i'm here to provide a summary of our report we completed for supervisor haney.were asked to assess and report on the policing on the costs to the city's approach to minimize the existence of drug dealing in the tenderloin and south of the market area. and we were asked to report on the related arrests, prosecutions, and diversion programs. i'll just start out with the findings of our analysis. we found that the city's efforts to assess open-air drug dealing are dispersed across various city departments, 3-1-1 i, and theres no coordinated strategic plan across those departments. we collected the costs across these departments, and conservatively we estimate the cost in 17/18, was $12,159,713. that is basically were police officers are on their normal beats or responding to calls for service. and it does not include long-term incarceration costs. and we did not include all of the behavioral costs and drug costs. public safety is a leading concern among san francisco residents. the controller's office conducted a survey in 2017, and public safety was the fifth most

supervisor haney, i feel the same about you. thank you for leading us and letting me in on the front lines of this struggle with you. it's changing my life. thank you so much. >> thank you, supervisor ronen. mr. president, that concludes the introduction of new business. >> president yee: thank you. let's move on to our public comments. madame clerk. >> at this time the public may address the board on items within the subject matter jurisdiction of the board to include the minutes from march 5, item 32, whether or not the board should enter into closed session to confer with or receive advice from the city attorney regarding existing litigation with pacific gas and electric company and items 33-35 on the adoption without reference to committee calendar items. public comment is not allowed when an item has had public comment at a board committee. please direct your remarks to the board as a whole, not to individuals. and the way the board would appreciate you showing your support for an issue is to show your support of hands, rat

courtney macdonald with supervisor haney's office. first i want to start by clarifying that although these leases are being presented as together, that they are separate. but we had heard from a lot of folks from the community, as i am sure that you have too, about both issues. so we wanted to give people an opportunity to comment on both items at once rather than to drag this out a little bit lock longer. that being said our office would like to ask that the committee make a positive recommendation for the sailing center lease. item number 7. and to incorporate the recommendations from the b.l.a. about annual reporting. regarding item number 8, the that reina lease, as bob -- marina lease -- as bob mentioned last year in june the board and relevant stakeholders had agreed upon the footprint of both projects and five conditions and safeguards for the approval of the leases as bob mentioned. and consideration for the eel grass in the cove and mitigation plan for sedimentation and consideration for current tenants of the marina and furt

supervisor haney, did you want to say something in. >> supervisor haney: thank you to all the community and presenters. you know, i think today we heard that this can and will save lives. we have an epidemic, deadly epidemic, one of the worst that we've seen as a country and the toll that it's taking on our communities, and we are confident that we can do this in a smart way, an effective way to get people to both safer environments and services, and because of that, san francisco should continue to be a leader in supporting overdose prevention sites. hopefully, this will pass, and our community, as i spoke today, will be prepared to do this in the right way. so i hope that we'll support this. i don't actually have a vote in the committee, but i hope this committee will support it and that our full board of supervisors will back up also the mayor, who's been a champion for this, as well. >> chair mandelman: thank you, supervisor haney. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, chair mandelman, and thank you, supervisor haney for bringing this resolution forward. thank you fo

[applause]. >> thank you supervisor haney.e all know it takes the hard work and diligence of so many leaders to make this happen, and someone who helped us champion this was a former supervisor jane kim. would you like to say a few words? [applause] >> this process was far longer than three years. it took many, many years, and i want to acknowledge so many people who were involved in this work. when i came into office, west soma was a collection of a lot of small alleyway associations, and it took quite a bit of work to bring these leaders together through the five months. they use a cornet with our office, and over time, and some of us starting on some other notes, many residents really pushed our office to provide more attention and care to these neighborhoods that do not have additional services and their benefits -- benefit districts. and we wanted to see these additional services and in this part of the city that needs so much additional attention. so want to thank all the community benefit districts for your advice. i wo

. >> supervisor mandelman: supervisor haney? >> supervisor haney: well, first of all, thank you, chair mandelman. you're going to think twice before you're going to -- let me see your agenda before i bring items to your committee again, but i hope it was a worthwhile experience. this obviously is something that really, you know, most directly impacts the neighborhood that i represent but it's important to our entire city and to all of our residents. supervisor mandelman has put forward actually a task force that relates specifically to meth. as i heard all the calls for creating a task force around this issue, i think it would be great to talk to you about what you've learned already from that process and what it would look like. so i just want to thank you and supervisor stefani and supervisor walton for letting us be a part of it. i want to thank everybody who's still here. i think it shows how committed we are to finding solutions around this. i really want to apologize, and i hope you'll extend apologies to folks who wanted

