it says we believe in free city because city college is fun. our judy goodman, she's the best teacher in the world, and i'd like to say maya scott, you know her, maya scott, she's the teacher. she's from the city college. i do. i like city college a lot. i like it. no, i think that's it. take care. love you. yeah, love you, too. bye. >> good morning, supervisors, and welcome, supervisor stefani. my name is sue ann linder, and i'm a professor in social science. i first came to city college in 1977, and i came back as an older adult to transition from nursing to teaching history. i'm devoted to student success. recently, the new york state legislature passed a bill for $7.5 billion to implement free state and city schools. we don't have that option because of prop 13. we must do a set-aside here, and this is not a set aside, it's a payment forward for real student and adult success in san francisco and huge social and economic impact. thank you so much for your time. >> hi. monica collins. i did work at city college for a long time. i went there

bond, and city adviser. the financing team has met several times and developed the final issuance document and the legislative package before you. item 16 is a ground lease for approval of the same project. it's a ground lease approval, i'm sorry. the term of the lease is 75 years, with option to extend for 24 years. the annual base rent is $15,000. this and all the other terms of the ground lease before you are consistent with most city policies and other ground lease for affordable housing approved by the board of supervisors. item 17 is for a jurisdictional transfer of the property where the project is located. it's currently owned by the real estate division who will transfer it to the city. as stated in the related resolution, both departments have determined that the property could be used more advantageously by the city for affordable housing. we asked the committee to recommend the resolutions and forward to the full board. as for timeline, the financing team is on track to close this transaction by

first i love free city college. i think it's one of to the few policies the board of supervisors have passed in the history of this body that has the potential to profoundly change the inequality we're all battling with here in san francisco. the possibility that exists in the program is worth funding. it's worth funding with a stable source and worth funding over a long period of time. it's worth making that choice of priority here in san francisco. i want to chime in on the ongoing debate on set-asides. i get both sides of this debate. it's a hard one. what ultimately -- what usually what i usually end of fight the set-aside side of the debate, the board of supervisors has an limited budget of $11 million and the mayor's budget office is responsible and the departments for setting the priority. and we have a month to review $11 million and then we battle between 11 of us at the end over a paltry part of money given the size of the budget. if you want to promote, create and see a big ideas become successful, it's r

moscone's embrace of diversity in san francisco city government has endured, and today, our city is led by a strong african american woman mayor -- yes, that's worthy of applause. [applause] >> supervisor mandelman: we are the city that leads the resistance and a board of supervisors that is majority female who is led by a president who is another strong african american woman, and that also -- and there she is. [applause] >> supervisor mandelman: malia cohen, everyone, and hillary ronen, and we do have assembly man david chiu. and it's aaron peskin from district three, thank you, and kathr kathrin stefani, and carmen chu, and joanne hayes-white is here, and. >> president cohen: we now have a coquorum. >> supervisor mandelman: we know have a quorum, and we're in violation of the brown act, and we're now going to jail. in 1978, harvey milk said his election would give people two new options. move to san francisco was one or stay and fight, and they did both. and a few weeks ago, we had this great, wonderful blue wave that we're all still sort of basking in. but part of that blue wave was

with livable cities. grateful for livable cities for educating not only the world but our staff in terms of having a livable city and coming to meetings like this to represent that importance and also echoing with my colleague and the gentleman in terms of the last few weeks of the weather and how it basically took effect and the reality [ please stand by... ] it became so ever present we need to do something proactive about climate change. we have an easy opportunity to start a conversation about the use of single-car ownership and how much that actually creates enormous amounts of emission for our state and the majority of our emissions are coming from vehicles. i do urge all of our leaders to take up this conversation and be the first major city here in the united states to remove the minimum parking requirements and start a dialogue how each community can make a sacrifice. towards the greater good and a climate we can all continue to live in. and i want to end on a note that i am from district 10, spe

