Were not fully participating in the process, which means that we need people who really meant what they want to do to be in that committee. The civil grand jury members are volunteering 500 hours per year. Nonpaid. You, the board of supervisors in here are paid. Please, take some time to read the recommendation, work with Department Heads to do the work. Started from the effectiveness from the information, website, safety working with the police and the San Francisco m. T. A. We talk about recommendation, and we also know that there is no accountability. Whether people do it or not the civic grand jury members the former or current one will not be able to come in after you or the board of supervisors and Department Heads to implement what we recommend. So we are asking you since you are paid and elected and you wanted to do the best to prevent death and safety for people in San Francisco, i urge you to follow the recommendation and findings. Thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello. Thank you very much for having me, supervisors. I am the vice chair of the Pedestrian SafetyAdvisory Committee. I think that this body is wonderful. I am happy you wrote a report. I am happy you got it out. We just passed the 2018 report last week on the committee, and i hope that you will accept most of the recommendations, just that last one is not really a very good one. I cant speak to reports prior to 2018, but i can say that in 2018 it was a rebuilding year for the committee, adding and replacing memberships with passionate pedestrians embedded in their communities. This year we are trying to streamline the process of apappointments through connections with the board of supervisors. There have been 22 fatalities from collisions this year. Let that sink in. 14 were pedestrians according to the last traffic report. This is higher than any number in recent memory. I want to point out we are volunteer. It is completely volunteer. We have one person who is from the m. T. A. I hope that this information if you want to speak to Committee Members contact myself or the manager and you have my contact information. Thank you. Thank you. Anyone else to speak on this item . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Once again, thank you to the civil grand jury members to focus on such an important issue. As stated a number of times, Pedestrian Safety and stronger regulation of sort of new Mobility Options that are emerging here in our city are issues that are of high priority to the board, the m. T. A. , the mayor and our entire city government. This is such an important issue and also a very timely that the report came out highlighting this issue, given the surge in tragic fatalities on our streets this year, and that we are all grappling with and the fact that we are m. T. A. Is preparing to greatly expand the Pilot Program for escooters and it is going to expand to other neighborhoods that it hadnt been present in, including the sun set district. I am in full agreement with your findings and recommendations and the urgency for us to address these issues. Supervisor brown. Commissioner brown thank you. I want to thank you on this because it is something we need to focus on. District 5 alone i have had five pedestrian deaths. I dont remember it ever that high. With all of the cars on the road that we have, the ride shares, you know, it just seems that people are agitated when they drive, and we have seen a lot of that when people make left hand turns. They are trying to get through fourlane highways, they are trying to get through the two lanes of traffic coming at them, and a lot of times they are not focusing on the pedestrians walking on the other side of the street. We need to address a lot of these things. One thing i want to clarify, though, president yee had introduced an ordinance to extend the Pedestrian Safety committee for a year and a lot of us signed to that. Sf walk is committed t to workig with us over the course of the next year to determine the best path forward because i feel it is so important to have that kind of input moving forward, especially with vision zero, what we are doing. We need community input. When we go out to these communities and i see this in my district and we look at taking Parking Spaces away for daylighting. A lot of times we have push back. We need to educate the community why we are doing this. When you talk about taking a parking space away at an intersection and explain because actually spending 200,000 for a bulb out is so important, i think they start to understand. I feel like with that Community Engagement and having the public Pedestrian Safety committee there to help us with that kind of language and outreach and engagement and how we should be doing it is really important. I want to thank everyone for participating. This is alive and death situation. Chair mar thank you, supervisor brown. In terms of action on this, we have a resolution with the board responses. There was just one finding and one recommendation in the civil grand jury report that the board is required to respond to. I shared draft language for the resolution for the response with supervisor brown, i want to read it for the record. First regarding finding number 7, that the board of supervisors reports to the pr presiding jude that they disagree with finding 