i'll start with a quick profile of collision statistics and speeding information in the city. first of all from 2011 the number of vehicle collisions was 3111 of those 844 involved pedestrians and 630 involved bicyclists. of the -- another statistic is the number of collisions with fatal ities and that number has gone up respect respect ively and 622 collisions in in 2011 and over 21 percent of the drivers in the city exceed the speed limit by five miles per hour or more. this map shows where those streets are and when i say over 21 percent, this was some information com piled by the department of public health, that range is from 21 percent to a hundred so we could have significant numbers of drivers exceeding the speed limit. >> let me ask you to repeat that. i think this is highlighting the culture of speeding and unsafe driving in our city so at least 21 percent of the drivers are driving over the speed limit and it's on over 88 streets that are identified by that map. >> that is correct supervisor mar and as you can see they are scattered throughout the city. no neighborh

so i want to say thank you we're n a world-class city a world series champion city and hopefully very soon our nba champion city and the superb 50 next year the arraign we're a world-class city everybody cares cares about our city supervisor kim's is is great champion not only for the beautification of every alleyway as mohammed said one hundred and 50 thousand volunteer hours since 2000 we have some thirty thousand plant that have been 34r5e7bd throughout even though city as a result of clean city 3 million square feet of graft abatement and i know that because i got one million of them and i got it on the same signal box i know a million square feet that's a square block i want to say thank you to the community groups you're helping not only to help clean the city and getting volunteers young people as well as people that point careers and good jobs to work with you dpw and all the associate agency rec and park and all those departments are part of our youth hiring organization we use the most basically teams of respectfully the city to recruit our youths and you'll see many of them

but then went on to still have city contracts why would you still give city contracts that are worth more than the penalty into effect you've fined them because they were rob the public so it is warned warranted in a number of cases. >> why is the process that the city attorney mentioned why isn't that the way to handle it rather than through the ethics commission. >> well the city attorney has done it to a property developer here in san francisco and told the contractor they were going to debar you and first, it forced them into a settlement of $20 million but that doesn't - that's a process that takes place outside of the public and didn't see the public has an opportunity to make a complaint and have it referred and plus, it's a two-step you have to have a hearing here and something that goes on behind closed donors that's my answer. >> thank you. any other public comment? >> pacific islander berry this proposal adds debombardments from c from for impermissible hides i bids this will debar a contractor from a city contractor for a specific period of time this is a hash penalty whe

contracts if there's something that the city can do to address that city i know there's 09 challenges fits the reality we're dealing with that also does not enable us to keep with the health care costs and all the other increasing costs so really appreciate our consideration without many of our services expensive things will go up. >> thank you, ms. >> i work for the health client we do the go health serviced so 6 years i've been in this work in the city we had support important the hotels people and most at risk for as long as i've been at any of the agrees i have a compre

our city stands today as a sanctuary city, a place that not only welcomes and protects immigrants but it fully committed to see they succeed and they can participate in meaningful ways. thank you, supervisors, i'm around if you have any questions. >> thank you very much and thank you for your service with the office. thank you. >> call through the chair severen campbell, please. >> good afternoon, chair avalos, severen campbell from the budget analyst's office. two of our recommendations was to eliminate the distinction between tier 1 and tier 2 offices. we did do a second report where we looked at city departments and their expenditures for language access and identified efficiencies in the praus sets. i want to introduce right now mina yu who wrote the report and will give a brief presentation. >> good afternoon, supervisors. in order to address supervisor tang's request, we did two rounds of surveys with the city's 53 tier 1 and tier 2 departments. the purpose of the first survey was to get information on overall language access expenditures, bilingual employees, contracts with ven

of brotherly love, the wonderful city of philadelphia. and we have a convention that will be second to none. an opportunity to speak to the american people for our party's vision for the future and highlight our values and support our candidate who will become the 45th president of the united states of mesh. there is clearly no better city to have this event than philadelphia the role of philadelphia in shaping our history is unmatched but what is also unmatched is the comprehensive proposal that the team in philadelphia put together, a top notch plan for logistics, finance and security. our first priority was to ensure that the city could transport and house attendees seamlessly and make sure our delegates have the best possible experience and execute a convention that was safe and secure and make sure that the city has the resources to put on a unique large scale event. our process was a year long effort to dive deeply into the logistics and capability of each city and putting on a convention that we know is complex and it's primarily a

