all with the viral goals and obviously with respect to what is most important to me reducing the cost of operations as mr. straus said when you speed up the service it is million dollars over the long haul that translates both service not only on the corridors but corridors throughout the city my own dear mother over 75 years is struggling with a hip problem that prevents her from walk wishes she could walk one feet the transit service can't afford to run service to where she lives that's the big picture i'll say it over and over our resources are dried-up and won't be long i fear that if we're not

more efficient with our resources the limited resources we have we start talking about reduces resources and reducing assess for more people because of all of us can't walk a little bit further or accommodate a little bit of the trade offs so the whole city can include the people that don't have access to the public service or sufficient transit service with that said, i'm going to communicate my support for that. >> thank you director ramos. >> sounds like we have a there is a motion and a second mr. kennedy can i ask you a couple of questions the big theme we're seeing we recognize that sometimes, we can't put those projects in as originally brought to the public we get

feedback and changes i want to clarify this one is not a pedestrians high injury situation along this corridors; correct? >> correct. so you so again, the responses to the proposal is not the responded we were having in 5 or 10 years with the lombard corridor we'll keep in mind we'll continue to make changes from the riding public or the neighborhood public in 5 or 10 years wants to see those changes. >> correct we're we don't had had monitor. >> and not walk away the idea the traffic lights i think that peter central subway brought i know that on residential streets the traffic lights there are is a feeling they'll change the character the streets it is not so much will it be safer it changes the nature of the streets we had that concerns with the 5 route i

believe we're profiling with the traffic kirnz for one or two locates. >> one or two locates. >> those will be built the next year maybe we can look at how those are received and maybe an option for the areas where we were proposing traffic signals did neighbors said it didn't fit the characters of that street do you think we'll be able to do that as we get the traffic lights on the 5. >> we'll learn a lot of as their aligned on mcallister and one location specifically on chestnut that makes a lot of sense is octavia which has proposed for traffic signals over the years they'll stop at that location that's one to keep an eye on. >> it will be interesting to

tool in the toolbox again, the public speaking a lot about you those projects can be difficult there is a motion and a second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? hearing none, that motion carries as well. >> thank you. >> 13 presentation and possible action for the 2017-2018 practical budgets for rates and charges and possible revenue charges and revenue and reductions discussion of the fy 2017-2018 and population based general fund allocations the 2017-2018 operating budget and prevailing changes to the discounts for low income owners and adrc a new fee and amending the transportation code to reflect those changes and rectify other substantive motions. >> thank you director reiskin.

>> madam chair excuse me. one second we have some live inform happening at the moment this item is largely an informational item in its information go through it quickly one aspect that is an action item i recommend you that take right now as we speak that the board of supervisors is delaying consideration of the towing contract you approved. >> few months ago pending this board considerations and approval of the changes to the transportation code to adjust towing and storage the admin and storage fees for people that get their cars toad two year the first time and the low income program i have a whole budget presentation i'll hit the highlights and maybe x punishing

got to that one item to vote on and take the rest of the - if sfgov can go to the presentation quickly through with your framed by the distribution and you've established those the calendars is the same this is the last time before you as a informational item and meantime we'll be reaching to the public we're driven by our goals to make the plans better and the streets safe within the financial picture i've heard from the controller in january or early february to remind you that the outcome from a baseline prevention is shortfalls in both years we need to close we do that by looking at trade offs and priorities that really are the meat of the budget process

to we're looking for your feedback the coming weeks and the public's feedback what we recommend considering and others we don't for the index for the most part so in terms of the operating revenues within one thing to meet we've recently learned of a change the way that the states controller's office is calculating a formula to which our state transit funds and the low carbon upcoming the cap & trade that has a significant impact adverse an impact on the order of digits inverse impacts this is not rescued we need to reflect that on the budget we bring forward and that's the operating baseline amend significantly one and $50 million item that could see it significant we're working

with the california transit association to try to get a different outcome and the expenditures you've seen so to kind of jump on the revenue does the indexing you've seen the fee first on the fairs on the fees those revenue sources on the first page i've put forth i've narrowed did list based on the feedback from the previous meetings the first page on muni fairs on the second page i'll note at the bottom the adjustment it is up for your consideration or would have an impact on the order of 3, 3 and a half million dollars supervisor avalos spoke to the sentiment behind this and one we do support and that i recommend you approve the rest of the information is really for your background this

