the difference between the water improvement and sewer system, the sewer system is strictly san franciscan and water system is both san francisco and service territory which is made up of the 7 counties. if you look at the non-apprenticeship, we are 32% of san franciscans. i think this is really a great show we are really invested in trying to promote opportunities for san franciscans. moving from water and wastewater side, i wanted to focus on our power side. i wanted to begin with our hetchy power customers. as you know and passed a resolution, we are celebrating 100 years of hetch hetchy power and we did that. so we can more effectively serve customers and expand our customer base and improving our service to our existing customers are key in meeting our power business plan goals. so if you look at what we are trying to accomplish. currently we serve about 100 megawatts to our customers and what we are looking for is to pretty much double that over time and the way it's broken down is we are looking for about 100 megawatts or 90 megawatts from new development or opportunities to serve i

our strategic goal is to deliver that to san franciscans. to process landlord and tenant petitions more effectively. to provide information. to increase collaboration with other city departments and ensuring san francisco's diverse community can access the department's services. so we expect, we want to process petitions more effectively because we expect increased filings in the future that require more resources to process. as an example, we have the soft story seismic retrofit ordinance which mandates 5,000 buildings be seismic retrofitted. we are working with folks at d.b.i. the buildings that undergo that kind of work will eventually go to the rent board as a pass through for inspection. we are looking at how to process more efficiently. in the past year we have redone the way in which we look at tenant hardship applications for example, and we are looking at pilot projects in deciding petitions without a hearing where it's possible. we are challenged with how to keep our information up-to-date because our information is also very legal

had the honor and privilege to be a part of the working group, which is comprised of about 34 san franciscans, and we've been assisting the port of san francisco in putting together the land use master plan. i've also had the honor to chair the transportation sub committee. i am really surprised. i think the take-away notes here are we are really at a time bomb. san francisco prone to earthquakes. we know what is happening in the region, and we have a history, and 425 million is really a down payment, as the city administrator and port director elaine forbes mentioned earlier. the earlier we can get this done, at the end of the day, theologic sticks of the other pile, i think san francisco wants to have it done. i live in district ten, the southern waterfront, the whole city is going to be melt down. when you think about 24 billion. so let's just pray and the upgrade does not even happen in november . at that time, you will have no choice but to go in emergency and do what you have to do. so let's get this ball rolling, and i know all of you will support this bond measure and move it forward.

and as the mayor, i will be setting a good example for all the san franciscans. i will kickback 50% of my mayor salary so i can make sure all neighborhoods are good for all 11 districts. i will hold the supervisors that are running for mayor accountable for their projects. you know, san franciscos with car break-ins, with everything in there, one person is not able to do a job. the homelessness problem not able to be solved unless we have new housing policy and new homeless policy. when we treat the property owners fair, they will release the owners and give it to the people. when we treat the homeless with dignity, this is the special election. it's only good for a year and a half. i don't know why there is so many people they spend millions and millioned just while they are mayor. i will not do that. i am setting a good example how we live our life and honor our parents and the lord. treat us with respect and we will get things done. thank you. >> thank you very much. amy. >> whoever becomes mayor of san francisco must focus on stablizing and healing our system

here we are you currently are, we have the highest risk and most vulnerable san franciscans. this five-story property was completed in 2,009 with development funds from the city and county of san francisco. it is one of the best examples of solutions to ending homelessness in our community. we are proud to partner with the city of san francisco to end homelessness and i'm very, very pleased this morning to introduce you to the honourable mayor, mark farrell. thank you. [applause] >> mayor farrell: thank you best. i think the house for hosting us this morning here in san francisco. you know, we do not have to remind anyone why we are here this morning. why we are here today for this announcement. homelessness is a crisis in the city of san francisco. our city government needs to step up. our city, our region, our state, our country is dealing with this tragedy every single day on the streets. the roots of the epidemic are complex. there is no single solution to solve the issue. we need to pursue a wide variety of initiatives. we need to fund programs that have been proven to wo

because, realistically speaking, at pains the heart of san franciscans to see so many san franciscans living on the street of san francisco. while some politicians are not fair to represent the people, but more to make money. thank you very much. >> supervisor breed: thank you very much, before the next speaker begins, while we welcome your public comment, audible sounds of support or in opposition of are not prohibited in the chamber. if you would like to express yourselves, you can use your supportive hands like that. all right, thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors. my name is kelly cutler and i am a human rights organizer with a coalition of homelessness. today we are here to bring attention to this sweeps that happened and have been happening since the 25th when the mayor had ordered sweeps in the mission but we are seeing it throughout the city. this is, there is so much evidence and we know from our past experience here, a couple years ago, that sweeps do not work. people were down there and i was down there the day people were offered seven days on the mat next

today, will you please send a powerful message to our fellow san franciscans that san francisco will continue to be a city that values diversity, inclusion, and tolerance? that we will not tolerate racism, bigotry and exclusion? i want to say that my father actually was a paper son, meaning that there was a period where many chinese population i am -- immigrants were coming in under somebody's name mainy because of the exclusion act. and i'm saying this because i remember -- even when my grandfather was already here, so it was kind of ridiculous that he had to come in as a paper son. but i didn't know the impact of that until i was probably cl e close -- well, being a teenager when laws changed that allowed for somebody like my father to come to gain citizenship and the fear that he had. it's almost living -- i lived through some of the fears that people are living through today with the possibility of being deported because of their status and the relief that i saw in my father's face when it happened when he finally regained citizenship stuck to me today. so -- and i'm going to tel

