Safety and Neighborhood Services committee. I am supervisor rafael mandelman, chair of the committee. To my right is vice chair stefani and walton. Now, obviously we have some items that have generated significant interest. We have overflow seating in room 263 and were trying to set up in the north lake court. So, everyone should be able to watch this and come in and speak on items that are of interest to them. Mr. Clerk, do you have any announcements . Yes, thank you mr. Chair. Make sure you silenced your cell phones. Items acted upon today will appear on the june 18th, supervisors agenda. Thank you, mr. Clerk, please call the first item. A hearing to consider the issuance of the type 21 offsale general beer, wine, and distilled spirits of Liquor License. Thank you, is the a. L. U. Here . Maybe we dont have the a. L. U. Here. So, we could i suppose continue this item later in the agenda. If you like to do that, i think the applicant may be here. Well, we should probably hear from the a. L. U. We could hear from the applicant. All right, lets start with the a captain applicant, come on go ahead. Good afternoon supervisors. My name is melanie johns, im outside Alcohol Council to the prime now l. L. C. I have kara, she is with the Public Policy team at amazon and she will be speaking after me about community engagement. So, first of all i like to start by acknowledging that this p. C. N. Application is a little bit different than most that probably come before you. The goal with this license application is to add delivery to an existing fulfillment warehouse. It is not to open a Grocery Store or convenient store, or a similar model that you probably usually see with a type 21 license. The a. B. C. Has certain requirements that establish that a type 21 licensee may obtain a brick and mortar presence. Our goal is delivery. We work with the a. B. C. To establish a set of standard conditions that would meet our goals of providing Delivery Services while still meeting the minimum basic requirements for having a retail premises. I understand that the a. L. U. Usually starts off and reads the conditions into the record, so you probably dont have those with you, but i can give a brief summary on what those are. The retail premises at this storefront, again, this is an existing fulfillment warehouse. The retail premises is 150 to 200square foot small retail storefront. Walking into the storefront, you would not see any alcohol on display and instead you would be provided with a tablet, where you could order alcohol. Emotion most of the alcohol will be available for delivery. The hour of operations for the retail premises is limited to 50 of the hours that we exercise delivery privileges, so for this particular store, we work with the local Community Members and came up with early hours of operation. The retail storefront will be open from 8 00 a. M. To 4 00 p. M. Daily, while delivery will exist as it already exists at this facility. So the operations here, we would not be adding any additional employees. We do not expect any increase delivery drivers and instead we expect that people that are already ordering for delivery, for grocery delivery from prime now, that they will be able to add beer, wine, and distilled spirits to their orders. This is not prime nows first license location in california. We currently have six existing facilities, so again we work closely with the a. B. C. And local communities in order to establish these licenses. Were currently operating in sacramento, los angeles, sunnyvale, irvine, and san diego with another license to issue shortly in los angeles. There the time that weve been licensed, we have not had a customer walk into any of these storefronts. We have not had any accusations or license violations or condition violations regarding sales to minors or anything of that sort. Prime now has proven to be a good licensee with the alcohol and Beverage Control and making sure those retail premises are small and nonintrusive because the focus is on delivery. Ill turn it over to kara to discuss the Community Outreach aspect. Thank you melanie. I will try to be brief. I think you have a packed agenda today. Would you pull the mic up to your mouth. Your name again . Sorry, kara rucker. I work with amazon and ive been the point of contact with the neighborhood. I appreciate you taking the time to hear from us today. I wanted to touch on our engagement with the neighborhood. We originally sat down with the group in january and since then, we have been communicating via email daily. We truly appreciate their willingness to work with us and cultivate what will be a mutually beneficial partnership. We highlighted many opportunities to work with the neighbors and we made great progress to the buildings and surrounding areas. There are additional opportunities for the neighborhood beautification. We appreciate your willingness to let us continue these discussions, both with dna and the green benefit district and work oncoming to the board in the coming weeks to pass forward. Thank you, i do not see any comments or questions from my colleagues. We still do not have the a. L. U. Here. Perhaps we will take Public Comment on this item. Is there any Public Comment on this item . Then come on up and ill tell you about some things about Public Comments. This goes for everybody. Speakers will have 2 minutes. We ask that you state your first and last name and speak directly into the microphone. If you prepared a written statement, you can leave it with the committee clerk. No applause or booing is permitted. Speakers are encourage to avoid repetition of previous statements. Go ahead. Good afternoon, my name is tim, im a Union Representative with