is responsive for things you've asked us to provide in terms of information on the expenditure side i expanded the list to include all the things that the divisions of the agency has suggested as well as on slide 25 a list of - i'm sorry on slide 26 a list of potential uses of one time part of funds balance to, of course, stay above the minimum but this is based the priorities when we met in january so things there are there for your consideration on the capital does the only thing to make reprehensive on slide 29 we were previously showing somewhat of a decrease within the encourage proposals

it is flat was we're now as shown on slide thirty we're incorporating a assumption we'll have the revenues recommended by the mayors task force specifically the state of california increase and a restoration of the vehicle licenses up to 2 percent that brings in 44 to $65 million additionally every year and dedicated towards transit and streets things particularly we don't have other fund for feet and expansion and facilities as well as additional funds for street safety the rest of the presentation that is what you've seen before just highlights from the capital program and see the complete picture with that, i'll pause and maybe respectfully suggest i don't know from the board of supervisors is still active. >> they're still more items.

>> maybe suggest public comment so one the one recommendation for action in vandals of discussion of the balance. >> actually madam chair you may want to call for public comment on the towing related fees and ask the members of the public that want to speak on the budget to hold off. >> so let's break up public comment on the towing related fees. >> herbert wiener one question on the budget is there any money allocated to paratransit. >> mr. wiener actually that is she's only asked for public comment on the towing fee. >> she'll be back on the budget thank you, mr. wiener. >> good afternoon again and again and yesterday he had the

pleasure of sitting through the discussion of the towing related fees it seems to me maybe i don't know what the supervisors are doing if you have a more racketed fee for the first time offenders and the second and third time higher but the total fees should come from this all necessary monies and hopefully not rounding up too much when you figure out the expenses should come from the folks that have their cars towed transit riders shouldn't pay for this people that don't know how to park their cars carefully or have to get it towed to keep traffic moving if they shouldn't pay we have an example where we passed a couple years ago we said that muni needs more money and based on population increased we have another 27 odd

million dollars a year maybe the wisdom of the city that people should be able to park anywhere anytime but they show come up with that this is it is a transit function not making the city better a safety deal so from the city believes that then the supervisors should find the money someplace but ultimately it might be easier to do lower the fee for the first time offenders and if you lose our car because you know you didn't want to pay the third time offense what we can or we say to you this is one approach thanks a lot of. >> thank you, mr. straus next item, please. >> thank you peter straus for the transit riders and spoke last night we spoke been the

budget and discussion amongst users ever yourselves of the problem of the revenues increases were on the backs of transit riders on the expenditure side were prepared. >> amongst all the users and transit riders and in the current proposal there is still nothing on the revenue suicides from the fee increases that are strikingly tied to the cost of increases i have no problem the reduced towing fees but from zero to now we're 0 minus 3.5 it is important there not be an increase there is a problem if you accept the reduction of tow fees without commentary fees and supervisor avalos mentioned the parking this is an obviously one

to put on the table thank you leave to you and the staff but just talk about a 3.5 reduction the cost from the motorcyclist side that's a problem thank you >> thank you. any more public comment on the tow fee hearing none, decorations input on this have you had a chance to look at this i presume. >> you'll move it do i have a second. >> second. >> great let's go ahead and vote >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? the i's have it. so then thank you. (laughter) i think the board was stalling down there so what way guess i suggest and sorry if there is a little bit rushed you've seen all this before that would be helpful your help on

expenditures >> mr. reiskin why not go and tell you your suggestion is on the revenues where you see us having some feedback to you going i don't want to go through the whole thing again. >> sure thank you i think the proposed revenue sources we have we've with the we recall things like express premium for express buses and a few other things i've taken those out so singularly who is before you on the revenue side is what i suggest notwithstanding the state issue that we have more recent revenue information on some of the other lines so we may be able to anticipate some additional

revenues elsewhere based on the existing fees but i think on the revenue side this essential represents what i recommend i realize one is significant go in the wrong direction but do the right thing we've heard the free muni for youth making muni free for youth up to 18 even though the new age is 17 that brings us into harmony with the rest of the region i feel comfortable making that recommendation any public comment on the revenue side frankly it depends on how much we have to work with we have a lot of good ideas and heard directly from some of the key staff the key division directors on those as we

discussed somewhat at the board retreat i'll not recommend the service increase we'll do another service increase that completes the 10 percent of 12 the t e p recommended that's a lot and given the urban certainties of forecast it is pursuant to hold as much as i'd like to increase the service forever i think of the balance there are some you know some of these are small and some significant there are things within the transit ear for example, that are directly related to safety or that will have a direct offset in terms of oftentimes and fill the classes where we have not yielded enough people therefore people working extremely high numbers of overtime hours every week that

