so i'm being kind of forced out of san francisco. i just can't make it in san francisco and it's not enough help getting a job. i want to raise your awareness about how difficult it is and what a competitive job market is, more competitive in manhattan. you are competing with everybody here, the tech people and i'm talking about twitter and all of these tech companies, the last people that they are looking at is people like me. when you are driving into the city on the 101 or over the bay bridge, the first thing you see are billboards of men crawling around in their boxer shorts. the hardware programmer and ruby on rails programmer. the last people they are looking at is people like me who are older women in tech. i wanted to thank you all and congratulate all of you for your success and everything you try doing; you've tried to accomplish. we are also in the middle of a depression. even though we have these tech companies, it's brutal. i want to thank you all for everyone you have done and raise your awareness that this is not enoug

we can't be about ferguson if we are not about san francisco. it's back wards and hypocritical to take a stand on support on a national issue on cases that are far from here on cases yet to be resolved. if we deny the opportunity by the race of those killed, then we deny the realities of our communities which continues to increase mistrust. there are many parallels with sf and ferguson. ferguson fought for weeks to indict the officer who killed mike brown. one thing you can do here locally is demand the release of those names at the very least to show support and show you care about accountability. to deny those names is to increase mistrust in law enforcement. we call on police conscience to call to police. these acts of violence are unacceptable. we are here and i also would like to hear, i have heard there are concerns including the language on the fact that every 24 hours a person is killed. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> public speaker: good evening, my name is jaron brown and i'm here with -- i want to thank supervisor avalos and m

half the san francisco average of 7 percent. that same study also shows that san francisco has one of the highest asian american poverty rates in the nation practically equal to that of los angeles and new york cities. west bay philipinos proposed college prep program will help address those two key findings in that study and as a fairly recent immigrant myself i am very aware of the challenges new philipinos face. we are unable to immediately adapt to demands of life in our new country. that can be addressed by providing culturally sensitive pathways to college. within the context of philipino culture youth will receive college degrees and are able to maximize their earnings potential within the work force, can help lift their own immediate family out of poverty as well as start their even few fuer families on the right foot, thereby breaking the cycle of poverty that's prevalent in our community and well in the city. as you are already aware, san francisco is one of the worst income and social inequality gaps in the country to

, i'm embarrassed to say i live in san francisco. i live in the city of richmond where the chief of police said black lives matter. he said this when he became an officer to protect his community. not one officer has done that in the city of san francisco. i took a ride along because i wanted to be an officer in san francisco and change the community but after seeing what this has come to, there is no way i can become a cop anymore. alex was not just a friend but my brother not by blood but because we shared this love for this city and we are both buddhist and we are both pacificist. it was unfortunate that he was killed by the police department. he was a volunteer for sfpd. for that i want to say i am alex nieto. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> public speaker: good afternoon supervisors. i'm here to alert the supervisors and the public to something that the library has planned for implementation next month that is going to be very damaging to the public general he and especially to teenagers and anyone under 18. tha

ian: so san francisco doesn't want -- san diego doesn't want to give san francisco more room to work with here. lee will do it from the same spot. royal now hovering around the 10-yard line. 8.ll back it up to the 3:38 to play. lee has placed two of his three punts inside the 20 tonight. high kick. this one ricochets to the end zone. the chargers catch a break. san diego will have it at the 20. 41-yard punt but a net of 21. the chargers at 8-6, one game behind pittsburgh and baltimore. cincinnati is 9-4-1. and the chargers are tied with kansas city and buffalo. still in the hunt. two wins does not ensure them a playoff spot. they would still need help. dan: even a loss tonight doesn't mean they're totally eliminated. they would need a lot of help if they win tonight. ian: could still make the playoffs with a 9-7 record. they're at kansas city to wrap up the regular season next week. 35-28, san francisco. chargers with the football. first and 10 at their own 20-yard line. 3:30 to work with. flag is thrown. rivers fires. low. for gates. incomplete. offsides. dan: yep. niners lining up

should san francisco develop a whole voting system or a component? could it integrate with other systems? and how would we legally work with other jurisdictions and organizations possibly private companies? like what would the legal framework look like? and lastly how we budget it over the years and the timeline we're looking at so i think there are good questions around this issue. i think it's worth san francisco pursuing. thank you. >> great. thank you very much commissioner. okay colleagues this is the presentations. we have staff here if you have questions of him, but the goal of this resolution is to reiterate what this board has already said that we want to move towards open source voting systems but we hope to have lafco study this so we can have actual data and analysis about what it would take for us to move in this direction, and what makes sense so we look forward to working with lafco and the department on that and i believe that supervisor tang -- >> supervisor tang. >> thank you. just since the director is here i have one question to b

