believe that this location is not on the list that were accepted for maintenance we have consistence we have a record it shows the paper street is dpw's responsibility it has no direct bearing on the decision tonight because whether it's dpw's or the adjacent property owners responsibility it should be cleaned up but i don't know that it makes a determination of the safety of the at&t's facilities i will lastly state the landslide that's been received to d occur to the right of the site and the notice to repair was issued to mr. lee to the right of the site not the site

itself and does that mean it requires more extensive strengthening of that slope? >> we actually have one of our geotechnical engineers that look at this if it's dpw's responsibility but it's my understanding that the stabilization of the slope it's brown business owner performed after the landslide this is more simply erosion of the landslide and there could be stabilization required but not the bolting into the hillside we have his first assessment. >> ms. short one yes. that i have is whether you've evaluated this permit under the new ordinance.

>> not yet the new owners took effect on saturday so if the boards determination was to deny to uphold the appeal then we would re-evaluate whatever at&t submitted to us under the ordinance. >> i don't think it's so much this as the fact we need to review the case based on the order owners ♪ effect we've heard it after last saturday >> as i understand after discussing dui discussing with our city attorney because there's a permit that has been approved from the board upholds it was approved prior to the new ordinance taking effect,

however, if it is over turned then, yes we'll need to look at everything in light of the new ordinance. >> there was no permit because it was appealed this is the review of the permit so it has to be reviewed under the new ordinance. >> that's also been the case. >> i stand corrected. that presents a difficulty we don't have the factors and dpw hat evaluated it. we don't have the information to apply the factors and neither do you so >> well, actually i know that the dpw has to issue its order for how the legislation is interpreted but the legislation itself that has requirements i wonder in commissioner hurtado

to your question if you want the department to address the current permit as it went to the review process in the legislation itself obviously, the order has notary republic not been issued by the requirements of prevention itself. >> i thought that was what i asked and you said no. >> we haven't evaluated it but the new ordinance essentially requires additional initial outreach and assessment that didn't take place in this case. >> given that what i think oh, are we done. >> we need to ask for a any public comment on that item? >> good evening i don't want to take much time. i spoke last time here. my name is tom.

i live in the neighborhood been there 15 years. from what i see we've got a site that's approved i live there, yes it needs a little bit of work. you know, we have a community we have neighbors that have quicken you letters and a list of people that said we don't want this box at the end it's an eye soar and we have a spot down the block approved by the neighborhood but here weer and we're back and forth so i want to leave it at that i appreciate your time. as i mentioned last time i was here we put a lot of work into the hill we talked about but for

e beautifying this spot with that, i appreciate your time. >> thank you is there any further public comment seeing none, commissioners the matter is submitted. >> when they implement and they have to do additional notice there will be someone else that is not happy so but i think we have no choice but to continue this until the department has taken into consideration. >> my only issue is the amount of time it will take do you have any indication when the dpw will

issue their guidance? >> i can't say for certainly but we're gibtd to do n it westbound 60 days we have a draft we're reviewing it next week in its final form our intention was to essentially, you know, put that out for review so i think we are well within the 60 days is our goal but i can't say specifically. >> august 27th? >> i would hope before that i think we understand that lots of people have an interest in moving forward and getting those cases resolved so we're not interested in dragging this out and have a draft order that is

pretty close to going forward. >> ms. goldstein this appeal was filed april 2nd am i correct. >> it was filed april 2nd. >> well, i would move to continue it in a relatively short amount of time there might be an order imminent i'm concerned we issue a result in the amount of time that is reasonable. what's our calendar looking like in a month >> the first meeting in august is on august 14th will 13 before that we're in july 23rd there is 15 items on our calendar

august 15th majority at&t permits. >> i will be missing the august 13th and the august 20th meeting. >> okay. then we will not be having an august 20th meetings it's unlikely we will depending on commissioner hwang's appointment i recommended you not hear this so august 27th is the next best date. >> okay. so that's your motion do you want any written smiled e submittals or the department to speak. >> yeah. i want the department to speak to the next owners and hopefully, the order will provide guidance. >> so the continuance will be

francisco police station. and i wanted to appear before you tonight, basically to comment on an article johna, lamb, and he was granded a list, and the officers who have fired their weapons and who have been involved in officer involved shooting since 1990. in his article he makes references to the number of sfpd officers, who have fired their weapons in the past 24 years. and he intends to betray our members as being somehow trigger happy, nothing could be further from the truth. what he does not touch on in the article, some of these discharges were accidental or unintentional and tragically some of these were officers who had taken their own life due to depression, or ptsd. >> he also does not touch on

the fact that the vast majority of these discharged were by officers who had put themselves in harm's way and were performing heroic acts, protecting the lives of the residents of this city, or, simply protecting themselves, from suspects who had fired first responsible them or who had assaulted them. >> my name is on this list from an incident that occurred in 2002 while he was serving on a federal task force and i can tell you that this is the last thing that a san francisco police officer or any police officer wants to put themselves through. it should be noted that they are investigated by criminal and administrative investigators and also, the district attorney conducts a thorough investigation, independent of the police

department. the review process is thorough, and each incident gets reviewed by the san francisco police department command staff up to and including the chief and the commission is kept advised of the product of these investigations. in the vast majority of these incidents involving a criminal suspect, the members of the sfpd act $within policy, for the size of our department and the size of our city, for the date, time and population that exceeds over 1 million, the number of officer involved shootings in san francisco, is below the national average. that is due to the professionalism of the members and the training that each one of those receives. >> i wish that mr. lamb had touched on any one of those issues. >> thank you. >> next speaker. >> good afternoon, i am here before you as a resident of san francisco and also a former

