me. the robbery this the mayor mentioned that was due to dill gent follow up. but it takes people to do this. when we have shootings or robberies or home invasions and burglars if we don't catch the person at the scene, what has to happen is we have to have enough investigators to put the energy and time in the cases to solve them and that does in the come without investment. things are looking bright are. we have a lot of work and challenges and the mayor mentioned car break in's. even though we are down from 2019 it it is a problem in our city we have to deal with. and we need the police officers on the ground to do this. and i'm excited with what the future looks like and i want to thank our mayor and our partners you will hear from today who are working together as a team. i hope that brings hope to you all and the presence of our city we are and we will get things

prioritized public safety to make sure there are no deficits within our agencies. this would impede us from able to serve city of san francisco. as a part of that, she is sure we are able to have a subelemental addition of 3 narcotic's prosecutors mid cycle earlier this year. to add to my ability to prosecute the number of drug dealing cases we are provided from the san francisco police department. she made sure that the funding for those positions was include as a part of our budget of today we hope that the board of supervisors will continue that funding and approve that funding so we can try to make sure we are putting a stop to the open air drug markets that are affecting our downtown area. we know that we have to set a new tone in san francisco lawlessness will not you can acceptable and a part of that is

hiring needs. no secret that san fremantle has had a shortage of police officers. this is affected sponse times. clearance rates and community engagement. allocating hiring more officers, the mayor is taking a proactive step to putting many of the gaps behind us. stop crime we are aware that the over relines on police can bring problems. in addition to hiring more officers the budget proposal emphasizes effective aisle to mreegs. san francisco hen a lead in transitioning nun police work away from police the street response teams or community ambassadors or bart attendsants the programs help police focus on police work. mayor's proposal finding a solution to the admissible health crisis. lesson from the pedestrian with eye toward the future and sends a strong message that san francisco cares about residents.

thank you. [applause]. >> all right. thank you so much. i appreciate you being here. are there any questions for anyone about what we are talking about today? [inaudible]. >> so there was a rally yesterday from groups concerned about the cut this is are being med to those diameters for social services. can you talk about the need. >> can you ask the question related this press conference. can you talk about the difficulty in having cut in super portions and funding public service as a priority t. is miles an hour complicated to be clear for example, in our childcare resources, there were no cuts to any programs. this it is money over 400 million dollars in this budget for childcare.

that will sit you know spent for years. and regardless of when people are talking about relating to universal childcare because the voters voted on this. there are limits to what the money can be spent to. in fact the current fiscal year all resources allocated for all the things the childcare community wanted to do, was not spent and will not necessary low get spent. . it is not about cut its is about making changes to address some of the challenges we had a 780 million dollars deficit. since we want to talk about this. everybody else was laying people off in san francisco, not only did city workers not get laid off they got a raise in the midst of a global pan dig we saw increase in investment in food security and public safety and other community resources we saw funding go from this to this

because of our federal support. and nonprofits many minot have been able to set up shop still received grant fund thanksgiving we allocated to them whether they were doing the work or not. and the point is -- we are at a different time even 3 there may be shifts and perceived cuts the fact is many of the organizations are still being made whole. there is a shift we are out of the pandemic. there are some things need anded some things that are not needed and making, justmentless the q that is making sure that the thing that san franciscans care about more than anything now is how do we make sure that someone does not get hurt because someone is in the midst of committing i crime. we are doing everything we can to make sure there are officers and ambassadors and people and eyes and ears on streets to deal with what people are impacted

by. that folks know that criminals cannot come to san francisco and get, way with committing crimes and not be held accountable that is what i say. because we need to if you in perspective. everybody is crying about a cut but it it is not exactly how they are crafting it which means that for those. you have interests to engetting down in the weeds of the budget and looking at the perspective, of how the organizations have grown considering since i have been mayor, and when we had to do to make adjustments people will be made whole they will be doing business and we are still moving the city forward but this investment is need in the public safety. >> you are everthe 11th hour the message was to the board as they go in the last days of negotiations. >> message has been very clear.