we are, my daughter and i are the new faces of homeless in san francisco. i came with money saved up to pay first and last month but after 3 months of subletting and looking. the san francisco city painted a message here that you are not welcomed here. people of low and moderate incomes are not welcoming here and people tell me this place used to be a little bit ghetto but there are no more black people here. people felt okay to say that because they note the color of my skin. when low and moderate income people, a place to live. this is red lining. the whole city has been red lined. and black families and latino families are pushed into other areas. i don't want to live in san francisco. >> thank you, next speaker, please. >> public speaker: good evening, president tang and supervisors. supervisors you are the sunshine of my life for i will always be around. you are the apple of my city eye. forever you will stay in my heart. i feel like this is the beginning and i wish you look in the coming years. tell me how much leadership how much so much leadership b

and the san francisco transportation plan is the formal mechanism for inputing san francisco priorities into the regional transportation plan and ses. so the 2013 update and the comprehensive update, included a broad out reach and a trade and sequence strategy, with several different city agencies to take into account, the different components including the climate and the air quality component and the land use component and the economic development components and the transportation, and in addition to that there was coalition building with the staff from the city of oakland and san jose and cal train and bart, a multiagency approach was taken to update the plan and emphasizing that we need to speak with one voice in san francisco to be most effective in this process. so, few of the attributes that make the sftp a strong kaor lacing and a planning mechanism, first one is long range system planning it is multty operator and model and network and it is performance based and that allows us both transparency and objectiveness in identifying the priorities for san francisco in terms are what

francisco and so i think that have you heard about it and there are 1,000 outlets in san francisco and there are licensed to sell the tobacco in the city. most of these located as you now are very well versed in the low income communities, and communities of color and larger populations of youth that is one retailer for 110 youth and that is comparative to generally in california, which is about one outlet for every 254 youth. there are no limits to restrict or to reduce the tobacco, the number of tobacco outlet permits and this means that anyone can get a permit or sell tobacco. tobacco use has a huge cost on the city and we know that the money can be spent, better elsewhere. and the normalization of tobacco sales under minds all of our efforts. they have banned the locations near each other, and we have capped the number per population and another aid, california jurisdictions have also prohited the tobacco outlets or south valley and restaurant and i want to say that we greatly appreciate as well as actively listening to your youth. thank you for your support. >> next speaker? >> i

francisco had a robust plan significantly bigger than san francisco over time there were few miles a acts in san francisco other than a larger properties almost no small homeowners that were participating because the process here was difficult and long and expensive and unpredictable legislation we adopted a few years ago has significantly improved that and made a streamlined and more predictability thanks to the planning department and the assessors office we've seen a bunch of miles act glutton and last year, it was approved a series of small homes for miles act contracts 3 miles act contracts before his today are from the newest historic district in san francisco one that i authored and this board elective last day last year the historic district immediately north of delores park the all of a sudden dead end street pierce carmelita it's a behalf historic district and the earth is remarkable and those 3 contract were all recommended for approval by the historic preservation commission and in addition the 3 contracts have the support of the san francisco architecture heritage and we

general population here in san francisco. and in many other places. and that is because of the phobia and we all know that most of us, and most of all of us who start smoking start smoking before we are 18 and that is the toughest time to grow up as an lgbt person and so anything that is out there that helps to reduce the exposure to our community and all communities to tobacco, and during that period of our lives, and beyond, when we are facing greater stress as we see people and more likelihood that we will turn to tobacco as a means of reliefing that stress. so, thank you very much for your support. and we look forward to your seeing this become a law here in san francisco. >> thank you. >> and i saw that mirium from the grocer association has come here and her name has been called and so she should come forward if you can. the next speaker? >> i am a member of the san francisco prevention coalition and as well as the program director, and for the substance abuse prevention as well and i think that most importantly i am he

finally, the san francisco, on the planning side of the san francisco transportation plan has been kicking off and we have been coordinating with the local agencies and the regional agencies weaving together a lot of the studies that i was just mentioning and the muni rail and the planning and water front work and the freeway management study, and these will all come together, to a mini update of the san francisco transportation plan that we just did last december and most of that plan will still, service very well as we move into the regional planning through the regional transportation plan and we do want to take up the new and emerging issue and priorities that are identified through the recent studies. and so finally, let's see on the project delivery side, and it is moving forward and projecting well and the ramp is demolished and this is off of i-80 and coming into the city and there is a minor traffic change and so we will keep the folks posted on the website there and on the 6th street i was pleased to celebrate the addition of a new signal with commissioner kim and the mayor and p

