[Rafael Mandelman]: Thank you, Madam Clerk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramutush Ohlone, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the indigenous stewards of this land, and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramatush Ohlone have never ceded, lost, nor forgotten their responsibilities as the caretakers of this place, as well as for all peoples who reside in their traditional territory. As guests, we recognize that we benefit from living and working on their traditional homeland. We wish to pay our respects by acknowledging the ancestors, elders, and relatives of the Ramitush Ohlone community, and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples. Colleagues, will you join me in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. On behalf of the board, I want to acknowledge the staff at SFGov TV. Today, that is especially Kalina Mendoza. They record each of our meetings and make our transcripts available to the public online. And with that, Madam Clerk, can you take us to our 2PM special order?

[Angela Calvillo]: Yes, the 2PM special order is the appearance by the Honorable Mayor, Daniel Lurie. He shall discuss eligible topics submitted from eligible districts. The mayor may address the board initially for up to five minutes.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Welcome, Mr. Mayor. Do you have any opening remarks?

[Mayor Daniel Lurie]: Good afternoon, Board President Mandelman and members of the board. As we come to the close of this final board of supervisors session of the year, we also mark nearly one full year of working side by side in service to this city that I know we all love. Moments like this invite reflection and gratitude. I wanna thank each of you for your dedication to the people of San Francisco and your willingness to work together. Because of the collaboration we have seen this past year, San Francisco is a city on the rise. Today, 62% of San Franciscans feel that way compared to just 28% last year. That confidence is earned through our shared commitment to results and to making city government work better for the people that we serve. Board president mandelman, from my first day in office, you have set the tone for this body and for the strong collaboration across supervisors and departments. Thank you for working together to make it easier for small businesses and restaurants by eliminating permits and fees for simply placing tables and chairs on the sidewalk. I look forward to continuing our work to reform the charter and make it more effective and accountable to our residents. I am also deeply grateful for the advice and counsel you have generously shared with me since my first day in office. Supervisor Chan, we worked together collaboratively collaboratively to put forward a balanced budget that focused on core services and set our city up for success. I appreciate you, and thank you for your partnership. Supervisor Sherrill, we've worked together to help our small businesses. You have been a champion in providing resources to help our small businesses thrive through permit SF, specifically entertainment permits and first year free. Thank you, supervisor Sherrill. Supervisor Sauter, you and I both understand that public safety is key to our comeback. The sideshow legislation you put forward will help keep our communities safe by raising the fines for these dangerous sideshows to be in line with our neighboring counties. Thank you for your leadership on that, supervisor Sauter. Supervisor Wong, in your first week in office, you started working to represent the people of the Sunset And Parkside with pride. For day 300 of permit SF, you partnered with my office to introduce legislation that will modernize our outdated street tree permitting process and, in turn, save residents time and money. Thank you, supervisor Wong. Supervisor Mahmood, thank you for your partnership in securing 3,400,000 in philanthropic funding for immigrant legal defense. The funds helped our public defenders immigration defense unit and ensures that San Franciscans and San Francisco stands up for our values. Thank you, supervisor Mahmood. Supervisor Dorsey, through our partnership, we have opened over 500 treatment beds and recovery beds in San Francisco, and I'm proud to have worked together with you to make San Francisco a recovery first city. Thank you, supervisor. Supervisor Melgar, last week, alongside you and many in this room, I signed the family zoning plan. That would not have happened or been possible without your diligent work chairing the land use committee. That include long hearings and multiple amendments. You help make the legislation stronger. Thank you, supervisor Melgar. Supervisor Fielder, when the federal government was prepared to let families in San Francisco go without food, we worked together to provide emergency funding for SNAP recipients. Thank you, supervisor Fielder. Supervisor Walton, thank you for your leadership in delivering the gateway project at 749 Tollen Street in the heart of the Bayview Hunters Point Industrial Court. This project will help San Francisco create great jobs, good jobs while delivering meaningful community benefits. Thank you, supervisor Walton. And supervisor Chen, thank you for your work on the tenant protect protection ordinance, which has earned the cosponsorship of every single member of this board. I look forward to signing it and working with your office to ensure our city can build housing and continue to protect tenants. As we look ahead to the coming year, I am confident in what we can accomplish together. The challenges facing San Francisco are real, but so is the progress we've made and so is the strength of this partnership. If we continue to lead with collaboration, focus on results, and keep our eyes on the people that we serve, there is no doubt that our best days are still ahead of us. I wanna thank all 11 of you for your service and for your commitment to moving San Francisco forward. Let's go.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Thank you, Mr. Mayor. Madam clerk, could you please call the topic for District 5?

[Angela Calvillo]: Yes. The District 5 topic from Supervisor Mahmood is the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Supervisor Mahmood, please ask your opening question.

[Bilal Mahmood]: Thank you, President. Earlier this year, the Board voted to give the mayor greater power to address the fentanyl crisis quickly and avoid bureaucratic delays? Mayor, what specific resources, tools, and contracts have been used under the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance to address the fentanyl crisis in this last year?

