units that we have and in law units of course are the most affordable type of non subicized unit. in addition as of the other legislation, when the new in law units are built into buildings that are rent controlled, the new units are rent controlled as well so we will be able to create new rent controlled units. in fact we recently saw the first new rent controlled unit being created in the pursuant to cast roin law unit legislation so this is a good move for the city. we know as our debate earlier that we continue to be in a true housing affordability crisis and we need more housing. in law units are a very good option mpt. they are despursed throughout the city. we don't run into the the height and bulk issues that sometimes

cause people to have issuewise projects. in addition to being more affordable other types of new construction they also tend to be much more accessible because by in large they are on the ground floor so people who have prubl getting up and down stairs could have another option. they also tend to promolt intergerings living sometimes elderly parent or children that can't afford housing will move into the in law unit and in general they add more housing for the city. various studies by uc berkeley and hud and aarp demonstrated these units are more affordable. as with the other legislation and cast row and seismic ret row fit in law legislation, this ledgeilation requires new units be created within the existing envoleopef the buildsing because the building can't beat expanded or

made taller or wider for the new unit so whether that is a garage or basement above ground or large storage area, it has to be within the existing envolep oaf the building. colleagues this is a good piece of lechblg slaigz and it will build upon work that we already been doing. i hope that it expands into areas of the city outside district 8 and invite anyone colleagues to have a conversation with us about that. we got very strong support in every naird we raised this. in fact, after i introduced the cast row legislation i golt ininquiry from [inaudible] saying why are you not doing this in [inaudible] and now we are and other nairblds as well. i look forward to the legislation blt this. i introduce a legislation today along with supervisor yee to commemorate and honor the hundred hth an

versery of the armenian genocide. we had a wurnderful armenian american community in san francisco and it is a very pornts for us at the board of have izvoors to stand in sal darety with the armenian american community to remember the genocide that happened 100 years ago where a huge number of armenians were slaurted. we must never forget these genocides so we submit this resolution to remember and never forget what happen. >> thank you sfr visor wiener. supervisor yee >> welcome to the week of the [inaudible] this is a opportunity it to focus on who serves the young children and the young children themselves. this week they will have much

activities lined up. on friday in particular i would thrike invite anyone who is interesteden these issues to join us as you will see hundreds of babies and preschoolers marching around the street and city hall. we have done this in the past for many wreers and this year we'll do it a little differently. instead of surrounding city hall and taking over the streets of city hall we'll start here and take over the streets of the state building across from us because the state actually provides most of the subsidize for infant and pree schooler age child care for low income families and yet the state is not providing enough for san francisco. we still have many families on the waiting list trying to get into child care so they can go to

work. not only that, the state doesn't provide san francisco with the right reimbursement for the services knowing that san francisco is a very expensive place to live and people live here can't afford to provide the same services that shasta provides for the same rate. colleagues today i'm calling for the cities attorneys office to draft legislation to have the insulation of black boxes across our city fleet. last thursday we held ahering on a report requested from budget and legislative analyst about potential public installing vehicle telematics or black boxes across the city fleet. the initial motivation behind the study was to assess whether

or not equipting the cities vehicles with black boxes improve the driving behavior of the city workers. the city paid out is a 76.9 million in settlement and judgment over the past 5 years because of vehicle collisions. the insulation of black boxes including efficient, better fleet management and increase ability to address unsafe driving practices. this technology is also proven cost savings to other cities that adopted similar problems. the city of sacramento reported scicktd thousand savings in the first month after smalling the system for 184 vehicles. in the eastern municipal district

in riverside county the employees drove 165 thousand fewer miles and saved 354 thousand dollars in the first 6 months in few cost. our city has black boxes installed in 2332 vehicles with plans for another 776 more. however, there are 4700 more remaining vehicles in the fleet that currently don't require snaugz. therefore i'm scg the city attorney to work with my office to man date black boxes across the sate fleet and development a problem that offers data analysis for departments to maximize efficiency. this effort falls into 2 of the main issues i have been spear heading since taking office with some of the other

colleagues including come visor kim, avalos and mar. vision zero is one of thim. the effort to increase pedestrian safety and eliminate deaths on our streets by 2024. to increase efficiency by using the sate fund in a smart effective manner to help in savings in the long run. i look forward to working with all city departments to make this a smooth and fast transition and look forered to discussing the program in the upcoming budget discussion. i also would like to-the second item i would like to introduce is a hearing request on the san francisco unified school district student crossing guard program. in district 7 we have many dairjs corridors which effects student getting to and from schools. we also have

schools with very congested roads during trop drop off and pick up tinals which causes unsafe condition for pedestrians. i remember as a young student how proud i was to be a crossing guard at my scoobl. the experience and skill made the importance of traffic safety. as you can imagine i was disappointed the student crossess guard program ended several decades ago. to the vision zero work we realized education plays a crucial role in our 3 prong approach to ending pedestrian faytalities. to address the issue of pedestrian safety at school, it is important to engage young children as part of the solution. last year i was able to secure funding to launch a student crossing program in district 7. through a partnership with my office

