>> yes. we just approved the conditional use authorization as well. thank you. madam clerk, please call the next item. [pause] >> the next item is going to be the roll call for introduction of new business. supervisor kim, you're first up to introduce new business.

>> thank you, madam clerk. just give me a moment to pull up. okay. colleagues, i am introducing two hearings today. the first is a hearing on the tenderloin pit stop which is a pilot program that our office spent the last two years working on which began over the summer. it is a pilot program to help address the clear need forest room facilities throughout district 6. it is one of the top concerns that our office feels, some are residents, a proliferation of human and dog waste on city street. public works and 311 ha confirmed our district receives the most calls for service of any district in the city. in 2012 my office began stay with us. discussing the potential for pilot with dpw that could address the need for public rest rooms, but provide the monitoring that it needs so the rest rooms aren't used for uses

other than for people ewing the bathroom. in the end, and then over the two years, we spent time looking for funding source he. in the end, public works is able to put together a data-driven proposal with three staffed portable toilets in the tenderloin based on area in the neighborhood for steam cleaning and enhanced serve is he. we were able to work with dpw to complete the funding for the pilot. in partnership with our office and much community outreach, we began the six-month [speaker not understood]. it offers a triple combo much youth hypodermic needles. now the pit stops are available on a limited basis ~. based again on the initial surveying of our neighborhood.

they are trucked in and out every day and serviced every night the next afternoon. what makes this program different and i think successful is these put staffs are staffed the entire time they're out in our neighborhood. this ensure they're use and kept clean for those who need it. the facilities are well used. at the three location that go by, nearly doubled when the first program in july. residents and worker alike say this ha made a real difference in the neighborhood and there is a real need for clean and safe public rest rooms to provide people a dignified place to go. at the same time the use has gone up, the request for steam cleaning has gone down in the tenderloin. that is significant because most of us steam cleaning requests specifically pertain to human feces in the public right-of-way.

prior to the tenderloin pit stop they averaged [speaker not understood] in our neighborhoodv now they're down to 17. in addition during the first 14 weeks of pilot, 275 deposits were put in the appropriate receptacles, not left in our streets. the public works has identified 155,000 to fund this project through january. as we near the end of the six-month trial, our office seeks to take a closer look at the tenderloin pit stop to assess its effectiveness and what if any tweaks we should consider to continue and possibly expand it to neighborhoods like 6th street and the south of market where we also experience a high volume of service calls. we want to discuss whether this program would work in other neighborhoods, whether we should adjust the hours or days and what the financial cost would be to move forward and how we can leverage other city resource he to augment this

program like the existing j.c. [speaker not understood]. to the end i'm interested in hearing the results with a presentation from dpw on what resource he are being employed, the costa analysis of the pit stop after the six-month trial and what staff ha to continue a safe and clean public toy will the program and possibly expand to other neighborhoods in our city. the second hearing that i'm introducing today is a hearing on police redistricting. as many colleagues know, similar to the board of supervisors, sfpd also engages in their own redistricting process, particularly a the population changes and also calls for their services through their different stations. one of the most important issues in our district as well is public safety. regardless of your income, the neighborhood you live in, whether you are a young family or senior, every resident wants to feel safe walking through their streets and every neighborhood wants to end

criminal activities that they witness in front of their doors. just last week at a neighborhood meeting, we witnessed seniors tell stories about how they were unable to enter or exit their own apartment building because of entrenched drug dealing [speaker not understood]. a father who was mugged and robbed of over $700 when he went to the corner store to buy a money order to send to his family abroad. the key people that we rely on to keep us safe are our invaluable first responders at sfpd, but they cannot do their jobs effectively if they do not have sufficient resource he to address the level of need in their police stations. as many of you know, district 6 ha some of the most challenging neighborhood in the city when it come to public safety. whether we talk about 6th street, hot spots in the tenderloin just to name a few. between the tenderloin police station which covers .3 square miles and serves a little over 20,000 residents and southern station which covers 2.9 miles

and serves over 26,000 residents, there is a crime rate of over 176 crimes for every 3,000 people in just the month of april this year. if we compare this with other stations such as kara val which had only 2.6 crimes per thousand or even richmond station at 9.52 or bayview 8.6 per thousand people, we want to make sure that there is a process that ensures resources are properly allocated as there are changes throughout san francisco. as i mentioned section 28.90 of the san francisco administrative code requires boundary of police department station be reviewed at least every ten years and establish factors for consideration as well as a process for adjusting the boundary lines. today i'm calling for a joint public hearing of the board of supervisors and the police commission that will ask the questions that residents of our city want and have been asking about.

