed plausible. But im standing to repudiate the politics of personal attack being levied in this case. This is a gentleman who served on this exact body, the body that actually brought us the recommendations that led to the successful conclusion of our inclusionary housing policy that we did unanimously. And we have, thank you to the controller, reconvened the tack. The mayor has appointed a number of individuals. Its on the board to reappoint the same individuals that served us well in a technical advisory capacity. The add homonym attacks are beneath the institution and i would like to vote on this today. Councillor breed and i want to add that im open to a continuance, but were looking at a residency waiver for shannon way. So if were going to vote to continue John Elberling, i would like us to vote to continue shannon way as well on the decision to do a residency waiver because were potentially talking about a question of residency here. Supervisor cohen . Councillor cohen im happy to make the motion to continue item 27 and for the record im just raising a question. I did not see a response from mr. Elberling and a response should be welcomed and entered into the file. So i will make that motion that we continue item 27 and take it up in the new year. Thank you. Councillor breed its been seconded by supervisor tang. Supervisor kim . Councillor kim are we speaking on the motion to continue . Councillor breed you can speak on either one. Thats fine. Councillor kim i think its important that we move forward with the appointments today, given the break that were about to begin in the holidays. There is is a Technical Advisory Committee thats met and advised this board of supervisors on our inclusionary housing bill. John elberling served with the same address that he included on his application today. He actually lives in my neighborhood, so i see him very frequently. So i can vouch for the fact that i see him in the south of market. But i also want to state on behalf of shannon way, there are very few individuals that understand below market rate Home Ownership and even for market rate Home Ownership in San Francisco as well as shannon does. Its unfortunate that she lives in oakland for the sake of this committee serving the needs of San Francisco residents, but i dont think we can find another applicant with the depth of knowledge that she personally has. She spent over a decade as a Real Estate Agent selling homes and then went on to work at Home Ownership sf, where she became executive director. I have not met someone with the level of expertise that she has on this issue and the committee would really greatly benefit from her wisdom and her knowledge. Councillor breed thank you it. Supervisor safai . Councillor safai we have the ability to waive the residency requirements. It did come up. She did talk about it. She was an active ms. Way was an active participant in the negotiations that took place over the last 10 months. Her participation was invaluable. So i dont have any question of her commitment or abilities, so i want to separate the two. I think theyre two separate issues. Councillor breed thank you, supervisor safai
