Thank you for your comments. Next caller, please. Good afternoon, thank you for your time and attention and leadership. I hope you and your families are safe and healthy. The testimony from Business Owners made my heart race. I am judy, on the board of directors. My comments are a bit of blast from the past. I grew up from San Franciscos japan town back in the designated western addition. Mom and pop world war ii. My parents saved and borrowed money. They decided to retire and pass the business to my parents. My parents started. Redevelopment demolished. The Small Businesses provided for all of our needs from doctors to dentists, shoe repairs, barbers, bookshops and so much more. Mom and dads restaurant had celebrities. I slept to the jazz greats. Willie mays hung out. It was a Small Business on special flavor, friendliness and character. Back in the days Small Businesses and the people who loved community had a community that wases diverse. Their hard work continued to value small Business Owners because corporations and big money did not have the heart of the community. We support and rescue Small Businesses, communities that may being San Francisco unique and amazing place to live and visit. Thank you so much. Thank you for sharing. Next caller, please. I dont have anything to say on the legislation, i would like to comment on the amendment. I understand that the amendments are not substantial. It would have been better practice to have the amendment known to the general public before opening Public Comment so that the publico have been aware of the content of the amendment and commented on them should they so choose. That would allow for better transparency. Thank you. If the speaker wishes to identify whoever the speaker is, i am happy to speak to them. They are non substantive. I am happy to reiterate that section 37c points to we are making it more clear, although it is abundantly clear in said section this law applies to subtenants. In addition to that on page 6 i would insert the language that gives the proviso that payments made prior to the forbearance period cover commercial tenants in the first three tiers shall be applied to rents that come due during the forbearance period and unpaid rents that came due during the moratorium period, which is also clarification. They are truly nonsub tantive, was not worth talking about. The substantive amendments i will address later today. Thank you for that point. If the speaker wishes to identify herself, i am happy to hear it. I believe there is one more speaker left in the list. Next speaker, please. Yes, good afternoon. I am a Small Business owner in chinatown speaking on behalf of the president of the Chinese Chamber of commerce. Thank you for your leadership. Chinatown is a cultural icon. An important history of San Francisco. It faced many difficult challenges and continues to be the oldest and most vibrant chinatown in the United States because of Small Businesses and the people who live there. The livelihood of chinatown. They are also the residents of chinatown to make a living. The financial pressure caused by covid19 gives them an opportunity to make a living. Rent relief is crucial to chinatown Small Business. Continue chinatown. The Chinese Chamber committee is to put th. [indiscernable] thank you for your time. Thank you. Mr. Clerk, any other speakers in the queue . We have reached the end of the queue. I hear there are no further callers. Public comment is closed. I would like to thank everybody who called in to comment on this legislation, particularly those who called in t to support this legislation, those had had comments about potential amendments to the legislation, particularly that comment with regard to historic landmarks as well as those who called in to oppose this legislation. I want to thank everybody who has emailed the board. The overwhelming. I dont think i have seen any emails against it. We have huge petitions for it. I want to thank api legal outreach, mr. Taylor, ms. Matsuda for advocacy on behalf of the numerous tenants who are really struggling to make it through this pandemic. I particularly want to thank the cosponsors. I mentioned my colleagues on this panel. That is chair preston and vice chair safai and supervisors wall ton and mar. We dont have a new board president yet. As i mentioned to the second before last Public Commenter, i alluded to a number of amendments that i wanted to make which i just described on pages 3 and 4 and 37c. 2 which is actually definition section of the ordinance. I think it has been included and this may beings it more clear that sub tent would ensure sub lessees are separately eligible for protections under the legislation and relatively the to repayment of deferred