rfq includes that and asks every responder to identify how they are going to meet the subsidy requirement. >>speaker: i don't have any other question. any fast l words. >> on the unit issue, the broadband utility council, this was a presidential appoint counsel during obama administration. there have been official federal statements and the former fcc director also believes that. i think that is not true with the current one. >> all right, i really appreciate your expertise and advice. thank you very much. i have a capital planning question for you kelly

kirkpatrick. oh, she not here. >>speaker: ashley -- i will try my best answer you question >> since this process was approved in capital planning $3 million woulde w et additional ten year capital plan to go with this? ben do you want a stab at it? >>speaker: so the capital planning committee has approved capital budget for the upcoming fiscal year and comes in the mayor's budget to you at the board of supervisors and that included $3.3 million allocation in the coming fiscal year for official work to proceed with rfp process and r that linda

has talked through today. i think what you are eluding to is the biggest project is not specifically programmed in the city's 10 year capital plan and that is scheduled to be updated next w der. winter.i would assume if it movs through, it should absolutely be part of the capital plann front of this board nextpring. >> what money for the municipal fiber system is planned for fiscal year '18-'20 budget? >>speaker: there is the 3.3 that's approved as part of capital planning and as i think kelly talked about earlier, there is 1.3 remaining in the

project funds allocated in '16-'17 and '17-'18. >> she didn't mention that. thank you for reiterating. do you know to total tol lar dor figure for a city-wide system? ben says no. >> we have this information from the ctc study, so i think it was 1.2-1.9 billion. >> okay, thankou v yy m your presentation. let's go to public comment. i see a couple members of the publicere.t thank you for staying here. you have two minutes. >> chris wideman. i have spend 35 years dealing with telecommunications law and

policy and half of that time across the street atlities commission. in 2016 the commission by unanimous vote iss a study on telecommunications competition and to the surprise of very few people found that high-speed wired broadband was not competitive. most people in california have one provider, strain i san frans lucky we have two, maybe 2.5. sonic can't get into the underground so that is the half. you have your folks out in the district and out in the city and i was riding through the lenor development the other day. from what i understand their requiring for internet.

the internet itself is not the utility, it's the aes the wir a terminate to at&t. the genius o a city wholesale only network is those folks would have the opportunity not just to pick at&t and comcast, but toick any isp out there and there are a number here in the city that would be ao serve them and we have seen in other places in britain, amsterdam, stok stockholm wherey have separates the whol wholesae from the retail network and that driv prices down and solves the digital divide. i am happy to prorid provide wit decision of the puc.

>> tell me what is your name? >>speaker: witteman. >> maybe before you leave city hall you could stop by my office anand leave your card. >> thank you for holding this hearing to have more transparency to the public. my name isolie and w ih the chinatown community. i am sure chinatown community and pe merchants would appreciae this but before we make this a potentially costly and risky decision perhaps we would reconsider the visibility of cost and the impacts that we will have to face when the project the launched. small businesses always want to

bear the burden of their construction projects from water and sewer it improvements the ay sen tral project goingand thu on, the small businesses have en suffering. we are afraid this project would tear up streets all over the city and hurt our small businesses. we ask the supervisors to proceed slowly with input from th community before moving onrw such a large undertaking. >> supervisor cohen, i am going to tell you what you are missing. the calculations all you have to do is listen to them. they are making calculations on year 2015, 2016. the president of the united states issued a tax cut that

relates that resulted in billions and trillions of dollars being brought back to the united states from foreign country us and companies that exist here in the quite the economic status of everybody is two days before mayor -- said all departments are to cut spending because if you keep going you will have $282 million deficit. these are not included in the tax breaks given by the esof the united states. you need to do an audit on every department that's benefited from the tax cuts from the president of the united states and about you asking earlier are you getting salary increase, you probably don't have time but every corporation in the united states has been given $1,000

