i want to acknowledge what a shift this is what this day represents for us as a city as a health department and a clinic especially a clinic two clinics that came together to become one. two clinics that were flagship clinics to provide high quality care and advocacy for our vulnerable residents. we've been innovator long before some of you saw early today in pushing the boundaries and setting higher standards of care for those who have long been overlooked and now we have thanks to the commitment of so many people a beautiful place to symbolize that commitment and the district and respected for the patient we serve. i want to thank all the people and i will do so throughout the program and especially i want to put our patients and a clients front and center. i want to thank you for being with us and entruce us with your health care it's been exciting to meet you and to hear how excited you are this we've got this space speaker i want to say within the health clinic this has become the urgent health services a very, very long time even before the homeless program and it continues to take ca

someone tweeted, yeah, a thousand pounds off your shoulders and on to us as a city. he's making headlines across the world. >> robin, is it necessarily a terrible thing or does it make him seem like a character who has now come clean. many celebrities come clean about this kind of thing, do rehab and bounce back more successful than ever. any reason just because he's a politician he couldn't follow that path? >> you really have to remember for the last six months, the mayor has been on a rampage. he's been demonizing the media. he's used very divisive language that's really fractured the city since he's been mayor. his friends and associates have been arrested on various charges. they've been trying to retain this video. there's a shooting that is somehow caught in this. there's a massive police investigation. his brother called for the chief of police to resign earlier this morning or lying or being biased. this isn't someone saying i got caught doing something wrong, this is someone lying about it and attacking everyone for six months. so that's why the city is rea

yeah a thousand pounds off your shoulders to us as a city. we're well aware he's making headlines all over the world and not just in news shows. in comedy shows as well. >> robin, is it necessarily a terrible thing? or does it just make him seem a bit of a character who at least now has finally come clean. many celebrities, you know, come clean about this kind of thing, do a bit of rehab and bounce back stronger and more successful than ever. is there any reason why just because he's a politician he couldn't follow that path? >> you really have to remember that for the last six months, the mayor has been on a rampage calling especially my newspaper the toronto star which has been reporting on his substance issues for much of the year that we're pathological liars, that we're maggots. he's used very divisive language that's fractured the city. his friends and associates have been arrested on ferris charges. they've been trying to retain this video after we first reported on it. there's a shooting that is somehow caught in on this. there's a ma

if they win this area, they can use it as a base, which is strategic. the second-largest city in mozambique. people are saying that they are aware, they are concerned about vote rigging. they say once the vote ends. they plan to stay at the polling

, for we as a city to have a collective and united front as we tackle this crisis. but i want to talk briefly about some of the things that we have done. i am proud to have been following a strategy that looks at not only what we can do in sacramento but also what we can do here in san francisco. in sacramento i am proud that i have been working with assembly member tom ammiano, who has been a leader in terms of tenant protections, for so many years. we're working on legislation that would give san francisco the authority, the power, to place a moratorium on ellis act evictions in times of crisis such as the one we are facing (applause) at the ll level i am working on a number of pieces of legislation, including the first piece of legislation that i introduced a few days back, that will create a mechanism at the rent board for tenants to file a complaint if they believe that their land lord is attempting to circumvent one of the 15 just causes for evictions through harassment of the tenant. the second piece of legislation is a piece of legislation that i have asked

and it served as a prototype for many american cities, including pittsburgh and new york. man: new york city went to philadelphia and said, "you know, we're thinking of developing a hudson river water supply -- what do you suggest we do?" and they said, "we've had "a lot of problems on the schuylkill. "don't go to the hudson river. go to the upland and work by gravity." and that's what new york city did. they first went to the hudson highlands, but 150 years later, it went to the delaware highlands. and really diverted the water that normally went to philadelphia to new york city. i don't think they anticipated that. narrator: the majority of new york city's drinking water comes from watersheds in upstate new york. a watershed is the area of land where water from rain or snow melt drains downhill into a body of water. mountains act as a funnel to feed rivers and lakes. and in this case, reservoirs. in the new york city system, water is collected and stored in 19 reservoirs, which can hold more than a year's supply -- over 580 billion gallons of water. almost all of the sys

