11:00 pm
another suspect walked up and struck 1 shot and struck the victim. literally minutes after that homicide on the 600-block of valencia, there was a stabbing that occurred, officers responded and were able to take the suspect responsible and the second suspect attempted to dispose of the weapon into custody. that investigation is on going but the suspects are in custody. that is the total for the year of homicide to 43 which although is a low annual total obviously it's more homicide that anyone would like to have in san francisco. on the current events, again in our offer to get after the guns we are doing a gun buyback at 1038 housing authority street on saturday beginning at 9:00

11:03 pm
hosted their mediation program. they invited ms. salazar to spend 2 days with them last year as they set up their mediation program. so we are now hosting l.a.p.d., and their mediation program is under way. i met with their sergeant from internal affairs who runs their mediation program and tomorrow members of their command staff will visit as well. they are going to be visiting internal affairs for sf p.d.. you have in your packet the november 2014 statistical reports and companions reports from november 2013. as of november 30th, the occ received 662 complaints compared to 672 complaints november 2013.
11:04 pm
we have 94 complaints compared to 2013. we mediated 28 cases and 54 as of november 2013. moved to the chief proposed discipline. the chief acted in 8 cases in november. in all of but one of those cases it was admonishing and training and five of those was failure to collect traffic stop data and in other case officers unmarked vehicle in an unauthorize traffic stop condition and arrest and did not collect traffic stop data. another case involved conduct self inflict iv credit, when citing for a traffic violation he sent her four personal text message which she did not
11:05 pm
respond to and also approached her when she was in court to contest the citation. the officer was suspended. in the final case an officer failed to write an incident report when the crime was reported by a taxi driver and that concludes my report. >> are there any questions for director hicks? >> congratulations in terms of hosting the l.a.p.d. and showing the mediation program that won all of these awards which was a great opportunity and if good for you in the office. congratulations. >> thank you very much. the l.a.p.d.'s mediation program is very different than the occ. the mediation program is run
11:06 pm
through their city attorney's office, but it is achieving success and they do have a limited jurisdiction. they are only limiting, they are limiting their mediations to only racial profiling allegations. i'm sure that they will seek to expand it, but that is what they are doing at this time. >> ours is much broader, right? >> ours is extremely broad. >> this is the initial step of the mediation program, is that correct? >> >> it is a year old. it's a pledge mediation program and they have had to lay the groundwork to persuade their police union that it is fruitful to engage in mediation and that is succeeded. >> thank you, director hicks. any other questions?
11:07 pm
>> thank you. city clerk: line item c commissioners reports and commissioner president's reports. >> the commissioner has not left any items that need to be discussed. i will however announce to the folks here the members of the commission and folks listening or watching on television that we will be having a presentation tonight on the redistricting proposal. the commission in response will be meeting within the community to discuss those issues as well as others that maya -- arise in the community. i will be posting this information, but please understand the commission will be very much interested in what the public has to say. we'll be meeting in the tenderloin on january 28th at 6 :00 p.m. in the northern
11:08 pm
station on february 11, 2015. at 6:00 p.m.. southern station on february 25th, at 6:00 p.m. and bayview on march 4, 2015. all of those meetings will take place at 6:00 p.m.. the locations are not yet finalized. we will be posting and distributing that information. please know that the redistricting information tonight is a proposal that we are excited to hear. we understand there will be community input and we want everyone to be fully informed and understand the decisions we are making. any other announcements? >> yes, thank you, vice-president. there is an article in the san francisco examiner monday about our medal value or
11:09 pm
case. a san francisco police officer awarded a medal of value or. there have been mistakes in that article with reference to officer involved shootings. i feel compelled to respond to the article in which there was an allegation that myself and detective monroe did not fully inform the commission as to the status of the many different investigations. for the record, we followed all policy and procedure that we normally do. this officer involved shooting that the article is about, that statement was forward to the captain of the committee of three senior captains. they approved it, review ed it and they forwarded it to the medal value or commission which took place in view of that incident. i was the commissioner present in that
11:10 pm
review. it's an incredible process, there are 28 members in the san francisco police department in that room that reviewed that incident. there was an cumulative 800 of years experience in that room that day evaluating this incident. the decision amongst those members, the rank of captain above was that these officers be awarded a silver medal award of valor. their report investigations were completed and forwarded to the district attorneys office. the d. district attorneys office has not ruled on that. the officers have returned to duty examination of that officer involved shooting. that return to duty evaluation was evaluated by this commission. prior to awarding those medals of val or, we
11:11 pm
asked the occ director for her review and that was done. when asked whether or not there was any investigations, we don't take into account the da's office of investigation. there is talk about doing that because of timeliness. sometimes it takes 2 years. the police department has profrd this and the occ had not object and it's thoroughly vetted. so i find it very disturbing that these are very emotional and tragic experiences for all involved. the families, the police officers, to write an inaccurate article to say that we did not study this is wrong. i would like to set the record straight and there will be a discussion about a final hearing before the d. a.'s office. we are working on that.
