with the organization that has done this work nationwide and knows the right work to do. we have partnered with the learning accelerator and we are one of the three in the nation working to have a blended digital learning in a content approach in the way that we have never educated children before, and we get to partner with the other districts across the nation so that we are sharing best practice. so i am hopeful and i'm optimistic and i know it is really, really hard work, and so now is the time that we have done this work to change education in the united states of america. >> if i could follow up, i forget the specific title, but you also with the intentionality hired someone with cultural, and could you talk more about what this is. >> yes, when i first got to the district, i said, who is in charge of the equity work and the cultural proficiency work, and who taps my on the shoulder and says, did you translate? did you remember? and they said, it is all of our work. well, it is all of our work and we have to have a chief warrior of the work. and so we posted a positi

and i have an existing contract with him where he filed the permit for that work in the garage.so how long do you need to finish this work? >> give me until the end of the year. >> i'm not sure that we'll do that, but i'll ask the same thing of our staff. >> yeah, yeah, because my -- oh, yeah. the permit that i renewed gave me to december i think. >> okay, thank you. >> for the building permit. thank you, your honor. >> public comment? there's no public comment. staff have rebuttal? >> we just wanted to make sure that we are just concerned about the safety of the tenants, the property owner and the neighbors. violations include electrical, building and plumbing. and we have permits and i'm sorry that i'm going to correct the first building permit was taken out in 2005 and it was renewed in 2011. and then again in 2014, 2015, and it's been going like that. >> what do you estimate that the timeframe for satisfying the notices of violation? is the -- is the permit to remove and to fix the illegal occupancy or to apply for a housing unit? >> no, i think that there's no illegal unit.

the best agency to work with the streets and to bring up to current pavement standards and transportis back to public works. with that, i will introduce carol and we will be available for questions. >> we should staffed and supported the land use working group and the sub committee chair. with great debt of gratitude for the hard work that they put in as well as the contribution from the technical advisory team. and the resilient subcommittee had a different task than the other two because instead of updating an existing waterfront landing plan section, we were charged with creating new policy recommendations for two subject areas. and 1997 and the waterfront land use plan had touched on only lightly and environmental sustainability and resilience. >> and the environmental reports and began with a briefing on what the port and city are already doing to protecting and enhance the environment. and subsequent discussions and produced 20 policy recommendations and four broad topic areas. and climate change, water quality and conservation. natural resources and green building leasing and

state land was in this conversation with the working group. they understand -- looking over the last 20 years, the exploring shown here, in particular that some of these uses that they might -- in a different waterfront context, not considered to be trust consistent. a museum. is actually, in our historic district, one of the thing that makes our historic district so successful. so we were really happy with resources and institutions are public gathering places that can really help to make our historic disstrict come alive. we've got an enormous wonderful historic disstrict on the water side that people love and they are very behold end to trying to maintain -- for as long as possible. on the city side, along the embarkadero we have a few sea lots left over they are basically in-fill sites and there was a lot of discussion about what kind of uses should be allowed. what is the character of those -- the improvement of those sites. and by in large the waterfront plan policy is now saying, they should be i will proved consistent with the complex a

, that these are projects the port is working on now. in that addendum. and additional fund and projects underway are sometimes fun for projects where this is simply the next phase of works. so that includes money for the general fund request for the ferry landing and the seawell as they move into phases and also the case where the scope has been expanded or additional fund are needed to complete projects and the new number is $65 million. the program in the outyears of the capital improvement program. they are highlighted in the addendum and we will be bringing you more detail when we come back with a full cip. and finally there's the piece that we couldn't get to with our existing fund. $93 million of projects proposed by staff for consideration in this 5-year period that we were written able to fun with the existing resource wes have. it would be a priority should more become available or thing for which we would seek outside of fund if opportunities arise. and those projects are listed by name in the back of the attachment as well. e

with the organization that has done this work nationwide and knows the right work to do. we have partter inned with the learningccelerator and we are one of the three in the nation working to have a blended digital learning in a content approach in the way that we have never educated children before, and we get to partner with the other districts across the nation so that we are sharing best practice. so i am hopeful and i'm optimistic and i know it is really, really hard work, and so now is the time that we have done this work to change education in the united states of america. >> if i could follow up, i forget the specific title, but you also with the intentionality hired someone with cultural, and could you talk more about what this is. >> yes, when i first got to the district, i said, who is in charge of the equity work and the cultural proficiency work, and who translated and did you remember? and they said, it is all of our work. well, it is all of our work and we have to have a chief warrior of the work. and so we posted a position of one position of the director o

