see if that is destroying our community also, we would be grateful. supervisor avalos: any other member of the public that would like to comment? supervisor olague: i just wanted to thank all the other supervisors that worked so hard on this. i especially want to thank the community for coming out and working to a compromise with the mayor's office. i know is not where we want to be, but it is somewhere. it helps for the the goals that we set out with from the beginning of this conversation. i noticed that it did say something about our manual reporting, which a think this report and, but i will be interested in always hearing from the community on some level. because i am concerned about the

level of harassment that we have heard about in these rooms. we have had grown men in tears and terrified by the level of harassment they are having to live within their daily life. we heard from people of color here this morning, not sure they can leave a safe way without being harassed by someone. you live with the stress or tension that is constantly there because you're never sure. even as a woman of color, being in society, i have a certain self conscious that comes with living as a person of culture and of color. certainly, this type of inaction, the tension is to stop terrorism. the intention should not be to harass members of the public based on the color of their

skin. i want to thank you for having the courage to come out and testify and inform us about heehaw grief and pain that the community has been through since all of this began, beyond just 911, but certainly a lot of education that still needs to be done. i think the public in general needs to be educated about what the muslim religion is. the prayer circle was beautiful a couple of weeks ago, and i think there is a level of ignorance that should not be tolerated in this culture. we will have the hearing on protocol for addressing, ha ha. i thought about bill level that all of us kind of live with, so

i think that i just want to apologize for that on some level and because i think that we have to support each other. i am glad that the african- american community, latino community, the japanese american folks came in to show solidarity. i hope that we can continue moving forward and educating each other about the issues that violence gives. it is the start of something. supervisor avalos: supervisor kim? supervisor kim: i want to thank my colleagues that are here today for strongly supporting this ordinance. not just supporting it but being

so gung ho. for me, the ordinance came to us in august and it was a no- printer. it was a safe measure that we were taking and an easy measure for us to take on the residents here in san francisco. we have to say that we are unnecessarily engaging in this type of activity. we have many upstanding officers that this type of activity is not acceptable whether we are engaging in the activity or not. it is incredible to see the

community leaders from the broader api community, thanks op-ed pieces. in legislation, it was incredibly strongly and passionately written. i have really enjoyed participating in that process. and the labor partners for coming at that support. i am glad that we are able to move forward done something. i'm glad that we will have certain -- thank you to my

colleagues. supervisor avalos: i want to thank you for bringing this legislation forward, i am proud to be supporting it with you. we see that this legislation happened, and i want to thank the police department for their flexibility and their willingness to hear from the board of supervisors on how we can put some transparency in place. it gives a lot of comfort for san franciscans and i believe it has been really important to codify what the relationship would be, much like we have codified what the relationship

between the departments with the federal government around immigration issue i want to thank all the flexibility. we heard from many people of the community. especially the federal government, i think we need to do everything we can to make sure that we have a sense of justice and i think this legislation provides a sense of that. i will be supporting this legislation wholeheartedly, and if we can have a motion to move it forward, we will do so. we have a guest here that would like to comment. president chiu: i want to thank

all the members of the community that have been so diligent in your advocacy and your patience with the political process of getting us to where we were. i would hope that we would be able to resolve this before we took it to the board, and the veto that came down. we think it is better that we were able to resolve this with legislation that not resolve this at all. the key to the sponsor of the measure. supervisor avalos: this message will pass with the recommendation to the full board. can we go to the first item to finish business on that one? president chiu: i have circulated a one amendment to address the issue that our

chairman have suggested of what happens if the waiver is granted for criminal nuisance or public safety incident. they grant a waiver, the criminal nuisance a report, the chief may revoke that maybe -- waiver. colleagues, i would ask for your support of the amendment and there is one other amendment that was raised during public comment by the parking lot operators. it had to do with the language around hours of operation and whether or not this legislation was intended to apply to daytime hours as well as nighttime hours. i am prepared, after discussions, to propose that the language on page 8 that says,

this would be only required for parking lots within 1,000 feet of an entertainment establishment, and only if the chief of police does not waive the requirement. if there hasn't been or there has been a criminal nuisance history or public safety incident. the language states that he would be required, in that instance, a security guard to remain on site for all hours of operation until 3:00 a.m. and i suggest we amend that to any operating hours from 7:00 p.m. until 3:00 a.m.. i should also mention that it would be within the discretion of the police chief to decide whether it needed to happen every single day. the police chief could decide that it would be relevant for thursdays to sundays until 9:00 a.m. until 3:00 p.m. the.

i would amend the language, so rather than all hours of operation from 3:00 a.m., and the operating hours until 7:00 until 3:00. supervisor olague: i would move to accept those recommendations. supervisor avalos: we will take that motion without objection. the amendments have been made, really to hours of operation. supervisor kim: i am glad i sat in for item number one, i am incredibly supportive of the police go. between second and first, mission and howard, i was that

of any that evening and i don't usually drive down town. i was surprised, i did not realize there would be no attendance on site. an hour after that, the shooting took place in the very parking lot. i think this is a very important thing that we need to do. we put a lot of regulations in terms of security on the nightlife of the news. our parking lots need to take responsibility in ensuring that the neighborhoods are safe as well. the way, it'll be an important step forward. i was really surprised to see something that had been the code prior to this amendment taking place on page 6, subsection 12,

lines 13-21. i appreciate that in the beginning of the of the ministry dakota that it is required that the operators and any members do have to list if they have pleaded no contest or have convictions on their record. it will be based on their existing criminal history. and the proceeding 10 years to being employed in the parking garage and parking lot. i'd think we have tremendous concerns on this board.

