personnel nor commissioners are required to respond to questions provided by the public but may provide a brief response. individual personnel should refrain from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during public comment. please limit your comments to two minutes. >> thank you. please, come forward. >> it even, commissioners. my name is mark and i am a homeowner and business owner in the historic dogpatch neighbourhood and a board member of the friends of dogpatch hub, a group of neighbours working to develop a community centre in dogpatch. once a sleepy postindustrial neighbourhood, but now the fastest growing residential neighbourhood in san francisco. we believe the long abandoned police station as an ideal location for that community centre and i'm here with some of my colleagues to solicit your supports. the police station is located at

2,303rd street just a few blocks from your new mission bay headquarters at the border of the dogpatch east -- historic district and pier 70 which is being redeveloped with a combination of commercial and residential buildings. there are two structures on the lot. the buildings were constructed in 1912 and 1913 and the site was used by the sfpd until 1998 when it was like he did 20 years ago. during the first decade of vacancy, the buildings remained in good condition. the second decade, however, has been a sad story. as abandoned buildings, they were broken into constantly, accurate -- occupied by homeless people, stripped by vandals and subjected to senseless vandalism including more than five building fires. the worst of which was a two alarm blaze in 2012 that left a gaping hole in the roof. as a result, the buildings have been ravaged by weather and the basement is permanently filled with water. this is a blighted property inching ever closer to being irreparable. in 2001, there was a transfer to the record department that was

attempted but not completed. ownership of the building has faded from memory stick according to records, everyone thought the buildings belong to someone else. in march of 2012, they issued a resolution to release the property to the real estate department. in 2013, they came to the dogpatch neighborhood association meeting to solicit ideas from the neighborhood residents about the best use of the property. the community supported public serving or commercial -- commercial use in hopes of saving and activating the site. proposed r.f.p. was forgotten. >> thank you, very much. >> it even, commissioners. i am a board member of friends of the dogpatch. i'm here to speak about how and why we started these community led efforts to save the police station. by the winter of 2016, we decided the best way to save the building and to serve the neighborhood was to work with the city to convert the site into a community center. at the board of supervisors land

use and transportation committee surplus property report hearing in may, 2016, we submitted letters requesting that the city reuse the buildings for much-needed community purposes rather than simply selling them off. we organize the friends of the dogpatch hub and we are funded by the dogpatch neighborhood association to incorporate as a nonprofit public charity. in april, 2017, we convened the meeting to call attention to the site and brainstorm how to stem the neglect and bring the building back to a public serving used use. since that meeting, the director of city planning and supervisor cohen and staff members on the office of economic and workforce development, and community stakeholders including members of the dogpatch neighborhood association, the small business commissioner, and two key developers operating in our neighborhood,. the consensus was that due to the extremely poor condition, the historic status and small lot size, the buildings are too heavily encumbered to sell or lease easily.

after a walk-through with architectural and building professionals, it was determined a minimum of $10 million was required for a bare-bones adaptive reuse. with this information, we created a formal proposal for the building. in may of 2017, we secured a leadership grant of $4.2 million from ucsf. we further secured an additional commitment of $2.5 million from pier 70 and the port of san francisco. has a site was still wide open and vulnerable, we requested funds from supervisor cohen and that resulted any in a $250,000 fund to protect the building. the department of public works use these funds to secure, paint and fence the property. we will tell you about our plans for the future. thank you. >> greetings. my name is catherine. i am the board chair of the friends of the dogpatch hub. i'm here to speak about your latest efforts -- our latest

efforts to transform the old police station into a community center. in the summer of 2017, oewd invested funds to conduct an naa , called a neighborhood activation asset process. the probable outcome for the public buildings as an r.f.p. for the site. to prepare for the anticipated r.f.p., we hired architecture partners and race $45,000 for predevelopment costs and began the design of these schematics. data from our online community survey, with over 250,000 responses plus public outreach meetings drove programming plans to best serve a growing population and neighborhood -- in a neighborhood undergoing massive change. the population is on track to triple by 2020 and triple again to over 18,000 people by 2030. the idea of a community center is not just to save these buildings but it is equally

