it is time i think for our city to think more creatively about what city hall can do to support city college . in this time of need we held a hearing of the budget committee last week where we started to think about in-kind support, whether the electricity or water bills, but also in-kind support for elections of the trustees of the college board system. also other ideas for how we can be more supportive. my hope is, after this resolution, i hope that is passed . overwhelmingly here at the board and we can put our heads together i know the mayor and the controller and others also sat down with the former chancellor and others last year at this time to come forward to provide some economic and management support as well. but my hope is that we continue to move after we have acted on this resolution. first that the resolution calls the college to use as much funds to the ballot opposition prop a, to use resources for classroom use and acknowledges is amended that achieving accreditation , is so critical for the institution and a healthy, adequate reserve is also critical. in short the

us some analytics on how people move around cities and how vehicles drive around cities. so, currently we have 16 neighborhoods -- 18 neighborhoods covered in san francisco, and we get real-time data back that shows exactly how many people go by some of the busiest areas in san francisco. so, you can see here san francisco, on average total, i think we had 150 people cross our sensors on average for every sensor. in case you want to go into time density. so, we end up getting these really, really great visualizations of the busiest times and the least busiest times of people moving around san francisco. you want to go down into union square? you can see the data changes dramatically when we change the neighborhood. and just illustrates how different every neighborhood in san francisco really is. we're announcing today that we're providing some of this data to the city as a kind of public service to help the citizens here figure out how many people walk around their neighborhood. but mostly it's to help public service, like the fire department, the police department, the m

we now have over 40 cities that have joined us. in 2011 we partnered with gray area foundation on a series of hack-a-thons, 10,000 attendees, and created nearly 30 applications all being powered by open data. now in 2012 we have our legislation that you heard about. as you heard, we announced the chief data officer. we have a network of open data coordinators within each agency. and these coordinators, their primary responsibility is to provide insight, is to provide transparency into the data sets that they manage. and that's really important. we want to make sure that you guys have a clear understanding in our community about the data that we manage so you can tell us where we should be going next in terms of opening up our data sets. we also are doing some structural changes so that open data is really the default position for our city. we're making sure that data belongs to our city, not the vendor. and second, we're making sure that any software that we buy or build hatx a public api or some equivalent. we don't want to be hel

and welcome to san francisco city hall. on this momentus occasion, we are going to have and celebrate the unveiling of the adolf trotro bust. and so we will begin with the present mayor of san francisco, mayor ed lee, talking about one of the former mayors of san francisco adolf trotro. >> all right. thank you, ellen. >> you are very welcome. president lee. >> good morning, everyone and welcome to city hall. and thanks for as a various departments that are here, i understand that we have three representatives from our counsel general offices, certainly our counsel general from germany, from israel and russia. thank you very much for being here. former supervisor clint is here, i can see him in the crowd thank you for being here as well. our chiefs from the fire and police department are here. members of our commissions are here as well and thank you very much. my good buddy, leonid, mucupkin has been an advisor to me for many, many years previous to my being mayor of san francisco. and he is always been giving me great advi

this is the story of our city.ur port has really defined our past as i think that we all know, the first 49ers came right here to this spot to build this city, during world war ii, our military ships were recommissioned, right here from our port. we know that our friends from labor as the mayor said, built our city, starting here with this water fort and this is the story of our city and we also know that the water front in the port defines who we are and it is amazing in 2013, if you just walk along the water front in my district, you will start at the fisherman's wharf street scape improvements and to the cruise ship terminal that we just cut the ribbon for and you walk down to the terminals and the ports where america's cup will entertain a million, international visitors within a few months. walk down a couple more blocks to piers 15, 17, where we are going to see a half a million kids come to go all the way down to what we know that will be the next site of the warrior's arena and down to the ballpark and the

one of my favorite places in the city. there is truly a bee hive of activity of the newest innovations that san francisco will be famous for. i also love the fact that just a couple of blocks from here is where our san francisco giants are moving on to the world series. but just in this room, all of you are giants and making sure that san francisco is the world champion when it comes to innovation. >>> 13 years ago, i like all of you started a company. i started in i-ti a technology company in the 1.0 world. it was a company that created technology to connect citizens better with government * . i ran it for almost nine years. and when i was elected to office four years ago, i was unfortunately more surprised than i wanted to be about how far behind san francisco government was. this was very 2008, 2009. with you i'm really proud of the leaps and bounds we have taken as a city * . i was proud in 2010 to help move forward legislation to really bring together city departments to work in a coordinated way with our committee on

