donna salazar also manages the occ's outreach program and the occ's community outreach strategic plan is is the first of it's kind nationally. in the area of outreach, occ staff, investigators and attorneys and other staff participated in community presentations, distribution of brochures, by working with community groups on language access and juvenile protocol issues. engaging and training in providing presentations for the national association for the civilian law enforcement national training conference. started o cc online filing complaint project in 2012. and we anticipate the completion on the launch of our online complaint at the end of the second quarter. because our information technology is a one person unit, many things pushed deadlines out if the server goes down, individuals have issues with their excite -- computers or their laptops. that's what chris dos does in addition to maintaining the data base. the project that chris started in 2012 was to develop an auto prompt calendaring system. unlike the project where chris is working with an outside developer, the auto prom

again i would like to thank the office of small business for the outreach. when some of these neighborhoods see what the other neighborhoods are doing is catching on; i am excited that we have 17 neighborhoods here. we had a fundraising goal of 170,000 and a fundraising goal we met and raised 187,000. so thank you everybody who was involved in that. lots of phone calls. that is my president's report. we are on the buses now. the guides are in; we have guides in the office of small business; take them, stop buying and get them out to your neighborhoods. -- who is getting the word out, let small businesses know throughout the city. that's it. >> is the start at 10 o'clock? >> flavor starts at 5:30. >> also in your binder is a small list of honorees that we have so far along with the previous year honorees. >> are those coming from the supervisors' office. >> supervisors and the mayor. >> district 10 and 4, 6,1 are still not in yet. >> chair adams: next item. >> commissioners, number 11, vice president's report. >> nothing to report. >> 12, commissioner reports

we would be able to outreach to more communities.and in addition we would be going out and doing, going onto the supervisors' office and let them know. so they cannot reach to the communities as well. i would like to request the support for this ordinance and if you have any questions. >> chair adams: any commissioner questions? >> i'm curious last year how many people apply for this period? >> 10 fee waivers, four for sign permits, but we expect that we will get more with the more information, -- we do not have as much time this year to really outreach and the people know agree are hoping with the continuity of this fee waiver during small business month that people will in advance now that this is a process they have to go through and we'll get more applications this year. we were before the building inspection committee last week, and one of the supervisor suggested we had a contest so we are getting creative with getting out the information this year. >> chair adams: commissioner riley? >> commissioner riley: is there considerati

and that's what the whole hook is, getting out and doing the outreach to the kids. so, i mean, yes, prevention, that's the tack we took and it was a good deal because these guys, bill, this is not their main thing. the main thing is being a leader and presenting this message but at the end of our presentation to the fte, at the end of the semester when we complete something, they get a scholarship at the end. so that money goes back into the community. the kids spend it in school or out in the community so it just revolves. so it's a win-win for us. the money gets paid to these guys and they put it back in the community and when they walk around and some of the kids, all the kids are local, they will see the kids at burger king, hey, i saw you guys. so these guys are real in the community. >> it's also for us that a lot of these people here have done this many times. i know it's not for the money because it's not that much. they get about $350, something like that, we measure it by the hours they show up, if they did a rehearsal or a performance, obviously they're n

, merchant outreach, and visitor information. also allocating for an officer program to support public safety initiatives in the district and also dispatch services would continue to provide service requests line for the community. the budget as mentioned would allocate -- would also allot for economic development program support in the areas of business attraction and business retention. as well as management services, and the management of the district, day-to-day operations, advocacy and fundraising for the district. the budget also calls for support under marketing and promotion and identity of the district through district marketing, branding and promotion of merchants and businesss in the area. just as we conducted a community outreach process to determine these proposed boundaries and services, there is also a formal legal process, which we adhere to as part of the proposed renewal expansion of the cbd. one of these critical steps we recently completed, which we started in march of this year is property owner petition proc

our outreach to students and to families who are gender variant or who are transgendered. includes [inaudible] also as well as on the high school level we've done some explicit outreach and our youth outreach workers have presented ed peer presentations reaching [inaudible] so it'll come in the last day. and some of the names of the outreaches were clear, the love fest, lgbtq and our sexual health fairs. thanks. >> thank you very much. supervisor yee. >> so in asking the questions earlier in terms of the facts and whether they were targeting or not and in real life that this high percentage of transgender students that have contemplated suicide, it's probably due more to this teasing and this verbal things that go on in the school setting an outside the school setting rather juan somebody actually being attacked. >> i think there's a couple of things for us to consider when we look at our students in school who are coming to an awareness that their gender doesn't match stereo typical norms. they are teased as a rule, they are bullied as a result and oftentimes they aren't

