supervisor kim? >> thank you, i actually want to suggest another amendment. i have been told that this is not an anti-homeless initiative. for that reason, on page 3, under subsection d. online 5 and 6, we keep the park hours but shall be subject to the penalty setforth in the park article 10 and i want to pet put put with the exception of sleeping violation. this is a point that i forgot to make earlier. that is this. identify talked -- i have talked to people who sleep in our parks. i don't have the data that shows this but the vast majority of people that sleep in the park are women. i know this concern came from supervisor campos around members of our lgbt community and homeless. by the way, many of you know i stayed in a shelter over night and i saw the bias against lgbt particularly against transgender members. it is not to blame people in our shelter system. our shelter system is a mime mic crow -- micro system. there is a lot of bias and miss understanding around transgender. i heard a lot from women that say they feel safer sleeping in the parks as w

on the kim avalos gibner amendment, colleagues can we take that without objection. that should be the case. and any further discussion before a vote on the underlying ordinance as amended? supervisor wiener? >> thank you, mr. president. this has been a robust discussion. and i do, what everyone's view on this and it's clear on all sides of this issue is very passionate and i think we are all very passionate about trying to get homeless people housed and we are passionate about keeping our parks clean and safe. i don't think it moves the conversation forward to talk about paving over our parks. i think there were a lot of motivations attributed to support this legislation which aren't just me, which our wonderful san francisco parks alliance, our labors union, the people who have to come in every morning and fix all the vandalism and clean up these parks after they are trashed. these hardworking women and men who work for the park and it wasn't just the union leaders who came to this hearing on this issue, there were individual gardeners who showed up because they wa

. >> miss kim, mr. kim has a question? >> sure. just a question on the escalator, i often hear, by the way, i'm happy to see this as the process of the question. one of the breakdowns is exposure to environment. we need awe ning and i have seen that in a lot of countries they have been covering escalators. i'm wondering if that was part of the discussion as to the long-term of maintenance? >> i will have mta staff. >> yes. jonathan with mta. yes there have been processes about taking care of that issue of having canopies for each of the portals because it does have an impact on the escalate ors. and the mayor is processing that. >> would the timeline be aligned or would the escalator work go in before? >> undetermined at this point. i'm hoping that will continue. but the issues you raise under consideration will certainly help us if resolve improve the life of those assets. are all of these 17 on market street? >> there are some at, we have an overall escalator replacement program. this is the second phase. we do share some of the

i want to thank any co-sponsors supervisor campos, kim and mar. san francisco is going through growth and literally transforming our skyline. it's clear to many we're not all sharing in the disparity. many people have falling far behind. more than ever city government must provide equity so san francisco's most vulnerable can have access to san francisco's growing prosperity. our local transportation system has fallen behind and our demands are greater than every whether you bike or reside muni from violation valley or get on the t line or stockton or the bus if china town or helpfully watch buses pass you by at presidio or at the outer sunset your deeply invested in our transportation system. there are folks who represent neighborhood far from the downtown core and neighborhoods are foiled with transportation depend ant residents and any decision around the san francisco transportation system decisions that will be on the november 2014 bottle. we want focuses and adequacy and equity of our transportation system. so today, i'm bringing forward thi

supervisor kim >> thank you. i'm introducing a resolution supporting the secure our smart phone initiatives that be charred by as many of you know, our san francisco assistant district attorney and london mayor borrowing johnson. it's time for manufacturers to put their profits after the products. 50 percent of all robberies in san francisco involved a communication stolen devices. it's the top property crime in the u.s. pr sometimes those leads to injuries and sometimes, the loss of life. it only gets worse in measures don't take action. i want to thank sam sun they created a kill switch to all excise at the moment they got stolen. all the software was on the smart phones in the united states. all the carriers including t mobile and sprint refused to collaborate on this. this can lead to ending the theft as we've seen in australia and it the kill switch can act anywhere in the world by eliminating this the market for stole devices will be eliminated and no motivate to stole them. i'm interrogating a legislation

okay mayor, is supervisor kim here >> yes. >> supervisor kim, director of public health garcia and t nc partners really want to welcome you and we're very, very pleased you're here to share the occasion. the new clinic is actual one of the first grants that we've built since 1969. not only is this incredible it's at the heals of health care reform. i want to thank the mayor's office for their you financial support and director garcia and also to be able to navigate the whole f f c process. this has been really challenging to bring two different clinics with two total care of having a single way of doing things. it's been challenging but the san francisco staff has shown they can do anything to come together to create this incredible clip. i've said about being incredible in the way they provide care to the homeless they have the best practice and that's what's been brought together not only is the practice being brought together but it's a one stop care for homeless people it has housing and primary care and community programs so it's a one stop location and we will get a better outc

