that the city is doing very well. that is, i may say, a very positive spin but that city is also one of the most divided in the world and if one looks at it from the point of view of arab citizens it isa the point of view of arab citizens it is a city which is consistently failing its people. well, i totally disagree with you. the reality is if you look at our arab population they are doing far better than anywhere in the region, syria, gaza, the arab residents ofjerusalem are part of the city and they have the same quality of health services, they are pa rt quality of health services, they are part of thejob quality of health services, they are part of the job and the economy, their education system is doing much better, so in any practical parameter of the arab residents of jerusalem are doing far better than in the past and far better than any arab in the area. this is a two tier city where arabs are second—class citizens. you talk about the achievements of your ten years and you have a tech sector like never before

flow of tourism revenue into the city and confirms that living in venice is becoming increasingly difficult for its residents. oh yes they go there you know they displaced of course the residence of accommodation. and there is very profitable to rented to use the house. is. the father know. that the buy a house the me benis as an investment in good so they just follow renting to us and this is when they can get an income which is. very treatable thing yeah which for your list. of. and you measure because you were here by how we were leaving you can marry the two you preferred. he also tells me that much of the income on private accommodation is on the clad revenue that soley needed in debt ridden city coffers . while you're just asked if. you do you need the phone why is that so many times they say oh we don't need this so i can give you all would be to discount. it just to make sure i'm more than. fifty percent of thirty percent about a year in venice. or ninety percent of the issue. is this the city's fault would i act t

the city. each building here has a unique history all its own if you want to learn more about gurlitz is rich cultural heritage it's a good idea to book a guided tour of the city. twenty five years ago the maastricht treaty was signed paving the way for european integration here in the german polish border region you get a much clearer sense of what that means. until nine hundred forty five goal its was a german city that occupied both banks of the westernised the river but after world war two the river became the new border separating east germany and poland the eastern half of gurlitz became the polish town of school jealous all of the bridges were destroyed. the alltel bridge was rebuilt in two thousand for the same here that poland joined the european union and today this bridge is a central location for both cities and at the same time a strong symbol for a united europe. there are no border posts or passport controls here you bearly notice you're crossing into another country. there are p

twenty one finds out if the city has lost its mojo or just grown up and small turned up. to be another was founded in the heady days of nine hundred ninety eight now in its tenth edition this year's event is as wilfully contradictory and complex as the city itself. it's happening all over town this year's ballon be on allah is taking place in find different locations. stoppers the academy there construct in western. a ruined incredibly true to life this. work is made of poppea mâché and is called song to see is the name of both an imperial palace in haiti and the famous palace of frederick the great in potsdam the work connects history and continents. chief curator gabi kobo is fed up with the white western perspective her team is black and international a statement but not of intent they refused to restrict their focus to post colonial and racial issues. something which always crops up which we consciously try to resist with our written statements to we make a point of not using words like africa colonialism post-colonialism multiculturalism diversity and so on. but when

the city is quiet, one of the safest cities in the world, so i believe i leave the city in a very positivetum. i received it and it was not very positive, to say the least. i believe in every practical parameter you check out, is the city doing well, it is common practice that the city is doing very well. well, that is, i may say, a very positive spin, but this city is also one of the most divided in the world. and if one looks at it from the point of view of its arab citizens, it is a city which is consistently failing its people. well, i totally disagree with you. the reality is, that if you look at our arab population injerusalem, they are doing far better than anywhere in the region, than syria, sumaria, gaza, the arab residents ofjerusalem are part of the city. they have the same quality of health services, they are part of the job and the economy, their education system is doing much better, so in any practical parameter the arab residents ofjerusalem are doing far, far better than in the past, and far better than any arab in the area. but this is a two—tier city, where arabs are sec

as i enter the city to i'm overwhelmed. by also for under the spell of its more than ten thousand year history. but i quickly notice the hordes of people tourists are everywhere all year round. and of course i notice that giant ships which dwarf the city's monuments every day up to nine cruise ships sail into the heart of venice. in addition cheap souvenir trinkets assault on every corner. what does all this do to the city and its inhabitants is it still possible to live a normal life here resistance is growing people are taking to the streets i hear them protesting. for this report i've gone behind the scenes in venice i find decay catastrophic housing conditions in the center a city in decline. shouted out shops. all this has a road at the city's quality of life for its resident population. a disaster the because nobody want to. give up our political initiatives citizens are paying in terms of damages to their city and it's in their health was caused by the big ships i want to fight for this. how could it come to this in.