calls if in question how productive can you be if you're working 20 or thirty hours a week over but john haley has prioritized those on the have the does the sustainable streets folks are prioritized for the revenues what they would fund a few in a very specific positions sprinklers throughout the agency but basically one thing we have a rice revenue picture we see which we plug the revenue changes we'll have a fair small amount to work with and i would essential recommend allocating them 24/7 the most incredible safety and overcame of the

critical sustainable streets and maintenance needs and as i said a few can he positions to the extent that the revenues support that and in terms of the fund balance i did try to take to heart the guidance that you provided this with us was burn we'll recommend not by much but probable have to fight with the cfo our fund balance is up above $2 million that is not counting what will accrues at the end of this fiscal year so whether we bring it down back to a 10 percent reserve or some numbers there are critical needs you've safety and efficiency and that was how i arrived at it you see

a bunch of single priorities we've talked about that is one of the best and most efficient things for muni and the city and other things safety oriented, other things that are smaller but critical, so again, using the guidance you gave i'll perhaps recommend i bring you a list that will bring us to 10 percent maybe down to 12 and a half or 15 percent you'll have choices but this is a good use of funds and a number of things we can't fund within the proposed capital budget. >> and where if you funded the full list what is the balance the percentage. >> 9. >> no we have $200 million that so, so

if you reduce by one hundred million dollars. >> publicly dispute my cfo i'll propose showing you option to 15 and bring it down to 10 and maybe something in between a prioritized list i know there is different feels on the board whether we should go down to 10 or 10 is the current guideline. >> yeah. >> okay so going back to may i. >> yes. please. going back to the earlier discussion and some of the proposals you stated prioritize from mr. haley that reduces overtime - today budget from the

savings that is a net cost not an initial cost. >> that's correct. >> so i guess one i know this is important to understand right now we are exceeding the overtime by a lot per year so it is not necessarily budgeted savings but actual savings i believe that the transit finance staff has estimate basically for every dollar we investment in overtime we reduce by $1.15 we'll absolutely see the net savings but other than just budget mask that is actually savings i mean see this is the issue i have with that, if you're showing it to us that is budgeted but the real world we're saving money you're saying and i believe there will be some

modest maybe 15 percent savings in terms of overall budget we shifted from people who are basically over burdening the overtime that will be the regular salaries line. >> i'm not looking to make money but it is one thing to say there is a cost associated of several million dollars but a net effect - >> they ask for different things. >> they projected a 15 percent savings from making this change so i think that is investment that has immediate positive returns on investments but also i think that is a safety issue we have folks working and prosperity folks working an extremely long number of hours. >> thank you.

>> i guess the other thing to say not to restart the fight but for me to know what number we're getting to on the fund balance with accuracy i'm sure will surprises none not favor down to the 10 percent we can add back as we have better projections of where the economy is going as much as that disappoints i'm not going to say i'll oppose any fund balance but conservative and i like the idea of expenditures that are truly one time so we're not building in something we have to do i mean even with signal priorities some small costs of maintenance i want to know that but with that said, the signal priorities and transit those are really an one time expense that could be a

justified use that's the way i view that otherwise i will want to go slowly with the fund balance while some of the things about very good i'm not sure many of them reach the critical crisis stage i think we're using the fund balance above the 10 percent we shouldn't below that that economic presentation we received from the controller's office at argue board retreat suggested that could very well happen again as we make the city more and more reciprocate on transit i think we may have an obligation to increase the fund guidelines and realize as we

push hard you two have been talking to make people take transit it buildings a greater obligation for a rainy day fund that's why i'm more defensive about reserve. >> thank you directors any other one time uses of funds balance i think that director heinecke summoned it up quite well and i do want to go back to the revenue sources and i do want to note as we've noted the towing fees we've approved and the contracts with the board of supervisors approved has put us in another 3.5 hole i think that supervisor avalos had a good point that educated what i talked about the budget is if we

do recognize that people having their cars towed it is a huge hit i don't want to balance that on the backs of the transit riders i really would love to see us - i don't know if it is appropriate in here since that had been a discussion we'll need to happen i'm not suggesting we go back to the sunday meeting situation we had i think we need to target any extension of meter hours incredibly thoughtful employee and target commercial corridors are meters can be at 6:00 p.m. whether thriving restaurant and night life is unheard of in any city having no sunday meters when the intashz and buses are stuck behind cars i think i remember the metering

