need for san francisco to accelerate progress. the packet you got includes 7 recommendations from the vision zero coalition. we believe are crucial as san franciscoers the second decade of vision zero first coalition is asking the department of environment to the recommitment. next, we are look to you to do everything in your power to enact the recommendations. changes are needed on how projects are prioritized, plans, managed, funded and delivered. the number of people who continue to be hurt and kill in the traffic crashes those outside of a vehicle, shows what the city has done so far is in the sufficient for the size and depth of the practical. traffic violence threatens our lives and quality of life. safe streets are what strong

neighborhoods and a thriving equal, climb friendly city are built on. thank you for your leadership on and your commitment to vision zero. >> good evening. i'm -- a resident of bayview district. and even though it might be your purview i like to bring your attention to the fact that out of the district in san francisco bayview is the most has the least of tree cover. compared with rich people in the northwest. so i'd like to bring your attention. i locked at the climate action plan you have, that zone will be threatened. so i like to you bring your attention to the fact we need more trees it is industrial, the inner of the san francisco where everything is made.

program manager at the environment department. >> i'm here to introduce the next item an update on the city's hazzard and climate resilience plan. city's plan is a companion to the climate action plan. so the hazzard and climate resilience plan looks at protecting our infrastructure and our people from the affects of climate change we are known as climate adaptation the plan looks at reducing green house gas and reducing harmful climate flugz mrougz i'm here to introduce melissa from office of resilience and capitol planning for an update on that important document. >> thank you. as i understand and he thank you commissioners for having me today. >> is this possible more for me to stand to the side? great.

so again i'm with office of resilience and capitol plan negligent office of the city add administrator. and i'm here to talk to you about the 2025 update to the hazzard and climate plan. and my goal is to help make sure they are aware and the work we are doing. the role it plays in climate in the city. and also the world that the department of the environment play in this plan. and provide an opportunity for members ever public, and commissioners to provide feedback. >> this plan is a citywide action plan. to improve resilience and reduce risks to hazzards and climate change impacts. includes priority actions could be project, plans or programs for strategic funding. we have it for a few reasons. one of them is a federal requirement. in order to be eligible for fema grants we need to have the plan

serves the mitigation plan and we also need to update it every 5 years. so we need to update by july of 25 to remain eligible for key source of funding. at the state level, it helps us with compliance with sb379 and as sinldzy mentioned. it is a companion to the climate action plan and safety and resilience element and the sf strategy. why there is a draft rabble for public comment that is the reasons why i'm here today. >> a bit more about the scope. it covers 13 different hazards natural hazards we face in san francisco. it includes information about how climate change is make them more freak went or severe. and we try to make that hazzard information more accessible to the public. so that you know people in

organizations are able toarc sesz the same information we are using for planning. we have story maps available on hyphen. and where folks toggle different hazards or zoom in a community of their interests and learn more. >> and a bit more about the scope. and how we think about climate resilience in san francisco. cindy mentioned this plan is a bit more on the yellow side of the diagram on the climate adaptation side and safe guarding people and buildings and community from climate hazards. we make many connections across to the blue side climate mitigation. corrections in the plan million dollars mobility. healthy housing and ecosystems and trips. to the extent possible we are trying to work in the middle space. >> our approach to the update

has been targeted since in 2020 we did a comprehensive update. we have been working with staff from across the city to incorporate new science. like the reports you see around extreme precipitation or ground water respondents to sea level rise and the new plans that have come out since 2020 like the climate action plan and heat resilience plan. we have been trying to do more prioritization with this update. the last plan had 96 different actions and through prioritization thinking about fees abltd and benefits got that down to 74. we have focused engagement in environmental justice communities and meeting community groups they are meeting to provide a low barrier to entry folksmenting to learn and provide feedback. a bit more about what we heard

during our community engage am events did 15 different acat this points in the community. i think may be most interests to the commission might be -- you know focus on energy from the community. people are concerned about energy access and prices and interested in support for electrification. people are concerned about the grid over all and reliability. especially in extreme weather and interested in having more access to back up power. >> also probably interests is transportation. was a theme we heard especially reliable service in the face of more extreme events. this gives you a bit of an over view of the main part of the plan. our strategy. we have 3 pill arts building,

communities and infrastructure and we have 17 different objectives that organize those 74 actions. and the arrows here help point out where sfe plays a role in this plan. and so the darker yellow where the department of environment has actions they play a leadership role in and the lighter yellow are objectives where they lead -- partners on the actions. so the department of environment plays a role in working on buildings. resilience and environmental health. capacity building. electric power systems and resill iant power. and nature based solutions. i will highlight a few of those as examples for you all and i can answer more specific questions as well. >> enemy terms of actions the department of environment is listed as a lead. those would be in supporting

increased building electrification. mechanical upgrade and weatherization. expanding the hazzard waste collection and city efforts to conserve biodiversity. department on environment is lead on many other actions across the city. the resilience at critical facilities. drought tolerance >> biodiversity. increasing the ricell yens and affordable housing rehab. and design guidance for capitol planning and surfaces, capacity building and community engage am. the department of environment plays a role in climate resilience citywide. >> there are other strategies are not lead or have department of environment as a key partner

help advance the climate action plan. these are here for your reference to demonstrate the key intersection between climate action and resilience. this plan is availability for public comment until the end of assessment. i'm doing presentations to raise awareness. briefing the board members and i will take feedback i hear from the engagements and i will be updating the plan for a final draft to submit in october. they can take up to sick months review and give feedback and after that submitting to the board of supervisors for adoption. >> with that, thank you for your time. and i'm happy to answer questions. or hear feedback you may have. thank you. thank you.

