zero by 2024. vision zero is guided nationally, internationally, by the same core principle of saving lives, of having equitable streets for all users, reducing speed, of making streets safe through engineering tools. and improving and focusing on human behavior that result in crashes. we've had a really robust community outreach process through our entire vision zero work. we recently updated our vision zero action strategy and had hundreds of san franciscans participate in how we are going to address traffic fatalities in the next 2-5 year time frame. and we asked them for all their new ideas. and what came out was a tremendous focus on infrastructure and engineering,

but also there is a real desire from the community to have education programs, to have ways for neighbors to talk to neighbors about ending traffic fatalities. and that is what i'll talk about later. just to sort of give a sense, we're a multiagency policy goal. and we're led by mta, that is where i sit, but we work hand-in-hand with the public health department who also co-chairs with me. i'm joined today by my colleague, commander tracy, who works day to day on the traffic enforcement company. you heard from chief scott today on their approach to vision zero. she's here to answer any additional questions. and i and my team are changing streets to improve them for safety. i know all of you have worked with us on those projects. some of the things we're doing and focussing on the next two to five years is protected bike

facilities and transit only lanes as our high impact sustainable travel lanes. we want to make all the sustainable choices the best choice for safe san franciscans to use. we're working heavily on the quick-build projects all of the city. we just completed one on valencia. we just finished the green paint in the last week. so thank you to the supervisors here for your support on that project. we're also doing basic operational changes to the streets every day, because not every street is appropriate for a parking-protected bike lane, but we want to make sure every crosswalk is visible for all users. and we're constantly evaluating our projects and how they're working to improve them for the next time we build a new improvement. safe people is our education and enforcement lens. so we have our speed enforcement campaigns that chief scott spoke about earlier.

we're developing multilingual biking and walking guides and those are starting to come out. if you look at our youtube site, there is work emerging from that effort. we've heard that we need to work with seniors. seniors are overrepresented and thinking about how to keep older adults safe is critical to our mission. and something we've been focusing on is coordinated response to the fa salt talt. -- fatality. and many different subdivisions within the group, so that when a traffic fatality happen, we're providing the right support not just to the victim's families, but the community, the engineering improvements are on the street as soon as possible. that's something that has evolved and we're looking to continue and expand in the next

few years. as vehicles continue to change, and i think we're all starting to see them on the street, we want to be ready for emerging mobility. we have been. i think our scooter pilot is one of those being thoughtful and deliberative about how we can be sure that every vehicle on the street is safe for all users. and we're working on city fleet improvements. and lastly, data systems. making sure we have the right data to address the issues we're having is critical. we need to understand how new mobility is affecting our traffic outcomes, so having excellent data is one of the pillars of our vision zero efforts. we are deeply entrenched in thinking about how we do this equityably. we're making sure we're doing our work in the most important

places, where there is the highest number of traffic collisions. if you live on sixth avenue or 6th street, you'll have the same outcome. we're think being whether we're doing the right things to get our work done, so we have met c metri metrics. we're going to be tracking. we're updating our website in the next month or so. for those interested, i encourage you to look and see how we're doing. some of our challenges in the coming fiscal year. i appreciate the report from the bla earlier this afternoon. our safe people, enforcement and education campaigns, which we heard from our community was emphasis and focus they would like to see in the vision zero program, think about, develop and expand, is one we have funded through one-time grant

sources. that is through the active planning transit sources. that is a really difficult way to do work and it's something we continue to do and we'll do work as we have grants in hand. but in order for us to develop and commit do the programs that i think the community is looking for, a sustainable source is needed. and something on the infrastructure side, i think that in the coming weeks, with you sitting at the transportation authority, we're looking to expand how we do our quick build. that is a good teaser for the future. from our safe people perspective, any education or enforcement programs we want to expand or enhance, we have limited existing budget for. and the key to vision zero, it's a partnership. and we're really proud of how much work we're doing. and we're not just talking about the budget here, but we've been working with our regional partners at mtc. we've been supportive through

the state. fb1 is a big deal for the transportation funding world. we recognize transportation and traffic safety is broader than just the city. and we're talking to all comers about our work and how to expand it. so thank you very much. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. any questions, comments? so i have a question. last year, we had how many fatalities? >> 20 traffic fatalities. >> supervisor fewer: how many of those were pedestrians? >> i believe last year was 16. it's traditionally 65-70% annually. >> supervisor fewer: so this year, we've had eight -- nine? >> yesterday is 11. >> supervisor fewer: so we're not meeting our goals. >> no. >> supervisor fewer: we're not meeting our goals, in fact, we're going in the opposition direction here, because we're on

