our focus should be on making sure that we as a city are providing also good information. know that there's been a lot of confusion with our small businesses and operations and whether or not they can operate indoors or outdoors, and so we as a city, and the confusion between the local information and the state information, we have to do a better responsibility of doing a better job around communication. so we can either focus and blaming and saying who should do what, but we have bigger issues as it relates to this country, and i have a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation for the hard work that nanny pelosi does every single day to take care of this city and this country. and that's what we should be focused on because we are dealing with very challenging times, and leadership does matter. i do understand that the industry is suffering, not only the hair industry, but the masseuses and the salons. i understand the frustration, and some businesses may not ever open again. i understand this is hard for everyone. the decisions that we're making around public health

our mayor for her tremendous support and leadership during this incredibly challenging time for our city, as well as supervisors peskin and haney, for their commitment to combating this problem. with that, i would like to introduce our mayor, london breed. >> mayor breed: good morning, everyone. thank you, all, so much for being here today. i want to begin by thanking dennis has rare kerrera and the attorney office to deal with one of the biggest challenges in the tenderloin community. not so long ago we set down a path to address what we saw as a significant increase in homelessness and tent encampments in the t.l. and we made a lot of progress. over 400 tents removed with over 600 people. we're now down to less than 30 tents. and we drive around the tenderloin, we walk around the tenderloin, and you would think that nothing has ever happened there. that no progress has been made. you see hundreds of people on blocks throughout the t.l. who are dealing drugs openly, in broad daylight. you see people pushing strollers, mothers, who have to go out on the streets to go around the drug deal

law enforcement and supporting our african-american neighbors and other minorities that live in our citiesth and will continue to do both for four more years. this president has supported opportunities, educational toys, supported record investment in jobs in our inner city, which supported record investment in historically black colleges and university. in our first three years, we saw the lowest unemployment recorded ever for african-americans. for four more years, the best is yet to come for our african-american families, and we will do all of that while we support the law enforcement at every level. [applause] but what brings me here today, and i will let these extraordinary officers get out --the sun, is just too just to say thank you. and not just for this endorsement. 60,000 members of the southern states police benevolent association. support means more to this president and vice president that i can possibly express. once it'sncoln said only ambition in life was to be the steam -- esteemed by those he esteemed. so to have the support of men and women who literally put your lives o

i asked our team, our city team to start working with people and organizations in our neighborhood to did he vel community led education campaigns and outreach efforts specifically around mask wearing, and many answered the call. our nonprofits arts and faith organizations are on the frontlines impacting communities. because of their relationships, they are often the most trusts and the most influential than the government. i'm proud to say, today, we are launching our first series of community-led campaigns ahead of labor day weekend, and you are going to hear from some of our partners shortly. but first, i want to address why we are launching this ahead of this current weekend. historically, labor day is dedicated to the social and economic achievements of american workers. because of the pandemic, this labor day has a special significance. it is a chance to honor the special workers in our community. we know this virus has disproportionately impacted our frontline workforce, many of them who have to reuse their medical equipment every sipping wisipping -- single day. labor day mark

while still meeting the needs of our city. through all of this, we continue to protect our public workforce. let be clear, when we talk about 180,000 san franciscans applying for unemployment, not one of those people is doing so because of city cut their job. not one. as our economy plummeted, we wanted our city workers to focus on their health and the health of their families and on serving our residents during this crises. not on whether or not they would have a paycheck. with the budget i'm proposing today, i i want to continue to prevent all layoffs. but to do that, we need our labor partners to work with us. we need them to agree to delay any planned wage increases for two years. so far, we are having good conversations with the firefighters and the police officers on delaying their raises i'm hopeful other unions will agree to do the same. i don't think this is too much to ask. our entire city is suffering now. we all need to do our part to hair in that sacrifice. i want to be very clear, if the union don't agree to delay

