housing in our city. it's something that we are addressing but it doesn't happen over night and to me that is what the discussion has evolved into. to me what we are doing when you hear the public comment and i think some people make light of it, when we hear terms of princess of displacement and gentrification, to me that's not funny. that's disrespecting a dial that we are having here as the board of supervisors and what staff has worked on. as a legislator i don't appreciate that and i think it's disrespectful to what has happened here and to demonize workers in one industry and the technology industry, that's crazy, these are san franciscans. we want in tolerance, we need to bridge gaps in our city and creating further divide and distraction is not what i want to see. what we are having as a city talking about the taxing industry and these shuttles have come about because the people that live and work in san francisco. only 20 percent of them leave our city limits because there wasn't enough transport

i'm glad and on behalf of myself, we were able to represent our city and our department very well. lastly, i just -- the event was surprising. i think it was july 7th and it was a big deal, but it was one of those things where we didn't realize how critical this was going to be at the very first moment and i think when you make a big connection and you saw things on the tv and the first responders make a big connection when they see things on scene and when i saw the images and find out what was going on, it was tragic, but it was interesting to see what kind of happened because i was working from one second to the next and not thinking about what i was doing. but my training kicked in so i was thankful. i just wanted to say thank you very much for the award and i appreciate it. >> thank you. [ applause ]. >> thank you very much. >> thank you again. >> thank you. >> thank you, supervisor breed. >> so i have the honor of making the next presentation and i like to invite the university of women, catherine is president and roberta bird. you should have in front of you a payday bar and

within the unified school district have been implementing many approaches but wild to coordinate with our city. many don't have drinking foundation in a couple of middle schools they're drinking fountains were not working. so i think facilities maintenance is critical. and the city can work with the commissions to have a better access within the school district. a hearing i had last year with supervisor chiu and others helped to identify the parks and the lack of accessibility. we want to focus on schools and i want to acknowledge supervisor chiu's legislation about water waste. so thank you to my co-sponsors supervisor chiu and supervisor campos for helping to co-sponsor this hearing request as well. i'm sure you're aware of from our vision zero hearing this week there was a terrible collision that was harming a 3-year-old on a bicycle on fulton this with or week the child was hit crossing the street and is in critical condition i've reached out to the family. this follows a recent collision at the golden gate park senior center. i little on fulton street people speed at the 50 to 60 miles pe

those qualities have elevated our city, our state, our nation, our world.vilege at the boston athletic association to join you in paying tribute to those precious lives that were lost, while celebrating the countless lives that were saved. as we do, we are grateful for the strength a resilience of the victim's families, the survivors and their families. you have inspired us all. on that day a year ago, the very fabric of this community was tested to its core, and that community, our community, didn't just endure, it inspired. only here, only in boston would that combination of capability, and compassion, of professionalism, and poise, decades in the making, be there at the ready in our moment of need. the moment did not create the depth and breadth of that character, it revealed it for what it has always been, boston strong. we see boston strong in the remembrance of the four neighbors whom we lost last april, and the continuing inspiration they and their families bring us daily. we saw boston strong in the heroism of first responders who rushed into the he

that's not all we did we want to make sure our city is safer and in addition, we started a lifelines council one of the first in the country we'll dial and have meetings with our utility providers that lifeline has been critical because of their silos they have their approach to disaster that was never contemplated with our fire and police and public utilities commission by creating that lifeline council and having a dialog on each party to match how do you get the workforce back into the city to recovery kwiblg what were the proprietors to match up and we didn't have that ability until we created the lifeline council meeting. it's working well, it's just the beginning we have adapt sf another program that mayor bates has signaled the sea levels of are rising as we see it hit ocean beach we have a moofrt plan to respond rather than fight nature we have to understand it. adapt sf is getting all our departments whether the port or public works or all the other entities working together to we can look at the enter dependent agencies can understand their roles and therefore create project

our high pressured water system. i'm going to be on the west side of the city walker and educating people how we use our other infrastructuresve to pay attention to so later on when we ask for support of the water systems they can help. same thing i've worked with the chief to have additional classes and all the investor have a good result and a good discussion that that ann thank you and keep on educating us and training together and to all the departments thank you for your reaction to the event and thanks for being there for other events you'll be there for you. appreciate it (clapping.) thank you very much mr. mayor it's now my pleasure to ask the very best fire chief in our country chief joanne haynes-white to say a few words >> thank you and good afternoon, everyone thank you for coming out it's fitting that we're alm what happened one hundred and 8 years ago and that was the 1906 san francisco earthquake and the fires that raged for 3 days after that. as was mentioned earlier we were commemorating and celebrating and putting up the reminder with the community members to be prepared. the dp m before i said many times b

