bid. the response per the management agreement with the city any baseline service within a cbd zone cannot not be pulled back. >> i definitely understand that. thank you. i'm going to direct my next question to karen, dominic and tracy, this wonderful trifecta leadership. i know you work closely with the department of public works. i was wondering in your opinion from what you've seen you don't have to have data to back it up, what kind of programs are working, what do you like, what would you like to see more of? do you need more pit stops? do you need more zones? do you need the zones to be more smaller and more people working the zones? i'm just trying to understand a little bit better as we go into this budget

discussion. there's going to be people advocating for money. i wanted to -- i wanted the conversation to be driven more on policy and policy priority. >> so i think we both have a quick response. >> we would love to see more pit stops. ideally staffed to cove. we take care of the areas around the pit stops. as you can see public works helps us a lot with removal of large debris. so all we have to do is pick up the phone and call and they -- either they come out with a truck or we can call recology and they come out and

help us remove those hazards from our sidewalks. >> supervisor cohen: it sounds like you like the pit stop? >> absolutely. we are very excited about larry's proposed temper proof cans that are in design currently. >> thank you so much. >> thank you for the question. we work closely with dpw to coordinate services. treasure management is a huge deal. what is creating the problem is what is happening with the private collection of the cans that get out. they don't knowsly have to -- the private businesses don't pick them up until they reopen which could be a couple of days over the weekend. if they are not lost and it's not required to lock these cans they get rummaged through at the nighttime. there's digging for

recyclables, digging for feed, sometimes regard receipts and it creates just a complete mess on these sidewalks. that's sucking up a lot of our resources. rehired the downtown streets team to start in the alleys because it was sucking our resources from doing that. i worked for dpw back in the late 90s and we had litter enforcement officers. there's one for our district that's a supervisor but there needs some enforcement. people are behaving badly. they need to put it out at the right times, lock their bins and be responsible. >> i think this is concluding this very long day of budget

priorities. i would like to close out and open up to public comment. if you guys are able to stick around i would love for you to stick around for public

>> thank you. i'm robin ross, who is part of the hepatitis c task force and we've come here today because our budget ask, while general, will directly and inappropriately help san francisco achieve cleaner streets. >> which organization? >> san francisco hepatitis c task force. i've spoke with you before. as we heard, one of the biggest complaints is used needles and syringes littering the streets. we're asking for funds to expand the hepatitis c navigation staff because these people are out on the streets. they're talking to people who

are doing the drugs on the streets and probably half of whom have hepatitis c. outreach workers pick up drug paraphernalia, but do so much more. they engage folks on the dirty streets, helping people get tested for hepatitis c, getting into care. and help people get off the streets. studies have shown that people who just know their hepatitis c status reduce their drug use. and people who are cured feel better, have better energy, brain fog lifts. they start getting their lives together. these navigation programs are successful programs, but way understaffed. they need to be in more areas of

the city, where drug use, homelessness and dirty streets intersect and hepatitis c is the common thread that offers solutions. please ask the coalition packet. >> how much are you asking for? >> and we're just asking for a modest amount, but it's urgently needed, while we look for more robust ways to fund the programs. >> thank you. next speaker, please? >> i'm ace washington, ace on the case, fillmore corridor ambassad ambassador, anything else you want to call me. i'm appalled and i will try to keep it to a where my blood pressure don't go up. i was here about the street cleaning, had issues with d.p.w. what made my blood pressure

overboil is when you asked about the cbd, dbd and the other organizations that you give funds to. but in the fillmore, what i call the feel-no-more, haven't started the pac, cbd, and all that's left is ace, in front of you. i'm appalled. and i haven't had a chance to talk to the caretaker mayor here yet because there's an issue going on and i will bring that up. but i'm going to be at every meeting on the financing and budgeting this year because it does not show where blacks are in the budget nowhere. the $10.1 or 2 billion. i'm appalled of the department heads down here talking about some money. i'm appalled. i'm appalled here. in district 5, we don't have after cbd. we don't have a cad.

but you have an ace. and i'm the fillmore corridor ambassador. i should have been called up here to tell you about my community. i'm appalled. when i go home, i have to take my blood pressure medicine, every time i come here to "silly hall." i've been here longer than anybody. i get no respect here. i have to file a complaint and then you will want to talk to me then. i can do that. marie rogers did it, under the organization i'm with now. i'm appalled! the way you treat us in the 11th district. [inaudible]