leaders here tonight, and most importantly, all of you that are the empowerment network that makes our city sing. from the beach to the bay, our neighborhood are filled with good neighbors making our city strong. and tonight's ceremony, tonight's ceremony is thanks to the tireless efforts of the neighborhood empowerment network, along with the mayor's office of neighborhood services. i have to say those departments are full of dedicated employees who go in to work every day to work with residents from all walks of life. if you need an assisted listening device, please contact any of our staff. if they could raise their hands right now. we are so grateful, as well, we have our a.s.l. interpretation and live closed captioning available tonight. i want to recognize our departments, rec and park, public works, the community challenge grant program, the office that i have the honor of leading, the office of economic and workforce development, s.f. safe, and, of course, the alert and nert programs. yes, a little round of applause, please, for them. [applause] >> for all their help in honoring our

there is no economic recovery unless people are confident reengaging with our city and city life. we will continue to provide immediate relief to workers, families, businesses. we will continue to be as flexible as we can. through our words and actions we will break the narrative it is a decision between public health or the economy. over the last few months we know we need both. that is our continued commitment to you. i am cautiously excited. there are many cautions out there, we hope you continue to do your best during this week end. i am excited this plan recognizes many things. one, we need to take steps to move the economic activity indoors. we need to do it safely to sustain the opening. it really does begin to recognize what that path forward could look like. this plan also recognizes the importance of uplifting large and major industries in the city including hog hospitalities. thousands are employed in hotels and restaurants and retail stores. we can do that safely. we have shown the world we can do this safely. i will rest on this one thought. it is a refrain you have he

we have a clear set of values in our city and this ain't it. our community needs more teachers and nurses and our essential workers to be well taken care of. we need to prioritize the people who are keeping the community healthy, not scared. the sfpd and sheriff will not provide medical care to residents and they will not do any more than they're doing to keep our city running. the board must take all necessary measures to protect essential workers, including sourcing funds. san francisco can do so much better than this. black lives matter. >> speaker: you mentioned with regards to this budget issue, the budget thing had its own hearing, own notification, but the budget appropriation's committee, it's a committee and there's only certain people there and i imagine that many of the people commenting would like to address the board because it's not just the people on the budget appropriation's committ committee. >> thank you for your comments. operations, let's hear from the next caller, please. >> speaker: i'm lawrence, a black man and i live in

i go, have you seen our city?!ived, the president did view some of the damage caused during the protests, and met law enforcement agencies. he called the demonstrations anti—police and anti—american. violent mobs demolished or damaged at least 25 businesses, burned down public buildings and threw bricks at police officers. which police officers won't stand for. and they didn't stand for it. these are not acts of peaceful protest, but really domestic terror. my administration coordinated with the state and local authorities to very, very swiftly deploy the national guard and federal law enforcement to kenosha and stopped the violence. this did all start with the shooting seven times by an officer ofjacob blake. but his family said they didn't want to see the president. all i ask is that he keep his disrespect, his foul language, far away from our family. we need a president that's going to unite our country and take us on a different direction. in any case, donald trump's focus has been law and order, looting and bu

this is the number of covid-19 cases diagnosed in our city at this time. rowth remains stubbornly in the red zone at about 61 new cases a day. this number has been slowly trending downward for the past few weeks, but we must remain vigilant, and i must say, with labor day and the crowds, we must continue to mask, to socially distance, to avoid mass gatherings whenever possible. we know from the data that this virus is responsive to our prevention measures. if we are careful and thoughtful, if we get to that 80% masking prevalence, if we keep 6 feet apart, if we avoid large gatherings, the virus slows down, and if we don't do those things, the virus speeds up. it's really that simple at this point. let's go to slide 2. this is the history of hospitalizations of covid-19 patients across our hospitals in the city. again, these data are available to review on our data tracker, but you can see that our happenings a hospitalizations are starting to rise again on that far left of the slide. we have had a 29% increase -- recent increase in covid-19 patients in san

harrington, what's your response to the investigation and now the prosecution that's been playing out in our city around misconduct, fraud, and corruption by city officials that has now expanded to -- at least the investigation looking into the p.u.c. since july, and how does that relate to the important oversight role of the p.u.c. and for you as a p.u.c. commissioner? >> well, you know, i've been very briefly briefed by the city attorney, that this was an expansion. i think what i'm going to say is former director harrington said, that all of us in the labor movement, whether we're in government or any part of public life is going to be incredibly diligent to make sure that somebody, you know, that is cheating or taking public dollars or whatever else is going to be exposed, so, you know, as part of the oversight committee, we will -- you know, i'm going to take this very seriously. i don't know of anything, but somebody might or somebody might not. we know the most high profile pieces that have come out of this investigation, but i'm going to take the oversight very seriously, but to be honest

