ask captain conley. >> no problem. >> i apologize the former prosecutor is concerned about the number of shootings within the last week and the number of homicides looming it there is activity in mroukt and broad we worked and i worked as a prosecutor i'm sure there is correlation i see in the bayview and the central and the mission district with officers on the street and one in central i'm concerned about why do you think so many shootings happened last week whether or not we had an adequate number of officers or the dream force were we able to do in pro-active law enforcement looking at individuals that are involved in those crimes what is the solution and what do you think this is one of the worse

homicide reports i've seen since i've been on the commission. >> just to address there is ongoing investigation and there are some links to some of the shootings i can't go into that. >> i don't expect you to. >> you're right the terryville or lakeview had to murders and no murders since 2015 the end of 2015 was the last murder there was a thought two homicides make linked they're investigating and that is addressed at the town hall meeting with supervisor avalos and the captain of attorney value they're addressing that in the last few weeks we've had shootings across 8 police districts so there is no rhyme or reason their are a lot of them not linked and some of the shootings no people struck in one case the car description the

car that was described was later involved in a cash crash with on of r one of our black and white unit an geneva avenue and the subject jumped out so that person was taken into custody and casings in the vehicle and they matched the description of the shots fired it looks like the same person that happen to be seen by one of our marked unit and see if this is a same person no rhyme or reason and there was a scattered deployment of officers people may have take advantage and most of shootings after midnight two or three in the morning and a lot of them walked to the hospital. >> commissioner dejesus. >> both of you and so and then commissioner walker.

>> i had a question we're talking about a one week period we're talking about 5 homicides. >> no i'll have to take a look for the reporting period. >> yeah. 3. >> plymouth and . >> how many shootings were there. >> shootings? there were 11 total but out of 11 i believe only 5 actually had victims and the rest were shots

fired >> commissioner mazzuco i was on one hand any pattern that would show you answered that thank you. >> commissioner wong. >> i want to thank chief chaplin to come out to this meeting organized and commissioner kim and commissioner peskin and add to the chiefs investigation that the department has been a special hotline to take the chief dedicated a police officer to kwoupt i'm happy to hear you guys covered this a victim stepped forward i would urge the chief and the expand staff to keep this in the press so folks

will feel comfortable in reporting cases thank you. >> thank you with that, i'm going to turn it over to captain for the professional standards presentation. >> good evening and welcome. >> >> good evening commissioner president loftus and commissioner vice president turman and director joyce hicks and chief chaplin a brief overview the this morning at the 11:00 a.m. the department of defense gave a report based on the review process under the placing last 6 months the areas are a reminder was use of force and bias and community policing and accountability and hire in the report they identified 940 finding of 200 and 2 recommendations the next steps for us as we review this the consent and the findings and recommendation we'll interact those recommendations into a magical

we have and is magical includes the doufg o doj report and he blue ribbon panel and the task force on the 21st century policing and the civil grand jury and the t oc recommendations we need to prioritize those and we have an month deadline to comply with the doj recommendations the next steps the strategy and implementation which we hope to present in the coming weeks. >> steps taken so for many policies are under review we have initiated the bias training the leadership training, fair and partial police taking training and the of us on the general order it is generally a process for the department of

human resources we initiated and enrolled the body cam should be completed prior and ongoing crisis intervention training and our data collection we were part initiative we've taken the report and made notifications to the department members and community shareholders the public directives to all stakeholders and have feedback we've created an e-mail portal so the community can provide feedback on the report that will say published forth coming we have mandated that the entire report is made for reading for all members of the police department and progress will be posted to

our website regularly as recommendations are implemented and that is the conclusion. >> so; is that true? captain i know that you gave a presentation i think that was about 3 weeks ago was a number of updates on the magical and the plan and the next steps owen this is a good reminder obviously today colleagues, i would share with all of you that one of the points that director davis i attended did press conferees and one of the points that director davtsz made from the cops office the confidence in working in san francisco is a large part because of the structures specifically in the police commission where the department can say get the support and on the number of recommendations obviously a number of them doj with willing

