Entrance. I dont want anybody to come to the front door didn and nobodyl be there and then theyll end up in some unfortunate situation. Thats what im trying to solve for here. Ive got it. I think thats provided that language or provided however language. That accomplishes that. Im not an attorney, but i think ive expressed my policy considerations. We will commit to having if the door is not open, we will have staff out there in orange, bright vests, easily identify, on adebtoalert to let everybodye to go and that would be great. Deputy city attorney, did you capture the wording . Roughly, and i will work it out on paper and send it to the clerk after the meeting ends. Ok, so the intention is there and youll just i cant think of that wording, but we can vote on it. Yes. So i like to make my motion which quite clearly says that either individuals can go through the front door or that the city will be there to staff them and send them through the growth street entrance. So second. Second. Supervisor safaye. Motion made seconded and on the amendment itself, madam clerk, can we have a role call . On the amendment to number 2 can we repeat what the amendment is . Through the president to supervisor walton, this is soup store peskin, my amendment was that any member of the public who is attempting to pay their property taxes on 15, may, before 4 00 p. M. , most people who paid them in person go to the poke street carlton b. Goodlet entrance and that either they are let into the building or if they are not let into the building as the treasurer indicated, there will be individuals to redirect them into the grove street entrance, whereby they can go into the light court and subsequently pay their property taxes. So either the city administrator opens up the front door or there are humans to rerefer those people into the grove street entrance and that is the sum and substance of my amendment. If i may, mr. President , just to clarify the this is john givener again. The resolution authorizes the treasurer Tax Collectors Office to remain open at 4 00 p. M. Presumably until 5 00 p. M. On the 15th. It can only be open to 4 00 on the days preceding and i dont believe supervisor peskins amendment changes that. Right, that through the president is correct, mr. Givener. Madam clerk, continue. On item number 25. role call . There are 11 ayes. The motion carries to amend. Mr. President , i had my name on the roster and i have a question to ask for the treasurer, if thats ok. Yes, supervisor safaye. So im sorry, i was waiting for supervisor peskin to finish his amendments. But i have one clarifying question and mr. Givener pointed out this office will be open until 4 00 p. M. Prior to may 15th, but it doesnt say what days its open and im wondering how the public is going to know what days its open prior to may 15th and if it makes sense to just call out what day actually the treasurer, Tax Collector intends to reopen its office. Thank you, supervisor. We are planning to be open on both the 13th and the 14t 14th from 9 00 a. M. To 4 00 p. M. On both of those days and then on the 15th, friday, the deadline day from 9 00 a. M. To 5 00 p. M. For regular hours. So i would just want to be clear and i appreciate you letting me announce that here so people will know that they will actually have three days to come to city hall and make their property tax payments. My question, through the chair, would it make sense, then, to actually put that in, since were making the amendment about clarity in terms of the front door, to not just put into the resolution that its open on those days. Would you like to make a motion to add that language it would be open for business for those two days . As stated by the treasurer, that we would add in the office shall be open may 13th and 14th from 1 00 a. M 9 00 a. M. To 4 00 p. M. So is there a second . Second, sandra fewer. Didnt madam clerk, please call the role on the amendment. role call perfor. There are 11 ayes. So the motion passes. Madam clerk, lets go and take role on the resolution as amended. On item 25, supervisor role call . There are 11 ayes. So the resolution as amended is adopted. Lets go to item number 26. Item number 26, resolution to support a family constitutional amendment number 5, introduced by family members from the november 3, 2020 general election to reinstate affirmative action in Public Contact hiring and Public Education. Ok, colleagues, i just want to thank everyone for cosponsoring this item. And i just heard today that the aca5 got out of the Assembly Committee and will be going to the next step in the process. We had a process conference on this issue today, sponsored by the chinese affirmative action and i want to thank them for their work in pushing this issue ahead. We hope to get this on the ballot for november so that we can finally get rid of prop 209. Madam clerk supervisor peskin. Yes. Madam clerk. Im happy to talk about aca5. [ laughter ] ok, madam clerk, please call the role. role call . Item 26 there are 11 ayes. This resolution is adopted unanimously. Madam clerk, 27. Item 27, resolution to urge govern gavin newsom and secretary of state to adopt and implement election reforms for the president ial election including votebymail ballots for every registered voter to provid paivoter. inaudible . Thank you for cosponsoring this that Governor Newsom will be making an executive order about election for novembers president ial election, specifically to expand vote