city hall. october 17th, 1989 was an exciting day. the giants had made it to the world series for the first time since 1962. they were playing the oakland athletics. i was on my home to pick up hi son ivan and was going to take him to candlestick park and as the bus turned, it began to sway violently. i thought we had been in an accident and quickly realized there had been an earthquake. later that evening, my brother, mark, arrived with juliette. the world series game had been canceled and ivan, mark and i drove across town. people had taken it upon themselves to direct traffic through major intersections like garry that was uncontrolled when the loss of power shut down the street lights. coming upon the marina, we saw an extraordinary spectacle, emergency personnel and citizens were frantically engaged in a fight to save the district and many people strolled taking in the spectacle as if they were at the boardwalk and others were wandering about apparently unable to grasp what was handling. my

through the city. so we have learned from other localities and metro regions with a gu it on right and wrongn our case we are betting big and we are embracing it. we are putting all the blocks around where the stations are going to be going so that when this thing comes online we are able to tap into that so we are doing a lot of mixed use at this point where we satisfy the need for increased residential space and at the same time having to ensure it creates the sales tax as well and we don't realize that when it's just housing. also because of the investment we are doing and the fact we are out there clothing business to come into our city, we are seeing a lot of interest right now from developers more so than i would say the city is around us and it's pretty unique and exciting for us. something we haven't experienced for a while but the stability in government that we have in our staff, the training we've done with our staff and the economic development ensure that they go out there and have the rig

in greening the city spaces. if you're not familiar with it, greening the city is a great local nonprofit in helping the residents restore the canopy and the habitat. i'm also currently serving a four-year term on the san francisco bay restoration committee. you might wonder why i want to serve on the urban forest council. i would like to help enhance the health of the san francisco urban forest street tree canopy. i believe better informed residents can be great asset and partners in a mission to have healthy citywide tree canopy. i would also like to find solutions to have needed resources to have reliable and systemic maintenance for the city's trees. my daughter and i both have planted over 20 trees in the city. we think it's a joy that can be enjoyed by so many, including by birds and animals. friends of urban forests has given me rich experiences, and reminds me of the diverse work that's being done to build a sustainable city. i have an economics and management background with a master's in environmental m

to city. but the most part it is the discretionary budget of the municipality to support police services and public safety and transportation and everything else. but what it does not tend to include the capital improvement fund and certainly not the enterprise but for the most part it does account for somewhere in the neighborhood of 55 percent of all municipalities. it's most of what is in the news media where the city council has the biggest debates. with year-to-year changes in constant dollar terms we use what the euro we can out one - - economic analysis uses and to reduce those current dollars and then you can see on this graphic the year over year changes of expenditures of the general fund. if you look on the right side of this. that expenditures are fairly robust 4 percent in 2015 to about 3 percent the last couple years and then they have been declining year-over-year basis. when they were in decline year over year growth has been less. >> but the point i want to make that in the gr

hall and throughout the city. i want to thank my co sponsors, board presidents and supervisors fewer and safai as well as many neighborhood leaders who have provided invaluable input. secondly, i've asked the city attorney to prepare a charter amendment for placement on the november 2020 ballot that will prohibit the mayor from appointing an individual who is a declared candidate for an elected position to a having say for that position and prohibit individuals to positions from running in an election for that position within 90 days of their appointment. the rates to represent district 4 last year was the first open election in the sunset in 13 years. part of the reason why i ran for supervisor was because of my strong believe that we the people deserve to chose our representatives in free and fair elections. it's also why i made strengthening our democracy an early priority in office offering two ordinances to expand public financing and putting prop f on the ballot to address money and politics and political co

and then the next step is to assess the vulnerability of the city and the risk of the city to sea level rise and what are the consequences. so similar to the hazard in climate resilience plan, we are looking at vulnerability and consequences. and that's the report i'm going to present on today. and we are going to have a final draft and expect to be publishing it within the next month. from there we will be working to develop strategies adaptation plans and strategies in implementing those over time. and as you are probably familiar, working with the port there's already a lot of work in the realm underway even as we continue to have a greater understanding of what's vulnerable and what the risks to the city are. so just a little background, what we've been using in terms of methodology these are sea level rise projections. these come from a 2012 report of what level the sea level rise we should be expecting over the next century or by the end of this century. you can see as time goes on, the range gets wider because less is known about how much carbon the world will emit and what the f

i was a student and i fell in love with the city. i still love this city. i always said we have got to do something. whatever i have, i got it through hard work. being in this wonderful diversified city. we talked a lot about it. this came about in 2007 when there was a melt down and i was able to purchase these. that is when me and sammy, she is an advocat of foster and homeless kids. this came about. i said maybe we can do something about it. finally here we are. thernext step is the foundationd get the super structure. i want to thank the wonderful mayor. i am so proud of you. you are a wonderful mayor. you are a great person. i want to tell my brother-in-law who designed this property, my kids and this is all my family. i love them all. it is great to be here. too many persons.

