[ speaking in a foreign language ] and it is a horrible experience not to be able to give your children a roof over their heads. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> and it is really hard when you are not high income earning and you don't have a stable job. [ speaking in a foreign language ] >> and i think that it is really important that all of our children have a roof over their head as well as a good education. and for the future of this country.

and drops a few drops in and flies back and they look up and they laugh and they say, well, isn't that foolish, why are you doing this? and the humming bird says, because it is what i can do. and it would be something if we all did just what we can do and i get the sense that the city of san francisco has taken that commitment on very seriously, we are one small city, fewer than a million people, climate change is a global problem and does not have boundaries but, i had all levels of the city family government and the community and the departments, and the people are making an effort and we just wanted to bring that to your attention and hope that you consider that as future projects come your way. thank you. >> public comment? >> commissioners? >> well i just want to say that i think that it is great to hear this report and i think that the comment at the very end in terms of doing what we can is very appropriate because it is a huge problem and we can do it in bite size and it is nice to know that we are on top of what we can do and even though we are a small contributor, i guess in

kim and fewer and mcdonald and everyone who is a part of this city. and i hope that this can be a beginning of a larger conversation of how we use the property and i am in complete support of the comments made around the need of a larger vision of how we use the property and i think that we need to do that, lastly, one thing that i also came out of this, is how universal the commitment is to support workforce housing and housing for our teachers and so, let's commit today, to putting together, whatever it takes to make that happen and i don't think that we as a school district can say that the teachers need to figure out this that and the other thing, before we have this conversation, this is a conversation that we need to have together and we need to have the will to get it done and i hope that in terms of broken promises that is not broken that we are here for years from now and we talked about how this did not happen. it was not that brief, but thank you for being here and i am happy that we are doing this. >> commissioner maufas? >> thank you, i w

and the sodas and kind of the root beer and by the time that my bro tler and i reached high school our weight dropped down and we were more in sports after school and you know it really impacted my life. and so, and now i am a softball player. and i am not a big public speaker and i just wanted to come out and say that these programs are just so important for kids. and what they see every day in the classroom, you know, can also effect the parents, and that effects the kids just a whole cycle. and so, thank you so much for listening to me speak and support the soda beverage tax. >> good evening superintendent and commissions i am a member of the community and a god mother. and i get to be the last person, so i have to come up with something new and clever after hearing 14 other people speak. i will say that was the fittest line of public comment that i have ever been involved in. you have heard the science, and you have heard the discussions and you have heard the personal stories, i think what it comes down to is this is going to be a tough fight this year politically. and it is going

and that was on the computer, and i see, and i am trying to get the head on and a complaint that came into the department and rerelooked at the cost and brought it down and reeval you. and that is the number that they asked to increase the total of the job >> that number was in total and that was the number that we received for the additional amount and there were other fees that were required. and i am not sure of the fees and there were fees that were paid at the filing that was never, credited for that job there. >> and so, let me just simplify it this way if i was taking that house and i got ten other houses just like this that were being built, would the cost of those fees be the same as this one. >> that was looked at at the marshal swift, it was used on all of the homes. >> the corrected amount is the one that would be used but the original amount was lower than the original amount of the fee was too low. >> it would be interested to see if you could give me five houses, for example, the same houses that the permit was issued for the same cost of construction and i will be inte

and both the fleet replacement and component over all and rebuild the program on both the buses and roughly, and so we are committed to doing that as part of that effort and so then finally, most importantly, sfmta was recently one of a handful of major systems that were selected for a focused audit on its equity practices and where it went to and the words root went and where the riders are and how the levels of service on each one and i am pleased to say, that the federal transit administration had no findings, in fact we were 100 percent compliance in terms of our existing programming and what, what that means for us going forward is the intent to built off of that commitment and there is a program and our rider ship and our service levels stand the test of equity across the system. so, with that, the other part of this, is part of the review and we are talking today about what i have described as seed money or money to start the process rolling, so that when we complete the community process, and the community review process, we are ready to advance these initiatives certainly i

for the years and taken a lot of back and forth and a lot of time and so really, thank you. and actually we are called tonight, and i will have that and my very first experience with political, and organizing against having a police officer on our campus. and i know that we moved beyond that now and we realized now that there is an important role for the police officers in the campuses but only on the narrow situation and that clarity around the roles and responsibilities that we have and that they have, is so much and important in light of that. i know as many folks spoke to tonight and the students experience the policing on their campus in a very poignant wait and the degree to which the police officers on the campus and the troel that they have there is important not just for safety but how a student understanding, what the institution of school is there for. and the feeling that they have that they are an environment that first and foremost about their education and i really think that this document reflects that. i have one question about something that is in this docu

