>> our office is still certainly filing motions. the information you get from that, as many of you know is a name and address. under sb-1421, you get

everything. you get transcripts of interviews, you get recordings of interviews. you get any and all information related to that request. and again, this is violence, use of force against a member of the public, this is firing a weapon at a member of the public, and this is sustained allegations of dishonesty against a person who's a member of the public. so those four categories are a subset of what d.p.a. and the police department have, but it is a large amount of information, i understand that. the 30 requests we have made of officers are of active cases. >> that's important that you get that. i agree.

>> president hirsch: okay. captain? >> under the a.d.a., we would be under obligation to provide that. if there's sustained allegations that go to dishonesty, you certainly get those records. and then, with such a large issue on 1421, we talked about it last time we were here -- we talked about it last week, as a matter of fact, and we're setting it on the agenda in june so the d.p.a. can respond and search its records and sfpd. >> president hirsch: this is public comment. it's not supposed to be back and forth. i don't want to set that precedent because we won't survive it. commissioner elias. >> i am concerned as to why

only two reports have been released and those have been with respect to retired officers, and i am going to ask that the police department show what -- how it is prioritizing these requests as they come in since we are asking d.p.a. to provide that information, i think it's also fair that the police department provide us that information, as well. >> commissioners, i think the discussion here has gone way beyond. we need an agenda item in order to continue the commission. >> president hirsch: all right. commissioner hamasaki? >> commissioner hamasaki: all right. i would follow up. i didn't know that only providing the retired officers, so i'd ask both the chief and the d.p.a. address that. i can't imagine that -- that just doesn't sound right, and if that's going on, it'll be addressed. >> president hirsch: okay. public comment? yes. >> my name's leo thistle, and

i'm a student at hastings. i know this commission has considered and will consider a new policy for how to handle record requests under sb-1421. all it did was to expand the definition of what records are public. a new policy of when and how to release those records is unnecessary because there's already a general order covering public records requests. the notification of officers provided for in this procedure is completely unnecessary and uncalled for in t and called for in the statute. presumably, the p.o.a. has already informed them as it has brought an end to the civil action on the officers' behalf. in chicago the past five years, all allegations made against officers, whether sustained or not, has made that information

public. it's a citizens police data project, cpdp.org. the sfpd feels that there is inflammatory information in these records underscores the legislation that the public has a right to know and keep police accountable for how they investigate and how they account for their officers' misbehavior. to not only allow but say that an independent oversight agency shall share its records with the very people and organizations it's charged with overseeing is an abdication of

responsibility. if d.p.a. releases 100 pages on an officer and sfpd releases five, that should give the public pause. we cannot take a law and hold police accountable for reviewing which documents the public has a right to receive. it's not d.p.a.s job to investigate i.a., and it's not i.a.s job to rubber stamp what d.p.a. released to the public. the public is better served with two public results. >> president hirsch: thank you. any other public comment? >> good evening, everyone. i just wanted to comment on the mother's day event. yes, we did go to the mother's day event, and yes, mother's day is actually really hard for

me. our children's case is unsolved. the mother's day event was good, but i only went because i wanted to see the other mothers. the event, i didn't care about. i have a relationship with those other mothers who have lost children to homicide. i do appreciate the roses, the flowers, and things, but we've been doing that for years down at city hall, standing in front of city hall by ourselves in the rain, and this is a thing that happens every year, but it brings the mothers together, and that's a good thing. i appreciated all that, but it's not solving our cases. it's not doing anything for us 'cause when we go to these events, we're talking about our children, when are they going to solve our cases? when are they going to do this? when are they going to do that? i would like to use the

overhead. i come here all the time to talk about my son aubrey. his birthday was april 6. he would be 30 years old. you go from 17 years old to 30 years old, that's a long time, and still, his case isn't solved. you guys have all the names of the perpetrators that shot my baby. these names are down, they're on his case on the fifth floor in homicide. these names i didn't get out of a hat. these are on his file of all the persons that did this to my child. so i asked why isn't this case solved? it's not so much as no one wanted to point the finger, nobody wants to tell they're not giving evidence. they put all these people in jail to let them out again. what do we do to change the laws so that some of our cases can get solved?

