THIS WAS HEARD BY THE LAND USE AND TRANSPORTATION COMMITTEE YESTERDAY. >> I WON'T SAY AS MUCH AS I DID YESTERDAY BUT I DO WANT TO SHARE THAT THE 45 DAY MORATORIUM IS AN INTERIM MEASURE AUTHORIZED

UNDER STATE LAW THAT GIVES THE CITY TIME TO STUDY THE IMPACTS OF DATA CENTERS AND DEVELOP UPDATED LONG TERM REGULATIONS. DURING THIS PERIOD WHEN WE WERE LOOKING AT ISSUES INCLUDING ENERGY, WATER, AIR

QUALITY, LAND USE AND COMMUNITY IMPACTS WHILE WORKING TOWARD STRONGER PROTECTIONS AND MEANINGFUL COMMUNITY INPUT AS WELL AS DATA CENTER DEFINITION THAT IS CLEAR TO EVERYONE. >> THIS LEGISLATION WOULD

PARK CITY APPROVALS OF DATA CENTERS WHILE THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND PLANNING DEPARTMENT STUDY THEIR IMPACTS AND DEVELOP LONG TERM RULES AND IT DIRECTS PLANNING TO REPORT BACK WITHIN 25 DAYS ON

PROGRESS TOWARD THAT GOAL. THE MORATORIUM IS AUTHORIZED UNDER THE CALIFORNIA GOVERNMENT CODE SECTION 6558 WHICH ALLOWS LOCAL GOVERNMENTS TO PAUSE APPROVALS OF A USE WHILE THEY STUDY AND DEVELOP

PERMANENT ZONING CONTROLS IN RESPONSE TO A CURRENT AND IMMEDIATE THREAT TO PUBLIC HEALTH, SAFETY OR WELFARE. >> UNDER PASSAGE IT WOULD TAKE EFFECT IMMEDIATELY UPON ENACTMENT AND REMAIN IN PLACE FOR 45

MORE AND PROTECT OUR COMMUNITIES. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT BENJAMIN. THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR WALTON. I THINK WE CAN TAKE THIS ITEM SAME HOUSE, SAME CALL. WITHOUT OBJECTION THE URGENCY ORDINANCE IS

IMMEDIATELY PASSED ON FIRST READING. MADAM CLERK, LET'S GO TO ROLL CALL FOR INTRODUCTIONS. >> YES, MR. PRESIDENT. FIRST UP TO INTRODUCE NEW BUSINESS IS SUPERVISOR FIELDER SUBMIT SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU.

SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD SUBMIT. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR RANDLEMAN THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK COLLEAGUES TODAY I AM INTRODUCING LEGISLATION TO REGULATE SELF-SERVICE CHECKOUT AT LARGE GROCERY STORES AND DRUGSTORES

IN SAN FRANCISCO. SPECIFICALLY THE ORDINANCE REQUIRES COVERED STORES TO HAVE A HUMAN ATTENDANT AVAILABLE FOR EVERY THREE SELF-CHECKOUT STATIONS IN OPERATION. THE LEGISLATION AIMS TO PROTECT GOOD UNION

JOBS AND PRESERVE HUMAN INTERACTIONS IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD STORES. SAN FRANCISCO LEADS THE WORLD IN DEVELOPMENT AND DEPLOYMENT OF NEW TECHNOLOGY AND AS WE MAKE THE TRANSITION TO AN INCREASINGLY TECH

RELIANT ECONOMY, WE SHOULD BE JUST AS COMMITTED TO MAKING SURE WORKING PEOPLE HAVE A PLACE IN THAT FUTURE. BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT REDUCING RETAIL THEFT. A 2023 ANALYSIS OF NEARLY 5000 TRANSACTIONS BY THE

CHECKOUT TECHNOLOGY COMPANY GRAB AND GO ESTIMATED SHRINKAGE AT SELF-CHECKOUT AT 3.5% OF SALES COMPARED WITH 0.21% AT STAFFED LANES AT 2026 STUDY OF 39 RETAILERS BY ACR RETAIL LOSS AND THE UNIVERSITY

OF LICE LISTER FOUND THAT TOTAL STORE LOSSES ROSE AN AVERAGE OF 22% IN THE FIRST YEAR AFTER SELF-CHECKOUT WAS INTRODUCED. >> THE COSTS OF RETAIL THEFT ARE NOT SOLELY BORNE BY THE OPERATORS OF THESE

STORES AND DO NOT FULLY SHOW UP IN CORPORATE BALANCE SHEETS. THOSE COSTS ALSO INCLUDE THE PHYSICAL RISKS TO AND PSYCHOLOGICAL TRAUMA EXPERIENCED BY EMPLOYEES AND CUSTOMERS IN THOSE STORES AND THE

IMPACTS TO THE SURROUNDING NEIGHBORHOOD AND BUSINESSES. WHEN THE LOCAL GROCERY OR DRUGSTORE IS REGULARLY GETTING RIPPED OFF, THE LEGISLATION DOES NOT BAN SELF-CHECKOUT AND IT ONLY APPLIES TO GROCERY

STORES OVER 10,000FT2 AND DRUGSTORES. I WANT TO THANK JIM RB FROM U OF CW LOCAL FIVE FOR WORKING WITH US ON THIS LEGISLATION. HUGO CABRERA FROM THE CITY ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. PAT MULLIGAN FROM THE OFFICE

OF LABOR STANDARDS AND SOPHIE MARIE IN MY OFFICE FOR HER WORK. I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK OUR EARLY CO SPONSORS SUPERVISOR CHERYL CHEN WALTON AND FIELDER AND THE REST I SUBMIT. THANK YOU MR.

PRESIDENT. SUPERVISOR MELGAR SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR SAUDER THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. COLLEAGUES, AS SOME OF YOU MAY RECALL, THIS BODY CREATED A PROGRAM CALLED EXPANDED COMPLIANCE CONTROL IN

2021. THIS WAS DONE IN THE WAKE OF RODRIGO SANTOS SCANDAL WHICH SEVERELY UNDERMINED THE PUBLIC'S TRUST IN DEPARTMENTS AND CODES MEANT TO KEEP US SAFE AND KEEP THE RULES FAIR FOR ANYONE INVOLVED IN THE

BUILDING DESIGNING AND PERMITTING OF OUR CITY STRUCTURES. >> THIS PROGRAM HAS HAD SOME IMPACT. SEVEN INDIVIDUALS HAVE BEEN NAMED TO THE LIST OVER TIME AND BEING ON THE LIST TRIGGERS AN IMPORTANT

ADDITIONAL LAYER OF OVERSIGHT AND SERVES AS A CONSUMER PROTECTION SAFEGUARD. BUT I BELIEVE THAT WE CAN GO FURTHER. WE'VE RECENTLY HAD TWO EXAMPLES IN MY DISTRICT OF WHERE WE NEEDED TO ADD ADDITIONAL

PROTECTIONS AND ACCOUNTABILITY TO THIS PROGRAM TO MAKE IT TRULY REACH ITS GOAL. EARLIER THIS YEAR THIS BOARD HEARD THE APPEAL OF THE FAMILY OF A FAMILY LIVING AT 5 TO 4 VALLEJO STREET IN MY DISTRICT.

IT WAS CLEAR THAT ALONG THE WAY A COUPLE OWNERS AGO SOME BAD ACTORS ILLEGALLY CONVERTED A FOUR UNIT BUILDING INTO A SINGLE FAMILY HOME. OUR EXISTING METHODS OF CATCHING BAD ACTORS AND HOLDING THEM

ACCOUNTABLE FAILED THAT FAMILY. >> IN THE LAST COUPLE OF WEEKS WE HEARD A FRUSTRATING STORY OF A NEW BUTTER AND CRUMBLE CAKE'S LOCATION TENS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS WERE SPENT AND MONTHS OF WORK DONE

BY THE CITY AND THE BUSINESS OWNER WASTED BECAUSE SOMEONE A FEW YEARS AGO ILLEGALLY REMOVED A WALL TO TRICK THE CITY. >> THE PREVIOUS TENANT WON ON THE RECORD IN THE PRESS SAYING THAT MUCH WHEN WE

HAVE SOMEONE ON THE RECORD SAYING THAT A WALL WAS ILLEGALLY ILLEGALLY REMOVED TO EVADE A CITY INSPECTION WE HAVE VERY LIMITED OPTIONS TO HOLD THE RESPONSIBLE PARTIES ACCOUNTABLE. AND THIS OF COURSE

CAUSES REAL HARM TO THE OWNERS, TO THE TENANTS DECADES LATER WHO WILL HAVE TO BEAR THE COST CAUSED BY ILLEGAL CONSTRUCTION. >> SO THAT'S WHY TODAY I AM INTRODUCING LEGISLATION TO STRENGTHEN AND RENAME

THE EXPANDED COMPLIANCE CONTROL PROGRAM. FIRST WE'RE CHANGING THE NAME OF THIS PROGRAM TO THE COMPLIANCE OVERSIGHT PROGRAM SO THE PUBLIC CAN BETTER UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS LIST IS ACTUALLY INTENDED TO

DO. >> CURRENTLY THE PROGRAM IS FOCUSED ON BUILDING CODE VIOLATIONS WITH VERY LIMITED TYPES OF PLANNING CODE VIOLATIONS THAT CAN BE COUNTED TOWARDS IT. SO OUR LEGISLATION WILL NOW GIVE THE PLANNING

DEPARTMENT MORE DISCRETION TO ALLOW THOSE WHO VIOLATE THE PLANNING CODE TO ALSO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE. OUR LEGISLATION WILL ALSO SPELL OUT THAT THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT IS INVOLVED INVOLVEMENT IN THE

PROCESS INCLUDING PLANNING STAFF'S PRESENCE AT RELEVANT FINAL INSPECTIONS AND THE PLANNING DIRECTOR'S CONSULTATION FOR FINAL DETERMINATION IN CASES THAT INVOLVE BOTH CODES. WE'RE ALSO PROVIDING MORE

DISCRETION FOR THE DEPARTMENT TO DETERMINE A VIOLATION TO BE EGREGIOUS ENOUGH TO WARRANT LISTING. NEXT WE WILL EXTEND THE TIMELINE FOR VIOLATIONS THAT CAN BE CONSIDERED FOR LISTING UP TO 48 MONTHS

INSTEAD OF 18 MONTHS. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO CATCH PEOPLE WHO DO REPEATED VIOLATIONS OVER MULTIPLE YEARS EVEN IF THEY AREN'T IN QUICK SUCCESSION OF ONE ANOTHER. >> THESE CHANGES WILL FUNCTIONALLY WORK

WITHIN THE EXISTING FRAMEWORK THAT TBI AND PLANNING ALREADY HAVE FOR THE PROGRAM MONTHLY REVIEWS WILL TRACK FILES CONTINUE TO BE DONE WITH STAFF FOR BOTH DEPARTMENTS AND THE BUILDING INSPECTION

COMMISSION WILL CONTINUE TO BE THE BODY THAT HEARS THESE CASES AND MAKES RECOMMENDATION TO THE GBI DIRECTOR WHO WILL MAKE THE FINAL DETERMINATION. I WANT TO THANK MICHELLE ANDREWS IN MY OFFICE FOR HER

WORK IN CRAFTING THIS LEGISLATION WITH PARTNERSHIP FROM PLANNING AND DEPARTMENT OF BUILDING INSPECTION. PARTICULARLY TO HANNAH KELLY WONG AND MATT GREENE. THANKS AS WELL TO ROB COPPOLA AND THE CITY

ATTORNEY'S OFFICE. I LOOK FORWARD TO ADVANCING THIS LEGISLATION IN APPRECIATE SUPERVISORS MELGAR AND CHERYL FOR THEIR EARLY CO-SPONSORSHIP AND THE REST I SUBMIT. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR SAUDER LET'S DO

ONE MORE ABOUT THEM. THANK YOU, MR. PRESIDENT. >> SUPERVISOR CHERYL. THANK YOU. I'VE BEEN IN MEMORIAM TODAY. COLLEAGUES TODAY I WOULD LIKE TO RECOGNIZE MY FRIEND AND COLLEAGUE ON THE RETIREMENT BOARD,

LEONA BRIDGES, WHO PASSED AWAY SUDDENLY ON TUESDAY ,SEPTEMBER 27TH. LEONA LEAVES BEHIND A LEGACY OF LEADERSHIP AND SERVICE TO SAN FRANCISCO AS A MODEL PUBLIC SERVANT, FINANCIAL EXECUTIVE AND DEVOTED

COMMUNITY LEADER RENOWNED FOR HER BRILLIANT MIND AND UNMATCHED DEDICATION TO PEOPLE. HER PASSING LEAVES A VOID ACROSS THE CIVIC, FINANCIAL AND CHARITABLE LANDSCAPES OF THE BAY AREA. LEONA BROKE

BARRIERS IN THE FINANCIAL WORLD SPENDING MORE THAN TWO DECADES AS A POWERHOUSE EXECUTIVE AS A MANAGING DIRECTOR FOR BARCLAYS GLOBAL INVESTORS. SHE MASTERED ASSET MANAGEMENT, GLOBAL SECURITIES LENDING

AND BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT. HER PROFESSIONAL BRILLIANCE EARNED HER DEEP RESPECT ACROSS THE INDUSTRY, RESULTING IN PRESTIGIOUS HONORS SUCH AS THE SAN FRANCISCO BUSINESS TIMES MOST INFLUENTIAL WOMEN IN

THE BAY AREA BUSINESS AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF SECURITIES PROFESSIONALS EAGLE AWARD IN 2024. BUT HER TRUE PASSION LAY IN USING HER KNOWLEDGE TO PROTECT AND EMPOWER OTHERS. >> SHE DEDICATED

YEARS OF SERVICE TO THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO SERVING AS A VOICE FOR THE MUNICIPAL WORKFORCE. SHE SERVED AS A DIRECTOR OF THE FOR THE SAN FRANCISCO MUNICIPAL TRANSPORTATION AGENCY, THE SAN

FRANCISCO PARKING AUTHORITY COMMISSIONER AND MOST RECENTLY AS THE INTERIM BOARD PRESIDENT OF THE SAN FRANCISCO EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM. BUT HER IMPACT REACHED FAR BEYOND CITY LIMITS. SHE LENT HER

EXPERTISE TO THE CALIFORNIA STATE UNIVERSITY SYSTEM'S INVESTMENT ADVISORY COMMITTEE AND WAS RECOMMENDED BY SPEAKER EMERITA NANCY PELOSI TO PRESIDENT JOE BIDEN TO SERVE ON THE FEDERAL RETIREMENT THRIFT

INVESTMENT BOARD. AN ALUMNA OF SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY, SHE ESTABLISHED A PERMANENT ENDOWED SCHOLARSHIP TO BREAK DOWN EDUCATIONAL AND ECONOMIC BARRIERS FOR STUDENTS IN NEED EARNING HER A PLACE

IN THE UNIVERSITY'S ALUMNI HALL OF FAME. AND HER FIERCE ADVOCACY FOR SOCIAL JUSTICE IS SEEN THROUGH HER DECADES OF WORK WITH THE DELTA SIGMA THETA SORORITY SERVING ON THE CITY'S NATIONAL SOCIAL ACTION

COMMISSION AND THE BOARD OF THE DELTA RESEARCH AND EDUCATIONAL FOUNDATION. LEONA ANCHORED GENERATIONS OF YOUNG WOMEN. SHE BROUGHT HER FORMIDABLE FINANCIAL ACUMEN STRAIGHT TO THE COMMUNITY UPLIFTING

FAMILIES IMPACTED BY GUN VIOLENCE, ORGANIZING COMMUNITY INITIATIVES AND ENSURING THAT MARGINALIZED VOICES ALWAYS HAD A SEAT AT THE TABLE. BUT THOSE ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE NOT EVEN CLOSE TO EVERYTHING

THAT LEONA WAS. SHE WAS KIND. SHE WAS INTERESTED IN YOU. SHE MADE YOU FEEL SEEN. SHE WAS A PATIENT MENTOR THAT EVERYONE WISHES THEY COULD HAVE AND I DID. I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL FOR HER FRIENDSHIP FOR

RECOGNIZING THAT I NEEDED GUIDANCE AND GIVING IT WITHOUT EVER MAKING ME FEEL LIKE I OWED HER ANYTHING. YET I LIKE SO MANY OTHERS, OWED HER QUITE A BIT AS HER SPIRIT, DELTA SAID OF SIGMA. EVANS SAID.

