Madam clerk, please call the role. role call . There are 11 ay session. Yes. Lets do a role call. Up next is supervisor mar. Im introducing a resolution along with supervisors hany and walton excuse me, supervisor mar, youre not on live video. And i dont know if that was your intention or not. Ill turn it on. Thank you. So first im introducing a resolution along with hany, ronan and walton to establish rapid enforcement to address midclassification of the San Francisco employees and ensure local compliance with bill 5 and to proactively communicate there are obligations under local laws to provide benefits such as paid sick leave to employees. This resolution call calls on te city of attorney, California Attorney general and state labor secretary to help workers access benefits theyre entitled to, such as paid sick live, Unemployment Insurance and more. Additionally, the resolution urges the department of Public Health to pay minimum health and safety guidelines for transportation is food delivery drivers who continue to operate this pandemic which includes demanding the companies provide sanitary supplies and workers rights under Workers Compensation should they come in contact with a worker infectedded. I woulinfected. I would like to o havparticipated and other groups supported in this. Unemployment insurance and family medical leave arent just nice to have. Theyre the difference between workers being able to feed their families or not and during this pandemic, theyre essential for Public Health. They denied workers their rights and this is immoral, irresponsible and we will not stand for it. Now more than ever, uber, lyft is doordash must do the right thing and more importantly follow the law and classify their drivers and other workers as employees rather than independent contractors instepped of spendinincityof sp. Im introducing an emergency ordinance to create a new category of paid leave in San Francisco, Public Health emergency leave. Congress took action to expand paid leave for workers but left out a huge chunkful our workforce by exempting youve corporations. Ti and taking action to ensure were working for the people in sanfrancisco. Employees will be able to access additional weeks of paid leave, closing the major loophole in the federal legislation and making sure that in health emergencies, workers are able to take time off if they need for themselves and their families. When sick people have to choose between their livelihoods, we are all worse off and when parents have to choose between paycheck or staying home with their kids when schools are closed, we are all worse off. This is a gap we need to close is we will close. But this is only one step of many that must be taken to ensure that people are not only healthy focuscally but economically and im proud of all of the work this body is doing right now to address this. I want to thank supervisor matt hany for sponsoring this measure and for the coalition that came together to make this happen at an unprecedented pace, the San FranciscoLabor Council and jobs adjusted. We drafted this emergency measure ourselves to have it ready for today because as our Health Officer said, hours matter and when thousands of those in San Francisco are wondering if they can put food on the table, we cant afford to wait to act. Thank you. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor mar. Supervisor safaye, we see your note for a cosponsor. Supervisor peskin . I have nothing for role call. Other than to wish this man a happy birthday. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisosubmit. Supervisor ronin. Today with my colleagues supervisor hany and dean preston, i am introducing a resolution urging the governor, our federal legislators and the Trump Administration to impose an immediate moratorium on rent and mortgage payments. For mortgages this means the principal debt must remain unpaid and mortgage payments would resume after the emergency is lifted. For rents, it would mean the rents would be forgiven and for both, there would be no negative impact on credit scores. I know that everyone of my colleagues, the mayor, every City Department head and every employee is working a peak ungency to save lives and to minimize the demonstrating impact of the emergency. We are examining every logistical and programmatic route to bolster our healthcare capacity and keep people safe and housed. Right now as businesses are shuddered to follow state and local home orders, workers throughout San Francisco workers are reeling from loss of income. 80 or more of workers will lose their job, along with travel, entertainment and sales workers. Some will be eligible for Unemployment Insurance but only at a fraction of what they would otherwise earn, with a maximum of 450 per week. And many workers are not eligible for any Unemployment Benefits at all. Youve probably seen the reports well before coronavirus hit. That 40 of americans did not have cash on hand to cover an unexpected expense of 400 and 78 of American Workers said that they are living paycheck to paycheck. These are many of the constituents and they are isolated in their apartments right now, running out of money for food and prescriptions and knowing that on april 1st, they wont be able to pay rent. The moratorium was an essential step. It took no time at all for the Federal Reserve to find 1. 