i'm going to speak on another item, but underserved areas are going to remain underserved unless all the stakeholders are brought to the table. i think this thing should stay in the committee myself because certain neighborhoods have been clearly neglected. get right, get people to come to the table, and then present it in the form of a pilot program. thank you very much. supervisor mar: thank you. is there anyone else from the public would like to speak? public, disclosed. supervisor wiener: i think it's an important point that there are two things here -- this is just creating the violation so mta can enforce the spots where they are. the mta has it within its discretion to pick the spot that i think the supervisor cohen is right and one of them should be in the southeast part of the city. if we put this forward and goes to the committee report tomorrow, the second reading would be after the next meeting of the mta board. i suspect that by 2:00 tomorrow, we'll have some sort of response from the mta in terms of a committed to at a spot in the southeast and we will know if the board

those communities that have underserved health-care facilities, to be able to get the internet so they can be connected to the hospital so that all of this, as well as small businesses. in my rural district, there is of great manufacturer who has been able to quadruple his business once he was able to get on the internet, so instead of selling his fish bait just in the counties around his southwest georgia location, he is now selling across the world to all of the bait shops where they have the fishing as a vocation. >> speaking of internet, i neglected to give a shout out to those of you watching this. this is being streams, so we want to give a shout out to those watching via the internet. this is going to be our final question. martin would like to know what can be done by congress about companies that intentionally drive down wages, including nine by not buying american made products, -- including by not buying american-made products. outsourcing is a big problem. of what can be done if anything? >> we can remove the tax incentives they are currently using. if they are not going to

>> i think there is no question that this is an underserved area and it is a unique opportunity to add an asset to the department and i want to commend the neighbors and the community for their hot tenacity over the years, and i think you can be very proud of what you're doing and how you're doing it. with that, i will entertain a motion. all those in favor? it is unanimous. [applause] >> of like to thank a couple of people that were working on this before my time. for years, they have been shepherding this to the place where i was able to get and work on and harder. and the landscape architects for making this happen. >> we are on item 12. is there anyone that like to make general public comment who did not comment under item 4. general public comment is closed. commissioner's matters? commissioner lee: last month, asked about giving a presentation on the recreation and advisory policy. the recreation advisory committee. the recreation the advisory committee counsel. to see if we can get that on the calendar for next month or october. >> is there any public comment on commissioners' m

they've come to work together to enliven the effort to create a place where the underserved youth can learn about camera works. this is been on my mind for a long time. do you know the old original joe's place? they have brought in a theater piano fight. that is a wonderful addition. it will be starting this fall. the dugan family will locate in north beach. i have been a patron of the original joe's for many years. i want to specifically thank the piano and fight -- piano fight theater. thank you for starting the wonderful theater. i know you will be asking for a grant. you have been a wonderful partner in looking out for the start-ups and helping them along, helping to identify where they can be and how they can get started. we both started the arts foundation at the corner of sixth and market. there are so many people to thank tonight. i wanted to begin with this list, the freshest efforts to start up. it is a signal to you that we want to thank you all for reinvigorating this central market with your arts activity, innovation, enthusiasm. there is not going to be a store front ava

a lot of places are underserved. hopefully this will serve the community well and give the folks in the area the ability to buy healthy foods. with that, i will turn it over to the mayor. >> thank you very much. i'm here because i support a lot of the things, especially in the supervisor's district. we're interested in being healthy. we approach it in a different way. i approach it by trying to eat healthy foods. you can ask him what he is running for. anyway, the management, i would like to thank you for creating the very first oasis right here because it is important. bayview for many years has been very hard to get choices. the choice of good and fresh foods in your community. so, this surprised me. so the people associate with walgreen's said that we will open up the very first and increase in expand our operation in the city. food choices and healthy choices are needed. we need this year and we need it back over the city. we have already 16 stores and our city is employing some 1500 people. having seen them in p

the ones that are most underserved, where the resources are otherwise not in. frankly it is also an opportunity to connect to the big infrastructure investments that do not get a big rap -- good wrap all the time. you have a community where everyone lives on the trunk line. at the end of the castro shuttle or the parallel line, being in good shape, people farther out have a hard time accessing that service. these are projects that i intend to connect the dots in that way. to provide flexibility in the areas of bayview or hunters point. the more difficult or challenging areas and so on. comparatively speaking, this is not billions of dollars. this is taking the resources in the community and organizing them better. this could very well be worth of the research work that would have been through these consultant contracts in collaboration with that the agencies so that we can do more with the services that we have. >> it sounds like -- supervisor mar: it sounds like from public comment that these contracts are very important for the bayview hunters point mobility

