will be behind the scenes with the college trustees, faculty and others. we need to build up much more public awareness of the existence of this accrediting bode and i do everything we can to support our city college. the rest i'll submit. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor avalos. >> thank you, madam clerk. i just wanted to rise to say happy birthday to supervisor jane kim. today is hader birthday. ~ her birthday. i don't think she knew that we knew. now you know. i just wanted to wish you a happy 29th birthday. (applause) >> and the rest i'll submit. >> thank you, supervisor avalos. all of those items will be appropriately referred. mr. president, that concludes roll call for introductions. >> thank you. madam clerk, let's go to roll call. >> at this time the public may comment generally up to two minutes on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board including item number 1, the policy discussion between the mayor and the board

and items on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. please note that public comment is not allowed on those items which have already been subject to public comment by a board committee and pursuant to board rule 4.22 direct your remarks to the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors nor to the audience. speakers using translation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time to testify. and if you would like a document to be displayed on the overhead projector, clearly state such and then remove the document when the screen should return to live coverage of the meeting. >> like to hear from our first speaker in general public comment. thank you. stop the corporate [speaker not understood] of public library. don't give money to the friends of the public library. don't accept money from the public library. most people in the room know david chiu had me arrested in august of 2011. it must be understood this is part of the mechanism by which city hall thieves are respectable and honest citizens are undesirables. make no mistake, quit making public comment in city hall is coming into the belly of the beast.

it is a complete reversal of the accomplishments of democracy. marie antoinette did not have as much contempt for [speaker not understood] as a san francisco supervisor has for a citizen who is not in on the graft. actually, you're not as blatant as you used to be. city hall has become a marketplace where public officials trade public assets for the benefit of their careers. what is happening in the public library is just the worst example of what is happening in eversiti department. eversiti department wants a friends group because it is a mechanism to distribute the benefits to the few instead of the many. the few are for [speaker not understood] parties. the many can be ignored or arrested. have you walked the streets and seen the condition of the people? your division -- diversion of society's assets to corporate benefit causes real harm to people. the library, the president is guilty of official misconduct. the city librarian is guilty of

refusing to provide financial records. there is a scandal regarding the city librarians discretion fund and a pending investigation by the fed political practices commission. and the branch library is wrapping up with a complete reversal of what contemporaneously reporting showed rather than calls for accountability, the board of supervisors has a proposal to protect the friends the library from oversight. the privatization of our society not only feeds on the public's asset, p it destroys people's access to the truth. david chiu having me arrested does not solve society's problems and the lies costs more than the money. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> mr. war field, please begin

your mments. i'm peter war field, director of library users association. i thought that supervisors [speaker not understood] and london breed might stop their talking amongst themselves in the press box to pay some attention to public comment. the library unfortunately has a very, very bad record, particularly recently with respect to accountability. in february 2013, earlier this year, the library presented to the library commission the policy-setting body, a plan which the commission adopted to add 56 hours to the library's open hours system wide at a cost of about a million dollars. in may the specifics were presented to the commission for its discussion. suddenly in june, the library's

open hours additions were suddenly 36 hours, not 56 hours. and when a commissioner asked, it turned out that 20 hours had been paid by a prior action from this board the prior year. so, the three days of extra time that it opened at library branches in june turned out to be implemented in the 12th month of the fiscal year for which they apparently were funded. the budget and finance committee heard testimony from [speaker not understood] on june 19th. one supervisor who attempted to ask about the hours what were intended to be essentially they were going to be even hours cuts didn't get a straight answer about the hours. and another supervisor asked about books did not get a straight answer about what the book budget was doing, but only

books and materials. the library is [inaudible]. >> thank you, sir. next speaker, please. good afternoon, supervisor campos and supervisors. here's an old book that has a lot of memories in it. i want to show you. and there's a lot of names and notes in this book because we've been treasure hunting and all that, the schools, my mother's notes there with a metal detector. proud people you knew in the school district. in the '71 book, '70. ♪ [speaker not understood] we'll work night and day remember the budget remember to pay i've been waiting for you

