in city college. my name is cathy buick. i'm a city college alumni who just like one of our students back here who has lived more than their dream because city was free in 1973. i am a resident of san francisco for 40 years and i'm really upset about the way my voice is being usurped at the school that i live and i've been a teacher there for 35 years. i feel it's imperative to remove and i thank you for your effort. it is not only -- it's dangerous to allow a special trustee, super trustee with extraordinary powers which sounds like an action figure -- [laughter] >>> to continue to reside at city college. i believe the violence that happened yesterday, in the 35 years i've been there, i never saw anything like that and i hope i never see anything like it again. and i believe it is a direct result of the lack of communication between the super trustee and the rest of the community. it's also a result of the decisions that have been made that totally dishonor the needs of our students and our community

where i will start we're lucky san francisco is a great city and one of the most walkable city if not in the world it attracts people here. it's a great city to walk around and be in. however, we we have a problem and the problem is people are getting killed in our streets and that shouldn't be happening pr it's unacceptable people are getting killed my seriously injured it's traefblg not only for the families especially for the families to whom it happens but for our whole city but the good news is it's preventable every one of those dedicates and serious injuries is preventable. the good news behind that is that we have great leadership in the city as manifested by the strong and power showing of folks behind me that are focused and committed and dedicated to preventing those serious collisions and fatality collisions so we get the benefits of our beautiful walkable city without worrying about getting hurt or killed. at the top of that primer is our chief collective who has brought people together to solve problems. i think what we're going to talk about today is the epitomize any s

goal of being the most walkable city. so i say to you today, we're acting on this today and i appreciate the people's efforts it's not enough it's not fast enough people are going to say but the thing i want to say the people who drive in the city slow down. you've got to slow down all the construction trucks with a great indication of our economic recovery have got to slow down. all the people that >> emergency vehicles have to be sure what they're doing is the safety and most efficient way to provide that service we need to slow down and promote people looking both ways before they cross the street taking that supra precaution for themselves and their families. we're going to be doing that through education and enforcement and good solid investment we're given around historic comments. i think this the comprehensive and we're going to keep the safe groups working with us and the advocate so we'll respond efficiently. i thank our police and fire and all departments. for the departments that are implementing these things

with that, i would like to invite up our city attorney mr. herrera for some comments. >> thank you, mr. president and members of the board and thank you for the opportunity to come and spend a couple minutes to talk about this legislation forum today. first i want to thank and congratulate president chu for all of his hard work over the last year. you may recall that supervisor chiu and i introduced this legislation last year and at the time announced it was our belief that thises the most important ethics legislation to advance before the board of supervisors in its generation and i happen to believe that that remains the truth. we have painstakingly worked over the last year with supervisor chiu's office to put together the packet that you are considering today really concedes the orange -- objective over this legislation. over the last year it has repeatedly demonstrated it's is the importance of promoting legislation that is in the best keeping of the ethical and the people have the confidence of the transparency. i think this legislation

not a domino of city funds. which went into this it's all privately paid for as part of the housing going that brian can tell you about he was building market rate condominiums not part of castro but are happy to do it this can be the example of the kind of example and relationships we want to for this with our development community yes, in the future we'll have more of those how to work with developers like brian who wants to do more in our city this is heartfelt for 23 families but it will be a symbol we need 23 more projects immediately. i'm happy to be here and to thank our different divisions and departments working with us and brian has a attempting team and to suggest that he and other developers come in and i've got thirty thousand units to build in the next 6 years and we're excited to do that. maybe we can take a few questions on this >> almost thirty thousand units how realistic is that and how (inaudible) prioritizing how quick can you bring those in. >> we know things and britain will tell you their

