city. mayor joseph aliotto, steered the city through the 1960s and 1970s, and through projects like bart and transamerica. mayor george mascone fought to keep the san francisco giants here. congresswoman nancy pelosi became the first woman to serve as speaker of the house of representatives in 2007. those who live, work or visit san francisco are fortunate to experience traces of the earliest contributions and creations of san francisco italian culture in businesses, shops, daily lives throughout north beach. every time i'm in north beach, i'm reminded of my great uncle and aunt who met in north beach. he was a fixture there in the '50s and '60s and she was the bell evidence secretary at the grammar school. they were both so proud of their italian heritage and i hope they would be proud of the steps we're taking here today. i want to thank the coalition of italian-american organizations and lorenzo ortono. i also want to thank supervisor peskin that represents north beach. this ordinance se

the city is not a museum. the buildings should serve the needs of the people who live here today, not those who were here 100 years ago. the status quo is starvation and death. we need progress, we need housing, we need 827. >> supervisor tang: thank you, i'm going to call up other names. i'm a renter in the city of san francisco. i suspect we're underrepresented here because they have to go to work to make income to afford the rent here. so i don't think this is discussion is actually about us, this bill, sb 827 is not going to effect us on either side as much as the next generation. we have a responsibility toward the next generation to build the infrastructure they need to live in the city. and right now, we're failing to do that. so, i hope my children will be able to live in the city and not just parents who have a house here around 1970. >> supervisor tang: let's respect everyone's comments. thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> my name is joe, i'm a renter in soma. i lived in sf now for four yea

so those are now in place and are going up around the city. and we're making sure it's clear to the public that the box cannot be used. >> supervisor peskin: is there policy consensus, that despite the declining usage, albeit the validity rate is going up, that it's a redundant system we want to continue to have? >> we haven't entered into that conversation. i think that's what the study would be about, to really understand. i think it would be good to poll the community, good to get a citizens group to help as well to understand value. it may be of high value in areas that are very dense in the city. it may be of less value when you look at the call and the distribution of the call data in other parts of the city. i think that's a study that needs to be done. because times have changed. >> yeah, i also offer in the context of that study, it's not just about density, it's about what the population is. older population, less well-to-do population are less likely to have cell phones, so those are areas you want that. but there is the larger safe

i also my family and i live in the city. when i am not working, i am still on the bus on the train riding my bike, walking, driving in the city. i feel like i am somewhat emersed in the job even when i am not working. that is pretty much what i do. a big part of the job is developing a budget every two years. >> thanks for that. before we get to questions. let's start off with overview about the sfmta budget and describe what it means for the city of san francisco. >> happy to do that. i have slides i will use to guide the conversation. it is a large agency. the budget can be a little bit complex. i am glad we only do it every two years. it is obviously an important part of what we do. the budget is what frames a lot of the activity we do over the course of the years. to start out with, just to give a sense of the scope and scale of the agency and rough numbers. $1.1 billion operating budget. that is the money we spend every year. $3.6 billion five year capital program. those are the investments that we are making over time

>> deputy city attorney jon givner. the way the resolution is currently drafted, the board would be taking a single approval action now, and the airport in its discretion could extend the lease awhen the options come up. you could amend it to today to reflect what miss widener is saying, and that would put everybody on the same page. >> supervisor fewer: would you like to do that? >> supervisor safai: yes. i'd like to make a motion to amend the resolution to say that -- add the language, at the approval of the board of supervisors, as well. >> supervisor fewer: okay. and then we can take that amendment without objection? thank you very much. seeing no members of the public. >> clerk: madam chair, would you like to recommend this to the full board as amended? >> supervisor fewer: yes, please. >> clerk: is there a motion? >> supervisor fewer: yeah. it's a motion. >> supervisor fewer: yes. >> supervisor safai: yes. motion to approve to send this item to the full board as amended with positive recommendation. >> supervisor

our immigrant community makes our city more diverse. it makes our city more safe. we're here to protect them. it's no secret that our city like many others across the country, is facing incredible pressures from the policies coming out of the federal administration in washington d.c. the president has based his campaign and his political platform on hate and distrust and is something that as san francisco residents, we will not stand for. we will stand up for our communities and we will uphold our values in san francisco. just this week we know that ice detained 150 individuals across the bay area. families were ripped apart. lives shattered here in the bay area. and i am here to reassure all san francisco residents, especially the immigrant community, we are here to support you. you are an integral part of our city and you are not forgotten. are the forefront of our minds. it's why when i first took office i sat down with our immigrant service providers in city hall, advocates to hear directly from them what we could do to help. and one of the things that i heard

