Would you please sever item number one and on the balance of the calendar items two, three and four we will take those same house, same call. Those ordinances are finally passed. Madam Clerk would you call item number one? Item one, this is an ordinance to approve an amendment to the development agreement for the 3333 California Street Project. Between the city and Laurel Heights partners LLC to extend the term of the development agreement by eight years to September 11th, 2043 to modify the affordable housing requirements to allow the project to qualify for the temporary fee reduction program under the planning code, Section 403, and to include a finance plan with a framework to use incremental property tax revenue to fund the project's public capital facilities and affordable housing and to make the appropriate findings. Same. Oh, I'm sorry, it's supervisor Stephanie, my apologies. Thank you, President Peskin, and I apologize for removing this from the consent calendar. I didn't want to speak on it on election day because we all had things to do but I didn't want to let this go without saying something because I am so excited for this legislative package to pass and I'm confident that these initiatives will bring us one step closer to having more homes built at 3333 and 3700 California Street. It's critical that we get new housing in this neighborhood, especially the senior affordable homes that will enable more of our elders to age in the city and the neighborhoods they love. Through my conversations, I have heard nothing but glowing support for this project. And that includes residence groups like the Pacific Heights Residence Association, the Presidio Heights Association of Neighbors, and many more. And let me just be clear, this support was just not given. It was hard earned through extensive community outreach and meticulous response to neighborhood feedback. I want to thank Prado Group, who's been absolutely amazing and the Office of Economic and Workforce Development and the Mayor's Office for working extensively on these two items. In particular, the Lutensky and the Planning Staff, I can't thank you enough for getting this over the finish line. We've put a lot of work into this and we are going to build homes in D2 and I'm very excited about it. So thank you, I'm grateful for all of your support. Thank you, supervisor Stephanie, and we will take this item same house, same call. The ordinance is finally asked, Madam Clerk. Would you please read our 2PM special order? Yes, the special order is the appearance at today's meeting by the honorable mayor, London and Breed, present to engage in a formal policy discussion with eligible board members. Mayor Breed, welcome. Thank you, President Pasquan and members of the board and members of the public. I wanna start by congratulating Supervisor Catherine Stephanie on her election to the state assembly. I know this is your last meeting at the board of supervisors and I wanna thank you for your years of service to district two, but also the entire city. I know you will continue to do great things for the people of San Francisco and we are looking forward to the work that needs to be done in Sacramento and what that will mean for San Francisco as a whole so congratulations. Right now there is a lot that I could talk about but I want to really talk about some of the fears and the concerns from our immigrant communities, especially in light of this presidential election. There is dangerous rhetoric around threats of mass deportation and separating families. People in the community are already asking two months before the presidential inauguration, what we as a city can do to protect immigrants and maintain our values. And let me start with this. We are a city that proudly supports our immigrant communities. We don't give into fear and anger. We support our sanctuary city policies. But let's take it back a minute. I was sitting in these chambers as president of the Board of Supervisors. The first time Donald Trump was elected president, and at that time, there was a lot of fear. But this city stood up for what we believed and when I became mayor, we continued to stand up for our immigrant communities. But it just wasn't about sending a message about our values. We also invested in programs to support the community, providing legal defense, and providing support for unaccompanied minors who were left at the borders in cages. And we ensured that our immigrant communities had a chance to thrive in our city. And that's who we are. So let me be very clear. To San Francisco's who are living in fear, we will always stand with you and do everything we can to support you, even though we know there will be a shift in leadership. And I hope that the board and the incoming administration believes that too. During my time as mayor with partnerships from the Board of Supervisors, we have increased immigrant legal defense funding for programs, organizations like Curescent by 40% nearly $7 million and have provided them with significant resources to purchase a new building which they are currently rehabbing on Market Street. We've increased funding to Dolores Street, Mission Action for immigrant support to $3.5 million. We've increased funding for our Office of Civic and Gavement and Immigrant Affairs which provides access to resource services and opportunities from $2.8 million to $4.1. The Public Defender's Office, their immigrant defense unit budget, has grown to $2.4 million reflecting increases in legal support and there's much, much, much more that has been done and hopefully will continue to be done. Right now we are working with our city agencies including the City Attorney's Office to discuss ways in which we can protect our residents from any new potential threats in the upcoming administration. But I know the people in this chamber are committing to do so as well. In the coming weeks, leaders in these chambers and in the city will chart a new path forward, because that's who we are. And I hope that we will push forward and not backward. My hope is that so much of this rhetoric and the worst does not come to pass. But either way, I believe in this city as one that will always stand for immigrants and their families and not give in to fear. I believe in the power of our immigrant communities, dating all the way back to the land in which we inhabit under the Ramatusha Lone and their legacy, this land that once belonged to Mexico and the Mexican immigrants who continue to come into this city, this land where all of us can look back at our family's heritage and discover some level of folks who have come here, whether forced or not, we all represent any type of legacy of immigration in our own heritage. And it's important that we remember that and not given to fear and do everything we can as a city to maintain and fight for our values and the things that we believe in. Thank you. Thank you, Mayor Breed and thank you for your second to last appearance at this board of supervisors and we will be able to remind you. and thank you for your second to last appearance at this Board of Supervisors and we wish you- Yours too.

Same house, same call. The ordinance is passed on first reading. Next item, please. Item 24. This is an ordinance to amend the police code to protect access to reproductive health facilities. Supervisor Stephanie. Thank you, President Peskin and colleagues for considering this critical legislation today. California, as you know, has long been at the forefront of protecting access to reproductive health care. Yet in recent years, these protections have come under sustained attack with threats escalating locally and nationally. San Francisco must continue to lead by example, ensuring that health care access is not only preserved but actively safeguarded for patients and providers alike. This urgency is underscored by incidents as recent as this weekend at the San Francisco flagship plan parenthood where patients and volunteer escorts were harassed and filmed against their consent in clear violation of Assembly Bill 1356. Such incidents highlight the ongoing risk faced by reproductive health facilities and the critical need for stronger enforceable protections. At the federal level, the chilling trend of dismantling reproductive rights has grown more aggressive. These developments demand that San Francisco stand as an unwavering defender of reproductive health care, setting the gold standard for safety and access nationwide. The ordinance before you take significant steps to address these challenges. It expands buffer zones around clinics from 25 and 50 feet to 100 feet, aligning with state law under AB 1356. These expanded zones are more than a physical boundary. They represent a commitment to protecting patients and healthcare workers from harassment, intimidation, and violence. This legislation also addresses the broader climate of hostility exacerbated by the DOBS decision, which is emboldened efforts to restrict and obstruct essential health care access. Locally, campaigns like 40 days for life have intensified this environment, with incidents that delay services, violate constitutional privacy rights, and threaten public safety. Beyond buffer zones, this ordinance strengthens enforcement by requiring annual training for San Francisco Police Department officers on laws protecting reproductive healthcare access. It also mandates proactive coordination between law enforcement and reproductive healthcare providers to prevent and respond to disruptions effectively. Another critical provision targets the deceptive practice of impersonating healthcare providers to mislead and intimidate patients. By classifying such acts as harassment, this ordinance ensures patients can seek care without fear or manipulation while allowing providers to focus on delivering vital services. It's important to emphasize that reproductive health facilities provide far more than abortion services. They deliver essential care, including cancer screenings, prenatal services, and contraceptive counseling. Protecting these facilities is about preserving equitable access to comprehensive healthcare for all who need it. I would like to express my gratitude to Sarah Coley and Alicia Cabrera from the City Attorney's Office for their invaluable collaboration throughout this process. Also, I want to extend my sincere appreciation to Director Kimbley Ellis from the Department on the Status of Women for her steadfast support, and to Mayor Breed for her leadership on this crucial issue. And to supervisors Ronan, Dorsey, Manelman, Peskin, and Gardeo for your co-sponsorship. Thank you. A special thanks to my chief of staff, Dominica Donovan, and my legislative aide, Sam Logan, for their hard work and dedicated to this issue. Sorry, guys, didn't think I'd get emotional this quick. Finally, I want to recognize Gilda Gonzalez, a Christian Garcia, Ruth Nunez, and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the community and the San Francisco will not waver in defending access to care and we will hold those who threaten it accountable. Thank you Thank you supervisor Stephanie and thank you for your constant leadership Supervisor Sapp i.e. I just want to be added and thank you supervisor Stephanie for your amazing work. Okay with that we will take this item same house same. The ordinance is passed on first reading. Next item please.

