necessarily. in terms of having all longer suspension or -- a longer suspension. if this comes up again, we have got -- >> i would think that would have to be in some new document. >> that is fine. >> we can include that as a term in the penalty phase. would you be amenable to extending the number of days? i am leaning toward expanding -- extending. >> that would be -- you're going to have to ask him if he understands it. i do not know how to get around that. >> if we do a termination held in abeyance, he is right to have

to learn about it on his own. -- going to have to learn about it on his own. my biggest concern is does he understand the rules and procedures? one thing i would like to add the as i would like to see him spend two hours with lt. yick reviewing the rules and procedures and give him a 10 question exam to make sure he understands them. i get the feeling he does not. that is something i would recommend as part of this commissions disposition. i do not think we should terminate him if he does do the work but we have to make sure he knows what he is doing at theater stance the ramification of his next mistake would be termination. >> i wanted to point out that under your interim rules for patrols t special officers, once

a patrol special or an assistant polk -- patrol officer has been punished for violations, such individuals shall not receive any other punishment for the same incident. however, prior sustained allegations of misconduct or imposition of disciplinary action may be considered in a subsequent disciplinary proceeding or proceedings for purposes of fixing penalty. if there is in the future another violation that is sustained, whatever the penalty is for that new and fraction can take into account whatever penalty you impose today. the fact that there has been prior specifications sustained against this officer. and so the concept of termination held at the band's

full soleil in this context because you can always take into consideration the prior disciplinary history when you are imposing discipline in the subsequent case. >> i wanted to ask also because we do this with our officers if he has any prior sustained allegations. >> no. >> do you want to set the disposition given you have heard this matter at the hearing? >> among suspension? president mazzucco: how about the training aspect of this, retraining? commissioner kingsley: is that

enforceable to make a requirement? >> these are different and then personnel where you had charter of limitations on the penalty. here with the concurrence of the officer is i understand it. the commissioner can order further training but the chief could also order further training. >> given the fact we sustained five of the allegations it should be written in the training aspect. we do that with officers anyway. i do not see why we would not. commissioner kingsley: is there a motion? i move that we suspend assistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara for 30 days, 10 days to be served immediately and

then the remainder starting on, what day? >> the 11th which will be next week. >> in that instance, to wait and have the entire 30 days start on january 11. >> that is 30 days total. >commissioner kingsley: yes, sir. >> does that include sundays? >> 30 working days. commissioner kingsley: a thirty day period. whenever days you would work during that time. is there an issue around that from a legal standpoint? >> working days and calendar days are completely different things in this context. the commission needs to specify which it means. if you are doing working days, that will be a suspension for approximately six weeks on the

calendar. i do not know how these schedules are counted. it is a different thing. commissioner kingsley: the motion was for 30 days, calendar days. and second, aassistant patrol special officer ernest tachihara will engage in training with inspecter -- lieutenant yeck. and answer a ten question examination after that tutoring. or educational process takes place and that should be

completed within the next 30 calendar days. >> i wish to bring up i will be out of the state for the next 30 days. it will have to be after february 11. the end of suspension. president mazzucco: it can i go back to work until you have passed that test. >> i will not be here to attend this class. you are putting a date on when i should attend this class. >> you bring a good point. commissioner kingsley: were you planning on being out of the country in any event for the next -- >> i was. do you want to know the reason? commissioner kingsley: no. it is not relevant. >> this was made in advance of this meeting. commissioner kingsley: it would not be working during that time anyway. the suspension -- you would not be working during that time after the 11th, while you are

out of town. >> she said the suspension would began if i was suspended, i could leave town or do anything i want, i just could not work. is that correct? commissioner kingsley: the intention around this penalty is a suspension away from work. if you already are scheduled for vacation leave for personal leave for some of your leave of your work and you're not working during that time, then the suspension, i would propose -- >> i volunteered to give you the information because of the class, i did not want to miss class but i did not intend to give you this information so you could bounce the suspension. commissioner kingsley: when you getting back -- are you getting back? >> the first week of february. commissioner kingsley: ok. so let's have the suspension

