with the homelessness, not only with the drugs, but even with the fireworks. you can be a commission and just think that you know, you're going to be involved with policy making and running your mouth on mundane issue while the citizens of san francisco, are suffering because the quality of issues have gone to the hogs. the citizens but we need to do this on a raw footing. and that is where the military comes, not the military per se, but who has commanders, we need a commander who can do who can lead the emergency services.

and work with the commissioners, not all of you but some of you all, so you really know how to run a first class city. today this is not a first class city. because people from all over the world are writing to me about it, thank you very much. >> thank you, caller. >> good evening, caller, you have two minutes. >> hello my name is cindy guzman i'm coordinateeter for the relations, i'm calling on the police commission to consider a proposed ordinance brought by a commissioner carter overstone who was introduced back in february and community groups are overwhelmingly.

still has not yet. we want the commission to recognize the urgency of this. you know the fact that there are racial disparity in stops by police, the fact that if you only have 5% of the population in san francisco, the african-american about 27% out of the stops are of african-american that there is racial bias associated with these types of stops. and you know, we can also see that when we have these types of stops, that increases the chance of potential violence, on community members. shots to the body and, you know, and this was as a result,

you can see that the community is very much concerned about that. and one of the things that we have a sizable community located in san francisco, one of the reasons for pretext stops could be if you have to continue from the rear view mirrors and a lot of them have. like clearviews, hanging from their rear view mirrors, but it has been used as a course stopping form to the community members. including one of my close friends that that has happened to. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller, you have two minutes. >> hello my name is david, i'm a resident of district 1. the following is a quote from our founder if he--felicia zones, i'm going to call it what it is, anti blackness in terms of racial profiling.

i've grown tired of talking to commission and to the board of supervisors, what is the urgency? if the tables were turned, i know there would be an urgency, when are you going to address the hare much and unjust statistics which is your responsibility as you took an oath to uphold the law for all san franciscoians, i'm tired, not tired of to quit but tired of beating a dead horse. we sought help from attorney general. in quote, we understand the low level traffic stops which was just discussed by the brief color starting to be discussed among officials and take flight nationwide. often disparity has been demanding via traffic stops for months. the black san franciscoian is three times as likely to be

stropd for traffic stop. this is one of the worse black statistics anywhere. since the reform, the racial disparity level has gotten worse. routine traffic stops make up a large majority about two-thirds of stops. proven that they stop black people disproportionately and arrest black people even more disproportionately. it's long time to take them off their hands. would also like to understand how all matters related along the elimination as we have requested. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller you have two minutes. >> speaker: good evening, it's chairperson and members of the commission.

this is the amos brown, president of the san francisco aacp and baptist church of san francisco. i just talked as a pastor and civil rights advocacy, to pledge my support for holistic approach to the problem of crime and homelessness in the city. san francisco must be delivered from simpletic and realize that it takes all hands-on deck, loving mercy and welcome with their principals of their god. we can be better than who we are now. or we're too busy pointing fingers at the chief and at the commission. this needs to be a weighsing and if we don't know how to work together as dr. king said

we're all going to perish as fools. in black community, we have over our share of lawlessness, that's because of a lack of opportunity for the most part but in addition to that, we need to be firm about policing and professional and being compassionate in our communities to do the same in all other communities. we must work together if we're going to save the city and give o our report that he deserves considering the high professionalism that he has given us in this city.

>> good evening, chief, i'm avi fry. i'm here representing the aclu of northern california as a deputy director of criminal justice program and as a resident that it san francisco living in the mission district. i'm also calling to address what seems to delay in implementing stops in san francisco. on behalf of thousands of aclu khafter members in the city, we have worked tirelessly in community with other organizations and groups and it's been over a year since, an understanding was presented to the commission. it's been months since commissioner over stone presented the idea. the community is waiting to get this process under way.

there is no safety justification for continuing for stops and in the meantime, the delay is resulting in real harms. it's resulting in the hafsh to the community. and into violence and even death. and so on behalf of oufr members and our organizations, i ask for a greater sense of urgency in getting this off the ground before tragedy strikes again, thank you so much. >> thank you, caller. >> good evening, caller, you have two minutes. >> speaker: good evening, commissioners, this is from the public defender's office, i have the callers call for

urgency beginning the general order. that commission introduced two months ago. we still have weeks and months of working groups and town halls ahead of us, so it's dis heartening to see that we're not months away. but we do have a practical issue that i want to point out that i think the commission wants to claim quickly. seems to have disappeared from the commission website possibly because of the redesign. i'm asking that if you can make those public again so we can see the point coming from the community. thank you. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller you have two minutes. >> leslie senior, glide is proud member of the community driven coalition to end by stops which now representatives over 60 local organizations who

are united in our goal of pretech stops. some of my colleagues have called in this evening as well. i appreciate you prioritizing the addition. and we're hoping that it does proceed in a timely manner. this discussion has been formerly initialed, however we have yet to know about when the working groups will convene. i last asked the body on june 8th. we're looking to having a clear timeline and that includes a tentative list of dates and simultaneous town hall and a working group that incorporates the voices of community stakeholders and people who are impacted. because these racial disparity as said a couple of times this evening, they're persistent right now and the need to move quickly is doubly reinforced by san francisco ranks the worse in the state when it comes to

black rates. so we should proceed aggressively and no approach to addressing these harms. and i ask that we initial these process soon, thank you. >> thank you, caller. good evening, caller you have two minutes. >> good evening, this is proun, kurning my son who was murdered august 13th, 2006. to this day, he has his case has not been solved. and as a moerlt i'm still looking for justice for my son. cause is coming up right around the corner. and i'm still looking for justice and helping other

mothers and fathers who lost their children to homicide. as i call in for justice, and hoping that the police commission can expedite or do something for unsolved homicide. and with that, i thank you for listening to me. >> thank you, ms. brown. members of the public if you have any information on the murder of abry ana costa, you can call the hotline. thank you. >> thank you, very much next line please. >> line item 2, adoption of minutes for june 8th, 15, and 20th 2022.

chief scott. >> thank you, good evening, vice president and commission and director anderson. i'll start this week with the crime and i'll go into significant arrest and incidents. overall violent crime is over 6% homicide is down 4%. and other significant crime, robberies are up 1%. 14 robberies from this time last year. and results are up 12%. as far as property crime we are up a total of 7% over this time last year, 22372 property

crimes compared to to 951. the good news is we're down burglar's 25%. that's 29,015 compared to 29086. our biggest driver is lars re. lars reis up 16,2 19. included in that category with auto burglars which we're up 8% from this time last year. 10001, compared to 9264. although we have made some progress in reducing that percentage over the last couple of months which we're going to continue to do what we can to drive that number down. in terms of our violent crime ,z our gun violence is down

from last year, 121 incident last year, 103 total incident this year, difference of 15% decrease. come sides with firearms are down by 3. 17 this year compared to last year. and our non fatal shooting victims are down from 101 to 86 this year. homicide clearance rate is around 64%. year to date we did make a homicide arrest this week that i'll talk about shortly. in terms of the station break down the significant data is mission station leads the increase in homicides, they have 8 compared to 2 this time last year. they view as a decrease fromle this time last year to 4. northern is down by 1 from this time last year, park is down by 1, remains at 0.

