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 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.

to the city. it was the first public green space in the region. this park belongs to the village the former residence of the corp industrialist family at some point they fled the noise and dirt of the city and built themselves a house with a garden in the countryside actually more of a shatter it had two hundred. sixty nine rooms you can visit it and learn about the history of the corp steel company and family in the mansion's permanent exhibition . lake by the nice stretches out below the villa who do the work of river is dammed up here for eight kilometers. the excursion boats of the white fleet sail from shore to shore. there are places to lounge about. and plenty of water sports to enjoy. and the white sand on the seaside beach completes the feeling of summer. but what about the city's disused industrial sites. by the they've been turned into new attractive residential areas green spaces like the park one of europe's biggest steel factories once stored here now there's an artificial lake. and

everywhere in the world cities are sinking because of excessive pumping of groundwater for big cities situated on down to other factors can worsen this subsidence the ground under these regions has a natural tendency to compact in the past rivers brought new settlements to partly compensate for the subsidence dams built by man have upset his delicate balance. sometimes when we had dams put in eventually that sediment was. no longer able to get to the coals it was all being sequestered behind the dams in the reservoirs and then the shoreline was shift landward and we've been building one large dam on earth every day on average for the last one hundred thirty hundred forty years and you see in one thousand nine hundred there were just a very few dams and you will see and read where new dams are forming first in the u.s. japan india. so the issue of dams is very much part of the story. by diverting river waters with dams and pumping greater quantities of ground water man has upset the balance of natural forces yet the growth of more huge cities seems inevitable. located on the yangtze de

city attorney's office. i'm about to give a very quick presentation on the california government code section 1090. as you might recall from my presentation and fiduciary responsibilities, i went into a side discussion of the section and the president asked me to come back with a little presentation that would provide a little more information about what this section is about. so i'll try to make this quick. california government code, the purpose of the code is to ensure that public officers and members of boards and boards themselves, without divided loyalty. and to guard against conflict of interest and the appearance of conflict of interest. the code is probably one of the less forgiving conflict of interest codes we have to deal with, so it's very important we have a sensitivity to its requirements. the code, shown on the slide, the members of the legislature, s county, district, city, employees shall not be financially interested in any contract made by them in their official capacity or any body or bo

specifically for mayors and cities in the west, from mayors of larger cities. issues range from local federal tensions like gun violence and issues like tax constraints and pension reform. but we know that regardless, mayors continue to press on and solve problems particularly around these issues for example, mayor of new york who is exploring revenues despite policies at the state level, expanded use of solar energy and a review of how city owned properties can generate new revenue for the city. the primary way that mayors in the nation's smallest cities are talking about budget and management issues is in terms of government efficiency and effectiveness. for example, using new examples to streamline pross and pet registration. they talked about the property tax. for example, mayor adler addressed the 288% property tax increase for residents in just five years, saying when people say property taxes are too high or growing too fast, wee not talking about city taxes or county hospital taxes or hospital property taxes or school district property taxes. we're talk

homelessness is a crisis in the city of san francisco. our city government needs to step up. our city, our region, our state, our country is dealing with this tragedy every single day on the streets. the roots of the epidemic are complex. there is no single solution to solve the issue. we need to pursue a wide variety of initiatives. we need to fund programs that have been proven to work. we need to be flexible to fund programs that will work. we need to measure ourselves by the success of the individuals living on our streets today. and when they get off a street and get into shelters and onto their own 2 feet and onto better lives. today, i am announcing approximately $30,000 in funding to address the homeless crisis in san francisco. first of all, i'm doubling down on the homeward bound -- bound program. this initiative helps struggling individuals with family members and loved ones. i know elements of this program may seem controversial, but we have to acknowledge the fact that it is here in san francisco where we have had a very effective program. as mayor of the city i'

this is w you saw the city coming together to recognize that this is important for our city. one me queon. >> how many -- [indiscernible] >> three. we have had heard rumors of more that will be applying so you have heard the three that are out there. >> will you be likely to not get a permit based on behavior so far? >> i don't want to speak for the msa directornd we don't know who is going to apply yet. >> is there past behavior that would preclude them from getting a permit. >> i don't want to prejudice the application and review process. we have some information about the three that we don't have about th the others but we want this to be fair and we will give a fair review of their application. >> is the city charging? >> yes, our intent is to recover our cost. the state law restricts us to costconly o don't have permit fee. there is few different fees that apply including reserve we would require them to submit to address any others that the city has. this is designed to keep the city whole in terms of expenditure. i sent out my cease and desist letter and as of june 4 u

we all know that a clean and vibrant city is an economically successful and healthy 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. s that's unacceptable. 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 best police officers in the country. we just need more of them. let me be even more specific. i believe we have incredible men and wome

s should be made exempt from the city wide p.l.a. ordinance so they businesses have an opportunity to be nurtured and grow and consistently with what the city of san francisco has always believed in, and purported. >> thank you. [applause] >> hello. my name is dorothy. i'm a resident of san francisco. we would like to have 100% l.b.e. exemption from the p.l.a. ordinance. we would also like a trade union to open up their membership and document to the city how they are recruiting long-term local residents who are women cap who are people of colour back and who are immigrants. we would also like that to be documented for the city to have. i am for the l.b.e. it works for me. thank you.

