so those are the things that don't hit the press we spent o spends a lot of time and it's a priority to the commission and especially the open space going forward. i had the honor of being the co-chair of the san francisco bond issue in 2012 and of the $35 million it's being dedicated to the port we're excited to have the funds to develop our open space so the priorities with going forward i've mentioned that are the strategic priorities the continued need to address the capital budget issue the 2 that million dollars need is to keep the waterfront maintained and donates a challenge in terms of going forward to keep the waterfront in the shape and condition everyone can enjoy for recreational and publics enjoyment and the other things we do and the strategic issue of the sea level revise it needs to be addressed by the port and lastly recently the traffic congestion issue we alone at the port can solve. now the reason i mention all the things the reasons i'm engaged because those issues are important and i hope my service on the port commission will address those issues going forward.

priority no. 6 as you are familiar with is the -- youth priority. it's something that we advocate for since 2009-2010. a multiyear effort and we've had a lot of commitment to this and it's been a tremendous struggle. the reason why we begin advocating for the youth program was the extremely sharp jack s in price. mainly the pass to $20 in may of 2010. at the same time, sf usd was making severe cuts to yellow school bus services and had no options to get to school but to use muni. a program for low income and motion derate youth. there was a pilot program for 16 months which will go until this june. but luckily this year the mta in their operating budget including for the next 2 years. of 40,000 estimated eligible youth for the program, 31,000 or 71.2 percent have already signed up which is an extremely significant percentage which shows the need for youth in san francisco. our recommendation is that this board of supervisors along with the sf mta continue to partner with sf usd with regard to the program. lastly one of the reasons why this program ha

pay for the construction of these new parks and finally this acquisition would address all of the priority needs laid out particularly the one that has really been the key stumbling block which is how do we pay for the maintenance of these parks once we acquire them. as you all know this is a parks deficient neighborhood and building out these new parks would give them a new opportunity for open space and healthy recreation that we strongly encourage and the second is the developer has made a commitment to finance the construction of these number parks and acquiring the raw land and doing so at a significant discount and finally address all of the priority needs laid out in the acquisition fund including how to find a vehicle to pay for the ongoing maintenance of these new parks again part of the agreement put into place the developer has committed to fund the maintenance of these new parks for at least the next 20 years. addresses a key need in a park deficient neighborhood and leverages private resources for construction and maintenance and addresses all of the criteria in the open space

we look forward to continuing this ongoing process of helping to form the priorities of the district. thank you >> thank you, commissioners (clapping) thanks for your hard work. commissioners, comments or questions >> i think the presentation is great there's tons for us to work with as we develop the el cap. i have a question about the comment the district seemed to relied open internal prepared documents can you say more about that. we're required to put the el cap in the template i don't think anybody likes the template we can think of better ways to do that is it that that people didn't understand >> i think some of it was drawn upon there's missing documents that are not in awe alignment so we look forward the strategies for success in our presentation we looked at the 6 strategies how lined up with the priorities and the next is the measurable outcomes it's the concern those existing documents we don't want to reinvent the wheel but the community input and the families are saying is important that that's also reflected and taking into consideration loan with the existing documen

into the lcap that will get be getting the details with the implementation plans with respect to the priorities that were funded in the lcap and also commissioner wynns mentioned that there could be a narrative that shows how what are bringing in to through the grants go to the specified groups. and also, even just a narrative so that we can all understand better, you know, and sort of terms that everyone can understand, what the priorities are and how this money is supporting those priorities. and then *, finally, commissioner fewer, and paraphrasing here but the concept that we should really learn through this process about how to make communication strategies that work and look at what the other districts are doing and because this is a time when all need to do this and reach out to family and so it is a great opportunity to see what is working other places and to bring the strategies to our district as well. and because that is really what we keep hearing and it is echoing through everything that we are talking about tonight is the communication, is so important, and it is one of the primar

areas that we have considered and so that is why the animal control officers were the priority for the decisions that were included in the budget. >> and it was rejected by the mayor's office. >> there are new animal control office of positions in the budget, there are other positions that are not in the budget. >> okay. and so it looks here, for the proposed budget, that there is a decrease from last fiscal year, but you are saying that there were additional positions added to animal welfare? >> yes, the decrease from the year to year, is likely related to capitol funding that may have happened in one year and did not happen in the second year and so it is one time funding that offsets. >> how many additional positions were added. >> i believe that it were two. >> and miss howard, can you explain to me why the mayor's office did not or decided not to provide that was requested for this department? >> supervisor? >> chair, kate howard, the mayor's budget director, and as he indicated and as i think that the city administrator indicated previously, part of the process that we go through