this is what makes our city special. you look at all the city's and great cities it depend upon their citizenry to bring out the best of our resident to hear and be those effective conduits. i'm going to ask you to pay attention to the responsibility you occur in our bodies of work but pay attention to issues looish like affordability and housing and people being hurt or the folks on the streets or the need to produce a better health plan and health care. all the things that make our city great no matter if you sit on entertainment or arts paying attention to the quality of life for everyone is important. for me it's about collaborating and you be thinking freely. this need not be your issue but if you pay attention you'll find of the conduits whether you're fire or local business you'll find the conduits that make the collaboration better. thank you for thinking outside the box and thank you for being responsible citizens that take up the cause for all of us. let's go and precede and if i can i would like you all to sta

this is my first time speaking at city hall. i just wanted to share with you my story of city college. ~ buyers i've actually been involved with these budget cuts and college protests since high school. and in high school i even took [speaker not understood] we had the health academy which introduced students to careers in the health field through city college. and the instructor -- the instructors for that program were fantastic. it was a very warm, friendly setting. something that i had to deal with in my senior year of high school with my father passing away halfway through my senior year, and that really hurt me in my grades and all around. and i was afraid, i didn't know what i was going to do. when i went to city college i had no plans to transfer, but through the years i spent there since 2011 i found an incredible community of people, an incredible community of teachers, people who i want to keep close and keep as support. this school has meant so much to me and as an art student myself, i want to pursue my improvement i

they know that this city and this community, we love city college. it's a jewel. it's one of the most important gains, it's the backbone of our democracy, the heart and soul of our city. to destroy that, they cannot do that with an aloe he electricitied board because we would speak their accountable whether if we don't agree with a decision, they're answerable and they can be removed. that's the heart of democracy and you have to impose, like they do in michigan, or like they've done in greece because it all stems from the same banksters mentality. they have these special e-u commissions to impose policies where even the governments in europe cannot make the decisions. those are made by committees and banksters beholden to imf. this is the same agenda. (applause) >>> so, we need to -- is that my first or second? >> time, okay. >>> thank you. >> thank you very much. (applause) >> [speaker not understood] clemmons. [speaker not understood]. [speaker not understood]. demetrius [speaker not understood]. next speaker. >>> hello, my name is angel van stark and i am the

city of oakland church. i would like to say thank you for passing this measure and this you to the entire san francisco area and community. it's imperative that we get this medication and everybody's medication that needs them that can't afford them. few people may know it but i have tested positive for hiv in september of 1988. along with a diagnosed i was given a life expectancy for 11 years. had it not been for the grass roots organization to provide medicine to me. i wouldn't be here today as things trickle down budget wise it does work and does matter. there is nothing more disheartening that you can get help and get to the doctors and they say your medicine is not on our list. we can't give it to you. it's discouraging and at the same i want to say thank you and god bless you for all that you are doing for us. it definitely working. never think it's going in vein. it's definitely working. i have seen many things in my life that i would not have seen were it not for your efforts. >> next speaker. >> tha

the city attorney and the deputy city attorney will explain in a moment. so first we have should amotion to go into closed session and perhaps words from the city attorney and then a vote. >> do i here a motion? >> so moved that we go into private session. >> i will second. >> and any discussion? >> public comment? >> do you want me to comment before or after? >> yes, please. >> my view is that we it is necessary to go into closed session, the basically any question that, so just as a bit of back up, you know this was, these two settlements, the city attorney's office and sort of took the lead in negotiating these settlements both with mr. yaki and mr. grijalva and all of the litigation occurred in the context of the settlement negotiations with mr. yaki. and so basically any questions that i could be asked about how the settlement occurred, the process of the settlement and it could not be disclosed. in the public session. >> and so for that reason, i think that we have to go into closed session. >> and one question, and i believe that we can discuss this

beginnings to our city. we've embraced this as cultural and trade for censures and tourism. the most visible influence of fravrns france what can be found in our monument to the city beautiful. it's a movement that was designed by the architect arthur brown who was trained in paris and our city hall was designed. some might say that still isn't france greatest influence in san francisco but might be the legacy of french bakers who brought flour do you get during the california gold rush, you know, do you get is a culinary traditions and the most important french companies were founded by french immigrants who recipe shill lives on today, it's the oldest continuing running company. so mr. president, i hope you'll see how much we san franciscans value our french county to our character and the quality of our city. you have a standing invitation to visit whatever you want and our doors will be open to you. it's with great honor i hereby present to you the key to the city of san francisco (clapping.) mr. preside

