we do patio need to grow as a city but i believe we're not being honest about the places we live and i know that shadow does matter because we live in a cold city. i don't want to use open space these that's notes where i'm going to be motivated to go out to a park if it's going to be shaded because of development. but we have to take the issues into consideration of the shadows and citizens >> so moving forward as we have major plans whether it's moscone expansions and i hope we expand on that study it makes no sense while we look at only the quality and not the kwnltd matter. we have folks that are 65 and older some of the comments i saw were the folks who said they have time crossings the streets by the time allocated to them. but i think the eir is an opportunity to really delve into that. the basis line again like what days we pick why we don't examine baselines i think we should have an answer for that or i think once we hit 20 days a year it's a typical event we should examine the baseline for. i look forward to working with planning a

we have an agreement that protects our financial agreement as a city and we have also learned so much in this process and we are going to continue to keep our city our eye on the ball and make sure we have a secure city. and to thank people around the podium here for different city departments, barbara garcia i , to all of our trade members, to the community coalition, to vince from the alliance, this has been a group effort and a group supporting us today. i couldn't be prouder to be part of it. at that point we turn it back to lou gerardo. [ applause ] . the next person that i would like to introduce is supervisor david campos. we talked about 40 hours of meetings but we didn't talk about the hours and hours of telephone calls and constituent meetings and i would say these fellows put out about over 200 hours in the process. david has been an incredible champion for this campus in particular for saint luke's and the need for this area. i didn't know david before i came to this process and i walk away from this process with great add admiration. >> i want to thank and acknowledge man

as a city, as some of you know we have a 130-mile underground network of fiber that we use primarily to connect city buildings and assets such as traffic signals and fire stations and we're expanding that network with extremely modest initial investments. many around the country are installing super high-speed infrastructure, and we can do better. in our 21st century world, cities need access to affordable high-quality broadband. my legislation is simple, whether we open up work for a sewer or redo or pave our roads we should put in fiber cond conduit if it's not there already; my legislation doesn't mandate installation of fiber conduit, but simply provides the opportunity to lay fiber. data overfiber connections run, as much as one hundred times faster that stand services such as dsl and piggy-backing on planned excavations could cut expenses. my hope is that we could restart a broader conversation about municipal fiber, about whether we can expand our network efficiently? what we should use it for and whether the city can move forward with this? we need to look at our business case

we are here today because of your efforts, and we as a board, we as a city are grateful for the true contributions you have made. thank you, let's give the coalition a big round of applause and i especially want to acknowledge that liaison, paul kumar, i don't see him in the crowd. i think it's fair to say that paul was an integral part to making this happen. thank you paul for your great work. let me talk about saint luke's, in life you come to full circle. i first came to saint luke's when i finished school. i graduated and didn't have health insurance and i was pretty sick and i didn't know what to do. i learned about saint luke's it where people who find themselves in my predictment go. my mom was ill and we had to take her to the er. they saved her life. it's very personal to me. the test for me has always been we want saint luke's to be a world class hospital. this dealen insures that we get that. we have 120 beds. which is a 50 percent increase from the original proposal, but more importantly, saint luke's plays a more important role as part of the larger cpmc system. cpmc by

situation with the staffing levels and the current status of our workforce and i think it's embarrassing as a city that we don't fund those. i do want to look at this again, i think it's a real travesty we don't do this as a city. and over time as you replace salary with o.j. to fund those missing short time hours. i think it's

adding with all come together as a board, as a city. we should come together as san franciscans, and, colleagues, at this time, i hope, and i asked that we unanimously vote for ed lee to be our next mayor. this is also a historic day for the asian-american community. for a community that has been here in santa francisco, for over 160 years, i am a product of that community. i know the ed and all of us of asian-american decent feel the legacy. i want to thank all of you who have been part of this historic moment to make this happen. and say that this is obviously not just about a chinese- american community or an asian american community. this is about the american dream. the idea that anyone of any background of any color from any part of the globe can come here and sunday be at the very top of what our community is about and someday be at the very top of what our community is about. >> to address these concerns, i have made a series of amendments to the resolution that capture the spirit of the policy but would allow continued conversat

