a.m. every night. so we can hopefully have a clean bill to work from. so i don't know if there's a second, but there is that motion. >> i will second. >> all right. >> you want to take a vote? >> i'll -- okay. i'll take a vote.

>> good afternoon everyone. on the mayor of the city and county of san francisco. [cheers and applause] >> mayor breed: i'm really excited to be here with some of our city's most incredible leaders. members of the board of supervisors, and including the person who has led the efforts for each and every one of us that brought us here to this day thank you so much. [applause] for farm too loan, survivors of sexual harassment and assault of how to navigate through tangled web of city departments and resources as they fight for justice and accountability. but thanks to the leadership of everyone here, we are helping those survivors receive the help and the support that they truly need. recent surveys have shown that more than 80% of women and 40% of men and have experienced some

form of sexual harassment. nearly two thirds of those assaults are not even reported to authorities. so why is that klee because time after time -- why is that? time after time survivors have been dismissed by the system. the system that is supposed to help individuals get the treatment they need to help heal from the traumatizing experience that they have heart. we have heard so many incredible stories about things that victims have had to go through, to the point where they just given up. and to have to recount such a horrible tragedy, time and time again, is something, that what we're doing here today to address is hopefully, is going to help to deal with this. this is not ok in the era of the me too movement and we cannot stand by and let survivors go through this experience alone.

today, i am proud that the board of supervisors is taking a huge step forward and helping survivors of sexual harassment and assault by creating our new office sexual harassment and assault response prevention. [cheers and applause] >> mayor breed: it is why we are here today. we, as a city clearly need to send a strong message. we hear you, we are here for you and will do everything we can to put the resources necessary to make sure that we don't just pass legislation to make an office like this possible. we actually passed the budget allocation to support the success of this office. i want to thank all of my colleagues who are here. every member of the board of supervisors was a sponsor of this legislation. every member of the board of supervisors thought for and voted to support the funding to make this office a success. i also would like to take this opportunity to address cheryl

davis from the san francisco human rights commission. she's not here today but she will be leading the charge in this effort, because we know that she focuses on issues around human rights and equity and things that matter. this clearly matters to the city and county of san francisco, which is why we are putting it at the forefront of the human rights commission. i am grateful to cheryl for her leadership. thank you to all the commissioners here who are here from the commission on the status of women. it does take a village to move things forward in this capacity. we have had an incredible leader in this effort. someone who has been a fighter and relentless in not only just producing this legislation, but making sure that every member of the board of supervisors served as a cosponsor and a real partner for this particular efforts. ladies and gentlemen, at this time i would like to introduce supervisor hilary ronen.

[applause] >> hello ladies and gentlemen in san francisco. today is an amazing day and victory for all women, but also all survivors of sexual assault in san francisco. let's give that a round of applause. [laughter] [applause] >> i want to start off by thinking mayor lee, first off when she was still a supervisor for being a very early sponsor of the legislation, and now for signing it into law and holding this beautiful ceremony. i think it elevates the importance of the legislation. thank you so much, mayor breed. and to all my members on the board of supervisors, it is so rare to introduce a piece of legislation that is unanimously sponsored from day one by every member of the board of supervisors. i think that is a testament to how amazing this board is. and my colleagues who care so much about this issue. it is also a testament to the

women behind the legislation. i did not write this legislation alone. i wrote this piece of legislation with a group of six survivors of right who worked every single day -- of rape and they brought the issue to my attention to begin with and then who said we don't just want to complain, we want to sit down and solve this issue. so i just want to give a huge shout out to those women and a very specific thank you to jane doe, who you will hear from in a moment, to rachel, who is here with us today, tiffany who couldn't be here because she's on one of those rare two-week vacations, but who will have a chance to celebrate at the board of supervisors in a few weeks, to britney, to maria, who is here with us as well, thank you for being here, at also to audrey you you will hear from in a moment. we had an incredible team

together, with my legislative aids, and specifically carolina morales, two champions this was all of her heart and soul from day one. if we can give them all a very big round of applause, they deserve it and so much more. [applause] >> so it was also surprised me that there were many women in san francisco who don't come forward and report sexual assaults, rape or sexual harassment, because we know this is an epidemic all throughout the country. but what did surprise me is that women who did feel comfortable coming forward, who wanted accountability from their perpetrators, who wanted to be involved in our city system to investigate and prosecute and to get some accountability and justice, that they were treated so poorly by city departments.

