the city charter says that you will not use city land for non recreational purposes. cultural immersion is a wonderful thing. there are some people there, i have been told, that we would like a continuance until august 19th. there are proposals to pay for the city college program to raise money that the department rightfully needs. thank you. >> thank you. >> i actually have the benefit of being a homeowner. i have a 10-week-old. on i am a homeowner in parnassus' heights and there is actually a playground that we go to probably every single day that has this recreational purpose. this is a private preschool. we have been coexisting with them. my to-rule has been going to that park every single day and interacting with those children even though a portion of that program is dedicated for them. they coexist with them. there are students and we are able to play together. we have been using the playground down at the hollow for years. i will not speak to the program, and i will just speak to what it is like as a parent. i don't think we have talked about the fact that our

commission, and any other required city decision makers after completion of the internal review under the california environmental quality act. because these projects have not completed environmental review, the city expressly retains all of its regulatory discretion to approve or reject these projects. approve alternatives to the project, or adopt mitigation measures. this reservation of discretion is discussed in considerable detail in the proposed agreement attached to your materials. once the city has completed the environmental review and approve the necessary project in thailand, the agreement before you comes to life and garments the terms of the real estate transaction, which the city and sfmoma would then finalize. again, we have representatives from fire, dpw, other jurisdictions, as well as the sfmoma team to answer any questions you may have. supervisor maxwell: all right, then, why don't we hear from the fire department?

words, but right now i don't know what i can say about this particular man who means so much to not only the city, not only the board of supervisors, but especially he means so much to district five. what can i say about this man who walks with us in our rallies, who comes to our homes, who helps us in our projects, and who even gets down in the dirt and help us plant flowers in our houses and neighborhoods to beautify where we live? what can i say about this man whom is the model for all supervisors in not just san francisco but every city in northern california? what can i say about this man? other than welcome, our supervisor district five ross mirkarimi. (applause). i'm going to -- i'm a little stunned. i am so absolutely delightd and honored to be welcoming all of you here for the second annual summer youth show case to city hall. everybody should give themselves a really strong round of applause. (applause). >> now, we know that most of the organizations and most of the youth that are here are from district five and the western edition but it is also a growing family, a impressive growing f

not hiding them. nobody is hiding them. but they are attachments to a disposition and development agreement that the city is not a party to. so if without this language i think the interagency cooperation agreement requires that significant or material amendments, and i would propose that we do use amendment rather than change, they currently are supposed to go back for the agency commission and to affected city departments for approval and it would not require they come back to the board. and again, there are certain things that are approving right now as part of the redevelopment plan amendments. there's the redevelopment plan that's a constitution. if there's anything that's going to affect the rechange the redevelopment plan itself, that only comes back to the board for approval. supervisor chu: okay. so the items that supervisor ross mirkarimi, that you are amending are the underlined documents of 12 and 13? supervisor mirkarimi: thank you. that is correct. and as i stipulated in consultation with the city attorney, it is simply a backstop to make sure the board of supervisors is able to be, i think that umpire potent

and as you come into the city, the affect is going to be a walled part of the city that you are not going to be able to see the hills driving into the city. >> our district was hit hard by ellis act vagzs it was a tool the city allowed. i hope we can continue to try to address. >> very smart people have been talking about this for a long time and good plans have been developed that are plans where we work with developers to get down to build more affordable housing. we hope for more incentives. hope for more contribution to city services in the building of the housing. >> there is the mission safe way which is a single story building surrounded by a parking lot. there are several parcels like that, a lot of people in the neighborhood have been talking about building the spaces out and puts the parking under ground and finds spaces for more affordable housing. preferably a healthy mix of rental and ownership opportunity. >> the current the castro upper market is in the motion of a planning process, meets with stake holders about certain parcels on market street that will be developed and i