of the world fair a moment in history where san francisco stepped back and onto the world stage. think back with me about 100 years ago and close your eyes if you are tired, it's helpful. to an extraordinary set of exhibitions that filled this place, the master piece, the palace of fine arts. the fair covered 635 acres and the walls city a top basically we reclaimed bay land. think of domed palaces, palmed lined courts and monumental statutory. all of this arose miracle that over a decade occurred after the earthquake and fire. just in a few years these entire acres were transformed and were the remarkable displays of innovation and being called electricity. the agriculture and despite the onset of world war i, 21 foreign nations built pavilions and joined the many millions of americans. if you were one of the people that came in december 20, 1915, you might gaze at the wonder of the tools of the light shows brought to this thing called electricity. you would have seen the model of the panama daniel -- canal and what san francisco fought to get from congress to celebrate the comp

i myself have been in san francisco since i was 5 years old. i went to miraloma elementary school and went to the junior high school and graduated from lowell high school. went to san francisco state and also have a law degree from new college california school of law and i'm here to tell you that as the executive director for the truth and foster family agency, which has been in existence for 25 years, our foster children have been exposed to a level of complex ptsd that is mind blowing. and what is resulting, for example, in the resolution specifically talks about the fact that the guns that are actually in the home. when you look at it, most of the suicides actually occur with the youth who got the gun from inside the house. these guns are there and many times they are loaded or they are actually easily accessible. so i know this is a very political issue for the school board, but the reality it's also a duty as board members for the best interest of the child. so i would like to press on you the fact that every day we deal 24 hours a day wi

i spent my life in san francisco and my schooling has been in san francisco and if i think that sets me uniquely apart from my colleagues is my dedication to public service. i was a long time city attorney and made it as a attorney here and went on to the be the general counsel of sfo and learned about development, major transactions and i think that's the reason why two years ago the mayor asked that i consider an appointment for the excision on community investment and infrastructure and i have to stay that the two years have gone by quickly. i don't want to repeat all of the things that the commission has done and commissioner mondejar has done well and i would love to continue in the work. i don't think i would have said that two years ago but i learned a lot in the affordable housing area, an area i was new to and no longer a student in affordable housing and i think i can bring value, new thinking, new strategies. i appreciate the comment supervisor yee and now on affordable housing for families and what looks like. i raised my children in san francisco. i myself as a child was

this initiative and this act will set san francisco as the city with a strongest comprehensive effort to limit tobacco licenses in our communities and there is about 1,000 right now, according to the research, and this is a reasonable way to limit them over time so that we protect the health of our community and in san francisco, low income areas, especially communities of color and the communities with a large number of young people have a disproportionate concentration of tobacco permits compared to other neighborhoods, for example, in jane kim's district, which includes the tender loin, there is approximately 270 permits, or stores that are selling cigarettes and other types of products and that was in 2011. compared to only, 37 in the inner sunset area of district seven in norman yee's district and or only, 51 in the marina area of san francisco and supervisor farrell's district and this effort will help to address this disparity, by protecting young people, and preventing the sales of cigarettes and tobacco products around schools but also protecting vulnerable communities by not

francisco bay area, established in the san francisco china town north beach area, 1968 and providing comprehensive quality and affordable and compassionate healthcare services for four years, we operate ten clinics throughout the bay area including seven clinicks in san francisco. the majority of the patients are low income with limited professioncy and face the challenges accessing the healthcare and up until late of 2013, the majority of the patients were also unininsured and participated in the program for uninsured adults, it served over 61,000 patients each year and of these, 49,000 live in the city and county of san francisco. and this represents nearly six percent of all san francisco residents. and since 1997, we have partnered to provide primary care and hospital service to patients covered by the san francisco health plan, over the last 17 years and especially with the recent changes as part of the affordable care act, they are now jointly responsible for the care of over 30,000 medical managed care patients in san francisco. and including over 9,000 children under the age

that is not the situation in san francisco today. the highest-paid teacher to find a new place to live is out of town. one former teacher who was voted most popular teacher at galileo and lowell high school is now living in minnesota because he could not face a place to live after facing eviction in the home he had been in over 30 years. in past three weeks i have been to five or six events in my neighborhood in the mission about housing specifically. with groups like justice and others had a forum that was started by the faculty and parents the buena vista horace man school and that meeting that filled the auditorium with a number of teachers, paraprofessionals and parents, there was a commonality, a common concern about whether any of you could stay in the city that we teach and live in and in which we want to grow our children in the classroom and at home and work together for their future? there is joint responsibility for teachers and parents and our students to thrive in this town. and it's a pre-cursor to the education of this