i want the residents and visitors in this city to feel that they have a safe city to invest in and i want a city that is reflective our successes. a sound, a safe and successful city. these are the principles that i woulke the budget to reflect. and that we have very successful sectors of our economy that are helping us perform this. i want to keep investing in those things. i think the big number, the big word this year is less about deficit, although we will make those gaps reach balance, but it's also where we really invest to make this city more safe and successful while we're making it economically sound? that is what is going to guide me and i hope that the public will understand and appreciate that because in the end it's their quality of life i would like to pay attention to. >> i would like to introduce your budget spouse as you described him, supervisor mark farrell who is also the chair of the supervisor's budget committee. pervisor farrell you were really the person who is going to be spearheading this lengthy, rigorous, difficult process through the board of supervisors

they are smart enough to do that, but they want to get going at city college. >> do you see the city in this budget cycle actually carving out a dollar amount? >> here is what we're doing, because i don't think it is always to be measured by the amount of money you give for bailouts. i have been paying personal attention to their accreditation program. i have had interim chancellor scott in my office and i had the state chancellor, who is in charge of accreditation in my office, on the phone, on a monthly basis. i have worked directly with our controller, and a team of people from our controller's office, to pour over the economics. because part of the challenge was that their accreditation had to do with two broad areas: their economic stability, but also the way they governed themselves over many, many years and when you read the accreditation report, it didn't happen overnight. it happened over many, many years of decisions that didn't pay attention to a number of factors. and so recovering from that takes more than just financial investment. it takes a concerted partnership, with

one thing the city of san francisco or big cities or federal, right, the other smaller cities, smaller cities have smaller budgets. having a structure to support all this open data takes a lot of money. so, when these small cities are thinking about this, they should think about a way of somehow equalizing because they are putting into having these open data team, right? so, what does make sense? this is kind of an open question to get your point of view. >> do you want to take that, shannon? >> i think that there is actually quite ah few examples. we can probably talk to this more with smaller cities that are making open data efforts. but what i would say is that it's proven more than the value of the investment. the return that we've gotten just by opening up the data has actually given back more. so, that would be my short answer to it, but i think you probably have more rience working directly with some of the cities. >> so, i grew up in a small city so i care about small cities a lot, 15,000 people, southern illinois. i'm a card nastionv fa -- cardinals fan. i should say that. the

hurwitz: currently, city tunnel 1 and city tunnel number 2 would be feeding each half of the city. so you'd lose half the city if you didn't have a replacement. narrator: without half of its water supply, the city would shut down. for nearly 40 years, new york has been in the process of constructing a solution. man: this project is water tunnel number 3. we started on this project in 1969. i'm a sandhog. i've been a sandhog for 37 years. narrator: sandhogs are the men of local 147, who work deep below the city. they began building the infrastructure of new york in 1872. from the subways to the sewers, the water tunnels to the highway tunnels, new york city thrives because of their work. ryan: you got one little hole in the ground, and nobody knows we're here. see the empire state building, right. that's 1,000 feet. so you figure, you go down 1,000. how high that is -- that's how far we go down. narrator: stretching more than 60 miles under the city, tunnel 3 is taking generations of workers to complete. ryan: i don't even want to imagine what my father had to go through. when we fi

of this great city. the mayor said he wants to support ourcy city and respect them and pay a great deal of attention. and the mayor has come through of what he's done. may i present mayor ed lee >> i know charlotte is incredibly overjoyed with this wherever we have to greet and visit our cities and others mayors we immediately within minutes can appreciate the change and there's so much going on with this city. the commissioner looked at two relaxed during the invest. and barring also known as comments us. i want to thank you for your visit here. although he's been here before this is his first official visit. his commencemee emt our staff c together and challenge great information about technology. health care, transportation are changing industrial areas like we've done in mission bay. literally we're looking at how we have progressed and at the same time paying great respect to our roles as environmental leaders in the world. i know san francisco and barring also known as are joining many other intern

