future where we have no hiv infections and if we do it right here in san francisco it will spread to other the parts of the country and the world, and we know in order to make this successful we have to put the resources behind the effort. this doesn't happen for free and we know in saving this community and the community saving itself through the height of the hiv epidemic this city did that because city government even when there wasn't the state and federal support, and we continue to get more federal cuts today even, this city put the resources behind these efforts, and we need to do that again today making sure that people have access, not just to testing, but also to treatment, and also to prep, and i know we have to continue to do a lot of work to make sure that we're expanding access to preexposure prove axis and i asked to be assigned to the budget committee because i know we're all working hard to come forward with a proposal for the next budget to make sure we're funding some of these getting to zero efforts so it's exciting and i look forward to working with everyone and

colleagues as you and many of our residents were quite aware the city of san francisco braced itself -- you're welcome to go to the podium -- braced itself for what the press called the storm of the decade hashtag storm a geton. the storm that deluged the bay area with 6.5 inches of rain, much need but of course at the same time maked the month as the wettest on record in the last 60 years. there are many things that the department of emergency and disaster services were able to do to coordinate efforts that were needed throughout the city but one important identified need that came from the hope office with bevan dusty was the need for emergency shelter for the many residents that live on the streets. >> >> and not able to get a bed in the shelter system and at capacity even when there isn't any rain. the department worked with hope and the city disaster services to quickly ready a shelter at the rec center across the street from my house really in under 24 hours an amazing task. they set up low bureaucracy temporary shelter where residents could literally walk in and immediately ge

offices to work as much together to deal with this as much as we can. i have seen san francisco change before my eyes over the past three or four years and yes, we do have a lot of young people in san francisco and we've also lost a lot of young people in san francisco as well and i want to see a we can make sure that the widening disparities in wealth that we are seeing can be closed and that we can share what we actually are able to generate as well. with as many people as possible and that we can actually tell people to maintain their wealth as much as we can as well. often, in district 11 in district 10, district 4, in the southern part of san francisco, a lot of the wealth of work and him as middle-class families that are in their homes and i don't think we taken on the issue of how to help people deal with distressed mortgages even in today's climate right now. of the real estate boom. where there are still people struggling that we need to look at. so, it's also building middle income housing but it's also supporting middle-class people to maintain their housing. as well. he mad

county of san francisco. the public bank could eventually take over the city's banking functions that are currently performed by bank of america and wells fargo and issue forms of debt and refinance the city's general obligation bonds. the goal of the bank is maximize the city's financial resources and minimize the amount the city pays out in interest and fees to wall street firms. it is clear that we have a huge unfunded needs in a number of areas such as affordable housing, transportation infrastructure, and renewable power to name a few. it's my hope that a public bank will help fill the funding gaps. while the city attorney had legal concerns about this we have worked with them over the past three years to determine as a charter city we clearly have the ability to create our own public bank, but even though we have the legal clearance the process of actually creating a bank is pretty mammoth under taking so i have been working with nadia in the controller's office, public finance to figure out a step in making this public bank a reality. we have concluded that a manageable first step

policy makers and better for us in the san francisco. i think in my opinion this account is going to serve as a report card as how we are doing in san francisco and also a road map going forward. we are going to be able to see whether our numbers have decreased or increased over the past 2 years. obviously there is though one size fits all solution to this issue as we continue to examine this over the years. i will be going out myself in the homeless count on thursday evening and look forward to that experience and will be a part of that data collection effort. two of the things i know we are going to be talking about both by supervisor wiener during roll call on the passing of bob morales. i was very shocked to hear that. he was the first person i met her coming to city hall. a great person, incredibly sad to hear of his loss on a personal level but also for the teamsters as well. then also to back up supervisor cohen and wiener on their hearing around police staffing levels. i look forward to participating in that as well and i will be looking forward to cosponsoring it. it's an is

female equality we need workplace policies that reinforce women in san francisco we've made great progress half of the city's workforce are women and they equal the men outstanding women in our major city departments like our fire chief and public directing director we must do better in areas like information technology public safety and skilled crafts great jobs with great salaries but which are not followed as women's careers well this year my administration will identify and eliminate boyer's for women in city jobs with good salaries a public sector must lead the way (clapping) and today, i call upon our city's private companies to do the same especially our technology sector where gender parity and diversity are lacking prouvend san francisco pleads the nation on family friendly policies with guaranteed paid leave and health insurance and retirement benefits to working parents in 2014 i signed president chiu legislation to request family friendly work arrangements women shouldn't have to choose between a great career and family (clapping) and when they go home no woman should

