the city charter. take support to the department that acts against the interest of the public and give it to our schools and parks, health services and public transportation services. the city is currently look at cutting ma the majority of muni bus lines however we have been talking about funding the police at all. it's ridiculous. you have a choice, you can uphold the industrial complex and head on the black community or do your jobs as elected representatives and calling for a new path of san francisco. >> thank you. >> we have the next speaker. >> >> it was passed in 1984 and they introduced a new amendment to remove the minimum staffing requirement. it should never have existed. i'm in support of the new charter and i demand that you remove any language regarding maximizing police presence in the community and in the city charter. however, we will not wait until fucking16 years to right the wrongs of the past. we cannot be ruled by archaic laws and board of supervisors this blood is being spilled

the city administrator. the chapter 6 contracting or procurement fall within each of the six departments that i named as public works authority is granted. because of the -- the spread of the various authority that -- that the different departments and different entities in the city have, there really is no centralized process or an oversight of the procurements citywide, so lack of central monitoring and central procedures are definite. >> commissioner lee: -- definitely not in place, given that they're spread through the various authorities that i mentioned. the two recommendations that we -- we provided on these are for the city to closed gaps in centralized -- in centralized monitoring of all procurement activities by strengthening and reviewing the procedures of city administration or strengthening and monitoring all procurement throughout the city. we also recommend to promote data driven decisions by the agency to utilize data procurement systems and to enter the needed information so that we capture

, in the city of memphis. so we kind of approach it a little bit differently, i assume. but i know that, on all sides, you have police that are being injured since the incident with mr. floyd. you've had hundreds of officers that have been injured all across the country. and sometimes people just don't understand, if you haven't been in combat, if you haven't been suppressed in life. or if you haven't had incidences with the police, i tell the story i became the police because i didn't like the police. and sometimes, you have to change it from the inside, as opposed to the outside. and that's a lot of the things. and i encourage a lot of the young people within the city of memphis to become police officers. if you don't like it, be a part of it. change it, from the inside. treat people the way that you want to be treated, as opposed to allowing other individuals the ability to police you. that's what i did. >> you just spoke about this feeling of frustration, and i think a lot of police officers. police office

we paddle towards the city center. as far as the famous sculpture called the molecule man it's 30 meters tall. how deep that ready set go. we have a little boat race. and emily is the clear winner. from one island to the next we're off to the greek island of rhodes before the pandemic broke out demetrius very took some time to show us around the biggest of the deck in these islands and. hi there i'm demetrius and i'm here to show you my hometown of rhodes situated on the island of rhodes also known as the island of. going to start off with the old town of growth which is one of the best preserved medieval cities in the world so follow me. the old town was mainly built by the knights of the order of st john who stayed here after the crusades early 14th century and right now we're actually standing in the night street one of the most beautiful streets in the old town that leads up all the way to the grand master spotless. so welcome to socrates street one of the main thoroughfares the shopping streets of the old town but

in the city. while any one death from covid-19 is too many, a few pieces of promising data here is that our death rate has leveled off for a number of weeks. our clinicians are doing a better job using science how to manage the disease. this could change at any moment, especially if the healthcare systems are overwhelmed and people are not able to get the clinical medical attention they need. there is a lot of information on this slide. you can go to sf.gov to see this. the big graph with the green line is number of tests done in san francisco over june and into july. you can see those gray bars are the number of tests done every day. i will say that we have exceeded our goal in san francisco. we set a goal of 1800 tests each day in san francisco. for the last week we have been averaging 2600 tests each day in san francisco. you can see from that jagged green line that is the positivity rate. that is of all of the people tested on that day what is the positivity rate? that has been gradually incre

regarding the shared spaces program it is fantastic across the city. it is heartening to know there are different neighborhoods that haven't got it up and running. my hope is that the program. >> you are only allowed to comment on the item that is discussed right now. >> he was commenting on public spaces. shared spaces is part of the director's report. >> he was deviating. to ensure we hold up with the rules and the government rules we have to stop public comment for this commenter. send it in written format to the commission if you go to the website. thank you. >> are there any members of the public to make comments or any other members of the public to make comments on the director's report? >> there are zero callers remaining. >> next item, please. >> sfgovtv please show the office of small business slide. >> we will end with reminder the small business commission's is the official public forum to voice opinions and concerns about policies affect the economic vitalities of small businesses in san francisco. the office is the small place to get answ

third, we're creating a third city test sf site at the south east of the city. the location is still being developed with community input. it should launch in august with the ability to begin tests five hundred people per day. in total we'll have an a additional fourteen hundred testing slots per day. that's nearly a 45% increase over what we've been averaging over the last week. this new testing along with the requirement for private partner it do their part will help us make testing more easily available especially for symptomatic or high risk individuals. resources for people to test positive, right to recover, hotel room it isolate. those are all the things we need to go hand in hand with our testing capacity. to find out more information on how to get tested please go to the website or call 311. i'm really proud of the work we're doing to expand testing in san francisco. we know that we can't test our way out of this pandemic. we need people to be responsible. to keep their distance from others to avoid gathers, and to wash their hands. getting testing is n

