our city is a major purchaser of prescription drugs. our department of public health spends over $23 million a year to purchase pharmaceutical drugs for our patient populations. unfortunately drug pricing is often murky and secretive. many have trade secret protected and are subject to other regulatory prohibitions on disclosure. public entity purchaser such as our city essentially have to take the word of manufacturers that we're getting the lowest price even with discounted drugs covered by federal programs. there have been several attempts to increase price transparency in today's cost. the federal 340 b drug price program allows entities like the department of public health to purchase drugs for outpatient care at greatly reduced rates. a 2011 attempt to expand this to inpatient care was devoted by counseling. last year our city took an official support position of senate bill 746 authored by senator leno which would have required health plans and insurers to disclose more information on a variety of aspects of charges and rates inc

it's letting people understand as we start to shift how cities do change, cities are resilient and cities can come back. the way that pittsburgh came back is very different from the city that my grandfather came to in 1921 from city italy. it's not that same city but it does have the opportunity to be better. >> i think when people think with oakland, the polarization between black and white community, but today oakland is a city that is equally divided between blacks, asians, latinos, african-americans. we're diverse racially and economically and makes it one of the most interesting cities in the world. we won over 20 accolades being one of the most exciting cities to being one of the greenest cities, and portland and oakland are similar, we're both old port cities. oakland is more diverse, we have the best weather. there are some things that people think they know, but when they come, i have walked with many groups, many say i didn't know it was this beautiful. that you have the redwood forests and we have every micro climate for gardeners. and we're a city of innovation. i have very po

americans live in cities. there are small cities in kansas, but they live in cities. city dwellers have to start voting their urban interest. never mind republican or democrat. the interest of cities is the interest of nations. if urban citizens both their interest the national government will be giving them back the resources. it is only because the american government is in the hands of a minority right now that the urban minority is not being well served. worldwide, the majority are in cities, and if we follow democratic practices, in time that means national governments will be controlled by urban majorities, and the national government will work with, not against, cities to get the job done. tavis: detroit, now that we know the bankruptcy is official, but there are other cities that are teetering on being detroit. armed big their cities and small cities that maybe the next detroit. chicago comes to mind immediately. give me some sense of what happened in detroit and how we keep other cities from going the same route. very important example. the bankruptcy of citi

also because it's such a diverse city use. it's over a quarter of a million people walk this corridor on an everyday basis. it has a huge diversity of population. it has small businesses, large businesses, as well as financial as well as restaurants all along the way, established and new. we wanted to signal this was part of that revitalization. i know supervisor wiener is very happy with this because he along with supervisor chiu has been asking to do more with communities of ethnic diverse backgrounds. this is a demonstration of what we can do in a major corridor. we have a vision that other corridors in other of our diverse communities can also benefit similarly as this will be. and again, it's the right way of doing it. it is the kind of public private partnership that we've been seeking with companies like ruckus wireless to help with us, dt will be maintaining it from here on to make sure it is accessible to everybody. like i said earlier, it's one that we will keep market street as something that department of technolog

we know when this law has worked our city's contract practices can keep tax dollars here in the city which will do most good for our residents. we know when 14b works we know that san francisco is doing all we can to end discrimination and to ensure that we are not contracting with businesses that discriminate. the hearing that i'm calling for will help us chart a progress in full filling our cities policy on discrimination and we hope in the light of legal adjustment to better award and administer a contract that is better and fair and effective to provide equal opportunities. as san franciscans we all must do a better job and i like -- look forward to working with. you my third item is an environmental ordinance. with recent typhoons and we've all seen an impact of global warning and we have seen our efforts to reducing greenhouse gases and reducing addiction to plastic bottle water. in the 1990s the industry experienced an enormous growth but before that everyone managed to stay hydrated. in 1996, the average public drank 1.6 billion bottled wear -- water per year. today americans

it called for data coordinators to be established in city agencies throughout city government. but none of these things after many, many months have occurred and this is why supervisor farrell has moved forward with his legislation. i do hope that all of the agencies throughout the city that have data can understand that we are serious about wanting to modify our open data standards. we are serious about releasing every open data set that we have. this is how we improve our government. this is how we make our government accountable and transparent and colleagues i also ask for your support. >> thank you, president chiu. so, colleagues, can we take this same house same call? thank you.

