>> yeah, very interesting. >> you know, i think that on that point, part of this is about over all projections and predicting growth, and where it will happen, but part of it is going right down into the sort of the trenches with the school district about their particular sites that they own and which ones are best. >> right. >> to think about reusing and rebuilding and which ones will be disposed of for house and other purposes. >> thank you, so much. >> and next, we do have okeefe to present on behalf of the school district. >> do you need assistance? >> we might. >> so if we could, ask the clerk's office to come back and assist us. thank you, mr. c. >> good afternoon, committee members, thank you very much for the opportunity to discuss and chair information with you this afternoon. and just to give you an over, and i am hoping that the technology works and i apologize, and for the delay. hopefully you have all received a copy of the presentation. and that i am about to review? and it is unclear, how to move from page to page on the presentation, so i need some assistance with that. thank you. >> i think that we might have figured it out. >> and in today's presentation, here are the questions that we are going to explore, and how do we develop the enrollment forecast and how frequently do they refresh the forecast and what do the last forecast rhees vaoel and when and how will sfusd refresh the forecast moving forward and what are some of the long term challenges that questions that the district is exploring and we will start by sharing a little bit of the process that the district use and we have engaged the dem graphic and we researched for a number of years for the forecast for the district and develop them in 2002, 2010, and 2013, and what we found is that each time, they have developed enrollment forecast, the actual enrollments have ended up being exactly the same and so we have had a very high degree of confidence in the approach that they take and what they do is they use data from a variety of sources, and so, they get data from the san francisco planning department and the housing authority and the office of community and ininvestment and these are the what they worked with and got the data from and at the treasure island, the u.s. census data and what they do and the method that they do is look at birth friends, in san francisco, and the housing growth and a key element of that, is work around, looking at the student yields and so i thought that this afternoon i will go a little bit deep on the methods that they used for the students yield because i think that is key to the discussion and how we are using that information for the forecast. and so, the number of births has increased, and we are talking about births and we are talking about residents of san francisco and it increased during the starting this decade, and last decade, resulting in an increasing enrollments in k12 that started increasing from the low point in 2008 and most of the enrollment changes from since 2008 canen explained by changes in birth numbers, the birth numbers have been an excellent predicter of subsequent enrollments and so specifically kindergarten enrollments have equaled to half of the number of births to san francisco, residents and, five years earlier. and falling birth numbers resulted in enrollment declines and beginning in the 2000s and to the middle of the decade and there was a slight decline and then starting in the elementary enrollment declined first followed by a decline in the middle and finally in high school enrollment but in 2005, the numbers of birth in san francisco rose causing an increase in elementary and recently a growth in middle school and high school enrollments are expected to begin rising. they measured the yields in the completed project and they are listed here on the slide and so treasure island, and mission bay and the hill and soma and large condo buildings. and it turns out that yields very widely, and depending on the type of housing, and what they did, and the next slide when which i will bring up now shows for one particular area what they did. and so for each of the housing in the area. and they looked at the type of units that were in it and the number of units that were in it and the numbers that were affordable and then they took an average of sfusd and students enrolled, over a period of 7 years. and they used that to create a yield for a type of housing and so the next slide, actually shows what that is. these are the come parable yields that were used in the forecast, and that, are in our most recent forecast and now, that throughout the document and hopefully you have received the full report as well. they cautioned constantly that if the market rate units generate more students than the forecasts are too low. and they suggested that it is really important to monitor new developments to see if the assumptions are correct and so as the housing becomes completed to continue to do that kind of analysis to see what the student yields might be. the next slide shows, new housing and enrollment forecast and so with the data that they had at the time from the planning department, and from the other departments that they worked with to get data, these were some of what they forecast. and that, with the more than 77,000 new housing units would yield more than 8,000 k, 12, public school students, and once completed and that the students would enter gradually to the 30 year period and they looked out as far as 2040 and they said that it was important to monitor the progress and so the forecast could be adjusted. and that the hope sf, the hunter's view and the data would be very important to analyze from that. because it will help us to calibrate our student yields and the future mixed inside housing. and the bottom line is, that the enrollment forecast, and they did anticipate and they suggested that while the numbers may vary and i will move to the next slide, the trend they imagined being the same and in other words, that the cohorts that housing and increased birth rates will result in over a period of time, an increase in enrollment for sfusd and again, just to kind of reiterate what was kind of forshadowed in the earlier discussion and presentation, that the forecasts are highly sensitive to the student yields and that is something that we need to monitor and the timing and when they develop these enrollment projections the timing about housing development was uncertain and so moving forward and working with the planning department and others, it will be very helpful to have the most current data to refresh the enrollment forecast and this visual on the next slide just kind of shows, where some of the major housing developments and are located and how that will have an impact on the over all picture. and it is directly connected to something that has been a long standing observation, for the san francisco unified school district, and that is that there is a mismatch between our, where our students live and where our schools are located in 2009, they did an extensive analysis that illustrated and just mismatched and then, each year, and the annual report, we update this particular map, that shows based on the number of applicants, in each attendance area, how that compared to the number of seats that are available in our existing elementary schools. and the patterns that you see here are very consistent with the patterns that were revealed in the analysis done in 2009. and that is to say that there is high concentrations of students living in the south east and part of our city. and that there is less elementary space in those schools than there are children who are living near it and so the red dot indicates that there is, and there are a greater number of residents living in that area, than there are kindergarten seats available. and the larger the red, the greater the mismatch between those two. and the yellow circles indicate that there are more seats in that attendance area, than there are children who applied to go to kindergarten, not necessarily to that school. they could have applied anywhere in the city and it is saying take the universe of children who applied to kindergarten and see where they live not the choices but where they live and compare it to the number of seats that we have in the district and so this finding is consistent each year that there is a mismatch between where our students live and where our schools are located. so, some of the key questions we are exploring and beginning to explore in more depth are do the enrollment forecasts indicate a need to build new schools? and if they do, when and where? what would the time frame be? when do we expect these increases to materialize in our schools. how might we address the mismatch between where our students live and where the schools are located? and indeed, where the additional growth is anticipated and how that is going to exaserbate the mismatch and what changes might need, and might be needed to support the relationship between the built environment and the teaching and learning for the 21st century and there is a lot of discussion around that happening and particularly with regard to the high schools and our vision, 2025 and the graduate student profile and those questions are explored by various teams in the district. in terms of next steps, we are really excited about the collaboration with the city and while we have used the data in the past to develop the enrollment projections and we appreciated that and we look forward to a deeper engagement between the sfusd and city agencies as we work to reresearch our enrollment forecast. we are also hoping to reengage our demographer to base them on the latest housing and enrollment data, and a couple of things that the committee might be interested in knowing, is that we are partnering with uc berkeley, and they have a plus fellowship, program that stands for planning and learning united for systems change and there are three different areas that we are going to be exploring with us this year, through the plus fellowship, one is the impact of transand local housing development and change and specifically the plus will look at, and we will look to see how other districts and cities, across the nation are addressing this issue and approaching some of the key questions that we are exploring and there is also, some fellow that is going to be working on the student transportation planning for equity, health and sustainability and this is all modes of transportation and there are a couple of fellows that will be working with the hope sf, community and redevelopment and education and they are going to be working with the city and also with sfusd on that. and so this is just hopefully and it provides the information and the committee was interested in reviewing and i am happy to answer any questions that you might have. >> thank you. miss okeef, this is actually super interesting. and when i looked through some of the data a couple of weeks ago, that you sent to our office, i was fascinated by the fact that there is a very predictable correlation between the number of births and then sfusd attendance and it is almost hard to believe that it has been 50 percent of all births on any given year, than later attend kindergarten, and it is great to see that that has grown to 53 percent and clearly the remaining 50 percent that remains some of them have moved out of the city and some of them have chose to go to private school and there is a steady prediction and i had a couple of questions and maybe they are not so much questions, but, questions to be answered today, but questions to be answered through these meetings between sfusd and planning and by the way i am very happy that both commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and fewer are pushing this forward because this is the type of plan thating we want to happen today so that there is not a day that we have hit the capacity on kindergarten enrollment and we are looking around on where to place all of these kindergarteners that do want to go to public school here in san francisco. a couple of things that i have noticed, one is that, you know, largely where the growth is occurring today, is where we have very few schools. and in fact i was stunned that out of 120 schools and sfusd in district six, i only have three schools in my district and one is a charter high school, on treasure island. and i imagine that this will continue to be something for us to look at. is that where the growth is occurring is of course, where we don't have a lot of existing schools and so there is not necessarily an opportunity to expand those sites, but i am curious at some point maybe, if we can also look at where our surplus property is, both the city and the school district to see if there potential sites, to see if they are going to expand, or build the new schools and of course, our office continues to be very interested in the construction of mission bay, elementary school and something that we talked about since i was on the board of education. and i can't tell you the number of strollers that i see, in mission bay, every day, and it is actually astonishing. and i was also, really interested in the yields that they looked at and it is interesting, that there is a yield on the different types of housing and it makes sense and there is an assumption, that you are more likely to go to public school, if you live in public housing and or even in a stand alone, affordable housing building, and verses market rate. and i just want to understood this correctly, the yield is one student is yielded per 100 market rate units this is on page seven. >> yes, that is based on the history, and the average of 7 years. so up to 2012. and so what they did was they looked at all of the housing the number of units and the... and they had all of our enrollment data and so they were able to see how many were actually living in those and at those addresses, and to use that as an average and they also say that throughout the report and that it is important to keep monitoring that because, that is up to 2012, and on average, what it was, and so they kind of used that to, for the enrollment forecast, but as that changes, so would the yield formula. >> okay. i am really glad that we are of course, not just looking at the historic trends that will hopefully be doing some survey work among the families wiel they are here before they make decisions on whether to move out or to go private or public and this is a good category, of family to survey to understand their decision-making process. we want to of course, increase the yields in our market rate, units and if anything, and we want more of them to choose to stay in san francisco and to go to sfusd but it is interesting looking at the historical trend, but we don't want to set up a situation, where we assume that market rate families are leaving or going to private school or therefore, not preparing slots for them, because then we are creating the chicken or the egg scenario where we make the assumption and the family choose not to go public because there are not slots and because there is not one in their neighborhood. the one other thing that i just wanted to point out, is that some of the buildings that you listed on page 6, including park terrace and mission creek senior and you said that there are no affordable units assume that you mean no affordable units with kids, because they are senior, and they are 100 percent affordable senior housing, i didn't want to make it seem like we were not building any house ng those buildings and just to clarify. >> commissioner mendoza. