our community, the diversity in the city, all of the things that built this city and made this city soattractive to these companies, and we're not the beneficiaries of that. with the low numbers of people of color and diversity in their employment, i would suspect that the jobs didn't come from our community. i have a son born in san francisco general hospital 40 years ago. he lives in south san francisco. he's unemployed, and an unemployed tech employee at the moment. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> thank you, supervisor mar, for your leadership on calling for this hearing. this is definitely very important. my name is shen lee, and i'm with seiu 1021. i'm speaking as a long-term resident of this city. i've been here 26 years, currently living in a rent controlled apartment, and thanks to that rent controlled apartment, i'm still here today. as a resident, i'm very concerned that our public services are already super under funded and overloaded. we have a public health crisis? my car got broken into three times in the last three months. there's definitely -- there's

facing the city. we provide housing to the poorest, mental healthcare to the uninsured, drug treatment, dog -- job training, and an array of other services most close to the edge and our community. without adequate funding to support these wage increases, this would amount to budget cuts for the organizations that perform these vital services where the need is only increasing. i'm afraid these services would suffer. the last thing that the city needs is a reduction or disruption of exactly these types of services. also, to not provide full funding would undermine the very spirit of the ordinance, which the voters approved since squeezing the budget, a very lean organization will invariably lead to impact on staff wages and will ultimately could wage -- lead to wage stagnancy, higher increases or what layoffs for other people or everyone involved, so we support full funding, not just because it is the right thing to do to support workers, but also because we are housing organizations, we are affordable

populations in the city. in particular, the native american population. on theed to start historical beginnings, the first time we have written records in washington d c. that was 1908 when john smith and wentrom jamestown to the native american village on the banks of the anacostia. >> let's focus on the early american. --- american period. what was the makeup at the time? prof. musgrove: once congress got here in 1800, it was 20% african-american. tobacco carved out of plantation counties. they were plantations in the middle of the city today. there was already a large black population in the area. as folks decided to employ slaves, and in certain cases, free blacks on the construction projects building the capital, that population remained constant through the end of the antebellum. -- antebellum period. >> how many were free compared to those who were enslaved? prof. musgrove: when congress comes to town in 1800, the vast majority are enslaved. that changes rapidly, largely because of changes in agricultur

the free city programme. we have $5 million that we have not been funded for the programme by the city. i think we would like to work with everyone in this room to expand that. i would hope that the city and county of san francisco and voters will also support orest r efforts on a new facility's bond. we heard how toilets don't work and students who can't come to class because their classes are flooded. there are few things to drive students away like flooded classrooms and facilities that are far below what you would find in community colleges nearby and students who are leaving to access, so i hope the city will support us in that effort and i hope that if there is a desire for the city to prioritize the offering of classes that provide a core social service to the city and county of san francisco, that the state no longer prioritizes and is not funding us for, this is a conversation that will include the board of trustees, the administration, the faculty, the classified staff and the students who again are

the city during the gold rush days, the phoenix became part of the city feel and i love the symbolismthe phoenix, about transformation and the message that the theme of the phoenix provides, we all have the power to transform our world for the better. we have to provide teachers with curriculum online, our curriculum is in two different languages and whether it's lesson plans or student fact sheets, teachers can use them and we've had great feedback. we have helped public and private schools in san francisco increase their waste use and students are working hard to sort waste at the end of the lunch and understand the power of reusing, reducing, recycling and composting. >> great job. >> i've been with the department for 15 years and an environmental educator for more than 23 years and i'm grateful for the work that i get to do, especially on behalf of the city and county of san francisco. i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with

with the annual overtime report we have three main goals. first is to look at city wide overtime in the hours and expenditures. second the departments with the highest overtime use. we looked at the admin code and check if departments are adhering to overtime restrictions and we'll get to that at the end. we see the increase and it's consistent with overtime share of spending as the total budget. it's about 2% of the total budget and remained around there over the entire time period. this is a list of the top departments for overtime use in '17, '18. the top there's a clear break wen -- between them and everybody else and you see the four to five to six range and the one to two range admin services got to make the top 10 this year. >> it's not a fiscal issue because it doesn't cost more than hiring an additional person to take care of the hours. the reason is if you hire an additional person out of the gate you have to pay them two or three weeks of vacation, 12 days of holidays, sick time and health insurance and every hour worked accrues retirement cost which is r

the city is presently paying to ecology. would you specify on a piechart somehow each quarter of the dollar is being expended. $4 million is spent yearly. visually information might encourage public support and mitigating expenses rather than spending opportunities. would you be willing to install in the airport and in the city coin resepcles to collect change from individuals providing them the opportunity to unload the change they may be carrying in modest revenue through small donations. the city's population is day and evening that goes the to day and evening factors. the airport is used by millions. coin receptacles can be emptied to maintenance is not time consuming. 50 resepcles to plant a thousand trees. it might raise public consciousness and civic contribution. i saw one displayed in indianapolis a few days ago. they are enjoying a high volume of new construction. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. thank you for hearing this matter. i am the chief operating officer at the s

