03:02AND I'M PROUD TO SUPPORT THE FUNDING PROPOSED TODAY.

03:06I'VE SAID IT SINCE THE FIRST DAY I TOOK OFFICE.

03:09PUBLIC SAFETY IS MY NUMBER ONE PRIORITY.

03:13AND OUR FUNDAMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY AS LEADERS

03:17PUBLIC SAFETY MEANS PROTECTING SAN FRANCISCANS TAKING EVERY

03:20REPORT OF SEXUAL ASSAULT SERIOUSLY AND HOLDING THOSE WHO

03:33EARLIER THIS MONTH AND WORKING AND FOR WORKING CLOSELY WITH

04:29SINCE DAY ONE MY ADMINISTRATION HAS BEEN WORKING WITH OUR

04:32PARTNERS HERE ON THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO MAKE OUR STREETS

04:34SAFER, CLEANER AND HEALTHIER FOR EVERYONE.

04:37YEARS AGO, AS WE ALL KNOW, SAN FRANCISCO WAS CAUGHT FLAT

04:40FOOTED BY THE FENTANYL CRISIS. WE'VE TAKEN ACTION HOLDING DRUG

04:44DEALERS ACCOUNTABLE, GIVING PEOPLE STRUGGLING WITH

04:48ADDICTION A CHOICE BETWEEN TREATMENT AND ARREST AND MAKING

04:51IT FASTER AND EASIER TO GET PEOPLE INTO CARE AND ONTO A

04:55PATH TOWARDS RECOVERY. >> AND IT IS WORKING.

05:22DEALERS SHOULD AND MUST KNOW THERE IS NO SAFE HAVEN IN THIS

05:29CITY. BUT AS I HAVE SAID MANY TIMES,

05:30WE ARE NOT GOING TO ARREST OUR WAY OUT OF THIS PROBLEM.

05:34THAT'S WHY MORE THAN 70,000 PEOPLE ARE NOW IN TREATMENT, UP

05:4017% IN A YEAR. AND WHY WE'VE OPENED OVER 200

05:44NEW TREATMENT BEDS SINCE JANUARY OF 2025.

05:47NOW WE ALL KNOW WE STILL HAVE A LONG WAY TO GO AND MUCH MORE

05:52WORK TO DO. TOO MANY PEOPLE START

05:55MEDICATION AND DON'T STAY ON IT.

28:44>> AND TODAY WE START WITH DISTRICT FIVE SUPERVISOR

28:47MAHMOOD. >> COLLEAGUES TODAY IT IS MY

28:50HONOR TO RECOGNIZE THE SAN FRANCISCO'S TSUNAMI SWIM CLUB.

28:54>> HE GETS UP TO THE PODIUM OF THE SAN FRANCISCO TSUNAMI SWIM

29:06CLUB IS CELEBRATING 40 YEARS OF BRINGING LGBTQ PLUS SWIMMERS

29:10TOGETHER AND BUILDING COMMUNITY THROUGH SPORT.

29:13>> FOUNDED IN 1986 IN CONNECTION WITH THE SECOND

29:16GAY GAMES TSUNAMI EMERGED DURING ONE OF THE MOST

29:19DIFFICULT PERIODS IN LGBTQ PLUS HISTORY AS THE HIV AIDS

29:23EPIDEMIC DEVASTATED OUR COMMUNITY, THE CLUB GAVE

29:27SWIMMERS A PLACE TO COME TOGETHER AT A TIME WHEN SO MANY

29:31GATHERINGS WERE CENTERED AROUND ILLNESS AND LOSS.

29:35>> TSUNAMI OFFERS SOMETHING DIFFERENT A CHANCE TO CELEBRATE

29:39LIFE AND FIND COMMUNITY. >> WHEN IT WAS NEEDED MOST.

29:42>> THAT HISTORY IS ESPECIALLY MEANINGFUL HERE IN SAN

29:46FRANCISCO WHERE GENERATIONS OF LGBTQ PLUS PEOPLE HAVE FOUGHT

29:50FOR THE FREEDOM TO LIVE OPENLY AND FIND SPACES WHERE THEY

29:54BELONG. >> WHEN I LEARNED MORE ABOUT

29:55SAMOAN TSUNAMI I WAS STRUCK BY HOW SWIMMING CAN REPRESENT

29:59SOMETHING MUCH BIGGER THAN A SPORT.

30:02>> IT CAN REPRESENT FREEDOM ITSELF.

30:05>> I THOUGHT ABOUT MY WIFE'S PARENTS WHO IMMIGRATED TO THE

30:09UNITED STATES FROM CHINA. THEY TOLD ME OFTEN ABOUT A

30:10PIVOTAL MOMENT IN THEIR JOURNEY WHERE THEY SWAM FROM MAINLAND

30:14CHINA TO HONG KONG A PERILOUS JOURNEY OF ROUGHLY THREE MILES

30:20. >> THEY WERE AMONG NEARLY 2

30:21MILLION PEOPLE WHO MADE THAT CROSSING AND BECAME KNOWN AS

30:24FREEDOM SWIMMERS. >> THEIR STORY IS A REMINDER

30:28THAT FOR MANY PEOPLE SWIMMING IS ABOUT FAR MORE THAN

30:29PERFECTING A TECHNIQUE OR EVEN WINNING A MEDAL.

30:33IT CAN MEAN ESCAPING OPPRESSION AND PURSUING THE CHANCE TO

30:37BUILD A DIFFERENT LIFE. >> FOR SAN ARMY'S MEMBERS, THE

30:38CLUB HAS OFFERED ITS OWN KIND OF FREEDOM A PLACE TO FIND

30:42COMMUNITY AND FEEL A SENSE OF BELONGING AT A TIME WHEN THAT

30:45WAS NOT ALWAYS POSSIBLE. >> 40 YEARS LATER THAT MISSION

30:49CONTINUES. A SAN FRANCISCO'S ONLY LGBTQ

30:52PLUS U.S. MASTER SWIMMING CLUB SAN ARMY WELCOMES ADULT

30:56SWIMMERS ACROSS THE BAY AREA REGARDLESS OF THEIR AGE,

30:59BACKGROUND OR EXPERIENCE IN THE WATER.

31:00>> THROUGH AFFORDABLE MEMBERSHIP FEES AND FINANCIAL

31:03ASSISTANCE, THE CLUB WORKS TO MAKE SURE THAT COST IS NOT A

31:07BARRIER TO GETTING INVOLVED. WHETHER SOMEONE IS AN

31:10EXPERIENCED COMPETITOR OR JUST LEARNING TO FEEL COMFORTABLE

31:11IN THE WATER, THERE'S A PLACE FOR THEM ON THE TEAM.

31:14>> TSUNAMI IS ALSO SHOWN THAT INCLUSION AND COMPETITIVE

31:18EXCELLENCE GO HAND-IN-HAND. AT THE 2026 GAY GAMES

31:22IN VALENCIA, SPAIN, THE CLUB PLACED FOURTH OVERALL BRINGING

31:26THE SAME SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY TO AN INTERNATIONAL STAGE.

31:29IT'S A REMARKABLE ACHIEVEMENT AND A REMINDER THAT LGBTQ PLUS

31:33ATHLETES DESERVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO COMPETE

31:36AND SUCCEED AT THE HIGHEST LEVELS AND THE CLUB'S

31:37COMMITMENT TO SAN FRANCISCO EXTENDS WELL BEYOND THE POOL

31:41ITS MEMBERS VOLUNTEER. S.F. PRIDE AND THE FOLSOM

31:45AND CASTRO STREET FAIRS HELPING SUPPORT THE EVENTS THAT HAVE

31:49LONG BROUGHT OUR COMMUNITIES TOGETHER.

31:51>> THE CLUB ALSO SUPPORTS CHARITABLE ORGANIZATIONS

31:52ADVOCATING FOR LGBTQ PLUS IMMIGRANT RIGHTS, RECOGNIZING

31:56THAT ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO THE COMMUNITY DOES NOT END WHEN

32:01PRACTICE IS OVER. >> AND WHILE ADVANCES IN HIV

32:04PREVENTION AND TREATMENT HAVE CHANGED THE COURSE OF THE HIV

32:07AIDS EPIDEMIC THE NEEDS FOR SPACES WHERE LGBTQ PLUS PEOPLE

32:11CAN FIND SUPPORT AND CONNECTION HAS NOT GONE AWAY.

32:14TSUNAMI HAS CARRIED THAT RESPONSIBILITY FORWARD HONORING

32:16THE PEOPLE WHO BUILT THIS COMMUNITY WHILE MAKING ROOM FOR

32:20NEW GENERATIONS TO FIND THEIR OWN SENSE OF BELONGING.

32:22>> ON BEHALF OF THE SAN FRANCISCO BOARD OF SUPERVISORS

35:44FRANCISCO'S FILIPINO-AMERICAN COMMUNITY.