track actually to have more. we're only four months into the year and we already have 11. last year we had 20. i have to say it's -- i get that we've been -- vision zero i think is the -- vision zero logo, everything, people know what it's, they're ware of the vision zero, however, we keep having these incidents of these crashes, collisions, of people dying on our streets. and i just say that in my neighborhood, i had two in one month. both of them pedestrians. boefth them seniors. both of them chinese. my kind of demographic who i am and in intersections, right in crosswalks. i think this is completely alarming. i just want to say that it seems as though it's really about driving behavior, too. so i get the infrastructure. we can put all the

infrastructure we want. i've had fatalities in my district in broad daylight at a four-way stop. so what i think is needed, actually more, is really about more education and more enforcement of -- for drivers. i think that san francisco is increasingly a much more difficult place to drive. there is much new infrastructure that people who have been driving for a long time, actually are not familiar with. they don't know how to drive in a traffic circle that actually has a four-way stop. because in europe, there are no four-way stops at a traffic circle. i'm a little confused about it myself. who has the right-of-way there. also, i want to say that -- and protected bike lanes, i think a lot of people are sort of not aware of how to drive around

them, or park around them. so i wanted to know, are we vesting in any driver education? i get we have some pedestrian education and education for bicyclists, but what about doing some investing in driver education? >> yeah. we agree with you. so we have currently going up on our youtube site is driving in today's sf. which articulates the things you're saying. someone with a driver's license, if you're me, i got it 20 years ago, so i don't feel that old, and realize that i am but there are people who may have had 50 years since they took the test. the new infrastructure on the streets, something we want to communicate to the drivers. this slide is relevant. the dmv is a state-run agency and that's where we educate

drivers. so the good news is we have a 20-second bit. we developed here in san francisco and asked the dmv to run it. so everyone is going to see a 20-second bit about speeding. and the dmv agreed to put it in every dmv all over the state of california. if you're in irvine, san francisco, we're using the social media presence. and we're recognizing that a lot of our tools are out there. and we want to share that information and we're using the media we have possible, but we're limited. and that's where more conversations with the regions and the states are critical. to getting to the goals i'm articulating. i will look at the video.

this is not blaming vision zero at all. it is just a question, how do we? i mean when you have more and more cars on the street and you have such congestion. when you have people that are on the streets that are not familiar with the streets. and the tens of thousands every day. when you have streets that are congested but also increasing population of seniors that are cross the streets. that seem be to the most vulnerable pedestrians, quite frankly, when we look at vision zero numbers, so how do we meet those goals? >> sure, absolutely. >> supervisor fewer: i'm just going to say, i think that increasingly, as these factors start to multiply, more cars, more seniors, more -- it is -- we can put in every block in my neighborhood probably wants speed bumps. we can put them everywhere. we are still seeing, even with

the infrastructure, that we have invested in and put in, we're still seeing these numbers. >> we also agree with you. so i took the slide out, but in our action strategy, we articulate four policies that are proven to reduce injuries and fatalities. those are pricing of some variety, called congestion pricing, but it can work in all different ways. automated speed enforcement. so our police are doing the best job they have with the resources they have, but automated enforcement supplements the police officers and encourages drivers to follow the laws and reduce their speed. local regulation of transportation network companies, because i think your point is a lot of drivers are coming from out of the region. and driving in a city they're unfamiliar with. so our ability to regular tlart vehicles -- regulate their vehicles and drivers is critical. there is number four policy and

i'm blanking on it this exact moment. oh, urban speed limit setting. the california vehicle code sets how we set speeds at the 85 percentile. it's one that supervisor yee has brought up many times. the task force is coming this year through the assembly to create a bill that will ideally get us to local authority over speed limit setting. so those are the four policies that we're clear. that does not mean we will diminish the work we're doing locally. we'll put speed bumps where they're needed for a long time, but we are looking for a little more assistance. and that is in our strategy and that's something we're working toward every day. and we look for voices to help champion that across the state.