not have insurance? and indeed the inoculation? and at $15, they can get the inoculation. and reporting, with kron 4 news. >> city, state, and a balanced budget is the rare thing. however, vicki liviakis de san francisco. >> pellets and the budget is a balancing act and the trick is not only to spread the wealth and to share the pain. san francisco is doing both after cutting costs and deals with city employees. they have signed off on the 2010/2011 budget but the cuts. reduction in overtime, and layoffs of hundreds of city workers. the good news is that the $6.5 billion paget budget is balanced. and closes the deficit without raising taxes. to trim the fat but not all to the bone, city salaries and positions were cut by 10 percent, over time by 16 percent. at the same time, $345 million in cash to be spent for infrastructure, streets, parks, education, and a youth summer jobs program. and to protect the universal health care program, help the san francisco. after a scandal at the city's crime wrap, 11 million is marked for that. and 1 billion towards public safety the budget includes no police, firefighters layo

not intended. notwithstanding anything in the planned documents to the contrary, city-wide to require a local-higher mandate, then the parties agreed and the agencies have the right to make performing changes to the bayview hunters point project. such changes -- should not be subject to the redevelopment plans regarding the city regulations. they agree to make changes to make it consistent with this section 4.2. as everybody knows here, this board of supervisors, many of you, colleagues, are making great leaps in leadership in fortifying the work force roles, with supervisors campos, mar, and others. i think we should also be very careful lining of the law and the conditions with what we are hoping is advanced and implemented by and development. in truth, the redo a lemon law, as is required by project labor agreements, -- in truth, the redevelopment law, as is required by a project laboring agreements. what i am worried about is in the private sector. what i am worried about it is.in this job industry, what are we going to do in order to usher in as many people as we possibly can and may not want t

there is not a city that can claim that and i hope that we can get a thank-you card because i do not always get those not that i am looking for them. this costs money and it comes out of these other things that they are all criticizing. we want to prioritize this. no domestic cuts. no cuts to women's programs. none. [applause] we have some controversial cuts in nutrition programs. people can disagree. that will be controversial. this is the top of my list. here is in number. i am really proud of this. 4027. this is really amazing. my party has always been homelessness. that is what i care about most. we would like to reduce the population 39.5%. this is a number i am proud of. we are increasing support of housing this year by housing -- hundreds of units. now we have in our portfolio 4027 supportive housing units. thousands and thousands of human beings have to radically changed and this enhances the support of housing commitment in the city. i am proud of that. that is where we are. in many ways, i am in a lot better shape than many people predicted lots of hard work, a budget that

the port does not share a budget with the city. they cannot collect any tax revenue. they do not have any taxing authority. the port lives and dies by the revenue it generates on the port property. >> how is the ferry building doing in terms of creating revenue? >> it has been phenomenally successful. we are fully leased. the active merchants are incredibly happy to be part of the vibrant community. >> this is one of the most see places in san francisco. anybody who comes here from out of town, you have to walk through the ferry building. >> there are a lot of visitors here. definitely a lot of locals, too, who feel strongly about the connection to the marketplace. >> you were mentioning that this is pierre -- pier 14. >> first, it was a brick water for the downtown ferry terminal, constructed in 2001. after that, we added public access on top of it and connected it to the land side. now is eight 637-foot-long public access pier to enjoy the day, watched the very activity. there is a little bit of art on top of it. there are swivel chairs on a it and there are little s

>> i know it's not the city's. commissioner garcia: even though it's on the street -- >> it's under the sidewalk, it's not out in the sidewalk. because we're really looking -- commissioner garcia: it's ok. i was curious for your sake whether you'd be saving money if the city were to get involved. >> of course i would. i even called my insurance company and said could you help me out here? that's not in list of things they do. but we went straight down from that sidewalk, that's one of the ways into your pipes is to go straight down from the sidewalk, that's even mine and that was full of roots, just the vertical. but then when we went on the horizontal down between the building and the sidewalk, there is one location where the guy said the roots seemed to be -- and it's just where the pipes join. president peterson: dr. kantor, on that note, if this board were to reverse the urban forestry's position and denial, would you be willing to fix your sewer so that -- i mean, obviously you've got a problem whatever tree ge