that in politics very much in one of the charms now the works are being taken from the vaults and taken abroad and shown in berlin in addition to berlin they could be exhibited in many other places these works are very pure and untouched they show a new perspective they show how people in iran thought thirty years ago and which works of art they collected to influence the next generation's culture i get asked i am the sas if it was uttered. with thirty iranian and thirty western works the berlin exhibition was also to be an opportunity to reveal be observers established patterns of perception that that's what turn of only was hoping for. one could say to her child in america i'm very happy about it but i think it's a good step. you know it would be a pity to keep these works in prison without anyone being aware of their existence you know matters and it was a song hoist a dinner in a museum vault for years and never got out it's a good thing that not only the iranian people can see them but the whole world. this opens the door to cultural exchange when we acquired these works everyone t

what has donald trump done for the working man? i think the first year in office he was pretty much an orthodox republican, and i think that was a real problem. i think it is a not quite a river boat gamble, but it's not clear to me that the cuts in the corporate tax rate will flow without more government intervention down to the working person. because there are a lot of trends in the economy that is devaluing what that person brings to the table. i think this year he's trying to right that more by focussing more on immigration and tariffs and the theory being that if you face less competition from foreign cheaper workers then that provides more of an incentive for businesses to invest in the american and puts a higher pressure upwards on wages. it will be interesting to see whether or not he continues with that under fierce republican party pressure. >> michael, walnut creek, california. democrat. >> caller: yes, good morning. first of all, let me say i am a labor democrat. and i don't trust my own party. when they elected tom per

there is a quick summary of the nature of the work. as we discussed in october, over time water can infiltrate concrete and causes the rebar to expand and flake off. the cycle repeats and can cause further damage. this is loading limitations. by removing the unsound concrete and cleaning the rebar or splicing with new rebar when necessary and applying new concrete, we can repair the assets to remove the restrictions. this is under pier pictures of what you'd see if you're down there. the lines are the exposed rebar which were covered with concrete in the past. you can also see that the access is difficult due to the rising tides. this is specialtily over water work. it has the following considerations, safety, coordination, environmental issues. so tight spaces, the water changes, it's dark. there is -- there will need to be ship rotations to accommodate the timeframe we want the work done and environmental issues to prevent debris from falling in the water. these are pictures of similar conditions and methods. you can see there are cur

the mission. i've seen a lot of change. i used to work with the executive director and to be honest the change on valencia street was incredible. the way it impacted our clients and movement and the way it impacted the culture already there. the soul of that corridor is decimated. now when we look at valencia further down that's what's happening there. you can no longer drive in the areas because of the impact of what the businesses are doing. i understand the manhattanization sounds sexy but what is sexy is preserving culture and what brings people to the understood. it has culture and music and festivals. this will start going away. once we start changing the fabric of what it is it no longer belongs the same class. and i want to address this whole thing about bullying. to me it sounds like we're being called gang members and stuff and i find that derogatory. i think when we talk about issues like this gentrification and appropriation of culture we have to be sensitive how we label the people advocating and lobbying and fighting for the

the next is our san francisco health net work data. it incorporates encounters across different visits and patient demographics across our hospitals, primary care of mental health, substance abuse and jail health. there's been a lot of effort this year across the network to create a standard data methodology to ensure more accurate, clean data moving forward and the aalignment with sfgph's annual report as well. the next report is the public health data. it focuses on the six areas of the strategic plan with key programmatic activities and impact metrics within each. we've also included an additional metric on black african american health based on the feedbacks from the commissioners in planning. that was based on hypertension control. and lastly, we include the 13 health resolutions to showcase the major policy actions of the commission, as well. the last section of the report, you'll notice, includes our service sites and our contractors. the maps that we've included for service sites have been updated, and they follow our new brandi

around the clock. since work scaffolding has gone in to rebuild the station's chimneys and painstakingly restore its 7.5 million bricks. when you think about it, the construction industry is ripe for automation. it is dirty, it is dangerous, it is physical, a lot of it is quite repetitive. but on the other side, can you imagine a robot navigating its way around the site like this? if it didn't fall over in the first 30 seconds, it would not be able to pick any of these things up unless they were perfectly positioned in the first place. it is a robot nightmare. but one american company is trying to do just that. meet sam, or semi—automatic mason 100. he can lay 3000 bricks per day. with no need for breaks and the ability to work through the night, could this be the future of construction? with only a few machines in existence and costing $100,000 each, probably not any time soon. it is no surprise that some of the more interesting work to automate the construction industry is happening in san francisco, where dave

