one as city administrator he implemented 3-1-1. he was the one who worked with the deputy city administrator ben rosenfeld who got the call senator off the ground. as city administrate, unfortunately, the events of hurricane katrina happened and he was with the public utilities commission and traveled to new orleans and was with an activist who now the mayor of new orleans and started the life line council. out of that started the neighborhood empowerment network and made sure our city was resilient. when i talk about he didn't just say i have an idea, he rolled up his sleeves writing the standard operating procedures and going back to the department of public works he started the community team event and mohammad was working as the deputy director it's now part of our institution we take for granted it's government. it's his hard work and rolling up his sleeves with great deputies who had many of these events put in place. with that i think we should honor him with the impact award. i think gabe is going to figure that out. >> thank you, naoimi. naoimi and

. >> when i was working at the city i worked as a contractor in the national 9-1-1 project which was when the department of emergency management was first create. after a few years i realized it was something i wanted to make a dashboard that let us know at any time how many ambulances we have and how many are private and how much additional resources we need to provide. working with the fire department i get to interact with other departments and that's something i in -- enjoy. with 9-1-1 and we can look at saving lives and protecting property from fire and natural disasters. i'm not there. but it gives me satisfaction to know that i can help them by providing information in a timely manner. >> it's a huge asset for our department and for the city as a whole. he oversees our i.t. infrastructure and it's our scheduling system and reports and he's the unsung hero. without a uniform he's my hero in that he does so much for everyone in the san francisco fire department going from a carbon paper department to all the technology that we embrace now is in large part due to jesus' innovatio

we have to prevent people from losing their homes and we're doing such great work as a city, when youhink about the move assistance programs, the eviction prevention programs and the grants we have that remove barriers to housing. we're doing that work here in san francisco. in the unfortunate circumstances where people do lose their homes, we have to pursue measures that are successful and proven here in the city of san francisco. such as our homeward bound and navigation centers, truly working to save the lives of people on the streets every day. these centers are a crucial part of the program in san francisco, compassion. but commonsense in addressing homelessness. we cannot allow our residents, those that are living on our streets to live in unsanitary, inhumane tent encampments. nobody is getting better sleeping in a tent at night. we have to do everything we can to get people off the streets and into better lives. since our first navigation center opened, we have taken 2000 people off the streets. with the help of this funding, we're going to open two new navigation centers that

today, represents a huge step in the right direction with the what the city is doing to work and solve issues. mental illness encompasses so many things, conservativeship is not the only solution. we do so much here in the san francisco. those with challenges need our help as a city. we have worked over the years and partnership with mayor lee and his team, first we passed laura's law a number of years ago here in the san francisco with the help of barbara garcia. we have a place where they can go and receive the help they need. but conservatorship is a huge part of the solution and today's celebration is a huge step forward for the san francisco. we are doing things like opening up new beds and places for people to go when they need to come off the streets. we're partnering with other groups and people in sacramento like senator weiner. also, the integrated agency team where we focus as a city, multiple different departments under the 40 most people on our streets, those are the frequent flyers through our health system, our ambulances and police and fire departments, through our hosp

i want to thank the giants for investing in this project, for working with the city, for working with the port. elaine, you're an amazing leader and i've got to thank kimberley brandon and the members of the port commission who spent countless hours listening to public comment, arguing over the details, getting the criticism and look at what we have here today. an amazing project that is doing something we need to do all over the city and county of san francisco. provide 40% affordable housing for low, moderate income families in san francisco. how exciting is that? people who make up to 150% ami. when we think about it, that's a lot of money and it's not a lot of money here in san francisco. those families still can't afford market rate housing in san francisco. it includes some of the city employees. some of the ballpark workers. i want to see the ballpark workers walking across from their housing in that parking lot into the ballpark. is that a promise? yes. the members of local 2 and the folks who make san francisco such a great place. this is a wonderful day, i'm excited and grat

work. we as a city need to come together to work together to move the results forward and be successful. and really, achieve the promise that we've made to our citizens and residents. i do want to note that dcyf is committed to ensuring access to the opportunities for all of the children. while we provide funding for a wide range of children, we also acknowledge there are segments of our community that needs additional support and we have made that commitment to increase funding for our spanish speaking communities, our african-american communities, our pacific islander communities and our low-income asian communities because we believe if we continue to invest more in supporting all of our high need children and families, we will lift everyone up and make san francisco a success story for all of our families in our city. with that, i just want to emphasize that we really value and honor the partnership that we have with first 5 and with the office of early care and education. we are continuing to work together, but we would although love to continue to work together in a robust way. tha

city is about. we have people working every day in our city doing historic work who don't get recognized while those of us up here get a lot of recognition, but what we do is irrelevant if we don't have the type of leadership and calm, quiet professionalism and brilliance to make those things that we aspire to have happen actually happen. so thank you, cynthia. thank you. [ applause ] >> thank you very much. thank you. thank you, supervisor peskin for this recognition and supervisor sheehy and also my thanks to board of appeals commissioner honda and his daughter who suggested this to you. my decision to retire certainly has me looking forward, but it also has me looking back. i never expected to work for a city government for the majority of my professional life. but coming here and finding the unique and meaningful work opportunities and also the smart and dedicated colleagues that i've met has really made it easy for me to be here for the past three decades. as a government, as supervisor sheehy said, san francisco often leads the nation with the status quo and tries to improve the lives of peopl