terwell is up 2 nr 020 to* 2. and tender lauren is down from 3, from 6 last year to 3 this year. as far as our guns, we have ceased a total of 5 19 total guns this year. and of that, 217 are ghost guns, 91 of ghost guns. that's about. significant incident over this last reporting period, we did have two homicides for the weekend ending 3. one is 400 block of arrest there has not been a arrest. the victim was in the street unresponsive as officers arrived they conducted life

saving efforts which were unsuccessful. the victim died in the hospital from his injuriesment many heard gunshots and we are canvassed the area for private civilian cameras and we do have some information that we obtained on this case to follow-up. i'll give updates as this case progresses. the second homicide was on june 1 in the day view district at third street and khafter. the victim was lying on the ground next to him. initial statement by the vehicles prior to being identified. our video review from evidence that we collected showed that the victim was at a pizza parlor when he got into an argument with this unknown person.

the person that's been identified and arrested actually, was arrested the next day. and this was some really good work by our investigators who because they know the area, know the people in the area were able to actually put this case together very quickly and arrest the suspect for murder. so that was really good work by the investigators and the patrol officers in the case. the couple of shooters that happened in july fourth, 9:59 there was a shooting. she was struck by a bullet. no suspects were seen and no arrest were made. that is under investigation. victim was a street performer

was on the sidewalk when unshown suspect shattered on the foot. we do have follow-up information that we're looking into and hopefully we'll make progress in that case. shooting in the fourth, was in the 200 block of rich in the southern subject. a subject and asked to use the restroom when he was refused by the employees an argument ensued and subject left restaurant. a restaurant employee followed the subject and followed him in the street at which time a fight took place, the restaurant being shot. and wounded. the injuries are not life threatening and that case is still under investigation. no arrest has been made in this arrest. couple of significant arrest, on july 1, victim security guard on walgreens was stabbed after admonishing a suspect fortress passing in that store.

the victim attempted to place the subject under the arrest. the suspect took out a knife and stabbed the victim several times. while officers were drafting a warrant, the person left his approximately and taken the custody. le and after the arrest for vandalizing pd vehicle. the victim is in stable condition and expected to survive the incident. and series of organized retail thefts. this happened over the past few months and several of them resulted throughout the area being burglarized.

police are leading investigating agencies on june 18th, an american while driving the vehicles. and multiple counts for burglary and robbery and warrants out of brentwood and san francisco. the state attorney general office has expressed rate and our investigators will cult with our district attorney as well as other interested agencies and the state in this series of arrest. the very significant, we golt a number of these in the city and these were prolific suspects, those were burglar details. couple of some of the strategies, we've had an increase and shots fired in the

day view and as a result we adjusted our deployment over this fourth of july holiday weekend. we increased our third corridor and increased our presence with tick post and some of the housing development in the district where we've had multiple shots fired. we plan to make adjustments as necessary. also in the ingle side additional resources were deployed. there were three incidents, the station participated in ten community event including merchant laws, meeting with community groups and planning for out coming community and

police colob rated events and also to address concerns which is corridor which is a part of this policing plant for this year. so we hope that those strategies will do the couple of things and address the concerns meeting with members of the community. last thing on the investigative side is our driving. unfortunately we had no side shows over this holiday weekend. i do want to report progress with really good work being done. that's under the special operations bureau and really in collaboration with the district stations who always get resources to these events and we know about them, when we think that they're coming. this is resulted in approximately 40 vehicles that

have been seized as a result of follow-up investigation. and i want to reemphasize if you come to san francisco and participate in these events, even if you're not caught, we will not give up on pursuing you to be held accountable for the danger of these events. with that, our follow-up investigators have done some really good work and approximately 40 cars have been seized. and that has resulted i think in us having some success and driving the side showdown in our city. so we'll continue to work on that. and last thing to report in terms of significant incident, there is a west of angel island. this happened on the 30th of june. our boat collided with the sale boat, the victim did not

survive the injuries. the marine union was part of that and we were not able to save this person. and that is that is it for my report for this week, thank you. >> thank you, chief. i'm going to turn it over to my fellow commissioners, i don't see any questions or comments. commissioner ye. >> yes, i just want to talk about the graduating class, i want to thank for representing us in the graduation class. also i want to thank the chief and her staff for i guess, keeping us safe during the i word is parade, big celebration, pretty close to

this walgreen helps seniors with their medication and what we are doing is we lying on the board of supervisors. i heard a joke, it's a serious joke. they say that only the wal green shows receipts of over 100,000 in all loss of things stolen than they can have the wallgreen. this is ridiculous. the walgreen in san bruno now caters. are we going to wait until the wal green on san brun o closes? i have over 100 complaints about it.

we have some offices, like office of percy, because it goes beyond the call of duty to do a good job. but we can do better. and chief of scott knows about san bruno. i accompanied him, he visited a few stores, we do business, we up lifted one another. i'm asking they contribute to the city. save the wallgreen on san bruno and felton. thank you very much. >> thank you, caller. sxao and vice president, that's the end. >> next item please.

case that's had gone that far. of those 20 cases continued open, 15 of those case right side told. we have commission has 12 pending cases and decision wz dpa and there is one case that is still pending with the chief. in terms of the weekly trend, we have not met in a while so this is a three-week summary. in the past three weeks, we received just 26 cases. and top allegations are 36% of allegations have been with allegations failing to take the required action. most of those are for allegations wanting a police report. and 14% are for alleging sfrd

behaved or spoke inappropriately to the public. if you want the complete list they're on the website. in terms of the district break down, i just tried to talk about the top districts that have come in and those would be in terms of allegations that have come to dpa and the top district is, mission and again the allegations are concentrated around officers taking failing to take required action and making an appropriate comment. and that's a new search permission when which reported three weeks ago, there was only allegation that came out of mission, there were five this time. the largest second agency was outside of the police jurisdiction, one of the new things that we're doing is making sure that when people call, we're making referrals to

the appropriate agencies. so it's frequently the case that people will come in and/or call into the office with complaints about ice or dea or other jurisdictions with information and my staff is trained and we make referrals and that's the second largest allegation that came in and referrals were made by our office. 64 cases were received in april. and in may 59 cased received. there were a total of 109

allegations and total 120 allegations made by the public in april. in terms of the audit, the 22, we held an opening meeting with sspd to initial the annual of compliant with a-coin 8-10. and i'll continue to give you updates with those but we started those meetings last month. in terms of out reach, we had a no your rights presentation at the family youth and family system of care providers. the attendees developed a presentation to better integrate families with systems to develop planning and implementation of city services. we also participated in the

and are moving often and continue to thank the public for their comments on that. i also wanted to as a commissioner ye shared, that the commission spoke at class 275 graduation class. 6 were bilingual it was great to welcome them and to get to meet some of the cadets at that event. as director henderson noted, i also attended a event hosted for the first time in-person since covid. i was able to ex speak to the mediator, things were very happy to learn that the commission was represented there. and members mediation program is really a world class

restorive program that provides a great way to resolve some of the disputes brought to dba, i think after--we'll work to agendize, because i think it is, it is underappreciated in a tremendous program that the dba can get. so thank you to all the mediator and to the department for the officers who agreed to participate in the program as well. and that's all for me. >> can i just say, thank you so much for participating and attending commissioner. the mediation folks and mediators themselves they pay attention to police commission and it's a big deal that you came and did the walk through and answer their questions.

