it will present on lessons learned and the status of the citywide rollout. since january 1st, i have met with the three captains who cover my district in district seven. of particular note, a piece that was the site of a tragic murder last summer, captain bailey significantly reduced car break-ins and much of this is also due to the emergency task force that i created with the late mayor lee and other supervisors and sfmta and department of technology, recreation and parks and public works. which increased camera surveillance and crime prevention signage. i want to thank my cosponsors for this hearing. supervisor ronen, fewer, kim and stefani. since supervisor stefani also called a hearing on the topic of neighborhood crime units, we will be holding a joint hearing today. i would like -- before i invite everyone, would supervisor stefani like to make a comment? >> thank you. thank you to the chair and the public safety committee for hearing this item today. i want to thank supervisor yee for working with me on this hearing. car break-ins and property crime h

there some minor expenditures on our citywide programs that are ongoing now and that will be complete shortly. next. this slide shows you where we are at today. this is a period of immense activity for us in 2019 and 2020 as we move towards the second phase of our bond projects. we are in the implementation phase of these projects. with the opening of the recreation centre in march, seven of the 14 voter approved neighborhood park projects are now open to the public. the schedule for the remaining park projects listed on this slide all remaining shows all remaining projects are now in construction or going through the bidding and award phase. sixty-five% of funds allocated for the neighborhood parks program have either been spent or encumbered. this is a slide to show you the program highlights. six projects from our program are either starting construction or will be in construction in the spring of this year. we completed a very, very successful community vision process early this year, which was adopted by the recreation and parks commission. there are some projects that came out o

they are the amount of building an infrastructure construction going on citywide which is driving up cost and it can sometimes add to the contracting process and the timing of the contracting process and fewer bidders are out there. we are seeing that in particular on some of the signals projects. large multi- agencies projects. we have a number of these projects which are coordinated with sewer, water and also with paving and coordination on those projects is going well but it does open up the window for additional delays to these projects because they are so complex. another one of the lessons we learned that we talked about a lot last year was that for some of our moving forward projects. we had underestimated the amount of time it would take to public outreach and engagement on these projects. i'm happy to report that we've done a really significant revamp of that whole process in our agency and we are really proud of it. we are now starting our outreach much earlier. we require all projects to go through a full public engagement plan, and we have a tremendous amount of training

this project as alluded to by the previous speaker, highlights the need for a citywide assessment of the city's era and influence on that era internationally. the recommendation that we made in our comment earlier is that we hope as part of any mitigation program that there be a citywide context study funded in part through this project to help not only inform any interpretive effort on this site, preservation efforts but also to help identify significant historic resources related to this particular era in the city's history. thank you very much. >> any other member wish to speak on this item. we'll close public comment. commissioners, our role here is to review and comment on the draft e.i.r. on the findings in the e.i.r. regarding historic resources and on the advocacy of the alternative that have been presented. do we have any comments? members of the a.r.c. who saw that project before, do you want to weigh in on what you saw then and what you see now? commissioner pearlman. >> commissioner pearlman: thank you. these kind of comments are always very challenging for me because we'

is the largest funding recipient and the citywide spending plan. it includes a hundred $50,000 for capacity building for risk populations. million dollars for flexible housing subsidy pool and 300,000 4 barrier removal increasing access to affordable housing. there is a significant investment in eviction prevention, defence funds, in line with the prop f. approval that was passed in june. and mr chiu was here to tell us about their spending plan. thank you. >> thank you. i have the power powerpoint set up on the laptop. >> san francisco government t.v. , we will need the powerpoint. there is. >> as other departments discussed, we went through similar requests for proposals process with the majority of our discretionary funds. we had a total of 17 allocations directed to us and we also had an additional 12 to allocations that game to other departments but decided to have us administer them. they were administered through a competitive r.f.p. process, for four of the allocations. we are able to add them directly onto existing grants because we had do

