supervisor raphael mandelman is here. former president of the board of supervisors norman yee is here, who led the fight in the city. we also have board members like jennie lam and former board members like hydro mendoza, who i can't tell if they're here because i can't see under the mask as well as the service providers to -- who provide services to our kids. and of course, we have our parents, some of whom you'll hear from today. getting this charter amendment onto the ballot is going to take a lot of partners, and i'm really proud of all the people who are supportive of this and with us today, including our young people, who probably -- [applause] >> the hon. london breed: i know we can put our kids in focus. in the summer of 2020, with our schools closed, we needed to support our kids, especially those living in public housing and congregate settings who had nowhere to go, nowhere to learn. that's when the city, under the leadership of maria su, with the department of children, youth, and families -- [applause] >> the

ladies and gentlemen, supervisor rafael mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, madam mayor. welcome to district 8, everyone. you know, if norman yee, london breed, maria su and phil halperin agree on something related to kids, you know it's got to go good. as another san francisco former kid myself, i know this is a really good ballot measure. i think this measure is a measured and reasonable response to some of the frankly chaos that we have seen coming out of the school district, and we have, as a city, a tremendous stake in what happens at the district. we don't run the district, but we fund it in significant measure, and this ballot recognizes that, as a condition of that funding, we should have some expectations around the quality of governance, and so i really appreciate that that is an important piece of this charter amendment. but i also really appreciate the thoughtful approach to the delivery to children and their families and the process that has gone on over many months. i have not been part of that process. i have checked in with folks along the way who have bee

supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you for that. i completely agree with supervisor ronan about the need for this coordinated function. it is more important when we are trying to keep folks in least restrictive environment and they need to move up and down across more and less supervision and someone needs to be conservatorship and they need support other ways. i understands that is there office of community care. that is important when you try to manage a complicated system which is more human than mass institutional ligation and very complicated. my concern is and i am not when we look at the hiring of the office of coordinated care. i think it is important to envision the bad, following up on the analysis every year, engaging in the capital planning exercises about acquiring vacant land, acquiring former hospitals, thinking about whether the juvenile justice center facility might be converted to something that would be usable over time for people who need to be in longer term placement. whatever the thing is, it is not best done

but lacking that, supervisor mandelman, go ahead. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair peskin. and i would echo astonishment that director sue or some other representative of the administration who is able to speak to their process around coming up with this measure is not here. i'm sure it is just a screw up, but it is an odd way to start our conversation about charter amendments today. i agree, supervisor ronen. i agree. so all that being said, i am a cosponsor of this measure and i do want to thank the folks who worked i know long and diligently and put a lot of time, energy, and effort into this, and broadly, i support, you know, both directions. i had some conversations with former board president yee and others before i signed on. but it has become clear in the days and weeks since this charter amendment was rolled out that there were a lot of conversations that needed to be had about -- there were a lot of people with say from the particularly early childhood community, but i think actually more broadly in the space of serving children and i think, you know, one of the t

supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor mandelman: thank you chair peskin. thank you president walton and chair peskin for convening this calling and having this hearing. i don't have anything particularly to ask. this case very much, i think, goes to kind of attention in having people who are intimately involved in development and real estate on these bodies that oversee real estate development. there's sort of baked into the chartered provisions around building commission. which i know chair peskin, you and i agree may be off change. there's still this notion we want to have people who have direct immediate experience, we know what's going on will know what -- will know the impact what they are doing. they live it and work it and see it every day. on the other hand, when we put people in these roles who are in their day-to-day work, doing real estate developments, we can move around what the lines are requiring -- we can do some of this at the state legislature. we can move the disclosure and require this or that, you can't have this kind of relationship.

thank you supervisor mandelman. i do hope to prepare some additional amendments along the lines that ms.ler man spoke to. they are relatively easy as to categories of speech for interested party definitions. mr. chen is aware of those and they are straight forward. with that i would like to duplicate the file and continue the duplicated file to the call of the chair. duplication requires no vote. continuation does. mr. young, a roll call, please. >> on the motion to continue the duplicated file to the call of the chair. supervisor chan. >> aye. >> vice chair mandelman. >> aye. >> chair peskin. >> aye. >> the motion passes without objection. >> then, colleagues, before i make a motion to send this item to the full board as committee report with recommendation, let me state maybe the obvious. that is that it is never easy for elected officials to hamstring themselves. as a matter of fact i was reading a story about the creation of the fair political practices act when then i believe governor in his first time jerry br

so supervisor mandelman, if you -- and i don't know. are you -- is there anybody on the roster to speak? okay. all right. so why don't we go to mandelman and then ronen or -- all right. >> commissioner mondejar: all right. i will move the amendments that supervisor melgar brought to us on monday and again today. >> chair peskin: all right. and then supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i kind of want to continue a little bit where supervisor or chair peskin left off around the media silence around this charter amendment and the extraordinary things that we've seen on this committee and the mayor didn't send anyone to talk about this amendment, which was kind of shocking. i've never seen that before. and then, the second thing i've never seen before is 100% of public comment. and this wasn't just members of the public who don't work in this area, this was a broad cross section of groups, unions, education advocates, former school district board members, former supervisors, former directors of dcyf. i mean, i've never seen a u

supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you, chair peskin. i'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about why apply this to the june election, but not february, why not have it just start up after the current batch is through? >> chairman: we certainly could do that. it would be on the june election. so it would not be retroactive to february because it has prospective in so far as it is on. this is a clarification, it actually did not even need to be stated. the city attorney says this is what it needs to do and i thought everybody should know what it should do. so it's actually just a clarification. >> supervisor mandelman: okay. thank you. >> chairman: you bet. with that, why don't we open it up to public comment. item number four. >> clerk: yes, just a reminder, did you want to have the controller's office make any statements on these items? >> chairman: thank you very much, victor, clerk young. i surely did. ms. stevenson, my apologies. >> no worries. again, board members, peg stevenson from the controller's office. we noted in our l

i want to appreciate commissioner ronen and mandelman and mar. those that served. we have a lot of work ahead to implement with the region with all of the san francisco priorities included. that was not easy. we were able to get that in. very important that we have the federal bill and state surplus funds to do the financial engineering to make sure we have local sales tax for local match. these planning studies in 2021 do continue on in some form in 2022. for example the transbay rail crossing studies with bart. that will also be connected to our west side subway work, and we have smaller studies. the school transportation study we plan to finish in the coming year. in terms of our neighborhood program there is a planning side and capital side. hopefully these will be familiar to you all as sort of a summary of the initiatives in each district. either advance last year in the planning side or capital project side. things like the d4 mobility study and great highway concept evaluation report and golden gate access or jfk study. new funding approved for district 7 o
