Lake county sonoma, napa and butte areas in their disaster and maybe a quick moment in our own minds and hearts about the lost lives there. I think its appreciated. And i also want to give particular thank you to our Fire Department, and our firefighters, who over the past week have not only gone up there in as many volunteer hours as possible, with equipment, hopefully we never have to use down here and hopefully, we keep our fires down, but in response to that tremendous disaster that you you already know the statistics on. 800 homes, thousands of peoples lives destroyed, that were there to assist. If it isnt medical and now perhaps our Public Health is being asked to submit Mental Health professionals to help. As our firefighters giving toys to kids who lost everything and giving them a chance to have some play as people rebuild their lives. That reminds me this is the 10th anniversary of katrina, and knowing that a huge disaster happens in the other counties constantly were more than observing and engaged in those not just to help, but to take Lessons Learned and about rebuilding and recovery and things we have been associating ourselves with ever since katrina where mayor Gavin Newsome allows me and others to represent the city and we took the opportunity not only to bring lawn mowers to help certain areas, but took our time to stand in areas that were devastated and wondered how our city would prevent that from happening . And in those moments it wasnt just wishful thinking, but brought that opportunity back and that is what began a more solid resiliency plan and volunteers and people from both berkeley and harvard. That studied it from all over the country, if not the world, to see what San Francisco and other places could do to anticipate better our expected challenges on both an earthquake, but also now more and more it can be the expected el nino, plus an earthquake, plus drought, plus anything else. And so this is my way of saying that we take every opportunity that we can to support you the others that are doing and then we learn. And then we take it back here. For el nino, as all of you know, all of the experts are predicting historic levels of flooding. I have already asked harlan for his favorite list of catchbasin sites that he and public works have already identified, and can already vacuumsuck all of that stuff and make sure that we dont have backups that will compromise our pedestrian vehicle, and access safety for everybody. But that is just the small stuff, relatively small, i think. We need to concentrate on those areas of flooding, but also prepare people for that particular aspect of our weather while were still into how were going to get out of this drought. And that is taking the opportunity to say thank you to the puc, because all of you there have been working hard to make sure that we do everything that we can to respond to the drought. I think we have done it effectively, that were at historiclevels of conservation. I can use my bill as one example. But i know that were always cautious of our water use in the city and i noticed everybody has got dirty cars, fine. Im accepting of dirty cars. I also want to say thank you to our city administrator. She has kept me very much informed on our lifelines, utility councils and what each of the big utilities are doing and practicing. Again, on the eve of yet again our i guess this will be the 26th anniversary of loma prieta next month, that we are also taking that as an opportunity to remind everyone that yes, that there were real shakes in piedmont, along the hayward fault. That is extremely that is right there its close. And its close enough that there is earthquake experts that are zeroing in on all of the different plate movements that are going on in Northern California if not even in the Cascade Mountains that i have been studying a little bit, because i have relatives up that way as well. We need to be very cognizant of that, and the same experts and some of them are working on early earthquake Warning Systems and im glad to see now there is a growing investment, where we can have a Warning System that would allow us to do some early things while the precious seconds are there trembling. We can also have some maybe automated things that help our Fire Departments keep the doors open, elevators get unstuck, these are all important things to consider as kind of lessonslearned and lets do better and lets keep on investing in the proper protocols for that. I know that were investing in our disaster Workers Program with our city employees. And making sure that we have both through the Lifeline Council and through our hr a robust return as best we can knowing there will be participation challenges. That we have to have the multiple modes coming back into the city, so that utilities and lifesaving support systems can be up. Most importantly, i need to remind everyone here to make sure you are personally prepared. There is no excuse for us not to be in the situation that we have, and we are the center of leadership and so we have got to have our own families and friends ready for this at any time. And then to have your departments that you are in charge of, you do the same thing for your top management. You ask them to be personally prepared, and to work on those things that get them freed up, so that we do what we do best, which is serve the public. I want the public to know that our investments