to provide reports overnight that's a process and captain conley if you could see the look on his face that commission will play an important role in having monthly updates from the principle policing bureau as you may know we get monthly updates by the magical you're putting together and the process is san francisco anything that will be essential to share that not only with us as commissioners by the board of supervisors you noted in the cops report it does direct or suggest strongly that both the commission and the board of supervisors require quarterly reporting on those recommendations and we think are taking it to have been at a higher standard monthly we'll continue that

i will say that while the 18 months is a timeline i understand from doj is there will be a 6 month update and there are be a 12 month update this commission will be able to track the progress as well as the public and community members and watch where obstacles are rising up we can together think through them to be clear and not surprised when we get the report from doj we'll hear those and discuss those at the commission colleagues, any comments or questions on this. >> scomplakz. >> oh, commissioner wong. >> oh, commissioner dejesus. >> i've been reading this since this morning that is a lot to read this by today, i'm wondering if we'll have an opportunity to talk about this report is it going to be scheduled so we can at least

have a real presentation from the doj or we can discuss some of the recommendations. > in the coming weeks as we develop this implementations plan and schedule i'll be back to present the plans to you to tell you how we'll lay out moving forward it is again, the report was issued this morning i think it will it takes time to absorb and reflect and as we move forward we'll identify the stream as possible to create this. >> i appreciate that i guess the problem in the report it directs the city that the city to give you the funds to do some certificate things you can come back and tell us how to structure but in terms of technology in terms of getting that expert in here to design the protocol it talks about getting people trained within

the next 6 or 16 months or a year the entire force trained whether you'll have the money for the hiring of additional trainers for like to fall within here you can come back and talk about how you implement that but what they're saying the deficiency in terms of actually providing fund whether emergency basis or what can be done immediately and putting into our budget for next week on a continual basis we've been talking for years about the traffic stops and the word and filed in a file cabinet and it is 5 or 6 years we keep on talking about it i think we need this commission needs to discussion what is the priority what are some of the things and

go about working with the city and getting this fund so you can have the tools or develop the tools you need you think the chief talked about an expert as a specialist not someone to put out an rfp but i think the chief sucked an emergency basis for the thing we need now not the next 18 months but put it out to discussion it. >> those are all good points commissioner mazzuco we invited the cops office to make a presentation to the commission they don't as a federal entity make presentations to both sides next week some commissioners were able to get a briefing from the cops office and share more about it i think we can talk about whether next week is sufficient time to go through all the reports and this has to

be a obgyn breathing be document we begin next week to go into it further i agree that is the place to have the conversations not without certainly a significant investment in the data system you're correct not new to the commission commissioner vice president turman. >> i was going to comment the doj commented today correct me if i am wrong but at the press conference they will be providing technical saufrs through the process as well as providing experts in some of the specific areas that commissioner dejesus raised and she's quite right that data collection how we gather it data and how we moved on an ongoing basis this is important we'll provide other

assistance to - how this gets paid for will be city and county comblaefr a priority for the mayor to implement those these recommendations we'll be making serious requests. >> commissioners the developments has provided technic assistance we initiated a conversation in addition to we've within in close contact with the mayor's office about the next steps and what that means in terms of direct costs those are all conversations that are happening currently they'll continue to happen and as they progress i will report on the progress. >> commissioner marshall. >> i'm sorry, i think that commissioner vice president turman raised a point i wanted to make i'll ask the office

computed looking at other cities responses to similar perform processes so we have a lot of help doing that that would be helpful. >> i want to add they talk about the commission itself and how we're structured and we should after we get time to go through this we should talk about how to improve on the structures not within the departments purview. >> and just for commissioner marshall said part of the technical assistance they pay for the train and they will apply officers to other departments one of the 15 departments on the it a and talk about you can what they did and how they implemented some of the recommendations this is a huge part to go to someone in the process at the beginning and to the end and that's something we'll address once sending the

