it's what makes san francisco so amazing. crisis that all of us have witnessed on a daily basis given what's been happening throughout the city. this phenomenon is relatively new and has made a tremendous impact on my office hearing the stories from people. the ordinance that we are voting on today will require landlords usage of able to evict for the market rate during that period. this ordinancen insures that relocation payment adequately represent and allows tennants to have an opportunity to have a fighting chance to stay in san francisco. the rental and purchase prices for san francisco homes have increased dramatically since 2005 and we last have the ordinance requiring relocation assistance payments to tennants at that time. currently landlords are required to pay relocation assistance in the amounts of $5265 per tenant and they must pay $2500 to displaced elderly. anyone who knows the market rate in san francisco has the highest rate in the country know it's not sufficient to allow to stay if evicted. the city residen

meals on cheryls in san francisco is a provider in san francisco and providing 1.3 million meals to 3,000 seniors and we're the safety net to those that need the meals. the best indicator of a policy is to see what happens in the past. we adopted the standards and emergency standards with the city in 2007. what did that do? we were serving 11 hundred people a day and now we're doubled in size. what happens when you back off of that commitment? this year because of funding we had to pull back and we were averaging 22 days and went out to the 30 day maximum. what happened? the wait list doubled so we encourage you to stay with it and invest in the policy and without you we can't maintain this commitment so we implement it city wide and fund it and stem the need. one this web that we all work on is exactly that. when one part fails we all fail so we need to invest across the board. i invite you out on the route and see the seniors that we serve and they're on the poverty agenda in the city. thank you very much. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hi. i am marianne hayward and moved from southern

remain in san francisco. want to also not there will be a press conference at 9:00 a.m. to discuss this issue we'll be discussing a recent 0 report by the budget analyst report we have a lot of work to do in the area of insuring proper representation to tenants. as we're phasing the housing crisis where the rent in san francisco is hire than any other city we have a report from the budget analyst report this shows in calendar years 2013-2014 tenant were only represented 12.9 percent and 17 percent of the time. we know that tenants who are facing eviction he procedures are likely to stay in their homes with legalese representation. it's only provide in 13 percent and 2012 and 17 percent in 2013 shows there's a huge gap that needs to be addressed. we believe that legal representation should be provide for tenants phasing eviction with their financial status and look forward to having that communication at the budget committee meeting tomorrow the rest i'll submit >> thank you. i'm introducing legislation to int

san francisco municipal railway. muni as it would become to be known. happy birthday, muni, here is to the next 100 years. the birth of muni had been a long-time coming. over the years the city was disjointed privately owned companies. horses and steam and electric-powered vehicles. creating a hodgepodge of transit options. none of them particularly satisfying to city residents. the city transit system like the city itself would have changes during the san francisco earthquake. the transition that will pursue from this aftermath would change san francisco's transportation system once again. facilitated by city boss, abe ruth, ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28, 1912, mayor sonny rolph intro

longmore institute on disability at san francisco state. just to give you a brief overview, i know not a lot of you knew paul and worked with paul. he was in this room many times. and the longmore institute of san francisco state university is kind of a -- it brings together advocacy, academics, culture, and the whole point of it is to get people in conversation that might not otherwise be in conversation and to change attitudes about disability. so, through cultural initiatives, through academic programs, through basically changing people's minds. and the idea here is that you take something like culture and you get people to think about disability as a form of experience on a par with race, gender, social class, all the things we care about. if you can get people to think about disability differently and disabled people differently, then they will change their attitudes about employment, employing people with disabilities, or with service provision, all of these things. so, all of our programs with designed to do that, kind of that work.

gab members, the san francisco arts commissioners and staff and artists and san francisco beautiful and its members. thank you all for helping to craft this proposal. i want to give a little background about the reason why we came together to really address this particular issue. according to our knowledge and legislative analyst, it costs the city close to $20 million annually to abate graffiti on our buses and property and all throughout the city. and the city could use this money to use for other things. as former director and supervisor now, i see the huge cost of graffiti incur. and i hear from property owners that paint over offensive graffiti and to return the next day. i have seen people wait for the muni buses. many trying to remove graffiti, and needs solutions. i didn't want to use those who view crime as a harsher punishment. but yet to research best practices in jurisdictions all over the country, new york and chicago and san diego, and to create a nuance plan to reduce graffiti and provide better outcomes for offenders. most of our proposal is administrative, not just
