role should be to provide infrastructure as we are with the proposed expansion of our fiber network sf wifi services previously discussed etc. and my role should be to promote pervasive gig byte services in every neighborhood and an opportunity to creatively looking at funding opportunities and different ways to make this available for people in all areas of the city regardless of their socioeconomic situation. so i wanted to address a couple of things -- the connectivity plan and what we talked about yesterday, is not absent of a municipal network vision. what it's focussed on right now most prominent ly is the fiber backbone that we want to create to connect primarily our municipal facilities right? that's the obvious urgent need that we have and that's a pretty easy thing to understand and to invest in for its immediate return. but by doing so, we're also creating a significant fiber footprint that can then be used to enable these fiber to the to the home discussions and delivering on that vision and you know the article and some of the things -- just to clarify -- that we are absol

for example, i am actually a sf state student and i go to -- i live in ocean view which is pretty near to school but because of the free muni for youth program that i am still part of i usually take the metro to get to school but one time it said that i had to wait for five or 10 minutes but i ended up waiting 30 minutes which i could have just walked to class. muni is a life line for many students. we know this by the fact that many youth fought for the free muni program and we know that many students rely on the public transportation to get to school, so this is why school bus routes are important to be well utilized and implemented into these student's travel patterns. dedicated school bus lines would create more convenience for students and commute on school on a daily basis and we want to thank the city to provide safety to these students for commuting to school for funding for vision zero. thank you. >> thank you. >> hello am my name is emma and i'm a youth commissioner and i live 10 minutes walk from here and everyday i take the k or m at 645 and get to school around 730. what i

data and also in educating our own people, the police department, in january with the cooperation of sf walk and bike sf we created a video distributed for training describing what vision zero and what everybody's role is and recently modified slightly to be attached to their website and if they are not available today they will be available shortly for the public educating people on vision zero and again the primary focus of our enforcement and additionally in february followed up with an e-mail to ensure every police officer in san francisco is reached to define what vision zero is and what our role and education really is and we've reached our officers. i think as a collective group we could do a little better with our educational component to the 3 e's engineering enforcement and education and the high injury corridors again i'll defer to mta to speak about the engineering changes that they have come up with on that. >> thank you and before you go supervisor yee. >> yes, hi commander. i just have a question. would you in the past receive these numbers in terms of citations given out

they happen in atifep wment the library and school districts and happen in our hope sf sites. they happen all over the city because we are committed to making sure our kids are healthy and strong and ready and there are no gaps in the way they learn. by the way, this happens also to be a great contribution to our parents as well because when the parents are struggling with their 2 or 3 scheduled working throughout the summer to make ends meet, they can have affordable programs in the city particularly low income kids can [inaudible] all summer to all these prms and have places that are safe, inviting and endorsed by our school district and that is why we have school members here too and they are directly engaged in qualifying these programs that we have. programs for the parents to make sure that when they are busy going to work they have wonderful programs their kids can be involved in. i'm excited about this because i love seeing kids active whether it is on a recreation field or learning center, a incredible array of different things that this ymca produces. our own boys an

>> yes. >> actually, district 10, particularly because of the emphasis on the hope sf program has been a key priority for the committee and, again, i was just reminded that these decisions about how to prioritize use of funds are made by the mayor's office and by staff so we're kind of a feedback to that process, but i think geographically, there's been a strong emphasis on district 10 primarily because of the hope sf program, trying to support and the overall envisioning program that's happening as well as the third street corridor work, those are the things that come to my mind as the primary things in the district 10 area. >> there was a time a few years ago that the city was move ining the direction under the leadership of mayor lee to make more of an investment, a significant amount of money or more of an investment in the housing trust fund which would have revitalized public housing, and many affordable housing groups including [inaudible] expressed concerns that it would be going to affordable housing and not other affordable housing projects? >> you're speak egg about 2012 whe

sf p.d. interactions and loitering 244, alcohol and drug related 121, calls for city services and crowd control. >> we have challenges that do with illegal dumping and as public works mentioned we work very close with them and we are alsoing working with cbd numbers and we have blighted properties and vacancies and we are trying to come up with means to address those issues. lack of daytime activation. this has been the case for a very long time and has impacted the area. and we have a problem with chronic inebriates and drug use and dealing. it has the perception that the area is unsafe. we are working with security as well as with our sf p.d. and we have a very small budget and cover a very small area and this hinders our ability of what we would like to do we want to expand top of mine for all of us and we hope to do that in the near future and looking at ways to do that. as far as projects, we have several revitalization and rebranding projects under way that will serve to improve busines