and the lifeblood of this city is the tigris river.move down it, the more polluted the tigris becomes. it's almost as if iraq is poisoning itself. it's nearly 500km from baghdad to the city of basra. it's home to the country's main port and once fertile farmland. but now, it's hard to find fresh water here. and the rising salinity of the water is having a crippling effect on the city. this was basra last summer when the city erupted in anger. protesters were furious about corruption, unemployment and poisoned water. gunfire the authorities cracked down hard. more than a dozen demonstrators were killed. basra was a broken city. this wounded protester cursed the city's leaders as the scum of the earth. a city once known as the venice of the east had become a vision of hell. its canals, a symbol of corruption and dysfunction. the sweltering summer heat, turning this into a toxic stew. tens of thousands were rushed to the city's hospital, suffering from stomach cramps and serious diarrhoea. doctors and nurses were overwhelmed. the city had

we all live in the same beautiful city. we all are impacted by the homeless crisis, and every day at st. anthony's, we bring in homeless people from all over san francisco to help serve the homeless. every day, we hear from folks that are in desperate need of housing, in need of supportsive services. we're thrilled -- supportive services. we understand that the stigma surrounding homeless folks is real, but we know it's mothers and daughters, fathers, and sons out there. and we encourage people to join us, join glide in helping and supporting and showing and understanding compassion by meeting your neighborhood and through volunteering opportunities. we believe that right now, we have a real opportunity to bring san francisco together and provide solution based paths out of suffering for all of our neighbors. h.s.h. and safe navigation centers provide that path. today we have an opportunity to take an important step twoerow healing and showing all of san francisco that it's up to us and together we're giant. >> thank you. ma

we are asking if this is the citdirection the city wants to . i have old guys calling me all the time they want to retire and they can't. >> because they can't sell their business? >> yes. i want to add also. i think it is good the economic adjustment program piece is left a little open so we can have supervisors have buy in on what that would be. i would like to include in the manner we have been talking including technical assistance and material support for upgrades in equipment including age checking technology. maybe that is a compromise that retailers and the city would take as opposed to full buy back. >> i think the spirit of this is that we want to be highly specific but not prescriptive. what we don't want to do is say something very vague to the supervisors because they are not going to come up with the small business solution. we know that. they are not small business owners. that is our job. being very specific and direct about what we propose and being mindful of what is practical. there are certain demands you cannot make of the go

seniors in the city is also the highest density of homeless in the city. so if we're really concerned with what's best for children, seniors, and the homeless, then we should be building a navigation center in this neighborhood so we can disburse some of the burden on the rest of the city, and that's just a fact. privilege does not mean you don't get to participate in the solution. you're actually becoming part of the problem, right? and the people that they're talking about that they don't want in their neighborhood were already there before they came and plopped their ivory tower down and decided it was there neighborhood. we're not talking about people that don't belong here. they were already here. they were san francisco residents when they were displaced. they're our neighbors, they're our family, and they're our community, and they have as much right to live in this neighborhood as anyone else. i ask you to support it because it's the right thing to do. delaying it may cost lives. thank you. >> thank you. >> my name is ted, and i live in the area and

it seems not to be to me. >> maybe the city attorney. the issue is residential hotel ordinance. >> i think inspector reardon may have thoughts. >> from what i see it is interior work within the shell of an existing building so in cases like that, planning generally don't get involved because they don't have anything of substance to look at. there is no change of use or occupancy. >> the issues of the difference between the residential hotel and the apartment house are not in the building code? >> the only thing i see here first they talked about remodeling bathrooms. now, i hear they are adding bathrooms. i don't know that that would be anything that planning would look at for change of use or occupancy. i don't see anything in the documents that would suggest that planning would be reviewing this for what it is. >> were there any change in number of units? >> no, no. >> same number of units now instead of community bathrooms they are individual bathrooms and there is a community kitchen? >> it was signed off by planning. it was applicati

to grow and the challenges will increase so nor city in the world the job is done and i think for a city like delhi the the knowledge is particularly painful because it affects our help lucian is a public health editor and see something we need to be densely what it about. so what are the authorities doing here to tackle the most obvious causes of delhi's dirty air. transport sector is one of the biggest contribution to the city's apparition this is made worse by the fact that there's a still real sharp fall in the public transport system the delhi government says it's taking steps to fix this problem. last year then he made the commitment that he will bring in $1000.00 we are looking buses this is the largest commitment by any city in india. by one. just mention the delhi government has been working on an ambitious electric vehicle plan for the city if we are able to achieve the goal of ensuring that 25 percent of all new to start way goes in there are electric bills in 5 years from now our goal is that going to look at 100 percent of transition and reduce this 30 to 40 per cent its