Same house, same call. The resolution is adopted. Same house, same call, the resolution is adopted next item. Item 26, this is a resolution to authorize adoption of the San Francisco Mental Health Services Act annual update for fiscal year 2024 through 2025. Same house, same call, the resolution is adopted. Madam Clerk, at 229 and 35 seconds, let's go to our 230 special order commendations. If you read them slowly, you'll hit 230 on the dot. Yes, it's now time for honoring those who have exhibited exemplary merit and love for our city. All right, first on roll call, I'll speak slowly too. I mean, on special order commendations is district nine, supervisor, Hillary Ronan, and it is 230. Nice job team, nice job. If Antonio Diaz could come to the podium. Oh, I'm so excited about doing this Antonio. I'm going to tell you a little bit about Antonio Diaz, who was present at the first ever National People of Color Summit held in Washington, D.C. in 1991, a watershed event many consider the launch of the Environmental Justice Movement. He had been a co-founder of Polair in Austin, Texas, and at this summit, FATE had him sit next to some of the mission district leaders who would go on to found people organizing to demand environmental and economic justice in San Francisco. Little did he know that love would bring him to the bay thanks to his wife Beth and that he would go on to lead Paubert as its founding director. For 30 years, Antonio has tirelessly, tireless, tirelessly, stewarded Paubert's vision to imagine and bring about a world where everyday people can shape their neighborhoods and their local economies. While his title in role as organizational director is making sure the organization is around for the next generation, he is also the type of leader that rolls up his leaves to knock on doors, takes notes at meetings, organized block parties in Chaparune, cross-country road trips with neighborhood youth. Antonio emulates the spirit of environmental justice through his humble service to others and trust in the leadership of his peers. Today the organization and environmental justice movement that Antonio has played a seminal role in stording is bringing about meaningful change in San Francisco's communities and environment. The seeds of change that Antonio and Polar planted so many years ago have flourished into thriving and community center environmental justice movement in San Francisco. Polar youth, families, and elders are at the forefront of creating the world we want to see. Latino voices are at the forefront of planning their own neighborhoods, advocating for legislative changes, mobilizing votes, reclaiming public land and strengthening community know-how. Antonio's leadership and support of staff and members has resulted in transformational material benefits, such as securing land and public investments to develop more than 1700 new units of affordable housing. Creating, yeah, you can share for that. Creating parking, Nino Souninos in Chan, Cajal Park. Organizing during countless election cycles to mobilize hundreds of people to support progressive valid initiatives. Supporting Earth Justice programs such as the Seven Acrere Hummingbird Farm in the southeast corner of the city and BC's of Boivlo, a BIPOC led mobility freedom effort that has supported hundreds of working adults and youth with bicycle access. Under Antonio's leadership, Polair has also supported larger formations of community and power, community power, co-founding the Mission Anti-Displacement Coalition, the Common Roots Youth Leadership Program, San Francisco Rising, I was there with you for some of those meetings, and the California Environmental Justice Alliance. Antonio's impact is not only seen in the community, but also in the growth of the organization. Long time staff staff remember grassroots beginnings when Poldeir was housed in a windowless 15 by 15 room. Spent many a meeting in that room, making flyers by cutting and pasting images on paper, was scotch tape, and running them through a photocopier and organizing punctures in the mission district. Today, under Antonio's leadership, the organization is housed in a stunning light-filled space adorned with a gorgeous mural that narrates scenes of community struggle and resilience within a hundred percent affordable housing project. Across from the city's first ever environmental justice park that was founded by the leaders of Polde. One staff member, De de, and we got it. I could easily say as many amazing things about. Remember sharing a cross-country road trip with Antonio in 2007 with two 15 passenger of Vans, full of Polarosos, to represent our community at the first US social forum in Atlanta. It's there with you at that too. On the road they joined multiple buses full of movement, family and allies and entered Atlanta, Georgia in a caravan full of hope, ideas, lessons and energy to begin building another world together. Today our San Francisco communities are deeply grateful to Antonio for his years of service which have cultivated countless seeds of resilience. Polair models that another world is possible today. Antonio stands alongside hundreds of Latino community leaders in the mission and the excelsier districts that are organizing and unafraid to co-create a just transition where the most impacted of us stand and fight for what is right. Antonio, I admire you more than I can say in words and I thank you from the bottom of my heart for your tremendous work for so many years. Congratulations. Thank you. Thank you. I am humbled and honored with this commentation especially I would say coming from Supervisor Ronan who before being a supervisor and so able representing the neighborhood past eight years. We were in this working in the same building, the center of the Redlow, inspiring and organizing for the Latino community in San Francisco. Just wanted to thank, once again, those profound words. And just to say that as proud as I am of the work that Bozair has done over the years to have policies around public health, you know, let poising prevention around affordable housing, more recently around climate justice and equitable healthy homes. I'm really proud of the work that we've done to leave our fingerprints in San Francisco. As you mentioned in Chancajal, Casa delante at 2060 to leave our imprint for a healthier, more thriving San Francisco, and especially mission and Excel server for Latino immigrant families and youth. And our commitment is to continuing that work. So I want to thank you and I really appreciate the commendation and the kind words. Thank you. I'm sorry. All right. All right. We are the second in last special order commendation will come from District 11 Supervisor Safai. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you, colleagues. Today I'm happy to recognize Roberto Zentejo and the Zentech Corp and their 40th anniversary of the tremendous work that they've done in San Francisco and in the Excelsior. Please come forward, Mr. Zentejo. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Zentejo and the Zentech Corp and their 40th anniversary of the tremendous work that they've done in San Francisco in the mission in 1984 by Nester and Ramon Castillo, mainly to provide income tax and accounting services to the community in the district. In 1990 as the business grew, they moved to the mission from the mission to the Excelsior, where they still currently operate and are located. And if you've ever been into their business, it's one of the most meticulous, clean, organized businesses you've ever stepped into. And I think that says a lot about the personality of the leadership, but also how they want to present themselves to their clients. In 2002, Mrs. Andejo acquired the business and joined the corporation. The Castillo Brothers in Roberto Metwalt students at San Francisco State University. Soon thereafter, Roberto's son, Roberto's in Tando Junior, also an SF State alum, joined the firm as a partner and he's here with us today. Under new leadership, ZenCorp continued to expand their reach to offer their services to the Greater Bay Area, not just in San Francisco. They've enjoyed great success advertising their services to the Greater Bay Area, not just in San Francisco. They've enjoyed great success advertising their services and informing the public about taxes and finances of 12 plus years of radio segments on KI, QI, KAA, TD and ESPN. They're also very proud to have been named a recommended business by the pink spots in the LGBTQ directory. They take great pride in the fact that their clientele is a true image of San Francisco community, providing consulting and tax services to numerous small businesses, culturally competent income tax preparation, and services to thousands of individuals. And yet, they go out of their way also to be very proud of being a Latino-owned business and serving about 50% of their clientele as Latino. And I think that's important in this day and age, particularly in context of everything that we've been talking about in the chamber today. Roberto's and Teo's senior family immigrated to San Francisco from Guatemala in the summer of 1966 and he is proudly a product of the San Francisco Public School system having attended Winnevista Horace Mann, John O'Connell High School in San Francisco City College and then San Francisco's state graduating from there in 1976. He was recruited by General Electric and became the credit manager for the San Francisco Bay District from 1976 to 81. He later joined the Glidden Company as a Western Regional Credit Manager from 1982 to 1995. And while at Glidden, he completed his studies at graduate school of credit and financial management at Stanford University. Robert Zenteno, senior, story, and success is truly a reflection of San Francisco. We are continuing to fight for and the great contributions of our immigrant communities, many of which need to be uplifted and celebrated in the next four years in particular. I'm proud to have had the opportunity to honor his work here today and his success of him, his family, his son, and how they've served San Francisco for the past 40 years. And that is a big big success for the Zant Corp. Roberto, please, if you'd like to say a few words, we'd be honored to hear what you have to say. But thank you for joining us here today. Well, thank you. I'm honored and certainly humble to be here today. I want to thank a special supervisor for the City of San Francisco. Asha has been tremendous in servicing the business and the general community in the Excelsior District. I'm certainly proud to be part of his district and we will continue. Hopefully I don't promise that I'll be there for the next 40 years but certainly we will do our best to continue to serve the community and we certainly believe that now more than ever the community needs to be provided with tax guidance because there's so much fear out there. There's so much fear. People accusing people of collecting social security when they don't even qualify for unemployment. All those things need to be clarified and explained to people in the community. And we will be there. We will be there because we are part of the excels here, but most importantly, we are part of San Francisco. Thank you so much. Thank you. Madam Clerk, let's go to roll call for introductions. First up to introduce new businesses, Supervisor Ronan. Thank you colleagues. Today I'm introducing a hearing request to hear an update on all the successes of mental health SF and any work going forward to completely implement the law and the rest I submit. Thank you, supervisor Ronan's. Supervisor, thank you, Safa you submit, supervisor Stephanie. I have nothing to submit. Thank you, supervisor Stephanie. Supervisor Walton. Thank you so much Madam Clerk. Colleagues today I do have one introduction. I am introducing an ordinance to designate Leeland Avenue between Basheur Boulevard and Coral Street and Visitation Valley as a neighborhood commercial district. Leeland Avenue is a vibrant corridor that also marks the beginning of the city's cross town trail, but was never designated as an NCD. This process has been led by community and the merchants along Leeland Avenue and partnership with our office, the office of small business, to cultivate a more vibrant pedestrian friendly commercial corridor. This will serve as diverse and as will meet the needs the diverse local community while preserving the unique character and charm of the neighborhood. Leeland Avenue is also located within the Visitation Valley Schlage Lock Special Use District, as well as in close proximity to the Bay Shore Cow Trans Station. I'd like to thank our merchants on Leeland Avenue, especially can and Kelly McCourt of Mission Blue Cafe for organizing fellow merchants, community leaders and residents to push for Leland Avenue to become an NCD. I also want to thank the office of small business, executive director Katie Tang and her staff, Carrie Burnbock and our deputy city attorney, Heather good men for helping draft this legislation, as well as my chief of staff, Natalie Jean. We look forward to making Leland Avenue an official neighborhood commercial district in our planning code, and I invite everyone to come visit the corridor, which is reachable by munilines, the eight, the nine, and the tea train. The rest, I submit. Thank you, supervisor Walton. Supervisor Cham. May I be a wee wee for after a bull president pesky? Re-referred after. Bull president pesky. Okay, thank you. Supervisor Dorsey. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, I am today introducing an updated resolution on Proposition 36, the Drug Addiction and Theth Production Act, which as you may know, passed overwhelmingly two weeks ago. Statewide, as well as citywide, Prop 36 won all 58 of California's counties and all 11 of San Francisco's supervisorial districts. The resolution I'm introducing today urges relevant city agencies to promptly and fully implement Prop 36. In particular, it's newly created criminal offenses known as treatment mandated felonies or TMFs. These will allow local prosecutors to charge as a felony illegal drug possession after two prior convictions. So for a third or subsequent drug offense, defendants would be offered the option to participate in drug treatment to avoid jail time. Along with drug treatment offenders, charged with with TMS would be offered shelter, job training, and other services to break the cycle of addiction and homelessness. Offenders who successfully complete drug treatment programs would then see their drug charges fully expunished. The resolution I'm proposing additionally urges that we prioritize enforcing against public drug use in equity priority communities. Vulnerable neighborhoods disproportionately harmed by chaotic drug scenes and street level drug markets. The passage of Prop 36 provides us a powerful yet flexible new tool to shut down these open-air drug scenes, restore public order, and send a strong message to would-be offenders that public drug use will no longer be tolerated in San Francisco. As San Jose Mayor Matt Mayan said when we both campaign for Prop 36, it's not about returning to the era of mass incarceration. It's about launching a new era of mass treatment. We need mass treatment and treatment mandated felony strike exactly the right balance on public health and public safety. Voters spoke emphatically on this measure and they expect needed progress to come of it. We should heed their direction and implement Prop 36 fully and promptly to start delivering on the promise of drug-free sidewalks and to commit to ending the phenomenon of public drug use in San Francisco. And the rest I submit. Thank you, Supervisorsey, supervisor and guardian. Submit, thank you, supervisor Mandelman. Submit, thank you, supervisor Melgar. Submit, thank you, supervisor Peskin. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, unfortunately, I have a number of immemoria starting with the great Dennis Kelly known to many of us who passed away on November 7th. He was a constituent of supervisor chans and lived for decades with his wife, Henny Kelly, in the Richmond District, and I'm honored to have known him and called him a friend. He was a gifted educator and a champion of public school students and their education. He was a Mark Twain scholar who inspired high school English students first as a teacher at McAteer and then at Lowell. And Dennis was also a legendary labor leader who fought for the basic rights of our teachers, things like fair wages, as well as access to affordable housing. As one of the founding leaders of the 6,000 member United Educators of San Francisco, Dennis fought to secure stronger contracts for teachers and paraprofessionals. He was elected to lead the union and unprecedented four times. Dennis secured a series of successful contracts for our teachers. During one economic downturn as other unions were reporting very small gains, Dennis helped teachers secure a 12% salary increase. He championed policies to increase affordable housing that our teachers so desperately needed and continued to need that resulted in the surleautism apartments in the sunset district. And he led changes in labor and education policy to attract and retain teachers and improve schools not only in San Francisco but statewide. After a half a century of service, Dennis was honored statewide with the Ben Rust Award given to an AFT member for their commitment and involvement in education politics and the trade union movement. At his core, Dennis was all about expanding labor power, but through his leadership, there was never not once the need for teachers to strike. Dennis was also a force in grassroots democratic politics. Together with the indomitable Hany Kelly, his wife, they advocated for working people and underserved communities needs of all teachers. My thoughts are with Henny Kelly and his children, Edith Nathaniel and his entire family, including Wendy. Next, I would like to adjourn today's meeting in the memory of Troy Dangerfield, who passed away peacefully on November 5th at the ripe age of 97. Troy was a dedicated public servant and community advocate. In his early career, Troy was a member of the Marine Cooks and Stewards Union and served on merchant ships. His love of the sea took him to ports around the world. He came back home to raise his family and then joined the police force here in San Francisco at age 35. In the mid 1970s, the San Francisco Police Department had no women in patrol and few minorities. Troy was charged with changing that. Through his leadership, the police department recruited significantly more minorities and women to become officers. And the San Francisco PD became the state's first police department to have women police officers on patrol. The minority recruitment program was so successful that it became the model for other departments in the state and across the country. Through his career, Troy was an advocate for fair policing in minority communities and for fair hiring practices within the police department. He joined with several other Minority Police officers in the PD to form officers for justice, which is still active today. As a result of their work, the OFJ was responsible for eliminating San Francisco police department's minimum height requirements, discriminatory testing policies and drills, and discrimination related to sex, race, and age. Troy retired from the police department as a lieutenant in 1989. And finally, colleagues, his was sadness that I adjourned today's meeting in the memory of Jeff Herald, Cooperman, a devoted father, brother, son, and friend. Jeff passed away peacefully on November 11th, surrounded by loved ones after a courageous battle with Geoplastoma. He was a mere 57 years old. He grew up with a deep appreciation for creativity in the arts as he pursued his passion by earning a BA from Kenyan College and MFA from the New York Academy of Art. Jeff went on to pursue a career in animation with various companies throughout the Bay Area. His artistic vision touched countless projects. Outside of his professional life, Jeff was a dedicated father, an avid, open water-based swimmer, a passionate photographer, and an active member of San Francisco's and Catherine Stephanie's South End Rowling Club. His photographs of swimming and swimmers and the living waters of San Francisco Bay reveal the beauty of nature, the joy of the sport, and the bonds of intergenerational athletic community. Whether taking pictures, documenting the experience of hundreds and hundreds of swimmers, Jeff captured for the eternity the essence of our beautiful Bay and the range of human emotions involved in taking in the cold water. Jeff has survived by his four children. He will also be remembered by his parents, siblings, and a wide circle of friends from Kenyan College, North Bay Aquatics, and the South and Rowan Club. His warmth, wit, talent, and generous heart will be missed by all who had the privilege of knowing him and the rest I will submit. Thank you, Mr. President. Supervisor Chan has to be re-referred. Thank you. I just want to join President Peskin in remembering Dennis Kelly. I am saddened to say that, you know, that today that we honor him and pay tribute to him while really wanted also to wrap our love and support for his family, including Henny, Nathaniel, and his partner Wendy, and Ethel, and his three, three, adoring grandchildren. And Dennis Kelly was not only a friend and a mentor, but he was my neighbor, just a couple blocks down. He was the founder of the Richmond District Neighborhood Center. And really was one of the people that always show up at community meetings, making sure that we may contributions and put a size our personal differences to still make progress and move things forward. I could always count on him to give me good and sound a voice. And in fact, with his great sense of humor, to go along with all those of us, I want to say that it's a great loss for the Richmond and for the labor movement. But I know that his legacy will live on. So thank you and the rest I submit. Thank you, supervisor Chan. Supervisor Preston. Thank you, Madam Clerk. And thank you, President Peskin and Supervisor Chan for the tribute to Dennis Kelly. And we just want to add my condolences to Henny and the entire family and please add me to that immemorial. Supervisor, if there's no objection, why don't we make that from the full board of supervisors without objection? That was words right out of my mouth. Thank you. Colleagues, today I'm pleased to announce the release of four pillars for success, the first comprehensive road map for tackling our city's drug crisis. As you may recall, colleagues, back in January, we requested that the budget and legislative analyst prepare a detailed analysis of Zurich's successful four pillars plan and compare it to what San Francisco's doing, map out what it would look like to implement Zurich's four pillars plan here compare it to what San Francisco is doing map out what it would look like to implement Zerix for pillars plan here in San Francisco. The BLA has completed a 118 page report released today that maps out a proven path to addressing addiction, public drug use and associated crime. I want to start by commending Fred Brusso, Terry Feeley, analyze a PUE at the Budget and Legislative Analyst's Office for their extensive work over the last year on this. They worked with local, national, and international experts and departments, including officials from San Francisco, New York, and Zurich, Switzerland, to explore successful strategies and flag potential improvements to our local response. While the report was delayed by slow responses from several departments, it was, in my opinion, worth the wait. In the document, you'll find many answers about our current drug crisis response, including many things that we have asked about here at this board, repeatedly and not gotten data and information is all now laid out in the BLA report. So I commend it to you all to review that report. I also want to thank my former legislative aide Melissa Hernandez