Wore putting this forward and im putting this forward with my colleague, supervisor ronen, thank you, and supervisor mar, thank you, along with the support of jennifer and those from local 1021. And more importantly, the front loin nurses in particular at sf general that have been keeping us informed and letting us know about the situation. I think weve did not a good job of being prepared as we can. This would allow San Francisco and other areas to be even that much more prepared if and when theres a spike. So, that is all i have. The last thing i do want to say, supervisor peskin and i have been working over the weekend to try and get many of the private sectors janitors back to the table with some of the companies that are out there that are laying janitors off and their companies in this city that are treating their janitors as and many of their employees as they are their frontline employees and paying them. There are some that are deciding theyre going to use this opportunity at this moment to lay janitors off, were very hopeful this week will bear some fruit and there will be some further conversations. I think well hear from some janitors today during our Public Comment. I just wanted to highlight that. Thank you supervisor peskin for his leadership and work on this issue with me along with local 87 and were really hopeful well be able to keep people there. As all of you know, janitors are essential frontline workers and play a big role in ensuring that our buildings public spaces and private spaces are clean and free of coronavirus. Everything else, the rest i submit. Thank you. Clerk thank you, supervisor. Supervisor stefani. Submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor walton. Thank you, madam clerk and first of all, i just want to thank my colleagues for working to be very proactive as we are in this crisis and understanding that there are times where we need to put lives before focusing on money and it is very important that we continue to push to eliminate settings for our unhoused and vulnerable populations that are living on the streets and s. R. O. S and shelters and Navigation Centers and so, im excited about the legislation that was introduced at this meeting. I would also like to be a cosponsor to supervisor mars emergency ordinance that he introduced at roll call today and last, i just want to thank everyone for working to hear direct low from people who are on our streets and having conversations, aside from just having a video to present, it really did provide in sight as we got out and talked to some of our folks who are living outside and who are unhoused just hearing their stories approximate hearing how they are effected by this crisis as a whole and i want to thank all of my colleagues and city leadership for continuing to work to address the issues and concerns that come up minute by minute and hour by hour and day by day basis as we are dealing with this crisis and i have nothing to submit. Thank you, supervisor walton. Supervisor yee. Thank you, madam clerk. I apologize to supervisor ronen for interrupting her. What i saw was the video part of the presentation and realized wasnt seeing anything for a variety of reasons. That was my main reason why i thought it would be good to stop it. But the voices were there. So, i just wanted to remind everybody about our census. I want to remind everyone to fill out their census and remind their constituents to do the same. Theres still time to do the 2020 census. Either those census day has passed, the census is still live and will still have a lot of work to do to make sure the city, residents are common. The Response Rate is below the national. Below the state and below the regional averages. Census responses are co confidential and representation in congress. These results also determine how federal funding is distributed to schools, how schools, roads, social services and more. Everyone should do the census online at mine2020census. Gov. Or just call 8443302020 as soon as they can. Vis et the website for support in 14 other languages. It wont take long. I know when i filled mine out, it took less than five minutes. I want to say we all know how much our Small Businesses are struggling while the federal government, Small Business administration wrote out their 349 billiondollar Payroll Protection Program last friday to provide emergency loans to americans Small Businesses devastated by coronavirus. It has been nothing short of chaotic. We are hearing from Small Businesses, Business Owners being rejected by lenders who are refusing to participate in their program. We are hearing from people frustrated by the application process itself. As a city, i commend us for stepping up to provide local grants and loans but this federal program has been necessary and i really hope we can find a swift resolution so were not leaving our Small Businesses hanging. I will urge Small Business administration and our congressional delegation to lift restrictions and to provide additional assistance so that applications can move forward and to provide better provisions to for loans it more businesses. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you, mr. President. Next is supervisor fewer. We refer, bless. Thank you. Clerk supervisor haney. Thank you, madam clerk. Today im introducing emergency ordinance for increased employee protections for grocery store, drugstore, restaurant and on demand delivery employees. There are so many people who are still required to show up to work to make sure that the rest of us can still put food on our tables and have medications to survive. A cashiers, bakers, deli clerks, pharmacy clerks and on demand Food Delivery Service workers put their lives at risk of getting covid19 so that we can safely shelter in place. They help provide fresh meals to our families, replenish gross resident to shelves and deliver food and grow grocery to senior. The emergency legislation and co sponsors mar, walton, ronen, president ton, fewer, peskin, safai and yee addresses the needs of this Critical Group of workers who are not getting the level of employee protection they need to safely do their jobs during this pandemic. This is scary and challenging for all of us and especially our frontline workers making sure we have access to food, medicine and essential goods. Requiring workers to have access to these protections and also not face retaliation for it is essential for all of us to remain safe and healthy during this pandemic. This legislation strengthens Worker Protections that are covered by the Health Officers orders during covid19. It gives workers a level of protection, mechanism to foil a complaint with the office of labor standards of enforcements. The legislation requires one that employers provide workers with personal protective equipment such as gloves, masks, sanitizers, soap and water and it includes on demand Delivery Service employees who would have to be reimbursed for purchasing these items. On demand Delivery Service employees must be paid for time spent cleaning vehicles or driving to handwashing facilities during the shift. Third, on demand delivery platforms have to offer drivers and shoppers the option of executing a no Contact Delivery during the state of emergency and a work schedule for any reason under the citys paid sick leave ordinance and a fifth on demand Delivery Service employers must keep their employees uptodate with the latest social distancing protocols and how to com ploy and lastly and very importantly, no retaliation. Employers cannot just charge or threaten to charge suspend any person in retaliation for supervising their rights under this ordinance. I want to thank my staff, my chiefofstaff, abigale for reminding mesa and City Attorney, jim from uscw local 648 and uscw local 35. Rudy gonzalez and the many advocates with the jobs justice, human rights committee, uesc, Chinese Progress Association and all of their work pulling this together and moving it forward. Secondly, and many of you have spoken about this, about our emergency legislation to require hotel rooms for unhoused neighbors and im just proud of the work that weve all been doing together. I want to thank my colleagues preston ronen, walton and peskin and also supervisor mar of signing on as a cosponsor and to the entire board for supporting unanimously the resolution last week which really this legislation builds on what weve already put forward in the resolution and really strengthens what were asking for and the accountability around it. Weve had support and i want to and all of our staff who have been working so hard on this according for her work. And leadership and at a basic level, we want to underscore we cannot wait until people get sick to move them into private rooms. Just like were doing for everyone else, we have to prevent people from getting sick in the first place by giving them the ability to stay physically and socially distant from others and protect themselves. Our emergency legislation puts forward a preventative and commonsense strategy that wires the city to procure 8,250 hotel rooms which 730 workers of this crisis and 500 for medical quarantine per the advice of the d. P. H. Director and 7,000 for homeless. We know we cannot be reactive. We have a ticking time bomb on our streets and we have a responsibility to protect everyone, including people who are on our streets, shelters and Navigation Centers, we are not doing that right now and this legislation will provide the solution which is giving people a place where they can stay isolated, shelter at home, be safe and healthy, and as you saw from the video, there are so many people right now who dont have that and who are beg put at risk because of it and i very much look forward to continuing to work with all of you. Our Community Partners with the mayor and her administration to implement this legislation. The rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor haney. Supervisor mandelman. Submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor mar. Thank you, madam clerk. First off, i would like to ask to be added as a care sponsor of the state shelter sponsor to acquire of hotel rooms to not sure people experiencing homelessness have a safe place to shelter in during shelter in place and thank you so much to supervisors ronen, haney, walton and peskin to interes introduces today. Colleagues, today im announcing that i asked the City Attorney to draft legislation to ensure that laid off workers are the first ones offered their jobs back when businesses reopen and return to regular service. In the midst of the growing health pandemic, this urge in layoffs and unemployment in our country, state and cities has been nothing short of staggering. Businesses are hurting and so are the people who work or worked for them and we will get through this together. When businesses are again able to expand service, its imperative that we move as quickly as we can to bring back jobs for those current lo curred off for the health of our economy, businesses and workers. Our right to return to work ordinance will mean a quicker hiring process for the workers and businesses and for many, your healthcare is tied to your job and more certainty in rehiring means more certainty in health coverage. As i have said before, Economic Policy is and it will lead to better publichealth outcomes. I look forward to hearing more as we prepare this ordinance and the rest i submit. Thank you, supervisor mar. Supervisor peskin. Thank you, madam clerk and inaudible . Im sorry, im having a hard time hearing you, supervisor peskin. You sound very limited. Hold on, let me put in head phones. One moment please. Its best if we all use head phones. It reduces the echo. How is that . Much better, thank you. I started by asking not so much better. Just for a moment it was better. Supervisor peskin. When you move like three inches closer to the screen, we can hear you better. How is that . How is