to the city council in two days' time as i stroll through the city there's a highlight at every turn naturally public transportation is via boats rather than buses. if only the evaporators weren't so full in venice it feels like there are often two sides of the same coin the city's beauty and singular appeal have always come at a cost we are on an island in a look good everything has to be transported by boat there are no cars transportation whether for people or goods is complicated life has never been simple here. sylvia garland is of an asian who's had enough she's fond of her apartment but she can no longer batter city's mounting problems. here so this is where i live this is this is my living room it's nice there's a small terraced out there facing south so you get sunshine all day long. so this is my this is my kitchen so moving now so i have to pack everything up this one's already empty most of the carpets are empty it's a shame but i have to leave it more slick why do you have to go if i want to leave . everything is more expensive vegetables meat everything. because it's mo

the city attorney. it calls for end to gang injunctions was discussed at the meeting of the council. they were put into place in san francisco in 200 . 10 -- 2007. there are questions if they should continue to exist and if the gangs are still active. between 2007 and 2011, seven injunctions were obtained by the city attorney's office covering four neighborhoods and may make 140 people all african-american and latino men. over 10 years later, in a different san francisco, i have questions about the use and efficacy of the gang injunctions and real concerns about the ongoing negative impact on communities of color and how th injunctions have contributed to racial profiling. the city attorney's office has reviewed each injunction and are here to speak more about the strategy and share updates about the review us conducted. before introducing the first presenter i want to acknowledge from the san francisco police department with a representative of the gang task force. they are here in case of questions. w

san francisco is one of the richest cities in the world. at the same time, every night, there is more than 7,500 homeless people sleeping on the streets. suffering. homeless people are like human beings, like all of us. we should be treated as human beings. and housing is a basic human right. with this act, i ask for $14.8 million increase in funding for homeless families and i thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon. i work in the coalition of homelessness. today, came to speak on behalf of the group. today we are demanding $14.8 million for funding. services, families. we are asking for a 3.8 million for new subsidies. we are asking for replacing the family shelter. 1.9 million. 2.6 million in the bay view. so the only thing i want to share with you is you are spending $20 million in criminalizing homeless people. besides using this money to criminalize homelessness -- >> supervisor cohen: thank you. thank you. next speaker.

this allows us to move forward with the plans with the city but also gives the city and the upcoming board to address the cannibas business in potential cannibas businesses in potential overhaul of the business tax program in 2020. so this allows us to move forward but also allows the industry to have some breathing room as it begins to normalize. since the ordinance does give the board the power to reduce or to delay the rates we will have the power to delay, to reduce, or otherwise change the tax rates in that particular process. these are amendments that we passed last week. and i believe that this compromise gives everyone the space to continue this conversation in the context of the greater business tax structure without kicking the can down the road. and i'm also including an amendment that i discussed last week in committee which we are calling the wayfair amendment. i have circulated the amendments to each of you. this would impose a gross receipts tax on those businesses based outside of the city but distributing inside san francisco. it will -- it will level the playing fie

the want to marked where you'll find a city hall is the town's main square. next door is the iconic shone hole for the town's oldest renaissance era edifice. and chanting backdrops are everywhere that's why filmmakers have often chosen gurlitz as a shooting location for example many scenes from around the world in eighty days were shot in the city for forced uses hoses the soldier or shot in this roof. then he spectacularly slid across it and fell. as you will probably recall this into some cardboard boxes which saved his life. gurlitz has grown so popular with hollywood producers that some now affectionately call it girlie would. u.s. director wes anderson for instance chose this former art nouveau department store as the backdrop for a grand budapest hotel which is set in a fictional hotel from the nine hundred twenty s. that gives the film its name. the. six year old. each building here has a unique history all its own if you want to learn more about gurlitz is rich cultural heritage it's a good idea to book a guided tour of the city. twenty five years ago

i think that many companies are coming to the city. we are located inside the city. and also in oakland because we have a warehouse in oakland. i went through that area and it is really great to be able to develop and expand inside san francisco which is a wonderful city. and we like being in the city. that's why we chose to have our first store inside the city which is not what we usually do. we really wanted to be inside san francisco. is a great opportunity to be inside the city. >> that's great. i think we have members here as well. i hope you heard all the comments today. we will continue to work with you all caps clearly. kristin, sophie, we definitely appreciate you have chosen san francisco to be your headquarters, at least to have your office here. and the chamber and the city look forward to continue to work with you. is there anything else any of you would like to add? any questions from the audience? otherwise we are moving right along to our next speaker so we can have champagne.

