he said with homelessness on the rise it is up to every san franciscan to take action. tipping point has spent $27 million in the last couple of years and it is part of the pledged to spend 100,000,005 years to cut the city homes a population and half. pretty bold moves there, and 50 companies are backing this up. it is called the all and all and campaign. there holding a kickoff event later this morning. jackie ward, kpix 5. >> it is time for a look at the morning top stories. >> place of us getting nancy early-morning car crash in san francisco. to send for people to the high spittle. fire hydrant and 9:33rd street in carroll avenue in the bayview. the damage hydrant sent thousands of water 30 feet in the air. police say that speed appears to be a factor. >>> firefighters taking progress against and 80 acre wildfire in the foothills that began yesterday afternoon their swagger and shelter wrote. the fire 40 sent contained. >>> suspects in a carjacking in custody after a manhunt and arrested late last night and broadmoor following a pursuit. >> continue to keep an eye

native san franciscan here. as far as i've noticed, only the smaller suburban towns have 4th of july parades. i don't even think new york city and l.a. have them. and i remember as a mother of three living in san francisco having to go to sausalito and san anselmo for those great 4th of july parades. >> i think you and those native san franciscans are historians enough, right? >> absolutely. lyanne, very entertaining. thank you. to find 4th of july events and fireworks shows tonight, you can go to abc7news.com. we have put together a list for you. it's all at our home page. >> but as you heard, we do have the fireworks show in san francisco. the question is how good will the viewing be. let's check in with spencer christian. >> okay. well, as you can see, the fog is creeping up along the coast line right now. you can see it on live doppler 7 and pushing locally out over the bay. there's a lot of it here in san francisco right now, so this is the view from emeryville looking back toward san francisco. let me give

in 2010, over # 4,000 san franciscans who experience disabilities. the department of aging and adult services is the primary agency tasked with providing social safety net services to adult with disabilities in san francisco. however, the department current name does not effectively communicate this role in our community. this -- it is unclear that the term "adult" is intended to refer to adult with disabilities. this was a very -- this has a very real impact on our community members, who live with disabilities. they don't know that this department and all of its resources exist to help them. changing the department's name to include the term "disability" will more accurately reflect its role and guide community members to reach out to the department for support. therefore, i introduced a charter amendment that will accomplish the following. it would change the official name of the aging and adult services commission to the disability and aging services commission. it will change the official name of the department of aging and adult services to the d

i am a third-generation san franciscan, grateful to still be here. i organize the san francisco rising, a local electoral alliance and i organized with college students at s. of state and city college. college. many of whom are paying $800 to share a room, many of whom are working three jobs, you know, they are spending more time working than actually studying and being in class, and collectively we are working on another tax to actually tax the wealthy, to make college free again in california and it's really interesting to talk to them and try and grasp what a billionaire means. i tell them that, you know, a million inches is 16 miles, that is from here to richmond, california. if you add three zeros, a billion inches would be 16,000 miles, which i try to calculate in some measure that actually makes sense, and it is actually further than from here to antarctica. twenty think about conceptualizing what a billionaire actually is and know that, you know, they only got there through a structure of a peer amid, to the structure of exploitation of people

how do we make sure that every single san franciscan has access to permanent, supportive, affordable housing in their communities? and we have been able to come together and bring folks together around this bond, and i am so honored to be a part of it. this bond, as the mayor said, as the president said, is something for everyone. we have to make sure that the residents of public housing are supported. we need to make sure that the seniors in our community have a place to age with respect. we have a responsibility to make sure that we take care of our first responders and our teachers. the mayor and the board of supervisors didn't just talk about an affordable housing crisis, they did something about it, and i am so excited to stand with them and support this and get this over the finish line in november. guess what, folks? we have a lot more work to do. this is our first attempt to making sure we have affordable housing in san francisco. we have a lot of work to do. let's get to work. thank you so much.

