August 7: Annual District 5 Clean-Up Day!
 Join Supervisor Mirkarimi on Saturday, August 7, 2010 at the African American Art & Culture Complex (AAACC), 762 Fulton (at Webster) 9 am to 12 noon for a District-wide clean-up day. Volunteers will work on landscaping and gardening projects, remove weeds and overgrown vegetation, abate graffiti, and pick up litter in the neighborhoods throughout the District. The Department of Public Works will provide tools and equipment for the day. Join us to help make San Francisco a livable, vibrant, and sustainable city! To volunteer, email volunteer@sfdpw.org or call 554-7687, or just show up!
"Gigantic Three" in the DMV Parking Lot
The day will also include a Gigantic Three program in the DMV parking lot on Fell at Baker - A free Bulky Item Drop Off Service allows residents in District Five to get rid of unwanted household items on August 7, from 8 am to 12 noon. The free "Gigantic 3" program- three large containers for recycling, composting, and bulky items- comes to your neighborhood one Saturday a year, and this is District 5's Saturday! All you have to do is bring your unwanted items to the site, and the Gigantic 3 staff will help you put them into the appropriate container. It's a convenient place to get rid of used motor oil and oil filters, household batteries, and fluorescent bulbs and tubes, too. The program also accepts small, reusable items for Goodwill and will give you a tax-deductible receipt for your donation.
After all the hard work, please join us following the clean-up for a volunteer appreciation lunch at the AAACC.
Board of Supervisors Completes the City Budget
Supervisor Mirkarimi is proud to have served as Vice-Chair of the Budget and Finance committee that worked to restore $44 million to programs that the Mayor had targeted for cuts or outright elimination. Late on Tuesday, July 20th, the full Board of Supervisors approved the budget. We saved programs--both in District 5 and citywide--providing after-school programming, health services, job training and education, violence prevention, and senior services.
While the Board was able to reverse a number of the most egregious cuts, there were still a significant number of jobs that were lost and important services that were reduced. And sadly, the future looks to remain ominous and uncertain. We still don't know what toll the state budget will take on our local funding, and whether the economy will improve or worsen. With the City facing structural deficits for the foreseeable future, we need to continue to work to both reduce City expenses and to generate new revenues to keep our City solvent.

Election Day Voter Registration on the November Ballot
 On Tuesday, July 20th, the Board of Supervisors voted to put Supervisor Mirkarimi's charter amendment that would allow for Election Day voter registration on the November ballot. If passed by the voters, this charter amendment would make San Francisco the first county in California to allow voters to register on Election Day. This would apply only to off-year, municipal elections--it would not apply to statewide elections.
Nine other states plus the District of Columbia have implemented Election Day voter registration. These states have typically seen a 4% to 7% increase in voter turnout. Election Day voter registration increases turnout for young voters and low-income voters--two groups who move more often and thus need to re-register often. Election day voter registration also encourages a wider cross-section of voters to participate. The average voter turnout during the last ten municipal elections was just 37%. Supervisor Mirkarimi hopes Election Day voter registration will help reverse this troubling trend.

Transportation Authority Places Vehicle Registration Fee on the November Ballot
The Transportation Authority (TA) has placed a measure on the November ballot to increase the Vehicle Registration Fee (VRF) in San Francisco by $10. As chair of the TA, Ross helped develop the expenditure plan for how the funds will be used to improve transportation in the City. The measure would generate $5 million a year to be used for street resurfacing (50 percent), pedestrian safety (25 percent) and transit technology improvements (25 percent). This measure is prompted by the passage of SB83, which allows individual counties to decide to increase the VRF. It would help recover a portion of the revenues lost by Governor Schwarzenegger's debilitating cut to the VLF in 2005.
Among Bay Area counties, Alameda, Marin, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties have all placed similar measures on the November ballot. Only Napa County has opted not to, while the other counties are still considering the possibility.

Foot Patrol Ballot Measure to Be Considered by the Board
 On Tuesday, July 27th, the Board of Supervisors will consider placing a measure authored by Supervisor Mirkarimi on the November ballot to require the San Francisco Police Department to establish a community policing program that features foot/bike/Muni patrols at the discretion of the SFPD. Supervisor Mirkarimi has long been a proponent of foot beat patrols. He authored the 2006 pilot trial foot beats ordinance that was modeled in part on the successful community policing programs in New York City, Chicago and Boston.
In 2008, the City Controller commissioned an independent study that evaluated the success of San Francisco's ability to sustain a community policing program featuring accountable foot beats in chronically distressed neighborhood corridors. A survey then found that approximately 79% of San Franciscans desired a foot beat program in particular in challenging mixed-use corridors.
While this ballot measure gives complete discretion to the SFPD Chief on foot beat deployment, Supervisor Mirkarimi wants to fortify a practice that should not be seen as a "luxury" but treated as an effective tool in fighting and preventing crime.

