in the city. again, i want to thank the p.u.c. for following through and meeting deadlines on these three reports. i want to highlight one important deadline coming up. december 31st as laid out in the resolution. they are to brent to the board and the public comprehensive plan for expanding the efws to all neighborhoods including financing plan. that is coming up. finally, one additional piece of work happened since the last hearing in january on this issue. budget and legislative analyst office did a supplemental report looking at financing options and how we can really finance and pay for this extremely important infrastructure and emergency preparedness project. today we want to have an update from the p.u.c. and the bla on the additional work they have done and allow for additional public comments. i know there are members of the public joining us to share their comments. >> thank you, supervisor mar. i did want to -- i mentioned 10 minutes per speaker our usual. we did have a request for a p

people of the city. we're next to the jacques-cartier bridge, we're by the st. lawrence river, we're between the port and the highway. it's kind of a bit of a ridiculous spot, but it works. just last year, we had 120,000 people come in four months. people need spaces like this. you see so many people move to the suburbs these days and try to find a safe haven or some peace. we've kind of wedged it in and tried to make something happen where people maybe wouldn't have thought it was possible. - this odd and interesting place is called le village au pied-du-courant, which roughly translates as the village by the river. the non-profit behind it and behind many public space initiatives throughout the city is la pépinière, "the nursery". it's an urban lab focused on innovation, creativity and community engagement to redraw and rethink unused urban spaces. violaine is the project manager for this very successful project. we're on a snow dump here, so... wait! what? sorry. you're on a snow dump? yes. what's a

the cities making in the fight that i'm having with the city continues. and i told them what you and i have talked about before. like if you tell us where the baby is, they'll drop the lawsuit today. that's what this is all about to. we're trying to find out. they don't believe us. you think it's about money, it's time it's about to search for truth. one of the issues with the city here katrina is. if we establish here that they don't know, there are other cases like yours that are out there are pending and they don't want to make their law. they don't want to make their precedent. so the further they could push us back and slow us down both ladder, that is things bad, things will happen to the city. so they're part of their delay is to not but this case come to trial because there are other cases that are going to fall shortly behind. and i, i feel that the really in doing much because all they thinking is about the money. and honestly, like i said, i love doing this for money. i want my son back there say ah, what we know right now from, from the record

and during such time as i serve as the city attorney. >> the city attorney. >> for the city and county of san francisco. >> the city and county of san francisco. >> congratulations. (applause) >> i am so humbled by this moment. this is overwhelming. and with all of the amazing things that have been said, i almost feel like i should shut up and just sit down. let me start with some profound thanks. first of all, i want to thank mayor breed. i want to thank you not just for this incredible opportunity, but for your leadership during these incredibly difficult times. (applause) i am looking forward to working with you with every single member of the san francisco board of supervisors in an attorney/client privilege way. with all of the elected officials here, the judges here, the over 100 city departments and agencies and commissions to move our great city forward. i of course want to salute my predecessor, our outgoing city attorney. (applause) for 20 years as has been said, you have built the gold standard for what a premier public law office means in this country. you have done it with

covering the city as well. the singapore in government avoided talk, loyal it's coveted, platinum, a green mark, the nation's highest environmental city location is part of a white, a scheme to promote environmentally friendly buildings and investment into green city solutions. to understand more about why the city is the greenest in asia, i want to see what's happening at the grass roots. heard about a non profit trust and providing environment and supporting accruing to community come to be the funder like hawk. welcome, and i came here trying to get people to go back to basic. and i thought as a result that we've been is asia and globalization and digitalization that you can disconnect. so i was trying to create, using a space to connect back peeper and to bring better spirit a community. and it's very strange for a country like things well with us where so top down. and that's why my name is called ground up in a shaky ground up initiative. started in 2009 and secured a piece of land to provide environmenta

this is about the whole city, the many city departments and the community coming together to help with education and helping people understand and abide by our health orders. helping seniors get to medical appointments and reaching our most vulnerable who are unhouseded. we have so much to be proud of and the challenges ahead. i am confident we will meet them together. thank you for your dedication and partnership with the city. let's keep it going and let's get our boosters. all right. so we are now going to recognize our vaccine heroes and i will read the name of the recipient and the mayor will present. correct? okay. bay point advocates. bayview. we're doing a photograph with each one and then a group. correct? >> i didn't even know i was supposed to speak. i'm honored to receive this award. representing the folks in bayview hunter's point. through the pandemic, it has been such a life lesson learning and just an experience because i experience and got covid myself. so that was just, you know, an eye opener for me just one of those things. i'm in the community. when it came down to