officers to go to the other departments to look how they implement the standards in place. >> that's great the last thing eye i appreciate captain the benefit we have the two civil grand juries report and the blue ribbon panel and the bar association data report and presidents 21st century policing report and the occ recommendations all those pieces have been forwarded to the doj they were factored into this report the idea can question really have a blueprint a road map that take advantage of the pieces and give us a clear direction this is an opportunity with the magical and the strategy plan the last thing i'll say director davis said 1 departments nationally are

opening up the books and saying what can we be better and there was virtuosa significant amount of i would say recognize that's a hard process and opening up yourselves to scrutiny not that common and 15 departments income tax have done that that is a sign of the strength of this department and the relationship of every community across the city so while there are hard pieces in this report for everyone to understand especially officers that are working everyday this is supposed to help us get to a better place i appreciate the hard working captain conley how organized to look at everything and chief chaplin the department wants to get better and make

many together to be stronger with very much my takeaway and plenty of work i want to acknowledge you for opening up to the process. >> thank you very much i want to say that san francisco was kind of unique this this process but this is the most expansive report and did that for a reason i believe over one hundred and 50 other agencies looking at this rolling it out i want to make san francisco and model and most of departments were brought up to standards income tax looking for san francisco to be the roll model for the rest of the country so some of the recommendations are cutting-edge romanced for 21st century policing quite frankly is not done in any jurisdiction it is a challenge and we're at the front and rewarding at the end and we're around to see it

at the end we'll be better for it it is getting an outside look at the performance and going introduce a tough phase and we embrace this report and the mayor said wee bit we're going to it to implement it and oh, captain conley. >> and as you read the report i had the ability to read it several times but to insure you there are significant parts of blue ribbon panel the occ recommendation and the civil grand jury components are in the report they didn't delineate it as such we go back to the magical we'll do a line by line comparison that demonstrates the recommendations their enumerated in the report. >> that would be helpful. >> we look forward to the partnership with the occ and that effort i know that the report did delineate the opportunity part of opportunities that we have to be

a model to take advantage of not only the police commission but the role of the occ in partnering with the department to address a lot of these those details will unfold thank you, captain conley for your presentation. >> that concludes the chiefs report. >> inspector, next item. >> item 3 b occ director's report to allow the directors to report on occ activities and make rosters more the monthly statistical report for september 2016. >> good evening director joyce hicks. >> good evening commissioner president loftus and sdmurm commissioners chief chaplin and members of the public yesterday occ senior staff members and i met with community oriented policing services director ron davis and his team an is collaborative reform

initiative technical assistance assessment of the san francisco police department we've heard in in daily about the report and next week the agenda permitting i'll like to provide the commission with the role that the office of complaints will play in the implementation of these recommendations and one of the things that director davis stressed to the office of complaints is the unique opportunity that the occ has along with the police commission and civilian oversight we're unlike any other civilian oversight agency in the united states and in reviewing the report in

some detail we did note at the occ that there were several opportunities for collaboration that were specifically appoint by cops and with very distinct timelines in particular in the area of accountability in the area of force and the office of complaints sees this as an opportunity for improvement ourselves in our office as well as in the police department we see this as a partnership and look forward to moving forward with the police department today, i attended the press conference led by director ron davis and mayor ed lee in which the collaborative

reform process and in the report were described i came away from a quote from director davis it is on his website on the cops website the truth hurts but selective ignorance is fatality that applies to all of us i don't see this as simply the truth being hurtful to the police department but also it stinks for the occ as well we too want to do the best that we can do so i look forward to this partnership. >> moving to outreach efforts that the occ has made in recent days occ mediation and outreach doesn't salazar discussed mediation and police mediation with the new manager the