which will probably frustrate you simply because i am a member of the mayor's staff here at city hall. i am not part of his campaign for lieutenant governor, which is the vehicle by which he has is afforded a seat. i simply will say that if the rest of the city family decides, those people that will be impacted by the spirit of law, the mayor as well. i apologize. supervisor campos: i understand. do you think it's consent for the mayor to say local elected officials should not serve on a county central committee and then to at the same time turn around as a locality elected official, which he remains, then at that same time take a seat on the county central committee? do you think that's consistent? >> i certainly hear you are implying that you don't think that it's not appropriate one way or another for me to judge that or make a statement about that. i represent the mayor here and i am conveying that message. supervisor campos: i would say that it is inconsent. if i had a measure like this on the ballot, the way that mayor newsom is doing, i would be consent with that measure and i would not

what we also see is it did not affect the business in the city center because the people who did not eally need to go into the city are now staying out or coming in by public transport or bicycle. nowadays, the businessmen who need to go into the city with his car for a)> hour, always has room, always pays, even in the neighborhood of the business. there is a limit on tariffs. 5 euros is enough. [inaudible] most business people are afraid that making parking more expensive will actual impact their ability to do business -- will actually impact their ability to do business. >> it also depends on the sort of business and the sort of street. for instance, if the go on the street where gucci is and so on, and you need enough parking spaces. >> with the chairman of the society of amsterdam, they are also supporting this approach. they realize if they just press on the car accessibility only, in the end there will be no excess ability at all. they support strongly that only the people who need to come by car, they should be able to come, and the rest should make other choices. >> i think we

this was parted of the renewal and rebirth of not only the city and county of san francisco but that vesting in people and workers and investing in our communities and rebuilding the infrastructure of not only our great city but this state an the nation and so much of that is reflected in the leadership of nancy pelosi and the leadership that we are looking forward to in the future come this november adds we vote for real change. -- as we vote for real change in this country. i can't help myself. you know, i'm a little bit biased on the topic. it's also a celebration of our community in san francisco that is a living example of lily coit's contribution. the stew ards of our community, the people like ann halstead, ken bailey, the friends of pioneer park, who oftentimes have stepped up when government cannot and kept this place maintained, vibranted -- and kept the elected officials focused on the importance of coit tower to the life of the city not only in its picturesque back drop but it's also a very proud symbol for san franciscoans and a very vibrant part of the life of our city s

city hall, it's silly hall. nothing personal against any of you y'all or nobody that is not here. i have never seen city hall, you can walk down city hall. it's a ghost town that nobody really controls nothing around here. we have a mayor that is getting ready to leave and you have the board of supervisors that is going to have to pick our interim mayor and that has never been done in history. that's going to be very interesting. as a press person, i have been here over 20 years. currently people don't recognize me or really appreciate that i am the media, but i am. i represent my community, the african-american press and i'm going to be here and i want to definitely try to document to see how all of these procedures come out because as you said, it has to be transparent. and our younger generation of the african-american community must know that city hall is open for them, also, because we have less than 4% or% because of the mayor's african-american migration report -- i'm going off schedule here, but i thought i would be remiss if i didn't come up to say that i will be watching

city. we are constantly playing catch- up. obviously, the supply does not meet the demand in the city, and sometimes, parents come to us all the time in terms of trying to figure out ways to build new capacity in the city. i can think of all the work that was done with catholic charities to try to preserve that space. we have a group of parents come to us that look at some school district faces and we try to figure out ways of helping to partially fund and support development of that phase, so i think this resolution will go far in terms of helping us to look at and thoughtfully plan for needs for child-care in the community, for early care and education programs. at the same time, while we're doing that simultaneously, planning for the long term so we will be able to meet the often increasing demands that we face all the time in terms of quality child care centers. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i have been a resident of sand and cisco, luckily, for 21 years. i'm also a member of the nonprofit that the parents' group children's village organized to try to

