francisco, but ultimately, what i care about doing is making sure that the next generation of san franciscans don't end up tomorrow's homeless people in san francisco. i want to make sure that we open the doors of opportunity that did not exist when i was growing up in san francisco. as i said, i lived in public housing, and what we saw, you know, the drug dealing, and everything else, that was normal. we didn't know what was going on downtown other than there was some buildings down there, and every once in a while, we could go to macy's and get a pair of shoes. i want to make sure we have paid intern opportunities for students here in san francisco, and i want every company doing business with san francisco to pay for them. i want every company to offer 100 slots where the employees of all of these companies are really taking a role in being a mentor to support young people. like, these are not your kids but they are our kids, and we -- if we don't take responsibility for other people's kids, then we're going to continue to have problems time and time again. so we have to make everybody's k

my wife is a native san franciscan. careerwise i served as an assistant district attorney like you for ten years in the san francisco's d.a.'s office and after that an assistant united states attorney in the united states attorney office, recruited by bob mueller, kind of a popular guy right now, i served under him. and i served under kevin ryan, a graduate of st. ignatius high school, who is u.s. attorney. in addition to being police commissioner, i'm a partner in a law firm, so it's a honor to be here and i'll turn it over to commissioner dejesus. >> commissioner dejesus: okay, that's a tough act to follow. i'm also a native san franciscan, i'm not a wildcat, but my son is a wildcat. i forget how big this school is. and i live in the mission, i'm an attorney, i was in the public defender's office for ten years. i do -- i do -- now i do -- i'm trying to think about it, workers' rights, workers who are dying from cancer, caused usually from their employment, so that's what i do now. that's it. i got the longest tenure on

at strategies to make sure we are thinking about residential care in the best way possible for san franciscans and that includes looking at state waivers and looking at other departments maybe to look at incentives the city could do to help keep people in business. so i'm excited we have launched that. we hope to have recommendations for the city by the end of the calendar year so the work group is off and running. we have a couple committees that are meeting and we will report back the next few months about the progress that work group makes. chair is dan kaplan, cindy coffman, deputy director of dos active as well. we have other staff people, department of public health. it should be exciting. we know, we believe there's a crisis, especially for poor people who need assisted living in san francisco. so being able to correct that would be great. i just want to announce sb 1045, a bill scott wiener was carrying which is meant to increase powers of conservators office, people who are drug addicted, gratefully disabled due to drug addiction, mental illness and all that stuff, it would help a lit

when they come into office, mayor breed had a policy summit to really get the best experts of san franciscans in a variety of areas. one was seniors, youth, children and family, another equality and equity, health care, homelessness, housing, transportation, issue that's affect san franciscans in general and a bunch of recommendations came out of that policy summit and departments were asked to respond to the policy recommendations so this is the response. specifically the response is to the recommendation. it's not going to be all inclusive, but i thought you might like to see it so i made copies so you could read it at your leisure, and i think that's it for now. >> thank you, shereen. any comments or questions? >> i have one. i recently read in the san francisco examiner, i believe we spoke offline about the federal imposition of a requirement that could jeopardize the food security of about 3,000 san franciscans. i wonder how many identified as seniors, people with disabilities or fall under our purview of folks we could proactively get through that troubling news. >> yes. you are talking

i'm a native san franciscan, a homeowner. i've been working at the department of public health for 20 years now. i previously worked for the city in the former department of social services and the police department. i have witnessed racism through all of those years. but what i'm witnessing now is so much worse than i've ever seen before. while d.p.h. has adopted number of projects to address racism and equity, the culture has not changed. and there is no indication that the culture is going to change. so when you get responses and the responses are what we're doing, there may be a lot of money being spent on it, but it is not having a difference in the culture that we have to live in. [applause] development of solutions to this problem cannot be left in the hands of the executive staff that exists right now. >> yeah! [applause] >> you've heard that. you've heard that. [applause] the personal descriptions that have been given also prove that. if we are going to get to solutions, number one -- power and authority must be give

