possible cities that were considered. over the -- 30 cities were considered as a possible seat of government are possible capitol. everyone in connecticut wanted hartford and everyone in delaware wanted norman 10 and everyone in massachusetts wanted boston. nobody wanted the capitol capitol to be in another state. they all knew political power would follow the capitol and it would be an economic boon and no one wanted another city to have a leg up. ham for 25 years there was a fight over where the capitol city should be. next slide. core functioning government. we were living under the articles of confederation a loose quote unquote friendship. it took several drafts and years to even ratify the article. the problems the article didn't have courts. it had a camera will legislature and that's it but they could raise money to pay back the veterans. they couldn't govern. it was utterly and wholly ineffectual. we lacked the capitol city elect functioning government good luck with that and this is what washington responds to. next slid

it will display the history of the city. van ness avenue. >> president walton: thank you so much, and welcome to the march 2, 2021 meeting of the san francisco board of supervisors. [gavel]. >> president walton: madam clerk, will you please call the roll. >> clerk: thank you, mr. president. [roll call]

we clearly seen little bit of an emptying of the city. i think these numbers could be on the low side. we could be -- we could have lost 5% to 10% of the city population. right there, in addition to all the other factors in consumer spending, we have a smaller population than we had at the start of the pandemic. this is also showing up in apartment rents. san francisco seeing biggest drop in apartment rent that's tracked by the major rent brokers. this is data from apartment list. the good news, i guess, by january and now we have february in hand, we're starting to see little bit of recovery. february had a small increase over january. january is left over from december. we may have hit bottom in the apartment market and then that is going to be very closely tied to the migration data. when we get more migration data, we'll see people stopped moving around end of the year and now the question is, how long until we see a recovery? we have some additional data on small business closure rate. this is additional data from the opportunity inci

that's what the city's guidance is requiring. built on the float, that can move up and down as the water level rises, and sits on four fixed guide piles. so if the seas go up, it can move up and down with that. >> it does have a full range of travel, from low tide to high tide of about 16 feet. so that allows for current tidal movements and sea lisle rises in the coming decades. >> the fire boat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. >> the access ramp is rigidly connected to the land side, with more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then it is sliding over the top of the float. in that way the ramp can flex up and down like a hinge, and also allow for a slight few inches of lateral motion of the float. both the access ramps, which there is two, and the utility's only flexible connection connecting from the float to the back of the building. so electrical power, water, sewage, it all has flexible connection to the boat. >> high boat station number 35 will provide mooring for three fire bo

the value of city college training our future workforce. so i will say that i've had many conversations with both the chief of staff as well as the dean at city college to try to figure out how do we ensure that our students who really need the wrap around support will get that so they can stay at city college, persist through the courses and graduate and be able to come back and work within the city. working with supervisor mar, we've talked about different ways to provide that type of support within the city we have a model called the public education and enrichment fund in which we create a structure to provide that operational support for the district and allocation of more direct services. i think that's the vision of supervisor mar in trying to bolster and support city college. i think it's a more long-term strategy so we can have city college rarn for a long -- around for a long time. >> thank you. i appreciate that and sure we'll have ongoing conversations. it's great to hear about the efforts to have better pipeline and coordination

i've been promised the best carbonara in the city. come to the working class back streets and ask for the don. tell me what you do. >> i'm passionate for popular food, and for a time, i make a show where i play vinyl music -- >> like a dj. >> as a dj, yeah. >> but at the same time, i cook pasta as a grandma. >> daniel is a chef, historian and dj who cooks italian food. his stage name is don pasta. it's really great. don pasta has promised me the greatest dish of spaghetti car carbonara i've ever tasted. and on the way he tells me why pasta matters so much to him. >> i realize italian food is popular food. italian food is reticent of the normal people or working class people that eat well because the working class people create the roots of the italian food. >> yes. today we may think as a bowl of pasta as the ultimate comfort food, but there's a distinctively uncomfortable history of italians fighting oppression through pasta. in the early 1930s, mussolini and his fascists imposed import bans on various foreign goods. this led to food

