organizations and workout some that make sense. it won't solve everything it's a work in progress. i want to thank you know the key staff folks. 245i6 worked with the city to come up with this very, very fair proposal. that's going to bring money to the city and a administer this program and among the city to properly oversee the proper data and competitor the proper level of authority to make sure we don't do too much too soon and muni stops around the city where folks know they can get to the peninsula and work and get home safely and for not to think

about the alternative to get in a car and create the pollution. we need to avoid that or i want to thank you all of you who participate. we were the group that founded bart back in the 1950s. sometimes that's the thing we need to lead on. if you see multiple family homes around lights endurances it was something that the bay area council created and voblgd for. not easily duplicate with some suburbia cities but that's all helping part of the solution of having a region that can function and stay ahead of the pack. we're pleased with san francisco's leadership and the mayor g did a good job now the

unemployment is ahead of the positive industry. we look forward to work together. thanks (clapping.) >> thanks jim and jim will be available for q and a to answer questions but we wanted to give you an opportunity to hear from a couple of them. i want to bring up carr low the vice president. good afternoon and thank you. a special thanks to mayor ed lee and wanting nolan. sure first names carla with a c yes. we're excited about this program today. we've been working with sfmta in

the past year to find ways to meet this challenge of finding ways to get our employees to our canvassing campus in south san francisco and do it in a way that supports sfmta and works in compliments with the public transmission. our program started in 2006 and the primarily goal of our program was to encourage pleasing employees to stop driving to work alone by themselves in their car. over the past 6 or seven years we've had sdhek program and eliminated over 5 thousand car trips 0 over the roads our employees take the bart and the ferry to get to the offices in san francisco. our employees get to work and it reduced traffic in san francisco

and in the community as well as reducing our cartoonish emissions. we enjoy you a partnership with sfmta and we're hopefully, this program will move us forward. thank you (clapping.) thank you and while >> you can see there's a lot of companies that have been part of this. people refer to this as google buses google is only one of the larger companies we're happy to have google here and 53 we have very sincerely, can here for google >> thank you i'd like to start out by thanking all the folks involved in moving forward this project. thank you to mayor ed lee and

edward reiskin. google is excited to be working with you and members of the community of the shared goal even if minnesota transportation around the bay area. we see this as a great step for partnership in the years ahead. as a current resident i appreciate all the work go that's making this better around san francisco and across the bay area and you have the folks in this room to thank for that so thank you (clapping.) >> okay. before we open it up to questions i want to acknowledge the woman who was spear heat the work working with the folks at the muni and our it people and all the providers the transportation companies, the companies they're working for, the bay area council and our

manager carly she's the brains behind this. now we're available for that questions and jim is here to answer with questions and mayor and i and director nolan >> what's this permit for do you have to have a permit for a shuttle what if somebody doesn't want to - >> there's a whole a lot of questions there. >> and how many does that cost. >> the basic idea what we have we the city and a transportation system that the providers want is access to muni bus stops so the permit will permit someone to use the bus stop, of course,

only muni buses are allowed to use the bus stops so the permit will designate a certain amount of bus stops by permitted providers and would subject them to a number of a number of restraints not interpreting with muni and possess popular not to use the rest of the 2 thousand muni bus stops. that's what the permit provides that's a dollar per day per we're governed by prop 18 such we can only recover our costs for the program and not generate money only the san franciscans can generate a tax. so we identified was it would

cost us to develop and run an 18 month pilot about some thousands of dollars and we expect the dollar per day finger >> (inaudible). >> no. >> and (inaudible). >> we don't have - >> (inaudible). >> if you want to use our bus stops you have to be part of the permit program and once that's in place you have to be permitted to be part of the program. >> (inaudible). >> how much money are are we talking about and again, it's not going into the general fund

to pay for administrator and $1.15 million to be the one hundred thousand figure is the afternoon for companies some are larger and small but the one-hundred 5 million will pay for the costs of a.d. administering the program. >> so did you commuter buses on - >> so the buzz the question is what's the impact been on muni services. their large vehicles and those who have ripened muni experience this we hear it from our operators sometimes those buses are delaying muni for getting to a stop to unload passengers so they dwell longer at the stops

