Okay. With that, that concludes the special commendations for today. Madam clerk, lists go to roll call for introductions. Clerk mr. President , we will rerefer supervisor peskin and begin with supervisor ronan subpoena. Thank you. Today, colleagues, supervisor haney and i with others are introducing a resolution urging the department of Public Health to rescind their august 19 letter, notifying severely mentally ill residents at the adult residential facility that they must relocate in 60 days. Last night we heard directly from the staff of the adult residential facility family members and residents that people at the facility are filled with extreme anxiety due to the displacement and that it is having a direct impact on their health. There is also concern that many severely ill and vulnerable residents will end up back on the streets once they are displaced from the facility. The resolution also states that the department of Public Health and the department of Human Resources should meet and confer with all unions connected with the connected communities and that the facility is not relocated and the facility remains open. While we introduced an ordinance last week that these stay open, despite d. P. H. S disrupt announcement to remove 41 of the 51 longterm beds, it will take over a month to move that ordinance through the legislative deadline for residents to access this facility. This measure is a stopgap measure to make sure that residents are not displaced from their homes on october 19 when the time limit is up. As i stated before, these longterm beds are what we need most in San Francisco right now. There are people being held in jail and locked hospital wards because of the lack of availability of these longterm beds. We in the city must retain and expand what we have. I want to thank you for partnering with me and thank you to all of my colleagues who have cosponsored so far. I want to give you a special thank you to the psychiatric workers, the social workers, s. C. I. U. And local 21 representatives who worked with us on this legislation. The rest i submit although, i would like to comment after supervisor walton does comment. Thank you, supervisor ronan. Thank you so much, madam clerk. I just have a few items this afternoon. The first one introduced in a resolution along with supervisors ronan, brown, stephanie, mar, fewer, to chemical condemn a rule change that would create Food Insecurity for millions of people. The proposed rule change by the usda is undoubtedly a move in the wrong direction. In a move of selfsufficiency, they are jeopardizing the nutrition of more than 3 Million People who are already food insecure. We must be clear that food secure is a human right. There is a choice of doing what we can to access the most basic needs like food and water and letting them figure it out for themselves. There is a huge value in selfsufficiency, but the price for not getting there for whatever reason should not be hunger. Data from the usda shows that fraud and snap amounts are less than 1 of its cases. Which means that 99 of snap is meeting real needs of people. Food security as a human right means we need to make sure our families are fed. According to the task force in 2018, 226,520 people in San Francisco are residents with an income below 200 of the Poverty Level and are in risk of foot insecurity. We should be sparing no expense and make sure our community is fed, especially given the material wealth we see all around us in this city. I also, along with supervisor haney, am requesting a hearing on an update of the department of accountability operations and the San FranciscoPolice Departments, implementation of the department of justice recommendations. We want to hear how Many Department of justice recommendati recommendations have been addressed by the d. P. A. Im interested in how its investigations are being conducted and addressed. Also calling this hearing along with supervisor haney in hopes of getting updates to ensure that we are moving towards a more transparent and accountable process. I will be asking for the department of Police Accountability to provide the number of cases referred, investigated, and the findings. Im also asking that we be provided with an update as to how all the departments are complying with sb1421. How does the department increase transparency. I also want to know what the San FranciscoPolice Department has done to address the department of justice recommendations and the continued plans and strategies. Next we also as you remember, the board of supervisors, we passed a legislation on june 18, 2019, directing the closure of Juvenile Hall by december 2021. Since the passing of this ordinance, j. P. D. Has been hard at work trying to undermine the work of the juvenile experts all across the this city, state, and country, who have been calling for alternatives that provide real opportunities for youth to be successful after incarceration, versus continuing to feed the county jail and prison pipeline. We have all been eager to get to work and provide the best services for our youth. Unfortunately, the juvenile Probation Department and its leadership has decided to create programs that are arbitrary to the Budget Approved by this body in june of 2019. Trying to utilize resources in a manner unintended by this body upon approval. Therefore, im making a request, along with supervisors, to prepare an appropriation ordinance, replacing the nonmandatory budget for the juvenile department for fiscal year 201920 on the board of supervisors reserve. La last, im also requesting