the department has continued to end gage in outreach efforts to invite the stakeholders, the attorney groups and others to tour the facility and to end gage with the young people just as members of the civil grand jury has done to clearly understand the quality of the rehabilitation programs available. recommendation 1.2 as it relates to expanding education and vocational training, this recommendation is ongoing. it was added to law cabin ranch to assist those young people who have completed their high school diploma or gpa online. the school district is going to enhance individual instruction and special education and as was mentioned by finlive a fork live program is currently in place. community based agency, young community developers have been begun a series of workshops at law cabin ranch. we're excited about this new y initiative that just lunched. in regards to the auto repair program while we certainly believe that this will be a vocational option that many of the young people will enjoy and embrace we believe there are other sectors that may be a value to our young people pa

we have a lot of challenges and i'm confident we will be working together with all the outside stakeholders and the new leader of this agency and he look forward to working with till i didn't. >> thank you commissioner kim. >> thank you. i also want to thank the personnel committee and the hawkins committee to make our discussion difficult it was really hard to see all those women that were commitments to lead this very important agency and there's great interest in a willingness to lead on really complicated issues around funding a lot of difficult needs and gaps here in san francisco are i think the personnel committee brought 3 amazing amazing candidates i'm really happy to welcome lilly chang as our new director. we've developed a great relationship with the transportation authority and we appreciate how you've sat with our residents and helped to figure out high priorities around transit improvements and pedestrian improvements and bike lanes. i also want to thank maria lombardy for her leadership i was hoping you'd be interested n in applying because i've been expressed by your calmne

this put stakeholders group was primarily mono lingual, spanish speaking latino mothers. so, i just wanted to highlight a few of those points that were raised in that round table discussion, although it was not intended for our district, i think there's some value in sharing that and keeping that in mind as we align the pre-k through third approach to education here in our district to support student achievement. and those points are that location is key for pre-k programs. many of these mothers don't drive and, so, it was to stress the importance of being able to either walk to pre-k programs that are in the neighborhood or that are easily accessible by transportation, especially when they have to take their other school age children to school sites and get them there in a timely manner. bilingual pre-k programs are highly desirable. these parents stress the importance of wanting to have the home language supported while their children are still receiving english language development instruction. and the last point that i really want to highlight is the special education

so through this i feel i've felt i'm a stakeholder that was the reason i became a participant in the japan town organizing committee in addition to my own personal connections to the committee through the board of supervisors for the japanese-american national library. i'd like to affirm the japan plan but i'd like to speak from the angel of academic he teaching in the university and would like to stress the importance of doing what can be done to preserve such a rich and a culturally diverse community especially in connection with the social and cultural heritage. it's a long-standing mission even if ethic studies even if being a upper place in the country that links the you thought to bay community and through this mission we as faculty encourage and seek to create opportunity for our students to experience things in their own community whereby i hope in their later crazy they'll give back to their community. many of the students are here today to learn about the relationship between community and the business of the city. every semester we bring students out to japan down u town b

i've been involved in those types of issues i've never been a stakeholder it's really good to be a stakeholder. i want to thank the planning department and shelly and; is that right? my personal history is japan town i was born in my house by a mid wife and my whole life i've lived in san francisco. except for 6 years i was taken away and incarcerated first of all, on top of as then my family was moved to department of the justice camp in the city and we were honored to be one of the last ones to be released in 1947 my father was an activist and he observed the geneva congestion and the department wanted to deport him. japan town is very important i have spent my whole life there. and next the city government took a miss step but i hope this b will correct everything for the future that we want preserved in japan town and this certainly is the right step. so thank you. i hope you endorse this. >> thank you thank you good afternoon. i'm robert and my families as would and worked in japan town since 1906. we also-ran a grocery store but i've continued in the capacity of working with the neighbor

