as a proud san francisco native and city worker, i expect my city at the forefront. think this will allow us to do that. thank you. >> chair mar: next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisor. i am larry griffin with local 21. i want to thank you forgetting to the point to set this up in the city. it is way, way overdue. i first started working for the city in 1976 and something like this would have been unheard of then. it is great that it is here. however we have to keep an eye on this. we have to monitor this. when you set up people to be representatives and departments make sure they can give a real percentage of their time to doing that and not be held to 10% on a by-weekly basis where they are able to monitor what is going on in the city departments. you need a prescribed percentage of time to be monitored closely. let's move forward with this but keep our eyes on it. thank you for setting it up. >> chair mar: i will read additional speaker card names. gloria berry, april mcgill, lucy, chuck morris and lauren bell. >> i am crawford. i want to thank you for allowi

the city is awash in wealth. another astonishing statistic was $175 billion of wealth resides in the city, and constantly, a lot of issues were made of the $20 billion budget that exists at city government. if you just talk with individual , low to moderate income workers, i thank you will be hard-pressed to find happy stories about living in san francisco. constantly there are refrains about the high cost of living, the quality of living going down and listening to the service provider perspective, burst -- particularly on workforce development, is very important. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am here with san francisco rising. on monday, along with bay resistance, and other labor allies, we helped organize a protest at amazon headquarters to hold them accountable to the ways that they are impacting communities here, particularly immigrant communities and working with and collaborating with i.c.e. we are here today with similar values in mind, and making sure that these large comp

we have a huge city budget. it is turning and people's perception of city services is heading back down, not there yet but in the direction where we were during the recession which is interesting for me. i was surprised by the relatively low priority that respondents gave to muni in the survey, not consistent with, you know, volume of calls, e-mails and communications to our office. it was interesting to me as you look there is a lot of variability across districts in what people think has gotten better or worse. there is no variability across districts in the fact people's perception of muni overall it is the worst in every district. i don't think, you know, on a chart that shows a lot of difference teen what folks in district one, six, eight think about various things. that is the only area where the lineup is consistent across districts. one area that seems super-variable is perception of what is happening with 311. overall the grades improved for 2017. there are many districts in which people think it is wor

of this city. we want to see someone in that position that tries and works to make it work for the best outcome we can have for the residents of san francisco. so wanted come up. and just thank you for all the years that you have been serving this city. i'm not sure where you are going , i hope it is not too far, because this city really needs people like you and it needs people like you to keep us in a mode where we do the right thing thank you very much, ed, and i will see you downstairs. thank you. [applause] >> now i will have director torres, the head of economic development. >> commissioners, and to you, ed , on a personal note, it has been an amazing experience for me to be able to learn from you. your sense of humility, the steady leadership that so many people have talked about, your willingness to be on the ground with people in the community, whether we talk about merchants or residents or visitors here in san francisco, your steady hand in guidance to me, when i fed issues that i needed

city.all of the greatest challenges we face are rooted in economic inequality, housing affordability and homelessness, gentrification and the exploitation of workers whose labor creates the immense wealth in our city but who seldom share in it. we do have a moral obligation to create a more economically just city. san francisco has the highest income gap in the nation, the highest housing costs in the nation, and the highest concentration of billionaires anywhere in the world. the majority of people, our constituents, feel the negative impacts of this every day. these are not problems unique to our city, but here, they are uniquely urgent. for decades in our country, we've seen a massive redistribution of wealth from the working people towards the top 1%, exacerbated by divesting from social services, attacks on the labor movement, and tax breaks from big corporations at the expense of every day people. and here in san francisco, we've seen the result. wealthy corporations receive big tax b

degrees in new york city. the story at least on the east coast is it's hot, humidity and the humidity numbers have been hanging around. that adds stress to the system it's completely clear and dry on the east coast. the only big weather maker has been the storm onset me up with. 9:00 right now, i don't expect the temperatures to drop a lot in the next couple hours. eventually we'll fall into the 70s overnight. it's been pap warm one. i wanted to mention -- it's been a warm one. i was looking at uber ride. i typically ride from midtown downtown and it can cost $20 to $25. it's up over $100. jon: that's congestion pricing. a breeze would be nice. any possibility of that in the forecast? adam: it's so calm. the big storm is such a focus and it's most of of way looked like throughout the day. but we are not expecting a breeze or rain or storm to move in today or even early tomorrow. jon: adam klotz in our fox weather center. jon: tropical storm barry is pounding the gulf coast with rain. now you can see some of wh

