Board of Supervisors Meeting Agenda Tuesday, April 23, 2013
1. 130353 [Formal Policy Discussions - April 23, 2013]
Pursuant to Charter Sections 2.103 and 3.100(7), and Administrative Code, Section 2.11,
the Mayor shall answer the following eligible questions submitted from Supervisors
representing Districts 1, 3, and 11. The Mayor may address the Board initially for up to
five minutes. Discussion shall not exceed five minutes per Supervisor.
1. According to the 2010 census, 35.6% of San Franciscans are foreign born and City
residents speak more than 28 different languages. Our City’s Language Access
Ordinance has been in effect since 2009 to make sure that the various needs of this
population are well served. Yet, I am aware, from feedback from community groups, that
our City Departments still struggle to meet the language needs of San Francisco’s
diverse communities. In heavily immigrant populated Districts, like the Richmond, it is
critical that our City’s services have the ability to serve all of our residents equitably. I am
particularly concerned that our first responders and other Tier 1 Departments be in
compliance with the Ordinance and recently called for a hearing to examine this issue. I
would like to know what your office is doing to ensure the requirements of the Language
Access Ordinance are fully met? (Supervisor Mar, District 1)
2. Mr. Mayor, my office recently implemented San Francisco’s first pilot program in
participatory budgeting. As practiced in 1,500 cities around the world, including Chicago
and New York City, participatory budgeting is a direct democratic process in which
residents decide how to spend a portion of a public budget, which leads to better and
fairer decisions, makes government more accountable and efficient, builds community in
our neighborhoods, and increases public confidence in how our city works. With the
partnership of the Controller’s Office and community groups, my office successfully
managed a process that included collecting ideas proposed by residents, winnowing
implementable projects, and a week of voting at locations around District 3. This year,
my hope is that we can expand our participatory budget pilot beyond the modest
$100,000 of funding available this year, which represents less than 1/70,000th of our
annual budget. Will you join me to make San Francisco a participatory budgeting leader
in the United States? (Supervisor Chiu, District 3)
3. A small area of the Oceanview, Merced Heights, and Ingleside (OMI) neighborhood
has experienced a high level of gun violence and a rash of homicides over the past
several years, mostly affecting African American men in the Broad Street corridor. In
November, OMI residents and service providers held a public safety town hall meeting
attended by many City departments, most of which committed to stepping up their work
in the neighborhood.Earlier this year after a young African American man was shot at the
Minnie and Lovie Ward Recreation Center playground, you and I spoke directly about
creating a violence prevention plan specific to the OMI neighborhood and its African
American community. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Please tell us the
status of the plan to bring jobs and violence prevention and intervention resources to the
OMI to address the crisis of gun violence. (Supervisor Avalos, District 11)
Question: Shall this Hearing be HEARD AND FILED?
