[roll call] clerk mr. President , you have a quorum. President yee thank you. Ladies and gentlemen so im going to have a rough time today speaking, but ill get there. Ladies and gentlemen, will you please join me in the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] president yee okay. On behalf of the board, i would like to acknowledge the staff of sfgtv, michael and malina who make each of the presentations available online. Madam clerk, do you have any communications . Clerk i have none, mr. President. President yee okay. Lets go to this months city departments highlights. As a reminder, this new segment is an opportunity for the board and the members of the public to see an inside peek of littleknown work our departments are doing, and this should be a good one this week, and today, we have a short clip produced by our Emmy Award Winning team at sfgov tv, the efforts that our staff did to help in the wildfires. Last week, we celebrated the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta quake. We are grateful to all our First Responders who serve to protect our residents, but we are also thankful to the Coordination Services to support every day residents who volunteer to save lives. Today, we have director Mary Ellen Carroll here to setup the clip, and director carroll is on the floor you have the floor, and after the clip, i will test all my colleagues on what was in the clip. Go ahead. Good afternoon, president yee, supervisors. Thank you so much for having me here. Im very proud to represent the department of Emergency Management. As you all know, the department of Emergency Management manages every day and not every day emergencies. Were going to hear about Emergency Services division, but i would be remiss not to remind everyone that d. E. M. Houses all of the 911 center. We manage all of the 911 calls in the city. That comes out to 1. 3 million calls a year, 3500 calls a day. Of those, 85 are law enforcement, 10 of medical, and five are fire. The department of manage services responds and guides the recovery from earthquakes, Severe Weather events, and any humancaused emergencies that may happen. As the supervisor noted, we did remember the 30th anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake last week. We did this by hosting fairs at the krisk center, we held a shake out drill at rosa parks Elementary School, and we tested the Emergency Alert test. We work all yearround to prepare our cities and our residents for emergencies. One of the way that we respond but also prepare ourselves is by providing mutual aid to our neighbors both close by and throughout the United States. The film youre about to see shows the nonfire Service Mutual Aid response to the camp fire last year through the states Emergency Management mutual aid system. We sent staff to support the town of paradise and the county of butte. We know that in any major emergency, this will happen and could happen to us. In the case of the camp fair, we provided response to the town of paradise and city staff, and we are happy to help them while they got their lives together, and we could help the city continue to recover, so well jump right to the clip. President yee okay. [video] San Francisco was part we were one of the first teams that showed up here through the state mutual aid system request, and we were able to come and help the town of paradise setup their Emergency Operations center. We provided help in the area of logistics, planning, operations, public information, and animal care and control. All of these areas are ones that are really very much needed in the beginning of the response and continue to be. The entire town of paradise was affected by this tragedy, and many of the employees for the town had lost everything. They were still coming to work, but for us to be able to come and help them setup the structure that they would need for response was i think a Critical Response that was very helpful to the town. Everyone who comes to these deployments is there to support one another, whether theyre the people from the local jurisdiction or people coming from different areas, different parts of the state, whatever that may be. And i think being prepared, understanding what it is youre going to be asked to do, and being flexible, understanding you may be asked to do something different, and that mindset will really help you. Along the way, i think being prepared, bringing equipment that you need, selfsustaining so that youre not depending on the area that youre deploying to to support you. That will help you in the long run. What we do is provide resources for the field that may be lacking equipment. For example, weve been looking for backhoes and chain saws. Weve been concentrating on getting together contracts for arborists and tree removal services. Were making sure we create a good paper trail for the county so the area can get as much reimbursement from the federal government as possible. We provide humanitarian assistance to our neighbors and other jurisdictions within the state. We learn so much as a city but also individually. Im really pleased that we were able to send employees from the department of Emergency Management, the General Services agency, animal care and control, the Public Utilities commission, and of course, our firefighters, who have been here from the start. Theres few disasters that my jurisdiction can really handle on their own, and certainly nothing like this scope of what were seeing here, so i cant receipt enough how important it is for us to stress enough how important it is for us to