~ binoculars. >> are there other members of the public that wish to speak? good afternoon, supervisors. my name is jackie bryson and happy black history week. i'm coming once again to raise the issue of my concern where there is no eviction protection for people who are living in so-called supportive housing. the people who are in this housing are the most vulnerable members of our society here in san francisco in that they have come to this housing out of homelessness or from rehab or from the hospital and with unscrupulous landlords, of course, having unscrupulous attorneys, are able to find

loop holds, meaning there isn't an eviction protection for their tenants. ~ loopholes are able to indulge in retaliatory with impunity. i brought this up in december of [speaker not understood] the only way to fix this was working with the mayor's office of hope, put that in quotes, too, to come up with policies which would require those service providers to have an eviction protection for the tenants. and i see a lot of stuff in the newspaper about ellis acts evictions and owner move-in and things like that, some of which

is within the purview of this board. a lot is only a sacramento type thing. but coming up with a no-eviction from supportive housing is something which is within your purview. and i thank you very much. >> thank you very much. are there any other members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment? if not, general public comment is now closed. [gavel] >> madam clerk, could you read the adoption calendar? >> items 23 through 26 are being considered for immediate adoption without committee reference. 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 any of these items? supervisor campos? 24 and i'll sever item 25. and with that, madam clerk, could you call the roll on items 23 and 26? >> mr. president, supervisor cohen. >> supervisor cohen. >> thank you very much. there is an item number 23 that

i'd like to sever. >> okay. why don't we take all the items in order, start with item 23, madam clerk. >> item 23 is a resolution expressing support for senate bill 837, the kindergarten readiness act. >> actually, mr. president, may i make a motion to continue this item for one week? >> colleagues, supervisor cohen would like to continue this for one week. second by supervisor breed. without objection this item will be continued one week. [gavel] >> thank you very much. >> to february 11. >> to february 11. item 24, madam clerk. >> transgender and gender nonconforming youth and restore tim justice. ~ >> thank you. thank you very much, mr. president. i want to thank my co-sponsors of this resolution, supervisors wiener, president chiu, mar, and avalos. and i just -- i wanted to once again highlight this resolution because i think it's really important for us to put as much pressure on the district

attorney involved here to not press charges against a transgender young woman whose only crime was to defend herself. and the fact that the people who were trying to attack her and go after her were students that were only suspended without any criminal charges filed against them, and that you turn it around and actually, you know, present criminal charges against the victim who was acting in self-defense is just a travesty. and i think that we need to make sure that we are on record asking this da to exercise the discretion that district attorney's have to leave this poor transgender woman alone. she has suffered enough. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor campos. colleagues, on item number 24, can we take this without objection? same house same call, thank you. [gavel] >> the item is adopted.

madam clerk, call the next item, 25. >> item 25 is a resolution urging the municipal transportation agency to implement a market on the move pilot project. >> president chiu. >> thank you, mr. chair. colleagues, we have in front of us resolution to urge the san francisco municipal transportation agency to implement and market on the move pilot project with private vehicle diversions and other efforts to help improve our streets for transit riders, cyclists and pedestrians. this has been a several year conversation, in fact, in 2011 we unanimously approved a similar resolution to begin pilot studies of innovative transit policies on market street. and i know there have been a lot of community frustrations with the lack of progress in this area, which is why i have been asked by numerous transit advocates to move this forward. colleagues, i think we all share a vision of market street as being one of the world's greatest boulevards and i think we know that in order to get there we have to try new

things, particularly as we are thinking about a completely new way of how we travel on market street. so, i do hope that you'll be able to support this and ask for your support. >> thank you. madam clerk -- can we take this item same house same call? the item is adopted without objection. [gavel] >> thank you. call the next item. >> item 26, is a resolution urging governor brown and the state legislature to restore cuts to the medi-cal reimbursement rates. >> colleagues, can we take this item same house same call? without objection this item is approved. [gavel] >> and, madam clerk, do we have -- could you read the in memoriams. >> yes, mr. president. today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of the following beloved individuals. on behalf of supervisor farrell for the late mr. brian mcel roy. on behalf of supervisor cohen for the late mr. willie hunter payne and on behalf of the entire board of supervisors at

the suggestion of supervisor wiener for the late mr. stu smith. >> and, madam clerk, is there any more business in front of the board? >> that concludes our business for today, mr. president. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned for today. [gavel] [adjourned]

>> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features.

>> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had

before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay. >> this park is open. ♪ okay good afternoon,

everyone. thank you very much for coming happy new year i'm ed reiskin i'm the director of transportation and happy to kickoff the new year. san francisco has been a dynamic city during the break i was reading the history of muni how things have changed and required the city to view. we're in a lot of change including in our transportation system a lot of change is good

but it needs to be managed and it's safe and a consistent with the transit first policy. we're here to talk about that. we've got a lot of great partners partners if commercial transportation from the private be sector and companies that they service and our participates in the city. i think you'll hear from the mayor and other speakers we're chronically this issue head on and really going to address something that's are bringing benefits to san francisco and we'll continue to realize those benefits while addressing any issues that this corporate employee shuttle are bringing. without further ado happy to bring up our mayor mayor ed lee >> thank you (clapping.) well happy new year i want to

thank supervisor weiner and supervisor chiu they're for better and improved transportation tom nolan is here as well as his assumes a fact not in evidence i want to thank them and tilly. i want to thank the bay area council jim has been a great contribute to us here in the bay area as we should tell our transportation issues in the city. it's better to start up the conversation with the corporations that are employees and resident are going to figure it out better and working with the commuter shuttle companies as well as the companies that are hiring our residents.

it's a great opportunity to talk about this because guess what our transportation needs are great and we reflected that i think in a serious document we recently rolled the transportation documented that ed reiskin 2rikd so much to envisioning our needs. today, we're talking about a challenge something that is a recent phenomena but been in the eyes of the folks it's the commuter shuttle that have been taking our resident and others to their jobs and be it a silicon valley company or medical compass or university the shuttles are here and they've been helpful in that but for them possibly we could see

45 thousand additional vehicle millions on our roadways or some 11 thousand tons of cashing emissions on our streets. they've become an invariable source and i support the fact s that employees are figuring out ways to get their employees safely to work. up to this point the city was uncoordinated it was within our muni zones or on certain busy streets of our city. having said that we wanted to make a coordinated effort to capture for information to work with the companies who's employees are on those buses and work with the shuttle companies themselves why with them at a higher level coordination but

happenstance b will get you into dallas and having conflicts in those muni zones and causing problems for bicyclists or causing buses to stop if the transport lanes without coordination. i know the more recent voices have been identifying those for the purposes of political agenda and rhetoric the buses are symbolic of other things i know our transportation experts and people in the city see this as a contribution to preventing for congestion on our streets. so today, we're here to announce an agreement with the city with the participation of the company's and the bay area

council and want to thank them and the corporate leaders announce an agreement for the next 18 months we will have an agreed upon approach to the use of our muni zones with a shared use of those commuter shuttles in those zones. and we're going to focus on about 2 hundred of those zones out of the 2 thousand 5 hundred muni zones in the city. those are the ones we have studied for the past year and a half as to where the bulk of the picks up are had and we're going to coordinate this and have the cost recovery. it will be an agreement that reflects about $100,000 a year for the use of those muni zones but it will signal an

identification of the people using that. they'll have to have permission to use those zones and it will have rules that reiskin will go into but respecting the minnesota lines and a making sure that certain rules their abated but for the commuter shuttle so that they're not in the way of our muni lines and also causing any further congestion or shock to the emergency e 1906. we wanted to signal an agreement on a approach that has a set of rules and has signage to let people know they're there and also a set of rules that suggest their b be there in a times and places where they'll respect the

other modes of transportation that we want to have in the city. we think that with this coordinated approach we'll receive better data for our sfmta to consider for future improvements and have a ground function to talk with the commuter shuttle services and we'll have some good data to share with our companies with the practices of the employees and where the best pickup times and how they'll add value to a more efficient and safe transportation system. this is the purpose of today's announcement. as to begin this coordination but to get a cost recovery open that with the agreement but to signal we want to do that well, and right with better coordination with the muni zones

for picking up their employees. i think this will lead to even better situations where if it would get literally out of hand if we didn't have the dialyses that we should be having. this is a signal to everybody i think shuttles are here to stay but they've obligate to be better coordinated and aligned with our municipal system. we've studied it i know there of the a strategic study done and we're building upon that but there's been a provision in the last 2 and a half years we have some 4 hundred shuttle companies that exit in the city. we didn't know up until now where the roulettes are and the

