lee newcomers school. with that, it gives me great pleasure to introduce our mayor, mayor london breed. [applause] >> the hon. london breed >> the hon. london breed: malfunction. ed lee wouldn't have had that kind of malfunction with heels on the stage. you know, it's truly an honor to be here today to represent this amazing city as mayor, and it's really an honor to be here with the lee family. and i just -- you know, i still feel his presence when i attend certain events. i still sometimes feel like he's going to walk-through the door so i can bug him and complain him with things about the city. but now, people do that with me, and now i know how he feels. he did it with a smile, he cared about our public schools, our children, their future. so he went beyond what a traditional mayor does and got involved and invested in our kids, especially kids in middle school, where there was oftentimes a lot of challenges. and i can tell you this from personal experiences, with behavioral issues. he knew that that was a place where sadly we often would lose so many kids, and they, in some cases, w

[applause] >> thank you, mayor lee, thank you, anita, thank you, lee family, sfusd leadership, superintendent, our school board for supporting our request to rename our school. today, we stand so proudly to share in a part of history for generations to come as we rename the chinese education center to be the edwin and anita lee new comers school. [applause] right now, you have a real treat. we -- i want to introduce you to our wonderful students. they will be singing a song that our teacher, ms. jane au, who was a former c.e.c. student that wrote and adapted to song. okay, boys and girls, standup. [children singing] [applause] >> okay. thank you very much our young people of the edwin and anita lee newcomers school. good morning, everyone. let's have everyone say good morning to me. good morning, everyone. thank you all for being here. my name is hydra mendoza, and as of two days ago, i'm a former president of the san francisco school district, and it's been a proud honor to serve the school district for the last 12 years. in that time, i also served as mayor lee's deputy chief of staff for e

we're very excited to have mayor lee -- i'm sorry. mayor breed to -- and supervisor kim to be at our ground breaking today. i would like to first -- i'm trying to make this short and cover everybody, and this has -- it's been an effort to get to this point today, and i wanted to first thank you, thank my partner and investor that came all the way from asia, they came specifically for this ground breaking. chris chang, who represents c.d.c., continental development corporation, from taiwan, and mr. ran, from shanghai. they are both very successful and socially responsible developers in asia. so i want to just mention a few names that help us get here today. one of them is the tenderloin housing clinic and randy shaw who actually hosted our bimonthly meetings in their office across the street from here, alongside with tndc and hospitality house. we -- the housing clippnic is going to help us provide a job training program to allow the residents in their projects to learn the skill to work in the -- the hotel when we opened. so there are

and mayor lee was especially good with that, and we're not missing a beat with mayor london breed, and i'm so happy to have her here, and she's going to talk about fleet week, and welcome, everybody. mayor breed? [applause] >> the hon. london breed: thank you. it is so great to be here to kick off fleet week in the city and county of san francisco. and i'd like to welcome all the men and women who serve our country in the navy, in the coast guard, in the air force. it means a lot to have you here and to welcome you here to san francisco. this week, i truly look forward to seeing the blue angels. this is a time honored tradition in the city and county of san francisco, and i've got to tell you, i went to galileo high school, and so sometimes we would be really late to class waiting for the blue angels to fly over our high school and the football field. people look forward to this time of year every single year. people come from not just all over the bay area, they come from all over the united states just to see the parade of ships, to see the blue angels, to show appreciation to the pe

response kava made to the civil grand jury, and i just want to thank all the supervisors and late mayor lee and current mayor breed for their support of the open source voting system. we at open voting consortium and now the california voting officials are the pioneers of this open source voting and realize switching to a new election technology takes time. it's not necessarily complicated to build out the system. there's precedent in new hampshire, but if we're going to do it right, obviously, we have to garner the political will that's taken about ten years, and now we're glad to see linda jerrell and the department of technology step in and we can hopefully get started. this year's civil grand jury called me in to discuss the kava discuss, and the new grand jury accepted the answer i presented, and i had some corrections to the report. it seemed to be basically founded in the slalom report, and i've gone on record in front of the election commission to say that the slalom report was erroneous in a lot of ways. it is great news that we look like we're moving toward a general public licens

