costed that out to the tune of $200,000 in the summer. within days, we found that money. i said, i am not going to suffer another generation of kids walking our streets. we were able to do that because of the commitment to our city has to low-income kids. that has to be another example, not only that we managed the city with the best of our brains, but with the best of our hearts. we are not going to lose these kids. thank you. >> [unintelligible] supervisor wiener: would you like to add anything from the school district? >> thank you. i would like to welcome everybody to the high school on behalf of the school district. i want to appreciate the mayor and of the supervisors -- all the supervisors having these meetings in our schools are in

the city. we're very happy to be hosting, in a facility sense, the meetings you are having, mr. mayor, with all the supervisor. with respect to several voter- approved propositions, the public education enrichment fun, commitment of a certain amount of money every year to find cards -- fine arts. every district in the state of california is looking hard cutting those programs. we also have a rainy day reserve. that is always subject to the approval of the mayor. for the fourth year in a row, it looks like we're going to get

support from the rainy day reserve to our school. i think there are 8 colleagues on the board of supervisors supporting the resolution. we are probably suffering greatly. the city and county and a lot of public agencies reject our school district is in great need of financial support and the appreciate the help. supervisor wiener: phil ginsberg has something about the city fell commitment to low-income youth. >> we have a very robust scholarship fund through aggressive philanthropy and fund-raising. no child is denied an opportunity to participate in our programs based on ability to pay.

this summer, we will be tripling the number of learned to swim class's we have in our polls. drowning is the second leading cause of deaf for our low in, youth. -- low income youth. it is our primary mission to make sure the children who do not have as much opportunity as others have a safe and fun place to play. [applause] supervisor wiener: ok, the last written question we will do for now is submitted by a lydia. home care providers have already been reduced to 3.6% of service hours. the county has projected a reduction of the funds that provide health insurance for

these providers. we are asking the board of supervisors to restore funds, since we already save the county $10 million compared to the $184,000 the county is trying to say. the home health-care providers to go into people's time -- homes, people who have trouble taking care of themselves, they provide this critical services. these are some of the lowest paid workers in our health-care system, making around $11 an hour. it is primarily funded to the states and the state determines what the pay rate is. the state has made dramatic reductions in recent years. i know in all parts of the city, we have residents who depend on the services. it is not about treating the workers fairly, but it is also

about making sure the president's have the access to the home health care -- residents have the access to the home health care they rely on. i've been talking to the budget staff as well as the human services agency to do what we can on a local level. it is a $184,000 line item. it is not a massive amount of money. that is something i commit to you i am going to work on. with that, we will open it to live questions. is this the line? this is the line. in terms of how we're going to do this, i would request that any question you ask, that he be as concise as possible.

we should richard we are going to time the questions. -- we are going to time the questions. we want to get in as many questions as possible. >> [unintelligible] supervisor wiener: thank you, maggie. first person, and come on up. >> hello. thank you for coming here. supervisor wiener: good to speak into the microphone? >> i have a question for mayor lee.

i like the idea of how you guys are getting money for the parks and recreation -- but i think the most important thing is education. i was sitting there the whole time, and the never heard about education. i never heard, "oh, we're going to do this for the high school." i think education is really important. me as a senior, it is especially difficult if you are from another country. i am from guatemala. also, as the youth, we have voices. it is hard for us to be heard by you guys because we cannot vote.

i am speaking not only for myself, but all my friends, and i hope you, mr. lee, and you guys think it is important. [applause] supervisor wiener: i think it is a sanctuary question. >> hello. welcome to mission high school. in from mexico. i am a student here. -- i am from mexico. [cheering] we want to stop deportation for teenagers. now we want, like, a city --

[speaking spanish] we want to stop that. we have the right. we are people. we have rights. >> i want to say that my friend was deported to mexico and he was supported -- he was separated from his parents for seven months. i know you have children. they did not know anything about their children. the key is studying hard to help his family, and there are a lot of kids working hard at school, and we really need this. we have our rights and we know

our rights, and i hope you guys help this process. we are used, and we need this. thank you so much. -- we are youth, and we need this. >> [unintelligible] [cheering] supervisor wiener: thank you. thank you. i just heard someone shout above "secure our community is," and i know a lot of us in city government are not big fans of a secure communities. we are with you on not. speak directly into the microphone, but not too close,

