i knew of anne before i knew anne cronenberg. not only have you done all that you have done in your city career over the last decades, but you got harvey milk elected. and i was five years old when you did that. >> oh, god. thanks, supervisor. >> sorry. but -- but the work that you all did on that campaign and the work that you did at that point in your career made it possible for every single queer supervisor who has been on this board since then to be there, and so i just, i want to thank you of course for all of your contributions to san francisco, but especially for that, everybody says, you know, i mean -- many people talk about what harvey would say about this or that thing, and most of us have absolutely no idea. you do. i don't. but i imagine he would be very, very proud of you. >> thank you. >> president cohen: supervisor fewer. >> supervisor fewer: yes, anne, i want to say thank you so much for keeping us safe here in san francisco and also the entire region. i also want to thank you in particular for everything you hav

staff and anne cronenberg's family who is all here. i would like to bring up some individuals representing pier 39. i wanted to recognize them on the skip the straw campaign on the occasion that we are going to be voting on final reading our plastic straw ban here in san francisco. and so we have sue le vin here from pier 39, kathy paver, sherry ends, and george jacobs. and i do know that taylor stafford, president and c.e.o. of pier 39 wanted to be here but could not make it. we wanted to recognize pier 39 today because they actually have started the skip the straw campaign ahead of our legislation here at the board of supervisors. more than 15 million guests come to pier 39 each year, so, as a city we really have that responsibility, or that opportunity to spread our message to visitors from all over the world and again, want to recognize pier 39 for seeing that opportunity and whether that is a message of love and acceptance of all or sustainability or stewardship and environment, that is something they have taken upon them now. so,

. >> supervisor cohen: we have ann cronenberg here to present on item 12. welcome. >> thank you, president cohen and supervisor fewers, and supervisor stefani. and it's a library t pleasure te before you. we did give the clerk a minor clarifying amendment to the res resolution which i believe that you have at the request of the city attorney's office and we have one whereas, the department of emergency management is authorized to execute the grants only if they are consistent with state and local law. as you know the last two years as we've had the issue of urban area security initiative funding that there has been some controversy and that goes back to the urban shield exercise that alameda county puts on each year. i'm happy to say that in the last year i sat on the urban shield task force which made recommendations to alameda county which were adopted in january and i think that everyone feels good about the direction that we're going. alameda county said that urban shield would no longer look or feel like it has in the past. so it will be substantially

i'm hava cronenberg.r yee, i think it's been about nine months since we were here, so i'm going to go through beliefly some of our current statistics about vision zero and the progress we've made on our current action trot gee. very high overview. i know we have a packed agenda, so i'm going to move quickly. we report to you, as well as our committee -- community and committee vision zero task force, which has been meeting quarterly quarterly. i know you've seen this slide, but this is our fatality report from 2017, which was our least deadly year in san francisco recorded history, with 20 fatalities. pedestrians of those fatalities were still overrepresented, so we have a downward trend. motorists still continue to be overrepresented, and bicyclists as well. just looking through midway through this current calendar year, we're continuing to trend lower on average, but we still have eight recorded fatalities this year. we're hoping to see a downward trend as the year continues. really important, and again

director cronenberg and chief hayes-white have been active with the fire chiefs and emergency managers across the state. in the state budget today there is $50 million that will be included in the new state budget to make the state aid system more solvent and to purchase 110 fire engines and $25 million in there to actually allow for the first time in california fire resources to be prepositioned ahead of high wind. and it will also allow us if we have extreme temperatures or extreme -- if we have advance notice of a hazard, then we can pre-request resources to be pre-staged here in san francisco. so it's a big change to the mutual aid system. and another effort that ann has been leading is earthquake early warning. and $15.75 million to expand the network of sensors and with the earthquake early warning. and on top of that money and the general fund budget, we have resubmitted an application for $2.75 million for earthquake early warning to protect our fire stations and our schools. u know brian strong has got some other projects that we'll touch on during his presentation under the h

i'd like to now bring up hava cronenberg, the program from the smtda who will start with a brief overview and go ahead and introduce the speakers as they come in from the -- in order of the presentation. >> thank you all, and thank you, supervisor yee for calling this hearing. we as a city, as a team of vision zero staff we really appreciate the opportunity to talk about the work we're doing and to give a real showcase to the efforts that we're making as well as to sort of highlight the critical issues that you have just raised. i'm go through quickly through my overview because i felt that you did an excellent job, speaking to all of my slides. so i'll be fairly quick. so some of you are new on this board so i'll do a refresher. which is in 2014, the city along with agents and our board of supervisors and mayor lee adopted vision zero as a policy to end the traffic fatalities in san francisco and to reduce our severe injuries. this is a picture of ninth and division, our new protected intersection. but supervisor yee has pointed out that this is a public health crisis. and just like any

but who would be unacceptable and one of the names was the one most of us ralliedaround was and cronenberg . and feinstein, how did she delay that? weeks and weeks, it was at least six weeks everybody's getting more and more anxious and what leaks out finally was einstein paying something about an , a nice young woman but she would show up at aboard woman meeting in leather pants. no leather inchambers . >> we have one quick question over here. we're going to have to wrap up afterwards. do you want to ask a question? >> i wonder if you could talk about harvey's military experience. >> yes, he told people he got a dishonorable discharge.a lot of people in the military when he did get dishonorable discharges, harvey was not one of them but i think he was making a political point. that is that homosexuals were which hunted out of the military in the 1950s , but he kind the point by saying that he was and that's not true. he became a lieutenant for a while stationed in san diego from 63 to 65 and he had a fine time in san diego.yet that wasn't true. >> i'd like to thank lillian faderman and cl
