we have a tenfold job here in the bayview.e want you to join us because we have big plans in collaboration with our mayor, supervisors, but the other merchants in other districts here to make this one of the safest neighborhoods in san francisco. we want you to feel that you can come down and shop and eat and have a good time, as if you were going on union street. our job is to make sure that you are safe, having fun when you come to visit us, and make you want to come back and bring people with you. thank you so much. [applause] >> first of all, i want to thank you, mayor lee, andrea baker, for all of your hard work. [applause] from the bottom of my heart, i am very excited to move to this neighborhood. also, this is a long-term dedication. it may not happen over a year. it will be a solid, simmering good movement that will change the way we eat around here and the way we live. for example, i do not know if you saw the garden over there. we are growing some vegetables and grains. some of did you will probably be eating today.

. >> i am a mother of bayview hunters point. i can see how people feel intimidated to express the reality of what is going on. what i find shocking is the first time i asked anyone on the board of representatives the question of whether there would put the wellness children's program a block away from a sewage plant of a company that has no barrier, since 1952 has not been prepared? the stench in bayview hunters point is nitrogen oxide, which is a poison chemical that has been all over bayview neighborhood since 1952, causing us to have cancer and asthma. causing us to die. what i find shocking is you just passed an ordinance to have a wellness clinics for children within one block without doing an environmental study. california pacific medical center is going to be building this. i find it shocking. why didn't you do the research to find out there was no study done? this is a block away from a sewage plant, a toxic environment. we know this is true. you have just been allocated $300 billion, or was it $300 million, to have the

zone, the bayview neighborhoods and communities. even though it is as hard as everybody has explained it to be, this is one of those decisions where we are all torn, and after all of these considerations, particularly the idea that this is something that is about equity, not that i have come to the conclusion that i am going to support this the way it is. thank you. president yee: so let me wrap this up. like my colleagues, this is a tough decision. i had to think about what the rationale of all of this is, and had to go back into whenever it started, the school board, which this is my eighth year. some of the years that we spoke about when i first got yeahere n year one or the same schools we're talking about basically, and the staff in the schools was the issue. many of the teachers that were in the schools were first and second year teachers and so forth. and in looking at the data, i did not look that heavily in terms of first year, said it your teachers, but had a history of looking at this stuff and it has not changed that muc

and i love the bayview. i love the portal. as a resident of bayview, they do not seem like the same to neighborhoods to me. that is my own personal opinion after living there for 10 years. i identify myself as a baby -- bayview hunters point resident. when i go downtown i take the tea. i am waiting for the new library to be built which will be great and if there are community meetings i am interested in, they're in the bayview so that is where i am coming from. that is where my community of interest lies. the geographical barriers of the freeways to me create -- it seems odd to me to try and overcome those geographic barriers that have been there for years by making their movement -- that is all i want to say. >> i live and work in district 6 and i have some specific feedback tonight about what you have done in the current plan to district 6. there has been a lot of public feedback from folks who live in the tenderloin who want the district building to remain at post street. we are talking about a lot of people. what the task

>> i live in bayview. i am the president of bayview residents improving their and our rent. we have members who took off work to come speak to you about a particular concern which is 4801 third street. i should mention this picture has changed. dbi has had this building many times. it has been an eyesore for many years. it is right in the city center. and the plaza is a bit of a misnomer itself. it as a city street, which is a whole nother problem. right around the plaza, the city has spent $38 million to improve the area. opera house, which is the jewel of the bayview and right next to it. $38 million around the vicinity to improve the bayview, but you do not notice the beautiful infrastructure, because all it goes to is the structure, right in the center of the plaza. it has been there for over 20 years. the department has taken back fines put on the family. i believe like $6,000 worth that were put on the family. congratulations, mr. mccarthy. it is a good day to be here to ask you to put this at the top of your agenda. and i know what you were mentioning earlier, code en

i believe officials are letting down the bayview hunters point. i say the san francisco 49ers are not leaving, because this racist deal between big corporations will fall apart. i am putting all of you on notice for the fact that you have my contact. i would appreciate it, if you read the material i gave you and understand racism should not stand, period. president chiu: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am a member of americans for safe access. i am here presenting asset united, which is a new coalition of patience, dispensary owners, and concerned citizens. as a medical cannabis advocate, i am here to ask you to take action and defensive access, and also to let you know we have developed a list, and we will make sure you received that at your offices soon. i will not read all of them, but i wanted to go over a couple. one is to direct the city attorney to the -- to refuse all requests for public information if it is not already available publicly. the other is to introduce and pass an amendment to article 33, establishing an emergenc

we will get there with the bayview and north beach library. they will be completed because we have wonderful public works managers on top of that. we have the chinese recreation center that is about to be completed with rec and park. we have a number of fire stations that are part of the whole public safety program, again it reflected in the 10- year capital infrastructure plan. i want to note that public works, while being one of the most important infrastructure departments, has also, over the years, had leadership that have collaborated with public utilities commission, with the port, with the airport, where it muni so that it is part of the official city family of doing things. i know that ed reiskin appreciates this collaboration, because that is how we get a lot of things done. it is not just the construction departments that we collaborate with. we are collaborating with our police department, with our human services department, with all the other agencies that need to get involved. when we do that on the front end, we get even better r