grasiovis and elizabeth lee, and chris, arm atrout and myself and jay shol from cvre have been working very closely are the mayor's office of housing and in particular, olsen lee and his staff on a complicated multiparcel transaction. that parcel, that transaction and consequences and possibilities around it, have generated several building and grounds meetings, and numerous, discussions among board members and staff. and at this point, negotiations which have been spearheaded and led by deputy superintendent lee over the past three or four months, i think have culminated in a very successful result that you have before you tonight which i think offer very positive things for this city and in terms of the development of affordable housing, on a long abandoned and sorry property in 1950 mission. and offer some very, very positive steps for us, and to be able to amalgamate a larger parcel on this block, which has very large development, future possibilities, and contend with another parcel, at 1101 connecticut and so in general, it responds to a lot of the wishes of the school board that

and he said oh, really. and so then dulles and vitamin for a whiskey and he's not interested. and he starts talking about baseball and other things. and i found it very puzzling. until was only a few days later after the bay of pigs fiasco that allen dulles was found wandering aimlessly in georgetown are not able to find his way home. and i found a quote from one of his young relatives who said i think he was suffering from what we would today call alzheimer's. and i really believe the reason that he had done this completely was that he was already suffering from the beginnings of dementia. and that is why the two planners went to the deputy and said it's going to be a terrible disaster. this will persuade them to stay on and sure enough, it was a terrible disaster. john foster dulles died in office and he had resigned a couple of weeks before and when he died entire nation pledged into grief and it was a huge event and he was a snarling tough i don't really like. but when he died, he didn't really trigger an outbreak of admiration. and he lived to see his reputation be declin

and the seasons to perform and the workshops and with the various department of city and contract for san francisco about this initiative. >> i think that my digest concern about, you know, what we are doing now, is that there is not a clear plan to protect the escalators and i think that if there is such a huge investment that is being requested for these escalators and not just the maintenance plan but i know that supervisor campos wanted to know about a specific main nens, and a long term maintenance plan with the escalators but what is most important to me, is a plan to protect them, especially if we are investing millions of dollars in replacing them. and i understand that this does not happen every night. but, i don't want to wait two or three years for a test. i want there to be in sort of reconsilation sooner than rather than later and there are places that are examples of places where outdoor escalators have been covered and so i am sure that a test is not completely, and we did not do a test for the new shelters that were installed all over the city and in places that they p

five years and started in fiscal year2014 and 15 and programmed what they identified for bicycle and that includes the revenue bonds issued this year and sold now to come up with a revenue sub total of 28.$9 million or $29 million for the five year period. and that is measured against the $191 million cost of the strategic plan scenario. we backed out $20 million because of that amount is already been programmed or spent on the 2009 bicycle plan which predated strategic plan scenario, so that leaves us when all this is said and done with one seventy one million dollars in costs and then we back out the known revenues so we have a short fall of $142 million so it implements a strategic plan scenario in the five year window $142 million would be needed, so on the next slide we have some possible sources to eliminate the bicycle strategy funding sort fall. i want to comment on the recently released mayor's transportation task force which looks at transportation funding for coming decades and identifies a number of sources. all of these sources are also in that plan and in the series of

put on earth for the reason, for remission and that was to save britain and the feet, and as some and call freedom and liberty across the world and she accomplished that. i would like to conclude just by addressing the question what can american conservatives learn from margaret thatcher and what must they learn from this lady? i think most importantly, she rejected the idea that you have to water down your political message and conservative principles. she won three general elections in a tremendously hostile environment with the media that was relentlessly hostile towards her. and she won not by accommodation or compromise, but by sticking to the core conservative principles. moving to the center ground doesn't necessarily bring you success. i think as david cameron found in great britain at the last general election he didn't win the outright majority, and i didn't think he won because he was trying to move us into ground. margaret thatcher always argue that if the voters want to vote for the left wing or liberal parties they're going to vote for the real thing and not the conserva

