Thank you supervisor president london breed i want to thank supervisor avalos for bringing this forward to us and also like to be added as a coauthor or cosponsor of that legislation. I was with an that vetoed tell to amend the bond piece during the budget process and so im really glad our bringing this what youre calling a compromise language since the Budget Committee meeting i gotten to understand a little bit more about what the impact will be in regards to whether or not wells fargo will be allowed to bid on the bonds issuance and, yes, that will happen but not as great as i thought to be truthful the sometimes, we have to make that statement even though that costs us as a city we cant be doing best with corrupt organizations and so i just wanted to make that statement that if come july next year if we dont get the report that we need you would be there to reverse this vote he took in terms of bond measure thank you very much. Thank you supervisor yee supervisor kim. Thank you. I have not to take the opportunity to thank supervisor avalos i think that is incredibly are important how we invest taxpayer dollars into our community but invest our dollars in companies and this is a scandal of one of our large banks that came out of california learning about how they defrauded thousand of customers everyday san franciscans by opening up the Fraudulent Bank accounts and the unique that came forward 5 three hundred employees got fired and the dhufs got a slap on the waste this is unacceptable and great to come out and accept responsibility to we expect fare more of the constitution institutions so im glad they understand there are penalty for defrauding our residents here and just to concur with the words that supervisor cowen and what ive talked about earlier about our shrinking marching and growing poor and wealthy household until San Francisco we really, really need to take on this issue and looking at the ceo to average worker pay growing by one thousand percent over the last thirty years to the point a ceo makes three hundred and 7 three hundred more than their average working in the 50s and 60s far more narrow that is important that question take an important position on wells fargo but also on any other companies that are really just underpaying their workers and so thank you to supervisor avalos for your work on the measure and happy to be a cosponsor.

Supervisor avalos. First of all, i want to thank calling names for being here and for their patience. clapping. please stand. speaking spanish. thank you for waiting through all the items were talking about today speaking spanish. in Bernal Heights and working on building whether to have a memorial to honor this is your son who lost his life in 2014 on Bernal Heights park i knew alex worked with him an advocate back in 2000 and 2009 one he was a youth contaminate a youth and Bernal Heights center and the executive order would come with alex as advocates where i was working tatd and knowing knew alex be dedicated young man that of those doing a lot of Community Work that was instilled by his parents and schools in the bernal area and alex dedicatedism to education and working on getting his certifying at the city college to became a probation officer and dedicated to helping to give a lot of young people a chance to have greater opportunities and away from the streets and giving back to the experience he had growing up other than that day he was shot he was you know under recent a court case about that incident and the officers involved found to be xrated by the courts but the Community Felt that alex was gunned down with the offer use of force and that incident and the pain reverberate through Bernal Heights and the excelsior and places where alex lived and the community was around him because of pa pain a huge need to find some sense of healing at that spot there is roadway currently a shine this is there an alter and his parents frequent to you talked with alex and get close to him and get a sense of what transpired area where their son lived and they continue to live i canned think of anything that will mark what San Francisco has been introduce weve seen a number of young men and women that have been gunned down by people who work for the San Francisco Police Department i regardless of how you feel it was justified the shootings were justified or not but were going to mark an experience people have in San Francisco that people have had in different places thats what this memorial is about, about this time we have other dreams that torn apart our communities and our families i think if we acknowledge that those incidents have happened it brings us closure to the finding we need to have a city that really lives up to its values so ive been honored to work on this ordinance and this ordinance essentially would you know require a or director rec and park to install a memorial the memorial has not been designed there is that language has been talked about where the community is going through a process to understand the right design and the language to be there and this will go have not Arts Commission that goes to the process how to approve public art the communities is also discussed raising money themselves for the mural for the memorial and i do think that that could be you know some of the city could do in the future the intent has been the community will come together to you know raise in part the funds to me that is also a way that the community can strengthen and grow and look after each other that is the essence of Community Safety is about and the community that all about in memorial how we can bring a Community Together and healing to a site there guess tremendous tragedy and how we can bring a sense of understanding how the many losses weve experience in recent years when patrol officers use of force with less discretion than they should as were seeing were trying to change policies around the use of force and thank you to the colleagues and thank you to jeramy pollack his work in me office and the communities of folks that came together across many of the recent shootings that have happened a lot of few weeks that have come as you can see to back and thank you for doing this that is how we show what San Francisco is all about so with that, colleagues ifd to have our support thank you thank you. clapping. supervisor campos. Thank you, very much. Madam president and thank you to supervisor avalos and jeremy pollack and his staff and thank you to carolyn in my office for all the work to put is this together