thank you, chair melgar. >> supervisor melgar: with that, madam clerk, please go to public comment. >> we are checking for callers. press star 3 to be added the queue to speak. for those on hold continue to wait until the system indicates you are unmuted. we have 12 listeners with seven in the queue. first caller, please. >> greetings. don mcgrain. i would like to express how i wanted to live in the san francisco bay area. i was sworn in the marine corps. after the pandemic i lost housing. i lost security deposit on our house. we have a couch surf sleep anything the car. i turned to va for help. i didn't have much options. i had to resort to non-profit to get housed in mission inn which wasn't a great place for my family. if you were a veteran and maybe that would be a good place but not for young kids. through jenna at 401 third street on the va she came through after staying three months at the mission inn which was not appropriate we got down to some housing in men io park. we had to get out of san francisco to get housing. too much police activity and drugs and crime. we are waiti

chair melgar, i think i'll kind of leave it at that for my questions for now. >> chair melgar: okay. thank you so much, supervisor mar. supervisor preston or supervisor peskin, do you have any questions? >> supervisor preston: i do, chair melgar. supervisor mar, thank you so much for your presentation on this and your health care workers report. i will admit to a little bit of frustration at the lack of media interest in your work and that planning is working on this report. it is a very strange upside down media landscape when a quick google search reveals 19 separate articles on a housing project on stevenson street while zero addresses the issues that we are addressing today. but that said, i do have a couple of questions about the report that was presented, and through the chair, thank you for your work on this. i was curious why all the various income levels, 120 and up, are put in that one category -- well, let's just start on that. i'm curious why it's reported in that way. >> it was: admin code asked us to report by the four rhna categories, and that's what we did, and everyt

>> supervisor melgar: yes. i appreciate all those answers and i would just make the plug for signage particularly in the places where we know a lot of folks are using these devices for the first time for fun to look at our beautiful city mainly in supervisor peskin's district, but also in district 6 along the embarcadero, that's where i see by far the more. and your data underscores that well, so maybe we can just pilot a couple signs, you know, for another ferry building, pier 29, just where we know lots of folks are starting or ending the trip so people can have some guidance as to what's allowed and what the rules are. >> okay. great. thank you. i made notes. so i'm not sure if there are other questions on scooter share or should we go to my colleague adrian on bike share now? >> supervisor peskin: before we go there, madam chair, just so that you know, colleagues, i didn't just call for this hearing. i've been talking as ms. torren said to the m.t.a. for quite some time and these initiatives that have been

supervisor melgar. >> thank you. i am looking forward to the continuing the hearing and hearing from folks in the central kitchen. the school district outsourced food production to a private company. no reason we outsource to the vocational school, the city college or any of the many community resources that we have that are producing fresh and culturally responsive food. just an idea. we could do things in a different way and leverage the assets of the community. my question was about what supervisor safai has touched on earlier which is opening up high school campuses. i know that that option is there. it is very expensive because partners using school district real estate on weekends have to pay and it costs quite a bit. that is a policy issue the school district has made and i am wondering if there is any way to revisit that policy for a community organization or teams or folks who are providing community resources for moving and getting the kids out and engaging in activities that are good. >> i would say that,