their employment-based hiring in the city. i then programmers and developers in the city. and further scrambling to find enough space so for example salesforces hopefully going to be moving into a new office tower within the next couple of years and even bloomberg is opening r&d facility south of market being near the tech corridor door. so medical research biotechnology along with social media and apps are really fueling this group growth. along with university of california, san francisco medical school is expanding its research and clinical footprint. let me briefly mention a few others. austin the second and is the most consistent performer in our top five. it's a night dynamic generator of jobs in the technology sector. just to give you a sense of the consistency among it ranked first third and ninth in job growth respectively from 2008 through 2003. in 2003 and year-over-year in august of this year. also it has very high wage growth. another part of the country, also in the west about polo was in the top three and really between san francisco boston and provo they we

that, of course city workers make you know much more of a living go wage and have great benefits and our nonprofit workers should have it, too it's a total inequality another point i want to bring up again private contractors with the city have those awkward increases from the contract and payroll some have a calculation ♪ there to have a for profit in the contract so this is a complete enequality between the nonprofits and the for profits contractors and the reality is the work percentage your members do they serve the hotels and help people find houshdz they're open the front lines of the constitutional rights and our workers what we see our workers really struggling and having to have longer than and longer than consultant time and not being able to support they are families and trying to go and find other work that is hurting the residents of the city so this is not a lot of money this shouldn't be a big thing this is what is fair it put in line with other workers in the city and simply keeps you want to mp i >> thank you . next speaker. >> >> good morning. i'm doggie diner doug

become a tale of two cities it is extremely rich or not rich we have a disconnect between housing we approved a housing elements being recommended called for 51 percent of affordability and all new destruction yes week and week we fool ourselves are the affordable rated every time we approve a housing let's not fool ourselves whatever we come up with the go mayor's office of housing he helps to move the needle towards the economy in all sectors and become balanced i think the jobs maturityer is an interesting one it came from a large tech company we have that struggler we struggle with the services we wanted to have here in the city the services with the $35 an hour plans on staying here we were constantly going out domestically like 2r0i9 aiken ken where the wages are lower they have a great workforce but one thing that go out with the jobs in the wage was turn offer we have the jobs but people are struggling to existing here and a high turnover forget it we have to have this activity somewhere else and to commissioner antonini's comment on prop m to my knowledge the first time we'r

and being a world-class city. so, when i say that were not sitting on our success, i also saved we are building upon our success. you know, we raised the minimum wage. that's a excitingly good thing for people really feel that they can't afford to be here. we are investing in transportation. we are implementing a very serious tax reform. how could you have a tax system that was literally taxing jobs when you're saying i want those jobs in our city for everybody? we are investing in our city's youth and families and education system. in unprecedented level. i was with the school district the other night as they swore in the school board members that were just elected and i spent the entire evening with the school district. i wanted to demonstrate how important education is to the entire city. we are building housing. you are going to hear me, this year and any other year, whether i'm elected or not, it's going to be housing housing housing for middle income for workforce housing, convertible income lovers. we are g

it's a shame people can work in this city but they can't afford to live in this city chl that's kind of troubling to me. i don't think we can put it all on the mayor, i think this needs a coalition of city hall. i think business, the tech companies, the citizens, i think we all have to have a coalition to work. this is a city-wide program. sometimes you hear it's up to the mayor, no, it's up to all of us. the businesses need to ante up, whether it's bonds, we're the best city in the united states, how can we afford to have senior citizens that lived their whole life here and not able to stay here any more. it's unacceptable. look at the homeless problem we have in the city, it's sad. you probably have more rich and wealth in this city than almost any city in the united states and we're having this conversation and just morally we have to do something about it and put a task force and work with the mayor and get the businesses, even if it's a bond. i mean i look out here and i see a lot of the san franciscoa th., even though the average age is 67, one day if you live, you will be an o