be prepared to deploy throughout the state when needed. To the community thats been affected here, paradise, the entire county of butte, you should just know the city of San Francisco is with you and will do whatever we can to support and as i saw today, the state, feds, fema, everybody was here. This is a beautiful place, even surrounded by ashes, and we have such a sense of how strong this community is, and just know that were with you. President yee okay. So thank you. I hope that gave you a sense. I i think its important to note that its a red flag day today. It is a very hot. Were looking at more potential power shutoffs, and while theres a lot of work to be done around how these shutoffs are happening and who they affect, its important to remember that what were trying to avoid is this. And the department of Emergency Management has been working very closely with our city and our regional partners to really quantify the effects of the shutoff, and we look forward to sharing that information with you sometime in the future. President yee thank you. Thank you. President yee thank you, director carroll, to you and your entire team. And hopefully, San Francisco will never need mutual aid from the other counties. And im sure glad that were available to our neighbors, and hopefully again, we wont need your services to our our neighboring counties this year. Thank you very much. Okay. Lets move on.

President yee madam clerk, can you take the first person in roll call, or is it Committee Report . Clerk Committee Report, item 22. President yee 22, yes. Clerk item 22 was considered by the rules committee at a regular meeting on october 21, 2019. To allow tenants who have received a pass through of general obligation payment costs from their landlords to receive relief from continual hardship, to extend the time for a pass through, and to allow tenants more time to pay the pass through. President yee supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin thank you, chair yee. As we all know, at virtually every election, there is some sort of general Obligation Bond on the ballot, and i think weve all sponsored or cosponsored many of them. A long ways back, in 2002, thenboard president tom ammiano, together with the sponsorship of sophie maxwell, offered legislation that general Obligation Bonds would be split 5050 between tenants and landlords. And it was effort, really, to reduce opposition by either party if there was if there was the ability to pass through 100 to tenants or 100 to property owners. And it proved pretty good. Weve had a pretty good record of passing bonds. And some years after that, we actually came up with another promise, and that was that we would retire as much debt as we issued, so our marginal property tax rate would stay the same, and that, too, helped build support for the passage of much needed general Obligation Bonds for a host of things, from Public Safety to parks, you name it. And over the years, the controller has indeed just done that, and weve continued to maintain excellent Credit Ratings and not raise our property tax rates. Now of course our property tax rates have gone up because this does not apply to the San Francisco unified school district, the Community College district, the b. A. R. T. District, so when they put general bonds on the ballot, those two increase property taxes for san franciscans. And when that is added on top of annual rent increases allowed under the law and on top of other passthroughs, including utility and Capital Improvement pass throughs, weve seen rent controlled tenants in particular suffer unmanageable and onerous spikes in their rent and that has been the subject of a number of hearings. And we all saw the case in my district at 20 san antonio where a couple an elderly couple on fixed income had their rent go up 20 in the course of a year. And of course last year, supervisor fewer and i authored significant reforms to operating and maintenance pass throughs, eliminating permanent rent increases as a result of property tax and debt service pass throughs. And there was some, i think, good news that we all heard about on that front yesterday from veritas. But tenants have continued to stress the undue burden of debts on pass throughs. Last year, the citypassed the seawall bond, and since then we have been meeting with stakeholders to ensure that our bonds and future bonds will not be opposed by the tenants community. I do think theres a fair argument to be made that both tenants and landlorded benefit from Capital Infrastructure improvements that general Obligation Bonds fund, and we all have an obligation to support these citywide b benefits. That being said, there are folks living on limited incomes that should have the opportunity to petition for waivers. This would allow legislation for tenants who have received a pass through of a general Obligation Bond repayment cost from their landlord to petition the board for just such a hardship waiver. In addition, it seeks to address the issue of banking pass throughs by creating a new use it or lose it klaus for owners who assume control of a property. Finally, it extends the time period for tenants to pay. I want to thank the San Francisco tenants union, housing rights committee, the asian law caucus, rent board members, and the San Francisco Apartment Association as well as the Affordable Housing alliance, the educators of San Francisco for providing feedback and i hope thattiis w meet all of your support. President yee supervisor fewer . Supervisor fewer thank you, president yee. Id just like to be