I believe based on a calmer station last week and we will hear from ms. Mason from the department of Human Resources that i would need to operate amendment to delete line 4 on page 30. Why we hear from ms. Mason president breed supervisor Suzanne MasonEmployee Relations director and as a followup to last weeks questions by supervisor peskin regarding the pns classification code 3246, i had the opportunity to talk with the recreation and parks rector Phil Ginsburg who explained that there werethere are two individuals still listed in the 32 46 classification. Though, because its an as needed classification they have not worked in a number of years. They still were in the specialized classification. The department has taken to using a more broad based classification for recreational leaders and specials. Pier no for teaching and playing a cultural event use the 3279 pacification of recreation leader. As such, the 30 2 46 pm best classification needs to go through a process of releasing the employees in that class will not work for us for many years have outside employment. Then, abolishing the classification which will take a little time but we are going to initiate that we appreciate the issue being raised to our attention because when we look in the personnel system we saw the two individuals in the class. So to date before you, and i have the revised ordinance, we are proposing to eliminate the pns 3246 classification on page 30 of the ordinance. Supervisor peskin i would move deletion of line 4 on page 30. Supervisor peskin has made a motion seconded by supervisor and he could can we take that without objection .

Provides a kim thank you president breed get number of questions of, about the establishment of the ise and i do start director of Treasure Island development here today. Mr. Bob back and i would like to bring him up for some questions from myself and colleagues. Just to give lip a little history context in 2011, one of the Treasure Island dda was coming before the board of supervisors, we had been learned about the potential dissolution of the Redevelopment Agency. At the time we were not sure if gov. Browns proposal would go through but just in case we had converted the Treasure Island development a project under the Redevelopment Agency and we instead converted it to an ifd project. One of the losses of moving from a redevelopment Financing Mechanism to an ifd is of course there is less funds we are allowed to set aside for the production of Affordable Housing. What we were fortunate about is that there is currently already Affordable Housing on site that we pleased that you may housing partnerships could the pile sure as well as [inaudible] 360 and i is the to about jurisdictions to rebuild existing Affordable Housing units. That was how we were able to maintain their lead high levels of affordability and not the original 30 that have been committed to what was a Redevelopment Area plan. Under some intense negotiations, we were still able to keep the affordability of the island 227. 5 . That was finally negotiated with the developer that year. We are now moving forward with a resolution to establish the ifd district for Treasure Island. Of course, during the time when the major issues that come up of concern to this board is the financing gap we are now seeing for the Affordable Housing thats been committed to build on that island i know this came out several months ago. We asked the Mayors Office of housing and tida to submit funding and financing plans for how we would build the committed a former Housing Units and director back, i was hoping you could answer questions in regard to that. I know my colleagues supervisor peskin has questions as well. Welcome mr. Beck thank you chairman, members of the board. Yes, bob back with Treasure Island development agency. Supervisor to him give me give you quite a bit of background on the program on Treasure Island and how we came to the program we are attempting to move forward today. I could go into some background on the irfd and cft but in brief, the tax and prevent redevelopment Tax Increment Program that was anticipated for Treasure Island has been replaced by a combination of infrastructure and revitalization financing district and Community Facilities district supplemental tax financing for the development of the island. The plan does call for us to create those districts to reimburse developer for certain qualified project costs as well as the irfd does commit 17. 5 of its proceeds under our financing plan to the financing of the Affordable Housing. With we had a number of things over the past five years that have caused us to have a gap on the former housing and financing good first, there has been a tremendous run up in the cost of construction. In 2011 when we were estimating 220 a square foot for the construction of the Affordable Housing we are now looking at costs on the wood of 325 a square foot were about a 50 increase in the cost of construction. The base plan in 2011 was for 25 with the option to increase that to in excess of 27 of supervisor kim indicated. We are pursuing that higher level of affordability but thats an additional 10 increase in number of units we are trying to deliver. So that also adds to the gap. Then, also, in 2011 there were certain federal i merrily funding streams available to us that was assumed would either still be available or would be replaced by similar federal funding streams. That is not materialize. Theres also a shortfall of revenues that were expected in 2011. So thats what contributed to our gap and so right now we are looking at how can we address that gap. First, there are some issues legislative that we be interested in pursuing at the state level one is in. One is recapture of the state share of property tax increment. That will result from the development program. Currently, the dissolution of redevelopment thats no longer available to us but if a portion of that state revenue, that state windfall, were available to us that would help us with youthat could help us with the Affordable Housing side of the equation. Secondly, would be we would be interested were looking at extending the term for the infrastructure revitalization and financing district from 40, 245 years. Again consistent with the term under redevelopment which would give us an extended permit under which to capture tax increment. In addition, there are both grants and tax programs we are exploring, pursuing the states Affordable Housing and Sustainable Grants Program which is a Greenhouse Gas funded program, Carbon Tax Program at the state level as well as new market tax credits as potential sources to help us with the development of the funding. Also, we are looking at local revenues that will be generated in addition to the tax increment as a part of this project. First, out of this local share of tax increment and 56. 