so what we're doing is, this a grant with san francisco state. the funding is up for 400 san francisco state pell grant recipients to qualify for free bike share with yearly passes and 300 single-month passes that are not pell grant-eligible. so it's a little bit of a wider umbrella than i originally said in my remarks. it is encompassing some pell grant students as well as those that are not eligible for pell grant but still meet the basic requirements. i just -- i think -- i don't need to say anything else. i'm happy to support the continuance to allow the representatives of the respective companies to come and present and, mr. peskin, i definitely see your point and desire to not further reward bad behavior, but i appreciate you entertaining my concerns about not punishing the young people. thank you. >> thank you very much for the thoughtful conversation. we're happy to bring a new item back. in fact it, with not be a continuation, if you agree to the staff recommendation to the other four items. we can approve that today and come back with a

and my father walter riley met at san francisco state, agitating and , being organizers of the san franciscotate strike -- not the organizers, but some of them. so that strike created the first ethnic studies program now, school, in the united states. so we did not get it because did pass they right measures, but they were forced to. great, i don't know, ---- other thansomething the white voice to get what they wanted. >> maybe somebody did use that along the way, but they had a backup of shutting down the school in order to force the hand. --: if you could talk about regal view, the telemarketer -- and then you have worry free. talk about worry free and then go on to talk about labor -- >> it is interesting because, so, in the film, there's a company called worry free that guarantees you housing and employment for life. they house their workers in the same place -- one way they save money is they house the workers in the same place they produce whatever they produce. it is a lifetime contract. so from purposes, it is slavery. what is weird is i don't know if that company is a legal right no

do you want to offer low income individuals at san francisco state a discounted rate? i don't think that public dollars should go into that. this authority has not thought that. that is why we voted last year to restrict funds from the guaranteed ride home. not to go to t.n.c. i don't want to penalize low income students at san francisco state but i think they have the wherewithal is a $7.5 billion company to do that. i respectfully would oppose that motion. let's see where the votes are out. i'm sorry, there's a whole bunch of folks.

recommendation and moving that recommendation forward to make sure that we aren't just relying on san francisco state or the university of san francisco to provide us teachers. we know we have to find alternatives if we're going to continue to be fully staffed with the highest quality teachers possible. so that is an update on the progress on the areas from the entry plan in the 90-day plan. and one of the areas, after i gave the 90-day progress report, then i talked about one strategy for addressing the needs of the district around or african american student population was the creation of a plan called pitch. pitch was -- is five areas: professional capacity, instructional guidance, transforming mindsets, collaborative culture, and making sure that we have a high quality staff in place, and this was because we wanted to make sure that we were interrupting or figuring out ways to interrupt racial barriers. we identified schools where there was a large gap between our african american students and our white and asian students. and so since that time, the process that we moved forward was that a pitch

san francisco you guys have proposed one of the allowest tax rates in the state, so i can't really be mad at you, but i think you can do better. >> you're welcome. [laughter] >> san francisco has always been a leader and item 20 important to be a leader in progreesessive values in the city and you have the opportunity to lessen the burden on cannabis businesses here. it's already really expensive to do business in san francisco. we have talked about this before of the committee pound effect and i know that you have been looking at it so thank you again for that, but if you have one percent that you moved it too, it is still compounding on each cultivation, manufacture, distribution, retail, plus sales tax, so all we ask is to be treated like every other business in san francisco. if we are going to tax more to help our equity partners and to help with education, sure, but just to tax simply because it's cannabis is not the way to be a leader in the state of california. thanks. thanks. >> good afternoon, supervisor cohen and supervisor fewer. i want to echo support from any of my colle

[please standb -- at the same time, what that does is gives them free advertisement. and eventually, capitalize on that free advertisement to have other people essentially pay for the services. so my question was in considering offering initially $56,000 to lyft, do they have a matching fund in this? do they have anything that they're putting into this? >> so the grant is going to be administered by s.f. state and there are discounted memberships for low-income people, $$5 for the first year and then $60. so we would provide the subsidy f

i want to talk to highlight three points where i think that san francisco's still falling short of the required state standards for a.d.u.s. first, san francisco's required to allow one accessory dwelling unit in proposed single-family home. this change went into effect in 2017 at the state level. so my understanding is that this will be amended, the san francisco ordinance will be amended, to prohibit a.d.u.s in new construction. and i'm asking that that not happen. second, san francisco applies communication discussion review to a.d.u.s that expand the envelope of existing single-family homes. i believe this is also contrary it state law standards that require ministerial review processes. so i would ask that the ordinance be exempts from discretionary review notification. lastly, the way that san francisco applies the open space requirements is contrary to state law. they're not listed as permitted by state law and applies independently or san francisco applies a second requirement in the home and there should be only one requirement for the single-family home. i hope the board will consider makin

i attended san francisco state university. i ended up with three consecutive combat tours in iraq, afghanistan, and kosovo, and in my last assignment in the pentagon, i worked very closely with an organization that was focused on trying to get critical assets and resources to the folks that needed it the most. and i'd like to think i'd be able to help do the same for the veteran's affairs commission as far as the folks that we'd be representing. as far as who i am and what i -- what i -- what the reasons are for my desire to serve on the commission, that's pretty much the indepth detailed analysis that i can provide you in a brief three-minute presentation, and i stand ready for any questions you may have. >> supervisor safai: great. thank you. we'll call you back up if we have any additional -- if we have some questions. i think we're going to hear from the chair of the committee, mr. chesney. >> victim. victor olivari, i'm here to speak on behalf of georgia ellis, george isshikata, and matthew brauer. these are the people th

