The San Francisco Board of Supervisors acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramutosh Ohlone, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramitusha Ohlone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Ramitusha Ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples. will you join me in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, and to God, indivisible, with liberty, and justice for all. On behalf of the board, I want to acknowledge the staff at SFGovTV, and today that's especially Eugene Labadia, who record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. Madam Clerk, let's go to our 2 p.m. special order. Yes, the special order at 2 p.m. is the appearance at today's meeting by the Honorable Mayor Daniel Lurie, present to engage in a formal policy discussion with eligible board members, being one through four. Prior to the discussion, the mayor may address the board for up to five minutes. Welcome, Mr. Mayor. There were no topics submitted for today, so we have the opportunity to hear from you for up to five minutes. Thank you, Board President. Good afternoon, everyone. I want to start by thanking the Board of Supervisors and the Land Use Committee as we continue to advance the family zoning plan. We want to make sure this is a city where police officers, nurses, and teachers can afford to raise their children and grandchildren. My office has been working closely with all of you to ensure that San Franciscans decide what gets built in San Francisco. As we work to build a city that supports families, we received encouraging news on another front. In October, we recorded the lowest number of overdose deaths since the city started tracking in 2020. It's the second month in a row with fewer than 40 overdose deaths. Now, that is progress, but one death is one too many. We have all seen people struggling on our streets and in our neighborhoods. That's why we are bringing a new level of coordination to our public safety and public health strategies, disrupting open-air drug markets and connecting people to treatment faster. I am proud of the work that we have done together over the past 11 months to confront this crisis with a shared sense of urgency and purpose. And as we look to next year, we are working to stand up a new center with the support of Supervisor Dorsey that will help us continue to move that work forward. Now, I'm going to close with this.
