we will have its lawn and every day we will have it on line so they can better engage with the community, but if it is the responsibility of the supervisors to make sure officers are operating with procedure. there shouldn't have to be an implementation strategy for everything in the police department. >> maybe we can see what has been the changes. i wonder is this an opportunity to provide input, or is this

something you would like to see or think about, but not of kuwait -- not a point to provide input. >> we have been meeting on this for four months. there has been protraction on all of these things. we have been sensitive about everybody wants to contribute. if we want to put it in another section, that would be a different thing. we would have meetings going back again with folks that like it as it is. if we are missing something, we

can add things, but if we are going to change something, we will have to go back. there has been a lot of thought along the way. i know he has really driven this project. >> i just wanted to note there reason it is on for discussion and not action is the charter requires 10 days of notice, so in order to meet the notice requirement, we put it on for discussion for a future meeting, which we assumed was going to be december 28, but it is on for

an end now discussion today. >> i think is important to get a commission decided to have the vote at the meeting, because it was the largest meeting were the most discussion happened. you will know early on if it is ok with them. >> this is just a suggestion. i particularly like the use highlighted every day -- that the youth is highlighted in a positive and pro-active way. i think you have a lead by example with this piece. i think it is great to have more opportunities, and there are

probably a ton of examples you can draw from as you put together this manual. my only thing is you mentioned language access. it is not a hard and fast suggestion, but it might be helpful to mention for people who english is not their primary language, but if it is late in the game -- >> that is something i cannot believe i did not think of. >> i am sure the people would welcome that. >> if you can give us the language that would be appropriate, i see that belongs in there. if you can find the language to put in there, and running it by mour city attorney, i think that

is absolutely appropriate. >> it will not be a big, long chains. >> it does not sound like something you have to get permission for. >> there are many that say what about, and you have an epiphany. >> a lot of this is what should come natural to our officers. they learn about the community. that is why they joined the police department. it is great that new codified it, but is this something that can be used as a performance measure when evaluating officers? you are not going out to the community. you are just responding. is there any way to encourage

the officers to make a performance measure? >> absolutely. if some officer has not been clear, and i think most of the officers are, but there is always room for improvement. this is what we are here to do, and a supervisor should call the officer in, and it starts off with may i remind you, and if you get somebody that is intransigent, you tell them, it is a rule. you need to be able to get there, so i think the community expects their police department to be this way, and it is reasonable. >> is there anything further?

is there any public comment regarding the general order 1.08, the draft general order? >> good evening once again. it is not clear to me what this is. are you coming up with a memo they are going to have to recite some of what is going on here? is this something he is going to love to pull out and recite and that he is going to have to get an okay from the board of supervisors bowman -- the board of supervisors. what are you trying to do? and regarding community policy,

what do we not now intends to do? it is not clear to remain the reagan -- it is not clear to me. are you going to force them to carry it around every time something and who takes place? it does not make a lot of sense to me in terms of where the burden is between the resident and a police officer, so i would like that explained to me so it will be explained to thousands of people watching this tv show. i think the chief of police is doing a great job, but i think

also the commission of board of supervisors is attempting to put them in a hoop in terms of what the police department is supposed to do as opposed to what their actual job is, and i would like some clarification and i would like this expanded in terms of bringing out some booklets in terms of what we are supposed to see. i thank you for your time, and i would like to see some documents on a line. quex hannity should come for all officers. they are supposed to be members of the community. they are not going to walk around with some iran the

carbon. >> it is not clear remain that is what has taken place. >> i cannot help if if if is not clear to you. >> it is not clear to a lot of people. he is going to have to carry some extra documents. i am still on my time. that is the clarification of would like to see, and i would like to see some documents and have them on the table. i thank you. >> any further public comment regarding community policing? >> the department's general orders are on line as public documents, and it is a large

binder no one carries around, but is essentially the policies and procedures that govern the police department. he is available on-line. it is about 2 inches thick, and this will become one of them. >> any public comment? hearing none, next item. >> item four, public comment on item 6 including a public vote on whether to hold item 6 in closed session. >> public comment regarding whether or not we go into closed session regarding personnel measures pursuant. any comments regarding that? hearing none, please call the next item.

