city hall. october 17th, 1989 was an exciting day. the giants had made it to the world series for the first time since 1962. they were playing the oakland athletics. i was on my home to pick up hi son ivan and was going to take him to candlestick park and as the bus turned, it began to sway violently. i thought we had been in an accident and quickly realized there had been an earthquake. later that evening, my brother, mark, arrived with juliette. the world series game had been canceled and ivan, mark and i drove across town. people had taken it upon themselves to direct traffic through major intersections like garry that was uncontrolled when the loss of power shut down the street lights. coming upon the marina, we saw an extraordinary spectacle, emergency personnel and citizens were frantically engaged in a fight to save the district and many people strolled taking in the spectacle as if they were at the boardwalk and others were wandering about apparently unable to grasp what was handling. my

what we call city hall away from your city, town or village in america. the national league of cities is an organization that represents 19,000 city, towns and for being here because we're releasing the 34th annual city fiscal conditions report. each person in this room is here for a reason. you're interested in what is happening in cities all over america. perhaps you enjoy digging into data and understanding the fiscal nature of the data on our communities. you really want to hear about the pressures city leaders face every day in balancing their budget, dealing with issues, the various policy issues and the federal impact on those issues. or you just want to make sure that you're in the right place at the right time dealing with and learning about what america will be dealing with as it relates to the fiscal impact of our economy. for all of these reasons at its core, the city fiscal conditions is about the connection between the needs of communities and the ability of local government leaders to address those needs in the communities. i'm often asked,

i'm so proud of our city that we were able to come together, come together as a unified city, on reallyhat is one of the hardest issues out there. i have gone up and down the state to see what are the best practices of solving mental health. while many of them are here in san francisco, it's very clear if you look at our city. we're not doing enough. we're not doing it in the most efficient or radical or thoughtful way. oftentimes it's something that people ask you or people commonly talk about. when we talk about many of the problems, we all say mental health is one of the major issues. well, until today, we hadn't really been putting it forward in the most bold way. this is saying that not only is mental health one of the major issues, it is one of the major issues for our city. this is us coming together and saying that we are all going to work on this together and we know this is not an easy problem to solve. this is the easy part. we know that dr. colfax has the hardest part because he is going to have to deliver on what we are discussing. let us own this together and come together

city sources of that are $15 million. if you look at the sources it includes some bond money $5 million and $5 million in the proceeds from the certificate of participation for the project. then some other general fund moneys added to this. the total grant amount to the nonprofit is $13.4 million. we again have the entire project cost and funding sources here. we recommend approval of those three-pieces of legislation. item 14 is a loan agreement between the mayor's office of housing and 10464 mission for $74 million to provide vinancin towards the support of housing component of the project at 1064-1068 mission. again, we have a project budget on table 1, page 32, of the report showing the entire project cost of $143 million, which includes alone from the mayor's office of $74 million and $69 million in other non-city sources. the issuance of the certificate of participation are within city policy and we recommend approval. >> thank you very much. we open it up for public comment. any members of the public want to commen

i do prep through city clinic. you know i get my tests read here regularly and i highly recommend prep >> a lot of patients inclined to think that there's no way they could afford to pay for prep. we really encourage people to come in and talk to one of our prep navigators. we find that we can help almost everyone find a way to access prep so it's affordable for them. >> if you times we do have opponents would be on thursday morning. we have two different clinics going on at that time. when is women's health services. people can make an appointment either by calling them a dropping in or emailing us for that. we also have an hiv care clinic that happens on that morning as well also by appointment only. he was city clinic has been like home to me. i been coming here since 2011. my name iskim troy, client of city clinic. when i first learned i was hiv positive i do not know what it was. i felt my life would be just ending there but all the support they gave me and all the information i need to know was very helpful.

