agendized. and part of it is going toward community development and i have a bias because i'm an educator, as well as a scientist. i'm working with the air district in dealing with a particulant because too often in these meetings i'm the only person of african descent that can express any knowledge. if you could express to lennard that we need scientists. right now at san francisco state when i was there 66% have graduated. i hired freshmen to work with me on research four years ago nd i wasn't to the association as i was the dean

and from 66 to 1% i'm desperate to look at those who have come behind me and take my place. i'm retired. if you can encourage those in the area of the sciences so they can afford living in san francisco. because some of the jobs they're talking about, minimum wage, $15, retail, they are not, unless they get subsidized housing, being able to work, many are city workers, many are your teachers that are teaching in the unified districts secondary and elementary cannot afford to live in san francisco. we don't want to go like santa clara where all of the city workers work outside the city. so if you can focus on the impact, in this case, bayview point i would be happy to mentor them and work with lennard as i talked to koffi bohnher and his son is in santa cruz in environmental science and, sure, he can come and work with me.

but i'll stick to the work where science is and i don't choose sides. and that is part of my passion why i'm still involved. i've been all over the world, asia, africa, working with the u.n. and the rest and i need backup. i've earned my gray hair. i'm growing bald but i need the next generation. i'm blessed. five of my colleagues are physicians and one exgirlfriend my parents were dying with a team of doctors with love and compassion in their heart. we need that in the environmental community because we're just a statistic or a figure and dispassionate. and i have the passion because these are my friends and neighbors that i'm talking about. i thank you for listening to me. thank you. >> thank you. >> ella-louise patton. >> good evening now. it was afternoon before. as i stand before you once again there are two items i would like to speak to you. one is the

bundling of the rfp that went out. i spoke to some contractors that went to the prebid yesterday. they were not pleased with the way the meeting was organized. they did not feel that they had enough information to give a solid bid. and the question is: who is going to be the general contractor? there just needs to be some more guidelines and a bit more information given out. i also had two contractors that were here that are lbe's and they had to leave. they said they never got notification. so i just wanted to bring that up again and it will be a subject that you will hear me bring up again i have no doubt. the last issue i want to bring up is commissioner leah pinnatell and i understand that this is her last meeting and i would like to recognize her as being a family working person from the community that has represented the community well. i want to thank her for all of her hard work, for all of her -- see, you guys don't see the meetings that she goes to. huh guys don't see her running

up and down the street one or the other. you don't see her with side bhararas and for that i want to give you an applause that you are very much due. [ applause ] now having said that i want to make sure that this commission appoints someone that is representative of district 10 of the area where all of the capital projects are being done. we want to make sure that we get a working person that understands all of the challenges of people that are in bayview and not somebody that does not have -- that is out of touch with the feel and the cult your of the community. so as we move forward and we're looking for appointments and you can believe i'm looking for people to submit names to you, several names. but i want you to keep in mind, because of the amount of development that's going on in district 10, we need representation on this body. i want to thank all of you for your hard work. and thank you for listening to me so much. >> thank you. >> thank you.

no more speakers. >> hearing none and seeing none, we're closing public comments. next item, please. >> the next order of business is item seven, report of the chair. mr. advice chair? >> well, she beat us to it. i was just going to report out the last meeting. we'll be doing something formally later. but you are leaving us to pursue some really interesting things. and we owe you a lot of and we also wish you a lot of luck and know that we'll be missing you but we need to get someone from the community. so i'm glad that you were there for a while. thank you very much. we'll be doing something later on. thank you.

>> thank you. >> the next item? >> the next item of business is number eight the report from the director. madam director? >> nothing at this time. everything has been said. yes. >> the next order of business is item nine, commissioners' questions and matters. mr. advice chair? >> do we have any? you're good oh. commissioner? >> i just wanted to say today's my last day on the commission, but it's been an absolute pleasure serving on this commission and really seeing people go into their homes. at the last ribbon-cutting we had in mission bay, when i was going out, i actually got to talk with one of the african-american home owners and hear how happy he is to go into a hoax day, to walk across the street to the park.

and i got to hear how happy he is to go into a home, to walk across the street to the work and there are hand-holding and some are visual learnings and they are happy to go through the process as well. it's been a great opportunity. i look forward to being on the other side and to advocate and thank you for the opportunity. >> thank you. [ applause ] >> madam secretary? >> the next order of business is item 10, closed session. there are no closed session items. the next item of business is number 11, adjournment. mr. advice chair? >> do we have a move? motion? >> motion. >> second? >> okay. ladies and gentlemen, thank you very much. we're concluding at 5:20 p.m. >> thank you. >> whew. that was a long one.

>> 7 and a half million renovation is part of the clean and safe neighbor's park fund which was on the ballot four years ago and look at how that public investment has transformed our neighborhood. >> the playground is unique in that it serves a number of age groups, unlike many of the other properties, it serves small children with the children's play grounds and clubhouses that has basketball courts, it has an outdoor soccer field and so there were a lot of people that came to the table that had their wish list and we did our best to make sure that we kind of divided up spaces and made sure that we kept the old features of the playground but we were able to enhance all of those features.

