The official
Shamann Walton
Supervisor, District 10
San Francisco official, as the city's roster has them.
The official's exact words
"COLLEAGUES I AM ALSO REQUESTING THE BUDGET AND LEGISLATIVE ANALYSTS TO INTERPRET CLEARLY ANALYZE THE ECONOMIC IMPACT OF THE CHARTER REFORM MEASURES PROPOSED BY MAYOR LURIE THAT ARE CURRENTLY UNDERGOING THE SIGNATURE VERIFICATION PROCESS AT THE DEPARTMENT OF ELECTIONS. SAN FRANCISCO VOTERS ARE BEING ASKED TO DECIDE ON THREE CHARTER REFORM MEASURES THIS NOVEMBER THAT WERE FUNDAMENTAL RESTRUCTURE HOW THE CITY OPERATES INCLUDING A SPENDING MAYORAL HIRING AND FIRING AUTHORITY AS WELL AS REORGANIZATION POWER. EXTENDING THE CITY ADMINISTRATOR'S TERM TO TEN YEARS WHILE GIVING THAT OFFICE SO AUTHORITY OVER PROCUREMENT. AND RAISING THE SIGNATURE THRESHOLD FOR CITIZEN INITIATIVES FROM 2% TO 8%. >> THESE ARE NOT SMALL TECHNICAL FIXES. THEY SHIFT REAL POWER AWAY FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS INDEPENDENT COMMISSIONS AND FROM THE RESIDENTS OF SAN FRANCISCO."

Reading, not a finding. Speaker-credit doubt: low.
In common: Same measures: the quote names 'THE CHARTER REFORM MEASURES PROPOSED BY MAYOR LURIE' (a spending ... mayoral hiring and firing authority, the City Administrator's term and procurement, and the signature threshold for initiatives); the union's page lists Props D, E and F with a recommendation on each. Where they differ: The quote asks for a cost analysis and says the measures 'SHIFT REAL POWER AWAY FROM THE BOARD OF SUPERVISORS'; the union's page says Vote NO on each. Both are critical of the measures on their face. (My reading.) No cause is claimed.
Who is speaking: Shamann Walton, Supervisor, District 10. Walton is called at 02:36:50 ('SUPERVISOR WALTON THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK'), says 'I AM INTRODUCING A RESOLUTION AND ALSO A BILL A REQUEST', and the request here is the 'also'. The remarks say 'DISTRICT TEN RESIDENTS' and 'DISTRICT TEN WILL SOON FACE' (District 10 is Walton on the roster) and thank 'SUPERVISOR CHEN AS WELL AS SUPERVISOR FIELDER', so the speaker is neither of those. The chair moves on at 02:42:48 ('THE REST I SUBMIT ... SUPERVISOR WALTON').
Doubt in the credit: No name cue directly before the passage (the cue is three minutes earlier, with '>>' marks between); the speaker's own 'District Ten' and the chair's closing agree with Walton.
