Thank you, Madam Clerk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors acknowledges that we are in the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramatushalone, who are the original inhabitants of the San Francisco Peninsula. As the indigenous stewards of this land and in accordance with their traditions, the Ramatushaloni 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 Ramatushalone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as first peoples.

Aaron Peskin 1:27

Colleagues, will you join me in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance? I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, invisible with liberty and justice for all. On behalf of the board, I want to acknowledge the staff at SFGov T T V. Today that is especially Colina Mendoza. They record each of our meetings and make the transcripts available to the public online. Madam Clerk, do you have any communications?

Madam Clerk 2:04

Thank you, Mr. President. The Board of Supervisors welcomes you all to be here in attendance in the Board's legislative chamber, located within City Hall, room 250 on the second floor. And when you're unable to be here, you may watch the proceedings. They are airing live on SFGOV TV's local cable channel, or you can catch the live stream at sfgovtv.org. And as some of you may know, We know SB707 now requires remote public comment at full Board of Supervisors meetings. As a reminder, it does not require it at committee meetings, but today is the first day we welcome our remote public callers back. During public comment, we will prioritize the individuals who are able to join us in person here in the chamber.

Madam Clerk 2:54

And only then, once we exhaust the line, will we go to the remote callers. I want to point out that last week the board approved amendments to the board's rules of order to prepare for equipment failure or disorderly conduct during public comment. Public comment must remain germane to matters within the jurisdiction of the board. Please note that self-expression cannot contain personal attack. attacks, harassment, or discriminatory remarks directed at any city employee or any board members. Uh failure to comply, we will immediately redirect your comments and if you choose to continue, we will uh transition to the next speaker. Uh and just remember to address your comments to the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors.

Madam Clerk 3:42

If you'd like to submit public comment in writing, you may do so by sending an email to bos at sfgov.org or use the postal service. Just address the envelope to the San Francisco Board of Supervisors, the number one, Dr. Carlton B. Goodlitt Place, City Hall, Room 244, San Francisco, California.
