some of the big citywide issues that impact the district include transportation. we had more muni service and some other districts. it is not always reliable. some of the major bus lines in the district are not reliable. we have major projects like the renovation of delores park. it is an opportunity to define what the park is and what changes we want to make to it. that is going to be and port project, the same thing with glen canyon that is going to undergo a lot of work. one of the most challenging parts of the new district supervisor is that we elect the supervisors by district. it is very important to pay attention to the district, be engaged in the projects in the district. we also represent the whole city. any district supervisor that focuses on the district without addressing the citywide issues is not doing his or her job. every day, i make sure i am working on the major citywide issues and the district issues. i try to be disciplined about that. >> how will you approach the tough choices? >> i think we have to start by looking at the most critical city s

it is a citywide issue. there's the issue of what can be done in house as opposed to out of house and we definitely will work with the unions to try to make sure we are not doing something that would impact our employees. >> thank you. >> the other thing i want to say in terms of next year's budget, the first reading of the budget for the bird -- for the board of supervisors occurred yesterday. it was unanimously approved and the second reading will be on next tuesday. the budget will become effective -- technically there is a budget right now, but it will be effective on august 1st. >> thank you. >> an update on proposed legislation. >> the only update we have -- our presenter be best to it, the legislation going before the boot -- before the board of supervisors and august. the amount of money involved in our lean cycle is $222,000. we do expect to receive that money on the tax bills by next april. that will be revenue for next year's budget if people pay their property taxes. on the legislation, i passed

as a supervisor, i do have to be able to balance managing citywide issues, which is very important, but at the same time, focusing on the specific needs of your neighborhood. that is really important to us. one of the things we need to prioritize is that making sure we focus on the nuts and bolts of government. a lot of the calls we get involved fixing alights, replacing a pothole. i think it is really important to make sure we get those things right and we try to work very closely with the city agency to make sure government is responsive. if we do not do those things right, those little things, which are big things in life of a neighborhood. >> how you reconcile the needs of your district with the needs of the city? supervisor campos: i think it is possible to do that. even though we have these great districtwide elections, i think district election still allow you to deal with larger issues. we feel that we certainly have demonstrated that as a board. individual supervisors have demonstrated that. one of the pieces of legislation we worked on last year that we are very proud of is th

council president larry reid and councilman ignacio de la fuente are pushing for a citywide curfew and to enforce and expand current gang injunction from fruitvale to east and west oakland. they are similar to restraining orders. mayor jean quan says it's political grandstanding. the community members have varied views on the subject as well but most agree that something needs to be done. >> it's just hard.

-- it is the southwest part of the city and my hope as you work with the supervisors to look at citywide -- at least in the richmond district, you have six or seven sites, but not in that outer richmond. my hope is by looking a pilot projects like this you can help figure out how to expand and raise the awareness in other areas of the city and not just central areas you currently are located late. i appreciate supervisor cohen's comments. my understanding is with the pilot program, four of them are in district 3 areas where there is clear demand and the others are chosen in areas where there is clear demand for city car share, but that is my understanding. pfft supervisor cohen: when we are talking about clear demand -- in order for anything to be clear, it has to be bought about, there has to be analysis and data collection. when you look at the map, the car sure companies don't even exist. there is a pronounced need for those of you came to the hearing, there is a level of dysfunction with services on the southernmost eastern part of our neighborhoods. >> we very much appreciate the po

allowing this as a citywide policy will open up site- appropriate locations. the permit would still have to be issued. it would still have to get the public bedding, -- public vetting, and if it is an inappropriate location, it would not be allowed. certainly within the soma district, the entirety of it not being included i think is really lacking. i certainly do not want to see this legislation delay any further. there are further considerations -- let's say in the digital realm -- i have friends that perform with game controllers. how is enforcement capacity going to make that determination on that? again, we do not want to see anything that would delay the passage. thank you so much for hearing this. i will be passed on to the full supervisors board tomorrow. thank you. supervisor mirkarimi: 90. next speaker please. >> good afternoon, again. this time speaking as a san francisco resident. i live in district 6 where a lot of small businesses and coffee houses and things like that are trying to get off the ground. a lot of them know that i do stuff at city ha

the one thing i really enjoyed was i got to run within a district instead of citywide, was that i really to know voters and residents. i actually enjoy campaigning more because i had time to knock on doors and the voters individually. i'd love it. i actually really enjoyed being out on the field. so i spent a lot of time doing it because i got to really get a deeper understanding of what people care about and what people's concerns are and also what people loved about the district and the city. i was talking with the mayor yesterday. he was very interested in seeing how the good work with our office -- how he could work with our office. i would love to see how we could support small businesses because they are the heart at san francisco. they provide 60% 07% of the jobs in sanford cisco, and they provide it locally, and they are not going to offshore their jobs any time. i am not an opponent of cleaning up the tenderloin. i love the tenderloin. i love what is right now. i recognize we have a diversity of books that live there and people do not want to see open drug dealing. i do not have

>> we have been working with the department of technology on a citywide addressing system and we have been testing it. it is almost ready to go live. what they will do is for any proposed new address thing to dbi and they will verify whether the address is a verifiable address and approve it. but the customer will still have to come in and it will be at the help desk. there are several ways we are verifying addresses now. we have google maps and we can pull up a picture of the house and see what is going on. we're also going back and verifying the number of units before we get the requests for additional addresses to make sure they are legal and there is a whole process of going in place that is brand new to to the fact the city's address will override the address system and dbi will be providing the street number addresses. before they just sent the lots to the assessor and the system address to be assigned, nobody assign the address. we probably have about 10,000 addresses to be assigned, due to the fact that there are apartment units. that will help us when we go to the new permit