7 of the 1 is dedicated to the project financing while 8 of the property tax is subordinated available for coverage on that debt issuance. If that 8 were available to fund the Affordable Housing, you wouldnt necessarily increase the amount we could leverage but it would help us fund over time additional housing. The other local revenue stream is Motor Vehicle license fee payments that come to the state could this is an in lieu payment of property tax Motor Vehicle license fees that come from the state to the city that is based on property tax and could potentially be leveraged as those revenues increase as a result of the increased Property Values on the island. So those are some of the strings would that we are working with the office of Public Finance, the Comptrollers Office mayors budget staff and Mayors Office of housing to explore how we can best get these opportunities together to make a sizable impact on the shortfall and then looking at other smaller grants programs as well as potential costs control and Cost Containment measures to bring down the overall cost of the units to close the gap. Those are our strategies we are exploring are happy to take questions. Just for the sake of the public, exactly how large is the financing gap for the Affordable Housing component . We currently have a crap of 380 million. Looking at all measures we can to close that gap. Thats on the total budget of 971 million. How long have we been aware of this gap . About a year or so weve been working on quantifying it and finding ways to strategies for containing it over the course of your have we pursued any of the strategies that you have just enumerated as potential ways that we can contribute to the financing gap . Well the first exploration was to see whether the climate would be in sacramento for reconstituting redevelopment with the city could share and the state share of the [inaudible] share of property tax increment. Unfortunately, this doesnt appear to be a time where we would be able to get that signed by the governor in sacramento although there does appear to be a great deal of support for an idea like that within the assembly. So we are hopeful that as the continued to move forward that is an idea we can gain traction on and potentially explored the that might be to take a couple years for us to implement Something Like that. I know that we had actually tried years ago we had asked sacramento and state sen. Mark leno to explore an exception for Treasure Island similar to what we explored with the Warriors Arena and we were not able to get Treasure Island and the governors r the governors rexim worried one of the biggestssed oppositionerase our financing gap is one thats not realistic. Given that this is one of the major priorities was to call back that funding back to the state for their own budgetary uses. So i guess i would express some concern being that we been aware of this gap for now a year and we are pursuing and of all of the proposed solutions that youve listed, the only one that we have been exploring is one that doesnt seem like its going anywhere. The on the assembly. I get that. Many members of the assembly are supportive of this which is great but its very hard to get the finish line without the governor signing the bill. Yes. Understood. That one may be may not be the first step in closing the gap as you indicated. It may require a new administration for us to be with to successfully move that forward. We did also apply this year for Affordable Housing and sustainability communities grant. Unfortunately, in the current cycle the first two Affordable Housing parcels will not be available for development within the expenditure timeframe for this years grant cycle. So our application was limited to transportation improvements but next false application we do we intend to pursue supplemental funding to both of the first two projects that we will be moving forward with how much is that for . The first two projects the total need is on the order of 29 million. We believe we could meet that with project generated sources today but if we are able to secure grants that would help offset some of that that would give us more project sources for future projects how much can we apply for in a program of the 29 million . Im sorry i dont have that but i believe it would be in excess of 15 million we could apply for. In excess of 15 or 50 . B was 15. In this cycle. Our application for this past year i believe was for just transportation improvements every was a total of 21 million. Supervisor kim did you have any additional questions . Not at this time okay. Supervisor peskin thank you mdm. Pres. I think to present kim as many of the questions i was going to ask. I does one put it into a larger context which is in 2006 when the board of supervisors originally passed a resolution supporting the term sheet that was negotiated at that time it was actually a 30 Affordable Housing deal at an average of i believe, 50 of ami. Later on in this actually happened in advance of the Development Going by the wayside, it was dropped to 25 is crept up i believe the 7. 2 , but that promise will not be met if we cannot figure out how to solve the 300 million funding gap over time. As i think while i appreciate the work that mr. Beck and his team have done over the last year that throwing out general ideas about how we are going to do this isnt enough. I think we need to really have it written down series of strategies. We should understand with their impacts are to the general fund and we should really determine which of those strategies are likely to get us to the 300 million could at this point, i would say that only half of that 300 million we have a strategy for filling. So what i like to see is a more robust, beyond talking about it but written down plan and i like the comptroller and the mayors of it not Mayors Officeit tells you how old i am the opposite Public Finance which is now in the consulars office to look at those and inform the board on it before we pass these five items. I know there are a number the ifp is coming to budget and finance, i believe, next week. So perhaps we can continue these items and let those catch up here in a couple of weeks maybe we can have a more robust written down plan as to how we are going to close the gap. Supervisor peskin you are continuing the item to a date certain . At the board we have to continue it to a date certain. So width you want to specify . Lets see. There is no meeting on readers were least not yet so i would say november 15. , present. Mdm. Clerk b was i just want to point out supervisor peskin the noticing requirement is been set for two separate hearings of four items, 13 it sets the summer six 3 pm hearing in addition to item 10. december 6 date what if the dosing requires around those bottom clerk speaker . It would be four consecutive weeks supervisor peskin. Mdm. Clerk we can move that were amended to a later date. For example december 13 instead within the specific resolution. I believe mdm. Pres. It would kick it up to january hearing. Okay. Supervisor peskin that is fine okay. So we willyou are making a motion to continue this to the meeting of november 15 2016. Mdm. Clerk for that should we make any amendment to the resolution . Mdm. Pres. We can make those amendment at the november 15 meeting okay, great. Supervisor peskin has made a motion to continue these items to the meeting of november 15, 2016. Is there a second . Second by supervisor avalos. Supervisor tang thank you. Maybe if the directors supervisor kims office can answer wanting to know if theres any impacts to the continuance of items . Yes. The obvious one has been noted which is it will push it out to next to january. We are moving forward the developer is moving forward with projects on the island. So there is some urgency to setting up the financing districts, but as long as we continue to move the process forward i dont think theres a fatal flaw looking it up to january. Thank you. Just before we vote on the continuance i just would like to express a strong desire to see something a lot more concrete than what was presented today in terms of how we are going to address the gap because thats really important. With that mdm. Clerk please take roll call on that into instant over 15 for item 1014 supervisor cohen aye farrell aye kim aye mar aye peskin aye tang aye weiner aye yee aye avalos aye breed aye campos aye garg 11 aye those items will be continued to the meeting of november 15, 2016.

