it does have to meet the california building code seismic, you know, whatever, structural. and the other thing i heard was the valuation, and it can be reviewed. it looks like it's a small enough house to begin with, getting a small addition. but 125,000 is low. that can always be raised before it can be done on a correction notice voluntarily by the permit holder. a lot of people -- sometimes architects put that down or someone just on their behalf. it could be double that, probably. depends on the interior work that's being done, as well. so on the demolition, obviously, we spoke on that before, as well. if they end up exceeding the scope of demolition that's shown on the approved plans, or if they get into a situation where they're potentially seeing inferior framing that is

shown on the plans to remain, and it can't because it's inferior, they should contact the department of building inspection, get an inspector out there, we will actually issue an inspection notice. the project would have to go back to planning, and that changes the democounts, and that's a process that we have in place for those types of projects. we're trying to get away from people saying oh, it was rotten. we just took it down and ask for forgiveness. we're actually calling people ahead of time and making sure they don't get into that situation. this sounds like they may, based on some of the comments that i've heard tonight with framing and touch -- with soil and contact with wood, that's never a good thing. so with that, i'd say it's a good enough permit, as long as they go down the line and

follow the process. >> commissioner honda: so joe, is there no excavation here? >> i don't know, to be honest. i didn't see the drawings, and -- >> commissioner honda: and i'm satisfied that because they've gone through the process here that the building department will follow through because we realize how important it is, especially when you're doing retaining walls, excavation, how important it is to make sure -- >> yeah. it's a vertical addition, so there's definitely structural work to be done, whether they're being made to do a new foundation, i don't know that just yet. i can review the plans and get you a rebuttal on that. >> commissioner honda: you get a second swing on that, and you have 9:42. >> clerk: thank you. is there any public comment on this item? >> commissioner honda: come on up. good evening and welcome. >> thank you. i'm glad you're all able to

retain your sense of human. my name is amy kyle. i filed a card. i live in between mr. greeman in between the two houses he constructed, so i know a lot -- about impacts, not construction. and i'm going to speak to the flood issue because part of my back yard is the exposed bedrock, and part of my hill is really steep hill. there's a cluster of houses at the corner, and the hill. and it's so steep. it's so steep, they don't mow it. they just send the goats up. you just see the water moving on it all the time, so i have flooding issues. before they fixed it, the

reservoir leaked, and we'd see a lot of water. but it kind of comes to the corner. it's a chute sort of down toward our corner, so the hill goes in both directions. the street that goes up past my house goes up the hill, and then gladys goes up this hill, and the water will kind of concentrate that way. so i'm concerned about that, and i'm concerned about this project because we keep seeing drawings that maybe aren't quite showing everything, you know? this has sort of been -- happened before, and we raised this issue earlier, and oh, no, that's not a thing. i think it is a thing, and you only have to look at the project to be worried about the condition of that foundation. so, you know, the prior hearing doesn't really make me feel too much better about how everything will be taken care of by the system. will it? i don't know. i think there's a lot of peril

with this project because everything's a zero lot line. this thing is already occupying fully what's supposed to be the set back, and we're just hoping this'll get figured out later. you know, i'm pretty doubtful that that's going to happen, so i hope you take the closest possible look here, you know, and give us some assurance that this isn't going to cause our houses ultimately to fall down if water leaks through or, you know, all these walls that are really not -- i mean, you can look at it and see it. they're not well constructed now or maybe not all going to be replaced or whatever. so i'm not an engineer, i'm not an expert, but i am concerned about the way this has all come forward and what the impacts are going to be and whether we're going to be back here in five years saying this is a colossal mess that no one can fix. >> commissioner honda: thank you. >> clerk: thank you. is there any other public