>> the playground and the soccer field and the tennis fields and it is such a key part of this neighborhood. >> we want kids to be here. we want families to be here and we want people to have athletic opportunities. >> we are given a real responsibility to insure that the public's money is used appropriately and that something really special comes of these projects. we generally have about an opportunity every 50 years to redo these spaces. and it is really, really rewarding to see children and

families benefit, you know, from the change of culture, at each one of these properties >> and as a result of, what you see behind us, more kids are playing on our soccer fields than ever before. we have more girls playing sports than we have ever had before. [ applause ] fp >> and we are sending a strong message that san francisco families are welcome and we want you to stay. >> this park is open. ♪

>> when you're at the clinic you're going to wait with whoever else is able to register at the front desk first. after you register your seat in the waiting room and wait to be seen. after you are called you come to the back and meet with a healthcare provider can we determine what kind of testing to do, what samples to collect what medication somebody might need. plus prophylactics is an hiv prevention method highly effective it involves folks taking a daily pill to prevent hiv. recommended both by the cdc, center for disease control and prevention, as well as fight sf dph, two individuals clients were elevated risk for hiv. >> i actually was in the project here when i first started here it was in trials. i'm currently on prep. i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for

prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful. so i

[inaudible] hiv care with their health >> about a quarter of our patients are women. the rest, 75% are men and about half of the men who come here are gay men or other men who have sex with men. a small percent about 1% of our clients, identify as transgender. >> we ask at the front for $25 fee for services but we don't turn anyone away for funds. we also work with outside it's going out so any amount people can pay we will be happy to accept. >> i get casted for a pap smear and i also informed the contraceptive method. accessibility to the clinic was very easy. you can just walk in and talk to a registration staff. i feel i'm taken care of and i'm been supportive. >> all the information were collecting here is kept confidential. so this means we

can't release your information without your explicit permission get a lot of folks are concerned especially come to a sexual health clinic unless you have signed a document that told us exactly who can receive your information, we can give it to anybody outside of our clinic. >> trance men and women face really significant levels of discrimination and stigma in their daily lives. and in healthcare. hiv and std rates in san francisco are particularly and strikingly high were trans women. so we really try to make city clinic a place that strands-friendly trance competent and trans-welcoming >> everyone from the front desk to behind our amazement there are completely knowledgeable. they are friendly good for me being a sex worker, i've gone through a lot of difficult different different medical practice and sometimes they weren't competent and were not friendly good they kind of made me feel like they slapped me on the hands but living the sex life that i do. i have been coming

here for seven years. when i come here i know they my services are going to be met. to be confidential but i don't have to worry about anyone looking at me or making me feel less >> a visit with a clinician come take anywhere from 10 minutes if you have a straightforward concern, to over an hour if something goes on that needs a little bit more help. we have some testing with you on site. so all of our samples we collect here. including blood draws. we sent to the lab from here so people will need to go elsewhere to get their specimens collect. then we have a few test we do run on site. so those would be pregnancy test, hiv rapid test, and hepatitis b rapid test. people get those results the same day of their visit. >> i think it's important for transgender, gender neutral people to understand this is the most confidence, the most comfortable and the most knowledgeable place that you can come to.

>> on-site we have condoms as well as depo-provera which is also known as [inaudible] shot. we can prescribe other forms of contraception. pills, a patch and rain. we provide pap smears to women who are uninsured in san francisco residents or, to women who are enrolled in a state-funded program called family pack. pap smears are the recommendation-recommended screening test for monitoring for early signs of cervical cancer. we do have a fair amount of our own stuff the day of his we can try to get answers for folks while they are here. whenever we have that as an option we like to do that obviously to get some diagnosed and treated on the same day as we can. >> in terms of how many people were able to see in a day, we say roughly 100 people.if people are very brief and straightforward visits, we can sternly see 100, maybe a little more. we might be understaffed that they would have a little complicated visits we might not see as many folks. so if we

reach our target number of 100 patients early in the day we may close our doors early for droppings. to my best advice to be senior is get here early.we do have a website but it's sf city clinic.working there's a wealth of information on the website but our hours and our location. as well as a kind of kind of information about stds, hiv,there's a lot of information for providers on our list as well. >> patients are always welcome to call the clinic for there's a lot of information for providers on our list as well. >> patients are always welcome to call the clinic for 15, 40 75500. the phones answered during hours for clients to questions. >> >>

