that college should have dormitories. [speaker not understood] sfo and teach there. that campus belongs to us all. instead of building jails and prisons, the options are coming. you can't evict the college, you can evict the people. [speaker not understood] and it is the 1% who is doing all of these things to ruin our great nation. thank you very much. [speaker not understood] what you say, all the way [speaker not understood]. the truth shall set you free. i was the first cheer leader before they had cheer leader tryouts. [cheering and applauding] and you know what? we're here, we're queer, we're not going nowhere. defense, man! >> thank you. [cheering and applauding] >> i want to thank everyone who has come to city hall and spoken. i do want to ask if there is any member of the public who has not spoken who would like to speak to please come up if

you haven't been able to do that. seeing if none, we're going to close public comment [gavel]. gov >> before we add anything else, i want to give supervisor mar ~ an opportunity to say a few words. and, again, thank you, supervisor mar, for your co-sponsorship of the resolution. >> sure. thank you, chair campos. (applause) >> and i wanted to first say that keep organizing and building stronger movements to make demands of the system so that we don't let privatization and the corporatization of education win. and i feel very great that -- (applause) >> all the speakers have been very clear to us as a body on what we can do as allies to support your movement building. and i'll say that papers like this resolution, someone said put teeth in it, but it's urging other bodies with power

to make decisions for justice as you are demanding. and i'll do my best as one of the 11 members of the board of supervisors to urge unanimous support as it comes to our full board. but i did want to say that i'm really, really encouraged by the young people that have taken action, occupation action, take over action, sleep over action to take back education for yourselves. [cheering and applauding] >> i'm also very encouraged by a new birth of matistas and mechas and organization. [cheering and applauding] >> the chicano and latino students for stepping up in a multi-racial organization of progressive and educational justice students at city college. and i'm really encouraged that the faculty of aft 21 is in solidarity. [speaker not understood] where i taught for 16 years, but you're showing solidarity with

faculty and staff and students and also building community support. so, i strongly support the save city college coalition aft 21 21. keep fighting and i'll be here as an ally as well. thank you. [cheering and applauding] >> thank you. thank you, supervisor mar. you know, the resolution that you have before you is a resolution that was crafted in conjunction with a very broad coalition, and we as always welcome people's input. and, so, with that in mind i'd like to make a change and an amendment to the resolution. as it's currently written, the resolution, the last sentence of the resolution reads "fully restoring the duly elected board of trustees to ccsf by removing the special trustee with extraordinary powers by july 2014." [cheering and applauding]

>> with the suggestion of many in the community, i'd like to amend it by including the following language so that it reads "removing the special trustee with extraordinary powers as soon as possible and no later than july 2014." [cheering and applauding] >> so, if we can have that motion. >> so moved. [cheering and applauding] >> so, we have, we have a motion by supervisor mar. if we can take that motion without objection. without objection , motion passes. [gavel] >> before we he act on the item as amended, i just want to make a couple of points. first, again, i want to thank the incredible community of city college, its students, the faculty, aft 21 21, all of the

community members who have rallied behind this cause. i do think that with challenge comes opportunity and this has been an opportunity to remind people what we as san franciscans are about. we in san francisco are very lucky to live in this very special place that has many wonderful things going. but there are challenges that we're facing and perhaps the biggest challenge facing not only our city, but the country is the fact that there is a growing inequality. san francisco right now is facing an affordability crisis and we actually have the second highest inequality of any major city in the united states. and, in fact, the inequality in san francisco is growing at a fastest rate than any other city in the country. for my own personal experience, i can tell you that education is the great equalizer and we cannot close that inequality, we cannot close that disparity

without city college remaining what it has been to san francisco. [cheering and applauding] >> truly, the great, the great equalizer, that's what city college has been. and to those of you who are here, who are listening, who are watching, i'd just say that this resolution is an important step, but it's only one step and we're not going anywhere until there is full restoration of democracy at city college. [cheering and applauding] >> so, with that, so, if we could have a motion to approve the resolution as amended. motion by supervisor yee. if we can take that without objection. without objection, the resolution passes and it moves forward to the board of supervisors with a positive recommendation. [gavel] [cheering and applauding]

>> so, thank you. thank you again, and we hope to see you next at the board of supervisors when the item gets voted on and hopefully we'll have a unanimous vote at the board of supervisors. mr. clerk, do we have any other business before the committee? >> no more items, mr. chair. >> committee meeting adjourned. thank you. [gavel] you. >> (clapping.) i'm kate i'm the cork of the

event for homeless connect. >> i'm and i any i want to take a few seconds before kate announcements news. this is our first event for 2014 this is the tenth year for project homeless connect (clapping) a project that started it's humble beginning in community efforts love and passion has grown into what it is today, we can't say enough this would not be enough without you coming to the event and giving your time and your ideas. this event wouldn't be what it is today, we started with 5 times a year and now we have a model people can come into the

to be out in the street. i'm glad to say we've shifted that we're moving toward a lottery people can call 311 and make a recreation for a bed now we're going to see that people don't have to be out in the middle of the night people can go and get a meal and go to their appointment and those beds are by lottery. we looked at the long-term beds users people are afraid to have a seizures or episode in a small hotel room so we're making changes inform did system interest the amazing thing i think the way our world is changing the people that have

made 311 restoration people can get a text message and know where you're going to have a bed that might. there the leadership we've opened two other shelters one hundred and 20 beds for chronically bed also between folsom we're opening 374, fifth street there are homeless people between the ages of 16 and 24 and this facility came about and people are moving into this building to have housing. so i want to take a moment and acknowledge people from houston steve and judy harris stand up

barbara garcia >> good morning how many are first time advocates. all right. so i see workday workday folks raise our hands. we hope you'll have 10 more years and hopefully by that time we'll have the opportunity to house many more people. one of the things we are going to be doing as you see the incredible amount of services but daily connect it wouldn't look like this it will be our staff going to into the shelter for signing up people for my glasses and homes. we have the advantage of getting people into one hundred percent homes.