Supervisor weiner thank you for much mdm. Pres. Collies, before us today is legislation of keep San Francisco on the environmental sustainability cuttingedge specifically my making us the first city in the country to adopt a green roof requirements. Colleagues, you will recall earlier this year you pastwe passed it unanimously legislation i authored to require installation of solar panels on the roofs of New Buildings between one and 10 stories in San Francisco. This legislation which was initially intended to be part of that legislation but for variety of reasons would split off as separate legislation, will complement that legislation by providing an alternative to cover 30 of the rooftop with as a green roof were living roof. There are some buildings where it makes more sense to do a green roof solar panels. There are other situations where people would choose to mix the two and have both solar panels and green roofs. Clean roofs have significant environmental benefits. The increased Energy Efficiency of the building. They absorb carbon. They also absorb storm water in order to have less storm water runoff in our sewer system. They are just a terrific addition to any rooftop and any in any neighborhood and we need more of them in San Francisco. Some proud of this legislation did i want to thank under its power in my office for working on it as well as the department of environment which partnered with us on it it as well as the Planning Department.

Be without the ordinances passed unanimously on the First Reading [gavel] lets go to roll call for introduction supervisor cohen is the first supervisor to introduce new business they give a much mdm. Clerk and mdm. Pres. Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and colleagues. Got a number of items im discussing here today im excited about to introduce a package of entitlements for the redevelopment of potrero hill in sunnyvale because inside. These Development Agreements and planning code changes are the combination of years, years of Community Based planning and bring us closer to fulfilling our promise to revitalize these developments. Now these two particular properties of the citys largest and most challenging Public Housing sites. They suffered from years of deterioration isolation and lack of investment in health and safety to their residence. But instead of getting discouraged many of the residence worked with the city and to selected developers to bring forward the vision that we have before us today. This vision includes rebuilding and replacement of 1394 public Housing Units. That is 619 in potrero hill and 775 in sunnydale. To ensure that every resident currently living in these two sites can remain in the new community. At least 349 Affordable Housing units across both properties Additional Market units, and 92,000 ft. 2 of new Community Serving retail across these two particular sites. Thats nearly 7 acres of newly publicnew Public Access to open space on the two properties. It also includes a new Community Childcare facility Victor Norman yee. Billions of dollars of investment in infrastructure included connecting these two sides to adjacent neighbors and ensuring of course these sites neighborhoods are safe and walkable communities. So since joining this board up and able to work with many of the stakeholders to make this real transformative investment in rebuilding our city Public Housing sites. In the last few years we have moved residence into a we built hunters of you and Broken Ground on the building house griffith. Now a video about it into the revitalize area hunters view you can see theres a tremendous difference that the tremendous difference thats made to the families living in the development onsite on the property and just as important, but equally these to be acknowledged, the fantastic contribution that this revitalization is add to the overall neighborhood, to the overall bayview community. It is safe. It is clean. That is exactly how housing should be. Something that all residents should have access to in San Francisco. Living in Public Housing should not mean you should have to endure substandard or unsafe conditions but unfortunately in some parts of San Francisco that is still the case. These agreements i have to admit theyre very thoughtful. They are a comprehensive approach to transforming the site into thriving both he and mixed Income Community in partnership with residents who are currently living there. So i look for to moving these items expeditiously through the Committee Process so we can take another step forward transforming these sites the lives of the residents that live in them. The next item, the next items, are related to the status of the old potrero station located 2200 potrero 20 303rd st. In the dogpatch neighborhood. Theres been two fires in the last three weeks in this abandoned building. Now this is a beautiful building. It would not be the first time that weve seen a fire and unfortunately, i wanted activity in this Historic Property get why this building is currently on the Surplus Property list, i believe its incredibly important that we keep this property secured. That we keep it safe and in the best condition possible while we work with the city and the community to determine the longterm and sustainable use for this particular building. I like to ask the cover of real estate to ask for how much to provide an estimate of how much it would cost to adequately secure and protect this building particularly paying close attention to the historical facade. It could include items such as motion sensor lights, security guards, or im open to suggestions on what it would take to secure this asset. In this vein i like to make a request for the controller to dr. Supplemental appropriation based on the said estimate cost to adequately secure the and protect the old potrero Police Statement all be bringing that forward to the full board inexorably. Thank you. The rest i submit. Thank you supervisor cohen supervisor farrell i the number of items to get our think supervisor avalos trainees and mars mission 10,000 soldiers and veterans have been ordered by the pentagon to replay enlistment bonuses that they served about union was enough in iraq and afghanistan. The height of the two wars in the early to Thousands National court in california offered bonuses to reenlist soldiers. After a federal investigation revealed an Army Sergeant was is been convicted of fraud authorize the bonuses and payments the soldiers and veterans had no clue at the time he spends one authorize the investigation the pentagon wouldve the money paid to the soldiers to be returned. Soldiers refuse to pay back their earnings at todays interest charges, wage garnishment syntax liens. Its really hard for me to imagine that we are asking people willing to suck price their lives for our country to be back money they earned serving our country. Today im in choosing a resolution calling on the California National guard and Us Department of defense immediately cease collection actions and urging our congressional leadership and easy to pass legislation that will fully absolve the students and veterans of their debts. I want to thank supervisor cohen for cosponsorship as well. Senators feinstein and bob pelosi and mccarthy as well as mayor