that can be utilized for restorive justice. so i would like to thank paul henderson, i would like to see him smile a little bit. i think he's a wise president who made some good comments. i appreciate what y'all do, but i have to run the boat because i've got too many people who ask me francisco do this and do that, and i say come on man, i cannot work miracles. all i can do is say something but i'm not even saying something to doing more. thank you very much. >> thank you, caller. >> vice president, that's the end of public comment. >> thank you, next item. >> line item 6.

san francisco is surrounded on three sides by water, the fire boat station is intergal to maritime rescue and preparedness, not only for san francisco, but for all

of the bay area. [sirens] >> fire station 35 was built in 1915. so it is over 100 years old. and helped it, we're going to build fire boat station 35. >> so the finished capital planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must exist on sea level rise. >> the station 35, construction cost is approximately $30 million. and the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. it is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where

the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. >> we're looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. the historic firehouse will remain on the embarcadero, and we will still respond out of the historic firehouse with our fire engine, and respond to medical calls and other incidences in the district. >> this totally has to incorporate between three to six feet of sea level rise over the next 100 years. that's what the city's guidance is requiring. it is built on the float, that can move up and down as the water level rises, and sits on four fixed guide piles. so if the seas go up, it can move up and down with that. >> it does have a full range of travel, from low

tide to high tide of about 16 feet. so that allows for current tidal movements and sea lisle rises in the coming decades. >> the fire boat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. >> the access ramp is rigidly connected to the land side, with more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then it is sliding over the top of the float. in that way the ramp can flex up and down like a hinge, and also allow for a slight few inches of lateral motion of the float. both the access ramps, which there is two, and the utility's only flexible connection connecting from the float to the back of the building. so electrical power, water, sewage, it all has flexible connection to the boat. >> high boat station

number 35 will provide mooring for three fire boats and one rescue boat. >> currently we're staffed with seven members per day, but the fire department would like to establish a new dedicated marine unit that would be able to respond to multiple incidences. looking into the future, we have not only at&t park, where we have a lot of kayakers, but we have a lot of developments in the southeast side, including the stadium, and we want to have the ability to respond to any marine or maritime incident along these new developments. >> there are very few designs for people sleeping on the water. we're looking at cruiseships, which are larger structures, several times the size of harbor station 35, but they're the only good reference point.

we look to the cruiseship industry who has kind of an index for how much acceleration they were accommodate. >> it is very unique. i don't know that any other fire station built on the water is in the united states. >> the fire boat is a regional asset that can be used for water rescue, but we also do environmental cleanup. we have special rigging that we carry that will contain oil spills until an environmental unit can come out. this is a job for us, but it is also a way of life and a lifestyle. we're proud to serve our community. and we're willing to help people in any way we can.

>> [inaudible] i'm a illustrator by day and a [inaudible] composition teacher. right now i'm practice by transscribing [inaudible] that is what i have been doing the past couple years, teaching myself. california college of the arts, illustration there has really great teachers. robert hunt, vance story taught me a lot. what

i'm working on is a portfolio [inaudible] riding a donkey unicorn in the process. >> my name is dawn richardson and musician, drummer and drum teacher. i guess i would say i started my professional path quh i started playing in bands and teaching drum lesson when i was in college. they were definitely not that many women that would do what is doing. in 198 8 i graduated from cal state los ang and studied mostly classical percussion and music education but at the same time i was in hollywood so played at night in rock bands so was doing two different things. >> the reason i'm [inaudible] the people. there is a extremely

vibrant art community especially arounds the red poppy art house [inaudible] as a artist in the past 2 or 3 years there is a event called the [inaudible] every 3 months a free art music festival that i usually play at and just met so many people. >> i was teaching a little bit and doing odd jobs like waitressing and going at night and playing in bands and meeting a lot of people. i chss in ban that had cool break jz get parts on tv shows or things like that. a friend of mine, we had mutual friends that got signed to a record deal in san francisco called 4 nonblaunds and i addition frd the bands and moved to the bay area. i think things are

different now than 30 years ago, the world evolved a lot. it could be a challenge but have to know how to negotiate everything and sometimeatize is [inaudible] it was great to get to a point where i was just treated like another one of the people, a musician not a female musician and that is always what [inaudible] >> you don't hear stuff on the radio [inaudible] i need to write music [inaudible] be more conscious in their decisions and somehow make that poetic so they will be convinced. i think i will do that. [singing in backgrounds] drawing and writing music since i was a really little kid and fortunate enough to have a good education in art and parentss who supported me. i

hope my life will continue to allow me to do both. >> for me now having all male, female girls, boys students it shows the world has changed a lot and people areope toon open to a lot more than they were in the past. you can get a deep satisfaction from responding a lot of year practicing in one thing and becoming really good at something. sometimes i think that it is better to get lost. you have to practice and become good at what you do, so if you have everything together then go out in the world and do what you do and then i think people weal accept that.

>> i don't want to be involved in the process after it happens. i want to be there at the front end to help people with something in my mind from a very early age. our community is the important way to look at things, even now. george floyd was huge. it opened up wounds and a discussion on something festering for a long time. before rodney king. you can look at all the

instances where there are calls for change. i think we are involved in change right now in this moment that is going to be long lasting. it is very challenging. i was the victim of a crime when i was in middle school. some kids at recess came around at pe class and came to the locker room and tried to steal my watch and physically assaulted me. the officer that helped afterwards went out of his way to check the time to see how i was. that is the kind of work, the kind of perspective i like to have in our sheriff's office regardless of circumstance. that influenced me a lot. some of the storefronts have changed. what is mys is that i still see some things that trigger memories. the barbershop and the shoe store is another one that i

remember buying shoestrings and getting my dad's old army boots fixed. we would see movies after the first run. my brother and i would go there. it is nice. if you keep walking down sacramento. the nice think about the city it takes you to japan town. that is where my grandparents were brought up. that is the traditional foods or movies. they were able to celebrate the culture in that community. my family also had a dry-cleaning business. very hard work. the family grew up with apartments above the business. we have a built-in work force. 19 had 1 as -- 1941 as soon as that happened the entire community was fixed. >> determined to do the job as

democracy should with real consideration for the people involved. >> the decision to take every one of japan niece american o japanese from their homes. my family went to the mountains and experienced winter and summer and springs. they tried to make their home a home. the community came together to share. they tried to infuse each home are little things. they created things. i remember my grand mother saying they were very scared. they were worried. they also felt the great sense of pride. >> japanese americans. >> my granduncle joined the

442nd. when the opportunity came when the time that was not right. they were in the campaign in italy. they were there every step of the way. >> president truman pays tribute. >> that was the most decorated unit in the history of the united states army. commitment and loyal to to the country despite that their families were in the camp at that time. they chose to come back to san francisco even after all of that. my father was a civil servant as well and served the state of california workers' compensation attorney and judge and appellate board. my parents influenced me to look at civil service s.i applied to

police, and sheriff's department at the same time. the sheriff's department grabbed me first. it was unique. it was not just me in that moment it was everyone. it wasn't me looking at the crowd. it was all of us being together. i was standing there alone. i felt everyone standing next to me. the only way to describe it. it is not about me. it is from my father. my father couldn't be there. he was sick. the first person i saw was him. i still sometimes am surprised by the fact i see my name as the sheriff. i am happy to be in the position i am in to honor their memory doing what i am doing now to help the larger comment. when i say that we want to be

especially focused on marginalized communities that have been wronged. coming from my background and my family experienced what they did. that didn't happen in a vacuum. it was a decision made by the government. nobody raised their voice. now, i think we are in a better place as country and community. when we see something wrong we have change agents step up to help the community affected. that is a important thing to continue to do. you talk about change and being a leader in change and not knowing whether you have successes or results. the fact of the matter is by choosing to push for change you have already changed things. through inspiration for others, take up the matter or whether it is through actual functional change as a result of your voice

being heard. i think you have already started on a path to change by choosing that path. in doing that in april of itself creates change. i continue in that type of service for my family. something i hope to see in my children. i have a pretty good chance with five children one will go into some sort of civil service. i hope that happens to continue that legacy. >> i am paul, sheriff of san francisco.