by the city taking a lead in integrating these in different areas in the city, they serve as tetsing beds for which species work the best in which microclimates for our city. we can then share this with our private sector development partners. we've been inspired about work in los angeles about incorporating native plants and healthy landscapes into our affordable housing areas. equity is a huge focus of this work and how do we get landing scape -- landscaping and the right type of that into our environments. this is important to us and we're excited to dig into that. also city-owned land as well as private-sector projects, we're taking a look at all our current codes and thinking about how can we require more greening and the right types of greening and how can we provide really clear tools, so that as one of your constituents gets an infraction because they've paved over their front yard and they need to have half of that front yard be permeable and 25% be landscaped. this is a picture of a golf course where we have a lot of areas in and around where we need people to stand and wal

immigrants that had moved from the south to northern cities. south to northern cities. middle-class homeowners and consumers and so forth that kind of history is generally referred to as history from the bottom up. you might wonder why i had written a biography about a powerful white male city builder i first decided that i wanted to write a book about a world war ii city. i wanted to to grapple with the changing physical building environment as well as how those changes came about. as i put it in the book's introduction, i aim to understand who is in charge, who should have a say, do benefits and who pays the bills. i determined that focusing on the life of somebody that is personally engaged with the struggle for revitalized postwar american cities, in a period where post-massive irby out was woman, would be a promising way to frame this book and engage readers, i hope, and what i thought was thought was a very important story. i consequently became attracted to this new challenge of putting an individual with power at the center of my book. i was writing history from

city. trees are no everywhere and we steward other lands in the city which are remnants of san francisco's natural ecosystem, such as bernell hill. and so, indeed, urban forestry and ecological restoration and all of these activities of managing plants, managing trees and planting new trees, all important aspects of our city's climate action strategy and so, withizero, 80, 100 roots, roots symbolizes climate mitigation and adaptation. and so the other thing i wanted to say about that was just simply, obviously, trees and other plants store and sequester carbon and, in fact, these are three trees other than streets that do a good job of that and this is one of the, you know, main services that trees provide within the city is storing and sequestering carbon but there are many other services that trees provide. i'll just go over those one by one. even supervisor mar covered this presentation already. so obviously great for mitigating the heat island effect that cities create with our concrete

ico atlantic city in $1000.00 is one such multi-billion dollar project a modern showcase city designed to ease the load in lagos but it's causing other problems the costs are astronomical most people won't be able to afford to live here critics fear that small cities like this one will become residences for the country use elite. of a more i'm john paston tasini a country economist and manager of the cities that work initiative at the international press center in kampala good to have you with us so we hear that the science cities are quite expensive if they're that expensive to be developed who are the investors so i think there's 3 main sources of investors particular when you talk about sort of african and new cities one is very much the state model or the state to state funding model here for example china is playing a very large role the 2nd are public private partnerships between private companies in the state but the 3rd and the most most of the cities are being financed privately and actually here the big question is coming from real estate investors and and and technology comp

and city. we talked about the members. there's two additional agencies that have joined as of 2017. that's when we sought director of human resources and workforce advisory committee. i think in conversation, had a question from supervisor walton, had vacancies in the committees. we would wait for the direction from the board, and in the case of the c.a.c. are board appointees or the mayor appointees on the community advisory committee. and if we can hold on just for one second, i want to make sure we identify our community developers. self-help for the elderly, bayview-hunters point center for arts and technology, and episcopal community services, among others. lastly is just a quick rundown of the policy recommendations that have been developed and reported out by the committee over the past several years. we've talked about the need for the work to continue both at the alignment committee and the workforce c.a.c. because it's just now in the report that we've finalized to the board a set of

a drastic divide has developed between cities that are foraging and cities that are failing. we have and have not among cities not only within them. so i wondered, how did we get here? i also wondered where were the resources that once made the u.s. a country highly functional mass transit, that has a significant here i think. up-to-date roads, bridges and tunnels. where was the commitment that led the nation to at least a third in the housing act of 19 1949, irresponsibility to provide decent home and living environment for every american family. might there not be something to learn from how we got to this place? i started looking around for an ideal subject for my book and i had checklist but most importantly, i thought an individual whose life would allow me to tell to intertwined stories, both how a person and a nation went about trying to idolize american cities and the mutual influence they have on each other and on american cities. it didn't take me long to stumble upon ed. he had a great influence during the 1960s and turning around a long deteriorating boston. soon