lee are in support of the make me soldiers and veterans all i think the lease we could to show our appreciation and gratitude to the men and women went to suck price our lives for our country. Secondly, im introducing legislation and what to think supervisor mar was cosponsorship as well as cause much of i feel to mention last week on the mdu axis legislation. Fiber Speed Internet is the ureter is the future technology for delivering highSpeed Internet and is are interested in San Francisco continue to lag behind many other developed countries in other localities across the country, i do believe we need to prepare for the future. Part of the reason for the slower speeds is a lack of infrastructure needed to support fiber Speed Internet. Today im introducing a ordinance along with supervisor mar though mandate with a new subdivision is created during San Francisco the developers olusegun conduit for public use necessary to sport fiberoptic cable to deliver fiber Speed Internet. This fetus was simply implement a state law provision allows San Francisco to acquire new development by african Mitigation Services facilities. Mandating these new developments is all this infrastructure will lead to higher property dollars for the owners and faster internet for our residents and business. Its a winwin. The Innovation Capital the what we should be the forefront of advancing policies to take advantage of new technologies and services being offered that your think my staff for this as was the City Attorneys Office for working with me on this legislation look forward to your support. Lastly, introducing a ordinance or announcing a ordinance regarding a chronicle story that broke last week about two entities [inaudible] Yerba Buena Consortium running political campaigns by refinancing housing projects right here in San Francisco. What to come in the near term of legislation ensuring the will for the housing developer uses proceeds from publicly funded project to fund political campaigns but today im announcing legislation which targets another troubling aspect of the story. Clinical contributions to an llc are not subject to disclosure laws. Its a loophole that exist today the loophole we need to close. I think we can all agree especially as we sit here for the end of october that money plays an outsize roles International Sterling little little little fans can and one thing to have significant money in campaigns and who full disclosure of those indeed our local meetings writing every survey about whats happening in San Francisco but its entirely different and significant worse when entities are not required to disclose the source of their contributions. It is the definition of dark money notably we should stand idly by. We can control these entities the federal level we could but sunshine on them locally and ugly the voters of San Francisco deserve to know who are funding these local campaigns. Today im announcing legislation that will close this loophole. Simple and straightforward. What new Disclosure Requirements for llc escorts and other partnerships to contribute to local clinical campaigns and committees. Communities receive part contributions from these organizations required to disclose for things. The purpose of their business, and civil officers, whether or not they receive public funds from any level of government the actual two source of the contributions. These new disclosure requirement slack to be collected and disclosed to the Ethic Commission for the Public Record and ultimately would need the support of a super majority of the Ethics Commission and are board of supervisors for passage. I do believe we need to send a strong message that were not went to severe idly by while individuals and organize in situ hard to see dorset key contributions. I look for to sport the rest i submit thank you supervisor farrell supervisor kim width submit supervisor mar thank you. Today im introducing as a followup to our budget Analyst Report to Public Health equity and reducing alcohol sales in our community. I want to thank our ongoing Grassroots Community coalition the San FranciscoPrevention Coalition the leadership of Youth Leadership institute, ucsf alkyl policy working Group Department of Public Health. Our our San Francisco [inaudible] enter Police Department for ensuring were strengthening the voice of our committees building holding healthier todays regarding health equity. With our coalition we will be analyzing budget Analyst Report that we looking at our 10yearold socalled deemed approved ordinance with the products of this Grassroots Coalition with over 10, 15 years ago that advocated for it but also white our ordinance over a 10 year period has not achieved what it was set out to unlike other cities like oakland, and others that are passed similar legislation.

Supervisor peskin. Thank you mdm. Clerk colleagues today i asked we adjourn our meeting the memory of one of the great aggressive leaders of our time, tom hayden , who i had the pleasure of knowing. As a matter of fact he came to the chambers a number of years ago to urge us to pass the sweat free ordinance and its with Great Sadness that i learned of his passing on october 23. His wife Barbara Williams said he died in a hospital after being treated for heart problems. He fell in july while attending the Democratic National convention in philadelphia. He was of coarse a resident of the state of california in santa monica and passed away at the age of 76. Tom was many Different Things to different people but is undeniable that his brief was born out of a turbulent time in politics when calls for social reforms and civil right each day boiling point in the 1960s. In the counterculture civil rights in if you were movements of the time he was a radical thought leader deeply committed activists. He was a founder of sts students for Democratic Society, the defending Chicago Seven trial at the rights of the 1968 Democratic Convention in a peace activist who went on to Mary Jane Fonda after hearing her gift and passion in fewer speech. He escorted american prisoners of work home from vietnam. As a civil rights worker he was beaten in mississippi and jailed in georgia. In his cell began writing what became the port huron statement political manifesto of the sts and new left the division and alliance of College Students in a peaceful crusade to overcome what they called repressive government. Corporate greed and racism. The team was to create a multilingual and multiracial Egalitarian Society and like his allies rev. Martin luther king and sen. Robert kennedy were assassinated in 1960, mr. Hayden opposed violent protests but backed militant demonstrations like the occupation of the Columbia University campus building by students in the burning of draft cards. He rocked the boat were generally later in life with a Progressive Political agenda is an awardwinning amazingly prolific author his book trial covered his Court Proceedings that indictment by a grand jury with his fellow seven chicago defendants including Abbie Hoffman and bobby seale. He didnt talk numerous courses on social movements at scripps college, at Harvard University and it concealed college. And occidental caused each other class at ucla in protest from port huron to the present. He was the author