city? what the hell is happening to our city? we are talking about billions of dollar dollars, billions of dollars. we're not talking about millions of dollars. when it comes to the 5% community benefits, those should have been spent for our infants, our children, our youth, and it's not being spent. there is no due diligence. there is no enforcement. there is a prevailing pandemonium and madness in san francisco. thank you very much. >> clerk: there are no additional callers on the line. >> great. thank you, mr. de costa, for your time. >> clerk: item six, presentation from the san francisco municipal transportation authority about the 2014 transportation and road improvement bond and possible action by the committee in response to such presentation. >> good morning, committee members. jonathan rewers with the m.t.a. i am on my phone because my computer doesn't work. i hope mary can run my presentation for me and i'm happy to go through it with you. just a quick reminder as the presentation is loading, this is the first bond for

like this across the city. i'm happy to have this opportunity to present to you today. what i will do is share with you the current statistics on how the city is doing and also a perspective on where we are in this particular economic moment. this is not just a public health crisis. we are six months into the shutdown. we are also six months into an severe economic recession that will be with us after the public health emergency is over. it is also no ordinary recession because of covid. it's really the interaction between those things and the issues. i think they will shape the city 's recovery and one of its major priorities coming out. katie, if you can show the first slide. in april, when the economic statistics came out, it became clear that the united states had lost 10 years of job growth in one month. this is the san francisco metro division equivalent of that. you could see we lost 175,000 jobs between march of a -- march and april of this year. that was really businesses being forced to shut down, peop

the city was his hit with this with a lower back to its earthquake so it is near the western coastal city of turkey it has been witnessing as i sat earthquakes for more than one and a half years not only is my but also other coastal cities like moola the magnitude was around $3.00 up to $4.00 yes those western cities have been shaken have a lead in the last one year but this one the 7.0 magnitude or as the turkish agency suggest 6.6 or 6.8 magnitude was a shocking one because many people were in their homes it's the global pandemic era some people are working at home and not all the schools are doing face to face education some children or teenagers were again at home because they are doing online studies then. the western course so city of turkey is one of the largest cities of turkey it's not it's not only a tourist destination but also it's an industrial city it's not all it is known to be. with its services sector and the population is high in the city center that's why people are terrified and people are panicked because as the population is high in the city center the buildings

certainly, the open space in this city is fantastic. ally, in district 7, it's reasonably limited, so i am a huge fan of the parks. i think the parks are one of the most wonderful things that we have here in the city. golden gate park running from the middle of the city to the ocean, mclaren park being the biggest park in the city over here not too far from the district. what i think we need to do is maintain them. there's been calls to open up some of the nonused areas for development, and i am completely against that. what i want to say is the twablt to actually access them and for people to feel safe. i think it's one of the biggest issues for mclaren. you can look at it statistically as the biggest park in the city. there are safety concerns in the city that we really don't need to anymore. we need to use those parks and fund them. thank you. >> thank you, kenneth. next, we'll hear from stephen. >> i'm a huge proponent of open space. as a kid, i grew up within walking distance of mount davidson. glen canyon park, one of the few creek

"it appears that my worst fears have been realized. we have made progress in everything, yet nothing has changed." i want to acknowledge all of the different presentations from the different departments, but i want to say before i list the demands sent that if we aren't willing to name what this is, anti-black racism and that it permeates through individuals and leads to systemic anti-black racism and that is not going to be something that we can just meet about

as you can see the s.f. clean city coacity coalition make up e majority of the donors or the -- or the revenues that were going into these public works sub-accounts maintained by the s.f. parks alliance. one of the key things that we wanted to convey in this table is really how some of the same key donors that were providing donations to this public works sub-accounts were also the same ones that were doing business with the city by way of having permits during the timeframe that we reviewed, as well as payments that public works gave to these same donors during the time period as well. another one that we wanted to highlight, it wasn't just public works that had contracts or payments to these donors. but there were also departments that contributed, or that paid these donors by way of city contracts as well as payments through purchases. and this slide six basically focuses on how those donations were then expended by the department of public works. and as laid out here out of the $980,000 that were expended during th

i'm different from anyone else running in the entire city. nesty, straight talk, availability, and common sense. when was the last time you hear anyone mention those as themes of their campaign. when i decided to run, i decided to always tell the truth and never hold back. as supervisor, i plan to take a bold stance on the issues. first of all, i will have a see ror tolerance policy for crime, garbage, and drug dealing on our streets, and that position is nonnegotiatable. second, i will audit all the nonprofits that do business with the city to discover fraud and abuse. our homeless need real help. i will not defund the police. instead, i will seek to increase funding while pushing for the construction of a multiacre, fully modern joint police-fire training facility. i will aggressively expand muni metro by pushing for the construction of more subways and supported light rail. finally, i will do whatever it takes to protect small business by reducing fees and permits. i humbly ask for your first, second, our third choice votes. let's bring com
