are holding the executive officers of pubically traded company forces their excess contemplate how fragile our country's middle-class have become and reveals the forced has been operating our economy has continued to grow but it is done at the expense of the hard working people we're a top-heavy nation banning the dream as i mentioned in the basis around vetting in the free city college movement our country's middle-income the largest classes here in america has sullen and become smaller our low income communities san francisco has the wide it income gap from the country awhile medium wages have been stagnate with the cost of living it's grown as a unprecedented rate over nine hundred percent since 1998 since the quote stay an pay requirements by the dog consumer protection those who to landmarked this inequality have the tools to take legislative action we know in reply the average ceo's was seven hundred and 74 to one not only on the job numbers are a misrepresentation of the employees values the excess compensation effects the performance in the long run in 2016 out of one hundred companies with the 15e78 s&p were the highlight and the temple companies with highest csos underperformed by 5 percent costing their investors money they that's what where we come in public employees may not that of themselves with the power to influence we are and pension funds across the country all over the world manage magnificent portfolios that contain many of pumping traded companies now required to report the data those are taxpayers dollars and the fund of your employees with the a.d. vented the stay on pay compensation manned by doug frank those leverage the individuals to vote against executive compensation packages last year the state of wisconsin and the florida modification voted against 73 percent, 82 and 84 of pay packages respectfully here in san francisco we only voted against 7 percent of the exists fee that's why the board the san francisco board of supervisors should urge them to consider the compensation reports of pay ratios for sf first and the portfolio and those use our permittee power to limit the excess compensations we know that is having an impact on the city we see the growing homeless impoverished families in san francisco those actions should be in accordance with the sf policy the ownership the equalities interests in concert with other owners to have theville social issues and increased transparency requirement have revealed excess pay and who this negatively impacts the individual employees but a negative knock out effect for stakeholder and results in the economy as a whole i mentioned many of the companies may their ceo underperformed and have an impact on the investment of our employees and stated in the resolution those studies show that the companies with the highest disparities with the workers underperform worst we also found it the diversity on the board of supervisors has been linked to better performance as well i want to thank supervisor cohen that served as the president of sf first working closely with us and also her suggestions and amendments i'm introducing a set of amendment that have been distributed to the members of the board i want to enforce we have a fiduciary to the employees and or so report but as you see only continues to make the case that while this is a small sheriff's deputy but this fulfilling our fiduciary duties and hopefully, we can encourage more stays and states across the country to follow florida and wisconsin and hopefully san francisco as well colleagues would love our support on the amendments i have distributed and, of course, on the overall resolution and finally, i want to also acknowledge and thank our retirees that ton would one and local 1021 for ref this and work, working but as you before i call on commissioner cohen can i have a clear explanation of your amendment the therefore, be it resolved urges the sf to use the proxy voting power in a fail and pay votes to elopement the compensations and sophisticating can you explain what this specifically does. >> this is actually the heart of resolution the resolution is to urge our employment retirees to use the proxy power as an investor in you pubically traded companies in the portfolio to vote no on the fee compensation and asking for sf to develop a set of guidelines to examiner what is excess and what is in the and asking for a guidelines before the end of this year to consistently vote yes or no on the chiefs fee compensation as i mentioned as a major stakeholder in the pubically traffic accident companies we as investors can vote on ceo compensation and over the last couple of years we're stat to see that public entities the state of with his was a and the state of minnesota have started to vote and as i mentioned start voting no on 73, 84 percent of pay packages that come before that city and county of san francisco has only voted on 7 percent this is to encourage us to begin that practice we believe that not only is the - it is important, important the country and workers it does impact the performance of companies that the companies that have the worst and most excess fees tend to underperform other companies. >> thank you for if clarity. >> commissioner cohen. >> good afternoon good to see you all here commissioner kim for working with the advocates and getting this before us and thank you, again you're leadership a couple of things i wanted to maybe talk through first, i wanted to talk about dodd frank for the consumer protection act this is a offered an opportunity to improve the transparent and accountability in the meddled national corporations particularly that the retirement board has a financial stake this is incredibly important piece of reform legislation i want to temper that your hearing ongoing xfks that president trump might be looking at this is proven to be a fiduciary imperfect that means that till when boards is exists diverse and anymore people of color they're making very long and more sound investments and incorporating the people with with diverse backwards they allow the business country's or more importantly recognize opportunities i want to note that the san francisco employment system is responsible for managing $20 billion to support the pensions for some of the cities tireless workers nurses and muni operators it includes police officers and even includes us right here on the chamber floor today whale the staff has done an excellent job and the best performers in this class of peers we have a $4 billion unfunded liability $4 billion with a b unfunded liability we're not fully funded if we pay out everyone's pension we'll be short by that amount being $4 billion and a large part of standing up for workers making sure that we are there to protect our own like those who retired and depending on the pension as president of the board i wanted to recognize we don't want to limit the staffs ability to invest in the returns forces the city workers but use the tools to demand transparent and accountability in our investment so that's why we continue to lead connecting the dots with continue the residential hotel of our investment to our workers and community so commissioner kim i'm happy to support this legislation i want to encourage everyone here on the board to support this legislation thank you. >> thank you commissioner cohen commissioner fewer. >> yes. through the chair to the supervisor can i be added as a sponsor. >> thank you commissioner fewer. >> commissioner kim. >> i want to thank commissioner cohen to add this to the resolution own particularly on women this is of interest to our janitor board of supervisors only 60 percent of board of directors have pubically traded companies are women and seven hundred and 38 public companies that have zero women on their board of directors it is important and i believe that actually is really if we could for the companies bottom line to be on the board of directors so colleagues, i want to again acknowledge commissioner cohen for your work and as president of this board and colleagues ask for your support on this all the time item. >> just for clarity commissioner kim in our amendments you intentionally struck out on page 3 line 21 pubically traded that was intentional; correct? >> on page 3 i'm sorry line 21. >> yes. >> okay because i think part of it was counter to what i heard you say. >> no, no we took that out it is not necessary it is companies in the sf or adoption portfolio it was just more of a editing issue. >> thank you commissioner cohen. >> thank you commissioner breed i want to acknowledge commissioner kim and quantify it is true when you add women and people of color to any boards within the finance community what specifically we found it funds do better with a more robust gain i wantedo add that. >> thank you and colleagues

management audit when we first came into office it was two days after a gentleman in our district was shot and it was very clear after the fact an officer-involved shooting was clear after the fact

housing for families with children policy paper this is an initiative i encouraged the city to par take in through a resolution that authorized in 2015 i'm really happy to have this hearing i'm just sad that considering the stories we've heard of jackie that would have happened 5 years ago i was deeply concerned about the loss of our children population to the that the three san francisco has the lowest percentage of children population in the entire country the board in 2014 became alerted and supported the 2014 children's fund known as prop c at the time to include our children, our families council to be created i get it. >> oh, to create a vision for children and families to succeed in san francisco i'm glad to report that mayor ed lee and our school superintendent has taken the goals seriously and recorded the results to the board next month like all of our colleagues on the board am troubled with the housing affordability for many years now our housing discussion for a long term if take the housing needs of families with children take into consideration ray hart for san francisco open government. the income level that was hearted breaking to me some time changes and population change but this thing the city has given up on serving the families population even though the presidential developments included 20 two bedrooms and sometime three bedrooms unit young couples and newborns were moving out of the city as we may as well place a sign you know those signs when our enter into the city for the freeways and so forth it says well to san francisco maybe below we need to put a sign that says families with children not welcome especially for those that are low and middle-income i started asking about the family housing i found out a few things affordable housing developers were better at building spaces for families they were clearly not building enough of them developers were not building them developers know how to build them and family-friendly housing and in the next 10 years 0 san francisco population is projected to grow by 200 thousand moaning we may have an additional 26 thousand more zero a 18 where are they going to live and san francisco didn't have my official