project approval. i think it is very important. as it is, we are hamstrung around the land use decisions because of the nature of the development agreement. to the extent that the issues we have concerns about can be dealt with, hearing project approval would help for the best outcome. that is commissioner fong: commissioner antonini. commissioner antonini: i am generally happy with the development agreement, and we have to remember it is a development for a very specific, very large project, but it is not meant to solve all the health problems or other problems within san francisco, which are a larger subject. we are cognizant of all these other needs, and these can still be addressed in the future. the development agreement can only do with so many things. i think it might be instructive when we come back to have some

comparison to some of the things other hospitals of comparable size -- there are too many to compare them to, but you think about stanford, recently, has had approvals regarding the hospital down there, the babies hospital, i believe, and a fairly significant hospital which went through a process not unlike this. but we have to kind of look at what sort -- what development agreement was in place there. what sort of things were given to the city. i think you will find when you evaluate this against others that it is a very appropriate and well-written development agreement relative to some of the others that have happened in the past. those are some of my main comments. i'm not sure what the, about a workshop will be. i do not know that it would be part of our format. is that what is being implied?

>> in my opinion, it does not have to be at the commission, if that is what you are asking. i just think there should be a public meeting. does not have to be at the commission. that just to be clear and to be honest, we are looking at an april 26 date to bring the project back to you for action. this commission does not approve the development agreement. you make recommendations. i would compare it to a piece of legislation. what you often have in front of you, where you act on it with recommendations to the board. that is the same role you play on the da, which you have always played. it is certainly within your rights entirely to act on the development agreement with recommendations for changes to

the board. one of those recommendations could be that they have a public workshop of sorts as well. >> that might be the most appropriate. commissioner sugaya: i would speak against another session here, particularly if it bounces our approval beyond the end of april. i am not sure how our calendar is. if the rest of the commissioners feel that is of benefit, i am certainly always interested in hearing things, but it would seem that the board of supervisors is the approving agency, as was pointed out. certainly, those questions could be answered at a discussion before it comes before the body that is approving it, but we have had comments. we will have comments again at the end of this month. i think any other comments that commissioners may have, certainly, they could submit in writing at another time, and i

may do the same thing. i think it is important to move forward, and again, we still have to hear about the comments on the environmental impact report, which will be part of the approval process. commissioner moore: the only thing i wanted to ask was as we go forward, the comment made by someone in the audience was to consider adding a xax -- cac for the cathedral hill area. i think that would be extremely beneficial, given that there are a large number of neighborhoods who have spoken about it. i think it would be very much in the public interest. commissioner sugaya: let me just understand procedurally, then. if this was the informational presentation and we are going to initiate the other stuff and it will come back on the 28th, and all of it will still be on the

agenda, but between now and then, will we have any of this stuff we have talked about? desires for additional site consideration, the cac commissioner moore just meidered between now and then or not? in other words, are we going to get a redrafted development agreement or looking at the same old one we have now? >> there are a number of options we have. we have a series of recommendations from commissioners. we would need to talk to tpmc on some of them. we could bring back a response on the 26. we could give you a status report between now and then, which i think i would recommend. it seems logical that you do not just get it sprung on you on the 26, and we could make a commitment, give it at least a week or so. but we could get back to you

with a response on every item. i see some odds -- nods, so we will take that as direction? commissioner fong: i think there is agreement among the items brought up today, if a discussion could be had on the project. commissioner sugaya: if that is the case, i have a list of other things, which the commission may or may not be in agreement with, but i will raise them as questions. we do not need answers right now. we mentioned the psychiatric needs. what is the relationship between healthy san francisco and cpmc with respect to charity care and that kind of thing? >> the san francisco health service system testified that they are in negotiations with cpmc whatever.

i would like to know whether that is a proper part of the development agreement. it does not seem like it is something the planning code will address, and if it is expanding or going beyond what the development agreement would be able to address. i would like to know why there are specific references to the tenderloin in such things as clinics and where moneys might be spent and how that priority came up versus other communities in said francisco, since cpmc will be providing assistance to clinics all over the city. what is it called, the one that is up in chinatown? north beach? yes, and other similar organizations that might be, for example, located in the mission. i would like to know why, other than the fact that it is right

next door and has had probably a lobbying effort going on to address their needs, why they were singled out. that is my question. and perhaps we could have a status report in memo form on the plan. let's see -- already asked about defaults, got an answer to that. oh, and when cpmc is required to report back to the planning director, and i think the public health director -- i think you said the public health commission would have a hearing or at least an informational presentation. i think the planning commission should have the same period and let's see -- that is about all, accept -- except maybe we should

just kill the brt -- i think the and let's see -- that is about all except maybe we should kill the brt. commissioner antonini: just a correction -- earlier remarks, i misspoke. it is the packard hospital in palo alto, lucille packard. part of stanford medical center, which just had a huge rebuilding which in terms of gross dollar amounts may be larger than the proposed cal pacific project, but it is a good indicator, and we can look at some compare herbalist -- comparables as to charity care, and i compliment

the mayor's office and apartment for working together to put together a great presentation. >> commissioners, the motion on the floor for approved the initiation of the general plan amendments for the cathedral hill campus and the st. luke's campus. on that motion -- commissioner antonini: aye. commissioner borden: aye. commissioner miguel: aye. commissioner moore: aye. commissioner sugaya: no. commissioner wu: no. commissioner fong: aye. >> that motion passes 5-2 with commissioners sugaya and wu voting against. thank you, commissioners. commissioner fong: this meeting is adjourned. we have a whole nother calendar, and we have been in these

chairs since 10:00 a.m. we're going to take a short break and then pick that up. thank you.