comment? >> yes, i have one. >> commissioner honda: come on up. the price is right. >> i'll be short and sweet. >> commissioner honda: it's okay. >> i live next to david, one door up. my issue is about the reservoir because i have problems in my garage with the reservoir. i have a river running through, and i'm very concerned about my property. i just wish if he's going to build, that they really look into that because i'm just two doors up. and my second concern is the way he wants to build, i have a living room window. he'll look right in on me, so i'm concerned with privacy. i'm 75 years old, and i live my myself, so think did suggest things for him to make the building a little different, that everyone would be happy, and he refused to do that. and so, you know, those are my concerns as a resident on

gladys street. that's it. >> commissioner honda: thank you very much. >> clerk: ma'am? ma'am? will you please fill out a speaker card? thank you. >> commissioner honda: we're requesting your auto graph. >> clerk: is there any other public comment on this matter? we just need your name so it reflects accurately in our minutes. is there any other public comment? okay. we'll move on to rebuttal, and we'll hear from mr. greeman first. >> well, i can see where everyone's coming. they keep telling me they're going to catch it, 16, 16 d.b.i. they're going to catch it if the diagrams were accurate, but they're not. if someone had said -- can we have this on the screen, please. if that was listed as being a demo, that wouldn't have gone through 1660.

that's a demo, too because it's up against soil. had they accurately depicted, and they should have known an architect who's been working in this city for two decades would know that wood up against soil isn't going to fly. i don't want to use the word lie -- i guess i just did, but i think it's really deceptive to send a plan in with wood up against soil on concrete that's been observed to be repaired and capped in a 1941 building, to add a full load on a floor with a wraparound deck with a life human load and claim to 1660 that's going to remain. my biggest fear is they go in there, they discover the conditions, and it's red tagged during the construction. i live two buildings up from

the applicant. i was broken into five times. insurance is more when you're in construction. i'm terrified that you're going to go -- discover sure enough that it is in fact a demo, because it is. there is no way to support those floors while cutting away 5 feet of floor to put up that wall. when you do put up the wall, i really, really hope you do what your engineer said. a 12-inch drain, a stem wall that's ten, 12, 18 feet has to be 12 inches thick with rebar. must contain a footer that's 18 inches thick. the rebar must extend 12 inches out to connect with the rebar on your rat pad.

it's not true they're only doing certain facade differences. that's a demo, too, on their diagram, so all this is wrecked. this is a demo, period. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. >> commissioner honda: thank you. >> clerk: we will now hear from the attorney for mr. donofrio. >> good evening, commissioners. thank you very much for your patience on what i'm sure has been a long evening for you. we have an incorrect scope of demolition depicted and an incorrect story count, even an incorrect cost of what this story is going to cost. most significantly, the concern is that the removal of the eastern wall, which as we've

heard from mr. duffy if it's wood against soil could create problems. the removal of that wall raises significant demolition and float stability issues. and yes, these are issues that we have raised in other forums because of the concern about this uphill reservoir, the impact on neighboring properties. and what we were told by planning at the board of supervisors was that, "due to the on-site slope, the project is subject to heightened review by d.b.i.'s structural advisory committee." yet now we are hearing from mr. sanchez that planning didn't guarantee us that we're going to go to structural advisory committee. secondly, a geotechnical report would be required before a building permit was issued, yet we haven't seen any further geotechnical reports, so these are some real concerns about what has been analyzed for this project, and that's why we're asking for the permit to be

revoked. however, if the board is not minded to revoke the permit, we're ask that it be referred to d.b.i. structural advisory committee, and if they make a determination regarding the story count, the slope stability issue or the scope of demolition, it should then be referred back to planning. thank you very much for your time. >> commissioner honda: thank you. >> clerk: thank you. we will now hear from the permit holder. you have six minutes. >> i guess the only thing i want to respond to is the quote from the planner was, i think, an environmental planner who was speaking about his thought about what potentially might be required at d.b.i. it's not a d.b.i. representative, and it doesn't conflict with what we're saying here today, which is that d.b.i. will require everything to make sure it complies with safety requirements.