the director rafael. it is meaning full to work to the department. i am looking forward to work together in the city wide effort. good evening i am the acting benefits manager. i am in support of resolution. i thank the commissioners for sponsoring the resolution as well as debbie and her staff's leadership on this work. i want to provide brief background for myself. i not only grew up in san francisco but you grew up in the justice movement in hunter's point and joined to local government with the goal of having a bigger impact in the world, and as i got into the agency, i realized there are many, many barriers to making the external impact i wanted to see. i was lucky to join the team implementing the agency benefits policy passed in 2009 and community benefits policy passed in 2011. when i first got out of college and moved back to the city having been in the community when those policies were organized when the community was organizing around the policies to help pass the policies at the agency level now ending up at agency in which my job is a di

and i am so proud of the work that we did together, working with the community, working with the department, working with a lot of the folks who are here today, like sean richard from brothers against guns, and the healing circle with mattie scott. it was an incredible effort and i'm proud of the work we did in the western edition community. our residents and our police officers all want the same thing. they want our city, our families and our communities to be safe. this is our charge as leaders. president obama's task force on 21st century policing recommended that the police departments request investigations of use of force incidents in order to increase transparency and accountability to the communities they serve and we have done that here in san francisco. we continue to follow those recommendations. two years ago i, along with supervisor cohen had a resolution for the department of justice to conduct a thorough independent review of our police department. for me, it was important that we put san francisco on record requesting this review through a formal action of the board of super

the next wave of work was, we need more money. and, we have never passed an operating override in our district. and we palgsed an operating override this past fall. we failed the previous year at 49%. but that's been by just telling our story. so we got our story really tight. and then, and, she, creates beautiful graphic for me. to, to go out and, and, then we, we share our story. and we talk about what we are doing why it is important to the children in our community. we also have a big focus on work force development. and career pathways. and that really resonates in our community. employers want to know, getting people ready for the work force. we are able to brag about community partners. and those community partners like that. so, now, we are on the same circuit. telling the story how we are spending the dollars they gave us in the new override. i would add to that. trying to dhu that same thing at state level too. so we, we, our communications department, and dana is here today is, you know we are doing promising practices v

the hard—working chinese entered into a new era. the hard—working chinese people are more confident, self—respect and self believing. the ancient, great, eastern chinese nation has a bright future. our theory, our system, eastern chinese nation has a bright future. ourtheory, oursystem, our culture, is full of life. we are confident about our future. history has and will continue to prove that only socialism can save china. only the socialist system with chinese characters will help us to rejuvenate our nation. the world is changing. the development of our country is at a critical stage. we have a good environment and conditions for development but we also face challenges and difficulties. the 19th cpc congress have described a blueprint of building a well—to—do society and the rejuvenation of the chinese nation, to turn the blueprint into is the new battle. there is a long way to go. time waits for no one. we cannot be complacent and laid—back. we have been listening to the closing speech at president xi jinping at the rubberstamp

at the city i worked as a contractor in the national 9-1-1 project which was when the department of emergency management was first create. after a few years i realized it was something i wanted to make a dashboard that let us know at any time how many ambulances we have and how many are private and how much additional resources we need to provide. working with the fire department i get to interact with other departments and that's something i in -- enjoy. with 9-1-1 and we can look at saving lives and protecting property from fire and natural disasters. i'm not there. but it gives me satisfaction to know that i can help them by providing information in a timely manner. >> it's a huge asset for our department and for the city as a whole. he oversees our i.t. infrastructure and it's our scheduling system and reports and he's the unsung hero. without a uniform he's my hero in that he does so much for everyone in the san francisco fire department going from a carbon paper department to all the technology that we

the estimate. so our theory worked. it was just the rest of the project that didn't come in successfully. >> thank you. >> commissioner adams. >> nope, i'm good. >> i, too, had several questions regarding this contract because i just couldn't imagine how it went from $700,000 to $4 point some odd million, so i had several questions. i think i am okay with the responses, but i also know that the response is different. and to keep giving contracts to the same contractor and the issue that we have sometimes. and so i think i've made it very clear that this is the last time i want to see an amendment to this particular contract. and maybe it's time for us to have an update on what's going on with crane cove park and our growing cost. where we are, what we think it's going to -- you know, and now that we've put out a proposal and came in way over. are we working with park and rec on this? do we have -- this may be one of those things where we can get other city departments to help us with it because we have never done anythin

