Walton present and Supervisor Wong. Wong, Wong present. Mr. President, all members are present.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors acknowledges that we are on the

unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramatush 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 Ramatush 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

Ramitush Ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples.

Colleagues 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, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

On behalf of the Board, I want to acknowledge the staff at SFGovTV.

Today, that is especially Kalina Mendoza.

They record each of our meetings and make our transcripts available to the public online.

And with that, Madam Clerk, can you take us to our 2 p.m. special order?

Yes, the 2 p.m. special order is the appearance by the Honorable Mayor Daniel Lurie.

He shall discuss eligible topics submitted from eligible districts.

The mayor may address the board initially for up to five minutes.

Welcome, Mr. Mayor.

Do you have any opening remarks?

Good afternoon, Board President Mandelman and members of the board.

As we come to the close of this final Board of Supervisors session of the year,

we also mark nearly one full year of working side-by-side in service to the city that I know

we all love. Moments like this invite reflection and gratitude. I want to thank each of you for

your dedication to the people of San Francisco and your willingness to work together. Because

of the collaboration we have seen this past year, San Francisco is a city on the rise.

Today, 62% of San Franciscans feel that way, compared to just 28% last year.

That confidence is earned through our shared commitment to results and to making city government work better for the people that we serve.

Board President Mandelman, from my first day in office, you have set the tone for this body and for the strong collaboration across supervisors and departments.

Thank you for working together to make it easier for small businesses and restaurants

by eliminating permits and fees for simply placing tables and chairs on the sidewalk.

I look forward to continuing our work to reform the charter and make it more effective and

accountable to our residents. I am also deeply grateful for the advice and counsel you have

generously shared with me since my first day in office.

Supervisor Chan, we worked together collaboratively to put forward a balanced budget that focused

on core services and set our city up for success.

I appreciate you and thank you for your partnership.

Supervisor Cheryl, we have worked together to help our small businesses.

You have been a champion in providing resources to help our small businesses thrive through Permit SF,

specifically entertainment permits and first-year free.

Thank you, Supervisor Cheryl.

Supervisor Sauer, you and I both understand that public safety is key to our comeback.

The sideshow legislation you put forward will help keep our community safe

by raising the fines for these dangerous sideshows to be in line with our neighboring counties.

Thank you for your leadership on that, Supervisor South.

Supervisor Wong, in your first week in office, you started working to represent the people of the Sunset and Parkside with pride.

For Day 300 of Permit SF, you partnered with my office to introduce legislation that will modernize our outdated street tree permitting process and in turn save residents time and money.

Thank you, Supervisor Wong.

Supervisor Mahmood, thank you for your partnership in securing $3.4 million in philanthropic

funding for immigrant legal defense.

The funds helped our Public Defenders Immigration Defense Unit and ensures that San Franciscans

and San Francisco stands up for our values.

Thank you, Supervisor Mahmood.

Supervisor Dorsey, through our partnership, we have opened over 500 treatment beds and

recovery beds in San Francisco and I'm proud to have worked together with you

to make San Francisco a recovery first city. Thank You Supervisor. Supervisor

Melgar, last week alongside you and many in this room I signed the family zoning

plan. That would not have happened or been possible without your diligent work

chairing the land use committee. That include long hearings and multiple

amendments. You helped make the legislation stronger. Thank you, Supervisor Melgar.

Supervisor Fielder, when the federal government was prepared to let families in San Francisco go

without food, we worked together to provide emergency funding for SNAP recipients.

Thank you, Supervisor Fielder. Supervisor Walton, thank you for your leadership in delivering

the Gateway Project at 749 Toland Street in the heart of the Bayview-Hunters Point Industrial

Corps. This project will help San Francisco create great jobs, good jobs, while delivering

meaningful community benefits. Thank you, Supervisor Walton. And Supervisor Chen,

thank you for your work on the Tenant Protection Ordinance, which has earned the co-sponsorship

of every single member of this board.

I look forward to signing it and working with your office

to ensure our city can build housing and continue to protect tenants.

As we look ahead to the coming year,

I am confident in what we can accomplish together.

The challenges facing San Francisco are real,

but so is the progress we've made,

and so is the strength of this partnership.

If we continue to lead with collaboration,

focus on results, and keep our eyes on the people that we serve,

there is no doubt that our best days are still ahead of us.

I want to thank all 11 of you for your service

and for your commitment to moving San Francisco forward.

Let's go.

Thank you, Mr. Mayor.

Madam Clerk, could you please call the topic for District 5?

Yes, the District 5 topic from Supervisor Mahmood

is the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance.

Supervisor Mahmoud, please ask your opening question.

Thank you, President.

Earlier this year, the board voted to give the mayor greater power to address the fentanyl crisis quickly and avoid bureaucratic delays.

Mayor, what specific resources, tools, and contracts have been used under the Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinance to address the fentanyl crisis in this last year?

Thank you for your question, Supervisor Mahmood, and for your support of the Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinance.

Since its passage, we have moved quickly to unlock resources and deploy new tools to get fentanyl off our streets and keep San Franciscans safe.

The ordinance accelerated the implementation of critical initiatives, unlocking funding, expedited hiring and contracting,

and enabled the rapid expansion of treatment capacity.

It also supported new behavioral health initiatives and accelerated hiring of key public safety staff.

As a result, the ordinance enabled HSH to execute 31 contracts and one lease, expediting the launch of new services.

These include 219 new interim housing beds, 60 of them recovery-focused, and 594 new scattered site housing slots and expanded support for the city's large vehicle strategy.

MOHCD has also used the authority provided by the ordinance to advance five critical permanent supportive housing projects.

DPH has similarly leveraged the ordinance to quickly stand up new behavioral health programs.

The Department utilized the ordinance contracting provisions five times, including rapidly opening

approximately 150 new mental health and substance use treatment and recovery beds.

DEM and HSA worked together to expedite grants under this ordinance that continued essential

community safety ambassador programs, supporting critical neighborhoods including the Tenderloin,

mid-market, and the mission. Finally, my Office of Innovation, in partnership with SFPD,

used the ordinance to bring on pro bono consultant through the Civic Bridge Program to support

accelerated police hiring. These actions demonstrate the Fentanyl State of Emergency

Ordinance is delivering real, immediate results, moving faster than our traditional systems allow,

expanding care and housing and strengthening public safety.

It has given the city the flexibility it needed to respond to a crisis with urgency, coordination, and accountability.

And it continues to be a critical tool in our efforts to save lives and restore safety to our streets.

Thank you for the question.

Thank you, Mayor Lurie.

Supervisor Mahmood, you may now ask a follow-up question directly related to the opening question.

Thank you, Mayor, and appreciate the focus on the metrics and the impact over the last year.

Next question and follow-up is about larger revisions to strategy.

Part of the emergency order was also about finding new approaches to tackle the fentanyl crisis in a holistic different way.

One such approach that the Board of Supervisors supported via a majority of us on a resolution was around a drug market intervention strategy,

which has successfully ended opioid markets across the United States.

I wanted to ask you today whether you would add your name to support on a drug market

intervention approach to put it into practice after the board has endorsed the plan as well.

Yes, I will.

And I look forward to working with you, Supervisor Mahmood, and you, Supervisor Dorsey,

and all of the others at the board to tackle this crisis in the Tenderloin and SOMA

and wherever else it demands our attention.

I appreciate your leadership on this issue.

Thank you, Mayor.

Thank you.

All right. Mr. Mayor, I believe that you may, let's see, where's our little, where's my prompt?

You may ask a, well, have you done this before? I've never, I don't even know what I'm doing.

You can ask. Would you like to ask? No. Supervisor Mahmood or any member of the board a question?

No, I want to wish everybody in these chambers and all the supervisors a happy and healthy

holiday season take care of yourselves and I will see you in 2026 all right

Madam Clerk, let's go to our 230 special order.

Yes, our 230 special order is the commendation for the recognition of meritorious service to the city and county of San Francisco.

And I believe we're going to start today with District 9 Supervisor Fielder.

Thank you. And I'm going to ask Cameo House to please come up to the podium.

Colleagues, I am thrilled to present this commendation for Cameo House, one of the few direct service programs run by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice.

Cameo House was founded in 1998 and today provides an essential alternative sentencing and transitional housing program for justice-involved mothers

through a unique partnership run by CJCJ that is predominantly funded by the San Francisco Sheriff's Office.

Cameo House is a charming three-story Edwardian home built in 1911, located at 424 Guerrero Street.

As it happens, last night there was an explosion at the gas station immediately adjacent to the home.

Thankfully, all of the women, children, and staff on the site are okay,

and their emergency evacuation protocols were swift and commendable.

Today, in addition to being here to accept this commendation,

staff are working to ensure the families' lives aren't negatively impacted as they still have

court and other justice mandates to meet, along with family reunification visits and other

scheduled events that they need to continue as planned. Cameo House, at its core, is a supportive,

safe, and comfortable space. Residents receive mental and physical health services, substance

use treatment, parenting and life skills training, assistance navigating justice and social service

systems, vocational and educational support, housing transition planning, and opportunities

for community and civic engagement. This transformative program is one of a kind,

offering a residential alternative to incarceration where participants can live with their children

while receiving comprehensive support services. With a focus on gender responsiveness and a

commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment, Cameo House empowers women to rebuild their lives

and fosters stronger family bonds. Since its inception, the program has been a beacon of hope,

helping participants navigate challenges of reintegration and thrive as valuable community

members. The home accommodates 11 women and up to 24 children at any given time, providing each

family unit with their own private bathrooms and bedrooms. I want to paint a picture of this home.

The space is warm, welcoming, bright, and loving, with private accommodations and communal space for family play, child development, and community building.

There's a cozy living room, two dining rooms, three large full kitchens, two laundry rooms, two infant and toddler playrooms with toys and books, and an older children's room full of books with a pool table, foosball, and board games.

Outback and enclosed yard features play structures for the kids and spaces for adults to relax and connect.

The house hosts communal meals, group gatherings, birthday celebrations, and family events to nurture community and uplift families.

In fiscal year 24-25, Cameo House served 22 women and 44 children with 20 kids living on site with their moms.

Program outcomes demonstrate strong and lasting impact.

81% of program exits transitioned into permanent, stable housing.

63% of participants reduced their substance use.

88% of participants did not reoffend, underscoring the effectiveness of community-based alternatives to incarceration.

These outcomes reflect the power of providing stability, dignity, and opportunity,

not only transforming individual lives, but strengthening families and a broader community.

Thank you so much to Cameo House staff, current and former residents who have persevered through this program, and to CJCJ for your vision and determination in creating and sustaining such a model program.

Congratulations, and please go ahead.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Good afternoon.

Thank you, President Mandelman and Board of Supervisors members.

This is my first time ever doing this, so I'm a little nervous, so bear with me.

Thank you for this accommodation and for recognizing Cameo.

Thank you, Jackie Fielder and Jen Ferregno, for reaching out, coming to see our home,

becoming part of our home, and offering your support.

We really appreciate you.

And Jen, it was a pleasure having you in our home.

Cameo House was created to ensure that justice-involved women are not separated from their families

while they're working to rebuild their lives.

For the families we serve, this program offers stability, dignity, and a safe place to heal

and reunify with their children, and a real second chance.