we have history in this city. we can directly trace the lgbt civil rights movement back to the corner of turk and taylor where in 1966, the riots was the first documented collective uprising of lgbt individuals in the country. [applause] >> the riots recently inspired the founding of the transgendered cultural district. the first officially recognized transgendered district in this country. [applause] >> it's important that we remember this history. and that we consider how it impacts us today. the tenderloin is still has the highest concentration of trends -- transgender folks in san francisco. this is changing with the tide of new development. the transgendered cultural district was created not just as a way of preserving the importance of the legacy of the tenderloin, but also as a mechanism to push back against the displacement of the transgendered community. it was created to be an advocate to serve as a resource and a safe space. it is has been -- it has been my honor to present the district thus far along w

i am a city college student born and raised in the city and i am studying women's studies. i want to say that this strengthens our communities. many people, classmates, friends , wouldn't be able to attend if free city wasn't here. it is important to keep education accessible in this society where they are -- education is often for profit. it doesn't really seem like too much to ask for object of education not to bankrupt students. so let's move this further. >> hello. my name is jason and i am a resident of san francisco and the supporter of san francisco rising. i personally have witnessed the power education has in cultivating informed, engaged, creative and caring neighbours and citizens and that is exactly why i voted yes on prop w. i believe we must reduce barriers to education. it goes for our undocumented neighbours, it goes for the increased people that will be attending city college. because once free city college comes out more and more, enrolment will go up. it is disappointing to know that after my neighbours passed prop w., there was an undercutting of funding

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 seaman's 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 every house prefer to live in. as a business while we're here in london and london's got a huge debate going on about air pollution but if i think about it probably moved to the countryside. an understandable attitude for an expert in pollution levels in major urban centers. now this is a recurring question in the twenty first century how do we make our cities cleaner and greener germinal to promote is doing his bit by building in commercializing the city crews a

to the city go to city college and are spent wisely. they are spent wisely. we have had many discussions about how to make sure that every single penny that the city gives that city college spends in those invoices that we get are justified. the funding of this thing right now is going well. it is being served by everybody and i definitely support this. i also support supervisor yi's moved to make it a 20 year program. it should be unstoppable because of the advantages you've heard. i can't speak anymore beautifully as you have heard today here. i support it all. thank you. >> good afternoon again. i spoke before you all two years ago after the voters of san francisco past prop w. i voted for that. you kept your promise. now i support locking in that promise with the charter amendment. i say if a program is successful it helps the diverse community in the city in an extremely equitable manner we should continue its. given the realities we live in now, the only people who oppose this amendment are republicans. do not want to be -- not be a republican swamp mon

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

the city is not functioning. if you live here and you have your feet on the ground and you walk about the city, you find you are gridlocked everywhere you go. there is a huge denial from here to the whole supervisor's board as to what is going on. and how to make a world-class city that we can all live and that really represents a city of san francisco, the city that is meant to be a liberal bastion, a place for us all to love and to get beyond the hatred that is coming out of washington. i was raised this way. i will end it on that. it is not really a sanctuary city for people who need help. it is a sanctuary city for rich people. you have to stop bending over and lubricating their bank accounts and letting them sell us down the river. thank you. please keep that in mind. >> thank you. next speaker, please,. >> and in two minutes, i will tell you what a mess that's your previous directors made of the whole taxi business. in 2009, the m.t.a. took over the taxi business. one of the things that was given to them in

his city.ies and gentlemen, i am just delighted that he decided to work, not for me, he actually worked with me. he did so in the most generous, gratuitous way and believe me, every day of my life, when i think of our city and the resources of this city, i placed ed lee at the highest. [applause] >> thank you. i want to take this opportunity to acknowledge many of the elected officials who have joined us here today, including our city attorney, dennis herrera, our supervisor, catherine stefani, hilary ronen, katy tang, and president of the board of supervisors, melia cohen. as well as community college board members. our public defender as well. thank you for joining us here today and as we acknowledge former mayors. [applause] >> she will be speaking. as i said to, the family of mayor lee is here today, including his wife and two doctors and other members of the family. at this time, i would like to invite his daughter who last week, when we were in san francisco sacramento and the mayor was i