brought in was $8 million that was some was ticket there is money there definitely to be had i i don't want to see us subsidies the towing contract a worthy worthy goal to help people not to have their cars that is maybe their livelihoods take taken away but manager the resources of the parking we talked about last time about the per hour price cap that we've node changed in four or five years it maximized out we've had on parking meters. >> to raise that cap. >> good i'm glad and the other things the number of passports the fact we're makinged out i want to see targeted meter extensions show up the budget

especially we're in another 3 housing unit $5 million behind anyone else feelings. >> so what - let me rather than asking you questions that is i mpertinent - we've made a deal this was coming back and one of the things we had the state of play for this bonds i'm sensitive to the political bonds sensitive to at some point the future the agency want to issue a new bond i'll be open to other ideas for meter enforcement are other things but want to be sensitive to that context if i may what are some of the ideas

besides sunday is night life enforcement or increased business zones some of the alternative to create revenue. >> so just to remind when we propose sunday the improvement of meters on sunday was not driven by desire to increase revenue that was a desire to increase park availability and it works it relieved congestion that worked the main opportunities are the ones that the vice chair were not right now importing parking regulations at a time some neighborhood like a peak activity like evenings that is a logical place to look for honestly trying to manage parking that needs to be managed

like stopping at of p.m. and a vibrant commercial evening night life district didn't makes a lot of sense so i can't say we kind of reviewed the parking program but generate more revenues but looking at the parts of city and the times of the day we're not managing parking would be an opportunity to advance our transportation policy that may have some revenue benefits. >> and remind me did we ever start that or start the sunday parking but not the night time enforcement. >> we have a evening with the special event area and the port meters go later but the rest of the mta meters outside of the special zones stop at 6:00 p.m. and i would would be open to

exploring that with the outreach to the business exultance effected i'll tell you relying my only personal externals from sunday meters and talked to every business owner the west portal we hate it we hate it we did it and they love it love it we don't have the same outreach but i for one will be open with that outreach to the business community especially because i think there are business corridors that welcomed the enforcement thought that will help the out-of-towner the business i said it better and agree with sheryl. >> thank you if i may. >> thank you and i want to second that comment that director heinecke made if we were to go forward with any augmentation of any meters e.r. spending housing or what have you, we have best to

work with the businesses and the faith community it is one of the things ami i've going come to understand eloquently from folks that were advocating from the community was the process of displacement and gentrification and pushing people who grew up in san francisco out of the community and having sunday be the one time they can felt like they could come back into the community and reconnect with their networks and what have you given the rates of displacement particularly with the african-american community i think we will owe to working with the pastors and direction bridges flagged that if we did that it would be a good way to go about it working with the

faith community as well as the businesses because i do believe what we'll find that there will be support for not just extending the time of the meters but maybe augmenting the costs of the parking so we can get nor turn around but enforcing the sunday meters the way thai do in commercial districts and what have you i'll be looking forward to that to look through any options maybe to continue to explore. >> if i can add one more thing as a board we're often you know quick to tell director reiskin what we can't do what is unpopularity and what is popular i'll say i agree as much as i would love to extend the service but the your recommendation is the responsible one to make sure

we have the long term funding before, before we augment those up and down reduction is really detrimental so you know just to give cover i agree so we'll see a more sustained funding path i'll not be in favor of the additional service increase. >> uh-huh. >> good. >> thank you. >> bless you. >> i had to watch this go by the couldn't get on it was so bystanders bad i was late to an earlier meeting to get on the train the train cars is coming. >> thank you, thank you. >> director reiskin can we talk about under proposed revenue sources on page 15 the discount for cooperate users on a robust discussion about the availability of the clipper

cards and pg&e the folks that use cash the fairs are going to go up we are going to allow clipper users those fairs so not go up the $0.25 is that the structure. >> no (laughter) i know that was. >> cash penalty. >> i know that was the discuss but we will not be realizing revenue benefit that - i believe crock me. >> that's good. >> i'm glad you clarified it i know this will do that will add an extra quarter to what the fair table on the previous two pages back right. >> just for those who are paying in physical cash not clipper cash but. >> if you're a clipper holder

your subject to the index but if you pay cash above the i guess by a quarter. >> and there's two our point about availability this is absolutely work that we'll need to do and do another round of free clipper cards for the vendor network we don't penalize them if they're on clippers. >> we want to recognize for us handling of the cash comes with added costs and security issues and all of those additions as well. >> and slower buses. >> slower buses thank you. >> all right. thank you i'm glad we clarified that that was something i'm supportive decorations imagine director reiskin you feel we've not touched on. >> i think there was a beginning of a public comment