san francisco value speeches and i think this resolution is vital the political reality is san franciscans love san francisco bay and they don't want to see it harmed. the reality is san franciscans are ready to sacrifice and conserve to put more water into the tuolumne river for fish and fishermen who make their living off of them and the political reality is san franciscans are ready to put their money with their mouths are when it comes to my mental thank you. >> madam chair, supervisors, on the executive director of the pacific coast federation of fishermen his associations representing 750 commercial fishermen on the california coast. fourteen port and marketing associations including two bays in san francisco. i am a resident in san francisco supervisor peskin, thank you for working with us and the p.u.c. on this resolution. it is incredibly necessary. it will bring about the survival of this industry which is weathering on the vine. it is without question a disaster for us. we have faced to federally declared fisheries disasters for the previous two years and this year was severely

it doesn't resonate with the values of san franciscans, and i say that as a native san franciscan. i've been here all my life. again, to go with the sfpuc, basically embrace is taking the fish out of fisherman's wharf. we don't have salmon, that's for sure, if they have their way. it's just remarkable that i'm sitting here listening to others saying that the sfpuc is carrying water for the trump administration. we look to all of you as the back stop to the sfpuc, and we hope that you support the peskin resolution. thank you, supervisors. >> barry nelson with western water strategies and golden gate salmon association. we're -- and i would also like to support and thank mr. peskin for introducing his resolution. we're not here today solely to talk about the tuolomne river. the tuolomne river is part of the larger bay delta estuary. there are 23,000 salmon fishing jobs in california, and frankly, those won't survive. the salmon fishing men on fisherman's wharf, the fishing boats, they won't survive. it is the most important salmon fishing. this is local jobs, local, healthy, sustaina

mark and i both grew up in san francisco, native san franciscans. we know the experiences of the city over the years and how much it's changed. we have a growing economy where we have a 2.4% unemployment rate, but yet, we still see the challenges that exist on our streets. i went to public schools, but so many of my friends who i grew up with, sadly, ended up behind bars, sadly, dropped out of high school, and sadly, lost their life to gun violence. we are going to change what is normal in san francisco because we are going to invest in our kids on the front end. we are going to make sure that the doors of opportunity in the technology field are available to them. that's what this contribution is about, leaving no child behind. many of you know that making sure that our kids get a good education and the companies that are part of san francisco contribute to pain internship opportunities and -- paid internship opportunities and invest in our kids. mark bennio has helped up to the plate time and time again before i was even mayor saying we're going to

allison washburn from san franciscans for sunshine and an opponent of the measure.hank you both for being here. >> we're going to start with some opening statements, and we'll begin with allison. >> hi. san franciscans for sunshine strongly believe that one, there are no compelling reasons to approve prop b. and two, a very compelling one to reject it. first, prop b is unnecessary, and it's unnecessary for several reasons. the first, the board of supervisors could, right now, pass binding personal data privacy laws without such a charter amendment. two, the privacy guidelines outlined in prop b are nonbinding. these are really nothing more than a declaration of policy disguised as a charter amendment. three. on june 28 of this year, governor brown signed into law ab 375, the california consumer privacy act of 2018. this law expressly preempts and supersedes any and all laws adopted locally regarding the sail of consumers' information by a business. second, and the most compelling reason to oppose prop b, it could greatly weaken our voter past transparency law. san f

as a native san franciscan. any other natives out there? yeah.front of city hall, in the heart of our city, it's kind of a dream, right? it's -- i'm excited. i'm excited to be partnered with everybody on this project. super excited about the alignment of vision and how perfectly, you know, our cafe being right here on this corner lines up with our community for food. i saw the impact we had on our community. that block, when i took it over, had storefronts that were covered with metal grates. we took those grates down, and all of a sudden, we saw things happen. 300 jobs are created in that 1800 block of eighth street. things had happening in the divisadero, and that's why i'm excited to be here now. that's the power of good food. it brings people today. it slows us down, it allows us to communicate -- except when your mouth is full, right? i'm excited to feed kids, to partner with this library with the program that we're going to have with the main library. we're going to continue working with the same businesses that we've worked with the same d