any questions? >> open up public comment. thank you. >> are there members of public who wish to comment on this item? we have no more speakers >> public comment is closed. next item, please yoochl item 7. review and vote whether to approve file 2024-07-coe authorizing environment department recommendation for grant amendments for san francisco school district. grant award for 23-25 grant cycle. sponsor is leo the deputy director. the original speaker could not make it but the program manager will present on her behalf. >> thank you. why part of our standards procedures bring an amendment for the unified school district

grant to you for your consideration. as a grant to a government entity a competitive solicitation was not required and will provide details about the grant amendment in her presentation. >> thank you,lyo. good evening. commissioners. community partnerships and engage am program manager at department of environment. i'm representing esther tang who leads the environmental education team and she is sick, unfortunately. so, aslyo said i request you approve a grant amendment for grant to the san francisco unified school district. it is an environmental education grant. the funding source for this grant is zero waste funding. >> sfusd has been a partner to the department. they have supported a number of initiatives including school sites and facilities

improvements. youth programming and cordination with teachers and youth. >> and while the time line of the grant would remay not same through us this amendment, we would like to add 200 thousand dollars to the grant. and modify the scope of work. so prior to the modification the original scope was limited to an over night field trip program for students to learn and experience out door education connected to nature. the additional funding will enable the grantee partially fund two staff members. one staff member would provide facility support for the initiative and another staff member engage teach and students in climate action and zero waste initiatives. i will conclude by saying that

we rely on our partnership with the sfusd to meet our goals around environmental education. and this funding would help us would support us on the operations and facility's side and the programming side. so, i hope that you will approve this amendment. thank you. >> just a quick question. the grant increase on 66, 266,000. the grant starting left year 2023, correct. how much has been expand already? and is that for personnel to increase or 200,000? >> the 200,000 is for personnel. it would support partial funding for two staff positions. i would have to get back to you because esther would have the information on how much is

remaining. i don't knowlyo? >> of the 200 thousand the intention is for about half to have been the fiscal year that has past and 100 thousand is the fiscal going forward. i don't know if it is that amount tht concept. and we had originally moved forward with mou with sfusd that their attorneys were on board. after consulting with our city attorney as well as with the controller's office we recall told use a grant mechanism rather than relationship with another government entity outside of the city. so, that is why we decided to use just grant making victim as the way to move forward based on consultation with our city attorney that was an appropriate way to move forward. >> okay. >> any other questions or

discussion, commissioner hunter >> i am curious around the additional funding to engage teachers and students on environmental education. do you know the k pi that the program will set up around or that this grant will index on? if we should e mail efthey're is okay, too. >> i might ask eftory follow up with you i know that the staff position that supporting the programming work was instrumental in helping us coordinate our fellowship program last year as well as hosting a very large climate action youth summit. there was engagement with teachers around solutionary -- thinking around climate action as well as engaging the youth in coming up with their climate action projects i imagine that position will continue to support the efforts. regarding k pi's i will ask

esther to follow up with you. >> just a follow up is it one event like the summit or a lot of prep work prior that the staff are working? >> there is a lot of prep work. prior to the summit. the fellowship program engages youth over a long are period of time. to help them develop their climate action projectses there are a series of meetings with the fellows to -- you know to help them develop ideas. and learning around climate action. different modules. and the work with the teachers to help them understands how they can engage youth as well and -- climate action work. yea. >> any other question sns or comments? >> on this?

>> motion by commissioner ahn. >> second? anyone? second commissioner yuen. >> and let's open for public comment. are there members of public who wish to comment on this item? we have no speakers. public comment is closed. call the role >> president wan >> commissioner ahn >> aye >> commissioner bermejo. >> aye >> commissioner hunter. >> aye >> commissioner thompkins. >> aye >> commissioner yern >> aye >> the next is item 8 review and vote to approve adopting reduced risk pesticide list the sponsor is leo chi the speaker integrated pest management program manager and this is for discussion and action.

>> thank you very much. today's discussion on the reduced risk pesticide list is the final part of a process our pest management program conduct its make sure we minimize use of the most limited pesticideos city properties and seek safer alternatives san francisco environment to review and update the reduced risk list in august had a public hearing heard departments explain the work including use of tier one the most hazardous pesticides and any product exemptions that they were. granted. plaintiffs take their work seriously and this is why we are able to maintain low levels of tier one use. i will go ahead and turn it over to the doctor who will share more about our ip m and the changes to the los angeles. thank you. >> wonderful.

thank you. >> >> good evening. commissioners. tonight will share information about our integrated pest management program and proposed reduced risk pesticide list. our pest management team to you. on i'm shonaire the program manager at sf environment i start in the 2022. my teammate gabrielle hernandez and i implement the program. tuesday's action is to review and vote on whether to approve the reduced risk pesticide list for city properties for 2024.