they have been a part since the city's founding.ps some of the greatest contributions are in public service. three italian mayors have lead san francisco through momentous times. mayor angelo rossie pre-decided over the building effort golden gate and bay bridges. mayor alioto of the '60's and '70s through the trans-market period. power mid. mayor george musconi fought to keep the sanfrancisco giants in the city. at the federal level, san francisco has been represented for the last three decades by another incredible italian american, the speaker of the house of representatives, speaker nancy pelosi. i'm grateful to the coalition of italian american coastguard ligses known as ciao. the italian community services of san francisco and the italian cultural institute of san francisco to promote the italian cuculture and i introduce in all they do to celebrate italian culture. with this, we honour the contributions of italian americans to the city and county of san francisco. i want to thank my cosponsor, supervisor peskin, who, of cours

nd housing in this city. from a housing standpoint we've been 1500 units of market rate housing, 600 units of affordable housing. and we have another 2,000 units in the pipeline. we've done projects at 25 percent, projects at mission rock at 40 percent affordable. jobs housing linkage fee needs to come up. but we need to do that in moderation. we failed to build enough housing in this city both at market rate and affordable housing. but to increase this fee too much or too quickly will drive jobs to oakland and to the peninsula. i live in the 2700 block of california and every morning the buses are idling outside my house to take workers who live in san francisco to other jobs. do we really want to push the fees where we push the employers out of san francisco where we get none of the benefits. the projects in central soma have signed up for $52 in citywide fees, $77 in central soma fees and in our case and many of our peers have similar fees, $79 of project fees and concessions. that's over $200 of concessio

we're going to work with city college like many cities do. there is the apprenticeship program with sfmta where students are trained for e.v. mechanics. we're looking for other criticla. we've been working with other cities around the region where the heavy duty trucks are going back and forth and working with bodies on grants, incentives and other initiatives to switch heavy-duty vehicles to electric vehicles. with that, i will take any questions that you may have. >> supervisor peskin: so, obviously i'm a cosponsor of this, but i would like to make one, on the record, clarification, which i know my staff talked to the department of environment staff. which is given the phase-in period and given that there is actually thankfully less and less demand for parking, not to say that downtown is not congested, but we did hear from one garage owner who actually may be in the process of changing the use of a garage. and so what i wanted to do is be clear that it's our intent that amongst the considerations made by the director when exercising discre

as a city that had fallen into the depths of despair. after 20 to 30 years of hardly any renovation many of the buildings were in a desolate state and that affected people. people that had close links to leipsic for many centuries so it was painful for them to see the city center in particular to case so badly. for a few and then my opinion this per condition of leipsic spilled ings was an important factor in triggering the 1st protests in the autumn of 1989 that eventually led to the peaceful revolution can be done you know. of this place is one of the most important ones chronicling the developments of recent years and decades. brought along a little book that illustrates the transformation of this very same corner building . this one here that exactly this is part of what we call the tri fuel him which was heavily damaged during the 2nd world war. here you see the situation of the early ninety's after the war damage and 40 years of east german rule north had been stabilized to make it safe then in the 1990 s. the entire complex was re

i mean, look at this point we are -- our city has not kept pace with the population boom in the city.e're projected to have a million people in the city and county of san francisco within the next ten years. i mean, we don't have, you know, a bus system, a rail system that is able to manage that kind of worker-resident traffic. and i think this funding is critical to being able to hire parking control officers. we've seen that successful in helping to reduce gridlock and blocking the box, which is people double parking in our streets. this is one of many tools we need to be employing as a city to make a dent in what is going to be gridlock like no one has seen before. in the south of market, in the center of the city, you can't even -- frankly where all of the tc traffic is, is a heat map of just total gridlock. that's where the tmcs are. we've got to start employing some of the tools we can until the state does something. >> thank you. closing statements. howard? >> as i said i don't think this is needed. they're going to throw money at it and they won't get anything accomplished as

