why did you choose to stay in the city >> i love the city. i'm very passionate about the city. n to focus on children and the families. i keep on asking the same question when i was younger why would i want to focus my efforts in san francisco. are there other places in the world where i could make a difference. i'm talking about the late 50s and 60s. there was at that time, a lot of population coming in from china. it was an opportunity for me to help people that were struggling in awe second amendment and getting used to things over here. >> what motivated you to get involved in politics. >> part of my motivation i guess you have to look at where i started. i as i mentioned he earlier i wanted to help people and at the time it was children and family. after many, many years of serving people i realized in providing services that somehow, i have to impact the decision-makers so i started advocating on issues i cared about. i was somewhat effective and wouldn't it be nice if i could do something different i ran an organization for 20 years. i felt i needed to grow as much as the

>> item number 3, hearing for the city's external auditors to present the comprehensive audit financial report, single audit, and management letters related to city audits for the fiscal year ending june 30, 2012, and audit plans for fiscal year 2012-2013. >> all right, thank you. i think we have a presentation from ms. [speaker not understood] who is with the controller's office here to present on this item. thank you for being with us. >> yes, thank you for having me and the external auditors. good morning, supervisors. i'm here to introduce the city's two external audit firms, kpmg and [speaker not understood]. they have a short presentation for their audit plans as well audit and results of their last audit. there are only a total of five findings. we're going to have kpmg present first and [speaker not understood] will be the presenter. and those are the last two items in your packet if you want to follow along. >> all right. [speaker not understood]. >> all right, thank you. so, [speaker not understood]. >> good morning, everyone. my name is [speaker not understood] with kpmg, i'm

the controller, the assessor, the treasurer, and the city attorney. or any of their designees or representatives. currently the two members of the board that sit on the state legislation committee are president david chiu as well as supervisor mark farrell. the state legislation committee meets at a regularly scheduled meeting monthly on the second wednesday of each month at 11:00 a.m. in city hall. our next meeting is august 14th at 11:00 a.m. in city hall room 201. this meeting is open to the public, publicly noticed with an agenda and noticed 72 hours before each meeting. state legislation committees, state legislation committee meetings, those overarching state legislative agendas as well as specific legislative proposals are considered. and i'll go into what both of those are. generally in the earlier months of the year, january and february before the state legislation really kicks into gear, departments like the department of the environment will bring forward an overarching policy agenda for the committee to consider and hopefully endorse. so,

for the city's c-a-f-r, we issue an unqualified opinion which is the highest level issuance that the city may have. i do want to point out that in our audit opinion for 2012, we had two additional paragraphs to emphasize certain matters. the first one related to the solution of the redevelopment agencies as effective february 1st 2012. and the city had selected to become the successor agency for the development agency which is responsible for overseeing [speaker not understood] ~ of the activities. the second item of emphasis related to the [speaker not understood] that related also to the deliberation process, the state controller's office as well as the department of finance are responsible for reviewing the dissolution process and the distribution of any remaining assets to the city's [speaker not understood]. and because the process is still ongoing at the time of the issuance of the city's c-a-f-r, we wanted to point out that the results were unknown at the time. the second report that i want to go over is the report to the gao. this report included all the required communication

directly impact residents of the city? i think we have to do a better job in making those connections. >> let's talk a little about the issue of sports, the role of sports in the city's economic future. are you supportive of the plans for the new warriors stadium? >> i'm supportive of a plan that includes the residents of this city. specifically, with the warrior stadium, i think it could be a great opportunity for san francisco. but i want to make sure that in the agreement that there are some requirements that make sure that people are not just employed for construction opportunities. opportunities, they're employed for concession opportunities, they're employed with the warriors i mean, there's a whole 'nother franchise of opportunities that particular team. and who are they going after, or what are -- who are the people that are going to be long-term working with the establishment? and, so, i'm more interested in what the long-term relationship is between the warriors and the community, and not just we're going to build

travels to the motor city for a look at the decline. it's thursday august first eight pm in washington d.c. and meghan lopez and you are watching r t well our top story tonight is edward snowden he has left a share meant to have all airport in moscow after russian authorities granted him temporary asylum in the country the attorney for the former n.s.a. contractor says the documents allowing him into russia were issued today snowden is now allowed to live work and travel in the country for up to a year this temporary asylum is also renewable almost as soon as those papers were issued edward snowden packed his bags and left the airport bound for an undisclosed location know where he goes from here and what he does from here on out is still very much a mystery for the latest from moscow earlier i spoke to our to correspondent lizzie france and i asked her if she has any idea where edward snowden is. well that is the million dollar question in moscow right now there's been no official indication of where he may have been headed when he lef