gosh we are here to take the talk about safety on the transportation system. earlier this year, the board of directors adopted a new strategic plan, and while the mission is to move people around san francisco, the number one goal of that strategic plan is safety. that is because no matter where you were in terms of moving around whether you are on foot, on a bike, driving in a car, riding on muni, you need to be able to do so safely and get where you're going safely. we need to make sure the transportation system is clean, and efficient, attractive. first and foremost, it needs to be safe. thanks to a great partnership we

have with the san francisco police department and the great work they do every day to keep the entire city safe, including the part of the city that exists within our muni system, crime in almost every category is down. almost across the board, every category of non-violent crime is down in the transit system. the the problem is, there is one area where we are going in the wrong direction. that is larceny. it has to do largely with devices like these where people are not being attentive with devices like these and other people are taking the advantage of that. that is the one area, overall, a good story that we have to tell that is left to be addressed. that is what we are here to talk about today. we are launching an awareness campaign.

you will hear from the chief and the commander, being aware of your surroundings. we want to raise awareness for the public, for all of the public in terms of being safe while you're traveling and walking in the street. it is a matter of being aware of your surroundings and trying to keep the transportation system safe and enjoyable for everyone. what you see behind us are some posters that are already up. and we can really raise the awareness of folks that you need to be mindful when you are writing in our system. we want everyone to get where they're going on time and efficiently, but we want them to get there safely. and with all of their personal belongings with them. i want to thank you all for coming and i will turn it over to the great chief of police.

>> thank you. again, if you look at this artwork, this is almost exactly how it goes. this woman is not paying attention, but somebody else is. he has his ipad, not paying attention, someone else is. what we have been telling everyone, i really want to thank the director for his help with this, you have to pay attention to who is around you and who is looking. it seems every time we have a robbery or theft in san francisco, it involves an electronic device. to lose six of these devices a day, it seems like every time we go over the robbery counts, it seems like an electronic devices involved.

as ed said, is important to know who is around you, who is paying attention. you can really draw the analogy when you are looking down and not paying attention, it is like taking $300 out of the atm and touting it without paying attention. please pay attention to these ads, we really appreciate the media covering this today to get the word out and we appreciate muni. we want everybody to be safe, safe as you move across the city. and we want you to keep your belongings and stay connected. >> just to reinforce that, i encourage anyone to look around and see how many people have their heads down and they're looking at their device, seeing

how inattentive they are. you can walk by and accidentally bump people, they are not paying attention. it is easy to get absorbed with the great media we have at our fingertips and block out surroundings. it is dangerous and not worth losing your device or jeopardize in your safety over it. the awareness is very important. the main way that we keep the system safe is through our engagement which and the san francisco police department. -- engagement with the san francisco police department. we are lucky that we have one of the best of the command staff working with us right now. she manages the enforcement arm of the mta including the san francisco police officers that work and ride the buses.

they are largely responsib to be how to be safe when learning how to ride on the system. >> first of all, i really want to thank director for this campaign and putting in j. resources behind it. a little bit of what we do on the mta side of the police department, everybody reports an incident and it comes to us. i read every single related report. it gets disseminated to the district station captains. they look over the constant data and they develop enforcement plans that assist our city in combating crime and

incidents on me. -- on muni. we have officers dedicated solely to the mta. they ride in uniforms and plain clothes. we also have k-9 units. i can't say more, they do with our transit system. we're down 30% in crime and the transit system. as the director said, the only place where we can do a little bit better are larceny crimes. that is what this campaign really is all about. i don't want to beat a dead horse in terms of reiterating this, but we can't say enough.

perhaps don't use the white earbuds. opportunistic people look for those opportunities and no that it means iphone. if you lose one of these devices, and do what you can't disconnect your personal information from these devices. if something is taken from you, don't go after the suspect. just look, pay attention, and get as the description as you can and, in 11. he will be there to take this information and after had the suspect.

>> a pretty straightforward message, grateful for those of you covering this. they provide to my family and friends, everyone in our system and in our city to make sure that they get to where they want to go. they make themselves vulnerable to theft of our system anywhere. will be happy to take questions. thank you all for coming. >> [inaudible] >> i will use an example. just the other day, i was on one of the trains and i got on the trains, it wasn't a very full train. halas of almost 90% of the

people were living out at smart phones are electronic devices. what typically happens is, it is an ihpone. -- iphone. the look for the perfect opportunity, snatched the device and away they go. the worst thing we can do is engage the perpetrator because that leads to a more serious crime. that is typically what we see. they see the opportunity, they seize it. it cannot give criminal the opportunity. >> [inaudible] >> always, i think we can look at common sense with that and really, anywhere right mirador,

for instance. -- near a door, for instance. grabbing the device and exiting the vehicle very quickly. >> would you edifies someone with a smart phone to set elsewhere? >> the middle of the bus would be preferred. my other devices to just not use it. why you're not being attentive, you are creating an opportunity. >> [inaudible] >> as a matter of fact, last week we had a cellphone that was the lead with gps on that. we tracked the phone, got the suspect, and many other items of stolen property in the car that

he was arrested and. the car itself had been boosted, there was a license plate crime. he pretty good case started with the cell phone gps that was trackable. >> if i have a cellphone with gps that is stolen -- >> as best as we can. if we have the staffing available, we are about catching bad guys. >> of the recovery rate of these devices is not good. if you lose your device, you have lost your device. i mean, it is whatever the market will bear. these are a commodity that are traded. being used, the person that was

the owner of the phone could tell that it was taken from them and in use. they do that in australia and we're working to see if we can get something like that locally. >> [inaudible] >> thank you.