that was, honestly, a shock to me. the more i learn learned, the more i realized that we couldn't just have a meeting with the heads of those departments, who i know have the best intentions. we needed something more regular that was going to get us the type of systemic change that would make sure that san francisco would not only dissuade survivors from coming forward and reporting these crimes, but would also take a step forward and make sure we are on the cutting edge and meeting the nation in terms of the best practices of dealing with sexual assault. when we have statistics that one in every two women in her lifetime a sexually assaulted and one of every six men sexually assaulted practice is not something that we can just throw our hands up and say, that is a shame. this is an epidemic that must be taken with all seriousness.

we must have systemic change at every level. and by starting a sharp office in san francisco where survivors and victims can come forward and say, i am not being believed by a city employee, i am not being taken seriously, i'm not being treated with dignity, i'm not being respected, that from day one, they will have an advocate to help them navigate through these difficult systems will be with them side-by-side as they are going through the very painful process of telling their story and getting justice. so this is a very important step is one of only many steps that we need to end this epidemic of sexual assault in the united states. and i'm so proud of the leap forward we are making here today without further ado, it is my absolute honor to introduce to survivors who will speak to you next. the first one, jane doe, is actually a city employee who i have worked on for years on

women's rights legislation. we worked on equal pay legislation together and is the one that brought these issues to my attention in the first place. we will hear from her and a moment. and then audrey martinez, who is a leader with communities united against violence. it is an organization that works with the lgbtq community to end violence in that community and deal with a very specific issue that that community faces. if you can give them a warm round of applause, that would be wonderful. thank you. >> hello. mayor brigade, -- mayor breed, thank you. recently, a candidate for congress stated that the people closest to the pain should be closest to the power. often, we suffer in silence.

many of us who speak up are further quieted by abuse. but you listens. you listen to me and dozens of rape victims recount the details of our darkest hour. so many of us were not only raped but blamed and discarded by san francisco process law enforcement agencies. those sworn to serve and protect under equal protection of the law. so many of us did not receive proper care at the hospital because the city process sexual assault response team was inadequately resourced. we are told rape is a fact of life. rape is a sentence. the terror of the crime is only the beginning. the magnitude is unfathomable at first. it slips by shock and denial. but so corrosive is the impact of victims can never be the same nor can we escape the nightmare as it unfolds. i am jane doe. it has been two years and nine

months since i was raped. 949 days of my precious life stolen. supervisor ronan knew me before as a colleague and governments, a week or so after the rape, we had a call about work. i blurted out what had happened. sfpd was utterly indifferent and tried brushing me off without so much as an interview. they deemed rape to be complicated but not serious. i was patronized for asking police to take basic investigative steps like securing video evidence or interviewing key witnesses. i couldn't wrap my mind around it. neither could supervisor whose unwavering ronen support for your support has been a source of strength. she and her extraordinary team, especially early not more alice, have worked with a group of victims of rape to a summons the two stand up. mayor breed, supervisors, i'm

overwhelmed with gratitude for each of you. at the beginning of the hearing that led us to today, victim after victim shared harrowing experience as a being trivialized, blamed and. you listens, you asked watchful and smart questions of our city department that consistently failed the rising masses of victims of rape and assault. you stood with us on the steps of city hall to call for change. and today, we take a step forward by taking action. this office will be a source of advocacy and accountability that shamefully, we don't reelect in san francisco. a voice definitely absent in a course crying out to, me too. on behalf of victims, survivors, warriors, loved ones, all those who ever had or will be affected , thank you.

also, special thanks to supervisor stefani for your support. without women and office, we wouldn't be here. it is amazing that today our first african-american female mayor is signing legislation authored by a female legislature and supported by all of her colleagues. and by community members of all genders. this is truly a celebration of empowerment. to those who spoke up in the hearing, at the sv you or in civil court, because your criminal case is on shelf, thank you. i am honored and humbled to stand in solidarity with you. to those who cannot or will not speak up, who are so far from a seat at the table, we stand in solidarity with you and today, we start the work of building a bridge to you. thank you. [applause]

