their properties or redeveloping their properties. >> so this doesn't replace a historic analysis property by property. >> well, it could. >> if something came in at level a? >> if something came in at level a, we would still need to do that analysis. if we identified the property was a resource and given a category a and if someone want to defollowish or do something to that property, they would have to go through -- they would still have to go through the california environmental quality act review to ensure they weren't impacting that property or to document how they were impacting that property. if the survey had been done on a proactive basis and we had all of this map shaded in instead of only 20% of it, and the majority in the properties have been found not to be, that step of

analyzing whether or not something is a historic resource is when someone comes in with a building permit or development application, we would not have to -- we i don't no longer have twewe would no longer have todo. we found it not to be a resource, we no longer have to ask that question at the beginning of the process. >> if it came in at a category c? >> correct. >> but there's a lot that come in at category b, which is undetermined. >> ideally, we're not going to find things to be category d. or undetermined. it's to move away from category b and end up with as or cs. >> the only reason i ask is two weeks ago i got a call from a perspective and they said well, we have category level b and i was like, oh, well how many of the properties that you surveyed

fall into that category -- >> nothing that has been surveyed -- it just means unknown. b means unknown and c means we know it's not a historic resource. >> it's in your map area. that's why i'm asking. is the n.c.d.s surveyed? >> the n.c.d.s have been surveyed but the results have not been adopted yet. so those statuses in our parcel information map have not changed. so there still be bs in that. because the survey hasn't been adopted. when the survey is actually adopted and formalized, then we change the status codes. so adoption means that we've taken it, we've done the analysis and we've presented it to the historic preservation commission. >> so your n.c.d.s have not been adopted yet? >> correct. >> all the other shaded areas have been. >> correct. >> got it. >> so i don't want to over state that there's never going to be a category b b in this shaded are.

because it's the case there will be category bs wa because propertying may not be aiming al edge able. we'rageeligible. >> if someone is potentially thinking about buying a property or developing a property or preserving a property, you all, in theory, have done a significant amount of work. it just so happens that this parcel was in an n.c.d. and you haven't adopted it yet. >> got it. >> so then, all my questions are answers. at the end, when you survey the city and adopted them, it will help to inform the process that much better? >> correct. >> because now, as i understand it, the planning department has a new program where you can come in and submit and do the consultation and within 60 days, they will let you know what

category or area that the particular parcel -- >> you are referring to our historic resource assessment process program. which is new. we're piloting it this year. it's an advance of a property owner can voluntarily apply for that process. essentially it is a property-by-property survey and it was infende intended to fillp before the survey can get to these. >> my last question before supervisor mandelman, what willl you adopt the surveys on the n.c.d.s? did you already talk about that too? >> well, i'm not 100% on the timeline for that. i think we are looking at probably moving forward with those maybe as part of each phase as it sort of --

>> can i make one suggestion. this is an important part, this is just my opinion as it relates to home s.f. we not couraged people to -- and often times a lot of actual opportunities for greater density and development happened to be on the commercial corridors whether they're an exiting property oexisting prop. if someone is interested in taking part in that process, it actually helps them to know what category the properties are under. so, i don't know if that's a planning department or simply your historic preservation commission but it certainly would be helpful because then people go in with the level of certainty to know whether or not they want to potentially participate in this program or not. it can affect the purchase and sale process, it can affect the whole development. again, we want to preserve and we want to protect the buildings

that are historic resources. the ones that are not, we want -- there's an inter play between the home s.f. program and some of these additional density and affordable programs and this particular survey. it absolutely is helpful. i came across this recently in the last month. >> i appreciate that comment. certainly we could consider the n.c.d.s of the separate phase or making that more of a priority to get that one adopt adopted. >> i know this is his baby for lack of a better word. i just think it's important, if we're having the conversation about additional housing and additional affordable housing and incentivizing if this can help to inform that process as along with preservation at the

