coalition members include the san francisco labor council, jobs with justice, san francisco rising, the chinese progressive association, bright line defence , and faith in action. together, this coalition will convene around shared goals and principles of true economic fairness, including a just tax system and equitable revenue measures. the coalition will spend the next year developing a comprehensive strategy to address the root issues of economic inequality in our city, and finally, with this coalition , we will review and recommend changes to our tax code centred on economic fairness and equity, examine what true prosperity for all looks like, and what we need to get there and take comprehensive actions to do so. i want to thank the deputy city attorney for their work on this initiative. ted egan for developing the revenue projections, on and my colleagues for your support. i especially want to our shared prosperity partners who worked with us to develop this initiative and who are excited to work with us in the year ahead on a broader plan under address economic inequality. the san

in san francisco that we're aware of. earlier, companies from 2019 would not have made that deadline and would not have been covered. subsequent ones from companies such as slack and any future ones would be covered. it's also important to keep in mind that the tax-based compensation is a tax on the business. it's not a tax on the employees that receive the tax-based compensation. so on the uber i.p.o., we expect there'll be millions of dollars flowing into the oakland economy. this would increase the tax on uber as a result of the tax-based compensation -- stock-based compensation that they pay to plyys. stock-based compensation is largely associated with the tech companies, and it's believed this is to create incentives for employees to achieve growth goals for the companies morning cash-based wages and salary. so because of this reason, in san francisco, given our economy, it's likely that the bulk of the burden of this tax would fall on the tech sector. and because of that, i think it's worth considering some of the i

i've lived in san francisco 29 years. my wife and i live in a rent controlled two unit building, in the sunset for 12 years. although i'm committed to teaching for the next school year, my wife and i cannot wait to see if and when our unit is sold. the first weekend in august we are meeting with a realtor in portland, oregon to look at condos to purchase. this will not happen soon, may happen sooner or later. but we can't wait. and as regards to the francis scott key, i've looked at the proposal, looked at the unit sizes, and the cost. it will be a smaller unit for nearly twice the price we currently pay. i love living in san francisco, lived here 29 years, i feel like i'm a sense of the community in my neighborhood, my families i serve are my neighbors, and i don't -- i walk to work. i consider myself very fortunate in my situation right now. we can't wait for the other shoe to drop, we are looking elsewhere. thank you for your time. >> hi, my name is tom ashby, p.e. teacher in a middle school, and how i got the position

law in san francisco 17 years ago. i did not tell you how delighted i am that we're all falling all over each other, whether it's the mayor's executive orders or what's been done by supervisors chiu and wiener and my predecessor, christiansen, supervisor mar who's working with planning. many members of this board, we are all over it. as a matter of fact, we have been the example to the state of california and many municipalities have copied us, and now the state legislative is falling all over itself to repeat. item 58 was based on a.d.u.s. >> i am truly for assembly bill 68 as it relates to jurisdictions that do not have robust controls, that do not have a.d.u. control schemes, god bless. in san francisco, if out of here 1 -- our 120,000 single-family homes, if 5% did it, we'd have 30,000 low-income homes. my office continues to work with assembly member ting. i think our office has disseminated a fact sheet to all offices in this building with respect to three outstanding amendments, but i think given the late part o

i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy, >> supervisor walton: good morning, everybody. we will now call this july 29, 2019 rules committee to order. i'm going to be sitting in for supervisor ronen, who is absent today. and then, i want to thank supervisor mandelman for sitting in and taking my place today. our clerk today is victor young. and who do we have for sfgov? and today, we have michael baltazar and samuel wick. okay. so first, i'd like to have a motion to excuse supervisor ronen. and with that, i'll take that as a majority. with that, do you have any announcements mr. clerk? >> clerk: yes. please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. complet

and the san francisco c.t.a. at the same time, there is a second thing going on, which is we are taxing a mode of transportation that is shown to create congestion and using that money to fund modes of transportation that could reduce transportation. there is an economic benefit. unfortunately, the first of phnom -- economic impact, with the data to analyse, and the second we don't. when i say, as we conclude in the report, that this is a mildly negative economic impact. that is a result of placing the tax on the consumers and spending the money at the city. it is a fairly small impact of 25 million-dollar reduction to the g.d.p., which is less then the tax that is raised. we are not able, because of data limitations to estimate how responsive t.n.c. ridership would be to be an increase in fares, although we expected to decline somewhat. the only kind of caveat that we mentioned in our report is about the proposed tax and it also includes autonomous vehicles. at present, there are no autonomous vehicles doing rid