the removal of parking minimums citywide. when heard of the planning commission on october 18th, the commissioners went above and beyond recommendations because they recognize that the antiquated land use policies in san francisco have a real and negative impact on our city's ability to live out our transit first policy. as a city, we should provide ourselves -- pride ourselves, excuse me, on upholding the highest and best standards when it comes to urban planning principles. this means development, especially housing, is much more expensive. it induces the demand for driving and with san francisco, they have the third worst traffic and the nation. is irresponsible to say no to best practices for land use and transportation. for the sake of future generations, we strongly encourage you to move forward with a recommendation today. thank you. >> good afternoon. and the planning director of the sfmta. i am here to say that the m.t.a. very much appreciates the actions taken by the planning commission and by supervisor kim and the

this quarter's audit highlight is city services auditors citywide fleet manager audits. they issued the report to the general services agency, however, this report does not apply to the p.u.c. even though we were a participant by providing field data for their field work and supporting documentation, as well. the audit objective was to assess whether the city effectively managed the life cycle of its vehicle fleet. city service auditor made 11 total recommendations to the general services agency that included improvements to the coordination of vehicle purchases prior to department budget approvals. also further clarifying the see emissions vehicle ordinance. again, these recommendations did not apply to the sfpuc. g.s.a. did partially or fully concurred with all of the recommendations. our current out lock in q-2 ending december 31, we're expected to complete the following audited. a citywide cart audit financial audit for fiscal year 16-17, as well as a royalties lease equipment audit. we will also hope to issue or assess fiscal year 17-18 financial statements for all

this should be pursued citywide. we urge you to support the legislation to eliminate minimum parking requirements. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. tom, executive director of livable city. we are here to urge you to support this legislation. as the case was made by paul and the folks from planning, this is an incremental step. not a big radical step. it's an incremental step, a journey that started in 1973, with the opening of b.a.r.t. where the city began to roll back the parking requirements that had been imposed in the 19 50's. the reason we have been rolling them back is a lot of the reasons you heard. they destroy streetscapes and neighborhoods. if you are concerned about green front yards, getting rid of minimum parking requirements is a great way to keep our front yards green, to keep neighborhoods urbane and walkable. process outlines a lot of different ways you could get exceptions for minimum parking requirements but also mentioned by the city attorney, everyone of those as is appealable. so to sa

proposals, what's your level of support for these different citywide proposals. you can see the top is protect, restore the bay. next is restore the tuolomne. and remarkably, the third is affordable housing. this is just pointing out that i think that it's well worth your time on that subject, and thank you for taking so much time on this subject. i thank you for your time, and thank you so much for doing so. >> thank you so much for your comment. mr. mcmannis. barry, did we -- sorry, barry. i just went right by it. good afternoon. >> john mcmannis. did you mean to call me? is it my turn? >> yes. >> okay. great. president, golden gait salmon association. don't want to repeat points that i've made here last several times that we've spoken, but i think one thing that's become clear is no matter how this goes in front of the state board, there's a need to develop plan b with alternative water supplies. how you get there, how fast is going to be up to you guys, but it seems to me to be the sooner the better, and it seems to me there are alternatives that aren't being

our commission adopted our goals in 2017 as well, to complete the citywide enrolments by july of 2019 or sooner, if possible. we are on track to what we had intended to. they've also, the commission has given us direction to have our target for renewable energy content for our basic -- basic product, to be 50% by the end of 2020, or sooner if possible. we are on target for that in our procurement efforts. we have now enrolled 30% of the accounts in san francisco. that's about 230 megawatts of average demands. our plan for completing citywide enrolment includes the april enrolments that i mentioned, predominantly residential accounts. about 280,000. that will bring our load up an additional 115 megawatts, and once we've completed that, we are expecting to serve for 305,000 accounts, and that will be 340, 350 megawatts total. our largest commercial accounts, we will in role subsequently and we feel that's important for us to do on a customer by customer basis. these are folks whose energy bills are a major part of their business operations and we want to engage with them individually to

was also taken out of the proposed ordinance and will be subject to the citywide inclusionary requirements the land use committee voted unanimously to accept the ordinance and continue it to the november 5th land use committee meeting to allow time for the change to be properly noted. the committee considered supervisor if you are's ordinance that would create the 43,029th avenue s. ud to allow social services on property owned by a church. as you heard this item on october 11th of this year and recommended approval with modifications. the main modification was to make sure there would be no on site services provided. during the hearing, supervisor cam gave opening remarks and propose the ordinance be amended to include sir george include the recommendations. that amended was added without objection. there is no public comment on this item and it was recommended to the full board with a positive recommendation. they submitted a flexible retail ordinance. you heard this item and recommended approval with modifications. those modifications included items at supervisor tang presented to the c