fuelled by the fact that the dogpatch has not one public serving facility despite nonstop development. as part of the n.a.a. process, sfpd was contacted about the buildings. in march of 2018, chief scott sent a letter to the city stating the police were considering use for the station. this was a conclusion of the n.a.a. process. on may 1st, 2018, the friends of the dogpatch board met with chief scott and were joined by oewd, the board of supervisors, melia cohen and staff and our architects. chief scott said that the site would be used for office space. we discussed our efforts to build a community center there on behalf of the neighborhood as well as the possibility of working together. however, at that time, sfpd did not have a feasibility study prepared. chief scott promised a final decision and a plan on how they would reuse, roll out or not, by the end of 2018.

in the meantime, friends of the dogpatch is sharing with city commissions what we have learned would be required to adaptively reuse the buildings. >> thank you. >> thank you. thank you, very much. any further public comment? ms. miss brown? >> it even, everyone. i would like to use the overhead again, i am here talking about my sun who was murdered august 14th, 2006. he was shot 30 times with a semiautomatic gun. as his mother, i have been for the last 12 years, fighting for justice for my sun. still no justice for my sun. the last time i was here, i asked for my investigator to

>> san francisco fleet week, starting in 2010, began on a mission of taking advantage of the assets that come up during fleet week for the celebrations to partner up with city of san francisco and practice emergency response preparation programs, and it's a very sophisticated program. it's been going on since 2010 with some great results. san francisco, during the time that i've been working on fleet week in 2010 has been very lucky to have mayors that are really tuned into the needs of the community and the needs of the first responders professionals. and mayor lee was especially good with that, and we're not missing a beat with mayor london breed, and i'm so happy to have her here, and she's going to talk about fleet week, and

welcome, everybody. mayor breed? [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you. it is so great to be here to kick off fleet week in the city and county of san francisco. and i'd like to welcome all the men and women who serve our country in the navy, in the coast guard, in the air force. it means a lot to have you here and to welcome you here to san francisco. this week, i truly look forward to seeing the blue angels. this is a time honored tradition in the city and county of san francisco, and i've got to tell you, i went to galileo high school, and so sometimes we would be really late to class waiting for the blue angels to fly over our high school and the football field. people look forward to this time of year every single year. people come from not just all over the bay area, they come

from all over the united states just to see the parade of ships, to see the blue angels, to show appreciation to the people who serve our country time and time again. we know that former mayor dianne feinstein and current u.s. senator started this tradition in san francisco many, many years ago. and so we in san francisco have taken the opportunity to take advantage of the fact that you are all here, and we know that disaster can strike at any given time, and so it is important that we use this as also an opportunity to get prepared for any emergency. san francisco is earthquake country, but an emergency, a situation can happen at any given time. in fact, we are right now pushing to rebuild our seawall so that we can be prepared for when the next earthquake comes to protect or city. and so with that, we are putting

out a call to people in san francisco to make sure that we are prepared, to make sure that we are looking out for one another, and preparing at least three days of supplies just in case. and also, an important thing is to get to know your neighbors because we have a lot of seniors who live in our community, people who are disabled, and we are going to be counting on one another in order to basically get the job done. the final thing i want to just talk about is basically how the -- i know that the director of the department of emergency management will be going into specifics about what we can do, but this is a great day for san francisco, an incredible opportunity for us to come together, an incredible opportunity for all of you visiting san francisco for the first time to enjoy our city. we have some of the most amazing food anywhere. you can't go wrong with any

restaurant here in the city and county of san francisco. i'd also like to take this opportunity to thank the men and women of our fire department, the police department, sheriff's department, all of our public safety officials who work hard on the ground in san francisco every day to keep us safe. you all are amazing people because you have chosen the career of public service in order to do what is best, not just for the city and county of san francisco but for our entire country, and we honor you today, and we welcome you to san francisco. thank you all so much for being here. [applause] >> thank you, mayor breed. as i had mentioned earlier, san francisco department of emergency management is a very close partner to san francisco fleet week association, and fleet week, it's called fleet week, but really, all

