These racist restrictions were on record until 1992 when myself and a few of our neighbors stood up and said we have to change it and even though there was resistance we were able to get it done. Back to dorothy. The help of their agent, they cured a loan and bought the property but when the seller realized she sold the house to a black family, she wouldnt give them the keys. So for six months6 months, the couple continue to pay rent on their plat while paying mortgage on a house they couldnt move into. After months of waiting, the adams talked to a lawyer and the couples friends used a tire iron to jimmy the side door to get in the home. So the excuse me. The family broke the barrier to get into their own home and the first neighbor welcomed them into the neighborhood and he served in the neighborhood and she held a dinner every 2 months for more than 4 decades. The adams lived on their Plymouth Avenue home. Im sorry i never had the opportunity to meet her in person. But within a week of the couple moving senior residence in san mateo. Ms. Adams died. Today i would like to remember ms. Adams. The second person who passed away in december and because of breaks and Everything Else i couldnt get this together, that is laura eli. She was born in china january 7, 1933, and second child and only daughter in her family. Her father emigrated in 1921 where he worked as a cook and later opened a restaurant. In 1949 she and her brother joined her father in San Francisco. Her mother and young brother followed suit in 1952. I didnt realize the connection but alex was a classmate of mine in school. He she had very little schooling. Thanks to a large part to pair tutoring from chinatown youth club where she met the man she eventually married and the late historian and former long life friend. Outgoing and up beat laurel enjoyed drama and good food especially when shared with friends all of whom shared her kindness generosity and she gave to Many Organizations in the community including the Chinese Society of america, Chinese Culture center, chinese for affirmative action and friends of roots. Laurel died peacefully at home on december 10, 2014. Her grace in comparable. I hope she rest in peace. The rest i will submit. Supervisor john avalos i was very surprised to hear about the clean act program and very proud to introduce the ordinance today. This ordinance describes the features of the Aggregation Program that we urge the San Francisco Public Utilities commission to designed and approve. 100 percent green gas option and light green option that meets pg es rates while providing gas free power. Customers should only be automatically enrolled in the light Green Program and they would have to opt for the 100 percent renewable program. This will ensure that no one pays more for their electricity bill unless they sign up for the 100 percent clean opposite. The San Francisco Public Utilities commission should one the program inhouse as opposed to running with a contractor outside of the program. The success of Marin Clean Energy not risky and controversial. The program that came out of clean energy also had energy provided by shell energy and now they have discarded shell. They have moved on to their own Production Program as well as power participation agreement that we had with shell energy. I know we had a program that we could have had built before us. I asked to draw a consultant report and that report showes that we can create thousands of jobs and hundreds of mega watts of clean power for San Francisco. All we need is the political will to make power sf 2. 0 a reality. I do want to raise one concern that we heard from the Mayors Office yesterday. The mayor said the report lacked a detailed plan to build a local Renewable Energy projects and create jobs in San Francisco. We all need to be clear on this point of fact. We could not make a detailed plan until we do two things. We need to set rates for cleanpowersf and we need a launch date. Without those we cant do anything. That is what stalled the cleanpowersf in 2013. The San Francisco Public Utilities commission and commission refused to set rates for cleanpowersf with a detailed plan for how it will raise jobs. We can get caught in this catch 22 again. At 30 mega watts with clean power what we had before us in 2013 would have saved 49 tons of Greenhouse Gas. If we approved that program back in august, it would have saved about 70,000 tons of Greenhouse Gas since that time. We could not wait much longer we need urgency to move as quickly as possible this year and we need the San Francisco Public Utilities commission to move forward onseting rates for cleanpowersf and set as launch date as soon as possible then well be able to make a real plan for Renewable Power projects on creating jobs and build initial efforts just as Marin Clean Energy and Contra Costa County and napa county and even sharing power with sooner or d sooner soelano county as well. I would like to thank my fellow members for their work past and presence for this program and for this ordinance my cosponsors in particular president breed, supervisor campos, kim, mar, wiener and lee for your sponsor ship and well have the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission Meeting to discuss how we can move forward on the recommendations that came from the report. The rest colleagues, i will submit. City clerk thank you supervisor avalos. President breed in supervisor london breed okay. I will try to be a brief as possible. Its been a long evening. Today i will introduce a resolution as its San Francisco Restaurant Week for creating