Once again, thank you, again for all of your great work on this. We really appreciate it. Supervisor mandelman thank you again. Next speaker. Im ed gershin. Our actions are going to need to include Large Capital investments. When we say things like large transit for boats cant be addressed, we need to make sure that we have the p. R. Necessary in San Francisco to address those challenges. Also, in terms of housing policy, we need to be conscious that landlords may not be incentivized upgrade to renewable energy, and we need to either mandates or incentives to make sure that landlords are also upgrading the apartments that they control when its the tenants that pay for that. Also, we need to be cognizant of the land use of San Francisco and untalso of peopl that may not move to San Francisco because of those policies. And also, we need to have a lot of trees and ensure we have a sufficient tree canopy in San Francisco. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hello. Im josh lee. Ive lived in district one with supervisor fewer, whos not here today. Im a new resident. I moved here two days before the campfire began. I couldnt breathe my first month in San Francisco, which was a very unwelcome moving present. Supervisor mandelman if there are folks who did not hear me say their name but did want to speak in Public Comment, it might be a good time to lineup on the side. My name is sheela islam, im here representing clean water action. So thank you so much for joining us and declaring a Climate Emergency . And to all those that contributed to the report, thank you . I also want to reemphasize what other people have brought up, which was the lack of equity and resiliency brought up in the report . It should be included in every single aspect of the report, not just cobenefits. It should be an integral part of this report. Also, San Francisco as an environmental leader, we need you in the normalization effort. I want to extent to you an invitation to the meetings that happen once a month . We cannot do this without you. We know that Climate Change problems dont recognize city limits . So please join us, and yeah, thank you so much. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. My name is steven, and im a lifelong bay area resident. Ive lived in San Francisco for three years now and i volunteer with citizens climate lobby. I want to thank you, supervisor mandelman and everyone thats been working hard on this issue and giving it the important it deserves. In my small way, ive experienced Climate Change as an avid hiker. Ive seen places that i love burned to the ground. My impact pales in comparison to californiiaans whose home h burned down. For them, the emotional and financial burden of Climate Change is immeasurably more than mine, and sadly, more californians will be joining them. Hi. Im kathy from mothers out front. We work for liberal climate for our children. Most of our members are mothers who actually couldnt be here at this time, so this is another reminder of the time of this as a number of other people have mentioned. Any way, we appreciate the focus of this plan. On a macrolevel, we are delighted that San Franciscos working with other regions and countries but working together to maintain what we hope might be a sustainable environment for our children. We are glad that San Franciscos an active part of that. As was just mentioned, the environment is becoming a major consideration for families choosing to stay in the city. Schools and parks and housing are important, but a coordinated approach in a quality of life can make a huge difference whether families decide to stay here. So we appreciate the emergency and coordinated approach around environment. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hi. Anastasia. Im here with a very small, very easy to do request, and you dont need to do anything. You just need to do things that are better for the environment and for climate. Dont destroy trees. As you probably know in 2016, San Francisco somehow adopted this insane plan which set quotas for cutting down 18,000 healthy mature big trees and an uncounted number of small trees. Now the 2030 report calls and lauds the plan to plant 50,000 trees, so cutting down this 18,500 big trees plus uncounted number of small trees will completely wipe out this achievement which the plan will provide. You know, the trees are big, and it takes time to grow. The cost of the plan in 2007 was estimated by legislative analysts to be 5. 4 million. So dont waste this money and use this instead in planting trees. I urge you to review this plan and dont allow any tree cutting. Now, i just want to quickly add that there was some talk about nativenonnative, its not complete not true that native animals need native trees to live. Thank you very much. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is charles whitfield. Im a soma resident. Previous speakers have commented on the huge carbon impact on the food San Francisco imports, not just what we produce locally. Its a great point, and theres another resource that we import and export every day in huge numbers with huge Climate Impact even though we could maintain it locally here in the city. Its people. Im here to urge the commission to expand the recommendations of the 2030 report by enforcing Rapid Development of infill housing. I applaud the Climate Emergency declaration examine im delighted to see the report focus on more sustainable transit 6789 San Francisco must acknowledge its role not only as a direct emitter of carbon but as an incentivizer of carbon of millions of San Francisco residents. The challenge is much greater than net zero emissions. Homes in San Francisco are far greener than most homes elsewhere, but these homes arent very helpful when we build so far. In effect, every home that we dont build new forces people to generate far more emissions in other communities. San francisco does not exist in a vacuum. If the city reduces its emissions to zero while doing nothing to reduce the growing emissions our economy occurs outside our borders, we will accomplish little. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. My name is tonya mcneil. I live in district ten. I just threw out my speech when i heard what everyone was saying. It seems to me that the city needs to mobilize the way the nation did after pearl harbor, that the city, the citizens, the businesses, all the agencies need to all Work Together, and they need to make change, and they need to collaborate at the deepest level all the way through the city. They and the city needs rather than, you know, everybody going off and doing their own thing, they need a climate czar. You need a climate czar who has the executive power of and vision of of Harry Hopkins in the w. P. A. , in the new deal, that you need a marketing genius like our erstwhile president in the white house, and you need to have a megaphone that gets out there so that everybody in the city hears about this so there are working groups across departments, agencies, the school district, the neighborhood coalition, all levels churches. And i just want to point out that there are a couple of policies right now that are really counter to what youre trying to do today. For instance, in the eastern neighborhood plan in which the definition of green space is almost as narrow as the sidewalk area. So there are almost no trees in the eastern neighborhoods. And [inaudible] supervisor mandelman thank you. [inaudible] supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hi. My name is bob walsh. Im a senior manager of Public Relations here at scoopnecks in San Francisco. Already two thirds of our multirides and a third of our kick scooter rides replace car trips, usually ride hails. Expanding shared transportation opportunities are the most effective way for San Francisco to reduce co2 emissions. We seek broader relationships with all City Departments. I feel compelled to state that our transportation objectives align perfectly with our vision zero goals. Already in 2019, 14 people have died while walking and cycling in our streets. Reducing traffic cleans our air and makes our city more livable. Im lucky to have lived in San Francisco my entire life. Time and again the examples set in our tiny city have said the standard for set the standard for global communities. Good afternoon, supervisors. My name is paul warmer. Ive heard a lot of things i might have said myself earlier today, so i wouldnt bother to repeat them. I should say there are a lot of good ideas out there, and this is actually a very good report. It really says what is the problem and what we need to have. I would urge that there be a dedicated Department Position sometimes departments dont always play well together, and we need to change that. One of the challenges we have now is the behavior change and the adoption both by city or should i say by city, by business, and by residents. Thats going to take much better outreach than we normally have. Ive been to, for example, multiple sfmta meetings, and many of them follow what appears to be the three i public process invite, inform, ignore. Thats not going to work. In the interest of social justice and Environmental Justice and in getting people to buy in, they needs to be a there needs to be a robust public input process. I would site the cite the plan that d. B. I. Used, and i would ask you to consider that when you draft implementations. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Hi. I just want to thank you, the supervisors, and everybody whos here. This has been an amazing coming together of ideas. I just want to say i hope that the supervisors can drop their differences with the various departments and just go for the biggest picture possible, get the money together, get together with the other cities in the bay area. We need unity, and we need to look at all solutions as fast as we can. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. Darryl in district five. Id like to ask you for doing this. The urgency, you know, were constantly hearing about more ice melting, the permafrost is going. The climate czar is something to think about, but were not doing enough. A much more has to be done. Thank you. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Next speaker. I specifical i specifically wanted to go last because i wanted to wrap this up for recommendations and calls for action for you, supervisors and the City Department or those remaining. I do realize that people will be watching this tomorrow or are watching it in their offices rather than in chambers. I want to first commend the bravery it took for you guys, for you guys to actually spear head this thing. It takes bravery. You guys are being subjected to what i feel are also deficiencies in this technical report. But lets move forward with the process because this outlines where we are right now, where we should be, and where well end up if we do nothing else. How we get there is the critical part. Thats the part that leaves nobody behind, makes sure this is fully funded and makes sure we realize on a global level by acting on a local level. So here with my recommendations. Number one, i would like to see a full bodied Economic Analysis on what itll take to do all of the things that are in that technical report. I want it to be sanctioned by the city. I need to