education, did it for several years, especially through college. her interests continued. she got her masters to teach in the public schools. it was a natural pathway for her. i wonder if there is a specific program to look at that because many of our young people, especially in high school, they take one or two course city college, they could qualify, they would have some knowledge or academic base for early education programs, for them to sub or something or work during the summer when they always need people, they could earn the minimum wages right away. almost like a win-win to me. >> we will talk to the school district. a couple providers have programs aimed at child development. there is nothing specific within

the work force right now. >> thank you. >> we have exhausted the list of supervisors with questions. thank you very much for your presentation. we are now going to pivot to the presentation by the budget justice coalition. [please stand by]

>> thank you for this opportunity. my name is joe wilson, executive director of hospitality house, representing hespa and budget access coalition. we have several members of the homeless employment collaborative including hospitality house, center on juvenile justice, criminal justice, hiring hall, community services and the major point that we want to make here is that if homelessness is the city's number one priority, fighting homelessness, and investing in employment services

should also be a priority investment for work force development. according to the city strategic plan for work force, one of the goals is to make sure that the work force development system prioritizes services for those populations that are traditionally underserved by work force system and that certainly applies to homeless job-seekers. we also want to make sure that the legislative branch, supervisors, are paying attention to appointment to the work force board and that appointments to the body have experience in public policy or work force. there are seven or eight members of the current body whose jobs really have nothing to do with work force, global policy, public affairs, marketing, that

kind of thing. i think we want to make sure that if we ha of a policy making body, at least people care about it enough to send the right people to the meeting. the other point we want to make here on slide three is talking about policy pillars. prioritizing employment services for homeless job-seekers, number one. every night in the city, we have 1,100 folks on waiting list for shelter. last year one in four homeless people cite job loss as cause of their homelessness. that means that on any given night, we have 300 people who have a prior attachment to the work force, but are not being served by work force development system.

i think the board of supervisors should call for regular updates in terms of what are the policy priorities, how are we doing with our services, are we invest being in coalition and co collaborative efforts and lift up the best of what works in the city. we should be doing that. i'm going to skip down to intended outcomes. assessing median wage job and looking at reduction in poverty and long-term employment. looking at employment barriers removed. those are pillars to look at in terms of measures of success and we would like to point to the homeless employment collaborative on the right side of slide number four, page four. page five, i'm sorry, of

success. homeless collaborative served job-seekers. average monthly earnings at the exit from the program was in the order of $1,500 a month. those employment placements had a high rate of securing housing placement. and so we're doubling up on the jobs housing linkage. almost half the job-seekers are african-american and overrepresented in unemployment population. three-year average is six months. we acknowledge that the cost per placement is probably more expensive than for housed job-seekers. and one major point that we want to identify is two years ago the board allocated an add-back to

back-fill federal moneys lost. those dollars were targeted for employment services and repurposed to accommodate the lapse in the federal cal fresh program. but repurposing those dollars has the effect of addition through subtraction for the employment system. and community organizations know it's still subtraction and you are expecting organizations to fill a need without the resources to do it. they say there's something that this committee can do about that. i want to turn this over to other speakers to come up and under score some additional points. >> supervisor cohen: just want to recognize that you are at your 5-minute mark exactly. with the other speakers, please -- you will have to make a

decision. you have to cut. i can't have all these people. >> we'd like at least a couple of departments. we have community services and folks to be able to -- >> supervisor cohen: how is this different from public comment? [inaudible] >> supervisor cohen: there are people here in line to speak for public comment. the agreement that i had with this organization is that you had a 5-minute presentation and everyone else will have to wait for public comment. >> are there any questions for the group? >> supervisor fewer: i have a couple of questions. can you tell me some of the -- with the community-based employment and it's a collaborative that you see here, what are some of the challenges

that you help to overcome for homeless folks to seek or obtain employment? >> my story, born and raised in san francisco, california. here all my life. economic program, goodwill, conservation core. i had to work hard all my life, but i'm more intelligent than people think i am. it's hard for me. i've been going to mission hiring in community-based programs and i'm discriminated on because of my education. and some of these programs are being cut. >> supervisor fewer: we have homeless students who are seeking employment.