>> supervisor haney: thank you, president yee. i also want to thank you, supervisor brown and supervisor safai, and everybody who worked on this in your offices. one of the things that was important to me that i learned when we talked about this in committee, there is real focus to address the needs of families who are experiencing vehicular homelessness. if we can get folks to come to the center, we can allow them to have a place to store their car, get them into a family shelter. that is a huge barrier that many families experience. and people in general, when they have their cars, they don't want to give it up, so they won't go in shelters available to them. in addition to having a safe place to park and receiving services there, this makes sure we can address an urgent need that families have as well. and to hear a lot of the folks that came in and talked about living in cars, rvs with their families, this is really going to be a critical need for our families and our kids who are experiencing homelessness, so i want to thank

thank you, supervisor haney. i concur with supervisor haney on this point. supervisor fewer. >> thank you, president yee. i wanted to associate my comments with what supervisor mar has just said about the imbalance in our city about the building of affordable housing. i also really think that the chart on page 4 of the report which eliminates, take out the replacement units, is a much more realistic number as far as how far we are behind because quite frankly, those are units that have already -- are already in use and are affordable. we need to look at how much newly affordable housing we're able to add to the housing stock. this is about units already there and that chart shows a more realistic number of how far we are behind but i also want to bring attention the need for a direct line of funding for affordable housing because when we have just concentrated on production but not preservation, this is what happens and this imbalance happens. so i just want to say and note of course i keep telling people that i'm losing affordable housing units every day. t

supervisor haney thinks this is a rushed plan, as well. he went on record asking you to defer your vote to give the city and -- more time to come up with a comprehensive plan that would include navigation centers to address the homeless problem, and i think that's what we're asking for, to have more time to get this properly planned. >> thanks, todd. jordan and martin and she reasshe -- shereen mcspadden. >> my name is jordan, and despite the way i'm dressed, i was that homeless people with matted hair and lice, but people believed in me and put me up at a homeless center at 16th and mission. if that was not there, i probably would have killed myself or died on the streets. while i have concern about the number of people at the safe center, i'm willing to support it because i'm in favor of real solutions, which is not only navigation centers, but permanent supportive housing which we just seem to be delaying in building, and we really need development and not displacement and actual services. and finally, let's face it. the southern povert

supervisor haney. >> thank you, chair peskin.i have one question on reporting and one broader question to bring up the representative from the mayor's office of housing. in terms of reporting, i understand why we organize the affordability around low, low madder rat and middle. i -- moderate. i know we define projects in different categories, for example, reporting how much family housing we are building, for example is not included here. i don't know if it is in some level of the reporting or specifically for people homeless or veterans. it is something that would be helpful to know. i don't know if that is immediately available. the other question i know that this is one of the types of reporting we have to do on a regular basis. you mention there is affordable housing goals that we have set through prop k or that the mayor had set in the housing element. what are the sort of reporting that happens around those goals and how -- what sort of -- how do we respond to the fact we are clearly not on track to meet these goals as i un

we will see if supervisor haney's idea is viable. the land is actually on here by the port authority and they will vote next week on whether to use that land to build the new navigation center. >>> andre senior outside city hall . >> the city of hayward is planning a navigation center that would go up on city-owned property at the depot and witzel roads. the center will serve as a short-term shelter for 45 people and offer case management and housing placement. there will also be showers, laundry facilities and one meal provided per day. the center is on track to open next winter. the city has scheduled a community meeting to answer questions about the center. the meeting is set for april 24. >>> today marks 100 days in office for governor do some. he spent the day in san bernardino county hosting a roundtable on homelessness. the governor talk with people who used to be homeless along e other officials. some of the topics included the availability of mental health services and the lack of affordable housing across california. >> the

>> ideally, thank you, supervisor haney. ideally, what we would do is on the site, also have vehicle storage available, and we would offer shelter immediately to every family who shows up. however, that may not work for every family, so i think it will require flexibility and partnership with the service provider, whoever is selected to operate the site, but our first efforts will be offered to store the vehicle and have the family stay in shelter. >> that makes sense. and i think that, you know, obviously we want to make sure especially for families, but for everyone who has that option, it would be more ideal than having them stay there. i imagine for a lot of folks they can't give up their car or they have nowhere to store their car, and that can be a barrier to get into shelter. i've heard this from some folks who, for example, may stay regularly at the next door shelter, which is near where i live, and they have a lot of challenges because they have nowhere to put their car and then there is no parking and it creates a

made by supervisor haney and seconded by supervisor stefani. madame clerk can you please read the consent agenda. >> clerk: item 1 through 3 on consent and considered to be routine if a member objects an item may be removed and considered separately. >> commissioner: colleagues, would anyone like to sever any items from the consent agenda. seeing none, madame clerk, call the roll on items 1 through 3. >> clerk: [roll call]