language defining family housing that's why i ask city planning to start this exercise by flushing out the elements they make for family-friendly housing i also asked staff to explore the policy ideas the nice thing some cities in the country and all around the world have explored the family-friendly design and developed tools with the sglz and works to encourage housing for families it is good to know we can have to start from scratch the planning department staff and i have present the draft paper to several bodies and corrected the feedback along the way the groups are the planning commission, spur, family support network and other stakeholders so the version we have today has had the benefit of collect minds i want to as many policy idea to be included in the report because regardless of if i personally agree or disagree with the specification we support the fred blackwell is too important to leave any idea off the table a time to dissect and analysis the mirror of each of idea to fully debate them in the future we need to look at how to make the units in the largest development more family-friendly for the sake of simple mrirt for large development are one hundred or more units overall they'll be part of the larger developments and high-rises in the year 2015 housing inventory report that 4 thousand 1 hundred units were building permit approved for at issue at the time 62 percent of those new units were in buildings greater than 200 and 50 units meaning the units that are being built were built in high-rises i'll give you one example doesn't take a rocket scientist in 2016 the mission rock development was approved that development is building 15 hundred units so we need to look at that we also need to discuss how we can also push for more family-friendly housing in smaller elements like the duplications and try perplexes built 200 years ago and bring those things back today, i hope to the presentation we will inform our future building about how the family-friendly housing for about children especially for that those that are low income and middle-income we have passed a policy resolution to ask the planning department to officially include what the definition officially include with a definition of family-friendly housing that the elements that make investments family-friendly by design onto the general plan what are these elements? what are policies we need to consider? what more can we do every single day to attack the families to our city let's focus those on the bigger decision without the merits of bigger legislation before us i want to thank john rahaim and his planning department staff that worked on that paper and susan, and sheila i lost wanted to thank my staff jim leo for working on this effort as well i want to right now i'm going to turn it over to john rahaim the director of the planning department thank you i need to explain the order of the hearing thank you supervisor yee okay. so we will have a 10 minute presentation from the planning department and then we will open up to public comment testimony so after questions from the board members and possibly supervisor yee so director rahaim so, please come forward >> john rahaim with the planning department i want to thank supervisor yee for his leadership and a member of our families our children council it is a valuable forum over and over for those issues and reiterate to susan and others and my office for pulling this together and putting it together i'm going to go through introductions and sue about give you a little bit of background and i'm come back with possible solutions we think there are there's data we gathered on this issue as well as what we think are barriers to this issue and the potential problems i want to emphasis that the attracting the families with children to the city is not just about housing this presentation today is about housing but we think there are 5 broader buckets we need to be addressing as a city their listed and obviously family-friendly housing is the key one we'll talk about today and obviously childcare and schools are important and access to parks and open space and recreation and transportation and, of course, safe and clean neighborhood they're important to addressing the families to the city today, our focus is on housing i'm going to turn it over to sue and come back with wrap up. >> good afternoon, supervisors with the planning department staff so why do we want to retain families in the city a couple of benefits we've outlined sustainability and public health benefits to allow the children with different transportation modes in the environment and a city for all that is safe for our most vulnerable population our youth and population that creates a city that is safe for everyone the cultural diversity the kids provide the diversity and benefits in this diverse environment a able to age in place as you go through different life stages and have kids we in san francisco have been known as a city with the fewest number of households with children of new city thought country a button of 18 percent of our households have kids and this is vicinity of december any look at new york and la their opposite end the spectrum not co-related with dense as the percentage of kids the city has that graph shows the total population in red and our child population in blue i often get the question is that the case have we lost children that happens around 1990 and 80 hit the mark of 20 percent of households and under this is dips and peaks here and there you can't tell from this i'll talk about in a second the increase from 2009 a 2014 we are starting to see this line in family population increase we wanted to get agree look at what your families look like what is the compositions that is income data using 2014 constant dollars it changes from 2000 to 2014 how is the change then i think this is something we've talked about the significant increase in the waesht it family over one and 50 thousand and also you see the dip in those other families the families making between 25 and $100,000 over time also want to look at what the racial and its this is data from 2014 which is most negotiate the increase in the white population and the decrease in the asian and the black population this is the population of our kids in the city and then look at where our kids live this data is here showing the explanation so the concentration for the number of households in the neighborhood that have children bayview between 20 and thirty percent of households having children but the absolute numbers as you can see there are a number of kids downtown and neighborhood we don't think of having a lot of children so where are we going to go from here what this is what our population looks like we have a cohort in the 20 to thirty-year-old is a millennial population we want to see if this is a increase in population when they people have children the average age is 33 we want to see this well studied generation that is expressing on want for driving the market where are they going next. so working with sfusd is one source of data projections and they have proejtd that they expect a significant increase in enrollment from 2014 to 2028 this is our high and low projections they will increase from 23 hundred and 60 to over seven hundred thousand kids in the sfusd district we wanted to look at the cities what they're doing in this area so we looked at vancouver portland and northwest and over australia how to make the misrepresent living better and so with that, we identified 3 barriers to accommodating families with children affordability, the size of units, and the child family-friendly features i'll go through each of those right now i think that is something we're all familiar with the affordability this for a medium family of one and two thousand dollars that family what purchase is a house that is prices as three hundred and 91 thousand and the medium price in 2015 was nine hundred a 6 hundred thousand gap that same family will rent a unit that has costs about $3,000 and the medium rental price is $4,800 dollars one other look at affordability this graph that shows in 2015 we took a snapshot of for sale the listing price of a two bedroom unit and found what was most favorable for the families making one and two thousand dollars 9 percent of unit that are listed met the criteria james that unable has gotten worse since 2015 the next barrier the size of unit so this data represents from 2005 and after 2005 and what you see i think most notably the shift from the large 3 plus to smaller studios the one and 2 have stayed steady as is number of units built another thing we wanted to do in relation with the fact it is obviously the vast that majority of housing we want to understand where our families are living on the color of bottom of graph that is families they're living in studios one bedroom and 0 two bedroom and three bedroom i want to understand how we're looking this and who is living in if a little bit better that he finally we talked about another barrier that is the child's family-friendly features the image on the left compared to the image on the right two developments how they've chosen to look at the features in the courtyard space i'm going to turn it over to john to talk about what what we can do >> i will try to do this quickly just to wrap up 5 areas of that we should proceeded to understand and to move forward with this issue one is to understand to stabilize the existing housing to adapt and allow the flexibility in the housing stock for more child friendly features to understand the existing housing authority no matter how much housing stock families live in the existing housing we don't knows who is live and work in the housing the make up of overseeing families the incomes and so on we want to better understand that to move forward secondly, we are working sdem with many of our offices as well as the mayor's office on stabilizing the existing housing stock our work in the mission the 2020 plan was adapted all are intended to help to stableize the housing stock and want to expand that allowing flexibility and other example, of course, is the adu legislation that you have voted and the state mandated we think allowing for accessary dwellings is one way of keeping people in their homes and allowing a more flexibility in the type and style of housing stock and, of course, looking at child friendly features 3 scales the neighborhood, the building scale and the neighborhood scale i'll wrap up there is a full discussion of missing middle the middle-income and the certain types of housing that was once built often not built today, we want explore those the immediate next steps the resource guide to actually work with the developers an child friendly features to study the prelims and move forward with the existing housing study with that, i'll close i'm available to answer any questions. >> thank you mr. rahaim can you talk about the missing housing. >> shoourl housing i mean it is really two ways to talk about that middle-income housing which clearly the income level that is at least served by the type of housing for example, many of the types of building two or three story buildings in neighborhoods in