the city and discover leone's inside those spots. but locals also benefit it's something that is very important to us because. actually there are people leaving and so. to. try to picture to the public but also to preserve the body. you have. some works as well. another part of smart your ease your wit these digital signs can rotate 360 degrees and share up to date information for instance on festivals visitors can connect to each smartphone and be guided to the events or train stations especially useful for those without cars other bikes available for rent at various points around the city also by of course. the concept of leone is to give visitors a guided excursion through the city by bike instead of i told us. we want to discuss and to make this go over the city. respecting the minds you want to visit silently. smog tourism is designed to make a city more pleasant for those visiting it and that those who need it. is clear that digitalization is fundamentally changing travel the reality check we can see the world's most beautiful

in 2019, the controller city survey found that a majority of residents said the city is moving in the wrong direction. the mayor's initial -- initiative is going in the wrong direction perform the occupant of room 200 should be the mayor of san francisco, not the mayor of wrong directions. thank you. [bell dings] >> supervisor ronen: next speaker. >> hi. rick hall from hill. a member of the cultural action network and president of liveable california, speaking for myself and for the mission district, where we work to oppose anti-gentrification that's going on. we speak about supply and demand. and we never addressed the demand side. but we know we're overbuilt on market-rate housing. and way underbuilt on moderate and low-income housing. you know, we're essentially in a hole. and we do not need to -- the mayor's initiative to accelerate office development and exacerbate all of our city problems. office -- the people put prop min place. now it's just about to kick in, the mayor is undercutting it to accelerate high-end office production. no matter what it says about, well, it's going t

in to save america's city. and then the public sector must control it. >> he was early in his career believing to have larger social and political benefits and discovered this in a surprising way. serving a special assistant and then was a new dealer from teddy roosevelt from the administration to observe the us government to invest what was called community development to improve the infrastructure rivers and wells and housing in hopes of creating a more equal and democratic and importantly to them the communist india. then what was called the third world in american cities that's not what we assume with influence and this is the first example how they learned and the transnational circulation with planning and architecture. he learned many things and very much influenced taking place in europe and later taken with the creation of european new towns with a strategy that followed world war ii in many european countries. and upon returning in 1953 he began a career in urban we development to unfold over four dec

that's all up to the city city. they are designations that are putting these areas eligible for different kinds of grant programs whether in priority preservation areas grant programs to do environmental protection, doing rest vacation. >> sure. >> or even property recquisition, we can designate private property. >> one more question. we couldn't withdraw the mission from -- we couldn't down zone umu and say it's now pdr. >> that's unrelated to these designations. sb330 issue that's not related to these designations. >> thank you. >> thank you. director ram did you want to chime in. >> i want to remind everyone there's been a lot of discussion over this table over the last two years about the west side doing its part. and many members of the commission have said that very thing. i would remind you the west side supervisors have actually put money in a their budgets to the planning department to start doing planning work on the west side. so the very thing this will allow us to do is complement those funds to look at

not everywhere in the city, but in the central part of the city they do. they pay early care and education commercial rent tax and they pay other fees. if you look at the left-hand pie, you will see the total cost of building new office space in the city, the city sees about 25% of what it costs. the rest of it being obviously the physical cost of construction and things like that. to do this study, we work with a couple of consulting firms. we work to develop six prototypes that would be representative of office space being built in central soma, where we are seeing most of the office development. we constructed a financial model for each prototype which just looks at estimating all of the cost of building the office estimating the revenues which is basically the rents that the developers are going to get. and then looking at what the return would be to the developer. the rule of thumb here is that you would need a yield of about 6.8% per year to make the sources that the developers go to for their money, pension funds, other sorts of capital forces. for

resilient, and that is what child friendly cities are all about, a city designed with children and youth in mind is a city that is sustainable and safer for all residents. last year, i attended the child safer city conference in vienna, austria, and heard about all the wonderful things cities like san francisco were doing all over the world. but what i found so fascinating is that cities were reimagining public spaces to be playful, imagin imagi imaginative and accessible to children of all ages. can we imagine what san francisco would be like if we placed children at the center of all the decisions that we'd be making, influencing the build environment around us. imagine every city street where a children could bike and walk on their own to school without fear of being hurt in a dangerous environment. imagine every new housing unit being designed so that families of all types to could expand multigenerational units that accommodated children, growing teens, and parents who are care giving. imagine public space being inviting to children so they could actively and creatively explore beyo