how ha the population grown since the boundary were established in 2008, where parts of the city experience density of criminal activity and what types of resource he are needed to effectively address this activity. i believe that our members of this board are interested in making sure that they, their offices and their districts have input into this process and i want to recognize and advance chief sur and chief commission president sues i loftus ~ to this joint hearing and i look forward to working with them on this important issue and the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor mar. >> submit. >> thank you, supervisor mar. supervisor wiener. supervisor yee. >> thank you, madam clerk. today, colleagues, i would like to adjourn our meeting in memory of paula minkus. she passed away actually

several weeks ago and when she was traveling in england. paulas was a second generation san francisco native where she grew up in the richmond district and lived her entire life, adult live on union street in russian hill. paula was married for 48 years to ken minkus and had two wonderful daughters tracy and jill and four grandchildren, leo, evan, carmen and ivy. paula began her career in child care in early 1970s as a parent volunteer at the telegraph hill cooperative nursery school. paula went back to school at night and earned her b.a. from antioch university and her california preschool teaching credential from city college of san francisco. she then became a teacher at telegraph hill nursery school. eventually she cofounded the full day pre-school and after

school programs at telegraph hill children center and became the children's center director. this is where paula served this community for over 25 years and this is where i actually met her in the '80s. and through the two decades, over two decades that i knew her, i got to know her pretty well as an advocate for this particular community and for child care worker in general. we would meet week after week to discuss things of how can we bring serve is he to our city, how can we improve the services for preschool and child care and how can we eventually launch battle where how can we professional eyes people that take care of these children by giving them respectful wages, which we eventually won

envelope this city, developed a program that gave child care worker up to $5,000 when they were only earning 16,000. it was something that we started in the city using general funds and eventually it became a ram throughout california. well, i was sitting around a table one night with my family and we were talking about what i'm going to do. i said i'm going to do a memorial for paula minkus. my daughter said, wasn't she my teacher in preschool? i said, yeah, how do you remember her? well, her comment was, yeah, i remember her. she was so nice. i said, but she always talked to me and so forth. it struck me that all this time my relationship with her and how i know her as an advocate,

and yet a four-year old could remember an individual for their kindness. this is the type of person paula was, somebody that can fight and at the same time care about kid. so, she rounded out her career as a director of city college of san francisco's family center and beside her family and career, paula had a love for vacation, drinking white wine with ice, she will be missed by her family and many friends and colleagues. so, the other thing i wanted to introduce was a resolution for free muni for seniors, for seniors and people with disabilities. colleagues, in spring of this year i stood with organizations

representing seniors and disabled communities to encourage the sfmta board to offer free muni for seniors and disabled people. while hundreds of people testified in support of the program, the sfmta board of directors decided to only include the program in their budget pending the determination of the agency's fiscal health in january 2015. the voters of san francisco's overwhelmingly approved proposition a on november 4th guaranteeing critical funding for the sfmta and january is fast approaching. therefore, colleagues, i stand here today or i'm sitting here today with the sfmta through this resolution to keep its commitment to the senior and disabled community and implement a free muni program that encompasses seniors and people with disabilities. there are many challenges that seniors face living on a fixed income.