to the city. thank you. >> thank you. is there anymore callers in the queue? >> clerk: i'm seeing that we have one more caller in the queue, and so i'll unmute our next caller now. >> hi there, commissioners. this is chris. i just wanted to discuss previously that i'm been following the land use hearing committee meetings by the board of supervisors pretty closely and there's been an extreme dearth of environment information in this recent legislation, and i wonder when we can expect the debris ordinance and legislation to come back to the board of supervisors and expect other exciting climate legislation given that we are in a climate emergency. i'd also like to say, as i have in every meeting that i'd like to see a carbon c attachment to every piece of legislation passed. it should be no less than $120 per metric ton of carbon. if we don't pursue this carbon fee, we're leaving about $20 million on the table that could go directly to, you know, communities that desperately need climate mitigation

a quaint reminder of the city's past. tor today, much as it was, when the first continental congress met here for the birth of a nation. the soldiers pause before america's most precious chime, the liberty bell. the graveyards of philadelphia, nestled close beside the city's historic churches, received the attention of men and women in uniform. the weathered tablets marking the grave, we'd like a who's who of the american revolution. there are many ways of spending a sunday afternoon in philadelphia, and one of them is at the national league ballpark, where the philadelphia fillies play. as part of the afternoon program for recreational activities, the ball game with cincinnati was a popular attraction for servicemen, and they're enthusiastic hosts. the among the synagogues in philadelphia, some are from the colonial days. the second oldest synagogue in the united states. founded in 1740, it was a congregation of -- solomon. revolutionary war hero, who spent a good portion of his life on the cause of freedom. when the hope

i hear the same fears and concerns across the city. the moratorium has been helpful, but it's also fair to say it just kicked the can down the road. the debt remains. this is the portion of the iceberg under the water which we cannot see. to the point earlier we don't know how many businesses have closed, we know even less about who the walking dead are. the commercial lease problem is this a musical chair between banks, real estate owners and small business. the music stopped and small business is the one left without a chair to sit in. i'll note that to date while i've personally been wiped out, none of my lenders or landlords have incurred any losses. to chair preston's point, i'll note the obstacle here is the taking clause of the 5th amendment, so i doubt that the state and the feds have the ability to control the rent and lease amounts. and i expect we'll need to be creative in coming up with solutions. some of you may be aware that state senator scott wiener tried to address the issue in april of 2020 with ab939 aiming to let bus

we've raised three kids in the city. i'm also from the midwest so i get a bunch of visitors from out of town. from the aesthetic standpoint, the farris wheel is very tasteful. it's not an amusement park like people have alluded to. it's a current attraction for kids who live here. not everybody who lives here or visits the park wants to look at roses or paintings. the farris wheel or something like it in my opinion has been missing from golden gate park and when it is taken down in four years, it's going to be missed then. i would also like to add that taking away from childrens' fun is exactly the kind of thing that lands san francisco in the national news for all the wrong reasons especially when we can't get kids back into school and when we can't get teachers affordable housing. i would suggest humbly that the grown-ups in charge of the supervisors focus on those issues full time as opposed to taking away the farris wheel. thank you. >> clerk: thank you. can we have the next caller. >> hello, can you hear me? >> clerk

we need the city to support any future rent relief. >> public comment is closed. if you have any comments, now is the time. supervisor mandelman. >> no further questions. i want to thank the folks from the city departments and from the civil rights for participating tomorrow and thank all of the callers who called in. i think we have learned a lot today. we have also found some areas where we need to dig some more and get some more information. particularly the data that was presented by the office of workforce development was a snapshot that does not paint the full picture of our current predicament, not to mention where we will be in six to eight months. i think, you know, finding ways to get as much accurate data as possible about what is going on and understand and analyze that is important. i do share the feeling of colleagues. supervisor ronen brought this up that deferring the vacancies after this year in some ways i would love to be able to turn that vacancy tax on for bad actors. i don't know if we can do. that is something i might be interested in. i also

up to the most recent standing up of the city's vaccine sites. i just wanted to express a tremendous amount of gratitude for the staff across the agency, and in many cases across the city, and something like shared spaces has been a really comprehensive program that came together to stamp things up quicker, i think, than we've ever done. this work was all housed in our department's operation center, which was also a tremendous case study within the agency for breaking down silos, pushing through bureaucracy, and i think a lot of really positive momentum and lessons, which will move us forward, alone with many close relationships and partnerships that staff have created. also, in addition to supporting the city's recovery, we absolutely needed to focus on covid safety for our staff and for our passengers. i think that we have one of the most extensive programs in the country. the first thing that we did was really look at the vehicle cleanliness. we are currently cleaning our vehicles twice a day so that all operators are going out with a clean bus