same time. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you for actually teasing out the n.c.d. question. if the survey has been done, i see know reason they shouldn't be adopted. it's like, you know, any time there's a survey that is been done, it should be adopted. i would get that phase out of the way now. i mean, that need not be a part of this entire process. i know supervisor mandelman wants to speak. >> i'm sorry, one more question. i hope i'm not slowing you down. just to supervisor pose tin's ps point. what about finalizing the adoption of that? >> well, the field work has been done for it so like we've looked at each property. we haven't -- so it's part of our legacy data that still needs to be sort of looked at and based on our current methodolo

methodology, and final evaluations, still need to be made. it's also a staffing issue. how we focus our time. >> i would just end, if you've done the majority of the work and there's additional work and we're going to approve in this process, which i know we are, i think we're all going to be highlighting additional staff and work that you would prioritize that first and that work has been done and get it off of your plate. i'll send with that. >> >> supervisor mandelman: i totally agree and i was happy it was on supervisor's safai. >> >> supervisor mandelman: i wanted to thank kate black for her great work for the city. and also, to just concur with the supervisors on this committee who see this as an important priority as i think about the increasing -- the up

zoning happening in san francisco either as directed by the state or as we decide and look for additional places where we have development capacity, there's development pressure throughout the city and i think it is all the more important that we very quickly identify what is important to us and what we don't want to see lost as the new san francisco gets built. for me, this is also a high priority and i would hope that we can move it along closer to the two and a half-year rather than some of the longer time periods. i wanted to and by and say that and thank you all for your great work. >> very much appreciate you coming, supervisor, mandelman. let's open up this for public comment. mr. wright. >> top class demonstration. i made it clear what class of people that advocate for the

most vulnerable people in the city. s.f. viewers, please, out of all the demonstrations that i've seen, everything is top class. this is the one that strikes me the most pertaining to support, new housing and development. i want to get the future representatives to look at building all these brand new apartments where you keep the amount of money that you spend on these apartment building complex at a minimum and by the same response, get the maximum performance and output of your building. i would like to get the standards set for any apartment building complex that is being built is to use this standard being used in mountain view. this is 144-unit apartment building complex that's being built for $56 million. that's the best bang that you can get for your buck. i was talking to supervisor walton about this and the

projects that he is been working on and they're charging $180,000 per unit. you multiply that by the 144 and subject the difference and you save $66 million. you can confirm that with him when talking to him. this demonstration is just flows. and, san mateo county, there's another public building complex being built for $57 million. by the same response, my idea of the money that's getting of the budget of $8.5 million and the $500 million that was handed down for homeless only, you can build nine of these apartment building complexes and make a 27-storey apartment building complex. here is a 68-unit apartment building complex. you could stack those up 27-storeys and take a big chunk out of the housing of the homeless. >> thank you, mr. wright.

are there any other members of the public here to speak on this item number 5? the historic preservation survey. >> sir, if you speak into the mic. >> the reservations of the complexes, the value in total should be very less than what we are anticipating and purchasing or allowing financial means to utilize. now, again, we are trying to establish a new criteria into destroying the system which we're in the process. the important thing is what i like to initiate is that in this part of neighborhoods, are there going to be vocational training processing, meaning did you get trained for vocational training? we're going to have a lot of

employment to provide these stability of financial interests so they can pay and provide insurance for the room. now, the thing is we have spent much money, billions and trillions of dollars on advancements we should know better. so the cost of the development of $61 billion is unacceptable. it reduces the cost of $66 million. unacceptable. the indication is we must review and allow the inspectors to allow what needs to be renovated and what is going to be the least cost of each property, including the foundation. they look like historic locations and in that sense we must establish the appropriate means to secure and stabilize our financial institutions and you are essentially using your

negligence to provide proposals where there's no better investment. there's developments going on in san francisco and we're working on it because something happened. you need to get the right inspectors inside. if you failed to do so, there's no need to have you in government business. >> thank you, sir. seeing no other members of the public for public comment, public comment is closed. i think everything that has been said should be said has been said. again, i want to thank the commission for having the fortitude to come and say what should have been said years ago and thank staff for preparing that at the commission's request. and i was really happy to hear from my colleagues of their interest. hopefully we can get this right in the 19-20 budget, which will be before us in the months ahead. with that, i will ask that the item be filed and this meeting is adjourned.