>> thank you, everyone. i am here, my name is audrey martinez. i'm a member of the community united against violence. i am doing what it takes to make the change, the change i want to see in my life. i want to hear -- to celebrate and thank mayor breed and supervisors in all city officials that supported this new love to create an office of sexual assault prevention and intervention. this office is important because people of all genders need to have a safe place and get help after violence occurs. as an emigrant survivor, it is important to have a space where we can feel cared about without

being ashamed. thank you for creating this space that helps foster, sorry, i'm so nervous. to be accountable as a human being and stop being shamed for the experiences that we have gone through. it is about time to get help and start the change . the shame. thank you. [applause] >> mayor breed: again, i know it takes a lot of courage to get up here and share your experience. thank you both so much for your courage and for bringing us to this point. i'm excited that we are here today to sign this legislation with members of the board of supervisors, president cohen had to leave but we have supervisor vallie brown, supervisor catherine stefani, supervisor norman yee, and others. thank you all so much for your support of this very important

legislation. at this time, i will sign the legislation. [cheers and applause] >> mayor breed: here we go. and today's date is? [cheers and applause]

. >> i love that i was in four plus years a a rent control tenant, and it might be normal because the tenant will -- for the longest, i was applying for b.m.r. rental, but i would be in the lottery and never be like 307 or 310. i pretty much had kind of given up on that, and had to leave

san francisco. i found out about the san francisco mayor's office of housing about two or three years ago, and i originally did home counseling with someone, but then, my certificate expired, and one of my friends jamie, she was actually interested in purchasing a unit. i told her about the housing program, the mayor's office, and i told her hey, you've got to do the six hour counseling and the 12 hour training. she said no, i want you to go with me. and then, the very next day that i went to the session, i notice this unit at 616 harrison became available, b.m.i. i was like wow, this could potentially work. housing purchases through the b.m.r. program with the sf mayor's office of housing, they are all lotteries, and for this one, i did win the lottery.

there were three people that applied, and they pulled my number first. i won, despite the luck i'd had with the program in the last couple years. things are finally breaking my way. when i first saw the unit, even though i knew it was less than ideal conditions, and it was very junky, i could see what this place could be. it's slowly beginning to feel like home. i can definitely -- you know, once i got it painted and slowly getting my custom furniture to fit this unit because it's a specialized unit, and all the units are microinterms of being very small. this unit in terms of adaptive, in terms of having a murphy bed, using the walls and ceiling, getting as much space as i can. it's slowly becoming home for me. it is great that san francisco

has this program to address, let's say, the housing crisis that exists here in the bay area. it will slowly become home, and i am appreciative that it is a bright spot in an otherwise >> third thursdays at the commons is a monthly event series to really activate krisk centkrisk -- civic center, fulton mall, and other locations through

social operation. >> in 2016, an initiative called the civic center progress initiative was launched, it was launched by a bunch of city agencies and community partners, so they really had to figure out how to program these places on a more frequent basis. i'm with the civic center community benefit district, and i'm program manager for the civic center commons. also, third thursdays will have music. that was really important in the planning of these events. >> we wanted to have an artist that appeals to a wide range of tastes. >> i'm the venue manager. good music, good music systems, and real bands with guitar players and drummers. >> we turned uc center and

fulton street into a place where people want to be to meet, to laugh, and it's just an amazing place to be. there's a number of different exhibits. there's food, wine, cocktails, and the idea, again, is to give people an opportunity to enjoy what really is, you know, one of the great civic faces in america. when you look from the polk street steps, and you look all the way down the plaza, down market street, daniel burns' design, this was meant to be this way. it's really special. >> the city approached us off the grid to provide food and beverages at the event as kind of the core anchor to encourage people who leave a reason to stay. >> it's really vibrant. it's

really great, just people walking around having a good time. >> this formula is great food, interesting music, and then, we wanted to have something a little more, so we partnered with noise pop, and they brought in some really fun games. we have skeeball, we also have roller skating lessons, and we've got a roller skating rink. >> if you're a passion jail skeeball player like me, and you're deciding whether you're just going to roll the ball up the middle or take a bank shot. >> our goal is to come out and have fun with their neighbors, but our goal is to really see in the comments that it's a place where people want to hold their own public event.

