wim bring. in working on parks and libraries, i worked with a lot of families in the district and what do paincht want? their want their chaern to be safe and well educated and hap squewant them to have opportunities. working parents want to know during the summer they are children have a same productive place to be. kids in addition to a safe and loving home and good schools, they need opportunities for recreation and outside learning. these praments will provide that to over 1 thousand children . we are grateful for the leadership of all the people who made it happen and happy to bing this home to my cuj stituents and the head line is summer is #c34ing and it is going to be fun e. we hope to see you there. >> and the king of eliminating all waiting list is

superintendened richards collagea >> i'm concern when he says that in enrollment season. you know something i don't know mr. mayor? iment to thank everyone here, our board president and [inaudible] all department heads here. it is hard following the mayor because you can hear in his voice the passion he has for the families and the children in san francisco. we really appreciate that because we also know that it is not just the school district in any city that can have a impact on the families of a city, it does take a entire city and departments and reck and park department and it takes our liberies and everyone pulling together to make sure we create a fabric and create a framework so no student does not have a opportunity to experience this

wonderful city. when you have a mayor like mayor lee that unscripted and without prodding at every occasion talks about that weaving of children and families in the city to make a strong city, it is very powerful for us in the school district. we committed in the school district 3 departments, the office of extend said learning and early education and learning and office of after school time to really ramp up what we are doing in terms of offerer opportunities to enrichment activities. we know and resourch brought out that student with enrichment activities, not just remedial, what is important is what are they reading and writing about and how are they applying those standards and the new common core math standards and how do they go and see and interact with the most buft classroom in the world, san francisco. that is what this opportunity does

for our children. what i'm particularly and i would speak more fr my board, particularly happy about is this investment for this summer learning provides the opportunity in the school district to provide busing from 4 hope sf community centers so student don't see transportation as a barrier to engage in the broad rb classroom. that is equity in action so i want to thank the city for allowing us to dothality. with that we committed our self and the san francisco unified school district to steam and that is science, tech knowledge, engineering art and mathematic. if you think about steam and apply it to the stity we live in, this beautiful oasis of steam in san francisco it makes sense why student show up on a std and interview for summer jobs because they will apply that wurn learning. it makes sense why stuntd want to be

part of a after school program to get language skills. it makes sones why student go to enrichment field trip jz interact with nature and go to the prusidio or go to the beautiful parks and team media centers and do research about what interests them. as we think about moving from a agrarian society where the school calendar made sense to 21 century global economy and division 2525 our district talked about imagining what we do in education it makes learning should be year jound enriching and contextualize in the most beautiful classroom in the world san francisco. i want to thank the voters of san francisco for entrusting in us for a quarter century the abilities to create this type

of classroom so thank you to the voters of san francisco and policy makers, thank you for giving the early start of enriching the lives of the student in san francisco. i also would be remisthat other commissioner is here, mendoza is here. thank you mr. mayor. >> wow, what a wonder-it is a beautiful day, sunny, bright and it is perfect day to be announcing this expension. i hope that the sun osgeths the press release of the summer expansion so the sun will make guess appearances during the summer month when the kids are out having fun and learning different things. continuing the theme of steam, let's make sure we are going full steam

ahead. come on! i want to thank the mayor for his dedication and commitment and insistence that every step we take in the city and every department whatever we produce has to be of quality and not only of quality, but it has to. it has to be for all. it snut just for sum and he made it clear in the state of the city address around shared prosperity. he made it clear in all the meetings we had that whatever projects and initiatives we produce has to be for everyone so thank you mr. mayor for your leadership on that. i also want to recognize and thank superintendened [inaudible] leadership and partnership. his willingness to open his schools for our cbo to come in and provide high squault after school and summer program is

amazing. he has broken down barriers that have been historical for many years. he made the commitment of equity and of quality and that is amazing so thank you for that. also, thank you to all our elected official because they also share our vision and they share the mont ruof quality programs for all. everywhere they are going they are talking about enroll in summer school, enroll in after school program, participate because you are participate at every levlt within the city, within the big classroom of ours. thank you to all the elected officials. most-importantly we cant make this work without key community based part nrbship. partners that have been with us thick and in the through the good and

bad times and they hung with us to make sure we get to this day where we can say if you have a kid on your wait list we are committed to allow that kid a slot that. that is 6 years in the making because we have never been able to say that in the past. we have never been able tosay a too a parent or family, if you want this after school program, the summer program slot we'll find you a slot. we'll make sure the prm you want to go to will be available. if it isn't at this program or agency we'll find a agency that works for you and the fmly so thank you to all the cbeau's in the room now and all the other cbo's [inaudible] community youth center back there. the bay view y and the