because and i'm hoping they are hearing from constituents because i hear from them temperature is public safety. public safety. on all levels. the need to see officers and ambassadors and people walking the beechlt need to make sure when a crime is committed machine is accountable this . is manage from all over communities throughout san francisco. we know there are certain areas are more challenged. but we have deposit to listen to the people who we represent. and as i said earlier the biggest priorities is to make sure that as leaders that we have safe cities. this we are investing and keeping residents of our city safe. that has got to be a prior no chipping, way at a bit here and there to pay for a neighborhood pet project. because what good are the

neighborhood pet projects if people don't feel safe. we have to be we have to make tht number one priority. >> yea. >> there are some businesses that say for example someone [inaudible] who are saying that heel close his 2 businesses because he never got help from the city. what do you say to him and others who are that close to closing or made up their minds already. >> i do i will say that some of the programs this we invested in for small businesses have really done remarkable things. first year free where new businesses opened get all city fees waived incredible. our various signs programs from economic and work formals development. where we invest in helping people with parklets and build outs. and supporting various neighborhoods people will need to apply they have to do have to

go through a process. but there are grants and there are upon no interest loans there are when some of the windows broken there say broken window fund we help to support businesses. i think that might be true for some businesses i would say to any small business they should reach out to office of economic and workforce development on the whoonld you have someone who is struggling on another hand you have i met business owners who got help who are in business because they were able to get the help at the right point when they needed t. we want to protect our small buildings. there is money my budget currently and look i than the board is looking at everything they are looking at office economic and workforce development. i don't want to put that money on reserves the businesses need this money now. they don't need a bureaucracy to get a few dollars to pay staff

and keep doors open. well is money to invest in our budget we ask small businesses to reach out to us. >> it is for chief scott. chief, you mentioned more higher interest in cadets. why are people thinking about joining the san francisco police department now. >> the we are competitive the board passed a package to increase salaries that made us compet than i in this area and this area competition is stiff. other thing i believe people are seeing victims made and the city and public safety in the police department that matters.

you know if you are chose tos choose between know one police department or another you look at benefit and saul rows and support. you look how that police department and this offices are treated when those go on awry i continuing is more desirable. in and doing a lot of work t. is a nobody's game it is also a game of qualitiment the right people who want to serve the city with heart those other people we are attract. saul reese the passport for the police department has done i one 80 in the last few years. and those things matter. and it is more than just more than just joining a police department to join a police department. we hope that our folks are here for 30 years or more all the

things they look at and this turns it around we are seeing the results with applications. thank you. we are done with the press and so if there are other questions from the public we will take those at that time. thank you, everybody for being here today. appreciate it. thank you! [applause] clear clear [music] digital literacy is something

severely lacking in our world today and it takes a lot to understand that. food water and shelter have basic necessities so long we forget about wifi and connection to the interenet and when you go into communities and realize peep ople are not able to load homework and talk to teachers and out of touch with the world. by providing the network and system we are able to allow them to keep up in the modern age. >> folks still were not served by internet throughout the city and tended to be low income people, people in affordable housing. people of color and limited english and seniors, all those are high concentrations in affordable housing, so we thought given that we had a fiber network that stretched throughout the city reaching deep into neighborhoods that would be a perfect opportunity to address it in san francisco.

>> the infrastructure the city and star help us run are dejtle programs. it played a critical role from the time we opened during covid till now so we were able to collaborate with online services that offer tutoring and school support. it also helped us be able to log the kids on for online school during covid, in addition to like, now that everybody has switched most of their curriculum online we can log kids on to the online homework, check grades in addition to helping parent learn how to use the school system portm >> the office of digital equity our goal fiber to housing is insure we have all three legs of the 3 legged stool. the first leg is high quality internet connection. we liken the high quality

internet connection to the highway. the second leg is high quality devices. this is the car. you want to make sure the specks on the car is up to speed and lastly, it is important to get kind of that driver's education to learn how to navigate the road, to know the signs to watch out for in terms of making sure you are school while you are surfing the internet it is private so that is the digital literacy piece. >> my daily life i need the internet just to do pretty much everything. the internet has taken so much control over people's daily lives including myself that i just need it to get certain jobs done, i need it for my life. i need it. >> the program really seeks to where ever possible provide a service that's equivalent or higher speed and quality as the best commercial service . >> we serve all of san francisco, but we definitely have to be equitable

in our distribution of services. that means everybody gets what they need to be successful. >> actually one of the most gratifying part of my work here at department of technology, it is really bringing city resources to address problems faced with our communities with the highest need. >> i think it is important because i grew up in a low income community without internet access and it is hard. i think it is important for everyone to have internet access no matter their income and maybe one day their kid will have internet access for us and help the school and with their skills.

