nonpottable use or i wouldn't call it satellite type use of changing of water us use at the particular buildings and i am you looking forward to bringing you that information when it is ready. that concludes my comments. thank you very much. commissioners, anything? any public comment on this item? okay next is the consent calendar. >> item 11 all matters listed constitute the consent matter are considered routine. they will be acted upon by a single vote. there will be no separate item unless requested in which event it will be removed in the calendar and considered as a separate item.

>> any request to remove an item. >> i move the item. >> second. >> before we vote any public comment? seeing none all in favor. aye. >> approved. next item, please. >> possible action to adopt the 100 year storm flood risk map review process. delegate authority to make future updates for certain specified purposes. >> we have any discussion, commissioners? >> we have a presentation. >> good afternoon,

commissioners, i run the utility planning division and wastewater. i am here to talk about the draft 100 year storm flood risk map, and as it says the potential action item is to adopt said map to make it final as well as review the process for parcel review. if i could get the slides up. as we spoke about, i believe, in july for this item the 100 year map falls within our greater flood resilient strategies for san francisco. our working project definition is the capacity to anticipate risk, limit impact and recover quickly when damage occurs from flooding and to achieve this, we have three work areas. the first is our capital projects aimed at meeting the level of service storm, five

year three hour storm and significant funding as you know in our capital plan for that. second is the collection system o and m street sweeping, catch basin cleaning. the third is within our program and legislative initiatives. the goal of those initiatives is to really inform the public about where these flood risks are. in addition the next part of the project will be to work with the city family to leverage the phases of development point of sale, new construction and plumbing and lateral requirement to make our city more resilient with each phase of development. >> so the 100 year map is what it sounds like. a map that shows where flood risk is for the 100 year storm. our goal in publishing this is

to give property owners and perspective buyers information about the flood risk to enable them to make in formed decisions about their properties, projects to do on the properties or assets they have on their properties. this map is also to support the development of legislation which will require sellers or lessors of property to disclose to buyers or tenants the location of the property in the flood risk zone. it is a foundation for the city family to advance flood resilience efforts city wide. >> the legislation would be a disclosure on your sale -- what is it called? >> the legislation would require disclosure, yes. we will speak more about this. that would be the next step for

this deliverable is to utilize the map for the proposal of the legislation. >> do you have a timeline for that? >> the ordinance is drafted and is in pretty final form. we would share with the city family group and begin to advance to the board of supervisors. that would be clearly with this group's approval and the first critical path item is today's map. >> do you anticipate push back on that? >> we have not seen much so far. i will get in a little later in the presentation into the outreach and what we have been hearing back from the community during the outreach. for the most part people are glad to have the information. they did have questions about review processes which we have developed. i will get to in a couple of slides as well.

>> let me quickly go over how we developed the map, the basis for it is. as part of urban watershed assessment process sfpc developed state-of-the-art model to support the watershed approach to public engage mend and that model was one of the significant contributions that urban watershed made. we used that to develop the map to have the flood resilience effort. >> this slide just tells how we then used the model. we simulated the depth and extent in flood anything a 100 year design storm. the model including within it drainage infrastructure pipes

tunnels and pump stations. it includes ground surface data about elevation. we did include the impact of expected sea level rise on our infrastructure in terms of back flow. to be clear, however, that is about sea level rise in coastal waters, not the advanced precipitation models for stormwater. when we receive that data under development with a large project that could be incorporated into the model. i want a fine point on that. that is one of main questions we have been getting. we took all of that data to express it using gis and identified areas with deep flooding which we defined for this purpose to be greater than 6 inches of flooding and contiguous flooding which we defined greater than half a block. when we identified all of the

parcels that met both of those criteria, drawing a boundary around that is what yielded the map. >> so you can see the result you have that exercise here. this is the draft map that we have been utilizing for the project and for our outreach. the blue areas or blue wish purple areas are flood risk zones, not surprisingly you can see that they very much overlap with the historical and natural waterways which, of course, are low-lying areas. i am not sure if you can see very well. it is in turquoise, historical waterwayses. hatched areas were not included in this study at this time. then for your reference this map is from 1869.

