Physics of Climate Change require it. So it is better to do that today when it is less complicate and expensive. Therefore i ask you to make exemptions to the ordinance. The past legislation without the ultimate steps of reducing the cost. Thank you for your comment. Next speaker please. Caller i live in supervisor peskins district 3. I support passing the strongest version of this ordinance. Amidst the backdrop of a Global Climate emergency i want to point out the committee only discussed the weaknesses and im asking the committee to respect the publics intelligence by affording us a modicum of debate and ask with the financial feasibility and industrial and laboratories are exempt. Please discuss on the part the developers can squeeze out of the requirement without much effort. I hope youll address this at the committee meeting. Thank you very much. Thank you for your comment. Next speaker, please. Caller rolled up our sleeves and sat back and listened and learn. We learned a lot about new technologies and new ways of implementing with other technologies. For most projects it seems to work. We see 2,000 to 3,000 per unit but theres one subsector that has an unprecedented hardship and for most projects the costs would be 2,000 to 3,000 per unit. For that small subset, this is a subset that clearly does not require a transformer. Once you go all electric you now require a transformer at a cost of 150,000 to 200,000. Going all electric just creates for this very small subsector creates a tremendous financial burden. Its important that we look at this because we have to do this in a way thats fair and equitable to all housing. If this has a price of 2 2,000 r 3,000 but its 28,000 to me thats a huge difference. Keep in mind if, your project manage to qualify for this exception, you still have to put the infrastructure. If cost is in the infrastructure you will not have to remodel walls or units or sheetrock. Thank you for your comment. Next speaker, please. Youll be notified your line has been unmuted and youll be given two minutes to speak. Caller id like to remark that there was a history where the environment has been iffy and covid19 came and then we made it mandatory then we were creating too much waste, i dont know. I feel something where its not so easy what theyre not saying dont use natural gas and the other commender that if youre going to require records used if thats disadvantages we dont know about. I feel and i think of the intention to reduce emissions but i dont know that its necessarily the best idea. Thank you for your comment. Next speaker, please. Caller im a resident of district 10, jody henn. Thank you for your leader through this process. I strongly support inhibiting gas and i want it passed in the strongest possible form. In particular id like to see the feasibility exceptions for developers eliminated. Also, as complicated as the whole process is on passing the ordinance has been, this is the easy one from electronically retrofitted existing buildings with a more lengthy challenge. This makes it important to me to establish that clean Energy Building for now and for the future. Thank you supervisor mandelman for today and i suggest a hub establishment be a recommendation in the ordinance and also i wonder whether the department of the environment actually could fund such a thing as what they fund is limited to. And if it was a hub it would be onestopshop for Vital Information and access to resources. It would maximize opportunities and eliminate barriers to all electric construction and would obviously be crucial in the future for existing building electrification because this is the easy one. Its important to reaching our goals of eliminating emissions from buildings. Thank you. Caller we support new construction and also a d. A. Constituent. Thank you for supporting the item. And its important for the climate and health and safety of our residents. Please a [audio digitizing] and we received improvements for the ordinance. The public doesnt have the option to pick up the phone and ask for changes but the supervisor spent the best part of a career crafting this and we have to show up to meetings to let your voices be heard. We cant take a break from taking care of our loved ones and if we dont solve the Climate Crisis and improve air quality nothing else matter. All the help you give to restaurants doesnt matter if there cant be Outdoor Dining because of air pollution. For the sake of us and our future we have to continue to put forth the commissions name supporting the clean building amendment and preventing financial considerations from being considered. Next speaker, please. Caller i agree with a lot of the comments made for from folks like daniel and chris. I want to highlight another couple Important Reasons we need to pass this gas ban. Right now the California Energy commissions is considering the next iteration of title 24 which is the minimum building standard in california. We know that the California Energy commission has been looking for cities to provide a lierdship role in what is possible. Its being decided now and San Francisco adopting this will send a signal to the country that electric technology is here and needs to be adopted in new construction and i would like to echo a point made earlier and say i support this ordinance moving forward quickly and think the board of supervisors should also think about a Just Transition moving forward to ensure that the workers who may be impacted by this ordinance have a glide path. Thank you so much. Caller i live in district 3. Im here to support this ordinance. I like the attention youre putting in to this but urge you to more foquickly. Theres studies that show the construction is economically feasible and less expensive. And we need to stop continuing to further fix the status quo things when were experiencing extreme heat waves and wild fires. And were in a transition period. Another public speaker said before with plastic bag bans and other ordinances that have passed and we cannot wait and again this is for new construction when were talking about existing building. That conversation needs