>> i wonder if the needle exchange program would consider taking syringes, so no one would have to risk being accidentally stuck with a needle and i was worried about the degradation rate of fentanyl, because it's appearing in other drugs and microscopic quantities are supposed to be pretty powerful. also -- yeah, i believe that $200,000 is an excessive amount to operate a small, portable outhouse or toilet. it's roughly $1 million over a five-year period to sustain one facility or $6 million over the 30-year trajectory in luxury homes that are purchased.

let's see. can you reduce the job status under street cleaning operations to that of temporary position? can you double your work force by eliminating benefits and operating -- and operate within the existing budget? >> thank you. next speaker. >> my name is orlando chavez. i'm a hep c navigator at the guide foundation and i'm here to support the ask for full-time navigator and outreach worker at glide and also the full-time navigator and halftime nurse practitioner at the san francisco aids foundation. i'll tell you straight out that 16 years ago i was on these streets. i was in these jails. i was in these methadone clinics. i was very unreachable.

if you tried to talk to me, i was lake, talk to the hand. today i'm the person that goes out and talks to the people that are in the situation that i was in. and the line starts at my door at 9:00. so i need 10 of me to do the job that i do. we're asking for one full time navigation. so we can go out and have those conversations with the people at homeless encampments, at the jails, at the shelters. the syringe access programs, we're not just out there willy-nilly tossing out syringes. we're also picking them up. when the navigators go out with teams, they build on a community of trust. they can cross into enclaves and communicate with people.

like the horse-whisperer, only i don't talk to horses. i talk to human beings. they need me. san francisco needs me. for every person we turn around, we have success stories, i could tell you if i had more time, but we've been able to take people that are homeless without m medi-cal and get them into treatment within 16 days. >> how much does it cost for an additional worker? >> we're asking for $119,000 for the full-time navigator and a halftime outreach worker at glide. and the san francisco aids foundation is requesting $148,000 for one full-time navigator and halftime nurse practitioner. >> thank you. >> okay. thank you. >> can i ask a quick question? no. >> go ahead. >> a quick question. i'm wondering what makes the

difference -- what helps to pull people in and gets them better? >> connecting to someone, connecting to someone that understands their needs, is the most effective way. everyone we talk to say they've never talked to a peer navigator before. they've had bad experiences at medical clinics. if they're connected to care, they're not engaging with care. when we reach out to them, they can tell if there's anything fake or fraudulent about us in about 30 seconds and they will back off real quick if they think that. you need peer-based people to do the work. >> thank you. >> and thank you for your important work. thank you so much. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. good afternoon. i'm ray goldstein and i have been a hepatitis c patient and i'm advocating for a synergy between the department of public health, the department of public

works, and other like-minded organizations that want to clean the streets. it begins at the top with drug use. san francisco has what is considered to be a model plan to eliminate hepatitis c. the department of public health, viral hepatitis coordinator katie burke, will be speaking next week on cdc's grand rounds, on san francisco's innovative methods, coalition of public health and community-based organizations. in order to meet the goal of hep c elimination, we need to fund community organizations through the department of public health to do outreach to people and navigate their way to better health. i think the word navigate is key, although there are much more simple, direct, and quick-acting cures for hepatitis. the arrangements that need to be made among the various medicaid,

medicare, insurance, pharmaceutical companies, all of these things are bewildering to many patients. and the type of navigator that orlando was talking about is the key to linking patients with the available treatment. thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm courtney pearson, here from the san francisco aids foundation. i wanted to give a little more context to our syringe access services that have been discussed today and some of the work we're engaged in. for background, san francisco's been a leader in providing sterile injection supplies for those that need them for monday that are 20 years. because of that commitment, our h.i.v. prevalence amongst people that inject drugs has fallen dramatically and less than half the national average

our rates of new h.i.v. infections remain higher than other states and national statistics and we know that participants that can define the number of syringes they need are effective and not all methods of syringe access provide equal public health benefits. removing limits on the syringes that people can access makes it less likely that people reuse syringes. our access model, participants define how much they need and receive safe disposal containers. we're committed to public health and clean and healthy streets. in addition, we're growing the number of hours or team conducts street sweeps too collect and dispose of used works. in march, 101 hours was spent collecting and safely disposing of thousands of sir syringes in 42 sweeps and nine cleanups. we've recently expanded our peer

