[singing roar] [ ] [ cheering and applause ]. Mayor breed hello, everyone. Im San Francisco mayor london breed, and i am so excited to be here today. Hello. First of all, i love katy perrys version, but i will buy that single if you guys to upload it. Beautiful. Thank you so much to the amazing choir that burton has been traditionally known for every since i was in high school, which wasnt actually that long ago. Burton always had an incredible choir and was an incredible force in this city for academics and so many things. So it really is an honor to be here, because this initiative, opportunities for all, is something that is near and dear in my heart. I am so fortunate because when i was in high school, you know, there was not really a lot of opportunities to learn and to grow and to figure out what i wanted to do in life. I grew up in the western edition in the philmore community in Public Housing where my grandmother raised me. It was so easy to turn to some of the negative activi
Stuff, i love going to my local places and they are all going away. I would like to come up with something that is a winwin on both sides. What that is . I dont know. Im trying to get feedback. I like what william said here, you know, maybe if there is something we can get back, or something you said, like low hanging fruit with fees. I will point to the ordinance that was presented, item number three was a recalculation of fees that brought fees down that makes a placket system easier to comply with. Lets not look at this as a stick, it also does not exist in a vacuum. We are at the fate of the restaurant hearing just two weeks ago. If there is an right now for carrots for Small Business, it is right now. I do not think that this ordinance is going to kill restaurants. Im sorry, i dont think so. I look at an email sent out by the California Restaurant Association that disparages this as a tax, which says this is making changes to the bussing requirement that its not making. It says we
And incredible views, a place where everyone want to live in in San Francisco, and they will be a part of the future of this great city. No one will be left behind as a result of this great project, so thank you to john stewart and John Stewart Company. Thank you so much to Bridge Housing and cynthia, to kate, to supervisor peskin, and all the Community Members and the people who helped make this possible. This is truly San Francisco at its best, and there is more to come. Thank you all so much. [applause] the hon. London breed sorry. I want to introduce john stewart, but i want to just say that i met john stewart over 20 years ago. And i used to work at treasure island, and some of you remember when that housing was empty, and it was vacated by the navy, and we have the task of rehabilitating those units and moving formerly homeless veterans, formerly homeless families and other people of all incomes into treasure island. The partnership with John Stewart Company was not just a partne

Supervisor walton you know, ive been given two minutes to talk about the unfinished agenda for black folks in san franci o francisco. That unfinished agenda a
V. P. Covington i think that would be helpful. For that to be the largest category, it seems as if there may be some things that could be broken out and itemize for us. And, the comments made by myself , commissioner alioto veronese i could see why he would think that three would be low, i also thought the same thing. Thought also brought up the question regarding the new chief of Health Safety and wellness. It is part of charge for that person going to be actively trying to change part of the culture in the department so that people feel more at ease in coming forward with things they are dealing with that my fall under stress . That is absolutely the core of the issue. Absolutely. The culture change is one of the major factors. Years ago we had a culture that we had a code, season firefighter, that has it is a culture change that takes some time. V. P. Covington when i would visit the scene, people would encourage me, rub your back up against the wall, your turnout coat looks clean.