the city has went on. i know a lot of what we are doing at the port, mayor's lee vision is in front of our eyes. we have a new mayor. it is nice to know the citizens are resilient. i know mayor lee would be very proud. i want to personally thank the public for your support this year with the sea wall bond and coming to the port commission supporting the commission even when you didn't agree with the commissioners, we need to hear that. we understand we work for you. we need to hear when you agree and when you don't agree. i want to track the director and the staff for all hard work. we are five tough commissioners, we push to the limit. we want to say thank you to the staff. you need to hear it from us publicly what we feel about you. you spend time away from your families. sometimes we don't get it right but we do it best. this port belongs to the people. we understand that. we are pushing hard because we understand our responsibility. i want to thank all our commissioners, our skippers, president brandon

people in the city. then you turn around and give salary increases and the bus drivers as an example how you can't even afford to live in the city. then you give salary increases acting like you're helping people afford to live in the city, while you sit there on your tail end all day. i can tell you one place you weren't sitting at -- >> president cohen: any other speakers? any other speakers? none? public comment's closed. all right. let's take up this matter, supervisors. all right, we'll take this item without objection. make a motion to approve and send to the full board with a positive recommendation as a committee report. thank you. all right, next item, item 7, please. >> clerk: item 7 retroactively authorizing the port of san francisco to accept and expend a grant award in the amount of $5 million from the california natural resources agency bonds and grants office to support the port's san francisco seawall earthquake safety and disaster prevention program for the period of august 15, 2018, thr

who would take the city. on that ankle is on a political diet for a whole month now the parliamentarian from south of has based his food budget on a local pensioners living wage spending just three thousand five hundred roubles or around forty six euros to. the communist party politician only buys the bare basics and says he's been hungry all month issue but i want to prove that living on three thousand five hundred roubles a month is impossible without a negative effect on your health and shoot. some accuse the politician of populism others here at south of market tank him and that includes pushing to double the living wage in russia his campaign has gotten a huge amount of media attention along with us a russian federal t.v. crew is also filming him preparing his rations but to bomb that ankle this is more than just p.r. and bigger than his health. i don't think that a month on this diet is enough to seriously damage a normal person's health in the long run of course i have worried about my health but what

, one pentagon city. we are virginia's largest walkable downtown. making it feel more walkable to the leveling of the elevated highways to the connectivity to the airport and, frankly, to the nuts and bolts stuff arlington has been committed to her decades which is improving street states, curbs, street trees, retail the provides visual interest. those commitments all joined with a bigger infrastructure, bigger infrastructure projects to create a sense of the walkable neighborhood for both business tenants as well as residents and neighbors. >> well, thank you. there's a lot more that can be the basis for some audience question, so now going to see if anyone has any? yes, gentleman over here. >> was interested to about amazon description people from driving. people are still going to drive. i mean, does government have any carrots and sticks to stop that? you know, people will still drive and the roads are tight. >> that's a great question. i'd be happy to take a first step. first of all, great to see you

the city council on record about this. the city council also voted for a switch in their water source, but that vote did not include using the flint river which is what -- which is what catalyzed this crisis. >> so in essence, was it the state government's fault at this point? because there's been some discussion of whether it was the city who caused this or the state who caused this, and everybody seems to have suffered politically. >> right. well, in a lot of ways, that question is being contested in courtrooms right now, but yes, the state has the bulk of the responsibility here. the local government, for whatever vote they might have made, did not have the power of their vote. both the political authorities through the emergency manager, the oversight responsibility of our department of environmental quality and our health and human services department, they had the bulk of the responsibility for the water crisis. >> where is flint getting its water these days? >> they are back on detroit's water system, back to gettin

this free city college is a way that we survive in this city. it is one of the many tools that we have. >> next speaker. >> hi, supervisors. i have been in san francisco, i have lived here, i feel like i am an adoptee since 1969. i have two doctors. i completed -- i have two daughters. city college was practically free in those days. like in the late seventies. on my two daughters graduated there peerk city college is the heart of san francisco. the teachers are fabulous. the class is a fabulous. i was so proud of san francisco when city college became free at last year. bernie sanders came out and was congratulating us on having free city college. this city is so expensive. people are struggling to have a roof over their heads, and then there's other people who are very rich in this city. this is one of -- this is the most expensive city in the country, actually. in california -- california is the richest state in the world -- >> thank you. thank you so much. thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i work with first-generation and low incom