it was part of the basis for the watewaterways on the prior slid. you can see the alignment with the 100 year flood map. >> that map where the sewer areas were not part of the study. >> the separate sewer areas. >> there is a couple reasons for that. one is that as you know there is significant development occurring there which is subject to subdivision regulations including flood elevation for the separate sewers such as treasure island with its own plan and hunters' point. those are under different conditions than our combined sewer areas. >> can i get the slides back up? this is to zoom in to a neighborhood around the lake

showing the map as you get more detailed. we also did create and piloted a searchable, zoomable map for the public so they can put in their address and zoom in to their property to determine whether or not their property is in the risk zone. then we did a robust notification process which we described in our last visit here in july. we mailed about 4,000 letters to properties in this area to inform them about their location as well as all of the differently sources available to them. we have a lot of faq as well as rain ready programs such as adopt a train, etc. our outreach included public

available sessions where the publico talk one-on-one with staff about technical questions as well as presentations. we reached out to neighborhoods particularly in flooding areas. when we last visited with you, this parcel review process was something we talked about. it was under development at the time. staff has now completed this process. the purpose of it is to acknowledge that property owners may want to request a review to understand whether or not their property would remain in the flood map. there are two criteria that could potentially have them taken off the map. that would be if the parcel's ground elevation is above the 100 year storm elevation. secondarily if there is a significant barrier to stormwater to prevent the

flooding from entering the entire parcel. >> can that barrier be a temporary barrier? >> we center in that category retaining walls, concrete walls and senses. staff did have a lot of discussion about whether or not a fence, for example would be in the same category. the conclusion we came to was that if upon a site visit the staff determined that the fence was a barrier and was routing stormwater off of the site, that that would be grounds for taking it off. however, we also determined there would be a map updating process recognizing that in the future somebody co-opt to remove

that fence. similarly, with our flow factor adjustment when the property owner gets the flow factor adjustment they don't keep it forever recognizing they may do something else. there are updates and this would follow that same process. we then determined how this process would work in terms of getting back to the customer. the first step is that the applicants would submit the information to the sfpc and we do have a form developed for this. we would then review the property based on our model data and new data the applicant was able to provide and at the puc's discussion after looking at the site, a site visit would be performed at this time. we would then make a determination about the outcome for the property, then we would

get back to the person about the determination and update the map. because the update will take a little bit longer, we would give them documentation about the determination and update the map on the recurring basis. so based on the fact we have the substance of the map completed, the 100 year map, but the re-- plus the review process required for the public to potentially ask to get property removed. our next step is to ask for formal adoption of the flood risk map. following that we would move forward with the legislation we also discussed last time which would require sellers and lessors of property to disclose to buyers and tenants the property is in the flood risk

zone so they could make in formed decision about protecting their property and assets. that is what we have today for you. happy to take any questions. >> just to be clear, what is before us today does not require any ratification by the board of supervisors, is that right? >> no, my understanding is that today's action would just be to adopt the map itself. >> that will be a final action? . >> that would be a final action. >> what won't subject to the board of supervisors review would be disclosure ordinance. thank you. >> i will move the item. >> second. >> any public comment on this? seeing none. all in favor. >> from is public comment. >> please come on up.