>> item 5, a vote on whether to hold the next item in closed session. >> we are now going to move into closed session. closed session.

do you like this top? that's so gay. really? yeah. it's totally gay. you know, you really shouldn't say that. say what? well, say that something is "gay" when you mean it's bad. it's insulting. what if every time something was bad, everybody said, "ugh. that's so girl wearing a skirt as a top." oh. you are. ha ha. shut up. those are cute jeans, though.

>> good afternoon, everyone. i would like to begin by thanking all of you for joining us here today. today, we celebrated a number of things, among them, that we completed demolition of the old transbay terminal and that our foundation construction work is well underway, as you can see, from the surrounding site. i would like to thank and acknowledge our congressional delegation that was extremely instrumental in helping us fully fund phase one and get the $400 million that is allow us to do the construction work that you see here today. i want to thank nancy pelosi, senator dianne feinstein, and senator barbara boxer. i would also like to thank and acknowledge our mayor, mayor ed lee, who is here with us today.

since mayor lee's early days in city hall, he has been a strong supporter of the transbay project and everything that the transbay represents. housing, improve air quality, the alleviation of congestion, and a better quality of life for all bay area san franciscans. i would also like to add that since coming into office, we have created over 1000 jobs for this project. so, thank you, mr. lee. in addition, i want to thank our border directors. jane kim is here today. you will be hearing from her. i do not know if mayer brown is here, but it is important to it knowledge him. after all, he started the project many years ago.

you will be hearing more about that in a moment. it will include thousands of new residential units, parks, open space, shops, retail, restaurant, and so forth. you will be hearing a lot about that from the mayor and jane. in addition, the men and women working on our construction site. you can see some of them here today. they are very dedicated and have been working hard on the project. i want to thank them for their hard work today. i am thrilled to report the project is on budget and on schedule. with respect to the demolition, over 55,000 hours of work completed without any accident or injury. so thank you for such a great job. in addition, we recycled over 92,000 cubic yards of concrete. that is enough to fill 28

olympic-sized swimming pools. in addition to that, we recycled 200,000 tons of steel. so we are really doing our job. when we reopening, we will be lede gold certified. without further ado, i want to introduce district 6 supervisor jane kim. [applause] >> thank you so much for inviting us to this great event. as the district supervisor for the south of market, i know that my constituents and myself are particularly interested in the impact that the transit center will have for district 6, and for the city of san francisco, and the bay area. i want to recognize mayor willie brown. come on board. -- for board.

-- foward. rward. people have been working on this for decades, but i get to comment for the fun part. it is truly exciting. a reappointed and many of the things that will come out of this, including jobs. something that our city desperately needs. two issues that i care deeply about, which is affordable housing and pedestrian safety, two things that our office is taking on. this will produce 4000 new units of housing. it will run a transit center in which will host the ac transit, bart, muni, and hopefully high- speed rail. along with that, we are including many plans for increasing pedestrian safety in the area as well, which is something that has been a large issue for our district.

i want to thank the tjpa, and one of the members that are here today, gabriel metcalf. as well, the staff of the tjpa. and they give to the help of our director, maria i-80-kaplan. also recognizing our many partners because this project would not be possible with just one entity. i want to recognize john ramp of the planning department, fred black from the redevelopment department. many people are coming together to make sure this transit center will not only create open space, affordable housing, pedestrian safety, business and jobs, but will be something that the city of san francisco can be proud of. in the not too distant future, these five blocks on both sides will be bustling centers of activities for neighbors and

residents alike. as maria has also pointed out, this project is projected to add over 145,000 new jobs by 2030. locating these jobs directly adjacent to transit not only grows our economy but also reduces congestion and improve the environment by making transportation easier and more convenient. at this time, i want to introduce our mayor of san francisco, one that i have the distinct honor and pleasure of representing our city with, someone who has had a long history of public service, and understand the many develop lovell is of -- that our city provides, from dpw to contacting, many of the things that are involved in this project here, mayor ed lee. >> thank you, supervisors,

maria. thank you so much for being here. i got nervous when a saidlede gol lede gold. why thank you, everyone, for being here. fred blackwell, jenn, ken, john ram. the planning department has been doing all of the planning with the different agencies, the different challenges that are here. there are a lot of challenges that have been presented by this complex, futuristic, a beautifully designed building. there is just going to be such a transformation of the whole downtown and community because