we are the best city to do procurement with women. we can do better and that's what we're here to talk about. as you maybe aware we have a city ordinance called the local business enterprise ordinance. we developed this program as a result to our challenged program, the 209 challenge to the minority womens' business program known as chapter 12a. we were not able to continue with the race base and gender base program. however, we are still able to provide for local business and the local business card techs would be minority owned business, women owned business and other business enterprises so those are the three categories by which we are working with and able to assist. now 209 while it became law as part of the constitution here in california, it didn't restrict us from doing technical assistance and outreach as well as tracking businesses. that's -- those two things are very important to women owned business, tracking them and making sure that they have the support and assistance that our city is providing, and getting them to the

you pay taxes and this is how the city receives funds, the funds the city uses to operate. about 33 percent are from for property taxes. 13 percent for business-related taxes. importantly about 20 percent, one out of every five dollars that we get, comes from the state or federal government. what that means is that when the state or federal government makes a change or makes us a policy choice or a funding decision they have a direct effect here in san francisco. this is really trying to show you - we've done a lot of work over the last few years trying to do a better job planning. in predicting how much money we think we are likely to take in and how much money it will cost to operate city government. what this slide is showing, in the black bar, the darker one, it shows you how much revenue we projected taken over the next five years and essentially it is showing the revenues growing we are predicting by 13 percent over the next five years at healthy revenue growth, we are seeing the economic recovery play out here. we are projecting 25 percent growth to keep pace with in

of the welcoming of the city.o we're going to get going. i want to thank the department heads but we want to give the bulk of this time to all of you. and want to thank the office of the - the ambassador and they're here tonight to help people whose language is not the first language by to make sure you tell us what's the most and highest propriety. this is important to us. last year and the years in the past we've listened carefully and we've had a more sensitive budget and that's our part. is a let me turn this over to supervisor representative districts 5 (clapping) >> hi i'll be brief like the mayor i can about how we allocate our resources. members of the board we look at what's most important to allocate our revenues the type of programs and i want to highlight a few things i'm going to be paying attention to. the department of health and family has said that the population in district 5 of children has decreased and therefore the amount of funding for districts 5 is decreasing. i have some real concerns abo

the project is part of a public-private partnership between the city and city fields foundation which has worked tremendously with us. it has and a successful partnership in our city for our kids and enabled us to add 2400 new san francisco kids playing ball and 200 new youth sports team as a result of this work that we have done together. the theme is soccer today. so earlier this week, the city devin dufty is work with the hope opportunity engagement announced that we are very privileged to be hosting street soccer usa, the west coast cup, which is a tournament to raise awareness for homelessness and to bridge the good between our various communities. the tournament takes place in june and includes both corporate teams and homeless teams from cities across the nation, playing and competing with each other. this story got some coverage, and i think some people were saying huh? homelessness, soccer and i wanted to bring up the founder of street soccer usa to tell us a little bit more about the tournament and show us a short video. rob, come on up. >> thank you for your time. >> come u

that is special about who we are and we are in a city that welcomes that and in a city with the mayor that is some of our own and we cannot be more proud their mayor lee is here today to have us kick off a whole month of celebration, mayor lee? >> thank you, claudene, thank you for your annual work. you and the committee, i know that you get together with everybody months in advance to pull this off and there is an exciting number of events that we have, but let me say, first of all, thank you, to assess recorder carmen for joining us today and our newest supervisor tang for joining us today they are going to be great partners in helping me run this city. also, again, to the committee that there is going to be so many events happening this month, the month of may, for all of you is a very, very busy month. many, many different events. i often go back to that nice musical that i watched many years when i was young camelot and they always referred to the lusty month of may there is so much going on, it is spring and a lot of things and the warriors are winning and the giants are winning

you are the stewards of the city. the city deserves no less. thank you for your attention. >> president chiu: thanks. next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors, my name is oscar james. i am a resident of -- point. i served on many committees. my concern is election of the new committee. i have problems with what i have gotten on my computer saying that the city will select 12 members to represent -- the residents of our community. i served in my committee since 1968, first and the eeoc board, joint housing. we were all elected by third of residents. i asked that this be rescinded and that the residents have preference and selecting who they want to serve on cac. i also surf the mayor's task force. we have never allowed anyone to come up in our community and dictate to us, when robert kennedy came to our community 1968 , to find out what we wanted in housing he asked the young people in the community , what do we want. we demand a voice in the community; . would not allow city hall or anyone else and dictate to our residents thank you very muc

