what it contributes. some reasons to consider this, one, potentially a cost-effective solution. and an innovative service model, so something on demand. for instance, something that can be hailed and can serve people in an on-demand service. another reason is just to involve people and involve treasure island residents and businesses in the development of autonomous technology. so there can be opportunities to involve -- there's job core on island to involve treasure island, to involve folks in learning about the new technologies and helping to support this pilot, so an economic development angle. so those are some of the reasons

that we think this is a neat opportunity. the pilot period that we have to work with with this grant is four years. so we do have an agreement executed this spring. it's a four-year term. so we envision ramping up, being able to get a shuttle out there 18 months from now, so before 2020. it will be a pilot or -- we will set up an evaluation system. so we'll identify data requirements, a safety plan, test plan, and be evaluating all those issues, as the pilot goes on. finally, something that we'll think about that's associated with testing a new type of

service model is bringing together this shuttle service with the other public and private transportation services that will be introduced to the island and bringing in technology that can help to make people's transportation experience more seamless. and that means bringing together sort of a -- in a more simplified way trip planning and access to trip planners that can show you all of your options across all modes, public and private, where you can easily pay for your different modes through a simple interface, whether it's a public or a private. and where you can get additional features like navigation on transit and feedback, you know, on your travel through this tool. so that's something we'll be looking at, is, you know, how can this shuttle service, if

it's a creative or innovative type of dynamic system be integrated into the other transportation services that we'll also be introducing. ultimately, it could -- the one vision where ultimately this could go is to bring in the policy aspects to this. we'll be a travel demand agency, supporting people's transportation and there could be ways to incorporate incentives and rewards and things like that into this type of technology. the next steps for each of these projects involve, first of all, for the toll system, eric talked about that. there ultimately -- he will be bringing a request for proposals for the toll integration system, which is the main design piece

of the toll system and there's also the civil engineering that is going on. for this a.v. shuttle demonstration, we'll bring you a proposal of the design of the shuttle service itself, so looking at the different service options and also looking at the different partnerships and community involvement, stake holder involvement, that we can bring. and we'll also, probably along with the transit pass discussion, bring more ideas related to this multimodal integration and what types of options can support that. that will be something that we'll probably bring to you, associated with the transit pass recommendation. thank you and happy to take your questions. >> supervisor kim: i do have a couple questions. this is sul actually very exciting and i was wondering

what jurisdictions or agencies are piloting autonomous vehicles for public service across the country. >> yeah, across the country, there's a number of pilots going on in a number of states. the photos that we showed, las vegas was one of them. so las vegas has this pilot on their public streets that's happening now. florida has some pilots that they have gone ahead and procured. a couple of cities in florida. boston. and, in fact, even here in the bay area in the east bay, contra costa county is partnering with dublin and with bart to test an autonomous shuttle that will circulate through their bishop ranch business park and ultimately their plan is to have that served by bart as well. so that's another here in the bay area, operation of an

autonomous shuttle on the streets. >> supervisor kim: who has been providing the procurement for the vehicles or the services? >> we as the cities have been the lead agencies to procure typically a operator and vehicle together as a package. >> supervisor kim: what companies have been providing the service? >> there's a handful of them that are actually out there. so navia is the name of one company. easy mile, the name of another. local motors is the name of another company. those are really the big three. i think there are some others that are in sort of startups. zooks is in the design phase here in san francisco, but i'm not aware of them actually operating a pilot yet. so it's a small handful. >> supervisor kim: you said it would be a mixture of public and private transportation services,

so i assume that's muni ferry being the public side and the private -- is that you are assuming that the developer will be providing services or are you talking about lyft and uber? >> one potential service could be water taxi service. we've heard interest in some of the start-up water taxi companies in being able to serve the island if there are facilities available for them to do that. >> supervisor kim: is there water taxi service in the bay area? >> there is. in operation, a varying range of sizes of vessels from your small, more taxi-sized, to prop s.f. -- and eric knows more about this than i do -- but 50-passenger, 100-passenger ferry, vessels, small ferries. >> supervisor kim: okay. well thank you so much. any other questions? seeing none, we'll open up for

public comment for items 6 and 7. seeing no public comment, public comment is now closed. thank you. it's always really interesting to learn the different concepts and ideas that we'll be piloting through this mobility management program. it's exciting to think about the different things that we'll be able to pilot here on treasure island that can help us to understand how to improve public transportation services throughout the city. at this time, i want to -- mr. clerk, can we call items 8 and 9? >> clerk: item 8, introduction of new items. item 9, public comment. >> supervisor kim: any introduction of new items? seeing none, we'll open up for public comment on item 8 and general public comment. seeing none on items 8 and 9, public comment is now closed. mr. clerk, are there any other items before this committee? >> clerk: there are none.