Every day we witness the powerful transformations, mothers reuniting with their children,

securing employment, returning to school, and transitioning to permanent housing.

But beyond these outcomes, we see something just as important.

Children waking up in a safe home with their mothers and families together.

In light of the explosion that occurred last night,

it served as a stark reminder of how unpredictable life can be.

Thanks to the quick thinking and the calm responses of Cameo staff, Monette and Daisy, all the women and children were safely evacuated.

We are also deeply grateful for our contractor, Marty, who remained on site throughout the entire event.

He was stuck on the roof.

But he went into quick action.

He ensured that all the systems were properly shut off and confirmed that everyone was safely out of the building.

Their actions helped prevent further harm and kept everyone safe.

We also want to acknowledge the CJCJ's entire agency for picking in immediately and helping secure shelter and accommodations for all the families.

This recognition affirms San Francisco commitment to compassion, accountability, and community-based solutions that truly works.

is the dedication of our CAMEO staff,

the strength of our CAMEO residents,

and the partnerships such as San Francisco Sheriff's Office,

the Women's Resource Center,

the Women's Housing Coalition,

Positive Direction Sister Circle,

and many, many more community partners.

In fact, we had a property manager step up

and offer three vacant apartments for our women.

They stay there until we can get them into a shelter where they can have beds and stuff.

All of this collaboration makes this possible.

It makes it work.

It is vital that this resource remains in this community.

Remains in this community, sorry.

I want to say thank you for honoring Cameo House and for your continued investment in

keeping families together.

We are deeply grateful.

Thank you.

All right.

I note that we have been joined also by our former board president, Norman Yee, who I

I think is here for our next special commendation,

District 7 Supervisor Melgar.

Thank you, President.

Colleagues, I am honoring today,

on behalf of the Board of Supervisors,

Dr. Patricia Sullivan, known to most of us as Pat.

Dr. Sullivan was a scholar, educator, advocate,

who passed away unexpectedly earlier this year.

I really wish we had had the opportunity to honor her

when she was still with us.

Today we are joined by her family, friends, colleagues,

mentees, and community members,

everyone who was touched by her compassion,

her fierce advocacy, and lifelong commitment

to San Francisco's children and family.

So if you're here for Pat, if you could stand up, please.

Just thank you.

This is Pat's community.

So thank you.

Dr. Sullivan, Pat, was born in Detroit, Michigan.

To Gene Sullivan, an army radio man,

and Akeleen Sullivan, an art student at the time.

When Pat was a child, her parents,

with her oldest sister Kathleen,

a younger brother Michael, moved to LA,

where both parents could pursue their careers.

But in LA, a national tragedy struck,

which redirected the young family.

Her parents were already involved politically.

Her father attended Black Panther meetings.

Pat's mother worked for Bobby Kennedy

during his presidential run in 1968

and was in the ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel

the night he was assassinated.

The FBI, thinking Ackolline might have been a witness, decided to move the family to safety.

And when asked where they wanted to go, Gene and Ackolline said, San Francisco.

What they didn't tell the FBI was that they thought the revolution was going to start in San Francisco.

And they wanted to be right there in the center of things.

So from the very beginning, Pat had roots as a fighter for justice.

In San Francisco, Pat attended AP Giannini Junior High School, Washington High School, City College, and San Francisco State University.

She had several jobs after school, leaving school back up as a singer in a band, as a bartender, as a fast food manager.

but it was when she worked with children at the YMCA near Japantown, at the Buchanan YMCA,

that she found her calling. Pat decided to start her own daycare center, Baby Steps Family Child

Care. By the time Pat had her own son, Matthew, and she dedicated the rest of her life to serving

the children, student, and parents of San Francisco, it was not enough to run Baby Steps.

Pat also decided to return to San Francisco State to learn more about the field she had entered,

earning a bachelor's degree, then a master's, and then finally her doctorate of education,

specializing in early child development.

Pat brought a deep understanding of community, of equity, of belonging to her research and practice.

Her dissertation, A Trail of Breadcrumbs, Black Early Childhood Education Student Success in Higher Education, reflected on her lifelong committing to advancing educational opportunity and equity.

Her dissertation research examined the experiences and strategies of successful black early childhood education students at San Francisco State, highlighting the resilience, insight, and agency of students who persisted in higher education despite all the systemic barriers, framing her analysis through the lenses of student retention, microaggression, stereotype threat,

offering a student-centered perspective that emphasized success rather than attrition.

Her findings continue to inform approaches to improving degree completion and equity

for black students in early childhood education and beyond.

Pat received a fellowship from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation

to study early childhood teacher credentialing.

After earning her doctorate, Pat taught in the early childhood education programs

both at San Francisco State and City College. Her teaching drew deeply from her years as a family

child care provider and owner of Baby Steps Family Child Care, where she mentored generations of early

educators. She was also a published author whose scholarship and teacher research appeared in

Voices for Practitioners and other professional publications. Her most recent chapter appears in

a book edited by Daniel Meyer, extending her lifelong commitment to elevating the voices

and wisdom of early childhood educators.

Pat was known for her leadership as a director of the Family Child Care Association of San

Francisco, former board president of the Family Child Care Association of San Francisco, and

as a co-chair of Early Care Educators.

She was also appointed to represent family child care providers on the Oversight and

Advisory Committee for Early Education, where I served with her. Throughout her career, Dr. Sullivan

served as a bridge between higher education and the family child care community, working tirelessly

to improve systems for children, families, and educators across California. Pat was a beloved

colleague, a mentor, a mother, a sister, an auntie, a friend who brought warmth, humor,

and an unwavering sense of justice to every space she entered. Her life's work continues to guide

our collective efforts to support, honor, and learn from the practitioners who make early

childhood education a force for equality, for care, and for the future. Pat is survived by her son,

Matthew, Sister Kathleen and her family, her brother Michael and his family, and by hundreds,

hundreds of children and teachers she inspired throughout her work and love. I just want to

acknowledge all of the incredible early care educators and advocates who are here in the

chamber today, including my predecessor, former president, Norman Yee. I, please, please stand,

Well, her legacy lives through all of you and the work she led for better working conditions,

for early care educators, and for historic investments for family child care providers

and for black families in our city.

And through the president, before we have other supervisors speak,

I was wondering if we could hear from former president

and former District 7 Supervisor Norman Yee, who knew Pat for most of her life.

If you could come up, President Yee, I would appreciate it.

The floor is yours.

Thank you, Supervisor Melgar.

It's been a little while since I've been in this chamber.

President Mandelman and Supervisor Walton, my former colleagues, nice seeing you here.

The rest of you, you all knew, but glad to see you here, serving your city.

It took something for me to come back here.

I mean, and the person that we're honoring today is what it took.

It's, I'm going to be repeating a lot of things that Supervisor Melgar have said,

but I think it's worth repeating the impact that she had with all the different people in San Francisco.

So, you know, every generation or so, San Francisco is blessed with somebody special.

And Pat, excuse me, Dr. Patricia Sullivan is one of these individuals.

She is one of these individuals.

And anybody who's had the honor of meeting her will understand what I'm talking about.

She came to us by way of Detroit and was raised as a teen in the city.

She even went to APGNN and graduated from Washington High School, real local.

She loved the city.

She loved its children.

She loved its families.

She dedicated her entire life to give hundreds, if not thousands, of young children to start in life that every child should receive.

she did this through

not only the 30 plus years

of operating her own family child care

homes

she could be walking down the street

and give the same love to a stranger

she could be at

a playground and give the

same love to a child

no no

that's not how you talk

to people

so she's always educating

And that's something that basically the impact that she has had on children and families will last forever.

While, you know, for most people that's enough, having to operate your own family child care home.

Day in and day out, all the little ones, I think, well, she had not only six, but 12 or 14 of them running around.

and that's exhausting.

But while she was operating in her family childcare home,

she also did go back to school, got her PhD,

and started teaching as a professor at San Francisco State and City College.

So she's very unique in that way.

Most people would just dedicate their lives to one age bracket.

And here she's not only working with the young ones,

but she's training the next generations of early educators

to make sure that they have the same inspiration that she has for children,

the same love that she has for children,

the same way of inspiring children.

And that's what she was about.

she really did sacrifice herself i mean uh it was interesting to listen to her family

and other friends talk about her earlier right before uh this session and saying

her sister couldn't meet with her because she's too busy

on the phone talking to people and guiding them and so forth.

And so for her, it wasn't an eight-hour job.

It was a 24-7.

She was always on.

If you need help, she's there.

So somehow between running her own family child care home

and teaching adults,

she managed to still volunteer for a bunch of other things.

So one of them being that she became the head

of the Family Child Care Association,

which is a full-time job in itself.

So I don't know how she did it.

I mean, it was like three full-time jobs

and she's juggling it and so forth.

and she did it for what about seven eight years in association and she just never slowed down

that's the type of person she is that's the type of person I like to that's the type of person is

why I come here to speak about her the love that she has and it's given back by other people

here in the room is something that you just don't see with many of our people in San Francisco.

So, you know, for some of you that don't know what is the Family Child Care Association,

you might think, oh, wow, you know, there's this 20 homes that they try to coordinate.

Well, no.

She was coordinating the efforts of 630 plus family child care homes that were active.

There were some, a lot more that were inactive, but 630 of them were active with different issues.

And she heard them all.

And she was able to represent them in the room with other committees that she sit in.

she sat in.

And it was important for her,

tired or not,

that she gets to that room

and represent the community

that she loves.

And it's been,

and I think that's the one motivator for her.

As I heard earlier,

and I know this about her,

she's got to be in that room.

If not her, then who?

so this is something I hope that you will remember about her

she's loved by all of us

she's still in our presence today

that's who she is

I mean we all think about her

and if I have an issue that I can't figure out

I would ask the question

what would Pat do

and usually I could get some kind of answer.

So I want to say that she was a giant

in her support for children, families, and early educators.

And like I said, she's still in our presence.

And I really want to thank the board for honoring her

to see for her family and her friends to see this happen.

I know it should have been done many, many years ago,

but it's better late than never.

So thank you very much.

Thank you.

Supervisor Wong.

Thank you. I got to know Dr. Sullivan over the past two or so years when I was working as the policy director at Children's Council of San Francisco.

I had the opportunity of working along with a coalition of advocacy groups supporting ECE.

and there are a number of things that we worked together on

including coming to City Hall,

pushing the Board of Supervisors on ECE issues,

putting together an ECE policy retreat

to bring together the child care community

and she was also a City College faculty member

and very passionate about her work.

She stepped up to join the Chancellor's Selection

Recommendation Committee at City College

and helped be one of my appointees to help guide us through that process.

And I remember one of the last things that she said to me was that,

I love City College, I really love that place.

And those are words that stuck to me.

And one of the last things that she said to me when I last saw her,

and her passing is a tremendous loss to our city and everyone who cares about ECE.

in her work at FCCASF I got to know about her work current day and how she

worked with all the community to put up a voice for her community and

also reading President Yi's book I learned about the past history about how

they've got a long history of advocacy in the past and how she stepped up to the

mantle to for that current day. For me I think that this is a reminder of one of

the reasons why I'm here to be able to advocate for education for youth and

that's something that when I think of her that I will continue to commit

myself to doing. One other note I want to mention is I got to visit her home. She also serves the

community of child care and also got to know Sophia Lam there. And just seeing how she works

with the children and her love for her work, her passion for her profession, the people that she

cares for. It's so uplifting to see somebody that is out there advocating, supporting,

serving the community. And we're grateful for her life and the impact that she has made on

our city. And our thoughts are with her loved ones and her legacy will continue to inspire

all of us. Thank you. Thank you. We are now joined by Dr. Sullivan's family. Please accept this

special commendation on behalf of your family posthumously. You have our deepest regrets

and condolences and also love and admiration for Dr. Sullivan. So if you wanted to say a few words,

Now is the time.