by mail. However, i am concerned there may not be a universal guidance on inperson voting options for the state. While pro cautionary measures need to be taken to ensure Public Health safety during the election, we cannot allow democracy to be undermined by county discretion. More mass Public Education on how to vote and ensuring that equity is center in any of these models that we implement so that the ederly people with disabilities, young voterrers and nonenglish speakers have fair and equal access. I really hope that we can continue advocating so that there are some limited, safe options in november statewide and i want to recognize San Francisco rising and the Chinese Association of justice and just cause, asian law caucus and acl ultimatufor ongoing advocacy. Madam clerk, a role call. Item 27 role call . I didnt hear with the rumbling. Item number 27. role call . There are 11 ayes. Thank you. So this resolution is adopted unanimously. So madam clerk, item number 28. Item 28 is the resolution to recognise and celebrate may as Asian PacificAmerican Heritage month in the city and county of San Francisco and honor the countless contributions of the Asian Pacific american community. Thank you, madam clerk and thank you colleagues for your patience in the last few items. I want to thank you for all of you, for your cosponsorship of this item to celebrate the Asian PacificAmerican Heritage month. As you all know, traditions and policies to hold special accommodations for Asian PacificAmerican Heritage month on the first tuesday of may. Because due to the shelterinplace orders, that was suspended. I hope we can do that again, but for now, the celebration will continue in spirit and online virtually. May is a very significant month for the Apa Community because of two historical events. One is the arrival of the first japanese immigrants to the United States on may 7, 1843 and the other is may 10, 1869, Chinese Railroad workers day. Now more than ever, we need to rise with the Asian Pacific americans in unity, given the rise in racism and genophobia during this pandemic and we will not be doing special commendations and this will promote events and activities taking place this month and in to honor an apa individual or organization in your district through social media. I want to thank claudine chang and all for moving their events online and coordinating a very interactive program. I want to include the center for Asian American media, the 50th h center of San Francisco, cyc on the occasion of their 50t 50th anniversary and Japanese Community youth center, jcyc on the occasion of their 50t 50th anniversary and the San FranciscoSister City Committee on their occasion of their 25th anniversary. I hope we can come together to continue to elevate the voices and experiences of those in our community that have made countsless contributions.

Madam clerk, any other business before us today . Just to thank our strong, Technical Team today who produced our meeting and thank you, guys, john, brent and to apologize to the public for the inconveniences. If you for staying with us and colleagues, thank you for indulging me in the last half an hour. Meeting is adjourned. Im joined today by the director of the department of Public Health, the department of emergency management, and the police chief, and the director of the Human Services agency, trent roher and the director of homelessness and supportive housing. Thank you all for joining us here today. As of today, may 4th, we have 1,624 cases of the coronavirus here in San Francisco and sadly, we have lost 29 people to the virus here in our city. And if you want more information, you can please visit datasf. Org covid19. Its or tracker with detailed information around testing and other helpful information by zip code that people may be interested in seeing. And today, i had a couple of things to talk about specifically, the new health order issued on friday by our county Health Officers and i really mention this on friday, but i think this is really exciting, that even though we still have challenges that exist, the ability to allow people to get back to work is so important. And construction in our city will be allowed, as well as outdoor businesses and today, i just want to express, again, my appreciation of the outdoor activities, outdoor businesses and how important it is to make sure that we start to gradually get back to business. We know our governor announced a plan that he will release on guidelines, as well as timing of when some of our Small Businesses, our book stores, small retailers can get back to work and i think its important that we provide some guidance. To be clear, the whole point of the Health Directive has everything to do with limiting our ability to be in contact with people so that we can avoid not only transmitting the virus or contracting it ourselves in the first place. And the ability to do that is critical, but we also realize there are a number of people out there that are struggling financially and if there is a way to accomplish the Public Health goal of keeping people safe with also allowing businesses to operate but to operate differently with certain guidelines, i think that we can definitely Work Together to achieve that goal and get to a better place. In fact, this weekend, i spent a lot of time in a lot of neighborhoods, all throughout the city, and actually, there was a flower shop on chestmut thachestnutopen and and availabe its