Our Holiday Party and Art Show, Friday December 14th
City Hall, room 282, 5:30 to 8 PM
Come Celebrate with Supervisor Mirkarimi and Friends
In this exhibit we have two art forms, paintings and illustrations. Using cartoons and humor to examine the political environment in a world where we sometimes feel we have no control. The featured painter is a local artist, David Faulk. David is an artist from Visual Aid; a San Francisco based non-profit organization dedicated to servicing artists with life threatening diseases. The 35 cartoonist are from around the world, representing 25 countries. Their illustrations use graphic satire to expose and ridicule the worlds most powerful and its leaders. Some of these pieces were in a show at the Cartoon Art Museum titled, Why Do They Hate Us?

Join us for art, holiday cheer and a special holiday surprise from the SF Department of the Environment! (Santa image by Andy Warhol.)

SF Bay Oil Spill Hearing Puts Spotlight on Inadequate City and Federal Response
On Monday December 3, the Public Safety Committee chaired by Supervisor Mirkarimi held a hearing to examine the failures that followed the November 7 spill. While the Coast Guard is taking heat for its initial underestimate of the spill and its prolonged failure to obtain the facts, Mirkarimi said that the City and federal emergency preparedness systems were clearly inadequate.

A full Chronicle article on this hearing can be found here.


Examiner and Chronicle Laud Supervisor Mirkarimi's Workforce Legislation
On November 20 the Board of Supervisors unanimously approved legislation by Supervisor Mirkarimi to streamline and unify the job development efforts by 11 different City departments which currently cost $30 million. The current expenditures related to finding, training, and placing workers are uncoordinated from department to department, and it is hoped that the new law will substantially improve the efficiency of these efforts. The Mayor's Office of Economic and Workforce Development will be in charge of steering funding and measuring outcomes. With crime and homelessness and other social problems closely linked to a lack of opportunities and employment, it is hoped that this new initiative will help improve the City for all San Franciscans. The Chronicle editorial on this issue can be viewed here. The Examiner editorial can be seen here.

Update on UC Berkeley Extension at 55 Laguna
Joined by member of the LGBTQ, neighborhood, and affordable housing activist communities, Supervisor Mirkarimi held a press conference on Thursday, December 6, calling for greater affordability and other public benefits to be included in the University of California's redevelopment of their property at 55 Laguna.

Previously the site of the UC Berkeley Extension campus which was relocated in December 2003 and left in disuse since, the almost six acres of property bounded by Laguna, Herman, Buchanan and Haight Streets is now slated to be transformed into a mixed-use residential complex of 440 rental units, of which 15% are to be affordable.

The LGBTQ, neighborhood and affordable housing communities are working with Supervisor Mirkarimi to seek reasonable public benefits from UC and its private developer-- namely more affordable housing and smart, transportation-friendly infill development. Supervisor Mirkarimi was supported by representatives of Aids Housing Alliance/ SF (AHA/SF), Housing Rights Committee, San Francisco Tenant's Union, the Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club, Council of Community Housing Organizations, the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association, Senior Action Network, Sierra Club, Livable City, Castro Coalition, Castro Area Planing + Action and other LGBTQ, affordable housing and environmental activists in renewing the call for greater affordability of the 440 rental housing units.

According to AHA/SF founder and Harvey Milk LGBT Democratic Club President Brian Basinger, "there are funds available to help us reach these affordability goals and we as a coalition are ready to assist both UC and its private developer to leverage these funds to build more affordable housing. This housing is essential for the AHA/SF clients and other LGBTQ seniors and disabled who have been displaced by the City's cost of living."

Board Unanimously Restores Psych Bed Funding
The 14 acute-care psychiatric beds at General Hospital which were cut from the City's budget have been restored by a unanimous vote of the Board of Supervisors. Supervisor Mirkarimi led a broad coalition which included both mental health advocates and labor which succeeded in retaining this essential city service.

However, this success is only temporary as the City faces a projected shortfall in next year's budget and the Psych beds are likely to be on the Mayor's chopping block again. Supervisor Mirkarimi is proactively addressing this issue by initiating legislation that will create a task force to examine the best practices of mental health services funding and delivery. By bringing together parties on all sides of the debate, Supervisor Mirkarimi anticipates that consensus on this issue can be reached and the City can avoid being faced with draconian measures which will affect the City's most vulnerable citizens.

Supervisor Mirkarimi's Skate Park Legislation Advances to the Full Board
As reported in last month's newsletter, the Recreation and Parks Department suggested that the closed-off portion of Waller Street near Kezar Stadium is a better spot for a skate park rather than the Horseshoe Pits location that was originally under consideration. With that location change approved in Committee, the measure was referred to the Planning Department to update its environmental review. Planning, in an amazing one-day turn-around, completed the update and the measure was heard back in the Board's City Operations and Neighborhood Services Committee on November 29th where it again enjoyed unanimous support. The measure will be heard at the next Board of Supervisor's meeting on December 11 where Supervisor Mirkarimi expects it to roll smoothly through to the Mayor's office.

Yoshi's San Francisco Grand Opening

On November 28th the Fillmore district welcomed Yoshi's San Francisco -- bringing the esteemed jazz venue into a neighborhood that once thrived with a Harlem-style musical renaissance. In the 1940s and 50s -- before the Fillmore's controversial redevelopment, and after the tragic Japanese internment that displaced many of the area's Japanese American residents -- the neighborhood housed dozens of nightclubs, hosting acts like Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, and Lionel Hampton. The new Yoshi's, under the artistic direction of Peter Williams, brings these strains of jazz back to their San Francisco roots. The upcoming calendar features the same caliber of artist and sound that has characterized Yoshi's renowned Oakland location.

Yoshi's is part of the Fillmore Heritage Center, a mixed development featuring housing, a planned Jazz museum, and "1300 on Fillmore," an American soul food restaurant, which has opened to rave reviews. In further Fillmore/Japantown developments, the newly redone and renamed Kabuki Sundance Theaters will be opening this month.

Examiner weighs in on Supervisor Mirkarimi's Police Effectiveness Review Process
The Examiner writes about the effectiveness of police foot patrols in
this editorial.

San Francisco's Plastic Bag Ban is Now in Effect!
On December 1, six months after being signed into law, the plastic bag ordinance went into effect. The ordinance, which was introduced and championed by Supervisor Ross Mirkarimi, bans all large supermarkets in San Francisco from using traditional plastic carryout bags (and will be expanded in six months to apply to large pharmacies). These stores must provide either paper or compostable bags, as well as offer re-useable bags for sale. The implementation of the ordinance marks a significant victory in the fight to reduce the amount of plastic entering the City's landfills, especially given that similar ordinances in several other cities are facing lawsuits and other pressures aimed at delaying implementation of their plastic bag bans.

To celebrate this victory, Chico Bags (a manufacturer of re-useable bags) sponsored a "plastic bag party" at 111 Minna to benefit the Surfrider Foundation. Highlights of the party included a speech by Supervisor Mirkarimi noting the rapid spread of the plastic bag ban idea to cities around the globe and emphasizing the potential of local progressive legislation, and an impressive fashion show featuring clothes made from plastic bags. For more pictures and information, see this FogCityJournal article.
