congratulations to this district. >> congratulations to commissioner loftus for being president. >> thank you. >> and yes, i do actually have a special station and it has been a immense pleasure to work with the captain and i appreciate his leadership and actually president chiu mentioned one of the things that i was going to talk about is the boundary lines between particularly actually central and northern and tender loin and figuring out how we can do the better coordination work there and we did have a great event today and it is the boundary line between northern and tender loin, and it is the playground and it is a really important corner stone of our district because we have the fewest parks and the smallest parks and actually david chiu has come very close to the district six and the few open spaces that we have and we want to be sure that they are safe and their families use them and that is the adults use the multiuse parks and so the sergeant, we really want that to be a safe hub for a family

in the neighborhood and to increase the patrol in that area and also want to figure out how to deal with the path room there but that is not an sfpd issue but a couple of things that we want to do there and so that our families are really using that playground but a great event today. every last wednesday of the month, our community is organizizing a bbq and a take back the playground, where all of the families are coming and we are bringing food and we had the northern and the tender loin police station, both the captain and commander, and so it is a huge show of support for the neighborhood when they see the officers come to events like that and it makes everyone feel a ton safer and hopefully we will be able to change the behavior and the culture on those streets. and pedestrian safety, president chiu mentioned that, and that is also a huge issue from our office, and my district and we actually have the highest rate of pedestrian vehicle collisions in the city, and it has been great, and unfortunate to work with the

captain on a really tragic incident on our boundary lines between david chiu and my district and you know, abnormal rkts a pedestrian walking his bike and very young gentleman who died on that intersection, the enforcement has been great and i want to thank the commander and the chief for taking leadership in that and making sure that the top five on five is being enforced and i see that difference being made in all of the central or all of the station and that has been a positive. but you know, i spent six years in china town working for the cdc and i know the stockton corridor really well and i used to work with the youth program here. and i really want to partner with this neighborhood, even though it is not my district to make sure that we are making stockton and sacramento corner safer, and i was here when we did the scramble signal, through broad way and the immense difference that that has made, and stockton street

is such a busy corridor, and both with some of our most frequently, you know, attended small businesses or grocery stores and our seniors or family and youth and all of the cars and trucks that come through the stockton treat and we need to do a better job with stockton and it is one of the intersections that did not get that additional treatment and it would be great to extend that and you know, in looking with the data, actually after those two incidents happened and we talked to sfmta and the left turn is actually the top reason for injuries and fatalities on that intersection and so you really need to be looking at that left turn intersection and, that has them work with the sfmta as well and obviously making sure that we have the attention and the eyes on the street, and we can't lose me more people, those deaths are absolutely prevent able and so we look forward to working with all of the committees on a number of those issues, around homelessness.

you know, i know that both the tender loin and the southern station has been doing a great job working with the cbo and hot team and one thing that i want to impress upon our residents is that we need more shelter beds, we have 1600 for the 6,000 people in the homeless count and one thing that is positive i have to say and just as a plug for the city that we are one city ha the homeless has not gone up, any other major city the homeless population continues to grow and ours has remained the same at 6,000 which is frustrating, but, also, we have housed 10,000 over the last ten years and it is just that the symptoms of homelessness and whether it is domestic violence and poverty and lack of education and military, and veterans that are coming out of the wars and they are adding to the homeless roles and we need to continue to do that work but

we need more beds throughout staoet if the city, if we don't have the places for the officers to take to that are living on the streets they are just shuffling people from one intersection to the other and we are experiencing that in our district as well. as construction goes up and development goes up, which is a positive for the city, there are less people places for people to hide and sleep in. we can find them moving from the transbay under the freeway and kind of coming in to western soma and other districts as well. and i think that this really emphasizes and impresses upon, you know the city's obligation to be sure that we have beds, and you know, they are going to have to get placed throughout the city and that is something that i think that we need to move towards. and making sure that they are also staffed with nurse and psychiatrist and counselors, and really want to make sure that we work with the police commission on that issue as well. and thank you.