of this project. but it is also because of a transit center to replace what was here was the center, and their times, a transportation hub for the bay area when the old terminal was here. and so, in the vision of our city, and when maria took this up, she knew, because she had worked for a number of different mayors throughout the process, envisioning what this would mean to the future of our city, that we do need a brand new transit center that is not only modern, not only has all the amenities that you heard, whether it is housing, office, so forth. that it represents the future of our city. because at the center of it, the box for the high-speed rail. that is where we ultimately want to land. i want to make sure that this is the center hub for all of

northern california. that is where the high-speed rail will end. it will also represent, as supervisor kim said, 145,000 jobs. take a look at the covers and mason workers behind me. they know they have a job for a long time and they cannot afford to live in the city without a good paying jobs. and we have more jobs to come as a result of this. this is part of our economic engine. it is also the story we will tell as to why the federal government has to -- they just have to pass the transportation authorization extension plan. without that, this would be challenged, and doral drive would be challenged. every major transportation mode of any significance in the bay area would be challenged. we're already hearing from caltrans about the nervousness they have if that transportation

reauthorization is not done quickly. so we need that on the national level. that is why we're continuing to use this as an example of how we as the city can work together with city agencies, community- based agencies, our friends in labor and business, to promote one of the most beautiful, very challenging complex, but it will be a beautiful addition to the old downtown skyline and functionality. so today we are celebrating this milestone where all of the demolition has been completed. that is the finished phase one. it has been remarkable. not one word-related accident has happened in all of these thousands of hours put together. by the way, of all the work our that were mentioned, over 80% of those jobs went to nine county residents in the bay area for these jobs.

all the demolition, carpentry work, removal of terror. now we begin these pilings, these five games. there will be 500 of these going in. so this is more than just a beautiful project. it is job producing. it is the most important thing we can be doing while we look at and shake our heads as to why other cities cannot do this or why the state is not promoting more of these types of transit- related projects. that is our future of the city. that is also why we need to continue talking about and making sure we make sure that not only does the high-speed rail and appear, but we promote the completion of the central subway. despite some political shenanigans, as i call it, for creating more doubt, we do not have out in the city family, nor in the state family of agencies. time and again, they have

approved the central subway as part of our future that links north and south. you have to ask one simple question. where is all the new housing being developed in our city? it is in visitation valley, hunter's point shipyard, mission bay. how do you connect everyone through the city? from the subway. and in and around this transit hub. so we have to connect everybody. we have to make sure it is done right. we would so be regretting any doubts that we cannot complete the central subway. there is no doubt in my mind and we will get that, grant agreement going by the end of the year. so for anyone to challenge that at this time, i think it is political shenanigans and really ticks on kind of a challenge to our future that i would think would be disastrous. so with that, i want to congratulate everyone here for finishing this space, and also to announce that we have for your handouts today, the

district plans -- transit plan, the plan that will detail something that i know john ram and the whole team has been working really hard on in detail, is to present this plan, and for you to see all the buildings, all the 300 acres of open space and parks presented here. the difference basis both privately and publicly invested in. again, this has been part of the redevelopment approach to this using tax increment to provide investment funding and using our public dollars in the most maximum way to make sure there is private dollars invested in the buildings, not only in the district, but surrounding it. you will have thousands of new homes that will be built right here along with the open space. it is a wonderful design. i invite you to get a copy of this. i hope there are enough copies to go around. it is the transit district plan that you should focus on.

that is the design that we are building right here. i look for to put my initials of immortality on to this beam in a few minutes. [applause] >> again, we do have copies of the district rent-a-center plan. -- center plan. we will be releasing the plan which will allow the development of many high rises in the neighborhood, both in the transbay and in surrounding neighborhoods, that will bring funding to the tjpa to continue funding which will bring railroads in, infrastructure that is badly needed in the neighborhood, funding for parks and many other amenities. i invite you to look at this transit district plan brochure that was put together by the planning department. now i want to invite mayor lee to sign the eye beam that will

be coming in as part of the shoring wall. mayor lee. >> should i leave room for anybody else? what is today's date? how about that. all right.