in nert in resiliency programs is all in an effort to prepare for those 72 hours and we should never, ever be caught in an unprepared way. We should always expect this disaster to happen. Then its a planned response, not a surprise response. And that is the huge difference in San Francisco. We always want our disasters planned out in advance, so that we can take care of a lot more thingsand i think we have found out that when we do preplanning whether its in our fiscal arena or in any other event planning, we always have a great deal of success. And no less for Disaster Response and to be planned in every jurisdiction we have interviewed since katrina knows that when you make the fundamental investment, you will have some clear and better results, and the residents will feel that. Because they will be directly engaged in that effort. So with that, i just want to say thank you for being part of this council. Im proud of what the city is doing. Lets keep doing it and lets keep having an attitude of always been prepared. That is how less fear and more about the engagement that we have in front of us is going to be the standard always to be working with our communities. I know there is a lot more things that people want us to do, whether its Potable Water on the west side, whether its more paramedics to make sure ambulance responses are there, whether its ongoing investments like we have done with hiring more firefighters, paramedics and 911 callers and more equipment and more Police Officers, i think we have those resources. We have demonstrated in the budget this year with the nocuts budget for the city that queer were willing to invest in all these things to make our city. Nowhere else do i think its adequately prepared dem, and i know well be on display for fleet week as we emphasize wellbeyond the celebration of our military is the practice of a number of things that i have already seen the scheduled for and im excited to be participating in everything from the practice zones to the desktop practices with our you our coast guard, with our military, that would most likely be here in a major disaster. This continued practicing with them, so that our cultures within departments can get used to the names, the acronyms that they use, that we use, that we understand each others acronyms and get used to those things so we have good partners coming in and bringing good equipment and have the places to do it. Everything from debris management to supplies has to be here and we have to anticipate that. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you very much, mr. Mayor. As the mayor mentioned we are responding currently to the valley fire that was a very fastmoving fire, started a week ago saturday with 40 acres and by the time we woke up on sunday morning, i think it was almost at 40,000. So it was very quick. About 75,000 acres have burned now, and three lives have been lost, which is just very sad. Over a thousand structures. Its going to take them a long time to rebuild. The city has deployed from the Fire Department, from my office, from Public Health and from the puc, up to help in lake county. At the same time, the Fire Department is also still currently in butte county. I think you have six Engine Companies up there is deployed. So we really are providing a lot of mutual aid for our partners here in california during this very rough fire season. We have is deployed a total of 17 personnel just to the valley fire so far, and again, as i mentioned, well probably going on for many, many weeks we will be asked for help over that period of time. I wanted to mention just really briefly that we finished our urban shield exercise a weeking a. Urban shield has grown into a comprehensive fullscale regional preparedness exercise, assessing the overall bay area and the Regional Response capabilities related to multidisciplinary planning policies and procedures and specifically San Francisco was very involved with the yellow command exercise, which happened a week ago friday. What we were doing in fullscale exercise was simulating three different events around the bay area. Stimulated terroristtype of events or that is what we thought, but of course as you are in the middle of it, you really dont know what is happening. So as things are taking place in different counties, trying to pull the intel together, the information we had our joint Information Center activated. We had many, many personnel involved. We did a stimulation down at levi stadium for a soccer game. What happened is some kind of explosive device went off there, and so i think we learned a lot from urban shield. And every year it gets tighter and more people participate. San francisco had the most staff participating this year from fire, police, my office, health, puc. It was many, many different departments were participating. And it really is viewed on the nationallevel as the exercise to emulate. I was at the Femas National Advisory Council in washington, d. C. Last week. I had the honor of sitting on it and representing San Francisco and i cant begin to tell you how many people came up and asked me about urban shield specifically . And if they could come out and to partner with us and find out what we do. So more to come on that. I wanted to mention that fema requires us to do a Hazard Mitigation plan and keep it updated every three years. We did complete our Hazard Mitigation plan at the end of 2014. We