>>: thank you supervisor, mar? supervisor yee. >>: legislation for file, i have dedicated my life making san francisco a family friendly city. in january this board passed an ordinance to pass an child care impact fee. this alone will not address the needs for call -- quality care for our children.
7:59 am
the legislation i am introducing today has gone through a number of revisions. this legislation will be first in the nation creating a program -- building -- if passed this program will be the first of its kind. developers, rental projects will have the option -- to be dedicated to these child care programs. we have a need for quality child care and this would be a way to start addressing some of this.

8:01 am
is taking place. it allows fees from -- and then using the proceeds to turn those units into permanently affordable housing. the legislation that the mayor and i are introducing today offers a fourth choice. to allow that the fees stay in the neighborhood by investing in a
8:02 am
small site acquisition -- this fund was started in 2014 and has stabilized. this will allow even more permanently affordable housing. we need to make sure that the benefits stay in the neighborhood where it's taking
8:03 am
place. i also want to acknowledge the work of sheila -- who worked to make this possible, the rest i submit. >>: one of the organizations that is separating 20 years -- i wanted to ask if colleagues can join us in celebrating an organization that really believes in democracy and access for every one. i wanted to say that the founder was one of the original founders of -- to have a digital libraries
8:04 am
that has everything -- it's access to home movies of our neighborhoods over the years but the internet archive is in only old church. the celebration begins tomorrow at 5 pm. attendants can scan a
8:05 am
book. they're doing that for different libraries and different systems around the world. they can look at virtual reality game -- 5 pm is kind of the hands on demo. also folks can look back at some of the defining digital moments in the past 20 years.

8:17 am

8:18 am
the earths a sensitive place. we must treat is accordingly as we go about living out our lives. >>: thank you. next speaker please. >>: i'm asking for corporation in opening up an investigation. a lot of the tenants are noticing missing -- we believe

8:21 am
struggled to meet with her. on very complicated matters you can't get anything done. it seems to me, i'm begging the board of supervisors to consider giving the residents, rent ers rights because the rules that were -- i ask you to consider this and i know i can't go to the district supervisor because she doesn't do anything for us. >>: seeing no other speakers. >>: any other members of the public? now closed. ma'am clerk. let's go to the

8:29 am
my script. her leadership in establishing ethnic studies and in our studies, often the politician take credit for everything. it's the youth that really lift us up and make it easy for the board to claim -- she also is a faculty member -- beyond teaching to respond to the lack of social and
8:30 am
emotional challenges. i don't think the state of california would have passed the ethic studies -- each year pep is proud to have produced hundreds of the
8:31 am
8:32 am
8:33 am
8:34 am
book that . i really want to appreciate, thank you for giving me this
8:35 am

8:36 am
>>: it's my honor -- he is a counselor. he has count less accomplishments. he serves as a role as a support er. he always seeks out to support students who are new to the united states. i heard that in the last year about 900 visits to the center. that's a high number there. he started an
8:37 am
anti-bullying event. he started health i'd /ol. it's a competition. presented as a cdc in georgia. he also started the improve group. every thursday they meet at lunch to practice. gives feedback. he started the club as a fund-raiser for a trip where they helped build an
8:38 am
elementary school. he works carefully with the transition and early warning to help students who are in need. he was also the driving force for the students at lincoln. prevent, make sure that the support is appropriate and make sure that the faculty knows what is going on. he also dances hip hop. he
8:39 am
helps teach the students how to dance. he is also a professional dance instructor. they will be performing at city haul on friday november 4th. so for everything that he has done to help our community and beyond, i extend my deepest gratitude to you. thank you. >>: i'd like to thank the board of supervisors. one thing that we were talking
8:40 am
about in the back -- we are a very invisible community. when i started in the district i worked at franklin. they said to me where have you been? nobody knows that we are here. nobody talks to us. and working with the kids at lincoln they show me their essays and i ask them why are your heros white? why recreating stories about the dominant culture. it starts here with recognizing a community that is doing great
8:41 am
work. so thank you again and thank you to all of the others for the great work that you are doing in the city. >>: thank you supervisor, weiner. i am honoring two individuals who are not here today. they are making a difference throughout san
8:42 am
francisco. the food truck -- long time friends and restaurant owners. he had the ambition and hasn't looked back. it is only a matter of time that it would be a fusion rolling restaurant in our city. it's composed of family recipes. they took the portability of their favorite mexican dishes.
8:43 am
and even the name is a fusion of filipino and mexican. i hear raving reviews of them all of the time. i want to congratulate them. >>: thank you very much. we're going to go to -- supervisor peskin?
8:44 am
>>: legacy businesses have disappears. we're lucky to have him celebrate. >>: over a quarter of a century ago he opened his own
8:45 am
shop where he provided retail, custom shoes. after running a string of in store boutiques, and pursuing his love of fashion , later in 2011 he moved
8:46 am
8:47 am
8:48 am
8:49 am
. it wasn't like we have today where it's one of the most expensive cities. one of the things about a small business is to get involved. with the merchant community , with
8:50 am
the supervisors and there is an effect that can happen. that happened with me in the mission. and sometimes you are a victim of your own success. because now you stay in a place for 25 years and it's difficult to continue. i would hope that this would resonate with this board that it's difficult for me to continue. it's difficult to build a team and i know with some of the board over here are doing a great job of making the city affordable for small business. and thank you for this honor.
8:51 am
>>: thank you so much. actually i was going to begin today to honor a member of our filipino community member. we an unexpected passing of a great community leader. i do want to recognize /a /hreurb a

8:56 am
always told me two things other than respecting our families. having a quality education and involving filipinos and the community in the political process. while working with others to make community s stronger and healthy for all.
8:57 am
i know that there needs to be a lot of work to be done. that is why i feel that her -- with my sister having worked for the filipino education center, and for myself working with the cultural center, which advocates for workers rights, i know -- she would always encourage me to always meet her other
8:58 am
contacts. i would look forward to meeting with you or working with you in the future in the different avenues that she introduced me to. it is about helping and giving back to the community. thank you again, board of supervisors. thank you again. >>: thank you for being here on be half of your family and your grandmother. it was a big loss for the bay area to hear of her passing.
