a significant property taxpayer. in the city and i was here at the 70 mta meeting with the subject of the parking meters was 75 to one and extended meters is a sunday issue that is terrible. i'd agree against more meters. if you wanted a destroy the bar business just do the meters past 10 o'clock >> you should keep things as they are but be reporter full of

the homeowners. this is a driving town but let's not forget who butters your bread and that's the folks of this town and putting parking meters everywhere is a bad idea >> thank you very much. >> i'm rubin i'm a 70 native of district 7 out in the inner sunset. i'm sorry about the gripping by in my view sfmta has lost of the privilege of managing park parking in san francisco. they're creating cash to pay for bus service and bicycle plans because state funding has dried-up. if i have my way that parking

enforcement needs to go back to the way it was. first off cars have no voice in this at all. i'm a homeowner i live out you know where there's much less bus service. the bus service is decent if you need to get downtown but if i take my autistic son it's impossible. it takes my wife an hour and 3 buses to get over there. i don't have a way to bike my autistic son to where he needs to go. there needs to be a change in

the way the board gets appointed. we could go oh, of the skyrocketing gouging and the metered rates and the enforcement days sunday and all of westport california got blanketed. i've talked to the rank and file supervisors on the street and they hate sfmta they want it back the way it was before >> thank you very much. next speaker please. i'll call more names. (calling names) >> good afternoon supervisors i'm deedee from the chamber of commerce. the chamber of commerce represents over 15 local

business in san francisco. i don't think people understand that most of the businesses we represent are small businesses. with we care very much about the parking issues of businesses. the outreach has to be rofbl and comprehensive. especially, when you're talking about small neighborhood and merchants, you know, policies that expand parking he meters across the city. small businesses and merchants concerns have to be taken into account they have to inform the plan and adjustments need to be made accordingly and we've heard considerable input today that, you know, everybody has their own need and some neighborhoods

you need parking meter to help you get turnover so, you know, you can have a flow of clients into our business so this can't be one plan that gets imposed on every neighborhood. the plan has to adopt to the neighborhood and to the commercial district and to the needs of merchants. if turnover is the goal then turnover has to serve the purpose of the businesses and merchant so the chamber is ready to work with it out reaches. we have small business public policy forums. we have in dissects 7 we're ready to help

>> thank you very much. >> i'm steven. i've been in san francisco all my life all my employees and might have ail live in san francisco and we come to business. the business and part of the merchants we've always worried about permits, we worry about police, we worry about parking and profit. those are the important points former chants but we find ourselves at the end of the wrong stick. mta did something they decide what they're going to do and we have to come and react to it. we're never part of the plans at the beginning to help implement it even though it's so important to us.

wlfrn they want to do something they don't include the policies. parking is important it should be part of everything they do when they widened a street or whatever parking should be a fundamental plan. they don't take into account tourism. how many cars come to san francisco every single summary that's part of the city. and they didn't tell you about the transit first policy. how many free exclusive parking spaces are given out in the city

>> thank you very much next speaker please. good afternoon. >> we own a business we're members of a local organization. we're also a p dr business. i want to stand up and say i've lived here all my life. and one of the things that makes san francisco marvelous is because of the northeast mission we have the character of the p dr mission. that's why the supervisors put together a plan for that. and we with want to encourage the mta to work with those business members to help them preserve the character i thank you all. >> thank you very much next

speaker. >> i've been a resident for 22 years offer pope street and had a retail business. and i'm a bus rider all the time thank goodness i'm on the best route to the city. however, having been a retailer i would like to say thatized parking meter about inhibit folks shopping. loss of folks shopping results in businesses closings. minimum parking is taking away the ability doesn't respect how

arrangements provided the necessary services and meets the nets of resident. in that regard to options i reluctantly support a and prefer no change. i also would like to acknowledge the chamber of commerce and the urging reiskin and mta to meet and speak >> thank you very much. next speaker please i'm richard he peterson. i guess you've got american people agency that doesn't listen to the people. right now i find myself going out and looking at local businesses. everything here is about

bicycles and i'm getting sick of that. this addition is cluesless in listening to people it has its own ideas and putting those parking things up and you guys are going to have lawsuits on your hands. if you're going to represent - i'm glad you guys are listening what's up with the sunday parking. you know, you guys i'm glad you're trying to listen to the public. you should put on the ballot sunday parking. this agency only listens to the bicyclists now and that's got to stop. >> next speaker please and. >> hello supervisors i walked here today because it's faster

than muni. it takes a particular kind of arrogance so thank you supervisor campus and calling that out in the presentation from mr. reiskin. i think we should talk about the nature of the parking in the neighborhood. this chart was on the website. that's no longer available but i want to point out that was there own data 16 percent of the cars parked in the northeast mission 84 percent is from elsewhere. so we do have commuter congestion. it's people driving solo in their cars. that is what we need to address.

and when mta staff in public meetings and townhall's say that commuters from out of town are equal to residents it their misrepresenting public policy for or. if what we have is a free parking for commuters. that is not sufficient and doesn't address anything of what we need in the neighborhood. so thank you for keeping the mta hat by the way. we still need you and stand with us. we need you to do your jobs at the budget times and we need you to help us stand up with us. >> thank you. next speaker

please. >> hello supervisors i'm john an i'm happy to join this conversation. i'm in the u sf district and i want to make it extremely clear we didn't ask for mta to come to the neighborhood this, in fact, is round number 2 we represent folks on the western boundary of u sf. the first idea of putting in parking meters was accepted by a install group of folks. the vast majority of residents were extremely against parking meters. and it's only in the last week and due in large part to

