supervisor olague.ission does its presentation, we have a request from the mayor's office to say a few words. i believe jason elliott is here to say a few words and has to leave before 11:00. >> i appreciate you letting me speak very quickly. thank you to supervisor olague, to supervisors kim and avalos as well for being co-sponsors of this resolution and especially thank you not youth commission for raising this issue. it's an issue that the mayor and the commissioners i think are of one mind on. that is that summer jobs, well, jobs in general, but summer jobs for youth is an important priority for the city. we have a number of programs as supervisor olague mentioned including p.u.c.'s project pool, the youth works and these provide paid internships and summer temporary employment for young people. as with anything, there are funding constraints to being able to continue to provide more and more and more slots and so what the mayor has tried to do and i appreciate supervisor olague's amendments there,

supervisor olague, did you want to say a few opening remarks? supervisor olague: yes.t this item today on the summer jobs plus program which would connect young san franciscans to summer employment opportunities and would open the door for many youth in san francisco to career pathways and opportunities that may have otherwise. summer jobs plus is an obama administration initiative that challenges business leaders to join with the federal government in providing hundreds of thousands of summer jobs for america's youth. it was established in 2010 and promotes successful partnerships with the private sector to make employment opportunities far more reachable for young people. subsequently, on january 31, 2012, this board of supervisors adopted a resolution sponsored by supervisor elsbernd which called on the city to development and implement a local smuss plus jobs plan. in the past few months, mayor lee and others have met with private sector leadership among others to increase awareness and financial support for this program. i also want to note that mayor lee is expec

supervisor olague: um, no. supervisor chiu: all right, unless there is further discussion, whether we take another roll-call vote? >> on item 10 -- supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: no. supervisor olague: aye. supervisor wiener: no. supervisor avalos: no. supervisor campos: no. supervisor chiu: no. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: no. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: no. >> there are four ayes and seven no. supervisor chiu: the resolution is not adopted. item 11. >> item 11 is a resolution authorizing the issuance and delivery of a multi-housing revenue bonds in an amount not to exceed approximately $40.1 million for the purpose of providing financing but the acquisition and construction of a 150-unit multifamily rental unit housing project. supervisor chiu: roll-call vote? >> and added 11 -- supervisor kim: aye. supervisor mar: aye. supervisor olague: aye. supervisor wiener: aye. supervisor avalos: aye. supervisor chiu: aye. supervisor chiu: aye. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: aye

commissioner olague? commissioner olague: in addition to the numerical information, i also want to see the demographic breakdown. related to the survey. >> mm-hmm. yeah, so we have access to some of the demographic information. commissioner olague: i don't need it today, obviously. >> we would be happy to work with your office for the specifics that you are interested in. commissioner olague: or their barriers in terms of accessing this product? >> no, the product that will be offered to the account holder of record, so if your renter but pay your own electric bill, which is typically the case, you would be the person who gets to decide whether you are part of the program or not. commissioner olague: ok. chairperson campos: ms. miller? >> i wanted to add to what barbara was saying. the first is the schedule. in addition to the proposed contract with shell that will be before the board, the sfpuc has also been working on hiring a marketing consultant to start the program, and that process has been ongoing,

and i realize supervisor olague just came. and if it make sense, if you'd like to make any opening comments to help frame this. supervisor mar: thank you for being here, supervisor olague and thank you for calling this hearing as well with president chu. >> when i first was appointed in january, this was an issue that was brought to my attention by a lot of neighborhoods or residents, particularly of the alamo square area, who were dealing with a lot of issues around noise smmbings the impacts and the -- some of the impacts of the tour bus stops and just the quality of life issues that were basically weighing on residents of this neighborhood. also, i believe that in many ways -- i'm glad that i had the opportunity to speak with the tour bus operators, but it just seems to me that at the time i wasn't aware that supervisor chu had been working for some time on this issue. but one thing that i found is there seemed to be a certain way of approaching it that maybe was more focused on neighborhood impacts instead of citywide poli

