i'm philip vitale, and i've been working in the bayview-hunters point since the early 2000s. just a few years ago we worked with the community and rec and park to renovate hill top park and playground up the hill and we've been working closely with the india basin community with an ideas competition, the waterfront study, the concept design, all of which led to a community driven vision for these parks. we're excited to see these grants come along which will bring this vision to life. the community is excited to see the impacts of the design. nicolle mentioned this is going to be a world class park for a community that's been underserves f underserved for several decades, and we're excited to see these grants. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. next speaker? >> good morning to the board, staff, audience. my name is uriel hernandez. i work for the san francisco parks alliance. we are the largest nonprofit organization serving san francisco's diverse city parks and open spaces. we partner with 200 city parks and open spaces in the city and are also partnering with the rec and

scott had one. >> just with all gratitude, to five point and lenar and bayview hunters point shipyard, c.a.c. for all your eyes and ears and hands moving with them along the way. i cannot thank you enough. i appreciate you all so much the care and concern and how you've been so inclusive with the community. i'm just so proud of you. proud to be a part of you but proud of how you're moving on. one of the questions i have in light of the structure the millennium tower sinking, had you thought of anything like that to make sure there are preventive measures? i see you get the wind factor and i'm so pleased. that was one of my questions. i too like mr. james, grew up in that community in the '50s. i know that area very well and how the weather goes. so i see you looked at that. i didn't hear anything about the structure of thinking about because it is landfill, the sinking of the building. have you done measures for that? i want it hear more about that. >> i appreciate the question. we're happy to have our structural engineer and i'll recognize nick and hardiv. they've done numerous high-

the excelsior, the outer mission , the sunset, bayview hunter's point, these are parts of the city thate didn't think would ever be under assault in terms of major gentrification. but when homes in my district and excelsior go for $1.9 million, this city is no longer affordable. so the fact that we are putting legislation forward that not only expands the definition of what is affordable to include working and middle-class families, but speeds up the process, in two years, the cost of construction has gone up by 30%. every moment that we wait costs these projects more money, cost the taxpayers more money, and endangers losing more working and middle-class families from san francisco because they have to leave, the can't live in the city, the can't access the affordable housing. i'm just go to wrap it up by saying we have neighborhood preference that mayor breed fought for, we accelerating the process by which we can go through the bureaucracy, we are increasing the funding, whether it is through additional surplus money we have, or the affordable housing bonds that we are going to fight

the youth are from bayview-hunters point. it seems where we should look is in the communities in which the children are raised. where do the families river? why are the youth so disproportionately affected by the need for service they have to be engaged in the safety of juvenile hall. keeping them with families. why have the schools not identified the youth absent from school to keep families and children together. why would the san francisco board of supervisors the only large urban city take away the last hope, last safe place and last chance for san francisco's most fragile and valuable children. >> once again please be sure you are following board rule 1.3 prohibition against applause in the chamber. next speaker. >> i was formerly incarsservated with juvenile hall. i was in and out since age 15. i got sent up to if ranch, a program closed down. i was there when it was closed down. i have been out not too long now. i will get to the point if you think that taking the punishment and taking the punishment out of it, kids wi

a major goal of this component is ensuring that the bayview-hunters point proud history is reflected in the art and cultural programming in india basin program. the overall india basin project budget including acquisition, community engagement, planning, design, land and water he remediation work is approximately $120 million. this is similar in cost, scope, and scale to the tunnel top park being constructed in the presidio and significantly less than the cost of similar waterfront park projects in new york, seattle, and los angeles. it's proposed to be funded through a mix of local, private, public, state, and federal sources. on that note, i'm very pleased to be presented to you today a grant of $25 million from the john pritzker fund to fund the india basin park project. this has been cultivated over two years. funding will be used to support the following: remediation, the equitiable park development plan and interim activation, schematics, and construction. the gift will be made to the department for remediation and construction, to the trust for public land who will manage the