supervisor point about the u sf area and the changes proposed. i don't want to go into all the details there are that are a number of unmanaged parking spaces on the rim of my air. if we took half of those spaces about 2 hundred spaces and change those to hour only with no residential parking permits. i'm trying to express as of mta and their finally getting to understand we have people who come outside of the area we have gym users we have all sorts of people park in those

unrestricted spaces and we have a hard time finding a plays to park as we are the residents. how about a 2 hour limits instead of adding two hours with no resident parking. and i want to correct the record we didn't ask for mta to come and want to thank the supervisor for coming. be open with people and sfmta shouldn't come to the neighborhood without communicating >> if there are any more members of the public who wish to commit okay public comment is now close. colleagues i want to thank you all for sitting through this this impacts all our

communities. thank you, mr. reiskin for coming here and talking about. i think the comments were enlighting i have learned a lot here today. you know, it seems like we have certainty areas of town dog patch where there's certainly parking plans talked about and those are going to be the subject of debate golden forward. and thank you for coming and talking about that. today was not continuously expanding parking meter hours there's debate about sunday's but expanded the location of parking meters throughout our city. i want to be sure we have a public discussion and if there are no other plans today to

expand this project. there's a lot of fear and it's missed information i want to make sure this is part of record and thank you, mr. riskin for being here and talking about that. i want to make sure we have a dialog with the board of supervisors and protecting the quality of life for the folks in san francisco. with that we've had this hearing i think this will come up but at this point i'd be happy tabling this hearing >> anything to add? >> thank you very much. i just hope that mta continues to - i hope that mta was just listening to a lot of of the public comments that we've

expressed today and would ask that mta would be more flexible and making sure we are able to match the needs of our very diverse community and i'd rather seeing the mta focus on all the times to the south earn and parts of the southwestern parts the san francisco. >> thank you. >> actually, i would like to thank the mta staff i see lauren and all the residents speak audio on behalf of the your neighborhoods especially the small businesses it's even looelg e lightning to here this to think things through but to

respectfully bring it to the neighborhoods before it's implemented. by strong presentation i think the presentation by mr. riskin hopefully, people will have a bigger picture. i'm a strong supporter of our mta policies but i think a lot of planning that's gone on in mta shouldn't be looked at as a threat but a starting ground. i'm appreciative to everyone coming out and speaking. it's opened my eyes. like supervisors farrells district but the p dr is complexities and i'm looking forward to understanding the complexities. >> this won't be is last time

we're talking about those issues. but especially in the northeast mission you saw the turnout from that neighborhood we're going to continue to monitor this. we want to marry it's done right. that i encourage the mta to really look at the prince that have been outlined by the coalition. i think the statements do reflect the times that free on street parking are gone but you do have to listen to the neighborhood and to make sure you don't do something that ends up hurting those businesses and is truly in line with the neighborhoods best interests

>> it's not artifical in that people do have an opportunity to get heard and their comments are implemented. so with that we have a motion to file this item. thank you very much for coming out. mr. clerk if i could call the next item >> so review the juvenile probation department and i want to thank all the folks who have been waiting to hear item 4. this is an agenda that's been requested by the supervisor and i'll turn it over to supervisor avalos >> thank you chair campos's and thank you for having this item

scheduled at this point. we want to make sure the youth commission -- maybe we, wait it's distracting folks are leaving the room that you thank you for skrefltd that. i've originally heard about the proposed plan of the probation department to have an armed unit a unit that would respond to a higher need of youth and their system. i was very concerned about this proposal i heard about it was a week after the newtown massacre

that happened. you know, also i do want to give a lot of credit to the juvenile department and the when we have probation officer tlaf been a lot of model programs that came out. under chief we've seen the rancher become a model rehabilitation program. there's a great tool that have actually reduced the number of people that are detained at city ha hall. i saw 1 hundred and 50 but it hovered around 1 hundred and thirty but now, it's like 90,

80, 45 which is remarkable. now we also have a very strong community assessment referral center known as caterpillar of young people before they would get into the juvenile hall system. that's why i'm taken auerbach to arm our probation officer officers. i understand the need for officers to feel safe in the environment but i find it difficult to find that bringing more guns into the city will be a good way to do their work. in the of, of course, i mentioned the light of '92 town

it's difficult to promote to have morgan use age. what's also unique right now is we're seeing that youth crime is at is lowest level it's been for a long time. i've seen a gentleman doing a lot of work around youth violence and we've seen the lottery number in 2000 we had 6 percent down and in the 60 and 70s youth arrest is high and annoy in 2011 we're seeing 4 percent. so in the 1990s the homicide

rate for san francisco youth averaged 21.6 and in the 200 these it dropped 6 points. juvenile department stats show the number you have youth is getting lower that i i was also concerned the chief and his staff have been talking about the reports and i know they're trying to do a lot of work that this is an appropriate use of their resources. i was taken a back about a story in the san francisco examineer.

this lady was using to promote a program but was disconcerting it was like a youth youths of color they're all holding guns and passenger seat the guns at the person who is taking the picture. the caption says this is at the west housing project and it's being used to say we actually have on the streets a super i did not get who needs to have more ammunition on the streets. this kind of rhetoric is how we have to have give more power to

daze to try other youths because of the ammunition. we've got one staffer in the juvenile department he's the depth chief probation officer saying to the examineer and that's the worse attitude about young people super predators who are on the street we shouldn't ask any of our city staff to do. i'm disgusted it's a rhetoric to put out if you want to put out controversy and it does a great

disservice to our department. >> thank you members of the neighborhood services and safety committee for thank you for convening this afternoon's hearing about probation officers field officers when mortgaging combines with the - it is most appropriate that the safety of our juvenile potatoes who preserve and protect the safety of the san francisco neighbors will be and the before the neighborhood committee. we're grateful for the opportunity to show the changing landscape of the potatoes responsibilities. the division of jewel facilities formerly
