housing in the city. but what has happened today, in this meeting, has been a travesty to our democratic process. as one of the fellow board members said, a piece of vital information was simply plopped onto the floor today without prior notice about a study that the bay area air quality management district did. that is just not conducive to the democratic process. that is all i have to say. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: i'm happy to meet with you in the hallway. next speaker, please. >> good afternoon. my name is rory and i have been a resident of bayview hunter's .457 years. i use the park a lot. like every week we have a get together and we do things with the kids down there. i would hate to see it go. i would like to see it improve and beautify. and make it work. because we have been through a lot. i live right at 127 west point for many years. so i just want to see it work. thank you. >> supervisor cohen: thank you for your comments. next speaker, please. >> good evening, supervisors. my name is mi

the city. but their role would be basically to maintain ownership of the land underneath the affordable housing developments. we would execute a language-term lease very similar to the mohcd and the o.c.i. structure. so the housing authority would maintain ownership of that land, execute a long-term lease with us so that we could build new affordable housing on that land. in regards to the market rate sites, we would be assisting the housing authority in selling those market rate sites to interested developers for development of market-rate housing, and so they would no longer own those sites. and they would also -- prior to that would also be executing a long -- or excuse me, short-term ground lease with us so that we would be able to construct the new streets and utilities on a certain area of land. and then once the streets and utilities are constructed in a given phase and accepted by the city, then, the housing authority would convey that new right-of-way to the city. >> supervisor safai:

so this, we're asking to the city, we trying to sue the city, class action city, and the city, they started asking for a couple questions, then, the drivers, most talk, is t-- [inaudible] >> in this case, the one right now, they come to the airport to give us our priority, which is we pay for the loan. the other people -- i'm sorry to pull them out in the airport, is not fair by pushing by sfmta. they don't have rules, they don't know what they doing. but to pushing those people out is not right, is not to -- demanding to holding even the buyer, but we are to earn the money to paying the bank. at least we asking to pass this -- the airport priority. thank you. >> your next speaker. >> hello. my name is david smith. i am a medallion purchaser. i paid 250,000 for my medallion, and of course, we would appreciate that the m.t.a. or the city buy back our medallions, but they obviously don't want to buy them back, so we're in the unfortunate predicament where we have to support these reforms. my father is a prop k medallion holder, so it does affect me, too. it's not like i'm coming at it as clea

end they decided to put the temple here close to the city center. it's in one of the city's most desirable districts. and that draws people here. another attraction is the park came under it rio in what was once the neglected western part of the city. today it's in a way says for locals on the banks of the month or not is river. which of mother lynn yes many much elaine hughes don't even know that the city has a river between two thousand and six and two thousand and eleven this district changed a lot on the river became a mall prominent part of the cityscape and then modern spectacular architecture popped up alongside it and i just picked up with. many buildings were converted like this former slaughter house which has been turned into a cultural center. at the moment the exhibits on display focus on the topics of movement. the north east of the spanish capital is more reminiscent of new york this is where you'll find the highest skyscrapers in spain the quantrill top a or four towers was designed by a team that included star architect norman foste

on the other hand the loneliness the city can make you sick and. there's a global trend towards urbanization megacities are growing on every continent according to a united nations study two out of three people now live in urban environments. with so many people crowded together stress is inevitable in large cities people compete for territory and for influence it's a constant close contact with countless individuals the tempo of city life please people tense and stressed. and then there's the noise it all has consequences. depression and anxiety related illnesses are far more common in urban centers that rural areas so enjoy city life at your own risk. it's very interesting let's dig a little bit deeper into the topic does a city make a sick well it's an ambivalent situation cities are good for us on the one hand but city stress can also be harmful for health so let me first introduce you to our viewers you're a professor dr not star athlete and your psychiatrist you're researching a psychiatrist and and your research topic is about the stress whi

current views of the bay and the city. the value of the city's land comprising the public housing will be severely impacted. why is the city allowing the land to be devalued by the developer? why isn't the developer being required to pay the city and the bnya. the bnya has these rights and uses them for business. the developer because compensate both for the usurpation of these rights. finally, i would like to finish by requesting who is the investor -- the name of the investor in this project? the individuals behind these india basin development l.l.c., and build, inc, please give us transparency. thank you. >> president cohen: thank you. next speaker. >> a while ago, i heard about, like, you know, growing businesses around the neighborhood. hey, probably forget us. we've been there for about a good ten years. we have our own building. we started with five individuals, and we're about 90 of them. my question to you, if you're going to start a construction out there, what happens to my business and the 90 employees if you