the 210 east and 30's many of them mixed in with single-family and we think there are solutions we can look at that will allow this type of housing to go into somewhat lower density neighborhood in strategic locates for more family-friendly and affordable courtyard and housing more generous backyard and roof decks this sort of mill height and middle density, if you will, not been built in the city many a very long time. >> thank you and last question before i open up to my colleagues here did you do now work around the numbers in terms of missing income layer at planning. >> we certainly are the numbers in terms of the housing supply that we're building and . >> exactly. >> i don't have those with me today i believe the percentages are quite low and i'm sorry not the housing supply but in the pipeline build but missing in the pipeline in terms of exploring middle-income and we know that some of that supervisor the middle-income we don't track middle-income housing we only track blow a certain level typically from the market what housing and, postage that but the number we know in terms of meeting our goals on each income level the levels that are at least being compromised right now. >> thank you supervisor ronen. >> yes. thank you for the report definitely many interesting components he noticed how thin the discussion of forgot was in the report you admitted that was a - the issue that is eclipsing others and family see are finding it difficult to live in this city i was surprised that is my interested area and we would have benefited from the affordable housing and what we can do that that . >> - it is not one magic solution to increasing the stock of affordable housing but look at all the measures and certainly willing to look at more detail. >> in a report for housing four children none of those issues are mentioned it is a glaring absent from the report. >> thank you supervisor ronen supervisor peskin thank you, madam president i was interested in the 5 or of slide depending on how you count the slides the challenging composition of families by in case and further to what supervisor ronen said it is and given the backdrop of inclusionary conversation that we're all having and that your commission is about to hadirect rahaim it you look at this lied one profound thing the surprise surprise is growing remarkable between 2014 and the highest bracket has shot up and the lowest bracket is up so the rich are richer and the poor is poorer no question about that but the folks making the families making $50,000 or less account for 28 percent the folks making one thousand dollars or more are almost 50 percent not to put two fine a point but thirty percent are making over one and 50 that middle slices i'm in no way quibbling that we need to provide housing for middle-income families but that middle thing between 50 and one hundred accounts is the smarter of those 3 categories at the 23 percent so i take a issue with everything focused at the middle believe me as the co-sponsor of prop c that added a requirement for middle-income housing it is certainly something i want to address and indeed trying to address but so far as we're looking at the spices of pie more families making under 50 then between 50 and one hundred i wanted to say that on the overview the conversation we're about do engage if. >> thank you supervisor malia cohen's commissioner tang pursue thank you. i want to thank supervisor yee for xhaej the planning department staff on this work i mean, i hear loud and clear with supervisor peskin said but i'll say we certainly know there are many families that really don't qualify for the programs we have here in san francisco i do feel that given some of the information we've seen the fact that you know other pages of this presentation the skyrocketing number of studios and one bedrooms units that are built have been built since 2005 than typically built that is a problem we've been trying to provide for more accountable student housing and lower the anytime's square footage we creating other problems; right? not allowing for some of the families with children to be able to continue to live in two bedrooms or three bedrooms units that's part of important mix i don't have have questions but i'll be curious to follow the guidelines that i think you'll be putting out in family-friendly amenities for you future development i've been trying to incorporate into the home sf we should incentivizes and encourage that whenever possible i don't know what we can do i'm sorry. >> that's not a page number we're looking at the unit size we can also do in terms of aside from the hope sf program to insure that moving forward we're not just building san francisco's and one bedroom types of buildings. >> exemplary i'm getting over a cold we have reminded for a number of two bedrooms we are considering changes to that that is important to point out the vast majority of cities affordable housing programs today are oriented towards people .55 percent of ami or lower because of the low income go tax programs that subsidies the housing another 50 percent of ami or lower we're in a catch-22 with federal and local programs certainly only that income level today and we know there will be robust debate how much of city's program should, closest to low income housing. >> how w can we address do skyrocketing increase in the number of studios and guess one bedrooms are not increasing but the studios i mean have i mean looks like tripled the amount that were built between 2005 i can require more two bedrooms or three bedrooms but understand the economics what some developers tell me as san francisco heirs prices for a three bedroom you can buy a single-family in san francisco i don't know what to those numbers are real or not a demand for them in misrepresent family building i don't know the specifics i've been asking the questions of developers for 5 years no, not more three bedrooms unit that is often the answer he get it is a question of looking at the economics of those things we want to understand a little bit better if we could unreasonable require three bedrooms and four bedrooms and what is the occasion for that. >> well, i'll not ask any more questions but we'll continue to engage in this conversation about our missing middle. >> what that means and everyone has a different idea of middle and moderate under the circumstances i call the roll. >> have my own ideas but thank you for working on this report. >> supervisor tang thank you. i couldn't agree with you more 55 percent of ami that is a family of 4 making roughly $59,000 a year anything above that typically a family of $460,000 they can't qualify for many affordable housing that's at the heart of conversation we're talking about middle-income sadly, a low income category inform a family of four without the support of affordable housing typically find an affordable place to stay we're not building more market-rate so a problem we have and need to deal with that supervisor safai. >> supervisor breed took all my comments i'm kidding this is an interesting part of the conversation you do have a lot of time in our presentation i had questions about the i think that is interesting to see that over thirty percent of our housing authority is what families are living from our data so over thirty percent the families in our excited housing authority are living in three bedrooms or more so i don't know if you want to talk a little bit about and you didn't have time to talk about was not just necessarily the missing middle-income families but the type of housing in terms of towns and the bungalow what that means we haven't dug into that conversation even though type and style of housing effects the teaches people that is targeted toward and people that live that there can you talk a little bit about talking about that i want to hear more. >> if i can address the second point first excuse me. one the fundamental things we look at is the whether a project has kind of protected child friendly open space high-riseings building have open space that is protected if streets has simply have more children is it a fundamental issue and particularly we'll you talk about this in the design manual open space that has eyes from shared space like a laundry room an immediate benefit for those their attracted to those kinds of buildings few buildings are designed that way because of incentives of marketing that's one example how the buildings can be looked at many other faster than and storage is another for bicycles, storage important strollers all the things that housing didn't have those are features we can build into the projects. >> i meant going to your slide the one that says missing middle we don't see a lot of this type of housing built you don't see a lot of duplications and supervisor yee was saying in his opening comment try perplexes and courtyards can you can you talk a little bit about from a planning perspective how you can design that encourage the developers to build that a. >> it is a combination the zoning works people the developers are typically max out the zoning so you can build two family units in an rh-2 but the development in rh-2 because of build out to it requires the removal of typical housing we don't like to do that one question that is a somewhat pro-vodka questions but strategy places in rh-1 or rh-2 we can allow large buildings like the photographs on this page to allow higher density building in lower e district i'm simply suggesting something we can look at otherwise given the land economics of that city developers will max out everything in the current zoning envelope. >> right what about the idea of accessary dwelling accessary dwelling or rear yard set back requirement but oftentimes people want to expand but have open space and light and air and might be no one an affordable way for rh-1 or rh-2 or rh-3. >> we certainly encourage the adu's they're not allowed in some districts we think those can be compromised and provide for the open space of the light and air but we're looking at that as well. >> okay and then the only thing i want to point out that is something i'm proud of we talk about that a lot you look at the map where the children are located and the pure numbers on the map in district 10 and 11 the highest concentrations under the age of 18 that is the highest rate of owner you opted out homes. >> thank you supervisor safai supervisor fewer yes, thank you i have a couple of questions so in my neighborhood seniors we have a lot of rh-2 and rh-1 homes and rh-3 actually in my neighborhood with the richmond there are seniors that live in single-family homes that maybe no longer appropriate for them or meets their needs or not safe i want to explore that to build senior housing and allow our elders to allow them to live in the neighborhood. >> same time have a way to purchase their single-family homes for families with children. >> what do you think about a. >> it is an idea worth exploring. >> when i'm looking we're talking about this middle so i'm looking about the ratio i'm looking at the changing composition of children in san francisco an increase in the wealth it families as this slide shows we see a stark decrease in the black families