naomi kelly, city administrator. i thought i would just quickly go through and say that i am, too, cautiously optimistic that we'll get to a project labor agreement. both the department of public works and rec department are in support. we've seen these being done at the airport and the school district. the devil is always in the details. i'm a fierce advocate in my career of supporting minority and women-owned businesses, protecting local business enterprises, protecting local residents and making sure local residents are a part of this and protecting workers and wages and benefits. i do think we'll eventually get to a win-win situation where we're all in agreement. i want to thank supervisor peskin, safai, and fewer in leading negotiations with everyone who they've identified. i will quickly go through some areas in which we discussed around the table that we thought would be great, that we've all agreed on. one is the definition of core employees where we all a that the core for contractors who are existing core e

and so from that that goes to the city and collected at the museums and will go to the city and the city takes what it needs to fully fund the admission attendance who are on the city payroll and the balance supports co-fam private nonoperations. and the reason it has come down is we have more tightly budgeted that number. in the past we have had excesses in that number. and the controller's office and the budget office encouraged us to much better at predicting what that number should be. and so it was through that extra work that brought that number down. >> all right. for instance, the origin nal budget of 2018, and your actual is probably will be about $4 million this year? >> i think so. i would need to confirm that, but yes. >> supervisor yee: thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. another question for you. i see that you've increased your target for participants in public programs. i am curious to hear how you plan to expand those programs. >> i think that's a mistake, madam chair. i think that may be a typo. i apologize for that. we anticipate that it will stay at 125,000. >>

it is for the city of san francisco. special thanks to our own san francisco pride team and i want to acknowledge teddy witherington who is scheduled to be here. teddy, if you are here, or he will be here soon enough. i want to acknowledge him as well for being here. i want to acknowledge, there are a number of people up here as well. acknowledge the elected officials, alice randolph from art city officials board, carmen two, our assessor recorder, the woman of the hour, for sure.

i'm an instructor at city college of san francisco. i'm with a.f.c. 2121 and free city coalition. ccsf is an important driver of economic opportunity and empowerment, and as you've been hearing and as i'm sure you know, we have a hugely successful program with the free city program, committed to by our supervisors and our city and funded through prop w, we were really proud when we ran and worked on prop w to be saying that we were leaving money on the table to help with the incredible and important things that the people need in san francisco in addition to free city. however, free city is only getting about 10% of prop w funds at this point, and it's been under funded from its launch. what's become clear in the last couple of months is that in addition to growing and growing the program, we need to be looking at closing the gap because the college has been left holding the bag for about $4.77 million. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. my name is saira ontiveros, and i'm a peer supervisor. today, we ask the board of supervisors to budget $40 million

as chicago rebuilds, workers flow into the city. architects flow into the city. chicago begins to look to the skyscraper. as one of the early corporate forms. skyscrapers,rliest the -- building it is not that tall. it is built before the introduction of steel to build high-rise. it has still got these enormously thick walls at the base to hold up the structure. it is sort of the last -- it still stands. it is sort of the last of this skyscraper type building before the use of steel and large plate glass windows. to build this new design. this shift from an entrepreneurial to a corporate theomy is expressed through rise of the skyscraper in cities. here, you see architects taking advantage of new possibilities made available by steel frame, construction by elevator, which makes it possible to build tall buildings. and you also see a transformation in the labor force. the emergence of this new managerial class is a result of changes in clerical work in offices. thiser key point in all of , until 1890, an office clerk, turned paper around, copied things, that kind o

deputy city attorney jon gier. last year, the state leat ail that requires that any time a ballot measure is proposed to the voters that could increase ta it to have certain information in the measure, including how much will be collected each year, what the potential rate of taxation is, long collection would continue. and so going forward, all tax measures and geobonds must include that information. the legislature is currently considering a bill that would not apply that new rule to geobonds, so is a little thicl point whether the state law will restrict how we define the question for this bond. in the current ordinance before u, isa proposed obond.ion for the ge >> supervisor cohen: right. >> mr. givne becau the state law might change, our recommendation today is that you can pass out the ordinance onto the full board, and ordinance -- and the board could even vote to placehe ordinance on the ballot over the next several weeks. but before you do that, we recommend you duplicate the file and amend the duplicated