>> bring up person that [laughter]. for me it was we had neighbors growing up that were fold my dad he is raising me wrong for having me pursue the things that are not traditionally female roles. and i think the biggest barrier to anyone in general is when you have cultural norms that make you feel like you can't do something that make you doubt yourself and make you feel you should not be there i don't belong. those other big efbarriers i think that is the thing to focus on the most is belong everyone should belong here.

[music] >> wishing we trained women grow in production. and recording arts and so we have everything from girls night classes for middle and high school girls. we have certification academy program. that would be women and gender [inaudible] adid you tell us. progress in the internship frm program where they are working in the studios. they are helping to mentor the youth in the youth programs and the job place am component. most of the time we hire interns instructors in our programs and engineer in our studios here. we have conferences we do all overnight country and we have

concerts that we feature bay area women and gender artists. [music] [music] >> an education forward organization. and so advocacy organization. dedicated to closing the gender gap and the audio and production industries. >> started out of the lead answer, why is there a critical gender gap in this industry that started at city college. why are there so few in this

class i was ashamed i did not have the answer being a feminist. why have i never thought of this i have been in the industry for decades and why have i accept today of all people. it was out of that and unraffling it. actually started the infernship last fall and just fell in love with all the things about women's oshg mission because we are diverse and so many aspects of audio i did not know and i feel like eyes opened up and i gained a lot of confidence in myself and other fells and queer people in the industry i felt there was more connection and community. ironically my time in the industry is all pretty good. i think what happened is i was raised by a father who is an engineer. i was comfortable being strounlded by men all the time in his lab i was used to technology. when i got in industry my mentors were men and i saw i had a unique importance that got mow in the place i could be fluent and navigate something difficult and it was the norm for me. what if it was not woman was createed provide it for everybody. have this environment you are surrounded by technology and people that are going to support you and get you in this industry in a good way. i have been interested in audio i was never trained in music took piano when i was a kid. i never pursued it because not a lot of women doing that. and my family is not musically inclined. when i want to davis the first time i took a music class there were few females in the class.

like a rodey for my dayed was load you will the mixers and monitors and the giant speakers and gigs and help run out the cables and take things down and set up mics i did all of that growing up and never occurred to mow that that was a field they could at all. and then one i could pursue i didn't nobody else was doing temperature my dad and then i go with him to studios and see -- the men in the studio. dj for 5 years now and comments you get like wow you are a girl dj that is crazy. that is wild. and i have great moments where it does not happen. and they treat me like easy. telling mow what to do they correct mow in ways that make me

feel less i sprjs the opposite and i notice hand's on like you don't know what you are doing rather than asking me. not consistent times it happens. it is like when i talk to other females they are like say the same things it is like funny i know that nice men don't experience tht main thing triggers me when i experience different treatment and that happens a lot in the audio world. industry is changing slowly. there is still that issue making the places that are places belonging for everybody. i don't think so. having a studio where it is not all run by white men like most studios. the studios are only in the word built and run by women. it has been super normalize

thered are opportunity for girls and nonbinary people. you go in school and middle and high schoolers know that this is a field. this is a thing there are many jobs you can have in this field. some producing pod casts to setting up live shows. there are so many things you can do >> wee go in and teach the audio skills and give them equipment. i pads and then teach them how to make music and they get to come in here and will getting the tools to people who don't have t. that is really important to me. that's why i was like wow. i want to be there for other fell and queer people who don't have the opportunity and also to be a mentor for them to really push them to experiment and not going to break it. does not matter if it sounds bad that is the point to try it. i think it is the goal to see

confidence what they are doing and passionate and asking for hymn and excite body learning and excited about making music and it changed my life to realize i'm callented in the field i can make music without being trained to it it is amazing to be able to be part of that process and -- ushering women to the field. we can entirely transform how -- the technology part of what you hear every day. we can put xhg something in women's points of view in this every time. it affects the store and he messaging. think our best example is how we transformed an entire city. place that major artists on tour one of the men looks likeip don't get it there are woman

every where i go and the person was like you are in san francisco. you like oh , you are right it is here. most venues have graduates we are grateful to the city for that reason because than i supported us at the beginning. following your curiosity and interest and don't let anybody get in the way what is presented to you, go for t. no matter what! we are here for a reason. find what it is. don't let somebody else tell you what it is. you are the oldsmobile one that have been can know when you are supposed to do. go do it.

