excited to announce a special event. the san francisco bicycle coalition with mayor's office of disability, the office of adults in aging services and borp, which is bay area outreach and recreation program. be hosting an adaptive cycling event is for people with physical disabilities are able to ride custom made bicycles. some of these bicycles are hand powered, some have a tandem what's called pilot trained volunteer or staff pulling the position and there are people providing recreational opportunities for people with disabilities. very excited to bring them to san francisco to give people who live in san francisco the opportunity to experience something that perhaps they never have before. so the event is on june 9th, on

the sunday streets routes in the dog patch. i apologize, i do not have a printed flyer with me today. we are finalizing the content. it should be ready next week and i will make sure i send over electronic copies and printed to copies to you all of if you can spread the news to all of your contacts, we want to make sure as many people come. this bicycle coalition we'll be providing volunteer power to make sure everything runs smoothly. mta is a very strong partner. last week was bike to workday. it was great to have carla and perhaps some of you participated as well. it was the biggest bike to workday we

had. more than two-thirds of traffic on market street was bicycles and to us more people bicycling means more spots for parking and more spots on the us thank you carla for joining us. i know that we are all working together safer streets. i wanted to update you on recent coming events. thank you very much. >> thank you. is there anymore public comment? okay. step up to the mic. >> any bridge line? >> i filled out a speaker card.

my name is jackie bryceon. i was commended for my tireless and unending work. that's when i was able to walk and i had not been crippled into walker because of non-accommodation. i have been fighting diligently to the best of my ability which carl can tell you. i'm here today because i assigned myself a homework assignment to find out if san francisco passed ada reasonable accommodation policy. thanks to heather who did homework as directed by joanna and i discovered, drum role, that ordinance no. the

file no. 204 was signed into law on april 30, 2010. it's already in the computer. you can get your own complete file from the clerks office. that's what i'm going to talk about in item 9. our second public speaking. and oakland should take out a page out of our playbook. i went to the human rights commission and spoke and that particular agenda minutes of april 25, of april 13. my comments was to say the door was working. the last couple of times i went it refused to obey me. i hate that. the chair asked us to tell her if there was ll her. she

contacted the mayor's disability office and the ordinance is 90-10 and it concerned me that the hrc and mayor's office of disability didn't know about it. it's rather short and my concern was that there was to be publicity and that didn't happen. i would suggest and i can speak to carla later and joanna about this coming to compliance with the compliance. the other thing that concerns me seriously is what to do if you need to have reasonable accommodations and you didn't get it. i was trying to get reasonable accommodations august of 2010 and i didn't know this had been passed and i suffered at the hands of the evil landlord. thank you. i will see you on

item 7 as well. >> thank you very much. >> if you can, when you fill out your speaker card, i didn't see your item, that's why i didn't call it. it doesn't have 3 on here. i'm sorry. thank you very much. is there anymore public comment? okay. thank you very much. seeing there is no more public comment. the report from the chair, good afternoon, everyone. i am chair wilson and i would like to mention a couple of things in my report. last month director carla johnson talked about the sro technical assistance manual that was developed to help landlords and installing grab bars in the restroom in the

safest way possible. the council members have had an opportunity to look at the manual closely and our last executive meeting and we finally support the mayor's office disability efforts on this important project. i also want to remind you that we would like to make public comment, but when we have multiple people wish to go speak on each team we reserve the right to limit public comment time to one or two minutes so that everyone has a chance to talk. okay. sorry, you guys. i'm very new at this. you guys are going to have to get used to me. in my report.

i'm still on the chairs report. i would just like to mention in the beginning some events that is going to happen and i will mention them at the end real fast. one day, next month is mental health month. if i don't know. we are going to be bumping here. please come to our meeting and tell others to come to our meeting. we have the mental health walk which is a free walk next month, june 1st at golden gate meadows. then we have going on at the public library mental health hope day. a series of recovery stories from nomey's free services. i will be presenti

at that workshop so you will get to see me in a different form at the main library here in san francisco june 8, from 11:00-1:00. all events at the library are free. get to the library and check it out. it is a world of of resources. a lot a lot a lot. okay. you guys, that is my report. now we will have a report from the director of the mayor's office on disabilities. >> thank you, cochair wilson. i'm carla johnson. it's good to see everybody again this month. i'm going to be keeping my report fairly brief today because we have some very important agenda items and a brief presentation on housing and from the accessible parking advisory committee meeting and i want to make sure we have time for those. at the end of my report, joanna will give us

a very short update on some of the different complaints and calls that we have received. i have two topics, the mayor's budget town hall meeting and the guardian. the mayor's budget town hall meeting has been going on the last two weeks. the last one is tomorrow from 1 is tomorrow 2 weeks. the last 1 is tomorrow from 10:00-1130 at galileo high school. 1150 san francisco street. i have attended all of the mayor's budget town hall meeting and the format has been pretty much the same at each of them. namely there are some introductory remarks by the mayor and the supervisors office and a presentation by the mayor's budget analyst and then it's turned over to public comment because the purpose of

is to hear from the citizens about their priorities for how to city spends it's money on the discretionary funding. there are some reoccurring themes at the town hall meetings. we heard from different hiv and aids non-profits and positive resources and they spoke very passionately about the need for funding especially in light of federal state cuts. the living campaign also mobilized a very vocal constituency advocating support for the b top program. this was a federal grant that was responsible for putting computers and tutors in city college neighborhood resource centers and senior centers. this is the way the technology can be a life looik -- line to

connect people that don't have access. that grant experience has expired. they have put it in their budget to continue the funding but the advocates did a very good job to make sure our policy makers understood this was a priority. there was also advocacy for continued funding for services administrated by dos including in home services and pedestrian safety was an issue across all communities. we heard from a high school student talked about her friend killed on a crosswalk. she really made the plea that everybody needs to slowdown. i mention the town halls because last year it was my observation that the board and the mayor's and supervisor really listened to people when they spoke at these meetings and they took steps to prioritize funding for these very important programs.
