Yes. And in terms of looking at rehearing and jurisdiction requests, rehearing requests, nine were denied, two withdrawn. Jurisdiction requests, one was denied, one granted and three withdrawn. The numbers over the years have gone down a built by it in terms of volume and jurisdiction requests. Looking on page 23, geographic distribution, not much changed there over the years. You can see in red, those are all the address points of the permits that were issued to properties at those addresses. So its the northeast quadrant. I just want to touch quickly on 24 on the appeals Management System. Its been really great. Its a significant improvement. Its unbelievable. I feel like we are in the 21st century compared to what we had before. And i think its really incredible in terms of reporting capabilities. Our old system, we had to export everything from our system through access and then cobble the numbers in compel. There was a lot of room for error so this is going to be more accurate data. We saw a number of very large sunshine requests, like even for this recent case, they wanted to know all the d. B. I. Revocations so ms. Sullivan did an excellent job going through everything. But our new system really helped us go back and see which departments we can easily run a number of different types of reports, anything, really, with sales force, you just add different parameters. So it also helped us with the sunshine request for the wireless cases, the civil grand jury asked for all our wireless cases. And no problem, we could whip that out very quickly. And so thats great. What im very happy about, the new system is that it creates agendas. So our old systems did not have the capability. So it was actually manually, every time a case was rescheduled, someone had a cut and paste from one word document and put it on another and that was gather, and he was absolutely fantastic. And when he left i was saying how did he do this . Because i was doing it and making mistakes. But the new system, unless you dont enter in the system, this wouldnt happen. Its just great. So it keeps track of all the cases. The system does that. Well have the ability in the future to we are going to be able to integrate with the treasure collector which is another great feature so we can take payments online and at the kiosk at the new permit center. So we wont even have to handle money anymore, which is great. So i feel like we are a built oldfashioned now. We only take cash or check and one of my Staff Members walks up to city hall once a week to make that deposit. So this system will really help us. I think once we move, we are going to have that capability in place. Just moving forward and moving along to the budget, page 27, of course ill do a thorough budget presentation in february. But this is looking back. And we had a pretty good year. I think we were worried. Our projected revenue our actual revenue was below our projected revenue. But our expenditures were less than our projected expenditures. But if you turn on page the next page, 29, it gives a breakdown of where our money goes. But we did use money from the reserve account if you look at the table at the bottom. Because we did make one payment on our new appeals Management System of 38,000. Obviously it costs more than that. We made subsequence payments and those will be reflected in fiscal year, the next fiscal year. But our reserves will be adjusted based on our revenue surplus or deficit. So there will be an accounting toward the end of this year. And then on page 30, after extensive analysis by the Controllers Office, they only suggested that we increase the surcharge by 50 cents for planning and d. B. I. This is for fiscal year 20. For d. P. H. To 4450. And just as a recap, most of our income comes from surcharges, about 95 percent. Every year the controller does a calculation, should we raise or lower them, and we did have a significant reserve account so the whole purpose of the fee is to be Cost Recovery for the boards expenses so since we had a large reserve, the thinking was we need to reduce it because we are overcharging the public if we have such a large reserve. So that will go down. I mean, we took money out of our reserve this well, last fiscal year to cover shortfall. And then just 58,000 this year. And we have the other payments for the appeals Management System. But i made this comment last year. I think the year before. I disagree with living on reserves. And with the reduction, its simply the reduction in fees related to telephone, you know, the telephone installation appeals that we wont get this year is going to have a financial impact. And i think that well, okay. Go ahead. Yeah. So and also if there is a building slowdown because there is a projected this boom has to stop sooner or later, and it seems it may be on the horizon, although people have been saying that for five years. I think we should be very cautious about continuing the practice of eating away our reserves. Because ultimately, we are going to have to raise our fees astronomically, and people are going to say you just raised your fees 15 percent because we had to when we should have been gradually raising them. I anticipate that day when its a paradigm shift. I completely agree with you. I argued long and hard with the Controllers Office. I had the manager involved with our analyst and this is the end result. And they werent changing it. The good news is it hasnt been reduced that much. Its been reduced some. But yeah, i agree with you. Im more in line with your thinking. But ultimately, at the end of the day, i cant make that call. The Controllers Office does. I have to make the same, because i got to go on the record. I hope that you bring my comments to the controller and to the people who are giving you that feedback that we are spending