of the city. third cities in this network and that is really quite an innovation will have access to an integrated platform of services ledger millions of dollars of resources far beyond our initial one hundred million to support the reliance strategy those clus include the spurring for investments and infrastructure and new uses of the data and stools ease realigns land use and building design and new forms of municipal catastrophe insurance >> other innovative insurance that exist on this platform it includes swiss and the world bank and architecture for the world economy my the institute for the architects they're here. and forget the cities will become the members of the realigns network and will provide support to member cities and sharing the knowledge and realigns best practices and foster new connections and panicking is in contact already with a xashld counterparts in new zealand and other cities that have had their share of seismic episodes. the bay area cities will get it is 4 supports

property and in our city facilities. i want to take a moment and thank all of the folks who have worked with my office over the past nine months to really move this forward starting with the department of the environment, with the rec and park department, the mta, the puc, the department of public health, the port, and the real estate department. i also want to thank the think outside the bottle national campaign, the corporate accountability international organization who has for the better part of 10 years been advocating to this issue. i also want to thank the many small business advocates, event producers, off the grid large event organizers and management of large venueses for their work with my office on this, as well as s.f. travel. we've had a lot of environmental organizationses from the sierra club to the surf riders foundation to the pacific institute who have worked with us on this legislation. want to also thank the city attorney's office, dave [speaker not understood] who initially gave me the idea to start

city this is on page 3. city officers and employees may lawfully use city resources [speaker not understood] potential impact of a ballot measure on city operations. the analysis must be made available to the public. so, i think that's a helpful reminder to city departments it will be performing this analysis. >> if i may. some of the questions that were included in this request were drafted by people that had taken a position against the measure. and will there be an opportunity for people who may have a different perspective to, you know, request that perhaps other information be considered? >> most certainly, i think requests for information are always, always helpful. and the more information, the better. again, we will be leaving this to the impacted or subject area departments to scope that analysis and to perform it in a way that conforms with this political activities memo, not making the case one way or another, because facts can be malleable, but in fact presenting the most impartial -- presenting

, it keeps the opportunity going and it keeps the city and its residents in the city. i want to thank supervisor avalos for championing this. it's a great legislation. thank you for your support. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >>> hi, my name is army morgan and i'm speaking on behalf of the operating engineers local 3 [speaker not understood] international operating engineers. and we're excited about these two ordinances and we'd like to, you know, give all our support towards it, with the local hire and prevailing wage. you know, we're definitely on board. me being from, you know, and my family being from the southeast part of the city and that community stands to benefit greatly, you know, by, you know, these middle class jobs that could be created through this legislation. and, you know, it will help, you know, create, you know, a lot of, you know, you know, better, you know, opportunities for the, you know, the community and all the city, you know, and all these communities in the city. and they have a better, you know, standard of living, [speaker n

can help us answer that question and deputy city attorney. unfortunately, i'm not versed in this >> i think supervisor wiener brought this up and it got confusing if you have a two-story home it's not two units subject to rent control. >> it was my understanding from the conversations with the rent board as well the second unit that is illegal would be treat as a rent controlled unit by rent board. additionally i believe that not all single-family dwellings are contempt from 9 rent control it's the date and it's subject to provisions of rent control and we are i think working more alcohols with the rent control board and having in house training their staff comes to our department to explain the process. that's my understanding of the situation >> it would be good to clarify i know when i started on the board of appeals. people were you're going the legality to lastly each other. the city was trying to get rid of the unit or put in a violation. i'm supportive of this legislation it's something we've talked about and it's one the third rail pe

