Passage of Measure B – Paid Parental Leave for City EmployeesThis November, voters supported the passage of Proposition B, which I sponsored to improve our City’s Paid Parental Leave law that was passed in 2002. Prop B allows city employees to retain 40 hours of sick leave after the birth, adoption or fostering of a child. Currently, employees must exhaust all sick, vacation and compensatory time before being given the paid leave.
Prop B also provides city employees who are married or in a domestic partnership to access the full benefits of the law. Currently, if two parents are both city employees, they must split the 12-week benefit. Prop B allows for both parents to each access the 12-week benefit.
I would like to thank everyone who voted and supported Prop B. Moving forward, our office will be meeting with representatives from the public and private sectors to discuss how we can better support all of the families in our city. For more information or to get involved, please contact my office at (415) 554-7460.
Legislative UpdateThis month, I introduced two pieces of legislation that I hope will support vulnerable populations in our City.
Support for Domestic Violence victims in Shelter SystemThe first is a resolution urging the Human Service Agency (HSA) to amend its Imminent Danger policy for its shelter system as it applies to victims of domestic violence. Currently, shelter residents who self-report or are involved in a domestic violence incident are either denied shelter admittance or are not allowed to remain in a shelter for 30 days. (This policy was changed to 15 days in October). While this policy was put into place out of concern for the protection of shelter residents and staff, it does not provide assistance to the victims of domestic violence who are in dire need of protection and services. The policy also discourages victims of domestic violence from reporting crimes. The resolution calls upon HSA to adopt the Shelter Monitoring Committee’s policy recommendations, which include: prohibiting the denial of services based on being a victim of domestic violence or self-disclosure of domestic violence; requiring the use of lethality assessments upon intake to assess all families for the risk of domestic violence; and establishing procedures to assist victims in securing emergency protective orders.
Improved Notifications for Evicted TenantsI also introduced an ordinance requiring that the Rent Board notify tenants who are being evicted of the City’s affordable housing programs. As the City struggles through a housing crisis, we are working hard to encourage more affordable housing – whether for ownership or rental. However, we need to ensure that residents are aware of these programs, understand eligibility requirements, and know how to apply. The improved notifications will be available in multiple languages, as is required under our city’s Language Access Ordinance.

On November 16, the San Francisco Municipal Transporatation Agency (SFMTA) launched a new mobile fare payment app that will allow riders to buy and store transit fares from their smartphones, to make it more convenient for riders to get on Muni.
With the new MuniMobile app, a rider’s fare may be purchased on most smartphone devices through a credit/debit card or PayPal account. MuniMobile, the Bay Area’s first systemwide mobile ticketing app, is now available for single-ride bus, rail, and cable car tickets. Fares can be purchased in increments of 1-day, 3-day, and 7-day passports. MuniMobile is also available for SF Access Paratransit tickets.

NEIGHBORHOOD UPDATES
In conjunction with the Planning Department’s Pavement to Parks Program, our office has met with many residents in the surrounding area over several community meetings in the past year and a half to discuss ways to improve the underutilized space located at the Francis Scott Key Annex Site (43rd Ave between Irving and Judah). The Pavement to Parks program is a collaborative effort between the San Francisco Planning Department, SF Public Works, and the SFMTA to help reimagine the potential uses of underutilized spaces in our City.
In order for the project to move forward, we needed to have the issuance of the site use permit from the San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD). The site use permit was issued on November 19. This means the Pavement to Parks team can start implementation of the proposed project in the next few weeks to convert this open space into a great community asset.
As a reminder, the project will include a community garden, a family-style barbeque and eating area, improved basketball courts, play area for children, exercise area for all ages, space for artist studios, shaded gathering space, and skate boarding elements. We understand that, overall, residents agree that improvements should be made to this underutilized space. However, we also know there have been some differences in opinion over the skate boarding elements.
Based on the discussion during the two last community meetings, the Pavement to Parks team and our office will re-evaluate the installation after a two-month trial. We will evaluate the benefit and performance of the project and address potential modifications if needed. Upon completion of the installation, which is anticipated for early 2016, neighbors will have the opportunity to finalize the hours of operation, a maintenance plan, and a calendar of programs at the site.
There will also be many opportunities for community members to participate in the installation of the project. The Pavement to Parks team will notify neighbors about upcoming community installation days at the site. Upcoming work days will include (but are not limited to):
• Gardening Day – The community will have the opportunity to help plant and water the gardening beds;• Painting Day – We invite all residents to participate in the installation of a ground mural;• Fence Decoration Day – Everyone can be an artist and help with new fence improvements.
We are committed to working with the community to ensure that this becomes a great space for everyone who lives, works, and visits the Outer Sunset. We would also like to thank all the neighbors who participated in the community meetings.
For more information about the Playland at 43rd Avenue project, please visit http://bit.ly/1FjiVNc. Please also stay tuned to our newsletter for more updates on the project, including upcoming community days when neighbors will have the opportunity to participate in the creation of Playland at 43rd Avenue. At this time, we anticipate that construction will begin in early 2016.