cape town they know what the struggle for water is like in fact an extreme drought could force the city to run out of water completely the crisis has already taken a toll on cape town tourism and agricultural industries it's also highlighting the gap between rich and poor and joining us to discuss this in cape town zambia limburg is a city councilor and chairperson of the water resilience advisory committee should know your highness an activist with the water crisis coalition michael hilo another member of the water crisis coalition and an organizer with the general industries workers union of south africa and kevin winter lead researcher with the urban water management research group welcome everyone to the stream. when we last visited this issue on the stream it was in december it looked like this is cape town facing a future. about the water the local government was warning of an impending danger varo may eighteenth by when the city was projected to be without water and since then that campaign seems to have been scrapped is there all still reality well there are many factors that in

or out of the city. so that's something that we're going to be working even more closely on and making sure that everybody understands how to do that. so that you can continue your operations from any point. >> thanks. anybody else want to share on mutual aid? elaine? >> thank you, elaine forbes from the port of san francisco, we wanted to reiterate something said, it's about the learning experience we bring back. i have a staffer who is emergency planner for the port and she deployed to santa rosa and was co-manager of the eoc and two of the things she came back with. one was the i.t. technology and how paper based it was, white boarding and prioritizing without any real computer base and said despite that, everyone was really incredibly good at putting first things first. but it did seem that the technology, maybe mobile technology, hand held apps we could have to avoid a paper-based response is critical. the other thing she reported was the incredible fatigue. just these 20-hour shifts, 15-hour shifts

as i leave the city, i leave you with a plea to support the city's transportation system because it's great system. please pay your fare and it's okay to get a parking ticket and get your car towed. it's already. -- all right. if anybody wants my job, or know somebody who you think may want to do my job, forward my name to ed. i need time with my successor to show them where i hide the money, particularly from ed. lastly, i'd like to close by sharing a poem that summarizes my 12 years with the mta finances by an anonymous author called the cork and the whale. a brown cork fell in the path of a whale who lashed it down with his angry tail, but in spite of the blows the cork arose and floated before the whale nose. said the cork to the whale, you may slap and frown but you can't keep me down for i'm made of the stuff that is buoyant snuff -- enough to float and never drown. thank you very much. >> now you know why we put her last. i hope you understand that. thank you to the award winners and thank you for coming and for the spur board and everyone else here and have a great night. i wa

so it's just not the best design for people coming from out of the city into the city. especially in regards to speeding. you know, me as a mother, i've seen at my son's school, some serious barriers there and part of the problem is the drivers themselves. so you know, they don't have the right to go through the red light, but ironically, the law sometimes allows that, they may or may not know if they can go through that red light or not. and may or may not end up in jail. how do we resolve that problem with people going through red lights? it's scary. specifically for deaf-blind individuals who have no or limited vision and they're trying to walk and all of a sudden, they're hit. the emphasis really is on the driver. >> thank you so much for the feedback. i couldn't agree with you more regarding concerns with respect to speeding and red light running. for vision zero, we actually have the sf police department, has a program called focus on the five, where they focus on the top violations that contribute to the most severe traffic injuries in the city. and that includes

and the city amendment number five. it's been amended five times, mostly for economics, in some instances to add money to the contract, and in other instances and notably in 2011 and 2012, to take money away from the contract when the city was in financial distress. so this is our first full round since 2007. it is being led by our very able employer relations manager, luanna preston who has many years in labor relations working with unions and public agencies. she could not be with us today so i am representing the whole team. we have been meeting with the p.o.a. and with the union's negotiating committee on a regular basis since october. the mediation and arbitration dates have been scheduled in the event that they are need and had will continue through the month of april and early may. as you state correctly, we do report to and take direction from the mayor. we've had very unusual circumstances in this round of negotiations where we've reported to three mayors, and i will say that because of the nature of labor rela

this is a city-wide solution to a city-wide problem and most of the neighborhoods to not have a community benefit district that will help with this, but this supplemental will. the problem has increased disproportionately to population increases throughout the city. and the citizens of san francisco, using this pocket change we found in the couch, will see a positive increase of 8% of the manual street cleaning crews out on the streets. these are actual jobs. and they are union jobs. so hands up for the 9916 brothers and sisters who are doing the work. this will assess many of our commercial corridors throughout the city. there is one piece which includes $230,000 to assist exiting organization to extend the level of service to include cleaning on weekends. while the overwhelming majority of the supplemental is for mon wall cleaning, it does pride for the purchase of -- provide for the purchase of state-of-the-art machines. and we have folks here that if needed can talk about those machines. if you're to think of these as vacuum cleaners, they're the best filter you can get. this suppleme