subsequently used by the city as a purchasing department, and in, 1988, the city received notice that the san francisco sbca would not continue to provide the contract for services animal control service and so, they converted that building, and about a year, year and a half time, to an animal shelter, which i don't know how they did it as fast as they did, still not an ideal space for it. and given what we know now, about animal care and the needs, both behaviorally and medically of animals and we could, definitely use, the significantly more space, of course, from a human resources, perspective we could use more space as well, some of our managers do not have private offices even to have the conversations with the employees, we definitely don't have enough storage space for disaster supplies and other things like that. and not enough space to even park all of our vehicles. and so we are definitely challenged by the space that we have. for the animals for the people and for the equipment. so, you know, when we talk about wanting to increase space, and we are really not talking about

you have given us, nelson and to the city as well. so i wanted to just take a moment to thank you for your service, and if i may, president woo ho, would love to present you as a commendation, would you come forward nelson? [ applause ] >> well, first of all, i guess that i want to... to all of you, and since 1982, the water front is to look pretty but now it looks most, most pretty. and happy to see the changes that we have. and i know a great respect for the executive port director and commissioner brandon and is nice and that made me and made me motivate me more to stay here but i would think about to stay here a little bit longer, but i love my job, i love it. but, now, family is priority. so as i decided to retire at this time. 31 years, was half of my life. most of. but i really love working here. and a nice supervisors. and our financial director, so nice, and it is nice to be with the employees, the port employees are family, and the most activity that we have, and we have fun. it was professional working with the port. and i

we do have a crash involving a car there on the northbound side bogging down both directions as you head between redwood city and menlo park there. 280, a much clearer route along the peninsula. use that if you can. look at that 84 getting crowded as folks try to take that option and they head west through the city. we are looking toward the south bay where we have a pretty predictable build for 87, 85 and 101. 101 is going to get a lot slower now that there is a crash at mckee. i've swung our camara around. it is in position to take the build. we see traffic is clustering up on the right side of your screen as you approach the exit. moving better than a couple of minutes ago. they may have made progress. we will check on that. back to our maps. a smooth flow of traffic down the east shore or east bay. we are showing a slower drive getting out of san leandro. the approach to the bay bridge, no surprises. the upper east shore, we do have a crash that happened earlier. it has some cars and chp vehicles on the shoulder. additional slowing. highway 4 heading west, back over to sunol. >>> you

as someone who used to run a small business, the city can do a much better job of nurturing that sector. that is part of the life blood of who we are as san franciscans. >> we could do better. are we on the right track? >> i think we are in a transition right now. we have an interim mayor and a new board of supervisors. i do think we have a new tone at city hall to move things forward. we have a lot of challenges we are facing. i am doing everything i can to put us back on track. >> let's talk about the role of sports in the city's economic future. are you happy with the plans for the america's cup? >> i have been a huge fan of the america's cup. i am proud of this board came together unanimously after a fairly contentious debate to support bringing the america's cup to san francisco in 2013. it is estimated it will not only be an incredible sporting event, not only showcase our city and the natural amphitheater of the bay, but it is estimated to bring in over $1 billion in economic activity with 8000 to 9000 jobs. it will be a lot of fun. i am very excited. >> should we spend money to

i did want to say that as a number of us visited mexico city and one of the things that the mayor said, if the mayor and city don't get behind a rapid network in a city, how does it happen? you can't do a peace meal. we approach the van ness strongly, but we have to extend the rapid network to other parts of the city. that's what they're been looking for, so for the mayor's task force to put little priority of our city's network, that troubles me. it's not looking at the context of the planning of the transportation in the city and it does seem to show a bias of downtown and connecting with neighborhoods in my opinion. i wanted to go to slide 26, page 13 as some numbers have changed since the july numbers and i know the resurfacing item has gone up significantly because you were trying to increase, is it pci pavement and condition index significantly, but that has gone up almost $200 million and i know that's necessary accident you i did reference he pass the streets and road repaving bond about two years ago and i'm wondering of the planning. why is that going up so much and maybe the