the city of santa cruz, for instance, it's a smaller city. they're a leader in open data. they've been doing this for a long time. the working with the city of make on, georgia, they're doing it as well. * macon. the smaller cities are taking advantage of easily reusable solution thextion, right, so open source technologies that make it easy for them to make a data catalog, and they're bag borrowing and stealing whatever they can from the bigger cities. whenever we get the chief data job description up, we should put that online and the city can take that. you can see cities sharing resources so that way even if they don't have the resources themselves, they can work together and pool those resources. >> maybe just to add one more thing to that, when we passed our legislation in 2009, we actually documented and shared our best practices for how we laid forth this program for other cities to use as well. >> great. so, i think we've actually already gone significantly over what i was hoping. i was hoping to [speaker not understood] also. we're going to wrap it up. thanks to a

how it affected the planning and the land use of the development of the city in its early days, and how in the last 40 years or so we see the swing in the changing of the face of the city, the changes in technology that have affected maritime industry and the traditional uses that created the port that gave rise to planning and new development and policy objectives that were born of the city to start looking at the waterfront differently as a place for people, so the staff report -- i'm not going to go into great detail. i think you can read it, but it's basically how the city up land has changed and how its relationship with the waterfront has changed and with the take down of the embarcadero freeway and the creation of the whole embarcadero transportation projects and the promenade and the light rail system we had a new palet on our hands that gave rise to the development water use plan and the commissioner was here to watch and witness in its early days and the community based work that went into creating the waterfront land use plan. it is the master plan for the port of san fran

this is what innovation does in the city. it gets everybody to actually work at even higher levels in government in a public-private partnership with companies like google and all the rest of the wonderful members of sf city to do what we can do and to do more than we think we can. in order to bring benefits, bring equity, bridge not only the digital divide, but perhaps bring the whole innovative spirit to every community in san francisco. this is what i think this wi-fi effort of our 31 parks is saying. and the nice thing about it is that when you study what we're going to do here and accomplish with the 31 parks, and that we along with our technology partners, our communications partners, our department leaders, new ones as well as old ones, are saying this is just the beginning. this is literally the beginning of a continued effort to innovate, innovate, and innovate. and i like what mark said. not only are there no strings attached. really the benefits are targeted at our residents and our visitors, but that the only thing

they continue to be labeled the fiscal geniuses of the city. they works, of course, very closely with our controller and ben rosenfield, your staff have been extremely supportive and helpful. thank you very much. (applause) >> then, of course, our supervisors, the entire board and their budget analyst. harvey, thank you again for working with us. (applause) >> and the entire board. i want to thank each and every one of you because you along with, of course, all of our great department heads, but in particular we continue to promise that when we bring this budget forward each year, we have that conversation. sometimes difficult, sometimes emotional, but always in support of our neighborhoods. and, so, when we come to each of the districts, each of you have been wonderful hosts. you have taken up a great responsibility to help all of us describe this budget because sometimes it's very hard to understand when people are just simply saying, i need to live in this city, i need to survive, i need to get a job, i need to have a safe neighborhood, i nee

as we built the safe city college coalition and campaign over the past year, i think the slogan that i'm city college resonates with me. every one of us has -- if not we ourselves, have been students, we have family members and others that depend on this critical institution. so, i'm really please that had we'll have many people testifying on this today. (applause) >> thank you. thank you, colleagues. i appreciate your comments and support. first speaker up will be gohar [speaker not understood] with the accreditation liaison officer at city college to provide an update. thank you. >> hello, i'm gohar [speaker not understood], the accreditation liaison officer at city college of san francisco. my job is to work on behalf of the chancellor to work with the accrediting commission, to meet the accreditation standards, to help conduct the internal self-evaluation, and again, to make sure we meet the standards. before i start, i want to make sure that it's clear we are open. we are accredited and we're enrolling students. in case anybody is reading the headline there, we have not lost accr

same area for the city of detroit is you see there the population has been leaving. it's not the case anymore i was actually frankly surprised to see that myself you talk to a couple people who are there to central syria they visit. every town for five or six years now and they recently here but a year ago. i would've done that six years ago. people that are out and about. even a totally different it was six years ago a number of stories everything is changing and living in there right now but i'm thinking of moving you know downtown detroit and i got some family here you know a lot of my friends that have moved in city and i have faith in detroit because like you know how it was back in the 1940's. going to come back super encouraging words there from people that you just talked to in the screening i never thought i would see that and saying you know detroit's coming back what will it take for to try. to get back a mirror doesn't have to get worse before it is better well i mean it's already it's already hit rock bottom it's already been to worse so now it'