that the City Attorney prepare an ordinance prohibiting the juvenile Probation Department from using Juvenile Hall to be used to provide any type of programming that incarcerates youth postadjudication. This ordinance will request that any programming that involves the incarceration of youth postadjudication not be housed in the 375 woodside facility. It is not a good use of city resources to create a program that is destined to be closed under our current y. G. C. Ordinance. We have other areas that continue to remain vacant and can be worked to implement such a program that will provide alternatives and opportunities for young folks to be successful. And weve had over a year for that to happen. The rest i submit. Supervisor, walton, please add me as a cosponsor for the first one regarding the food and drug administration. Supervisor ronen. Thank you. I wanted to thank supervisor walton for continuing to be a leader on this. I have to say i was shocked when i read the paper this morning. After the 101 vote at this body, after the struggle at the Budget Committee around j. P. D. s budget. After the task force that is currently ongoing and the one that were about to set up to accomplish the goal of shutting down or the mandate of shutting down Juvenile Hall by december 2021, that director, chief nanz would consider suggesting that they send more youth to this facility. Ive been to log cabin ranch. For whatever its facilities were, a Job Training Program out of town, out in nature, where theres no bars, theres no concrete cells, no shackling of kids, that made a lot of sense. Moving those kids postadjudication into a maximum security jail once again makes no sense whatsoever. During the budget process, chief nanz came up here and was asking for several new positions. When we went and had our back and forth about the fact that despite the declining population at Juvenile Hall and the closure of log cabin ranch, despite the fact that theyve had more employees staffing an empty facility for years on end, how could they possibly be asking for new positions. He tried to make the claim that they didnt have enough staff. So how hes going to, without any budget implementation, now add an entire new program to Juvenile Hall makes no sense. He should at least be consistent in his outrageous claims. Hes not even doing that. So i believe that i believe for a long time now, and i said this during the budget process, that weve been falling asleep at the job when it comes to j. P. D. s budget. That theyve been over budget for quite some time, despite the decline in juvenile crime which is great news that we should be celebrating. Now is the time to put that under a microscope. Thanks, supervisor walton, for introducing his items. Today im going to be introducing legislation to extend the Advisory Committee so it doesnt sunset. Its only september and 22 people have lost their lives in San Francisco due to traffic violence. Annually there are more than 500 severe injuries. These injuries are preventable and not only must this board, sfmta, and the city be aggressive. We must grow our advocacy and Resident Engagement for vision zero. Psac is the only city body specifically focused on pedestrians. Given that pedestrians are often most often being killed and severely injured, it is important that our residents have an opportunity to serve and make recommendations to policymaking bodies. Psac was created in 2001 more than a decade before San Francisco adopted vision zero policy. We now have a City DepartmentVision Zero Task force and a communitybased coalition. But when a 12yearold was hit four days ago, now is not the time to get rid of a communitydriven body dedicated to making recommendations on improving pedestrian safety. There was a time when psac struggled to make quorum, but with new members, attendance has risen and been consistent. City staff must also absolutely and appropriately support this body in being successful. In addition to the support of staff, in order to strengthen the work of psac, this legislation requires that within six months psac will submit to the board recommendations on possible changes to the structure or duties to strengthen their efforts. We must be supporting of this vision and i look forward to collaborating with them in creating stronger policies that will get us to zero. Thank you, supervisor haney, for cosponsoring. I know your district has been dramatically impacted and you and your staff has been prioritizing this work. Id also like to thank supervisor mar and ronen and walton for cosponsoring. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor brown. Supervisor fewer. Thank you, madam clerk. Today i introduce two resolutions. One is in support of public banking. I am thrilled that 857 has passed both houses of the California State Legislature and the bill now sits on the governors desk awaiting his signature. This bill will provide a green light and pathway for municipal public banks through a Pilot Program that will allow up to ten public banks in the state. I want San Francisco to be first in line with an application to the state for a public banking charter to provide an alternative to large commercial banks that dont serve our interest and reinvest our public dollars for the public goods. Thank you for your votes, but this resolution is specifically urging the governor to sign the bill into law. I want to thank my cosponsors. Colleagues, i hope that all of you will support this resolution. The second resolution pertains to the 2020 census, and the decision of the u. S. Census bureau to eliminate nonenglish paper questionnaires for a Language Group of 100,000 or more. This will have a huge and negative impact on San Francisco and on california more broadly, as it specifically impacts many Foreign Language speakers in San Francisco. 