>> may i ask that you give the commissioners the packets. my name is marilyn amini. my parcel has been identified as being on the flood zone map, and i am at 2667 14th avenue. you will see an arrow pointing to that. the criteria 4-bing on this map -- for the being on the map it is likely i would experience deep and contiguous flooding at least six inches. if you look at the second page of what i have handed you. actually, the fourth page showing how high my home is, i

think it is highly unlikely that i would have any flooding at all because there is a continuous down sloping of slapped past my home to the corner at 14th and remarkable down -- what shall i say. down sloping down to 15th. the water opinioniously goes downhill around the corner at 14th and then down to 15th, which suffers real problems because you have the fact there is in sloping on all corners of the section. you will see the hand out that fpuc gave to all of the neighborhood asking for help after the 2013 flood at 15th and

walanona asking that we remove street debris to help what is circled as being a flood zone. i don't know how my property got on the map as being a parcel that would in fact be subjects to 6 inches of flooding because as i say, the water keeps moving on, and i think i included on the third page this is my home. it sits quite a bit higher than the 300lanona home at the corner. 7 to 12 feet higher than that. there is no way that i would accumulate 6 inches of flooding.

i question that, you know, i should be on this map at all. i think it is sens should have the -- citizens should have the opportunity to review this before you adopt the map. >> thank you. your time is up. we can forward this to staff to see if it is something we can look at later. thank you. >> we can forward this to staff to look at your assessment of your property. thank you for your comments. >> my understanding is that there is a process for a circumstance like this to be able to say that exactly what you are saying through staff charnels that you don't believe your home should be part of this

map. i think there is a process that sarah walked us through to show us a process for community members. >> the point is that we use modeling and the information we have nout the field. in case something changes or we miss something there is a process where you can remove your property from the map. we adopt the map because we did extensive outreach with everyone. by coming here and giving us the information, we will evaluate your property right now.

[ inaudible ] >> once you give us information we will take you off the list. -- off the map. . >> that is the key. i think to the resident's point the contiguous is the problem. if you are talking about seven to 10 feet, i can see how that would be an acceptable appeal. at the end it says delegate to the general manager to make future updates for certain specified purposes. would this be a specified purpose? a unique circumstance? >> it is interesting because you could have a complex where you subdivide it. you could be on the 12th floor. you don't flood. you feel sorry for who is on the first floor. can you hear ne?

>> i can hear you. >> i think those are the challenges. it depends how home are subdivided, right? you can live in a complex, you know, a multi family home where on the first floor you flood, but on the third floor you don't flood, it is two separate units. those are the challenges w were facing when we came up with this map. i understand your issue. >> i don't think i should have appear order the map. nobody came out to look. i did bring the situation up when i came to the community meeting. i got a letter back saying, well, there is a flow. i could read the wording of it. there is flow past my house, but that doesn't mean that i would be affected by the flow.

in fact, the fact that there is contiguous flow past the house means that i will be protected from a 6-inch flood. >> we will look into it. we will look into it now. okay. thank you. >> if i could get your information, staff can get back to you. >> i want to add because this is a model that synthesizes storms that is why we established this process, recognizing not every storm is how the model says and that there can be variations in ground elevation. if we get your information, we can look at it. >> i think we will have this conversation in other area us. in rules committe commit they we

particular when 71 residents. we have to be you ready for the ordinary circumstances people think they have or don't have at all and be ready for each individual appeal without having appeals, right? it is a little dicey. >> we tried to reach out, we did millers, community workshops, we notified the community organizations to get the word out, and, you know, we will miss people so we have a process where we can reevaluate everything. the main thing that helps us improve the model. one thing we have included in the model is the urban watershed assessment. that is in the model. the more accurate data we can get from the process will be

helpful as well. >> i'm sorry. this is going into title. >> you just by your action you today creates an appeal process. it sits forth the rules why by property owners can file formal request for review on their parcel and sets out the process to review. two criteria for granting request if he willvation is higher than what the competitor model showed or retraining wall our structure that our model didn't pick up to you block the water. if that grants it, you have delegated authorities in this action if you vote on it today for staff to amend the map. you are right, the parcel shouldn't be in here they can a

the map and pull the parcel out. >> the urban watershed assessment is online? it feels like that would be an important document four residents to be able to look at. they are in the watershed, for example. >> the urban watershed assessment information attained in all you have the features, the curbs and the areas and the slopes and all of that stuff have been placed into the model -- into the model so that it knows all you have this information? that was what i was saying. based off that information and effort we went through to do that assessment, we incorporate in the model.

