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 Ramatushaloni community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples. Colleagues, will you join me in reciting the Pledge of Allegiance?

Finally, in line with Supervisor Fielder's April 7th memo requesting to be excused from all meetings until June 30th, a motion is in order to consider that request for today's meeting. Members, Mr. President, that concludes my communication. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, Supervisor Dorsey has indicated that he is coming, but is going to be late. So could I have a motion to excuse Supervisor Fielder from the meeting entirely and Supervisor Dorsey from the votes that he misses?

Welcome back to the chamber, Mr. Mayor.

Mayor Daniel Lurie 4:05

You may have up to five minutes. Thank you, Board President. Last week, I submitted a balanced budget that is fiscally responsible and strengthens our social safety net. So even in the face of federal cuts, San Franciscans know they can count on this city. This budget closes a $642 million two-year deficit, moving our city forward for all San Franciscans. Last July, just as our city was getting back on track, the federal government passed H.R. 1, making it harder for people across this country to access the critical health care and food assistance that they depend on. When people lose health care coverage, they turn to our public hospitals.