>> these kids are wonderful. they get to explore, they get to see different things. >> we let them explore a little bit. they get their best. if their parents ever ask, we can learn -- they can say that they learned about the depth of field or the rule of thirds or that the shadows can give a good contrast. some of the things they come up with are fantastic. that is what we're trying to encourage. these kids can bring up the creativity and also the love for photography. >> a lot of people come into my classes and they don't feel like they really are creative and through the process of working

and showing them and giving them some tips and ideas. >> this is kind of the best kept secret. you should come on and take a class. we have orientations on most saturdays. this is a really wonderful location and is the real jewel to the community. >> ready to develop your photography skills? the harvey milk photo center focuses on adult classes. and saturday workshops expose youth and adults to photography classes. women's network for a sustainable future . >> san francisco streets and

puffs make up 25 percent of cities e city's land area more than all the parks combined they're far two wide and have large flight area the pavement to parks is to test the variants by ininexpensive changing did new open spaces the city made up of streets in you think about the potential of having this space for a purpose it is demands for the best for bikes and families to gather. >> through a collaborative effort with the department we the public works and the municipal transportation agency pavement to parks is bringing initiative ideas to our streets. >> so the face of the street is the core of our program we have in the public right-of-way

meaning streets that can have areas perpetrated for something else. >> i'm here with john francis pavement to parks manager and this parklet on van ness street first of all, what is a parklet and part of pavement to parks program basically an expense of the walk in a public realm for people to hang anti nor a urban acceptable space for people to use. >> parklets sponsors have to apply to be considered for the program but they come to us you know saying we want to do this and create a new space on our street it is a community driven program. >> the program goes beyond just parklets vacant lots and other spaces are converted we're here at playland on 43 this is place is cool with loots things to do

and plenty of space to play so we came up with that idea to revitalizations this underutilized yard by going to the community and what they said want to see here we saw that everybody wants to see everything to we want this to be a space for everyone. >> yeah. >> we partnered with the pavement to parks program and so we had the contract for building 236 blot community garden it start with a lot of jacuzzi hammers and bulldozer and now the point we're planting trees and flowers we have basketball courts there is so much to do here. >> there's a very full program

>> hello, friends. i'm the deputy superintendent of instruction at san francisco unified school district, but you can call me miss vickie. what you see over the next hour has been created and planned by our san francisco teachers for our students. >> our premise came about for san francisco families that didn't have access to technology, and that's primarily children preschool to second grade. >> when we started doing this distance learning, everything was geared for third grade and up, and we work with the little once, and it's like how were

they still processing the information? how were they supposed to keep learning? >> i thought about reaching the student who didn't have internet, who didn't have computers, and i wanted them to be able to see me on the t.v. and at least get some connection with my kids that way. >> thank you, friends. see you next time. >> hi, friend. >> today's tuesday, april 28, 2020. it's me, teacher sharon, and i'm back again. >> i got an e-mail saying that i had an opportunity to be on a show. i'm, like, what? >> i actually got an e-mail from the early education department, saying they were saying of doing a t.v. show, and i was selected to be one of the people on it, if i was interested. i was scared, nervous.

i don't like public speaking and all the above. but it worked out. >> talk into a camera, waiting for a response, pretending that oh, yeah, i hear you, it's so very weird. i'm used to having a classroom with 17 students sitting in front of me, where they're all moving around and having to have them, like, oh, sit down, oh, can you hear them? let's listen. >> hi guys. >> i kind of have stage flight when i'm on t.v. because i'm normally quiet? >> she's never quiet. >> no, i'm not quiet. >> my sister was, like, i saw you on t.v.

[♪♪♪] >> you're watching san

francisco rising with chris manners. today's special guest is katy tang. [♪♪♪] >> hi. i'm chris manners, and you're watching san francisco rising, the show that's focused on rebuilding, reimagining, and revitalizing our city. with us today is katy tang, and she's talk to -- talking to us about assistance and services provided to local businesses. can we talk about the role of the office of small business? many small businesses are struggling to help. how can you help? >> director tang: we are here as the city's central point of information for all things small businesses, so we can help people start, stay, and grow in the city. if you want to start a small

business, we can pair you up with small business advisors, who can talk you through your business plan, help you develop it, whether it's regulatory requirements, business permits, and just help you understand the journey that was up ahead. and if you'd like to stay in san francisco and perhaps your business is facing challenges, we can also pair you with a business advisor who can assess your business needs and figure out whatside that would best help you. so for example, perhaps you need more marketing assistance or you need to be connected to a loan, a low interest loan or a grant program, if that's available. those are services we can provide to you, whether you're starting out or trying to stay in san francisco. and of course, if you want to expand and grow into a new space, we can help assist you with that and help prepare you for the journey ahead. we have a team dedicated to

assist you you with all the small business needs, all the requirements needed to help you establish your small business in san francisco. >> do you have an e.s.l. program for people who want to start small businesses? >> director tang: we have staff that can speak spanish and mandarin and cantonese, and we understand if english is not your first language, it can be difficult, so we want to be as helpful as possible. >> excellent. i know that s.f. shines was created to help with restoring and improvement. can you tell us more about that? >> yes. it's run out of a sister development and it's much

needed in the small business community. if you are trying to improve your storefront, whether it's outside, perhaps you want to make some interior improvements, a lot of times, that involves a lot of cost and resources to be able to do so. for example, you may need to hire an architect to submit drawings so you can get your work done. currently, s.f. shines is offer a pairing of business sign services. you can be paired up with an architect to get your drawings done to help you start to do the actual work. we hope that people will stay tuned, and you can find out more information on our website. that's sfgov.org/osb.

