The resolution is adopted unanimously next item. Item 7 referred without recommendation from the government audit oversight to appropriate one hundred thousand dollars in the general to the department of Emergency Management to provide relieve for italy victims. Supervisor farrell. So colleagues, i know there was a tragedy that happened no italy as some of us are very, very Close Friends ive heard about it but i dont believe that San Francisco should be in the business for providing assistance for every tragedy around the world as attempting i fully support and are personally contributed to efforts here in San Francisco to aid those victims but to me this is a mistake most o more importantly what are we are doing in terms of avenue slirm e slippery slope what about the isis bauchl and the list can go on and on and whether is one hundred or one Million Dollars the city of San Francisco shouldnt be in this business it is a wrong thing to do because i can think of many things the city of San Francisco needs in the sidewalks and in the budget every single year that we should be spending the money as opposed to to giving it abroad. Thank you supervisor farrell supervisor peskin thank you madam president and colleagues first of all, i think were all aware of what happened on august 24th hour in the nation state of italy but here we are the day after the 27 anniversary of the loma prieta earthquake and here we are on the one hundred anniversary of the those chambers built after the 1906 San Francisco earthquake and fire after the loma prieta earthquake San Francisco benefited from contribution from individuals and nations from around the world this is has been a part of a longs trajectory where San Francisco an earthquake prone city has recognized the fact the world radical rallied for San Francisco in 1989 and indeed the tradition of coming to the aid of cities around the planet started long before i was on the board the last time this is done for cities in schien by the board of supervisors in the late 1990s and el salvador and india all of them the result of earthquakes that is part of a proud tradition i submit to all of you what comes around goes around we should remain one hundred years and 27 years later the world taken care of of San Francisco a 9 point plus Million Dollars this appropriations is no whereas, large as the appropriations in times we had a much smaller budget vote our conscious i think the nation state of italy and the proud indianamerican tradition of San Francisco warrant this vote. Thank you supervisor peskin supervisor campos thank you madam president i mean i appreciate with supervisor farrell is saying but i think that the city we have to recognize that we dont live in a vacuum that in fact, were connected to other parts of the world and that one of the things that comes with being a city, state, in the year 2016 is to stretched step forward and help other parts of the world in a tough time with a Natural Disaster and the idea that the cities will do the same for when the time if that time comes we find ourselves in that position i think outside the box to me thats appropriate it is a gesture consistent with who we are with the city of st. Francis ill have an issue from the amount was much larger but i think that is more a symbol that we recognize that were part of a larger world and that in some respect we are connected to other parts of the world. Thank you supervisor campos supervisor cowen. Good afternoon colleagues particularly the maker of this appropriation i think im in a the conflict i see that as more of a nuance position one that potentiality could be helpful with clarification do we give aid only in the instance of an earthquake . Have we given aid whenever a member has requested aid to be given to a country supervisor peskin im going to direct my question towards you, you may have the most knowledge. Madam president. Supervisor peskin through the president to supervisor cowen to my knowledge all the instances of the city of San FranciscoBudget Committee storing guests on 09 cities in the instances of earthquake only earthquakes to the best of my knowledge. That would be helpful as i reviewed this appropriation and the language what came to my mind 9 devastation of haiti was it for an earthquake or a Natural Disaster hold on supervisor avalos id like to hear our answer where i am im wondering i i feel comfortable if we did it for earthquakes and set a precedence for earthquake okay some kin red sister city synergy happening there then my question if it is not for earthquake perhaps develop a process around which whats the criteria to evaluate where and more importantly how much i do so supervisor farrells position i think of the homeless crisis i see that is a a huge disaster we can use one hundred thousand dollars to assist but not an excuse really to understand what past boards have done and if at all possible to set up a protocol and standard sometimes are acts are heavy handed or favoritism and madam chair. Supervisor avalos through the chair weve done a number of appropriations from the general reserve earthquakes are not the only instances there have been hurricanes and ti phones we responded to hurricane felix that hit honduras and nicaragua and committed 200 thousands the funds that went to those parts of regions actually were not k345e7b8d through the American Red Cross but through the ground that enabled communities to build wells and have appropriated technology for their continuation that was successful we actually had monitoring to look at how that was done to work the Mayors Office had gone down to do that and as you recall in december of 2004 for new years day the tsunami that hit thailand and we committed money to that as well an attempt to do a larger amount the board committed to a smaller amount. Do you remember the amount. Maybe a Million Dollars or 200 and 50 thousands i dont recall for hurricane it hit the philippines in 2013 we committed 200 thousands that didnt go through the American Red Cross but to organizations that were work on the ground for the dollars had maximum benefits for people on the ground who were dealing with the impact sometimes, we send dollars to organizations and organizations take a lot of the administrative you know money for the administrative processes we have a history of doing that note a set format but weve before successful in dealing with supporting communities that are suffering from Natural Disasters to make sure the organizations are well effected if in the countrys the governments making sure the monies are used appropriately. Thank you. I appreciate probation officer History Lesson so although helpful doesnt bring me to a position to cast a yes vote i again want to reiterate that perhaps we develop a process and if there is a process im unaware of it let me know what type of a Natural Disaster warrants a contribution from the city and county of San Francisco thank you. Thank you supervisor cowen and supervisor avalos you want you had your name and he removed 2 you were richmond to a question. It was pretty much to respond to that question we say a history and actually successful from the i point of view to the places were trying to get money to. Thank you supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor president london breed ill not belabor the point i appreciate the comments ill suggest that is more appropriate for individuals to contribute to we can do 3 individually as supervisors or people in the community with the philanthropic efforts to support this and despite some of the comments were not a nation state and not the federal government this shouldnt be what were doing as a city. Thank you seeing no other names on the roster, madam clerk can you please call roll.