with black children in san francisco i need more democrat graphic information who are living in the 3 and 4 and 5 bedroom homes who are those families building in there and who are the families living in studios and one bedrooms with three children so i would like to know by in case like race this is a type of - i think when we are looking at this middle income are we have to look at race san francisco quite frankly we pride users on racial diversity that looking at this chart i have to say that is a appalling and i think that is called for alarm i think that, yes, we need to build for the middle but build to a encourage racial diversities instead of actually increase the out migration of people in san francisco we see that as the ratio in san francisco is while we see that there is an increase in the wealthiest families i think that someone who is building for families needs to build for all racial groups the average income and see if we can build to keep them here also 0 i don't think that that was actually mentioned and then i want to speak about office of economic workforce development development and what kind of jobs are we attracting after being on the school board for 8 years 90 percent of students are students of color and i think that you know as we look at this composition the families in to we have to keep in mind had we build we would like to build for as many families and coordinate the buildings and is density with actually, the opportunities for i don't remember from a public building new public schools and be sync with the development and development for those schools and given the lack of site so for affordable housing in any neighborhood most are small in the richmond's but promote the affordable housing on those sites. >> sorry you're asking what are the ways on a small site program it is primarily intended to be acquiring existing use the question we're looking at that as an - the existing small site program to require excuse me - and so the question given the lack of large sites more affordable housing development in any neighborhood the richmond what alternatives place to promote the production in any neighborhood the majority of the sites are small site program and one of the things how many units can be permitted in those sites whether zoning we can look at there or whether speak changes to yard requirements that accommodates some large units on those sites those are things we'll have to explore moving forward we need to understand more about the economics of this issue. >> which i don't know said the economics of building child friendly housing we need to understand more and one person spoke a minute ago about rebuilding knocking down buildings and repurposing them for more units in any district those are rent-controlled units those are buildings built in 19 it 2 and thirty that eliminates a lot of affordable housing in any neighborhood that families are currently living in actually, their rent-controlled and the majority are rent-controlled so i think that is just for consideration that when we talked about eliminating buildings and knocking the buildings down in 2014 and rh-3 areas you mentioned i'd like to point out the reason he keep 70 percent of my neighbors as renter including families those buildings are rent-controlled. >> just to be clear i'm not advocating for moving existing housing in any way, shape, or form but looking for locations increase that density to create housing we need but certainly will not advocate for moving the existing housing in any locations. >> the report talks about the missing middle part of building as potential building in rh-1 and rh-2 that are currently not allotted those 3 and 4 story apartments as adu's how can we insure that results in housing that is affordable to the majority of families with children and not add to the glut of luxury housing. >> that's the problem in front of us that's what we're all trying to figure out. >> that's the big question thank you very much. >> thank you supervisor fewer supervisor kim. >> first of all, i want to recognize supervisor yee for his leadership and his offices leadership in pushing the planning department to have this conversation about how we can built more family-friendly housing and think about the overall city planning to accommodate families to a greater extent i enjoyed reading the report one statistic that disappeared me we have dramatically reduce the numbers of the percentage of overall pops that 18.9 percent 0 thirty years ago now thirty percent i thought the number would have dropped more when you breakdown by in case where we saw the biggest loss of families and in seeing also that the families that can't afford to live in san francisco is no surprise are high income families and seeing a slight rise in families that make over 100 percent thousand dollars that is surprising because thought we're not accommodating in the housing market and for families that make over one and $50,000 but to reiterate supervisor peskin point there is still an incredible need building housing for families that make between 25 and $100,000 a year we've seen the exit of families in that income bracket and it certainly makes sense that we would try to have more of an layers focus working with the developers they're building multiplied bedroom units for families of 4 that makes between 25 and $100,000 a year i was interested in a lot of the kind of the ideas that the planning department staff recommend that he i think they're all great it is great to look at you know where we should require large misrepresent unit drelz to live in smaller units to store onsite a misrepresent bedroom units on lower floors like courtyards and having i guess the guest suits is a cool idea to family members can visit there are a lot of great ideas i guess allison park asking the harder questions when will we implement those i - i mean the crisis is now; right? we don't have a lot of time to implement those ideas the second question after the cu for childcare facilities moindz that for the first time in a long time a supervisor is talking about waving the conditional use authorization process for childcare facilities so those are the two questions one when do we implement some of the ideas that are in the planning department staff report and second what is the question about the cu for childcare facilities. >> the answer on boss of those we're working on them and clearly working on the inclusionary and is hope sf and all the programs that will look at the issue ever affordability we are completing the design a manual that is actually 80 percent of the way through that 70 or 80 percent so that manual is on its way coming very soon and then the question there will be a large question we'll need more discussion with the development community and all of you with community members to require in terms of the number of bedrooms, in terms of child family-friendly features get smarter about think economics we don't know that i'd like to devolve into that and childcare commissioner johnson a has been interested we often with getting foe childcare facilities in the city with new development because of very stringent on-street parking open space and egress and putting childcare because of egress issues for example, and in a city that is vertical now it is that's becomes a challenge so we're looking at issues of making childcare facilities easier in existing housing as well as looking at the issues of the state level some other states have done that by the way, looting somewhat changing status to make the childcare facilities easy in urban settings, if you will. >> i'd like to ask new york city do they have a large population of the families you see a virtually when our there what do they do to accommodate the childcare. >> i don't know the specifics i think that is massachusetts has has done work at that level for urban settings off the top of my head but we can get that for you. >> that is an important issue i know that supervisor yee cares deeply about the childcare as you may know i represent a community that is density and woefully lack in childcare facilities and a school i want to couch with sfusd but i know i hope we're able - far greater need for childcare that's the point that families are willing to be here in san francisco we clearly have an amenity for that i'll urge we start to implement many of the things the concepts as quickly as possible into the planning process and role i mean not a stripping number but stark when you hear is that 2 percent of private parcels are rh-1 and rh-2 that means we're reilly depending on a small percentage of city parcels to bear the burden of accommodating the city's growth and hopefully our city's family i just think that is a huge conundrum for san francisco and as we talk about things like local density bonus program and this is a huge you know no, no to discuss but i just - i think that is impossible to talk about how you'll build for families housing if we don't talk about density in the rh-1 and rh-2 i just think the numbers here are stark and we have to expect all of san francisco to contribute to our housing density especially, if we want to keep diversity and families here in san francisco the one thing i was a little bit heartened but we're not doing worse on the two bedrooms that surprise me not the immense studios i'm unhappy to see we've stagnated or the same an two bedrooms but clear that is a huge void when you get to 2, 3, 4 and 5 bedroom counts they complain about the 3 bedrooms and more but we need to talk about the city's feasibility in being a healthy and workable city not building those three bedrooms or had bedroom units i don't think that two bedrooms are enough for a family not anymore but most of our families here in san francisco we're going to see families leave we're pushing developers to build for two bedrooms i hope we can have a robust conversation about the thursday over the next couple of months we talk about the reminders for that three bedroom units and more i want to thank the planning department staff there are good ideas i said to make sure that we start implementing that and we really look out the data around incomes we talk about what we need it be building it is very easy to say you know low income, middle-income but people have different definitions i think the numbers show where we need to be building and who we need to be building for, thank you supervisor yee for bringing this to those entire board. >> if i may supervisor on the one issue of rh-1 and rh-2 every city is grapple with if you add do pdr space it is 80 percent of city so that essentially this is a number i've used in the past about 80 percent of more of the city's development is happening on 20 percent of city's lands that is the case in our city for a long term and my colleagues are grapple with that seattle as you know and other cities ways to density i don't know the answer but we're all grasp illegal with. >> thank you, supervisor kim. >> supervisor yee. >> there are more comments i'd like to make at the end a few people that want to do public comments so i'll keep it piece brief i want to mention about childcare as supervisor kim indicated i've been real passionate