throughout the city. currently we have 16 staff deployed as it is to our credit and the staff's great credit that the e.o.c. staff, covid command center staff has remarked how great the staff has been. thousands of hours in time and something we have proud to have done. earlier in the response, a couple clips from the video talking about the work featuring key port staff. we have wendy proctor, and shannon at testing site, at pier 3032, and kim at 337. moving on, i want to talk about testing. the first city test s.f. april 6, 2020. testing front line and healthcare workers to now providing broad access for those in san francisco regardless of symptoms or exposure. and as many as 1,000 per day, 10 of thousands of tests have been administered at this site. testing, of course, invaluable to the city's overall strategy to slowing the spread of the virus. very early on we realized that the only way we would be able to get ahead of the virus, good surveillance data and testing is critical to that. we needed to k

the city has the funding to support this department. commissioners, enjoy working with you all, and i urge you to vote yes on this resolution. thank you. >> clerk: thank you for your comment. i will unmute our next caller now. >> hi, commissioners. good evening. my name is sylvia plat, and i am a local 21 member, and i am one of two climate change analysts at the department of environment serving the entire city of san francisco. i want to say that i cannot imagine working for a better department or living in a better city where we do have a strategic vision, and our impact can have such a positive impact on san francisco residents in an unmatched way. since coming on board in 2016, i've led the effort to develop the methane mass report, which is the basis for the city's unanimously approved legislation to enforce the city's natural gas ban in new construction. i engage and provide technical assistance and climate advice to other city agencies, and currently, i'm coordinating the development of the city's climate action plan, which is a

of education in the city. particularly those living in underserved communities. i have enthusiastically dedicated my career to addressing inequities and challenges that young children and families living in poverty face. for the past 16 years, i have worked in a variety of capacities in the city that further this mission including 13 years spent in direct service to san francisco's young children and families through my work with jump start a national literacy organization. in my current role, i direct early education grant making which reaches all corners of the early education field in the city including early education work force leadership development and early leadership in child development. funding key initiatives in innovative strategies. i feel that i would bring a unique perspective to the citizens' advisory committee strengthening the city's commitment to public private partnerships. i am an alumni of san francisco state university and mills college and a proud mother of two young daughters who were

they're all over the city there's no way to recognize them. some have pistols all over mogadishu's yes all over mogadishu. and the judge who says there are spies collecting important information to you others obtain money through bribery and corruption will go well and i mean even ministers and politicians have to pay as they were doing. so they are stronger than the government i would look at of course someone who's ready to die is stronger than anyone else. in 2015 mario a left and became an informer for the government. police patrols on the city limits are aimed at preventing round the clock attacks by al shabaab militants. mohammad j. go heads the elite team. his officers were trained by the us army. was on the how life was our objective 2 days to patrol the entry and exit points of the city there were also some checkpoints to inspect on the way. we're headed to the city's most dangerous places. the checkpoints on the edge of mogadishu. our driver is on alert during the entire journey. a video that we're shown as evidence of how often the p

the longer the city takes to try to find the perfect exclusion, the more the city is exacerbating thedigital divide, and the more adamant carriers will be to adding new poles in the right-of-way. the good news is that, for the most part, there are ample city poles in the right-of-way if we could renegotiate our m.l.a. to make it scaleable and cost effective at scale. there are a few isolated targeted areas that new roles will need to be deployed because of a lack of poles in the right-of-way or pg&e poles in the right-of-way, and we are working closely with city departments and the city attorney's office on article 25 to accommodate this infrastructure. techniques like microtrenching where feasible will help to make this happen. we've been very successful in using narrow band or microtrenching methods in other cities across california and across the country. we would like to request the use of this method here in san francisco as it reduces traffic and resident disruption during deployment. so in closing, we have some additional slides if there are questions about our 5-g home offerin

what can you tell us a place it's not the capital but is the biggest city of equitorial given relatively small country on the west coast of africa also relatively stable country with no major military incidents recently and also doesn't have a very big military presence so this is somewhat of a surprise we're hearing that these explode. up to 4 to 5 explosions took place on a military base where armaments were stored also where lots of military personnel and their families were living we also have been hearing that you know up to 300 wounded up the path to potentially 20 people dead many people who have an op loading these videos that we've been seeing a very shocked and surprised you can hear in their expressions one man asking what is that cloud is it of all k. you know of course nobody expects these kind of explosions anywhere to take place so people do seem quite shocked to what they're seeing and we're going to be hearing a lot more about this as as developments continue there but we do know 4 to 5 large explosions near a military base on a military base up to 300 pe