city of richmond provides training for clean and renewable industries and it serves to serve the underserve. many come from low-income households. 30% has a history with the justice system. some like rosa have been displaced professionally and need a job and training. >> you go in not knowing what a 2-by-2 looks like, 4-by-4. the knowledge, the discipline and the skills you get from richmond is great. >> since taking office, california lieutenant governor gavin newsom made the bush for economic development plan to stimulate innovation and green jobs. they have one of the highest unemployment rate in the state. they're aiming to reduce the numbers. >> it's not just a training program. there are jobs. we are averaging 80% placement at an average wage of $18. so they are good quality jobs. >> the students participate in hands on activities. in addition, they have the opportunity to work on real installation. >> i got to experience live install. we got to do an install on two homes for clients here. it was a good experience. >> it's working. >> really good. i've been offered a few jobs. >> it i

that part of the city is greatly underserved. the waterfront recreation, and that particular project was a major -- this particular e.i.r. and the plans for the america's cup seem to be kind of looking at that particular project site a little differently. the next point, and you have to really look is the treasure island plan. the treasure island sailing center is the only public water access non-profit organization on treasure island serving families. the deir identifies the parking lot, a very small area, as a helipad location. helicopters and water sport in that location do not mix very well. i have to soon that is a contradiction in the way we looked at that e.i.r. it goes on to say adaptively reused for the america's cup. i hope there will be significant push back to properly sort that out. there is a series of implementation plans i would have liked to have in order to look at the e.i.r. and look at the impact plan. i have never seen the plan. i am not familiar of any draft of the park event operations plan. only in draft f

we want the digital inclusion program to make sure we address the needs of underserved vulnerable communities, not communities that are already very tech savvy. we are here to provide a, b and c to the seniors. a stands for access. b stands for basic skills and c stands for content. and unless we have all three, the monolingual chinese seniors are never going to be able to use the computer or the internet. >> a lot of the barrier is knowledge. people don't know that these computers are available to them, plus they don't know what is useful. >> there are so many businesses in the bay area that are constantly retiring their computer equipment that's perfectly good for home use. computers and internet access are helping everybody in the community and people who don't have it can come to us to help with that. one of the biggest problems we see isn't whether people can get computers through programs like ours, but whether they can understand why they need a computer. really the biggest issue we are facing today is helping people understand the value of having a computer. >> immediately they would

able to provide increased voice and data -- [bell ringing] >> which are desperately needed in the underserved area to the r residents, shopper, and visitors. third, it will involve the resolution of the lawsuit and prevent the loss of time, expense, and delay that uncertainty that are necessarily the part of litigation. supervisor kim: thank you. i believe there is a question for you. >> not a question, just a comment. if you could pass on to your employer, your community relations is abysmal. you are ruining the entire industry. you are not just hurting t-mobile. you are hurting all your pierce and the manner in which t-mobile deals with the community is shockingly poor. and i would strongly, strongly suggest you find numerous ways to improve it. we will deal with the legal issues in closed session, but this is separate and apart from those legal issues, but i would strongly suggest moving forward t-mobile find ways to vastly improve the way they deal with their customers because you are not just hurting yourselves, you are hurting everyone. >> i appreciate your comments and will definitely

for the public, the advantage is the period of peak demand is when the public is underserved. i buy-sell approach can be developed. such a program could to buy additional ownership opportunities to working drivers and generate revenues but without the downside of having cabs during the slow periods. single use permits deserves testing but also the purchase of leasing permits. the city should not released -- inject itself into relationships between cabs and medallion holders as a leasing agent. they should be appreciative of the possibility of generating revenues through limited and carefully monitored sales and reluctant to become brokers. thank you. >> thank you. >> ed healy. >> i am a cab driver and member of the sfcda. it is interesting these owners came in and are worried about these legal niceties. what day want is to put 500 cabs on the street without a hearing as some of you know. it is kind of a joke that they're calling for a hearing to have this compromise program. also, i do not know what happened to gillespie. at this town hall meetings, this was adequately discuss
