a lot of the people in the portola did go to work at the bayview hunters point shipyard. the community has changed a lot since the 1920's, were originally started out as a large jewish community. after the jewish are adolescents -- after the jewish settlers, they became more maltese and italian. the last census showed, we were 53% asian-pacific islander. the community has continued to grow and change. everyone has really embraced that. we liked that sort of diversity here. >> now, let's meet the president of the dogpatch neighborhood association. she will tell us about life in dogpatch, a clean neighborhood on the eastern edge of potrero hill, and we will learn how the residents convinced the city to a vigil -- to designate the area a historic district. >> dogpatch and the health and cottages are the historic houses in the area. those were built for the union ironwork. this really is one of the most original live-work neighborhoods in san francisco. because of this mix of housing and industrial, they need to sit in terms of scale and mass and height for the neighborhood. d

we are working with the teachers in our school sites. bayview has a director for community our reach. the mission team has yet to identify that person. when you look at the team expanded, if you think about the centro contacts, we grow that team to about three dozen. we have a specific lead person to help us in all of those areas which our principals and families can rely on. we have several other key professionals that will help us to serve the schools. we are hoping that attendance is an important area we need to have capacity to do. i am right now trying to work with our students support services to make sure we have bilingual folks who can help us with that effort. >> we do have an independent liaison in the bayview district. president kim: i know we talked about this. the piece i am most concerned with more than what the plan looks like is that we need a comparison. i would love to see an educational placement center in mission that is very accessible to the families so they can learn about process and how to apply and all of that. that is

two in 24 hours, one in the bayview, one in the mission.ews, we have apprehended the one in the bayview. the one in the mission, people are talking. things are looking positive. i have been with this the long time. i ran into an old friend that i had not seen in years. i did not know that his life had gone the wrong way. but unknowingly, and he was packing a gun. they came in in massive force. "get on the ground, blank, blank." we get to the police station, shackled to a bench, and he is, too. he was crying, and i said, "what are you crying about? " sometimes, we just do not have all of the facts. have a nice evening. >> good evening, commissioners and chief. my name is ms. harris, and i am the intervention services director. it is unfortunate to have to hear this story from one of the tenants who live there. i, too, have a story. this was after i came to the last commission meeting, and we put this on the agenda. it is real important that we need to be hasty, so to speak, in regard to community policing. officers are being released into ou

children in the bayview are faced with crime, violence, and social issues that we cannot imagine. students on the other side do not even know about them. it is so difficult for them to him go. the cannot focus in school. our teachers need support in their classrooms so we can attempt to close the achievement gap. so many years, i have been in the district, and i keep hearing "closing the achievement gap." what does that mean? how do we do that? the achievement gap is a targeted population of african american students in my community, latino students in my community. all i am asking for is if we can help close the achievement gap at thurgood marshall academic high school and b and thea -- high-school and the bayview area. we trust and believe the superintendent will take care of us. again, i want to thank dr. gray for working so hard on our behalf. thank you. [applause] >> good evening. my name is patricia coka. i know many of the faces around this table because i am a mother of five. by now i have two children, boys, two nieces, and one nephew in the superintendent zone. i also wan

we also committed to having epc come out to the bayview zone to help. a lot of the things you are saying we did not mention in detail. president kim: the board is just hungry for all this information. we want more and more. [applause] -- [laughter] i think that is it for now in terms of questions. thank you so much for the presentation. are there more questions and comments from staff? >> i just wanted to clarify -- are the superintendent zones schools mainly in mission and bayview, or does it struck out two different districts? >> they are mainly in the bayview and mission, but we have two schools that are not -- john muir and paul revere. commissioner yee: could i follow up on my question about the cross pollination? >> we absolutely decided to do that back in june. we have not started to do it yet. right now, we are using our tsas that our experts for doing professional development and not counting on teachers within the zone to do it. >> another important way we communicate our efforts across the district -- the deputy affords us opportunities to mee

