resolution is passed on first reading unanimously. madame clerk, let's go to roll call for a couple of minutes. >> supervisor self-ny -- stefani, you're first up. >> i'm introducing a resolution to support bill 281, which will finally ban the sale of firearms and ammunition at the cal palace. since that time, the bill has changed and the newest version has just passed the state senate. despite ongoing support to end gun shows, the cal palace board of directors faces tremendous pressure from gun lobbyists. it is a publicly owned facility to showcase entertainment and host events that reflect the community. as we all stated many times, public facilities should be used for the public good and the costs of gun sale far outweigh the benefits. sp281 mirrors a similar bill which bans firearms and ammunition sales at the delmar fair grounds. last year, we saw the lowest rate of violent crime since 1961 and while that is worth celebrating, there is not a day that goes by in this country where there is the tragic loss of life by an individual who should have never had access to a gun in the first place. on sunday, night, patrons at a local sports bar had to run for cover when a man returned with a gun and open fire. we were lucky no one died. just yesterday, passengers on a greyhound bus open fire on fellow passengers killing a 51-year-old woman and injuring five others. there is no way to win the fight against the gun violence epidemic in our country, but we've had no chance. we will have no chance until we continue to work together to advocate for commonsense gun policy that save lives. i want to thank senator scott wiener for sponsorship and david chiu and phil tinge for their support. >> supervisor walton: thank you, madame clerk. today, i have one in memoriam in honor of mother essie. mother essie mcgraw web jones, also known as mommy was born in 1917. she was the third child of four children. in 1923, mommy essie and her aunt nellie relocated to lovejoy, illinois. after the birth of her oldest child, george thomas earl, she attended the madame c.j. walker beauty school. in 1942, she married webb senior in missouri. to that union, three children were born, nathaniel, alphonso and patricia. in 1949, she along with aunt nellie joined fake john missionary church. mommy essie was an active member of the church, a member of the chorus, the naomi circle of the mission union and much later, mother of the ministry of the church. the father of two children, robert alicia and alicia jones. adopted three brothers sandy and norman and linden. later mommy essie took on raising samuel warren james when he came to live with her. mommy essie had a very active life. she worked in a child care center, worked at the fairmont hotel in san francisco, served on the joint housing committee as a recording secretary and that committee was instrumental in getting the war projects torn down and the construction of the new apartment buildings in hunters point along with the u.s. post office on evans street. the committee also made sure that the new streets that came along with the buildings were named after some of the people who were responsible for the changes. mommy essie also worked as an intake referral manager for the economic opportunity council for more than four decades. she was a commissioner on the relocation of board, appointed by the late mayor joseph al oto. she and others were developing consent degree, fighting the school district to prevent the busing of children from the bayview hunters point community to other places in the city. and not busing other children to bayview hunters point. they were successful. she was helpful in getting youth in the community their first job. she was a member of the board of directors of the bayview hunters college, the first off-campus college of city college to offer accredited courses from city college. she fought to get the name of the bayview elementary school changed to dr. charles r. drew. on top of it all, mommy essie managed to operate a kitchen beauty barber shop, wash, press and curl or cut for $2. that's when her family began to grow. everyone loved her and she loved them. and referred to them as her children. mommy essie loved to cook, travel and take trips to the casinos. she attended all of her family reunions and made it duty to teach future generations about their history, knowing she was fourth generation descendant of former slaves. one of her proudest moments was to attend the inauguration of barack obama in 2008. she bragged about walking five miles to the washington mall with her son-in-law oscar and nephews perry and tyree. as she told the story, she left all three of them in the dust to witness the inauguration. she departed this life on wednesday, january 22, 2020. she is survived by 12 children, two daughter-in-laws. 35 great grandchildren, and host of nieces, nephews and cousins. the rest i submit. >> president yee: submit. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. colleagues, today i am introducing a motion with cosponsorship from all members of the budget and appropriations committee laying out the budget process for the board in the name of transparency for all city partners and members of the public. my office has been working to design a budget process that builds upon past best practices, changes aspects that didn't work last year and tries to build our capacity to make informed choices with regard to the budget. the city's $12 million billion budget is on the backs of hard-working residents of san francisco and i feel responsible for ensuring we hold ourselves accountable for how the funds are spent. our goals for this year are, one, to develop an understanding of the landscape facing the city budget f