bonus to their employees that's working full-time and employees bonus. part-time is getting families aregin l taxes to support themselves. [bell ringing] the tax cuts went in effect on 2017 and expleaseth 2018. these tax effects they are giving you are impeached. economic impact on tax is negative. this is one from earlier demonstration says only one business uber would benefit from tax revenue. [bell ringing] >>speaker: thank you. your time is up. >> good afternoon dee dee

workman from the san francisco chamber of commerce. the chamber is interested in this discussion about creating a government-owned network in san francisco. we don't have a position on it at this timeut b does strongly support ensuring internet access to all neighborhoods across the city. the question from our standpoint is what is the best way to achieve that. based on the experiences of other municipalities ue caut inin a government-owned system here. federal and state financing as well as utility and property tax levels on consumers are necessary to cover the cost. there are dozens of examples where the cost ofmplementing the system was so high and the number of subscribers so low that there were serious

financial consequences. in theity of alme ta it was $25 million and that ballooned to $85 million and it was sold to a priva per and t city ultima lost m on a project. here in san francisco there is talk of putting ulity tax on the november ballot. we should think carefully aboutathaboutputting consumers k for something that doesn't have a good track record. by the time we build out the system theologcould be obsolete. we think there are other pressing priorities like affordable housing and afable transportation. >>hank you.>>eaker: thank you r giving this opportunity for all of us to learn aboutopihis

my name is yuke. i say every day about 30 or 40 people trying to sleep on the street. i am a granddaughter to someone the most difficult timenor o in the city of japan. the whole capital liked l ground zero. the first vision is you give -- i think this whole point is great. if i get free wi-fi where i live, great, but what is going to happen to the people living right underneath me. i look at this budget i think there are priorities of what the city is known for.

i think it needs to have a rly fhion in which we spend our money. thank you. >> thank you for your commen. next speaker please. >>speaker: thank you for the opportunity to speak about this subject. brief note of my background in 1990 co-founded san francisco's first iep. cofounded first commercial anti-spam company. i'm a network consultant for internet service providers as doing public privateer city wide fiber networks as well as as built out internet service for events like burng man. indiscernible. i also do volunteerkor forhe department of technologies community broadband network

providing broadband for low-income resident. in 2005, i submited a comment outlines itul not be pursuing -- buting fiber deployment. many ofy concerns then are the same back then but with network neutrality also m fiber more compelling. it greatly increases competition for broadband providers that the city can choose from. rolling out fiber network is expensive and the ria can take decades to discover. [bell ringing]on'tve the deep ps to do their own network. by hav city provide the ceers a isp can through aa

couple fiber jumpers to the equipment andde provi to the network. [please stand by]

>> that is that we need to do this right now. because the wolf is at the door, and the wolf at the door is donald trump and his fcc. moth term andoffice. so they will try to force communities like ours to accept a continued situation where companies like comcast and at&t give us our internet service instead of us having a true public network that those

companies, and other companies, to pay to get on too. i think we are focusing on cost, when really what we should focus on is not the cost but who will pay for it. and as a supervisor if you are d the heads of those companiesn and microsoft and apple, the ones who deliver us our internet, these companies are run by the richest billionaires on the planet. the idea we can't charge them enough money to pay for a real public internet system like the one and chattanooga, is silly. we can do this and we need to do it soon. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker. >> think you chair cohen. my name is mike mccarthy. for the past years i've worked on project technology and expanding broadband internet -- broadband internet and san

francisco. i'd like to talk briefly at s.f. city opening up, and my opinion, turning to a sales pitch with its board members. at&t and comcast. they are great companies and do a lot for the community. that is coplete true. but d san francisco, they are like bud and bud light. those are our choices. it is important for us to be aware of that. for those of us who remember dsl way back when, and the nineties, you can choose from ten or 12 different dsl providers. a whole long list of providers. that was an open access network. it was an open access network over at&t's copper wires. and 2,004, some telecom combat happened and that was cut off. what we are seeing here is the exact same thing. but instead of at&t's copper wire, the city and our families, we own that fibrin perpetuity. we can choose, as tim talked