we're adding funding for our career training facility upgrade in the bayview hunter's point at 1400 evans. we propose to the board of trustees last time that we would take $27 million in proposed bond funding to ren foe renovate evans campus at bayvie bayview s point. we're offering more programmes with the city and that wonderful programme that's been going on for over ten years and for career training programmes for middle-class jobs. middle-class jobs are not just a slogan. 1*bs. our airport campus is full to the brim if a fairly full facility and we train aircraft trans ministertransmissions to m and when he come out, they will come out with a job that pays $100,000 a year. so those are the programme we're adding. we is an important campus that's in the heart of our social justice surface and right in the heart of the ter tenderloin andt has been closed five years because of a need for a seismic retrofit. we recommended to the board we reopen it and we have secured funds from the state to reopen the tenderloin campus and to actually expand our service in that area. transitional studie

nestled in between bayview hunters point, vicitation valley, and bernal heights. retiree of the san francisco assessor's office. i was a candidate for democratic county central committee in 19 -- i think it was 1992, the original year of the woman, but i was gender-impaired. i was proud to have received the unanimous endorsement of the cadc, the chinese-american democratic club. i received 20 votes of 20 voting members. i am currently an employee of the department of public health, jail behavioral health services on medical leave. i recently was housed in 730 broadway between stockton and powell street. it's a wonderful residence and beautiful building managed by mr. de la rose, san tino, a wonderful man. i have been threatened three times with mace by a drag queen known as stephen schwartz who is under f.b.i. investigation. i had the feeling a couple of days ago i should take a long walk through chinatown, waverley place, portsmouth square, gateway to chinatown, tenderloin, i returned to my room to find two prostitutes were there -- [bell ringing] >> president ye

sanchez and i'm for the restorative justice in oakland and i'm a san francisco native at the bayview hunter's point and i'm here in support of ab-392, changing the language from reasonable to necessary. we know that the police have the training and that they're actually getting funded to create more training so that they can be able to deescalate situations. we don't see how any police officer can justify putting in some cases up to like 9 99 bulls into somebody who is hiding or running away. i know that there is -- that this will also protect a lot of young people who are scared of police. i think somebody said earlier the relationship isn't one of trust. i have -- i'm raising children in san francisco and i have a teenaged son who at many times has been scared of police and so my fear as a mom and as a resident of san francisco that my kid one day will be scared and the police will deem it reasonable to fire shots into my son. and so i just urge you to please support this bill and yeah, thank you for all the work that you are doing and standing with families. thank you. >> thank you. , next

sadly, we knew in bayview-hunters point they have three times the average of the number of driver's licenses that have been suspended statewide. that is why san francisco was the first in the nation to stop suspended driver's licenses for failure to pay fines. [applause.] over two years ago, we were the first to top suspended driver's licenses for failure to appeer in traffic court. after we discovered the biggest reason people do not show up for traffic court date is because they cannot afford to pay the fees. people are also worried if they show up, they would be forced to give up their driver's license, and, sadly, some are afraid they might gee arrested. he on o get arrested. while we stopped the suspensions. we discovered 88,000 driver's licenses were still marked as suspended in the super-your court date take base. thousands of residents were unable to drive legally because they did not show up for traffic court date even though the super-your court no longer suspended licenses for this reason. when we looked into what it would take to lift those previous suspensions, we were told that

. >> i want to be clear on the tenderloin campus as with the bayview hunter's point campus, those campuses, that tenderloin is reopening, ok? we'll find a way. but what has happened is, that the state has granted -- the job is seismic retrofit is 64 million and that was already approved by the state and based on that, our board of trustees -- we're already in design on that and we have approved contracts for architects and engineers to design the retro fill. retrofit. there's an issue that the state has raised recently, that oh, we want matching funds for that, so that we would have to come up with half of it. so another reason to vote yes on the bond, but, you know, we're in negotiations with the state on trying to eliminate the matching fund. but we're moving ahead with the reopen of tenderloin regardless. we'll be able to find the money. >> so doing the work that's need toad reopen it will not be contingents on the bond or is, the facility's bond. >> it won't be o contingents on the bond. the bond would be helpful but if the state sticks to its guns saying you have to come up with 32 mi

