some of the bleeding that's happening and the youbl i'm glad we're supporting them and there i want to see the children's funds increased and hopefully do more around transition i'm glad we're looking at gender liability and i'm glad to see we're supporting breast cancer work it's about general equality in our system and happy to see the board fund in i want to acknowledge the folks for pushing this this is the beginning but we're seeing women across the city it needs the additional support they've really tried to get through a difficult system.

for your district i'm happy to see the effort around elevator repair we know we have a lot of seniors and disabled folks that live unless in the housing authority but working only a revolving landlord you fund to make the additional fix is important. lastly i'm glad to see we're going to give an increasing for the minimum wage in november we want to make sure we have the embodiment dollars we've passed two initiatives and want to make sure we have the education dollars so the policy are fiscal it's important to have the prelims for the policy to be effective and finally thank you to our chair and other folks

4 in the morning i'm really disappointed supervisor farrell joking aside. when you look at the things that are added in the add back you'll realize the different needs we have in the city. there's not enough funding to really meet the needs of every single item but i am happy with many of the ones that are listed here the food security at the desk piece was very important, several of the supervisors have mentioned the animal care having to judge the puppy contest with 50 dogs and so many of the owners coming up to me and saying you know, i just got this dog or puppy and it was ready to

be put to sleep and there was only 3 months ago i heard this over and over again so having some additional funding having to provide staffing for the animals is important. the i am very disappointed there was no funding to provide for the early addition education piece there is no or there's so many families waiting on the waiting list for us not to put anything in there was disappointing, however, once we've passed the children's fund for the families first initiative in november i'm hoping we can catch up with some of the needs.

it was a very regarding for me to see not only the mayors budget but pedestrian safety funding for pedestrian safety issues was added back into many the district this year. so unlike last year there was some funding for pedestrian safety and probably i think it was the only district added back, in fact, this year 50 percent was centered around pedestrian safety. i'm so happy that many of the supervisors are taken care of taking this seriously for an active to ask for funding their district that's rewarding to get a sense we're all on the same page. i like everyone else i want to

thank everyone involved in the process and i do want to specially point out i'm going to appreciate my own staff one person who's been keeping track of things and jennifer lowe who stayed all night even she was sick. i'm ready to vote >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor cohen >> thank you real brief i want to acknowledge the hard work of the budget competent and also want to call out how excited i am to see a commitment to youth services and youth employment it's important this has been a tough last two weeks with

shootings in the parts of the city and cr=certainly one way to eliminate some of the violence through youth employment. it's good to see districts 9, 10 and 11 coming together to stand up for mcclaren park and acknowledge the supporting of housing. and also give voice to the contractor program that's a citywide initiative it's critical for the demonstration happening across the city and everyone particularly minority and women and veteran owned businesses can have an opportunity to compete.

hunger issues we as the board want to end hunger by 2020 this will help the seniors and people that are isolated and increase the numbers of people that are hopefully eligible for the food stamps so the half a million dollars that was added will go a long, long way for people so that no child or senior will go to bed hungry but i want to thank the grassroots coalition within the budget coalition firing strong advocacy and to the colleagues making this so smooth as well. >> thank you supervisor mar. i'm going to go into motions but a few people to thank.

you got there to get married. you go there if you want to purchase a certified copy. behind the scenes, there was just this monumental just mountain of work, the details into everything that we had to do and we quickly realized that we were not ready to issue the numbers of licenses that people are anticipating that we would need to issue. we definitely did not want people waiting in long lines. this is somebody's wedding. you want to be able to plan and invite your family and friends. know what time you are able to get your marriage license, know what time you're going to have your ceremony. >> thanks for volunteering. >> we got city volunteers, we got members of the public volunteering. we had our regular volunteers

volunteering. we had such an overwhelming response from city employees, from the members of the general public that we had way more volunteers than we could ever have hoped for. we had to come up with a training program. i mean, there are different functions of this whole operation. you were either, you know a check-in person. you were a greeter. you were part of the license issuing unit. you were deputy marriage commissioner, or you were on the recording side. each one of those functions required a different set of skills, a different oath of office if they needed to be sworn in as a deputy county clerk to issue marriage licenses or as a deputy county recorder if they were going to register the marriage licenses or the deputy marriage commissioner if they were going to be performing ceremonies. >> donna, place the ring on her ring finger. >> the marriage commissioner training was only about a half hour. it was very simple. very well run, very smooth and

then we were all sworn in. >> they said we would get our scheduled sunday night and so 7:00, 8:00, 10:00, you know, i got it at 11:00. this person who was orchestrating all of the shifts and the volunteers and who does what, you know, said from her office sunday night at 11:00. they are just really helping each other. it's a wonderful atmosphere in that way. >> have you filled out an application? >> not yet. you want to do that. >> take this right over there. >> all right. >> take it tout counter when you're done. >> very good. >> congratulations, you guys. >> for those volunteers, what a gift for them as well as us that they would take up their time and contribute that time, but also that they would in return receive so much more back because they're part of the narrative of someone else's love and expression of love in life. >> this isn't anything that we had budgeted for, so it was

basically we asked our i.t. director to do the best you can, you know, belling, borrow, steal if you have to and get us what you need to do this. and he knew what the mission was. he knew what our goal was. and, you know, with our i.t. grids and our software vender, they really came together and pulled it together for us. it made it possible for us to be able to serve as many couples as we have been. >> so once you're ready, you and your husband to be or wife need to be need to check in here and check in again, ok. are you also going to get married today? >> yeah. >> let's process you one by one. do your license in, exit and re-enter again check in at that desk. >> our wedding is at 3:00. >> as long as we get you in today. >> we're getting married at 2:30. >> don't worry about the time line. we're greeting people at the doorway and either directing

them to the services they need on this side which is licensing or the services on this side which is actually getting the ceremony performed. >> this is an opportunity to choose to be a part of history. many times history happens to us, but in this case, you can choose to be a part of it. this is a very historic day and so i'm very, very proud to be here. >> i have been volunteering. last monday i performed 12 different marriage smones. the least amount of time that any of the couples that i married have been together is two years. most of the couples have been together eight, nine, 10, i'd say 70% have been together at least that long if not longer. >> there is a lot of misconception about who gay and lesbian people are. it's important that people see that we love our husbands and wives to be and love our children and have the right to have families just like

everyone else. >> it's important that we have experienced our own families, our own friends, and the excitement of the volunteers when we get here has made us feel wonderful and accepted and celebrated. >> there is a lot of city agencies, city departments, divisions that offer up their employees to help us out since overwhelming response, it's unbelievable at how city government works. this is the time that san francisco city employees have really outshined san francisco's clerk's office didn't need to hear from the mayor to say what's your plan. they offered a plan and said here is our strategy. here is what we can do. we can add all of these computers here and there. we can connect our databases, we can expand our capacity by x. we can open up early and stay late and stay open on the

weekends. it's unbelievable. we can coordinate all of the training for our volunteers and them in as deputy marriage commissioners and make sure it's signed and certified. that's an example and a model for others. this is -- what happens is when people prove that things can be done, it just raises the bar for what is possible for everyone else. >> it kind of went cooled plan and this is what we planned for. in some respects, people have kind of commented to me, oh, my god, you were a part of history and how many couples did we mary? how many families did we start? how many dreams did we make come true? the whole part of being part of history is something that we are here and we are charged with this responsibility to carry out.

>> present i'm for the record that commissioner akers. there she is. we have quorum. i'm here, too. oh, president tan here >> so the first order of business is public comment any public comment that is appropriately to san francisco entertainment commission so is there anyone here to speak on. no so seeing none, public comment is closed. the approval and review of
