Petition this government or speak to the press or anybody else freely without any reservation or encumbrance . On behalf of the killroy corporation, if you would come up here. Thats the sticking point. That was the issue that almost sent this back to committee. So if youll stand up, raise your right hand im just kidding, i cant do that to you here and tell me that youre representing to the San Francisco board of supervisors that youll restate the triparty agreement to take out the provisions that we call the gag order in whole . Yes or no question. Yes. Supervisor peskin is there anybody here on behalf of the flower market, counsel, representative for the flower market . Good evening. Im the general manage other of the San Francisco flower mart representing the San Francisco flower mart llc formally known as the japanese market. Yes. Supervisor peskin and while we have you up here, as to other aspects of this negotiation that has kept me up until the wee hours of this morning, are you saying when enough . We are still finalizing the documentation, but the item was struck from the triparty agreement this afternoon. I understand that. At a high level, relative to the words in the d. A. , that are before this board, and relative to the restatement of the triparty agreement that is not before the board because we are not a party to it, are you conceptually sanguine . We are in agreement with the documentation, we just need to finalize it. Supervisor peskin okay. Is your lawyer here . Would yes. Would you like him up here . Supervisor peskin yes. I didnt want that lawyer, i wanted your other lawyer. Adam. Okay. I would prefer the other lawyer. Adam, if i could pronounce your last name i would use it, but i call you adam. Good evening. Im associated with the rennie law group. Supervisor peskin got it. So what i just heard was that your client and there is kind of two of them is conceptually okay with the agreement, but the final words have not been resolved, is that correct . That is correct. Supervisor peskin heres a question to my deputy City Attorneys, which we now have three, if were going to pass this on First Reading, were approving a d. A. That is not final thats what we just heard how long do the parties have to agree before this enters the record . The ordinance itself allows the parties to modify the agreement in nonmaterial ways, even after the even after the board finally act to approve the Development Agreement. There is not a deadline to modify the agreement before the board act, although, the board could certainly tell the parties that youre not willing to pass it on second reading on january 7th unless there are documents in the clerks file by a certain date. Supervisor peskin thank you, councillor. That was the answer i was looking for. Thank you, adam. Some day ill learn your last name. With that, colleagues, thank you for your indulgence. And i respectfully request that we pass this on First Reading, subject to discussions and words written by a bunch of fancy lawyers that better be done by 7, january, 2020. Hold on a second. Toppier, what . No go ahead. Better say it now. Ms. Toppier would like to say one more thing. I want to make sure the amendments get included. State them, please. The amendments include a typographical error in the Development Agreement ordinance. The clarifications and refinements of the Development Agreement including the establishment of the dispute resolution process. The annual payment of the 200,000 soma street cleaning funds for 10 years being paid into a fund. And then thats it. Those are the amendments. Supervisor peskin colleagues, id like to move these amendments that have within deemed by the City Attorney not to be substantive. And mr. President i hope somebody will second that. President yee sure. Seconded by supervisor safai. So i just want to before we vote on this, i want to give if you wish, the supervisor of the district, whether you have any comments or no no, we worked together on the amendments and thank you for the support of that and the folks from killroy. Im supportive of the amendments and the d. A. President yee thank you. This motion for and accept the amendments. Clerk just for the record, were going to mark supervisor ronen as absent for that vote. President yee yes, yes. Also can i back up a little bit . I should have done this earlier. Supervisor ronen asked me to excuse her from the rest of the meeting because shes dealing with an emergency in her district . Motion to excuse her . Seconded by supervisor safai. With no objection, then ill excuse supervisor ronen. So what am i doing . We have the amendments passed, so colleagues, i guess we should take roll call. On the amended item. For 23 and 24. On 23 and 24 as amended. Supervisor mar aye. Peskin aye. Preston aye. Safai aye. Stefani aye. Walton aye. Yee aye. Fewer aye. Haney aye. Mandelman aye. There are 10 ayes. President yee okay.