11:12 pm
i stand behind those heroic officers and support those medals of valor. >> any other announcements? >> commissioner dejesus? >> i want to respond. i did get a phone call. we talked about this before. we are going to put on policy and how we are going to handle this going forward. i did ask whether there were any charges pending and i was told know. i understand the district attorney is way slow and behind on that, when i meant charges i meant everything, is there anything pending. we can talk about the policy because we can vote anyway we want and we have to decide what weight we are going to give to that. i would suggest in january or february we need to talk about the agenda what policy or form or actually establishing a policy of with an information should be provided to this commission before we vote as
11:13 pm
a commission, as a whole as a medal of valor. so we get the terminology straight if there is a civil case pending or charges pending, any type of investigation pending. i hear what you are saying but we need to put it firmly in a policy to vote. >> just to make the report clear myself and inspector told the writer what the policy is. the police department profrs it and it's viewed and the consultant and we both explained that the writer. >> commissioners, any other reports? city clerk: line item 3d
11:14 pm
commission announcements. action, this is the last meeting of the year. the next three weeks in december there will be no meetings. the next scheduled commission meeting is january 7th. and then not including the meetings that was mentioned. >> i will put on when the schedule is up in february or martha we talked about putting on the policy for the awards. >> line item four. presentation of district station boundary assessment report, discussion, excuse me, that was an action item, we need public comment on that. >> i'm sorry, that's correct.
11:15 pm
ladies and gentlemen, is there any public comment online item no. 3, the chiefs report. occ directors report, the commission reports or commission announcements. is there any public comment? hearing no public comments, we will now move on to the next line item. city clerk: that would be the presentation of the district station boundary report discussion. >> good evening, commissioners, my name is randy mcclure and i'm the project manager with the controllers office in the performance unit. i'm here tonight to introduce a discussion about the district station boundaries assessment that we have performed along with the san francisco police department as well as an expert consultant in the area of policing called public safety strategies group who is here tonight. as required by city charter and prip taetd by the move
11:16 pm
to 2015, the ptsd p.d. and expert consultant by making the boundary changes. you have the power presentation in powerpoint and the rest of the information will come as well where the internal office is making that report. now i would like to introduce you to kim craven, the director of public's strategies group. shhh e will walk you through a short presentation describing this analysis and afterwards we'll be available to be questions and answers, but i do ask that we limit the scope of those questions to the project currently in front of us here. thank you. >> thank you, mr. mcclure,
11:17 pm
ms. craven. commissioners you will find the packet and i believe it will be displayed. >> thanks for having us here tonight. i would like to start briefly giving you the timeline of the project. it started with the search back in october. we were selected and started having conversations in december. we scoped the work back in the spring and until that time and now what has occurred a multimedia analysis and sfpd which we'll detail in just a bit. as randy mentioned there was are a few project drivers which will happen in the early part of 2015. the new southern station is for the bayview that means it has to change. also the fact that there is anticipated growth both
11:18 pm
commercial and residential properties in the city and there is a balance within the district and as mentioned the board of supervisors legislation which is required every ten years. so this will start that ten year mark now for the p.d.. the objective of the project was to consider the parody across the district, the imbalances of the work load meaning the most calls for service and that occur within each of the district. we wanted to look at the neighborhood themselves trying to preserve neighborhood integrity and natural boundaries things such as parks and areas as the masconi center and we didn't want to split thing that would naturally belong together. we want to talk about the operational considerations for the district so maybe one street pairs or making continuous borders for their pd's for their district to be aligned. when possible to
11:19 pm
consider the amount of time that it takes an officer to patioer from a call if aligned with the boundaries and the data. one of the things is to allow for implementation when considering your facilities and how many officers can go in a particular location in the it constraints where the dispatch center is housed to facilitate the radio changes required to operate effectively within the new line alignments. we had the multi-tier structure. this is the start of 90-day public comment as you mentioned for the community to now weigh in on the line changes. the top of that is this city's team. you heard from randy mcclure and you have the conduct here
11:20 pm
tonight and captain from the sfpd who is the project manager. we had a series of focus group interviews consisted of the command staff members specialized units within the p.d. within each of the districts ranging from the patrol to supervisor within the station along with city stakeholders such as public works an planning and folks that were having either information that would be valuable to us such as expansion or facilities. we interested -- interviewed all of those and then we had convening the work with five representative captains and we had the steering community which consist of the controller and chief to effect the final recommendations. our process as you can see