the cupertino city council approved the project two weeks ago. the developer's plan is to build a town center including office space and hundreds of housing units. some of those designated for low income families. >> housing for the disadvantaged. it is going to be an inclusive community. >> looking ahead boaters could approve a referendum on the plan this november. if it happens an alternative plan exists under sb35 which forces cities to build affordable housing. >>> survivors of clergy sex abuse said the diocese of oakland is not living up a promise to remove offenders. protesters spoke to reporters today outside of the diocese offices. they include a man who won a courtwright after being abused in the 1960s. he said the same priest from that case is working at a catholic school in berkeley. >> if it is true that the bishops of oakland is that clueless than he should not be the bishop because if he does not know this predator was at a school facility how many does he not know about. it is very alarming. it is either he is totally clueless or h

the city. >> supervisor tang: and there will be some market rate units here, as well. >> right. >> supervisor tang: and when will that get phased in? >> we actually -- probably see it a little bit on the diagram on the left there to the right of the red area. there is going to be a market rate or moderate -- >> supervisor tang: ask sfgovtv -- >> if you look on the right side, that's half of our first development phase. so the right of it, you'll see a small rectangle. that's a new site that's going to be created through the segment of blythedale, and that will be a moderate income site that will have frontage on hahn street, and we think that'll support about eight units. >> supervisor tang: only eight? >> yeah, because this is a small infill site. >> supervisor tang: oh, is it's that -- oh, it's very tiny. >> yeah. that's our very first market rate site. >> supervisor tang: so when you say 60% affordable, you mean, throughout the entire project. where is the 40% that will be unrestricted? >> i

the second establishes the city will incur indebtedness. these are first official actions to establish the special tax district. when approved they will be an additional board hearing which is to be scheduled. since the plan is such a complex interry lated set of legislation this is the table of contents. it includes general amendments and planning code and admin code and zoning amendments and program document that describes the action to realize the plan. i want to highlight that today that the implementation document including the public benefits program which is under review. i have submitted a list that describes that as part of the record today for your reference. the plan also including special tax district which including in addition to the roi before you today amendments to the city's special tax financing law. and the inclusion of housing sustainabilities district to create a review process under the california assembly bill 8073. the benefits program is one of the greatest strengths. we are creating such a great deal of capacity f

the city's efforts to make walking safer and the street and city safer for walking as a whole and we appreciate all the staff that's been involved so far. we also want to express walk san francis san francisco's effort and there's key developments that serve pedestrians. as paul mentioned, a few years ago a project fell through the trapped and approved for change and planning staff couldn't and didn't require the developer to ensure there was actually a safe way for building tenants to cross the highway onramp at bryant and sterling. the only reason it got installed was because of the tenacity of a single advocate. we know we can't rely on community advocate to make sure every development meets safety requirements. that's why we're pleased with the proposed amendment. we know it will ensure some projects don't fall through the cracks. we support the strong 131.38 threshold. we pose the staff requested threshold in square foot age and regarding the curb cut amendments we know they're desperately need to reduce cars and people walking and biking while we're not experts on this part of

these are our kids, the future of our city. what tipping point has learned over the course of 13 years is that when you support the right solutions, the right leaders, the right partnerships, great out comes with possible. we've seen that with larkin street. we've been partnering with larkin for seven years now, and they know how to get results. over 80% of their clients have stable housing upon leaving their program. and we know that they can't do it alone, as the mayor just said. supporting the young people living on our streets required an all-hands-on-deck solution. this collaboration between the city, larkin street and private philanthropy is the only way we're going to see the change we all want for our community. we must all take responsibility and hold each other accountable. we've cut homelessness for transition aged youth by 2023. but even with the right metrics, partners, and leaders, you need the right stroategy. that's what i love about rising up. it also builds in a housing subsidy, but build in for education and

i think that, given the resources the city has, city resources and a closer relationship between the housing authority and the city is what is needed to increase the capacity in that area and to provide the necessary oversight for those operations. >> this is going back to the oversight issue. so the website, because i looked on the website, it does not have any record of a meeting for the last year and a half. what you are saying that the website has not been updated? >> i go to the website regularly it does have, actually it does have every commission meeting. that has all the reports that are presented to the commission. the commission gets -- has standing committees for very detailed reporting and there are full commission meetings regularly. they are all on the website. it might be a little challenging to move her but it has commission -- it has commission as one of the headings on the website. there has been strong oversight by the commission, but again, if the data is incorrect, that can distort what is going on. so i maybe want to briefly -- i briefly mentions the fact that t