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to thank both gill and (inaudible) for the presentation and these are obviously, pieces that we have seen, now, twice. and i think that each time, it reminds us that we really need to bring all of this together. and so, i wanted to just thank you both for that and i also want to acknowledge, lenard tom who is in the audience who is our director over bonds and has managed our fiscal districts. and growth, and improvements in moderization through the bond initiative and thank him for being here, because i think that part of the knowledge that we are going to be gaining from these conversations will include even perhaps the bond initiative being thought through differently. and so, when we started this conversation it was about a variety of different things, and i really want to also acknowledge my colleague president fewer for you know, having this conversation with us and so for me it was about the growth of our city. and how we are starting to be a partner or a larger part of the fabric of the city, the school district at least, in terms of the impact that it has on our families who attend our schools and really getting a better understanding because more and more, people are showing up at our board meeting saying, you know, you need to deal with this and you need to deal with that. clearly some of the issues that are outside of our area, of expertise, and jurisdiction, but would help us to do our planning, if we knew more about what was happening around the growth of our city. and the other thing that i think this conversation will highlight, will be how we look at student assignment going forward. and i think that as we are making some decisions around tweaking it, and where we are in the growth of our, and of the different areas of the city and we are families will be coming from, and it will help us be more pro-active around any tweaks that we do to the student assign sxment this is also going to have us think differently about how we expand our schools, and i think that both president fewer and i have had conversations around did we make willie brown, tall enough? did we give 1950, should we have waited on that and built marshal there and did the affordable housing at the marshal site and so all of these things that we don't feel like we have enough information to speak intelligently about it, or, feel like we can give an opinion about it because we just, we are not aware of all of the different units that were being built around these various sites. and you know, marshal in particular, is really a hot topic item on our agenda right now, because we are going to be presented with some options of how to support the school, with the 351 units being built right next door to it. and this is kind of forced us to think about what can or what are the benefits that marshal should glean from this growth? and some what of an inconvenience during the time that it is being built, but at the same time, is marshal the only school that should benefit from this particular site being built? and so those are really difficult questions that we are going to have to graple with as we learn more and more about what the development is going to look like. and then, supervisor, kim, to your point, you know the use of surplus properties and i think that we have kind of put a hold on doing anything else until we know more about the out come of this working group and then mission bay was one of the schools that i, you know, side by side with you on trying to get this built, and i think that now that we have more of the information from our topographers and the information from the departments we will get a better sense of what is possible, we have met the threshold on permitting on the number of units so that ucsf could transfer the property to san francisco unified and the question becomes how do we pay for a school and what will that school look like? and so i think that having all of this information coming at us is that we can do some better planning around whether or not the mission bay should be a high school, or should it be a prek-5? and you know, this, dream of having it have a science lab, upstairs, where all of our teachers can centrally come, and get trained. is still, you know, it is just that is a dream that i think that we would all like to explore depending on the growth of our city. and you know, mission bay, i think, leaps and bounds and some of the plans that they have to improve the landscape and you know with the warriors coming and with just a variety of different things that will be impacting the community. how we accommodate all of our family and our students will be a really big conversation to have. so i just want to and i am just grateful that everyone has come to the table that we are really going to hammer through this and then hopefully, three of these quarterly meetings have some action plans, and some tasks. and that will help us to have these deeper conversations for planning. >> commissioner fewer? >> thank you. supervisor kim. yes, i think that these two presentations even with the projection of numbers being different, so our projection of numbers, from sfusd from 2040 is 77,000, and mr. kelley just gave us a presentation of projected housing units at about 97,000 or 92,000 and so we are seeing even a 20,000 different in our projections, and so i think that this is really, shows sort of like we need to get on the same page and so there are some other things that i think that we need to be aware of that we are speaking about the increased residency of san francisco. one is that the infrastructure for systems to support the current assignment system and how will the new, residents of san francisco or the patterns actually where you see, we have an increase of population, in areas where we really don't have a lot of schools. and what does our student assignment process, or just the process needs to look like in order to i guess, add to the increased mobility of sff san franciscans and also about the residents who live here and so that is one consideration that we are always looking at is a student assignment and how it effects the larger population of san francisco. and also, the families that are here, and another thing is about our school facilities bonds and if we see that we will need to build new schools, we will need to plan for that far in advance. and we kind of cue up, in order to put a bond on, and we have great needs because we have many, many old buildings, but, in order for us to build a school, it is very expensive, and the new willie brown middle school cost about 54 million and it takes five years to actually put a bond on, and plan for it and design it and have it built and ready for open and by the way, the new school is opening in august of 2015. and another thing to consider is 135 van ness, we are looking at educational arts complex there and we do have extra space. so the conversation has been, what do we do with that extra space? the mid market area where there is a lot of growth and as you can, and supervisor kim knows, that we don't have a middle school there at all. we have one small elementary school, and we have betsy carmichael and which their little school was designed to be a very small little school and actually all of our elementary schools are small elementary schools and have the capacity of about 400 or 500 and so i think that it causes us to pause and rethink a little bit about where, or what we need to do with our existing properties and also, if our school population changes, and we see a increase, we may need to look at new administrative offices that can also support and accommodate this new growth in our student enrollment. that will mean that we will need to look at probably a new administrative office, or build on our existing one consider thating our administrative offices are all over the city and not in one location, and so i think this is very timely to have this conversation and what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell mentioned about what is happening in the mission, and we can't look at one development, and i think that it would not be prudent or wise to look at one development without looking in isolation and that we would need to look at, all of the developments surrounding for example, marshal elementary school. and that has the maximum capacity of 240 students since we did sell the property right across the street from it, to the mayor's office of housing hoping to build 115 of affordable family units which we thought may go to marshal elementary school. so that i think we are challenged in a couple of ways here. and i think that the information that we have, needs to coincide with the information that and be aligned with the information that the city is giving us and we need to look at transportation
us to take action to agree to allow mr. fried to work on developing this and implementing the existing timeline proposed. so that's the motion on the floor. okay, that motion is moved by commissioner crews without objection. the motion passes and we move forward with the development of the plan. thank you. okay, madam -- do i need a second without objection? >> no, you needed a second for that motion. >> okay, thank you. i didn't realize that, sorry. >> second. >> okay, seconded by commissioner mar without objection the item moves forward with a positive recommendation. better? thank you. all right, so let's go to the next item. >> item no. 5, executive officer's report. >> jason fried, lafco staff, i know many of you want at some point to go see a giant's game so i'll make this quick. next month we are approving a potential schedule for the 2015 calendar. we have the traditional dates we've met on for the past few years and i'm looking at having that same calendar be moved again. if for some reason anyone wishes to try to change this, let me know within the next week or two so i can check around with everybody else and see if there's a better time that can work. otherwise i will present a similar calendar to this year's calendar for the 2015 calendar for meeting and that's all i have to report at this time. >> okay, commissioners, any comment? okay, i'm going to open this up for public comment, are there any member s of the public who would like to make public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. okay, can you please call the next item? >> item 6, public comment. >> okay, now is the time for general public comment. are there any member s of the public who have general public comment at this time, please step forward. >> good afternoon, one more time, commissioners, eric brooks, just wanted to touch on two things. i think you have another item i could say this at, too, which is future agenda items. once the internex report does come forward in december or january, i think it's really crucial, kind of dovetailing with what mr. holtzman said earlier that one of the important things i saw in the internex report is that it recommends, it says now we should do a plan for how to build out reknewables and efficiency in the city. i don't think that we can wait for the sf puc even if they become more helpful to do that plan. so i would hope that right away that the lafco would have lafco staff have executive officer fried put out a very soon so that right after the internex report is done we are then next year getting the plan ready for the local build out and for clean power sf so that when we finally get the sf puc on board we are ready to move forward with the program immediately. we want to see this program go forward next year or 2016 at the latest. so that's one aspect, that's what we want on that is to make sure that lafco is continuing to take the lead. we don't want to give the lead back to the sf puc even if they start saying good things. one little note on what will be the future report from staff on undergrounding is that we're not talking about planning out a broad band network, we're talking about when executive officer fried does this study work that it's taking into account these other things so how he lays out how we should do undergrounding takes into account chattanooga and the ammiano study, et cetera. >> thank you. any other members like to make public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, can you please call the next item? >> item no. 7, future agenda items. >> okay, any commissioners with any suggestions of any future agenda items? seeing none, we will open it up for public comment. are there any member s of the public who would like to make public comment at this time? seeing none, public comment is closed. madam clerk, please call the next item. >> item no. 8, adjournment. >> my favorite part. we are adjourned. go, giants. (meeting adjourned).. >> good morning betsy carmichael. >> good morning. >> one more time good morning betsy car michael. >> (speaking foreign language.) >> buns dies. >> my name is 89 i can't i'm the preferential of betsy car michael filipino education center (clapping.) we want to welcome we want okay. we want to testing can everybody hear me we want to welcome everyone to walk and roll today day and on behalf of the betsy car michael community i want to give a warm welcome to the honorable mayor ed lee supervisor supervisor jane kim (clapping (clapping.) superintendent carranza chief suhr (clapping.) and all of city and transportation leaders that who are here this morning. >> (clapping) >> we have very happy to be here today to highlight that walking to school can be fun and healthy for our students betsy car michael is a very special school because of the exists people and the families who work for a one purpose to make this school a great place to learn for the children of san francisco and a we love that our school it in the heart of this great city of san francisco and unfortunately student families and staff are put in danger of traffic too often our parents and school community have worked to win the safety improvement we have a leading cerebral on 7th street and fulsome and new school zone signage i want to thank you commissioner lee e mayor ed lee for his leadership and making our streets safe for children at betsy and across the city. >> i'd like to thank supervisor jane kim so far supporting the children and families here in the south of market and working to implement those safety measures i i would to thank superintendent carranza for his leadership and violation 2025 lastly i want to give a shout out to ms. washington who has cooperated a all this together (clapping) i also want to thank the many leaders and staff here from sf t partnering including sf dpw and sf environment and mta sfpd and the community of is transportation authority for providing the resources for this program we look forward to working with everyone to address the safety censures our chblg children can walk and roll to school it is our privilege so welcome the honorable mayor, mayor ed lee welcome. >> thank you principle good morning, everyone. >> good morning what a happy giants day we have yeah. >> yeah.

(clapping.) we've done complochlts around this school and that's correct to supervisor jane kim she's been a bin champion of making sure this school is safe we're we're going to do the same thing at see west portal and james weldon johnson how about every school is safe like this one yeah. (clapping.) we're going to work hard to do that we want every school, in fact, some kids have to take the bus and ride to school some kids take hair priekz e bikes and ride to school and many, many kids walk to go school we want to make sure our entire experience whether on the sidewalks or crossings the streets is also guarantee go back to be safe that's work working with hard to pass a bond to get more money to fix those streets and make them safer working class to make sure 3 vision zero everybody knows vision zero that that means no fatalities or accidents that means our city will be safe we want zero accidents that hurt people because of cars or because of crosswalks that are not safe vision zero is the way we want to make sure we fund that well ink say vision zero all vision zero. >> we have a big advocate today call walk sf they're helping us organ all the volunteers throughout san francisco to make sure that we get to this policy in the city so i have everyone working together for your safety let's make sure our city is not only safe it's successful and we'll make sure that our school board keeps working with us i have a member of the school board that works with me she's hydra mendosa working real hard to support our schools so let's have it for safe schools safe schools. >> safe schools. >> vision zero. >> vision zero. >> walk and roll. >> walk and roll go giant. >> go giants. >> all right.