or editor of 19 books including the long six use from 1960 two barack obama writing for a Democratic Society the tom hayden reader in his memoir, reunion, they also served on the Editorial Board of the nation. Of course, later hayden served in the California State Assembly for 10 years from 19821992 the state senate 19922000. Esther hayden was gov. Browns appointed chairman of the solar counsel which encourages Solar Energy Department from 19701982. As i said earlier, i the pleasure of working with him on our sweat shop, sweat free legislation along with my then colleague tom on beyond hope who had this to say recently with regard to toms passing. A note on tom hayden. Worked with him on sweatshop legislation that at first he was seized that then mayor newsom seems supportive. We try to get him give him a diplomatic heads up regarding nuisance policies and when newsom pulled the rug out from under him and stopped returning calls hayden burst into our office. Sentiment we do something i said welcome to our world. He settled on and continue to do great things for social justice cause. I knew other college would like to speak their grateful to have known this giant amongst men and social justice. Leaders the rest i will submit spews thank you supervisor peskin. Thank you supervisor peskin. Supervisor mar views thank you so much supervisor peskin for speaking about tom hayden. I will just say we would do him to teach a course at new College Law School when i was there. What an amazing history support her on statement was drafted by hayden and i think why to bother sts leaders at that failure i was born but it had an impact on the student movements and to student nonviolent court in committee and the Student Rights Movement i think the patient that came out of the port runs invisibly i think about everyday. The biggest visionary approach from radical and revolutionary politics into electoral arena something thats really important get lots of lessons she taught us and what an amazing figure that impacted the youth movements of the 60s to civil rights and even how we look at it looked oral politics today. I will miss him greatly and do want to express thanks to supervisor peskin for raising his name in the backseat had on our city and our country and world. Thank you supervisor mar. Supervisor weiner. Okay. Supervisor yee. Spews thank you mdm. Clerk. Thank you mdm. Clerk it today on cementing legislation for file 160019. I have dedicated my life my whole life making San Francisco familyfriendly familyfriendly city and a supervisor at work to increase investments to pass legislation to accomplish that. In january this board passed a ordinance to increase childcare impact fee which is an important step in increasing funds for the construction of Childcare Centers with this alone will not address the unmet needs for quality care for our citys children. There are currently over 3200 children on a waitlist for childcare. The legislation im introducing today has gone through a number of revisions and i continue to work tirelessly to address the comments we have received. This legislation will be the first in the nation creating a program to give developers who are looking at least 10 of portal units the option to dedicate Housing Units to Family Child Care. If passed, this program would be the first of its kind in the nation. Developers of Residential Rental projects will have the option to dedicate to three units dependent on the size of the projects to be dedicated to these Family Child Care programs. This would allow them to receive a decreasing amount owed for the childcare facilities impact fee. We have a tremendous unmet need of families for quality child care and just would be this would be a way to start addressing some of this. I strongly believe this legislation would lead to the creation of dozens of Family Child Care homes units that would have the potential of assisting hundreds of families in the future. I look forward to working to have the support of my colleagues as this legislation goes through the process to be used as a tool to help address the tremendous unmet need of the citys children and families. The rest i submit. Spews thank you supervisor yee. Supervisor avalos i made guttural nothing to submit thank you supervisor avalos. Supervisor breed spews submit your supervisor campos thank you mdm. Clerk. Mayor lee and i dont always agree on some of the issues that come before the city but we do agree in principle that the development benefits to stay in the neighborhoods where development is taking place. So it is i am very thrilled today to work with mayor lee and introducing introducing legislation that allows fees from residential developments of 25 units or less to remain in the neighborhoods with the new development is actually being built. The fees we used to purchase buildings are longterm tenants who are at risk of being evicted and then using the proceeds to turn those units into permanently Affordable Housing. Currently, developers can meet there for the housing requirements by building the market rate units on the project site, on another site or by paying a city wide fee. The legislation that the mayor and i are introducing today offers 8 4 choice. This fourth choice would be to allow that the fees actually stay in the neighborhood by investing in a Small Site Acquisition Program which, in turn, can be used to purchase small buildings that the greenhouse tenants at risk of displacement are within a mile of the market rate developments. The deposition fund was started in 2014 is a ready stabilized 78 units of existing housing at work with the Mayors Office of housing, the district 9 office has sought and won almost 1000 units of Affordable Housing or the last few years. This legislation will allow even more permanently Affordable Housing to come online in record speed. If the nextgeneration of San Francisco is going to be able to get here in the city we need to make sure that the government and benefits actually stay in the neighborhood where the development is taking place. Again i want to thank the mayor and his staff. I also affect the council on Community Housing organizations. The Residential Builders association, which is also approached us about this Important Program and the small site project lead for their incredible work on this effort. I also want to acknowledge the work of sheila hagan in my office who worked diligently to make this possible. The rest i submit thank you supervisor campos.

Speed speed thank you next speaker, please. My name is joseph and there is somethi cohe youre looking at [inaudible] i had printed up just for you and i thank you. It says sparrow childrens park. Its a name created to express the possibility of a new part in San Francisco located just below [inaudible] target arun peskins district number three. Aaron has known about this for a long time. I found out about a year and half ago and ive been working with great commitment and now with a group of seven other people. We very much want this park to occur as opposed to a triplex condominium complex which has been approved and we pray to god and to this wonderful board of supervisors, and you are very committedmy daddy brought me up to politician the he said respect the president when they are elected.

