Today. And then, i want to thank supervisor mandelman for sitting in and taking my place today. Our clerk today is victor young. And who do we have for sfgov . And today, we have Michael Baltazar and samuel wick. Okay. So first, id like to have a motion to excuse supervisor ronen. And with that, ill take that as a majority. With that, do you have any announcements mr. Clerk . Clerk yes. Please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. Completed documents and paperwork should be submitted to the clerk. Items acted upon today are going to be heard on the september 1 meeting or as otherwise stated. Supervisor walton with that, mr. Clerk, would you please read the first item. Clerk item number one is a motion appointing supervisor gordon an mar, term ending june 30, 21, to the bay area governments executive board. Would you like to make a motion to excuserecuse supervisor mar . Supervisor walton yes. And supervisor mandelman, supervisor mar on board . Well take that without objection. Are there any members of the public who would like to speak on item number one, please standup. You have two minutes for Public Comment. Coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods here on my own behalf here in strong support for supervisor mars appointment to abag as abags role in casa. However, casas role is changing. Abags role has become more critical especially in terms of ab 1487, david chius legislation. Originally, ab 1487 was a Housing Authority bill with financial capablities. Now david chiu has gutted his own bill so it is a regional authority, a taxing authority. Even though abag is a public committee, they met privately with representative chiu. The abag meeting stated that the vote was whether or not to have the authority to place a Regional Finance Authority on the ballot. Despite this description, it was unclear what ballot this would be placed on and what the ballot language would be. Based on my subsequent discussions with Committee Staff in sacramento, the most likely scenario for the vote was to place abag as a candidate for a floor vote. I would urge supervisor mar to look at these from a fresh perspective. Supervisor walton next speaker. Permarsupervisor mars been excused, but i appreciate the way youve been handling this. I made those presentations, and you moved accordingly. And yet, the board of supervisors got all the credit. Yet that happened that happens to me all the time. Even though president yee got most of the credit for that, i know youre the one that initiated that. Id like you to follow up on my demonstrations by means of including all the income people who are on the documentation thats used to produce the income rates for socalled 100 Affordable Housing. You claim its 100 , but yet every housing is targeted to the lowest income in order to be a tenant that come out of the Mayors Office on housing is higher than the income thats reported on a requirement in order to be a tenant in the building. Cant get you on discrimination based on race because the people in office is discriminating against people with the same skin color as themselves. Its disgusting. You sit up there saying that 50 of the a. M. I. Is Affordable Housing. And people that make 55,000, 60,000 a year cant apply. I move to have all that scale thats included in that Housing Authority the lowest income is not included in the equal housing opportunity. Supervisor walton thank you, mr. Supervisor. Any other Public Comment . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. So looking at the motion to approve supervisor mar, supervisor mandelman and i are on the same page, so we would like to move this forward with a positive recommendation without objection. Clerk Committee Report. Supervisor walton as a Committee Report. Clerk this item will be recommended to the full board as a Committee Report. Supervisor walton thank you very much. Now were going to take item number three. Were going out of order, and im going to recuse myself while the item is going to be heard. [agenda item read]. Clerk is there a motion to excuserecuse vice chair walton from this . Yeah. Supervisor mar so were on item 2. Clerk item three. Supervisor mar i so guess we can go to Public Comment. Is there any member of the public who wishes to speak to this item, please come forward. You have two minutes. Mr. Wright . Air quality and management, youve got a problem there. Hunters point, Naval Shipyard has caused unlimited amount of black people, and by the same response, other nationalities who live in that area to die because of cancer causing material. Thousands, possibly millions have died, and youve got the same problem as Treasure Island. But youre building a complex. And now, youre building a complex for adolescents. There was a man who came to jane kims office explaining how he had two cancer causing surgeries on his stomach while living on Treasure Island, and he testified how jane kim slammed the door in his face. Its disgusting. Nobodys discussing this issue. Air Quality Management, if youre going to be in charge, earn your pay and quit putting profit over safety. Lets get this done. We have had this several times, several hearings, and nothing. And then, when the white men get caught falsefying results, you come running. But yet, when black people come to you, explaining how their relatives are dieing, nothings being done. So you need to use somebody thats