i am the president of the central city democrats. i am the daughter of a man who was murdered by the police in oakland. and i am also a member of the harvey mill club and axis of love. i am saying that gang injunctions are public safety or gentrifycation? and if the cops keep arresting the same people over and over and over, and then calling them a gang, it just seems like they are creating the narrative. and why -- now, i am not really posing this as a question, but lenoir was developing property across the street from the first injunction in the bayview. i am aware of that. so it's just -- i am more afraid -- it terrifies me. and i walk down the street all the time at night, every time of night in the tenderloin where i live and no one has ever messed with me. i don't know if it's because i'm a big girl, but no one messes with me, you know. and i have -- i love people there in the tenderloin and it is my heart. and no legal representation and a huge violation of the civil rights and they are on the list for life. and when i was hipp

well, i'm not going to clean up the city by myself. [laughter] all of you are an important part of helping us to clean up this beautiful city. and so not only are gheing to go clean it up but we're going to keep it that way and make sure that we all play an important role in doing that. so i'm excited to be here today to talk about this investment and at this time i want to take this opportunity to introduce your leader of this particular amazing district 10, president of the board of supervisors, malia cohen. >> thank you, thank you. [applause] good morning, ladies and gentlemen. i've got to admit that now that london has become mayor now district 10 is so amazing and so wonderful. [laughter] to be fair when she was a supervisor of district 5 there was a rivalry between which district was the best. but now that she's the mayor of the entire city every district is the best. so i want to applaud mayor breed for that. thank you so much. i hope that you guys are excited to be here because, you know, i think that on a surface value -- a sur

in the city of san francisco for the past six years. the proposed ordinance would be prohibitive to end l.b.e. ' ability to participate in public works projects in san francisco. most of these businesses cannot be sustained, especially in the early years solely by public works projects. and what this ordinance does is it would force their hand to participate or become a signatory to unions which they may not be in a financial position to do yet. and so, i believe that l.b.e.'s should be made exempt from the city wide p.l.a. ordinance so they businesses have an opportunity to be nurtured and grow and consistently with what the city of san francisco has always believed in, and purported. >> thank you. [applause] >> hello. my name is dorothy. i'm a resident of san francisco. we would like to have 100% l.b.e. exemption from the p.l.a. ordinance. we would also like a trade union to open up their membership and document to the city how they are recruiting long-term local residents who are women cap who are people of colour back and who are im

the want to marked where you'll find a city hall is the town's main square. next door is the iconic shown whole of the town's oldest renaissance era edifice. and chanting backdrops are everywhere that's why filmmakers have often chosen gurlitz as a shooting location for example many scenes from around the world in eighty days were shot in the city full force uses hoses the soldier or shot in this roof. then he spectacularly slid across it and fell. as you will probably recall this into some cardboard boxes which saved his life. gurlitz has grown so popular with hollywood producers that some now affectionately call it girlie would. u.s. director wes anderson for instance chose this former art nouveau department store as the backdrop for grand budapest hotel which is set in a fictional hotel from the nine hundred twenty s. that gives the film its name. and. sixty dollars. each building here has a unique history all its own if you want to learn more about gurlitz is rich cultural heritage it's a good idea to book a guided tour of the city. twenty five years ago

kennedy visited berlin, and speaking to the people of this city and the world at the city hall, well,hen two other presidents have come, each in his turn, to berlin. today i, myself, make my second visit to your city. [ applause ] we come to berlin, we american presidents, because it's our duty to speak in this place of freedom, but i must confess we're drawn by other things, as well. by the feeling of history in this city, more than 500 years older than our own nation, by the beauty of the grunewald and the tiergarten. most of all by your courage and determination. [ applause ] perhaps the composer paul linky understood something about american presidents. you see, like so many presidents before pe, i come here today because wherever i go, whatever i do, ich hab noch einen koffer in berlin. [ applause ] our gathering today is being broadcast throughout western europe and north america. i understand that it is being seen and heard as well in the east. to those listening throughout eastern europe, i extend my warmest greetings and the goodwill of the american people. to those listening

