not a one-size-fits-all one cab company may want to do it one way but not have a rigid one-size-fits-all and again, i'm going changing the motion this is for later and on the gentleman's point if the fine for a bubble pen is extensive we can come back and look at it some of those things. >> i just want to pick up on the ladies point of background check don't you respond. >> all taxi cab drivers are to undergo a backward check for a driver to be a legal resident of the u.s. if the driver were to have infractions or in their home country we may not be

getting that information we'll get the background check of activity from the united states and so correct me if i am wrong and so that's the southern if there are issues from the home country that we wouldn't be getting and she feels the eliminations of that being a legal resident - >> yeah. >> i have one question about the fines how are they and is there an seas important the cost recovery enforcement or is that punitive. >> a lot of the fines are based on we have a historical schedule and that we went through the schedule and actually tried to think up the fin with the code infraction and the changes are matching them up and things change over here and not over there increases are based on what is

felt to be reasonable and a lot of the chances were suggested by the enforcement team we have cost recovery sort of analysis in mind although we wanted to point out the intention not to generate income or revenue only improve the customer service and act as a detriment. >> all in favor, say i. so, now we're supposed go into a closed session. >> actually, you have a few items earlier in the meeting general public comment on matter non-not on the agenda we have a

few (calling names). >> good evening. >> good afternoon well, it was afternoon i congratulate you, your like solomon and in the previous guidance that was very educational you didn't really deal with any of the issues you dealt with the general public comment you have to understand that you're killing the taxi industry and your not putting enough buses on and that's the only way you're going to get less cars polk street was designed in what the 18th century or the 19th century it didn't matters it can't take the traffic most of the streets in san francisco can't take the

traffic your neglecting the taxi industry and yellow cab a going bankrupt and they're cutting the amount of money to the medallion holders down to one thousand dollars that's jeopardizing the medallion sales force you benefit from and you're sitting around doing nothing the puc new chairman is talking about handing over general recreation and your doing nothing not talking to him not doing nothing maybe we don't need trait transportation at all you have to do something soon or no taxi industry. >> yes. mr. chairman. >> i have an item here just to

show here. >> oh, i'm sorry that works. >> so i just wanted to make it clear to everyone i'll try to be brief i'll answer my questions i'm excited to see e.r. is that did soto cab will be another taxi the taxi industry need to be recast number one conferring has to be the top priority and the reliability and the technology innovation the taxi consumers was asked about app and the majority have no idea you can book a cookbook with an app if you look at the color councilman at the google and the apple store logo is here it was

a big decision to give up the soto brand from dispatch years ago it was hallow with our new consolidation fly whole you'll leverage every taxi and wait less than 5 minutes for us to retain the large volume and enjoy this back to the industry we must support the fly whole and let the industry know this is a great view and my medallion holders and regular customers we think this is actually popular and hope to bring the brand recognize and brand back to the industry maybe a move out of the necessity

we're leading the move in innovation and maybe thrive by thinking this way if you have any questions. >> good luck. >> is tony still here tom lee you're the last person. >> please we if we don't forget where's our study going sometimes, we make detour but at the end of the route we make our destination but we have a margin to the mta about a taxi integrating the whole system the whole medallion is the last thing we have to refine it at the end the game is having their own vehicle of the medallion without the cab case in chief why the gay people only want a pay they're fighting for go to city hall and amend i don't mind

whatever they do we can will together but they want the same medallion it is defining to run ourselves why we need cab company on top of the layer we have to run ourselves we're sitting on the cliff we have a big loan for a cab driver not a lot of cab drivers not bow they have no future for this job whatever they don't want to fight with the tnc and uber come from the meeting they started their own uber like 4 years ago it is right now the director i hope she can listen to us we're represented of a thousand cab drivers i don't want to bring people here i'm so upset i chose

to walk away from my drivership you sit here but at the moment he would sit here and go to bed everything cooled off the body different we can change. >> thank you. >> we have director's report and direction by board members. >> then closed session. >> my report is that we'll be in a chinese new year's parade honoring mr. lee and have a 19 of 9 muni coach for low income seniors and processed more 38 thousand applications that concludes my report anything another from the board members a motion to go into closed session. >> all in and is okay. we're in

>> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features.

>> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really really rewarding to see children and families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are

playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay. >> this park is open. ♪

well, good morning welcome to the san francisco navigation center everybody

(clapping) let me first say that we're never giving up on the goal to try to help everybody the best way we know it didn't mean that the past programs were wrong in any way or short of what we designed them to it means that both government the community the private sector should distancing review everything we do in order to do it better when it comes to homelessness what a challenge it is never sees easy to do the things we said to do and after we've that accomplished that it is about improving that i want to say thank you to everyone might be predecessor ands mayors before him in do everything we can in

working through the greatest recession to try to help people about home problems and other issues that prevent them from long-term housing we're pretty luke in san francisco to fill feel the advances of a strong economy we're able to talk with much more clarity omi and the outcomes we want to accomplish but we need to learn continuing from what we're done in the past and improve on that i know many of you are here are part of advancing a newer approach and thank you to everyone that is skoourd me from the board of supervisors you're here as a strong advocate here and special thipgz thanks to each and every wish especially each everyone has helped us get clarity about

what wire trying to do with the homeless connect and homelessness in general and many of them have advanced a lot of those we wanted to have in the inspire challenge of homelessness through their district so i want to thank the entire board of supervisors each and every one of them many step up to the plate with the navigation center and supervisor farrell has been meeting with me about the ideas how it relate to 09 issues she's he's doing and special thanks to supervisor campos i specifically worked with us and the neighborhood it is a sensitive topic people are so understand what we're trying to do i believe that just telling supervisor campos that the temporary nature of this causes us to focus on the

outcomes it was welcomed to be discussed in this neighborhood but to take care of the homeless issues immediately as we brandish out to the rest of the city chief suhr has been a indicative part of the community as we 2k3w5e78d in the challenges that his staff was going through and optimistic they're the loudest voice we cannot move people around we have to have them a place to go the services to support that interfaith group has been at the heart of the entire idea of navigation center thank you, michael and rita for your license plate and the entire interfaith council we couldn't

have done it without you and to their collaboration with us became the venue through of we were able to receive serious resources to be able to open up and do this and when we got those resources at their blessing that's i'm using that term in a nice way that that vehicle more than a vehicle their faith in yours us that the police department and hope and all the other service providers that are reflected here i think they were not only sold but help to lead it i want to thank the city administrator to the public director a the human services to all the agencies that are putting the services on the site

to have a newness to this we have to have the entitlement you're going to have the people that on the streets get help they'll not come into a place people will have learned through harshness or through experiencing things they'll not that offered or responded to legitimate offers of housing simply because they're only insecurities or health are ones they feel challenged or safer on the streets than in - we're beginning to understand the survival tactics that people have learned and implemented to are control their own lives to try to offer them an opportunity to get off the streets this is a

continue yum of serviced of ideas of support to get people off the streets i happen to believe i know that all the folks that are standing here building as well living on the streets is not a good thing as good as the weather and generous as people that give cash and lovely as the diversity that happens on the streets living on the streets particularly when you watch what happens in the evening is dangerous i don't courage anyone, of course, the early stories i'm used to hearing i'm seeking an alternative we have to come up with more alternative that's a challenge that's why all the entities are working to

find creativity and more combooift was i want to say to beven keep coming with the ideas no idea is to the r50ek9d whether helping people getting out of inebriate ration or getting the psychological support or giving them a respite or homeless connect and the constant 24-hour service we have now for now the navigation center is all a continuance of into the weeds ideas to written people we want and desire us you kick with our sframz a true home or connect up with you to provide a level of services to get it a point where you can make a reasonable decision and at the end of the navigation center we'll have a long term
