of yourrol the bread city. millennials contributed a lot to their personal brand of where they live. if your city is the most attractive place for the generation to live, if they let the culture, the fun, the environment, everything about your city, then they are going to come there. if they come there, enterprise will chase you. you guys are article. you have great -- already cool. you have great food, great music. there's a lot going on. the way new orleans came together as a community was inspirational. is the kind of city want to be part of. you can apply this to everyone if your cities. if new orleans is able to celebrate the strength and make its culture the main point, he will attract millennials and then amazon will come. >> i think he is exactly right. >> how did the tragedy of katrina help bring people back together physically into the foot print of the city, but also realize literally and securely we are in the same boat? >> as you know, we suffered one of the great tragedies. we had katrina, rita, k

as residents of san francisco, who pay taxes and fines into the city's coffers, we want to know the city officials invest our funds wisely, with a city not only ends high-interest but also where investments contribute to quality of life for all san franciscans. a private bank can do this. other communities are realizing the best way for government funds to work efficiently and responsibly is to deposit them in a public bank. a public bank that will allow us explicit inclusion of a broad range of policy goals and purposes. purposes such as public welfare. public welfare through equitable public investments to overcome the harmful impacts of extractive economies, unlike a commercial bank it stands on the principle that public welfare is the priority rather than profit for private shareholders. public bank will provide credit and financial services to local communities underserved by mainstream commercial banks and lenders and by limited public investment to undue the historical legacy of wealth disparities and harmful economic environments or social housing and transportation impacts on th

and european cities on climate. mayors across the world continue to make progress on climate, both in mitigating emissions, improving resiliency. i might mention it's important to remember, i think we forget to consider this many times that those of us living in the united states, i won't say america because our canadian friends are here and they're way down and are better off on the scale than we are, but we produce as citizens of the united states more carbon per person than any other country on earth. so we can learn from what people in other countries are doing. i encourage all of us to do that. in fact there's been a number of mayors that have been working with european cities for some time including our past president, elizabeth kouts of burnsville. i've had the opportunity to make several trips to europe working through the german-american marshall fund. i had recently had the mayor of bonn -- in bonn last year for the follow-up to the paris talks. so let me ask mayor cownie to offer some initial remarks and

how do integrate these smart city concepts into cities that are highly urbanised and populated ?tion smart city for instance or even other cities like shenzhen, what we see is that there is a great wealth of knowledge and a shared intelligence where people want to actually create start—up companies that will actually help bring people from the slums and give them jobs then give them aid at a place to live, what we are seeing is that in these first—generation smart cities, there has been that kind of opportunity for people to grow within the cities. so that is smart 1.0. what about 2.0? 2.0 city is one we start to see, well, if the first generation was all about big companies, big infrastructure, technology and the economy, very top—down government riven, the second generation is all about people power, all about what is in it for me? what is it for my culture, what is in it for me on the street? what about the third generation? they start to the environmental aspects. we are all aware of the climate change agenda, keeping a lid on temperature rising. what we see is a greater embr

it was an open city. jonathan bender: the open city? wlliam ouseley: how did that book title come about. theyuling 30's gangsters, would come to kansas city for the rest and relaxation. ier, would check in with laz and play golf. this was a notorious city. money floating in. you can imagine it flowed in by the millions. 1933, prohibition is over. the mob is now looking for new vices. gambling is one they got into. they continues, to put and prosper. they don't go away because there is no more reflecting. -- bootlegging. these other criminal groups involved in bootlegging fade away. cosa-nostra gradually takes over. the group didn't have any resistance or competition. they were the big dog. they got sadder, wealthier, politically stronger -- fatter, wealthier, politically stronger. pendergast and the new bob boss were indicted and went to jail. reformers took over. they had been fighting for years. they cleared out city hall, everybody. the mob had to surface or go underground. they didn't have the protection of the police. but they were