i bring these pictures because these are all unsolved homicides. i stand with some of these mothers and fathers. and you talking with -- about mother's day? father's day is coming up, and they will be hurting just as much, as well. my son had a father, and he talks to me often. he asks me about the case. i'm not saying he doesn't have the heart to do it, but i'm the one that took the therapy to go out there and cure myself of the trauma that i've gone through, and his father hasn't, so he's counting on me. so the pain and the trauma is still there. and all i have is to put these pictures up on a pole. we need a venue. thank you. >> president hirsch: thank you. vice president taylor? >> vice president taylor: thank you, miss brown. i enoujust want to say that --

sure commissioner mazzucco can speak to this, too. as you know, i used to prosecute homicide cases, a lot of homicide cases, and it's impossible to do without witnesses coming forward. and there are people walking around this city who know who killed your son. and it is so frustrating when you have community members who know what happened, were there when it happened, but when it comes to what happened, i didn't see anything, i didn't hear anything, i don't know anything. and i just want to entreat anybody who's listening, when it happens to you, then, it becomes really important that you have people who come forward. and i want people to understand that when you lose a loved one, when you're a mom who's lost their child, there is nothing worse, and there is nothing that the police with do, any law enforcement can do if the people who saw that happen don't actually kind of pony up

and say this was wrong and i'm going to do something about it, and i'm going to testify and be a part of this. and i would just urge anyone in the community who knows anything -- because i'm tired of seeing you here. >> i'm tired of being here. >> vice president taylor: i want you to enjoy your life, and that can't happen unless people speak up. >> president hirsch: the anonymous tip line is 415-575-4444. thank you. >> thank you. >> president hirsch: any other public comment? all right. public comment is closed. next item. >> clerk: line item six, public comment on all items pertaining to item eight, including closed session. vote whether to hold item eight in closed session? >> president hirsch: is there a vote to hold item eight in closed session?

>> clerk: there's public comment before we vote on whether to hold item eight in closed session. >> president hirsch: do we have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> president hirsch: okay. public comment on whether we go in closed session? >> clerk: all in favor? >> president hirsch: public >> clerk: okay. commissioner, i'd like to read line nine. vote to reveal any or all discussion held in closed session, action. >> president hirsch: motion? >> move for nondisclosure. >> president hirsch: all in favor? any opposed? >> clerk: the motion passes

unanimously. >> president hirsch: is there a motion to adjourn? >> yes. >> second. >> president hirsch: all in favor? opposed? >> clerk: the motion passes unanimously. thank you. >> president hirsch: thank you. >> please stand by for closed

captioning. >> good morning, the meeting will come to order. this is may 15th, 2019, the regular meeting of the budget and finance committee. i am sandy fewer, the clerk is the lovely linda wong. i would love to thank sfgov tv for broadcasting this meeting. madam clerk, do you have any announcements? >> yes, please silent cell phones and electronic devices. any copies of files to be submitted to the clerk. the board of supervisors agenda, unless the device stated. >> madam clerk, can you call item number one.

>> a lease extension option for the property located at 520 jones street, june 1st through may 31st, 2029 for a total annual base rent of 1 million. >> thank you very much. we have miss claudia here from the real estate commission. >> thank you. for your consideration is a resolution authorizing a ten year option to extend the term of the lease at 520 jones from june 1st, 2019, to may 31st, 2029. it is used for 75 single resident occupancy rooms, plus about 9 rooms for tenant services at pacific bay inn. the department of homelessness and supportive housing has jurisdiction over the use. tenants include individuals with

a history of homelessness and may have a disability related to mental health, aids or h.i.v., an substance abuse. the city gave written notice of their intention to exercise the first option to extend the lease. unfortunately, the landlord failed to provide notice to the city of the new rent amount within 30 days of the city's notice option as required by the lease. real estate followed up and on april 2nd, actually provided the landlord with the rent amount they believe should be paid based on the formula set forth in the lease, using 51% of the monthly allowance for a zero bedroom rent unit in the city in the most recently published hud governmental index. so there is no real negotiation on the rent price. it's approximately $1 million

for the first renewal year. on april 19th, 2019, the parties executed a letter agreement regarding the amount of rent which commenced. the lease expired on april 30th and we have been on rent holdover for one month, but it's lower than what would be paid under the new extended term based on the government rent index. the city will continue to pay all utilities and services in the annual rent adjustment will be between 2% to 6%, dependent on the c.p.i., which has been averaging around 3%. we agree with the budget and legislative report and recommendation and urge you to move this recommendation first with a positive recommendation. should you have any programming questions, g.g. whitley is here to answer them. thank you. >> thank you very much.