supervisor olague: i think that's -- yes? >> [inaudible] supervisor olague: ok. ok. thank you for responding. what is the prevalence of homicides this year? >> this year was down, last year was down. 2008 was 100, last year was half that. we use com-stat data and getting notified by the police department when there is a homicide or a shooting. we have also been working closely with dcyf on the crisis response services. so we can try to coordinate the services. we're really talking about violence and how to create a healthy communities. it is a much broader discussion, there are other strategies we can put into place. >> since i have been dealing with this, many years now, the difficulty is that it is a very complex issue. folks often work for a singular solutions. >> i think that the issue of mental health is the focus of a lot of our discussion. there are some cultures that have issues responding to that. i think there is still a lot of work to do and a lot of education to do. i want to thank you all for being here. for all the work that you do. i know that i'm hopi

supervisor olague: i am sorry, i should have said something sooner. supervisor chiu: does cast a vote, and we will resent it and go through it. supervisor olague: aye. supervisor wiener: no. supervisor avalos: no. supervisor campos: no. supervisor chiu: no. supervisor chu: aye. supervisor cohen: no. supervisor elsbernd: aye. supervisor farrell: no. >> there are five ayes and 6 nos. supervisor chiu: the resolution is not adopted. is there a motion to rescind the book? motion rescinded. supervisor cohen has made a motion to rescind. is there a second? can we take a motion to rescind without objection? without objection, the item is rescinded. let's go back to discussion on item 10. supervisor olague: yesterday, we discussed this at the land use committee. we were informed by the person who was creating a contract, who i think might be here, that typically the signs would be reduced that there should be language in the contract that would reduce the size of the sign, and the specifications were not included in the contract originally. i just wanted to, i

supervisor campos: speier olague. -- supervisor olague. supervisor olague: i was wondering what the economic breakdown is. whether they're children from families whose parents have college degrees or not. that sort of thing. trying to get a sense of that. >> ok. i can make a note of that and pull that. all right. any other questions before we move on? ok. so you see from the data from previous years of what has happened in previous years in summer school, in 2008 we offered a summer school. 75% of the courses actually earned credit in that summer school. in 2009, it moved up to 82%. of the courses we were able to offer last summer with the city funding, 93% overall of those students taking the courses actually earned credit. so the approximate -- there were courses that were city funded and courses that were not city funded. we actually -- the city funded were 91% and coupled it with the other courses and the total is about 93% there. so we are -- the summer school that we have been able to provide, we are having a greater success rate as

commissioner olague? commissioner olague: i was wondering if you could -- if you might analyze some of these findings against the measure that -- >> i looked at it a little bit but if you want me to go more deeply into the measure i'm happy to do that and report next month. commissioner olague: yeah, i would. because at the time i thought, well, some of these changes might be considered, i didn't have the advantage of having this information in front of me nor was i aware at the time that there was the study that was in play or in progress, so i would like to, you know, to see -- >> i'm more than happy to do that. with the commission's permission, what i might suggest doing is having me go speak -- if the supervisors are available that co-sponsor, to get some understanding on what's in the measure and why they did it the way they did, go talk with them, share with them what i found so far and see if there's anything they might have questions on. chairperson campos: i think that would be helpful. commissio

[laughter] >> yeah. >> of all, today has been a very active day of the just wonderful announcements, of decisions being made that really reflected the values of the city. i have another one that reflects the value of this city, someone that i have spent privileged to work with for so many years, one began her career as a special assistant, worked her way up as the purchaser, director of purchasing. before that, one of the most difficult task, kind of reminds me of my dpw day is, she had a difficult task of being the director of the taxicab administration. [laught

