10:18 pm
university >> thank you for joining us in the heart orphchina town, our ymca and watched this project built and rehabilitationed for many years. i was a star basketball player in the old days at this site. and my brother david lee is playing some place. i want to say thank you to cary lee and the staff. a perfect place for making this a wonderful anountsment. as i said with our supervisors and i want to say thank you again to
10:19 pm
supervisor julie christensen and her leadership and the rest of the board of supervisors, that we work together to make sure the prosperity of the stity touches everyone and todays anountsment will be another perfect of dpmp of how increased revenue affords the opportunity together to say all the things we believe in for the yooth and families can happen without a waiting list. the additional funds were 1.8 million of additional funding through our children yooth and family and marie sue is here today and in charge of that, working together with the school district with all our community based ourgzs in every supervisor district. also working with our public housing sites and the incredible work [inaudible] miller is doing
10:20 pm
with the sf sites that touch all the aspect thofz city. we are adding money so that the great summer programs like the ones right here at ymca but all over the city whether they are the beacon centers or advercher more or the bay view ymca, they are all touched so no family and choild who registers and i encourage them to get on line or call 311 and register themselves and fmlies to these wonderful high quality summer programs that are great for kids, great for skill setting and additional learning, great to prevent summer loss, but also more as a wonderful tune to engage ort kids throughout the summer in very good programs that reck and park and our school district working together it with the knhunty placed agency that had years of
10:21 pm
experience in this. i think that they can't wait to join our library and all our other programs to not only have the good programs that we had, but to say there is no waiting list. that is a incredible announcement. it is all most as exciting as telling a department that you won't be cut this year. people smile at that because they know they can get their kids into these wundserful programs whether it is swimming or learning a new skill or additional language classes or skill sets, they will all happen at the wonderful community based centers. they happen in atifep wment the library and school districts and happen in our hope sf sites. they happen all over the city because we are committed to making sure our kids are healthy and strong and ready and there are no gaps in the way they learn. by the
10:22 pm
way, this happens also to be a great contribution to our parents as well because when the parents are struggling with their 2 or 3 scheduled working throughout the summer to make ends meet, they can have affordable programs in the city particularly low income kids can [inaudible] all summer to all these prms and have places that are safe, inviting and endorsed by our school district and that is why we have school members here too and they are directly engaged in qualifying these programs that we have. programs for the parents to make sure that when they are busy going to work they have wonderful programs their kids can be involved in. i'm excited about this because i love seeing kids active whether it is on a recreation field or
10:23 pm
learning center, a incredible array of different things that this ymca produces. our own boys and girls clubs do the same thing as well as community centers around the city. i know there is excitement about this because this is what sth city does and in a time where we can say not only yes, we have great prms, bullet there is no waiting list makes everything wn happy and know our superintendent feels happier. i know sewer at cyc is happy to hear this as well. there are so many great thing tooz do in the summer and don't want our kids idle. that causes so many other issues of chlgs for the city. have all the kids from bay view and mission and xhinea town and japan down to sunset, rich-mind, aench neighborhood
10:24 pm
is touched by this and each supervisor, supervisor christian schb come to me and said can we make sure these programs don't have interruption so today i encourage parents to enroll their kids right away. even though there won't be a waiting list, don't be relaxed about it. go to the website and call 311 and they will help you navigate all the enrollments and programs we want to have. i want to give a good shout again not only to supervisors but marine sue you have done a wonderful job and working with superintendent cunaunz a and school board members working with the community based agency reflected right here have done a incredible job to make us proud so that i can make these announcements and say shared
10:25 pm
prosperity is a reflection of our commitment that when we have those additional revenues we plow them into helping the quality of life for everyone in the city. you can't dismiss it that quality of life when we say that we will involve our parents and families. that is the i think really the essence that our city can do to enrich the lives of the kids and families and this is universal in many ways and when i use that word i also use it with the commitment that we will do more universal policemans for the city. this is just the beginning. when the budget is as strong as it is, we can then negotiate with our supervisors because they have lists of needs that they have penetrated with the constituents of the city and we'll work together to make sure universal pree school
10:26 pm
is done, universal after school programs, summer camps and skill setting and a recreation are corbed while we work on better transporpation, safer streets and parks, open recreation centers. they are all toucheded by this prosperity our city is enjoying. we cannot do these type of things unless we are all together committed to having a strong economy and that means everyone has to work. we have to find had links and glad the people standing behind me are part of that incredible link whether it is the libraries, school district, public housing that is here, centers like this, school district is incredible. they are all here to provide you information about how we have been able to link this all together and the collaboration going on with all our city
10:27 pm
departments whether they hear there is no cutss, they are collaborating more because they enjoy this feeling. i told them that they'll be able to sustain more when they collaborate all the different programs together. this is about our parents and our families today. 1.8 million doesn't sound like a lot, when you get rid of waitest list that is a huge huge difference and we experienced those waitest lings lists in the past with a high degree of anxiety where the kids say i want to get there and don't woe knoe if i will get in and they have to wait and wait and wait. no waiting on this and then again we get to say enroll into these programs quickly. all the people here behind me are to be thanked because they are massing that collaboration we need and they can advise me
10:28 pm
where to put the resource squz this will refleblth in a better summer. this also doesn't take away there are other age groups focused on as well. we just launched the jobs plus program. i wasn't there because i was celebrating my moms 90 thd birth day so missed the tie tying contest. i'm usually there with the youngest kid. we had 1 thousand kids aurlds applying for jobs. we are going to do a huge job effort all summer. i get to work with the corporations and the city departments to do that in the next few weeks to make that announcement as the kids get ready. the resumeerize already out there. a wonderful time in the city and reflection our strong economy affords the opportunity to do this. with the library, i can't wait to have the team media center open
10:29 pm