>> we have units throughout the city. we had, as you know, a very high proportion of the 10,000 units that were acquisitions and rehabs because of our rad portfolio work. that was 3500 units. to date, we've rehabbed or acquired/rehabbed or developed newly over 6,000 units. we are at about 6,500. so about 4,000 of those are ac/rehabs. about 4,500 are reconstruction. we have about 4,000 units primarily new construction, a few existing non-profit rehabs sprinkled in there. we have, primarily, those units are in district 8, district 6, and district 10. clearly the o.c.i.i. project areas have a lot of investment because of the benefits of tax increment financing. so mission bay, transbay, and bayview hunters park, candlestick point have a lot of new units under production. but we have, also had a serious investment in district 9, with about 800 units, just about to get under way. in fact, we are having a ground breaking ceremony for the first senior housing development at 1296 shotwell next week. again, we would like to do mor

yankas deputy city attorney. it is the role of police commission to provide oversight to the police department and draft relevant policies and procedures. the police commission is confident it will be age to fulfill its mission. anything else you would like to add? i would like to add that i feel comfortable there is no conflict with mr. yank serving in that role. anything further? thank you very much. >> call the next line item. >> line 8 adjournment action. >> motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor. >> thank you very much everybody. - working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrant and dynamic city that's on the forefront of economic growth, the arts, and social change. our city has always been on the edge of progress and innovation. after all, we're at the meeting of land and sea. - our city is famous for its iconic scenery, historic designs, and world- class style. it's the birthplace of blue jeans, and where "the rock" holds court over the largest natural harbor on the

solutions for a city whose diversity is in jeopardy particularly in the city center the festival organizerseject monocultures and seek alternatives they want to rethink this space and be involved in shaping it. affordable land left nonetheless it's a moment where one can go the next step and negotiate with the city to participate in the development of certain spaces. what will happen to the unclaimed space in the city who gets to decide investors or citizens. which options are not dictated by commercial interests. and what about social housing. we're in an age where this notion of social responsibility is disappearing so it's about encouraging some form of social agenda or rethinking whether there can be such a thing as a coalition of interests that will preserve our research resources. financial interests which drive the city forward a new usage concepts which benefit everyone some past pioneers have shown how it can be done like the team behind the legendary bar twenty five and a tourist location in the two thousand the club was one of the berlin institutions which cemented the city's int

and maybe the city attorney can answer that question. if mr. city attorney -- i'm so sorry. a k qustion. so we just heard from the controller that under the charter amendment that the city and the county is responsible for the operating expenses of just the aquarium and also the maintenance of the building. we see that this is $6.4 million and the gentleman is saying for the academy of science that the budget is actually 10 million. so are we legally obligated to meet that obligation under our visor, we can refer and report back to you because you're raising interesting questions. but this is a long-standing historical practice where the city is paying for -- we're legally required to pay for the maintenance of the building and required to maintain it. the academy itself has historically provided funds to maintain it and the city has paid for whatever is left is the way that it's worked. i don't know that if the academy itself is providing direct funding as an institution to maintenance. i don't think that anything -- the charter doesn't prevent them from doing that nor does

the vast majority of the city's population and job growth will happen in this quadrant of the city, along this rail corridor. again, to accommodate that growth, we have the opposite -- option of expanding the highway which is absurd in our anchor -- in our current environment, nor do we think it is environmentally sustainable or friendly to our neighbourhoods. it is interesting for us to look back at the city's growth patterns and you can see the numbers. like most u.s. cities, there was little growth in the sixties and seventies. very little growth in either jobs or population. of course in the eighties and nineties that all started to change and that is true of cities across the country. even my hometown of detroit, which has seen some devastating economic conditions, is seeing growth now for the first time in many decades. we are seeing a substantial turnaround in urban preferences in terms of living and job locations. and we do think that by 2065, the city could have a population that is approaching 1.5 million people. getting down to the tangible level of this particular corridor, th

as mayor of the city of san francisco, i want to make sure that leave our city in a safer place thani took office, and i believe these investments will do exactly that. so i want to thank everyone for being here today, and with that, i want to turn it oveo our director of the department of emergency management, ann croneberg. >> thank you, may or farrell. thank you so much for your unwaivering support of public safety here in san francisco, rs andow as mayorr of the board ciscan r t staed over the last six months we've implemented strategies here at d.e.m. that have allowed us to maintain our goal of answering 90 is pfrs of our 911 calls within ten seconds or less. the first part of our strategy focused on hiring and training new dispatchers. it takes about nine months to a year to fully tra a diater, so it's long process, it's a huge commitment. the fact that the mayor is giving us the funding in the next two years to hire additional 90 dispatchers will make a huge difference for us here at d.e.m. last year we added almost 40 new dispatchers and we're seeing the results of that righ