Well, I want to thank you all so much for acknowledging Pat's lifetime of work and commitment to the families, children, teachers, all educators of the city of San Francisco.

She passionately loved the city and felt like, as we were saying, our family moved here because we thought this was where the revolution was going to start, and we wanted to be at the epicenter.

So we were raised to be revolutionaries.

And so Pat's life is an example of how much everyone can be an activist.

And she raised the children to always know that the city, the country, the world, this is their place.

They have a place in this, and what happens here is decided by them.

And that's what Baby Steps really was, and I hope that she got that across to all of her students.

and all of the teachers that she worked with.

And thank you very much.

Thank you.

Thank you.

District 10, Supervisor Walton.

Thank you so much, President Mandelman.

Colleagues, today I am proud to recognize the Bayview United Girls Soccer Team.

As we can get you to come up and stand.

This exceptional group of young athletes whose success reflects both athletic excellence and the power of equity and action.

Founded in 2019 and operated by the San Francisco Recreation and Park Department,

Bayview United is San Francisco's first primarily black youth soccer program,

providing a high-quality soccer experience for youth in Bayview Hunters Point.

By removing financial and access barriers, the program has expanded opportunities for nearly 50 young athletes to participate in the world's game with pride and purpose.

This season, the sixth grade girls team captured the San Francisco Youth Soccer Premier Division Championship with a 4-2 title win.

An extraordinary achievement made even more impressive by the fact that the team is made up largely of fourth graders,

along with a few fifth graders, and even one third grader.

Their success speaks not only to skill and determination, but to teamwork, resilience, and community support.

practicing and playing at Youngblood Coleman Playground and representing Bayview on fields

across the city. These young athletes carry their neighborhood with them every single time they

compete. We also recognize the coaches, families, and mentors who have built a program rooted in fun,

development, and neighborhood pride. Bayview United is more than a soccer team. It is an

investment in health, leadership, and opportunity for youth, and a model for how inclusive,

community-centered programs can help young people thrive. Congratulations to the Bayview

United 6th grade girls soccer team on its outstanding accomplishment. Please join me

and applauding their hard work and success.

And I know we have Coach Fulton Mitchell.

We call him Fully.

Chris Keene, and I know Lamont Bishop is here from Wrecking Park.

I don't know who's speaking, but have at it.

Good afternoon, Supervisor Walton, to the entire Board of Supervisors.

Thank you for having us and thank you for recognizing this dynamic team.

I won't speak long because I definitely want to have Coach Fulton come up and talk about these kids

and also talk about these families who have supported these kids.

But I do want to say often when we come here, it is important for us to quantify the work that we do.

And I would just ask that you would just pause for a moment and qualify the work that we do

in the faces of these young children that we serve all over San Francisco.

So without further ado, I'd like to bring up Coach Mitchell.

And I'd also like to invite all of the parents to come up and celebrate with us during this time.

Please.

Thank you, sir.

This is an honor.

We started the program, like you said, in 2019, and we barely had any kids.

We started off with boys, and it was co-ed.

Then we had a lot of girls playing on our team,

So we decided to change up and maybe switch up and add some girls.

And in the beginning, it was like pulling teeth, trying to get girls to come play.

We started off at maybe four or five, and we were like begging kids to come play.

Just to let you know, this year and the last season, we had a waiting list.

So it just tells you where we come from.

Phil, our general manager, he had a vision, and he wanted to bring soccer to Bayview

and have African-American kids more exposed to soccer

because the expenses just gotten outrageous,

and a lot of the parents really just cannot afford it.

So this is how we started this program.

The last season, the last two seasons, these girls were undefeated.

This season, they were 4-2, but they were playing up, just like he mentioned.

Most of them are 4th graders with about three 5th graders and one 3rd grader.

So we have no 6th graders, and they won the 6th grade division.

Thank you.

And you see all these parents are here.

If you guys would have came out to that championship game,

you would have thought that we were at the World Cup or something.

I mean, we had probably about 200 people there just to watch these girls play.

Man, it was pretty amazing.

I mean, with that said, it was a great season, and we look forward to continuing.

Thank you, guys, and we appreciate the honor.

My name is Rayani and I want to say...

We did it!

Woo!

Woo!

Congratulations.

All right, District 5, Supervisor Mahmoud.

Colleagues, it is my honor today to recognize Adrian Williams.

Adrian, do you want to come up?

Adrian is a visionary community leader and fierce advocate whose life's work has transformed

the Fillmore and Western Edition, inspiring generations across San Francisco.

For nearly five decades, Adrienne has poured her heart and her remarkable entrepreneurial expertise into uplifting youth and families.

As founder and director of the Village Project, launched in 2006, she built one of our city's most beloved after-school and summer enrichment programs.

The Village Project offers a safe haven where children learn, explore, and discover pride in their heritage and culture while embracing the richness of cultures beyond their own.

Adrienne's leadership is rooted in a lifetime of breaking barriers.

She was the first African American and the first woman to hold major executive sales and marketing roles at companies like American Can, Park Davis, Marion Laboratory, and Royal Business Machines.

Before that, she helped desegregate Northeast State University in Monroe, Louisiana, a courageous act that foreshadowed a career defined by resilience and changemaking.

A National Achievement Scholar with 17 academic scholarships and a Northwestern University alum,

Adrienne has excelled in every endeavor she has taken on.

Her entrepreneurial spirit is just as extraordinary.

From owning an interior design and furniture dealership in Chicago,

to running a copier sales and repair company in San Francisco,

to leading her own catering business and consulting for Xerox,

Adrienne has always met challenges with vision and determination.

The same qualities she now pours into community programs that serve hundreds of San Franciscans.

Her commitment extends far beyond daily programming.

Adrienne produces many major annual community events, including the seven-day citywide Kwanzaa celebration,

Mardi Gras San Francisco style, a senior moment, a senior prom, as well as Grillin' in the Mo, a family barbecue and blues concert.

These community events serve to strengthen cultural connection and joy throughout our neighborhoods.

And throughout the Western Edition Wellness Coalition, which she co-founded, she has created vital spaces to address trauma, promote healing, and empower families impacted by community violence.

At the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, she launched a food pantry that continues to deliver groceries to more than 400 seniors and low-income residents every month, serving as a reflection of her unwavering love for this community.

Adrienne's story is weaved together by courage and service.

She continues nurturing the next generation with the same care and passion that defines her leadership.

Adrienne, thank you for your tireless advocacy and your unshakable commitment to our families and our future.

Your efforts have strengthened not only the fabric of the Fillmore and Western Edition, but the fabric of San Francisco as a whole.

Thank you.

Thank you, sir.

I am honored to be back in this chamber.

It's been a while.

I appreciate you sir for recognizing the work that I've done in the Fillmore

I am just excited to be here and thank you very much for acknowledging all the work that I've done

I'm trying to retire but it just seems like I could never get out of here

there's always something else to do so I am honored to be in this chamber receiving this

accommodation. Thank you, sir, very much.

Thank you.

Good job, baby.

Okay, District 6, Supervisor Dorsey.

Thank you, President Mandelman.

Colleagues, on the occasion of his well-deserved retirement from city service today,

I am pleased to honor Bob Beck, the director of the Treasure Island Development Authority, Orteida.

Bob, can you approach the lectern?

Bob is a city government veteran who has served the people of the city and county of San Francisco honorably and well for more than 30 years.

He has lent his leadership skills and expertise to roles across many city departments, making major contributions to projects that promise to be among San Francisco's most enduring and iconic civic assets.

Early in Bob's city career, he worked on important projects like the Market Street Reconstruction Project in 1988,

post Loma Prieta earthquake fire station inspections, and the seismic retrofits of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and War Memorial Opera House.

He then led a series of positions at our Public Utilities Commission and Department of Public Works.

He worked as a design engineer, acting deputy director for operations, assistant to the director,

deputy director for engineering, city engineer, and even acting director of public works,

when the late Mayor Ed Lee left that role to serve as city administrator.

Bob later joined the Transbay Joint Powers Authority as a senior program manager,

helping to lead the design, planning, and early construction phases of the Transbay Transit Center.

In 2012, Bob would take on a new challenge as director of TIDA,

with the goal of implementing a once-in-a-generation redevelopment project.

He finalized the conveyance agreement with the Navy

and the trust exchange agreement with the State Lands Commission

so the vision of a thriving, inclusive residential neighborhood could finally take off.

Under his leadership, Tida has made incredible progress

to deliver on major transportation and utility infrastructure,

including new water storage reservoirs, a new electrical switchyard,

a new ferry terminal, a PUC-funded wastewater treatment facility, and world-class parks.

Housing production is also well underway, with 974 new residential units, including 297 affordable units already constructed.

But Bob does more than just deliver on projects and check the boxes we ask him to check.

He is an active and engaged part of the Treasure Island community.

well known and widely appreciated for his accessibility, Bob works side by side

with one treasure island and other community partners to understand the

needs of residents and when residents have needs on the island, Bob rushes in

to fill them. He believes, as I do, in the power of what good government can

accomplish to improve people's lives, to expand opportunities and access, and to

fulfill the promise of inclusive urbanism for the 21st century. Bob will

be fondly missed as a colleague, thought partner, and visionary leader who cares deeply about

San Franciscans, not merely those who reside here today, but for generations of San Franciscans

to come. Bob, I am deeply grateful for your trusted leadership and wise counsel. You have

left an enviable and indelible legacy on our city in District 6 and elsewhere, and especially

for an emerging neighborhood I know you and I both love in Treasure Island and Yerba

Buena Island. Thank you for your service

and congratulations on your well-earned

retirement.

We do have Bob's family and

many of his colleagues from Tidey and the City

Administrator's Office with us today.

I know I've asked Bob to come up to the lectern,

but I do want to ask first

if I could invite Deputy City Administrator

Jennifer Johnston to say a few words

and then we'll hear from Bob.

And also a supervisor.

Okay.

I'll defer to the...

Supervisor Walton.

Okay.

So I'm trying to figure out what I can say about you

that's appropriate in the chambers.

But I will say you've had an insurmountable task

in making the project at Treasure Island a reality.

But long before my election to the Board of Education

and eventually to the Board of Supervisors,

I know that you would probably wake up about 4.30 in the morning

and be on the basketball court by 6 a.m.

And you did that for years and then go and deal with the politics of San Francisco

and with the community that needed to see promises fulfilled.

And even though you are a bully on the basketball court,

you're a public servant that cares about the community you work in.

And I just want to thank you so much for your service

and for the way that you do your job.

because it's important and people recognize it and can see it,

that you're genuine about achieving success for the community that you serve.

So thank you for your service and for being an all-around good person.

Now Jennifer Johnson.

Thank you so much.

Thank you, supervisors, for recognizing Bob on this day before his retirement.

