and i appreciate the patience and the understanding of so many san franciscans as we go through this process. keep in mind san francisco has done an amazing job through this pandemic. i know that we're tired of being indoors. i know that we're tired of the schools being closed and not being able to connect with our friends and family. i'm tired of this too. i understand how important it is to get back to our lives. i understand that more than anyone, because i feel the responsibility, the weight of this entire city, and every single resident. i feel that on my shoulders every single day. but i'm asking for more patience and understanding and trust that we will continue to do everything that we can to get these vaccines out the door. in fact, tomorrow i'll be having a conversation at 1:15 online with dr. susan philip and dr. naveena baba, who are two incredible women who have helped to lead this effort from the beginning so that we can ask questions about some of the concerns that i've been seeing from people who are wondering, well, why is this happening and that's not happening. why

we know that there are a lot of san franciscan

we can put san franciscans back to work by harnessing the power of public investments. we will strengthen our seawall, build parks, police and fire stations, and mental health facilities, and improve public transportation. yes, public transportation is the lifeblood of a great city, and making muni work -- better than ever -- is critical to our economic recovery. in all, i plan to move forwar on more than $3.5 billion in city projects. just this week, for example, we opened our new navigation center in the bayview. this 200-bed shelter will serve some of our most vulnerable residents. but the project also created 330 jobs, during the height of the pandemic. that's 330 people who can provide for themselves and their families. and our recovery also needs to be about the arts, our cultural institutions and culturally diverse neighborhoods, and the public spaces we all miss so much. we will also help music venues, clubs and bars -- who have lost so much -- get reopened and get back on their feet. 2020 was a year like nothing we've ever experienced. this terrible pandemic to

underscore this, that where we have a site, like, a website or a 311 or whatever it is, that a san franciscan can call and get information about all of the sites that may be available to them, to get a vaccine, we not only not to include all of the ones in san francisco, we may need to include all the regional ones. because if the state or city is doing all the ones at the coliseum, and you can get there by b.a.r.t., we should let them know about that, and we have a responsibility to know about that. >> i agree with that, supervisor. >> i'm not saying -- i understand sort of the challenges, especially for kaiser, who's certainly people all over the bay area, they want to come to san francisco and get theirs here, and we're going to put a lot of energy and investment and time into that, we should also make sure that our folks have access to other opportunities around the region, as well. i really think it's important that people can see all of the sites around them as available to as great extent as possible and make appointments around the site. we've begun to have something like that availab

san franciscans have spoken loud and clear we need to move homes out of the speculative market. we're fed up with reacting every time this housing market acts. it's crucial that the board listens to the people of san francisco and that they support the needs of workers and rk woulding families who do the labor of supporting the city -- working families who do the labor of supporting the city that they call home. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> hi, supervisors. this is teresa flandrick. i'm calling in support of this legislation. we need to release the funds right now, especially the funds in terms of rent relief. one example is mary, who's a 79-year-old woman with an immune disorder. her roommate moved out, and so she was suddenly stuck with the entire rent. she was able to make an agreement with the landlord to pay half of the rent now and has been doing that. shelter in place has meant she could not take in anyone else, again, with an immune disorder. so with this, she is not going to be able to repay that rent. it's no doubt up to at least $14,

so people -- san franciscans 75 plus account for 8% of the san francisco population. and they have received 20% of the vaccines distributed in san francisco. so not surprising because we've been really focusing on the population 75 and over. similarly, 65 to 74-year-olds represent 9% of the san francisco population have received 26% of the vaccines. these other blue bars for people younger than this, for the most part would represent a healthcare workers in that phase 1a stage of our prioritized very early on. you can see the distribution of vaccine accordingly. next slide. this is looking at vaccine demographics by race and ethnicity. again these data will be very much influenced by the focus on healthcare workers and the focus on people 65 and over. and again just to orient you to the slide, at the bottom you'll see the distribution of population in san francisco, 4 % of the population is estimated to be white, the vaccine distributed throughout san francisco has been delivered to people who identify as white. and you can see the other comparisons by race, ethnicity

very hopeful that we can continue to work to bring those resources to bear and support those san franciscansd it, those worker who is lost work or struggling or getting ready to come back even stronger. >> well, that's very useful. you have given us some great information today, mr. arsay. thank you so much for coming on the show. awe thank you. thank you, chris. >> well, thank you, again. and that is it for this episode. we'll be back with more pandemic-related information shortly. you have been watching coping with covid-19. for sfgov tv, i'm chris manners. thanks for watching. >> van ness avenue runs from market street to bay street in san francisco. south vanness runs from south of market to cesar chavez street. originally residential after the 1906 earthquake it was used as a fire break. many car dealerships and businesses exist on vanness today with expansion of bus lanes. originally marlet street was named after james vanness, seventh mayor of san francisco from 1855 to 1856. vanness heavy are streets in santa cruz, los angeles and fresno in his honor. in 1915 streetcars started the o

