put all emergency situation that occur within that event. this is from medical threat assessments from alcohol, weather we have to look out the venue. if we have a large-scale event with large-scale kauflts we have to be prepared >> thank you very much. thank you >> i see no questions i really appreciate the explanation of how the cooperation of the police department and the command structure operators. the next short presentations are

from several other departments. the first is from the deputy director of operation from our rec department. >> we have a large beautiful area that he hosts large events. in any you given year our rec department issues 55 thousand permits for reserve parking permit everything from athletic use concerts and neighborhood events. out of those 55 thousand permits about 2 thousand permits are issued for special event and that special event category includes one of the 3 types of permits. any event that includes

amplified sound or is open to the public or any event that has a walk or run whether it's a marathon or whatever. many of those large events from data breakers or pride or outside lands america cups and so on. on park property there's going to be a theme of redundancy. we coordinate with the departments. our permit staff and arrange department meet well in advance with the police department and in case we have a post we also provided a dispatcher to help

the other providers. our park rangers have listened to the access on the radios. our parks establish a number of sets and procedures for mop who wishes to have a activity on our parks then the folks have to get the permits. the first one it the rec and park security review this is all events that include amplified sounds. the overall security plan must address police presence and the offer night security and the park arrange requirement.

if the includes a walk run route it missouri must be approved. there's also a police review and that's required for all events that are open to the public on parkland and all that include amplified sound. we ask folks to contact the security plan division. that's the starting point and the due diligence that's required for size and scope and it may require additional police officers for the security for us to give the permit. there's the medical security service review and that's for over 20th century 1 thousand

folks in the event. and once we have that we issue the permit. for all of those permits our department has a check list and to make sure those requirements are allowed we must have the permit on file. we issue the meeting with the s f p d with the establishment of any command service our staff participants in the mann requirements as well >> thank you very much for presenting the next speaker is from the mta. >> good afternoon supervisors i'm the director of security and enforcement for the sfmta and i

oversee the execution of events. in july of last year, we improved our approach to planning and execution for specialized and special events in san francisco in the mta. our planning process in most cases begins many, many months and in the case of the americans cup any years in the planning. the planning process starts across the division of the mta whether it's the streets division or our division to deal with traffic. we meet with other departments of our department of emergency management our police department and our members of our port.

another unique thing to the mta we reach anti very early onto the transportation departments which includes caltrans and as well as the transit community and to the event managers themselves and to the community groups to make sure we have a comprehensive transportation plan on both the execution of our transportation and in the event of any emergency 3 should occur during our event. we also open our department operations interest for special events we send folks to the department of the emergency management and also to the police department operation center as well that allows us to make changes very quickly in the

event of public emergency the police takes the lead and we follow their lead with regard to travel control and transportation needs in our city. some of our other security and safety strategies we have a 3 hundred person parking enforcement who deals with blocking off streets in not all of our special events. we have dedicated police services to ride our system as well as a dedicated k9 system. and - i believe that's it and i'm happy to answer any

questions that you have. >> we have no questions. thank you very much for being here next the the director of the entertainment commission. >> good afternoon. i appreciate your including me in this we don't consider ourselves a public agency per say but i want to - we want to reiterate again, we look to the police department to lead us when it comes to event typically when amplified sound comes into play. when i only have one enforcement personn - two minutes per

person max. >> thank you very much supervisors you're all looking better dressed than the last time i saw you. i'm in favor of those cameras. cameras go two ways you know, i remember years ago getting in cops faces now 5 hundred thousand of people have taken pictures of cops. they're only asking for coverage of a braid group and that's completely appropriate. after what happened in boston a after 911 and steve jobs i'm in

favor of those proposals. think about it you put your feet back up on the counter and watch muni passengers beat each other up. we need those i'm in favor of drones. and i want to close with a little prayer for an american hero a person who almost singularly brought down the iraq dictator. remember when he gave them to the new york times additional he became a hero because manning leaked to wick leaks he's in a jail and the guy who published

them is in great britain. >> things c city oh, city bring safety to us yeah. yeah please sing city please bring safety yeah. yeah and find a city that's save all over the place that's the case we're going to have safety now. i want to see it's safety oh, i want to see safety say safety today. i can't stop president safety i want to watchful watch you so i'll just live your lives in safety from you. and i want to watch you, you all over the place.

so we'll have safety in dreams of yesterday city yesterday safety safety today. and and my sweet city i really want to see you. oh, i really want to be with you city but it takes so long in the long run. oh, my city sunny really want to see you city. i really want to be with you city. and i really want to make it safe for you city offer it doesn't take long oh, city in the long run. oh, hot i didn't, hot i didn't oh, my sweet city oh, make it safe today. because i really want to see

you. >> thank you walter. anyone else please come forward >> supervisors daniel i came in here for the juvenile issue but since this is on the table. my heart goes out inform the folks in boston. i think we need to show constraint here. we know in america sometimes fear drives government to bring laws quickly and it really it steels the liabilities away from the people based on the treat. so i want to share with you let's not, you know, move so quickly with any ideas that's a slippery you slope that may infringe on people's rights.