i've lived in the city for 37 years. the last seven years, i lived in an s.r.o. -- i mean, studio, affordable studio. and i'm afraid to go into the hospital because i'm going to lose everything i have, and i'm going to be in had a wheel with chair, sleeping on the sidewalk, the one that you're sitting around, talking about what are you going to do with these people? i see so much disconnect in the community. people, places -- i got lost in the city that i call home for 37 years because i didn't recognize the neighborhood. that's ridiculous. we have to do better by our citizens, by our people. if these i.p.o.s are going to invest in us, we need to know about all of them, not just the actual bank accounts. thank you. >> supervisor mar: thank you. is there any other members of the public that wish to speak on this issue? seeing none, public comment is closed. i want to really thank all the diverse community members and workers and advocates for sharing your experiences on the i.p.o. and tech earthquake that the city is facin

both at -- in many other aspects of the city. obviously the most important part is to save lives, to help people in many ways, but research also shows it would be a savings for the city, as well. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am from compass family services. i'm here to voice our unequivocal support for this incredible piece of legislation, and i also wanted to raise a point that while we were very appreciative of the fact that homeless services were prioritized in the last round of eraf funding, unfortunately, they weren't specific investments made that targeted homeless children, youth, and families, so now that we have been blessed with this additional opportunity to have an infusion of eraf dollars, we want to make the case that children, youth, and families who are experiencing lack of stability should be prioritizing how we allocate these resources. as part of the our city, our home coalition budget proposal, we are asking for a specific investment of $11 million to support the construc

use the city contractor. when they elect for the city contractor or no response is received and the repairs have not been made in a timely manner, the city will make the repairs and then we'll come before you annually to have those costs added to the property taxes in the case of non payment. this year we had 791 invoices issued to property owners as part of the program. 712 were paid prior to notifying about the hearings. after providing notice as much may 7, 62 invoices were removed from the original list. as of today, 761 of the 79 is invoices which is roughly 97%. so we are currently putting forth 30 invoices totalling $44,438.80 inclusive the administrative fee. the abatement program is similar except it's more of a reactive program to be more nimble to address areas and abate sidewalk conditions that are proposed hazards in one sense or another. this year as part of that program, we had 141 invoices and 66% were paid. after sending out notice in advance of the hearing, 46 invoices totalling another $64,

few impressions of what's going on the city during this event. free to behold and mainly outdoors the last time 35 artists from around the world exhibited their work in minster was in summer 2017. many public spaces became stages like this one performance art in the historical town hall. in the city's inland harbor from turkey installed an underwater bridge. and on the promenade a fountain with plaster and bronze figures by nicole eisenman from new york. the works were placed all over the city and not always easy to find in a dark tunnel thermoelectric chandelier. from braman. and. in a derelict cemetery cameroonian artist and a young lady installed his celestial masks. this sort of vent has been mounted in minster every 10 years since 977 and some works even get to stay when it's over. my final stop today is the crew for to take a lively quarter popular with students i'm going to pop into a quaint traditional restaurant called. regulars can store their personal beer steins by the bar by the way or get a beer has been brewed years since 1978 just

the beast. maybe that's city government. but right here right now, if i'm making referrals to folks out in the community and i say go to the department of aging and adult serves because they can help you with what? >> right. so primarily -- it's changing. so that's -- it's not an easy answer because primarily, it has been nutrition, transportation, case management, community services which has basically meant senior centers. it's exercise classes. it's those kinds of things. but more recently because we've seen more and more of a need for things like housing and employment, you know, and those requests have bubbled up more and more, we have gotten a little bit into that role. so we do have a small housing subsidy program, but we're not the primary housing provider for san francisco. that's really mayor's office of housing and community development and the homeless department, which serves homeless people, obviously, and does supportive housing. we have a small subsidy program to help people prevent homelessness. we have gotte

it was the city of temples now it's a city of ruins. the prime minister wants to be directed from water in the sea. and the controversy seems to have little impact on his chances. on the campaign trail modi is treated like a celebrity. his stop are has been the main draw for the b.g.p. across the country. moby has said that the wood for the b.g.p. is a vote for him. many who could see no alternative to walking for the prime minister . even the opposition has speeded week candidates practically giving him a walkover. hindu nationalism has been a bold plan for the b j p and the prime minister is counting on this holy cities indorsement to once again be the country. just well who filed that report now joins us from far and say hello to you misha so as we heard in your report modi's development plans for the city of r n r c are quite unpopular among many locals is this likely to cost him support at the ballot box. well why is the region from plants around the world be cautious not dampened have brought in criticism it actually looks like it

