city. your ideas, your engagement with us, you're aligning where we want to go to make the city a greater citys really the essence of managing a city. and i've learned that in many, many years of being a public serve ant, being an advocate to make sure the city represented its own diversity, of using that diversity as our strength, and going forward each of you are being asked to serve on extremely important commissions and bodies that i fully, fully respect. from fire, to transportation, to people handling billions of dollars in retirement, to our arts, to our health, to just getting permits out so that we can help people be success in this city. all of you are part of that. i just happened to address several hundred people this morning at a breakfast to talk about the health of our city. and part of that discussion was not just the health care programs that the country is heading into. it's also health means are we doing everything right for people? are we building strong communities? are we building neighborhoods? are we giving people the foundation in which they can invest to create a fami

there are many people who use city college to prepare for four-year institutions and allow youth of color, especially [speaker not understood] is an institution where they can actually go on to four-year institutions and city college plays a vital role for that. we have a great deal of vocational training that goes on that -- >> excuse me. ladies and gentlemen, as you come into the committee room, we're trying to handle business here. if you could please come in quietly. and if you do not have a seat, i will have to ask you to go back to the overflow room. supervisor avalos, please continue. >> thank you very much. there is a great deal of vocational training [speaker not understood] that city college is involved in. we have a very high immigrant population in san francisco and many people in the immigrant community are learning english as a second language so they can actually have a better fit to work in our local economy and city college provides support for them as well. we have campuses all over san francisco touching many, many neighborhoods, touching all of our communities in this

we started about three years ago developing sensors that we could place around cities that would give us some analytics on how people move around cities and how vehicles drive around cities. so, currently we have 16 neighborhoods -- 18 neighborhoods covered in san francisco, and we get real-time data back that shows exactly how many people go by some of the busiest areas in san francisco. so, you can see here san francisco, on average total, i think we had 150 people cross our sensors on average for every sensor. in case you want to go into time density. so, we end up getting these really, really great visualizations of the busiest times and the least busiest times of people moving around san francisco. you want to go down into union square? you can see the data changes dramatically when we change the neighborhood. and just illustrates how different every neighborhood in san francisco really is. we're announcing today that we're providing some of this data to the city as a kind of public service to help the citizens here figure out how many people walk around their neighborhood. but most

the 75% monthly availability requirement is unclear to us why the city requires cars 75% of the time. around the world, worldwide car sharing 24 by seven. here we're giving away the public right-of-way for 75% of the use but 25% for private use. unclear why that's something we want to do. zone ratio mandate. this requires 15% of all cars to be zone three and zone four to get the high demand spots in zone one. we think this is a bad solution -- >> the time is up but you can quickly tell us the third point. okay. >> third point is parking tickets and parking enforcement. effectively during the initial pilot we spend over $20,000 in parking tickets and parking -- and towing charges. >> thank you very much. next speaker? >> that's the last speaker. >> that's one there. >> first name mr. gill or ms. gill. >> okay. good afternoon. >> hi good afternoon everyone. i am deb gill. i am representing herz corporation and i like the idea and if a customer is picking up from one place and returning to another you know that zone three will get the cars and a big factor andy came up with the idea of r

uses. we are state land, not city property. the state land has a lot of uses. the office has to be maritime- related, unless it is an historic building. our facilities have to be for the people of the state of california. they have to enhance that visit there. they're not local surfing. we cannot do any residential on the waterfront and we cannot do any hotels over the waterfront. there is property on the embarcadero for that. >> somebody told me there were 11 different agencies, probably more that regulate the use of the space. >> it is the city and town of santa cisco, the port, -- of san francisco, the port, the army corps of engineers, fish and game, boating and wildlife. >> every time somebody wants to do something, and has to go through all of these review agencies. >> it makes it very interesting. >> the port is really a separate administrative jurisdiction. the ferry boat we are not on the -- a theory but we are on is not regulated by them. at the port has its own authority granted by state law, state charter which says they have their own building depa

city of st. francis has never gotten and that's distinguished us. project hope has been about our expression now conditionally 50 times. our compassion and our opportunity for everyone who lives and works here to demonstrate that compassion. to each other. to that make this city a safer city and a more successful city but for the city for the 1 hundred percent. i want to a thank las vegas e devon and the whole staff for being here and the public health department. i want to thank our sf thank you and today sports 6 hundred members of our technology companies that point to experience not only the use of technology but also express their compassion for the city in giving back to a city that's helped them be successful. today, we have four very special sponsors and thank you for keeping your rates down. sprint for keeping us communicated prima facia. and virgin mobile and assurance wireless. their not only sponsors here but have brought anti volunteers and every time we get those opportunities you know what it's like first year perhaps for the first tim

in jobs and [speaker not understood] courses to better their lives and better their jobs, and for us city college is like mother of all. it's like mother that is raising children of the world and this is how we see and how we feel about city college. it's one of unique schools that exists. we love city college. we are passionate about it. it only provides affordable education, but high-quality education, that we have the best teachers, the best programs, and without city college we have no future, our students would have no fewerth. ~ future. and we are asking for your help to support this school, supporting the [speaker not understood] life. thank you. >> thank you very much. (applause) >> our next speaker is our sheriff, sheriff mirkarimi. if you're in the room, i did not see you. i apologize. i think you may have been in here. i would have called you sooner. >> thank you. supervisors, it's a pleasure to be before you. ross mirkarimi, city and county of san francisco. city college and the san francisco sheriff's department and our jails deserve a robust relationship. and i was stunned t