note that these are pesticides for use at san francisco municipal properties and the integrated pest management ordinance has no authority over private and commercial uses of registered pesticides. i want to share the ip m program established in 96 it is more than a pesticide monitoring or reduction program. it is more of a harm reduction program that manages risks base said on the pests that need to be dealt with as well as the pesticide hazzards and amounts used. and the program really involved landscape and structure management. education. and training opportunity for staff. alternatives analysis and invokes precautionary principle encourages caution where there is potential for harm this work

involved reducing harmful pesticides and disease spread by vectors and protecting native plants and habitat from invasive vegetation. so, with that here is what i will cover in today's presentation. i will describe the ip m activities in the left year. information about the over all pesticide trends in san francisco and the 2023 calendar year. and tell you the ideas i have for the program over the next year. and i will finish where wouldation on reduced risk list. i will share a program accomplish am the last year. city departments reduced use by 93.8% from 2010 to 23. tier one the highest hazzard and the highest priority for identifying a replacement with a safer alternative.

and herbicide use is interested to the public in past years which is why i'm reporting on tier one use here. the current citywide pest control contract is ending soon. i have been working with office of contract administration over the last few months to create and implement a request for proposals for city pest management service. and the process is under way. a new contract has not been awarded and i will note that all pest management contractors with the city not just the awardee is subject to the ordinance and choosing products from the reduced risk list. >> also we have secured an alliance grant from the california department of pest side regulation to support ip m and affordable how doing. my colleague ray mannion with environmental justice program is am spearheading this work this project funded by the grant

focuses on physically excluding pests from structures that will reduce pest levels and pesticide use for the life of the building. that grant total is 320 thousand dollars and the project began in march of this year. to date over 1200 units in pest proofing inspections and 10 affordable housing properties have been completed. >> i'm congress the accomplish ams the last year. here. we have continued to convene monthly ip m meetings they are really one of our core activities. most of our meetings held virtual. we were able to convene a hybrid meeting bruit brought the urban foresxeft arborist staff with ip m staff in person. and some of the topics we discuss instead last year include habitat restoration. rodent management and urban

pollinator gardens i seen they provide good forums for ip m professionals to farewayed tips on how to manage the problems limning the use of harmful pesticides. . >> we have continued to convene ip m training for city departments. topics were coverd that are relevant to what the city staff are encountering in their jobs. i heard sessions on ip m manageants invasive plant identification. and mechanical strategies for weed management. and i'm looking forward to continuing the work with city department staff and learning about the work going on on city properties. i'm showing you here a graph of the tier one pesticide use trend within san francisco proper from the baseline year of 2010 to 23.

tier one are the highest hazzard and the highest priority for identifying a replacement with a safer alternative. so the horizontal acts of the graphs shows the year and vertical the pesticide applied. the data show that city departments reduced use by 97. 9% since 2010 and over the last 5 years of pest side data we collected tier one use on city owned properties reduced by 97.3% or better. compared to 2010. i want to say a thank you tot city departments for ip m work that result negligence limitation of the harmful pest sides. >> this is a graph of pesticide use on city properties within

san francisco from tier 3 or least hazardous use the dotted green line. the tier two or more are reflected the dashed pink line and tier one or most hazardous are reflected by the solid purple line. i showed in the previous sloo rid tier worn at city properties decreased then.9% over the years. we target the tore worns for reduction in use. you will see that there was a rise in tier 3 pesticide use around 2020. tier threes are food grade products like essential oils and they can include soap. and a reason we see a tier 3 pesticide use increase along side reduction of tier one and two product system that often times we need a large are amount of safer tier 3 product in order

to replace a tier one product. >> so, relative to 2022, pesticide use we see that in 23. tier one use increased slightly. tier 2 use decreased slightly and tier 3 use increased. here i'm showing activities i have in mind for the coming year. we will build and maintaining our relationships with city ip m staff and expandingor knowledge on san francisco's pest problems. and so we want to do more field visits and seeing the spaces where pests are manage said. with our improved knowing of the pest problems will be positioned to identify solution strategies. that will help us limit or avoid the use of harmful pest siesd. like to continue offering a hybrid format for the meeting so they have the option of joining

person. we need to make update to the pesticide use reporting system data base we manage. this is the data base we use to track the pesticides used on city properties and rely on to generate the graphs i show you. data base updates are under way now. we like to work occupanting the content of the website. and will. conduct the toxilogical reviews of pesticides useod san francisco municipal properties. okay. so. now talk about the reduced risk list or rrpl. the proposed changes come as after we gone throughout process. . that our program conducts to make sure we are minizing the use of the limited pesticideos properties and seek safer alternatives. we convened the work groups with ip m professionals to review and

update the reduced list and last month we hel a hearing where we heard departments explain their ip m work including use of the tier one and pesticide product exemptions they were granted. so that's the process we have gone through that brings me to the summary here of the proposed risk pesticide list changes and for anyone who wants to see all the specifics of the changes here in the audience you can see those in the attachments we have for agenda item 8. posted on the page for this meeting. we are propotion the addition of one tier two or more hazardous product for vegetation management. proposing addition of one tier three least hazzard us insecticide intended to replace a different tier 3 no longer available for purchase. there is one tier one or most

hazzard us marked for removal. the golf course fungicide that is no longer made and there are three tier 2 products and one tier 3 product we marked for removal. they are no longer used by city departmentsor departments no longer have them in stock for use. we updated the language for 16 productos reduced risk list. examples are things like updating the product name. updating or correct the registration numbers. updating the ingredients and clarifying instructions and limitations. thank you very much for your attention. were our e mail address is here that will reach us on the team and i'm happy to address questions or comments thank you for the presentation. anyone have discussion and

