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

so connect s.f. just a quick overview, again it's our multiagency process to build a transportation system for our future and it's rooted in these five goals. there are three phases. phase one, establish a transportation vision. phase 2 identified our transportation needs. and included two modal studies, the transit strategy and the streets and freeway strategy. now we're shifting into phase 3 where all the work comes together in the transportation plan and the continuation element of the -- transportation element of the general plan update. the streets and freeways study identified five strategies and outreach was conducted this past summer. the overview of the outreach findings focused on four primary questions around the strategy areas. so as i mentioned, outreach took place over the summer and included an online story map and survey and in-language town hall meetings. the project team provided these efforts across the city. in total, there were 671 responses to our survey. and they were completed

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

damage and there's really exciting development in the last several years with the passage of treat s.f. that was the city taking on responsibility of street tree related sidewalk damage. through that program, we have funded both internal craw that works for public works and private contractors in partnership with sirp and asap. lot of their work involves street tree related damage. we have contractor who's able to use technique called slicing. which is grinding. they are able to rapidly repair smaller uplifts and report back to us about if it needs a full repair or if they're able to fix it all with that slicing. which is very economical. we've been able to respond to 40,000 tree related tripping hazards. mostly using that methodology. then our contractor and public works crew have repaired half million square feet of sidewalks. which is a huge amount of area. the issues even bigger. we still have a lot left to do. supervisor melgar, you asked about the process from this. it can be hard to know where do these things go, what happens to this request. what we want to do is have a game pl

and s.f. state being near there are huge trip generators so i think you're on to something there. we'll look into it. it is really complicated. as i mentioned, there's the m.t.c. account and then there's the city contract for the station list. i think you're right. we should be smart enough to be able to figure this out and i look forward to trying to pull that one out. >> supervisor melgar: yeah. i think we should maybe even provide incentives to think about it that way. you know, so maybe the way we contracted towards folks. yes to the performance measures anded quotas and maybe we can think about this too. anyway. thank you. >> supervisor melgar: colleagues, any other questions or comments? >> supervisor peskin: i do have questions for the permittees who are present, but i'll defer to you and express supervisor preston before i ask them supervisor melgar supervisor preston, did you with any questions or comments here. >> supervisor melgar: no questions right now. thank you. supervisor peskin, the floor is yours. >> supervisor peskin: okay. so i think maybe if we can hear from a

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.

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'

and mental health s.f. and we'll be friending to this committee on the community of public health fiscal year 2021-22 budget and focused on providing services to people experiencing homelessness. next slide. as you can see on the slide in front of you, we're presenting an overview of the d.p.h. budgets for the current fiscal year. as you can further see, budgets for the different sections of the public health department are shown and over half are for programs that are based at zuckerberg san francisco general and within the unit that i have direction of behavioral health services. [please stand by] [please stand by] >> as this slide shows at a very high level, all areas of our health network serve people experiencing homelessness. listed in light blue are the specific programs which serve this population. these includes specific zuckerberg, san francisco general and primary care. integrated care, mental health sf, other prop c and targeted behavioral health services programs. with these programs we serve a

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

that my colleagues, like supervisors ronen and haney have been working on so hard with mental health s.f., and what other departments should have been doing all along with our city, our home oversight committee, and just implementing programs and measures that we know work, that will throw down to the court issue. most importantly, the answer that i have today confirmed my questions regarding the timing and the actual intent of this declaration. mostly, those questions were rhetorical for me, personally, because let's be frank. if this declaration was about protecting our most vulnerable, then where was the declaration of emergency when there was a significant rise of hate attack on our asian community, especially on our asian elders? were we not suffering enough, hurting enough, or valuable enough to protect our merchants? where was the protection when small businesses on geary street were vandalized four and five times in a row in less than six months. if this declaration is truly about tackling the fentanyl crisis, where was this declaration when we voted to urge the mayor to do so in

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
