Were happen to see that although there were modifications to the program that the tax credits did survive. So weve filed a part 1 and we have a conversation to have with nps. Great. Thank you. Any questions . Commissioner pearlman . Commissioner pearlman do you know the timing related to the orton project . I believe some of theirs will open late this year and others will trail into 2019. Oh, okay. Theyre in advance. Orton has one tenant in today in building 14. Later this month they will have west side of building 13. Later this spring, the east side of 113 occupied. And 104 occupied. So after the spring, what well be waiting for is for Restoration Hardware and anticipating late this year and early next year and then were in discussions with how to get 102 up and ready. Are they doing 20th street improvement snz that will be part of the port city project. Well take Public Comment. Does any member of the public wish to speak . If so, come forward. Seeing and hearing none, well close Public Comment. Commissioners, any comment . This is great, but appropriate of your question about relationship of what is happening and the orton historic renovations, i would be interested in an update on that. I know we had a presentation. It was a long time ago and then another one got canceled, i believe. Yeah. We can ask for one. I like what you were just saying i think there are two ways of handling it. I was down there last week and its a phenomenal its phenomenal to go down there and see the facilities live and in action. So we could do either or both. You let us know. We could do a tour. Tours are interesting, but theyre challenging logistically because we have to have Public Comment. Maybe eddie can come back i think it would be helpful. If you like, we could work with the port to arrange another presentation. I think the last time, everything was speculative and didnt show drawings or photographs. Its very conceptual and now its real projects. Thank you. We have no further comments. Well move on. Thank you for your presentation. Good material. Thank you. Very good, commissioners. That will place us on item 15 for alcatraz embarkation site at piers 3133. We have a request from the port to continue this for two weeks to february 21. We need to ask for Public Comment on this item. Any member of the public wish to comment . Seeing none, we close Public Comment. Move to continue . Yes. Second. On that motion [roll call] so moved. Commissioners, motion passes unanimously 50, placing us on the final item today, item 16, landmark designation Works Program and draft Cultural Heritage work program yachterly reports. Desiree smith, staff. Th i will summarize the work program items that have come before you and provide an update and the Performance Measures were tracking. During the reporting period, staff reviewed and commented on a draft outline compared by the consultant there was selected. The project is being administered by arg and the primary author will be working alongside the chinese american historical society. You adopted a resolution recommending eight applications. Board of supervisors approved five of the applications. The remaining three were not moved out of committee. Staff conducted research and drafted content for the africanamerican Historic Context statement that responds to comments from the Community Stake holders and the public. Staff conducted an oral history as part of the research document. In addition, we have a copy editor, would working with us to finalize that statement. For 3rd baptist church, approved by the board of supervisors and signed by the mayor during the reporting period. You voted to remember board of supervisors approval for George Washington high school, Theodore Roosevelt middle school and sunshine school. All three nominations were transmitted to the board of supervisors. You also voted to recommend approval of two additional regulations, Diamond Heights safety well and pagoda peace plaza. Phillips building, historic preservation. And 1337 heather street, former Religious School for temple exannual. The report is complete at this point. If you would like to discuss that in terms of prioritization, we can do that, if you would like. You also adopted eureka statement. 75 draft of three National Register nominations compared by consultants for the Department San francisco sites of civil rights project. Those nominations are for glide memorial church, downtown ywca and Masonic Lodge and hotel. We forwarded logs for comment and we have provided those to the consultants. That summarizes the main projects in the active pipeline. In addition to the landmark designation, staff serves aztec knickal support to the Historic Fund committee. Were working on the reports for sacred heart, in which it was initiated on october 5, 2016, and the item was heard again today. The new deal era that were forwarded to the board of supervisors for recommendation. The residents Historic Context statement. The Eureka Valley concept statement. Africanamerican historical concept statement, which was taken off the calendar and continued indefinitely, as were making edits in response to community comments. Copy editor is also working with us and we expect to complete that document this quarter and will bring it back after redistributing it to the community. In addition, were working on hpc with latino