and this is to improve the quality of our lives in san francisco. this is to generate income for san franciscans and for those who work in san francisco and this is to help increase the city's operating revenue because the majority of my family, relatives and friends rely on high-speed internet access in order to work at home in san francisco. their children also rely on high-speed internet disos do homework in san francisco. the group opposed to give san francisco high-speed internet access do now represent our voices. they do not represent san francisco. san francisco wants better and more choices on high-speed internet access. vote yes for at&t to invest in san francisco and vote yes to improve the quality of our lives, and by the way, ugly san francisco is not caused by the cabinet, it's caused by social problems. we need to address the social problems. president chiu: next speaker. >> good evening, ladies and gentlemen, my name is susan finnegan. i live in parkerside -- parkside and i suspect i'm representative of a lot of people in san francisc

it says that san francisco rules shelby followed by san francisco officers. san francisco will help to supervise its own officers. the police department promised the police commission that those were still the rules being followed. the special agent in charge of the fbi told us in 2005 that was still the case and we had nothing to worry about. here we are now. suddenly they will not answer the question. the san francisco police department has refused to release their current memorandum of understanding dole answered definitively if they are an following local or fbi rules. the assessments being collected by the fbi, the reason it came out was because the judicial committee asked for the information from the fbi. when this resolution asks for more transparency, this is a starting point. this committee can endorse the good work of the human rights comparecommission. i asked them to look into this. i believe there is great risk but there may be a secret arrangement between the police department and the fbi to do and in iran -- an end run around the police depart

in san francisco, we have no assurances from sfpd that san francisco officers are not involved in this activity. one thing this report speaks to is the major concern. the chief did not need additional guidelines. he had won. -- he had one. >> good afternoon. thank you for having this conversation, particularly in light of everything happening across the country. i am the executive director of the san francisco-bay area office of the council on american islamic relations. i want to highlight the environment in which the conversation is happening. last month, the elected officials in orange county participated in what was labeled an anti-muslim protest. a few weeks ago, congressman peter king held hearings on the corporate -- corporation of muslims with law enforcement. things are coming to a climax. we have the opportunity to set an example and say that muslims are cooperating with law- enforcement. at the same time, that needs to be happening with respect for civil rights. i am asking you to endorse the report and set an example for the country as elected officials to say that in the w

we need to do a lot in san francisco to encourage young people and young families to stay in san francisco. i think we are missing out on a lot of our diversity when young families leave our city. we need to do all we can to be mindful of the needs of young families in the city. we mentioned housing. schools are a big deal. but also being able to be flexible with transportation and children. >> what is happening with crime in your district? give me your thoughts on how you think the police are doing with respect to crime in your district? >> i think we are very fortunate in district two. we have a number of great police captains that oversee the stations that touched district two. richmond and northern are the two major police stations that touched the district. we do have a lot of crime in district 2. both crimes against individuals but also against merchants along our merchant corridors. chestnut. union in particular has been hit. fillmore and sacramento. it is a big deal. we also have the break-ins. we need to be very mindful that people keep their iphones and laptops out of sight. but

so well done san francisco. you are leading one against by utilizing innovation and i'm sure big cities across the nation will learn from your example from the pilot you're launching here today and emulate the kind of creativity and innovation that you're utilizing to address what is to say the least a very common flob big cities across the country. thank you for your leadership, your application and innovation and your partnership with u.s. d.o.t. and the federal highway administration. [applause] >> thank you, mr. deputy director. it is now my pleasure to introduce the president of the san francisco board of supervisors, david chew, who has been a strong supporter of parking reform in the city and look at it as a means of encouraging economic growth for local communities and merchants. of course, of course, is a major element of the s.f. park program and most appropriate at this time when it appears the local economy is finally rebounding of the great recession the past few years. president chu? >> thank you,

i m a user of the dump facility both in san francisco and in south san francisco, so i have a little different perspective from the fine gentleman that spoke earlier. i feel as though san francisco is being taken over the barrel, essentially. for me, as a user, i pay $144 a ton in san francisco and $89 a ton in south san francisco, so i think that same discrepancy is being applied to residential users as well as commercial users. my second point is the proposed dump-week lynn, california. as you know, that is a watershed -- dump in wheatland, california. as you know, that is a watershed where they want to located. because trash is not inspected, there is no saying as to the toxicity of users in these dumpsites. although san francisco has a wonderful recycling program, other counties have nothing at all. so their trash mixed with our trash, and if there is a contamination problem, there is no saying where it comes from, and it could very well be laid on san francisco. commissioner campos: thank you. next speaker. >> ♪ well, hello, lafco and recology make it good, recology it is so nic