>> i understand. i did two things. i went to the website as we were talking and i didn't see the urban watershed assessment. that is the first thing to look at to see if my house is in the urban watershed. then i went to sf water.org you and that link didn't work either. it iit is important for resideno have a first step to go to online or two steps which would be the assessment and floodway site like me to be my house on the map? so the watershed assessment is made up of numerous patters. the first part was characterization, looking at what are the physical characteristics of the watershedses? that is on the website.

i think it is very interesting and very useful. that being said, i would suggest that it probably would not assist somebody in this particular conversation just because it is so broad and it is targeted at explaining the physical characteristics of all eight of our urban watersheds. critical for urban planning but not for flood map appeal process. that is available. the characterization and assessment online both went into informing the improvement strategy. >> blooyou mean to look up the property itself? that is a user friendly interface to put your specific parcel address in on the flood map and see if it is in the flood risk zone. >> i tried that. it didn't work.

when it does work, it would be important for residents to do broad outreach effort. >> some outreach effort so residents can be able? >> if it does not work we will address that. it worked yesterday because we checked it. we will definitely look into that. just so commissioners are aware of the outreach, we did send 4,000 letters. we sent letters to every person whose parcel was in the flood risk zone. we then had five different public availability sessions across the city and i didn't mention in the interest of time but in the presentation we did do the presentations at weekends, nights, workdays, all kinds of times to be available to the public as well as with targeted presentations we did all evening presentations.

the outreach was robust. there are always going to be exceptions and physical conditions that we need to account four and hence the parcel review process. that is what we want to recognize. >> could i request that -- because i think it is correct to assume we are going to continue having this conversation for a while -- that we lead off with social media, mail, social contacts, 9% return on the mail so we are armed with that as we go to individual matters, yeah, i know we do that, but that is perfect. >> absolutely. other questions? >> we have a seconded motion.

all in favor. opposed. >> approved. next item, please. you. >> item 13 adopt a resolution for code section 8387 determining the sfpc operates overhead lines that present a risk of wildfire that are located in high fire danger zones and high fire danger zones and authorize development plan. >> i move approval. >> any public comment? >> all in favor? aye. >> it is approved. nicely done. >> next item. >> 14. approving c s1100 for installation of aclara

technologies for the san francisco power commission power enterprise not to exceed $9,993,604 and a duration of 10 years. >> a motion. >> i will move it. >> second. >> any discussion? any public comment on this item? all in favor? oppose the. it is approved. >> item 15. performance goals for fiscal year 2018-19 for the general manager. >> motion. >> i will move to the attachment. >> i will second it. i have questions. first of all, comment. these objectives reflect the

discussions we have had. when i focused on particularly the policy areas with the emphasis on compliance, which is what we have asked for, and i think those provisions are appropriate. i did have a question about under the water capital project implementation you have two items. ground water project and recycled water project. these are listed as ongoing. i am not sure how we know if you have done anything here. no disrespect. i am not sure what it is. i don't know what the target is in what are we trying to hit? 5.2 or .2 and .3?

>> so 5.3? >> 5.5, 5.2 and 3 on page 226. >> the reason i put it in there is to sort of measure the effort that we have done in those topics and i think we put them there so that it will be subjective of how much effort we had to do for like ground water acceptance, and, you know, how we move forward. that is a challenging one. we can eliminate it, but some of

the things how do you get people to kind of accept, you know, the recyclecled water one. we do have the capital projects and we can give you interim date on the recycled water project. but i think it is just more ongoing is more of acceptance, but we can definitely. >> this is under the section title water capital project implementation. it seems there is a target to be hit. >> have a question. are you done? >> well, i am. i have one more thing. a couple pages later 5.7.

you have eligible customers or portion there of. the last operation or portion thereoff that makes it hard to understand what we are measuring. >> 5.7. >> the date of july has gone by. >> july of 2018. >> that would be 19. >> the fact that there would be some kind of target. >> i think the date is off here. >> our intent is by the end of the year we will have extended the enrollment to all of the city? >> no, 2020. >> so 2020.