not on the same payroll system as yourselves so you can get a true and correct measurement of the air quality. Supervisor mar thank you. Are there any other members of the public that wish to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. I would just like to state that i think that its great that supervisor walton is able to step up to the board of the bay area air Quality Management district. As the other supervisor thats on thatrd b board, i really am think that it its important for supervisor walton to be on the board given that the most impacted areas are in district 10, so i think that itll be important that we to continue to protect the health and environment of the most overburdened communities in San Francisco. So i wouldnt i would move that we appoint supervisor walton to the bay area air Quality Management board of directors to the full board as a Committee Report without objection. Clerk this matter will be recommended as a Committee Report to tomorrows board meeting. Supervisor mar great. All right. I i guess well well, well wait for him. Clerk next item on the agenda is motion number two, is a motion reappointing supervisor raphael mandelman, term ending june 30, 2022, to the bay area air Quality Management board. Is there a motion to recuse . Supervisor walton yes. Supervisor manned widelman, thu so much. With that said, Public Comment on item number two . Youll have two minutes. Eileen bogan, coalition for San Francisco neighborhoods here on my own behalf. Hearing supervisor mandelmans reappointment to abag, i would like to thank him for his willingness to serve and his opposition for sb 1487 on july 13. I would also like to thank the Planning Commission for its informational hearing at its june 27 meeting. Both supervisor mandelman and a member of the public read excerpts from the Planning Department staff report into the record at the abag meeting. The abag motion to support was subsequently defeated. The following are excerpts from the staff report on sb 330, and i quote. It would bar approval of any Housing Project that involves the demolition of certain affordable units or units where the ellis act eviction have previously been heard. The bill for further requires that any units that are provided must be counted towards the projects local inclusionary housing requirement. This would potentially reduce the number of new belowmarketrate units in such projects. The bills prohibition of new Design Standards after july 1, 2018 that do not meet the definition of objective standards proposes a significant reduction to the citys Design Review process over the next five years. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you. Next speaker. I demonstrated well over several times before this pardon boapart Board Committee and to the offices of mr. Mandelman himself, and i pointed out very respectfully that apartment complex is being built across the bay, 144 units for 56 million is the best deal yet. Ive demonstrated what the 1 billion thats being handed down thats supposed to be targeted for the Homeless People that you could build nine of these complexes that have 144 units in each complex. Ive demonstrated where theres an 87apartment building complex that, too, is three stories. And by the same response, if you put both these buildings side by side, you will take chunks out of the homeless population. Each and every one of your districts, youve got 11 of them. Instead of building these navigation centers, you build these two complexes. If you are my demonstration already up and running and in effect, youd have about 1,000 surplus apartments to be occupied by homeless and no Homeless People out in the streets. Furthermore, i object to nonprofit, understand me, developers not being respected. I object to gavin newsom going across the bay with 100 Affordable Housing developer and showed how 80 million was used to built an 87unit housing complex, and he responded by commenting if they dont meet all their requirements, hes going to fine them. I object. You need to fine him. Supervisor walton thank you, mr. Wright. Can i get a motion to affirecod to the full board as a Committee Report . Clerk that item will be recommended as a Committee Report. Clerk mr. Clerk, please read item five. Clerk yes. [agenda item read]. Supervisor walton with that said, were looking at seat 8. And is winnie chen here . Miss chen, you want to come up and tell us a little bit about yourself . My name is winnie chen . Im an incumbent from seat eight seeking to be reappointed . Part of it is as you know in your positions is after youve been there a year when you hit your stride. And i feel by continuing my work for the next twoers i cant, i can continue to benefit two years, i can continue to benefit the community . I have to say, mr. Walton, i am a big fan of yours from the school board where you may have seen my participation in going to the school board and speaking on behalf of the c. A. C. And also which im a member of. Im specifically more involved or have knowledge of children who have are in special education as well as lowincome families and parents who access many of the services we have in San Francisco. Supervisor walton thank you so much miss chen. Supervisor mar, do you have any questions . Okay. