everybody liked near city. thomas jefferson claimed new york city said spring and fall they have never had as far as i can learn. in 10 months of winter and only two of summer and i'm taping this with the snow and the cold. he longed for the company of springfield. he described new york city is overrun by hogs dogs and garbage and not much else. no one likes new york city. they spend the limits in your city and then there was a deal cut. next slide. the deal that would be cut in your city on june 20, 1790 in what is probably the second most dangerous dinner party in history behind the last supper. the dinner party was between you and you can see the pictures they are jefferson, madison and hamilton. madison and jefferson were allies and federalist and hamilton was their nemesis is a federalist. these were big issues that they were trying to reckon with. where that should the capitol city be in the other issue is how should i look at how do we build it and should be it simple brick or glorious romanesque capitol

compared to other cities the mayor and the city government aren't very invested in cycling policy. in paris and london it's a political priority. not yet but the visionaries of city a working hard to get up to speed. the green with pop up a bicycle past its going in the right direction but the future of mobility will still include costs and while many consider any cars oil lek trick cars a sustainable alternative to gasoline and diesel powered transportation it's not that straightforward is a look at some of the issues. electric cars like me are still quite a rare sight there is only 11 and a half 1000000 of us worldwide that's just a tiny fraction of the estimated $1400000000.00 cars in total but our numbers are growing e-cards use raw materials mined in south america the democratic republic of congo and china these include lithium cobalt and rare earths needed in our batteries it medically extracting and transporting these materials is an environmental nightmare often carried out under inhumane conditions. their reserves are abundant studies show that worldwide deposits of these

but all cities suffered. the pandemic infected their citizens and the adjacent economic crisis deflected their finances. nearly 2/3 of lake charles' tax revenue, for instance, came from sales tax. and with the casinos and other businesses closing, they had to scale back. the mayor hit pause on building new infrastructure. and i know many of your cities were forced to do the same. others had to lay off workers. compared to the start of 2020, there were 1.4 million fewer state and local government employees by years end. and these weren't dispensable employees. most of them were teachers. so my guess is that there are many, many city officials who agree, if the federal government can do something to help their cities operate normally, we should do it. my message to you is, that is not only a completely understandable request, after such a horrific year, it's also very good economic policy. there are no benefits to enduring two historic economic crises in a 13-year span except for one. our mistakes are fresh in

bhatia what more can you tell us about this city. this is one of just cities in guinea and obviously has a population of 300000 people and it's their main commercial so this is where. it's a very important city for people who are doing trade and other commercial activities. for the foreign minister victoria guinea is said to a vast ambassadors from foreign countries for where exactly might this coming from . yeah all of us you did say that tory guinea has a strong relationship with france and has been there for 4 months. but they also have a strong relationship with china and so many e.u. count trees or. contraries by more will know which countries are going to say in some support as quick as possible but obviously those are the contraries that i can see that they have really strong. guinea and that was d w is west africa correspondent fred move when you speaking to us thank you very much fred. come. here are some of the other stories making news around the world today a saudi led coalition has mounted a series of strikes on yemen's

as a city that had fallen into the depths of despair. after 20 to 30 years of hardly any renovation many of the buildings were in a desolate state and that affected people. picked on people that had close links to leipsic for many centuries so it was painful for them to see the city center in particular to case so badly. for a few and then my opinion this per condition of buildings was an important factor in triggering the 1st protests in the autumn of 1909 that eventually led to the peaceful revolution can be done enough. of this place is one of the most important ones chronicling the developments of recent years and decades. brought along a little book that illustrates the transformation of this very same corner building . this one here exactly this is part of what we call the tri fuel him which was heavily damaged during the 2nd world war. here you see the situation of the early ninety's after the war damage and 40 years of east german rule north had been stabilized to make it safe then in the 1990 s. the entire complex was restored.

