we realize this is no longer a city by city issue. mayor breed can't talk to other mayors, we have to figure out how to do this. everyone in the state has to do their part. one in four homeless people in our country lives in california. one in four. 134,000 people. we have 75 -- we have 7500 people here in san francisco. los angeles has 60,000. think about it. that is not a small town. that is a medium-sized town in california. so the problem is great. it is also a stage that we know we can solve problems. we know if we can build bridges, we can build all these buildings , we can build all this amazing housing and build the economy. we have an economy here in san francisco with 2% of unemployment, we are the fifth largest economy in the entire world in california. there is nothing we feel like we can't do. if we can't find a way to put people in homes, if we can't find a way to have people, offer people a life with dignity, than i don't think anybody else can. we will not stop trying, because that is what our city stands for we know t

this is the city's building.bring to the attention is to the hotel community. because they came up with two thirds of the funding to make this project happen. without the cooperation of the hotel community, and the city, this incredible building, this economic driver for the city in this region would not be here today. on behalf of the hotel community , i would like to ask john campbell to come up and say a few words.

accounts in the city. the p.u.c. has been busy for his next major enrolment and they will be enrolling about 280,000 mostly residential accounts in april. with this enrolment, we will have enrolled all but the largest electricity accounts in the city and we will be following up with those electricity customers individually over the course of calendar year 2019. after the upcoming april enrolment, we estimate the number of active customers being served by clean power s.f. that will be around 365,000. as part of our phasing policy and decision-making around 12 enrolled additional customers, the p.u.c. established it would not automatically enrolled customers unless we projected that our rates would be at or below pg&e at the time of enrolment after accounting for pg&e's exit fees. that brings us to the topic of today's hearing. clean power s.f. rates, and pg nd exit fees. the exit fee is a method this cpuc uses to ensure those unavoidable costs are shared with c.c.a. customers. the p.u.c. took a rate action. the san fr

when you are a mayor in your thinking about your city and your city will go down in history for this. it would never happen at tree of life. because, tree of life is literally mister rogers neighborhood where fred rogers lived, two blocks away we are family, the most diverse neighborhood in all of western pennsylvania. people choose to live in squirrel hill because they want to live around people who are different. they embrace that. my neighborhood, i live seven blocks away. those words just hit like somebody punching you in the stomach. taking the wind right out of you. everything you thought about your city is completely changed forever. pittsburgh being the city that it is, the victims themselves were friends, family members of friends you'd known for 20 years . you get to go through this process of trying to operate and act rational at a time when the emotions are really taking over and it becomes difficult. you hear about the stories of how the first officer arrived and upon coming out of his vehicle, walking in front of the car and looking in through the glass windows that are

board for championing free city. it's so important in a city that talks about innovation and disruption, we need to make sure the opportunity is provided for all of our residents. so, colleagues, i just want to thank again our co-sponsors, i want to thank our rules committee for expeditiously allowing this to come before the board. i know this is one of the quickest charter amendments that have come before the board of supervisors but i really do look forward to working with all of you to champion this in the november 2019 election. i want to recognize the college board of trustees for adopting this charter amendment and recognizing the president, the vice president, and others, and also my former chief of staff, ivy li, the architect behind proposition w. thank the city attorneys for working tirelessly to make sure we could get this done since july, janet and john, and recognize the controller's office, ben rosenfield and his team, michelle and jayliel, will work on this in a different hat without your office and al

his father actually works for city government, still works for city government today. and just to show you how interconnected all this is, and i say this almost everywhere, he wasn't radicalized in chattanooga but he came back to chattanooga to commit these acts which means we're all in this together in a really critical way. so after we had done a lot of work and we had a great response, a lot of articles were written about chattanooga and our response afterwards. we were contacted by the state department and mike is here with the u.s. state department, secretary kerry had started something called the strong cities network, all about how you combat violent extremism and try to prevent these acts from occurring. i started going peer-to-peer, talking to other cities. they arranged that not just in the u.s. but all around the world. we had numerous visitors from places -- from the balkan areas to the middle -- to the far east. we've had tons of people and ried to learn what was happening. and this counterviolent extremism work is actually really important. there are peop

and new york city. to get that sort of movement really is sort of a perversion cause that calls for a solution -- a policy solution to stop that from happening. for things to be dire enough in america that it would force that migration pattern to reverse is something that needs to be addressed. the thing that needs to be addressed is that places like l.a. need to find a way to allow more housing to be constructed. >> coming back to the housing slump, dad ta ta released yeste. u.s. home sales cratering in december. the housing sector ended 2018 in a weak state. sales of existing homes fell 3.1% from a year ago to 5.34 million units, the weakest total since 2015. home sales have slowed after years of strong price growth and moderate inventory, according to "the washington post." more properties are sitting on the market. how do you read that? >> i think this gets to one of the core issues, which is, it's really important to separate price and rent. really, supply and -- we tend to think of price, because

