4:00 pm
heard that was brought up was having joint training between young people and police officers. even if it is just like a community event where you talk about how to talk to each other. that would be a good topic to have. i wanted to give that to the police commission as well as something to consider, trading with young people and with police officers. >> is there any other commissioners who would like to, based on what they heard, give recommendations? >> thank you for your cooperation. i appreciate it to know we will be able to work together to provide better service. i look forward to working with you guys as well as sfpd. have a good evening.
4:01 pm
>> use commissioners? >> i do not have an officer in my school but from hearing public comment, i think it is great some do have good relationships. if there could be or there already is some sort of safety training with the kids, that could not just be about relationships between the police officers and the kids which would be the greater goal but also safety training with all of those issues that are police- related. it might be helpful to benefit the safety of the kids. >> hello, everybody. thank you for being patient. i would like to make a recommendation that, at the beginning of every school year,
4:02 pm
when the standards are being laid out, and all of the students are there, it will be nice if the captains or the person or whoever is in charge introduces themselves to the students. tell them about their expectations. set the tone earlier for all the student body. not just the ones who cause the trouble but the ones who do not. i think that will be effective and i am sure we will be able to collaborate because i know there is usually a welcoming assembly. police officers could make rounds and say hello and the pro-active to provide adequate service. so we can continue to decrease these numbers. i would also like to mention that it is free. that would be one of my recommendations. >> any other use commissioners?
4:03 pm
-- youth commissioners? >> i think one thing we want to follow up on or make some impact in our community. for example, one of our goals is to distribute a pamphlet. you can have a record of how many you do or maybe the report about what young people say about the commission, making an annual report so we can communicate with each other on a regular basis. maybe like a task force between youth and police. just a more concrete policies of actual groups and that we can
4:04 pm
continue this work. >> i would say that what i was getting from this was everybody wants more engagement but this was a positive message. just sing all the programs they offer and all of the ways to interact with the community, it is different than seeing a lot of pictures of police brutality from other cities. i think that san francisco has the potential to have a positive relationship. >> thank you for coming out tonight. i notice 10:13 but thank you. when i came here in here tonight i thought it would be a complete a bashing of the police but after tonight i am happy to see the respect a lot
4:05 pm
of people had for the fishing program, the outdoor program. while there might be some things we could fix, i would like to thank you very much for all of the programs. >> i would also like to echo some of my colleagues recommendations overall, if we can, when i do provide my suggestions, and keep in mind some typo follow up for the police department or for the police commission. in some ways, i know that each recommendation has the capacity to fulfill it, maybe more immediate and others. if we can give some what of a
4:06 pm
follow up for our recommendation, that would be great. give this a time line so we can expect it. overall, i would like to believe that we share some commonality on reducing recidivism rates or prevention in general. given that i would like to believe we share that commonality, i believe it is imperative for us to become better communicators, as was said today. i know one concrete way that could benefit to the youth of our community is, like my colleagues said, trading specifically geared toward real- life scenarios with the police. interact with the youth. also involving the leaders of these organizations so they can
4:07 pm
go on and continue to be leaders and teach other youth on best examples, instead of doing a flight or fight or to articulate themselves. i know that one of the youth said we want to communicate, our emotions do not let us. and believe it will be helpful, then know your rights pamphlets, which have pointers on how to interact with police. i know that those pamphlets are -- the former police chief carry them around. i believe hearing of all the
4:08 pm
capacity the department has now and how creative the canby and how it can continue to distribute those pamphlets for the used to know their rights but to become better communicators with the material. whether that is through school or on the newsletter's or if we could focus or the high concentration of youth is, that would be great. lastly, two, excuse me. it was great that we have so many programs offered, given that, there is another commonality whereas they want to provide early intervention services. i would like to see the
4:09 pm
continuing of partnerships and also faith-based organizations that, at times they volunteer or at times they are willing to outreach with the kids. even if it is a designated person at each community organization, where they can, there is a designated person where they can be a liaison to the police department and vice versa whereas they can better coordinate or keep seeing the same youths on the street, these services could be offered to them to reach out to those persons so they could continue that culture shift for the youth. thank you, again, for bearing with us and hearing all of our recommendations. we appreciate it.
4:10 pm
we know and we feel and it was articulated in different ways today, regarding whether is -- back indefinitely, be revised. considering on how to partner with these organizations since there are systems in place that believe in our abilities, because of the program, and certain organizations partnered with. i believe there are many funded programs that definitely sure that commonality. we would like to help out our
4:11 pm
youth as we do also. thank you. i know that was a worthy response. i am glad we are all at the table at the moment. we're communicating. >> thank you, commissioner ontiveros. >> i want to thank the police department for the presentations they made angela occ. -- and the occ. but especially to the youth commission. i appreciate so much your being here tonight, sitting through this a very long, marathon, four 0.5 hour meeting. listening to all of the wonderful presentations by community members and then, at the end, providing your insights and your thoughtful reflection
4:12 pm
both from your works and from this evening's presentations. and what you have gleaned from that. i very much look forward to going forward with additional collaboration on the suggestions made. thank you very much and i look forward to working with you in the future. >> anything further? >> i am going to keep it short. thank you for the hard work. he did a ton of the work for this meeting. [applause] also, for the commissioners, make some sort of a response to all of these recommendations. i will defer to president mazzucco as you how we're going to follow up. >> thank you a lot. wait too long, way too much.
4:13 pm
a distilled this down to, having been a youth, to me it is about the officer you would like to see verses the officer you often get. i heard a lot about, i always hear from the community, what they would like the officer to be. that is not what they often get. it seems like you are always trying to close that gap. i think that goes beyond programs. semyon people do not go to programs. i think that is the challenge. it was for me as a young person. the officer i'd like to see was not the one i often got. i think that is the real challenge. that is something you can keep in front of you. knowing also that the officers
4:14 pm
often train like that. when i became a teacher, i had to -- are was not trained in all of the things because it was not what the students needed. i think that is the real challenge. i think you have taken some little steps tonight. you heard the programs available. for you, that is the gap you want to try to continue to close. knowing the constraints that are fighting against that. thank you for taking the challenge. you have been fighting for the young people. that is great. how would like to talk with you when this is over about some other things. >> without further ado, i'm going to open this for public
4:15 pm
comment. public comment is now closed. we need to get the commissioners home. i would like to thank everybody for this meeting. >> wanted to hear our we're going to follow up. >> what we will do, we should talk about it in our next meeting. thank you for your recommendations. this meeting, i need a motion for a line number5. do i have a motion? do i have a second? all in favor, we are adjourn. -- adjourned.

4:19 pm
site. interesting thing about the oak is there isn't anymore in the entire world. the floors in china was cleard and never replanted. if you look up at the seceiling you would believe that's hand kof carved out of wood and it is a cast plaster sealing and the only spanish design in an arts building. there are no records about how many people worked on this building. the workman who worked on this building did not all speak the same language. and what happened was the person working next to the other person respected a skill a skill that

simplification over what we expected to do today. i will ask you to more or less ignored them, what we had earlier this week, and look at what is in front of you. although the board of supervisors passed out a version of the public finance proposal that the ethics commission adopted, there were a number of amendments included. even though it passed the board, since then, there has been some dissension among board members on that language. so in some fairly frantic negotiation going on this week and into last night, members of the board have come to an agreement on this, the ones that are actively involved. what that means is,