about, from 10-15 isps through our internet. it is bud and bud light and we are san francisco. there is microbrew. lots of choices. just a quick question about supervisor cohen. >> overhead, please? >> this right here is a picture of a closet. and that new closet, and all those housing units, there is fiber-optic cable that can provide your cotituents with internet access, over five or. >> that is not going to work. >> that is a picture of phase i by west point, middle point. that fibrin goes into every unit at hunter's view. >> your time is up. sorry. >> thank you for your presentation. is there anyone who would like

to comment and public comment. public comment is closed at this time. thank you, mike, i appreciate that. certainly that could have been brought up and the department of technology if that were the case about the fiver connectivity. before we close and go into clo remarks, i want to call up a representative from d.p.w. that i overlooked. i want to call him up. i did ha cnce to ask questions to him. hey,, jeremy, how are you? it is okay. you can talk from there. ts o on the mic. y. my nameis j emy. i'm a public works legislative affairs member. >> supervisor cohen: i am glad they sent you over because some information came to my attention that microtrencing is actually illegal.

>> right. there is, we currently do not issue permits for micro trenching -- micro trenching. there is legislation pending. the file would make it legal, but at this point it is not legal. >> supervisor cohen: who introduce that legislation? >> i believe then supervisor farrell. >> supervisor cohen: do you remember what day? >> i-- >> supervisor cohen: of course you do, you have that legislation. tell us when that legislation was introduced. >> it looks like march th, 2017. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. do you know why it has taken so long and white hasn't been hurt or why it hasn't been assigned? usual youintroduce something it sits for a three days and and a week you take action on it. >> i'm not sure. i was not into small and legislative affairs when it came up last. i do know that our department has historically had concerns.

as patrick mentioned before with the process of retrenching. >> supervisor cohen: i would imagine that the concerns with micro trenching is a little bit like the speaker before you said. prop it -- possibly jeopardizing any of the utility wires, infrastructure. >> exactly, yeah. existing infrastructure and also oetrenched fiver utilities would be at risk of being damaged themselves given the density of our utilities. >> supervisor cohen: on the legislation that was introduced, what will it do? it was trying to make it legal? >> right it wastrto give the public works the authority to issue permits for microtrenie sidewalk >> supervisor cohen: i see. all ri i appreciate that. that is actually really interesting. thank you for sharing. colleagues you have any other weshould close out. it's been a really long day. for those of you who don't know, we have been doing this for tenant -- since 10:00 this morning. an incredible shout out to the

staff. thank you for being here and to the ladies to my right and to my left, you have been with me since 10:00 am. the only thing that is comforting as knowg we are doing good work and asking good thoughtful questions. on behalf of good hard earning taxpayers. what i see here today is a fairly costly and massive infrastructure project being proposed throughout our city. our public right away and neighbourhoods that i don't know if it is really ready for plant -- prime time. the cost for the endeavour we do not know. the number is swishy but i heard $1.9 billion. it isnot going to be finalized until after rfp which will be issued and june and hopefully completed by the end of the year. once we have the rfp results, we will begin to negotiate cost sharing. we would negotiate and begin risksharing rates, connection costs, impact fees for the trenching or it micro trenching and an this case, not to micro

tension. because it isil unless mayor rrgislan can move forward and legalize it, which is unethical if you think about it. figuring out you will pay for e utility po these are questions we do not have answers to. we do not know what the responsibilities of the rfp would be. and that actually generally concerns me. we may have a utility tax measure coming before us. you keep your eyes peeled for that that deadline is going to be june 19th. if there's going to be a tax measure on the november 2018 ballot, which is, quite frankly, rumoured to be the case. again this a tax revenue. a tax measure rather than a geo- bond for which we've already missed the deadline on. bu tax, whatever the language is would be determined by the cost estimate and the term, terms of the rfp. there are more questions than