richmond mediation program and with the new york inspector generals office we're in touch with an office with the civilian oversight agencies throughout the country and throughout the world we had a thrilled monthly meeting on the occ work with the community advocates and the police department on the crisis intervention responses to chaos calls and also the crisis intervene team and senior investigator and another over when i was in the audience this evening made a presentation at the san francisco police department comedy regarding occ function that was to the 200 and 51 accounting regional class

port of recent activity. >> is this commissioner hwang. >> commissioner dejesus. >> are you done really - are you done. >> i'm finished with one report and a second report but. >> sorry. >> i don't know if it was called. >> on this report you mentioned he said some of the truth hurts but it - thinking about that there are other parts of maefks e matrix we need to look at the discussion how we'll go forward and fight for our priors and i call constructive criticism of this department so

give us their review so we can calendar it and discuss it as well. >> yes. and in response to commissioner dejesuss remarks one reads that some members of the community say they never heard back from the occ about the resolution of their complaint, of course, the immediate response is but that we do send letters out with our finding and however i don't think that is the ends of the story probably the beginning of the story and what we have

looked at as an office when someone waits a year to receive a letter perhaps they are no longer there or it is just doesn't feel like they were looked after speaks for itself or needs were met so even before this report came out as we went through the process with the task force and in hearing what the community had to say we revised our processes to send out periodic letters to the complaints they still have your complaint if there is any additional information to provide we'll do that there is the beginning the story because of the specific recommendations from cops were electricity am i correct? and the police department should

jointly provides the communities with information and community setting so that was a very link answer to a commissioner dejesus moving on to the september certificate report in september the occ mediated four cases and to date as of september 30th the occ has mediated 40 cases similar to last year, we mediated 41 and you have the statistical information on a number of complaints by a number- but i will discuss the chiefs proposed discipline on occs sustained complaint in september that didn't mean those are necessarily the contemplates that the occ completed with the

same finding that in september means these are the occ complaints that the chief addressed in september there were 4 of them 3 of them were neglect of duty and one was unwarranted action the first one has to do with with plain clothes officers making traffic stops and generally their prohibited from doing so unless their excellent circumstances we didn't find those the chief agents those allegations means that the officer violated the policy we recommended a reprimanded and retrained it was a class violation under the discipline guidelines that was adopted by

the police commission the lowest level of discipline and the first level that is recommended we have a written reprimand we recommended the chief have an mrosht and retraining moving to the second case and the failure on the part of a sergeant to issue a certificate of release after hand cuffing i recommended a reprimanded and retrained the third case and the second neglect of duty case involved the complainant requesting a private person arrest the officer did not facilitate

that arrest and the officer should have prepared an incident report katy recommended a reprimand and the chief concurred with that and also retraining and finally this was in an inaccurate description of a traffic code violation i recommended a written reprimand the chief determined it was a violation a training failure and that concludes my report. for september. >> thank you director joyce hicks commissioner vice president turman. >> did you have any comments why you proposed the discipline on number 1, 2 or 4. >> on number one waited wait

it was the handcuffs that's the airline. >> this is the plain clothes officer s who cite the complainant for double parking and so i recommended a written reprimand and you recommended reprimanded and retrained do you have - >> i do i'm looking at it on that particular within they didn't want to delay the complainant unnecessarily for a black and white to come to that location there was some safety issues cited with regards to the location that's why i went on that particular one my question on the number two is that the airport? >> i don't have the breakdown of that one. >> that maybe - >> i believe that was a airport

a person was detained by a airport personnel there were going to miss their flight to the officer wrong side a certificate to allow the person not to miss in their flight they got on their flight and went back and filed a certificate of relief that's why i went down the officer helped the person not detained to miss their flight. >> and on number 4 i think that was the last one you asked about the inaccurate traffic citations the police officer gave the right code but there's ambiguity they're close in numbers i mean in meaning so the officer use the wrong subsection