>> let's talk about the shared spaces program. it's been a huge success, and outdoor dining spaces are very popular. >> the shared spaces program, especially during the pandemic, really helped spaces survive. to have an outdoor space where people could safely gather was critical, and the office of small business has been working with these shared spaces during the pandemic. some may or may not have been up to the city's code regulations, so department of public works and other departments have been trying to figure out what violations are and help businesses come into

compliance. the planning department and the city have decided that they'll give businesses until 2023 to come into compliance. also in the meantime, for businesses that want to start new shared spaces, new parklets, that is still an on going program, a new program, so people can always submit their applications for shared spaces regardless whether they started one during the pandemic or not. >> do you anticipate there being other shared spaces programs in the future and how do small businesses go about finding out about them? >> small businesses can find out about it by visiting our website, sfgov/osb or you can call 415-554-6134, and we can connect you with the planning department and other agencies that would be connected with

the shared spaces programs. >> over the pandemic, businesses have been victimized by vandals and other crimes. how can you help them? >> the city offers a program called the vandalism relief fund, and this would allow businesses suffering from graffiti or broken windows to apply with the city through our neighborhood services division, and you could get up to 1,000 or 2,000 if you submit certain documentation, such as a photograph of the damage or a copy of the receipt or document showing the amount you paid for to correct the incident. we are so excited that the city

now has a centralized permit center, where people can come and get their business done, hopefully, in the same day where there are several different agencies, ranging from department of building inspection, planning department, public health, fire department, all here to help people, whether you're building a new business or even new construction, to be able to, again, fit all of your appointments in one day and get things done quickly. so starting in may, our office of small business has actually started working out of 49 south van ness at the permit center, and we have a team of two staff who are dedicated to helping small businesses through their permitting journey. so we do encourage people, you can come to the permit center or you can e-mail us at sfosb@sfgov.org, and you can communicate with our staff dedicated to helping you with your permitting needs.

we hope that people will consider consulting with us before you even sign a lease so that we can help you on the path to success and understanding the journey of setting up a small business in san francisco. >> well, thank you so much. i really appreciate you coming on the show, miss tang. thank you for the time you've given us today. >> director tang: thanks for having me. >> and that's it for this show. we'll be back shortly. you've been watching san francisco rising. for sfgovtv, i'm chris manners. thanks for watching.

month we were all shocked to read a draft of a supreme court opinion. i decision that would overturn roe versus wade and set our country back by 50 years. this is a very dark momentfor the highest court in our land and our country's rule of law . the potentialconsequences of this opinion cannot be underestimated .we're not just talking about the arrests, the prosecutions, the criminal convictions ofwomen seeking reproductive health care or medical professionals providing that care. we know from history that women will die because of this decision . now, over the years that bay

area has had a proud tradition of lawyers taking up the cause of justice during the turmoil of the 1960s , bay area lawyers formed the lawyers committee for civil rights leveraging the efforts of thousands of pro bono attorneys. after a mass shooting at a downtown san francisco law firm their area lawyers started the community againstviolence which has led the nationalfight for gun safety . and when no one bought it possible , bay area lawyers in our san francisco city attorney's office teamed up to leavethe fight for marriage equality .today we are here to announce that the san francisco city attorney's office, the bar association of san francisco and at this time over 20 law firms are joining forces to launch the legal alliance for reproductive

rights. this alliance will seek to provide pro bono services to address the myriad of legal needs of pregnant women and health providers who will be facing civil suits and criminal charges for seeking or providing reproductive health care. our city attorney's office will be looking for litigation opportunities to protect rights, advising our policymakers on how we protect that access to care and will be teaming up with these law firms and the lawyers standingwith us today and hundreds of their colleagues as well as other public law offices . reverend martin luther king taught us that the ultimate measure of a person is not where we stand in moments of comfort and convenience but where we stand at times of challenge and controversy. as lawyers, as officers of the court we cannot standidly by during this most precarious moment for constitutional

rights in our lifetime . i am very grateful to the bay area legal community for stepping up today during this moment to stand up for justice and the rule of law. and today we invite and challenge legal communities around our states and our country to join us . together, we can dispel the darkness. i am honored to be joined today by significant leaders in our legal community and beyond. we're going to hear from our first speaker, presidentof the bar association of san francisco mary mcnamara . [applause] >> thank you david. esteemed members ofthe san francisco legal community , just over a month ago mayor reed declared april 27 the bar association of san francisco

day. the mayor was honoring 150 years of work that this bar association has done since its founding in 1872. we have advocated for every major civil rights cause in the country. we've been leaders of the world in this regard and for thepast 50 years we have advocated for reproductive justice . in 1970 four roe v wade we call for the removal of restrictions from abortion in this state. in the 1970s and 80s we advocatedfor reproductive justice causes. we signed on to every major brief beforethe supreme court . today as david said we are joining together to form a new coalition , the legal alliance forreproductive rights . we know that the finest law firms in the city , everybody here has not only joined but rushed to join this effort to protect the newly vulnerable cause of pregnant people in

this country. they're doing so to uphold the basic rights of legalpersonhood for all pregnant people . the basic right or sisters, supporters, the brothers, sisters, mothers andfathers, the grandparents . everybody who helpsa woman obtain an abortion . these people will now be the subject of civil and criminal prosecutions and hospice country. all these firms recognize that a woman has a basic right to control her ownhealth care . all of them recognized that women are now going to be forced to give birth, even women have been raped. women who have beenabused . women too young to carry achild , too poor to have another child. women who have precarious pregnancies. allof them are going to be in danger through the fall of rome .

in a post-real-world as david had said it's not just that women will be arrested or fully prosecuted for doing what any other person can do with his or her body. women will indeed die. women die already in this country and getting childbirth. in fact, we have the highest maternal mortality rates in the developed world and it's a race that has been climbing for two decades. the fall of rome isgoing to usher in a new appallingly high maternal mortality rate . people of color will suffer the most. the poor will get poorer. abortion is not just basic healthcare. it's an economic right and without that economic right women are going to suffer from morethe quality and the already . this city leads the state. the state leaves the country. i echo david call for our

sister communities across the country, our fellow bar association to comeand do what are doing . form agroup of lawyers who will give of themselves freely in this site . i want to thank everybody here for their civicmindedness , theirgenerosity, there will towards the constitution of this country . thank you.

joining every day. our mission is simple : to protect people exercising their reproductive rights and the medical providers providing care and support. as we allknow the supreme court appears to be poised to take away a fundamental right that's been on the books for nearly 50 years . that calls for a public-private collaboration to pool our strength and resources and fight to ensure the personal and professional safety of pregnant people, doctors, nurses and other medical professionals. no one should have toput their personal freedom on the line to exercise a constitutional right . we have a dream team of law firms in the coalition as david noted comprising some of the finest alliance in the country. there has been an outpouring of support from national and local firms to what weall see as a tragedy about to unfold . it is my privilege tointroduce the firms are part of this effort . walt schuler, arguilas cassidy,

[applause] >> thank you teresa and i want to thank each and everyone of you for being here , for standing up when it really matters . our final speaker today i will introduce in the following way it's not everyday lawyers and doctors come together on an issue . but the san francisco marin medical society has been on the forefront of leading important progressive issues and i'm very grateful to the leadership of the medical society for stepping in immediately.

we are looking forward to working with our healthcare professionals around the region, around the state and around the country to protect the important work they do every day. here representingthe medical society is president phd doctor michael schrader . [applause] >> thank you david for that generous introduction. so my name is doctor michael schrader and i'm a primary care doctor in san francisco and also president of the san francisco medical society. we represent over 3000 positions living in san francisco and marin. we had a long history of advocating for theright to choose . a long history of advocating for access for patients to exercise this right and we feel that abortion is a medical decision tobe made by patient and her physician .i wanted to tell you a story. i was telling this trauma physician as i was coming here

today and he told me the story resonated with me and has some real lessons. it was a trauma surgeon and the woman had a traumatic brain injury and she was brain-dead . as part of the evaluation for trauma they checked for pregnancy turned up thiswoman was pregnant . she was stable and she was pregnant. it turns out they were working institution that shall we say is less than forward thinking about reproductive rights . and you know, normally this womanwould have been onlife support for 30 days . i'm sorry, 30 months . to carry this fetus to term. and the right thing to do in this situation is to withdraw care on this poor woman who met the legal definition of being dead . i want to tell you the right decision was made in this case but you can see how legislating these kinds of decisions takes away our power and gives power to legislatures who are not necessarily considering the

individual rights of the person involved and the best medical care for the persons involved so san francisco marin medical society isproud to be included in this initiative . david has been long been a champion of medical freedom. san franciscomarion medical assistance center defend a woman's right to choose . thank you.