the san francisco botanical gardens society and the city work together. the society is the major fundraiser for the botanical garden. we provide education through the works of the dosant, the library and the book store. we run the nursery propagating plants, buying plants and this is the major benefit for the city and the park here. they buy the plants and support also the infrastructure. this is a 60 year success story. i hope that we can continue on to do this year. i hope that you can see that the benefit that the city does get from this organization here. i am here also to support the continuance of the non residents fee for the botanical garden. this is another success story despite of what some of the naysayers said four years ago. visitors expect to come to -- when you visit another city expect to pay for many of the things that you visit and i have seen people who have been through the garden and then before they leave add extra donations to the donation box here. without the fee we would lose about three to four gardeners and 1/3 of the staff and

the. motor city. we cannot and must not and we will not while it may seem like a calamity of the distant past it was only four years ago that the obama administration rode to the rescue of two detroit automakers general motors and chrysler the federal government port eighty billion dollars into the companies extending them a lifeline out of a looming bankruptcy. but it seems the city of detroit won't get the same bailout even after declaring a twenty billion dollar debt becoming the largest municipal bankruptcy in u.s. history and this time around city employees will feel it the most as they are likely to see significant cuts to their pensions and post employment health care benefits bill will of voice of concern is reverberating throughout the city hasn't quite overtaken another sentiment one that's magnified over the last few years i've been here all of my life and i've seen it in a big not like it is more good as come to speak it is buying business these games and i see a lot of construction going o

the city transit system like the city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake.he transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth, ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28, 1912, mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. arojt by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lin

you can get quinces of the western side of the city through -- glimpes of the western side of city through a thick trees. the lake is ada accessible. it has a peaceful atmosphere where you can enjoy a warm day. walk along the lake and watched many ducks, and swans, and seagulls. it is a tranquil spot to stroll, enjoy each other's company, and sail away. many couples come here to take a ride around the lake, floating under the bridges, past the pavilion and waterfall. for a quiet getaway, it makes for a memorable and magical experience. located on 19th avenue, this grove is the place to wear your hiking boots, bring your family, and bring the dog because it has so much to offer you and your loved ones. it is a truly hidden gem in the city. the part is rich with eucalyptus trees. long paths allow you to meander, perfect for dog walking in a wooded environment. >> i enjoy this base and the history behind it. the diversity that exists in such an urban city, the concrete, the streets, cars, we have this oasis of a natural environment. it reminds us of what san francisco initially was. >> this i

new york is the most densely populated city in the u.s. and over 40 million tourists visit the city every year. the 1.3 billion gallons of water required every day are delivered by a system of extraordinary scale and complex engineering. man: water is essential to the economic viability of new york city. reliable infrastructure and reliable delivery of water is a must. you have to reinvest in the infrastructure every single minute to keep it current. hurwitz: we have the stock exchange, we have the united nations -- failure can have a dramatic impact on the nation, and even internationally. so there's a really keen awareness that you always have to be fixing the system. things corrode, they rust. they get to where you turn them on and nothing happens. but it is so totally used in every nook and cranny, that making any accommodation to shut it down, to do something to it, is very difficult. narrator: two massive underground tunnels, called simply tunnel 1 and tunnel 2, provide most of the city's water supply. they run hundreds of feet below

@@to the fifth annual awards here at san francisco city hall. thank you all so much for joining us here tonight. it is an honor to be here. my name is daniel homsby and i am the program manager for the neighborhood department networks. an honor to see you here. many of the same faces for the fifth year for the men awards. let's give you an a plays for coming back. (applause) >> and celebrating one of the most important things we have in san francisco, which is our neighborhoods. without further ado, i'd like to start the program off by introducing my colleague, christina palone, the new director for the mayor's office for neighborhoods. christina palone. (applause) >> good evening, everyone. i'm happy to be a part of such a great ebit that celebrates the contributions made by residents and organizations throughout the city to make san francisco one of the greatest places to live. the mayor's office of neighborhood services also known as mons focuses on neighborhood outreach and engagement. it is an honor to be here with community leaders who are