>> yes cities and municipalities yes. so all of those comments are just to say that again speed matters. we know that speed is probably the most important driving behavior that we need to get under control but it needs to to to be pursued in both policy context at the state level and also needs to be paired with the education and enforcement efforts that we're working on with everyone in the city family to move forward. so before i turn it over to ricardo, i would just put in a plug and hope that you will find a way to help us make that case in sacramento about automated safety enforcement this year and to begin to lay the ground work for some changes to the speed limit over the course of the session. thank you. >> good afternoon supervisors. i'm the city traffic engineer with the sfmta and i'd like to commend the legislative analyst 's office for for the report they made a complicated subject very understandable. and i think the board putting attention on this will help us as well as the public to understand some of the

staff it is the whole city that works on this (laughter) federal reserve the mayor's office the citydministrators offers and naomi kelly is critical in the task force and the departments of all sort of lined up behind the mayors directive assist the housing authority i know tom from dbi and planning and dpw and the human resources we're all working targeted a common goal this is again, the whole notion that the housing authority are no longer a island in san francisco i want to thank the enterprise list and the other people we're working with the developers and the cohorts and thank our housing developers we're uniquely blessed in san francisco to have 5 eco system they've step up to the plate and it is continuing to be difficult they'll do it t and last but not least i want to thank my staff who have been working on this lydia and others who have been leading the charge (clapping.) again, thank you all we will all do this together and hopefully, all see each other in he 12 months for the groundbreaking for the first one or the completion of the late last - at this point we'll on the

a casino-based city to a city that will be much more diversified. >> guardian promised property taxes will not go up. he says he will slash the budget by $30 million and will press the state for tens of millions more in aid. >>> and city council is making a move that could draw more families to atlantic city. according to philly.com city council approved an expansion of the steel pier last night. it will include a giant ferris wheel and a zip line. council also approved plans to rebuild the boardwalk and add restaurants and recreational facilities. >>> meantime a.c.'s future will also include stockton university. richard stockton college in galloway township officially took that name last night. the school opened in 1971. enrollment has jumped from 1,000 students to more than 8,000. and the name change comes just months before the school opens its island campus on the boardwalk in the old showboat casino in atlantic city. the school expects classes to start in the fall. stockton officials told us they're talking also about using an existing building in cape may. nbc 10 is covering the

san francisco was the first city in the country to do this. families do not need to sign up for the program. they are automatically once their kids are enrolled in our public schools, they are enrolled. accounts are held by the city of san francisco which is ultimately the custodian of these accounts. funds are held by city bank who is partner of this program. there are actually no fees that are related to the account. on a personal note i feel there is something about knowing once you start your education that there is an expectation that you are going to go to college. the fact that a kid enters a public school system knowing that they are not on the expected to go to college, but the city is making an investment in their college education is very powerful. more than 8,000 students in all of the 74 almost schools of the unified school district have accounts. more than 18000 students. this includes two charter schools, thomas edison, charter academy and greater arts charter school. more than 2100 families have made deposits and ooefr the -- o

the city state our state of the city is strongest and getting stronger. (clapping.) it is is a unique moment in our history the city is busing with energy and pride not just because the warriors have the best record in the nabbing or the giant or world champions again and again and again (clapping) you know the ideas that conceived no incubator that microbe to the bayview from south of market to central market has spurred economic prosperity in our city our neighborhoods bustle again with young families and thriving small businesses our skylines 2r06r78d with the commercial towers 5 new hospitals under construction today soon to be joined by the central subway and chanted moscone center for the golden gate warriors a wastewater treatment plant and new neighborhood along the central waterfront that employees thousands of construction workers well, thank you to the hard working men and women to the construction trades the laborers and operating engineers and entertainment and electrical workers all the trade for rebuilding our city thank you (clapping) my f