pretty much the only outreach that you could have done in that area. >> right. that's all i have. >> so question. so live music and dj's so you're doing all your own programming? are you going to rent the club to people that have dj's that want to use your space? >> no. i didn't plan on renting the club. there a dj they used and jimmy hits and does a good job. keeps the kids happy. there is event on state college and the kids come every thursday. >> and you feel comfortable with one security guard. >> no, i don't. >> so you're going to -- >> two. i want one inside. i was there and the previous owner was running it and you need somebody inside. >> okay. >> if i might also add this is taravaland what is the cross street. >> 34th. >> they're in a neighborhood commercial corridor. this has been a bar for a long, long, long time, and just for context i think what you will see is improvements being made here opposed to anything substantially changing in a negative way. this is an improvement. >>i understand. sometimes new owners -- you know, they miss a few steps so i

the challenges of the outreach and i appreciate rec and parks outreach around the park. this is important that we accept the recommendation to keep future recommendations with the board of supervisors. we have to do diligent work. >> nick before you speak real quick we have another comment. >> thank you legislative aid i'll be brief. just to echo what the supervisor said supervisor reed is very supportive and believes this amendment is a collaborative approach and we support the recommendationss of the trial period >> okay. thank you. we have a gentleman here from recreation and park >> this is an amendment to the at least for the park side bicycle rental for all of our parks in san francisco for a little bit of background park wide has been operating in a number of our park. currently golden gate park and the plazas a. it offers, you know, we think not only an amenity to city visitor who are looking for an additional mode of transportations but might not own their own bicycle. we've seen steady growth in each of those locations with the expectation that tuesdays through

for owad we'll be getting an ongoing our outreach. we're focusing on leveraging our team and reaching out to our partners and the trade group and san francisco of chamber and to small business network to make sure they're reaching out. we remain focused on keeping the employers engaged and keeping the volume up and keeping participating and supervisor, we'll give you a list of those who have committed so far. okay. >> commissioner mendosa. thank you mr. ruffo. i'm really glad we got this presentation. it's great to hear about the successes of last year as well because putting on such an ambitious pilot program, i'm sure many folks had their doubts if we can hit the numbers we had said we would hit. beginning to know we surpassed that number and that both of private and the public sector came together to participate to make this reality is incredibly important and i know the youth commission said employer, youth employment is one of their top priorities and it's what they hear from young people. it's great that we've had a success prog

of doing that to make sure it's not a matter of outreach. thank you. >> you are welcome. >> just to echo kingsley's comments. were you here? i remember all i can do was hang my head in shame as it was read before us and they hand us this document and said we have to bring somebody in here to do something about this. so i guess i was the only one in there when i was interviewed, right? i was the only one. you used the right word, systematically moved on with your own recommendation and added some of your own and you kept your eyes on the prize and kept moving the bar up. it's better than it going up. >> vice-president marshall, i thank you very much and if things were perfect, there would be nothing to aspire to, so we always want to have something to aspire to and i want to make the record very clear, i was not here when the controllers audit was released and when i was nominated by the police commission and appointed by the mayor. one of the things that the mayor said to me is, okay, this is your challenge. i want you to make the changes th

pool matches. s environment received a grant from the air district and the transportation to do outreach and education on this tool. and really to support safe routes and encourage parenting to form walking school buses or bike trains. so our grant cover two years and we just are finishing up our second year. outreach was provided to an a total of 44 schools. and between the first -- for the first year for the 22 schools, we he saw increases in commuting, so from fall 2011 to spring 2012 we saw an increase by 1.5 percent with carpool, point 3 for .3 for biking, transit went up by 5 percent and the vehicle went down by 1 percent. overall the registrations are growing up, there's 535 currently. and as more outreach is done, it will go up, so other parents can find other parents to pool it. next we're we're planning to keep up the momentum with fsud public elementary schools who are going to expand to the public charter schools and also catholic schools suppose adviser avalos supports us last spring. some are overlap with safe routes and we also picked a number of schools with high driving