they measured the yields in the completed project and they are listed here on the slide and so treasure island, and mission bay and the hill and soma and large condo buildings. and it turns out that yields very widely, and depending on the type of housing, and what they did, and the next slide when which i will bring up now shows for one particular area what they did. and so for each of the housing in the area. and they looked at the type of units that were in it and the number of units that were in it and the numbers that were affordable and then they took an average of sfusd and students enrolled, over a period of 7 years. and they used that to create a yield for a type of housing and so the next slide, actually shows what that is. these are the come parable yields that were used in the forecast, and that, are in our most recent forecast and now, that throughout the document and hopefully you have received the full report as well. they cautioned constantly that if the market rate units generate more students than the forecasts are too low. and they suggested that it is really important to monitor new developments to see if the assumptions are correct and so as the housing becomes completed to continue to do that kind of analysis to see what the student yields might be. the next slide shows, new housing and enrollment forecast and so with the data that they had at the time from the planning department, and from the other departments that they worked with to get data, these were some of what they forecast. and that, with the more than 77,000 new housing units would yield more than 8,000 k, 12, public school students, and once completed and that the students would enter gradually to the 30 year period and they looked out as far as 2040 and they said that it was important to monitor the progress and so the forecast could be adjusted. and that the hope sf, the hunter's view and the data would be very important to analyze from that. because it will help us to calibrate our student yields and the future mixed inside housing. and the bottom line is, that the enrollment forecast, and they did anticipate and they suggested that while the numbers may vary and i will move to the next slide, the trend they imagined being the same and in other words, that the cohorts that housing and increased birth rates will result in over a period of time, an increase in enrollment for sfusd and again, just to kind of reiterate what was kind of forshadowed in the earlier discussion and presentation, that the forecasts are highly sensitive to the student yields and that is something that we need to monitor and the timing and when they develop these enrollment projections the timing about housing development was uncertain and so moving forward and working with the planning department and others, it will be very helpful to have the most current data to refresh the enrollment forecast and this visual on the next slide just kind of shows, where some of the major housing developments and are located and how that will have an impact on the over all picture. and it is directly connected to something that has been a long standing observation, for the san francisco unified school district, and that is that there is a mismatch between our, where our students live and where our schools are located in 2009, they did an extensive analysis that illustrated and just mismatched and then, each year, and the annual report, we update this particular map, that shows based on the number of applicants, in each attendance area, how that compared to the number of seats that are available in our existing elementary schools. and the patterns that you see here are very consistent with the patterns that were revealed in the analysis done in 2009. and that is to say that there is high concentrations of students living in the south east and part of our city. and that there is less elementary space in those schools than there are children who are living near it and so the red dot indicates that there is, and there are a greater number of residents living in that area, than there are kindergarten seats available. and the larger the red, the greater the mismatch between those two. and the yellow circles indicate that there are more seats in that attendance area, than there are children who applied to go to kindergarten, not necessarily to that school. they could have applied anywhere in the city and it is saying take the universe of children who applied to kindergarten and see where they live not the choices but where they live and compare it to the number of seats that we have in the district and so this finding is consistent each year that there is a mismatch between where our students live and where our schools are located. so, some of the key questions we are exploring and beginning to explore in more depth are do the enrollment forecasts indicate a need to build new schools? and if they do, when and where? what would the time frame be? when do we expect these increases to materialize in our schools. how might we address the mismatch between where our students live and where the schools are located? and indeed, where the additional growth is anticipated and how that is going to exaserbate the mismatch and what changes might need, and might be needed to support the relationship between the built environment and the teaching and learning for the 21st century and there is a lot of discussion around that happening and particularly with regard to the high schools and our vision, 2025 and the graduate student profile and those questions are explored by various teams in the district. in terms of next steps, we are really excited about the collaboration with the city and while we have used the data in the past to develop the enrollment projections and we appreciated that and we look forward to a deeper engagement between the sfusd and city agencies as we work to reresearch our enrollment forecast. we are also hoping to reengage our demographer to base them on the latest housing and enrollment data, and a couple of things that the committee might be interested in knowing, is that we are partnering with uc berkeley, and they have a plus fellowship, program that stands for planning and learning united for systems change and there are three different areas that we are going to be exploring with us this year, through the plus fellowship, one is the impact of transand local housing development and change and specifically the plus will look at, and we will look to see how other districts and cities, across the nation are addressing this issue and approaching some of the key questions that we are exploring and there is also, some fellow that is going to be working on the student transportation planning for equity, health and sustainability and this is all modes of transportation and there are a couple of fellows that will be working with the hope sf, community and redevelopment and education and they are going to be working with the city and also with sfusd on that. and so this is just hopefully and it provides the information and the committee was interested in reviewing and i am happy to answer any questions that you might have. >> thank you. miss okeef, this is actually super interesting. and when i looked through some of the data a couple of weeks ago, that you sent to our office, i was fascinated by the fact that there is a very predictable correlation between the number of births and then sfusd attendance and it is almost hard to believe that it has been 50 percent of all births on any given year, than later attend kindergarten, and it is great to see that that has grown to 53 percent and clearly the remaining 50 percent that remains some of them have moved out of the city and some of them have chose to go to private school and there is a steady prediction and i had a couple of questions and maybe they are not so much questions, but, questions to be answered today, but questions to be answered through these meetings between sfusd and planning and by the way i am very happy that both commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and fewer are pushing this forward because this is the type of plan thating we want to happen today so that there is not a day that we have hit the capacity on kindergarten enrollment and we are looking around on where to place all of these kindergarteners that do want to go to public school here in san francisco. a couple of things that i have noticed, one is that, you know, largely where the growth is occurring today, is where we have very few schools. and in fact i was stunned that out of 120 schools and sfusd in district six, i only have three schools in my district and one is a charter high school, on treasure island. and i imagine that this will continue to be something for us to look at. is that where the growth is occurring is of course, where we don't have a lot of existing schools and so there is not necessarily an opportunity to expand those sites, but i am curious at some point maybe, if we can also look at where our surplus property is, both the city and the school district to see if there potential sites, to see if they are going to expand, or build the new schools and of course, our office continues to be very interested in the construction of mission bay, elementary school and something that we talked about since i was on the board of education. and i can't tell you the number of strollers that i see, in mission bay, every day, and it is actually astonishing. and i was also, really interested in the yields that they looked at and it is interesting, that there is a yield on the different types of housing and it makes sense and there is an assumption, that you are more likely to go to public school, if you live in public housing and or even in a stand alone, affordable housing building, and verses market rate. and i just want to understood this correctly, the yield is one student is yielded per 100 market rate units this is on page seven. >> yes, that is based on the history, and the average of 7 years. so up to 2012. and so what they did was they looked at all of the housing the number of units and the... and they had all of our enrollment data and so they were able to see how many were actually living in those and at those addresses, and to use that as an average and they also say that throughout the report and that it is important to keep monitoring that because, that is up to 2012, and on average, what it was, and so they kind of used that to, for the enrollment forecast, but as that changes, so would the yield formula. >> okay. i am really glad that we are of course, not just looking at the historic trends that will hopefully be doing some survey work among the families wiel they are here before they make decisions on whether to move out or to go private or public and this is a good category, of family to survey to understand their decision-making process. we want to of course, increase the yields in our market rate, units and if anything, and we want more of them to choose to stay in san francisco and to go to sfusd but it is interesting looking at the historical trend, but we don't want to set up a situation, where we assume that market rate families are leaving or going to private school or therefore, not preparing slots for them, because then we are creating the chicken or the egg scenario where we make the assumption and the family choose not to go public because there are not slots and because there is not one in their neighborhood. the one other thing that i just wanted to point out, is that some of the buildings that you listed on page 6, including park terrace and mission creek senior and you said that there are no affordable units assume that you mean no affordable units with kids, because they are senior, and they are 100 percent affordable senior housing, i didn't want to make it seem like we were not building any house ng those buildings and just to clarify. >> commissioner mendoza. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to thank both gill and (inaudible) for the presentation and these are obviously, pieces that we have seen, now, twice. and i think that each time, it reminds us that we really need to bring all of this together. and so, i wanted to just thank you both for that and i also want to acknowledge, lenard tom who is in the audience who is our director over bonds and has managed our fiscal districts. and growth, and improvements in moderization through the bond initiative and thank him for being here, because i think that part of the knowledge that we are going to be gaining from these conversations will include even perhaps the bond initiative being thought through differently. and so, when we started this conversation it was about a variety of different things, and i really want to also acknowledge my colleague president fewer for you know, having this conversation with us and so for me it was about the growth of our city. and how we are starting to be a partner or a larger part of the fabric of the city, the school district at least, in terms of the impact that it has on our families who attend our schools and really getting a better understanding because more and more, people are showing up at our board meeting saying, you know, you need to deal with this and you need to deal with that. clearly some of the issues that are outside of our area, of expertise, and jurisdiction, but would help us to do our planning, if we knew more about what was happening around the growth of our city. and the other thing that i think this conversation will highlight, will be how we look at student assignment going forward. and i think that as we are making some decisions around tweaking it, and where we are in the growth of our, and of the different areas of the city and we are families will be coming from, and it will help us be more pro-active around any tweaks that we do to the student assign sxment this is also going to have us think differently about how we expand our schools, and i think that both president fewer and i have had conversations around did we make willie brown, tall enough? did we give 1950, should we have waited on that and built marshal there and did the affordable housing at the marshal site and so all of these things that we don't feel like we have enough information to speak intelligently about it, or, feel like we can give an opinion about it because we just, we are not aware of all of the different units that were being built around these various sites. and you know, marshal in particular, is really a hot topic item on our agenda right now, because we are going to be presented with some options of how to support the school, with the 351 units being built right next door to it. and this is kind of forced us to think about what can or what are the benefits that marshal should glean from this growth? and some what of an inconvenience during the time that it is being built, but at the same time, is marshal the only school that should benefit from this particular site being built? and so those are really difficult questions that we are going to have to graple with as we learn more and more about what the development is going to look like. and then, supervisor, kim, to your point, you know the use of surplus properties and i think that we have kind of put a hold on doing anything else until we know more about the out come of this working group and then mission bay was one of the schools that i, you know, side by side with you on trying to get this built, and i think that now that we have more of the information from our topographers and the information from the departments we will get a better sense of what is possible, we have met the threshold on permitting on the number of units so that ucsf could transfer the property to san francisco unified and the question becomes how do we pay for a school and what will that school look like? and so i think that having all of this information coming at us is that we can do some better planning around whether or not the mission bay should be a high school, or should it be a prek-5? and you know, this, dream of having it have a science lab, upstairs, where all of our teachers can centrally come, and get trained. is still, you know, it is just that is a dream that i think that we would all like to explore depending on the growth of our city. and you know, mission bay, i think, leaps and bounds and some of the plans that they have to improve the landscape and you know with the warriors coming and with just a variety of different things that will be impacting the community. how we accommodate all of our family and our students will be a really big