Than this, we are not just ending suspensions we are asking you as teachers to help us. Good evening, my rose willis and i am a parent and a community, and i am also a member of the San Francisco, Alumni Chapter which is really taken on the task of making sure that our children are treated equally, and so, and i am happy to hear that it is done and i am skeptical but i am going to be positive but what i would like to ask and if this is passed is that we need to hold this School District accounta...

Future and with respect to local laws and local interests so definitely in support of home sharing would appreciate some fair legislation to make it legitimate and representative of all the interests in the city. Thank you. Good afternoon. My name is david gruber im president of the coalition for better housing i appreciate the effort gone into the legislation today. Id like to comment on my own i feel the Economic Growth of San Francisco is going to continue. What weve seen now is part of a gro...

You know, the right message that we all wanted to send. To me, it is all about messaging. And i know businesses need help from government as well. Ive been in those discussions where a lot of them said, hey, youre taxing us to death. We did a big payroll tax revision as a result of that. There is just simply i think a relationship where theres no quid pro quo, we do it for good policy reasons that we articulate and are clear about. And thats the way we should be running government. Thats also th...

And i like what mark said. Not only are there no strings attached. Really the benefits are targeted at our residents and our visitors, but that the only thing were going to see is wireless connected to our fiber. Were learning that.

Innovation, to education, and includetionthv i. For all San Francisco residents, but its also as i mentioned before a significant step towards bridging our Digital Divide in our city. It provides local groups and Community Residents access to the internet they might not have had before, as well for our rec and Park Department as phil knows all too well many rec centers still use dial up service. When we think about registering our children for camps and play grounds, what we need to do in our da...

More than we think we can. In order to bring benefits, bring equity, bridge not only the Digital Divide, but perhaps bring the whole innovative spirit to every community in San Francisco. This is what i think this wifi effort of our 31 parks is saying. And the nice thing about it is that when you study what were going to do here and accomplish with the 31 parks, and that we along with our Technology Partners, our communications partners, our department leaders, new ones as well as old ones, are ...

And thats the way we should be running government. Thats also the way we should have that clean relationship with businesses. Mayor, [speaker not understood]. Yeah, i mean thats why we hired mark tuitu for [speaker not understood]. My competitive spirit with mayor bloomberg in new york, rahm emanuel in chicago, were always exchanging information about you got this, you got that. Our staffs and our Department Heads do the same. , and so, were always saying, they did this. How come we cant do that...

Strings attached. The money will come through sf city which will manage the installation of the wifi network from beginning to end, and our department of technology will accept that gift on behalf of the city and county of San Francisco. And ultimately rec and park will be the host of the wifi network on their properties. And at the end of the day, its going to be all San Francisco residents who benefit from this. After going through all the necessary steps in city hall, the timing right now is ...

Farrell, for saving me time and accelerating the effort because with thanks to the leadership of the past few years and the generosity of google, i think we have we can jump start this whole process and deliver results fast in ways that will hopefully make you forget the past. I also want to acknowledge a couple of the [speaker not understood]. Mike mccarthy and joseph john.