covered climate change, and sealevel rise, temperature rise, precipitation changes, and we received Many National accolades and requests for guidance to integrate those new components into other peoples Hazard Mitigation plans. So again, i think we are viewed as leading the pack in that. Since our last meeting, we have had a number of different exercises. I mentioned urban shield and we had ebooltabletop series a 3part series. We did a massfeeding tabletop. We did fleet week logistic tabletop and as the mayor mentioned and you will hear more about today, there are additional exercises occurring in next week. We activated the eoc a number of times last year for the wonderful giants playoff and world series. The world series parade, our winter storms of 2014, its rather difficult to even think about winter storms today when its 90 degrees out. But new years eve, the warriors nba finals just to mention a few. The last thing im going to mention we try all the time to really reach the community about being more prepared. I think most of you, hopefully, all of you are aware of our sf72. Org. We use our outreach. We try to use special events to get the word out to people. This year in a very innovative fashion, i think we were at out lands with the table and simulating what people would do in an earthquake at outside lands and used the opening of the san andreas movie, the premiere as an opportunity to have a panel to discuss what you do in an earthquake . And to just you again highlight what we as a city are trying to do. Any means that we have to bring people into the fold and get them to be prepared at home and at work is something had a what that we look for. So thank you very much. And well move on to the next item on the agenda our el nino citywide planning. Mike dayton our ems director is going to be presenting to us. Thank you. I just wanted today to give you a little flavor of how the planning effort is going. Some of the assumptions that were based in the plans on, obviously on previous events. We had the great benefit of having our executive director anne serve as Incident Commander during the el nino 19971998 event. If the predictions hold true we anticipate see a lot of mudslides. In 78highway 101 in pasco cific pacificka was shut down at one point we had 80,000 people in San Francisco without power and if you think about people with access and functional needs things can really turn south when the power is out for an extended period of time. That is going to be informing our Planning Efforts. We opened up temporary shelters for the homeless and obviously, if its like last winter when we opened up, activated the eoc during the winter storm for three operational periods, we expect with el nino type of events its going to be a marathon of storms for the winter months. Were planing for a more extensive operational period. Also in 199798 we declared a state of emergency with 14 million in damages. So were anticipating similar damages during this year with if the predictions again, hold true. During the next month well be convening smaller plan groups and also holding a meeting october 2nd within our Faith Council and thank you michael for pulling that together. And by november 1st well have a revised concept of operations. We had a conop last year and were taking that and revising the base and dem will be staying in Constant Contact monitoring what the National Weather service will be in contact with state. And the feds and if there is a forecast for severe weather, and i mean that is high winds with a large amount of rain and isolated areas, then we will host a coordination call with all city departments and brief them on what forecast is. If the National Weather service agrees that earlier briefing to be part of the call, so you can hear it from the scientists and not the emergency managers. Based on those Conference Calls well take actions whether or not to activate . And that is all in support i know there is already prePlanning Efforts going on with the puc, the department of public works and we look forward to pulling them together with 311, and our dispatch center to really focus on the communications in next month to have a solid conops. That is where we are at with planning for el nino. Thank you. Thank you. Any questions about our Planning Efforts . [ inaudible ] agencies should be prepared, because its not going to be as fast a recovery [ inaudible ] thank you. Any other comments or questions . Thank you, michael. Thank you. Okay. Next on the agenda is our super bowl l update. Were all excited about super bowl l, anna sop is our dem Operations Coordinator and she is going to be presenteding. Hello and thank you for having me. Im here today to share our super bowl l Planning Efforts. We have been working with the Host Committee and work in partnership with the afl and events planned for the bay area. As many of you know the game is scheduled sunday february 7, 2016. Prior to that a week long series of events will be hosted in San Francisco. Nfl experience and were working with our firstresponders to identify how to continue to provide essentially you City Services seamlessly. This obviously requires multiple requires coordination with multiple safety agencies, a mix of federal, state and local municipalities and private sector. Within San Francisco, we have developed branches that we can work from that can be a point of contact for us. For instance