the city started as a port city. the first settlers and pioneers. and the shipping industry grew from there. this was a significant waterway and when the first settlers came into this area they realized not only was this a good waterway but there were plenty of trees here. they set up sawmills and they started to make lumber and they started to build ships here. it could also become a major point for shipbuilding. it was a dream to be able to open up the lakeport to ocean traders. eventually that happened. they were able to finally by 1959 develop the saint lawrence freeway. it allowed them to come in. toledo at this time is still a major port city. we have a cargo terminals along the area. we have overseas terminals here. there is a lot that happens on this river in toledo ohio as a shipping port that many people aren't even aware of. even people who live here. you can kind of forget sometimes were really a port city. and were an important port city of the great lakes. it is on the road exploring the american story. our visit continues as we next c

our city is on the wrong track. district 5 deserves an independent leader with a track record of accomplishments who is ready to take on the root causes of our problem. i've never been a city hall insider. i'm a civil rights and tenant attorney. i founded the only statewide tenant group that saved rent control. i cofounded a community division that forced city hall more for affordable housing for developers. district 5 has been my home for over two decades. i've been a renter and a homeowner in the district. i helped lead my neighborhood association. i'm a former small business owner and everyday muni rider and public school parent. i believe now is the time for us to take bigger, bolder and more courageous steps. i'm inspired by new leaders like alexandria ocasio-cortez. i've already helped san francisco take big steps. most recently i wrote and passed the law that gives every tenant in san francisco who faces eviction the right to an attorney. i was an early backer of our city, our home, the visionary ballot measu

and would not lead the city in a repute. we would not want to approve employment, necessarily have a great example, and i don't want to be put on record for that. things that would involve moral turpitude are things we would not approve. the other thing, and this has really come out of years of us reviewing these is wanting to make sure that the outside employment doesn't impede or affect the employee, this case the city employee's regular work schedule. i highlighted an example yet -- earlier where we would not want a firefighter, or somebody that works in a safety sensitive job to have worked all night on a grave shift and then come in i work a regular city shift. we have a strong belief that that would impede their ability to perform the functions of their job. the other thing that has come up that we are working actively with departments on is, it would be in conflict if an employee was going to take vacation, or in worst case scenario take sick leave and then work outside employment. those are things we are working prim

redwood city, 89. as he looked towards sunday and i know that looks good with the cool down, as we talked about earlier, that sunday cool down comes along with another offshore wind event . and that one at this point looks like it will be stronger than the one we are anticipating for tonight. that will become the next concern. we will take these one at a time. back over to you. >>> a former 49er is coming back, and he has got a score to settle. >> his new zip code came at a price. find out why next. announcer: 5 million kids use e-cigarettes. it's an epidemic fueled by juul with their kid-friendly flavors. san francisco voters stopped the sale of flavored e-cigarettes. but then juul, backed by big tobacco, wrote prop c to weaken e-cigarette protections. the san francisco chronicle reports prop c is an audacious overreach, threatening to overturn the ban on flavored products approved by voters. prop c means more kids vaping. that's a dangerous idea. vote no on juul. no on big tobacco. no on prop c. >>>

i'm an attorney in the san francisco city attorney's office. supervise the tax team, giving tax advice to the treasurer, tax collect or, drafting tax legislation. the thing i remember my mother telling me as a child is that you need to be prepared to take care of yourself and i knew that i wanted to be able to do something that i enjoyed. i didn't expect anybody to give me anything because nobody ever gave her anything and i also i always saw her fighting for the things that she wanted in life for herself and for her children. >> my name is jasmine flores. i am working as an admin assistant in the city attorney's office. i have always enjoyed the tasks that i have been given. on the days i show up and work on my own is empowering. for me, happiness in being more involved in a person-to-person interaction. my dream jobs includes being a physician, paramedic, firefighter, working with animals with the public. on a personal level with self improvement. my sister is the biggest influence in my life because she taught me to go forward with what make

i said city hall will never be the same. no one knew the city and charter better than buck, even when i worked with bill barns in supervisor elliott's office, bill would say we need to ask buck. i would see buck in the morning sometimes in the cafe knowing he had already swam. i also swim the bay but never got to swim with buck. i am certain i would not have been able to keep up with him. i would like to extend my condolences to the city attorney's office and his family. he was the kind of person when you saw him, he made you want to be better at everything. he made me want to be a better athlete, better at my job and just a basic human decent human being. i have been here for 12 years now, every time i ran into him it was a pleasure to see buck, and he will be missed. >> supervisor haney. >> i want to share my condolences with bucc's family and friends. i i want to thank you for sharing him with the city and with all of us. i am a new supervisor. i would always hear his name out there from other people in the building, and

