SUMMER 2018 NEWSLETTER

Dear Friends,

I have been hard at work since taking over as District 2 Supervisor in January. This newsletter highlights some of the most important events of the past few months in our City and District.

The City recently passed a new budget, and I am proud to say we have added 250 police officers over the next four years to keep our streets safe. We also added almost $13 million for services to keep our street clean. Our office is dedicated to making these first steps to solving the City’s problems, and we will be working to make our City more affordable, keep our community safe, reduce homelessness, and improve transportation.

The recent election has produced a historic moment in San Francisco: London Breed became the City’s first female African-American Mayor. I wish to extend my congratulations to Mayor Breed, and I am thrilled to work with her to solve the City’s most pressing problems.

In addition to Mayor Breed, the Board of Supervisors has also welcomed two new members: Rafael Mandelman and Vallie Brown. My congratulations to Supervisor Mandelman on his election. As an active community member myself, I am very excited about the appointment of Supervisor Brown who has spent decades fighting for her community in the Lower Haight. Lastly, a special congratulations to new Board President Malia Cohen. The coming months will be an exciting time for the City, and I look forward to working with President Cohen and Supervisors Mandelman and Brown.

Having built a career as a public servant, my priority as District 2 Supervisor is listening to your concerns and solving our neighborhood’s problems. The City faces serious challenges ranging from affordability to homelessness to property crime. I will act as your voice in City Hall and relentlessly fight for our neighborhoods. You can contact my office at (415) 554-7752 or email me at catherine.stefani@sfgov.org. I also have an incredible team of three aides who are eager to hear from you: Ellie Miller Hall (ellie.millerhall@sfgov.org), Jack Gallagher (jack.gallagher@sfgov.org), and Wyatt Donnelly-Landolt (wyatt.donnelly-landolt@sfgov.org).   

In addition to this newsletter, follow us on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for more information on what my team and I are doing!

MEET YOUR TEAM

My three Legislative Aides are here to serve our community in District 2. They are committed to listening to your concerns, solving problems, and making things happen at City Hall and in District 2. If there is anything we can ever do to help, please contact them or me. I look forward to continuing to represent your voice at City Hall.

Ellie Miller Hall was born and raised in District 2 on 25th Avenue and El Camino del Mar. She attended St. Vincent de Paul School in the Marina and Convent of the Sacred Heart in Pacific Heights. Ellie is your lead contact for neighborhood and constituent concerns. Ellie manages office operations, scheduling, and calendaring, so please reach out to her regarding appointments or meetings.

Wyatt leads our efforts in policy and project management. He is eager to hear your thoughts on improving the District, so please reach out to him with ideas.

LEGISLATION AND POLICY UPDATES

REQUEST FOR REPORT ON HOMELESS SERVICES SPENDING

I recently requested that our Budget and Legislative Analyst (BLA) prepare a report on grant funding provided by the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing to non-profit organizations. I have asked the BLA to review reporting requirements to get a better understanding of how the City spends funding on homeless services. San Francisco needs to provide services to address the homeless crisis facing the City, but the City must also ensure we are measuring our results and holding service providers accountable. In the coming weeks, the BLA will release their report, and I look forward to discussing the results with you.  

TRAFFIC AND TRANSIT

MUNI Safety Hearing: I called for a hearing to discuss security policies and procedures on public transportation and requested reports from the Municipal Transportation Agency and Police Department. I look forward to providing more information once the hearing is scheduled.

SFMTA Broadway Safety Improvement Project Proposal: The Broadway Safety Improvement Project is a proposal by the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA) to address existing safety issues, particularly collision-related injuries to people who drive and walk on Broadway from Polk Street to Steiner Street. I have heard many concerns about the proposal from conversations with our neighbors, community association leaders, and schools. My main concern focuses on the outreach process surrounding this project. It is imperative to me that our neighbors’ and residents’ concerns and opinions are taken into full account before a project like this breaks ground. I met with SFMTA Director, Ed Reiskin on June 14th to ensure this is a practice of the SFMTA. On June 15th, our neighbors and residents attended the SFMTA’s public hearing to express their concerns with the project. Based on comments from our community members, the SFMTA is working now to make amendments to the project. If you were unable to attend in person, you can send your comments and concerns directly to me or Ellie. We will also revisit with our neighbors and heads of schools on Broadway to ensure everyone is up to date on what is being proposed.

Scooters: As you know, shared e-scooters appeared on our streets overnight, and I have heard from many constituents the problems these have caused on our public right of ways. The Board of Supervisors voted on April 24th to establish an enforcement code prohibiting shared e-scooters without an SFMTA permit. On June 4th, the SFMTA, in partnership with the City, ordered all e-scooter companies to remove their scooters from city streets or face impoundment with a fine to the operator of $100 per scooter, per day, in addition to other penalties. In May, the SFMTA released a permit application for a 12-month pilot program to collect data and evaluate and assess whether further increases in scooters would serve the public interest. Twelve companies submitted applications by the June 7th deadline established by the MTA. Up to five qualified companies can be issued permits to operate a total of 2,500 shared, motorized scooters in the City. The SFMTA is currently reviewing permit applications. Until permits are approved, please contact 311 if you witness any e-scooters in the public right of way throughout the City.