don't know how much vaccine is going to be available for that program and what it will mean for san franciscans at this point? >> yes. yeah, we heard i think it's going to include about 100 pharmacies across california, so you know, the number in san francisco probably won't be a huge number to start with. >> one or two or five, whatever, something small. okay, and you'd said that we're -- and we have said, and the issue that i'm now telling everyone this, the issue is not our infrastructure, although we need to set that up, but it's the lack of doses. it's the lack of supply. do we have the staffing? i mean, do we have in place what would need to be in place actually if we had 10,000 doses a day? is there going to be a point at which we actually do have some other constraints on our ability to deliver those? right now we don't because we don't have that, but are we going to have that staffing problem at some point? in a good world where we actually do get supply? >> director, i don't know if you want to talk about the mass sites, but we are getting flooded by people who want to volunteer. i an

and it's really causing a lot of frustration amongst many san franciscans.and i just want, you know, either one of you or both of you to talk about the fact that we have prepared for this early on. we're getting the vaccines out as quickly as we can. and how well we're doing in san francisco, especially compared to other places, even though it might seem confusing, especially because of the second dose. tell us your perspective as the two leaders of this effort, you know, how you believe san francisco is doing? and how we can anticipate that we will do even better, especially once we get the supply? >> yeah, i'll start and dr. phillip, you can finish. so in terms of our planning, our planning started as soon as we heard that the vaccine trials were occurring and they were promising results. over the summer, we started planning over this and we dusted off the previous summer with h1n1. when we came to fall, the flu vaccine clinics as a model, even though the flu vaccine, the requirements around storage is different, we have to think about what is the impact o

it's for san franciscans age 65 years and older they expect to give out roughly 1400 shots every dayough tuesday february 23rd. the reason why they have such big lines is because no appointments are necessary. it's just drop him. the hospital's chief medical officer explains why they switch to this model we were realizing is that with our elderly population tied to the more we put up sort of road blocks in terms of like having a schedule an appointment getting on the web calling someone. >>those treated barriers that prevented him from coming in to get the appointments and so we decided probably just a couple of days ago to remove any barriers they say the reason they have the vaccine here where others don't is simply because of the supply chain. they expect to run out by next week if they don't get any more doses in those waiting in this long line say they've been having a hard time getting the shots elsewhere. it was the only game in everybody else. >>i out of the vaccine, kaiser whom live insurance west. >>and i got my doctor's blessing get it wherever you can i can get appointmen

this is a higher number than the state recorded number of san franciscan residents who have been vaccinated so far. because the majority of people vaccinated to date have been health care workers in san francisco. and more people work here than live here, we have a disproportionate responsibility for vaccines relative to our population size. as far as knowing when it's your turn and how to get an appointment. we have set up a website at sfgov/getnotified and people can check their priority status, so based on your age and type of employment. and sign up for an email or text message when your priority group is authorized to be vaccinated. there will be links to sites where you can make an appointment. as we get more and more sitings online and as our vaccine ramps up, that's the area, so sfgov/getnotified and you can see what groups are available. right now because the supply is so limited, there can be limited vaccine appointments but keep checking back and as we get more and more supply, and more and more appointments will open up. it is though for us and for the system in general importan

i am a native san franciscan, third generation, and i am the current president for the asian-pacific american alliance, the san francisco chapter. i'm here to support larry yee and believe that he would do a fabulous job for our community. when i say "community," it's not just the asian community. he is a person that will stand up, and if you see his tall stature, he will stand out and he will be there to be a listener to all communities. he's someone who i've worked with very closely where he's somebody who has the foresight and someone who will think clearly at the facts and then move on and speak out. so i see larry yee being a person of character that -- let's put it this way, he would be an asset to all san franciscans. thank you very much. >> chair: does that conclude public comment? mr. clerk. >> clerk: do we have any additional public comment? >> operator: no more callers in the queue. >> chair: public comment on item 4 is closed. is sophia kipler on behalf of mayor breed present? >> yes, i am here. >> chair: i just want to confirm pursuant to the earlier words that i uttered