safety practices they can be boyd by. this is a start of a coordinating body. i want to thank the sfmta as we start in coordination it may not be fast enough for everybody but we need to do this in a solid way with good conversations we expect to have like microsoft so google to xbox and all the other companies we're working with whether their employees are going south and come back and to coordinate the schedules and time framed. there are a number of companies it's not just the ones we've announced there's hospital xhupsz and orange county other campuses. we want them to make sure

they're talking with us about that information we need to improve the symptom for everyone. you mean the goal should be the same. we're trying to get people to work that's the practical part trying to make sure there isn't cross purposes on issues of safety for our muni system. i think we're going to be better at it and i think with this newly found few minutes ago and good collaboration we'll get better and i know there's a lot of questions about this and we'll be glad to answer them but we'll be glad to talk about this (clapping.) thank you, mr. mayor. i didn't mention this but you're in the muni line management system. the he men and women who work here are charged with making

sure the muni vehicles can get through the students of san francisco as efficiently as possible that's part of what we need to do to advance the policy this was adapted by the board of supervisors back in 1973 that transit policy is placed in the a charter and it's the charge of the sfmta and it's board of supervisors to implement that policy. the framework we're talking about is a permanent system is something that's subject to the approval by sfmta board of supervisors. we've been working on this idea with the private sector for the last couple of years after the good work done by the transportation authority in 2011. we have a proposal final list we'll bring to the board on january 21st. we've been keeping them updated

we went to our policy and governs committee to provide opportunity for any public comment? and ultimately that will be the board of supervisors that will adapt this to make sure we're vance the transit first policy. i'll note that while muni is by far the largest transit provider our ridership is equal to all agencies combined. if you look at the collective ridership their equality to a big part of bringing transit to the bay area in a way that compliments what the bay agency it doing. it will be the feet of the board of supervisors i'm pleased to

bring up tom nolan >> i have a good feeling about the vote on the 21st president norwegian. we want to shift the modes of transportation in san francisco to get more and more people on bikes and walking and this is an important step forward. we're pleased to be part of this and working with those fine companies and continuing to work with the bay companies. this is huge 45 thousand is not insignificant and this is a big step forward for the entire city. thank you (clapping) my so the people who are elected by the people of san francisco to represent them have been on the frontline of the concerns about the shuttles and their impacts on the neighborhoods and transit system we're fortunate

to have great leadership on city hall on the board of supervisors and the transportation commission who have been sharing their feedback and giving us their input and bringing leadership to you'll of the transportation in san francisco not the least of this issue. i'm pleased to be with david chiu >> i want to thank you and all the men and women that behind me who have addressed a series of headaches i know within councilmember kersey district. in recent years we've seen a wild, wild west open our streets this is a way to bring order to our city and asking companies to pay a fair share. the fact is the men and women

behind us have been thinking intellectually and based on facts what rules we need to make sure we're minimizing congestion on our streets and folks not to have to travel in private cars or be in vehicles where a multiple people are and our roads are are properly maintained. i want to thank all the companies with working with our sfmta and the mayor to get it right. we're going to get it right and that work will help us to grow as a 21st century. it's fitting in this press conventions you have mayor ed lee and other supervisors we

will l be asking voters to help are the infrastructure. i want to thank the technology companies and the world leading companies who are helping us and i know they'll be working side to side with us to make sure we're building a transit system for san francisco. so thank you very much for being here (clapping.) thank you, president chiu were. one of the representatives supervisor weiner not only represents the district of people who are benefiting but he's become one the regions strongest voices. he's one of the cities representatives on the city commission and he was in the task force and has become an advocate for muni and

transportation he's not miscarried to take on difficult issues and this one fits the bill i'm happy to be joined by supervisor weiner (clapping.) so as ed noted district 8 which is the castro and parts of the mission and other neighborhoods has been we've been on both sides of this issue. i have a lot of commits who rally on those shuttles day in and anti who need to get to work and we also have a lot of shuttles going through our neighborhoods that has caused concerns about the bus stops and other issue. i'm really thrilled that the mta it moving forward with a balanced prove that to have

better coordination particularly with our bus stops and making sure the shultsz can use them and have cost recovery for the use of those stops. as well as making sure that the muni buses can efficiently use them. you but looking at the bigger picture we need to stop politicizing people's ability to get to work. thousands and thousands even if san franciscans san francisco residents some people who just moved here or lived here for decades thousands of san franciscans rally on those shuttle to get to work and earn a livelihood everyday we need to stop politicizing their ability to do. we need to recognize we've also had many san franciscans who livere
