so at any given time approximately half of our patients in the unit are eligible to go to other plays for care. so the relationship we had for door street would put a staff member to divert those patient to that lower level of care >> but - how can the situation that we're currently talking resolve the issue of 50 percent of your patients in those beds currently doesn't have access to the community; right? and you're trying to is to me now that the arrangement will

result in the 50 periods of time to be able to have the community based resources? >> i'm in agreement we need more community based mental health services to awe - >> i can't accept that because people spent all this time negotiating but i will accept the motion that we ask the board of supervisors to maintain the psych beds or net get community services provided for. we're not going to negotiate tonight >> somebody comes to us and we want to see you, we don't go oh,

maybe a. >> this is for whatever reason even with the community it's not perfect but for whatever reason psych beds were left out of this agreement. >> i feel the same way i won't want to change the agreement at this point. >> i think we have the power to do that or why are we sitting here? >> commissioners there's another motion and a second if you could forward me those comments. as a clarification. did the rest of the board accept you're not condition but recommendation that the board

asking what's happened with the application. and i was still trying to find out in february where people tried to find out what was happening with that. of course, the scoping nose went out last october. i had a 13 page appeal on the desk that went into the motion and most of the address should be in the eir. and then the document for that appeals for the board of supervisors and it included some relevant things. and we had a lot of difficult getting the documents i sent somebody over there to get them. you know, i want to mention this

is just it's an impossible location to have this venue in terms of the accessibility and not being a lot of residents around that. i was in the 70s when we weren't talking about alcohol the whole place would block up with traffic and all the award way down to van ness. and there was no alcohol involved to speak of. and there was a great deal of information turned in previously last year about the number of historically feed back like 8 with live entertainment in 94 or 11 a big contrast or - you

>> this lodge is home to some of the best fly casting pools in the world. these shallow concrete pools don't have fish. this is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. ith was built in the 1930's and

ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. every year, the world championship of fly casting is held in san francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. >> we are here with phil, general manage of san francisco rec and parks department at the anglers lodge. what do you think about this? >> it is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast. >> there are people from all over the world come to san francisco and say this is the place to be. >> yeah. it's amazing, we have teams from all over the world here today and they are thrilled. >> i flew from ireland to be here. and been practicing since for the competition. all the best casters in the

world come here. my fellow countryman came in first place and james is on the current team and he is the head man. >> it's unique. will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. there is no complex in the world that can touch it. >> i'm here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. i'm going to suit up and next, we're in the water. >> what any gentleman should do. golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. we have equipment show up on the

9:30 on the second saturday of every month and we'll teach them to fly cast. >> ok. we are in the water. >> let me acquaint you with the fly rod. >> nice to meet you. >> this is the lower grip and the upper grip. this is a reel and a fly line. we are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. exactly as you moved your hands. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i'm a natural. >> push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. push forward. >> i did gave it a try and had great time but i might need some more practice. i met someone else with real fly casting skills. her name is donna and she is an international fly casting champion. >> i have competed in the casting ponds in golden gate

park in san francisco. i have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. i spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. it's a great place to learn and have fun. on a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. i find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. takes me out into the nature. almost like drawing art in the air. and then i can make these beautiful loops out there. >> even though people from across the globe come here to compete, it's still a place where locals in the know relax and enjoy some rely unique scenery. until next time, get out and

play!

>> today, sorry my name is kim and i will be chairing today's meeting and i am joined by the board of education commissioners, norton and commissioner mendoza and norman yee. and i want to recognize the staff at sfgtv, greg burk and tron ross. madam clerk are there any announcements? >> no, supervisor, none. >> seeing none, if there is no objection, could we call item number three ahead on the agenda. >> it is file number 1 30206 and it is the municipal transportation agency traffic calming programming sponsored by you supervisor. >> thank you. this is actually a continuation of an item that we heard back in march. and so, it is really just an update on mta's traffic calming program, particularly looking at school criteria for funding

and updated lists of schools that are receiving funding through the program and looking at potential criteria and the solutions for schools that operate near heavy traffic ar tillals by lowering the school limit where creating a school zone is not an option. excuse me. so, we do have elen robinson and reynolds as well as ana from the department of health here. >> and i have copies of the presentation that i like to hand out if that is okay. >> good afternoon, board members and supervisors, my name is ana and i work at the department of public health and i actually want to acknowledge singa from the department of the environment is also here

and we want to talk to the safe routes to school program and going to have just a few minutes to talk about the school pool and elen will talk about the capitol improvements around the schools and just to give you the overview of the safe routes to the schools. and just to establish the program need for the program, see our kids today are walking and biking to school, back in my day, there were almost, or over 40-plus walking. and now, we have less than 15 percent, these are national statistics. and these are resulting in unattended consequences we have an increase in traffic injuries and increase in obesity and decrease in the air quality and that means more traffic congestion around schools and there can be some episodes of violence in crime because there are no eyes on the street and so the safe routes to school program are part of that solution, the whole goal of the safe route to school is to

increase safe and active walking and biking to and from school. >> the health department is leading a multidisciplinary team with the agencies such as the mta and the sf environment and the police department and some community-based organizations such as the bike coalition and walk sf and the city wide program. we are currently working in 15 elementaries schools and we have one in each supervisoral district for geographic equity and the only one that we don't have is district two. and we structure the program on the international model of the five es. education, encouragement, enforcement, engineering and evaluation. this is a map of the school that we are currently working in right now. we are actually just finishing up, the school ends next week. and you can see the spread around the schools, except for

district two. right now, for the past two years, we have been doing educational classes in the classroom. we have been doing kindergarten, and first grade classrooms on the benefits of getting to and from school by walking and biking. and for each year, we have reached approximately 50 classrooms and about 1,000 students. the same for the second grade, it is a field trip about walking around the block and practicing crossing the street and addressing pedestrian safety, again also close to 50 classrooms and 1,000 students and the fourth grade classrooms we are partnered go to give a bicycle rodeo and teaches them how to wear the helmet safely and does not, a skill based rodeo and you can see the picture here on the yards of the school and teaches them how to ride a bike safely, 1,000

students. >> encouragement that is sort of the fun elements of the safe routes to school and so we do walk and roll to school day and that is the first wednesday in october. last year we had the last one yet, 8500 students and their families participated. we just finished bike to school week. we had also our best one yet, 53 schools, participated and we actually postponed it this year to not conflict with star testing. it was wildly successful because that have and it was also warmer weather and we want to set up what we called the walking school buses and bike trains and this is to establish regular chaproned groups to and from school. we want to do it on a weekly basis, but sometimes we end up doing it on a monthly basis depending on the capacity of the school. >> we need to reach the parent and the care givers when we started the program we were

doing mostly out reach to the students and we realized that they are not the ones who are making the decision about how they make it to and from school, so we are structuring our program to be more and more about the parents and the care givers, we do do evaluation of the program and student travel talleys and ask the kids how they got to and from school and do parent surveys, analyzing what their attitudes are, in the beginning when we started, the first or the top five concerns were safety of intersections and the speed of traffic and also distance and violence. when we first started violence was the number one concern and at the end of the program it has dropped to number five. actually the top three are all traffic-related. >> and we or our performance over all since we started in 2009 we have seen a one percent increase in walking, a half percent in increase in biking and one