those of us who live in cities who govern in cities know that is false. but they are right about one thing. there are two americas. washington and the rest of us. and this city is led by a great may mayor. i'm talking about our national government. which is broke b. 60,000 teachers and supporters were walking through my city in the pouring rain, which is like a snow day for us. their courage, their enthusiasm led me out to the streets to start talking. i took five teachers out to lunch. one of them was telling me she was a veteran teaching in one of the poorest neighborhoods in los angeles. she said i still love being a teacher. something that resinated with me because my grandmother answered the call to be part of the teacher core in milwaukee. but she said with everything that's happened in this country, cutbacks in our schools, i don't love coming to work anymore. some days i even hate it. i was so inspired to see those teachers out there. but something is seriously wrong when hundreds of americans are taking to the streets to demand leadership from ou

productions and the city departments. to challenge you to come up with something bigger and more fun, and something in such a historic location right here, right in front of city hall. this is amazing. >> we starting off by leveling the entire plaza. it was about a two-week process to get the area brought up to a dead level because the ice risk itself is not tolerant of any change in slope, because the water would build up at one end. then, we brought in these refrigeration panels that we can circulate a brine solution in to bring the solution down to colder than 32°, and then, start spraying water on it, which, for the last two days, nature has taken care of that for us. and then freeze it, and it becomes ice that you can skate it. >> as you can see, the ice is about an inch thick, and it'll get up to 1.5 inches thick. with that, we can control the ice. most people that do outdoor skating rinks make a big sand box, and they lay these tubes in it, cover it with sand, and then, the ice gets to be about 6 inches thick or 8

i don't know in your city if you have a city manager or a different structure. this might not be the case in your city. but i can tell you in toledo, the city council, just like any legislative body, appropriates money for stuff. but then it is the executive who decides how to spend that money. when we go out to bid later this spring for our ammunition for our police department, our guns and our replacement parts for guns, we're going to include a list of questions that will help us ascertain which companies are responsible and which aren't. toledo spends about $200,000 on this effort, and i'm sure the drug companies -- or, the drug companies, the gun companies wouldn't miss our $200,000 at all. but if just the cities in ohio, and i see we've got three mayors over there sitting in ohio, ohio mayors, if just the big cities in ohio joined toledo in our attempt to put purchasing power pressure on the gun companies, all of a sudden toledo's little $200,000 terps into i think $1.3 million. and then if we begin to get support from other cities around the country, whet

it will be a panel made of up of managers of city of texas and city of san diego. we'll make it more interactive than previous webinars and opening up to the audience and allow for realtime questioning and answering. we've also been very active on the professional association conference circuit. whistleblower program given presentations at following conferences. we presented in front of the california account and audit managers on design and performance and measurements. we presented in front of the association of local government auditors last calendar year on the same topic as well as participating on fraud hotline panel. >> thank you. brenda? >> steve, i'm the liaison. we met on two occasions in november and in january. before i render a summary of my report, steve, would you be so kind as to share with the rest of the cgboc members, new development that will impact your work in the whistleblower program? >> there were some changes made to the campaign government under the code that tonia referenced earlier. it's going expand whistleblower program protections an

we are in a progressive city. it only means that we are the ones that elect the progressive board of supervisors president. so i hope that you do the right thing and that you elect her president. thank you. >> thank you for your comment. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is mena parks. i've come here today in support of hillary ronan for board president. in my experience working on progressive issues here in san francisco, like police accountability, resources for after school programming, affordable housing and the most recently cannabis and social equity. supervisor ronan and her office have been engaged, courageous, passionate and effective in being a representive for the voice of the people. and as many people who have already expressed, supervisor ronan doesn't wait for you to walk into her office to express concerns. she comes out to the community and asks us what we think and inquires about how the issues affect us and that is the time of leadership that we need. we need active -

nearly thirty million tourists visit the city every year of italian cities may follow suit. specialist alimony and company alum x. uses these nine ton blocks to make extra general industrial components since june a german company has had to pay ten percent in import duties in the u.s. but only max is actually making more money. that's because the tariffs in the u.s. markets have pushed up the price of oil a million. it's one reason the company's c.e.o. wants to increase production at its plant in south carolina. you may have africans in part but the more added value you create on site the less you have to import that's how it is valid and the tariffs will lose their effect in the future because the more we produce on location which trump also wants the less significant the tariffs are militarily. the u.s. operations only account for ten percent of the company's total revenue but that will soon change. as it out and towards the share of the american operations in our total global business will certainly at least double in the coming year by that i mean the revenue the profit