china town y. tell high neighborhood center, north beach beacon center and a number of ouf community based programs. another key partner in making sure this works are all the city departments because not only do we want to make sure we have high quality programs run by community based agency, community based agency have limited capacity so we partner with other folks that have facilities shuch such as reck and park and the liberies and other departments that not only contribute resources and facilities but time and energy and commitment such as the department of public work and mta for helping with the stranz portation passes. the man i mentioned within another couple-next month will have over 400 mayors coming to the city to learn about all the great program thofz city. we

have been connected by citys throughout the cuntsry about how can we in san francisco are able to come together and partner between the school district and city departments and community based agency and create and sustain a summer learning initiative for such a long time. but not only that, the programs that are of quality that would really stem the learning loss that we know the research is showing. we won't accept that research. we believe that our kids and families deserve better and because of that, we invest not only in making sure there are slots for the families but also want into invest and make sure the slots are quality and things the families deserve and want. once again t is for everyone. for the all the the families not signed frup the summer program yet, please list

toon what the mayor said, go to the website, www.dcys dautd oreg or sf kids.gov oreg or call 311. there are no excuses out there. make sure you call, make sure you enroll and have a wonderful summer this year. thank you. with that we conclude, but i will be around for any further questions. thank you.

remarks up to 5 minutes. eligible supervisors who submitted questions from disprict un1 and 3. as long as the entire discussion does not exceed 5 minutes per supervisor*. >> okay. the first question is from our colleague from district 1 -- supervisor --o, i forget the mayor has opening remarks, everybody. and i also want to mention that we're joined by supervisor kim and supervisor mar. so mr. mayor. >> thank you president breed. good afternoon, everyone. yesterday i joined our homeless outreach team to engage people that are living on our streets. we encountered a number of people who want to change their lives for the better, and their first step was relocating to our city's navigation center. the center's providing hope and opportunities and helps us deliver on our promise to give people the critical services they need. and i want to

thank our entire board of supervisors for your partnership on this issue. it's my hope that this approach will help homeless people reconnect with their loved ones at home, move off the streets, go into stable housing, or residential treatment programs., and begin to stabilize their lives. and as you know part of the donation to the navigation center will fund master leasing of single room occupancy units so that clients can successfully transition out of the navigation center. this is another rung of our housing matter. and at the same time, we are making progress on our housing goals with ambitious legislation and funding proposals. and we've been tracking our progress every step of the way so all are held accountable for efforts in creating housing for all. 14 months into our 2014 pledge, we have opened*

the doors to 4,263 new homes with 31% affordable. i'm proud that these new homes deliver on our city's promise to create a city for everyone. we'll continue the bill -- more housing for our residents -- in fact, a few weeks ago some of you joined me in kicking off a collaborative big-tent process to put a housing bond before the voters this november. as i've done with other major policy priorities that are so important to our city, i'm asking experts and stakeholders all over the city to join me in crafting a consensus measure. and in this case, we're asking 75 neighborhood leaders and housing experts to come together and craft this bond proposal. i'm glad to be working closely with supervisor lun don breed and supervisor* julie christenson on this as well*. we'll propose a bond of about $250 million. i

know that's under discussion. it's a significant nsment. and we hope not to raise taxes at the same time. it will provide more affordable housing to low-income san franciscans and create opportunities for middle class families to own and rent homes in san francisco. this bond, which i announced to my city in january is part of the investments not only in housing but also education, transportation, and more and will fulfill our shared prosperity agenda with the goal of making sure san francisco remains a city for everyone. let's get on with questions. thank you. >> thank you. and our first question will come from the supervisor from district 1 -- supervisor eric mar. >> thank you president breed. mr. mayor, thank you for being here. last wednesday supervisor avalos and run in from supervisor campos

participated in shutting down a mcdondle at mission district 6:00 a.m.* in the morning representing fast food workers fighting for $15.00 an hour. as you know i'm really proud you and our board and city supported ground-breking legislation last year that will* raise our minimum wage as well as provide predictable scheduling and part-time on-call workers in san francisco really helping 40,000 workers deal with those protections with our retail workers bill of rights. in order for these new rights to have any impact, we need to ensure that our ability to enforce these laws is sufficient. which means that staffing levels of the office of labor standards and enforcement -- or olfe -- have to be increased. but it also means we need to fund community-based organizations that can supplement our ability to reach out to workers who may be reticent to claim their rights. and we count on your office to fund -- to create the funding

for these critical needs for our upcoming budget process. >> thank you supervisor mar for that question and for being a partner on passing the nation's highest minimum wage last year. i'm proud of our city. i'm proud of our voters, because soon more than 60,000 working san franciscans will get a raise. and as you know the minimum wage increases to $12.25 per hour effective may 1st. i mention this, because i'm taking every opportunity i can to raise awareness about this. we need to make sure that everyone who employs a low-wage worker and everyone out there earning a minimum wage knows about this increase on may 1st. i encourage every supervisor to p communicate with their constituents*, keep raising awareness about this through your newsletters, your community meetings, and your commercial corridor walks. that brings us to your question about enforcement supervisor mar. and i believe