so the comparative dom particular policy program works primarily in the 25 cities that doug mentioned, but not exclusively in those cities. we really are looking for some of the best practices in education and workforce development, in integration of diverse populations and affordability and quality of life issues in cities and regions and also -- and sustainability, in which encompasses a broad range of things. it's primarily environmental sustainability. the overarching theme which i think is particularly pertinent here in the bay area is regional governance and cooperation where we try to emphasize move each of our cities that they really need to figure out in their broader economic region, not just within their city limits. so how do you coordinate with the communities around you to advance some of these policy issues, whether it's transportation, environmental improvements, economic development, education systems, workforce training, etc. these are some of the issues that we really want to publicize the best practices so that practitioners such as ourselves can bring these ideas back home

necessary in my modest opinion one of many plans to the barrel of a new constellation of seats for not only one city here is not again moscow he's mostly here but he's necessarily course the nations who for example you know that you know this area more or less sure but you understand that this is quite fun. news. oh yeah the. some. maybe not that rise to two hundred kilometers of is not possible or practical you arrive really the the tran the re not exist many times duran's are and then my question is is absolutely necessary for my opinion differing there are a lot of policies of the new metropolitan areas like that. in bays in the or on the base of the higher speed rail but only ever so listen you mentioned the federal government good russia has always been a very centralized country with a central government in central iraq and of the country now do you think it really would you expect the government in moscow that it will want to establish another huge metropolitan area as big and as powerful as moscow in the qur'an to react to some or do you think this is this may happen i.e. my opinion should b

i do not take it for granted. this is an incredible city.where i go, i tell everyone that this is the atlantis of today. there is no other city in the world -- i have been everywhere. there is nothing like san francisco. in fact, to me, it is not even the united states. you can see how fox network always attacks us. we do not have an inferiority complex. we just do not follow blindly. we question authority. as i said before, a person for person, there are more artists and con artists in the bay area. >> you are someone who has identified so strongly with the bay area. a lot of it reflects the values that you also identify with. i know that you have been promoting an idea for a work of public art that could be pretty transformative. could you talk about that? >> peace brother is something that i saw, i think in the 1980's there was this lady. she started back there and converted -- she went to the neighborhood and was collecting the guns from some of the gang members. she had it melted and turned into angels. we want to do the same thing and

and that is not a city landmark. the guy who owns it is very aware of its significance as maybe the last and best example of a carville house. he really wants to take care of it. i don't know if he would go forward with any landmark designation just because like a lot of homeowners he doesn't want to be at all boxed in with what he can do. but that's kind of where we are. i think it is a landmark. if anything had to come up, i would definitely nominate it as one. the other examples of carville houses, there's one on 47th avenue where the cars have been basically removed and all you've really got left is perhaps the floors of a couple of cars. it was a great example until, i guess, the late 1950's. and whoever bought house decided to take out most of the woodwork. that might be the only one, the one on great highway. >> i mentioned one of the problems with plumbing with these carville homes. i was wondering at what point in history did outhouses become illegal in san francisco? >> i'm not sure of that. but outhouses w

like so many other nights in this great city, tonight is special. not just because of the award being received, which honors otter this from generations who have made this city great and have been made great by the city. no city invites the hard to soar like san francisco does. and renowned san francisco and may have set a better when she said the some of them -- synonym for san francisco is inspiration. most people think that cities inspire leaders and leaders inspire cities, but i would like to add that artists inspired cities and cities inspire artists. who knows which in print -- which inspiration comes first? it does not really matter, what matters is that happens. right here in our city, generation after generation. we are proud to participate tonight in the recognition of one of music's greatest artists. to continue to fulfill the pledge from one year ago to expand the coverage of the arts and support arts in our community. we want to thank you for allowing us to move out on this rewarding mission, thanking you for the opportunity to serve tonigh

management regularly utilize city employees from the san francisco department of the environment to help themselves and knowingly falsely claim that the product that they use does not contain lead or heavy metals. such dishonesty and political shenanigans will undoubtedly have consequences. city field and rbd clearly knows is false and misleading. the board of supervisors and park commission have been told -- and, no, it is not true. the question is if children are going to develop sicknesses from these parts, including the golden gate park, but how many and how soon? it is currently on know how much exposure it will take before children that are in hailing the degrading material in these fields will begin exhibiting symptoms of accumulated lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, chronic asthma, acute mrsa bacterial infections, cancer, or other medical complications. we request that the row and valid environmental studies and procedures be conducted before materials are selected in the future and that the public be properly and fairly informed of any risks that their use made in detail. thank you. supervisor maxwell: welcome. any further public comment on this item? pub