i'm manager of the tour program as well as i am the historyian of city hall. g is multifaceted to say the very least it's a municipal building that operates the city and county of san francisco. this building was a dream that became a reality of a man by the name of james junior elected mayor of san francisco in 1912. he didn't have a city hall because it was destroyed in the earth wake of 1906. construction began in april of 1913. in december 1915, the building was complete. it opened it's doors in january 1916. >> it's a wonderful experience to come to a building built like this. the building is built as a palace. not for a king or queen. it's built for all people. this building is beautiful art. those are architecture at the time when city hall was built, san francisco had an enormous french population. therefore building a palace in the art tradition is not unusual. >> jimmie was an incredible individual he knew that san francisco had to regain it's place in the world. he decided to have the tallest dome built in the united states. it's now stands 307 feet

it is one of my favorite organizations here in the city. third year in a row i'm nominated the winner. last year was divisadero corridor. that might help us get one of these awards in the future. what do you think, daniel? [laughter] >> this year we're proud to give the award for best merchant association to lower haight merchant and neighborhood association a.k.a. lo hamna, rolls off the tongue. [laughter] >> it's truly a great organization. we in our capacity, we work a lot with different neighborhood associations, different merchant associations. and far and away the lower haight merchants association is one of the best we had the pleasure to work with. that holds for always, but this past year was a really remarkable year for the organization. they dealt with some challenges, notably the water and fire, some public safety concerns. and they also had some success he. they have art walks really successful art walks four times a year. but then there's always another street fair happening. it's really, you know, we can celebrate their achiev

i think the city becomes incredibly more strong on an everyday basis on all city, each neighborhood basis when we have our first responders here. you know, the experience that we've had in the last few weeks at the airport again remind us how valuable our first responders are. i continue thanking them for putting their lives on the line and taking all the risks necessary to keep our neighborhoods and our city safe whether it's at the airport or in the recent fire that occurred this morning or all the other emergency situations we might face. at the same time on an ongoing basis, we need more of our city employees who work for our city living right here to take advantage of. that's why i'm proud of supervisor farrell who led the effort with supervisor avalos and others to make sure that our first-time home buying programs are programs for down payment assistance are working well and working to get more of our city employees to live in our great city. i'd be the first to say we haven't done everything that we can possibly do. even though i know there's some 42,000 units under construction a

it is fun to see a lot of the city. thank you. morning. my name is larry -- and i'm chair of the san francisco graffiti advisory board and deputy director of operations, department of public works. welcome to zero graffiti international conference. (applause) this morning you will hear from several great speakers and i hope that you are all ready for a fantastic conference. there's a lot to get from today. i want to be brief and move things along. mayor ed lee could not be here this morning but he is very excited about this event and prepared a welcome via video. now the honorable mayor of the city and county of san francisco mayor ed lee. >>: hello. i'm mayor ed lee. it is my pleasure to welcome you to san francisco and the first of its kind, zero graffiti international conference. san francisco is proud to be the innovation capital of the world because we believe that finding solutions to graffiti vandalism or to solve any other challenges is driven by how successful the we embrace and encourage innovation. we continuously seek out ways t

is, there are a lot more people working downtown in the rest of the city. the same is true for the hotel jobs and not quite as dramatic. and 68 percent, verses 60. and if i may. and we get the retail data and it applies to the people who work in the offices for the companies that are offices. >> and that is a good question, and technically and always separated out and it was on the building and the retail and also downtown, you do have a higher insensety retail activity. and so the more employees per square foot makes the sense. >> and also under the fiscal revenue where you are getting the sales and property and taxes, and those are all showing the increased amount. and could we in a separate statistic show to show the difference between downtown and city wide. >> a really interesting statistic on page six and on table seven which is employment and downtown and the c3 zone which shows that under production and repair and pdr. and in 2010, and we have a number of 17,320 which has grown, and 25,000 and 54. and which is an 8 percent growth, and it is interesti

i agree there's plenty of units in the city >> right and i don't think it's the matter of making the building like it was before we'd be casting out thousands of people in san francisco which makes no sense. but i think as a city i know my colleagues have been working on this issue president chiu and my office as well are figuring out how to have some neglect so we're not setting up people to get cast out of their homes. so we're helping them to maintain their property >> this is has an an ongoing issue and it would be great to see a solution in san francisco. >> i want to add to d b i i've been in a group working on this there's a meeting in a week and a half and they will be raising an issue you can come too. what many of us agree is perhaps not the best way to handle the reality. supervisor campos >> thank you mr. president, and d b i staff and to my colleagues are that i think it make sense for us to hold-off on voting on the entire item until we have more information regarding all properties that a fall within the category. >> maybe i should ask are there other units or line item