>> beabarbara hale. it was directing us to offer enroll meant to the extent feasible to all of san francisco by july of 2020, but we are in a position to do it by july of 2019. >> moved it up on me. >> put it in the growth plan. >> whatever the objective is we should state it, not just say some portion of it. >> we would get rid of portion there of. >> if that is what we mean. if the objective is to get it done next year that is what we

should measure you against. if it is something else, we should put something else in there. >> all right. i am gathering that we don't have to amend each and every item here. we just get to say change it. >> i am comfortable with that. >> there is 2.6 work force development policy october 2018. that is not going to happen. i am holding it up. i am meeting with staff they are extremely attentive and supportive. the delay is attributable to myself. you haven't seen the work done on that item. it is appropriate to bounce that to summer of next year as well. that is only fair, right? >> if you would like. it doesn't mean we have to wait.

i am trying to get it done. in the description we say why? i want to make sure my staff, you know, that i can point to we are making these commitments. >> in january. >> january 2019? >> october we know that ain't happening. >> the only other thing is our practice based on the last one was we could attach something that is perfectly appropriate. santa cruz i haven't submitted, mr. chair, but we are allowed to submit these because they have our signature with comments as appropriate. >> i have a question. have we looked into the bottled

hatch snatchy did many years ago and it proved impossible. >> i am glad you asked that question. it is part of which one is it. >> 5.3.1. >> so what we are doing is that, you know, going to start mentioning it to some of you. going into the board chambers and supervisors office, they havtheyhave bottled water. certain pipes when they retrofitted this building we didn't do all of the plumbing. some of the water is brown, you have to let it rub. run. they ask me if you care for water. i look at nestle.

at least the five gallon we need to say really take advantage of this opportunity to brand so they see our water. when we come in there, it is positive. we start looking into it, working with steve richy. they identify a bottling company that will bottle our water in a five gallon and we are using pretty much the same logo that you had back there. we modified it and updated it on the five gallon bottles. as part of that is the work force component where we get folks and do the training to not only refill them. one, you have to take the water truck to you the bottling place, then you have to bring the bottles and store them. also, you have got to take them

to each one you have the supervisors offices at city hall. if that is successful, we will do it at the hospitals. it is part of the mou with nurses they require bottled water. we are looking at the costs. actually, the costs the departments are paying for bottled water will pay for what we are doing. we are going to do the five gallon, then i don't think we will do the smaller ones, but i am starting to realize when you go to certain events where, you know, they want to hand out water, you know, there may be an opportunity tour, you know, special supply of that. we need to think about that approach. the five gallons, you know, you can reuse the five gallons that is the plan.

>> i love it. >> that is great. >> i will have paula do the whole presentation on the five gallons. >> perfect. >> anything else, commissioners? did we have a motion already? and second any public comment on this item? all in favor. opposed. approved. >> now to closed session. >> we will read the items prior to public comment. item 18, existing litigationtor pacific gas & electric. item 20 exist you go litigation pacific gas & electric. item 21, item 22, item 23 exist you go litigation pacific gas & electric. >> any public comments? prior to closed session?

