francisco. -- healthy san francisco. that ship has sale. for me, it is how we make rules that make sense and are fair and how they are applied. but clearly, the issues around health care are big issues. and by the way, it is not just this specific issue. we have spent a lot of time working on these issues. we put forward a health services master plan so the city could do a better job at looking at the entirety of our need not only as a city, but neighborhood by neighborhood. we are looking at some of the practices that hospitals are engaging in. that in turn is impacting health-care rates, which are a big reason why some of the businesses are facing some of the challenges they are facing. we need to continue to deal with this issue as a city. but from my perspective i have to represent the entirety of my district, all of district 9, and i have to make sure there is a level playing field so that all businesses are following the same rules and competing under the same guidelines. that is what a big part of this is about fo

san francisco. let me share with you text from the original legislation that talks about the original intent of that ordinance and i quote -- "all san francisco residents should have quality, affordable healthcare. currently approximately 82,000 adult san francisco residents are uninsured even though more than half of those individuals are employed. san francisco taxpayers bear the cost of paying for emergency room visits and other unnecessarily expensive healthcare for the uninsured. by establishing a health access program for uninsured san francisco residents with an emphasis on preventive care and by requiring businesses to make reasonable healthcare expenditures on behalf of their employees depending on the business' ability to pay, the burden on san francisco taxpayers for providing healthcare for the uninsured can be reduced," and i end the quote from the text of the original legislation. there are four reasons why we are here today. one, we are here for the same reason that healthy san franci

it is costly and difficult to do business in san francisco, to raise your children in san francisco. i would like a voice at the table to create policies that will minimize the stigma that san francisco is not a business- friendly city, minimize the stigma of that san francisco prioritizes the rights of dogs over children. we started walking down that path largely because of political ideology. it is less about politics. i want to have a positive impact on the city overall, specifically district 10, connecting it to the city. people have been left to defend for themselves. i am honored to have been elected to serve to be the next advocate for the next four years, hopefully the next eight years, to really protect, defense, and serve the residents of district 10. >> we will talk more about some of the issues facing district 10. before we do, i would like to know a little bit about what you learned campaigning for supervisor. talk to me a little about that experience. >> first, i learned that a lot of the conversations we have about our neighborhood and community happens in silos. we ha

of power here in san francisco. i am so happy the board of supervisors came together to select an outstanding choice along many outstanding candidates to lead us over the next several years. >> over the past several months when this issue has come up, it had been agonizing. the board has been put into a difficult situation. there are a lot of differences of opinion on how to run the city, how to mass make a decision, who should be in place, 11 people to agree on that is a challenging thing. i think we have done the best we can do in the process, considering the difference of opinions. >> the people of san francisco can now choose their mayor, the direction they want to go. that is why this decision was so appropriate. >> the other big shock is that the moderates seem to have won this round. people thought, progressives have themselves on the board. there is no reason that they will not get together and take a noted leader who is a progressive to be interim mayor, and then stayed there for another term. the great thi

san francisco. and i think this will fit nicely to that particular goal. president o'brien: commissioner o'conner? commissioner o'connor: , a couple of other comments. thank you for putting the legislation together and addressing an issue that should have been addressed a long time ago. first comment was, ticketing events, perhaps, one line to be drawn is that if people are selling advanced tickets, if it's like billed as a show, it doesn't qualify under this legislation. supervisor mirkarimi: right. commissioner o'connor: so that smaller spaces can gain cheaper access to putting on performances that aren't billed as shows, so to speak. second point was to address commissioner dooley's comment about the time. having experienced putting on shows, i think for the nature of this legislation, 11:00 -- like 10:00 is too early but 12:00 might be too late. 11:00 sounds about right, when a lot of people want to come and see a performance start around 10:00. like you'll have somebody go on before at 9:00 and

county of san francisco. on behalf of the city and county, on behalf of all of us, bill, we thank you for your ownership, everything you did this year. we thank you for your leadership, your stewardship, and we congratulate you with this key representing the world champion 2010 san francisco giants.

san francisco ballet, san francisco performances, san francisco jazz, odc dance, san francisco film society, san francisco symphony, and san francisco opera. we are also joined by members of the sentences for unified school district visualize performing arts office. we represent over 200 grantees. we ask that you please protect the proposed budget for the arts. everyone need to sacrifice, but the arts community has taken a disproportionately significant cut in the past. we ask to stop being unfair to the arts. we have done the best we can to cut our budgets and be creative in ways to generate revenue in this very difficult economic time. more cuts to our funding would result in cutbacks on staff and a reducing programming. please nknow, our 200 members, e benefit san francisco in many ways, including educational programming to tens of thousands of schoolchildren. almost every public school in the city receives programming with us. the programs are with children who need it the most. they tend to be the more low income, disadvantage, and emotionally-scarred youth. we have ways to reach them

in san francisco. they always step forward. after the election in november, where they said to the voters, if there is a problem, we will figure it out and we will not shy away from it. they came together. based upon the facts, they found a fair and equitable solution. and i think the message is, the employee -- coppell -- the public employees step forward and the right thing in the right way. that is what this measure represents. that is what we should be celebrating. these are real human beings that have to make real sacrifices. but we understand why. and believe me, nobody has a better interest in the financial health of the city and the programs and services it provides then the workers who provide them. so, thank you for the opportunity to do the right thing, and i hope that the message that is shared from this is that the workers in san francisco did do the right thing. thank you.

san francisco is more safe than before these projects were done. there are a lot of projects that happened in district 11. the first was a tank replacement project that started a number of years ago. it is fitting we are in district 11 because we're finishing the major work on our program in district 11. we're happy to be joined by supervisor john avalos. he has been supportive of all of our programs and was a leader on having local jobs for people who need them. the work is happening to provide those jobs. in fact, at the end of this week, we will have six kids out worth $18 million that will help the new local hire ordinance legislation. we are certain the pilots for how to expand local hire. supervisor avalos?