why did you choose to live in the city? ell, first of all, my parents decided to move us to the sunset district because they really wanted my brother and i to have a really good and safe r growing up. there were a lot of children and families in the sunset district and i think they felt like it would be the best environment for us to grow up. so, we ended up staying out there and fell in love with it and have a lot of pride after especially working for the sunset district as the electricity i have aide to supervisor chiu for over five years. and working with -- very intimately with a lot of community members, the merchants, our local residents who have, you know, interest in things such as public safety or public transportation, our school communities, our parks and play grounds, just really been such a wonderful experience working with them. so, i just really enjoyed that work experience as well as my own experience growing up there. >> how has your experience as aide to supervisor chiu prepared you for the board of supervi

we've been doing sewer for the city. e looking at a brand-new rebuild of all watt systems in san francisco and we haven't had a home that's been other than mental. >> they staff over 900 people. the puc is in two office locations. >> you know, this is such a great place for a building. if the puc owned that building and we could make that the icon i can sustainable building puc represents, wouldn't be a dramatic idea? >> so, one of the major decisions we made was we wanted to make a statement with this building. we wanted this building to be a lead platinum building which is very few buildings in san francisco that achieved this mark. >> leadership and energy environmental design, it takes a look at the way we think about the places where we live and work. i like to think of it as designed for human and environmental health. lead addresses five categories that enhances environment. indoor air quality, energy, water, materials and resources, and sustainable sites are the five categories for the lead. you can go for several

and, so, it seems like the city is on the right track. i encourage you guys to continue to look at unique ways, in owe v-8 i have ways of reaching the diverse communities to make san francisco the greenest city, not just in the country, but in the world. thank you very much. >> any members of the public that want to speak, anyone else? going once. thank you very much, everyone. [gavel] >> next item. monica. >> presentation on examples of outreach messaging. speaker: donnie ol var a outreach program manager. >> if you want to set this up, this is an innovation. this is another first. >> i don't know about that, but i think all credit goes to the department and donnie oliveira who is just an absolute rock star. and as of -- and as a way to be able to enhance the fact that we were going to be on television, watching a meeting can be sometimes boring unless you're listening to that wonderful fellow that sings down at the supervisors meeting. [laughter] >> but i thought -- yeah, i don't know. i tried to get him here. you know. but i thought si

by increasing our tax pace, that will pay for the new city softs. t doesn't matter a company that has 1,000 at the end of the day, what matters is we are driving the economy, and enabling those city services to continue. >> kirk, in terms of charges bright moore is one of the hardest hit areas all around the students there are failing. and an huge rate. how do you see the city sustaining all of the good things that are now coming into it? if it isn't raising up an educated work force to take over? >> the components. to raise a family. and you can come into a place that offers a platform and the resource disease the opportunity to start a business. you can make a living or become wealthy. by engaging and offering society what you have to offer. that's a place that's doing to attract people. if we can actually offer schools that are going to educate our children, and make our children have a leg up, over the global competition, so they can be successful, take care of themselves that's important. in that place where we are living and these things are ha

and it will not have to pay the city upkeep going forward. emerald park will be a unique arrangement between the san francisco parks alliance and emerald fund. with an agreement known as the conservation easement that will ensure that forever this remains the public open space. and emerald fund by this agreement will forever give up its right to develop this land. park alliance will be a steward to make sure this remains a public open space. i moved to san francisco 16 years ago. i met my lovely wife here. we had both of our children here. and we used to live right in this building right behind us for many years. and i can tell you from firsthand experience there are very few parks around here, very few parks for children to run around in. and that's why saline and i decided to make this gift. when all these buildings we talk about are complete, there will be thousands of new families around here, thousands. and this park is needed now and will be even more needed then. one of my favorite is the word respondent. which began, the world is too m

so, if you can walk us through the renewable character in city. we had at the last discussion policy committee, we talked about recs and what that does or doesn't do to some of the other goals and the jobs piece, if you can move us forward with that. >> yes. and just quickly, there are sort of three aspects to this program design that we've been trying to balance in response to concerns about public officials. one is affordability. there were a lot of concerns about a 14.57 [speaker not understood] when i came in april. we're aware that everybody wants the greenest product with the highest quality products. and that we need to have resources for local bills, which is what you're just referring to for buying and purchasing renewable energy steps produced in the city. and for energy efficiency projects. so, going on to the next slide, a few things have changed in our favor since the board of supervisors' vote in 2012. prices for renewable products have fallen. pg&e has proposed a green tariff before the california puc which has put a little pressure