if one of you in the board of supervisors form our own company and we decide to make thousands of illegal stops in bus stops in the city, our business would last about a day. part of pro be would be me making that kind of decision. part of the problem is the enforcement arm of our city and do not let this argument persuade you because the enforcement arm of this city has failed to do it's job on this issue and given away public space for private use that somehow that changes the baseline that you should consider for whether and eir is required. that is on offensive argument and they should do this job and enforce this law rather than put it on you and accept their tolerance on our city. i would invite you to have coffee on my corner on steiner. we can watch the buses and see who is winning. i will buy the coffee and tell you that folks like myself are forced to walk around muni. the idea that this does not require environmental review. is laughable. i urge you to vote in favor of this appeal. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello, my name is melissa gordon. i urge the board of supervisors to conduct an eir. i

to mention that outreach is critical as well because oftentimes there are projects that happen in our city and then i get the complaints from my constitutes so we need to make sure i know we can do our very, very best to try to reach out to everyone implicated in the community we have to make sure we do our best he efforts when making changes to o a community we want to make changes for pedestrian safety as we increase the population of our city we're making it easy to walk and live here and easy to bike and drive here. and a big part of that making changes will impact that particular area and explaining to individuals you know why we're moving the parking in front of their street or cause champs with driveways in terms of deliveries. there are basic things if we're pro-active and explain it it would make all the difference so outreach is important and i want to thanks commander ali for his efforts. i've noticed only the enforcement efforts but a slight change in behavior of walkers and drivers being pilot enforcement is 0 important i'm looking forward to how we as a city can work together

we're a public safety solution when we've got kids active we're contributing to coping our city save we've got people in our recreational programming we're keeping our city healthy we're contributing to other essential serves that get loss in what people consider to be part of the recreation department. i think we're a good investment. and more investment in recreational programming can result in fewer back end dollars from our criminal justice system so more funds would be a good investment >> in terms of safety i know it's been an ongoing discussion around the advantageism we know there are public safety challenges and the park patrol there maybe if we're lucky we have three or four park officers on doubt at one time and when you look at other cities we're definitely low and it seems like the cities that have lower staffing are focused on one type of park or local law enforcement is actively involved in the parks. i think you saw and i told you i was going to do this i suggested to the mayor, we double the size of our park patrol which i think it is 2 and a half million dollars inve

trying to duplicate minnesota health centers it's a hard thing to do alone i want to actually all our city departments to realize we have a responsibility to the children of san francisco. we service the largest amount of children in san francisco. we're kenya aware of what they need they enter our schools everyday. if we're trying to do it alone without the support of city i want them it's impossible to close our racial achievement grandpa to get our children ready for college it's impossible we're 49th in the country we've got to be more cooperated we need to work in larger collaboration and that is a good way to do that. i want the city learned to be aligned with our children and children's needs. i want them to be concerned we're losing our a african-american population and we're concerned about losing them in the schools i want the city to be on the same track and be in cooperation when we talk about 9 - for all of san francisco children's to is a have a bigger agenda. so i guess i'm not so afraid of giving up governance what we've seen and heard doesn't say we give up combrns its nor

overview, as i said before, this has been one of the most successful renewable energy initiatives that our city has ever had. it was launched in the middle of 2008 as a 10-year solar rebate program, as a collaboration between our then mayor newsome, our then assessor recorder phil tackverctiontion, the san francisco public utilities commission, board of supervisors, as well as leader from our work force, [speaker not understood] and business community. ~ tang since 2008 this is a program that has helped more than 2,500 san francisco homeowners, businesses, nonprofits and tenants install solar panels. it has supported over 8 megawatts of solar, qua drewvling the number of solar rooftops in our city ~. it's created hundreds of jobs in companies, clean tech innovators that have chose tone headquarter in our city because of policy innovations like this program. one thing that was interested a few years ago, our then assessor phil tang showed this is a program that pays for itself. it increase he property values which lead to property revenues from our tax. this is a program that has created hundred