the tndc does more than just provide housing and services. they work actively and attentively to build community. they are active with neighbors and community groups and have been a partner with the city to serve low-income residents. most recently, they worked with the department of the environment to implement energy efficiency upgrades and install led light bulbs as we will hear more about in the meeting. they serve as a model for community engagement and development. thank you for all you do to serve the residents of san francisco and for your efforts to incorporate sustainability into your developments. this evening, with us, is sustainability manager with the tndc. colleagues? thank you, commissioners and the department for recognizing our efforts. as you all know, i'm sustainability manager at tndc, i'm thrilled you're recognizing our efforts and our mission is to keep housing affordable. as you know, affordability doesn't happen by itself. sustainability is a key business strategy for us. we're doing this not only because we have good hearts, b

alongside the powerful women before working in city hall. it's a worker run collective whose mission is connect immigrant women to employment opportunities and develop their leadership skills to engage in social change. [speaking spanish] >> the women i'm honoring today have led and won many campaigns to improve working conditions for domestic workers and also organized to expand immigrant rights. [speaking spanish] >> thank you for your commitment to empower immigrant latinos through these campaigns. [speaking spanish] [applause] >> [speaking spanish] >> i want to thank the board of supervisors and supervisor ronen for all the work you do to support us and i want to thank you for honoring these women, i call them our heroes, because they really do the important work in the community, even after they work very hard cleaning homes, taking care of children, taking care of the elderly and they still, after all of that hard labor during the day, they come and organize, they have the strength, the time and the commitment to do the work that is nec

to talk about the work that we are doing. i have no doubt the organization has the best for children at heart. we are all working towards the same goal and no one i believe is more committed than this nation than doing the work that needs to be done on the half up the children of this great nation. i want to take a moment to talk about the progress as well as recognize some of the challenges that still remain but i think it's time that we do this and i want to do this commitment by commitment. looking at the equity and how we are advancing that. the plan is important but it's the work behind a plan that's going to be the more important because that is to focus on children. let's take a minute. the first amendment was equity. and equity vision and a measurable target. .. the demographic information of students, the breakdown of suspension rates and achievement scores into the groups and more. these are one way the district is working to increase transparency around how schools are serving traditionally underserved children. in

the bubble. there are hearts and minds around this work with a great understanding of the great work that you are doing to ensure that our nation's children are going to be prepared to take on the world. so thank you. [applause] special timevery for us today because we are our distinguished service award. i want to tell you a little bit about its history. distinguished service is the council's highest honor. the award recognizes individuals whose contributions have given strength to pre-k and k-12 education in the united states. historically, the award is presented annually. the council presents this award to an individual or individuals outside current membership whose contribution to strengthen education merits such recognition. with this award, we recognize extensive long-term service and commitment to improving public education. this has been presented over a. of 58 years -- over a span of 58 years. it is made annually. previous winners include george , edward kennedy, bill and presidenttes, and lyndon johnson. i can think of no better person to receive the distinguished service award this ye

, doing the work and moving people back in. that is one of our challenges on the project. then just one of the strategies of the team has been looking at is doing a mockup of the area i circled in red. that is the current proposed location that we want to hire a contract or to help us further assess out the potential impacts and sound issues and become better mitigation measures to think this through before we jump into the larger project to avoid identifying issues during construction. moving to the southeast health center, the team has been focus on design for the project. design is currently scheduled to finish first part of 2019. civic design review went well. january we are planning to go back to civic design review for phase two review with them. it is the second quarter of 2018. it is coming up fairly soon. the next slide i want to share some of the recent rendering presented to design review. as terry mentioned, it was well received by the community as well as by the civic design commissioners. as a matter of fact, i hav

it is the toughest work. here we get the greatest return on our investment, which is what a lot of folks said and about the most special part that we make this investment. it is unusual for a school district to do, and i know as a board and district you have our full support and appreciation. somebody said earlier, which made me reflect a bit. not only is this such a critical time to get young people off on the right foot a as far as preparation. it is the first introduction they have. how you interact and partner with families. thank you all for that, and we should be doing this on a regular basis and we just appreciate you as a board. thank you. (applause) >> vice president cook. >> i want too echo my colleague's sentiment. i am a native. i can pull the native card about my experiences going to school here. i was at the early education site in the housing developments and it moved up the street to star king after a bus ran into it, an up fortunate accident. i was at the school visiting two weeks ago. it look

members of the art world naturally approached them to suggest works to buy. iran was very wealthy at the time and the international art market was out a low point that some of the works proposed were selected and bought a vision and. that. eventually the collection grew to include well over three thousand works by both iranian and international artists painting such as mural on in the in red ground by jackson pollock found their way there. along with works by brock. roy lichtenstein rauschenberg. and many others. financed by petrol dollars from the sale of oil its total cost is still a mystery but the criticism that iran spent too much money on art continues to annoy come run dba to this day how do you do you mind chatter that and how much transactions were completely above board. and the reason. if you john someone recently claimed that they had all the purchase receipts at the moment and . someone else said the museum had lost the money you know but i still have them is that i can get them from the library. the other. atheist. here is the list of everything