[applause] >> thank you, chief. you know, the movement by the kids has really been inspiring. my 13-year-old daughter at her middle school, public middle school here, her whole class, whole school participated. to see this next generation take the baton and show leadership in fighting against the scourge of guns is something that i am so proud to see. what i also find very interesting is having watched the kids from florida, they're insistent on not being coopted by politicians like myself and insistent on driving the movement themselves for the nation. i'm particularly focussed on this day, on the issue of do

we're all here because we understand that our city like our cities across the state of california, is undergoing a homelessness crisis. our streets and sidewalks are filled with people who are struggling with mental health challenge, drug addiction and poverty. this cannot be the status quo. it cannot be the new normal and it is not something we're going to accept here in san francisco. homelessness is a complex issue that requires a full gamut of solutions. we have to prevent people from losing their homes and we're doing such great work as a city, when you think about the move assistance programs, the eviction prevention programs and the grants we have that remove barriers to housing. we're doing that work here in san francisco. in the unfortunate circumstances where people do lose their homes, we have to pursue measures that are successful and proven here in the city of san francisco. such as our homeward bound and navigation centers, truly working to save the lives of people on the streets every day. these centers are a crucial part of the program in san francisco, compassion. but

no place in the city a city from mortar fire. the conflict began during the breakup of yugoslavia when bosnia-herzegovina declared independence bosnian serbs took up arms. the siege of sarajevo started in april ninety ninety two bosnian serbs and croats stopped being good neighbors and became enemies. and. he finished with this war but in the minds of the people the same problem still exists. my generation is back in the time they outlaw all to go up there ought to find to have contests or be out to young to go to the pension and to give up from our lives. i really understand people who say they don't want to stay here but i also admire people who want to stay here and who decided to create something this of verse that over a bit. i believe the younger people are really starting to be more active and to bring change. in divorce was their way of living under the shelves all artists still working during these forty years and it was real how do you resist as a serially and and as intel actual. satellite from festival begin the siege

we believe that the city has other ways of doing this. so those are some of the main elements of the first piece of legislation. we're also going to be drafting very shortly legislation to figure out how it is that we can allow for more, what we're calling and dubbing, adu infills in corner lots, areas that we think are perfect for adus and can solve for a lot of our housing challenges. secondly, i'm introducing a legislati legislati legislation that supports sex worker immunity. it would provide protections for sex workers that want to come forward and report a crime of violence perpetrated against them during the act of prostitution. and lastly, i did want to also -- apologize -- introduce a resolution declaring march national kidney month in san francisco. and we also want to thank city attorney who had helped us write this legislation that personally had some experiences with kidney transplants as well, but also wanted to send our in memoriams to the family of matthew wolfram. >> supervisor breed: can you read public comment? >> clerk

facilitated by city boss, abe ruth, ushering in the electric city car. the writing was on the wall. the clammer had begun for the experiment including public transit people. owned by the people and for the people. the idea of a consolidated city-owned transit system had begun traction. and in 1909, voters went to the polls and created a bond measure to create the people's railway. would become a reality three years later. on december 28, 1912, mayor sonny rolph introduced the new geary electric streetcar line and the new san francisco railway. that he said would be the nucleus that would host the city. and san francisco gave further incentive to expand the city's network. a project by way of tunnel leading into chinatown by way of north beach. in december the first streetcar was driven into the tunnel. just two years after its berth, muni had added two lines. and k, l and m lines that span out from westportal. in 1928, the j line opened heading west to the beach. in 1944 san francisco voters finally approved muni take-over of the market street railway. by then motor bus and trolley

city president. in so doing, one thing has become clear to me, a lively city friendship can only develop with the participation of the local population. therefore it is of great importance we're not only active in the areas of business and administration but we also enliven our new partnership with culture, sporting and scientific initiatives. >> school partnerships and cooperation between universities will be the subject of our call during the visit here. i look forward to an open exchange and experiencing the many facets of your beautiful city. ladies and gentlemen, the signing of the partnership agreement in kiel was a milestone in the relationship between our two cities. our visit now represents the next step. i'm sure there will be many more to follow. i would like to thank you for your attention and i look forward to the exchanges with you in the coming days and years. thank you vex. -- thank you, very much.

san francisco should always be a city of opportunity and city of hope for everyone. and when mayor lee started this program a number of years ago, this was exactly the intention. our unemployment rate in san francisco right now stands at 2.4%. [applause] which is amazing, but we have a choice as a city. do we rest on our laurells or press forward ahead to make sure that every resident has an opportunity to be part of our workforce and city? that's what this academy is all about. we take underprivileged individuals, people that need help getting into the workforce -- which by the way has to be one of the core functions of our city government -- we have to lift everybody up, make sure everybody feels the success of our city. that's what this academy is about. it is our city departments, thank you to all, i want to thank you to tom schafer hosting us here at glen eagles and being an integral part of this, to the labor unions led by 261, vince cortney, thank you very much.