but the basic issue is some of the busiest muni stops are where they want to be and that is the conflict that we're trying to solving with this program >> to increase enforcement. >> part of the 1.5 million is part of the cost. >> how many companies will participate in the program (inaudible). >> that includes the companies. >> hi, sure. carly c ar l i so the kwae question was how many companies participated that's 3 dozen

companies a mix between providers and companies that provide the service to their employees and the transportation like bowers and compass who many of this contract out for so there's an overlap and that's included in that the medical institution as well >> so shilt companies. >> in most cases the transportation provider that's they're busy and operators but ultimately whomever wants to choose to be the permit he. >> are you going to ask for more money. >> so the state law based on prop 18 and 26 restricts any local government from collecting

foes and they're now greater to cost than the fees support. so the state law to raise the revenue is is to go to the voters for a revenue increase >> how many plays - >> i don't think we have that information. i didn't really mention this one of the benefits of the pilot is to gather the information that requires a significant data component to this so we can understand the dynamics of how many people are moving in from where >> so is there infrastructure improvements and how much money and how does this effect building - >> probably not building new

stops but signage to make it clear to which stops are available and maybe they need a bigger bus place. >> you mentioned the symbolic you know the significance that those buses have taken on you have a general displeasure are muni you think this will disarm that. >> i think it lends a legitimate really of the shuttle to our transportation system and that's been recognized by the bay area council. we didn't want them to be the symptoms of something else they're getting people to and from work and preventing thoisz thousands of cars from getting on the roads and really reducing the cartoonish emissions but

their transporting people to work and that's really the essence of this conversation that he need to get people to work. so how do we make sure it compliments our muni system rather than brushes up against it to create for challenges and safety challenges and others this pilot will give us more information but the great part is the collaboration from the companies who provide the service they'll start discussing with us officially what those challenges are on a zone by zone basis and how to improve the safety and effectiveness of the system >> do you have an issue of how the goose killed the golden egg those reduce the (inaudible) or

getting people on cars and now there's regulations that is going into effect. >> we can survivor that if we impose it that's where the collaboration is so they know they want to not be in front of a muni bus trying to pickup people and coordinating steldz e schedules and don't want to exchange very clear congested areas of forcing a bike rider into a lane and they want to know who else wants to coordinate with us and who wants to be in agreement with us rather than people who want to do their own thing. i think this is a great attempt to coordinate something and if we don't do it we'll have the

challenges and by god safety is our number one issue >> (inaudible) shilt buses going to muni bus down to the drop off passengers and that's a financial detriment and (inaudible). >> using a muni zone in coordination with our very challenged muni system that's been succeeding over the years but now we have a whole plan to get them resources i think that's a privilege to use the same spaces in a coordinated way and we're not talking about a tax we're getting a system they've agreed with us would be a better system then the he felt

skeleton. skeleton. >> thank you go [horns honking] announcer: the first step to getting into college is finding someone who can help. for the next steps, go to knowhow2.org. ladies and gentlemen, the meeting is called to order. please turn off electronic devices. can we all rise for the pledge of allegiance. i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to the republic for which it stands, one nation, under god, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

field senior for your outstanding performance of the highest esteem for the san francisco police department. [ applause ] . >> after we take photographs we are going to have -- officer give a presentation as to why lieutenant informant danger field is here this evening and his work in the

community. >> [inaudible]. >> recognize troy dangerfield senior. it's a wonderful opportunity that i could not miss at the board of education and an election in san francisco and as an african woman to understand that this person has really set in motion so many opportunities for generations to come and i'm a beneficiary of his work and so many are beneficiaries