rest of the city. thank you, supervisor -- >> president walton: thank you. supervisor melgar? i don't -- i'm not worried about that part, but i do worry about our discourse in terms of private fill anthropy because i am leading this effort with supervisor ronen to raise a bunch of money for community schools and other things that we try to raise money for, and i think that the private sector can have a role in things. thank you. >> president walton: thank you, supervisor melgar. supervisor preston? >> supervisor preston: thank you, president walton, and thank you, colleagues. i just wanted to comment on the comments of my colleagues. i don't think that questioning this bloomberg creation of an office funded by bloomberg on the heels of endorsement, like, that raises a whole different level of concern. i didn't hear from miss kitler a statement saying she's not in the room and a party to endorsements. fair enough. i think that the mayor's office can come forward so soon after endorsements with a big chu

parts of the city. so if you move one example we give is in new york which is on the opposite coast is your folks will know intimately, you can go 12 minutes by subway and use 12 years by life expectancy. and just to give you a sense of whatthat means , smoking rates, smoking cuts about 10 years off your life expectancy is the equivalent of taking the subway ride and going from a place where everyone smokes to a place where nobody smokes. and even then there's not a whole lot. so it's just this huge disparity and you say to use the analogy which is perfect on the escalator. you say how can you have an escalator if in one part of the city you have people who are rich and wonderful and fulfilling lives. the other part of the city it's a struggle to live as long as people in low and middle income countries. that's just not working for everybody. so you have to find a way to make this work for everybody or people are going to get really frustrated and that is not a recipe forthings going well . >> we have o

the city. i can give you the article of commission president mr. murphy, and now years after the settlement, the permit issues remain unresolved. you would think that a former commission president who got sued by the city attorney would be held to the highest standard. i would like to understand this beyond mr. santos -- i don't want to prejudice the matter, but he seems to be in some sort of significant trouble with the united states of america. it would be nice if we could clean our own dirty laundry without the f.b.i. having to do it, and d.b.i. seems to be where the rubber hits the road. thank you, madam chair. >> chair melgar: supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: mr. duffy, i think you have a short presentation? >> good afternoon, supervisors. i'm joe duffy, senior inspector at d.b.i. today, i'm here to provide a report on the expanded compliance control ordinance. next slide. this codified and strengthened d.b.i.s expanded quality control program, which we've had in place since 2018. it

[inaudible] the state and the city the state of emergency in the city. >> we really want to get that vaccine approved for them right, dr. baba. do you have someone under 12 at home? you're asking for others. >> for others. >> i'm still going to get asked by potential students what's step one and step two how to go about. >> i hope you'll correct me if i'm wrong. we have things set up all across the city. we'll do that annually and run that against our add missions records. one of those schools have their tuition covered for eight consecutive terms. >> do you mean physical or online? >> the physical site. we're going to send them out. >> thank you. >> placed across the city. >> i'm from the san francisco examiner. we know people from all walks of life and also the age group between 25 to 34 is really the lowest vaccinated age group right now. so can you talk about why this is specifically for the age group that it was and kind of what your thoughts are with kind of getting that younger adult age group vaccinated too. >> we're focused on this group because they are so far our largest i

so sono live through the famine in the country's and the city and is in this social panic in the city and has a lot of trouble finding work and ultimately has to leave but i think that it was really interesting to think about the social life of the cities and then to be hit with the pandemic in which many of the same issues came up for different reasons. for example, when people werewh talking about hair dressing which came at major issue in a pandemic, is a frivolous to get your haircut is it it essential or something you really need to be doing made me think of the fact that hair dressing was also really central cute bar that is privileged for people to go to the hair and obviously is an kind of a concern over sanitation a big part of this world concern and it was really kind of chillingce to watch the cities be completely shut down but on the other hand the gorilla hope because of course edo recovered it from the reform and the big earthquake that followed and the arrival and opening of the season recovered from losing aphids population and cities are really r resiliet is one of th