Law Enforcement and sfpd has been working with us and escorts, traffic safety, tactical response. For the fire branch we have with chief francisco working with firerelated focus. For San Francisco, we have the City Services branch working with peter albert for transportation, Public Health, and all of the other different functions that are actually impacted with these events coming to the city. And we started to really when we focused on this with dem, we really looked to our firstresponders for a collaborative effort. So that we can maintain early communication and begin a series of exercises and we could look at operational awareness, planned development, and validation, training and exercise, and ultimately, leading up to operational coordination. We will have our Emergency Operations center active during the super bowl events. All stakeholders are invited to participate and assist with coordination and can i probably speak for the Police Department and multiple dpw and Fire Department will be operating in different instances. So we had three dates for the exercise series we held last month, the planning review workshop. We looked at planned assumptions and worked with martha cohen and moving forward were going to look next month in november 18th, good day tabletop exercise. This will be an opportunity to test our response plans locally, regionally as well with our federal agencies. Reviewing a list of events, looking at the street closures, sanctioned events, maybe unsanctioned events knowing that a lot of this may change, but really for us we want to know how we can provide, if we have an alarm fire how go we send response and ingress egress for Emergency Response vehicles . And then the third series of that would be the badday tabletop. We just want to focus really for this its an opportunity to focus multilevel response, say for instance a natural or manmade incident, say an extreme weather event, how do we integrate response and response in a timely fashion . Ultimately the objective for us is to test local and regional plan, santa clara and san mateo are all heavily involved and how to maintain a Common Operating Picture and share information . Not just vertically, but also horizontally. What systems are we using . What do we need to know . When do we need to know it . In closing that has been really for me personally and i think i can speak for at anne, we started early Planning Efforts in collaborating and finding out who needs to know information and our firstresponders have been very helpful communicationwise. That is all i have. We look forward to a very successful event and happy to be part of the process. Any questions . The impact will be to have good communication for downtown construction because there will be a week delay how to do the delivery, our office will work closely because street closures in those areas for construction and delivering materials and so forth. That is part of that transportation were contemplating how we accommodate the necessary movement such as commercial loading and construction that would be happening. [ inaudible ] parts of downtown that are essentially closed off, they are still buildings that are operating and construction and accommodate those needs. Mr. Mayor . If i may . Working closely with dpw [ inaudible ] i know those conversations are ongoing. We have been in two meetings last week director huis questions and points [ inaudible ] thank you, martha. Do you have anything to add as martha said . [ inaudible ] any other comments or questions . Moving right along then. Thank you, anna. Im going to do a real quick fleet week brief. Fleet week is right right around the corner. In addition, to the blue angels and spectacular airshow that we see the publicfacing side of fleet week, as well as the ships that come into San Francisco bay. There is a whole bunch of other activities that take place as well the city and county of San Francisco is organizing with the fleet week center for humanitarian assistance in Disaster Relief a series of events to help us train and prepare and get better as the mayor mentioned, responding with our military partners. So fleet week brings all of the first responders, federal, state and local government Disaster Response agencies together with the department of Defense Services to develop these relationships and plans in advance. So that when we need mutual assistance, when we do have some large event here in San Francisco, we know how to talk to each other already, and we have those relationships established. So just to highlight a few things that are going on outside of what you see in the air and on the bay, on monday october 5th were having a defense support civilian authorities discussion. Rehearsal of concept exercise. This is taking place at pier 50, exercise is designed and conducted by dem, in partnership with the port of San Francisco and the humanitarian assistance Disaster Relief group of fleet week. And we will rehearse decking the uss somerset outside of the bay, and then bringing it in and offloading supplies and staging at pier 50. So its going to be a really good exercise and were looking forward to it. On the 2nd the 6th of october rather, the marine corps will demonstrate the delivery of urban searchandrescue teams to San Franciscos postdisaster, mv22, that will land at Moffett Field and pick up teams and deliver them back to Moffett Field. Also on tuesday the 6th were