as well as the entire city. yor's office of economic workforce development, the arts commission, and several other bodies do not now have any really input in the process in the neighborhoods. they don't. we need a new chc to have that broad purview so that members of the public, rather than having to go to five different groups to keep up with what is going on in their neighborhood, can come to one place and learn. the last thing is, community benefits for south of market have to focus on south of market. right now the plan often designates funds could be used in transbay as well. that is not appropriate, please correct. [bell ringing] >> supervisor safai: next speaker. >> hi, supervisors. christie wong. i wanted to thank you for the opportunity to weigh in. i don't have detailed comments, but wanted to underscore the importance of the plan and moving it forward as quickly as possible. we're pleased to see the use of ab 73 to create a housing sustainability district here that will expedite the housing we need. th

what place does the board of supervisors see for cannabis in the city's ecosystem. is the intent to nurture or encourage this industry? what is the extra tax revenue for, these businesses already pay one gross receipt to tax. if a second is collected will it be leveraged for other campaigned throughout the commune. what about brings those currently under taxes and industries up to fairity instead of adding to an already ave overtaxed industry. although our idea is to tax cannabis in the same way other businesses are taxed, if the board is set on treating the business differently maybe that would bring us closer to what david just spoke of. there are many cities that look at cannabis and see a source of tax revenue, but we don't have to do that. we are small businesses and have families and i hop let's be inclusive and fair and welcome this community instead of siloing it and feeding misconceptions. >> if there are any other speakers that would like to comment, please get in line. >> my name is loss gor dens and i work with california grower's association. i work arou

power -- i mean the city projects receive city power. recently the mayor facilitated a meeting with myself and ms. williams to help put a short-term plan together to energize city construction projects with the city power more quickly. and so therefore there's hope that we can work together to resolve a lot of the short-termed and work on the long-time. i'm definitely honored to meet ms. williams. she seems very committed. i'm very opt -- optimistic. we have discussed a shared interest in negotiating a long-term settlement of issues. to this end, together, pg&e and puc have identified a process that we hope will address current challenges with the number of city projects that need more power in 2018. this short-term arrangement will allow us to focus on the efforts for long-term resolution through the preferred process. we're hopeful that we can work together. we're looking forward to seeing the results on the ground soon. but i believe both puc and the pg&e agree that accountability is the key in assuring we move forward together. i hope

it's the quintessential industrial divers american city. and it followed kind of a growth logic that serve as a pattern for most major metropolitan areas in the united states. first of all, it was located strategically or commerce, chicago is located at the point where you would dig between the mississippi river watershed and the great lakes and points east and of course when the railroads came in it was ideally located as a railroad hub . it was sitting on the doorstep of some of the most for tile agricultural land in the world and also it was within relatively easy reach of natural products like wood. there was timber nearby and plenty of iron or and these things that serve as the basis of heavy industryand of course if you've got heavy industry, that creates jobs and jobs bringimmigrants and presto, you have a large diverse industrial city . new orleans was an exception in many ways . oldest city, much smaller city and it had this unique french, spanish caribbean history and heritage that really sets it apart from i think virtually any ot

we kick off the show in london no of course tourists want to see the main attractions of the city but there is a whole other side of the british capital worth seeing author bill nash has written a travel book that helps tourists get off the beaten path oh we met up with him in london. reagents canal watches its way north of central london but it's surprising a tranquil the canal runs almost parallel to the river thames. london author bill nash is interested in the more secluded parts of his hometown. in the past ten years. and in particular since the london olympics a lot of the canals around london a being revitalized cleaned up. life is being reintroduced and that's a lot of people living on house boats nash describes the lesser known aspects of the city in his book secret london. now day trippers cruise along regent's canal from little venice to camden. but there are plans to use the canal for transporting freight out in the past. along the banks people can shop for books on a houseboat for visit the house the venue strange and. one of the rooms is devoted to the patterns of the ce