light manufacturing spaces provide san franciscans with important blue-collar jobs. the mission is one of the few districts whether p.d.r. zoning exists and we must protect these hard-to-find spaces. i can go into detail about what the legislation does, but i will spare you unless you have questions. i just wanted to thank the tenants who have been in communication with our office and have helped us to find this work and this solution. i want to thank the city departments and staff that have been working with my office for the past six months to come up with this solution, including the director and the office of small business. our zoning administrator, and department staff, and the department of building inspection, as well as the department of public health, with particular thanks to stefani and jen. finally, i want to thank carlee number alice from my office. it is no small feat to organize and work with hundreds of businesses that are in panic of losing their space, and she was on the phone and meeting with these businesses nonstop for months on end. thank you s

you, again, supervisor peskin for your tireless and successful efforts, and a growing number of san franciscans are working for big corporations with 2.9% of san francisco corporations receiving a salary from an on-line platform. uber drivers are in the 10% of all wage and salaried workers nationwide at nearly $6 below minimum wage in san francisco. because these businesses classify workers independent contractors rather than employees, they leave them without health insurance coverage, without social security to support them in retirement, without any of the fundamental protections that have been in place more than half a century. late last month, supervisor mar and i held a hearing at the public safety and neighborhood services committee on the issue of employee classification in the gig economy. dozens of gig workers came out to share their stories about their struggles to make ends meet without a living minimum wage, health care access, or any of the employee benefits they would be subject to if they were employees. ab 5 would codify a 2018 california supreme court decision that resets the

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

light manufacturing provide working class san franciscans with working class jobs. the mission is one of the few places where p.d.r. zones existed, and we must protect these spaces. prior to active space building, there was a long history of this property of arts and manufacturing uses, so the planning commission imposed restrictions when it approved active space in 2004. the owner of the active space signed a notice of special restriction in october 2004, where he committed to make p.d.r. use of the building, including a prediction of both office and residential purposes at the building. it the city attorney is pursuing a separate enforcement process with the owner, but i wanted to provide you today with the full context of the situation we are solving for. once again, it is both my priority to protect the small businesses and p.d.r. zoning and spaces in the mission. therefore, i'm offering legislation that will provide a balanced approach. the lemgs lation will provide an amnesty for current office use to stay in the building for the next ten years. it will requir

the nonprofit, tipping point community just launched the all in campaign that challenges san franciscans in every neighborhood to sign a petition saying they want to help the homeless now. >> it is not okay for just a couple of neighborhoods to bear the brunt of the responsibility for a crisis that affects all of us. >> reporter: you can think of it as the anti- nimbymovement, the goal is to house 1100 people in the next two years, right now there are 268 affordable housing projects in the pipeline in san francisco. most of those bills are concentrated in the east side of the city. this petition asks that each district build something. the goal is to avoid scenes like this. >> no hissing please. >> reporter: a neighbor shouted down mayor london breed on the housing sector proposed on the embarcadero. more than 50 companies, including airbnb and google are backing the all in campaign. >> with the politicians see that there are people behind them who want to solve this problem, they will be bolder and they will know that we have. >> reporter: the question is, will it work? >> there are som

tommy's joint is a place that my husband went to as a child and he's a fourth generation san franciscann 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't lose

i have the honor of introducing rafael mandelman, the district supervisor and native san franciscan. he supported the leather community even before he ran for supervisor and can be seen in local venues periodically. [laughter] now he's reaching out beyond his district's boundaries to take real action to help make spaces like the eagle plaza come into being. his actions to make spaces for leather communities will keep this neighborhood's historic vibrant which will help perpetuate the city as a city for tolerance and acceptance. with that, i present to you rafael mandelman. [applause] >> supervisor mandelman: good morning, everybody. this is such a wonderful morning and as i look out at this crowd of gorgeous people who are doing amazing things in our city for so many causes and communities. i see race bannon. race always deserves a round of applause. [applause] san francisco is a city that does not forget its history. we build on our history. we celebrate our history and make new things happen next to old things and that is part of the magic of the city. and i'm so pleased that this

we need at least two thirds of the votes of san franciscans, and so we're going to be working out there and stomping and doing everything we can to get it done, and i'm going to be counting on each and every one of you. thank you all so much for being here today, and now i want to turn the mic over to my partner in this amazing effort, president of the board of supervisors, norman yee. [applause] >> president yee: thank you very much, mayor breed. this has truly been a partnership. it's almost like a model where we start with another end, and another end, we talked to everybody we could talk to, we figured it out. what is the collaboration that we need? what are the elements that we need? how do we serve all the people in san francisco?