>> supervisor kim: seeing none, meeting is adjourned. thank you, everyone.

>> manufacturing in cities creates this perfect platform for people to earn livelihoods and for people to create more economic prosperity. i'm kate sosa. i'm cofounder and ceo of sf made. sf made is

a public private partnership in the city of san francisco to help manufacturers start, grow, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one

that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their products and it comes back to how do we help companies set more money into arthur businesses and develop more customers and their relationships, so that they can continue to grow and continue to stay here in san francisco. i'm amy kascel, and i'm the owner of amy kaschel san

francisco. we started our line with wedding gowns, and about a year ago, we launched a ready to wear collection. san francisco's a great place to do business in terms of clientele. we have wonderful brides from all walks of life and doing really interesting things: architects, doctors, lawyers, teachers, artists, other like minded entrepreneurs, so really fantastic women to work with. i think it's important for them to know where their clothes are made and how they're made. >> my name is jefferson mccarly, and i'm the general manager of the mission bicycle company. we sell bikes made here for people that ride here. essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot

about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally.

over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions are as a small business owner. >> sometimes it's appropriate to bring in an expert to offer suggestions and guidance in coaching and counseling, and other times, we just need to talk to each other. we need to talk to other manufacturers that are facing similar problems, other people that are in the trenches, just like us, so that i can share with them a solution that we came up with to manage our inventory, and they can share with me an idea that they had about how to overcome another problem. >> moving forward, where we see ourselves down the road, maybe five and ten years, is really

looking at a business from a little bit more of a ready to wear perspective and making things that are really thoughtful and mindful, mindful of the end user, how they're going to use it, whether it's the end piece or a he hwedding gown, are they going to use it again, and incorporating that into the end collection, and so that's the direction i hear at this point. >> the reason we are so enamored with the work we do is we really do see it as a platform for changing and making the city something that it has always been and making sure that we're sharing the opportunities that we've been blessed with economically and socially as possible, broadening thatgo.

>> good morning, i want to give a special welcome to mayor ferrell, and supervisor sheehy and san francisco general hospital and this incredibly special place ward 86. it is special for so many reason. it has played such a pivotal historic role in addressing the hiv-aids epidemic and now in ending the same epidemic and very excited to welcome mayor ferrell to this podium to address the group on this very wonderful day. >> thank you dr. ehrlich.

i want to thank everybody for joining us here today and i want to thank dr. ehrlich and all the staff here at san francisco general hospital and for hosting us here today. this hospital, our city in particular where we have been through the aids crisis dating back to the 1980s and it is fitting that we are hereth to and to highlight your continuing commitment to fighting the epidemic. our lawmakers community leaders, providers and advocates and many of whom are standing here with me today we are closer than ever to getting to our goal. zero new infections, zero deathst and zero stigma. in 2016 we had a report low of 223 new hiv infections in san

francisco. these accomplishments are the result of strategic investments in prevention, treatment and social services that we will continue here in the city of san francisco. this requires a sustained commitment to funding in our city, which is why since 2012 the city has backfilled more than $12 million in federal hiv cuts. today our spending approaches $60 million every single year, but we have a lot more to accomplish. we have to reduce december decer parties between the african-american and latino community. this discussion will highlight and help those in youth communities, lgbftg community.

includes 2.8 million to offset cuts made through the federal center for disease control. these support prevention programs and increased community access to testing an linkage across the community. also includes 1.4 million to support getting to zero. this will increase prep outreach and navigate outreach and employment for those with hiv. these are critical to ending hiv and aids here in fran. i am can feel that the people behind me and the working working here in san francisco, researchers, providers and members of our community women puwillput these funds to good u.

i want to bring up someone that is a former colleague and also a friend but the first time i got to know this individual is because he was an advocate for getting to zero and a leader for that move. here in san francisco when i was budget chair, we had earnest and strong conversations about the topic, but i have not met a more convincing and a more proactive advocate getting the zero than that individual. i want to welcome supervisor jeff sheehy. [applause] > >> this is the first time i have been back here since being appointed by mayor lee, so it's

a special moment. this was the first outpatient hiv clinic in the country and some of the people are still here and still working 30 years plus into the epidemic. the very first patients who came in, none of them made it out. there are stories of people will tell of the doctors and nurses and caregivers sitting around the table and everybody crying because there was nothing they could do. this place has special meeting because it's the place where getting to zero is hatched. we made substantial progress and couldn't have done it without the support of the city, mayor lee and now mayor ferrell. i really want to thank mayor ferrell for his commitment that goes back to being on the board for the finance committee the