[Mayor Daniel Lurie]: Thank you for your question, supervisor Mahmood, and for your support of this fentanyl state of emergency ordinance. Since its passage, we have moved quickly to unlock resources and deploy new tools to get fentanyl off our streets and keep San Franciscans safe. The ordinance accelerated the implementation of critical initiatives, unlocking funding, expedited hiring and contracting, and enabled the rapid expansion of treatment capacity. It also supported new behavioral health initiatives and accelerated hiring of key public safety staff. As a result, the ordinance enabled HSH to execute 31 contracts and one lease ex and expediting the launch of new services. These include 219 new interim housing beds, 60 of them recovery focused, and 594 new scattered site housing slots and expanded support for the city's large vehicle strategy. MOHCD has also used the authority provided by the ordinance to advance five critical permanent supportive housing projects. DPH has similarly leveraged the ordinance to quickly stand up new behavioral health programs. The department utilized the ordinance contracting provisions five times including rapidly open opening approximately a 150 new mental health and substance use treatment and recovery beds. DEM and HSA worked together to expedite grants under this ordinance that continued essential community safety ambassador programs, supporting critical neighborhoods, including the Tenderloin, Mid Market, and the Mission. Finally my office of innovation in partnership with sfpd use the ordinance to bring on pro bono consultant through the civic bridge program to support accelerated police hiring. These actions demonstrate the fentanyl state of emergency ordinance is delivering real immediate results moving faster than our traditional systems allow expanding care and housing and strengthening public safety. It has given the city the flexibility it needed to respond to a crisis with urgency, coordination, and accountability and it continues to be a critical tool in our efforts to save lives and restore safety to our streets. Thank you for the question.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Thank you, Mayor Lurie. Supervisor Mahmood, you may now ask a follow-up question directly related to the opening question.

[Bilal Mahmood]: Thank you, Mayor, and appreciate the focus on the metrics and the impact over the last year. Next question and follow-up is about larger revisions to strategy. Part of the emergency order was also about finding new approaches to tackle the fentanyl crisis in a holistic different way. One such approach that the Board of Supervisors supported via a majority of us on a resolution was around a drug market intervention strategy, which has successfully ended opioid markets across The United States. I wanted to ask you today whether you would add your name to support on a drug market intervention approach to put it into practice after the board has endorsed the plan as well.

[Mayor Daniel Lurie]: Yes, I will. I look forward to working with you, supervisor Mahmood, you, supervisor Dorsey, and all of the others at the board to tackle this crisis in the tenderloin, in SOMA, and wherever else it demands our attention. Appreciate your leadership on this issue.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Thank you, Mayor.

[Mayor Daniel Lurie]: Thank you.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right. Mr. Mayor, I believe that you may let's see. Where's my prompt? You may ask a Have

[Rafael Mandelman]: And I believe we're going to start today with District nine, Supervisor Fielder.

[Jackie Fielder]: Thank you. And I'm going to ask Cameo House to please come up to the podium. Colleagues, I am thrilled to present this commendation for Cameo House, one of the few direct service programs run by the Center on Juvenile and Criminal Justice. Cameo House was founded in 1998 and today provides an essential alternative sentencing and transitional housing program for justice involved mothers through a unique partnership run by CJCJ that is predominantly funded by the San Francisco Sheriff's Office. Cameo House is a charming three story Edwardian home built in 1911 located at 424 Guerrero Street. As it happens, last night, there was an explosion at the gas station immediately adjacent to the home. Thankfully, all of the women, children, and staff on the site are okay, and their emergency evacuation protocols were swift and commendable. Today, in addition to being here to accept this commendation, staff are working to ensure the families' lives aren't negatively impacted as they still have court and other justice mandates to meet, along with family reunification visits and other scheduled events that they need to continue as planned. Cameo House, at its core, is a supportive, safe, and comfortable space. Residents receive mental and physical health services, substance use treatment, parenting and life skills training, assistance navigating justice and social service systems, vocational and educational support, housing transition planning, and opportunities for community and civic engagement. This transformative program is one of a kind, offering a residential alternative to incarceration where participants can live with their children while receiving comprehensive support services. With a focus on gender responsiveness and a commitment to creating a safe, nurturing environment, Cameo House empowers women to rebuild their lives and foster stronger family ponds. Since its inception, the program has been a beacon of hope, helping participants navigate challenges of reintegration and thrive as valuable community members. The home accommodates 11 women and up to 24 children at any given time, providing each family unit with their own private bathrooms and bedrooms. I want to paint a picture of this home. This space is warm, welcoming, bright, and loving, with private accommodations and communal space for family play, child development, and community building. There's a cozy living room, two dining rooms, three large full kitchens, two laundry rooms, two infant and toddler playrooms with toys and books, and an older children's room full of books with a pool table, foosball, and board games. Out back, an enclosed yard features play structures for the kids and spaces for adults to relax and connect. The house hosts communal meals, group gatherings, birthday celebrations, and family events to nurture community and uplift families. In fiscal year 2425, Cameo House served 22 women and 44 children with 20 kids living on-site with their moms. Program outcomes demonstrate strong and lasting impact. Eighty one percent of program participants program exits transition into permanent stable housing. Sixty three percent of participants reduced their substance use. Eighty eight percent of participants did not reoffend, underscoring the effectiveness of community based alternatives to incarceration. These outcomes reflect the power of providing stability, dignity, and opportunity, not only transforming individual lives but strengthening families and a broader community. Thank you so much to Cameo House staff, current and former residents who have persevered through this program, and to CJCJ for your vision and determination in creating and sustaining such a model program. Congratulations, and please go ahead. Thank you.