colleagues any comments on questions? seeing none. >> good morning chair fewer and members of the committee. this would improve the first of two ten year options to extend this lease through 2019. it's for 75 supportive housing units. the rent includes by formula in the original lease agreement, based on the formula, the first year of rent will be $1 million as we show on table 2, page 4 of the report. it will go up between 2% to 6% per year. we expect an increase of 3% a year, for a total cost of 2.2 million over the ten year term and we do recommend approval. >> thank you very much. is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i like to make a motion to move

this to the board with a positive remitted -- recommend takes. madam clerk, can you call item number 2. >> a resolution on a multihou multihouse -- multifamily housing revenue notes, on a 30 unit multifamily housing project. >> joan mcnamara. >> good morning, my name is joan and i'm a senior project manager at the mayor office of housing and community development. i'm here to present on item 2, a bond issuance to fund the acquisition and rehabilitation of abel gonzales, an existing 30 unit affordable housing for seniors located at 1045 capp

street in the mission district. transactions fundamentals have not changed since september 2018. it's still a conduit financing with no recourse to the general fund. 29 of the project's units will serve families earning no more than 50% a.m.i. and one unit with a household earning of no more than 80% a.m.i. with income averaging, and this is acceptable. they continue to be in compliance to prevailing wage and l.b.e. requirements. the developer has secured a debt limit allocation amount from sidlac. the financing team has developed

the substantially issuance document with the city attorney and outside accounts, and that's what is in your package before you. the financing team is on track to close this transaction by the first week of june. the rehabilitation is expected to be completed in august of 2020. on behalf of the project's sponsor, mission housing development corporation, i would like to thank you for your consideration here today. i look forward to your continued support. i'm joined today by john lovell of mission housing development corporation in case you have any questions for me or mission. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any questions or comments? there is no, i do have one question. my one question is so, how do i get this in my neighborhood? >> how do you get this? >> okay, me too.

>> because this is needed in my neighborhood. having posed that question, i think that's a longer conversation that we should follow up with. >> right. >> madam clerk, i would like to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. any members of the public would like to comment on this issue? seeing none, public comments is now closed. now madam clerk, can you please call item number 3. >> an ordinance about the public works code for a temporary street space occupancy permit on may 11, 2019 to promote small business week. >> and we have dominica donovan. good to see you again. >> chair fewer, supervisors, thank you so much for having me. i am the senior policy analyst and small business commission secretary. last week, san francisco celebrated its 15th annual small business week and for the 13th

year, concluded with celebrating shopping and dining in the city's merchant corridors. this has been an effort led by the district merchants and the office of small business, and this is impossible without the continued support of the board of supervisors for a permit waiver. the fee waiver seemingly nominal has allowed our businesses to showcase their products and services through sidewalk sales, contributing to the economic vitalities of our corridors. last saturday, nearly all districts participated, totaling in $18,284 potentially waved in fees. i have a list of the number of bloc blocks that participated. everybody though this event has

passed, the legislation doesn't include a retroactive date for the fee waver for the events this past saturday. i would like to know that it includes district 8 and district 10. the small business commissioner would like to thank supervisor brown for sponsoring this legislation and public works for their annual partnership, especially director and his team. the office and the commission always appreciates the support through this annual fee waver, as do the merchants association, so i look forward in participating in the event each year. it's thanks to your support that they are able to. >> thank you very much. colleagues any questions or comments? seeing none, let's open this up for public comment. would anyone in the public like to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. i would like to move this to the board with a positive

