okay. >> anyone else have questions? >> commissioner mazzucco, i still want to call you president, he is the recent past president. >> i have a couple of comments, i want to thank the captain and his family that give the new meaning to the police family with the whole family had here and these at every event and i want to thank you, his wife is also a member of the police department and has two great kids. and so thank you for being here. and it is also good to hear you know, being in the most senior member of the commission right now, when i first joined that is all that we heard about was broad way street, and tonight, we are hearing that is under control and there are some problems, but i want to thank the community, you have made a difference with that along with the police department, and so, fellow commissioners have not heard that and i want to say thank you, and taking care of that problem. and again, i want to thank the people that came tonight to

talk about the homeless issue and it is a big issue in the city and we have two supervisors here who sometimes when they hear about this issue and there is a same group of people that talk to them that may have a vested interest and tonight we got to hear from the people from this community it is concerned and i know that it takes a lot of the police department's resources and i want to thank the board of supervisors for working on this problem, and the police department for there are things that we need to do and so thank you from the community that brought that out. >> thank you. >> okay. and vice president turman, you are on. >> so, captain lazar the central district crime stats, auto theft is up and burglary is up by the other crimes seem to be dropping and i know that you mentioned that you had some idea that some thoughts about how you are going to address those issues could you share those thoughts with us at that point. >> yes, auto burglary, one thing that we are doing is

telling everyone about not leaving the valuables in their vehicles and so we are doing the best to market the message at community meetings and social media and every opportunity that we have. and the next thing that we are doing, is that we think that in education, and prevention, and education is the key. so, we are going to begin our work with the hotels sf travel, and with the rental car agencies to attempt to market our message about the safety, and it will be great if someone checked into avis and got a flier that said welcome to san francisco and it is a world class and don't leave anything in your vehicle. and trying to get the message out to the best of our ability because what i am seeing mostly in this district are tourists. and they come here, and they want one last souvenir from pier 39 and park on bay and north point and they will leave all of their luggage and all of their valuables in there and they will come back and the luggage is gone and $3,000 in

cash and the passports and all of the istuff, the iphone and ipads and things like that. i know that i met with the merchant to talk about it. and in addition to prevention, and education, the other aspect here, is enforcement and we can't arrest our way out of it and we can't prevent it with arrest and we can continue to make arrest and make if he an impact and lately we have the discusses with the district office and the chief has at the higher level and we have at the lower level to talk about what we can do on prosecution. in terms of auto thefts, one thing that i mentioned earlier was that we are marking our message with our officers to say, carry a hot sheet, look for stolen vehicles and run licenses place and focus on

areas that the crimes are occurring and the days and times to capture the suspect and often times we find that the same suspects and one will be responsibility for many and we see that in all of the burglaries and in the theft. and so those are the things that we are doing and also, the message about the vehicles, i could tell you right now, if you have a hondas in the 90s model, those are primary vehicles, target vehicles, or toyota or things like that, it is about getting the message out, if you have a safety device on your vehicle, well maybe the suspect will skip over and go to another vehicle, we will continue the work on this and i watched the numbers all of the time i work with the brilliant people who helped to come up with the good plans to take care of enforcement. >> right. >> and you mentioned tourists everyone seems to be very excited about the increased foot patrol, especially in the union square areas and you are

targeting three more officers for patrols at night and what is the effect and why or what is the plan behind that? >> okay, so, i know that we have heard a lot about union square and i have heard a lot from the merchants and from the hotel council and from the others and i know that the chief has as well and i know that there are a lot of meetings about the union square and the quality of life and the crime issues and things like that, and since i have been at central, i primarily only have one beat officer on the day history shift and so i got the word that the chief increased the staffing and gives me a great opportunity to have the five officers and one that will take care and one that will be opposite of the officer, and so seven days a week in the daytime we will have an officer walking in the union square and four officers at night and two at any given time and when they first come on, they are going to take care of the union square or the grant avenue, or when the stores close they are going to be in the area mentioned tonight and they will be on geary and suter and on

