Clerk there are 11 ayes. President yee okay. So lets go ahead so the motion passes. Can we have a roll call on the item itself as amended. Clerk on item 46 as amended [roll call] clerk there are 11 ayes. President yee okay. So the resolution as amended is adopted. Madam clerk, lets call item 47. Clerk item 47 is a resolution to oppose indias exclusionary National Register of citizens and citizenship Amendment Act and reaffirming San Francisco as a welcoming city, expressing the city and county of San Franciscos board of supervisors solidarity with San Franciscos south Asian Community regardless of religion and caste. President yee supervisor mar . Supervisor mar colleagues, i know its very late, but i would like to speak to this item because so many south Asian Community members spoke out on this and its important to them. Through this motion, San Francisco is joining an International Movement in condemning indias exclusionary citizenship amendment and also joining cities like seattle, cambridge, massachusetts, albany, and st. Paul. In this global pandemic, we now know more than ever how interconnected we truly are. We know how the actions of our leaders domest leaders domestically and abroad affect us. The National Register of citizens and the National Citizenship register is rooted in the far right government of modi. Together, they lay the Legal Foundation to denaturalize millions of indias minorities to create the largest Homeless Population in the world. Last automatic, the Indian Government required 33 Million People to prove their citizenship, denaturalizing at least 2 million mostly muslim indians, rendering them stateless, and on january 27, genocide watch issued a genocide watch in india. The strong relationship between President Trump and Prime Minister modi and the shared bigoted parties in february, trump announced a 3 billion arms deal with india. There is more than a Foreign Policy issue. The hindu nationalist ecosystem extends to San Francisco and the silicon valley, and there are powers of caste oppression right here at home. So tonight, i hope youll join me in affirming San Francisco as a welcoming city. Thank you to the many people who worked with us on this, and thank you to my constituents from the sunset for bringing this issue to my attention. And thank you to the organizations working nationally, including alliance of south asians taking action, alliance for justice and accountability, Indian American muslim council, and council on American Islamic relations. And finally, thank you to my cosponsors. Thank you. President yee supervisor haney . Supervisor haney i was just making sure i was a cosponsors. Thank you to everybody who called in. President yee supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin thank you, president yee. [speaking urdu language] supervisor peskin im a cosponsor reticent to assume the role of a member of congress, but i agree that there is virulent racism that is happening in the nation state of india. I join it, but i caution my colleagues that we are not members of congress, but there are members of our community who have brought a righteous thing to us, but we should proceed with matters like this very, very carefully. [speaking urdu language] president yee okay. Roll call, please. Clerk on item 47 [roll call] clerk there are 11 ayes. President yee okay. This resolution passes is adopted. Madam clerk, item number 50. Clerk item 50 is a motion modifying the amount of time required under rule 2. 22. 6 and 2. 22. 7. President yee okay. I will make a motion to table this item since we did not feel it necessary to have a special meeting in a short time on friday at the budget committee, so can i have a second on this . Supervisor safai second. President yee okay. Motion to table, roll call, please. Clerk on the motion to table item 50 [roll call] clerk there are 11 ayes. President yee all right. Motion to table is passed. Madam clerk, 51, was it you that actually severed it . Clerk yes, mr. President. President yee and if it is you, is that something that youre allowed to do . Im just curious. Ive never heard you do this. Clerk yes, mr. President. Yes. President yee okay. Go ahead. Clerk so item 51 is a motion to urge california Governor Newsom to toll the twoyear assessment peal hearing deadline. Elected officials are asking each of the 58 counties boards of supervisors to approve a similar motion. Essentially since the declared state of emergency, the San Francisco assessment peals board, our very own a. A. B. , has not resumed its hearings. If these hearings are not held, and a determination is not made within the time specified, which is a twoyear time frame from a timely filed appeal, then, the applicants opinion of the value stated in the application is concluesively determined by the appeals board is the method by which the taxes will be leveed. I will say the appeals board has almost 1,000 cases, mostly with deadlines approaching in 2021 and 2022 with an estimated value of 15. 