and as to what supervisor haney said, really recognizing our frontline city workers, our bus drivers, nurses, laborers, all the folks that have put it on the line every single day. our librarians have been some of the best disaster service workers that have been redeployed doing contact tracing. while our libraries are shut down, these are the folks in our hotels that are out on the streets, doing much of that work. so our command center, our human rights led by director davis and all the conversation of equity that were incorporated into this budget. and then lastly, the work we were able to do for one of the first times, the city-wide initiative on violence prevention for the api community working in partnership with some very significant ceo to talk about the violence perpetrated toward the chinese-american api community and working with the african-american community to come together in terms of building harmony and partnership to really dig deep into this. so i just wanted to thank everyone for all the hard work. thank you, president yee, for your leadership as well. i know you w

our focus should be on making sure that we as a city are providing also good information. that there's been a lot of confusion with our small businesses and operations and whether or not they can operate indoors or outdoors, and so we as a city, and the confusion between the local information and the state information, we have to do a better responsibility of doing a better job around communication. so we can either focus and blaming and saying who should do what, but we have bigger issues as it relates to this country, and i have a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation for the hard work that nanny pelosi does every single day to take care of this city and this country. and that's what we should be focused on because we are dealing with very challenging times, and leadership does matter. i do understand that the industry is suffering, not only the hair industry, but the masseuses and the salons. i understand the frustration, and some businesses may not ever open again. i understand this is hard for everyone. the decisions that we're making around public health have

police department reside within the psb, but our fire department's leadership and the nucleus of our citiesoperations reside in that building. our ability to serve the residents of our city on a daily basis depends on the service that's are held within that building. we have to protect it. there is credible information that outside agitators want to destroy the psb. that said, what truly matters is creating a city that is dedicated to serving, protecting and lifting up the least among us. what will always pain me about the death of mr. daniel prude is our failure to do that. we had a human being in need of help and compassion in that moment we had had an opportunity to protect him, to keep him warm, to bring him to safety, to begin the process of healing him and lifting him up. we have to own the fact that in that moment we did not do that. we will not have the opportunity to save mr. prude. kint bring him back. none of us can. but what i do have the opportunity to ensure is that his memory creates ever lasting change. to ensure that he did not die in vain that, the next man or woman that n

isn't she doing a wonderful job leading our city and taking the heat? we are all sacrificing. i know she actually put out a message this morning for our schools talking about families. there is a lot of people struggling right now. there is a lot of children, a lot of families who are waiting for their opportunity to go back to school. the work that we all do together as a community, coming together as a community benefits everyone it benefits those that are suffering the most. there's a lot of children right now that are waiting for their opportunity to get back into the classroom and so much of that is already being underscored by what we have done in this community. we opened up one of our community learning hubs. i want to thank london breed and dr. colfax and for the work that they have done and the covid command centre for joining us here today. at this site is community driven this site is a perfect example of how a community that comes together shows its resiliency and strength. after months of fighting to open a testing sight, the community came together. these folks a

so these fundamental issues to our city are all related. we need to decrease the cost of housing, and when we have our analysis tell us that it costs more than $600,000 to build a low-income unit in the city, that's broken. and this process, and that we're all sitting here, is the reason we don't have housing. it's the reason we didn't have housing three years ago for this specific unit. now this process takes decades, and it takes hundreds of thousands of dollars, and it takes attorneys. and yeah, sometimes there's a gas line, but this process is what's broken here, not these plans. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. operations, is there any caller in the queue in support of the project? hello, caller, once you're unmuted, you can just begin your comments. okay. >> hello? >> clerk: yes, hello, welcome. >> i just want to say i support the project. i think it should go through. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. operations, is there another caller on the line in support of the project? >> operator: madam clerk, that complet

