this is my 23rd san francisco pride. my 29th overall pride since i came out as a gay man a long, long time ago. time flies. i am optimistic for our community in many ways. this community that been through so much in terms of the hate crimes and the worst of the hiv aids crisis and housing crisis and all of the other weighs in which our community that struggled over the years in san francisco and elsewhere. we are so resilient and the community comes back and comes back and gets stronger and stronger. i am so proud to be part of our lbgt community, particularly in san francisco. that doesn't mean we don't center challenges. i think pride is the right time of the year for us to recommit to celebrate and recommit to the fight. of course, we know what this guy is doing in washington, d.c. in the white house to undermine and harm our community including our children, attacking children. it is something that it is hard to fathom that you have a president of the united states who would attack lbgt children. apart from what he i

, but to thrive in san francisco.at is what today's announcement is all about. is not just for people to open and run their businesses, but for people to find employment at small businesses and for small business owners and employees to have a seat at the table where we are having -- making the decisions about our budget investments. first, let's take a step back and think about what it means to start a small business in san francisco. i hear from people all the time what a great idea and new innovation they want to do. then they are confronted with bureaucracy at city hall. it is such an incredible challenge. san francisco has loan programs in place that help people through our office of economic and workforce development. we have issued more than 20 million dollars with 90 4% repayment rate, which is incredible. these loans have estimated to create 1300 jobs. this includes our revolving loan fund, the fund provides low interest loans with flexible terms and support for small businesses that help to keep them stable

that make san francisco such a great city. it is about making bureaucracy more efficient. that is what this building is about. i know people don't get excited around efficiency, but i do. because i know you all remember when it was taking us 18 months to build one accessory dwelling unit and putting out an executive directive to bring in the fire department and planning and building department to work together. we completely reduced the time. now it takes up to six months. streamlining the process is critical to building more housing and making sure the festivals and events and nightlife that we are so excited to have in our city continues without delay because san francisco as we know is a special place, but we only work when we work more efficiently together. i am excited, and i know those over 1800 employees are excited to have new bathrooms and shower and places to park bicycles and the other great things we are adding to new buildings. i want to thank everyone who is building this place and the work you are doing to get t

in san francisco, that does get played out. as much as we had similar values , we want the same outcomes, it is still a bit divisive. what i hope to do in my public service as a vice chair is to bring all of the different communities together, you know, as a planner by day, i tried to bring my experience and my knowledge into how we can develop more equitable and complete communities. one that supports people at all income levels, of all races, of all orientations and of all backgrounds, and at the end of the day, this is what i want. it is not specifically targeted for the lgbtq community, but it is deeply affecting the lgbtq community. in district ten, there hasn't always been a history of the lgbtq presence, so when my husband and i moved there about 15 years ago, you know, we started to see more and more people come in from different parts of san francisco and different parts of the region. over time, we have created a really vibrant community, and so , you know, on facebook, i can't take the credit for my husband, but he h

they came back to san francisco. they've gone to school together, been cub scouts together and they went back to the pilgrimage and back to the fence to protest the incarceration of women and children. [applause] >> i just want to say that it was 77 years ago that there was wartime was surreal, discrimination, which resulted in injustice. and now, 77 years later, there's hiss ter why ter a and discrimin the white house. it's discrimination we must stop that. don't let history repeat itself. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. my name is kazumo. i am a japanese peruvian. my family was kidnapped in march of 1944. we were imprisoned at the camp. we were stripped of our civil rights, our human rights. without due process. no representation. the same thing is happening at our borders today and our message is on our t-shirt. stop repeating history. stop repeating history. i wanted to say thank you to the san francisco immigrants. on behalf of the japanese families and japanese american families and thank you for our honor

but from san francisco, 1700. we believe that this grant will allow us to focus and be able to redirect those donated computers directly to residents here in san francisco and obviously with the city such a forefront in the e-waste and tech industry, use to provide the services in the underrepresented communities would be great and provide them with the ability to redirect the cycle of poverty, having access to the needs. we believe this grant will allow us to have that foundation and represent patients here in san francisco and not just the bay area. >> vice president stephenson: ln take public comment. do i hear a motion to approve resolution file 2019-03 c.o.e.? >> i move. i like to say something first. i want to thank each and every one of you for the truly awe inspiring and inspirational and wonderful work that you are doing across the city and in your communities. i wish that i could wave a magic wand to so that all the people in san francisco would know about the fabulous work that you're doing. that would