city. but, i think that this is a intoed time, this is just shows that we are progressive city and we are growing as a city and i really feel that mta does not sit down and say how can we take part? and this is a learning process for both the business community and the mta and i think like everybody here said, it has to be targeted to the specific communities and i think that we can get through this and it is a learning process for both sides and i am excited and like my commissioner co-commissioner julie said there has to be some representation on this mta side. small business. >> thank you. >> commissioner white? >> yes, obviously, i want to take all of the small businesses for coming out i am actually also a small business owner and there is also out reach issues for things that happened in our community. since we know that it is a big vital part and we are hearing all of the concerns of the small business with the loading issues supporting their workers. >> to come to work for them. to, you know, be able to conveniently and not taking the business elsewhere. my question is hear those things and

it is an incredibly important institution i don't want to come off that we as a city don't care about city college or that we should be working to make sure this institution remains viable. it really is a continuing education pathway for so many of our residents. i think it certainly deserves a conversation that we are dedicating to today. >> president chiu: supervisor wiener. >> supervisor wiener: thank you. i agree with them is everything that supervisor kim said. i would feel comfortable changing the word " inflating" with "growing." i can't even imagine what would happen if the college were to lose its accreditation. this is why the proposition passed despite of the bad press. i have serious concern about the final result in terms of what it means. i think that if we had a huge surplus, to met all the needs in terms of city services it would be appropriate to provide financial support to city college. it certainly is a totally appropriate use of funding the fact is we are not doing what we need to do in terms of our own budget. we don't have nearly enough heart gardeners and parke

speaking only as a representative, as a city official, i have been working for park and rec for two years now. ~ [inaudible] but i also speak for community as well in the apprenticeship program. it has been really helpful for a lot of people, but i have known to be inside of the program and i believe that cutting the program would really be hurtful to our youth today because of what the green [inaudible]. that is coming to us will hurt the youth because the summer programs are also working inside the gardens and the youth. if you have a 17-year-old that's, you know, really her first time or his first time working inside of a garden and they want to go into the apprenticeship program within the next year to gain the experience to help the leaders in the city to help take care of our parks. because as you know, with a principle disships, with appreciation it can be sustainable. please look out for us. we need you all. thank you. >> thank you. >>> good afternoon, everyone. my name is jackie flynn. i'm the executive director of the [speaker not understood]. from what i heard today there is no

a tragedy. we as the city are getting better everyday at it. e thing to remember about the emergency operation center under any circumstances it's not a command center we share information we do really have the police department in charge because of the crowd. we make sure that everyone is working together and to make sure if something goes wrong what happens down the line and we can order resources for weeks and days to come. i was on a conference call to boston and they reviewed a lot of things after the fact things that seemed as reentry into the street that it happened. we're going to be taking lessons from that. in the end we as the city really do work together additional we do a good job of cooperated effort >> you just mentioned the lessons from boston and one of them are you applying they would change things. >> they would allow reentry of the businesses it was a lot more complicated letting people come back into their businesses in a fact that was respectful and i see no other questions thank you. >> next deputy chief oh, we have chief

like many cities san francisco's liability which breaks down per household is funded as a pay as you go basis out of the general fund. only 1 percent is saved to date. with proposition c in 2011, city employees are starting to contribute more to their retiring health trust fund. with the proposed legislation with proposition b and passed. it's allowed to be drained by 2020 and ultimately reduce general fund annual contributions. currently we are paying out of our general fund and this number will rise to over $500 million for the next few years. today i'm introduce a new charter to fix this problem without decreasing employer contribution and benefits. the goal of this charter are straight forward and will put our city on stable ground for years to come. this is a fully funded model to help refund our major cost. and through this measure we will secure and protect our retiree health care trust fund and ensure that our controller, our treasure, the director of our retiree health care system as well as the two elected service board continue to sit and govern this body. this unfunded lie