okay. a motion? attorney-client privilege ledges. >> both to assert. >> second. you >> you we are back. this concludes closed session. do we have a motion regarding whether the discussion of closed session >> you motion not to disclosed. >> moved. commissioners is there any other new business? >> we need to vote. >> i am sorry all in favor. >> aye. >> opposed. it is approved. >> i will get it right now that i will not be president any more. any other new business? okay. with that, the meeting is

adjourned. thank you all very much. br k you all very much. >> well, good morning. i am thrilled and excited to welcome you to day one of dream force and kick us off with some exciting events. as many of you know, giving back is at the heart of what we do here at salesforce, and nowhere

is it more evident than at dream force. and we couldn't be more excited to get this dream force community involved in giving back to important causes. so now, i'd like to turn it over to salesforce co-c.e.o. >> well, thank you, he been keb thank you so much for being here. as a fourth generation san franciscan and someone who grew up in this city and who loves this city so dearly, the reason why today like today is -- why a day like today is so important to me is we can take the power of salesforce, the power of all our customers, our community, and all of our trailblazers who are here and give it back to the city in a meaningful way. this dream force is dedicated

back to san francisco, and this morning, it started by giving $15 million in donation to our san francisco and oakland public schools. [applause] >> that was exciting to me because now we've given over $50 million to the san francisco and oakland public schools, and we're more than halfway on our way to our goal of giving $100 million to our public schools. the reason why that is so important is because if you want to participate in all of this amazing energy and activities and part -- this incredible economy that is emerging, you need a strong education. you have to have the background, you have to be able to know what it means to be able to work with this amazing technology. but you're only going to be able to do that if you have strong

public schools, and that is why we're recommitting again back to our local public schools and why i'm so excited that vincent kuyler here representing the san francisco and oakland public school district. [applause] and i'm also very excited because for me, we're making further and further gains against our number one issue in our city, homelessness. we have a phenomenal new mayor, who we're about to hear from, london breed. we all know that homelessness is our number one issue in our city, and we're giving millions more to our homelessness. we've already raised more than $37 million for our homeless families. now we're continuing the fight into homeless individuals, and we know that we need to raise hundreds of millions of dollars to directly address the homeless individuals' problems. it's our number one issue in our city. we're working on making san

francisco a stronger city, a stronger city with strong public schools. a strong city by working with our homelessness, a strong he city by cleaning up our city, and we're doing all this together. san francisco is the number one employer in san francisco, so salesforce combined with san francisco can do more together, and that's what we're here. and let's not forget, there is no strong san francisco without a strong oakland. the metaphor of the bay bridge, that we are connected, that we are all connected, and we are deeply connected to oakland. we will never forget oakland, which is why we're giving this money to the oakland schools, and why our programs extend to oakland, as well, and why i'm so excited that mayor schaaf is here, our phenomenal mayor of oakland. so you look behind me, you look at vince, kayla, you look at

mayor breed, mayor schaaf. together we're focused on a stronger bay area. this is why i'm excited today. i'm excited the dream force is happening. i'm honored to be here, and now i'm going to turn it over to mayor breed. mayor. >> the hon. london breed: thank you, mark, and thank you to the salesforce team. i am london breed, and i am honored to be mayor of such an incredible city. welcome to the city and county of san francisco. mark and i both grew up in san francisco, native san franciscans. we know the experiences of the city over the years and how much it's changed. we have a growing economy where we have a 2.4% unemployment rate, but yet, we still see the challenges that exist on our streets. i went to public schools, but so many of my friends who i grew up with, sadly, ended up behind bars, sadly, dropped out of high

school, and sadly, lost their life to gun violence. we are going to change what is normal in san francisco because we are going to invest in our kids on the front end. we are going to make sure that the doors of opportunity in the technology field are available to them. that's what this contribution is about, leaving no child behind. many of you know that making sure that our kids get a good education and the companies that are part of san francisco contribute to pain internship opportunities and -- paid internship opportunities and invest in our kids. mark bennio has helped up to the plate time and time again before i was even mayor saying we're going to create opportunities, invest in our kids, and make sure the doors of opportunity are open for them. so i am really proud to be here today because we are going to change what is normal in san francisco for the future. it starts with the contributions of salesforce, and i challenge