we are able to prepare them for employment. they're ready. their gains are gains for all of us in the city and county of san francisco and their effort -- the efforts of homeless people, not home that are in danger of homelessness but people who are homeless, their efforts need to be funded. >> supervisor fewer: what does your agency do to help them overcome some of the challenges of being homeless? do you help with -- >> what our agency does, before i left to come here, i was helping a job seeker try to get his green card. we're also helping folks with training with soft skills, setting up email, getting a phone, just basic things. even providing them customer service training.

a lot of our folks don't speak english, so really entry level to get them going. >> supervisor fewer: i understand that some homeless folks don't have a place of contact, so when employers say they want to send documents or they want an address or contact place, is this offer something you provide? >> yes. we have a neighborhood access point center in the tenderloin and that's where most of our job employers come to access our job-seekers. and that's their point of contact. they access our computers. they have emails. they can use our voicemail service, taxes, whatever they need. >> supervisor fewer: mr. wilson, you talked about money repurposed by h.s.a. can you tell me the amount of money that was repurposed? was this for fiscal year

2017/'18? >> yes. it was added back in '16/'17 and r.f.p.'d in '18 and it was to support the homeless collaborative. they're not being supported by our current infrastructure or through h.s.a. way want to acknowledge that oewd has made a lot of efforts to support community-based organizations. we do not prioritize homeless job-seekers. because of these funds, it's back filling money that was lost. >> supervisor fewer: how many clients do you see annually? >> 500. >> the goal is 500. 525 last year. >> supervisor fewer: if you were to scale up your program, do you

think you would be able to -- how many -- considering the capacity now, would you be able to serve? i think that employment is part of the solution to homelessness and i think that the homeless population has many more challenges than people that are housed. so i think it's a solution to homelessness. so i'm wondering if you could scale it up, quite frankly. >> absolutely. everything comes down to resources. if we're funded to do the work and have the staff to have the dedication, passion and know-how, absolutely. oewd has been a great partner. they've done a lot to support us. i would like to invite other department heads to join in the conversation and step it up. >> oewd has done a great job. my last question, do you know what the sustainability rate is

with people you have placed in employment? >> retaining employment? >> supervisor fewer: yes. >> i think the goal is 45% and we exceeded that goal following after one year. >> supervisor fewer: fabulous. thank you very much. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. two questions. is there a particular model and framework that oewd laid out in their presentation that you think is particularly effective? >> in my opinion, i think working with oewd has been incredibly effective. they don't have barriers to who we serve. i believe that h.s.a.'s decision to reprioritize not serving people on the streets has been detrimental. >> supervisor cohen: in the presentation that you made, which is expansion request versus ongoing funding?

>> that's a difficult question. collaborative was defunded, so we're looking at restoration, right? it's technically expansion because the money is not available. but if you double the investment -- >> supervisor cohen: which ones are to restore funding cuts? >> the -- restoring the money that was lost, $1.4 million. we have a $3 million total ask through the budget justice coalition we could double the number of job-seekers we're reaching, but i don't think it's necessarily one plus one. there are difficulties in terms of more people being served, more challenges, more resources and more capacity within the organizations, but a $3 million investment would go a long way to bringing that number down and the folks waiting to get into shelter every night and don't have access to the services

through any other traditional means. >> supervisor cohen: to clarify, i'm trying to understand -- you said $1.4 was cut. of the $3 million ask, $1.4 was cut. what fiscal year was that? >> it was repurposed last fiscal year, so '17/'18. a new r.f.p. issued to anticipate the loss of a federal waiver, able-bodied adults eligible for cal fresh. >> supervisor cohen: when it was repurposed, was it repurposed through an r.f.p. and you applied for it? >> yes. and we were told that collaborative efforts would not be supported, nor was it designed for people that are

currently homeless. that's all of us. people coming in -- the idea is to get people to come in. the idea is to get people to connect to organizations. it just doesn't make any sense on any level to exclude those people. >> supervisor cohen: for what reason were collaborative efforts excluded? i agree. it doesn't make sense. >> our understanding is that they didn't feel that the collaborative was the most cost-effective means of serving this population. we disagree. h.s.a. we've been disagreeing about this for about 20 years. the reality is we're paying in some way anyway and the fact is, if we look at our own data that shows us when we first survey the recent homeless population,

