7:17 pm
[ inaudible ] >> it is one thing to anticipate a death because of old age or sickness. its quite another to experience the sudden violent death of a loved one. >> we need to bring awareness to this. we talk about bring awareness to other things, but why don't we bring awareness to this? our children are lieing in the streets dying everyday and if i have to show this everyday i will. i don't know what else to do.
7:18 pm
my son laying on a gurney. >> since 2004, san francisco has experienced an unprecedented number of homicides. >> we talk about domestic violence, this is violence against our children also. what about our children? what about the families? >> 60% of the homicide victims are people of color. their loved ones -- >> please help us.

>> while at the same time are facing the crimes and violence of the unsafe neighborhoods that surround them everyday. >> just give us the same attention. >> thank you. any other members of public who wish to speak in general public comment, please step up. >> hello. christina olague, i have put in a request to meet with you and
7:20 pm
i'm looking for a call back. all right. i just feel like we do need some major reforms within the city. some of it is within our shelter systems and our property. i just feel like the local -- i feel like the shelter monitoring committee is being ignored. jane kim you are doing some work with that and i would appreciate if would you sends one of your legislative aide. >> excuse me, circumstance sir, we have a rule in the board that permits speakers from targeting certain supervisors. >> maybe you should send your legislative aides. maybe jane kim shouldn't be the only one trying to make the shelter systems better. i feel like the sf hot team is
7:21 pm
really being ignored in this equation. they will put someone off the streets and put them in a house and put their lives together. they have already cut them once and i would like at least people to start bringing them into the equation. the other thing that i am having a problem with. it just seems that everybody is disconnected from each other. like the san francisco male health association, the sro task force, the local homeless coordinating board and the shelter monitors are not really coming together to deal with this problem. >> thank you very much. i'm sorry, i realized you still have 25 seconds left. so we'll give you a little bit more time. >> i think the other thing, too is that we do need to deal with property and empty and
7:22 pm
abandoned property. so you have an excessive amount of people who are sleeping on the sidewalks and double-tripled up. you have families who live in something like the size of a bathroom. when we have houses that are empty. >> thank you. are there any members of public who wish to speak in general public comment? seeing no one, public comment is closed. colleagues, the memorial service starts at 4:30 and see if we can wrap this up superquickly. >> items 36 through 40 are considered for immediate and unanimous adoption and can be acted upon a single roll call vote unless members would like to severe the item? >> supervisor wiener 37.

7:24 pm
would help prevent serious cuts to our schools. it's supported not only by the california teachers association, but the california federation of teachers and many, many different groups from the california school board associations to others and our board of education supports both. prop 38 is our children and our future local schools and bond debt reduction act. it would actually support early childhood education that prop 30 does not and it's also an important measure. i think if both of them passed what would happen it would be worked out that we wouldn't be double taxed, but we would find the different compromises kinds of both work for our schools. the groups that support both measures is tom torlakson and

california retired teachers associations and san francisco examiner and i urge support for both measures. supervisor wiener. >> thank you so supervisor mar for bringing this forward. i was surprised that we could take positions on ballot measures, but i was told by the city attorney that we were able to do so. i would make a motion to amend and add a second resolve that states further resolved that the san francisco board of supervisors president iss its strong disapproval on recent attacks of prop 30 and suggest that the supporters of propositions 30 pawn 38 refrain from attacking one another. second by supervisor mar and can we take that without objection? without objection that is the
