it is like all the city in a big place. it's great. owd you can always tell what type of energy is out there, and it sounds like people really appreciate the music, it seems like a real freedom here. music should be somewhere where people can come together no matter what background you are from. we need music to connect and i don't think that should ever be something people are afraid to come together for. we saw stormzy earlier. are you a grime fan? i'm interested in the grime scene, and he's one of the best. i saw little mi earlier, they are trained, they are the dressing room next to mine and theirvocalwarm—ups were quite impressive. i don't think i can nail that. i'm going to stay at the french level, below that. but that was not the only festival in town. north atlantic flux celebrated hull's historic ties to scandinavia and was created by the musician john grant. hull is a place that has been on my radarfor some time, several of the artists i admire have connections to hull. i think you will see what hull has to offer and also thi

not only do these huge vessels flood the city with daytrippers, they're also threatening the lagoon city'sery foundations. stefano micheletti: the big ships' propellers have a piston effect. they churn up all the subsoil, so clay and silt from the lagoon are gradually washed into the open sea. reporter: as a result, venice, a city built on wooden piles, is slowly sinking and could eventually be completely underwater. but micheletti isn't giving up. his citizens' initiative has managed to prevent even more cruise ships from coming into venice. stefano micheletti: when a ship like that goes by, the water level in the nearby canals sinks by around 20 centimeters and then rises again right afterwards, due to the displacement. this hugely powerful force eats away at the foundations of the palaces, churches, and bridges. reporter: but not everyone in venice is happy about micheletti's initiative. the port authorities invested millions of euros in modern cruise terminals. now, due to the success of the protests, only half of them can be used. galliano di marco: for four years we've been listening

growth, the arts, and social change. our city has always been on the edge of progress and innovation. after all, we're at the meeting of land and sea. - our city is famous for its iconic scenery, historic designs, and world- class style. it's the birthplace of blue jeans, and where "the rock" holds court over the largest natural harbor on the west coast. - the city's information technology professionals work on revolutionary projects, like providing free wifi to residents and visitors, developing new programs to keep sfo humming, and ensuring patient safety at san francisco general. our it professionals make government accessible through award-winning mobile apps, and support vital infrastructure projects like the hetch hetchy regional water system. - our employees enjoy competitive salaries, as well as generous benefits programs. but most importantly, working for the city and county of san francisco gives employees an opportunity to contribute their ideas, energy, and commitment to shape the city's future. - thank you for consid

i love this about the city. i will continue to pick up the trash knowing everybody else will do the same but we have smarter ways to recycle everything we touch. let us continue to make the commitment we have made to the next generation. we will lead this city and this planet in better condition than when we first became obligated to serve it. thank you. [applause.] >>> wow. yes, indeed. that is our challenge to leave this planet and this city in a better shape. that is open of our responsibilities. it takes political leadership to make things happen. it takes advocacy from the community. mayor lee and our department have been working for three years with a large supermarket to have them come together to troubleshoot and find a solution to move forward, and i am so pleased to say that with sb458 and the pilot program those supermarkets are still at the table and we are going to work together to find the innovative solutions to create joint accountability of the large markets working together to find solutions. th

the city population is booming. and just to give you a sense of comparison, the commercial rent tax in manhattan is 4% after exemptions and carve-outs. at a time when san francisco has one of the highest cost of living in the country, and growing income gap, i believe that those corporations that have received huge windfall profits and stand to receive even more from the federal administration, it's time to share the burden and have them start to be part of the solution. having said that, i know there is an endless amount of need for many laudable things, including what we just heard from supervisors kim and yee and other competing interests and i look forward to having that conversation and working with you colleagues and administration to see where we go from here and where we end up. i am also introducing and want to thank supervisors ronen and sheehy for their cosponsorship, the update of the slope protection act that ensures that proper geo technical analysis is done, so we don't end up with what we ended up at

it is a somber tuesday morning in the city by the bay. the great city of san francisco. mayor ed lee died at 1:11 this morning at zuckerberg san francisco general. the mayor, a fighter for affordable housing for civil rights for the homeless. someone who helped create the tech boom that the city is going through right now. a true innovator, bringing innovators to the city of san francisco. flags at half-staff outside of city hall. mayor lee also took a lot of pride as an international beacon. he is a true leader. this morning, san francisco mourning the loss of its first asian-american mayor. with that, we welcome you to the 9 on this tuesday morning. just woke up this morning for myself at 4:00 and we heard the word shock a lot from willie brown and now from libby schaaf. that's what it was for me. >> that was the case for so many. it is really important for us to think back to what san francisco was in 2011. we had just come out of the recession. the mayor said to me that he was the jobs, jobs, jobs mayor. back then, double digit unemployment. we talk about the mid mark

by the 1990s, though, the city itself began to go thru a real revival. and because of the sturdy, well-built infrastructure, the built environment of tacoma, the recovery of the city largely happened around the reuse of the historic buildings that were already here. and it was during that period people began to realize, hey, wait a minute, the origin of the city is still intact. it's still here and still functioning. so in the 1990s, and into the current century, after 2000 the campus -- the university of washington launched the campus here. they had been downtown. they moved to the warehouse district and began buying up all the old empty warehouses and building a modern day campus. and a few years ago now, about 2010 with the expansion of the library, for the first time people began to talk about actually intruding on the 80 foot right-of-way of the prairie line. that was conversation in building out the campus that they would start to encroach. and then somebody remembered that the 80 foot right-of-way is where everything started, and the university mad