year-round, the men and women at the department of emergency management are working with their counterparts at the navy, at fema, the state office of emergency services to plan for the next fleet week, and they're going through tabletop exercises and emergencying what scenario needs to rehearsed next and start working on that. and we have the executive director of the san francisco department of emergency management, mary ellen carroll here. mary ellen? [applause] >> good morning. welcome to san francisco. we're so happy and proud to have you here during fleet week. i was so fortunate yesterday to have the opportunity to sail in with many of the service men and women from the navy and the marines. it was an absolutely perfect -- picture perfect day in san

francisco. so proud, and we hope everyone has a wonderful week while you're here. this is -- we learned yesterday, and as we'll see all week, there are so many incredible capabilities that our service men and women and organizations bring to san francisco that we will need in the event of a catastrophic earthquake or other emergency. and it is so important we are talking, practicing, getting to know each other, working out the lod logistics out here. this is not something that's easily doable in a moment without having practiced. i'm thrilled to be able to lean in this week during fleet week, and i want to talk a little bit about the folks that execute it from my team. so emergency management is thinking through and handling the details of a very complicated situation, whatever that might be. the field draws many talented

and committed people, and these people are dedicated to public service and really helping people when they are at their moment of greatest need. it is also a field that is becoming more and more diversefied which i think is great. today's exercise and much of the exercises this week are led by three women. so jill raycroft, diana bartrum, and artie mood are the three women that led the exercise today. [applause] >> and of course, they were supported by many men and women around logistics, planning, and public -- if you belie public affairs. so i want to thank everybody who's here today, and particularly, the exercise team which is not just emergency management but includes representatives from the

departments across the city, and we thank you for your meaningful contributions to the safety, security and resilience of san francisco. thank you, and have a great week. [applaus [applause] >> okay. our next speaker, i met him in 2010, my first fleet week. he was the executive officer of the u.s.s. macon island. to prove if you go to fleet week, you get promotions. he's now the commander of expeditionary strike group three, admiral cedric pringle. >> good morning. well, this is very much like a home coming for me. i actually did my first san

francisco fleet week back in 1988 as a young ensign, so being back in this capacity, being in charge of the navy's largest strike group is a blessing. ladies and gentlemen, good morning. i'm rear admiral cedric pringle. on behalf of commander john alexander, u.s. third fleet, i extend my warmest welcome to you. for 37 years, the city of san francisco has hosted this celebration of the sea services so showcase our people, ships and equipments. i'm grateful for the unmatched display of hospitality, friendship and support that you show to sea services every single day. this week, the navy is represented by the crews of the u.s.s. manchester, which is en route. we also have my staff, the staff

of expeditionary strike group three and our naval support elements. united states marine corps are represented by the marines of u.s. logistics group three. we are working closely with the u.s. coast guard as well as the army corps of engineers. lastly, our crews up north are represented by the canadian cutter h.m.c. vancouver. we appreciate this opportunity to demonstrate our abilities between the sea services community and the local and state first responders. yesterday, i had the opportunity to host some of the first responders on my ship. when we transited into port, and it was great. i had joanne hayes-white on

board, peter marsh from the san francisco police department. i had the chief of the deputy, ken ferrigno on board, and we had a great time. it was not only a great opportunity for me to show off the navy's first responders, because that's essentially what we are. our ships with always ready to go. i always have a ship on hand ready to respond to any type of catastrophic years of service. in my 37 years of service, i think god has got my back because i've survived hurricane operations to being in haiti as a joint task force commander, so i think he's trying to teach me something. i just don't know exactly what it is, but i will tell you that

the san francisco senior leadership seminar and where this fleet week is in preparing for the disaster response is light years beyond just about any other city, any other community, for being able to work through the interoperablity, being able to work through the commander control challenges and logistics challenges. we're certainly the model that a lot of other cities will follow. so thank you. certainly looking forward to sharing this week with you, as you see our sailors and marines that are walking the streets of san francisco, please make sure that you give them a smile and say thank you, and i toell you, they will certainly do the same, as well. so thank you, and may god bless you. [applause] >> thank you, admiral pringle. our next speaker represents the

