consensus bureau said we speak many different languages and we're you'll san franciscans. we have an obligation we've strongly felt was a good purpose of government and i joined board president chiu and supervisor kim and councilmember avalos will be here they have a late night meeting debating important issues i know each of the that have a very strong filipino and other asian the minority and latin populations in their district and certainly right here in this district a extremely strong presence and with the city comes to the clear obligation we must be able to make sure our vital services are ones that reach all our citizens when they have a language barrier by many who don't have english as the first rang indicate to the american survey under the under the circumstances keens bureau over 10 thousands of them reach the point they're not having english as they're first language we have to among services accessible to them. that means was we down for chinesespectro and spanish speaking residents we work with all our safety departments to make sure very have accurate info

what that means in high cost living cities like san francisco, many san franciscans as much they want to buy health insurance will simply not be able to afford it. in fact, we have spoken with several covered california enrollment counselors who have told us countless stories of people who have met with the counselors to try to buy insurance and once they find out the cost, they simply walk away without signing up for conversation because they simply cannot afford to buy it. in fact, there is a study and it's one of the most studies on the subject that projects that without access to the financial resources that are made available by our local law that in san francisco 40 percent or more of uninsured san franciscans who are eligible for subsidies under the affordable care act would not take it up by 2019. again, 40 percent of san franciscans who would be otherwise eligible to receive insurance under the affordable care act would not sign up because of the issue of cost. my legislation is designed to make health insurance more affordable for san francisco workers and residents. there a

these workers, they are san franciscans and they live here and for decades and decades san franciscans have lived in our city and communicated to -- commuted to the peninsula and now these people are able to take the shuttles. you only have to look at the 101 southbound in the morning or in the afternoon and know that these shuttles are the connections in these terms are a drop in the bucket. you look back and forth a lot of people are doing this. many real san franciscans are commuting down to the peninsula. that's what these buses help facilitate. you know, to tag these buses with our housing crisis, i think is not only isn't unfair but much more significantly than that, it absolutely misses the mark in terms of why we have housing crisis and it does a disservice to addressing that. if we got rid of the shuttles about a thousand people would move to be closer to work. to suggest that it would even touch the exploding prices in the city i think is absolutely inaccurate. we need to focus not only attacking these shuttles but solving our housing problems. so in terms of some of the spec

but the problem with this pilot is that you are actually treating san franciscans unequally. you are saying that a group of san franciscans can get special treatment and that the laws are not going to be enforced against them. as much as we want to say that it's okay to do that, i think fundamental problem with the way city hall has approached this issue is the same fundamental problem the way city hall has approached a lot of other issues whether it's america's cup, whether it's the twitter tax break, it's basically about a small group of people behind closed doors coming up with a deal and then presenting it to the public after the fact without any input from the public before the specifics of the deal are finalized. so as long as we keep doing that, we are only going to be exacerbating the tension that is between that is out there. i don't think this helps the tech industry and in fact i think the best thing we can do for the tech industry is to treat them the same way we treat all of san franciscans. i think this is going to be a problem because it's only going to make th

if you think you are a real city san franciscan you can recognize this is very much. this is what's connecting with me. this is not just. you should be more concerned about the residents. you are really the one that are being divisive. you are rewarding and singling out workers that do not need rewards, this corporation does not need the tax break. people face their share and this could be going towards not cutting workers salary this is not san francisco. i have 75 years of life here. this is not it. >> edward may -- mason. if you go and the transportation authority has spent over $80,000 for a draft and the problem became even worse so they revised the draft and it was finally completed. now, that's what goes on with the money. trying to recoup that money, you say why don't you put that money into computation for the bill. we can't recoup that because that was the money spent. you go on the survey. i went up to 24th and castro for 1 hour on a monday morning. 19 corporate commuter buses went through the intersection. they also suffer from bunches and gaps and twice d

it's so frustrating to be a young woman student a young san franciscan and to have such injudicious done in the city we're barrel getting by my family my mother and brother and myself are knowledge in an apartment that costs over $1,600 a month and i'm speech also what the city has become i urge you to at least give this a chance to see the results for yourselves. it hurts. and i want a solution because i'm scared thank you. thank you. next speaker >> hi, mime al elect i live in the harriet in district 5 i be support this for the environmental review. i work with google and - >> excuse me, sir this is for people that are supporting the appellant there a there will be more presentations inform support of mta. >> i apologize. >> hi, i'm steve i am going to read a an exert how the other people transit. they have a budget of 35 mile it runs the shelter and averaging 16 hundred employees that ride everyday and it has many pickup locations and it has apps to track the shelter and for the tracking they agreed to have alternative transportation if 28 to 34 percent so they made an agreement as pa