that's why affordable housing is so urgent in the city. >> the request about poverty in the city are we setting up such a invading poster levels of poverty is is higher. >> i believe the recited rate a higher but the distinction of poverty didn't fit our city we have another problem a number of people and it's hard to kind of get the demographics but people that are lower income to move out of the city it's reasonable to look at the data and conclude that people come to san francisco when they're very poor work here for a few years and move out it tend to be the people that move out tend to be lower income than the people that move in thank you. >> commissioner dooley. >> i wanted to go back to the housing situation with the middle-class housing in terms of it's hard i know in north beach my area for people to find employees that don't want to commute i have seen all the traditional housing that will house those people say boric acid out and being sold to people who don't live there and the merchant in my area are noticing that also those folks are not getting their dry cleaning done

it's where the city started in our neighborhoods were the first neighborhoods of the city. consequently, we are exceptionally dense compact area. we supply a lot of housing to the city of san francisco and so while the city's attention is a lot on the shiny baubles to the south and to the west of us, we are doing our bit to provide housing for thousands and thousands of people. and that -- we traded we've traded our parking, our spacious apartments, even our backyards. we've traded that for a coziness and a compactness. we've traded it for a community and for affordability. i think for all of us who love the charm of north beach imac we also recognize the fact that it's affordability is what keeps it covers and keeps it interesting and what makes it district 3 and so surely, one of the main goals for anyone in my office needs to be to keep our neighborhoods are affordable to keep the families and the seniors that i work a lot with, to make sure that they can stay here to keep the wide variety of people that we have, the aetna ethnicities the economic levels, the professiona

celebrate a historic agreement between the housing authority the housing and urban development and the city that permits the housing u housing authority to utilities the program a relatively new program in combination with other hud programs to rehab over 35 hundred units of public utilities in san francisco and sustain another thousand more unit (clapping) yes, it pretty much covers all of the public utilities showcase stock in san francisco this is why this work has taken a while the demonstration program was to provide a way for housing authority across the industry country to fund the repairs that in fact, the federal government couldn't afford to fund or was not able to fund we are at the starting line of something special in san francisco as well as for the nation we'll further demonstrate for congress and for the rest of the nation how the rental system demonstration program can benefit public utilities residents we know that hud got the caps lifted in terms of rad but the goal to prove the program and make sure increase not a scape again so the resources as they become available we'

[applause] >> i will introduce the treasurer tax collector jose cisneros. >> thank you mr. mayor. thank you so much for your kind words and your dedication and your partnership on launching this important new tax. as you mentioned mayor prop e was passed over two years ago, and i am here to report to you and to the entire city of san francisco that we are now at the point we can say we have successfully deliver the gross tax receipts system on time and on budget. [applause] so believe me a lot of people deserve credit for that success and i will be honest it's not an easy road. our previous tax system was not just built to accommodate this kind of a measure and therefore we executed an agreement for a new tax system which configured almost all of our taxes including the new gross receipts tax. i would really like to recognize our great vendors on the project who are us today and let's acknowledge them for their great work. thank you so much. [applause]

city commissions. we are giving formerly tier 2 departments until next fiscal year to comply with the parts specifically regarding interpretation and translation. we recognize they may need to make some budget asks to comply so we want to encourage them to do so. we are clarifying telephonic messages do not include employee mailboxes. we are including -- for complaints received through city boards, city commissions and advisory bodies they will be part of the complaint process. we are adding additional information that ocea will provide specifically on complaints to the irc, and so again i know that supervisor yee has additional comments but we really want to emphasize that our goal is not to overburden our departments with these requirements. many of them exist already but we want to make sure that everyone has the ability to access whatever it is they need with san francisco city services. with that first i will let supervisor yee make some comments and then like to invite up adrian pon from ocea and