is the mayor's office. when my number was called, i was excited because my number was number three. to rent a home in san francisco means that i'm able to be with my family to support me, me to support them. then, the opportunity for my daughter to get a good paying job. my favorite thing of my new home in hunters view is the view of the bay bridge, oakland, and a piece of the golden gate. it's peaceful and quiet, and they have a lot of activities for families. they have art class, where you can paint, they have trips, where they take the children. we went to a black art museum, we went to a jazz festival, we went ice skating. there's a lot -- they have a lot of activities up here, and that's one thing that i really love about it, i love my

bedroom. it's peaceful, it's quiet, where i can think, play, and just have my quiet time. i love my bedroom. this is my home because this is where i live. me and my children, we love in here, we -- just being with my grand kids and loving somewhere and having somewhere is home. we love being together, and your heart -- wherever your heart is, that makes it home for you. . >> good morning everybody on this beautiful tuesday in the city and county of san francisco. i am so excited to be here. today we are proposing to remove barriers that prevent employment for thousands of san francisco

for some people a speeding ticket or parking ticket are annoandannoyances. for others they can be a major financial set back. in 2015, a report showed in cities and counties across the nation, thousands of people were struggling to pay their traffic tickets and court fines and fees. i have first-hand experiences how the fines can force someone to decide between paying their car to get out of tow or issues of that nature and paying rent. in san francisco before december of 2015, if someone could not pay the traffic fines, their driver's license were suspended. imagine already struggling to pay your bills, then you receive a notice in the mail your

driver's license was suspended. not only can you not drive legally, but more and more companies now require a driver's license specifically for employment. in fact, studies show that people who have their driver's license suspended, almost half will lose their jobs in a year. this is not equitable. i am grateful that supervisor walton is here with us today. sadly, we knew in bayview-hunters point they have three times the average of the number of driver's licenses that have been suspended statewide. that is why san francisco was the first in the nation to stop suspended driver's licenses for failure to pay fines. [applause.] over two years ago, we were the first to top suspended driver's

licenses for failure to appeer in traffic court. after we discovered the biggest reason people do not show up for traffic court date is because they cannot afford to pay the fees. people are also worried if they show up, they would be forced to give up their driver's license, and, sadly, some are afraid they might gee arrested. he on o get arrested. while we stopped the suspensions. we discovered 88,000 driver's licenses were still marked as suspended in the super-your court date take base. thousands of residents were unable to drive legally because they did not show up for traffic court date even though the super-your court no longer suspended licenses for this reason. when we looked into what it would take to lift those

previous suspensions, we were told that the superior court only needed $15,000. $15,000, which we provided. for $15,000, we could create a clean slate for everyone across our system. [applause.] it may seem like a small amount, but it is going to have a tremendous impact on so many people's lives. so today, thanks to the work of everyone here, i am proud to announce that all holds on driver's license for failure to apfear in traffic court have been lifted. [applause.] what is so great is that we are the first city in california, according to our research so far, the first city in the nation to do this. [applause.]

now, to be clear, if you have had your driver's license suspended because you were driving recklessly or you have holds from other counties, your driver's license will be suspended until you resolve those issues. if you are one of the thousands who could not afford the traffic convict and therefore did not show up for traffic court dates, you can take action to get your license back. we have flyers explaining how to call the dmv. how are you going to get through to the dmv? nevertheless, we have flyers explaining how to call the dmv to find out exactly what you need to do, and we will make sure that all of our city departments and websites have this information. while we need to have consequences and penalties for people who break the law, we do not want to do this in a way that makes it harder for people

to get a second chance. in san francisco, we know that we can hold people accountable without putting them into financial distress. whether by eliminating wasteful administrative fines and fees in our court systems which we did here in san francisco or getting rid of overdue library fees that prevent people from accessing our public records, or offering discounts for low income residents to pay their traffic fines. the announcement continues the commitment in this city to help lift people up. by taking this step, we are making it possible for thousands of people to get back to work, to grow our economy and create better lives for themselves and their families. i would like to thank everyone