85% of the people surveyed cite a reason other than substance use or mental health problems. within five years, that number goes down in terms of the percentage, and triples in terms of the different kind of problems not necessarily a cause of homelessness, but a consequence. the longer we wait to reach people, particularly those with a more recent attachment to the work force, that costs the city in dollars we would not ordinarily have to spend. so making the investment now will save us money later. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. all right. the next policy item we're going to hear is our final one. it's going to be a presentation on clean and safe parks. we have sara madlin from recreation and parks department making a presentation.

>> good afternoon, supervisors. sara madling, recreation and

parks department. before we jump into the budget, quick overview and reminder what we do. we manage 4,000 acres of land including 34 full-service rec centers, nine pools and we've added a few more community gardens bringing our total up to 40. the work that we do is governed by our mission statement, vision and our own, strategic plan that details over 100 initiatives that we're taking to build and main 10 beautiful parks and preserve the environment. we feel lucky about what we get to do because parks benefit us in so many ways, so many different segments of our lives. parks improve health. they add considerable economic value to our city's economy. and provide significant environmental benefits, including our air, our many,

many trees, 131,000, i believe, and cleaning our water. so quickly, to our budget. about 62% of our current operating budget is spent keeping our parks clean, green and safe. about 25% of our current operating budget is spent on programming. those are primarily our recreation programs ranging from tiny tots and swim programs to senior dance programs. we offer over 45,000 programs and had over 60,000 people register in our programs. about 5% of our budget is spent on park safety. the remainder is split between the zoo, the marina and our admin staff. we measure all sorts of stuff. we measure on a nationwide level. we measure on a citywide level,

where we report into the controller. as i stated earlier, measured all of our initiatives that we have through a variety of metrics. we've highlighted a few that we're particularly proud of here, from the very global of being ranked the number three park system in the country, top three the last three years, falling behind only minneapolis and st. paul, which we think should count as one city, frankly. all the way down to the super, super granular, we're looking at things like how quickly we respond to calls for graffiti abatement. 85% of the calls we responded within 48 hours. we've reduced our water usage 43% since 2013. there's another way we evaluate our programs and that's what we

call our equity lens. we established a set of metrics that allowed us to look at what our most underserved areas. those areas are in purple on the map. it constitutes 20% of our city. after analyzing our expenditures program, etc., in those areas, we see that 53% of our capital investment last year was spent in that 20% of the city. almost 40% of our structured recreation and 30% of our volunteer hours took place in the purple on your map. i could spend all day on our accomplishments, but i want my gold star from supervisor cohen, so at this time, a few. one we talk about a lot and are particularly proud of, is the fact that we announced that 100% of the residents of san francisco live within a

10-minute walk of a park or open space. that makes us the first city in the country to accomplish that metric. we've also been working to add new parks to our system in areas that need new open space. we opened a park at 17th and folsom and just signed closing documents on an area in supervisor kim's district. we feel proud of what we've done working with you on budget over the last years and the nmayor's office. there's a couple of questions i would like to highlight. and that's we worked to expand our peace parks program. it provides recreational opportunities and life skills to high-risk young adults, making sure that 16- and 24-year-olds have something cool to do on a

thursday or friday. we've worked closely with public works to implement their pit stop program or a version of it in some of our parks, park restrooms, adjacent restrooms. and this has created a significant reduction for us in vandalism, and quality-of-life type of instances. so we're looking to expand that in the coming years. i would be remiss if i didn't mention that one of the key ways we provide clean and safe parks is through general obligation bonds. we've been fortunate enough to secure 72% of the vote to invest $1.1 billion in the last 20 years in our park system. it's a really big key to us being successful. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. supervisor fewer has a few

