thank you. >> president yee: supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, president yee. i just quickly and definitely i'll support the amendments, as well. i just wanted to say quickly thank you to supervisor stefani for bringing this resolution forward. i just want to say very clearly that i condemn, and i know that we all condemn the violent homophobia, the antisemitism that's been directed at our state senator. it is terrifying, horrendous, the heat thate that has been at him. i'm sure you've known people -- i've had friends and acquaintances who came to me and said what is this? so i appreciate adding an element of the connection to the irresponsibility of our social media companies in allowing this hate to be distributed on their platforms. but over and above all, without question, full stop, we all should condemn the hate that's been directed at senator wiener, which has been unlike anything that i've seen in a long time. so again, thank you, supervisor stefani. i send this to the clerk, but i would like to be added as a cosponsor. >> president yee: supervisor pres

with that, commissioner haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, chair peskin. i was just going to back you up on that, too. i hope that we can learn from this experience, because when we do these larger projects, which obviously are needed and required, we want to be able to say confidently we're going to be able to support the small businesses and residents impacted. and if we've failed to do that here, even when money has been allocated, it's incredibly concerning and it puts into question whether we can honestly tell folks in the future that we're going to be able to, you know, ensure their protection and their support as required considering the impact. i would like to know, not just kind of who is getting the grants when they come back -- hopefully they'll have start to have been issued -- but also if there have been surveys done of businesses and residents in terms of their needs, what the impacts are. i believe it has been -- >> supervisor peskin: that has been done and maybe we can hear from staff as to the results of that on the ground yacht outreach.

supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you for that presentation. i have a few questions. you know, one is i think we all, obviously, understand that things are different now, and i'm definitely sympathetic to the feelings from the neighbors that the -- you know, the wildfires and the air quality and staying at home because of covid has changed things in terms of their lives and the way that they will experience this project. how would -- how -- how do the current events affect your analysis, and if we were to send you back to do further analysis based on these current events, would it affect your analysis at all? >> yeah, thank you for the question. so the analysis was done with the assumption that people would be home during construction and near the construction site and exposed to these construction activities and the associated impacts. mitigation measures -- this was called out at a significant impact in the eastern neighborhoods e.i.r. so we called out that future development projects like

thank you to mayor breed, chief scott, supervisors peskin and haney for joining me this morning to highlight our collective commitment to combating an all too familiar problem. open air drug dealing in the tenderloin. we're all created to solutions to make sure we combat this epidemic that is taking control of the tenderloin neighborhood. this morning, my office sued 28 known drug dealers, file. they do not live in the tenderloin, but sell deadly drugs there. the drugs that are fueling the drug crisis in our streets. this is to stop the brazen drug-dealing that has plagued this neighborhood. last year alone 441 people died from drug overdoses in the city and the tenderloin had the highest overdose mortality rate of any neighborhood in the city. enough is enough. these injunctions are carefully crafted to simultaneously safeguard a defendant's due process while targeting with precision, the problem of drug dealers coming from outside the area to prey on tenderloin residents, housed and unhoused. this prevents the 28 named defendants from entering the tenderloin and part of the adjacent south

supervisor haney. >> supervisor haney: aye. >> clerk: supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: aye. >> clerk: chair fewer? >> chair fewer: aye. >> clerk: there are three ayes. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. any more business before us today? we are adjourned. thank you very much, colleagues. thanks. >> good morning, everybody. the maoe willing come to order. welcome to the october 8, 2020 regular meeting of the public safety services committee. i'm rafael mandleman, the chair of this committee, and i'm joined by our vice chair and supervisor, our clerk is john carroll. as usual, i'd like to thank the folks at sfgov tv for staffing the meeting and i.t. in lending their support. mr. clerk, do you have any announcements? >> i do. thank you very much, mr. chair. in order to protect the public, board member and city employees during the covid-19 health emergency, the board of supervisors legislative chamber and committee will close v. this was pursuant to declarations and directives. community members will participate in the meeting to the same extent

