we will continue to stand tall as a city, and stoned -- stand tall for exactly who we are as people andesidents in our city. you know, i want to acknowledge the contributions of our late mayor ed lee and the things he did for the lgbtq community as well. he founded the federal mayors against lgbtq discrimination organization. but he did so at the national level. he started the player. the first and its client in our entire country. and it has been a great source of pride as mayor to continue this legacy. last week, the supervisors and i announced that the city of san francisco and i will be backfilling the four-point $2 million for hiv and aids funding that a federal government cut. [applause] together with claire farley, we have created a transgender advisory committee here in san francisco. and legislation that our board of supervisors was proud to pass through and i was proud to sign. creating all gender bathrooms in our sros across a city of san francisco. and also signing legislation naming terminal one for harvey milk at our san francisco airport.

city. mission bay and it's entirety as a neighborhood has been cut off from the rest of the city. we believe we have a major opportunity to correct that. we could connect as many as six roads in the east-west direction between mission bay and dogpatch and the neighborhoods to the west and connect those neighborhoods to mission bay and the bay. for all those reasons, adds that one of the primary reasons for us taking on this study is to look at how we can get to the trains underground sooner and farther south than what has previously been proposed. so in that light, we of course as you know, i think, looked at three alignments. we initially had a fourth alignment week considered and rejected which was the alignment which would have threaded between the columns of the highway. that alignment proved to be infeasible. we looked at three scenarios. one is the existing which we called the future with surface rail, with one addition to that existing alignment, which was the trenching of the streets underneath the rail. if you recall, the proposal that had been put forward by high-speed ra

the seawall, as city administrator kelly said, is unseen, mostly. it's 100 years old and it's served our city and region very well over the last decade, but we now must make significant investment for the seawall to protect the next generation. this bond will strengthen the seawall, to protect the city from earthquake, address flood risk and provide current adaptation for sea level rise. staff has prepared the geobond describing the port program and the need for the funding. we'll make final edits to this report once the committee takes action today but before the bond legislation is introduced at the board of supervisors. so members of the public may be asking what is the seawall, and i'll say you're not alone. because it is unseen infrastructure. we all don't know about this work horse for us. it's three miles long. it stretches from fisherman's wharf in the north to mission creek in the south. the state of california built this infrastructure between 1870 to 1910, turning mud flats into a vibrant deep water port. during the construction, we reclai

for city build as a program, and i'm happy to provide further context on what city build is or does. it's a program that's been around for 12 years. it's the preapprenticeship program that provides pathways to career opportunities in construction, working with the building trades and union programs. i think it's really safe to say that the strength of the program, which is pretty universally recognized. i can't speak to the specific details of the proposal, just not having been part of the negotiations but generally the concept. we have plenty of projects which are public works where there's a project labor agreement that works well for us. particularly because city build, which brings in diverse candidates, men and women overcoming barriers to employment, formerly incarcerated workers, workers in the most disadvantaged neighborhoods, people most at risk for being left behind. public housing residents, folks we want to see engaged in this industry, which is at a peak never before seen in the city. the best pathway for our candidates to get on sites is through the program. it gets all

i am not afraid as the mayor of the city and county of san francisco to say how proud i am of the men and women of our police department. every day they are putting their lives on the line for us as san francisco residents, they deserve our respect and our gratitude. when we are so fortunate to have such dedicated men and women on our police department, we simply don't have enough of them today. san francisco is an ever changing city with ever changing neighborhoods. we cannot be bound by antequated staffing levels that do not reflect today's reality in our streets and in our neighborhoods. that is why today i am very proud to announce that my budget plan this year will include the addition of 250 new officers being deployed on the streets of san francisco. -- san francisco from our business department. in the fiscal year alone we will graduate 80 officers in the current academy classes, add 50 new academy recruits. we will also increase opportunity for promotions and shift highly trained civilians into positions that are currently being staffed by sworn members to allow them to be ou

it is so important at the rest of us, as a city stand with our lgbtq community. that is who we are as san francisco. along those lines, i want to make sure i let everyone know today, and announce officially, san francisco is joining with the rca of california and banning all business practices with the state of oklahoma. [cheers and applause] we ll not -- we will not, as a city, continue to tolerate other jurisdictions that discriminate upon our civil rights, and certainly with her lgbtq weill continue to stand tall as a city, and stoned -- stand tall for exactly who we are as people and residents in our city. you know, i want to acknowledge the contributions of our late mayor ed lee and the things he did for the lgbtq community as well. he founded the federal mayors against lgbtq discrimination organization. but he did so at the national level. he started the player. the first and its client in our entire country. and it has been a great source of pride as mayor to continue this legacy. last week, the supervisors and i announced that the city of san francisco and

