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 row fits in buildings

through the city and 129 million dollars in ada upgrades. as a former non profit director who is in charge of managing one of the city owned facilities that included issues with the elevator, issuewise the boiler system, issues with infrastructure it is exciting to see a significant investment. however i do have serious reservation about the praublgect in the plan, inthe new jail proposed as part of the hall of justice. a large portion of the population is there because they have a mental health issue or cant pay bill. i know it can be difficult to factor mental health into a intrastructure plan, but i think we need to be sure we are doing everything possible to reduce unnecessary

incorns ration and provide effective services to those suffering from mental health problems. if we build a a92 jail, insure we are building not only the right size jail, but the right kind of jail. if that means the jail should also be a certified mental health facility than let's make it happen. i will continue working with advocates and the city departments on this issue but that project aside i'm proud to support the plan. we see the transformation of san franciscos roads, parks safety buildings and libe raerds and cultural institutions going on all around us. these improvement are possible because san francisco voters have consistently supported the policy and bonds that make this

happen. they are leaders in city hall heard the message and crafted plans for more suitable and resilient san francisco. the capital plan process is a testament to what san francisco-to what makes san francisco so strong. we work together, anticipate challenges and allocate the resources to meet those challenges. as president i sit on the capital planning committee and see this process first hand. i am proceed of the plan we created and look forward to working with my colleagues, the mayor and san franciscan as we create better hospitals, roads, muney services and parks while protecting the city from earthquake, fire and rising sea levels. thank you. the rest i submit >> thank you madam prez dbt. supervisor comps >> i have brief item and i want to thank you supervisor kim and president breed who had been working on this item and

this is something on isue that came out of a hearing that was forwarded by supervisor kim and folks may have read. there was a front page story inch the examiner about the fact there are many families that are homeless in san francisco that face very difficult challenges as they try to obtain a shelter bed in the homeless shelter system often times having to choose between a shelter bed and whether to pull the kid from school. that has to do with the fact that some of these families feel compelled to pull their children out of the school system to make sure they agtually get a bed in our first friendship shelter. i

want to note that we have in in conversations with human services agency which has announced that it is trying to address that issue as i understand it starting tomorrow they will no longer require a entire fam ifly to show up together to reserve a space. one adult can go and make a reservation on behalf of the entire family that they way don't have to pull the kids from school. to theect tent this remains a issue for a single parent who still would have to pull the kid from school. my understanding is hsa is also instituting a phone reserveation system and that is something they'll be doing soon. this is to make sure that families don't have to be in the really difficult position of having to choose between getting a shelter bed and pulling the kids from

school and i do want to thank you supervisor kim and president breed who her staff has been working on this and the staff at hsa for responding to this issue and former colleague [inaudible] who worked to find a solution. i want to thank the families who shared this experience with us, the coalition on homelessness for bringing this issue to our attention >> the final note is simply to acknowledge there was a meeting last night in the mission district and it was a very difficult and challenging meeting involving the issue of the latest officer involved shooting and the [inaudible] shooting that led to the death of [inaudible] lopez. i first

want to thank the community police department for coming to a meeting, holding a meeting about this very critical incident in the neighborhood and i think that the meeting probably raised more questions than it provided answers. one of the things that became clear is that there are different version of what happened and what i simply hope is that there is it is expedited investigation of this matter because at the very heart of the matter i get into the bottom of what happened is a very important need to have trust between our police department and communities. i know that-what happened raises a number oaf concerns so we hope and ask our office of

citizens complaints, which conducts the investigation to conduct an investigation as quickly as possible so we get to the bottom of what happened. i urge our police department to continue to work the community and for the community to work with us the police department because we will be able to resolve these issues only if we work together. the rest i submit >> supervisor comps. supervisor christianson. supervisor wiener you second to be rerefurred >> i nudged to mention a item. i do have-i read in the press and seen onative, we have seen what can only be described as a explosion of vandalism in deloris park. in the last fee weeks we saw people that were arrested and they need to be

fully prosecuted break into the the construction area on the northern end of the park and do massive damage to the rejivation work happening there probably costing 100 thousand dollars. a week later we see people break a huge amount of glass in the childrens play ground which resulted in the play ground closing for week as 20 tons of sand are removed and replaced. these 2 incidence they are pretty large in scope and got a lot of press attention are not unique. 2 nights ago in the play ground found all sorts of glass and syringes and it seems everything night there is a no foorm of vandalism happening. der loris park isn't alone,

golden gate park is repeat #dly vandalize. [inaudible] i knee mu claren park had challenges as wellism we have to get serious in san francisco about security in the parks plarbly over night. it is embarrassing how few parole officers we have. we added parole officers in the last cycle and it wasn't many. we have a long way to go so as we enter the budget process we need to keep the security of our parks fully front and center. these are community assets that everyone in the city depends on of all-it is economic level and all background. everyone relies on our parks and when you have people vandalizing

these parks it makes other people or makes it hard frr the rest of us to actually use those parks so i look forward to this work and conversation. >> thank you supervisor wiener. madam president that concludes the conduction of business >> at this time let's open this up to public comment. i see the city administrator rushing to the podium. madam naomi kelly can you please come forwards? >> thank you mpt i'm here as city administrator today i'm here as a resident of san francisco and a proceed catholic mirther [inaudible] remarkable school because of its amazing principle teachers and the passionate carrying