mayor of the city of arvin. an't deny the fact that living and being next to an oil and gas operations, that i emits emissions, and that those emissions can cause harm to health, and fossil fuel extraction and production and consumption is a big part of the pollution here in the valley and worldwide. agriculture is the base economy here in the city of arvin. now it's primarily a hispanic community. over 95%. it is a very young city. surprisingly, over 60% of the population is under the age of 30. anso, when you look at my age and you look at otheroung people on the city council, you realize that we're actually very representative of the ty as a whole. all right. see you guys later. essentially, what the oil and gas ordinance that we adopted is, it creates a setback, and what that means is no new oil development can occur within 300 feet of sensitive uses--homes, schools, parks, hospitals. my position was not to stick it to oil workers or because i'm against the oil industry. it's because i want to protect th heal

my way they're all over the city this is no way to recognize them. some have pistols all over mogadishu metal yes all over mogadishu. i mean there are spies collecting important information in the human others obtain money through bribery and corruption although well then i mean even ministers and politicians have to pay. so they're stronger than the government i would look at of course someone who's ready to die is stronger than anyone else. in 2015 mario a left and became an informer for the government. police patrols on the city limits are aimed at preventing around the clock attacks by al shabaab militants. mohammad django heads the elite team. his officers were trained by the us army. a lot on the allied pilots our objective 2 days to patrol the entry and exit points of the c.c. there are also some checkpoints to inspect on the way. we're headed to the city's most dangerous places. the checkpoints on the edge of mogadishu. our driver is on alert during the entire journey. of video that we're shown as evidence of how often the. police and army fal

wherein an agreement between the city and a third party vendor has the money flowing not to the city ut to a third party nonprofit. this would be odd in any circumstance but it's particularly odd given the fact that this is the same nonprofit that collected money from pg&e and recology to the tune of hundreds of thousands of dollars over half decade which was not reported on their books to the public works department that is now the subject of arrests and investigation. even that alone should give us pause. this whole thing is funky from top to bottom, 4.113. thank you. >> president walton: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: consistent with my public remarks on this so far. i wasn't going to speak. so it's not to prolong the discussion of this item given how much attention and given to it in my opinion, just the strangers time. supervisor preston's comments really resonated with me. i wanted to ask couple of questions to rec and park. i will say before i do that, i've been on a ferris wheel. it's really fun. by daughter loved it. at a time when my husband, daughter and i for the m

our partnership with the city is deep and very wide. i want to particularly note that we couldn't do this without the funding from the city. the mayor's office of housing and community development, which is providing substantial funding for the construction of the project. once the project is built, in order to continue to provide services in the building, we have a contract with the department of housing and supportive housing, which will make sure that over the long haul, folks get the services that they need to succeed with their lives, but it makes more than just a village to create the kind of housing that we're all about. it actually takes a nation, so part of the funding that we have in this project comes from the state of california from the housing and community development department of the state. there's also low-income housing tax credits that are part of the funding that make this project possible, which is a partnership for both the city and the federal government, and it takes all of those entities and the complexity of pu

she has served the city and county of san francisco since 2005. she currently serves as our assessor recorder and in that role she is responsible for managing a team of over 200 people. under her leadership, the aassessor's office has reversed a decades old backlog of assessment cases and generating $3.6 billion in property tax revenue annually to support public services in san francisco. had it not been for carmen's leader snip that role, we would have a budget that was deficient in the amount of $3.6 billion. that gives you an indication of how amazing and how valuable she is to san francisco. such achievements have earned her office the prestigious 2020 good government award, an honor recognizing excellence in public sector management and stewardship. she currently serves on the san francisco employees retirement system board where she oversees the investments and policies of a $26 billion public pension system in san francisco. assessor chu has really stepped up during covid to lead our economic recovery task force as one of the co-chairs. this