san franciscans got encouraging news that the school district in the unions for school workers have a tentative agreement in place for a return to in person learning. there's a sense of relief knowing that we're on the path to a safe re opening of our schools. teachers would return in the red tear with vaccines and in the orange here without the superintendent of schools says so far, five schools are ready to reopen and as many as 20 or so elementary schools could be in that first wave to reopen with no more than 14 students per classroom. big part of it could be a hybrid. learning where some students are learning at home. some students are learning in the classroom. we talked about the fact that there would be certain days or there could be certain days when students are present and then part of their learning could be back at home. more schools would reopen as they complete inspections and meet safety precautions. but the superintendent says there are still a lot of details to be worked out right now. what we're ramping up to do is, you know nail down the details of exactly what tha

underscore this, that where we have a site, like, a website or a 311 or whatever it is, that a san franciscan can call and get information about all of the sites that may be available to them, to get a vaccine, we not only not to include all of the ones in san francisco, we may need to include all the regional ones. because if the state or city is doing all the ones at the coliseum, and you can get there by b.a.r.t., we should let them know about that, and we have a responsibility to know about that. >> i agree with that, supervisor. >> i'm not saying -- i understand sort of the challenges, especially for kaiser, who's certainly people all over the bay area, they want to come to san francisco and get theirs here, and we're going to put a lot of energy and investment and time into that, we should also make sure that our folks have access to other opportunities around the region, as well. i really think it's important that people can see all of the sites around them as available to as great extent as possible and make appointments around the site. we've begun to have something like that availab

so people -- san franciscans 75 plus account for 8% of the san francisco population. and they have received 20% of the vaccines distributed in san francisco. so not surprising because we've been really focusing on the population 75 and over. similarly, 65 to 74-year-olds represent 9% of the san francisco population have received 26% of the vaccines. these other blue bars for people younger than this, for the most part would represent a healthcare workers in that phase 1a stage of our prioritized very early on. you can see the distribution of vaccine accordingly. next slide. this is looking at vaccine demographics by race and ethnicity. again these data will be very much influenced by the focus on healthcare workers and the focus on people 65 and over. and again just to orient you to the slide, at the bottom you'll see the distribution of population in san francisco, 4 % of the population is estimated to be white, the vaccine distributed throughout san francisco has been delivered to people who identify as white. and you can see the other comparisons by race, ethnicity

don't know how much vaccine is going to be available for that program and what it will mean for san franciscans at this point? >> yes. yeah, we heard i think it's going to include about 100 pharmacies across california, so you know, the number in san francisco probably won't be a huge number to start with. >> one or two or five, whatever, something small. okay, and you'd said that we're -- and we have said, and the issue that i'm now telling everyone this, the issue is not our infrastructure, although we need to set that up, but it's the lack of doses. it's the lack of supply. do we have the staffing? i mean, do we have in place what would need to be in place actually if we had 10,000 doses a day? is there going to be a point at which we actually do have some other constraints on our ability to deliver those? right now we don't because we don't have that, but are we going to have that staffing problem at some point? in a good world where we actually do get supply? >> director, i don't know if you want to talk about the mass sites, but we are getting flooded by people who want to volunteer. i an

we know that there are a lot of san franciscan residents, as well as san francisco essential workers and health care workers that are most likely getting the vaccines in other counties. we are still struggling to get that data, so these numbers could potentially be hiring than what we're seeing. and once we have that data, we will share it with the public. the next slide. to be clear who is eligible now: health care workers, long-term care residents, people 65 and older. i have some good news: starting february 26th, san francisco will move to phase 1b, tier 1, and eligible people in that next phase include education and child care workers, our emergency services workers, including our police officers, our food and agricultural employees, and those -- that's a really exciting thing, that we're going to be able to expand the number of people who are eligible in the next two weeks, but to also reiterate that the vaccine supply is still limited. so for resources, on the next slide, you can sign up at s f.gov/notify, and you can make an appointment at s f.gov/get vaccinated, or call 3-1-

you know, give us the opportunity to show once again that san francisco and san franciscans are willing to make hard choices around something that is truly going to get them to be proud of their city. what does a full city-wide slow streets program look like? what does an entire city-wide protected bikes program look like? what does a completely new definition of how you get around the city, what would it look and feel like and how much would it cost? because i think that it's going to be hard to get those across the finish line is my guess. and the last is to protect the core. which was a lot of what jonathan, you know, his presentation was about earlier and really getting a sense of because we are a board in this particular time of both economic and of public health danger, like, what do we need to do to protect the very core functions of this agency? and how to make sure as a board that we're stewarding the agency to do just that? those are the three pieces. give us something that the public can rally around, protect the core, and what to do with that. >> that's exactly the advice th