about making sure we keep on building for more means of childcare in the city i think there is a few things we're trying to do and one will be coming to you for a vote pretty soon for childcare homes for a priority of somewhat in the affordable units and i'm talking about that more when the time comes it is something that could create slots for about getting into the cu issues and so forth the other thing if we care about childcare in general it is something that i've said through every single developer that comes into may office and says here's our plan for the development and the first question i asked them what is the childcare to the point that most of developers come into and say here's the childcare or this is what we'll try to do about it we need ask more of us to say that so it becomes almost like they're not going to get much approval unless they add that in there that's why one the mission rock development included that is the development included a 20 thousand foot childcare with the fact i've mentioned it and it makes sense for their marketing plan to have it there was somewhat of a commitment for the 5m project for something similar i tried to urge that that's the way the discussion - that's what i want to say about childcare part of those localities those outside elements we need to pay attention to and so glad to hear you mention this but i believe there are some public comments at this time so. >> thank you supervisor yee thank you director rahaim and colleagues we'll open up for public comment if there are members of the public that want to speak specifically on this particular hearing please come forward this is not general public comment it is specific to our committee of the whole on this discussion. >> first speaker please. mbes of the board of supervisors ray hart for san francisco open government. i would like to first say this is a public hearing no copies of the report as requiredy the sunshine ordnance it is difficult to make effective public comment but i'll i'd like point out that exhibits the said set of planning department which is where we're talking about families with children we're talking about widow gets and chart and graphs and things that can be put into columns and put into statistics but little or no, if the talk about the human beings the people and children and families that are being affected by those problems i'm reminded of a meeting of the police commission they're talking about making funds available for crisis training for police officers in dealing with the mentally hunters point shipyard in my first police commission that was the same darn discussion they were having then and now we're having this a same discussion we've seen the carts we've seen the groofz you all seen those things over and over and over and over again, it is confusing activities with the achievement you talk and you talk and you talkie you talk and nothing happens hopefully pray to embody with a prominently female board of supervisors and with the progressive members who are male we will finally get action to take care of the families would women have traditionally through the history of mankind been the caregivers for this needs to move from talk talk talk to action action action and as far as who can come up it from you make that an incentive the people that build those buildings will make that happen. >> allow the women with children to come forward first please. >> good afternoon board of supervisors thank you for giving us us the opportunity to share our ideas i think that any guidelines for family-friendly housing should be a given for an experienced development and we should also - improve existing housing just for families because many of our families should be - live in substandard housing - (baby talk) but anyways that is i agree with the previous speaker that we can come up with the best of plans but especially implement them being nothing we put our money where it is worth thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is june bug a parent leader with the parent voices i'm also born and raised here in san francisco and my experience around housing as had an traumatic i become homeless in a child of the ellis act evictions and when this happened the city didn't come together to create affordable housing for children instead of is created a shelter system we're seeing today i believe that housing is a human rights we're talking assessable a lot of families with children that are struggling with families the reason i'm able to be housed is because of section 8 thank god for section 8 i don't know what ii would do but some families don't have it they have to rely on affordable housing but affordable for who we need to look at saerlt we need to make happen for the inclusion for disabled i have a child with cerebral with a special needs we also need housing that offers resources and reversals we need housing that offers wrap around support but a balance because a family shouldn't feel their institutionalized living in a program we need to be housing be housing and not institutional it's program housing thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i'm a district the resident i want to talk about how housing effects the victims of violation it is really i want to - it is really hard when ours is a victim of donors and find another place to live ♪ san francisco and get the money from victims ascertains relocation and get there and personally attacked in our own house it is sad because we are not against the donors and how and where did he move to again not another two bedrooms he can figure out so i want to tell you all because it just happened but think about those families the more family housing we have at least moderate and low income whatever income allows i'm a hud housing benefit holders i'm a veteran a disabled veteran because i'm disabled i get a hud back like a section 8 only for veterans there's a lot of us in the city that depends on i ask you all to think about it whether amber lee said do you want to move i

to supervisor yee on this topic it affects us greatly and holy family is located in the mission one and 54 families we serve and many families are homeless average 25 percent annually 25 percent of our families leave they don't have affordable housing the effects on the children and the choices hair encompassed o forced to live in group housing 12 - separate rooms with one family in each room i'd like to epic it is a complex issue but housing impacts the early childhood education teachers i have to take a moment and get you to understand we have 70 staff and 80 percent of the teachers travel outdoors outdoor we have an ongoing 5 vacancy for teachers for the last 4 years in the program thank you very much for considering our comments today. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon the preschool supervisor as heather mentions a earlier childhood program serving on one hundred families that are currently many families at the housing the stress of looking for shelters effects the children and adults in a different way due to the lack of affordable housing families are moving out of the city to be able to have their children's in the schools we have a young mother that is commuting if pilts and working hard to get our daughter ready and on bart by 9:30 and make her way to city college and holding up a part-time job the stress of commute prevents them from getting to school on time making her attendance spotty we welcomed another family with to daughters and two working apartments they proved moved from out of state to benefit from the resources we have their struggle for housing start in august and is ongoing they spend many nights sleeping in their cars and put their money together to afford a motel or hotel for their family oftentimes the cost of hotel prospectives them from providing food for themselves this prosperity their 20 two daughters from regular attendance we believe in uplifting the whole families family-friendly housing is hope for all families in san francisco. >> thank you for your comments next speaker, please. >> i'm also an advocate i often see homeless families come into to my office especially telling me they have no other place to go even with a voucher often families are offered homes not enough a space firing family it affect the entire family and the school the apartment at work i'm here to remind you to keep those family-friendly amenities alive a lot of the things are the distances where the developments are and schools are and also some of the developments they're lower levels often are clothing stores or offerly priced grocery stores those are things that are effecting our families please supervisors i ask you to keep family-friendly amenities alive here in san francisco thank you for your time. >> next speaker, please. >> hi good afternoon and thanks for thank you for having me i'm tiffany came all the way from oakland here if family-friendly oakland we're not having those discussions in my city i heard that was happening and thank you and appreciate you all especially supervisor yee for taking a leadership i'm envious of those discusses and said to just appreciate the report and our effort that are planning department staff has put into that particularly when it comes to what i call the has nothing to do with we're in need of you let - it is an issue that is close to my heart and hits close to home oakland didn't have a family-friendly reputation not very many families we permanently were ranked the least family-friendly state along with las vegas and at the same time in san francisco we there really are a lot of families that thrive and want to stay and need the resources to be here and so for the past two years i've been leading this volunteer after the kids go down for the night campaign called fire system to make sure that the family decisions and city planning efforts include people of all ages and incomes and households size and all abilities and really hope that you folks in san francisco, california have a sister program you know with family-friendly initiatives here in san francisco and i guess one last they know i will encourage you folks to incorporate playfulness not only in our homes but all of your infrastructure and again, thank you very much for your leadership i look forward to tweeting about you guys and bring our solutions back to my city to my folks in oakland. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> game-changer supervisors certainly a lot for playful when you have kids waiting in line thank you for the opportunity especially supervisor yee and appreciate our leadership and bringing this quite literally if everybody we absolutely support the needs for building we specifically look at the subsidized affordable housing in the city of san francisco we realized that is a solution for some unfortunately not a solution for those the vast majority of people that apply for the homes and project by project i hear from one o to 50 to 70 applicants actually get that lottery they're able to live here a number of short time things we can be doing we think are absolutely beneficial but raise the number of affordable units one of the ways especially given the national regulatory and financial climate to encourage the subsidized requirements and large numbers of family units in those developments projects looking to some long term solutions we do believe that the market-rate unit the market-rate units of today are the microfilm units of the next generation as mentioned the majority of members on the before do are females and parents and when some of your children are 20 and thirty and 40 years down the line we want that provide some of their answers today we believe there is a solution on this table you. >> i'll give her my card to give me a shout thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> good afternoon carpenter you commissioners are looking forward to looking at the monday meeting i'm speaking on behalf of myself i'm the parent of an almost 3 years old and married to a high school teacher before i moved to the east bay we went through the home buyer education program on the bayshore eligibility list for units i'll say no units that came throat pipeline from the two it was several years on the list we had to reapply almost none of units were about two bedrooms the vast majority were is to see and one bedrooms but those two bedrooms were not in location that are appropriate. raising and child under 5 it is dear to any heart that alongside the concern overseas to childcare are very much part of the concerns over teacher retention that have been raised in the meeting a major concern for m line we work on this side of bay and really you know want to encourage you to that about i completely appreciate the difficulties with bringing online more three bedrooms but how can we community-based about making sure that families with elders and children ends up in the two bedrooms unit bus xaernt without children what compete in the lottery with elders he experienced first hand the demands for housing when you have a child or a dependent elderly are much more dense more flexibility in terms of kinds of space and the logically and the kind of building before we had a child and so looking forward to work with you on the solutions and the commissioners are looking to learning more on monday and thank you supervisor yee for your attention this childcare issue as well >> next speaker, please. >> it up for hearing me i didn't expected to speak forgive my nervousness i'm a third yargsz my father works with the city and county of san francisco my grandmother had a performing workshop i'm likely to be the last to be a native born san franciscan i can't afford to live here my family was priced out in 02004 but also those who can't come back and be here it is disheartening and important i thank you for listening. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> combngz other people's money this is one that is makes sense i have two kids my could director has kids we're all drying trying to do do best that is not terrible family-friendly thanks to back in 2070 two supervisors took on the issues and sink their teeth into that thank you for pushing and don't say no until you get something affordable housing development i mean single families has been done so in many respect the advertisements not doing enough of it we're not getting enough to meet the needs but a broader issue beyond that is one paper that was automating the small united versus the larger exercised to existing that tells us folks the direction of san francisco demographics is changed by what we build if we want to change that and do something that takes bold policy moves you, you know frankly size matters we wrote a piece at the end off january in the examiner some go basic things and fought for this in the eastern neighborhoods plan and market octavia for that 40 percent unit mix is obviously not enough 3 things the citywide mix 40 or 50, and, secondly, in inclusionary bmr's the opponent affordable we can get a family 40 percent two bedrooms and other three bedrooms and lastly minimum unit size have to have that in san francisco we don't have minimum for housing thank you. >> >> next speaker, please. >> tom gilberty 29 in the apartments basically the new pardoning what we're building kids living in the place it depends on if you have two girls or boys you can get away with two bedrooms people that are lived there for a long, long time into their high school years two scandinavian girls one son of one of the officers in the management office below-market rate and other family with below-market rate one of the things you've got to do the overhead make that so this is rent-controlled those people left after their second increase in the rents this person had to move after their $600 rent increase that is my dad in old hud new york queens buildings basically rent-controlled this is what we're doing in san francisco right now kind of terrible we forbode to have a reenlightenment one of the he wants words reenvision our way of living here and back to the overhead and 5 plan we'll go to the fist part of 5 part housing plan and start with the bottom again 20 percent community specific needs low income affordable homes and seniors and veterans 15 years on having social security homeless, people from the northeast and then work up teachers and police that work in the city 20-year residents and more and more. >> thank you, thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> madam president my name is office of the city administrator to i'm a former forklift driver i wanted to thank the board for taking the pit full relatively speaking services for families and turning it into a wedge issue between the lowest income san franciscans and the microfilm thank you very much. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> i haven't stopped i'm getting started what family with a income between 50 and $100,000 not have kids in san francisco or san leandro you, you know that supervisor scott wiener noticed a the elephant in the room a single eninfant that was good enough to get elected to the state senate this room is filled with elephants it is when 20 adults one child if that entire family and people outside of country that is one child and crazy living in st. francis and has two houses her mother is an immigration lawyer you know what i see completely lacking in the discussion of our families the discussion you know talk about longshoreman's we have the lowest number of children of new major city in america the issues are so medicaid criteria even miserable that is what i want to talk about why is from the case. >> thank you very much. >> next speaker, please. >> i'm denise i was born socially conscious didn't have kids but a disability and i'd like to see more how are you for disability disabled folks built and minced the tenderloin has the highest concentration of disabled people probably in the country we're disabled folks month underserved population in san francisco and i'd like that to change because we're part of the community and productive members as well east even though we might have disables a lot of people don't have money it is hard to share a country with bill nefarious and share a city with bill nefarious and have them write the laws there is money in politics we have that's the core issues we'll have money in politics that is a problem so i'd like to thank you for your effort here to get housing and i hope it didn't make that a wedge issue like office of the city administrator to said thank you for listening. >> thank you very much >> next speaker, please. >> i find it bad that supervisor safai is not in the room on the screen or talking with other people that would behove him to the present. >> thank you very much any members of the public that wants to make public comment seeing none, public comment is closed. and this hearing has been held supervisor yee >> thank you, supervisor breed once again i want to thank the public for koutd and also the comments made by my colleagues to supervisors here on this particular issue i'd like to say that what he really wanted to do today was not create any wedge issue but for us to focus an issue of families with children and i think everything has been good about focusing on this the one thing i want to point out several of the people pointed out actually is a majority of women supervisors a majority of parent supervisors and i think for the first time in a long time we actually have a majority of supervisors that actually grew up in san francisco as children so not what you see it i'm hoping this is carry we grew up i had a great life as a child my two children juvy let's port the families to grow up in san francisco we're building some plays with two bedrooms and brooimz as soon as someone has a kid in those bedrooms they move out and mainly because of other things that john rahaim was talking about and his staff the characteristics of not only the units it's the building where's the play area at neighborhood where are the amenities or the things that a family needs where's the childcare and i realize that the people that were building affordable housing were actually doing well understanding the elements for the families not to say we're not building enough but when this he build they understand the market-rate development for whatever reason when they develop their units it didn't seem to take into consideration with the family needs not revenue bond oversight committee science the planning department staff has come up with them they're great element and need to support it i'm hoping that sooner than not part of our general plans and i think that all we need to do is the next step once the general plans of family-friendly development is to start asking for these things now people talked about using the neighborhood plans they have already some guidelines about how many multi bedroom units should be part of the development which is 40 percent i'm more introducing legislation and i've taushlgd talked with the developers with that to move because what they're doing now they're building mostly two bedrooms and again not accommodating the families so what i'm hoping to do is encouraging them to build more of the three bedrooms units they're not building right now and this is going to be to a traffic i don't want to talk about that right now but moving down the pipes with this. >> i think supervisor kim's comment is exactly how i feel now we have general policies let's implement things and make it so we can have families here not lose jackie people like jackie to north carolina come on and i'm hoping that a lot of you have introduced legislation that will be impactful for families i'll be introducing a lot more not in the grand scale you're talking about but little things we all can do and hopefully, you'll get behind once again i want to thank the planning department staff in particular the director john rahaim who i had the discussion with him like ore three years ago we have to do something about that we schemed about that and eventually they did something about it now i think that the ball is kicked back into our court as pooeshgzs to implement some of the policies thank you very much. >> thank you supervisor yee and this hearing is filed thank you so much for your leadership and i'm sure that discussion will continue all right. madam clerk