they support the infrastructure of the city and we need to keep them healthy so they provide for us. we need to provide for them. mission neighborhood health center provides care to about 4,000 to 5,000 immigrants who will continue to be uninsured. the city of san francisco is estimating that about 20,000 uninsured will remain. about 25% of the families will continue to come to the health center so we need the city's support in helping us do this work and keeping our communities healthy. thank you very much. >> thank you very much. next speaker please. >> good afternoon supervisors. my name is mark alton and the father of an 11 year old, a teacher at betty carmichael school and a soma resident. i appreciate the opportunity to provide public comment. i have been a student of san francisco for most of my life, something about this area has always fascinated me. as you craft a budget now please remember what makes the city so great. in addition to the scenery and tourist teakzs it's us, the individuals and families that form its human landscape. as we celebrate our economy and marvel at

what i was suggesting is that on top of that the city could use city general funds to make some of thenewer units that are accessible affordable and i will just say that much of the affordable housing in the city is sro's that had some level of rehab done to them that makes them affordable but those older buildings tend not to be accessible. they have limited requirements in terms of accessibility. newer construction buildings have greater requirements around accessibility, but because most new construction buildings are not built with section eight because we don't have a lot of money coming in from the federal government for new section eights, those buildings are usually done with tax credits so the level of affordability is much lower than what our very low income clients can afford. most people on ssi can't get into a tax credit building. they are definitionally excluded so i was suggesting that the city use some level of general funds and layer a subsidy just like for homeless folks and get some of the newer accessible units affordable to our folks. >> that would be wonderful. >>

city hall. thank you, again, for all coming to visit us at city hall, please do not be strangers. >> so, good morning, everyone. my name is mark farrell. i'm the supervisor from district 2 here in san francisco. last year, thanks to the great leadership of our mayor ed lee, his office of housing in particular, olson lee and brian chu who are here with us today and my colleagues on the board of supervisors, together and with the voters of san francisco, we passed proposition c, the housing trust fund initiative, to create and approve affordable housing city-wide and to provide loans to assist with the down payment towards the purchase of homes here in san francisco. the passage of the housing trust fund was and is a huge win for all of san francisco and our residents as one step in the right direction towards continuing to solve our city's ongoing housing needs. we are here today to announce the launch of a renewed down payment assistance program for our first responders here in san francisco. statistics will say that the majority of all of our first responders live outside of our city limits, and i f

>> at the right time i wanted to note that in addition to those cities in the us that have this program, a number of international cities, paris, i've used bike share at a number of venues and it's an exciting program so we're fully support of and the partnership of the mta. >> maybe we'll continue with public comment and get the rest of the commission. >> is there any public comment on this item. being none. public comment is close. >> commissioner harrison. a couple of things, will the dimension with this area with the bike racks will that grow as the program grows. i noticed they're expecting quite a bit of growth. >> if you look in your materials you'll see the stations they're putting in. they have a lot located on the sidewalks as well. we really don't have to come back to us if they want to grow it any further than what we have here. >> and the insurance, will that cover us in the event of civil disobedience. >> you mean -- >> if they pick up the bike racks and throw them through a bus window or something? >> i don't think it would cover that because it wouldn't be caused by them

city hall. thank you, again, for all coming to visit us at city hall, please do not be strangers.

don't use a city because they're going to want to meet you, stuff like that. like i said, i use something up in wisconsin. i have a nice pretty little girl on my thing, other pretty girl pictures on there. that's what they like so that's how they get on there. and you just keep adding friends. let them do t. once you get 10 or so, and then 10 of their friends, 50 of their friends, a hundred of their friends, now you'll look like you're a tagger yourself. you're good to go. you get all that intel right there. you try to stay -- phoenix graffiti. * it's not broken. >> do you write any flickr warrants? >> i don't use flickr. instagram is huge right now. >> they went away from flickr. >> they came and went pretty fast. i'm sure there's some still out there, but our kids in phoenix don't really use it. >> it was good because you can put in multiple tags. if you put in the right key words and put a space in between them you can figure out all kinds of crews, monikers, and where they're tagging to, what cities. >> yeah, i've never had to do flickr yet, but insta gram,

us come in today. we have 200 data sets that have already been put out there, but by and large the data sets put out by city government are data sets that i think show us in a very positive way. from my perspective, it's important for us to keep on pushing data sets that allow us to deal with the sometimes imperfections in city government. to figure it out, where it is we need to take risks, we are we can be more entrepreneurial, where we can be more transparent and frank little more accountable to all of you as the residents and as our customers here in city government. and this is why i am proud tomorrow to help move forward legislation that my staff has been working closely with jay nath and mayor leon that will real i do three things. first of all, it will create a chief data officer because we need one person who is responsible and accountable for moving forward our open data agenda. secondly, we're going to require every department in the city to have a representative who is responsible for data so you can go to our transit agency, our police department, any of our 50 plus departments and know who can

so our students that were coming into city college weren't at city college for five or six years and then dropping off. it also allowed us to register students right away with kids that were thinking about going, but not really sure if they wanted to go, who have now -- are showing great strides and being successful at city college. so, our priority around that piece of it is to be able to support the programs that have shown growth and success and actually bridge the success was pointed out in the acc/jc's report as a program that has really been outstanding for the college in terms of aligning the work with our sfusd students. many of our kids that go from city college on to san francisco state require some remediation. so, we're looking at how do we ensure that our kids are actually ready to go on and move on. and that's what the mayor's council has actually been about, is to make sure all of the higher institutions are talking together and that there aren't these different waves of measurement. i'll give you a quick example. in san francisco unified, what we were considering proficient was a much smaller level of pro