when it falls under the jurisdiction of the city, the city has the right to protect those trees and determine whether or not they should be replaced of my so i certainly am in favor of anything in the public right of way determining in the jurisdiction of the city for that purpose in particular. i think this is an important part of the conversation. i understand that this is a significant green space and proximity to a lot of people's homes. but i do understand that we are creating, in terms of the proposal the developer will be putting forward, a significant number of trees. i think that allows for the opportunity for the surrounding neighbors to be involved in the process of choosing the types of trees and working with the district supervisor to choose the types of trees. we often do that in my district. we have conversations about the type of tree canopy that people would like to see. so i think that's certainly a worthwhile conversation but i wanted to add my two cents to some of the clarity around significant and in terms of the ongoing maintenance. again, it's important. this looks like

wear not drawing funds away from other city priorities. there has been a campaign by ibew, local 1245 that makes that assessoassertion and that's a m. the city would be compensated for revenue loss from the reduction in pg & e's business in san francisco as would be appropriate. again, that won't be funded from revenue, electricity sales. i'm talking about property taxes, gross tax receipts, fees, that sort of thing and we wouldn't be leaning on the city's credit rating at all or use the city's credit capacity. we would be relying on a post acquisition power enterprise credit using the authority the granted us a year ago june. and then i think the last impact we've been hearing folks ask us about is on the pg & e workforce. as you folks all know, the city employees a union workforce and we have a long history of working productively with the unionized workforce. they will recruit willing employees who maintain the electric facilities. we value their knowledge, skills and abilities. san francisco offers stable careers with appealing wages a

shake, city, shake. in case there's a shake, city, shake, in case there's a shake, rattle, and roll, i said shake, rattle, and roll, you've got to do something to save yourself from an earthquake, your soul. and cheers. here's a meteorite. they also say it could hit us, but it's a graphic right here. it's a very slim chance, but it brings me to my public comment. if i were the mayor of san francisco, i'd sure let you know i'd hold a meeting that i did all 'cause i'm stone in love with you. i did it all 'cause i'm stone in love with you. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors. i'm leslie, and i'm from district three -- or i reside in district three. the implementation of 5-g technology demands mass coverage throughout the city with wireless antennas. current nonindustry funded scientific studies absolutely show harm, biological harm from electromagnetic microwave radiation, which is wireless. the roll out of 5-g is in opposition to san francisco's precautiona

mayor breed told city officials they cannot investigate the possible ties of city contractors to the nra. in a memo cowritten by the city attorney, mayor breed said the board can only enact new contracting requirements by ordinance and resolutions have no legal weight. the mayor said until the board approves an ordinance, no department will take steps to assess the relationships between city contractors and the nra.conceding. the mayor went on twitter yesterday and said this. you would think an organization responsible for the deaths of thousands of americans every year from gun violence would lay low on the anniversary of the las vegas shooting, but apparently no one feel shame anymore. >>> the city of gilroy hosted its national night out. annual events was slated for the first week of august but was put on hold to give the city time degree from the deadly garlic festival shooting on july 28. the 19-year-old open fire killing three people and injuring several others. since the shooting has been on everyone's mind, national night out kicked off with a prayer and a moment of silence .

essentially, we sell city bikes made for riding in urban environments. our core business really is to build bikes specifically for each individual. we care a lot about craftsmanship, we care a lot about quality, we care about good design, and people like that. when people come in, we spend a lot of time going to the design wall, and we can talk about handle bars, we can see the riding position, and we take notes all over the wall. it's a pretty fun shopping experience. paragraph. >> for me as a designer, i love the control. i can see what's going on, talk to my cutter, my pattern maker, looking at the designs. going through the suing room, i'm looking at it, everyone on the team is kind of getting involved, is this what that drape look? is this what she's expecting, maybe if we've made a customization to a dress, which we can do because we're making everything here locally. over the last few years, we've been more technical. it's a great place to be, but you know, you have to concentrate and focus on where things are going and what the right decisions ar

