San francisco is surrounded on three sides by water, the fire boat station is intergal to maritime rescue and preparedness, not only for San Francisco, but for all of the bay area. [sirens] fire station 35 was built in 1915. So it is over 100 years old. And helped it, were going to build fire boat station 35. So the finished Capital Planning committee, i think about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must exist on Sea Level Rise. The station 35, Construction Cost is approximately 30 million. And the schedule was complicated because of what you call a float. It is being fabricated in china, and will be brought to treasure island, where the building site efficient will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 and a half for installation. Were looking at late 2020 for final completion of the fire boat float. The historic firehouse will remain on the embarcadero, and we will still respond out of the historic firehouse with our fire engine, and respo

Standpoint when slavery ended with the 13th amendment and soon after the chinese communities were excluded from entering the countries due to the chinese exclusion act of 1882. In rent history the black community was red lined to the out skirts of the city. Japanese americans were sent to internment camps. They have been targeted and most recently the newly latin students. The trauma continues to exist in our communities today. This is not the america we envisioned but this can be the San Francisco that we need to correct the wrongs of history. We cannot forget the pain and suffering of aning of ancestors. We are the wildest dreams of ancestors whose voices were silenced. Here i stand before you to open the conversation on reparations to lead to a plan with a reparations package for black people in this city. The institution of slavery broke up families and matched away the opportunity to create wealth and build opportunitying from our families from generation and generation. We are ex

Unfortunately as we see 30 people were hit and killed each year on the streets and over 500 are seriously injured and we all want that number to go to zero, though, so that is far too many. I have been h
Next speaker, please. Welcome. Question hi. So a number of individuals have discussed the system and i would like to remark on it. By the way, i believe i live in district 2. First of all, i would like to remark that before this week, i never even realized that people could go to could attend board of supervisors meetings and i feel this is something that should be more widely advertised to residents of the city because certainly, i think i was in more active in local politics and i know there was a venue beyond simply emailing my supervisor or calling if i knew that i could actually attend meetings and make comments. I would have felt more emparamedic aempoweredas a citi. Also, the schedule on the website had a more of a time frame because, for example, there was a time that was noted when comments could be made where i could have tuned out and did Something Else and called back in or when the relevant discussions were. Also, for people who have addressed the issue of defunding the po