when we are talking about the city, we never talk about bayview-hunter's point or visation valley until after the city plan is completed developed. and then as an after thought those neighborhoods are put in. and truck routes is an issue that needs to be a part of this discussion throughout, from the beginning to end. when you talk about the eastern neighborhoods' plan, you need to include the southeastern neighborhoods. >> yes, that's great, and peg has developed the bayview-hunter's point transportation plan and that identifies the truck routes. and you are right, transportation doesn't stop at cesar chavez and we are including the bayview-hunter's point in the eastern neighborhood plan, and i appreciate you reminding me of that and we have to look at those areas and movement is important and trucks are big and yet people live there. thank you. >> i am concerned of the lack of human element and we are talk being about and it seems that people can affect pedestrian safety as much or if not more as the things you are talking about. we were taught that when you learn to drive, that you s

we can create a lot of character in the bayview town center. we can do other things in the commercial quarters. there are two approaches to affordability. raising income is one we need to focus more attention on. >> mr. jackson? >> when we talk about housing, jobs, and careers, we do not go the step deeper we need to. what types of housing question if there is no clamoring for an abundance of market rate housing. this committee has a deficit in the affordable housing. -- this community has a deficit in affordable housing. we did not sign up to have the regional housing crisis of on our backs. we need a strategy to solve the foreclosure issues happening in our communities. we support is sustainable for affordable housing and affordable housing construction. we also need to ensure we have a cooperative land trust approach to ensure the when people are for closed on a home, the city can buy foreclosed property to help keep those people in their homes. when we talk about job development, what types of jobs? >i want to have a commitment toa green col

the schools on this list -- willie brown is the only one in the bayview and one we have committed to close. none of the other schools on this list are priority schools that we heard about in the superintendent's zone. i didn't support this the first time around, and i am not prepared to support it tonight. >> are there any other questions or comments from board members? role call? whereupon a role call vote was taken. >> it fails. >> did commissioner mendoza vote on this resolution? >> madam chair, would you mind if i confer with the particle amount aaron, what she is referring to when she said it is permissible to register your vote? i want to confirm there is a board rule or something that i am not aware of. >> item two is superintendent's proposals first reading, none tonight. >> the next is a board members proposal, none tonight. we are moving on. item s, board members reports. the first is our report from the augmented building ground and services committee. this is chaired by commissioner mendoza, who had to leave tonight. i will do a quick update. the facilities record on the o

we are located in the bayview district. we are a couple of blocks from bay shore boulevard and a few blocks away from third street. one of the most iconic businesses in the southeast part of san francisco is bodie concrete. they have been a landmark in san francisco forever. this is how we met our new employees. my son was out pumping country when a driver walked up to him and said, "my son has been unemployed for a long time, and he needs a job. he has always loved concrete pumping." nixon was so excited that someone shared the same enthusiasm he does about concrete pumping that we hired that young man. he is now working for us today. he has been there for nine months and is one of our best concrete pumpers. this is what economic recovery books like. i am proud we had the opportunity to hire a new employee. i do not know if you are aware. on march 18, president obama signed and hiring incentive act. that allows small businesses to hire new employees. you get some tax breaks and incentives to can apply to your peril that wil

earlier that jameela from the food guardians had to leave. >> i live in san francisco, and i work in the bayview and hunters point district. i urge you to support the healthy foods incentive, and here are my reasons why -- research analyzing children's meals at major restaurant chains found that many that exceed the recommended calorie intake in the study came with toys. this is very difficult for me as a mother of four. every day when passing by my dolls, -- passing by mcdonald's, we have to throw something over my daughter's eyes. she sees the sun coming gets excited, and throws a tantrum. this is overwhelming and time consuming and traumatizing for my daughter. she already has a chronic illness -- asthma. she is at risk for type ii diabetes. this is traumatizing, and she wants that way, and the toy that comes in that unhealthy happy meal becomes a price for the community as a whole. diabetes can result in a loss of 10 or 15 years of life, as stated by the centers of disease control and prevention. overall, the problem has a domino effect, and it takes a toll on the parents with the nonstop in