You are both very tough acts to follow, I will say,

so I have to delete a lot of my talking points, but I am here on behalf of Carmen Chu,

who unfortunately could not be here, and I will.

I know I'm a poor substitute, but I will do my best.

And you've mentioned a lot of his accomplishments and his deep passion and dedication to serving the public,

truly community-focused serving the public.

I'm also honored to be able to recognize such an exceptional public leader.

I've worked for the city for over 22 years, and I'm really hard-pressed to think of anybody who's as committed and hardworking and dedicated and really, really focused on the community.

So really quite remarkable.

And, you know, Bob, his focus over the last 30-plus years has been focused on, you know, Supervisor Dorsey, who identified a number of his projects, very focused on infrastructure, really the foundations of the city,

and to improve the lives of people who live in the city and who come and visit the city.

And I have to say that over the last 12 years at TIDA, he really has profoundly changed the island in very remarkable ways.

You know, the state that it was when he got there versus now, I mean, he really has really helped shape it into an incredible,

on its successful path to a new city neighborhood that's really focused on the community.

so I will also say that Bob is incredibly unflappable unwavering and unfazed by challenges

and there have been a myriad of challenges on Treasure Island in working with the countless

challenges obstacles stakeholders and partners on the island it really is no exaggeration to say

that Bob has overseen the management planning ownership permitting construction entitlement

or disposition of land, assets, infrastructure, and also focusing on the community life.

I know that we just had a conversation a few weeks ago about making sure that there's an adequate grocery store on the island

and really kind of having that full kind of concept of life for people on the island.

So with that, I say congratulations to Bob and your retirement.

You absolutely deserve it.

Doesn't mean I will not be calling you incessantly, and I apologize to your poor wife in advance,

but I really don't know how we're going to move on without you

and all of your encyclopedic knowledge of the agency and the history,

and I will be calling you, so I appreciate it in advance.

But I will also really miss you as a colleague and a friend and as a partner,

and that's it.

Just thank you.

Thank you for everything you've done.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Director Beck.

Well, I just wanted to say a few words of thanks to Jennifer, Supervisor Dorsey, Supervisor Walton.

I wanted to acknowledge TIDA's staff.

We have a total of 13 staff, and they do amazing work

and are enormously productive in trying to move the programs of the island forward,

move the objectives of the city forward.

I did start my career at Public Works, and I just wanted to acknowledge the history of Public Works and the staff of Public Works.

That agency is so connected to the population of the city in so many ways.

And starting there shaped my career and my outlook with everything that I've done since.

Also on Treasure Island, we have a fantastic partner in One Treasure Island.

For those that aren't familiar, it's a community-based organization

that's been part of the development program on Treasure Island since its inception,

and they do tremendous work for the residents of the island,

as well as our development partner in Treasure Island Community Development.

And, you know, it's just fantastic to be part of a team with so many people that are focused on doing good things.

And, again, it's been a tremendous honor and a privilege to work for the city.

And thank you for the recognition today.

Let's bring director back into the well.

I would be remiss if I didn't also recognize my family.

My wife, her parents that are here today,

and my brothers and my sister also came out for today.

So I want to make sure I recognize them too.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You may rise.

Colleagues, for the next several minutes,

we're going to be responsible for maintaining our own quorum.

So if you see that we've gone down to seven to six,

imagine that there is someone in the doorway keeping us,

because that would be Lisa.

It's bittersweet.

Today is the last board meeting

for one of our incredibly valuable and beloved legislative clerks, Lisa Liu, who is also

our Sergeant at Arms today. She is retiring at the end of the month. She started with

the Board of Supervisors almost 11 years ago, starting in the Operations Division in 2015,

and she was promoted to the Legislative Division in 2016. Every week, she intakes all the legislation

we introduce, reads it, makes edits, and ensures that they're ready to move forward.

She's coordinated our appeals, answered our questions, and done it all with professionalism

and grace.

If you've engaged with Lisa on legislative matters, you know she's one of the most patient

clerks.

She takes her time to guide and help us understand the reasoning behind the rules and how to

navigate the process.

And so, we wanted to take this moment to acknowledge Lisa and her exceptional public service to

city and county of San Francisco. We wish you all the best in your future adventures

and thank you for your dedication and hard work. The office of the Clerk of the Board

will have a big hole to fill with your absence, but your retirement is well deserved. So congratulations

and all the very best, Lisa.

And you may not, you are not allowed to speak yet because Supervisor Chan is in the queue.

Thank you, President Menemann. Just want to thank you for all the good work that you have done.

And, you know, I think when we submit, you know, resolutions for adoption without reference to committee,

we're always trying to figure out if you're going to say is this controversial or not,

and can we just get through, get passed by you, but nothing get passed by you.

Lisa's reign of terror.

This is not controversial, you know, but also just attention to detail.

But I also just want to say how kind you've always been and how gentle you really always are, even with all of us and definitely myself included, just even during long nights and making sure that we're taken care of, that we have water and so many things that we do on this floor and at different times.

it's just not a small task to handle between us and intense conversations or you know keeping the

meetings going and and while with the general public and us coming in and out in the back as

well just just so much of people don't see and don't appreciate when I say people I don't mean

just just general public I mean ourselves included at times and who really see you there and sometimes

We just go through the door and didn't even think to turn back and count if we have a quorum on the floor.

But you always make sure that we do.

All which is to say is while seemingly no one knows, the general public may not know your job description,

but they should all know today that you really helped keep so much of it running.

Thank you so much for your service.

Former President Walton.

Thank you so much, President Mendelman. And as a former president, I just want to say thank you so much for all the work that you do to make sure that we actually have functional meetings.

A lot of things go into handling the business of this Board of Supervisors, and you have been an integral part of making sure that that has happened.

And so thank you for all the support you have given my team over the years and really want to congratulate you on getting to your retirement and just say thank you so much.

Supervisor Chen.

Thank you for the present.

As a new member of the board, I just want to also express my gratitude to all the support from you to my team and to my office.

And thank you.

And I wish you a wonderful retirement and also enjoy the holiday.

Thank you.

Lisa Lu, the floor is yours.

Oh my gosh, you guys.

I'm going to keep it short and sweet.

Board President Mandelman, members of the board,

Madam Clerk Angela Calvillo, Deputy Clerk Elisa Samira,

and colleagues at the Clerk of the Board.

Thank you for this commendation.

I'm very honored to have served the Board and its members.

I'm honored to have worked with such a great team of colleagues in our office,

and I am so grateful and proud to have completed this chapter of my life

with this city and county of San Francisco.

Thank you for this honor. It's been a pleasure.

All right.

Lisa, come on into the well.

And Madam Clerk, did you want to bring more of your team in here?

Yes, those who are here in the chamber who are in the office of the Clerk of the Board,

please take a photograph with Lisa Liu.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

So 510.

All right.

Madam Clerk, can you call our 3 p.m. special order?

Yes.

Items 30 through 33 comprise the special order at 3 p.m.

Item 30 is the public hearing of persons interested in the decision of public works,

dated November 7, 2025, to approve a tentative parcel map for a three-lot vertical subdivision,

five residential and ten commercial mixed-use condominium project at 3333 Mission Street and 190 Coleridge Street.

Item 31 is the motion to approve the Public Works decision to approve the tentative parcel map.

Item 31 is the motion that approves the Public Works decision.

Item 32 is the motion to conditionally disapprove the decision, and item 33 is the motion to direct the preparation of findings.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

So, as our clerk indicated, we have an appeal on the tenant parcel map approval for the mixed-use condominium project at 3333 Mission Street and 190 Coleridge Street.

And Supervisor Fielder, do you have any remarks?

Thanks, President Miniman.

Colleagues, the parties have all agreed a continuance on this matter.

I am now making a motion to continue this hearing and associated motions to the Board of Supervisors meeting on February 3rd, 2026.

So there's a motion to continue these items to February 3rd, 2026, made by Supervisor Fielder, seconded by Supervisor Chen.

Before we act on that motion, we have to take public comment on the continuances.

This is not general public comment.

This is just the motion to continue this hearing.

Madam Clerk, can you please call for that?

All right.

If you're here in the chamber and you were expecting to speak on 3333 Mission Street

and 190 Coleridge Street Appeal, please come forward.

All right.

Seeing no one, Mr. President.

All right.

Public comment on the continuances is closed.

Oh, nope, it's not.

Come on up.

Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors.

My name is Connie Shea, and I'm the Housing Development Project Manager at Bernal Heights

Neighborhood Center, and I'm also a member of the 3333 Mission Development Project.

I am here to advocate on behalf of the entire development team to keep the current appeal

hearing date as of February 3rd, 2026.

As you know, building affordable housing is a lengthy and expensive project.

Every day that the project is delayed, additional fees are incurred.

and securing adequate funding becomes increasingly challenging.

We request that the February 3rd hearing date be maintained

so that we prevent further delays and fiscal roadblocks.

We are in the process of applying for Affordable Housing and Sustainable Communities,

which is also known as the ASIC grant,

a critical funding component required to move this 100% affordable senior housing development forward.

Any delay in the appeal process would have a negative impact on this application.

And so thank you for your consideration and time.

Thank you.

Hello.

Hi, supervisors.

Mr. Dennis Williams, Jr., San Francisco-based, black microdeveloper, executive director of

Fillmore Community Development Corporation,

and principal of DC Williams Development Company.

I think we need to delay this project appeals process

because we must continue challenging a development model

that benefits private capital while weakening

every community that depends on stability,

affordability, and local control.

When development moves forward without workers,

tenants, community organizations,

and local developers at the table,

the outcome is still predictable.

rising rents, longer commutes, cultural displacement,

and less demographic control.

Everyone loses except billionaires and developers,

notably out of state.

Thank you.

All right, looks like that is it on the public comment.

So public comment on the continuances is closed.

And we have a motion to continue these hearings open

to the February 3rd, 2026 Board of Supervisors meeting.

Can we take that without objection?

Without objection, this appeal hearing and motions are continued open to February 3rd, 2026.

And with that, Madam Clerk, let's go back to item 21.

Item 21 was referred without recommendation from the Budget and Finance Committee.

It's a resolution to approve the Sixth Amendment to the agreement between the city and county

acting by and through the Department of Public Health and the Bayview-Hunters Point Foundation

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

I'm asking that we adjourn today's meeting in memory of Daniel Cheshire, who passed away

on October 31st at the age of 83.

Daniel was born on June 10th, 1942, in Brooklyn, New York.

Raised in Crown Heights in an Orthodox household and attending the yeshiva schools through

high school, Daniel grew up deeply immersed in Jewish tradition and liturgy.

After graduating from Yeshiva University with a bachelor's in American history and earning

a master's in political science at NYU, he moved to San Francisco in the 1970s to pursue

a master of public health at UC Berkeley.

Upon arriving in San Francisco, however, he discovered that as a gay Orthodox Jew, there

was no place of worship where he could be open about both aspects of his identity.

Despite rejection and resistance from the organized Jewish community, he and two others

decided to run an ad in San Francisco's two gay newspapers, the Bay Area Reporter and the

Sentinel, inviting gay and lesbian Jews to gather and pray on a Friday night in the borrowed

basement of Glide Memorial Church.

Thirty people arrived for that first Shabbat service, and Congregation Shar Zahav was born.