for the community. as well as the entire city. mayor's office of economic workforce development, the arts commission, and several other bodies do not now have any really input in the process in the neighborhoods. they don't. we need a new chc to have that broad purview so that members of the public, rather than having to go to five different groups to keep up with what is going on in their neighborhood, can come to one place and learn. the last thing is, community benefits for south of market have to focus on south of market. right now the plan often designates funds could be used in transbay as well. that is not appropriate, please correct. [bell ringing] >> supervisor safai: next speaker. >> hi, supervisors. christie wong. i wanted to thank you for the opportunity to weigh in. i don't have detailed comments, but wanted to underscore the importance of the plan and moving it forward as quickly as possible. we're pleased to see the use of ab 73 to create a housing sustainability district here that will expedite the housing we need.

i just moved to the city. it is beautiful. >> reporter: this is the handiwork of one couple who comes to watch the fireworks. >> we are strong supporters of veterans, first responders, law enforcement, and this is just something for us to show appreciation to them. >> reporter: every independence day the couple rides in the morning, stakes out the same spot in the lawn to fly the flag and wait for the show. >> independence day means family and honoring our country and coming together. chuck during these political times people say uniting as a country is more important thane on this day, some said they are focused on looking beyond others differences and finding commonalities. >> it is one day that you think about to put it all behind of you and get along. >> reporter: get along calls for reflection. >> this is a grant urgent we do every year with our family. we are trying to put those devices away and play games and hang out by the bay. >> reporter: people say it was worth the trip here to aquatic park. there

also the political rebirth of the city. it would appear that the soviets had agreed to joint occupation only because they believed that in the first free elections berlin would vote communist. so it was with confidence that they watched the democratic processes of free ballot. though communist support in berlin was far from negligible for them the results came as a shock. instead of a landslide for the extreme left, there came a victory for the social democrats and other noncommunists. in june 1947, the town assembly elected their mayor, this proved to be a victory without fruit. for the allied commander of the frustrated soviets vetoed his election. it was a step ominous and foreboding. until that moment the city had been divided in name only. the russians made the division more clear cut from then on and set up a communist system in their own sector and established decided barriers between it and those of their recent allies. these were the years that the iron curtain expression became a realty. along the line from the ba

city is, we have heard from the city as capped at $18 million. which is significantly less then they gap financing on recent projects. so we have run a few different iterations of numbers and it looks like we will need both. and additional allocation of project space and vouchers, and to proceed with modular construction in order to achieve that 18 million dollar gap. it just our contacts, that is a hundred $75,000 per unit on recent other projects that have been funded by the city. we have been seeing about, no less than $270,000 a unit. it is quite, you know, i think we are all aware of the city posed as goals and keeping the financing projects low, but it is ambitious. so to speak, about these things i need to be enclaves in order for us to achieve that $18 million financing, one is the additional that reduces the city's gap, the amount of gap financing that is needed by about $10 million. so we are currently working with the sfh a and the va to make sure that their request includes sufficient vouchers for our project to receive an allocation

the bonds of the city will eventually issue for this project will be conduit meaning that the city will not be required to pledge any funds or property or assets towards their repayment. and with the project description, mission bay south block west is all-affordable property at 691 china basin street east of third street in miss bay. all of the projects and the residential units serve households with no more than 60% of the median income and the buildings will be one and two and three-bedroom configurations with a handful of studio units. the community amenities include a child care center with -- 45 children approximately, and a large community rooms and commercial space. podium parking garage and off-site car share spaces and on-site laundry and bike parking. no residents will be displaced as a result of this development as the site is currently vacant. the sponsor mercy housing california, submits an application by year end. and if awarded they'll return to the board for issuance short three there after. and here in support of the project are annie wong with the department of infras

my ask is i believe the city budget, or the city supervisors, and the mayor should cut the police budget drastically to fund housing, homeless youth services, at homeless services, education, healthcare, and food services to our most vulnerable communities in our city. since the inception, the police have never ever been intended to protect or serve our community. since their inception in the 19th century, the police were used to defend the rich, and the white, christian male populations and their families. even today, the police have no legal obligation to protect anyone from any crime. they are simply there to just enforce laws and bullets will not solve our problems. thank you. [applause] >> supervisor cohen: next speaker. >> hi. i have been living in this city. i cannot understand how a city sends more money to the police, and they send it to border patrol. we need that money, $3.8 million to prevent more homeless people. >> supervisor cohen: thank yo you. thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello, how are you guys? i'm a program manager at hospitality houses employment centre. hos