to be much longer and much more simple but right now were talking about new construction and this conversation is taking more than a year what is the next conversation going to look like . Again, i encourage this to pass without loopholes. Thank you, next speaker, please. Youll be notified your line has been unmuted and you may begin your comment. Caller i reside in district 2. My name is mark. I can only second all the things said. Weve been living here since 1997 and we enjoy San Francisco the way it is and in california the way its been until the last year. The Climate Emergency is upon us and we dont have time to wait. I hope youll move forward on this. This isnt a matter of should be, its when will we . We must look to something cleaner. It puts too much pollution in the area and explodes often in the streets. We have to cut back as much as possible. Im a homeowner in San Francisco and i have an old victorian and buildings are always going through renovations and being upgraded. It should come at no surprise the next should be all electric. Not new construction but new construction just based on that basis. In 25 years it will have to be remodelled anyway. Lets make sure we get the infrastructure in there for an allelectric power supply here in the city. I would urge the supervisors to move quickly on this, quickly, quickly. Give it to the board and implement it so we can start to get out from under this Climate Crisis. Thank you very much. Thank you. Looks like we have two callers left in the queue. Youll be notified your line has been unmuted. You need to give your comments. Caller im in direct direct district 5. I know this has been tough and you want to get it right but im calling to urge to you pass this we dont have time to wait. If you want to live in San Francisco, were going to start to redo a lot of infrastructure and the first step is by making buildings carbon neutral. As far as strengthening and id like supervisors to close the financial feasibility loophole. I heard it expressed natural gas is going away so if we dont allow buildings to be mixed use were putting off costs for the buildings as theyre going to have to take on higher costs in maintaining the gas lines as well as doing the ret refit in the future. I hope you pass this soon and make it a strong as possible. Thank you. We have can you caller left. Caller im calling to support the ordinance. Im concerned and this can go a long way in cutting our emissions. 30 come from burning natural gas. Transition element to impacted workers will nhelp in social justice and to other entities. I want to make sure everyone has what they have to navigate new construction and i hope you move forward with passing the ordinance quickly and without loopholes. Thank you, supervisors for protecting our climate. Thank you. Thank you. Commissioner ill hand it back to supervisor mandelman if he has any remarks we wants to make. I know well continue this item but if you have any additional remarks you have to make before we move to the next item . I commissioner i just want to thank the Committee Members and the feedback im getting is on restaurants theres an interest in adding a waiver provision so well come back next time with the legacy business and the waiver process in and tighten up the discussion on feasibility and be clear and we can bring that amendment next time for your consideration as well. Commissioner he needed more information on what housing would be impacted. I think he wanted more conversation and i think we all agree on that. Maybe at the next meeting we can ask someone from the office of economic workforce development. And why dont we wait for the chair to be part of that conversation. And im sadly hearing this is not something the committee is interested in pursuing. Well let that go. Commissioner okay. And i just have one of callers called in and they talked about the transformer issue. Are you aware of that and have you been in that conversation . I understand some perspective of once you changed the overall capacity of a project and usually its based on overall size of the project. It has an impact in terms of what it would mean going in having a fullblown transformer. Do you want to talk about that before we move on. I know the issue was extensively submitted but i should probably check in with my staff before. Commissioner okay. Well come back with that as well. Thats an important note. I think once you change the overall eli elick electricald and could require change in infrastructure and when youre at that threshold youre changing from having to have one and not having to have one. I think the conversation about that would be helpful. [please stand by] i know youve made sure that exceptions to your ordinance do not swallow up the rule for any category of folks seeking them. So i just will be interested, and i know you will work on figuring out how to make sure if theres a waiver process its limit inside scope so i just wanted to put that out there since you are taking it that concern for everyone. Well come back with the narrowest exemption that seems to address the concerns that weve heard. Thank you. Lets make a motion to continue this item. To the 19th . To the 19th, yes. Im fine with that. So, madam clerk. Clerk on the motion to continue this matter to october 19th, supervisor peskin. Aye. Supervisor safai. Aye. Supervisor peskin. Absent. You have two ayes. Can we make a motion to excuse supervisor peskin, madam clerk . Clerk absolutely. On the motion to ex excuse supervisor peskin, supervisor peskin. Aye. Supervisor safai. Aye. You have two ayes. Thank you, supervisors. Thank you. Keep up the good work. Roll up those sleeves thank you, madam clerk. Please call the next item. Clerk yes, item number 3 is an ordinance administrative code to limit residential evictions through march 31st, 2020 unless the eviction is based on the nonpayment of rent or is necessary due to violence related issues or heat health ad safety issues. Members of the public should call the number on the screen thats 415 6550001 and the immediating i. D. Is 146 765 3310. Press pound and pound again. If you have not done