of his work in making the way and opening the doors for so many minority women and we all belong together. i just want to read some, a little bit of the accolades that have been sent from senator diane feinstein. she wanted to join lieutenant dangerfield. the entire board of supervisors have sent their congratulations to you, mr. dangerfield. all sended accolades and they deeply appreciate your service and are honored that you are part of their city family and the legacy of san francisco. i have from montanao. for outstanding service to your community and the san

francisco police department. i know that senator's office, they actually insisted oncoming. one of the legislative aids, team will come and present a certificate of recognition. if it's at all possible mr. dangerfield to say a few words. thank you so very much. >> congratulations, mr. dangerfield. it's my honor that you receive all the recognition that you truly deserve from all our city family. [ applause ] >> before lieutenant dangerfield speaks, i would like for all the current and former officers of justice to please stand up. i want to thank you for your service. thank you very much. [ applause ] . lieutenant, it's all yours,

sir. >> 10 minutes or 15? >> whatever you want? >> i would like to say that all the accolades that i have received this is really overwhelming. can you hear me? >> yes, sir. >> it's overwhelming and i'm really almost at a loss for words to what to say. this is one of the greatest moments of my life to receive this presentation from chief sir and from my friends who are here to show that they are still with me and still with the officers for justice. and i would like to -- i'm not going to take 15 minutes, maybe 10. i was saying that san francisco is one of the most amazing cities on this earth. that's why they have always been in the top 10 for the destinations where everybody dreams of coming to this city. right now they

have one of the finest police departments they have ever had. look at you, you all look beautiful to me. and i would like to say that the officers for justice, i have got a big family, my own family, the officers for justice family and the methodist church family. i feel good. i have been surrounded and always been with the city and been with the officers for justice and done some things that are most courageous. we thought we were doing courageous things as law & order and protecting the streets of san francisco, but, i think that our efforts, officers for justice was a godsend because when we joined, the police commission didn't look like what i'm looking at now. you are very

technical looking to me. you've got males and females and i like that. i just feel so overjoyed. one of the greatest moments i have had in my life in working with the public is one time we had a female chief of police and we have our chief john white, no other city, europe or any other place would consider doing what san francisco did. it makes me feel proud to be a city san franciscans. one of the other bonuses in my life is when we went to court to see that people of all races truly lived up to that. and we had public advocates, we had

chinese affirmative action and naacp and we also had and women now. and look where we got. we've raised the level of the game too much and i'm really proud of that and i will never forget that moment. in two more minutes i'm going to leave you with the thought that i this i this is one of the greatest police departments on the earth, on the globe, chief at the head of it. it's fantastic. okay. and so now we'll just march on and do greater things and we set the pattern because the things that i mentioned earlier at the time we wanted victoriously. there was not

one female police officer in the state of california and a lot of other states. san francisco again set the tone with the people that are attracted to san francisco and hope that continues and i wish to thank everybody for this opportunity to let me take some time off your busy agenda to express myself and i will go quietly now. [ applause ] >> unfortunately you are not going to be able to leave. we have another presentation. we are commissioner andrea shorter here tonight. we'll start with the presentation and then we'll get to you. lieutenant tapia. >> great, chief, president and vice-president and commissioners and friends of the great lieutenant dangerfield. it's a pleasure

to be here with you this evening. my name is andrea shorter. we've met before a few times throughout the course of the years. i have served on the commission on the status of women and vice-president of that commission and have been there for a number of years. because i have been there for a number of years i have been able to watch, see, learn and listen from the value -- valor and courage. what a day in san francisco. i had to fight the throngs of folks there to celebrate this moment us occasion. just know because of those signs of movements that people like you that are dedicated to public service and by all people no matter their color, no matter their gender, no matter their

class, no matter their neighborhood. that just as long as they are citizens of the city and county of san francisco and even beyond. you are that kind of man to have always done the right thing by us. for that, we want to commend you from the department on the status of women and the commission on the status of women with this commendation. i won't read all of it, but it is befitting that we note certainly that when you were appointed commander of the sfpd minority recruitment. you were the first to recruit the first women and asian to ever serve in a police department in this country and you were also one of the police officers to work and create to certify the officers for
