organization that really seeks state level and our very own treasurer jose was elected which the for the upcoming year. in 2011 we voted to have 1 hundred participation that is a league for public health advocacy such physical activity and health food for all residents. the heal program respected unhealthy food and the city is host a 60 class project on cooking and smart shopping. 1 hundred and 62 cities in the state of california signed on.

we're fortunately that we have a wellness serve like stress management classes but we still estimate that 68 percent of our city employees suffer from an imagine. and we want to expand on the programs started by katherine and thus becoming part of the cities heal campaign. i want to let everyone know i support the s b-746 that passed in the assembly and was presented to governor brown and sent this letter to governor brown and asked him to sign the letter. this bill is important because we need transparence and it's needed to control the x latino costs in the state.

we want to negotiate and approve rates. it's essentially to h ss in negotiating the health contracts and this would allow them to make compared comparisons and thereby promoting balanced competitions. i think we're all in support of cost transparency and senator lengths bill will pave the way were i'm introducing an amendment inform point film rebate probation amendment. the first amendment allowed rents to be amended and structure an upcoming hbo series that will follow games in san

francisco. the series about pend over $2 million between now and november of this year here in santa fe san francisco. today, i'm introducing another production. and also to extend the program through june 30th, 2016. we represent the wave of the future our film rebate program must continue to encourage production in the city. we have a new web in television and the popularity as i went through netflix and the card series is the first of its kind to win an emmy. it continues to be about jobs in san francisco and those have the budgets similar to projects and

employ crews and strarz and we want their business. thank you supervisor farrell >> supervisor that kim. >> supervisor mar. >> thank you madam clerk. colleagues today, i'm introducing a hearing and an analysis for question of fact that studies the impacts that sugar sweden beverages are having on our health care. i want to thank the supervisors for sponsoring this request. the sugar sweentd beverages is sweet tease as well. the dramatic growth of obituary is an epidemic according to the surgeon general from 18977 to 2002 americans have doubled

their accumulation and obtain obesity and sugar sweden benches make up 10 percent of the u.s. diet but they over if you if any health benefits. many health experts who treat the children for obesity 710 displays the height drinking of 1 hundred percent fruit drinks and good ole water as well. i said to add that the american heart association say that adult women should commune more than an 6 tea respond of sugar and

men no more than 10 and one bottle of snap he will is 17 tea spoons of sugar ca can you think about that that shows you the problem have added sugar for many of our communities. had he this costs argue health care system a tremendous amount of money some say it's $24 billion at the height care level. so not only do we have a public height epidemic with obesity it's an impact of costs on our health care system. san francisco must understand the total cost of high sugar consumption we need to quantify the scope and the means to

address it. my requests will ask 3 basic questions what does the scientific research talk about the high sugar benches number it what's the long term financial risk that the cities have related to health care costs and 3 what policies and other cities and states had mitigating it's impact. i'm grateful for my colleagues and staff with a board public health coalition of not only great health institutions but grassroots and parents organizations that address those issues everyday. hopefully with this study and the hearings we can work together and shape up sf to

decreases the con simplification of sugar and reduce the obesity and reduce the health care costs to our city >> thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor wiener >> thank you madam clerk. >> i have a few things today. first, i. calling for a hearing to assess the impacts of the currently proposed revised dog management plan that the golden gate recreational area just released this has been over 15 years and has come to the board. you'll recall colleagues, i offend a resolution e opposing

the 2011 of the plan. i have a lot of respect for this organization they manage a lot of the properties in san francisco and north and here but this proposal will reduce dog access on those properties. very significant areas that will be completely off limits to people with dangers. we will see is significant impact on the ability of many, many sfogz to access those recreational lands with their dangers. we will also see a significant impact on our city parks as many people with dangers who use to go to for con places now use the parks payroll so the purpose of

hearing is to learn about and for the public to learn about the revised plan. what has changed since the last version. as well as to learn about the impact on our parks. this is an important subject inform many san franciscans. i also. introducing legislation today amendment our combat fee legislation. you may recall when we approved a mission bay project there was confusion about whether the mission bay projects were responsible for the impact fees and it turns out it inadvertently granted a permission to mission bay. when the bay policy was daumentd

in the 1990s they were granted a 10 year exemption for their agreement to build roads and that was supposed to expire in 2012 and instead we inadvertently made it permanent so it this will remove that and they will have to pay like everyone else. finally i have a memoriam. eddy passed away tuesday and she was a native that congratulated from san francisco. she was a figure out child born to her parents in 19421928 she was a loving wife and a discovered mother to her 5 children. in 1985 she began volunteering
