Without objection, this ordinance is passed unanimously on the First Reading [gavel] these read item number eight item he is an ordinance to amend the public works go to acquire the contractor parking plan is a condition of approval of excavation permits for major work that is 30 consecutive calendar days or longer and specified temporary street space occupancy permits for construction work adopting fees for review and inspection later to contractor parking plans some folks and to affirm the Planning Department determination supervisor cohen welcome back. Its nice to see everyone back in bright eyed and ready to go. Today on item number eight, a dyslexic moment to thank supervisor christiansen as well as supervisor farrell for working collaboratively on this piece of legislation as well as the npa in dpw for working with our office to refine and develop the necessary application forms for contractors. Last year you may recall, all three of us heard for many of our constituents were frustrated with confusing overburdened some bringing up spring up all around various construction sites in various neighbors. In some instances, entire blocks, entire blocks of parking reserved a 24 seven days a week even with construction work wasnt occurring. Its left the entire portion of the neighborhood offlimits to residents who need to park overnight. Or individuals working to patronize a bird commercial corridors. Most most of central San Francisco north main that dismisses are starting to feel or continuing to feel the pinch. We on the to share this limited parking resources get so i am an enthusiastic supporter because i think the legislation strikes strikes the right balance facilitating construction also requiring contractors to be a little bit more thoughtful in specific about what exactly the parking needs are going to be. So this legislation also increases transparency but neighbors. By requiring the development of a contractor parking plan for these larger projects, the neighbors can hold contractors accountable and can also do a better job the better contractors can do a better job of planning for parking lot. So, colleagues, i would like to ask for your support on this legislation. Read my colleague supervisor mark farrell also is wonderful, stu share thank you. Supervisor farrell thank you. Colleagues, thank you take you supervisor cohen for cosponsorship. Construction is booming in our city and having a significant quality of life for all of our residents, ive heard complaints for years now from residents every day frustrated by the amount of neighborhood Parking Spaces that are being taken away by construction parking permits. This is especially we can all relate to and parking remains vacant for days of time and are not used. With over 250 permits obtained per week and close to 13,000 issued on a yearly basis of the city, ideally we can be more proactive in leading our residents know that the impacts are going to be happening to them in their neighborhoods. Given these frustrations at agree with supervisor comics and a cosponsor christiansen, wiener i want to thank supervisor kim as well. To introduce this construction parking plan legislation a few months ago. This plan will mandate a construction parking permit plan is a condition to receiving and any temporary street space occupancy permit for conceptual work that request more than one parking space over the course of three or more months. It also mandates permit on street Parking Spaces that are not used or occupied 4 pm on any given day shall be go to her residence of the public for use. This plan will be made proactively available to members of the public in the available on dpws website. The ordinance face many construction parking plan prerequisite to receiving his parking space permits for construction and zones. The components of the construction parking plan will include, among others, the number of Parking Spaces and the rationale, the average number of employees participated on site each day, the timeline and phasing of the project in requirement of an update from the contract at the midpoint of the construction project, whether its feasible to use offsite parking such is parking garages, and a proposal for how the contractor is going to be implement the 4 pm parking plan. In committee we also added additional Zoning Districts to mitigate the impact felt in neighborhood commercial districts for residents and Small Business and lastly include fees to ensure this legislation we properly enforced art in our neighborhoods. I do believe this is simple and straightforward and will alleviate a significant qualityoflife issue that exists are neighborhoods to i ask for your support. Thank you supervisor farrell collies can we take this item same housing call . Without objection, the ordinance passes unanimously on the First Reading [gavel] madam clerk read the next item please item 9 ordinance to amend the planning code to allow access or use of entertainment with limited Live Performance permits in the west and south of market mixed use general and regional commercial district. And to affirm the planet apartments determination and make the appropriate findings s supervisor kim thank you. Is legislation would expand a limited live permit usage into the neighborhood commercial corridor work of the rest of the city. As colleagues may remember, we delayed the implementation of limited live permits in the western south plan is the plan came forward that this program did. Many of the members of the task force had asked us to delay implementation until we see how this played out in other neighborhoods. The limited live permit program has been fairly successful throughout the city with very very few neighborhood and resident complaints, and so given the large number of entertaining use was already in the south of market were some concerns about allowing for more limited live permits. Being that has been successful in allowing smallscale djs, songwriters, open mics brought the city, the neighborhood is comfortable with expanding this now into the western summit plan so colleagues i ask for your support and one recognize and thank the Entertainment Commission many of our smoke businesses for the work and participation in this process.

My apologies. I today have come for couple days him and asked for your support when the transparent pleasing ordinance which is ordinance will be beneficial to all of san franciscans but especially to those in the Minority Community as well as those both the Sheriffs Department as well as the Police Department. Just briefly to orient you, the ordinance is reflective of the moment weve seen across the entire country over the last year. It reflects recommendations from pres. Obamas 21st Century Policing task force, which produced a report with a number of improvements that cities should make to improve Police Relations with the community. This ordinance would require the sheriff as well as the Police Department to collect data on race, gender, and to be collected during traffic stops and anytime either department either the government or Sheriffs Department, detains, stops, for questioning or searches in individual. This ordinance requires each department not only to collect this information but also to analyze and report it on a quarterly basis back to the board of supervisors and the Mayors Office as well as the Human Rights Commission. Also to the police commission. The three areas of concern that this ordinance is focused on are the prevention of pretextual stops based on race and pretextual stops based on gender related characteristics, and also, the use of force where it is unwarranted. Over the last year, we have all seen a number of horrific events where Police Officers have either killed or seriously injured young thusly africanamerican or other minority men and right here in San Francisco, africanamerican men arrested at a rate more than two times many caucasian residents. Studies have also shown transgender people across the us experience unprecedented levels of Police Violence at higher rates than on transgender individuals. So, it was a study that was released in 2015 by the National Coalition of antiviolence programs that show that transgendered women experience Police Brutality and rate of five point times greater than nontransgender individuals. For transwomen of color, the numbers 6. 2 times higher. Colleagues, in the past the ordinance the goal that we have outlined our that were trying to achieve is to reduce unintentional disproportion numbers of detentions, arrests and targeting minorities of the Transgender Community. Also, we like to introduce an additional level of transparency and oversight onto the Police Department as well as the Sheriffs Department as we begin to rebuild the trust that the community has hadthat the community has lost, and our lawenforcement department by making this Information Available to the public for review and by requiring quarterly reports to the Mayors Office, and to this body, as well as to the please commission and