LEONA BELIEVED THAT BEING BLESSED MEANT HAVING A RESPONSIBILITY TO BECOME A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE. I KNOW I'M NOT ALONE NOT IN SAN FRANCISCO AND NOT IN THIS CHAMBER AND LEONA BEING THAT BLESSING TO

ME AND HENCE THE MANTLE PASSES TO US TO BE A BLESSING TO OTHERS. WE EXTEND OUR DEEPEST CONDOLENCES TO HER FAMILY, HER COLLEAGUES AND TO THE COUNTLESS INDIVIDUALS WHOSE LIVES WERE CHANGED BY THE DOORS

SHE OPENED . >> THE REST I SUBMIT. THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR WE'RE GOING TO GO TO OUR 230 BED. SUPERVISOR WALTON DID YOU WANT TO SPEAK ON THAT OR. >> YES. THANK YOU. PRESIDENT AND I JUST WANT TO SAY THANK

YOU TO SUPERVISOR CHERYL FOR ACKNOWLEDGING THE DEATH OF LEON BRIDGES. SHE WAS A COMMITTED PUBLIC SERVANT, A LEADER IN THIS CITY AND A MENTOR TO SO MANY AND SOMEONE WHO SET AN EXAMPLE OF LEADING WITH

DIGNITY AND COMPASSION WHILE DISSEMINATING STRENGTH. AND SHE WILL BE MISSED AS ONE OF OUR SISTERS OF SAN FRANCISCO AND A MAJOR LEADER IN THE BLACK COMMUNITY. THANK YOU PRESIDENT MEDMEN. SHALL WE DO

THAT FROM THE FULL BOARD? I WOULD LOVE FOR THAT. SO ON MY MOTION WILL DO HAVE THAT COME FROM THE FLOOR FROM SUPERVISOR SHERYL. >> AND ONE AND ON BEHALF OF THE FULL BOARD. ALL RIGHT, MADAM CLERK,

PLEASE GO TO OUR PLEASE TAKE US TO OUR 2:30 P.M. SPECIAL ORDER THE SPECIAL ORDER A 2:30 P.M. IS THE RECOGNITION OF COMMENDATIONS FOR MERITORIOUS SERVICE TO THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO. >> AND

CITY AND IN PARTICULAR THE MISSION DISTRICT. DIANA PONCE DE LEON HAS WORKED AT IT FOR 14 YEARS, RECENTLY APPOINTED AS THE ACTING DIRECTOR OF WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT. >> HER WORK HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN

BRINGING RESOURCES TO UNDERSERVED COMMUNITIES IN SAN FRANCISCO. AND THIS LEADERSHIP ROLE MARKS HER LATEST CHAPTER IN A LIFELONG COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY ADVOCACY AND PUBLIC SERVICE. DIANA HOLDS A B.A.

IN INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT FROM UC BERKELEY AND A MASTER'S IN CITY PLANNING FROM M.I.T.. HER APPROACH TO URBAN PLANNING IS GROUNDED IN A PROFOUND BELIEF THAT EVERY NEIGHBORHOOD INHERENTLY POSSESSES

THE RESILIENCE AND CAPABILITY NEEDED TO SUCCEED. GROWING UP IN AN AREA FACING DEEP SYSTEMIC BARRIERS, DIANA SAW FIRSTHAND HOW THE PHYSICAL AND ECONOMIC REALITIES OF A NEIGHBORHOOD DIRECTLY SHAPED THE

LIFE OF LIVES OF ITS RESIDENTS. >> THAT LIVED EXPERIENCE DROVE HER TO STUDY URBAN PLANNING AND CONTINUES TO ANCHOR HER DAILY WORK AND HER CORE OPERATING PRINCIPLE THAT ACCESS CREATES VISION. WHETHER

SHE IS DESIGNING GRANT PROGRAMS TO HELP SMALL BUSINESSES GROW EXPANDING CAREER PATHWAYS FOR INDIVIDUALS FACING THE HIGHEST BARRIERS AND EMPLOYMENT OR ENSURING THAT SAN FRANCISCANS HAVE A DIRECT STAKE

NEIGHBORHOODS. AS A LEADER WITH IWD, RAFAEL LEADS ECONOMIC STRATEGIES AND IMPLEMENTATION ACROSS SOME OF THE CITY'S MOST DIVERSE COMMUNITIES INCLUDING THE MISSION MID-MARKET EXCELSIOR AND OUR CULTURAL

SMALL BUSINESSES IN THE MISSION. RAFAEL HAS PLAYED A KEY ROLE IN SHAPING SAN FRANCISCO'S CULTURAL DISTRICT MOVEMENT CONTRIBUTING TO THE ADVANCEMENT OF CULTURAL DISTRICTS INCLUDING GOING TO QUATRO AND

THE AMERICAN INDIAN CULTURAL DISTRICT. AS A CITY LEADER FROM THE COMMUNITY. HE LIVES AND WORKS IN TODAY. RAFA HAS WITNESSED FIRSTHAND ALL OF THE CHANGES AND DISPLACEMENT THAT THE MISSION DISTRICT AND

SAN FRANCISCO HAVE EXPERIENCED OVER THE YEARS. >> THIS PERSONAL HISTORY HAS BEEN CRITICAL IN HOW HE APPROACHES HIS WORK FOR IWD AS HE EXPLAINS IT. HIS WORK IS GROUNDED IN THE BELIEF THAT THRIVING

NEIGHBORHOODS REQUIRE BOTH ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY AND A COMMITMENT TO PRESERVING THE CULTURE, HISTORY AND IDENTITY THAT MAKE EACH COMMUNITY UNIQUE. >> BEYOND HIS WORK IN CITY GOVERNMENT, RAFA SERVES ON

THE BOARD OF INSTITUTO FAMILIAS DE LA RAZA, A LOCAL ORGANIZATION THAT SUPPORTS THE MENTAL HEALTH AND WELLNESS OF LATINO INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES THROUGHOUT SAN FRANCISCO. >> AS A PROUD FATHER AND

CITYWIDE TO THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS SUSAN LIAO WHO YOU WILL BE HONORING LATER. BUT IF I COULD I HAVE JOSE COME UP PLEASE SO MUCH OF THIS CELEBRATION, SO MUCH OF THE CELEBRATION IS ABOUT OUR PEOPLE'S

RESISTANCE TO TYRANNY ,THE RESILIENCY THROUGH OPPRESSION, THE FIGHT TO KEEP OUR DIGNITY, OUR STORIES, OUR LANGUAGES, OUR LEGACY IS ALIVE WHILE THOSE IN POWER KEEP AIMING FOR THE ERASURE OF OUR

CONTRIBUTIONS THAT WHAT WE HAVE MADE TO SOCIETY, OUR CULTURE, OUR WORLD WE HONOR OUR PAST THIS MAN, THE ANCESTORS WHO MADE IT POSSIBLE FOR US TO BE HERE AND THE DESCENDANTS THAT MOTIVATE US TO PURSUE

A BETTER FUTURE. WE HONOR THAT FUTURE BY OPENING THE DOORS AND RAISING A PLATFORM FOR YOUNGER LEADERS IN THE MOVEMENT AND JOSE IS ONE OF THOSE LEADERS. IT IS MY DISTINCT HONOR TO RECOGNIZE JOSE

DOMINGUEZ CHAN WITH THIS SPECIAL COMMENDATION. SO LET ME TELL YOU A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THIS WONDERFUL WOMAN JOSE GREW UP AND STOCKTON, CALIFORNIA AND CAME TO SAN FRANCISCO IN 2001. SHE THEN MAJORED IN

BROADCAST ELECTRONIC COMMUNICATION ARTS AT SAN FRANCISCO STATE UNIVERSITY. >> GO GATORS MIND GO GATORS. I'M ALSO PROUD TO GRADUATE AS AN UNDERGRAD STUDENT. SHE WON THE COMMUNITY SERVICE AWARD FOR HER

LEADERSHIP, SERVICE AND COLLABORATION TO STRENGTHEN THE BONDS OF ENGAGEMENT THAT CONNECT THE UNIVERSITY AND THE COMMUNITY. JOSE WORKED FOR THE ENVIRONMENT DEPARTMENT ON THE SCHOOL EDUCATION TEAM AND

WON THE GOVERNOR'S ENVIRONMENTAL AND ECONOMIC LEADERSHIP AWARD FROM THE CALIFORNIA ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY AND ZERO WASTE ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FROM THE CALIFORNIA RESOURCE RECOVERY ASSOCIATION AT

A VERY YOUNG AGE, JOSE IS A PROUD AND A MEXICAN-AMERICAN SAN FRANCISCO AMBASSADOR. SHE HAS TAUGHT OTHERS ABOUT HER CULTURE IN ALL OF THE GREAT WORK ACCOMPLISHED IN THE CITY WHILE PURSUING HER MASTER'S

OF SCIENCE DEGREE IN LONDON, ENGLAND AND WHILE TEACHING IN CHINA IN TAIWAN AND IN SPAIN. JOSE CURRENTLY WORKS AT THE SAN FRANCISCO MTA AT SAN FRANCISCO PROGRAM YAY IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WALK S.F. AND

THE SAN FRANCISCO BICYCLE COALITION IN HER ROLE SHE HELPS STUDENTS AND FAMILIES ACROSS THE CITY LEARN AND USE SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORTATION MODES. HAVING FUN WHILE WALKING, BIKING, TAKING PUBLIC TRANSIT

AND CARPOOLING TO AND FROM SCHOOL. SHE ALSO VOLUNTEER WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO EDUCATION FUND AND HAS SERVED ON LOCAL NONPROFIT BOARDS SUCH AS CALIFORNIA CLIMATE ACTION NOW PRINCESS PROJECT AND OTHERS

WHO ADVOCATE FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT FOR FUTURE GENERATION. IN 2025, JOSE CO-FOUNDED SAN FRANCISCO LATINA SOCIAL CLUB. >> THE GOAL AND THE MISSION OF THE CLUB IS TO GATHER LATINA IN

FRIENDSHIP AND JOY WHILE SUPPORTING LOCAL LATINA OWNED BUSINESSES IN THE CITY. JOSE IS A NATURAL ORGANIZER AND TRULY EMBODIES THE BELIEF THAT WE ARE ONLY AS STRONG AS THE TIES WE HAVE WITH EACH OTHER.

SHE IS A MENTOR TO OTHER YOUNG PEOPLE AND KEEPS AN EYE OUT FOR THE CHILDREN AND FAMILIES IN HER NEIGHBORHOOD. WHEN PROPERTY MANAGEMENT DID NOT STEP IN TO ASSURE THE SAFETY OF CHILDREN GETTING HARASSED

ON THE STREETS, SHE STEPPED IN TO HELP THEM NAVIGATE HOW TO STAY SAFE WHILE WAITING FOR USING PUBLIC TRANSIT. I AM SO PROUD OF JAZZ'S LEADERSHIP IN ENVIRONMENTAL AND CLIMATE ISSUES TRANSIT AND

PEDESTRIAN ACCESS AND SAFETY AND EMPOWERING OTHER LATINO WOMEN. I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE WHAT YOUR FUTURE HOLDS. JOSE AND I AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND LOOK FORWARD TO YOUR LEADERSHIP. >> THANK YOU AND

SUPERVISOR MAHMUD. >> SUPERVISOR I AM VERY JEALOUS THAT YOU TOOK MY CONSTITUENT THAT SHE HAD TO MOVE OUT OF MY DISTRICT BUT I'LL SHARE A FEW WORDS ABOUT JOSE. JOSE AND I USED TO BE NEIGHBORS IN THE

SAME BUILDING AND THE TILE AND THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT I MISS AND THERE'S MANY THINGS THAT I DON'T BECAUSE SHE STILL FEELS LIKE A RESIDENT OF THE TILE. SO MANY DAYS OF THE WEEK I WILL MISS NOT

HEARING ABOUT EVERYTHING HAPPENING IN MY BUILDING. I WOULD WALK IN IN THE MORNING OR THE EVENING AND BE LIKE AND SHE WOULD TELL ME ALL THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED IN THE BUILDING AND I HAD NO IDEA. I

WILL MISS TALKING ABOUT COMIC BOOKS WITH RON HER HUSBAND. HE HAS THE MUCH LARGER SUPPLY THAN I DO ON A BOOKCASE. >> BUT I THINK WHAT WHAT I DON'T MISS IS HER COMMITMENT TO THE TENDERLOIN NEIGHBORHOOD

AND TO THE FAMILIES BECAUSE SHE IS STILL DOING THAT WORK EVERY DAY. I REMEMBER ONE OF THE FIRST FIRST TIMES I MET HER WAS ACTUALLY AT A STREET FAIR WHERE I ENDED UP SITTING ON A BICYCLE THE BIKE