with the skies above blue and the sunshine of your [speaker not understood] stay with me, my city and we're gonna make it better today and we're gonna make it better okay i've been waiting for you in the city skies above blue and the sunshine of your city [speaker not understood] and if you're going to san francisco [speaker not understood] if you're going to san francisco you're gonna find [speaker not understood] people there

and all across the nation such a strange vibration people voting america's cup boating >> thank you, sir. thank you, mr. paulson. next speaker, please. i wonder if i can show this on the screen here. i don't know if you can see the whole thing. my name is ace washington. as soon as this is on the screen, my time will start. one article -- how is everybody doing? i'm here on a mission, y'all. i'm here to declare that the african-american black negro here in san francisco, right here in 2013, we're in a state of emergency. >> if you can speak into the mic, mr. washington. thank you. here in san francisco, i, ace washington on the case in your face, [speaker not

understood] is declaring state of emergency here in san francisco, black negros [speaker not understood]. i tried to get some words from the mayor after his press conference. as usual i was smeared off by his security as if he's president of the united states. ed lee knows me. and by the way, let me get my word out, condolance to the family of the kennedys. i have a rich history of the kennedys. and i can't say everything i want to say here. back in the days there were two black african-american sisters. now we have a young early version. but this is to y'all. now, you have the ability to say something after i speak or say something. i am declaring state of emergency [speaker not understood] by the supervisor breed declares that the shrinking in black population. we're having a meeting tonight with the naacp. i'm not saying i support them, they ain't did nothing for me. there is one thing we're going to talk about. i hope the sisters are there. [speaker not understood].

my name is ace [speaker not understood] three generations under me, i'm 59 years old, yes. i have two grand kid, three grand kid, and three children that were raised in the city but can't afford it. but i'm telling you, the mayor, the supervisors, and everyone -- and i want the world to know -- i have a dee sightiontion vice and system that's called a unique system, i can push a button and let the world know what i see. so, declare we're in a state of emergency. >> thank you, sir. next speaker, please. i have some documents. my name is randal brew baker and i'm here on behalf of an organization, san francisco coalition for undergrounding utilities. the subject, appropriate to show the picture. i actually took this picture from the front window of my

home. it's not often you see repair out there. unfortunately, every day we have this ugly apparatus in front of us that's embarrassing to us and the city. we are a coalition of neighborhoods. we're growing. we want this stuff to disappear. [speaker not understood]. we'd like to see the job finished. now, i want to move on to another document which i trust you are already aware of. if you're not, i definitely want to have you know about this. [speaker not understood] submitted to the san francisco board of supervisors by its own task force in 2007 with recommendations on how to deal with undergrounding, how to make it happen in san francisco. and if it's on the internet, it has to be in your file someplace. i prefer it be on top of your de. these are recommendations out

of that document. the key notion is that undergrounding would be taken over as a project of the city. it would be administered by the city. a arely relevant example of how to do this is in san diego. it's been going on in san diego. this task force looked at san diego, used san diego as a reference point. recommendation number one is develop a long-term [inaudible]. recommendation number 3 is important, it can be funded without financial stress on anyone's back. surcharge you to be able to -- san diego surcharge is 3%. i want you to know about this. please move forward with your own task force recommendations. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. good afternoon, john [speaker not understood] from san francisco.

this is just something to think about. i call it from the past to the present. the mad man sent to the gas chambers, first by the hundreds, then by the thousands, and then by the millions. and the world cried. we gave them the homeland and they took a nation. [speaker not understood] the homeless, by the hundreds, thousands, and then millions became refugees and went mad. and the world cried again. right became wrong and wrong became right. beauty became ugly and ugly became beauty. hate became free and [speaker not understood] became twisted, and the world cried again. [speaker not understood] became glory i and gentleness became

wrong. [speaker not understood] and the world went mad. then the world stopped crying and all went. period. thank you for listening. >> thank you. next speaker, please. next speaker. my name is ryan [speaker not understood], volunteer physicians organizing committee. i'm here to speak on the general topic of mental health. we would like to extend the invitation to all the supervisors to come visit with us at s.f. general hospital with our physicians, [speaker not understood], psychiatric units. we are very much looking forward to the st. luke's and cathedral hill rebuild. however, we do want to see