so already press star 3 to lineup for item number 3. A system prompt will indicate if you have raised your hand. Supervisor peskin. Thank you, chair safai and before us today is ordinance that seeks to no quality conviction throughs march 31st. The underline premise of this ordinance is simple and similar to to make sure no one loses their home during the pandemic. Through mayoral order and ordinance of the board, this city has kept up and provide critical protections for renters who have lost income and are unable to pay their rent due to covid19 and recently the state enacted Assembly Member chiu building ab3088 that provides additional framework to regulate nonpayment of rents through the beginning of next year. Ab3088 is non statement evictions and the state makes clear in that bill and Assembly Member chiu has confirmed the intent the state is not trying to preempt to limit or to alter local legislation for other types of evictions. And in fact, the state law has provisions making clear that cities remain free to pursue stronger protections for other types of evictions the legislation before us today intends to provide additional protections for socalled no faultnofault evictions. Owner move in, demolition, Capital Improvement evictions. Now these evictions are prohibited currently by mayor breeds 12th supplemental orders and they started in april it was renewed on a monthbymonth basis and the 12th supplemental stated no faulty conviction ideas prohibit and the protections last today months after the expiration of the date of that order. The monthly renewals of that order ended at the end of september and then the protections are currently set to expire at the end of november. The time has come for us to remove the monthly uncertainty for tenants during this pandemic. Were in a prolonged crisis. I think we all know that. And eviction must continue to be off the table. So this legislation vehicle to extend these protections, not on a onemonth basis as the extension for the mayoral order have been but instead to extend these through march 2021 to really replace our current monthtomonth approach to give more security to tenants. We believe this is essential. We have heard reports from councilors and eviction attorneys despite the protections in place, some landlords are take advantage of legal ambiguous to pressure tenants out of their homes. This will help clarity for tenants and landlords that accepting cases where theres a threat of violence or health and safety danger, evictions are prohibited and people must be allowed to stay in their homes during the on going pandemic. And i just want to reiterate that this is not a radical departure from current policy. This is extending the protections that have been provided by mayor order and were unanimously approved by the board of supervisors. Also for the purposes of providing further clarity i have an amendment thats been circulated on page 3 lines five through nine. I propose to add the following subsections, subsection 3 that will read this section 37. 9 is intended to limit evictions until march 31, 2021 and shall apply to all residential dwelling units described in subsections 1 and 2 including but not limited to those where a notice to vacate or quit was pending as of the date that this section 37. 9 took effect and regardless whether the notice was served before or after september 15th, 2020. This amendment clarifies that the ordinance applies to the no fault prohibition to notice issued as of the date of introduction of the ordinance which was september 15th and the purpose is to remove any ab tee as to the law hes application and noticed issued after the expiration of the mayors order but before enactment of this ordinance shouldnt passed. The City Attorneys Office has confirmed the amendment is non substantive in nature. So in close i just want to thank my cosponsors, supervisor peskin, ronen, haney, walton and mandelman for their early and strong support and also thank my legislative aid for all of his work on this ordinance. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor. Madam clerk, you want to open it up for Public Comment . Clerk yes, mr. Chair. James are there any call. Can you queue in the first caller, please. Caller hello. This is inaudible for the enabled count. We support presenting evictions and people have enough trouble going on in their lives with the pandemic so i ask you to approve it also. In the interest of time, we also support the fourth and fifth items sponsored by supervisor preston Housing Stability Fund, social housing and resolution in relief funds for small inaudible owners of reduces circumstances. Thank you, very much. Clerk thank you. Next speaker, please. You will be notified that your line has been unmuted and you may begin your comments. Caller hello. Just a minute as you say. You have two minutes. Caller tenants are very stressed as we know as they face uncertainty. Supervisor preston has said it best, evictions need to be off the table. This amendment pro voids clarity for tenants that they will not be evicted through no fault of their own for the next six months. No new policy direction here suggests here proposes to extend provisions already in place and the mayors other orders, supervisor prestons proposal puts into law an increased time period for tenants to be protected against no faulty convictions. Absolute clarity helps tenants physically and emotionally and we welcome this and thank you for your yes votes. Clerk thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Caller supervisors, loraine petty here. Senior, renter, from fill more and member of senior and disability action. I absolutely support prestons ordinance to extend the ban on no faulty convictions for another six months. As renters, we have been assaulted on all sides by crisis completely beyond our control. That is the virus, of course, economic shutdowns, misplacement, continuing racial and social unjustice and Climate Change effects including the air we cant breath and thanks to the gross inefficiencies of the state of california, we cant even get the Unemployment Insurance money were entitled to.