dev mission's goal is aiming to train young adults, youth so we can be a wealth and disparity in underserved communities like where we are today. my name is leo sosa. i'm the founder and executive director for devmission. we're sitting inside a computer lab where residents come and get support when they give help about how to set up an e-mail account. how to order prescriptions online. create a résumé. we are also now paying attention to provide tech support. we have collaborated with the

san francisco mayor's office and the department of technology to implement a broad band network for the residents here so they can have free internet access. we have partnered with community technology networks to provide computer classes to the seniors and the residents. so this computer lab becomes a hub for the community to learn how to use technology, but that's the parents and the adults. we have been able to identify what we call a stem date. the acronym is science technology engineering and math. kids should be exposed no matter what type of background or ethnicity or income status. that's where we actually create magic. >> something that the kids are really excited about is science and so the way that we execute that is through making slime. and as fun as it is, it's still a chemical reaction and you start to understand that with

the materials that you need to make the slime. >> they love adding their little twists to everything. it's just a place for them to experiment and that's really what we want. >> i see. >> really what the excitement behind that is that you're making something. >> logs, legos, sumo box, art, drawing, computers, mine craft, and really it's just awaking opportunity. >> keeping their attention is like one of the biggest challenges that we do have because, you know, they're kids. they always want to be doing something, be helping with something. so we just let them be themselves. we have our set of rules in place that we have that we want them to follow and live up to. and we also have our set of expectations that we want them to achieve. this is like my first year officially working with kids. and definitely i've had moments where they're not getting something. they don't really understand it and you're trying to just talk

to them in a way that they can make it work teaching them in different ways how they can get the light bulb to go off and i've seen it first-hand and it makes me so happy when it does go off because it's like, wow, i helped them understand this concept. >> i love playing games and i love having fun with my friends playing dodge ball and a lot of things that i like. it's really cool. >> they don't give you a lot of cheese to put on there, do they? you've got like a little bit left. >> we learn programming to make them work. we do computers and programming. at the bottom here, we talk to

them and we press these buttons to make it go. and this is to turn it off. and this is to make it control on its own. if you press this twice, it can do any type of tricks. like you can move it like this and it moves. it actually can go like this. >> like, wow, they're just absorbing everything. so it definitely is a wholehearted moment that i love experiencing. >> the realities right now, 5.3 latinos working in tech and about 6.7 african americans working in tech. and, of course, those tech companies are funders. so i continue to work really hard with them to close that

gap and work with the san francisco unified school district so juniors and seniors come to our program, so kids come to our stem hub and be exposed to all those things. it's a big challenge. >> we have a couple of other providers here on site, but we've all just been trying to work together and let the kids move around from each department. some kids are comfortable with their admission, but if they want to jump in with city of dreams or hunter's point, we just try to collaborate to provide the best opportunity in the community. >> devmission has provided services on westbrook. they teach you how to code. how to build their own mini robot to providing access for the youth to partnerships with adobe and sony and google and twitter. and so devmission has definitely brought access for

our families to resources that our residents may or may not have been able to access in the past. >> the san francisco house and development corporation gave us the grant to implement this program. it hasn't been easy, but we have been able to see now some of the success stories of some of those kids that have been able to take the opportunity and continue to grow within their education and eventually become a very successful citizen. >> so the computer lab, they're doing the backpacks. i don't know if you're going to be able to do the class. you still want to try? . yeah. go for it. >> we have a young man by the name of ivan mello. he came here two and a half years ago to be part of our digital arts music lab. graduating with natural, fruity

loops, rhymes. all of our music lyrics are clean. he came as an intern, and now he's running the program. that just tells you, we are only creating opportunities and there's a young man by the name of eduardo ramirez. he tells the barber, what's that flyer? and he says it's a program that teaches you computers and art. and i still remember the day he walked in there with a baseball cap, full of tattoos. nice clean hair cut. i want to learn how to use computers. graduated from the program and he wanted to work in i.t.. well, eduardo is a dreamer. right. so trying to find him a job in the tech industry was very challenging, but that didn't stop him. through the effort of the office of economic work force
