we have pocketed of great neighborhoods haul have all have their own uniqueness. >> san francisco has to all >> good morning.co has to all i love this day. it's wonderful to be here with all of you. so many people in the room who are my favorite people in the planet. thank you for joining us this morning. every year we try and make this breakfast as special as possible to celebrate our work together. on behalf of the environment, on behalf of our city and on behalf of our plan secretary this year is of course no exception. so to get us started this morning, we have an up lifting performance from students from the school of the arts here in san francisco let's welcome them now. [♪] [♪] [♪] [♪] [applause] while they're walking outlets give a hand for the inspiring students of the arts! [applause] there is something so timeless about that song. i remember when it came out in the 70s and 40 years later it's still ringing true. though, in san francisco, where is ed ruskin. where are you, ed? oh my god, he is back there. ok! i think ed would agree that we build a lot more transit an

san francisco and a journalist and author. i was the writer on the map that peter showed of nature in the city. i'm very excited about this resolution and this idea. one of the things i've learned as a writer on this subject is that one thing nature needs to persist is connecttivety. plants and animals need each other in relationship and they also need space across space -- to be able to move across space to go from one place to another to renew their genetic inheritance of others with of their own kind and to rest and reproduce. so what are some of the things in the way of saving nature today, which is under seeing in a dire way, connectivity. the lack of connectivity among human institutions is one of the big problems. so we have all of these incredible achievements in san francisco to bring banative species to integrate new exotic species and to create more and more beautiful nature that characterize our beautiful city. we have all of these different agencies that don't know what each other are doing and they don't coordinate with each other. >> [bell ringing] >> so this is a wa

public comment? next item. >> madam secretary: considered to be routine by the san francisco public utilities commission and acted upon by a single vote. there will be no discussion unless the public questions in which it will be removed from the calendar and considered as a separate item. >> i'll move approval. >> second. >> second. >> discussion? public comments? all in favor. >> aye. >> opposed. pass passes. no closed session. do we have any other new business from the commissioners? with that, this meeting is adjou adjourned. thank you. . >> well, welcome, everyone to this fabulous rooftop of a monumental announcement. my name is debbie raffel, and i am the director of the san francisco department of environment. and today, i am joined by president london breed and by don falk, the ceo of the tenderloin neighborhood development corporation, affectionately known as tndc. and with us we've got representatives some of the dozens of community partners, we've got the library here, we have our light bulb company manufacturer -- not manufacturer, but seller here. so we've got the whole

cohesive san francisco payment. there's an urgency to build with best practices. this includes maximizes cobenefits such as open space, neighborhood greening and cleaner air for our communities and especially with focused efforts on cost neutral improvements, for example, greening with the right types of plants. third, we are fortunate that countless access are being planned and designed in the grayer neighborhoods of our city, along the bay shore and in inland areas not to mention private spaces and green roofs. we've been proud to work in central sonoma where our regulation will create 20 acres of supportive greening. as we work with project sponsors and fellow departments on the design and quality of our physical environments, institutionalizing key diversities will help us leverage these opportunities towards a greener city. independent greating -- independent independent -- independent great -- independent grading systems helps also. we will open new pathways for implementation and maintenance funding for integrated more nature. thank you so much for your consideration. the planning

-- workplace bullying and discrimination going on against the teachers and staff in san francisco. we have examples with the martin luther king middle school where teachers were being bullied by the principal and the assistant principal, harassed out of the school. there was a frame up against a staff member to fire him and one of the problems is there's not transparency. i think there needs to be an investigation of this program, and i think it should be terminated or at least moratorium should be put on the program and action against teachers until there's a full investigation. i found it -- we found it outrageous that $1 million is being spent on this program when that money should be going to the teachers, should be going to the staff. it's coming from parcel a. it was teachers were unaware this was going to be happening. the public is unaware. if it's going to go places should go to the teachers and staff and not consultants and programs that bully and intimidate the teachers. we say enough is enough. it's time to stop harassing and bullying the teachers out of their jobs. >> oka

we're test t facing here in san francisco but really also, up and down the state of california. test t we have some troubling stats, where one test t in eight americans lives in california but one test text1 underline test in three homeless youth live in our state, and te one test t of the five individual's experiencing homelessness in san francisco is under the age of 25. so what test text1 underline test t we're really seeing is this multiprong approach that we have to have. we can't just treat this test population as we would treat test text1 underline test text1 italics young adults. their test text1 underline issues are different their reasons are different that test t they're on the street. that's why it's so great to announce this $2.5 million grant to market test tstreet. we were able to implement some money into the homeless youth and housing program and identify four counties in the state where we could get money to test t 2.5 million to test text1 underline each of those counties so there was money test tex propped to santa clara te county san diego, l.a. county specifically

