us. i want to thank you all for being here on saint patrick's day because the reason i'm here and dressed like this is the greatest irish man who took us to the millennium marijuana and that's why they have it in multiple states, it came out of here. that's not martin luther's king's face, but it's still civil rights. he said aids was never a problem as much as racism. his biggest fight was racism. we know our police and fire men, san francisco, we're tracking and something is going on. the things we know should not be going on, dealing with people's sexualities, we're not dealing with it in the right

way. we expect the city, the mayor and the police to stand up to san francisco. thank you. >> thank you, very much. next speaker, please. >> thank you. tom berkley. why do we educate? why do we educate? to learn. and to learn is something we do, hopefully, all of our lives. and with respect to a woman's month, history month, i'm going to kind of go back a little bit and say for probably the last time about the books that i've read, the one that's called dr. mary's monkey. overhead, please. can we close that up

at all? >> i don't think so. sfgtv, could you zoom in, please? thank you. >> it kind of goes away.back up a little bit guys. hello. anyway, dr. mary's monkeys. it's a story about a woman who ran laboratories for cancer in new orleans in the late 50's and 60's, world renown mysterious death. she hires a gal, /kraouts a gal who is like our intel scholar winner from last week. this young gal could keep cancer alive the longest of anyone in the country. that girl turns out to be lee. they're both very

talented women and both good stories. the next one as i mentioned the warning, if you can pick this up, see how one loan woman plays gary trooper. we are losing. the country is losing. and we are still losing. thank you >> are there any public members that want to provide comments at this time? seeing none, public close. >> items 9 through 22 comprised of the calendar may be enacted by a single roll call vote unless a member obtains. it can be removed and considered separately. >> supervisor christensen. >> i would like to pull out

the city college item. >> 30? >> yes. >> >> madam clerk, can you please call the roll for 31 and 32? >> mar. >> yea. >> tang. >> yea. >> yee. >> yea. >> avalos. >> yea. >> breed. >> yea. >> campos. >> yea. >> christensen. >> yea. >> cohen. >> yea. >> farrell. >> yea. >> kim. >> yea. >> kim yea. there are ten yeas. >> okay. those items passed unanimously. madam clerk, can we go back to item 29. >> item 29 is a resolution to declare. it is the intention of the board of supervisors to work with other cities to sell these at risk loans to qualify non-profits that have the funding and infrastructure to

purchase and structure and withhold the property and help /kwaoep struggling home owners in their homes. >> supervisors avalos. >> thank you supervisor breed. the seatbelt southeast part of san francisco, there are millions of distressed mortgages, of course, not millions in our part of san francisco but many thousands. there's been a plan in place to assure there can be greater local control and support from nonprofit organizations to help households struggling with their mortgages. right now, there are many banks who own these distressed struggling mortgages. often, they sell these mortgages on wall street taken over by hedge funds which don't have the intent of helping home owners. they have the intent of making money off of distressed mortgages. we negotiate these mortgages to be

sold to the community development financial institutions, nonprofit organizations. they have the goal of not making money, but helping households struggling with their mortgages to stay in their homes, keep their property and maintain their wealth in their communities. that's what it was about. when we found there was major banks across the country that got bailed out of $800 million. with that bail out, they did not translate that money into raising and supporting local economies and families with for /khroersz. they took that money and was very stingy about helping households modify their loans. we're trying to see if there's other cities around the country that are able to get the banks to help the members to keep their homes, that need to be able to thrive in our

cities, maintain their property and their homes and what little wealth they can have in their homes. so colleagues, i hope you support on this measure. some of you have already indicated that you will do so. we hope to actually move this forward with other cities around the country. already, the cities of richmond california, newark, /tphupblgz are already on board. we need to write a letter to the housing /tkwopt department to get the f h a director to encourage fanny may and fanny mac to not sell the distressed mortgages to wall street but to the institutions as well. if that one effort is done, we can

make sure that many households can thrive and not lose their property to wall street speculators. it makes sense that we use or bail out that the federal government has done for these banks years ago in ways to actually support the working people here in san francisco and across the country. colleagues, i hope to have your support. thank you. >> thank you. /khraoebgs, can we take this item, same house, same call? without objections, it is adopted unanimously. madam clerk, can you please call item 30. >> item 30 is a resolution to urge the administration of city college of san francisco to present the campus at 750 eddie street in the classrooms for all classes that have been displayed by the student and to pursue higher education. >> supervisors christensen.