conversation to have. so i just want to and i am just grateful that everyone has come to the table that we are really going to hammer through this and then hopefully, three of these quarterly meetings have some action plans, and some tasks. and that will help us to have these deeper conversations for planning. >> commissioner fewer? >> thank you. supervisor kim. yes, i think that these two presentations even with the projection of numbers being different, so our projection of numbers, from sfusd from 2040 is 77,000, and mr. kelley just gave us a presentation of projected housing units at about 97,000 or 92,000 and so we are seeing even a 20,000 different in our projections, and so i think that this is really, shows sort of like we need to get on the same page and so there are some other things that i think that we need to be aware of that we are speaking about the increased residency of san francisco. one is that the infrastructure for systems to support the current assignment system and how will the new, residents of san francisco or the patterns actually where you see, we have an increase of population, in areas where we really don't have a lot of schools. and what does our student assignment process, or just the process needs to look like in order to i guess, add to the increased mobility of sff san franciscans and also about the residents who live here and so that is one consideration that we are always looking at is a student assignment and how it effects the larger population of san francisco. and also, the families that are here, and another thing is about our school facilities bonds and if we see that we will need to build new schools, we will need to plan for that far in advance. and we kind of cue up, in order to put a bond on, and we have great needs because we have many, many old buildings, but, in order for us to build a school, it is very expensive, and the new willie brown middle school cost about 54 million and it takes five years to actually put a bond on, and plan for it and design it and have it built and ready for open and by the way, the new school is opening in august of 2015. and another thing to consider is 135 van ness, we are looking at educational arts complex there and we do have extra space. so the conversation has been, what do we do with that extra space? the mid market area where there is a lot of growth and as you can, and supervisor kim knows, that we don't have a middle school there at all. we have one small elementary school, and we have betsy carmichael and which their little school was designed to be a very small little school and actually all of our elementary schools are small elementary schools and have the capacity of about 400 or 500 and so i think that it causes us to pause and rethink a little bit about where, or what we need to do with our existing properties and also, if our school population changes, and we see a increase, we may need to look at new administrative offices that can also support and accommodate this new growth in our student enrollment. that will mean that we will need to look at probably a new administrative office, or build on our existing one consider thating our administrative offices are all over the city and not in one location, and so i think this is very timely to have this conversation and what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell mentioned about what is happening in the mission, and we can't look at one development, and i think that it would not be prudent or wise to look at one development without looking in isolation and that we would need to look at, all of the developments surrounding for example, marshal elementary school. and that has the maximum capacity of 240 students since we did sell the property right across the street from it, to the mayor's office of housing hoping to build 115 of affordable family units which we thought may go to marshal elementary school. so that i think we are challenged in a couple of ways here. and i think that the information that we have, needs to coincide with the information that and be aligned with the information that the city is giving us and we need to look at transportation systems and uls the infrastructure to support our families here and what kind of support services, are we planning for the next 20 years to support the families coming in? do we have enough recreation and open space and i think that all of these things the families look at and schools do need to look at this and not in isolation but rather, as part of the bigger picture. of what makes san francisco a great place to live and people want it live here. and educate the children in the public school system and actually lay down roots here. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. seeing, no further comment. at this time, i will open up for public comment. >> seeing no public comment at this time, public comment is now closed. i do want to thank both the planning department and sfusd, for the presentation today. and also, beginning the conversation a month ago, and in advance for preparing for this hearing and i am really excited about supporting the development of policies, here both in the city level and at the school district level. and that will further integrate, both the city's planning, and the projections and also own plan and forecasting and this is not just an issue that impacts planning but the future economic development of the city but i do hear from the employers how important our public school district and the success of this district is to growing our workforce population. i am really glad that we have this at this school district and maybe this is an appropriate item for the city and the school district to continue a robust discussion around. and having served on both bodies, it really is just interesting to see, kind of the shift in conversation, when we are looking at our surplus properties like 700, and 1950 mission, the idea was always, how can we sell it or use it for other purposes to benefit the community, affordable housing, revenue for the school districts, grocery stores, garden and all of those sorts of things and now we are looking back at the sites and saying that actually are they more appropriate to help us grow our student bod barack obamaedy in areas that we are growing our residents population i i look forward to a information on the mission bay, elementary school and i know that the office will continue. >> and i am sorry. >> i keep calling it the elementary school and pushing on the site and the construction of that site, because that is a site that is deeded to the school district to build on and we know that we will not meet the need if we don't do the planning today there is a lot of long term planning that is involved in this. and what is exciting is that we can incorporate this in the area plans and particularly in our district, we are engaged in long term plans, with central soma, and maybe other area plans, and you know, our focus from our office has always been about affordable housing and open space, and the street infrastructure and public transit, but now we should be looking at child care, and kthrough 12, and maybe asking, and seeing whether that should be a part of our area planning, whether we should be looking at parcels or setting aside parcels for the growth of usd and if we should be looking at a study and developer impact fees for this as well and that is exciting and i look forward to the next stage of conversation. and i assume that we will want to keep this item at committee. so, i will make a motion to continue to the call of the chair. and i think that it would be great, also to have sfmta involved in a future conversation because transportation is a key piece to this as well. not just housing and our schools. and i think that you know, it is really interesting as we see increased congestion in our city because of our growth in worker and resident population there will be i think more questions on how we do the student assign sxment enrollment. and so seeing, no further comments, i will take a motion to continue this item. >> and i will do that without opposition. >> madam, clerk are there any other items? >> there are no other agenda items. >> seeing none, meeting is adjourned. >> call the meeting to order. >> roll call. commissioner leslie katz? >> here. >> commissioner kimberly [speaker not understood]? >> here. >> he commissioner doreen [speaker not understood]? >> here. >> item 2, approval of the minutes for the october 14, 2014 meeting. >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? minutes are approved. >> item 3, public comment and executive session. >> any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. >> executive session. >> is there a motion to move into -- >> so moved. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> i move to reconvene in open session. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> so moved to not disclose to not did you say close anything discussed in closed session. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> pledge of allegiance. i

student assignment and how it effects the larger population of san francisco. and also, the families that are here, and another thing is about our school facilities bonds and if we see that we will need to build new schools, we will need to plan for that far in advance. and we kind of cue up, in order to put a bond on, and we have great needs because we have many, many old buildings, but, in order for us to build a school, it is very expensive, and the new willie brown middle school cost about 54 million and it takes five years to actually put a bond on, and plan for it and design it and have it built and ready for open and by the way, the new school is opening in august of 2015. and another thing to consider is 135 van ness, we are looking at educational arts complex there and we do have extra space. so the conversation has been, what do we do with that extra space? the mid market area where there is a lot of growth and as you can, and supervisor kim knows, that we don't have a middle school there at all. we have one small elementary school, and we have betsy carmichael and which their little school was designed to be a very small little school and actually all of our elementary schools are small elementary schools and have the capacity of about 400 or 500 and so i think that it causes us to pause and rethink a little bit about where, or what we need to do with our existing properties and also, if our school population changes, and we see a increase, we may need to look at new administrative offices that can also support and accommodate this new growth in our student enrollment. that will mean that we will need to look at probably a new administrative office, or build on our existing one consider thating our administrative offices are all over the city and not in one location, and so i think this is very timely to have this conversation and what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell mentioned about what is happening in the mission, and we can't look at one development, and i think that it would not be prudent or wise to look at one development without looking in isolation and that we would need to look at, all of the developments surrounding for example, marshal elementary school. and that has the maximum capacity of 240 students since we did sell the property right across the street from it, to the mayor's office of housing hoping to build 115 of affordable family units which we thought may go to marshal elementary school. so that i think we are challenged in a couple of ways here. and i think that the information that we have, needs to coincide with the information that and be aligned with the information that the city is giving us and we need to look at transportation systems and uls the infrastructure to support our families here and what kind of support services, are we planning for the next 20 years to support the families coming in? do we have enough recreation and open space and i think that all of these things the families look at and schools do need to look at this and not in isolation but rather, as part of the bigger picture. of what makes san francisco a great place to live and people want it live here. and educate the children in the public school system and actually lay down roots here. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. seeing, no further comment. at this time, i will open up for public comment. >> seeing no public comment at this time, public comment is now closed. i do want to thank both the planning department and sfusd, for the presentation today. and also, beginning the conversation a month ago, and in advance for preparing for this hearing and i am really excited about supporting the development of policies, here both in the city level and at the school district level. and that will further integrate, both the city's planning, and the projections and also own plan and forecasting and this is not just an issue that impacts planning but the future economic development of the city but i do hear from the employers how important our public school district and the success of this district is to growing our workforce population. i am really glad that we have this at this school district and maybe this is an appropriate item for the city and the school district to continue a robust discussion around. and having served on both bodies, it really is just interesting to see, kind of the shift in conversation, when we are looking at our surplus properties like 700, and 1950 mission, the idea was always, how can we sell it or use it for other purposes to benefit the community, affordable housing, revenue for the school districts, grocery stores, garden and all of those sorts of things and now we are looking back at the sites and saying that actually are they more appropriate to help us grow our student bod barack obamaedy in areas that we are growing our residents population i i look forward to a information on the mission bay, elementary school and i know that the office will continue. >> and i am sorry. >> i keep calling it the elementary school and pushing on the site and the construction of that site, because that is a site that is deeded to the school district to build on and we know that we will not meet the need if we don't do the planning today there is a lot of long term planning that is involved in this. and what is exciting is that we can incorporate this in the area plans and particularly in our district, we are engaged in long term plans, with central soma, and maybe other area plans, and you know, our focus from our office has always been about affordable housing and open space, and the street infrastructure and public transit, but now we should be looking at child care, and kthrough 12, and maybe asking, and seeing whether that should be a part of our area planning, whether we should be looking at parcels or setting aside parcels for the growth of usd and if we should be looking at a study and developer impact fees for this as well and that is exciting and i look forward to the next stage of conversation. and i assume that we will want to keep this item at committee. so, i will make a motion to continue to the call of the chair. and i think that it would be great, also to have sfmta involved in a future conversation because transportation is a key piece to this as well. not just housing and our schools. and i think that you know, it is really interesting as we see increased congestion in our city because of our growth in worker and resident population there will be i think more questions on how we do the student assign sxment enrollment. and so seeing, no further comments, i will take a motion to continue this item. >> and i will do that without opposition. >> madam, clerk are there any other items? >> there are no other agenda items. >> seeing none, meeting is adjourned. >> good afternoon everyone. my name is david campos and i'm the chair of the neighborhood services and safety committee of the board of supervisors of the city and county of san francisco. it is our regular meeting of october 23, 2014. we are joined today by supervisor mar and scott wiener. the clerk of the committee is derek evans and we'd like to thank the following members of sfgtv staff who are covering this meeting today, jessie larson and joshua alex sander, district clerk, do you have any announcements. >> please make sure to silence all electronic devices. [inaudible] be on the november 4, 2014 board of supervisors agenda unless otherwise stated. >> thank you very much. if you can call item 1. item 1 is amending the