paratransit someone that is expressed interest the paratransit program is opportunity the operating budget particle from the sales tax from the operating budget and the capital budget it contemplates the replacement of the existing fleet and expansion so i know there was a paratransit presentation a number of months ago so there recent a pretty good funding on the capital side to finger that and the paratransit new contract is currently being negotiated and the costs are going on and paratransit we essentially authorized our contractor and actually went to the board of supervisors to get legislation approved that will protect the wages of the workers that prairie at that time was the right thing to do it is inching

up our costs somewhat, but i think that you know, i think that is important i think that is the only other kind of open issue and like i said the change the state grant we maternity know more by april 5th if not we may need to take some of these expansion items to the extent we can afford them and maybe propose putting them on a reserve with the resolution of issues if we have to take an 8 digit hit on revenues anticipated we don't want to start spending the money. >> i read the letter that we got via e-mail the mtc wrote regarding that has there been any response from the state yet in terms of taking another look at that. >> the best understanding we have now they believe they that

the change they made is actually consist with the state law to change that back to go the way it was would be state law that's the california transit association is pursuing you know ideally to get the vehicle ♪ legislative session ♪ calendar year to get that fixed the state controller's office i understand their position is technically the way it right creating the outcomes that make sense no sense the transit agency are recommend we revert to the old interpretation by macro the state law clear >> thank you directors if i have no other questions comments public

comment. >> (calling names). >> molly is she here. >> no. (calling names) the 20/20 speaker cards i have. >> if you could turn in a speaker card. >> peter straus again just one idea on meters i wanted to mention i've never understood why staff has resisted not putting meters in rpp zones and allow the parking permitting proprieties to allow to feed the meters especially on the commercial zones that makes a lot of sense but the staff relieved resisted i ask you not retreat if the service increase if so not frivolous it is not enough i can list a number of areas that have grown one the muni forward proposals and that was originally identified as requiring the 2 percent

and second is the equity that show not be taken out of services that was suggested in the materials before are and third just a growth needs before the city fifth and - fourth is the additional service needs not being addressed in terms of night time specifies we're aware not adequately addressed and we're inquiring the light rail vehicles within this budget year there is nothing in this budget year to pay for expanded serves those are expanded vehicles and no funds to pay for it what will we do with them and also i don't see that as contrary to the maintenance support that john high on a hill it calls to me i didn't expressions and

continues to be problematic whenever a measure to increase the operating budget support this commission either is silent or actually states between the board where the additional - thank you >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> howard he's gone herbert wiener followed by tom. >> herbert wiener to return to my delayed questions about better transit i think that is really are to note if you're dwp fees and the disabled to take paratransit there should be adequate resources to accommodate them i don't see any indication of that you have to take into consideration are they using paratransit is absent argument you have to stand by that

so those are my concerns thank you. >> p thank you, mr. wiener. >> tom the last person to turn in a speaker card. >> thank you, tom paratransit my little sister said i'm a muni man the day may come i'll be using it more butize enjoy the lifts and the ramps the new ram extension there are harder to push-up especially a list up and another list up include one single straight ram up as soon as you take you're hands off the wheels to push

them backwards the lift is making our wheelchair go backward and when you get a double lift a first and second rise that second rise i can't do that we want to push if you able to it moves it exercise helps on other public school commenters it is hard to get here he go down on the second story the number of new buses are they the same or more or less than the buses their replacing or increasing like the giants land use and transportation stadium 15 hundred homes, 11 thousand jobs and i understand

that you mentioned you can only get on the in lines are we creating more standing room is that part of this goal here the next part has anyone seen the bus factory it is huge or big or superfluous you know, i just wanted to know if anyone has seen them thank you yes, thank you. >> just to speak to some of that if you like on paratransit not only are we exuding a new contract but an mandate we don't have the option san francisco harassed over the years been a leader in paratransit so we will absolutely provide the level of paratransit service there is

demand for in termsf the lifts on the vehicles vetting through the services from the mayor's office on disability we definitely heard the february and tongue taking notes so we'll see anything we can sided to make the lifts work better for people coming on manually the bus fleet weren't only expanding but replacing some of the informative feet with 60 feet buses nor buses and bigger buses that will bring us and give us more capacity and i have least ones or once been to a bus factory argue transit director was there next week. >> about number of staff that are at the factories making sure overseeing buses are built right

so for the most part. >> that was for discussion equipment for the towing contraction that concludes. >> item 14 for whether or not to go into closed session while they're doing that okay item 15 in the meantime the drorngz met to discuss the stench and the reevaluation of the tip line with the city attorney the board voted to smelt that decided the labor negotiation and no anticipation whether to dloeshgs information move not to disclose argue