work will be taking place. it's located up at 3rd and evans. it's the city's workhorse plant. as the supervisor said, it was built in the '50s but was really using 1940s technology. this is treating 80% of our waste watter in san francisco, working 24/7. there's not a square inch to move around the site. it's surrounded by residences and businesses to the east and cal tr caltrans to the west. each will have their own contractor and objectives and will be occupying a designated space at the plant. this plant will be operational. it will still have to serve the needs of the city, meeting its permit. needless to say, that's the importance of this project. that's where the management contract comes in. i want to show you a timeline of what those nine contracts look like if we look at a schedule. the red line represent where is we are today. the green bars show the construction durations. very shortly, in this very calendar year, the two biggest contracts will be starting up. we'll have nine contracts going on simultaneously. this next slide shows the locations at the plant that wil

department of justice abandoned its work with the city of san francisco, right away mayor lee and i were in conversation. and i just got to say to ed lee, we miss you, but we're here doing your work. this is a product of what ed lee wanted to see happen and i think it's important for us as leaders here from the city and county of san francisco, the leader of the police department here and certainly the city mayor to say on behalf of all us, we all owe ed lee a great deal of gratitude for always putting the people of san francisco first. [applause] he said something very important when he began this, to help families in san francisco, our men and women in uniform, believe there could be confidence and trust to do the best job. he said, fair and just policing that treats everyone the same and places the sanctity of life above all else was important. i think today, that's our mission. those of you who reached out and have been reaching out to help all of us come together so that families throughout the state, certain here in san francisco, can feel confident about the work that is being don

city. the mural will be featured work at sf moma. it's a collaboration between two great san francisco institutions both founded in 1935. upon return from this multi-year loan, we plan to restore the masterpiece in the center at city college. it is imperative that the center design is uncompromised by lack of parking space so this mural, which could last hundreds of years has a permanent home to showcase for san franciscoens. i invite the board members to visit the treasure to see what the stakes are. thank you. >> uh-thank you. next speaker, please. anne, that you? okay. mitsy, john, fred. >> i returned to san francisco in 1971. i got my first job at city college teaching vocational nursing. i started teaching full time in '85. i have luckily been able to retire. in all these years, i drove a car because of the need to have my students in numbers of locations. i also took public transit. over these years, the transit has been totally inadequate for the ocean campus. i wouldn't speak to any of the others. the parking situation has onl

and returning to work sooner and they don't feel well-supported at work. >> we started out by having legislation to mandate that all cityices and departments have accommodations for mothers to return to work and lactate. but this year we passed legislation for private companies to have lactation policies for all new moms returning to work. >> with the newcome -- accommodations, moms should have those to return back to work. >> what are legislation? >> we wanted to make it applicable to all, we created a set of standards that can be achievable by everyone. >> do you have a few minutes today to give us a quick tour. >> i would love to. let's go. >> this is such an inviting space. what makes this a lactation room? >> as legislation requires it has the minimum standards, a seat, a surface to place your breast on, a clean space that doesn't have toxic chemicals or storage or anything like that. and we have electricity, we have plenty of outlets for pumps, for fridge. the things that make it a little extra, the fridge is in the room. and the sink is in the room. our legislation does require a fridge and sink nearby but it's a

so i work in city hall. i have a ritual. every morning i come to work, i walk up the front stairs, and i'm greating t i'm greeting the statty ue of harvey milk. i pat him on the shoulder, and i go to work. i'm following in other people's foot steps, and i hope you consider renaming the airport. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. hello, miss johnson. >> good morning, supervisors. it's an honor to be here. first of all, supervisor sheehy is a cosponsor of this memorializing harvey, but i also want to tell you i was a native of district eight. it wasn't district eight them. i grew up in the castro, and so did my mother, father, and grandparents. i had the honor of knowing harvey before he was a supervisor, and he had the camera shop. i had five children, and a single parent, and he understood that kind of discrimination that i experienced and he had a great heart for that. and he encouraged me to become more involved with them, and call the san francisco day democratic club, which he was a president of. through that, i h

new york city, people work pretty much 24 hours a day in new york but maybe that could be thing of thegal as this new bill right to disconnect and can force new york city employers to stop contacting their workers after hours, the bill is based on a similar law in france, so would this actually work in big apple, joe, thank you so much for joining us this morning. >> good morning. heather: we saw lights, people hard at work in new york city, apparently there's this right to disconnect, we can bring it up for people at home so they can get an idea, basically it would be illegal for employers to contact employees after hours. >> right, managers would be punished if they continue to e-mail employers, let's start with a positive, france has law implemented and they are still number 7 in the world in terms of productivity of workers and i think there's a case to be made for some hourly workers, if you're someone paid for $10 an hour, $20 an hour and you're not being paid for those weekend hour that is you're putting in with e-mails, it's probably case, but as you saw in the picture, people