police code to appeal the position [inaudible] to prohibit individuals from falling from the entrance of the facility, to prohibit impeding access to the door. >> thank you very much. today is a very special day for the neighborhood services and safety committee and on a personal level we're -- it's a very important day for me because we're dealing with two of the most important issues that my office has dealt with in the last year, and since i became a supervisor and i want to acknowledge the incredible work of my chief of staff, hillary, who has spent many years work inging by a number of protestors who come from the extreme position that they can dictate to women what options and choices they can make with their bodies. the free standing clinic that is planned parenthood sits before a relatively narrow sidewalk. every week as women enter the clinic to receive reproductive healthcare services, they must pass by several protestors who scream don't kill your baby or abortions cause breast cancer. the 8 foot tall posters contain pictures of bloody fetuses at different stages of gestation and faces like repent or burn. oftentimes religious music is playing on the radio they have and then the protestors have video cameras facing the front door of the clinic to videotape the women and staff as they're going in. in addition to the protestors, women often have to walk by counter protestors, usually neighbors or pedestrians who mean well and who engage in arguments with these protestors. the arguments are often loud and heated directly in front of the clinic and again, these are well intentioned individuals who usually disagree with the protestors and believe strongly in the right of women to choose for themselves, but these arguments and the yelling, counter protestors are often very difficult for the patients. they cause them a great deal of stress as they wait for sensitive medical procedures to be completed. anyone would feel harassed and intimidated having to pass by this scene, however if you're a woman seeking sensitive health services, a woman who has made the difficult decision to obtain an abortion this harassment can be detrimental to your health. last year to address this situation in and effort to up hold the rights of free speech and to protect the citizens, i introduced and this board unanimously approved a 25 foot buffer zone outside of reproductive health centers here in san francisco. after the implementation of this legislation the situation in front of planned parenthood improved dramatically. patients were able to freely access services and avoid some of the stress that's associated with the loud protests and conflicts that they have witnessing for these years. unfortunately at the end of this year our united states supreme court in that was substantially similar to the san francisco law. because of that my office and i have been working over the past few months with our city attorney's office to amend this buffer zone law so this is compliant, but still accomplishes the objectives of women to access reproductive health services without infrining upon the first amendment rights of these protestors. i believe the law we have introduced strikes that right balance. it will allow quiet consensual conversations between anti abortion protestors, without subjecting planned parenthood and patients and staff to scary and intim intimidating harassment. it prohibits anyone from following and harassing any person within 25 feet of a reproductive healthcare facility in san francisco. it inhibits impeding access to a door. it prohibits individuals from shouting on any public street or sidewalk within 50 feet of a property line of a reproductive health facility. if an individual violates any of these prohibitions after a written warning a police officer can require the person to disperse and remain 25 feet away from the health facility until eight hours or until close of business of the facility. i want to thank the city attorney's office, and especially erin bernstein for the incredible work she has done throughout this process with this piece of legislation. i want to thank the police department for the work they have provided. i believe that we are simultaneously complying with the law, but in the typical san francisco fashion, pushing the envelope to ensure we stand up for women and reproductive choice in no uncertain terms. what i will continue to say is that if a woman's right to choose cannot be protected in san francisco, then where in this country can that right be protected? that's what this is about and i want to thank my cosponsors of this important legislation, supervisors, yee, avalos, kim, and mar. i know supervisor wiener is here to speak on this item as well . and lastly, and more importantly, i want to thank the women, the patients, the staff of planned parenthood for the courage that they've had over these years, for the dignity and strength with which they have carried them. you have put up with a great deal and this is the very least that our city can do. thank you for what you do for the women of this city on a daily basis. supervisor wiener. >> thank you mr. chairman and thank you for bringing this proposal forward and for the work of your office in doing that. i just wanted to come by today to express my strong support for the legislation and to add my name as a cosponsor. you you know, it's been 41 years since roe v wade and extraordinary in a very negative way that 41 years later we continue to see concerted efforts all across the country to try to nullify the right of women to control their bodies through every conceivable kind of obstruction of behavior, whether it is legislation that is passed in various states around the country pretended that the u.s. constitution doesn't apply in those states. laws that either restrict reproductive services directly or make it impossible to actually operate reproductive health clinics in large geographic areas so that particularly our working class and low income women are effectively and completely denied access to those services. we see it here in california where it seems like every few years statewide ballot measure pops up on the but it is exhausting and requires a huge amount of resources that we should be able to use in more positive ways instead of playing defense. and then we see in more informal ways in terms of harassment of women who are simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights to access healthcare and to control their own bodies and it is despicable and the awful and we have to make sure that we are doing everything we can to ensure that women have access, consistent access to healthcare services and they are not bullied and harassed and shamed out of actually accessing those services. we have always stood united at this board unanimously passing legislation to ensure women have that access and do what we can do, and i think it's appropriate that within almost immediately after the supreme court's unfortunate decision in june that we're stepping forward again to do what we can do. and as we always do in san francisco, we respect the law. we may not agree with what the supreme court has done, but that is the law of land and we need to make sure we are pushing the envelope and stepping up to the line and doing everything we can to protect access for women to these reproductive health services. i'm proud we're doing this, i strongly support this and look forward to getting this passed, signed and into law and enforced. >> thank you for you cosponsorship. supervisor mar. i >> i wanted to acknowledge that supervisor campos has been working on this for several years. i urge the mayor and supervisor cohen, who are also interested in this issue to join supervisor campos to end the gauntlet of harassment many women face. i guess to me the so called free speech of the haters that are out there trying to prevent women from accessing their reproductive rights are more on the equivalent of hate speech to me and i'm glad supervisor campos has crafted narrowly tailored effective policy that i think we should be passing unanimously at this board. i urge the mayor and others to join the rest of us on this measure as well. thank you. >> thank you very much supervisor mar. supervisor yee has joined us. >> yes, thank you. i just wan to join the comments that i heard that i'm glad to be coauthoring and i'm proud of you, supervisor campos, that you didn't just back off of the court's decision, but actually utilizing another court decision to craft this so that hopefully we will continue to be able to protect the rights of women. >> thank you supervisor. and again, thank you to my colleagues on this committee for their cosponsorship. why don't we now proceed to public comment. i have a number of cards, but if any member of the public would like to speak on this item, please come on up and i would ask if you can line up as we call your name on your right, our left, and normally i give people three minutes, but i don't want to lose a quorum so i'm going to limit public commented to two minutes so we can proceed with the business of the committee. here are the names for item 1, henny kelly, dana klein, patricia, and i want to thank patricia who has traveled from los angeles to be here on these two items. anyone who would like to speak, please come on up and again, i want to thank you for being here. >> hello, my name is henny kelly. i spent my childbearing years pre roe versus wade and it was a different world then. it was a world where you -- where people died because they had to seek abortions in back alleys. it was a place where doctors went to jail if they tried to save women. in my lifetime this has changed and yet, there is something that is going on in this world that doesn't want to give women their rights, that doesn't want to give women their equality. if i am a man i can get viagra and i can get cialis and hopefully somebody will buy me a tub or two of them so my husband and i can lol in them after the cialis, but if i'm a woman i have a hard time. i don't have a control of my body in some states. if we don't have this in san francisco, if we can't show the nation how to treat women, then it's a very sad time. i fought for roe versus wade and i will fight for this because i believe this is a way of giving women their rights and their dignity and control of their bodies. i want to thank all the people who are coauthoring and i want to especially thank david campos for bringing this up and for not just letting it go when the supreme court ruled. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much. thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello, my name is dana, i'm here on behalf of women's community clinic and i simply just want to say that on behalf of the 5,000 women and girls that women's community clinic sees each year as a stand alone reproductive healthcare facility we support this measure. there is plenty of data that shows that supporting access to reproductive healthcare you're not only improving health outcome for women and children, in particular women seeking abortion or birth control, but the population at large. i applaud your efforts into making this into san francisco law and i'm excited for a unanimous vote. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> hello, i'm vice president of parenthood. we provide healthcare to 100,000 clients each year at 22 health centers in 20 counties and here in san francisco we serve about 13,000 patients here year in our health centers. thank you for working tirelessly on this ordinance. thank you supervisors for cosponsoring. the u.s. supreme court's flawed decision in june striking down the buffer zone in massachusetts has exposed patients and staff at the san francisco health center to filming, blocking, insulting, following women as they approach the planned parenthood center for preventive healthcare which includes cancer screening. they play music loud enough to disturb patients and staff inside and their force patients and staff and neighbors to walk a graunt let of disturbing and graphic images. i'd like to put up one of those -- projector, so you can see some of it, just a little bit of it. >> go ahead. >> so i'm also submitting some for the record and want to also say that staff, patients and neighbors have reported consistently on the abuse that's happening and we know there are altercations happening in front of the health center and we know nobody wants to see that escalate. thank you to this board, the san francisco city attorney, the sfpd for moving forward with this very promising measure that will up hold our city's proud mission of protecting women, balancing first amendment rights. thank you. >> thank you very much. thank you to all the planned parenthood staff who have to put up with this for yearings. >> good afternoon. i'm representing california family health council. we're the manager of the title ten program for the state. we have a large network of clinics that offer reproductive health education, including four centers in the
piece of a resilient piece of - >> and i felt more positive about things i thought about how to pay for this. >> we didn't want to have one financing option it didn't work. >> we found information about financing they are different options for different types property owners. >> we've seen them offering financially and a pool of styles for a complicated way of saying they'll be able to pay back their loans over the next two years. >> we have 3 options and secondly, to get a loan for the ryan white and the third becoming in the past program participants in that. it is encouraged along coastal easier where we have set time like sand and a high water table to a cause the sand to shake i'm going to get this visitation on the same bridge you'll see the water come to the surface this knocks the foundation over and pushes out the ruptured pipeline >> it is intimidating i'm talking to people as a layman who needs help. >> this is a difficult process for people to navigate we're only focused on outreach so we've got the informational and we've spoken to many different owner groups and community groups all across the city. >> outreach is critical for the retrofitting program the city has to get out to the community and help people said what they have to do and do it and raise finances so this program is an advocate and resource for the community. >> so why not skip to the theme. foremost and most to come we've been presenting community meetings and going face to face with community owners and helping people understand what to do >> you may be wanting to know about the sf green but this will allow you to have is a loan for the property so if you have the property the loan will be summoned by the new owner and this is pay back for your property taxes and the low rates this is a fantastic option. >> i'm in favor of the program obviously we're going to have a earthquake this is from an investment stewardship. >> after a few minutes with folks even if you don't agree you understand the concept. >> we've talked about being able to do this now we're going to be forced to do this it's a good thing but to pay for it. >> it's not only protecting their property but every dollar is for mitigation it truly is protecting our investment overall the city. >> it's the right thing to do. you can look at the soft story building and theirs like the buildings that collapsed in the earthquake and your shufrtdz to see this >> people are getting caught to get this done and if people can find a place in our homes of shelter it will keep people in their homes. >> together we'll work out of getting out of 0 disaster and making the community bringing back to what we love. >> as a level of folks we've talked about we make recommendations to make everyone mitigated their soft story problems no other jurisdiction has tried to tackle this ordinance and we're set to have our program complete by 20/20. >> the quality of the people are here because of the leadership. >> it's a great conversation statewide how to do this and i can only stress this enough if we didn't have the community of the san franciscans that are concerned people, you know, talking about our financing is options and our engineering requirement if you altercated all our work it's consensus driven to provide options we don't have one path but one relative for people to get there. >> it's been an excellent consumption of the services i think i'm going to need if i go through this yeah, i'm very. >> good morning betsy carmichael. >> good morning. >> one more time good morning betsy car michael.

