. >> supervisor peskin: and the bayview. >> president breed: and the bayview, the reporter i reached out to, she is a small business owner with basically 1.5 employees, and the time that it takes to not only go through the process to provide a submission but also what the city requires to do business makes it very difficult for her to compete in this particular contract, and so she says that it's -- it's more of a burden than it's worth. and so that was the feedback that i got specifically from the sun reporter as to why they did not make a submission. but i do know that sing ta submitted, and i think the -- and i think that world journal submitted, as well. so again, i think that there's a problem here that we need to address. supervisor fewer? >> supervisor fewer: yes. i also mentioned this at the budget committee meeting, is that i noticed, also, that the richmond review wasn't there, and that the marina times was, and that i questioned that, and they said they had not submitted a proposal. so i -- i would thank you for actually asking about the process and whether or not that pro

i am staff at the bayview opera house. first of all i'd like to acknowledge that the task that you all have ahead of you, as far as listening to the voice of the people. along with that, i would invite you to budget the bayview opera house because it will increase the growth of creative expression, job opportunity and political expression that is well needed for the community. due to insufficient institution, there's a lack of expression that results in violence and crime within the s.f. community. i'm a witness on how the bayview opera house creates a normalized plateau for the performance and expression that reaches the community in a passionate and positive and purely artistic light. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> hello, supervisors. my name is kit, and i grew up and currently live in san francisco. i'm one of the 107 mental health workers works at r. a.m. h. for 40 years, we've provided d. ph a variety of mental health services. high schools, child care centers, and community mental health

i've been working in the bayview community for several weeks now, and if you didn't know, the bayview community has 40% of san francisco's homeless population but only six% of the services. there's only one shelter in the bayview community called providence, which was only meant to be a temporary shelter, which means that a majority of the elderly african-american homeless population sleeps overnight in the mother brown drop in centre on plastic chairs. all we are asking for his replacement shelter in the bayview. not an entirely new one, just a replacement for services that need to be there in the first place. that is part of the $14.7 million budget ask. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: next speaker. >> good afternoon. i am a student intern with the coalition on homelessness. i am asking the city to fund the initiative, $14.9 million in total, in order to provide absolutely necessary relief to the homeless community in san francisco. $20.7 million is currently spent on criminalizing the homeless, including a proposed $3 million to provide police with taser weapons. we need to ask our

i live in the bayview. i wanted to support the proposed budget items for the bayview opera house brick i have been with the bayview opera hudson's eyes fixed -- 15 years old which allowed me to learn a tremendous amount about art administrative work and bookkeeping. for the normal -- for the past for years i was able to build up a plethora of skills that i will be using for the rest of my life. i started as an intern in the summer of 2015 and i was hired as an assistant bookkeeper. these past three years i learned a lot about nonprofit bookkeeping and grants management. now that i am going off to college i expect to finance my education by working as a bookkeeper. that would not be possible if it was not for the bayview opera house. i think the additional funding will help inspire more people in our community by having more classes, events, internships which allow people to develop a deeper appreciation of the arts and culture. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank yo you. next speaker .-guessed please. >>