post, and larkin, and when i, well, when the chief was here was a officer in the 80s, there was foot beats there when i trained in 1992, there were two officers that wore their hats and walked a beat down there. and we will support them, little wagon and we will you know, engage in the community and do something different. i am excited about this and is it starts on saturday. >> thank you. >> commissioner wong? >> commissioner melara? >> yeah, just a comment. in my previous life several years ago i served on the board of the convention of visitors bureau. and i heard about the business associations that are very much participate ng this effort, but i did not hear whether the bureau, or the hotel counsel are involved in, you know, collaborating in an effort because, i remember proposing putting a video on the hotel

rooms because i saw it on tv when i was in hawaii, it would work in san francisco too. and i got push back, saying that if we start doing that, that you know the tourists will start to think that in san francisco, it is a dangerous place to visit. >> everybody needs to work to insure that people don't do the things that makes them a target in san francisco. and i see people as i work in the hospital working the tender loin doing things that those of us that those of us who live in the city would never do. if those organizations were a part of the effort it would be a great step. >> and yeah, the hotel council and the union square bit, and pretty much all of the associations chinese chamber have been great partners in all

of this. and they have had a robust video that ex-at the pointeds down to market street and we actually made one of our outstanding shots fired with the shooting victim arrest, off of the video cameras that were part of the union square bid plan. but we don't put the videos in the hotel rooms. >> thank you for the clarification. >> i would like to add one additional thing, when i arrived at central station, i was told, no, the hotels will be against it and the rental car agencies and i am finding the opposite, the hotel council sounds to be in favor and other managers of other high end hotels seem to be in favor, and so in the coming weeks i will be meeting with them to see how we can get the message to someone checking in to remind them, because, and my response is that are the people coming

back to the city if they get their car broken into and all of their valuables taken? we have a lot of work to do on this. >> thank you. >> it is refreshing to see how people are here with the complaints and ideas and solution to have a diverse group come out and, the captain must be doing something good. >> and the second thing is about the stats. i promised the captain, and he goes, i am going to kill myself, because my stats are going to jump with the number of crimes report and that is a good thing, and there are two ways to read the stats, and we need higher reports, and we hear about the things from the community groups and everyone knows about this pick pocket and we have heard that story

over and over again, and we did not get that official report, because we want the higher stats and because we want the xhunlt 100 percent participating in reporting and i told him that i would defend him. if the stats went up, it is not because the police are doing a bad job, it is because we are doing a better job with the out reach and getting the people to report the crimes because they have the greater confidence that the police will follow up on these case and that is my third request to the chief and i don't want to be greety for this district and i think that we have 11 by lingual officers, and i want to ask for more and we heard from supervisor chiu that especially in crisis times we need to do a better job of maybe, tasking other officers from the neighboring districts, to come to respond to central, but, i have heard of isolated situations where they have not been able on access the officer because they are busy with another caller or assisting someone else and if i could

make that request i would like to bump up the officers at the central district. thank you. >> to wrap it up, one thing that i wanted to say about hearing about the community policing and there is one thing when you see it, and there is nothing better than actually seeing it and we talk about what might take away from this meeting is the commitment to the youth and to the young people. because having seeing how comfortable the kids are here with the officers and the relationship that you guys have established is so important and i think that in my experience as a first generation american, when your parent is from a different country you might not understand the rules and everything, i myself have had to navigate the things from my own family and i know that these kids are going to be so informed and comfortable and it is wonderful to see, and i also want to echo what the commissioner said and we have been here, my third year here and it was broad way, and little party bus and i think that the second year was party