local military for san francisco, the san francisco bay. his first fleet week, i believe, is rear admiral peter gotier, u.s. coast guard district 11. admiral? [applause] >> well, good morning, everyone. it is an absolute thrill for the coast guard to be participating in the fleet week activities again this year. you know, actually, this is also a home coming for me, as well. i was stationed here as a much more junior officer in the 1990's as the chief of port operations for safety avenues marines san francisco bay. i really enjoyed the hospitalities of fleet week back then as we are going to this week. mayor breed, thank you for hosting this wonderful event here in san francisco. it's really a fantastic opportunity to strengthen the ties between the san francisco bay community and the sea

services that serve this community: the navy, the marine corps, the u.s. coast guard and our international partners. and for the coast guard, we really are members of the community here. their over 4,000 coast guard men and women who live and serve in the greater san francisco bay community. as members of a branch of the u.s. military, as a humanitaran service that responds to disasters not only here in california but nationwide. we are an environmental agency that protects the environment by preventing and responding to oil spills and hazardous materials incidents on our pristine waters. we ensure the economic security of this region by making sure that our port facilities and the ships that call on them every day are safe and secure, that our water ways are well marked,

and that our water ways allow for the free transport of shipping in and out of the bay area and across california. and we're a law enforcement agency that does everything from keeping private boaters safe on a day-to-day basis to interdicting drugs off the shores of the u.s. we're also the members of this kmupt. we're volunteers, we participate in the same organizations that you do. we have kmirn that go to the same schools and the -- children that go to the same schools and the same child care centers that you do, and together, we work to make sure our communities are better every single day. the coast guard is really going to benefit from that, as we do every single year. we want to make sure that we sharpen our skills, that we increase our proficiency, that

we make sure we're prepared more than ever to respond to a disaster here in the san francisco bay area, but most of all we want to strengthen our relationships with the public safety community, with the other agencies, federal state, and local agencies with the government, nongovernmental organizations, and the volunteers and everyone, so that we can make sure that we're more ready than ever if something and when something happens here to be able to serve the people of san francisco. the coast guard is going to be very busy out on the water to make sure that people have fun, that you enjoy the pleasure boating, the blue angels air show, the parade of ships and the other activities that are going to be here. together with our other public safety organizations in the maritime, we want to make sure that you're safe. we ask that everybody wear your

life jackets, there are a few areas that are going to be closed to boating activity. again, also, if you see coasties and other military members walking on the streets and visiting the restaurants and enjoying themselves, it's a great opportunity for this community to meet them and get to know them a little bit better. thanks for your hospitality in advance, and we really appreciate being part of this event. [applause] >> i'm really pleased that the next speaker is here today. for those of you that have gone down to the waterfront and toured the ships over the last few years, you'll always see there is a canadian ship -- royal canadian navy ship in port, open for tours.

it's my pleasure to introduce a very good friend of the city, consul general ronna sacor. >> thank you very much. it's a tremendous pleasure to be here on behalf of canada. this is my second fleet week, and one of the most extraordinary things that you get as having the great pleasure to be here as the consul general is to see the community come together in the way that they do, in the size and scale and the impressiveness. for us, it's an absolute pleasure to be here, not just to be part of the kick off, but also part of all of the festivities. as your neighbor to the north and the only foreign country that is able to participate in fleet week, canada has a unique

role in this, and it underscores. canada and the u.s. enjoy incredible defense relationship, serving shoulder to shoulder and did he fending our values and freedoms -- defending our values and freedoms. as you know, just yesterday, last night, in fact, one of my other sort of roles for the government of canada is i serve on the nafta advisory committee, and we've now concluded

