and [inaudible] regarding the abankrupt decision and announcement from the city college administration to close the tenderloin civic center campus at elisstreet and other development within the city college community. a lot changed since a number of us including i called for the cities first hear ings on city colleges accredidation crisis over 2 years ago and the crucial economic impacts that we identified from our budget analyst report thot shows how much benefit the city has because of the city college system. not just to the the city economically, but also the work force. at that time we are also learning about the anticoffs the accreding commission for the junior colleges, but we also focused on the importance of city college as a economic driver

and helping people out of pover ety in the city. we stood up to [inaudible] from english classes. english learners need and rely on city college. non credit and skill building technology class jz other courses while they don't always lead to a degree gives san franciscans the skill and job and profession develop needed. that is what st. is about reflecting the cities needs. in our bijt and legislative analyst office report in 2013 we quantifyed the econom ic impact of city college is more than 300 million kls annually to the city. 2 years later a trial brought by the city attorney demonstrated that city college was not given a fair

hearing and the accredters broke the law. the schools finances are stabilized for the time being and a turn around in state funding with prop 30 and the college has a significant reserve and the publicly elected board of strust ease has been displaced in a highly questionable process and expected to be partially reinstated again in the summer. mine while city college isn't out of the woods. it lost a unprecedented number of student, down by about 1 quarter of the accredidation crisis. the civic center campus was closed this jan displacing 1 thousand student without a time line of returning. it faces uncertainty as it moves through the next phase. i call this

the [inaudible] pilot program and any other permanent program. this proposed change will be to a poregz of the transportation code under the jurisdiction of the mta board not the board of supervisors. driving a large shuttle bus is a grueling jube with long drives and long hours. insureing the shuttle drivers are treated and comp sated fairly is a poncht component of a private shuttle program and the right thing to do. with that said, this is more about making sure the workers are treated fairly. that is important, but it goes beyond that. it is also about protecting the interest of the cities public transportation. we invested [inaudible] to develop and maintain thmpt risk if sfrike jz other labor disputes around the employee shuttle are actions that can

effect the apperation of [inaudible] and the ringe of the labor disputes should be minimized. requires the shuttle to use the stops, a demonstration will eliminate this. i work for wrbd for working with the borebd of directors and shuttle providers and representative from labor. i request your support for this >> thank you supervisor wiener. supervisor ye >> today colleagues i introduce a hearing request to the discuss the increase in property crimes including home burg laerz and thefts and vehicle threats city wide. i know we will have hearings on public safety rishues that covers a broad range of issues

i can don't try to take away from that, but when we look at public safety issues things like crimes often gets lost in the discussion so i wanted to have a stand alone hearing just on these issues. i'm hearing a lot of concerns from various neighborhood about the increase in home invasions and threat and would like to provide a opportunity to unite. to improve safety and public aware synchronize. i look forward to working with the san francisco police department and community to understand and identify solution in which both the community members and the san francisco police department can contribute to. the other thing that i want to introduce is a ordinance to firthser define the compensation and

functionoffs the children, families cancel which was stabbed through proposition c in november. the counsel and superintendent of schools brings together department heads and district heads and community members to develop a plan on how to increase a number of children and families in san francisco. the consal is also tarfcked to coordinate services to maximize support for children youth and families in san francisco and addressing affordable family housing and work force development and accessibility transit. this is a opportunity for us to be bold. we have reached a jungture in the history of san francisco where our actions determine the course of our future. we need to show strong commitment to lifting up san

franciscans and offer them a place to grow and succeed. at this time city leadership is aligned to put children and families first through the mayors cities address the san francisco unified school districts plan exists in collaborations around my bruthders keeper and efforts to pass prop c we have seen that the city makes it clear the children and families are a proret and want to take a action to improve the families in san francisco. [inaudible] people of all ages income and races. when we lose families we lose diversity. while diversity is a value to strive for and of it in itself the loss of diversity threatens the following areas, middle income jobs and workers, environment and sus stainability, social integration, social capital and

citizen engagement. our children families counsel will need to be bold and create a common sfrigz the children and families. we must set goal squz metrix that allow all our city and school district department and communities to contribute towards them. further more we maintain san francisco can only be a great city if we wetain the economic and cullturable diversity therefore our city families counsel must examine our progress through a len at all time. this is new and different and a collaboration we haven't seen codifyed before. there are many ways to

[inaudible] the rest i submit >> thank you supervisor u. supervisor avalos >> thank you i have 2 items for introduction first is a hearing-no, a resolution on pg and e and the cities negotiate of the interconnection agreement. this resolution follows last weeks closed session about the cities interconnection grievance with pg and e set to expire june 30. [inaudible] to the power. it is said to expire on july 1 and prks g and e refuses to negotiate in good faith. pg and e is trying to force to [inaudible] for decades. pg and e is also trying to make

the city pay for existing facilities the city already paid for years ago. if the city is forced to agree to the terms it will allow pg and e to export taxpayer dollars. last year there was a complaint filed thatologed pg and e unreasonable denied service to the city. it urges our state and federal representatives to express support. i want to thank cosponsors supervisor breed, compose, coen, kim, mar and wiener for your support as well. that will be going to the next weeks board meeting. the next item i have for introduction is a ordinance to

better regulate political committees that encourage someone who is not yet a official candidate to run for office. the ethics commission approved this ordinance back in 2012 in the wake of the run edrun campaign. there were 2 different committees that encouraged edlee to run for mayor. one of which was registered as a primarily formed committee and registered undeer the less rigierly regialated general purpose committee. it was named progress for all and didn't name edlee as a potential candidate. this ordinance requires these committees to register as primarily formed committee and doesn't provide the general purpose committee option. this will improve trance paerns in 2 ways. they must include the name of the candidate they support in the name of the committee and must

also file with both the ethics commission and the fppc. it is my hope that we establish clear rules of the road for such a committee that urge people to run for election. this ord njs wim also provide guidance for the ethics commission to rule on such committees in the future. >> thank you supervisor avalos. brezdant breed >> today i'm broud to join mayor lee in introducing the 10 year capital plan that will guide infrastructure investments for the next decade and beyond. it recommends a 32 billion dollars in the next decade. these funds will make san francisco a safeer healtherier and more livable city by investing in repair,

transportation improvement, safer better streets for pedestrians and new public safety and hospital facilities. the plan strikes the balance of caring for the existing infrastructure while investing in new project. the plan is fiscally impossible and not raise tax rates, raise the debt tax or impose a undue burbden. all this infrastruck chur work will create thousands of local construction job and for the first time it includes plans to address the sea level rise. the work includes large scale well known projects like the [inaudible] ret row fit quh chis underway across the street. the new trauma 1

hospital as san francisco general scheduled to open in december, transportation projects like [inaudible] central subway terminal and proceedio park way formally doil drive. the peer 1, 70 and sea wall lot [inaudible] the public safety building to house san francisco police department command setter and new southern station. nigh fire station and new ambulance deployment for the over taxed ems system. dozens of [inaudible] housing projects and the water system and sewage system improvement program. the plan also includes less visible projects like the seismic ret row fit of the fire and police stations. roof and elevator and boiler ret
