according to san francisco police department data. however, african american males continue to fall victim to violent crime at an enormously disproportionate rate. according to the sheriff department data and the controllers october 2013 report, 56 percent of the san francisco inmates are african americans while only 6 percent of adult city san francisco are african american. they make-up the single largest demographic groups in jail accounting for the total inmate population. over all the average american population in san francisco continues to plummet increasing by another 16 percent. from 59, 461 to 48, 760 from 2000 census. the overall population is expected to grow considerably. the california department of finance considers the african american population to decline even further by almost 15,000 people by 2050. we are experiencing a crisis in the african american community in san francisco particularly among african american males. as we prepare to celebrate the martin luther king jr. holiday this weekend, what can we as a city

in the city of san francisco particularly broadcast across san francisco's main thorough fair. we welcome to resolution submitted today on this matter. we request this city takes immediate action to remove this false and harmful message to broadcast accurate public health message. san francisco must preach what it practices. we believe that the city of san francisco and california do an outstanding job of improving the access ability and affordable health care and men and women support public health. by approving these banners by public properties, the city continues to undermine the women's private medical decisions and undermine public health. we encourage the board of supervisors to take a strong stand against these banners that lies to the public and we ask you to encourage the women's right to choose for their own reproductive health and urge the board to pass an ordinance to ensure such message will never be displayed in the future. thank you. i have a copy of this statement. >> good afternoon supervisors, thank you so much for letting us testify today. i am opposed to th

i wanted to thank the residents and businesses of san francisco. many of the policies and programings that we have at department of environment are not successful without participation. every resident who puts that can in the recycling bin, the banana peel in the compost, every business with their zero waste program up and running helps us produce zero waste goals. i want to thank you for the opportunity to serve the city of san francisco. it has been a privilege and honor so thank you for this recommendation today. >> congratulations. [applause] >> our next commendation will be provided by our district two colleague, supervisor farrell. >> thank you president chiu. colleagues, so as we continue to struggle in san francisco with keeping our families in here in town and especially speaking as a parent of three children in town, our educational system in our city is a huge part of that and such an important element of our city and i think we'd all agree that so many former members of our board of education here inside of our chambers today and my col

san francisco area. we serve 1,000 children right now and our goal by the end of 2018 is to double that amount of children that are served per year to 2,000. our most important priority right now is to reduce that 83 child waiting list down to zero and we are very pleased to be working with the city and the board of supervisors. supervisor cohen and chiu and sf city in order to reduce and eventually eliminate that waiting list. there are all kind of statistics that show what the power of mentor ship can do for a child in their life. from increased academic performance to increased level of self-confidence to decrease levels of susceptible to join gangs and it's just really simple of just matching a caring adult for a child in need. most of our kids come from single parent households. 10-15 percent of them have an incarcerated parent. we want to help them have a better stronger brighter future. we thank you so much for the special commendation and recognizing the work we do and all the other mentor ship o

that happened outside of san francisco but i truly believe in san francisco as being an [inaudible] type city. if you do have zero fatalities, you will spread a social movement. my story is that. i was involved in a collision where i was hit broad side in a bike lane in a crosswalk. i had stopped at the stop sign and the driver didn't stop at his stop sign. i sustained a severe brain injury and a cone fractured skull and a fractured vertebrae. and i still have seizures. i feel i was doing three important things in my life when i was hit. i was getting my master degree in mental health counseling and i was also learning to teach yoga as well as many other things, working four hours a week as a university counselor. all of those things stop when you're hit by a car and i have faith in the city of san francisco and definitely, definitely having zero fatalities so that you can show the rest of the world the truth that with he need to be more compassionate and human. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> reverend, how are you? >> i'll try to be quick but i need to bring the

welcome to san francisco. stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. let's look at common earthquake myths. >> we are here at the urban center on mission street in san francisco. we have 3 guest today. we have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. i want to talk about urban myths. what do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance? >> he's sleeping during those earthquakes? >> have you noticed him take any special? >> no. he sleeps right through them. there is no truth that i'm aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. >> you hear the myth all the time. suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something >> i hear they are aware of small vibrations. but yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. >> today is a spectacular day in san francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. is this earthquake weather? >> no. not that i have heard of. no such thi

it's an out of control system because what are people living in san francisco and living in san jose. every one of those trips, we're saving all this gas and fuel. no, that's not true. so, my approach is not to do this. not to legalize this program because once you legalize it, it's not going to come, it's going to put extent. you're putting limits on it. i don't think you're going to listen to he me. for the most part, i don't know all of you. like most of the agencies in the city, i dedicated to making the corporations richer and privileging the privileged even more privileged. now, i don't think you're going to pay attention to what i'm saying or the other people here that are opposing this. and i hope when you have passed this, that the people who have been coming out and blocking the buses will come out in even greater numbers because none of this is going to change. not gentrification, not the jobs crisis [speaker not understood] until the people rise up and do something and stopping these buses would be a good starting point. >> matt co wood. christa jones.