it is doable for the city. having said that though, we do recognize that this is a complex undertaking and it is not without risks and challenges. on this slide i am presenting a comparison on how public funds are used under these options. where decision-making and grid control lies. who oversees the programs, sets the rates and ensures operational accountability? the effectiveness of achieving san francisco's climate goals and how the option described, and the clean power sf program fit. as you see here, full independence is the option that perform the best. public funds would be used for public ownership and investment in san francisco grid. san francisco would control the grid and make associated decisions. voters, the board, the mayor, our commission would ensure accountability and driving achievement of our climate goals and we would be integrating the clean power sf program fully. risks and challenges do exist under this scenario, as i mentioned. they would need to be assessed. we would need to take a loo

the 1st city to levy an entry fee for vehicles today it's $1.00 of the cleanest cities in asia. on the other hand you have to see that in india or china besides the industrial production which is going on all over the city as traffic also plays a huge role and they won't get their air quality problems sorted out if they don't start taking action on their traffic. and people are increasingly migrating to the cities a global trend siemens highlights in the crystal cities offer jobs culture hospitals it's senseless to keep polluting these increasingly important living spaces with exhaust fumes so which city would alex and ebing house prefer to live in. here in london and london's got a huge debate going on about air pollution if i think about it probably move to the countryside. and understandable attitude for an expert in pollution levels in major urban centers. now this is a recurring question in the 21st century how do we make our cities cleaner and. a general to promote is doing his bit by building in commercializing the city crusoe electric bike taxi adapted from victuals imat

had is the heart of tourists of new york city. a lot of the tourists are amused by this, a lot of the residents like myself and family are annoyed. hopefully this is nothing more than a nuisance, some elderly residents for some people who need to get up and down, elevators, this has been a problem, we know the police and fire responded to dozens of calls about elevator outages. i'm looking out at the nearby buildings. i see, first of all, the moon starting to light up new york city. second, some neighbors bringing out canned ems, finding ways to create light. in some office buildings, you see some of the expensive buildings turning on their backup generators. for the most part, the city of new york, midtown west from fifth avenue over to the hudson river is in the dark. the 70s, over to 72nd street. you see people walking out with their cell phones, using them as flashlights. at least for a few hours, people will have that as a backup source of power. >> when you're talking to people around there, people worried, are they concerne

upon by city college for the file. i would like to explain the amendments for the resolution. do we have copies? since the tentative agreement says the m.o.u. would take effect on july 1, 2019, i would like to amend the resolution to take effect retroactive to july 1, 2019. i have added language in the first subparagraph d and e to state funds allocated by the city can be used for enrollment fees and to offset educational expenses other than tuition. thirdly, i somewhere deleted language in the first subparagraph d that says the funds can be used for no other purpose than enrollment fees. i have deleted the last whereas clause stated that funding for the city program is not guaranteed. i want be to acknowledge the city attorney may advise us to be cautious about deleting the last whereas clause. the deletion stating funding is not guaranteed is crucial to the good faith agreement. we know funding is subject to appropriations process as are all funds not in the city charter. all parties agree to fund it for the next dec

there are parts of the city that are totally dark including the famed radioed city music hall. a number of the billboard that are so fame out in times square are now dark. but there are tens if not hundreds of thousands of people on the street. you might consider those on the street on a saturday in new york city when it's 86 degrees at 9:30 are the lucky ones. there were people caught in subject ways an hour or more -- caught in the subways an hour or more. and we are told a number of theatres on broadway quite literally went dark and told people to leave. the show is over, so get out. restaurants told diners, don't worry about the check and get out as well. sometimes these situations bring out the worst in people. oftentimes they bring out the best this has brought out in people. we have seen so many people talking top each other. look at some of the hotels in new york city where every window is black. we bring in jacqui heinrich who is on the streets of new york city. 2 hours 45 minutes into this blackout. as you talk to people, give us a sense, are they calm about this? is

but if you big good luck the hamburg is not just a port city hamburg is also a music city composers such as your philip dealer money and your highness bombs used to work here and hamburg has also left its mark on rock and pop music history . and hamburg sang probably district the beatles gained important experience for their international career it all started in the early sixty's on the state's office a legendary place that has made history. 91617 years after the end of world war 2 hamburg's rebel had been cleared away and its economy was flourishing. but the generation gap was huge young people were looking for alternatives and amusement. rock'n'roll was new and played an important role for teenagers could only listen to it on the radio and in a few cups. it was settled local big wig month later and bucks and way to fast fashion founded the stock club the name said it all. behind beyond almost else i'm good we started up something that reflected the mood that was simmering among young people. that's why we put posters up all over hamburg saying the hard times are over and morning music