going to be doing an interoperable training with Fire Department, and ems ride alongs. On wednesday, well be doing the Fire Department every year does urban searchandrescue and we have gotten feedback from military, who have gone through that; that they have been able to use the skills that they have picked up from sffd in place likes haiti, when they have gone to respond and found it very useful and worthwhile. On the 7th of october a medical pierto pier exchange at the marines memorial and on the 7th Senior Leadership seminars day one. We do twoday seminars tackling immediately subjects with the military and these are our seniors leaders throughout the entire bay area region. The first day of the seminar will focus on energy restoration. I know that is one of the mayors interest areas with the lifelines council. And the day concludes with a tour of the ship docked at piers 3032. Day 2 is the second day of the Senior Leadership seminar. On thursday, we also have an interoperable training with the navy and on saturday, actually friday saturday sunday this year, everyone who can should make it down to the marina green. We have a static display there at the humanitarian village, humanitarian assistance village and get lots of great information from all of the presenters and the different organizations who have booths there, along with being able to see the actual military capabilities that would be brought to San Francisco. So all in all, its a very exciting week, and we are very happy to be partners with the fleet week association. Weve identified a citywide concept of operations plan. We do this every year. Well be meeting next week to go over it with our key partners in the city, and this plan is designed to provide Situational Awareness for all of us. To just make sure that fleet week is not only a fun event, but its also a useful one that brings good learninglessons for us. Yes, micki . I have a question about your october 6th event veterans employment. We have currently a veterans hiring project that dhr where were seeing to be the employer of choice for veterans. So were hoping that there is a coordination. Please reach out to our Workforce Development staff to ensure that as the largest employer in San Francisco to make sure were there and part of the program and talking to our veterans about what opportunities in San Francisco employment as well . I believe that you are there already, but no, im really glad that you mentioned that. We will make sure that that happens. But we have been working with your department. Fantastic. Thank you. Also i would like to [ inaudible ] who is your contact . You can start with me. Great. Other comments or questions . Everybody come out and have a good time with fleet week. I hope that you all participate. Are there any were drawing to a close here. Are there any updates from Disaster Council members . We have a roundtable here. Anything that you wish to present . [ [ inaudible ] holding a number of trainings of personnel to go through that at the eoc. So finance and admin can continue to participate and related to el nino specifically, we are notifying all departments that because of the gradual or marathon nature of el nino were activating all the time keeping codes in an automated way, as well as in the accounting system. So your cfos will get messaging on this, so that they can calmly practice it before the storms come underway. If it doesnt come to pass at least they have a chance to practice with it. Excellent, thank you, todd. Any other announcements . Yes, tom . Last year actually this year because of the delay of the grants we have 200,000, chinatown for outreach. We have additional with two more districts were going to do another 100,000 for each district. One is western edition and one bay and hopefully we have enough people to outreach for the public to learn how to prepare for the seismic safety. Thank you. Anything else . Any Public Comment . October is a very busy month. 26th anniversary of loma prieta as the mayor mentioned and shakeup is in october. If you havent signed up for it yet, please do.

Valerie Brown who was here representing supervisor london breeds this is supervisor london breed district. All right. clapping. its been done equal good morning, everyone and happy day after labor day on a belevitated basis to thank our men and women in labor that was quite a few kind of a quiet day i was walking downtown and families were getting 82 together thank you were putting together to work housing is not just for those to focus on a lot of people looking for housing in a you are laborer force thank you to everybody that is standing behind me our board of supervisors, our housing professionals, our nonprofits, those departments that will help me implement the legislative policies that were introducing today and be in an amount with the supervisors in partnership and in particular the residents of the city that represent thousands of people who want more homes and want to make sure theyre affordable to them thats the focus of today is announcement housing that is affordable to low income and middleincome families promotes the very diversity that is the value that is the critical part of our city diversities, equality and economic vital are all the things we strive to allow our city to be the great city it is and San Francisco is a great city you know it and thousands of people who want to be here and the thoughts