[Cameo House representative]: Thank you. Good afternoon. Thank you, president Mandelman and board board of supervisor members. This is my first time ever doing this, so I'm a little nervous. So bear with me. Thank you for this accommodation and for recognizing Cameo. Thank you, Jackie Fielder and Jen Forigno for reaching out, coming to see our home, becoming part of our home, and offering your support. We really appreciate you. And, Jen, it was a pleasure having you in our home. Cameo House was created to ensure that justice involved women are not separated from their families while they're working to rebuild their lives. For the families we we serve, this program offers stability, dignity, and a safe place to heal and reunify with their children, and a real second chance. Every day we witness the powerful transformations, mothers reuniting with their children, securing employment, returning to school, and transitioning to permanent housing. But beyond these outcomes, we see something just as important, children waking up in a safe home with their mothers and families together. In light of the explosion that occurred last night, it served as a stark reminder of how unpredictable life can be. Thanks to the quick thinking and the calm responses of Cameo staff, Myrna and Daisy, all the women and children were safely evacuated. We are also deeply grateful for our contractor, Marty, who remained on-site throughout the entire event. He was stuck on the roof. But he went into quick action. He ensured that all the systems were properly shut off and confirmed that everyone was safely out of the building. Their actions helped prevent further harm and kept everyone safe. We also want to acknowledge the CJCJ's entire agency for picking in immediately and helping secure shelter and accommodations for all the families. This recognition affirms San Francisco commitment to compassion, accountability, and community based solutions that truly works. It's the dedication of our Cameo staff, the strength of our Cameo residents, and the partnerships such as San Francisco Sheriff's Office, the Women's Resource Center, the Women's Housing Coalition, Positive Direction Sisters Circle, and many, many more community partners. In fact, we had a property manager step up and offer three vacant apartments for our women. They stay there until we can get them into a shelter where they can have beds and stuff. All of this collaboration makes this possible. It makes it work. It is vital that this resource remains in this community remains remains in this community. Sorry. I want to say thank you for honoring Cameo House and for your continued investment in keeping families together. We are deeply grateful. Thank you.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right. I note that we have been joined also by our former board president, Norman Yee, who I think is here for our next special commendation, District seven Supervisor Melgar.

[Myrna Melgar]: Thank you, President. Colleagues, I am honoring today on behalf of the Board of Supervisors, Doctor. Patricia Sullivan, known to most of us as Pat. Doctor. Sullivan was a scholar, educator, advocate who passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. I really wish we had had the opportunity to honor her when she was still with us. Today we are joined by her family, friends, colleagues, mentees, and community members, everyone who was touched by her compassion, her fierce advocacy, and lifelong commitment to San Francisco's children and family. So if you're here for Pat, if you could stand up please, just thank you. This is Pat's community, so thank you. Doctor. Sullivan Pat was born in Detroit, Michigan, to Jean Sullivan, an army radio man, and Akaleen Sullivan, an art student at the time. When Pat was a child, her parents with her oldest sister Kathleen, a younger brother Michael, moved to LA, where both parents could pursue their careers. But, in LA, a national tragedy struck, which redirected the young family. Her parents were already involved politically. Her father attended Black Panther meetings. Pat's mother worked for Bobby Kennedy during his presidential run-in 1968, and was in the ballroom of the Ambassador Hotel the night he was assassinated. The FBI, thinking Akeling might have been a witness, decided to move the family to safety. And when asked where they wanted to go, Jean and Akeling said, San Francisco. What they didn't tell the FBI was that they thought the revolution was going to start in San Francisco. And they wanted to be right there in the center of things. So from the very beginning, Pat had roots as a fighter for justice. In San Francisco, Pat attended AP Giannini Junior High School, Washington High School, City College, and San Francisco State University. She had several jobs after school, leaving school, back up as a singer in a band, as a bartender, as a fast food manager. But it was when she worked with children at the YMCA near Japantown, at the Buchanan YMCA, that she found her calling. Pat decided to start her own daycare center, Baby Steps Family Child Care. By the time Pat had her own son, Matthew, and she dedicated the rest of her life to serving the children, students, and parents of San Francisco, it was not enough to run baby steps. Pat also decided to return to San Francisco State to learn more about the field she had entered earning a bachelor's degree, then a master's, and then finally her doctorate of education specializing in early child development. Pat brought a deep understanding of community, of equity, of belonging to her research and practice. Her dissertation, A Trail of Breadcrumbs, Black Early Childhood Education, Student Success in Higher Education, reflected on her lifelong committing to advancing educational opportunity and equity. Her dissertation research examined the experiences and strategies of successful black early childhood education students at San Francisco State, highlighting the resilience, hindsight, and agency of students who persisted in higher education, despite all the systemic barriers, framing her analysis through the lenses of student retention, microaggression, stereotype threat, offering a student centered perspective that emphasized success rather than attrition. Her findings continue to inform approaches to improving degree completion and equity for black students in early childhood education and beyond. Pat received a fellowship from the David and Lucille Packard Foundation to study early childhood teacher credentialing. After earning her doctorate, Pat taught in the early childhood education programs, both at San Francisco State and City College. Her teaching drew deeply from her years as a family child care provider and owner of Baby Steps Family Child Care, where she mentored generations of early educators. She was also a published author, whose scholarship and teacher research appeared in Voices for Practitioners and other professional publications. Her most recent chapter appears in a book edited by Daniel Meyer, extending her lifelong commitment to elevating the voices and wisdom of early childhood educators. Pat was known for her leadership as a director of the Family Child Care Association of San Francisco, former board president of the Family Child Care Association of San Francisco, and as a co chair of early care educators. She was also appointed to represent family child care providers on the Oversight and Advisory Committee for Early Education, where I served with her. Throughout her career, Doctor. Sullivan served as a bridge between higher education and the family child care community, working tirelessly to improve systems for children, families, and educators across California. Pat was a beloved colleague, a mentor, a mother, a sister, an auntie, a friend who brought warmth, humor, and an unwavering sense of justice to every space she entered. Her life's work continues to guide our collective efforts to support, honor, and learn from the practitioners who make early childhood education a force for equality, for care, and for the future. Pat is survived by her son Matthew, Sister Kathleen and her family, her brother Michael and his family, and by hundreds, hundreds of children and teachers she inspired throughout her work and love. I just want to acknowledge all of the incredible early care educators and advocates who are here in the chamber today, including my predecessor, former president Norman Yee. Please stand up. Well, her legacy lives through all of you, and the work she let for better working conditions, for early care educators, and for historic investments by family child care providers and for black families in our city. And throughout through the president, Before we have other supervisors speak, I was wondering if we could hear from former president and former district seven supervisor Norman Yee, who knew Pat for most of her life. If you could come up President Yee, I would appreciate it. The floor is yours.

