was the complexity of our budget and the choices that very often department heads have to make. this process had 2 main priorities, investing in early care and education system and looking to address the needs of district 7. today as we wrap up the board process, i am proceed that we were able to add all most 2 million dollars in funding for early care and education. i also was able to advocate for expanded funding for participatory budget so district 7 resident will be able to allocate funding to your priorities. in addition to these items, i was able to fight for increased funding for senior services youth art service [inaudible] a model street that will teach young people to navigate our city

streets safely. beyond the priorities that is-my priorities, this is a budget we can all be proud of. it has economic development, education, community [inaudible] park squz open space and food security was funded pretty well, pedestrian safety, city beautifulication. it is a interesting process and i'm glad i have been able to be part of it to see a city budget that supports the needs of our peepal in the city. >> thank you supervisor yee. supervisor kim >> i also want to acknowledge our budget chair and committee for the good work they kid on the 8.9 billion dollar budget. i wanted to highlight things i thought were good addition tooz the budget and recognize the mayors office for including the

asks in his budget, primarily the expanded 24 hour medical shelter that is opening in the south of market. really for the individuals to live on the streets and need the treatment, not just shelter that can often be inadequate but care through nurses and psychologist on site. we are exsided about that expansion over the next 2 years. also his support for 4 permanent tenderloin and [inaudible] public restrooms which are incredible successful. in the tenderloin we had a 60 percent reduction of steam cleaning request since the pilot started last july and provides relief with dignity for residence who don't want to go to the bathroom on the streets and have a safe and clean space to do it. through

the budget we are happy to see the 4 victim witness advocates for the district attorney [inaudible] as well as financial support. really excited by the pretile releelf unit. defendants will get early attorney support during the hearing and be reliefed if they are not a danger to the public. supervisor farrell mentioned the city wide education for vision zero which is a kim pount of insureing we achieve zero fatailties for traffic accidents and funding for [inaudible] we have 72 liquor store squz a very small foot print of the tenderloin neighborhood. i'm excited by tenant support, esl [inaudible]

as well as increased support of housing and financial aid for families facing homelessness and make sure they stay housed and not end up in the shelter system and other emergency systems. want to recognize all the work by the budget committee, very impressive end. i also want to thank the mayors office again for their work in making sure the budget process occurs smoothly throughout the months sints they funded many things prior. >> thank you supervisor kim. supervisor avalos >> thank you president breed, i want to thank the budget committee and chair mark farrell for your work on putting toorthd the budget the mayors office for bringing the budget to us balanced for us to work through over the past couple months. this is a budget with just about everything in it. one thing that isn't in it i need to point out. even though we had

a growing budget we didn't take about responsibility of taking care of trees in the city. we actually have parts of san francisco that are fairly middle class, working clas where people own their home squz take care of trees that used to be part of the cities maintenance, was something that is very very difficult for many people to do and feel as the budget was growing that is something we could have spent some of our funds on. i look at line item in my budget that perhaps i can work with dpw to see if we can program the hardships many house holds face in taking care of trees that can be flaub nob through friends of the urban forest or other organizations that can take care of the trees we see like on streets like purshia and excelier where trees are a big part of the beauty of our

streets. i also want to point our vision zero program has only been supported only on 2 major parts, the engineering part, our education part and the third part of vision zero-enforcement. we look at enforcement and engineering but the education part is severely lacking and what we put in the budget this year is beef up the education program with real program for public service announcements looking to see if we can contract out an organization that is well versed in how we can inform the public in a way that people can work towards changing their own behavior of how we are driving on the streets, riding bikes on the streets and crossing the streets. we need to look out more for each other and be more aware of how we share the streets with everyone so the program is a big part of that. i want to thank you supervisor

yee and kim for their push on vision zero and believe this is a element that will help make us get the biggest bang for our effort in the effort to have no fatalities in 2020. lastly i want to talk about-i talked about last week our housing bond, that was a big part of what we changed in the the budget and something i expect we will all be supportive of and transformative for san francisco and hope to see district 11 is well served by the dollars for support for affordable housing. congratulations to san francisco in the time of great prosperity. i hope we can see city government do what it should do is taking care of all of us across the city in a way we expect it to work. thank you. >> thank you supervisor avalos. colleagues can we take these items same house same call as

afterwards there would be a 30 day date timeframe which fr which a resolution is introduced at the board of supervisors and passed and adopted in order for the transaction sale to go through. i think that amendment addresses the concerns that were raised that the board of supervisor would not have the aability to way in on the agreement and give our director of real estate the ability to compete competitively in the market given the circumstances. colleagues i make a motion to amend the legislation as i stated and pending that i hope we can pass the overall item. >> supervisor tang made a maegz to amend, is fl a second? >> second by supervisor mar. colleagues can we take this amendment without objection? without objection the amendment passes. supervisor kim. >> thank you i just want to make comments on 30 van ness

project. first i want to say i do support a unified city office building. i think it is important that we insure men adepartments are in the same place and location because often i think that can make it easier for many of the residence and developers that come with a project and have to go through multiple projects. i think it also helpwise coordination and we can update the offices that exist. i did have concerns about the process by which this came to us. i think it makes sense for us to approve what is commonly called the good will project where we partner with office buildings along with residential development. before we approve the sale of 30 van ness approving will hamper our ability in 134 ways if that option isn't the best one because we will have sold the

building for development. it might have made sense to couple with 1660 and 1680 mission and maybe could have gotten a stronger deal with 3 sites and a better deal around affordable housing. i do recognize the good work the department of real estate is doing. i want to make sure we maximize the value of the site and appreciate your work on the aamendment because i felt very uncomfortable with a approval not coming back to the full board so i want to thank you for your work on that with supervisor katy tang. i will support both the amendments and this ordinance before us today. >> thank you supervisor kim. colleagues can we take this item same house same call? >> president breed can we take
