Mendoza recording the meetings and making the transcripts available online. Madam clerk, the 2 00 oclock special order. The honorable mayor, the mayor may address the board for up to five minutes. We have her online. Thank you, madam clerk. Welcome to the meeting, madam, mayor. Thank you, president walton. Good afternoon, supervisors. Its election day. I know there is a lot of work to be done. I will be brief. I want to thank the director for running our elections department. So often in the city we talk about the problems we have. This is a opportunity to recognize that our elections run pretty smoothly with little drama. Thats credit to the process, the election staff doing the manning to get us here to the volunteer poll workers out there today making sure people can vote and have a good experience. I poe elections often heighten divisions. There are those of us that a free on different measures, candidates and those of us at that disagree. In San Francisco unlike other parts of the country we have faith in our elections and process. When the poles close and votes are counted we honor the results. Thats because of our fund phpt al belief in democracy and our elections are well ran. Whatever happens tonight we come back tomorrow and roll up our sleeves and get to work. I hope we work well together regardless of the results. The people of San Francisco truly count on us. Thank you so much. Thank you, madam mayor. Madam clerk, please call the first topic. Housing and services for the unhoused. Thank you so much. Todays question is from supervisor chan. Supervisor chan, please ask your opening question. Good afternoon. For some time now our constituents have shared frustration with city hall. The a butted apbs of correction found and rack of City Services delivered. I know our constituents have many questions and areeager to answers. I reach out to district one president s to let them know about the question process today and wanted to moe what question they wanted to foe the most from the mayor. We had many questions from public safety, raf safety to housing. The topic a receives the post responses was about housing and services for the unhoused. Our neighbors sheila, mar that, glenda, steven, marti and many more ask about homelessness. We found that james question represented the over all sentiment of the tabers. Here is james question im asking on his be half. Its worry some to see instabilities on the streets of our beautiful city. Do agree at that Mental Healthcare is a resource that should be expended . If so what actions do you believe that we, mayor, shute supervisor, citizen, and governor should insure that resources are targeted for those in need of Mental Healthcare this. Is a question from our neighbor, james living in richmond. Thank you, supervisor chan for the question and reaching out to your constituents forgetting feedback on our city. I wish it was simple to provide the services and making a level of difference for the challenges we experience. Especially those struggling with mental ill fess. I know these are very complex issues. My hope is that the con students give ace opportunity to work Better Together to focus on the issues that patter in our district and problematic throughout the city. We know this is pretty much the sentiment of most in San Francisco. Since june of 202 0 we have 50 encampments across the shute adding more housing than we have in 20 years. We have opened and increased shelter beds with placements for prevention and provided rental assessments. Further we expanded our Treatment Network with new programs for the capacity of almost 300 additional beds for people experiencing homelessness and Behavioral Health needs. Were on track to expand the numbers that we have. There are times when addressing these conditions require using the tools around enforcement to accept health. Its not easy. I wish we had stronger laws to force people into treatment. Its why i will continue to work with the state legislatures to strengthen the laws. My hope is to get some changes. We got conservator ship. Its not enough. Supervisor mandelman will tell you as a person advocating for changes to the conservator ship laws he understand the challenges. We cant change local laws. We need help state wide. This office, im hoping supervisors will join me in a push to make conservator ship laws to deal with the folks that we know your constituents want us to help. Until then the best we can do is make sure that the resources that we have available and were providing that support when someone agrees to accept will help. Sadly that can mean enforcement when necessary. It will take a lot of work and significant changed to the state laws. I think you and other Board Members can be helpful in the advocacy to do so. Thank you, mayor. Supervisor chan, you may ask a followup question related to the opening questions. Thank you, mayor, for your answers. Let me say from what i can tell from constituents we have many concerns. At least in the richmond that we would love to invite to you join us in the richmond to directly have dialogue with our constituents and hopefully consider having town hall at least in the richmond and perhaps across the city. I know our constituents are eager to have a dialogue that just like we just had and with you directly. It would be a definitely a plus, think for our constituents being able to spend some time with you. I appreciate your time today. I look forward to seeing you in the richmond. Mayor. Thank you.