commitment to making this city a safer place. we know that you are more likely to be hit if you are a child, if you are a senior, if you are low-income. this is an important public safety issue for everyone and we also know that this is an equity issue. and i think there are three things that our office will be looking at along with several of my colleagues here on the board who i know will be speaking after me about what we can do. number one, we must look at fully investing and funding the pedestrian strategy. this is not just an issue policy. this is an issue of life and death and critical injuries here in the city that are absolutely preventable. there are so many ways to go in the city, but this is the one that is 100% avoidable and 100% preventable. and often made by reckless driving that could have been prevented just by yielding to pedestrians in the crosswalk or turning carefully when making right or left turns. i think it's also important as we look at driver education and r. of course street redesigns of our most dange

this is a city-wide issue and we need to tackle it as a city-wide issue, not district issue. i, too, been a friend of isabelle hughey over four decades and seen her work throughout those decades. not only from the places she worked, but also sitting on various boards and organizations. i hope that we all could ask people to support the lou family in terms of helping them with their financial difficulties to deal with this situation. i think the sherman school is collecting funds, as supervisor mar mentioned. as i mentioned at the beginning of the year, this issue was already important to me. one of the things i never talked about -- actually, my grand to they are got killed by a car, too. so, i started this year really focusing on capital improvements to make our streets as safe as possible. and the other pieces that supervisor kim has mentioned, we need to be more aggressive in this city. it's one thing to try to have traffic calming. but if enforcement is not there, it's not going to work and we just need to raise our level of enforcement. at the same time, when we talk abo

, that brings people to the city. and i have employees that live in the city that need to get to work i have folks that need to get to court and go and go. i need transit. and i want to just say that on market street, i bought a building between polk and van ess where you need the courage and the bullet proof vest to get to work every day and i stayed there it seems to be a great place, twitter finds it to be an ideal location to be but it always wasn't. and what made the difference is the way that market street has evolved. and one of the most important going to collapse. transit is like water, if you put in a block in one place, it will move another place if you give that need another avenue it will take it and as a small business person, thank you for holding this meeting and thank you for helping my people get to work and my clients get to my office and to keep the city alive, thank you. >> thank you. >> next? >> mary lauren hall. swarts, and kaplin of >> i am with the alliance for biking and walking and an organi

we understand, that the affordability crisis cannot be solved by one piece of legislation, or one city department. this is an effort that we all face, the mayor's office and the board of supervisors, and the cool district, and so we are really really happy to see this, first step, from this school district, and taking leadership on, and helping the city family much aligned address this affordable gap. and so, he wanted to signal his strong support for this project. and really, continued work, with other members other elected and other city departments on all that we can do because this is an emergency, this is a unique situation, because we are seeing, as previously said, a record setting, at a number of evictions and rents that are just skyrocketing and so, just thank you for being part of this solution, and you know, the board of supervisors will try to do their part, but really we recognize the role and the leadership of the board of education in this case. so thank you. >> thank you. >> >> i also would like to recognize former supervisor olagi who has joined us in the audience and

we are one of the most walkable cities in america. and we are a city of neighborhoods. and it is part of the great attraction, the fact that we are geographickly small means that you can do a lot of what you want to do in san francisco, on foot. which is a great thing. in terms of cycling we are one of the most bicycle friendly cities and it is a fast growing mode of transportation in san francisco and we have seen a lot of growth of creative ways of getting around and we launch the bike sharing a couple of months ago and san francisco has been a leader in car sharing. and a lot of other services are developing to try to make it easier for people to get around the city. but we are also not without our challenges and i made reference, already, and i will and i don't think that i need to talk about the challenges that we have with the muni and despite the fact that we are a very walkable city, in terms of pedestrian safety, we really compare pretty unfavorably to many other major cities in the united states, really the exact opposite of where we want to be. and our bicycl