>> i love cities. never felt like i lived in a city in los angeles, but when i lived in massachusetts, where i live, i was close to boston. i had such a great time in boston but i did not like massachusetts so much because it was cold, the culture was foreign to me. when i came to san francisco, the first time i came, there was a rainbow over the bay and there was something calling me. i was 20 at the time. i knew that this was a place i needed to live. the history here, you can see it in terms of buildings, you know the history from, labor history, hit the history, history of what happened in 1978 with milk, mosconi. but i wanted to be a part of its. >> what got you involved in politics? >> i had been involved in politics for decades. i was doing work around central america, supporting people in central america, protecting against u.s. imperialism, and their right to live. i was doing a lot of work on campus in college. head of work against apartheid. i was involved in a lot of the efforts to push bac

we started by making sure that the city employees and city vehicles have to pay the meter when parked. before this changed, the city vehicles parked for free at meters with no time limit. and we also reserve on the free reserve spaces that some city and agency enjoyed for years. and mta we are one stepfather to ask all of our employees who part in our lots to pay when they drive to work. these as you might imagine were not popular steps in the city government but they were important for the acredibility and putting their own house in order before askinging san franciscoan to manage their parking. and another core part of our strategy, with the parking management was addressing the issues that happened when people can't quickly and easily find a space. in other words, reducing the easy to find a parking space to reduce the amount of circling and double parking that we see, there are two main strategies and one is simply providing better information, and there is high, and low tech ways to do that, and you can see it on the street and trying to get the people, guide them to the availabl

i guess we are calling it developing an aging-friendly city. we are also looking at how to support senior services and unique neighborhood by neighborhood programs called aging in place or village models that allow people who are older or seniors getting older to be able to support each other and to stay in their homes and communities longer so they can be contributed to the community as long as possible as opposed to institutionalizing them, which costs quite a bit more. so i'm looking with senior group's ideas of how to create more aging in place programs neighborhood by neighborhood as well, but i think those are the key issues. i am also, kind of as the father of a 10-year-old -- i have anxiety like other parents right now as we apply for a middle schools for my daughter. as a member of the school board for eight years, i know that a strong school system and strong schools in the richmond is key. but also, i serve on the first five commission. each county has a commission that oversees money that supports children, and toddlers, and infants

and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the system is fed by gravity, without the use of energy-consuming pumps. valves open to regulate the flow into the 85-mile-long delaware aqueduct -- the longest tunnel in the world. at hillview reservoir... the water is partitioned into another giant tunnel system. where it travels deep below manhattan. the pressure built u

making us the largest employer in the city. today we have already more than 800 thousand square feet in san francisco and we expect 1.8 million square feet by 2016. that is tremendously exciting for us. we continue to grow and higher the talents that this city brings and enable and people that want to join our mission and are passionate about not what we are just doing about technology but our broader things and -- san francisco stands for power and passion and the need that makes technology go. we are powered with the community and leadership and other departments that share our vision for the future. also as the mayor mentioned we are extremely passionate about giving back to the city. right from the beginning we had a one one model from the beginning. that's the one percent equity and one percent of our product giving back to the community in the form of free donation to non-profit and we've given $40 million in grants and 445,000 volunteer hours and today as i travel around the world i meet many of our 18,000 non-profits to