community. it is a place we teach our kids the importance of serving others. it is a place where the kids feel loved and safe and along the way they get a top notch education that provides our children the tools they need to survive. my husband and i were devastated by the crisis that gripped the school. many families first became aware of farther ilow when he reserved the long standing policy of a lowing alter girl squz stopping the blessing of non catholic. how do you explain to a 5 year old you are not wuther of a blessing? we learned father ilow and dristical issued a pamplet asking the children to reflect on their sins using

words i would not use as a parent. as a parent we are horrified by these questionable teaching practices and labeling by the men of had cloth and this isn't what our school represents. reading the words of father ilow on his blog or concernerize ampifyed. he referred to the had religious diversity of our school of unfortunate fact [inaudible] he admitted the changes he would be pushing would lead to a purging. those of us disagree and have been told this may not be the school for you in a public meeting. we were told they-by father ilow and drisqual he would not fire the teachers but replace them with nuns. i want to say that we are worried about what is happening with the archdiocese

that is happening and the implications that can hap toon other prokeral schools >> thank you mrs. kelly, we appreciate your comments. could you just cut in line? i'm just messing with you, go ahead. >> my name is [inaudible] i'm here tonight to thank you for giving us a new [inaudible] her name is [inaudible] besides that i would like to thank our new supervisor for being one of my family as i treat all of

mr. dulains promoted san francisco police officers [inaudible] he served as poa president when supervisor [inaudible] was appointed as board president. supervisor [inaudible] also included supervisor [inaudible] officers responsible for shooting of people of color were under the charge of mr. dulains. wlie is mr. dulains acting with such impunity? i wonder how black police officers feel about [inaudible] when it comes to president breed and supervisor co00 [inaudible] on the color of their skin and gender. about the values these women added to the board. former president mrs. christina [inaudible] was never under this type of scrutiny. i

believe san francisco must cut ties with bigots and racist when dealing with first responders or police officers will wind up on the unemployment line or in a [inaudible] for example, mr. lopez and mr. nieto are the men and women dressed in blue to serve and protect us or are they here on a mission to fulfill the agenda of over killing and killing with impunity >> thank you very much. next speaker, please >> president avalos, i'm [inaudible] my name is christopher doll and live at [inaudible] from sea level

currently [inaudible] i would remind the house that any reference to individuals is entirely rhetorical. there is a proposal in [inaudible] for initiatives to get on the bal lt. the only effectiveness is make getting a initiative on the battle much much more expensive. we know you can buy as many signatures you need. this will keep the nicotine and putollium and shugary drink off the ballot but it will keep the neighborhood activist and street corner problem sauvers and the good citizens from having [inaudible] it would keep those antedevelopment measures from troubling mr. wieners supporters. i would have thought the subtle manipulation of the planning

code would have [inaudible] this is a bad idea members unless you set a thresh hold. if the total turn out for election is less than 50 percent of all registered voters than no candidate can be elected and if all candidates [inaudible] emotionally unattractive than too bad for the district. no soup for you. try harder next time. thank you president breed. >> thank you. next speaker please. >> good afternoon president breed and supervisors. i think i told the examiner today and said it is my 10 year anniversary of speaking at city hall and i was glad to have a meeting to tell the [inaudible] let them know, these things i

student. i know that if these clauses are implemented we know our community-it won't just effect the welcomeing of the school, but it will also effect all the other schools under the archdiocese of san francisco and how exactly? these morality clauses will plant a culture of fear that will prevent student like me from approaching the teachers regarding the question about homosexuality and [inaudible] most importantly the entire community and all the other schools are effected with these clauses standing in solidarity against because we want to make sure the [inaudible] we don't want to lose or teachers so please on behalf of the youth commission and all the student

discriminated gaens him for being openly gay. he had such a great teaching environment and peopleern happy to show up for class and when think of teachers like him and other teachers at these catholic schools it is saddening their jobs may be lost because of who they are and i encourage you to look into the schools and these teachers >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> i'm a senior at [inaudible] i want to thank you you. wild cat to wild cat for introducing this resolution. as a allah i stand beside my frands, teachers and staff and administration hurt by the after bishops changes. we ask that you all support us. we need our schools to be places

taking advantage och this to force a narrow interpretation of catholic teaching. at this point he realizes [inaudible] he is part of a very conservative counsel och bishops [inaudible] i'm scared for my teachers. this goes against all my thaern years of catholic education about bringing justice in the world. we need the city to take a stand against the threat to the civil rights of the teachers, the right to choices marriage and so on. we cannot allow the schools to become breeding grounds for discrimination. the archbishop states there isn't a protocol, but a case by case basis for faculty that don't fall in line. if they can happen in san francisco who knows where else it will

>> thank you, next speaker, please >> my name is [inaudible] senior at marin catholic one of the schools effected by the after bishops changes. i drove to show support. my teachers have taught nothing but how to the love. when the archbishops actions are creating a environment of intolerance discrimination and fear for teachers and community it is our duty to support our teachers. archbishop [inaudible] used the catholic religion for haet speech. he says love and acceptance only belongs in the schools for those that are deemed worthy and that st. isn't right or just. we'll ask the arch bishal to retract the changes and ask you to support this resolution >> next speaking, please.