. >> i am a native san franciscan. participated in some -- carnaval. >> reporter: appreciation for culture and diversity is what this teacher wanted to instill in her students in the parade. >> these students are growing up native san franciscan, even though most of their parents are not. so i want to get them out of their neighborhood, get them into things that are outside of their comfort zone get them into doing things that are culturally relevant. >> reporter: to pass on the significance of this tradition to the next generation. in san francisco, allie rasmus, ktvu fox 2 news. >>> thank you. 4:20. help is needed at the voting polls. how much you could get paid to help out during the june primary here in the bay area. >>> players sounding off about the new nfl policy. that continuing diversity over the national anthem protests. at nfl games. my name is tony thurmond. education isn't the goal, - it's the gateway. hold the key... to every child's opportunity. we reject trump's attacks on our public schools. and invest

a growing number of san franciscans are energized and excited that our city, at long last has a republicanis june 5th mayor raced making this election a truly two party race. i'm endorsed by the san francisco republican party, in the lgbt republican club and by the small property owners of san francisco. i've earned my reputation and resulting endorsements based on me being the only levelheaded, grounded and respectful leader and candidate for office. with every election cycle, san francisco's voters see the same recycled candidates, the same rhetoric and promises with no real solutions. this is making our city's problems progressively worse year after year. we need better, and i will be better, much better. moreover, the current city hall leadership and nearly all mayoral candidates have shifted so far left that voters are dismayed and in disbelief. the majority of san francisco's voices are now unheard and unrepresented. but i am a great listener and a great planner for action. it's what i've done in my career for nearly 30 years. city hall cannot operate without checks and balances. it

asking questions with the utmost abundance of caution and care to make sure we aren't exposing san franciscans to undue harassment from the federal government. madam chair, thank you. >> president breed: thank you, supervisor cohen. supervisor fewer? > supervisor fewer: yes, i want to thank supervisor cohen for questions. the sad reality is that we may not be able to protect that information from the federal government. i think that everyone who is in this country undocumented who decides to sign up for daca knows the risk and takes the risk knowing that the benefits in their personal situation may out weigh the risk and with voting, of course we want to give all of our parents an opportunity to vote for their elected officials and especially many of those immigrants who have come to this country because of our public education system. because they seek education for their children as a stepping stone into prosperity in this country. it's important they know the risks involved and they make that choice wisely, that's why this ordinance is so important so everybody is aware, i think everybody h

internet to all of san francisco. 5g technology is the future of connectivity and something all san franciscans can benefit from and it could be delivered more quickly and less cost to the tax payers. we just need to look to our neighbors to the south in los angeles, and sacramento, san jose. who capitalize for the public private partnerships bringing 5g to their communities to the tune of hundreds of millions for general fund purposes. they were negotiated in good faith and financial resources and include up front lease agreements to enact small cell technology working collaboratively to maintain the neighborhood character. in return 5g will connect all corners of the city. we could be a smart city of the future. and 5g technology through a public private partnership would be built by established internet providers with the resources and equipment to get such a network established. these same providers are also better equipped to handle not just installation but customer service, infrastructure maintenance, data management, security and much more. i'm here today to advocate we engage industry

it is an honor to be a native san franciscan. it is an honor to be on the corner of haight and masonic. when people think san francisco, they think golden gate bridge, fisherman's wharf and a hippie on the corner of haight and ashbury. what happened in the haight 50 years ago shaped who we are as a society and hopefully what we are doing here today also shapes the next 50 years as much. thank you for your recognition and a team work makes the dream work. thank you. >> president breed: thank you. [applause] all right, let's give sunny another hand, thank you so much. love on haight, make sure you stop by.

be thinking about the workers that are providing the service and making it accessible to all san franciscans and all san francisco neighborhoods. we're not asking it to be limited to scooters, but with we wanted to look at all the forms of emerging transportation and workers and their wage. the rest i submit. >> supervisor sheehy: today, i have in me more yam for sun wolf. she decided to lead the parade on motorcycle. they moved to the front because frankly, they didn't want the bikes to overheat. while they were in the back, idling. and so they the harleys and indians, they led the way. when they first started. it was obviously just a handful. but with each pride parade, dikes on bikes, the contingent became bigger and bigger. there are more than 400 riders in some parades and always leading the way for 40 years was wolf, in her leather vest, with the dikes on bikes logo and chaps. this has become an international phenomenon, with 16 chapters and thousands of members throughout the united states, britain and australia. dikes on bikes are always at the head of the pack when there is a parade

i am a native san franciscan. i have lived in san francisco my entire life. lately, in the last five years or so, i've noticed a significant decline in my quality of life. so i think the question should be, which do we need more of? economic development or concern for the environment? and i think st. francis, the patron saint of ecology and pope francis himself, would agree that it is the environment, okay? and i'll give you some reasons. first of all, california is a biodiversity hotspot. that means we have an abundance of naturally occurring species which, many of which are at risk of extinction because of human activity. our demand on water, for example was addressed earlier. it is threatening entire ecosystems all along the system going to the bay. so i urge you to ensure that the demand on water art weighed against what the science is -- what the signs has already told us. me to 60 % unimpaired below along that water system to avoid ecosystem collapses along the system. not the 20 or 40 % brought on by the pc or the state water board. okay? another reaso
