and i especially would like to say thank you to assembly men tom ammiano. thank you so much for being here today. it's an honor to see you. i'm very excited and extremely optimistic about all of the wonderful things that c.y.c. is going to be -- programs they're going to be putting forward along the third street quarter as well as bay view. i have one request, i hope we will be able to get language classes here, just basic classes. i see some of my community leaders in here, i say walton and vivian. wouldn't it be to see jackson on the mic saying ni hao ma. i think that would be wonderful for members in the community to be welcoming and this is the world -- the world is becoming smaller as we listen to the news and how technology connected us, and it's our humanism and it's our human compassion that connects us. and i'm looking forward to the culture exchange we will have, vivian. i will be looking for you to hold some dance classes here. i hope to see you next year -- doing the lion's dance next year. this is really the beginning of such a wonderful partne

was it going to be a tom ammiano, david campos, an arin peskin, a former supervisor? >> but then mayor newsom said that he may delay his wearing him that as a lieutenant governors for a week. then the border supervisors, the modern new board with let the mayor. >> the question is when i do that. i have no charter obligations to do that. my term does not expire for another year-plus. so i have to resign first before a new mayor can take that oath of office. i have a role to play, even though the board of supervisors is the official who. >> mayor newsom, infuriatingly, frankly, kept his cards close to the best until the last moment. people did not know if he was going to stay in office to allow the new board to vote, people did not know if he was going to go to sacramento early. >> the key to this whole process that the board of supervisors cannot appoint an interim mayor until the office is actually vacant. he did not want to be the necessarily to the sport of supervisors, which were his political adversaries for so many years. >> anything can happen at the board of su

i also want to thank then supervisor now assemblyperson tom ammiano for taking the lead and putting this into motion. as far as the acquisition question the supervisor avalos -- the acquisition question that supervisor avalos race, i think rather than waiting for los angeles county, what we're looking for, and speak for the community that is national, is that san francisco takes the lead on this. we have the opportunity to move forward, and we did not take that opportunity and went forward with sequoia, but as jody mentioned, the time is now because this question will come up -- this issue will come up very quickly. we do want to see the county move toward open source systems that have been previously demonstrated in 2008 by open voting consortium. that is a paper ballot printing system that issues mandatory paper ballots that are perfectly printed that avoid all voter intent issues. regarding the hardware, we can certainly work with los angeles county to put together a consortium and made it will purchase so that the hardware issue would be resolved as well as the software issue. we hav

the bill is sponsored by assembly member tom ammiano. key provisions include allowing counties to opt in or out up scom, depending on law enforcement and community concerns. also provides protection for victims of a crime and provides that count is that what to participate develop a plan available to the public explaining how they will address racial profiling concerns. given the problems caused any way in which scom undercuts realignment and our goal to decrease state prison population and use more effective rehabilitation and diversion alternative programs, i urge the board of supervisors to adopt the resolution in support of the trust act. i know that this board last spring adopted a resolution recommending that we opt out of the program, and i think what would be helpful is for this board to time in again and support the trust act. the los angeles city council in its recent history has passed a resolution criticizing secure communities and asking for many of the reforms included in the trust act. the oakland city council has done the

i never thought that a candidate would be someone that i would support, but when tom and ammiano ran for mayor against willie brown, somehow, i got inspired. i thought, it someone that has integrity and honesty, that comes from the community, could run for mayor, maybe it is we something that can represent the community. i wanted to look at it from a candid perspective. >> when you did run for the border supervisors, what did you learn from that experience, from the campaign? >> from the campaign? so much. you knock on a lot of doors, talk to a lot of people. some of the things were interesting, how connected a lot of people were to their schools, communities. people were involved in their communities in some many ways. we have neighborhood organizations. there are so many people actively involved in the communities, neighborhoods, our organizations, child care facilities, relationships with seniors, at the park. that was something exciting to see. there were multiple ways for people to be involved as residents and members of the city. i was stunned by just how many artists were in d

then when tom ammiano ran against willie brown, i got inspired. i thought, someone with integrity and honesty, if they can run for mayor, maybe i can be somebody who represents what is true about our people. that is what inspired me to run and be a candidate. one thing this year that i really tackling, and i expect to for a long time, looking at me and how it operates in my district. san francisco, we talk about it being a transit first city, but it does not mean a lot if transit is not very well thought out in places away from downtown. my district is where we need to create better options. all the way down to randall street, there is no accessible boarding areas for the church. there is a woman that lives in a wheelchair on santa rosa. she has to go across to glen park to get out transit. >> those new stations, those are the ones that we are going to have to depend on. >> along balboa park station, near geneva, i have been pushing hard to get ramps for pedestrians. right now, it is dangerous to cross the street. i want to insure the department o
