First, when item 16 is called, the public hearing on the findings and recommendation of Law Enforcement staffing numbers, i will ask for a motion to continue item 16 to the date of april ill give you the date later, but basically, its not crucial they present today even though it would have been a good discussion, but we can wait for that to happen. Now, to the purpose of this continuance, circumstances are changing rapidly with the covid19 disease and the citys response is ever evolving. For item 25, supervisor ronen is requesting this body to meet as a committee of the whole for the public hearing on the citys preparations on response to this Health Emergency and global pandemic. Originally, this public hearing was scheduled for special meeting on thursday, march 19, 2020, but due to the urgent nature of the Health Emergency, i do not believe it is prudent to wait until thursday to provide Important Information to the public and learn the citys response. Ill be asking for a motion to amend item 25 to reflect the public hearing for todays meeting in addition to thursdays meeting. If necessary, to ensure the public can learn information today. Further, before the public hearing takes place, i will be introducing an imperative item to call for a closed session to also take place today at 3 00 p. M.

As already indicated, after the closed session, the public hearing on city preparation will be called and open to the public.

President , but we could go to roll call for introductions. Mandelman submits. Mar . Supervisor mar thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, i have one resolution im introducing today that relates to the topic of the day. San francisco has led the nation as the first place to enact mandatory paid sick leave as well as Family Friendly workplace and paid parental laws. These were ground breaking, but they were not designed with Public Health emergencies in mind. San francisco must lead once again to ensure that everyone is economically healthy as well as physically healthy and workers can afford to shelter in place. The emergency expansion of paid sick leave announced by mayor breed yesterday is a positive step forward, but its not enough to leave it up to the employers to decide. Over the weekend, the house of representatives adopted a comprehensive Coronavirus Relief bill that includes expanded paid leave, but shockingly, it exempts the largest employers who represent 54 of the workforce. The largest corporations dont need a bailout. Workers do. We need all hands on deck from washington to sacramento to city hall to ensure our workers are taken care of. So today im introducing a resolution along with supervisor haney urging action to expand access to paid leave during Public Health emergencies. We need to make sure workers know what rights they have and that those rights are enforced and protected. Some will have accrued paid sick leave they can use under San Franciscos paid sick leave ordinance and some will be eligible for Unemployment Insurance, but not all employees know their rights or how to access the benefits. So this resolution calls for the creation of a multilingual workers right hot line so everyone can access the information and rapid enforcement action to know their rights and protect them. We need to expand workers rights where they feel to meet the urgency of our current crisis. Under the law today, there is no assurance that workers who must stay home will be paid. Under the law today, nontraditional workers, domestic workers, laborers and undocumented workers do not have access to safety net programs like Unemployment Insurance. Under the law today, nearly one quarter of the United States workers receive no form of paid sick leave. So this resolution urges the United States congress to mandate that all employers provide their employees with additional 14 days of paid leave during Public Health emergencies. With public funds provided to make it possible for small and mediumsized businesses to comply. And it further urges action by congress to the governor and state legislature to meet our current needs. With this resolution, we will support bills on the state and federal level that would move us toward these needs and commit to act locally to fill gaps where state and federal action falls short. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor peskin. Supervisor peskin ive got one in memoriam that i submitted and in the interest of time will submit the rest. President yee supervisor ronen skipped . No, im after preston. I dont know how that happened. Im sorry. Thank you. Supervisor preston . Supervisor preston thank you, madame clerk. Colleagues, i have several items today and just wanted to start by thanking deputy City Attorney for moving very, very quickly on these items. I greatly appreciate it with everything going on. I appreciate the quick turnaround. So, first, i am introducing a resolution calling on the governor, the courts, and the mayor to immediately suspend all eviction activity, except evictions necessary to protect for safety. Im sad to report as i speak today, eviction notices are still being served in San Francisco and eviction cases of our residents are still moving forward in our courts. This is absolutely the last thing we need right now. To quickly recap where we are in residential evictions, there has been a lot of discussion and activity. I introduced an ordinance last week to ban nonpayment evictions arising the crisis. The mayor and i had an opportunity to meet and she issued a directive against nonpayment evictions from covidrelated loss of income. This was an important step. Its a start, but unfortunately, its not enough. I urged mayor to broaden her directive to create a real Eviction Moratorium that is comprehensive and includes no fault evictions. Barring action on that, well continue to move forward with the ordinance i introduced last week, tailored to make sure we address no fault evictions. I want to thank the Mayors Office for her work on these issues. Sophia kitler. The San Francisco superior court has given at best a mixed message. The court changed its website in a way that suggested that all jury trials, including eviction cases would be continued and delayed for 90 days, but tenant attorneys are told its business as usual and eviction cases are proceeding in the courts. People obviously cannot shelter in place if theyre having to show up and defend themselves from eviction, so i call on the San Francisco superior court and state Judicial Council to make sure these cases are postponed and wanted to thank the folks at the eviction defense collaborative for bringing this to our attention. The governor has weighed in with an executive order as you know, yesterday, this was an important step forward. Id like to thank the governor for this action and in particular the ordinance lays out the stakes and why keeping people housed is so critically important. However, like the mayors directive, the governors executive order addresses nonpayment arising from loss of income and does not address other types of eviction, so our resolution urges further action from the governor. Colleagues, ive seen a lot of good from folks in the last week with outpouring of neighbors reaching out. Some of those include landlords in my district, but, unfortunately, there are thos