the united commercial workers located here in San Francisco. Were a labor union that represents 4,000 members in the food and drug industry. We are in opposition to the issuance of a Liquor License at 888 tennessee street to amazon prime now. They have a history of mistreatment of their workers and they destroy Small Businesses around the nation. If a license is granted, it would destroy whatever Small Businesses are left and the character and vibrancy of this city. It will also affect the employees that we represent in the food and Drug Administration. We are against of the Liquor License. Thank you. Next speaker. I want to just follow up with what my colleague has said in regards to online ordering. We actually faced issues on certain delivery online establishments where projects are being left on the doorsteps unattended and it is concerning where youre leaving alcohol and anybody can just come by and pick it up. Thank you. Thank you, next speaker. There is always a lot of controversy when alcohol is involved. If alcohol is being abused, it is a problem to the addict called an alcoholic. Anyone following rules and regulations pertaining to business and the code of ethics and the business professional code and you have a Liquor License, you have a constitutional right to distribute alcohol just like anybody else. We had this problem in the tenderloin where people were objecting to liquor distribution of alcohol in the neighborhood because this is contributing to the delinquency of alcohol abuse, and the stores stopped selling small bottles of alcohol because it was littering the community and exacerbating chin alcoholism. The owner of that store has the constitutional right to sell alcohol to people here. Just like the people here have the constitutional right to sell alcohol. If youre not breaking the rules or constitutional law, you cant be objected. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public that like to speak on this item before i close Public Comments . Seeing none, Public Comments is now closed. We continue to await the a. L. U. What i like to do on this item is continue it later in the meeting, but well take it up before we get to the vaping rela related and nicotine related items. I believe the petitioners council presented the a. L. U. s. I dont have any objection if we move it until later or move forward if it is the will of the chair. I think it would be good for us to give the a. L. U. An opportunity to show. I mean there is a time constraint on this item and i think its important that we act on it at this meeting to ensure our 90 days dont expire. I think just to have completeness, and partly because i do not understand why the a. L. U. Is not here 20 minutes into our meeting when they said they would be here. I think we should hold up for them and wait for them to get here. I dont want to keep folks waiting for a conversation about ecigarettes. Youre fine either way. So, i think we should continue this to later on in the agenda but before items 5 and 6. Is that something we can do . Can we do that without objection . Great. Mr. Clerk, please call the next item. The resolution supporting California State Assembly bill number 1076 by phil ting. Great, thank you mr. Clerk. I think we have derek here from supervisor browns office. Good morning supervisors. Thank you for the opportunity to speak with you. I will be brief because i know you have a long meeting ahead of you. 1076 will provide relief to advance the goals of Restorative Justice for an estimated 8 million californians which records hamper them from finding jobs or get into college. 80 of landlords and 60 of colleges screen applicants criminal records. 1076 provides relief to several million of californians that have been arrested and never charged or convicted of a crime, but still face the obstacles as those convicted of a crime. What this law will do, it will require the California Department of justice to review their criminal justice databases on a weekly bases to recognize people eligible for dismissal or expungement of their records. It will go back to 1973 to find folks eligible for automatic relief. Some eligible for relief are those who completed their probation or county jail sentences and others are those with arrest records that did not result in a conviction. Under 1076, those records will be removed automatically. It does not apply to folks who have been convicted of violent felonies, sexual felonies, or serious felonies. The current law allows folks to petition the court to do this, but only 20 of people do petition the court. Its estimated that many do not do it as an option because they dont know its an option or they lack the resources. As a result, millions of californians find themselves in paper prison for life after they paid their debt to society. The National Institute of justice found that having a cm record reduces a persons chances of getting a job offer by 50 . 75 of People Living in paper prisoners say it prevents them from getting a job. Under the clearance system, each record system cost the state over 3,500 to process but with this automated system, the cost plummets to just . 