idea of no new hiv infectionst and no hiv deathst and no stigma, people thought we didn't know what we were talking about, but the great thing is we did get new tool. we did find out that if somebody who manages to control hiv in their blood undetectable, so there is no hiv detected that they cannot pass the virus on to someone else who is not hiv positive, that is an amazing thing. undetectable equals uninfectious. we had the tool that shows if you take this pill every day and you don't have hiv, you are greater than 95% protected against infection. in fact at kaiser since they have implemented this and thousands of patients later, they have yet in san francisco

to see an infection. if you do both at the statement, you test them, treat them successfully until they are undetectable and reach out to everybody and get them on pre prophylaxis, you can send the epidemic and that is the program that we have been doing. first of all, getting this funding to sustain this effort is huge because as people and many folks behind me are involved in this consortium, there are communities that we are still not reaching both in terms of testing, in terms of treating and getting on pre exposure prophylaxis. this is the hard work now. thank you to president obama and the affordable care act which pays for these treatments but

the hard slog is talking to people who historically have not had good access to the health care system and historically experienced disparities. we will be bring r. bringing people into the health care sim system who have not been served by it. hiv is the gate waisway. we will be able to treat a whole bunch of symptom. i want to give a salute to the department of public health, the finest in the country. i am so proud of the work that we do this tremendous institution. dr. ehrlich is here. i worked here and i couldn't get treated here because this hospital serves the under the served and has historically done that, so if you didn't have

insurance you were here, but they didn't take insurance. these are the best doctor. people don't realize we have the finest docks, they have ucf doc. they come with the best credentials in the country and they come here to serve those that suffer the greatest disparity. i want to thank the mayor for not only getting to zero but the bacbackfills because we have toe able to continue to test and link people to care. i want to thank everybody for being here. it's emotional being back here and it's the first time i have been back on this ward since i left and became supervisor. i want to salute the people that work onward 86 and work at my hospital. they are my hero.

thank you. [applause] i need to introduce the next speaker. i would like to introduce dr. thomas aragon. >> good morning, how is everyone? my name is dr. thomas aragon, i am the public health officer in the city of san francisco and i grow up in this neighborhood. in 1988 i started clinical training here so i am very proud to be here today as your health officer. in san francisco in the department of public dealtdeparr approach is based on embodying and promoting universal dignity

and equity for all. our new mission statement is protect health and well-being for all in san francisco. our vision, making san francisco the healthiest place on earth. mayor mark ferrell and my district supervisor jeff sheehy. what's up. sorry. embody and promote these values and the biggest champions of making san francisco the healthiest place on earth. we owe a huge gratitude to them. yoheard about the racial disparities.

in african-american men it is 2.5 higher and for latinos it is 2.1 higher and our campaigns we are goin doing. when you have a chance look at some of these amazing posters. this was done with a lot of work doing ethnographic research in the community and figuring out how to do this from a strength-based perspective. john melacar is leading this effort at the department of public health. first san francisco deemploys a world class syringe access and disposal program because it is the best evident-based practice that reduces syringe sharing

among persons and reducing hiv, hepatitis c and hepatitis b. second, for reducing risk of infection from syringes they are the most important group to reduce infections because they have the highest risk of getting multiple pathogen. i want to end by reminding us by keeping the prevalence of infection as low as possible by persons who inject are important to all of us and moves us toward our vision of making fran the healthiest place on earth.

thank you. [applause] >> my name is himen scott. i am a physician here and i moved to san francisco to train and work at ucsf to work at this clinic, so i am a proud provider here and i am proud of the staff -- here we take care of patients living with hiv and at risk for hiv offering prep. i started a young african-american on prep who moved to san francisco and heifehadnever heard of it. he heard about it from his friends and sex partner. this is the power of how networks and friends and families and partners can influence individual's uptake of prep.