i think that everything, building permits, site permits is used interchangeably, but they're different things if you're filing a full building permit versus a site permit with a future agenda. so i'll stop there, and the team is here to answer any questions. >> commissioner honda: thank you. >> clerk: thank you. we'll now hear from the planning department. >> commissioner honda: come on, move it along. this is the last case. get it going, skippy. >> don't rush me. scott sanchez, planning department. what's shown on the plans is not a demolition. the appellant had highlighted something on the plans that he had stated was a demolition. there were separate hashed lines that depict parking space, but that's not shown being demolished on the plans. anything that's below grade does not count towards section 317 calculations, so even if all those retaining walls need

to be replaced, that doesn't count toward 317. i think this board has heard these issues before, and people will come up and claim it's a demolition. >> commissioner honda: first time. >> if anybody wants to be out in front of that, it's the sponsor usually after the department has reviewed conditions generally not very favorably in several cases going back to what was there before or often wanting to go back to what was there when the building was first built. so it was quite a serious matter. and maybe the project sponsor wants to address some of their thoughts and methodology in greater detail, but you know what's shown on the plans as shown to not be a demolition because mr. buskovic notes, we have a process for this. and we do have a process for

this. if there are changes to be made, there's a process for that. if work is done without a permit out in the field, i think that this project will be very well monitored by the neighbors and if there is demolition -- or if even this is a demolition beyond what was approved, there'll probably be complaints about it, and there'll be inspections, investigations. i'm sure there'll be a close eye on it, and if issues are found that it is a demolition, it'll go back to the planning commission and require a conditional use authorization, and that'll be the process. >> commissioner honda: thank you. >> commissioner tanner: one question around the hydrology issues and drainage issues, i imagine there are requirements that properties deal with drain age issues -- that properties

deal with drain age issues that are not on their property? >> that's a d.b.i. issue. >> clerk: okay. we will now hear from d.b.i. >> joe duffy, d.b.i. asking d.b.i. to do a s.a.c. review, if it falls under that type of project, our process would catch that, which is good. i can't tell you people what to do, but a s.a.c. review -- >> commissioner honda: attorneys do it all the time. >> well, when it's not required, it's a little unfair on a permit holder. i would imagine it's just trying to put a team together. if it does fall under any category, whether it's s.a.c.,

when it's slope stablity, when you put an address in our section, you click on restrictions, it'll show you restrictions and slope stablity, and no doubt what mr. sanchez said, there's a lot of eyes on this project. i doubt it will be missed. you had a question. >> commissioner tanner: public drain age, during public testimony time, some folks are concerned with drain age in the area which would be seem to be the permit holder's issue other than the fact that they might suffer from it, as well. can you speak to how we address drain age from one property to the other or what would be required? >> yes. it's a very good question. basically, everyone's responsible for their own drainage. as mr. sanchez said, you can't drain on somebody's property. unfortunately, it's going to drain downhill.

there are occasions -- in this project, for example, if there's drainage, they're going to have to take care of it, the retaining wall, anything like that, they're going to have to take care of it. water can't run from their property on to somebody's property. there may be something just because of the area, and for the lady that got up and said she's got water coming through her garage, she's got a water cable table or something, i would imagine. there's ways she can address that. it may be coming from a neighbor, and she can file a complaint if she thinks there is. if she has clear indication that water it coming over a property line from somebody else's property. >> commissioner tanner: sounds like it may be coming from p.u.c. property to other people's property, so that may be the issue.

>> clerk: thank you. commissioners, this matter's submitted. >> commissioner tanner: i have not heard any testimony that would lead me to believe this permit was not properly issued. i would move to deny the appeal. >> commissioner honda: just because i was smiling and making jokes does not mean that i'm not taking this as a serious matter. this particular project has undergone quite a bit of process and just by the amount of dollars per hour in this room, i think there is going to be a significant amount of eyes watching this project alongside with the departments which whether we like or don't like, we have to have faith in our city departments and their abilities to make things happen, and so i would concur with my fellow commissioner. >> vice president lazarus: as would i, i'm content to let the normal processes take their place because i haven't heard

anywhere here tonight that would encourage me to revoke the site permit. >> commissioner tanner: and just to the woman, you gave testimony just wondering how things would be caught in light of the previous cases, 20-year ongoing permit. i think that's very much on the outside and the outlier of our permit system. what will happen, it will be graded and more studies, as mr. duffy said, related to the project. when we say we'll catch things, it's not that we hope it, it goes through a much more scrutinous review. that's why we have faith in it and most of the time, it does work. >> clerk: okay. so we have a motion from commissioner tanner to deny the appeal and uphold the permit on the basis that it was properly issued. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: okay. so that motion carries, 3-0, and this adjourns the meeting.