in the city that the city of seattle approached our team. we created a culture. we asked that they announce the single use plastic straw ban at our press conference. it was really fin and really effective we see this trend all over the world from london to new york where they had a hearing last week. they are pushing that in new york city to chicago, new mexico, oakland, san francisco. this city is the first to push the effort. -- being looked at, being proposed, etc. right now, other than the city. so it's unique in that. and i think there's a real leadership position that can be taken to that effect, if you decide to put yourself there. thank you. >> president adams: thank you. any other members of the public. >> my name is jamie and i've worked with two dozen restaurants within the city and so many is very important to me. to get surf rider and get things checked off. we initially bought some paper because there was a promotion to see how it's went. we just eliminated straws entirely. we don't have them at all. we have a diverse clientele

the city will still elect the mayor on a citywide basis. throughout this litigation, the city's priority has been to keep the voters and potential candidates informed about city elections. the city will continue to comply with the judge's order. the city will further analyze this confusing situation as it determines how to proceed. they did not determine how many will have elections come november. >> the intention behind what they are trying to achieve is maybe a good one. i think the approach of single member districts in santa clara is not the right approach. >> reporter: the new approach doesn't guarantee racial diversity and could lead to frustration at the polls. >> i think it's an insult to santa clara to be able to vote for the best candidate not necessarily for a candidate simply because of their ethnicity. >> the city of santa clara could appeal that court ruling and if it does. the asian law alliance will keep fighting for district elections. >>> a lemonade stand owner is upset because someone called the police. >>> a debate over

the city. through the funding it provides the new toilets and the staffing, so we're really happy about this partnership. thank you. >> good afternoon. thank you, beth, for the introduction. we are very happy and pleased to be back with you. as a company, we've been at the fore front of innovation in the public space. we think it's important to take care of it. over the last years, 20 years, 40 years, things have changed. we see a lot of demand coming from the public. it is better bottom up than top down. we have to adapt. we have to change. i think it's all of us that are trying to make the city a better place and how can we achieve that? our expertise is how do we connect services to the public. our clients are the city, but the users are the citizens or the visitors. so we think a lot about it. and we are not selling the services. we keep the maintenance. we are operators. so whatever is done on day one, we have to make sure that it would be functional, clean, something we can maintain in ye

the city should amend the rule of charges for that. there needs to be more chai clay for zero waste. that is on the books. if you cater for city hall, you have to pack out the trash with you. that is zero waste. you have to pack it out. people are caught off guard with that. if this is going to be an additional requirement for city events, there needs to be clarity on whose responsibility it is for what. i did have another question. i will come back to it. >> thank you for your comments. i think you make very astute points if we make those requirements. we will look into that and provide some response to regimena. >> a lot of what i am reading implies that there is staff on hand for these vendors, too. a lot of time the vendors are dropping off things and leaving. they are knothey are not staffe. don't assume all vendors will have staff on hand. >> any other comments before we go to open public comment? any members of the public that i would like to speak on item 4? come on up. >> i am eva, a volunteer. i lead a campaign called rise ab

my grandfather was also a veteran, and he drove a city bus for the city of san francisco and could afford to buy a home with my grandmother who was a sales woman at macy's. my father now drives the trolley cars in san francisco, and i, as someone who is the beneficiary of their hard work, was able to go to georgetown using my g.i. bill but can't afford to buy a house in san francisco. so this issue of how to keep san franciscans in san francisco is something that i feel very passionate about, and i'm excited to become a part of the commission to talk about how to create a pathway to ensure that when veterans leave and go fight for their country, that they have a place to truly come home to. i hear that there's also a concern about making sure that commissioners come. i just want to say that i've been hanging out at club v.a. commission for a long time. my good friend, dotty guy used to be a commissioner. so i'm looking forward to hopefully not just being a visitor to the club but actually getting membership. >> supervisor safai: thank you. so i think you answered supervisor yee's most imp

that is the city of los angeles, the county of los angeles, city of san diego, the county and city of sacramento, and we get no support for artists here in san francisco. so i hope that this -- this measure will address this, and i urge you to support it. thank you very much. >> hello, supervisors. my name is vinnie patel. i'm very excited to be here. i'm also a comanager of the vindelson studios. i'm on the board of asian american women artists association. i've been in the arts administration -- i've been in arts administration for over 20 years. i grew up in san francisco in the mission district, and i have to tell you, this is one of the most amazing times that i've ever been in. i don't wake up in the morning, figuring out who do i have to answer, who do i have to fight. this is an initiative where the whole community is behind it, not only community, but also city hall, and to be working with supervisor tang, supervisor peskin, who i never felt would have backed something, allocation from a tax, you know, to the arts, but we're in this moment right now, and it's a celebratory mo