>> thank you supervisor kim. >> okay, so we have covered a lot of issues tonight, this is a chance where my colleagues and i get to ask some questions of captain lazar and follow up. who has questions? >> i have a question. >> vice president turman has a question. >> captain, thank you for the very thorough and quite entertaining presentation, there was a question that i had one of the slides, and if you give me one moment. 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 comment on the fact that we are going into closed session, come on up. >> hearing none, call the next line item. >> line item 6, vote on whether to hold item 7 in closed session. action. >> can i have a motion to hole... >> so moved. >> so moved. >> all in favor. >> let's move into closed session, thank you. >> thank yo

>> do i have a motion. >> aye. >> next item. >> adjournment. >> motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> second. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> ladies and gentlemen we are adjourned thank you so much. leaders. >> hi everyone i'm patrick the

director of earthquake safety forever for the stoifbl and we have the ryan white fair to teach people about the made sure soft story ordinance and connect them with the services they need you can save thousands of lives and if those buildings are rooiftd people will be allowed to sleep in their own beds while the city is recovering. >> we're here at the earthquake ryan white center for people to comply with the ryan white or do a ryan white on their property

to connect with the resources they need. i came here wondering what to do as a owner of an apartment building moderate to comply with the must rules that went into effect last year >> we don't want to go to 10 different events people said so we advise people of the event. so we try to be incentive not everyone is going to be able to come 0 so this fans the afternoon and the einstein >> i've decided to be here it's amazing to see all those people's here it's critical to be prepared and to recover from

disasters as finishing as possible. >> i've been to a lot of shows and this one was a trufk turnout a. >> since the structure the building represents the super structure the lower part of this particle on the buildings on the corner they shack quite a bit. >> so for the floors above as shaking that top floor is fog go-go have no more mass and we saw in 1984 more structure destruction where we're ryan white this by adding a steel frame typically you want to brass in both directions and see how strong the building is. >> we've adapted a thirty year

implementation program i worry about that was a retrofit requirement this is what we do to mitigate the shom and have's evacuation for the people and our partners. i had questions about what kind of professionals are involved in this i want to start to put together a team of people to help me get through this. i'm a structural engineer and i'm thrilled at the quality of the contractors and engineers >> we've taken one civic awesome and put all the vendors in one place. >> you have financing and engineers and contractor and they come here and every we're

rebuilding are that the office of the city of administer and the depth thought i environment and other partners. >> all those things one little piece of a resilient piece of - >> and i felt more positive about things i thought about how to pay for this. >> we didn't want to have one financing option it didn't work. >> we found information about financing they are different options for different types property owners. >> we've seen them offering financially and a pool of styles for a complicated way of saying

they'll be able to pay back their loans over the next two years. >> we have 3 options and secondly, to get a loan for the ryan white and the third becoming in the past program participants in that. it is encouraged along coastal easier where we have set time like sand and a high water table to a cause the sand to shake i'm going to get this visitation on the same bridge you'll see the water come to the surface this knocks the foundation over and pushes out the ruptured pipeline

>> it is intimidating i'm talking to people as a layman who needs help. >> this is a difficult process for people to navigate we're only focused on outreach so we've got the informational and we've spoken to many different owner groups and community groups all across the city. >> outreach is critical for the retrofitting program the city has to get out to the community and help people said what they have to do and do it and raise finances so this program is an advocate and resource for the community. >> so why not skip to the

theme. foremost and most to come we've been presenting community meetings and going face to face with community owners and helping people understand what to do >> you may be wanting to know about the sf green but this will allow you to have is a loan for the property so if you have the property the loan will be summoned by the new owner and this is pay back for your property taxes and the low rates this is a fantastic option. >> i'm in favor of the program obviously we're going to have a earthquake this is from an investment stewardship. >> after a few minutes with folks even if you don't agree

you understand the concept. >> we've talked about being able to do this now we're going to be forced to do this it's a good thing but to pay for it. >> it's not only protecting their property but every dollar is for mitigation it truly is protecting our investment overall the city. >> it's the right thing to do. you can look at the soft story building and theirs like the buildings that collapsed in the earthquake and your shufrtdz to see this >> people are getting caught to get this done and if people can find a place in our homes of shelter it will keep p
