In the is that 5gallon or less include does that 5gallon or less is what we see in our offices, in a lot of the offices in the city. The dispensaries. When former mayor implemented his executive order reducing the use of single use plastic water bottles, i know our office eliminated the water, the big water container in our office. In our city, our best source tap water come from our hedge reservoir, not from imported plastic jugs. With the city, we spend somewhat some where around 98,000 a year on this type of water in our offices. What i do in my office is we have pitchers of water thats provided to folks so that were not using more and more plastic and that we are being consistent in policies like this. This policy was strongly urged by our department of the environment and i would strongly urge support for it. And i guess the question this is considered a single use container then . Thats why im confused. I thought they keep on using it. So it would be the type of plastic container that would be covered under this ordinance. The only concern i have with introducing it today is as an amendment is whether or not other departments and it seems like nobody had a chance to weigh in terms of whats the impact on them. So i know my from the Committee Meeting to my staff sharing with all of your offices, we had a number of days to discuss this and i know that you and i did not talk about it, but im trying to be consistent with the recommendations from our department of the environment. Its a simple amendment, supervisor yee. Supervisor yee, would you like us to consider moving to other items and returning to this at a later time in the agenda . Yeah, i need some time to think about you wouldnt object that to supervisor mar. Well hold off on this item and return at a later time in our agenda. Madam clerk, can you please call items 57 through 59. Item 57 through 59 are three resolutions that transfer liquor licenses for item 57. Its a transfer of a type 21 off sale general license to trader llc located at 1909 union street. Suite a. Item 58 is a type 21 off sale general license to Whole Foods Market california ink low indicated at 1150 ocean avenue. Item 59 is a type 51 club license to the Common Wealth club of california. Located at 110 embar can we take those items, same house same call. Theyre adopted. Item 60. Its a resolution to urge the Police Department and the mayor to require the police chief reside within the city. Supervisor yee. I wanted to point out this is the advisory. Although i wish we had time to make it more of a requirement. I have mentioned this at committee that for instance, when someone was on the school board, we required the superintendent to live in the city if he was to work as a superintendent in San Francisco. The only person that we hire is a Department Head as the ta head, and we ask that of that particular person also. And on top of that, the police chief used to be required to live in San Francisco, so what im asking you is that you support that we ask the Police Commission and the mayor to look into this to see if [inaudible] required. Okay. Seeing no other names on the roster colleagues, can we take this item, same house, same call. Without objection, the resolution is adopted unanimously. Item number 61. 61 and 62 were considered by the rules committee on december 8th and were forwarded as committee reports.

Supervisor cohen. Good thank you very much. Id like to speak on item 64. Okay. Were on 63. I thought you called all 63, 64, 65 together. My apologies. Supervisor avalos. Thank you, i want to put in a quick word for the applicants, the members of the the city members of the for balboa. They have been doing a good thing looking at Affordable Housing and i cant think of a Better Committee we could have to do this work of overseeing development, Transportation Needs around balboa park station. Colleagues, i urge your support. Supervisor mar. I was going to say out of the rules committee, the tremendous Body Committee organizers to Small Business advocates to pedestrian leaders, but what a Great Committee thats going to move forward a lot of the vision that supervisor avalos and many others have put into this. Im commending the appointees and looking forward to working with that committee for the future of the balboa park station area. Thank you. Colleagues can we take this item, same house, same call. Without objection, the motion is approved unanimously. Item 64. Item 64 is a motion that was recommended with a new title appointing bill hing to the Police Commission term ending april 30, 2018, commissioner cohen. I want to speak in general to the several qualified candidates that applied and expressed interest in the Police Commission. It was an interesting discussion. Just by way of background, i want to start with just the about the Police Commission and the purpose of this body. The mission of the Police Commission is to set policy for the San FranciscoPolice Department and to conduct disciplinary hearing on charges of Police Misconduct filed by the police of chief, excuse me, by the chief of police or the director of the office of citizens complaint which is now the director of the department of Police Accountability. This person this role this commission is charged with a duty to impose discipline in such cases as warranted and here, Police Officers appeals from the discipline imposed by the police chief. This is an oversight body that sets policy for the Police Department. The commissioners are appointed by the Mayors Office and the board of supervisors and they oversee the Police Department and the office of Police Accountability. The Commission Also appoint and regulates patrol special officers and they also may suspend or dismiss patrol officers after hearings or charges are filed. So, for me, this committee hearing, the name that was brought before us is a brilliant professor bill ong hing and im going to make a motion that we not appoint professor bill hing but appoint john. For me its a simple question. It comes down to one question on the application, and that question is a public document, have you ever attended a Police Commission meeting . Period. Its simple. Have you ever attended a Police Commission hearing . And while i respect the professor, and his legal experience in deep community ties, his professional record is astounding, his accomplishments, its resolved around immigrant defense and the immigration policy development. He hasnt demonstrated to me that he has an interest or an expertise outside of immigration. I want to highlight that professor ong hs hing answered no. No he hasnt ever attended a Police Commission meeting. And by his own description during his interview and from his resume its limited and its limited to the immigration field. And this is a really critical time. This is a Critical Role at a unique moment in history when we need an appointee with expertise who is a bridge to boast to the public and the poa. We need an experienced advocate who has the time, the talent, the ability engage stakeholders across all identities, and i think thats absolutely critical. All identities. Its apparent to me that mr. John is the most qualified for the seat. Mr. Homosoci have the experience we need on the commission through his decades of working as a criminal defense attorney. His work to humanize those most directly and disproportionately targeted by sfpd. Mr. Homosocki did his Due Diligence in applying for this role and yes he has attended several Police Commission meetings. I have seen him