supervisors brown and haney and mandelman as well as mayor breed. every day it is part of every a long journey. the ability of walking is so powerful. it makes us healthier, it is good for the air, climate. it connects us to each other, and it grounds us to our communities. today is purely a celebration of walking, and everyone who walks. the beauty it is all of us. at walk san francisco we firmly believe that san francisco can and should be the most walkable city in the united states. [applause.] we are not quite there yet. our major street like market where over a half million people per day walk is one of the most dangerous streets in the city. on average three people are hit each day across san francisco while walking. sadly, already this year we have lost six pedestrians and one person riding a bike from traffic violence on the streets. we are ready for things to change. [applause.] we are ready to end-all severe and fatal crashes in san francisco. we are ready for san francisco where everyone of every age and ability can get around safely and

thank you. >> supervisor haney? >> so is there -- on 772, is there a plan for timeline on when that would break ground and what is the funding gap there? >> we are in a little bit of a reactive mode. we have to see if this project moves forward. we're in a position where we can adopt our timeline once we have funding identified and we can select a developer and move forward pretty expeditiously, so we will adopt our timeline to the identification of funding. the outstanding gap was given very early estimates. we still have approximately 15 to 17 million-dollar gap in addition to this $10 million. about $9.1 million that is identified here. this project and the fee that it generates as a complete picture, but it is a really important step forward. >> any other questions? question from you? >> no, i want to make a comment. i want us appreciate supervisor peskin. we had this conversation very early on, maybe a month or two into the election and we had a debate on the floor, and you took that debate and transitioned it

special thanks to mayor breed for your remarks and supervisors peskin and haney for being here. we are here today to celebrate the completion of the polk street improvement project, and there are some wonderful things to celebrate for an alley in front of us, that is a great example of what the city can do to make our streets and alleyways more human scale. we have great new pavements, there are sewer lines, so many wonderful things that are the result of this project. i do want to call out that from a bicycle safety perspective, i'm not sure we are 100% complete and what we need on polk street. with only like a part of the project containing fully protected bike lanes, this project, whether it was three years or eight years to go, when it was approved, it doesn't quite meet the standards that we have established today or protection and safety for people who bike on our vision zero high injury cora doris. the streets where we know people are getting injured and killed. we are at this this point because polk street the project we are celebrating today, is the result of a process

supervisor haney do you have opening remarks you'd like to share? >> no, i'll save my comments for after the presentation and public comment. >> president yee: okay. seeing no name on the roster, i will ask the appellant or appellant's representative. >> i'll make a statement. good afternoon, supervisors. my name is angelica cabandin with the south market community action network. the park is truly a community park in every sense of the word. not only is the park heavily used by all members of the community, including residents, workers and visitors but the history of the park itself is the history of coming together to demand for new public open space that will help enhance the quality of life in the south of market where children, youth, families, seniors, people with disabilities and everyone can live, grow and thrive. the first park we had in soma was south park which was built in 1855. it took close to over 150 years to get another park built which is now the victoria menola drapes park. however the city does not makt easy to get this mark -- m

since then she and supervisor matt haney that represents district have scaled back the number of beds from 200 down to 130, but gradually bringing the number back up over a six month span. >> and there's a two-year lease to make sure we fulfill our commitments to the community and the people coming to the navigation center, so i think we can get this working. this working. >> reporter: haney says he's held 13 community meetings to listen to and address community concerns. he expects the port mission to approve the navigation center. laura foote with yes in my backyard hopes the five-member commission will move forward with a vote. with a vote. >> the question is are they going to punt and add more time, add more delay. add more delay. it is embarrassing. i mean we are abandoning people. >> reporter: the meeting is expected to last for hours with a lot of people making public comment. >> it's a problem that's going to take a lot of hard work and intelligence. intelligence. >> reporter: she owns tea life in san jose. back on april 5th, a burglar stole a cash register with cash. she beli

equitable assessment methodology that is based on the community benefit district in supervisor matt haney's be strict based on benefit point. so you can assume that as various land use ties residential properties, condominium properties and public properties, that they would assume various benefit points and those are directly related to the aesthetic, the cleanliness of the sidewalks, safety services that we provide and also the economic benefits to that. this is our proposed budget for our third renewal starting june 1, 2019. basbased on that extensive surv, we heard from that our businesses and our stakeholders, that they would want to see more cleaning, more safety services and certainly this budget reflects that at 74% of our budget dedicated towards cleaning and safety services. about 12% will be dedicated to public realm improvements, marketing events and advocacy and then, of course 14% for management and expenses. as i mentioned, our district will be divided between two zones of services. as you can see zone one will be investing in additional cleaning and safety services per day a