listed as a cosponsor, please. President yee okay. Supervisor peskin and id also like to thank sonny angulo for spear heading this process. President yee okay. Madam clerk, lets go to our 2 30 presentations. Okay. Madam clerk, we have six. So in the past ive reminded that you have five minutes total. That includes whatever you say and what your honorees would like to say. Im going to try to keep you do it because we have so many. So first up, supervisor stefani . Supervisor stefani thank you, president yee. Id like to call tony up. Is he here . Great did my time start . [applause] president yee it started. Supervisor stefani yea, tony. President yee it starts four minutes ago. Supervisor stefani thank you. Colleagues, i cannot let italianamerican heritage month go by without recognizing an incredible member of San Franciscos italian community, tony. He is an example of the incredible talent cultivated in the bay area. He grew up on a family farm in fremont, where his mother cooks with fresh fruits and vegetables in the valley. He now owns 28 restaurants here in San Francisco. He is the first and only triple crown winner for baking at the interNational Pizzaic baking championships in italy, and he was the 2017 champion at the world pizza championships. Tony has been inducted into the guinness book of World Records four times. In 2016, he became the First American to win first place in the pizza impala division at the pizza championship, in italy. Tony is an official ambassador of pizza by the city of naples, a title given to only two other people in the entire world. He is the first Master Instructor in the United States and is a proprietor of the International School of pizza. In 2009, tony fulfilled his lifelong dream by opening tonys pizza napolitana in north beach where he uses the same woodburning oven he used to win the pizza championship in naples. He raised over 43,000 for the george mark childrens house, family house San Francisco, and the San Francisco marin food bank. Tony has long supported local Italian American clubs dedicated to the physical and moral wellbeing to their members. October also happens to be National Pizza month, and i cant think of a more appropriate person to honor on both occasions than tony. So thank you, tony for ensuring that our neighborhoods are thriving for our visitors and locals, and for all that you do to help San Francisco. Thank you. That means a lot especially coming from you and all the supervisors here. My grandfather came over, from luca, italy. Came in through new york, found fremont, loved the land, were farmers. We spread out through the bay area, so this today is not only for them, my family, but its an honor for italians to celebrate the month of october. Most of you were on a float dragged through north beach. Its such a great neighborhood and lately, its been a little sad with certain things that are going on, but this is a big uplift, and were really happy to celebrate this in the italian community. Thank you very much. Its an honor. Supervisor peskin thank you. And tony [applause] supervisor peskin and tony is single handedly combatting the storefront vacancies by acquiring more and more property. So if you dont go to tonys, you can go to capos and and we love our north beach. Supervisor peskin thank you, tony. [applause] president yee okay. Thank you. Next, i would like to invite supervisor fewer to share her commendation. Supervisor fewer thank you, president lee. I would like to invite zoe polk to the podium, please. [applause] supervisor fewer colleagues, i am honored to recognize a fierce leader who has been a champion for social justice and Racial Equity throughout her career. For the past eight years, she served as the policy advisor at the San Francisco civil rights commission. In that capacity, she has worked with c. B. O. S, foundations, and other nonprofit entities to ensure the policies and programs serve communities of color including incarcerated and formerly incarcerated persons, and transgender women. Most recently in 2019, she helped launch sharp, the citys first Sexual Harassment and racial prevention office. She recently served as the chairman f chairman. She oversaw the organizations 80 Member Leadership Team and worked with national parks, foundations and corporate entities to invest in blacken gaugement in the outdoors. As the human rights commissions, shes oversaw the organizations law clinic. Before then, she focused on federal civil rights litigation in the areas of police misconduct, school expulsion, and native American Tribal disenrollment. Beginning in january 2020, she will embark a new chapter and serve as executive director of the east Bay Community law center, the largest direct Services Organization at u. C. Berkeley law school. She will lead a team of 80plus Staff Members and oversee legal and policy advocacy in the areas of housing, immigration, employment rights, criminal justice, and education. In fact my daughter worked there when she was a student at berkeley law, and i am pleased to see the zoe be the leader there with this important and good work that they do. I want to recognize how instrumental zoe was in our Racial Equity material passed at the end of july. Zoe, i so appreciate you, your service to San Francisco, and your commitment to making the city better and more just. You will be missed here, but i wish you the best of luck at the east by Community Law center. I would like to present you with this very small gift that was given to me. This is the pin that the mayor used to sign the office of Racial Equity into law, and