. >> we are doing projects in central market, the tenderloin, the bayview, and the 24th street corridorhe history of the neighborhood and their ability to translate a the kind of things that go on on a day- to-day basis. >> we have over 200 applicants. it was wonderful to see how many people participated. these people clearly understand the neighborhood. >> this is a very unique neighborhood. it has always been involved in the arts from early on. of they have seen a lot of the art and what it has done to the neighborhoods. i think that they will still connected to it. they will actually embrace it. i think it will be a good thing for all of us. >> if you are walking in the tenderloin, you'll be able to see this piece that is in front of the original [inaudible] which is a restaurant that has a lot of history. there are exciting projects on market streets. there are two gorgeous minerals as well as six different installations. they are making huge figures that they will be able to see. >> there is a definite level of appropriateness of stuff i am using. a lot of businesses died in 2009.

the fact that we have a chance to get a woman of color from the bayview on to this body is absolutely crucial, especially when we look at the fact that as the shipyard project moves forward, we are going to have public power, hopefully, in that area, and we need a representative of that area to be here, speaking for the community. so that is really crucial. i do not know what his status is, but i would hope because of his extensive knowledge base and experience and advocacy for community choice aggregation, the mr. bornstein might be considered for the alternate, but i think we should really go for putting leah on. that would be a huge asset to the lafco. thanks. commissioner mirkarimi: thank you. >> i wish i had 10 minutes to go on about what i want to say, which l which leah pimentel must be teh lafco public member. i cannot say and in any less forceful terms. her leadership, not only her existing skills, but her potential and where she is going to go in terms of her leadership for the community is incredible. i have known her for a year-and- a-half at this point. we met over the ca

until recently, in charge of a blues stand at the bayview. the applicant has done substantial neighborhood outreach and the staff has received no objections to the applications. planning has indicated the permit and the use. when i wrote this memo earlier today, i did not have a response to i got it at about 3:30 p.m. and there are three conditions with their recommendations for approval so if i could just read them into the record. the applicant has a security plan. here is a good neighbor policy. the applicants shall be responsible and comply with all laws the applicant shall have no more than 40 people inside of the establishment unless they have a place of assembly permit from the fire department. none of this is particularly surprising. in any case, the staff is recommending the permit. >> we have recommendations with the planning department that says not permitted. >> that was changed and i thought that i had included it. >> if you see this in fact, behind you will see a permanent as a continuation of previous use sine on. >> again, pres

luke's hospital, and we have another clinic in bay view at the bayview pediatric clinic to serve that community. our work has gone on for approximately 10 years. we have partnered for pediatric services with the academy, st. anthony's foundation, as well as glide. we are now in their preschool, serving three- and 4-year-old. we are currently in discussion and have been the last year, with many of the providers to identify the gaps in pediatric services for children and families. and within this community workgroup we are coming up with a definitive plan to address those gaps. as you commissioners are fully aware, the tenderloin is the largest concentration of children of families in the city and county of san francisco, and as a result of that, this is where the child development center has really focused, within the last 10 years, our efforts to serve that community. in closing, i just want to state that we will continue our commitment to expand our services to the children, not only of the tenderloin but to the other communities in san francisco. we are currently partnering with the

when you know that, you know that these people need our reach, especially in the bayview hunters point and the portola housing projects, as well as tackling the environment issues. it is no wonder that we have a disproportionate rate of asthma. we need to tackle the environment issues, but we also need to have more of the on the ground community outreach to deal with it. >> thank you. >> mr. moss. >> i started san francisco community power in 2001. i was placed on the tax forsk fe in 2002. i will help close a plant this year. i'm on the task force that has a book that air toxins in district 10. if you look at the map of for the pollution is, it is in district 10. it comes from the freeway. the city of san francisco has adopted an ordinance that all new developments has to be built in a certain way. everyone who lives in the district right now, including my daughter who has respiratory problems, is not protected in the same way. that's not acceptable. you can see exactly where the holes are. there are not even walls between some of the house is in the district and the freeway. that is u