the city built it for very specific person to solve a problem for the city.pen as being distinct and unique in the fact that it was the first ever entirely concrete pier built on the west coast of the united states. a concept that would last forever. the city held a parade and the held band concerts and competitions, athletic competitions on the beach and in the water to celebrate the opening. the idea of the concrete pier in the early 1900s was the pier would last forever or at least longer than the wooden piers that it than traditional filter and succumb to the elements. those concrete piles lasted all of ten years before the inner ironworks started resting because the construction was beach sand at the time which is very poor. those piles in 1920, and 21 were replaced with creosote treated with an piles. so in the 1920s we had a concrete deck with wooden piles underneath and then ultimately the concrete was all replaced with wood and we had an entirely wooden pier up until the 1980s. in the 1980s storms tore down the west and. the wood gave way, and about

the city, lock stock and barrel. it was truly an open city. go?did that book title gangsters, the roaring 30's , theyers, the dillinger's would come to kansas city for rest and relaxation. check in with john will as a a. this was a notorious city. the money flowed in. it --alled and this money flowed in by the millions. 1933, prohibition is over. the mob is looking for new vistas. gambling is one they got into. they continue to grow, they continue to prosper. they don't go away because there's no more bootlegging. and gradually, as these other ,riminal groups do fade away it's the national crime that gradually takes over. group didn'ty the have any resistance or competition. they were the big dogs. they got politically stronger. then the wheels came off in 1939. and the new mob boss was indicted, went to jail. been fighting for years unsuccessfully against the machine. they cleared out city hall. mob had to surface or go underground. they weren't going away. they just didn't have a high profile. the guy who became the mob leader was more well know

you can tell i love the city. now, in the lower right corner, i painted l'enfant, himself, just before his death. his name is clearly on the original plan. peter l'enfant, not pierre, peter. but thereafter his name never appears on anything. he wasn't paid. he spent his time trying to get paid. he was a difficult man. but he ended up a pauper. and without credit. and he's come back in my painting to look at the city. and the tree he is leaning on, there is a great quote that jackie found about the growth of likeity being like twigs, sprouts coming from an old trunk. and the tree that he's leaning on is sprouting anew and i think that will always be the case with washington. it will always sprout anew and it will always be a wonderful city. thank you so much. [applause] >> so we have about 15 minutes for questions. please raise your hand and wait for a mic to get to you so we can make sure to record all of your great questions. mr. waddell: and after that i'm going to go upstairs if anyone wants to look at the pain

this report looked at it from the perspective of the cities, and said what would cities need to do if the world is going to be able to achieve this goal, the higher ambition of paris? what it showed was that major cities in the developed world, like the united states, need to peak emissions by 2020, and many of the cities in this room, probably already have, to accelerate their climate actions by 2030, with a target of becoming carbon neutral by 2050. that is what the sign says we need to do in our cities, if the world is going to avoid dangerous climate change. so, we have developed a program called deadline 2020 that starts with that commitment, but also helps cities implement the necessary actions. the good news is, there are over 80 cities around the world that have made that commitment, includes 20 cities in the united states, including all of the see 40 members. so, examples washington, houston, you know the world capital of the oil industry has made that commitment. i think we need to commend mayor turner, salt lake city. mayor, thank you for your signature. then, places that a

it was groups like central city s.r.o.borative who had been working collaboratively on passages to increase adult presence on the streets as kids walk and back doors walk back and forth between school and afterschool programs, and i see many of our partners are here today. and randy, who talked about a study of how this neighborhood had the least number of streetlights at night of any neighborhood here in san francisco. so this, along with the pedestrian safety improvement really became the priority at the community and how cpu josie beat -- and how cpmc could make this neighborhood safer and stronger. there are many steps along the pathway to get here, of which they were not the major obstacle because they committed to this program so early on. i can't mention how many neighborhood studies and community processes that our offices worked with so many of the community leaders here over the last eight years to make that happen. i want to give a huge shout out to the public utilities commission. i know the general manager is

consultant in the city who were marked at the calibre of organizers on campaigns and the city has been transformed. if you look at the room of the folks who were elected in november, many of us benefited from the work that he has done with so many folks, and those folks are in campaigns throughout the city. many of them are coming into city hall to work here. many of them are going to run for office themselves. that is a gift that will pay dividends for san francisco for decades. i want to thank the folks at stacy owens and co. and keeping me out of trouble. and as always, i want to thank bernie and eleanor burke. they didn't quite make it, which is probably good for me, because when they are here injured not just july the being in a place that they needed to be with one. i will always be so grateful to have them in my life. also here earlier was my aunt carol who was also always there for me. -- to get through the last six months to joe atkins and stephanie rodriguez and jeff steinberger and nancy young and diane sidd-champion and berdy bruhard and mitch ensinger. and jesse anacoa, an