the project is prioritized it, it's a priority project for area and didn't compete with fund allocated by other projects. the eastern cac agreed with the improvements and the coordination can use tools and labor associated with the project and the project will be minded with the adjacent development and delivered when the development is ready for observecy. finally this is supported by the western area and adapted in 2013 it calls out the pedestrians and movements in the alleys and streets and improving public realm conditions and recognizing the social and others important issues of the lgbt community. this is identified as the priority project through the west project and staff is available for questions >> thanks. >> i see a representative from supervisor kim's office. >> hi good afternoon, commissioners i'm sunny i'm here representing jane kim take the opportunity on giving information arrest like in 2012, the transportation authority board adapted the transportation plan, which was the result of exhaust community process to identify the transit projects that will preserve the char

the lcap when we had the different stations and the parents in the district staff talking about the priority issues and there were a lot of questions generated and we picked you know, some of the sort of highlights that seemed to address some of the ideas that the people have and we have submitted those as some of the formal questions that are submitted through this process, and i don't know if georgia has anything else to add? no. >> great, any comments or questions from the board? >> on that? >> yes,? >> my question is to the superintendent, the question for the district staff, there are some very good questions if here and the ones that do have answers, like which schools are intense and strategic in the zone, and you know, our salaries are competitive and the teachers and resting and so could we do our best to really respond to these questions? i think that we owe it to the community members. no, no, not tonight, not right now. but, i think that we owe it to the community to do our best to respond to them. >> thank you vice president murase and i was just going to cue up the deputy super

the budget and the policy priorities to include the youth and the reality is that when compared to the homeless adult population you have the needs that set them apart from the homeless population and to date, the youth needs are rarely prioritized in the public policy and san francisco is first, and the ten year plan to abolish the homelessness, and the larger exiting foster care and represent 25 percent of the population, and the needs of 3 out of four homeless youth were not considered in that and so i am advocating that you do more to meet those needs to understand what is happening and market street has produced years and years worth of research and analyzing what the youth people are experiencing and what the needs are and we know what they need and it is time for the public resources to be behind this and end this crisis as we speak. if we are not going to take the abundant resources of san francisco to end the crisis and i think that the board of supervisors in the city of san francisco can play a vital role in rallying that progress and this has been 115 million on the youth i

the justice committee this year. i will be presenting about priority no. 8 which is full implementation of the mou signed between sfusd and sf p.d.. it's been a priority for three 3 years now. this term we met with chief sur and community group members and we also presented at the board of education. this past january we got this mou passed. now that we have one we would like to move our focus from getting an mou to implementation of that mou. with that, our recommendations are to identify time lines to expedite full implementation of the school sites. continued collaboration relationships with sfusd and stakeholders to include process to implementation, to commence training and collaboration with sf you'd. if there were trainings for actual documents we would like to see inclusion of language from do 71. i would like to thank the chief who is here today and everyone who worked with us on this priority and students who collaborated with us. we see this mou to improve community relationships within the city and establish relationships between the schools, departments and the community. i will be presenting no. 9. the p

i want to thank you for the great work. these priorities represent san francisco values. i want to congratulate you on absorbing that at your age and presenting as well for the city and what we can do to better serve young people. i have a couple of questions. one is there was mention of arming the jp dshs. is that still an issue? the j pd? >> yes. basically it is not in this year's budget. however chief nans has not committed himself to never bring up the idea again. we are saying we would like to continue to not have it in the budget because it's still an option. >> okay. i should speak more clearly, it was arming the unit of the probation department and would work in collaboration with the police department. that will move forward. i did a hear last year and i'm happy to hear it's not being addressed in this year's budget. thank you. and there was a comment about the sro officers in the schools that was you as well. can you describe, you mentioned graduated discipline or enforcement. what does that look like in terms of the offenses and young people would be enforced wi

the understanding that this is a natural priority is not natural to mankind. mankind is really no stranger to the animal kingdom's tendency to regard other members of the species as troubles or natural prey. only a few civilizations have understood that only one civilization really, our own the judeo-christian civilization has understood that peace is preferable to war that rest is preferable to constant movement. and that's understanding comes from an understanding that mankind is one that the differences between peoples is considerably smaller than the difference between any human being and any member of any other species. that's understanding has both christian and classical greek intellectual roots. embodying that understanding of statecraft of course was and continues to be a struggle both intellectual and moral. the clearest elaboration of the proposition that the natural end of statecraft is peace of course is a christian one. you see it in of course most clearly in jesus replied to pilot about his kingdom. his kingdom he says is not of this world. god's