we wanted individuals who were really stakeholders from the community, but also -- from the community, but stakeholders in our sites where this is having -- where this proposition was having such a huge impact. and because the oversight committee is primarily about the fiscal solvency and the audit that we do each year for qtea, we wanted individual members who understood -- who had a background in that, in that context. that was the primary focus for this [speaker not understood]. >> i'm requesting that in the future we have some discussion, maybe at the rules committee, about how we constituted this committee. i don't remember somebody tell me if i'm wrong, that we at the board actually discussed what criteria we would want because it seems to me that in all of these kinds of advisory groups, one of the most important things is to have various experiences. i mean, i might say for each one of these people, i might individually read this description and say, oh, yeah, that would be a valuable, you know, set of experiences to be on this committee, but i don't really know if i want them

there was years of earlier discussion with kathleen harrington and the owners agreeing to the stakeholdersying we're going to do it. the nice thing about the unb ordinance it was pretty easy to identify if you were a unb. the nonductile buildings, i'm not sure what holds them up. the corner soft story buildings, i've got my 14-year-old son now, he can now identify them because we drive around town and he goes, dads that one? yeah, do you see this and this? a 14-year-old can be trained to identify them. they're straight forward. >> do you think it's another four or six-year program to come up with legislation? >> to be honest, you have to get the board of supervisors on board on this and they need to realize that it's not just a landlord issue. it's a tenant issue, a people on the street, the neighborhood serving facilities. they are the book ends of the block. you might -- >> i haven't -- there's no opposition, except people that own some of the build. >> you also haven't gone through the unb process at the state and local level. you have a group of people familiar with earthquakes and the

much different situation what we the with the new buses but we went around to a variety of the stakeholders and said what do you know think. if the case part of the seating what it looks like depends upon what else you know where they're going to put certain components in the car maybe not under the seats and frankly in one sentence if you were to excuse me. what would be the one improvement we'd among on the design of the exciting cars you want the components out from under the bottom of the car to the side are top because that's problematic for a variety of reasons. i'm not trying to not answer your question >> maybe i don't understand the process. my local thinking is if i feel the interior design is important and it's a positive change i certainly wouldn't want to buy cars and spend more money to change the format. it's easier to say those are my requirement and put it out to bid and a let them design s it and give a bid. maybe again, i'm not understanding that maybe our purchase is so small they don't care what we think >> that's certainly a possibility. we could express our preference

we have worked collaboratively with the community stakeholders who helped design it and we have created a public space that meets the needs of the people who both live around here and who visit san francisco. so, i'll get out of your way and let's now enjoy it. thank you very much. (applause) >> one more group to thank and it's the most important one. i would very much like to thank the men and the women who have worked tirelessly in the water and out, to demolish pier 36, rebuild our seawall, and create this great park for all of us led by [speaker not understood], i won't say everybody's name. but thanks to them, leslie builders, [speaker not understood] detrick construction, well man landscape, and many, many more, we now all have this park today and for many generations to come. so, it is with great pleasure that i would like to invite the mayor, the members of the board, members of congresswoman pelosi's office

the city agencies and stakeholders along with the mayor's office will work together. proposition b pass by the voters specifically indicates that $50 million of the money will be used for streetscape and pedestrian improvements and specifically calls out sidewalk extensions which is what bulb outs are. walk first that was a document that was produced there a agency prognosticates san francisco is ranked by the california system safety having the highest number of rates of fatalities for pedestrians. every surface street in san francisco should be designed for generous safety pedestrian crossings and the plans specifically recommends bulb out to the maximum stent feasible. the plan repeatedly talks about the importance of bulb outs and turning radius for vehicles to encourage slower turning and better visibility of pedestrians. so colleagues i wanted to flag that issue it's been an ongoing decision. the fire code amendment the board passed in june, i hope we'll again pass this to confirmor support for the critical need to take measures to produce safety for pedestrians

chair and i want to thank all the stakeholder. i know when we heard about this the issues of the comprehend $170,000 and i think we all share a desire to spend a few thousand dollars a year to work out arrangements with businesses. given the fact we have the dense public rules of evidence anything we can do to minimize that. my office had an opportunity to sit down with the representatives of our transit workers and sfmta and i understand we're all looking at moving those facilities and i trust that's happening and i understand that those particular facilities there's a need for them and certainly want to make sure that our transit operators are taken place and with that i'm happy to support the proposal and am looking forward to an ongoing proposal to support those and a supervisor breed >> thank you. what's the annual maintenance comforted and the maintenance plan for those restrooms? >> i'm not sure of the costs but your facility staff will be maintaining those units either with a daily or twice daily visits. >> and mr. william