be on business in the city. we have already seen, for example, that some conventions are pulling out of theity fig citing the homelessness crisis as the reason. >> does the city even have a good handle on how the money at it is currently spending is being spent? because san francisco's homeles population has pretty much stayed the same despite hundreds of llions of dollars poured into it. it has hovered around 7,000 or so every year. >> through theng budge process the city has allocated funding to the recently formed department of homelessness in support of housing oerr the past s years so the city has a good sense of how much it is spending. i believhe mayor is referring to the newly installed system whichs a database that essentially tracks how each inividual is being funneled through the system of services and how much money is being spent on each in tvidual. on system is up and running the city can have a much etter sense on h much is being spent on what kind of services and forhat demographic. >> we can agr

the city for over ten years. we would like to replicate the success of the model that we have for city build into this preapprenticeship training. so we would like to focus on the key six components of the city grow training program which will be focused on outreach and to decode meant which would help our community-based organizations to conduct the recruitment strategy to help disadvantaged people to gain entry into the program and as it is outlined in the cannabis section and the police code. and secondly the community-based organizations will be conducting intake and assessment strategies which will help us to assess individuals and get them entry into the program. we will be recruiting candidates in the job readiness program which will be an intensive 1-2 week training program which will focus on the major components of the cannabis industry overview. clear explanations and career pathways, life skills caps off scale developed in job readiness and job skills. later on we'll be conducting a process in combina

the city of san francisco. we've hosted everything from the soma filipino night market to various nonprofits at the venue, and i'm just here to lend my support for the $20 million restoration fee. thanks. >> supervisor kim has a question. >> supervisor kim: i'm actually so glad you're here. >> hi, supervisor kim. >> supervisor kim: hi. i'd like to know if you've worked things out into a current agreement in the future with so soma filipinas. my understanding is that you have not reached an agreement so that they can continue events at the old mint. >> i have not been involved in these negotiations. >> supervisor kim: i would love that resolved because if we fund an important resource in this neighborhood, it has to be a benefit to the neighborhood. >> absolutely. >> supervisor kim: thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, supervisors. mike pueller on behalf of san francisco heritage. her tanl heritage is a long time proponent of the mint and cowd. this is guided by the concept to create a community cultural co

having the city buy back the medallion. so we can get more help to go to the -- and we actually need the city to actually try some way to enforce or to limit the Über, lyft, so we can survive. thank you. [applause] good afternoon. i've been a taxi driver for the last 30 years. and i'm on the board of taxi union. i think all the problem we have is Über and lyft. if you limit them, or at least limit them from sf where they can't pick up, only drop off, that will help. and also by banning k medallions, it's totally unfair, because k people have been working for the last 30 years, a long time you know. and we've been following all the laws, all the rules. so it's not fair to steal from us and give it to the purchased medallions. i really am very sympathetic with them that they got this bad deal, but it's all mta's fault. they sold medallions, made millions of dollars and i think they should buy all the meions back and -- medallions back and picking them up at the airport, it's like you had a heart attack and they put a little

both in the community but also within the city and the county because the tent city i think and then grew very rapidly one week or spartans next week it was you know forty towns and writes we it's kind of polyphony that but my staff has been down here doing outreach and trying to connect people to health care services and a number of things for quite a while and something we've been funded to do through the state of minnesota for over the last six or seven months and while many news reports falsely claim that the majority of the camp are people with opioid addictions that had been evicted from public housing our investigation found that only about twenty five percent of the residents are there or due to opioid addictions or drug arrests frank pair of national information coordinator for the american indian movement explains currently what's going on right here and all with. the recall of a wall of forgotten need of just got over one hundred sixty five close to two hundred tents up and down there's three or four block area if we're not you're a couple of months bringing attention to h

homeless in the city. and thank you. >> thank you. i see one more public comment. if there is anybody else, you need to line up now or this will be our last public comment. >> hi, how you doing. >> use the microphone, sir. >> i'm a taxi cab driver. i just want to speak -- >> sir, what is your name? >> gregory. >> thank you. >> born and raised in san francisco, cab driver. anyway, i want to speak on the airport thing really. you know, the app, i don't think it would work because a lot of people when you get off the plane, you're phone is not working and not only that, but a lot of people, they're not fond of uber and lyft anyway. a lot of times there is whole line of people waiting for us. and just to allow a certain amount of cabs, they're not going to wait for us. they're going to go somewhere else and they're waiting for us. they really do need us. a lot of times the airport is lined up waiting for us. that's about it. besides everything else. you know, that's what i are really wanted to say. they need u