My time is up. Thank you for listening thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. I like to put this up, effeminate sfgov tv, please i was really glad to see what looks like 3000 of the fallen gone across the street i was listening to Michael Savage on case about and i told him you should call [inaudible] 7482 and get in your story with him. I remember he was interviewing donald trump and i literally was yelling and screaming out the window, turn your radio 2k sfl. Seriously. Donald trump called and to Rush Limbaugh today get cranked up my radio was doing the same thing. Hillary clinton wont go on talk radio. She can handle free speech. But donald trump goes on all of them, man. All of them. He is not afraid. He may disagree on this or that but is not afraid because is an honest man. Hillary is going to shut down talk radio i cant help but think a great laugh out loud ago if you google the reason hairpiece joe base thats his name hillarys hairpiece annies giving her orders and she barked like a dog and honestly got to do that with that woman we did to nebuchadnezzar we called around like an animal. For seven years did he can do that to hillary clinton. I cant help but think in these days that were living in this is date 7000 523 from the end of the times of the gentiles which ended 25 from one king nebuchadnezzar destroyed the temple in jerusalem and thats a very important date in quite remarkable that the following day began the year of jubilee. The 70 jubilee and the Matthew Henry commentary we read that the 70 weeks fell in sequence with the jubilee cycle. This is the only prophecy in the Old Testament that gives us the precise year that christ would die on the cross for our sins. 70 weeks before it happened. Thank you next speaker, please. [inaudible] all the petitioners [inaudible] for our people. Dangers back to security that would secure everyone and having full guarantee for the commonwealth of a peaceable kingdom. You must [inaudible] in delivery of [inaudible] in helping out people of their difficult days. We must reach out to the people with two principles for the awakening. We must make Good Progress of true justice to prevail firstly, one practices the cultivation of heavenly heart. Secondly one practices the cultivation of good virtue upon one subject thirdly, one practices the cultivation [inaudible] for the promotion of wholly immersed. One has to work on good reasoning and to understand of principles for profitable practices of elevation. [inaudible] sincere practices [inaudible] once credible [inaudible] for making a commonwealth of true success. Of having a spirit of true self nature of [inaudible] humanity. Thank you next speaker, please. Thank you president breed and all the coconspirators. My name is still christopher doll and i live at six and howard 10 blocks in less than 40 years from sea level. I rise to comment on crimes against humanity. For all the hours and hours candidates have spent debating each others lack of morals or lack of intellect, backup solutions, the hours spent comparing the size of their hands the size of their wallets, the overspend measuring the color everybodys soul and of everybodys skin, for all those hours and hours there were but a few errors seconds when someone discussed the health to our planet and gave a thought for our climates. How long did it take to say, Climate Change, i think l changes important. Elsewhere putting the word conspiracy in the same sentence with Climate Change was not well thought out. To be true, must think member avalos for focusing our attention for some moments on that very subject. His remarks were much more relevant to the issue get far shorter than the whole challenge of actually responding to Climate Change require meds could that little time spent here quite overshadows how very little the candidates spent on the problem. We may now confront crimes against our constitution or crimes against our trust but in their collaborative silence the candidates commit crimes against humanity. Thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon supervise. My name is rob poole with Housing Action coalition and i hope you are having a good day. I just want to visit a topic thats making a lot of headlines lately that is housing for the homeless. I believe theres about a month ago in this room you discussed a local developers idea to build new housing for San Francisco was population that the microcap. Theres 160 squarefoot steel modular units and this will actually be coming to San Francisco on monday. They will have 160 squarefoot microcap park literally a knife and Mission Street for the public to walk inside and check out. I think these next two weeks as we are terrific opportunity to the public to actually see tangible solution to what has been a chronic problem in the city and many other cities. For decades. Justin the past week, just microcap itself has been in a lot of articles. Theres a lot of challenges and issues around it. It will take a while while to resolve it [inaudible] and try to learn more about this potential solution is a couple things we need to keep in mind in that just last year we recorded over 6600 Homeless People in the city. We spent over 251 million to address homelessness in the numbers only been going up. Government subsidies are dwindling and Construction Costs continue to skyrocket. So if theres a solution out there that can build homes for those without a home affordably and that makes a real impact without using additional public subsidies that we dont have, we believe that it deserves your attention and i hope you can check it out. Its going to be a knife and Mission Street just out out outside the panoramic building and i hope you can spread the word as well. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon supervise. My name is thomas mcdermott. I would like to comment on a few things that dont necessarily meagerly pertain to you but pertain to us all. I think the rather vicious president ial campaign is an indication of a nation distress. Donald trumps ascendancy indicates the satisfaction with the manner in which the country is going to the nations political representatives need to address the fundamental problems that are impacting the country. Wages have been stagnant in the us for about 30 years. Yet there has been enormous increase in productivity and financial growth. The number of people incarcerated in this country is an indication of a nation extreme distress. People dont belong in prison. They belong in the workplace. Contributing to the Family Community and to nation. The enormous Political Risk widths between the two parties in washington is not good for the contradict Climate Change is happening yet a large segment of the political within the political process dont believe this. The earth the planet is very sensitive place. We must treat it accordingly. As we go about living out our lives could this country needs genuine economic and political rejuvenation thank you. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Yes, Ronald Johnson get im asking for cooperation in opening up an investigation into criminal acts possibly embezzlement, extortion. There is fronted the building manager where i resided the ensuing u. S. Postal service mailed repeatedly, shredding up other paperwork for federal housing benefits for people. Also a lot of the tenants are noticing that theres a lot of frontage missing out of their payments from general assistance as well as Social Security and we are suspecting that the manager is taking the money somehow someway. Shes denying a lot of rights to the tenants as well. In violating shes trying to charge me for repairs. That is not my wrongdoing and not my cost, really. Its very wanted either very healthy lawsuit on filing against them. I want you to be aware of that. I want you to assist me.

