Any questions . Thank you very much. Council members, chip. Yes, please. Hi john paul. This was a comprehensive report and a lot of numbers flying around, but i was i wanted to ask about the General Hospital situation. Will that entire campus be ada compliant when youre finished with this or certain buildings . We have many different programs going on at the same time. Some of the buildings are 1920s and theres no way to make them completely ada compliant. So what we have to do is burial removal. Where we have public services, programs for the public, were bringing those all into accessibility. The patient rooms will move to the new hospital and all of those have useable, accessibility. Theres full patient rooms. Were leaving, for example, the Mental Health services so were going in there to make accessible showers and toilets as apart of our work. The university of california is doing work. Theyre spending millions of dollars at the statement time but they focus their money on where t
Theres no curb ramp. If you went up to the cross centsing to the front of the steps and went back to the cable, i asked a friend in a wheelchair, what would you do at this point. She said i would throw it in the street by my car and go back around and take it off the sidewalk and stick it in my car. Unfortunately the street is below the reach range. Weve got a few hundreds of these. I dont know which ones have permits but i would like to know who issued the permits. I think you need a public policy. It does not allow new Tech Companies to do what they like under the California Building code. Okay. Thank you. Exactly. Thank you very much. To the chair if i have an opportunity to respond. We would be pleased to have the opportunity to make a presentation before the Mayors Disability Council at a future meeting to describe and to tell you in greater detail about the different policies and recommendations that our office has specifically about electric vehicle charging stations.

Has the library with double number of computers and importantly how we put it together. It took longer and the reason it took a little longer was because people who lived in this community wanted the input they hadnt had in a long time. They wanted this building representative of them. Its more than a library. It is a community center, it is an example of how you get a contractor like freddie carter, [ applause ] to become romantic after 50 years of struggle. How he and working with public works and the architects and the library and the commission were able to get some 68 percent local businesses involved, 25 percent from bay view alone. Is this what we mean by invest in our neighborhoods . Absolutely. So, when you look at this library, think of the people that put it together. Think of the hours, think of the many hours that the kids and families will spend here safely learning, increasing their knowledge, improving themselves. Think of the friends of the library that will continue t
What a glorious day. Welcome to the library. It is my pleasure to be here for todays celebration. I would like to thank our people from the opera house. In particular i would like to give the executive director of the opera house a round of applause here. Where are you . How about that wonderful m. Music. They are led by mohammed bhangra. Lets give them a round of applause. It wasnt too long ago that we had our wonderful Ground Breaking ceremony and at that ceremony we were led in a beautiful invocation by the past or oral yus walker. Hes back to lead us. With that, pastor walk er. To our distinguished leaders and city officials, brothers and sisters. Before i do the invocation i would like to talk real quickly, a young man in the greek culture, he wanted to be wide and was determined to gain wisdom. So socrates, he said i want wisdom. Socrates walked down to the beach, walked to the water and deducted him in the water and said what do you want. He said noble socrates, i want wisdom. W
And pleasure to introduce our mayor, mayor ed lee. [ applause ]. Morning, everybody. Welcome to our bay view. As our poet said, hes about to wear a hat, so i was looking for a hat this morning. And i have a trunk full and i was looking for something that was representative, a world series type of hat because this is a world series event. When you look across our neighborhoods, you know its probably one of the best examples of building a community center. And you know as much as this brick and mortar is beautiful, its got a communicate Center Community center that is useful when the library is not even open. It has the library with double number of computers and importantly how we put it together. It took longer and the reason it took a little longer was because people who lived in this community wanted the input they hadnt had in a long time. They wanted this building representative of them.