general francisco. francisco: mr. chief justice, and may it please the court: in march 2018, secretary ross reinstated a citizenship question that has been asked as part of the census in one form or another for nearly 200 years. the district court's invalidation -- justice sotomayor: i'm sorry. general francisco: -- of that decision was wrong for -- justice sotomayor: i'm sorry, it's not been a part of the survey, which is where he reinstated it, since 1950. and for 65 years, every secretary of the department of commerce, every statistician, including this secretary's statistician, recommended against adding the question. so it may be that 200 years of asking a citizenship question in other forms may be true, but not on the short survey. that's what's at issue here. general francisco: well, but, your honor, it has been part of the census for the better part of 200 years, initially as part of the overall census itself -- justice sotomayor: but don't we ask the question in context? and for 65-odd-plus years, everybody s

general francisco: yeah. the second is that on naacp against alabama, that was a case where the naacp was being directly regulated by the statute that they were challenging. they were forced to disclose their private membership lists, and that was their injury. there was nobody that stood in between them and the disclosure of their private injury -- private membership list. but turning to the agency reviewability argument, there really is nothing in 141(a) that provides courts with a basis to review this decision. the language is quite similar to what the court addressed in webster. every -- the addition of any particular demographic question is always going to be a tradeoff between information and accuracy. and i'd -- i'd -- i'd urge you to look to the 2000 long form census that had highly detailed questions about not just citizenship but things like your commuting time, how many bedrooms you had in your house, whether you suffered from certain health conditions. under respondents' position, courts would hav

san francisco in general that we don't lose a grip of what san francisco's came from.a place that you'll always recognize whenever you lock in the door. you'll see the same staff, the same bartender and have the same meal and that is great. that's important. ♪ >> the service that san francisco heritage offers to the legacy businesses is to help them with that application process, to make sure that they really recognize about them what it is that makes them so special here in san francisco. ♪ so we'll help them with that application process if, in fact, the board of supervisors does recognize them as a legacy business, then that does entitle them to certain financial benefits from the city of san francisco. but i say really, more importantly, it really brings them public recognition that this is a business in san francisco that has history and that is unique to san francisco. >> it started in june of 1953. ♪ and we make everything from scratch. everything. we started a you -- we started a off with 12 flavors and mango fruits from the philippines and then started trying

we can make sure the events in san francisco are zero waste and youth in san francisco gets employment. san francisco state university, this is the second time we're funding them. they're looking into 15,000pcv banners that you see in city streets, advertising from asian art, those are all getting landfill. they're looking at taking those through their fashion merchandising program to refabricating them in bags and selling them. it's innovative. this is the type of thing we need to put some resources in to create innovation. san francisco unified school district. this is one of my favorite. they're looking to go all reusable. installing dishwashers and through another project, we're hoping to install some food tracking software. this high school will be a model for all other public schools in san francisco, hopefully. they're goal is to divert 500 tons of unwanted junk mail from san francisco. which is huge. they're really will be focusing working with seniors and seniors are targeted. they have huge amounts of junk mail. tech exchange, they're if the audience. brand new grantee of our

businesses in san francisco. i think that probably zoning restrictions on this building has outlive their usefulness. it doesn't seem to me in p.d.r. even a practical use for the building. regardless of the subdivision that happened within the building. even if it were reformatted for p.d.r. i doubt we'd be able to attract the kind of p.d.r. businesses that would occupy such a space. zoning needs to be reevaluated. that being said, it's not okay to just break the law. landlord here has led you all into a trap. i support legitimatization process to allow you to stay in these spaces allow building undergoes an evaluation as to what appropriate zoning would be. the landlord probably need to bear some of the financial burden of this process. i'm i not here to adjudicate th. that would be my recommendation. i think that all of us here are here to support and preserve small businesses and you guys have all doing the hard work of running your own business. we all appreciate that here because we're doing the same thing.

they all include many in san francisco. so she totally did things if go against americans' freedoms. but i wanted to ask mr. peskin, i wanted to ask you why your support -- >> clerk: please direct your comments to the board as a whole. don't single anyone out. >> okay. why just support a person who goes against american spirit? so i think you all are making history. so i don't want you to become a history -- [inaudible] >> clerk: thank you. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisor. my name is andrea. i want to say something. on may 14, during the board of supervisors meeting, supervisor peskin admitted that rose pak was a complex person, but then, he stated that rose pak contributed to the chinese subway station and should be commemorated. i think that's overstated. hitler built railroads and fridays in germany, including the world's first highway system, the autobahn. if you want to name the subway station after rose pak, it would be like naming a jewish community center after hitler or his first official. i'm her