questions. >> supervisor fewer: i want to know if you have a map for the proposed expansion and where you might be placing them. >> i don't have of a map, but i have a list i'm happy to share with you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. and i wanted to ask -- how much do you spend on park patrol? >> let me see if my colleague can answer that. i believe it's about $7 million in total. >> supervisor fewer: do you have plans to expand those services? >> i believe the budget proposal we're thinking about now includes two additional park patrol officers. we had a significant expansion last year. >> supervisor fewer: do you have a pickle ball expansion plan? i know phil will say, her and the pickle ball again, i notice that you have tennis courts, basketball courts, recreation centers, and i know that we're expanding pickle ball courts, but wondering if you have a plan

to expand them and does that include a budgetary ask? >> very timely question, because we're working on exactly that, responding to emerging recreational trends is a priority of ours and also a challenge. i've never played pickle ball, but i met with multiple people that do. we're working on understanding the constraints associated with adding lines to a tennis court and accommodate it. my understanding from the folks that play is that they would like to play in large groups, so two courts or more tend to be the appropriate place to add the lines. so we're talking about a plan to roll this out. we'll do it through existing dollars. the good news is, the short answer to your question, there won't be a budget ask associated with it because we have resurfacing dollars and adding

new lines is not very expensive. but we want it do it in a thoughtful way and are working with the coalition on a survey and gathering data so we can place it where people want it. >> supervisor fewer: how much is your peace parks budget? >> $500,000. >> supervisor fewer: is there a proposal for that $500,000 to be funded through the soda tax initiative? >> supervisor fewer: that was one of the proposals put forward. >> that means you would have zero money -- >> and no ability to expand the program. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. >> supervisor cohen: that's one perspective. the mayor could fund the program, too. >> absolutely. >> supervisor cohen: there's opportunity there. we'll dive deeper in that at a later date. colleagues, any other questions for the clean and safe parks?

thank you, miss madeleine. what i want to bring to everyone's attention is i have a stack of public comment cards here. we also have a 4:30 special order to take public comment and get budget priority feedback from the youth commissioners. so i'm going to in the 3 minutes i have start public comment. can i get a feel for how many people are here for public comment quite a few. we're going to go ahead and start public community and in a few minutes will have to break it and gavel down to start the special order at 4:30. so i have a -- at this point, i want to open up for public comment. i have mr. charles member from senior action. or maybe it's mosker. pearl brown. anna dela santos.

marina tilado. if you can go ahead and get in line on the side of the chamber. >> charles mosker, resident of district 1. i want it bring to your attention the article on "the examiner" that a long-time tenant is facing the landlord because they're facing eviction. probably 50 sros. a lot of them have lived there for decades. some are seniors, many disabled. the hallmark of capitalism has seen that more and more money

has been going to fewer and fewer people. the pinnacle of capitalism is greed. i was here last week about what happened with iris canada, who was kicked out of a building at 100 years of age. to satisfy the greed of a landlord. the other problem well have is employment. many of us, like myself, have decades of experience in all kinds of indust riries and services. many of them have education of just unestimatable value that can be used for the city and our social and economic needs. as more and more money goes to the top for fewer people, it requires the government to provide more services

the overwhelm time capital wants to expand services is when they're subsidized by the government. it's hard to do that when you run out of many because of capitalism. we have to call on the government to do it. >> supervisor cohen: perfect timing. at 4:30, we're trying to figure out how to take public comment and then go into the youth commission. if you are here, youth commissioners, hold tight for just a minute. do you have a recommendation how to proceed? >> i will get back to you in a moment. >> supervisor cohen: we'll continue with public comment at this time. >> good afternoon. i'm pearl brown. i'm a representative for bayview

beacon, as well as parents for public schools. earlier we were talking, deliberating about family engagement and about how it's an important piece in the city. to make the long story short, i advocate that you guys continue that piece as far as making a family engagement part of the budget. as a parent, it's very important that we have that family engagement. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hi. i'm a former employee of the criminal justice employee. i lost my job when the budget was cut. i hear everybody talking about, who is talking about re-entry or the prison population? i would like to say, we've got a case of lifers.