super interesting. and when i looked through some of the data a couple of weeks ago, that you sent to our office, i was fascinated by the fact that there is a very predictable correlation between the number of births and then sfusd attendance and it is almost hard to believe that it has been 50 percent of all births on any given year, than later attend kindergarten, and it is great to see that that has grown to 53 percent and clearly the remaining 50 percent that remains some of them have moved out of the city and some of them have chose to go to private school and there is a steady prediction and i had a couple of questions and maybe they are not so much questions, but, questions to be answered today, but questions to be answered through these meetings between sfusd and planning and by the way i am very happy that both commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell and fewer are pushing this forward because this is the type of plan thating we want to happen today so that there is not a day that we have hit the capacity on kindergarten enrollment and we are looking around on where to place all of these kindergarteners that do want to go to public school here in san francisco. a couple of things that i have noticed, one is that, you know, largely where the growth is occurring today, is where we have very few schools. and in fact i was stunned that out of 120 schools and sfusd in district six, i only have three schools in my district and one is a charter high school, on treasure island. and i imagine that this will continue to be something for us to look at. is that where the growth is occurring is of course, where we don't have a lot of existing schools and so there is not necessarily an opportunity to expand those sites, but i am curious at some point maybe, if we can also look at where our surplus property is, both the city and the school district to see if there potential sites, to see if they are going to expand, or build the new schools and of course, our office continues to be very interested in the construction of mission bay, elementary school and something that we talked about since i was on the board of education. and i can't tell you the number of strollers that i see, in mission bay, every day, and it is actually astonishing. and i was also, really interested in the yields that they looked at and it is interesting, that there is a yield on the different types of housing and it makes sense and there is an assumption, that you are more likely to go to public school, if you live in public housing and or even in a stand alone, affordable housing building, and verses market rate. and i just want to understood this correctly, the yield is one student is yielded per 100 market rate units this is on page seven. >> yes, that is based on the history, and the average of 7 years. so up to 2012. and so what they did was they looked at all of the housing the number of units and the... and they had all of our enrollment data and so they were able to see how many were actually living in those and at those addresses, and to use that as an average and they also say that throughout the report and that it is important to keep monitoring that because, that is up to 2012, and on average, what it was, and so they kind of used that to, for the enrollment forecast, but as that changes, so would the yield formula. >> okay. i am really glad that we are of course, not just looking at the historic trends that will hopefully be doing some survey work among the families wiel they are here before they make decisions on whether to move out or to go private or public and this is a good category, of family to survey to understand their decision-making process. we want to of course, increase the yields in our market rate, units and if anything, and we want more of them to choose to stay in san francisco and to go to sfusd but it is interesting looking at the historical trend, but we don't want to set up a situation, where we assume that market rate families are leaving or going to private school or therefore, not preparing slots for them, because then we are creating the chicken or the egg scenario where we make the assumption and the family choose not to go public because there are not slots and because there is not one in their neighborhood. the one other thing that i just wanted to point out, is that some of the buildings that you listed on page 6, including park terrace and mission creek senior and you said that there are no affordable units assume that you mean no affordable units with kids, because they are senior, and they are 100 percent affordable senior housing, i didn't want to make it seem like we were not building any house ng those buildings and just to clarify. >> commissioner mendoza. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> i want to thank both gill and (inaudible) for the presentation and these are obviously, pieces that we have seen, now, twice. and i think that each time, it reminds us that we really need to bring all of this together. and so, i wanted to just thank you both for that and i also want to acknowledge, lenard tom who is in the audience who is our director over bonds and has managed our fiscal districts. and growth, and improvements in moderization through the bond initiative and thank him for being here, because i think that part of the knowledge that we are going to be gaining from these conversations will include even perhaps the bond initiative being thought through differently. and so, when we started this conversation it was about a variety of different things, and i really want to also acknowledge my colleague president fewer for you know, having this conversation with us and so for me it was about the growth of our city. and how we are starting to be a partner or a larger part of the fabric of the city, the school district at least, in terms of the impact that it has on our families who attend our schools and really getting a better understanding because more and more, people are showing up at our board meeting saying, you know, you need to deal with this and you need to deal with that. clearly some of the issues that are outside of our area, of expertise, and jurisdiction, but would help us to do our planning, if we knew more about what was happening around the growth of our city. and the other thing that i think this conversation will highlight, will be how we look at student assignment going forward. and i think that as we are making some decisions around tweaking it, and where we are in the growth of our, and of the different areas of the city and we are families will be coming from, and it will help us be more pro-active around any tweaks that we do to the student assign sxment this is also going to have us think differently about how we expand our schools, and i think that both president fewer and i have had conversations around did we make willie brown, tall enough? did we give 1950, should we have waited on that and built marshal there and did the affordable housing at the marshal site and so all of these things that we don't feel like we have enough information to speak intelligently about it, or, feel like we can give an opinion about it because we just, we are not aware of all of the different units that were being built around these various sites. and you know, marshal in particular, is really a hot topic item on our agenda right now, because we are going to be presented with some options of how to support the school, with the 351 units being built right next door to it. and this is kind of forced us to think about what can or what are the benefits that marshal should glean from this growth? and some what of an inconvenience during the time that it is being built, but at the same time, is marshal the only school that should benefit from this particular site being built? and so those are really difficult questions that we are going to have to graple with as we learn more and more about what the development is going to look like. and then, supervisor, kim, to your point, you know the use of surplus properties and i think that we have kind of put a hold on doing anything else until we know more about the out come of this working group and then mission bay was one of the schools that i, you know, side by side with you on trying to get this built, and i think that now that we have more of the information from our topographers and the information from the departments we will get a better sense of what is possible, we have met the threshold on permitting on the number of units so that ucsf could transfer the property to san francisco unified and the question becomes how do we pay for a school and what will that school look like? and so i think that having all of this information coming at us is that we can do some better planning around whether or not the mission bay should be a high school, or should it be a prek-5? and you know, this, dream of having it have a science lab, upstairs, where all of our teachers can centrally come, and get trained. is still, you know, it is just that is a dream that i think that we would all like to explore depending on the growth of our city. and you know, mission bay, i think, leaps and bounds and some of the plans that they have to improve the landscape and you know with the warriors coming and with just a variety of different things that will be impacting the community. how we accommodate all of our family and our students will be a really big conversation to have. so i just want to and i am just grateful that everyone has come to the table that we are really going to hammer through this and then hopefully, three of these quarterly meetings have some action plans, and some tasks. and that will help us to have these deeper conversations for planning. >> commissioner fewer? >> thank you. supervisor kim. yes, i think that these two presentations even with the projection of numbers being different, so our projection of numbers, from sfusd from 2040 is 77,000, and mr. kelley just gave us a presentation of projected housing units at about 97,000 or 92,000 and so we are seeing even a 20,000 different in our projections, and so i think that this is really, shows sort of like we need to get on the same page and so there are some other things that i think that we need to be aware of that we are speaking about the increased residency of san francisco. one is that the infrastructure for systems to support the current assignment system and how will the new, residents of san francisco or the patterns actually where you see, we have an increase of population, in areas where we really don't have a lot of schools. and what does our student assignment process, or just the process needs to look like in order to i guess, add to the increased mobility of sff san franciscans and also about the residents who live here and so that is one consideration that we are always looking at is a student assignment and how it effects the larger population of san francisco. and also, the families that are here, and another thing is about our school facilities bonds and if we see that we will need to build new schools, we will need to plan for that far in advance. and we kind of cue up, in order to put a bond on, and we have great needs because we have many, many old buildings, but, in order for us to build a school, it is very expensive, and the new willie brown middle school cost about 54 million and it takes five years to actually put a bond on, and plan for it and design it and have it built and ready for open and by the way, the new school is opening in august of 2015. and another thing to consider is 135 van ness, we are looking at educational arts complex there and we do have extra space. so the conversation has been, what do we do with that extra space? the mid market area where there is a lot of growth and as you can, and supervisor kim knows, that we don't have a middle school there at all. we have one small elementary school, and we have betsy carmichael and which their little school was designed to be a very small little school and actually all of our elementary schools are small elementary schools and have the capacity of about 400 or 500 and so i think that it causes us to pause and rethink a little bit about where, or what we need to do with our existing properties and also, if our school population changes, and we see a increase, we may need to look at new administrative offices that can also support and accommodate this new growth in our student enrollment. that will mean that we will need to look at probably a new administrative office, or build on our existing one consider thating our administrative offices are all over the city and not in one location, and so i think this is very timely to have this conversation and what commissioner mendoza-mcdonnell mentioned about what is happening in the mission, and we can't look at one development, and i think that it would not be prudent or wise to look at one development without looking in isolation and that we would need to look at, all of the developments surrounding for example, marshal elementary school. and that has the maximum capacity of 240 students since we did sell the property right across the street from it, to the mayor's office of housing hoping to build 115 of affordable family units which we thought may go to marshal elementary school. so that i think we are challenged in a couple of ways here. and i think that the information that we have, needs to coincide with the information that and be aligned with the information that the city is giving us and we need to look at transportation systems and uls the infrastructure to support our families here and what kind of support services, are we planning for the next 20 years to support the families coming in? do we have enough recreation and open space and i think that all of these things the families look at and schools do need to look at this and not in isolation but rather, as part of the bigger picture. of what makes san francisco a great place to live and people want it live here. and educate the children in the public school system and actually lay down roots here. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. seeing, no further comment. at this time, i will open up for public comment. >> seeing no public comment at this time, public comment is now closed. i do want to thank both the planning department and sfusd, for the presentation today. and also, beginning the conversation a month ago, and in advance for preparing for this hearing and i am really excited about supporting the development of policies, here both in the city level and at the school district level. and that will further integrate, both the city's planning, and the projections and also own plan and forecasting and this is not just an issue that impacts planning but the future economic development of the city but i do hear from the employers how important our public school district and the success of this district is to growing our workforce population. i am really glad that we have this at this school district and maybe this is an appropriate item for the city and the school district to continue a robust discussion around. and having served on both bodies, it really is just interesting to see, kind of the shift in conversation, when we are looking at our surplus properties like 700, and 1950 mission, the idea was always, how can we sell it or use it for other purposes to benefit the community, affordable housing, revenue for the school districts, grocery stores, garden and all of those sorts of things and now we are looking back at the sites and saying that actually are they more appropriate to help us grow our student bod barack obamaedy in areas that we are growing our residents population i i look forward to a information on the mission bay, elementary school and i know that the office will continue. >> and i am sorry. >> i keep calling it the elementary school and pushing on the site and the construction of that site, because that is a site that is deeded to the school district to build on and we know that we will not meet the need if we don't do the planning today there is a lot of long term planning that is involved in this. and what is exciting is that we can incorporate this in the area plans and particularly in our district, we are engaged in long term plans, with central soma, and maybe other area plans, and you know, our focus from our office has always been about affordable housing and open space, and the street infrastructure and public transit, but now we should be looking at child care, and kthrough 12, and maybe asking, and seeing whether that should be a part of our area planning, whether we should be looking at parcels or setting aside parcels for the growth of usd and if we should be looking at a study and developer impact fees for this as well and that is exciting and i look forward to the next stage of conversation. and i assume that we will want to keep this item at committee. so, i will make a motion to continue to the call of the chair. and i think that it would be great, also to have sfmta involved in a future conversation because transportation is a key piece to this as well. not just housing and our schools. and i think that you know, it is really interesting as we see increased congestion in our city because of our growth in worker and resident population there will be i think more questions on how we do the student assign sxment enrollment. and so seeing, no further comments, i will take a motion to continue this item. >> and i will do that without opposition. >> madam, clerk are there any other items? >> there are no other agenda items. >> seeing none, meeting is adjourned. >> the meeting will commence. good morning, and welcome to the aging and adult service commission, could we have the roll call? president james? >> present. >> vice president seruna >> commissioner itani. >> present. >> loo. >> here. >> ow. >> here. >> roy. >> here. >> and please note that commissioner ann is present. >> thank you, could we have

