, and stay right here in san francisco. sf made really provides wraparound resources for manufacturers that sets us apart from other small business support organizations who provide more generalized support. everything we do has really been developed over time by listening and thinking about what manufacturer needs grow. for example, it would be traditional things like helping them find capital, provide assistance loans, help to provide small business owners with education. we have had some great experience doing what you might call pop ups or temporary selling events, and maybe the most recent example was one that we did as part of sf made week in partnership with the city seas partnership with small business, creating a 100 company selling day right here at city hall, in partnership with mayor lee and the board of supervisors, and it was just a wonderful opportunity for many of our smaller manufacturers who may be one or two-person shop, and who don't have the wherewithal to have their own dedicated retail store to show t

i'm a ten-year resident of san francisco. i'm here today to offer my personal recommendation for ruby bolaria-shifrin to the treasure island development authority. i've been lucky to know ruby over 20 years. we grew up in sacramento. ruby takes it upon herself to right the wrongs in the world and inspires those lucky enough to be around her to do the same. i know she would excel as a board member because she represents everyone in treasure island. her determination and passion to make a difference, and her commitment to use housing as a tool to create opportunities in san francisco, across california, and as you heard internationally where she worked to approve housing settlements in johennesburg, south africa. i know she will take this position seriously and create a treasure island that is equitiable and offer opportunities to those who face the greatest barriers. i ask that you support mayor breed aways recommendation and appoint ruby to the treasure island development authority. thank you. >> supervisor walton: thank you.

in san francisco. these are populations that we want to house, and it's really important for us to do that. we continue to need to build more affordable housing to meet the needs of households at these income levels. unfortunately, we don't have the federal resources, they have been in decline for affordable housing for low income families. what this bond would do is enable 1,000 more units of pipeline projects to start construction in the next four years to serve residents that are seniors from homeless individuals, veterans and families. also, while we await a decision on proxy funds to's -- tran07 funds. this funding will help kickstart predevelopment, for securing new sites for supportive housing. the 220 million-dollar in the low income housing would go toward the construction acquisition that we have permanently affordable housing that would serve individuals and families earning from zero up to 80% of the area median income. prioritizing projects that are ready to start construction in the next

we have great transit here in san francisco and here in the bay. go dubes. with that, it's my honor to introduce someone who needs no introduction. someone who has overseen three championships over the last five years, the the of the golden state warriors. >> thank you. another great day. we have been on this journey for about seven years now. i know it's a distant memory, but we had some press conference on pier 3032 about seven years ago accepting the mayor's invitation to bring the warriors back to san francisco. obviously a lot has happened since then. two people up here -- actually, all of them, but two in particular at that point in time were critical to this project david chu in his former role at the board of supervisors was one of the first advocates for this project. it seems really easy now that it's all done. at the time he took some arrows for us and there were some times when it wasn't the easiest position to be taking. david, we owe you a great debt of gratitude and the support you gave us then in guiding us to our new home at missio

san francisco was emerging as the so-called paris of the west, but san francisco also needs to prioritize the protection of the historic legacy of san francisco landmarks in danger of being extinguished. i live at 301 get beer street, which is a university mound right in the heart of the portillo district. it was once known as san francisco's garden. in 2016, supervisor campos officially named it the garden district. for the title of the garden district not to sound hollow, the city must follow through and help restore university mound greenhouses. it is the last -- if the -- it is the last of the 21 greenhouses that used to be scattered throughout the portola in the 1920s, the portola was home to 19 family-owned nurseries. this is where the overwhelming majority of produce and flowers were sold in san francisco. cities need to become more sustainable. 770 woolsey can be reborn to its past glory by becoming a thriving example of urban agriculture and what is the second densest city in the country. it cannot only become an important community asset, but a model for other cities. building a

rent in san francisco. that's why we need more affordable housing. we need more affordable housing for all of the reasons stated above. we also need this bond to create union jobs for all unions to build more affordable housing. right now, i'm working for o'brien mechanical in the mission street housing at 1950 mission where we are building 157 100% affordable housing units. [applause] >> so what i'm really trying to say is we need to build this housing so we can support more people like me, more stacey provosts. >> the hon. london breed: thank you, stacey, and thiank you to all the members who came out today. and thank you to all the supervisors who came out today. i know you've got to run back to get back to business. i know we are all looking for a unanimous vote at the board. right, supervisor mandelman? you heard it from supervisor mandelman and president yee first. we're going to get a unanimous vote and we're going to get it on the ballot. we're going to knock on doors and talk to people so they know