and knowing what that particular section meant. >> anything further for director joyce hicks thank you director joyce hicks. >> you're well commissioner president loftus. >> sergeant, next item. >> >> c-3 commissioners and wanting report. >> colleagues he shared that i was able to participate along with commissioner vice president turman and dr. marshall in a briefing by the cops office on the report it was a high-level briefly similar to what was at press conference we agendize for next week and share more about what was highlighted from the perspective the cops office and anything from fellow commissioners to add. >> no okay sergeant, next item. >> i'm sorry commissioner

everybody knows never mind of how well make sure that commission is taking the action and various steps to make sure those are advanced with that, anything additional to put on we have not discussed. >> you mean the calendar. >> excuse me - >> pit on the calendars commissioner dejesus. >> so talk about eis not only that was a staff shortage in the eis none of the meeting governing board took place through the 2017 calendar year we got a presentation 6 months ago and since then thees the board has met regularly for 2017 and for the first two quarters and now we have - i have a specific questions i've been asking to look at the eis

so what i did i put together questions that i think they should address so i want to give to them for their next presentation to address and understand that the occ has mr. alden gone to the meetings and up to date so the last question i asked for the occ to also to make recommendations regarding the eis project i know that it was 8 years ago recommendations that for eis none of those have been implemented and some are sixth i think they asked us to put one 48 in as a factor i want to get those questions answered and hopefully, the occ will comment on that. >> thank you commissioner mazzuco we asked you to take the lead you were part of it being

is a lot of previous security cameras on the street i'm wondering if a let me know and a hook up to the police commission you don't know which car will fire a bullet but on the home at the corner of a block you can see what cars have left that area at a point i'm wondering if there's a way for the police and communities to speed up of linkage joanne walker i want to reiterate just the talents that very few of us have maybe because she knows how to meander without threatening people but i'll encourage her to encourage the department to open doors for this woman and let her establish again, a mid way they'll the 0

police officer will be there but other people i call ajdz not to a hospital a not to jail that is in two minutes i can't rough that one out and that's it thank you. >> thank you, sir. >> next speaker >> good evening and welcome. >> good evening commissioners david san franciscans for police accountability myself and several members of the public pa were at the press conference we want to tell you the community is distrust of the cops their meeting were disrupted a strong demand a pattern and practice investigation on the other hand, the community has been supportive of blue ribbon panel the communities you know came to the board of supervisors hearing

last week it was very engaged in the b rp process we haven't had time to vet the cops report our first take the assertion that are folded in the all the other reports we're not seeing that okay. let me give you two extremely glaring examples of where the cops report is a lot less substantial and - everybody is acknowledging that there is a tremendous audit problem with the san francisco police department and yet the cops report is calling to self-audit an inspector he general an different system you know the sfpd didn't have a good record of auditing itself not a good record at all the glaring difference he found in the quick

announcement was the b rp had a very thorough investigation of racism in the racist cultural within ray marshall you know that was a central part of what he did nothing in the cops report going through that expiate for x training so we'll we're going to present that to you next week thank you. >> thank you is there any additional public comment on 3 a there d hearing none, sergeant, next item. >> >> item 4 discussion and possible action supporting vision zero and automated speed enforcement action. >> so we have nicole from walk sf coping up and chief anyone from the department here tonight

on this no. >> come on this commission and the department under chief suhr early supporter of the city's vision zero approach to ending serious injuries and fatalities happening on our street by 2024 which is is big goal not only improvement but engineering all a across the city to save lives this commission as you may know from your quarterly update tracked the roll to make sure the driven policing for the 5 types of violations most likely to result in a collision all of that by the way, background we've been asked to create and pass a resolution to - we have a presentation a few weeks ago but confirmations want more time

and edits to this to make it clear you'll have a couple of times this resolution is vertebral to the public as well as a report from the office of controller by automated speed enforcement i'll give that introduction and ask nicole to take it from there. >> i'm here on behalf of san francisco small business commission we've been working closely with the city of san francisco police commission and many commissions sfmta and the brokering to gather input and support for this important legislation what automated enforcement i'll provide a brief refresher what automated speed enforcement does we call safety cameras to take pictures of the license plates of directives who are speeding