chiang, jesus diaz, mui fung, kelechi ihenacho, mary ann roeurth, andrea salfiti, mary cabarles, kelvin xu and jane chang >> would you please come forward? [ applause ] >> congratulations. >> okay. >> thank you. >> congratulations. >> thank you. >> and so we are going to, that is exactly right. if everybody can just so kelley, judy, all of you, this is president james, i am thinking that you and i have not had a change to meet her before and if you have it might have been out in the community. welcome to the commission meeting. and before we go any farther, i know that you have folks that you work with every day who provide incredible support, for you to do the jobs that you are being honored for today, and so could everybody that works with this wonderful group of people, stand up please? all of you. >> all of you [ applause ] now i want the rest of you to look around, because these are the people, these people need people, and the folks that you are talking to whenever you call in, or if you make a referral for someone else and they call in, these are the folks who are the hub, the center point of the department of aging and adult services. so, really, i think that a gift to our community and certainly an important piece of how people get probably the most critical piece of how people find services in this community, and so i am going to go on and on a little bit this morning, because this is my pride and joy. and so, i have to say, there is nothing better than living in a community like san francisco where there is all kinds of services, right? and all kinds of services for people, to use to stay at home. but, there are other side of that is that there is nothing worse if you can't find it. right? and so, it does not do much good if it is all there but you are the daughter, the mother, or the person themselves who is really looking for those services and can't find them, or, they find somebody who kind of knows about services, but they lead them down the path and so they get lost on the wrong path, maybe have someone turn them to the right services at some point. and so that is what these folks do. thanks to jason, ask the supervisors in this unit, and all of the experience and training and gifts that you all bring. folks who come to us who actually have that opportunity to go down the right road. now, the reason that we are honoring this particular group of folks out of our intake and information unit this morning, is that and the commission will appreciate it because we have been talking about this now for quite some time and we have a contract, with the cms, the center for medicare and medicare, and medicare and medicaid and this contract, is to help people leave hospitals and not come back. and the idea is to reverse those lower readmission rates and have people be healthy when they are at home, right? and so they don't have to go back and so that the life goes on for them in a much better way. so, we were one of about 100 sites across the country that cms contracted with and we have partnered with nhphs who also has six other community partners that we work with, and this is a big, big deal, four hospital systems, 7 campuses. and we have the beauty of this program for us, has been and it has been a lot, but the beauty has been that we have had the flexibility to try to do the different things, right? over time and this did not work and we tried something else and this worked and we kept doing it, so this group goes bed side, into the hospitals into those seven hospitals. and they work with that consumer, that patient, one on one, to help them use the tools that we put in place to go home, be successful at home, to the coaches, that are out of the contract, and not go back. and we have had a reduction in those readmissions which we are enormously proud of and so i can't thank you enough and i have to say, this has been, i would say one of the biggest struggles in all of my years that i have been and i am 66, and i have been doing this for 40-plus years and these systems are so big. they are just so big that they are hard to penetrate and just when you have a contract in place and everything is going smoothly, and something has to pop up and we have to have more shots or this background test or have this or that and this team, of their own volition has agreed to do things because they wanted the program to succeed. and so i cannot thank you enough. we are really thanks to you, we believe that we will have at least going into the spring with a new contract with cms and all of the people are being cut off but we are still moving for ward and it really is because of all of this enormously hard work and dedication and you are being willing to go beyond, what is job, really is required, maria you did not hear that. okay. >> and thank you to jason and the team and thank you to all of the folks who work in this unit because the truth is, you all can't do what you do, unless the folks that are here and part of your team, do the pieces that they do as well, and so, thank you, and i think jason... [ applause ] and so i can't say it any better, but i do want to echo, what director said about the staff here, and doing the hospital out reach work, and they are going bed side, and really earning every single one of those referrals, they are not a
not all of those improvements whether their signal consortiums traffic improvements pedestrian safety bulb outs or signage sloan traffic making people more aware and big thrust in education because everybody has to be more aware so i will want to say this we have to move together on this and noted pointing out the fingers it's not just infrastructure or education it's not just one or the other all i have those things have to work in concert with each other and we have to talk what the bicyclists and the car drivers and talk with people that are moving supplies in and out for all of those crosswalks projects and talk with people that walk our streets in multiple different languages we have a lot of visitors from all over the world they're not use to the intense use of our streets as we grow as a city we have to center the conversation with all our partners and kids and look out for each other in addition to louth four users so vision zero is our goal and fraying will help get us there we're not going to wait we're beginning the projects we'll be you announcing them as time goes on as and a we get the projects done and need everybody's help the biggest advocate not only in the neighborhood is our supervisor jane kim she's brown on this (clapping) walking and talking and making sure that we incite the fund for this to happen and i time to say again, thank you supervisor for your leadership and thank you to you all the different allocations public works and the police departments to all of the infrastructure groups and to the advocates you know we don't want to be crying over the next accident but slshlt we saved for lives so each one of the traffic signal are these is important to the community thank you for being here (clapping). >> thank you, mr. mayor this is the kind of leadership we need to make our streets safer i want to thank the mayor for van prop a $500 million in education bonds for $300 million will be invested in advancing vision zero making our streets safer and it's not not only coming from the executive branch but the elective supervisor kim and all the 11 members of the board of supervisors unanimously supported prop a on the ballot and with that kind of unanimous support if city hall that we'll need in order to get even though 2/3rd's vote for the high threshold for the unif i had city hall and community to the chamber of commerce this is an investment that san franciscans will understand and being willing to make but it's not just with the bond as supervisor kim experienced her leadership which winner running for office she made pedestrian safety one of the top issues and this is a top issue her district is the most challenging foyer pedestrian safety and that's why laugh of the folks are here please welcome supervisor kim (clapping.) >> good morning many of us in the community that have been working on this for many, many years this morning is so existing this signal an sixth street is something the community has been fighting for about i was in office and to be here today on a community driven process to see our residents that fought for this is rewarding i want to recognize the south of market action network (clapping) who represents many of our families in the neighborhood the united players and city crossroads that rounding u run our youth programs across the street and walk sf has been a strong partner

significantly street that included edward reiskin and is ta and dpw and we started on significantly and market and walked to ross and to fulsome to talk about the needs that the community needs to make sixth street a safer place for the youth and seniors and mother jones and the collaborative to talk how the intersection was unsafe and we even crossed the crosswalks at significantly to see whether cars would stop for crossing when we walked across the street from that experience the following year the mayor's office actually worked with our office to fund a pilot we knew it would take a look at to get the prong we the first bulb out on significantly and howard number one and 3 on the top collision intersection in the city to shorten the walking distance for our pedestrians before you to remind drivers that those curb outs are an important place of safety for our walkers and finally opened the signal an ross for many families that walk across the street to go to betsy carmichael and now we're here today to open this signal (clapping) is it so exciting that improvements that we've been able to make on the last 4 years to make this neighborhood a safer place for you'll have us and remind the people 3 walk and commute through the districts that seniors and kids live here on isle on fulsome and howard and significantly again, this wouldn't have been possible without our residents that took the leadership to make it a realty want to thank our city agencies for working hard to put this on the ground as quickly as possible tilly chang the prop a dollars that helped to fund this today and, of course, edward reiskin but also with an night the engineer that put this on n place an significantly street the sf pd side commander is here oh, my god oar commander ali and

street corridor it's the most crowded but in the last 9 months i've been seeing it busier and buzzer and the most pleased i was experienced where macy's and the other streets rests i think there were a few cop cars one police van and maybe 8 officers this is probably the most presence i've seen out there ever bar had a line of streets themselves were pretty clear as far as the traffic and the mission seemed was another district that jordan and i patrolled i think based on the fact it is more spread out was like polk i gave you a quick be run down the hotel had a mild event the ballroom straightforward everything else on the allows included in my report if you have questions feel free to ask but jordan will handle the sum from broadway. >> thank you and inspector burke hello commissioners i'll talk about several inspections i did inspections to the marriott and in the w hotel over the halloween weekend and basically, they were will managed and staffed the security no

now we've compiled the data and the effectiveness of having a pco enforcement either the hand signaling what's the next steps for sfmta to make the pilot permanent? or - poor cameron whoever wants to come up i think our residents wants to know this work is great we're excited about the pilot we want to see that permanent and the next steps >> peter albert from the mta i work with aaron there were recommendations that came out of the pilot but i want to go back to the assessment a lot of what liz has shown it is one piece of the puzzle but they all interlock when we look at the recommendation of making it a permanent project how do we take that point and look at the future those waves of development and the abstraction multiple modal incentives i have a lot of confidence if we talked about the 3 workers the transportations demand management is brown where you make headway we work with carlly right now trying to codify regular transportation management measures that help people understand what is laws are and the benefits of using easiest modes and behaving in a civil way i will refer to cameron but i want to make a plug for transportation demand management we reach to the giants and the warriors if they have fans coming into the area that's a great opportunity to pitch education and awareness. >> mr. albert i don't want to take away from the larger network don't block the intersection it is only one thing that's education we i support of the longer study and support the commemorating management pricing and in the downtown area and i'd love to do work with the major employers to pilot that but in the meantime i don't want to have no more work but while we continue to do all the another amazing work to make selma flow better. >> hi again, i want to start with my presentation is additionally provide 6 pcos up to 6 pcos going to first identifying which locates and agreeing to which locations we want to tackle first, i building that education again, the 3 workers we've talked about that i want to start with education some outreach to make sure that everybody understands what the rules are and after that do another assessment with engineering to make sure that we have the proper signage, striping whatever it takes and then bring on the enforcement i'm proposing we do that on december 1st especially okay. we'll start off again with the intersections we've identified and gun to make different sweeps of different intersection whether it's two pcos at an intersection or 3 intersections doing various active enforcement that