[Norman Yee]: Thank you, Supervisor Melgar. And it's been a little while since I've been in this chamber. President Mandelman and Supervisor Walton, my former colleagues, nice seeing you here. The rest of you, you're all new. But glad to see you here, serving your city. It took something for me to come back here. I mean and the person that we're honoring today is what it took. It's, I'm gonna be repeating a lot of things that supervisor Melgar has said, but I think it's worth repeating the impact that she had with all the different people in San Francisco. So, you know, every generation or so, San Francisco is blessed with somebody special. And Pat, excuse me, Doctor. Patricia Sullivan is one of these individuals. She is one of these individuals. And anybody's had the honor of meeting her will understand what I'm talking about. She came to us by way of Detroit and was raised as a teen in the city. She even went to APG and Eddy and graduated from Washington High School, real local. She loved the city. She loved its children. She loved its families. She dedicated her entire life to give hundreds, if not thousands, of young children to start in life that every child should receive. She did this through not only the thirty plus years of operating her own family child care homes. She could be walking down the street and get the same love to a stranger. She could be at a playground and get the same love to a child saying, no, no. That's not how you talk to people. So, she's always educating. And, that's something that basically the impact that she has had on children and families will last forever. She while, you know, for most people that's enough, having to operate your own family childcare home. Day in and day out, little all ones, I well, she had not only six, but 12 or 14 of them running around, that's exhausting. But while she was operating in her family childcare home, she also did go back to school, got her PhD, and started teaching as a professor at San Francisco State and and at City College. So, she's very unique in that way. Most people would just dedicate their lives to one age bracket. And here she's not only working with the young ones, but she's training the next generations of early educators to make sure that they have the same inspiration that she has for children, the same love that she has for children, the same way of inspiring children. And that's what she was about. She really did sacrifice herself. I mean, it was interesting to listen to her family and other friends talk about her earlier, right before the session, and saying, her sister couldn't meet with her because she's too busy on the phone talking to people and guiding them and so forth. And so, for her, it wasn't an eight hour job. It was a 20 fourseven. She was always on. If you need help, she's there. So somehow between running her own family childcare home and teaching adults, she managed to still volunteer for a bunch of other things. So, one of them being that she became the head of the Family Child Care Association, which is a full time job in itself. So, I don't know how she did it. I mean, it was like three full time jobs and she's juggling it and so forth. And, she did it for what, about seven, eight years in association. And she just never slowed down. That's the type of person she is. That's the type of person I like to that's the type of person is why I come here, to speak up about her. The love that she has and is given back by other people here in the room is something that you just don't see with many of our people in San Francisco. So, you know, for some of you that don't know what is the Family Child Care Association, you might think, oh, wow, you know, there's this 20 homes that they try to coordinate. Well, no. She was coordinating the efforts of six thirty plus family childcare homes that were active. There were some, a lot more that were inactive, but six thirty of them were active with different issues. And she heard them all. And she was able to represent them in a room with other committees that she sit in, she sat in. So and it was important for her, tired or not, that she gets to that room and represent the community that she loves. And it's been and and then I think that's the one motivator for her. As I heard earlier, and I know this about her, she's gotta be in that room. If not her, then who? So this is something I hope that you will remember about her. She's loved by all of us. She's she's still in our presence today. That's who she is. I mean, we all think about her. We and if I have an issue that I can't figure out, I said, I would ask the question, well, what would Pat do? And usually, I could get some kind of answer. So I wanna say that she's, she was a giant in her support for children, families, and early educators. And like I said, she's still in our presence. And I really want to thank the board for honoring her to see for her family and her friends to see this happen. I know it should have been done many, many years ago, but it's better late than never. So thank you very much.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Supervisor Wong.