comments? >> yes, commissioner hunter? one of my irrelevant faprograms thank you. a few questions/comments. the grant for pest proofing fascinating would like an update but upon excite busy that work. the second thing is we have seen pesticide use for tier one go down since 2017 and just level out a bit. i'm curious your thoughts establishing a guard rail for tier one? rather than at the current baseline? saying hey, we want to establish a threshold we should not pass over or alternatives how the structure does not stay measurement style. i'm curious if the department vs thoughts or something the department has >> you know that a great suggestion i have not considered that before. it has not come up in the

discussions i participated in thus far. you are right. you knowledge the tier one use is really dropped and stayed within a samish range for a few years now. i think what i like to do is get more information on where are we using the most tier one and what are with the pest problems that are being addressed by them. and gauge you know with the stake holders what that might look like? how feedfeasible the idea is a cap or you are proposing. >> again, guard rail never a cap. we don't live in a perfect world. right >> generally, i think i would be curious to see based off if we are using on the golf course acknowledge that is where it happen and where it will stay. our public park may want to consider alternatives. my last of question a few marked

prior to find alternatives the previous year and i think some years before that. how are we doing on finding alternatives. >> thank you for that question. in some case we need to invest more research inform figuring out are there market priority availabilities for those -- products. are there alternatives available on the market and seeing what solutions there are, so, yes we need to take a look at those. will they have been on the list for a time. so we need to look and figure out where we can make changes. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. other questions? >> comments? >> okay. do we go to public comment and

sorry. do we have a motion to approve? okay. i will second. >> all right. motion by commissioner bermejo and second by south american hunter. open for public comment. publicity sxhent closed wrochl president wan >> aye >> commissioner ahn >> aye >> commissioner bermejo >> aye >> commissioner hunter. aye >> commissioner thompkins. >> aye >> commissioner yuen >> aye >> next item. >> item upon 9 presentation on the virtual warehouse program the experience is socko city

government senior cord narrator. speaker is ahn wan and this is for discussion. >> good evening. i'm socko and i manage the city government zero waste team here to talk about the san francisco virtual warehouse program. >> so, city employees are responsible for a wide variety of facilities and operation bunkham. we have everything from parks to venues to wastewater treatment and as you imagine produce and manage many deficient materials. and each operation has unique needs and opportunity for improve am. however, every department is opinion to follow our zero waste hierarchy and today we will show you how city gentleman is implementing the reuse part of

that hierarchy. >> so. the ware how was program is governed by the surplus disposal ordinance under chapter 21 of the code. . . therapy chapter establishes a hierarchy for the redistribution of surplus city owned equipment. in the hierarchy starts with reuse amongst departments and high value materials. donations to nonprofit and schools and proper recycling and or disposal of materials the end of the life. >> so. before there was a virtual warehouse there was a physical warehouse operated by the surplus disposal manager under the city add administrator's office. that warehouse was closed down in 2004 and in 2005 the platform

was established. when the surplus disposal manager retired environment department agreed to take on the program it aline with thes ordinance which requires the city departments to recover resources as much as possible. >> society virtual ware how was is a base program to facilitate city furniture. computers and other equip temperature helps prevent items for going in the land fill and saveos disposal costs and helps reach our goal. we have gone through two iterations of the warehouse. when i started with the city i was the virtual associate. i will talk about that. but some of the requirements of warehouse are to have all city owned items submit federal they are surplus. all items theory in good

condition are required to be posted for a minimum of 30-days that is a minimum not the max if city departments hold on to the items longer then that is great. it has more time for people to look on the virtual warehouse to see if there is anything they need. items not used for personal use. city departments cannot decide to take that item home. >> so the first platform was internal. created by d. technology for the city. it required somebody going out with paper form. take measure ams of the different departments and coming become and on the website. and addition we does not have a platform nonprofits and schools could see. we had to post them on the external platform as well. in 2010, we updated the platform

using google. this works better in the sense that everybody could look at items on the virtual warehouse at the same time. we did nohave to post on two different plat forms. it was more administratively intensive. the add administratoreen though materials are turned in electronically the add administrator has to post them online and facilitate the departments for pick up or nonprofits. for pick up. so, we are going through an evolutionil turn it over to my colleague to tell you about that. >> thank you. good evening. xhshs i'm annie wan i'm administrating the virtual warehouse program. we wanted to focus on stream

lining the process. cut down the time and for city departments to have more ownership. we researchd and locked in website platform options. >> which listed you to the current on line version with [inaudible]. base in the chicago and online management system. this is an opportunity started from another zero waste initiative for managing building materials. received the neutral city alliance, game change are fund grant to pilot building product suppliers post reclaimed products to connect people to development market for building products. we enter immediate a pilot contract for the warehouse to serve as a prove of concept. >> in the first naz conducted interview sessions with user on the current version. they wanted understand when was

working and what weekend be improved. we worked test out the platform and made adjustments based on feedback. really explaining why needs based on our requirements. leading ump to the lunch we informed city departments on the new update. we planned on boarding sessions where we wanted being informative and interactive. we invited user, zero waste to send 3 sessions. users got to create accounts and test out posting items and had a first preview of the platform. this was really good opportunity top reiterate our goal of zero waste and promoting reuse. >> we are happy to say that we officially launch in the june of 23 and we started with the city departments. and we opened up to external organization in number of 23.

