experience. and the reason they teach you that is that you save a lot of money and they give you a time to figure out where you're going next. so, i have a deep stake in whether this community college lives or does not live. so, for me it's really, really important that, a, we have a democracy and that we have the people back, restore the duly elected board of trustees, and b, i'm very, very happy and applaud mayor lee and senator leno for suggesting legislation going forward to make sure that there is enough money for city college. city college is a vital, vital part of our public education system. it's for all of the kids of san francisco. it's for seniors, it's for veterans, it's for everybody else, but literally middle class or low-income person in san francisco today cannot afford a four-year college. so, city college is absolutely vital as a piece of the puzzle so make sure people get education. thank you. >> thanks. next speaker.

thank you. my name is pam [speaker not understood]. i'm the president, board chair of the chinese progressive association and i want to be able to speak in support of campos -- supervisor campos' legislation. i want to be able to speak in terms of the community perspective and as community, people always have access to expressing their views when we have our elected board of trustees. and now we don't have that kind of access any more. and we have a lot to say. and some of the things that we really care about in preserving, not only in terms of the credit classes -- i'll go back to that in just a moment. but the value of city college to be able to provide education and services that fall under the category of noncredit classes. and i'm very concerned that our ability to be able to

communicate, the richness and importance of these kinds of courses will be denied us and we will lose them. the second party want to as a community representative to speak of is of the access, affordable access and access of students to be able to go to city college. i see that there's been legislation which making it very hard for students to be able to get their waivers. and these things, we need to be able to have a voice to stop the continued limiting of the access and finally, city college made a difference in my life. and i want to be able to maintain that and to be able to have access for everybody to the kind of courses that changed my life in areas of humanity, et cetera. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is james tracy. i'm a city college alumni, proud, went there for many years. city college allowed me to work

full time while i put myself through college and allowed know figure out the course of my education because in the early 20s should be no surprise, i like many other people didn't know exactly what i wanted to do. and it gave me high quality top notch education in every single way. every single last program that is shaved from city college is picked up -- will be eventually picked up by the private sector. the only difference, the private sector is going to produce education with a profit note i have in mind, meaning that people like myself, young people -- young people that are taking advantage of these different programs will leave with much, much more debt and that is something that everybody left, right and center on this board in the state of california should oppose. we should [speaker not understood] agenda. i have no idea why there is a conspiracy of all these poor profit collegeses getting

together and saying, let's influence the state of california to downsize. i have no idea. i'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it's very clear who profits when city college loses. >> next speaker. hello, my name is john rizzo, i'm a member of the board of trustees city college. i'm here to speak in favor of supervisor campos' resolution. it is time to bring democracy back to city college, to bring the college back into the control of the people and residents of san francisco. what is going on at city college right now is very similar to what is happening in michigan. in michigan, there is a state law called emergency manager law and they are -- the governor can take over a school district or even a city council or a county for whatever reason he wants and it's being done.

this is what's being done here. we have a single person running a district in a back room. and what we've seen in michigan is that the emergency manager does not do a better job than the elected representatives that the people put in place, the people who put -- people who are accountable and who report back to the voters. in michigan we are seeing that these problem cities and school districts, in some cases are being made worse with the emergency manager. without the public, without the public input and without the public accountability. here at city college, we're seeing some disturbing things, headlines in the news recently about secret promotions. this kind of thing used to happen 10 years ago and we put a stop to it. the elected members of the board of trustees put a stop to it and now we see other things being done in the back room. it's happening again. we the board left the district

with a large surplus, plus a $6 million reserve fund and the people in the back room took that and they are in a situation now where the college needs millions and millions more in funding and so we can see that as in michigan, the people here have not solved the problem. thank you. >> next speaker. good afternoon and thank you to the supervisors and supervisor campos and co-sponsoring wiener, yee, and avalos for presenting this resolution today. my name is alisa messer, i'm president of aft 21 is 21 which represents the faculty at city college of san francisco. and i wanted to say, first of all, that we have had tremendous support among the board of supervisors for city college of san francisco. i'm not standing before you here today to tell you about how important the college is or