therefore, if there is further delay, i have no choice but to request the city attorney to draft the charter or explore other options to provide the method to provide this stalemate, it is too important to allow this to die in the vine, it provides leadership and this will long be remembered for the action you take today. >> do you wish to respond, deputy city attorney? to those comments? >> no, i think you just said they would request the city attorney to draft something, to that certainly would have been the supervisor's purview. >> well, he quoted on an ordinance which was in conflict of what she said earlier? >> in the charter which governs the rate setting process, it sits, one of the responsibilities of the puc is establishes rates to have financial needs of the system and we interpret that as the policy maker, the board of supervisors have provided the cleanpowersf system and it's your responsibility to set the rates for it, and if you do not set the rates, that could be an example of you not carrying out the charter mandate. >> established does not mean monday, does it. >> th

that means a smaller tax base in a city trying to provide all the same services. 40% of the city's street lights don't work for lack of repair crews. the average response time for the detroit police department to a 911 call is 58 minutes. and buses are constantly late-- if they come at all-- making it hard for residents like ivory drake to make it to work and keep his job. >> it used to be i could get on the bus and be anywhere, and have to start an hour before i could start working, but now if you don't get out early enough, or two hours bore you have to be to work, you're late. >> reporter: the city has promised that reinvestment in these key services will be the silver lining of the bankruptcy. the city's recently appointed emergency manager kevyn orr says they hope to reinvest $1.25 billion in service upgrades and infrastructure. here's orr in a conversation with "newshour's" ray suarez in july. >> what detroiters should expect is that services are going to get better. we're already focusing on lighting, blight, police services, health, safety and welfare concerns. >> reporter: but de

philadelphia, throughout the 19th century, was the major industrial city of the united states. all of these industries used water from this system. and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." 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

cop has three services in the program. if city college closes what would happen to these 1500 students? all of the members of the eops program, it's a state funded program. all the eops [speaker not understood] in the state of california have been [speaker not understood] a certain number of students it can serve. if all these students -- if city college closes, there are students [speaker not understood]. there are second chance students, ex offenders, [speaker not understood] based on their income. if all of these students lose the opportunity to attend city college of san francisco, their surrounding community colleges in the bay area will also have a limit, a cap on the number of students it can serve. mostly unlikely it will be able to attend another community college in the area. so, what would happen to san francisco with an additional 1500 students, ex offenders, low-income students, [speaker not understood] who cannot go to college, lose fund to begin with. and secondly, san francisco will have additional costs in providi

here we have data from the city. we also have data from private data sources that read -- not going to mess with it. there's one of the variables now, the bottom you see there is median household income. we're pulling in all these different data sources, creating a beautiful visualization to tell a story at the neighborv level of how the city is growing. and some of the things you're seeing on the map here are a pipeline of information about both residential permits over the past decade or so, how has the city allocated permits throughout different neighborhoods in the city. and some of the other things you're seeing on the map is the approved businesses, the businesses are currently doing business in the city. one of the things we said once we started visualizing on the map the slow and more rapid growth of residential -- residential property in soma and then in 2011 you just saw obviously a huge residential boom in the downtown area. so, we've just actually -- we're a company in southern california. we just relocate

i've been lincoln to trustees and the city college administration and faculty and staff and the coalition so save city college it serves over 80 thousand stuts students looking to improve their students. but there's critical timing right now. the biggest support we can offer is to encourage people to continue to enroll but there's much more we can do as identified at the hearing and in the community town halls. i authored this along r with supervisor cowen to allow the city to support the college through the criticize. a suggestion came up with the working administration and faculty and staff and i'm still interested in completing that work group. i took part in the coalition crisis and there's a clear consensus we work together as one in san francisco with the trustees to keep our schools open. we have to keep the energy going and show how or replaceable our colleges are. i'm going to introduce this it's a study of the negative consequences of putting 5 hundred faculty out of work to the general education provided for by the cluj. the last point is important because immigrant seeking wor

i urge you to remain the city that once was known as the sanctuary city because san francisco is vastly becoming the city without compassion. now san francisco is too good a place to allow it to become cold and callous for those in need and nothing can come out of that attitude. we are local three remain optimistic that you will do the right thing toward us and those that we serve.
