A. , we have a member of the public ready to make Public Comment, thanks to the efforts of mr. Wilson ng, we have something ready to make Public Comment. President yee just a reminder if youre not speaking to mute your microphone. And madam clerk, we have a member of the public who wishes to provide Public Comment. We will open Public Comment at this time for that individual. Madam clerk, is the person ready to make the comments . Clerk yes, i believe so. Mr. Qu, please unmute the caller. Thank you. Hi. My name is zach karnazes. I want to thank Angela Calvillo for the work that shes been doing for me to be able to access these meetings. Mr. Wilson ng has repeatedly ignored emails and requests and things that i have mentioned for accessibility that i have tried to access for this meeting, including now a 15minute precallin time. The Mayors Office for disability nor this board has not required such a time to call in for a disability accommodation. Mr. Ng tries to continue to make this as soon as possible. In the past, he requires multiple emails confirmations to allow this accommodation to be made. He continues to refuse to allow this approval on a rolling basis. Mr. Wilson ng is a very problematic a. D. A. Coordinator, and i want his name reflected in the meeting minutes. Please list his name to accurately reflect his name so that i can state the problem. He is not making this easy, he is not doing this out of the goodness of his heart. There are a. D. A. Laws to allow equal efforts to allow people like me able to make Public Comment. Please consider a callin catch system on your website so that other disabled people will know how to attend. Thank you. President yee okay. Thank you, caller. And madam clerk, thanks for arranging this accommodation. Before we get started, i wanted to mention something about the adoption without committee reference. Ive been remindied that this section was for noncontroversial items and things of that nature, and i think over the last six months or five months, things have happened where we needed to use any time we were given to address emergency issues and so forth, and that continued for a little while, where we needed to act quickly. And we probably settled into a pace of some sort, but then, many of us were involved with other things, whether its getting things on the ballot measure, and more focused on that, and we were also focused on the budget process, where a lot of us were focused on managing things that we didnt want to manage. I think since were in the middle of covid19, we should go back to what this part of the meeting for, and that im asking all of us to think about what you need to pass moving forwa forward; instead of waiting last minute, to think these things out. We will not have a meeting next week, so all of us should be able to do a better job in this. And moving forward, now that weve settled in the space, i would go back to my decisions and if theres a movement to put these on the items without committee reference, its up to you to manage these and so forth. So ill just leave it at that. I think its time to move forward, and hopefully, we dont have to go through another streak of where we have to make lastminute decisions, knowing what were facing for probably another six months to a year.

Supervisor mar, you are first up to introduce new business. Supervisor mar submit. Clerk thank you, supervisor mar. Supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin my apologies. I am off of mute. I will keep my roll call focus to one item and to [inaudible] and i dont think there are any members of this board around 15 years ago when a longrunning lawsuit was resolved actually by the California State Supreme Court which led my vote of the San Francisco tenant and Housing Alliance to adopt a chapter of the code, 49a, which is known as the residential Tenant Communications act, which codified the right of tenants to distribute literature relating to common interest of tenants. In other words, a Tenant Organization could go and put a leaflet under the door or in the mailboxes in the United StatesPostal Service mailboxes, but that was before donald trump [inaudible] ive come to learn that its [inaudible] fundamentally, the tenants had already organized. This is about the right and admonition and encouragement for tenants. Im not saying this relative to acts with organizations like the tenants union, but at the pointants of particular ideologies to organize nice but tenants of particular ideologies to organize. Id like to take that a step further, giving these tenants of ideologies to have a seat at the table not only to disseminating literature but the right to cause and concern. The right to organize largely emanates not only from my work but my communitys work and organizations work, namely, the veritas organization. The organization has about 3 billion, with a b, dollars in assets. As Speaker Pelosi reminded us all, received a 3. 5 actually 3. 6 million Small Business loan from the federal government, and the tenants furnished a list of demands not only to help those Small Businesses but to stabilize the tenants who are in so much pressure, and the partnership between these tenants and Small Business groups, including the council of district merchants has been, i think, tremendously important. At the core of that [inaudible] demand. Tenants have asked to meet directly with veritas investments, to have a mediate discussion, which albeit, ill admit that i am biased in favor of the tenants, but i think i could have been a fair mediator had i been offered to mediate. Today, i am asking the City Attorney to start drafting changes to chapter 49a to expand communication to the fundamental right to organize in those building typologies, and i hope not to draft something controversial between tenants and landlords, but hopefully not only earns the support of all of my colleagues