will take a photo and then we can all say hello again . >> [♪♪♪] ♪ homelessness in san francisco is considered the number 1 issue by most people who live here, and it doesn't just affect neighbors without a home, it affects all of us. is real way to combat that is to work together. it will take city departments and nonprofit providers and volunteers and companies and community members all coming together. [♪♪♪] >> the product homeless connect

community day of service began about 15 years ago, and we have had 73 of them. what we do is we host and expo-style event, and we were the very force organization to do this but it worked so well that 250 other cities across the globe host their own. there's over 120 service providers at the event today, and they range anywhere from hygiene kits provided by the basics, 5% -- to prescription glasses and reading glasses, hearing tests, pet sitting, showers, medical services, flu shots, dental care, groceries, so many phenomenal service providers, and what makes it so unique is we ask that they provide that service today here it is an actual, tangible service people can leave with it. >> i am with the hearing and speech center of northern california, and we provide a variety of services including audiology, counselling, outreach, education, today we actually just do screening to see if someone has hearing loss.

to follow updates when they come into the speech center and we do a full diagnostic hearing test, and we start the process of taking an impression of their year, deciding on which hearing aid will work best for them. if they have a smart phone, we make sure we get a smart phone that can connect to it, so they can stream phone calls, or use it for any other services that they need. >> san francisco has phenomenal social services to support people at risk of becoming homeless, are already experience and homelessness, but it is confusing, and there is a lot of waste. bringing everyone into the same space not only saves an average of 20 hours a week in navigating the system and waiting in line for different areas, it helps them talk, so if you need to sign up for medi-cal, what you need identification, you don't have to go to sacramento or wait in line at a d.m.v., you go across the hall to the d.m.v. to get your i.d. ♪ today we will probably see around 30 people, and averaging about 20 of this people coming to cs for follow-up service.

>> for a participant to qualify for services, all they need to do is come to the event. we have a lot of people who are at risk of homelessness but not yet experiencing it, that today's event can ensure they stay house. many people coming to the event are here to receive one specific need such as signing up for medi-cal or learning about d.m.v. services, and then of course, most of the people who are tender people experiencing homelessness today. >> i am the representative for the volunteer central. we are the group that checks and all the volunteers that comment participate each day. on a typical day of service, we have anywhere between 40500 volunteers that we, back in, they get t-shirts, nametags, maps, and all the information they need to have a successful event. our participant escorts are a core part of our group, and they are the ones who help participants flow from the different service areas and help them find the different services that they needs. >> one of the ways we work closely with the department of homelessness and supportive

housing is by working with homeless outreach teams. they come here, and these are the people that help you get into navigation centers, help you get into short-term shelter, and talk about housing-1st policies. we also work very closely with the department of public health to provide a lot of our services. >> we have all types of things that volunteers deal do on a day of service. we have folks that help give out lunches in the café, we have folks who help with the check in, getting people when they arrive, making sure that they find the services that they need to, we have folks who help in the check out process, to make sure they get their food bag, bag of groceries, together hygiene kit, and whatever they need to. volunteers, i think of them as the secret sauce that just makes the whole process works smoothly. >> participants are encouraged and welcomed to come with their pets. we do have a pet daycare, so if they want to have their pets

stay in the daycare area while they navigate the event, they are welcome to do that, will we also understand some people are more comfortable having their pets with them. they can bring them into the event as well. we also typically offer veterinary services, and it can be a real detriment to coming into an event like this. we also have a bag check. you don't have to worry about your belongings getting lost, especially when that is all that you have with you. >> we get connected with people who knew they had hearing loss, but they didn't know they could get services to help them with their hearing loss picks and we are getting connected with each other to make sure they are getting supported. >> our next event will be in march, we don't yet have a date set. we typically sap set it six weeks out. the way to volunteer is to follow our newsletter, follow us on social media, or just visit our website. we always announce it right away, and you can register very easily online. >> a lot of people see folks experience a homelessness in the city, and they don't know how they can help, and defence like this gives a whole bunch of

people a lot of good opportunities to give back and be supported. >> i went through a lot of struggles in my life, and i am blessed to be part of this. i am familiar with what people are going through to relate and empathy and compassion to their struggle so they can see i came out of the struggle, it gives them hope to come up and do something positive. ♪

♪ i am a community ambassador. we work a lot with homeless, visitors, a lot of people in the area. >> what i like doing is posting up at hotspots to let people see visibility. they ask you questions, ask you

directions, they might have a question about what services are available. checking in, you guys. >> wellness check. we walk by to see any individual, you know may be sitting on the sidewalk, we make sure they are okay, alive. you never know. somebody might walk by and they are laying there for hours. you never know if they are alive. we let them know we are in the area and we are here to promote safety, and if they have somebody that is, you know, hanging around that they don't want to call the police on, they don't have to call the police. they can call us. we can direct them to the services they might need. >> we do the three one one to keep the city neighborhoods clean. there are people dumping, waste on the ground and needles on the

ground. it is unsafe for children and adults to commute through the streets. when we see them we take a picture dispatch to 311. they give us a tracking number and they come later on to pick it up. we take pride. when we come back later in the day and we see the loose trash or debris is picked up it makes you feel good about what you are doing. >> it makes you feel did about escorting kids and having them feel safe walking to the play area and back. the stuff we do as ambassadors makes us feel proud to help keep the city clean, helping the residents. >> you can see the community ambassadors. i used to be on the streets. i didn't think i could become a

community ambassador. it was too far out there for me to grab, you know. doing this job makes me feel good. because i came from where a lot of them are, homeless and on the street, i feel like i can give them hope because i was once there. i am not afraid to tell them i used to be here. i used to be like this, you know. i have compassion for people that are on the streets like the homeless and people that are caught up with their addiction because now, i feel like i can give them hope. it reminds you every day of where i used to be and where i am at now.

[crowd noise] [music] [crowd noise] >> it means everything that we have a common goal a common operating picture and a common mission. it is great to be together and walk together and show that. [crowd noise] [sirens].

the message is the lbgtq community is reflect in the our police department in san francisco. it sends a message that there are members of the department the police department, sheriff's department, fire department that are just like the people that we encounter in san francisco. and i think it sends a message of hope the more we honor the lbgtq community now, the stronger we can be in standing up against those that don't want our representation. [crowd noise] [music] >> [speaking spanish] [speaking spanish]. [crowd noise] [music] [music]

a city like no other, san francisco has been a beacon of hope, and an ally towards lgbtq equal rights. [♪♪] >> known as the gay capital of america, san francisco has been at the forefront fighting gay civil rights for decades becoming a bedrock for the historical firsts. the first city with the first openly gay bar. the first pride parade. the first city to legalize gay

marriage. the first place of the iconic gay pride flag. established to help cancel policy, programses, and initiatives to support trans and lgbtq communities in san francisco. >> we've created an opportunity to have a seat at the table. where trans can be part of city government and create more civic engagement through our trans advisory committee which advises our office and the mayor's office. we've also worked to really address where there's gaps across services to see where we can address things like housing and homelessness, low income, access to small businesses and employment and education. so we really worked across the board as well as meeting