>> i'll try to be brief. i just wanted to thank supervisor kim for bringing this matter to our attention and for me to be a cosponsor to it which i'm happy to do. i looked further into the matter and i think it is stressing. we talked about how important it is and the effort to draw the need to save it. this situation is distressing all, not only because of the abrupt closing but there was before knowledge of this happening but not much action to mend it and litigate it with no notice to the students. as two of the students mentioned, there is an effort on the way to provide a temporary location but if there's something we can do as supervisors on the board to encourage a more permanent solution, we should do it. another supervisors stated there's a significant amount of money at risk if the building

is not opened in 3 years. it seems like a plan should be in place now to keep that building open and that funding secure. thank you supervisor kim and i'm happy to add my boost to this effort. >> thank you. supervisor kim. >> thank you. i did speak about this last week and i think supervisor christensen summarized what is going on really well in the campus in the tender loin neighborhood and how distressing this was for so many of our residents that depend on this campus to be able to take english as a second language class and other skill set training classes that go hand and hand and their employist here in the city. i just wanted to recognize some supervisors who will be cosponsoring and i wanted to recognize them. i want to thank supervisor mar and campos but also supervisors yee, christensen and avalos who want

to add their names to the cosponsor. it's really nice to have broad support for this resolution. >> thank you. supervisor mar. >> i just wanted to say thank you to supervisor campos and kim and others but essentially to the central city coalition for public education for creating an education campaign around this so that not just the city college students but the families and everybody that city college /pweftsz not on old in the tender loin area but everyone around the community that this is important to. so the hearing is in 3 weeks and hopefully that's enough time to hear in many ways what will happen to 750 eddie and the timeline and the other demands of the /koelgsz. so i just thank the people for testifying today and my colleagues for supporting this today as well. >> thank you. supervisor yee.

>> yeah. just a quick word. thanks to supervisor kim for presenting this resolution to us. there's several campuses spread out throughout san francisco and if this had happened in any of the other campuses -- well, first of all, this wouldn't have happened. it's outrageous. there was no notice to students or teachers. it was just a sign posted and people showed up and said oh my god, there's nothing here. there was nothing done and i continue to support the people in san francisco. so i urge everybody to strongly support this resolution. >> thank you. seeing no other names on the roster, can we take this item same house, same call? with no objection, this resolution passes naply.

can you please read the imperative agenda item. >> offered by supervisor farrell, a resolution declaring march 25, 2015 in the county of san francisco. >> okay. colleagues, we have an imperative item which requires the board to adopt two separate finding by 2/3 votes of the finding itself. so let's take the findings either purely commendtory which is my understanding from supervisor mar, this is commendtory and also the need to take action came to the board after the agenda was posted. so supervisor farrell, would you like that we move forward with those two particular findings? >> i would like to make that motion. >> moved by farrell, seconded

by supervisor tang. without objection, we can move forward unanimously. on the substance of the under lying o-item, can we take it without objection? without objections, it is adopted unanimously. are there any other items before us today? >> i have two memoriams by supervisor mar for mr. alfred yee and behalf of supervisor campos on the late /sha hiby. >> madam clerk, is there anymore business before us today? >> that is all for the business for today. >> okay. thank you madam clerk. everyone, we are adjourned.

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 housing opportunity for people now we're talking about hundreds of unit obey identified we already have in our spemgs a hundred units backing up this center and working with our residential hotel providers who are business people in their own right and offering us sfunt to work with n them as well the enforcement community building our housing i say we've spent billions of every year to insure that people get services whether their transitional or senior ever veterans or families or single mothers and we've had creative programs