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you. Next, i invite julie robertsphung. Hi. My name is julie robertsphung, and i qualify for all three seats. I have a rising third grader, a daughter whos in an after School Program and also 20 Years Experience working as a Community Organizer with families on Racial Justice organizer, most recently for the San Francisco Families Union and an organizer for the close the gap organization. Weve worked for sfusd and for communitybased beacon programs . Most recently, theyve led advocacy with our indigenous, and parent of color group and i think theyd be a great asset to the committee. In terms of my priorities, im looking to align the interests in the city. Im especially creating opportunities by closing Juvenile Hall and hopefully closing at 50 bryant. I need to make sure were aligning our services making it easy fore families to access and strengthening the communities of frontline c. B. O. S that and Community Families that we want to serve. We know that families at the intersection of identities have you know, have the lowest level of opportunity for us in the city. I think dcyf has some opportunities to change that. The next area of priority i want to bring a Racial Equity and Systems Approach to this work. So i think both in my personal and professional experience, you know, as a member of the Western Addition community and a member of the Public School in the tenderloin, ive seen the families that are least well served by our system tell us best how our systems broken . And by listening to the block youth we can best create a system thats going to support our youth of color and then expand it out to support the most number of families in the city and thats how were actually going to improve, you know, meet the needs of the most people in our city. Ive provided you a letter from a dozen people that ive provided support. I believe you have that in your packet. I just want to end by thanking dori in help us build a Strong Committee of candidates, and the rules committee for supporting us. Youve got strong candidates, and i look forward to your support. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you. Any comments, supervisor mar . Thank you. With that said, wed like to call up yamini butmegar. Good morning. Greetings, supervisor walton and supervisor mar . Thank you for the opportunity to stand here today and speak to you about my application to serve on the children, youth and Families Oversight Committee . I became interested in serving on this committee for a few reasons . One, im raising my two children here in San Francisco. I have an 8yearold who is heading off to third grade in a couple of weeks and a 4yearold who is heading off to his second and last year in preschool. We rely heavily on the subsidiz subsidized and funds programs to benefit our children. I was brought here to San Francisco as a youth by my family who emigrated here, and ive pretty much lived in the southeast districts of San Francisco, district 10 and 11. I also want to say that as i look back, my transition as an immigrant youth would have been difficult and much more difficult in many, many ways if it had not been for the teachers and Community Organizers who stepped up for young people like me . And the same people went ahead and changed policy in this city and centered young people of color. Third, in my professional life ive worked with and on behalf of young people in many capacities, in organizing for ethnic studies in our schools and more. I understand both personally and professionally the importance of the work of the department of children, youth and families and the staff at dcyf, and it would be an honor to serve on the committee. Thank you. Supervisor walton thank you. Any questions, supervisor mar . Seeing none, we will now entertain Public Comment for this item. Ive got a tenandency for speaking up for the most vulnerable. Current events has demonstrated what juul cigarettes have caused six adolescents to be hospitalized in the city of milwaukee. The doctors gave a press conference explaining specifically how the devices are smart to look like a hightech device has caused numerous lung infections and blood vessels to collapse along with other documentations and hearings that we have against juul. I find that the city and county of San Francisco will ban their devices but yet you rent them an apartment complex which is the headquarters of the corporation who youre protesting. Its a conflict of interest. Theres no way that a corporation that is causing death and causing cancer and causing lung disease in adole scents and kids is getting rent at a bargained price while the rent for everybody else is sky rocketing. Juul, i researched them, they dont have a license to sell their product. Youre involved in a corrupt and organized enterprise because youre selling a narcotic. Nicotine is a narcotic. You dont have a license, so youre running a corrupt and organized enterprise, and youre depriving the most Vulnerable People of their protection and equal access under the law. If you dont have a license to sell the product, you should not be permitted. Im surprised the District Attorney hasnt filed a complaint against them. Its just another example of the incompetence in the city and county of god damn San Francisco. Ive demonstrated several times where you have discrimination against blacks and youve done nothing about it. A black woman came in here and said when she worked for the District Attorneys office, and shes called a black skinned