i could have gone over if h.u.d. and h.s.a. didn't limit my numbers. that's what i served, 59 people placed in a job in one year and 111 on my caseload. our tax dollars paid for their training when they sat in prison. they got out ready to go. they need barrier removal, work boots. everyone working pit stop, working the whatever -- can't remember the name of it, but i bought those boots, barrier removal bought those boots. when they're standing out in their rain gear, that's what we do. the barrier removal. i hear everybody talking. who is talking about re-entry? who is talking about the prison population. as long as we have 8109 and court system releasing these guys, who is working with them. now that i'm gone, who is doing

it? they're homeless. they sat 40 years in prison. is my time up? >> supervisor cohen: 30 seconds. >> all right. the prison population, that's what i'm talking about. who is working the homeless prison population, that's another need in san francisco. we have lifers, 20, 30, 40 years, our taxpayer dollars paid for their trainings. certified welders, construction. they need barrier removal. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> to the first speaker that spoke from the mayor's office on housing and community program and i also object to 10 companies in the city getting preferential treatment. this will cause some professional embarrassment.

there is nothing wrong with using child psychology on adults. for example, you board of supervisors, you are employees that work for the city of san francisco, and attorney d.a. is also paying payroll taxes. when you get your check, you have payroll taxes deducted from your check. the 10 companies that i'm talking about here is not paying taxes. twitter is a high-tech company that skirted $34 million in payroll taxes last year, thanks to the controversial senate program called the twitter tax. it costs san francisco $130

million. supervisor peskin would like to see the budget shortfall as an opportunity to claw back $34 million annually from twitter. housing is profiting $198 million. this means about $20 million a year. twitter is getting this tax break for six years. my point is, these organizations coming up here pleading for fees and companies not getting tax breaks, getting all these -- >> supervisor cohen: all right, folks. we have some challenges here before us. i've got cards here. and i'm going to be calling people as they filled out their cards. we need to disoccurring the

jumping of the line. the youth commission is scheduled to present at 4:30. so -- but also, in line with the presentations for today are 5 minutes, not 20, so i need the youth commission to be prepared to streamline their presentation down to 5 minutes. i'm going to need to make a decision here. i'm going to suspend public comment. and allow the youth commissioners an opportunity to come in and make their presentation and then we'll go back into public comment for the previous items that we heard. also, the youth commission will make the same presentations that you heard from the departments. they will speak from their vantage point about the budget priorities, okay? at this time, would i like to gavel down for the special order. it's 4:36. please recognize supervisor yee

and supervisor sheehy are in the chamber. >> clerk: identify the youth commission budget priorities for fiscal year 2018-2019 and 2019-2020 and requesting the youth commission to report. >> supervisor cohen: welcome, commissioners. >> supervisor cohen: are you ready? >> i suppose so. good afternoon, budget and

finance committee. i'm mary claramavley, chair for housing and city services committee. it's here as part of our charter duties to present our priorities for the next fiscal year. here's a budget of the summary policies we'll present to you today. i'm not sure if we can do this under 10 minutes, but we'll try. >> supervisor cohen: i said 5. >> 5 minutes. >> priority number one, continue to extend alternatives to incarceration. we see that there's a problem with too many young people being incarcerated. and getting to recommend dogses, we would like to thank president breed for holding a hearing around alternate incarceration for young people.

we would like to encourage the sup supervisors and the mayor to increase funding for specific services. we would urge the d.a. to restructure how it charges young people for nonviolent felonies. we would encourage the completion of the tay housing plan. and to give an update around that. we know that the housing developments gave out a grant to work with young adult court to have better access to housing. we would urge the judge to create a walking calendar. and would urge them to reject

financing debts or other certificates to remove -- to renovate existing jails and to include tay in the juvenile and jail provision services. thank you. >> hello. i'm kristin tim, district 7 youth commissioner. priority two, implement education for san francisco youth. it's so important to make sure that our youth know how to sort their waste and why it's so important to. and so we're urging the department of youth, children and families to connect with the department of the environment to bring the education presentations to the department of youth, children and families. and to urge those recipients to host the department of the environment presentations to increase environmental education. we'd like to do it for the middle school and high schools, but as many teachers don't have that much time to have