. >> supervisor kim. i think that dwp needs to do 80 a better job of the basis in which you can appeal the waiver fees is incredibly important. so if a person asks for a reduction sending people to the board of supervisors is irresponsible. you have to make an appeal to the board of supervisors or you're wasting everyone's time the board of supervisors they believe they can make an appeal on their low income nodes. so the answer shouldn't be mingle someone asks about this issue it's dwps responsibility to recommend the option. we should be clear about what the other options are list in the memo. all the homeownership's don't need to pay the conversion fee. you can ask for a delay in paying our fees until the map approval occurs. they should with in one waiver. there should be a better process. this is incredibly frustrating to see people confused come on to the board >> supervisor campos. >> i want to i'll to the lady the appellant because i don't know that i know this should not are been handled this way

kim is very concerned about sam.uma of the accident may affect his heart. >> sam looked extremely red with the pressure, you know. that was my concern, making sure he remained calm. >> but kim knows if they have it bad, contractor bruce boyles has it worse. he's hanging below them from his safety harness, which is still connecting him to the bucket. one wrong move could send them all crashing into the water below. >> we were just encouraging him to hang on, hang in there, help was on the way. >> kim doesn't know it from her position in the bucket, but the contractor who fell into the river has survived and is pulled to safety below. now rescuers on the bridge are trying to devise a plan to save the rest of them. >> captain randy fulford was one of the individuals that i knew had recent high-angle rescue training that i knew would make the rescue more safe, both for the individuals we were rescuing, but also, for our own rescuers. >> firefighters record the action with their own video cameras. they're hoping to catch

er frnts supervisor kim? >> thank you, i wanted to follow up on that question to our city attorney, so is there anything -- you know, i hear director ris k*en's commitment. does this whereas clause bind sfmta to this allocation? i just wanted to clarify that question again? >> deputy city attorney, john gibner, no, it doesn't bind the sfmta to the allocation. the board through this contract approval cannot bind the mta's decision about where to place the meters but the whereas clause reflects the director's statements about the mta's expectations about how these meters will be used. >> okay. that's not very reassuring. i do have a couple of questions for the director though. so, i just wanted to clarify again, 25 thousand meters is the number of meters we currently have in the city today? >> yeah, i don't know the exact number, it's roughly 25 thousand and that's the base contract. >> and when you said to supervisor cohen that this 5 thousand allotment would allow us to make -- to address small meters request

i would like to thank mayor ed lee and supervisor jane kim. it's incredible to be standing here with them. thank you. we appreciate the commitment the city has shown forecast and for the arts community. i have lived in the tenderloin for 10 years and this is a warm spot in my neighborhood. this used to be a cool neighborhood in san francisco and it's great to be back on track. as the mayor said, this is the greatest place for economic development for the community and it's also important educational resource and help us transcend barriers across these communities. these dynamics are as the mayor and supervisor said are seriously impacting the art and we need a permanent solution to address the displacement of our organization. we collaborate with local government agencies, businesses, and civic leaders and artist to purchase and lease space for artist in the organization and to develop and expand their facilities and purchase their own facilities. we are developing this with the can an foundation and we fund arts in san francisco. and it's wit

but kim did not hold what would have been his first summit meeting during the mongolian leader's visit. he began his four-day state visit to north korea on monday. this year marks the 65th anniversary of diplomatic ties between the two countries. the mongolian president met with members of the north korean leadership, including kim yung nam who is second in command. many analysts predicted kim jong-un would meet with him but there's been no word on whether they met. north korea's state-run media said he asked kim to give a president to the north korean leader. observers think pyongyang might have refused the mongolian request for a summit. they say the leadership may believe that kim should first meet with the leader of china, the country's key supporter. >>> a german politician says edward snowden is willing to testify in an investigation that u.s. agents monitored the cell phone of german chancellor angela merkel. the lawmaker met the former u.s. intelligence contractor in moscow. german media say the legislator of the opposition green party hans christian strobella spent three hours