and providing important educational programss for youth and outreach to visitors. also importantly paying for an 11th gardener each year at the gardens to help us maintain it in world-class condition. and then providing critical curatorial and plant collection development support to assist the department in keeping that living museum thriving. most recently, the botanical garden support has included developing plans and beginning capital development program to build a new nursery at the site, which will be a shared-use nursery and will help us, again, keep that world-class living museum thriving for generations to come. that is approximately a $12 million capital campaign that the botanical garden society is completing and if all goes well with that, they are hoping to or we are hoping to begin construction on nursery in january of 2014. and the commission did approve those plans and the board of supervisors has approved the plans and gifts and we're waiting to finish up the capital campaign and break ground out there early next year. since 2002, the botanical gard

we continue to say that the one thing we want from any license application is community outreach. what i have seen here is probably the best community outreach that i've seen since we've been having these hearings. i personally would be ready to support granting the license today, but given that we don't have the conditions right now, and i know that the district supervisor wants to be a part of that discussion, i think supervisor yee's recommendation makes sense so we can vote it at the board of supervisor. and my hope would be that between now and the time it gets to the full board, that there will be an opportunity for the police department, the applicant and the district supervisor to work out a set of conditions that makes sense. and i haven't been to cafe royal, but i certainly plan to be there. so with that, if we can take that motion without objection. thank you very much. and colleagues, i'd like to move on to item number 3. i know that a number of people have to leave so if we can take item number three out of order. >> thank you mr. chair. also quick correction. the ite

we fund and staff all of the botanical garden's education and community outreach activities. these are with privately raised spend more than $730,000 a year in direct expenditures for this purpose. these programs include our youth education program, in which we serve 10,000 children a year, most from san francisco public schools. our library, which is northern california's most comprehensive horticultural library. our volunteer and our docent program, our free guided walks for visitors, our community events and classes, our programs for families with young children. just quickly, in addition, we also fund $400,000 a year for curatorial work and voluntary contributions to the city to support the hiring of an 11th gardener. lease and management agreement is important because it sets the framework for how the botanical garden society and the rec and park department will continue to work together for years to come. i urge your support thank you very much. >> thank you very much. >> and don, our board chair sends his apologies. he was here at start of the meeting, but he had to ge

again, thank you supervisor chiu's office for its outreach and all of that to the community. bye, thank you. >> thank you very much, any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. supervisor chiu, any closing comments? >> as we all know the story of this portion of broadway, while it's a short stretch has involved a fairly long and windy road and i really want to thank everyone's patience and persistence during that time. we all know it wasn't too long ago our various community stakeholders couldn't come together to agree on where we are today and the fact of the matter our club owners, our restaurateurs, our business owners and in particular law enforcement, everybody is final loin the on the same page and i want to thank catherine, who has worked tirelessly in recent years to make this happen as well in my late 20z almost every weekend i would go to north beach and broadway and it was too long a time to convince my friends from around the city to come on weekend nights to broadway and it's my hope as we allude to super

i find the outreach is substantial. the mta is on top of it. we as a city are on top of it, and i think to ask everyone to bend to the will of a few is not the right way to go with this. >> thank you commissioner hyde. anybody else? >> i have a question on the first item, the sentence that sfpd is encouraged to work with the neighborhood steering committee for request of curfew extension. what does that mean? it seems vague. what if there is squawking then and what happens to the extensions? >> commissioner, the request initially in the letter was for the commission to consider a condition of the permit to require the permittee to work with the sfpd and the neighborhood steering committee to allow extensions. however, the commission can't desolve that type of responsibility to a neighborhood group, so therefore it had to translate into the commission directing the applicant to work with another city department and then encouraging that city department to work with the neighborhood groups. however, it's vague because there isn't a standard per s

when no outreach was done to the business corridor where these boxes were directly impacted. please support our request to move the box. thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good evening, board members, my name is olivia sing, i'm a long-time resident of the central sunset living not far from 22nd and irving. i have observed since this box was put up one of the issues that hasn't been brought up yet is the fact that it is the main route for the 71 bus going inbound downtown, quite often the bus stops there, double parked next to cars and the congestion is already quite significant even before this box was built. now that it is there, i have noticed great difficulty of people on the passenger side of the cars that park at the parking spots next to it trying to get out and again it's a neighborhood that is very diverse. we have lots of families with young children. i observed the other day a young woman trying to get the stroller out of the backseat of the car and set it up and then put the young toddler in it and it was extremely awkward for her at that particular parking sp