the controllers off the is honing in on a few recommended areas consulted with key stakeholders to make sure the discussions are productive. i expect to see a final draft i can share with the board this week. last although, it's been a high topics the transportation commission adopted plan bay area after a marathon meeting that was for the outreach strategies. despite some of more hyperbolic press coverage it goes toward the transportation development based on the growth areas the 3rir78 growth areas and encouraging you housing for all income levels. those are key in moving toward green gashouse processes. and this is very important. i want to thank our m t c and bay commissioners. currently representatives as well that served on a bag earlier in a bag development. in particular i want to recognize campos and wiener foyer the successful cap and a trade revenues and state of good repair needs respectfully with the balance for affordable housing. the details will be worked out in the months ahead working with the mayor's office and the regional advocates and m t c to make sure that the ca

the message became a singular focus for all the stakeholder that went on to forge a lot of no relationships. and through the strength of that common goal we have seen things insewer mountable. the finish line is in sight. in a matter of hours we'll win the race and open the new bridge. i'd like to thank the department for all it's support and partnership. the tall oversight committee for its leadership and vision of this stunning new bridge. and believe me it's stunning. but no matter how great that vision and how complete that plan it still has to be executed by people, skilled craftsman and designers from all over the world literally many millions of man-hours to bring together the plans of the designers. to our key supplies who have traveled here from china, from south korea, from japan the japan steelworks and from the uk we welcome you to oakland. it's a privilege to share this moment and we're grateful for our many contributions >> let us be mindful of several other contractors who are responsible for the skyway, the function foundation and such. flatiron west and manson construction

thank you >> i'm herbert i'm a native san franciscan and also an i am paled stakeholder of mta. sadly this hearing addresses the transit effectiveness project and doesn't include human impact. no physician or professional has rectified this impact upon pedestrians. it is basically flawed because it does talk about bus transportation while the transportation agency claims it's adding new vehicles it's retiring vehicles at the same time and pollution exists while the ridership grows without services increasing. if the mta can spend more money on others facilities why can't it allocate funds for a net increase for transportation vehicles why must it make the residents surf from discontinued bus runs. it will be less services to the neighborhood. the heart and soul of san franciscans. the elderly and frail will have to walk longer distances to the bus stops. notablely in the chronically terminally ill. while this plan is sound it's humanly a hardship for many. electric muni buses. please send this project and those formulated back to the board to come up with a better transportation

collaborative process that is oerlgd by the department of emergency management our department but we engage stakeholder from a wide variety of departments fire department, police department, building spickets and mayor's office and ed. we engageeveral times a year for project proposals for their departments want to see equipment or training for their staff members. those proposals are valeted for the funds. we make sure that it meets the grant guidelines and we ask that peer group of folks from the first responders department to rank them and the top ones get fema support and the ones that don't rise to the top my get funded next year before sometimes you need multiple years to get projects funded. so if things are half done we're going to fund those before starting something new. the ultimate allocation is approved by the homeland security and it's made up of our department and the police department and the head of the d hr and other heads of department. some occur in other jurisdictions and we get our region allocation we spend it widely and heavily - it is certainly not a couple of department heads

around polk street there's been dozens of meetings really trying to balance the needs of all the stakeholders. and so it's is it fair to say no one is happy about what's been recently proposed for polk street but what the mta is trying to do is calibrate the interests on polk street. the gentleman just provided us the excuse me. africa down one street by north of california all the way down to fillmore street was changed at the request of the many merchants who wanted to see all the needs of the businesses in this area. that's appropriate because we heard from the merchants as well as the residents but in the areas south of california street i think there are two things try about that position. first and foremothering month a much higher number of cycling and injuries in that area is in that corridor and secondly, we doesn't hair the same type of information from merchants and residents on polk street. i i don't think anyone is satisfied where it end up but i wanted to thank the mta for trying to balance the need and there's still ongoing meetings. this is probably the first time that my staf