[Alan Wong]: Thank you. I got to know Doctor. Sullivan over the past two or so years when I was working as the policy director at Children's Council of San Francisco. I had the opportunity of working for a net along with a coalition of advocacy groups supporting ECE. And there are a number of things that we work together on, including coming to City Hall, pushing the Board of Supervisors on ECE issues, putting together a EC policy retreat to bring together the child care community. And she was also a City College faculty member and very passionate about her work. She stepped up to join the Chancellor Selection Recommendation Committee at City College and helped be one of my appointees to help guide us through that process. And I remember one the last things that she said to me was that I love City College. I really love that place. And those are words that stuck to me and one the last things that she said to me when I last saw her. And her passing is a tremendous loss to our city and everyone who cares about ECE. In her work at FCCASF, I got to know about her work current day and how she worked with all the community to put up a voice for her community. And also reading President Yee's book, I learned about the past history, about how they've got a long history of advocacy in the past and how she stepped up to the mantle for that current day. For me, I think that this is a reminder of one of the reasons why I'm here to be able to advocate for education for youth. That's something that when I think of her, that I will continue to commit myself to doing. One other note I want to mention is I got to visit her home. She also serves the community of childcare and also got to know Sofia Land there. And just seeing how she works with the children and her love for her work, her passion for her profession, the people that she cares for. It's so uplifting to see somebody that is out there advocating, supporting, serving the community. And we're grateful for her life and the impact that she has made on our city. And our thoughts are with her loved ones. And her legacy will continue to inspire all of us. Thank you.

[Myrna Melgar]: Thank you. We are now joined by Doctor. Sullivan's family. Please accept this special commendation on behalf of your family posthumanly. You have our deepest regrets and condolences, and also love and admiration for Doctor. Sullivan. So if you wanted to say a few words, now is the time.

[Family member of Dr. Patricia Sullivan]: Well, want to thank you all so much for acknowledging Pat's lifetime of work and commitment to the families, children, teachers, all educators of the city of San Francisco. She passionately loved the city, and felt like, as we were saying, our family moved here because we thought this was where the revolution was gonna start and we wanted to be at the epicenter. So we were raised to be revolutionaries, and so Pat's life is an example of how much everyone can be an activist, and she raised the children to always know that the city, the country, the world, this is their place. They have a place in this, and what happens here is decided by them. And that's what baby steps really was, and I hope that she got that across to all of her students, and all of the teachers that she worked with. And thank you very much.

[Rafael Mandelman]: District ten supervisor walton.

[Shamann Walton]: Thank you so much president mandelman colleagues today I am proud to recognize the Bayview United girls soccer team. If we can get you to to come up and stand, This exceptional group of young athletes whose success reflects both athletic excellence and the power of equity and action. Founded in 2019 and operated by the San Francisco recreation and park department, Bay United is San Francisco's first primarily black youth soccer program providing a high quality soccer experience for youth in Bayview Hunters Point. By removing financial and access barriers, the program has expanded opportunities for nearly 50 young athletes to participate in the world's game with pride and purpose. This season, the sixth grade girls team captured the San Francisco youth soccer premier division championship with a four two title win. An extraordinary achievement made even more impressive by the fact that the team is made up largely of fourth graders along with a few fifth graders and even one third grader. Their success speaks not only to skill and determination, but to teamwork, resilience, and community support. Practicing and playing at Youngblood Coleman Playground and representing Bayview on fields across the city. These young athletes carry their neighborhood with them every single time they compete. We also recognize the coaches, families, and mentors who have built a program rooted in fun, development, and neighborhood pride. Bayview United is more than a soccer team. It is an investment in health, leadership, and opportunity for youth, and a model for how inclusive community center programs can help young people thrive. Congratulations to the Bayview United sixth grade girls soccer team on its outstanding accomplishment. Please join me in applauding their hard work and success. And I know we have coach Fulton Mitchell. We call him fully. Chris Keene and I know Lamont Bishop is here from Brecken Park. I don't know who's speaking, but have at it.

[San Francisco Recreation and Park representative]: Good afternoon, supervisor Walton, to the entire board of supervisors. Thank you for having us, and thank you for recognizing this dynamic team. I won't speak long because I definitely wanna have coach Fulton come up and talk about these kids and also talk about these families who have supported these kids. But I do want to say often when we come here it is important for us to quantify the work that we do. And I would just ask that you would just pause for a moment and qualify the work that we do in the faces of these young children that we serve all over San Francisco. So without further ado, I'd like to bring up coach Mitchell, and I'd also like to invite all of the parents to come up and celebrate with us during this time. Please. Thank you, sir.

[Fulton Mitchell]: This is an honor. We started the program, like you said, in 2019, and we barely had any kids. We started off with boys, and it was coed. Then we we had a lot of girls playing on our team, so we decided to change up and maybe switch up and add some girls. And in the beginning, it was like pulling teeth trying to get girls to come play. We started off for maybe four or five, and we were, like, begging kids to come play. Just to let you know, this year and the last season, we had a waiting list. So it just say tells you where we come from. Phil, our general manager, he had a vision, and he wanted to bring soccer to Bayview and have African American kids more exposed to soccer because the expense has just gotten outrageous, and we really you know, a lot of parents really just cannot afford it. So this is how we started this program. The last season last two seasons, these girls were undefeated. This season, they were four and two, but they were playing up just like he mentioned. They were mainly most of them are fourth graders with about three fifth graders and one third grader. So we have no sixth graders, and they won the sixth grade division. And you see all these parents right here? If you guys would have came out to that championship game, you would have thought that we were at the World Cup or something. I mean, we had probably about 200 people there just to watch these girls play, man. It was pretty amazing. I mean, with that said, it was it was a great season, and we look forward to continuing. Thank you guys, and we appreciate the honor.

[Connie Chan (Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center)]: My name, and I and I wanna say,

[Rafael Mandelman]: Alright. District five, supervisor Mahmood.