that said, if we must have a jail, i do believe that it should be in san francisco. i have a serious concern about families having to go out to san bruno. i have a concern about our volunteers. i work with -- i'm a volunteer with an organization that goes into the jails and i'm concerned about our volunteers having to go out to san bruno into -- away from the area where they live. i volunteer while we live in san francisco, we have to go out there. the families, many of the families do have to take public transportation and there's almost no public transportation out there. it is a long way from here if you've got to take the bus. let me tell you. the last stop is -- maybe you could call it bart, but really it's over there at san francisco state and it's a great hardship for people. we work to help parents, incarcerated parents stay in contact with their children through reading programs. and unfortunately it's hard for the children to visit their parents. we work so hard and the parents are working so hard to stay connected to their families and we need to do everyth

jim lazarus, san francisco chamber of commerce. supervisor kim and supervisor cohen and you, [speaker not understood], i especially enjoy and ivy, a great thanks to you for reaching out early in the process, allowing us to convene numerous members of the business community, small and large employers, to work through a process with the advocates and yourselves on legislation that we're very proud to support. we think this does the right thing for employers and job applicants. to be honest with you, i kind of joked early on when this was introduced that we'd call this fat chance we'd hire a felon ordinance. but it's really far different. it's a fair chance and it's more than a fair chance. it's just the right thing to do as an employer to broaden the scope of the applicants that you have to give them a fair chance at the interview process and to create working -- work opportunities for people that need it the most. and i think so many of our employers that were involved in this process again thank you for opening that to us and comin

thousands of city of san francisco has long walked their dogs for dog walking. they are imposing restrictions that would severely limit san franciscans ability to utilize ggnra and result in a shift from many dogs from the federal urban recreation areas to already over crowded city parks. board of supervisors recently unanimously passed the resolution that i authored to oppose this proposal by the national parks service. congresswoman jackie spears has been very supportive in the opposition to the park services plan and our federal representative democratic leader, nancy pelosi recently sent a letter to the park service asking the park service to extend the public comment period which it subsequently did and also take into account the recreational needs of dog walker's and dog owners at the g gnra. mr. mayor, do you agree that the ggnra plan goes too far in restricting dog access? will you work with the board of supervisors and our federal representative to encourage the national park service to alter the plan, to take into account of the needs of dog owners and

i am a current student at city college of san francisco and resident of san francisco my entire life and therefore i know firsthand what services children and families and those in our jail system need in addition to knowing what services my family still needs in working to reunify with my father. it is absurd to argue that spending money to build a new jail will benefit children of incarcerated parents by providing better [speaker not understood] to interact with our parents and programming in the jail. it would be better to [speaker not understood] and provide sustainable living for us all. funding a new jail will make it harder for my younger sister to successfully grow up in san francisco because there will be less money for books in her school, for healthy food in her cap tier i can't and for a safe place to go after school. it will make it harder for her to thrive. why invest in a new jail rather than the potential of our youth? helping a child or teen know that potential today could very well reduce the need for a new jail tomorrow. san francisco has done a great job of provid

and the first is, if a person is eligible for healthy san francisco, and they go into healthy san francisco. and so again this is a program for uninsured individuals to be eligible you have to live in san francisco. and you have to be between the ages of 18 and 64. and you have to have been uninsured for a period of time and have an income limit, but if you are eligible and not be eligible for other publicly subsidized health insurance. and so, if all of those conditions applied and then the person is put into healthy san francisco. and if those conditions do not apply, if the person lives outside of san francisco, or if they have health insurance through a spouse, for example, and then they are given a city medical reimburse amount account. the city medical reimbursement account works like the health reimbursement account and so they submit it after the fact and but the coverage services is what is covered under the city, mra is different than what is covered under the health reimbursement account. >> they decide what is covered and the funds revert to the employer after 24 months and the
