Time i was sworn in as a new member of the board of supervisors and became very an acquainted with uncle ben. This fund is in honor of his lifes work to raise money for promising bayview use aspiring to their higher educational goals. On an annual basis we have from friends while a Community Mourns a giant, we have many memories of uncle ben and his memories will live on so many who will up lift and move forward our next leaders of our nation. With that said, madam clerk, i want to recognize the family and Community Members here in the chamber who have come to celebrate mr. Robinsons memory with us. Please stand, thank you. Thank you for joining us. I would like to have a motion that we close out the entire Board Meeting in honor of mr. Ben robinson. Thank you. Thank you. I think at this point we can all agree that homelessness in San Francisco has not only reached a crisis but an emergency. Our overall Homeless Population has stagnated for many years. We have far too many families and children which are starting to be addressed specifically seniors and other people suffering from Mental Illness in our streets and other situations that need our help. During a time when our local economy is growing and strong, i do believe we need to make investment now in terms of programs and services to have the best outcomes. One of the best programs we have seen is the Navigation Center in the Early Mission district. Early data and analysis on the effects of the navigation model have pit falls of the model to learn and adapted to as needed. As you are aware, the Navigation Center is not set on location. The center will close its doors in june in 2016 once construction begins. During that, i want to expand the Navigation Center across San Francisco. To date the Controllers Office has released three reports. They have provided an overview of the model itself and over our traditional homeless shelters in San Francisco with interviews from stakeholders and clients at the Navigation Center. A look at the impact the Navigation Center is having on homelessness in San Francisco and a look at how different city agencies and nonprofit partners are creating Better Outcomes for those in the Navigation Center. I would like to thank supervisor london breed for her legislation today and look forward to seeing how the money is spent around homelessness. The final report is to be released later this month at the end of december. I will plan to bring the Mayors Office of hope and Homeless Agency and nonprofit partners to report for this hearing as well. I look forward to hosting this hearing in midjanuary and look forward to the expansion early next year particularly when the existing navigation will close. We want to make sure we will not skip i beat and provide the best service for our homeless. The rest i submit. Thank you. Supervisor mar . Supervisor eric mar thank you. I have a couple of items. This is lou as last week in civic engagement. He has jury duty this week. He grew up in the Richmond District and went to graduate from urban planning before joining staff in the Youth Commission. During his tenure, allen has been part of the youth empowerment. Hes worked with Youth Commissioners and been the leader to young san franciscans and worked on free muni for youth and thank you to supervisors for that as well. Hes also empowered immigrated youth and thanks for that and also equitable housing and justice issues for youth and transitional issues and also a key point with the commission on the Public EducationEnrichment Fund and in the 2014 campaign as well. Allen has brought a deep sense of Mutual Respect with humility and quality and insight in his work and i want to thank him for his support of the Youth Commission staff. I also want to say hes gone on to work with the cal center. I wish him the best of luck. Today im introducing a hearing request on hunger and Food Insecurity. As you recall, 2 years ago, december, we passed a policy to drastically reduce or end hunger and Food Insecurity in San Francisco by 2020. It involved analyzing data from the Food Security task force and the tenderloin Security Task force that said 1 4 of san franciscans up to 225,000 people of in danger of Food Insecurity and during the holidays we are more aware of how many people, lots of seniors and family are going to bed hungry at night or waking up in the morning not having enough to eat as well. I think the reports from the task forces really brought to light the real suffering that happens. I know our board resolution and the city is committed to developing plans and setting goals so we are gradually reducing and dramatically reducing hung er in our city. In march of 2014, we held more hearings in our each departments plans to advance progress in achieving recommendations for ending hunger by 2020 resolution. We also set out concrete city departments steps to get us to the goal so its been 2 years and this hearing would help us assess how far weve gone and how far we have to go. I also want to acknowledge that weve committed millions of dollars in the last several budgets. I want to thank the Budget Committee and colleagues for committing money for critical senior nutrition and health programs, but also significantly impacting hung and hunger and Food Insecurity and how we are ending hunger by 2020. Also we are creating legislation for increasing culture and safety. Supervisor yee and kim and wiener all attended with me as well walk sf moving memorial for Traffic Systems 2 weeks ago where im really understanding for walk sf for base of systems for traffic killings. I think it was very moving to hear the stories during march and gathering along Market Street. Our community will see that as a district level. Its about enforcement and engineering and education. Reducing speeds and really looking at methods is a tool we have. Speed reduction is a strategy and will look at how of we done in terms of reducing speeds and in district 4. Patrick yee, the 87yearold Richmond District hit by a car in the crosswalk. The first traffic killing in 2015 along a high injury corridor and kelly senior, killed around the corner from my house as well on cabrillo. These stories were brought out on walk sf memorial. As we look at state streets and other programs that we are telling the human stories of the families and loses and how we need to do what we can to advance vision zero more aggressively. This budget item report will ask for assessment and evaluation for speed reduction and strategies in the city and reports on the recent calming strategy and reducing speeding and speed limits, updating on all streets where the city has street limits and examining the data and preventing collisions and improving safety. Secondly it will look at safe streets for senior strategies reports on recommendations where seniors congregate such as Senior Centers and care facilities and study models and best practices such as new yorks senior zone along chinatown and places in manhattan. This will develop best practices and models for traffic calming measures that involve seniors with disabilities and creating safer streets as well. Another issue thats very important to me is developing a water access for all. Agua for all in the Central Valley as we look at how to increase water fountains and tap station in their community. We looked at updates from from our cities not just from the Public Utilities commission but School District and other departments on achieving new water fountain drinking stations. We are almost there. We are up to 69 and next week i will be working with harlin kelly and from the Health Improvement partnership and communities to acknowledge that we are getting close