Come to the podium. Tom gilberti. Seems like the 30 second warning bell is not working. Parking space, inspirational offices. Remember the grade schoolteacher, remember a high school teacher, the inspirational ones. What are, what were, what are their values to a people . Muni, 700,000plus rides perday, 24hour cycle, a highly efficient except for the wheelchair elevator, vanness is a disaster. The elevator, kricivic center, powell, disaster, lets hope they can work, but for the most part, pollution reducing, climate control, great organization. Then tell me why we cant have teachers living at 1 oak . Why we cant have Police Officers living at 1 oak . The sheriffs in this room living at 1 oak . The grade schoolteachers affecting our children, High School Teachers affecting our children, weaving our society. We take it for granted, and were losing it. Reality of the Real Estate Industry doesnt have to be defined by the financiers of the Real Estate Industry who put their money in politicians pockets. Mayor lees got a million plus. A Healthy Community should be always our goal. 1 oaks, vanness, civic center, 12 lines of muni transit. Anywhere in the city, we need to see reality and work with it. Thank you. Thank you for your comments. Madam president. Are there any other members of the public whod like to provide Public Comment at this time . Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Supervisor peskin . Supervisor peskin thank you, madam president. This has been a really weird, unfortunate bunch of days in San Francisco, whether its the racial intolerance that were seeing in and around the cannabis issue, but i rise to speak to the issue in and around the comfort woman issue. When i ran for office the first time in 2000. Sir, if you want to speak to that particular issue, were going to have to supervisor peskin im speaking under item 41, not under item 14. Im actually speaking under item 41, which is my roll call. Oh, but i think since the item is on the agenda, and correct me if i am wrong, we just have to reverse the vote and supervisor peskin madam president , i need not speak specifically to item 14. I can speak about item 41 in general. Okay. Supervisor peskin and i can speak about it thusly, which is at a moment in time where there are women who are coming out in droves about roy moore, whos running for senate in alabama, when there are women coming out, talking about harvey weinstein, this is actually a moment where i can standup as a supervisor who never ran for congress, doesnt do geopolitics and say, hello, everybody, there were war crimes that we can actually reckon with, and i know yawn givner givners yawn givners getting a little uncomfortable because im confusing it with item 14. I just have to standup and say, in San Francisco, where so many japanese were interned pursuant to order 9066, i cannot associate myself with the comments of individuals who do not want to recognize war crimes and crimes against humanity and crimes against women and thats exactly what happened, and i just wanted to say it for the record. Its not why i ran for the board of supervisors, but i thought somebody needed to say it. Thank you, supervisor peskin. Madam clerk please read the items to adoption without rerchs to committee. Clerk items 43 through 49 are being considered for adoption without reference to committee. These items can be considered by a single roll call vote, otherwise severed and considered separatelily. Supervisor fewer. Sorry. Id like to sever item number 49, please. Before we move forward, id like to entertain a motion to excuse supervisor farrell, moved by supervisor ronen, seconded by supervisor tang. Can we take that without objection . Without objection, supervisor farrell is excused, and on the items 44 through 49 through adoption without reference to committee, madam clerk, please call the roll. Clerk [ roll call. ] clerk there are nine ayes. There are nine ayes, the item passes unanimously. Please read the next item. Supervisor fewer. Thank you very much. As a member of the Reentry Council, i am happy to have brought this resolution forward on their behalf in the council, chaired by the mayors office, public defenders office, chief of the probation officer, District Attorneys Office and the Sheriffs Office voted unanimously to support this resolution. Currently only a handful of reentry serves are provided in San Francisco for private for profit companies, but i strongly believe as im sure all of you do that as a city and county, we want to minimize Reentry Services provided by for profit private companies. This resolution urges city departments to prioritize nonprofit organizations where the city does contract out does contract out Reentry Services, and i hope i have your support today. There are currently two private companies funded by the city and county of San Francisco, and thats lca, leader in community alternatives, and thats funded through the Sheriffs Department, and America Works thats funded through oed and adult protection, and i think you should know the Reentry Council has