most of all of our city buildings. the changes required that you see in the amendment stem from regulations adopted by the regulatory agency, the north american electrical reliability association. at this has recommended training in excess prior levels and requires the city and union to negotiate new staffing levels which would allow for the training to be done on straight time rather than an over time basis. we have and arbitration award by the city by the controller's costing document that was finalized yesterday. on one side the union ends up with the training requirement document in the collective bargaining agreement and for the city's perspective, the public utilities commission commission is a 5-day schedule than a 7-day schedule and this allows us to do the training on the straight time rather than over time and over to one of the powerhouses. i think it's a win win for both parties even though it was a long adversarial task and we bring you with an award for the center. >> thank you. is there anyone from puc h

as a city we've had a don't ask don't tell our city turns a blind you eye but the department of building inspectors has eliminated unpermitted in-laws per year based on complaints. now it has a negative impact on tenants and owners the tenants may not have a lease or protective section. and despite earning income from renting the in-laws the owners face the losing of units as i said before there's no tracking of in law units we know green from a door to door study those units are overwhelmingly occupied by families with children and seniors and immigrants and low income folks who pay $250 per month of nearly 35 hundred per month in the city. this stock will be wrought in to preserve the housing and to reactivate vacant units kept off of the market pr this dovetails with the policy in which the mayor took action to preserve the cities protection including undergo a discretionary process. now let me take a moment to say the goal is not coming at the expense of building life safety. the in law must be compliant to make sure that the tenants live in safe areas in cases of emergencies like ea

the cro will work with regional partners participating in the 100 cities network which include the cities of oakland berkeley and alameda to develop the strategy and i am available to answer any questions and i have patrick here that can answer the questions to the grant. >> thank you. >> colleagues any questions? >> okay. thank you very much. >> we do not have a budget report, we will move on to the public comment. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. >> could i have a motion to approve this. >> and send it forward to the full board without objection. >> all right, madam clerk, do we have any other business in front of us, >> no, chair. >> no, chair. >> all right, we are adjourned. announcer: b dreams and good grades aren't enough to get into college. there are actual steps you need to take. finding someone who can help is the first and most important. for the next steps, go to knowhow2go.org. (clapping.) first of all, let's give horn to god alleyway mighty for bringing us here today today is a historic occasion. this sermon is dedicated to the memory of doctor george davis the man

, what policies of other cities consider not just seattle, but perhaps other cities are enacted to mitigate the impacts of these so-called tncs. we want san franciscans to enjoy high quality and safe service and we believe we can have both. so, i look forward to continuing the conversation and learning more about the complex issue. a we he craft legislation for accountability, transparency, and most of all, public safety as the new industry of uberses and other type vehicles expands in our city. ~ also, i wanted to alert people that traffic danger and pedestrian safety issues haven't been only occurring in other districts, but in the richmond district, it's been one of the critical issues of many of us in district 1. last night at about 5:15 p.m., a five-year old child and one adult were struck right outside the golden gate park senior center on 37th and fulton, and my office has been working with residents in that area for quite a while to try to calm traffic, but it's another example of how i believe the city must deliver safety projects much, much faster and the vision zero [speaker not

i said go to portland, salt lake city. is a growing city. salt lake city is different. literally, every excuse is that every city we mentioned there is success, discounted based on a fireman, development or growth factors of the politics of the city. is taunting task when you make the argument about density, washington, d.c. and that would never work here. why would you want an inflexible rail line? they are great because they are flexible. you can move it around. doesn't that make sense? they want a fixed conduit, a fixed pipeline up the ball. continued demand or continued people or tracking. does not make the argument. amount would have occurred elsewhere. so my hats off to you. you have overcome arguments that we have not yet overcome in getting the local populace to approve $89 million in local spending. populationways had and city. probably do not have a lot of congestion problems in tucson. it is a great segue to highways. part of the transit equation. you cannot discuss one without really having a feeling for the moneyand have a continued no object philosophy of