a flat out restriction, an absolute restriction on anyone being able to have a criminal record over the past 10 years, even if it is related to car theft, i think it is strong. i have questions about whether we should move forward with that piece. supervisor avalos: i appreciate your bringing that language forward and pointing out that language to us here. i agree, and i have a lot of difficulty in wanting to move this item forward. it was not part of the legislation that supervisor chiu is working on, but prior to his work on the legislation. i want to move forward with the

program for security and parking lots. if it is possible to divide this file, key one file here in committee and we can work on the amending that language or working with the police department on the language of moving it forward. which is duplicating this ordinance. >> duplicate the files and sending it forward to the board. i suggest leaving the duplicated version in committee and continue into the call of the chair. that way, a substitute version could be introduced and you don't have to go to the exercise of making an amendment and having to do a continuance. what ever you want to see changed, he would introduce that

as a substitute. supervisor avalos: at full board or committee? >> at roll call for a substitute legislation, that could be what the committee hears. supervisor avalos: i would like to be able to look at this issue which i don't think runs with policies around reentry and realignment. we can find other languages around the ordinance for the city and county that is similar to this that would bar people with past criminal records from being able to seek employment. those kind of restrictions don't fit the day, what we need to do to make sure that we are not creating a new jim crow system in san francisco. we'll duplicate this file, send one or to the full board and adhere to the call of the chair.

if we can take that without objection. on the underlined ordinance, we will agree to move to the full board with recommendation. thank you very much. president chiu: thank you, colleagues. supervisor avalos: we are going to go to item number four, i know folks are waiting for items 2 and 3, but lots of people are here to speak on item number four that we have lost in the process. item #5, excuse me. before we do that, can we take a three-minute break?

>> hearing on collaborations' -- experience and repeated exposure to violence and drama, review of current programmatic strategies to address posttraumatic stress in children and research from the child, research program. -- child tramua resaercearch program. supervisor olague: i want to apologize for the late start, but we are finally here. i think those of you that were able to stay and still be here providing testimony as we go through this discussion. i hate will highlight the

continue of care available to victims', child victims of violence. initially, i wanted to bring this widespread problem. children are expected to cope with extraordinary levels of violence. we must construct a system of support that eliminates of violence and, in their lives. whether a child with this is a dramatic scene or just encounters on his way to school immemorial -- these traumas affect him the rest of his life or her life. a system that protects and shields exposure to the long- term effects of violence.

my district in recent weeks, we see that violence can perforate particular areas of the city, dramatizes families, and destabilizes the entire community. as we take this month to reflect on child abuse prevention strategy, let's look at how violence affects the whole community, and how one child suffering reverberated at touches even those children that are not the direct victims. in supporting youth and families in san francisco, it is important to raise awareness of the resources available to people that have suffered violence related trauma. my hope is that we have a series of conversations, and through these conversations, more use

will become familiar with the opportunity for success instead of becoming to the occurence of violence, trauma, and death. it affects the flight of families in the out migration of african americans as well. we will hear from staff from the sfpd, the department of public health, and the department of children, youth, and their families. we will hear brief statements from the school district and human services agency today. understanding that we will have a deeper conversation about the interconnected role of schools and child welfare services. i want to thank the coalition of advocates to identify solutions to the problem of violence.

it is through the efforts of the effortssharon -- of people like sharon huett, katy albright, the magic zone team with cheryl davis, dr. maryanne jones, pastor aris with brothers for change, the family resource center and the y. i appreciate everyone's work on this issue. thank you. we do have a lineup of speakers. first, we will hear from the sfpd, lieutenant jason foxx. >> good morning, supervisor

avalos and supervisor olague. the department appreciates the opportunity to highlight some of the measures that it employs to address this vital issue of children exposed to violence. under the direction of the chief, we are keenly aware that the exposure to violence and victimization can and does occur in all city neighborhoods and across the wide spectrum of cultures and economic status. i am lt. jason foxx and i oversee the department's inspectors involved in juvenile victims. that area of investigations has recently undergone a dramatic transformation that includes cross-training with sexual assault investigators. that realignment has brought about increased confidence the

-- competency when investigating crimes. the department shares a wonderful collaborative and cooperative relationship with agencies that will be following me as soon as i leave the podium. we have worked closely with dcyf for the street violence prevention initiative that establishes a framework for at risk youth and community-based organizations that can provide culturally competent services in every neighborhood in the city. we also worked hand in hand. not only in the prosecution of those responsible, but dealing with the investigations. we participate in a framework, a memorandum of understanding. it stresses the cornerstone use of the disciplinary interview.

the process of insurers that all you've victims of crime are interviewed in a safe environment by a trained forensic interviewers. this process is also used to interview witnesses of violent crime and issues that are especially dramatic. -- traumatic. this inspector insures that all cross-reporting is occurring properly. it is between the city attorney's office, the district attorney's office, and the other affiliate's. the youth can and is exposed of violence. the responsible agencies participate in a bi-monthly meeting where cases are discussed to make sure that the involve youth are being properly served.

under the direction of the chief, the department has been active participants in the united states attorney general honchoed exposed to violence, including attendance in baltimore, md. at the headquarters of the national council on crime and ability. as highlighted by the speakers, the city agencies represented here have a rich history of cooperation and establish a meaningful relationships. supervisor olague: maria bee, chief of the victim services unit. >> good morning, supervisors. i am chief of the victim services division in the da's office. befo s