we are looking for support for a number of citywide festivals like the black film festival and others in terms of the support and capacity. that is being recommended to go to the african-american arts and culture complex to build their financial capacity for a fair amount of the fiscal sponsorship support for individual artists and other organizations that do not have nonprofit status. as i mentioned, this will go to the full commission for review and approval on january 7th. there is an arrow that it should be 2019, not 2018. we will review that the accountability on these grants. we have a new nonprofit compliance officer. we are excited to have a program officer dedicated specifically to the compliance work that we do in partnership with the controller's office and our peer departments. any organization that has received funds for more than two city departments go through the formal joint compliance monitoring, but all grantees will be reporting through a budget narrative, expense reporting and then the broader nonprofit compliance monitoring. i'm happy to take any questions. >> an

but citywide have been impacted by the seismic retrofit work? >> we haven't done an official inventory of the number of restaurants that have been impacted. there are a total of 1,007 properties that are tier 4 properties, which consist of the ground floor commercial properties that are required to do the mandatory soft story. and to date, 285 of those properties have completed their soft story retrofit so that has included some restaurants. what we have heard from restaurants is because some of the soft story work for non restaurant businesses can be done while the business is open, they just work in sections but for restaurants because of health code requirements really need to close their business. i really appreciate supervisor mandelman and department of public works and public health finding it's not a solution for all restaurants but it is a solution for restaurants that either currently have a mobile food truck or plan to have a mobile food truck, you know, not just for the closure of the soft story retrofit, but due to the investment of

citywide project labor agreement public work or improvement projects. ordinance amending the administrative code to require citywide project labor agreement applicable to certain types of public work or improvement projects with projected costs over the threshold amount ranging from 1 million two 5 million depending on the year in which the advertisement for bid is release or 10 million if the project is funded by a source other than a general obligation bond. or why delay in completing the project may interrupt or delay services where use of facilities a discussion and action item. presenters are members of the local business enterprise community. >> welcome. >> good afternoon, commissioners thank you for the opportunity to update you on the pending legislation. it is scheduled to go to the budget and finance committee on thursday of this week. i apologize. due to some efforts from mayor breed, and supervisors, a lot of hours and a lot of time was spent in front of his doors and behind doors. trying to hammer out a piece of legislation that was amiable

so, citywide, i actually come to report good news. we -- and i'll break it down in violent crimes and property crimes, because the way our crimes are reported, for those of you that are interested in criminal justice, what we call part one crimes, those are all the serious crimes, and every law enforcement agency in the nation has a report to the fbi what their crime statistics are at the end of every year, and those are the part one crimes that you see, the chronicle does a story on how san francisco is tracking, it's usually going to be on those end-of-year crime statistics. so those crimes are murder or homicides, rape, robberies, assault, burglaries, motor vehicle theft, arson, larceny, or theft. overall, our city, we're down in violent crimes and total crimes, and property crimes. so our total crimes, we have had 50,060 for the year, which is a large number, but we're down -- sorry, that was this time last year. we're down to 46,280 crimes year to date, which is about a 7.5% decrease in crime. now, that's the difference of about

but at least we have had that opportunity to have a full vetting with the community it citywide. i don't think that this is a conversation that should be rushed. >> thank you. i think we were just discussing perhaps reaching out to the planning staff in terms of some of the community groups that we would love for you to have a discussion with. may be understanding what it actually means will help alleviate some of the concerns around this. certainly i think i, and other supervisors are getting flooded with e-mails. both in support but also showing concerns. may be we can share that with you and continue that conversation on another date at land use. if that's ok. so while i would love to pass this out at committee today, i will respect my colleagues in asking for more outreach to be done in their districts. i do wants the committee members to be as specific as possible about what the outreach that needs to be done would look like i would hate for us to come back on november 26th. we don't have a land use committee on the 19th. and then have done some outreach and then hear from c