once added to the work program the department engaged in an outreach process. beginning with a kickoff neighborhood history walking tour which was attended by dozens neighbors. it included community meetings, workshops and focus on the proposed district and also included three events that specifically focused on the future review of alterations to billions -- buildings in the district. >> one goal of this outreach was to gain a better understanding of the community's perspective regarding prioritization and review of the character defining features to address these perspectives. discussions with stake holders led to a review process with certain scopes assigned levels of review from no change in the current review process, administrative staff level overview and review at an hpc hearing. key issues raised by the community include reducing or eliminating different scopes of work, reduce and review alterations at the rear building, increasing access to property tax savings by the mills program. i will outline the department's outlines to these issues. neighborhoo

and the third one dealt with outreach. because i think the v.a. healthcare system is a strong system, but it doesn't mean anything to you if you don't know how to enroll in the system. and i think historically the v.a. bureaucracy has not done a good job in outreach, telling you, ok, you served, this is what you are entitled to. this is your system. you're a taxpayer. you're a veteran. we want you in the system. not everybody, in fact, will want to come to the v.a. healthcare system, but i suspect there are a lot of folks who don't even know what they're entitled to. for example, we have 900 -- v.a. has 900 community-based outreach plants all over the country, and this is important stuff. we deal very poorly with primary healthcare. what the v.a. decided many decades ago, correctly, is that you have to bring primary healthcare to the veterans. one of these clinics, we have hundred of vet centers, where they primarily run by veterans themselves, people are veterans. they could play a good role in suicide prevention, and a variety of other psycholog

i think you are doing a great outreach to the community. obviously part of my concern that talk about over the last few weeks is in light of recent events in the city. the concern is that women who don't speak english or are living in poverty will have concerns about reaching out of the police department. we want to reassure and reach out. can you talk about your efforts to reach out to communities through various newspapers in different languages and how the department is getting the message out that we do have access to other languages and can serve diverse populations? >> anytime there is a community meeting, and it is based on a certain ethnicity group, we try to have interpretation service provided. we will post those signs in that language, so if it is held in chinatown or wherever, for that outreach. it is important when the victim makes the police report; it helps if a native speaker is there, eases some of the angst the victim may have when reporting a crime. in terms of outreaching and publications, i don't know everything that we

we did significantly a higher level of outreach than we do in a normal construction project. and because of many people in the local community really work hard to get this project to where it is, and advocate for it at the state and federal level. it was important for us to try to maximize the extent that we could given the constraints of the law; as i mentioned, you even heard references, outreach going back five years to the contracting community. we required the bidders for this contract to come to meet and greet sessions with the contractors. we have a number of different forms and try to share all of the perspective bidding information so the program was funding positions in our sbe office and also in the office of economic and workforce development try to make sure we are maximizing opportunities. it is disappointing that despite what i believe was a legitimate, above and beyond effort in this case with regard to local, small and minority-owned businesses we are not where we would like to be but the contractor has fairly significantly exceeded the sbe goal, which is the

we go to outreaches. we testify at city hall. you've probably seen her here before and at sacramento, and as well m. alicia duke has a very analytical mind and we often rely on her for [speaker s whether or not we like it she'll tell us, there's a misspelling here. she's experienced in the nonprofit and community organizations and i would highly recommend her for this. this is critical for stabilizing the area that's being impacted. low-income seniors, people with disabilities are being put out -- they're being moved out of soma for economic reasons. and, so, it's very important to have somebody from this community, from this constituency who knows exactly who is on the ground, in communication with everyone there. strongly support m. alicia duke. thank you very much. ~ sam alicia duke. >> thank you. >>> again, good afternoon, supervisors. i'm here for the real reason to support sam duke. now, james only mentioned about her association with senior and disability action. my background with her goes way back -- i mean, way back to

because i think it's in incumbent upon your office to do this outreach. >> that is a great idea and in our discussion with our supervisors make sure they get out to the community. >> give our best to your new supervisor. >> anymore questions? >> seeing none. thank you. >> any public comment on item six. seeing none , we move to make a motion to approve. commission seconded it. is there a roll call vote on this item. president mccarthy, aye, mar, yes, clinch, yes, mccray, yes, melgar, yes. the item is approved unanimously. now we need to vote to move item 13 on the agenda. >> if there is no objection, i would like to move item 13. >> second. all all the commissioners in favor? >> ayes. >> any opposed. there is none opposed. pursuant to government code section. in the san francisco administrative code, 67.did 2 item a is there any public comment on all matters pertaining to closed session? seeing none. there is nothing possible to close to convene section. >> i move to closed section. >> second. >> all commissioners in favor. any opposed we are now in closed session. it ready to rec >> n
