SPECIAL ORDER 2:00 P.M. - Mayor's Appearance Before The Board
Pursuant to Charter Section 3.100(7), this item will be read at the Board Meeting on the second Tuesday
of each month, unless rescheduled by the Mayor and the Board President. The Mayor and the Board may
not discuss matters that have already been considered in Committee and that are on the Board' s Agenda
as an action item.
By supermajority vote of the Board of Supervisors (8 votes), the Board may, by oral motion, allow an
eligible District Supervisor to ask a question that was not previously posed if the question relates to a
sudden or unexpected incident or occurrence raising formal, time-sensitive policy questions that were not
anticipated prior to the posting of this agenda. Public comment for this item will take place during
general public comment.

Board of Supervisors Meeting Agenda Tuesday, March 11, 2014
1. 140220 [Formal Policy Discussions - March 11, 2014]
Pursuant to Charter, Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code, Section 2.11,
the Mayor shall answer the following eligible questions submitted from Supervisors
representing Districts 3, 5, 9, and 11. The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to
five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes per Supervisor.
1. Mr. Mayor, to address the affordability crisis, you have pledged in your State of the City
address to facilitate the construction of 30,000 units of housing by 2020 to meet the needs
of the City’s growing population. As you know, even as we build more housing we must do
more to prevent the displacement of residents who are currently grappling with being priced
out of San Francisco. I believe that our City’s housing policy must include the preservation
of existing, affordable rent controlled housing in addition to new development - a more cost
effective way to provide affordable housing and stabilize communities . Two initiatives I’ve
worked on to preserve our affordable housing stock are to : 1) create a pathway for the tens
of thousands of existing in-law units to become legalized; and 2) establish a right for
tenants to make an offer to buy their buildings when their property is up for sale . Will you
support both initiatives, and can you pledge to invest in housing preservation by identifying
funding for in-law units to be rehabbed and brought up code and for tenants to acquire their
buildings and keep them affordable through the Small Site Acquisition Fund ? (Supervisor
Chiu, District 3)
2. San Francisco does not have enough ambulances. According to the Budget and
Legislative Analyst’s recent audit, “Medic to Follow” calls-the term used to describe when
someone calls for an ambulance and the Fire Department does not have one available to
send-have increased over 500% since 2008. They are happening an average of eight times
each day. I have heard reports of patients being forced to wait 15, 25, even 40 minutes for
an ambulance to transport them to the hospital. And the Fire Department is well below the
service level it is obligated to provide under its “Exclusive Operating Area” with the state .
Remaining out of compliance could seriously jeopardize jobs within the Fire Department,
revenue to the Fire Department, and overall public safety.
The Fire Department estimates that it will need $9.8 million to provide new ambulances
and personnel in order to meet its state regulations. This figure is likely high, as it does
not account for the new revenue that increased emergency medical services capacity will
generate. I have asked the Budget and Legislative Analyst to assess the net -net figure.
Nonetheless, whether it is $4 million or $9 million, I think San Franciscans deserve a
reliable emergency medical system.
Will you provide sufficient funding in this year’s budget to bring the Fire Department’s
emergency medical services into compliance with its “Exclusive Operating Area” with the
state? (Supervisor Breed, District 5)
3. As you know, Supervisor Avalos is in his second term. Very soon, he will be an
unemployed former Supervisor over the age of fifty with no transferable skills whatsoever.
Since you have such great relationships with our City’s burgeoning technology sector ,
could you help Supervisor Avalos get a job?
Clearly, being a San Francisco Supervisor doesn’t prepare anyone for the real world and
Supervisor Avalos’ advanced age is an additional handicap in the modern job market .
Supervisor Avalos still asks lobbyists to make dittos instead of photocopy documents . He
has no idea what Zynga means. He thinks Zynga is what Tom Ammiano calls a witty
insult. He uses a flip phone. A flip phone.
So please use your considerable clout to help Supervisor Avalos get a job lined up for after
he leaves office that can make use of his limited skills but generally affable temperament .

Board of Supervisors Meeting Agenda Tuesday, March 11, 2014
Maybe as a greeter at Twitter HQ. Does Twitter have greeters? (Supervisor Campos,
District 9)
4. In your letter of introduction to the 2013 Climate Action Strategy (CAS), you wrote that
"the need for immediate action has never been more evident, and we know that cities are
leading the way." However the urgency of that statement is belied by the fact that the letter
was dated October 21, 2013, and the Climate Action Strategy was not released until
February 12, 2014.
The Climate Action Strategy goes on to state that "moving to 100% renewable electricity is
the single biggest step the City can take to reduce Greenhouse Gas Emissions." And yet
there was an attempt to scrub all mentions of CleanPowerSF--the City's program to
actually deliver 100% renewable electricity--from the Climate Action Strategy. The version
of the CAS released on February 12th included a "whited-out" table of projected
participation rates in CleanPowerSF. But that table was unceremoniously removed in a
new version that was posted two days later.
Unless we quickly implement 100% renewable electricity, we will fail to meet our legislated
Greenhouse Gas Emission reduction requirements in the next few years.
As a birthday present to me, will you work with the Department of the Environment to
reinstate CleanPowerSF in the Climate Action Strategy?
And as a present to the 87% of San Franciscans who believe global warming is happening,
will you commit to launch CleanPowerSF this year? (Supervisor Avalos, District 11)