7. Annual reports were prepared by the Pedestrian Safety and Advisory Committee for 2012, 13, 2014 and 2018 as the vice chair reported. Regarding recommendation number two, the language is in the draft. That the board of supervisors reports recommendation r2 will not be implemented because the recommendation is unreasonable in light of the Pedestrian SafetyCommittee Progress over the last year in addressing quorum issues, state of emergency for Pedestrian SafetyAdvisory Committee and they are the seoul advice the sole Advisory Committee on in. They will extend for an additional year during which time the committee is advised to review and remember changes to improve the efficiency Going Forward. I would like to move that we adopt the amendment. We recommend the resolution to the full board and file this hearing. Can we tap that without objection . Thank you. Thanks again everyone for all of your work on this report and this issue. Mr. Clerk, please call item number 8 to 22 foreclosed session. Clerk agenda items 8 through 22 are authorizing settlements of lawsuits against the city of San Francisco, lawsuits and claims, excuse me. Chair mar for the closed session are there any members of the public who wish to testify on items 8 to 22 . Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Do we have a motion to convene in closed session . Thank you. We are now in we are now back in open session for government audit and oversight. The committee acted to recommend agenda items 8 through 22 to the board of supervisors with consideration with provision 9 and 10 will be Committee Reports on september 24th. Do i have a motion not to disclose proceedings from the closed session . So moved. Any further business . From is no further business. We are adjourned. My name is kamal lane, and ive lived in San Francisco for 30 lets say 31 years. I lived there a year february 29, 2017, my grandmas birthday. The thing thats cured my home is the Mayors Office. When my number was called, i was excited because my number was number three. To rent a home in San Francisco means that im able to be with my family to support me, me to support them. Then, the opportunity for my daughter to get a good paying job. My favorite thing of my new home in hunters view is the view of the bay bridge, oakland, and a piece of the golden gate. Its peaceful and quiet, and they have a lot of activities for families. They have art class, where you can paint, they have trips, where they take the children. We went to a black art museum, we went to a jazz festival, we went ice skating. Theres a lot they have a lot of activities up here, and thats one thing that i really love about it, i love my bedroom. Its peaceful, its quiet, where i can think, play, and just have my quiet time. I love my bedroom. This is my home because this is where i live. Me and my children, we love in here, we just being with my grand kids and loving somewhere and having somewhere is home. We love being together, and your heart wherever your heart is, that makes it home for you. Well, well, we have one of the most exciting projects in district 11 in over a decade. Supervisor safai, for the past 10 years, no one has been able to get a Housing Project of this significance built in this community, and guess what . You made it happen. [applause. ] 116 new units, 50 affordable units for family of four making up to 123,000 a year. How incredible is that . This will provide housing for low income families and for foster care youth. I mean, this is how you get housing done in San Francisco, working together, working in partnership with sammy and people who love. The fact is people who love this community and didnt have to go above and beyond in providing higher affordability on this project but wanted to do something to support the city and county of San Francisco and what we are dealing with as it relates to our housing crisis. We are grateful for you and the community is here, and i also know your family is here. I am so excited. This will make a difference. On top of that, that is not even all. 40 of the units that are built of the Affordability Housing will go to the people who live in this neighborhood first, neighborhood preference. The legislation that i worked on back in the day when i was on the board of supervisors. It is going to be used on this project so that we can make sure that the community who lives here, where they might be struggling to hold on to their unit and whatever capacity, they will have a real shot of being a part of this incredible new community. I am excited about this project. I am grateful to supervisor safai for his leadership. I cant wait to be here when we open the doors for people to walk in their new places, and it is absolutely amazing. The person who led this effort to make this happen, who also did more than just help get this project through the process but also makes some zoning changes to make it possible to have as many units as we can on his site no other than supervisor safai. [applause. ] supervisor safai thank you, mayor breed. I feel like i am at a family reunion, but i did joke with sia and sammy i think we could put a runway strip here. This is the Largest Development in the history of this neighborhood in this community. There has never been any family Affordable Housing built in this community. I remember