representatives from the Sheriffs Department and also Protection Department but from department of health youth and their families, the Police Department, department of Child Support services, department of Public Health, department of homelessness and support of housing, Human Services agency, juvenile protection, offices of economic and workforce development, the San FranciscoPolice Department and other Public Officials include representatives from the California Department of corrections and rehabilitation parole Operations Division and u. S. Probation office, and they all voted unanimously on this resolution. I hope i have your support today. Thank you, and supervisor fewer, can you specifically talk a little bit more about the the funded organizations and specifically maybe what they do, and what is the challenge with the competitive process and why are forprofit agencies able to obtain these contracts over nonprofits . Supervisor fewer so the many of the ones that are operating in San Francisco and also throughout the state of california are state contracts, so we have no control over them. Today, we heard some representatives from geo, and geois the geo group, which is a private prison business, and actually its the second largest most profitable prison business in the united states, but they extent also internationally. We feel personally that it is at odds with what we are trying to accomplish with Reentry Services, which is that we hope people dont do do reenter into civilian life and not reenter the prison system. In order for geo group to be profitable, they need to have a steady stream of prisoners, therefore, we feel its in opposition. This resolution just urges the city and county of San Francisco to actually prioritize nonprofit organizations for Reentry Services. President breed but more specifically, does the city does the city contract that currently exists for the purposes of reentry, do we contract with any for profit agencies at this time . Supervisor fewer yes we do. President breed that do not include state funding, and specifically, i think thats what im trying to understand. What do they do . Supervisor fewer sure. So we fund leaders in community alternatives, and that is funded through the Sheriffs Department, and then we fund America Works, and that is funded through oed and adult probation, and Sheriffs Department and adult probation also voted in support of this resolution. President breed is there a reason why these programs receive funding over some of the others that might have competed for the same opportunities . Supervisor fewer you know, i cant answer that question. I believe there are people in the audience karen shane from adult probation that could answer that question for you. President breed thank you. Supervisor fewer thank you, chair. Im karen shane from San Francisco adult probation, the Reentry Council. One of the things that the Reentry Council did determine that they want to do is take a good look at what the Reentry Services are, make sure we have the best Reentry Services, have an evaluative Services Going forward, so its a lot bigger issue that we originally thought, but its on the agenda for the Reentry Council. As to your question, president breed, sometimes there are not nonprofits that are able to do the contracting. For example, lca provides electronic monitoring through the Sheriffs Department. I dont know this, but i dont i dont believe that anyone had applied to do that through the that was a nonprofit, and so thats one of the reasons why we tried to make this resolution a resolution rather than a requirement, that you know, if that and that certainly if there if someone is going to make an argument that their services were stronger, better, less, you know, whatever, that would certainly have an impact on the provision of services. The idea of this is mostly its really to place San Francisco on the side of really working for reentry. On behalf of supervisors yee and kim, for the late miss janet hee. On behalf of supervisor peskin for the late mr. Nathan roth, mr. Gino perrini, and on behalf of supervisor fewer and yee on behalf of the late dr. Roland yo, on behalf of the entire board of supervisors at the suggestion of supervisor fewer, peskin, kim, and yee, for the late mr. Herbert patrick lee. President breed colleagues, this brings us to the end of our agenda. Madam clerk, is there any further business before us today. Clerk that concludes our business for today. President breed we are adjourned, hello, San Francisco and welcome to another episode of public works tv. Im a publroject manager here public works, here on public works tv, but first lets take a look at whats been happening in the last week. We poured concrete at Fire Department 16. I wanted to hit the streets of chinatown talking to people about keeping the streets clean. See our website for more details. Happy world plumbing day . Did you know that many people in todays world still live without working plumbing in their home . Were dedicating this episode to world toilet day, that day we recognize