large loincome populations that surround it like soufth market or the tenderloin we shouldn't increase the number of licenses in those areas. as a public policy that is a concern of mine. that is one of the main reasons besides the community concerns about this that i'm not supportive of this transfer. i think to move this forward i'll motion that we table this item so i move we table this item for those reasons j. supervisor christensen >> this is all most in my district across the street. we did investigation so i have a empty store front which we don't like in a hotel #23u silty. i have spoken to supervisor kim who didn't object to this. we established this isn't a off sale liquor situation and i am sympathetic to mr. mick noltys concern but

we remember the controversy about bristol farms and had more problems in the wall green south of market than we are likely to have hat this location. i look as this a business that is appropriate in this area and i take very seriously the concerns about another liquor license. i understand from supervisor kims office they made attempt to actually help the applicant find a existing lice ins in the district and not able to do so so there is a attempt to do that. i watched people make earnest efforts to do business and been twarted as t at this stage. because of for visor kim's lack of objection my imication is approve thix or send to the board >> supervisor campos >> i think i want to go now

because it comes down to me and this committee. i think it is not a clear case from my perspective. i understand what lutenent fal zone z saying and i think that in many respects the argument makes sense. the bottom line for me though and i have said this from the very beginning of my role on this committee when i was chair of the committee that that thofend day to me it all comes down to community support for a license and i think that for me that means that there has to be a yes from the community to make smns happen. i am concerned in

this case you have a neutral supervisor not saying one way or the other and i'm concerned so many members of the community have come out. i appreciate there may have been letters subsequent to putting together this package there is no one from the xhunty who is coming here and saying we support this in this hearing. i do worry that in the end this will culminate in one additional license in the neighborhood. for me and i guess what it comes down to to support a license there has to be support from the district supervisor and community. in this case there is no objection, but no support from the dist rth supervisor or the community for that matter so given where it is i will be

inclined to agree with supervisor mar. i think that if there is a opportunity to get another license from within the neighborhood that i think it would be a different matter for me but that is where i am. i would be supporting supervisor mars motion >> there are no other caunlts, let rr have a roll call on the motion to taiblt >> camp pose aye. christensen, no. mar, aye. we have 2 aye's and supervisor christensen dissenting >> thank you. is there any other business before us mr. evans? >> we have item number 3 mr. chair. >> please call item 3 >> ord nnss amending the mintry of code to sfb a fire safety task force to review and

make recommendation thooz board of have visors on proposed legislation and improve fire safety in multiunit residential and multiuse use buildsings >> supervisor campos >> thank you very much. i want to thank our representatives from the department of building inspection who have stayed here for this very long long meeting. the ordinance before you which is cosponsored by supervisor kim and want to thank her is to create a interagency emergency fire task force that will meet over 3 months to review and develop legislation and other solutions for the purpose of improving fire safety in the city. i would thrike thank president breed for waving the 30 day rule when it comes to the legislation. we need to do everything we can to protect it

people or city and county of san francisco from future fires and we can't stop every fire but i know that we can do a better job and the goal is this task force will play a critical role in making that possible. the 7 member agency task force includes representative from the department of building insmeckz rsh the fire department, public utility commission and want to thank the represent thv from the puc who staysed the meeting [inaudible] as well as department of public health. as you know we have seen a disproportioninate number of fires in the mission including the death of 3 people and believe by creating the task force that we will do a much better job. the task forbs will focus on 3 areas, one, review and make recommendation tooz the board of legislation to improve fire safety in

multiunit residential buildings and mixed use buildsings including legislation that allows housing inspectors to asite owners when fire alarms are out of date [inaudible] the vecd goal is for the task force to suggest new amendments to the municipal code to improve fire safety regarding prevention emeasures post fire investigation, the process and resolution of complaint with code violations and interagency coordination and information sharing. third we ask the body to make recommend on the feasibility requiring the snaugz of fire alarms and fire spring lers in multiunit buildings. this issue is a particular concern to supervisor kim who haeld

