>> (clapping.) >> good morning, everybody. and welcome to the entering sunset i'll honored to be here but represent this district thank you to the mayor and the many city departments that will help make the neighborhoods a better community for those to live and tlieft i was a former member of the african-american when we made investments into renovating the place and making that beautiful i noticed the difference when someone would drop something on the ground i saw kids picking up trash i saw kids painting the graffiti that was sometimes get placed on the building i saw people from the community planning department staff trees and doing whatever we could to make sure that we protected our space we protected our building and protected our community doing this work is an important
3:56 am
part of protecting the community and making the community better when you have pride in our community all of a sudden you notice a difference that's what it is about making sure the dollars we invest that all the city departments make it out to the residents all over the city so the quality of life improves it not just about picking up trash it is not just about covering up graffiti it is about making sure we all play a role and the residents of those communities can play a role in helping us to gnat some of the issues they counter and calling 311 you notice there is something or legally or trash when you notice graffiti and want to report something not an emergency call 311 and when there is an emergency when you see a crime happening the car break-ins make sure. >> call but us the police

3:59 am
break-ins and watching people struggle with mental illness and i'm happy that sandra and the mayor recognize the problems are all connected not dealt with separately the city agencies need to work together trash, crime mental illness all those things have to be dealt with what we're doing is in the past clearly not working or not working in my opinion so i'm glad to have everybody here the streets all right look way cleaner than yesterday and i hope this will be more than a one-day event but 6 months from now and want to of the efforts in whatever way the city agency needs to make things happen and