let's go to our committee report. >> item 25 through 27 were considered by the land use and transportation committee to the a regularly hearing an march 13 and forwarded as recommend to the committee report item 25 an ordinance to amend the transportation code to establish a violation for bicycles part of a bicycle share left unattended on a point of view from the mta or the pbs and without a permit that ordinance authors the enforcements abatement or removal of an unpermitted bicycle and firms the ceqa determination and supervisor peskin. >> thank you, madam president i'd like to thank supervisor farrell for his co-sponsorship and early support this represents the first place that we're actually getting groven of an issue rather i've said repeatedly letting them ask for forgiveness after the fact we have a permitting scheme and thank you ed reiskin and dpw and mohammed nuru for their help in crafting this with the mayor's office and the it don't make any difference and urge your support. >> thank you seeing no other names on the roster, madam clerk on the item madam clerk, please call the roll. >> supervisor safai supervisor sheehy supervisor tang supervisor yee supervisor president london breed supervisor cohen supervisor farrell supervisor fewer supervisor kim supervisor peskin supervisor ronen there are 11 i's. >> the ordinances is passed unanimously on the first reading next item, please. >> item 26 a resolution to urge the california legislation and the governor to pass the california assembly bill introduced by sxhoubl arthur's a addendum technology both in the city and in the city of san jose. >> supervisor yee i mean, i'll keep this short we had a similar discussion this morning at the transportation authority meeting and but this is on a different audience i should mention some of the reasons why we're supporting i'd like to have us support this this is a resolution to support a bill that is coming up at the state level and it is something that we've asked for for several years and finally a piece of legislation that will go through it is a difficult piece of legislation and there is many, many groups going to get behind the idea to allow san francisco and san jose to utilities a proven tool to reduce fatalities collisions with and making is staffer torped torped torpedos pedestrians i'd like to have it done for all california start with san francisco and using the automated traffic - >> automated speed enforcement which means we'll utilities cameras to as a preventive tool for those who choose to speed he speeding is the number one, factor that will actually cause fatalities of pedestrians crossing the streets so just to summarize as that since we've had a full decision this morning i hope i'll be able to have all your support. >> thank you supervisor yee supervisor ronen hi i also wanted to repeat the comments at the transportation authority earlier today because it is a different audience i initially had concerns about the legislation for two reasons first, the concerns of privacy and the fact we are living in a culture where we are increasing under more and more government surveillance through the smart devices or on the streets to the cameras that is something that i don't believe it is a good thing for the society but then my second concern about this legislation was that we will continue to be nickel and diming the residents and charging additional fees that is increasingly hard to live in a city we had the whole hearing on family housing i'm not going to support this resolution urging passage of that legislation because i know that is assemblyman chiu is working to address the privacy concerns and make sure that any camera footage is limited to the license plate and that data stored and obtained will be closely held and people that are not be shared, and, secondly, that he's working with advocates to create a graduated fee for violations of the law so that all residents will feel the impact of that fee equally $100 might mean the to one person and makes the differences of another person putting good on the there is a motion on the table that evening i'm supportive of this resolution and i want to again thank supervisor yee on that. >> thank you supervisor ronen colleagues seeing no other names on the roster, same house, same call? and item 27 a resolution to approve an agreement agreement between the city and the pacific gas & electric consistently of w679d plus square feet of land running east to west on 1975 for an amount and authorize the director to execute the documents and take other actions colleagues, can we take that same house, same call? >> without objection the resolution is adapt unanimously let's go to roll call introduction for new business supervisor safai the first. >> thank you, madam clerk today, i introduce a resolution on something that was bring to our attention a horrendous situation you may have read the report when 27 people living in the dungeon a garage underground no light no windows one way in and out some were living there from 3 to 5 years one person 10 years and bring to our attention when we were called because the electricity had been shut off and they were fighting with the sub tenants we didn't know but pg&e asked them to put did electricity on they were some individuals living there with disabled that needed access to electricity to stay alive once we investigated further we sent the department of homelessness and my staff down interest in response to the human rights committee that was a garage subterranean underneath a landlord mat i walked by this location hundreds of times and didn't realize that people could be living there that didn't complaisance but the situation necessitated people to get out it was a life and death situation the result was 27 people will be homeless so we immediately contacted the department of building inspection the fire department and the agencies h s and action hms and supportive of housing and basically said those folks are like victims they've been take advantage and like fire victims overnight they'll be homes like in a fire we believe they should be treated as such for the first time in the history of this city the fire department issued a notice to vacate coupled with two months market-rate rent bus utilities for each individual tenants that remained for the few of them found family and extended family heirs those folks were one hundred bilingual and latino many were undocumented overtime we're talking about this sector of the population out-of-sight out of mind and often not seen but they're a separately part of committee in san francisco so today, the reason i'm bringing this forward we want real solutions and this this should a working group to talk emergency housing and safety conditions and thank god the story end positively we were able to get the saechlt to house this community 10 that are there but the idea to work with the sgavrm so we can find stable housing for them we like there to be a working group made up of the deducting department of health hsa and human services and the mayor's office and the department of building inspection and the department of homelessness and supportive of housing the planning department and the fire department with support from the city attorney's office who by the way, was wonderful in this situation and essentially was aggressive with the property owner they should be held accountability and hopefully, a lawsuit for taking advantage of those individuals but essentially this working group will indicate how prevalent are unauthorized and uninhabitable units across the city i think as a result of ghost ship in oakland the fire department is taking would be approach we don't believe that every situation will be like people can't stay in the housing but maybe they'll be able to make the housing bring it up to standards and codes to go in that we wanted to implement a citywide response for the participating departments to address the safety issues and minimize the displacement we want to keep people alive but not put them on the street an important aspect of this and see how the board can be advised on the expansion of the fire victims assistance fund and good samaritan fund in the section 327 plus the rest i submit. >> thank you commissioner mccray . >> supervisor sheehy. >> supervisor sheehy. >> that one is persona long time survivor ken was a member of the hiv planning council and briefly held membership on the hiv planning

yee. >> thank you madam clerk today, i want to introduce a resolution urging california state law makers to authorize the teacher recruitment and retention act of 2017 colleagues as you may know we're basically having a crisis in the classroom throughout california and in also in san francisco meaning that we can't find enough teachers to be in the classroom we know that note having a permanent teacher in the classmate has a effect whether golden gate park elementary school or other schools throughout san francisco and it is not seems like not going to get better this cumber there is one and 50 thousand students in san francisco, california being taught by temporary teachers and what we're finding in terms of the number of individuals that are going after the credentials it is basically only at 70 percent of what we need in california so what this legislation does is basically two-fold there are two main things that helps teachers there are the new teachers their continued their education and provide tax incentives for them to pay for your addition so this is the first 5 years of a teacher's leave in the classroom and the other thing that does that it is giving incentives for those that quality teachers that are veterans, for 10 years allowing teachers that teach in the k through 12 system to be tax exempt of their california state income tax salesforce them 4 to 5 thousand a year didn't sounded like a lot but for those in the teaching fields struggling to pay for their housing and everything else that 5 or 4 thousand make a kind of in whether an individual decides to stay in teaching or not we talked about this earlier about teachers and so forth this is one thing we can get hidden to make sure we support our teachers the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor yee supervisor president breed thank you mc colleagues one very important item i'm requesting a hearing on our city's office of economic workforce development development programs and along with supervisor cohen to look at the glazing employment within the african-american i find it unconscionable the 3 percent african-american employment rate citywide is 17 percent and in some areas in the western edition where i grew up and born and raised and been consistently working to help change and push funding and support and resources to that community sadly it is at a horrible 64 percent let that sink in for a second 64 percent unemployment amongst african-american communities where i was born and raised a place that has a large population of affordable housing units this is a crisis we have to treat it as such the organisms e office of economic workforce development spend $21 million a year for office of economic workforce development programs citywide whatever they're