you'll see strays getting shelter and medical attention, and other care. i live on market street, and every day i see people bundled in blankets with a smattering of their approximapossessions. we can put a few more resources to getting people off the street is and getting people working again. we are people, not the homeless. thank you. >> good afternoon. i'm wendy click. i'm from hospitality house. i want to just ask for funding in restoring the mental health services. this is an assess to the program that i work for at hospitality house. each week when i see an individual come in for individual or group wellness groups, they come out lighter on their feet. those that are in our community receive the same case managers for various support, and with those case managers there's

over 100 maintained housing once they're off the street. we have one community members who was homeless for three years, and he had a approach the bench staying in, but confidence his wellness and community managers that have supported him, he has may i approa approach -- maintained housing for a year. so i'm asking you to fund the housing and community support services. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speakers. >> hi. my name is becky, and i'm here to support and ask for funding for our youth organizing. purchase our youth are here. one of them spoke. we have currently summer youth programs where our youth get to understand the issues that are affecting them are systemic, and this really empowers them to do their information. they're able to do, you know, inform and then pass this onto,

like, their neighbors and such, and really, we know that -- we often talk about youth being the future, but they are now, they are experiencing what we are experiencing. they are part of this community, and we know that it's really important to work together, so we are working with others asking for $300,000 for youth funding, particularly or specifically 100,000 for casa de just cause. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> my name is marie job for the community living campaign. i'm here to talk employment, particularly employment of seniors and people are -- with disabilities. 61% of the people in san francisco lack basic economic security. the unemployment rate for people with disabilities is five times the rate for others, so among the employment asks, there were two of particular interest to us. one is the s.f. reserve program, which was 317,000, and the other was for the senior

community employment services program, which was 250,000, both providing subsidized employment for nonprofits. we want to be part of the solution to issues you heard today, so please put us to work. when you go back to your office, you'll find a flock of worker ducks have left more about this message in your office. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, board of supervisors. my name is judy young. i'm the executive director at the vietnamese youth support center. we're asking to support a mental health program supporting vulnerable vietnamese youth and families who are experiencing depression and trauma that go untreated, and when they ask to see a therapist, they have to wait two to three months to see a culturally competent therapist.

so with the grant, we would be able to serve youth at our community site with an on-site therapist. and the second ask is a $160,000 facilities renovation. this will allow us to serve over 500 youth in our community with bathrooms and a.d.a. compliant. we currently only have one bathroom, so we hope you'll consider this request as part of your budget appropriation. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> thank you. how you doing. hi, supervisors? we're all nonprofit. i just need help -- we're going to walk the streets in the bayview, we're working with parents, single parents, mentors, we're going to mess with kids with behavior problems, we're going with y.g.c. i ain't on calendar, i just want walking through it. i wanted to put you on notice, and we are a 501(c)3.

we'll be working the bayview district, mission district, chinatown. we need to address the kids that don't have food, not having breakfast in the morning. you know, we need to get in their face and kill them with literature. we should be up and running real soon, so we need you all support. you'll see me again. and you all doing a great job, and you all look nice in here. nice staff. take care. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hi, supervisors. debbie lerman from the human services network. first i want to thank the mayor's office for supporting our nonprofits by doing a cost of doing business increase in each year, and renewing our nonprofit displacement founding. we ask the board to do what you can to grow the pot and to

prioritize the budget justice coalition ask and will assist our vulnerable and low-income communities who have been left out of the city's wealth explosion. i want to touch on the process. we want to ensure that this body achieves its goals of transparency and community engagement. i w i am concerned about the limit of public comment time to one minute which limits speakers to broad generalized comments without time to discuss policy. we ask that you also do not delay any of the add backs, make your add backs as specific as possible because it takes a lot of time to r.f.p. and contract things, get the money out to the community as quickly as possible. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is deanna. i'm here to ask you to please consider parents for public schools and keeping them in the budget. they do an incredible service

for the community, particularly for marginalized parents, mostly parents of color and immigrant parents in bridging the gap of understanding from maybe the public education systems that they're used to and being able to choose the school appropriate for their child and also in facilitating that intimidating process of make even not knowing the language and parents for public schools does a great job of empowering parents to want to become increasingly engaged in their students' education, and also to bring community with fellow parents of their parents schools and to be able to make a positive impact on the educational futures, and as we all know, the overall out comes of that child. is that telling me -- >> supervisor cohen: yes, it is. next speaker.