whether these residents are city of san city san franciscans or not. i'm from chicago. i live now in west portal. people come in. every new wave of immigrants is rejected by the old. that's how things go. >> that doesn't make it right. >> i'm saying it's a natural thing, but when the government takes action that will result in mass displacement of people which this will. ceqa requires that that impact be analyzed and mitigation measures adopted and implemented. >> my next question is going to be about whether these shuttles are cause a displacement that we are all concerned about and the displacement is happening and goes well beyond the communities described as happening in my district as well that we see because of the explosion of housing prices with significant displacement and we are all concerned about addressing the housing issues that have caused that displacement. i do think that just because it's the tradition of whether it's human innate -- nature or san francisco themselves and that they are causing the problems are to blame i think it has nothing to do with

we've talked about the 121 disadvantaged san franciscans who have been employed through this program since its inception. and you can see how -- how that breaks out within san francisco zip code areas. the data on the right has the zip codes ordered by highest number of disadvantaged san franciscans employed from that -- from that zip code. >> if i could just comment on that. it seems this is exactly the type of work force development impact we want to see. >> absolutely. >> in neighborhoods that have significant need for folks -- for jobs and particularly [speaker not understood] collar job. >> yes, and not just through 2018, but beyond. completely agree with you. and then looking at slide 12, program changes, we talked about the fact that csi was available to us. we piggybacked on the csi program for applications, for inspections of systems. with the csi program gone, we are now -- we went through a crush of work at the early part of this fiscal year to implement an online application system. at that time we were clearing the queue. we had a backlog of applications and with the addi

one in four san franciscans lack nutritious food and this is in every neighborhood in san francisco. what the resolution from december included and in ending hunger in sf by 2020 it included targeted intervention for calfresh enrollments and funding and policies to ensure home bound seniors and disabled adults are served within 30 days and in an more than within 2-5 days so this is a critical one. funding should really be allocated so that we can insure people can -- home bound seniors and disabled adults can be served in 30 days and even quicker in an emergency. determine the additional cost of providing shelter meals that meet nutrition standards and look at vouchers for healthy food at retails and increase the services to seniors and youth and food security among the single room occupancies, make data sets available. san francisco planning department to consider food security matters as part of the planning process for the general plan updates and major area plans. at today's hearing we will hear what from our solutions and also the cost for our city to end hungs ree by 2020. i wa

>> that's what i want to hear once you hardy folks have come it together to talk about those san franciscans toss from their you beds one hundred and seven years. the one hundred and 8 years powerful seismic waivers were across san francisco about 7.9 on the scale the san francisco would succumb to a wairj inferior for 74 hours. right now, i'm i i'd like to give you a moment by moment account of what happens one hundred and 8 years. this is not a borrowing history ladies and gentlemen, it's very real and can and will happen again. later on i'll introduce some san franciscans who worked not only on those days to make sure we all will be survivors of the inevitable next big one april 1906 at the 712 a great shock is felt some 25 seconds later now 3545 to 60 seconds along the first causalities when los allow rent buildings go collapsed and hundreds are kid. more have in mind are adams to the death town hall as collapsed structures immediately catch fire and protest rescue attempt and now fire chief was fatally wound and died later. now due to severe earthquake damage telephone and tale tell pho

of sugary drinks we've been people's 3 at the forefront and recognition that many protecting san franciscans face significant challenges in obtaining nutritious foods. we see it everyday in our pan try at 2 hundred and 40 pantries people ask important healthy food they can keeping cheap in terms of price but we agree this is a multiple prolonged approach we do what we can to increase the access to nutrition we want to step out and support this nutrition and healthy drinking among san franciscans. we believe this will help to create an environment in san francisco where nutritious foods and drinks are forcible to everybody >> thank you. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> i'm carl the ceo of the chamber in san francisco we understand and believe me i lived them with my families and friends we understand we need to have something but not a small business tax it's something we tenant tolerate we're losing businesses in the admission and affordable housing in the mission and supervisors should be concerned with assisting us i used to live in the city and have my business and we're going to lose o

next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, supervisors i'm dan i'm a third-generation san franciscan and a small property owners. everyone on this defeat agrees that diabetes is a terrible thing no one is disputing that. i admire our tensions to battle it; however, good intentions in and of itself don't make for good policy. intended consequences specifically for small businesses but in relation to larger businesses. you say the tax a levied at the point of distribution, of course, the taxes get passed along to the businesses. small businesses are hanging on by the skin of their teeth are going to have to raise their taxes but safest way can absorb the costs i want to see more small mom and pop businesses my feeling is this tax will hit them particularly hard that's why i oppose it >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi i'm kevin i don't know where to begin i think i'm only volunteering i don't work for the soda industry person i'm here as a voter in san francisco. what about the fact this is a regressive fact that's the truth and you're trying to white wash over it. that another fact

i love san francisco and san franciscans. i'm a daily muni patron and daily pedestrian and i interact with these buses everyday. i strongly support and environmental impact because we have a cal trans system that runs through the south bay. if we have such a great demand why don't we invest in that so all of us can benefit and take in that reward rather than having a separate and unequal system. i have been blocked by these buses. they block the stops. with my health and safety and people too high to see people with disabilities. i beg you to not reward on going flag rant violation of the law. environmental impact is real. to indicate in private that it's not is quite offense iv to me. finally i did a study back in 2012 and shows that houses around these bus stops sold 20 percent higher. there is data about the displacement impact and how people can come in and displace the people that can't. we have a lot of different people of a lot of different economic backgrounds and it's really fortunate -- important to me that we maint