the city needs to you haudit the $ million that we're spending on homeless services and that san franciscan deserve accountability for the money that we've already paid. mayor breed recognized that the existing oversight structures are not sufficient, that there still needs work to be done on that end. this statement by the mayor is a call to action, and this proposal is a direct response to that call for action. we've heard concerns that having a commission in place could slow down services, and believe me, we are the last people that want to see delays in contracting because it affects our ability to keep lights on and provide services, but in our community, there is a strong support for the commission because we believe there will identify delays in contracting and help us campaign for the most critical issues facing our city now. >> good morning, supervisors, but thank you so much for the opportunity. my name is malia chavez, and i'm speaking in behalf of my role as director of hespa, the emergency providers association. i wanted to point out that this was an opportunity for us to reall

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

thank you, ed reiskin, the great public servant, a great san franciscan. [applause] >> walk san francisco wants to share our heartfelt gratitude for ed reiskin for his incredible dedication to public service at the pedestrians. ed, you are absolutely instrumental in getting the city to adopt vision zero in 2014, and you've always taken the goal of ending severe and fatal traffic crashes to heart. you have stood with us at deadly crash sites, any have stood up for the most vulnerable on our streets, and you have worked tirelessly to move our city closer to the pedestrian first city it can and should be. thank you for walking the walk, truly, and all that you have done to create a safer and more sustainable transportation city here. we wish you the best.

>> good afternoon commissioners, tricia weaver, i am the cofounder and a former director of san franciscanr sports and recreation. it is the organization that was formed in 2015 to help save the san francisco tennis club. as a longtime member of the san francisco tennis community, i was quite skeptical of this project initially. the reality is that the project is doing the right thing from the beginning. early on, the project sponsors and san franciscans for sports and recreations reached an it -- mou for the provision of off-site interim tennis courts during project construction. also providing for advanced public benefits in the form of grants to public recreation throughout san francisco. to date, funding for this project has provided $1.864 million in public recreation grants to san francisco. some of the enhancements include the refurbishing of 15 public tennis courts at six different locations, throughout the city, including goldengate heights, musk only recreation center, marina, mclaren park, bonavista park, numerous others with four new court scheduled to be resurfaced with new ne

i hope you will join me today in voting yes on this sensible update that will benefit all san franciscans. >> president yee: can we take this same house, same call? without objection, this ordinance is passed on first reading unanimously. before we go to item 45, supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you, president yee. if it pleases the chair, i would love for us to go back to the committee -- to the board of supervisors sitting as a committee of the whole so we can rescind the vote on item 52 -- 50. we don't have to sit as committee of the whole. we can just rescind the vote. >> president yee: motion made, seconded and with no objection, then, the vote is rescinded. madame clerk, can we take roll -- i guess we don't need to take roll call. can you just name the item again so we know what we're talking about. item 53. we just rescinded the vote for 53, so can you call the item again. >> call the item again and take roll call? >> yes. >> on item 53, supervisor fewer? fewer aye. haney aye. mandelman aye. mar aye. peskin aye. ronen aye. safai aye. stefani aye. walton aye. yee aye.

what we take home with us is the heart that's in this room and how much all of you care about san franciscans and just really seeing this process is amazing. and lastly, malia taught me to look into the camera. and gianna sophia, my daughter, who turned ten today. happy birthday. i'm so proud of you. >> chair fewer: supervisor ronen. >> supervisor ronen: you know, it was somewhat auspicious that we came to our budget on the first night of the democratic debate on t.v., where we saw a return to intelligent policy making, to candidates who care about human beings, and who care about protecting those that need help in our country. and i think that it felt good to see that again at the federal level, and to watch it right here at the local level under the incredible leadership of supervisor chair fewer. i've been through -- primarily as a legislative aide -- my second -- gosh, the time. but i think -- so now i've been through nine budget processes as an aide and a supervisor, and this one, by far, was the best one that i've been through in the past nine years. as supervisor stefani says, it was s