supervisor olague: [reading names] >> i am chief executive officer at west side community services. i think that i and we have to le fatalities we have each week in the city, the disproportionate number of african americans that are killed in the us fatalities -- and does fatalities and the delivery system. we are children impacted by violence at the structural intersection marginalizes property. they have told of the community with the outcome will prevent youths from becoming involved, basically preventing them from becoming criminals. we look at what rate looks like. i don't think we can be served now in a way that meets our needs. people that are working with social workers, those are considered to be threats to the community. the people need to be educated at around when these organizations offer, and it took me a long time to understand the social workers cover a range of different types of people. for me growing up, social workers came to my house. i wonder how much help they are getting in the system the luck of the community and look at flaws and characters of the family th

supervisor olague: at booker t.hington, and other groups have reached out to our office recently, around some of their day camps and this type of programming. i just want to make sure the children, especially the children that live in some of the adjacent public housing facilities,

supervisor olague: can she start from the beginning again? she seemed a little timid, if she can speak a little more forcefully. supervisor campos: [speaking spanish] supervisor olague: we realize she is nervous. supervisor campos: [speaking spanish] [laughter] >> [speaking spanish] >> hello. she has two children, kindergarten and fifth grade. what she is asking for is we need a summer program to support the academic part for the children, so they can be ready not only for her children, but for the other students, and also, because she is a working mom. she needs to know she is in a program where they are taken care of, a program where there will be doing something academic and other kinds of activities. he also mentioned a little bit about the fact that she wants her children to get tutoring, so they are prepared to go to university. supervisor campos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> my name is jessica, and i go to june jordan school for equity. we need credit recovery options. if not now, when? we need opportunities for students to make

supervisor olague: here. supervisor weiner: present. >> all members are present. president chiu: please join me in the pledge of allegiance. [pledge of allegiance] colleagues, we have the february 28 board meeting minutes. can i have a motion to approve? without objection, those meeting minutes are approved. are there any communications? >> i have no communications. president chiu: could we go to our first agenda item? >> an ordinance amending the city code to establish city policy regarding participation in federal counter-terrorism activities. supervisor kim: thank you. i know this ordinance is now back to us for a second vote. i want to speak again about why i support this ordinance is strongly. as i have stated before, this ordinance is a product of years of work by our era, middle eastern, muslim, and south asian constituents in communities. what you have heard at our allies -- rallies are truly emotional, but this is not reactionary. women to a process with our human rights commission and police commission. we spent several months working on that draft befor

supervisor olague. supervisor olague: yeah, i guess so we're well aware that we have these goals around employment of youth, but i was wanting to get your take on how you think we can support those individuals once they're actually employed to stay employed. what type of support do you think people, youth need or you say in some instances as we saw the tay youth, the people who have challenging, have had faced some challenges in their past and also? some significances, it may be youth that are employed for the first time. so what are some of the soft skills that you think should accompany this type of, you know, goal? >> thank you for the question, supervisor. i think i'll leave a really robust description of those soft skills to the providers who are going to come to you, but on slide five, when we mentioned the portfolio and the millions of dollars that we spend through the children's fund on youth programming, the youth employment coalition of 28-plus providers, they are culturally competent provider

supervisor olague: thank you very much, yes. i wanted to thank mr. alvarez for being here, for listening to this, as we speak about creating healthy neighborhoods and healthy living places. i just want to thank you for being present and listening to the testimony.

supervisor olague: i would move to accept those recommendations. supervisor avalos: we will take that motion without objection. the amendments have been made, really to hours of operation. supervisor kim: i am glad i sat in for item number one, i am incredibly supportive of the police go. between second and first, mission and howard, i was that of any that evening and i don't usually drive down town. i was surprised, i did not realize there would be no attendance on site. an hour after that, the shooting took place in the very parking lot. i think this is a very important thing that we need to do. we put a lot of regulations in terms of security on the nightlife of the news. our parking lots need to take responsibility in ensuring that the neighborhoods are safe as well. the way, it'll be an important step forward. i was really surprised to see something that had been the code prior to this amendment taking place on page 6, subsection 12, lines 13-21. i appreciate that in the beginning of the of the ministry dakota that it is required that the oper

