Present. Walton present. And Supervisor Wong? Present. Wong present. Mr. President, all members are present. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramatushaloni, 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 Ramatush Ohlone community and by affirming their sovereign rights as First Peoples.

Board President (Dean Mandelman) 1:46

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, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. 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 the transcripts available to the public online. And colleagues, before we get into our meeting, Supervisor Fielder, who has returned from her extended leave, ask that we grant her privilege of the floor to provide some remarks. And if there are no objections, and I don't see any, I think we can grant her privilege.

Board President (Dean Mandelman) 2:42

Without objection, Supervisor Fielder is provided privilege of the floor.

Joy Zahn 2:47

Thank you, President Mandelman.

Jackie Fielder 2:48

Thank you, colleagues. I want to thank you for your grace in extending a excuse for my absence for an extended leave. It's not something that I wanted to do, but something that my doctor recommended.

Joy Zahn 3:01

And I'm very glad I did take the time to protect my mental health. In this time, I've had a steadfast team in Anna, Jen, Sheila, and Sasha. I want to thank you for your dedication and all the hard work that you've done to ensure our constituents continue to be served in District 9 and moving our legislation forward.

Jackie Fielder 3:24

I want to thank Madam Clerk Angela Calvillo for your guidance and support throughout this process. I want to thank our city departments for going above and beyond to help our constituents in District 9. I want to thank Mayor Lurie and his staff for their compassion and assistance to my office, especially around small business and public safety concerns. I especially want to thank my constituents, community leaders, community groups from Bernal, the Mission, and Portola, who I have the honor of serving in this chair. I want to thank you for the outpouring of support when I was in my hospital and during my leave. So thank you all so much for your grace, and I'm so proud and honored to be back. Thank you, President Mandelman.

Why does the Board deliver an indigenous land acknowledgment and recite the Pledge of Allegiance?

Thank you, Supervisor Fielder. It's good to have you back. And it's credit to you that your office has performed so well in your time out. So thanks to them from us as well.