[applause] i want to thank the bayview merchants association. thank you for constantly working with us here and making sure we do the right thing and communicate with all the people and not let go. i want to thank our police department. the captain is here. he is working with everybody thank you for being here. [applause] askinder is very worldly. he knows what is happening in our city and in this neighborhood. he is investing in an neighborhood he knows very well and investing in people. that is what makes a great menu, if i can put that connection together. a menu that will be reflective of the health of this neighborhood. it will get us involved. it will get the contractors involved. some are down here working in the bayview, along with the contractors and vendors throughout this corridor. he is working with mohammed nuru who is here as well with dpw. he is working with our city administrator noami kelly, who is also here. we're all here in collaboration to make sure that you know city hall is going to continue putting resources in. we are re

the bayview is approximately over 60% right now. the first store we opened, we had to work with the city on that one. >> karen johnston. the first store was on -- under a first source hiring agreement. we worked with the office with -- for our hiring commitments on that location and that was the same case for the bayview store. since that time, we partnered with ycd to keep our local numbers of. that is our community hiring partner on going in the bayview. commissioner wu: do have specific numbers about how many of the current staff are locals? >> i know for 32nd and comment -- clement, it was tougher than that the code. our partners try to get that number up -- tried to get that number up. we have hovered around 60%. that is in the 94124. and it is higher for san franciscans. >> can i follow up on that? we have some testimony here that says in the richmond district you promised 50% and that percent is much lower according to -- >> that was a tough one to get that specific zip code and it was due to the applicant pool. that was init

. -- in the bayview. severing that service would be possible. >> this does not address the special education. with respect to james lick, our middle school feeder pattern does include bret hart feeding into james lick. that feeder pattern would need to be supported. >> i understand, but presumably there would be more than six kids on the bus. my other question is, on page 23, what does other mean? where are we taking 658 kids after school not to an early elementary school, a middle school, or an after-school device? >> and there would be going to neighborhood stops around the city that are not identified with a day care. commissioner wynns: 10 we just drop them -- we just drop them off someplace, not a street corner? >> and that is correct. commissioner wynns: that is crazy. >> areas of the city were assigned specific schools. some stocks were put at neighborhood locations convenient for the parents. those stocks have remained -- those stops have remained through the various changes in transportation. com

who do agriculture in bayview and are getting feedback. thinking about what makes sense for that site. there are several community gardens existing in that community. we are in conversation with the different organizations there to get a sense of does it make sense to have a traditional community garden on that side, or is there something we could doing on the continuum of supporting urban agriculture on that site? there is a place where people get compost or pick up different tools. we continue to have conversations with the stakeholders and the idea is we will be conducting open houses for that site in the next few months to facilitate feedback that would be incorporated into the request for proposals that would be released. wrapping up, the next steps as we move forward will continue to solicit feedback regarding the pilot program and determining the best use for those sites. we will require that any operational partners use the most susceptible gardening practices and the work with the community throughout the process as they get the s

i was born and raised in the bayview hunters point. i'm am a part of what was called the 9916 program. i was quite blessed to be born and raised here, also to have a job to turn into a career here. now, the question i have for the commissioners and for the public here, do you really believe that the seven applicants every two years for a waste-water facility of that size is acceptable? i don't think so. i do think that the program can use some improvements. that is not the real problem. what we need to do as a community is to speak with the puc and have them understand. as that plan progressives, multimillion-dollar is are being sent there. you are right, millions. that is all fine and well. the problem remains the same. as this facility develops, the program should also. i started in 1982. i was the third class to come through. we started with 10 people. over the years, the program has gone down to 3, 4, 5. now we are at 7. the people are coming through are good candidates. that is not the problem. the problem still remains the same.