if we look at the leadership across our city, it is not reflective of a diverse city. there's reasons for that. i think that what i would want is to help us create those systems and the culture will slowly change but it is a must that we have those systems that we are implementing them and that we hold people accountable. because i have to acknowledge that i've heard from a lot of people that i respect who are not totally convinced that you will do those things, i would beg you that if you are confirmed today by this board, that you will proactively reach out to these employee associations who have suffered and still to this day have concerns about how they -- black employees are being treated and women treated within the city and you will engage with them. be able to gather, be able to work out a plan of action for how we're going to deal with these things. thank you. >> president walton: thank you so much supervisor melgar. supervisor ronen? >> supervisor ronen: sorry, thank you. i am -- i have been having hard time making a decision on this appointment. it's not abo

to the city. thank you. >> thank you. is there anymore callers in the queue? >> clerk: i'm seeing that we have one more caller in the queue, and so i'll unmute our next caller now. >> hi there, commissioners. this is chris. i just wanted to discuss previously that i'm been following the land use hearing committee meetings by the board of supervisors pretty closely and there's been an extreme dearth of environment information in this recent legislation, and i wonder when we can expect the debris ordinance and legislation to come back to the board of supervisors and expect other exciting climate legislation given that we are in a climate emergency. i'd also like to say, as i have in every meeting that i'd like to see a carbon c attachment to every piece of legislation passed. it should be no less than $120 per metric ton of carbon. if we don't pursue this carbon fee, we're leaving about $20 million on the table that could go directly to, you know, communities that desperately need climate mitigation

the city's economy performed worse than other large cities in the united states over the past year. that's a question -- that's a matter of public health restrictions, out migration, we rely on tourists and we rely on office workers. until office workers and hotel guests return, we're likely to see an elevated unemployment rate in the city. we've seen extremely high levels of office tenants and big tech companies, putting their office space on the sublease market and not lot of takers that the point. what that means is, we're going to have fewer people in downtown than we are used to having pre-pandemic. even though the city is giving all clear. this is recipe for slow recovery. businesses have walked away from significant leases. i do think that part of the reopening san francisco broadly and recovery of the city's economy broadly hinges around perceptions of quality of life and things to do in san francisco and amenities in san francisco in which entertainment businesses are vital. i do think that one of the things to push people out of the city in the past year is the fact that e

the high-volume vaccination sites that was reported on earlier, city college, currently city college and then the two additional sites that are slated to roll out at mosconi center and the food market in bayview and we wanted to highlight we're partnering with community based organizations and it was organization that have received funding toll help us plan to roll out for community-based, we're now calling neighborhood based vaccination sites and one example is that we piloted through the bayview last week and yesterday we also piloted, we also did a soft launch of our neighborhood vaccination site in the mills at 24th and cap in partnership with csf and latino task force. our specific focus on neighborhoods includes partnering with communities, they were most impacted by covid and i want to highlight that we are engaging with them and planning and implementation with these sites to ensure that they're successful. this includes site collection, identifying and addressing any barriers identified by community partners and providing opportunities to allow for on site support for commun

the longer the city takes to try to find the perfect exclusion, the more the city is exacerbating the digital divide, and the more adamant carriers will be to adding new poles in the right-of-way. the good news is that, for the most part, there are ample city poles in the right-of-way if we could renegotiate our m.l.a. to make it scaleable and cost effective at scale. there are a few isolated targeted areas that new roles will need to be deployed because of a lack of poles in the right-of-way or pg&e poles in the right-of-way, and we are working closely with city departments and the city attorney's office on article 25 to accommodate this infrastructure. techniques like microtrenching where feasible will help to make this happen. we've been very successful in using narrow band or microtrenching methods in other cities across california and across the country. we would like to request the use of this method here in san francisco as it reduces traffic and resident disruption during deployment. so in closing, we have some additional slides if there are questions about our 5-g home offeri

cities are people. working from home doesn't spell the end of urban life because cities aren't merely a collection of jobs. cities are people. cities are passion. culture, vibrancy and change. look, we san fransiscans have thick skin. we'll show the rest of you how we bounce back. when you get restless and want to come dance to live music or see steve curry do his thing on the court, eat at the best restaurants, drink at the best bars, start your next business, host a convention right here, or just watch the giants from your kayak, we'll be happy to have you. san francisco has always been and will continue to be a magnet, a destination, a place that draws people. we are the city of pride. today, with hard lessons learned and so much yet to do, i believe we are at the start of an incredible recovery. we aren't just going to repair. we're going to reinvigorate. to come back even stronger. we will put people back to work. our businesses will flourish. opportunities will expand. and as we do all of that, ou

