colleagues, i know this item is familiar to you it is sponsored by supervisor haney and cosponsored by mysel in the wake of the most an reason of which was in the middle of october and it is i have a number of which that has made this morning circulated to you and we'll also speak to a couple of additional amendments that have yet to be prepared because of the thanksgiving holiday as to the amendments let me just speak to them publicly and you are in receipt of the first of these page three, i'd like to codify the exemption to quote attempt to influence for written and oral public comment. so that would mean that if a member of the public shows up to advocate for or against one way or another as to a piece of legislation, that would not make them an interested party for purposes of this behested payment legislation. as policy matter, we encourage members of the public to weigh in, so this exemption is designed to advance that principle. it actually is currently the interpretation by ethics, but this makes it abundantly clear. next, page three, line 17 through 18. i'd like to exempt fed

supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, president walton and colleagues. this is a critically important acquisition that we're going to make that is going to provide to meet -- that will help to meet the needs of our community as it relates to behavioral health. there is one amendment that i would like to make which is non- substantive. the amendment states that the board is not authorizing any specific use of this property or committing to a specific project and that further environmental review will be required for such discretionary acts. in this instance, the city is seizing the opportunity to acquire the property, but is still exploring all potential uses for the site and has not committed to a specific use or project on the site. it's important for the purposes both of clarifying our intentions here and also for the conversation that we had in committee around further partnership with the community and with the neighborhood to ensure that the health and safety of those who are receiving care at this facility, as well as the broader neighborhood is pr

supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you. that's a good transition because last november, san franciscans overwhelmingly voted for a new department of streets and sanitation as well as to form a commission over this department and the department of public works, which is the largest department that does not have any commission level oversight. this commission will deliver much needed structural reforms, including oversight and transparency at the department of public works as well as a needed level of oversight and staffing to deliver clean and healthy streets and sidewalks. although i was the original sponsor of this measure, it had a lot of support on this board, so i want to thank those of you who initially supported it and those of you who are here now that support it, and though it had the support of a majority of this board, it is no longer a measure, it's a proposal put forward by the voters. with that in mind, i have been meeting with city administrator chiu, a broad spectrum of leaders from labor, including labors 26

and i'm glad that supervisor haney is supporting this. we have to try something new, and an emergency declaration is a start. let's be clear, what we said over and over again. the mayor and the san francisco police department currently have the authority to enforce drug laws prohibiting drawing use and dealings, and this proposal does not allow them to do this. the proposal will allow the city to leverage existing resources for the tenderloin. it will quickly create centers where those suffering from addiction can receive mental health and other human services. and i know this is going to be hard because it is very hard to catch that person in the fleeing moment when they've had enough of their disease, when they're willing to get help, but we need to have a place where it's there, and we can quickly get them into the services that they need. it will, and i'm hoping this disrupts the deadly open air drug market. it has to stop. the alternative of others that i've heard and everything i've read seems to be a combination of doing nothing, a

of the nuru scandal our controller did a report and recommended a number of changes and supervisor haney then followed up in september of last year with the introduction of this legislation with regard to behested payments particularly as related to department heads, and that was in the midst of covid. this has been around here for a year and six committee meetings. the basic principles are pretty simple. we should not be putting ourselves or our city officials in positions of raising money from the parties seeking financial benefit from us. this dynamic has been allowed to persist for too long, and per controller's recommendation this legislation addresses it squarely. the amendments i have made along the way i think do that even more. to put it another way, you are either in the business of making grants to the city or applying for contracts from the city. you can't be in the business of getting contracts with the city in exchange forgiving money to the city. that is the definition of quid pro quo. i also want to ground this in another principle which is in the realm of the practical.