that . That sounds better. We do get to see you. I first asked to be added am i going through ok . Supervisor, peskin, you may want to turn off your video. Lets give that a try. The bandwidth may be weak. How is that . Give it a try. No. We can barely hear you. Supervisor yee supervisor fewer, are you ready . Yes. I was going to actually do introductions after supervisor peskin but im happy to give him a little bit of time to adjust his volume. Supervisor yee lets do that and supervisor peskin, can can someone go off line and see what we can do. We will work with him, mr. President. Supervisor yee thank you, mr. President. Sorry mr. Peskin. Thank you. How is that, guys . Im sorry. Supervisors. Is that better . That is better. Would you like to troy now, supervisor peskin. I am happy to defer to you supervisor fewer as you were first in roll call or happy to proceed. Either way. Supervisor yee you are really clear right now so go ahead. Why dont we take advantage of it. So, first of all, id like to be added to supervisor mars items that we voted on earlier and it was a cosponsor item number 16. And then colleagues, as supervisor fewer alluded to last week, today, together with supervisor preston, all three of us are introducing an emergency ordinance that would freeze all rent increases during this emergency period and this ordinance would freeze what would otherwise be permissable rent increases under chapter 37 the rent stabilization ordinance which would include bank rent increases, normal annual rent increases as well as any past increases and would be effective as of introduction today april 7th, and it would be heard in committee on the 20th if the president is willing to wave the 30day rule and could be heard at the full board of supervisors on april 21st. And i want t to note that supervisor fewer has been really a leader around legislation to curtail certain times of pass throughs to tenants and i was proud to lead the effort last year to create a hardship exemption for tenants unable to afford bond pass throughs which in turn, i think incres support for last novembers 600 milliondollar Affordable Housing bond. And i know that everybody is under a lot of pressure, businesses, some small landlords, but tenants have rarely been under the kind of intense pressure that theyre seeing now and i want to applaud the efforts of the board mayor to provide relief during this precarious time. Secondly, i prepared an ordinance that i was working with supervisor safai which in fact we are not going to introduce today but we will still work on because were both very pleased to learn our mayor will put forward a supplemental declaration of emergency as early as tomorrow and i understand that the fourth coming supplemental order would put a hard cap of 10 on total fees that third party Food Service Providers like grub hub, door dash, uber eats and others can charge to restaurants during the emergency. And as my colleagues mandelman safai are well aware this issue pro dates the emergency and weve seen some of these providers charging as much as 30 in fees for taunts that have been operating in margins and under the current emergency these businesses are of course doing quite well and im talking about the apps, not the restaurants and i wants to thank mayor breed for appreciate north in policy and i want to acknowledge supervisor safai and mandelman for their work on this issue as well. And with regard to the urgency ordinance a number of my colleagues have spoken to earlier, i want to thank them and community for the work over the last several days on this collective ordinance to ensure our homeless are brought indoors to safely comply with the shelter in place mandate. The reality on our streets, shared about the reality on our street, its time for us to really debunk the excuse for why Homeless Individuals are incapable of selfcare. The vast majority of our Homeless Population living on our streets that we encounter all the time, are over the age of 60 and or have multiple Underlying Health conditions. There are currently not being admitted no shelters which we know and while we have made incremental progress moving some individuals who have tested positive out of shelters and into quarantine, we are leaving thousands of individuals exposed to viral transmission. Today, a group of doctors released a report entitled a medically plan to stop the spread of covid19 among unhoused people which a firms the widespread publichealth opinion that created more mass shelters does not provide suffice laying fo for sro and qe opposite is true. It endangerers everyones health and well being and threatens to overwhelm our Hospital Systems that we are working to decongest. As the chief Health Officer told us last month i quote, from a disease transmission perspective, having your own room is the best. In addition to mandating sufficient rooms for homeless and shelter residents, our urgency ordinance would require accurate data reporting and tracking of s. R. O. S and homeless and shelter populations. The lack of transparency is concerning given that this information is not confidence shall and its data the public has a right to know and it should be public data and its critical as policymakers to understand. And finally with respect to cost, we know that much of this cost will be reimbursed by federal and state Emergency Response efforts. All of us have been asked to help fundraise private donations into the give to sf fund and we should also all know how much money has been raised and what we spent today and what weve spent it on. This information also should be reported to the board and the public on a regular basis. We all want the same things. We all want to flatten the curve and stop the spread of covid19 so that we can move on and focus on a recovery efforts. But in a crisis where every hour counts, we are really he, and this is been said before, not moving fast enough. So i hope that this ordinance will help us move quick low towards t
