to hear that. he was the first person i met her coming to city hall. a great person, incredibly sad to hear of his loss on a personal level but also for the teamsters as well. then also to back up supervisor cohen and wiener on their hearing around police staffing levels. i look forward to participating in that as well and i will be looking forward to cosponsoring it. it's an issue of crime. not only do we have homicide and supervisor cohen, an amazing comment that we've had since we started this meeting a few human resources ago. what i have heard from residents in my district. time and again over the last years it has increased in violent crimes and neighborhood crimes. this issue affects us all maybe different ways in our districts but it affects everyone of us and police staffing levels is something that is right for discussion here at the board of supervisors and inside of city hall. i think public safety i imagine is going to be a huge priority for a lot of us, i know it will be as we head towards budget season. i know it's a priority for mayor lee and i look forward to participating in that discussion. i want to thank my colleagues for bringing that forward and i know it's just the tip of the iceberg and i thank my colleagues for supporting that. the rest i submit. >> supervisor kim? >>supervisor jane kim: thank you, mr. clerk. i'm introducing two items today. the first is expend resolution with the rec's department with $8 million the san francisco parks alliance on behalf of the south park improvement association. these fundings will be used for the renovation of south park. this is in incredibly exciting as i mentioned over again san francisco as the fewest and smallers parks in the city so the parks are incredibly important to our neighborhood and our district especially as we continue to absorb the vast majority of density and growth on behalf of the city. south park, i learned is the oldest park in san francisco. the land was acquired in 1987 and established as a park. this park was included in 2012 park as the san diego park. in 2009, the park improvement association embarked on a planning committee process for full renovation of the park. over the last 6 years, spia has been really successful in developing partnerships both public and private and now working very closely with the san francisco parks alliance and to make them an instrumental partner in supporting this rehab for this park. this grant will be used to enhance the recreation and parks construction budget for people of all ages. the enhance construction budget includes a special play structure, more lighting, traffic calming solutions at the entrance of the park including bulb out and street stamping and crosswalks. i want to thank sdia for securing public and private funds and they completed the $400000 gap that remains in the park and we'll work closely with them to ensure this gap is filled. if there are members of the public who would like to contribute to this park and with a plaque with your name on it, there is a way to donate with sbia.org. my next item similar to my first point on infrastructure. many of you are ed this morning of the loss of approximately $1 million of developer fees that was supposed to be secured in the soma state fund with a loss account. it included $71,000 for the community improvement account management by the planning department. our office has been gravely concerned with the loss of developer fees that were intended for the improvement of our neighborhoods in particular our parks, our streetscaping and other infrastructure needs. we actually learned of this loss only a little over 2 weeks ago and intended on calling a hearing january 13th and decided not to do so until we met with the mayor's of housing and members of south of market fund community advisory committee. as mentioned this fund was for infrastructure whether it be open space, community center facilities streetscape improvements. widespread facility and affordable housing. this growth to ensure we are building complete neighborhoods so as we have more residents and workers we are able to accommodate them with increasing transit, open space and other. the cac has been working diligently to evaluate potential projects that would have the most impact for a neighborhood and to give an example, the first infrastructure investment funding street lights across from the park. the only multiuse park in the south of market. in another example of the use of these funds included the acquisition of the united players clubhouse or howard street ensuring that this use of violence prevention program would be able to stay in the south of market despite the hot real estate environment and an investment to acquire a 5-unit apartment building on toma street on the market rate market and ensure it will remain affordable. we have been working hard to secure funding from this developer and i'm calling a hearing to ensure there is funding reporting on the status of these funds we realize how it's important that how we loss this that there is complicated routes that many developers go through on a variety of different departments and sometimes even other agencies. in this case it was the a bag finance authority for non-profit corporation. as a member of a dag committee i'm also making a similar inquiry to understand the role and will releasing the gundz back -- funds back to the developer and the mayor's office are unequivocal that we will do everything to ensure that we are making our communities whole. the rest i submit. >> thank you, supervisor kim. supervisor mar in >>supervisor eric mar: thank you. the russian community has a large population of russian speaking people. i want to ask if