users up load photoos the items. and through this function users finds items based on the category. there is a direct message feature allow owners to answer questions the dimension or the color and over all saved time to coordinate the peck ups. and key functions the platform history reporting capabilities. >> so here other statistics to daed date when the program de began. 213,000 items reused. the total cost replacement which means what would have cost if we purchased a new item was 12 million dollars. and total weight recover side 1,

788 tons. >> throughout platform there has been tremendous improvements there are areas of growth here are considerations for next steps. >> we would like to address challenges based on the feedback from users and stroll line the process ensuring all city departments will turn in the items through the platform. want to make sure it user friendly and thinking about creating videos and want to continue to expand our out leech and messaging. >> with that, that's an over view of virtual warehouse. thank you for your time and we are happy to answer quests you may have. >> thank you. impressive. fellow commissioner, anyone have comments or questions? >> commissioner hunter? >> cool program.

you guys are doing great work. keep up >> i continuing is impressive. i wanted echo that. what a great program and other cities also doing this work in and something that is the government as well. >> so we have two different counties. alameda as a program and san mateo. we presented at the california resource and recovery association conference to talk about ways to learn from each county to improve our programs. >> thank you. >> is there potential to expand this program outside offeen -- our government may be suppliers or partners, grown there is room. >> it is like the next version of that. now we are trying to get city departments to use the platform as designed. but there is language in the

[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 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.

>> in the bay area as a whole, thinking about environmental sustainability. we have been a leader in the country across industries in terms of what you can do and we have a learn approach. that is what allows us to be successful. >> what's wonderful is you have so many people who come here and they are what i call policy innovators and whether it's banning plastic bags, recycling, composting, all the different things that we can do to improve the environment. we really champion. we are at recycle central, a large recycle fail on san francisco pier 96. every day the neighborhood trucks that pick up recycling from the blue bins bring 50 # o tons of bottles, cans and paper

here to this facility and unload it. and inside recology, san francisco's recycling company, they sort that into aluminum cans, glass cans, and different type of plastic. san francisco is making efforts to send less materials to the landfill and give more materials for recycling. other cities are observing this and are envious of san francisco's robust recycling program. it is good for the environment. but there is a lot of low quality plastics and junk plastics and candy wrappers and is difficult to recycle that. it is low quality material. in most cities that goes to landfill. >> looking at the plastics industry, the oil industry is the main producer of blastics. and as we have been trying to

phase out fossil fuels and the transfer stream, this is the fossil fuels and that plastic isn't recycled and goes into the waste stream and the landfill and unfortunately in the ocean. with the stairry step there will be more plastic in the ocean than fish. >> we can recycle again and again and again. but plastic, maybe you can recycle it once, maybe. and that, even that process it downgrades into a lower quality material. >> it is cheaper for the oil industry to create new plastics and so they have been producing more and more plastics so with our ab793, we have a bill that really has a goal of getting our beverage bottles to be made of more recycled content so by the time 2030 rolls around t recycle content in a coke bottle, pepsi

bottle, water bottle, will be up to 50% which is higher thatten the percentage in the european union and the highest percentage in the world. and that way you can actually feel confident that what you're drinking will actually become recycled. now, our recommendation is don't use to plastic bottle to begin w but if you do, they are committing to 50% recycled content. >> the test thing we can do is vote with our consumer dollars when we're shopping. if you can die something with no packaging and find loose fruits and vegetables, that is the best. find in packaging and glass, metal and pap rer all easily recycled. we don't want plastic. we want less plastic. awe what you we do locally is we have the program to think disposable and work one on one to provide technical assistance to swap out the disposable food

service to reusables and we have funding available to support businesses to do that so that is a way to get them off there. and i believe now is the time we will see a lot of the solutions come on the market and come on the scene. >> and is really logistics company and what we offer to restaurants is reasonable containers that they can order just like they would so we came from about a pain point that a lot of customers feel which wills a lot of waste with takeout and deliver, even transitioning from styrofoam to plastic, it is still wasteful. and to dream about reusing this one to be re-implemented and cost delivery and food takeout. we didn't have throwaway culture always. most people used to get delivered to people's homes and

then the empty milk containers were put back out when fresh milk came. customers are so excited that we have this available in our restaurant and came back and asked and were so excited about it and rolled it out as customers gain awareness understanding what it is and how it works and how they can integrate it into their life. >> and they have always done it and usually that is a way of being sustainable and long-term change to what makes good financial sense especially as there are shipping issues and material issues and we see that will potentially be a way that

we can save money as well. and so i think making that case to other restaurateurs will really help people adopt this. >> one restaurant we converted 2,000 packages and the impact and impact they have in the community with one switch. and we have been really encouraged to see more and more restaurants cooperate this. we are big fans of what re-ecology does in terms of adopting new systems and understanding why the current system is broken. when people come to the facility, they are shocked by how much waste they see and the volume of the operations and how much technology we have

dedicated to sort correctly and we led 25 tours and for students to reach about 1100 students. and they wanted to make change and this is sorting in the waste stream they do every single day and they can take ownership of and make a difference with. >> an i feel very, very fortunate that i get to represent san francisco in the legislature and allows me to push the envelope and it is because of the people the city attracts and is because of the eco system of policy thinking that goes on in san francisco that we are constantly seeing san francisco leading the way. >> kids know there's a lot of environmental issues that they are facing. and that they will be impacted

by the impact of climate change. they will have the opportunity to be in charge and make change and make the decisions in the future. >> we are re-inventing the way the planet does garbage founded in the environmental ethic and hunger to send less to landfills. this is so many wonderful things happening in san francisco. i feel very fortunate and very humble to live here and to be part of this wonderful place.