know the cultural benefit of not life on our city without entertaining and night life, it would be a completely different city. a lot of us might not like it as much. if you do not have that community building, that tool does not exist anymore. it is not just about that. it is about keeping this city diverse, and having young people that actually want to come here. i cannot tell you how many times i walk home up market street and see a line of young people waiting to get in to hear live music. even though i am an old fuddy- duddy now and i do not stay out as late as i used to, it is important to me to know that young people have things to do today. audrey asked the economic question of me almost immediately after taking office. it benefits us the truth about $55 million in tax revenue. nightlife is the only significant industry in this city that sometimes gets treated at times as it is a nuisance, a problem to be managed. and of course, we have to focus on making sure it is safe and that people are complying with the laws and that we are not having shooting. but when you get so focused on combating the negatives -- every industry has the nega

i think there is nothing more important to me than moving forward with a strong voice from the city supervisors as many of you said supporting our city college. a i've been at the education level as a former president and vice president, and not letting the city step on our toes but this is a gesture of support in the spirit of faculty and community saying we need to support city college and a strongly urge support for the amendments in the resolution as a whole. >> president chiu: we have not yet voted on his previous amendment. i would like to suggest madam clerk, if a motion to amend, is that we are considering and that is embodied in the document that you circulated along with the two additional amendments that he described on page 2 line 24, substituting the word growing for inflating; page 3, line 15, striking the words competing unfunded budgeting. further discussion on supervisor mar's motion to amend? supervisor breed. >> supervisor breed: my comments are not necessarily about the amendment ; is more about the resolution as a whole. >> president chiu: any further discussion on the motion

for us at la cocina that are micro-communities and small communities with a city as diverse as san francisco don't have the micro-community to support it economically so you might have a regional mexican kri seen but not with enough mexicans to support that but not knowing how to move outside of that micro-community or an opportunity to move out they will stay in the informal bucket and not get to the asset generation. what make it successful? low cost of entry, flexible hours are things that you can address in the industry so we identified things that women need at our organization to be successful. one is a sharing community and san francisco is engaged in right now but leaves out low income entrepreneurs and as the ideas come about to share resources and find ways they're accessible to folks not comfortable in the media rulm and child care and ride share are huge ones and to develop resources or work with developers to bring in resources that others need and provide that need in lower risk than currently available. the current economic opportunities are really so high risk it's not a good

constantly coming at you and i get worried when we say analytically it's acceptable and we will never as a city make the downtown area a place that people want to live. >> gregory the transportation planner. how do we quantify that impact? we specifically look at sidewalks corners and crosswalks. so for this project we looked at all the crosswalks, all the sidewalks and all the corners, mission and 3rd street and along the 3rd street sidewalk, along mission street sidewalks. so we'll go identity out, and take counts and take the real width of the sidewalks. and figure out the level of services from a to f, just like the traffic. we talked about what is your baseline condition? so on a typical day, which is what we studied, when there is an average event at moscone, but not a big event. level of service, on the sidewalks and crosswalks and corners is in the b to c range. good to okay. certainly during a big event, it's congested and what we established our baseline on a typical day, that is when we take the counts. so that is why you are seeing acceptable operations. >> i wanted to talk about sp