supervisor olague: i would like to sever item 21. president chiu: items 23 and 24, can we do that same house, same call. without objection, those are adopted. item 21. >> a resolution supporting the assembly built 1831. regarding the extension of california's bandbox policy. supervisor olague: this extends the ban the box policy across california. people who are convicted of crimes experience difficulty in re-entering the workforce. this pushes public-sector employers to ensure a strong nexus between an applicant's past criminal infractions and the duties of a position when the applicant is refused the job. the bill would not eliminate required positions in law enforcement or any of the checks that are required by statutes. rather, it would eliminate barriers to employment for people who were previously convicted but are making the appropriate strides to join the state work force. the city and county of san francisco currently offers these protections and my office vetted this resolution. as a leading city, we must support policies t

motion by commissioner avalos, seconded by commissioner olague. if we can take that without objection? item 8. madam clerk: item no. 8 is public comment. chairperson campos: any member of the public who would like to speak on any item within the jurisdiction of lafco not otherwise on the agenda. seeing none, public comment is done. item 9. madam clerk: item no. 9 is future agenda items. chairperson campos: colleagues, any future agenda items? any member of the public would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. last item. madam clerk: last item isa, jowrnt. chairperson campos: meeting adjourned. thank you, everyone, and have a good weekend. thank you to staff and to the clerk for their good work. >> everyone deserves a bank account. in san francisco, anyone can have a bank account. everyone is welcome, even if you are not a u.s. citizen or have bad credit. qualifying for a bank account is simple, just lived or worked in san francisco and had a form of id >> we started bank on san francisco at six years ago. we wanted to make sure th

i think supervisors mar and olague infor bringing this. thank you. -- thank supervisors mar and olague for bringing this. >> i am here to speak in favor of the legislation. financial institutions can be an amended t -- an amenity but when they began to dominate it causes problems. one is the loss of character. a lot of the formula retail uses in banks is one of them. they bring with them some of the flaws that suburban uses tend to have, they tend to be automobile oriented and they are -- they have the standard delivery, to be viewed driving down the road at 50 or 60 miles an hour. it tends to be huge, not pedestrian scale. often they are dead on the ground level. they keep limited hours. evenings and weekends are generally closed. if you have a domination of them in your commercial district, it can make it sort of deserted at night. this measure would not say no financial institutions ever. if it is a

that's why supervisor olague and i wanted to team up and hold this hearing. so what i do hope the travel industry and the tour operators understand is what can we do together to make sure that tourism can peacefully co-exist with our residential neighborhoods. secondly i want to mention that i appreciate the fact that there is now an association of tour bus operators. i think one of the problems that we've seen, though, is that the association represents local tour bus operators, and we still have dozens and dozens of buses coming in less frequently that are not part of your association that don't understand the local rules and are creating issues for our neighborhoods. i had heard that in alamo square, for example, that the local tour bus folks had imposed a silence zone. but i could tell from the nodding or the lack of nodding in the room, i don't think every alamo resident believes that there is -- we can see it right now -- believes that there is this quiet zone that has been well enforced. and one thing i would ask the industry folks to think about is ho

i want to express my appreciation to supervisor kim and supervisor olague. tonight is your night, your town hall meeting. there are some rules that we have laid out so that we can hear everybody. i want to thank carmen chu who is the head of our budget committee this year for the board of supervisors. [applause] she and other supervisors will be paying a lot of close attention to this year's budget with me, working closely because we are challenged this year, again, but maybe not as challenging as a year or two years ago, but still facing serious challenges. we have to have a two-year budget this year. so it is not just what will happen in 12-13. we have to balance 13-14 as well. i want to engage you and listen to what your lives will be like, not just for this next year, but two, five years. i would be interested in doing that. i have a theme that i want to lay out tonight, something that supervisor olague, alluded to as a philosophy. we have not made any decisions on the budget yet about what we have to do to balance it. so i wanted to know that from the s