35:45>> SOMEONE WHOSE COMMITMENT TO OUR CITY'S YOUNG PEOPLE HAS

35:49MADE A LASTING DIFFERENCE IN DISTRICT SIX.

35:52>> CARLO GASCON FOR CARLO CARLO IS A LIFELONG SOUTH OF MARKET

36:03RESIDENT, A DEDICATED YOUTH MENTOR AND SOMEONE WHO HAS

36:07SPENT MORE THAN 14 YEARS GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY THAT

36:08HELPED TO RAISE HIM. CARLO GREW UP IN SOUTH OF

36:11MARKET, ATTENDED BESSEMER CARMICHAEL SCHOOL AND SPENT

36:14MUCH OF HIS CHILDHOOD AT THE JEAN FRIEND RECREATION CENTER.

36:19IN FACT, CARLO AND HIS BROTHERS CAN BE SEEN IN SOME OF THE

36:22EARLIEST PHOTOGRAPHS TAKEN WHEN THE RECREATION CENTER FIRST

36:26OPENED. SO WHEN WE TALK ABOUT PEOPLE

36:27WHO HAVE DEEP ROOTS IN THEIR NEIGHBORHOODS, CARLO IS A

36:31PERFECT EXAMPLE. AND WHAT'S ESPECIALLY

36:34REMARKABLE THAT IS HE HAS TURNED THOSE ROOTS INTO A

36:37LIFETIME OF SERVICE. >> IN 2011 CARLO BEGAN

36:41VOLUNTEERING WITH THE UNITED PLAYERS UNITED PLAYERS IN THE

36:42HOUSE. >> I BELIEVE BECAUSE HE WANTED

36:47TO HELP YOUNG PEOPLE GROWING UP IN THE SAME NEIGHBORHOOD HE

36:51KNEW SO WELL HIS COMMITMENT QUICKLY BECAME APPARENT AND THE

36:55FOLLOWING YEAR HE JOINED UNITED PLAYERS AS A STAFF MEMBER

36:58AND HE HAS BEEN MAKING A DIFFERENCE IN THE LIVES OF SAN

37:03FRANCISCO'S YOUNG PEOPLE EVER SINCE.

37:04OVER THE YEARS CARLO HAS MENTORED STUDENTS AT BESSIE

37:07CARMICHAEL, ESTABLISHED A WEEKLY SUPPORT GROUP FOR ARABIC

37:10SPEAKING STUDENTS AND HELPED COUNTLESS YOUNG PEOPLE NAVIGATE

37:13CHALLENGES BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE CORE OF THE

37:17CLASSROOM. >> DURING THE COVID 19 PANDEMIC

37:20HE LED UNITED PLAY HIS MIDDLE SCHOOL LEARNING POD PROVIDING

37:24STABILITY AND SUPPORT WHEN CITY STUDENTS NEEDED IT MOST.

37:27TODAY AS UNITED PLAYERS HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM LEAD CARLO HELPS

37:32STUDENTS STAY ON TRACK TOWARD GRADUATION.

37:33HE ENCOURAGES THEM TO PURSUE HIGHER EDUCATION AND HE

37:37CONNECTS THEM WITH OPPORTUNITIES THEY MIGHT NOT

37:39HAVE IMAGINED FOR THEMSELVES. BUT COLLEAGUES, WHAT I THINK IS

37:40MOST REMARKABLE ABOUT COLLEAGUES IS IN ANY PARTICULAR

37:44PROGRAM HE'S LED OR ACCOMPLISHMENT WE CAN LIST ON A

37:48CERTIFICATE. IT'S HIS PERSONAL COMMITMENT

37:51THAT HE MAKES TO EVERY YOUNG PERSON HE WORKS WITH.

37:54CARLO REMEMBERS BIRTHDAYS. HE SHOWS UP AT FIVE IN THE

37:59MORNING FOR TRACK MEETS. HE ANSWERS PHONE CALLS LATE AT

38:02NIGHT WHEN SOMEONE NEEDS HELP. HE MAKES SURE STUDENTS GET HOME

38:04SAFELY. HE TAKES AN INTEREST IN THEIR

38:07LIVES AND HE CELEBRATES THEIR ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

38:10AND WHEN A YOUNG PERSON MAKES A MISTAKE OR IS STRUGGLING, CARLO

38:13DOESN'T GIVE UP ON THEM. HE MEETS THEM WHERE THEY ARE.

38:15TREATS THEM WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECTS AND HELPS THEM TO

38:18FIND THEIR WAY FORWARD. >> CARLO IS ALSO A PERSON OF

38:23FAITH WHOSE BELIEF AND VALUES ARE WELL REFLECTED IN THE

38:26COMPASSION, HUMILITY AND DEDICATION HE BRINGS TO

38:29SERVING OTHERS. AS I HAVE COME TO LEARN MYSELF

38:31AS A PARISHIONER OF SAINT PATRICK'S CATHOLIC CHURCH WHICH

38:34HAS A LARGE NUMBER OF FILIPINO CONGREGANTS, THE FILIPINO VALUE

38:38VALUES OF KAPWA SEEM TO ANIMATE SO MUCH OF HIS WORK NOT JUST AS

38:42A DUTY BUT AS AN EXPRESSION OF SHARED IDENTITY AND DEEP

38:46INTERCONNECTEDNESS WITH THE COMMUNITY.

38:49>> FOR MANY OF THE YOUNG PEOPLE WHO BENEFIT FROM HIS

38:52INVOLVEMENT IN THEIR LIVES, CARLO ISN'T SIMPLY A MENTOR.

38:54HE'S AN OLDER BROTHER AND UNCLE, A TRUSTED ADULT THEY

38:56KNOW THEY CAN TURN TO WHEN IT MATTERS MOST.

39:00WE SPEND A LOT OF TIME HERE IN CITY HALL TALKING ABOUT HOW

39:02TO MAKE SAN FRANCISCO SAFER, HOW TO CREATE OPPORTUNITIES FOR

39:05OUR YOUNG PEOPLE AND HOW TO STRENGTHEN OUR NEIGHBORHOODS.

39:09BUT PEOPLE LIKE CARLO REMIND US THAT SO MUCH OF THAT WORK

39:12HAPPENS OUTSIDE OF CITY HALL. THROUGH THE RELATIONSHIPS

39:16PEOPLE BUILD, THE TRUST THEY EARN AND THE SIMPLE ACT OF

39:17SHOWING UP FOR SOMEONE DAY AFTER DAY, YEAR AFTER YEAR.

39:20AND CARLO HAS BEEN DOING EXACTLY THAT FOR 14 YEARS

39:24WITHOUT RECOGNITION OR ATTENTION UNTIL NOW ANYWAY

39:27BECAUSE HE GENUINELY BELIEVES IN THE YOUNG PEOPLE HE SERVES

39:32AND THE COMMUNITY HE CALLS HOME .

39:35SO AS WE CELEBRATE FILIPINO-AMERICAN HISTORY MONTH

39:36I CAN'T THINK OF A MORE FITTING PERSON TO HONOR CARLO ON BEHALF

39:42OF THE RESIDENTS OF DISTRICT SIX AND A GRATEFUL BOARD OF

39:44SUPERVISORS. WE THANK YOU FOR YOUR

39:46EXTRAORDINARY DEDICATION TO UNITED PLACE, YOUR COMMITMENT

42:44ROCK AND ROLL SUSHI HAS SERVED AS AN ICONIC CULINARY

42:48AND CULTURAL ANCHOR IN SAN FRANCISCO'S MARINA DISTRICT FOR

42:54OVER 30 YEARS. ESTABLISHED WITH A DISRUPTIVE

42:55VISION TO STRIP THE FORMALITY OUT OF TRADITIONAL SUSHI

42:59DINING, THE RESTAURANT PIONEERED A HIGH ENERGY MUSIC

43:02FORWARD AND COMMUNITY CENTRIC DINING CONCEPT THROUGHOUT THREE

43:06DECADES OF CONTINUOUS OPERATION AT ITS ORIGINAL STEINERS STREET

43:10STOREFRONT. OOF MAN THE ALLITERATION THERE

43:14ACE WASABI HAS EVOLVED FROM A TRENDSETTING NIGHTLIFE HUB INTO

43:18A CHERISHED NEIGHBORHOOD INSTITUTION.