Supervisor Mirkarimi Introduces Right to Remain Ordinance
On Tuesday, July 13th, Supervisor Mirkarimi introduced the San Francisco Public Housing Tenant Protection Ordinance, which ensure that public housing residents have the Right to Remain when their developments are rebuilt. Public Housing Developments that receive Financial Assistance from the City would be required to:
- Engage their tenants in a meaningful planning process for rebuilding the development.
- Construct one-to-one replacement housing that has the same number of bedrooms and the same levels of affordability guarantees.
- Perform the reconstruction in phases to minimize the displacement and relocation of tenants.
- Maintain a list of all tenants, provide them with relocation assistance, and ensure that they are given first priority for the new, replacement units.
The goal of the Public Housing Tenant Protection Ordinance is to prevent or minimize the hardship associated with the displacement and relocation of Public Housing tenants. In District 5, the Westside Courts apartments and the King-Garvey Co-Op are currently being rebuilt. This ordinance would also apply to residents of the Alice Griffith apartments, who are poised to be displaced if Alice Griffith is rebuilt as part of the Hunters Point Shipyard project. We owe it to all of the City's public housing residents to ensure that we do not repeat the mistakes of the past, and that they have the Right to Remain in their communities.
Board to Vote on Youth Public Service Academies Legislation
Recruitment of San Franciscans at an all-time low. Supervisor Mirkarimi wants to reverse this
On Tuesday July 27th, the Board of Supervisors will vote on Supervisor Mirkarimi's ordinance to create training programs for San Francisco Unified School District high school students to prepare them for careers in the City's public safety and public health departments. The goal is to address two long-standing problems by:
- Preparing SFUSD students for careers that will allow them to afford to live in San Francisco: The recession has hit young people particularly hard. As of November of 2009, the unemployment rate for 16 to 19 year olds in the U.S. was over 40%, the highest rate since World War II.
- Increasing the number of public safety employees who live in San Francisco: Currently only 34% of firefighters and 25% of police officers live in San Francisco, and recruitment of San Franciscans has plummeted. Having police and firefighters living in the City is vital for the City's ability to respond to natural disasters or emergencies. Native San Franciscans also bring valuable personal experience and increases neighborhood connections to the job.
This ordinance would instruct the Director of Workforce Development to work with our Public Safety and Public Health departments to develop high school level career academies for the School District and City College. These academies would provide training and internship opportunities to prepare students for public safety or public health careers with the City and County of San Francisco (Police, fire, sheriff, EMT, nurses, etc.). The goal is to be able to provide tuition assistance to graduates and possible debt forgiveness after they work for the City for a number of years.
Supervisor Mirkarimi would like to thank the Youth Commission for their help on this project and looks forward to working with them and other stakeholders to develop this program.

Thanks for Supporting the Rec and Park Charter Amendment
 Thank you to all of the advocates who worked so hard on this issue and the handful of dedicated advocates who stayed until almost midnight when the final vote on the amendment was taken. The amendment was one vote short of approval and will not be on the November ballot. The charter amendment would have evenly split appointments to the Rec and Park Commission between the Board of Supervisors and the Mayor. Prompted by great concern on issues ranging from privatization to the perceived inaccessibility of Rec and Park's decision making process, Supervisor Mirkarimi drafted the charter amendment with the support of the Sierra Club, The Golden Gate Audubon Society, San Francisco Tomorrow, the Telegraph Hill Dwellers, Golden Gateway Tenants Association, Sunset Parkside Education and Action Committee, the Save the Stow Lake Boathouse Coalition, and many others.
Supervisor Mirkarimi remains committed to reform that procedurally welcomes a diversity of opinions and checks and balances to the Rec and Park Commission and Department.

August 9: Hearing on the Sacred Heart Sanctuary
On Monday August 9th, the Land Use committee will hold a hearing on Supervisor Mirkarimi's resolution calling for the City Attorney to fully investigate the alleged violations of the Building Code by the Megan Furth Academy, who essentially gutted the Sacred Heart sanctuary of all its architectural treasures, ignoring the notice of violation and stop-work orders issued by the Department of Building Inspection.
Long a defining architectural landmark in the neighborhood, the beloved sanctuary is at risk of falling into disrepair since the Catholic Church sold it to the Megan Furth Academy. Supervisor Mirkarimi intends for this resolution to bring attention to the plight of the Sanctuary and to, hopefully, convince the new owner to be a good steward of the architectural treasure as well as be a good neighbor.

Target Considering Geary and Masonic Location
 On Wednesday July 21st, Target held a community meeting to discuss its plans to open a store in the former Mervyn's location at Geary and Masonic. The prospect of Target moving into the neighborhood has been greeted by much excitement along with some concern. Supervisor Mirkarimi attended the meeting, and while he would like to see the long-vacant building put to use again, he raised a few important issues he expects Target to address in the project proposal:
- Ensuring that the store hires local San Franciscans.
- Addressing the increase in traffic on Masonic and working with the MTA on the Masonic Traffic Calming project to make Masonic safe and efficient for pedestrians and cyclists as well as cars.
- Working with the MTA to make any potential store compatible and complimentary to Bus Rapid Transit, which will be implemented on Geary in the coming years.
Stay tuned to future editions of our newsletter for more news as the Target proposal develops.

Muni Service Restoration
MTA Board of Directors recently unanimously voted to restore $11 million in cuts that will undo half of its deep service cuts starting September 4th. $7 million of this funding was made possible through the work of Supervisor Mirkarimi in his role as chair of the Transportation Authority. While this is welcome news to all of us who depend on Muni, Supervisor Mirkarimi is concerned that service was not restored on the 6 Parnassus. Ross plans to follow up with the MTA to see if any additional help can be directed towards the 6 Parnassus and its riders. For a summary of the restorations citywide, see this PDF from the MTA.