anything that criminalizes the black and brown in our city isn't serving our city. it's been made very clear. i want to thank jeff adachi for his eloquent explanation of the problem with gang injunctions. but i just want to remind the city who you are representing in front of me right now that we have an opportunity to make a statement about racist criminalizing practices, that we face a period where increased incarceration and lifts of people who get special charges for expressing themselves, that really is fascism, we have to ask ourselves did we decide to do that? we decided not to do that, because the liberties we give up and the communities that are impacted are tsomething we are willing to give up. so i just want to encourage you to look at the broader social situation and the importance of making very strong statements against racist criminalizing practices and that's from my neighborhood. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please.

and other sites throughout the city. in 2018-19, we show over 2700 units have been planning and or infrastructure. these show significant progress in goals in the 30,000 units. major initiative. infrastructure. ocii also as you know, issues debt to reimburse to developers as well as sidewalk improvement. in this case, ocii is the developer so we get to do infrastructure and we'll work with public works to deliver some of those. by 18-19 we would have completed -- ongoing project include oversight on the construction of the chase center as well as folsom streetscape. as of last year, we have 5 4f.t.e. this year we're adding one. converting temporary employee to permanent. we'll have 55 employees. the operating budget is $16.3 million only 2% ocii budget. that's it. >> i don't any names on the roster. i guess this might be the benefit of being last. colleagues you have any q uestions for nadya? >> i have a dozen of them. >> you'll be back again. this is for bond issuance right? no. >> the budget that includes bond issuance

city attorney. we tried to manage it like a private law firm. now we have about 185 lawyers. significantly less than we had when i came. not to mention that we continually take on additional responsibility at some times at your direction, sometimes mayor's direction and department's direction that falls within general fund responsibility that we don't any extra money for. you don't see me coming in here looking for supplemental. over the course last two years since the trump administration in office, we have incurred more than $2 million in additional legal costs fighting sanctuary and variety of other things. we never come back to you to look for supplemental not once. that is because of the efficient job that we do on behalf the taxpayers and city and county of san francisco. i would like to say that, the budget analyst does focus on percentages. they sound they are small. the impact of that may make by doing these cases right is huge. if we're gong them right the benefit to the taxpayer is going

but actually, there are many city departments, dcyf does it all the time and other city departments too. have you taught about adding race as option into your data collection? >> in response to our conversation, actually i think last year about this, we did actually go back and do some homework on it and we are now including race as one of the vulnerable population characteristics we are measuring in determining our equity zones. >> that's great. because as we know, that these areas that equity zones, the school district also tried to do the zone thing and they got rid of it. actually they were so quick in the city they changed. if we were really to hone in around vulnerable populations we can agree that there are some populations actually in order to be equitable need more. and then, i have to ask about, because richard rossman is also my constituent, what are your plans to restore and reopen the mothers building at the san francisco zoo which has been closed since 2002? >> you'd have to ask the san francisco zoo that question. we have a lease with the san francisco zoo logical society

part of our city. so i think in terms of the way that our lawsexist, the goal is immigrantur communities the same as if they are a real part of our community whether they are a citizen or not, and that's the whole point >> could you do what mayor lip libby shaff did, warning the community about that? ha i could, yes, and i've made that clear what i will do as mayor is "s" protect all of my residentsnd i would do exactly what mayor shaff did a ilaud her for her efforts. she's taken a lot of heat for that, and i just continue to be a supporter and an advocate for what is right as mayor of san francisco. >> one of the issues that's going to come before y before too long is these scooters. have you ever ridden one of those? >> i have and i like the scooters. i tnk they're a great alternative mode of transportation just like bicycles. the city is growing and changeg, but i don't lhe fact people are riding their bicycles and scooters on the sidewalks. so we need definitely enforcement and we need to make sur

power -- i mean the city projects receive city power. recently the mayor facilitated a meeting with myself and ms. williams to help put a short-term plan together to energize city construction projects with the city power more quickly. and so therefore there's hope that we can work together to resolve a lot of the short-termed and work on the long-time. i'm definitely honored to meet ms. williams. she seems very committed. i'm very opt -- optimistic. we have discussed a shared interest in negotiating a long-term settlement of issues. to this end, together, pg&e and puc have identified a process that we hope will address current challenges with the number of city projects that need more power in 2018. this short-term arrangement will allow us to focus on the efforts for long-term resolution through the preferred process. we're hopeful that we can work together. we're looking forward to seeing the results on the ground soon. but i believe both puc and the pg&e agree that accountability is the key in assuring we move forward together. i hop
