Recognizing the harmful impacts of the institutionalization of the youth of language to refer to formally incarcerated people surgerying all agencies in departments of the city and county of San Francisco to adopted personfirst language. Examples of personfirst language includes, formally incarcerated person, currently incarcerated persons, returning residents, and justice involved person ininstead of convict, fell on and everyday this job reminds me this job as power. As part of the plan the city describes traffic fatalities as occurring during collisions instead of accidents. As settled difference on the surface but important recommend indications. And accident is a responsibility of the individual and the result of a mistake and a system that depends on perfect behavior to produce ideal outcomes. A collision on the other hand is considered through a Public Safety lens and addressed to a comprehensive Public Policy and labels such as fell on, convict, offender parolee assign fault to the individual implicitly accuse them of some moral failure. This language has a culture in which were content to deny employment, housing, healthcare and professional licensing. Today the United States leads the world incarceration locking up a larger share of population 1 5 california residents currently has a criminal record. Our economy depends on the labor of these currently incarcerated people to introduce everything from military equipment to mcdonalds uniforms and safety depends on the thousands of incarcerated people who put their lives on the line to fight last years devastating wildfires.

It was born october 17th, 1979 in mexico one of more 10 siblings, he put family first from an early stage in the 1950s he made his way to california before arriving in San Francisco. Together with his brothers, chewy, jose and pablo, he will opened mexico lindo a restaurant that highlighted their homemade recipes and in 1968, he bought the building at 546 and moved his family in upstairs and opened his own restaurant. At the time, people thought it was a mistake to open a restaurant on valencia street insisting he would lose everything. This didnt dissuade him and his family who proudly operated it for the last 50 years. He is a true pillar of the community who enjoyed helping others. He fed the hungry and provided shelter to those in need. When he met people looking for work he would find odd jobs to help them out and helped the neighbors secure a grow green c. He was a humble man who never went to school and built his successful Small Business on his own. He became much more than a restaurant offering walls to host local artists and lending support to communities events he passed away may 20th, 2019. He was a loving son, brother, husband, father, grandfather, fatherfather and his four childn manage the restaurant and keep his dream alive. May he rest in peace and power and may his memory be a blessing, the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor. Thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues. Few months ago in march, supervisor fewer we release aid fivepoint Small Business protection and promotion strategy in front of the old gold spike restaurant on columbus avenue which has long been vacant due to a seismic retro fit and a question able Property Owner who doesnt live in the city and county of San Francisco. A lot has paid out in other publications with regard to what the root causes of vacancies are. The largely, if you read some of those articles, absent of actual Small Business owners voices. Although they do like to quote Real Estate Brokers who think the answer is more formula retail. So we continue to hear from brokers and Property Owners but the escalating concerns from the actual Small Business community are often kicked down the road and since march, my office has been convening real Small Businesses and their owners to hear directly from them and as the hurdles theyve been facing. One of the conclusions were coming to is that one of the chief obstacles is the incredible amount of fees that they have to pay and let me see some of those fees. A 2,000 fee for in respecting toilets, an 800 fee for operating a mobile food facility in addition to hundreds of dollars for the inspection of combustible materials. A 7,000 fee to operate a pawnshop. Thousands of dollars to operate as a tour guide and the list goes on and on. Theyre are actually 200 valid fees that a Small Business might be liable for. Today, im submitting a letter of inquiry to the Planning Department requesting data since january 1st of 2015 on the length of time from application to final approval to open a Small Business and also submitting a letter of inkawartha reto the Controllers Office as to each and every one of those fees that hopefully we collectively can right size. This is actually feeing our Small Businesses to death. Theres no fee as great as the rent being paid from Small Businesses which is precisely why i hope all of you will support for march of 2020 the much discussed vacancy tax that hopefully will charge Property Owners who do not exercise Due Diligence to reexercise the spaces. On other matters, im introducing another infusion of funding for this acquisition and rehab of 937 clay street which is a product of our 2016 Affordable Housing acquisition and rehab bond and proposition c and these funds continue to help preserve valuable Affordable Housing for the most vulnerable populations in the city and county of San Francisco. I do have an item for the impair tive calender which has been co sponsored by each and every one of you. I want to thank a few people. Theyre quite capable of council and theresa mueller, our mayor london breed, who joined with mayors la cardo and shaft in writing a letter opposing late friday evening amendments to Assembly Bill 1054 which is the is Assembly Bill being pushed by the Governors Office to deal with the wildfire cost and how the Electrical Industry going to be stabilized but on friday evening, amendments were added to that bill that would prevent San Francisco and other municipalities or at least hinder San Francisco and other municipalities from acquiring pg e infrastructure during their bankruptcy or after that bankruptcy by giving additional powers to the notorious California Public utilities commission. I want to publicly acknowledge our state senators scott winger, who courageously fought that yesterday in committee and decented on the floor of the senate last evening. The was the only democrat in the California State Senate to do so. Theres still hope on the assembly side. I want to thank my co sponsors supervisors brown and ronen and since introducing this to the imperative calender were later on well have to make findings that this is truly imperative and it truly is imperative and he grows its imperative because we only came to know about this after the agenda was published and if we fail to act, harm could be done to the city and county of San Francisco before our next Board Meeting a week from today. Id like to thank supervisors brown and ronen and my staff lee heppner and the others for drafting this resolution supporting Assembly Bill 1054 only if amended to strike the amendments that undermine San Franciscos authority to acquire assets of embattled public utilities, pacific gas and electric and i want to thank each and every member of the board here today who have since affixed their names as co sponsors. This is a shared imperative between the executive and legislative branches so i want to thank you for that. Finally, i would like to adjourn the Board Meeting in the memory of neo mallak who you can read in sam whitings obituary who passed away at age of 85. Found dead in death valley looking for a gold mine but used to pop up at my house at 10 00 at night knocking on the front door dis shelved and full of history. We will miss you. They have followed a regulation allowed what they have called mixed status families. Families that include members who immigration status makes them inhe will age able pro mating the assistance to cover only those family members considered eligible but now hud has proposed a new rule that would lead to the eviction of more than 100,000 people across the country. The rule would force every person under 62 living in federally subsidized Housing Assistance to undergo immigration status screenings by the department of homeland security. And in a brutal reversal of existing policy, hud would not allow mixed status families to remain together. Instead, families would have two impossible choices. Breakup or leave their homes. Imagine a mom perhaps undocumented, but just as likely someone with a visa who isnt eligible for a subsidy living in public house what is throw house children. The grandmother who lives with them and takes care of the kids sun documented. So either they all go or grandma goes. Imagine having to chose again your family and your home. The Mayors Office of housing and Community Development has project inside proposed rule would effect 164 deeply poor families in San Francisco. 680 people. Nearly half of them children. And its expect that many more who chose to leave out of fear. Ben carson justified the proposal rule by saying, its not that were mean hearted, its that were logical. You take care of your own first. The people he is attacking are our own. Our neighbors, our families. We cannot allow them to be turned out of their homes. I want to thank supervisors peskin, walton, mar, haney and fewer for co sponsoring this resolution and i hope you will join me in opposing this horrific potential policy change. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you. Have safai. Id like to be added to supervisor ronens resolution along with supervisor mandelman that has to do with ab5. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you. And supervisor walton.
