i'm a second generation san franciscan. my granddaughters are fourth generation. >> i've worked in oversight in san francisco since 1983 when we established the office of citizen complaints. >> i'm a past president of nikole the national association for civilian oversight of law enforcement. >> having worked with the police commission for many years, i'm i know how important it is to have commissioners who are independent and are concerned about the importance of policies and setting policies that are within national guidelines. >> max carter over seven has shown his serious commitment to ensuring our police department policies are developed to keep all san franciscans safe and by limiting discretionary stops and passing legislation and opposing legislation that we voted last year to allow more police chases. >> we all saw the impact of that nip add new policy with the super bowl accident that caused many, many people to go to san francisco general general hospital. >> i've been told that this shortsighted and wrong minded r

so much effort has been made to take care of developers who either build housing san franciscans don't need or gather entitlements and build nothing. today's hearing represents a significant step forward toward housing element implementation that takes into consideration what san francisco's san franciscans truly need and we hope that this actually represents a step in a new direction where we really do prioritize the needs of san franciscans. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon commissioners . i'm tran. i'm here with the san francisco antitrust replacement coalition. my role at the coalition is the tenant counselor network coordinator. and this is a citywide network of over 300 direct services providers from many of our different counseling and legal services organizations. and their main job is to counsel tenants. so you've heard from tenants here today and a lot of the staff who do council tenants and i want to give a bit more of the framework behind some of the data that you saw from atc. every year we work with our member organizations around seven or a tenant counseling org

it's where we greet our guests, where we welcome visitors not only locally our san franciscans, our bay area residents, our northern californians but internationally all over the world and nationally. this is us. this is what we represent. we can't move. the convention center west of twin peaks we can't move union square in 12,000 hotel rooms anywhere else. it is here and we have to continue to invest. when people come to visit us for two days, three days a convention just coming into town because they've heard so many wonderful things about our world class city, we want to put our best foot forward and guess what? that is? that is our food and beverage. that is our nightlife. that is the essence that makes san francisco so unique. that is our people. that is our culture. that is our innovation. and if we can't put that front and center right here in 27, 30, 40 city blocks, we are failing and we aren't failing anymore. a light switch went off. the energy is alive. this weekend showed us that our city is all about it. it was in credible and it's going to stay that way. i'm excited for wh

they were overruled by san franciscans who don't have to put up with the extra neighborhood traffic.e spoke with a disabled senior who lives nearby. >> if i try to cross the street, i can't run out of the way. it makes it very dangerous. you have heavy traffic, you're going to have more accidents. >> the new park the city is asking folks to help them pick a name. people can submit ideas until march 16th, the name will be finalized in early april. >>> in oakland, four fire stations will remain open after all, through at least the end of this fiscal year. they had been on a closure list, but oakland is back to the drawing board to try to figure out where to get $130 million. that's their budget shortfall. they have other options, a hiring freeze, the cancellation of two police academies, and general layoffs. the captain says the cutbacks have put a strain on firefighters. >> everyone in the department's workload has gone up because the calls haven't stopped. so every year the oakland fire department responds to nearly 80,000 calls for service, and those 80,000 calls are going to happen

i want to rebuild the trust that san franciscans have for our agency and i think part of how we do that is acknowledging that people in san francisco are not defined by their transportation choices and in fact most people in san francisco are making a lot of different choices on how they get around. >> nobody is just a biker or just a muni rider or just a driver. i'm an example of that. you know i take muni to work except on the days that i drive my daughter to school and i walk to most of my meetings during the day i walked here but when i have to get out to one of our bus divisions i'll often drive on the weekends. you know my family is really excited when we have time to ride a bike or walk to a new neighborhood and we also rely on transit and driving and taxis and and rideshare. >> so i'm trying to bring to this role how i get around because i think it's indicative that we're all making choices that work best for us all the time. >> my approach is that it's not nor has it ever been a zero sum game. we must find solutions that involve everyone no matter how they get around and we nee

we i understand as a san franciscan born and raised as well i'm proud of this city.you know i know it takes time to develop a team like you did right now and it's la quinta right? new born new member. so congratulations and thank you. i know we all work hard and i know there's a lot of work to be to be done but to lighten it up a bit i just you know, that's what we're here because there's so much work to be done. >> but to lighten it up a bit i just think that it's encouraging to hear that the program is fullest staff were dedicated team including la quinta who is committed to ensuring its success. this dedication reflects the importance of serving the community and continuing to make meaningful progress. i would like to say let's focus on the positive steps being taken while also remaining mindful of the work ahead and that's pretty much all i want to say. i just i support everything that i chair. scott dr. scott has said as well as our commissioner bracket and of course we have so much work but let's keep the momentum going. thank you. we're human beings. yes. you