the taxpayer work force that the city requires. and that's because we have many students and faculty members that can only access the college by vehicle and don't have access to public transit to get there. maybe not all the parking need it, but it makes it difficult. and that reflects on the building of the performing arts education center, which will provide venues on the south side of town. many of those will be in the evening and they will also require parking availability for people that cannot get there on public transit. on other fronts, the land should not be sold to a private developer. any housing built should be 100% affordable. we need to be providing housing for the people that the city needs that work here, our teachers, firefighters, etc. i hope that the p.u.c. will not proceed with the sale of this land at this time. thank you. >> president kwon: thank you. next speaker, last one for item 4 unless someone else comes up, mr. mark gonzalez. mr. gonzalez, welcome. >> hello. thank you for having me here. i was born in s

regarding the contracting per 2013mou we are relying on the city's contracting requirements, the city has 25% lbe goal. michell engineering chose to construct the project is city-certified -- 72% based on ocii's policy. the city has mandatory participation levels of 50%. the next step july and august dpw awards contract to general contractor and issue notice to proceed. will begin construction in september and project will excellent in mid 2020. here are the two actions. we have representatives of dpw, contracting folks, and also cmg to answer any questions. thank you. >> thank you. do we have any speaker cards? >> >>clerk: i did not receive any. >> chair mondejar: i will close the public comment and turn to fellow commissioners for any comments or questions. >> commissioner bustos: i have a question regarding the design. one of the things i am seeing a lot in terms of a lot of projects that are happening in san francisco especially with downtown is removing a lot of the parking spots. we have a huge stretch that i see with a lot of parking taken away, and that concerns me because it

i invested in the infrastructure of the city and i support employees and i support the city. he has a right to make a living but he doesn't have a right to push us out. i'm a second generation born in san francisco. my husband and i were young and we took a chan chance and we spa lot of money. i don't get to do four restaurants in one deal. it would cost me each restaurant right now to do a casual restaurant, it would cost between $400,000 to a million dollars in the city of san francisco. >> thank you. we will now hear from the permit holder. you have six minutes, sir. >> once again, about the notification would they have a person as i mentioned they are so far away. more than 500 feet. of course i have not receive notifications because they're so far. 300 feet who are around the 300 feet they're going to receive the notifications but where are our food carts. i really request from the health department they should review the picture where it shows a lot of food and the pigeons were there eating it was the same picture from the halal carts. i just really personally want them

end they decided to put the temple here close to the city center. it's in one of the city's most desirable districts. and that draws people here for. another attraction is the park a moderate rio in what was once the neglected western part of the city. today it's in a way says for locals on the banks of the munder not his river. which of money lead us many measure lane used don't even. no the city has a river between two thousand and six and two thousand and eleven zero this district changed a lot because the river became a more prominent part of the cityscape and then modern spectacular architecture popped up alongside a spectacular. many buildings were converted like this former slaughter house which has been turned into a cultural center. at the moment the exhibits on display focus on the topics of movement temple. the northeast of the spanish capital is more reminiscent of new york this is where you'll find the highest skyscrapers in spain the quatro tawdry or for towers was designed by a team that included star architect norman foster. they lie

the city. and, you know, i think -- as we know, none of us does any of this alone. i think we all find that kind of common thread and that is that we all want the best for our children and families in this city. i've had the privilege to work with many of you in this chamber. because you care about the children, that's why you serve. i cannot say enough how much i admire all of you for serving and giving so much of yourself every single day for our families. i think oftentimes that people don't get the type of hours and commitment you put in to do this work. and i want to first thank all of you for that. and, you know, i think -- i've had the privilege of working with many colleagues in the community as well. my colleagues here, this work is done in partnership with the office of ecic. i saw fonda davidson, who is a member of our program advisory committee and my team is here and they're actually the people that really do the work, liz, dave, haven't seen them. but i want to thank -- thank you

served streets in the city, i think the affordability of our city is doomed. i think we owe it to all san franciscans do not let projects like this be mired in endless process and i urge you to reject the appeal. >> thank you. next speaker. >> good afternoon supervisors. i am on behalf of the housing action coalition and here we go again. so many times over the many years in the past, we have seen it used -- a tool intended to protect the environment used as a handy convenient tool to oppose car free, high density urban infill on a transit corridor report that is, we are using the organization as a means to impede, abstract and a late new housing, and much worse, prevent san francisco from reducing its carbon footprint. i would say that's hearing has much less to do with the environment in a very common tendency among our citizens when faced with change to the built environment to come to a hearing and say, we have been here a long time. we like it the way it is. there is no room for you. get lost. my neighbours in forest hill use this argument and this positi