every year on november 19th to focus on proper sanitation and the access of clean and safe toilets for everyone. Originally established by the World Health Organization in 2001, the day has grown to be recognized by the international community. In 2013, the United Nations passed a resolution recognizing the National Toilet day as an international day. We believe in basic human rights, and in this episode we want to show you a model that is being emulated around the country, our San Francisco public works program, so lets take a look. Theres nowhere to go in the city. Theres not like like i said, public rest rooms, theres no porta potties, theres no boards or bushes. In 2015, we started to provide a place for people to take care of their bathroom needs and lessen the impact on public works to cleanup streets and parks. This gives a place for people to get rid of their used needles, and pet owners to dispose of their pet waste. We decided to start here with the first three, and today we operate 17 locations in eight neighborhoods. Whats special about this program . Respect, having a trained monitor to ensure the toilet safe space is clean and inviting. My name is willie hammond. Im a monitor here. [ inaudible ] we released february 21st, 2017 after serving a life sentence. It was my first job on being released. I have to say after serving so much time in prison, i was afraid not having the ability to get a job, and for me it was the opportunity to serve the community. I believe we change lives with smiles. All these people out here from the richest to the poorest, they enjoy having a clean rest room. When you can restore the ability for people to live with dignity and to maintain their integrity, thats the greatest gift that you could ever get. A pit stop is being used once every two minutes in San Francisco. Weve seen an average of 8,700 needles be disposed of in 20,000 flushes each year, allowing our staff to focus on other demands and create a safe working environment. My name is guillermo canes, and im a supervisor two with public works. One of the things were dealing with is urine in the city streets and throughout the city. Its a difficult job and you have to be prepared mentally every day to just prepare for this. We already have a challenge of 15, 20 people at then campment, and then we have to at the encampment. Its unfortunate when we get there, it makes it more challenging to see these people going through what theyre going through, and then to see them living in these conditions. Because of the pit stop, now these encampments are no longer unsanitary for these people to be in, and were offering them a clean and safe sewer usage, and everybody is benefiting it because its eliminating having all of this on the streets. The pit stops offer have improved the quality of life in surrounding neighborhoods by keeping them clean and providing safe and inviting rest rooms for everyone to use. [ inaudible ] going on today here at the United Nations plaza. Were a very business eye narcot busy market. Its an extremely busy farmers market, and theres not generally a place for people to use the rest room out here. With the pit stop program, people would setup camps in the bathroom, we wouldnt be able to open the doors. We did a couple of times find some knives, we found a gun in there once. It made us very nervous because once that door is closed, it made us very nervous what was going on inside, so people who wanted to use the bathrooms would see that activity and feel very nervous about going inside, so we put some monitors to ensure that when we found out that the city was going to put in some monitors to monitor the bathrooms, we were overjoyed. Its really cleaner over here and customers and developedors say its safer to go to the bathroom, and its easier to go to the bathroom, and theyre happy that the city has paid attention after ten years of feeling like were a little bit on our own. Weve already seen other cities follow our model. In San Francisco were hoping to expand to other areas [ inaudible ] i hope you enjoyed this episode of public works tv.

Vice chair tang and members of the Transportation Authority. I will be presenting the cac report today. Beginning with item eight, the cac recommends approval for the allocation of prop k fundses as presented. There was particular support expressed for the valencia street bikeway impolicemen taths plan request implementation plan. The bike lanes were last striped in 1999 and valencia street has become a major bike commuter route in the city. At the same time, development along this corridor has resulted in many more conflicts and hazards with Transportation Network company or tnc and food delivery drivers making quick stops and double parking in the bike lanes. The item did pass. Turning to item ten, the presentation on the 2017 facilitys framework. A question was raised if any of the older facilities to be altered or replaced had any historic cig any chance. They dont significance. It was also noted the facilities owned by the city and county seemed to kon trait on the