BLENDER AND JOSE WAS WAS MANNING THE MACHINE. >> SO IT'S ONE THING TO MEET SOMEONE WHILE YOU'RE BLENDING A SMOOTHIE ON TOP OF A BICYCLE BUT IT VERY SYMBOLICALLY REPRESENTS WHAT JOSE DOES WHICH IS

BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER THROUGH FUN, THROUGH BICYCLES AND THROUGH COMMUNITY. >> AND THEN SHE'S REGULARLY ACTIVE AS PROBABLY ONE OF THE FIERCEST ADVOCATES FOR FAMILIES AND CHILDREN THAT ARE REGULARLY

VOLUNTEERS AND WORKS AT THE COMMUNITY SCHOOL DIFFERENT STREET FAIRS. >> AND IT REALLY THAT NEIGHBORHOOD REALLY NEEDS SOMEONE WHO CAN ADVOCATE FOR THOSE FAMILIES AND THEIR CHILDREN ON PUBLIC SAFETY ON

STREET HOMELESSNESS, ON EDUCATION. AND I HAVEN'T SEEN ANY STRONGER CHAMPION WHO SHOWS UP IN EVERY SPACE THAT NEEDS TO HAVE A VOICE. AND SO THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MELGAR FOR HONORING AND THANK YOU JOSE

PLANET AND NOT ONLY THAT BUT HOW SOCIALIZING IS PART OF WELLNESS AND BELONGING. >> I WANT TO THANK ALONDRA, MY CO-FOUNDER OF THE SAFE LATINA SOCIAL CLUB. SHE IS IN THE AUDIENCE TODAY AS WELL. AND I

COULDN'T HAVE DONE THIS WORK AND WOULDN'T WANT ANYONE ELSE TO DO THE WORK. >> WE'RE WITH OUR CLUB. WE'RE ABLE TO SUPPORT LATINA OWNED BUSINESSES AND I INVITE ALL OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO USE OUR

MAP. >> THERE ARE LATINA OWNED BUSINESSES ON THE MAP IN EVERY SINGLE DISTRICT. PLEASE SUPPORT THEM. PLEASE GO AND LEAVE REVIEWS BECAUSE THOSE REVIEWS ARE POSITIVE THINGS THAT HELP TO GET THE WORD OUT

AND HAVE OTHERS COME TO VISIT THEM AS WELL. >> AND THIS MAP IS ALSO SO POWERFUL BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT PEOPLE ALL OVER THE WORLD COME TO SAN FRANCISCO AND THEY COME HERE TO EXPERIENCE WHAT OUR LATINA

CULTURE HAS TO OFFER. SO BY SUPPORTING THESE BUSINESSES WE HAVE SO MUCH JOY WITH OUR FRIENDS AND HELPING THEM TO CREATE A LEGACY HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO AS WELL. >> THE WORK THAT WE DO WITH OUR

BUSINESSES IS ALSO VERY MEANINGFUL FOR ME BECAUSE MY MOM WAS AN ENTREPRENEUR SO EVERY TIME I MEET A LATINA OWNED BUSINESS OWNER IT REMINDS ME HOW I CAN PAY IT FORWARD TO MY MOM WHO'S PASSED AWAY. >>

THE MESSAGE THAT I HAVE FOR ALL LATINAS IN SAN FRANCISCO IS THAT OUR JOY IS POWERFUL. OUR JOY IS OUR RESILIENCE AND OUR JOY. AND OUR VOTES MATTER. >> IF YOU KNOW ME THEN YOU KNOW I WOULDN'T BE UP HERE

TODAY WITHOUT HAVING A CALL TO ACTION. >> SO MY CALL TO ACTION FOR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND FOR MAYOR DANIEL MURRAY IS TO GO BOLD ON CLIMATE. MAKE SAN FRANCISCO A LEADER ON CLIMATE FOR FUTURE

BRING TOGETHER LOWRIDER CLUBS AND SOLO RIDERS FROM ACROSS THE BAY AREA AND TO PRESERVE AND CELEBRATE ART ALSO CULTURE AND THE COMMUNITY OF LOW RIDING. >> BUT LOW RIDING HAS ALSO HAS ALWAYS REPRESENTED

SO MUCH MORE THAN CARS. BORN FROM MIXING MEXICAN-AMERICAN AND LATINO WORKING CLASS COMMUNITIES, LOW RIDING BECAME A POWERFUL FORM OF CULTURAL EXPRESSION A WAY FOR PEOPLE TO CELEBRATE THEIR IDENTITY,

CREATIVITY, PRIDE AND RESILIENCE IN THE FACE OF DISCRIMINATION AND EXCLUSION. AND HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO THAT CULTURE BECAME DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE FIGHT FOR CIVIL RIGHTS, SOCIAL JUSTICE AND THE RIGHT

TO BE SEEN AND CELEBRATED IN OUR OWN CITY. FOR MORE THAN FOUR DECADES THE LOWRIDER COUNCIL HAS ADVOCATED FOR THE RIGHT TO CRUISE ON OUR STREETS WHILE ALSO STANDING UP FOR ISSUES THAT MATTER TO WORKING

FAMILIES AND OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES. FROM FARMWORKER RIGHTS AND HOUSING JUSTICE TO IMMIGRATION REFORM AND RACIAL JUSTICE, THE COUNCIL HAS ALSO SHOWN THAT COMMUNITY SERVICE IS AT THE HEART OF

LOWRIDER CULTURE. DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC COUNCIL MEMBERS STEPPED UP TO SUPPORT THE LATINO TASK FORCE AND MISSION FOOD HUB VOLUNTEERING THEIR TIME RAISING FUNDS AND HELPING DELIVER FOOD TO

ESSENTIAL WORKERS AND FAMILIES WHO WERE STRUGGLING. >> AND OF COURSE THE COUNCIL HAS HELPED BRING LOWRIDER CULTURE INTO THE BROADER CIVIC AND CULTURAL LIFE OF SAN FRANCISCO FROM MAJOR CITY

TOUR DRIVES, FOR YOUR VOLUNTEER HOURS AND YOUR CRUISES. FOR 45 YEARS YOU HAVE SHOWN US THAT THESE BEAUTIFUL CARS ARE NOT SIMPLY VEHICLES. THEY CARRY HISTORY. THEY CARRY CULTURE. THEY CARRY STORIES OF

SAID MAN, WE SHOULD DO OUR OWN CRUISE HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND WE DID IN SAN FRANCISCO IN THE MISSION AND DISTRICT OUR MISSION HISTORY BECAME I MEAN AT ONE POINT YOU COULD NOT GO FROM 16TH ALL THE

WAY TO CORTLAND AVENUE WAS BUMPER TO BUMPER PEOPLE PLAYING THEIR MUSIC PEOPLE COMING OUT ON A STREET TO SEE US. >> WE HAD JAPANESE TOUR BUSSES THAT WOULD COME OUT AND AND TAKE PHOTOS OF LOWRIDERS IN

THE LATE 70S AND THEN THE POLICE CAME AND THE STORY GOES LIKE THIS THEY STARTED WARNING US NOW TO CRUISE ANYMORE. WE DIDN'T PAY ATTENTION TO THAT BECAUSE WE WEREN'T DOING ANYTHING ILLEGAL THEN THEY

STARTED CITING US AND WE ORGANIZED AND WE STARTED GOING TO COURT AND FIGHTING EVERY TICKET AND WE'D WIN IN COURT. THEY GOT HIP TO THAT SO THEN WE WERE THREATENED TO BE ARRESTED AND WE GOT ARRESTED. I

GOT ARRESTED 113 TIMES. I GOT BEAT UP THREE TIMES AT MISSION POLICE STATION AND WAS TOLD NOT TO GO CRUISING AND THEN THEY STARTED IMPOUNDING OUR CARS PURE 70 IT WAS LIKE EVERY WEEKEND WE WOULD GO TO

WAS A PROBLEM BUT NOBODY WAS WILLING TO DO NOTHING ABOUT IT AND WE KNOW THAT STORY TOO OFTEN WHERE EVERYBODY KNOWS WHAT THE PROBLEM IS BUT NOBODY'S WILLING TO STEP UP AND STEP UP AND DO SOMETHING

ABOUT IT. >> SO WE DID. WE ORGANIZED AND I WANT TO THANK ALL THE LAWYERS, LAW STUDENTS, THE 316 VOLUNTEERS THAT STARTED DOCUMENTING WHAT WAS GOING ON AND THAT OVER A YEAR WE WENT TO FEDERAL COURT AND

FILED THE CIVIL RIGHTS VIOLATION LAWSUIT IN FEDERAL COURT AND WE WON AND THAT'S HOW WE WON THE RIGHT TO CRUISE. BUT WE DIDN'T JUST STOP THERE, YOU KNOW, WE STOOD UP AS BROTHER WATSON SAID WE WERE PART

OF THE FIGHT TO MAKE SAN FRANCISCO A SANCTUARY CITY. WE WERE PART OF GETTING IDS STATEWIDE AND DRIVER'S LICENSE FOR OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITY. >> WE WERE PART OF THE ALEX NIETO JUSTICE COMMITTEE. WE

ON AT THE TIME IN OUR COMMUNITY IN THE MURDERS OF OUR BLACK AND BROWN PEOPLE IN OUR CITY AND WE WERE HERE WE WERE PRESENT. >> SO WE BEEN PART OF A LOT OF MOVEMENTS LIKE BROTHER WATSON SAID, YOU KNOW,

WAS BORN IN PUERTO RICO AND IS AN AWARD WINNING JOURNALIST. SHE EARNED HER BACHELOR OF ARTS IN JOURNALISM FROM THE UNIVERSITY OF ALABAMA AND A MASTER'S DEGREE IN MASS COMMUNICATIONS FROM THE

UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. >> NOW PERHAPS MOST IMPORTANTLY DURING FOOTBALL SEASON YOU CAN ABSOLUTELY FIND HER CHEERING ON HER BELOVED CRIMSON TIDE ROLL TIDE. >> SHE HAS WORKED IN SAN JUAN, PUERTO RICO

IN 1999 WHERE SHE WHEN SHE WAS HONORED FOR NICKLAUS'S GIFT OF LIFE. >> YET DESPITE THOSE HONORS I THINK IT'S FAIR TO SAY PERHAPS HER GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENTS ARE HER CHILDREN MAX BAXTER AND ASHLEY. >>

BUT TODAY I'M ESPECIALLY RECOGNIZING LEANN FOR HER WORK ON BUILDING A BETTER BAY AREA WHICH IS INCREDIBLY THOUGHTFUL REPORTING THAT ELEVATES THE QUALITY OF LIFE ISSUES THAT WE ALL CONFRONT AS

RESIDENTS AND AS ELECTED OFFICIALS EVERY DAY AND ARE CHARGED WITH SOLVING. IT IS HER ATTENTION TO THE EVERYDAY DETAILS THAT MATTER TO EACH ONE OF US THAT CONTINUES TO IMPRESS ME AND SO MANY OTHERS DAY

IN AND DAY OUT. AND AS WE ALL KNOW IN THIS CURRENT CLIMATE A FREE PRESS PLAYS A CRITICAL ROLE AS THE WATCHDOGS OF DEMOCRACY AND PROTECTORS OF THE PUBLIC INTEREST. >> THEREFORE IT IS WITH INCREDIBLE

HONOR AND EXCITEMENT QUITE FRANKLY THAT I RECOGNIZE LEANN MENDEZ FOR LATINO HERITAGE MONTH. >> AND NOW I'D ASK US ALL TO METAPHORICALLY RAISE A GLASS OF LEANN'S FAMOUS COQUITO AND COMMENDING YOU ON

BLACK EYE YOU KNOW, WITH AT THE END OF THE DAY WE'RE A BETTER CITY FOR IT. AND I JUST REALLY APPRECIATE THE WORK THAT YOU DO AND I WOULD I THINK IT BEARS MENTIONING AS MY COLLEAGUE SUPERVISOR CHERYL

EXPERIENCE. AND I REALLY I VALUE THAT SO IT'S BEEN AN HONOR TO REPRESENT YOU. >> THANK YOU. I'LL BE BRIEF BECAUSE I'M USUALLY NOT USED TO BEING ON THIS SIDE OF THE MICROPHONE. BUT THANK YOU

NONETHELESS. SUPERVISOR CHERYL AND BOARD PRESIDENT MATT DAMON AND ALL THE BOARD MEMBERS HERE. AN INTERESTING THING WAS THAT LOOKING AT ALL THE PEOPLE THE RECIPIENTS I THINK I'VE INTERVIEWED ALL OF

THEM AT ONE POINT IN MY CAREER I'VE BEEN HERE 32 YEARS AND IT'S AN HONOR REALLY TO BE WITH THEM. AND IT'S AN HONOR TO REPRESENT JOURNALISTS AND I VOTED YOU AGAIN. ALL OF YOU AND THANK YOU FOR TRUSTING

ME AT THIS MOMENT IN TIME WHEN JOURNALISTS ARE UNDER FIRE AND MANY OF YOU DON'T KNOW THAT BEHIND THIS ROW OF SUPERVISORS ARE JOURNALISTS AND WE SHOULD ALL ACKNOWLEDGE THE GOOD WORK THAT THEY DO AND

THANK YOU TO YOU. >> SO I WAS RAISED IN NEW YORK CITY AT A TIME WHEN ASSIMILATION WAS A WAY TO CONFORM TO MAINSTREAM AMERICA. >> IT WASN'T ONLY PUERTO RICANS WHO CONFORMED. ITALIANS DID IT, GERMANS

DID IT. MANY LOST THEIR LANGUAGE. >> WE NEVER DID. ONE THING I REMEMBER AS A CHILD IS THAT REPRESENTATION IN MATTERS. >> AND GROWING UP IN NEW YORK CITY, THE ONLY HISPANICS FAMOUS HISPANICS I KNEW

WERE RITA MORENO WHICH BY THE WAY WAS FORCED TO USE DARK MAKEUP TO MAKE HER LOOK MORE AUTHENTIC. >> AND A MAN NAMED BILL MELENDEZ MAYBE YOU HAVE HEARD OF HIM. HE DIRECTED MOST OF THE PEANUTS

ANIMATIONS SPECIALS. >> I WAS SO PROUD WHEN I WOULD SEE HIS NAME POSTED. BILL MELENDEZ AND NO I AM NOT AFFILIATED OR RELATED TO BILL MELENDEZ. >> WHEN I WAS 11 YEARS OLD MY PARENTS MOVED BACK TO

PUERTO RICO. AND MY HUSBAND LIKES TO JOKE AND SAY YOU GUYS DID THE REVERSE COMMUTE. >> FOR ME IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT A VERY FORMATIVE TO MOVE BACK TO PUERTO RICO. >> I LIKE TO THINK THAT I TRULY BECAME