if the city and the h.s.h. cannot successfully manage the navigation centers currently, if they cannot fulfill the policy at a 70-bed facility, how can we expect them to do this at a navigation center that's two to three size of the centers of their current failures. how can you trust them with the land that you're responsible for? i'm willing to have an open mind, but i stug will to support a program with a 54% failure rate. less than one in six homeless land in supportive housing. how poorly would the navigation centers have to perform before someone starts to ask questions. instead of raising the number of beds, perhaps questions could be asked to improve services in the navigation centers could be asked. require them to improve the model before allowing them to super size them. what would it take for the navigation center rates to improve their failure from 54% to 40% to 30%? improving the services and reducing the failure rate will do more to help the homeless than blindly throwing more beds at them. in 20

this is how it looks now around the city. the propose antenna is out of character and will decrease the property value and will compromise the beauty our neighborhood. we're all concerned what's happening in our streets and the city spend so much money to clean up the streets. our skyline will look the same. it's clearly a visual pollution and the city has to right and power to stop it. this is an urgent matter before you and we ask you to common datcommondatemandatearticle 25 r appeal. thank you. >> we'll hear from the permit holder. >> good evening president swig and members of the board. i too will miss mr. fung and his wonderful voice. i'm sure he'll do a wonderful job on the planning commission. the appellant mentioned rules about placement of an historic window. those rules are appropriate protecting the city and those are the rules that verizon wireless has followed in getting this application approved by the department of public works, the department of public health and the planning department. the t-mobile case that

my company has in the city of san francisco. the one that had the most participation before this was tenderloin. i did that in 2005. this one had has had 30 to 50 people talking about this plan. this is the survey results. you can see when we do a survey, we list what the properties are, supportive are green, red are people opposed. yellow are people stated no opinion. and based upon this, we met our threshold of properties. the survey demonstrated that the biggest services that people really wanted to fund -- because the cbd really is just a financing mechanism. and it's supposed to fund only special benefits. so is marketing promoting the area to create new demand. rincon, union square, everything surrounding the district was marketing and promoting it. if you google financial district, there is really nothing there. we decided as part of the survey, because we had property managers that represented jackson square, that they wanted jackson square included too. but it alone would not generate the revenues to make an impact. we m

we were the second city in the united states to pass a vision zero policy to end traffic fatalities. now we're joined by dozens of cities nationally. and i'm really heartened to see a national regional statewide conversation starting about traffic safety. i think many don't know how adversely it impacts our society and our neighborhoods, but you know, when you're kind of in the thick of it, you hear how many people know someone hit by a car and how that has impacted their lives. san francisco, we've been tracking how many fatalities we have annually for a century. and this represents -- this grab shows 15 years. and you see the highest number of fatalities at 41 in the year 2007. we adopted vision zero in 2014, a year that we had 31 fatalities. 2017 was our least fatal year in the history of our record keeping. with still far too many deaths at 20. and we had 23 deaths last year in 2018. i'm saddened to report that currently to date we have 11 recorded fatalities and three probable that will be by the end of the month, so we're certainly trending in the wrong direction, but we're hope

we talked about city college and the budget. they're dealing with some budget issues and having to make cuts as somebody who -- i'm glad i didn't have to make any of those decisions because it was, you know, mostly hearing from city college folks and then there was a lot of testimony from the public. what was really apparent is that city college is a community college. it's not just a junior college. while we want -- as a city, we want to make sure that their goal is transferring students to other colleges and graduating students, there is also -- it's such a wide range of folks who go to city college. there's young people who are seen as like a bridge to -- they talked about it as a bridge. i really like that. a bridge to four-year college, but also older folks are taking it as ways to just continue to be in school and be in community and for people to do art. then there's also a sense of community that's there and a lot of folks spoke to that as a meeting space in doing the arts or lgbtq community, the classes are an important

shield appears to be more expensive then the city plan. when you get down to then -- when you get down to the member contribution, it is more for the city plan, even though the total cost is less, so how does that work? >> there is a historical basis for how total cost rates have been set, established long before i personally became involved with the san francisco health services system. as a refresher, one of the things that we are working towards with 2020 being year two of the three-year transition, is to migrate city plan total cost rate relationships between the single tier coverage and the family tears for early retirees to be consistent with the relationships that are in place today with blue shield and kaiser. with respect to the employer contribution, the city charter defines the elements of the formula that we utilized to calculate the employer contributions, and then by definition, subtracting those from the total planned rates to generate member contributions, and the employer contributions are the same for those in retiree plus
