[cheers and applause] and our 100% renewable energy program, clean power s.f., has produced and resultednhouse gas reductions, equivalent to taking 17,000 cars off our roads. by the year 2030, we are committing to for major initiatives in san francisco. cutting our landfill waste in half. decarbonization all new buildings, achieving 100% renewable energy and continuing to issue more green bonds to finance critical infrastructure that is desperately needed to combat climate change. today, thank you. [applause] >> mayor breed: today i ask you to join us. the impacts of climate change are not constrained by borders. our actions shouldn't be either. let's send the world a bold message of action, unity and determination. together we can go further to protect our planet and our people for generations to come. thank you all so much for being here and enjoy your time in san francisco. [cheers and applause] . >> the san francisco carbon fund was started in 2009. it's basically legislation that was passed by the board of supervisors and the mayor's office for the city of san francisco. they passed

s.f. as the risk in r.a.d. has diminished. we had $20 million that we were intending to put into sunnyvale and potrero, emergency rehab needs for the board process authorization in 2016, and now we have this situation. so, in answer to your second question, we did not know -- we did not know the magnitude of the financial crisis. in march and april when the original shortfall noticing happened, h.u.d. staff were literally sitting side-by-side with housing authority staff, going through, line by line, the budget. the budgeting is extremely he so tarik. a normal accountant or finance person cannot sit down and look at the voucher management system entries and look at this two-year utilization tool and say, i see the errors. it takes a very specialized knowledge base. so we weren't rat liens on the fact that h.u.d. was sitting with the housing authority and saying, you know, we urge you to continue issuing vouchers. >> i am with you on that -- that is why there is nine out of 11 agencies in the bay area that have a shortfall. we

i think where we need to focus is on how the transition process of s.f. ha to the city will work i would like to have some oversight over that and i would like to continue this item to the call of the chair so that perhaps at our next visit, we can talk about what the plans are and make sure that they are actually going to work and so this continuing trouble department will not remain troubled when it becomes a closer part of the city. i do totally acknowledge and appreciate the r.a.d. program has been, despite this great risk and challenges, a remarkable success. an increase in the amount of vouchers that we all support. we have to live with inapt -- within our means. when we are having conversations at the board of supervisors about minimum compensation ordinance and all of the analyst competing priorities, we have to know when we are getting an unexpected cash call. with that, thank you, colleagues for your indulgence and support. >> i want to thank vice chair peskin for calling for the hearing. i think, as you have seen in the number of cosponsors, it de

. >> i would also get -- data s.f. has been very helpful to us in a lot of ways. but not in this particular arena but they are definitely a group that should be looked at as well to help. >> if i could follow up on your excellent point. i was wondering if we could bring the interim director back up. thank you. >> i know you are taking on a new role very recently. but when i -- dealing with the same frustration as supervisors, we asked jeff kaczynski about the issue of mentally ill and trying to figure out how to solve it. he tells me that is not his job and that is the job of the department of public health. when i have gone to you and the former director and asked about it, she says she doesn't have access to beds. that the department of public health used to have access to hundreds of beds and that you had discretion to work with about where to send people based on the type of illness that they are facing. and that when the department of homelessness and supportive housing was created, all of those beds were taking out of your control. so the right hand is not t

but it has taken the no new s.f. jail coalition. we have moved mountains to get to this point.een fighting the jail project construction since 2013. we had a victory in 2013 and we are starting to see the fruits. it will take some time. just to put things into broader context, what we are opposing and what we are up against is over 50 years of policies that have criminalized a wide range of practices, behaviours and that are very much based on racism and racial discrimination we talked about san francisco where you heard the gross disproportion of how black people are overrepresented in jails. but the way that we got here was to cut social services and to actually bolster policing. i think it's great what we are hearing here and your commitments to housing and junk -- and healthcare. that stands in contradiction to hiring more police officers. we have to reverse this fifty-year long process that brought us to the point where we lock up more people than any other country at a higher rate in the world. it starts with divesting from the systems of policing and imprisonment. >> i w

s.f. glove --, gov, please. the bay area has an increase in modern rent. given the neighborhood sponsors with more than 30% of the decrease in the number of low income african-americans, latinos and asians living there. researchers found that the statement -- >> supervisor cohen: thank you mr daltrey? >> do we have two minutes or three minutes? >> supervisor cohen: you have two minutes. >> thank you. it says in the agenda we have three. ok. my name is anubis. good evening to madam president and the fellow board of supervisors. i am a san francisco native and i was homeless for six years on the streets of san francisco in the city that i grew up in. i have come here today for the general public comment to talk about homelessness and the attitude that the city seems to have taken towards the homeless population. more than ever, we see that the city is trying to house homeless people but on the same token, it punishes and it criminalizes the homeless population for simply sleeping on the street. i am a person of reason. i understand that people and your const