doing to serve the african-american population is clearly not working i want to know exactly in this hearing what is preventing those who need employment from obtaining employment the most i can't walk through any district and go to the dry cleaners without a few people not one person but always a few people asking me for employment opportunities yes, an amazing success in our place that i consistently send people to that work with individuals to help them develop their resumes they've held working groups and go above and beyond to try to support members of the our population and i'm consistently doing my own outreach constantly talking with someone trying to lead them on the right path and posting job opportunities on social media i'm proud of people we helped to get job opportunities at muni because of the work of supervisor kim and supervisor cohen and banning the box a lot of the folks he grew up are able to for muni with a good paying job with benefits we've held hospitality employment's providing the resources with the stemming projects for the will young adults and apprenticeship programs fund by the city for incredible opportunities my office is consistently doing all we can to work with our community and answer the call when they reach out so for those opportunities we know exist all over the city but what articulated outreach who level of support is being done by the department that has the responsibility to do this work and why isn't it working? in 2016 oewd served 6 thousand plus people of that number yes 38 percent or 25 were african-americans which sounds good that is great and sounds good but how many of them were actually placed in jobs and not just any job how many of them are working at the locations their placed in and the w in particular roughly three hundred african-american with or served and only a factor were actually placed in jobs even though for those places in jobs many were not able to keep them this issue goes beyond job placement flubs and barriers in job readiness and create a pipeline getting people ready to quality for the jobs but more importantly what are we missing here what are we not doing in the city from preventing this number from change we must likewise not focus on practicum placement of numbers how to make sure they keep those job opportunities i have a personal story a young man would i've known since born had trouble holding on to a job and make that my personal mission to xhavnl talking about showing up on time and what he is doing wrong and challenges i have to tell you over the years that is a lot of work he's kept a job for 6 years as a result not just have me but me and a number of people that consistently work with him and talk with him and make themselves available he got his first job and 23 and kept the job because of individuals to make sure they we're there to listen to him and help him maintaining the employment opportunities it is a lot of work especially, when we talk about giving people a second chance and thaw how we want to change lives we can't give someone a job after 23 years and expect them to code we have to do more and understand better the policy and circumstances that have consistently put african-americans at a disadvantage in the workplace notary republic not a question for the city of alabama or pilts we're failing right here in liveable san francisco san francisco has the largest disparity against black and white and institute revealed san francisco has the second lovely of employed san franciscans followed by troirt michigan that is shameful it is shameful what the city is doing to come battle african-american at the confirmation moebltsd is clearly not working we have to find why not our here we go how we serve the last african-americans in san francisco this can't be the end of the story and time we hold the city and the department responsible the mayor and every member of this board the able to fix this problem the rest i submit >> thank you, madam president and supervisor cohen. >> thank you. i submit. >> supervisor farrell. >> thank you, madam clerk i have two items today first of all, in memoriam i'd like to enter into the memory charles that passed away last week charles moved to san francisco in 1971 and attended the camp mather and a graduate of you cannot recall university and the first fourth generation of lynch before becoming the head of a system company and later established the infiniti mirror maids to do business in pier 39 this is something i remember growing up as an adult served as a trustee in a number of schools a board member or a ballet member and will be socializing pleased i've gotten to know his family a tragic loss survived by his wife and two children and the second item legislation that has been working on with finally for a number of years we continue to work on intersect assess and digital for forgot for business is a major barrier i believe that is criminal we have over one thousand san franciscans that lack internet assess at home a minimum of 14 percent of school children their asked to take tests on line but it leaves them fourth and further behind one of the biggest digital divides it is difficult for small serve provider to enter the market we have great small intersect serves they deliver services for the residents by denied because of costs and other prohibitions thank you for pga the ordinance like in december one the biggest intersect services to lay infrastructure cost as much as $6.8 million to install ground facilities i'm hoping to knock down that for intersect providers i'm arthur's the public works to give excavation on the sidewalk portion of public right-of-way using micro trenching this ordinance creates a permitting opportunity for internet and other communication providers citywide to the public right-of-way micro is a type of construction much more shallow and allows us to lay infrastructure and less intrusive and damaging to the sidewalks for many isp that policy will significantly reduce the cost necessary to lay new infrastructure and deliver for the residents we work closely with the department of public works to have mechanisms into the length how dope the trench will be allowed and other mandates to have the hive quality in the public right-of-way there are certain restrictions where the internet will be allowed to lay their structure and not hit the nail on the head others structures all providers taking advantage must restore the sidewalk with the specification and if we're jaws of life address and close the digital divide we need this this place to provide opportunities for xeefks at lower prices we need this policy in place i want to thank in particular mohammed nuru and jerry for their work on a longer period of time our internet provider have about this pushing and jeff and the rest i submit. >> thank you supervisor farrell commissioner murphy i submit thank you

jobs we are taken over understanding that education is fulsome in supporting the citizens in the u.s. i said last year and say it again, we as policymakers that as policymakers that is our responsibility to examine and reexamine the tools and resources we consider fundamental to giving our citizens a fixing chance to be productive members of society and work to grow our middle-class and - autumntion will provide benefits to the society convenience and lowering costs of products will also aggregate the trend we're seeing in san francisco a shrinking mrichlt and impoverished and low income community awhile seeing the growing wealth anything the few, in fact, san francisco has the faster income divide from the presentation earlier we're seeing huge lose in middle-income families in the city reducing that will generate trillions of dollars for the companies driving this autumntion we must direct those profit and retrain and reemploy human beings that are being replaced by the machines and need to invest in human capital in a way for broad prosperity this means that companies will continue to pay payroll tax on the machines o taxes will fill the gap by the human office of economic workforce development and fund the schools and road and health programs and other services that's why i'm introducing this in form and ongoing tax on every think outside the box that replaces a human that will be benchmarked against the jobs being replaced that also redirected in job training and investments in new industries i'll be working to convene a group to explore this to help a address the autumntion that is coming proposed propensities is a is it uncan i believe and that the to the replaces the industrial workers but point to the massive prosperity that followed with the industries and occupation that is also true critical to take into consideration the migration to convene to cheaper products but not efficient or initiative to graet create broad swaths in american that is important we adequately rethink the way we are preparing our citizens owe virtually every industry we have a number of hard questions to discuss and resolve we need to look at office of economic workforce development opportunities for those industries hardest hit by autumntion and what we are beginning to see the impacts but certainly see broader impacts in the coming years and want

general public comment but it is going to address some of the problems that you run into such as the low employment of blacks in the city because it is a certain style of dealing with things that i think makes problems for the equalities that you asked at the same time asking for a prestige and assuming that with regard to state law or federal law and for about fairness when i demonstrate the fairness maybe the people that are having problems by race wouldn't have that set of problems because you demonstrate the prestige situation. >> ms. cooperative i'll resume your time keep our comments

district receives the federal grant that was withheld to the secrecy of the voters he disclosed and the district received more than the bond measure from the federal grant because the school district voted to the bond issue down and kept the money from the federal for integrating the school district i see this and it can be done in san francisco but you're doing it by making the person you pick out a person and use that person to get special - >> thank you mrs.lcroft mbes unfortunately, we can't discuss this when it is in committee but comment on anything outside of that as well as the items

poison protester were demanding the draekz for the pursuing union law president graergz established under the approving the constitution and peru had prior content by the indigenous projects involving their land the protesters it is a blatant form of racism our state department go looked at the blockades for the impression the community had broad support with repercussion for the state privileges a unreport said the activities many indigenous people have suffered and environmental impacts outburst receiving benefits our governments roll in peru giving the investors to protect the bottom line without a rats ass about human rights for the suffering they allow others to impose does that sound familiar obviously you can draw parallels i sometimes wonder what would have happened in the did not