officer in the 146. i am employed by the fire department, as a fire engine paramedic. and i worked for the city as a paramedic, since 1976, i am not here as a representative of the fire department i am not speaking on their behalf. we have a situation where the ambulance service is arriving at a critical point, i would call it, and that is we don't have enough of them and it is more important, what is called the medic to follow which is the situations that effect both the police department as well as there are no vehicles available. each of you has a document which i have prepared in advance and so you have it. >> yes. >> just to be as dramatic as possible and to drive home the point is that, if somebody a

police officer, shot, stabbed or suffers some short of internal injury if you get shot in the arm i can control it and stabilize you and you probably will do fine, if it is internal injuries, there is very little, that the paramedic can do in the field in an immediate sense there are a few things that we can do, what we need is a rapid immediate transport to a trauma center, with a trauma surgeon and that is the bottom line. and so the problem that we have and the reason that i am here for you is that your appointees of the mayor and i want to ask you on our behalf, the paramedics of the city and the fire department and if you have any influence over the mayor, to lobby for us, because, we presented a plan, to solve, some of the problems, with the lack of ambulances. we asked for 9.8 million dollars, along with the comprehensive plan and we got 3 million, and it is simply not

going to get us to where we need to be and hanging over our heads is a sort of that we are not meeting certain mandates by the state of california for example we should be doing 80 percent of the total 911 calls and we are barely making it past 71 or 72 percent to the extent that you have the input for the mayor of san francisco if you could lobby on our behalf for the additional money above the 3 million that he is giving us. we would be in your debt, thank you very much. >> thank you very much. and i want to thank you for the packet and thank you for the hard work with the paramedics that serve the fire department and you are true heroes out there we do appreciate it. >> thank you, it is very kind of you. >> any further public comment? >> hearing none, the public comment is now closed. >> the chief's report, and and

chief, good evening, >> very quickly, jason has a presentation that i think that everybody is interested in, and i made the report on the violent crime is down 13 percent, and part one crime is down one percent, and we are still experiencing difficulties with theft, auto theft is up, 12 percent burglary is up seven percent and grappling what we believe to be issues with 109 and the early release of pretty much property of the criminals from the jail and then the folks refend and we are aware that the violent crime is down and i can't say enough about the partnership and the community and the jobs program from the mayor's office and the

work of the unified school district and the drop out rate, that has us on a half year paced that if we did, do as well with the second half of the year, it might leave us with the lowest homicide total since we have been keeping track since 1950 and we are at 14 homicides for the year and we did percent one last friday. and in the station, valley, actually on a playground and a playground that we had schedule to start taking on the officers as we have, at garfield playground, in ashley, and modeled on jj who is going to speak shortly in being in the willie maze clubhouse and we are going for go forward with that and obviously there were children present when this shooting occurred, and this city is putting a ton of resources in there through the department of public health. and to see if we can't get the kids to a better place and certainly any playground in any community will be a safe haven

and so we will work with the mayor's office and other folks to make sure that we climb that playground for the kids. the officers were doing the best that they could and this is over the whole weekend, 70 intoxication arrests and another 75 went to centers and felony arrests and assaults and violations and we did have a shooting at one of the venues of one of the out lying stages and that, young person was hit in the hand, and that suspect is in custody, and there were 11 misdemeanor arrests and we recovered three firearms. and so, and the entire command staff and some of the members of the commission, participated in what was possibly the

biggest pride parade that i remember, so, all in all, a lot of police work got done, and a lot of fun was had by a lot of people working with the mayor's office to make next year's pride that much safer. >> with that i will close out my report and invite up officer jason johnson and his able assistant. to do a presentation on a pretty spectacular trip. >> i would also apologize in advance for officer johnson, not being in the uniform but he is here on his own time, as he is a new father. so he is off on family leave. >> the information with the boy's club. >> he better not be. >> i was actually had my newborn son and i kind of hurry to make and... >> just today? >> yeah. >> no he was born on march 10th.

>> okay. >> and i understand. >> yeah. >> and i have been there. >> congratulations. good evening, everybody, and we are back from the trip. the trip of a major success. i knew that it would be impactful, but not to the extent and i did not know that it would be coming back and doing what we are doing now. and so, some of the kids like, i believe that i told you before, have never been on a plane. and not even really been out of san francisco. and so, we flew from here to germany. and we got to germany and you know the kids, be in germany and calling everybody and we are in germany and we were there for about 6 hours and then we flew from germany to ghana in africa. and when we first got there, it was, it was kind of late, it

was real hot, and dark, and you could not see too much and this is a little bit and so, a lot of kids were excited. and you know, to the and adequate, and debrief, and we woke up early and hit the road and first we start off and i went on a small safari where they got to meet ba baboons and we went into a bat cave and so all of the kids were like really in awe. and after that, we headed to another city called kamatzi, the home of the ashansi kingdom, the most powerful tribe in north africa and they are rich in tradition and they actually have it there today and still have a king the

country itself has a president and they had a king, the kamatsi, the santi king, they had a chance to see him walk in, and you can't approach him or anything like that. he has crazy security. but we got to do that. and they got to experience, going to a village, seeing what it is like to not have running water, you have to pump your water. and getting down with the kids and playing with the kids, and going into a village where there is no electricity or anything like that. and they were all excited at this point they were having a lot and a lot of fun. we go to a market and as soon as we get out of the van, all of these people just approaches everybody, hey, hey, buy this, we got this, and where are you from? you are from america? see what i got, see