we're pleased to deepen the support of the city. we've been proud to be in the partnership with the hospitals and sheriff's department over the course of the last several years and you can see from this slide since the last hearing, both have undergone baseline assessment and participated in action planning and strategy setting. thithis is progress toward an achievement of the goals set out by the agencies along the five values in the proposed ordinance. what does the baseline assessment process show? it measures food procurement purchases and practises along a few different dimensions used to set targets for improvement in each. one, how much good food is purchased as a proportion of the overall budget and two, within each value, which purchases are strongly aligned with that value and three, the other policies and programs the department is undertaking, the support can not be measured quantitatively through the purchasing records, like they're own internal workforce practises. this is meant to be a snapshot prior to participation

the city. honestly i think that there's an argument against this amendment is that the proponents are resorting to big threats of terrorist attacks. and (indiscernible) thank you again and i'm looking forward to seeing this on the ballot. >> clerk: thank you. can we have the next caller. >> caller: hi, i am a district 5 resident and a parent. and i want to thank supervisor yee for proposing this charter amendment. i am supportive of it, but it's a good start. for example, there's still -- it still allows for converting from sworn divisions to only become civilian if it becomes vacant. for example, as the school district said that we no longer want s.r.o.s in our schools. the police chief said that those decisions simply be moved to other places. and that's not what we want. because that doesn't allow any funding to be reallocated to youth programs, to violence prevention, to something like programs for youth. so those positions need to be removed. we need fewer officers. that's the whole point

weekend, the sales for safe and sane fireworks will begin in the city. the mayor didn't want to choke off fund-raising for community organizations who have been through so much from the pandemic to the gilroy garlic festival mass shooting last year. here in dublin the city says the fireworks will only be allowed in neighborhoods with single family homes. this is a new thing. that means people will not be allowed to shoot off fireworks at apartment complexes, parks or schools. reporting live in dublin, bob redell, "today in the bay." >>> all right, bob, thank you. as covid-19 cases climb nationwide, the lines are getting longer at testing sites like this one you see right here in dallas. the positivity rate is rapidly rising in texas as tens of thousands of people are getting checked. the rate is currently 14%. now that's more than double the rate here in california but we're seeing those lines here for people getting tested to start to grow as well as the bay area reopens. "today in the bay" shows us what's behind the sudden desire to get tested and why

the city. how do we justify that? the fact is you and i know we're going to be living with covid for the 12 to 18 months or even longer, and so this is hitting in various ways as we try and keep people safe and try to prevent the surge in the hospitals and even deaths. but there's only so much we can emotionally handle as human beings, so ktell us how we're supposed to deal with all of that? >> thank you, mayor. i appreciate this, and again, this is such a challenging time, i would say the risks -- the downsides to the shelter in place and the slow reopening are very real and very concerning from a health standpoint and an economic standpoint. i think the counter point is no one has said, we're going to go ahead and open quickly. as you see across the country, the mental health consequences of opening and having a surge, many people are struggling in san francisco, but if we have a surge like we saw in new york or unfortunately like we saw in houston and parts of florida, we would have all of t

of my district in the city. ron is survived by his wife, ruth, his three children as well as seven grandchildren and four great grandchildren. in his five-year stint on the planning commission, he brought in valuable experience and perspective to the table. [inaudible] ron reframed and expanded the conversation about the evolution of space in our city. as foreman of the grand civil jury, he raised awareness of issues in city hall, and he pushed for investments in san francisco's infrastructure. r ron was committed to the city because it's the only place he ever called home. it's where he ran the house of flowers at 25 and geary for a half century, where he fell in love, started a family, and raised his children. though i could go on for hours about his professional accomplishments, it's important to point out that ron's legacy extended beyond his policy work. he had a lasting impact on everyone he worked with. he never passed up an opportunity to bring people together, no matter what they disagreed about. as pre

for the city of berkeley would instead created a new city department to take over the duties. our coverage, dan thorn live for us tonight in berkeley he joins us now with more on this idea. dan. >>well they can grant this proposal centers around the idea of essentially re imagining public safety. the mayor and city council members are proposing that police officers focus solely on solving crimes as opposed to handling traffic situations and they believe this could save the city. a lot of money as well as limiting the number of negative interactions between police officers and people of color. >>a new progressive proposal in berkeley could ban police from enforcing traffic stops the move being considered by city government would instead create an unarmed civilian division to handle the job, you know the calvary trying to cut co sponsor of the proposal council member ben bartlett would like to see changes to public safety in his city. bartlett believes a new department of transportation would be better suited then police to take care of broken tail lights fender benders and the

definitely longer nice setting the example for the mega cities i think something like 4 cities that can be affected by cause some flooding but there are other examples worldwide and for example the most modern invention in venice and of course different solutions will fit in different places. but few coastal regions have a huge barrier like this to protect them from storm surges if sea levels keep rising many communities could be left to make difficult decisions. it often all starts monday and in some areas may simply have to be abandoned. in parts of wales for example communities are realising they're living on borrowed time from. the local government don't have the money to pay for flood protection. and so people will have to start thinking about where they're going to live 3040 or 50 years from now that. floating homes like these in amsterdam could offer refuge in a crisis. in the event of an emergency for example you could move house boat to hard hit areas fairly quickly to provide people with temporary accommodations. so long for now most people here who live on the water do so bec