it was no picnic in crystal city. >> let's watch a little bit of an overview of crystal city, the camp>> the sun shines practically every day of the year with a cool breeze from the gulf in the evening. originally, it was a migratory labor camp of approximately 1000 housing units, utility, and recreation buildings. to provide for a population of 3600, we added more than 500 housing units, school buildings, a hospital, and maintenance building. we tripled the number of streets and extended electric and sewage facilities. this is the perimeter over which armed guards kept a 24-hour watch. at night, the illumination on top of the fence was visible almost to the mexican border. >> you said they voluntarily went in, but could not get out voluntarily. >> absolutely. as you can see, those guard towers, they were always under armed guard. everyone knew the penalty for an attempt to escape was death, and in the entire history of the camp, no one ever attempted to escape. for one thing, where would you go? you are in the middle of nowhere. despite the fact that they said there was a cool breeze

cities are doing and we'll also discuss how enforcement and engineering and education interplay with speed limits to make streets safer and the status quo, according to the report from what i see from the data clearly is not working after dropping significantly in the nineties and early 2000's the rates of collisions have largely leveled off i'd frame it as they haven't decreases as we might have wanted to over the last decade. that's not what a modern san francisco or a global city like ours should be feeling like as people are on on our streets. over the past 5 years i've had really good conversations with our department of public health staff especially our director of environmental health but also other staff on a vision that looks at reducing speed limits as improving the public health and our department of public health continues along with the mta to lead on making our city safer especially with our vision zero processes but san francisco i fear is falling behind new york portland and other cities in america according to the report and in places like bristol and london and par

falling behind new york portland and other cities in america according to the report and in places like bristol and london and paris that are taking boulder and faster actions than we are in our city and we can really learn from these practices from other cities and apply them to our unique conditions here in san francisco i'd like to acknowledge with us today are fred ro u.s. seo and from the mta we have a director of sustainable streets mr. tom maguire from the department of transportation in new york where he worked for years improving safer streets in new york and our sustainable streets division and from the department of public health we have our co-chair of our san francisco vision zero task force and commander ann mannox working hard on the vision zero processes in our city and the audience nicole snider and tyler frisbee and many others. with that colleagues i'd like to ask if you have any opening comments supervisor christensen . >> supervisor campos. >> i just want to thank you and thank supervisor yee and kim i look forward to the presentations and suggestions and thank you

contracts if there's something that the city can do to address that city i know there's 09 challenges fits the reality we're dealing with that also does not enable us to keep with the health care costs and all the other increasing costs so really appreciate our consideration without many of our services expensive things will go up. >> thank you, ms. >> i work for the health client we do the go health serviced so 6 years i've been in this work in the city we had support important the hotels people and most at risk for as long as i've been at any of the agrees i have a comprehensive staff and seen cuts we see nonprofits getting increases and this moment i realizing realize in the absence of a cost of living increase not only the absence of an increase is is cut because everything is getting more expensive this past beyond a reasonable doubt people are displayed out of the tenderloin and sow we werelism hotels ourselves and were almost not able to find a home because of the fear of the neighborhood but one of the things we helped them understand the services that concludes my report is a

[applause] >> thank you muhammad. the two year plan that muhammad referenced is the vision zero action strategy that the mayor is releasing today. this vehicle training program is one piece of it, but the strategy is kind of an action plan for the next two years in the areas of education, engineering, enforcement, evaluation and policy, and it tasks many of the departments here and others in the city family with specific goals and milestones and things that we are seeking and the mayor is directing us to achieve in the next two years, so that we can get closer to that 2024 goal, so we do have -- it's up on our website and i believe we have copies here for the media or we will make copies available if

we just want a show as any major city should. we're the largest city in the country without a team.t seems we ought to have a shot. >> in fairness the owner of the a's does not support this lawsuit. it doesn't threaten me at all. but i think that one thing we need to learn from each other is that the days of government subsidizing sports teams is over. and we cannot afford to have a race to the bottom in these ill-conceived stadium deals and maybe oakland learned its lessons from the past. >> will you work together to try to get the olympics? >> oh, yeah. i mean, as brief of the ability well had to start talking about it when the decision was made we got a sense from each other that when it comes to such an important international event like the olympics, it's something that brings our cities together. ultimately us mayors realize not just sports but academically -- >> transportation. >> transportation wise, economically, our bay area is now having to compete with the likes of london, paris, shanghai, other places, where if we don't work together then we all lose. i think this is wh