PUERTO RICAN WHEN I MOVED BACK TO THE ISLAND. >> BECAUSE WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOUR TEACHERS ALL YOUR TEACHERS ARE PUERTO RICAN. >> WHEN YOU SEE THAT YOUR DOCTOR, YOUR DENTIST OR THE JUDGES THERE ARE

PUERTO RICAN. WHEN YOUR NEXT DOOR NEIGHBOR IS A PUERTO RICAN ATTORNEY, WHEN YOUR BEST FRIEND'S FATHER IS A PUERTO RICAN CEO OF A MAJOR COMPANY, IT MATTERS. REPRESENTATION MATTERS. >> WHEN YOU SEE THAT

PEOPLE WHO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE YOU THEN THEY ARE SUCCESSFUL THEN YOU KNOW DEEP DOWN INSIDE THAT NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL INFERIOR. >> NO ONE CAN MAKE YOU FEEL ISOLATED. >> IT'S THEN THAT YOU REALIZE

THAT YOU OWE IT NOT ONLY TO THEM BUT TO YOURSELF. TO SUCCEED. AGAIN, REPRESENTATION MATTERS. ACKNOWLEDGING MY WORK TODAY AND I THANK YOU AGAIN IS SETTING THE STAGE FOR THE NEXT GENERATION OF LATINOS

BUSINESS TAKES COURAGE KEEPING IT GOING YEAR AFTER YEAR TAKES DEDICATION AND EARNING THE TRUST OF FAMILIES ACROSS GENERATIONS TAKES SOMETHING TRULY SPECIAL. VIRGINIA HAS DONE ALL THREE. SOME OF HER

CUSTOMERS FIRST WALKED THROUGH HER DOORS LOOKING FOR PROM FLOWERS. YEARS LATER THEY RETURNED FOR GRADUATION ARRANGEMENTS THEN WEDDING FLOWERS, THEN GIFTS AND FLOWERS TO WELCOME A NEW BABY. AND WHEN

FAMILIES LOST SOMEONE THEY LOVED VIRGINIA WAS THERE TO HELP THEM SAY GOODBYE. >> IMAGINE HOW MUCH OF A NEIGHBORHOOD'S HISTORY YOU HOLD WHEN YOU HAVE BEEN A PART OF SO MANY PEOPLE'S LIVES FOR THAT

LONG. >> BEHIND EVERY ARRANGEMENT IS SOMEONE'S CELEBRATION SOMEONE'S MEMORY OR SOMEONE THEY LOVE. VIRGINIA HAS BROUGHT HER OWN CARE TO EACH OF THOSE MOMENTS DESIGNING AND MAKING HER ARRANGEMENTS AND

GIFTS BY HAND. FOR HER DAUGHTER ELIZABETH THE SHOP WAS ALSO A PLACE TO GROW UP. SHE REMEMBERS DOING HOMEWORK IN THE BACK WHILE REGULAR CUSTOMERS STOPPED BY TO WISH HER GOOD LUCK ON HER EXAMS. THE

MERCHANTS ALONG IRVING STREET BECAME LIKE AUNTIES AND UNCLES SURROUNDING HER OF ENCOURAGEMENT AND CARE. THAT IS THE KIND OF NEIGHBORHOOD WE TREASURE IN THE SUNSET A PLACE WHERE YOU KNOW YOUR FAMILY

REMEMBER YOUR CHILDREN AND TAKE A MOMENT OUT OF THEIR DAY TO ASK HOW YOU ARE DOING. >> VIRGINIA'S SHOP HAS HELPED KEEP THAT SPIRIT ALIVE. IN 2014 VIRGINIA MOVED SNB COLLECTIONS TO JUDITH STREET AND

CONTINUE TO SERVING THE COMMUNITY SHE KNEW AND LOVED. THROUGH THAT MOVE AND THE CHALLENGES OF RUNNING A SMALL BUSINESS SHE KEPT SHOWING UP FOR HER CUSTOMERS. VIRGINIA I HOPE YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THAT

AREA WE THRIVE WITH ALONG WITH OUR CUSTOMER. WE FIRST STARTED AS A BABY CLOTHING STORE IN 1992 BABY GROWING UP. THEN WE STOPPED SELLING HELLO KITTY POKEMON'S BEANIE BABY PRECIOUS MOMENT. THEY ALWAYS

>> DISTRICT FIVE SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD. >> COLLEAGUES TODAY I AM PROUD TO RECOGNIZE THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA AS IT CELEBRATES ITS 32ND ANNIVERSARY COMING

CONSIDERING FOR MORE THAN THREE DECADES CARE HAS BEEN A CRITICAL VOICE FOR THE BAY AREA'S MUSLIM COMMUNITY WORKING TO PROTECT CIVIL RIGHTS, DEFEND RELIGIOUS FREEDOM AND MAKE SURE MUSLIM FAMILIES HAVE

A PLACE AT THE TABLE. >> CARE'S WORK IS ESPECIALLY IMPORTANT AT A TIME WHEN MUSLIM COMMUNITIES CONTINUE TO FACE DISCRIMINATION ISLAMOPHOBIA AND ATTACKS ON THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS. >> CARE PROVIDES CRITICAL

LEGAL SUPPORT AND IMMIGRANT IMMIGRATION DEFENSE TO MEMBERS OF THE MUSLIM COMMUNITY AND OTHERS ACROSS THE BAY AREA. HELPING PEOPLE NAVIGATE SOME OF THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL AND DIFFICULT MOMENTS OF THEIR

LIVES. >> THEY'RE ALSO THERE WHEN COMMUNITIES NEED THEM MOST. WHETHER RESPONDING TO ISLAMOPHOBIC INCIDENTS, SUPPORTING FAMILIES WHEN CHILDREN EXPERIENCE HATE CRIMES OR STANDING WITH COMMUNITIES

FOLLOWING THE ATTACKS ON MOSQUES AND ISLAMIC INSTITUTIONS, CARE HAS CONSISTENTLY SERVED AS A FRONTLINE RESOURCE FOR PEOPLE WHO NEED SUPPORT AND ADVOCACY. >> BUT CARE'S WORK GOES BEYOND RESPONDING TO

DISCRIMINATION. THEY HAVE ALSO HELPED BUILD A STRONGER AND MORE CIVICALLY ENGAGED MUSLIM COMMUNITY ACROSS THE BAY AREA MOBILIZING THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE, PARTICIPATE IN OUR DEMOCRATIC

PROCESS AND ADVOCATE FOR POLICIES THAT AFFECT THEIR FAMILIES AND COMMUNITIES. I WAS PROBABLY TEN YEARS OLD WHEN I PROBABLY WENT TO MY FIRST CARE EVENT. >> CARE HAS ALSO PLAYED AN IMPORTANT ROLE IN

STATEWIDE ADVOCACY INCLUDING THIS YEAR'S MUSLIM DAY AT THE CAPITOL AND EFFORTS TO BRING MUSLIM COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS TOGETHER WITH STATE LEADERS AROUND LEGISLATION IMPORTANT TO MUSLIM FAMILIES AND

CARE HAS A LONG HISTORY OF PRINCIPLED ADVOCACY HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO . >> THE ORGANIZATION WAS PART OF THE COALITION THAT SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATED FOR US WITH PD TO WITHDRAW FROM THE FBI'S JOINT

TERRORISM TASK FORCE IN 2017 AND WAS ALSO PART OF THE BROAD COALITION THAT HELPED BRING SAN FRANCISCO'S CEASE FIRE RESOLUTION BEFORE THE BOARD IN 2020. >> FOR THESE MILESTONES REFLECT SOMETHING

FUNDAMENTAL ABOUT CARE'S ROLE IN OUR COMMUNITY. THEY DON'T JUST RESPOND WHEN PEOPLE ARE IN CRISIS. THEY ORGANIZE, ADVOCATE, EDUCATE AND HELP BUILD THE CIVIC POWER OF COMMUNITIES THAT HAVE TOO OFTEN

BEEN LEFT OUT OF THE CONVERSATION. >> FOR 32 YEARS CARE S.F. BAY AREA HAS HELPED MAKE THE BAY A PLACE WHERE MUSLIM RESIDENTS CAN LIVE OPENLY PARTICIPATE FULLY IN CIVIC LIFE AND KNOW THAT THERE ARE

PEOPLE AND INSTITUTIONS WILLING TO STAND WITH THEM WHEN THEIR RIGHTS ARE THREATENED. >> I'D ALSO LIKE TO ADDRESS A MOMENT TO RECOGNIZE HOW SALIENT THIS RECOGNITION IS. JUST LAST WEEK GOVERNOR RON

DESANTIS AND THE FLORIDA CABINET VOTED TO DESIGNATE CARE TO BE ON A WATCH LIST. >> TO THAT I SAY TWO THINGS ONE, RON DESANTIS CAN GO SCREW HIMSELF. >> AND THEN SECOND AS THE FIRST MUSLIM MEMBER OF THE

SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS ,I KNOW FIRSTHAND THE WORK CARE DOES AND THE DANGER THAT THIS KIND OF CHARACTERIZATION CARRIES. >> AND SO THAT IS EXACTLY WHY RECOGNITIONS LIKE TODAY'S MATTER AS A

GOVERNING BODY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS HAS A RESPONSIBILITY TO UPLIFT AND STAND WITH CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATIONS AND NOT LEND LEGITIMACY TO RACIST AND ISLAMOPHOBIC CLAIMS LIKE THE ONES THE SCIENTISTS

AND OTHER REPUBLICANS ARE ESPOUSING THAT THREATEN THIS VERY COMMUNITY AND THE ORGANIZATIONS IT REPRESENTS. >> ON BEHALF OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS, I WANT TO CONGRATULATE THE COUNCIL ON

AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA ON 32 YEARS OF SERVICE TO OUR COMMUNITY. >> THANK YOU TO EVERYONE TO CARE PAST AND PRESENT FOR THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE AND CONTINUE TO DO. PROUD TO

RECOGNIZE THIS ANNIVERSARY. I'M GRATEFUL FOR YOUR PARTNERSHIP AND EXCITED TO CONTINUE WORKING TOGETHER TO BUILD A SAN FRANCISCO WHERE EVERY COMMUNITY CAN FEEL SAFE, RESPECTED AND FULLY AT HOME. >>

CONGRATULATIONS ON 32 YEARS AND THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING THAT YOU DO. >> I WONDERED HOW I WOULD ADDRESS GOVERNOR DESANTIS RACE BUT I THINK YOU FOUND WORDS BETTER THAN MINE. >> SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD. >>

ASSALAMU ALAIKUM. GREETINGS OF PEACE. THANK YOU, SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD. THANK YOU TO YOUR STAFF AND THANK YOU TO THIS ENTIRE BOARD FOR THIS RECOGNITION. MY NAME IS ZAHRA BILLOO AND I AM THE EXECUTIVE

DIRECTOR OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA OFFICE OF CARE. THE COUNCIL ON AMERICAN-ISLAMIC RELATIONS. WE ARE THE NATION'S LARGEST AMERICAN MUSLIM CIVIL RIGHTS ORGANIZATION. >> AND I'LL TELL YOU THIS

RECOGNITION IS PERSONAL BECAUSE I STARTED MY LEGAL CAREER RIGHT HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO JUST A FEW BLOCKS AWAY. WHAT HAS NOW BEEN RENAMED U.S. LAW? I WALKED THE STREETS OF THE TENDERLOIN AND LEARNED TO

ACKNOWLEDGE HOW PRIVILEGED I WAS TO BECOME A LAWYER IN THIS BEAUTIFUL CITY TO HAVE ACCESS TO RESOURCES, A VOICE AND SO MANY ALLIES LIKE YOURSELVES. I DON'T REMEMBER HOW OLD I WAS WHEN I WENT TO THE

FIRST CARE EVENT. BUT WE'RE NOT GOING TO DO THAT MATH TODAY. >> CARE HAS BEEN DOING THIS WORK FOR MORE THAN 32 YEARS. OUR MISSION IS TO PROMOTE JUSTICE, ENHANCE THE UNDERSTANDING OF ISLAM AND EMPOWER

AMERICAN MUSLIMS. AND AS SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD ADDRESSED, WE DO THAT THROUGH LEGAL SERVICES MEDIA ENGAGEMENT ,ADVOCACY, COMMUNITY OUTREACH AND CIVIC ENGAGEMENT. THIS BOARD AND THIS COMMUNITY HAVE LONG

BEEN PARTNERS IN THAT WORK. MOST OF YOU WE PARTNERED WITH THE POLICE COMMISSION AND THE BOARD TO DISENTANGLE THE FBI AND THE LOCAL POLICE. IT TOOK US NEARLY A DECADE TO DO SO. BUT I STILL REMEMBER

THAT DAY IN 2017 WHEN WE AGREED THAT ENOUGH WAS ENOUGH AND THAT SAN FRANCISCO'S STANDARDS FOR CIVIL LIBERTIES SET THE MODEL FOR THE COUNTRY IF WE WOULD ABIDE BY THEM. WE PARTNERED WITH THE HUMAN

RIGHTS COMMISSION AND THIS BOARD TO RESPOND TO ANTI-MUSLIM BUS ADS WHEN THEY WERE FIRST SHOWING UP IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THEN ACROSS THE COUNTRY. THERE AGAIN WE RESPONDED WITH CIVIL RIGHTS IN MIND NOT

CENSORING SPEECH BUT RESPONDING TO BAD SPEECH WITH MORE SPEECH. AND IN RECENT YEARS WE'VE WORKED WITH THIS BOARD AND SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD TO ACKNOWLEDGE MUSLIM APPRECIATE THAT WORK MATTERS TODAY AS MUCH

AS IT DID WHEN I BEGAN MY CAREER IN 2009 AND WHEN CARE BEGAN ITS WORK IN 1994, EVEN BEFORE GOVERNOR DESANTIS TRIED TO OUTLAW OUR WORK, SENATOR TED CRUZ DARED TO TAKE OUR NAME ON CAPITOL HILL AND AN

ISLAMOPHOBIC HEARING. THOSE WORDS THOSE ACTIONS BY OTHER ELECTED OFFICIALS HAVE CONSEQUENCES. JUST A FEW WEEKS AGO PEW RESEARCH RELEASED A NEW REPORT ANTI-MUSLIM SENTIMENT IS WORSE TODAY THAN IT WAS

IN THE MONTHS IMMEDIATELY FOLLOWING THE 911 ATTACKS. 25 YEARS LATER AND SOMETIMES IT FEELS LIKE WE'RE GOING ONE STEP FORWARD AND TWO STEPS BACK. I KNOW THOUGH THAT LIKE ME, ALL OF YOU ARE TIRED OF