[gavel]. >> clerk: thank you. >> right before the game starts, if i'm still on the field, i look around, and i just take a deep breath because it is so exciting and magical,

not knowing what the season holds holds is very, very exciting. it was fast-paced, stressful, but the good kind of stressful, high energy. there was a crowd to entertain, it was overwhelming in a good way, and i really, really enjoyed it. i continued working for the grizzlies for the 2012-2013 season, and out of happenstance, the same job opened up for the san francisco giants. i applied, not knowing if i would get it, but i would kick myself if i didn't apply. i was so nervous, i never lived anywhere outside of fridays know, andfridays -- fresno, and i got an interview.

and then, i got a second interview, and i got more nervous because know the thought of leaving fresno and my family and friends was scary, but this opportunity was on the other side. but i had to try, and lo and behold, i got the job, and my first day was january 14, 2014. every game day was a puzzle, and i have to figure out how to put the pieces together. i have two features that are 30 seconds long or a minute and a 30 feature. it's fun to put that altogetl r together and then lay that out in a way that is entertaining for the fans. a lucky seat there and there, and then, some lucky games that include players. and then i'll talk to lucille, can you take the shirt gun to the bleachers. i just organize it from top to

bottom, and it's just fun for me. something, we don't know how it's going to go, and it can be a huge hit, but you've got to try it. or if it fails, you just won't do it again. or you tweak it. when that all pans out, you go oh, we did that. we did that as a team. i have a great team. we all gel well together. it keeps the show going. the fans are here to see the teams, but also to be entertained, and that's our job. i have wonderful female role models that i look up to here at the giants, and they've been great mentors for me, so i aspire to be like them one day. renelle is the best. she's all about women in the workforce, she's always in our

corner. [applause] >> i enjoy how progressive the giants are. we have had the longer running until they secure day. we've been doing lgbt night longer than most teams. i enjoy that i work for an organization who supports that and is all inclusive. that means a lot to me, and i wouldn't have it any other way. i wasn't sure i was going to get this job, but i went for it, and i got it, and my first season, we won a world series even if we hadn't have won or gone all the way, i still would have learned. i've grown more in the past four years professionally than i think i've grown in my entire adult life, so it's been eye opening and a wonderful learning

shop and dine on the 49 promotes local businesses and challenges residents to do shopping and dining within the 49 square miles of san francisco by supporting local services within neighborhood. we help san francisco remain unique, successful and vibrant. where will you shop and dine in the 49? san francisco owes the charm to the unique character of the neighborhood comer hall

district. each corridor has its own personality. our neighborhoods are the engine of the city. >> you are putting money and support back to the community you live in and you are helping small businesses grow. >> it is more environmentally friendly. >> shopping local is very important. i have had relationships with my local growers for 30 years. by shopping here and supporting us locally, you are also supporting the growers of the flowers, they are fresh and they have a price point that is not imported. it is really good for everybody. >> shopping locally is crucial. without that support, small

business can't survive, and if we lose small business, that diversity goes away, and, you know, it would be a shame to see that become a thing of the past. >> it is important to dine and shop locally. it allows us to maintain traditions. it makes the neighborhood. >> i think san francisco should shop local as much as they can. the retail marketplace is changes. we are trying to have people on the floor who can talk to you and help you with products you are interested in buying, and help you with exploration to try things you have never had before. >> the fish business, you think it is a piece of fish and fisherman. there are a lot of people working in the fish business,

between wholesalers and fishermen and bait and tackle. at the retail end, we about a lot of people and it is good for everybody. >> shopping and dining locally is so important to the community because it brings a tighter fabric to the community and allows the business owners to thrive in the community. we see more small businesses going away. we need to shop locally to keep the small business alive in san francisco. >> shop and dine in the 49 is a cool initiative. you can see the banners in the streets around town. it is great. anything that can showcase and legitimize small businesses is a wonderful thing.