to so forth to the community especially the family for their perseverance and their patience throughout the process. speaking spanish. you know it is a bittersweet day supervisor avalos and supervisor mar that is our last meeting at the board of supervisors and one of the issues that i think you know leaves me with a great deal of of thinking with a heavy heart the issue where we are today Police Reform many things unresolved we have a number of cases and alex being one of them that on so many levels havent given a satisfactory conclusion for the families of the victims within the things ive learned through the process of being here and alm that something did happen is how even though you cant bring back someone that was fell as alex did at the hands of our police this is something to be said for that acknowledging and remembering i think that happened with mario woods i think that the families basically saying they want that as well i think in the context of Everything Else weve failed to do so far in many respect the least we can do and westbound cant bring alex back and we subtle have to thats the place where this incident happened so i think we have an opportunity and quite frankly to have an opportunity to turn something tragic and something positive. This does and as resident, im proud this will be placed and done in a way the community can provide their 0. 02 and again to the parents of nieto, i cant bring your son back. Were thinking with you and we want to hear together. [spanish] thank you. Thank you supervisor campos. Supervisor farrell. Speaker i want to acknowledge supervisor avalos he has spoken about this. So if i say im sorry for the loss for our community in particularly for the parents, you know, and any tragedy like this is horrific, but i cannot support this ordinance today. Most importantly because in my mind, what this message audience booing] speaker this is an emotional topic, but i would ask you respect our process and allow us to continue. They will be a vote on this matter and there are some members who will have a different type of opinion. I ask that you allow members of the board to express their opinion as you know. Theres applause and booing in support of opposition is prohibited in the chamber. Please allow us an opportunity to have a discussion and get through this. Thank you for your patience. Thank you president breed and most importantly for me because of what its sending to the Police Department who put their lives on the line for us everyday in San Francisco. Our board is more concerned about honoring those that have fallen and been killed by Police Officers for reasons, but we do not recognize excuse me a second. Excuse me. If the out burst continue to persists, unfortunately i will have to recess the meeting. So im asking members of the public, again, out of respect for the family who is here today, can you please allow us to continue to move forward with this. And if you want to support words that are being said, just waive your hands, if you oppose anything, please just use the thumbs down and we will see you. Thank you. Supervisor farrell. Thank you supervisor breed. We dont recognize the Police Officer killed or injured in the line of duty protecting us as residents. Many fallen officers of the past years come to mind. Officer downs was shot in the head. Nothing was talked about. Our San Francisco residents and people that risk their lives everyday to protect the residents of San Francisco, and in the mist of our heat debates which i appreciate and is fair game, but over the past year, somehow i think we have lost sight of that. We have forgotten the debt we owe to the men and women and someone needs to speak for them. And i am not talking about the poa or any other group involved in this debate. But for me, among other things, its the people i grew up in San Francisco who have been apart of our police, fire and Sheriffs Department for years. Those that i see on the weekends are at kids soccer game and have been apart of San Francisco for generations and those men and women in our Public Safety department that moved to San Francisco because they believed in Public Service and they believed in the clear a career in Public Safety and have dedicated their careers to protect us. My vote is for them. Supervisor cohen. Speaker whats scary and its unfortunate is we cannot honor a loss of life period. A loss of life is a loss period whether its Law Enforcement or whether its a community person. And i think its incredibly disingenuous and alarming that you cant support something you cant be one way without being fearful of being called racist or misinterpreting your actions that youre on one side. The reality is if Law Enforcement or if anyone wants to be recognized, all they have to do is ask the same way the community has made an ask. This is the first time. One thing that has made me uncomfortable about this ask was that how do we honor and up lift alex nieto without putting a shadow on other members who have weve lost along the way because alex isnt the only one. Alex wasnt the last one. But it was the community that organized and have made this ask. Its a humble ask. Its not too much to ask for. And i would be happy to sponsor something for the poa. Happy to sponsor something for the firefighters. This is not an us or them. It doesnt have to be that simple. It doesnt have to be gray or black or white and cut and straight dry. This is an opportunity for us to come together. This should be healing. This should be bringing peace. Instead this kind of conversation is tearing us apart. We need a national day of remembrance, to remember everybody that has died one way or the other. For every officer shot in head or killed, their life matters. Its terrible. Its violence. Thats what we need to be standing up and remembering. How violence touches everyone. Im going to be supporting this. This memorial and im going to be supporting of future memorials should anyone of my colleagues want to bring for Law Enforcement because every every every thank you, every life does matter and i dont say that to my gate the black or Brown Community and the struggle because thats very real. That is very real, but we can honor alex. Alex represents many men and women that have died. Its not just about alex nieto and to be fair, Law Enforcement has their private ceremony and memorials that they conduct for those officers they have lost in the line of duty. The baby station has an annual one where they get together for a soul that was lost several years