Board will not take any formal action but looking forward to peoples comments and questions. Any people on the line, moderator . You have seven questions remaining. Chair borden okay, our first speaker, please. Caller hello. My name is joel kamisher, a School Crossing guard and a member of the sfciu 10 to 1 bargaining committee. We have been trying to talk about not outsourcing people to protect the city workers and im hearing that discussion about the flaggers and the pedestrian monitors. I wonder if we could use our own workforce, the parking control people and the crossing guards instead of having the contractors hire private people. I realize that the flaggers might have their own union, so maybe thats a problem. But im hoping that we can do other things to reduce the need of contract people to prevent layoffs . Thank you. Chair borden thank you, next speaker, please. You have six questions remaining. Caller hello, members of the board, my name is Hector Jimenez and im with the loc
Talk into a camera, waiting for a response, pretending that oh, yeah, i hear you, its so very weird. Im used to having a classroom with 17 students sitting in front of me, where theyre all moving around and having to have them, like, oh, sit down, oh, can you hear them . Lets listen. Hi guys. I kind of have stage flight when im on t. V. Because im normally quiet . Shes never quiet. No, im not quiet. My sister was, like, i saw you on t. V. My teacher was, i saw you on youtube. It was exciting, how the community started watching. It was a lot of fun. It also pushed me outside of my comfort zone, having to make my own visuals and lesson plans so quickly that ended up being a lot of fun. I want to end today with a thank you. Thank you for spending time with us. It was a great pleasure, and see you all in the fall. Im so happy to see you today. Today is the last day of the school year, yea it really helped me in my teaching. Im excited to go back teaching my kids, yeah. We received a lot of
The virus in the first place. We remember not too long ago the when we finally made the announcement that we would be opening gyms and hair salons and nail salons. Just think about how good it felt to feel normal. To go and get your hair done or your nails done or to go and workout at the gym and enjoy your time there, but just think about how much more important it was to the people who were finally able to open their business, who were finally able to get a paycheck, who finally had some level of certainty in their lives that they would be able to take care of themselves. Now, think about whats happening now. Im sure that so many of those people are scared. Last week we told the restaurants that they would no longer be able to operate indoors. What that meant was not only layoffs, but it also meant that there was a lot of lost revenue because of the food that they no longer were able to use. When you think about some of the things and the sacrifices that people are making, thats what
Our system is ugly. As times, it has been d. B. I. Staff and management, and at other times, its been the developers, contractors, and consultants who are seeking permit approvals. In 2001, a d. B. I. Survey called for a culture of preferential treatment and called for an overhaul of the department. In 2004, Marcus Armstrong and a d. B. I. Investigator plead guilty for taking bribes. In 2010, permit expediter jimmy jen was jailed on 232 felony fraud counts brought by District Attorney and Vice President elect kamala harris. In may 2020, Rodrigo Santos, a former Building Inspections commissioner was arrested by the f. B. I. And charged with bank fraud. The City Attorney already had a pending civil complaint against santos from several years ago for endangering the city and the public by skirting requirements on several properties. A Mission Local article this september told the story of a district nine constituent whose neighbor was doing structural or demolition work that was causing s