statement. And during the reporting quarter, received documentation from the Consultant Team and will be reviewing that this quarter. The Department Survey Team continued to look at the lgbtq heritage strategy. First, to prepare landmark designation report within 150 staff hours. The hours have not increased, 206 hours continues to be the only property that exceeds that amount. The last completed designation took a total of 74 hours to complete. Article 10 and 11 designation, which is on our website since april, 2015. The third performance measure was to provide comments regarding completeness or schedule hpc hearings for all communitysponsored applications. Staff got the application and has been introduced to the board of supervisors. The staff will maintain the Quarterly Report. The next update april 8, 2018. Commissioners, that concludes my presentation. Well come back to you april 18, 2018. This concludes my presentation. Shelly caltagirone would like to present on Cultural Heritage work that the department is going. Doing. Hello. Shelley caltagirone, Cultural Heritage staff. Sorry for the technical problems. Were drafting a Cultural Heritage work program and we would like to start reporting quarterly just like we do at the landmark designation work program. I have a presentation and handouts if you want to look at it, but its really just a copy and paste of the language that you have in your report. Raise your hand if you would like one. Okay. So i will walk you through the contents of the report and then on the last slide i reiterated some of the questions we had about formatting and content of the report so we can revise for the next quarterly. I will begin with the event. I did not list all of the events on the side, but wanted to note some of the events, which the commission did not attend, so nonhearing items the first being on december 4, the Planning Department Cultural Heritage specialist started working, and that is me. [applause] ive taken over the new position and i will be managing the Quarterly Reports moving forward. On december 5, staff attended with commissioner matsuda, a branding committee. And well work back on that in the next couple of months. I think its planned to conclude in april. So we should have some products from that to share with you. And then on december 15, Planning Department staff attended a kickoff meeting with the lgbtq Strategy Working Group and it will develop the development strategy. The next section is the Cultural Heritage district designations and strategies. The only recent designation is the San Francisco leather cultural district. It was proposed in september, 2017. Supervisors kim and sheehy announced the draft legislation and meetings are being held by the working group and they also have a website, where you can sign their legislation, map of their district and inventory of their Cultural Heritage assets and i will make closer contact with the working group and may have more information to share with you either when the Cultural Heritage assets meetings or the next Quarterly Report. Next are historic preservations from committee projects. The only project we had to report on is the lgbtq Cultural Heritage strategy report. Its a request for 50,000. At the time of the request, staff had spent 630 hours on Technical Assistance to the working group and we anticipate another 300 to 350 hours and the project is intended to conclude in april of this year. Thats probably wishful thinking, but thats our goal. Some other Cultural Heritage work program items include the legacy business oral history project. The department partnered with the usf professors to document some oral histories from legacy businesses that had been previously nominated. We heard that the professors are interested in repeating that program for summer 2018. So i will be reporting back to you in the next couple of months on how we can structure that program and how many oral histories we might be able to get out of that work. We also have, as i mentioned, the legacy business branding project. And i will not repeat those details. The next section goes over our Performance Measures. We are proposing four Performance Measures, one being the hours to prepare and process a legacy business registry application. Next, the hours to prepare the Cultural Heritage strategy. And, third, a survey methodology for evaluating Cultural Heritage. Thats something that i put in a place holder deadline of june 30, 2019. I think theres quite a bit of work to do there, but weve gotten started with some of the work. Our intern in 2017 prepared for us. So were in progress and hopefully well have methodology well work on it this year. Well submit and present a work Program Quarterly report with the next due in march. And then the next two slides break down our fte and proposed hours for the Cultural Heritage specialist position, which in theory encompasses most of the heritage work program. These numbers could change, but theyre what were presenting to the department right now in terms of budgeting this position. So approximately 1 4 of the fte goes towards ongoing programs including Cultural Heritage district liaison, Community Working groups and other agencies within the citys handling. Also acting as a legacy Business Liaison and doing work to help outreach and development of the program. Next is the Cultural