san francisco was emerging as the so-called paris of the west, but san francisco also needs to prioritize the protection of the historic legacy of san francisco landmarks in danger of being extinguished. i live at 301 get beer street, which is a university mound right in the heart of the portillo district. it was once known as san francisco's garden. in 2016, supervisor campos officially named it the garden district. for the title of the garden district not to sound hollow, the city must follow through and help restore university mound greenhouses. it is the last -- if the -- it is the last of the 21 greenhouses that used to be scattered throughout the portola in the 1920s, the portola was home to 19 family-owned nurseries. this is where the overwhelming majority of produce and flowers were sold in san francisco. cities need to become more sustainable. 770 woolsey can be reborn to its past glory by becoming a thriving example of urban agriculture and what is the second densest city in the country. it cannot only become an important community asset, but a model for other cities. building a

this is my 23rd san francisco pride. my 29th overall pride since i came out as a gay man a long, long time ago. time flies. i am optimistic for our community in many ways. this community that been through so much in terms of the hate crimes and the worst of the hiv aids crisis and housing crisis and all of the other weighs in which our community that struggled over the years in san francisco and elsewhere. we are so resilient and the community comes back and comes back and gets stronger and stronger. i am so proud to be part of our lbgt community, particularly in san francisco. that doesn't mean we don't center challenges. i think pride is the right time of the year for us to recommit to celebrate and recommit to the fight. of course, we know what this guy is doing in washington, d.c. in the white house to undermine and harm our community including our children, attacking children. it is something that it is hard to fathom that you have a president of the united states who would attack lbgt children. apart from what he i

mary's are san francisco residents. to provide a proper assessment of the impact that this closure will have, i want to provide the background in context. this is one form of treatment used for cardiovascular disease and most specifically heart failure and coronary heart disease. cardiovascular disease is largely preventible, yet it is still the leading cause of death for men and women in the united states and more locally, four out of the top 20 leading causes of deaths in san francisco are also cardiovascular diseases, and they account for about 25% of all san francisco resident death. cardiovascular disease in pedestrian also disproportionately impacts vulnerable populations. for example, hospitalizations and emergency room visits for cardiovascular diseases in san francisco are highest among residents in the southeast half of the city, and among those who live in households earning less than 30 # o% of the federal poverty level. the neighborhoods with the highest hospitalizations and emergency room visit rates for h

san francisco generates 3 million tons of waste a year. despite our efforts to date, this amount continues to grow. we are recycling and composting with the best of them, but it is now clear that we will never achieve our zero waste goals if our consumption and generation continues to grow. we need to change. we need to make refuse the new recycling. in 2012, the sent -- san francisco was the first sitting california to implement a 10-cent charge on all bags at checkout, including paper, plastic, and reusable bags. since we have implemented the checkout bag charge, many other california cities have followed suit. and today, a dozen other cities in california have mandated a checkup bag charge higher than 10 cents. the cities of san mateo, santa cruz, monterey, pacifica charges 25 cents, as to the counties of san mateo and santa clara. it is time for us to do the same this legislation proposes to increase our bag charge from 10 cents to 25 cents, effective july 1st, 2020. this legislation also takes a new step in combating plastic waste. it

i was born and raised in san francisco both in the richmond district and san francisco chinatown. i spent time in los angeles as a public defender. i served as a public defender in la for eight years i returned to my hometown here to work as a conflict counsel. it's the exact same type of work as a public defender, minus the recognition, minus the support staff and minus the benefits. in my eight years here, i continued on as a conflict counsel and did not apply for any public defender's office because my experience has opened my eyes to the fact that the clients who cannot be represented by the public defender's office still - due to a conflict of interest, still deserve a robust defense. i am a certified criminal law specialist. there are only 20 of us in san francisco. of the 20, 10 belong to our panel. i have personally tried and one life cases and there are many more experienced attorneys on our panel. all of us choose to do this type of work as opposed to privately retained work because we believe in representing those most marginalized in our communities. we want to be able

san francisco in general that we don't lose a grip of what san francisco's came from. tommy's is a place that you'll always recognize whenever you lock in the door. you'll see the same staff, the same bartender and have the same meal and that is great. that's important. ♪ >> the service that san francisco heritage offers to the legacy businesses is to help them with that application process, to make sure that they really recognize about them what it is that makes them so special here in san francisco. ♪ so we'll help them with that application process if, in fact, the board of supervisors does recognize them as a legacy business, then that does entitle them to certain financial benefits from the city of san francisco. but i say really, more importantly, it really brings them public recognition that this is a business in san francisco that has history and that is unique to san francisco. >> it started in june of 1953. ♪ and we make everything from scratch. everything. we started a you -- we started a off with 12 flavors and mango fruits from the philippines and th

paul monkay from san francisco housing services. last year, mayor breed said in response to proposition c, the city needs to you haudit the $ million that we're spending on homeless services and that san franciscan deserve accountability for the money that we've already paid. mayor breed recognized that the existing oversight structures are not sufficient, that there still needs work to be done on that end. this statement by the mayor is a call to action, and this proposal is a direct response to that call for action. we've heard concerns that having a commission in place could slow down services, and believe me, we are the last people that want to see delays in contracting because it affects our ability to keep lights on and provide services, but in our community, there is a strong support for the commission because we believe there will identify delays in contracting and help us campaign for the most critical issues facing our city now. >> good morning, supervisors, but thank you so much for the opportunity. my name is malia chave