43:21IT IS BALANCED A DEDICATION TO PREMIUM JAPANESE CUISINE WITH

43:25AN APPROACHABLE FESTIVE ENVIRONMENT THAT CAPTURES THE

43:26UNIQUE SPIRIT OF SAN FRANCISCO'S HOSPITALITY

43:30CULTURE. ACE WASABI HAS BEEN VITAL TO

43:34ECONOMIC VITALITY AND THE IDENTITY OF THE MARINA AND WHEN

43:37IT OPENED IT REDEFINED HOW THE NEIGHBORHOOD INTERACTED WITH

43:39JAPANESE CUISINE. THIS RESTAURANT IS A

43:41FOUNDATIONAL GATHERING FOR LOCAL RESIDENTS, SPORTS FANS,

43:49SUCCESSFULLY WITHSTOOD INTENSE ECONOMIC PRESSURES, MAJOR

43:52SHIFTS IN RETAIL CORRIDORS AND MORE THAN ONCE NEIGHBORHOOD

43:56BURGLARIES. BUT ITS ENDURING PRESENCE

43:57OFFERS THE MARINA STABILIZING SENSE OF PLACE AND HISTORICAL

44:01CONTINUITY. >> IT'S THAT HISTORY, THAT

44:05LEGACY THAT IS ROOTED IN PRESERVATION OF LONGSTANDING

44:09CULINARY AND SOCIAL TRADITIONS. >> ACE WASABI WAS A PIONEER OF

44:14CALIFORNIA STYLE FUSION WHERE KITCHENS SEAMLESSLY MERGES

44:17JAPANESE NIGIRI AND SASHIMI WITH INNOVATIVE CREATIVE ROLES

44:21FEATURING DISTINCT INGREDIENTS LIKE MACADAMIA NUTS AND HIGHLY

45:54ROSA ON FILLMORE STREET, A CONTEMPORARY ROMAN STYLE PIZZA

45:57RESTAURANT. >> AND THIS GRIT SHOWS UP DAY

56:55SO MUCH FOR THE HONOR. AND PRESIDENT MAN THE MAN

56:59AND THE BOARD FOR TEN YEARS ON THE ENTERTAINMENT COMMISSION I

57:03WAS ACTUALLY YOUR REPRESENTATIVE AND I

57:04REPRESENTED THE INDUSTRY THAT AT THE TIME WAS A LITTLE

57:08CONTENTIOUS. OBVIOUSLY THE ENTERTAINMENT

57:11COMMISSION WAS FORMED SO THAT WE COULD BE A BUFFER BETWEEN

57:15NEIGHBORS, POLICE AND THE CLUB OWNERS.

57:19AND I HAVE TO SAY THAT WE'VE COME A LONG WAYS AND I HELPED

57:22DEVELOP THE GOOD NEIGHBORHOOD POLICY THAT WE NOW THAT ALL

57:27DEPARTMENTS ARE USING WHICH IS GREAT.

57:31I HELP WITH SUPERVISOR CHU AT THE TIME WITH THE PARKING LOT

57:32SAFETY LEGISLATION BECAUSE THE NEIGHBORS WERE BLAMING US FOR

57:38THE PARKING LOT TROUBLES WASN'T EVEN OUR BUSINESS.

57:42>> THOSE WERE GOOD DAYS AND WE WERE AT A PEACE TIME.

57:46I WAS GETTING BORED SO I WAS GOING TO RETIRE TEN YEARS BEING

57:49ON THE COMMISSION. BUT THEN THE PANDEMIC HIT AND I

57:52FOUND OUT THAT NOT ONLY THAT WE HAVE A BEAUTIFUL WATERFRONT.

57:57WE ALSO HAVE 550 SMALL BUSINESS TENANTS THAT DIDN'T PAY RENT

58:03BECAUSE THEY COULDN'T DO IT AND NOBODY COULD COME.

58:05SO LUCKILY THE INSIDE OF A MAYOR BREED SAW THAT I CAN HELP

58:11AND I WAS THERE NOT JUST FOR A TITLE TO BE A PORT COMMISSIONER

58:15BUT TO HELP SMALL BUSINESS IN SAN FRANCISCO ESPECIALLY

58:19WHEN THE REVENUE OR THE PORT STOPPED PRETTY MUCH FOR TWO

58:23YEARS. I WAS HAPPY THAT I WAS ABLE TO

58:27KIND OF RETRAIN THE STAFF TO ACTUALLY STOP BEING LANDLORDS

58:34NOW BUT ACTUALLY BECOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES TO GET

58:39THESE BUSINESSES BACK ON THEIR FEET.

58:40AND LUCKILY WITH THE 250 STAFF THAT THEY HAVE, THEY WERE

58:44ACTUALLY VERY OPEN TO IT BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T KNOW WHAT

58:47TO DO AND HOW TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMS.

58:50>> SO LUCKILY WE WERE ABLE IN FOUR YEARS WAS ABLE TO GET

58:54THEM BACK ON TRACK, GIVE THEM THE INCENTIVES TO GET BACK ON

58:58THEIR FEET. SOME OF THEM STILL COULDN'T

58:59MAKE IT BECAUSE OF THE LABOR CRISIS.

59:02BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS MY HONOR TO ACTUALLY HELP THE PORT

59:05AND IT'S STILL A LOT MORE TO DO AND THEY'RE ON THE UPRISE.

59:09THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING ON PORT THAT I'VE

59:13IMPLEMENTED THAT I'M GLAD THAT IT'S WORKING.

59:16>> THERE'S THERE'S A LOT OF CLOSURES LIKE THE GAS STATION

59:21AND SUPERVISOR CHERYL'S OFFICE THAT'S CLOSING AND WE'RE GOING

59:22TO REOPEN THE ONE AT THE PORT. SO THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS

59:26AND I THINK CLOSING BY 14 YEARS AND PUBLIC SERVICE WHICH I TAKE

59:29VERY SERIOUSLY. >> I THINK I MISSED ONE

59:33COMMISSION MEETING WHEN COMMISSION MEETING 14 YEARS

59:37AND SO WITH THAT SERVING ON THE PORT AS A CONCLUSION OF MY

59:41PUBLIC SERVICE IS KIND OF AN HONOR AND ACTUALLY AND I

59:44ENJOYED WORKING WITH ALL OF YOU GUYS AND I'M STILL AROUND THREE

59:48THINGS I LOVE I LOVE IS ENTERTAINMENT SMALL BUSINESS

59:55AND I LOVE CHINATOWN AND MY COMMUNITY PEOPLE THAT ARE HERE

59:59AND ALSO THE POLICE PEOPLE THE POLICE, THE CHIEF AND EVERYBODY

1:00:03THAT SUPPORTS CHINATOWN. >> WE LOVE YOU AND I LOVE YOU

1:00:07AND THANK YOU SO MUCH. YEAH, I JUST THINK COULD I

1:01:00INVITE CASTRO COMMUNITY ON PATROL FOR IT IS MY GREAT HONOR

1:01:19TO PRESENT A SPECIAL COMMENDATION TODAY TO CASTRO

1:01:22COMMUNITY ON PATROL CELEBRATING THEIR 20TH ANNIVERSARY THIS

1:01:27YEAR. FOR THE PAST TWO DECADES THE

1:01:30VOLUNTEERS OF CASTRO COMMUNITY ON PATROL HAVE WALKED THE

1:01:32STREETS OF THE CASTRO ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY NIGHTS KEEPING

1:01:34WATCH OVER A NEIGHBORHOOD THEY LOVE.

1:01:37NOW THE LONGEST SERVING VOLUNTEER SAFETY PATROL IN SAN

1:01:40FRANCISCO. CASTRO COMMUNITY ON PATROL WAS

1:01:41FOUNDED IN 2006 WHEN MORE THAN 100 NEIGHBORS AND MEMBERS OF

1:01:48THE LEATHER COMMUNITY CAME TOGETHER IN RESPONSE TO A

1:01:49SERIES OF VIOLENT STREET ROBBERIES AND SEXUAL ASSAULTS

1:01:52TARGETING GAY MEN. THE STRONG VOLUNTEER TURNOUT

1:01:56AND VISIBLE COMMUNITY SUPPORT HELPED BRING THE ORIGINAL

1:01:59PROBLEM UNDER CONTROL AND AS A RESULT, AFTER ABOUT SIX MONTHS

1:02:03MANY OF THE EARLY VOLUNTEERS FELT THEIR WORK WAS DONE.

1:02:07BUT RECOGNIZING THAT THE NEED FOR COMMUNITY SAFETY WOULD

1:02:08CONTINUE, A SMALLER GROUP OF VOLUNTEERS STAYED ON

1:02:11AND CARRIED THE ORGANIZATION FORWARD.

1:02:14AMONG THOSE WHO HELPED BUILD THE FOUNDATION FOR TODAY'S

1:02:17PATROL ARE ITS FOUNDERS STATE SENATOR SCOTT WIENER, WHO

1:02:51>> COMMITTEE ON PATROL IS BEST KNOWN FOR THE VOLUNTEERS YOU

1:02:55SEE WALKING THE CASTRO BUT THEIR WORK EXTENDS BEYOND

1:02:56NEIGHBORHOOD PATROLS. THE ORGANIZATION ALSO PROVIDES

1:02:59SAFETY TRAINING AND HELP COMMUNITY MEMBERS RESPOND TO

1:03:03EMERGENCIES AND PROTECT THEMSELVES AND OTHERS.