answers here and it seems pretty premature to make this capital, or spending, i priority. you heard it reflected and the public comment, is this really a priority? i lovethgoal of this project, though. and i appreciate mike for pointing out to me the utility boxes that are predisposed already to fit themselves for a fiber. i would love to see the digital divide close but i don't think it necessarily has to do with access, but also with the costs associated with people logging on and being able to acquire access to internet. but is not clear to me that we've looked at all the options for achieving that. i do like the concept of a subsidy but again that is only half baked, it is not fully discussed. i wouldke to see look at a potential revenue or grant sources that citizens and businesses can tap into the

access of their internet service provider of their choice. supervisor stefani said she understood that analogy -- the beer analogy. >> supervisor cohen: not just bud light, but bud and what? but we like microbrews, we liked the finer things. we do like variety. that is an excellent point. when i hear about the enormous cost and risk associated with p3 endeavours, and also acknowledging the fact that it has never been done and a ci like ours, that is not something we can turn a blind eye to. this could potentially be abject failure for government's only system, and i think, if i'm not mistaken, only the state of kentucky is considering--is considering bankruptcy from a government fiber system. i'd don't know it is wise and the direction we should be going and. there has to be a better bang for the buck and i think that is

what this whole conversation is about. making sure all of our citizens have access to the internet and we are also an a very cost-effective and thoughtful manner. i want to thank everyone who participated today. to continue this to the chair. maybe when the ha be released and we cancome back and revisit this conversation. madame clerk? supervisor fewer, absolutely. >> supervisor fewer: i just wanted toank supervisorhen r inging this hearing forward. we all learned a lot today. i want to commend our city -- commend our city for having the goal of bridging the digital divide, and i also want to let people know that at san franciscoweif dida survey that shows that, you know, a lot of people don't have internet access and their home, meeting that, or a laptop or computer, but 98 % of our students and parents had cell phones. i just don't know, i mean i think that this is so expensive

and i think that it is s.f. city, if they care about the digital divide, then a suggestion would be to have frie et stations olr san francisco where people get access, have computers there, have devices they are, instead of just at your public library. but have it really, really accessible to a lot of people wherepele can just go and use it. it doesn't have to be and your home, but you can have access to it everywhere. and i think if they want to be a part of this solution, then that is, considering we have so many billionaires that are living here now, that i think it would be of really generous and great thing to be part of san francisco, and to put that money into actually giving service to neighbourhoods that don't have access to this, and also when supervisor cohen talks about her housing project, they can be putting and computer access rooms as they do at hotels for

all the residents there and i suestion and not on the backs of working folks and san francisco to pay for this. anyway, exciting news, i think but also daunting. i watont really thank supervisor cohen for bringing this forward. >> supervisor cohen: thank you very much. is there any other business before us? >> clerk: there is no further business. >> supervisor cohen: thank you ladies and gentlemen. we are adjourned. [♪]

>> good afternoon, everyone. how you feeling? this is a really special day for us. it's our opportunity to acknowledge many of the amazing young people that we have here in san francisco, and we have been doing this now for eight years, and it was something that mayor lee started.

[applause] >> thank you so much, mr. mayor. so many organizations that we referred you to us we work with closely, and many are funded by our department of children, youth and family, and i just wanted to acknowledge maria fu, who's the director of the

c.y.f. and lives, breathes, and ettas everythi eats everything that has to do with young people. we have sups in our districts that does so much with public schools. katey tang graduated from public schools. she invests in every single one of our schools in her district, so i'd like to have katey tang please join us for a little welcome. [applause] >> supervisor tang: thank you very much, hydra, and welcome, everyone, and congratulations. as hydra mention, i did grow up going our public schools here in san francisco and proud graduate of sfusd, and so i definitely know how much it means to be able to support these schools in any way i can. like many of you, i grew up with an immigrant family and was the first in my immediate family to attend college and graduate from college and then go onto receive a graduate