but 131,000 san franciscans, including every member of this board, disagreed with me. what did they say? it is okay to dine and dash, as long as we get the warriors to come back to the city we sent them from. >> thank you for your comments. next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors. mayor breed has announced that she is addressing the problem of homeless young adults and internships for these young adults. rapid rehousing is the model currently under study for the housing and internships with young adults that are forth coming. one of the keys to this action being successful jobs. having accessibility living wage jobs assures that the mayor's ideas will have a chance of being successful because they have choices. make them shine is a social enterprise with a green bottom line. we are a green certified lead finish floor company, and he with put the shine back into floors and lives. all of our surfaces and products are green, and i've been -- [inaudible] >> -- that all buildings in san francisco aspire to, an environmentally clean building. our platform allows nonprofit

i'm a public schoolteacher and a lifelong san franciscan. i want to ensure that san francisco is a family friendly city. as a renter and a public school et teacher, i can tell you it is difficult for people to aafford to live in the sunset neighborhoods. the cost of child care means my wife had to leave her full-time job. i know the pain of the housing crisis firsthand. these issues are personal to me. if elected supervisor, i will prioritize family sized affordable housing, increase the amount of affordable housing across the entire city, and work to expand and improve policies that help families find housing in the sunset and park side neighborhoods. we must continue to improve public safety in our communities as well. i will work closely with the sfpd to keep our neighborhoods safe, especially from property crime and car break-ins, our police department has been chronically under staffed for years, making it improbable to do the necessary ples work in our communities. when we see our police officer numbers go up, we also see car break-ins

tommy's joint is a place that my husband went to as a child and he's a fourth generation san franciscane we can still go to today with our children or grandchildren and share the stories of what was san francisco like back in the 1950s. >> i'm the general manager at tommy's joint. people mostly recognize tommy's joint for its murals on the outside of the building. very bright blue. you drive down and see what it is. they know the building. tommy's is a san francisco hoffa, which is a german-style presenting food. we have five different carved meats and we carve it by hand at the station. you prefer it to be carved whether you like your brisket fatty or want it lean. you want your pastrami to be very lean. you can say i want that piece of corn beef and want it cut, you know, very thick and i want it with some sauerkraut. tell the guys how you want to prepare it and they will do it right in front of you. san francisco's a place that's changing restaurants, except for tommy's joint. tommy's joint has been the same since it opened and that is important. san francisco in general that we don'

. >> this is really to dream big and i think about what our waterfront looked like for all san franciscans today and generations to come. >> get involved with the planning process that will set the fraction for what is coming at the port. >> find for in upgrading dates on the ports website. >> (ship blowing horn in distances) coseen . >> thank you to all of you for being here. to the mayor's office for dreaming this project up with us in the first place, to supervisor kim for showing us how to do it, and to the mayor today for sharing the space with us. and especially to the community here in the tenderloin who have welcomed us over the last two years. we're here because we know the power of community owned businesses to create opportunities for asset generation in low-income communities and for everyone. my first informal meal in the bay area was at a small table in a one bedroom apartment at leavenworth and hyde. they took orders from myself and ten strangers, delivering some of the most delicious mexico city style food in the business. the tenderloin, like all communities that faced eco

there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuffestuff from their grandpar, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future. >> how are we doing today? my name is vanessa, and it is truly my honor to be sharing this space with you. i will be your master of ceremonies for today. i'm the cofounder of a nonprofit organization that works to be leadership in the latino community to create a 100% energy future. it is my pleasure to welcome you all to this beautiful place, the san francisco city hall, for the cities 4 clima4c. this event is also an incredible preview of what is to come in the next few days of the global climate action summit where representatives of cities, states, busine

it's been raising up san franciscans from this very spot for 100 years. this school has raised the children of our neighborhood since the days of duck tail hairstyles, and creased white pants, back when all the cars looked like the low riders that line our streets. it's an institution here in the heart of our neighborhood. one day, an older gentleman walked into my office and said, i remember coming here in the 1960's, and when i get in trouble, the dean would spank me with a paddle. what do you do these days to discipline kids, and my first response was we just love on them until we change their responses. this building is full of mission kids still bursting with pride for their families, still with love for their friends and neighborhoods and still very connected to this place right here that they call ho home. there are teachers among us that have invested decades in this school. horace mann has been and always will be a central part of our san francisco story. let's hear it for horace mann is still with us, still a part of this community. and then, we