the city was a dead city.ecause this was the second time we took seoul back from the communists, we were paired for -- we were pretty much prepared for what exactly we were going to find. you never get used to it though. all in all, the city was an awful shape. --water, nope transportation no water, no transportation, no electricity or power. the chinese occupation forces took most of the overhead wire. kids are the ones who always suffer most. they never know what is going on or why. and how can you explain to them after they have just seen their whole family get killed? ♪ >> seoul was in very bad shape as far as food was concerned. there just wasn't any. the communist who profess to be representative of the working people, the farmers seem to take , it vantage of them. they lived off the land taking their food, not giving them medical treatment. ♪ everyone came back as soon as they could. a lot of them, right out of caves. so, our first job was to get water for civilians and our troops. >> during the occupat

we work, we live, we city hall. i have a point about city hall. i've been to some of your city halls, and they are beautiful, but that doesn't mean the energy inside them is buzzing. to attract young talent to work for mayors that is then going to reshape policy in the way we need for the future, create an environment they thrive in. they only work at amazon and google because it feels good. they want to work at city hall, and the reason they do, mill len y cherish meaning over material goods. show them you're mission driven. they will join. i think even though some city halls look nice and some don't, until we have that buzzing environment that the smartest, youngest, most talented individuals of this country want to go work for, you have not fully succeeded. >> an exclamation point on this with mayors across america. i do think that probably now is the time to think about redesigning the spaces that we work in and how citizens interact with us, and i think that possibilities are just really infinite in how we reconnect physically and in realtime

we're a city of community and city of leaders who want to work together. and with that, i would like to bring up to the podium, a person who needs no introduction. our mayor, mayor mark farrell. [applause] >> mayor farrell: first of all, any deacons in the house? come on, we can cheer! all right. listen, i want to thank maria for all of your hard work on behalf of the city's families and children. i want to acknowledge a number of people here today. first of all, supervisor safai is here. district attorney gascon next to him and our school board members. we have our president. as well as commissioner walton. and as well as our vice president of our school, please give him a hand as well. and i know commissioner haney was coming as well. today is a chance to celebrate the bright future of our city's children here in san francisco. while we do honor the legacy of our late mayor, edwin lee. mayor lee was a longtime champion of children here in san francisco and today, we also will celebrate that. you know, it is our responsibility as a city to uphold the valu

alone could paralyze the city. in london with its eight million inhabitants the government launched an emergency program to build shelters. in a biscuit that's not an issue that has been a comfortable. but how much protection could thin corrugated shelters offer against a barrel of steel. on september first nine hundred thirty nine hitler's troops invaded poland. world war two had begun. back out in european capitals lights were turned off so that enemy warplanes wouldn't be able to use them for orientation. in paris london and even in berlin no one felt safe anymore. the war many dreaded for so long had finally come. on september third france and britain declared war on germany. later that day u.s. president franklin roosevelt announced. he had already sent a letter to germany poland italy france and england. i'm addressing this urgent appeal to every government which may be engaged in hostilities publicly to affirm. that its armed forces shall not undertake the bombardment of civilian populations or on forty five

the redevelopment efforts are part of the city but they're not exactly part of the city's budget, sohave their own line for them. development impact fees, we administer the interagency group ipic, which administers the area plan impact fees, so we receive money for the administration of that which includes staff time and in the ju bet years also includes money for a nexus study and study relates to the impact fees. and in the current year we got some funding for specific projects, specifically for the rail project, and that decreases because it is one time funding. looking at expenditure recovery, that is when we spend time for other city departments that they reimburse us for, so we're recovering our staff time costs from the other city departments. and general fund support makes up the rest of it. so if you recall, we are mostly a self-supporting department with a small amount of general fund coming in, and the mayor's office, this year, as they did last year, asked for a reduction from the base general fund number that was in our budget year, and so we have reduced from the base b

