wentz the super bowl and everybody hanging out and hugging those are the types of things a football team can do for a city and a community. yes. i was bitter when the 489 moved to santa clara it's been difficult to hold onto a desire to be a team player or fan but regardless of where they're playing i'm a true fan to the end. sadly my desire to continue to be a fan was completely shaken over the weekend when the 49ers decides to allow raymond mcdonald to play in the past
7:07 pm
game i realize that mcdonald had not been charged yet a felon investigation pending i took issue that the 49ers out of respect for the team and the fan out of respect so far the name they bear san francisco they couldn't at least have one player sit out this game and future games pending the results of this investigation. i believe in your innocent until proven guilty but the 49ers bear our name we have to be sure as policymakers we hold anyone to a standard of obsolescence and, yes there's innocent until proven guilty but with our law enforcement and city employees
7:08 pm
if a situation happens where a crime is committed they're on paid administrative leaf pending the investigation and we need to make sure that those are the kinds of things we demand. mostly because they carry the name of san francisco so today, i'm introducing a resolution for the imperative agenda that denounce the san francisco 49ers it denounce them for not making the right decision domestic violation is a real issue sadly after a woman was beat by her boyfriend and on many occasions the police wouldn't take no one to jail if he said he didn't hit me, i'm okay. we don't need the police now because of advocates
7:09 pm
like beverly uptown we have laws where someone it going to jail the evidence is oftentimes written on someone's face. the 49ers franchise is a multi million dollars franchise i understand that money plays a role but someone's lives should not play a roll-around domestic violation today, i'm asking to place this on the imperative agenda because there will be a 49ers game on sunday and raymond mcdonald will be police vehicle placing in that 49ers game we have to be clear that the team that bears our name should not allow a player to play who is

of the highest levels of bayview hunters point and the mission the technology has been critical in my district in district 9 and especially in the mission and the police department to curve violent crime in 2013, the san francisco police department dpantd the use to cover a large geography area that plan included the technology on pg&e power poles and puc poles and government building and schools. the full expansion of this public safety tool unfortunately has been installed more than a year and not entire clear but one of the obstacles is the fact that pg&e is charging on unexpected fee of $1,500 per pole a fee that utilities and
7:13 pm
other cities have not charged to install this technology. the data shows that if the police department relies exclusively on 9-1-1 gunshot without the use of the technology only 10 to 20 percent of incident of gunshot fire are recorded this captures the other to 90 percent of the incidents that occur. the bottom line we in san francisco need to get in technology up as soon as possible in ass areas. i hope my colleagues today as this matter males or females o moves will ask pg&e to work with the police department to complete the plan expansion by allowing the st. pd to put this on pg&e poles without a charge.