even the current fare $1 can be a hurdle to doing important thing like going to the doctor's appointment, visitling sick friend or maybe even participating in civic life by attending this board meeting like every one of you today. finally, i know that the mta budget is still limited and there are many more requests for funding than there is funding available. so, i hope the mta board can go as far as they can in terms of serving our seniors and disabled population. and i remain committed to continue to support all efforts to raise money for sfmta. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor yee. supervisor avalos. >> thank you, mad avenue clerk. colleaguesv, i have three hearings that i'm submitting today for introduction. the first is a hearing request on muni equity strategy and prop b which was passed by the voters this last election ~. this past year, while working

on a charter building equity analysis, equity distribution of revenue for muni projects, the municipal transportation agency had to work for many months to actually do some real work about how they're actually meeting the needs of low-income people and people of color here in san francisco and that great analysis has led to a full work to make decisions moving forward. now they have new funding coming to the mta to about 22 or $23 million a year, i believe. they want to make sure those new fund are going to be distributed in a way that meets the work that the mta had done with community groups in my office over the last few months. so, i look forward to a full discussion about that and making sure we can hold the department accountable to goals it set for itself working with the community. i also have a hearing request

looking at the impact of the minimum wage on the delivery of services in san francisco. we know that a lot of services are carried out by nonprofit organizations and we know that a we're increasing the cost of doing business in the city that it gets translated to worker salaries through the minimum wage ordinance that we approved. we also need to make sure that small businesses, especially in our corridors that are not doing so well, have access to services and resource he the city provides so they can actually thrive more readily in neighborhoods like the excelsior district and i'd say in parts of taraval and sunset, visitacion valley and bayview ~. and there needs to be a really evoke bust effort from the city to make sure that these small businesses can apprise themselves of what's available for services. so, this hearing request will call in the office of economic

and workforce development, the controller's office, mayor's office to talk about how the impacts can do to make sure we can implement the minimum wage program effectively, that we can support small businesses as they're transitioning to this higher salary. and most of all we want to make sure that we have a very bust effort to enforce the program. that's my third hearing request, a we're giving greater mandate for the office of labor standards enforcement, that we have that office staff at the level, that's going to be matching all of its mandates. so, right now the office of labor enforcement is carrying out paid sick leave ordinance, prevailing wage and how prevailing wage is being conducted in the city. it's also doing enforcement on health care security ordinance and our wage theft task force, ordinance as well as family workplace ordinance and the

staffing level ha pretty much stayed the same so i think we're scratching very thin the ability to carry out its work. i think it's important that we look at staffing levels to make sure that these ordinances can be carried out effectively and that the benefits that we expect to be given to workers is carried out. so, look forward to these hearings going forward and the rest i'll submit. >> thank you, supervisor avalos. supervisor breed. >> thank you. colleagues, today i have one in memoriam. it's an in memoriam for the life of senior master sergeant william custer bill casey. i want to acknowledge senior master bill custer and other members of the yancy family in the audience. they waited. our colleagues extend our heart

felt condolance to you during the time of your loss. our community will remember william for years to come. he was not only a dedicated citizen of the u.s., but an honorable man who was constantly being recognized. he was enlisted in the air force in 1954 and then served in the combat support group of the vietnam war. he served our country for 20 years on active duty and another ten years in the air force reserves. he has received numerous category a letters of commendations, acknowledgments and appreciations for all levels of command at the headquarters, first flight fighter wing air defense command, hamilton air force, and was awarded the air force commendation medals and ribbon for superior performance, proficiency and outstanding achievement. mr. william is also recognized and appreciated for negotiating the support agreements for 47

organizations supported by the 46 61 air base group ~. before retiring in 1975, he worked with car-car electronics as well as the united states mint. he is survived by his ex-wife mrs. helen yancy, their children and countless other family members and friends who were greatly inspired by his courage and bravery to take the initiative and spread his love for others. thank you for joining us here today. thank you for your patience. and, colleagues, if we -- i'm submitting this in memoriam on behalf of my office and the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor breed. president chiu. >> thank you, colleagues. i have one item which will probably be my last introduction. this is an accept and expend up to a half $34v ~ of the san

francisco parks alliance, for the children's play area one of my favorite projects in the district. and with that i do not have any other item to affirm, madam clerk. >> thank you, mr. president. supervisor cohen. >> yes, colleagues, i'm introducing a hearing today on the local impacts of proposition 47 which was just passed by voters a few weeks ago. the proposition reduce he the most "nonserious and nonviolent property and drug crimes" from a felony and a misdemeanor. that allows for inmates sent convicted downgrade to misdemeanors which is estimated -- which is estimated to amount to about 10,000 state inmates. now, the projected savings is up to $250 million from the initiative, will be channeled