>> the clerk: pursuant to a motion approved on may 14, the board of supervisors will convene as a city as a whole for a public hearing to hear objections report for a cost submitted by the director of public works for inspection or repair of blighted properties pursuant to administrative code chapter 80 of a black and white abatement fund. approving the cost submitted by the director of public works. >> thank you, why don't we hear from the department of public works who will summarize the reports on assessment cost. >> good afternoon, president chiu and members of the board. my name is gretchen rooud with robbins to representing the public works graffiti unit. chapter 80, the administrative code, the community preservation and black and white reduction act requires that property owners maintain their property in a blight free condition and inspect graffiti and notify owners of the damage. we have notified property owners by physical posting at the property, regular mail and by certified mail the property owners are given 30 days to an abate graffiti. when posted blight they are given

ling that for happening and i want to touch on what mayor khan said we can never be as successful as a city as we want to be unless we pay attention to the gun have the vls in our city and is no different than mayor khan or any urban mayor across the state or country. we are extremely concerned about our gun violence we have to reduce it. and you already know what we have announced in san francisco the possession the very possession of powerpoint ammuntion or automatic weapon tree has no -- in our streets or inner city and is so we offered our own legislature locally but we also know the very reality is just controlling borders won't help and so we have asked all of the mayors and county administration across california do the same and joined our state legislature and some eight other seniors to support their effort state wide and to support president obama and senior fine fine stein on their national events and i want to take a moment to make sure that we hong hospital members of sandy hook continue keeping them in our minds and but also, that things that are not as announced but every sin

it's a very common phenom and how as a city do we ensure that people are protected? so i am requesting a hearing to look at our prop c that was passed, the housing form that was passed by the voters. prop c, i requested that we include in prop c a section that was called "the housing stabilization fund." it was really made in terms of the broad consensus that mayor lee had asked for in granting prop c and to look at making the trust fund relevant to other parts of san francisco that don't necessarily see the creation of affordable housing as something that directly impacts their community. so we looked at how we support single-family homeowners in providing resources to enable them to maintain their property and little weather that wealth in their property. so we'll have a hearing to address how prop c is adressing that and those who use second units to broaden their abilities to remain in their homes and explore how prop c can support the tenants living in these units as well? this is something that looking at secondary units and possible legalization of secondary un

801, so that not because in this particular case the ftpc says you have to file it, but that we as a city believe that as a matter of policy it's a good thing for that 801 to be filed. i like the idea of approving it with the understanding that an 801 will be filed because i do think that it's important for us to make sure that we create a path for this issue to be resolved, but also to make sure there is consistency moving forward. i think that approach that supervisor kim suggested is a very creative way in allowing us to be consistent and also find a resolution for this. >> i know this is a little bit of discussion in the budget meeting. would you -- >> we had a lengthy discussion about this at budget and for those of you not on that committee,maybe i could give you a brief synopsis. the ftcp regulates forms 801 and 803. the complaint that was filed said that a form 801 should have been filed here. the ftpc says there's nothing to look at here, it was a /tkpwao* gift -- it was a gift to the city. if you haven't been in the situation of accepting gifts [inaudible] and the same informati

and meetings to flush through some of that information and one of the biggest take aways for us, as a city we're required to have a tactical interoperatable communications plan. it describes how you interoperate in an emergency or an event within the city as well as regional partners. we don't have that with military and i think that's one of the biggest take aways, we need to really flesh out a document so we have captured who our contacts are, what technology they are going to bring to the table and start that initial planning from the get-go. we also had some technical challenges with land mobile radio. you know, we have the coverage issues, but we were stationed at the san francisco police department command van, i had some very sharp people there who were able to work through a lot of those interoperatability issues so a huge thank you to the police department and also the fire department and sheriff's department were also there able to provide us with otherality gnat communications paths, only channels we were able to use for the exercise. it was a really good team effort by the city

principles to balance -- have a work place balance and that includes men and without the support of the entire city and the agencies we couldn't make this work possible. as you know we do work on domestic violence and human trafficking and for the domestic violence victims psychologically it's difficult to leave a united states -- abusive relationships and it's difficult to leave the situation. we are impressed with programs like the womens' initiative which launches entrepreneurial programs for women and in particular immigrant women. what is impressive after the intensive training they do have the ability to open a business within one year and after five years those businesses are sustainable which is very impressive given the atmosphere that we have today so i look forward to working with the small business commission further. we have heard and will hear from the human rights commission in terms of contracting for women owned businesses. we have taken in voluntarily data and businesses have to select a women owned business or minority business owners and we have asked business owner what is is more advantage us to? and seems it's the minority owned bu