we have folks in bayview only talking with and a small corner of the bayview merchant quarter.e don't have people talking to the potrero hill association. all of these different fragmented conversations are happening. there largely talking about the same thing, crime, keeping streets clean, businesses, supporting small businesses, maintaining and making sure the city is livable for everyone. no one really looked to their neighbors. they stayed within their neighborhood, but did not reach beyond the boundaries. that is one thing i saw that i actually made a concerted effort on the campaign to build bridges. for me, that goes beyond the neighborhood. it goes to connecting the southeast to the large part of san francisco, wake up, we're out here. we want bike paths, dog parks, open space. we no longer want to have a neighborhood or a reputation of a crime-filled community. the other thing that i learned is really, we are all human. how to connect with that spirit, whether you're living in public housing, owning your own property, your asian, african american, we are all one. we ar

we have an application pending for the bayview store. during the start of phase of our business, california has had a moratorium. the first was put in place in 2009. that went through to the end of 2009. in 2010, they lifted it. that is when we started applying. it is not an even process, and it is a long process. when we were developing our plan to roll out, the state imposed another moratorium last year. there were going to list it at the end of february. they put out an alert that said it was continued. i have all the alerts hear from the california wic program. i feel passionately about this. if we are going to go into underserved neighborhoods, it is something we have to have, which the community wants. it is not our policy to not accept wic. i want to make that clear. when love to partner with schools. we have a shop for schools program that starts, i think, in september. it runs through the end of the year. all schools within the radius of our stores can register. $1 of every $20 spent goes directly to that school. the parents can

we serve district 10 residents, particularly in the bayview hunters point and potrero hill. i am here to encourage this task force to keep the portola intacrt. -- intact. que>> i am the program manager. currently the district is located in district 10. it appears district 10 gets the kind of attention that is detrimental to community growth and sustainability. this appears to be another instance of dividing a community. the political strength. and it's socio-economic minority base. again, redistricting is supposed to be based on population. considering the population growth, there are other areas in the city to be considered. i invite you to please at some point in time to take a walk in the beautiful district. it is really quite something. thank you. vice-chair lam: thank you, next speaker. >> i am the jacket -- executive director of the [unintelligible] office here. that includes voter education, voter registration and get-out- the-vote efforts. i focus on the bayview hunters point, potrero hill, and visitation valley communities all of which border this community. i will

it is pretty high for bayview. so, bayview is 73.61 in terms of indexes and need. this is out of 100. supervisor chu: i think that that would be helpful for us to get a copy of. that is information we are all interested in. i wanted to comment, in terms of the map of being put up earlier, i am not really pleased, but i am glad that there is a recognition that there is a need in sunset. we have long been talking about the seven kids out there, the folks that do not really get the services. ironclad to see that there is a recognition of the level of need. supervisor chuthere are actuallf children out there. supervisor cohen: i have one more question, that i am done. i am glad that we are able to use data to map out needs it, it is incredibly important as we branch out future funding as the cycle comes up to allocate where needed. i assume that we're working closely with a school district, just making sure that we are enhancing and leveraging as well. i know that it is often hard for agencies to share information and i am curious how you called data from page essay, b

[laughter] however, i love my san francisco, i loved bayview hunters point. the fact that i am among these women is astounding. the way i view things, each one of us have a responsibility to our neighborhoods and to our city. it takes all of us to make our neighborhoods work, to make our cities work. i hope you will understand that we still need you to come to the meetings, give us the input, now there will no longer have redevelopment, we are creating a whole new system and we need you there in order for us to go forward and continue to be a marvelous city. having travelled to other places, i was thinking this morning, san francisco is my first choice. if i was living outside of the country, florence, italy, would be my special choice. if i was living in the southern parts, where i was born and raised, i would say miami, fla., would be my choice. but taken from all those troubles, coming back to san francisco, being on different cac groups and being able to cooperate some of the things you learned in your travels, i find that that just helps to create a bett

these are the types of conversations we have to have, like we did with the schools in the bayview last year, talking about turning them around. we fought parents about what they felt was a good school. they're now saying -- seeing that there is a better way of looking at our schools and that there are true improvements that can happen. as a parent who has gone to two schools where turnover was just part of what we do, and where we have seen arcade's challenged -- where we have seen our kids challenged every day because of the instability,. leaders have not to this day been able to ask for stability in schools that have been meeting at the most for so long. -- that have been needing it the most for us so long. we talk about functional justice for some, but social justice for some has

if you were going to look at bayview, 87% of the houses on bayview would be affordable to someone at 120% a year my -- ami. the housing pricesn the southeast part of the city are lower than the rest of the city. it parallels, in a way, from the choices those in san francisco have to make. do i live in the city? if i do, what neighborhood do i live in? or do i choose not to live in the city? do i want to live in san mateo? we know the affordability gap has decreased, meaning housing prices have gone down a little bit. it is not quite as hard to buy a home. the affordability gap has decreased more dramatically in every county that surrounds san francisco. it is even a little cheaper than it was 10 years ago. it is a far better deal to go to sonoma. those are trade-offs. chairperson farrell: if you keep that chart up -- methodology -- because nobody really pays on home ownership 33% in the city -- it is nice to think about, but i do not think it is reality. if you put it at 50%, is that a linear chart? do those bubbles grow together? or does it look different? >> it would be roughly equ