in the early part of the 19th century who runs off to the big city, the predecessor city to today's tokyo. this is the tale of migration, the lure of the city, aspiration, the constraint on women's lives and the indefinable force of personality. in this year and a half of tragedy, the immersion that this book offers in a different world is iconic. it won the 202110 prize for biography and the 2021 national book critics circle award for biography and it was a finalist for the pulitzer and for britain's most prestigious nonfiction prize, the daily gifford. amy and i will talk for about t20, 25 minutes and then open p for questions. so, can we start by talking about what your first encounter was? >> i would like to say that i met in some place in the country in some archive but the truth is that i met her on the internet. i was in my office at northwestern where i was at the time an assistant professor planningng my first class on the history of modern japan between 1668 and that is my favorite subject and what i specialize in. i was looking around for documents about everyday life in

the city. they don't often know how. and i think we're lucky at this moment coming out of this pandemic we have all these new groups. so, today, this event was organized by together sf which is a new organization helping to get people informed and engaged in their communities. . we have vince young who's helping us lend a hand and so, together, we can refuse refuge. and then, of course, we also have shine on sf all of them figuring out how we can work together and i really want to say thank you to the mayor for bringing this together. the private resources. we have public works who's out there every day cleaning up we have all the private resources coming together. and this is i think the first of many events that are going to be about cleaning up this city and bringing those public and private resources together. today's obviously about cleaning. we're going to be picking up litterment i want to make two points. this is really about bringing that neighborhood pride. so bepaired you with a clea

in the city. i uncovered i have to say harrowing memoirs, letters and diaries of the women who suffered enormously when the army came in to berlin, the soldiers were literally drunk on victory and they were drunk and came through and they raped and abused many of the women in berlin. it was very important and a difficult story to tell and a difficult story to read. but it was very important to tell it because it was part of the story that women of berlin would live with this for decades "afterwards". it also explains partly why the women in berlin were so desperate for the americans and british and later the french as well. desperate for them to arrive to bring some sense of order because it's not only a city in ruins, it's a city without any government at all. without electricity or gas or water without anyone, anything. the americans in the city bringing in 25000 troops each, they are coming in to a place of total anarchy. it's important for people to realize just how trashed the city was at the

to the city. if the controller has additional information, i would absolutely welcome them to weigh in. >> good afternoon. i do not and i'm happy to confirm that and i can get back to the committee. >> ok. thank you for just confirming. that was comparable to the settlement agreement that was reached back in april. even though our -- the rate structure for our city contract with recology is based on the commercial rates. so i don't know if that is something that we hadn't looked into, whether how much we would -- the city was being overcharged. given that the commercial rates were, you know, recology was overcharging commercial customers. any idea how much that might be worth? >> we're happy to work with any overages on this contract. >> i was going to say that we would work with o.c.a. >> ok. great. thank you. would appreciate that work and would love to see what you come up with. thank you. thank you, chair haney. >> thank you for the question. let's go to public comment, please. >> that, chair

the american and british and french are stuck inside the city and they have no access to the city because the road and rail links across occupied germany have been cut. so the only possible way of keeping the city alive, and it's 2.5 million inhabitants, is by air. can this be done? almost everyone said it's impossible. but, you know, i like to think in times of crisis, it's always good to call a true -- they have this chap called reginald wait, a brilliant mathematician. he never leaves his slide role. he sits down and works out what is actually feasible, and whether it is feasible, possible, to feed them by air. he goes to the military official howley, and says, this is going to involve using six airfields in western germany, occupied by the americans and brits. and to air fields in the west sector of germany, and this will be the most extraordinary event in the history of aviation. this will require planes landing, flying in at five levels, into the city, planes landing at every part of the two air fields in the western sector of berlin, to keep the city alive. and he has been -- regin

place for the city was built. >> this was the city built it was a perfect storm, it was a city built of wood in place experiencing incredible drought. >> and understaffed fire department and beaten down in the night before, something called saturday night fire that they fought for like 16 hours and one third of them already too small fire department was basically out of commission and so was a lot of their equipment. then less than six or hours later comes the one for the "chicago's great fire" and that alarmed basically for various reasons we don't understand, came a half-hour late so the fires going the time we get to the scene. >> basically they had a guard wandering the top like looking out like someplace like the city hall, it seems prehistoric but look there may be a fire over there, what is that over there. >> it had too few people into little equipment and there were one or 95 fighters of the city of 3,130,000 people but they had a state-of-the-art as it were, equipment and steam equipment and they also had a telegraph alarm system, it just did not work at night. someone thre

the east bay into the city right now. we've got high winds. we had an earlier traffic hasn't really started the slowing down process for us. there. so what you do reach the maze will take you a little under 23 minutes to head into the city this morning heading across towards the peninsula. we're starting to pick up their little under 18 minute. now, remember, we saw some moisture early in the morning this morning. so roadways are still pretty slick. there's also fall along the golden gate bridge. as you're traveling from the north bay will take you a little under 25 and we'll leave you with a look at the south bay to 37 want to want to menlo park. 33 minutes. 5.82 no major issues starting james, back to you. thanks a lot right. 7.