san francisco is in earthquake territory. and it's not a matter of if but when the next big one will be prepared. so we have to be prepared. more importantly, we have to make sure that our public safety officials are in seismically safe facilities so that when they're trying to help the citizens of san francisco, they don't necessarily need help themselves. we know that the traffic division and the forensic services division are located in buildings that are not seismically safe. especially with the traffic division and motorcycles and their need to get to people and help protect people throughout san francisco, that's going to be critical. if we have a next earthquake and something happens, how are they going to get their motorcycles out? we have to start thinking about the future and ways to protect all of our citizens, especially making sure that our public safety officials from the police and the fire department and other departments can get out there on the streets and protect and save lives. this project, along with so

francisco charles here in san francisco tell us about it well yes i'm in a i'm in the people's republic of berkeley. which sadly has now become more or less a corporate version of the old people's republic of berkeley and everything is so expensive here it's very similar to san francisco that only the wealthy or people with wealthy parents who are subsidizing their lifestyle can live here and there are the solutions are pathetic and just you know the solutions are well let's build more public housing and we need like say 100000 units and we. can build like $1200.00 because each unit cost $400000.00 all right so just an affirmation sensor there on the ground is it is there is this true do is there human faces everywhere and needles in everything or what is a hyper by piper believer what is this true there are a lot of neighborhoods with those problems but if you are in the tourist areas of san francisco then all of that. human tragedy is kept to a low boil in other words it's stuff is cleaned up around the big hotels and the big shopping malls and so on but if you go out into the neighbo

francisco, went to public schools in san francisco, served on the school board in san francisco, and still doing the hard work for the residents of san francisco. so we have a lot of work to do. 55 years is just really about hopi opening peoples' eyes to knowing what we need to do i'm grateful for susan christian sson and ma keller and others who serve on the commission because they really care about getting the job done, they really care about not just equity in about how you talk about it, but what our small business community. thank you, nicky for being here. there are three generations continuing to support and feed people in the community. [ applause ]. >> mayor breed: our business community, what's happening in our public schools, what's happening in our cityies, and making sure that our programs serve various populations is something critical to the needs of making sure that we are a more equitable and inclusive city. i lastly want to point out and thank supervisor few er and supervisor valley-brown for their leadership in establishing the office of equity, to really dig deep

coalition for san francisco. and san francisco education and action committee. here on my behalf here in support of the sun light on dark money initiative. this initiative would take steps to level the playing field by increased disclosure, limiting contributions, and enforcement to ensure compliance. it would take steps to control some of the excesses created by citizens united. it would repeal the board of supervisors' ordinance from 2015 eliminating certain disclosure requirements for independent expenditure committees. it would implement safeguards against pay-to-play for that appearance on development decisions. i would like to acknowledge each of the supervisors who have sponsored this initiative. it would move the election process in a better and more equitiable direction. it would make elections more competitive even for those candidates without deep pocket donor base. it would encourage more candidates to run who might not otherwise because of the daunting task of competing with candidates connected to super p.a.c.s, and hopefully this will reign in the

my name is carmen chiu, san francisco's aelectricitied assessor. today, i want to share with you a property tax savings programs for families called proposition 58. prop 58 was passed in 1986 and it was helped parents pass on their lower property tax base to their children. so how does this work? under california's prop 13 law, the value we use to calculate your property tax is limited to 2% growth peryear. but when ownership changes, prop 13 requires that we reassess properties to market value. if parents want to pass on their home or other property to their children, it would be considered a change in ownership. assuming the market value of your property has gone up, your children, the new owners, would pay taxes starting at that new higher level. that's where prop 58 comes in. prop 58 recognizes the transfer between parents and children so that instead of taxing your children at that new higher level, they get to keep your lower prop 13 value. remember, prop 58 only applies to transfers between parents and children. here's how the law twines an