>> all right. i think we have everybody seated here. welcome, everybody. my name is steve delordo. i'm the senior regional manager with clark construction. on behalf of clark construction -- thank you. on behalf of clark and our community partners, the

renaissance entrepreneurship bay area community, i want to welcome ed lee to the first ever bay view business extravaganza. clark construction has a long history, 111 years, in fact, of successfully building great projects, but more importantly, has a -- building within the communities that we live and work. as a san francisco business, we consider it an honor to have worked successfully with the bay view community on our project, including the office of the chief medical examiner on newhall street that is very near completion as we speak. we're very proud to have worked alongside our fellow bay view areas and residents as we work to build that new facility. just up the street we have the

chase center, where we initiated an unparalleled construction program, with almost 50 percent of the graduates coming from the bay view community, something... so stay tuned, because the second round of training is scheduled to begin next summer, with the focus on recruiting even more bay view residents into the program. mr. mayor, we specifically would like to thank you for your ongoing leadership and partnership in helping us help local communities like the bay view community. your concept of having this event that we labelled clark on 3rd similar to the opera house's third on 3rd to help highlight businesses along the 3rd street corridor was very innohave ative, and that has now become a reality. with the help of other

businesses, all of this has been made into a reality, so thank you. so we are here today because of you, mr. mayor, and we've assembled the small business from the bay view 3rd street corridor to showcase their offerings, while also showcasing their services for the renaissance bay view community, so without further adieu, let me introduce the mayor, ed lee. >> thank you, steve, to you and vickie bamba and others who were in the room when i said, hey, bay view is working in the community. why not expand it to clark on third, and people don't just invite anybody here. they invite people here if

they're doing something for the community. i know that because they say if they don't work. [ inaudible ] >> you ain't forgetting that. josh ain't forgetting it because he's in charge of the whole program because he's putting everybody to work. mohammed's been doing it for years. that's why we all love him. that's why you all love him. renaissance, happy sweet 16. of course, ebu, you're here, and i don't see you barbecuing. that must mean you're working, and that's a good thing. >> good thing. >> but let me say something again about clark. you know, they're building this chase center, which is going to be the greatest arena in the world, and they're doing it, and the people who are touching it are people from right here, and you know, you don't get that, when these big towers go

up downtown, you see them go up, and then, they go up. you don't go up. now you see chase center go up, and we are going up, and i think that's a big difference. it's a big difference because we have people like mohammed and vickie and josh and other people working together, but we also have a company that's sharing values with us, and they wouldn't be invited into the community unless they were doing that, so i want to say a big thank you to clark construction again, because chase center, medical center, you know, the small businesses wouldn't have the relationships unless we had companies who understood what the needs are and are working on it and implementing it. a lot of people say the policies are great, but they don't do anything about it. that's why you've got people like derek working in the neighborhood because he wants to get something done. you've got mohamed, you've got everybody else.

so without people place that say we'll take these ideas and values that actually bring people in to get those jobs, train them, so they workup every moerpg, and they are a piece of the action that's happening in our city, you're just going to have empty promises. and i'm too tired about empty promises. we've always got to make things work, and that's what i want to have this community feel, and i don't ever want to have people say there's public housing tenants here. they're san francisco residents, and we're rebuilding all the public housing, making sure that there are san francisco housing that everybody is going to be proud of. everybody's going to hold onto their property now 'cause they now found out how beautiful the place is, how wonderful the people are, how the storefronts are starting to shine, and how the entrepreneurship that renaissance have been working on is becoming more successful. businesses, the high and local folks, this is all connecting to turnaround everybody, and

when the warriors come to play in san francisco, you're going to be able to afford it because you'll be in jobs. you're helping to build that. that's why i'm here today because this idea i had about suggesting that clark help our small businesses and also to allow more people to understand how they do it, brings faith and trust and brings community closer together. that's why i want to be here every time is to take another step for folks to become closer together because that's what we ought to do in the city of love, city of compassion is to bring people close together, be real, get the real jobs here. every company should be like clark in making sure that they're working through the community rk working through city build, working through dpw, working through our neighborhood services and doing everything to bring the benefits that the city promises here, like when we promised third street corridor, and all the rail and all the stuff, it didn't

automatically happen. we had to continue working with everybody here. so i say congratulations to renaissance, so entrepreneurship. congratulations to clark. thank you for following up, and with that, i've got a couple of certificates that they want me to handout, so i get to do the mayoral duty. first up, clark construction, steve and vickie, thank you very much for your commitment and work. by the way, vickie was my boss when i was at the human rights commission, so this is payback, right? >> you're making the big bucks, now. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right. and then, marcus and linda from renaissance, happy sweet 16, huh?

and then, today, 'cause everybody's working so well together, and we're bringing the community together, and we need to do this every year, right? clark on third every year, businesses, employment, everybody's barbecuing for the right reasons. today, it's my pleasure -- and i'll be here every year if we can only say it's bay view business day in san francisco!

and i just want to say one last word. i know everybody here knows a bit of my history, but i used to work -- and in fact, the president of the human rights commission was larry martin way back when that i first started working for the city, and i recently passed away. he was the president of the transport workers union, and ran the whole muni. in fact, he was the whole international president, so he was the big time. i just want to say thank you, larry for your support and your work. you're a big part of the community, and i'm going to have a big statement for you tomorrow, but i just want to say thank you, because he really understood the community, he got a lot of people jobs through urban and muni buses, and they're raising families, so thank you larry martin. all right. >> thank you so much for coming out. now, we're going to

celebrate and go inside, but thank you so much for coming out. enjoy the rest of your evening. thank you.