for her tireless work to advance evidence-based approaches to this crisis, and her work specifically on this report. Our city has taken what can only be described as a reactive approach to its drug crisis launching short-term efforts that have yielded mixed results and have often contradicted each other. And there's no doubt that we have many people working hard on a daily basis to address the Drug crisis in our streets and some of the treatment outreach in particular has recently been showing some positive results but There has been no comprehensive approach among the various departments and stakeholders and no planning that combines short-term and long-term strategies. At no time have all stakeholders and departments been brought together to create a plan with broad buy-in. Fortunately, San Francisco's sister, City in Zurich, has created a blueprint and solved a similar crisis using what is known as their four pillars strategy, which is based on comprehensive strategic planning and coordination among various Zurich departments. In October 2023, just over a year ago, Zurich sent a delegation to San Francisco, which met with departments and officials to discuss their approach to the drug crisis. Zurich was dealing for years with issues just like what we see in the streets of San Francisco today, particularly in the Tenorland, South of Market neighborhoods in my district and the Resurduorsi district, and that is open drug use in public places, issues with cleanliness and crime, and high numbers of overdose deaths. Zurich's needle park, as it was known, at the peak of Zurich's drug epidemic saw up to 1,000 drug users each day. And at the time Zurich had made failed attempts repeatedly to shut down drug markets through a law enforcement focused approach. Eventually, the city united around the four pillars strategy under which four equally important strategies, prevention, treatment, harm reduction, and enforcement are coordinated and work together. The four pillars policy has reduced overdose deaths in Zurich by over 60 percent, while also dramatically improving street conditions, and reducing related crime, including a 98 percent reduction in thefts. Zurich shows very clearly that we don't have to choose between addressing street conditions and saving lives. The report released today provides a sweeping and detailed overview of the overdose crisis in San Francisco, as well as the data and metrics on the city's current response. And of note, the report found that only an estimated 25% of San Francisco's with opioid use disorder received medications to treat in contrast to Zurich, where more than 75% of residents addicted to opioids are taking medication for their opioid use disorder. And overwhelming majority of people who are arrested for drug use in San Francisco do not access treatment. Calling into question are increased reliance on arresting drug users, arrests which have surged under this administration in the last couple years as detailed in the report with data that had not previously been disclosed. The report also found more than 40% of the non-fatal opioid overdoses in San Francisco appear to be from unintentional consumption of fentanyl, suggesting the need for easily accessible and available drug checking. San Francisco also currently lacks a coordinated interdepartmental approach to the drug crisis. Instead relying on the drug market agency coordination center, known as DMACC, that has currently led by the San Francisco Police Department and focused primarily, if not exclusively, on short-term law enforcement responses. The budget legislative analysts report also makes recommendations to improve San Francisco's response to the overdose crisis, including adoption of a comprehensive citywide drug policy, incorporating input from key stakeholders such as the Department's Public Health and homelessness and support of housing, police and fire departments, experts, community-based organizations and residents, establishment of safe consumption sites to reduce fatalities and redirect public drug use. And it is important to note these sites are a key part of not just the harm reduction pillar, but the enforcement pillar. As the experience in Zurich shows drug users in public places are offered a safe place to go, and if they refuse face enforcement, an approach that has effectively ended public drug use in Zurich and yet we stubbornly refuse to follow that approach. The report also recommends establishment of city operated wellness hubs with or without safe consumption sites attached to connect people with treatment, housing and other assistance. It further recommends changing the culture of our local drug policy approach by implementing cross-departmental exchanges and site visits between police, public health, homeless services, street teams, representatives, and if one or more open-safe consumption site staff and improving data tracking around treatment access, drug-related related arrests and case outcomes. There is a lot more in the 118-page report. Again, I urge you to review it. And colleagues, when the tenderloin was redistricted into District 5 in 2022, I worked with the Department of Public Health to create the city's first overdose prevention plan, which called for overdose prevention sites and expandedment, where it's been implemented lives have been saved. With the four pillars for Success Plan announced today, we're taking the next big step. And that is teeing up a bold roadmap with a track record of success for city leaders to unite around. This new report analyzes how successful four pillars, strategies to reduce drug overdoses and improve street conditions could be implemented here. And it's my hope that four pillars for success, a product of extensive research over the last year, provides a roadmap that our city has been missing for the incoming mayor, board, and departments to finally get this crisis under control. I also have an in-memorium today, colleagues, would like to offer an in-memorium for Mira by Martin Parker, known to everyone as Mira, a longtime District 5 resident and small business owner who passed away on October 21st at the age of 55. Mira Martin Parker was born on February 18, 1969 here in San Francisco. She's been her earliest years in Berkeley before moving to Southern California where she lived in Orange County, Newport Beach, and Santa Monica, and she lived in Fresno for a time as well. She left high school, earned her GED, and began her academic career at various community colleges in Southern California. Miro was a gifted writer, a passionate philosopher, and a brilliant academic. She earned her BA from the new school for social research, followed by an MA in philosophy and an MFA in creative writing from San Francisco State University. In Los Angeles, she met the love of her life, Nick Parker, 30 years ago. Together, they relocated to New York and eventually settled down here in San Francisco in the inner sunset. On March 16, 2009, Nick and Mira opened Mercury Cafe in Hayes Valley. The cafe is a vibrant extension of Mira herself filled with her carefully chosen books, decorations, and flowers, a space that reflects her creativity, caring nature, and love of the written word. Mira was an accomplished poet and writer. Her work has appeared in various publications, including the Istanbul Literary Review, North Dakota Quarterly, Great Weather for Media, and Zizafa. Zizafa, I'm not sure how to pronounce it. Parkers collection of short stories, the carpet merchant's daughter won the 2013 five quarterly e-chap book competition. Mira gave freely to those in need, whether it was cooking meals for her neighbors who were ill or rushing home to gather clothes for someone who was homeless. She consistently put the well-being of others above her own. Mira was a lover of life's complexities and the human struggle, an advocate for kindness and a better world, and a deeply fun and vibrant presence. She was preceded in death by her parents, Priscilla Hazelwood and Douglas Martin. She survived by her husband Nick and her son Julian and her brother Immanuel Martin. And her half-siblings Sage Martin, Troy Mesele, Horace Martin, and Laura Howard. And countless friends and neighbors whose lives she brightened and who received the kindness she spread and the stories she shared. I'd like to extend my condolences to Mira's family, friends and neighbors and to the working class community that she served all her life. Rest in power, Mira, the rest I submit. You supervisor Preston. Mr. President, seeing no names on the roster that concludes the introduction of new business. Let's go to public comment. All right at this time those of you who are here to speak in the chamber please line up on your right hand side. We're setting the timer for two minutes. You are welcome to speak to the mayoral appearance. The approval of the October 8th and the 15th, 2024, board meeting minutes as presented, and items 29 and 30, the items on the adoption without being considered by committee. All other matters will have been provided the opportunity during the committee for public comment. Welcome, first speaker. Yes, you're welcome. I think I need to go straight to the point because you're hypocrisy never sleeps. I mean, we don't want QR codes. Yeah, the top of the parasites here, an intelligence. We don't want your codes. No QR codes, no digital ID, no digital ID, no plan for you. Doesn't work. No bio-security states. See? Information. You need to pay attention, if you don't pay attention you're gonna pay anyway Let alone today is the 19 it's perfect No again certificate of vaccination ID otherwise known as COVID In reverse in the mirror reading Devote in a sort of language spoken by in different countries, but a lot in Hollywood. It means demon. Demon. Wake up. Call here. I don't generally do that. The skies. You are messing with the skies again. We said it's not allowed. Now you're done. Self-control. The reason why technology, as a tool or now a weapon, cannot achieve self-control is because by definition it's a machine, which therefore has no self-control is because by definition it's a machine, which therefore has no self-control, whereas we need self-control to copy eternity. Otherwise, our life is gonna be much shorter as the species as well. Have a good night. Thank you, Bouk good night. Merci beaucoup. Next speaker please. Good afternoon. Ma'am, can you speak directly into that microphone? Good afternoon. Thank you. My name is Della Edwards. I was formerly a resident of San Francisco having been educated in all of its public schools, graduating from San Francisco State University, and a BA in broadcast communications, and a Parallegal Study Certificate for which I work for the San Francisco City Attorney's Office under the great Louise Riney. I said all that to say, having gone through law school, and now I want it to start a small business in San Francisco, I applied for a business permit and filled out the requirements and wanted to participate in the pop-up at the San Francisco Century. And I was told that my design or my art did not fit within the criteria of what an artist should be within the city and county of San Francisco. I was also told that I must be a resident and that my product must be made in mass quantity and put together in San Francisco. Now having worked for the government section, I knew that that was not true. And I asked for it to be placed in writing, which I never did. Long story short, I would like to participate in the San Francisco pop-up at the San Francisco Century because I qualified. I recently won a pitch competition held at the Grace Cathedral in San Francisco, and I was first place. I believe that my product, which is handmade by me, and this is a patented, this is a bottle cover that you can put over your champagne, wine, water, whatever beverage. It comes in different styles. And long story short, this should not, I shouldn't even be here talking to you. Although I love to see each of you, I would hope that someone in this office can facilitate my concerns to Miss Mary Ann Thompson. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker. Hi, all. It's been a minute. I'm Demetri Akushkin. I live in the Castro. Last year I filed an ethics complaint against Steve Adami, who is the former director of the way out initiative. I'm sorry, the former director of the probation department in San Francisco, the reentry program, and is the current director of the way out initiative, which is a recovery program under the Salvation Army here in a city. Lobby secured funds from even poached employees from the city long before the one year cooling off period which the long mandates. Now the ethics commission did its independent investigation and found wrongdoing and forwarded it to the DA's office which is where a fear it is stalled as the DA and Adami are well aligned in the way out initiatives goals and also of campaigned and for and with each other. Now I have asked the DA Jenkins to recuse herself from this case, but I've heard nothing back nor has ethics and you may be asking, why am I here at the board? Well, the exact time that the dummy was breaking the law and contacting his former employer, he was here in this room receiving a commendation from the board. Now, we talk about law and order, and I believe that we should get our own house in order and focus on the people who are responsible for law and order who are breaking the law and out of order. Now, what I am asking for is help in securing some accountability in first just in the ethics process and closing loopholes, but also in this particular issue. Thank you. You have an email, some of you have received an email which contains the entirety of the complaint and you have my undying help and in this process. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, welcome. We've come to collect that from you. I hope you can see me a little short. Hi, my name is Susan Fyfer. I think you all know me or most of you. I'm here today to remind you that the 2025 covered California enrollment period is now and what is covered California for those who are still confused. It's Obamacare for California. If you know what Obamacare is, then you know what cover California is. The 2025 enrollment period is from November 1st, 2024, and we'll run through January 31st, 2025. Enrollment is open to those over the age of 18, legally residing in California. And this year, open enrollment is also open to DACA recipients for the very first time. I hope you will let your constituents know that. There's also a period when this is also a period with those who are currently on cover California on a plan. Can change their plan or their insurance carrier. Those enrolling between November 1st and December 31st, 2024 will have plans beginning on January 1st, 2025. Enrollments done in January will begin on February 1st, 2025. There have been some changes to cover California in the 2025 enrollment year. And that is DACA recipients who have only been able to enroll in Medi-Cal and the past can now get a full cover California plan for the first time. There's also, will be approximately a 7% rate increase across the board and premiums. But there's ways to mitigate that. Check cover California online or call coverca.com or call 1-800-301-506. If your constituents have already worked with a license cover California agent or a role model counselor, they should continue to work with that person if they are comfortable. If they do not have a direct contact, you now all have my card and my contact. Thank you for your comments. Thank you for the information. Thank you for your information. Let's hear from our next speaker. Welcome. I'm here today to talk about ranked choice elections. I cannot and will not participate in election methodology that requires me to vote for more than one candidate or all candidates. To think that a candidate is forced to vote against themselves as absurd and to do it multiple times as bizarre for any candidate who ran in a ranked choice contest this last election and lost. The winner, thanks you for your vote. Also, I look forward to the success of the Four Pillars Project. It will allow people to focus on public corruption. Peace. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker. Good afternoon. If I may ask if the display can be shown on television throughout the conversation or the public comment. That is on my hands if that is of Colorado from then 2019 or if then within San Francisco's Munich 14 mission district from then the election of November 5, 2024.

If there is a replay, well as far ago, but then a smaller bank to then of trusted for then how then of pollution of the bank accounts. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker. Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors. This is certainly an August place to meet and it's an example of democracy and action, but I've been coming to City Hall for 60 years, starting with being a hasting student in 1964 to the current. And many people don't know the history of many of the rooms in City Hall. Well, ironically, I had to chase down my jacket here because I'm disabled. And I have a tendency to fall at any moment. And I try and appear like I'm upright, but I needed the stock jacket, left it outside, it was turned in. And then the game began because this was on the Tuesday of the election day and going upstairs and downstairs between the basement and trying to find the mysterious room 108. No, it's not 108. It's 008. And so at least today, after two weeks, I recovered my jacket and I'm thankful for that. The other little comment I'd like to make is that I do receive meals from an agency that is sponsored by the Health Department in San Francisco. With the recent articles on black plastic, they're being served in black plastic trays with instructions to heat at 350 degrees for four minutes. This is poisoning me daily. I've stopped using them in the heater, I mean, in the microwave and put them on a plate to save myself, but this is something that needs to be concerned and considered. Thank you. Thank you for the information, sir. Are there any other members of the public who'd like to address the board during general public comment? If no one else gets up, then this will be our last speaker. Welcome. Thank you. Good afternoon, supervisors. Beverly Epton, she, her, San Francisco domestic violence consortium. I'm really here on behalf of the consortium and everybody who staffs your shelters, your domestic violence shelters, answers your crisis lines, has legal services for survivors of domestic violence in San Francisco. We are here to really, I'm here to really thank supervisor Catherine Stephanie for being a friend and ally and a champion all these years on these issues. Domestic violence, sexual assault, stalking, trafficking are not political issues, but they do require political will and require leadership of which we have seen in many of you that will no longer be here. So, this is not just for Catherine, but because today is her last Board of Supervisors meeting, we want to thank you, Catherine Stephanie, for all of your work, for being transparent with us. Now I'm going to get choked up, telling the truth, and helping us keep the shelters open, the crisis lines, answered, and the restraining orders coming. We appreciate it so much. And to everyone else, I'll just say, we're gonna continue to need you. Catherine Champion and God started the Family Violence Council over seven years ago. There's a lot of transition that's gonna be happening there. We really are gonna need you all to help us keep the Family Violence Council going, elder abuse, child abuse and domestic violence and all of the ancillary issues that really plague San Francisco in this kind of hidden epidemic. Right now we're looking at probably 15,000 people a year that are reaching out for these services. We are constantly on the chopping block, constantly afraid, trying to work with other people who are afraid. So we just wanna thank Catherine for her leadership and encourage you. We think we've earned your support over the years and we will continue to do so. But this is the very special day and we wanna thank Catherine. Thank you so much is a very special day and we want to thank Catherine. Thank you so much. Thank you so much. Mr. President. Public comment is closed. Madam Clerk, why don't we go to the adoption without committee reference calendar? Items 29 and 30 were introduced for adoption without reference to committee. A unanimous vote is required for adoption of a resolution on first reading today. Alternatively, a member may require a resolution on first reading to go to committee. And why don't you sever item number 30 and call item 29. Item 29, this is an approval of a retroactive 90-day extension for the planning commission to review planning code zoning map central Soma and transit center district commercial development requirements for file number a 240787. Roe call. Oh no, supervisor Presidents and the chambers will take that same house same call. The resolution is adopted. Would you read item 30 please? Item 30 this is a resolution to honor the outstanding service of Catherine Stephanie, supervisor for San Francisco District 2, and to declare November 19th, 2024, as supervisor Catherine Stephanie Day in the city and county of San Francisco. And wish her very well in her next chapter. Thank you Madam Clerk. Colleagues, before we hear this item, I have a few words. I've known supervisor Stephanie since 2007, getting on to a couple of decades and had the pleasure of working with her in three of her incarnations. But she has many incarnations that not all of us are aware of. I think many of us know that she was a deputy district attorney in Contra Costa County at the dawn of her career. But I don't think a lot of us know that she worked in the state assembly for speaker, Weson, as well as in San Jose for my friend, then in her capacity as vice mayor of San Jose, Cindy Chavez. But I do know her in her incarnation when she was serving the people of the city in County in District 2 when she was my colleague, Supervisor Michaela Alioto, peers legislative aid. And then went on to be Supervisor Ferrell's legislative aid and then went on to be supervisor Ferrell's legislative aid and somewhere along the way became county clerk and then ultimately rather than serving as a legislative aid she served as a supervisor where she was elected twice in her own right. And throughout her tenure as a city employee and as a supervisor, Catherine has shown a deep sense of responsibility to ensure that our city remains vibrant and safe and welcoming. And her time on the board has been characterized, I think, as we all know by a collaborative spirit, as she consistently works across departments and her colleagues with grace and integrity. Catherine, as you embark on your new journey as a member of the California State Assembly, we know you will carry with you the same dedication and vision and strong values that has led you to do all sorts of things from the banning of ghost guns, the declaration of the NRA as a domestic terrorist organization, which got us a few emails, which I think I still get. And as a member of this board, but most importantly, as a fellow member of the mighty South and I want to extend my and our deepest gratitude and congratulations wishing you all of the best in your new role knowing that you'll continue to positively impact the city from our state's capital. Gratze Mille, supervisor Stephanie, Boinefortuna, my friend, and congratulations on the declaration today, November 19th as Catherine Stephanie Day in the city and county of San Francisco. Supervisor Walton. Thank you so much President Peskin in first. I just want to say congratulations on your election to the state assembly. It is well deserved. I really just want to say that I appreciate your leadership on this board of supervisors but really appreciate the way you were able to lead without being vindictive and without having to sometimes the spirit of negative-in fighting that comes with this role.