1:03:06IN 2011 THEY BROUGHT LGBTQ PLUS BAR AND CLUB OWNERS IN THE

1:03:10CASTRO TOGETHER FOR A SAFETY SYMPOSIUM AND HAVE HAVE

1:03:14CONTINUED OFFERING TRAINING EVER SINCE INCLUDING

1:04:11ANNIVERSARY THIS YEAR, WE'RE GRATEFUL FOR ALL THE WORK

1:04:13YOU'VE DONE TO KEEP THE NEIGHBORHOOD SAFE.

1:04:16>> WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO INVITE GREG CAREY, PRESIDENT OF THE

1:04:20BOARD OF DIRECTORS FOR CASTRO COMMITTEE ON PATROL TO SPEAK.

1:04:23>> GREG, THE FLOOR IS YOURS. THANK YOU, PRESIDENT

1:04:27MENDELSOHN. A ARAFURA AS WE KNOW YOU

1:04:31AND ALL OF THE SUPERVISORS WE ARE VERY PROUD TO BE HERE

1:04:34TODAY. 20 YEARS HAS FLOWN BY VERY

1:04:35QUICKLY AND IT'S HARD TO CONDENSE 20 YEARS INTO A FEW

1:04:39MINUTES. I WANT TO HIGHLIGHT A FEW OF

1:04:42THE OF THE MORE IMPORTANT THINGS THAT HAPPENED DURING

1:04:46THOSE YEARS IN ADDITION TO THE INFORMATION THAT THE FBI HAS

1:04:50PROVIDED. ONE OF THE THINGS THAT IS

1:04:53TRAGIC IN A WAY BUT ALSO AS A DISTRICT ATTORNEY, BROOKE

1:05:01POINTED OUT TO US ON SUNDAY FOR OUR PRESENTATION.

1:05:02THERE HAVE ONLY BEEN THREE HOMICIDES IN THE CASTRO RELATED

1:05:06TO LGBTQ FEW VICTIMS. THE FIRST ONE WAS FREDDY

1:05:12ARGUELLO WHO WAS YOU MAY REMEMBER A BODY WAS FOUND ON

1:05:16THE TOP OF THE PARK AT BUENA VISTA.

1:05:23THAT WAS IN 2011. ERIC CULLEN WAS FOUND DEAD

1:05:27IN HIS APARTMENT IN DIMOND HEIGHTS IN 2012 AND FEATHER OF

1:05:35BRIAN HIGGINS WAS WAS KILLED IN FRONT OF THE THE SAFEWAY

1:05:47IN THE SAFEWAY IN THE CASTRO. THE THING ABOUT ALL THREE OF

1:05:48THESE IS THIS IN THE LGBTQ COMMUNITY THERE IS A RESISTANCE

1:05:51TO WORK WITH AUTHORITIES AND ESPECIALLY COME FORWARD AS

1:05:57WITNESSES WHEN NECESSARY. IN THE CASE OF ERIC, IT TOOK

1:06:01QUITE A WHILE BEFORE ANYBODY WAS WILLING TO COME FORWARD TO

1:06:06HELP IDENTIFY A SUSPECT AND WE WE HAD TO WORK VERY DIFFICULT.

1:06:10WE HAD TO HAVE PICTURES IN MOST OF THE WINDOWS IN THE CASTRO.

1:06:14WE HANDED OUT OF HAND FLIERS AND IT TOOK ABOUT THREE MONTHS

1:06:20BEFORE THERE WAS ENOUGH INFORMATION TO PUT TOGETHER.

1:06:24WELL, FIRST OF ALL TO LOCATE THE SUSPECT BUT ALSO TO TAKE

1:06:28HIM THROUGH THE COURT PROCESS. THE THING THAT HAS HAPPENED

1:06:31SINCE THEN WE HAVEN'T HAD MORE HOMICIDES BUT WE HAVE HAD A LOT

1:06:35OF OTHER HATE CRIMES AND ASSAULTS AND IT'S VERY

1:06:38TYPICAL FOR A PERSON WHO IS A VICTIM OF ONE OF THESE CRIMES

1:06:42TO BE RELUCTANT TO COME FORWARD TO EVEN REPORT THE CRIME

1:06:45AND ESPECIALLY TO FOLLOW THROUGH ON PROSECUTE.

1:06:49AND WE ARE NOT ATTORNEYS SO WE CAN'T PROVIDE LEGAL ADVICE BUT

1:06:50WE HAVE 20 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE IN WORKING WITH THE WEIRD SLOW

1:06:56PROCESS OF THE LAW AND ORDER SITUATION.

1:07:01SO WHAT WE TRY TO DO IS ENCOURAGE EVERYBODY WHO IS

1:07:02EXPERIENCED SOME KIND OF SERIOUS CRIME TO REPORT IT.

1:07:09WE DON'T GET REPORTS FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT SO WE DON'T

1:07:12KNOW THESE HAVE HAPPENED UNLESS YOU ALSO LET US KNOW THAT

1:07:14SOMETHING HAS HAPPENED. AND THEN TO FOLLOW THROUGH AS

1:07:17FAR AS IT GOES AND TO ALSO BE A WITNESS WHEN YOU HAPPEN TO BE

1:07:21ABLE TO TO WITNESS A SITUATION AND THAT'S KIND OF OUR STORY.

1:07:25OUR STORY IS IF YOU HARM SOMEONE IN OUR COMMUNITY, WE

1:07:29WILL DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO DELIVER JUSTICE.

1:07:32AND A BIG PART OF THAT IS US BEING ABLE TO BE LIAISONS

1:07:37BETWEEN THE VICTIMS, THE WITNESSES, THE POLICE

1:07:38DEPARTMENT, THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY AND ALL OF THESE OTHER

1:07:41THINGS THAT TAKE TIME. BUT IN THE END MAKE A BIG

1:07:44DIFFERENCE AS FAR AS PUBLIC SAFETY.

1:07:47WE ALSO HAVE BEEN INVOLVED IN A LOT OF LARGE EVENTS WHERE WE

1:07:51HAD TO WORK WITH A LARGE ORGANIZATIONS AND CROWDS

1:07:55AND MARCHES WITHOUT ANY PERMITS BECAUSE USUALLY THERE'S A VERY

1:07:59TINY AMOUNT OF TIME BETWEEN THE EVENT AND AND THE FACT THAT WE

1:08:04HAVE SUDDENLY GOT THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE THAT ARE IN THE CASTRO

1:08:07OR MAYBE NEED TO MARCH TO CITY HALL.

1:08:10JUST A FEW OF THOSE IS THEN THE PROPOSITION EIGHT SITUATION

1:08:14WHICH ACTUALLY EXTENDED FROM 2008 UNTIL 2014.

1:08:18IN BOTH OF THE SUPREME COURT DECISIONS HAPPENED THE DAY

1:08:24BEFORE PRIDE AND THEY HAPPENED ON THE FRIDAY BEFORE PRIDE

1:08:29AND ON SATURDAY BEFORE PRIDE IN THOSE DAYS WAS PINK SATURDAY

1:08:32WHICH WE WERE ALSO INVOLVED WITH.

1:08:33SO WITHIN A FEW HOURS WE HAD TO PUT TOGETHER A SAFETY PLAN.

1:08:36WE HAD TO BRING IN THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE ABLE TO BRING

1:08:40IN THEIR MOTORCYCLES TO BE ABLE TO HAVE SAFETY ESCORTS

1:08:43FOLLOWING THE CASTRO TO CITY HALL.

1:08:44AND THAT'S VERY TYPICAL OF THE THE FACT THAT OUR WORK

1:08:47IN BUILDING RAPPORT WITH THE COMMUNITY AS WELL AS WITH THE

1:08:52AUTHORITIES ALLOWS US TO BRING THESE THINGS AS NEEDED IN SHORT

1:08:56ORDER. A SIMILAR SITUATION WAS WHEN

1:08:59THE PULSE MASSACRE IN FLORIDA HAPPENED.

1:09:03THE SHOOTING STOPPED AT ABOUT 3 A.M. AND BY NOON THE NEXT DAY

1:09:07WE HAD ABOUT 20 PEOPLE IN THE CASTRO THAT WANTED TO PAY

1:09:09HOMAGE TO ALL OF THE VICTIMS. AGAIN, THERE'S NOT TIME TO GET

1:09:13A PERMIT. DOES NOT TIME TO MAKE A FORMAL

1:09:16PLAN WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT WE MADE IT WORK.

1:09:20WE HAD A SAFETY EVENT IN THE CASTRO.

