i hope that provides a good overview. >> chair melgar: understood. sounds like it's complaint driven. vice chair preston's point, sometimes complaints are usually for folks know the system. we're kind of setting up something. i wonder if we shouldn't proactively put the m.t.a. in some kind of role here in terms improving temporary sidewalks or have you have some signoff on it. >> thank you, chair melgar. i'm so delighted to point out that our colleague, can speak more about how we are engaged on that effort. >> good afternoon. the m.t.a. does have a regulatory role in terms of the right-of-way. there's a document that's on our website called the bluebook. it's construction manual that indicates the construction companies both private and public. the things they can do on the roadway. it prohibits closing streets and sidewalks without a permit. it regulates also the safe path of travel of pedestrians through the public right-of-way. obviously we work closely with public works when they do need to give a building permission to occupy the sidewalk. that

we can talk about it tomorrow in closed session if it is appropriate. >> chair melgar. >> supervisor melgar: thank you. i had a question. there are other municipalities around the state that provide public power. i wonder if they have the same issues with pg&e if they are targeted as well. if there is an effort to band to do something along the lines what supervisor peskin was questioning about. i will leave that for closed session with respect to the treatment of our municipalities. san francisco as they were reading from that case. san francisco is different. we don't have a standalone service territory as a publicly owned utility. we serve customers right next door to pg and e. we serve that and a third of the bank. we don't have a grid of our own. that is the way the system was built out over the decades. we don't have a fellowship with other municipal utilities who have clear boundaries between geographic boundaries between their territory and the territory. >> their boundary is the entire island. >> no pg&e electric. >> thank you. if we quantify how much this costs us? >> we hav

thank you chair melgar, vice peskin and supervisor preston for your time. so i'm actually going to -- we've got two other folks from scoot here. our operations manager and brian bucell our vice president of consumer products to jump into these questions pretty thoroughly. i was going to haveryia come in and how we track our violations separate from the 311s. how do we track sidewalk riding and then also brian will jump in and talk about the sidewalk technology that we demoed on wednesday and specifically supervisor peskin, to your question about alerts and how the vehicle will behave on the sidewalk and that sort of thing. so without further adieu and we'll bring in real posada. >> good afternoon, supervisors. so i'll run through first-time parking violations and to where they have occurred in the past and then i'll pass it to brian. so looking at how we track parking violations, we review our ride end photos. we require our riders of how did they park and then we review them. on that screen where a rider takes a photo, it says if you do not park properly a

. >> clerk: chair melgar, can i make a quick comment. to further highlight this family's connection to casa sanchez, you can pretty much find marta any day of the week at the testing/vaccine site at cap and 24th street. she was there when i got my shots, when my daughter got her shots, when we got tested. it's this family's connection to the mission community and to the area in particular is profound and long lasting. so community serving. marta, thank you for your community work. >> in fact, i just saw her yesterday. >> clerk: one more caller in the queue. let's take that caller. >> this is the founding member of the san francisco historical society. we are in the final [indiscernible] input from members and the city spanned over 60 years who are documenting the san francisco latino community history in first voice. i note the community has been a voice in this community for over 150. casa sanchez was one of those businesses. by approval the landmarking of casa sanchez, it will be one of the first properties in san francisco to be liste

we are 100%, chair melgar and i had these conversations.erned about equity in the distribution and planting of trees and protection of trees. it is one of the reasons i came into office with a mandate and made it a top priority to plant over 2000 trees in an area of the city that has the highest diversity of any other part of san francisco. to ensure that there is access to the wonderful canopy environment that is part of san francisco. we are trying our best to achieve some of that here. the other thing is unfortunately folks, and i have witnessed it myself. we have trees that are hazardous and can cause significant damage to the health and safety of our citizens. i can tell you, two winters ago there was a debate in the city about our ficus. we made the decision for every commercial corridor to plant ficus. what we didn't do is create enough of a base for the roots of the trees. what happens they become extremely top-heavy and if they don't have the proper space for roots to grow, they topple. i can tell you i witnessed myself a beautiful

vice chair safai. >> aye. >> chair melgar. >> aye. >> chair ronen. >> aye. >> you have three ayes. >> thank you again everyone. enjoy did rest of your day and your weekend. please read item 2. >> thank you, chair. i have to excuse myself. if you would make a motion i would appreciate it. thank you for your time today. i appreciate the leeway. this was a really important hearing. >> thank you. can you please read item 2. resolution urging department of youth and families to require all organizations and funding from dcyf for youth 14 years old by 2023. >> i don't think that is item 2. >> that is an old script. >> hearing to discuss plans for senate bill 823 which closes california's division of juvenile justice and realigns to the county's responsibility to house young people who commit the most serious offenses and requesting information on plans and strategies for youth ordered to probation supervision in the community. >> on the motion to excuse supervisor safai. >> aye. >> chair reason nan. >> aye. >> you have two ayes. >> thank you. i am sorry for the wait. thank you for your pati

vice chair mandelman, the floor is yours. >> thank you chair peskin and i want to thank supervisor melgar and supervisor ronen on your work on this charter amendment. we're going to talk about many amendments that think of the proper amendments between the chair and the board of supervisors. i think the conversation we just had is related to this. i think we all agree that although we love this city and we are proud of the many things that the city does well and our city government does well, that city government is failing to deliver services to our residents in the way we want to see that happen. i think that you know, whether i'm supporting them or not, the measures that are being considered today are efforts to try to figure out a way to make san francisco city government a government we can be proud of and serves people not only without corruption, but efficiently and effectively. and i think that i am supporting this charter amendment. i think that from my perspective, it's the beginning -- and i believe that supervisor melgar shares this view. she may have said something like this.

