dpw tags only at the dpw yard. they do not tag anything that they take while it is on site. how could that possibly result in accurate tagging? >> thank you. >> may i use the overhead for video? i am taylor. i am a mission resident, member of the sf bike coalition and latino democratic club. i want be to share a quick video on the overhead from february. this is pushing down rain. -- pouring down rain. there is rain on division and mission street. there are bicycles and tents inside the dpw truck facilitated by the police. this is unacceptable. it is a waste of money. resources should be towards services and housing and supporting people to live a better life with those services and not police intervention. defund the police activity on every homeless encampment and bring the neighbors to spaces they want to be. thank you. >> i am john jones. i recently took a train tip from los angeles to san francisco and from bakers field to emryville one gets to see from the window of the train numerous homeless encampments. most of us get to see these encampmentses, congregation of tent

they say a dozen residents communicated with dpw. if you count the number of people there is a lot more than 12. we learned some neighbors just begun to understand where this is going. they thought the mailing was a mistake as we initially did and we believe others have nod why of the actual proposed location. we believe they conveniently chose this address for the location of the cell tower to confuse public and neighbors and to get away with placing something in one of the most historic and visited sites in the entire city. >> overhead please. >> hello. my name is jane newman. this facility this is a lion street corridor. it is the lion street steps. one of the san francisco most popular visitor and tourist landmarks and an area i have lived in. i moved there originally 50 years ago. i now own the house at 2626 lion street. this facility is going to be 50 feet in front of my house on the other side of the street. it is on the outside of the prevideo right on the street. it is not two miles from the address they listed. i have lived

if it works for you. >> dpw, you will show up? >> we have a motion from commissioner honda to continue this to september 18th. on that motion. (roll call). so that motion carries 3-0. we will see you september 18th. we will putt you meeting adjourned.. >> my name is angela wilson and i'm an owner of the market i worked at a butcher for about 10 years and became a butcher you i was a restaurant cook started in sxos and went to uc; isn't that so and opened a cafe we have produce from small farms without small butcher shops hard for small farms to survive we have a been a butcher shop since 1901 in the heights floor and the case are about from 1955 and it is only been a butcher shot not a lot of businesses if san francisco that have only been one thing. >> i'm all for vegetarians if you eat meat eat meat for quality and if we care of we're in a losing battle we need to support butcher shops eat less we sell the chickens with the head and feet open somebody has to make money when you pay $25 for a chicken i guarantee if you go to save

are you going to bring that forward to us, is it a dpw position? >> we have been working with the director of public works and their staff on the streets and what is required for dpw to accept these streets as city infrastructure. just to be clear. we will continue to own the property. when they are accepted as city streets they become the burden and responsibility of dpw. we can update you when we come back on how that is going. [inaudible] >> i like technology but sometimes i can go sideways. i just want to do it with our eyes open. >> understood. we will definitely keep track and that as you mentioned we are in the weeds and many of those issues right now. >> commissioner gilman? >> thank you so much for the presentation. i'm excited to see it move forward. i'm really excited that you frontloaded the affordable housing. i want to commend the giants for doing that particularly with the fact that this carries a lot of middle income housing. as we see every day more and more, we need housing targeting. i really appreciate it, i am too excited to be

also, before the permit was finalized in front of dpw. i like the mitigation commission to honda about trees being removed. we had a working group on 16th street, with the community, and 100 people attended this working group on the phase, this is what the working group talked about for the trees promises were made with d.p.w., for the tree group, at that meeting. >> thank you. >> my name is michael nolte. the trees on 16th street, wanted to point out that there are currently a petition online, 4311 signatures to save the ficus, in san francisco. this is a growing petition, and obviously the issue seems to be growing because certain neighborhoods will be finding soon enough that ficus in their neighborhood and will also be targeted for removal. as we have heard in the past, people can recall, the ficus have been mentioned several times at meetings here that the ficus are contender -- considered, a lower threshold for removal saying they are for make reasons, when we remove them for reasons lower than other trees. that would mean that they

i want to reiterate the point, of making the notices on trees accessible for disabled people when dpwwant to cut down trees. those trees are gone forever. i ask that this body ask dpw to suspend that -- [bell ringing] for disabled people until they can make the notices accessible for disabled people. thank you. >> ms. senhaux (chair): thank you. one more public comment. flo? thank you for waiting, flo. >> this is my first time here commenting. my name is flo and i'm a san francisco resident, a native, born and raised here. now i'm an adult and i have children and as a parent, i come here to talk about, there is issues, times i've been very frustrated in my communication with city agencies. they've asked me to lip read, or i feel stress and i asked them, can you provide an interpreter? they say we don't have anyone. you provide other languages, why not provide asl? and then, well there is a service called video relay interpreting, or video phone interpreting. in the event they're unable to find a live interpreter, you can go to the app, this software service and there is asl interprete