[music] >> started with a community at the secret gardens is down the block. was about food, culture and it was a success and something we thought we could keep going and yeah, the space opened up and we are like, lelts let's give it a try. we have been artists all our lives and ewoo wanted to continue to do our art and make art accessible. >> we grew up here. i went to school up the street and elementary school down the street. [indiscernible] really important to us

and our upbringing, like the location malters. >> this feels like home and for us to be able to contribute to our home and add something and just kind of bring a really fun and artistic vibe to the neighborhood. it is a blessing for us. >> all that is left is creative studio gallery. we have a shop where we sell merchandise and art and now we are shifting into a creative space and studio where we have different smaller projects with artists we worked with in the past. >> we have workshops and teach monthly classes . >> combines designing and creating and sketching and refineling that and make it in a final product. that is how i got into art. >> i was really interested in the [indiscernible] just being able to capture stories was important to me and my art was make up at the time.

i was using color and make up to express my is lf and documenting it. >> we started mostly as a gallery. we throw group art shows or feature local artists and they put art on our walls and we also pop up events. trying to get a network of artists going and creatives going to get together and just kind of show out and show off and do fun projects. we get to bring people we worked with in the space and to the events and projects and continues to grow. >> our current instillation is [indiscernible] women of the resistance. we were fortunate to have alexa also known as lex-[indiscernible] so, to be able to have her work featured was an honor. really wanted to show [indiscernible] and i think she was really able to capture that.

>> we designed a lot of stuff how we are feeling and colors we are vibeing with and that is how we do our creative process. >> we feel we are a beacon in san francisco. i feel we sprelshize in screen printing so if you need something screen printed you can count on us or a art show, you can count on us as well. [music] [music] san francisco emergency home program is a safety net for sustableable commuters if you bike, walk, take public transit or shares mobility you are eligible for a free and safe roadway home the city will reimburse you up to $150 dlrs in an event of an emergency.

to learn more how to submit a reimbursement visit sferh. [off mic.] >> all right. >> good morning, everyone i'm san francisco mayor london breed and i'm here with our public safety leaders in san francisco including our police chief bill scott and district attorney and one of our most advocates from the board of supervisors for public safety new mexico and joined by lgbtq revenue officer

mark who will be giving a demo why we're here in the first place i want to express my appreciation to san francisco voters technology has been a guardroom and proposition e has given our police department the tools they need to not only stop crime as they occur but prevent that that the first place this is what people want to see and more importantly the information that we put into prop e before we put that on the ballot came from the police officers when i had an opportunity to visit the stations get an understanding what they wanted to see and how they want to do their jobs and time and time again proud to be part of san francisco police department but lots of tools the

21st century necessary to be effective no wonder as a result of primarily using technology like license plates right side and drones and other things we've seen what happened then july and june over the past month 70 percent decline it is the heart breaking has to do with with technology and san francisco fortunately is seeing a record low in terms of crime the lowest crime rates in 10 years but know that what when things happen the results matter we'll continue to do everything we can to combat issues why we're not letting the up and starting to see prepandemic applications in our staffing. and we're exciting what that means right now with our class of 40 and one with 60 that is coming the classes are starting

to fill up and anticipate. and within the next 2 1/2 years our department will be filling but we are also making sure in light of challenges that exist we are still doing our jobs and getting the kinds of results making a significant difference in san francisco today is an exciting time more importantly we have our law enforcement leadership and work handing together and the a factor so many years of the disconnect on the same page pushing for the same kind of results public safety for the entire city and every resident and every corner of our city. so not just one thing or another all of that we are doing that every single day and today is an example of noting with a new tool that will

transform how we aid issues around the important thing related to the challenges of that with public safety. including some of the issues we're dealing with open survey drug dealing and sideshow you name that is any tinge will lend itself to making things better we're looking forward to learning more about that and seeing a deems and just know that is one of many tools we are using to help come battle the challenges of safety in the city we are excited and can't wait and finally before i introduce chief scott what you're seeing with a number of situations that occurred recently in san francisco gotten a lot of attention but i want to just to be clear, whether that was a shooting whether that was retail theft or other issues car break ins our officers made the arresting and in some cases

pro-active that led removing people that are removing crimes if our city off the streets time and time again, this is a clear message all over the behaving san francisco has accountability and we will not tolerate in any situations lawlessness and we'll work together to use every tool to insure way address public safety even better and with that, let me introduce our police chief bill scott. >> those tools are being a game-changer and start with the bottom line what mayor london breed said your crime reduction is phenomenal we have 33 percent below where we were last year our car break-ins have down 66

percent and burglaries and robberies and homicide rate is that one, the lowest levels that anyone what e can remedy labor of the synergy we have our da here you'll hear from her in a minute and we are working together as mayor london breed said those tools are going handing i want to talk about security cameras you know we're implemented the use of drones and power tools and implemented the use of our councilmember campbell systems and made arrests on really bad people and we wouldn't have been able to do that without the technology that is another piece of technology another tool for the officers we can use in the spirit of having our officers identify crime

