Sadness that i do an in memorium or howard l. Wallace and ask that we adjourn the meeting in his name. And i know that supervisor avalos and president chiu wanted supervisor olague, and it might be appropriate to do it on behalf of the board, the entire board. But Howard Wallace was simply an institution in San Francisco, the Labor Community but also the Lgbt Community and so many communities that have been fighting for social justice. It is true that howards Sisters Brothers in the queer labor and elder human rights movements had the sad duty to report his death on wednesday, november 14 at the beautiful vista manner in San Francisco. He was a veteran of social Movement Since his High School Years in denver, colorado, where when he became an activist. He was born on august 29, 1936 worcester, massachusetts and then to denver where howard spent most of his upbringing. As he talked about his Sexual Orientation and the fact that he was gay, youx jr,i know, he sais aware being gay in the
Programs. To the extent thatmine is failing or hasjpn,1 to address those issues, it is not because of somehowqpihb making Public Transportation more accessible to poor kids in this city. I think its simply unfair to place that responsibility on that group. We all have ajr n responsibilito make sure that we have a reliable system, and the working families and the poor families of this city are as interested in increasing the reliability as any. But to simply say that we have to choose one or the other, to me, is not accurate. It is not a choice that has to be made. It is not how San Francisco should operate its Public Transit system. We can have an accessible system that is reliable. The two are not at adds odds with one another. So, colleagues, i have circulated through the clerk a set of amendments that provides language that reflects the position that indeed you can maintain the system, and still provide accessibility to low income families, and kids in the city. And so i hereby ma

President chiu first of all id like to adjourn todays meeting in recognition of the passing of ellen farlly, those of us who lied tock on klw local radio. He became a regular host after joining the station as a volunteer almost three decades ago. As an arts he was vocal in support of the arts. He was a strong supporter of the San Francisco symphony and american conservatory theater upon he is described as a radio legend with a lot of passion and he will be dearly missed by many in the bay area. Colleagues i have an item to announce a Pilot Program in district 3. As you will remember in this years budget each district was allocated 100,000 in discretionary funding to be decided by a District Supervisor for onetime expenditures that dont constitute ongoing neighborly costs. As i thought about how these funds should be used in my district i was intrigued by a model of participatory budgeting. Participatory budget is a Civic Engagement proddle that involv involves making decision on fund.
Part of all that is. Ascension is to rise above limited ways of thinking and creating rea÷y h0o i made a whole list of things that i think would be helpful if we had had a discussion about the muni. The muni is where this situation started, the hate crimes again and again. This is what i wanted to talk to president chiu about. This is the extension ascension extension that i propose be built. I could have it built as i know welders and people who could do the casting. There are two signs that say there is no soliciting. One is on this little gas ebbo, and the other is on if you were to extend it, the bathroom that goes here. Currently, there are dpw advertising these are temporary gates. They look horrible and have horriblelooking cones in front of8iacg them. Probably more important although this is where i need or was healing but the police put rubber gloves on and threatened to take me away. The city breaks about five laws. It used to be they just perform in the evenings and take a
