That were doing something about homelessness if its not going to something about homelessness in a visible way, that People Living on the streets feel the impact. That is ultimately what were talking about, more than real people, including many children live in our streets and in unstable housing and cars and tents and the city must absolutely do something about it. I would love to hear more solutions. I think we have done a tremendous amount and we should acknowledge the accomplishments that the city has already made in housing the 10,000 people that we have housed since 2004 and to identify and say this is what we really need to house the next 10,000, these are the resources to make it happen and bring the next Navigation Center online, the first solution that is actually making a difference on our streets. I think that as this moves through the Budget Committee process of which several of us sit on, well certainly have that opportunity. I do think more dollars are needed, but i think we need to be able to accurately account for how the current dollars are being spent and why . I do want to thank all the members of the public who came to speak. This is an incredibly important issue and frustrating issue. So i want to thank everyone who is a part and wants to be a part of the solution together with us. So mr.

I do want to hand the floor over to supervisor avalos to first introduce this item thank you chair kim and thank you for your support in working together on this hearing. Also want to thank members the community for bringing this issue forward. James tracey with Community Housing parltnership [inaudible] other people who come forward who ill acknowledge when they come forward for Public Comment. In 2014 we learned about ferguson missouri where a city was able to come together its budget through fines on every day people. This was something that cities that are small that dont have a lot of Revenue Streams actually deal with but it is also ways that very discriminatory way cities are able to create the revenue stream off the backs of working people. All of us have had the experience of our cars ticketed towed or to get in some infraction with the law from time to time in history of driving or history of navigating through our cities and if we are at a very narrow margin economically, often these fines can mean the difference between ability to maintain jobs and housing and maintain any level of security and where there are cities like ferguson where you have a great part the budget that is reliant on aggressive discriminatory and and ticketed San Francisco is different. We have Revenue Streams throutd the city that have a stronger budget. At the same time we have departments that are still reliant on dollars and have practices that are disproportionately impacting that lead to disenfranchisement and a cycle where people are limited in their ability to find work, housing and other things to keep themselves economically stable. So this hearing is brought about throughout the effort of Community Groups to bring this to our attention t. Is focused specifically on drivers license citations and suspensions and the result on peoples lives and the way the city can take corrective action. I have a number of speaker. Not sure if you want to follow up with before we start . I did want to make comment as well. I know we have many members that want to speakoon the item but want to thank supervisor avalos for calling for this hearing last year. The city and county of San Francisco should be in the job of impoverishing or working class. When we look that fines and think about what is in front of us today, the story and narrative i hear are about tow away fines because the price they cast and yet wree impoverish poor and working class families because they made one mistake. The average fine is between 5 and 700 dollars can be the difference for many house holds between paying for rent and being evicted. 5 to 700 dollars for one mistake is punitive and we as a city have to acknowledge these families dont have that money as the city becomes more and more expensive and Affordable Housing here is definishing here. We want everyone that our drivers and pedestrians and sit citizens to behave and understand the rule thofz rule and cities depend upon a certain level of order but we also have to balance that with fines that measure for the mistakes people made and make sure we are careful about what we talk about when we talk about Cost Recovery. Today i have a number of questions for oewd, the tax collector, sfmta and superior court to figure how we in San Francisco can look at our fines see how key can do better. Making sure people are able to follow rules and doing in a way that it doesnt impover rsh those in San Francisco. Im interersed in hearing from City Partners to it kwibe the impact thofz fees as we have a National Conversation on how this is going in ferguson and the south but authhere in the state of california with particular taeckz to the suspension of licenses. The implementation of states amnisty program regarding traffic fine debt, the option of community suvs in lou of fine squz the payment programs we have available for those that cant pay large chunks of fines. I should note there was a segment on the john alver show last year on the impact municipal fines are having and the disproportioninate impact on [inaudible] whether these fineerize the prorept source of revenue and what are the appropriate Revenue Sources and looking at more equitable ways making sure we balance the rules we have on the books but also making sure we are not paying for our City Services on the backs of our most vulnerable residence. This hearing is only the beginning of the discondition and hope to have conversation on chaichcks and amendments that can be made how the city look as that