have community and merchant input into how it will affect them, as well. Number two, i would like to see a Deputy Director level position in every department in this city fully funded and budgeted. I dont care if its appointed by you guys or by the mayor, but we really need that in order for the collaboration were going to need. Number three, i need to see a comprehensive stakeholder process, including one of the deficiencies of this report that was not brought up, which was a roles and responsibility list or chart of everybody whos going to be affected by this. That means everybody in this city. Supervisor mandelman how many more points do you have . What are your two points . Number three i would like to see this Strategic Plan before messing with the code. Supervisor mandelman i think youre still on the mic, and you should be. Oh, so Strategic Plan before the code because the Strategic Plan will include all of the things that ive stated up until now and will get us there. And my final one, id like to see a lot more citizen daylight in all of this process. We need to be involved in all of the back channel meetings between these department dos, that is my last request for moving out of this out of committee. Thank you. Thank you so much. Supervisor mandelman thank you. Are there any other members of the public that would like to speak before we close Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I have a couple of comments. I want to begin by thanking supervisor safai and haney for staying here to allow this hearing to continue, a very, very long hearing. I want to thank the departments for their presentations. I want to note that as long as this hearing was, i actually asked a couple of departments that wanted to present and i do want to apologize to the department of building inspection and s. F. O. For streamlining the presentations and to the departments that did present, they all had much longer presentations, that we were reduced in the interests of being able to get to Public Comment and get through this hearing and not keep my colleagues here too terribly late. Im going to ask director raphael to come up and address a couple of issues that came up. I want to thank the speakers that came out. A number of speakers said we didnt have the speakers that should be here because its midday, but this is a pretty good turnout for midday. Supervisor haney, you want to jump in . Supervisor haney yeah. I have to go, unfortunately. Two things i would like to follow up on is a number of folks brought up really an equity lens to this and how that can kind of be called out more specifically, and also, the piece around the Animal Agriculture and how we have a real strategy around that. I completely agree with that, and so how can we build that into this, and how can we Work Together to do that. So those are the two things that i wanted to really flag. Supervisor mandelman thanks, supervisor haney. Supervisor haney can you respond . Both of those issues are in the report. They clearly did not rise to the level of depth and clarity that people need, and so its a great feedback to publish that and im happy to get that to you. Supervisor mandelman so whats tso supervisor haney so whats the next step . The next step is to elevate those. And then, as we move forward on the Climate ActionStrategy Development with the public those strategies are much broader than this focus 2030 report, and a lot of those well at least the strategies like animal alri cull enter animate at that level. Supervisor haney great. And like Animal Agriculture animate at that level. Supervisor haney great. And thank you for getting back on that for me. Supervisor mandelman some of these but for my slicing of these presentations, there would have been more discussion on equity. Its unfair to ask you to address that, but there is a whole separate lane of work that is being done on resilience and adaptation, but there is a process, reports, and work being done which could also fill a fourhour hearing and in fact is going to fill hearings going forward. So i dont know if you want to say anything more than that. Yeah. I thought that was a very fair comment, and it was very intentional. This is a mitigation report, and when you do and because the universe of what we need to do around Climate Change is so huge, the resilience and adaptation elements will have their own report, and we are and what we are doing and im so excited about that with our offices at city planning, im interested in finding what those triple word scores, if you will, between adaptation and resilience. So between that, we always want to come back and say whats the most important thing the city can do to address all of those together. This, the climate resolution, the emergency resolution was very focused on a very small part of the whole. Supervisor mandelman and that theyre intimately related and there are hearings like this where we can only cutoff discreet bits. Given what this hearing is, and again, thanking people for coming out and giving their public testimony just conte contextualize, youre going through a broader and more thorough process in working through your Climate Policy chapter nine revisions which will come back to this board in the next six months . Correct. Supervisor mandelman and we will have hearing, discussion, and go through that. And that is to inform the Climate Action strategy which is, again, a much bigger, broader, and more comprehensive document that we need to adopt next year. Yes. Thats beautifully put. And i would say that the report, which people may not realize, came out of a request a 100day report. So the climate Resolution Department says climate department