considered an essential business. I dont remember being happy when i stood in line at a sixfeet distance and i didnt even care. I purchased flowers and i was so happy to purchase these flowers that in my house, i take them with whatever room i decide im going be in and thats the room that the flowers will travel in and its just, you appreciate things a lot more, but, also, i was so happy for the business that was able to open and when i looked around the area, i thought, with some of the retail businesses, why cant they do the same thing. They werent allowing any customers to come within their inside within their shop area. Its an outdoor flower shop and there was a divider up and a gate. And there was no way anyone was entering the business but the ability for people to stand in line and to purchase and get flowers was absolutely incredible. And the good news is, in in health order that was just issued, a florists are able to deliver flowers for mothers day and i hope many of will take this opportunity to either go online or call your local florist or put in an order for flowers, not just through this weekend for mothers day, but just in general because we want to continue to support that industry. We know flee market flea markete open again and youll see food trucks. Oftentimes, its one or two people working in these food trucks and they dont have the ability to manage a line and so, again, this goes into, you know, asking everyone to be supportive of maintaining your distance, wearing your mask and being respectful of one another so three cannot only continue to allow Street Vendors and all of these other great things, florists and gardeners, we want them to stay open and the only way tie lo we allow them to stan is when people follow the rules. As we look at other opportunities to allow nonessential businesses like our book stores and our Retail Stores where you can buy clothing or toys for kids or things of that nature, as we start to look at those opportunities, were going to be paying close attention to what weve already allowed. And if were not able to manage and maintain those wit with the distancing requirements, it will be difficult to start to get back to business. And so i just want to express my appreciation to all of the Small Businesses out there and, also, understanding that we know youre struggling and its going to be important for us to look at and implement new guidelines, but to also make sure that youre able to get back to business without compromising the incredible gains weve already made as it relates to flattening the curve, not reducing the curve. We still see the number of deaths go up and we still see the number of cases go up and we are by no means out of the woods on this, but we also recognise this there is a possibility to provide opportunities for Small Businesses to open safely with certain guidelines and we will continue to work with the governor and work with our Public Health officials to try and do it in a responsible way and we appreciate your patience and your cooperation. And, you know, again, as i spend a lot time in a lot of different neighborhoods all over the city just to get a feel for what was happening in the castro is by the beach and in other places, i did notice something really upsetting, and that is the number of people who were not socially distancing themselves at the deloris park. Deloris park continues to be a challenge because we know on nice days that is the place to be for so many folks. Its a great place, good energy, good weather and, unfortunately, again, we had a real challenge with people who were coming together in groups and not socially distancing themselves from one another and the work, the folks, our park rangers and other security, they had their work cut out. Were all adults here and theres no reason to send in any of our Law Enforcement or anyone to tell people what they should be already doing. And so, i bring up deloris park, because today is a nice day in San Francisco and our goal is to monitor deloris park within the next couple of days. And if we see that that behaviour has not changed, we will close of park and i want to be clear. This is the last thing i want do and we know that people need fresh air. They want to be out but if we continue to see that behaviour become problematic at deloris park, it will no longer be available. So im asking everyone to be cooperative and to make sure that theyre following social distancing. People are wearing their masks when appropriate do so so that we are able to continue to enjoy this incredible open space and, again, making sure that we do our best to enjoy open space within our own neighborhoods. And the other thing i want to talk about that i think is important is the fact that street cleaning has been a problem. And people are not moving their cars and what weve tried to do with the public, because there are certain people that may have contracted the virus and cant leave their homes, certain ederly people who, for whatever reason, cant move their cars and we were sensitive to that. But there are a lot abledbody people who are able to get up and move your car. And the problem that were having right now, a lot folks are not doing that, and at a time where we need to clean our streets the most, we dont environment luxury to allow this to continue. So, again, here is another warning. Not only will we start to implement ticketing around street cleaning, we will look at other ways in which we c