nick from the youth commission. for priority no. 2 is about the youth voice policy. this priority no. 2 is heavily based on legislation and i'm sure you are very familiar with which is the brown act which is the state legislation. the brown act for decades has ensured that meetings by local agencies are open to members of the public and they have an at some point to observe the meetings and can make comments at those meetings. that applies to all board of supervisors and those in san francisco. however every meeting of the board of supervisors and commission available to the public they are barriers to youth 18 and younger namely the public hearings when youth aren't able to attend and provide their input. we have reviewed trouble youth data that don't care at all about government politics and/or only a little bit interested in government and politics. we believe the more opportunities to testify in front of elected officials in san francisco could provide more gauge engagement. the brown act has an elected body that may impose requirements upon itself under the juris

that they are looking forward to joining you on the special order this afternoon to speak about the priorities and answer more questions but i did want to write a few things and during the item that you are working on that are particularly relevant to addressing the housing needs among transitional aged youth and they are working with supervisor avalos's office to implement chapter 12 n of the city's administrative code which is the ordinance that requires, youth serving city staff as well as contractors to be trained in the lgbtq competency and in addition to that the youth commissioners will like to see the development of the trainings resourced and as well as the city departments to begin including sexual orientation and gender identity in the intake to track the out comes for lgbtq youth and the youth commissioners for the last few years have been advocating of course, for to meet the full time, unit goal for the housing plan, and that was meant to be completed by 2015 and we have the youth town hall and affordability this month and 60 people attended and we have that, and they are working

study that was adapted in march of 2013 identified a connection to the bayer station as one of the priority. we've learned throughout the community process that transportation improvements and access continue to be a priority for the members of the southeast. now we have today will help expedite the construction of an interim pedestrian connection through the development site as the overall project is constructed that can save caltrain users more than one half a mile around the area and help. and no mystery that neighbors are clamoring for the need for more transportation environmentalist with where we were we're dealing with demonstrateful in the distribute this includes a couple of things i want to highlight a few with schlage lock a grocery new public parks and open space and affordable housing, specifically addressing the restoration of the historic office building and payment of the payment impact fees and the infrastructure fees and most important a significant environmentalist in the community that historically has lacked little attention deserved from city hall. the residents have s

it's offered through san francisco general and one of the priorities that we've pulled out of this in the last two weeks per your question request -- per your request, we're going to expand it so those leaving jail and reentering the community can access these -- we can work through that -- we can work with those individuals to provide these services. what else do we have here? we're also able to add a transition ag specialist, so similar to addressing the concerns of individual family members whose loved ones are in crisis. we can provide a specialist, so transitional age list and getting the service needs that they need with someone who understands their unique challenges. the final item that we are going to work on is health information sharing and collaborations, so one of the aggravations i think you had when we were talking about this a few weeks ago, how do you know who the population is? and that's hard given our data. i got an e-mail in my inbox, our fire department and d ph was able to meet with us. i don't have the data to share, but this is an ongoing dialogue and we want

the same? it has to do with priorities. look at your budget you have the ability to look at the budget and see what was offered and put into a category last year and this year, when you see an increase, ask the question what more are we doing or is this a place we are hiding money? right now, there is an absence of trust because there is an absence of integrity of the numbers that are offered by the district, thank you. >> i would like to call up reverend shisum and ranya young. >> hello, good afternoon board, first and foremost i would definitely like to give out a shout out to miss wei, she is a student of mine in the ninth and tenth grade and i am so, so, so, so proud of you. your determination and your go and get her spirit and so congratulations on that and that is what every student wants to see, you were my student in the ninth and tenth grade i am so proud of you, you want to do that and i digress, i am here really to speak as a teacher about the negotiations. and i understand that you have a job to do. but i have a

the policy priorities. hen we will come to the question of who is going to do that. >> thank you. >> we have a couple of questions. please speak into our microphone. swedish television channel 4. to german chancellor, you have succeeded to win free elections -- three elections in a row. what is your advice and your comment on that? prepared to press junckerthe name of despite the fact that many countries are against him? mr. cameron, is there any compromise that would make you promote him as the president of the commission? the only advice i can proffer is to be yourself and that is -- he willick is an find the right answers for himself and his country for sweden. thatve all made the point the personnel issues were not the focus of art discussions -- of our discussions. we wanted to focus on what was so important. it is important for the citizens of all of our countries. i have made a few comments on the personnel issues in germany and i can repeat that here. for me, he is the candidate for the president for