his father actually works for city government, still works for city government today. and just to show you how interconnected all this is, and i say this almost everywhere, he wasn't radicalized in chattanooga but he came back to chattanooga to commit these acts which means we are we're all in this together in a really critical way. so after we had done a lot of work and we had a great response, a lot of articles were written about chattanooga and our response afterwards. we were contacted by the state department and mike is here with the u.s. state department, secretary kerry had started something called the strong cities network, all about how you combat violent extremism and troy to prevent these acts from occurring. i started going peer-to-peer, talking to other city they arranged that, not just in the u.s. but all around the world, we had numerous visitors from places, from the balkan areas, to the far east. we had tons of people and tried to learn what was happening. and this counterviolent extremism work is actually really important. there are people on the edge

i've been at city college since 1997. i have been fortunate to see many of our students move onto the department. i am asking you to support and amove the m.o.u. between the fire department and city college. the city college board of trustees approved the m.o.u. on december 13, 2018 and are very excited about this opportunity. discussions on this subject actually started a number of administrations ago as mark alluded to. for various reasons, the timing wasn't right for city college, but now, this opportunity to formalize training by city college and the fire department is here, this will address the basic probationary fire department and field training programs. there are various references in the strategic plan alluding to a relationship between city college and the fire department. much work has gone into curriculum development by city college. there's been a number of meetings between the fire department administration and the city college administrators that has brought us to this point. this m.o.u. provides a revenu

city a microcosm. a little wild that one can walk right round and see as a totality like looking for a magnifying glass.

city attorney? >> deputy city attorney, i don't think you need amendment to the resolution if the controller's office and the office of public finance is indicating that they will amend the policy. >> supervisor fewer: that's great. absolutely fabulous. that's great. so i would like to make a motion to pass this with a positive recommendation to the board. and i see we can pass that without objection. thank you very much. okay. thank you very much. madame clerk, please call item 6, 7 and 8 together. >> 6, ordinance appropriating $75 million of proceeds from the seismic safety retrofit and the bond series to 2019a to the mayor's office of housing. and placing these funds on controller's reserve pending the bond. item number 7, resolution authorizing not to exceed $75 million. bond series 2018a and item number 8, resolution providing for the arabance with not to exceed $260 million aggregate principal amount of the city bonds. >> supervisor fewer: i believe we have a presentation from the mayor's offi

she grabbed us at city hall one day. we were supposed to have a two-hour meeting, and it turned into a ten-hour meeting. she cancelled appointments and other things that she had to be at. she said we're going to finish this night, and she did that. she brokered a deal, and there's no one that i want to thank more than mayor london breed for getting this done. [applause] >> i also want to thank aaron peskin, who's not here, and ahsha safai -- did i get that right? ahsha had a lot to do with us and sat down with us hour after hour, days, weeks. we had conference calls at night, 1:00, 2:00 at night. i really don't want to think about what you were wearing during those conference calls, so please don't bring that up again. but i do want to thank you very much for all the effort that i put in, and thank you for letting me have a drink in your office afterwards. you know, san francisco, the progressive city that it is is first on everything -- on a lot of things, on most things. we're a model for the country. i've been saying

to the city of new orleans are hitting the ground. that has been a unique challenge for us but it does set the tone that cities and we have pulled all of our communities throughout the u.s., infrastructure is top priority and it is not just roads and bridges, it is also streets and drainage and transportation options for our people. so we definitely need the federal government to get back to work because every day that they're not at work is a day that our people go without. this is a priority that i stand committed with my fellow mayors right here this morning. >> it is important to note that 80% of american infrastructure is funded by state and local governments. water and sewer infrastructure, 98.5% again produced by local and state governments. only 1.5% coming from the federal government. it's also important and we talked about federal aid and federal support that federal money is our money. this is among our citizens send to washington d.c. every april 15 and we talked about repatriating those dollars back into communities where

having a city where people respect rules and at the other hands you know inclusive city and finding that. it quickly between safety and inclusion doesn't that's a big challenge. mayor somebody set out to meet that challenge. in stuttgart the capital of biden ville tim back in germany integration and inclusiveness have been a top priority for decades about six hundred thirty thousand people live and struck out from more than one hundred sixty different countries around two hundred seventy thousand people immigrated here that's nearly forty three percent. for the city of integration means. creating conditions of equality for all residents. to quote a bit of multiculturalism just means there are lots of different cultures in one city make society diverse but we all belong to stuttgart get on with we all to play by the same rules for the mud but then those bounds everyone can be themselves one can see that fighting over. immigration and integration have been a natural part of life in stuttgart for nearly fifty years it is no i mine is preparing an exhibition for the city museum part of it fo
