in the city we are very prosprss and see creating everywhere and grouth in the city and we haven't had the opportunity to keep up with the growth if cliled care and i think it is opportunity be tibel collect additional fees to help support child care development which is needed. it pshzs the city for opportunity for leveraging growth at the state and federal lechbl where there haveinate been facilities we lost on those opportunity y. think with the improving economy we'll see more of those opportunity. i think there is also the issue of the fact we do have 9 million dollars of requests on the current pipeline because there were not resources available some projects will not happen or be deferred and if there were resources we would be aivl to move some of the projects forward. thank you >> thank you any other public comment? seeing none public comment is closed. i want to say that the purpose of this hearing is to allow for the public and developers to-if they had concerns about the next study and i want to say that in order to expand the child care facilities funds to match up with th

we have new neighborhoodss, it isn't just about population grouth and we all know this and supervisor avalos admitted this. this is about our observation and the communities we represent where people do not believe we have enough police in our communities to improve neighborhood safety. this is something we all hear all the time from a broad cross section of the community. in fact at budget committee the other day i asked chief surif there was a member of the board of supervisors who didn't ask him to have more police staffing in their district? the answer is no. 11 out of 11 members of the board of supervisors being responsive to the communeies they represent asked for more staffing. when you valimited number of police officers qu move officers from one area to another that original area is going to have less police staffing. the answer is to have adequate police staffing. we are not even close to being there and we should be looking at the numbers and we have looked at the numbers and we need to increase our police staffing goals. i want to respond-i appreciate supervisor kim's anal

cohen and supervisor farrell calling for a increase in the police staffing level to take population grouth and staffing into account. by any measure colleagues our police department is understaffed. over the past decade the city has grown by 100 thousand people. we have neighborhoods that didn't exist a decade ago. we have more people working here and more cars on the road, more transit and more traffic safety needs. despite that growth we have nearly 300 fewer police officers than we did 5 years ago. [chanting] [inaudible] colleagues we are going to take thousand people. we have neighborhoods that didn't exist a decade ago. we have more people working here and more cars on the road, more transit and more traffic safety needs. despite that growth we have nearly 300 fewer police officers than we did 5 years ago. [chanting] [inaudible] colleagues we are going to take a recess. [supervisors in recess] >> excuse me just a second. one second. >> having too few police offers has impact on public safety. we all want community policing and this requires having enough >> to member thofz public, we

thousand people in the last 10 year jz not created enough housing to house that level of population grouth and it won't change, we will grow by another 150 thousand people in the coming decades and if you think it is bad today, if we don't get our act together when it comes to housing possibly and creating housing opportunities in the sate, today will look tame compared to 10 or 20 years from now. i wish the conversation about acquiring sites in the mission had been happening 5, 6, 7 years ago, but better late than never and have to get it together. i support making sure etha that we build more affordable housing in the mission and know supervisor campos will support that same effort in the castro and throughout the city. we need to make sure we move forwards, smarth housing policy. supervisor christensen thank you for introducing your legislation today to allow rent control accesserary unit in districtly. we need to provide strong man dates and incentives to admore and more affordable yoounts into the development to make sure we create affordable housing that way. there is a lot we can do