with this -- we did not just wake up and decide that we wanted to play a bunch of cops. they're trying to avoid problems in the city and they are ready to react to. policing is not only react if. the more elegant type of police in this is not a crime that occurred. mego a larger step further. we meet with our community. but need to the community have to look at the resources that we have available that we deployed and we apply to this based on the partnership and this could be the tool. this is not the only tool and i think it is extremely simplistic to say it could be equated it to community policing. it could be 200 years ago in an annex that we would -- when i started in this business, i was there for anyone to say what we were doing was community policing. to walk into the neighborhood and get to inertia, that is community policing. community policing is a much broader concept. to put this, this is absolutely so. we have more police and then what we have had in many years. this is a tool to slug it is talking to the neighbors and trying to anticipate what might happen in the neighborhood is like having the patr

things that even when we had all the resources in the world and all the capacity, things that cities could not do. this commitment to an acute care, facility, a skilled nursing facility -- what county is having a ribbon cutting on a new nursing facility in this modern age? and what city and county can lay claim to comprehensive universal health care, regardless of pre- existing conditions, regardless of your ability to pay? dr. mitch kastz has been the architect of all of this. thank you for your leadership. there is the old play towline that if there is any hope for the future of those with lanterns will pass them on to others. let me talk about those that carry bright lights, that pass those lanterns on to others. many of them you will hear in just a moment, because they are appropriately on stage and will be recognized for their own work. one is the former mayor, willie gramm, who deserves a tremendous amount of credit for envisioning the bonds that brought us here. i want to thank in particular the leadership of the city attorney, who in some ways is responsible for us being here because s

not mean to say that he is. i just wanted to say he is sensitive to the fact that he will be living outside the city, and he articulated that. commissioner campos: i do not know if there is also an opportunity to hear from the two applicants. and is trying to understand the process. >> it was my envision that we would follow the same process you do with rules committee with commissioners where they would get a chance to speak, but that would be up to you to decide because this is technically not the city and county. it is a separate agency, so you could follow that procedure or any other procedure you so wish. commissioner mirkarimi: all right. is miss pimentel here? i would be more than happy. if you would like to address us, please do, and then we will give the same courtesy to commissioner schmeltzer as well. >> can i ask that you speak a little louder? i have the hearing loss. commissioner mirkarimi: by all means, if you would like to take two or three minutes and address as, we would welcome that. >> ok, thank you. good afternoon. my name is leah pimentel. i have lived in baby-hunters point for 28 years. i'm a thi

website and we were able to do on line forums with our residents who were not back in the city who were displaced to find out what the barriers are and what they continue to be. we were able to reach out and link them to a service that could aid them into coming home and help them do so. you can look at housing issues. how are you going to address the infrastructure as soon as the disaster strikes? one thing why i'm telling you this regardless of how much government helps you prepare you will have to depend on one another when a disaster come. it's your neighbors who will be the first responders in your community. the police officers and fire fighters, it takes time for them to get to everyone. you have to look out for

city. we need a little bit more than a telephone number to get people to come in. if they did notg income, they would turn it in. >> thank you. we will close public comment. >> i like to ask you all to review the same data. we want to be the most effective city in recovering those costs. i presume you will follow up. >> to be happy to do this. the king to propose legislation in the coming months are so, this titans' our ability to increase penalties. we are looking forward to working with the board on this in the future. thank you. >> and os that this would go to the board without recommendation. >> a cave. that is the last item on our special. we can go to the first item on our regular meeting. this is about the appropriation to bring forward and to balance. we're looking at this for the move on it -- on expended funds. i will just read what is on here. the first part is 6.3 million in the general fund balance which is really the real estate transfer tax. there is also related to that, an increase in property tax, a formula that goes towards the surplus in library and other fund