Restaurant Week to celebrating our local restaurants. San francisco has more restaurants than any capita in our city. It creates almost 5,000 jobs and almost 5 billion in taxable sales more than any retail category in the city. Restaurant week is a great way to celebrate Small Businesses in San Francisco as well as the cultural and culinary diversity they em body. Since we are in the Restaurant Week, im introducing this as an imperative item and purely commendatory. The other thing i wanted to talk about today which im really excited about, yesterday mare mayor lee and i announced the launch cleanpowersf this year. This is a huge victory. After more than a decade of work and effort it seems we have won an unwinnable fight. Clean power is what San Francisco can do to combat Climate Change and one of my highest priorities as a supervisor. Over the last few years i was told time and time that clean power was dead an it was a pipe dream and we should give up on it and we didnt give up and protecting our climate and protecting our city from rising tides around us is important. Now long last we have permission from the Mayors Office a provide with pg e with cleaner power, competitive prices, Removal Technology and structure with 100 pers renewable options and jobs. Marin and other counties have proven this model can succeed. Yesterdays announcement was a culmination of decades of work by countless leaders like Supervisor John Avalos and supervisor eric mar, other advocates, eric brooks, hudson, kim malcolm and everyone at lafco. Im excited for this and this is truly an historic moment. Now its time to make sure this Program Launches and succeeds. The last item i have today, colleagues is ncts, you know i talked about mcds. I passed legislation creating neighborhood districts on divisadero and fillmore. Today im introducing legislation to add ncts but there are some important differences between our mcd and ncts. Ncts do not require parking. If the builder wants to build more open space, all ncds include the 5 feet height bonus for more inviting ground floors, all ncts regulate residential density through existing requirement private bulk private open space dwelling unit mix design guidelines. Ncds on the other hand use strict lot area ratios that do not have other city needs. This is what my district talks about at this Community Organization meeting. So this is what they care about. This is what they get. Ncts put limits on residential units to smaller units to prevent a loss of larger family units and ncts also require 40 percent of new development to have two or more bedrooms again in order to serve a diverse mix of households including households with children. The fillmore divisadero ncds have the requirement of nct and allow for buildings with ground floors. These ordinances will add decontrolling of density, the regulations on dwelling Unit Division and familyfriendly dwelling unit mix. This has been a long process with the community to establish these districts. We with a tonight get the ncds in place last year so we moved forward with those and now colleagues i ask for your support if further redefining them this year. The rest i submit. City clerk thank you, supervisor breed, supervisor campos requested to be referred. Supervisor david campos i want to comment on the supervisor wieners release for staffing. One suggestion that as part of that analysis we look at the departments efforts to civilianize. If there are jobs that Police Officers that can be done by civilians, i will ask that be included on the analysis because that will free up officers that could do other work on the streets. Supervisor john avalos i would like to piggy back on that as well in terms of civilianization and looking at with an its to get more officers on the streets and have them circulating in a different way. The control obviously seems to work on that part on the effort. That completes roll call for introduction. Okay, lets go to public comment. At this time the public may comment for up to two 2 minutes on the items which are not on the board. Public comment is not allowed on items on the board. Please direct your matters to the board and not a specific member. Speakers using assistance may be allowed more time. If you have to introduce documents, please introduce your item. Supervisor london breed welcome. Public speaker thank you, good evening, 6 50 director of library user and talked to you a number of times of problems of the catalog of overlay that the library wants toen install on january 14th. In the meantime i would like to say the bay area reporter on its january 15th, 21st edition privacy concerns abound common. Thats available not only at the library but at electronically e bar. Com. Im glad to say this is the first not just criticism of the privacy issues that this subjects patrons to, but also the censorship issues that occur within this as well as the exploitation of Library Patrons information and expression. I urge you to read that and ask you also to look into the fact that this was never authorized by at Library Commission nor was it authorized by the supervisors. Its a three year3year 469,000 contract and the library plans to bring it out for a socalled soft launch in february and socalled hard launch to the public in march. Again, this is trashing patron privacy that enables censorship of patron expression and exploits patron contributions with no compensation and the catalog is deceptively sold. Supervisor london breed thank you, next speaker, please. Public speaker good afternoon, my name is will ma pang founder and culture better