start on february 15. >> excuse me. i know the objective is to or teach will lessen. why do want to create a hardship? pacommissioner kingsley: and is what a suspension is preadapted -- that is what a suspension is. ko, >> you do not know when you are coming back? >> i understand it is 30 days suspension but i am saying with his personal family -- it is not my choice. i made this before this hearing. that is 60 days i can't work. commissioner kingsley: i will understand what you're saying. bukata commentecomments from ot

commissioners? only in agreement? the training also takes place between february 15, 2012, and march 15, 2012, to be completed by march 15, 2012. does that work for the lieutenant schedule as well? i see a nod. >> the suggestion is the training would be as arranged by the department. i understand a la tenet may not be in that position to provide that training. -- the lieutenant may not be in the position to provide that training. commissioner kingsley: is there

a second for that resolution? >> second. commissioner kingsley: all in favor? >> you want roll-call vote? >commissioner kingsley: please. >> on the motion. training is arranged by the department. how do you vote? president mazzucco: aye. vice president marshall: aye. commissioner chan: aye. commissioner kingsley: aye. commissioner terman: aye. >> the motion carries. 5-0. >> will i receive all of this in writing as to what has happened today? commissioner kingsley: you will. thank you. >> item #seven. public comment on items.

[applause] we interviewed a lot of people, and then you showed up. the chief said year, and i think you are the youngest. you are incredible. i cannot thank you enough. you have a great personality. you have gone really far in the police department, and we appreciate it. secretary lt. falvey: thank you. president mazzucco: i would like to return tonight in honor of

>> i am the executive director of the san francisco redevelopment agency. thank you for coming. we are here to celebrate and acknowledging the spirit of this block of kucom.

-- nucom. we have a close collaboration with the mta, dpw, and leadership from our elected officials. thank you. the investments that we can see here today in the public realm, incredible streetscape improvements, and then in the private rel., through the local -- low-cost loan program for homeowners on this block to update and maintain their homes, demonstrates the mayor's commitment to revitalizing our city's neighborhoods, starting here in the bayview hunters point community. in doing so, creating local jobs for san francisco residents. thank you, mr. mayor. with that, i turn it over to you. [applause] >> thank you for the introduction, tiffany.

thank you for coming down to our brand new nucom avenue. for supervisor cohen who was with me, our public utilities agency, redevelopment agency, public works, environmental protection agency, as well as others, if santa claus has a choice on which st. he will visit first, i think he will come to nucom avenue first. it is a well-designed street, one that we started -- 16 of these all over the city. this became one of the most important ones, where we are getting the blessing of our planning department working in close collaboration with our

model blocks program to design these streets to make sure that we do the most environmentally friendly but also resident- family types of things. you will notice some of the good treatment here, and some is hard to see, and of course, it is going to rain. instead of going into our storm sewers, this will help to feed into the plants here. whether they are on islands or the new, permeable landscaping. this will slow traffic down, increased the beauty of the street, make it much more engaging for our residents, and also helps with the trees that have been replanted here to increase the beauty of the street, but making it that much

more enlivened with greene streets. at the same time, it took a few more months than anticipated. it was expected to take four months. when dpw dug into the main sewer line, they discovered some major work that needed to be done. they wanted to make sure that the sewer line would work perfectly, as well as each of their feeds into homes. while infrastructure is sometimes hard to imagine or see, you will be -- you are standing on the street that will probably be the best for decades to come. you will have an unstoppable sewer. no longer those backups. the fire chief will have a pleasant time going down the street to make sure that the

services are there. as i said earlier, this is a beautiful project coming in, not only the designed for infrastructure, but the work force that was put together. i want to thank the contractors that worked so well with our citybuild program. 18 of that group are president spirit within that work force, they completed 43% of the work hours on this street. that is a very good standard, the highest standard we have had. we made that commitment at the beginning that our local folks would be hired, san francisco residents will be hired, and they did very well. of course we can do better, but with the 16 beautiful streets -- we have eight of them already completed. that includes van ness and we

have five under construction. three or four others under planning, like market street. from the puc to redevelopment, planning,vs department, police department working gear along with the contractors, they all have to be thanked. the most important people i want to acknowledge today are the residents who live here on the street. thank you for your cooperation. q were working with us on day one to embrace the idea that we could use infrastructure to enliven our streets. i see a lot of smiling faces. you want to see santa come here, too. you are not displaced. this is your home.