5 trillion to save banks and the stock market, but were not seeing anything substantial from homeowners and renters. Fha and fannie mac are putting a hold on many and most remain to banks to decide how and if to implement. We cannot wait for this to happen. What we are calling for is a simultaneous halt now on both mortgages and rents. If the banks are required to suspend mortgage payments, landlords will be able to weather a moratorium on rent exposrentsand renters will see t at the end of the tunnel. They are all facing potential, crushing debt. We cannot abandon. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor ronin. Supervisor sayaye. Thank you. I have two things to discuss and the first is just to highlight to everyone weve been in conversation with the minioperators as it pe pertaino working conditions and i spoke with their leader there, the union roger moranco and theres a lot of concern about collection and how people are boarding and exiting the train and weve been in conversations with the head of the sfmts and i think those conversations are going well. People are putting together good ideas on how to protect our operators. While at the same time practise social distancing an ensuring we not hurting themuni. Operations. Theres been a conversation of how to limit the number of people on the buses and to protect the passengers at the same time and so the union and muni are continuing the conversations and feel close in coming up with a solution if all parties can abide by that. The second thing is the City Attorney today and ive been in conversations with them to draft a language and legislation that talks about a presumptive injury as it relates to covid19. We worked on a presumptive injury clause as it pertained to our first responder, police and fire last year as it pertained to Heart Disease and we believe under these emergency situations that presumptive injury should be expanded for frontline front responders and were asking that language to be drawn and were expanding that conversation and the most important thing is that this would then no longer be a burden on the employee to prove that they contracted covid19 in the workplace while on the front lines, but it would be presumptive injury that happened in the workplace to protect those workers. The City Attorney will work with us and Human Resources to protect our frontline workers and they shouldnt have to fill out forms and ensure that theyre proving that theyre contracting this virus in a time of need. And the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor safaye. Supervisor stephanie. Thank you, madam clerk, submit. Thank you for submitting and supervisor walton. Thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, i do have one item for today and im requesting the City Attorney to draft legislation to create a Family Income relief fund for San Francisco residents with children and dependents under 8 who dont qualify for stimulus. This will provide a monthly income relief relief 500 for cn or dependents at the schools during the covid19 pandemic. Residents will include residency card holders undocumented immigrants and independent contract workers, including Online Platform workers, contract firm workers, oncall workers and temporary workers. These are all populations that are not covered under federal and other stimulus plans and do not receive other benefits. Covid19 has created a threat to the economic stability of San Francisco residents and San Francisco families, especially those in our immigrant population requiring immediate Economic Relief to survive the short and longtime effects of the outbreak. The city has an obligation to create a safety net providing direct Economic Relief for families who experience a loss of income during this time of crisis of the covid19 pandemic. Direct Economic Relief will provide immediate assistance for food, rent, childcare and any emergency expenses accrued during this tough time. The legislation sets up a process to develop rules, regulations, guideline guidanced procedures for the income relief fund. I am in communities with the City Controllers Office on identifying resources and funds for this legislation. We will continue to work hard responding in the midst of a crisis to protect all populations in San Francisco and we should not forget to protect our immigrant families and families who are independent contract workers. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor walton. Supervisor yee. I just wore a masks, but in this society, weve seen this for medica medical professions , unfortunately, the general population, mainly in the u. S. Have not taken to those precautions. So colleagues, i introduce a resolution along with supervisors fewer and mar to condemn the racist language weve been hearing from the white house regarding the covid19 and attacks against our Asian Community members. I believe all of you today are signed on as cosponsor and i thank you. We must stand united against what we are witnessing unfolding before us. As our nation grapples with the Public Health emergency, we have a president and an administration that is scapegoals and citing violence against Asian Community members. We are calling on the city to take a stance to condemn the usage of racist terms like chinese flu, wuhan virus is we are calling to condemn the physical attacks across the nation. I want to condemn Comm