overall policies. >> among the priorities, the office of transgender initiatives also works locally to track lgbtq across the country. >> especially our young trans kids and students. so we do a lot of work to make sure we're addressing and naming those anti-trans policies and doing what we can to combat them. >> trans communities often have not been included at the policy levels at really any level whether that's local government, state government. we've always had to fend for ourselves and figure out how to care for our own communities. so an office like this can really show and become a model for the country on how to really help make sure that our entire community is served by the city and that we all get opportunities to participate because, in the end, our entire

community is stronger. >> the pandemic underscored many of the inequities they experienced on a daily basis. nonetheless, this health crisis also highlighted the strength in the lgbtq and trans community. >> several of our team members were deployed as part of the work at the covid command center and they did incredit able work there both in terms of navigation and shelter-in-place hotels to other team members who led equity and lgbtq inclusion work to make sure we had pop-up testing and information sites across the city as well as making sure that data collection was happening. we had statewide legislation that required that we collected information on sexual orientation and our team worked so closely with d.p.h. to make sure those questions were included at testing site but

also throughout the whole network of care. part of the work i've had a privilege to be apart of was to work with o.t.i. and a community organization to work together to create a coalition that met monthly to make sure we worked together and coordinated as much as we could to lgbtq communities in the city. >> partnering with community organizations is key to the success of this office ensuring lgbtq and gender nonconforming people have access to a wide range of services and places to go where they will be respected. o.t.i.'s trans advisory committee is committed to being that voice. >> the transgender advisory counsel is a group of amazing community leaders here in san francisco. i think we all come from all walks of life, very diverse, different backgrounds, different expertises, and i think it's just an amazing group of people that have a

vision to make san francisco a true liberated city for transgender folks. >> being apart of the grou allows us to provide more information on the ground. we're allowed to get. and prior to the pandemic, there's always been an issue around language barriers and education access and workforce development. now, of course, the city has been more invested in to make sure our community is thriving and making sure we are mobilizing. >> all of the supervisors along with mayor london breed know that there's still a lot to be done and like i said before, i'm just so happy to live in a city where they see trans folks

and recognize us of human beings and know that we deserve to live with dignity and respect just like everybody else. >> being part of the trans initiative has been just a great privilege for me and i feel so lucky to have been able to serve for it for so far over three years. it's the only office of its kind and i think it's a big opportunity for us to show the country or the world about things we can do when we really put a focus on transgender issues and transgender communities. and when you put transgender people in leadership positions. >> thank you, claire. and i just want to say to claire farly who is the leader of the office of transgender initiatives, she has really taken that role to a whole other level and is currently a grand marshal for this year's s.f. prize. so congratulations, claire. >> my dream is to really look at where we want san francisco to be in the future.

how can we have a place where we have transliberation, quality, and inclusion, and equity across san francisco? and so when i look five years from now, ten years from now, i want us to make sure that we're continuing to lead the country in being the best that we can be. not only are we working to make sure we have jobs and equal opportunity and pathways to education, employment, and advancement, but we're making sure we're taking care of our most impacted communities, our trans communities of color, trans women of color, and black trans women. and we're making sure we're addressing the barriers of the access to health care and mental health services and we're supporting our seniors who've done the work and really be able to age in place and have access to the services and resources they deserve. so there's so much more work to do, but we're really proud of the work that we've done so far.

there was a discussion of that and it is available online at treasure island museum and it's available in person. the exhibit is through august 31st. my staff and i are working to get to know all the top needs and priorities of this special community. and i'm committed to an inclusive and transparent process as we consider various aspects of the transportation program, including transit and shuttles. as well as a toll and affordability program. as part of that, my office joined members of the treasure island organizing committee for a brief meeting earlier this month to review additional recommendations. they are working with the office to set up community meetings in a town hall we hope have to in late july so hear from all those interested in these topics.

finally, i'd like to recommend that staff work on establishing a community advisory committee to advise this timma agency. for more than a decade, our timma staff have worked with tida and it seems appropriate to create a c.a.c. for timma just as we have for the transportation authority itself. i look forward to working with staff as we continue to plan and prepare for a future of the islands. thank you. with that, and i conclude my remarks. are there any questions or comments from colleagues? seeing none, is there anyone with the chamber who wishes to comment on item 4? seeing none, operator, is there any remote public comment on item 4? >> checking for remote public comment on the chair's report. we do have a caller.

welcome, caller, your two minutes begins now. >> caller: my name is francisco. back in 1992 when i worked at the presidio, we did an assessment of treasure island. you committee members must remember that we cannot put people -- innocent people in harm's way. we need to clean up treasure island to residential standards. and all this mickey mouse and fun fare that saying you can't do that without addressing

quality of life issues. so, treasure island has very serious issues when it comes to contamination, much like hunters point. and the board of supervisors and the previous mayors have looked the other side, but now more and more on hunters point, the board of supervisors has taken to task and soon there will be a grand jury on treasure island and you'll be taken to task. and the san francisco county transportation authority, whoever the leaders are, are not doing right by the people. not at city hall, but even at the joint transbay. i'm following you all. you have to do right by the people. do not put the innocent people in harm's way. and do not give rogue developers

-- [indiscernible] -- thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you, caller. >> chair, there is no more public comment. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you, madame clerk. in the interests of time, i think we're going to on the executive director report, we're going to make this available online. madame clerk, would you call the next item. >> item 6, adopt the fiscal year 2022/23 annual budget and work program. this is an action item. >> good morning. chair, could you hear me? >> supervisor dorsey: yep. >> finance administration. judging the amount of time we have left, i'll make this quick. this was something heard at the last board meeting. thinks the adoption of the 22-23

timma agency. revenues are $10.8 million and expenditures are expected to be $11 million for technical services, personnel costs and non-personnel. and we expect other financing from the prop k sales tax to can be projected at $251,000. there is no changes to the proposed budget and this is our last presentation. i'm happy to take any questions or go into details further. thank you. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you. are there any questions or comments from colleagues? seeing none, is there anyone in the chamber who wishes to comment on item 6? seeing none, operator, is there any remote public comment on item 6? >> yes, chair, there is. let me go to the first caller. welcome, caller, your two minutes begins now.

>> caller: yes, can you hear me? >> yes, please go ahead. >> caller: okay. good morning, commissioners. this is steve stallone from the treasure island organizing committee. we went through the budget and the numbers are incomplete and without context and leaves us with more questions than before, but i'll let my partner jim ask the questions since he's the one with the m.b.a. i will state my view, this proposal has been -- the san francisco taxpayer dollars, such a vague and undefined plan there is no way to tell how much more money is being spent compared to what the toll will raise. first, consider the issue of the new approval of the development plan. since the city's current plan doesn't conform to the original agreement, the city negotiated

and signed with b.c. d.c., a revised plan isn't going negotiated at this point. something has to be worked out. from what we see, the city and the b.c. d.c. haven't agreed. even one it is adjudicated, they suggest that the approvals and negotiations could take 2-3 years easy to resolve and yet this budget and most of the expenditures are based on approval in six months. color us skeptical. dark skeptical. second, we have no economic impact study to inform how the toll and its cascading effects will change life for the low-income residents awaiting affordable housing that this whole project was focused on as an investment justification, not to mention litigation for the island's businesses in limbo. and from our recent discussions with the deputy director just