and other city agencies. the men and women of the san francisco police department are the finest police officers in the country, but we need more of them. we should not be hemmed in the archaic officer-charter commitment. it's a false summit. and it's not representative of the ever-changing city. these are major commitments and i know i have a limited time to accomplish the goals, but they're what is right for the city of san francisco and i promise to work to see them through. i hope everyone will join me in those efforts and i look forward to working together. thank you, everyone. >> president breed: returning to our agenda. madame clerk. >> items 1 through 11, consent. these items are considered to be routine unless a member objects, an item may be removed and considered separately. >> president breed: madame clerk, call the roll. >> on items 1 through 11. safai aye. sheehy aye. stefani aye. tang aye. yee aye. breed aye. cohen aye. fewer aye. kim aye. peskin aye. ronen aye. there are 11 ayes. >> those item

we all know the car break-ins in the city are out of control.hen we moved into our house 17 years ago, broken glass on the street was a rarity. now it's a daily occurrence. just a few months ago my son's friend was mugged in the marina walking home from school. he's only in the 7th grade. the number of guns on our streets, the fact that our children now routinely face lockdown drills to plan in the event of a potential mass shooter is unacceptable. we have to do better. as a former prosecutor, i understand our criminal justice system and i understand that there must be consequences when people commit crimes. we must provide more resources for our police officers, our da's office and our courts so they can make a difference. the homeless issue in our city is a crisis, we all know that. my daughter cries every time she sees a homeless person. not because she's scared but because she's like me and it's hard for her to see someone suffer. we must see these individuals as human beings in need of help. i believe we can look to our nonprofits as models

our budget looks like the city budget. we get a work order from all the different city departments with an allocation and do work with and for them under the work order and whatever we don't spend is typically returned to the fund at the end of the fiscal year. there are a couple of departments where the last dollar is general fund dollars, so those are particularly returned to the general fund. in general, we spend something on the order of now 85% of the allocation, sometimes we go over on individual line items and then we have a balancing issue with those departments but we have never overspent our aggregate budget. that's how we develop the work plan. this is a list of our issued reports during the first six months of the fiscal year in reverse chronological order. we have all of our standard reports that we have to issue for the performance side of the house have been issued. those are, expecept for one, th performance report and scorecards and nonprofit monitoring report, the park standards report, the nonprofit moni

we represent in san francisco over 15,000 city workers who are vested in the city's pension fund and we're urging the board of retirement to divest in dirty fossil fuels now. i want to give a huge shout out to everyone who has played an important role in this, it's been a village that has come together to help move this. thank you former supervisor ovolose, supervisor peskin, supervisor cohen, president breed. and the commission on the environment for your resolution pass last evening. thank you very much and i would be remissed without acknowledging our retirees here who have broken their backs to ensure this is a priority for sciu 10-1, particularly david page, melissa hawthorne and many others here who have led the fight. with this, we have reached the point of insanity. it's a bad investment. we're losing money on this investment and destroying our communities and we still have to spend our time, energy and effort here to fight for it. what is going on. this is absolutely insane. with all the challenges we're facing right now from the federal level, from throughout this country,

in 2016, our city grappled with crisis seen in a lot of american cities, the dissolution of trust among the community and law enforcement. responding to cries from our community for improvement, mayor lee reached out to attorney general lynch and the department of justice and san francisco entered into an agreement to evaluate the police department and get independent analysis of how we could serve our city. the department of justice presented recommendations and our city embraced all recommendations and to work closely with the justice department. to date we have started more than half of those reforms and huge credit to the police chief bill scott and the men and women of our police department that have embraced the reforms. we have some of the best officers in our country. and we are seeing promising improvements with use of force incidents down 18% just last year. unfortunately, attorney general jeff sessions announced that the department of justice would no longer provide assistance or guidance to departments seeking to improve the trust between the police and the public. but under

the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolism about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting. >> great job. >> i've been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and i'm grateful for the work that i get to do, especially on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with my words to