at, managers that had to reduce the number of managers in the city so that we can actually put the priority for the line staff, verses the managers and does not have a dollar amount here and are we looking at the office of economic workforce development and possible reduction of the management position which will be 141,000 a year, and manager five position that will have the security and general hospital, and for move thating position to be $153,000 per year. and reducing and the vehicle reductions that could also yield the cost savings and i will leave it up to the departments of the mayor's office to work with us over the ideas of the vehicle reductions and if, we were to do, quarter one percent reductions and the salary, and the fringe benefits across the city, i know that we could yield the cost savings and i know that there are impacts of doing the things across the board cuts and that may have in many positions and the services that we and many of us in this office, jointly would agree should be available in the city. and we will get reduced but that is an option that i want to have

we had a big success in the area that relates to the overall fund we were designated as the regional priority that was a long term goal for tjpa it's the largest funding stream that exists and the way it works your regional metropolitan planning committee they designate the priorities our region a typically carried to new start priorities based on what the region as historically receives. many, many years it was bart to other agencies that was from the planned bay area those two slots opened up one went to d t x and the second bart so we're going to receive $600 million the way we assess those is to see how long we quickly we work with the city aligning up the other fund. and this m t c committed to providing $300 million for the bridge toll for the d t x that puts us at $950 million we had one hundred million that was funds we've received that's a total of over $1 billion and the way the numbers translate your heard earlier the 9 hundred and a 98 net bond precedes from the cf d we've received 82 percent that's 8 hundred and 18 million if we use $18 million that will leaf for phase two will b

is continue to do to focus on the priorities of the american people.ake sure through tax policy, economic always think of education policy, environmental policy, health care policy, that people can have more opportunities to create a better way of life for themselves. that is contrasted with republicans who seem obsessed with tea party extremist issues that are not something that almost any of us actually hear from our constituents about would we go home. ask you said you needed to manage the primary calendar for the party. when do democratic candidates need to be in an order for you to manage it effectively and have the party the most competitive it can be? have are well on track to the amount of time appropriate. we are well-prepared, we're getting in the strongest possible shape to run a robust campaign. is selection process ongoing. six incredible cities have for submitted requests for proposals . i am looking forward to going t hrough that process. it has been an exciting year and a half in 2012 election paid off our debt. we are now in the black

areas that we have identified for the district's lcap plan. and these priority areas for us were developed over a year long process. of town hall meetings, and with over 150 parents and students, and teachers, school staff and community members. talking about the issues of how we can close the achievement in the opportunity gap here in the district. and then we also, you know, as you know, convened a community conversation or a community meeting specifically about the lcap on may first. you know with the district staff and the pack and the dlac. and i, the other people are going to speak more about our priorities but i just wanted to highlight the recommendation that we have that the district create like an oversight in implementation task force, you know, that would provide ongoing opportunities for the community and parents and students to have ongoing input in the implementation, you know, of the lcap and especially since this process to develop the lcap, you know was a bit rushed. and, there is a really good effort and we really wanted to acknowledge the eff

our priority has always been saving the day. because our priority... amazing! ...is you! the amazing spider-man 2 delivered by the united states postal service. i don't always have timeh to eat like i should.. that's why i like glucerna shakes. they have slowly digestible carbs to help minimize blood sugar spikes. [male announcer] glucerna... verizon has always set out to provide you with the most powerful and reliable network experience. and now for the next advancement. introducing verizon xlte. with 2x the 4g lte bandwidth and faster peak speeds in cities coast-to-coast, there's more space for everyone

it's one of my priorities. the second thing i want to mention is the police training and youth and police relationships. when we were kids, we would run from the police. we witnessed a lot of negative things. as i got older and started working in the mayor's office, all of a sudden the police are saying hi to me and actively engaging in the community and talking to me like a regular adult. all my life, i thought wait a minute. police are people like i'm a person and if they treat me with respect, and part of my point was i held kids accountable. they did classes to learn how to interact with the police. don't just, from my perspective, i didn't want the kids to immediately start thinking negative as soon as they saw the police. how do you interact with the police, how do you prevent yourself from becoming like negatively engaged in a head lock or something with an officer from talking back or doing something you are probably not supposed to be doing. these are based on my own experiences andersen -- scenarios and t