okay. >>. [speaking spanish] [voice of interpreter] >> my name is guadalupe, and i live in bayview. and i want to please -- oh . and i want to please ask you to support p.t.s., which is through parents for public schools in your budget because they really help us develop our engagement as parents and our knowledge of -- so that we can better help our child's educational future. they give us information about everything we don't know, and they help us better support our

children, and we need to have parents for public schools. we're all latino parents because we don't necessarily understand everything that the district provides us with, language gaps. and they really help us with that support. thank you. [end of translation] >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. thank you for this opportunity. my name's daisy hernandez, i am latino outreach coordinator. i am working in bayview area and mission and visitacion area, too, and i would like please include p.p.s. in your budget because we really do great support for the family, and if this is not happen, the family is going to be affected.

please remember p.p.s. i think we're doing great job. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. are there any other members of the public -- please come up. >> jean adams, lifelong san franciscan, long time member from the days of old son mary's housing community, there's a new wave of homelessness coming to san francisco. there are only grandmas raising grand kids, reference mayor london breed raised by grandma, reference mayor willie brown raised by grandma, but for how long can grandma continue raising grand kids? there's been no cola raise in three years, and yet the cola

increased imposed on rent stablized apartments year offer year. that means rents going up and will soon exceed income for these old people. ten cities will soon become wheelchair cities -- [inaudible] >> supervisor cohen: miss adams, thank you for your document. your time -- you've exceeded your time. is there any other member of the public that would like to speak in public comment? okay. seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you very much. thank you to the men and women that came to public comment. we heard and took copious note oz wh s on what we heard. what i'd like to do is continue items 1 and 2 to the june 21 meeting. do i have a second? seconded by supervisor stefani,

and madam clerk, do we have any other business? >> clerk: that concludes our business. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. we're adjourned. >> good afternoon. thank you for coming i'm happy to be joined this afternoon by sfmta director ed russ kin and

howard -- as you know powered scooters appeared on our streets overnight in march. they pose some really challenge. emissions free transportation and makes it easy to connect with public transit is a good thing and something that we welcome but we cannot sacrifice public safety. these ridden on sidewalks pose danger. there are reports of broken bones and near misses. the city has received nearly 1800 complaints about scooters including them blocks public space. it can hurt local businesses and

affect the ability of all of us to navigate our city. the city supports scooter scaring to the point it makes our transportation system safer, more equitable. we are here today to announce the launch of san francisco powered scooter permit and pilot program. this permit program represents a thoughtful, coordinated and effective approach to make sure that san francisco strikes the right balance. the program incorporates the importance of my earlier cease and desist letter, and state and local laws, that prohibit riding on sidewalks and it includes new

component. we have have innovation but it must keep your sidewalks safe and accessible for all pedestrians. the program provides the framework though make sure that the companies operateing in the public right of way of doing so lawfully and accountable for their business and tools for the city to issue enforcement as needed. permits are available today on the sfmtv website and ed russ kin will provide more information about them in a moment. i would like to note that this has been a collaborative effort that has included the board of supervisors, my office, public works and other. began in legislation passed at

the board of supervisors and signed by mark farrell. i would like to thank aaron peskin who has a leader on this legislation. under that legislation any company operating shared powered scooters in san francisco must have a permit from the sfmta as of june 4 to have their scooters parked on sidewalks or any public space. that means any scooter company operating is required to mover e it's scooters by june 4. only those issued permits may be able to continue. san francisco supports transportation innovation but it can't come at the price of privacy, accessible, and safety. this permit program strikes the

right balance. i would like to introduce ed russ kin to talk more about the new permit program. >> thank you. i want to thank the city attorney for his leadership and the great support of his staff as we have been developing the legislation that required the permits the legislation by the board of directors to establish the permit program and their support for us in developing the application itself. as the city's transportation department we are excited about the prospect that these powered scooters could bring. their zero emission and compact and i haven't ridden one, but i hear their pretty fun.