city and to its residents. involved a variety of planning fat and it's other departments like mayor of housing, community development, dbi and last but not east the city attorney's office which has been instrumental in getting us this position we have today. we con be here without the hard work the city attorney's office and kristen jensen who is here with us. andrew perry has been instrumental in getting us to this point and getting these projects approvals before you and for the planning commission tomorrow. it's no small feat to comprehensively review one project but have multiple dozens of properties is truly a feat so i appreciate his endless hours and tireless efforts to get us to this point. for preservation support, katie and alex provided tremendous support to our department and will present to you today. andrew will be presenting on the details of the development agreement and katie will present on the permit to alter and alex on the certificate of appropriateness. that's all i have for you but i'll p

does it come from the city? >> yes. >> and if you want a more comprehensive answer, maria can answer that for you but yes, it comes from the city. >> ok. >> i'm trying to wonder why the city doesn't do it directly or do more of it? >> maria benjamin. it does come from the city, there's a limited amount, it's really expensive rental subsidiaries. you know, because they're on going for as long as a person is living in the unit. and there are -- there's been work done to review and figure out other funding sources for more rental subsidiaries and i don't have anything real to tell you right now about it but we know that there's a need for more long-term rental subsidiaries. >> without the laboring, the point i thought that the tipping point and some other private sector actors that are doing charitable types of ventures that rent subsidiaries could be or would be parts of their programming, does that make sense? >> again -- >> if you put it out maybe you will happen and someone is listening. so then, my last, i kno

the founders, the leaders, and the family stood here at city hall calling out for support from our city officials and allies to end the genocide of transgender women. this coalition assembled here for a dianne on february 10th, 2015. leaders such as genitive jackson , the executive director of transgender -- [calling names] [calling names] -- just to name a few, sit in solidarity for all of our fallen sisters. that demonstration still resonates today. since then, the coalition has dedicated the mission in addressing systems of oppression , but not only calling out to those who perpetuate acts of violence, vertebral, emotional, and/or physical, but we hold them accountable. the vision of this coalition is safety for trans women in a world free of prison industrial complex and state violence. currently, project coalition has taken responsibility in providing training to housing service providers. we are aware that 70% of trans people in shelters experience harassment, one out of two trans people are homeless, and that trans people are 18 times more likely to experience homelessness. last

the american cities climate challenge as part of the american cities initiative. a suite of investments that empowers cities to generate innovation and advanced policy that moves the nation forward. this was a very intense trip. we literally spent basically every day up until about 7:00 p.m. learning about congestion price in both england and stockholm. just to give some of my takeaways. if you look at london which is a city of 8.8 million people. the purpose of instituting the congestion pricing was really about congestion and environmental impacts. they had a robust rail system and they really were supported by business community as they decided to embark on congestion pricing. they have been instituting this price since 2,003. i would say from their perspective, it was considered successful in reducing congestion in the early years and now they are working on making some changes as people have gotten used to the pricing. the congestion is increasing again in london. they are looking at evaluating their current system trying to see what they could do different.

our educators in the city. and also eliminating the conditional-use authorizational process for 100% affordable housing and educator housing projects. and requiring the projects be approved within a strict timeline. so our office began working on this legislation early this year, in order to make it easier to build affordable housing in outer neighborhoods like the richmond, that have seen little investment in affordable housing. it actually really builds out of the success of the sali legislation, which i'm you're familiar with, that former supervisor jane kim passed last year, in order to make it principally permitted to build affordable housing in service, arts and industrial districts. we also worked closely with the united educators of san francisco, in order to develop a pilot program for educator housing that would serve the needs of educators in san francisco across a wide range of both income levels and household sizes on land, that is owned by either the school district or the city college district. w

he cared about this city. he cared about the people of this city.e cared about doing good things for san francisco. when i first sat down with him as supervisor and told him that public housing was my priority, of course we bonded over our shared experience of growing up in public housing. he said, yes, we will work to make the condition of residents and public housing better. i will tell you since i've been mayor, we've been going to a lot of those public housing developments where the promises of our city have been fulfilled and the conditions have changed significantly. it's because of his leadership and his work and his love and care for people. [ applause ]. >> mayor breed: his work for our public school system and our children, his work for public safety and for making sure that we are a city that focuses on making the right decisions, especially for future generations. you know, most mayors wouldn't say this, but since i've been mayor, i am really a beneficiary of all of his hard work. so when i go and i do those ribbon cuttings. when i go an

