i'm mary steiner the president of the united nations association san francisco chapter. i'm here also as a member of the san francisco collaborative against human trafficking and a member of the mayor's task force against human trafficking. i was stunned when i attended the recent san francisco collaborative against human trafficking conference about industry's impacted by human trafficking, how business and community are fighting back. one of the presentations was from a member of the teamsters union and they routinely evaluate the conditions of farm workers. they had evaluated taylor farms in salinas and it was a passing grade and then decided to investigate taylor farms in tracy. they discovered pregnant women washing these organic greens, baby greens in chlorine and unprotected. and the motel was doing sex trafficking. the owner was men dosa. so here are the packages of organic baby greens that i see on the grocery shelves, thinking this must be pure and wonderful. we need to take a closer look again about what our food sources are and work with labor as well. thank

for innkeeper michel vi steiner the construction work means stress that's because the old heart will stay open throughout and he also has to cook for the builders. that work well. no matter how. it was important to him that architect matto scan your incorporated him into the design and took the practicalities into account. the vice dean of family has run the it out heart for more than forty years. and yet. this can an unmanaged every board tells a story the whole building creaks when you walk around in it someone who has to go to the loo in the middle of the night on the top floor can wake everybody up. in the dining room has become too small to work when i hear from monday to saturday they all come from the same village and get along well. runs an architectural office together with his wife. during the hot competition a debate about the architectural style of new refugees broke out in south yarra. many criticize the designs for being too futuristic they saw the traditional style as under threat. not least the romantic aura of the old hearts the architects viewed energy efficiency as

>> on the other end of the spectrum a lot of people think back to the katie steiner case. the verdict, not guilty of killing kate stanley shocked and angered many. did that resonate in your clients at all?>> you know, things are always hard. we can point to so many moments that will flare up, but communities are struggling daily. so yes, there may be a case that heightens things or the president may say something horrific and that could flare it up but the day-to-day struggles are there. >> a lot of the laws have not changed, just has enforcement changed? because the laws are the laws. it is illegal to come to the country and overstay, but now you seem to think enforcement has taken a step up? >> a lot of our clients are asylum clients, so they have come over facing horrific conditions in the country but they are brought here now so they are going through detention centers. we have a case in arizona we recently had a good victory on where you go into the detention center and there is no link it or anything to sleep on. you are being deprived of sleep. we have made some sma

you can check it out mcallister and lion and the next is mcallister and steiner will start soon. in terms of activities at the federal level, last week was a big week in terms of the news coming out of the federal. first is that the administration has nominated a woman named thelma drake, to be the federal transit administrator. the f.t.a. has been without an administrator for a year now. so welcome news to see someone appointed and nominated. she's a former republican member of congress from norfolk, virginia. she was a member of the virginia house of delegates. head of virginia's department of rail and public transit department. and her nomination seems to be so far being well received by the industry, she seems like a professional who has good experiences that will bring much needed leadership. it's been since january 2014 since the fda had a confirmed administrator when the previous administrator left there was an acting administrator towards the end of the obama administration and continuing acting administrators and the last year. so hopefully the f.d.a. will have leadershi

right now, i believe the union street we cover from vanness to steiner, and then from fillmore to lombard, that's about 7%, but we can give you the length of time those vacancies have been in place, when a business changed hand or if it is or is not vacant currently or whether or not it actually has its doors open for business. >> and just one more question for dbi. as we're in the budget process right now, i'm just wondering what kind of data it has to identify the vacant and abandoned property. this is obviously an extremely important issue facing our neighborhood and commercial corridors. i'm just wondering if we can get a sense of exactly what we're looking at and exactly what resources would be needed to tackle this problem. >> having been brought into this issue at the end of last week, i don't think i have a deep sense of the specificity of what you would need from our department. however, i can see, having heard testimony and having read the analyst's report that we are looking to leverage what reports already are in place, and as was mentioned earlier, the oewd, the focus on thos

others, like the steiner case, the planners say it is not their job to correct. so it doesn't seem to be any procedure around this issue. as my neighbour explained to you several weeks ago, there is no penalty whatsoever for the submission of false plans. today you will be deciding the budgets and work programme. we ask that you include a programme to get to this bottom of this issue and stop it. the practice of sub mitting inaccurate plans for its architects that are honest hurts national conventions and makes a mockery of planning regulations and everyone in the city should have to play by the same set of rules. thank you for listening. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon, commissioners. i wanted to update you on the results of our complaint to the sunshine ordinance task force about the planning department not providing the rhca with requested documents on 60 russell. between march 17, 2016 and march 31, 2017 four requests for documents related to six [inaudible]. on august 3, 2017, after our hearing before you on 60 russell, a 30-p