this is something that we certainly want to be supportive of, but it's the if that is really at question here in tomorrows of why we are putting a regulatory process in place. last year the sfmts board of directors and san francisco board of supervisors, and transportation authority adopted a set of principles set to govern emerging technologies and services on our streets and these principals embody san francisco policies as relate to equity and affordable and environment and transparency and consumer protection and worker right. we have taken those principles and embedded them in a permit program that we have established and you will see in the permit

aapplication. just become something is innovative doesn't mean it's good for our city. we are using this to put in place the regulatory for example work that makes sure that we can get the best of the transportation benefits for the people of san francisco without some of the detriments such as we have seen on the streets already. the city attorney made reference to safety and that is our number one concern. we want to make sure that the use of the scooters is being donecephaly and appropriately when used and when stored and not using them to ride on sidewalks or block sidewalks and there are the two main concerns we have seen and we share, so the permit will require a robust

plan to show how they will ensure the proper use and storage of their scooters. there are provisions that speak to the people. who support the scooter share programs whether employees or contractors, there are privacy protection. we are in the business of transportation and mobility but not in the business of permitting harvesting of personal data, so one of our requirements is making it clear that any permitee would have to make apparent to them what data would be collected and how it would be used and give them the opportunity to take out of sharing that data and still be able to take the service. there are numerous other aspects

of the permits we are establishing as part of this one year pilot where we will be able to work with a successful perm permitee to make sure this service can be manifested in our streets that works for san francisco. we will issue up to five permits for a total of 2500 scooters, 1250 in the first six months and if things are going well expand up to 2500. during this period we will require the submission of data and gathering data from external sources and 311 complaints and others so that we can evaluate how well these scooters are working whether meeting their promises and addressing some of the issues that we have seen to date. at that point we would be at a decision point of whether to terminate the program, continue the program, discontinue the

program, expand the program. we expect to learn a lot f enforcement is part of the program and we want to make sure to the extent that we grant a permit and we have appropriate mechanisms in place whether confiscating scooters or taking the permit. we don't want to get there, but we need to be able to give the public assurance that in granting access that we are going to enforce the conditions of the permits that we established. one of our great partners and enforcement in the public right-of-way and really in the management is san francisco public works and we worked with them in the permit program and application and will continue to work with them as this plays

out. i would like to pass the mic. to our director of public work. >> i am excited that we are putting a pilot permit program in place as many of you know when these scooters handed in our secretos in fran, we have been working really hard to try and make sure that at least they are following some kind or order and since they handed we have had to pick up over 500 scooters on the streets that have been parked inappropriately, means not put in a safe place and created trip and falls or not been parked in the right place, so this permit process that will be in place is one that will help the city understand if these actually belong on our streets in san francisco. starting june 4, we will then be picking up scooters anywhere because the good lines have been

set forth as we have heard. we will pick them up and not an easily retrievable process. they will be held as evidence until this permit process is in place. work with us here in the city and most importantly we want to see if there is a place for them in san francisco so, this pilot will encourage the corporations to apply and go through the process and we will select the right people and see how it work. thank you. >> thank you ed and mohammed. with that we will take questions and they will be dealt with appropriately by one of us up here. >> how will the scooter

companies be held accountable? >> under the law if someone is helping abet a public nuisance and they have notice, they can be held liable, so the scooter companies are responsible for conduct that they know is occurring once they have been put on notice. if you look at the cease and desist letter that i have sent, we have put them on notice as to things that we would expect from them, so certainly they can be held responsible for conduct of people that they are encouraging to ride. >> fines? >> if i was to bring an action against mass balance for public nuisance certainly, but that is not what the nature of the enforcement action has been so far and not what is contemplated under the permit program but we always reserve the right if there is a public nuisance to