to the 100 mark. But the 69th will be on clement street near the park by the Farmers Market that the community has set up. As you know, access to water is a great strategy to curb obesity and diabetes by discouraging sweet drinks and discouraging the use of plastic water bottles. I think that water has been one of those ways and if we have access to it, it will lead to healthier lives. The fountains we will have next year are necessary as well. As we counter the soda issue and we counter the water problem going on in our world and the rest of the community. As we have clean and hetch hetchy water is critical to the new fountains of youth in our city. Next september 4th, at 10 00 a. M. Join us at clemente street at third avenue. This new drink tap station will be again the 69 as we are trying to advocate for 100 in our city by next year. It the collaboration of our School District, the Public Utilities commission and the parks and Recreation Department and where the drink fountain station will be unveiled and it will be opened in 10 days. There is many coming to the district and district one but also throughout the city. I want to thank from the Public Utilities commission from natel and those uniting for water access for all and fountain communities as well. One more plug before i give the mic to our next colleague, on december 8th, coming up next week from 5 00 p. M. To 9 00 p. M. Richmond district merchants are holding the clemen tine will band together to carried fun family oriented experience of Holiday Shopping and community gathering. There is going to be a bunch of discounts and promotions and will be a way to gather earned clement street for Holiday Shopping. If you want more information go to clement street sf. Com. Thank you. The rest i will submit. Thank you. Supervisor mar. Supervisor tang . Supervisor katy tang thank you. Colleagues, last week we had a pretty lengthy discussion in regards to neighborhood evictions where they currently reside. I said i was going to tac on that legislation. It requires the board rent board when they are providing notices that they are going to be evicted and to provide information what Housing Resources are there offered by the citys Mayors Office of housing particular in below market rate and the program they maybe eligible for. I think its pretty important as we are doing as much work that we can to strengthen our programs to allow for more Affordable Housing especially for our tennants that they actually know what is available and what they are eligible for. Then per our existing Language Access ordinance, these notifications will be provided in the various languages spelled out already. Secondly, im introducing a resolution today that really reflects some of the work of the Shelter Monitoring Committee. They had adopted a resolution at their last meeting to urge the Human Services agency to amend the eminent danger policy for the shelter systems. I would like to thank all of our female cosponsors and of course our male colleagues are invited as well. Thank you supervisors breed and kim. Those involved in Domestic Violence incident are denied shelter admittance or not allowed to remain in a shelter for 30 days if they are in a dangerous situation that might cause harm to the family themselves. Recently fsh and the monitoring community did reduce the timeframe to 15 days. While this has been put into place, out of concern for the protection of the individuals at the shelter, it doesnt provide assistance to the victims of Domestic Violence who are in dire need of protection and services. As we all know Domestic Violence affects the thousands of San Francisco resident s and one of the most under reported crimes to transitional housing to provide that support that they need during Domestic Violence situations. In fiscal year 20132014, city funded emergency shelters provided 3500 bed nights and one Permanent Supportive Housing Program providing 11069 nights to services. There needs to be a change in policy. So adopting the Shelter Monitoring Committee recommendations would most importantly prohibit the denial of Services Based on being a victim of Domestic Violence and being a self disclosure of Domestic Violence and no victim of Domestic Violence should be turned away from shelter or services. Furthermore we do not want to discourage victims from reporting. In addition the changes would require assessments upon intake to assess all families, establish protective order to contact Law Enforcement and updating manuals for staff and improving policy to renew and establish shelter providers. So as we all know victims of Domestic Violence are already facing difficult battles. I want to thank the shelter monitoring Community Members and Domestic Violence advocates for their dedicated work on this issue. 1 person in particular, nicholas is part of the Shelter Monitoring Committee. He was really key in bringing a lot of these issues to our attention. I think actually when i was sitting on the gao committee and unfortunately he will be leaving the Shelter Monitoring Committee very shortly, i think the end of this week is his last week. So i just would like to thank him for everything hes done and all the members who contributed to this particular change pursuant with the hsa w that i will submit. Thank you. Supervisor tang. Supervisor wiener supervisor scott weiner thank you very much. Today im introducing a reoccurring oversight hearing request dpor a quarterly hearing so we can have full transparency on the citys Enforcement Effort around shortterm rentals. Prop fchl , of course during this ballot measure and those who are opposing it and those who are supporting it, we all want strong enforcement regarding show term rentals. We know there are shortterm rentals occurring right now violating the law that are causing problems in neighborhoods that are really not in the spirit of the regulations that we passed late last year and in the middle of this year. We need to make sure that we are allowing those engaging in legal and appropriate shortterm rentals to do so and to their lives while cracking down on the shortterm rentals that are violating the law. This summer, we passed legislation as you will recall creating the office of shortterm rentals, we also significantly increasing the important resources providing to that office so they can enforce the laws. Weve seen what appears to be an increase in enforcement. In my district there are properties for violations of the law were occurring and city staff stepped in and enforced an imposed significant fines. It is important for the public to have confidence that enforcement is happening. A lot of times there is skepticism in San Francisco in various aspects of city government. When it comes to shortterm rentals given importance of this issue to a lot of people on all sides of this issue. The public needs to know what level of enforcement is happening and needs to know that people are being held accountable when they violate the law. The hearing request an oversight hearing to occur every 3 months and every time the shortterm office for rentals will come and determine how much enforcement is happening, how to enforcement is happening, how many registrations are occurring in terms of shortterm of rental properties and the properties imposed and what the trend are. Colleagues, i look forward to this quarterly hearing to have full transparency on this important enforcement endeavor. I also have two very tragic in memoriam today for Chris Mitchell who passed away suddenly saturday november 21st. He resided in San Francisco and employee of fitness sf, the gym. Known for his amazing smile and wit. He was an invaluable colleague an