negotiations. we are, by far, one of the greatest economic partnerships in the world, so that gets to continue. but if i can draw one further attention to an announcement this year, is that this is the 60th anniversary of norad, which is the north american aerospace defenses and command, which is an arrangement that the presidents and prime ministers speaks. as prime minister trudeau said recently, norad reminds us all to thank the men and women in uniform who work together to protect the safety and security of both countries. canada's participation in fleet week reflects our relationship

as a whole. we are deeply integrated in the nature of our defense alliance, and more fundamentally, the spoord partnership and friendship that our alliance represents. with this in mind, canada's proud once again to participate in fleet week with the hmcs vancouver to showcase the enduring bonds of friendship. thank you very much. [applause] >> okay. thank you. thank you to all of our speakers. i can't let us go without acknowledging the gentleman who got me into fleet week, and it was the vision behind fleet week and what we have today, and he's sitting in the front row, the chairman of the san francisco freet week association, retired -- fleet week association, retired major general mike maya. mike thank you for all you've

done. and elaine, thank you for hosting all of this today. mayor breed, thank you for coming out. we'll be around to answer questions if anybody has, but otherwise, this press conference is over. thank you very much. >> i came to san francisco in 1969. i fell in love with this city and and this is where i raised my family at. my name is bobbie cochran. i've been a holly court resident

for 32 years. i wouldn't give up this neighborhood for nothing. i moved into this apartment one year ago. my favorite thing is my kitchen. i love these clean walls. before the remodeling came along, the condition of these apartments had gotten pretty bad, you know, with all the mildew, the repairs. i mean you haven't seen the apartment for the program come along. you wouldn't have believed it. so i appreciate everything they did. i was here at one point. i was. because i didn't know what the outcome of holly court was going to be. you know, it really got -- was it going to get to the point where we have to be displaced because they would have to demolish this place? if they had, we wouldn't have

been brought back. we wouldn't have been able to live in burn. by the program coming along, i welcome it. they had to hire a company and they came in and cleaned up all the walls. they didn't paint the whole apartment, they just cleaned up the mildew part, cleaned up and straighted it and primed it. that is impressive. i was a house painter. i used to go and paint other people's apartments and then come back home to mine and i would say why couldn't i live in a place like that. and now i do. hello, everyone. welcome to kelly cullen community.

i'm an assistant manager here. we have a general manager and another assistant manager. kelly cullen community is located at golden gate and we are formally the ymca. we provide 172 efficiency studio units for chronically homeless people. we're glad to do so. we also have a health clinic downstairs, social workers on site, and also nurses. we thank you all for coming out. now we'd like to just welcome senator wiener. >> thank you, i want to thank the community for hosting us here today. this is an amazing facility and amazing. this is a fantastic example of what san francisco is about. it's about helping our most vulnerable residents. helping people succeed and be

housed and healthy. that is what the city of saint francis is about. i'm so proud to be a san francisco an and to represent this great city and the state senate. so, i first want to thank governor jerry brown, for signing senate bill 1045 into law. this bill is a significant step forward in taking a new approach to the epidemic of mental illness and severe drug addiction we see playing out on our streets every day. not just in san francisco but cities throughout this state. this is not progressive to sit by while people unravel and die on our streets. to be clear, we are not talking about most homeless people. large majority of homeless people are not what this bill is about. this is about a small percentage

of chronic homeless people, who are incapable of making decisions for themselves due to severe mental health and drug addiction issues. who are incapable of accepting services. we need to help these people and we need to stop just letting people unravel and die on our streets. the city of san francisco and other cities have told us, is that the current conservativeship laws in california, are not meeting the meets, particularly of people with severe drug addiction. people who are cycling in and out of the psyche of emergency room and they're backout on the streets unraveling more and more. we need to help get these people into housing, into services, get people stable and healthy and do everything we can to get their lives on track and that is what senate bill 1045 is about.