Over the last near half century, Shar Zahav has grown to around 350 members.

As the city's first gay synagogue, Shar Zahav was at the forefront of San Francisco's gay

rights movement, and Daniel took his role as a community leader seriously.

Shortly after its founding, he moderated a debate at Shar Zahav between Harvey Milk and

Rick Stokes, both running to become San Francisco's first openly gay supervisor.

As many of the audience members were still closeted, news cameras that arrived to film

were only allowed to show the two candidates and Daniel.

When Milk was assassinated just a year after that historic debate, Sharzahov's December

1st Friday night service became an impromptu memorial to him, with hundreds of people arriving

to remember him and remind each other of the strength of their community.

Daniel and other members recalled that night as the moment when Sharzahov established itself

as an undeniable part of the city's politics and life.

He helped lead Sharzahov for the next five decades,

moving with the synagogue from one rented space to another

as the expanding congregation quickly outgrew each location.

He welcomed anyone, man, woman, straight, gay, even non-Jews,

that felt a connection and was interested in attending.

Attendees looked up to him for the depth of his Jewish knowledge

and unapologetic pride in both of his identities,

and even after his declining health required him switch to attending services over Zoom,

the mere mention of his name could lift up the entire room.

He earned a law degree from UC School of Law San Francisco

and worked as an attorney for Kaiser Permanente in Oakland for more than two decades.

He married his partner, Stefan Roniak, as soon as it was legal

and the two helped raise two children, Asher and Zina.

The couple loved to travel, making it their goal to visit a new spot on the globe each year.

Friends and family remember him not only as a visionary and leader, but also as a man who was endlessly kind and generous, who lived his life with uncompromising integrity.

Rest in peace and power, Daniel Cheshire. May your memory be a blessing, and the rest I submit.

Thank you, Mr. President. Supervisor Milgar.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

Colleagues, as many of you know, earlier, a few weeks ago, we lost Claude the alligator,

the beloved albino alligator who lived at California Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park.

Claude passed away at the age of 30 after nearly two decades as one of San Francisco's

most recognizable and cherished residents.

He wasn't just an attraction, he was a role model for how we treat those who are a little

bit different.

For millions of children, many of them San Franciscans, Claude was their first encounter with science, with conservation, with the idea that caring for our planet starts with curiosity and empathy.

Entire generations grew up visiting him on school field trips, family outings, first trips to the academy, including my three daughters.

And yes, Claude was a District 7 resident, and throughout my tenure, I have represented him proudly.

I am introducing a resolution to acknowledge this icon of our city to let the people of San Francisco decide how we could commemorate his memory.

So this resolution urges the Recreation and Parks Commission to commemoratively name a street in Golden Gate Park, Claude the Alligator Way.

My office has been working closely with the Rec Parks Department to identify several streets that could adopt this name in the park, as well as with Mission Local to launch a public poll asking residents which street should receive this honorary name.

And I am happy to report that hundreds of people have already voted, even though it's been up for a couple of days.

This is about honoring the joy that Claude brought, the education that he inspired,

and the values that he represented, science, stewardship, and wonder.

It is also about giving everyday San Franciscans an opportunity to voice how we could commemorate

his impact.

San Francisco is a city that understands that culture isn't only defined by buildings or

monuments, but that the stories we tell and the memories we preserve also do that as well.

Honoring Claude in this way ensures that future generations will continue to ask who is this Claude,

and in doing so, learn something about our city, our park, our shared commitment to education, science, conservation,

and embracing the most unique among us.

I respectfully ask for your support, and the rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Milgar.

Supervisor Sauter.

Thank you.

Colleagues, I have a number of items to introduce today.

First, I'm introducing an ordinance to establish the Fisherman's Wharf Entertainment Zone.

We've crafted this entertainment zone in partnership with the Fisherman's Wharf Community Benefit District

and their members, including merchants, hotels, and the maritime industry.

This builds on the momentum we're making in reinforcing Fisherman's Wharf to be a destination for locals and tourists alike.

Recent progress has included an 18-month extension of the successful Skywheel,

multiple leases for new restaurants and a port-led initiative to bring a beautiful

new public plaza to Taylor Street. The Fisherman's Wharf Entertainment Zone

joins many other successful zones we've helped stand up this year including

Ellis Street in Pier 39 and joins existing successful

entertainment zones at Maiden Lane and the first in the state at Front Street.

Thank you to Tita Bell in my office, Ben Van Houten at OEWD and Victoria Wong in

the City Attorney's Office for their help to prepare this ordinance. I look forward to all

of the events and creativity that this new entertainment zone will enable in Fisherman's

Wharf. Next, I'm introducing legislation for the first phase of our Clean Streets Act. This

legislative package will result in cleaner streets by updating the Public Works Code to improve how

our departments deliver services. It will also strengthen accountability measures to make sure

our dollars are being used as efficiently as possible. Our initial ordinance achieves a few

things. It updates the health code to revise and clarify confusing and outdated terms concerning

garbage receptacle requirements. It authorizes a process for applying administrative fines,

and it requires the Department of Public Works to periodically conduct evaluations and performance

reports on mechanical street sweeping operations, a service that much of District 3 does not receive.

Thanks to Tita Bell in my office and Chris Tom from the City Attorney's Office for their work

here. This is just the first phase of our efforts within the Clean Streets Act, and I look forward

to more work ahead in the new year to ensure that San Francisco's streets, sidewalks, and public

spaces are cleaner for all. Finally, I want to indicate my co-sponsorship of the Mayor's fire

code updates today. Alongside Supervisor Cheryl, we have crafted these amendments in response to

an overwhelming concern from residents in our districts. These amendments maintain a commitment

to fire safety upgrades while recognizing the tremendous hardship and likely displacement that

could result from the 2022 mandate for fire sprinklers. I will also be co-signing a letter

of inquiry alongside Supervisor Cheryl, asking the PUC for information on the 126 impacted

buildings so that we can have immediate answers to the operational feasibility of installing

and supporting fire sprinklers at these specific buildings.

And the rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Sauter.

Supervisor Cheryl.

Colleagues today have a few introductions.

First, as Supervisor Sauter just outlined in partnership with Mayor Lurie, we're introducing amendments to the Fire Code to extend the compliance deadline for the 2023 Spinkler retrofit mandate by three years.

Supervisor Sauter summarized this very, very well.

We've heard from hundreds of constituents very clearly, many of whom are retired seniors on fixed incomes,

that not only is the current mandate not understood, but it is also widely unaffordable.

And for many structural reasons, it's often not feasible for many of these buildings.

And so, you know, extending this compliance deadline, the first compliance deadline is an important first step to help affected residents gain certainty about what expected them in the fire code.

And certainty really is the thing we're getting towards here.

This step of extending the first deadline does not resolve the underlying issue.

Frankly, this mandate poses some existential financial burdens for affected residents.

So going forward, I'll work alongside the mayor and Supervisor Sauter to bring clarity,

to bring specificity, and to bring certainty to the definition of undue hardship that is

already embedded in the fire code.

And that is the process that we use for exempting buildings in which this sprinkler mandate is deemed unfeasible.

This is going to be done transparently.

It's going to be done in coordination with the affected buildings.

It's going to be done in coordination with experts in the field.

And it's going to be done in coordination with the fire department.

I want to commend Chief Crispin for his partnership on this and leaning into this and for working on the very difficult balance between fire safety and affordability.

Affordability is the buzzword nationwide and definitely here in San Francisco.

We need to make sure that people are not displaced unnecessarily, that people don't lose their homes, that we continue to prioritize affordability for all San Franciscans as we move forward.

As part of this effort, Supervisor Sauter and I are also submitting a joint letter of inquiry to the PUC,

requesting a feasibility analysis of the sprinkler mandate with regard to existing water infrastructure,

and we will make those findings public as soon as they are available.

Dennis Rara and his team at the PUC, I want to thank them ahead of time for their partnership and their assistance.

And frankly, with all of you, with my colleagues, all stakeholders and affected residents,

we look forward to working together as we move this forward.

Finally, colleagues, I'm proud to be co-sponsoring a resolution alongside Mayor Lurie that will finally approve the infrastructure financing plan for the 3333 and 3700 California Street projects in District 2.

Since taking office over the past year, I've talked with neighbors throughout the district who asked me when will this project finally get shovels in the ground.

And I'm proud that this legislation will take us to the legislative finish line and one critical step closer to building more homes, affordable senior housing, supportive senior housing, child care facilities, and retail.

The passage of the family zoning plan and the signing of that plan last week is only the first step in our journey towards more affordability here in San Francisco.

Zoning on its own does not build housing.

We need to do more as a body and as a city to ensure that shovels get into the ground to build the desperately needed, responsible, neighborhood-centric housing that we all want to see.

Enhanced infrastructure financing districts are a critical tool in our toolbox, in our fight for affordability, in our fight to make San Francisco more welcoming for everyone.

And I'm proud to be able to co-sponsor this item.

Thank you to the mayor's team, to the Office of Economic and Workforce Development, whose efforts in this were led by Lee Latinsky.

Thank you to my aide, Lorenzo Rosas, for his work on this, and to my colleagues who serve on the Public Financing Authority, Supervisors Chan, Melgar, and Walton.

And to the many constituents and neighbors who have voiced their support for this project, we are pushing hard on it every day.

Thank you, colleagues, and the rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Cheryl.

Supervisor Walton.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

Colleagues, today I'm introducing a request for information to our city departments regarding the potential impacts of a rent freeze in San Francisco.

As we continue to face a severe affordability crisis, residents across our city are struggling with rising housing costs, economic uncertainty, and displacement pressures.

Other major cities, including New York, have recently adopted or considered rent freeze policies in response to similar challenges.

Before this board considers any comparable legislative action, it is critical that we fully understand the potential consequences, both positive and negative, for tenants, small property owners, housing supply, and city's fiscal health.

This inquiry asks our housing planning and financial departments to provide forecasts and analysis on how a rent freeze could impact housing stability, affordability, maintenance of existing housing, new development, and city revenues.

It also seeks lessons learned from other jurisdictions, including legal, administrative, and enforcement considerations.

Let me be clear, this is not a proposal to enact a rent freeze today.

This is about gathering data, understanding tradeoffs, and ensuring any future policy decisions are grounded in facts.

Our responsibility as policymakers is to protect tenants while also ensuring the long-term health and stability of our housing system.

I look forward to receiving this information and having a thoughtful, transparent discussion with the board and the public.

The rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Walton.

Supervisor Wong. I have requested from SFMTA a comprehensive evaluation of potential opportunities

to increase on-street parking availability in District 4. What this inquiry is asking is simply

whether there are opportunities within our existing street and curb space to better meet community

needs. The Sunset has older housing stock and limited off-street parking, and many residents,

including seniors families and small business customers rely on cars as a part of their daily

lives parking access is one of the most consistent concerns we hear and it affects neighborhood

access small businesses and overall safety the request asks sfmta to take a careful engineering

based look at where existing street whips or curb configurations might allow for changes such as

angled or perpendicular parking as opposed to parallel while maintaining emergency access,

pedestrian safety, and compliance with design standards.

He also asked for a review of curb management tools, including loading zones and red zones,

to see whether small adjustments could be made without compromising safety.

For example, I often run along sunset roads, and I see so many wide roads that could convert

parallel parking into diagonal or perpendicular and increase parking spaces easily.

