4:51 am
>> i'll to second that it's open my list good. >> go ahead commissioners and the first tuesday in january, i want to have a small discussion on 10 b here. i don't want - i think i'd like staff to help me focus this so it's not just a complaint. i talked to supervisor weiner today and they're going forward with looking at outdoor permits and stuff like that. they want to have a discussion we don't have to take action. as long as you're open to having a discussion between us first and talk about the implications of anothers program the 10 b
4:52 am
assignment to understand it. it's something that the sfpd is in charge of. we'll move from there to talk about performance i get what you're saying so long as we can have an open dialog and have the police department speak to us because we'd be speaking to ourselves >> i'd like the police department to be here. >> you can't can you ask you what about the 10 b program do you want to focus on new. >> justice some of the issues that have been brought up they feel they don't have a voice on and i don't think beyond the
4:53 am
scope 4i6 it would be good to have a discussion. >> what don't they have a voice on in relation to 10 b for permits. do we ever put a condition on our permits >> no but the local captain does. the captain makes the recommendations. so either captain or commanders whatever >> but we never put it on the condition of the permits so that's. >> those are people we're permitting that are being affected in various ways and i think it's important that we take their concerns serial especially, when they take the time and three or four organized contact me and say they're having a difficulty and want to be heard we have a
4:54 am
responsibility as well. >> i here you but i'm kurt's what's the difficulty. >> i want them to say it. i think - i don't want to get into the discussion here it's not an agenda decided item >> why can't we have them come and explain the procure. a lot of people don't know what 10 b is what the normal question and practice is >> i have a question i mean it seems to me similar going to the fire department and saying we have an issue with. >> the fire marilyn. >> yeah the fire marshall we're not going to change the rules. >> i'm not asking for it to be an action item. >> oh. >> we owe the people to be
4:55 am
heard. we're responsible to hear them >> so i think commissioner lee's suggestion is pretty good we can ask the police department to come and talk to us maybe commissioner hyde may say here's the presentation heros our issues. could we try to get them to come and explain to us >> i'd like to say the supervisor avalos is interested in having us talk about this. it's something i've wanted to discuss like in a year and a half. maybe it's a good idea. >> so this is new business for the future. >> first of january.
4:56 am

4:57 am
everybody. >> all right. good morning. thank you all for coming out today i'm ed reiskin i'm the director of transportation in san francisco. i appreciate you all coming out. what we're here to talk about is safety. about a year and a half ago the board of supervisors adapted a strategic plan identifying transportation safety as the number one goal for the 6 years of the strategic plan and that will continue to be our goal. the safety of the transportation system is walking in the streets and driving a bus or riding a bike. i think the good news is that san francisco jefferson is a
4:58 am
safe city and a muni is a safe transit agency. we're starting from a good place but there are some areas where there is work to be done. in the area of crime most types of crime are low and continue to decline on the transit system. there's a couple that are going if in the wrong direction. we're going to be talking about that today. the other piece of good news we have a mayor that's focused on public safety. in the last public budget had a great stepping up the police department. he's made a priority to forge partnership with the city family insuring we're working together to achieve our mutual goals. so we have great partners with the police department and the
4:59 am
district attorney's office. the da wanted to be here but was unable. we're marshall our services together to make the city and muni safer. i want to acknowledge the folks in uniform. sfpd officers are working together to make that safer. without further ado i want to bring up the birthing cheerleader our mayor mayor ed lee. (clapping.) >> well, thank you ed and to the entire board the mta board and the staff everyone on the staff for working so hard in this past years to approve the muni service and identifying all the things we need to do on safety. we're fortunate that our economy a strong.
5:00 am
and we do want to have success for everyone in the city. and everybody in some way including the kids in my family all touched muni in one way so it's a major transit mode we want to support and when it comes to saves they have to be a safe place for everyone. thank you to all the offered and the people and the entire safety compliment that works directly with metropolitan and as well as our police department. only on a day to day basis but they've been there with our officers to supplement all that the muni needs to do. we've invested in the improvement of our public safety. this
