san franciscans but all of san francisco. that is a system wide level of reduction we are aiming for and we are calling on san franciscans on that and the need to achieve that. we average a demand here in san francisco about 73 million gallons a day. our use is low here in san francisco, approximately 49 gallons per day per residential use. it comes to 88 gallons per resident if you factor in industrial . that is lower than most areas. the key that we have found is really educating people to the need to conserve and really to get meaningful conservation is replacement of plumbing fixtures such as shower heads, toilets, installing faucets and plumbing fixtures and useless water and whether it's through a rebate program. we have some of those as well. those are the ways to get more out there. i think you will be doing a lot of that in the coming months. regarding state departments the mayor issued directives on february 10th to further reduce consumption by 10 percent. since 2008, city departments have reduced their consumption by 22 percent. they have been good conserveers just like the city of san francisco has been. they have t

san francisco support the national policy change which increases the profile of this issue. the department of public health is to protect and promote the health of all city san franciscans. this message is enlightenment. the city and county of san francisco already does many things to ensure we get the low prices for medication. for example the group purchasing organization from hundreds of manufactures. the department also makes the use of the special drug pricing program 340 b drug program which allows the clinics and hospitals to purchase outpatient drugs at deeply discounted rates. the dph in turn provides free drug access to low income, uninsured and under in insured patients through the drug program, but under through the level could this be changed. this resolution is far more reaching and will reach other populations in san francisco where there is the need. for example, some persons have to make large out of pocket copayment to get medications or fight with their drug plan to get the medication they need. they are required to provide high prices which is notable for some notifications. for example, some new medications which are considered breakthroughs which tre

san franciscans and native and county of san francisco employee. i started working in code enforcement for the planning department. i no longer do that. my opinions are my own and i don't reflect on my current employer. while i encourage you to pursue this, i think it is very important to look at the code enforcement function in the city and county of san francisco. my recommendation to you at this point is to look at other jurisdictions and see how they function effectively and in particular there are major jurisdictions such as sacramento, san jose that have a coordinated code enforcement function that is not separated into a multiple departments and they even enforce things such as parking violations. other jurisdictions know how to work together. i know there are issues in san francisco. you have very specialized job classifications, while most other jurisdictions have what is called general code enforcement officers. you may have to look at that. if you were able to create a single code enforcement department, you may have to have more generalized classifications. one suggestion is you should seriously look at the idea of notifying property owners insurance companies when particularly when there is a land use or safety violation because you may get a financial incentive for the property owner to correct the situation if suddenly t

san francisco as a great city can be and is now. we shouldn't let apple or twitter are any other companies getting deals in san francisco that are not available for the average san franciscan. you must release the fox plaza not two for a away from here a coffee shop the lady got her rent raised and she's gun. the other companies won't abide by or when a tenant st. is paying a certainty amount and the landmark can raise the rent you're going to lose tenant and old school people and lose san francisco from what it was. i'm much older than you i imagine you are about 35 or 36. think about it in about it do give overlooking apple or twitter or anyone else you're not going to give deals to mom and pop small businesses >> patricia boyd an individual sense. i'm not against that i want to make sure that the designs you approve if they get chang's changed liquor what happened to us they must come back to this commission for any changes. this is a high commercial district the design is borrowing but i think they could do better but my point is if present the design it should come back to the position if there's changes bus i've lived through that one i'm still getting the complaints

and the average listing price for san francisco homes for sale on trulia was $1.6 million for the week ending january 15th. on top of these figures, 42.9% of san franciscans are rent burdened meaning that they pay 30% or more of their income on rent. and, in fact, in some parts of the city, on the east side of this city, the percentage of their rent burden is even worse. you have 57% of residents in these parts -- in this part of the city, including the bayview, visitacion valley, that are rent burdened, and 54% of residents in the financial district which include soma, potrero hill, mission, but also meet the rent burden definition. it is urgent that we act today to help evicted tenants to continue to live in our city, and more specifically what this piece of legislation does is that it follows the example of what happens at the federal level when the federal government engages in eminent domain. the analysis of what is paid by the federal government looks at the market, and in this case we believe that consistent with the case law, if the objective is to do whatever we can to mitigate -- to mitigate displacements and how tenants stay in san francisco, i