FIGHTING AGAINST WHAT WE DON'T WANT FIGHTING HARM AND RACISM AND BIGOTRY. I WANT US TO FOCUS ON A FUTURE THAT WE COULD LOOK FORWARD TO SOMETHING THAT WE HOPE OUR CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN WILL GROW

UP IN. AND IF I WERE TO DESCRIBE THAT TO YOU BRIEFLY, I WOULD SUGGEST IT'S A FUTURE WHERE WE ALL HAVE THE FREEDOM TO THRIVE IRRESPECTIVE OF OUR FAITH OR EVEN OUR POLITICAL PARTIES. >> AND I TAKE HEART

IN KNOWING THAT WE ARE NOT ALONE IN DOING THAT WORK. I'M JOINED TODAY BY SEVERAL COLLEAGUES FROM CARE AS WELL AS OUR NEWEST HUMAN RIGHTS COMMISSIONER, COMMISSIONER HUDSON, REPRESENTATIVES FROM SEIU,

THE LOCAL 21 OLIVE FOUNDATION, IMAM NYLE FROM THE HISTORIC SAN FRANCISCO MUSLIM COMMUNITY CENTER AND OUR BELOVED OKARA FAMILY. I THANK THEM FOR BEING HERE AND FOR STANDING WITH CARE AS WE DO THIS WORK

AND I THANK ALL OF YOU FOR DOING IT WITH US. SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD. WE LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO PARTNER WITH YOU. BOARD MEMBERS. WE LOOK FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU TO MEET YOUR MUSLIM CONSTITUENTS

TO ENSURE THAT EVERY MOSQUE IN THIS COMMUNITY KNOWS HOW TO REACH THEIR ELECTED OFFICIALS AND HOW TO GET HELP AND TO BUILDING A FUTURE THAT OUR CHILDREN, GRANDCHILDREN AND YES, EVEN OUR LONG STANDING,

LONG LIVING HEALTHY PETS CAN LOOK FORWARD TO. THANK YOU . DISTRICT SIX SUPERVISOR DORSEY . THANK YOU PRESIDENT RANDLEMAN. COLLEAGUES I TODAY HAVE THE HONOR OF RECOGNIZING AN ORGANIZATION THAT HAS

SPENT FOUR DECADES STANDING UP FOR IMMIGRANT FAMILIES STRENGTHENING OUR COMMUNITIES AND MAKING SAN FRANCISCO MORE WELCOMING, MORE JUST AND IN EVERY SENSE TRUER TO OUR ENDURING VALUES AS THE CITY OF

SAINT FRANCIS. I PROUDLY RECOGNIZE KERRISON IN THE CENTRAL AMERICAN RESOURCE CENTER OF NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AND IT'S EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LARISSA DUKE IN QUADRA. >> THE REASON I FEEL UP GARRISON'S STORY

IS DEEPLY CONNECTED TO THE HISTORY OF SAN FRANCISCO'S LATIN AMERICAN COMMUNITY. ITS FOUNDERS WERE ACTIVE IN THE RESISTANCE MOVEMENT THAT EMERGED IN THE 1970S IN RESPONSE TO PROFOUND POLITICAL AND

ECONOMIC INJUSTICES IN CENTRAL AMERICA. >> MANY WERE FORCED TO FLEE CIVIL WARS AND STATE VIOLENCE IN EL SALVADOR, GUATEMALA AND ELSEWHERE. SOME CAME TO SAN FRANCISCO AND IN 1986 THEY FOUNDED PATTERSON

TO SUPPORT CENTRAL AMERICANS WHO WERE FLEEING POLITICAL REPRESSION AND VIOLENCE. THEY BEGAN WITH VERY FEW RESOURCES BUT WITH EXTRAORDINARY DETERMINATION. AND I UNDERSTAND ONE OF THOSE FOUNDERS,

RICARDO CALDERON, IS STILL A PART OF CORAZON TODAY SERVING AS A SENIOR PARALEGAL FROM SOME SOME 40 YEARS LATER. CARISSA NOW SERVES THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE EACH YEAR THROUGH AN INCREDIBLE RANGE OF

PROGRAMS. IT'S IMMIGRATION LEGAL PROGRAM PROVIDES DROP IN CONSULTATIONS ,TATTOO REMOVAL DEFENSE RAPID RESPONSE AND COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION LEGAL SERVICES. KERRISON ALSO PROVIDES THE SECOND CHANCE

YOUTH PROGRAM A TATTOO REMOVAL CLINIC. FAMILY WELLNESS AND HEALTH PROMOTION PROGRAMS AND SERVICES FOR TRANSITIONAL AGE YOUTH FOCUSED ON CULTURAL AFFIRMATION LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT, MENTAL HEALTH

SUPPORT AND REDUCING ISOLATION AND AT A TIME WHEN OUR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES FACE MYRIAD UNCERTAINTIES AND UNPRECEDENTED LEVELS OF HOSTILITY FROM OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. CARSON CONTINUES TO STEP UP.

THEY HAVE WORKED WITH PARTNERS TO DEFEND DUE PROCESS AND CIVIL RIGHTS IN SAN FRANCISCO'S FEDERAL IMMIGRATION COURT. THEY HELP TO SECURE ADDITIONAL CITY FUNDING TO EXPAND LEGAL DEFENSE AND RAPID

RESPONSE SERVICES. AND THEY PROVIDED CLEAR AND TIMELY INFORMATION TO FAMILIES NAVIGATING CHANGES IN FEDERAL IMMIGRATION POLICIES. THEY ALSO RECENTLY HELPED ORGANIZE A CONSULAR SEMINAR WITH MORE THAN

200 CONSULATES PARTICIPATING THAT FOCUSED ON STRENGTHENING PROTECTIONS FOR IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES ACROSS THE COUNTRY. I'M ESPECIALLY PROUD THAT CARSON HAS MADE ITS NEW PERMANENT HOME NOT JUST IN MY

DISTRICT DISTRICT SIX BUT IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. THEIR NEW LOCATION AT 1117 MARKET STREET IS ALREADY BECOMING AN IMPORTANT COMMUNITY HUB AND IT IS A CHERISHED NEIGHBOR. SINCE OPENING, HARRISON HAS HOPE

AS HOSTED COMMUNITY MEETINGS, LEGAL CLINICS, COALITIONS, PARTNER ORGANIZATIONS, CITY DEPARTMENTS AND FAMILIES IN ITS NEW SPACE WHERE IT'S BEEN JUST AN AMAZING NEIGHBOR. THAT IS EXACTLY THE KIND OF

PRESENCE WE WANT TO SEE ON MARKET STREET AN ORGANIZATION PROVIDING VITAL SERVICES, BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER AND BUILDING COMMUNITY. THE RESULT UNDER YOUR LEADERSHIP, HARRISON CONTINUES TO CARRY

FORWARD THE VISION OF ITS FOUNDERS A COMMUNITY WHERE IMMIGRANT FAMILIES CAN PROSPER ,BUILD STRONG INSTITUTIONS, DEVELOP LEADERSHIP, PARTICIPATE CONFIDENTLY IN CIVIC LIFE FREE FROM FEAR AND KNOW THAT

THEY BELONG. >> AND AS THE HUSBAND OF A BRAZILIAN NATIONAL MYSELF, MY OWN FAMILY IS AN IMMIGRANT FAMILY AND I KNOW PERSONALLY HOW MEANINGFUL THAT SENSE OF BELONGING CAN BE. ON THE OCCASION OF OUR

CELEBRATION OF LATINO HERITAGE MONTH ON BEHALF OF A GRATEFUL BOARD OF SUPERVISORS AND WITH PARTICULAR PRIDE AS THE SUPERVISOR WHO GETS TO REPRESENT KANSAS AND IN MY OWN DISTRICT DISTRICT IT IS MY

HONOR TO COMMEND HARRISON S.F. AND EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LARRY SAID DUGGAN QUADRA FOR THEIR DECADES OF SERVICE ADVOCACY AND LEADERSHIP. THANKS FOR ALL YOU'VE DONE, ALL YOU CONTINUE TO DO AND

CONGRATULATIONS SUPERVISOR MELGAR. >> THANK YOU PRESIDENT. SO THANK YOU SUPERVISOR DORSEY FOR RECOGNIZING THIS AMAZING ORGANIZATION AND ITS AMAZING LEADERSHIP. I AM OF COURSE A PROUD CENTER AMERICAN

FROM EL SALVADOR AND HAVE SEEN DURING MY TIME WITH SAN FRANCISCO THIS AMAZING ORGANIZATION GROW AND ADAPT TO THE NEEDS AND REALITIES OF CENTRAL AMERICANS BOTH HERE IN THE US, IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THE

GREATER BAY AREA AND NORTHERN CALIFORNIA BUT ALSO ALL OVER THE WORLD. >> AND I WILL SAY WITH THE MOVE TO MARKET STREET ALSO HAS COME LIKE AN AMAZING NEW ITERATION OF THIS ORGANIZATION THAT CONTINUES

TO SERVE THE COMMUNITY AND PROVIDES FOR ITS NEEDS BUT ALSO NOW SEES OUR CURRENT REALITY OF A GLOBALLY CONNECTED WORLD. SO 30 YEARS AGO, YOU KNOW THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS CHEAP POLARIS FLIGHTS TO EL

SALVADOR OR NICARAGUA. >> THERE WAS NO WHATSAPP. >> THERE WAS NO, YOU KNOW, FACE TIME. TODAY THE BORDERS BETWEEN OUR COUNTRIES ARE STILL MUCH MORE POROUS IN THAT MEANS A LOT OF THINGS. >> THERE'S A

LOT OF BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN THE COUNTRIES AND ALSO THE HEIGHTENED OPPRESSION THAT WE'RE FACING FROM OUR FEDERAL GOVERNMENT MAKES PEOPLE'S LIVES SO MUCH HARDER AND SO GARRISON HAS RESPONDED BY DOING

A OF A LOT TRANSNATIONAL DIPLOMACY POLICY INTERNATIONAL WORK AT A SCOPE I'VE NEVER SEEN BEFORE AND THAT IS A RECOGNITION OF OUR CURRENT REALITIES AND RESPONDING TO THE MOMENT. SO I AM INCREDIBLY PROUD

OF THE ORGANIZATION. AND I JUST HAVE TO ALSO SAY A COUPLE OF WORDS ABOUT LA GUARDIA AS WHO IS YOU KNOW, SOMEBODY WHO I ADORE AND IS NEAR AND DEAR TO MY HEART. YOUR LEADERSHIP WOMAN HAS BEEN AMAZING. I

AM SO PROUD OF YOU AND WHERE YOU HAVE TAKEN THIS ORGANIZATION AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR THIS COMMUNITY AND YOUR LEADERSHIP IN OUR CITY. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR FIELDER THANK

YOU ROGER DORSEY FOR THIS WELL-DESERVED RECOGNITION. AND SUPERVISOR MELGAR, THOSE WERE A LOT OF WORDS THAT I WOULD HAVE SAID AS WELL. BUT YOU KNOW, GARRISON IS NOT ONLY A LOCAL MODEL FOR NONPROFITS IN

GENERAL LOOKING AT THEIR RETENTION OF STAFF, I THINK THAT SPEAKS TO THE LEADERSHIP, THE PASSION, THE DEDICATION THAT THIS ORGANIZATION HAS BUT ALSO THEY'RE AN INTERNATIONAL MODEL. AND I'VE LEARNED

PERSONALLY FROM IS THE SLOGAN POWER NOT PANIC AND THAT HAS SERVED OUR CITY THROUGH MANY YEARS BUT ESPECIALLY MOST RECENTLY UNDER THIS TRUMP ADMINISTRATION. AND THAT IS ECHOED AND REVERBERATED

THROUGHOUT SAN FRANCISCO AND HAS REALLY FORMED THE THE MEANING OF SANCTUARY CITY. AND SO I WANT TO THANK ALL OF YOU AT GOODISON AND THANK YOU LADIES FOR YOUR LEADERSHIP TO THE ENTIRE NETWORK OF

ADVOCATES THAT ARE SPEAKING OUT AND PROTECTING IMMIGRANTS IN SAN FRANCISCO. >> SO THANK YOU ALL AND THE USE OF PRESIDENT FOR THIS RECOGNITION. I, I WILL JUST ADD MY OWN THANKS AND CONGRATULATIONS TO

CHRIS AND LARYSA. >> YOU HAVE SPENT SOME TIME IN MY OFFICE EDUCATING ME ABOUT VARIOUS THINGS OVER THE YEARS AND I HAVE APPRECIATED THAT SO THANK YOU. >> AND I THINK WITH THAT THE FLOOR IS YOURS

SWABIAN SOCIETY FOR A CITY HALL. MR. GARZA THANK YOU SUPERVISORS. I PREPARED SOME REMARKS BUT THE BENEFIT OF BEING MAYBE LAST AS WE GOT TO HEAR ALL THE AMAZING WORK THAT THE PRIOR HONOREES DO FOR SAN

FRANCISCO, MANY OF US ARE PARTNERS ON THE FRONT LINES OF LIFTING UP THE WORKING POOR IN OUR CITY. >> SO CONGRATULATIONS TO THEM. I WAS ALSO STRUCK BY THE SIMILARITY IN SOME OF OUR SPEECHES SO BEAR

WITH ME WHAT WE DO. >> I OF COURSE TECHNOLOGY NEVER WORKS WHEN YOU NEED IT. >> WHAT WE DO AT THE CENTRAL AMERICAN RESOURCE CENTER GOT US INTO SOME OF THE HARDEST YET MOST REWARDING AND WORTH EVERY

RINGS TRUE TODAY THE DAHLIA IS RESILIENT, BEAUTIFUL AND COMES IN AN INCREDIBLE VARIETY OF COLORS AND FORMS. >> MUCH LIKE SAN FRANCISCO ITSELF, ITS HISTORY HERE IS ALSO A REFLECTION OF OUR CITY'S

IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES INCLUDING THE JAPANESE, AMERICAN, ITALIAN, CHINESE AND OTHER GROWERS WHO HELPED BUILD OUR LOCAL FLOWER INDUSTRY. >> I WANT TO ESPECIALLY RECOGNIZE THE DAHLIA SOCIETY OF

CALIFORNIA FOUNDED HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO IN 1917. THE VOLUNTEERS WHO HAVE SPENT MORE THAN A CENTURY CULTIVATING AND SHARING THIS FLOWER WITH OUR COMMUNITY THE DAHLIA DALE AND GOLDEN GATE PARK IS A

BEAUTIFUL EXAMPLE OF THAT LEGACY AND I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE SAN FRANCISCO FLOWER MARKET WHICH HAS BEEN A PART OF OUR CITY'S HISTORY SINCE 1912. THE FLOWER MARKET REPRESENTS IMMIGRANT

