Cannabis oversight committee. Thank you, president yee. I create the the legislation of a Cannabis Oversight Committee to advise the board on regulations, growth of the industry and to help the board meet its goals of equity within the industry. I believe the creation of a public advisory body made up with these Key Stakeholders to oversee the office of cannabis and the implementation of laws governing commercial cannabis activities is the best way to provide transparency and accountability for this brand new growing industries. This Advisory Board will provide valuable in sight and recommendations to the board of supervisors as we implement the voter mandate the recreational cannabis. I want to thank all of the applicants who applied for their interest in serving on this committee as it is an allvolunteer committee. I was excited about how impressive the applicants were and i want to thank supervisors, ronen, walton for weighing the applications and prioritizing diversity and representation. I look forward to the final two seats being filled and ensuring we have a diverse representation of our community. Thank you, very much. Supervisor yee i want to make a comment on this. I am sure the applicants that are putting fourth today are qualified and i guess for me im a little days pointed with the make up of this committee that were putting fourth. One, i believe theres at least four of them that need waivers who live out of town. To me, this is a high number. Which was on the committee when we consider something living out of town providing a waiver, it was really the exception. Not the rule. I mean, it seems like were moving in the wrong direction. I know for the last few years, we keep on talking about making sure we have diversity and this gender diversity here, which is great. I like to see more ethnic diversity. Theres no a. P. I. On this committee. Theres noah american o no afrin this committee. We as a group, and im not blaming any individuals colleagues but certainly requests a group as a board of supervisors need to do better and moving people forward that can be actually considered making our city oversight committees and our commissions to be reflective of the city and be a little more diverse. I have nothing against the individuals here but i am just disappointed theres not a more diverse group. Can we take this same house same call . Roll call, please. [roll call] there are eight ayes and one no with president yee. Supervisor yee the motion is passed with a 81 vote. Call the next item. Clerk a motion to appoint joan miller for an indefinite term and linda asato, suzanne giraudo and lynn mertz terms ending april 29th, 2023 to the children and Families First commission. Supervisor yee madam clerk, call the roll. [roll call] clerk there are nine ayes. Supervisor yee without objection, this motion is approved unanimously. Madam clerk, lets go to item 29. Clerk item 29 was considered by the rules committee at a regular meeting on monday, october 7th, 2019 and was forwarded as a committee report. Item 29 is an ordinance to amend the administrative code to clarify that tim not inconvictions are intended to cover work that would make the unit hazardous, unhealthy or inhabit able and ind intended to last for the minimum amount of time required to complete the work to modify the standards of the rent board must consider when reviewing a request to authorization a temporary eviction for Capital Improvements to last more than three months, to establish procedures for the landlord to inform the displaced tenant of the tenants rights to reok fie the unit upon completion o compe work and to reoccupy the unit may create a rebuttal presumption that the tenancy has been terminated by the landlord rather than by the tenant. Thank you, president yee. I think this is Perfect Timing so far as we are a few minutes away from honoring two stalwart tenants advocates who have had a phenomenal impact on the lives of those in San Francisco. I want to thank the chair of the rules committee and the member of the rules committee for forwarded this legislation which seeks to clarify compliance with our lie laws that allow tenantso return to their rent controlled unit after Capital Improvement projects. In an effort to stop or otherwise thwart what advocates have begun referring to as renovictions. It does four things to curb this practice at front end. It clarifies existing law that temporary capital inconvictions are covering work that the unit isnt hazardous, unhealthy or uninhabitable and that landlords cant displace their tenants for longer than the minimum time required to do the work. Second, it would specify cry syria when authorization these visions in cases where they last more than 90 days with the impact of the displaced tenant in mind to be weighed against the necessity of the construction work. Third, it would require landlords to provide tenants with a disclosure concerning the ten apartments rightenants rin the work is complete when they issue the eviction notice. And fourth and finally, where the landlord did not timely allow the tenant to reoccupy the unit and the tenant didnt return the legislation would create a rebut the able prenuppion the land lard may not charge more than what the prior tenant would have paid had they remained in the unit. This limited form of vacancy control is in deed allowed understate law. I want to thank the Housing Rights Committee, the San Francisco tenants union, the aish law caucus, senior disability action and members of the antidisplacement coalition who have helped provide input on this legislation and would like to thank any chiefofstaff, sunny angulu i commend this legislation to you and hope we have a unanimous vote. Supervisor yee ok. So, where are we. Colleagues, can we take this same house same call. Without objection, this ordinance is passed on First Reading unanimously. [applause] i want to remind the audience we dont allow audibles. Just do that and we know that you love it. If you dont love it just go like that. Perfect. 2 30.