Importantly, this is an evaluation and not a predetermined outcome. It is about understanding

what space may be available and what trade-offs exist before any decisions are made. District 4

is a multimodal neighborhood, and I strongly support having multiple ways for people to get

around, whether by transit, walking, biking, or driving. I'm about win-win solutions. Community

Engagement is central to this request.

After you identify possible parking increase opportunities,

any potential changes would involve consultation of neighborhood residents,

merchants, and stakeholders so that solutions reflect local needs and priorities.

I have asked SFMTA to respond by January 15th,

and my office will share updates as we receive them

and continue working collaboratively with the agency and the community.

Thank you. The rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Wong.

Supervisor Chan.

Submit. Thank you.

Supervisor Chen. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleague, this last Saturday evening was the sound of

history being made again for the Balboa High School football team. The Balboa Buccaneers

are the 2025 state champions in Division 7A. Yay!

Running back, Mikhail Smith scored four touchdowns, and cornerback Joseph Smith

hauled in a 49-yard touchdown pass from Ryland Thean Jones, who also rushed it for a score.

Finishing the season with a 12-2 record, this marks Balboa's second straight title and its third

overall. Before that, Balboa secured the San Francisco Section Championship by beating

Washington High School in November.

Bobor has emerged at the top of San Francisco's public lead.

We are all incredibly proud of our bacchanics.

Congratulations to our incredible team and coaching staff.

Go Bucs.

Thank you.

The rest has to meet.

Thank you, Supervisor Chen.

Supervisor Dorsey.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

Colleagues, by now I am sure we have all seen and read a multitude of news accounts and

obituaries for Rob and Michelle Reiner, who died Sunday at their Los Angeles home in an apparent

homicide. This devoted married couple of 36 years bears an historically significant connection to

San Francisco few may fully know about, but which I think is worthy of our remembrance today, and I

would ask my board colleagues to join me in adjourning today's board meeting in their honor.

Rob and Michelle Reiner were not solely celebrated figures in American cinema and philanthropy.

They were fearless and longtime advocates for worthwhile liberal causes in California that ranged from supporting universal preschool to taking on big tobacco.

Their partnership with San Francisco came about in the wake of 2008's passage of Proposition 8,

which banned equal marriage rights for same-sex couples that had only months earlier been secured in a landmark state Supreme Court decision.

The city and county of San Francisco, through its city attorney's office then led by Dennis Herrera,

had been the lead plaintiff in that state litigation for more than four years at that point.

And in that long struggle's darkest hour, as California's LGBTQ plus community watched with heartbreak to see our hard-won marriage rights stripped away by popular vote,

Rob and Michelle Reiner joined the cause.

Together, they were instrumental in convening an organization and a movement in the American Foundation for Equal Rights, or AFER,

that would join San Francisco and help regroup for an uphill federal challenge to Proposition 8's constitutionality.

As described in the award-winning book by New York Times reporter Joe Becker,

Forcing the Spring Inside the Fight for Marriage Quality,

Rob and Michelle Reiner were singularly responsible for bringing together LGBTQ plus community leaders and couples,

including Chad Griffin, Dustin Lance Black, Bruce Cohen, Kristen Perry and Sandy Steyer,

and Paul Katami and Jeffrey Zirillo. They hired legal powerhouses, Ted Olson and David Boies,

once Republican and Democratic legal folks, respectively, who had famously squared off in

the 2000 Bush v. Gore case. And together, AFRA represented couples in partnership with San

Francisco's representation of the broader societal stake for marriage equality.

At a difficult yet pivotal moment for the LGBTQ plus community and for San Francisco's

city attorney's office, Rob and Michelle Reiner's courage mattered.

And it wasn't solely measured in the dollars they so generously gave, but in the support

both demonstrated personally, showing up at trial, giving voice to the cause we shared,

and encouraging lawyers and support staff in ways that meant the world to them.

The case they funded and helped to lead, initially entitled Perry v. Schwarzenegger

and later Hollingsworth v. Perry, would be a rollercoaster ride for the next four years.

But in its decisive final ruling on June 26, 2013,

the U.S. Supreme Court struck down Prop 8 once and for all,

restoring marriage equality to LGBTQ plus couples in California

and setting the stage legally and morally for the high court's recognition for marriage equality nationwide two years later.

History will long remember those cases, but for the many Californians involved in that decade-long legal fight,

we will remember something more personal.

Rob and Michelle Reiner's unwavering and generous commitment to see justice done,

even acknowledging, as we all did at the time, that justice might not happen,

was inspiring, influential, and in the end, consequential.

They believed in our cause.

They believed in San Francisco.

And today, as we mourn their loss, San Francisco remembers them with gratitude.

Rest in peace, Rob and Michelle Reiner.

May their memory be a blessing and an enduring reminder of the progress that can be made

when brave people of principle commit their names, their resources, and their hearts to the cause of justice.

And the rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Dorsey.

Supervisor Fielder.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, I am excited to announce that I will be introducing legislation that actually dates back to an August visit that my staff and I took on a self-funded trip to Mexico City to meet with municipal and federal officials.

And in our meeting with the Office of the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, we talked about how Mexican nationals commonly fall prey to fraud in notary offices around the United States, simply because of a language and cultural misunderstanding that some notaries exploit.

In many Latin American countries, notarios offer immigration legal services, but many notaries serving Spanish-speaking immigrants take advantage of that understanding and fraudulently offer legal or pseudo-legal advice about immigration.

California state law requires notaries to post signage stating that they are not an attorney

nor authorized to give legal advice about immigration or any other legal matters.

However, lack of compliance and enforcement has left the door open to unscrupulous actors.

In San Francisco, there have been many reports of such activity, including the very high-profile

lawsuit filed by our own city attorney, David Chu, against notary Leonard Lacayo, resulting

in the courts requiring him to pay $600,000 due to his predatory behavior against hundreds of

immigrants here in San Francisco. This unlawful conduct has life-threatening consequences for

immigrant families. And so today I'm introducing an ordinance to require individuals who notarize

or assist people in completing immigration documents to provide a listing of low-cost

or free immigration legal service providers and consulates provided by our own Office of Civic

Engagement and Immigration Affairs. Additionally, this legislation authorizes the Human Rights

Commission to provide assistance to members of the public who wish to file a complaint with a

state licensing or enforcement entity against a notary or immigration consultant who allegedly

violated the law by providing fraudulent legal advice. I want to thank City Attorney Brad Russi,

Director Jorge Rivas at OSEA, Director Mauli Tobeno at HRC, Director Katie Ting with the San

Francisco Office of Small Business, the folks at Carecen, Mission Action, and other community

partners for your help on this piece. I also want to thank my legislative aide, Jennifer Ferrigno,

and Supervisors Walton, Chen, and Chan for early co-sponsorship, as well as Ana Luisa Vallejo,

former Consul General of Mexico in San Francisco, and the Mexico Office of the Secretary of Foreign

Affairs for meeting with us in August to discuss how to support our shared constituents. I hope

you all join me in supporting this legislation. The rest I submit. Thank you, Supervisor Fielder.

Supervisor Mahmoud. Colleagues, San Francisco has long prided itself on good governance,

on transparency, accountability, and rules that reflect our shared values. Term limits were

adopted with that intention, to ensure renewal in leadership and to prevent the concentration

of political power over time. However, our city charter currently contains a loophole that

undermines that purpose. It allows elected officials to serve two terms, step away for one,

and then return again, repeating that cycle indefinitely. This loophole that allows career

politicians to come in and out of office has stagnated progress for far too long.

Good governance requires that we periodically review our systems and ask whether they are

still serving the public as intended. In this case, this loophole deserves attention, particularly as

many residents, especially young people, women, and new voices, feel increasingly left out and locked

out of our political leadership. Case in point, just a year ago, there wasn't a single millennial

on the Board of Supervisors. Zero. Today we have six on the Board of Supervisors, six supervisors

who are working parents, immigrants, and renters of a younger generation, five of which even

have a full head of hair.

Me, of course, not included.

A majority of the Board of Supervisors now comes from a new generation that felt unrepresented

before.

That new generation of leadership has led to results over the last year, results on housing,

on safety, on small business.

This year alone, we passed the family zoning plan, as well as the tenant protection ordinance just today,

which will ensure that we can build housing for all of our neighbors and future generations

and strengthen on tenant protections for years to come.

On safety, crime is down 30%, one of the lowest in our city's history

and one of the lowest of any major city in the nation,

restoring peace of mind to families and children so they can feel safe walking down the street,

going to school, or picking up their groceries.

And for the first time in years, people are excited about our city again.

Businesses are investing, tourists want to visit, and most importantly, residents feel we're on the right track.

So today, I'm introducing a charter amendment to close this term limit loophole and place the question before the people of San Francisco.

This is about the structure of our city's democratic system and whether it continues to promote fairness, opportunity, and public trust.

San Francisco works best when we govern with clarity, integrity, and an eye towards the future.

I'd like to thank Deputy City Attorney Brad Ressie for drafting this, Jessica Gutierrez-Garcia,

and Sam Logan in my office, the San Francisco Young Democrats for co-sponsoring the petition

to lead to this legislation and ordinance as well, as well as Supervisors Cheryl, Dorsey,

Sauter, Melgar, and Wong for their early co-sponsorship. The rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Mahmoud. And Supervisor Walton, you asked to be re-referred.

Thank you so much. My apologies, colleagues.

Colleagues, I'm also requesting a fiscal and policy analysis regarding the anticipated expiration of federal emergency housing voucher funding

and broader instability in housing choice vouchers, Section 8 resources,

and the potential role of the city and county of San Francisco in preventing displacement

and homelessness through local investment from the Comptroller's Office and the BLA.

The San Francisco Housing Authority has notified EHV participants that federal funding is expected

to be fully exhausted by October 31, 2026, with the final subsidy payment issued for October 2026.

EHV households include individuals of families prioritized because they face the highest risk of homelessness,

survivors of violence, people exiting homelessness, and families with extremely low incomes.

Allowing these households to lose rental assistance will reverse hard-won progress,

increase homelessness, and contradict the city's stated commitment to prevention, racial equity, and housing stability.

San Francisco has repeatedly demonstrated that preventing displacement is significantly more cost-effective than responding to homelessness after it occurs.

This moment presents an opportunity for the city to proactively evaluate local funding strategies that could mitigate the loss of federal assistance and stabilize vulnerable households before they reenter crisis systems.

To support informed, prevention-focused policymaking, I respectfully request that the Comptroller and the BLA analyze and report on the following.

Cost to prevent displacement, scope equity in neighborhood impacts, cost of inaction, potential local funding strategies and scenarios, budget timing, and legislative considerations.

This analysis is essential to ensuring that San Francisco does not knowingly allow thousands of residents to fall back into homelessness due to the expiration of a temporary federal program, particularly when local intervention may be more fiscally responsible than absorbing the long-term cost of displacement.

The rest I submit.

Thank you, Supervisor Walton.

Mr. President, that's the conclusion of Roll Call for Introductions.

Let's go to public comment.

All right.

For those of you in the public gallery, this is your opportunity to line up on the right-hand side of the chamber.

You may speak to the mayoral appearance, the minutes as presented, and the items 42 through 48 on the adoption without committee reference calendar.

