[applause] >> you're going to hear from ray guzman of local 104, and he is a living testament to the success of the partnership between the academy and the union apprenticeships. it's no surprise to us that he is so successful. it is by design, and with every job that he is dispatched to, opportunity is available to the next generation. in fact, for every three journey men working, one apprentice will see work. we bring in many citybuild grads to have as many opportunities as possible, one of the best being stacey provist. we appreciate mayor breed's and president walton's support for the president biden and vice president harris' infrastructure funding because it will get us more work and bring more members to our unions. we appreciate the contractors that make project labor agreements work for our communities. the trades stand for qua

to helping make sure these venues are around, to continue to be part of the economic recovery for our cityu think about the venues for events in the city, we're talking about all of them. some have been able to come back adaptively over the last year and have been able to be shape shifters in this pandemic, and that's exciting to see, but i'm really looking forward to the day when events and venues can reopen and help drive the recovery here in san francisco. >> they have done a study that says for every dollar of ticket sales done in this city, $12 goes to neighboring businesses. from all of our vendors to the restaurants that are next to our ven sues and just so many other things that you can think of, all of which have been so negatively affected by covid. for this industry to fail is unthinkable on so many levels. it's unheard of, like, san francisco without its music scene would be a terribly dismal place. >> i don't know that this needs to be arrest -- that there needs to be art welfare for artists. we just need to live and pay for our food, and things will take care of themselves. i

we need all our city leaders to champion the major funding muni will need. we invite you to keep setting an example. keep logging your rides at ridecontest.org all month long and tweeting your experience. and, our city leaders need all of us as riders and as voters to keep speaking up and showing up to build the future of muni that we need. thank you again for showing up and speaking up today and every day for the future of transit in san francisco. and now, zack will introduce our next speaker. >> thank you so much, cat. we're going to hear from some of our courageous supervisors who road transit today starting with supervisor mar. >> supervisor mar: good morning, transit riders. it's so great to be here with all of and my colleagues. i'm showing our collective love for transit this morning and happy transit month. i rode in this morning on the n-juda and the ride seemed a little bit smoother with fewer delays and quicker than before. so that was great to see and i believe director tumlin and m.t.a. actually have some data to back that up. so, that's been r

city college. other initiatives. we've announced partnership through our office as techsf is highlighted with our city college. through the college's computer networking and information tech nothing as well as cyber security and we're even just excited about a new grant from our office and partnership with the port to invest in the construction administration certificate that city college has developed which is a new grant to our office. so so many things to be excited about and with respect to recommendations, i want to make sure we're available throughout the hearing. i just wanted to maybe summarize some of the swonss that you see here with respect to a couple things. as city departments convened by our office in partnership with the human rights commission to really do as best we can to coordinate all the city's investments in workforce development. our most recent reports for fiscal year 2019-2020 found it often happens when policy makers, the public will see our office as workforce development in the name of our office, but in '19 and '20 fiscal year, it totalled $170 million. so we're always coordinated

our neighbors. that's what this city is about. the same thing happened when the pandemic first hit our city. we all came together like never before and yes, we are one of the densest cities in the country, which is why creating spaces like this are so important, but we also saw despite a global pandemic, we saw one of the lowest death rates anywhere in the country and seeing the highest vaccination rates anywhere in the country. so -- (applause) we should be proud. but i'm not surprised. it's what we do best. when an opportunity presents itself, we don't see just a problem. we see a solution. jury commons is a solution for the community. it created an old rail yard, a place that this community knew about for many, many years and used for many, many years but had a vision to make it into something that can be extraordinary and that's what you created. all the greenery, all the plants, all the play structures and yes, the advocacy it took to get it done. reaching out to apply for fund ing with the city. you know how difficult the city can be and how difficult it can be to get funding from the c

it's also representation of our city coming together but not only on the bureaucratic side of things. neighbors helped this happen. we are thrilled that today we are seeing the fruition of all that work in this city's open space. >> when we got involved with this park there was a broken swing set and half of -- for me, one thing i really like to point out to other groups is that when you are competing for funding in a hole on the ground, you need to articulate what you need for your park. i always point as this sight as a model for other communities. >> i hope we continue to work on the other empty pits that are here. there are still a lot of areas that need help at maclaren park. we hope grants and money will be available to continue to improve this park to make it shine. it's a really hidden jewel. a lot of people don't know it's here. . >> chairman: good morning and welcome to the rules committee of the san francisco board of supervisors for today, september 20th, 2021. i am the chair of the committee, aaron peskin joined by vice chair rafael mandelman and connie chan.

offers the super green 100% clean energy, not only for commercial entities like ours, but also for residents of the cityn francisco. we were pleased with the package of services they offered and we're now encouraging our employees who have residence in san francisco to sign on as well. we didn't have any interruption of service or any problems with the switch over to cleanpowersf. this clean power opportunity reflects that. i would encourage any large business in san francisco to seriously consider converting and upgrading to the cleanpowersf service. it's good for the environment, it's good for business and it's good for the community.

neighborhoods, we help city staff to collect where our responses are falling short of community needs. we also did interviews for city staff together to gather the individual perspectives on when the gaps may be in our services and processes. in addition to the information that the city provide, we conducted interviews and panel discussions with community organizations and residents, just around their experiences accessing city-funded violence prevention and services. and last month we followed up on this to discuss what potential elements will be for broader citywide violence prevention work. in our findings, hundreds of programs, as i'm sure you know, are funded and delivered across the city. but they have very different frameworks for understanding and addressing hate violence. the departments gave us these lists of several hundred programs that they deliver either directly or through funds from community organizations. but across, and sometimes even within departments, many programs had overlapping or intersecting purposes, and there weren't any established venues for depart

and let's do it in a way that makes sense for our city. what we've seen in our city that works. the best is when we collaborate and work. where it's an an, not an oar. and we see it over and over again and look there. i say that with the caveat there things that we don't. need to have our hands in but can can we or should we be there as a supporting agency when those folks who do have their hands in this work need us? absolutely. and that's what we're perfectly willing to do. and i think you make a great point that. for too many people with its are or and it doesn't need to be in or we need to work together on these issues because we are a society that really dr when we collaborate. that narrative that defunds responsible for any of this is absurd. defund hasn't happened. no money has been taken away from opd whatsoever. still to come. the city of oakland grapples with an uptick in violent crime. but there's disagreement about whether to fund more officers or violence prevention measures after the break more on the decisions the council made about public safety. content. amid a