>> supervisor fewer: okay thank you. any other questions, comments? thank you very much. now, i'm so sorry that it took so long. we have community presenters. i hope they're still here. andrew, sam, and wayne from budget justice. and because public safety isn't just about law enforcement, it also is about community, too. come on up and shed some light.

good afternoon, supervisors. the slide will be up shortly. i'm going to begin. my name is andrew zito, i'm organizer with critical resistance. i want to give you an introduction about who we are. the budget justice coalition is made up for 30 organizations for san francisco's most impacted communities, making sure that the city budget serves the needs of the communities. the jail coalition is a group of organizations started in 2013, organizing to stop the construction of new jails in san francisco and for decars ration.

we're here today to present some research we've done around the city budget, around criminalization. and ways that we can move towards moving funding away from criminalization, divesting from criminalization and investing in measures like housing, education and community that keep us safe. the first slide, if we can get it up, highlights -- >> we can put it on -- >> we have the slide. it has my notes on it. >> can we stop the clock? >> supervisor fewer: stop the

clock, please. thank you. it's okay, you waited for us. we're happy to wait for you. >> thank you. next slide, please. so firstly, i just wanted to stay public safety conversations within city hall often turn to solely about more policing and criminalization. today, we're here to try to reframe what constitutes safety for the public. we want to say that criminalization only creates more harm. it's housing, community services and education that makes cities safe. so in this slide, i wanted to highlight that 23% of the general fund goes towards criminalizing our communities. and that is for police share of juvenile probation, adult probation, et cetera. we have four budget solutions we want to propose to you that will, we believe, will increase

public safety. the first one is the close county jail 4 and the youth guidance center. there is upcoming hearing about that. the next is about not hiring any more sfpd positions. criminalizing our communities and more police officers actually increases the jail population and doesn't make us safe. the third is to stop criminalizing homelessness. the fourth is to invest in care in communities, not jails. the three we want to highlight today are housing, education, mental health and substance treatment. last week's budget hearing, there was a resounding need for ongoing sources of funding. there is enough money in the sf budget, it just had to be shifted away from criminalization. so in this slide, we pulled out

some numbers. one that i want to highlight is that the city budget around $6 million every year to the mta to fund fare evasion. and we know that fare evasion doesn't actually stop people from doing it. the criminalization of fare evasion. what we know is that if you put the $6 million away from funding the officers toward subsidizing bus -- muni bus fares, that would actually make our communities safer. in total, there are $66.5 million that we've highlighted that goes towards criminalization that could be revested in community-based safety. so the city has declared

incarceration a public health issue and has work groups around alternatives to incarceration. however, we continue to add more police to the streets. as a city, that is taking a stance against incarceration, there has to be moratorium on the expansion of policing and the police budget in san francisco. you'll notice there is a dramatic spike the same time of arrests at the same time that the largest police class.

sam is not able to be here. this slide from 2016, there was a report that at least $20 million was being spent enforcing quality of life laws in the city. and that number is probably increased with all the sweeps we've been seeing in the past couple of months and last year. so looking at budgets enforcing ant anti-homelessness measures. removal of law enforcement from all actions addressing homelessness will result in fewer arrests and stronger prioritization of resources. currently they assign a team of two officers to each crew and can't make cleanup teams. these officers should be removed. as well as the healthy streets operation center is heavily led

by the police department right now. so by ending quality of life enforcement, we can also find these ongoing money sources for increased housing and services. so about housing. here and in the jail closure report that the no new coalition put out, we know that many people are held in jail when they could be held in housing and community. others residual vat because of lack of housing. if it's subsidized. as some subsidies require exit if a person has been out of the unit for a specified amount of time. the continuum of care, hud subsidies, that 90 days. which can be the length someone is held because they can't pay bail.

these were supported by the no jail coalition. this is just a comparison from what was heard last week. the ask is for $13.9 million for supportive housing. and the supportive housing network also spoke last week. and that is an ask for money and currently we're spending over $18 million on police response to houseless people. policing is not the solution here and it's not the goal -- the goal is not to get the police to better spend the money, because police are not social workers and will never be social workers. lastly, in addition to housing,

investment in collocated services will reduce recidivism rates and support community well-being. i'm going to pass it over to talk about education, which as eight of the supervisors supported the closure of ygc, the board has already recognized the importance of divesting from criminalization and investing in care. >> so the third category of investment that we ask you to put investment into to increase public safety is education. we know that people of color, working class, houseless people, and transitional aged youth are the most targeted in policing. and the majority of people are in san francisco jails. we should be investing in educational resources for the communities. not targeting them for imprisonment. in my 35 years as a faculty

member at city college of san francisco, i've seen how city college transforms lives. the statistics show that california community college students double their earnings within three years of earning a degree or certificate. do we have more time? great, thanks. so i don't have to hurry. and i'm just going to be a few more minutes. california community college graduates have doubled the chance of finding a job compared to those who failed to complete high school. this is also true for students who attend community college without getting a certificate. or graduating. over the past few years, san francisco -- over the past few years, san francisco has actually done a great job of investing in our schools.

