And to the republic to which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. On behalf of the board, like acknowledge the staff at sfgov tv, who records each of our meetings and make these transcripts available to the public online. Madam clerk, are there any communications . Clerk mr. President , i believe you wanted me to remind you that when the mayor is present, that we begin with the mayor. Thats the communication. Before we do, that i want to make at least a simple comment. I want to in public acknowledge the work that the city, departments and the mayor under the mayors leadership, the Department Heads like rec and park, the department of children, youth and families, director maria sue, who work really hard to work with the community and put what we call the our Community Learning that started up this week and starting to roll out. I believe it helps 60, 80. I dont know remember any more. It really does take leadership and it takes teamwork to get this done. This is not something that we normally do. As you all know, this is what were faced with. We said from the beginning, we will Work Together and get things done. And this is another good example of that. Thank you very much, mayor, breed. So, madam clerk, lets go ahead and go to our special order. Clerk okay. Special order at 2 00 p. M. The appearance by the honorable mayor london n. Breed. There being no questions submitted from the representatives of districts 1, 2, 3 and 4, the mayor may address the board for up to five minutes. President yee okay. So, welcome, madam mayor, mayor breed. Mayor breed thank you. President yee topics submitted by supervisors today. We welcome you to share your remarks. So go ahead. Mayor breed thank you, president yee. And i truly really appreciate your partnership, especially on the Economic Recovery Task force, which you know that well be releasing a report on the work that you all did in october and im really excited about that. Thank you for having me here today. Today i really want to talk about specifically Small Businesses, because its been a hard six months for anyone trying to make a living in San Francisco. But especially for those in our city who keep our storefronts open. It was already very challenging even before covid. This city has not done its part for people to have Small Businesses in the city. They have endured month after month of shutdown and uncertainty, we had to pause our reopening in june, just when we thought we were moving forward. In trying to navigate, keeping their customers happy, their employees paid and their doors open. Weve tried to help when nearly 30 million in funding for paid sick leave, grants and zerointerest loans and our sharedspace program to give them more room to operate safely outdoors. But still its been hard. The good news is over the last few weeks, weve begun to move forward with a number of reopenings for our Small Businesses community. First, our Outdoor Services for personal services and gym. Now this week both are open indoors, because most of us know many of those services cannot even operate outdoors in the first place. We are until conversations with our restaurant owners, because we know that while they have been allowed to open outdoors and for takeout, thats not enough for them to survive. As federal support for Small Businesses drives up, its getting even harder for our businesses, even those that are able to open. Weve never made it easy as a city for Small Businesses to operate. But covid took it to a whole another level. Supervisors, we are lucky. We have not face the challenges these Business Owners have had to face, potentially losing everything that they built. These Business Owners didnt do anything wrong. This crisis is far outside of their control. Now one way we are able to help, we were able to help early was to put in place a commercial eviction moratorium. This prevented our Small Businesses from losing their lease if they couldnt make their rent. As you know, unlike residential leases, commercial leases are ruled by state law. And thanks to an emergency order signed get governor, the state lawing were overridden and we put in commercial evictions at the local level. If the governor does not extend it, thousands of Small Businesses could be put at risk of being evicted. We wont be able to protect them here locally any more. I know Governor Newsom cares about this issue and im hopeful he will extend it or find a way to provide repayment protection so that our Small Businesses are not put at risk. Our Small Businesses need us, our city needs this. And i know supervisor peskin is introducing a resolution today to put this board on record in support of extending the moratorium and im confident that you all share these values of protecting our small Business Owners. We dont know when covid will end, so these protections need to be extended. We cant lose sight of the need to do more. And i really want to thank supervisor fewer, supervisor peskin, and supervisor safai for some of their work early on around Small Businesses. But we have to do more. We cant just keep talking about caring about our Small Businesses and not willing to take risks and make significant policy changes, so that they dont continue to deal with the challenges of the bureaucracy, the layered fees and all of the other issues that they face. The time is now to focus on Real Solutions and thats what will be coming out of my office, which we know that some of the things that weve already done have not necessarily put a debit in the challenges that they continue to have. We have to do more and we have to do more now. Thank you for the opportunity. Clerk muted, mr. President. President yee thank you, madam mayor, for joining us today. This concludes our special order. This item shall be now filed. [gavel] thanks. Have a nice day. Thank you, madam mayor. President yee so, madam clerk, i guess you can continue with the rest of your communications. Clerk thank you.

That concludes my communication. Thank you. President yee thank you, madam clerk. Before we get started, just a friendly reminder for all of the supervisors to mute your microphones when you are not speaking to avoid audio feedback. So, madam clerk, as you mentioned, theres someone that asked for accommodations. So please have them come forward. Clerk thank you. Operations, are we ready to have the speaker make his Public Comment . Hi, my name is zach. Im a disability advocate and Community Organizer. Thank you for this disability accommodation to speak with you all today. During the past couple of weeks, weve all noticed really poisonous air. And air quality issues relating to the fires along our coast. And i think it is without a doubt very understandably our unhoused, homeless neighbors that are experiencing the worst of this crisis. While i am sheltered in my home, i cant even go outside into my garden without coughing and experiencing major respiratory problems, because of the incredibly poor air quality in our city right now. And yet it is our homeless who are facing the worst of this, because they dont have to place to shelter, they dont have a way to get away from this poisonous air. So far the board of supervisors and mayor breed have limited their access to Hotel Shelters that the governor ordered in the beginning of the covid pandemic. And have increased and continued the removal of peoples tents and equipment that they need to survive. Additionally, in the july issue of the coalition of Homeless People, there was some disturbing information presented about mayor breed making calls to the police chief about Homeless People just existing, one quote says man sleeping on bench on hayes street near go. That was mayor breed at a police chief to william scott. He replied, we are sending a team. Eight minutes after that, she said hes still here, but not sleeping. The police chief said, following up now. And theres dozens of these texts of even our mayor calling our police chief, use our taxpayer money and Police Resources to harass the homeless, who are just existing and trying to survive in our city. Supervisors, especially supervisor walton proposed the karen act to stop racially profiled 911 calls. I think its a step in the right direction. Lets please do the same. Clerk thank you. Mr. President. President yee okay. Thank you. So lets go ahead and go through our Consent Agenda. Madam clerk, can you please call thames 123 together. Clerk mr. President , were you going to take the minutes on now . President yee yes. Clerk thanks for reminding me. I can share them with you. President yee i see it now.