time tomorrow. An organization to revitalize cultural and economic vibrancy of San Francisco in chinatown. An unfortunate event happened sunday. I got tagged for singing in the square. It was very very upsetting to the seniors. I was singing because they requested me to sing to the chinese president. When i started to sing this phrase of chinese opera, [singing] and the park a ranger came, stop right now. So all the seniors around me got very upset. So what happened was, so mr. Wong, the president of the chinese company, you know, say, put my things away and grabbed mr. Wongs stick and had he ran a with a. Away. He said why dont you tell them why you are name. I asked the park a ranger, she wouldnt do it. Okay, now this is my id. This is a ticket. Okay. So i got this ticket. Okay. Excuse me, would you, i would like to arrange to discuss it. Supervisor london breed supervisor crist stan son. I talked to the department and its a permitting issue. Can we talk off line. I wrote many letters. We need to solve the permit issue with recreation and parks or it will happen again. Im happy to help you. Supervisor london breed thank you, next speaker, please. Public speaker the things that are impossible with men are possible with god. Then jesus said vaerl i say under to that there is no man, with house or brethren or wife or children for kingdom of god sake shall receive in present time in the will to come life ever lasting and jesus said be hold to jerusalem and all things written by the prophets by the son of man to become a prophet to be delivered upon anden spite be treated upon and skurnld and put to death and the third day he shall rise again and when he was raised from the dead by going to the prophet and in the profits concerning me. Thus it is prison, time and time again he went to the profits he was cutoff out of the land of the living with my people was he stricken and made a wicked and rich in his death because he had done no violence. Now, jesus referred supervisors, richard decree. Eureka valley. Im not alone here tonight. People have signed my petition for having ed lee and Governor Brown call a moratorium on the destruction of candle stick. This may sound absurd but im here because the city changed the my patent and i have had to give up my dream on having a patent to solve Climate Change. I have been involved in Climate Change since the mid30s and i cant believe that nobody, we are just now beginning to admit and say the words Climate Change. Im delighted to say that here tonight. The destruction of candle stick is going to be a mistake. Nobody vogted to do that. It was a ballot measure where they never mentioned that candle stick would be destroyed if 49ers were to leave town. The facts of the matter is that stadiums like candle stick like in oakland represent fossil fuel resources that we have to conserve and stepped extend the life of. I have had to sue my own city and some important and its been very difficult. For 10 years my patent has been infringed because u. S. Patent law is unconstitutional. You are going to be known for encouraging that. Supervisor london breed thank you, next speaker, please. Public speaker thank you for having us. I would like to take a few minutes for basically show my concern about the meeting that was held in place at my Community Close to my house about the reservoir. Im extremely concerned about these presenters who came to our neighborhood in propose developing of the reservoir to buildup to 20,000 possibly 20,000 Housing Units there. Im very concerned about this area. I have lived there for 21 years and i have seen the density grown out of control for the last 20 years. This will make things worse. The president alluded to Something Else and i had no knowledge of that. I support Affordable Housing for people. There is no study the impact will have on our community. No infrastructure. This has all the possibilities especially for Affordable Housing. This administration has to think of this and i ask this board and this boa board to do that. That we have a very clear planning. Some Youth Programs need to be built and a place to enrich themselves to be created. Social vocation. Public speaker madam supervisor and the rest of the board. I moved to San Francisco in 1962. I work for 65 years. I was a homeowner and now im homeless. Im here toed to support the recognition and the work being done at the western community. I have been a volunteer for 4 years teaching computer fundamentals and helping whoever needs it basically seniors. Helping them with the digital divide. The center is not only serving the community with computer access for a low income and homeless people. The centers has built in alliance with ddd and va to get yobs. The establishment at vets. Org. Im asking for support in recognition for the work the center is doing in the community. Supervisor london breed thank you. Next speaker, please. Public speaker my name is harris and i volunteer. For teacher security. I received much of my training after i was released on prole in North Carolina after more than 20 years in prison. I was an active member of the u. S. Army second air Born Division serving as infantry squad leader. I have taken notes of multiple attempts to establish programs for youth to teach skills that would show them an alternative way of life other than that of the streets and crime. None of these programs came to light because of lack of funding from either private or government sources. When this board and the future looks to ways to prevent mass murders like those that recently occurred in the hayes valley neighborhood