thank you, supervisor mar. supervisors tanning -- tang. >>supervisor katy tang: in regards to what i will introduce today the family violence council to increase awareness and understanding of domestic and family violence and it's consequences. so the three primary goals of this is that we are supposed to be coordinating services and improving communication between those in domestic violence and child abuse and elder dependent abuse and secondly trials and data related to family violence in san francisco statewide and nationally and last to advise the board of supervisors, the mayor and courts about these trends of violence and family issues and addressing child abuse and domestic violence. it was created in 2008 and since then the council has sparked really great improvement in san francisco. no. 1 advocating for the children's advocacy center national tr for the art and center for abused children. the council also helped to establish for people who are convicted of child abuse. one other thing the council did was it helped with the department of emergency management to help in specialized codes for family violence when dispatch received call they are able to easily and clearly note the type of emergency. prior to this effort there's though process and method for distinguishing those who may need specialized help. so the council is in its fourth year. in our conversations with those who work very closely or part of the council there has been an expressed desire to update this council and this legislation i'm introduce today will add six new members from the following departments to the council. this includes juvenile probation, public defender, animal care control, the san francisco unified school district, human resources director and the fire department. in addition to that, other changes we are making to this will help ensure rotation of steering committee members and be able to foster new leadership on this council. i do want to thank my cosponsors breed and cohen. with that i will submit. >> thank you. supervisor wiener? >>supervisor scott weiner: thank you, mr. clerk. colleagues, a few things. first as supervisors cohen and farrell mentioned we are doing a few things around public safety. first, we've requested that the city controller analyze what full staffing of our police department means in san francisco. we know that many things impact public safety but one important factor is how many police officers we have. and one of the most common things that i hear from constituents is why don't i see police officers in my neighborhood. and it is a frustration and a lot of parts of the city and if you, as we all know that department is under staffed. the charter sets full staffing at 109 1 officers due to years and negligence that was dropped to 1700. we would like to bring it back up to 2000 officers. even before it was put in the charters in the 80s. we have a larger city now and neighborhoods that didn't exist and more larger events in the city and it's not g egg to stop. we are going to continue to add more population and will have more events in san francisco and i don't think 2,000 officers is going to cut it with our new san francisco. so we ask the controller to work on an analysis of what full staffing really means not just now but in the future so we know in 2016 we don't necessarily stop, that we actually keep planning and we know with need to plan for the future in terms of growth, housing capacity and capacity in our school system and public safety and structure. i look forward to this situation. the current situation is not okay in san francisco and is in a lot of the parts of the city that are sometimes considered "safe" in my district two murders, just in tiny triangle in the last 6 months. bank robberies in the castro and knowey valley and arsenal second in the 4 years, castro, robberies. just yesterday the police had to respond to warner plaza ten times in 1 day because of the fighting with the backpacker kids. we really need to work with our police department. they are short staffed they have a very hard job and we want to know what are the crime trends, how are they working with that staff and how can we help the department get the staffing it needs. it's a very important conversation, colleagues. i also call for a hearing along with supervisor campos on a looming issue in our community specifically the population of long-term hiv survive ors and we have a very significant income drop that could cause them not to be able to pay their rent and may become homeless. we have a population primarily gay men who became hiv positive in the 1980s and went on to private insurance through their employer. some reentered the workforce and some did not. as with almost all private disability policies it only last until you are 65 years old and move to social security. this is a problem we need to grapple with because the last thing we need is hundreds of thousands of hiv positive people who are stably housed who cannot afford to pay their rent anymore. i would like to thank the budget analyst for doing this excellent report for quantifying it for the 1st time and we'll hold a hearing to determine the next step. i want to thank my cosponsors supervisor tang. we attend many animal facilities. pending legislation in sacramento to effectively crack down on the illegal atria ed -- trade in ivory and rhino horns are causing a mass extermination in rhinos and poaching happening. they are now poisoning the vulchers. it's a terrible trade and unfortunately san francisco is one of the centers of this rhino horns trades and we have to be very firm in san francisco that it's not okay and we are not participating in the extermination of these animals any whenever in the world. so the legislation does support this important piece of legislation. then finally two in memo memoriam. the first is greg gut nick, a fix you are -- fixture in the