Heritage policy development and legislation, a catchall for any legislation that may be forthcoming concerning Cultural Heritage issues. And then we have a general category for Community Outreach and training. And then last, administrative work for the Cultural Heritage assets committee. Specific case work includes Technical Assistance for the cultural districts or cultural strategies, work on the Cultural Heritage element. We do have a final draft thats ready for internal review with the Planning Department and well be developing our Public Outreach program this year. Were also ready to start working on the Environmental Review for that document. We also have the citywide survey, which well be working on a methodology to survey intangible Cultural Heritage. We have the context statements, which i would be assisting with, developing a framework for intangible resources and area plans that our Citywide Division proposes. We would help to navigate Cultural Heritage issues in the comments. Were working on the film in that capacity and last the legacy business cases, as i presented today. So these are some the questions we have for the commission, simply, the report format. If you have any recommendations for how we present the information. The level of information for different sections, if you would like to see more or less. The Performance Measures, if you have any recommendations for Performance Measures. And there are programs and projects. The landmarks designation also has a process section that outlines the process for designations. If you would like to see something similar, we can attempt that. Right now, theres not a clear process for Cultural Heritage district nomination, but we can take a stab at it. And look at what has been done in the past and maybe give a best practices guideline there. And then last, had some recommendations for other report sections you might be interested in including potential future projects, any Public Outreach work that were doing or planning on completing, and then any nondepartmental Cultural Heritage work if we have a Current Events section things that we hear about that were not directly working on. I would welcome your comments and thats the completes my presentation. Commissioners, first, i wanted to thank shelley and desiree for a great presentation, but also to point out to you that with shelleys presentation, there is a lot of detail that were showing you related to how were dividing that fte. We think its helpful and necessary because its a new position. As this is a growing area of concern and interest by the city family and the public. If there are future budgetary implications to expand the number of Cultural Heritage specialists we have, we hope that tracking it in this detail could make the case. Its not meant to inundate you with details, but if that information is helpful, we can include it maybe in the appendix or give it to you on an asneeded basis, but be aware that were tracking it closely for those reasons. Commissioner matsuda . Commissioner matsuda thats a really good idea to help desiree and shelley out in the future. I was going to mention the methodology for intangible resources, that would be such a hot topic for the National Trust and so when and when thats available to make those suggestive classes or discussions, i would like to see that as well as legacy businesses. And, actually well, the Commission Gets excited about hearing from legacy businesses, so if they could be a part of a discussion at the trust, i think that would encourage other communities, where there are a lot of small and medium businesses to think of similar legislation, so we can spread the word. Thank you very much. Commissioner pearlman . Commissioner pearlman thank you. I think the idea of the tracking is really significant, one, to see if theres growth. The other is just to see how it plays out. I mean, youve got these as place holders now and you are going to find that one area will be much more need much more time and then what do you do . And ho do you balance those needs . The other thing i was going to say, i was excited in desirees presentation, as im preparing for a talk i am giving in a couple of weeks, i was looking at the history of landmarks and i was looking by decade and how many. And it started dropping way decade starting in the 1970s to the 2000s. It was 20 someodd landmarks and i know we talked about this when i was first on the commission about how few we have and weve been trying to build and build, so i was very excited to hear that there were five or six just in this quarter. And then all the context reports. There was so much activity. So its very exciting that were really picking up the pace and the broadening of the scope of what we look at and what we care about is just very encouraging and exciting. So thank you for the work you guys do and congratulations, shelley, on moving into this new world, essentially, is a new way of looking at what we all do. Thank you. Commissioner johnck . Commissioner johnck im excited about Natural Resources in the program. Now we need another person, right . [laughter] andrew, youve i was spurred to more thinking about this because of your recommendation for the tree as a landmark. And so the cultural we have Cultural Landscape designation and we can recommend Natural Resources. As a cultural resource, there