>> mayor for the city and county of san francisco. >> tonight, san francisco has a new interim mayor. >> a few minutes ago, city administrator now interim mayor ed lee, emerged happy but humble. >> in 2011, a temporary or interim mayor was selected by the board of supervisors, what is an interim mayor? why do we need one? is it the mayor's supposed to be elected by san francisco voters? how did this happen? let's rewind the story a little and look at the people and complicated process that led to this historic transition. the last time san francisco had an interim mayor was 30 years ago, when, in 1978, george mosconi, was assassinated by supervisor dan white. >> both to grow rather mosconi and harvey milk have been shot and killed. >> they needed a new mayor at the time. the board got together and appointed dianne feinstein. >> we did not have much to go on and looked at 1978. there were no hints as to who put it on the board, if any discussion occurred about a process. >> what triggered san francisco's search over 30 years later was gavin newsom's election to the office of lieutenant

neighborhood papers in san francisco. there have been so many as one of the great things about the city. what the plan to do going forward that has not been done? >> the way it is announced is it goes on the internet, it goes to our historical bid list which gets larger from year to year. i became aware that there is an association of san francisco newspapers, and they will be on the bid list next year. that is what we have done up until now and next year, we will be better. president chiu: these ad prices seem to be all over the map. do they reflect the different ad prices -- to reflect circulation sizes or is there a way for us to treat all of these community- based papers equally? >> i do not have handy and correlation of the bid price with circulation. i could put something like that together but i do not have it with me. president chiu: i don't know of that makes a difference to you, we have one paper that has at prices almost three times the size of others. i'm trying to think about the fairest way to sway distribut

i got to understand the innovative spirit in san francisco. at night, i volunteered as a neighborhood leader and as feature of an affordable housing organization. i learned so much about the challenges facing our neighborhoods and the special jewels that are the urban villages we live in. i ran for office because i wanted to serve the city and protect all that is so special about san francisco. >> what lessons did you learn after campaigning for supervisor? >> san franciscans are incredibly interested in their city government, local politics, and making sure that we remain the most amazing city in the world. i learned that san franciscans during campaign read everything they are sent in the mail. they love to meet the candidates and engage in conversations with them. i learned how important it is to build bridges between different communities, particularly communities of diversity that we have. i was incredibly honored to have been elected in november of 2008. >> where do you place yourself on the political spectrum? >> i consider myself someo

like i said, what do people do when they come to san francisco? they ride a cable car. >> california line starts in the financial district. people are coming down knobbhill. the cable car picks people up. takes them to work. >> there still is no other device to conquer these hills better than a cable car. nobody wanted to live up here because you had to climb up here. with the invention of the cable car, these hills became accessible. he watched horses be dragged to death. cable cars were invent in san francisco to solve the problem with it's unique, vertically challenged terrain. we are still using cars a century old >> the old cable car is the most unique thing, it's still going. it was a good design by then and is still now. if we don't do something now. it's going to be worse later. >> the cable cars are built the same as they were in the late 1800's. we use a modern machinery. we haven't changed a thing. it's just how we get there. >> it's a time consuming job. we go for the quality rather than the production. we take pride in our work and it

i want to make sure that san francisco has a working class population. i want to make sure we do not take for granted because we are seen as more cosmopolitan, that that excuses us from not tackling issues of poverty, which there are still substantial pockets of it in san francisco. just by what others may argue. that to me obligates our requirement to make sure this city, being in its reputation of being forward thinking and progressive, learn to -- learn to make sure that that translates into economics so that this isn't a city just for those who could afford it. >> what do you feel like are some of the biggest issues facing your district? >> well, when i came into office in january 2005, a number of areas of our district, as you outlined in your opening statement, really confronted different neighborhoods in different ways. district five is by far one of the most interesting drawn districts of the whole city. my western border goes almost into the sunset. my eastern border is goss street, my northern border is california street, our southern border is

i am a resident of san francisco and have two small children. to me, this felt like a more manageable project, and i feel like i know more. i have a better feel for san francisco policies than california's statewide policies. >> just to get a sense of your analysis, have you a good draft one of the state maps? any thoughts on how they have achieved communities of interest, legal standards? >> general observation about the process -- >> maybe that. instead of looking at the results, what do you think of their process so far? >> i think it has been reasonable. they have tried to follow the guidelines that have been established for them. i think the way the process is set up, which was to denied any access to political information and to relegate to happenstance, you might say, the objectives of partisan fairness and competitiveness. that is not how i would have designed the process, but that is the process that they were given. and i think they have tried to follow the criteria set out for the. from what i can see, they have done a serviceable job