Next up is Supervisor Shaman Walton. Thank you so much, President Peskin, and as I was starting to say, supervisor Stephanie, I just want to congratulate you on your election to the assembly, and really just thank you so much for your leadership around gun violence, around protecting people's rights, around playing parenthood. And just for doing the work with decorum, and leading in a manner that, of course course is representative of how we should carry ourselves as elected officials. So thank you so much for your service. And I know we're going to of course end up working together while you're at the state. And I'm just here to again continue to fight against gun violence in particular and look forward to seeing what you do in the future at the state level. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you, Supervisor, Supervisor Dorsey. Thank you, President Peskin. Supervisor Stephanie, I am really going to miss you as my desk neighbor. And you know, when I was contemplating whether to ask for this job, I had a lot of conversations with people and I had some old friends on this board and I know that we had coffee and it was really exciting to, I knew you as an acquaintance, but to start to get to know you and I think I was really infectious your love for the city and influential on me making a decision that I was going to ask for that job. Years ago I worked in the Clinton administration and there was a line that I heard the legendary James Carval say at that time that you pay me for my head, but I throw my heart in for free. And in many ways, that's a line that reminds me very much of you. I think taxpayers get more than their money's worth from somebody who is a trained lawyer, informal prosecutor, department head, accomplished lawmaker. But when you throw your heart in for free, I think that's what makes you such an extraordinary leader on gun violence, reproductive rights, domestic violence, public safety, and so many of the priorities that we share. I'm really grateful that San Francisco is going to continue to benefit from your leadership. You will continue to hear from me when I have ideas about state legislation for the priorities that we share And I know that we're going to have opportunities to work together But I'm really going to miss you. I want to say congratulations. Good luck and you'll be hearing from me. Thanks Supervisor Mandelman Thank you, President peskin Catherine Stephanie, I feel so fortunate and lucky that I have been able to work with you for six and a half years. Catherine has told me on any number of occasions how many people warned her how crazy I am and how difficult I would be to work with and what a pleasant surprise it was that I actually was not. And I will say that nobody said that about you. I came in with no expectation that Catherine Stephanie would be anything other than lovely to work with and confident and smart and you have proven to be all of those things. I've enjoyed becoming your friend. I am hoping you will still have time for me when you go off to Sacramento. I want to apologize to your staff because we are friends and my favorite thing to do to Catherine Stephanie is to go into the office on a Tuesday, go into her office and get her wound up about something that's coming to the board and worried about how she's going to vote on it, and then leave her staff to deal with the wreckage. And so I want to apologize to all of you for the many times that I have done that. I think, Katherine, you are going to be such an amazing assembly woman. San Francisco has had some great people in Sacramento. We need great people in Sacramento. All of our problems, our Sacramento problems, our California problems. And so you're going to go solve homelessness and mental health and crime and drugs and Transportation and housing and everything else and we're gonna be cheering for you from here. So thank you Catherine Thank you Supervisor Manderman Supervisor Melgar Thank you so Catherine. I love you And I'm gonna miss you dearly here, but I am really looking forward to working with you collaboratively at the state. We of course may have met when we were both AIDS, me to a supervisor of Mars, and we were with Mark Farrell. And I think for those of us who have been AIDS, like supervisor Ronan, supervisor Chan, we know that AIDS bond in a special way, because we go through this. And now being in this position with you is totally different. And you are collaborative and lovely. And I have admired how deeply you feel and empathize with people who need our work and support, victims of domestic violence, moms who have lost children to gun violence, women who are seeking health care. I know you care so deeply, and I so admire your passion, and I'm so excited that that passion is going to Sacramento because it'll serve as well and we need it. I also wanna say that, you know, when things get heated and emotional here, which sometimes they do, I have always appreciated that you have the ability to, you know, just close the door and talk it out. And I just really appreciate that it's rare and I'm going to miss it. And one last thing that I have to say is I'm going to miss your staff because they are all so lovely, so smart, so thoughtful, detailed, oriented, they support you well, but they also support everyone else on the floor as well. And so kudos to you for having higher trained and have a staff that is so collaborative and wonderful. And I'm gonna miss you dearly. But not so much, because I'm gonna work with you on the website. So thank you. Supervisor Chan? Thank you, President Peskin. Supervisor Stephanie, you know, it's really, it's an honor to serve with you on this board. We knew each other when I was eight to Supervisor Sophie Maxson. And it's really an honor to serve with you on this board. We knew each other when I was eight to supervisor Sophie Maxson. You were a supervisor, Michaela A little peered. It was like long ago. But it was so good also to just witness, as a witness to your journey of this career, seeing that I was so excited when you were at point to as our county clerk. You really brought the professionalism to our county clerk's office. You really make sure that things run well. And so when you were running for the seats, or for your seats right now, as a district supervisor, which is great to see that you continue and that you see you continue to advance to the state level. Yes, at times that we may have disagreements, but you always been respectful and collegial, and I really appreciate that, and I'm very grateful for that. And that also you're always very brave. I really respect even if we disagree, you believe what you do. And the commonality that we have is that we want to bear some of this go, and that we really believe in LGBTQ rights, women's rights and really wanted to protect our community from violence and guns. And I think that for that, you will always have my greatest respect for the work that you do. And I really look forward to serving a assembly district 19, also part of the Richmond, or Richmond is part of the district 19 with you. And I'm also really glad to be honest, having a woman representing San Francisco. In the state assembly, it's really good to see. And so thank you and we wish you luck, or I wish you luck and please know that we're're also here always here when you want to come home and work together and and find safe harbor from Sacramento. Supervisor and cardio. Supervisor Stephanie as the the newest board member here for the last two years I'm really lucky that I got to overlap with you. It's just been such a joy to work with you. All the time when I was on the outside and writing my column and the examiner and doing all my community work, I always knew about you and the work you did going back years. I just always admired you. It was just such an honor to win this this seat to get to work with you. I'm so lucky that I had this time with you and the Public Safety Committee. Just spending time in your office and learning about the ropes and what to do, what not to do. Your staff is amazing. I spend a lot of time hanging out with your staff, and they hang out with my staff. It's just a collegial experience. It really means a lot to me and like one of my favorite moments was the time You and I went to the Japanese Consulate and I'll just leave it at that But that was like very special favorite moment though. I'll cherish forever Supervisor Ronin Thank you Catherine you and I are so passionate that we sometimes, but what I love is how we come back together And we take that same passion and on the things we agree with we're required to team and so it has just been such a Pleasure to work with you and when I am most excited about About your leadership in Sacramento is how you're gonna take on The NRA and how you're going to protect our kids and our communities from guns. I've always deeply, deeply admired that work that you have done as far back as I can remember and I've always counted on you to lead that work because you do it so well. And I'll just always be your ally and your fan and that and anything you need. And just thanks for being a great friend. You've always cared about me personally and I've cared about you personally and it's meant a lot to me over the years. So I wish you the best and I know we'll keep working together and stay in touch forever. But congratulations. It's really, really, really exciting to see you. Move to this next step. Supervisor Prussian. Thank you. Congratulations. Supervisor Stephanie, congratulations on your victory. And thank you for all of your service over the years and for your advocacy. Like others have noted your strong advocacy, particularly for victim rights and on violence prevention and gun violence issues. I think obviously you and I have our differences on the policy front. And I think those tend to get a lot of attention to the outside world. And as with many colleagues, like what gets less attention is the outside world. And as with many colleagues, like what gets less attention is the areas where we all work together on this board. You know what I would say, in particular, you and I have served together as Chair and Vice Chair of the GAO Committee, and I think it's done some really important oversight work over the last couple of years. Our offices have worked, I very well together and at a staff level in particular on the day-to-day issues of our residents and small businesses and I think particularly for those of us who's we share a boundary and then to have that boundary in the middle of our terms moved around there's just constantly things coming up in areas that you used to represent or I used to represent and I think our offices have navigated that and worked together to support small businesses and residents. And I think the one thing that really stands out for me and I've spoken about this at the board was our work together after the redistricting on the shelter, the family shelter for families and for victims of domestic violence. And I think I remember being, we'd done a lot of work to get that going and being very worried when the redistricting moved it, you know, a block outside our district and at right at the time when there was great uncertainty of what was going to happen and was the building