recommendation. if we can take that without objection. thank you very much. madam clerk, please call item number 4. >> the real property located at 70 oak grove street, amending the first extended term to may 31, 2019, with an additional 35 year option to extend, for a base rental of 479,000. >> we have claudia here from the real estate division. >> good morning again, for your consideration, as a resolution authorizing basically three things, the exercise of a five year option to extend the term of the lease at 70 oak grove from june 1st, 2019, to may 31st, 2024. it provides a third extension of five years. it revises or basically corrects

an administrative error in the lease, which will change the ending date from may 30th to may 31st, 2029. the premises has been leased by the city since 2004 and we exercise the first extension option in 2014. it's occupied by the san francisco sheriff's department. it includes incarceration programs, the sheriff's work alternative program, the five key charter schools are there and there are some administrative offices. the current rent is $44 a square foot and an appraisal was formed at $53 per square foot. an annual rent for foregoing some tenant improvements, including recarpeting and repainting the premises, which is required every extension

under the original lease. the sheriff's department indicated there is no need for repainting and recarpeting at this time. the rent is about 90% of fair market rate for similar space in the city. there will be no annual escalations in the rent in the five year extended term. the sheriff's department will be responsible for all utilities and services at the site. we agree with the budge and legislative analyst report and recommendation and urge you to move this resolution forward with a positive recommendation. chief deputy paulson and krispen are here if you have any questions. >> thank you, can we have a b.l. a. report. >> they entered in 2004, and it was most recently approved by the board of supervisors in

2014, but before you today is emphasizing a five year option from extending the lease to 2024 at basement at $479,000 per year. this is confirmed as 90% of fair market value from an independent appraisal. on page 9, table two of our report at 2.4 million. this lease also adds an additional five year option to extend -- let me make sure i'm not confusing my leases here, it add an option to extend the lease through 2029. it's not in the original lease. it would be the option for the board of supervisors' approval. >> thank you very much. any members of the public would like to comment on item number

4? seeing none, public comment is now closed. i like to make a motion to move this to the board with a positive recommendation if we can take that without objection. thank you very much. madam clerk, can you call item number 5. >> item number five, a lease for the portion of the equipment room at 1 market street, at an annual -- sorry at an initial annual rent of 185 thousand or the monthly base rent of 15 thousand, with 3% annual adjustments there after. >> thank you very much. we have claudia from the real estate division. >> good morning again. the city currently owns and operates 2800 megahertz communication systems. the first is an emergency radio

system used by police, fire, and other emergency management agencies for first responders in the field to communicate with each other and dispatch centers. the second system is used by public works and public agencies for their daily operations. the department of emergency management and the department of technology are currently upgrading and replacing the current system and are combining them into one system. the new system consists of ten radio communication sites and primary dispatch site designed to provide radio coverage throughout the city and san mateo county, especially during an emergency event. these are sites that the city has telecommunications, equipment, and towers on for years. real estate has brought a few of them before the board and they have all been approved. one market plaza is one of the original sites and one of the ten communication radio sites needed for coverage of the city.

they will replace equipment and batteries, and antennas and microwave dishes. the resolution for your consideration authorizes a 2nd amendment to the original lease between the city and now owner, landlord, p.p.f. paramount one owner. it extends the lease until may 31st, 2020, extending the lease through 2030. the lease has been on hold since 2013 when the former director of property offered a letter of intent to extend the lease under certain terms. the management company changed and negotiations continued. in 2015, sfmta added equipment to the site. shortly after the board approved

the 800 megahertz project. with all the new equipment and additional square feet, the two parties negotiated aholdover rent and rent that will have basically continued and would have lapped -- lapsed in 2020. that's why there is a question to extend the lease to may 2020. the parties agreed to a holdover rent, they agreed to a 3% annual adjustment which would continue through the new term. starting in june 2019, the rent will increase 3%. both the former director of property and the current director of property says the lease is at let's than $45 per