i'm supervisor ronen and we're joined by our vice chair safai and supervisor melgar and our clerk is erica major. we recently learned that students have organized and are meeting in action to protest sexual harassment and assault that is expected to march to and rally at

that would be great. >> chair: thank you, supervisor melgar.am clerk. >> clerk: can you please play the video. thank you. >> happy new year. >> hi, i am michael yu, a senior from abraham lincoln high school. >> i'm gwen, michael's mom. >> thank you so much for the commendation. i am truly humbled and honored to receive this. community service projects give me a chance to meet different people and to learn interesting and new things. i think it is important to help each other and to make our world a better place. i would highly encourage everyone to find time to get involved in something they believe in. to me community service is fun and rewarding. >> good job, michael. it is important for young people to find opportunities to learn new skills not taught in the classroom. when you're involved in something bigger than yourself or helping someone in need, you will need to be passionate, empathetic, and tolerant. >> i was excited when the department of health was partnering up with our school district to set up vaccination clinics across san franc

melgar: tom palino. >> chairman: is mr. palino available. >> good morning, mr. chair and member officer the rules committee. as far as from the mayor's office i believe or i believe supervisor melgar may be introducing some amendments today, but as far as my colleague maria sue, i'm not seeing on the line today, but if there are questions you may have, if you give me a minute i'm happy to connect with her to get her on. >> chairman: i will look on the participant list to see if ms. sue is available. why don't we go -- i don't see ms. sue. why don't we go to the first cosponsor and i know supervisor ronen wants to speak. the way we're going to do all six of these is to start with a sponsor for presentation in so far as the mayor's office is deferring to supervisor melgar and so far she is listed as the first cosponsor, why don't we go to supervisor melgar. >> supervisor melgar: thank you so much, chair peskin and colleagues for putting this on the agenda early on. as i'm sure you are aware, there have been many member officer the public and stakeholders who have weighed in on this proposed charter amendment.

i do think that chair safai wanted to say something and supervisor melgar would you mind running the hearing. >> thank you chair ronen. to you, vice chair safai. >> supervisor safai: thank you supervisor melgar for calling this hearing. you and i have had conversations. one thing i think the city could benefit from right now and the school district in particular as you pointed out. we have resources, know how track record of really dealing with this crisis. i think up until this most recent surge we have done a phenomenal job as a country. as you said this caught us off guard in some ways our kids in our classrooms and not just limited to there but the entire city is suffering right now. people are being asked to adjust schedules. people are asked to stay home and be with their kids. we are constantly getting e-mails saying your kid has been exposed. if you are vaccinated stay home, test on fifth day. are you getting a test? how? there is a short supply right now. this meeting is timely. as you have pointed out i want to recognize the hard work for the district and teachersdown and la

melgar. why don't we go to committee members and then we will go to supervisor ronen and supervisor chen. >> thank you, chair peskin. i really want to thank supervisor melgar and supervisor ronen for their leadership and for all the hard work that they have put in. not just for this measure, but really for our kids and families, especially during the last two years during the pandemic. i have said this before and i will say it again. i am coming in more as a point of view as a former sfusd student, and now a mom of a public elementary school student to is a third grader, and having that experience in the last two years during the pandemic has been really hard on all of our kids and families. with that, i do understand the spirit -- the spirit and the intensity of this measure. it is ultimately really an example of the frustration that we all have experienced as city leaders and parents and guardians of the kids of our sfusd in early education. i understand the intent of this measure. i agree with it. we need to find solutions, we need to have accountability. however, what i do not agree with is the approach

chair of the membership committee has some potential candidates. they've been doing an excellent job in finding candidates amongst people that she's worked with in the aging and care realm. >> we know that supervisor melgar has a candidate, but we have not heard, and again there is no responses from the other candidates. we'll continue to work. our goal is to start calling their offices. once they open up -- or when they open up, possibly going and trying to make appointments to meet with them. as we noted before, executive director dearman has generously offered her assistance. and there is an error in my report. i did not proof it as well as i could have, so there was information left in from last time. we have two openings for the california senior legislature and we'll be working to fill those this spring. this first quarter. as we noted in the past, csl has passed in its 38 years 200 pieces of legislation, so we'll be continuing to work on our outreach program and make sure we get that up to date. we had a quick update on the senior homelessness and the committee wanted to thank executive director dearman and mcfadden for their detailed and thoughtful response. and they felt that there was confidenc