also, i'd like to share my gratitude to all san franciscans for their passage of proposition c which made it possible for me to even dream to be here today and to ask for your consideration for my appointment. i'm asking you to consider my appointment for the immigrant rights commission because i deserve a seat at the table to speak on behalf of the un documented community who has been left out of the table and to public service. rights are won only by those who make their voices heard. everyone on -- serving on this body is important for me as a daca immigrant. i am an immigrant from brazil and have been undocumented for almost 20 years. it is time that we appoint real leaders that actually are living an experience every day the challenges of being undocumented. i myself have survived the challenges of dealing with xenophobia during trump era and have fought so that all san franciscans have a seat at the table. i have a background in economic justice and racial equity. i bring my lived experience and years of [indiscernible] experience advocating for a myriad of issues affecting mil

and it's really causing a lot of frustration amongst many san franciscans.and i just want, you know, either one of you or both of you to talk about the fact that we have prepared for this early on. we're getting the vaccines out as quickly as we can. and how well we're doing in san francisco, especially compared to other places, even though it might seem confusing, especially because of the second dose. tell us your perspective as the two leaders of this effort, you know, how you believe san francisco is doing? and how we can anticipate that we will do even better, especially once we get the supply? >> yeah, i'll start and dr. phillip, you can finish. so in terms of our planning, our planning started as soon as we heard that the vaccine trials were occurring and they were promising results. over the summer, we started planning over this and we dusted off the previous summer with h1n1. when we came to fall, the flu vaccine clinics as a model, even though the flu vaccine, the requirements around storage is different, we have to think about what is the impact o

san franciscans will conserve water. in fact, they are. and if they go deep into conserving water they're not going to get any money. it doesn't mean they have to waste water. but stop telling san franciscans what to do when basically and fundamentally they cannot do a needs assessment on the leaky pipes and marketing on why should we flush our toilets with clean drinking water. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. madam secretary, there are no more callers in the cue. >> president maxwell: thank you. any comments? >> no. >> president maxwell: okay, mic is on, thank you. all right, may i have -- it's moved and seconded. may i have a roll call vote, please. >> clerk: [roll call vote] you have five ayes. >> president maxwell: thank you. next item, please. >> clerk: madam president, i reannounce that item 19 is removed from the agenda and will be rescheduled and the next item is item 20, authorize the general mother to execute a memorandum of understanding with the modesto irrigation district and the turlock irrigation district and the fish

we ask san franciscans if they would take up the offer and move from the 415 to the real five. >> i was thinking about moving to miami, you know. because the taxes, the taxes are not so high over there. >> they will be underwater in like a few years anyway. >> there is going to be a search of companies and employees who are ready to take advantage of the pandemic, the post-pandemic economy. how are we putting sentences go in the forefront of that? right now there is not strong plans coming from the city. >> since the start of the pandemic many companies have implement policies allowing employees to work from home, permanently. so would you do it? would you move to miami? you can weigh in on our social media pages using the hashtag kpix. >>> just last year, hewlett- packard enterprises announced that it will be locating its headquarters for san jose to houston, texas. the shift to remote work, many companies are questioning the high cost of living in the bay area, and the states have the taxes. earlier today, the mayor was asked about how he plans to address concerns from top business le

where sufficient amount of san franciscans are vaccinated, we open up mass vaccination sites. this administration will deploy enough supplies where the lion share of folks can get it done. i really hope that once that happens, museums are able to be open and small businesses can reopen and educational institutions can return to life that our agency is fully ready to switch that light on so we don't -- we can try to accommodate all those businesses and institutions that are going to need us to get people specifically back to soma and downtown. i wonder disturb don't have to u don't have to answer this now. what that balances between trying take advantage of the time that we have and not missing the boat. in the case that there comes a moment over the summer where it actually turns out that we can all open again. it's time to try to find way to get the lights back on. >> i want to build on that question. not only does it relate how we approach infrastructure which is more flexible and we do have the ability to start or stop if we see ground swell of mobility. refer you back to d

this is a higher number than the state recorded number of san franciscan residents who have been vaccinatedr. because the majority of people vaccinated to date have been health care workers in san francisco. and more people work here than live here, we have a disproportionate responsibility for vaccines relative to our population size. as far as knowing when it's your turn and how to get an appointment. we have set up a website at sfgov/getnotified and people can check their priority status, so based on your age and type of employment. and sign up for an email or text message when your priority group is authorized to be vaccinated. there will be links to sites where you can make an appointment. as we get more and more sitings online and as our vaccine ramps up, that's the area, so sfgov/getnotified and you can see what groups are available. right now because the supply is so limited, there can be limited vaccine appointments but keep checking back and as we get more and more supply, and more and more appointments will open up. it is though for us and for the system in general important metr