are several. We have parks. And we started a discussion with park and Recreation Department regarding the overlap of our interest and golden gate park. So theres a lot of relationship with social, cultural and Natural Resources. So how we do that, i dont know. Whether its tangible or intangible, its both. So i would like to figure that out. And identify the sources or whatever. I realize thats more work, but to me its important. Commissioner hyland a few, quick things. Can we sync this this report is a Quarterly Report and then richard rick does by monthly or is he quarterly . And then i cant remember if hes presenting to the commissioner he doesnt present to the commission. Its the cha, i think. Hes presenting to the Small Business commission for updates. We have requested that report from rick, but we could probably modify our request to keep it on the quarterly schedule, if thats more appropriate. Commissioner hyland i believe that weve asked him to present that report, but often the report is published, i believe it was every two months, but the last time he was here, i thought he said he was shifting to quarterly. If theres a way to sync it up i will check. The commission doesnt get his reports. They go to the cha. Right. Before are we at i forget now with the Cultural Heritage district legislation . Was it continued . It hasnt been scheduled yet, but the Supervisors Office asked for a little more time given the comments they had received. So i believe its scheduled for your next hearing, first week of february. Is there a draft . Not a new draft. We havent seen a revised draft since the original one introduced the end of october. Okay. And, lastly second to lastly, are we going to calendar or agendaize our piece of the legacy business legislation so we can talk about lessons learned, how to do the capture the stories better . Theres a whole series maybe this commission or cha. Commissioner johns, i think, was interested in hearing and getting a dialogue. We could get a report from the cha, because we havent gotten a report on how the committee is functioning. We can do both. Yes. Maybe sometime in a few months or something. Maybe mid january . Well check with rick and see when hes available because i believe he presented to the cha in mid november, correct . Right. Shelley caltagirone. And i wanted to report that i met with rick yesterday to go over future programs and projects outside of processing and cautions. So now would probably be a good time to hold such a hearing and he can come and share the other work that is being done and well try to get that calendared in the next couple of months. If we wait until march, i think well have a good idea about the logo. Thats true. Commissioners, i will caution now that were offtopic and this is not an agendaized item. Its Cultural Heritage work item. [laughter] all right. Its about whether we want the report and how we want it presented. All right. Last thing. Back on topic. The last thing is, i want to thank you and no good deed goes unpunished. When you created this beautiful thing, we asked you to add more information to it. Well continue to do that with this one. Thank you. Any member of the public wish to speak to this matter . Seeing and hearing none, well close Public Comment. Any other comments . Thank you for the reports. Hearing adjourned. Good morning everybody. My name is aaron peskin and it is my privilege to serve as a supervisor representing the third district. For those of you who do not know, i have long served in another capacity as the president of an environmental nonprofit that for the past 20 years has worked to negotiate the purchase of land and water rights on behalf of native american tribes in the great basin nations in the United States. For those who dont know where that is, the great states of nevada, utah, parts of arizona and oregon. And before that i worked at the trust public land. And im happy to lead with london breed, malia cohen, our former supervisor who first championed this issue, in favor of the full divestment from fossil fuels. I want to start by thanking the Broad Coalition of environmental advocates, Public Health advocates, clean fuel transportation activists, Democratic Party officials, grassroots advocates and retirement Board Members and as of last night, the commission on the environment who have turned out today to demand that San Francisco Employee Retirement system divest now from fossil fuels and were getting to labor, were saving the best for last. And i mean that sincerely and it is in my notes. I want to start by saying that sciu 101 has been the wind at our backs. I cannot thank you enough. To the folks from dapo, i cannot thank you enough. Well hear from all of them. I want to start not with our president , not with our retirement board member but with our former supervisor. We have a lot of great speakers but this started with supervisor john ovolose who first issued the resolution unanimously adopted by the board five years ago that has not yet be heeded but perhaps with malia cohens leadership will be heeded today. Good morning. Its great to be here. But also kind of strange to be here. Five years after we had first voted unanimously to call upon sfers to divest from fossil fuels. Since that time im a retiree of the sitting council of San Francisco, so i depend on sfers to