because of the work we do, it's vital to our families, especially the latino families who are working with them, who are being used as a scapegoat by our federal government. at this time, we're finding a lot of the families needing support and this places of center and safety. and our frc provides that center of safety for them and continue to ensure we're going work with them and have them a secured place where they can be and be successful and grow, they can provide groups for their children, where they can come into their own support groups, take parent education and curriculum. so the work that we've done and the staff has done with the families, is amazing. and due to the frc initiative, we continue to see this at all our frcs. talking to my colleagues and through the granting meetings, these conversations come up about how families are feeling safe and secure. it's vital right now. i want to end with a quick little story of a family that we worked with who they came to the door, didn't know anything, didn't know where to stay. through the work of the case managers they were able

we can pay all the processers without doing work and the distributors without doing work. farmers in that drought situation, they're probably going to be limited to one and a half to two feet per acre. you can't grow a lot of crops with that. if there's a voluntary program, and they could chose to sell their water at a very high price and make the same amount of money if they were growing crops you would get there. they say they don't want to sell water and they're posturing, everyone has a price, and with the ini remember ties there are other irrigation districts. i think we're in good shape. thank you. >> thank you. >> is this any other general public comments? >> item 5, communications. anything on communication? any public comments? forgive me. so, we have dave warner again. for item number 5. 5 did. 5d. thank you for letting me speak regarding the environmental steward ship report. this seems like a marketing document as opposed to a useful tool to help commissioner assess the impact of its environmental activities. as you know, it's environmental damage but there's n

they're working tirelessly on behalf of the communities. we appreciate everything they do. help complement our work we're approving more funding for legal services at the state level. i want to commend the supervisor, supervisor fewer and ronen who worked so hard with my office on funding for immigration community here in san francisco that does the hard work every single day, day in and day out for the immigrant community. i'm proud that as a city and as a mayor's office we're partnering with the member phil ting on a plan that will pay for universal representation of every immigrant facing deportation in northern california. we're making our message loud and clear to the federal government. they can bring out the lawsuits, they can threaten our cities, and they can speak of border walls, but san francisco and california will stay strong. we will support our immigrant communities and we will do so from a place of poise, not panic. we are a sanctuary city. passion and hope. two concepts that are alien to there president and his administration. >> president breed: thank you

many of the officers that worked with us were amazing. we would invite them to events. many of our young people wouldn't have those conversations for the first couple of years, but after a while, there were the conversations, there were the hellos. there were the development of a relationship that existed where the police knew members of our community, our community knew members of the police, and things began to change. and i think that it is important that as a city, we set what those procedures and guidelines and everything are and put them in place. but ultimately, we want to make sure that we have good people that are serving and protecting the public, and that we hold those officers that unfortunately are the ones that make it challenging or difficult for other officers, that we hold them accountable when the type of things occur that devastation in the community occurs. and that is the thing that i am committed to, and supervisor cohen and i have worked tirelessly on. it is something we have to continue to work on and make sure that there is accountability and it

around the clock. since workegan five years ago, over 30 kilometres of scaffolding has gone in to rebuild the station's chimneys and painstakingly restore its 7.5 million bricks. it is no surprise that some of the more interesting work to automate the construction industry is happening in san francisco, where dave lee have been to find out more. look, don't tell anyone, but i have been trying to earn a few extra dollars — which is why some days you can find me here, in this construction site. there is a ton of work to be done, but you know what? i don't care, because it is the end of my shift. i am really not cut out for the construction industry, but that's ok, because thanks to companies like built robotics, maybe i don't have to be. their autonomous system allows this hulking great thing to get to work without a human driver. it can be left alone to get on with the task at hand, which in this case is flattening out the land. it is fully autonomous. what that means is basically, you load in plans for what you w

to really talk about the work that we are doing. i have no doubt that this organization has the best interest of children at heart. we do every time we meet regardless of what convening that happens to be. we are all working toward the same goal and no one, i believe, is more committed than the chiefs of this nation in doing the work that needs to be done on behalf of the concern of which great nation. so i want to take a moment to set the record straight. i want to talk about the progress that we're doing as well as recognize the challenges that remain, but i think it's time we do this and i want to do this commitment by commitment. to look at our commitment to equity and how we're advancing that, esa and the plans we submitted are important, but it's the work behind the plans that will be more important because that's the focus children so let's take a minute. so the first commitment was to prioritize equity, to set and communicate an equity vision and measurable targets. that means that state chiefs had to obviously step back, ana