bring an action if so nolteed. i think that what you have seen so far is the city in a cordnated way has been operating to try and mitigate any potential public nuisance so far. in terms of a letter to cease and desist and the director of public works dedicated the resources needed to ensure that we minimize the possibility that there were scooter nuisances on the street and i think what you see from the three of us collectively standing here in terms of resources already dedicated and the quickness with which the pilot program has been made available that the city is willing to dedicate the resources that we need to make sure that we strike that right

balance between promotions transportation invasion and not sacsacrifiesing con screen conv. >> will you address helmets in any way . >> the current state laws requires person using scooters to have a driver's license, we are a helmet and ride in the street. our permits say that they have to comply with state and local law. >> does it require they offer helmets? >> it does not. we are not being too prescriptive but telling them

how to be client with the specific permit of what they are applying for. >> what steps are you going to take into account when deciding who gets these permits? >> we will absolutely be accounting for their past performance. it's not meant to be in a punitive way, but i think their past performance will be a good indicator of future performance and they ability to be client with the existing state and local laws as well as potential permit conditions, so we were directed to factor that in and we will absolutely do so. >> the scooter permits are

available effective today and what is the soonest one might get one? >> the applications are available today so any scooter company will be able to go to the website and pull down application. we are establishing a deadline or june 7 for the submission so this is a fixed one year pilot program, so we will likely wait until june 7 until we have collected any and all applications at which point we will endeavor to review them as quickly as possible. applications will be working with companies to get them complete as soon as possible. the city attorney said we are hoping to issue permits by the end of june, so as soon as the end of june given our experience with past permit programs it probably will take some time to get complete applications and complete the review but we are

shooting for the end of june to have these permitted. as quickly after that as they can get them out on the street will be up to them. >> look at how quickly this has been developing the fact that in less than a couple of months that we have a program that has been designed by the mta and we are taking applications today and you have such a tight turn around i think is a measure of the degree to which the city collectively uses this as important both in terms of fostering transportation invasion, but also protecting the health and safety of people on our streets the ans and i wao applaud the mta for how quickly they have designed this program and the enforcement assistance of the department of public work.

this is where you saw the city coming together to recognize that this is important for our city. one more question. >> how many -- [indiscernible] >> three. we have had heard rumors of more that will be applying so you have heard the three that are out there. >> will you be likely to not get a permit based on behavior so far? >> i don't want to speak for the msa director and we don't know who is going to apply yet. >> is there past behavior that would preclude them from getting a permit. >> i don't want to prejudice the application and review process. we have some information about the three that we don't have about th the others but we want

this to be fair and we will give a fair review of their application. >> is the city charging? >> yes, our intent is to recover our cost. the state law restricts us to cost recovery only and i don't have permit fee. there is few different fees that apply including reserve we would require them to submit to address any others that the city has. this is designed to keep the city whole in terms of expenditure. i sent out my cease and desist letter and as of june 4 until such time as the permits have been granted, they should not be operating on public rights of way or parking on public

streets, that is correct. we have made it clear that as of june 4 they have to be off of city streets and i think the mta director has made it quite clear that past behavior will be taken into account in terms of the application process, so i think it will behoove everybody to follow the directive issued today by having them off public street it is on june 4 and in the event they are not the mta director will review that behavior and i will reserve the right to do anything legally to make sure that the law is followed that i need to do. thank you.

