it's what we call the homeless shelter ada renewals. we haven't done a renewal -- mod hasn't done a renewal since about 2007. and our job in there is to go and just make sure all of those things that benefit accessibility are functioning correctly, like, door operators, adding wheelchair lifts and we have the right things in the shower rooms and toilet rooms and if necessary if they have raised beds for people to transfer into the bed rather than onto a mat and they will be using those funds in the three primary city clinics. the next project is the youth guidance center. that is up at 375 -- woodside drive. this is essentially the youth courts, which has many city departments have offices in this building. and there are three different courtrooms in this building as well. and right now it is accessed by a very, very steep ramp on the face of the building, as you can see in the photograph here. we have already done master planning for the building. and we have gotten funding last year to do all of the architectural design and constructi

the part is ada -- park is ada accessible. it is also a natural lake. this is your chance to stroll around the lake and let the kids run free. it also has many birds to watch. it is a place to find and appreciate what you -- a wonderful breath of fresh air. come and experience in this park and enjoy the people, picnics, and sunshine. this is a lovely place to take a stroll with your loved ones. in the middle of pacific heights, on top of these hills, it offers a great square, a peaceful beauty, large trees and grass and greenery. it features tables and benches, a playground, restaurants, and tennis courts. there are plenty of areas for football and picnics. it is very much a couple's park. there are many activities you can experience together. stroll on the pathways, bring your dog, or just picnic at one of the many tables and enjoy all that it has to offer together. many couples find this is a perfect park to throw down a blanket and soak up the sun. it is a majestic place that you can share with someone you chairs. lafayette park is also easily access

construction or doing alteration, we're getting 100% accessibility, all projects are reviewed by an ada coordinator, an expert in the field and then we also do inspections. and on these other projects, especially the ada transition money plan projects, when we have made their requests to the committee, we have been diligent spreading our ask out -- our money comes from the same place homeless shelters are funded from, health care. so we needed to be very judicious how we spread out our work and prioritized and we came to the council to ask priorities. what should we fix first before we move through this program? and our requests are always floating to the top in the capital system. sometimes we have had to give money back, give projects back, but the projects don't go away; right? we come back and say you defunded us, we want it back. simple as that. i would say bayview was a good example of a project that started. it got defunded because of the economic crisis and then when it restarted several other departments said we have to get this done. this is too important. we need to get the h

to provide the ada supporting document >> thank you. is there any additional public comment >> commissioners i'm out of town on may 1st but listened to the hearing and multiply design strategies were suggested, however, when i saw the new plans i became confused only to make the top that the dispensary moved it into 2 feet. the pictures my brother showed were not skating there's a different change i have a small rear unite with no windows and the sunlight i'll lose is the only sunlight i get from january 1st from some shadow studies currently you see the light an january 1st but not with the proposed buildings and same with february as well and i'm not getting any more light and october payroll - michelle shows this this we want to permit more light that i i stress this isn't about the sun your be prostrate a full wall shouldn't there about a trade off the radish development for small property owner elsewhere michelle has offered now a 9 foot walkway each time the developer offers nothing. police dog incorporate either the courtyard or

coded because it would be an equal distance to the curb so i'm not understanding the ada issue at all. also i would point out that the dpw stated they've, of course, have no way of recording what was stated but what was stated to ms. lee was absolutely that they saw nothing wrong with the site and they would have it investigated by at&t. we never saw the results of that we never gatt got a communication she's heard nothing from them about it so if they investigated that where is it i have nothing to argue because i don't know their evidence that it would not be client to the rules and regulations. the other thing i want to mention is the driveway noted in the diagram you have at the late driveway at the 1440 o grer 0 restraining order street it's not unlawful they were informed it wouldn't be lawfully for them to park there because of the traffic on gerrero and caesar chavez is so heavy >> okay. >> so they don't use it for anything at all. >> i'm just guessing i think when they talk about the ada issues the clearance between the back of the sidewalk is probably not the required 48 inc

>> yes. >> and he was there between 11:30 and 11:35 to pick up ada?>> yes. >> and all those competing facts took closing arguments to put them together. the prosecutor's was aggressive. >> make no doubt, we believe he intentionally and knowingly caused the death of his wife. the evidence supports it. the motive is there. it's dripping. the means are there. and the opportunity is there. >> and the defense had to concede, martin was a cad and a cheat. but insisted the prosecution hadn't even proved there was a murder, let alone that martin committed it. >> i submit to you that none of the circumstances that the prosecution has submitted to you is consistent with homicide. they don't rise to the level of proof of beyond a reasonable doubt. >> and then the jury began deliberating. they huddled, hour after hour, late into that friday night. midnight came and went. they were still talking. >> the longer the deliberations went, the more worried i got. >> quicker deliberations the better? >> in this particular case, i thought so, because our face was fairly s

in using this term i want to be cache because the ada has limited application to existing housing like the s r o the ada applies to the publicly funded housing like the projects funded by the mayor's office of housing or our housing authority but other examples of former s r o that got renovated with public fund they got new sclaits slates lake the arlington hotel and kelly on golden gate in the old ymca. and those big jobs were rare turns out to be able to not only do full escaping scale renovations but to you didn't want upgrade those in capsize and practitioner. we were lucky at the economic downturn we received funds through the tarp to do the critical renovations our office provided the field sticks services by the way, we've worked on smaller projects to upgrade the existing elevator we are curling working with over halls in 14 elevators i've met with the housing authority to look at the preliminary plans one of the things that was interesting to hear concepts of what is it takes on a prefer elevator basis to do a major off halls i mean to describe something that is everything bu

but, we also work with the ada coordinators who work on some labor issues. and wanted to refer back again to title one, because in the city's structure, when we look at which department or agency is responsible for title one employment issues, that really is the department of human resources, and of course, we heard today, from linda about their role as they enforce employment policies, and more specifically, rule 115. one thing that our office can do is lead by example. and i will share a story about our recent employee out reach. as a department head, i am both a person with a disability, as well as employer of people with disabilities. and so, when i was in the recruiting mode for some recent appointments i looked very closely with my department of human resources staff some might say that i micromanaged the process. but i wanted to be sure that i was copied and aware of all of the communications to make sure that any potential applicants would understand the full nature and extent of examinations and interviews. and so that they would understand, if they