, and stay right here in san francisco.de really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show their p

the work that we do is deeply rooted in san francisco, all of san francisco. we're considered thought leaders in the arts field, nationally, regionally and locally. we gave the national address to the state of utah's annual arts complex. i'm a committee member of apapa 2020, held in new york. it's the largest convening of arts producers in if the english -- in the english speaking world. we do this because we know from our work nationally that artists of color must not be marginalized. we must be made part of america's culture and identity so we can ultimately impact her psychology to embrace all of us who live her. 45, the number -- live here. 45, the number of artists that we've produced here. 1,000, the number of people this year including women in recovery, seniors who took classes, rehearsed or performed in our studio in the richmond district. 2021, the year we premier and tour a new work about san francisco commissioned by the hewlett and commissioned by the art fund. we pass forward her history, the people who guilbuilt and ft for this children. we are

in san francisco. thank you for letting me tell you why we oppose this ban. we are representing over 900 businesses over here. we are not just the mission district, we are the entire city of san francisco. we are here because the small business commission offered we need more time to find a specific alternatives for small business. every talk about the health issues. the health issues are a concern to us. i have six kids, none of them smoke because we strongly believe that education starts at home. education starts with your family. not only that education starts with your family, but it also needs to continue to have programs by education, but that doesn't mean doing it by punishing small businesses. we're losing small businesses. today, yesterday, i was here in city hall. i went to visit three of my businesses, they're already closed. we're losing small businesses. it's not just an issue of health, it's an issue of small businesses. this, we have the right to have small businesses to sell it. this is

he cared about doing good things for san francisco. he cared about making great things happen for the people of san francisco. many of you, you either work for him or work with him, you cared about him because he genuinely, not only cared about the work you were doing, he cared about your lives and what was going on in your lives, and how your lives were impacted by the decisions that we were making in city hall every single day. so it is really a fitting tribute to have this documentation to just really recognize and put into perspective all of the work that he has done, and as someone who is now in the position as mayor, i have to tell you, it is a newfound appreciation for mayor lee and what he did, and how he worked with people, and how he basically, i don't know how he tolerated all the stuff that he did. [laughter] >> but it is a newfound appreciation for what he did to keep the city going, and to take this and look at the number of jobs, and to look at the climate change, and all the different initiatives, and all the work, and

as cma for san francisco we are responsible for coordinating the san francisco project submissions. we are working with the project sponsor and agency partners to identify the projects we would like to see in plan bay area. the first step was identifying tans formative projects. that was part of horizon process looking at major transportation investments that were identified in the previous plan such as gary brt, better market street, downtown caltrain extension. those are updated from plan bay area and are in mtc hands. we are identifying regionally significant projects, these are smaller dollar amount projects that still have capacity change to various transportation systems. we are are working with m.t.a., port to identify the projects. ongoing mtc reached out to the transit agencies to identify state of good repair needs to make sure we keep the fleets and local streets and roads up to good repair. later this we will identify program categories of investments. this is everything that isn't the big dollar amount projects. all of those bicycle and pedestrian projects important to

that we have in san francisco. but you the commission and the executive director have actually approved projects without any transit lie viability agreements. that's what you've done. so the planning commission and the director of planning in san francisco are responsible for the gridlock. we'll discuss later the next point on the agenda about city college. you know there's going to be gridlock by the massive amount of construction you are improving and you have no plan for it. is this the planning department that we the citizens of san francisco are paying for? we're playing for a planning department that is not examining the cost of transportation and the dangers of transportation increasing the gridlock. you are responsible for this. frankly, again, as i raised earlier, the mayor and the developers are running san francisco and they don't give a damn as long as they can make profit by building more construction. this is insane. it's outrageous. the fact you have nothing to say about it, you don't get to the spec

i am a member of the san francisco tobacco free coalition and proudly san francisco born and bred. when i began my work providing tobacco use prevention education throughout the bay area, including here in the city more than four years ago i never would have predicted that i'd find myself in the front line, standing in halls and classrooms where thousands of youth that i speak to have fallen casualty to the deceptive tactics of jool and other e-cigarettes manufacturers to gain new customers. this is much more than an epidemic. we are at war. at war with companies who defend profits over the health of our most vulnerable populations, who have yet to set foot in the trenches of our schools and homes and assess the real damage that they've caused. e-cigarettes continue to go unregulated. companies use tactics to target youth and minorities that otherwise are illegal for tobacco companies. millions more are getting hooked and cities like san francisco are paying over 300 million annually towards the economic cost of addiction. all the while, more and more research reveals the harmful h

in 2007, the healthy san francisco program launched. this is san francisco's health access program that provides uninsured residents access to healthcare services and we are able to capture healthy a san francisco patient cost services data in our annual report separately from traditional charity care. after the passage of the affordable care act in 2010, the next few years were spent preparing for aca implementation in 2014. they implemented and began -- we saw an increase in healthcare insurance coverage through medi-cal expansion and this is something that we have highlighted in previous reports. as we moved into 2017 and 2018, it is important to note there has been uncertainty at the federal level around healthcare and the affordable care act. policy changes such as the repeal of the individual mandate penalty, proposed changes to rules, and recently provider rights to religious refusal, may impact charity care and how people speak -- seek or receive healthcare services. we think we will be able to capture the impacts of these polic