i want to thank all of our partners here today, city around county, mayor's office, all candidates, thank you for being here. i want to turn it over to my associate and friend, ms. joyce. >> is it afternoon now? >> good morning, everyone. welcome to visitation valley. we want to thank you all for coming out this morning. we are so excited and so happy. these job fairs keep getting better and better, and i especially want to thank joshua, the mayor's office. a wonderful wrong man working to make sure we all have opportunities.

[applause.] >> good afternoon. this is what a hiring fair is supposed to look like. sunnydale is on fire. i want more energy and excitement from this room. good afternoon. there we go. you know, we do hire fairs all the time throughout the year in various communities, and one of the things that i always used to stress when i used to work for community developers was i don't want to just have a job stair -- job fair to check boxes to say we had a bunch of people show up and nobody has a job. having focus hiring fairs with

employers engaged with community having conversations and people walk away with jobs, interviews, something tangible to continue to be excited, continue to work hard to get connected to jobs is important. i want to say this is what a hiring fair is supposed to look like. [applause.] we have several employers, several community-based organizations in attendance. we have folks working hard in the community. oewd, airport is here. police department is here, we have -- thank you so much for hosting, city build out on the ground every day. i saw judy here and a lot of community partners, but one of the things i love is when our resident leaders come out and participate and actually set an

example for the community. i want to thank our resident leaders here from our public housing communities. these are the folks that advocate on behalf of the community and 99-point% of the time they are doing it because they care about community from their heart. it is not like they are making money doing this work. i want to thank everybody. i want to thank all of you for coming out. we are going to continue to work hard to address the issues of unemployment across the city, and even though we have a very low unemployment rate in san francisco. we know in isolated counties in the southeast sector unemployment rate is much higher for people of color, people with disabilities, people in the lbgt community and low income community and folks having a hard time getting jobs. we want to change that. it is good to see when city

departments come together, when communities come together, but most importantly, when folks from the community come to focus on engaging in working with opportunities that are available. we are going to continue to do more of these across the district, across the city. i am excited to see sunny dale fired up and to see the room packed. we have people ready to go to work. welcome to g10, welcome to sunnydale. let's get folks connected to jobs. thank you so much. >> thank you supervisor. i was so excited, i didn't introduce myself. i am joyce armstrong proud president of phta. i want to give a shout out to the sunnydale residents. we worked hard to make sure we sat rated that development. they are going through

transition of a new community built for them, and we want to make sure we support them as much as we can. i also have my fellow board members here. the treasurer and monaco, the vice president. we have our esteemed commissioner ms. mary ann pikes. she is a resident of sunnydal sy sunnydale. we had the leadership here but they had meetings. this is when they do community meetings. we just want to thank you for all coming out. we want to thank the san francisco public housing, our director is here somewhere, tanya is the in executive director of the san francisco housing authority. we are under transition. we have our president of the --

where is the president of the commission as well as josh's boss? porsche is going from community to community, connected with us and some of the other residents that are here. i am so happy this keeps getting better and better. i thought josh was going to have a heart attack. he goes 110% about any project the that he is working on. we want to thank him again. once again. we are phea at 1815 egbert street to keep low income housing. affordable is good, but we need 30% of income housing.

i do want to add that they were appointed to the shipyard by may or ed lee. we are working hard. it represents all of district 10, not just bayview. when they do candlestick point there will be jobs, opportunities, a movie theater, a hotel. we wish they would build a casino. we haven't heard about that. that would bring revenue. i know i would. i would like to have a casino here. momy goodness. hope sf. is there anybody else i should acknowledge? don't give me a microphone, i will go on and on. once again, we want to thank you. [applause.]