1:09:23WE HAD A SAFE EVENT MARCHING TO THE COURTYARD OUT HERE INSIDE

1:09:27OF THE CITY HALL. AND SO THESE ARE SOME OF THE

1:09:32MORE COMPLICATED THINGS BUT THE REQUIREMENT OF KEEPING THINGS

1:09:36SAFE AND KEEPING THE PUBLIC AND AUTHORITIES CONNECTED IS A

1:09:39BIG PART OF WHAT WE DO BESIDES THE THINGS THAT THAT RAFAEL HAS

1:09:41HAS DONE. SO WE'RE SO PROUD TO BE ABLE TO

1:09:45BE HERE 20 YEARS LATER. WE THANK YOU ALL FOR HONORING

1:09:48US IN THE WORK THAT WE DO AND HAVE OUR CONTINUING TO DO

1:09:54AND WE HOPE TO KEEP IT GOING FOR MAYBE 20 MORE YEARS.

1:09:57>> I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON .

1:10:23>> AND IT WAS ONE OF OUR VERY, VERY, VERY

1:11:00. >> ALL RIGHT.

1:11:01I THINK MADAM CLERK DOES THAT TAKE US TO ROLL CALL FOR

1:11:06INTRODUCTIONS? YES, IT DOES, MR. PRESIDENT.

1:11:09ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT.

1:11:12>> FIRST MEMBER TO INTRODUCE NEW BUSINESS.

1:13:36COLUMN IN NISHI BAY NEWS WHERE THE ART IS INTERSPERSED WITH

1:13:39WISDOM ABOUT HOW TO LEAD A RICH LIFE.

1:13:43>> ONE COLUMN IN PARTICULAR IS EMBLEMATIC OF HIS PRESENCE

1:13:47IN THE COMMUNITY. >> IT'S ENTITLED WE CAME TO

1:13:50THIS LIFE TO LAUGH. >> IN IT, REVEREND CULBERTSON

1:13:54TELLS A STORY OF A YOUNG GIRL WHO'S EMPLOYED TO LAUGH

1:13:57AND SMILE IN THE FACE OF EXISTENTIAL SADNESS ABOUT A

1:14:01CANCER DIAGNOSIS. >> SENSEI ENDS THE PIECE BY

1:14:05SAYING LET US PRACTICE LAUGHING AND SMILING NOW SO WE CAN

1:14:09APPROACH EVERY CHALLENGE AND EVERY MINUTE OF LIFE WITH

1:14:11COMPASSION, HUMOR AND LIGHTNESS.

1:14:13>> IT'S THIS INFECTIOUS POSITIVE ITY GRATITUDE FOR LIFE

1:14:18AND DESIRE TO BRIGHTEN EVERYONE AROUND HIM THAT EVERYONE ELSE

1:14:21WHOSE LIFE HE TOUCHED INCLUDING MYSELF WILL REMEMBER HIM FOR

1:14:26THE MOST. >> MAY HIS MEMORY BE A

1:14:29BLESSING. >> THANK YOU AGAIN, ALICE.

1:14:30REST IN POWER. >> NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO DISCUSS

1:14:41AND INTRODUCE A LEGISLATION IN ORDINANCE THAT WE ARE DOING

1:14:44TO CHANGE FORMULA OF RETAIL RULES TO MAKE IT EASIER FOR

1:14:45GROCERY STORES AND PHARMACIES TO OPEN, CONVERT OR OPERATE

1:14:49IN SAN FRANCISCO WHEN A MAJOR GROCERY STORE LIKE LUCKY'S OR

1:14:53SAFEWAY CLOSES, THE CONSEQUENCES RIPPLE THROUGHOUT

1:14:57THE NEIGHBORHOOD. >> FAMILIES LOSE CONVENIENT

1:15:00ACCESS TO AFFORDABLE FOOD, RESIDENTS LOSE ESSENTIAL

1:15:01SERVICES AND A LARGE STOREFRONT CAN SIT VACANT FOR MONTHS OR

1:15:04EVEN YEARS. >> THESE SPACES ARE OFTEN TOO

1:15:08LARGE OR EXPENSIVE FOR SMALLER INDEPENDENT GROCERS TO TAKE

1:15:12OVER DIVIDING THEM INTO SMALLER STOREFRONTS TAKES TIME, MONEY

1:15:16AND RESOURCES. >> MEANWHILE, THE NEIGHBORHOOD

1:15:19IS LEFT WITHOUT THE SERVICES IT NEEDS AND WHEN A NEIGHBORHOOD

1:15:23WANTS A TRADER JOE'S OR SAFEWAYS OR MOLLY STONES OR

1:15:24ANOTHER GROCERY STORE, WE SHOULD BE MAKING IT EASIER NOT

1:15:27HARDER FOR THAT BUSINESS TO OPEN ITS DOORS.

1:15:30RIGHT NOW SAN FRANCISCO'S FORMULA RETAIL RULES CAN

1:15:32REQUIRE CONDITIONAL USE PERMIT FOR GROCERY STORES

1:15:35AND PHARMACIES SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY OPERATE MORE THAN 11

1:15:38LOCATIONS GLOBALLY. >> THAT ADDITIONAL REVIEW CAN

1:15:42ADD 6 TO 9 MONTHS TO THE PERMITTING PROCESS AND IN SOME

1:15:45CASES CONTRIBUTE TO YEARS OF DELAYS.

1:15:47>> THESE RULES WERE DESIGNED WITH IMPORTANT PLANNING GOALS

1:15:50IN MIND BUT THEY SHOULDN'T STAND IN THE WAY OF FILLING

1:15:54VACANT STOREFRONTS WITH ESSENTIAL NEIGHBORHOOD SERVICES

1:15:57. THAT'S WHY WE'RE INTRODUCING

1:15:57THIS LEGISLATION TO STREAMLINE PERMITTING AND MAKE IT EASIER

1:16:01TO BRING THESE BUSINESSES INTO EXISTING COMMERCIAL SPACES.

1:16:04>> FIRST, WE'RE MAKING IT EASIER TO CONVERT EXISTING

1:16:06FORMULA RETAIL STOREFRONTS INTO GROCERY STORES OR PHARMACIES OR

1:16:09TO CHANGE THE OPERATOR OF AN EXISTING GROCERY STORE OR

1:16:13PHARMACY WITHOUT REQUIRING AN ADDITIONAL QUEUE SOLELY BECAUSE

1:16:16OF THAT CHANGE. >> SECOND, WE'RE GIVING GROCERY

1:16:20STORES AND PHARMACIES MORE FLEXIBILITY TO OFFER

1:16:23COMPLEMENTARY SERVICES. >> GROCERY STORES COULD INCLUDE

1:16:24ACCESSORY PHARMACIES, BANKS, RESTAURANTS AND LIMITED SERVICE

1:16:28RESTAURANTS WITHOUT A SEPARATE CONDITIONAL USE PROCESS FOR

1:16:31EACH ACCESSORY USE. >> THIRD, WE'RE MAKING IT

1:16:36EASIER FOR GROCERY STORES TO INCORPORATE FOOD HALLS

1:16:39AND RESTAURANT OFFERINGS. GROCERY STORES COULD DEDICATE

1:16:42UP TO 49% OF THEIR SPACE TO ACCESSORY RESTAURANT USES WITH

1:16:46A SINGLE CONDITIONAL USE AUTHORIZATION COVERING THE

1:16:47FORMULA RETAIL RESTAURANT COMPONENT RATHER THAN REQUIRING

1:16:50A SEPARATE PERMIT FOR EACH AND EVERY RESTAURANT.

1:16:53THINK OF THE SMARTS OF THE WORLD.

1:16:57>> FINALLY WE'RE EXPANDING ELIGIBILITY FOR PLANNING

1:16:58PRIORITY PROCESSING PROGRAMS AT GROCERY STORES AND PHARMACIES

1:17:02CAN ACCESS EXPEDITED REVIEW REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY

1:17:05EXCEED THE EXISTING FORMULA RETAIL CAP.

1:17:06>> TOGETHER THESE CHANGES WILL REDUCE UNNECESSARY PERMITTING

1:17:10COSTS, SHORTEN TIMELINES AND GIVE GROCERY STORE

1:17:13OPERATORS GREATER FLEXIBILITY TO MAKE USE OF EXISTING

1:17:16COMMERCIAL SPACES. >> WE ALSO KNOW THAT FOOD

1:17:17ACCESS IS AN AFFORDABILITY ISSUE NOT JUST ACCESSIBILITY.

1:17:21>> SO WHEN GROCERY STORES CLOSE AND ALTERNATIVES ARE LIMITED,

1:17:25RESIDENTS CAN BE LEFT WITH FEWER CONVENIENT OPTIONS FOR

1:17:28BUYING THE FOOD THEY NEED. >> MAKING IT EASIER TO FILL

1:17:30VACANCIES PREFERENCE WITH GROCERY STORES AND PHARMACIES

1:17:33IS ONE PRACTICAL WAY TO STRENGTHEN NEIGHBORHOOD ACCESS

1:17:36TO ESSENTIAL GOODS AND SERVICES.

