you need and every year we issue another report and we lack the tools to really hold us the collective us, the city, the school district us, accountable for the process that we have publically stated toward a common outcome and common goal. each department believes that we are meeting the goals and we are. we are meeting the goals that we have aligned for ourselves. but as a collective body, we are not sure. we believe that we are but we are not sure. there is no way to say that we are. i know that supervisor avalos just stepped out. but i wanted to give some examples. i'm sorry. i wanted to give an example of some alignment. but supervisor breed, i know that in your district, you've brought together several city departments from san francisco police department to recreation and parks to dpw and pretty much anyone to really address some of the issues in your district from blight to violence prevention, to ensuring more access to quality programs and more access to schools and school services and through coordination efforts that you have demonstrated an convened, we do have more children's services

the buses use muni stops. however, 72 percent say they do want the city to recover the confident of using those stops, to charge the companies. the bay area city council outsourced potting so they feel the results are unbiased. >> we are comfortable. the results are extremely credible questioning 500 voters representing the demographic breakdown and the representation among folks that affiliate themselves with the technical industry was really small. >> they did not ask those being polled about housing. that is called "complicated" and is a generation of failed policy and don't think you can blame it on the technical industry alone. what will they do with the information? it is public information they are hoping it will be used as the city debates the issue. >> happening tonight at 5:00, police will hand out flyers over a series of armed robberies when bart riders have been followed home while the victims usually are distracted using their mobile devices. >> san francisco police hold a meeting to answer questions from the community after officers shot and kills a 28-year-old man last friday. police say they tho

it's not needed a move the traffic it could use the city plaza agreement type of in adapted under the program. the second one is jane warner plaza. jane warner is a plaza that emerged from the parks program in order to create a vibrant gathering place in the castro district. it's through a demonstration project and it it will see more permanent improvements since jan warner has a streetcar running through it. there's an ongoing desire for activation in jean warner as well as activation needs. the third and final example is diego rivera it park it's planned to be on 16 street and 17 street at the bottom of katrero hill. i'm sure you're familiar with diego rivera it and it's in kind agreement came before the competent. it is for creating and maintaining the agreement and it's adapted in the plaza program could be a city plaza. please note there's no a specific activation need and it could be more maintenance and both and not all the plazas have a need for activation so the summary of the schedule now that i've shown you rightone: or examples. as you see the chapter 94 has 3 supporting e

we participate with the city to take over nonprofit use. one thing i can tell you 0 we feel the most dangerous thing you can do with public space is fill it with face moving cars but the city makes you jump through the hoops that's how wild the city gets. we encourage the truly public and civic uses of public spaces is good. i like what he hear here. i think you need to do a lot of work to convince the stakeholders this isn't only about privatization only to distinguish this is a public uses with a civic use vs. the privatization of public spaces. one thick i'd like to talk about part of the problem you have is p zoning it means public it's from the city hall from the plazas like plaza it's universities and schools basically anything this is for public use. it's hard to draw a set of controls for the use when it's got to cover all kinds of different uses some are open space uses and buildings that are owned by public entities we might want to distinguish between open space uses and other public buildings that will allow you to do a set of pl

use. the city attorney advised the other equally committee would be the rules committee and stated a march committee would be arranged and supervisor wiener and 1ek9d by supervisor breed approved it and asked it to be sent to the rules committee. so it's pending before a rules committee. i have several introductions from the board members none of those are the planning code so we'll not be hearing about those arrest supervisor farrell talked about homelessness and they were separate for hearing specifically focusing on lgbt and age use and veterans and seniors and the housing lard and the on cost effective strategy for addressing homelessness. supervisor avalos and 7 accountability supervisors introduced the city local hiring ordinance about applied to all properties around san francisco and supervisor avalos and the same 7 supervisors introduced at the ordinance that would require first source hiring requirements for commercial projects to disclose to the city the principal positions for those projects. also, they would need to disclose the anticipated wages and the apprentices levels. la

this is why we promoted programs like cast to try to find ways to control the land values and land use and to use the city's economic success to get that land control. the ocii or whatever agencies that we have so that we can control land cost and invite the artist and artistic community to join us cloelg these land cost. we don't do that. if i don't get more of these land cost in control, then we are subject to the natural forces going on. our success will eat away at our local arts programs. we can't have that happen. i want to say to the whole arts commission, our helping hand, connect up with ocii and connect with office of economic development, use our success to turn around those properties that are getting out of control with our success. let's get some control in on this. let's invite more of our community based arts programs to join us, our local businesses to join. our foundational to support, our larger economic institutions that are led by kaiser and so many others. join in that economic, make the connection, make land control. we are not going to let the opera house and memorial get away from u