as city bill academy, the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, mr. president, supervisor brown. >> colleagues, as many of you new, governor kne gov will sign. rent app and eviction legislation puts in place some of the strongest renter protections in the nation. while many san francisco owe tenants are protected by our rent control ordinance, those living in buildings constructed between 1979 and 2004 do not benefit from those same protections. including potential outrageous and predatory rent increases and unjust evictions. with ab-1482 becoming the law of the land today, i'm looking forward how to implement it in san francisco. i am interested in seeing to what degree the rent board can help and implementing this new law and i am working with the city attorney and rent board on legislation to implement 1482 in san francisco. and i look forward to working with my colleagues and that effort. the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, supervisor brown. supervisor fewer. >> thank you, madam clerk. today i am introducing legislation to ensure that the fran

yes, we are a sanctuary city, but we also are a city that makes investments in making sure that manye challenges that we know are existing at the borders and at other places all over the country that we are prepared to deal with those challenges head on in san francisco. [cheering and applause] >> when there were threats of i.c.e. raids, so many incredible organizations, so many of you banded together to be the community resources, to make sure people knew their rights and that families were not torn apart and that san franciscans were protected. i want to thank all of you for being the roots of resistance and making sure you are standing up for those who don't always feel that they have a voice. you are standing up for children who really are not even connected in some instances to their parents. you're standing up for so many people and you basically helped to create the resistance right here in san francisco. let me tell you, there is a recent policy that we got. we got a letter from housing and urban development. some of you know about their atta attacks on some of our immigrant

i love operating in this city. i don't want to just be one of a select few non-retail operators that is left here when the dust settles. i hope we can see a diverse community of business owners. i really believe that is through training and engagement of folks interested in running these businesses and we're the best suited, those of us on the ground, to give that knowledge; information, and training and i will be committed to doing that. >> thank you so much. supervisor fewer. >> so what are some suggestion that you would give to streamline it for these small businesses that are just starting out. we know that small businesses are having a problem, but with even more regulation on the cannabis business, i think they're especially vulnerable. you applied for the seat where you have less than 20 employees, classified as a small business. what are some of the things that the city and county of san francisco can do to assist? >> certainly, the planning commission, to my knowledge, there's only one person in the planni

the goal is to generate revenue for the city of san francisco. and to build on what the previous speaker said, if the goal is to increase revenue to the city of san francisco the 140,000 square feet that the controller's report said would not be built every year is generating far more in other revenue than just the increase that you are proposing for the jobs housing linkage fee. just in terms of property taxes alone that 140,000 square feet would generate $2 million a year in property taxes. that's every year. the jobs housing linkage fee is a one-time fee. so i think we need to be careful that we are not working against the interests that i think we all agree we are trying to solve to generate money for affordable housing. there's bond measures on the ballot this year. and we should all be supporting those to try to generate more money for affordable housing. this measure i fear would have the reverse effect. and so i think we need more time to consider it to come up with an appropriate increase that will not have the effect of reducing the amo

we lost all the power in city -- in the city for three full days. the earthquake hit. it messed all over the city. just in the marina alone we had 127 water main breaks. we lost all water in the marina. fire breaks out and we say that when all hell breaks loose, nobody else knows what to do so they call the fire department. but an earthquake is the extreme example of that. we have to perform. and what happened, all the water is gone, and only because goodyear blimp was in town because of the world series. the fire department only knew they had a fire because of several fire alarms. the chief down there was a hairy he had had a drill with the portable water system one week before. he knew exactly what to do. call the fireboat and the portable water system, and they got there 40 minutes later. we had to this wind today that we had then. we would have stopped the fire. this is an example of what would happen. in that day, there was no wind. it was a good fortune for all of us. a lot of hard work. they knocked the fire down and training, having equipment available, having

city services are moving forward. union workers have been without a contract since june so they voted to authorize a strike. they are stalled over working companies and recusduced staffi. >> when our people are charged with caring for the elderly and homeless, being able to do that when one in six jobs is vacant is completely impossible. >> now the union says those jobs are vacant because the pay just isn't competitive. the county has offered workers a 3% raise and insists paying more could not be sustainable in a slowing economy. >>> it has been nearly eight months since the landslide in sausalito, and today crews began cleaning it up. heavy rains triggered it sending an entire house down a hill, trapping a woman. you're looking at the mud and debris from that land slide. crews are scooping up the waste and taking it to a disposal site. what's the reason it took eight months? the city wants to make sure it would be reimbursed for the project before it started. it should be ended before the end of the year. >>> take a