discriminatory hearing i had at my hearing at the sfmta office. getting on buss in a wheelchair is very difficult, a lot of drivers don't want to pick us up and a driver told me to catch the next one. i had to argue with him to get on the bus, i was able to, not too full. a made a complaint, but it was ignored for a month. i had to argue with staff to get an ada hearing. when that happened, i found out they had lost half of the video footage from the incident, including a portion of the video footage where the driver complained that wheelchair users always want to get on the bus when it's full. but the crux of this has been my experience with the so-called

neutral hearing officer who badgered, bullied me during the course of the hearing. it was very difficult experience for me. and not one that i wish to repeat. i really hope there can be neutral hearing officers that don't work for sfmta, mr. henry epstein still found against me, and found the driver did nothing wrong. he was not going to let me make a statement until i had to specifically request it and during that statement, even after agreeing not to interrupt me, he did interrupt me during the statement and was speaking over me multiple times. i have to recorded an would love to show this to mod staff, to talk about the incident in more detail. lastly, there was a union

representative there, both the driver and the union representative were much nicer to me than the neutral hearing officer. and i've been asking sfmta if there is a way to have a disability representative. because i think having a disability representative that is not affiliated with sfmta is an important part of disability people having a voice and help in the meetings. even with my cognitive ability, it was still difficult, so i worry about people making ada complaints that do not have the ability to speak as clearly or have cognitive of mental health disabilities, because that was very, very difficult for me. thank you for your time. >> co-chair blacksten: thank you for your comment. who is the second card? >> winship hillier?

>> thank you. i would just like to say that i tried to find the minutes on the website before i came here last night and they weren't there. i like to see the minutes ahead of time when i attend the meeting. so if you could put them up at least the day before, i would appreciate it. i wish to speak today about involuntary psychiatric treatment. i have been subject to this treatment for over ten years in this city. it is being done using -- first of all, horrible disabilities are being imposed on people far worse than any mental health issues they might have had before hand. it's basically, people are disabled and there could be -- it's unknown what the objectives are because the treatment is being administered in absentia.

and the confidential laws in the state are being used to conceal the identity of the treater, not the patient. so the patient has no recourse. they can't file a court case. they can't get evidence because of institution code section 5328 and they're helpless. and moreover, they're denied recognition of their disability. in april of 2010, psycho surgery was performed on me, which is against the law in this state. penal code 2670, welfare and institutions code section 5326.6, and i cannot even get a recognition that there is anything wrong with my brain. i've paid 4 grand for an mri

scan that showed my ventricle was 50% larger than my right, which is extremely unusual. it's way past three standard deviations from the mean. and ucsf would not acknowledge anything was abnormal with my brain morphology, even after i requested they change their interpretation. this appears to be funded -- this appears to be carried out using classified technology, including intelligence surveillance illegally used. and -- >> co-chair blacksten: you've got 30 seconds. >> yes, there is a timer here, i'm aware of how much time i have. i'm not sure how to wrap this up, but it appears to be involuntary treatment funded by the city, they get well over a million dollars a week to do

assertive community treatment. chair. >> co-chair blacksten: we appreciate your comment, thank you very much. all right, so i think we've got those two comments. let's move on to item number 4. which is the co-chair report. and i will make my report brief today. i just want to let all of you know that we really do appreciate you coming. without you being out there in the seats to participate, we really wouldn't have a meeting at all. we're going through a transition time here in san francisco, a new mayor will be coming onboard. we're looking forward to working the new mayor. and we want to have develop a

mutually rewarding working relationship and have every confidence that will happen. i think you'll find today's meeting to be rather interesting. i want you to know that after following every meeting in the next week, the council gets together with mod staff and we very carefully and deliberately plan our upcoming meetings for the next three months. so today, we put some subject matter out there. they're all really related items. they're interrelated. and i think you'll find them to be interesting and compelling. all of the speakers are important, but i think the third one is of note. and you'll find out what he comes to present. so i want you all to enjoy our presentations. feel free to give us more speakers' cards toward the end of the meeting.

or after any presentation. ok. that is my report for now. i'm going to ask my colleague, the director of mod nicole bohn -- what? oh, nicole is not here. oh, now i find out. joanna, i take it you're on. >> thank you, co-chair blacksten. i am the deputy director of the mayor's office on disability. on behalf of director bohn who is sorry to not be here in person, she would like to ask you to recommend action to items related to any part of this presentation, or other items discussed in this report as a follow-up to today's public