square foot, which means no appraisal is required. telecommunication leases are not usually rented on a square foot basis, but a used space, saying they look at the number of towers, antennas or microwave dishes. they look at how much equipment you have, where exactly on the building is the equipment, on the side or on the roof. all of those considerations are taken into account when determining a rent for a telecommunications lease rather than an office lease, which goes by square foot. i will also note that the city has over 20 antennas on the roof and 2 radio rooms. in conversations with a broker, i was told that there are no similar leases in the city because no one has that much equipment on top of a roof in downtown or on a building such

as one market plaza. other city leases on private property, that we have on private property buildings and one at 564 market street, which is at $41 per square foot. if i had to calculate it out, we would be be at $26 per square foot. we're below fair market value. the department is still responsible for their own ewe utilities. we urge you to approve with a positive recommendation. mr. christopher chamberlain is here if you have any programming questions. >> thank you very much, can we get a b.l.a. report please. is this to approve the lease for one year, through may 2020, and

then two five year extensions to may 2030. the city has been at this location since 1997. in 2015, the m.t.a. was added to this lease. originally it was just other telecommunicati telecommunication equipment and the rent went up at that time and the discussions we had with real estate over the negotiations of this lease, it's true that it looks different than how leases are described in the admin code, in terms of requiring appraisals for fair market value. it's a little bit difficult to evaluate the cost of the lease based on square footage, because this is only 700-square foot. there are also coasts on how they stretch their leases for the antenna and other equipment. they did have cbrb go out and find comparable rent.

we did receive the report from c.b.r.e. and we consider this to be a reasonable rent for the first year of the lease. there's a 3% per year increase in the rent over the term. it would be about 2.4 million over the 11 years and we recommend approval. >> thank you very much. colleagues any questions or comments? >> i do have one question, so it's not about the use of this because i think we made the case that we need to use this rooftop space to put a whole bunch of stuff on it. but, this is in violation of the administrative code that says the approval of a term of -- because it's been a holover for so long, my question is this is a holdover of more than one year, which is in the administrative code, but this is

a holdover of many, many years. what exactly is the criteria for a contract like this to be held over? >> so, i'm not going to throw the former director under the bus, but i took over this lease last summer when the former director left. my understanding of why there were so many difficulties is that one that the party we were negotiating with changed and then they changed again because the management company changed, so rather than recreating the wheel, he wanted to keep the wheel the same with several different parties. i think our policy, there is no formal written policy, that holdover rents at times, and the earlier one, i forget which one i just did, can be advantage -- advantageous to us. fair market rent is so much,

holdover rent can be 200% more, can be lower than the fair market rent. that is advantageous to the city and actually gives us an edge in negotiations with the landlord. so, we want to keep a holdover rent as long as we can, and they want us to get to a new fair market rent, which is higher. it's certainly not real estate's policy to have a holdover go this long. if at all, it would be used during negotiations, if we can't come to an negotiated extension or renewal lease. it's a useful tool to use to get the landlord to come to the table. so, i think is why the administrative code gives approval for one year, because that would seem to be ample time. >> yes, holdover rents are month

to month, and not to get into semantics, but it can go on the it's lower than 15,000 or whatever it is per months, and it can't go over ten years, but i agree, we shouldn't have allowed this to go on as long as it did. our policy is maybe a few months at a time. certainly we want to be in leases and we usually want to be in leases that are more than a year at a time. >> how many holdover leases do you have now? >> i do not know. >> is it possible to find that number or any other ones in violation of the administrative code? >> i can fine both those items. >> should i continue this item until the next meeting so you can bring forth that information or do you think that you will be able to e-mail our offices, everyone in this committee about two things, one is how many holdover leases you currently have and how many do you have in violation of the administrative code. >> i can certainly give you those numbers to the second,

although i know it seems like anything that's a month to month, that it goes over a year would be in violation. i don't know if that's necessarily the city attorney's position, so i can't comment on that, but i certainly can get you those two numbers before next week and i wouldn't want this particular lease to bare the brunt of being continued because of my failure to not know those numbers. >> okay, thank you. i'm going to request that you actually e-mail from your office that there are three offices with that information, and let's open this up for public comment. are there any members of the public that like to comment on this item. seeing none, public comment is now closed. i would like to move this to the board with a positive recommendation. can we take that without objection? thank you very much. >> there are no further items. >> thank you very much. this meeting is adjourned.