of more that want to stay here also know ts is a city that is a great city we are using this time of prosperity to make sure that all the residents can benefit as you may know just last year with the board of supervisors and the public we raised a minimum wage to the highest in the country. Already saw the first in a number of moves in the next few years to get it to the highest innovation weve worked with the private sector with our city departments to make your municipal transportation affordable today a very, very unique from any other American City across this country muni it affordable to the youth and seniors with disabilities thus making transportation a great part of how equal listing efforts weve invested heavy write in our Public Education not just the citys covers have been directly linked to helping the School District but you are private sector and the Technology Companies and our Innovative Companies are surrounding the schools circling the schools the schools with volunteerism and higher degrees than anytime and the Publicprivate Partnership are swelling that teachers and principals and those that support our Public Schools systems have this unique time have never felt more i think engaged with our City Government than ever before we made our kids and families a high appropriate we want them to win the jobs of the 21st century. But providing Affordable Housing to low income families is essential part of our challenge, in fact, it is probably one of the most complicated of all the things we do in government you cant just built the housing that we need you also have to Pay Attention to making sure that we preserve the housing that people are in that we make sure we stabilize neighborhood that are under a lot of pressure by different economic forces force people away from their homes with we have to rehabilitate existing that housing to make sure theyre up to standards, standards that i used to use to litigate against the Housing Authority with bad times now we have an opportunity to changes all of that thats why last year, i announced a very aggressive goal and goal that is shared by the board of supervisors and certainly one that we know can be accomplished by 2020, thirty thousand homes newly built and rehabbed and preserved by 2020 and guaranteeing that a third will be at the other end of the table of a lowerincome families and in addition more o more for middleincome families ive been called a lot of names i do enjoy being called the housing mayor even though i may go by many other names im sure to make sure the housing mayor sticks im going to work with the board we do all the things to stabilize neighborhood were making tremendous progress on those goals thanks to the collaboration that is going on with the handing out with the building inspection and planning, with the nonprofit Housing Development community, with the for profit market rate housing which youll hear in detail things to incentivize them and the board of supervisors. We need to build housing we also need to make sure that we are oiflt areas of the city whether lands or neighborhoods where we can quickly build and engage partners more effectively in meeting this challenge thats why were here today to launch a blue print youll see in detail think the screen shortly a plow print blue print introduce 10 thousand were assure that thought thirty thousand we build by 2020 that a minimum of 10 thousand, in fact, our numbers indicate to us well exceed the 10 thousand we want to make sure Everybody Knows a blue print to get to the 10 thousand permanently affordable units for lowerincome families while we set this baby boomer goal and package of legislation it represents this blue print whether you see this and you hear the support from the board of supervisors for those various policies youll know that we have an opportunity to exceed this 10 thousand with this fail working with the board im companionship 5 piece of legislation with the board of supervisors that will make sure that we reach this goal by 2020 let me begin with the first piece of legislation and thats focused on our Public Housing you know from my own history i worked with the public residents residents and satisfied with centralized poverty Housing Authority system we have i set on a pathway to convince hud housing an urban development federal partners our state agencies, of course, even our local housing tell us we had a better vision a vision that would use a program that is relatively new at hud called the rental as an deems short for rad that allows. To kind of leverage the Financial Investments that the Housing Authority are using but design them into a different way to incorporate Nonprofit Developers and for Profit Developers on the same sites to rebuild the housing and rehabilitate them and this rad program vet first phase will cause one thousand 4 hundred units to be rehabbed thats a cost of about 700 million and it is the phase one and one were introducing because we know that Public Housing is part of the lard for a lot of people if we dont rehab and allow those sites to create more density and figure out how to long lasting housing for lowerincome families well have a big hole in this effort so the legislation were providing today is basically, what we called bond financing you you know in this era of a good economics times were learning more and more well be introducing financial parkinsons passages that have