meet with herb shulz to have a discussion and a partnership with all agencies regarding the affordable care act and getting more information as we as a city take a look at how the affordable care act and the healthcare agency ordinance is going to enter face with each other. and what changes we may need to make >> and then lastly, not quite lastly. we did i am very proud of our office for being very responsive, there was a bill at the state and regarding, regarding solidifying the small business development centers as an economic development entity so that we hopefully in the future will start allocating some start funds to do economic development. right now, there are no state funds being allocated towards economic development. and so, this is the first step to say, there will be an entity, that will be established that is required to do reporting back on those dollars spent. but the key thing about this is that, the sbdc to receive some funding at the federal level, they are required to have matching funding at the state level and so they are having to turn away that funding, they are having to turn away particular funding that requires

i don't think that is a good enough reason to conclude that we should not add capacity because we need to improve the road structures as part of the over all city plan, i think. and i am not going to make it like i am a traffic expert which i am not. but just the basic common sense tells me that every rule and every possible tool should be on the table and as a mentioned at the meeting last month. commissioner daily picked up on it. and i have gone to north beach and i take my family out for a meal, maybe and i really appreciate a garage across from the police station. and i mean that it is a real asset to me, that that parking space is there. and i have usually it get parked there even though sometimes i have gone all the way up to the roof. and everybody knows about clements street. and what that is like to try to get parked in. i mean the nice, well, designed facility, that added, you know, two or 300 parking spaces could have maybe a huge impact over night. on the congestion of traffic there. so i just, that is one point that i wanted to make, i don't think that it is a good idea to eliminate it too. and kind of sounds like and i have to ad

we will also hear from the laborer's union local 261 about how we as a city can increase our support for the apprenticeship program and fully promote full-time long-term employment opportunities for program graduates. i understand that we are joined by community-based organizations who work to recruit and prepare [speaker not understood] for the apprenticeship in their local communities, particularly in low-income and economically disadvantaged neighborhoods and their perspectives on the program. ~ finally, i expect we will hear from environmentalists such as the sierra club who has reesen'tly expressed their support for this program both because of its impact on our parks and open spaces and based on the c-l-u-p support for local hiring and sustainable employment policies. ~ finally, i expect that we must touch upon related issues such as whether the department promotes the apprenticeship program and collective bargaining wages and benefits for landscaping, tree trimming and maintenance services and what plans we might develop to secure long-term funding for rec and park in light of

a tragedy. we as the city are getting better everyday at it. one thing to remember about the emergency operation center under any circumstances it's not a command center we share information we do really have the police department in charge because of the crowd. we make sure that everyone is working together and to make sure if something goes wrong what happens down the line and we can order resources for weeks and days to come. i was on a conference call to boston and they reviewed a lot of things

city services. this is a project i've been working for on the past two years. in my work recording the l g t center as well. i partnered to make a film and i'd like to acknowledge that michael baxter is here as well. it's our idea that no city is in compliance 13 years later. there's several barriers that city departments don't gather information so, so there's no idea to determine the outcomes they experience. other roadblocks there's no department to over see the compliance. we urge the supervisors to develop a timeline as well as development the planning and prelims. the board of supervisors call on city departments to begin collecting information on joined identity in the beginning fiscal year. we're grateful for the safety committee for holding on upcoming issue on june 6th. i'd like to turn to over to the commissioner >> priority number 4. hi i'm rachel. we have a joint youth commission joint education committee the supervis supervisory body we worked to highlight the programming for students not on track to congratulate under the b are lgb requirements. we spoke about the importance of the educ