[Bilal Mahmood]: Colleagues, it is my honor today to recognize Adrian Williams. Anyone wanna come

[Alan Wong]: up? Adrian

[Bilal Mahmood]: is a visionary community leader and fierce advocate whose life's work has transformed the Fillmore and Western edition, inspiring generations across San Francisco. For nearly five decades, Adrian has poured her heart and her remarkable entrepreneurial expertise into uplifting youth and families. As founder and director of the Village Project, launched in 2006, she built one of our city's most beloved after school and summer enrichment programs. The village project offers a safe haven where children learn, explore, and discover pride in their heritage and culture while embracing the richness of cultures beyond their own. Adrian's leadership is rooted in a lifetime of breaking barriers. She was the first African American and the first woman to hold major executive sales and marketing roles at companies like American Can, Park Davis, Marion Laboratory, and Royal Business Machines. Before that, she helped desegregate Northeast State University in Monroe, Louisiana, a courageous act that foreshadowed a career defined by resilience and change making. A national achievement scholar with 17 academic scholarships and a Northwestern University alum, Adrienne has excelled in every endeavor she has taken on. Her entrepreneurial spirit is just as extraordinary. From owning an interior design and furniture dealership in Chicago, to running a copier sales and repair company in San Francisco, to leading her own catering business and consulting for Xerox, Adrian has always met challenges with vision and determination. The same quality she now pours into community programs that serve hundreds of San Franciscans. Her commitment extends far beyond daily programming. Adrian produces many major annual community events, including the seven day citywide Kwanzaa celebration, Mardi Gras San Francisco style, a senior moment, a senior prom, as well as Grillin' in the Mow, a family barbecue and blues concert. These community events served to strengthen cultural connection and joy throughout our neighborhoods. And throughout the Western Edition Wellness Coalition, which she co founded, she has created vital spaces to address trauma, promote healing, and empower families impacted by community violence. At the onset of the COVID nineteen pandemic, she launched a food pantry that continues to deliver groceries to more than 400 seniors and low income residents every month, serving as a reflection of her unwavering love for this community. Adrian's story is weaved together by courage and service. She continues nurturing the next generation with the same care and passion that defines her leadership. Adrian, thank you for your tireless advocacy and your unshakable commitment to our families and our future. Your efforts have strengthened not only the fabric of the Fillmore and Western edition, but the fabric of San Francisco as a whole. Thank you.

[Adrian Williams]: Thank you, sir. I am honored to be back in this chamber. It's been a while. I appreciate you, sir, for recognizing the work that I've done in the Fillmore. I am just excited to be here, and thank you very much for acknowledging all the work that I've done. I'm trying to retire, but it just seems like I could never get out of here. There's always something else to do. So I am honored to be in this chamber receiving this accommodation. Thank you, sir, very much.

[Rafael Mandelman]: District six supervisor Dorsey.

[Matt Dorsey]: Thank you president mandelman. Colleagues on the occasion of his well deserved retirement from city service today I' pleased to honor Bob Beck the director of the treasure island development authority or tied up Bob can you approach the lectern. Bob Bob is a city government veteran who has served the people of the city and county of San Francisco honorably and well for more than thirty years. He has lent his leadership skills and expertise to roles across many city departments making major contributions to projects that promise to be among San Francisco's most enduring and iconic city civic acts assets. Early in Bob's city career he worked on important projects like the Market Street reconstruction project in 1988, post Loma Prieta earthquake fire station inspections and the seismic retrofits of the Bill Graham Civic Auditorium and War Memorial Opera House. He then led a series of positions at our Public Utilities Commission and Department of Public Works. He worked as a design engineer, acting deputy director for operations, assistant to the director deputy director for engineering city engineer and even acting director of public works when the late mayor Ed Lee left that role to serve as city administrator. Bob later joined trans bay the trans bay joint powers authority as senior program manager helping to lead the design planning and early construction phases of the Trans Bay Transit Center. In 2012, Bob would take on a new challenge as director of TADA with the goal of implementing a once in a generation redevelopment project. He finalized the conveyance agreement with the navy and the trust exchange agreement with the state lands commission so the vision of a thriving inclusive residential neighborhood could finally take off. Under his leadership Taida has made an incredible progress to deliver on major transportation and utility infrastructure including new water storage reservoirs, a new electrical switchyard, a new ferry terminal, a PUC funded waste water treatment facility, and world class parks. Housing production is also well underway with 974 new residential units including 297 affordable units already constructed. But Bob does more than just deliver on projects and check the boxes we ask him to check. He is an active and engaged part of the Treasure Island community. Well known and widely appreciated for his accessibility, Bob works side by side with one Treasure Island and other community partners to understand the needs of residents. And when residents have needs on the island, Bob rushes in to fill them. He believes, as I do, in the power of what good government can accomplish to improve people's lives, to expand opportunities and access, and to fulfill the promise of inclusive urbanism for the twenty first century. Bob will be fondly missed as a colleague, thought partner, and visionary leader who cares deeply about San Franciscans. Not merely those who reside here today, but for generations of San Franciscans to come. Bob, I am deeply grateful for your trusted leadership and wise counsel. You have left an enviable and indelible legacy on our city in District 6 and elsewhere and especially for an emerging neighborhood I know you and I both love in Treasure Island and Yerba Buena Island. Thank you for your service and congratulations on your well earned retirement. Right now, we we do have Bob's family and many of his colleagues from Tide and the city administrator's office with us today and I know I've asked Bob to come up to the lectern but I do want to ask first if I could invite deputy city administrator Jennifer Johnston to say a few words and then we'll hear from Bob. And also supervisor Walton. And also a supervisor

[Norman Yee]: Should we Okay.