includes citation issuance yeah. >> supervisor cohen. >> i have a quick question i take a 6 pcos and cover the south of market that leaves a funnel someplace else. >> true we're also struggling to prioritize pcos staff and during those times i've looked at those and done an exhaust look at what i'll be taking away sort of taking it back a step we're actually going through a step from an jill audit for the pco beats and staffing and rather than saying i need more pcos i the want to say i want to utilize them whether street cleaning or driveway claiming and or double parking and and double parking and just to go on that point i actually created a saturation team oh, about 6 months now we've done pretty good in areas but what takes away is something else is a shuttle program i think that we are going to and will continue will have a better assessment of what our resources are our resources needs and how we allocate them among the various details. >> supervisor kim. >> thank you i know this is an impression that many residents have but it seems like sfmta doesn't have trouble citing parking tickets in the city and it's hard for a lot of the residents to accept the fact this is a real capacity issue investigating the pcos giving out ticket in the south of market area we immediately get a parking tickets the moments our meters go out but have the responsiveness around the issue and pcos will be more importantly giving out those tickets that being said i want to see that december is not too late how to do more education and . >> signage of stickers or subsidy enforcement changed a lot of enforcement we often don't do things in a orderly fashion. >> i have one more question and then one last question for mta you had mentioned that the counterpart stilt u shuttle took away the - the one there's per stop was going to fulfill cover the costs so we shouldn't be using the pcos it should be funded on its own. >> i did not let me correct that we're not pulling those people away it is fully funded through the process it takes a lot of time to do any of those types it changes what we do and adds for resources 0 or to a daily we explicit anticipate so to shift the existing one we did the 10 pcos to do the detail they're only doing that daily the a.m. and p.m. peak so it splits their time and only to fill in the afternoon it is on this that filling in the afternoon that leaves a gap we have to fill if everything was equal across the board you, you know meter time it would be easier to move people around but when we start splitting things up it adds holes in our ability to manager the people that's all i meant to say. >> i have one final question not sure to you cameron or another member of sfmta i have been talking to edward reiskin to augment the work that the pcos do for tickets for people that run red lights it makes sense that the same cameras can catch people that are 0 blocking boxes stuck in the intersection be able to photograph their license plate and send them a tinting to augment the limited human resources we have in the agencies i know we made a request to attorney general go harris i was wondering where we're at i know when we hope to get a message back but where we're at i will give you the best an answer eave not been involved in the work kate has been watching over that all we know at this point, we're waiting for a decision from the attorney general and if the decision comes in favor of the inform being able to allow don't block the box enforcement or red light enforcement we'll get the red light cameras but if it is not in favor we'll have to initiate another process i don't know what that is. >> i appreciate the answer i appreciate we're successful i believe that supervisor wiener worked on this prohibiting the right turn on octavia we were able to get emily harris to look at that i encourage you to write her office to make sure we get it competed. >> that will help us too. >> thank you. >> great supervisor kim and thank you for calling for this hearing i'm really glad to hear a pro-active approach moving forward and i'll say that in terms of double parking and the saturation we'll be recohen that hearing early in the next year so we will compare assaults from what we received a year ago for the progress so i'll await that data and also want to reiterate what supervisor kim said about comparing to damn having going through it as we did for many different areas housing and traffic and other areas we thought it can't possibly get worse like in 1999, or 2000 in terms of evicts and pedestrian and low and behold this is not like a pet stop doouchl whatever happens are the the ups and downs economy we're on a different trajectory in san francisco as are a lot of cities in terms of everyone understanding the city is an amazing place in san francisco first and foremost so we're going to continue to grow by another one hundred and 50 thousand people between now and 200 and 40 and now is the time whether improving muni or getting our heads around this kind of improvement for traffic management we need to be making those decisions and implementing those fixed now and the gridlock we see south of market and south of market is definitely the most extreme in so many ways i look forward to try to slow down the traffic it is going to spread in supervisor cohen's district tens of thousands of units coming online like 07 thousand more units and stuff happening south of market and in the planning commission mission we're growing in the transportation system all the kinds of enforcement techniques have to do that this is a can do type of city if no additional comments. >> i forgot to thank our residents with our city agrees and sfmta and ta for your work i look forward to marking this a permanent program and thank you to the gentleman in sacramento who wrote a letter to our deputy attorney general to make it quickly to allowing san francisco to not block the box we'll share the lowers so thank you committee and thank you to everyone that's been involved. >> thank you, supervisor kim would you like to file this hearing or continue it to the to the call of the chair. >> supervisor kim has made a motions to file item number 2 madam clerk, any other business before this committee? >> there's no further business. >> then we're adjourned . >> good morning, everyone much better i'm edward reiskin the transportation director in san francisco great to see so many people out here for an important reason thank you, mayor ed lee and supervisor kim on their steadfast and consistent leadership in working with all of us to make our city safer the reason its important we're proud of our city we have a problem here the problem too many people getting seriously injured or killed trying to make their way around the city that shouldn't be for that reason as a city we've adapted the goal of vision zero to eliminate traffic fatalities in san francisco in the next 10 years good news if you call it that we've been working with the police department and the department of public health and many on the county which transportation authority to analyze the information associated with each one of the tragedies we've told have a good since of where they're happening and why and what interventions we can make to significantly reduce the likelihood of them happening with people getting seriously injured or killed the traffic signal are one intervention and many others all over the city in order to do that we'll need public support and leadership without further ado we have an rations finding lard i'm proud so ask you to join me in welcoming the mayor of the city of san francisco mayor ed lee. >> thank you, ed good morning, everyone. welcome to the post world series of the giants in san francisco i know this community is slbl but ed is right we've got serious business to construction this particular street on significance and menu to say 24 projects we've identified we're going to get to vision zero this is the night of the 24 projects we're dedicated since april wife identified those vision zero projects they're serious effort here with the translate today to quell the number number of injuries and death navigate this intersection that supervisor jane kim help we've got counsel a number of the injuries in the city those one has 50 accidents here resulting in two fatalities so i'm so glad to see residents here and community-based organizations whether it's united players or the so cam are the residents like ms. jones to join the city agency and the opportunity transportation authority and mta and the mayor's office our vision zero director and the supervisor staff agencies like walk sf and others we really have to come together literally on everyone every one of the intersection if we don't do something different more accidents will occur if anything we have to slow down traffic and make all people from all sides aware whether in their walkers or bicyclists or industrial folks everybody that is using our street have to be that much more aware and watch out for each other i myself these device when crossing the street i don't cross because i've got the green light i try to make eye contract and look both ways especially, when you've got families members that are looking at the wonderful sites in our city we've golden got to be careful with our growing population if the city we've got to do more we're absolutely going to do more we're building the basis with our mta and hopefully tomorrow our public will bless us with a strong vote of prop a that will allow us to do that much more (clapping.) $500 million the bulk of which goes to vision zero and pedestrian safety projects just like this one we need more things to slow down traffic we need better signage and education we need enforcement i wanted to thank our police department that's here a good number they're walking the beats and louth for the siefrt issues 4r0ug9 for people that may not be uss the street properly we have to use our streets smarter n this is why it's important to place that vision zero and there are month activities in our streets we're encouraging walking in the streets when i get through with this job i'm going to walk more and i want to feel safer and join with all the people that want to join me in walking the streets to be safer we won't ghetto there without vision zero by january 2016 all 24 projects that ben is in favor which to cooperate throughout the city have to be done and spend down this $300 million of the $500 million that will not raise property tax in the city and spend that down because we not all of those improvements whether their signal consortiums traffic improvements pedestrian safety bulb outs or signage sloan traffic making people more aware and big thrust in education because everybody has to be more aware so i will want to say this we have to move together on this and noted pointing out the fingers it's not just infrastructure or education it's not just one or the other all i have those things have to work in concert with each other and we have to talk what the bicyclists and the car drivers and talk with people that are moving supplies in and out for all of those crosswalks projects and talk with people that walk our streets in multiple different languages we have a lot of visitors from all over the world they're not use to the intense use of our streets as we grow as a city we have to center the conversation with all our partners and kids and look out for each other in addition to louth four users so vision zero is our goal and fraying will help get us there we're not going to wait we're beginning the projects we'll be you announcing them as time goes on as and a we get the projects done and need everybody's help the biggest advocate not only in the neighborhood is our supervisor jane kim she's brown on this (clapping) walking and talking and making sure that we incite the fund for this to happen and i time to say again, thank you supervisor for your leadership and thank you to you all the different allocations public works and the police departments to all of the infrastructure groups and to the advocates you know we don't want to be crying over the next accident but slshlt we saved for lives so each one of the traffic signal are these is important to the community thank you for being here (clapping). >> thank you, mr. mayor this is the kind of leadership we need to make our streets safer i want to thank the mayor for van prop a $500 million in education bonds for $300 million will be invested in advancing vision zero making our streets safer and it's not not only coming from the executive branch but the elective supervisor kim and all the 11 members of the board of supervisors unanimously supported prop a on the ballot and with that kind of unanimous support if city hall that we'll need in order to get even though 2/3rd's vote for the high threshold for the unif i had city hall and community to the chamber of commerce this is an investment that san franciscans will understand and being willing to make but it's not just with the bond as supervisor kim experienced her leadership which winner running for office she made pedestrian safety one of the top issues and this is a top issue her district is the most challenging foyer pedestrian safety and that's why laugh of the folks are here please welcome supervisor kim (clapping.) >> good morning many of us in the community that have been working on this for many, many years this morning is so existing this signal an sixth street is something the community has been fighting for about i was in office and to be here today on a community driven process to see our residents that fought for this is rewarding i want to recognize the south of market action network (clapping) who represents many of our families in the neighborhood the united players and city crossroads that rounding u run our youth programs across the street and walk sf has been a strong partner in making sure we advocate for this and, of course, any entire office is here ivy and sunny it took a lot of folks to make this a realty 4 years ago our residents actually organized a walk on significantly street that included edward reiskin and is ta and dpw and we started on significantly and market and walked to ross and to fulsome to talk about the needs that the community needs to make sixth street a safer place for the youth and seniors and mother jones and the collaborative to talk how the intersection was unsafe and we even crossed the crosswalks at significantly to see whether cars would stop for crossing when we walked across the street from that experience the following year the mayor's office actually worked with our office to fund a pilot we knew it would take a look at to get the prong we the first bulb out on significantly and howard number one and 3 on the top collision intersection in the city to shorten the walking distance for our pedestrians before you to remind drivers that those curb outs are an important place of safety for our walkers and finally opened the signal an ross for many families that walk across the street to go to betsy carmichael and now we're here today to open this signal (clapping) is it so exciting that improvements that we've been able to make on the last 4 years to make this neighborhood a safer place for you'll have us and remind the people 3 walk and commute through the districts that seniors and kids live here on isle on fulsome and howard and significantly again, this wouldn't have been possible without our residents that took the leadership to make it a realty want to thank our city agencies for working hard to put this on the ground as quickly as possible tilly chang the prop a dollars that helped to fund this today and, of course, edward reiskin but also with an night the engineer that put this on n place an significantly street the sf pd side commander is here oh, my god oar commander ali and commander and i will i is the traffic commander to make sure you're increasing the enforcement in the tenderloin