rent. I described that on page 6. On page 7 striking the language that gives which would be a a rules and regulations for Financial Hardship of landlords for said waiver. On page 8 non substantive language to provide nothing shall provide legal or equitable defenses arising out of unpaid rent. I believe that language and thank you vice chair preston for asking that last week. I would like to move those amendments before duplicating the style and colleagues you are in receipt of that language and then i would like to make one substantive amendment to the duplicated file and send the first file to the full board with recommendations. Why dont we start. If there are any comments from colleagues, the floor is yours. I see supervisor preston nodding his head. He might want to say something, mr. Vicechairman. No. I am sorry. We dont have a new board president yet. Vice chair safai. I appreciate all of the amendments you made today. This is important and timely. The only thing i heard over the time, and we talked about this when we did our Eviction Moratorium for tenants. We certainly would never want to take away or disincentivize people from paying rent. This doesnt absolve people from the rent burden or the psychological and humane perspective of not wanting to be in debt. The incentive is that people want to pay rent and do right. These are people mainly mom and pop businesses as you so eloquently outlined. Most of these are few member run operations. I just think it is an important piece of legislation. Also hopeful. I mean we passed legislation to create a fun for tenants mainly living in an partment buildings. There will be stimulus money and this will help with new president in the white house to recover and move the businesses back on track. I appreciate the timeliness of this. Thanks. I apologize. It is that supervisor preston is the chief cosponsor of this legislation. Member preston. Yes, thank you for the inadvertent promotion. Temporary as it was there. You know, i want to thank you, chair. I wont repeat myself. For your leadership we have your staff that has worked on this. This is not simple to figure out how to within the law protect Small Businesses at a time when we had the data that you have set forth just around this unprecedented loss of revenue and business closures. I think this ordinance as amended does that. I appreciate all of your work and leadership on that. I also want to thank and you mentioned some of these folks. So the public understands the role that you have mentioned taylor, diane and jackson, the role they have played in not only fighting to preserve business business in japantown and across the city but leading the fight in San Francisco for all Small Businesses. Being in Constant Contact with my office, chair peskins office and other of my colleagues offices but also advocating for the original commercial moratorium for extension at state level that chair peskin led efforts on and we were proud to support. The drivers, same list of folks who we have been thanking were at the forefront of fighting for the extension at the state level so we have the authorization to do this ordinance and for the advocacy for the ordinance and making sure that we got it right. Obviously, japantown is in my district, absolutely essential and i will do everything in my power with the advocates to make sure we are not losing businesses that are the heart and soul of japan town and district five but this ordinance is a key part of saving these businesses. For the commercial landlord i spoke to last week. Everyone is going to take a hit. Everyone has taken a hit in this pandemic. Small businesses are losing venue. Commercial landlords have to accept less than 100 of rent. The key is to figure out ways if they take a hit all folks emerge okay in the long run and businesses dont have to close and folks can continue to thrive in the city. I am proud to be a cosponsor and appreciate your work, chair peskin on putting together such a strong ordinance. Thank you. I think you just summed it up perfectly in addition to acknowledging everybody who has been important. My staff, in hepner, taylor, met soda, low. This is one of the million pieces were it not for the governors extension to marc march 31st we would be in a different position. We are all in it together. We are all going to have to share the pain. By the way, this wases all originally model from the legislation you did on the residential side and made us all realize the commercial side and what that means for employment in San Francisco. With that i would like to make a motion to move the an for the py distributed amendments. Mr. Clerk on that motion a roll call, please. Motion to amend is offered by chair peskin. Vice chair safai.