the exact mechanism hasn't been worked out to do it and instead of going to us and then transfer to the city. it's one of those two options. >> i'm sorry, i don't want to get too far away from the actual item itself. button -- but -- on what you just said, it sounds like you have to have an agreement attached to those roth funds to have an spnd you are -- expenditure attached to them. you are saying if we get on the roth that would be in reserve until the park is transferred to the city and then it would be granted to the city? >> it's a little tricky because the cdbg funds are rent payments coming to us. usually how this works is mou gets the money and we grant to people. we are actually getting the money ourselves and we are asking mou to use it and i'm assuming they are going to approve that. and then we would transfer it to them and grant it back to us and we would do a public procurement process to get an entity to do the improvements before we transfer it to the city and they with an agreement or with that restriction on the fund and they would grant it to dpw to do it once the city ow

the city understand what these rules are about. with that, i know this is a large piece of legislation. colleagues, if you have any initial questions to us the city attorney or myself we would love to entertain that now, if not, open up to public comment. >> okay. public comment. >> i would like to bring up someone who is familiar with these issues. >> good afternoon, i'm judge clinton cobb city san franciscans. i want to recommend strongly that you today recommend enactment of this ordinance to the full board of supervisors so that it maybe placed on it's agenda next tuesday. i have read the ordinance in its entirety. it has two salient provisions to protect san franciscans against city government corruption and bin alt. one is direct consultants, they are lobbyist and should be treated as lobbyist. this ordinance does that. the second is the developer self disclosure requirements with respect contributions to non-profit entities which lobby at city hall and lobby on behalf of or depending on the position against they particularly act by the board or even an ordinance proposed to the board. very important. i think you should consider wh

it will help us to avoid the death spiral it will help us to continue to sustain the things that city college has been known for for almost 80 years. i want to thank everybody for being supportive my university partners and most importantly the people of san francisco. thank you (clapping.) good morning. i'm raphael i'm on the board of trustees. first of all, thank you mayor ed lee for convening us here and your commitments to city college and keeping it open adding to san francisco's diverse communities. it's no secret that the last year's have been rough and the perverse is that the people who have been hardest hit are the people who are the least blameworthy the students the faculty and staff who continue to deliver a great education there the difficult things like pay cuts. i want to thank those. of the of the united states faculty from a f t and others. there's been good news this morning one of the things that's been incredibly heartwarming to me is the support the city has shown including last year voters passing prop a and by the more than the 2/3rd's required to insure that c

participation and get the word of mouth out as we know in this city, the peer to peer communication are a key component in anything moving forward and taking off. having a band also shows us the city is committed to a long term to this program on a long term basis. we also need to create feedback with swift attendees to it rate the program and continually improve them since it's new, we are going to get feedback from members. those are the communication goals. >> 40 percent of employers with wellness programs have banded their program and that is the opposite, 60 percent have not. that means they just call it county name wellness program. the benefit of having a brand is that it aids employee recognition when you have a poster or e-mail an it's branded in a consistent way. it helps break noise, indicates information coming from a trusted source. it helps the communications. so, having the actual symbol and name as a brand, doesn't mean you can achieve those things in a way of consistency in topography and color and iconography. we have similar what other employers are doing and we can raise the bar in communication higher than what is typical of what you see in the public

they do every year or so, so our new city attorney been francesco can i don't see here today but hopefully, she'll attend in the near future so you'll welcome her. we use the city attorney has sparely as possible but she has experience with the board of appeals so that's important. i think she'll be a great asset she worked with us on the america's cup appeal the hearing on late night transportation i brought up previously that was called by supervisor wiener. i have a file number now if you want it was just the request for hearing. it will be at land use on march 24th to until that agenda is finally published it can be changed and it's for the mta and bart and ac transit and all the transportation network company from the taxi industry. i know we had spoken about having a hearing here and implicit that's at your pleasure but i'll ask the commission to wait until that hearing is done to see what issues come up at this point, because i've asked supervisor wiener's office to be at the beginning the discussion so i hope to continue to talk about whatever items come up and the more general hearing >> should the industry attend that hearing at land use? >>

use single serving plastic water bottles in san francisco. the ordinance we have in front of us really does three things. it helps to restrict the sale or distribution of bottled water on city property. it sets city policy to increase the availability of drinking water in public areas. and it generally bar the use of city funds to purchase bottled water. ~ bars folk who have asked why we are moving forward with this legislation ~ and i want it remind people that it was not long ago that our world was not addicted to plastic water bottles. it wasn't until the 1990s that the now $60 billion plastic bottle water industry experienced an enormous growth based on massive marketing and distribution campaigns. and before that for centuries, everyone managed to stay hydrated. in 1976 the average american drank 1.6 gallons of water a year. 30 years later that number increase today an average of 28 gallons per person. today americans buy more than half a billion bottles of water every week, which is enough to circle the globe twice, and americans drink more bottled water than any other nation. in san francisco, [speaker not understood] alone collects 10 to 15 million single use plasti