everything to do with invest and leveraging and in this financial packages bond financing that allows us to borrow off of the public land that is owned by the federal government is a very creative way in using there rad program this money well borrow off about quickly preserve those homes now were doing to with the program call hope sf because we promised the residents in Public Housing u Housing Housing not to them but with them and hope sf is about drawing out the residents and their limp making sure they said and appreciate the designs we have to do with and all accident soufrnd support systems we have for the residents because they know more than anyone else that it is never just about the brick and mortar it is about investing in the people thats why we have Training Programs skill set programs that draw on the people that live in Public Housing to participate in the design, the acceptance and the building and in the new business of integrated housing that will be managed and run and invite into those jobs empty this very residents that live there those homes are vital to the wellbeing and safety of our most suitable san franciscans and thats why it is the first of the introduction of our policies the second legislative package we are introducing again with the board is called neighborhood preference too often all of us hear about families demand from their homes their neighborhood and friends and community losing our home is a big tragedy and compound when our demand from connections with nearby relatives or friends even with our employment our new legislation b will give the existing residents a priority of affordable units in their community by giving neighborhoods preference thats something i know the boards has been very supportive of the third policy legislation well be introducing it the focus on those tenants who are displaced weve heard time and time again and read story avenue story of tenants with no fault evictions or ellis act despite the good news visits to sacramento weve not burger to get the changes through locally we can do something about the no fault evicts the evicts that are banks demolitions so were going to provide a preference to routine who are displaced bus of those causes the fourth is something that i said earlier and thanks to the leadership of commissioner renne and supervisor kim and all the others standing behind me as well we are going do revamp what has been our Inclusionary Housing Program by providing more incentives to Market Rate Developers to provide affordable units to alongside their market rate units and supervisors have been very interested they know weve had trembles limitations in the way weve approached the past in terms of inclusionary housing what that means is whenever there is a mandating development whether in selma or Visitacion Valley or in downtown what we want to had never vices the building of more affordable units on the same site so weve got to freud that right mix of incentives to make sure that the developers are attracted to that put more of those hundred percent affordable units on site it allows the developers to help secure housing for families in rentcontrolled units and therefore stabilize these rent in an affordable level the fifth is also linked to that but it is has nothing to do with to do we we do offsite as you may know obligations flow to developers when we build market rate housing we also want to make sure that if we have a program that incentive visas the building of Affordable Housing off those market rate sites we have the right incentives to build more lowerincome and middleincome on the offsite by providing a little bit more height and density and making sure that pencils out to unify and onsite incentives are part of the pages my staff can go go the detail how that works weve been in conversations with the dozens of developers who know that just twooeshgz a little bit here and through on the height and density salesforce assists this them make sure the offsite and Onsite Development gets more play and add more units we believe that those legislative packages coupled with the aggressive buildings and rehabilitating of thirty thousand units of housing with the guaranteed third affordable and more in fact, to middleincome that were going to steady those goals and we know that well have a clear road map given the blue print and the tools we have this is just before us weve got to make sure we keep he focus this is what im focused on as mayor and all the staff has nothing to do with with housing is focused to insure this gets think done not only to benefit the areas under construction whether south of market or in the transbay but we know those packages will also help to stable his the mission and chinatown and other neighborhoods around the city finally i want to make sure you know one of the most important things to for the public to know whats on the ballots for this november prop a is the 310 million housing bond we have before the voters and it is a housing bond it is unanimously supported by the board of supervisors with me and it has occurred the support of now dozens of Community Groups residential groups and it does not raise property tax this is a colloquy to our Capital Planning and the 310 million will in fact provide us with serious resources to not only hit home on the lowerincome housing but middleincome housing and amounts of money to help build the neighborhoods much