>> i think this is a perfect example of all these people working together. everybody's kind of come together to provide this support and services that they can to activate this area. >> there's no one agency or organization that really can make this space come alive on its own, and it's really through the collective will, not just of the public sector, but both the public and our business partnerships, our nonprofits partnerships, you know, neighborhood activists. >> i really like it. it's, like, a great way to get people to find out about local things, cuisine, like, it's really great. >> it's a really good environment, really welcoming. like, we're having a great time. >> we want to inspire other people to do this, just using a

part of the plaza, and it's also a good way to introduce people if they're having a large scale event or small scale event, we'll direct you to the right people at the commons so you can get your event planned. >> being a san francisco based company, it was really important to connect and engage with san franciscans. >> how great is it to come out from city hall and enjoy great music, and be able to enjoy a comtail, maybe throw a bocci ball or skee ball. i find third thursdays to be really

reinrig rat reinriggating for me. >> whether you're in the city hall or financial district or anywhere, just come on down on third thursdays and enjoy the music, enjoy an adult beverage, enjoy the skee ball; enjoy an adult playground, if you >> i moved into my wonderful, beautiful, affordable housing march 7th. i have lived in san francisco since i was two-years-old. i've lived in hunters view for 23 to 24 years now. my name is vlady.

i use titus and i am the resident commissioner for the san francisco housing facility. from the very beginning, this whole transition of public housing and affordable housing was a good idea. but many, many residents didn't think it would ever actually happen. it's been a life changing experience. and i'm truly grateful for the whole initiative and all those that work on the whole sf initiative. they've done a wonderful job accommodating the residents, who for many years have lived in delap tated housing. now they have quality housing. i was on a street where the living room and the kitchen and stairs. it wasn't large enough to

accommodate. the children are grown. i had the accomplish of having a dishwasher in my home. i really like that. [laughter] i really like not having to wash dishes by hand. we still do it from time to time. the mayor's office has been a real friend to us, a partner. we know that our city supports us. i love san francisco. just to be able to stay in my community and continue to help the residents who live here and continue to see my neighborhoods move into new housing, it's been a real joy. it's been a real joy. >> hi. welcome to san

francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the

time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thing. >> there is no such thing. >> we are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. there is no relationship. i have heard it's hot or cold weather or rain. i'm not sure which is the myth. >> how about time of day?

>> yes. it happens when it's least convenient. when it happens people say we were lucky and when they don't. it's terrible timing. it's never a good time for an earthquake. >> but we are going to have one. >> how about the ground swallowing people into the ground? >> like the earth that collapsed? it's not like the tv shows. >> the earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but it's not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes.

>> it's not going anywhere. we are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. >> southern california is moving north. it's coming up from the south to the north. >> you would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. >> for better or worse. >> yes. >> this is a tough question. >> those other ones weren't tough. >> this is a really easy challenge. are the smaller ones less stress? >> yes. the amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many

of those. >> i think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4.7. >> so small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future? >> not anyway that you can count on. >> i have heard that buildings in san francisco are on rollers and isolated? >> it's not true. it's a conventional foundation like almost all the circumstances buildings in san francisco. >> the trans-america was built way before. it's a pretty conventional foundation design. >> i have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to

go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. is there anything of value to that ? >> yes, if you are in your room. you should drop, cover and hold onto something. if you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. if you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, it's not a bad place to be. >> the reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. you are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. you are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. >> you want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. >> where can i buy a richter scale? >> mr. richter is selling it.

we are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. they are not available. it's a rather complex. >> in fact we don't even use the richter scale anymore. we use a moment magnitude. the richter scale was early technology. >> probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. is that true ? >> loma prieta was different. the ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. so anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. >> we are planning for the

bigger earthquake closer to san francisco and a fault totally independent. >> much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. >> so people who were here in '89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isn't really the threshold of damage. when you triple it you cross that line. it's much more damage in earthquake. >> i want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for