s.f. p.u.c. is the fifth lowest at 42 gallons per head. that has -- that is half the state average. san diego county has been mentioned as places we should try to emulate. anaheim use a hundred and 84 gallons per capita. the santa fe district of california uses 559 gallons per capita. the goal should not be to recycle the most but use the least. they should be more like san francisco. we should be less like them. thank you. >> by the way, that number is for san francisco and not necessarily all of the people that san francisco serves. >> the user district is about 6s well below the state average of over 80. >> hi. i am in support of the state water board's plan for increased fresh water flows in the delta. i i'm a san francisco resident since 94. i enjoyed extensively as most people in the room have. hiking, kayaking, fishing, obviously the utmost importance. and what will we do when they're gone? san francisco needs to continue its support and leadership of positive environment of plans like this and strongly implement water reduction and greywater options. during drought years, th

[applause] >> mayor breed: the other program that has helped in this business is s.f.iants which is a grants that provided assistance with faÇade improvements. ultimately, we want this business to be a success and provide investments like this provides the opportunity for these businesses to grow and thrive. again, it takes incredible will. it takes a lot of patience. simon siren -- simon siren -- >> mayor breed: it takes good views -- good food. april spears has stepped up to the plate to be this incredible anchor tenant in the bayview hunter's point community and we must support her. thank you april for this incredible step and thank you so much to all of you for being here. i want to make sure, especially, if it is your first time here at cafÉ envy, it will not be your last, let support the small business and let's make sure that it continues to be here for generations to come. thank you all so much for being here today. [applause] >> thank you mayor breed. i want to recognize the captain for joining us today. i want to shout out some of the businesses in the house.

so i'll spend a couple moments talking about other efforts san francisco has done on pricing and incentives. so, m.t.a. did s.f. park using pricing to more effectively manage on-street parking, and it's been quite successful. we also studied more aggressive pricing for offstreet parking as the business community suggested and found that it would be only half as effective as congestion pricing for moving vehicles. for treasure island, it's another place with very limited auto capacity, and we're planning there a comprehensive package of pricing incentives, investments, and alternatives, plus programs to mitigate impacts. we're learning from treasure island in ways we could apply downtown. we also experimented with incentives with the b.a.r.t.s perk programs, and they work. small cash rewards got 10% of peak riders going through the tube during peak hours to shift their commute times. and then we've also, as was mentioned earlier, been studying the potential for pricing on express lanes and the lombard. so while we didn't start implementing pricing, san francisco has put it into our plans and policies. it's been

has improved slightly, so it looks like that smoke is being lifted up into the atmosphere. the emeryville camera, you look towards the west, that's a beautiful shot, unlimited visibility, great shot of the s.f. skyline. not everybody is seeing the smoke, but where you are seeing it, it can be rather thick overhead. it's a warm evening out there, 70 in san francisco, 77 right now in san jose. 83 in fairfield and you can see livermore checking in at 78 degrees. the big story right now, summer those winds, they'll still active out of the north, gusting to 44, 32 in livemore, that current wind gust we had in san francisco. future tracker wind gusts, 11:00 later on tonight, you can see it's still windy out there, those winds continue to come out of the north, gusting to 20 to 30 miles an hour. and similar story as weed ed ad the clock into tomorrow morning, a wind start to our monday. as you go throughout the day, by noon, lunchtime, we do expect those winds to gradually back off. so the afternoon, not nearly as windy as the morning on monday. so good news there, so it will be windy early in the morning. that red flag warning continues overnigh overnight. red flag warning for the east bay hills.