[♪] >> there weren't really any real funding structures available at that time, so we started out in civic centre. we always wanted to find our way back. the temporary navigation center at south van ness and around 22 nd street allowed us to start a small pilot program over there. leadership told us that we may get an impact on the area in cleanliness and community. those who have been vehemently

opposed to the center became even more angrier when it was taken down. folks at the north end of the mission saw what was going on and eric who you will hear from in a few minutes, saw our impact , he asked us what we can do closer for 16th and mission with $5,000. it wasn't much, but the funding and the excitement generated by him and the program helped us hold out until the end of the fiscal year. when the team and supervisor ronen's office give us funding to expand throughout the mission [applause] >> our team in the mission has grown from a tiny four person team, all the way to a 30 member cohort that works daily to clean the area stretching from division street, down to 24th street. and from valencia, all the way to harrison. it is incredible how much they've accomplished in these past five months, and it

wouldn't have been possible without community momentum from neighbors like sean case, a raised awareness of our team and pushed rest in his neighborhood outside of coronado park, about three blocks down. our vision is to build -- to bring clean, beautiful streets, to end homelessness in the mission, and to tear down the barriers to community that exists between the least and the most franchised. we are on our way, and we are going to get there with your help. and now, i have the pleasure of introducing layer breed who has been a champion -- mayor breed who has been a champion since the beginning. [cheers and applause] >> thank you. really glad to be here. i also wanted to mention that yes, there was an ad back provided for this program to extend the downtown streets team to the mission, to this incredible neighborhood, but our

office, through the fix-it department gave a quarter of a million dollars to downtown streets team to make sure that we provided the appropriate funding so this program can expand. this is not just about jobs, it is not just about clean streets, this is about our city. this is about taking care of our city, it is also about making sure that people have opportunities to get housing, people have opportunities to get services, people have opportunities to do jobs to that allow them dignity. we want to make sure we have a thriving city, and it takes a lot of work, and it does take a village, doesn't it, donna? it takes a village. it takes a village to make sure that everyone in our city has an opportunity to be part of this incredible program. i want to think downtown streets , because you do the important work, so many of you

volunteer your time, so many of you are out there cleaning the streets, but you are also engaged in conversations with neighbors, with merchants, and it is really creating this incredible feeling in san francisco. you are the ambassadors of the city. you represent our city everywhere you go, and i have to tell you, i see those yellow shirts everywhere downtown in san francisco. [applause] >> i know we have our challenges , and i know the income inequality gap has widened like never before. which is why it is going to be important that we move aggressively to build more housing. that is one of the reasons why we are putting a 500 million-dollar affordable housing bond on the ballot this november. it is also why i am proposing a chart amendment to build 100% affordable housing and 100%

teacher housing as of right. no more bureaucracy, no more delays, no more not in my backyard. if we are going to really address what we know are serious challenges in this city, we have to build more housing, especially affordable housing in every corner of san francisco. i don't want to see the next generation who grew up in san francisco like nikita and i, where our friends in our family cannot afford to live here anymore. this program, yes, it is important, but housing and making sure that people have the dignity of a safe, affordable place to call home is equally important, and i'm committed to making sure that as we expand programs like downtown streets and we continue to clean up our safety, we also have places for people who work in our city to afford to live here, too. that is a critical part of making sure that we are really a

diversity. that we invest in the people of san francisco, so i am just excited to be here today, and to say thank you to fill ginsburg with recreation and park, to the fix-it team, to do the department of public works, to all of the volunteers and community members, and i will say that d.p.w. and the downtown streets team, they can't do it alone. it is all of our responsibility to take care of our city. so let's roll up our sleeves, let's get to work, let's make san francisco a more green and clean city, more than anyplace else in the rest of the country. thank you also much for being here today. [cheers and applause] >> now i want to take the opportunity to introduce your supervisor, hillary ronen. [cheers and applause] >> thank you so much.