it is not the city's job to assist in such machinery. lacking any concrete plans, the city presents the prospect of intrusive and dangerous upgrades described as maintenance and/or neglect resulting in the increased risk of fire and other safety hazards. no easy task for a renter to have a landlord or aggressive building manager can -- t-mobile did no outreach to the community. comes at no surprise that they are being investigated for illegal placing of antennas throughout northern california. the community expressed concerns. on the 18th the board of supervisors overturned the commissions approval. it is time for the planning commission to look hard at these proposals and discourage these abuses for the concerns of the city. please deny this permit and take d.r., thank you very much. >> we provided you with alternative sites, valid ones. they did not even try for one month to go and look at them. i talked to -- they would love to have them at the lokes we suggested. they came in with an arrogant response, not one piece of paper to our a

the truth of the matter is that city employees want nothing more than a well-run, efficient city that is not only a city that is the most progressive city in the country but also the most effective, efficient, and well- run. i want to thank the mayor for his leadership over the last few years in moving san francisco into that direction, and i think on behalf of all city employees, it really is a pleasure to be part of the process. congratulations to everybody. [applause] >> there you have it. you get all of us individually. thank you for coming out, and as david chiu just said, we are prepared. we see some state the mission in terms of contribution, federal, we are ready to go. we are ready to get to work, and we will be moving on to next year's budget very soon. smile, department heads. thank you all. [laughter] >> good evening and welcome to the july 21st, 2010 board of appeals. the presiding officer is tanya pettersson and joining her is joining vice-president goh, commissioner fung and commissioner hwang. we have some representatives from city departments such as the deputy director of b

outstanding local police department involvement presented to the city and county of san francisco just recently. so, our efforts are not only paying dividends in being recognized locally by the community, most importantly, and by leaders throughout the city and the region and state, but now across the country. now, quickly to the stats, the chief will walk you through ain specific detail. i will say just the following. last year we saw a 54% decline in homicides in the city among the lowest rates we had in over half a century. in fact, the stats get very questionable in those 1940's, 1950's and 1960's. but they are down to the lowest level since the early 1960's. we had crime, violent crime, part one crime in the city, drop 10%, double digits, last year. the statistics that the chief will give you today are based upon those historic drops last year. i say that to make this point. they are even more significant working with your district captains who are also here. analyzing problems in your kennedy and determining the priority for police enforcement. this is a cornerstone of the community policing models that we have i

city. it is something i know will be on the chopping block again next year. i hope it is not, but i suspect it will be on the chopping block next year along with other mental health services in the city. it does not seem like we have the ability to implement it without replacing existing services for patients in the city. i do see the need for people to have greater access to mental health services and have strong treatment and the best the san francisco can provide for services. sentences spoken meet the needs of people on the streets or living in isolation. -- san francisco can meet the needs of people on the streets or living in isolation. i cannot feel comfortable this. i think we could have a discussion with the full board. i think that would be a better way to go. i do not necessarily want to keep it in committee. we might go forward with a recommendation. supervisor chu: the item is before us. i believe we will need a roll call. before we do that, i want to thank supervisor alioto-pier for her leadership in bringing this item forward and bringing people together today

they are able to receive food vouchers to get milk and cereal for their children. >> it's for the city, not only our clinic, but the city. we have all our children in san francisco should have insurance now because if they are low income enough, they get medical. if they actually have a little more assets, a little more income, they can get happy family. we do have family who come outside of our neighborhood to come on our clinic. one thing i learn from our clients, no matter how old they are, no matter how little english they know, they know how to get to chinatown, meaning they know how to get to our clinic. 85 percent of our staff is bilingual because we are serving many monolingual chinese patients. they can be child care providers so our clients can go out and work. >> we found more and more women of child bearing age come down with cancer and they have kids and the kids were having a horrible time and parents were having a horrible time. how do parents tell their kids they may not be here? what we do is provide a place and the material and support and then they figure out their own tr