disposal program and hired a full-time coordinator to organize our participants, neighbors, and partners, to join our community cleanup efforts. syringe access reduces h.i.v. infections, provides care and proper syringe disposal. we encourage the city to install more models and more kiosks. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. jim lazarus, san francisco chamber of commerce. thank you for holding this hearing and coming hearings. a lot of good information and i hope a lot of food for thought as you prioritize your one the decisions in the next few months. clearly there are steps taken with neighborhood groups, nonprofit organizations on the health side, to really make this

city shine. unfortunately, all you have to do is look at emails that all your business organizations, hotel council and the chamber get every day from visitors who on the one hand enjoyed parts of their experience here but on the other hand will never come back. and it's because what is on the streets of san francisco. i think you heard today, there are steps that can be taken in the budget, whether it's changing trash receptacles, more needle disposal boxes, more pit stops, sidewalk steam cleaning. and really working closely with the community benefit districts you have. the chamber has taken the lead in forming a downtown community benefit district that we hope we will have property own other vote and board of supervisors approval this july, that will raise over $4 million a year for downtown services. you can assist all these communities benefit districts in the budget cycle this july,

though, because every community benefit district has unfunded services that are required by law. you look at the community benefit district plans and the property owners pay for most of it, but every district has 1%, 2%, 5% that's general benefited. that could be given back to add to the service levels they're providing on the streets. we urge you to look at that in this summer's budget process. thank you very much. >> thank you. is there any speaker? >> hi there. good afternoon. cassandra costello with san francisco travel. department of public works has been a great partner with the travel industry and kind enough to give us -- i think it was a kind thing -- 5:30 a.m. tour. we've went with them and saw the challenges that they face every day. thank you for the work. you heard about surveys of the residents. our visitor surveys are similar.

so folks that are writing us, filling out our surveys, top three things that are negative about their experience -- cleanliness of the streets is one of them. they see the same things we see every day. the human waste on the street. the needles. and they're shocked. they're completely stunned. and unfortunately going back and telling their friends and family about that experience and they're not coming back. so we need to make sure that we're upping the efforts that d.p.w. is doing, supporting community districts. we've want more focused, regular steam cleaning. areas where the high visitor areas are among market street, holiday plaza and others. we think a matching grant program would be very helpful to encourage more private investment. i think it's an efficient and effective way to is up supplement what public works is funding. and the pit stop program. we're convinced this is a successful program.

we want to see more in highly trafficked visitor areas like 5th and howard and tenderloin and mid market and especially the ones that look like the painted ladies. we're happy you held this hearing and focusing on these important issues. thank you for your time. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. thank you for allowing me to be here to speak. once again, i'm quantella hen i have. today i learned a little more about the numbers of the homeless people. but however, i still feel like it's an urgency from the area of where i live at, which is in between hyde, ellis, right on the other side of the police station. we do have two groups. some is glide groups and they

have red buckets, but they don't have a -- what do you call a -- pit pot program. it was on eddie and jones. it is not working. i ask that you please reconsider and hopefully the last two weeks we had eight overdoses on ellis within itself. so i'm really hoping that we can get the money that we need to move this forward. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i'm javier baman. i work with housing intership. quntella henry is one of the housing representatives that we work with and i think she's been demonstrating, you know, the tenderloin neighborhood is a very critical part of the city

that needs street cleaning. it's unsettling to hear the fears and despair that the residents in the tenderloin especially feel about stepping outside and walking in their own neighborhood. we also have staff who fear working to and from work. for example, in the marina district, supervisor stefani's district, we have a building and a lot of residents used to live in the tenderloin in transitional housing and they express gratitude that they live in a neighborhood where the neighborhood provides services to keep their streets clean. i think that highlights the need and the critical urgency of the funding for street cleaning, especially in neighborhoods like the tenderloin. we know it's a city-wide

problem, but in places that are the most affected, i think it's important that we continue to fund them and we thank you forrfor allocating the funds and hope that you recognize the urgency of the matter by continuing to fund street cleaning. thank you. >> hi. good afternoon. jennifer freedom from coalition on homelessness. so fun, get to have potty talk. [laughter] i wanted to say -- you know, there's been a lot of unfortunate quotes from d.p.w. management in the newspaper lately. despite that, i really got to give it up for the department for becoming part of the solution and doing pit stops. it's reducing waste on the streets and infuses dignity into the lives of people that are forced to live outdoors.