because then it is hard for us to hear. thank you. >> good evening. thank you for holding this meeting in for your service. my question is this -- the dinosaur. i went to mission high school. i may be passe. i am also a maritime safety officer, retired, and longshoremen, retired. these are from a passe decade, maybe. recently i saw a short video on the need streetcar corridor not closing, including a video of a city official on sides taking no corrective action in what is obviously a very dangerous incident. later i saw the same city officials say, "i felt it was

ok, because i knew it was open." if injury would have occurred, it would have been clear negligence. on the part of the driver and any lawyer could make a case for gross negligence if there was a city official standing there, not intervening in this dangerous situation. and that city officials took no immediate action to ensure the safety of folks standing less than 1 foot away from an open door in a car moving at 30 miles per hour. my question is -- you are the supervisor of this district. i turned off my tv. i have never attended a meeting. i have never written a letter. stop -- scott, my question is,

the driver should be cited for gross negligence regarding the safety of passengers and should never again drive any city for it -- any vehicle for the city. he should be terminated. i think we can agree on that. midwestern is, please explain why you should not be terminated along with him, given you had the ability to make a difference in that critical moment and did nothing. and then when interviewed, questioned the human and sociological responsibility -- putting that on the negligent operator as though that alleviated view of the responsibility required in a moment. if you did -- supervisor wiener: can i answer your question? >> [unintelligible] supervisor wiener: tell me what

you really think though. >> hey, don't be funny. supervisor wiener: basically, just to let you know what happened, i ride muni every day, rode me every day for the last 14 years. it is my primary way of getting around the city. i thought i had seen everything, but i actually hadn't. the week before last, one of the doors was not closing. that was something unfortunately we see all too often on these cars, the defective doors. i assume, as normally, the operator would come back and fix it. instead, the car left the station with the door open and proceeded through the tunnel. and someone was filming and started filming it about halfway through. there were two guys, for reasons i do not understand, were standing right by the door. i said to them, there is room

over here. the operator got on the intercom and ask them to stand away from the door. the operator clearly knew what was happening. my option -- the option any of the passengers on that train have -- was to hit the emergency brake. i do not know if anyone in this room has been on one of those when the emergency brake was activated. i have. it is not pretty. it throws people around. it enters people. in fact, i have defended losses from muni where people got broken arms and -- lawsuits from many more people got broken arms. i determined hitting the emergency brake would have made it worse. it could have thrown that die of who was standing in the doorway. i think absolutely i and the other passengers did the right thing. the operator never should have allowed the train to leave the station with the door and secured -- unsecured.

the operator admitted he did not secure the door properly before he left. i known muni is looking into it inappropriate action will be taken. i did what i did. thank you. [applause] next question. >> hi. good evening, mayor lee and supervisor wiener. i am a teacher at mission high school. these are my students who have come out tonight. [cheering] the questioning had is, mayor lee, we want you to implement the use policy that was passed last year by the board of supervisors. it would impact so many of my students and their families. what you heard tonight, when these students are separated from their families, and as a teacher, i feel afraid to call

law enforcement if i think my students are going to disappear, suddenly gone, and we do not know where they have gone. it is very important. we want our students in school every day, and we want them to know this place is safe. there is no way they could believe me if they know they could get picked up. please, my question to you -- and you heard earlier from my students -- will you implement the youth policy passed by the board of supervisors last year, 8 to 3? thank you. [applause] mayor lee: i do want to say it is under review in my office with the probation department and the police department, and all the other public safety departments.

and i have registered that i do want to see what we can do to be closer to what the board has passed. at this time, it is in review. it is something i am looking at. thank you. supervisor wiener: ok. next question. >> hi, scott. i am are residents of diamond heights. as you know, i neighbor of ours encountered a pack of eight coyotes. they were not intimidated by him. >> [unintelligible] >> there is a daycare center in the park. these coyotes are now committing what animal control calls

unacceptable behavior. as the numbers grow exponentially and they become more aggressive, i want to know what the city plans to do about it? right now, there is no plan except to educate the residents and wait until an animal or a person gets injured, and then fish and game would come and shoot the animal. that seems like a lose/lose situation for everyone. supervisor wiener: i am sorry that animal care and control is not here, but i have had an of conversations about this, that i feel like i can answer this. for those who do not know, we do have coyotes in san francisco. they are part of the wildlife in the city. they are here. they have been there for awhile. the city has worked hard to educate people on how to interact with coyotes. for example, not feeding them. not getting them comfortable