the business of this city and this chamber. so many parts of the pieces of the puzzle come together and there are so many people that play an important role of bringing those pieces together. so i am really excited about tomorrow. i am grateful to each and every one of you. i look forward to a better san francisco i know that none of s is perfect but as a person who is responsible for leading this city, i commit to you that i will do everything i can add to -- can to make a unifying voice. for someone who works with you and provides an opportunity for us to make together -- work together and talk about those issues. we know politics sometimes is a politics and politics will never go away. but at the end of the day, i want to know that i will do everything i can to put the politics aside for the purposes of running the city and doing a good job so we can all be a proud of the results that we get because of the work we are doing

san francisco is one of the richest cities in the world. at the same time, every night, there is more than 7,500 homeless people sleeping on the streets. suffering. homeless people are like human beings, like all of us. we should be treated as human beings. and housing is a basic human right. with this act, i ask for $14.8 million increase in funding for homeless families and i thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i work in the coalition of homelessness. today, came to speak on behalf of the group. today we are demanding $14.8 million for funding. services, families. we are asking for a 3.8 million for new subsidies. we are asking for replacing the family shelter. 1.9 million. 2.6 million in the bay view. so the only thing i want to share with you is you are spending $20 million in criminalizing homeless people. besides using this money to criminalize homelessness -- >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. next speaker.

[speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: in the investigation, employers hired two attorneys to fight and try to settle with us for less than what they audit for the findin findings. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: one of the employers called us and said, hey, you guys just won money. i gave you money. just drop the claim. [speaking foreign language] >> voice of translator: we are so upset that the employer called and told us we just one money. we learned that it is our right to receive minimum wage, and when we work more than eight hours a day or more than 40 hours a week, we are entitled to receive overtime pay. so we stick together and stood up for our rights.

that is the city of los angeles, the county of los angeles, city of san diego, the county and city of sacramento, and we get no support for artists here in san francisco. so i hope that this -- this measure will address this, and i urge you to support it. thank you very much. >> hello, supervisors. my name is vinnie patel. i'm very excited to be here. i'm also a comanager of the vindelson studios. i'm on the board of asian american women artists association. i've been in the arts administration -- i've been in arts administration for over 20 years. i grew up in san francisco in the mission district, and i have to tell you, this is one of the most amazing times that i've ever been in. i don't wake up in the morning, figuring out who do i have to answer, who do i have to fight. this is an initiative where the whole community is behind it, not only community, but also city hall, and to be working with supervisor tang, supervisor peskin, who i never felt would have backed something, allocation from a tax, you know, to the arts, but we're in this moment right now, and it's a celebratory mo

that is the city of los angeles, the county of los angeles, city of san diego, the county and city of sacramento, and we get no support for artists here in san francisco. so i hope that this -- this measure will address this, and i urge you to support it. thank you very

on behalf of our 10,000 members, we urge the city to do more and to do it faster. if even the loss of life isn't enough for immediate street safety improvements, our city is failing our people. commissioners, thank you again for bringing this to the attention and let's keep pushing our city departments to do more. thank you. >> supervisor yee: thank you very much. any other public comments on this item? seeing none, public comment is now closed. any othermen comments, colleag? seeing none, then, this informational item -- let's move quickly to item six. >> clerk: item six, update from vision zero community groups. this is an information item. >> supervisor yee: miss deluca. >> good morning, noonish, good afternoon. good afternoon, chair yee, and commissioners. i am kathy deluca, the project coordinator for walk sf. so first, i'll start with the senior and disability work group. so this group forms in -- formed in 2016, and ad vocates from several departments came together and decided we needed to do something. it wasn't okay that two was killed. we knew that market

this, for us, in protocol and the sister cities, tops the list. lly says that, you know, san francisco is a city of many, many nations. that is what makes us so great, and this brings people together. as you know, the sister cities are for exchanges and culture, business, art, science, it goes on and on. what it is really about is about friendship. and you think about all the things that are going on in the world today, and we need more friendship. these committees that work so hard, and they represent the constituency of their particular countries, in this city, and in exchange with the cities across the way, so many miles away. but these may be lots of miles, but really, our hearts, and our arms are very close to the cities that our sister cities. may friendship rained with all the other things that are going on. and san francisco is a city that is a friendly city. we can do it better than anybody else. right, mayor? >> mayor farrell: yes. >> all right. [applause] anybody want to fight? [laughter] >> mayor farrell: one more round of applause for