p.c.e., or any other city department. i'll have to side step that due to problematic reasons. >> all right. i'll just keep reading the newspaper, then. >> there is nothing more than than i would like to tell you that the whistleblower was the cause of that to taught our own horn, but i can't do that, due to our program's limitations, unfortunately. >> fair enough. >> it is a good question and a good answer because it shows that part of the most important part of that whistleblower program is the confidence that people can have in reporting things that they see and having that remain confidential. but i'm the liaison, so i can segue right into the liaison report. that was a good question, brian, and a good answer, dave, because even though i don't think either of you got what you wanted to hear, that was an important conversation to demonstrate that nothing is more important than the efficiency of the program and the confidentiality, or protection of people feeling like they have this safe confidential mechanism to report

and might you'll see from the city council share the same vision for. a neighborhood in the center of frankfurt it still takes some imagination to envision the new district the plan for seize an area that incorporates greenery and serves a range of purposes. for now it's a commercial and administrative area but the idea. to build $20000.00 apartments close to schools retail sports facilities and commercial estates the aim is to diversify rather than to maximize yields. the usually. there is usually an area this. is a cookie cutter building. we're creating a city and spaces are essential streets and plazas must have different characteristics. and the importance of avenues parks and courtyards for city dwellers is not a new insight in this respect the future will be reminiscent of late 19th century urban planning. to recreate the past just certain qualities very popular and in demand me and implement them here. this is what. people who live in small city apartments need green spaces and parks especially during the current crisis in places where there is a

our city is addicted to the practice of subjecting every change in the city to micro inspection. this is crazy. the people that are concerned about the ferris wheel, i hope they are also equally concerned about the environment we need to make sure the time of elected officials is spent wisely. >> clerk: operations, let's hear from the next caller, please. >> i'm a long-term district 4 resident and an environmentalist and the people that are calling about not having this ferris wheel in for four more years or five are environmentalist. we also support no cars in the city, by the way. the luxury housing people -- i believe in science, all of the important organizations this year, the local wildlife organizations are all opposed to keeping the ferris wheel for five years and hurting the area for the animals. i do appreciate that the board of supervisors is taking the time and doing the right thing here. initially they asked for one year and i heard there was a struggle on that, that it was deeply considered before they got that approved. i can see this compromise for another year, b

out we the city in 2018 and 2019. one half of 1% of those went to black-owned businesses. you see it in representation at the highest levels, too. the mayor in boston has only ever been a white man. for all time. for the last 91 years that white man has been either of irish or italian descent, full stop. 90 straight years of irish or italian american men. the city of boston has never been represented by a black or a woman until now. this is kim jany. her family has lived here for six generations. when she was 16 she became a mom. she was still in high school. after graduating high school she started a community college. she ultimately enrolled at smith. she worked a job cleaning bathrooms while she was in college to provide television and pick and roll for her daughter. she pushed to reform boston's public schools. 2017 she was elected to the city council in boston. she was chosen by her piers then to become the city council's president. that choice was made last year. as city council president, there she was in place

throughout the city. currently we have 16 staff deployed as it is to our credit and the staff's great credit that the e.o.c. staff, covid command center staff has remarked how great the staff has been. thousands of hours in time and something we have proud to have done. earlier in the response, a couple clips from the video talking about the work featuring key port staff. we have wendy proctor, and shannon at testing site, at pier 3032, and kim at 337. moving on, i want to talk about testing. the first city test s.f. april 6, 2020. testing front line and healthcare workers to now providing broad access for those in san francisco regardless of symptoms or exposure. and as many as 1,000 per day, 10 of thousands of tests have been administered at this site. testing, of course, invaluable to the city's overall strategy to slowing the spread of the virus. very early on we realized that the only way we would be able to get ahead of the virus, good surveillance data and testing is critical to that. we needed to