44 of our residents speak a language other than english and 26 speak an asian language at home. In 2010, the u. S. Census bureau did implement paper questionnaires for these languages. So this decision reverses a prior practice. This decision will likely result in an undercount of limited english position and then a loss of congressional representation, billions in federal funding and access to Civil Services and rights protection. I want to thank my cosponsors. I hope the rest of you will stand with me in support of this resolution in ensuring comprehensive Language Access in the 2020 census. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor supervisor haney. Thank you, madam clerk. Just a little bit on the resolution, urging the department of Public Health to rescind their august 19, 2019, letter notifying severely mentally ill adult residential facility residents to relocate. As supervisor ronen said, we had the opportunity to meet with a number of the workers from that facility who really more than anything were felt incredibly let down that they were not consult or listened to. There are collective bargaining processes in place, where they should have been not just notified but a part of this position. There are attempts to communicate with d. P. H. Have been repeatedly ignored. Theyre asking our support to, at the very least, rescind this 60day letter which can have the impact not just on the workers but, more importantly, on the residents of that facility who and the need for this facility to stay open. But they want us to call on d. P. H. To keep to rescind this notice and to meet with the workers so they can be a part of the solution. D. P. H. Has over a month to make this right and they failed to act and they have not responded to the requests. And by the residents their families and the worker. The resolution is urging d. P. H. To rescind this notice to relocate, and is urging them to meet with all the relevant stakeholders so we can make sure these residents dont end up back on the streets. This is especially urgent because there is legislation that has been introduced. We have a hearing on that which will be on october 17. The 60th day to relocate would be october 19. We need to move quickly on this and support the needs of the residents, the workers, and of this critical facility. I also wanted to comment on supervisor walton and i are calling for a hearing on the department of Police Accountability and also an update on the department of justice recommendations for reform at sfpd. As you all recall in 2016, this was a report that had 272 recommendations and 94 findings about how we can improve here with the San FranciscoPolice Department. Theres since been a change with the California Department of justice taking on that responsibility. I think its beyond time for us to have a full update on the progress towards those recommendations and those findings. Whether we have seen progress, where we may continue to be out of compliance, its critical that for us as the legislative body that we take a more active role in ensuring our progress on these recommendations. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor. Supervisor mandelman. Supervisor mar . Supervisor peskin. Thank you, madam clerk. I wanted to announce today that today im going to introduce legislation to create an amortization process for the implementation of our 2017 update to the Hotel Conversion ordinance, which would allow s. R. O. Business owners some time to phase in these 21st century reforms. What that ultimately ends up looking like will depend on a Robust Community engagement. To that end i will also call for a hearing at the Land Use Committee to receive feedback from all stakeholders from s. R. O. Operators and tenants, as well as housing advocates and the Mayors Office of housing and our department of building inspection as to this proposal. Finally, i just want to add my name as a cosponsor to the mayors amendment to ensure that Housing Authority employees are extended the same benefits under the charter as are other employees and the rest i will submit. Clerk mr. President , seeing no names on the roster, that concludes the introduction of new business. Thank you, madam clerk. Lets go to Public Comment at this point. Clerk its time for Public Comment. At this time you can address your remarks to the entire board of supervisors. I will redirect you if you are addressing a member directly or if youre speaking outside of the microphone. Timer is set for two minutes. Speakers using interpretation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time to speak. Please address the board on subject matters under the jurisdiction of the board. To also include items 21 through 24, the items that did not go to committee. As you already know items that were previously heard in committee subject to Public Comment will not be heard again today. If you would like to display a document on the overhead projector, let us know. Just before we get started. For the audience, i notice that several people have submitted cards to make Public Comments. Just go ahead and line up. Go ahead. God says use sound speech that cannot be condemned. I have to condemn myself for saying a certain supervisor should shut her big, fat mouth. I hope you can forgive me. God has already forgiven me. If its not treason, its
