for example, in chinatown it could be considered a low-income area, but there is a lot of -- there is a high concentration of health care services where already there is a number of clinics, a number of practices. another area southeast, excelsior, bayview, those areas, there is a significant -- there are significantly less services concentrated in those areas and those areas could be considered low-income. and not to mention the fact that the southeast is the fastest growing population area right now, i'd just like to say that we should not only consider as we are now where in particular the low-income areas are and in places of higher disparity, but also exactly where services are currently located because we can't just say we are going to put this here because there's a lot of low-income people. we also have to think about we need to put this here because there is low-income people and a lack of services there. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >>> hello. i'm michelle. i'm also a member of chinese progressive association. and like jimmy said, we've been working on this

first of all, me and my family take roughly an hour from the sunset to chinatown to fulfill our health care needs. that responds to [speaker not understood] excelsior and chinatown people who also travel -- take public transportation to fulfill their health care needs. roughly a quarter of them take an hour to get there, too. so, instead of using maybe private shuttles or taxi vouchers, we would like to emphasize public transportation since it is a system people already use. a system that fulf the needs of everyone in the city. and it's a system that everyone can have access to and we believe it's also -- will lead to the bigger impact on the lower income communities. thank you. >> thanks. next speaker, please. >>> hi, my name is stephanie and i am a member of the chinese progressive association and [speaker not understood] organizing. and i would like to talk to you today about the importance of linguistics and specifically guideline 3.4. so, personally whenever my grandmother goes to her health care provider, as a chinese speaker, she doesn't understand when the doctor speak to her s

i'm a with the family living in chinatown. us people in s r o we often face a lot of problems in the building. if the building the roof leaks and i remember that they were really, really hot. my brother and i couldn't sleep in the room. we told the landlord about it but he didn't do anything he said it's too hot to do anything now so i went to downtown cdc and i got help. i hope i will continue to support those kinds of programs to bring code enforcement to buildings like ourselves and continue to take care of our families and buildings >> thank you. >> good morning supervisors. i'm ms. chu from the community center. i would like to speak for our collaboratives. thanks for the funding we have been able to work with a lot of families. and the mission and tenderloin and south of market and chinato chinatown. we're happy to know that a lot of us are working with residents inside the building and they became leaders in the building we have tenant leaders. i hope if there's funding possible we can expand the part where we can build

and that determined my neck 26 years of my employment i worked in chinatown for the elderly and in the tenderloin at the curry senior center. now that i'm reserved i go to meeting and senior maeal sites. we talk about it i'm on a committee for that, too but i think that's going to be a long while the focus is on children. i go to the western senior center and the russian because we're required to do site visits. they treat us right in this right and i realize the most senior aging programs are the senior males and they help the folks get assessable to other services and more people want to eat a more affordable meeting. i'm co- chair of the legislative committee. and this past term we've put together the people from the commission on aging as well as the advisory counsel and so we have a joint legislative committee. so we work on issues that are related to seniors and try to get people to change what they're doing often then they don't like we tried to keep the state from keeping the cost of living from the folks. otherwise i work on the issues of homeless seniors needing shelters some

i grew up and was living in chinatown. it looks different from chinatown but right now, i'm living in the west edition are i see that fill more is very much different than when i was the. there's hardly any remedy in advance of a black business are the chicago barber shop is gone and this is the last black business to the past. i'm also my immediate issue is housing affordability but i see that horrify but i need to - i need to empower those folks and marcus books provides that kind of presence. i saw the spirit and it's different having the children walking in there and that's different for the black communities in the west edition to connect them to the past. thank you >> thank you. i'm very active in the japan community. i've defltd into the history and the culture information we're not just japan town we're fillmore western edition and we've shared so much and one of the key places we've shared is the city believe. the building started out on post street. it was a hotel with a pool hall underneath. and in those days th

to chinatown which is less expensive. the report is just the report but eventually we'll have the structure that will be tailored neighborhood by neighborhood but will be much more organized but i still i think neighborhood to neighborhood there are different needs and we need to value that. on the question of input i'm in support of a hearing by it's helpful to hear that the board of supervisors maybe holding other meetings and maybe we can coordinated the process. but there will be other opportunities and the planning department may be able to help with that. on the question of the time out. this seems more unclear to me the next item is the formula item. it's not clear to me yet if we can really hold off until after the study or we have to have some sort of religion after >> that was one thing i wanted to address. the recommendation before you on this one is to generally hold off on those proposals but if a supervisor you as a they can't hold a recommendation only thing this item would be that structural changes not ha

hi to think about buying fresh fruit affordably and i realized in chinatown you could do it and a lot of the stores pay the same rent as businesses in union square but they're able to sell fruits and vegetables and produce affordably to low income residents in the neighborhood and still succeed economically and for those of us -- like me that grew up eating junk food, a lot of mcdonald's, kfc and this is what my parents did and it's good to have that education. i appreciate what kenneth had to say and we had to learn how to eat and be healthy. >> and i know a number of the speakers are from the youth institute and the project and educating me as well, and also not only the food guardians but other groups as well and by dc youth and 10 years ago literacy for environmental justice in the bay view was the first place that educated me and students around the issue of environmental justice and food assess as well so i'm going to start reading the names of speakers.