>> i need a shout out to my c.e.o. faces sf and all of the others here are partners as well. we have mission hiring hall, s.f.m.t.a., project level, in the house, yes. lake view in the house. goodwill in the house. we have our access points in the house. we also have commissioners throughout from various commissions as well as board of directors. thank you for supporting us. i need for you candidates to make sure you connect with the employers. amazon needs 100,000 people in the next 12 months. i think danada60 people.

[applause.] >> listen, for the best part of the day except for this event, i would like to tell you that this woman fights for us. she gets jobs for us.

she is one of us. it is my delight to bring on the honorable mayor london breed. [applause.] >> mayor breed: i am so excited to be here. let me just say that we know here in san francisco we are lucky, right? we have a 1.8% unemployment rate, but, sadly, we have so many people who can't get access to so many opportunities in san francisco. i have made it my mission to make sure that we are bringing the opportunities that exist to the city to the communities that traditionally don't get access to these opportunities. the thing is we know what the numbers have said for decades in terms of this particular community having some of the

highest unemployment rates in our city, and more specifically, the african-american community having some of the highest unemployment rates in san francisco. we know what the data has always said. now we have to do something different to change that. we have to meet people where they are. we have to go into the communities and bring the opportunities to the people who need them in these communities. that is why we are here today. we just opened a job center in omi exce area. go see ms. brown in that area. this is one of the first times we have done something like this here. this cannot be the last. it is important to be consistent. the woman in the back who is going to do training opportunities and helping people

with city employment opportunities, she is going to come here every other month. every other month to make sure that if someone is looking for a city job which provides good healthcare and benefits for retirement, let's make sure you have someone to work with you to help you understand the complicated city process to get one of those jobs. i have started opportunities for all, a program to provide paid internships for all high school students in san francisco because i wanted to make sure that our kids growing up in communities all over san francisco don't fall through the cracks. that is an amazing program which is really done a tremendous thing in opening up doors all over san francisco for so many city departments and also the private sector. we have to take it a step

further for people who are adults now who are looking for opportunities. there are so many jobs in san francisco and the bay area. this is an opportunity to connect people who may decide they want to do something different in life. people may be retired but want to generate extra income. people who want kids to move out so they want them to get their jobs to pay their own rent. that means that we have to continue to invest in these communities. we have to get out thereinto the community, and i have to tell you i am overwhelmed buyer the number of people here and so appreciative of the different city departments and agencies and the public sector folks. i just talked to a gentleman who got hired on the spot. that makes me feel real good.

[applause.] >> when we talk about income and equality, when we talk about the achievement gap in the public schools, when we talk about all these things, this is just one small way to do something about it. today we are changing o how we o business in san francisco. we are changing how we do business in san francisco. i want to just leave you with one last thing. when the door is open for you, don't shut it behind you. open the door for the next person. when you are in those job opportunities and you hear about something and no someone looking, then make sure you reach back and help someone who is looking for an opportunity, too. make sure that when you are working in these various industries you put your all into your work, that you do a good job and make your family and community proud. if you want be to start your own

business or anything else that you put your all into it. i want to change the future of san francisco, and changing the future of san francisco starts today. it starts with making sure that anyone in this room who came for a second chance or an opportunity or a career change or anything else for that nature that you have an opportunity walking out this door to do whatever it is you want to do. that is what today is about. i want to thank the public defender's office for being here as well. they are here to talk to anyone who, for example, may have challenges with their past and need some assistance inning what to do. they are here to work with you on record expunging and whatever you need. we have done a lot of things in the city. let me break it down so you can understand some of the laws

that, basically, that we got rid of to make it easier to get rid of barriers to employment. when you say you don't have a driver's license or you have something on your record or owe some money. in san francisco we have given everyone a clean slate so you can get your license without paying excessive fees. go and check that. i am really proud we have been able to do that. also, we don't discriminate when it comes to employment. if it is working for the city or any other company that does accident in san francisco against people who may have done something in their past that is following them and preventing them from seeking out opportunities. we have gotten rid of a lot of those things that get in the way of a job. don't just walk away or give up. make sure you ask someone. there are so many people who