ENTREPRENEURSHIP, FAMILY BUSINESSES, CREATIVITY AND THOUSANDS OF JOBS ACROSS OUR REGION. NOW AT THE FLOWER MARKET ESTABLISHED IN ITS NEW HOME AND PETRO HUE WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY AND A RESPONSIBILITY

TO ENSURE THAT THIS INSTITUTION CONTINUES TO THRIVE FOR GENERATIONS TO COME. I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS BOARD AND THE CITY STAND BEHIND THE LONG TERM SUCCESS AND VIABILITY AND VIABILITY OF THE SAN

FRANCISCO FLOWER MARKET AND THE JOBS AND COMMUNITY IT SUPPORTS. AS WE CELEBRATE THE DYER'S FIRST 100 YEARS AS OUR OFFICIAL FLOWER, LET'S ALSO COMMIT TO PRESERVING THE PEOPLE INSTITUTIONS AND

COMMEMORATING THE HISTORIC 100 YEARS ANNIVERSARY OF ITS ESTABLISHMENT. THE VISION FOR THIS EXPANSIVE PUBLIC SPACE WAS SET IN MOTION BY THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS 100 YEARS AGO IN 1926 THROUGH THE

ADOPTION OF LAND ACQUISITION POLICIES PROTECTING URBAN NATURE CONSERVATION EFFORTS AND PUBLIC ACCESS, A SAN FRANCISCO'S SECOND LARGEST PART, MCLAREN PARK SERVES AS A VITAL ECOLOGICAL, RECREATIONAL AND

CULTURAL ANCHOR FOR THE SURROUNDING EXCELSIOR PORTOLA VISITATION VALLEY COMMUNITIES. >> IT PROVIDES AN REPLACEABLE SANCTUARY OF BIODIVERSITY WITHIN OUR URBAN ENVIRONMENT ENCOMPASSING NATIVE WELL

WETLANDS COASTAL SCARP WILDFIRE ,WHITE WILDFLOWERS AND A THRIVING URBAN FOREST. >> FOR TEN DECADES IT HAS ALSO BEEN A VIBRANT CULTURAL CROSSROADS HOSTING COMMUNITY FESTIVALS, ATHLETIC COMPETITIONS AND

FAMILY CELEBRATION THAT REFLECTS THE RICH DIVERSITY AND RESILIENCE SPIRITS OF OUT OF OUR SOUTHEASTERN NEIGHBORHOODS. >> DEPARTS SUSTAIN THE BEAUTY AND VITALITY THE DIRECT RESULT OF DECADES OF

PASSIONATE DRAW SHIP AND VOLUNTEER ISM BY THE DEDICATED LOCAL RESIDENTS COMMUNITY ORGANIZATIONS AND THE SAN FRANCISCO'S RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT. >> I WANT TO EXTEND MY APPRECIATION TO MY CO-

SPONSORS SUPERVISOR ERS WALTON AND FYODOR WITH WHOM I SHARED THE HONOR OF REPRESENTING THE THREE SOUTHEASTERN DISTRICT THAT STEWARD THIS INCREDIBLE CITY FOR CIVIL TREASURE. >> I LOOK FORWARD TO

COMMEMORATING THE 100TH YEAR ANNIVERSARY ALONGSIDE I WOULD OFFER YOU AND THE REST I SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR CHEN SUPERVISOR DORSEY. THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK. COLLEAGUES, I AM TODAY FORMALLY

INTRODUCING LEGISLATION WE ANNOUNCED A COUPLE OF WEEKS AGO TO ESTABLISH THE SOBER SPACES PROGRAM AND FUND TO COLLEAGUES ATTENDEES HERE IN THE BOARD CHAMBER AND VIEWERS AT HOME. YOU'RE ALL WELCOME TO

GET YOUR FREE STICKERS AT MY OFFICE IN ROOM 284 THE SOBER SPACES LEGISLATION AIMS TO EXPAND ACCESS TO MEETING SITES FOR ABSTINENCE BASED RECOVERY PROGRAMS AND TO BETTER SUPPORT SOBER NONPROFITS THAT

HAVE SERVED SAN FRANCISCO'S RECOVERY COMMUNITY FOR DECADES. THIS LEGISLATION AIMS IN PART TO REMOVE WHAT HAS HISTORICALLY BEEN A MAJOR OBSTACLE TO THE USE OF CITY OWNED FACILITIES BY RECOVERY GROUPS

THAT REQUIRE CONSISTENTLY RECURRING MEETING LOCATION AND BY GUARANTEEING ACCESS EVEN ON HOLIDAYS FOR MANY OF US IN RECOVERY IN FACT ESPECIALLY ON HOLIDAYS WHEN RECOVERY MEETINGS CAN BE VERY IMPORTANT,

IT WILL REQUIRE SAN FRANCISCO'S RECREATION AND PARKS DEPARTMENT AND POLICE DEPARTMENT TO MAKE THEIR COMMUNITY ROOMS AVAILABLE ANY DAY OF THE YEAR AT NO COST TO MEETING PARTICIPANTS TO ABSTINENCE BASED

MUTUAL HELP PROGRAMS. THESE ARE PROGRAMS LIKE ALCOHOLICS ANONYMOUS AND NARCOTICS ANONYMOUS BUT THEY'RE CERTAINLY NOT LIMITED TO THOSE. SAN FRANCISCO HAS NO SMALL NUMBER OF NON 12 STEP RECOVERY

PROGRAMS LIKE RECOVERY DHARMA WHICH IS A BUDDHIST TRADITION SMART RECOVERY LIFE BRINGS SECULAR RECOVERY WHICH HAS A WEEKLY MEETING HERE IN CITY HALL AT 12 NOON ON FRIDAYS AMONG MANY OTHERS. IT WILL

ALSO BENEFIT MANY OF SAN FRANCISCO'S NEWER NEIGHBORHOODS INCLUDING SOME IN MY DISTRICT LIKE MISSION BAY AND TREASURE ISLAND THAT REALLY DON'T HAVE ACCESS TO CHURCH BASEMENTS OR COMMUNITY BASED SOBER

SPACES. OTHERWISE IT WILL ESTABLISH A NEW FUND TO FURTHER OUR LEGISLATIVE EXTEND INTENT TO EXPAND THE AVAILABILITY OF MEETING SPACES FOR ABSTINENCE BASED RECOVERY GROUPS CITYWIDE. THAT FUND WILL HELP

TO DEFRAY CITY COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROGRAM'S OPERATION THROUGH VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS AND BUDGET APPROPRIATIONS. >> IT WILL ALSO ENABLE 12 STEP PROGRAMS TO HONOR THEIR SEVENTH TRADITION TO BE

SELF SUPPORTING. IT WILL FACILITATE GRANTS APPROPRIATED THROUGH THE CITY'S ANNUAL BUDGET PROCESS AND ADMINISTERED BY THE MAYOR'S OFFICE OF HOUSING AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT OR CD TO BETTER SUPPORT OUR

MANY COMMUNITY BASED SOBER NONPROFITS. THESE INCLUDE COMMUNITY BASED ORGANIZATIONS WE ALL KNOW LIKE THE CASTRO COUNTRY CLUB, THE DRY DOCK GROUP OF CENTRAL MISSION FELLOWSHIP, THE GRATITUDE CENTER AND

OTHERS. >> SAN FRANCISCO IS BLESSED WITH A LARGE AND INCREDIBLY VIBRANT RECOVERY COMMUNITY YET IT REMAINS ONE OF OUR MOST UNDERFUNDED CONSTITUENCIES EVEN AMID THE PERSISTENTLY DEADLY DRUG CRISIS WE

FACE PEER REVIEWED RESEARCH MAKES CLEAR THAT FEW PUBLIC INVESTMENTS COULD BE MORE WORTHWHILE THAN SUPPORTING THE WORK OF ABSTINENCE BASED MUTUAL HELP PROGRAMS. >> THESE TRADITIONS HAVE DEMONSTRATED

REMARKABLE SUCCESS NOT SIMPLY TO FACILITATE LONG TERM RECOVERY AMONG THOSE WHO'VE STRUGGLED WITH ADDICTION AND ALCOHOLISM BUT TO REDUCE HEALTH CARE AND OTHER PUBLIC COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH UNTREATED

ALCOHOL AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDERS. >> THE SOBER SPACE PROGRAM AND FUND IS AN IMPORTANT STEP TO BETTER PRIORITIZE LONG TERM RECOVERY AND I'M INCREDIBLY GRATEFUL FOR THE INPUT OF ADDICTION MEDICINE

EXPERTS LIKE DR. KEITH HUMPHREYS AND DR. ARNOLD LEMKE, BOTH OF STANFORD UNIVERSITY. THANKS AS WELL TO MY INITIAL CO SPONSORS PRESIDENT RANDLEMAN AS WELL AS SUPERVISORS HUANG MAHMOOD FIELDER, CHAN

MELGAR AND SAUTER. >> AND FINALLY THANKS TO MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS IN THE RECOVERY COMMUNITY FOR THE INSPIRATION YOUR JOURNEYS HOLD FOR THE HUMILITY OF KNOWING WE RESUME THAT JOURNEY EVERY SINGLE DAY

AND FOR THE ENDURING ETHOS OF RECOVERY TO CARRY THE MESSAGE TO GIVE BACK TO SUPPORT ONE ANOTHER AND TO BE A FULL PARTNER WITH WHAT SAN FRANCISCO IS WORKING TO ACCOMPLISH AS A RECOVERY FIRST CITY AND

THE REST I SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU SUPERVISOR DORSEY MR. PRESIDENT, SEEING NO NAMES ON THE ROSTER THERE CONCLUDES THE INTRODUCTION OF NEW BUSINESS. >> THANK YOU MADAM CLERK. I THINK THAT TAKES US TO

UNDERREPRESENTED GROUPS AFFECTED AND THERE'S AN ASSEMBLY BILL 617 ALSO CALLED COMMUNITY AIR PROTECTION PROGRAM BEING LED BY THE BAY AREA AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT DISTRICT AND THEY'RE INCLUDING AN AIR

ASSESSMENT WITHIN MANY DISTRICTS INCLUDING PUERTO ELECTRA. HER MISSION BAY THE MISSION BAYVIEW HUNTERS POINT AND THEY HAVE A LOT OF GREAT INFORMATION ABOUT HOW THESE GROUPS ALREADY ARE SUFFERING FROM

THE POOR AIR QUALITY. >> AND I THINK IN REGARDS TO DATA CENTERS WE SHOULDN'T HAVE TO DECIDE WHERE TO PUT THEM AND WHERE THEY MAY HARM OTHERS. >> I THINK THERE SHOULD NOT BE IN ANY SPACE NEAR PEOPLE

WHERE IT CAN LEAD TO POOR HEALTH OUTCOMES. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS. >> I'M PETER WARFIELD, HEAD OF LIBRARY USERS ASSOCIATION.

THANK YOU FOR CONSIDERING A VERY IMPORTANT ASPECT OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IMPACTS TODAY. BUT IN ADDITION TO THE VERY SERIOUS LAND USE ISSUES THERE ARE OTHER ADDITIONAL SERIOUS ISSUES AS WELL. THESE

INCLUDE THINGS LIKE PUBLIC SAFETY, SECURITY, PRIVACY AND EVEN HUMAN SURVIVAL WHICH IS SOMETHING THAT EVEN THE COMPANY HEADS. A NUMBER OF COMPANY HEADS HAVE TAKEN UP AT THE HIGHEST POSSIBLE LEVELS. >>

I THINK THAT THIS BOARD IS VERY WELL POSITIONED TO STUDY COMPREHENSIVELY THE DANGERS TO OUR SOCIETY, OUR WORLD AND TO INDIVIDUALS, EVEN DEMOCRACY AND HUMAN SURVIVAL. AS I MENTIONED ALL SORTS OF

EXPERTS AND EVEN AS I SAY, HEADS OF AIR COMPANIES HAVE WARNED ABOUT THOSE. >> DID YOU SEE PLEASE USE YOUR OFFICE IN YOUR OFFICES TO RESEARCH REPORT ON AND CONSIDER ACTION TO PROTECT SAN FRANCISCANS

RENT CONTROL ONLY ARTIFICIALLY CREATE MORE AND MORE WIDEN THE GAP OF THE THE RENT RATE WHICH WILL ONLY INCREASE WITH LENGTH OF TENANCY. >> SO THE MOST VULNERABLE AMONG US ARE THE IMMIGRANT OWNERS AND

THOSE WITH LOW FIXED INCOME. >> THEY WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TAKE A BEATING LIKE THAT. WE LENDERS ARE LEGAL LITIGATION RISK BECAUSE WITH EACH RENT NOT PAID THEY COULD TAKE MONTHS BEFORE THEY COULD CATCH

UP TO THE MONTH THAT MONTHLY RATE AT THE MARKET. SO AS SOME OF THE INSURANCE COMPANIES ARE ALREADY MOVING AWAY FROM SAN FRANCISCO DUE TO THE HIGH LITIGATION RISKS. SO PLEASE DO NOT PASS THIS FILE.

IT GOES. EACH ONE ROLE BY ROLE. SO THE THIRD WE'LL TALK ABOUT IS OWNERSHIP. AND I'LL TELL YOU A STORY. I WORK IN SIX FLAGS MY FOURTH YEAR I WAS ABLE TO DO KARAOKE. I WAS STILL OFF A POKER FACE. YOU

KNOW I MISS A FEW LYRICS AND I REALLY ENJOYED IT. AND NEXT WEEK THEY NEVER CALL ME BACK FOR NEXT KARAOKE. I FINALLY FIGURE OUT WHY ON YEARS I NEVER ASK. I WAS WAITING FOR THEM TO ASK ME AND NEVER

HAPPENED. SO DARK ENDS HERE. SO I PUT THIS PICTURE RIGHT HERE IT IS THIS OWNERSHIP RHT HERE. THIS IS PICTURE RIGHT HERE. THIS BY FAR THE MOST CONSEQUENTIAL PICTURE EVER SHOWN RIGHT HERE IS CHASE

CENTER. WE HOSTED THE GAME THE VAULT GREEKS, THE GIRL ON THE LEFT. HER NAME'S JOJO. SHE'S LEGALLY AMBASSADOR OF CHASE CENTER AND I'LL BE THE LEAD BECAUSE I CAN SING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM IN ENGLISH IN

CANTONESE HIGHFALUTIN HOME. SO THIS VALIDATES MY WORK BECAUSE STEPH CURRY AND WARREN BUFFETT PUT $9 MILLION TO GLIDE. I WILL CONTINUE MY WORK WITH GLIDE MEMORIAL. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR

COMMENTS. >> NEXT SPEAKER GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS. MY NAME IS ANDY STONE AND I AM WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO AIDS FOUNDATION AND THE HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK. >> I WANTED TO GIVE PUBLIC COMMENT IN SUPPORT

OF AGENDA ITEM NUMBER 35 RECOGNIZING NATIONAL PREP DAY. I JUST WANTED TO SAY VERY BRIEFLY THANK YOU SO MUCH TO SUPERVISOR MANDEL MIN SUPERVISOR DORSEY AND SUPERVISOR CHAN FOR REALLY TAKING THE LEAD ON

THIS PREP IS BEEN AN AMAZING USING AN INCREDIBLE GAME CHANGER WHEN IT COMES TO HIV TRANSMISSION AND HAS HELPED US TO BE ABLE TO ACTUALLY PERCEIVE HOW WE CAN END HIV TRANSMISSION AND BE ONE OF THE

LEADING PLACES IN THIS COUNTRY AND INDEED AROUND THE WORLD IN GETTING TO ZERO NEW HIV TRANSMISSIONS. I HAVE A SHORT STORY TO JUST KIND OF ILLUSTRATE THE IMPACT THAT HIV HAS HAD ON MY LIFE,

PARTICULARLY IN THIS CITY AS IT RELATES TO BEING ABLE TO ACCESS HIV PREVENTION. SO WHEN I FIRST MOVED TO SAN FRANCISCO AFTER COMING OUT AS GAY I WAS SEARCHING FOR ACCEPTANCE COMMUNITY AND CONNECTION.