, clearly defined in san francisco. we also wanted to just further clarify if buildings are to comply with seismic safety, the program that you as a prorlt property owner would be working to have your front entrance in compliant and we clarified the section on that. and then of course, we know that although the onus is on the property owner and/or the business for complains, we want to -- clienompliance, we want t make sure they have 30 days notice, if they have to make and irremediable yat the entrance way or the sidewalk. we want to make sure the small business tenants understand what it may be. we're not trying to harm small businesses, we're trying to help them. because when there is a lawsuit brought forward, the responsibility can fall on either the property owner or the small business tenant. so with that, colleagues, we have a representative from dbi. if you have questions, we can go to public comment. mr. sean, any other remarks? >> i would say the department is appreciative of this consideration, supervisor. we have had a number of small businesses and property owners come b

in san francisco this is a trend how we do business. rather than have people work for the city in well paid jobs, represented with full benefits, we have pushed more and more work of the city to nonprofits. now, i have been told that nonprofit workers got the minimum wage. that is sufficient. $15 per hour, yes, that is good. can you really live in san francisco on 30,000 per year? can you raise a family? can you own a house? can you afford to present? think about it. $30,000 per year. typically people say no more than a third of your income can go to rent. $10,000 a year for rent. what does that get you in san francisco? that is not even $1,000 per month. the reality is that these workers do some of the hardest work in our city. they take care of the most marginalized members of the community, most vulnerable members of the community. the in home support workers take care of parents, aunts, uncles, grandparents, people with disabilities. the role they played in taking care of people with h.i.v. and aids over the last 30 year is heroic. i say that as someone living with h.i.v. it i

turn in san francisco you see something that remind that san francisco is full of italian examples like supervisor stefani told us from fisherman wharfes where a lot of fisherman were working. there was the founder of bank of america and the first one who gave money to the poor italian immigrants here to give credit to them. in fact, the bank was in italy first. let's not forget that. please don't discriminate us for being italians and give us a day to celebrate our roots because we are proud of our roots and our history. thank you very much. >> first of all, thank you supervisor stefani and to the other supervisors for the consideration of this ordnance. you're going to hear a lot of good things here. it's a wonderful ordnance. i hope that the rest of the country takes this formula and starts to apply it to other places so we start having a -- instead of a devicive situation the but where people are coming together. thank you again. >> i'm going to try to do this with a guest speaker here. my name is nick fagoni, i'm with the coalition of italian childrens organizations. that's 22

can expand our local san francisco lb program. so, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. >> i was on the first committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. in the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. we wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. >> i like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to small businesses and lots of creative ways. help the community as well. there is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. >> my faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many small businesses. [inaudible] women owned business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. it is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to gr

transportation sector. in san francisco the transportation sector accounts for about 50% of our emissions, a huge part. this is a city that believes in leading by example, and our transit fleet is one of the cleanest in the nation, and part of that cleanliness, if you will, has to do with fuel switching, where we're getting off of diesel, dirty diesel, and replacing it with renewable fuels. we are electrifying when we can, and we're using renewable fuels when the technology hasn't quite caught up with us yet to get off of dues will and nonrenewable fuels. this allows us to take action using existing equipment and existing technology. the san francisco department of environment, the mayor's office, the port and all of our community stakeholders with us today ahave been working hard o introduce renewable fuels into this new form of transportation. so i'm pleased to introduce to you today mayor mr. mark farrell who will be making the announcement that we are all looking forward to listen to. so mayor farrell. >> thank you. debbie. it's good to be here, and love the interaction that

president of united educators of san francisco. i believe the malcolm x academy has said what has needed to be said very eloquently as has president blanc. i won't take the two minutes to repeat it. but i want to make it clear united educators of san francisco stands in support of the malcolm x academy community. thank you. [applause] >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you. >> hi, i'm here in support of malcolm x academy. >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: i don't have a card for you, i'm sorry. public comment is closed. >> i have a voice. >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: we asked for you to give a card ahead of time. if we allow you, we will have to allow everybody. i already extended the time. >> can you just give her half a minute. she is here with a child and she just wants to have her voice heard. >> i just hope you make the right decision and do what's right -- [off mic] >> president h. mendoza-mcdonnell: thank you. thank you. okay. thank you all for public comment. and for sharing all of your comments and -- >> [off mic] >> okay. thank you. and we heard it from many