caucus, what is it and how do you envision smart city? >> we decided to establish a bipartisan smart city -- we knew that already technology is a major part of our lives. it's a utility we can use to make sure that we are economically feasible going into the future and that we are deficient in our use of energy and it enables our society to be far more productive than our 20th century industrial age so we are looking at the fact that so much of what already exists in society is connected and what are smart cities caucus does is it looks at four different areas of how communities are connected. one is connectivity and the other principal being sustainability and the other being mobility and then the workforce. how all of those components work together to make sure that in the 21st century our civil society is given the opportunity to reach its full potential utilizing the technological advantages that we have had in this age. >> your first to it as a utility and do you see it as a utility like plumbing or electricity and streets? >> guest:

i have a city drive candidate to speak on behalf of city drive. >> it is an honor. i am emotionally devastated. my husband and i both lost our jobs. then the mayor came and spoke to us, and she put in some help for us. we received help from owd, faces sf to apply to muni. we were taught classes for license. ithey drove us at 5:00 in the morning for the test. i felt the support from the mayor. she took the time and effort to help us in time of need. as a result, currently i drive a trolley coach in san francisco and i am loving it. (applause). >> from one loving family to another, thank you very much. [applause.] >> muni is hiring still so good job, good benefits, good retirement and part of what we will do is help support you throughout the city drive academy, right? we also know that sometimes the challenge with people going through these programs is they can't afford to participate in the program. that is something that we are trying to change so that money is never a barrier to an opportunity that can help change your life. as someone who basically came from a co

amending chapter 19b of the administrative code, governing the city's acquisition, retention, and use of surveillance technology to allow the acquisition and retention of face recognition technology. >> anybody in the north light court, we do have open seats in the committee room. >> now please come forward. >> thank you chair ronen, committee members for hearing this item this morning. this item is a little piece of clean up legislation following legislation that we passed earlier this year at the board of supervisors to create surveillance use policies, for all surveillance used by city departments and relevant to the department. the amendment before you acknowledges the prospects that we have under taken since passing that legislation in the course of implementing this we learned that various city issued devices actually have -- excuse me, the amendment today essentially provides that the city may retain that use that technology, provided they do not use the face recognition function. we see this consistent to the spirit of the regulation passed earlier. it maintains the ban on the

now it's going to be the law, the law of the city. that is what it should have always been and that's what it finally will be and i could not be more excited and more proud to be supporting and be a sponsor of this legislation. thank you so much supervisor walton for bringing it forward. if there are no more comments from my colleagues, we will open -- sorry mr. miller. >> i just wanted public comments for our residents. >> that was what i was about to say, we're going to open this item up for public comment. anyone who likes to speak, feel free to line up to this side of the room. every speaker will have 2 minutes to speak. thank you very much. good morning. >> good morning supervisors. i didn't come here today to speak on this item, but now that i'm here, i i'm a resident from engleside and i want to know if this legislation has anything or mechanism that brings back the first gentrification of those from engleside. you speak of other areas, hunters point, visitation valley, army street, but you forget engleside, we don't have a bun

the trees recommended by our own city department by the city's bureau of urban forestry due to grout tolerance, strong branch structure and low maintenance requirements. fruitless olive trees are very neat trees and they do not drop debris or fruit and they will be installed at a 24-inch box size meeting the borough of urban requirements. installed in front of laurel village improvement project, creating what i think will be a beautiful long tree canopy on the length of california street. i also want to address the 18 significant trees that were described. as defined -- i don't need to get into the definition. it's located within ten feet of the property edge of the situation and 25 feet in high with a canopy 15 in diameter or trunk diameter in 12-inches at breast height. of 18 significant trees, only one this good health and that one tree is located directly in the middle of the parcel where 186 affordable senior homes will be built and there will be childcare services. they propose replacing this with 49 new trees and the replacement tree list includes the species we heard about. s