in times like these we need to take advantage to provide housing for san franciscans. scott wiener's proposed legislation species those to be built with the envelope and the impact will be limited and accident castro area is served by retail and others things it's important. the ideas there might be increased restrictions on incomes or additional fees for affordable housing we do believe that it might prevent someone take advantage of this and we support future opportunity to expand it >> thank you very much. is there any public comment on item one. seeing none, public comment is closed. colleagues as an initial motivator i distributed the amendments can i have a motion to accept those amendments >> the amendments are adapted. and then unless there's any additional questions or comments could i have a motion to forward to me e item one to the full board of supervisors without recommendation >> i did want to say i concur with planning on making those careersy project i would have supported this but i want to put that on the record. >> i appreciate that the motion is to

determine which los angeles's meets the threshold and that's 10 thousand san franciscans that speak a limited language and this must be made by the immigrant affairs to all the departments and the city rights commission. it is now my honor to introduce mayor edwin lee telephones the administrator in 2003 when the amendment happened and continues to xoond opportunity as mayor to build bridges between our cultures. >> mayor edwin lee. >> and thank you to the center for welcoming us today. i practiced saying this word on a recent trip and consul general thank you for being here and all the volunteers and staff that have been working with the city for many, many years to make sure with we equal access to all the cities services and president chiu reminded me it didn't used to be called this but the continental access to all the serviced. i'm a firm believer but we're an international city and a city of immigrants the u.s. consensus bureau said we speak many different languages and we're you'll san franciscans. we have an obligation we've strongly felt was a good purpose of government and

concerned that this legislation will discourage charitable gifts that help build parks for all san franciscans to enjoy and that this legislation will decrease the flexibility needed for effective public/private partnerships to build world class parks that this city deserves. we rehe expectfully suggest that private donations and charitable organizations be exempt from this legislation at the least and that the board of supervisors slightly delay the ordinance to study it further to clearly understand the full impacts. in the past five years the trust for public land has had a strong partnership with the recreation and parks department and together has completed projects such as hayes valley playground and balboa park. for these projects, rec/park has successfully encouraged charitable donations, public private partnerships and a variety of public and private grants. this legislation would strain the flexibility needed to accomplish these projects. we are currently working with a generous donor to explore redoing the playground in front of civic center. the proposed legislation again concernin

that they are typical san franciscans that you find in the city of san francisco unified school district which is mostly low income, people that have the right to san francisco and we should be creating mechanisms for them to stay here. i appreciate the legislation and look forward to it passing today. i hope it does because it's something that san franciscans really need. let me say this, i heard from many people in my district who would love to see in laws go away. i have thought about that. making them go away is to say to the thousands of people who live in them that you no longer belong in san francisco. that doesn't make any sense. we into ed to make sure that people who are living in san francisco who are contributing to our economy and part of our school district can stay here and make it their city of their own. thank you. >> supervisors tang? >>supervisor katy tang: thank you for your comments. i believe we have a huge number of those in law units. when my parents first moved to san francisco, my family was a family of four and we lived in the sunset district. i know with immig

there is no such thing as a perfect piece of legislation, what this legislation does is it gives san franciscans a fighting chance to stay in this city. it is not a pancita or a silver bullet, about you this provoids working and middle class people in san francisco a fighting chance to afford to stay here if they're evicted. i do think that it's important for us to focus on the work at the state level, but i don't think we can be happier or satisfied until locally we're doing everything we can do because if all we do is wait for the state to change the ellis sack and some of the laws that needs to be changed, by the time those laws changes, it will be thousands of san franciscans who will no longer be living in this city. this helps all those facing eviction today that they have a fighting chance to stay here. i'm proud of this legislation. i want to thank the tenant community which has organized around the issue of displacement in which through a series of conventions identified the issue of relocation costs and increasing the relocation assistance as the top issue in terms of ways in which we

local businesses they're paying savings and a property tax and payroll tax and normally adhere san franciscansng goods and services in san francisco it really helps the economy of san francisco grow so its not only a benefit to the project but to the city. the contractors center is 5 thomas melon circle in the bayview area open 8:30 to 5 welcomin food in san francisco just about expensive eat but food for everyone and there's organizations in the city that are doing really good work making sure that healthy food it assessable to everyone. more and more as follows are are becoming interested in upper arlthd they want to joy the open green pace sea know where their food it coming from we'll look at 3 programs talking ushering agricultural and garden to new heights. so what exactly it, your honor agricultural >> it the growing food or flowers within city limits traditionally we've been referring to communities gardener that is a raised bed over and over upper argument has a more a farming way of farming. >> so tell me 0 what's growing in this garden. >> a really at all plant. in the one of the ra