and drove by and shot my son and i've been fighting for six years fighting this and this happened in district 6 in the northern pan handle. i got this from homicide details and these are names that i'm not pulling out of a hat. they were all in the car and all these guys was involved in shooting my son. and to this day i still have no justice. i want my son's case to be taken important just like the lady's case. she want to open up about her being hit by a car. i want my son's case with the same importance. i've been doing this for the last six years. i've gone to the police commission and i've come here on several occasions. so i want the same justice for my son. hear are all the names, this guy thomas is a man corporate and paris moffit and all the rest of them. they drive-by in cars some shoot people and these guys are still walking the streets to kill again, to kill again. to kill one of your children. and you will be doing what i'm doing everyday. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> thank you campos and members of the board, members of the police commission. ed and our chie

during the nine months and i sent you the lengthy email and i apologize for that and the companies and the term they came up with are private vehicles -- they're really de facto taxis but they will take years to litigate that issue that these are valid and allowed but in any event we know these people don't have workers' comp. we think they don't have liability insurance. they don't train the drivers. the vehicles weren't inspected. one of the colleagues had a side car and based the vehicle on a photograph, no one lookinga the tires or under the hood. these vehicles don't meet cleanirra standards like ceqa. they don't have ada compliance, et cetera and as was pointed out uber is distancing themselves and the vague language that puc made and the driver is providing service at the time of the accident so that leaves the public without any protection. i do want to say that the economy of the taxi industry is completely being eviscerated and if the city had a corner store every three blocks and the proprietor makes a living and the neighborhood gets served but this will cannibalize itself

and also me and yen. and last but sometimes a kiev reviews see a single day can switch them out or put another one realli cant use of the medici me live to moscow merely confined to pull it off well almost every icon shield the world. and finally if you're speaking to people back home in russia and some of them is thinking of coming to town one to visit. or maybe to work on coast mp will be some of the recommendations were fights that you would hope that. we did not then invites not a condition which just an explanation is that it's safe to use for emily. ian and i but today it is only one thing that you cannot imagine how i feel on the god man who has the guts to climb it. i did it for russians it's a little bit. i'm a little copy to my views which we are not used to because russia is not surrounded by what is it so we end up in ireland though had that sinking the only thing that. the only thing that really mean it in ages it is just what the other thing that went just to mention that only couple the day

sanctuaries, and places where terrorist and fellow travellers can find safe harbor and sanctuary and bigger and training facilities and so forth than we faced in the past. and the u.s. withdrawal from that part of the world is significantly diminished our capacity and whether we are dealing with the situation in syria or iran. they don't pay attention anymore. >> and you have a policy difference. and you wouldn't withdraw. you would stay. by staying we are paying so much money and the suffering on the military is so high and we are all americans and in this together. it looks like the taliban will reconstitute and cause so much trouble in afghanistan it will be a chaotic mess. >> last time the taliban took control in afghanistan, they had bases that trained 20,000 terrorist. and in addition to 19 hijackers and killed 3,000 americans. >> rrnt they doing it again? >> i am asking you if we are withdrawing and they will do it again. >> real danger. >> what do we get out of it. >> you withdraw and let it happen again. we don't have the choice if we did since 9/11 of calling behind what go

6th and 9th. look forward to seeing a lot of blue and tan out there. chief. >> chief. >> my mistake. there is one more presentation. i'm going to struggle with this. >> can we keep it brief. >> teresa who is the chief of the advisory board. >> good evening. again, thank you all for this incredible effort and necessary and needed change for san francisco drawing all of our attention to public safety ety and all of our citizens safety. my name is is tracy and i'm a mother and small business owner in the san francisco district in a police distract. i'm in the city of heights and last year i became cochair of an advisory board and at the time my cochair now commander, sharon. so when we started our meeting last january, we wanted to start the meeting by addressing public safety and mention this idea of a well known program in northern california called street smarts. so we began to investigate street smarts and look at -- would it be feasible to bring street smarts to san francisco. i'm happy to share

the mayor came together with the tech community, apple and others, facebook and others, and they saidok, we agree. we have to address these shuttle buses. >> do you think it is good that they have to pay? >> it is good, because it was important for them to say that they play by the same rules as everyone else, and they were taking traditional muni public bus space, and these shuttles are there. if you and i were there, we would get a $270 fine. it is not usurious -- folks are not in their cars. they are not driving down there and are not contributing to global warming and the like, so it is a win on both sides. >> i want to bring cory johnson him, because he was here during the last bubble. is it ok that it happened then and it is happening now, and are they doing enough? >> i was there during the gold rush also. i am really old. there are a lot of interesting city planning issues. what happened in 1997, 1998, 19 99, these were urban companies, dot com companies, and they were not profitable businesses, and now we are talking about yahoo! and google and big profitable businesses that