this was a report that was commissioned by our late mayor edwin lee. asked myself and the director of the department of the emergency management to work with outside consultants to help us preview our existing tall buildings in san francisco. copies of the summary and the recommendations and summaries are available here and will be postponed online at one san francisco.org/resilience/sf. it's a pioneering effort by the city of san francisco is the first of its kind in this nation. and it represents 14 months of city wide collaboration with the san francisco tall building stock. having this information available is a huge step forward and our ability to think collectively and proactively as a city about the seismic safety and the resilience of our tall buildings in the implications of their surround be neighborhoods. here today, we have with -- we just came from a tall building panel discussion and discuss our strategies with us today is professor greg deerloin and a member of the applied technology council. he is an author of the study many of we also

first of all, recognize that supervisor, excuse me, that mayor lee was the original mayor that was around when the legislation was introduced and had some apprehensions on it. mayor farrell refused to deal with it, but mayor breed stepped up to the table to try to solve and close the gap and then was demotted and then now she's back, and so it's almost like a romantic saga. i want to talk about the household labor. tim paulson, in the middle of his own transition, leading the conversation and he transitioned from the labor council to the building trades, and then you rudy gonzales, stepped up, not confirmed but stepping in the role. a really interesting exercise in leadership and diplomacy. a lot of thank yous that need to go around, and you know what else, one lost his mother in the middle of the transition, thank you for being so resilient and strong and able to continue to press on. rudy's little boy got sick -- incredible, you don't know behind the scenes what has transpired, it's been a very, very heavy lift. and although we are going, doing a lot of thank yous around, acknowledge th

i want to reiterate this idea that mayor lee's commitment was clear. when we did prop b, he was clear we're going to put money into this for teacher housing. and he said that over and over again. and he wanted to make sure we were all meeting together, because this couldn't be a project that the school district could lead, or the city could lead on its own. and it's been a wonderful project to see. i want to thank faith, kate and jeff from the mayor's team. they've been great in making sure the city is clear about their participation in this and how critical was for us to do something this innovative in a city where many of our educators are deeply challenged. so on thursday, we're going to be doing a school-naming in honor of mayor lee and i thought it was just appropriate for us to once again recognize his commitment to our educators. and thankful for that. three bedrooms. i was glad to see we're have three bedrooms. we don't have three bedrooms in a lot of the developments that are coming online now. i'm wondering if that was intended for families,

this was a carefully negotiated deal that supervisor peskin and i engage in with mayor lee at the time, and a number of projects in this pipeline and at that point not a single person brought up the equity that some projects may be coming along later in the pipeline than others. in fact, most of these projects aren't from 2013. they really are the projects later down the pipeline. so i think for me, it's a little puzzling why this issue is coming up today and why this issue wasn't identified earlier when this ordinance was written with the consensus of our board, the mayor and the planning department? i mean, the point you are bringing up is not new. right? it's not like we didn't recognize this issue when we cut this deal back in april of 2016. why is this an issue today? why wasn't this identified earlier? >> supervisor, the primary reason it was not identified earlier is because the legislation that was under consideration at the time didn't propose changes to that portion of the code and so it was not actually -- because it would have been adopted as the trailing legislation to pro

the other thing is i went to the point of information by the manager and i know that mayor lee valuedand obviously mayor. >> the hon. london breed: equity and inclusion so everyone talks about smart goals as a way that we function and non profits in a government so they're called smart, where you add inclusion and equity into the goal. what i was so moved by your presentation was how you did that. when you talk about inclusion you have to think about language and we have to think about labor rights and that would just be another sort of on what you said. this is systematic approach and i don't know if we're allowed to add questions but it would be fun to see if a couple of folks can volunteer through our policy committee to see if there's any concrete taking this example and having it have reach around the state. >> one update, a bill was passed and i don't remember the number or sponsor but one of the things we uncover when we worked in this field is while we knew which chemicals we wanted to ban, when you went into the store they're not on the labels of the products. it turns out th