mental health in there somehow going far especially with the needs only increasing. personally i'd like to say i think it's outrageous that this is now in general public comment and we cannot comment directly on the cpmc deal, especially in regards to mental health, particularly since we had 30 physicians and other members of the mental health community attempting to reach the negotiating team in regards to mental health. and unfortunately was left out because of conflicting information perhaps given by the director of public health whom we met with recently. so, we'd like to congratulate the city and supervisors on this deal moving forward, and we'd also like to stress vigilance not only on the part of our membership, but on the part of the city as a whole with regards to mental health. thank you for your time. >> next speaker.

good afternoon, my name is douglass yip and i'd like to have it on the record that for some reason all 11 of you are actually paying attention. let's go by this real fast. number one, the most honest person in san francisco is the fire department person that brought to the attention of everyone that the possibility -- possibility of an injury that was involved in the airplane crash. that person needs to be commended for such honesty because honesty is something you don't find around here very often. so, whoever that person is, thank you for being so honest. secondly, whatever happened to the employee about the school board, it says here so many felonies, three years investigation, if we can't even

take care of that, how are we going to take care of city college? next, there was this headline, did jerry brown [speaker not understood] refuse to do their jobs? i think all of you need to read that and makeup your own mind. next, grand jury report about dbi, another instance where mayor lee was asleep. he knew all about it for so many years, did nothing. please resign and save face. follow the example of your south korean counterparts, bow, admit a mistake, and be honest about it. next one is city college loses its accreditation, part of the blame -- part of the blame needs to go on the mayor's office and the board of supervisors. i'm sure everybody knew there were problems there, but everybody was way too busy working on their own special

interest projects. forget the students. [inaudible]. >> thanks. next speaker. jesus said the prince of this world comes and has nothing in me. in other words, jesus and satan are directly opposed. before we get into that i'd like to say [speaker not understood].many com is the best color, [speaker not understood] gty.org is the best preacher and you can download 3,000 of his sermonses from the first of february 1969 to last february's brought cast on satan, what is he like, michael akino. family radio is the best radio station because it's the only radio station, kear 6 10 is the only radio station that fulfilled matthew 24:14 and it's the only radio station that reads george whitfield's sermons who is the best evangelist. most importantly family radio is the best radio station

because it's the only radio station that reads the word of god hours on end. now, i'd like to laugh at and embarrass the national security agency's head michael akino and the reason why i want to embarrass michael akino the head of the national security agency, the nsa, is because general akino admitted to renting the german building where the ss reformed and he admitted this. he lives here. maybe we can get the psychiatric help the [speaker not understood], maybe we can get akino psychiatric help. i don't know. he admited in full nazi regalia reenacting the secret ceremony. what type of sick twisted individual is this? why was he the head of the nsa? okay, i mentioned when i started that satan and jesus

are directly opposed, directly opposed. jesus is the great law keeper, satan is the great law breaker. jesus christ said all of the truth hear my voice. my father will [inaudible]. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? seeing none, general public comment is closed. [gavel] >> madam clerk, can could you read the adoption calendar? >> items 53 through 56 are being considered for immediate adoption without committee reference. a single roll call vote may enact these items. if a member objects a matter may be removed and considered separately. >> colleagues, would anyone like to sever these items? supervisor farrell. >> 54, please. >> and the balance of the calendar, roll call. >> supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor chiu? chiu aye. supervisor cohen?

francisco marina harbor association, the st. francis and golden gate yacht clubs. due to construction they did all the work on the for et as well as the mayor's office of disability and the entire project team especially those people stephanie in my office who has been part of this project for before i was in office. so, thanks very much and everyone is welcome to come join us. >> thank you. colleagues, can we adopt this item same house same call? without objection, that should be the case. [gavel] >> madam clerk, could you read the in memoriams? >> yes, planning departmentthv. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor wiener the late mr. joseph ferra. on behalf of supervisor breed for the late mr. vernon ogelvie, jr. supervisor chiu [speaker not understood], and [speaker not understood]. and at the suggestion of supervisor cohen, on behalf of the full board, for the lovely former supervisor willie b. kennedy. >> thank you. madam clerk, is there any more

business in front of the body? >> that concludes our business today, mr. president. >> thank you, ladies and gentlemen. happy birthday, supervisor kim. and with that, we are adjourned. [gavel]