BikeShare: The SFMTA proposed three Ford GoBike stations at Bay and Fillmore, Clay and Steiner, and Laguna and Washington in District 2. My office received many responses from residents and community organizations who expressed concern over the proposed locations and lack of community outreach performed by the SFMTA and Ford GoBike operator Motivate. The SFMTA worked closely with my office and recognized community concerns about the project’s installation. As of now, the SFMTA and Motivate have halted plans to install any stations in District 2 and will not do so in the future without consulting my office and the community.

PARKING GARAGES

Mayor Farrell, Police Chief William Scott, SFMTA Director Ed Reiskin, Supervisor Aaron Peskin, and I announced upgrades to many of the City’s parking garages. These upgrades include the installation of new and brighter lights and security cameras. The enhancements also include the addition of new signage on Park Smart!, which is a program led by the SFPD to remind individuals to remove valuables from their cars after they park. These upgrades will be installed throughout the City, including the Pierce St. garage and the Lombard St. garage once renovations are complete.

GUN VIOLENCE PREVENTION

In May, I cosponsored a resolution with Supervisor Ahsha Safaí to support California State Senate Bill 221, which prohibits the sale of firearms and ammunition at the state-owned Cow Palace. I also led a resolution supporting California State Assembly Bill 2888, the Gun Violence Restraining Order. This order would limit access to deadly weapons by individuals who exhibit signs of becoming a danger to themselves or others. The bill would also amend existing law to enable employers, co-workers, and employees of a high school or college to request that a court to issue a gun violence restraining order, which prohibits a person from having guns in his/her custody or control. Both resolutions unanimously passed the full Board.

GIANTS' 60TH ANNIVERSARY

On Opening Day, I was so proud to introduce a resolution recognizing the San Francisco Giants’ 60th season in our beautiful city. Since their 1958 move to San Francisco, the Giants have seen 12 playoff appearances, six pennant wins, and three World Series wins! Off the field, the Giants have also received numerous awards for their work in the community. Thank you for 59 amazing seasons, Giants! We look forward to more inspiring San Francisco baseball.

IN THE COMMUNITY

Honoring the March For Our Lives Student Organizers: In March, I was honored to march down Market Street with student organizers of San Francisco’s “March for Our Lives” rally. I presented the organizers with a special commendation from the Board of Supervisors to honor their bravery and activism in bringing our high school students together. Jason Chen, Lola Cleaveland, Sarah Mitchell, Jaden Jarmel-Schneider, and Cleo Blackketter lead through their energy, dedication, and perseverance in the fight for common-sense gun reform. Our future is already better because of their commitment and resolve.

Small Business Week: For this year’s Small Business Week, I had the privilege of honoring Eleanor Carpenter and Leslie Drapkin, the co-owners of Jest Jewels. Jest Jewels has been selling fun and affordable fashion, jewelry, and accessories in District 2 for over 32 years. Congratulations to Jest Jewels and to all of our community’s small businesses!

Golden Gate Bridge March: On June 2nd, I joined my longtime colleagues, friends, and partners at Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America at the Golden Gate Bridge March. I was proud to welcome marchers dressed in orange to use the power of voice and protest to create a future free from gun violence.

D2 Neighborhood Public Safety Forums: I held three neighborhood public safety forums in District 2 with Commander David Lazar, Northern Station Captain Joe Engler, Central Station Captain Paul Yep, and District Attorney Gascón. Thank you to The Norwegian Seamen’s Church, Sherman Elementary School, CPMC Pacific Heights, and all of our neighborhood partners for hosting us.

The intent of each forum was to provide a platform for people to ask questions and express their concerns on public safety issues. We also discussed two important city programs: the SFPD-led Park Smart! campaign, which helps to educate people about preventing car break-ins; and the District Attorney’s Security Camera Registry, an important tool to combat property crime.

From these forums, Commander Lazar and our partners throughout the SFPD and the District Attorney’s Office suggested some additional programs and tools to help improve neighborhood safety and combat further threats. SFSafe, a community non-profit partnering with the SFPD, can help assist you and your neighbors with security recommendations such as security cameras. You can contact the organization directly to have a SFSafe Security Specialist visit your home to review and provide recommendations on making it more safe and secure. This is a completely free service through the organization.

We also suggest subscribing to the SFPD Captains’ newsletters and social media accounts. And always remember to report your concerns to the authorities. If you ever feel threatened or unsafe, please continue to call 9-1-1 in case of an emergency or the SFPD non-emergency number, 415-553-0123. Please dictate as much detail as you can for a report. You can also connect with 311 and provide photos so the Healthy Streets Operations Center can address the concern with the appropriate City department. Also - call my office or e-mail us directly! It is always helpful to be kept informed on individual issues that face our communities, and I am here to help work with our partners and address your concerns.