that an overwhelming majority of san francisco small business owners know the law and will follow the law. they do care about their workers. and in many cases, they see them as valued friends and critical components to success of their businesses. i have every expectation to believe that people will receive the wage increases to which they are entitled. but in the case of malicious intent or simple misunderstanding, sometimes enforcement is necessary. luckily for our city, we do have a strong labor standards enforcement office that helps ensure everyone receives the rights that they deserve. we are blessed with a strong worker's rights advocate community that helps ensure monolingual, low-wage immigrant workers know their rights and exercise them when needed. i know that san francisco is a model for the rest of the nation. and when it comes to enforcing our strong labor laws. as far as your question about staff

resources, supervisor, i know that some advocacy organizations have proposed certain enhancements to city staff budgets and for increases in our city contracts to community-based organizations to do this important work. i've requested our office of labor standards to review these requests and weigh them alongside other staffing and budgetary needs. as you know, supervisor, through your position on the budget committee spending choices cannot be done in a vacuum. but i'm committed to putting everything on the table and making choices together. with the board of supervisors, all of you in a collaborative way -- and we've done that every year since i've been mayor -- this budget review process really does begin with the departments and in this case with the office of labor standards enforcement. so thank you for your question. let me reiterate that. please bet the word out on the new minimum* wage that takes effect on may 1st. and i will work collaboratively with

this body to make sure funding for this things we know most important get funded. >> thank you supervisor mar. and the next question will come from the supervisor from district 3. supervisor julie chris 10 zen. >> good afternoon ma mayor. i certainly* applaud your emphasis on housing**. i look forward to working with you on the housing bond. as you well know district 3 is a neighborhood that has traditionally embraced its working-class families. it's a very dense district. in conjunction with the housing we so desperately need and the housing security we crave, you and i have discussed transportation as a natural follow-on to that. district 3 is a very dense district. and we swell each day with shoppers at union square, workers in the financial district, visitors to chinatown and fisherman's wharf. and so, today i wanted to ask you about the central subway. so phase 2 will be completed in a few years, but

brings the subway only as far as chinatown. the report from last fall that the tamta and planning did indicates that the ridership on the t-line would increase from 74,000 people to 115,000 people a day if we only added those two stops in north beach and fisherman's wharf and the time it takes from moscow knee center to fisherman*'s wharf would be cut in half on mass transit. what can the city do to signal our seriousness on pursuing phase tremendous? how can we improve transit and reduce congestion in district 3? >> thank you supervisor for that question. first i'm very excited about the opening of the central subway which is scheduled to begin service in 2019. i can't wait. it will directly link chinatown to union square, mos cone center,* while

providing connections to bart and the city's muni metro system. as a result of years of planning, community engineering, construction, this project will be a transformative economic engine for the residents of district 3 while dlawing additional visitors* to businesses located there. whereas you know our city's undertaken a number of major transportation projects in financial partnership with regional, state, and federal partners. in addition to the central subway, we're building a new presidio parkway to replace doyle drive. we have the transbay transit center. we have bus rapid transit on van neses nn and we've done a lot of work planning* for how to bring the existing transportation systems into a state of good repair. in 2013 my transportation task force identified $10 billion in necessary investments by

2030. our san francisco voters endorsed this effort with the passage of prop a last year which authorized $500 million in much-needed initial funding to support the existing transportation network. it took many years to get the transportation -- the central subway project moving. and as you know projects of this scale and complexity can time and funding the plan let alone to build. well, as we consider the needs of the entire city and region when making big transportation decisions, we also need to think about which ones can move forward right now. in other words, which ones are shovel-ready? i know how much you have worked with the community and local merchants on this issue. and i believe the city needs to continue that good work so that we really understand the benefits of a central subway extension that could bring -- what that could bring -- while establishing

realistic completion timelines which will enable us a better way to understand the funding decisions will need to be made and made consistently to get that project done. thank you, supervisor. >> thank you, supervisor chris 10 sen*. and thank you mr. mayor for being with us here today. now, colleagues, we're going to move on to the consent agenda. madam clerk, wums read the consent agenda. >> the 2-18 are considered routine unless a member objects. >> supervisor ye. >> yes. i'd like to remove item no. 9. >> okay. seeing no other members, we will remove item no. 9 and we'll call those on the remaining items. >> on items 2-18 minus no. 9 supervisor breed -- aye. campos -- aye. christenson -- aye. cohen -- aye. far