but especially for those in our city who keep our storefronts open. it was already very challenging even before covid. this city has not done its part for people to have small businesses in the city. they have endured month after month of shutdown and uncertainty, we had to pause our reopening in june, just when we thought we were moving forward. in trying to navigate, keeping their customers happy, their employees paid and their doors open. we've tried to help when nearly $30 million in funding for paid sick leave, grants and zero-interest loans and our shared-space program to give them more room to operate safely outdoors. but still it's been hard. the good news is over the last few weeks, we've begun to move forward with a number of reopenings for our small businesses community. first, our outdoor services for personal services and gym. now this week both are open indoors, because most of us know -- many of those services cannot even operate outdoors in the first place. we are until conversations with our restaurant owners, because we know that whil

and as to what supervisor haney said, really recognizing our frontline city workers, our bus drivers, nurses, laborers, all the folks that have put it on the line every single day. our librarians have been some of the best disaster service workers that have been redeployed doing contact tracing. while our libraries are shut down, these are the folks in our hotels that are out on the streets, doing much of that work. so our command center, our human rights led by director davis and all the conversation of equity that were incorporated into this budget. and then lastly, the work we were able to do for one of the first times, the city-wide initiative on violence prevention for the api community working in partnership with some very significant ceo to talk about the violence perpetrated toward the chinese-american api community and working with the african-american community to come together in terms of building harmony and partnership to really dig deep into this. so i just wanted to thank everyone for all the hard work. thank you, president yee, for your leadership as well. i know you w

our mayor for her tremendous support and leadership during this incredibly challenging time for our city, as well as supervisors peskin and haney, for their commitment to combating this problem. with that, i would like to introduce our mayor, london breed. >> mayor breed: good morning, everyone. thank you, all, so much for being here today. i want to begin by thanking dennis has rare kerrera and the attorney office to deal with one of the biggest challenges in the tenderloin community. not so long ago we set down a path to address what we saw as a significant increase in homelessness and tent encampments in the t.l. and we made a lot of progress. over 400 tents removed with over 600 people. we're now down to less than 30 tents. and we drive around the tenderloin, we walk around the tenderloin, and you would think that nothing has ever happened there. that no progress has been made. you see hundreds of people on blocks throughout the t.l. who are dealing drugs openly, in broad daylight. you see people pushing strollers, mothers, who have to go out on the streets to go around the drug deal

we had seen five years of decrease in gun crime and we decreased our shootings and homicides by over 50% in five years. and other cities also saw some of this. our fire program has been a model across the country in reducing fun crime. so we entered the first quarter of this year. we had a little bit of an uptick. but remember the second quarter of this three months since the shelter-in-place has hit, we have seen almost a 70% increase. and you know, it goes up a little bit in the summer. but year over year looking at the same quarter last year, we are still seeing an astounding increase of about 60%. so we are seeing kind of across the country major cities are seeing this type of an increase and it's everything from gang and group conflicts to the level of sort of anxiety and frustration around the challenges and the fiscal crisis. and when you think even just about so many of our individuals, really, seeing a level of challenge with the pandemic and not knowing what the future brings, changes and patterns, so our bars, our restaurants, the regular places people gather are not available so these gang group conflicts.

i want to thank our community partners, they are the awesome people out here volunteering with our city staff from the office of civic engagement and immigrant affairs. with that, i'm going to introduce somebody who doesn't need any introduction. he is the mayor of the tenderloin, he is our hero, and has been doing it for the tenderloin and the south market and district 6 since july of last year when we all started this, mr. dell seymor. >> hey, good afternoon. i will not be long. until a couple of years ago, i thought the united states citizen count was the most boring thing, but now i want to find out who cares and what matters. if the people who are standing here today, if each one of you all will go and recruit 10 people to come and sign up for the census, that will be about $100,000 to the city. you could bring $100,000 to the city. do you know how many shelter beds that is, how many showers, how many meals? ask someone across the street what that $100,000 could mean to this city. they don't have any idea how many people are out here and on the streets and in need. they talk this b