city. and just as our city needs to be clean to thrive, it also needs to be safe. last year, we reported 31,000 car break-ins in san francisco. that's about one break-in every three hours on our street. that'sunacceptable. to the credit to our police department, they're doubled our foot patrols, creating a dedicated unit within the central police department, and increasing the burglary and serial crime units. year to date, car break-ins are down 20% in the city of san francisco, but we will not rest on our laurels here in approximate our city. this budget will reflect additional investments in our public safety departments. in particular, our police department to make sure we do not slip back. the center piece of this public safety goal is the addition of over 250 sworn police personnel over the next four years. i have often said that we have some of the p officers t we just need more of them. let me be even more specific. i believe we have incredible men and women of our police department. forey put the lives onhe s every s day, and they deserve our respect, and i

even if -- like many others in our fair city with some great, you know, we are not alone, ink, s far as city employees and city departments in having difficulty securing space. having said that, currently we deale g with the work load we with eati strategies, like i mentioned, more strategic planning around what can process without a hearing, how could wesimplify, we have had a board that's been very supportive. they have done away with process for the hardship icatplon. they streamlined it, made it eaer on staff.ants but also u r: rthan very much. >> thank you. >> supervisor cohen: all right, seeing this are no questions, we appreciate your presentation. >> thank you very much. hear fr the appeals next wewi board. >> good afternoon, my name is julie rosenb n rect of the board of appeals. as you are probably aware mr. goldstein retired six weeks ago so i moved over to the board of appeals from s.f.m.t.a. this current fiscal year and go over our budget proposals for >he next two years. supervisor cohen: ms. rosenberg, do you have a on my screen.or us? >> supervisor cohen: i'm sorry, you don't

and without the great response shown by the people of seoul again we as a city would never have coped and i think that is the message from solon we are more sensitive than others and we are more active in integrating the refugees that have come as we still need to face the challenges of our society just like other cities and regions but i think other cities need to reengage with this summer and we can't pretend that the battle against the far right is over incisions and all the perpetrators are now free. like me every day again she lost two children two grandchildren and a nice but she says there is no hatred in or arjen she continues to live in solinger i asked myself whether i could do that and decided i couldn't could you. then for calmly you are absolutely right and i think it's important to make clear to our viewers what actually happened here it is two of the five victims were just children. you know i have two sons and i don't know how i'd react if someone even i hurt them slightly will just the thought that something could happen to my children is so painful and then you think

resilience project around sea level rise in general and is actively involved as an educational partner to various projects around the city and hopes to be partner to the port in educating the public about sea level rise and about earthquakes. as a matter of fact, if you walk in the exploratorium, and youump right ntondouxhibit that can see tha just with a small jump, the seismic activit occurs. the bond mee.re in support of the exploratorium staff and visitors love our home on the waterfront. we'd like to be there for cades,f more to come, and we do welcome visitors from not just the bay area, but the entire state, the country, and beyond. the u.s. geological survey estimates that t chance of a 6.8 magnitude earthquake or greater striking the bay area in the next 25 years, and that represents in 1996 60 seconds of shaking long the fault and would severely test the infrastructure and the exploratorium itself. so given the importance of the embarcadero seawall and its infrastructure that it supports, it's vital that the city addresses these vital economic interests, among reasons. thanks so much. >> supervisor cohen: thank

a city of a quarter of a million people now lay virtually abandoned. early on october the twenty fourth just as the new cease fire was scheduled to start israeli tanks and power troops moved into the semi deserted city. but they soon encountered stiff resistance from a small city militia. the bill to help those tanks enter the city and ibrahim son a man hit the first of them to a man's shell went through the tank such as the driver's throat and stop the tank that was the first stack to stop in so race. so all the tanks and armored vehicles stopped after that one because it blocked the street while we knew very well as we did that if any tank stops in a city it becomes a mobile tomb so they abandon their tanks and ran to the nearby buildings where the where should be you know from. the israelis were driven from the city using eighty debt and one hundred twenty wounded. to this day destroyed israeli tanks remain a testimony to the courageous resistance in suez. despite this setback israel's disregard of the cease fire was buying it precious territory elsewhere causing consternation in moscow. so

performance measures that the city will move towards so part of developing goals and using data, you also have to develop bench marks and that council meeting we approved the bench marks we as a council and city will agree to move towards. >> i'd like to request those notices for those meetings be given out a little bit earlier and i don't think my office even received, as you know, i agent o --author this. my office would like to keep informed with the progress because this is really important for us to get this done. it's been a while and i'm struggling with other collaborations like this in the city where it goes nowhere or takes forever. more recently we talked about justice. data sharing of several departments and it's been 15 years they come to us and say we're still working on our first goal after 15 years. i don't want to hear that about ocof. hopefully our children are much more important and we get it going and i really am depending on your leadership to help with this. >> y yes. a apologize our notices have not reached the members of the supervisor and i will make sure the council staff knows that. and i agree, i agree, these are very important data and they're v