the city and picking up litter and making our city, loving our city. and importantly when delegates got off the plane they were welcomed to s.f.o. with messaging and welcomed and there were light poles across the city. but we as a department wanted to take more of a personal touch. so we spent time in advance of the summit creating partnerships with the hotels. and these are really important because we wanted to help them to share their sustainability and successes and highlights with these delegates when they came to each hotel. but beyond that we wanted to create partnerships because we wanted to do things that we were really proud of, like remove single-use water bottles from the rooms of delegates. and for the hotels that had the majority of delegates attending them we removed them and replaced them with reusable water bottles that are all in front of you. not just a welcome though, but a welcomer and a celebration and a recognition and appreciation. but this wasn't just about the delegates. this wasn't just about the summit. this was about bringin

we hope that this race in any courage for me now only to the city of chicago but all cities across the mirror. the verdict put the city police on notice that the residents or chicago will no longer simply accept police shootings of young black men john hendren al jazeera chicago the president of interpol has been reported missing after traveling to his home country china no one's been able to get in touch with man one way since late last month the french police and investigators in the disappearance of french official says that he arrived in china from france but went missing soon after adrian brown reports from beijing. well so far china's government has said absolutely nothing about the disappearance of monk home way the first chinese citizen to become head of interpol state controlled media is so far not reporting this story either and any mention of his name on social media is being deleted that is i think a reflection of just how sensitive this cases but in hong kong the south china morning post newspaper which has connections to the chinese government has been offering more infor

my view of the city's is the working and middle class the cities. who runs the pta who runs the soccer club. you have failed cities. all of the cities i mentioned. they're losing the middle and working class. i believe the imperative in the public support all come down to the support. to expose the real undercurrent of why they don't build housing and stop housing. and make them power in the neighborhood association. we have to dress that. that is beyond. i report regularly on issues around all of the cities that i write about. i'm very personally connected to all of the cities that we are trying to get for plexus plex's in minneapolis and more housing and of the various cities. you guys can make a difference here in austin. is austin going to be an elitist or exclusionary. it is a question of political well. we are can have questions from the audience. if you can just be sure to speak directly into the microphone i was born in san francisco. i want to defend austin a little bit. the problem in the bay area that you identify is absolutely correct. t

in the city. pretty tough for businesss to stay here because it is so expensive and there's so much competition. so for us who have been here all these years and still be popular and to be recognized by the city has been really a huge honor. >> we got a phone call from a woman who was 91 and she wanted to know if the mitchells still owned it and she was so happy that we were still involved, still the owners. she was our customer in 1953. and she still comes in. but she was just making sure that we were still around and it just makes us feel, you know, very proud that we're carrying on our father's legacy. and that we mean so much to so many people. ♪ >> it provides a perspective. and i think if you only looked at it in the here and now, you're missing the context. for me, legacy businesses, legacy bars and restaurants are really about setting the context for how we come to be where we are today. >> i just think it's part of san francisco. people like to see familiar stuff. at least i know i do.

or the city services auditor and working together. in terms of your most recent question and the questions you asked to john thomas about tracking, i can't recall how many of the four of you were here in the summer of 2016, but i know that you supported a change to the ad straf code in the summer of 2016 that did a few things. one, it permitted the use of a new type of contract, which is -- which is best value, which allows consideration in a more flexible way of safety records. and two, it established bay -- or it told us to go out and establish a database of pro forma tracking for all of our construction jobs, so we are working on that. and the whole point of that is to, one, do a better job of tracking information. in preparation for this hearing, you guys have asked a lot of questions, and to get those answers requires calling six different people and figuring out who those people were in the first place. there's not a one stop place for it all, so that's part of what we're working on. and the second is tracking issues that are se