on the board of supervisors but from the tenant and landlord communities. Sadly, i would like to, madam clerk, adjourn this Board Meeting in the memory of two individuals. First, and i think we all heard about this muni operators, tony cahini, who was with the sfmta just a little bit shy of 20 years, 19 years. Antonio was born and raised in the richmond, and as a youth, he delivered newspapers for the chronicle back when we had papers in print. He served for four years in the army before becoming a pastry chef at Marriott Hotel near San Francisco international airport, and ultimately became a muni operator and had a medical emergency and died at the wheels of his bus last week. Our condolences to his family and to his brothers and sisters at t. W. U. Local 258. And i note that his brotherinlaw, ray, who i knew as a cable car operator, tragically lost his life when he stepped off a cable car and was run over by a motorcycle, so we have lost two muni operators from the same family. It is a stressful job that is remarkably dangerous. So to that family, extended family, on behalf of the board of supervisors, my condolences. And lastly, and i think only clerk calvillo will remember mary burns, who truly lived a life of service. Maybe president yee remembers mary burns. [inaudible]. Supervisor peskin exactly. Thank you, mr. President. After graduating from the institution that my father taught at for 40 years, San Francisco state, mary began volunteering in political campaigns for notables. One of them extant, milton marks, and, in 1967, got a position in the California State Assembly with later on mayor willie louis brown, jr. When he was a member of the assembly. She followed in that role with george moscone, and ultimately continued to serve under dianne feinstein. And as a teenager, mary had a fundamental San Francisco experience. She served as a lifeguard and playground director at the recreation and parks department, where she ultimately became, i believe, the first woman to run that department before she got into a little fandango with her former employer, willie brown, who may or may not have let her go. But she continued that serve f for service for a number of other bear institutions. But an incredible loss. She played a huge part in fact golden gate master plan, and so many other things we take for granted. She is predeceased by her mother and father, her uncle, aunt, grandparents [inaudible] and she is survived by her sister of oakdale, california. Our condolences to the family of miss burns, and the rest, i will submit, madam clerk. President yee before we move onto the other colleagues, i would like to suggest that the in memoriams of both persons be from the entire board. Supervisor peskin thank you, mr. President. Clerk thank you, supervisor peculiar kin. Supervisor preston . Presley thank you, madam cle supervisor preston thank you, madam clerk. Colleagues, i know that housing issuing are very important to you, and thats why im moving to have the week of september 15 through 22 declared National Housing week in San Francisco. Our city is a National Leader in the Housing Movement with nearly five decades of committed work by city and county government leaders. And San Francisco continues to innovate and push the boundaries in advancing Affordable Housing to address the tremendous needs of lowincome folks and people who are unhoused and insufficiently housed and also to address the everwidening ranks of every day san franciscans shut out of the private Housing Market as we struggle to survive in our prohibitively expensive city. Theres a lot more to do, but i appreciate the members for their advocacy on this board in their efforts to do more to make San Francisco a more inclusive and equitable city. And every year, we take a brief moment to pause and take stock and be inspired and push forward. This year, as with many aspects of our lives, things are a bit different. Affordable housing week was originally scheduled in may. It was supposed to be in early may and has been moved to september. Its also going to be scaled back a bit this year. There were originally going to be ten events planned this year. Its going to be shifted to a virtual setting with fewer offerings. That said, i think we need to keep this at the forefront as there is no chance for pause in the conversation about housing in San Francisco. Weve got on tuesday, september 15, a state Senate Housing forum that will be from 5 00 to 6 30 in the evening. On wednesday, september 16, theres a Panel Discussion of housing in the time of covid Affordable Housing in the time of covid19. Thats from 11 00 to 12 30 and then, on wednesday, september 22, theres a program on the h. O. P. E. Program, and thats from 5 00 to 6 30 p. M. Lots more on the community organizati coalition for housing organization. Last week, myself and president yee called on a hearing for efforts to maximize Affordable Housing on Public Housing sites. That has been scheduled to coincide with Public Housing week, and that will be presented in the rules committee on september 21. Lastly, id like to thank fernando and peter for organizing this event. Peter and fernando do tremendous work to advance Affordable Housing in this city and beyond, and they are in many ways the unsung heros of the affordable Housing Movement. So i know i speak for my colleagues in conveying our sincere gratitude to the Community Housing coalition and those who work so hard for Affordable Housing opportunities in our city. The rest i submit. Clerk thank you. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor ronen . Supervisor ronen submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor safai . Supervisor safai submit. Clerk thank you. Supervisor stefani . Submit . Thank you. Supervisor walton . Supervisor walton thank you so much, madam clerk. Colleagues, today, i am introducing four resolutions arou