neighborhood. he was a homeless man. he was able to pull himself up and became housed and no longer living in the valley and continued to participate in the neighborhood and volunteer for over a decade in the farmers market and just a wonderful person and beloved in the neighborhood and he suddenly passed away recently and it's very very tragic and as mentioned by a few colleagues i am submitting a memoriam and requesting that be on behalf of the entire board, bob morales, the great leader for the teamster and film commissioner. he was born in el salvador and came to the u.s. in 1958 and served in the u.s. army, a member of the plaster union and business representative for teamsters local 350 as secretary treasure. he also served as the teamster joint council secretary treasure for a number of years. he was the president of the national teamsters hispanic caucus and the california spanish teamsters and the welfare trust for the bay area teamsters and teamsters retirement plan. he's been recognized by so many organizations, by congress, by the state legislature, and by the city of san francisco because he was such a great human bean -- being and on a personal level bob was a laborer that i got to know really well when i got involved in politics years ago. he was just a solid person and one of those leaders that really politics can be so hard sometimes as we all know and he was one of those people that was so straight forward and sincere and just a great person. late last year in october or november, i called him and he e didn't return my call which is very not like bob. he's usually one of those people that calls you back within an hour. so i was able to learn that he was very sick and had really gone into effectively conclusion. -- seclusion. he was with his wife and he passed away. >>supervisor london breed: colleagues can we do this in memoriam for bob morales without objection? >> so moved. >> today we are calling for a status implementation of the selective participatory budget process for fiscal year 2014. last year my office organized a participatory program yoing district 3 and 10 last year. the residents were involved and submitted funding and they were working with the staff to finalize the project and selected the projects that would receive funding. district have sought the highest number of the voters cast, thousands throughout the district voted online demand person. nine projects were funding under the safety category for a total of 160,000 and six projects were funded in the general project category totaling about $100,000. the projects included funding for park improvements, interactive radar speed signs and scholarships for teens. this year, we will be supporting the continuation for the second year of this part icipatory program. we are really excited about it. however one of the things we want to make sure is that people don't get disappointed with the implementation of these projects. so with this hearing, i want to ensure that we keep our promise to the residents who spend hours and hours preparing the projects and getting people to vote. 6 months after the vote, only handful of projects have been completed. i want to ensure that we keep our promise to our residents and deliver these projects as soon as possible. i hope you schedule this hearing soon and hear from mta, recreation and parks and office of economic and workforce development and library and san francisco unified school district toll on our lives for -- on a time line to complete these projects. i normally don't make announcements on what's going on in the district. i wanted to highlight this particular thing. there is going to be a new senior program that will be starting and will have their kickoff on monday. we have over 22 percent of our residents 65 and older and yet we have one program in the whole district which is why ymca is serving seniors. i worked with the elderly and said please come and have a program. it's sad that we have so little services for seniors. i'm happy to say we are starting that and in fact we have a partnership with recreation and parks because as you know their playground club houses are primarily empty because they don't have the funding to have staff to operate it like they use to. we are going to use the portal clubhouse for 20 hours a week for programming. i also want to close this meeting in memory of two very outstanding city . dorothy adams who passed away january 3rd rd. i really want to thank the chronicle reporter lynette for bringing this to our attention. as you know we celebrate many heroes in our city nation including martin luther king jr. and many other people that deserve a lot of attention in dealing with and in fighting racism. well, we don't necessarily always recognize those that do things in our neighborhoods and in which they also contribute to that fight. dorothy had already broken one color barrier when she became the first african american to manage the business and she also modeled the macy's and san francisco jewish center and world magazine. she loved tap dancing and loved jazz and married one of the san francisco's first black police officers. mr. adams. in 1959, this story needs to be told because as you know someone that were here, well, a few of us that were here in 1959 in san francisco remember when willie mays tried to buy a home. he thought he could buy a home anywhere and his authority was a super star and tried to buy a home and was rejected because he was black. well, in 1959, like many other young families in san francisco dorothy adams and her husband ended up owning a home. unlike their children, they had to do house hunting at night. they found a home in westwood park where i live but like many other communities across the country, the park has racist restrictions within their ccnr's. believe
