year resident of district three; i run an organization that employs over 250 individuals here in san francisco the contributed economy every day. my organization and employees are excited by the 5.4 unplug and write and excited about the new businesses coming in ,in the ideas of expanding open space, around civic center and -- plaza. what i'm deeply concerned about today and what i want to speak to you about is why we're moving forward with the new economy, and moving forward with tech and business coming back, and concern about the most vulnerable san franciscans. one bedroom apartment is averaging 3,000 a month. median income has reached

77,000 here in san francisco. i'm concerned about the draconian cuts put forward by the department of health that will hurt many of my employees who rely on the systems of care of their own welfare for them and their families. i am concerned about the workforce system that is not addressing individuals with huge implement gaps. there is innovation being put forwardboth to the mayor's office from the various groups to reform the work for system; there are new ideas on how to get homeless individuals back to work. these are expensive options. i hope that in the age of innovation we take the risk to spend more and help those citizens and have the san francisco dream achieve self-sufficiency. thank you. >> thank you very much. bill bowen, district two.

thank you for inviting public comment. and give ideas on how to spend more money; i'm sure it will be helpful to the people here. i like to shift a bit though, almost all the support most of the things that are being discussed, schools, health, public safety, parks and so forth. the ability -- 7.4 billion dollars is a pretty good-sized budget; we are projecting a 25 percent increase in cost going forward. we can't do that. there is in that much money and choices have to be made. one of the things that we don't talk about is the underlying cost of the system in terms of the compensation paid to the employees managing the system. we have 200-300,000 a year employees with overtime which is out of control in many departments , particularly in

fire but elsewhere as well and we have a looming healthcare cost to the city which will torpedo anything that anybody wants to do in the out years. i would encourage the policymakers of the city to address particularly health care and the cost of the employment in the city. if we are going to deliver the services that people want to maintain the support of the citizens of the city. thank you. (applause) >> good morning mayor, supervisor farrell and supervisor chiu and department representative. i am amy chung representing elderly -- our workforce programs and b top programs today. we look upon these public hearings as precious moments when our seniors can directly

look at all of you in the your eyes and let you know that they really exist, and exist in a major way in every one of our districts in san francisco and mayor thank you very much for always listening to our seniors and to the providers who provide them services. many of us in the senior center, anderson and nutrition programs have come to various staff to talk about the infrastructure of senior services is breaking up in san francisco. we are an elderly city and county-- 19%, we don't even have enough money to support the services that we are providing to the seniors now, not talking about the growing number. i hope that you will hear from -- our one-stop center in district 3 about the need for

workforce; you have heard me talk about needing restoration for all the nutrition programs and you heard from our senior about b top continuation and all the centers. i have three simple words: do not forget our seniors. thank you. (applause) >> good morning. my name is eleanor lori; i am actually supervisor farrell's representative on the advisory council on the commission of aging. it is a pleasure to be here with you. i am also here to talk about the need for computer literacy for seniors. in the past, this money has come from federal stimulus funds, gone into a program referred to as b top. we have been able through contracts with the department

of aging and adult services, the living coalition campaigns, to provide computer literacy training in many different languages for seniors because think about it. yellow pages have virtually disappeared; if you want to find out where your doctor's office is, if you want to communicate with social security, if you want to find information from the city, almost everything now requires computer literacy; it is the second literacy. i'm calling from some effort from the city to help replace some of the federal monies that are not going to come for this purpose, for the purpose of continuing computer literacy. you've heard from a representative of self-help for the elderly and you heard

from mr. santiago about a way to provide new forms of education. i am asking that these funds be added to the city's budget, thank you very much. (applause) >> hello good morning. my name is stephanie greenberg. president of -- neighbors, and resident of district 3 for almost 20 years. i'm here to request funding for the greater broadway area for addressing safety and quality of life improvements as well as for area revitalization. i want to thank supervisor chiu who has been unwavering in his support for our efforts and i am grateful for the cooperation of the police and many city agencies for their assistance in addressing crime and safety issues. i respectfully request for funding to ensure that the police have the necessary resources the key president, families and

visitors safe. in addition funding for better lighting on our dark corners and even darker alleys in washington square park would be beneficial. under the city recognizes the value of revitalizing key commercial corridors, historical influential artery in the heart of the cities commercial district, and at least five distinct neighborhoods. over the time the area has become blighted; while progress is being made to curb crime the area needs revitalization you to the perception that it is unsafe because it is nothing to offer the community. when was the last time that any of you spent time on broadway or even up grant avenue? partially due to the stigma of runway to find ourselves requesting assistance to change the perception of the area to attract visitors and locals it to nice our local businesses.

we should celebrate the history of the neighborhood, and the people who made their mark here and call the neighborhood home. i hope you allocate funds to develop strategies to create a viable and safe . arts and cultural corridor which celebrates the history and diversity along with public safety improvements art education project such as murals, historical markers and lighting will go a long way in area renewal and will assist with creative strategies to attract illnesses and services to the area. thank you so much for your consideration. (applause) >> thank you all very much. the next five speakers we have -- (reading cards) both district two and district three.

>> good morning folks. my name is jane -- i work with opeiu local 3. i represent hundreds of members who work in some of the nonprofits you have heard about today and who live in both your districts supervisors, and that's why i put myself down for both. i want to talk to you briefly about the cuts to the department of public health. i want to say that over the last couple of years we have seen great leadership of the department of the department health and i don't think the city for that. we have had some real innovation and thank you mr. mayor for supporting us also in some of our street outreach programs in some of the dreck services in on the both of you supervisors have seen the effects of that in your neighborhood. but once we bring these vulnerable folks into our services,

we have to have a place for them to go in some of the cuts