You might be still making his way back. All right. Sorry. It is not here hes not here right now. Okay off to defer to another colleague at the moment with that, at this time we will recognize supervisor eric mar for the first commendation of today. Well first on the list for a long time this is great. Im really happy about the honorees today in celebrating filipino heritage month. The person chosen has had a huge impact on many young peoples lives in the education system. I described her as a master teacher. The best in the Laboratory Education tradition. As dr. Allison [inaudible] with allison could come forward good i see others that are here from filipinoamerican studies ethnic studies as well good allison was recently promoted to full professor in the college of ethnic studies at San Francisco state. Im going to veer off of my script to say that i think the 15 years of the creation of Educational Partnerships and Amazing Organization that looks up and nurtures young people and educators from the Filipino Community is incredible. Her leadership in establishing ethnic studies in our San FranciscoUnified School District and our city is amazing could often the politicians take credit for everything that is because of allison and the youth from chinatown city cdc to Filipino Community center and terrys can be honored later, but a youth that lift us up and make it easy for the politicians on the School Boards or board of supervisors to claim credit. But credit should be due to the Grassroots Movement that allison has nurtured is an amazing not only laboratory educator but organizer in our communities. She also is a faculty member in the Doctor Program for Educational Leadership in sf state school of education. Beyond teaching shes incredibly dedicated to the Filipino American community to respond to the lack of social academic and emotional challenges in the lives of youth. In 2001 she founded Educational Partnership benefit 30 educational island that creates partnerships and programs that works toward social justice i would just say art concordia and other [inaudible] ethnic studies requirement. Silly cat allison that management is inspiration not just emerging from Balboa High School but studying for money other schools in our School District. I dont think the state of california would have passed the ethics studies for all without strong leadership from the grassroots and the bottom up. Pat sent hundreds of students to college, graduate school and credential programs e. G. Were proud to a produced hundreds of critical transformative teachers and 20 of them to doctorate programs all of which are serving their communities and social justice organizations in teaching in schools and colleges across the nation. I just want to say that empowerment within pap is critical. Frank scott will have a quote each generation must undergo to the obscurity discover a mission to fill philip perpetrating good i think what pat and allison do is really looking up a new generation to fulfill their mission of community empowerment. Also on language the quality is part of our working pap, shes developed a curriculum with School Districts bogus on filipino language in the Elementary School level from longfellow to many other schools. The Filipino Education Center to Betsy Carmichael and many other schools. Also related to that whenever major accomplishments as work with community organizations. Again to pass the ethics studies policies in our School District which is spread to other cities as well. Shes a consultant the School District on developing the curriculum along with concordia from balboa high and others. Shes worked with a coalition of teachers, students and youth to pass different policies are many different levels. Now to some critical accomplishments. She cofounded the institute for sustainable Economic Educational environmental designer we are shes the director of culturally and Community ResponsiveCurriculum Development and teacher training. She also has received 2 min. Oh words from universities and grassroots and Community Groups for her work. Most recently uclas distinguished young alumni award and 10 years ago Faculty Service award the office of Community Service learning from San FranciscoState University which is granted to only one faculty member au. Five years ago she was designated as the sewage faculty work for service for sf state where the highest awards given to a faculty member. Two years ago she won awards and Community Community advice you were from the critical educators for social Justice Group and the American EducationResearch Association could also our association of Asian Studies give her the work of engaging scholar and to top it off she was named as one of the 100 most influential filipina in the world. Along with her work in both academia and in the Community Partner [inaudible] from balboa also a teacher and Athletic Director coach jujitsu instructor, the partnership has greatly influenced the interest from their date interdisciplinary f along word. Essential part of her identity as an activist as an educator in her life is her being a mother to her daughter [inaudible] totter so much about how to act with love and hope. Congratulations to allison for the amazing work her first commitment to social justice and deep roots in our communities. Allison, [inaudible] [applause] do i get to Say Something . Okay. You have to Say Something now. In the book that you held up pedagogy of the oppressed, Paolo Ferrero said liberation is like childbirth. A painful one. When you list the listing also vital to back hurting. I think partially because i think thats what we do. We are constantly giving childbirth. As a community, i feel like this award really is for pap. Its for i see its for all the people who fought for ethnic studies. To me, its about the community that is not only just bursting birthing children. I mean not birthing projects but also raising these projects. I mean we race as a community i really want to appreciate not just thank you for giving me the work, eric, but really its all of us who been working towards this Work Together including you thats me this all happened so, thank you, thank you and appreciate the continued work that you all are doing both locally and also you are getting continued to move on to the state and National Levels could really appreciate all the work this board has been doing.

You try to do a Small Business in the city and i am honored by some of the other other two people in that the body of work they have done, but one of the things is a Small Business in trying to survive in the city, some of the areas San Francisco and especially my shop in the mission, and some of the shops i had on castro and in the and haight press. And in the north was to these areas had empty storefronts. It wasnt like we have today where its one of the most expensive cities if not the most expensive city to live in. Its getting harder and harder for smallbusiness to survive but one of the things as a Small Business is to get involved get involved with the local merchant community, getting involved with the supervisors and there is an effect that can happen and that happened with me. In the mission which is now one of the hippest places on the planet. Specifically, valencia. Sometimes you are a victim of your own success is now he stay in place for 2025 years and its very difficult to continue and i would hope that this would resonate with this board that its difficult for me to continue. Its very difficult to build a team and i know with some of the board over here and do a great job of making the city affordable for small cousins. And thank you for this honor.