parties, old school cafe, hunters point family and the san francisco conservation core. obviously their reputations pre seed them. but given the commission's action resolutions 160233, and the idea that we have workforce development kind of incapsulated in these grants, and i don't know to what extent each party is going to be required to participate in any actual workforce development because there's other roles and responsibilities here. but also, one thing with respect to the process. i would like something from staff because we formed a committee. for purposes of reviewing the applications, six applications i guess it was, and on that committee was to staff from the p.c. former elected official and agriculture expert and someone else, when we do -- it would put me in a much happier place, if we're going to engage a conversation about folks that are trying to get grants support from the agency, and that conversation includes workforce development. it seems more appropriate to me to have someone reviewing those applications and engaging those individuals in workforce development techn

school of the arts here in san francisco let's welcome them now. [♪] [♪] [♪] [♪] [applause] while they're walking outlets give a hand for the inspiring students of the arts! [applause] there is something so timeless about that song. i remember when it came out in the 70s and 40 years later it's still ringing true. though, in san francisco, where is ed ruskin. where are you, ed? oh my god, he is back there. ok! i think ed would agree that we build a lot more transit and bike lanes than parking lots. we're on the right track. [applause] so good morning, everyone. my name is debbie and i have the privilege of serving as the directodirector as the san frano department of environment. we have a lot to be proud of when it comes to our environmental achievements as a city and san francisco would not have much to celebrate if not for the collective efforts of all of you with us here today. and so i would like to start by acknowledging some of the leaders who are in the room. the room is full of phenomenal leaders and these are a few of particularly note in my heart. so first and foremost,

behalf of the police commission, the men and women of the san francisco police department, we send our condolences to chris martinez, her wife and her family, and all the officers who served in the san francisco police department. may she be in our thoughts and prayers, and god bless. >> all in favor? >> we're adjourned. - working for the city and county of san francisco will immerse you in a vibrant and dynamic city that's on the forefront of economic growth, the arts, and social change. our city has always been on the edge of progress and innovation. after all, we're at the meeting of land and sea. - our city is famous for its iconic scenery, historic designs, and world-class style. it's the birthplace of blue jeans, and where "the rock" holds court over the largest natural harbor on the west coast. - our 28,000 city and county employees play an important role in making san francisco what it is today. - we provide residents and visitors with a wide array of services, such as improving city streets and parks, keeping communities safe, and driving buses and cable cars. - our employ

forward and keep your patients here in the city and county of sa san francisco. >> do we have families of patients? do we have families of someone dells? swindells? if they would come up. i want to give them an opportunity to speak if that is okay with everyone else. >> my name is rick. my sister has been a patient there for seven years and i have a cold but i just want to say this i know the time is brief. i want to give you my experience. before laura was taken to st. lukes, they fractured her shoulder, they let her go early and we didn't want to bring her back so took her to ucsf. they don't have a stepdown so we tried to get her into st. lukes but they weren't expecting anyone and they sent us to kent field across the bay, and they said they were concerned with laura and me not ever dealing with anybody with a trach and so she was only supposed to be there for two weeks, it turned out for me to be a three-month nightmare. her -- was dislodged and her abdomen filled with fluid and for three months i was going back and forth to the city from kentfield. kentfield whichs the golden gat

us benefits programs. but most importantly, working for the city and county of san francisco gives employees an opportunity to contribute their ideas, energy, and commitment to shape the city's future. - thank you for considering a career with the city and county of san francisco. . >> welcome. good morning, everybody. thank you for coming out on another amazing sunny day here in the city of san francisco. i want to thank you here for being on this critically important topic. you know, last year was a very challenging year for our residents here in san francisco and for our visitors and everyone else who parked their cars on the streets of san francisco. nearly 31,000 cars were broken into in 2017 in our city, which is a crazy number. a total of 25% increase over the year before. and let me say i'm going to be the first to tell everybody and to make sure the residents of san francisco know that we believe that this is completely unacceptable. the status quo on our streets is completely unacceptable, and we have to do things better. our city cannot continue to thrive if people are a