7 billion, with a difference on the roll and the taxpayers value. Former board of supervisors malia cohen, who is already doing this work with the state and the legislature, and our very own assessor, carmen chu, we are asking for this motion that would allow for the tolling of the twoyear deadline in our office for the assessment appeals board. Even if the governor grants this tolling, it is our intent to begin hearing these cases as soon as is possible so that we can have these cases scheduled and have the hearings scheduled in an orderly fashion. So thank you, mr. President , for being our sponsor, and were asking for your support to the members. President yee okay. Roll call supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin no, i think the clerk just sum vismad that perfectly well. And who has replaced mr. Moran, which, colleagues, a function of our board that we delegated to an appeal board . Who is replaced miss doran . Clerk his name is mr. Allister gibson. He came from the ranks and is willing and happy to talk to any member of the board to get a sense of where were at in these appeals so that we can get them all scheduled. I believe there are only members made up to be on two of those boards as their several vacancy notices that are moving through the rules committee to fill the third board. Supervisor peskin so madam clerk, relative to vacancies, how many do we have, and is that on the complex board or the simple board . Clerk so supervisor peskin, its my understanding that i believe its board what im going to do is im not going to surmise what the answer is. I cant recall, so i would prefer to send you an email. Supervisor peskin if you could send that to all of us and the public, id appreciate that. Clerk happy to. Thatll help us get our vacancies moving through the committee. Once we get more applicants to apply for those positions. Supervisor peskin and madam clerk, relative to the back lag of what you said was about 1,000 cases, because theres always been a structural backlog, how much has that been increased by covid19 . Clerk so, supervisor peskin, we have actually caught up with the backlog, im happy to say, from the downturn of 2008, so im really proud about that. Essentially, we are in an appeal season right now. We opened up in july, and we will close september 15. So in addition to covid19, and in addition to it being the current Filing Season for appeals, we are we are afraid that we will experience a similar backlog once the appeals schedule closes and we receive the appeals from the taxpayers in the current year. Supervisor peskin and relative to the statute, the time for appeal is how long . Clerk twoyear twoyear two years from the timely filing of an appeal to the decision being made on the appeal itself. Supervisor peskin thank you, madam clerk. Clerk youre welcome, supervisor peskin. President yee were voting to have it two years and 150 days. Roll call. Clerk on item 51 [roll call] clerk there are 11 ayes. President yee okay. So the motion is approved unanimously. And that leads us to imperative items. Do we have any . Clerk not that im aware of, mr. President. President yee okay. Read the in memory memoriams. Clerk on behalf of the former colleague and lejs laytive aid rob eschleon, and on a motion made by president yee and approved by the entire board of supervisors, for a 30year career in congress, congressman john lewis. President yee all right. Madam clerk, that brings us to the end of the agenda. Clerk do we have any further business before us today . Clerk there is no further business before the board today. President yee all right. Meeting adjourned. Shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of San Francisco.

Thank you operations for allowing the individual to come through with his public testimony. Is the speaker on the line . hi, yes. welcome. Please proceed. im a disability advocate and community organizer. This weekend is the 30th n versh anniversary of the americans with disabilitys act. July is disability pride month and for many of us this is a great time of celebration. I would be amiss and doing a disservice if i did not note the way nz which the city and governing board has neglected the seniors and disabled. Keep us from accessing businesses and sidewalks. Many of our community are stuck in a medical prison where patients are being sexually a abused to the point of multiple lawsuits being filed against the city repeatedly. To get a wheelchair takes on average three to four years and has to be reported by those of us with disabilities who are already struggling to get by. The Human Rights Commission are deeply under funded and under staffed. During the covid 19 pandemic, the city hall has been cancelled out right. Access has been very difficult. Some departments are making zoom and video option available sto give Public Comment. I believe in desegregation in community. We are very much separated from our peers and people we love most. We desire to live in the way they envisioned. I hope that this board can take these concerns into account and support the seniors and disabled community. thank you for your comments. okay. I probably should have done this first before the speaker. But ill take this opportunity if somebody can mute their mics. Whenever is hammering with construction work.