in the city administrator's office. you know, a lot of the presentations are put together before the camp fire, before we knew this was happening and they all seem to apply to the experiences there. and after the lifeline -- the lifelines committee was put together after hurricane katrina that affected new orleans and city administrator at the time, ed lee, put together a group of utility providers to sort of work out and lifeline providers to discuss how we're going to recover, how we're going to get services up and running, how we're going to work together from a major event. for us, it's earthquake. for new orleans it was a hurricane. but really, you know, this gets to the heart of recovery, you know, the project goal that we're talking about here is how we can quickly recover from a major earthquake by assessing and improving the restoration and performance of lifelines. so, one of the steps that we've been working on since then is getting together with the lifeline providers. this is a list of the different agencie

it is not the city i once loved. i have been a city worker since 2013 and i have witnessed firsthand how my black colleagues are bypassed for promotions. i have served clients who are clearly not getting the effective and meaningful service they deserve from the staff promoted and giving those vital jobs. not only is this an employee probe of problem, this is impacting the vulnerable san franciscans we are supposed to serve. my agency acts more like it is a career ladder a stepping stone for employees rather than an agency to provide vital services my union is clearly demonstrating the facts to demonstrate the systemic racism that is occurring. this is a city that constantly is condoning the use of the n-word. there is no way this is acceptable. not only do the racist get away with it, their victims are retaliated against. are a city is paying out lawsuits rather than doing what is right in the first place. finally, there is the g. a. r. e. inequity initiative which my agency treats like a joke. they handpicked peopl

been going all out to reclaim their city's status as the cleanest city in the country. michiru was given the cleanest city award by the government two years in a row and then we came in third in twenty seventeen and this year we're eighth the whole administration all these workers all of us are trying very hard to go back to number one. but my subaru produces about four hundred tons of waste every day fifty percent of this is treated accomplice plants well a quarter of it is processed by recycling units the national figures however aren't quite as impressive as india produces about sixty two million tons of waste every year one of the largest generators in the world well eighty two percent of it is collected only a quarter gets treated most of the waste invariably ends up in landfills and open dumpsites two decades ago the local government here decided to set up a zero waste management plant in the north. waste management plant was going to set the stage for the rest of the city. they'd always moneys when does like norway's go . through the integration so we had company

new business. >> i have recorded a item to have the city family return on the city wide resiliency in six months to a year. we will put that on the calendar. any other new business? >> any other new business? i want to thank you and the staff for a great year. it has been challenging but a great year. thank you so much and happy holidays for everyone. >> motion to adjourn. >> motion to adjourn in the memory of bernie mcdonald and mayor lee. all in favor. meeting adjourned. >> merry christmas. >> for tuesday, december 18. miss dowd, would you please read the roll. >> clerk: yes.

there are other city-wide project labor agreements and other city agencies. i know supervisor fewer brought her experience to the table for the work she did at the unified school district. [please stand by] now all the affected parties will come together over the next nine months to a year and negotiate a final citywide project labor agreement with these parameters. we want to emphasize it was inclusive in terms of negotiations. all the affected parties were at the negotiating table. and again, at the end of the day, this was a hard fought negotiation, but everyone compromised to get where we are. protect workers, small businesses, but to have city-funded projects again be a pathway for all opportunities in these fields. again, i want to thank everyone. i think that this is a phenomenal compromise and i want to thank all the different stakeholders from the building trades, local, federal agencies, mayor, the city administer for two years of hard work, everyone's patience, but in the end, 50% done. and now the real work begins with the leadership of the affect