Thank you. Hi, im l doing a special series about staying safe. Lets look at issues of water and sewer. We are here at the San Francisco urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco and im joined today by marrielen from puc and talk about water and sewer issues. What are things we should be concerned about water. You want to be prepared for that scenario and the recommendation is to have stored 1 gallon per person per day that you are out of water. We recommend that you have at least 35 days for each person and also keep in consideration storage needs for your pets and think about the size of your pets and how much water they consume. The storage which is using tap water which you are going to encourage. Right. Of course at the puc we recommend that you store our wonderful delicious tap water. Its free. It comes out of the tap and you can store it in any plastic container, a clean plastic container for up to 6 months. So find a container, fill it with water and label it and rotate it out. I use it to water my garden. Of course everyone has plastic bottles which we are not really promoting but it is a common way to store it. Yes. Its an easy way to pick up bottles to store it. Just make sure you check the label. This one says june 2013. So convenient you have an end date on it. And there are other places where people have water stored in their houses. Sure. If you have a water heater or access to the water heater to your house, you can drink that water and you can also drink the water that the in the tank of your toilet. ; not the bowl but in your tank. In any case if you are not totally sure about the age of your water or if you are not sure about it being totally clean, you can treat your water at home. There is two ways that you can treat your water at home and one is to use basic household bleach. The recommendation is 8 drops of bleach for ever gallon of water. You add 8 drops of bleach into the water and it needs to sit for 30 minutes. The other option is to boil water. You need to boil water for 510 minutes. After an earthquake that may not be an option as gas maybe turned off and we may not have power. The other thing is that puc will provide information as quickly as possible about recommendations about whether the water is okay to drink or need to treat it. We have a number of twice get information from the puc through twitter and facebook and our website sf water. Org. People should not drink water from pools or spas. But they could use it to flush their toilets if their source are not broken. Lets look at those issues. Sanitation is another issue and something people dont usually or like to think about it but its the reality. Very likely that without water you cant flush and the sewer system can be impeded or affected during an earthquake. You need to think about sanitation. The options are simple. We recommend a set up if you are able to stay in your building or house to make sure that you have heavy duty trash bags available. You can set this up within your existing toilet bowl and once its used. You take a little bit of our bleach. We talked about it earlier from the water. You seal the bag completely. You make sure you mark the bag as human waste and set it aside and wait for instruction about how to dispose of it. Be very aware of cleanliness and make sure you have wipes so folks are able to wash up when dealing with the sanitation issue. Thank you so much, here we are at the embarcadero. We are standing at one of locations for the street artists. Can you tell me about this particular location, the program . This location is very significant. This was the very first and only location granted by the board of supervisors for the street artist when the Program Began in 1972. How does a person become a street artist . There are two major tenants. You must make the work yourself and you must sell the work yourself. A street artist, the license, then submitting the work to a committee of artists. This committee actually watches them make the work in front of them so that we can verify that it is all their own work. What happened during the holiday to make this an exciting location . This would be a magic time of year. You would probably see this place is jammed with street artists. As the no, there is a lottery held at 6 in the morning. That is how sought after the spaces are. You might get as many as 150 street artists to show up for 50 spaces. What other areas can a licensed street artist go to . They can go to the Fishermans Wharf area. They can go in and around union square. We have space is now up in the castro, in fact. How many are there . We have about 420. Are they here all year round . Out of the 420, i know 150 to sell all year round. I mean like fiveseven days a week. Are they making their living of of this . This is their sole source of income for many. How long have you been with this program. How much has it changed . I have been with the Program Since it began 37 and a half years ago but i have seen changes in the trend. Fashion comes and goes. I think that you can still find plenty of titis perhaps. This is because the 60s is retro for a lot of people. I have seen that come back, yes. People still think of this city as the birth of that movement. Great, thank you for talking about the background of the program. Im excited to go shopping. I would like you to meet two street artists. This is linda and jeremy. Night said to me to print them nice to meet you. Can you talk to me about a variety of products that use cell . We have these lovely constructed platters. We make these wonderful powder bowls. They can have a lot of color. York also using your license. You are also using your license. This means that i can register with the city. This makes sure that our family participated in making all of these. This comes by licensed artists. The person selling it is the person that made it. There is Nothing Better than the people that made it. I would like you to meet michael johnson. He has been in the program for over 8 years. Nice to me you. What inspired your photography . I am inspired everything that i see. The greatest thing about being a photographer is being able to show other people what i see. I have mostly worked in cuba and work that i shot here in San Francisco. What is it about being a street artist that you particularly like . I liked it to the first day that i did it. I like talking to mentum people. Talking about art or anything that comes to our minds. There is more visibility than i would see in any store front. This would cost us relatively very little. I am so happy to meet you. I wish you all of the best. You are the wonderful artist that makes these color coding. Nice to me to. I have been a street artist since 1976. How did you decide to be a street artist . I was working on union square. On lunch hours, i would be there visiting the artist. It was interesting, exciting, and i have a creative streak in me. It ranges from tshirts, jackets, hats. What is the day of the life of a street artist . They have their 2536 in the morning. By the end of the day, the last people to pack the vehicle probably get on their own at 7 30 at night. Nice to me to condemn the nice to meet you. It was a pleasure to share this with you. I hope that the bay area will descend upon the plaza and go through these arts and crafts and by some holiday gifts. That would be amazing. Thank you so much for the hard work that you do.