you what this street to reflect the duty of all of san francisco. thank you for working closely with everybody, thank you for your patience, thank you for welcoming us in to share in this new street. [applause] >> thank you, mr. mayor. supervisor malia cohen is a staunch advocate for her residence, as well as the residents of district 10. we thank her for her leadership on this project and we are pleased to partner along with her and the residents. >> thank you, good morning, everyone. seven months ago, many of us were standing here doing a groundbreaking ceremony. here we are making sure that our walk and talk were in line with each other. i told you that this was the

beginning of a rebirth for a new neighborhood. here we are along an infamous street. those of us that know this area knows that there had been good and bad activity. here we are one block off of third street, celebrating the work of san franciscans, a shining example of our local hired initiative, and i want to the knowledge the public partners that make this a reality. we have new roads, and everyone is here, a physical manifestation of the partnership, not just on the city sought but the contractors, private citizens, working to make san francisco better, one street at a time. i am very happy to be here. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor.

infrastructure is the backbone of our city. we could not have done this incredible project without the hard work of our partners at dpw. [applause] >> let me join the mayor and supervisor for thanking everyone for coming out. i do not know how many of you know what the street used to look like, but this is a huge change for the community, a victory. streets around san francisco, we will continue to make sure we have sidewalk landscaping. these gardens you see, when it rains, they will absorb water and reduce the amount of water that will end up in our sewer plant. the papers will also collect water. as much of -- as half of the

rainfall will be a absorbed into our landscape and continue to sustain a healthy street and help the soil and reduce the amount that goes to our sewer plant. the design had been changed. the lights are human scale, they are not the tall ones that go overhead. they are designed to fit the neighborhoods. the plans are also from around the area, so they will do well, low maintenance, but with the newcomb avenue residents, they will help to make sure that they do well. this is a victory. i want to thank the staff from dpw, the project manager, and all the landscape architects who worked hard to make this a huge success. i am from the neighborhood, so i am looking forward to seeing many of these streets become

more sustainable and enjoyable. thank you. [applause] >> thank you. the sfpuc is a leader in environmental stewardship, at the forefront of environmental practices, pushing us to adopt stormwater management guidelines, clean energy. this street is a physical manifestation of the hard work from the residence and a great partnership with city departments, including sfpuc general manager ed harrington. >> [applause] it is a wonderful day touk% here. when we do these kinds of programs, we have to have folks that will take care of them. the neighborhood taking care of it is important to us. stunning to see all of this cooperation. as we rebuild our water system in san francisco, we cannot just build bigger treatment plants.

we need permeable pavement. 400,000 gallons of water a year will be going into the ground, as opposed to the treatment plants. if we can do that, we can provide water, provide a good environment, as well as provide good water for the people of this city. [applause] >> as the other speakers have indicated, this could not have happened without the leadership and direction from the residence on this block. speaking on behalf of the residence, sandy. [applause] >> i am also bringing the core that is important to this project. members of the newcomb avenue block have done a great job and we want to clear up some misconceptions about what happens here. i have been a resident in the

bayview for 25 years. i have been here a very long time. very few have preceded me. this project originated with redevelopment. redevelopment a star and our eyes, and we were wondering if they could ever came out. they came out with this project, and it was their idea to help redevelop our street. with the neighbors on the spot, we were able to win the award. with all the neighbors, and redevelopment, -- and i also want to thank one whirled designed -- this project came to light. we were able to get it on paper, and from there, it went to reality, with the help of the other departments. i also wanted knowledge the core members of the group that worked

on this project. mardina, nimichelle, juan fuent, anna smith. we met with various residents on the block, at my house, month after month, to make this project work. there is so much love that goes out to redevelopment again, for all of the effort we put forth. it took six years to do this. some people said that it would never happen. in my heart and soul, i knew we were going to get this done. today is the day, as sunny as it is, you can see the wonderful and beautiful result of all the neighbors that have backed us through all of this, as well as the other departments who have helped us out. we want to thank you.