and school district and principles and police department we were able to engage dozens of student for crossing guards. today we have 3 programs at [inaudible] lake shore elementary school. at each of these schools principles, parents and student have commented how pick up and drop off improved because of the presence and visibility of the student crossing guards. since this program is so successful through the pilot phase we received re quests for student crossing gaurds in 2 dozen other schools. with this demand i would like taexplore spreading this plan city wide. i would like to see more student educated with pedestrian safety and hopefully

they will become safer on the roads. i want to give a shout out to the giant, not because they won the world series last year, but because they step up to the plate. no punt intended. they invited all the student crossing guards to come to the game wednesday night to watch the giants game as they did last year so i feel very proud that we have a home team that support this program. the rest i submit >> thank you, supervisor year >> seeing no other naimgs on the roster that concludes the introduction of new business >> can you please read public comment. >> the public may comment for up to 2 minutes on items within the subject matter to includes the minutes and items. note public comment isn't allowed on items that are subject to

public comment and pursuance to the board rules please direct your remark tooz the board as a whole and not individual supervisors or the odd jnss. speakers using translation assistance will be aloud twice the amount to testify and if you would like a document to be displayed on the ovhead state such and remove the document when you would like the screen to return to live curveerage of the meeting >> that you can, first speaking, please >> members of board of supervisors rea hearts, director of san francisco open government. no justice, no peace. what you see on the screen is march 19 i file ida disclosure equest with 10 of the 11 members of the board of supervisors and the sun shine ordinance requires a response by close of business march 20.

supervisor tang, avalos and cohen responded as the law required. supervisors camp es, yee and wiener did respond. this is the third time i have come before thois board of supervisors specifically regarding this same idea so i wonder why board president breed and supervisor kim, mar and farrell have not responded in any way shape manner or form? they have replied with nothing. i don't think this lack of response is a sign of content, i think is general content for open government and transenchs pal. you and sth staff know dh laws judon't follow them. i say that because the same contempt the voters will see if they come here-if they clearly if they come here and take the time to attend a meeting of this board

of supervisor squz observe the members do anything but listen to the public. half the time they get up and walk out, have conversationwise thestaff, do anything about bay attention to had people who put them in those chairs. i think they have for gotten who put them where they are. i think the voters of san francisco need to look at the facktd that you will do everything including homdsing comwant where someone thaz to take a entire afternoon off work or child care to come here and wait for your pleasure >> thank you, next speaker. excuse me, we have public comment so to make sure everyone has their time please do not nrtd rupt the speakers as they speak. thank you . next speaking, please >> good afternoon, i'mpeting warfield executive directors of

library [inaudible] that also is something that the sun shineords nns should be provided 3 minutes for public comment. i want to give a bit of update on bib locommons, the libery is betraying not just the public, but you the supervisors who pay over 100 million dollars a year to this library and bib locommons is privacy of breaking-it has censorship for patron comments and other contributions and it enables information gathsering by the company that runs it as well as law enforcement agency. one of the worst thing is bibly commons in the contract claims the right to exclude anyone from using it. it would be-if the library were to decide you can't come in and

you can't come in and we don't like you for any reason and there is no due process. the library also sntd doing basic wells. let's look at the robert sheer book that came out in february, they know everything about you. the libery recently said it had peer liberies which it kim paraed itself to and 9 of 10 of them have their book in their collection. one doesn't yet and of course the library doesn't either. let's talk about what the bib locommons functions is. in the past i talked about privacy and censorship, but the system isn't working crethly in a whole range of ways thmpt libery is doing very haphazard testing and put a gagordser on the staff so only 1 person may talk with me about bib locommons in detail. the reason is because it is just not doing its job right. if

you >> thank you very much. next speaker, please >> president breed and their victim thofz cuball, my name is christopher doll and live at sicktth and howard. i rise to provide a solution pack frj the dire prediction of 50 feet of sea level rise in 50 years i laid out last week. the way to stop sea level rise is stop the global ice melt by reverses global warming. the human contribution to global warming can be stopped by balancing the amont of carbon dioxide that humans put in the at #34us fear with the increase of carbon dioxide plants pull out of the atmosphere. we need more plants. the fastest way to get that increased vegetation is to irrigate empty desert. we have

lots of empty desert next to salty oceans. the way toget lost of fresh water on the desert is desalinate and pump the fresh walter on shore. desalination technology is expensive to fabicate and more expensive to power. this is changing. using carbon nano films will lower energy costs radically and harvesting the free energy already available in deep ocean hydrothermal vents will lower that cost more while providing a convenient alternative to burning anymore hydrocarbons. remember, all we need is free energy to provide fresh water to grew new tree. thank you president breed >> thank you, next speaking please. sir, next speaking please. oh.