including the financial justice project. [applause.] the office of our amazing treasure jose and so many who have worked on these issues for years, including many of the community groups who helped us to focus on the courts over the past several months, and members of the san francisco fines and fees task force that led the research on starting this effort. now our next speaker is someone who has dedicated her career to fighting for the legal rights of low income residents and working on a more equitable and financial justice policy. please join me in welcoming elisa from lawyers committee

from civil rights. thank you. [applause.] thank you, mayor breed. it is wonderful to be in san francisco, which is a leader on common sense policies to increase public safety and benefit and protect our lowest income residents. as many of you know, traffic tickets in california are expense expensive. we did a study that showed they were twice as much as places like new york. $500 for coming around a right hand turn for a red light. for many families that is out of reach. we have had person after person coming to us to say i can't afford $500. if i could have my driver's license i could keepny job, take kids to school and not risk arrest because if you drive on a suspended license, that is

incarceration. that is a criminal offense. this step that san francisco is taking is saying we don't want driver's license suspension to be a collection sledgehammer. we want it to be about public safety. we want those in san francisco and the bay area who drive here to be able to work. we want our residents to have fair and be common sense policies around driver's license suspension. san francisco is a leader in this. we call on other communities to follow san francisco's lead. 88,000 suspensions lifted. that means more people who can work. that means more people who can drive safely and legally. i will say one thing, if you go to the courthouse in san francisco and you are there right as the court clerk's office closes, then you have seen the person every day there is at least one person who took off of their work at risk to

their job, tried to get to the courthouse and was two minutes late after they shut the door. when you see that look on that person's face, when you know what they had to sacrifice to make that effort, you know it doesn't make sense to punish that person more than a person with money would be punished. you can mail in the pavement to avoid it. for low-wage workers and communities of color this is a punishment for being poor. congratulations to san francisco and all of the organizers who worked so long and hard to make this happen. we are grateful for san francisco as a leader. thank you. >> thank you to the lawyer's committee and all the work they continue to do. now, i would like to ask the supervisor from district 10 to provide a few remarks. [applause.] >> i am definitely going to be

brief. i am trying to get my voice back for a long time. this is true equity at work. so many times we fine people for infractions and the punishment is to increase the fine. the punishment for that is to increase the fine and take away the very things that allow you to be economically self-sufficient to put you in a place where you could possibly pay a fine. we have learned over the years that does not work. what does work is information and helping people learn how to be responsible so going back and retroactively eliminating the unnecessary fines that stifle folks who are trying to work hard to earn a living is the right thing to do. i just want to thank the treasure's office and everyone from the task force and

committees that continue to work on equitable opportunity for low north carolinas to make sure -- low income communities to make sure they are not punished. this is important. this l make a major impact. i want to thank mayor breed for standing up to lead the city toward these equitable policies in san francisco. >> thank you, supervisor walton. now, i would like to welcome the aclu of northern california. >> hello. i am the chief program officer of the aclu of northern california, but i have worked in civil rights and social justice for 20 years. i am the daughter of california and native of the bay area. i live here and raise my

children here because we are a community that believes in diversity and equity and inclusion in our society. i think we aspire for what martin luther king talked about as the beloved community. we aspire to create that community. we cannot do that if we punish people for being low income and poor. we live in a city, region, state and country with great resources and opportunities, the greatest. also, we have great and unanswered racial and economic inequities. as we invest in these wonderful programs, minimum wage and investment in education and training and wenvist in the folks left out of the prosperity of this golden state, we have to simultaneously route out and end these unjust practices and policies that drain financial

resources from these exact communities. if we don't, we are trying to build a house on quicksand. we neat to stop and look how equity plays into the work we do not just in building community but making a solid foundation. this is about economic and racial just tuesday. this is about civil rights and liberties, removing burdens that hold people back from jobs and education and from fully participating in the community. this is about moving closer to the dream of the beloved community. it is about smart on criminal justice. it is about bold leadership, and it is about time so thank you, mayor breed. thank you again everyone for being here. this is just bringing us one step closer to dealing with what we know are a number of

inequitable things that exist in san francisco that we need to address. i want to take this opportunity to acknowledge cheryl davis. director of human rights commission, who has already started work and research on how we can make sure that even be in the city and county of san francisco within our various departments that ther there is equitable access to job opportunities in our city. we know there is work to be done. today we celebrate an amazing accomplishment, thanks to so many incredible people who believe in the work we are doing and because of this work we are going to positively impact thousands in san francisco and hopefully change their lives and our city for the better. thank you all so much for being here today.