counseling, there's first time home ownership, it's done a lot to support the housing programs, the hope sf x the envisioning program, we have small business assistance, we have child care services, so it's supporting a lot of different organize sashes doing different work and i hear some of the previous speakers, it's hard to know what's doing what but i would argue it gets there better when you do it through this model of a dissevered decentralized funding rather than when you put it into centralized agencies. my second point is on the role of the citizen's committee, i think a lot of us would see us as more a policy body, we're setting economic development policy for this city. it's not really a pod si body, we don't make decisions, we're not in a position of authority, it would be a peer feedback group to staff and i think they get a lot out of that, we converse with each other and we bring professional and community experience to the table, they bring staff and technical experience and that's the role we help them set policy and programs and hopefully it's influential at some level. we

my name is andy house and i started a facebook page called open sf watershed. here in the san francisco bay bay we come from -- bay area we come from diverse backgrounds and diverse people and have different stories from our parents and ancestors but what joins us together and what is rarely thought of as a political thing is history, and within the san francisco watershed lies lake po seatos and that most of the public don't know exists. this was the first potable water source for san francisco. this building wouldn't be here if that lake wasn't there and [inaudible] to the mountain and [inaudible] red road flume when san francisco was purchasing water by the barrel for gold so within that valley lies the lake and stone dam and great beautiful places that people don't know exists but are important to the history to the city and all of the great rock and roll out of the city and the things that wouldn't exist if it wasn't for the lakes and with history i would like to thank the bay area ridge council for the vision to see that the stewardship of people to manag

so this is a mixer with the council district merchants and sf economic development organization doing a mixer together. very pleased that this year st environment has come on as a sponsor and will be sponsoring this event as well. then friday different this year than the previous years but we are hosting the conference at city college the chinatown campus. we found that the event small business week is most successful when we are able to host a conference with multiple multiple workshops. we weren't able to do that last year. it did okay but not extremely well. we had difficulty finding space to host the conference where we can have ten workshops happening at four different times throughout the day for each of those sessions and so in the past we had used city sf state downtown campus. they closed one of they are floors. so city college campus was able to accommodate us on a friday. this will be a change for us to do it on a friday but i think very important. i will send you out the finalized list of conferences and we have some very exciting new things for the conference this year. w

i also volunteer with walk sf, creating projects to bring forth project vision zero. i have lived in san francisco since 2008. i first moved here looking for a city that had a robust public transportation system, since i came from metro detroit, where we really don't be have one, so for a year i relid on muni because i was terrified of even riding a bike in a parking lot, but slowly i realized biking is a great way to get around in san francisco. i had some good allies that taught me how to ride in the streets and now it's half of my main mode of transportation. so i feel that on the bac i could really serve as an advocate for multi modal transportation. i first heard about the seat opening on the bac through the bicycle coalition news letter and it piqued my interest but when i talked to someone on the committee who informed me there are only men currently on the committee i knew i had to change that by applying. so not only do i feel i could advocate for multi modal transportation users, people who are maybe otherwise afraid to get on their bikes but could do so wit

sf govtv if we can have the screen here. all right. so we want to be able to allow existing massage establishments that are operating without proper land use approval to legalize as a massage establishment and this would also be dependent on zoning controls where establishment is located at the time of the application. so we would allow them to continue in operation to continue the land use approval and participation in the amnesty program is dependent upon the massage establishment having the following. these are the same criteria. a valid business license prior to january 2015 and valid certification practitioner permit prior to that same date. they have been functioning in the state before that same date. there are no open violations. enforcement issues, 53 dph, department of planning at the time of permit approval and they must have submitted an application for the dph permitting process for their site within 90 days of the effective ordinance. of course we would outreach to as many establishments as possible. this is important. we

follows free sf but the progression we need to be smart and focused and there should never be a rush unless it's a sound like dignities i think this is a nice social statement but in terms of financial decisions i don't think this necessarily has a great impact a couple of things to think about from a social prospective it is nice it is good and i think this is important i believe in public transportation i believe in people producing carbon fingertip that being said what we're talking about st. is somehow we're going to effect supply say that will effect demand and effects behavior with you have the population here and developing countries and number one develop countries i think there is compelling stories about the developing countries have more basic energy needs for example, we were devesting follows fuels we somehow would effect the supply of follows fuels you'll hurt african that have's problems with access energy and developing country side need coal and fossil fuel it feels good in the u.s. but we're needing to be know about other countries as well people talk about oil and

one of the things that looks like -- one of the speakers from ccdc mentioned earlier the safe street sf program and we have the i pledge safe streets that people are continuing to take and asking people to take a pledge for safe streets and support vision zero and starting to get some buy in and that we need to start changing the way the way we're behaving on our streets so as we're running campaigns saying don't speed or as the police department is out there for jay walking or what not -- they are never going to see tickets as a positive thing but less of a revenue raising thing but more of what it's meant to be by creating a safer environment for everybody on the streets. >> i'd love to hear more of what the thoughts are but i just feel like you know, that we're focusing on this training piece is moving forward but i see that the rest of the education has not gotten too few. >> absolutely. you know and i think we've talked at past meetings before the education piece started from zero. enforcement is something ongoing but the idea of creating a citywide education campaign and program i