with citywide the municipal water use has decreased so all the city departments are nearly on here. the water use has declined fwi percent since fiscal year 07 and 08 we're part of that but given the current drought there is more that needs to be done what are redoing that takes us into the current data. a couple of things irrigation was our main water use we're the largest city water user that's normal. we're looking to reduce our irrigation operation by 10 periods of time we'll ideal back our timer control setting as he the gardenerers will be mindful of pulling back their application of water by 10 percent this is one see exception no name reflecter motor it means sexy electronic probes into the ground will measure the root zone moisture content. those probes allow you to control the irrigation exactly to what the roots needs it's probably the best tdr industry. golf course is already at the maximum use of their uses so we want to get the probes out to the other implying places to use the technology. we're going to turn off our recreational water features religious are the ones th

repeating stated the robust energy program that leads us to the informs i would say to clean energy is required to enable us to reach our goals on schedule. every definite version of the cities aforementioned plan includes clean sf as the corner stone. unfortunately, when the final strategy came out all the information was deleted from the document. especially this week it's clear we need to hold our elected officials accountability to the people that elected that that they represent not the corporations and any companies that give them campaign donations. we need to be accountability to the people of san francisco >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello supervisors and thank you for hearing from us. i'm kearney chair the conservation committee in san francisco i've been working on clean power issues since 2007. i mentioned that to talk about why i'm talking about this i'm getting impartitient the zero we that was talked about and 50 percent of trips out of single occupancy cars sounds good, however, there's a critical piece mensz a real strategy to transfer our city to one hundred percent renewable emergency. but it got deleted as discussed from the climate action stra

one of the ways we're doing this to focus our enforcement resources and our education resources and our engineering effort you hear data driven we're using date as a model of for the city in terms of how we use our resources so who is driving that data i want to acknowledge ben rosenfeld and barbara garcia and her staff and tilly chang at the county of transportation authority and the planning department. we've had a lot of which the smarter mind but last but not least the staff of the mta the sustainable street staff a lot of the bright minds in the city working together to analyze this data that will help us use our resources enforcement and education and when it comes time to pitting things in the ground the department of public works and mayor's office on disability and carmen johnson and tom from our building inspector we're working he together to put this stuff in the ground and that finally at the sfmta we're led had by a board of directors they've identified safety as the number one priority so i want to acknowledge sheryl bringing man here strongest voice advocating for bicycle and pedestrian safety and all the road users with all the folks standing behind me

the obligations in effect. it would help us meet our existing obligations in any of our major approved project areas. certainly afterwards after 10 -15 years wind down the city could expand if there are any additional improvements needed and use sz with consistent law. the next item relates to an administrative cost an allowance for housing entities public housing entities differentiated from the city's housing success or, the mayor's office of housing and community developments. the way the law is written as you know there is 3 percent administrative fee. so whatever the total value of property tax is, 3 percent on top of that can be used for administrative cost up to three 3 percent and this now allows the housing entities for administrative cost. 1 percent to housing authorities. it doesn't go to the locals. in fact the previous versions of the bills specifically exclude the cities and counties from this. it was only meant to go e to the federal agencies. here because our, the city elected to be the housing success or and the housing authority, the san francisco housing authority is not the housing success or. there are no, there is no distribution. but i

it was ten years ago the people police have fled their homes when us forces pushed into the city during the second siege of falluja this marked the bloodiest battles since the vietnam war and the first time the us military not primarily against insurgents rather than the iraqi government for saints. this crucial area is located just thirty five miles from the capital city of baghdad. when families returned home after the scenes ten years ago many founder net neighborhoods decimated thousands of buildings were destroyed. now the citizens of falluja are in their second at cbs. most refugees have i've gone to the sunni region of saliva. others are in the shiite holy city of karbala. the un has been providing aid to those affected by the fighting in non bar. despite the challenges posed by the deteriorating security environments. however some highs are scared since leaving corridors are getting korean its. but for those who remain in falluja the situation is even more dire. according to congressional research service reports the us and russia have provided thirty eight billion dollars worth

that's what we are looking for is appropriate fundings to help us replace fixtures around the city. we have grants to help us make that happen. we hope to make best practices for irrigation and fixing leaks appropriately. and parks and recreation and dpw are starting to control their irrigation as well as the puc because we have a lot of land scaped areas. people are working on this quite well together. one of the things about the system again that is old that we've been actively working on the 4.6 water system improvement program and i'm happy to report that's 80 percent complete to address current and future system needs. those are aimed at increasing reliability. during the rim fire, for example, our improvements at the snow valley treatment plan is more reliable in case we have to filter the supply. if we had to filter it we can do it reliably at the treatment plant. that's what we are doing now going forward this year if we need to filter the cherry lake supply. these kinds of things are what we are doing going forward. on the state at legislature fund, there are three areas we