presentations, that's why we're asking the department of youth, children and family who fund 55% of the high school youth. >> priority 3 is to redesign open space to meet the needs of youth. the first was in the downtown plan of 1985 and since then has only catered to office workers. we've want them to cater not just for office workers but to children, youth and families are. south of market there are more. the youth commission urges the planning department to increase the number of public parks and open space in south of market and chinatown and increase funding for maintenance and programming in south of market and chinatown. the city and county of san francisco to include children, youth and families in the decision for new popos. and that there are standards

that focus on the needs of children, youth and families. funding to pay a specific staffperson for guidelines of popos and before the -- >> supervisor cohen: you have a lot of budget asks. have you identified sources of where this revenue has come from? >> no. we have not gotten there yet. >> supervisor cohen: continue. >> and before the final consideration, it must come before the commission for recommendation. priority 4 is to protect and prioritize community access to sunlight and open space. in 1984, voters passed proposition k. this was something that was on our list last year. we don't see proposition k come into play. in this picture, we see the

parks that it will shadow. it was approved in 2016. in april, 2018, we met with the planning department, where they give us two presentations. and in this commission or hearing, 20 youth from cddc express the frustration of choosing between sunlight and parks and housing for community. so the youth commission urges that the board hold a hearing on the implementation of proposition k and sunlight and explore opportunities to expand outdoor recreation access. the city and county of san francisco to stop pinning issues against shadows and that the planning department to include stronger lang thatting a-- language. priority 5, pedestrian and night safety for children, youth and

families. so district 6 has some of the highest pedestrian rates. 70% of our accidents are on 12% of our streets. south of market has five or more freeway entrances and exits. i watch cars zoom by residential alleys, and it only gets worse as the sun goes down. youth from south of market have expressed feeling unsafe and so unsafe 1/3 have to walk in groups to go home. after numerous community discussions and workshops in the soma, a campaign was created to advocate for the switch to l.e.d. lamp posts and pedestrians over cars. we can go to recommendations. youth commission urges that

l.e.d. lights are replaced, perform monthly maintenance on light fixtures. and increase the size of sidewalks, more mid-block crossings. and we also want the board to hold a hearing on the impact of pedestrian and night safety and focus on areas affected by fatalities and loitering. >> priority 6, with all the shootings, we know that the youth are more engaged. along with that, the youth commission has done a lot of work in the last two years. and this year we've been trying to work with border education on

making preregistration forms available. so with our recommendations, we would urge dcyf to require their -- the option of preregistration and to support a state proposition that would lower the voting age from 18 to 17. we would urge the board of supervisors in dcyf to make sure that the required policies pass to allow preregistration. >> supervisor cohen: getting back to your number two recommendation. supporting the lowering age of 18 to 17. we did that here in san francisco. it didn't manifest anything. we took it to voters and it

failed. >> talking about proposition f, which is -- >> supervisor cohen: go ahead. >> i think you are talking about proposition f, which was two years ago, november, 2016, it was on the ballot. this is different. that was in the state. the last one was supporting the department of elections. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. there it is, yes, prop f. priority 7? >> as josh mentioned, it was on the 2016 ballot and only lost by 2%. right now, there's a huge amount of young people who are outraged and the self-labeled mass shooting generation are all people that want to be able to hold their elected officials accountable but may not be able to do so because of their age and because they're not able to

vote. so this has -- right now, sacramento is running through their vote but also all across the country. youth commission would like to recommend there's a meeting where we can talk about this in more detail and to sponsor the voting efforts and vote in favor of placing prop f on the 2020 ballot. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. >> priority 8, during the youth commissions preregistration, we found that many young people were not able to register to vote because they didn't have access to social security