in district 10, district 4, in the southern part of san francisco, a lot of the wealth of work and him as middle-class families that are in their homes and i don't think we taken on the issue of how to help people deal with distressed mortgages even in today's climate right now. of the real estate boom. where there are still people struggling that we need to look at. so, it's also building middle income housing but it's also supporting middle-class people to maintain their housing. as well. he made great work together. a dancing worker rights in the city. the passage of the minimum wage law last year that supervisor kim helped to lead with the mayor into many groups on the city is something that has been unprecedented across the country. people actually overlook san francisco for what we've done. it's that type of work that we need to continue to do to make sure that we are making san francisco an easy place to live. i look forward to working with all of you in this effort in the year to come. thank you. >> [applause] >> thank you supervisor autoload. now i'd like to a college supe

transportation for youth and whereas the san francisco board of supervisors supported legislation adopting free immune i muni for low and moderate youth whereas making transportation affordable be made a priority for the san francisco municipal transportation agency and further resolved the transit agency's board of directors to expand the free muni program to people with disabilities and seniors. >> all right. we can have a discussion between councilmembers at this point. is there any comment or questions? >> no comment. >> i said it before, i think it will really impact seniors and people with disabilities improve their quality of life i really think it's a no-brainer it's a win-win situation for everyone. >> okay. then we'll have a vote to approve in concept -- donna? >> oh, you need a motion. okay. all right. i so move that the council approve the draft resolution in front of us for the sfmta regarding free muni for people with disabilities and foreseen i for, seniors. i'll need a second. >> i'll second. >> okay. now we'll vote on the motion. >> just a show of hands. >> chairperson sup

mission street in san francisco. it's a wonderful display. a little house in the urban center exhibition center that shows what it's like in a home in san francisco after an earthquake. one of the major issues that we are going to face after earthquakes are fire hazard. we are happy to have the fire marshall join us today. >> thank you. my pleasure. >> we talk about the san francisco earthquake that was a fire that mostly devastated the city. how do we avoid that kind of problem. how can we reduce fire hazard? >> the construction was a lot different. we don't expect what we had then. we want to make sure with the gas heaters that the gas is shut off. >> if you shut it off you are going to have no hot water or heat. be careful not to shut it off unless you smell gas. >> absolutely because once you do shut it off you should have the utility company come in and turn it back on. here is a mock up of a gas hear the on a house. where would we find the gas meter? >> it should be in your garage. everyone should be familiar with where the gas meter is. >> one of the tools is a wrench,

the federal government better understand the scope of the issue here in san francisco. it captures information around our homeless population. i thought i would list a few of them out to include basic demographic information including age, gender, race, ethnicity, homelessness. problems that causes homelessness. employment and income and criminal justice system. data around chronicle and subhelp population and all the data points i mentioned above in my opinion are vital information marcus for us as policy makers and better for us in the san francisco. i think in my opinion this account is going to serve as a report card as how we are doing in san francisco and also a road map going forward. we are going to be able to see whether our numbers have decreased or increased over the past 2 years. obviously there is though one size fits all solution to this issue as we continue to examine this over the years. i will be going out myself in the homeless count on thursday evening and look forward to that experience and will be a part of that data collection effort. two of the things i know

resolution number 2015-01 mayor's disability council resolution supporting the san francisco municipal transportation agencies expansion of the free muni program to seniors and people with disabilities. whereas there is a growing economic disparity between people with disabilities, seniors and the general population and whereas affordable transportation is an important cornerstone of community living for people with disabilities and seniors and whereas people with disabilities and seniors tend to be more reliant on public transportation than other populations, and whereas the san francisco municipal transportation agency has previously addressed the issue of affordable transportation for youth and whereas the san francisco board of supervisors supported legislation adopting free immune i muni for low and moderate youth whereas making transportation affordable be made a priority for the san francisco municipal transportation agency and further resolved the transit agency's board of directors to expand the free muni program to people with disabilities and seniors. >> all right. we can ha