i want to thank the mayor's office in the city college and ministration and trustees for the free citycollege for working with us in these complicated negotiations and i wholeheartedly support the three item package before us today. >> thank you. supervisor safai? >> if supervisor mart were here, i was start by saying congratulations and thank you for your leadership. thank you for the members of labor for working so diligently at the table and work in good faith to come to agreement. i know in this body we have put forward the idea of making it a charter amendment and the negotiations continue. they could have ended, they could have walked away, but instead, the leadership and community members have agreed to embrace this process and working in good faith. so i just want to say i appreciate that and i appreciate all the hard work that was put into that. as i find out, and they kind of knew by my gut, as is a district that represents the most number of people that take advantage of free city college, this is an increasingly important benefit to working families, and not only the famili

we need to survive in the city, and there aren a lot of big businesses in the city. you want my family to get out of the city? i think this is not fair. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is jason, and i'm a san francisco business owner and been a resident the same amount of time and parent of kids in sfusd who have experience in regards to this jool epidemic as you say. in my experience, i opened a tobacco shop without selling tobacco. over the time, i was introduced to electronic cigarettes and the possibility of this being a cure, or if not, a cessation device to smoking. i did my research, went into it, purchased product, educated my consumers who were smokers to try it out and give it a chance. and just like my mother, i urged to give her something else besides tobacco a chance to solve the problems. to my surprise, it actually helped over thousands of my constituents -- excuse me, not my constituents, thousands of my customers quit smoking. we know that a vape and a cigarette are two different things. if you've smoked and

i love our city. i know you all love this city. thank you for showing your love by taking care of san francisco today for this amazing event. have a wonderful time out there! >> thank you so much, mayor. i'd like to introduce from district 6 our supervisor matt haney who will be working with the groups as well. please help me welcome supervisor matt haney. >> thank you, thank you. how is everybody doing this morning! make some noise if you love our city! [applause] >> make noise if you are ready to pick up a broom and do some cleaning today! who would have thought we could call this a cold day in san francisco. we're glad the temperature came down a little bit but it's still a beautiful day to demonstrate to everyone in our city we care and we're going to do some cleaning up. i'm the supervisor of district 6 and i want to give a special shout out to the different communities and cbds of district 6. the tenderloin where i live, soma, union square, everyone who is here, we really appreciate how much you do everyday. i see folks here

we're a respite in the city. and our high attendance on the weekend, more and more people come on the weekends, and i think this flexible pricing would be great, because it will encourage people to take advantage of this fantastic resource during the week. and help a lot of the pressures we face with extra visitation to our amazing garden. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i'm dr. joseph, i'm an mauritius professor from madison. i partially retired in 1996 when i began to volunteer at the botanical garden and i learned that children doseant and adult dosant did walks and became a director of the board of society. i continue to serve as a life member on that board. over the last 24 years, the botanical garden has been a major activity that i've participated in to bring people closer to the world of the nature around us. which i think needs more attention than is usually given. we live in district 7, in norman yee's area. and i just want to thank supervisor

city, for the more vulnerable families of the city. we all know the situation are extreme right now. the housing crisis is a total crisis our families are surviving those families with small children. sometimes they don't have a place to go, they don't know where to find resources to find even food or support. to get the health services, etc. we are vital for these families right now and that is why we would like to look at those is something very valuable for the city. [inaudible] continue supporting the funding and also looking into increasing funding because we are really there for the families, and the families need us to exist for the them to get the services and support they need to have healthy families area thank you. >> hello. i came here on behalf of mary elizabeth was founded and has a history of porting women since 1914. this is a long history of contribution towards equality. and protection of vulnerable individuals. since 2009, providing safe housing to victims of domestic violence. which my mom and sisters were. since 20

to demand action from this city.this is a well thought out, reasonable policy. our constituents are demanding it. the three supervisors of the three districts, they are the vast brent of homeless people sleeping on the streets and the services that serve those residents, and i can show you the statistics right here if you don't believe me, they are begging you to help us provide some oversight and accountability for this crisis that we and our constituents can no longer take. thank you. >> supervisor fewer? >> yes, i want to thank supervisor haney for bringing this forward. as a supervisor that actually has 60% of the homelessness in his district, he absolutely should have a voice in policy, but he also, i defer to him to know what is needed, and he has brought forth this legislation or this ballot measure, actually , to address some of the real issues that really need to be addressed that haven't been addressed. so i think i agree that everyone -- with everyone that homelessness is a crisis in our city. i do not hav

the city. to see. where i come from we have to fight for a free press i was born and raised in a military dictatorship with just one to a shadow and if your newspapers when official information as a journalist i have walked off the streets of many can trust and that for all those are all the say or do social inequality a lack of the freedom of the press and corruption we can afford to stay silent when it comes to the fans of the humans and see the rightful folds who have decided to put their trust in us. my name is johnny carson and i work a d.w.i. . to feel immense too many people too little space the rent is too high and the time it takes you to get from one place to another is too long kevin candid ski is moving from the big city to a small town from quake in berlin to a quaint gurlitz in the eastern most tip of germany temporarily he says there's too many retired seniors and too little to do them and found too much support for the right wing extremist party but it wasn't necessarily my gun it's the