04 per record. As a city, we said to the world, we must do better in instituting Restorative Justice. Folks who have paid their debts to society or who never owed a debt must be able to access jobs, housing and other opportunities without encountering roadblocks that would be removed if they had the means to do so. I want to thank you for the time to speak on this and i hope you will move this forward with a positive recommendation. Thank you. Doesnt look like we have questions for you so i will open this up to Public Comments. This is a good law and its a derivative of the infractions of jaywalking tickets, open container, infraction laws, tickets are generated for infractions, not a misdemeanor, but infraction. I believe his name is judge hines handed down a court order where all these types of charges are to be dropped in order not to put a burden on the Justice Center and the people that are ticketed because theyre economically disadvantaged and have a hard enough time to survive in the first place. Its tough enough to go through the Justice System and then convicted and serve your time and paying a debt to society, let alone when you go through the system, youre innocent and when you get out, you still have this in your background and its being held against you. So, its definitely good law and even when its passed, its still going to be difficult in order to get established because the harm thats done to an individual. Its a starting point and i think its an excellent type of law to use, just like the law that was used to get rid of unnecessary tickets and putting a burden on the criminal Justice System and issuing out bench warrants for a failure to appear for a jaywalking ticket. You should be concentrating on more serious crimes like felonies and serious misdemeanors so i stipulate and i agree with this. Thank you. Are there any other members of the public that like to speak on this item . Hello, good afternoon. I wasnt going to speak on this but its very timely. Im cochair of the africanamerican council. Were here for the other items coming up. Weve been working with Restorative Justice around this country. One of the things we have been working to prohibit the sale of men that and Tobacco Products around the country and our proponents say were criminalizing black and brown men. They said this will be an increase in criminal justice, their interactions with police officers. We want cities to be mindful that were moving ahead with a lot of Restorative Justice. Im so proud to see that San Francisco expunged the record for cannabis arrests. We as the africanamerican Tobacco Control leadership council, we do not do our work in a vacuum. We know the issues facing our community and were working on these issues as well. Thank you. Thank you. Are there any other members of public that would like to speak on this item. Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor walton. Thank you chair mandelman. I like to lend my support to the resolution. I was just meeting with someone this morning that was acquitted of a crime and still has to deal with some of the stigma around being arrested and things come up that keep him from employment opportunities, even after acquittal. So this is important so that we can eliminate some of those barriers that keep people from being able to successfully reenter society, particularly for folks who have not committed major crimes and this is just another way of eliminating some of those layers that keep them from getting back into society. So, im definitely in support of this. Great, vice chair stefani. Thank you chair mandelman. I like to thank supervisor brown for bringing this forward and i want to add my name as a co sponsor. The one criminal defense case i took was reducing someones felony to a misdemeanor. I am in full support of this. Great. So, supervisor walton would you like to move to forward the board with a positive recommendation. Yes. And we will take that without objection. Mr. Clerk, can you please call our next item. Item number 3, a public works mutual aid agreement executed among and by various california cities and counties. It requires a city county, or city and county that receives mutual aid that receives mutual aid. Tell us whats going on. Thank you for bringing up this item. Im with San Francisco public works government affairs. Im here to seek your recommendation on this residence lug resolution. Can i have the presentation. Thank you. So the public works mutual aid agreement was established in october 1989 as means for them to receive mutual aid quickly following a Natural Disaster like an earthquake. 19 counties and 155 cities in california have been party to the agreement. A few things about the agreement, assistance in voluntary and participating agencies are under no obligation to provide or complete their own resources. Requesting resources are to be reimbursed by fema. In order to request mutual age, an emergency proclamation is required. Public works has an Important Role to play in the event of a disaster or emergency. All City Employees are designated as Disaster Service workers. In the event of an emergency, public works will be responsible for clearing debris, assessing damaged buildings and structures. Prompted by the severe fires that have been affecting our state in the past several years, our agencies have been in conversations regarding disaster response. While were not susceptible to the wildfires that affect the states more wooded areas, much of the Planning Centers on seismic events and associated damage. In the event of a large earthquake, we would like to request aid from nearby jurisdicti jurisdictions. Public works would also like to be able to lend assistance. Providing assistance to other localities will provide a valuable experience to our employees. Im joined by our Emergency Planning manager and we are happy to answer any questions. Doesnt look like we have questions. So, we will take Public Comment on this item. Are there any members of the public who would like to speak to us on item number 3 . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Vice chair stefani, would you like to move this to the full board with positive recommend. So moved. Great, we will take that without objection. Thank you.
