Walton, present. Supervisor Wong? Wong, present. Mr. President, you have a quorum. Thank you, Madam Clerk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors acknowledges that we are on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush 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 Ramatushaloni have never ceded, lost, or 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.

Finally, we are in receipt of two memos. As stated over the last several weeks, Supervisor Fielder submitted a memo dated April 7th requesting to be excused each week between April 7th and June 30th. And on May 4th, we received a memo from Supervisor Mahmoud requesting to be excused from today's meeting. Members, Mr. President, that concludes my communication. Thank you, Madam Clerk. Colleagues, could I have a motion to excuse Supervisors Fielder and Mahmoud from today's meeting? Motion made by Chen and seconded by Walton. Colleagues, I think we can take that without objection. Without objection, Supervisors Fielder and Mahmoud are excused. And then, Madam Clerk, let's go to our consent agenda, items one through five.