this highlights the city's overall need even if preparing our cities sewer line. i was briefed to replace our city structure over a one hundred years old. with that any other items madam clerk? >> no other items. >> with that meeting is adjourned >> may 6, 2013, small business meeting, the time is 5:36 and the meeting is being called to record. item one is roll call. >> commissioner adams? here. commissioner white, when isinger dooley. >> dwight. >> o'brien. >> ortiz-cartagena. >> rilely? she had a prior commitment. i would like to ask the members of the public to silence or turn off all cell phones or portable device and we would like to take this opportunity to thank sfgov tv and the media to all media services for the continued support of our meetings. >> to move on to item number two, mr. president. >> yes. commissioners, you are now in item number two, presentation of the small business commission certificate of honor recognizing the city employee treasurer as part of the city employee recognition program, this is a discussion item. >> commissioners, director

how can city hall make life better? whether public safety, education, parks, keeping families in town, that is my priority and i will continue to make sure that is reflected in our budget. thank you for coming out today. if you have additional questions of district two or 3, shoot me an e-mail, stop by the office on wednesdays, 10 a.m., 1 p.m. we will have budget meetings for the next month and a half. . if you have additional comments let you know at this point i would like to turn over to my colleague and it great supervisor from district 3, supervisor david chiu. (applause) >> i want to thank all of you today for participating today. what i want to do so the next two minutes is summarize what i heard from my constituents and feedback that we heard in different months. you heard the district 3 has the least amount of open space in any district of the city ; making sure we get the north beach club house open , making sure we have adequate staffing at joe dimaggio -- public safety. , t you've heard from folks today arou

oh, my city sunny really want to see you city. i really want to be with you city. and i really want to make it safe for you city offer it doesn't take long oh, city in the long run. oh, hot i didn't, hot i didn't oh, my sweet city oh, make it safe today. because i really want to see you. >> thank you walter. anyone else please come forward >> supervisors daniel i came in here for the juvenile issue but since this is on the table. my heart goes out inform the folks in boston. i think we need to show constraint here. we know in america sometimes fear drives government to bring laws quickly and it really it steels the liabilities away from the people based on the treat. so i want to share with you let's not, you know, move so quickly with any ideas that's a slippery you slope that may infringe on people's rights. of course, we need plans and i'm not no strategy type of person who deals with security but i deal with common sense. after 1945 the japanese were put in concentration exams and the government can offer react. so let's use caution and reason. because if you'r

you're west of oklahoma city? >> i am west of oklahoma city. the town is el reno. but i'm still about eight miles west of there. i would say if you could find a map there, calumet is the north south part of the cell itself. you would cross, you take calumet and go due south ten miles across i-40 and that's where you would be. this storm has technically gone a little bit to the southeast. so for this to move into oklahoma city proper along i-40, it would have to go a little bit further to the north. i believe this is probably turning a little further to the south. if it continues, that could take it into south oklahoma city or maybe even populated areas around moore. but from the northwest, not from the southwest or from the west like the storm took the track it took two weeks ago. >> all right. chad, stay with us. we're also going to bring in storm chaser dave holder. he joins me on the phone. he is also in the el reno, oklahoma area. dave, what are the conditions like where you are? >> we are just watching a developing strong tornado right now. we're southwest of

as many of you said supporting our city college. a i've been at the education level as a former president and vice president, and not letting the city step on our toes but this is a gesture of support in the spirit of faculty and community saying we need to support city college and a strongly urge support for the amendments in the resolution as a whole. >> president chiu: we have not yet voted on his previous amendment. i would like to suggest madam clerk, if a motion to amend, is that we are considering and that is embodied in the document that you circulated along with the two additional amendments that he described on page 2 line 24, substituting the word growing for inflating; page 3, line 15, striking the words competing unfunded budgeting. further discussion on supervisor mar's motion to amend? supervisor breed. >> supervisor breed: my comments are not necessarily about the amendment ; is more about the resolution as a whole. >> president chiu: any further discussion on the motion to amend? supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wie

for various parts of our city. my city unfortunately chose not to enact that. so, with the fact there are no ordinances against it, fall completely out of the purview of the police code enforcement to deal with it. and that's kind of what i was trying to get across when we were talking about permission if it doesn't violate a local ordinance or state ordinance or any other, you know, legal piece, then we don't have any purview to deal with it. so, yeah, that is certainly a great tool to have. every time i bring it up to my city, by the time we get the city attorney involved, arts board involved, everybody else involved, they decide it's too much work to do that and we'll just see what happens. >> one more. let's hear from the san francisco arts commission. >> her statement frightens me. i'm an arts person. this is san francisco, we're in a unique situation in that we really do -- our whole city lich on creativity. and we like to encourage it and also manage it at the same time. the street smarts program that i mana