this is not about mass institutionalization. this is about really focusing on relatively limited number of people who are dying on our streets and helping to get them stable and into housing. i want to thank my colleague, assemblyman chiu for supporting this bill. i want to thank the city of san francisco, particularly mayor breed and supervisor mandelman. they have just been champions for this bill. they actually came up to sacramento to testify in committee in favor of the bill. they're that committed to it. and i know that they will work hard to implement it. this is not the end of the road. this is going to be a long-term state-local partnership where we will work together to make sure that san francisco has the tools and resources that it needs to help our most vulnerable residents survive and thrive. so with that, it's my honor to

bring up our great maryland mayn breed. >> the hon. london breed: thank you so much for your leadership. trying to address what we know ar major challenges, throughout our city, with people who struggle with mental illness. it's something that is going to require leadership from both local and state officials and senator scott wiener and david chiu have been moving forward incredible policies that will help us implement the things that will be important to addressing these issues. i want to thank governor jerry brown for signing sb1045. i probably harassed him every single day until it was done. we didn't get the safe injection site bill signed but we are not going to give up hope. there's still work to be done in that effort. but this is a great first step.

what wore doing here in san francisco is, we are working to begin the process of passing legislation, through the board of supervisors, so that we can implement this law right here in san francisco. i've already given directions to the department of aging and adult services. our human service agency and the department of public-health to begin working with the public defender, the district attorney office as well as the superior court so that we develop the right legislations here in san francisco to move it forward so we can implement this policy. i want to thank supervisor rafael mandelman for being a supporter and champion in this effort. we know there are challenges. many of you know, today we announced we will be opening another 1,000 new shelter beds here in san francisco by the end of 2020. that is important.

we have to build housing and no we're not building housing fast enough. we also need places for people to go because clearly, sleeping on the streets is not a humane situation right now here in our city. part of moving forward with providing more shelter beds also means making sure that we have more mental health stabilization beds for people as we move them through this system for the purposes of trying to get them conserved so they can live healthy and productive lives. this is not just trying to -- we're not just trying to force someone into a situation. this is about helping people get healthy and stabilized. we all know what is happening here on our streets is unacceptable. currently, we're using our hospitals and our jails to cycle people with mental illness in

and out of the hospitals, in and out of the jail systems and they are not getting healthy. they are not getting better. we need new solutions. we need bold leadership to move forward with the kinds of solutions that are going to be effective and deliver what we need. our next steps are to pass legislation. our next steps are to fund an open new mental health stabilization bed. our next step are to continue to work collaboratively in order to deliver what we know will make the difference on our streets. shelter beds, mental health stabilization beds, building housing, provided supportive services for people we know that are struggling here in our city and dealing with the inequality gap that we know continues to persist, not only in san francisco but throughout the country. we are making -- this is a great, great step and i remember back in late january, early february, where we were at

community housing partnership building the richardson apartments, which i absolutely love, 120 units of supportive housing for people who were normally homeless and struggle with mental illness. the perfect example of a place that we have in san francisco to help address many of these challenges and we have to open more places like that. more supportive services that are going to help us get people who are chronically mentally ill and suffering from homelessness off the streets into a safe environment and healthy. so that all of us in san francisco are thriving and no one is left behind. i want to thank each and everyone of you for being here today. i'd like to introduce someone who is also been a champion in the assembly with so many incredible pushes for legislation, including making sure we build more housing and the state helps us in that

effort. ladies and gentlemen, assembly member david chiu. >> thank you, very much. good morning. let me first start by thanking mayor breed for your bold and innovative leadership as we move forward in dealing with the intensity of the crisis that we've all experienced in recent years. today is a good day for san francisco. today is a good day for the city of saint francis. i want to thank so many folks responsible for moving sb1045 but of course the team behind me. starting with my colleague, who is both a physical and a figurative giant when it comes to moving forward important and bold things, like this bill. a couple months ago, the team behind me came to the assembly judiciary committee i serve on. we explained that san francisco needs this. first, because people are dying on our streets. it is not humane to allow folks