board of san francisco is absolutely of interest to us. -- port of san francisco is absolutely of interest to us. pier 96 is not. the reason is when we got the permission to use pier 96 for the purpose of recycling our traditional recyclables -- paper, bottles, cans -- we committed to the citizens of the bayview that this was going to be recycling only. we told them, we committed that we would not bring garbage into the bayview district. that was important to them an important to us. our facility, pier 96 sits right below the hunters point housing project. while we did not have to do it, we committed and have been voluntarily for the last -- i guess it has been eight or nine years now that pier 96 has been there and processing the city's recyclables -- we voluntarily offered, long before anybody was talking about local hire ordinances in the city -- we voluntarily offered all new jobs to people who live in two zip codes that are impacted in the bayview, and we have hired somewhere around 175 people who come from that zip code -- those two zip codes to work for us. what we heard a week or t

of power here in san francisco. i am so happy the board of supervisors came together to select an outstanding choice along many outstanding candidates to lead us over the next several years. >> over the past several months when this issue has come up, it had been agonizing. the board has been put into a difficult situation. there are a lot of differences of opinion on how to run the city, how to mass make a decision, who should be in place, 11 people to agree on that is a challenging thing. i think we have done the best we can do in the process, considering the difference of opinions. >> the people of san francisco can now choose their mayor, the direction they want to go. that is why this decision was so appropriate. >> the other big shock is that the moderates seem to have won this round. people thought, progressives have themselves on the board. there is no reason that they will not get together and take a noted leader who is a progressive to be interim mayor, and then stayed there for another term. the great thi

get information about any place in san francisco. you can search by address and find incidents of crime in san francisco in the last 90 days. we have [inaudible] which allows you to click on a map and get nchldz like your supervisor or who your supervisor is. the nearest public facility. and through the sf applications we support from the mayor's office of neighborhood services. you can drill down in the neighborhood and get where the newest hospital or police or fire station. >> we are positive about gis not only people access it in the office but from home because we use the internet. what we

the other is san francisco bay railroad. that is the real road for the port of san francisco.is a federally certified railroad. the last one has 60 goats grazing at the port. we read them out to anyone that would like them. -- rent them out to anyone that would like them. the study is a good start. but there needs to be vigorous pursuit of detail. i concur with the three areas that need to be drilled down on. one is barging and rail directly from the port. the other is the port of san francisco having a transfer complex and possibly an industrial park based at the port. the third is the issue of frane

it is costly and difficult to do business in san francisco, to raise your children in san francisco. i would like a voice at the table to create policies that will minimize the stigma that san francisco is not a business- friendly city, minimize the stigma of that san francisco prioritizes the rights of dogs over children. we started walking down that path largely because of political ideology. it is less about politics. i want to have a positive impact on the city overall, specifically district 10, connecting it to the city. people have been left to defend for themselves. i am honored to have been elected to serve to be the next advocate for the next four years, hopefully the next eight years, to really protect, defense, and serve the residents of district 10. >> we will talk more about some of the issues facing district 10. before we do, i would like to know a little bit about what you learned campaigning for supervisor. talk to me a little about that experience. >> first, i learned that a lot of the conversations we have about our neighborhood and community happens in silos. we ha

institution in san francisco mission's district. it has been repairing and servicing the cars of many of san francisco's leading figures, husband cal performance, arts, politics, activist community and a variety of professions, truly a neighborhood institution. if it seems unusual that an auto repair business can be a part of the history of the city, the secret is tom himself. he called it a family. customers and friends from all walks of life because of his extraordinary generosity and kindness. his many abilities, including the ability to learn from those around him and to accumulate knowledge in many diverse areas. among tom's passions in addition to the pacific ocean and the green hills and meadows were history. world, national and local. railroads, car racing. politics. charles bicens and the music of diverse genres. after a long battle of cancer, tom passed away at the age of 6 5, the young age of 65 on march 19th, 2011 of complications from the cancer. he is survived by his wife, his two sisters and his aunt. as well as his b