the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscans to see is the dynamics of the filipino-american culture. i think in san francisco, we've kind of lost track of one of our values that makes san francisco unique with just empathy, love, of being acceptable of different people, the out liers, the crazy ones. we've become so focused onic maing money that we forgot about those that make our city and community unique. when people come to discover, i want them to rediscover the magic of what diversity and empathy can create. when you're positive and committed to using that energy, today we are going to talk about fire safety. we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco

san franciscans overwhelmingly approved it by nearly 75%. and the law went into effect in january of 2018. [♪] >> under california's new law, adults age 21 and over can legally possess up to 1 ounce of cannabis and grow up to six plants at home. adults in california can legally give up to 1 ounce to other adults. >> in the state of california, we passed a law that said adult consumption is legal. if you are an adult and in possession of certain amounts, you will no longer be tried. you will not be arrested or prosecuted for that. that is changing the landscape dramatically. [♪] >> to legalization of cannabis could bring tremendous economic and social benefits to cities like san francisco. >> this industry is projected to reach $22 billion by the year 2020. and that is just a few years away. >> it can be a huge legal industry in california. i think very shortly, the actual growing of marijuana may become the biggest cash crop in the state and so you want that to be a legal tax paying cash crop, all the way down the line to a sales tax on the

they can spend more money in san francisco as san franciscans which is better for the economic, better for san francisco and certainly better for the veterans. i think one of the other things that happens with the office is all of you who are working with veterans have to have a lot of patience and have to have a lot of understanding and empathy. and i know from martha and from dorian, who unfortunately didn't get to be here today because he is in a training in los angeles, that you guys have that. you have that empathy and that's what it takes to work with veterans who have seen a lot. often have ptsd and just often don't feel understood in san francisco. so, i want to thank all the county veterans services office staff for what they do. elvi, today is your day. and i think dorian recommended you, but i think he also said to me that really anybody in county veterans services office could get this. you get to be representatived today because of the work you -- representative today because of the work you do. i know you worked in the philippines before you came to the united states and

we look forward to the opportunity to expand our efforts to improve the health of san franciscans and to create transparent expectations for all tobacco retailers in san francisco. i'm here if you have any questions. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. colleagues, are there any questions? seeing none, there is also no b.l.a. report on this item. let's open this up for public comment. are there any members of the public that wish to speak on this item? seeing none public comment is closed.

[agenda item read] >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. supervisor tang, would you like to speak about this at all? >> supervisor tang: no. we have a representative from d.p.h. who can speak to this item. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. i think june weintraub from the d.p.h. is h

everyday san franciscans who need deeply affordable housing and the market isn't going to give it to us. we need one piece of an entire pie and puzzle and we need to ensure that the city of san francisco is on the side of everyday sa san franciscans and corporations. >> any other members of the public who wish to comment on item 4. come on up. you can lineup. >> thank you, supervisors. d5 action. we hear a lot about the poor developers. and yeah, some of them are getting international finance and many of those international finance companies want 20% profit. how many businesses in san francisco can claim that they can get 20% profit? let's not coddle these folks. remember, that affordable housing is an inclusionary fact o it's only one piece of the puzzle. vote prop c this time. >> thank you, any other members of the public. public comment on item number 4 is closed. colleagues. questions, comments? suggestions on next steps? >> supervisor safai. >> sounds like they have good ideas. they've talked about those amendments. i think having an additional week should be enough time to have

as compassionate as san franciscans may be, it's not the job of neighbors to take care of people struggling from mental illness and substance abuse. it's the job of the government to take care of those who cannot take care of themselves. sb1045 is not a panacea, it won't solve all problems. it shows the commitment of the city, of our legislative delegation in sacramento and us here in san francisco to make sure that sick and vulnerable people get the care that they need. we are just starting the local conversations. those who are skeptical about this legislation will be heard. there is going to be a robust process that engages providers and advocates but i think we can all agree that the status quo is not acceptable and that we need to get sick people off of our streets. we're going to have a conversation about assisted out patient treatment but at the end the day we ned inform move people off the streets and indoors. i also want to extend my great thanks to mayor breed, for recognizing that we need to invest more in shelter beds, more off ramping for people who are homeless. no one should