hearing on this very important matter. the task force will meet at least once every 2 weeks for the next 3 month and the meet rgzope toon the puck public so anyone who has a interest is welcome to come and any with a particular expertise is invited to present during this time. we appreciate the feedback of the department of building inspection code advisry committee who has been very helpful and especially want to thank a number of individuals that are critical in making this possible who will participate in the tachck force. i would like st. recognize [inaudible] rustle frathum fire department. thank you so much captain for your help, your leadership as well as our fire chief [inaudible] white for her continued support. i also want to thank director hewy from department

thank rous heary >> good afternoon. a principle mission of the department of bilgdsing inspection which over laps with the aerjs identify is insure multiunit residential and multiuse buildings are properly maintained regarding habitability issues related to fire safety. with that in mind dbi is please today participate and provide administrative support to the interagency fire safety task force. we realize 60 percent of the buildings target td by the legislation we are seeing the fires within were built before 1940 and that number riseed to 86 percent for buildings greater than 7 units built before 1970. we va745 to 75 year span between the time those buildings were built and the fire protection requirements required then and what is required today of new

construction of apartment buildings. with respect to reto active provision if fire provision provided by the san francisco housing code those provision have not amended or updated since the 1960'so it is long over due so these prirements and the other recommendations be reviewed and analyzed in the confecs of this legislation. dbi looks in conjunction with the other city departments and rr stake holders to submit [inaudible] did have to tep e step away and second me to express dph support sw willingness to participate in the task force >> great. i think that concludes the presentation and i also want to thank carolyn [inaudible] from my staff who

report. we include the op -ed in the san francisco chronicle authored by mr. reiskin we had a site visit from the national highway traffic safety administration. direct craft of the california office of traffic safety and representatives from the california state transportation agency and a number of other federal, state, as well as our local officials and task force participated in this day-longest. and we were really excited at this opportunity for vision zero to be of interest with respect to how it could be -- what lessons-learned could be translated to other jurisdictions? and also at the federal and state-level. and we really had a great opportunity to have an afternoon workshop, with the task force, as well as these

representatives. and out of that workshop was a number of our leads from vision zero initiative facilitated different workshops on topics including funding, engineering, evaluation, and policy. and the findings of this workshop will be summarized in the report that will be given to our federal and state partners, with respect to what can had they do to help us move vision zero forward? we look forward to sharing that record with you and it will be included in a larger report to be shared with secretary foxed. we're very excited in the last month in a that the san francisco unified school district passed the resolution of bike to school date. >> nice photo. >> and with, that i'm going to turn it over to tom to give additional updates. >> thank you, megan and

afternoon supervisorses. we're up to 14 of the 24 projects complete and we painted painted safetea zones along howard street, as well as the very complex pedestrian interval at intersection of 4th and king, alongside the rail tracks there. so we're more than halfway through our goal of 14 in 24 and i believe we have three more projects set to be complete in the month of june. on the education front, my colleague john knox white is going to be here to give a much more detailed update on what the education strategy is?, but the high-level update, there is now an education strategy we're really excited about what that means to talk to the public in terms of vision zero. i'm going to jump down to the policy piece, to give you an update on assembly bill 1287, the forward-facing transit-only

lane enforcement camera bill. this bill is sponsored by assembly member chiu. it has moved out of the transportation committee and it is moving over to the senate. there are a couple of opponents to the bill, primely the triple-as or automobile associations but we're confident that that bill will keep moving through sacramento. and we are prepared for the legislation to pass. we're prepared to begin implementing the administrative and citation-related infrastructure it's related to january, 2016 for ab 1287. >> on the evaluation and data piece, during this period the vision zero epidemiologist at dph worked with ski key staff from sfmta and our agencies are

now coordinating and collecting on a monthly basis a final count of traffic fatalities. we have started publishing them. so that the data is transparent and can be known by the public on an on-time -- online fatality map including up from 2014 to the most recently completed month. and finally we have a more detailed update on enforcement, that command mannix will be giving. i will turn the presence over to her now. >> good afternoon, supervisors. this slide you are looking at right now shows our collision numbers. and from 2014 to 2015, 1st quarter same time period you can see there is a 56% drop in