in this city envies, and now, the leader of the department of public health, dr. grant colfax. [applause] >> well, good morning, everybody, and thank you, mayor breed, and president walton. i'm so excited to join you and our partners from sutter health, the department of emergency management, and the fire department for this preview of our latest high volume vaccination site here at the san francisco market now one of three sites ready to give vaccines and ready to exceed our goals of 10,000 vaccines in arms a day in san francisco. i especially want to thank sutter health without whom this high volume vaccination site would not be possible. as the mayor noted, with our high vaccination sites at moscone and city college, we made tremendous strides in vaccinating our most vulnerable population: our elders. nearly 65% of older people in san francisco have received the vaccine, and just last week, one-third of that population had received vaccine. we are making great progress, and our progress is contingent on supply. we are looking ahead to february 24 and the state

i agree city college is an anchor institution for us in the city. one of the reasons why we are building that partnership with sfusd in to city college because we see the value of city college training our future workforce. so i will say that i've had many conversations with both the chief of staff as well as the dean at city college to try to figure out how do we ensure that our students who really need the wrap around support will get that so they can stay at city college, persist through the courses and graduate and be able to come back and work within the city. working with supervisor mar, we've talked about different ways to provide that type of support within the city we have a model called the public education and enrichment fund in which we create a structure to provide that operational support for the district and allocation of more direct services. i think that's the vision of supervisor mar in trying to bolster and support city college. i think it's a more long-term strategy so we can have city college rarn for a long -- around for a long

welcome to the woven city a project under development by japanese carmaker toyota a prototype city and living laboratory for cutting edge technologies. here all vehicles will be self driving and run on electric power or hydrogen the mini city itself will be powered by solar and geothermal energy with everything coordinated centrally by ai technology. it's been designed for a pop. relation of 2000. people he kluger that we need it smarter ideas about how people can move around. in a city with 5000000 residents and 3000000 cars that are idle 90 percent of the time you just need to do the math. so that you could probably reduce the number of cars by 80 percent. or going to the smart sharing system people could still enjoy the same level of mobility and sort of mention. meanwhile at the other end of asia in saudi arabia there are plans for a new megalopolis knee arm a linear city comprising for urban hubs the pet project of the saudi crown prince is said to cost an estimated 500000000000 euros road and high speed rail transportation are all electric and underground. nicknamed the lie becau

p.c.e., or any other city department. i'll have to side step that due to problematic reasons. >> all right. i'll just keep reading the newspaper, then. >> there is nothing more than than i would like to tell you that the whistleblower was the cause of that to taught our own horn, but i can't do that, due to our program's limitations, unfortunately. >> fair enough. >> it is a good question and a good answer because it shows that part of the most important part of that whistleblower program is the confidence that people can have in reporting things that they see and having that remain confidential. but i'm the liaison, so i can segue right into the liaison report. that was a good question, brian, and a good answer, dave, because even though i don't think either of you got what you wanted to hear, that was an important conversation to demonstrate that nothing is more important than the efficiency of the program and the confidentiality, or protection of people feeling like they have this safe confidential mechanism to report

not many city suffered as much as lake charles did during 2020, but all city suffered. the pandemic infected their citizens and the adjacent economic crisis deflected their finances. nearly two thirds of the charles tax revenue, for instance, came from sales tax. and with the casinos and other businesses closing, they had to scale back. the mayor hit pause on building new infrastructure. and i know many of your cities were forced to do the same. others had to lay off workers. compared to the start of 2020, there were 1.4 million fewer state and local government employees by years end. these weren't dispensable employees. most of them were teachers. so my guess is that there are many, many city officials who agree, if the federal government can do something to help their cities operate normally, we should do it. my message to you is, that is not only completely and understandable request, after such a horrific year, it's also very good economic policy. there are no benefits to enduring to historic economic crises in a 13 year span except for one. while these are fresh in

you bunch of people running a fake city hall. city hall should not be closed. it is healthy, safe enough for all the people who work at city hall, including your commissioners, to be open for the public to do business in san francisco. 2020, we have 30% of the business fail because of city hall. your department, ethics commission department, do not support our public the constitutional way. as you can see some of the items that you keep talking about to yourself, and i believe that i am the only one so far speak on behalf of the public today for the entire san francisco, so you're basically running a failed commission, ethics commission. according to what we see in united states, we have 50 states in america. 27 states that are republican run cities and states, they are open, open for business. they're open to travel, there's no curfew, and they're opening public schools. but look around you in san francisco. what have you done to damage? your meetings are not productive, have been killing san francisco in the entire 2020. now, we are talking about 2021. please