on borrowed continuing to borrow money, really, thats what you do when you are eating into reserves and ultimately we are going to run out if we continue to do that. And murphys law, perfect storm, thats when the bottom falls out and we go into deficit. And i think its a very, very illadvised practice. And 50 cents cents isnt going to break anybody, one dollar, two dollars, three dollars, it was 10, 15, 20, it would be a different story. But we are not a little bit more is fully appropriate. Especially with the increases in Construction Costs and the overall project costs that we are all planning on. So thats it. I dont want to stay too late. Thank you. So at the end is the litigation report. We do have new lawsuits filed against the city. So you are familiar with those cases. And we have other pending decisions. But let me know if you have any questions about the report. We do need to vote on whether to adopt or approve it. And i forget, because i read it and wasnt looking at me did you put in the document that we made a special request to the board of supervisors . Yes, i did. Its in there . Its in there, yes. I just wanted to say thank you so much to you and the staff for preparing it and all the work you did. Thank you its a nice variation. Thank you. Move to adopt the annual report. Okay. Is there any Public Comment . [laughter] all is right in the world, right . Okay. So we have a motion from Vice President lazarus to adopt this annual report with the correction of the typo that was identified. [laughter] on that motion, [roll call] good job, and we are adjourned. Thank you. The motion carryies. Good job, everybody. Still a lot of people wonder since the trees have a lot of issues, why did we plant them in the first place . Trees are widely planted in San Francisco. With good reason. They are workhorses when it comes to urban forestry. We have begun to see our ficustrees are too big and dangerous in San Francisco. We have a lot of tree failures with this species in particular. This is a perfect example of the challenges with the structure of the ficustrees. You can see four very large stems that are all coming from the same main truck. You can see the two branches attached to one another at a really sharp angle. In between you cant it is a lot of strong wood. They are attached so sharply together. This is a much weaker union of a branch than if you had a wide angel. This is what it looks like after the fi c. U. Resolution s limb. We see decline. You can see the patches where there arent any leaves at all. That is a sign the tree is in decline. The other big challenge is the root system of the tree are aggressive and can impact nearby utilities, and we can fix the sidewalk around the tree in many cases. We dont want to cuts the roots too severely because we can destabilize the tree. In a city like San Francisco our walks are not that wide. We have had to clear the branches away from the properties. Most of th the can canopy is one street side and that is heavyweight on those branches out over the street. That can be a factor in tree limb failures. A lot of people wonder since these trees have a lot of issues. Why did we plant them in the first place . They provided the city with benefits for decades. They are big and provide storage for carbon which is important to fight Climate Change and they provide shade and really i think many people think they are a beautiful asset. When we identify trees like this for removal and people protest our decision, we really understand where they are coming from. I got into this job because i love trees. It just breaks my heart to cut down trees, particularly if they are healthy and the issue is a structural flaw. I have also seen first hand what happens when we have failures. We have had a couple of injuries due to tree failures. That is something we cant live with either. It is a challenging situation. We hate to lose mature trees, but Public Safety has to always i want to welcome everybody. This is the ninth year of the gun buybacks. This year the gun buy back the nation wide. We are going to have it not here in San Francisco, it is going to be in vale vallejo, baltimore, boston, so the momentum of the gun buyback is picking up. Our whole mission is to end senseless gun violence. I am not against the Second Amendment but i am a survival of gun violence, and i am highly against gun violence. That is why we are here standing in solidarity today. There are so many partners today that made this happen. This is just not one person or one organization. I want to thank our mayor of San Francisco, our leader for being a leader in the issue of gun violence. Give her a hand and welcome. Mattie scott, the mothers, Brady Campaign, all of the mothers who are part of this endeavor to end gun violence. Give it up for the mothers. [applause] i would be wrong if i didnt acknowledge jason and all of the gentlemen who came home after doing a life sentence in prison behind violence who are here to end senseless violence. Give them brothers a hand. [applause] i definitely have got to give a shout out to the sfpd who are partners of ours to end this gun violence. It is controversy with the community and cops. We are standing here in solidarity. Thank you guys for showing up, sfpd. [applause] all our Community Partners based in this together and or sponsors. Dispensary stores, barberry coast, green door, elevated, the shrine who helps us out. There are so many dispensary that help make this happen. My man, adam. He is a business onener, thank you, adam for providing the resource and support to the community and developers. We are all in this together. I want to say thank you. I want to bring up our amazing mayor who is a great leader, not just in our city but in the region. Give i you will for mayor give it up for mayor london breed. Mayor breed