that's quite a testament to her district >> i met the mayor when i was a i did not get organizer in chinatown. we use to clean up is neighborhood to promote i did not know people to get involved in their community. so ed used to come with his truck bringing us dustpans and brooms. it's what it means to be grassroots. the first policy that actually, the mayor and i worked on was the mid market and tax tenderloin exclusion. policies are tough and i know we had to work on that. we had a ton of space we have all this san francisco but no businesses coming in. there is a community that's also lived here and i didn't want to push folks out folks which who are improving the neighborhood. but the mayor and i made a commitment we would help revitalize this area in partnership with the communities. it's great to have randy shaw here fighting for low income housing and it's wonderful to have joe here. he lives on market street you'll see him walking around. i asked him to come i think it's important to have this in partnership but small businesses are going to do help strengthen this neighborhood. and w

association that is met - of course, this has been with the support and assistance provided by the chinatown development center that has helped us to grow into a well-established housing community. we advocate for residents there are still lots of problems unresolved. we here the same problems like leaking faucets and elevators are broken. it goes on and on. we get some improvements after we meet with the supervisors and director of housing but only in a short period of time residents are booking looking for a resolution that works. so i'm asking for your support if funding this and a thank you madam >> 2 minutes goes quick i i know. next speaker please. >> good afternoon. i'm the director for the beau con center. we ask for your support. the first funding to run an after school program. balboa loss their funding this past school year and due to the huge need for the academic services we stepped down in to help it run very limits programs utilizing very the money. however, due to some fund setting grants we're not able to stretch our programs to allow this service to continue. unfortunately,

location houses on the entitle of the second and third floor dp h mental counseling provided for the chinatown community. it was recently upgraded and here's a long time the property. the city's lease is for 89 thousand 2 hundred and 50 square feet and we've been here for 5 years. the next will be 26.9 thyroids a month. that rate is fixed for the entire 5 year term. we have found that accident market rate is about 298 per square feet per month. there is a note in the budget report about the department missing a particular notice for on option. and certainly our department regrets losing that opportunity that would have been more automatic in nature cigarette the rate at the 98 percent. this happened back in 2011 when we failed to do so. i want to note recognizing that error. staff proposed a one year exception and we've secured a rate freeze for the last fiscal year. this effected our savings this pass fiscal year by not increasing the rent over the past 12 months. so while we recognize our error it's an approximate expense i hope we've made amends for those errors by saving money and we've ma

for our consensus which showed the participation especially among the neighborhoods particularly chinatown where we saw a 9 participate increase. so our operating prim is while our immigrant and vulnerable receipts do have needs they contribute to the city's economy and success. this is a snapshot of our programs and incentives. we've grown from immigrant rights we staff the commission and all working right now on conjecture immigration reform we have community safety and outreach programs. we have language assess grants. and the bottom line we have a small office but we have a high capacity to do a lot to apply the innovation to our approaches. our success is because we're able to partner with community organizations as well as other foundations. we are a data driven office so we do a lot of testing and piloting and brown that's before we implement our policies. those folks were at the he meetings. our job so to help and make sure we're successful and more important communicating well, with our residents. we want them to recognize the value of doing that in different languages and trying

early days of the city, the city grows up in what is the financial district on the edge of chinatown. everything they rely on for existence is the golden gate. it's of massive importance to the people what comes in and out of san francisco bay. they can't see it where they are. they get the idea to build a giant wooden structure. the years that it was up here, it gave the name telegraph hill. it survived although the structure is long gone. come to the 1870's and the city has growed up remarkably. it's fueled with money from the nevada silver mines and the gold rush. it's trying to be the paris of the west. now the beach is the suburbs, the we will their people lived on the bottom and the poorest people lived on the top because it was very hard getting to the top of telegraph hill. it was mostly lean-to sharks and bits of pieces of houses up here in the beginning. and a group of 20 businessmen decided that it would be better if the top of the hill remained for the public. so they put their money down and they bought four lots at the top of the hill and they gave them to the city. lily

. ~ in chinatown and union square. ~ palace it's hard, then, to say not this building. why the transit center [speaker not understood], really across the street from the plan itself. i think given the fact that we are working on mitigation for open space type safety, it doesn't take care of everything, but i think it is certainly significant contribution to the neighborhood. it would be very hard for me to oppose the height increase for this project, but not for any other. and i think it is it' important because there's so much development in district 6 ~ that i'm consistent in how i determine policy. i do think prop k is a very legitimate argument, but again, you know, it's one that we -- we allocated more shadows for through the transit center district plan. and being that they were paying the same fees that they would have paid if they were across the street, i think that there isn't a distinct difference, then, between these developments. but it is a hard decision. we certainly know that members of our constituents are very opposed to the height of this project, and

she does a commute from chinatown all the way to the richmond and would have been a good candidate. unfortunately, the gentleman and i haven't been able to sit down but i'm most likely going to support him because he made a great presentation a couple of weeks ago. but being we have now made a revision to the c r.c. the seat will be open in september and i'd like to move forward richard marshall for this seat for the next full transportation authority commission meeting and will like to spend that time to get to know peter and we'll be supporting his nomination in september >> any other comments colleagues. so can we move mr. marsh forward without objection >> thank you, mr. marshall. ms. chang call the next item >> item 12 for the geneva advisory committee this is an action item. >> good morning committee members this is on page 81 this is the project level c ac. the authority is leading