it's a city that is growing like every city in the 19th century. new york more than think -- more than any other. so the city is growing. it needs roads, it needs buildings, it needs a lot of stuff. that's true. but how the stuff was built was how tweed enriched himself. so he's dealing with other people's money, borrowed funds. how does he make himself rich? does he simply stick it in his pocket and kind of straight embezzlement? that would be a little too easy and a little too easy to get caught at. his typical method was simply to add -- excuse me, to pad building contracts. so say, say a building, you know, you talk to the contractor and the building would cost maybe $10,000 this 1870 dollars to build. okay, so tweed says give me a bill for $20,000, and you'll get your $10,000, you know, what you expect, and then me and my buddies will guide the other $10,000 among ourselves. he could -- and with this arrangement, he could pretty much divide the extra funds between the big four and then a couple of accountants. gotta keep track of this, and you

with the city attorney. you notice that the contract term is shorter. it's june 30, 2025 -- 23. and in that time, what we're going to be working on with the city attorney, over time, as board and care homes have grown, we want to identify if there are any vendors who at this point in time can't stand on their own and have sufficient infrastructure and resources to become a city vendor. if that's the case, they'll be pulled out to be standalone city vendors. we're working -- each vendor has a memorandum of agreement created by h.r.360. so we're working on that too, to strengthen and make sure it meets all the city requirements. i'm happy to answer questions. i have my colleague here as well to help. >> chair haney: first, is there a b.l.a. report on the item? >> yes, chair haney. we do have a report. nick menard from the budget legislative office. we're reporting on the amended resolution that the department is providing which would retroactively approve the first amendment to the fiscal intermediary check-wr

side of the city . so i really want to support this. and lastly i just as someone who is latino and hispanic i find it quite ironic that there's so many homeowners primarily white and wealthy who are so concerned about gentrification and are so concerned with supporting and uplifting bipoc communities but at the same time are stoutly against any construction of housing in the city that makes no sense to me. so again, as someone who want tocontinue living here i support both of these proposals and i hope the commission supports them as well . >> caller: my name is gloria and i'm executive director of community action and obviously i'm going to speak in favor of this legislation. i think it's good we're thinking about local solutions in addition and partially because the state is led by san francisco legislators who are demanding that san francisco and every community across the state get more serious about our need for more housing. and while i appreciate the urge to do things in a particular san francis

such as the hypertension equity group. the city-wide pack. and the subcommittee for the covid vaccine outreach. i thank god for my health and strength for allowing me to serve on these different committees. now that the clinic is remodeled, what i like most about the clinic is that it is very up-to-date, and thank god that we have an elevator. [laughter]. [applause] for the seniors and the disabled. and we have large exam rooms. something we have needed for years. i know all of our patients will really appreciate this. i want -- i personally want to thank the entire staff of maxine hall and the porters and for all of the hard work and dedication that y'all have done -- have shown during this pandemic. i know that it wasn't easy, but god gave y'all -- each and every one of y'all -- the strength. i know that it was stressful, but you did it. thank you for all that you do. god bless each and every one of you. and thank you.

the city is as city planning described a bunch of pieces of property along state road 84 and the interstate i680 . a total of 21 parcels ranging in size from 400 square feet. the largest oneis just under three acres . after parcels are being conveyed in the four road widening. the remainder are easement interests to be conveyed for various uses of a retaining wall, easements for pg and the . couple of access easements. but that's all i care to add. because that was a very thorough introduction. anyquestions ? >> chair: do we have to evian a permit on this item? >> clerk: we don't have one on thisitem . >> chair: the reading of the title says all that needs to be said . is there any publiccomments on this item ? >> operations ischecking to see if there are any callers in the queue . members who wish to provide comment please press star 3. wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted. mister atkins. >> clerk: there are no colors in the queue. >> publiccomment is closed. any questions or comments ? not seeing any. we will item 5 to the whole boardwith a positive recommendation . can w