>> you're watching quick bite, the show that has san francisco. ♪ ♪ ♪ >> we're here at one of the many food centric districts of san francisco, the 18th street corridor which locals have affectionately dubbed the castro. a cross between castro and gastronomic. the bakery, pizza, and dolores

park cafe, there is no end in sight for the mouth watering food options here. adding to the culinary delights is the family of business he which includes skylight creamery, skylight and the 18 raisin. >> skylight market has been here since 1940. it's been in the family since 1964. his father and uncle bought the market and ran it through sam taking it over in 1998. at that point sam revamped the market. he installed a kitchen in the center of the market and really made it a place where chefs look forward to come. he created community through food. so, we designed our community as having three parts we like to draw as a triangle where it's comprised of our producers that make the food, our staff, those who sell it, and our

guests who come and buy and eat the food. and we really feel that we wouldn't exist if it weren't for all three of those components who really support each other. and that's kind of what we work towards every day. >> valley creamery was opened in 2006. the two pastry chefs who started it, chris hoover and walker who is sam's wife, supplied all the pastries and bakeries for the market. they found a space on the block to do that and the ice cream kind of came as an afterthought. they realized the desire for ice cream and we now have lines around the corner. so, that's been a huge success. in 2008, sam started 18 reasons, which is our community and event space where we do five events a week all around the idea of bringling people closer to where the food comes from and closer to each other in that process.

>> 18 reasons was started almost four years ago as an educational arm of their work. and we would have dinners and a few classes and we understood there what momentum that people wanted this type of engagement and education in a way that allowed for a more in-depth conversation. we grew and now we offer -- i think we had nine, we have a series where adults learned home cooking and we did a teacher training workshop where san francisco unified public school teachers came and learned to use cooking for the core standards. we range all over the place. we really want everyone to feel like they can be included in the conversation. a lot of organizations i think which say we're going to teach cooking or we're going to teach gardening, or we're going to get in the policy side of the food from conversation. we say all of that is connected and we want to provide a place that feels really community oriented where you can be interested in multiple of those

things or one of those things and have an entree point to meet people. we want to build community and we're using food as a means to that end. >> we have a wonderful organization to be involved with obviously coming from buy right where really everyone is treated very much like family. coming into 18 reasons which even more community focused is such a treat. we have these events in the evening and we really try and bring people together. people come in in groups, meet friends that they didn't even know they had before. our whole set up is focused on communal table. you can sit across from someone and start a conversation. we're excited about that. >> i never worked in catering or food service before. it's been really fun learning about where things are coming from, where things are served from. >> it is getting really popular. she's a wonderful teacher and i think it is a perfect match for us. it is not about home cooking. it's really about how to facilitate your ease in the kitchen so you can just cook.

>> i have always loved eating food. for me, i love that it brings me into contact with so many wonderful people. ultimately all of my work that i do intersects at the place where food and community is. classes or cooking dinner for someone or writing about food. it always come down to empowering people and giving them a wonderful experience. empower their want to be around people and all the values and reasons the commitment, community and places, we're offering a whole spectrum of offerings and other really wide range of places to show that good food is not only for wealthy people and they are super committed to accessibility and to giving people a glimpse of the beauty that really is available to all of us that sometimes we forget in our day to day running around. >> we have such a philosophical

mission around bringing people together around food. it's so natural for me to come here. >> we want them to walk away feeling like they have the tools to make change in their lives. whether that change is voting on an issue in a way that they will really confident about, or that change is how to understand why it is important to support our small farmers. each class has a different purpose, but what we hope is that when people leave here they understand how to achieve that goal and feel that they have the resources necessary to do that. >> are you inspired? maybe you want to learn how to have a patch in your backyard or cook better with fresh ingredients . or grab a quick bite with organic goodies. find out more about 18 reasons by going to 18 reasons.org and learn about buy right market and creamery by going to buy