here in san francisco, widespread testing has been critical to the city's response to the pandemic, but our opportunity to offer widespread testing to the city prevents further transmission of the virus. unfortunately, for some of our residents, a lack of adequate covid protections created barriers from accessing this testing. while a covid positive worker who's quarantining cannot legally be fired or be forced to use unpaid leave, wosome workers are still vulnerable at being fired just because they're quarantining. the s.a.f.o.r. makes it illegal to demote, suspend, or reduce benefits or in any manner discriminate against an employee who's off work because they're quarantining because of covid-19. what really motivated supervisor ronen to introduce this ordinance was a recent study of residents living in the mission, and that study was illuminating and revealing the fear of losing one's employment really discouraged a number of workers from taking care of themselves or feeling force today go to work in the first place. [inaudible] who have no alternative access to income during the period

, that we continue to make our cityat. is that right? yeah. and i want to say that we will continue this effort because without the people in the community, this city is not a city. it's empty. but with the people in the community, we are really blessed that we all live in san francisco, the best city in the world! thank you very much. thank you very much. [applause] >> thank you so much, president yee, representing the board of supervisors. we're going to do a little bit of stage crafting right now as it moves to the right. so now, we welcome to the stage, winners of extraordinary neighborhood block party, the extraordinary neighborhood block party and best merchant association-community benefit district. now block parties are more than just parties. they're an opportunity for people to come together, become family, to celebrate what makes living in san francisco great. we welcome this community building activity with the extraordinary neighborhood block party award. for the past seven years, the residents of connectic

community stood up, stood up to them and let them know in no uncertain terms you are not going to burn our city not going to attack our police officers. and they don't support these notions of defund and dismantle the police department. and so we have a community that stands with us. and i i think that's one of the great things. but also the fact that we are not going to allow this group of terrorists come in and set up a seattle-like zone in our city. they tried. we gave them -- we showed a lot of patience, a lot of warnings, and then we made a arrests. and they responded by resisting, and so we ended up arresting 44 of these individuals. gerri: that was a couple of weekends ago, think, chief. >> right. gerry: it sounds pretty, if i may say so, very well done for having maintained the peace, but it's very common sense, right? you don't let people, you don't -- you keep on top of the agitators, you don't let people take control of the streets. >> that's right. gerry: law enforcement should be keeping control. why does that seem so difficult to do for other places? >> you know, as much as i don'

industry average in the culinary program. >> we do have internals continually coming into our restaurants from citylege of san francisco, and most of the time that people doing internships with us realize this is what they want to do for a living. we hired many interns into employees from our restaurants. my partner is also a graduate of city college. >> so my goal is actually to travel and try to do some pastry in maybe italy or france, along those lines. i actually have developed a few connections through this program in italy, which i am excited to support. >> i'm thinking about going to go work on a cruise ship for about two, three year so i can save some money and then hopefully venture out on my own. >> yeah, i want to go back to china. i want to bring something that i learned here, the french cooking, the western system, back to china. >> so we want them to have a full toolkit. we're trying to make them ready for the world out there.

that's the goal that we're working toward, creating equity in our city for everyone in our city. we in our country obviously have much work to do. we here in louisville, myself, are firmly committed to that work to make our future a future of equity for everyone in our country and in our city. it's important for those taking to our streets and those supporting demonstrators from home to understand the power of this moment. you have the attention of the people who lead our government, our businesses, our education and other institutions. we're listening, we're obviously engaged in this work and ready to do a lot more, but we have to do it together. violence only hurts this cause. when any of us gives into the temptation to channel anger into violence, we slow our progress. we sacrifice the future for the moment, and that's just another tragedy and we've seen enough tragedy. we never had control over what attorney general or the grand jury would do. we don't have control over what the fbi will do with its investigati investigation. we do have control over what happens next in our c