respond. What we have done in five years of analysis, we know fossil fuel investments is a bad investment. Were seeing the great volatility of fossil fuels while our sfers overall fund has grown from 19 billion in 2013 to 23 billion in 2018, our fossil fuel portfolio has only stayed about the same, meaning this is a really poor investment while we see growth elsewhere. We know why its a bad investment. We are seeing increasingly, the harm thats caused low income communities of color, to cities and towns along the waterfront are suffering from Sea Level Rise, from climate, from dramatic climate events, from hurricanes and typhoons and in california we have our fires. These are all signs that our economy founded on oil and fossil fuel is one that harms life on earth. And its way past time that we start moving our economy to renewable power, Renewable Energy generation. We have called upon sfers for five years to do this, take our money out of fossil fuels and put in renewables and they have dragged their feet almost all the way, like they have the Donald Trump Administration on the board to deny the fact that the world is becoming harmed every day as we continue to invest in fossil fuels. I want to thank supervisor peskin, supervisor london breed and Supervisor Malia Cohen to continue with the work to make sfers do their part to divest and today well see if theyre going to move this the way they have had to these five years. Its time to divest, divest now, sfers your time is up, thank you. Thank you. This has been a tough 24hours in this building, but president breed said something which is profoundly important, that our relationships have to transcend and that number one, its all about public policy. And with that, under president breeds leadership, we, again, unanimously adopted last year the same resolution that a different board adopted when john was on the board of supervisors. It is my pleasure to introduce on the same policy page, the president of the San Francisco board of supervisors, london breed. Thank you. Hi everybody. Im happy to join many of our environmental leaders and our Community Members and members of the board of supervisors and everyone who is here today, who is committed to a cleaner planet for future generations. There are many people to thank, but i want to start by thanking Supervisor Malia Cohen, who is a member of the retirement board who has been leading the fight on this divestment at the retirement board along with victor macres who is also on the retirement board. Thank you both. I want to acknowledge Sophie Maxwell for her long time work to protect atrisk communities from polluting power plants and i want to thank labor. The members of sciu 101 and 350. Org for your advocacy and staying on top of the issue and members of the commission of the environment for ongoing advocacy on this measure. San francisco has always been a national and global trail blazer for environmental practices. We have reduced Greenhouse Gas emissions 28 below 1990 levels, cleaning our air while our population was growing and our economy was booming. We have launched our clean power program, clean power sf, the single most important thing we can do to combat Climate Change and i was proud to lead that initiative here on the board of supervisors. With the enrollment of clean power sf, were well on our way to achieving the 50 renewable target by 2020 and 100 by 2030. Goals that even outpace the Ambitious Goals set by the state of california. And were providing Reliable Energy at great prices. Through the work of so Many Community leaders, we closed the last two fossil fuel plants eight years ago in this city. And we are leading the nation in waste reduction and Resource Recovery thanks to the recycling and composting programs. We are recovering more than 80 of materials from landfill. We are preventing many harmful products from entering our city at off we were the first in the country to ban plastic bags and through legislation i proudly wrote we have the largest styrofoam plan and Drug Take Back Program that has kept more than 24,000 pounds of the bay and landfill. Thats what were doing here in San Francisco. San francisco has been at the forefront of so many Ground Breaking Environmental Issues and today, our retirement board has a chance to make history. We cannot continue investing in companies that pollute our ea h earth. Its time to divest. Its time to divest. Its time to divest. Its time to divest. And do so, quickly. Washington d. C. May ignore Climate Change. Our president may ignore Climate Change. But here in San Francisco, we are going to put this at the forefront. Were going to make sure that they know we have to make change and we have to make change now. Its not fair to our planet and future generations to come. Divest now, do the right thing, lets get this done. Thank you for being here today. applause thank you president london breed and thanks for shouting out Sophie Maxwell. We had two polluting plants, the Hunters Point plant that supervisor maxwell led the fight on closing and years later with the incredible work of the City Attorneys office, the murrant plant was closed. As supervisor breed said at the forefront of this, inside the belly of the beast, supervisor cohen has been a star in making sure that we divest. And that vote is happening shortly. She has to go in a closed