scald system and prohibits the eviction during the school year the current legislation expands the existing legislation to include all no fault evictions so that families with children in our system can not be evicted during the school year for evictions related to condominium conversion and substantial rehabilitation the second thing it includes educator and we define educators as people that work in san francisco continentals directing with students and home daycare's both public and private this not only includes the teacher a classroom a paraprofessional an administrator a psychologist or security guard or liaison a cafe worker janitor or school nurse

we know that san francisco is facing an affordability crisis if this affordability crisis that impacts our education in terms of the crisis in housing the san francisco retirement board provided the data that shows that there were 2000 notices of eviction filed between be marking 2014 and 2015 this is a significance 55 increase compared to the 5 year period before that wrpts with regards to no fault 4 hundred and 38 vibrations were on record if you ask the advocates the number will probable be do you believe that number the impact on families with children raises concerns

many families who are veektsdz can't afford to stay in san francisco and therefore are forced to leave san francisco but not just the families themselves from the family is evicted the impact can be felt if an educator is evicted not only of that educator and his or her family by the students that are educated by his or her that's why this legislation make sense and to put it into context of what it means to a school worker let's look at the salary for a full kre7b89d teacher is less than 3 thousand 4 hundred conflict of interests a month that teacher has to if they want to stay in san francisco facing an eviction they have to deal with the market where a one bedroom apartment the medium rental prices for the one bedroom apartment is 3 thousand

6 hundred and 20 more than the entire money they make within a month the issue is worse foyer a paraprofessional here in san francisco a paraprofessional their average salary is $2,083 a month imagine living on that when you have to pay 3 thousand plus for a one bedroom a december 2015 professional survey by the educators of san francisco that represents payrolls and teachers found that 70 percent of all responded to that survey and 59 percent were concerned with the high cost of living in san francisco this is impacting the educators of our city x baiting the issue san francisco, california ray and nationally a school teacher and staff shortage problem

pursue the number of people enrolled the program has dropped if a 45 thus to fewer 20 thus and that is between 2008 and 2013 and at the end of the school year last year we have nine hundred openings the school district alone and an insufficient number of substitute teachers we had a hearing pointing out that because of the high cost of living that we have the school district unable to hire all the substitutes it needs this ordinance about help mitigate the impact of displacement of educators and families 2 will be something simply needs jeer we can know that city has taken steps to help the educators those findings steps require that we actually it takes time to do some of the things we've talked about we have programs to

create housing for teachers that it takes time for those findings projects to have an impact unless we act now and today by the time we do something we will have los lost so much of the educators i take the opportunity to thank you the staff hillary and my legislative aid that has worked on that for quite a few of the i want to acknowledge the critical role that the midnight educators lee the audience and others if usf and particular i 2079 acknowledge the work of dean preston the decker the tenants together this is actually something that came out of the work that dean has been doing in his neighborhood it's been dean's brainchild working with the tenants throughout the

to thank you, very much and especially you supervisor campos for including us thank you. >> thank you supervisors and especially supervisor campos for introducing that i'm depa and in any years of being an eviction defense lawyer i've seen first hand benefits the children bend from the existing law and transitions or calmed the panic and were able to enter the school system without a crisis in that - i've seen first hand time after time the panic here that people experience when they get an eviction notice and to be able to keep for the entire school community the costs to mitigate that a little bit makes

we'll built plans for the affordable housing for educators in the future we need to protect those findings who are affordablely housed doing everything we can as supervisor campos legislation does to protect educators from evictions i want to echo something depa said the enormous amount of stress eviction folks are under and the amount of centers the families and educators are already under even without an eviction so far educators would low salaries to struggle to afford the city and hard work of taking care of and educating our youth a adding an eviction on top of that makes that stress unbearable and the least we can do make sure that didn't occur and disrupt the school community

>> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi, i'm 101 restraining order less represent the senior action there's an excellent book by the late frank called teacher men an excellent book gives us appreciation for that profession i grew up here and went to various schools to enlivening peabody and george washington we had teachers that had a stake like by the time my teacher as george washington high school that lives in the community my writing any career as a writer i owe to the entertain the fact teachers are consulting out of town and walking up at 3:30 in the morning they need

consideration for the priority why else will they take a job that pays so little unless they see a need for fulfilling a need like that i appreciate supervisor campos for bringing up to legislation and again, please read the book teacher man by frank la court about the thirty years in taken care of in new york city and give you a very poignant graceful sniebt into teaching in that job. >> good afternoon, supervisors my name is kevin bogus work a nonprofit and san francisco native born and raised i'm here to ask you to support support is it teachers play a vital

component in presenting the students and in fear of eviction is something they don't need to suffer an as negative impact and as someone that attended san francisco schools we had a lot of teacher turnover your favorite teacher about varnish has an negative impact on the kids i want to ask you to support this and continue to take steps to prevent the working-class families from being evicted in san francisco thank you. >> afternoon supervisors supervisor avalos thank you for this legislation my name is a connie ford the vice president of the council no way i'm here to represent the council fully behind this legislation a beautiful and

wonderful piece of legislation we're trying to entrap emil with the economic disparities in san francisco i thought i'll tell you both of my children were born and raised and went through public schools i remember the day any girls kindergarten teacher had to leave it broke her heart she didn't want to go to school i have a granddaughter going to betsey carmichael is in love with her teacher if he left it would be hard to pick up the pieces so children who need the support and love not only of their families but of their institutions so we're grateful for this legislation to keep over families together and to keep our schools supporting our children so thank you very much for this.

>> thank you thank you connie my colleagues reminded me how heartbroken i would be yes, ma'am ma is one year ahead of me (laughter) sorry fred go ahead. >> i love the small towns i'm sarah from human rights committee we were a kid we had to move around and most years my parents were able to wait for the summers i remember the awful year i was behind on everything. >> and how much i was bullied in school a new place that was totally different and hundreds of families with kids it come into our office with the human rights committee

and it is really scary to help them fight evictions and the choices to take care of their children and the status show that moving the middle of the year and pulling u pulled out in general sets kids back months in schooling increases the risk of smoking before their 18 and increases the risk of teen suicide i don't think that is too much to ask the lrpdz left hand to wait for a no fault eviction i wish the kids could stay no matter what when it was about money but we don't seem to be able to do that so let's help the children. >> thank you. next speaker.

>> good afternoon, supervisors and chair malia cohen my former student with katie tang we could have a reunion one of the beautiful things of being in a big town smaller city to retain the communities between classrooms and teachers and other school staff when people can afford to stay in town so back in ancient 1985 i taught with a nice studio apartment with 15 and gerrero housing was not an object of solicitation today, we know a change in housing in san francisco and that there is indeed a crisis and this crisis is exacerbated by the fact that has been noted a national state and local

crisis in the teacher shortage how is sfusd going to be able to recruit the best and bright i did have university students to teach in san francisco if they can't see a way to dig down with roots in the city and maybe have the audacity to raise a family almost a growth the number of omgz is seven hundred in 1906 perhaps the worst housing crisis in history this city historians note radical around the disposed and the homeless in tents and the tripod communities and we rebuilt this city burn ever brerg into a historic gentrification and disruption of school community that is a great piece of legislation it is one -

>> thank you to my left is. >> san francisco free market affordable housing for our teachers why not build the the police force own their housing village no four story high poor village and can't provide housing with the teachers low income or free housing just for teachers see as a teacher they will work like a nonprofit organization career see with our children of

the energy the activities something with full fullness and achievement they guarantee themselves their security especially, when they live close to the colleges schools for time to prepare for the curriculum and students thank you. >> thank you supervisor campos thank you for bringing this measure i'd like to add my name if it is not on it. >> you're not. >> thank you. please add me i want to acknowledge the educators thank you for coming and sharing our perspectives on the urgency supervisor campos is there anything the you want to add. >> if i may madam chair thank to the amazing speakers the people that took time out of

they're busy schedules all the folks that spoke you know just made the point better than i or anyone should but we talked about the teachers and paraprofessionals it is critical not just them but a lot of workers that play a critical roll in the education of our children's and thank you for your support. >> no more if you remember public comment public comment is closed. let's see supervisor any other future discussion colleagues supervisor wiener. >> please. thank you, madam chair i'm happy to support this legislation i think that teachers and educators in general are in a unique progression and having disruptions the mid of a school year in addition to the

observance terrible bureaucrats on the educators impacts our children and we need to make sure our kids are referring all the education and 2014 and so forth they need i'm happy to support. >> is that a motion. >> yes. pile move forward to the i make a motion to send it to the full board with a positive recommendation. >> we'll take that without objection. that madam clerk, any other business before this committee? >> throw the baby out with the bath water thank you leakage this meeting is adjourned clapping