it is such a pleasure to be here on this gorgeous, gorgeous day. i love downtown streets team! i want to tell you a story. so i don't know if you guys saw it there or read it in the media reports, but for a good part of the year, the barge director and i cleaned the 16th street b.r.t. station because he needed help, but also because we're trying to make a point that they didn't have enough full-time workers at that station to keep it a dignified place for everyone. and it was a mess. it was a mess. every week when we got there we would fill up garbage containers after garbage container of trash and one day we got there and it was spotless. it was so beautiful and we were so confused, and we said what is going on here? we found out that a private

citizen who has an office across the street from the bart plaza had given a grant to downtown streets team to work in that area, and oh, my gosh, you changed the entire atmosphere and the entire feeling of that area, and i got an upfront view of the tremendous work that you do for the city. it is changing lives, it is changing our feeling about this city, and we love you for it, so much so. as the mayor said, she prioritized in the city budget expanding downtown streets team to many parts of the mission, and i could not be more grateful to her, and more grateful to you for doing this tremendous work. you are amazing, we love you, keep it up. thank you so much. [cheers and applause]

>> all right, now it is my pleasure to introduce community partner eric rodenbeck. [cheers and applause] >> hi. my office is at 16th and mission, it has been for 18 years, and about a year ago, i decided it was time to stop complaining and start doing something about it, so when i started calling and sending pictures about what was going on in the plaza, you started come out and clean himself. the bart supervisor was showing up at 16th and mission with a broom. asserts a tiny little changes, small things like making sure that the closet to bart is locked, and then small contributions to allow amazing groups like the downtown streets team to do their work. there's nothing like the power of committed individuals to clean up a place and make a positive difference.

i want to thank the mayor mayor and supervisor for their support there are people in this town who have answers to what our most pressing questions are, and our most pressing problems. there are solutions that we can implement together in ways that are equitable, in ways that don't displace people, and let us hold true to our san francisco values. i encourage you to come down to the 16th and mission plaza and see the work that the amazing group of people are doing here. it is a radically transformed situation, and i can't thank you enough. from the bottom of my heart, thank you. [cheers and applause] >> i wanted to share a couple of stats before i invite our last speaker up because they are so exciting. so since we launched with the city funding in the mission, nine folks have gotten employment already on our small team. [applause] >> three folks have been house. altogether in the mission, we

have already removed 300,000 pounds of trash. it's pretty incredible. finally, we have picked up 2,458 needles from the streets, it is such important work that our folks are doing, and they're working so hard. with that, it is my pleasure to introduce our purple shirt, team supervisor, who looks after our entire mission team. and without whom this program would not run half as smoothly or with half the amount of love that it does. [cheers and applause] [cheering] >> dsd! >> family, i see all the hard work that you do, i she you get up at 7:00 a.m. in the morning to come here, and i see how much

effort that you put into it, you know, my job as a supervisor, but my job -- also i am your friend, you can come and talk to me. when i talked to the team members, they tell me, they say darrell, you know, i'm really tired of sleeping in a tent, and when they tell me that, i get sad, and his they say, darrell, what do you think we could do about this housing crisis? and i say, you know, i really don't know, but what i believe, i believe, i want to believe that this is the best country in the world. i want to believe that this is the best city in the world. but one thing that i do believe, i do believe that if we come

together as one, we can fix this thank you for coming, thank you, mayor breed. [cheers and applause]. >> we have one more thing, you know, we honor our team members and this guy has gone beyond in everything that we're all about at dst. he is a reflection of what we are about, and that is saving lives, helping people. meeting him where they are at. so i want to present this green shirt, my friend and my co- volunteer worker, bobby. come on up here and get this award. [cheers and applause] >> way to work it, bobby.

>> i'm surprised. [laughter] >> i thought i would make the green shirt at the meeting. anyway, i'm kind of nervous, but i know how it is on the streets because i have been there myself , and right now, i can get a job if i want to, and nine to five job, but right now, i am just giving back to my community , and the four hours that i am doing is helping me. it has helped me because i see myself. i have been there on the streets it is helping me remember my past and helping somebody to get themselves back on their feet. this -- they may not take our cards, or i tell them where to meet, but every little bit helps anyway, thank you, guys, thank you for showing up. thank you.