session at 11 30. Supervisor cohen has been leading that fight and god willing, a little after 1 00 p. M. Well get that vote. Its still on the bubble but i know malia is going to make that happen. Thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, good morning. First, i want to recognize many people that have brought us to this point today. I dont see jed holtsman, hes been attending the sf retirement meetings for years. I want to recognize supervisor peskin for bringing this issue to us and lending his voice in the desire to put pressure on the staff to make this vote happen today. And i want to recognize supervisor ovolose, he took an unpopular position early on and i want to appreciate his leadership style, although different from mine. But nonetheless, here we are today. I think its a testament that you need both moderate and less support to make this happen. Its not a political issue, this is really the right thing to do when we think of the health and wellness of our entire world. I want to recognize the members of siu 101 who have spoken in two minute intervals. Many i had to cut off because your comments were too long but it was good to see you all. And the retirees making the most of their retirement time coming out to support. And i want to recognize the number of staff people to help me and educate me on the importance on this movement and how we can continue to move forward and uplift and recognize our indigenous folks who are here that led the way when they were fighting dapo. There are many people whose shoulders i stand on that we need to recognize. The seriousness of the issue were going to vote on today is not missed on me. We all know fossil fuels emissions are harming our children and health and doing irrepairable damage to our planet. As a city, we cannot build our pensions on the health and wellbeing of our children and future generations. But divestment is not just a moral imperative. This is not just a talking point, a political issue of the day. As a fiduciary member, we have a responsibility, as fiduciary member of the retirement board, i have to make sure every person can retire with dignity, with assurance that their pension is safe and no one is taking a gamble. The investments in fossil fuel endanger that promise. The board of supervisors has repeatedly demanded that staff implement divestment plan and frankly we have no plan. The engagement strategy that has probably had a hand in jed holtsmans hair falling out, i think you would agree that engagement strategy has been very hard to stomach. The staff has touted the strategy but honestly theres been no accountability. Theyve had no mandated timeline for any companys responsiveness. Im getting in the weeds but the retirement board has a process on how they pull back divestments and its a multi level multi tier response. Its too much pollution. They have not identified an acceptable ratio of returns to emissions. Due diligence hasnt been done. The process for evaluating environmental and social risk has been haphazard and inconsistent. As our city continues to pay out money for healthcare and invest in mitigating Sea Level Rise and trying to prevent flooding on our streets, we must put our money where our mouth is, we must stand up and shout out. Our pension budgets must not exassrbate the issues. We must limit for the safety of our residents and wellbeing of employees, working and retired. I call on my colleagues on the retirement board to join us, take our childrens future seriously and finally divest from fossil fuels. Ladies and gentlemen, i stand with you, im excited and im looking forward to casting my vote this afternoon. Thank you. applause thank you supervisor cohen. I want to make a few more shoutouts. First, as we just heard, this is not a conservative issue. This is not a liberal issue, this is not a moderate issue. This is not a progressive issue. This is a moral and financial imperative. To that end, supervisor cohen, supervisor breed and myself serve as members of the Democratic County Central Committee and it was our colleague keith boraka that issued it to divest. That passed unanimously. Thank you keith for that leadership. Thank you to bay. Org, fossil free sf, indian people organized for change, next gen america. Sf berniec. R. A. Ts. And last night with incredible testimony from victor who talked about the way the investment industry works, about score cards, out of the half a billion dollars that the San Francisco Employee Retirement system has invested in fossil fuels, over 20 of it has not yielded a positive return to the fund. Just what supervisor cohen was saying, for five years or more. Thats what we call a bad investment. That is a bad investment. This decision can be made as a fiduciary decision and moral imperative as we did around guns and ammunition and tobacco. It makes prudent sense for the retirement system to divest. I want to shout out the commissioners gathered here who took the very bold step and at the department of commission of the environment last evening voted for full divestment within 180 days. Which is a strong demand. Thank you commissioners. With that, i would like to bring up isabelle sezie who is a young leader, a grassroots leader and thank you isabelle for being here and thank you for your work. Good morning relatives. I come from the northern tribes. Im 23 yearsold