i am with the s.f. gray panthers. we demand the sfgov board of supervisors reject the mayor's proposal'. this emergency declaration is not about public safety and overdose deaths if it reflects the mayor's public statements, relies on police discretion, and results in strict enforcement of laws related to homelessness. this plan appears to be an attempt to maintain property values. this allows the mayor to shift without accountability huge amounts of money to police overtime. >> clerk: thank you, sir, for your comments. we have 128 listeners, and we have 70 individuals who are currently in the queue. if you're one of the 28, and you would like to make comment this evening, make sure you press star, three at the right time. all right. next caller, please. >> my name is erica clarke, and i'm a long time resident of san francisco in d-4. i'm a recess of over 50 years. i align myself with the prior speakers opposing this emergency measure of mayor breed's. i also align myself with the supervisors who question this issue.

is up and running, when we do everything we say we're going to do around mental health s.f. in fact, street crisis response should be responding 24-7 right now, but i do agree with you, the police department is too strapped to respond to certain situations, and police officers should not be put in certain situations because there are people with the expertise to respond differently, and we need to make sure we understand when we have an adequate response. the people with the expertise are on this plan. director carroll, can you tell us which providers support this plan? >> so we're working with d.p.h., who's working with the providers. adrian, are you able to answer more specifically some of the folks that will be providing services. this is adrian dekelly, and she's the closest pulling the plan together. >> sure. good evening, honorable members of the board. right now, we are working with department of public health, homelessness, and supportive housing. our intention is to utilize the full community provider network that we already have on contract. as you know, we're tryi

and the set of amendments will initially limit the fee waivers and discounts to vets who are s.f. residents upon the effective date. the amendments also expand the discounts to all vets upon certification of adequate funds by the controller. colleagues, i thank you for your support and ask for your support on this today. i would like to move that we accept the amendments. >> president walton: thank you, supervisor mar. do we have a second? seconded by supervisor ronen. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you, president walton. i want to thank supervisor mar for this extremely important legislation and i know how deeply you care about veterans. so thank you so much for this. i think that discount for veterans is an excellent idea and i was proud to co-sponsor and i think we should even look to expanding to other areas in the city as well, because our veterans deserve that and more. i do support the amendments and agree that the board of supervisors should fund this program if it is our desire to make it permanent, and at the moment we don't know a lot about what the fu

the s.f. sidewalk search party came out of frustration for spending more time walking to work. >> chair melgar: hold on a second, jennifer. madam clerk please advance the slides. >> the s.f. sidewalk engage residents to search for sidewalks. for example, we've met with the sfmta, public works, and bureau of urban forestry and staff. we created a contest called broken sidewalks, contestants took photos of sidewalks and included a rubber duck to highlight the problem area. we worked with the bureau urban forestry to get sidewalks with two inch ride down. we started a video project called the sidewalk search party newscast. we asked residents to make a one minute video to be part of the show. i use a wheelchair. many people without disabilities have had similar experiences. here are some examples how people get injured on san francisco's sidewalks. i rounded the corner on to a side street and felt my foot hit the concrete before i went flying forward. i looked at the sidewalk, large blocks of con

we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter] >> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san

i'm with the s.f. standard, trying to drill down a little bit deeper into thrash metal specifically. i was wondering if you could, without making everybody's eyes glaze over, or maybe not, but why this area was so fundamental. you could come over here and see one of your shows, and then go across the bay and capture a g.b.h. show. why was there such a convergence of metal and punk in the area? >> it has to start with musical freedoms, and a license to be yourself, and a license to explore the things that turn you on without forfeiting who you are trying to fit in. so i think up here, i think everyone felt they were free enough to pursue their true calling. so if you want to get more technical about it, then obviously, you know, thrash metal was obviously a hybrid of the more extreme, the motorheads, and the british new wave metals, the iron maiden and the g.b.h. and all the punk bands that would come up from l.a. okay. l.a., the sunset strip, you're supposed to look like this, you're supposed to act li

thank you to the s.f. parent coalition for rising up and doing what's necessary to not only support your children but to support all children in san francisco, and thank you to katie albright for being with us today from safe and sound. we have a sector of people who truly love and support kids in san francisco, and i'm very positionate about supporting kids because i was probably one of the most problematic kids growing up. again, had it not been for the support of those places that i had to go as a kid, and teachers and all those things that i was exposed to, i just don't know where i would be. the people that i grew up with ended up, unfortunately, in many instances, in the criminal justice system, they ended up dead, and they ended up on drugs, and i still see some of those people today in various places, and somewhere along the way, we failed them. if we don't do this and more to support our children, to protect them, to uplift them, to make sure that we get rid of the barriers to their success, that'

has really taken that role to a whole other level and is currently a grand marshal for this year's s.f. prize. so congratulations, claire. >> my dream is to really look at where we want san francisco to be in the future. how can we have a place where we have transliberation, quality, and inclusion, and equity across san francisco? and so when i look five years from now, ten years from now, i want us to make sure that we're continuing to lead the country in being the best that we can be. not only are we working to make sure we have jobs and equal opportunity and pathways to education, employment, and advancement, but we're making sure we're taking care of our most impacted communities, our trans communities of color, trans women of color, and black trans women. and we're making sure we're addressing the barriers of the access to health care and mental health services and we're supporting our seniors who've done the work and really be able to age in place and have access to the services and resources they deserve. so there's so much more work to do, but we're really proud of the work tha

we had discussions about contracting with s.f. homeownership if they go through that route. there's lot of discussions internally with mayor's office of housing about the process of complying with on site. they were staffed up to do that. unfortunately, the way this is played out, obviously not good optics. it's kind of the messy part of trying to comply with a complicated statute. would add, was to give them more flexibility. there was no attempt to try game the system or anything like that. >> commissioner imperial: thank you for your answers. my question is to the planning staff and the mohcd. is there a time frame where -- can they do the switching? i understand that the developer has the right for which alternative they can take. the time frame of this switching from on site to off site, for me, there's a lot of it happening. people are expected to be housed or interviewed. does mohcd have that to switch? >> the approval time line is pretty far. the planning code as it stands today, the market rate units have to be marketed and leased or sold at the same time. there's a

being able to see myself in -- i see s.f. residents say 100% affordable housing, that's not attainable in today's landscape. wherever possible, there would be ways to reduce the number of units even though 100% it's technically affordable housing. take the compromise by one particular supervisor. i especially care about affordable housing. this can help with affordable housing homes. this project will help including affordable homes, and parking spaces, which people like. bike parking spaces which is great. and then these homes are places i can move in and not displace someone else that used to represent how it was when i grew up. over long term, this can filter to other groups long-term, assuming we're having them built across s.f. i support this project. moreover, i hope you're all having a good day and happy holidays. >> hello, my name is christopher roach. i'm principal of studio r architecture in in san francisco. i'm also the chair of the housing action coalition housing review committee. we reviewed this project earlie

that details the actual uses of the property, including how the proposed uses address mental health s.f. requirements. and the total cost of developing and operating this property and how all those costs are going to be funded. and then number two, provide the updated bed optimization report and how the department plans to, you know, purpose those beds and make them available. i think that we kind of detailed the discussion about the most recent bed optimization report in the report and i'm happy to answer any other questions. >> chair haney: thank you. i have a number of questions, but why don't i turn it over, first, to supervisor mar, who looks like he's on the queue. >> supervisor mar: thanks, chair haney. and thank you director and mr. patting for the presentations on this important public health facility acquisition. i'm very supportive of the crisis diversion program and the safe consumption site and the department's efforts to create, you know -- to create these important programs especially in this area that is one of the most heavily impacted. i just have a question about the