to tell you that thing that the college are not complicated. things at the college are complicated. however, there are some thing that everyone i hope on the board of supervisors and in san francisco should be able to agree on. one of them is funding, increased funding for state college of san francisco and another is that we should be looking to restore that the time is right and the time is now and we should be working to restore our democratically elected board of trustees. there are many things at city college that have gotten better of late, but there are many more that have gotten worse. and, so, this idea that somehow we need someone from outside to do the work of our board of trustees is simply unacceptable. we should have democracy in san francisco. it's something that we all value and there are many things that we must do to move city college forward over the next months and years and this is one piece of that. we need our board back and we

need all of san francisco able to see what is happening at city college of san francisco and able to weigh in on the important decisions that will shape this college's future. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. good afternoon, board of supervisors. this is neil malloch. i want to read a statement. san francisco bay bridge, [speaker not understood], governor of california, tireless leader of the city of this state, [speaker not understood]. this is all on a plaque, official plaque, an official state property at the entrance to the bay bridge rededicated by the citizens of california on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the opening of the bridge. we have seen outrageous event take place today that tramples over all of this statement.

now, who was sony jim rolph? just to refresh your memory, there is a photograph outside the door of this chamber, large group of chamber ~. in the center of the podium is james rolph, mary of san francisco. on his right is james phelan, a predecessor mayor who laid the plans for modern civic center and modern city. the two of them are responsible for all this. rolph himself took particular pride in city hall. he used to like to brag that it was higher than the capital dome in washington. and he also had his name overlooking the rotunda, if you look at the rotunda in city hall his name is in bold letters. just a reminder. >> thank you. next speaker. and if there are any other

members of the public that wish to speak, please step up. good afternoon. my name is roger scott. i've been a teacher at city college since 1972 and i've been on the executive board of local 2121 for more than 35 years. i'm assuming i'm speaking to the [speaker not understood] and that's good because as a unionist and social activist i don't get that opportunity too many times. but i can't imagine your not supporting this enlightened democratic motion. city college, like community colleges, is a very democratic institution. community colleges lead the way in changing the lives of people who don't have that many opportunities. i love the institution. i've been there, as i said, many, many years. i also finished the -- i got a certificate in parallelism in city college the same semester i got a ph.d. and the parallelism certificate has been much more useful to me in life.

i could -- i think -- in fact, i've been critical of the board. i think when we were besieged by the vandals on the accreditation commission, the board was traumatized by that and at one time i said our board has shown almost as much integrity and authority as the vishi government under nazi occupied france. i have been critical of the board but the board is a democratic institution and we need -- we need that institution. one simple example where the college didn't function very well under one [speaker not understood] when we were negotiating this year, we ran into problems. and in the past whenever that's been the case we've gotten together with our labor and community allies and had a session -- had sessions with the board and we moved forward very quickly and the process worked. this time it didn't. another example, if the board were functioning we wouldn't have had the college spending

$500,000 on advertisement to increase enrollment at the same time the administration was drastically cutting classes. >> thank you. next speaker. [speaker not understood]. hello, mark farrell else legislation i'm definitely in favor of t. i do want to apologize about what i said about the high team several years ago. i think sometimes people just need help ~ and we don't really want to hear excuses, you know, somebody who is really active

trying to put their lives together. they need -- they need help. they don't need excuses. but i approve of mark farrell's legislation. i think it might need a few tweaks in that they might need more freedom on how and where they spend their funding because the high team had several programs for the people to give them new ideas and new points of references and they helped them get out. i think the other thing i need to consider with the high team is we need to give them a little bit more freedom as to how and where they spend their money regarding what type of s-r-os to get because it's another -- it's another major issue where we have housing that is just not up to any decent or reputable standard. working elevators, i mean, the

sd card has working elevators. they started to use the lsa [speaker not understood] for vacuum cleaners and miscellaneous goods, insulin needles, bathroom, just basic nuts and bolts, filth inside the s-r-os that need -- that hopefully we're starting to clamp down on. i think this is a step forward and hopefully that we can bend the loop and interact because we need -- we need the voice of the homeless to help the homeless as well as these people with these statistics. >> thank you very much. let me ask if there are any members of the public that wish to speak in general public comment, please step up. good afternoon, supervisors.