1:17:37WE'LL CONTINUE TO WORK ON THE ISSUE OF ACCESS

1:17:40AND AFFORDABILITY BECAUSE I KNOW THAT THEY GO HAND IN HAND.

1:17:43>> I WANT TO THANK MY EARLY CO-SPONSOR SUPERVISOR MELGAR

1:17:47AND CHERYL AND I WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE OUR SMALL GROUP HAS

1:17:48SHOWN REAL LEADERSHIP ON THIS ISSUE AND OUR PREVIOUS

1:17:51LEGISLATION LAID IMPORTANT GROUNDWORK.

1:17:52>> OUR PROPOSAL BUILDS ON HER ORIGINAL LEGISLATION WITH A

1:17:55TARGETED FOCUS ON GROCERY STORES AND PHARMACIES.

1:17:58>> I ALSO WANT TO THANK THE PEOPLE WHO HELPED BRING THIS

1:18:00LEGISLATION TO LIFE. DEPUTY CITY ATTORNEY HEATHER

1:18:03GOODMAN DRAFTED THE ORDINANCE AND WORKED THROUGH THE DETAILS

1:18:07OF HOW THESE CHANGES FIT WITH OUR EXISTING PLANNING CODE.

1:18:10LISA GLUCKSTEIN WITH THE PLANNING DEPARTMENT HELPED US

1:18:11UNDERSTAND HOW FORMULA RETAIL CONTROLS AND SEE REQUIREMENTS

1:18:16PLAY OUT IN PRACTICE AND LAUREL ARVANITIS AT WDIV BROUGHT THE

1:18:21PERSPECTIVE OF THE BUSINESSES AND NEIGHBORHOODS AFFECTED.

1:18:23HELPING US FOCUS ON WHAT OPERATORS ACTUALLY NEED TO FILL

1:18:26VACANT STOREFRONTS THEIR EXPERTISE MADE THIS A STRONGER

1:18:30PROPOSAL AND I'M INCREDIBLY THANKFUL.

1:18:31>> ULTIMATELY THIS IS ABOUT GETTING OUT OF OUR OWN WAY AS A

1:18:35CITY. WHEN A GROCERY STORE CLOSES WE

1:18:37SHOULD BE WORKING TO BRING THOSE ESSENTIAL SERVICES BACK

1:18:39AND NOT MAKE IT HARDER FOR THE NEXT OPERATOR TO MOVE IN.

1:18:43MORE GROCERY STORES, MORE PHARMACIES, MORE NEIGHBORHOOD

1:18:46SERVICES AND MORE CHOICES FOR SAN FRANCISCANS.

1:18:49LET'S MAKE IT EASIER TO OPEN THE DOORS AND NOT BURY

1:18:51ESSENTIAL BUSINESSES IN RED TAPE.

1:18:53>> THANK YOU ALL AND I RESPECTFULLY ASK FOR YOUR

1:18:54SUPPORT. >> NEXT I WOULD LIKE TO SPEAK

1:18:57ON A PAIR OF ORDINANCES THAT ARE BEING INTRODUCED BY THE

1:19:01MAYOR TODAY AND I AM CO-SPONSORING THOSE ORDINANCES

1:19:04RELATED TO FREEDOM WEST WHICH IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT

1:19:07STORIES IN THE HISTORY OF THE FILLMORE AND WHAT HAPPENS THERE

1:19:11NEXT COULD SHAPE THE FUTURE OF THIS COMMUNITY FOR GENERATIONS

1:19:14. >> TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE

1:19:15DEVELOPMENT OF THE FREEDOM WEST IS IMPORTANT, WE HAVE TO

1:19:18UNDERSTAND THE HISTORY OF THIS NEIGHBORHOOD.

1:19:19>> URBAN RENEWAL DISPLACED THOUSANDS OF BLACK RESIDENTS

1:19:22AND BUSINESSES FROM THE FILLMORE.

1:19:23>> FREEDOM WEST EMERGED FROM MOVEMENT TO ENSURE BLACK SAN

1:19:27FRANCISCANS COULD CONTINUE TO OWN THEIR HOMES, BUILD WEALTH

1:19:31AND MAINTAIN A STAKE IN THE COMMUNITY THEY HELPED BUILD.

1:19:35>> THE FREEDOM WEST COMPLEX TODAY OCCUPIES NEARLY FOUR CITY

1:19:38BLOCKS IN THE WEST. IN ADDITION, LESS THAN A

1:19:39QUARTER MILE AWAY FROM WHERE WE SIT TODAY IN CITY HALL, IT'S

1:19:44382 HOMES ARE OWNED COLLECTIVELY BY RESIDENTS AS

1:19:45PART OF A LIMITED EQUITY COOPERATIVE.

1:19:49THESE CO-OPS ARE OFTEN OVERLOOKED ELEMENTS OF THE

1:19:50CITY'S AFFORDABLE HOUSING LANDSCAPE BECAUSE THEY DON'T

1:19:53QUALIFY FOR TRADITIONAL AFFORDABLE HOUSING FINANCING

1:19:54TOOLS AND REQUIRE A CREATIVE APPROACH BY THE CITY.

1:19:57THE CO-OP AND DEVELOPMENT PARTNERS DELIVER LONG TERM

1:20:02SUSTAINABILITY. >> THERE'S AN IMMENSE PRIDE

1:20:05IN THE COMMUNITY FOR THE CO-OP AND WHAT IT STANDS FOR.

1:20:08BUT THE HALF CENTURY OLD HOMES ARE BEGINNING TO FALL INTO

1:20:11DESPAIR. >> THAT LEGACY OF BLACK

1:20:12OWNERSHIP AND COMMUNITY CONTROL IS WHAT MAKES FREEDOM WEST SO

1:20:16SIGNIFICANT AND TODAY WE HAVE AN OPPORTUNITY TO BUILD ON THAT

1:20:19LEGACY. >> TODAY MAYOR LURIE IS

1:20:22INTRODUCING A DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT AND A SPECIAL USE

1:20:23DISTRICT THAT WILL ENABLE FREEDOM FREEDOM WEST TO BE

1:21:12THE OCTAVIA STREET RIGHT OF WAY AND A STEM INNOVATION CENTER TO

1:21:16HELP FILLMORE RESIDENTS BETTER ACCESS STEM JOBS

1:21:19AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP OPPORTUNITIES.

1:21:20>> ONE OF THE ORDINANCES INTRODUCED TODAY IS THE

1:21:24DEVELOPMENT AGREEMENT BETWEEN THE CITY AND THE DEVELOPMENT

1:21:27TEAM. THIS AGREEMENT OUTLINES THE

1:21:28REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEVELOPER TO CREATE AFFORDABLE HOUSING,

1:21:30MAKE STREET INFRASTRUCTURE IMPROVEMENTS, PAY PREVAILING

1:21:34WAGES FOR CONSTRUCTION AND GENERATE OTHER COMMUNITY

1:21:35BENEFITS THAT WILL IMPROVE THE NEIGHBORHOOD AND THE CITY.

1:21:39>> IN RETURN, APPROVAL FOR THE PROJECT WILL BE STREAMLINED

1:21:42AND SIMPLIFIED ON THE CITY'S AND THE OTHER ORDINANCE CREATES

1:21:46THE FREEDOM OF SPECIAL USE DISTRICT.

1:21:47>> THIS MODIFIES THE PLANNING CODE AND ZONING MAP TO SET NEW

1:21:51HEIGHT LIMITS DESIGN RULES AND ALLOWANCES FOR COMMERCIAL

1:21:54AND TERM USES. >> IT WILL ALSO ALLOW FOR A

1:31:22JUST 4006 CITED TRAFFIC CITATIONS COMPARED TO 129,597

1:31:51PROGRESS ENFORCEMENT REMAINS WELL BELOW PRE-PANDEMIC LEVELS

1:31:55WHICH WERE ALREADY WELL BELOW HISTORIC AVERAGES.

1:31:59AT THE SAME TIME PEDESTRIAN DEATHS ARE UP YEAR OVER YEAR.

1:32:02AND ENFORCEMENT FOR SPEEDING THE SINGLE BIGGEST FACTOR

1:32:04IN WHETHER PEDESTRIANS SURVIVES A COLLISION IS ESSENTIALLY FLAT

1:32:091160 CITATIONS IN THE FIRST HALF OF THIS YEAR UP LESS THAN

1:32:132% FROM 1138 THE YEAR BEFORE. >> THE HEARING UPDATE WILL BE

1:32:17AN OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS THESE TRENDS WITH THE POLICE

1:32:18DEPARTMENT AND TO EXPLORE AND UNDERSTAND THE DEPARTMENT'S

1:32:21PLANS FOR FURTHER PROGRESS. WE'LL ALSO HEAR FROM THE MTA ON

1:32:24THE STATUS OF THEIR SPEED SAFETY CAMERA PROGRAM AFTER A

1:32:26YEAR IN OPERATION. I WANT TO THANK SUPERVISORS

1:32:29SHERYL AND SÖDER FOR THEIR CO-SPONSORSHIP OF THE HEARING

1:32:32WALK S.F. AND THE S.F. BICYCLE COALITION FOR THEIR ADVOCACY

1:32:36AROUND THE ISSUE AND S.F. PD AND S.F. MTA FOR THEIR

1:32:40ENGAGEMENT WITH US IN PLANNING FOR THIS FIFTH AND FINAL

1:32:44APPEARANCE OF THIS HEARING AT LEAST DURING MY TIME ON THE

1:32:48BOARD. >> AND THE REST I SUBMIT.