from increasing the funding of k through 12. san francisco understands the value of investing in our students. and that it's more effective than investing in our criminal justice system. but did you know that california ranks dead last in america for its spending on students versus spending on prisoners? in fact, california spends six times more per prisoner than per student. the california community colleges is the state's most cost effective system of education. and that for every dollar california invests in students that graduate from college, it will receive a net return for $4.50. sorry. all right.

as you decide your budget priorities for this year, we ask that you think creatively about what is considered public safety. reduce the budget that is spend on criminalization and increase spending on housing, education, and service provision. let's be a leaders in the state with a truly effective program to increase public safety of our communities. we ask that you implement the proposed budgetary solutions that were suggested here. thank you for your time and listening to the interests of the budget justice coalition, which represents dozens of san francisco community based organizations. >> supervisor fewer: questions or comments? so i just wanted to clarify that last year what happened in the budget cycle was we were looked

at the bla staffing report for the police department. and they gave -- they identified 203 positions that are being held by civilians. and the police department was asking for more money to put academy classes through. so i think there were a group of us that said we should actually, instead of giving more money to put the academy classes through, those police officers we've already invested in and trained, they should be out and we shouldn't be investing in new academy classes because we had police officers that were actually not doing policing work. they were doing civilian work. that is where there was -- so there was much discussion and we -- the committee decided to actually fund the classes. and have 50 of those positions

be civilian. we will see what the budget cost is. so we actually, i think, there are people on the committee that thought that we should take the recommendations that the budget analyst and not fund the new academy coming through, but the majority voted to actually fund the new police classes. so that is the extra funds that came in. and it was -- i think that was the purpose of this civilianization, instead of investing in new academy classes. i want to say we'll be having a hearing about incarceration and the cost of incarceration and i want you to come to that actually. and actually, you can meet with chelsea about that and what that agenda looks like. also, i wanted to say, yes, i know about our non-investment in

public education in the state of california, which is the fifth largest economy in the world. and we see continually that public education is not funded. this is why i think we need to reform prop 13 and i hope that is coming in 2020. and that will pass. because that is a little loophole also that allows corporations to get a tax break on their property tax that is meant for homeowners. we see large corporations benefitting from this, where more money should be coming for public education. i also wanted to say i agree with you about community colleges. that i think this is a solid investment. it is not only aligned, i think, with life long learning, but it is also a port of a solution to homelessness. that we are now facing the third

industrial revolution here. and we don't have a safety net for these people. and people need to learn new trades or need to learn to up their skill level to compete. we're talking about people who are maybe 40 years old. and this is the gift of free city college that they can go back and up the skill level, perhaps learn a new skill, to be actively involved in the job market. and as we know, that this is a very horrible time for people to be losing their jobs in san francisco because it is hard to re-enter the job market without extra training. i went to a city college myself. so did my husband. we went when it was free. so we both know the value of a free college education. and also, i want to say the city college, i was on the school board for eight years.

it's a safety net for those we don't serve well in our k-12 system. it is -- so even more resources should be put to it, because it is the last safety net sometimes for folks to actually get a college education. because our public school system has failed them. so, i know that we have been in touch. we will have a day of public comment. and we would suggest that you come back actually during that time. and i want to also say, i know this is a really long hearing and thank you so much for waiting and listening to everything. i believe we've probably lost a lot of the public comment. i apologize. we knew this was going to be a long one. and we're all here to blame a

little bit, because we asked so many questions. but i want to invite you to come back and remind us that you were at the last of the list and had to wait and that should not happen again. so thank you very much. and i appreciate it. and any comments or -- i think you agree also on city college here. thank you very much again. now let's open up for public comment. are there any members of the public that would like this comment on item number 5? michael, thank you for being so patient. i appreciate it. >> all of you, you just witnessed what it is like and got a sample of what it feels like to be a black man. and be racially profiled. i come in here today to speak up about the most vulnerable people who are not getting equal opportunity housing, and what it takes in order to take care of

their problems and disabilities. i'm sitting there by myself, taking care of my business, waiting to speak. a black skin colored female comes in and starts yelling, asking for freedom back. gascon is here, okay, and i don't like the way he disrespected stefani when she explains how their organization is pointing the finger back and forth and forth and back. so the sheriff come over and ask me to come out. so while i'm by the door, i'm surrounded by three people. i said what you should do is ask him how come he ain't prosecuting that hate crime that has been directed towards me and blacks skinned color females. i don't appreciate him talking to you like this stefani. i'm quick to react when females are disrespected. steve lloyd is making death threats toward me, i'll kill you