incredible achievements in san francisco to bring banative species to integrate new exotic species and to create more and more beautiful nature that characterize our beautiful city. we have all of these different agencies that don't know what each other are doing and they don't coordinate with each other. >> [bell ringing] >> so this is a way to amplify nature. >> thank you. >> beckie evans on behalf of the sierra club. we support this resolution. it's pleasing to be here and see the cooperation of the people from the different city departments vm i'm impressed by the fact that the san francisco children's program have a swath of san francisco's public open space that was under to guidance of the federal government. i hope you will support this. i think it's a good start. we've got a way to go and i think it's a good thing for the department of environment and the city to be doing during this incredible time of pressure on our public lands. thank you. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. board of supervisors and fellow citizens, my name is ryan tachiana, the youth pro

left in san francisco. as far as i know, there are only two left. us and hamburg. we've been in the aquatic park enabled for 40 years, we're in a historic landmark building. at one time, in our 40-year history in that location, we probably had 100 employees at one time. the company is a little bit smaller now, but we still support the local law enforcement. we make donations to them. we attend -- we are active in the maritime events in the area. and all over san francisco. and i think that's it. all right. any questions? >> thank you very much for your comments. >> thank you. >> i'm edward kaufman. i'm the executive director for mission graduates. i think it has been aptly reported on, we've been in the mission community for 50 years. i can think of no other vision for programming that is more important than ensuring that young people in our community are able to get the degrees they need to get the careers that will keep them in san francisco. so i think in our application, you see a lot of our content so i'll leave it for any questions you have. >> does any other member of the pub

that employs, hundreds of workers, artists, and is beloved treasure in san francisco. i also want to thank and acknowledge the mayor and his staff who are helping guide this process through the coming couple of months. in addition, i am introducing the equity for impact transportation tax that i mentioned at the transportation authority commission meeting earlier today that would utilize our existing tax rate for a new category of business, private transportation companies, as bike share and other emerging industries like the e scooters that everybody is explainin como us about. it's good city and practice to make sure the laws keep up. we have to move as quickly aztec and make sure that they are clear and equitable rules that apply to this business sector. as such, this tax is a long overdue update to our tax structure which recognizes the emerging and evolving businesses of private transportation, whether it's fixed route businesses or multi billion dollar commercial carrier businesses like uber and lyft. while capitol hill shells out federal tax cuts and funding streams for pro

. in 1978, behested payments, as a wrinkle. and it has grown immeasurably in san francisco to include millions of dollars worth of big money going to special events like the america's cup. we're not speaking about the little groups. and aaron peskin suggested with an exemption so these non-profits are not included. so i will have to speak very fast. i would recommend to this body you enact this and raise this issue back at the board. >> good afternoon, supervisors, debbie from the san francisco human services network. i think we are at a key point here and i'm here today to urge you to adopt the ordinance as amended by the board of supervisors and with the amendments by your staff and move it back to the board. i guess i have to disagree with mr. marsdella, it's a 40-page comprehensive piece of ethics reform. and as non-profits we have worked around amendments that were very, very specific to our sector in a few places. but our concerns have been very targeted and i really think that we have tried to participate in this process in a very thoughtful and principled way. and i want to th

engaging with every day san francisco trying to talk to folks who won't find us. the central green stream is a futures task force that brought together 100 invited folks for two and a half days of intensive workshops where we got to dive deep and think ambitiously about what 50 years in the future of san francisco could look like and the bottom stream is the darker blue is city staff really supporting and facilitating conversations. it was a conversation and not single touch points but something that we've come back to using different tools. noticing the first circle is where we're here today and this is the initial phase of this over all program and there's more exciting work to come. i'll talk about that at the very end. i mentioned the nature of our outreach. we really took on the challenge to try to reflect not just the folks who can come find us and want to engage on transportation but every day people who experience it. it's part of their life but it's not top of mind. we obviously used online surveys to try to reach volumes of people. we took on a couple of new techniques focus gro