how much more can our city bear? and we all know that during that challenging time when we lost two amazing leaders in our city, mayor moscone and supervisor milk, it was a really tough time in 1978. it was a tough time because of jonestown and the loss of over 900 san franciscans, and then, to lose our leaders soon after that. and we as a city, we came together. we came together to support one another, we came together to encourage one another, and what came out of that tragedy was two amazing legacies. two individuals who represented hope for so many people. and many may not be aware, the younger generation now may not be aware how significant it was to have harvey milk, who was the first lgbt member of the board of supervisors and then elected in the state of california. many were not aware of how amazing it was to have george moscone become mayor, someone who not only talked about inclusiveness, but who somehow made the kind of appointments that just weren't happening here in the city of san francisco, to appoint

to do business with the city, legacy businesses must be suppliers with the city in the county of san francisco. they have access to one-on-one consulting. assistance with the registry applications. technical assistance. and workshops offered around the san francisco small business development sector at no cost. the topics are marketing, manage, books, training, access to capital and technology. providing assistance to legacy businesses impacted by the construction project. from april to september, the semi-annual period. recorded in the previous quarterly report. and additional from july to september are shown here. and square footage of the replications were about 2600 square feet. there reporting period, we have the legacy business plan. now, the press articles, the legacy businesses and the legacy business program for the quarter between july and september, including specs. the legacy businesses. and victoria bakery which is a legacy business, the legacy business program was also mentioned in the article. legacy businesses are featured in articles. and new additions to the registr

would it be the city or the california state? and the reason i'm asking is because i have a lot of concerns regarding citizens aside from government workers being evacuated. who would i really talk to? would it be the department of emergency services within the city? or would it be within the state, maybe the military or the governors' office? i'm a little curious who would handle something like that. >> well, the department of emergency management, we own the -- we have an evacuation plan. our evacuation is scenario-based, but i'm sure one of our staff could speak to you after the meeting and get a little more detail about what you're looking for. >> any other public comment? so, thanks, everyone for hanging in a few extra minutes. appreciate you being here.

and transit-first city. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. i want to take a moment to acknowledge the planning staff for their work and their time. i appreciate it. i will be voting no on this. colleagues, you heard me at length last week going into great detail. i believe that the city sometimes makes decisions trying to be the first and trying to catch headlines and i think they do it at the expense of those of us in the southeast or just grasping trying to catch up with some of the other policies that are already in existence. so i will be voting no on item 15 today. seeing there are no other names on the roster, madam clerk, please call roll call. [roll call vote] >> clerk: there are 7 ayes and 4 nos with safai, stefani, yee and cohen in the dissent. >> president cohen: this ordinance is finally passed. next item. >> clerk: item 16 ordinance to amend the police code to prohibit private post secondary institutions from using an application form to ask applicants about criminal history for the purpo

the city attorney is an elected official of the city and county of san francisco. this commission has four or five different jurisdictional ordinances, and the subject matter of the last public comment is not a part of those legal responsibilities of this commission. and i'll observe again that people have sometimes a misimpression that almost when all else fails, go to the ethics commission, and the ethics commission will act on some complaint on a public elected official, failure to execute public responsibilities or a city department or employee's failure to act in a certain way. we are not all things to all the people of the city and county of san francisco. thank you. >> thank you. >> agenda item number 11, discussion and possible action on items for future meetings. commissioner kopp? >> i have a request for preliminary review of statements, activities, and actions which are reflected in a newspaper article that was published three days ago. it's about seven pages. i have underlined what i consider pertinent portions of it. it involves a city employee by the

we allow for the city to do their audits. after we set the baseline over a three-year period we allow them to do their audits outside of the budget process. we allow for more flexibility for city agency to hire because the hiring process cannot meet the goals of this legislation so we worked with the department of environment aggressively over the last year to craft this legislation. we talked with the port, we talked with sfusd, with the small business commission and the city administrator. we talked to sfmta. we talked to almost every single entity that would be impact and made concessions and amendments. at the heart as i say in closing and if individuals have questions, i'm happy to answer them, we move the effective date back from january 1, 2019 to july 1, 2019. we allow for a three-year period to do the audit to set the baseline and know already without doing the baseline how well almost 100% of the people are doing. i have amendments today and one last set of amendments to take into consideration. for non-profit affor