cynthia started planning in january doing workshops around what this very large robust plan where dpw is at the helm. she worked with her staff to explain the plan and concepts at that level. then we moved to table topping it. we integrated lonnie hate lee nelson to look at how those plans support one another. the debris management plan will be us for years. it sets up different constructs. next week we move to resource request drill with five port authorities in the bay area as well as different office of emergency operations centers. we are testing the low field level. next tuesday i am assuming most of the docs will send requests to the emergency operations center. if we cannot fill them in the city. we will send them to the state operations center activated. this is to time out how we are getting the resources, asking for them. when they get to the state level we are not the only operational area impacted in this type of disaster. at the state operation center how do they look at resource requests and figure out humpings what when? >> on the seventh, the monday, we will activate a

. >> dpw, you will show up? >> we have a motion from commissioner honda to continue this to september 18th. on that motion. (roll call). so that motion carries 3-0. we will see you september 18th. we will putt you meeting adjourned. >> are you ready to celebrate the women's equality day everyone? [cheers.] >> good evening. i am the communications director to one of our co-host to the w challenge rally. it is my pleasure this evening to introduce our mc for the event assess or carmen. she is the only asian female elected assessor in the state of california, empowering women. [cheers.] >> yeah. as you can see, empowering women and expanding representation is one of her top priorities. last year was the w challenge in recognition of women's equality day. may i ask you to come up on the stage. >> hello everybody. i am going to ask all of the folks on the edges to come closer. we want you in the photos. our congress woman we want up here. move closer. we have plenty of space up here. i think as vivian said, we want t

island pines were removed, because of contractor negligence, and really tragic lack of oversight by dpwebuilding the playground in the corner. then we lost, the welcoming tree to washington square, this beautiful tree right here, it is gone now, because of a previous arborist report. basically, it is tree armageddon at washington square. let me show you the ficus. this is already gone, and if these seven ficus are removed as well, we are going to have a shade lists washington square park on the west side. it is going to be really terrible. it is kind of like colony collapse with b's. it is canopy collapse in this case. the order to remove these ficus' sales to address any of those context issues. the beat goes on. tomorrow, the tallest tree, the oldest tree in washington square park, it is over 100 years, is going to be removed. i took a picture of it today, it's last day on earth, it is older than the earthquake. it is supposedly a hazard, and it might drop a limb on a car, or something. so, finally, telegraph hill dwellers donated a canary island pine to the park, and this is what is

in the city's exemption determination, under the plan, dpw will continue to maintain street trees. first, there has been no determination that ficus are unhealthy and hazardous area second, the keywords are continue to. here after the ceqa determination was made, the city decided to make it even easier to remove ficus and dedicated an entire mission to making this happen. [reading notes] there is no other tree that is subject to the same focus as these are a no other tree that has a special directors order dedicated to its eradication. in other words, this is not part of the urban forest plan. this is a subsequent effort by the city. no other tree is targeted, by the dozens, city wide in its own way, the city has admitted as much. neighborhood after neighborhood the city has held countless public meetings trying to negotiate plantings, soothing angry neighbors seen their entire neighborhood go from green to tiny saplings overnight. i know the bureau of urban forestry is trying to do the right thing. my point is that this underscores the fact that these large scale removals absolute

. >> the rocks should be removed immediately by dpw. the fact that they went twice already and haven't removed the rocks is just wrong. >> the city tells us it has no plans to remove those boulders. >>> another poll that supports what many of us l know. more and more people are thinking about moving out of california. a new poll by the berkeley institute of governmental studies says half of the state's registered voters have thought about leaving. 24% admit giving it serious quote. 28% are giving it some consideration. the high cost of housing was the most common reason. more than half cited high taxes. and politics are a factor as well. republicans and conservatives are far more likely to name the political climate as their reason to leave. >>> all right, this has been a bit of a somber mood as we say good-bye to a dear friend. this in case you didn't know is the final weekend for giants manager bruce bochi and that means the final chance for giants fans to say good-bye. giants and dodgers, bochy in good spirits, 13 years in the bay ar

by dpw permit requirement, telecom must attach its new equipment in a "neat and orderly condition without excess loops." but with no requirement to refrain from making existing wires worse. an interim solution prior to undergrounding is obvious to me. telecom -- [ indiscernible ] -- [microphone not activated]. >> clerk: the speaker's time is concluded. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning, supervisors. thank you for having this hearing. my name is mark snider. i'm a resident of district 8 and a member of the san francisco coalition of underground utilities steering committee. we're a city at risk for earthquakes, and a strong earthquake will certainly topple utility poles. residents and tourists alike will risk injury and death from falling poles, but the wires on the street will also present a risk in that fire and emergency vehicles will not cross wires that they cannot pass without -- knowing that they're safe to pass. the solution clearly is undergrounding. it's not rocket science, but it does involve engineering. there are some up
