and what will be moving forward are other responses so that san franciscans who are seeing neighbors and distress have a number they can call, and app they can dial, and they can get, in realtime, an appropriate response it isn't necessarily the police. if you need a police officer, the police need to be there, but ideally, it is not the police. so that is something that i think will change lives, both for folks who are in crisis, and for the communities in which those folks are living. there's a third recommendation that is buried way down there. it is item number 17. it is actually really important and it is strength collaboration -- strengthen communities -- communication and collaboration among city agencies and providers. i want to highlight this because it is the reason that dr. bland exists. i want to thank mayor breed for creating this position, for recognizing the need to look across city agencies, to look to our nonprofit partners, to bring folks together to get out of the silos and to have us working together towards common destinations and towards getting care to the peop

long time san franciscan and small businessperson in san francisco for 25 years. i unfortunately don't know all of you and some of you may know me too well. i wanted to congratulate you on crossing a chasm of -- the last meeting or a couple of meeting ago was confrontational. if anyone who knows me, i always say dialogue is messy, but it is necessary. if you're asking questions and the other side is getting frustrated or animated, you're probably asking the right questions. i come here on behalf of our 33 organizations, and hundreds of small businesses on the commercial corridors that we represent, to please keep it up. do not be discouraged. yes, transition is tough and it can be hard to take, but please know that we have your backs, and we will support you. please keep advocating for us. we have long thought that we have been either dismissed or totally ignored at times, or at least that's the way we feel, and a lot of times, legislation does not have a pulse of how small business needs to really function, and you are our conduit for that, and i commend you for

san franciscans, if you see someone suffer secretary-general on the street with mental illness or drugddiction, you're no longer going to have to walk by and feel guilty because you didn't know how to help them, you're no longer going to have to debate with yourself if you should call the police, is that a good or bad thing, you will have a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week team of mobile clinicians that will come out and assist that individual at any time.

the latest report reports that 300,000 san franciscans do not have internet access from their homes, including me. in making this decision, the library staff did not take into account this block of library users. they presumed all users have internet access which would allow them to receive notices via the internet. they did not take into effect all of these san franciscans who have no way of placing materials on hold for pick up. this greatly disadvantages 138,000 patrons from using the library. quite simply, if a patron cannot know if a book is available, they will likely not use the library. this action by the library violates its public obligation to serve all users equally and at the same level of service. it may also violate -- thank you. >> president yee: thank you. next speaker. >> i came today -- linda chapman from knob hill. -- nob hill. i came today to represent the poor people of san francisco. when i saw the flier at an interfaith event, and the huge page of national support from fack, tea facebook, tears came to my eyes. so you know, carr is getting tgetting -- cair is