whether brown that happens we can be pro-active we lose the values of the city but we want to in terms of who we focus either demonstration on don't wait open and this technology allows us to do that and the the other thing is about lgbtq technology is fwls like a siding mobile camera units and they have sound devices we can give warnings and move from one hot spot to another when we need them additional be more responsive to the community who are calling for safety across the city. again, this is this is huge for us and prop e was thank you, to the voters and the leadership 6 mayor has allowed united states to do this we wouldn't have been able to do this before and we're going to

be not thoughtful or going to be goinging the community concerns and ignore privacy concerns we're being very, very careful how we implement those processes and our local and listening to community and our public safety cameras before we introduce public safety cameras this is not to any community we have community meetings so community can get feedback we want to invite anyone has thoughts an idea we want to do this right and make this right i'm going to the bottom line our bottom line is is a safe city video where w get to. a note to people that do crime that day is over where you get to come here and live here

and regime the streets and vindicate news our community we want to keep that in mind and that is what we intend to do with the security cameras to our officers to do and get things right and i know this request he will be asked. we plan to after getting a lot of community feedback but there is open air drug dealing and concerns about traffic what is the mission district and another one in the embarcadero area around the plazas where we've been relentless in addressing open air drug use this will aid and then what we intend to do we catch people and give it to the da. who are committing crimes in

the city with that, i'd like to turning it over to our district attorney a great partner district attorney jennings. >> thank you, chief and thank you, mayor. as well as the law enforcement partners for spearheading prop e across the finish line to make sure that the voter understood why the police department and law enforcement agencies use this technology and for making sure that with that finding they voted to passed that piece of legislation and have in the tech capital of the world and have to make sure we're not behind the circle in moving technology we know that, yes, we have been combatting a police department that is short staffed what that means on the ground we have fewer people to respond we have to be able to use technology and

a substitutes but of we were putting that as a prosecutor i want to be able to support them knowing i can prove my case having technology 3 captures incidents and assaults and automobile burglaries so i can give to the jury what happens at the description and they can see we're practicing prosecuting the right person and the appropriate crime that is what technology provides my office the ability to better prosecute our cases that's why i shoond in support of this legislation what that means is that not only you. could to san francisco and conditional use permit crimes that's the first and for the most part but have to make sure that people hear a consequence on the back i understand the only way to make sure we have

cases in the district attorney's office. and so, yes, i want to highlight something the mayor said only a few years ago you may have seen the type initiative and the type of um, tool these types of tools now you see a full partnerships within city hall, between law enforcement agencies and my office to stand firm that san franciscans and everyone who comes here for whatever workforce visit deserve they deserve to park their cars and not be concerned of whether or not the windows will be broken or the car will be gone shouldn't have to be concerned about attacks and assaults and have have to give people functional safeties that's why we work hard and seen the progress that our city makes

sure those numbers we don't just highlight data people say they feel safe again that's our goal thank you for everyone standing up here i will continue it stand with them as we push forward and now i'm going to turn it over to our sheriff tom mother. thank you. happy to be here standing alongside our partners in public safety not justices to make sure that over is safe by the mayor and legislations to make sure we have the support i want to say this is going to equip us to make sure the people in the city don't fear crime. they're going to help us support our deputies and officers must needed in key areas by the police chief and a

note the sheriff's office has been using technology for years to make sure our job is enhanced by keeping places safe and in the hospitals and all the public spaces and we are very happy to see had occur in public safety to help the police departments with that to continue to occur. surveillance footage we'll acquire is helpful to be able to see what has happened but on the time it takes to get other surveillance and this will help us with the staffing levels and putting vision out there when we don't have people out there. i would like to acknowledge the support of the entire community not just business community but the community it that are helping us to embrace this

voting on the technologies to make sure the tools are utilized we're excited to partner with the police department to keep people safe and the units will help us in the capacity out there and excited we're still on the right side to mark sure that everyone in it san francisco is safe and without further ado, i'll introduce the supervisor supervisor mandelman. >> thank you. chief 19 mother and welcome to district 6 i'm expressing my gratitude to mayor london breed for proposition e and other people expressing my gratitude to san franciscans who that made the use of safshgs technology possible and with us on the playing field with an outdoor county don't have the rules that san francisco last

this enables us to make our city safer proportion e my district passed by within the largest masters over 60 percent of voters supported this is the district hyphenated mow downtown, district 6 residents know the kinds of issues this technology will help us solve. are the things human resources under my wife and i our commuters and vegetables and tourist people talk about safety in district 6 if necessarily mean their thinking you save but a recognition things are rob our county and worse of all especially, when it comes to drug market and open air drugs this is unprecedent in our

history. we need to do more with technology i'm incredibly grateful to member of the board and as the leadership behind me i've been in government for a long time i can't think of a time we had federal and state and local partners in the right direction and i've said this 2340er years good news most cities in the america we have issues we need to address we are on the come back i appreciate mayor london breed limp with the congress back and we have further progress to make and this technology will help us get through. thank you very much. and with that, like to welcome lgbtq mark to speak