[ applause ] Congress Woman, were honored to have you with us today. Thank you so much. We want to depend you on this occasion really of regrettably to say its her retirement from congress. Too soon if i may say. Congress wpl spear has served as an elected leader for San Francisco bay year for nearly 40 years. Including the last 14 she has served the bay area in congress. She has demonstrated through her career shes not afraid to stand up to bullies, for the people. Especially the most vulnerable. She shows us that what is righteous is worth fighting for. I would like to share with you today a video that demonstrates her bravery and her strength. I suggest to you we need a society that will be zane. I ask for a i vote. Do you think an assault weapon is a machine gun . Assault weapons are any numbers of guns. Not just you think one squeeze of the trigger will send a burst of ammunition out the front. Automatic rifles will provide a number of bullets in a very short period of time. Youre wrong. Youre wrong, mrs. Spear. You have been shot by a automatic rifle. I have handled many. You have been shot by an automatic rifle . I have not. I. Have i can show you a lot of scars. I planned to speak about Something Else. The gentleman from new jersey has put my stomach in knots. Because i am one of those women he spoke about just now. I had a procedure at 17 wraoebgz, pregnant with a child that moved from the vagina into the cervics. That procedure you just talked about was a procedure i endured. I lost a baby. But for you to stand on this floor and suggest as you have that some how this is a procedure that is either welcomed or done cavalierly or done without any thought is preposterous. [ applause ] colleagues, today is an election day. Its a reminder we need leaders like Jackie Speier from local to federal level. To create a space for more women to run for office. This is the best way, one of the best ways we can honor Congress Woman speiers legacy. Thank you for your tire less dedication and to the people. Thank you. [ applause ] and Congress Woman speier, if you will indulge us we have a few words. Supervisor peskin. Yes. I watcheddered into Assembly WomanJackie Speiers office. I never met her before. I tried to convince her i was going to win. For some reason she endorsed my candidacy. I think she was the only member of the California State Assembly to do so. I prevailed this that race and im profoundly thank full to this day. We teamed up on the local and state level to combat the finance industries invasion of individuals privacy. A cause for a number of sessions by senator speier. We finally at the local and then the state level prevailed in that matter. Are you still my hero for that and many other things. P 20 years of being in and out of elected office there have been a lot of folks at that i didnt believe in to start with or stopped along the way. Jackie speier you give me confidence in elected officials and our democracy. Its been an honor to watch you do your thing. Congratulations. Supervisor mandelman. Thank you, mr. President. Jackie speier was a legend long before is elected to the City College Board in 2012, ten years ago. But i got to see Jackie Speier in action when city college was threaten with the loss of accreditation. It was a time people said city college should calm down t will be fine. Congress woman speier recognized we needed to fight back. I think city college is alive and continues to serve students in large part because of the work Congress Woman speier did then. Its one item on a long list of hundreds of things she have done for the people of california. Im particularly grateful for that. Thank you, Congress Woman speier. [ applause ] supervisor melgar. Thank you, president walton. I am so grateful you have represented my district, district 7, for awful these years. You have done that with high intellect and grace, service to the people. When we were redistricted the thing i heard the most was how people were going to miss being represented by you. You have so much love. So much love in the community for you. For me the first woman to represent that district you have been a inspiration. Your fierceness and strategicness has been something that is breath taking to watch for all of these years. Im profoundly grateful for you. I hope you get rest and joy over the next year. Thank you. [ applause ] supervisor safai. Thank you, Congress Woman speier, when nobody stood in my corner, you did. You are a true role model. Bullets cant stop you. Words cant stop you. Nothing can stop you. You have been someone that hags been a Guiding Light for this community for so long. For working people. I remember the first conversation we had and the photo we took. I was wearing a labor shirt. You said, ahsha, never forget working people that. Has driven me every day. That is the experience hi growing up. So i truly have taken that to heart. I want you to know i will continue that fight on your be hatch in the very small way that i can. Thank you, thank you for everything you have done for our community, constituents and residents of San Francisco. [