but this is not san francisco. this is not healthy for san francisco. this is not the san francisco we all dwell in, you know? you are talking about 30 years of construction. you are going to have people sick, you know? think about it. that is all i have to save. i just don't want my home demolished. it is my home. thank you. >> good afternoon, a board of supervisors. i am a member of jordan park improvement association, although i will not be represented their views. i know we are here to talk about the environmental impact report, the adequacy and accuracy. in reading the environmental impact report, i found a lot of these facts were either not significant, significant but unavoidable, it's a truck. i know the city can get certain benefits from developers, but are they benefits if they cause traffic congestion in neighboring residential areas due to a shortage of 3000 parking spaces? what do we know about the benefits to the city if the cause harm to the residents at parkmerced, where they have had their homes for decades, some people. these are vulne

communities across san francisco have benefited. it seems the service could be arbitrary depending on what the issue is and what service is being renewed or increased. that has some benefits. it would be great to have something that would be more global in how the new services are rendered to the city and what the benefits are. having clarity about that is good practice in government. >> i hear the questions of the commission and the concerns regarding documentation. our main concern is to ensure that since we have a system that works, we have a system in place that has worked for many years, and that is highlighted, we are succeeding in having the highest ever generate, that we want to ensure that even if we are looking at additional documentation for our system, that our system is not disrupted. we are working aggressively to reach zero waste by 2020, and any part we -- in the work we're doing would severely jeopardize our ability to reach that goal. that is our perspective, how we can keep having momentum to move down the path to

in san francisco, and i know there is over 500 that spent 90 days or less in state prison -- in san francisco, i know there's over 500 that spent 90 days or less. again, the time that they spend in there was a reduced amount of time. supervisor mirkarimi: if the average sentence -- i do not know if "average" is the right marker here -- is 120 days or so that would be sent to the state coming back, if they were part of that delayed or incremental impact to san francisco, would that not normally just cut into the time that they would be serving while waiting to come back, and therefore less in their time -- lessen their time? >> it also depends upon how the sheriff's implements the program because they are staying there for a period of time anyway. what is going to happen is that the time that they would be transported out, go through the processing and come back, that is the time, but the sheriff's office could implement additional electronic monitoring, alternative sentencing programs, residential drug treatment, outpatient, all of those that are authorized under this law. while we have the p

the san francisco giants as world champions.] it is, in every sense, a great day to be a giants fan, aint it? [applause] we, like you, are all elated to find ourselves standing on the summit of baseball. we are also proud, aren't you? in the job that bruce bochy did with all of his teams and players. one more round of applause for bruce and his team. [applause] >> and we are just as proud as the job that our general manager brian sabean did to put this group together. let's give them a big round of applause. [applause] the san francisco giants are the champions of baseball this year because of a lot of work, good, smart work done by lots of folks for decades and decades. we are up here today because we are standing on the shoulders of giants who preceded us. applause for all those guys who built the pyramid who got us to this summit, please. [applause] >> in that line of succession, please join me in developing and making the family of the stonehams family. peter mcgowan, the in the past steward of the team. [applause] finally,

i and an architect in san francisco. i reviewed the unborn little impact report for the parkmerced project, and this was based on the 1940's-era car planning a. more transportation, better bicycle paths, better -- there are missing amenities, such as community gardens, restaurants, coffee shops, etc.. potable water, consumption, and water reduction. it seems to me that by going through with this plan, park merced would be and out of date approached and creating a potential international model for urban sustained. thank you. president chiu: could you pull the microphone? >> i have lived in a lot of areas of san francisco. there really are not a lot of options for affordable housing. other young couples will of the bay area, we love san francisco and this represents a great place for us tuesday. it creates so many jobs and is sustainable. it creates a fantastic opportunity to revitalize a part of the city that is, frankly, very much in need of it, and i see no reason why this should not move forward. thank you. president c

goals -- to make this city a great place for the people who live here, but another is to make san francisco and is a blur. i am a proud san franciscan -- transplant, but a proud san franciscan, and i think san francisco values are our greatest export. i think the america's cup is a great opportunity to highlight both of those things -- how to make this a great event for all of the attendees, but also a great event for all the people who live near the waterfront and for san franciscans. we do not want to overload our streets with traffic. we want to keep this a livable city as we do this huge event and make -- bring mass numbers of people through. the other is to be an example, and a lot of people have talked about this. every event wants to be the greatest ever. i want this event to be the greatest ever feared with any other city is doing a large sporting event, i wanted to go to san francisco's people plan and say this is where we start. hopefully, we will not be the eggs of live forever. hopefully, this will continue to advance, but we should have that reputation, considering what we all