Agenda 2 resolution to codify and implement proactive approach for reducing posted citied limits under existing authority and implement coordinated traffic signal timing to reduce vehicle speeds. Three is resolution calling for citywide commitment to vision zero and urging mayor department of Public Health and vision zero Partner Agencies to advance the Action Strategy to end traffic fatalities by 2024 through a bold and strategic approach to improve street conditions and ad vance longer term policies for safer streets. Members who wish to comment on these two resolutions is should call the number now. 4156550001. [please stand by] president yee thank you, chair peskin. He has been a partner with me from the time we passed the resolution when he first came in and as a supervisor, and in making sure that the at the transportation you know, i just want to say the state of our streets has been in crisis for some time now. While we have been pushing for vision zero since 2015, we are now slowly making progress. This year, we have seen close to 20 fatalities already, which is roughly the average of the past five years. The original goal was to end traffic deaths by 2024, and we have to think differently about how we are going to get to zero by then. On sunday, San Francisco will be joining the world Remembrance Day for traffic victims. It marks 25 years for the global anniversary, and locally, this will mark the sixth year that weve actually recognized it. Behind stats our lives are forever changed. They are somebodys child, wife, mother, father, grandparent. Someone is feeling pain and loss. I almost lost my life walking the streets of San Francisco, so this is an issue very personal to me. This year, walk sf for families and safe streets will sponsor an exhibit to commemorate all those lives we have lost. A few weeks ago, i heard a board of supervisors meeting discuss vision zero and saying that they needed to have a paradigm shift, and i could not agree more. Today, i want to give to the m. T. A. An effort to present on their shifts in Action Strategies on vision zero. The first resolution calls on us to do everything, Everything Possible to reduce speeding within the city. I know we have an unfinished fight at the state legislature to completely overhaul how to determine speed limits, but in the meantime, we need to be using everything to do what is possible around Senior Centers, around even Child Care Centers or engineering the slow cars to slow cars down near dangerous crosswalks. The second is calling on San Francisco to recommit to vision zero by evolving our approach and proposing some further ideas to get things done. The supervisors are often the first to hear about the state of the streets, even when the authority does not fall on us. Over the years, it has been such a slow process to see improvements in our neighborhoods. I used to have to fight to get anything done for a stop sign, strengthening, anything. I was always met with excuses and resistance in departments. This has started to change, but it really shows that we are not working collectively in a solutionsoriented approach. I hope with effort we can change and transform how we do thi things. Id like to thank supervisors mar, haney, and mandelman and now peskin for their sponsorship. And i want to thank sfmta vision zero 2 for helping us in this next days of the work. Next, id like to thank walk safe sf, family safe streets for their endless hours of advocacy. I think one Public Commenter, a board member i think one Public Commenter, a board member of walk sf, dr. Olivia gamboa, said it best. Up to now, the city has been treating walking as an asset gone, whereas people being able to walk safely through their city is vital to the essential, economic, and vital health of san franciscans. Everyone walks. This is not about special interest, this is about building a city around human beings. We all need safer streets, and it is a moral confimperative fs to get this done right. Now id like sfmta to make their presentation. Sfmta also has other team members on the line if there are other questions. Ryan, are you there . Chair peskin and mr. President , a couple of things. One is before we turn it over to miss reeves, i know that all of the members of the board are going to follow in your footsteps and continue to champion these policy matters, and i look forward to being at the top of that list. It is time for us literally to take our foot off of the gas in our cars but not off of the food, and got to keep our pedal to the metal on this issue. So were going to redouble our efforts and sincere reappreciate your leadership. Before we turn it over to mr. Reeves, i think one of the keys here is automated Speed Enforcement, and i hope that the sfpoa will aid us in our efforts to get that passed in the coming legislative session. I am hopeful that Assembly Member david chiu, whos championed this two weeks, will be bringing that back, whether its a wider bill or a only bay area bill, i think this is a huge part of the solution, and i want to thank you for your leadership. Mr. Reeves . President yee miss reeves . Chair peskin im sorry. Miss reeves . Yeah. Let me just pull up my slide here. Okay. Just confirming you can see my slides here. Chair peskin yes. So as you know, vision zero was adopted in San Francisco in 2014 as a ski wide commitment to eliminate all traffic fatalities and reduce severe injuries. The concept of vision zero is built on a safe systems approach, and it moves away from the idea that traffic deaths are inevitable and instead looks to design a system that prevents crashes and mistakes will happen, but no one should die from them. All work in San Francisco [inaudible] our work in San Francisco advanced the same system Social Security approach, and we work with our colleagues at the fire department, Police Department, and other areas across thes
