I am a community ambassador. We work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. What i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. They ask you questions, ask you directions, they might have a question about what services are available. Checking in, you guys. Wellness check.

You never know if they are alive. We let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they dont want to call the police on, they dont have to call the police. They can call us. We can direct them to the services they might need. We do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. There are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the ground. It is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. When we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311.

When we come back later in the day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes you feel good about what you are doing. It makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. The stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. You can see the community ambassadors. I used to be on the streets. I didnt think i could become a community ambassador. It was too far out there for me it was too far out there for me okay. , good afternoon okay, good afternoon. Im sorry, what . Okay, good afternoon. Welcome to the july 9th, 2019 regular meeting of the San Francisco board of supervisors. Madame clerk, please call the role. Thank you, mr. President. [roll call] mr. President , you have a quorum thank you. Ladies and gentlemen, will you please join me in the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] okay. On behalf of the board, i would like to acknowledge the staff of San Francisco government television, lawrence and alexander and jesse who record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. Madame clerk, are there any communications . Yes. We received a communication from the office of supervisor Catherine Stefani who anticipated being out of town today and requested to be excused from this meeting. Colleagues, can i have a motion to excuse supervisor stefani from the meeting . Motion made by supervisor ronen and seconded by supervisor safai without objection, supervisor stefani is excused. So, madame clerk and colleagues, before we move on, i would like to do something a little bit different today and introduced to you a new segment to highlight the work of our city departments that are sometimes overlooked. Today we will have a short clip from whats next San Francisco, or whats next s. F. , produced by our Emmy Awardwinning team at San Francisco government t. V. , featuring the department of recreation and park and theyre wheelchair basketball program. Can we roll the clip . I got the hang of it a little bit from the first time. I never left the court. I just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didnt have to ask me twice. That is where you can always find me, on the court. [ ] thank you to some generous support for sports and recreation, we have been able to purchase approximately 12 athletic wheelchairs. This grant provides a really expensive tool to facilitate basketball, specifically. Behind me are the amazing golden skate war golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state. Led by its captain, chuck gill, it was a National Pair olympian and is now an assistant coach on the u. S. National team. It is great to have this opportunity here in San Francisco. This is the main hub of the bay area which, you know, we should definitely have these resources here. Now that that is happening, you know, i am looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that these resources are here for everyone. I think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as ablebodied to be able to see and to try this sport and to appreciate just trying different things. People can come and check out the chairs to use them any time we have openings, but also friday evenings from 6 00 p. M. Until 8 00 p. M. , it will be wheelchair basketball. We will make sure the floor is available. That way people can no that other people can come into play at the same time. We always try to meet people where they are at regardless of any difference in ability. We offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusionary programming, but this is the first time we have ever had our own equipment and that enables us to do some important things. [ ] thank you. Thank you. You know, we often times are here to critique, criticize, or to try to get our departments to be more aware of issues that come from our home districts and throughout the city and we forget on a daily basis that our departments actually do a lot of positive things. I want to take the opportunity to maybe do this once a month where we have these short segments. I hope that you will provide some suggestions and some of the departments that you would like to see. I think it is important for the public to know how our tax dollars are being spent. Okay . So, thank you. Lets go to our approval for the Meeting Minutes. Yes, approval of the june 4 th, 2019 Board Meeting minutes. Colleagues, today we are approving the minutes from june 4th, 2019. Are there any changes to these Meeting Minutes .

Colleagues, would anyone like to sever any items from the Consent Agenda . Seeing no names on the roster, madame clerk, please call the role. On items one through five. [roll call] there are ten imacs. Okay. Without objection these ordinances are passed on First Reading unanimously. Madame clerk, please call the next item. Item six is an ordinance to call and provide for special election to be held in the city on tuesday, march 3rd, 2020 for the purpose of submitting to the San Francisco voters a proposition to incur bonded debt of this city in the amount of 620. 5 million to finance the construction and seismic retrofitting of multiple facilities for earthquake safety and Emergency Response pursuant to california Government Code Section 43607 and 608.

Chair peskin okay okay. Colleagues, can we take this same house, same call . This ordinance is finally passed madame clerk, please call item number 8. Item eight is an ordinance to amend the ministry to code to establish the cooperative living living opportunities for Mental Health loan fund and the Mental Health program to finance the acquisition of Residential Properties operated as communal housing for people with chronic Mental Illness and or Substance Use disorders. Colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call . Without objection oh, i see supervisor safai. Sorry, you are moving so fast i almost missed it. Colleagues, i am in support of this amendment, this legislation today. I think it is very thoughtful. I wanted to add my name is a cosponsor, but just speaking to the sponsor of the legislation, i wanted to add one small piece of language on i am proposing an amendment on line 23, page 5 that would add the ability that there would be an appraisal of the Property Done before any purchase of the property, so that would just be four words after the word start with the Program Regulations shall address matters such as programs and fund administration, public and competitive processes to apply for loans, compliance with applicable laws and regulations, appraisal of the property affordability restrictions for the longest possible term. Those will use the funds underwriting the criteria and Transaction Processing documentation and compliance monitoring and enforcement. Okay. Any objection . I see there is a motion put forward by supervisor peskin. I think the actual provision in the code is pursuant to chapter 23 of the administrative code, but i will defer to council. Deputy city attorney. You are correct, supervisor peskin that chapter 23 addresses appraisal requirements for city purchases of property. This amendment will authorize the department to adopt regulations regarding appraisals under this program. Okay. Any other comments . While i have the floor, perhaps a relevant section of law that supervisor safai wants to refer to his chapter 23 of the administrative code. He said applicable law, the applicable law is that chapter. The current ordinance provides that the department will adopt regulations regarding compliance with applicable law and other issues including appraisals, Program Administration et cetera. So i think supervisor safais amendment hits the mark. For the president , i get it. Is there a second for that . Okay. If there is no objection, one can we take the amendment as stated . Okay. Motion passes. Colleagues, can we take this item same house, same call as amended . Without objection, this ordinance as amended is passed. On First Reading, mr. President. Thank you for the correction. This ordinance is passed as amended on First Reading unanimously. Madame clerk, please call the next item.