bus and little broad way and now, it is a good thing that we are cycling through the issues and solving some and getting to where we can get and bringing in new ones and this is a station that does bring us what is going on and tell us us the truth and we are grateful for that and i want to compliment the central statesing and stations and i think that some of the criticisms is that you hold yourself accountable, it is a homeless issue, you guys hold yourselves accountable for the quality of life for the picture in this district. that is my take away. so thank you for doing that, i think that the results are very clear. that folks are in good hands with you guys, thank you, captain. >> thank you, very much. >> you are well loved and you have the best behalfed children that i have ever seen. >> i owe them big, thank you for coming out this evening and thank you for your support and i want to add, you know. i talk about the chief and he

tells me not to talk about him and since he has been the chief, it is about the kids kids kids and he had me at the police academy and he started this jambari with the kids and as long as i am left in the ten or 12 years that i am left, i will continue to be about the kids and thanks to dr. chiu and we are able to do that tonight and that started with the chief, you know, giving me the message to how to do things thank you. >> we are going to do administrative matters and so feel free if your evening takes you somewhere else x go ahead. >> call the next line item five. >> public comment on pertaining to below, closed section, including whether to hold item 7 in closed section, we are going to be going into closed session to handle personnel matters and matters that are confidential and protected by the law, if there is any public

25th anniversary of the ada and was wondering whether council had done anything in particular to celebrate that momentous event. i would like to offer a suggestion that certain pioneers in the ada for the city particularly those that are not with us to be honored. i would like to offer suggestion of the late loadey, who was asked to become a member of this council but did not want to split her energy between the museum and this council that she be within -- one of the people nominated for her help in implementing the ada. i put together her resume of items she accomplished in her short life and would like to give this to council when possible.

i rest my case. >> thank you. next i have charles >> good afternoon. i'm charles, i want to direct your attention to this document. i only printed out one copy. this is proposed regulations for taxi cabs and hired vehicles. they being presented this we can't to the international association of transportation regulators at the conference in new orleans. i have seen a couple of these thing go through the pipeline. the chances are good that they will look good to the model regulations and cover everything from the disability to training for drivers,

every conceivable detail. as you may know that the regulations for accessible vehicles and service elevator a -- vary a lot from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. this is an attempt to give vehicle manufactures some kind of solid set of standards to follow when they are building the vehicles and also for regulators to establish a training program and other services that are related to this. one that i would like to draw your special attention to is on the last page where they are talking about how do you fund these services? they are obviously i'm sure it's no secret to you that accessible services are quite expensive to provide and funding is a key issue. this is especially so in these days with the so-called ride shares and having a very large impact on the market. one of the recommendations

and i'm quoting from the proposed regulations is the transportation network companies such as uber car and lyft must be mandated to contribute funding in order to confirm they are being held to the same accessibility regulations as properly licensed taxi cabs and higher vehicle fleets. obviously this is not something you can do today on this spare of the moment, but you may want to consider it down the road a recommendation perhaps to draw some of these other operators into the services for accessible services if not that, at least get money out of them to provide the services. it is available on the web where the people are indicated at the

bottom there. thank you. >> thank you. howard chadner? >> good afternoon. many people with mobility disabilities rely heavily on cars. san francisco's campaign on cars is making it more difficult, time consuming and expensive for us to move around the city. that's why i supporting proposition l. it's called restore transportation

balance, yes. it's a policy declaration not a charter amendment. it would start a dialogue with mta and city officials. it's a way for voters to give mta clear message that their policy is not protecting. mta has been trying to install meters where no meters currently exist in my neighborhood around usf and along the perimeter of john adams campus. mta backed down but they will continue to try to impose meters. proposition l proposes it before and mta in stalls meters where they don't exist. proposition l calls for free parking for meters on sundays and

holidays and evenings and parking ticket rates. mta has suspended sunday meters for the bond measure. after the election it's likely that sunday meters will be reinstated. moreover most holidays are still subject to meters. for example martin luther king jr. day, labor day, memorial day, you still have to pay. when the mta was established it's only job was to over see muni. it made sense that only regular muni riders were represented and no motorist. later mta took over jurisdiction and parking and taxis and sidewalk design and street space. yet there is still