and you had a presentation a couple of weeks ago from san francisco state. they're trying to do the right thing. you need to approve this housing. we are really beleaguered in the city by students competing for housing when they should be accommodated by the institution, and the smart institutions are building housing to keep the student students' rents down as well as keep them a part of the campus. people like san francisco state need to be encouraged because you don't have jurisdiction over them, so encourage them. encourage u.c.s.f.. you also don't have jurisdiction over them. and they also need to be encouraged. this is monumental. if we can leave some of the -- if we can relieve some of the pressure on the housing in the neighborhoods, including monticello street, it is not too much to really look at these projects and find out how they're accommodating housing and doing the right thing. i really appreciate c.c.a. separate and also want to thank them for hiring the company they did. they have had some great people traditionally in the city. they have a

the individuals were largely students of san francisco state university. following the planning code and d.b.i. violations, the property began -- the property owner began working towards compliance, slowly vacating the house and working on the building permit application before you today. the property remains vacant once it was cleared out after that group housing violation. and in addition, the property owner paid the planning department nearly $30,000 in enforcement fees for that violation. while the property owner originally proposed to legalize all the unpermitted alterations, the planning department worked with the property owner to remove certain features that were not necessary. preservation staff reviewed the front facade and gave ceqa clearance for the stucco conversion while planning staff reviewed the number of bedrooms and bathrooms in the house. in the end, the final number was ensuring that each bedroom was livable and the dwelling had sufficient living space to accommodate all of those bedrooms. the final tally was ten bedrooms and six full

maybe not as much as you think. >> that's according to a study at san francisco state university.esearchers found while we can decide to think about seven things other information including activities can enter our subconscious and cause us to think about something else. they call these sets. understanding how sets work could have implications for the way we absorb information and choose to act or not. >> interesting. it's not my fault if i'm always thinking about pizza. >> yeah. >> do you act upon that, though? >> too often. >> nothing wrong with that. >>> let's talk about what's going on weather wise, thinkin about what's going on as far as the heat and how you will deal with it the next couple days. sfo where we've got some cloudiness this morning and it's the possibility of some delays that i'll be keeping an eye on. follow me on twitter @mike nicco abc 7. i will let you know when they let us know. my accuweather highlights. sunny, slightly warmer today. clouds return, drizzle near the coast tonight and the extended the warmth we build is going to ease back to comfortable leve

me, that was averted, and so that is the kind of thing we've done here in san francisco is to continue to coordinate with our state and federal officials to make sure that san francisco is in the best condition to address any issue. it's not a question of, you know, when is an earthquake coming. we don't know. we know the fact that it is going to potentially come because this is earthquake country. and so here in san francisco, it's important for us to be prepared, so please make sure

task force whose job is to maintain and preserve the history in san francisco, our san francisco japantown, one of three in the united states, the other two being in los angeles and san jose. our goal is to have japantown thrive as a cultural economic and vibrant neighborhood which will serve as a heart of the japanese american and japanese speaking communities for generations to come. we support the goal of this proposed ballot initiative to have a dedicated mechanism of funding for culture and arts in the city. since japantown is a designated cultural district and has developed a cultural heritage and sustained economic strategy, there needs to be a funding source to support the strategy. we urge you to support this proposed ballot initiative. i'm a san francisco fire commissioner, 24 years. before that, i was a san francisco art commissioner, vice president. at the time, in the years, what occurred was we had these concepts called cultural center does, and at the time there were -- centers, and at the time, there were very few. all of them became an initiative within that. the concept was trying to have sustainable fundi

my name is jennifer beach and i teach at san francisco state university and i work with san francisco showing up for racial justice. my daughter was raised in bayview. i'm intimately involved in the communities affected by these gang injunctions. anything that criminalizes the black and brown in our city isn't serving our city. it's been made very clear. i want to thank jeff adachi for his eloquent explanation of the problem with gang injunctions. but i just want to remind the city who you are representing in front of me right now that we have an opportunity to make a statement about racist criminalizing practices, that as we face a period where increased incarceration and lifts of people who get special charges for expressing themselves, that really is fascism, we have to ask ourselves did we decide to do that? we decided not to do that, because the liberties we give up and the communities that are impacted are not something we are willing to give up. so i just want to encourage you to look at the broader social situation and the importance of making very strong statements against ra

let's be clear in our intention, the city and county of san francisco is a sanctuary city. the state of california is as well a sanctuary state. and i.c.e. has committed the most heinous crimes imaginable by putting children in cages on cold cement floors, telling them not to touch each other and drugging them if they don't obey. i.c.e. has created a climate of intimidation that threaten the people in our city. the people have spoken and you, too, have spoken loud and clear and publicly. let us declare that we don't recognize their power nor do they have any jurisdiction here and we demand that they must disband immediately. all employees of i.c.e. that disavow themselves the purpose of i.c.e. will be assisted obtaining work by the trade unions. i.c.e. is an acronym for illegal corporate exploitation. this government will track down all corporations who have crossed borders and exploited the work force and countries they've invaded. on july 10, 2018, san francisco stands by its commitment to sanctuary and demand that i.c.e. shut down all its operations and the state of california rev

san francisco and the san francisco green party. first, i would reiterate everything that miss lynch just said, and getting our input on the state level is crucial. we can't just let the cpuc doing thdoits own thing on this and we have to push the way that sfpuc pushes them on clean energy. this is one of the things that i work on. and i have been meeting with taxi drivers. and there are a lot of things that we might be able to do that should be included in this study. one of the problems that we face is out-of-town drivers. well, i believe that you may be able to put a fee out to-of-town drivers to make it so expensive for them to do that that they stop coming in. because that's one of the main problems. and another problem is the situation of uber being kind of the middle person or the middle entity on this, and collecting profits for now good reason. one thing that's new that should be included in this study is electronic currencies. we're moving away from credit cards and cash to electronic currencies on phones and things like that. and some of the new electronic currencies that are emerging could literally be created as local cur