and live on occupied territory. I want to first pay acknowledge to the people of the land we do stand on because indigenous voices, indigenous rights and sovereignty is important to remember and acknowledge. I am a member of idle no more sf bay. Sfd fund dapo coalition and defending mother earth treaty. I want to start by saying we welcome the pension board and seiu Public Sector members to join our ranks as water protectors. The vote to defund is critical. Its critical to protecting the water. The divestment vote and movement in San Francisco has been initiated and fostered by long standing grassroots, indigenous advocacy throughout Turtle Island and mobilizing groups that have fought long and hard for this moment today. We have seen and continue to see the violation of indigenous rights and the threats to our water. All of the sacred systems of life. The standoff at Standing Rock to stop the Dakota Access pipeline is not over and its just the beginning. To show that the many other Standing Rocks around the world that we are not afraid to stand up to big oil and to divest. The assault on mother earth is real. The Climate Crisis is real. And all who are living in those yet to be born need clean air, clean water and clean soil. And we need to remember that. We all need clean air, clean water and clean soil to live a healthy and sufficient life here on mother earth. And i want to thank the San Francisco board for hearing us out and responding to the frontline call to divest from fossil fuel projects and the investments. And last, i want you all to know that my generation, the next seven generations and all our non human relatives, we thank you for this and we will be completely relived of any hardships and i send my best regards to the vote in favor for us to divest completely of fossil fuel projects and infrastructure, expansions and any investments because we all know we need to keep it in the ground. Keep the oil in the ground, keep fossil fuels in the ground and divest. Thank you. applause thank you for those profound words. Before i introduce the final speaker, i want to say that all aspects of our government minus the sfers board, at least until 1 00 this afternoon, are on the same page and i want to shout out our City Attorney who has initiated some of the most Ground Breaking litigation against some of the largest fossil fuel polluters in the United States of america. And the reason i bring that up, because as cities and states start this kind of litigation, these investments become more and more risky. These become stranded assets and i speak to you not only as a member of the board of supervisors but as a member of the California Coastal commission, where last year more emergency permits were applied for because of Sea Level Rise, king tides, beaches being buried under the sea, than any previous year. As we just heard, this is real. We would not be here without the strong support of labor advocates. Sciu 101 have led on the fight and they take it personally because many are vested pensions invested in the risky big oil assets. Thank you joseph bryant, thank you Martha Hawthorne. With that, my friend joseph bryant. Who is ready to divest in fossil fuels . We are were not in the chamber. I want to hear noise. Who is ready to divest in dirty fossil fuels . We are thats right. Im the regional Vice President of sciu 101. We represent in San Francisco over 15,000 city workers who are vested in the citys pension fund and were urging the board of retirement to divest in dirty fossil fuels now. I want to give a huge shout out to everyone who has played an Important Role in this, its been a village that has come together to help move this. Thank you former supervisor ovolose, supervisor peskin, supervisor cohen, president breed. And the commission on the environment for your resolution pass last evening. Thank you very much and i would be remissed without acknowledging our retirees here who have broken their backs to ensure this is a priority for sciu 101, particularly david page, Melissa Hawthorne and many others here who have led the fight. With this, we have reached the point of insanity. Its a bad investment. Were losing money on this investment and destroying our communities and we still have to spend our time, energy and effort here to fight for it. What is going on. This is absolutely insane. With all the challenges were facing right now from the federal level, from throughout this country, were having to spend our time in the most progressive city in the country to fight for a very basic concept, to do the right thing, divest in fossil fuels. Were here for that and were not just asking to say do it eventually. We want a timeline. We want something real. We need something real. So please join us today sciu 101, again adamant supporter, well be up there in the chamber causing whatever ruckus we need to to ensure it happens. Thank you very much. All right. Lets keep it real, lets make it real at 1 00 p. M. , at 1145 Market Street on the sixth floor is the meeting. I hope all of us will be there sitting in the audience ready to testimony. And with that, Martha Hawthorne leading us in a few chants. They tend to come up here and drive right up to the vehicle and in and out of their car and into the victims vehicle, i would say from 1015 seconds is all it takes to break into a car and theyre gone.