with being around people, etc. a few weeks ago, there was a pack of coyotes, between 4 and 6, that was spotted a couple of times. it was not your typical siding. typically, when the young thai dod is it to a certain age, they get driven off -- when the young thai use it to a certain age, they get driven off by the pack. there was some kind of food source that was keeping them together as a pack. there were a couple of sightings. we have not had any in a couple of weeks. we're trying to educate people. i have sent several e-mails about it. in may, up we will have a program on understanding in these. -- tie yogis reachingcoyo -- coyotes. we're trying to relocate them. it usually does not work. when you call fish and game,

their solution is often to shoot the animal. it is not an easy situation. we are committed to making sure that people who live around the canyon understand what is going on, understand how to interact or not with coyotes. if anyone sees of full pack again, please let my office no, let animal care and control know. we need to know if this was a freak incident or something that is ongoing. >> thank you, supervisor. i think there's going to be a public meeting on that -- on the 12th. would do provide notices and senate on -- coyotes in our park. not to dive into the dog issue,

but in glen canyon, it is important to keep your dog on a leash. it is a strategy that can help keep our pets safe and the coyotes further away. thank you. supervisor wiener: thank you. i do not think we have seen now online and 7 on your side.. the meeting is at the hall of flowers. may 12. it is in my newsletter. if you want to get my e-mail newsletter, let me know. we will put you on. next question. >> hi. my name is jean. i graduated from this high school. i have to disagree with you. the amount of coyotoes -- last

night, coming home, i had still wait in my car before i entered my house. they are roaming rapidly. i had to call safeway, and the people who owned the complex there said they were back there at night, looking for food. in know that they have left the golden gate park area. they have become brazen. they are walking during the day. at night. two weeks ago, they were trying to get on my balcony. they are all over. not just in diamond heights. glen park. they have frightened away the raccoons, and there is another area in san francisco.

this is a serious situation. this needs to be addressed. when i can get out of my car, if i have to go to say -- i do not walk across the street anymore. supervisor wiener: before you leave tonight, will you give me your information so someone from animal control -- >> i have called them. supervisor wiener: i will call them, too. >> and i know the other issue is that pg&e is tearing up the city putting smart boxes in, but they are also replacing old boxes. my question is, i know they outsourced the repaving of the streets, but how is it taking so long for them, the company, whoever? nobody says anything. that is another issue. i know it is not the city's, but i would like to find out, we would like to know, why is it

taking so long to repair the streets? supervisor wiener: sure. >> i cannot really speak for pg any. they do have a -- pg&e. they do have a gas line replacement program. they have a project around the city. one thing we started doing with them -- i cannot speak to their construction methods. they do whatever they or anyone else is doing. they do have to abide by our explanation code. that relates more to how much of the street they have to restore as opposed to how quickly they were. one thing, we are joining with them, and they will be doing a lot of destructive tearing up of the streets for their projects. we have been teaming up with them so we can do a curb to curb restoration of the street.

all of the accessible curb ramps are being done at the same time. a think we have three different projects going on now. -- i think we have three different projects going on now. i do not know if there are any coming soon to district 8. it is a lot of disruption. but instead of having all that construction and just part of the street being done, after the project is done, the entire street has been resurfaced and the programs up and put in. if there are particular problems with pd any -- pg&e or anyone else, please do call 311. we will send out an inspector. there are rules about how they maintain the site while they are working. we will be happy to ensure they are in compliance. supervisor wiener: thank you. next question. >> first, thank you, supervisor

wiener, mayor lee, everyone for coming out today. what i want to know was touched on earlier. the ggnra essentially compressing the leashed dog space is going to have a massive impact as everyone fleas that area into the city parks -- flees that area into the city parks. what is the city going to do to fund the inevitable cost increases? with such a dramatic budget shortfall all ready? we are pushing those costs from them on to the city and taxpayers, regardless of whether you are a dog owner or not. supervisor wiener: thank you. i have been working on this issue a lot.

we talked a little bit about this before. i agree with you, sir. i think ggnra needs to take into account what the impact on the city are going to be before it moves forward. to its credit, i have a hearing on this on monday, and they will be there to listen to public comment, and they a been meeting with rec and park and animal control. i am more optimistic than i was a few weeks ago that they will adjust the plan. in my view, it is not acceptable. next question. >> hi. i am at the lgbt center. i the question for the mayor. -- i have a question for the mayor. oaw has been asked to review their budget. at the 30% level, they agreed

tounfund programs. given the support for small businesses, to create an important engine for our economy and to create new jobs. can you please speak to your commitment for these issues, and also the steps that you might take to protect these all important services. as a note, we are among seven other service providers that are unfunded as a result of these cuts, the lgbt center, and as of 4:00 p.m. today, our funding has not been restored. thank you.