government to step up and provide security, housing security for working-class and middle-class san franciscans. it remains to be said that we have, at least 2500 homeless students in san francisco. most people who are on the streets are living in the city. many of them were tenants. please support prop ten. thank you. >> good afternoon, supervisors. my name is alex. i was here for an unrelated matter. i am a san francisco resident and a small property owner. i own a two unit building where i live with my family and we rent out a ute lower unit studio i wanted to say, -- we rent out a lower unit studio. we support prop ten and we support proposition c. it is important to protect the most vulnerable proposition -- of vulnerable populations. rent control has been absolutely not a problem for us as small landlords, because for the very simple fact that when we enter into a rental agreement with someone, the numbers of work. just because the market happens to go up a few hundred dollars or a few dollars per square foot in the intervening years, does not change the underlying economics that led us t

. >> san franciscans have 1 year to decide who will be the next d.a. and the election will be held in november next year. ktvu fox to new. >>> coming up later san francisco mayor london breed will join us and we will talk to her about the homeless problem and why she is against preparation -- proposition c. >>> strong words from pope francis on the debate over abortion. coming up. the words from the pope that compared abortion to hiring a hitman. owners of a nursery want to pop next. >>> good morning. right now we are off to a start if you are driving around the bay area and no major problems on highway four. >> we open the door to a cooler pattern. the breeze has picked up and we will see what is in store the next couple of days. eoe livings repeatedly. today, life-changing technology from abbott makes it possible to track glucose levels. without drawing a drop of blood, again and again. the most personal technology, is technology with the power to change your life. life. to the fullest. >>> welcome back to "mornings on 2". taylor swift was the big win

that is why we went all the way to north dakota to represent the people of san francisco, all san franciscans and the bay area, to state categorically that we respect water. water is important. we know about it, but we don't pay attention to it. i haven't said that -- you all do your research on how we take care of our watershed in san francisco. i worked at the presidio where we had some streams, we had many streams and rivers all over san francisco, all of them covered. but we have to pay attention to the quality of our watershed. i know you have your members that talk about this, that, and the other, but i have yet to hear a report on the issue of the watershed. now, my second issue, the watering. this is a process that one of you -- and i'll mention his name, mr. anson moran, knows a lot about. you need special permits for dewatering, so when we remove millions of gallons of water in the area where the salesforce building, and we compromise a building that is sinking 22 inches, 17 inches, not less, we need to pay attention to dewatering. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. is the

it will help low income san franciscans that have a hard time accessing good, reliable healthcare and access to good cost reduced medication. and so she bought -- brought in a group called serum. they started talking about the ability to take medication from individuals that may be have passed away or don't need it anymore and take that medication and recycle it without having it go into the waste stream. and sending it to specifically for free clinics. so we are essentially mirroring the program. we are getting access and then we reached out to the department of public health and work with them over the last ten months to come up with this legislation. we have had to make sure that we were abiding by state regulations and so on and so forth. because we are a city and a county, and made the process that much easier. a lot of people ask why we are a city and a county and what benefits there are, but in this instance, it was a direct benefit. we have the ability as a county representative. we have representatives from three clinics here today. two of which are represented in my district

the fact is, we have about 1% of san franciscans trained and if we could even push that to 5% -- of course, the goal is everyone's trained. that's so juicy and exciting. [laughter] but if we even could push it over to 5% and that's going to take a lot of people's effort, rowing in the same direction. i appreciate the opportunity. i will not belabor you with what actually is taught in nert. i feel like many of you know that already, bum appreciate the support and look forward to working more with you. thank you. >> buffering. >> nert came out of the earthquake. in 1990, neighbors asked to be shown what to do. i took nert training because i came from the midwest. we don't have earthquakes. i knew how to deal with snowstorms and a little bit about tornadoes. i had no idea what to do with earthquakes. >> our neighborhood association decided this past year at our annual meeting that we needed to have more of a preparedness for our neighborhood. >> i heard about nert through a flier that i saw on a bulletin board and i thought, this is something that i never really thought about. >> there are co