with city college. that encompassed training and work experience through the sffd, and that transferred into city college course curriculum and resulted in actual city college course credits for people going through the program. but this was a one-year pilot program as the arrangement we had with city college, although it was a plan we had discussed for years and years, but we never had a plan until this last year to move forward. we were very pleased with how it's worked out so far. the january 19 and current academy that began in october were the first two programs that went through this pilot program. we've enjoyed our relationship with city college. as a result, both parties are looking at expanding the scope and agreement going forward. the m.o.u. before you is a five-year agreement to enter into a contract with city college. we're working with city college to expand the scope to a variety of other training and other different courses, and that can be added at a later date being an addendum. the de

so mumbai city arejoining the manchester city stable that includes melbourne city, new york city, girona me earlier from mumbai, the former ipswich and england defender works as an analyst on coverage of the indian super league. football is big here. it will never be as big as cricket, but the premier league is always on the television here. to be honest, it's actually brilliant that manchester city fc fit that they should take on somebody like mumbai city fc, and promote them as much as they can. it will do wonders for youth football over here, as well, with the access that manchester will give the academy of mumbai city. help with the players, the education, and i can honestly see everyone benefiting ina can honestly see everyone benefiting in a massive waste up what you say that cricket is king in india. but if you go down the street and you spot for in football tops, are there lots of real madrid tops, juventus? how well—known is manchester city fc within india? i think it is very well—known. you won't see a of lads chasing around mumbai wearing football shirts. you must remember it

we put up eyes all over the city. i think with street violence intervention we need to look forward to the future for us, 15, 20 years down the line from now. with the help of the supervisors that can be accomplished. we need this. our young men and ladies need the love, guidance and support they don't get at home, the meal they don't get at home and the extra talk. i thank you in every way. god bless you. i love you. thank you. >> thank you. lastly, we have supervisor haney. please share your accommodation. >> thank you, president yee. it is still filipino american history month. it is the last few days here. i am very proud to present a commendation to two people who are committed to preserving and elevating the filipino community in our city. the master mind behind the undiscovered san francisco creative night market and two of the most hardworking people i know. they produced undiscovered as a collaboration between cultivate labs and make it merry in partnership with the filipino cultural district. the concept is

saving half the city from simultaneous cities. this is not a matter for debate. the city made a commitment to preserve the sea wall for saving the east side from sea-level rise and the west side deserves no less assurance being saving with a dedicated water source and delivery system. this is a good start to keep the board involved in monitoring the actions of city leaders who are charged with protecting the lives, property and resilience of the city of san francisco. but it does not go far enough or fast enough. the state of urgency must include additional hearings on one pg skepticism e power shut arches. what are the back-ups in place and for how long will they have fuel to function? >> i'm near full support of firefighting water capabilities. i would like to thank supervisor marr for sponsoring this legislation. i fully support this to have the budget and legislative an analys provide an analysis of the capabilities. this refers to high pressure throughout the bill, it own references high volume in specific areas and i would u

instead of taking meaningful steps in the city. in joining me now from delhi is a correspondent. from today the government has started to ski most often even numbers for cars what kind of impact is this likely to have. that this is the one and ingestion will definitely be the door but if the fall all the audience you move lamentation of anything to go by then you'll have may not be so good unfortunately the impact on actual levels of pollution that was seen in the pocket of the audi when he was not by the high congestion was low because the rich on particular sports the of the small the pollution may have been low but overall it did not have a dramatic impact on the pollution levels in the city and one of the reasons may well be the government of danny has continually pointed out that the impact of the stop of money from the neighboring states is still unabated it continues to engulf the city and this is why the city has to hide the dust levels of toxic create smoke and what it entirely over the last few days and yet let me shift b

through the city. so we have learned from other localities and metro regions with a gu it on right and wrongn our case we are betting big and we are embracing it. we are putting all the blocks around where the stations are going to be going so that when this thing comes online we are able to tap into that so we are doing a lot of mixed use at this point where we satisfy the need for increased residential space and at the same time having to ensure it creates the sales tax as well and we don't realize that when it's just housing. also because of the investment we are doing and the fact we are out there clothing business to come into our city, we are seeing a lot of interest right now from developers more so than i would say the city is around us and it's pretty unique and exciting for us. something we haven't experienced for a while but the stability in government that we have in our staff, the training we've done with our staff and the economic development ensure that they go out there and have the rig