[Matt Dorsey]: I'll defer to the

[Rafael Mandelman]: Supervisor Walton. Okay.

[Shamann Walton]: So I'm trying to figure out what I can say about you that's appropriate in the chambers. But I I will say you've had an insurmountable task in in making the project at Treasure Island a reality. But long before my election to the board of education and eventually to the board of supervisors, I know that you would probably wake up about 04:30 in the morning and be on a basketball court by 6AM. And you did that for years and then go and deal with the politics of San Francisco and with the community that needed to see promises fulfilled. And even though you are a bully on the basketball court, you're a public servant that cares about the community you work in. And I just want to thank you so much for your service and for the way that you do your job because it's important and people recognize it and can see it that you're genuine about achieving success for the community that you serve. So, thank you for your service and for being an all around good person.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Now, Jennifer Johnson.

[Jennifer Johnston]: Thank you so much. Thank you, supervisors, for recognizing Bob on this day before his retirement. You are both very tough acts to follow, I will say, so I have to delete a lot of my talking points. But I am here on behalf of Carmen Chyanne who unfortunately could not be here. And I will I know I'm a poor substitute, I will do my best. And you've mentioned a lot of his accomplishments and his deep passion and dedication to serving the public, truly community focused serving the public. I'm also honored to be able to recognize such an exceptional public leader. I've worked for the city for over twenty two years, and I'm really hard pressed to think of anybody who's as committed and hardworking and dedicated and really, really focused on the community. So really quite remarkable. And Bob, his focus over the last thirty plus years has been focused on know, Supervisor Dorsey, who identified a number of his projects, very focused on infrastructure, really the foundations of the city, and to improve the lives of people who live in the city and who come and visit the city. And I have to say that over the last twelve years at Taida, he really has profoundly changed the island in very remarkable ways. You know, the state that it was when he got there versus now, I mean, he really has really helped shape it into an incredible on its successful path to a new city neighborhood that's really focused on the community. So I will also say that Bob is incredibly unflappable, unwavering, and unfazed by challenges. And there have been a myriad of challenges on Treasure Island in working with the countless challenges, obstacles, stakeholders, and partners on the island. It really is no exaggeration to say that Bob has overseen the management, planning, ownership, permitting, construction, entitlement, or disposition of land, assets, infrastructure, and also focusing on the community life. I know that we just had a conversation a few weeks ago about making sure that there's an adequate grocery store on the island and really kind of having that full kind of concept of life for people on the island. So with that, I say congratulations to Bob in your retirement. You absolutely deserve it. Doesn't mean I will not be calling you incessantly. And I apologize to your poor wife in advance. But I really don't know how we're going to move on without you and all of your encyclopedic knowledge of the agency and the history. And I will be calling you. So I appreciate it in advance. But I will also really miss you as a colleague and a friend and as a partner. And that's it. Just thank you. Thank you for everything you've done.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Thank you. Director Beck.

[Bob Beck]: Well, just wanted to say a few words of thanks to Jennifer, Supervisor Dorsey, Supervisor Walton. I wanted to acknowledge TADA's staff. We have a total of 13 staff. And they do amazing work. And are enormously productive in trying to move the programs of the island forward. Move the objectives of the city forward. I did start my career at Public Works. And I just wanted to acknowledge the history of Public Works and the staff of Public Works. That agency is so connected to the population of the city in so many ways. And starting there shaped my career and my outlook with everything that I've done since. Also on Treasure Island, we have a fantastic partner in One Treasure Island. For those that aren't familiar, it's a community based organization that's been part of the development program on Treasure Island since its inception. And they do tremendous work for the residents of the island, as well as our development partner in Treasure Island Community Development. You know, it's just fantastic to be part of a team with so many people that are focused on doing good things. And again, it's been a tremendous honor and a privilege to work for the city. And thank you for the recognition today.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Let's bring director I back into would the

[Stephen Sherrill]: be remiss if I didn't also recognize my family. My wife, her parents that are here today, and my brothers and my sister also came out for today. So I want to make sure I recognize them too.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right. Got one more. Lisa Liu. You may rise. Colleagues, for the next several minutes, we're going to be responsible for maintaining our own quorum. So if you see that we've gone down to seven to six, imagine that there is someone in the doorway keeping us, because that would be Lisa. It's bittersweet. Today is the last board meeting for one of our incredibly valuable and beloved legislative clerks, Lisa Lou, who is also our sergeant at arms today. She is retiring at the end of the month. She started with the Board of Supervisors almost eleven years ago, starting in the operations division in 2015, And, she was promoted to the legislative division in 2016. Every week, she intakes all the legislation we introduce, reads it, makes edits, and ensures that they're ready to move forward. She's coordinated our appeals, answered our questions, and done it all with professionalism and grace. If you've engaged with Lisa on legislative matters, you know she's one of the most patient clerks. She takes her time to guide and help us understand the reasoning behind the rules and how to navigate the process. And so, we wanted to take this moment to acknowledge Lisa and her exceptional public service to the city and county of San Francisco. We wish you all the best in your future adventures, and thank you for your dedication and hard work. The office of the clerk of the board will have a big hole to fill with your absence, but your retirement is well deserved. So congratulations and all the very best, Lisa. And, you may not are not allowed to speak yet, because Supervisor Chan is in the queue.