to the eastern part of the city. so therefore, beyond sunset reservoir in the long run, a second source of supply, whether from lake merced or the pacific ocean is highly desirable. not only for the western part of the city, but if as i pointed out in my memo, if that is then connected into the existing awss, supplying potentially even the eastern part of the city. for some reason we have problems there. and i think in the long run as san francisco is built out, you want sources of supply at all four quadrants of the city. we have them now in the northeast quadrant, something in the southeast quadrant, with sunset, something in the western part of the city, but lake merced and the salt water pump station would flush that out. i hope that answers your question. >> yes. do you think if we just had one, we just had the lake merced pump station, do you think that is adequate? or do you suggest we should have a salt water pump along the west coast, the western border in the ocean? >> in the long run, i would like to see a

of these city of dusseldorf has some of germany's most polluted air it was one of the cities sued by environmental action germany for repeatedly violating pollution limits of nitrogen oxide well the mayor of dusseldorf is thomas guys well he joins me tonight from dusseldorf good evening to you mr mayor so what does today's ruling mean for you will you now ban diesel vehicles from your city well good evening well first of all it does not necessarily mean that we have to bend these will cars i mean what the court has decided is that a ban on diesel cars is legally possible but it has to be implemented by maintaining what they call the proportionality principle that means only if a ban on diesel cars is the only efficient means to reach the threshold values for what is that nitrogen oxides as it is in english and nitrogen oxide only then it needs to be implemented what other means there are other shoals what are what are they what what are they i mean you got there the dirtiest air in germany so why not ban diesel engines that would seem to be the the easiest the best solution for you.

energy and commitment to shape the city's future but for considering a career with the city and county of san francisco >> san francisco, the most beautiful city on the planet. let me take a moment to introduce myself. my name is kimmy, and you listen to me every morning on the morning dream team. it is a pleasure to be here. there are events that i do, but there's events that mean a lot to me. i'm born and raised in san francisco san francisco. i'm a bernal heights baby, courtland kid, so when i hear that galileo high school is not only the city champs but the state champ, it makes me extra excited. and when president london breed asked me to emcee this event, it's clear there's no place i would rather be than right here right now. so we are here to honor you guys. the focus is on you. we are so proud of you, and on behalf of the city and county of san francisco, can we just all say congratulations? cha yes. give these young men a standing ovation for all the times you were tired, you wanted to quit, they didn't you couldn't do it, they didn't believe in you. what are these guys from

the city. the city is a special place that tolerates everyone. and many muslims who live in the city, eat only halal meat. it's important for us to eat halal and fresh meat that has frozen food that has been in the freezer for months. the city should be proud and support a small business. abiding by all the rules and regulations should be a priority for our city leaders. the track record of the oakland location is great. they have full-time health inspector and the place is very clean and well maint maintained. i'm one of their biggest customers. supporting organic stores, this type of business should be supported as well. with regards to the environmental impact, i am a licensed chemical engineer in the state of california and it's commonsense to me there is no such environmental impact. it's a very small business as you have seen in the picture, family owned, many of the employees will be hired from the city itself. we're not talking about a huge slaughterhouse that slaughters thousands of an

it is not the only european city .you take a look at paris in france, they have already bans most diesel -- banned most diesel cars maybe four 2000. in 2020, all diesel cars will be banned from the streets in paris. the mayor of london also said he will ban diesel cars in 2020 and is been joined by other cities like madrid, athens, or even mexico city. they also want to ban diesel motors in mexico city, and they will do it in five years later to curb nitrogen oxides and other toxins in their cities. as you can imagine, sing all of this, it is not the best time to buy a diesel car right now. germany. while some celebrate -- right now here in germany. while some celebrate this ban, others worry about that consequences to their cities. here are two sides of the discussion. >> the idea of smog conjures up notions of bustling capitals. berlin is one of 17 german cities notorious for breaking legal air pollution limits. could city centers soon be no-go areas for millions of cars? over in frankfurt, the used car dealer marcel