fatal collisions. the other collisions categories -- four categories in the statewide forum and these are them. we do not generally take a non-injury collision report. so that is why you see four categories. there are up slightly, but down in the most vulnerable number of ped and bicycle collision that. is a positive out of a negative right there. any questions about that slide? >> why do you think the numbers have decreased? >> we're very early on in this program, the education and enforcement. in 2014 the san francisco police department wrote more citations than in past history. >> i know district one has been really great on that. i'm curious how the other police districts have been? >> i believe that is the next

slide. and here -- no, i'm sorry. i have in my pocket i have the entire powerpoint presentation i gave last week to two different bodis that show what each police district is doing. some are up. some are down. there is a myriad of reasons why some are up-and-down. 1st quarter of this year, we had 20 funeral escorts, numerous dignity visits including the president and 40 citywide events including the bay to breakers that ties up a lot of resources. we're out there protecting the public in the interest of public safety. when we facilitate large events like that. these again are comparison numbers from '14, which again as i said we wrote more citations than we have ever written before.

the difference is 600 citations total to year-to-year. to we're down 2% year-to-date. >> i'm just curious for those stats, and going up quite a bit from last year it was going up quite a bit and now it's kind of stagnant. is it a matter of drivers actually paying attention a little bit more, or is it a matter of the resources for our patrolmen that would give citations or reduced because of other issues? >> i would hope to say it was the first example that you gave, that drivers are learning and not only is the person we're citing being educated, if you want to call it that. the person we pulled over being educated, but everyone that drives past during the encounter with the police officer, hopefully they are being educated as well to obey the law.

the second part we are issuing citations. you know since the end of november we have focused on congestion-calming, if you want to call that. oblock in the box south of market area and issued almost 4,000 citations to-date, five days a week. that takes away from our focus on the five primary collision factors. with that said, we'll continue to issue citations and i think the overall measure of success here is that collisions in general are down. >> yes. i appreciate that. do you have any more? >> i don't have any more slides. but i will answer any questions that you might have regarding traffic enforcement. >> why don't i open up to questions from the presentation? commissioner mar? >> i know mr. maguire

mentioned the education plan and i'm really pleased about that. and in many ways i think we have moved a lot from being nice/look twice to really good strategies. i did want to say that since the death of sophia liu, the young child on new year's eve, 2013 to mr. yee, the 87-year-old man in my district and two weeks ago the 12-year-old from apto school and i'm really appreciative of the strategies that we're using. but whether it be subcommittees within the education task force, so that community groups and pedestrian safety, bicycle safety advocates could plug-in and participate. >> absolutely, john knox white has details for how that strategy rolls out, but one important piece of the strategy there is a need for it to be authentic and to be culturally

competent and there is a need to reach every san franciscan in a language and in a way that is actually meaningful to them. so in some cases that is sort of a formal public service announcement. in other situations it's my much more community-driven education strategy and john will layout the details of that. >> my apologies for jumping the gun before item no. 5. i wanted to ask about the various efforts of the mta's making progress on 13-miles of safety improvements in the two-year action plan? i am wondering how many of those miles are in communities of concern, low-income, heavily dangerous areas with communities of low-income people in them. >> i don't know the exact number in the 2015 work program, but i would be happy to come back with that. i know a large number of

streets are in communities of concern. >> from past presentations you have shown the overlay of 170 miles of corridor that overlaped with some of the lowest income of polluted areas in the city. i just wanted to know how you define what a "safety improvement" is? what separates it from a safety improvement to more aesthetic or another kind of upgrade of a project? >> we're calling it "safety improvement." anything that uses a tool to improve through research and engineering practice to reduce the risk of crashes on the street. so it does not include i guess what you would call street scaping or beautification, but does include new traffic signals, stop signs, pedestrian bulb-outs and redesign. >> or even daylighting making

it safer, it's not purely aesthetic or a renovation of something already existing? >> correct. >> okay. thank you. >> in the past, we talk about the vision zero projects of 24 and to encourage us to look at those other projects that are not included in this, but there is funding to get it done. for me, it would be the ones that get funded through the participatory budgeting process. is there a reason why that is not included in the report >> well, i didn't put it in the report because i wanted to give a high-level overview of where we are with the engineering. i can go through the nine priority projects from