san franciscan, i also share our collective desire to make san francisco more livable for families and to continue to be a city that sends stands strong in protecting the public's health and allows all of our neighborhoods to thrive. as a local legislator and a law maker like the left of us, i also believe that nothing we do is more important than protecting our children's health and the public's health. we're lucky, as i mentioned, that we have strong coalitions for health equity and food access in our neighborhoods, especially in the bayview and the tenderloin. but it's growing in many other neighborhoods, too. and they've been building alliances with doctors, health experts and scientists. some of the best science in the world from ucsf researchers and the center for vulnerable populations and many other pediatricians and ucsf to yale university's center for food policy and obesity studies. they've all helped us develop this measure as we're moving forward today. the science is crystal clear. big soda is causing significant harm to our health and economy. a number of us have held a hearing, and i commissioned a report in december that shows that in san francisco sugary drinks are responsible at the very least for over $50 million of harm to our city's economy. and that's just for obesity and type 2 diabetes alone. so, there's a lot more for oral and dental health, liver damage, and heart damage as well. so, we know the economic harm of big soda and we know that it's much, much higher than that number even from our report. the sugary drinks fee we're proposing today is a reasonable and responsible first step in mitigating the harm. 2 cents per ounce, it's a tax of two pennies per ounce for drinks like this and it's levied on distributors, not on small businesses. the legislation is written so that the revenue generated more than $30 million a year will be used in the most equitable and resourceful ways to counter the many health problems sodas cause. i'll just hold up this picture of a can of coca cola 12 ounces. it probably would raise the cost maybe a quarter, but i don't know if you could see the sugar cubeses lined up. some peopl

representing chevron and our over 6 thousand chevron employees that call san francisco and the bay area their home. as a san franciscan myself i know what a critical role we play and am proud of our programs. i'm especially grifrtd to have with us today at our table 3 representatives of the perry program that aspires women who want to get careers in engineering and have touched over 15 young women. the ficht is named in honor of the laid jacqueline perry one of the first 10 orthopedic surgeons and countless women. i'd like to recognize from the perry initiative dr. lisa (clappin (clapping) actually, if you watch tv you'll see she was honored with a jefferson community service award with her efforts with the perry initiative and we have dr. sawyer (clapping) and outreach program volunteer nadia (clapping) thank you ladies for joining us and for the great work you do in carrying forward dr. perry's noocht. now, it's my great opportunity to introduce san francisco general hospitals san joaquin who is memorialized in song as well (clapping) in her 32 years on the staff at san francisco general san joaquin as annoyed her s

association and met with supervisor david chui in december and the san francisco central station, finally as a life long san franciscan, liquid gold will be my contribution back to the city. and with all of your support i can begin to build a small business that all san franciscans can be a part of and most importantly be proud of, supervisors thank you for your time today and i hope that i have gained your support for my project and i will be available for questions, thank you. >> thank you, very much, mr. lee, do you want to add anything else? >> no. >> supervisor yee? >> thank you, mr. lee for your presentation. but, i have a quick question for you. >> sure. >> you sort of said that most what you will be selling will be local? so, what would you have that is not local? >> what will i have that is not local? >> yeah. >> so... >> what are we talking about that is not local? >> i would say more than 50 to 70 percent of the products that i plan on carrying will be made here in san francisco or in the bay area. the rest will be primarily throughout california. >> okay, thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you, mr. lee. i t

san francisco did. it makes me feel proud to be a city san franciscans. one of the other bonuses in my life is when we went to court to see that people of all races truly lived up to that. and we had public advocates, we had chinese affirmative action and naacp and we also had and women now. and look where we got. we've raised the level of the game too much and i'm really proud of that and i will never forget that moment. in two more minutes i'm going to leave you with the thought that i this i this is one of the greatest police departments on the earth, on the globe, chief at the head of it. it's fantastic. okay. and so now we'll just march on and do greater things and we set the pattern because the things that i mentioned earlier at the time we wanted victoriously. there was not one female police officer in the state of california and a lot of other states. san francisco again set the tone with the people that are attracted to san francisco and hope that continues and i wish to thank everybody for this opportunity to let me take some time off your busy