the meeting point to st nicholas church. city guide karen choiceless shows tourists the focal points of the events of autumn $989.00 she knows what she's talking about because she took part in the monday demonstrations. during the 1980 s. the monday prayers drew more and more people who no longer agreed with the social developments in this part of germany the communist east. in order to understand what happened back then the group heads for the form of contemporary history. it provides a comprehensive picture of the division and me unification of germany. the origins of the s.c.d. the ruling east german communist party. daily life and how the state owned enterprises operated. the fall of the berlin wall and $989.00 opened the way to freedom it also meant the loss of a home and earns an identity topics to foreign consciously focuses upon. his being as as. this is why it isn't called a museum but a forum. we wish to initiate discussion about this it's a great deficit that we don't talk to each other instead everyone has their own c

how often do the cities admit fault. nt because they didn't want it to >> they never admit fault because of liability ropes. but what they do is compensate the family and at professor described, it can never make up for the loss. but importantly, ben crump often requires police reform in his settlements. so when he seed the breonna taylor case, there was a lot of money that went to the family, but he also required that the police in louisville have training about how to do warrants, better oversight, and also a database for bad apple cops. so i would expect that in this case, especially considering the record of over chauvin who had at least 17 civilian complaints filed against him involved in at least two other officer-involved shootings, i would expect that in addition to the money that the family is getting, the city and the police department are going to be required to take steps to police their city more effectively. >> and paul, i'll come back to you on the jury selection. but back to keith here. so keith, you just

i hear the same fears and concerns across the city. the moratorium has been helpful, but it's also fair to say it just kicked the can down the road. the debt remains. this is the portion of the iceberg under the water which we cannot see. to the point earlier we don't know how many businesses have closed, we know even less about who the walking dead are. the commercial lease problem is this a musical chair between banks, real estate owners and small business. the music stopped and small business is the one left without a chair to sit in. i'll note that to date while i've personally been wiped out, none of my lenders or landlords have incurred any losses. to chair preston's point, i'll note the obstacle here is the taking clause of the 5th amendment, so i doubt that the state and the feds have the ability to control the rent and lease amounts. and i expect we'll need to be creative in coming up with solutions. some of you may be aware that state senator scott wiener tried to address the issue in april of 2020 with ab939 aiming to let bus

>>looking back on how we've handled the pandemic in the city. e you learned is there anything that you would have changed jordan different role. >>well i i learned that it's important to trust your and as hard as it was to make the decision a year ago to go into a state of emergency at the end of february and then completely shut the city down even though i had so many people who are like we can't do this this is going you know impact economy our city is going to be in trouble and i knew that those were tradeoffs but at the end of the day lives are at stake. and so what i learned is important to trust the data trust the science interest or got throughout the year mayor breed along with state leaders like governor gavin newsome faced criticism for strict approaches to the pandemic many people comparing the state of florida which is taken very opposite approaches. >>yet maintained comparable per capita covid-19 rates to francisco is like the second to city in the country after new york. >>and so if we had dowhat they've done in places like miami. w

so we shut the city down. schools were shut down. r of things had to occur, and none of us thought we would be adjusting our lives for the past year because of this pandemic. but i must say that what i appreciate about the department of public health is that they have been leaders, they have made hard decisions. i've had to support many of those hard decisions. they've made decisions based on science and based on data, and they have been probably one of of the most conservative around our policies to reopen our city, probably more than any other public health department in the country. so i don't take lightly the ability to begin a process of reopening with the schools. the fact is, our department of public health has put our public schools first. so when requested, because an application has to be submitted, we made analyzing the public schools our priority. in fact, in san francisco, we know that there are about 113 private and parochial schools that are currently open. our same department of public health had to go in and analyze t

but the heavy blue lines, how real traffic moves through the city, continues to be important. without the upper grade highway in the network, that closure, we have to acknowledge, initially did cause friction for drivers who used to take the route from the far west side all the way down the great highway to skyline boulevard. however, as traffic -- we're tracking traffic data very closely throughout the pandemic, and what we found is because the west side is a grid, and because sunset boulevard has never carried as much traffic as it is designed to be able to carry, the system is actually quite resilient. a large amount shifted to sunset boulevard -- go to the next slide, please, julie. the date that that the transportation authority has been tracking very closely, traffic is flowing better on sunset boulevard -- or rather flowing the same or better on sunset boulevard -- actually, it is better at the south end of the corridor, than it did pre-covid. so we're not seeing sunset boulevard becoming gridlocked at all hours of the day, nor are we seeing 19th becoming gridlocked. so