we were worried about the economic future of the city. he was not inheriting a house in order. >> exactly. >> yes and no because it was at the end of the crisis. he came in january 2011 as mr. newsome moved off. he came in at exactly the time that the progressives were seriously talking about giving a tax break to the people who you wanted to move up here from the silicone valley. ed lee didn't have to orchestrate any of that. it all just happened. it had been in incubation for a period of time under newsome. he got the benefit of that. believe me that was the thing that propelled his administration to this day. >> you were instrumental as were a couple other people in selecting ed lee who has been city administrator, a bureaucrat. why? why did you select ed lee to be the stand in for newsomend then turn around talk him into running? was that part of a master plan? >> at all times, many of us were about trying to make sure that the asian community that had moved between 30 and 35% of the population would get appropriate representation. we

college for the use of city college. if you do pass this, we pledge that we will have an initiative to protect the people of city college and not have more million-dollar condos in san francisco. that's well we need to protect city college. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. next up, francena litrono. >> good afternoon. >> good afternoon. >> my comments are, public lands should not be privatized. it's been used by city college for 40 years. the best use is by the college and its students and future generations of students rather than housing. i have to ask, how can any one of you explain how government code can be ignored and circumvented. 54222 requires that the land be declared surplus. how is the execution of this exclusive negotiating agreement not illegal? was a written public offer given to these public institutions? finally, as far as the "robust community engagement process," it's important to know that the machinations of the balboa land grab has been anything but. they're politically motivated and controlled th

order to maintain a consistent travel time in the city on the city streets across all modes. and really the only way we're going to be able to do that as we continue to deal with the constraints we have in terms of the roadway network that we have is that as we have more bus lanes and as we try to accommodate people on bicycles, etc., we're going to have these trade-offs that are required for us to make between space for cars and space for other modes. so tdm really is the place where those policies start to come out in order to ensure that people have the options that work for them. and then also identify the services and the programs and the support that we provide to make sure that people have access and mobility within that system, so that as we are making the trade-offs, between how we use our streets, people are able still to get around in a timely manner. so this document really comes out of 2012 effort where mtc funded some work, the climate protection programs. we formed an interagency transportation demand management partnership that really started from the very bare

city wide denies the patients the right to injury trials. city wide compacts cruel and unusual punishment. city wide denies its patients personal security and bodily integrity. city wide uses medicine to control patients unnecessarily, because it offers no avenue of complaint. city wide denies its patients equal treatment under the laws. you're knowledgeable of the violations, but you do nothing to prevent them, therefore you have violated your oaths of office. i ask for your resignation. you misspelled my name on two of the meetings. >> president breed: thank you. next speaker. >> madame president, i haven't been here for a while, i was on jury duty, a panel of 24 people. i was having a cat fight with other lawyers. i didn't wind up on the jury. but it was on the panel with 24 people and of 24, only one did not have a college degree. there were four ph.d. a bio chemist on one side of me and engineer on the other. we started to talk before the hearing and we start to talk and the chemical normal says in your time in san francisco there must b

he knew the workings of the city. of course the pride of being the first met -- asian-american mayor of san francisco. he brought the experience of being an officer and knowing how the city works and making the city work for the people. he brought a beautiful attitude. there is no way that i've never heard him say an unkind word about anyone or heard anyone see an unkind word about him. he was a person of great values. he could about every person in our community. the issues of homelessness, those very tough issues, affordable housing and the rest, he worked very hard on that. and especially for our veterans. our homeless vets and for everyone else. his legacy is one of respect for the dignity and worth of everyone in our city. for lifting of the city economically. hopefully that left would spread to everyone. and addressing individual concerns in a way only he could do having been the chief administrative officer. the pride he took in his heritage. the joy he took in his family. the responsibility he took for our city

, llc for the electronic city record system. i would like to give some background to this request. the electronic health records system is used to digitally capture all hospital and medical clinic system. currently, department of public health support approximately 550,000 patients encountered p peryear, with approximately $650 billion in annual revenue. it also allows us to comply with rules and regulations so we can keep our accreditations. we have a patch work of systems that this ehr will be replacing. in addition, this new system will allow us to manage our risk due to our end-of-life system that will be in the supporting 220. this system, the ehr system, this contract will provide us with software, support, implementation services, maintenance services, as well as hosting. this product was selected through an rfp process. the ehr system is needed for department of public health of san francisco to improve our patient care outcomes, as well as to avoid any potential financial risk due to inability to bill as our primary syst

criteria to be accepted by the city. simply, the street tree s.f. makes it possible that the city does not take on maintenance for trees before designated time period and, thus, reduces the city's liability. it is important that we continue to work to sustain a long-term vision and strategy for our street trees. this will help us achieve beautiful streets and help the environments. i'll now turn it over to karla short which is part of the department of public works. >> thank you, karla. >> thank you. so, we're here today to consider some proposed code changes as required by the ordinance to the public works code. i'll justs give very brief background to how we got here. as you all know, budget. -- budget cuts to the tree program over the last decade resulted in inadequate public works through the public forest. as a result, they transferred them to property own ores. a hugely unpopular but necessary initiative. it was lousy compared to other cities. the report provided recommendations for improvinging the situation. one o

i really want to re-emphasize the vision of this city and the residents of this city. we truly are a world-class city. if that is not a testament to it, i don't know what is. so, thank you all for the vision of implementing this service and let's get this train on the road. thank you.