11:21 pm
had an overall methodology that you follow. if you start from the left we have the working group that i just described. we had those series of interviews with all of those city level stakeholders and then we had a very high commitment to data analysis. i will describe some of those points to you next. we were analyzing all of the data then producing maps that we brought to the working group. we met in a series of meetings in the working groups, sometimes 2 days at a time reviewing all the maps and data from the information and then to the final recommendations that went to the steering committee which made the final choice that brought us where we are today. some of the data we reviewed, i won't go into detail. the first questions is kad
11:22 pm
for services and a map put in the data set that the work can review or discuss. this was some information that maybe there wasn't information that we could potentially map, but it was something that we wanted to talk about such as the influx of folks to the city during the daytime that's a concern to the p.d. but not necessarily mappable. we did follow all the legislation. if it was available it was reviewed and discussed and data important to the p.d. but not necessarily listed in the legislation such as the location for shootings in addition to homicide. it reviewed each one of those pieces. the selection product brought us over 50 suggestions in those interviews and we created the map for the
11:23 pm
working group. they reviewed those maps brought them down to nine and within the next month made refinements to and reviewed all the data in the discussion slide that they brought down to four maps that they thought would be workable and then sent to the steering committee for the final selection. the slide that everyone is mostly interested is what is this going to look like. as shown in the map is in read the current district outlines and in blue, the proposed district lines that would be considered for each district. if we start with the bayview district, the change here again, blew is the proposed and red is the current. the northernmost border of the bayview station comes down from the china basin area to 16th street. that is the only change in the bayview district, so just it's northern border.
11:24 pm
the next map shows the tenderloin station. so, if we start at it's northern border which is gary street that goes east to market, you will see that gary at powell, that eastern border drops down along powell street to market and then goes east to third and then if you look at it's far west border, south of market. the western border now starts at south van ness going down to m -- mission street to third street. >> i can't see it on this map. so commissioner, dejesus if you look there, again, geary,
11:25 pm
at powell to south. >> go on, i will just listen. >> okay, and then east at powell over to its third street border. we have some other printed maps if after we can hand those out to you you can see it a little bit clearer. >> maybe if we can make it easier when i first saw the map i had some questions and captain bama explained to me which ones shrunk. >> i guess the easiest one to see on this particular map. for all intents and purpose for all of those streets that run south and market street
11:26 pm
about k -- become the tenderloin. >> okay, that makes it simple. >> the next one is southern and that if you look at its former northern border near market street it drops to van ness to the mission to the bay. it's dropping south and you will learn on the next map what happens to a little part of it and then because of the move, the southern border is now at 16. so it drops south from the china basin area.
11:27 pm
the next map chose the southern district down powell then along market and it goes east to the bay at mission street now instead of market. so it drops at third in market to third in mission and east to the bay. so what that does is tenderloin and central southern most border is creating that border for southern. >> it's mission street. >> for the next one is currently at western border starting at broadway street. it will now move west starting at the northern point on broadway street to visadero
11:28 pm
to castro street to end on market street. it's that border to west of the divisadero to castro to market street. that would be the only change for the northern station. what that does is it picks up the housing that is west of the space now in the western addition. it's expanding to that area. >> it picks up marcus garvey even though it's across from the northern station. it moves to this. >> so with that change in northern it will change the
11:29 pm
richmond's border and we'll talk about the park as well. essentially the eastern border of richmond is now divisadero and you can see on the red line that a part of that area from masonic to divisadero used to be on the park district, that section now will be in the richmond. so the next one is how do these impact the park station now along the border of the street, it will now continue along fulton to divisadero street and that reflect from masonic to divisadero and it will no longer going to steiner. that is the change for park station. we mentioned that we looked at the data and this slide that you see here shows the impact on the kad, the
11:30 pm
cultural services and the cable, the incident and you can see the current and the proposed. so the standard deviation that which the data changes from the average or the mean is better for cable. it's slightly a little worse for the kad end of it, but when we look at the range for the kad and cable, the difference between the lowest amount of calls and the highest amount of calls, it improves that for the cable which is the incident. you might ask what does that mean for the kad, the akkad that calls for services means there can be multiple calls for one incident. we began to focus more on the cable which are the accident levels, the ones that officers tend to spend their time on solving that for the city. so there was some improvement with the objective trying to balance that work load between di