supervisor olague: at booker t. washington, and other groups have reached out to our office recently, around some of their day camps and this type of programming. i just want to make sure the children, especially the children that live in some of the adjacent public housing facilities, are really having the resources provided to them that they need to have a fulfilled -- you know, a summer that is going to provide them with, you know, some recreation. supervisorlaxities see why it ao provides work force and development and career exposure year round, but we are expanding our summer job opportunities for young people but will provide approximately 1500 summer jobs for young people commo, and i tk most people know about the largest program as well as the job fair placed with in city government and a partnership we have this rec and park department. the mayor on failed s summer jobs plus, and this came after -- the mayor unveiled summer jobs plus, and this was to hire more young people, to give them an experience durin

supervisor campos: supervisor olague. supervisor olague: this is like beyond acceptable. i mean, i'm shocked. i mean, this is significantly -- you have -- i'm not even going to -- 29% of african-american students, i mean, that's just -- i'll be really -- you know -- anyway, part of what i would like to know is where do these students live? where do they actually live? if we can get that kind of information. i would like to know what schools they attend. what their age groups are. this is shocking to me and we're at crisis. >> yes. we do not disagree. and that this is -- one of the areas why we are so concerned and we want to address this, and you'll see in just a moment what were the inputs to try to immediately address this data that we receive. because we had this data last spring. and this is why we made the decisions for the inputs we did last summer. in just a few moments you'll see some of our successes from the inputs. so you'll see that. but we agree with you. >> it seems to me like there needs to be a robust program. not just in terms of how the school system dea

supervisor olague: great. thank you. i am writing down a few questions now. sharon bell. >> good afternoon. san francisco family and children services was selected about 14 years ago as one of six national sites to participate in a federal program called green book initiative, which was also known in a complicated way as the effective intervention in domestic violence and maltreatment cases, which really says that san francisco needed to come together with community partners, our public and private agencies, and understand the dynamics of how violence in the home impacted child abuse and impacts of violence on children. it was clear that we urgently needed to come together and try to collaborate inside our agency, outside our agency, and with our service providers. i am glad to say that in the 14 years, we have for the developed a great relationship with a lot of our partners so that we can collaborate on almost every case that comes up, especially those where there is police intervention. i think as we come to meetings and me quite a bit during the month, it

supervisor olague: thank you very much, yes. i wanted to thank mr. alvarez for being here, for listening to this, as we speak about creating healthy neighborhoods and healthy living places. i just want to thank you for being present and listening to the testimony. we will hear next from child crisis services. >> [inaudible] i am the director of comprehensive crisis services. >> i am the medical director of comprehensive child crisis services and foster care mental health. >> comprehensive price of services provide youth, adults, and care givers with crisis response services all over san francisco. we are comprised of three components. our first component is our child crisis unit, which is a 24-hour seven-days a week mobile crisis service which serves clients every year. our second team is our adult mobile crisis unit, which is a six-day-a-week unit with 60% of our clients having prior, exposure. our third team is our crisis response service, which is also a 24-hour seven-day week mobile response to scenes of homicides, suicides, stabbings, shootings,

supervisor delonte -- olague, you had a question. could be directed to -- you had the opportunity to meet. we started some of these conversations before the latest agreement when it was a far more aggressive project, i would argue. i do believe that -- there was an interesting point raised. how do we try to connect some of the tourist or visitors in what is going on in some of the districts? fillmore has revitalized the jazz district there and there is a lot of positive movement in that neighborhood. he worked with the brothers for change and the caterers. how do we make sure the small businesses also benefit from some of the hopefully, some of the potential we have that we achieved through the america's cup event. i am wondering how we can continue to make sure we make those connections. another gentleman raised the issue of youth and making sure they have some access to learning more about sailing, perhaps, and the sort of thing. earlier i introduced along with a couple of other supervisors in my work with the youth commission on r
