the san franciscans who benefit from this amazing institution. for almost 80 years the college has been an institution that in many respects represents, embodies what san francisco is about. for the past 78 years, city college of san francisco has been crucial to the economic and social development of san francisco and has been widely acknowledged not only to be a san francisco institution, but to be one of the best community colleges not just in the state, but in the country. city college, in my view -- and i say this as someone who is an immigrant who came to this country in search of the american dream -- city college is making it possible for the american dream to remain alive for thousands and thousands of san franciscans. and it is for that reason that we are here today. today's special meeting of the neighborhood services and safety committee is devoted to the very important issue of bringing our community voice back to city college. we will vote on a resolution that i introduced, and that has been co-sponsored by a number of my colleagues, and i want to thank my colleagues beginning with supervisor yee who is on this committee, supervisor mar who will be joining us shortly, as well as superv

needed. ~ as a the council's report makes it clear that the healthy san francisco program and the employer health care spending requirements put the city in a unique position to lead the nation in helping the aca achieve its fullest potential. san francisco is in the best position of any other city to make sure that a many people have access to health care as possible. to maximize that access, however, there are several thing that need to happen. i look forward between now and the time we introduce this ordinance and in the next coming weeks as we move forward with a discussion and review of the ordinance to have and engage in a discussion with all of you about the best way to maximize access. i do want to point out a couple of points that i think you should know are fundamental to what the ordinance will try to do. first, we must now and finally close the loophole that has allowed a minority of san francisco businesses to use stand alone healthy american investment accounts to avoid the majority of the spending requirement in the law. while the aca out lawed stand alone hras, employers have created a new mechanism. it's called an acce

and it also states that once this ordinance passes, it will be the city policy, the policy of san francisco that any city department that undertakeses the capital improvement in a park, plaza, playground, or other public space shall install bottle filling stations, drinking fountains and or potable water hookups for public use. so, again, we're really trying to build this in. there is a lot more work that needs to be done and the sfpuc by the end of -- middle part of this year will give us an inventory what we need to do. >> that's great, okay. thank you very much. supervisor kim? >> thank you. i'm not actually sure who this question is best directed to. i'm very supportive of this legislation. i'm really glad to see that we are moving forward for all the reasons that were already stated in the findings in the presentation. but i have a couple questions. one, i was curious if we have a map of where most of our special events take place just to get a sense of the access to potable water [speaker not understood]. so, just to get a sense of the realistic nature of achieving access to potable w