want you to succeed. we want everyone here to talk to whoever they feel they want to talk to, ask the questions they want to ask so you can get the results to change your life. thank you all so much for being here. thank you to our work force director, josh, just in case you don't find something here that works for you, call josh directly. he will pick you up, take you shopping to get you an outfit to do interviews. i want to also thank joyce armstrong and the pca. joyce is a leader for all of our developments around san francisco. she has been incredible to make sure resources are delivered to residents of public housing throughout san francisco. thank you marlene tran

forgetting the word out as well. thank you, drew, i hope you brought your kids to get them employed as well. i want be to touch on something else. i know this is a job fair. i want to introduce you to james caldwell who is working in the mayor's office now. some of you already know him, but part of what he is going to focus on is dealing with the challenges around violence in our communities. whether it is any of the shootings that occur, some of the issues around the senior community who have been attacked or what have you, we have got to change what happens in the community. it starts with us holding our families and kids accountable to keep each other safe. we have to look out for someone another. anyone wants grandma to walk

down the street without worries. we have to start working on the community. james is an important part. he used to work with sdip. he will work with this community. not only do we want you to thrive in the work force, we want you to thrive in life and feel safe in your community. thank you, james for being here. thank you big rich and daniel forgetting the word out to the community. we will do these job fairs in all sorts of neighborhoods that have never had these before. we will not do them just once. we will come back time and time again. if there is anything you need when we are not here, again, joyce has the phone number, drew has the phone number. folks around here can call anytime. it is really time to change the future of san francisco and make sure that no one is left behind, and i need this community to do

your part in working with us to make sure that we are investing in the things that you care about the most and this community needs the most, especially as we do rebuilding of sunnydale, make the changes we need. we want this community intact and that is what i am committed to doing. have fun today, get a job, help somebody get a job and thank you all so much for turning out for us today. >> mayor breed, before you leave i have a special guest. because of the mayor's vision, what came to fruition was the city drive program. 300 were laid off. mayor breed's vision and they went to s.f.m.t.a. i have a city drive candidate to

speak on behalf of city drive. >> it is an honor. i am emotionally devastated. my husband and i both lost our jobs. then the mayor came and spoke to us, and she put in some help for us. we received help from owd, faces sf to apply to muni. we were taught classes for

license. ithey drove us at 5:00 in the morning for the test. i felt the support from the mayor. she took the time and effort to help us in time of need. as a result, currently i drive a trolley coach in san francisco and i am loving it. (applause). >> from one loving family to another, thank you very much. [applause.] >> muni is hiring still so good job, good benefits, good retirement and part of what we will do is help support you

throughout the city drive academy, right? we also know that sometimes the challenge with people going through these programs is they can't afford to participate in the program. that is something that we are trying to change so that money is never a barrier to an opportunity that can help change your life. as someone who basically came from a community. as you know you grew up in fillmore, and the challenges there in the public housing i live in, it was really hard to see so many friends and family end up going down the wrong path because of lack of opportunity. that was so important to me. when we have an opportunity to change someone's life, we have to put fort the resources they need to succeed. not just put them in the program, pay them in the

programming, make sure they have money for transportation so they don't leave the program. we have to change how we support people if we want them to succeed that is the goal today. i am excited to see one of my dreams come alive in serving this incredible community. again, get a job and take care of mommy and daddy and have fun today. thank you so much. [applause.] >> thank you so much, mayor. now, i need everybody to get a job. we have employers here. we are interviewing. get the interview card and go to the second floor and get interviewed. the jobs are here. thank you everyone.

good morning everybody. thank you. it brings me such joy, gratitude, pleasure to welcome you to the re-dedication of ellis gardens. i hope you will join me in welcoming to the podium our mayor, london breed.