On November 14, volunteers from our office, Friends of the Urban Forest (FUF), and Recreation and Park Department’s Greenagers program helped 10 residents beautify and green their front yards as part of the fifth round of our Front Yard Ambassadors Program (FYAP). Through four previous rounds of this program, we have removed 4,696 square feet of concrete, which amounts to a diversion of 56,352 gallons of storm water from our combined sewer system each year. We are glad to increase that number with the additional gardens we just planted.
If you are interested in breaking up concrete and beautifying the area in front of your home, our Spring 2016 FYAP applications will reopen this month with an application deadline of January 8, 2016. Applicants must have at least five (5) households on their block to fully participate in the program. We urge you to begin talking to your neighbors if you are interested in participating!

Lake Merced West, a property owned by the City and County of San Francisco, is located between the shoreline of South Lake of Lake Merced and John Muir Drive. The site was formerly leased to the Pacific Rod and Gun Club, a private club that offered skeet and trap shooting. The site is currently undergoing a significant clean up, sponsored by the SFPUC, due to toxic sentiments on the site. The cleanup is scheduled to be completed in the early spring of 2016.
The Departments envision reactivating this site with a range of high quality opportunities for public recreation that take advantage of the lake’s unique setting and assets, and the Recreation and Park Department is proposing to issue a Request for Proposals (RFP) for the operation and management of Lake
Merced West. The Recreation and Park Commission is scheduled to consider the draft RFP at their December meetings, which will be open to the public for anyone who wishes to attend. To see the proposed terms of the draft RFP, please visit http://bit.ly/1lInmJH.
The Recreation and Park Commission will meet in room 416 of City Hall on Thursday, December 3rd at 2:00pm and Thursday, December 17th at 10:00am. For more information about the Lake Merced West meetings, please contact Recreation and Parks Property Manager, Cassandra Costello, at [email protected].

On November 21st, our office co-hosted the Larsen Playground opening ceremony with Assessor- Recorder Carmen Chu, Friends of Larsen Playground, and the Recreation & Park Department. The opening ceremony brought together more than 200 residents to celebrate the reincarnation of the old F-8 Crusader jet that delighted neighborhood kids for many years.
We would like to extend our thanks and appreciation to our partners, neighbors, donors and Recreation & Park Department staff for their support and efforts to bring back “the airplane park”, where families and children will be able to create new memories for the generations to come. The idea for bringing back the jet came from Cammy Blackstone, District 4 resident and former Legislative Aide to then Supervisor Carmen Chu. Cammy, along with resident Nano Visser, worked tirelessly for several years to make this project a success. When you are at the playground, please take a moment to look at the
beautiful mosaic tiles that were integrated into the project. These tiles are marked with the names of the generous donors who helped us bring back the jet. We thank residents for their patience during the renovation, and look forward to this playground serving many more families for the years to come.

Discover Your District: Making Sandwiches with Lou’s CaféOur office had a wonderful time learning how to make great sandwiches as part of our Discover Your District (DYD) series. Participants received some helpful tips on how to make great sandwiches, as well as how to turn Thanksgiving leftovers into the perfect meal. We then enjoyed our own handmade lunches while the owner shared the history of Lou’s Café. Lou’s Cafe is a family owned business that all began with a mother’s dream. Romana, mother of three sons, began her career catering for the Andronico’s on Irving Street. After 25 years of service, she decided it was time to chase after her dream of opening up her own food establishment, Lou’s Cafe.
Our office would like to thank Lou’s Café for hosting this great event with our office! For more information about Lou’s Café (1508 Taraval Street at 25th Avenue), please visit: http://tbrodeth1.photobiz.com.

In the wake of cold winter rains and the encroaching El Niño storm patterns, be sure to prepare for flooding by stocking
up on extra food and supplies, such as sandbags, to protect homes and businesses!
Mellow’s Café owner and San Francisco native, Terry Zhang, opened his shop in early June of this year. Though it has only been serving the neighborhood for a few months, Mellow has already gained many regulars who come in to grab a coffee before they jump on the L-Taraval or stay and pick something to eat off the surprisingly robust sandwich and panini menu. Terry says that Mellow’s beverages and food items were inspired in part by his favorite items from the cafes he frequented while growing up in the city.
It has been Terry’s lifelong dream to open a café, and District 4 residents can now reap the benefits of his ambitions becoming reality. Though Terry claims he is still adapting to the neighborhood, it is obvious as he greets his customers by name that the Outer Sunset is now home. Whether you require a quick cup of quality coffee before heading to work or a cozy place to study, Mellow’s Cafe is here to serve your needs.
