separately this year with the intent and hoping of driving competition, and i think we were successful as a city in doing that. we did receive four bids on the current contract. and the lowest bidder on this was a firm by the name of western states oil, and now as my office is proposing that we enter into a three year contract with western states oil with a not to exceed amount of $40 million. >> president cohen: okay. all right. have you -- are you understand -- have reviewed the budget legislative analyst's recommendations? >> yes. >> president cohen: okay. i'm going to pivot to her, i'm going to listen to her recommendations, and i hope that you'll be in agreement, but if not, we can talk about it. >> okay. >> president cohen: okay. >> good morning, chair cohen, members of the committee. severin campbell. we are estimating expenditures of 32 million, rather than 42 million under the proposed contract. and the reason is the city's policy is to actually reduce the use of fuel based vehicles and equipment and to go towards more fuel efficient or zero emission equipment and vehicles. so our estim

i'm a member of the film commission but i'd like to talk as a member of the city. thank you so much for the grant. obviously i as a tax paying resident of the city, i feel it is really a good return on investment, and i think that's a lot what budgeting is about. you all know the statistics very well, so that's fantastic. i just want to point out in 2018, many counties within the state of california has this type of program, so it's very important that we remain competitive in this business, and thank you for your support. >> president cohen: all right. people come on up if you're speaking, quickly. come on up. cue up. >> so -- just pull the microphone to your mouth. >> good morning. my name is kathrin howell, and i am an actor. >> president cohen: so am i -- just kidding. see? i was convincing. >> well, it's my life's work. it's what i majored in in college, it's what i have a degree in, and it's what i've been pursuing for decades, ever since, including higher learning. as a matter of fact, the way i came to be a san franciscan is in 1974, i got a full scholarship

as a city, we are sending a message that every sexual assault and every sexual harassment survivor deserves respect. the office of sexual harassment and assault response and prevention will address complaints about city department failures, it will promote transparency, and it'll develop policies to improve systemic responses to sexual assault and sexual harassment in san francisco. the creation of this office would not have been possible without the brave survivors that have come forward to share their stories and that have collaborated from day one with my office to prevent more survivors from going through this nightmare. i want to give a very, very special thanks to six women who brought this to my attention, who brainstormed solutions, and then who led the effort to get the word out and fight. one of them is here with us today, jane doe, thank you so much for everything that you've done to fight to make change after experiencing an unimaginable horrific crime. i can't tell you how much you've moved me and how much you've done to turn one of the worst situations in your entire life into

but today we have -- what affects us as a city and as san francisco as a city is the fact that the institution of racism has been generated from washington, in many ways. when you take a look at the acts that are being treated, the fact that, if he knew as a san francisco, with your child, to go into another country and to check into the airport and have your passport or have your child be removed from you, and not see that child for two months, or three months, and you are putting another room and you end up in a detention centre or in some cases, you are picking your child at school, here in san francisco, and some visitors come and take you away, and your kids, and your wife, many of whom are veterans, vietnam veterans. korean veterans. veterans of afghanistan. men and women of color who have served. this is going on in the bay area it is going on in california. is going on in the nation. the department of public health, this department is involved in a lot of these activities and ought to take care of our most vulnerable. we have to weigh that in the context of our mission as a city i real

city transportation related greenhouse grass emissions. you are getting a disproportionate benefit when you ride muni as opposed to driving in the car particularly if it is not a zero admission car. that is reflective of that investment we made as a city over the years since we were founded more than 100 years ago. it is a good fit for the global climate action summit. we hope those participants ride muni while they are here. finally, before the summit this weekend is the seventh annual muni heritage weekend, produced in collaboration with market street railway. it will be held from noon to 5:00 saturday and sunday across from the ferry building. we will have a lot of old vehicles out on display. rail vehicles, buses and many will be available and will be operate anything the afternoon on saturday and sunday. we encourage folks to come out. it is a great opportunity to reflect on and appreciate the great history that we have that is living history in terms of the rolling stock that still moves people to this day. we hope to see everyone on saturday and sunday afternoon across from the ferry building. that concludes my report. >> thank you very m

city, that this is an issue. we had been working with h.s.h. to resolve the issue. we've been before the engineering board as well. the issue keeps coming up and there's not a solution that the city is working on. you cannot just put more signs up. it's illogical. it will not alleviate the problem. it will exacerbate problems. we need to work as a city to address this and h.s.h. needs to be on board and m.t.a. needs to be on board for innovative solutions, that will be sustainable, that will affect our neighbors, that will relieve curbside concerns. i think these complaints coming to the supervisors' office should not override the well-being and the right to park in the public streets. i think that's a right that you should share. that the streets are public. that designating certain streets for certain people, and it's because of their economic status. even though we heard that before, it's because of who they are and what they're doing and being homeless. so, again, we're asking you to not expand this. to allow us the time to work with the city and implore the directors to come up with solutions or listen to our previous solutions, which have been on the