. >> deputy city attorney john gibner again. on page 2 of the ordinance line 21 provides that the funds shall be placed on budget and finance reserve and rather than budget and finance committee reserve the ordinance will read board of supervisors reserve and the title of the ordinance will change according >> okay. so that's supervisor yee's amendment described by the city attorney and second by supervisor cowen once this is amended one of us will introduce a motion we sit as a committee as a wholesome weeks later and we'll make that decision collectively. any more discussion on that amendment without objection >> supervisor kim. >> i want to respond to some of the colleagues first of all, thank all for this robust discussion. our office supported this nonprofit dismramentd work group this is only one piece of the fund and this is not the only thing they're looking at the planning code and pro bono services from realtor and rents throughout the city so there's a lot of avenues we're looking at point. we're looking at the fundin

and in favor of the city. and the bdr is conducting collection efforts at this point and the third one, will be, is set for the litigation but has not come to court yet. >> okay. >> and then, i just wanted to make sure that the commission knows because of the comments that have been made, statements of economic interest and the section seven and i don't have a comment on that but under the state law, we are allowed to assess late fines for people who violate, but we have no enforcement authority over form 700 and their constant, the ethics commission can cannot investigate or take action on those, we have to defer them to the state. >> so we can levy five, and i don't understand. >> when the people file late, we can levy late fines, but if people falsify the documents, and don't report the things that they are supposed to or refused to file and that is out of our hands. >> okay, that is all that i have for today. >> any questions or comments? >> well, interest to the hear about and you look at the variance, pa

city. so actually before i -- i should introduce myself. i'm maria, the director for department youth and families. today is the youth advocacy day. today we had well over 175 high school students from our public high schools meeting with department heads and city officials to really share their voice and concerns around what can make this city better for them. i would like to thank you for your voice, support and efforts and meeting with them. this you very much for that. >> it's my pleasure to share the podium with our superintendant richard carranza who did an excellent job in framing the process that we have gone thus far. it's now my job to pivot the conversation to share with you the policy recommendations that we want to put forward bfrm i go into that we want to point out a couple of guiding principles constant as we were developing and designing these policy recommendations. the core beliefs came from what we heard the ococ, our children, our cities community input process as well

city. how do we collaborate in a more intentional way to capture value from our existing and future resources. secondly we have to adopt a more holst ic approach to learning and the era of no child left behind because we can talk about the benefits of the "no child left behind" and it was not congruent with what we believe in san francisco is a full education for all children. so how do we develop this more holistic approach to learning that supports not only academic attainment but college and career readiness for everyone of our students. thirdly how do we maintain and strengthen key support for our families and students in our community and four, we need to strengthen and diversity the services for our youth in san francisco. that's what we heard from our community as we engaged in this outreach and community input process. the good news is that we were not the only ones conducting these processes. there were a number of groups that also talked about this process in a way. the community

city administrator's real estate division, the office of economic and work force development and city planning which are reportedly leading the community engagement effort tort clean up of chapter 23-a administrative code. and also that the board of supervisors reports that it will not implement recommendation 4 for the reasons as follows. the recommendation is not within the scope of the board's responsibilities and the board defers to the efforts of other city departments on the matter. and that the board of supervisors urges the mayor to cause the implementation of accepted findings and the recommendations through his or her department heads and through the development of the annual budget. on that motion? >> i'll move that. >> all right. without objection. [gavel] >> and before we move on to item number 4, going back to item number 2 regarding are the wheels moving forward, we'd like to take a moment to rescind that vote and adopt amended language for that. >> motion to rescind. >> all right. without objection. for the response to the civil grand jury report on are the wheels movi

maintain and create jobs in the city. i'm here to say thank you jose to really let everybody you know how appreciative i've been 0 o and lucky to have you as a leader in our financial literacy captain. ooip i've been lucky to inherit a movement gavin was there before me and a visionary and i still get his council as he goes across california doing great things in education. gavin i say thank you that f in your new really as lieutenant governor everything we've accomplished we get a national and state audience because of the work you've done. with that our visiony and former mayor now lieutenant governor gavin newsom. >> (clapping.) >> thank you. obviously, we have the same speech writer i have nothing else to say about jose wonderful work and thank you for covering the base is. i ran over to college and wondered what happened to terminate limits that's been 10 damn years you're not over this yet, huh? . i was thinking what was the world would it be like. but it is remarkable to go back in time as the mayor was reflecting