little bit all over the map, but this is going to roll out and we need to streamline, whether it's mayor lee or our current mayor. i think all 11 members of the board are trying to do that. we're holding adu fairs. we are looking for a financing product that will help mom-and-pop owners doing it. i'm not totally sanguine. it's a relatively small percentage of the entire package. i think it's worth analysis, the fee structure. and certainly i agree that lower fees are an incentive, but i don't know this is where the bottle neck is occurring. so as to f-6, it's not a big deal, but partially disagree and say that the recommendation requires further analysis within six months of this hearing date. and maybe during that time we can get the controller to do further analysis to determine the effect of permit fees on the construction of new adus. and i think that is more consistent with our recommendation which is that further analysis is required. so i would make that suggestion relative to f-6. >> supervisor kim: thank you, supervisor peskin. i agree that does make our amendments more consistent.

our office got involved under the direction of late mayor lee, who wanted to see our office working closely with dph and rolling out -- not just the enforcement, but developing incentives. i think we want to hear what merchants have to say before we develop the incentives that the city can offer and implement. >> which form would you like that? i know we've had several different meetings which businesses -- i think we as a commission want to move towards somewhat of a report, but i think this could be part of the brainstorming. i know when supervisor tang came and reported on the flexible detail, the good news is that only tobacco stores can be under that. how do we connect businesses to more opportunities where they can like, you know, add a different type of retail element to their businesses? how do we increase that technical support? how do we implement a serious fee mitigation effort? this is something that is in dph and oewd's means. if we provide you certain fees that we want to look into and you provide the data, how do we then make that a proposal that some 0 -- we shouldn't be pay

and you don't have jurisdiction over them because late mayor lee gave it away to the p.u.c. so i hope that it has always been our hope that you would do a better job with the capping in the numbers of uber and lyft out there. thank you. >> chair c. brinkman: thank you, mr. fonseco. >> cory lamb and antonio yon, and joan fisher and joel hirschcorn. >> good afternoon. my name is cory lamb and i oppose the current recommendation. i benefitted directly from the taxi medallion. i went and purchased a taxi medallion in may and then i hear from you today. it's really about every driver being able to make money and they should have the opportunity to make money anywhere in san francisco. i have been driving since 2006 and one of the great things about this particular job that i have had is the ability to go anywhere in san francisco. treasure island, s.f.o., the city, every day is different and every day you do what you want to do. that's part of the freedom of this job. one of the things that i'm concerned about the most is the pre-prop k medallion holders that have been doing this

when i met down with mayor lee in 2009, we had a sit down program to issue medallions to drivers. it took three years to put the first one out, and it was $250,000, so let's get the story straight, okay? that uber and lyft started in 2008, okay, so four years before they put one cab out, what's that tell you? and these people that have post-k medallions -- i'm the president of the company, have worked their lives, sweat equity, working picking up people, daily, hard, every day, and now she wants to ban them from the airport? she wants to take their livelihood away? [inaudible] [applause] >> before we call the next speaker, i want to call a new more names, and you can just lineup. david smith, don velez, roberto marquez. >> good afternoon. i have been driving a cab for 30 years. i do take a lot of pride in what i do for a living. it's safe to say you have an overdose of the problems we are faced with as an industry, and this taxi medallion reformed proposed by the m.t.a. will not solve it. revoking pre-k medallions, skraming against post-k medallioning -- discriminating against pos

recognizing that last year, mayor lee and i convened the 50 person task force 2045 that was charged with identifying transportation needs and solution to ensure that the next generation of transit and street improvements are there and are funded. it wasn't just the mayor's -- it wasn't the mayor's task force or the board's, it was the cities, and the input came in over half a year with neighborhood leaders, businesses big and small and transportation advocates. as you've heard before, the task force identified $22 billion in infrastructure and transit need over the next 27 years, which is a daunting amount that will require federal, state, and of course local investment to defray. i'm proud to say that -- [inaudible] >> supervisor peskin: -- to affirm san francisco's ability to levee a pertrip tax on t.n.c. trips, and i want to acknowledge that bill had the support of the t.n.c. industry in the form of uber and lyft, as well. i thank all of them for their support, and now, we have to take the next step, which is to craft a tax to put before the voters in november of 2019, and i look forw