. >> 63-year-old ada menzies knows her chickens by name.hey return the favor by laying an egg a day. >> thank you, ladies. >> her parents built her home, and she was raised here. >> it was a happy, happy place to grow up. we just knew that everyone was welcome here. >> a third of the people in this one square mile area are long-time residents like ada. while older and needing help, they want to stay in their own homes. so the local jewish community organization has designated the neighborhood a naturally occurring retirement community or a no rc. seniors identify what social services they need and the no c hooks them up with medical care, housekeeping, yard work, even meals. >> they can be engaged. when you move folks to an assisted living or a nursing home, it sends -- it sends a message that maybe my time is coming to an end. >> since no rcs are funded largely with private money and grants, they keep seniors from dipping into higher cost government programs like medicaid and medicare. no rcs can save thousands of dollars a month from care

and the ada program but also to ensure that we're selling other programs and making businesses aware of other programs. the office of small business which, supervisor, i know you were a leader in helping to create, continues to provide services to small businesses another key area where our small business team is focussed is on the implementation of outreach workshops designed specifically to address appropriate specific programs like the ada program and i want to spend a second talking about how we designed this program. this really came out of -- supervisors, you know well, many times just sending a letter to get a letter with all this intimidating language citing statute and with the support of all 3 of you supervisors we've implemented a program and expanding the program that works with these small businesses to provide information about what they need to grow and be successful and we conducted a number of bilingual workshops principally with spanish speaking and chinese speaking small business owners. again language access is -- we have a number of training programs specifically

including ada bathrooms. there was an invest neighborhood reports written by the planning department and the mayor's office about the improvement of lumbar street overtime and it noted 29 percent of all vasods are hotel and have huge curb cuts and parking below. as a result, lumbar is a look of a suburban highway from the 1950s. and hopefully this will spur some change. asceticly the new design by benjamin will make the building look less suburban. the minimum windows will be replaced with windows and the outdoor cafe, there's an cafe but it doesn't have an outdoor space and we'll make it more urban. the ground floor sen. station will do the same. the remove -- the classical corner sis that's on a new building will make the new architecture more honest than what you're seeing today and more urban looking than this suburban look that i see on the facade today. screening the parking will make it look more urban and reduction of the existing large 40-foot curb cut to a 15-foot curb cut will do that as well. sign

for example, one of the avenues is that our on-line job application system is ada compliant. we also at the department of human resources in our lobby have computers that are ada compliant. and every one of our job announcements on the dhr website also stipulate that if an applicant requires accommodation, who to contact for that accommodation, and we do routinely provide those for the applicants and in addition to that all of the announcements also provide contact information, regarding tty access. and in addition to that, we also have donna kataki who you have identified as leading the effort to work with the cbos in the community and particularly we have been very happy to work with kate williams for light house for the blind in reaching out to those and advising them of positions that are available that are listed on the website and also asking the cbos that if they have clients that meet any of the minimum qualifications for those positions please send us their resumes. and then we can reach out to those departments and have them identify those positions, as rule 115, so

who was shesome. >> ada claire is one of a wide spectrum of types who spent most of her time in thisne club in new york city which was a real bohemian spot in the 1850s. and then ada claire, having independent wealth from a family that died, was able to go on the stage to present herself as a bohemian, free woman from new york all the way to hon lieu loo -- hon honolulu, most astonishingly. >> a single mother. >> and a single mother and go through a series of lovers and write a series of unsuccessful novels and live this sort of astonishing way that seems to us unbelievable for the 1850s. but spoke to the openness of american society which in some ways, some terribly sad ways for me as the great, great grandson of an abolitionist and union army soldier, shut down with the civil war and left behind it a very lessened, weakened society with a bohemia that took 20 or 30 years to give itself sort of a rebirth. >> ada introduces a paradox. she was the sole heiress of plantation other thans. and we also meet natalie barney who kind of also had more money than god and used it to build a les

because over the last several, i would say decade, there are a lot of issues that have come up about ada access and so, that is kind of in a nutshell, some of the highlights of what this problem will be doing, again, we really hope that really it is just a sharing of more accurate information, and more widespread so that we can better connect some of our small businesses that want to open up and in our various neighborhoods throughout the entire city and so with that, i am happy to answer any questions that you might have on this program. >> okay. supervisor melgar? >> i am sorry, commissioner melgar? >> good morning, thank you so much. i think that this is a fabulous idea. and i am wondering, i could not really tell from the legislation which city department will be overseeing the population of the data base and you know, keeping up the data is clean. >> sure, and i neglected to actually acknowledge the people that helped, especially the department of building inspection and we had meetings with the office of small business and oewd and the community partners whether it is the apartment