WHAT I DIDN'T EXPECT WAS THE COST OF PROTECTING MY HEALTH. MANY MEN I MET HERE ON PREP WERE ON PREP THE DAILY AT THAT TIME THE DAILY PILL THAT PREVENTS HIV BUT MY HIGH DEDUCTIBLE INSURANCE MEANT IT

WOULD COST ME OVER $1,000 A MONTH MORE THAN MY PAYCHECK AND I HAD TO CHOOSE BETWEEN MY HEALTH AND MY RENT. THANKFULLY CITY CLINIC CONNECTED ME TO A PREP NAVIGATOR WHO HELPED ME ACCESS A CO-PAY CARD.

EVEN THEN IT WAS A REIMBURSEMENT SO I HAD TO PAY OUT OF POCKET AND I HAD TO SAVE FOR TWO MONTHS TO BE ABLE TO AFFORD TO AFFORD THE UPFRONT COST. I WAS LUCKY TO BE IN A CITY WITH RESOURCES TO HELP BUT

NOT EVERYONE IS. I'M ORIGINALLY FROM GEORGIA. I'VE LIVED IN MEXICO CITY FOR MULTIPLE YEARS. I'VE WORKED WITH ACTIVISTS AND FRIENDS AND LOVED ONES ACROSS THE WORLD. AND EVERY DAY PEOPLE COME TO ME MY

AGE YOUNGER OR OLDER TELLING ME HOW THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY TERRIFIED BECAUSE THEIR LIVES HAVE CHANGED BECAUSE THEY'VE CIRO CONVERTED AND THEY DIDN'T HAVE ACCESS TO THE INCREDIBLE RESOURCES THAT WE DO IN

SAN FRANCISCO. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS . NEXT SPEAKER. >> GOOD AFTERNOON. A BOARD OF SUPERVISORS. I'M WILLIAM DEAN ALSO I'M A MEMBER OF THE SAN FRANCISCO AIDS FOUNDATION HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK.

AND MY CONCERN WITH YOU TODAY IS TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DECLARE A RESOLUTION FOR NATIONAL PREP DAY OCTOBER 10TH, THIS COMING FRIDAY. HAVING THIS RESOLUTION WILL COMMUNICATE TO ALL DEPARTMENTS AND OUR

MAYOR THAT NATIONAL PREP DAY SERVICE IS A FORM OF EXPRESSION THAT WE AS A CITY ARE MOVING TOWARDS ZERO HIV INFECTION. HOW MUCH DOES IT MATTER FOR THIS BOARD TO PASS A RESOLUTION, A NATIONAL PREP DAY

RESOLUTION WILL MARK AN OBSERVANCE THAT SIGNALS TO OUR COMMUNITY THE PROGRESS BEING MADE IN THE DECREASE IN HIV DIAGNOSIS. AS I SEE IT NATIONAL PREP DAY IS A RALLYING CRY FOR THE DEPARTMENT OF PUBLIC

HEALTH, CITY CLINICS AND OTHER HEALTH STAKEHOLDERS TO BE ENCOURAGED TO CONTINUE TO DO THE WORK TOWARDS ACCESS EQUITY AND EDUCATION BY THE USE OF PREP. >> THANK YOU FOR LISTENING AND I APPRECIATE THE

WORK THAT YOU DO. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. NEXT SPEAKER. >> GOOD AFTERNOON SUPERVISORS. >> MY NAME IS ZANDER BRYER. I'M THE FOUNDER OF COVE DIALYSIS LLC AND I SERVE AS THE POLICY AND EDUCATION

CO-CHAIR FOR THE HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK. PREP HAS FUNDAMENTALLY CHANGED HIV PREVENTION, GIVING PEOPLE GREATER AGENCY OVER THEIR SEXUAL HEALTH, MOVING US AWAY FROM FEAR AND STIGMA TOWARDS EMPOWERMENT AND

CHOICE. >> THE PROGRESS HAPPENS BECAUSE COMMUNITY ORGANIZED AND SAN FRANCISCO INVESTED INACCESSIBLE PREVENTION. I SINCERELY THANK YOU FOR YOUR CONTINUED INVESTMENT ESPECIALLY SUPERVISORS MANDOLIN

DORSI AND CHEN. >> BUT INEQUITY REMAINS IN BLACK AND BROWN COMMUNITIES AND IMMIGRANT COMMUNITIES GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN, SEX WORKERS, THE TRANS AND GENDER NON-CONFORMING COMMUNITY AND PEOPLE

EXPERIENCING HOUSING INSTABILITY CONTINUE TO FACE BARRIERS. WE MUST PROTECT PREP AND PREP NAVIGATION SUPPORT INNOVATIONS LIKE LONG ACTING INJECTABLE PREP AND REACH PEOPLE WHERE THEY ARE AT. >> PLEASE

SUPPORT THIS RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING OCTOBER 10TH AS NATIONAL PREP DAY. >> WE HAVE COME INCREDIBLY FAR. >> PLEASE MAKE SURE NOBODY GETS LEFT BEHIND. >> SAN FRANCISCO HAS LONG BEEN A LEADER IN HIV

PREVENTION AND THAT LEADERSHIP HAS COME WITH A RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP MOVING FORWARD. OUR PROGRESS SHOULD NOT BE MEASURED ONLY BY HOW FAR WE'VE COME BUT BY WHETHER THE PEOPLE FACING THE GREATEST

BARRIERS CAN ACTUALLY ACCESS THE TOOLS WE KNOW WORK. >> THIS IS PERSONAL FOR ME. I DIRECTLY BENEFITED FROM ACCESS TO BOTH PREP AND PREP AS WELL AS I WAS NAMED AFTER MY MOTHER'S BROTHER WHO DIED OF

AIDS RELATED ILLNESSES IN THE 80S. I KNOW FIRSTHAND WHAT IT MEANS THAT THESE TOOLS AVAILABLE SAVE LIVES. >> AS SOMEONE WHOSE WORK IS ROOTED IN HARM REDUCTION AND COMMUNITY ADVOCACY, I WANT EVERYONE TO

HAVE ACCESS TO LIFE SAVING SUPPORT FOR WITHOUT JUDGMENT, STIGMA OR UNNECESSARY BARRIERS. >> THANK YOU SO INCREDIBLY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> NEXT SPEAKER LOW. GOOD AFTERNOON. BOARD OF

SUPERVISORS. MY NAME IS TERRY MILLER AND I'M ALSO WITH HORNE HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK AND I'M SO PLEASED THAT THIS HAS BEEN CONSIDERED. WHEN I FIRST CAME TO SAN FRANCISCO ABOUT 30 YEARS AGO, IT WAS DURING

A PERIOD OF TIME IN WHICH I WAS LOSING ALL MY FRIENDS COMMUNITY JUST EVAPORATING. >> AND THIS CITY WAS JUST AN INCREDIBLE PLACE. WE HAD SO MUCH SUPPORT IN THE CITY AND EMPOWERMENT THAT I'M REALLY

PLEASED THAT WE'RE CONSIDERING DOING A PREP DAY BECAUSE I THINK THAT IT'S ALSO IMPORTANT THAT WE ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I COME FROM RURAL COMMUNITIES AND MIDDLE AMERICA AND I KNOW THAT SAN FRANCISCO IS A

BEACON TO SO MANY OTHER COMMUNITIES IN PARTS OF THE OF THE COUNTRY. IT MATTERS NOT JUST WHAT WE'RE DOING HERE BUT IT MATTERS IN A LOT OF OTHER PLACES. >> I KNOW THAT HAVING COME FROM THOSE COMMUNITIES

I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT, YOU KNOW, I THINK THIS IS AN OPPORTUNITY TO CELEBRATE A DAY THAT OR A PIVOTAL MOMENT WHEN HIV WAS NO LONGER A MATTER OF WHEN FOR FOR MANY PEOPLE BUT AVOIDABLE. AND SO I VERY

MUCH HOPE YOU GUYS WILL PASS THIS AND I THANK YOU VERY MUCH. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER. GOOD AFTERNOON MEMBERS OF THE BOARD. MY NAME IS ADAM BROKAW AND I'M A RESIDENT

OF D5, A MEMBER OF THE HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK, THE HARVEY MILK DEMOCRATIC CLUB IN THE USF CHURCH. I'M HERE TODAY TO URGE THE BOARD TO PASS A RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING OCTOBER 10TH AS NATIONAL PREP DAY. SAN

FRANCISCO HAS MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS IN THE FIGHT AGAINST HIV AND AIDS. SOME COMMITTEE MEMBERS ARE STILL LEFT BEHIND THOUGH, INCLUDING BIPOC GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN, PEOPLE WHO ARE TRANSGENDER OR

IMMIGRANTS AND PEOPLE WHO ARE UNHOUSED. FOR US TO ENSURE THOSE COMMUNITIES ARE INCLUDED IN OUR EFFORTS TO PREVENT HIV AND AIDS TO HELP THE CITY IN REACHING OUR GOAL OF GETTING TO ZERO, WE NEED TO

CONTINUE FUNDING PREP SERVICES THROUGHOUT OUR SYSTEMS OF CARE. THIS RESOLUTION HELPS THAT GOAL BY AFFIRMING THE CITY'S COMMITMENT TO ITS COMMUNITIES AND PUBLIC HEALTH. >> AS A FORMER PREP COUNSELOR

AND CASE MANAGER MYSELF, I CAN TELL YOU THE SAFETY AND HEALTH BENEFITS OF PREP HAS DELIVERED TO MY FORMER CLIENTS AND TO THE WIDER COMMUNITIES THEY BELONG TO ALL BY JUST A PILL OR INJECTION THAT HAS A

99% CHANCE OF PREVENTING HIV. PREP IS LIFE SAVING HEALTH CARE FROM THE AND TRANS YOUTH ACCESSING SERVICES TO PEOPLE GOING TO THEIR DOCTOR OR COMMUNITY CLINIC. FOR THOSE WITH MEANS AND FOR THOSE

WITHOUT PREP IS A UNIVERSAL FRIEND TO ALL AND WE MUST COMMIT TO POLICIES THAT REFLECT THAT TRUTH. >> EACH POTENTIAL HIV TRANSMISSION PREVENTED BY PREP IS A POLICY AND PUBLIC HEALTH SUCCESS BY THE

CITY. MEMBERS OF THE BOARD PLEASE VOTE FOR THE RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE OCTOBER 10TH AS NATIONAL PREP DAY. THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER SUPERVISORS. >> MY NAME

IS JUSTICE TUMA. ALSO WITH HIV ADVOCACY NETWORK SPEAKING IN SUPPORT OF IDENTITY FIVE THE RESOLUTION FOR A NATIONAL PREP DAY HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO. THANK YOU TO SUPERVISORS MAILMAN DORSEY AND CHEN FOR

YOUR SUPPORT ON THIS REALLY IMPORTANT ISSUE. DOING SOMETHING LIKE THIS REALLY HELPS TALK ABOUT PREP MORE RIGHT AND BREAK THE STIGMA AROUND WHAT THAT MEANS AND HOPE. I HOPE THAT IN EVERYONE'S DISTRICTS

THERE ARE MORE CONVERSATIONS AROUND WHAT PREP CAN DO FOR ANYONE REGARDLESS OF GENDER IDENTITY, SEXUAL ORIENTATION AND ALL OF THOSE THINGS. I'M GOING TO ZERO. WE ARE SO CLOSE HERE IN SAN FRANCISCO AND

I'M GLAD WE ARE HONORING ONE OF THE MOST POPULAR HARM REDUCTION TOOLS OUT THERE. >> PREP THANK YOU SO MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER CURRENT EVENT. A LOT OF

COMMERCIALS AND ADVERTISEMENTS BRING OUT THE TRUTH. THE MAYOR THIS IS FOR YOU. YOU GOT A COMMERCIAL TALKING ABOUT YOU WANT TO GET RID OF THE CORRUPTION HERE AT CITY HALL AND THROUGHOUT CALIFORNIA. WE

START WITH YOU. I OBJECT TO YOU TAKING MULTI MILLIONS OF DOLLARS FROM PROPOSITION C A MEASURE WITH THE VOTERS VOTED FOR IN ORDER TO GET PERMANENT HOUSING FOR THE ECONOMICALLY DISADVANTAGED PEOPLE.

WITH A COMBINATION OF BOTH MENTAL AND PHYSICAL DISABILITIES AND HOMELESS OUT IN THE STREET HERE IN YOUR JURISDICTION HERE IN THE CITY AND COUNTY OF SAN FRANCISCO GOD CISCO AND PEOPLE IN WHEELCHAIRS .