President yee any of my colleagues like to sever any items . Okay. Seeing none, colleagues, can we take these the balance same house, same call . Supervisor haney did you can i sever 32 . President yee 32 . Sure. Okay. Can we take the remaining balance of the items same house, same call . Without objection, the motions are approved unanimously. Madame clerk, please call item 32. Item 32 is a resolution to urge the zuckerberg Hospital Administration to demonstrate a commitment to patient care by increasing attending physicians and nonresident providers to focus on physician and nurse wellness. Supervisor haney . Supervisor haney thank you, president yee. I just have minor amendments i received from some of the frontline workers at general hospital. I work with 1021. If you recall, the last meeting i spoke about resolution in support of primarily at that time, the residents and intern physicians at general hospital. I wanted to add different piece ofs of this that pieces of that that address challenges that other people are having. One of the things we wanted to underscore, all of the parties should be working together with the department of Human Resources to identify and remedy sources of delay in hiring. And i that well take these amendments and pass this resolution. Thanks again to both the folks at the hospital. Dr. Koufax who i spoke to about this. And is helping to explain and identify some of the solutions. And to all the cosponsors. President yee im sorry. Supervisor haney, what are the actual amendments . Would you like to read it . Supervisor haney theyre passed out i think. I didnt get [laughter]. I dont have a copy in front of me. You want me to read . President yee just give the gist so the public understands. Supervisor haney sure. There is really just adding one whereas clause that says, the Nurse Staffing and hiring agreed too between the city and county and San Francisco states that the city will work to identify and prioritize filling nurse vacancies and actions may be included but not limited to identify and remediating sources of delay in hiring. And answer that thats the main change. President yee thank you. Supervisor stefani. Supervisor stefani yes, thank you. Id like to be added a cosponsor . Supervisor safai id like to be added as a cosponsor and note there is ongoing conversations with the nurses about more indepth analysis of what is happening at the hospital. So i appreciate the move to acknowledge them, but i think there is going to be further conversations about what is happening there. I appreciate that. Definitely. President yee i would like to be added. This is a motion to make amendments on this resolution . Is there a second . Seconded by supervisor stefani. Ill take this without objection. Can i take this item same house, same call as amended . Okay. So this resolution passes. Thank you very much. Clerk todays meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following. On behalf of supervisor walton, for all of the district 10 constituents murdered in 2019. And on behalf of supervisor peskin, for the late mr. Mike english. And mr. Sar kissian. So, colleagues, that brings us to the end of the agenda. Is there any further business before us today . Clerk that concludes the business. President yee have a wonderful safe holiday and i hope you guys come back all refreshed to roll up your sleeves for next year. Thank you very much, were adjourned. My son and i was living in my car. We was in and out of shelters in San Francisco for almost about 3. 5 years. I would take my son to school. We would use a public rest room just for him to brush his teeth and do a quick little wipeoff so it seemed he could take a shower every day. It was a very stressful time that i wish for no one. My name is mario, and i have lived in San Francisco for almost 42 years. Born here in hayes valley. I applied for the San FranciscoAffordable Housing lottery three times. My son and i were having to have a great happened to have a great lottery number because of the neighborhood preference. I moved into my home in 2014. The neighborhood preference goal was what really allowed me to stay in San Francisco. My favorite thing is the view. On a clear day, im able to see city hall, and on a really clear day, i can see salesforce tower. We just have a wonderful neighborhood that we enjoy living in. Being back in the neighborhood that i grew up in, its a wonderful, wonderful experience. Now, we can hopefully reach our goals, not only single mothers, but single fathers, as well, who are living that. Live your dream, live your we spoke with people regardless of what they are. That is when you see change. That is a lead vannin advantage. So Law Enforcement assistance diversion to work with individuals with nonviolent related of offenses to offer an alternative to an arrest and the county jail. We are seeing reduction in drugrelated crimes in the pilot area. They have done the program for quite a while. They are successful in reducing the going to the county jail. This was a state grant that we applied for. The department is the main administrator. It requires we work with multiple agencies. We have a community that includes the da, Rapid Transit police and San FranciscoSheriffs Department and Law Enforcement agencies, Public Defenders Office and adult probation to Work Together to look at the population that ends up in criminal justice and how they will not end up in jail. Having partners in the nonprofit world and the public defender are critical to the success. We are beginning to succeed because we have that cooperation. Agencies with very little connection are brought together at the same table. Collaboration is good for the department. It gets us all working in the same direction. These are complex issues we are dealing with. When you have systems as complicated as police and health and proation and jails and nonprofits it requires people to come to Work Together so everybody has to put their egos at the door. We have done it very, very well. The