s.f. permits and tracking system. >> good morning, commissioners. i am the dt project manager overseeing the project. there has been an update over the last month or so where there has been a lot of progress on the issues that were not covered in the testing cycle. we are making steady progress forward. i would like to say that a number of the areas that are highlighted as significant problems, we are seeing positive and definite progress on them, including areas like these, they are starting -- there is a big problem with big discovery during the testing cycle that fees are starting to test and look good. performance is looking good. that was another big concern. addresses and parcels, that was actually a big surprise and required a significant architecture as to how that was approached. most of that work is done. there has been some rework required as a result of the re architecture that is still in progress as well. as the city cio, linda emphasized at the last meeting that we are being very milestone in deliverable focus as we move forward. we want to get the reported issues down to where they can be retes

first time that a city has tried to eliminate most likely -- motorcycle fatalities specifically in the vision zero context. we wanted to be data-driven as everything in vision zero s.fis but be community-oriented. because we know that there is a strong sense of community within that motorcycle riding population of san francisco and that like all people, they respond better to in group messages rather than the sfmta saying things at them. so we wanted to get community leaders on our side to endorse that message. with their help and input, we have produced educational materials like these adds that were up this year for motorcycle safety month on buses and light rail vehicles and we made these patches that you see that we give to people who go through our safety ambassador program. we made these postcards telling people about the dangers of speeding and other issues in san francisco and everything that we have produced was an english, spanish, chinese, and filipino. and a big plank of what we did was we held 11 motorcycle safety ambassador trainings. where anybody from the motorcycle riding community could come and get educated by the first six of them by sfpd motorcy

sidewalks and then it has a series of standard and nonstandard streetscape features which we can acquire the standard features and request or recommends that they build nonstandard features. s.f. -- of this came about and it comes from the passage of the better streets plan in 2010. as is typical with large bureaucratic systems, it took a while for the city to develop an infrastructure to implement the policy after it was created. i got created in 2011. and that is the design team which is our sister entity. can be created that and formally in about 2014, we started inviting in other departments. recently we welcome to the fire department which has been the holy grail, we now have all the representative agencies that have jurisdiction over the public right-of-way. that has been wonderful. and then on the horizon for us, the department will update their website and there will be home for us on the new website. we will make this more information publicly available and we are working to refine a policy for the department of public works. we are going to present updates to the planning code that are relevant and we will also publish the letters that we publish online to make them

generation is the first that has grown up as digital natives and so our digital inclusion needs are different than older adults so that's something -- i've been able to attend a couple of s.f. tech council meetings which i've been grateful to attend. i wanted to keep in mind the needs are different between older adults and those of us who are 18-35 or 45. the second thing i want to say is a lot of the implement programs that i see within disability employment are entry level with no pass for advancement. there's been a lot of talk today about losing benefits. if we're not providing people with long-term sustained employment, at competitive salaries, then there's no incentive there to want to switch over to that. the third thing i'll say is that earlier this year, i actually piloted a program to train people with disabilities to learn about sales force software. over the next five years, they're going to be three million jobs created with not enough people to fill those and so we've done the pilot. it was sold out. we partnered with the california department of rehabilitation. we're actually looking for some energy, a couple more people to kind of buy into turn this program

s.f. i believe my career -- i'm sorry, began my career on july 27, 1997 while the san francisco fire department was under a well-publy soyed ascent decree. as you're aware the department has as long history of discriminatory practices. please, by all means, count up the discrimination lawsuits against administration of joanne haze white alone. i'm certain that there is a seven figure category there. in my years of service with the department, i havensed and been the victim of despair treatment, harassment and homophobia. having the courage to speak out on these matters almost guarantees retaliation. but in ways that are much more subtle than they used to be. the new style of retaliation involved subterfuge and is dramatically more opaque. for example, refusing to fulfill a routine uniform request or creating new work rules to hinder my ability to do my job at the department as a recruiter, case in point -- the department has ordered me not to meet with prospective candidates. take a moment to think about this. the recruiter for the department and i've been ordered not to meet with candidates. because it provides, quote, an unfair advantage. really? this new directive seem

s.f.86, they are listing who ey want us to talk to. when something like this comes nnerit usually is in the in which these allegations didis it's typically not after so much time hasnspired. but owould also poiut that, in the vast majority of our investigationswhether they are -- our background investigations, whether they are for, you know, an agent -- a prospective agent who wants to join the organization or a federal judge, that they don't usually have this kind of profile, at a aren'tas broang to the entire nation, the whole world for that matter. so in this respect, i me, we're talking about a seat on the supreme court of the united it's not surprising something like this would come out, even it did. after i think it's actually good that it did come out because if we're going to put this individual on the supreme court, we need to know that they have the kind of character, the kind of baground that supports that position. amu know, there's also the question of tempt in terms of how they reacted to the kinds of haiticisms that we seen. you know, we expect our judges to be objective, to be able to be abovehe fray, so to speak. thisthis, in te, as difficult as i