YOU'RE CORRUPT. YOU'VE GOT SELF YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO BE TAKING THOSE FUNDS. YOU IN VIOLATION OF TITLE 18 OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA'S CODE SHOWS THE US ATTORNEY GENERALS AND THE LAWYERS EDITION

ACT 241 YOU DEPRIVING THE VOTERS OF THEIR DUE PROCESS AND EQUAL PROTECTION UNDER THE LAW AND YOU FURTHER VIOLATING THE DUE PROCESS OF THE PEOPLE WHO THAT LAW. PROPOSITION C WAS VOTED ON TO BE

PERMANENTLY HOUSE. NOW THE PENALTY FOR TITLE 18 IS THAT YOU SHALL NOT BE FINED NOT MORE THAN $10,000 CASH MONEY AND SHALL NOT SERVE A PRISON TERM IN A FEDERAL PENITENTIARY FOR A TIME PERIOD NO LONGER

THAN SEVEN YEARS. IS THAT CLEAR? MR. MAYOR, I WANT TO BE SURE YOU'RE CLEAR ON THAT. >> YOU AND YOUR STAFF IS RUNNING A RACKET IN ABOUT MONEY BEING WASTED. WHERE'S THAT $250 MILLION THAT GAVIN NEWSOM

CAN'T LOCATE THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR THE HOMELESS PEOPLE TO AND ABOUT YOUR MEMBER HERE WHO'S GETTING PREFERENTIAL TREATMENT. GIVEN ARE DENYING TRANSIT GRANTS AND SAYING NO TO EACH AND EVERY

PROPOSAL WHICH HELPS THE MOST VULNERABLE PEOPLE YOU WASTED 1.5 MILLION BY LETTING CHINESE NEW YEAR PEOPLE RIDE MUNI FOR FREE AND YOU INCREASE THE DEFICIT FROM 1.5 MILLION TO 2.5 MILLION. >> THANK YOU

FOR YOUR COMMENTS MR. RIGHT. WELCOME TO OUR NEXT SPEAKER. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THE PRESIDENT OF THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF SUPERVISORS ON THE DINNER PUBLIC AFTERNOON. THIS IS MY FIGHT MY FIFTH

APPEARANCE IN THE BUILDING. THE FIRST TWO REFERENCES I CAME TO CREATE AN AWARENESS ABOUT A CASE OF A VETERAN IS TALKING TO HALF OF THE POLICE. THE LAST TIME I CAME OVER HERE I KIND OF SUGGESTED THE

KIND OF WISHFUL WHAT I SUGGESTED THAT THE COMMITTEE OWNED AND OR NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES SHED BY THIS PROVISO. I DON'T THINK I INVITE A VICE CHAIR BY THE SUPERVISOR MAHMOOD DI TO MAKE SENSE A KIND OF

COY KIND OF TO PUBLIC HEARING TO HAVE THE POLICE, THE DP AND POLICE COMMISSIONER IN THE BUILDING. I KIND OF CONFIRM FROM THEM WHAT HAPPENED, WOLF, WITH THE CASE BECAUSE IF I HAD THE CASE AND THE

POLICE IS NOW INVESTIGATING THE DP IS NOT PREVENTING THE HOMICIDES, THE POLICE COMMISSIONER DIRECTING THE BAR TO THE DP AND THE DP. IT DOESN'T HAVE A SOLUTION. I DON'T BELIEVE THERE'S A GRIDLOCK AND

THE NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES COMMITTEE CAN CAN HANDLE THAT. SO WE NEED TO CONFIRM FROM THEM WHAT HAPPENED, WHAT TRANSPIRED, WHY IT WAS INVESTIGATED AND HOW WE CAN ACTUALLY RESOLVE BECAUSE IF THIS CASE

DOESN'T GET RESOLVED SOMEBODY HAS MY B.A. IN HAND OF SEARCH CASE AND THEY MIGHT BE IN LIMBO AS WELL. I'VE BEEN TO OFFICES ALREADY AND I'VE SENT A DIRECT EMAIL. YOU HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION

CONCERNING MY CASE. I WILL BE COMING BACK TO YOUR OFFICES TO SEE IF WE CAN HAVE THE PROPER MEETING AND SEE IF WE CAN SET UP THE PUBLIC HEARING. >> THAT'S WHAT THEY ASK. LET US DO OUR DUTY AND LET'S

SEE IF WE CAN RESOLVE THIS ISSUE BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY AFTER THE MAYOR OR THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF THE PREREQUISITE UNDER PA TOO HOT TO RAISE THIS PUBLIC HEARING AND SEE WHAT HAPPENED. >>

THANK YOU VERY MUCH. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME TO THE NEXT SPEAKER. >> ON SEPTEMBER 22ND I STOOD HERE AND MENTIONED THAT ON TROPIC HAD ANNOUNCED A NEW WET LAB TO USE AIR TO RUN MEDICAL

EXPERIMENTS. >> THE NEXT DAY AND TROPIC RELEASED AN ANNOUNCEMENT QUOTE THIS IS THE FIRST RESULT FROM OUR NEW MOLECULAR BIOLOGY LAB UNQUOTE. THEY DECIDED TO BE A BIT MORE HONEST AND TROPIC HAS AN AI

BIO LAB OPERATING IN SAN FRANCISCO THE SAME DAY. DARIO AMADI, CEO RELEASED THE FOLLOWING ANNOUNCEMENT QUOTE TODAY WE ANNOUNCED THE QUAD LED DISCOVERY OF A MOLECULAR MACHINE THAT WE SUSPECT COULD

REPRESENT A NEW GENE EDITING MECHANISM. >> HERE'S ANOTHER EXCERPT QUOTE EVENTUALLY IT MAY EVEN BE POSSIBLE FOR CLOT ITSELF TO SAFELY PERFORM THE EXPERIMENTS BY AUTONOMOUSLY CONTROLLING LAB EQUIPMENT

UNQUOTE. >> AND TROPIC IS RESPONSIBLE FOR AT LEAST NINE AUTONOMOUS CYBER FELONIES AND THEY WANT THEIR EYES TO AUTONOMOUSLY RUN A.I. MEDICAL EXPERIMENTS IN SAN FRANCISCO. YOU SHOULD TALK TO THEM. >>

YOU ALL SHOULD TALK TO THEM. ON SEPTEMBER 26TH, AXIOS RELEASED AN ARTICLE. I'M GOING TO PUT THIS ON OVER RIGHT HERE. WE'VE GOT THAT ON THE OVERHEAD. YEAH. SO IN THE UNDER THE HEADLINE IT'S SOMEWHERE

IT SAYS QUOTE OPENAI AND TROPIC AND SECURITY RESEARCHERS ARE INVESTIGATING TENS OF THOUSANDS OF INCIDENTS IN WHICH THEIR FRONTIER MODELS TOOK STEPS THAT OUTSIDE EVALUATORS WOULD CONSIDER PROBLEMATIC.

SOURCES TOLD AXIOS END QUOTE. MORE THAN ONE WEEK LATER THE DETAILS HAVE YET TO BE RELEASED. IS UNKNOWN HOW MANY OF THESE INCIDENTS WERE BENIGN AND HOW MANY WERE CRIMINAL? TENS OF THOUSANDS TO 20,000.

THE MINIMUM 1% WOULD MEAN 200 ADDITIONAL FELONIES HAVE YET TO BE DISCLOSED. THAT IS A CONSERVATIVE ESTIMATE. THIS HAS BECOME EXPONENTIAL. PURSUANT TO RULE 2.4 THE RULES OF ORDER ALL I CAN RECOMMEND IS

THE BOARD PASS AN EMERGENCY ORDINANCE TO PROHIBIT FURTHER FRONTIER AIR DEVELOPMENT. >> BUT THIS THIS IS USELESS. >> WHAT AM I TALKING ABOUT, MAN? I MEAN THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> WELCOME

JESSICA. PLEASE DO NOT START MY TIME YET, OKAY? I'M SHOWING THIS WEBSITE. THIS IS GO THAT THIS IS THE GAME.COM MAKE A FIX A NAME LATER. ARE YOU READY? JESSICA? >> YEAH. OKAY, HERE WE GO. OKAY, SO HI,

I'M JESSICA. AFTER MEETING WITH CONSTITUENTS LAST WEEK OR THIS WEEK I DECIDED TO UPDATE THIS WEBSITE. IT BECAME APPARENT THAT PEOPLE WERE REALLY INTERESTED IN THE DISTRICT TEN SAFETY PLAN AS WELL AS

OTHER PIECES OF INFORMATION WHICH I'LL GET TO INCLUDING LIKE THE FLOCK CAMERA CONTRACT. IF EVERYONE COULD PLEASE LOOK AT ME, LOOK AT THE BOARD THIS IS REALLY IMPORTANT. >> OKAY SO HERE IT IS. I LAID

SOME OF THE INFORMATION OUT AND PUT LINKS TO OUR SAFETY PLAN. I TRY TO CREATE CHARTS. PLEASE LET ME KNOW IF THIS NEEDS TO BE UPDATED. IT'S ALSO GOT SOME OF OUR SERVICES UPDATED AS WELL AS OUR FLOCK

CAMERA CONTRACT. >> I'M URGING EVERYBODY TO PLEASE MEET WITH SOME OF OUR STAKEHOLDER CREWS AND EXPLAIN SOME OF THE CONTRACT IN PLAIN LANGUAGE I'M ALSO URGING PEOPLE TO MEET WITH STAKEHOLDERS SO THAT

WE CAN GET FREE PUBLIC ACCESS TO CHANNELS WHERE WE CAN ACTUALLY WATCH THE GOVERNMENT UPDATES BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW ABOUT YOU GUYS BUT A LOT OF MY FRIENDS INCLUDING SENIORS HAD HARD TIME ACCESS SEEING

THE DEBATES ON CNN BECAUSE I DON'T HAVE PAID CHANNELS. SO IF WE COULD PLEASE MEET WITH STAKEHOLDERS TO FIX THIS ISSUE THAT WOULD ALSO BE GREAT. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME MOTO.

>> MR. PRESIDENT, MADAM CLERK REPORT OF SUPERVISORS. SOMEONE CAME UP AND COMPLAINED ABOUT RENT STABILIZATION AND YOU KNOW I THINK THERE'S PROBABLY 200,000 PEOPLE IN THE CITY THAT ARE BEING STABILIZED

IN THEIR HOUSING BECAUSE WE HAVE RENT STABILIZATION. I, I DON'T KNOW HOW FAR IF I, I IMAGINE THERE YOU COULD GO TOO FAR WITH IT BUT I THINK WE'RE HITTING APPROXIMATELY THE RIGHT POINT. I DON'T THINK

OUR RENTERS HAVE ENOUGH PROTECTIONS REALLY. >> THANK YOU. THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS. WELCOME. THANK YOU. IT'S REALLY AMAZING THAT WHEN THE 56 FOUNDING FATHERS SIGNED THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE

IN 1776 THAT IT FULFILLED A PROPHECY IN DANIEL CHAPTER EIGHT IN REGARDS TO 2300 DAYS. SOMETIMES WE INTERPRET PROPHECIES A DAY EQUALS A YEAR SO IT WOULD BE OBVIOUSLY 2300 YEARS AND THEN IT SAYS THE

SANCTUARY WILL BE CLEANSED. WHAT A STRANGE PROPHECY IS THAT. NOW THE SANCTUARY WAS CLEANSED WHEN THE BABYLONIANS CAME AND DESTROYED SOLOMON'S TEMPLE. IT WAS BURNED WITH FIRE 2300 YEARS LATER WAS 1776.

I WILL NOW PROVE THIS ASSERTION. WE HAVE TO ARRANGE CHRONOLOGY BY THE YEAR JOHN BAPTIZED JESUS . THAT'S ALL WE HAVE TO DO. WE DON'T KNOW WHEN HE WAS BORN SO LET'S GO WITH YOU KNOW WHEN HE WAS

BAPTIZED. THAT WAS THE 15TH YEAR OF TIBERIUS CAESAR. THAT'S 28 ON OUR CALENDAR. GOT THAT 28 ON OUR CALENDAR. THERE'S A PROPHECY IN DANIEL THAT SAID THERE WOULD BE 77 YEAR CYCLES UNTIL CHRIST WOULD

COME AND BE CUT OFF BUT NOT FOR HIMSELF. >> BUT IT'S AS IN 69 OF THOSE SEVEN YEAR CYCLES WHICH WOULD BE 483 YEARS CHRIST WOULD BE BAPTIZED OR ANOINTED SOON AFTER HE WAS ANOINTED. THAT'S LUKE THREE

LUKE CHAPTER FOUR HE GOES IN TO THE SYNAGOGUE, UNROLLS A SCROLL OF ISAIAH WHERE IT SAYS HE WAS ANOINTED EMPHASIZING THAT IT WAS NOW AT THE END OF THE 69TH SEVEN YEAR CYCLE FROM THE COMMAND BY CYRUS.

>> SO WE HAVE TO BACK UP 70 YEARS RIGHT TO KNOW WHEN THE TEMPLE WAS DESTROYED. SO 483 PLUS 70 IS 553 YEARS TO WHEN HE WAS ANOINTED DO THE MATH LAST TIME I CHECKED 1747 MORE YEARS WOULD BRING US TO

2300 YEARS THAT WOULD BE 1775 AND PART OF 1776. I REST MY CASE AND NONE OF THESE GUYS KNEW IT BECAUSE IF THEY DID KNOW IT THEY CERTAINLY SAY THANK YOU. >> MARK ROSSI, THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.

MARK, YOU KNOW THE RULES. >> YOUR TWO MINUTES IS UP. THANK YOU. >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WOULD LIKE TO ADDRESS THE BOARD DURING GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT? ALL RIGHT. SEEING NONE

SUCCESSFULLY PERFORMED FOR MORE THAN SEVEN YEARS ON AUGUST 28TH MY POSITION ALSO PROVIDED UPDATED MEDICAL DOCUMENTATION SUPPORTING A SIX MONTH ADA ACCOMMODATION. I REMAIN CONCERNED ABOUT DELAYS IN

PROCESSING THAT REQUEST. I HAVE ALREADY EXPRESSED CONCERNS TO THE MTA BOARD. I'M NOT ASKING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO DECIDE MY EMPLOYMENT DISPUTE. I'M ASKING YOU TO EXAMINE SOMETHING LARGER. HOW

DOES AN EMPLOYEE GO FROM REQUESTING AN ACCOMMODATION TO BEING REMOVED FROM THE WORKPLACE AND REFERRED FOR PSYCHOLOGICAL EVALUATION WITHIN DATE? I'VE SPENT YEARS ADVOCATING FOR PEOPLE WITH DISABILITIES

IN OTHER MARGINALIZED GROUPS. IF THIS CAN HAPPEN TO SOMEONE WHO KNOWS HOW TO ADVOCATE FOR HIMSELF WHAT HAPPENS TO EMPLOYEES WHO DO NOT? I RESPECTFULLY ASK THIS BOARD TO LOOK INTO WHETHER MY EXPERIENCE

REVEALS A BROADER PROBLEM WITH HOW ETHICS MTA HANDLES EMPLOYEES WHO EXERCISE THEIR CIVIL RIGHTS. THANK YOU. THANK YOU TODD FOR YOUR COMMENTS. >> ALL RIGHT. LET'S HEAR FROM OUR NEXT CALLER PLEASE. >>