ago in the line of duty. So come on. This is this is tearing us apart and it needs to be building us together. This pain that binds us. This is hurt that binds us. This is love. Thats all i got to say. Thank you supervisor cohen. Supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president and colleagues. First of all, when a Police Officer is shot or killed, we as members of the board of supervisors, i think each and every one of us go that that funeral. When officer kevin downs was shot, i drove out there at 11 00 at night to San Francisco General Hospital and said hi to his father. These are not mutually exclusive things. I think when we get in this die maam is dynamic we cant honor a citizen of San Francisco who was tragically killed in a hale of bullets, that plays in to this whole mentality that is at the root of the problem. We need to have a society where we can honor the working men and women of the Police Department and the dangers they face and we can honor members of our community tragically killed. These are not exclusive. I think they benefit one another. I think when the Police Officer Police Officers association knows that we take the loss of life of one of our citizens as seriously as we take the loss of life of one of our officers, that sends a powerful message. So i dont think we should go back to the old day dynamics of we cant honor this individual because its somehow disrespects the police. Thats fundamentally not true. Thank you supervisor peskin. Speaker supervisor campos. I respect everyones views, and i think whats painful about what i just heard is that the argument about how supporting or remembering someone who died in an incident involving the police is disrespectful to the Police Officers and the department and an argument that was made for the day of mario woods. We heard that precisely from the poa. And at that point, we responded by saying we respectful disagree. Were ready if theres a need or desire to recognize of contributions of any Police Officer to do that. We said to the poa, our doors are open. Tell us what it is were not doing. And we specifically rejected that false choice in having done that and actually establish a president for recognizing the memory of someone who fell out of an incident, what does it say to the family that were willing to do that with 1 person, but not another. If that argument is the argument that we were going to follow, we should have followed it before, but i think that i mean its painful actually. Does it matter that this person, you know, comes from where they come from . I mean, i mean, its actually very painful. And i think its very unfortunate and i think that to the poa, i would say you know, as ive said since ive been on the when i was on the police commission, you dont serve your members well when you try to make that false choice. It is not mutually exclusive. We can honor the men and women of the Police Department and still recognize the memory. Thank you. Thank you, supervisor campos. No names on the roster, madam clerk, can you please call the roll. Item 31, supervisor tang. Speaker aye. Tang aye. Yee aye. Speaker avalos. Aye. Supervisor breed. Aye. Campos. Aye. Supervisor cohen. Aye. Supervisor farrell. No. Speaker supervisor kim. Speaker aye. Supervisor mar. Aye. Supervisor peskin. Aye. There are nine aye and one no with farrell this item passes on the First Reading. [ cheering ] thank you everyone. Thank you everyone so much for being here and congratulations. Were going to all right. Thank you everyone. We are back. Madam clerk. Lets go to where ever we left off. Speaker committee reports. Let me skip to the committee reports. Item 50 and 51 were considered by the Oversight Committee at a special meeting on thursday, december 8th. And were recommended as committee reports. Item 50 is an ordinance to amend the governmental conduct code to require members of the city board and commissions to file the payment reports regarding the solicitation of charitable contributions. Okay. Supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president. Colleagues, ill be brief. I want to thank supervisors yee and breed for their support of this item in committee which i introduced in may of this year which would impose certain limited reporting requirements on our city commissioners and Board Members, requirements which apply to all of us elected officials via state regulation. Our city as we know has a unique system of commissions and boards which are largely comprised of volunteers from various fields and have immense power to give fines or improve licenses or land use entitles. Today is a piece of legislation that shed light on how the Public Officials wheel their influences from parties that appear before them or from agents. I would like to make a couple of notes. First this proposal was narrow than the reporting requirement thats apply to us, having heard from our citys commissioner and Board Members, many of who hold day jobs at nonprofits, its critical we create a system thats not burden some or prevent these Board Members from serving. Second with respect to our standing concerns about the scope of this requirement, ive communicated with our elt Ethics Department and we look forward to working with them and working independently to develop rule and regulations to achieve while making sure it remains tailored to shine light. I want to thank the board of secretaries who have worked with my staff to help make this legislation better and i would also like to thank my staff, lee hepner for his work on it. Just a few relevant facts. The threshold reporting amount is 1,000. As i have said, its only for those be hefted payments for people that are actually practicing or appearing in front of that commission much narrower than what we have. And received unanimous support from the Ethics Commission. It wont be effective until january 1st of 2017. Theyll establish a form for filing and the Ethics Commission will give rules and regulations around implementation and with that, i hope to get your support. Thank you, supervisor peskin. Colleagues, seeing no other names on the roster. Madam clerk, can you please call the roll. Item 50, supervisor tang. Aye. Supervisor yee. Aye. Supervisor avalos. Aye. Supervisor breed. Aye.

This was before the full board last tuesday and again we have now made the increase of affordable middle Housing Units which was a Commission Hearing and accepted by the project sponsor. I want to thank the project sponsor and the community for their work on this building.