1:32:49THANK YOU MR. PRESIDENT. >> SUPERVISOR SAUDER THANK YOU,

1:32:52MADAM CLERK. COLLEAGUES TODAY I'M

1:32:55INTRODUCING A DRAFTING REQUEST TO EXPAND OUR CITY'S COMMERCIAL

1:32:59TO RESIDENTIAL ADAPTIVE REUSE PROGRAM.

1:33:02>> THIS PROGRAM WAS CREATED IN 2023 TO FACILITATE THE

1:33:06CONVERSION OF LONG VACANT COMMERCIAL SPACES INTO REAL

1:33:09HOUSING FOR OUR CONSTITUENTS. SINCE THEN WE'VE SEEN GREAT

1:33:14PROMISE WITH THE FOUR PROJECTS THAT ARE ACTIVELY USING THE

1:33:19PROGRAM 2300 STOCKTON AND 505 75 SUTTER IN MY DISTRICT

1:33:25AND NINE ONE MARKET AND 150 HAYES IN DISTRICT SIX.

1:33:28>> EACH OF THESE PROJECTS IS USING ADAPTIVE REUSE PLUS

1:33:32VARIOUS LOCAL INCENTIVES TO ACHIEVE FEASIBILITY

1:33:33AND TOGETHER THESE FOUR PROJECTS ARE CREATING NEARLY

1:33:37500 HOMES IN EXISTING EMPTY COMMERCIAL SPACES.

1:33:41>> PROJECTS USING OUR CURRENT ADAPTIVE REUSE PROGRAM HAVE

1:33:45SHARED THAT THEIR USE OF THIS PROGRAM IS EXPECTED TO SAVE

1:33:48THEM 6 TO 12 MONTHS OF PROJECT TIME ALLOWING THESE HUNDREDS OF

1:33:52NEW HOMES TO COME ONLINE UP TO A YEAR EARLIER THAN THEY WOULD

1:33:55HAVE OTHERWISE. >> WE OF COURSE FIND OURSELVES

1:34:00IN THE MIDST OF AN EXTREME HOUSING CRISIS AS A CITY AND WE

1:34:03DESPERATELY NEED MORE HOUSING CREATED AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

1:34:07WE CAN FILL LONG VACANT SPACES IN OUR NEIGHBORHOOD

1:34:11AND PRESERVE MANY OF THE BUILDINGS THAT WE LOVE MOST.

1:34:14THIS PROGRAM OFFERS A UNIQUE COMBINATION OF ALL OF THESE

1:34:18NEEDS. WE COULD SEE WE COULD BE SEEING

1:34:19MORE INFILL HOUSING DELIVERED UP TO A YEAR EARLIER FILLING

1:34:23LONG VACANT COMMERCIAL SPACES. IN SHORT, THE PROGRAM WORKS BUT

1:34:29IT IS LIMITED TODAY BY THE INITIAL GUIDELINES

1:34:30AND BOUNDARIES THAT WERE DEVELOPED IN 2023.

1:34:34I BELIEVE IT'S TIME TO MAKE THIS PROGRAM MORE FEASIBLE,

1:34:37FLEXIBLE AND ATTRACTIVE SO THAT MORE EMPTY COMMERCIAL SPACES

1:34:41CAN BE NEW HOMES INSTEAD. >> AND THAT IS WHY I'VE ASKED

1:34:45THE CITY ATTORNEY TO WORK ON LEGISLATION TO FILL THE GAPS

1:34:47THAT WE'VE IDENTIFIED IN THE COMMERCIAL TO RESIDENTIAL

1:34:50ADAPTIVE REUSE PROGRAM. WE WILL DO THIS BY FIRST

1:34:54EXPANDING THE BOUNDARIES OF THE PROGRAM ELIGIBILITY ZONE TO

1:34:58INCLUDE MORE PARTS OF DISTRICTS THREE, SIX, TWO AND FIVE.

1:35:04FOR EXAMPLE, LARGE SWATHS OF SOMA CURRENTLY DON'T HAVE

1:35:05ACCESS TO THE PROGRAM NOR DO MANY EMPTY COMMERCIAL BUILDINGS

1:35:11THAT DOT VAN NESS AVENUE. >> WE'LL ALSO LOOK TO MAKE THE

1:35:15ADAPTIVE REUSE PROJECTS MORE FEASIBLE BY EXPANDING THE LOCAL

1:35:19INCENTIVES THAT CAN BE USED IN CONJUNCTION WITH THE PROGRAM

1:35:22. I WANT TO THANK O IWD PLANNING

1:35:24AND SUPERVISOR DORSEY FOR THEIR EARLY PARTNERSHIP ON THIS.

1:35:27I LOOK FORWARD TO CONTINUING TO WORK WITH MY FELLOW DOWNTOWN

1:35:31SUPERVISORS TO DECIDE WHERE EXACTLY WE WANT TO SEE THESE

1:35:35PROJECTS HAPPENING IN OUR DISTRICT AND THE REST I SUBMIT.

1:35:39>> THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR SUTTER SUPERVISOR

1:35:40CHERYL SUBMIT. >> THANK YOU.

1:35:43SUPERVISOR WALTON THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.

1:35:54>> COLLEAGUES TODAY WE PAUSE TO HONOR THE LIFE AND LEGACY OF

1:36:02ROLAND LEE WILLIAMS SENIOR. AFFECTIONATELY KNOWN AS DODIE

1:36:06AND DOUGHBOY WHO PASSED AWAY ON SEPTEMBER 14TH, 2026.

1:36:12>> ROLAND WAS A BELOVED HUSBAND, FATHER, GRANDFATHER,

1:36:15BROTHER, PASTOR UNION BROTHER, COACH, ENTREPRENEUR AND FRIEND

1:36:22WHOSE LIFE LEFT A LASTING MARK ON SAN FRANCISCO AND ESPECIALLY

1:36:26THE BAYVIEW COMMUNITY. HE CALLED HOME.

1:36:30BORN AND RAISED IN SAN FRANCISCO.

1:36:34ROLAND WAS A PROUD GRADUATE OF BALBOA HIGH SCHOOL WHEREAS THE

1:36:38ATHLETIC TALENT AND COMPETITIVE SPIRIT MADE HIM A STANDOUT

1:36:42FOOTBALL PLAYER. >> HE CONTINUED HIS EDUCATION

1:36:43AT CITY COLLEGE OF SAN FRANCISCO CARRYING THE

1:36:46DETERMINATION AND DRIVE THAT WOULD DEFINE HIM THROUGHOUT HIS

1:36:50LIFE. ROLAND BELIEVED THAT SUCCESS

1:36:54CAME FROM HARD WORK, COMMITMENT AND GIVING YOUR BEST TO

1:36:58WHATEVER YOU SET OUT TO ACCOMPLISH.

1:37:00FOR 26 YEARS ROLAND WAS A PROUD MEMBER OF THE UNITED

1:37:05ASSOCIATION LOCAL 38 PLUMBERS AND PIPEFITTERS BUILDING A

1:37:08RESPECTED CAREER IN THE TRADES AND WORKING HARD TO PROVIDE FOR

1:37:12HIS FAMILY. HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT LED

1:37:15HIM TO PURSUE OPPORTUNITIES BEYOND HIS PROFESSION.

1:37:20ALWAYS LOOKING FOR WAYS TO BUILD, CREATE AND PROVIDE FOR

1:37:24THE PEOPLE HE LOVED. >> A PROUD FATHER PROGRAM

1:37:31FATHER HE ALSO MY APOLOGIES. BUT ROLAND'S CONTRIBUTIONS

1:37:36EXTENDED FAR BEYOND HIS WORK. HE WAS DEEPLY ROOTED IN THE

1:37:40BAYVIEW COMMUNITY WHERE HE BUILT RELATIONSHIPS ACROSS

1:37:44GENERATIONS AND BECAME A FAMILIAR BELOVED PRESENCE.