coalition for san francisco. and san francisco education and action committee. here on my behalf here in support of the sun light on dark money initiative. this initiative would take steps to level the playing field by increased disclosure, limiting contributions, and enforcement to ensure compliance. it would take steps to control some of the excesses created by citizens united. it would repeal the board of supervisors' ordinance from 2015 eliminating certain disclosure requirements for independent expenditure committees. it would implement safeguards against pay-to-play for that appearance on development decisions. i would like to acknowledge each of the supervisors who have sponsored this initiative. it would move the election process in a better and more equitiable direction. it would make elections more competitive even for those candidates without deep pocket donor base. it would encourage more candidates to run who might not otherwise because of the daunting task of competing with candidates connected to super p.a.c.s, and hopefully this will reign in the

we do have transmission lines here in san francisco. all of those transmission lines are underground or out in the bay, except for a small portion down at hunter's point which will be undergrounded in the near future when we put in a new substation there. so you do have more underground distribution than you do overhead distribution. the joint pole authority was created so that we could reduce the number of poles that have to be in your neighborhoods. we wanted to also ensure safe safety/reliability in a way that we can all work together. so as part of the joint pole authority, we follow all of those standard procedures to ensure that there's an accurate inventory of poles, that each attachment is applied for, all of the things that the cpuc speaker mr. palmer referred to before. we all work together and that's where -- we all work together, but we also know there is go 95 and we work under that and that kind of sets our protocols for our routine patrols and inspections. in urban environments like san francisco, we look at every pole ev

eric brooks, san francisco spois and san francisco clean energy advocates. thank you, supervisor mandelman for finally bringing this forward with the word emergency and making it a real discussion about that. what you've done is crucial, but just to echo what the previous speaker said, the report is nice and shiny and talks about bad things that are happening and maybe some disorganized steps to do something about them, but it's not to the level of what we need, and since 2009 when it was clear that cleanpowersf would start-up, our coalition has been strongly advocating for a citywide planned renewable energy and efficiency buildout for the entire city. if you look in your e-mail boxes and if your staff looks, i e-mailed all the members of the staff plus supervisor mandelman a copy of the sydney, australia green energy plan. we've been peddling that around in order to get in front of supervisors what needs to be done next. that plan is amazing, and please help us get it off the ground in the next year. what we've found that's a barrier to us is because the s

i would always escape to san francisco because through and through i am an artist and san francisco always have that. i remember walking through the streets and seeing how beautiful it is. you could feel it. you could feel the energy. right now, it is no secret what is happening. i could echo it again. mezzanine, and dna lounge, all of these venues help out artists specifically. not only just use it come on talking about, artists, painters i am pretty stubborn and i plan on staying and being a san francisco artist. these small independent venues host art shows that let people know that the art and san francisco is actually still alive. @ artists are getting pushed out to san francisco. they're going to oakland, getting pushed out of oakland. pardon my french but i call bull ship. we are still here, we just need to make sure that there are places like mezzanine, all of these places that help us out, they are there so we can grow and thrive. that's it. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. my name is aaron met her, i am the tell a buyer for mezzanine come as so basically i negotiate

i love our san francisco summer weather. speaking of nert, as supervisor brown just mentioned, i want to recognize, we do have some nert volunteers right here, and nert is going to be critical in the event -- [applaus [applause] >> in the event >> -- in the event of a disaster. we know it's not if, it's when. i want to recognize mohamed nuru. he's been a great ally for us and working with us. in the event of a disaster, our fire department needs to respond immediately. our firefighters and e.m.s. workers work 24-7, 365, and we need to be able to respond immediately. and this bill will provide the funding that we need to invest in our public safety infrastructure so we can continue to bring the city and the citizens the best service that we possibly can, but especially during a disaster. so thank you all for being here today. good day. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: all right. our last speaker for this program before we finally sign this legislation is the chief of the police department, bill scott. [applaus [applause]

>> the san francisco puc, yes. >> supervisor fewer: the san francisco puc. you don't jointly own poles with the san francisco puc? >> no, we would rent space. >> supervisor fewer: you would rent space. >> yes. >> supervisor fewer: so the san francisco puc that owns these poles, they only rent space, they don't have co-ownership; is that correct? >> right. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. >> yeah, i know it's all confusing. i'm grateful for this hearing because i learned quite a bit about my own company because i don't normally do all this engineering stuff. yes, then there's the abandoned equipment question which i know that is very important to you, supervisor fewer, yes, so the definition under go 95 is if it's considered to have no future foreseeable use. in san francisco where we have so much churn as far as residents and there's a lot of renters and i actually have friends who change their cable provider every year just to get a bit more miles for their flight programs, people change all the time. so as long as that technology is still something that we'