doesn't make sense for the average person because the headline is -- which is great for the bayview hunter's point, but everything you just said does not make sense if you say we can stop it in one area of the system, unless that is not coordinated in to the entire overall system. how are you able to do that? >> what we have been -- just to answer the first part of your question, well i don't know how often other places are using it, i do know that our real system is unique in that it has a small subway section with a lot of trains, and a surface system that is in traffic and in all the delays. >> a minimized i minimized amount -- >> system maybe new york or boston where everything is in a protective right away, and even our own bart system where things are not competing with pedestrians, bikes, the day-to-day traffic. i think maybe it is not prone to the bunching. that is not to make an excuse because we do want to be using this tool less. switchbacks are a symptom, they are a symptom that the service is not as predictable and reliable as it needs to be, so part of how we are addressing it

it also went to the bayview hunter's point citizens advisory committee and received a recommendation for approval and endorsement from the c.a.c. on january 16th, 2019. as a project complies with the planning code and policies of the general plan, staff recommends approval. this concludes my presentation. i am available for any questions >> thank you. do we have a project sponsor? good evening. >> good afternoon, commissioners i am harvey hacker, i am the project architect. i don't have anything to add to mr. christianson's clear report, except to tell you that i have the building owner and the industrial agriculture tenant also here, so if you have questions for any of the three of us, we are prepared to answer them. heavy utility use versus the building department which they'll route it to p.u.c. for water and a couple of things on title 24 but not in terms of anything related to t.v. panels for solar because they use a lot of juice for these uses. >> we are use much more power and a lot more water. it's not something that we have regulations to rely on to impose conditions beyond

psychiatry at ucsf i came to work in the mission district as a staff psychiatrist i worked in bayview's hunterint where i did field-based psychiatry and school and public housing, i remember meeting parents at burger king in the western edition because they did not feel comfortable coming into the clinic and they did not feel comfortable me coming to their homes. i had those experiences that i held in my head. i worked at a c.b.o. in residential treatment and also in special programs for youth in juvenile hall for short period and also i covered a jail psychiatrist when they were low on psychiatry. i have worked all these different levels of care within my 20 plus years with the department, and i say this because i really want to let you know that first and foremost i am a clinician, and, though i am here to talk about the system and budget, our services are really about people. that we don't just treat numbers or diagnoses, but unique individuals. behavioral health services is the largest provider of mental health and substance use prevention, early intervention, treatment services in the cit

because i think as a look at the bayview hunter's point, it is turning into another fillmore. i have extreme resentment for those who come into our community, and from the city, they don't really give a damn about the southeast corner of san francisco. all of a sudden everybody cares about the south of san francisco let's face it. because of -- some say class, and some say race, so it is this notion that white legitimizes the neighborhood. those issues are very sensitive. i don't think they are bought -- brought to the forefront or they are knowledge, but i do think that would protect people in the fillmore and who have lived in the bayview, and lord knows where else that child lived, too she had a good sense of these issues that are of concern to me they would probably give san francisco more offices of community instead of us versus them and that kind of mentality. to him -- to me, that is going on in the bayview. there's a lot of resentment. >> thank you so much. if there is any other members of the public, line up to my left. if there is anybody else who wanted to speak. >

the waves coming over all of bayview hunter's point and flooding our financial district, and wiping out the ferry building and all of our public infrastructure. to me, this language, sealevel rise vulnerability, consequences , is very neutral. i want to be talking about an emergency and a catastrophe, and really what we're talking about here is a wiping out of our public infrastructure. i would like this department to be a leader in terms of what we are saying to the p.u.c., to our family in this city about what really we are looking at here. so i think the best plan for sealevel rise is for it not to happen. and what are we doing about that what are we doing with our housing and balance, and our transportation, and having the emissions of thousands of cars coming in over the bay bridge every day because people can't live here who work here? so to me, you know, this is good work. i know we have to prepare for it , but i want to see using appropriate language for the crisis that we are seeing coming we know it is coming. we know why it is coming, and i want us to be leaders in the field