n igg er. i went to the restraining order, courted several times and got restraining orders against him and put him in jail. been going through this five and a half years. they tell him to prosecute him on a hate crime because that demonstrated that while he's making these slurs and making death threats, it's a terrorist threat and a hate prime -- [bell ringing] >> supervisor fewer: mr. wright, would you please put the microphone back on. i have a question for you. when you were escorted out of the room, i believe you wanted to address something with the

district attorney. and i said you should address that during public comment time. so would you -- i understand the situation that happened to you. but right now, can you tell me what is it that you wanted to address the district attorney and to say. >> well, he was up here, i used my legal expense, stefani, you're not the only one that is prosecuted up in here. i wanted to grill him and have you ask him, how come you not following that criminal courtroom judge's instruction to bring steve lloyd to trial for a hate crime because i documented everything that he did and the signatures who he arrest, females and harassing females in the elevator. he'll get in the elevator with a female and when the elevator door is closed, he'll say you fucking fingenigger.

practicing law 20 years and state court and federal court. my legal expense is way far beyond most people who has a degree. representing myself as my own attorney. i've been before numerous judges. i even been before judge dortman. that's why i say when i say it, when i was on my way out the door. >> thank you very much. >> when he sit up there and try to tell stefani that the world has changed since she was a prosecutor, he's a goddamned liar. she hit that on the head. i got a report where transgender is on the receiving end of hate crimes and they're not doing a goddamned thing about that either.

>> supervisor fewer: thank you, mr. wright. stephen lloyd. got it, thank you, mr. wright. thank you very much. okay, let's allow the other public speakers to come forward, because they've been waiting, too. >> supervisor fewer: i can't give him another two minutes. michael -- or drop on by my office, michael, also. thank you, mr. wright. next speaker, please. hi, caroline, staff at the youth commission. my fellow youth commissioners of the transformative justice committee wanted to communicate that we completely support the no jail coalition and based on last year's performance audit of the sfpd, the police department

is one of the highly paid city employees, whereas the youth employment and youth services are not equitable to the current standards. so right now, we're investing on youth rights as well as youth police training. and hoping that actually leads to more rehabilitation with families and youth. so we would highly like to endorse their budget asks and policy asks. thank you. >> good afternoon. the department on the status of women. i wanted to address a specific request around violence against women. our department staff family violence council, the mayor task force on human trafficking and we regularly com pile and develop recommendations to improve san francisco's response to these issues. i provided the highlights and recommendations from our most

recent reports. they're over there. and i just wanted to really call out attention to one. which is the primary recommendation of the family violence council is to fund the sheriff department to implement a program to remove guns from people who have restraining orders against them. domestic violence when there is a gun present, are five times more likely to be killed by a partner. the san matteo county sheriff department has a model where every restraining order is checked to make sure there are guns removed if present. currently the sheriff department is only using overtime hours to serve those 25% restraining orders and they could do more with more staffing. that is an important request. i want to draw the attention for the need for adequate staffing

at the victims unit. they identified there should be 65 investigators at the special victims unit. our understanding is there is 51 straddled 11 different disciplines from elder violence, internet crimes, juvenile, missing persons, human traffickers and financial crimes. they have a lot of work to do and we need them to take the work sears seriously. there have been 529 cases of human trafficking since the last report. there is a state law that mandates training for municipal transportation drivers. that will be coming forward. >> supervisor fewer: i just wanted to say quickly for the request about the firearms restraining program. i wanted to follow up with you and make sure you're tied into the restraining order implementation talks.

>> supervisor fewer: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. i'm lynn and i've been interviewing instructor at city college for over three decades and i'm currently the vice president of aft2121. you may or may not realize there is going to be an $8 million short fall for the fiscal year of 2019-2020, between what city college of san francisco puts out. probably w brought in tens of millions of dollars to the city coffers and it passed with the voters because they thought they were voting to fund free city. the money is there. why isn't it being used for what the voters voted for? >> thank you very much. any other public speakers? seeing none, public comment is closed. madame clerk, any other items before us today?