san francisco. the company has served san francisco since 1932 granting recology then known as sunset scavenger garbage rights in san francisco. the ordinance remains in effect and a proposed vendor remains the only company that has provided residential customer service since 1932. the proposing mou was not competitively bid. as city residents or by ordinance still legally required to purchase residential services from recology. recology is uniquely positioned in the san francisco marketplace. it would be i am mpractical to duplicate services throughout the city for traditional and government customers. it does not provide the rate, reasonably provides the rates increases to base commercial rates. some commercial clients have negotiated adjustments to these rates. oca there negotiated with recology on behalf of city departments. we appreciate the budget analyst the approval of the mou and lca is willing to incorporate the budget recommendation to amend the resolution by reducing the mou not to excee

in san francisco and san jose, 30 to 35 miles an hour and that is a gust. that is strong enough to take down trees and topple power lines, as you've seen all morning long. but the strongest of the winds are here right now. why? well, the core, the center of the storm, is making its way right in the coastline right in the san francisco bay. so this is going to be our last main band of rain that's going to move through that you can see stretching in from the east bay. san francisco, you're starting to dry out for the time being, but zooming in you can see hercules, martinez, some of the heavier pockets of rain. even berkley and oakland seeing that happen, as well. wouldn't be surprised to see flight delays out of oakland over the next hour or so. the good news, we are seeing some of this lighter to moderate rainfall, not as heavy as it was earlier in the south bay and also the tri-valley, but it is going to continue to come down over the next couple of hours. temperatures today, cool without a doubt, but the flag blowing in fremont as the cars pick up some of

the san francisco business times reported last year, quotes with a medium home price of $706,300 in san francisco, someone meeting the median income of $72,000 makes 48% less money than they need to afford a median priced home. this sort of homeowner absenteeism is bad for neighborhoods and leads to the fe no, ma'am fe phenomena of what some people call zombie neighborhoods. new york state senator who represents part of manhattan has announced his intention to introduce a bill that would place a property tax surcharge on luxury home on new york city residents. this would address a problem that arises when a significant number of homes are bought by with wealthy out of towners for place to stay on occasion or as an investment or hedge on mar coat swings. i'm beginning to research this critical problem of newly built housing that is unoccupied. can i could count on your support this? >> i agree with you that preserving neighborhoods is a very high priority. we helped advance this priority with the passage of the housing trust fund when we included funding for low and income residents rema

the income levels are here in san francisco. thank you very much. >> thank you. >> what i want to say when i watch you all sometimes, i'm not just talking about this meeting but other meetings as you are all interested in who is getting these units. i watch you all very carefully. how can somebody gets these units even if they are less than 150 units? now, back to history, you had the academy of arts university buy so many buildings in san francisco and get rid of rental units. your director, maybe the director of planning, john row him, others should give you an orientation. why and how did it come to be that the academy of art university displace so many thousands of residents to give to students to come here to attend classes. why am i saying that? every time you have some developer build whatever amount, they can't build in thousands, they build in hundreds. it's not who is eligible, it's who you know. you pay to play in this city. it's blatant corruption. and those that have suffered in this city cannot suffer anymore so th

everyone welcome to city hall the hall of the san francisco giants. >> yeah. (clapping.) well, today, we have an important piece of legislation to be signed let me begin at the outset this is a movement going on in the city called the sharing economy something that not only have we been watching with the roll of technology and the abilities to connect people you up to an time information and resources and the ability to connect with more and more people but taking place in our city and cities across the country is a movement called the shared economy that is based on a simple understanding that in order to be successful if america you don't have to own everything as i gripe as a child of 6 kids in the city of seattle i had to share i learned quickly i couldn't own sometimes even my own pair of socks that we had to share in order to survive and succeed we had to build a family economy around understanding he each other's needs and trying to help that out and, of course, share a lot of information well technology has brought about a huge revolution in the ability to underst

[ applause ] >> good afternoon board members. i'm joshua, i work for the children of san francisco. i have a very large risk because i'm relatively young, not as young as i once was. that's why i have an ira. my pension is very important to me. that's why i took a pay cut to work in public service. i took that because i wanted to work in public service but one of the ways to justify that myself to my family was i'm trading income now for reliable income in the future. if you want people to work for the city and county in the future because many of my brothers and sisters are going to retire and you are going to need new workers, you have to give them some kind of value proposition and that is reliability. the other thing is that hedge funds are talks of the social fabric in america. i deem to be more diplomatic than that but i can't