1:37:48WHETHER HE WAS ENTERTAINING A CROWD HOSTING A GATHERING,

1:37:52TELLING STORIES, MAKING PEOPLE LAUGH OR BRINGING PEOPLE

1:37:56TOGETHER. ROLAND HAD A GIFT FOR MAKING

1:37:59OTHERS FEEL WELCOME. WHEN DOUGHBOY WAS IN THE

1:38:03BUILDING YOU KNEW IT. HIS LOVE OF SPORTS CONTINUED

1:38:07THROUGHOUT HIS LIFE, INCLUDING COACHING THE WOMEN'S SOFTBALL

1:38:11TEAM HAT CITY SITUATION AND AS COACH DOUGHBOY.

1:38:15HE MENTORED HIS PLAYERS, CHALLENGED THEM, ENCOURAGED

1:38:18THEM AND TOOK PRIDE IN WATCHING THEM GROW AND SUCCEED.

1:38:24TWO ROLLING COACHING WAS ABOUT MORE THAN A GAME.

1:38:25IT WAS ABOUT RELATIONSHIPS, LOYALTY, LEADERSHIP

1:38:31AND BELIEVING IN PEOPLE. AND OF COURSE ROLAND KNEW HOW

1:38:36TO ENJOY LIFE. MUSIC WAS ALWAYS CLOSE TO HIS

1:38:39HEART ESPECIALLY OLD SCHOOL R&B BUT HIS TASTES CROSSED

1:38:44GENERATIONS AND GENRES. HE PROUDLY CHEERED FOR THE SAN

1:38:50FRANCISCO 40 NINERS GIANTS AND GOLDEN STATE WARRIORS.

1:38:54HE LOVED TO TRAVEL ENJOY GOOD FOOD, DRESS WELL AND SPEND TIME

1:38:58WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS. >> SOMETIMES HAPPINESS WAS AS

1:39:02SIMPLE AS A GOOD CHEESEBURGER AND FRIES.

1:39:05ROLAND LIVED A LIFE ON HIS OWN TERMS WITH CONFIDENCE, HUMOR,

1:39:12PASSION AND AN UNMISTAKABLE PRESENCE.

1:39:15AT THE FOUNDATION OF HIS LIFE WAS HIS FAITH IN GOD.

1:39:19ROLAND BECAME AN ORDAINED PASTOR DEEPENING HIS SPIRITUAL

1:39:23JOURNEY AND FINDING STRENGTH IN HIS RELATIONSHIP WITH THE

1:39:27LORD THROUGH LIFE'S JOYS AND CHALLENGES.

1:39:31ABOVE ALL, HIS TITLES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS FAMILY WAS

1:39:35ROLAND'S GREATEST LEGACY. HE SHARED NEARLY FOUR DECADES

1:39:39OF LIFE AND LOVE WITH HIS WIFE AND LIFELONG PARTNER LAKISHA.

1:39:47HE WAS A PROUD FATHER AND LOVING GRANDFATHER.

1:39:50HE ALSO LEAVES BEHIND HIS BROTHERS EXTENDED FAMILY UNION

1:39:54BROTHERS, TEAMMATES, PLAYERS, GODCHILDREN AND COUNTLESS

1:39:59FRIENDS WHO BECAME FAMILY. TODAY WE RECOGNIZE THAT A LIFE

1:40:03LIKE ROLAND'S CAN NOT BE MEASURED BY TITLES YEARS OF

1:40:06SERVICE OR LISTS OF ACCOMPLISHMENTS.

1:40:10>> IT IS MEASURED BY THE PEOPLE HE LOVED THE PEOPLE HE

1:40:14MENTORED, THE LAUGHTER HE SHARED THE WORK HE PUT IN AND

1:40:18THE MEMORIES HE CREATED. HIS ABSENCE WILL BE DEEPLY FELT

1:40:21THROUGHOUT THE BAYVIEW AND ACROSS MANY CIRCLES OF

1:40:25PEOPLE WHOSE LIVES HE TOUCHED. HIS PHYSICAL PRESENCE MAY BE

1:40:30GONE BUT HIS LAUGHTER WILL LIVE ON IN THE STORIES PEOPLE TELL.

1:40:36HIS LESSONS WILL LIVE ON AND THOSE HE COACHED

1:40:41AND MENTORED HIS LOVE WILL LIVE ON IN HIS FAMILY IN HIS SPIRIT

1:40:44WILL LIVE ON IN THE BAYVIEW COMMUNITY HE HELPED SHAPE.

1:51:30SHIFTING IT ON TO HOMEOWNERS. BEHIND MY HOUSE RUNS AN EIGHT

1:51:34INCH SEWER MAIN AND A FIVE FOOT EASEMENT THAT THE CITY RECORDED

1:51:37BY ORDINANCE. THE LINE CARRIES RUNOFF FROM

1:51:40THE CITY'S OWN STREET DRAINS. THE CITY DID EASEMENT WORK ON

1:51:45IT IN 2019 AND AS A POSSE INSPECTED IT IN 2021.

1:51:47>> IN JUNE OF THIS YEAR DURING PERMITTED RETAINING WALL

2:03:22ACTUALLY BELIEVE. HERE IS AN AI DEVELOPER AT

2:03:25ANTHROPIC JOE CARL SMITH, COAUTHOR OF CLOUDS CONSTITUTION

2:03:30IS HUMAN CONTROL OVER AIR IS GOOD.

2:03:34WE CAN IMAGINE VARIOUS SCENARIOS WHERE IT ISN'T.

2:03:37AND I DO THINK THAT SOME SCENARIOS LIKE THIS ARE A REAL

2:03:39CONCERN. FOR EXAMPLE, I THINK THERE ARE

2:03:42SALIENT SCENARIOS WHERE HUMAN EFFORTS TO MAINTAIN CERTAIN

2:03:45KINDS OF CONTROL OVER AIR IN PARTICULAR AIR IS WITH MORAL

2:03:46PATIENT WHO ARE UNJUST OR BAD FOR THE FUTURE.

2:03:49OR BOTH. WHERE THE AIR IS WOULD BE

2:03:53JUSTIFIED IN GOING ROGUE EVEN BY THE LIKES OF HUMAN MORALITY

2:03:57JUSTIFIED AND GOING ROGUE EVEN BY THE LIGHTS OF HUMAN

2:04:00MORALITY. HERE IS CEO SAM ALTMAN OF OPEN

2:04:04AIR WHEN THE US GOVERNMENT BOMBED IRAN RECENTLY.

2:04:30UNIMAGINABLE POWER AND MIGHT AND CAN KIND OF DO WHATEVER

2:04:34THEY WANT TO. >> OKAY.

2:04:35HE JUST SAID THAT HE THINKS EVENTUALLY OPEN THE EYE.

2:04:38MAYBE SOMEDAY GETS TO THE LEVEL OF THE US MILITARY.

2:04:41THAT'S THAT'S WHAT HE JUST SAID.

2:04:45>> OKAY. HERE IS JEROME LANIER, A

2:04:46SCIENTIST AT MICROSOFT DOING AN INTERVIEW.

2:04:49>> TALK TO THE PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE THAT STUFF ALL THE

2:04:53TIME. AND INCREASINGLY A LOT OF THEM

2:04:55BELIEVE THAT IT WOULD BE GOOD TO WIPE OUT PEOPLE AND THAT THE

2:04:57FUTURE WOULD BE A BETTER ONE AND THAT WE SHOULD WEAR A

2:05:00DISPOSABLE TEMPORARY CONTAINER FOR THE BIRTH OF IT.

2:05:04I HEAR THAT OPINION QUITE A LOT.

2:05:06THAT'S A REAL OPINION HELD BY REAL PEOPLE.

2:05:07MANY MANY. I MEAN LIKE YEAH WE HAD A LUNCH

2:10:23THEY'RE ORDERING SERVICES SUCH AS WAYMO FROM THE SAME LOCATION

2:10:27TO THE SAME DESTINATION AT THE SAME EXACT TIME.

2:10:31WAYMO WAS CITING THAT THERE'S THE PRICE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN

2:10:34TWO PEOPLE, FOR EXAMPLE, WHO ARE STANDING NEXT TO EACH OTHER

2:10:36SHOULDER SHOULDER APART. IS BECAUSE OF DYNAMIC PRICING.

2:10:58AZALEAS CREEK BRIDGE CLOSURE THAT AREA.

2:11:01THEY'RE CONCERNED ABOUT THE TRANSPORTATION.

2:11:05AND SO URGING THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS TO NOT ONLY MEET

2:11:09WITH A STAFF MTA OR OTHER TRANSPORTATION PERSON SO THAT

2:11:14WE HAVE A CLEAR RELIABLE TRANSPORTATION TO THIS AREA

2:11:17AND THE WALKWAYS AND OTHER PEDESTRIAN AREAS ARE SAFE.

2:11:22AND THERE'S CLEAR SIGNAGE. NUMBER THREE, WE'RE ALSO

2:11:28CONCERNED ABOUT THE CONTRACTS. SO THERE'S DEVELOPERS AND OTHER

2:11:33PEOPLE FROM CONDUCTING BUSINESS IN DISTRICT TEN.
