exits ranging to up to millions of dollars. this is a unique place that a lot of international people are coming to start their business. i have been to london, paris, madrid, amsterdam and tel aviv and any of those international cities would die to help us if they could. this is really sad that this is happening. thanks. president chiu: next speaker. >> hi, my name is glen jones. i'm a resident of pier 38 as well. i have two businesses as well. one we do environmental restoration work. another is a contracting company and we build homes in san francisco. i would like to say i don't think we have been treated very fairly with the eviction. we have been associated with

carl and have taken the tenants to carl on that we are, as has been stated, really a great group of people there creating jobs, making jobs for san francisco and the community and at large, we are doing a really good job and we would like to stay there. i'm a general contractor, like i said. i can repair everything on the list within a month easily and pay for it. so i would plead our case to stay and continue giving revenue to the port and the city of san francisco. with us leaving the pier in their 25-day notice to depart, the city is going to lose a significant amount of money due to our departure and rent loss. then the pier is going to sit, from what we hear, from two to three days while these minor repairs are taking place while it degradates as does the pier

beside it. the waterfront is the gem of the city and needs to be taken care of. we're there to take care of it, run it and help the economy of san francisco. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you, next speaker. >> good >> good afternoon. i would like to speak to some of the concerns raised about the construction project and the give a little bit of background and a couple of ideas for strategy's going forward. we have a lot of history here in the room. the bayview, hunters point, agencies have existed and there were commissioners who were

right here on the left. eloise westbrook who passed away. here to be with us to highlight the challenge is the good faith efforts and local hiring project. good faith did not work in the sixties and it will not work now. the city had this local hiring process as well. the city chose this through legislation and this was supported by the board of supervisors. the ship from a good faith type of approach that measures success and outcomes and actual results is what i think might be really important because i don't think that the concerns

will go away. the redevelopment continues to have a good face policy. to build upon the relationships that are developing that led it to the passage of this law. the board of supervisors can consider using their influence to influence the redevelopment agency. thank you. >> thank you, my name is oscar james. the one thing i want to bring up first is that i was like this session to clothes. -- to close. there will be a meeting on the 20 it and they're talking about capping. we don't want any of the

shipyard to be capped. i have seen the radiation roberts, i have seen the lead, i have seen the toxic -- back there. i have also served on the hunters point shipyard. i talked about the toxins being there, and they denied it. the city of voted on it. they wanted all of these moved. do not allow the navy to come in and cap the shipyard. we're talking rectifier that they started. all of this is a total lie.

we can give you an update on what happened. please come to this meeting and voice your opinion. thank you very much. >> thank you, next speaker. >> thank you, supervisors. we are going to to lose out on a big advantage. all have asked for this space.

we have brought some of the clients that we work with to san francisco where they ended up spinning off their own company. and we think that that opportunity will go away. we also echo the sentiment about the timing. we have 15 employees, we have several contractors. this is not a trivial thing to do. we have not yet secured a new location. we have worked with the port and other commercial real estate folks. everyone confirms that will must see anything for 10 months. we would like to offer a plan which is some way of staying in our current situation. think you.

>> i want to reiterate what other people have said, obviously this represents a lot of jobs and revenue for the city of san francisco. we are working on various boats. in the past, there is a lot of options for the public to have boats there. we're hoping to turn this around and reiterate that this could happen with more access. time is short and i encourage you to see what happens. >> next speaker.

good afternoon, supervisors. i want to say thank-you to all of you for your willingness to be crossed out, talked dirty to. don't get worried. i want ology to know, what you are seeing is years and years of frustration. i just pray that they're different than what we were in the sixties and they don't want to comment blow everything up.

let's give the lot on opportunity to work. i am 100% with mr. jackson. one of the problems that we have had is that there is no teeth to these. i would say do you to get someone in their to ensure that these contractors are not getting wealthy on city jobs. thank-you and got less all of you. >> i am the founder and ceo of -- a year ago, a venture capitalist friend of mine who are talking to about to and the start of

said that you need to come out of the bay area. when i came, there was this energy that emanated and it was here 38. this serves as a nexus for venture capitalists, very talented people call law and businesses and risk takers. if you look at san francisco as the speaking, pier 38 was the filament of that. this is a shame to see this go this way.

>> i have been told by the court staff that there is a meeting that will be convened likely by the end of this week with various city staffers. we hope that everyone will be able to come, i know that we have visited pier 38, this is an incredible place. we want to make sure that we do everything we can to figure out a good resolution. we want to let you know tuesday to end and you can call supervisor kim's office. >> there is someone here to speak with the people at pier 38. we have been speaking closely

with some of the tenants to coordinate this meeting. if you're not in touch with our office, that is our way of keeping in touch with you but we have been in touch with the mayor's office of the finding a resolution. >> thank you very much for being here. next speaker. >> i live across the street. they have been a good neighbor. they bring healthy people coming and going to work in our neighborhood. the overhead is not seem to be working.

i will switch the subjects and i will ask you to choose between two neighbors. here is bayside village, it has been here. the parking spaces are ventilated. this is about the size of a space. across the street, we have the water mark. that is a parking garage. this is tied to the power grid. it blows fumes.

on the front side, it blows noise. this is equal to the bridge. which would you like to have in front of your neighborhood, in front of your home where you live? to have noise in a building, it gets dumped. the noise is garbage. thank you. >> thank-you.