(clapping.) thank you, supervisor dorsey to the lgbtq very proud and excited to partner city and county of san francisco proud to support our drug and crime reduction initiatives and help property protection and confident that live have you technology as well as county and being able to defer the detract and defend against crime in high crime areas as well in situations like open air drug markets and the car smash and grab that the mayor discussed. lgbtq offers the unique municipal letter for officers and as well as our

enterprise consumers you may have noticed the limits around the bay area shopping malls and as well as mtc on the private side users for years we have many employs we run them a fleet and take care of the abatements and upkeep in the moving of those units and extremely excited for the city and county of san francisco to reduce crime going forward with their initiatives so mayor london breed and her team will be using our flagship products as you can see that is rapidly mobile is secure unit. it runs on solar and it is cellular connected.

and using a combination of security cameras and speakers and to eliminate blind spots and protect property and defer unwanted behavior like to toourngs or to your attention to the units we do a quick deems deferring smash and grabs and bad actors walking in and out or weaving in a parking lot looking in windows and cars before they do a smash and grab it can detect unwanted behavior. >> this area is monitored with security cameras of san francisco. >> few if it didn't scare away the bad actors we give them

pause should trigger an alert. >> you're loitering the authorities have been notified. >> ideally the bad actors runs walmart away with those lights audit that are automated with a we it is 50 to 75 percent reductions in those incidents but have to keep at um, we have to keep at the 20, 30 percent of more determined people we have the facility to assess the cameras in real estate and do a remote live walk down and retrieve eves of a crime that the committed during or after that takes place and another example the mayor and at chief

and sheriff described the open air drug market people loitering in an area a i triggers the response. >> this area is monitored and the security for the citizens of san francisco. >> in a situation the crowd didn't dispersing or individual approach the technology and pick up like drug transactions are taking place do another esz levitation. >> you are trooepg practical leave the area the area is in radio surveillance and this is reported. >> i dealing about defer the dealers in they're i dealing make them leave before a crime

is captured at the minimum will capture the crime on camera and authorities now have evidencing to build a case for an arrest and/or prosecution those two scenarios to provide the technology can bring to the table. for the city of san francisco and another arrow in the quiver for law enforcement. and what at the point i'd like to a thank the mayor and the entire team excite to partner and point your contamination to the tent a deems of our video management system and see the preset of the parking lot and rob over there our architect can walk you through other things and i'll be happy to answer any questions you may have. >> thank you, mayor. and the everyone else appreciate it

(clapping.) and i lee others do technology that is reported that we mentioned before to you all the camera technology is 2340r7ks with the drones and in conformance with the less is that camera captures a license plate on a car that committed a crime the officer can put that into the system and that is

picked up on the camera not only san francisco but neither bay area but with other technology we've been able to find one or tow people just by could go that that gains that. >> the beauty of this city of edgewater the mission district within a couple of weeks have the technology now and here's i deal scenario if we resolve the issues been for decades those cameras cabaret located this is i mean to have this type of flexibility is a wonderful thing

for the city. >> we have had 3. we have 3 so, yeah the third one to be determined. >> right behind you. >> yeah. we will deploy that third one just determine when and wrm when that decision has been made. thank you. >> if i can have mark talk about in other cities we did research in other cities but director ryan is one who's the project leader and standing behind you and, of course, the system chief we have done our research and talk about what one of the things. >> and santa clara county one

of the biggest thing on the in the public segment santa clara county public utilities commission particularly for the bart 3 extension. so um, another california counties la county a big yours announcing ammunition with public utilities commission as well. transportation to a couple of example and sacramento users and across the bay a lot of units as well. >> all right. depends on how you configure it but you saw the service like a guard service or a fully loaded officer in hospitals of hundreds of thousands of dollars and, of course, a multiplier before you factor in the return reduction as well so um, i want to add

something just for clarity around technology. because this is not the end of what we will use as a city in order to address issues around public safety. we have the ability to use whatever technologies are available at our disposal as a way to help defer crime so those units are mobile but we also and give i a perspective we have the ability and we'll be installing 4 hundred license plate right side and i believe the latest count is one hundred and 80. and even at the point where we had a hand license plate right side we respectable for example, make an arrest for someone that that

committed a crime in santa fe and address issues around car break-ins and other things here's the thing we put up stationary cameras that provide surveillance in particular areas and we are working with communities to look at those as an option, too i want to just to be clear, this is a big part of all of what we are using to maximize you're use of whatever technology is available to help us combat the issues in the city and should be noted that, you know, the chief talked about car breaks yrtd 50 percent lower than last year but we started to use the drone technology we realized the forbidden what that entails a 70 percent reduction in june of car breaks in

comparison to last year and saw a 70 over 70 percent reduction in july in comparison to last year, we are seeing the change because all the technology combined is making a difference what is excited about adding another important tool to addressing it into the mission um, related to some of the challenging issues in particular prostitution and what is happening in 3 community the open air drug dealing those cameras will be front and center in the hot spots and follow people when they today to move to others location we'll have you think camera and sends throwers our home letting our family know our car was in a hot spot for prostitution we're not backing down to the use of

technology norman to address issues burn public safety and simultaneously negotiating the best contract that our police department has seen that's why people are deciding to leave other law enforcement agencies around the bay to leave san francisco and the technology as interest to wanting to serve in law enforcement in san francisco a combination of all those things we're really exciting and at this time i'll show you a demonstration what that looks s