supervisor haney. >> supervisor haney: aye. >> clerk: supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: aye. >> clerk: chair fewer? >> chair fewer: aye. >> clerk: there are three ayes. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. any more business before us today? we are adjourned. thank you very much, colleagues. thanks. >> my name is ahsha safai, and i'm the current district 11 supervisor. we're building housing on a scale we've never done before, almost 600 units, 65% of it being affordable to working families. we've planted over 2,000 trees, and we've investing in our transportation like we've never done before. we've done speed cushions, we're doing transportation improvements on mission and general geneva, and we're making sure we have affordable and accessible transportation. during this time of crisis, we are -- we've been in constant reaction mode to make sure our citizens have the protection and access to health care that we need. we've opened up ultimate multiple testing sites in our districts. we've distributed thousands of masks to families and individuals

this item has been sponsored by supervisor ronen and cosponsored by supervisors preston, haney, walton, and myself. is there a representative from supervisor ronen's office? >> [inaudible]. >> supervisor safai: i can't hear anything she's saying. >> oh, no. how is this? >> chair peskin: much better. >> thank you for allowing me to speak today. this item is a resolution supporting california state proposition 21, keep families in their homes, on the november 3 ballot. prop 21, when passed, will significantly amend the california civil code section now known as the costa hawkins rental act and rename it to the rental affordability act. specifically, what it would do is allow local governments to adopt local rent ordinances with exceptions for housing and condos owned by natural persons to own no more than two single-family units, and it would allow local governments to prohibit landlords from proposing more than 15% rent increases in one year in the city. while anecdotally, there are stories of rents dropping due to covid, the rents are still out of reach for many. a minimum wage employe

commissioner haney? >> supervisor haney: thank you, chair peskin, and thank you for this presentation. i first just want to support what commissioner stefani said, and hopefully, we can get one of these lights at geary and goff and just want to echo the concerns that there are a lot of intersections like that around the city that i think could use these cameras. i don't think we have enough of them. when there's a sense that there's only a handful of them, they don't -- they can be more limited in how they impact driver behavior, you know, citywide. if you have a sense that you might be at one where there is a red light camera, and you don't always know that, i think that can have a broader impact on -- on driver behavior. i did want to ask why it takes to long to put these up. you said that we have eight that we are going to put in place, and there's a design phase, which it sounds like it's another year, and we might not have these cred lights up for another two year. can you explain why it can't be do

i know that supervisor haney, chair haney did last week, as well. one of the hard things about it is because there's such limited involvement from the school district with the hub, that the kids all have different schools, and so you can imagine on the -- you know, that was the hub at the presidio center. you have these education providers who are experts in outdoor activities. they want to get the kids out and get their minds and creative juices flowing, and do music and other enrichment activities, but they are all day juggling schedules, and it is extremely hard to do enrichment because of that. and i'm just wondering, in this next phase, where it seems like sfusd is finally rarpting a little bit more and coordinating with the city on these hubs, whether or not there's any effort of getting kids and hubs that have the same schedule so that, you know, they can be learning together and not, you know, hearing different voices. i mean, they're in relatively -- you know, socially distant spaces, but nonetheless can hear each other, so it's hard to con

with supervisor haney's office. we're also joined by lari m -- larry marso, an opponent of the measure. we're going to start with some opening statements, and we'll begin with honey. >> thank you so much for having us today. i think that as a native san franciscan, someone who grew up here, and a small business owner, it's become very clear to me that san francisco has really failed at keep our city clean the clean. there is trash all over the streets, some streets are covered with feces, and sometimes you can't find a bathroom when you need one. we've been working on how the city can better address this issu issue. what we found is the system that we have in place is broken. no matter how hard the workers at d.p.w. work, they're unable to get the streets clean because the system is ineffective. d.p.w. is too big, there isn't enough focus on the streets, and especially during the time of covid-19, sanitation's now more important than ever, so we are putting forward a new department of sanitation to effectively keep

matt haney writes in his argument that they're in proposition b. there's nothing in proposition b that sets baseline standards. we need -- we need -- we need to address the fraud and waste in the department of public works. >> thank you, larry. that's 1.5 minutes, so we're going to go into questions now, and the first question will go to you, larry, and then honey, you'll have a chance to answer it. the question is the amendment would create a new department of sanitation and streets to perform duties that's currently performed by the department of public works. if that's the proposition, what's the argument for creating a new department? >> the city controller says it's going to cost upwards of $6 million a year. that's over 50 million in ten years. that's a lot of money. but if you look at the paid arguments for proposition b, you see a long list of public sector labor unions. the seiu and the san francisco labor locals representing the trades that engage in cleaning our streets and maintaining some of our parks. they're talking about we need mor