and that's not how you know, at least in san francisco, that's how san franciscans want to treat problem. they're there is like you said i remember in the early nineties uh, those of us who were covering this issue wrote a lot about compassion. that was that mean in the eighties there was a big push. once homelessness had become a crisis, there was a big push to try to address it, uh, and it didn't go away because all the factors, that lead to it haven't been adequately addressed national mental health care, wages, housing, poverty so there was compassion fatigue and then toward the late nineties there was okay, there was another push to, to create more supportive housing. and then in the early 2000s, there was more, uh, there was more attention to, to housing and street outreach. and then, uh, you came along with veterans and hud bash or hud vash and, and just regular section eight housing vouchers were ramped up. um, there's always pushback for spending money on those, those issues, which i think is a tragic push me pull. you know, we make some progress and then funding gets cut or fun

for the first time, san franciscans had a connection from the bay to the ocean tide. the taraval street cars brought development people could access the south western neighborhoods. homes and buildings sprung up from the once empty dunes. this vielth east/west corridor is the spine the neighborhood carrying over 30,000 daily riders when service last ran the route in 2019. today, it is a bustling local business that give this area its flavor fr. cafes to quirky but teaks the taraval connects tout best of san francisco's small business scene. >> i lost fact it is not a money on cultural it is multicult rar. korean, chinese. vietnamese. french. italian. we got irish. we got a lot of good mix on this street of restaurants and businesses in those cultural veins and good ole american. helping local line help our small businesses because this is again a small community. and the traffic here is not if you have to generate big revenue. with the l train from other parts of the city to this area has help us the small merchants as well to generate more business. >> taraval street

resistant to changing and changing our opinion as well i think that is a reason we are seeing so many san franciscansecially within the last couple elections have expressed this we keep voting on the issues. every politician promises to solve the problem in their own way but it is never getting solved. >> we also see people moving out of san francisco because we can't fix the problems. and those cities are being also like having more housing problems as well. >> to add on, i think from not even two years i have been involved in san francisco politics i see so many patterns. the same prop every year and named a different prop. there is no change. that is why it is important to sit together and have conversation like this and i think that is why being involved in politics as youth has been such an enlighting experience. i it is uncomfortable but i think discomfort brings positive changeism i find arguing with other youth commissionsers. i realize blind sfauts and where i can im prove by listening to other people and think why youth involvement in politics is important because you are exposed to differe

it's and we're trying to do our best to keep things going at a level of of quality that we think san franciscans deserve. thank you, larry. thank you. first want to thank antonio and his team for taking this task up. it's not an easy one. i know we have some hard decisions to make so thank you guys for all your hard work putting this together. but i do have some questions and probably comments so give me some clarifications on a few things. so in the budget we want to raise the green fees for golf and we're also going to put an rfp out for golf courses. which ones? all five i think still is still in policy development and i kind of think a couple of the folks that came to public comment are absolutely right. there needs to be a business plan and some analysis. we were further along than i think people think because lincoln and sharpe and a few of our courses apart from harding in particular you know have been on long term month to month leases and we have dana ketchum and her team have been exploring the feasibility of different types of arrangements to to make those management agreements or lea

a nonprofit partner that we work with in san francisco where that can be resold as lumber to san franciscans. the cost of that program, as morris mentioned, is basically one fte at recology to handle that material. >> as morris mentioned, we are looking we support the free mattress recycling program and we are the only county in san francisco that does not have free mattress drop off. and as you could see we see mattresses all over the city. we are hoping this will reduce the amount of illegal dumping if we have more free options for people to drop off their mattresses. >> we're looking we're projecting it's going to double the amount of mattresses we'll be accepting. so right now there's about 5000 mattresses that recology recycles. this may bring in about 10,000. so that's roughly 250 tons of recycled material per year. this also supports our circular economy goal and as morris mentioned there's one fte at recology that will support this quickly. >> does the bulky item pick up process doesn't capture? yes that one that program currently picks up mattresses and that's through a schedule pro