Same house, same call. The resolution is adopted. 5360 was considered by the Neighborhood Services committee at a regular meeting on thursday, december 8th and were forwarded as committee reports. Item 56 is to amend the environment code to modify restrictions on the sale or distribution on City Property on Drinking Water in Single Service containers to educate City Departments regarding these restrictions and to make environmental findings. Supervisor mar. Thank you for your support for this bottle free ordinance. I want to thank campos our coalition of Corporate Accountability International are environmental and water Access Coalition which includes corporate inter nation and save the bay, and the story of stuff and the center for biological diversity have found that our 2014 law had huge loophole in it. This is in an effort to modernize and close those loopholes to San Francisco can move forward as plastic single use water bottle free and packaged free as well. This will move us toward our zero waste goals. By expanding the size of the bottles and packaged water that applies to this ordinance, strengthening the enforcement in the city reduce the use of plastic Water Bottles and also ensure our department of the environment is the overseer or the guardian. This extends our bottle free access to have increasing to our Public Water System with drink tap station and other efforts from our rec and Park Departments, School District and throughout the city. This ordinance also expands to include a 5gallon size plastic water container. Moving from 28 ounces all the way up to 5gallon and it supports promoting of public water, not privatization of water through the over use of single use plastic water bottle and other packaged water. In 2014, we passed a historic, maybe the first in the nation law with now assembly men david chu, but the coalition remains to stay active to reduce plastic pollution and to increase water access with drink tap stations throughout the city. We would have expanded to 100 new drinking stations by 2015 and with allocations of roughly 600,000 to the puc and the School District over the next 2 years 2 years expanding it more. It has had an impact on our environment and marine pollution in our oceans. This amends our environment code to modify restrictions on the sale and distribution on our City Properties of single use containers while educating City Departments on the restrictions. This ordinance strengthens our enforcement and also creates greater accountability by having the department of the environment oversee the ordinance. Bottled and packages water in San Francisco needlessly harms our environment. In San Francisco we have the best source of pure water and we should be promoting and make such access expanded as much as possible. This is about moving towards a culture of being bottle free and promoting access to our public water. The material used for bottled water, singled use bottle water is not recycle in San Francisco or much of it isnt, and that goes for boxed water and other types of containers like plastic bags that contain water these days. So these items will likely wind up in landfill and sometimes as litter, definitely on ocean beach where i live, we see so much of the caps and plastic bottles, straws and other types of plastic pollution. Almost all packaged water sold on the market today, boxes, plastic bottles and bags contain types of plastic, part of a growing epidemic of Plastic Waste that impacted our marine. It has a greater Environmental Impact in drinking from a municipal water source like a tap or using reusable Water Bottles. Resources are used from extraction to disposal to extract it from the ground, as we go to var gas water is life. It should not be privatized and i think really ensuring we have Public Access to water is so important to our city. It takes three leaders of water to produce 1 liter of packaged water and the package water industry produced 2. 5 million tons of co2 so the foot print is overwhelming for a city like us. I want to thank the public works facility especially john, but from our San Francisco unified School District, the sustainability coordinator nick who is over the years both have advanced water access and to bring drink tap stations throughout the city especially in low income communities. On the drink tap stations installed through the city, ill say they are helping ensure equity in many of our neighborhoods. This ordinance is a step forward in protecting our environment and discouraging the use of single use plastic Water Bottles and i hope as i and other colleagues leave the board, that my colleagues and cosponsors will continue to build on this legacy with the task force thats looking at plastic pollution, so that we build on this legacy of environmentalism and sustainability for our city. Lastly, acknowledging the organizations that have been there from the start, again, Corporate Accountability International which worked with our former mayor to make San Francisco one of the first bottle free city in this country, but also more recently the firefighter foundation, but clean water action, save the bay, bay keeper, fly jiers and biological the two amendments that were mentioned in our Public Safety Neighborhood Services committee that i have given to all of you are very simple. One is a simple amendment that defines packaged water meaning Drinking Water in a single sealed bag or sealed box, bag, can, glass bottle, rigged plastic bottle or other container 5 gallons or less and having a capacity of 5 gallons or less. The Second Amendment that im proposing for you and that im moving today is proposing to remove section 2406d, given that departments responsible may seek from the department of the environment a waiver and then it strikes out a number of words in that language. So it really ensures the department of the environment is the overseer of this policy. Colleagues thank you to supervisor farrell and cohen for cosponsoring and i urge you to support this as amended. Speaker supervisor mar has made a motion to amend, seconded by supervisor farrell. Can we take the amendments oh you want supervisor yee. Supervisor mar and president , the amendments, they do include the 5gallon or less . Was that an amendment made before . Supervisor mar. Thank you, president breed. My First Amendment is including the 5 gallons or less
