[applause] >> this is how we create housing for all san franciscans, and i will continue to work withour regional partners, our new governor, because housing affordability isn't just a san francisco issue , it is a crisis throughout the state of california. we won't always see the results of these efforts immediately, it may take some years to his see some changes, but then we have started to build more aggressively 20 years ago, we wouldn't be in the situation we are in today. [applause] >> we might have inherited a problem decades in the making, but we cannot be the ones who pass it on to the next generation. [applause] >> as we grow, we must make our streets clean and our communities safe. since my first day in office, i have been out walking our neighboured neighborhood. this is not okay. it is not healthy. and while there is much more to do, we are working every day to stop it. it is no secret i have put in a lot of focus in the tenderloin and the south of market. i am committed to improving these neighborhoods. so far, we have doubled the number of beat officers in midmarket. we

i'm a native san franciscan. i'm going to be 50 this year, and i live right across the street from the port site, and i work four blocks from this site. i work at a business that's open to the public. i have been hit and spit on several times by homeless people. i've gone to court to get restraining orders, and they still came back to the business and still do the same thing. i respect and i appreciate the police department. i know they're overworked. if you try call 911, it takes sometime to get there because there's so much stuff going on in the city. now, i'm not against homeless. i've met with the sheriff's of san francisco about two to three years ago to work with the homeless situation. and when talking with her, we talked about a couple issues we had in san francisco. one is we only have one psych ward in the hospitals, and that's at general hospital. we need more psych wards to take care of these problems. two, if somebody gets arrested and goes to court, and they say yes i will go to a rehab or a center,

we have about 5,700 san franciscans who opted up to 100% renewable power. that's great. and we have a memorandum of understanding with the san francisco local agency formation. nats a -- that's a no-new funds extension of our relationship and i'd be happy answer question that. with respect to rates, pg&e as we shared at our last meeting, pg&e made a rate filing with the california p.u.c. that includes their 2019 that's the charge that pg&e assesses all clean power customers and asking to implement the rate changes as july -- as early as july 1 and they asked to approve those in early june. at a high level, those proposed rate changes would be more favorable to clean power customers than projected in december of last year when you granted the general manager authority on rates. we're preparing an update and intend to present that to the commission as part of the may 28 update. that will include the impact as well as the rate adjustments. with that i'm happy to take any questions you my have. thank you. >> commissioner: thank you. any public comment on this item? mr. kelly.

fulfilling demands of existing customers and san franciscan our number one priority.so all that said, these are documents between degrees of reliability under the different scenarios in the future. and this will then be used by the planning department for their assessment of whether or not to pursue or how the projects should be evaluated in the ceqa process. it's a long way of saying it's somewhat complex at times and that's the fundamental conclusion we've reached and there'll be more over time. for the new commissioners we see one every couple of months over time. they keep coming. i'd be happy to answer any questions. >> commissioner: we have a comment. i'd like to hear from the public before we get into it. >> commissioner: okay. peter druckmyer. >> clerk: since the items were called together it will be a longer public comment period. >> i'm back making up for last time. i sent a letter about this yesterday and i'll leave copies here if you haven't seen it. i think it would be a mistake to approve water supply assessments at this point and encourage you to direct

i am a fourth generation san franciscan. in december, this building will be 103 years of age. it is an incredibly rich, rich history. [♪] >> my core responsibility as city hall historian is to keep the history of this building alive. i am also the tour program manager, and i chair the city advisory commission. i have two ways of looking at my life. i want it to be -- i wanted to be a fashion designer for the movies, and the other one, a political figure because i had some force from family members, so it was a constant battle between both. i ended up, for many years, doing the fashion, not for the movies, but for for san franciscan his and then in turn, big changes, and now i am here. the work that i do at city hall makes my life a broader, a richer, more fulfilling than if i was doing something in the garment industry. i had the opportunity to develop relationships with my docents. it is almost like an extended family. i have formed incredible relationships with them, and also some of the people that come to take a tour. she was a dressmaker of the first order. i would go vis

forty 9% transgender his of san franciscans have been homeless. forty 1% nationwide have considered suicide, and one in four trans women have been victims of police violence. these numbers are higher for trans women of colour. why am i talking about this stuff? because trans people are going to be targeted disproportionately under this bill, and do you know what could happen to the community if this passes? if that -- without housing services, we could be sent to locked facilities or an area in modesto where we are denied hormones, forced to see trans phobic therapist and forced to leave -- live as our birth gender. incarceration by any other name would smell just as bad. is a formerly homeless transgendered women, we need community, not -- not coercion. and we are seeing white game in like madwoman -- mandelman and weiner liang us. i want to say, i probably swore eight times right now, so that is the number of times that someone would have to be detained under 5150 and be concerned under this legislation just to show how absurd it is. just stop t

growing up in san francisco, as a native san franciscan, and no current resident in d5, there are notery many places where kids can just come on their own and play it like i used to be able to do growing up. so this is a great place to bring family together, families feel safe, and just part of the community. we are so thankful that the parks alliance and the park and recreation departments have come up with this great plan for the panhandle. thank you very much.

laguna honda is a key part of san francisco's health network, which cares for one in eight san franciscansprimarily people who are uninsured, low income, or for -- from our immigrant communities. and includes not only laguna honda, but san francisco general , and smaller clinics across our city, and health services in our county jail. here at laguna honda, more than 1,000 patients each year receive care for complex conditions like h.i.v. and alzheimer's and dementia, and other mental illnesses and disorders, and we have, for patients who are suffering from strokes or brain injuries, or spinal injuries, or other trauma. these treatments require long-term and specialized care, as so many of you here know, and they commonly include medications as part of the treatment plan. however, it is a well-known fact that these medications are expensive, and can drive up the cost of healthcare for millions of people who need these drugs to survive. the san francisco health network is constantly working to find ways to save money on drug costs for uninsured patients. we work with federal programs like th

the arts and being ativism all under one roof, and by seeing it all in this way, what it allows san franciscanso 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, >>> san francisco, 911, what's the emergency? >> san francisco 911, police, fire and medical. >> the tenderloin. suspect with a six inch knife. >> he was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. >> san francisco 911 what's the exact location of your emergency? >> welcome to the san francisco department of emergency management. my name is shannon bond and i'm the lead instructor for our dispatch add -- academy. i want to tell you about what we do here. >> th

the ordinance gives san franciscans the power to rein in such technology. i wholeheartedly support it as does my committee. >> my name is peter and i live in district 5. when i think about surveillance technology, i particularly think of mass surveillance technology. those that surveil all persons in an area and i particularly think of the dangers of abuse by law enforcement. these technologies, including wall mounted cameras, body worn cameras and license plate readers can be part of the over-policing of marginalized communities, because the footage may be potentially misleading as a "new york times" article, police body cameras, what do you see, demonstrated. and because they might send footage to other agencies. including ice, which is in violation of our sanctuary city promise. it's why we have the 4th amendment. surveillance of specific persons with a clear and legitimate purpose can be done and should only be done with a warrant. proper oversight is critical. that is why i support the proposed ordinance to require oversight over the purchase and use o