this process is essentially parallel to the city process but slightly different because the city is acting in hits regulatory process with a permit here. in a similar way the street plazas will have an open permit process where the stewards can submit their permit we have it right away right now as a thirty paying day period. there is ongoing outreach and the permit he would be identified and work with the city to be presented to the board of supervisors and for adaptation. all plazas have a term of 5 years or less if the strurd is having subsequent improvement. for example, this process we look at 3 examples. a reminder this is a elective package doesn't include the stewards it will have to be adapted on a plaza by plaza process and approved by the board of supervisors. the first example is the hub plaza. the plazas program and incentive as a home is dreaded out of other processes. macomb hub pleasing is created by freeway on market and octavia. it's 0 identified as a community open space why did octavia market plan through several years the use of the space is a multiple space for the pl

dialog we require our students to serve the city of san francisco and to fleern the city. we focus on city problems and opportunity but we're challenged by our urban location and our fooment. in order to meet those challenges and remain financially viable we need to chief among them is to build student housing and to upgrade our delipidated facilities. we established a distributed canvas model with branch champions downtown and around the bay area. our under graduates remain on the hilltop and they need housing. we hope you'll agree it's a benefit for u sf to build the housing we have the land and by housing students on the campus we pull them out of the richard where short-term students driving up the market rate. they can walk to class and all the campus amenities it's consistent with the 0 cities approach. we need to make some could he improvements to the facilities on campus we need to build a residence hall and currently, we have one of the lowest percentages of students living on campus. we can only promise our students you housing in the first year you know how impo

and what rur city will become. they can't afford to live in the city and that isn't the legacy we want to leave for our children and grand children thmpt mosake that is uniquely san franciscan is also evidence of the inescapable truth that each culture is highly dependent on the other for success. though it is true that hopefully in the best of circumstances every generation owes much to the preceding generation. standing on sth stoulders of giants, the hope is the current generation also bequeevs to the succeeding generation a renewed sense of what is possible. the willingness to continue to dream of possibilities in america and there are a number of folks that are here. some had to leave earlier, but i want to acknowledge lily waung [inaudible] lieuesea [inaudible] michele coon.

the greatest city in the world but i and everyday now are proving it to be the greatest city people want to be looking at the views and riding great cable cars up to the stars and walk the block but we want to touch people's hearts like that kid did. everyday we're doing our best. sth past year we've learned more youth that on the streets then we thought before more less obedience and gaze a population of 50 percent we reduce chronic homelessness by 38 percent that's good but we have more to do we always have more to do we invite the challenges and create new perspires that's why good looking is here we need the best of our city government workers and the best of our community to help folks. we want to be astronomer active for them so when google said they're to come in a volunteer i smiled because they started with the affordability how about free muni for youth for the next 23 years how about wifiing our parks so monoanyone can use this afternoon how about the rally for life how about all the wonderful grants give to impact people's lives in a positive way and to join the volunteers. t

, and the cities that have more experience with it, are often contacted by cities where these services are new. and so, we have been talking a lot about, you know, what the issues are and how we should respond, and so, i know that tncs are actually prohibited in new york city, and austin, and new orleans and portland and miami and detroit and philadelphia. and the other jurisdictions where they have appear are scratching their heads and trying to figure out where and how to regulate the service and particularly to insurance and that is happening in boston, chicago, and washington, d.c., and georgia, denver, and dallas and houston and pittsburgh and happening all over the country and i am hopeful that there will be coordination among the state and local governments, on this issue. and so that we don't end up with a huge patch work of different regulations and every single town and city. seattle was among the first to act, and just within the last couple of weeks, adopted regulations that limit each tnc company to a fleet of 150 vehicles, it requires primary commercial insurance, and it
