we invite all of our other funders and friends throughout the city to explore the report findings out today and invest in the recommendations and join us. now i'd like to introduce two people that are working every day to improve the health outcomes of our neighbors. please join me in welcoming dr. anton nigusse bland, who is the director of mental health reform and dr. grant colfax, the director of public health. >> thank you, mayor breed, for leading the way. if we're going to reform our system of care for the nearly 4,000 san franciscans who are most in need, everyone will have to work together. that's why it's so important to be standing here with our partners at tipping point and ucsf talking about these common goals that we share and advancing our shared vision. i want that briefly highlight a couple of findings in this report that reinforce our own. first, behavioural health outcomes are health outcomes and they are far worse for people of color. this report points out that black men die as almost twice the rate of white men of liver cirrohsis even though they have lower rates

i thank the city of san francisco. i remember our first conversation and thanks for the city to having faith in two crazy filipinos with big ideas. it is what happens when we invest in big thanking for the communities. thank you to the team. it is a team sport to make miracles happen every month. thank you to all of the activists and nonprofits that made it possible for us to be here and for trusting us with representing them with such a very important event for our cultural district. >> thank you, supervisors. it is very important we get this now because, as you know, working in community development representing people is not easy. when you work in economic development, you are going to be making things that are going to make communities uneasy, and the programs we develop are very innovative and make people feel very uncomfortable. it is ironic you give us this award now. in a few hours we have to go in front of the community and justify andy fend our approach to economic development. it takes many hands and minds and hearts to mo

a few weeks later when scooters were dumped on our sidewalks everyone understood. the city and our residents demanded action in order to control what was taking place on our streets. monthly, we read about private data being hacked and millions of people's identity being identified. it's workforce as employees in order to be fairly compensated and in hong kong, we're seeing we are seeing technology and in china technological-based social credit systems are rolled out that could reward people and punish people according to their stores. to address this by being reactive and legislating other technology or devices already launched is not good governance. we need to be as innovative in our policies as emerging tech and it's in adopting and launching products. today san francisco is the first in the world as far as i know that will establish an office of emerging technology. the o.e.t. as i call it will allow the city and the public to effectively evaluate any emerging technology benefits and impacts before they operate on our public infrastructure. i support innovation and tec

and really for everyone in our city. uesf has been a tremendous voice , an important voice on so many important issues that our city is seeing. thank you so much. happy 100 year. >> supervisor haney? >> i want to congratulate you all to thank you all for your leadership and your many, many years of service. i learned a lot about you as a school board member. i have not seen it happen here yet, and i don't want to give anybody ideas, the my first year when we are going through the contact negotiations and we come in and dennis and susan and karen, they are sitting in our chairs and they have all these folks who are banging the drums and just incredible, relentless, fierce leadership on behalf of your members and always keeping the students top of mind. it has been such a pleasure to work with each of you to continue to work with each of you and not just making our city one where teachers can live and thrive and do their essential work, but making our city better for everyone. i want to appreciate you for stepping up for s

so i welcome you to our incredible city. forward to all that i know you will do to not only showcase what our military has to offer and what you continue to do to defend our country, but more importantly the work that you are doing in san francisco to give back, whether it's working with our high schools or non-profit organizations, serving meals to our seniors. so many things that fleet week has planned in store for this week is all about giving back. but i also want you to know how much we appreciate your sacrifice and the work that you do to protect our country. this week is really about celebrating everything that you have done to put your lives on the line to protect each and every one of us. we also take this as an opportunity to think about disaster preparedness. because we know it's not a matter of when a disaster strikes, it's not a matter of if a disaster is going to strike, it's a matter of when. when it happens, not only do we need to go into action with our local officials. we need our state and federal official

population of veterans in san francisco that have not only sacrificed to protect our country and our city and our way of life and have not only sacrificed so much, but they're a significant portion of the silent majority of the community. there are 27,000 veterans in san francisco. their family, friends, and co-workers bring that number up to over 100,000. two thirds of these veterans feel the public doesn't understand the sacrifice they made and 80% feel the public doesn't understand the problems that they face. so we ask for your support of veterans being our neighbors, the services that are available to these veterans, and greater awareness that the city is there to help fill the gap for the services that our federal government either can't or won't provide. thank you. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. steve martin pinto, veteran affairs commissioner. i'm also a 16-year member of the marine corps. i am a veteran of iraq and afghanistan. also native san franciscan. born and raised here, and i work for fire department chinatown. speaking for my job, the fire d

this is the time to reimagine our boulevard but also the time to put our city on the path of prioritizing people over cars. i get asked what will it take to achieve vision zero. what will it take to hit our gomes. how do we get people out of their cars and i've asked of this board bold action, time and time again, and today we're looking at bold action. better market street is how we get to zero. let's get cars off this year and get these bike lanes built and if we don't we're not going to reach our goals. we're behind and this is the type of project we need. >> thank you, very much. >> next speaker, please. >> daren fuel, tom, shannon dodge, two mark, ben chambers, shirley johnson. >> hi, good afternoon. my name is daren null. i'm here today to urge that this body not only approve better market street but implement it as soon as possible. taking cars off market clearly going to save lives. i've been out flyering to the public to notify people about this historic opportunity and ace talked to people about cars restrictions on market street. the only thing i heard was, it's about time. i h

this team of survivors here, now , 24 hours a day, but we wouldn't be here without our city partners. team at the department on the status of women are such great leaders. they support 24 hours a day these agencies. they help us make sure that our staff are right and help us tell the story. they help us connect with city hall every day. they help us connect with the commission on the status of women. none of us would be here without our city partners. we wouldn't be here without the mayor's office, we wouldn't be here without mayor breed, and we wouldn't be here without the board of supervisors. the board of supervisors works with us every year to make sure that we have the resources we need to meet new communities where they are, to support our immigrant brothers and sisters, our transgender brother and sisters, our native american brothers and sisters. absolutely. as mayor breed said, we have a lot to do. we have more to do, and we are going to need more resources, but i know they will be there when we need them. there are heroes. when we look at our native sisters working to end do