i am blaipbd and i had a neighbor offer me $400 to use my placard when he drove into the city. it's seen as a way to get free parking. >> making accessible parking work. >> i have cerebral parking, kaupbs quepbltly -- consequently i use a wheelchair. >> we'll give that just a moment to see if we can get through the technical difficulties and if not we can switch over to the rest of our program. oblg, well why don't we move on to the rest of the program, then. >> back to the regular scheduling. control room, could i ask you please to bring up a powerpoint presentation for us? so we are here today to tell you a little bit about the committee work and the way that we're going to frame that discussion is first we'll describe the problem that the committee sought to address. then we'll give you some information about the process that the committee followed. following that, we'll share with you the actual recommendations that came from the committee, we'll tell you about some of the public outreach that we've done and then after that we'll discuss next steps. first, the problem. on t

add value and i hope as a past city commissioner can provide value to this committee. i want to use what i leonard in the airport committee to help inform the group. secondly as a gay latino harvey milk's has been a hero not only to the lgbt community but ass an inspiration to all folks. there's a special interest i know we all have in understanding the way to honor the past specify. and as a former airport employee at the sf 0 you can't have a great city without a great airport. we have a great city that what protect the reputation but to enhance our cities standing and a recognition as a leader internationally when it comes to human rights if you have any questions, i'll be happy to answer them >> any questions? seeing none. thank you very much. next speaker >> hello supervisors and good afternoon. i'm maggie. thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to present to you this afternoon in consideration of having me on this committee. i'm you currently an employee i work in the film office. any time folks come to town to get permits thaim i'm their person. i'm enr

as far as we were concerned, that was a good thing because it enabled us to move into market street. the city had encouraged us to do so, too, as they were very much interested in revitalizing market, 6th and market, which is essentially part of the tenderloin. we thought there were a lot of opportunities there. we know something about making urban environments vital. given the present political move, people are open to new ideas. that is true across the country. our burners are being asked to come into centers of various cities for aetna. -- right now. whehowever, as soon as things gt better, they are escorted out. but we might begin to break that cycle. it is just wonderful to walk out on the street and see the world walking by. >> are you giving the twitter deal? >> yes, we are. we just founded a new nonprofit. black rock arts foundation, which is dedicated to spreading interactive, a collaborative art throughout the world. now we have founded but we call the burning and project. -- what we call the burning man project. it eventually leads to the event itself. this is a wonderful

, but let us take that into account as a city, as a government that those hospitals that are providing higher charity levels, we understand why that happens and we need that in our city, but that doesn't mean we don't want to see what's being charged in terms of prices for consumers. >> in addition to medicaid and med-cal offices, many of them have teachings like you see with san francisco general, they will bare an incredible a of additional cost to support those programs that really ultimately benefit the entire state, but quite frankly in california's case, an entire nation because we do a poor job of training those physicians in california. good back to those reference pricing, they don't lower cost. they shift them and they actually kind of ex asser bait this issue. i don't think that it's the best finance structure example around, but the cross sub sti -- substidi that we have is a dell indicate balance and if we start forgetting to address that there is a delicate balance and there's issues that has to be addressed. failure to recognize those cost drivers that include those bene

an arena will help to grow that for us as well the city. also, this is currently a parking lot that's being used only for cars. the open space this would bring to spend more times on the waterfront. in fact, more space coming out is incredible. so for us the hotel council and for us in san francisco it's great for your residents and all it's a world-class city. thank you for your time >> i'm pat. i live about a block and a half from piers thirty and 32 pr i think the new design there's a significant open space. this benefits an extremely large number of folks in the million dollars. not only the people in the neighborhood but people who live in the city and region who's visiting outside from san francisco their going to engage with the bay. i never walk down to pier thirty and 32 there's nothing to see right now. if you look at the support base it's a extremely large. people want to see this happen. the design itself is fabric but the value to a diverse group of san franciscans is there. in addition this acidity is next to i think the highe