sitting with them a decade ago when they laid out the vision of wanting to do something to give back to the city that they feel made their family anal and lifted them back up after going through a revolution in their country they. They came here with very little and they have worked 50 years to build what we are seeing happen today. This is truly a gift to the city and county of San Francisco. This is not something that is required. This is completely private land, privately financed by a family that wanted to give back to the city. I want to say thank you to the family for everything and you will their children and siblings and relatives for everything they did to make this happen. It is truly a gift. This even out paces the giants Ballpark Development omission rock, which is 40 affordable on public land. 50 will below market rate. Homesf set the income. He said he wanted lower than what we laid out in the city. We tried to do the remaining 50 as rent control. Sometimes the city gets in its way. I know they will continue to keep these rents affordable for this community. They are doing so much to give back to the city and county. We talked about this over a decade ago. We sat down with mayor lee before i became supervisor. He said he would prioritize this. The reason i bring that up is because this mayor has made not anything more of a priority than building housing. That was when we sat down with mayor lee, that was in the middle of 2016. We are going to the end of 2019. Even with everything that and i would get monday my phone would ring. Every monday i would get the call from him and family members. We are still over three years into getting this project done. This was supposed to be one of the highest priority projects in the city and county of San Francisco. I know this mayor is dedicated to finding a way to cut through the layers. When a family wants to give a gift to the city, we have to wait almost three and a half years to get this done. Besides all of that, i want to shout out to crazio. She guided this every step of the way on behalf of the Mayors Office. My team was guiding this every step of the way. The planning department, the Mayors Office of housing, city attorneys, all of the people working on behalf of the mayor. There is more to come, there are two more projects that are 100 affordable. She dedicated an additional 53 million in the budget. We break ground in october next year on two more projects. Out of all of those together, almost 600 units, 65 will be affordable below market rate units in this community and affordable to the People Living here. That is a big accomplishment. I am so lucky to have a partner in the Mayors Office who prioritizes this Community Like no mayor has done in over 20 plus years. [applause. ] i could go on and on. I will hand it over to the patriarch of the family, the mind that doesnt let any little thing get away from him, but he has to be that way. Three and a half years, he has to be that way. Someone was bragging about him the other day. He knows how to get projects built in San Francisco. He really does. I am honored to have him as a friend and invest in this community. [applause. ] thanks everyone. Mayor, my good friend, supervisor and my family and everybody who is here. This wouldnt have happened without participation of everyone for this to happen. He is right i call every monday morning. If i wouldnt have done it, it would have taken seven years. This happened in three andahalf years. I want to tell a story about my life, how i am here. I came with my wonderful life about 40 years as an immigrant from iran. I have been here 1973 i came here to San Francisco. I was a student and i fell in love with the city. I still love this city. I always said we have got to do something. Whatever i have, i got it through hard work. Being in this wonderful diversified city. We talked a lot about it. This came about in 2007 when there was a melt down and i was able to purchase these. That is when me and sammy, she is an advocat of foster and homeless kids. This came about. I said maybe we can do something about it. Finally here we are. Thernext step is the foundationd get the super structure. I want to thank the wonderful mayor. I am so proud of you. You are a wonderful mayor. You are a great person. I want to tell my brotherinlaw who designed this property, my kids and this is all my family. I love them all. It is great to be here. Too many persons. laughter . It is a great thing. I am so blessed. I asked my wife to be by my side. If i make a mistake she will say stage right. I think i have done go, right . She gave me a list and said memorize this. I said i will do this. That is not me, i have to talk how i feel. That is how i do it, you know. [applause. ] i want to thank the Mayors Office of housing. Wonderful job. I forgot about my wonderful friend tom. He is a big support. Thanks a lot. [ ] homelessness in San Francisco is considered the number 1 issue by most people who live here, and it doesnt just affect Neighbors Without a home, it affects all of us. Is real way to combat that is to Work Together. It will take city departments and nonprofit providers and volunteers and companies and Community Members all coming together. [ ] the product homeless connect Community Day of Service Began about 15 years ago, and we have had 73 of them.