there personally. Prior to his application, he took 6week to go out into the community and talk to Police Officers, to talk with the public, to talk to members of the board of supervisors and talk with his current colleagues and talk with members on the commission to get a deep understanding of the role of a commissioner and the role the Police Commission plays in this city. I have heard from many advocates and my office have received thousands of letters, numerous emails, calls of recommendations for both gentlemen. But mr. Homosocki have received support from folks on both sides of the aisle, from the community and the police side. And you heard earlier, the remarks that we need someone that is able to connect with both sides. As a supervisor who has been most deeply involved in Police Accountability reform, some of you may argue that, but in the most recent campos is like, yeah. Okay. Campos has me trumped by a few years, but im picking up the mantle supervisor avalos and supervisor im picking it were youre dropping it down. I have been involved in the ability reform. I have ive brought two to vote vote have passed with 80 approval ratings. So i do feel like i have a unique quality that im bringing here and i have a lens that im looking into this candidates, i have a unique understanding and i have a phenomenal grasp of what the commission needs and what values we need to have already instilled, not made up or manufacture erred that exist in the appointee. Its my hope that those will reconsider what came out the rules committee. I want to commit on something. If i was uncomfortable with the that was displayed in the hearing and the testimony. Its critical that we as members of the board of supervisors, were entrusted to make the best decisions for all of San Francisco. Every nook and cranny from Public Housing on down. And look objectively at the application that have been submitted and make a decision solely based on the qualifications for that role. So in my opinion, it is without question the person most qualified for this appointment at this time is mr. John homosocki. Our public defender, rudy, united play shawn richard. Former Police Commissioner as well as agent law caucus member or employee. Jesus which is a she helped us with the joint Committee Meeting that we had with the Police Commission last month. Jennifer. I love jennifer, but the coalition of homeless is supporting this candidate. Adrian tartanoti who is the director of the baby hunters Community Leader who ironically is a student of a former student of professor bill hing and paul who was here earlier, john cruise from the acla Police Practice and vinny who speaks often on Mental Health, particularly mental hes apart of the Mental Health working group and also fyi, a manager at tartine. I can hook you up. See me afterwards. Back to business. The Asian AmericanBar Association which is the largest apr Bar Association in the united states. It has close to 1,000 members. This includes muslim attorneys thats concerned about islam phobia. Hes chair of the officers for justice which is a police union for Police Officers of color specifically African American. The San Francisco for Police Accountability and just to add a celebrity touch, dura from black lives matter just for a little celebrity. In full transparency, i received 38 letters of recommendations from professor criminal defense, High School Student and College Students and other San Francisco ans. San franciscans. This is an incredible candidate that deserves our attention and our support. So please im asking you to not affirm the rules committees findings, but support my motion to appoint mr. John homsocki to the Police Commission. I want to also recognize that we have both candidates that are here in the chamber today. If you have questions for them, please i encourage you to reach out to them and ask them directly. The one question that boils down, have you attended a Police Commission meeting. Thats the number one question. Do you know what youre stepping into . Are you paying attention, are you at the table or did you wake up and get in the game. Thank you. Supervisor cohen has made a motion, is there a second . Seconded by supervisor avalos. Supervisor mar. Ill speak against the motion and i appreciate supervisor cohens passion about the issues that many of us care deeply about. But your fact was wrong about mr. Hamasoci. He has been a lawyer since 2008, not for decades. He has had really great experience and i know hes very passionate when i met with him and lots of my close allies support him. When you put his record next to bill hing, julie sue, robert hersh and others we did, and thats what i did, meeting and talking to everyone, its clear who the most qualified one for the Police Commission is. I respect mr. Hamasocis work beginning as a clerk and my Close Friends and colleagues have spoken for him, but that alone is not enough. I think with the National Lawyer skill and the work with the like i did when i came out of law school was important and i really respect that work he has done, but what i see with, fir example and ill start by bill hing, its 40 years. The San Francisco or the important units like the immigration unit, he helped develop and our neighborhood vehicles foundation. Im not going to go into his extensive record. Its not just immigrant rights. Hes seen as a Racial Justice and extremely wise leader on so many different levels. If you even read the the howard law journal which is the African American journal law school and journal piece on disrupting race based policing, looking at cases from ferguson to the 12yearold tamir rice in cleveland killing to the black lives Matter Movement rise to many other movements, bill hing has been a champion of multi racist justice. When i look at candidates, i try to put along side their deep relationships with Different Community based groups and i think professor hing to jewelry sue emphasized those deep relationships if their testimony. From julie sues leadership on the commission on the status of women heard deep roots with Domestic Violence and Human Trafficking to so many other issues she brought out and the relationships with people not only in the chinese and Asian Pacific islanders, but with other commuters, i think mr. Hamosoci is developing those relationships. When i put their records side by side, but following in the former who also came out of immigrant Rights Movements. At this point in history, depending our city sanctuary ordinance and the dignity of immigrant people really respectful relationships within communities of color so that we deescalate conflicts is so important. And i know sue and professor hing and mr. Hamsosoci we need a leader like bill hing. I hope we have other seats we can consider the others. But i think for this position, identity politics are since you raised it, i dont choose a candidate because theyre asian or pacific islander. I look for people who have deep relationships that know who the community, know how to talk to different groups within that community, but also others across racial ethnic and class line and i think thats why bill hing has that experience. His long list of various public application to his teaching, theres a stereotype of law professors thats ivory towered people. Bill hing from the 1980s working with the latinos and asian islanders community to me its so important. When we first looked at the candidates, we saw there werent people that had that much experience. That was my first question to our former