Neighborhood Association Meetings & Town Halls: I have enjoyed many opportunities the last few months to connect with our incredible neighborhood associations, community groups and watch groups. Special thanks to the Pacific Heights Residents Association, Russian Hill Neighbors, Cow Hollow Association, Presidio Heights Association of Neighbors, Golden Gate Valley Neighborhood Association, Marina Community Association, Marina/Cow Hollow Neighbors & Merchants for inviting me to regular membership meetings or connecting with my office directly to set up time to discuss the many issues facing San Francisco and our district. I also held our first District 2 Neighborhood Association Leaders’ meeting since I took office. I believe that any challenges our communities face can be solved through collaboration and am especially grateful for the input of our neighbors. I appreciate the opportunity to share my priorities as Supervisor.

Asian Pacific American Month Honoree: It was my honor to commend Traci Teraoka for this year’s Asian Pacific American Heritage Month. Traci is a third-generation Japanese American and the owner of Poetica Art and Antiques in the Presidio Heights neighborhood. Her leadership, dedication, and advocacy as the President of the Sacramento Street Merchants Association has benefited our neighborhood greatly. Thank you, Traci, for everything you do for our community!

Celebrating Our Teachers & Place of Learning: On June 3rd, I had the pleasure to honor retiring Sherman Elementary Teacher Ms. Marsha Lew for her 37 years of service. There is no greater privilege than to dedicate one’s life to public service. It is a vocation where career and passion come together. Marsha is not only a beloved teacher but also an awakener who has cultivated hundreds of San Francisco students and future leaders. I was proud to present her with a Certificate of Honor from Mayor Farrell to commemorate her years of service.

On June 8th, we celebrated the Golden Gate Valley Branch Library’s 100th Anniversary! This library is a piece of our city’s beautiful history and a symbol of our collective values: cultural education, strong community building, pathways to accessibility, public service, and igniting one’s imagination. Former First Lady, Lady Bird Johnson once said, “Perhaps no place in any community is so totally democratic as the town library. The only entrance requirement is interest.” It is a beautiful thing to celebrate decades of individuals joining together to promote a center of learning, community engagement, quiet reflection and cultural preservation. Libraries are special sites that help people connect to their communities and the world around them. I look forward to seeing how our Golden Gate Valley Branch Library prospers in the many years to come.

District 2 Movie Nights: We had an amazing season of District 2 Movie Nights thanks to our partners: the Presidio YMCA, the Presidio Trust, Friends of Lafayette Park, and the Palace of Fine Arts. Our movie nights are free events with healthy snacks for our neighborhood families to come together with fellow movie-lovers to enjoy a night in one of our beloved community spaces around the District. I helped to start the tradition as an aide to then-Supervisor Farrell, and I’m so happy to be able to continue it as Supervisor. District 2 Movie Nights will be back in September, and we look forward to sending you updates.

Public Works Street-Cleaning Tour: On Friday, June 20th, I joined Department of Public Works Director Mohammed Nuru and his staff for an early morning tour of the City’s street-cleaning services. Director Nuru and his team took me along to clean streets and clear tent encampments throughout the City. I am proud that, through this year’s budget process, we increased funding levels for street cleaning throughout San Francisco, and I look forward to continuing to work with Director Nuru to keep our neighborhoods safe and clean.

SFPD Ride-Along: On the evening of June 20th, I went on a ride-along with Captain Joe Engler and Officer Matt Lobre of the SFPD Northern Station. We drove around the District, touching base with many residents and making sure to pay special attention to Moscone Park and the Marina Safeway. Public safety is one of my top priorities, and I’m pleased that the Board of Supervisors agreed to increase police staffing levels in this year’s budget.

CELEBRATING SMALL BUSINESSES

Union Street Festival: A big thank you to the Union Street Association for organizing the 42nd Annual Union Street Music Festival. I had a grand time meeting with all the merchants and constituents who come out to enjoy this great community event year after year.

Verve Wine Opening: I was delighted to welcome and congratulate Master Sommelier Dustin Wilson, Eric Railsback, and Derrick Maze of Verve Wine for their West Coast debut. Verve Wine is an excellent addition to the Fillmore merchant community with its thoughtfully curated wine selection. Thank you for inviting me to your grand opening celebration.

Valentino Market Spring Fling: Thank you to the Valentino Market Spring Fling for presenting me with a key to our neighborhood! I had a great time meeting our neighbors and hearing everyone’s ideas for addressing our city’s challenges.

Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness Center’s 23rd Anniversary Party: I am grateful to Irene Diamond for the invitation to Diamond Pain Relief & Wellness Center’s 23rd Anniversary Party! Irene’s business is one of our district’s gems; we are so lucky to host some of San Francisco’s best merchant corridors such as Lombard Street. One of the joys of my job is collaborating with merchants like Irene to meet the needs of our community and bring our neighborhood together. Thank you, Irene!

Amy Lang’s Anniversary at Pacific Heights Health Studio: The Pacific Heights Health Club celebrated its 14th anniversary under Amy Lang’s leadership. Amy has provided a comfortable space for all the residents to discover fitness and make healthy lifestyle choices all the while having a ton of fun. Thank you, Amy, for your dedication to the community and congratulations to Pacific Heights Health Club!