to die in the streets when we can do something in the city of saint francis. we know there are things we can do. there are services we can provide. there are roofs we can build. that's why this is so incredibly important. and one thing i also said to my colleagues, as they were looking at all of us as sa san franciscs is we represent the diversity. not just how we look but we represent diversity of views who all believe the same thing. that we have to saves the lives of folks dying on our streets. we also know that with sb1045, we're going to make a good step forward. it is not the last step. we need so many new things. this is why mayor breed's announcement around a thousand shelter beds so incredibly exciting. i want to thank governor brown and our colleagues, not just for signing this bill, but for signing my bill that will create streamlining to build supportive housing in the state of california. gill gillman from community

housing partnership, we've worked together in moving forward project for formerly homeless individuals that took years when they should have been entitled within months. our bill will make sure we get more done. if voters have their way in november, we'll have, with propositions 1 and 2, another $6 billion of funding coming from the state to build affordable housing and supportive housing for chronically homeless folks. we can do it. this is the city of saint francis and i'm proud to be part of this. with that, it is my honor to introduce the newest memberrest board of supervisors but someone who for his entire life has been fighting to make sure we're addressing the challenges. rah y'alrafael mandelman, come . >> thank you. good morning, everybody. i want to start by thanking senator wiener, again, for your incredible work on this important piece of legislation at a time when the federal have

left cities like san francisco to fend for ourselves in the face of a terrible homeless crisis. we're so lucky to have senators like senator wiener and assemblyman chiu. i also really want to thank mayor breed, for your commitment to implement sb105 so we have every tool possible in our toolbox. every san francisco an has had the experience of walking out our doors and seeing people who are clearly sick and unable to take care of themselves. as compassionate as san franciscans may be, it's not the job of neighbors to take care of people struggling from mental illness and substance abuse. it's the job of the government to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. sb1045 is not a panacea, it won't solve all problems. it shows the commitment of the city, of our legislative delegation in sacramento and us here in san francisco to make

sure that sick and vulnerable people get the care that they need. we are just starting the local conversations. those who are skeptical about this legislation will be heard. there is going to be a robust process that engages providers and advocates but i think we can all agree that the status quo is not acceptable and that we need to get sick people off of our streets. we're going to have a conversation about assisted out patient treatment but at the end the day we ned inform move people off the streets and indoors. i also want to extend my great thanks to mayor breed, for recognizing that we need to invest more in shelter beds, more off ramping for people who are homeless. no one should be living on our streets and no one should have to live on our streets and i know and i'm so grateful that mayor breed shares that tremendous commitment. i'm looking forward to doing this work with the folks behind me and the folks out here. i think we're going to make some real progress and we are going to show that san francisco is the city that knows how.

with that, i would like to invite our next speaker, the c.e.o. of community housing partnership. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor. before i start i also want to thank senator wiener and mayor breed, who earlier in the year announced we were advancing this measure. community housing partnerships mission is to help homeless people become self-sufficient. what we know is that as individuals spend more and more time on our streets, without stable housing their conditions worsen. their health conditions are more chronic. their mental illness and substance abuse is more chronic because it's harder and harder for them to seek services and treatment. this is one tool, this is one option, for a small group of people that can help really stabilize and change their lives. we also need treatment on demand. safe-injection sites, more shelter beds, and navigation cr

and supporting housing all things that mayor breed, senator wiener and assembly member chiu are championing for. we know with the right levels of support, homeless individuals can stabilize, rebuild their lives, peace by peace and many of them become thriving members of their community. they become activists, some of them are here today. they go back to work. they start rebuilding their lives. community housing partnership this year had 75 individuals exit supportive housing into the private market and become fully self-sufficient, opening the slots for people living on our streets and in shelters. community housing partnership believes that every tool should be available to help individuals that can't help themselves. it's our pleasure to be supportive of sb1045. thank you. >> senator wiener. >> i want to thank you for being here today. that concludes the press

conference and folks will be available for questions one-on-one. thank you, very much. >> 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 >> good morning. thank you, everyone, for coming to our first mayor's disaster council meeting of the year, the fiscal year, the first under the leadership of our new mayor, london breed. and the first for me as director of emergency -- department of emergency management. appreciate you all being here today. i'm going to call the meeting to order and i'm going to pass it on for opening remarks. >> thank you. and t