numbers and california i.d. cards. we know that providing youth with fee waivers will alleviate the barrier. the youth commission is asking the city and county of san francisco and the department of children youth and families to work together to allocate $60,000 to california ids for years and the department of elections meet with members of the san francisco youth commissions civic engagement and recreation committee to implement this change. >> supervisor cohen: why is this a budget priority? how does it fare against homelessness and unemployment and affordable housing? >> thank you. we believe that young people -- all of these issues can be solved with young people being

involved in our democracy and people holding people like you and elected officials accountable. thank you. >> priority 9 is to continue to protect undocumented families to deportation. the federal government has not been very friendly to our immigrant population of the youth commission would lake to thank you because we think that as much as possible, san francisco has been doing a pretty good job of taking care of our populations. specifically for the resolutions you've written -- >> supervisor cohen: and money we've allocated >> and the money allocated, like for the public defender's office that does so much help for dock

documents immigrants in court. thank you very much. >> supervisor cohen: you just want us to continue to support them? >> yes. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. priority 10? >> hello. priority 10 is increasing emergency shelter options and permanent exits for homeless. these are the findings from the may 17 hearing on homelessness and they found that only 6% of the investments in homeless e exits was for use. it required construction for a transitional youth navigation center. only 118 of the 400 units were provided exits for homelessness.

also, we need a location. so we recommend growth fund investment. the youth commission urges that the completion of the housing plan be a priority for the city and county of san francisco and that the city and county of san francisco recommit to the housing plan by establishing the housing goal. as well as address the need for transitional youth and need for rehabilitation. >> we had a sick commissioner so, i'm filling in. alcohol is an issue around san francisco. our recommendations are to require an equity analysis of

any alcohol-related impacts as part of any new alcohol-related policies and consider the impacts that here for youth 18 to 24, particularly communities of color and low-income. we ask that you move the report on the add -- administrative costs to a public hearing and also to partner with the below-mentioned partners to develop a regulatory framework. this is the same, exact budget and policy for this issue that we recommended last year as well. any questions or comments? we know it was a little over 5 minutes. we appreciate your time. and know that there are young people in the room. so thank you for being here as well. so any questions that we can answer for you all? >> supervisor cohen: i just want to acknowledge the leadership from the youth commission.

thank you very much. i'm happy to see you all and you've given a lot of thought, very thoughtful consideration in some of the budget priorities. you presented 11 budget priorities. by definition, priority means you have to prioritize here, so out of the 11, i'm curious to know how you would prioritize top three? and any commissioner can take a stab at it. or not. if it's not a priority -- we've heard about incarceration, several with tay youth, popos, privately owned public space, pedestrian safety at night. that's just an example. >> right, right. i think where, you know, our

term, we're given a year to determine out of all the issues impacting young people.

that further compounds the budget act. when there are multiple entities asking for the same thing, it comes to the bubble as a priority when different entities say seniors, young people say safety is a problem. when you have got the municipal transportation system saying this is a priority of our agency. that is a tool to help us figure out where the priorities will be. >> i agree with you in the fact of so thank you for spearheading the regulations solution on homelessness and in particular putting the emphasis on there this past week and supervisor

yee for pedestrian safety. if there is room to collaborate that we would love to be included in the conversations as well. we don't want to reinvent the wheel. a lot of partners are working on the similar issues. when we cannot work in sile lows. that is where we want to be part of the issues being worked on by you and the community members and audience. >> this was very helpful and enlightening. i want to go to supervisor yee. >> i want to thank the youth commissioners for coming today, and really giving, obviously, you have given a lot of thought to your priorities. i guess i am taking it differently the presentation, not department per se or asking something for the department. i am taking it as a voice from the youth that these would be

priorities from the youths' perspective. i would take these into consideration when i think about the different issues that other departments are presenting, such as pedestrian safety issues so i appreciate everything that has been presented. even the environmental piece of this. if you can bring it up some of the things you brought up, if you didn't bring it up, i may not think about it. as i go through my thought process what i want to support on the different issues, your voice is going to be considered. >> thank you very much for the recommendations. i want to mention that the voting thing i wrote the resolution for the san francisco unified school district.