quicker it is one of the greatest single steps to stack towards the building of more housing weve got to make sure that our citys nieptd for residents who tells you on a day to day basis they cant afford to be here the city has to to be united this is the top priority weve dealt with so many other issues that help us with the affordability challenge whether transportation or parks or schools weve even got one of the best and most unique programs of starting a bank account for kids going to kindergarten no other city is doing that many are trying to do that so, now we have a a tackle the Affordable Housing challenge and i think this is the way to do that and certainly in my past Housing Advocacy we have a lot of friends to make sure that gets done as well with that, i have a great partner in the board of supervisors and i know that every single have been thinking about housing for the past couple of years and all the challenges that represents and no greater of a leader then the supervisor president breed who lived in Public Housing speak and testify to that but she is hundred and 50 percent committed to making sure that the Public Housing gets redone thats the key and a lot of land in that Public Housing f that is not fully utilized to incorporate more Affordable Housing for names that need and build in areas find city that are beautiful parts of city you should take a chance to see the areas hot beds of a lot of investment were building housing ill invite up to the pronounced our board president london breed clapping. thank you. I just want to start by thats why mayor ed lee i do this efrpts weve had a number of press conferences and i met that i am when i first became a member of the board i made p made it clear any priority was Public Housing to make sure that the recipe have the kind of housing they deserve able to live in dignity a lot of the conditions that were when i lived this sadly is there today those residents deserve better we talk about Public Housing and what were to go dissolution to make sure we rehabilitate Public Housing and include the residents and continue to deliver the services and not leave them out were moving in a positive step forward so im glad when we talk about housing in San Francisco when we talk about preservation that Public Housing it is at the for the most part i know it is important to me and many of the members of the board that p have Public Housing in their district and finally finally finally were moving a step closer to doing what we are said well do with 14 hundred units of this and it will make a difference thank you for that mr. Mayor and the other thing i want to highlight is part of the mayors comprehensive blue print package is neighborhood preference growing up here in San Francisco ive had to many friends leave the city at the cant afford it weve watched the development under redevelopment all the housing that upcoming popped up in your neighborhood and we didnt have the ability to assess if we applied and put into 0 lottery system am many times our names are not called that changed the characterization of the neighborhood and finally when the board introduced legislation for neighborhood preference bylaw before we went on release weve got to stop the who oclock on changing the neighborhood make sure that the residents that live in the neighborhood the reason why we love San Francisco and its desists in the first place it bylaw is because of the people of the neighborhood we have to make sure theyre part of any new development this will make that difference im proud to be part of the folks that led that charge the last thing i want to talk about the blue print i know you know im working on a plan for the western edition and nixon next with the Mayors Office of housing and the Mayors Office of department of Workforce Development we have to think about some of the see challenges that are happening in all the neighborhoods preservation preservation preservation there are people who live all over our city in anonym development places that are falling part some of you read in the news will fredrick and that issue weve had to take those folks to court to stop the sale of Affordable Housing we have to make sure as we build new and chunk the city and trying to prepare for the new printouts i residents. Coming here we dont neglect our Affordable Housing stock we make sure in their roofs are not leaking the mold is abating and some of the conditions that are similar to Public Housing are abated and find Creative Solutions and develop a plan in order to protect the residents that already live in our air force stock throughout San Francisco and part of what im doing is working with the mayor and his legislation fixes and working with the board of supervisors in trying to be creative not only legislatively some things require working with the city cement development and the stakeholders to come up with the plans so long term we know how to preserve the Affordable Housing for generations to come so im excited about the blue print it is a step in the right direction and were going to make a difference in the housing unit i know there are people that are all matters listed hereunder constitute a consent calendar, are considered to be routine me every single day what is going to happen to me and my family were working hard to make sure we do everything within our ability to stop the strengthened in San Francisco so thank you, mr.