i am calling a hearing on the city's wildfire prevention and management plans because some of our open space that is heavily forested are home to brush and to other vegetation is owned or operated by other city departments. i'm asking for the p.u.c., rec and park, public works and the park -- the san francisco fire department to present and also inviting the procedural trust and u.s. -- ucsf to provide us with their prevention and management plan so that we as a city have a thorough understanding about where our efforts and resources are being deployed and why as well as any gaps in coverage that we should address for the short and long-term. i want to thank supervisors stefani and mar for their early support with this hearing, and the other item i'd like to introduce is an in memoriam. -- and also my wife and my daughter with modern dancing. it's another world all yours, and no one can take away the throe of it. when she established the dance group in 1976, a dance studio on monterey boulevard. she started dance at an early age, taking dance as a therapy to combat a club foot she was

and so the pension obligations our city is around 76 percent. because we have m a surplus in the city now we are convinced one - - committedio to investing in addition to that. so there are some things that are as soon as possible but that's what we will keep an eye on. >> i think when the number of police officers at the local level were laid off at three or 4000 and i stopped counting. .nd firefighters were a similar way. i believe our roads are ranked h or 50th in the country. and again the cutting happens and happens until it gets to a point where the state government particularly the federal government can make practical decisions round budgeting for the good of the communities and the states. we will be in trouble. we had a campaign for michigan to get a true partnership at the local and state level to help us. it's not a tax issue but there are so many different things happening in government how you collect taxesng to how you can spend dollars or work communities in your region. you name it which could do a lot to go a long way when it co

in bellflower, which ever side of the philosophical spectrum you fall on, our city and electorate have decided to tax cannabis and ourty has allowed by the city of california through prop 64 so we are a city that has embraced that and we feel that we've placed enough control measures in place to sure that this isn't something that afgoskts our general population. but in term of the revenue side, that's something that we as a city have embraced to be able to mitigate those negative economic indicators that we're seeing. at the same time, we're, you have that inverted yield curve that hped th ehappened this yeau have the state fiscal health index that we've been tracking in california, we started seeing that the negative downward trend early this summer and it's been trending downward for the last five months, so xwen r for california to be experiencing that we're expect iing that it' an indicator of not only what california is going to experience going forward, but also as well as as a country as well. so we're very aware, very concerneded. on of. on top of that, we have cost increases.

city bill academy. which is incredible in providing the opportunities and workforce development. we want to share our deepest condolences to his loved ones, his friends and entire city build family. his memory and regularly lives on through his students, past and present. as city bill academy, the rest i submit. >> clerk: thank you, mr. president, supervisor brown. >> colleagues, as many of you new, governor kne gov will sign. rent app and eviction legislation puts in place some of the strongest renter protections in the nation. while many san francisco owe tenants are protected by our rent control ordinance, those living in buildings constructed between 1979 and 2004 do not benefit from those same protections. including potential outrageous and predatory rent increases and unjust evictions. with ab-1482 becoming the law of the land today, i'm looking forward how to implement it in san francisco. i am interested in seeing to what degree the rent board can help and implementing this new law and i am working with the city attorney and rent board on legislation to implement 1482 in san francisco. and i

now that extends to cleaning up our city buildings as well. thank you, mohamed. en we talked about the services here, again city hall is very special and unique to all of us because of its historic nature but also because it is an essential place people go when they want to access government and the people who represent them. it's important to make sure that these doors are open and accessible to everyone who comes in. i think there's no other patron group that feels that same way than our public libraries. we know that no matter which branch library it is that we go to across the city, we have an open door where people can find a safe space and learn and get educated and borrow materials and really explore. we have worked in great partnership with our city librarian michael lambert who is also working with us. you might seen behind me is a wall of 15 different curated historic photos. one of the things you may not know is in order for this to be accomplished, we had to clear out many of our old property files. we went through this intensive process to digitize ov

revenue growth and fy 18 through the smaller midsize cities but in the on the spending side clearly our cities saw this rise and that is to be did to the general factors putting budget pressures on other cities including pension, healthcare, wages and other sources but as well [inaudible] >> yes, i think it's a really important chart to show for municipalities to compare themselves with other municipalities i've been associated with the fiscal condition survey since 1991 and we always get the question about can you compare the city to that city and primarily the answer is it depends. some cities don't have access through the same general taxing authority as other cities. for example, very municipalities that have access to all three and considered to be the broad-based general tax on retail, sales or income and wages and on real estate. you -- you will hear from one of them today after we are finished and it's the city of new york and a city that has such a large general fund and i think i was told it was $93 billion that and the rest of our analysis because it would overwhelm the data. that s

the impact of t.n.c.s that has distributed to an increase of the impact of vehicles traveled in our city. also we know our population is aging, and in the same collisions older adults are more vulnerable to more serious injury. there is also increasing homelessness in our city. we know that the amount of time you spend on the streets is your exposure to traffic. if you don't have shelter, you're on the street all the time increasing the odds of injury related to traffic. so given this information, we feel strongly we need some new tools to drive numbers down, as was presented already. we're putting our emphasis behind automated enforcement, urban speed limit setting that will bring down those speeds. local regulation of these vehicles as well. that concludes my presentation. is there any questions? >> seeing no questions, your presentation was very thorough. thank you. any public comments? jody, i think you have a card. come on up. >> thank you for this opportunity and getting accurate numbers on this. what walk san francisco finds alarming is the numbers are on the rise and they are inc