other companies here in san francisco to continue to support our school districts both in san francisco and in oakland. thank you also for supporting the challenges that kids face with homelessness. larkin street youth and hamilton have been at the forefront to helping to address this crisis, and we are going to address and end family homelessness by working together. the marin food bank, our playgrounds and open space, all these investments contribute to a vibrant san francisco. today, it's a new day in san francisco, a new investment, but more importantly, new opportunities of hope for the future. i just want to thank you all so much for being here, and i want to thank my partner across the bridge in oakland, mayor libby schaaf, who is coming to the mic now to talk about the amazing work that she's doing in

oakland. mayor schaaf. >> what a good day. it is so exciting to be here on the first day of dream force, and i love the trail blazing theme because we are here with a trail blazing c.e.o. trail blazing to recognize that companies cannot sit on the moral sidelines any longer, that companies have a responsibility and a need to take positions. trail blazing because mark recognizes that this is an interdependent region, that san francisco does not exist in a bubble, and i am so excited about my fellow native girl mayor, can i just say that? i'm sorry.

that regionalism is the new trail blazing order of the day. we have got to work together to solve the problems that we share. homelessness is not a problem that is unique to oakland. housing affordability is not going to be solved in an isolated bubble in san francisco. these are issues that require regional collaboration, and that includes our private sector leaders, as well. trail blazing. now, i've got to say, i am so grateful that oakland was invited into this fold three years ago, and this third year of investment in the oakland public schools is truly paying off. i also stand before you as an oakland native, an oakland public school graduate, and i'm even an oakland public school parent. and because of salesforce, this

year, 1300 students took computer science courses in oakland. [applause] >> and mark, that is double from the year before, which was your first year of investing in computer science education in oakland. and i'm excited to tell you that our kids are loving it. they are engaged. 76% of those students got an a or a b grade in their computer science class. it's clicking. and we even have a school in deep east oakland, elmhurst, that setup our first coding cafe. that sounds tasty to me, a coding cafe. so it is with so much gratitude, but also a sense of trail blazing hope, that i stand here

in partnership with some of my favorite leaders that are committed to a regional approach and that are committed to keeping our promise, investing in better educational outcom mo.

[applause] >> thank you -- thank you, mayor, for that incredible introduction. good morning. it is an honor to be with you all today with mayor breed and mayor schaaf, whose leadership on this issue is critical to our success. mark and ebony, you all are tireless champions. this moment marks an important

milestone in our work, and a celebration of a critical partnership. the reality that we have today is that nearly 2,000 kids in san francisco are without homes. they are at risk of an unstable future and a cycle of poverty for their lives. i came to hamilton families because i believe that family homelessness is solvable, and no child experiencing homelessness in our cities or in our region is acceptable. and this partnership with salesforce.org, with mark and lynn, has shown up and helped to address homelessness across our entire region. i grew up with some housing insecurity as a child, and it was so powerful to me to have my family and community around us

as we rallied through that difficult time. this problem is complex, and it necessitates our vigilance, our commitment to innovation and resources so that we can figure out the best strategies to combat this persistent challenge. salesforce.org has been a partner to hamilton families for more than a decade. this is not new, you all, okay? they have shown up and shown out for this issue. and this manifestation of that partnership is truly a commitment that we get to see not only from mark and lynn personally but the staff at sales force who show up and volunteer at our shelter, who make move in packets and school lunches for our students every single year. we couldn't do this partnership without other organizations across this entire region who

tirelessly combat homelessness every single day. i stand here in their honor, shoulder to shoulder. larkin street, i know is here. we could not do this together -- apart, we can only do it together, and we have to do it across sectors. you heard from the speakers before me that it takes everyone doing their part to combat this issue, and we've got to do that. it actually isn't a choice anymore if we want a vibrant region and a few tour that we know is possible -- future that i know is possible with our young people. it is my pleasure to introduce and be here today with my colleague, ebony freeland. >> thank you for all the speakers for showing up today. now i want to let you know how you can get involved at dream force.