and the district 6 version said paid for by san franciscans for change, major funding by progress sanrancisco. i think all of us in this room know who are behind that committee, but most regular people would have no reason to know. two big things. number one, it will require the dollar amount of the donors to be listed, so that voters get more than a name and an actual piece of data that they can use to say -- to ask if they wish, who's really behind this and what's their agenda. and more importantly, it pierces the shell of fake name committees like that by requiring that progress san francisco in this example, the top two donors to that committee would also have to be listed, and the amount of money they gave to that committee. in addition, the font will have to be bigger and some other cleanup things that make it easier for voters to know. again, we're trying to give voters information and ensuring they really know who's behind the shell committee and how much they gave. only other thing i'll say on that component and i'll get to the last one is some may ask, well, aren't the cleve

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, >> supervisor walton: good morning, everybody. we will now call this july 29, 2019 rules committee to order. i'm going to be sitting in for supervisor ronen, who is absent today. and then, i want to thank supervisor mandelman for sitting in and taking my place today. our clerk today is victor young. and who do we have for sfgov? and today, we have michael baltazar and samuel wick. okay. so first, i'd like to have a motion to excuse supervisor ronen. and with that

we need at least two thirds of the votes of san franciscans, and so we're going to be working out there and stomping and doing everything we can to get it done, and i'm going to be counting on each and every one of you. thank you all so much for being here today, and now i want to turn the mic over to my partner in this amazing effort, president of the board of supervisors, norman yee. [applause] >> president yee: thank you very much, mayor breed. this has truly been a partnership. it's almost like a model where we start with another end, and another end, we talked to everybody we could talk to, we figured it out. what is the collaboration that we need? what are the elements that we need? how do we serve all the people in san francisco? whether you're a teacher, whether you're a senior, whether you're someone who lives in public housing, whether you just simply can't make it because of the salary that you're living on, well, i think we've done it. we've done it. it's a start. is this going to answer every question? probably not, but this is going to be a big, big achievement for san fra

i believe that most san franciscans have become numb to the fact that these are human beings with stories, with dreams and with agency. we numb ourselves because we feel helpless. the problem is too fast, too big for one person to accomplish anything. the opportunity of our navigation center in our neighborhood is one that all san franciscans should support. these navigation centers are controversial. if it is not in our neighborhood , then the problem only persists on our streets and in our alleys and on our sidewalks. please pass this resolution today. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker. >> hello. my name is andrea. i have been a resident of district three for the last 25 years and i am also here to speak in support of the navigation center. as a neighbor who feeds the people in the alleys, and in my role as pizza lady for the past whatever many years, i used to worry at the lower poke benefit districts that cleaned up and beautified each alley and pushed people out, where would they go? where they have gone is closer and closer to navigation centers this is a perfect place and oppor

i am so proud to be a san franciscan and to represent this great city and the california state senated, you know, they sometimes make fun of us and dismiss us. when we declared ourselves a sanctuary city a few decades ago , when we declared marriage equality, when we started needle exchange to try to stop the worst of the aids epidemic, we did all of these things and they laughed at us and said we were crazy, and then guess what? five years later, everyone in california is doing it. ten years later, it is happening across the country. that is what san francisco is about. seeing what is possible and leading. happy pride, everyone.

i want housing here for san franciscans for long term. if someone wants to do corporate rentals, they should declare that and we should talk about that as a project. i understand from the project sponsor that is not the condition here. i would condition the approval on this on that. i would second on that. >> i would like to raise a question, one more time, the private agreements are something we support. i hear two statements which do not link up at all. one person says they have not heard, they weren't even contacted, didn't know anything about the small building. while the other person says this was part of an offer that has been on the table for a long time. we continue this project a number of times to encourage communication, to encourage some sort of settlement. i know we cannot further continue with the project. i would still like to better understand who said what, or who didn't hear home? >> can you shed some light on this? obviously you have an mou with neighbors. who at united save the mission did you communicate with? >> lari