into safe neighborhoods and schools fund for items including anticrime programs as well as truancy prevention programs. i'm requesting this hearing to better understand the impacts of how those proposition will have an effect here in the city and county of san francisco, particularly how we can begin to generate a greater return on the investment in public safety with this projected savings. this hearing will include a presentation from the sheriff's office, the police department, the district attorney's office as well as adult probation. madam clerk, the rest i submit. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor farrell. seeing no other names on the roster that conclude the names on the roll call for new business. >> colleaguev, why don't i suggest we go to general public comment and i just want to note, i know we have passed over item 38 to 40 consideration of those items are contingent of our approval of item 45 and the adoption of that in the reference calendar. at this time, madam clerk, why

don't we go to general public comment. >> at this time, the public may comment generally for up to two minutes on item within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board including the mayoral appearance today and item 45 whether or not the board of supervisors should convene a committee of the whole today. and also on the item on the adoption without reference to committee calendar. public comment is not allowed on item which have already been subject to public comment by a board committee. please direct your remarks to the board as a whole and not to individual supervisors and not to the audience. speakers using translation assistance will be allowed twice the amount of time to testify. if you would like a document to be displayed on the overhead projector please clearly state such and remove the documentary move back to the screen to return to live coverage of the meeting. >> and with that, i just want to reiterate, this is also the time to comment on item 45 which would have the board sit as a committee a a whole to select an interim board president. i want to emphasize the public comment on item 45 should be confined to the question of whether or not the board should

sit as a committee of the whole to select a board president. if the board approves item 45 there will be another opportunity to have public comment about who should or should not be elected to board president. so, with that why don't we go now to general public comment. sir. yes, i'm gathering my thoughts, have to pack two hours into two minutes. give me a second. they gaped upon me with their mouths as a ravening lion. this is [speaker not understood] excellent profit 3,000 years ago about the crucifixion of christ. in som 22 jesus quoted the som probably in his entirely but the first verse he identified it as a messianic som.

~ psalm. how did the enemies describe him as a ravening and roaring lion? when i was a kid i used to watch a show mutual of omaha's wild kingdom. they would have a lion run after a cheetah or gazelle. words are powerful. the bible says dogs have surrounded me. bulls of bashan have surrounded me. they pierced my hands and feet and tell all my bone, they look and stare upon me. they part my garments and cast lots for my yves tour. how is this fulfilled five years later? the last verse in psalm 22 they will declare his name to people

born a thousand years later. we read they divided his garment and cast lots that it might be fulfilled. scribes and others said himself he cannot save. if he's the king of israel, let him now come down from the cross and we'll believe him. he trusted in god. let him deliver him. >> next speaker, please. good evening again, supervisors. san francisco gladly welcomes all the help we can get to combat congestion on our streets and highways. this ride sharing vehicles/taxi, however, passengers rely on ride share and operations are rolling the dice with their life. the following facts for turning to ride sharing and some measures that i believe need to be taken immediately, let's

have an explicit understanding that it is against the law to operate any business without a business permit. any vehicle performing commerce in san francisco must be certified and have appropriate decals, affixed in such a manner identification numbers are clearly visible from a distance of at least 35 feet. this should also pertain to vehicles that are performing recycling activity and for limiting service that have elected to conduct services as a taxi. any self-employed individual in san francisco irrespective of which state the company might be based in must be required to obtain a permit to combat [speaker not understood] in san francisco. there is no distinction between ride sharing operation and sub-hollers. i recommend that all have ivxes not in compliance with the city

and state and federal regulation in san francisco should cease and desist until such time they are in compliance ~. thank you very much. ~ haul r >> thank you, next speaker. good afternoon. good afternoon president chiu and supervisors. ♪ if the city don't mind and those items do shine and you're feeling kind of kind oh, won't you president chiu stay [laughter] ♪ a little bit longer please, please, please, plea ~ gonna stay and if you're feeling kind of kind you can have a little more wine and the city's gonna be looking real fine