model of care where police, district attorney, public defenders are communitybased organizations are all involved to worked towards the common goal. Nobody wants to see drug users in jail. They want them to get the correct treatment they need. We are piloting lead in San Francisco. Close to civic center along market street, union plaza, powell street and in the mission, 16th and mission. Our goal in San Francisco and in seattle is to work with individuals who are cycling in and out of criminal justice and are falling through the cracks and using this as intervention to address that population and the Racial Disparity we see. We want to focus on the mission in tender loan district. It goes to the partners that hired case managers to deal directly with the clients. Case managers with referrals from the police or city agencies connect with the person to determine what their needs are and how we can best meet those needs. I have nobody, no friends, no resources, i am flatout on my own. I witnessed women getting beat, men getting beat. Transgenders getting beat up. I saw people shot, stabbed. These are people that have had many visits to the county jail in San Francisco or other institutions. We are trying to connect them with the resources they need in the community to break out of that cycle. All of the referrals are coming from the Law Enforcement agency. Officers observe an offense. Say you are using. It is found out you are in possession of drugs, that constituted a lead eligible defense. The officer would talk to the individual about participating in the program instead of being booked into the county jail. Are you ever heard of the leads program. Yes. Are you part of the leads program . Do you have a case worker . Yes, i have a case manager. When they have a contact with a possible lead referral, they give us a call. Ideally we can meet them at the scene where the ticket is being issued. Primarily what you are talking to are people under the influence of drugs but they will all be nonviolent. If they were violent they wouldnt qualify for lead. You think i am going to get arrested or maybe i will go to jail for something i just did because of the Substance Abuse issues i am dealing with. They would contact with the outreach worker. Then glide shows up, you are not going to jail. We can take you. Lets meet you where you are without telling you exactly what that is going to look like, let us help you and help you help yourself. Bring them to the Community Assessment and Services Center run by adult probation to have assessment with the department of Public Health staff to assess the treatment needs. It provides meals, groups, there are things happening that make it an open space they can access. They go through detailed assessment about their needs and how we can meet those needs. Someone who would have entered the jail system or would have been arrested and book order the charge is diverted to social services. Then from there instead of them going through that system, which hasnt shown itself to be an effective way to deal with people suffering from suable stance abuse issues they can be connected with case management. They can offer Services Based on their needs as individuals. One of the key things is our approach is client centered. Hall reduction is based around helping the client and meeting them where they are at in terms of what steps are you ready to take . We are not asking individuals to do anything specific at any point in time. It is a Program Based on whatever it takes and wherever it takes. We are going to them and working with them where they feel most comfortable in the community. It opens doors and they get access they wouldnt have had otherwise. Supports them on their goals. We are not assigning goals working to come up with a plan what success looks like to them. Because i have been in the field a lot i can offer different choices and let them decide which one they want to go down and help them on that path. It is all on you. We are here to guide you. We are not trying to force you to do what you want to do or change your mind. It is you telling us how you want us to help you. It means a lot to the clients to know there is someone creative in the way we can assist them. They pick up the phone. It was a blessing to have them when i was on the streets. No matter what situation, what pay phone, cell phone, somebody elses phone by calling them they always answered. In officebased setting somebody at the reception desk and the clinician will not work for this population of drug users on the street. This has been helpful to see the outcome. We will pick you up, take you to the appointment, get you food on the way and make sure your needs are taken care of so you are not out in the cold. First to push me so i will not be afraid to ask for help with the lead team. Can we get you to use less and less so you can function and have a normal life, job, place to stay, be a functioning part of the community. It is all part of the home reduction model. You are using less and you are allowed to be a viable member of the society. This is an important question where lead will go from here. Looking at the data so far and seeing the successes and we can build on that and as the department based on that where the investments need to go. If it is for five months. Hopefully as final we will come up with a model that may help with all of the communities in the california. I want to go back to school to start my ged and go to community clean. It can be somebody scaled out. That is the hope anyway. Is a huge need in the city. Depending on the need and the data we are getting we can definitely see an expansion. We all hope, obviously, the program is successful and we can implement it city wide. I think it will save the county millions of dollars in emergency services, police services, prosecuting services. More importantly, it will save lives. My background is in engineering. I am a Civil Engineer by training. My career has really been around government se