supervisor haney, did you want to make some comments? >> supervisor haney: i had no comments, but i'm going to make a motion to continue these items. >> president yee: you want to -- you want to make a motion to continue all the items? >> supervisor haney: yes. >> president yee: okay. we could do that. >> supervisor peskin: mr. president, to what date? >> president yee: to next week, to september 29. >> supervisor peskin: second. >> president yee: so the motion to continue all the items from 71 to 106 has been made. any discussion? seeing none -- >> clerk: mr. president, i just want to interrupt for a moment. the -- >> president yee: go ahead. >> clerk: i just want to make sure, for clarity's sake, supervisor haney, your motion is to continue all of these dates not to the suggested date on the calendar, but to next week. that is your motion? >> president yee: there's different dates for different ones. >> clerk: yes. each item has a suggested continuance date. >> president yee: supervisor haney, would you like to rescind your motion, and

i would like to thank supervisors peskin and haney for their support and leadership on this issue. you'll hear from them as well in a second. the men and women of the san francisco police department and those say sign -- assigned to the tenderloin have been working very, very hard to address the rampant drug-dealing in the tenderloin. during a recent three-month operation to focus on narcotics dealers the tenderloin officers and the narcotics detail officers arrested over 267 individuals for drug sales. 267. and although that number may sound high, it's just a drop in the bucket. our officers seized over $144,000 in u.s. currency and a combination of over 7,000 grams of cocaine methamphetamine heroin, fentanyl and other drugs. 210 of those arrests had prior arrests in san francisco and 55 of the 267 arrests were in violation of court-issued stay away orders where they were prohibited from the area where they were selling drugs. 58 of those arrested live outside of the city of san francisco. now our efforts to combine or combat narc sales in the tenderloin are ongoing as of today. a

supervisor haney. >> i want to thank you, mr. flynn, and thank the city attorney's office for their proactive and necessary work on this and the broader investigation. this is a very awful time for our city when we are continuing to have these kind of allegations of corruption. it seems to me that we clearly need to be able to take action against individuals and companies who are charged with corrupt behaviors and ensure that they are not getting further contracts with the city during that time. one question i had was about another maybe it is a slightly different category. the situation that involves rod regoes santos. he has been charged. he is not exactly a contractor in the same way but there were reports of mr. santos continuing to pull permits and engage with d.b.i. in various ways. would a situation like that be covered under this ordinance? what is the scope of engagement that is included that could be suspended while somebody is under investigation or has been indicted? >> that is a great issue. de barment is a process b

matt haney writes in his argument that they're in proposition b. there's nothing in proposition b that sets baseline standards. we need -- we need -- we need to address the fraud and waste in the department of public works. >> thank you, larry. that's 1.5 minutes, so we're going to go into questions now, and the first question will go to you, larry, and then honey, you'll have a chance to answer it. the question is the amendment would create a new department of sanitation and streets to perform duties that's currently performed by the department of public works. if that's the proposition, what's the argument for creating a new department? >> the city controller says it's going to cost upwards of $6 million a year. that's over 50 million in ten years. that's a lot of money. but if you look at the paid arguments for proposition b, you see a long list of public sector labor unions. the seiu and the san francisco labor locals representing the trades that engage in cleaning our streets and maintaining some of our parks. they're talking about we need mor

now supervisor haney. >> supervisor haney: thank you, madam clerk. in addition to the committee of the whole that supervisor walton spoke about, i, along with supervisors walton, ronen and preston, are requesting a letter of inquiry to the department of homelessness and supportive housing and covid command centers to get a response about their plan to rehouse thousands of people experiencing homelessness who are currently at shelter-in-place sites. it should not take a formal request to obtain details about the issue so consequential for thousands of people, hundreds who are staying at these hotels and hundreds of staff in the hotels, and our non-profit agencies who have said that to run these hotels. but we have asked for details and now we know that there are plans to close some of these hotels and we want to make sure that there's an effective transition for the 2,500 people in the shelter-in-place sites. the vision and the reality must be that no one is returned to the streets and that though we have heard that is the plan that we are yet to have