>> i want to welcome everyone here today and today, we are signing this very important piece of legislation and let me begin by thanking supervisor

wiener so far his instead of leadership the sponsoring the legislation that will raise the minimum angle for anyone purchasing tobacco products and e cigarettes to the average 24 and that will take effect on july 1st of this year i know that supervisor wiener along with his co-sponsors supervisor mar and supervisor cowen and supervisor farrell and ultimately the entire board had a adopted this and this i know that the supervisors with working closely with our duty 0 who has been documenting why it is showing so important to continue our efforts as a city if not as a state to continue be rooiktd the access to cigarettes particularly at journeying or younger ages that is advocated by the groups like the tobacco

free coalition i want to thank them they're not just here in san francisco but the entire region and all over the country working with the health department making sure that supervisor wiener and not only pay attention it the science and data it is going on but that we do our best to end the suffering that is brought by by long-term smoking that obviously is the cause of cancer and asthma and heart disease we do our best to educate the public in doing so if not the industry that sells overseeing products and ultimate our kids are your family when in their 18 and 19 is shown that the coalition has shown over and over you're putting that some 95

percent of long term smokers had begun smoking at the age of 18 perhaps younger and as certain under the age of 21 those habit are so hard to end voluntarily so that's why we have to go to many other front to try to do this and that's why i think that the supervisor wiener has found a person cause and public health health cause if the violation kriebs the department of health to make sure that we do what we can to end our these diseases as much as we can to make sure that we also reflect as the mayor of the city if we can save a lot of money if we are able the medical systems we have to have in place

it treat cancer and asthma with smoking is an incredible experience to the public safety the cleaner air with the coalition work on families that second-hand smoke impacts this has another critical reason why we want to do as much as we can and i think we're on the overview we know that supervisor wiener is already in contact with the governor's office as we are and with his the 1184 particularly senator leno and senator henry's to insure that the state which maybe hopefully in our minds the second to join hawaii to end the sales of tobacco products and less people under 9 age of 21 it doesn't

make it right because your 21 you buy tobacco products wild to end it. everyone hopefully with the adult level of age 21 that people make better health decision tore themselves and their family so i take this opportunity to thank the coalition i know that in looking at the data as they have done in working with us this year was a strong sense interest the data it the smoking rates are higher amongst people of closer and amongst the let the record reflect community and other xhucht we rank it with a hard impact sales work that is done by tobacco industry the may or may not lgbt community that's where we really have good data to show that the more we do to educate your communities be

about this the better off we'll be so with all that background i want to say to supvisor wiener you have again showing the good leadership i'm going to give the pen avenue we sign this your accumulate more pens than anyone but thank you for your leadership and also working with such important groups like the tobacco free coalition supervisor wiener i'd like to invite you up here to say a few words >> thank you, mayor ed lee i'll give that pen to the advocates and the district for they're really horroric work tutor sing a song full of the hope that the present has brought us; 24 legislation in a way that highlights this critically important issue san francisco for many years has

been on the cutting-edge of public safety whether around hiv or led pant and sugar sweetened beverage whatever the case weave been from the forefront and once again we are in the fire hydrant of what i hope will be a tile waive of proving health legislation that eliminates tobacco use in this country this is a huge problem we've been involved in a 50-year struggle but with the tobacco city that produces a product with no benefit whatsoever that kills a half a million people every year 34 is a serious issue and serious punting kiss i'm proud we live in a city where we can be on the cutting-edge where the politics of this city

allows us at city hall to make good progressive policy i also want to say we know we're up against a very well financed component the tobacco destroy for decades has fought ever effort to try to control tobacco use and enemy linkage between their pursuit and the health we know that hillsborough tried to do that they have spent their legislation after an expensive lawsuit by the tobacco industry we in san francisco are willing to fight that fight that is amount about our city thank you to the department of public health we sometimes don't roles e releases how lucky with the best putting department that supports our efforts to make

good laws that vascular critical exercise an amazing agency and our advocates for give us the political spouse space to to be able to do this and as the mayor adu u. >> you allowed we passed that legislation a week and a half good and the law jam the state assembly broke we that republicans willing to raise the tobacco age to 21 to pass senator leno's forward-looking bill to make sure that cigarettes are tobacco are still a way to get addicted to nicotine and will you the tobacco tax it is a huge step forward i hope goes to the governors desk thank you, everyone (clapping.)

so are we ready to safe so far lives i'll add one mount reason not in my notes or the legislation but it is about my history about 10 years ago a mayor asked me to pick up cigarette butts as a public works decorator i say to all the public works staff that work hard if there was less settings that's another reason to sign on the legislation; right? yes all right. (clapping.) (laughter). >> today's date is - >> 16.