there's not many things more humiliating than to be forced to do a private, human act outdoors. each of the pit stop potties are equipped with sharps containers. and the bathrooms, as helpful as they are, are only open limited hours, and we cannot control our internal clocks and when people have to go, they got to go. that's why the homeless emergency service providers situation has a $500,000 ask in our budget request to add more than 100 hours of service to the existing pit stop capacity. in addition, there are things that we hear from homeless folks that they do ask for more garbage bags and brooms. they want to be part of the solution. there is a lot of struggle for them keeping up because of all the illegal dumping that takes place.

but also, homeless people really appreciate the d.p.w. cleanings, but it would be a lot more helpful that they were on a scheduled basis so folks can prep for it. and be ready to move when d.p.w. crews get there. it works well when they know they're coming at a regular time each week. lastly, we're spending a lot of money -- >> next speaker, please. >> my name is michael harris. and i live at 51 6th street, hillsdale hotel. i call it ground zero. it's not really the tenderloin. it's south of market. i'm a former coordinate in the city of inglewood in the late '80s/early '90s. the problem is, we're in a crisis situation with street cleaning. tourist season is ready to come. you can do what you want with the budget at any time. i live in a transitional housing

building. we need to pay the people that live that are on g.a.r. or cap to help clean the streets in their neighborhood. that's how you will clean up the tenderloin. you will not clean it up by bringing in outside people. let the people in the neighborhood take care of their own neighborhoods. snare not doing anything in the rooms. let's do a proactive approach. give the people the jobs that live there. and then you will see -- you will see a change in the tenderloin. hire the people on c.a.p. to clean the streets. that's all i have to say. >> thank you for your comment. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. pat scott. i'm here by accident. i just happened to peek in and see you sitting here, so i thought i would have my two cents worth. i really am asking you for $200,000 for teen programming. we have no targeted teen programming and we're looking at a population of african-american and latino students that are

from 14% to 20% proficiency level going to san francisco public schools. we see kids in an after school program that's no longer funded. starting july 1, we will not be able to provide any programs for them. we take the kids from washington and from other high schools. we give them academic support. we have new youth radio studios, san francisco bureau of youth raidy -- radio, so we can teach young people production skills, so they can learn to tell their own stories. how to be involved. we have new studios, but we have no money to run them. so i'm asking you for the $200,000 to run teen programs for next year. so we can pick up these kids and prevent them from being homeless because that's exactly where they're headed. with a turn perce14% to 20% lev

they cannot compete. [please stand by] -

are made and produced in san >> good afternoon, welcome to the san francisco board of supervisors meeting of tuesday, april 10th, 2018. madam clerk, please call the roll. [ roll call ]

>> madam president, you have a quorum. >> thank you. please join us in the pledge of allegiance. [ pledge of allegiance ] >> all right. madam clerk, are there any communications. >> i have none to report. >> colleagues, today we are approving the minutes from march 6th, 2018. is there a motion?

moved and seconded. without objection, they will be approved after public comment. madam clerk, please read the next item. >> appearance of the mayor. no questions submitted from the supervisors, the mayor may address the board for up to five minutes. >> welcome. you have the floor. >> thank you very much. good afternoon, everyone. i want to thank you, once again, for hosting question time and as we gear up for budget season, i want to speak about an issue we care deeply about. it will be the focus of all our budget priorities and we're committed to addressing and that's our homelessness crisis in san francisco. it really is a challenge of our time. wheewhile we want to find the sr bullet, it's complicated. we can't build ourselves out of

homelessness. we have 7500 supportive housing units in san francisco, the most per capita of any major city in america. yet, we haven't seen a decrease in our homeless population. if we want to reduce our homelessness count by one, we have to build 4 housing units to make that happen. because of the new number of individuals who become homeless every year in our city. we have to tackle the issue from the onset before the problem becomes overwhelming. we need to invest in prevention and diversion programs, initiatives we are calling problem solving services. we can make a huge difference in the lives of at risk residents. it's a missing how effective it can be when we help pay for rent, repay old loans or help with car payments. those small but really critical investments can literally be the difference between people