i think campaigns are a great way to encourage this conversation and prep is more than taking a pill. it's a program and for this young man we were able to get him connected to primary care and get him his vaccinations and ensure he had other support he needed, access to housing and case math and some structural barriers that african-american and latino man are facing on a daily base. basis. the prep navigation was supported by the getting to zero program and our navigators communicate with this patient almost daily when he initiated prep in an effort to keep him on help. we have seen several zero conversions particularly among afric.we have seen this challenh

uptake and pir cis tense and staying on prep and the getting to zero campaigns are in place to support these individuals staying in care, so i along with the navigator text with my patient frequently to help him stay engaged and meeting him where he is and i think that is the ethos for all the work that we do here and not just forcing people into a system that might not work for them but trying to change the system so it does work for them because we want to help people stay in care whether living with hiv or wanting to access prep. i want to turn the podium over to diane halvelier for remarks and closeout. >> good morning. i am diane halvelier and i am a

professor and physician and have been working in the aids response since the epidemic. people come from all over the world to see our beautiful city. people from the health world come from all around the world to see getting to zero. as you heard getting to zero is an imwish effort to get to zero new infections, zero deaths from hiv and zero stigma and we have set a target of 90% reductions by 2020 an 2020 about less than0 infections per year. this was launched by many of the people standing up here in 2013 when we met together at the lgbt center and realized we could do

more with strategy and coordination across sectors. when we launched getting to zero, we had a first few flagship programs and the first was expanding prep. we also have a program where we are trying to strengthen care, people who have fallen out of care and we need to welcome them and we sponsor add progra sponsm called rapid. between the time someone gets tested and they start care they fall out of the system. here right down the hall, ground zero for hiv care, we started a rapid program where we offer treatment on the same day that

people are infected with hiv. this is good for the individual and keeps them healthier and reduces transmission. dr. coffee, the director is standing at the back of the room and i'm sure would love to answer any question. last week i was at the united nations at a meeting for for geneva and one of my colleagues who runs the program in ban rock. they startebangkok.they startedr results are better than ours and it shows you the exten extent ad impact we are having. back to san francisco are we getting results from getting to zero? i think we do have. we have 50% in reduction. contrast that to the united states where over 6 years we

only had 16% reduction. it is going to get harder because we are going to need to address disparities in our city. everyone knows about these and that is where this funding is so important because this funding is going to be target as you heard on prevention and treatment for populations that are disproportionately affected by the epidemic including african-americans, transgender, hihispanicings and transgendered youth. just to step back and summarize and say this funding is crucial because of the status quo we are not going to make it and secondly this funding reflecting the values of our city. finally, this funding is going

to benefit the citizens of our city, but also the hiv community around the world and for that you are fulfilling your service to others and we ever deep gratitude, so thank you very much. [applause] >> that's it everyone. the press conference is over and i think all of us would be happy to answer any questions on the side. thank you. >> look at that beautiful jellyfish. the way to speak to students and

motivate them to take action, to save the planet, they do, they care and my job is to speak to them in a way that they can understand that touches their heart and makes them feel powerful with simple actions to take every day. ♪ ♪ >> i was born and raised in the desert of palm springs, california. my dad was the rabbi in the community there. what i got from watching my father on stage talking to the community was learning how to be in the public. and learning how to do public speaking and i remember the first time i got up to give my first school assembly, i felt my dad over my shoulder saying

pause for drama, deliver your words. when i was a kid, i wanted to be a teacher. and then when i got into high school, i decided i wanted to get into advertising and do graphic art and taglines and stuff like that. by the time i was in college, i decided i wanted to be a decorator. but as i did more work, i realized working my way up meant a lot of physical labor. i only had so much energy to work with for the rest of my life and i could use that energy towards making a lot of money, helping someone else make a lot of money or doing something meaningful. i found the nonprofit working to save the rainforest was looking for volunteers. i went, volunteered and my life changed. suddenly everything i was doing had meaning. stuffing envelopes had meaning, faxing out requests had meaning.

i eventually moved up to san francisco to work out of the office here, given a lot of assembly through los angeles county and then came up here and doing assemblies to kids about rainforest. one of my jobs was to teach about recycle, teaching students to reduce, reuse, recycle and compost, i'm teaching them they have the power, and that motivates them. it was satisfying for me to work with for the department of environment to create a message that gets to the heart of the issue. the san francisco department of environment is the only agency that has a full time educational team, we go into the schools to help teach children how to protect nature and the environment. we realized we needed animal mascot to spark excitement with the students.

the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism of the phoenix, about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting.

>> great job. >> i've been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and i'm grateful for the work that i get to do, especially on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with my words to be an uplifting force for myself and others. think of entering the job force as a treasure hunt. you can only go to your next clue and more will be revealed. follow your instincts, listen to your gut, follow your heart, do what makes you happy and pragmatic and see where it takes you and get to the next place.

trust if you want to do good in this world, that >> supervisor fewer: this is may 18, 2018 regular meeting of the san francisco local agency formation. i am sandra lee fewer chairman of the commission. i am joined by commissioner cynthia pollock on my left and hillary ronen on my left. i am also joined by alisa romero the clerk. my apologies for starting late. i was in another committee meeting. madam clerk,o