Other general matters not on the published agenda but must be within the board's subject matter jurisdiction.

If you do bring up content that is not within the board subject matter jurisdiction, we will interrupt your speech.

All right, we're setting the timer for two minutes.

Welcome.

For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.

And this shall be a sign to you.

This is a sign unto you because we are forced to keep time by when he was born.

It shows his dominance, okay?

Every knee will bow, every tongue will confess that Jesus is Lord.

Now, my text comes today from Ezekiel 23.

The word of the Lord came again unto me, saying,

Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother.

And they committed whoredoms in Egypt, they committed whoredoms in their youth.

There were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

And the names of them were Ahola, the elder, and Aholabah, her sister, and they were mine.

And they bear sons and daughters.

Thus were their names.

Samaria is Ahola, and Jerusalem Aholabah.

And it goes on to talk about how God judged them for forsaking him, and how Assyria took them into captivity.

And then a hundred so years more, Babylon came in, destroyed the temple.

But what's fascinating about it is that when this happened, it was all timed by the Almighty.

We read that for 40 years, Israel wandered in the wilderness.

And whenever the tabernacle, the pillar of cloud by day moved, they sounded trumpets.

They took down the tents and they moved and they followed the tabernacle.

They followed the pillar of fire.

If it was at night or cloud by day as the angel led them.

During 40 years, it was 42 times they moved.

Do you know what the sum of 1 through 42 is?

It's 910 years.

Just let that sink in.

God is real.

You cannot avoid him.

Same-sex marriage is evil.

It's wicked.

It's wrong.

You can't make it right because you're selfish and evil and don't want to listen to God.

Jesus Christ is the only way to be saved.

So just now that you've concluded your speech, your criticism may be harsh or unfair.

It can even be obnoxious or upsetting to us.

But if you do cross over into protected categories, Mark, we will interrupt you.

Thank you. Next speaker, please.

I'm a professed atheist.

Ordinarily, I would talk about parcel taxes, but I'll leave that for a matter.

I just have a little vignette about my favorite corner in the city, which is on 24th Street and Castro.

And we watch the populace go by, Christmas shopping.

Monster buses, not all from San Francisco.

San Francisco buses are actually fairly modest in size.

The monster bus is taking the people down to the south.

And then the small little incident that occurred yesterday

where all of a sudden another monster truck pulled up at this little corner,

and it was towing a large tanker,

and apparently somebody had reported that there were feces on the corner,

of Castro and 24th Street.

Well, those feces turned out to be a black glove that somebody dropped.

But why are we spending, probably I would say that incident cost the city $500 or more

because the man who drove the bus and investigated and found the glove and threw the glove in

the trash, had to fill out a large report, and he was there for 45 minutes.

Well, I don't know whether this is the proper way to spend money, but we shall see, as they

say, we shall see.

And back to the parcel taxes, I will not, they apparently put a provision in that elders

don't have to pay.

But I will pay my parcel tax of $149, $159, willingly.

Thank you for your comments.

Welcome to the next speaker, Walter Paulson.

Thank you, supervisors, for your work.

Supervisors, thank you for your work.

Former supervisors, Angela, who works so hard over there always all the time,

And former mayors and SFGTV and the former employees there.

Thank you for your work, so I'll just say something religious a little bit.

Let it be, let it be, let it be, yeah, let it be.

There will be an answer, let it be.

And when the night is cloudy, there is still a light that shines on me.

Shine until tomorrow, let it be.

And don't quite give up on the city because

Anticipation, anticipation might be just making it late.

It'll keep you waiting

Thank you.

Thank you, Walter. Nice to see you.

Nice to see you again, too. Good luck and have a happy holiday.

Thank you. Welcome to our next speaker.

Welcome.

Blessed a heart. I'm Mr. Dennis Williams, micro-developer,

executive director of the Fillmore CDC. I'm supported and here

on behalf of the labor and community leaders of the SEIU 1020, the ACC, and the various allied

organizations. I just want to report there's a fight coming, 2026, long-standing residents

against the billionaires' corporations. Mayor Lurie's permit SF reforms do not keep people

rooted in our city. They fast-track displacement. San Francisco has thousands of vacant homes,

yet the city keeps pushing new luxury and market-rate developments designed for corporate

workforces, not long-time residents. Our historic black communities of the

Fillmore, Bayview, Tenderloin are being reshaped without us, without local

developers, and community-based organizations are still being shut out

while billion-dollar projects race ahead by many of approval from this body.

We've already seen what happens when the city overbuilds in speculative markets.

The dot-com crash taught us this lesson as it destroyed our historical mission

neighborhood we raise rents ignoring this again will push even more San Francisco's out

Southern Dussel doesn't mean need overcrowding for corporate interests or a building every time a

new development or I mean excuse me a new corporation comes into the city we need equity

accountability lower rents real investment into our communities and development projects that

empowers our community, invest in the people who built this city.

The waterfront views of the Marina District should be enjoyed by generations to come,

as they have not sacrificed to develop greed.

The small town feel of Cole Valley, Noe Valley, and the Castro deserves preservation.

The Outer Sunset, D4, District 1, has the right to protect its character and community.

Please stop stressing our elders citywide.

The dimly lit restaurants and small businesses along the hills of beautiful Bernal Heights represent more than commerce.

They represent memory, culture, and belonging.

This is San Francisco.

We have fought for this.

This is San Francisco worth protecting.

Thank you, Dennis Williams.

Thank you, sir, for your comments.

Okay, I only got two minutes.

I'll try to be really quick.

First, I want to start off by saying peace is the daughter of dialogue and reason.

Okay, let's dialogue and reason.

First, I want to say, the city's going to pot literally.

I believe the feds should have come in and closed the marijuana dispensaries

because there's rampant smoking on the street and the marijuana, they're not prosecuting.

Okay, right now today, it's been happening for a long time,

3027 16th Street, white truck outside of Wells Fargo, selling marijuana to the community.

Okay?

We need to get something done on that.

Executive order, we should have, here's a new sheriff in town, I want to say.

All you sheriffs, all law and order, thank you for your service.

We should have an executive order for city government to work closely with the federal government concerning the drug cases.

Any, no more out-of-custody drug cases, I mean, they shouldn't be out-of-custody when they're going through their drug cases.

They will only be released after the case if they're prosecuted or whatever.

okay

there's a big problem in the city

with the scooters on the sidewalks as you walk

scooters driving on the sidewalks

why aren't they prosecuting these people

another thing

the retail theft is really

it's ridiculous what's happening here in the city

and the retail theft, the Safeways, Walgreens

and all that

let me get back to the marijuana thing again

in Utah recreational use

is illegal

is regulation use of marijuana in Utah,

in the state of Utah, is illegal.

San Francisco, we can do better.

Lurie says he's trying to clean up the streets

and this and that.

I think we can do better, way better.

That was just a sticking point for him

to garner like he's going to do some great here in the city.

But I think San Francisco could be the template

to all the nation on how we conduct business

as far as the safety on the street,

the eradication of the drugs,

and the respect of our law and order.

Thank you very much.

Thank you for your comments.

Welcome to our next speaker.

Board of Supervisors, I'm Mayor of the Office of San Francisco.

The title of this speech is 28 Alliance International.

On May of 2024, about 16 months ago,

I was running hastily in Portola neighborhood,

and I was stapling posters to the tree promoting my agenda.

I ran into one member of the board supervisor who sits here today in his chamber.

Hey, help me hand out all these posters.

I'm running for the board supervisor.

All right.

Well, I'm also running for office.

I report directly to Elon Musk as Twitter Master of X.

About two months ago, I walked into the doorstep with this particular person right in the doorstep.

As promised as her, itched into the name of this clearly remembered large poster handed to me.

My jaw appeared open.

My mouth smirked.

Today, I stand a few feet in front of this member today.

As stated, I report directly to Elon Musk,

quoted as Black No Particle.

I also hold account of Warren Buffett.

I'm the designated leader of the entire Democratic Party

as the 48th president of the United States.

I'm the founding member of DOGE,

Department of Government Officials,

rebranded as DOS, Department of Democratic Superiority. My task is spearhead to drafting

a new constitution called Worldwide Constitution. Joe Biden is tasked to draft this. However,

Bernie Sanders is charged to codify the details. I stand before the board to affirm my pivotal role

to see the execution of the 28th Alliance International. Thank you.

Thank you for your comments. Welcome to our next speaker.

Hello. My only comment is mercy and grace.

Thank you for those comments.

Welcome.

Welcome. Good afternoon, Angela.

I was across the way over at the SFMTA board meeting.

My name is Barry Toronto. I'm with San Francisco Taxi Workers Alliance.

And today, in closed session, the MTA is again looking for the thousandth time, the lawsuit between the credit union and the MTA, the city of San Francisco.

We need some solution to this problem of debt relief for the purchase bedaille holders.

The income they make from the airport is not enough.

So I urge you to get some answers because you did, in a prior make-up of the board, pass a resolution asking for participation from representatives from the Purchase Medallion holders.

And they have been kept out of the loop for the longest time.

So I urge you, it gets on my clock, I urge you to please ask some questions.

Also, I am appreciative of, I know I shouldn't say, of Supervisor Fielder interested in local regulation or control of the Waymos on city streets.

I urge you to reach out to state legislators, asking them to pass legislation to revitalize 915, Dave Cortese's legislation, in order to allow local entities to have some say on where they can go, how much they can charge, and how many can be on the streets.

You shouldn't have an unlimited number of autonomous vehicles on the city streets.

I don't know how many times you've seen them, three or four at a time, clogging the streets and barely able to get around them.

And they shouldn't be killing our pets as well.

It's a sad state that you feel you're hopeless in this area.

And I urge you on this holiday season, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, Happy Kwanzaa,

that you get more involved on what happens on the city streets

because they don't really contribute much financially.

And in closing, I ask you to ask the state legislature

to raise the ceiling for how much they can charge per ride

so you have more money to improve transit.

Thank you, Barry.

Thank you.

Good to see you. Thank you.

Welcome to our next speaker.

President, Madam Clerk, Angela,

it's nice to hear

a thing about Rob Reiner

he definitely was an artist

it's very unfortunate

you know there's nobody

there's nobody on this board

who's from my generation

it's not bothering me that much

we had our chance

I'm reading a book by Robert Reich

and the title is

Coming Up Short

well you know

Yeah, it's kind of a pun, but the fact is my generation came up short.

I'm not sure if there's any ex-gens on here, but your time will come,

and you won't be on the board anymore.

Then the millennials won't be on the board anymore.

After that, the post-millennials, I have a them.

I have a them who's a post-millennial.

I have a great something.

It was a niece or a nephew.

I'm not sure which.

What I am concerned about on this board is type A personalities,

because I've seen enough of them in both the left and the right.

But you know what?

I'm pretty sure that even as the law is written as it's right now,

Scott Wiener is probably not going to come back and be a member of this board.

Thank you.

Thank you, Otto Duffy, for your comments.

Welcome to our next speaker.

I push it here.

Good afternoon.

Is it on?

Yes.

Good afternoon, Mr. Supervisor and Supervisors.

I'm Virginia Marshall, a retired educator now smiling every day.

I came down for an agenda item that you put on the top of the agenda, reparations.

I am so very happy about that.

Ma'am, I'm pausing your time.