to various needs of families across the city. and so our focus really is, like i said before, cross sector. it's child development, early learning, family support, child health. we just don't look at something because all of these things have connection to each other. in partnership with the other departments, this is not something we can do in isolation. in terms of our child development and early education work, we partner very closely with the department of early care and education. we ensure that all providers that are receiving city support through local subsidies or preschool for all are part of quality rating and improvement system. meaning every site gets visited and receives a rating. but our job is also to make sure that providers are able to meet those measures. so in terms of our early child education work, we do a lot of professional development and support to teachers across the city. and family childcare homes. so we've been able to see improvements across the board, not only in the efficacy of teaching strategies,

the city of st. francis will resonate loud and clear throughout the world, so i hope we will all come together and declare no animal fur in san francisco. it is not fashionable, it is an atrocity. thank you. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hi. my name is tiffany rose and on behalf of people for the ethical treatment of animals, more than 6.5 members worldwide, i urge you to pass supervisor tang's proposed ordinance banning the sale of real fur in the city. san francisco is forward seeking and full of people who care about animals and as mr. sheehy -- excuse me, is that correct? >> supervisor sheehy: yeah. >> stated, as stye full of people who take action for what is right. i was born here. i'm proof. 85% of the fur industry's skin come from animals who are kept in cramped, filthy wire cages on fur farms where they go insane from intense confinement and deprivation. these animals are killed by able electrocution many animals are alive when their skin is torn off. en anywhered

a sanctuary state, cities are able to speak up on behalf of voters. you will see mower and more actions in individual cities because we need to get our voices heard. we found this is own way to do this. brian: your reaction, sarah? >> we couldn't agree anymore that sanctuary cities are a dangerous thing. the president has been outspoken as the attorney general. when cities start picking and choosing laws they want to follow, that that is a dangerous thing and certainly outside of the jurisdiction the way our government was set up. it is outrageous to think that earn is cities and even states now are putting law enforcement officials at risk and in danger because they're refusing to follow the law. i just, it is beyond me how any city can just decide that there are laws they don't want to follow. brian: right. >> if conservatives did this, during the obama administration, people would have gone absolutely crazy yet they are celebrated in the democrat party for not following the law. it set as terrible standard and a really dangerous thing for young peo

city. sharon eventually moved in the tenderloin, and she switched gears, and she basically became a community grandmother to all of our filipino arab american, muslim american, latino families, and i saw a few weeks ago and visited her. ve she signed one of my forms, and she was in top form. she had just gotten out of the hospital, and she was sick. she knew there was not much time left, but she was still telling people what to do. which families needed which vegetables from the roof top garden that she tended. she continued to run so many events in the tenderloin neighborhood, making sure that all the organizers and families were in sync, building for stores in the tenderloin and converting them from liquor stores. i had actually called her fwo weeks ago because she was my first choice to be an honoree for black history month in february . i called her a few times, and she said you really need to honor the next generation. she's like, we've done our work. i'm hoping you can really honor so

it's a relic of how the city was visioned as a segregated city. i'm here to ask for more housing in the central soma plan, either in the central soma area itself or in the still segregated neighborhoods that we have in the city. for example, glen park, which is right near a bart station or the st. francis wood area within walking distance of the west portal station. both are accessible. i also want to bring up the current job-housing gap in this area is an amazon hq2 worth of jobs. we don't see cities like pittsburgh who are competing for the amazon hq2 plan not coming up with ideas about how they're going to house all of those workers. i, as a resident of san francisco, feel nervous about my future tenure in the city and my possible displacement from where i live. i would also ask all of you planning commissioners who are deciding on the fate of this project, it seems like we take the idea that we have a lot of transit in this city for granted, and a lot of the people who will be commuting into central soma, if we don't have a nice job-housing de

because it is a part of the city's soul. this created an inclusive neighborhood that probably includes more trees than people. the diamond heights safety wall is not marshble or granite or bronze. it is tree. specifically, it is redwood tree, as in 300, 400, 500-year-old residence wood trees. it's impervious to bugs and the like. it stands as tall as it did originally, and i absolutely agree with the board's concern that it be cared for, but it is a -- again, it's redwood, kind of caring for itself, but we also need to be sure that we will care for it. thank you. >> supervisor tang: thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> dear board members. my name is pat hendricks. i've lived in diamond heights condo association, a codonville oj for 35 years. please hear my comments today regarding the diamond heights safety wall. the diamond heights association is concerned about the future. safety wall and the immediate surrounding area. on november 11th, 2017, the front page of the san francisco chronic will featured the visit of
