in our vision zero list, i'd like to ask for about 50,000 for ed's neighborhood for programming. and then, for mental health, i'm -- i'd like to see a mental health services for families, two clinicians at 355,000. and then, to backfill mental health services act cuts to only drop-in centers for homeless, another 355,000. and then for housing and homelessness, i'd like to see an additional funding for subsidies for seniors and people with disabilities for housing at 1 million, and subsidies for families at 355,000. those are sort of my major buckets. >> supervisor sheehy: thanks.

i can go ahead. >> supervisor cohen: supervisor sheehy? >> supervisor sheehy: i want to preface this that i think that the list that we have in front of us for citywide seems like a good starting point. i -- for me, this is a -- would be additional to that if we could get released additional funding. i know we have 1.5 million -- was that 1.5 or 2 million that we got from the police department, so we have access to that. the question is if we get the additional money that's come in in revenue via the mayor's office.

>> and then $200,000 a year, each year for women's cancer to provide services to assist those who are medically underserved --dash underserved visuals living with cancer.

>> when i mentioned the mental health services i wanted to emphasize the services to be one can you reemphasize the reallocation figure? >> supervisor stefani: might increase ask was 700,000 spee one oh, k. thank you. so i want to move the conversation to talk about -- supervisor fewer hasn't shared with us her priorities. >> supervisor fewer: i think this is the importance of growing the pot and now we are looking at this need. it is the other half of public safety. i would like to see an increase in workforce development for homeless people for the most vulnerable residents -- residents and i would like to

increase that amount of money. i would like to also see more flexible housing subsidies, primarily for seniors and people with disability. i think we've heard huge demand for that. i would like to see an increase in home delivered meals and congregate meals. to release of ou really serve od vulnerable populations. i would like to see more money put toward resource development for seniors and for people with disabilities. and also more money toward healthcare and risk reduction for reentry transgender women. i would like to see central staffing funded, also an a.p.i. community services and neighborhood services pack an increase in that. data. an increase in a.p.i. youth and family services and a.p.i. family services tax childcare resource referral and additional money. an increase for resources for

black and latino youth and i would like to see an increase in -- i'm sorry. i would like to see advocates for mentors for fosters of youth. and i think mostly, i would say i am not in favor of putting any money into that. i would say that i would like to emphasize is more housing subsidies and mental health services for homeless families. >> supervisor cohen: oh, k. that is fantastic. all right. it is just after one. let's take a one hour recess. that way the rest of our colleagues will be able to join us and grab some lunch, we will resume at 2:00 ladies and gentlemen. thank you.

>> thank you and i look forward

to working for you, sincerely as mayor, and as a private citizen. i actually am very delighted to be here today, and as you all know, we have definitely come a long way. as we mentioned earlier, with the division and foresight, and the brains of michael cohen who is not here this morning, it was created as a public private partnership at the san francisco chamber of commerce. i remember when i was chief deputy in the communications office, he announced he had set aside $2.1 million to establish a china desk. and being a sceptic, i said i will believe it when i see it. ten years later, 100 companies, more than 100 jobs created, and more than $5 billion of direct investment, global s.f. is now an independent organization. our work will be on economic development. and our job will be making san francisco and the bay area a

destination of choice for overseas companies. while we conduct local businesses with the rest of the world. i would like you all to please me to members of the global s.f. team. team members, please raise your hands when i can all just call your name. [applause]

we continue to operate as initiatives focused on specific readings -- regions. whether these regions are in africa, europe or the middle east, just to name a few. i would like to thank my founding board members who gave some really nice remarks earlier. he has been with us actually from the inception of china s.f. also my fearless cochair of china s.f. at the time, thank you for being with us. and wendy wong who has kept me out of trouble in terms of numbers and finances. and of the transition team for

helping my team and i create an identity for our new organization and making today a reality. i would also like to thank associates for donating to creative work on our brand. it is kind of cool, right? we are ready to stand on our own 2 feet. we will be spending time on sectors important to the city, and integral to the resiliency efforts, biotech, syntax syntac, food and beverage, real estate and infrastructure to name a few. we want people all over the world to know san francisco is open for business. i look forward to meeting and working with all the members of the council. economic development organizations representing different countries, and cities and counties throughout the bay area. i know we have representatives

today from the peninsula and east bay. thank you for coming. while we continue to build upon our existing partnerships we created over the last ten years. we are taking donations anytime. it is taxi festival. laura is accepting money. our biggest sponsor will be the city of san francisco today. through the form of a grant, the three international initiatives will continue to receive seed money to do the great work they have been doing over the years. we are really proud of that. with that, i would like to stop talking and let our panelists today talk to us and tell us why san francisco is a global city. and show how diverse our city really is. thank you for coming. [applause]

we will have the chief operating officer a decathlon. if you haven't been to their shop, you have to go to their shop on market street right next to the four seasons. they have the best products and really good prices. last but not least, a really good old friend of mine who is the pro in our space. she is now director and office of the c.e.o. please welcome them. thank you. [applause]