new york city is supposed to be a loud city where you have a lot of police cars that are going through, where the streets like 6th avenue are not supposed to be shut down like this and the lights are all supposed to be on and people are supposed to be out and enjoying the city. so whenever you have something like this that happened tonight, you can understand at least from a new yorker or even as somebody who has lived in other places thought, all right, let's pay attention to what is going on in new york and be curious once again for fellow residents and fellow americans who are there. the good news, morgan, as we've been saying, four-and-a-half hours after the lights went out here in new york city while we were there during "nightly news" and such, the lights are back on. >> right. >> reporter: a lot of people are safe and sound. we will have the very latest on this situation and exactly what took place here with that transformer, the transformer that blew up tomorrow morning at 6:00 a.m. eastern time, and we continue to keep the thoughts and prayers with the people in the gulf state

i have to say that i have been city purchaser when the city administrator and deputy city administrator hired ed to be the 311 director, and i'm telling you, when he came in, he instantly, i realized he was a great person. he became a mentor, he became a friend. a lot of the major decisions that i made one oh, city purchaser, and even when they became the city purchaser, ed was one of the very first phone calls i made. his was done with guidance on how to manage at the 30,000-foot level, had to died into the weeds and jump back out, how to manage our colleagues, how to manage boards, how to manage the workforce and you have been such a true friend and you have helped me as i became the city administrator. thank you for that. it has also been great just to see how you have moved the traffic within san francisco, especially during major events, world series, just any other events, and there has been time where we have been on munimobile when, after the world series of 2012, and i thought it was one of the funniest moments. harlan and i are getting on a train to go back to the west side of

to my right is ohio city neighborhood in the city of cleveland.e are sitting down in the area called the flats, which are the lands right along the cuyahoga river. they run up several miles. this is the former industrial area of the city of cleveland, and 50 years ago on june 22, 1969, there was a fire on the cuyahoga river at the end of navigation, couple of miles south of here, end of navigation meaning boats could not go farther upstream. this is where a couple of low railroad trestles blocked some debris that was coming downstream, which is not unusual. the piers from the bridge got soaked in oil, which is also not unusual, and then there was a spark, perhaps from a passing train. we don't know exactly what set off the fire, and the trestles burned for about 20 minutes or a half an hour. they were doused by both a fire boat and from cruise on the shore. photographers didn't get there in time to give us a picture of the cuyahoga burning that time, but eventually news about the cuyahoga catching fire became international in scope. so this is wha

under the city's watch, under the city's responsibility. i want to focus on two additional points, both of which have to do with the public trust there is the law of the public trust. this isn't like an lot of other city properties. this used to be san francisco bay. san francisco got this property in trust from the state in 1969, it is a very special piece of state property. why are you putting this mega center here now and not somewhere else? the public trust doctrine holds that certain important resources like the waterfront property are preserved in perpetuity for public use and enjoyment just as private trustees are judicially accountable to the beneficiaries so two -- so too is a city otranto san francisco a trustee for the state to manage this public trust property. if you want to make a nonpublic trust use like this a public trust property, the burton act requires the safety to make a very specific findings, which has -- it has not made here, and more recent legislation, which the port of san francisco drafted ads the additional con

the city attorney is nodding his head. i said to the project sponsor that if we were to delve into that and talk to the planning apartment as to whether or not it requires a referral and relook at that tape, we could continue the item with the sponsor. the sponsor would refer not to do that. is that correct? >> it that is correct. >> as to the other two suggestions. one of them i think was taking care of and the other one, i think there is not respectfully a desire to do what is due to the thrust of legislation is introduced. i don't think the committee is interested in taking that one. if there is no objection we will send the item, as amended to the full board with recommendation for hearing next week. madame clark, could you read the next item. >> item number 2, 190248 ordinance amending the planning code to revise the nct-3 district controls to allow arts activities, philanthropic administrative services, and public facilities as a principal use on all stories, revise the upper market neighborhood commercial transit di

san francisco is a city with a heart but we also have to be a city with a memory.nly for the commitments we have kept but also the ones we have failed to keep. for too long our public housing communities were one of those failed commitments. we are changing that with our programs where we have rehabilitated over 2500 public housing units. [applause.] and through hope sf, which is revitalizing and france forming communities in hunters view and right here in sunny dale and with the reconstruction of the long overdue transformation of the san francisco housing authority. we are building and rehabbing housing, creating stronger and healthier communities and investing in the people who live there. we owe it to them to keep our commitment and make a difference for this community and those across the city. with every decision we make, i want to make sure that equity and accountability are at the forefront of our minds. we have to be focused on people in all neighborhoods, like the people who live here, who for too long have been living with broken pipes, mold, infestation