board of supervisors is actively pursuing measures to make our city a less welcoming place. we need to do our part to address overcrowded households of people being pushed out into communities and paying too much of their income towards housing. we need to plot a better course for our future. we have the ability to house people in a walkable city here in san francisco, with much less greenhouse gas impact and in a city without the fire danger that many of the outlying areas in our region have. please, do not support this measure. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. let's hear from the next caller, operations. >> caller: good evening, supervisors. my name is charles zasinski and i'm a renter in district 8. i ask you to vote against supervisor mar's resolution. we need to do the right thing and allow people who want to be there and want the opportunity to contribute to this community to do so. we need to be open to allowing people to bring their ideas and perspectives to join us, to challenge us, and to keep us looking to the future. my gr

usually vibrant, bustling, dynamic, and yet for much of the last six months many of our city centres have looked like this. it's time for that to change, says the government. the head of the civil service, sir mark sedwill, says the prime minister believes... this is whitehall, home to loads of government departments. it's actually relatively busy here today but still pretty quiet on weekdays. the government wants four in five civil servants in england to be back at their desks for at least some of the week by the end of this month with more and more people worrying that unless public and private sector workers return to the office there could be huge economic consequences. if we don't see workers coming back until the new year, and workers are a big driver of footfall in city centres, particularly on a monday to friday, then we might see

our focus should be on making sure that we as a city are providing also good information. know that there's been a lot of confusion with our small businesses and operations and whether or not they can operate indoors or outdoors, and so we as a city, and the confusion between the local information and the state information, we have to do a better responsibility of doing a better job around communication. so we can either focus and blaming and saying who should do what, but we have bigger issues as it relates to this country, and i have a tremendous amount of respect and appreciation for the hard work that nanny pelosi does every single day to take care of this city and this country. and that's what we should be focused on because we are dealing with very challenging times, and leadership does matter. i do understand that the industry is suffering, not only the hair industry, but the masseuses and the salons. i understand the frustration, and some businesses may not ever open again. i understand this is hard for everyone. the decisions that we're making around public health

businesses inatch our cities burn. weeks ago, he did condemn violence in every form it takes, but right after that, he criticized law enforcement. and joe biden has never called out his campaign staff or running mate for raising bail for violent criminals, and he still has not called for mayors to get their cities under control. the fact is, joe biden will double down on all of the policies that have led to violence in our cities. a lack when you signal of support or waning support for law enforcement, it in bold and those. it emboldens those who threaten our families and our cities, so let me be clear. we are going to stand with the men and women who serve on the thin blue line of law enforcement, whether it is los angeles or kenosha or rochester. we are going to back the blue. joe biden says that america is systemically racist. and that law enforcement in his words, as i quote, has implicit bias against minorities. when asked whether he would support cutting funding to law enforcement, joe biden actually ," butd, "ye

and as to what supervisor haney said, really recognizing our frontline city workers, our bus drivers, nurses, laborers, all the folks that have put it on the line every single day. our librarians have been some of the best disaster service workers that have been redeployed doing contact tracing. while our libraries are shut down, these are the folks in our hotels that are out on the streets, doing much of that work. so our command center, our human rights led by director davis and all the conversation of equity that were incorporated into this budget. and then lastly, the work we were able to do for one of the first times, the city-wide initiative on violence prevention for the api community working in partnership with some very significant ceo to talk about the violence perpetrated toward the chinese-american api community and working with the african-american community to come together in terms of building harmony and partnership to really dig deep into this. so i just wanted to thank everyone for all the hard work. thank you, president yee, for your leadership as well. i know you w

our system. it's the people destroying it. and when you let these people go in these cities, burn our cities down, shoot police officers point-blank, you know manners matter. god matters. our country needs to heal. people need to just stop being so evil and so hateful to each other and spewing out all this hateful stuff. host: martha out of port charlotte, florida. good morning. caller: good morning. i'm calling because i'm concerned about the virus. but i work for a psychiatrist that at james park, new york. she knew trump, ok. when she comes back from manhattan and he had -- talking to her. he always admired hitler. he's acting just like -- host: we are running out of time. say what your top issue is in campaign 2020. caller: the virus. host: why? caller: because it's killing all of us. we need -- trump's not telling the truth about it. he's just lying. to us. he lied from the beginning. thank you. host: martha in port charlotte, florida this morning. we'll try to get in tom in california as we wait for the house to return for legislative business this morning. tom, can you make it quick. tom, are you with us this morning? the h