this would showcase all of the things that we as a city and a county are proud of. when i use the word "city" and county, 13 other agencies joined our meetings to discuss this conference or this summit, sorry. we had sftsa, and the m.t.a. okay. we wanted to share the things that we were really proud of. this is one vehicle for us to be able to did that. that was something that was really important in advance of the conference. we wanted people to come here and to understand a glimpse, a taste, of sustainability coming to life in san francisco. in advance as i was mentioning before we wanted to put our best foot forward. so we joined d.p.w. with their "love our city" campaign. this is the saturday before we were out on the streets with thousands or hundreds of volunteers across the city and picking up litter and making our city, loving our city. and importantly when delegates got off the plane they were welcomed to s.f.o. with messaging and welcomed and there were light poles across the city. but we as a department wanted to take more of a personal touch. so we spent

city. the street violence intervention program is a tool that we as a city continually invest in. we use it as a tool to continue to build community trust. we as a city have been investing more time and energy as we build out this program. it's heartbreaking to stand here at this moment and in this time to acknowledge the loss of our -- one of our own. the family -- the family members that are here and are not here are grieving the loss of this wonderful human being. they laid him to rest over the weekend. joe was recently honored with the status of chief, tamolau, is that right? as a chief, he sought to learn, and most importantly, to celebrate the samoan culture and pass it onto the next generation. joe leaves behind his wife, mali -- is mali here today? and mali and joe together have a beautiful two-year-old daughter named jodi. and i hope that we as a community will continue to uplift and embrace jodi and share with jodi our own fond memories of jungle so that she will grow up to know the man that we knew. joe "jungle" will be truly missed. the city of san francisco has lost a

qualifications and duties of employees of the office of sexual harassment and assault response and prevention as a city department under the direction and oversight of the human rights commission. >> president cohen: thank you. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: thank you, president cohen. colleagues, i along with all of you received a five-page letter today from the municipal attorney's association at 11:45, asking us to postpone the second vote on this legislation and i quote, within which the speed the item has been moved through the board of supervisors. before i discuss the content of their argument, why they're asking for the postponement, i just wanted to talk about how long this piece of legislation has been before us. i first introduced the legislation on may 8 of -- about five months ago, and a month earlier, i had held a hearing at the board of supervisors where woman after woman came forward who was assaulted and had a horrible experience dealing with the city and county of san francisco. whether it was the police department, the d.a.'s office, sometimes even at general hospital. and th

as a city kid, you kind of dream about this moment. i'm trying to live up to the expectations that my family and community have set for me. and i was raised in north beach, where in the 1980s that working class children of many races played and got into trouble together. it was special about my childhood that it was very public. we were in front of our apartments at all hours of the day and night. on the sidewalks, alleyways, blacktops, playgrounds, library, swimming pool. and it felt like everyone knew each other. and my neighborhood was home and my friends and i were raised by tough and caring adults that showed us how to take care of each other in community. and i grew more empowered by every teacher that looked me in the eye and told me the truth, counselled me when i needed it, challenged me when i deserved it. if an adult takes the time to show you that if you have something special to offer your community, you will believe it. and it will be your mission to do the same. i had incredibly warm, demanding role models in my rec cent

i agree, i think it was well put this is a once-in-a-generation opportunity that we have as a city to take on what continues to be the most devastating crisis and shame that we have as a city. this is definitely a school district issue for all the reasons that the folks who spoke tonight put so well. we have 1 in 25 of our students who are identified as homeless. the impact this has on our schools, on our kids, on our families, cannot be quantified. and is really immeasurable. we have opportunity with this measure to not just address the broader issue of homelessness in our city, but to actually address child and family homelessness. as i noted in the resolution, there is a significant part of this funding that would go to address family homelessness and it's perfectly aligned with the work we've been doing. a couple of months ago we passed a resolution formulating a new approach to how we support homeless students, committing our own resources, potentially our own land. being really a first responder to make sure that families that are in danger of becoming homeless get the support t

