we basically provide cleaning, beautification, and safety for the neighborhood. the san francisco city coalition provide the cleaning services. we use san francisco clean city as our service provider because i have a strong job training and placement program. they train and place about 150 people every year. about 75% of those people that are placed actually retain their jobs for the full year longer or after. that was important to the neighborhood when the community benefit district was forming. the services provided -- every property gets hand swept daily. they get sidewalk scrubbing with a machine twice a month, and power washing once a month. clean city also provides graffiti abatement. the service hot spots in the neighborhood. they also help us with hazardous waste -- needles, human waste, and a large trash items. they do not, unlike other cds -- other cbd's, we do not operate on a dispatch system. in other places, someone would call in. we do not operate that way because it is a large district. we kind of schedule the district to make sure that the cleaning we provide is done un

i'm interested in a clean city and i'm abhorred by the garbage on the san francisco streets.i have two things i want to talk about. and the first one is these boxes you just approved without an e.r.a. president chiu: excuse me, ma'am. under the rules of our board, you're not allowed to do public comment on items we've already considered. >> this is about garbage. president chiu: you can talk about garbage. >> i'm talking about garbage that are around current public boxes. president chiu: that's fine. >> i'm just worried that it's going to increase now. and so part of what i'm concerned with is garbage collection, and that is that it's not tied to the property parcel. there's a number of houses that do not even have garbage in the three neighborhoods that i have lived in in san francisco. and when you call the city and you ask if a particular parcel has garbage pickup, they refer you to the garbage company. so it seems to me that it's time to tie garbage pickup to garbage parcel and at least make sure that every parcel and each separate parcel has garbage pickup. you can't go

i appreciate local programs like the north of market community benefits center, safe havens, clean city, and the good neighbor coalition project they work on. chairperson campos: great. thank you very much. >> my name is steve wu. my group wants to express our of our support for the strong leadership provided by their director. we have worked closely with the cbd for many years and have good things to say about them and their great work. thank you. chairperson campos: thank you. >> good afternoon. my name is james tracy. the first thing -- full disclosure. our organization receives a small grant from the community benefit district. but our praise would be the same even if we did not receive a penny. the community benefits district -- north of market/tenderloin really distinguishes itself by trying to improve the community for the poorest person in the neighborhood, whether they are living in a cardboard box or a condo. programs have to benefit each and every person in that neighborhood. that distinguishes them from some of the other groups that do not have such an inclusive, wonderful s

[applause] >> let me join the mayor and our director in welcoming you all. thank you for contributing to such a beautiful asset to our neighborhood. san francisco has many hills and streets and lots of open spaces that have not been developed. people all over on the city had come together to help the city become stewards of the beautiful lands. here is another example of the community coming together, businesses, everyone contributing their share in making san francisco the great city that it is. i like to thank brought madmoor landscapes apply the gave discounts and free materials to make this project happen. janet moyer landscaping assisted with the design. there was effort in trying to figure out the slopes the walls. they helped quite a bit. jordan kirkland, veronica brady , and the friends of bernal gardens who brought this burden to fruition. the department of public works is out there to hold hands and work with everyone. it is through their leadership that