going to be sold off or not. And I just really appreciated your approach from the minute I first talked to you about that and we collaborated in ways that really are bigger than like any one of us and now will permanently have 58 private rooms, thanks to really to that collaboration and us being able to navigate and you being open to working together on a project like that even as district lines moved. And that as I said is now is now permanent thing so I appreciate you you know as I said even in areas where we have our disagreements I think you're very much a person in your word I've always found that you do what you say you're gonna do our honest and your dealings with your colleagues and have been willing to collaborate on some pretty big and important things. So I wish you all the best in Sacramento and look forward to continuing to work with you. Mr. Reviser, Sapphire. Thank you, Mr. President. So many things have been said, but the thing that I want to say, Catherine, is more than anything, I think you approach this from a different perspective than a lot of people do. You start as a parent first, somebody that cares about being a role model for their kids, and you live that every day. And I have appreciated that about you. You always, I think you and I have shared many stories together about what it means to be a parent and elected official at the same time. And we shared a lot of laughs together. I know my ADHD distracts you consistently in this chamber. Don't worry Hillary, I'll share some of that for you later, Hillary. But we've had a lot of good laughs, and we've grown, and we've sat in this chamber seven years together, and then prior to that, when you were a legislative aid. And I think that's the most important thing that, you know, the values that you impart to your kids. You know, we share that in common. And more importantly, you know, I think you're someone that cares about giving. And I think that's what makes me proud to see you go to the next level. I think you're going to be able to run circles around people in Sacramento because you've survived this chamber and you've survived the politics here. Locally, and as Shaman said, you've always been one to rise above and always kind of keep to quorum and I appreciate that about you. So I'll miss our check-ins, I'll miss our laughs and I know you'll continue to fight for gun control and reproductive rights and domestic violence and all the things that matter, public safety that all the things that matter that we share in common and so I'm proud to see you go to that next level and keep being a triathlete. I'm surprised no one mentioned that, but I'm in awe of that as well. So I'm happy to have served with you and so proud that you won this election and the way you did it. You did it with grace and honor. Supervisor Stephanie, the time has come. Wow, thank you colleagues. This is definitely bittersweet. Michaela said, don't get up there and cry. And then of course, Senator Feistai and her book has never let them see you cry. And here I am resisting the temptation to do just that because I love this building. And I love you all. I love this job. I love the opportunity to be of service to my community. And you know, I've been in this building for 17 years. Gigi said to me last night, mom, you've been in that building longer than I've been alive. And even before then, I came to this building one day. I was bumping around in my career. I was as president Paschal mentioned. I was a lawyer. And I knew I wanted to be in public service. And I called my old friend, Mike Far Farah who I went to college with. We were like one of five Democrats at St. Mary's College and we ran the Democrats Club there and I called and I said I really want to get into service and so I met him for an informational interview when he worked for the mayor, Newsom. And so I met him and we went around and he came to the legislative or the clerk's office and he said, you need this, this legislative process handbook. This is what you need to learn if you want to be a legislative aid here. And I just remember that, you know, because I wanted to be in this building so badly. And thanks to supervisor Alio Topeir, she hired me in January of 2007. My son was two. I had childcare issues. He'd come with his DVD player and watch the sound of music in the recorder, and Michaela had no problem with that. He learns his love for computers on our machines, our little computers, as my interns would show him that if you changed the font on a period, it would get bigger and bigger and bigger. Now he's a sophomore in college studying computer science. So, also being pregnant with my daughter here and benefiting from the leave that we have and watching, you know, my legislative aide, friends Rally, and do a baby shower for me and the Presidio working group that I had, the neighbors remember Jam Blum. They got me my stroller for GG. And just I have so many memories in this building. I just, I can't even begin to think that I'm not gonna walk in here every day. I did, I grew up here. Nine years as a legislative aide, two years as a county clerk, and now almost seven as a supervisor. And you know, one, a special memory that I will have forever. When I got sworn in on January 8, 2019, my dad was right here. And that was his last trip ever to San Francisco, and his last trip ever out of Merced, because you all know he was a diagnosed with Louis body dementia and to have that memory and for him to see me get sworn in when he's always instilled the love of public service was something I will never forget. So thank you to all of you who have been there for me, all of you actually have. All of you have said such incredibly kind things about what I've gone through with my dad, who is still with us, somehow he still wants to hang on. But really what I wanted to focus on today was gratitude, because I am so grateful to so many people that made all of this possible. And it is just really with immense gratitude that I stand here today and knowing how lucky I am to be in this position, to be on this esteemed board. We are, you know, this, this, I know people don't really like the board of supervisors, but you know, we all do incredible work here. And we get to serve this beautiful city and I'm just so grateful for this. It's truly been an honor of a lifetime and one that I will carry with me in every chapter of my life. Over the past seven years I have sought to embody the values. Like I said instilled in me by my father that service to others is really the highest distinction. Together we have faced daunting challenges. You know we've had the pandemic, our public safety issues, our education issues, housing, mental health issues and addiction. We've really worked on so many things together. And although we've had different opinions, the thing I love about you all, you care so deeply. We might not always agree on all the solutions, but we all care so deeply. And if we could just take all that, but we all care so deeply. And if we could just take all that care and concern for others and use it towards one another is we just grapple through those solutions. I think we can continue to make great change in this city. And I have faith in all of you that we will continue to do that together. We went through, like I said, so many challenges, but we've really achieved historic milestones as well. And the legislation that I was able to work on, the support of all of you in your votes really helped us achieve many things. And I just want to go through a few things because my legislative team has been amazing. We stood firm against the scourge of gun violence, I just want to go through a few things because my legislative team has been amazing. We stood firm against the scourge of gun violence, stood up to the NRA. I'll never forget declaring the NRA domestic terrorist organization. So thank you all for going along with that journey. I hope you all aren't members of the NRA now because of it because I apparently have a lifetime membership thanks to some whatever. But we passed California's first comprehensive Ghosts Gun Band, created a robust gun violence restraining order program, and ensured that our taxpayer dollars will not be spent on firearms and ammunition to pad the pockets of those who disregard state and federal gun violence prevention laws. Thank you for your final vote on that today, colleagues. We championed affordable housing, creating more affordable homes in D2 than ever before, including entitling 125 homes for low income seniors, which we just did today, again, the last vote on that. So thank you again for your support. We opened a new park, Francisco Park, that I worked on since I was in A to McKayla, Alioto Pier, that was just amazing to be able to do that, we upheld fiscal responsibility, rejected wasteful spending, and demanded accountability at every level from department heads to nonprofits, you know, with the creation of Admin Code 21G and nonprofit accountability legislation that included the nonprofits in that conversation. We demanded more answers on the addiction crisis and gave a voice to those in recovery like never before. We stood up to women protecting plant parenthood, expanding paid leave, and guaranteeing free legal services for domestic violence victims, while also creating the office of victim and witness rights. We responded to tragedy with hope and unrelenting advocacy when grandpa Viccia was killed by marching in the streets to protest the rise and hate crimes against our Asian community. And when we lost a nine-year-old in our community, we did everything we could to get behind Pierce's Pledge and educate people on the danger of guns and custody battles. But beyond the policies, the debates, and the long nights in this chamber, it is the people who have inspired me most. My neighbors, all of you, my colleagues, and the San Francisco's who share a fierce love for this city. Your energy and ideas have been the driving force behind everything we've accomplished. I am proud of the progress we've made, but I know the work is far from over as I prepared to step into a new role serving our state. I am filled with hope for San Francisco's future. This city has always been a beacon of hope, resilience, and possibility. And I look forward to partnering with you all on the state level, especially you three right here. So thank you so much for your support. And Cole Valley, I'll get to you. So I just want to say too, for all your kind words, I really do love you all and will carry you all in my heart forever. It's like I don't even know where to start. I said, I'm not going to say something individually about all of you, but then you all said such nice things. And I just want to say President Peskin, you and I've been friends for a long time. And I thank you for your friendship, your advice, swimming with me in the bay, even though you make fun of me for wearing a wet suit. And for your tenacity, and also I admire your courage to change and you know I'm always there for you and I admire your ability to pivot in a way that was really good for yourself your family friends and for this city and so thank you for everything you've done. Supervisor Mandelman you're right everyone said we would never get along. And you've