That item is not eligible for public comment.

I'm not.

That's not my comment.

just a perk in the comment.

I'll resume your time.

Thank you so much. You're going to make me forget

my thought.

Two things I want to talk about

is diversity.

When I look at Mayor Lurie and all the people

standing behind him, most times they don't look like

me. They're Caucasians. I didn't know there was that many

Caucasians in San Francisco.

When I look at this board, other than Supervisor

Walton, they don't look like me.

I'm very happy to see Supervisor

Wong right here.

When your time is up,

Please make every effort to make sure someone replaces you who looks more like San Francisco.

When I see you, I feel sad.

I'm going to say it again.

When I see Mayor Lurie at a press conference, all behind him are always people who do not look like me.

So diversity does count.

And I'm so very happy that Balboa is the championship.

I remember Turkey Day at Woodrow Wilson High School.

You don't even know where Woodrow Wilson is.

it is now virgin high school so anyway thank you so much key please keep in mind diversity

and please help there are so many young people who are born here in san francisco but they cannot

afford to buy a home in san francisco they work every day two incomes but i still cannot afford

to buy a home so diversity and housing is very very important thank you so much thank you miss

Marshall for your comments welcome to our next speaker hi my name is Leah

Penciler I'm a union organizer with the International Brotherhood of Teamsters

I'm the Joint Council seven or Northern California Amazon organizer and former

worker at DC k6 I'm just here for number 43 on the docket I just wanted to thank

the Board of Supervisors especially President Mandelman for your support in

backing us in our fight to bring Amazon to the bargaining table we're you know

looking to get a contract with fair wages and fair working conditions because this company

valued at over $2 trillion, at the very least we should have a union contract that protects us and

gives us the dignity and respect we deserve on the job. So yeah, I'm just here to say thank you

so much for your continued support today. Yeah, thanks. Thank you for your comments. Welcome to

our next speaker. Hello, my name is Janae Roberts. I am a current Amazon worker and also a field

organizer for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters. I also wanted to thank the board for

your own wavering support behind us workers. We are working hard to provide a service for the city

and the only thing that we want in return is, you know, some dignity and respect for the work that

we do a livable wage in the city of San Francisco and better benefits for those of us who have wear

and tear on our bodies from doing, you know, hours and hours on end, the same work year after year,

and also around this time when we are literally delivering Christmas. So it really means the world

for us that you guys have our back and and standing with us as we are fighting

Amazon for a contract that reflects the hard work that we provide for the city

thank you thank you for your comments any other members of the public like to

items of 45 through 48 supervisor Mandelman aye Mandelman I supervisor

supervisor Melgar, Melgar, I supervisor Sauter, Sauter, I supervisor

Cheryl, I supervisor Walton, I supervisor Wong, Wong, I supervisor

Chan, I supervisor Chen, I supervisor Dorsey, Dorsey, I supervisor

Fielder, I supervisor Maahmood, Maahmood, I, there are eleven

With that objection the motions are approved

Madam clerk, please call item 42 item 42. This is a resolution to support the passage of the housing boom

building occupancy opportunities for millions act that will be authored and introduced by United States Senator Adam Schiff and

U.S.

Representative Latifa Simon to increase federal investment and expand incentives to encourage housing production and to help address root causes of the housing

affordability crisis supervisor Chan thank you president Mendelman colleagues

as I have said time and again in order to build housing we need two key elements

land and money especially if the city is to build housing that San Francisco the

residents can actually afford even our housing elements the documents that we've

been referring to throughout the upzoning conversation and the legislative process,

stated that the city is exceeding its market rate housing goal, but have continued to fall

far short and far behind on building affordable housing. Coupled with increasing pressure created

by the speculative real estate market, this dynamic is leading to an increase of displacement

and out-migration of low and middle income households, many of whom are the economic

driving forces and the workforce backbone of the workforce of San Francisco's local economy.

We need to build housing and we need to build fast to ensure we keep our healthcare workers,

teachers, first responders and nonprofit workers, transit operators, construction workers and

small business owners to be able to continue to live in our city.

We need to support housing that they can afford.

This is why I introduced a resolution in support of Senate Bill No. 3464 introduced by Senator

Adam Schiff's, also billed as Housing Boom, Building Occupancy Opportunities for Millions

Act, which will increase federal investments and expand new policies to accelerate housing

production across the nation.

The act will expand the low-income housing tax credit and other loan program that many housing developers relied on,

invest $15 billion more and more annually for states to support development of workforce rental housing

so we can stabilize housing costs for workers, incentivize local and state government to convert underutilized public land like our SFMTA site.

into housing and get the most affordable housing units that we can.

And then it also tackles

the root causes of affordability crisis by funding behavior health,

homelessness, service and tenant support program, and strengthening

fair housing and language access regulation.

Again, this also include the

understanding that we must also build workforce and middle-income housing.

So colleagues, with that, though, we have learned and gotten more information.

It's a reason why I have circulated a non-substantive amendment to update the Senate bill number since the introduction last week.

And I'd like to make the motion to amend, or I'd like to make the motion to amend.

And you can see indicated page one to insert the Senate bill number, Senate bill number 3464.

and that's on line three.

And then on line five, a companion bill that will be authored and introduced.

And to clarify that, a separate bill is actually on line six,

and a separate bill actually is being authored and introduced

by our Congresswoman Latifah Simon in District 12.

And thank you, and I hope to have your support.

All right.

Second.

And there's a motion from Supervisor Chan,

and second from Supervisor Walton to amend the resolution as described by Supervisor Chan

and shown in the document she has circulated.

Colleagues, can we take that motion without objection?

I think we can.

The motion is approved.

And then on the amended resolution, I think we can take that same house, same call.

Without objection, the amended resolution is adopted.

Okay.

Thank you, Supervisor Chan. Madam Clerk, please call item 43.

Item 43, resolution to support the International Brotherhood of Teamsters in their efforts to bargain with Amazon Web Services on behalf of workers at the DCK6 warehouse.

Thank you, Madam Clerk. Now, Supervisor Cheryl.

Thank you, Chair, President Mandelman.

I am extremely disappointed to report that I've been advised to recuse myself on this

matter by the city attorney.

My office has been in touch with the clerk to equally disappointingly remove myself as

a co-sponsor, and I would step away from my office, from my desk, excuse me, for this

vote.

Thank you.

You can leave.

I'll make a motion to excuse you.

No, you can, no, you leave.

Go, go, go.

I'd like to make a motion to excuse Supervisor Cheryl

from this vote seconded by Supervisor Mahmood.

I think we can take that without objection.

Supervisor Cheryl is excused.

All right, colleagues, thanks to all of you

who were able to be out on the steps with us earlier today.

I know that we were all there in spirit.

We had Amazon workers and Teamsters Local 665 and lots of other Teamsters locals out there that are part of Joint Council 7.

And the point is to support the workers at the DCK6 warehouse in the Bayview.

It's been more than a year since more than 100 workers in the warehouse signed cards to demand union recognition.

Amazon has resisted recognizing them and bargaining,

and there have now been, I think, a couple of NLRB complaints issued for illegal union busting activity at the facility,

and then a second one about more illegal union busting activity.

And so, as was said by a number of us out there today, San Francisco is a union town.

Uniontown. We do expect all of our businesses to respect labor and so this

resolution gives the board the opportunity to express support for the

organizing effort and for the fight for a fair contract at the DC K6 warehouse.

So thanks to the Teamsters and Amazon workers for sticking with us

through the entirety of the meeting and I think we're going to give you a

probably unanimous vote I think we have almost everybody's co-sponsorship on

this so thanks to all and with that madam clerk please call the roll on this

item on item 43 supervisor Mandelman aye Mandelman aye supervisor Melgar Melgar

aye supervisor Sauter Sauter aye supervisor Walton aye Walton aye

Aye.

Supervisor Wong.

Wong, aye.

Supervisor Chan.

Aye.

Chan, aye.

Supervisor Chen.

Chen, aye.

Supervisor Dorsey.

Dorsey, aye.

Supervisor Fielder.

Fielder, aye.

And Supervisor Mahmood.

Mahmood, aye.

There are 10 ayes.

Without objection, the resolution is adopted.

Madam Clerk, please call item 44.

Item 44, this is a resolution to condemn the Trump administration's attack on higher education

and to affirm the city and county of San Francisco's commitment to protecting higher education from political interference.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

So this resolution affirms San Francisco's commitment to academic freedom

in the face of the Trump administration's attacks on higher education, as our clerk indicated.

Since Inauguration Day and for nearly a full year,

the Trump administration has mounted a sustained and aggressive campaign against institutions of higher education.

It's leveraged billions of dollars in federal funding to coerce universities to conform

to a variety of demands, which include dismantling diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives,

stopping scientific research into issues including public health and climate change, suppressing

free speech and protest, and restricting the enrollment of international students.

These actions undermine fundamental rights and place life-saving research at risk.

However, in order to prevent massive cuts to their programs and under the threat of federal

investigations, a number of institutions across the country have made deals conceding to the

Trump administration's demands.

These concessions include paying millions of dollars in settlements, banning transgender

athletes from competing and ousting university officials that the Trump administration deems

uncooperative.

Higher education institutions in California are currently under immense pressure from

the Trump administration to do the same.

Recently the City Council of the City of Los Angeles adopted a resolution urging our colleges

and universities to stand strong, to uphold free speech, academic freedom, and equitable

access to education, and advocates are asking other cities to chime in.

With this resolution, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors will do so.

Diversity of thought, commitment to scientific integrity, and open discussion have made our

higher education system the best in the world.

Academic freedom is essential to our liberty and our success, and we have to do everything

we can to oppose its erosion.

I do want to thank former LA City Attorney Mike Feuer and Crimson Courage, a group of

Harvard alumni working with universities across the country to stand up to Trump's demands

for bringing this proposal for a resolution to us.

And I also want to thank Supervisor Sauter for his co-sponsorship.

And I trust I'm going to thank all of you for your support.

Madam Clerk, could you please call the roll on this item?

On item 44, Supervisor Mandelman.

Aye.

Mandelman, aye.

Supervisor Melgar?

Melgar, aye.

Supervisor Sauter.

Sauter, aye.

Supervisor Cheryl.

Cheryl, aye.

Supervisor Walton.

Aye.

Walton, aye.

Supervisor Wong.

Aye.

Wong, aye.

Supervisor Chan.

Chan, aye.

Supervisor Chen.

Chen, aye.

Supervisor Dorsey.

Aye.

Dorsey, aye.

Supervisor Fielder.

Fielder, aye.

And Supervisor Mahmood.

Mahmood, aye.

There are 11 ayes.

Without objection, the resolution is adopted.

All right.

Madam Clerk, do we have any imperative agenda items?

They're none to report, Mr. President.

Would you please read the in memoriams?

Yes, today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals.

On behalf of Supervisor Mandelman for the late Mr. Daniel Chesser.

On behalf of Supervisor Melcar for the late Dr. Patricia Sullivan.

On behalf of Supervisor Dorsey for the late Robert Reiner and Michelle Reiner.

I think that brings us to the end of our agenda, Madam Clerk.

Do we have any further business before us today?

Only to state, Mr. President, that the board will resume on January 6th, 2026.

Thank you, Madam Clerk.

We are adjourned.

Thank you.

Thank you.
