everyone. i want to introduce a resolution that we bring forward with mayor lee and supervisor chiu regarding the need to amend state law to return local control over the ellis act so that we can deal with the speculation and abuse that's happening with respect to no fault evictions. i want to note that besides the fact that we are at a historic juncture where we have all of the key players, the elected key players united behind the effort of changing state law to allow san francisco to have more control, that besides that, that this resolution also notes the neat nooed to do something not just at the state level but also at the local level and the resolution specifically talks about the need to pursue local strategies, to mitigate the adverse impacts on displacement by -- ellis act evictions by relocation and buy outs as was done earlier by this board, legislation involving tenant harassment. i'm very proud to be working with mayor lee and president chiu. i think it's important that we collectively are acting to address this displacement that's happening. i want to thank all of my

supervisor avalos who is sponsoring this memorial to speak as well. president david chiu: supervisor avalos? supervisor john avalos: thank you supervisor kim and thank you for your very thorough summary of lionel's life. i was very surprised to hear of lionel's passing. it was great to go to the community center on friday and i was happy to go there and see the community that lionel had around him. he lived a very big life and he had a very big heart and that was shown with how the community came together and how so many people spoke about lionel and how he impacted their lives. in particular bobby bogan who wanted to be with his community where he would pass. lionel, one thing that was something about lionel, he was a strong advocate around local hiring. he was here on the advocacy efforts. he was a master carpenter and was a cabinet maker and made a lot of great things. he wanted to teach people how to do great cabinet work. he had a lot to teach people as well. i want to say, thank you, lionel for your work in san francisco and florida and all the life's that you touched and the w

curious if that's been discussed or not? president david chiu: supervisor campos for the city attorney. speaker: i don't know if the city attorney would like to chime in. what i would say supervisor yee is that i think this is a tool, but let me say this, that as supervisor march indicated, -- we believe the forum can deal with these issues. it's not a one-sided situation. nothing will happen if a frivolous case is presented and the facts don't really support and allegation of harassment. the other side that is opportunity to submit their open perspective and their own evidences as to what actually happened. does it mean that it's possible that someone is going to bring a frivolous claim, that's always a possibility. that's a possibility in superior court as well. but the point here is that we want to provide an opportunity to be legitimate concerns brought forward. if the concern is not legitimate then the administrative law judge will be able to let the rent board know that. so, i think the possibility for an abuse is something that exist regardless of what we are talking about. but

legal question. it's more of a policy question for the board. president david chiu: thank you supervisor campos for answering the question. president david chiu: colleagues, any additional discussion. roll call on the item. speaker: the clerk: item 41, supervisor chiu, aye, cohen, aye, ferrel, aye, kim aye, supervisor mar, aye, tang, aye, supervisor wiener aye, yee, aye, supervisor avalos, aye, supervisor breed, aye, supervisor campos, aye, there are 11 ayes. president david chiu: the ordinance is passed. call items 42-44. speaker: they were recommended with the same title. item 42: 42.131149[adding the name "donaldina cameron alley" to old chinatown lane]sponsors: chiu; marresolution adding the name "donaldina cameron alley" to old chinatown lane in recognition of donaldina cameron and her many contributions to san francisco1234, item 43: 43.131150[adding the name "harold 'bud' moose lane" to merchant street]sponsor: chiuresolution adding the name "harold 'bud' moose lane" to merchant street in recognition of bud moose and his many contributions sf 431234 item 44: 44.131151[a