>> good afternoon. i am from a district 10. i started to work as an electrician because of the program that they had back in 1977 to get people in the area to work. bill local six electricians are good at that. if they don't like you, they will bankrupt you.

there should be more emphasis on hiring people in this city to keep this function in. if people cannot get a job, this goes to people in livermore, modesto, santa rosa. there seems to be a lot of collusion and ways to bust the system. i would like to thank you for the up to 80 to have people come and speak on their causes and to represent themselves. thank you. >> are there any other members of the public that bush to speak

in general public comment? general public comment is closed. why don't we go to the adoption without committee reference calendar? >> these items will be acted upon by a single vote unless a member requests a discussion of the item. >> would anyone like to sever any items? could you please call the roll? >> those resolutions are adopted.

>> today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following individuals on behalf of supervisor kim, wiener, cohen, and avalos, for the late mr. would burn. for the late mr. cox. on behalf of carmen chu, for helen mcdonald on behalf of mirkarimi, on behalf of -- >> if we can have miss westbrook for the entire board, without objection, that will be the case. and leicester's any business and from the this board, i think we are returned for to -- unless there is any business in front of this board, i think we are adjourned for the day.

>> welcome to your school. how're you doing? we are lowering the speed 2015. we are going to do it all over the city. thank you. good morning. welcome to your school. we are posting the new signs for the miles per hour zone. we will lower them all to 15 around the school, just to keep it safe for the kids. i get to announce that today, so i thought i would welcome the kids.

, on up. come on up. are you excited? thank you. good morning, everyone. i am happy to be here. you are going to learn a lot today. we are here to help make sure that you are safe. we want to always make sure that when our kids go to school it is safer. sometimes, as your parents will tell you, they will see a lot of cars and sometimes buses will go too fast on the street and you wish that they would slow down for your safety. you want to be safer? >> yeah! >> i want you to be safe as well, and i will be joining in with your parents and all of the city officials. we have the police chief here, director of the transit system, our school board president is here as well to make sure that all of us join together with

you, the school, and with the parents to make sure that you are always safe. so we are going to be putting of these new signs along all of the schools in san francisco beginning at peabody. you are the first school to get this. [applause] that must mean that you must be among the smartest kids in our city. that has got to mean something, right? let us go to peabody first because they must have some smart kids. each school will be getting four signs. there will be 200 schools in san francisco that will get these new signs that lowers the speed to a maximum of about 15 miles per hour. that has proven to be much safer and having no signs or

instructions. parents, i want to thank all of you for joining us. these recommendations come from the experts that are studying how we can increase the pedestrian and student safety around our schools. these are hot spots around the city. we want to say, we will join you in that effort, and our police department, and our school department officials, and our transit system. we are working together, we have continued meetings to make sure that we not only post signs, but the police will be out there enforcing this. they will start out by telling people and educating them, not just by issuing a citation or fine right away. educating first so that people know that they have to drive slow around schools. with that, we hope to change the whole way people pay respect to pedestrian safety and school children safety. so with that, thank you very

much. [applause] >> supervisor mar is here. he is a regular at the george peabody. he was here with us during back- to-school day last year. to you feel safer this morning? >> absolutely. peabody is one of our great schools in our districts. thank you to all the parents for getting their kids to school safety. by these measures, we can identify key risk factors. reducing the speed limit will keep everyone safer. thank you to everyone at peabody. [applause] >> george peabody students, let's show our visitors what a great job we do in the morning walking into our class. >> good morning, everyone. thank you for coming out today. we are going to get going. before we start, i want to thank

the principal for hosting us here today. i think he is already getting to work, but i want to thank him for letting us come here and either disrupt or enhance the morning drop off, and -- depending on your perspective. i am the director of transportation here in san francisco. happy to be here for a very important reason. my tenure here stretches all the way back to monday when i had my first day as the head of the municipal transportation agency. although i have only been here for four days, i have been with the city for four years, and from the different perspectives i have served the city, i have been able to see and work on the issue that we are here to talk about today, which is pedestrian safety. particularly, safety for kids. kids need to be able to get to school, leave school, and have

any other interface between the school and street -- for that to happen safely. that is what we are here to talk about today. we have a lot of people that will be giving you a lot of perspective on this. so without further ado, the man leading the effort, who really has created an aura of -- direction for collaboration between the many city departments, school district, and other partners that are part of making this happen, mayor ed lee. [applause] >> thank you. good morning. i always want to start out now, when i'm with our sfmta director -- two ed's are better than one. so we are coordinating more these days. that has been at the heart of this effort. i want to thank all the efforts that are going on between the

school district and sand francisco government and our parents and our police department and our volunteer organizations like walk sf. all of the collaboration going on with supervisors like supervisor mar and others who are behind me -- we are working together to make sure that this whole topic about pedestrian safety gets the visibility that it needs because it still is a huge challenge for our very congested city, our city that does invite millions of people to our city every year, but then, we are also a city of neighborhoods. neighborhood schools like peabody here, where we have to do even extra things to make sure that our kids are getting to school safely. just this morning, what i wanted to do to come out here immediately was to join bryan, who was out here this morning.

he is a buy and hear from our fire department, happens to be a parent of kids who go to this school. spending the morning guiding the kids from the cars to the playground. and it is necessary for that because there's so much traffic going on here, but i got a firsthand from him that it is verified that the speed of the streets and routes around our schools are dangerous. that they need to be slowed down. it has been shown in study after study, and the last one we looked at was the study in london as well where if you slowed down even a fraction of the speed, you can get a high increase in the amount of safety and reduction in the fatal -- fatalities that result from car collisions. for us in san francisco, today, we'd pick peabody to be the first school, the first of 200 in san francisco that by the end of this year and through