>> madame chair, we need to take action on this item. would you like this file? >> we would like to file this, please. >> and there is no other business. >> supervisor fewer: we're adjourned. >> my s.f. dove -- government t.v. moment was when i received

a commendation award from supervisor chris daly. then we sang a duet in the board chamber. [singing] >> happy anniversary san francisco government t.v. happy anniversary to you. happy anniversary san francisco government t.v. anniversary, anniversary, happy 25th anniversary to you. >> three, two, one. [applause.] >> congratulations everybody. thank you. >> so the project was driven by

the need to improve conditions for people biking and walking from beach street to mcallister. between 2010 and 2015, there were 290 traffic crashes including two deaths, 110 bike collisions and 78te 78 pedestrin collisions. the construction was a little over two years. it including pedestrian crossing, better bike facilities, new street trees, we repaved the entire corridor. fern alley has decorative street plants and new palm streets. cbd helped maintain the alleys and they are planning farmers

markets and pop ups and bands. >> the goal was to build on the economic vibra vibrancy of polkt and to provide a safe street for the whole [♪] >> i actually knew when i was young, when i was in high school. it was the iconic dancer. [♪] >> the hula that he did was what i'm totally accustom to. the extensions that he did where

he left hula flavor of the rest of his dance and performance was almost like stepping into a new sphere. it's not just the physical, the movements and the tempo and the lyrics, it's that he keeps it, i think, philosophically connected. [♪] >> he was young. he was ready to be molded. he came with a combination of fear and respect and awe many of it's a perfect place for a new student to be because it offers you that opportunity to mold them. >> with patrick, when he came to class, he was like a sponge. like a sponge. and he kept true to it. you know what i'm saying. when it was starting to study, he was so intense. he had to be told to relax.

>> patrick is a sweetest, kindest, most loving man i met. >> he is charismatic. he is motivating. he is inspiring. he is brilliant when it comes to choreography. you've got the whole package. >> i think patrick is a good example within the whole world of being able to have a firm grasp on past traditions while shooting forward. ♪ the first time ♪ ever i kissed your mouth >> with hula songs, they're in hawaiian. not everybody knows hawaiian. when you watch a hula, you don't understand the story being told. he can use ledge songs and put a

hula do it and everybody understands what it's about. [♪] when they came out in that black and that one simple hairpiece, less is more. you get to enjoy the dance. you get to enjoy the faith. those are the things i look for. [♪] >> i think he is one of the best risk takers. and he makes me braver, to try things. i love thinking of an audience going, what the hell. what?

[♪] >> i think it's all about variety. he looks for something else that could relate to other cultures, other people other than just hawaiians, it allows him to explore other cultures. they are so loyal to him. whatever he brings, they know that they will be surprised, entertained. a part of something that is inclusive rather than exclusive. [♪] >> he loves san francisco. san francisco embraced him when he needed it most. and he is on a constant give

back. he has built such a nice inga tral working relationship with the community. >> his passion for it is, i think what touched me most. there's a drive there. there's this energy that comes from him that motivates you to do better. it motivates you to do more. it gave me that encouragement to start my own group. to do what he is doing. i want to replicate that. i have some young hula students that are excited to be a part of that lynn' age where it falls back and goes all the way back. it motivates them to want to keep doing it. >> i'm very proud to be the fly on your wall. to know that you have made me proud and that you will carry the legacy with you.

he is so deserving of this legacy and it will carry on. with everything that he has given. >> you do leave a legacy in passing. >> you go. you go catch your legacy. and you continue to teach hula. you come back and you learn more stuff and you keep teaching me about that kind of stuff. and then, with all of that, laugh.

>> the renovation of balboa park, the oldest in the city of san francisco, and now it is the newest part in the city of san francisco. through our partnership, and because of public investment from the two thousand eight fund, we are celebrating a renewal and an awakening of this park. we have it safer, happier, more joyous. >> 3, 2, 1, [laughter] =--[applause]

>> it is a great resource for families, to have fun in the city, recreation. >> this is an amazing park. we have not revitalized it without public and private investment. the critical piece of the process of this renovation was that it was all about the community. we reached out to everyone in this community. we love this park dearly and they all had thoughts and ideas and they wanted to bring their own creativity and their personality to bear on the design. what you see is what the community wanted. these ideas all came from the residents of this community. as a result, there is a sense of ownership, pride and responsibility that goes along with what is going to be an

exciting park. >> meeting of the parking authority commission and municipal transportation agency is called to order. directors, please be advised that both chair heinicke and vice chair borden are absent, to pursuant to your rules of order it is appropriate for order to elect an acting chair to preside over the meeting. >> i would love to have director brinkman act as chair? >> any other nominations? seeing none. all those in favor say aye. opposed neigh. the ayes haveet. -- have a it.