i would very much like you to have it as a reminder of the great gifts you have given to the people of San Francisco. [applause] president yee before you speak, supervisor brown . Supervisor brown zoe, i cant believe you left us. Thats my first thought. We really could not have gotten this office of Racial Equity through. Supervisor fewer and i really relied on you to make sure we got it right because legislation a lot of times, especially when youre creating new offices, you never know what youre going to get it right. But when someone like you actually shepherded it through and was working with our staff, i knew this was the best we were going to have and its because of you. So i just want to thank you for everything youve done, and i know youve done amazing work with the native american community, too. They speak very highly of you. So to have someone like you to really push through these limits and walls for the city that others have setup and say we have to do things different in looking at a civil rights view when were looking at communities and especially communities that have been pushed out, run over, and squashed in this city, i just want to say thank you from district five and everywhere else. I just cant say how much i appreciate you, and im really excited to find out what youre going to do next. Thank you. President yee supervisor ronen . Supervisor ronen yes. When i first heard that youre leaving, i was so upset, and then, when i found out where you were going, im an alumni of u. C. C. B. C. To know its going to be under your leadership just give me so much calm and excitement. Theyre so lucky to have you. I tell will be very sad youre not here with us, but that organization is one of the best that exists, and knowing it it will be now under your capable leadership is really exciting, so congratulations. President yee okay. Zoe, your turn. Im so deeply honored by your words from you, supervisor fewer. I cannot say enough about how challenging yet rewarding and truly foundational doing antiracism work in the San Francisco has been for me that ive been doing for the past eight years. Although i am moving to direct the east Bay Community law center, i am still a resident of San Francisco district eight, and raising two black sons here. So i am looking to the office to support the office of Racial Equity that was passed by this board and push meaningful triu triumphs to make sure that this is a place where my family can continue to live, so thank you very much. Appreciate it. [applause] president yee okay. Supervisor haney, please share your commendation. Supervisor haney thank you, president yee. Today, im very excited to honor mr. Patrick singer, a leader in our community who has dedicated over a decade of work to one of our citys most uniquely San Francisco events, the folsom street fair. The first took place at the hiv epidemic, a time that the city was forceablely closing bath houses, and the Real Estate Industry first set its sights on west soma as a gold mine ripe for redevelopment. The first folsom street fair was a bold and unabashed demonstration of the important of lgbtq and leather communities. Its since grown to become californias third larger single day spectator event and the Worlds Largest leather and bdsm event and showcase with over 250,000 people in attendance each year. The fair is also located at the heart of the newly established lgbtq and leather district. Patrick has played an active role at folsom street events since 2007, when he served as the development and projects manager for the organization and helped build and refine the fairs brand and broaden its reach to the media. During his ten years with follow tom street events, he also served as Administrative Coordinator and replaced the long time executive director. Hes been a fierce advocate whose talent and leadership helped make the fair what it is today, a safe and celebratory area for people from all over the globe. He is well deserving of our thanks and full recognition. I want to say i got to know patrick very early on during my time as supervisor, and during my eight months i think he was on me in some way about something that needed to be done, some department that we had to address something with, and your vision and your leadership, and your compassion, and i was very proud to see you in the fair, and in your element, leading all of your staff and volunteers. But even beyond that, how passionate you are for this community and making sure they have a safe space, a place to connect and see each other and love each other, its a beautiful thing to see you, what youve been able to accomplish. You leave the fair i think in a great place, and you have my continued commitment to support it, and thank you so much for your leadership over the past ten years. Im sure youre going to continue to do many great things for our community, and we just want to recognize you and say thank you. Thank you. President yee okay. Patrick . [applause] so i just want to thank the board of supervisors for be bestowing this on me. You know, honor is a good word to describe the time that i spent at folsom street events. It was always so much more than just a job or even a career path to me. It was part of something that was a part of me and part of something bigger. It was a part of the city and a part of the amazing community. So i want to thank all those that came out to support me today. You all mean a great deal to me and i could not have done this without you. Supervisor haney, i want to thank you for putting up with me because i know i can be