[Connie Chan]: Thank you, President Mandelman. Just want to thank you for all the good work that you have done. And, you know, I think when we submit, you know, resolutions for adoption without reference to committee, we're always trying to figure out if you're going

[Angela Calvillo]: to say,

[Connie Chan]: is this controversial or not? And can we just get through, get passed by you? But nothing get passed by you.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Lisa's You're like, reign of

[Connie Chan]: this is not controversial, you know. But also, just attention to detail. But I also just want to say how kind you've always been, and how gentle you really always are, even with all of us, and definitely myself included, just even during long nights, and making sure that we're taken care of, that we have water, and so many things that we do on this floor and at different times. It's just not a small task to handle between us and intense conversations, or, you know, keeping the meetings going and wow with the general public, and us coming in and out in the back as well. Just so much of people don't see and don't appreciate. When I say people, I don't mean just general public. I mean ourselves included at times, and who really see you there. And sometimes, just go through the door and didn't even think, you know, to turn back and count if we have a quorum on the floor. But you always make sure that we do. All which is to say is, while seemingly no one know the general public may not know your job description, but they should all know today that you really helped keep so much of it running. Thank you so much for your service.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Former President Walton.

[Shamann Walton]: Thank you so much, President Mandelman. And as a former president, I just want to say thank you so much for all the work that you do to make sure that we actually have functional meetings. A lot of things go into handling the business of this Board of Supervisors, and you have been an integral part of making sure that that has happened. So thank you for the support you have given my team over the years and really want to congratulate you on getting to your retirement and just say thank you so much.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Supervisor Chan.

[Chyanne Chen]: Thank you for present. As a new member of the board, I just want to also express my gratitude to all the support from you, to my team, and to my office. And thank you, and I wish you a wonderful retirement. And also, you know, enjoy the holiday.

[Lisa Lu]: Thank you.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Lisa Lu, the floor is yours.

[Lisa Lu]: Oh my gosh, you guys. I'm going to keep it short and sweet. Board President Mandelman, members of the board, Madam Clerk Angela Calvillo, Deputy Clerk Alisa Samira, and colleagues at the Clerk of the Board. Thank you for this commendation. I'm very honored to have served the Board and its members. I'm honored to have worked with such a great team of colleagues in our office, and I am so grateful and proud to have completed this chapter of my life with this city and county of San Francisco. Thank you for this honor. It's been a pleasure.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right. Lisa, come on into the well. And Madam Clerk, did you want to bring more of your team up

[Angela Calvillo]: Yes. In Those who are here in the chamber who are in the office of the Clerk of the Board, please take a photograph with Lisa Lou. 21.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right, madam clerk can you call our 3PM special order.

[Angela Calvillo]: Yes items 30 through 33 comprise the special order at 3PM item 30 is the public hearing of persons interested in the decision of public works dated 11/07/2025 to approve a tentative parcel map for a three lot vertical subdivision five residential and 10 commercial mixed use condominium project at 3333 Mission Street and 190 College Street Item 31 is the motion to approve the public works decision to approve the tentative parcel map. Item 33 is the item 31 is the motion that approves the public works decision. Item 32 is the motion to conditionally disapprove the decision. And Item 33 is the motion to direct the preparation of findings.

[Rafael Mandelman]: Thank you, Madam Clerk. So as our clerk indicated, we have an appeal on the tenant parcel map approval for the mixed use condominium project at 3333 Mission Street and 190 Collard Street Collard Street? And Supervisor Fielder, do you have any Thanks,

[Jackie Fielder]: President Mandelman. Colleagues, the parties have all agreed to continuance on this matter. I am now making a motion to continue this hearing and associated motions to the Board of Supervisors meeting on 02/03/2026.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right. So there's a motion to continue this these items to 02/03/2026, made by Supervisor Fielder, seconded by Supervisor Chen. Before we act on that motion, we have to take public comment on the continuances. This is not general public comment. This is just the motion to continue this hearing. Madam Clerk, can you please call for that?

[Angela Calvillo]: All right. If you're here in the chamber, and you were expecting to speak on 3333 Mission Street and 190 Collieridge Street appeal, please come forward. All right. Seeing no one, Mr. President.

[Rafael Mandelman]: All right. Public comment on the continuances is closed. Oh, nope, it's not. Come on up.

[Connie Chan (Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center)]: Good afternoon, Board of Supervisors. My name is Connie Chan, and I'm the housing development project manager at Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center. And, I'm also a member of the 3333 Mission Development Project. I am here to advocate on behalf of the entire development team to keep the current appeal hearing date as of 02/03/2026. As you know, building affordable housing is a lengthy and expensive project. Every day that the project is delayed, additional fees are incurred. Securing adequate funding becomes increasingly challenging. We request that the February 3 hearing date be maintained so that we prevent further delays and fiscal roadblocks. We are in the process of applying for affordable housing and sustainable communities, which is also known as the grant, a critical funding component required to move this 100 affordable senior housing development forward. Any delay in the appeal process would have a negative impact on this application. And so, thank you for your consideration and time. Thank you.

[Dennis Williams, Jr.]: Hello. Hi, supervisors. Mr. Dennis Williams, Jr, San Francisco based black micro developer, executive director of Fillmore Community Development Corporation, and principal of D. C. Williams Development Company. I think we need to delay this project appeals process because we must continue challenging the development model that benefits private capital while weakening every community, excuse me, that depends on stability, affordability, and local control. When development moves forward without workers, tenants, community organizations, and local developers at the table, the outcome is still predictable.