it is always good to come to united players and see so many amazing people. A lot of my friends and folks i have known for so many years. It is great to see everyone here. I wish we didnt have to be here for this reason. So many of us impacted by gun violence for so many years. The reason why i got involved in Public Service had everything to do with the people that i lost over the years to gun violence. You know, i lie look around ande posters, there are a lot more than what you see here, they are of people that i know. Young men who were gone way before their time. I think about over 1,000 guns united players collected and got off the streets and how in my mind that is thousands of people that are still alive because those guns arent on the streets. I think about the mothers that are here today and knowing your son was shot and the amazing work he did, and george, who i grew up with, a little older than me but a good dude who looked out for people in the community. I think about so many people, mostly a lot of africanamerican men who had lives taken away much too soon. I know that we are better than this. I know that when we come together we can help create change. I know that steam it seems hard. It seems hard because two days ago we had a shooting in the bayviewhunters point community. It seems hard because, you know, really sometimes it feels like the only time we in our communities get together is for the funerals of some of our young people who get taken because of gun violence. I want us to be reminded of this because it is so important to understand why we are here. We are here because we have lost so much over the years, and we dont want to lose anyone any more. That is why we are here. We are here to make a plea to people all over the bay area who have guns in their possession. Here is an opportunity on saturday, december 14th, no questions asked, to turnin your guns, to get those guns out of your possession, to make sure that a child doesnt get ahold of that gun and accidentally shoot themselves or another child, to make sure that those guns arent used to harm anyone else. You know, when i come to this press conference every single year, and i have been coming for years. When i participate in these activities, you know, for some reason my heart always feels heavy. It always feels heavy because, you know, i keep thinking about the people that arent here because of gun violence, senseless gun violence, that have taken the lives of so many people. Here is an opportunity for us working together to make sure that it is not one more, to make sure that we change the future of our city so that kids who grew up in th the middle of the violence and they dont know why. We want to make sure that is not normal. We create a new normal of people that are coming together to Work Together to create safe communities. We deserve safe communities. These mothers dont deserve to have lost their children before their time. The folks here are united players and rudy working every day to change the conditions of our communities, they do this because they understand the hurt and the devastating impacts of what violence does to communities. I want to thank our elected officials who are here today that i have worked with over the years in city government. I truly appreciate Assembly Member david chew and senator scott weiner for being here and supporting the effort we continue to push for to address gun violence, not only in our city but in our state. I appreciate supervisor haney who this district encompasses, someone who will carry on the legacy what we need to do to support not only this district but citywide to end gun violence. That shooting may have happened in bayviewhunters point community, but it still has a Significant Impact o on everyone in the city. Every time someone is struck down because of a gun it has an impact on everyone in this city. I want to thank deputy chief greg who i worked hand in hand within the Western Addition community for years when he was our captain. We were at the height of some of the violence occurring in the Western Addition. The way we dealt with that, partnership with the Police Department, working together to provide opportunities and programming and to deal with the need to make sure that we are addressing this issue head on. We got a lot of work to do, folks. With all of these incredible people today and our sponsors. I see jessie in the back hiding with bar bury coast, someone who grew up in the community and has given back and invested in the community. With all of us supporting one another, prayer together and really doing what is necessary, i know that we will get to a better place where no other mother or father or brother or sister has to stand here and be concerned about the impacts of gun violence on their family members and communities. We have an Incredible Opportunity to change San Francisco. We have an Incredible Opportunity because we have an incredible leader in rudy committed to the work and consistent in his advocacy to make sure we confront this issue head on. Not one more today or ever. Come out and bring your guns. Know questions asked. No questions asked. We are going to be here from 8 00 a. M. To 12 00 noon what is the address . 1038 howard street. I want the media, the tweeters and the people who do social media, get the word out because this is a real opportunity. Whoever has a gun in your possession, this is your opportunity to get rid of it and to do something to help make sure that the gun you possess doesnt create a devastating situation in anybodys life. That is why we are all here. Come out on saturday. Thank you all so much for your work and advocacy and all that you do to help support our communities and families. We aint going nowhere. Every single time we need to be there, we are going to be there.