last week made clear there is no plan to address the concerns we have raised over the -- [indiscernible] -- can you still hear me? there we go. and just last week, yeah, and we were told that -- [bell ringing] -- >> thank you, your two minutes are up. >> thank you, caller. on to the next caller. welcome, caller, your two minutes begins now. >> caller: hello, my name is jim, organizing committee on treasure island. we took a look at your proposed budget. it's -- it includes almost 100% increase from the last fiscal year for the next year. and all the expenditures go into a very broad range of technical professional services and administrative costs and personnel. the attachment, page -- that's in the packet, page 9-12 goes

through a litany of grab bag of different activities and specifics -- not specifics, but basically what this 400% increase in budget will entail, however, there is no specific detail which items are going to be and how much. it's just a big grab bag of technical services. i urge the commission to give some details before anything is approved, so the community can review this and have comments. as such, we also want to mention that any of the items here mentioned are the items that we've been asking for, specific budgets, numbers, projections, that were being asked for by the community for over three and a half years. so we're not receiving that information. so we urge you guys to provide

and urge timma to go back and provide specific details on which of these particular items and how much the -- approve the budget, thank you. >> moving on to a third caller. welcome, caller, your two minutes begins now. >> caller: board of supervisors, you need to give the public at least five minutes. if 30 minutes are set for public comment. and i'm saying this, because most of you all are ignorant and not -- on issues. i followed this since the days of mark leno and treasure island development authority was created and i stated from the

inception that you need the island abatement and mitigation. and today when i listen to the tida commission, they, themselves, do not know what is happening on treasure island. they have brought on more developers who work for the -- who have not come before the commission to do their presentation. so how can their accounting or the line items be known to the commission, and further more, how can they be known to you all. and i'm getting mixed signals, at treasure island mobility board. i don't know what that means. it's a mickey mouse thing.

millions of dollars that are wasted by the county and city of san francisco in tida. the corruption in this city has reached saturation point. even the main newspapers call us the dirtiest city and the corrupt city. and it's because it starts like this. -- [indiscernible] there is no accountability, there is no transparency. this is hogwash. [bell ringing] >> chair, there are no additional callers. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you. public comment on this item is closed. can we have a motion and a second on item 6? motion from commissioner mandelman and second commissioner walton. madame clerk, roll call vote. >> yes, chair. commissioner chan is excused. >> supervisor dorsey: aye. >> supervisor mandelman: aye.

>> supervisor mar: aye. >> supervisor melgar: aye. commissioner peskin is absent. commissioner preston is excused. commissioner ronen is absent. commissioner safai is absent. >> supervisor stefani: aye. >> supervisor walton: aye. and this item 6 is approved. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you, madame clerk. would you please call the next item. >> item 7, execute the first of two one-year contract options for professional services contracts to nossaman llp, meyers nave, a professional corporation, and wendel rosen llp in a combined amount not to exceed $150,000 for on-call general legal counsel services. this is an action item.

>> supervisor dorsey: thank you. >> good morning, again. deputy director for finance and administration. as the clerk mentioned, this is to award renewal for legal service contracts. in november, 2019, the board awarded $150,000 three-year professional service legal contract with two options for one-year period. wendel rosen served as general counsel. meyers nave has existed us on issues. and nossaman has not been asked to assist us to this point. today we are seeking approval to continue working with these three firms and the proposed action will exercise the first of two options of the initial contract. during fiscal year, 2022-23 we anticipate a higher level of legal services to assist with the procurement and contract negotiations for a new toll

system integration vendor contract and other activities. of course, this is all pending board approval of the toll affordability policy. legal support will be required for the autonomous vehicle product. this is funded by local, state and grant revenues, as well as prop k. i would like to note one non-substantive administrative. with that, i'm happy to take any questions on this item. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you. are there any questions or comments from colleagues? okay. seeing none, is there anyone in the chamber who wishes to comment on item 7? seeing none, operator, is there any remote public comment on item 7?

>> there is no comment. >> supervisor dorsey: okay. thank you. public comment on this item is now closed. i'd like to make a motion to -- can we have a motion and a second on item 7, budget amendment? commissioner mandelman and commissioner stefani second. madame clerk, roll call vote, please. >> commissioner chan excused. >> supervisor dorsey: aye. >> supervisor mandelman: aye. >> supervisor mar: aye. >> supervisor melgar: aye. commissioner peskin is absent. commissioner preston is excused. commissioner ronen is absent. commissioner safai is absent. commissioner stefani? >> supervisor stefani: aye. >> supervisor walton: aye. item 7 is approved.

>> supervisor dorsey: thank you, madame clerk. would you please call the next item. >> item 8, introduction of new items. this is an information item. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you, madame clerk. i am not seeing any colleagues on the roster with new items. madame clerk, would you please call the next item. >> item 9, general public comment. >> supervisor dorsey: okay. is there anyone in the chamber who wishes to make general public comment? seeing none, operator, are there any members of the public who would like to speak? >> yes. we do have a caller. let me go ahead and unmute them. welcome, caller. your two minutes begins now. >> so this is what i have to say. when you all talk about racial equity, i don't see the racial equity represented on many of

the commissions. but more than that, you're planning to have citizens advisory committee. experienced people should be on that committee. now we had this circus at the hunters point. we had committees appointed and then deactivated. most of us do not know at one time this was called treasure island hunters point annex. in other words, treasure island played the main role. that's where the navy had their headquarters, their admirals.

this city ever since 1976 has failed san franciscans. more than hunters point than treasure island. and you have representatives with no history because they -- san francisco. they come from somewhere else and pretend they know something, but they know nothing. so i'm not going to be speaking again and again, except to warn you all this, stop this buffoonery. hood winking us in broad daylight, spending millions of our dollars on treasure island and hunters point. thank you very much. >> moving on to the next caller. >> hello, caller, your two minutes begins now.

>> caller: thank you. commissioners, this is steve from the treasure island organized committee again, i want to point out that this public participation process discourages public participation. we didn't get notice of this tuesday morning meeting until last friday afternoon. while this conforms to the letter of the sunshine ordinance, we contend it violates the spirit of the ordinance to inform the public of the government's actions and allow for feedback. this friday notice leaves us the weekend which most of us already made plans for and monday when most of us work to read the documents and find a way to talk to each other so we can give meaningful input by tuesday morning. and the two-minute individual statements can't possibly allow all the matters staff has been working on for months and weeks to develop. i'd like the commissioners, this is not our job, we don't have staff to help us. we're trying to participate in

our community and in our spare time after work and family commitments. so we would appreciate a little bit more time to give public participation a chance to work with the system. chair dorsey, now that you're running this, we hope you will find a way to allow us to speak more than two minutes since we cannot put any meaningful input into this decision-making in that kind of time. thank you. >> thank you, caller. there is no more public comment. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you. the public comment is now closed. madame clerk, would you please call the next item. >> item 10 adjournment. >> supervisor dorsey: thank you, board members. please stay with us for the transportation authority board meeting that will begin following a five-minute break. this meeting is now adjourned.

>> good morning everyone. [speaking spanish] act one, scene two. thank you so much, eric. i'm the ceo of tndc. it's great to be here with you to celebrate this ground breaking of 70 affordable homeses at 180 jones. today is a milestone for the tenderloin and for the community that came out to celebrate with us today. we're here because of the power of the community and the community voice. in the tenderloin for the last 40 years in this neighborhood developing, advocating and in