>> it's great to see everyone kind of get together and prove, that you know, building our culture is something that can be reckoned with. >> i am desi, chair of economic development for soma filipinos. so that -- [ inaudible ] know that soma filipino exists, and it's also our economic platform, so we can start to build filipino businesses so we can start to build the cultural district. >> i studied the bok chase choy

her achbl heritage, and i discovered this awesome bok choy. working at i-market is amazing. you've got all these amazing people coming out here to share one culture. >> when i heard that there was a market with, like, a lot of filipino food, it was like oh, wow, that's the closest thing i've got to home, so, like, i'm going to try everything. >> fried rice, and wings, and three different cliefz sliders. i haven't tried the adobe yet, but just smelling it yet brings back home and a ton of memories. >> the binca is made out of

different ingredients, including cheese. but here, we put a twist on it. why not have nutella, rocky road, we have blue berry. we're not just limiting it to just the classic with salted egg and cheese. >> we try to cook food that you don't normally find from filipino food vendors, like the lichon, for example. it's something that it took years to come up with, to perfect, to get the skin just right, the flavor, and it's one of our most popular dishes, and people love it. this, it's kind of me trying to chase a dream that i had for a

long time. when i got tired of the corporate world, i decided that i wanted to give it a try and see if people would actually like our food. i think it's a wonderful opportunity for the filipino culture to shine. everybody keeps saying filipino food is the next big thing. i think it's already big, and to have all of us here together, it's just -- it just blows my mind sometimes that there's so many of us bringing -- bringing filipino food to the city finally. >> i'm alex, the owner of the lumpia company. the food that i create is basically the filipino-american experience. i wasn't a chef to start with, but i literally love lumpia, but my food is my favorite foods i like to eat, put into

my favorite filipino foods, put together. it's not based off of recipes i learned from my mom. maybe i learned the rolling technique from my mom, but the different things that i put in are just the different things that i like, and i like to think that i have good taste. well, the very first lumpia that i came out with that really build the lumpia -- it wasn't the poerk and shrimp shanghai, but my favorite thing after partying is that bakon cheese burger lumpia. there was a time in our generation where we didn't have our own place, our own feed to

eat. before, i used to promote filipino gatherings to share the love. now, i'm taking the most exciting filipino appetizer and sharing it with other filipinos. >> it can happen in the san francisco mint, it can happen in a park, it can happen in a street park, it can happen in a tech campus. it's basically where we bring the hardware, the culture, the operating system. >> so right now, i'm eating something that brings me back to every filipino party from my childhood. it's really cool to be part of the community and reconnect with the neighborhood. >> one of our largest challenges in creating this cultural district when we compare ourselves to chinatown,

japantown or little saigon, there's little communities there that act as place makers. when you enter into little philippines, you're like where are the businesses, and that's one of the challenges we're trying to solve.

>> undercover love wouldn't be possible without the help of the mayor and all of our community partnerships out there. it costs approximately $60,000 for every event. undiscovered is a great tool for the cultural district to bring awareness by bringing the best parts of our culture which is food, music, the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san

francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy,

so i want to thank everyone for being here today at the civic center bart station. we are all here today because we care. we care about our commuters in san francisco, we care about the residents that visit and work in our city. we care about the people on -- the residents who live in our city. we care about civic pride here in san francisco. civic center and the bart station is at the heart of san francisco. it is the door way to our city government and city hall, it is -- that's better. it is the doorway to the plaza, to market street and mid market, the growing part of our downtown corridor. this is the heart of san francisco.

it has become unfortunately a glimpse into the homeless and behavioral health issues that we have here in san francisco. it is not safe. it is not acceptable anymore. so today i'm proud that we are announcing a partnership between our san francisco police department and part that is going to increase staffing here at civic center bart station. san francisco police department, we are going to be increasing foot patrols by over 300 hours per week. bart is also going to be increasing their staffing levels as well. we need to make a difference for the commuters that use bart. we need to make a difference for san francisco residents and we need to make a difference for visitors who come to our beloved city of san francisco. let's also make sure tono