we have six centers in the city. three are them are in richmond and sunset area and we serve in total close to 300 children [speaker not understood] in the city. in richmond and sunset we have close to 120 kids. so, we have been serving the community to serve these families. we have head start program, by the way. when we have nationwide connection they work the head start program. i want to share one thing. we feel very, very gratitude to be in san francisco. because every time when we connect with those people nationwide, statewide, we couldn't believe how much resource we have in san francisco, how much we invest in early childhood education. so, that's a gratitude i really want to share with you, with all -- with the mayor, with supervisors, and all the departments. thank you for the support to our children and families in this community. [speaker not understood], i would like to share some comments, how do we do better here. i would like to see the community that we can continue invest in early childhood educati

capital city clean up brings cities together to create safe, clean inviting xhueplts and neighborhoods. our motto is a clean and safe edmonton is a shared responsibility and we work on the premise that we can't do it alone, that we need to work as partners with the community to create solutions to graffiti vandalism and litter enforcement. just a technical point, if any of you want to ask questions, they are recording the session so they would like you to speak into the microphone and if you have any questions along the way, please feel free to ask. when did capital city clean up start? it was launched in 2005 as a pilot program focused on litter reduction in the downtown of edmonton. basically businesses were asked to adopt a block in their area and were responsible for litter clean up in that area and the program had such a huge success that they expanded the program in 2006 to include a residential component for litter pick-up. we now have over a thousand adopt a block captains that are responsible for adopting blocks around the city of edmonton for picking up litter and they each h

we are using that as the city wide effort to keep our city beautiful. sparkling and clean and educating youth and provide the scholarships and support for them and using culture -- about the cleanliness of our neighborhoods and respecting our neighborhoods all throughout our city. we are also engaging the bright technological mindsen joining us in s f city and join the chambers in creating jobs and training for those last year, last summer, over 5,005,000 and eight jobs were created for summer for our youth, paying jobs every single one of them and this year we expect to exceed it with your help and the help of other companies here and we need to create hope in every aspect for our youth as mayor khan said they are going to inherit the city and the successes that we are pawk talking about today, they are going to also inherit failure and is we want to have less failures with their invest and investment in them and in companies like sales force zooma and at which timer are all leading the evident with the 1800 other technology companies to help us create

on behalf of the fire department we are proud of the city and the city's resilience and today is a perfect opportunity to remind everybody the importance and particularly the mayor who truly gets it, the importance of preparedness and helping each other out and knowing everyone's emergency plan and having plans for your family if you are not together and for your pets and we are also grateful to have three of the members of the board of supervisors. i think that maybe a record. thank you. they work hard. president chiu, supervisor wiener and our former fire commissioner london breed. a big shout out to the murphy family. [ applause ] we have the murphy family and the morris family. mike morris is going to be retiring after 37 years. he's our chief at the airport. this is what history is about and never forgetting that history and remembering that morning in 1906 to come back and restoring our beautiful city. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> thank you very much, chief. it shows we appreciate more than just irish people this morning. [ applause ] >> i appreciate everybody's patience this

because you can't do anything in the city, unless you feel safe. so, i heard that that is probably one of the highest priorities coming out of this meeting, but the other things that you said are just as important and i will want to thank the people that have supported the translation of your views, and to make sure that everyone here has a great weekend. but know that we are going to work hard to make our budget reflect all of what you need to make this city successful. thank you very much. [ applause ] >> all right. thank you everyone for coming. >> the annual celebration of hardly strictly bluegrass is always a hit now completing itself 12 year of music in the incredible golden gate park. >> this is just the best park to come to. it's safe. it's wonderful and such a fun time of the year. there is every kind of music you can imagine and can wander around and go from one stage to another and just have fun. >> 81 bands and six stages and no admission. this is hardly strictly bluegrass. >> i love music and peace. >> i think it represents what is gre