of course, we need plans and i'm not no strategy type of person who deals withur but i deal with common sense. after 1945 the japanese were put in concentration exams and the government can offer react. so let's use caution and reason. because if you're not thinking off o on reason now you're in balance from fear and then we have to apologize in the future based on the threat. thank you >> thank you anyone else who would like to speak. thank you paulson and brown to speaking. colleagues any closing remarks

that you supervisor mary i don't know if you want to make any comments? >> i'm really pleased at the amazing amount of coordination it's not only in san francisco that regional threats happen but i appreciate the years of planning for the america's cup and other events each year. i have a better understanding of the command structure it's very, very helpful and how we put so much thought in keeping our public save during so many of those large event. i want to thank my colleagues at the e and the public for privacy rights for individuals and to balance the need to keep the

public save. i want to say that the boston marathon bombings were a shock to us and i know that our safety plans looked at we ocess appreciative that our city is uncomfortable our system to keep the public save. i hope we he can continue this conversation between annoy and the data break. i want to know that our departments are keeping us as safe as possible >> thank you supervisor. >> i think the thing that's key is we continue to have this conversation. i personally think this is a convenient that goes beyond san francisco and we as a country

need to have that communication it impacts every single city in this country. as we move forward with the statement that the chief of police was talking about nirmz were there might be gaps in video surveyance it's important for us to talk about how that's going to be regulated and seated at least having some rules in place so there's some criteria that are followed. i think as a maturate of common sense we want to see that information available. the cameras in boston were very effective in preventing another bombings from happening. we want to avail ourselves of that information god forbid if this should happen in san francisco. we have a long history of

supporting the first amendment rights and i believe we can appreciate that >> i want to thank the chief for coming here and look at the exciting cameras and how to map the cameras by you support that the aclu and other advocates that we don't rush into more surveyance unless there's a critical need to do that. i haven't seen that but i have full confidence that the inner agency cooperation is keeping our public save >> thank you supervisor. should we have a motion to file this hearing? again thank you to all the city

agencies for coming and to all the members of the public to speak on this item. mr. brown it was good seeing you and i agree with you on brown mann >> item 3 is a hearing on the revenues anticipated policy rationale and update on future parking meters that include expansion in our neighborhoods. >> it's been introduced by supervisor farrell and many are interested. and we thank the supervisor so with that. >> thank you chair campos and supervisor. i call for a hearing regarding

sfshgs mta for introducing parker meters into our neighborhoods. certainly the first of those plans is underway in the south eastern neighborhood. i've asked mta to focus their presentation on the statistics and policy the revenues and the rules and updates and that include potential expansion in the neighborhoods. i believe that the mta will be providing a rationale how we manage parking overall. this originated from a lot of folks in san francisco about their fear of a creep of parking meters in our city.

10 east it is my belief that in san francisco that residents and merchants like to have an adequate input about products that would effect their quality of life. i think it is important to have the discussion. i want to be sure tt we have a comprehensive parker plan but works for our neighborhoods and merchants that work there on a daily basis. i want to say i'm very much cabins expanding parking meters into our neighborhoods. and look forward so talking publicly about the plans and the lack of plans in their

neighborhoods in san francisco. i've made it clear about the parking meters here in san francisco and i know points supervisor is going to be talking more about. this is not about expanding parking meters hours but expanding the locations of meters. people don't want to be surprised and i want to make sure we have a public discussion and how the mta manages that. i want to thank director ruskin for meeting before this hearing and for coming here today and listening to our questions and concerns. before you i call the director up >> good afternoon colleagues isn.good afternoon. members o

this is an iortanthearing. both myself and supervisor have had the luxur of with this issue last year. so it's a very interesting discussi we've had. - there's no secret i've talked about the mta current approach to parking meters. fundamentally i believe that as it relates to the neighborhoods i represent the mta is frankly on the wrong track. my biggest frustration is there's no comprehensive approach to the neighborhood. instead of looking holisticly all those you different dwifksdz are moving in cfl

of things that makes the mta current plan unobjectionable. and in the southeast neighborhoods we're shouldering the city's now growth and development and now infrastructure are slow and not nearly keeping up to place with the growth and in some areas the mta is considering service cuts. we're told time and time again instead of having folks who own bikes that car sharing are not okay in the neighborhood because there's a lack of demand. so in areas of my district we have inconsistent enforcement. so the frustration comes from

the residents in the business community it's reasonable. additionally i know articulated here today, many of the business he owners are p dr businesses. through a nearly decade long planning practice those process the city rezoned large areas to main the p dr industry and they don't require the same level of parking or the same level of parking areas. so in the same way that mta doesn't also have a significant approach they don't acknowledge the businesses either. i'm looking forward to hearing i quit you won we're not going to

be doing parking meters. i don't know. but we'll see. we'll let the hearing continue. thank you. thank you, mr. chair >> i know we're going to have a presentation from a couple of folks here but before we do i want to make a quick comment as the representative for district 9 we've been dealing with this issue for some time, in fact, in the northeast mission became part of sdwrikt 9. first i want to thank all the members of that community and the whole city it's taken a lot of time and energy and it has been quite something to the

organizations that has taken place. i want to thank my residents for that level of activity. i want to direct the representative reiskin that has been active around the process and what was even vilgd a year ago was something that would have lead to a quick action by the senate mount and board of directors but because all the officers of the supervisors the mta has taken the time to really hear what the community has to say. and let me be clear i believe that we should continue to push for our transit first policy and i do believe it's possible to do that while at the same time addressing the needs and

concerns of those neighborhoods. one of the questions i have as the supervisor who represents the first part of the city where this is being tested where this is being implemented is what are the criteria followed in deciding where to begin this process. i know there's been a lot of reference to the eastern neighborhood plan but if this is the i am tuesday let's make sure we're following the very important policy consideration of protecting p dr businesses that many believe is not being done with the current mta plan.