the city of san francisco and other cities have told us, is that the current conservativeship laws in california, are not meeting the meets, particularly of people with severe drug addiction. people who are cycling in and out of the psyche of emergency room and they're backout on the streets unraveling more and more. we need to help get these people into housing, into services, get people stable and healthy and do everything we can to get their lives on track and that is what senate bill 1045 is about. this is not about mass institutionalization. this is about really focusing on relatively limited number of people who are dying on our streets and helping to get them stable and into housing. i want to thank my colleague, assemblyman chiu for supporting this bill. i want to thank the city of san francisco, particularly mayor breed and supervisor mandelman. they have just been champions for this bill. they actually came up to sacramento to testify in committee in favor of the bill. they're that committed to it. and i know that they will work hard to implement it. this is not the end of t

the city was killing the folks. specifically me. i live two blocks from the soma development, and i'm going to disclose that i do have cancer. it's very real to me right now. and so if i get a little emotional, i apologize. i also am partially pretty severely deaf, so if you speak to me and another person is speaking in the room or i'm speaking, i cannot hear. so please take that into consideration, and the deputies, i have made a criminal complaint against the assault that occurred here last tuesday when i made the public comment, and, you know, if you don't want me, just ask me to leave. do not assault me. we're speaking about death, just when i was about to disclose that i had cancer for the first time publicly, and only three of my close friends and my doctors understand this, and i cannot move from san francisco, because the type of cancer i have is rare and the best care is in the city limits. so you just can't get up and move because your cancer is being just -- i mean, it's like every meeting i'm coming to n

to all the supervisors in this city as well as all the residents in the city of san francisco, so i'll submit that. the other, i would like to end in memory of a constituent of my community, frankie lee kennedy. she passed away september 21, and she was a beautiful spirit, and she will be missed. she was a devoted mother, a loving wife, had four children. by trade, she was a cosmetologist, later worked for the unified school district and was present again at balboa, she was an active members of the rose olivet baptist church. she moved to san francisco in 1955 and was a long time member and active in my community. she leaves 13 nieces, six nephews, and a host of grand nieces and nephews, and one daughter, one son and law, and others. we'd like to end the meeting in her honor. the rest i submit. >>clerk: thank you, supervisor safai. supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thank you. today, colleagues i'm calling a hearing on the coordination of services for individuals with mental health and substance abuse issues. this hearing aims to i'd fee potential gaps in coordination between c

in the way the city calculated the impound fees. >> city lead areas agree the city is overcharging the residents, looking at slashing fees. the earliest it could happen is january. >> i was parked in someone's driver way. >> cheyenne has been desperate to get his car backed. he had to wait four days to pick it up. his driver's license is in his car. he had to get a copy from the dmv. there's fees. >> basically it will cost $1200 to get my car out because i parked in someone driver way. it's ridiculous. $1200 is my paycheck. >> on arc residents pay 640 overnight. that's citation, a fee higher than other cities. >> we believe there were errors in the way it was estimated and that the fee needs to be corrected as soon as possible. >> an audit revealed a portion of the fee may have been calculated incorrectly. >> that leaves half of the impounded are done by parking control officers. they are half the cost of a police officer per hour. there were over estimates in how long it took to process the paperwork. >> it was likely inadvertant. >> my heart goes out to the families. i don't know if

in the city. so from that, we developed recommendations and some of these are related to what we can do better on new buildings and there's some related to putting more pre and there are looking at tall buildings and recognizing current building codes just to protect life safety of a building. they don't address recovery. thinking that tall buildings, especially those that are residential, are housing increasing number of people on the city and offices. on tall buildings, who we think of upping the seismic design requirements to address the issues of recovery to reduce the risk of damage and down time of the buildings. we also have a number of issues that are related to what you can do before an earthquake to address the existing building stock. one of these is looking back at the types of buildings that these welded steel moment frames that were damaged in the north ridge earthquake, the earthquake occurred years before that here in san francisco and there's never been a systematic reassessment o

day in the city. often the most vulnerable on our streets who generally have unmet behavioral mental health needs and substance abuse challenges are one step away from a crisis situation and death. the civil grand jury calls attention to the death of mario woods in the summary section of the report to highlight this point. we must ask ourselves, is the status quo of our streets okay. why does a wealthy and progressive city such as ours allow such horrible conditions to fester right before our eyes? these questions in use of force concerns prompted the civil grand jury to research whether our city and county government had any tools in place to address these tragic concerns of the human condition and to call the city's leadership to account to step up and to show positive momentum to tackle these challenges. to give you a sense of this enormous challenge facing san francisco, on page 5 of our report, we note the call volume to the suicide prevention crisis hotline increased 43% from 2012 to 2017. this