my name is jackie [speaker not understood] and i want to wish everybody a happy black history month first and foremost. i also needed to bring to your attention again the need to develop protocols, procedures, et cetera, to protect the most vulnerable group of people in the city, and that would be the people who are for all intents and purposes hostages in so-called supportive housing. so, there needs to be a zero eviction policy for supportive housing. it doesn't make any sense to take a formerly homeless person and make that person homeless again. it just absolutely makes no sense. there are a number of nonprofits which are unscrupulous landlords who are taking advantage of the fact

that there isn't even a loophole to prevent them from evicting formerly homeless people. now, since it appears to me that the board of supervisors need to have a counter prop to get things done, i have filed placed against the city and county of san francisco, the department of human services which is now the human services agency, the department of public health in regards to their failing to provide effective oversight where 12 l is concerned. and given the fact that the series of filingseses took place on december -- i'm sorry, that was january 29, 30, and 31, these have all been consolidated into one case no.. so, maybe now you'll get something done. thank you. >> 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 now closed. [gavel] >> madam clerk, can you read our adoption calendar. >> items 16 through 24 are being considered for immediate adoption without committee reference. a single roll call vote may enact these item. if a member objects a matter can be removed and considered separately. >> colleagues, would anyone like to remove any of these items. supervisor cohen? >> thank you very much , mr. president ~. i'd like to remove item 16 and send to committee. >> okay. supervisor kim. >> thank you. >> i would like to add my name as a co-sponsor to 18 and 20. >> supervisor avalos. >> [inaudible]. >> okay. so, first of all, item 16 will be sent so committee, madam clerk. >> mr. president, after i read that item, item 16 is a resolution expressing support for senate bill 837, the kindergarten readiness act. >> okay. and why don't we sever item 18 on, the remainder of the adoption calendar.

madam clerk, if you could please call the roll. >> on items 19, 20 2, 1, 22, 23 and 24, supervisor tang. >> aye. >> tang aye. supervisor wiener? wiener aye. supervisor yee? yee aye. supervisor avalos? avalos aye. supervisor breed? breed aye. supervisor campos? campos aye. supervisor dado? >> aye. >> supervisor cohen? >> aye. >> supervisor cohen aye. supervisor farrell? farrell aye. supervisor kim? kim aye. supervisor mar? >> aye. >> mar aye. there are 11 ayes. >> resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> and if you could call item 18. >> item 18 is a resolution urging the secretary of state and the united states department of homeland security to grant temporary protected status to the philippines in order to support the recovery effort in the aftermath of super typhoon haiyan. >> supervisor avalos.

>> thank you, president chiu, and thank you for your co-sponsorship of this resolution as well as supervisor kim for your co-sponsorship as well. i brought this resolution forward because it is a critical issue that is before the filipino immigrants who are here in the united states. many of them are undocumented. it is actually in the capacity of the department of homeland security to grant temporary protective status to people who [speaker not understood] with other victims or communities impacted by disasters like in haiti as well as i believe syria, another place syrian residents, immigrants are a group of people gaining protective -- granted temporary protective status. the typhoon haiyan in the philippines was three months ago. we all knew the devastation was great. but it continues to this day. there are 4 million people who are homeless. there are 16 million people overall in the philippines who have been impacted by this.

and what temporary protective status would do would make sure that people who are living and working, filipino immigrants who are living, working in the united states would not be deported. and we're able to actually able to remain here in the united states to work if they're working and often work as they do [speaker not understood] ~ they send back to help with the rebuilding effort. people who are homeless, and intern refugees in the philippines, it makes sense that we actually safeguard people here rather than deport them to a place where they would probably not find, in many parts of the country, a place to call home. so, colleagues, i hope you can support this urgent resolution. and just to let you know, members of the community are meeting with senator boxer and feinstein. they met yesterday enter offices and will meet tomorrow

in in los angeles. congressman pelosi as well has been urging this type of ~ granting of temporary protected status as well. thank you. >> thank you, colleague. can we take this item same house same call? without objection, this resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> and for item 17, which we may have skipped over, if we can take this item same house same call? without objection this resolution is adopted. [gavel] >> and, madam clerk, can you read the in memoriams? >> mr. president, today's meeting will be adjourned in memory of all individuals who have been called, but there have been no memoriams introduced for today, mr. president. >> thank you. and is there any more business in front of the board? >> that concludes our business for today, mr. president. >> ladies and gentlemen, we are adjourned.