help of none other than diego marat don the argentinian legend has limited experience as a coach but for locals in a city in the heart of an area controlled by drug cartels his arrival offers a ray of hope. for the kids of. a chance to celebrate best city. rarely do the residents here read positive headlines about their home. c.n.n.'s going to c.n.n. as a city when one for negative things now will be known for sports or them. but diego maradona himself of course is known for much more than just his sporting achievements and there are concerns that this may just be a nutritive publicity stunt. an unproven coach here nonetheless be paid a reported one hundred and fifty thousand u.s. dollars a month by dorados a second tier club whose players complain of missed paychecks still the fans are hopeful that new. york we want him to remain clean to coach to give it all for the team and for him to vindicate his name because unfortunately from what we keep reading there's a lot of talk about all the addiction he's had and how they're not going to allow him to properly coach the team. maradona to sounds hopeful abou

the office is in support of the legislation with a few -- with a reminder that we, together, as a cityfamily, adopted the san francisco city-wide plan for early care and education with a very collaborative process. in 2016. and all of the elements of this legislation and the initiative aligned fully with established plans and goals, particularly the goal of our time to move to pay parity for early care and education professionals, both working in family childcare homes and centers. we share a great urgency about the unmet needs of children of families, of professionals with regard to access to quality and affordable early care and education. and we're committed to make the very most of this incredible opportunity to move our city forward on behalf of the constituency we serve. the comment about the additional time given urgency, our rationale, we really want to meet the legislation charge to have the most collaborative, transparent and involved process, particularly bringing the conversation and the opportunity to parents who are very busy and professionals running family childcare hom

as a result, we have worked very, very hard, as you are probably a little bit aware. some of the people from the city have been there regularly. and we really are in support of this because we see that the needs of the community are not being met appropriately, as a result of -- i guess it's district envy. we see how c.b.d.s operate in other areas around us and we see the benefits that they give to the community. we would like those benefits too. with your help, we will be able to move this forward and get the support of the city for the seemingly large portion of properties that are under the city and county federal. thank you so much. >> my name is brendan tobin. i've been helping with coordinating a lot of the efforts in collecting petitions and doing public outreach, through mail, e-mail and other avs. i just wanted to reiterate, when drawing the boundaries, we very intentionally chose to encompass the area on both sides of the freeway, including the hall of justice and many of the other city buildings. we wanted to properly address all of those areas on the margins where problems accumulate and

difficult because of exorbitant cost of housing in san francisco we have gone from a city, when i first moved here and 71 as a working-class city, to a city of have and have-nots. trickle down housing will allow teachers and students and families to afford to live here, it was badly mistaken. we need government to step up and provide security, housing security for working-class and middle-class san franciscans. it remains to be said that we have, at least 2500 homeless students in san francisco. most people who are on the streets are living in the city. many of them were tenants. please support prop ten. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is alex. i was here for an unrelated matter. i am a san francisco resident and a small property owner. i own a two unit building where i live with my family and we rent out a ute lower unit studio i wanted to say, -- we rent out a lower unit studio. we support prop ten and we support proposition c. it is important to protect the most vulnerable proposition -- of vulnerable populations. rent control has been absolutely not a problem for us as small landlords

if we as a city can't restore order in a public place, then there's a problem there. we're concentrating and focusing there right now, but that's not to say that the other things that are happening in the tenderloin won't be addresses because we still have the other sector car officers, the other foot beat officers that are still doing what they do. also, there's a healthy street zone that encompasses some of the tenderloin. it's going to take time. it's not going to change over night, but we're committed and we do have a strategy. conceptually, the model, we believe is really paying dividends. and so that's what we're going to be moving forward to assist all of the other things that are happening in the tenderloin. >> commissioner hamasaki: i think it's good to hear again and good for the community to hear about the sort of multipronged approach that you're taking to deal with the challenges that arise out of this jurisdiction and within the -- as well as the opioid crisis. so thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. >> commissioner mazzucco: commissioner dejesus. >> c

we, as a city clearly need to send a strong message. we hear you, we are here for you and will do everything we can to put the resources necessary to make sure that we don't just pass legislation to make an office like this possible. we actually passed the budget allocation to support the success of this office. i want to thank all of my colleagues who are here. every member of the board of supervisors was a sponsor of this legislation. every member of the board of supervisors thought for and voted to support the funding to make this office a success. i also would like to take this opportunity to address cheryl davis from the san francisco human rights commission. she's not here today but she will be leading the charge in this effort, because we know that she focuses on issues around human rights and equity and things that matter. this clearly matters to the city and county of san francisco, which is why we are putting it at the forefront of the human rights commission. i am grateful to cheryl for her leadership. thank you to all the co