difficult. Supervisor mandelman, thank you so much. Your office was a great help. I also want to single out tom temprano from your office, and honey mahogany. I could not have done it without your office and their help, and im incredibly honored. [applause] president yee okay. Thank you. Supervisor supervisor mandelman, please share your remarks. Supervisor mandelman thank you, president yee. Dr. Ghandi, pop up. While theyre coming up, ill tell you about dr. Ghandi, a complete badass, the cochair of aids 2020, which is the largest medical conference in the world i think coming next year in oakland and San Francisco. And this is along with dr. Ghandi, the amazing staff at ward 86 working on pop ups. Today, were recognizing the pop up program. And it stands positive Health Onsite program for unstable populations. Its a new program at San Franciscos General Hospital at word 86 ward 86. In 1986, in the height of the aids epidemic, ward 86, which quickly became known locally and globally as the San Francisco model of care. I have been consistently impressed by the work of this incredible team, led by dr. Ghandi. For People Living with hiv, stability is possible when you achieve whats called viral suppression or reducing the virus in ones blood to an undetechable level. Only 33 of homeless and unstably housed san franciscans are virally suppressed. Dr. Ghandi and her colleagues saw the impact this disparity has had on their patients at ward 86 as homeless patients missed more primary care appointments, had three times more visits to the emergency room or urgent care, and were hospitalized more frequently than housed patients. Recognizing the need for low barrier, flexibility dropin based care to fight these disparities, they are open seven days a week to drive drop in based care including maintenance like s. T. I. Maintenance and screenings, food resources, assistance accessing social Services Like social security, and connection to housing resources. Theres no appointment required and pop up requires incentives to help patients return to the clinic and stay engaged in care. In its first six months, it saw 67 patients enrolled. These first pop up patients were 39 african american, 6 latino, 44 white. The success of pop up in reaching this population is essential to saving lives and will be critical in achieving our goals of the getting to see goals of getting to zero new infections. Hiv infections are on the rise among injection drug users, latin x, and homeless people. Ward 86 once stepped up to ensure that unhoused People Living with hiv can achieve the same health yous comes as those that are housed. Im deeply grateful to dr. Ghandi and her whole team for the work that they do every day to improve the health and wellbeing of their patients to achieve total care and get us to total zero. Dr. Ghandi, would you like to stay any words . I grew up in utah, and i moved to San Francisco as soon as i could because of the support of the city. Its been an incredible privilege to be the medical director of ward 86 with this much support of the supervisors. And the entire purpose of pop up, and i really want to thank the entire team is the entire impact to the pop up is that appointments dont matter when youre living in an encampment. Tuesday at 3 00 p. M. Is not an appointment time that can be understood. We people to be able to come in any time whenever they want, drop in, and have this incredibly supportive group of people form around them like a pop up restaurant and serve them. I think its going to work, its working already, and were really, really grateful to have your support. Its been a privilege to be a part of ucsf and a part of ucsf faculty. Thank you for supervisor ronen. I live in your district, and thank you, supervisor walton, and San Francisco general. Thank you so much. [applause] president yee okay. Were just going to move on. So supervisor ronen, youre up. Supervisor ronen thank you. Wait for the amazing ward 86 staff to leave. Thank you so much. If we could call up the leaders of the incredible united educators of San Francisco to the front. [applaus [applause] supervisor ronen today, i have the privilege and the pleasure to celebrate the united educators of San Francisco on their 100th an versely. We have here today, the current president , susan solmore, anabelle ibanez, dennis kelly, former political director, ken trey, and there are some other people that arent on my list, so i cant wait for susan to introduce them when she cams up. A century ago, several San Francisco educators recognized it would be necessary to form a union that would be part of the greater house of labor. By the end of the year, theyd established the San Francisco federation of teachers local 61, and grew to more than 100 members. In 1920, the superintendent at girls high where local 61 founders were based started to purge Union Members who are teachers. It got so bad that there are rumors antiunion spies at the school. [please stand by] they fall for measures to maintain schools before demanding that the next effort before educators. Today, born after the 1989 merger of the San Francisco federation of teachers in the San Francisco Classroom Teachers , it is a collective voice of more than 6,000 teachers, professionals, and professional educators of sfusd. The proud union combines Community Organizing to address the fundamental needs of our students, protect rights and protect educators. As a parent of a child in Elementary School who loves her school and her teachers, i thank you for fighting on behalf of all of your students and families.