[applause] first of all, i want to welcome everybody to city hall for our earth daybreak fast. thank you for joining us this morning. this time of year in april, we always enjoy highlighting how san francisco is a leader in the environment across the globe, not only here locally but here at the state of california but across the globe. we highlight public events that are inspiring people whether it's our youth, whether it's the residents of san francisco like the city nature challenge run locally here by our california academy of sciences. thank you. there we go. [applause] and of course, we're making bold long-term goals for our city of san francisco by pursuing ambitious but commonsense policies that will drive san francisco into the future. i want to tell you a quick story. yesterday, i had

huge determining factor of what our future of san francisco looks like. and also, our ability to come together and make decisions and address issues from a governance perspective is really going to determine where we head as a city. using these two drivers of change or uncertainty, we were able to develop future scenarios, glimpse into what san francisco may be under a range of conditions and outcomes. again, the two uncertain tease in the vertical direction, social and political will. the perspective on how we can come together in self govern and then across the horizontal, is changes in the economic system meaning how are we integrating equality into the over arching economic system of the city. working around starting in the upper left in a clock wise manner, it's one of the first scenarios we labeled mine the gap. this is where san francisco is desirable and elite enclave with services that work well for residents but only those who can afford to live here. moving to the upper right, building bridges is a scenario where san francisco's come together and a regional-minded nature wi

. brooks? >> good afternoon, commissioners. eric brooks speaking on behalf of the san francisco green party, our city and also public net san francisco. so i would want to give a big thumbs up to what you just raised and note that it's very, as i'm sure you all know, it's very imminent. we have cpmc-sutter health that is basically shirking a lot of agreements that it made with the public to properly serve, especially the area where st. luke's is at in the mission. we're getting a raw deal from cpmc, and so we need to do something about that, and it would be great to have a hearing next month about cpmc about all of it, and how to figure out how we're not going to let these nonprofits, and people who make millions of dollars a year in their own salaries, not giving san francisco the support it needs, especially when it comes to mental health beds, which continue to decline, except a couple of weeks ago there was one spot of bright news that we don't have enough. also on publishes, ownership of public resources, the public broad band internet issue is now very imminent. the mayor's offi

extraordinary opportunity that you have at no cost to reinforce san francisco's brand as proudly tolerant and diverse, harvey milk's city, and do you have the courage to identify yourself with his message and to make history? i hope the answer to these questions is yes. symbolism matters, especially today. thank you. >> supervisor fewer: thank you very much. >> thank you, supervisors, for hearing this item today. i wanted to especially thank my supervisor, supervisor ronen, for carrying on the hard work of my former supervisor, supervisor campos in bringing this forward. i remember a rally for years ago standing on the steps of city hall with our milk sfo signs and, you know, i am a excited -- we've finally gotten somewhere thanks to your leadership, so thank both of you. we name things after politicians all the time. i hope that you supervisors someday have a school or a rec center or something here in the city or your districts named after you. but i think that this is -- this is a pretty unique moment. this is a unique opportunity to name a piece of our city that is truly a ga

t a legendary playground this is and in the city of san francisco. standing with some other guys earlier today also born and raised san francisco kids and we came here when we were little and remember the slide and the cardboard and getting some air off of some of the jumps. but what an amazing place this is. look parks are the heart and soul of our city. it's what we are all about. we have such amazing leaders like phil ginsberg. thanks so much to the parks alliance and drew congratulations to everybody. happy easter happy passover, have a great weekend everyone. >> thank you, mayor. give it up for mayor farrell again. next up we could not do this would you tell us the leadership of the rec and park commission and here representing them is commissioner alan lowe. >> thanks drew. also want to thank our general manager who really brought us together but really the stepping stone kids to tell us old folks hey, let's get this fixed. and this is a great example of the city coming together in a time of need and just getting it fixed and done. on behalf of the recreation and park commi

initiatives with the city of san francisco i think will forever change the course of history. one was as a young lawyer on the same-sex marriage case back in 2004 which was a series of litigation that gave rise to prop 8 overturned by the supreme court validating gay marriage and the second was saving public housing. it was a super courageous thing mayor lee did. others might say those are federal buildings, federally funded, not my problem and he did the opposite and said we're a wealthy city. we have wealth of knowledge and treasure and talent and we're going to take over the buildings. and those are the kind of entrepreneurial courageous feat we celebrate in the city. the private sector, technology, doesn't have a monopoly on entrepreneurship. it exists in city hall as well. we're excited to hear the stories from you. i want to recognize our elected officials today. carmen chu and dennis herrera, hilary ronman and former mayor willy brown. also our sponsors for this event, rich housing corporation and san francisco international airport as well as our city government sponsors and c