staying in their home or living out on the street. and we know that when people become homeless and start living on our streets, it's a whole separate set of issues that we have to deal with as a city. last week, i had the chance to meet ethel who is a single mother of five children at compass family services. she works hard to take care of her kids, but she was recently struggling with her finances and fell behind on her rent. with the support from the city and nonprofit partners, we were able to help her pay her back rent, provide her with a rental subsidy. now that her finances are in order, she's looking forward to the future. the problem solving services i want to see continue and accelerate here in our city. it's not only inhumane and unethical for the city to allow it, it's also financially unsustainable. problem solving measures would prevent people from becoming homeless in the first place,

costs half the amount compared to services for people who are already living on our streets and need to be rehoused. problem services -- problem solving services work. last year, 800 people took advantage of homeward bound which reunites family members and loved ones. those individuals, only 6% returned so san francisco to use the services of the city. i'm going to see supporting initiatives that are compassionate but not enabling of street behavior. we have to take advantage of every program and explore all resources to make progress on this difficult challenge. we must continue to embrace collaboration with our partners at the state level. tomorrow, i'm going to be going to sacramento to join mayors from the ten other largest cities in california to advocate for more than $1.5 billion in funding for homelessness initiatives at the state. wunderstand that homelessness doesn't stop at jurisdictions.

we're all grappling with this. we have to ban together in california if we're going to change and solve this challenge of our lifetime. the state funds will complement our levels and support long-term solutionsolutions to homelessneh as permanent housing and rental assistance. i want to make sure we recognize a few members who allocated millions for similar initiatives here in san francisco. just as i'm working closely with our state delegation on budget initiatives, i'm prepared and look forward to working with members of this board on the major challenges facing our city during our budget process. as i said last month during question time, we must pursue our shared interest in a manner that's fiscally responsible and represents our budget process. this week we're set to begin deliberation with a responsive budget that will take into account the needs of our entire city. these conversations will determine the best path forward for our city as they always have and always will.

now, i don't believe the time to pursue up is represent al budget initiatives. i look forward to continuing to working with everybody here in this room to solve the real challenges of our time. together we will make a difference. i look forward to doing so in a collaborative manner. thanks very much. >> thank you for being here today. with that, madam clerk, let's move on to our next agenda item. call the consent agenda. >> items 1 through 7. they are considered to be routine f a member rejects, it can be removed and considered separately. >> seeing no names, madam clerk, on the items, please call roll.

supervisor cohen, thank you. >> good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen. i have nothing to introduce. thank you. >> thank you, supervisor. supervisor fewer. >> thank you very much. colleagues, it is my pleasure to introduce a resolution today in support of the california schools and local communities funding act. this statewide ballot initiative to implement a split role reform of proposition 13 and finally make cooperations and large commercial property owners pay their fair share of property taxes. when it was on the ballot in 1978, it was sold as a way to protect homeowners, but it's actually corporations and large commercial property owners who benefit the most. chevron is pocketing hundreds of millions a year. disneyland is paying just 5 cents per square foot in

property taxes. 8 times less than the average california homeowner pays. this has been made even worse after the latest tax give away to corporations by number 45 and republicans in congress. a few years ago, when i was on the school board, both the school board and the board of supervisors unanimously passed a resolution in support of a split reform of prop 13 and the last month and a half, there have been over 300,000 signatures gathered for the california schools and local communities funding act and is expected to be on the 2020 ballot. this act would restore over $111 billion in annual revenue for our schools and local communities across california, just by making commercial property owners pay their fair share of property taxes. for san francisco, this would mean over $800 million per year. this is a common sense reform and the fairest possible way for us to generate the revenue we

need to fully fund our schools and public services. california schools have gone from the top ten to the bottom ten in the country in per pupil funding, and we must reverse this trend. san francisco should be at the forefront of this movement. to close the loophole in prop 13 and make corporations pay their fair share of property taxes. i hope you all will join me in supporting this resolution. thank you very much. >> thank you, supervisor fewer. supervisor kim. >> thank you. supervisor peskin. >> after a number of years negotiations with some south of market developers, the san francisco flower mart association and the city are introducing together with supervisor kim a resolution outlining the city's general

desire to swap 2 parcels of land, one in the south of market and one the former printing press on marin street in order to secure an appropriate temporary relocation site for the beloved san francisco flower mart in order to demonstrate the city's continued commitment to a beneficial arrangement for all of the parties involved, the resolution puts a clear stake in the ground this we want to move the relocation process along in parallel with the central planning effort that is underway. the resolution demonstrates the acknowledgment of our puc that conveying and exchanging the properties will give the puc more room for equipment storage and provide a home for more than 50 flower mart vendors that ems,