we are stewards of the greatest city in the world, and we will rise up to the challenges of today. thank you. [applause] >> now, homelessness has plagued our city for decades, but the situation has never been so dire as it is right now. we will not solve this epidemic with one single answer, and this budget takes a multifacet multifaceted approach to making a real dent in the issue, to help stem the tight of homelessness and push back on the challenges that have confronted us for years on our streets. i also understand the roots of this tragedy are complex, they are not simple, and they are also not unique to san francisco, which is why over the past few months, i have partnered with ten of the mayor's of the other largest cities in california and advocated in sacramento, advocated with our governor, spent hours in sacramento together as mayors to ask for more than $1.5 billion in our state budget so that cities can address homelessness on our streets because we know the solutions that are working. and i want to say a special thanks to assembly man -- senator weiner, assembly men ch

city. so one of the things that we'll do is examine best practices in other cities. before i continue though i want to invite mr. logan from the transportation authority. >> supervisor fewer: hi, mr. logan. >> to share what their vision was for this particular research. >> supervisor fewer: sure. >> hi, commissioners. my name is warren logan. i'm a senior transportation planner at the san francisco county of transportation authority. soon enough our separate commission which is also the board of supervisors, will be hearing our final report, excuse me -- our final report for emerging mobility evaluation and i'm excited to present that to you soon. our vision is to partner with bryan and we're very excited to hear the enthusiasm for understanding the gaps around labor. primarily our focus was on how these different services were impacting congestion. so we recognize, however, that during our initial scope of our guiding principles for emerging mobility, that several of the commissioners encouraged us to include labor. and so, obviously, we're super enthusiastic to part

it happens often with our projects in the city of san francisco? >> it seems to happen a lot. >> barbara and i have worked closely on other projects. it's good the hear that issues, when they're raised, they get resolved. i think that holds the foundation for the longer term settlement. i think we agree to disagree, and those things are being addressed at furk. i think we're being clear on the 75 space kva upfront. what can happen at times is loads can change from both sf puc customer request -- >> is that 75kva load the same for other customers. >> that's what we use. >> so there's a different load for wholesale customers than there is for non-- >> there are different requirements for utilities versus a retail customer. >> i wonder -- so you require -- so this is not about safety or energy needs. this is about different treatment for wholesale customers than non-wholesale customers. you require bigger, more difficult infrastructure when it's wholesale customer than when it's a non-wholesale customer. >> good utility practice for the vast majority,

the city attorney makes recommendations and the board makes the decisions. you take it under advisement. i'm looking for a thought process, rationale, a strategy, on how you go about discerning between the advice that the deputy city attorney has given given what you know to be the facts in the case given what you are hearing in public comment. so it is not easy to do, but i'm not walking away with a good understanding of exactly how how that works. and, you know -- >> if i can clarify, the thought process is to sit down -- a lot of this is in closed session -- with the other commissioners and talk about how we want to proceed. >> supervisor cohen: okay. so for the members of the public, you may think this is adversarial. it's not. dr. marshall and i have worked together hand in hand for years. i grew up listening to him on the radio. i have been invited to the radio. >> what have you called me publicly? >> supervisor cohen: i don't know. uncle? we have a relationship. i don't know the answer to that, little bit of a trick question. >> i do. [laughter] >> su

this would save the city on costs. more police officers would be available for neighborhood foot patrol, on a -- >> supervisor cohen: thank you. what exactly is the budget ask? how many. >> it's 1.8 million for the station transfers unit, and that's a pilot program. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. next speaker, please. >> good morning. i am a member of the sheriff's association. i'm here to discuss the sheriff's budget request for more vehicles. currently our vehicles are lacking modern equipment for safe transportation such as seat belts and air bags. we are trying to avoid tragic situations like the one in baltimore with mr. freddy frafra gray, and we want to continue our positive responses where the deputies arrived and show up. we have outdated emissions controls, causing pollution and -- causing air pollution. we asked for 18. we wanted to ask for 30. we only got nine from the mayor's office, but we'd like to ask for more vehicles, please. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor cohen