degree, as well. when i first went to ollege, i really worried so much about how it is that we're going to pay for college. my parents had to work overtime so much that i barely saw my dad on the week, was working a working and then i had a brother that was right behind me, and we were supposed to overlap in college ears so definitely freaked out how we were gooing t pay for college. so i pushed myselfradua in three years so we -- i could afford to help pay for college. some of my favorite experiences were the extracurricular stuff that we got to do and earn some money at it b i'm excited for all of you and the journey you have ahead, and of course all the pport that you have from your parents and family and friends. just enjoy it. it's a wonderful time to do self-exploration and learn how

to live on your own. so thankful for this honor today, and thank you to mayor farrell for continuing this tradition. so congratulations. >> thank you, supervisor tang. not often do you get to be in the room with the president of your college, and we are lucky to have areat g relationship with san francisco state university and our president of san francisco state is here to welcome - know that there are six of you, maybe. how many of you are going to san francisco state. [applause] >> yeah. so if you'd please join us in welcoming your new students. >> so the six of you, raise your hands again. all right. we're going to have a photo. okay. again, i want to reiterate the comments the mayor and the supervisor, etcetera, and thank all of your sponsors and all of the families that are here.

i'm really excited for you. there there's a special responsibility that comes not only with your scholarship but going to college, and at san francisco state we talk about the responsibility of being an educated that y education not only is a great gateway for you, but it's a great gateway for your families going forwd. ctuly conducting some research i wanted to share with you. 40% of our students are first in their family to go to college, what we call first-gen. we have about 50 -- about half of our students. about 40% of our students are pell students, etcetera. and what's interesting is once you go to col and graduate, it's very likely that another person in your family, including your mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, aunt, uncle, will go to college.

and the ripple, the wave that we're tracking now is really quite significant. y h ad theonor a commencement, not this year, a year ago, to h a diploma to a grandma -- great grandma who wa yearsold w had put children, grandchildren, great grandchildren through college and who then finally said it's my turn, and she came to san francisco state, got a degree in poetry, and it was absolutely the high point of commencement. and her whole thing was getting the first grandchild to go to school. i td he, you know, our commitment to the responsibility of being an educated person, it means being active, being involved. as mayor says, we want you to be a good citizen, we want you to vote. we just want you to be

productive in ways that you want to be, and that's when the world opens up to you. so congratulations. i'm really pleased that a bunch of you are coming to san francisco state. i'm on the 5th floor of the admin building. you are welcome. there are free food up there sometimes, but it's really ific. we t o ourselves as managing talent. so one last bit of advice to hear from a university president, and that is in many ways, you not only look like me, and i look like you, when i was in high school -- i'm from east oakland. i was one of the fewnese kids on the baseball team at that time, and a counselor said to me, don't go to college and waste your parents' money, okay? and the only reason i got to college was a, i could play

baseball, and two, i actually wrote a paper that was published when i was a junior in high school. and i couldn't understand why the counselor said to me not to waste my parents' money. so you get the opportunity for revenge like me because when i myt -- when i got my ph.d. i e]ent aopy to theor. and -- and then, i felt guilt, right? and so when i became a president, i was going to send him the announcement for that, but unfortunately, he passed away, and i did -- i thought, i better not buck the odds, right, that kind of thing. but it's just you have to persist, you know? the world is complicated, it's challenging, but the is opportunity and the support, the scholarships, etcetera, is golden. it's like being drafted one, whether it's baseball or any sport.

but it's an investment in your talents, and i believe that each one of you will take advantage of that. and i look forward to having you, wherever you are, whether you're at state or any college or university because you're going to make a difference, and that's what we expect out of you. congratulations. [applause] >> so i hope therandcrenid f anr's education. yeah, that would be good. and katey, could you please talk to my son about finishing in three years? that would be awesome. all right. you ready? we are going to announce our award pients, and if i can have the mayor and supervisor tang join us, we're going to have each one of you come up and get your certificate, and this is your opportunity, family, to take pictures. our first award recipient is