>> hi, in san francisco we're doing a special series called stay safe, about staying in your home after an earthquake. and today we're going to be talking about the neighborhood support center to help people find new resources when they stay in their home. ♪ ♪ >> we're here at the urban center in san francisco with sarah karlewski, deputy director of spur. we're talking about the shelter, a safe place to stay, exhibition at their center.

and part of being able to shelter in place in your home is to be able to find a place nearby where you can get the services that you might not have in your home. and that's what this little neighborhood support center is for. >> that's right. >> what are some of the services that might be provided in a neighborhood center like this? >> yeah. so, we think of the neighborhood support centers as really being homes away from home. so, after a major earthquake there is going to be a lot of confusion. people are going to need to try to meet up with other people. they're going to need a lot of information. so, a lot of what the neighborhood support center is going to provide is that information. basically we're going to be like a hub where people can come to get services, help, information, et cetera. what you see here on this table are a whole variety of did you ever rent things from tools, some walki-talkies.

this helps people know what is going on in their neighborhood. over here you have a whole variety of water and canned goods. we're really hoping that people will stock up for themselves at least for the first 72 hours if not more. i know that i have a ton of canned food and other sorts of things such as water within my own home. and everybody should, but there's going to come a time where people are going to end up running out and needing more. so, that's what we've got right here. >> so, this neighborhood support center, this doesn't look to be a major city sponsored fully stocked space. it can be a small commercial space, even somebody's garage as long as they have the information, a guide of information, who to call for what, communications equipment, some power, have a generator. >> that's right. >> thinking of lights and charge your cell phones and so on. and probably be operated by volunteers.

>> volunteers, maybe members of nert could help out, people who live in the neighborhood that have some building skill could be helpful. so, if there is a structural engineer living nearby or even an architect, they could really help people kind of understand what has happened to their homes and what sort of repairs might be needed. >> here we are with some of the things that you might find in a neighborhood support center. one thing we learned from hurricane katrina, people really rely on their portable electronics and their phone. we say here's a charging station tied up to the generation. the essential coffeepot. >> yes. >> maybe a computer, you can check your e-mail with. >> yes. we have our charging station here. and then over here you can see we've got a whole variety of things, including the all-important different tags. so, lawrence, do you want to talk a little about the tags? >> sure. people want to know what do these tags mean.

is my building safe or unsafe. these are the city owe initial tags. staying in your home doesn't require that you get a tag. it just means that you use common sense and maybe get help from people who might be around who can help you evaluate whether it's a safe place to stay. >> you might want to know because regular city services are disrupted, you might want to know when trash pick up is, if you need to get clean water, et cetera. also in the neighborhood support center, that kind of information would be available and we've got a little of that up here. >> trash pick up resumes regular schedule on wednesday. >> that's right. >> please mark your human waste. >> that's right. >> so, this is kind of an information center, communication center, also a center that hopefully will show people how to relate to their neighboring communities, what else is happening city-wide. and, of course, this is sort of the ubiquitous form of communication. my cat is missing, call me. >> exactly, because a lot of times, even if you do have a

cell phone, and people do if you're really trying to save some of your precious energy minutes, et cetera, or it's not working as well as it normally does, it is helpful to have a message board that you can get information to other people. and, so, that's what we're showing here. you can see people are going to be looking for their pets. they're going to be looking for rides. people are going to need to be sharing resources a much as they possibly can. another thing that you can see here is they're going to need to be fair tools and some of the things that people are going to need in order to be able to stay safer within their homes. so, we're just showing sort of a gesture to that with all these different tools here. but then also tarps, people are going to need to cover their windows if their windows are cracked, if their roofs are broken. so, ideally, the city would be able to know where all these neighborhood centers are and help deliver some of these supplies. >> they could come from a

neighbor, maybe not. thank you so much for allowing us to come in and share this wonderful exhibit. and thank you for