become one of my dear friends. We will be friends for life. You're stuck with me. I just, even though you do come in and get me wound up and you drive my staff crazy, you've been there for me on so many issues. And I'm so happy that we will always be together in friendship. Supervisor Ronan, I mean, I'll never forget when Roma guys said, you need to meet Hillary. You guys are so much alike. You need to go out to lunch and we did and we became friends as AIDS. And when you had those two young men here from the, I remember going to court with you and I was the aide who convinced Supervisor Farrell at the time, you know, to invest in that after that experience with you and I was the aide who convinced Supervisor Farrell at the time to invest in that after that experience with you. And I know you and I've had our rocky moments but it compares to nothing of the friendship and the love that we do have for each other. And I thank you for coming together on the Office of Victim and Witness Rights and doing such profound and important work and continuing to be my friend even though we did have our bumps along the way. But again, we just passionate about things and I love you. Who am I gonna sit next to in the assembly that is gonna like pull on my hair and like to talk on my ear and make me laugh when I shouldn't laugh. But supporting me from the beginning, you obviously right out of the gate were there for me, especially at a rough time on this board. And I thank you for your friendship always making me laugh, always being there for me. I will never forget these moments together. They've been precious and fun. And I'll have to tell you about whoever I get as a seatmate but they won't compare to you. I'm quite sure. Supervisor Dorsey, I just want to say to you to your courage in sharing your story of recovery with all of us and with the world. I'm sure has changed so many lives and you help erase the stigma of addiction. You are brave to share your story with everyone and your advocacy. We know where it comes from. A personal lived experience. And until you have the frightening pain of addiction in your life, it's really hard to understand what that passion can look like and how fierce it can be. And I encourage you to continue standing up for those that need help that are addicted to whatever substance it may be. And thank you for your friendship and guidance into all the laughs. Joel, thank you for bringing the joy. With your Halloween costume, I'll never get over that joy shirt. And I will never forget our night at the Japanese Consulate. Involving a tea ceremony and a lot of laughs and a lot of food and just keep on working on the things that your constituents care about. I know the night markets are such joy and success out there. And thank you for your friendship and the dinners, getting to know each other outside of this building has been wonderful. And Supervisor Melgar, I just love you so much. I just, I can't say enough good things about you. We are AIDS together. You've been there for me on personal issues. You are constantly keeping me calm. You know, when I have to take a hard vote or we're taking hard votes together, I appreciate just that steadfast friendship and support and our laughter together too about some of the things we've had to go through together. So thank you for your support. And Supervisor Chan, I know that, you know, this last go around these past months have been rocky, but I just have to say, I had loved being a legislative aide with you. And there have been some really good times, you know, together and congratulations. And I know you're gonna serve the people of Richmond and District One well. I'm really looking forward to working with you and delivering for your district and partnering with you on all the things that your constituents need, or now my constituents as well. So thank you for your friendship and all the good times ahead because I know we're gonna be working collaboratively like I never before. And to Supervisor Preston, I know that people have us like this on those charts, but when we were sitting next to one another and we were talking about things at the GAO committee, nobody really saw that type of friendship and collaboration and the ability for us to even like one time I got snippy with you and how we just apologized, I apologized very quickly and you were like don't worry about it. And just that ability, just to have moments of just being human and getting frustrated in this building, but yet coming together again, on the things that we work for. I admire your passion too. Always, you know, we might not always see the same solutions, but again, like I've said before, we all care so deeply about people, and we want the best for them and I admire that. And Supervisor Walton, thank you for always being someone that I could go to with no fear whatsoever to say, I don't agree with you on this and you're like, don't worry about it. Or, you know, I always was able to explain to you, and it wasn't that many times, where I might be coming from, you know, and the work we did together, just even walking that warm water cove with you, talking with Maddie Scott and the possibilities of bringing something to those that have suffered from gun violence. You know, there are so many things that we have worked on together when the billboards went up. And you and I were the two supervisors that called out that, and I just, I appreciate your collaboration on so many things. I appreciate your passion. I appreciate your comedy. I did watch a little bit of that. And I just appreciate the diversity that you bring in terms of. You won't be labeled. You'll write a book. You'll go do comedy, you'll get in here and you'll do passion. I mean you'll do, you'll legislate so passionately and I just, I admire that about you and I really look forward to working with you in the future and know we will stay friends forever. All of you, whether you like it or not, we'll stay my friend forever. I also want to thank Mayor Breedon, her staff, especially my friend Tom Paulino over there. Oh my gosh, how much fun have we had? I've had to look away sometimes. We won't get into that. And the clerk's office, Angela Calvillo. Oh my goodness, I love you so much. We met as legislative aides again when you were Tom Amiano's aide. You have just been a star running the clerk's office. I can't thank you enough for everything that you've done. Again, for being there for us during tough times. For everyone on the staff has just been amazing. I have to say a special shout out to John C for never judging me these last 17 years when I'd say I can't get my computer to work. He'd come in and press a button and he'd say you just turn it on. And he's just so wonderful. I'm going to miss him in SFGov TV. The County Clerk's Office, thank you for two most memorable years of my life that were apps just indelible in Jennifer Johnston who I reported to at the City Administrators Office. The deputy sheriff's who keep us safe. The janitors we see every night who keep this building clean and that we build relationships with. They're just so amazing. All the department heads, our chief Scott, chief Nicholson, all the district captains, D.H. Jenkins, Sheriff Miamoto, David Chiu and Dennis Herrera and all the incredible Deputy City attorneys Brad and John Givner. We've all just had the best Deputy City attorneys to work with. Mary Ellen Carroll, Kimberly Ellis, Maria Sue, Ivy Lee, Trent Roer, Carmen Xu, Katie Teng, and Topey Aide. These are all people that I've worked with so much that I can't say enough good things about mentors like Martha Ryan, Catherine Dodd, Roma Guy, and Malia Cohen, who was my mentor and emerged, who always tells me to soar with the eagles. And there's something else to that phrase, but I'm forgetting. And then former legislative aids that I've worked with, Boris Delepine, who has always had my back, a dear friend of mine, Bo Hayward, Davi Neola, Camille Blackstone, Olivia Scamlin, Rebecca Crayle, Bill Bards, and Sonny and Gulo. I'm sure I'm forgetting people I'm gonna beat myself up forever for doing that, but these are people that have always been there for me. And so many organizations we've worked with, Mom's Demand Action, Brady Campaign, the San Francisco Domestic Violence Consortium, United Players, the Italian community. Thank you for making that part of my job extra fun. And of course, for President Peskin for a so-ment collaboration on lifting up the Italian community. To my constituents, thank you for trusting me to be your voice. There are so many people, as I was campaigning, that said, I don't want you to leave. And I said, don't worry, I'm not changing my cell phone number, and I'm not going too far away. I will still be representing you. And it's nice thing to hear from your constituents. There's so many neighborhood organizations. I won't get into them all, but so many neighbors I worked with that led these organizations. And we had our quarterly meetings and they just gave so much to their community. I'm so grateful. I'm wrapping up so don't worry. My family, especially my children, I think, Supervisor Safaiy nailed it in terms of me trying to be a good example for them, showing that women can work and work outside the home and because women inside the home are working just as hard. But we can juggle many different things and still show up for them. And I can't thank them enough for allowing me to do this job. And they're just my inspiration and will continue to be. And finally, I just want wanna say the dream team, all the interns that have worked for me and the people I've appointed to positions and advisory boards, thank you for your service, my legislative aids. We know how hard it is to be at legislative aids, some of us in this room. As Diana, Ellie, Sharon, Jack, Wyatt, Daniel, Andy, Sam, Frankie, Emily, and the final four. Dominica, Sam, Frankie Emily, and the final four. Dominica Sam Lorenzo and Mick. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I love you guys, like family. I'm going to miss you so much. You are so incredibly ethical and kind and supportive. And I cannot believe I've been so lucky to have such incredible legislative aids. I'm going to miss you. I wish I could take you all the Sacramento with me but the salaries are not good and you all know it. And I just and I forgot to mention Lorenzo on 33, 33, California and I just I you know he did so much on that and I wanted to thank you and call you out for that Lorenzo But I would thank you you know I'm just a phone call away if anyone's looking to hire them and is having a second thoughts Don't because they're amazing you'd be lucky to have them Just thank you for being my friends for being there for me in the hard times I don't think anyone knows But you all what a hard. This has really been for me personally, and I can't thank you enough for being my backbone in times of really hard, stressful moments. And to everyone who loves the city as much as I do, know that I will continue to champion our shared values at every opportunity to everyone this is not goodbye, only a new chapter in my commitment to you. And I want to just again thank you all. Let's keep working together to build a brighter future for every resident of this extraordinary city.