>> this lodge is home to some of the best fly casting pools in the world. these shallow concrete pools don't have fish. this is just a place where people come to practice their fly casting technique. ith was built in the 1930's and ever since, people have been coming here to get back to nature. every year, the world championship of fly casting is held in san francisco and visitors from all over the globe travel to be here. >> we are here with phil, general manage of san francisco rec and parks department at the anglers lodge. what do you think about this? >> it is spectacular, travis from oregon, taught me a snake roll and a space cast. >> there are people from all

over the world come to san francisco and say this is the place to be. >> yeah. it's amazing, we have teams from all over the world here today and they are thrilled. >> i flew from ireland to be here. and been practicing since for the competition. all the best casters in the world come here. my fellow countryman came in first place and james is on the current team and he is the head man. >> it's unique. will not see anything like it where you go to compete in the world. competitions in ireland, scotland, norway, japan, russia each year, the facilities here in the park are second to none. there is no complex in the world that can touch it. >> i'm here with bob, and he has kindly agreed to tell me everything i need to know about casting. i'm going to suit up and next,

we're in the water. >> what any gentleman should do. golden gate angling has free lessons the second saturday of every month. we have equipment show up on the 9:30 on the second saturday of every month and we'll teach them to fly cast. >> ok. we are in the water. >> let me acquaint you with the fly rod. >> nice to meet you. >> this is the lower grip and the upper grip. this is a reel and a fly line. we are going to use the flex of this rod to fling away. exactly as you moved your hands. >> that's it? >> that's it. >> i'm a natural. >> push both arms forward and snap the lower hand into your tummy. push forward. >> i did gave it a try and had

great time but i might need some more practice. i met someone else with real fly casting skills. her name is donna and she is an international fly casting champion. >> i have competed in the casting ponds in golden gate park in san francisco. i have been to japan and norway for fly casting competition. i spend my weekends here at the club and at the casting pond. it's a great place to learn and have fun. on a season day like this, it was the perfect spot to be. i find fly casting very relaxing and also at the same time very challenging sport. takes me out into the nature. almost like drawing art in the air. and then i can make these beautiful loops out there.

>> even though people from across the globe come here to compete, it's still a place where locals in the know relax and enjoy some rely unique scenery. until next time, get out and play!

>> hi. my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's aelectricitied assessor. today, i want to share with you a property tax savings programs for families called proposition 58. prop 58 was passed in 1986 and it was helped parents pass on their lower property tax base to their children. so how does this work? under california's prop 13 law, the value we use to calculate your property tax is limited to 2% growth peryear. but when ownership changes, prop 13 requires that we reassess properties to market value. if parents want to pass on their home or other property to their children, it would be considered a change in ownership. assuming the market value of your property has gone up, your children, the new owners, would pay taxes starting at that new higher level. that's where prop 58 comes in. prop 58 recognizes the transfer between parents and children so that instead of taxing your

children at that new higher level, they get to keep your lower prop 13 value. remember, prop 58 only applies to transfers between parents and children. here's how the law twines an eligible child. a biological child, a step child, child adopted before the age of 18, and a son-in-law or daughter-in-law. to benefit from this tax saving program, remember, you just have to apply. download the prop 58 form from our website and submit it to our office. now you may ask, is there a cap how much you can pass on. well, first, your principal residence can be excluded. other than that, the total tap of properties that can use this exclusion cannot exceed $1 million. this means for example if you have two other properties, each valued at $500,000, you can exclude both because they both fit under the $1 million cap.

now what happens hwhen the totl value you want to pass on exceeds $1 million. let's say you have four properties. three with current taxable value of $300,000 and one at $200,000, totaling $1.1 million in value. assuming that you decide to pass on properties one, two, and three, we would apply the exclusions on a first come, first served basis. you would deduct properties one, two, and three, and you would still have $100,000 left to pass on. what happens when you pass on the last property? this property, house four, has been existing value of 2 -- has an existing value of $200,000, and its existing property value is actually higher, $700,000. as i said, the value left in your cap is $100,000. when we first figure out your portion, we figure out the portion that can be excluded. we do that by dividing the exclusion value over the assessed value.

in this case, it's 50%. this means 50% of the property will remain at its existing value. meanwhile, the rest will be reassessed at market value. so the new taxable value for this property will be 50% of the existing value, which is 200,000, equaling 100,000, plus the portion reassessed to market value, which is 50% times $700,000, in other words, 350,000, with a total coming out to $450,000. a similar program is also available for prepping transfers fl interest r from grandparents to grandchildren. if you're interested in learning more visit our website or. >> my name is jan an wong a