over the speed limit the exact number will be part of the legislation it probably between 6 to 8 miles over the speed limit a photo will be snapped of the license plate felt vehicle a citation will be issued not a civil or criminal offense but a civil offense no need to take a picture of the face not an opportunity for bias and another they know to note that the cameras will not be rolling 24/7 but only taking a picture when someone is speeding over the speed limit so they're not general surveillance cameras the way the legislation is written it is specific on how the information is shared it will be very you know currently the draft legislation has a lot of

permissions for privacy this would be treat in the same thing with the red light violations they're not shared unless there is some sort of petition by the police department are another body to get that information so there they're very persist the biggest thing that is pretty much the most effective way to reduce speeding and really quick and easy to implement so we want to be able to implement that on streets there are no speeding related to traffic deaths in washington, d.c. they adopted automated speed enforcement over 10 years their traffic deaths dropped by 70 permeation we're looking at chief of police vision zero in the next 7 and a half years we've got a lot more work to do and use all the tools this is one of those tools so

this resolution to urge or add the police department name to our list of supporter it requires state legislation to allow us to use this technology we have a long battle ahead but hope you'll lend our support and input nothing set in stone we're curious toe hear your input. >> thank you nicole the co-relation in this resolution studies show if a pedestrian is hit by a 40 mile-per-hour vehicle the pedestrian will be killed but 20 mile-per-hour 10 percent the pedestrian will be killed in chance i'm clear that you know probably many people know that speeding is incredibly dangerous to pedestrian on the streets so colleagues do you

have questions for nicole on this resolution again, we're not adopting the technology it is showing as part of our vision zero that will help keep people save in the city and it will ultimately be up to sacramento commissioner dejesus. >> i understand the whole concept and some of the privacy concerns it is also what is underused if they're not able to sell that information that is important i assume that will be taken care of in the legislation one of the thing is points out is revenue that a lot of cities tends to eye 24 as revenue every 5 miles on the freeway another dmaerm is a fine you get 10 fines and used to generate revenue that's a concern because we see in ferguson that is one of the things that the

police department did to the people citizens thought that town therapy forever in debt to the city court so that's a concern i don't know from the legislation - but need to know the perimeters of that. >> we thought through that i can address that we we are hoping to which kind of not legislation that is a certain time limit within that time limit. >> can't get more than one violation that didn't happen and the next thing we're working on the citations are issued similar to the parking ticket and mta as part that have they have a certification program if you can't afford it you can do community service in lui of that we're factoring that into our program in san francisco i don't know if that is spelled out in the legislation by part of the implementation in san francisco

because this legislation could potentially include other cities that might not have that ability but that's definitely things we considered and definitely don't want that to disproportionately impact our protecting communities to create future or larger crimes out of certificatiocitation because our protecting folks suffer disproportionate. >> further questions for nicole before we get to public comment. >> i'm sorry commissioner wong. >> how do you select the sites for the camera. >> the dpw and others are foufrth the methodology but we want to make sure that they are on high injury corresponds so the 12 percent of streets that

accountability for offering 70 percent of accidents we're trying to fourth how to integrate an equity component for instance, in the tenderloin protecting communities most of the people that are hit are not driving by in the bayview or mission that might look different to make sure we are equitablely implementing the camera is one of the questions we're you think ravel so we're - we're promising a community process before implementation and there will be approval and community engagement through that process and also awareness so before any cameras turn on and get placed people will be wonder and there will be a warning period so people know

they're coming we don't want this to be a revenue janitor but not generate revenue if you guys have ideas please let us know. >> my last question all over the city or targeted areas. >> target areas well, we don't have a set number of cameras wear proposing at this point but the areas where speed is related to injure so you wouldn't see it for instance, on a slow residential street you might see it in school zones we have reflexes of crashes or history of crashes so it all depends on we're definitely not take into account one district over another over and over things like that. >> questions for nicole nicole thank you thank you for all your hard work and all your

requesters years of partnering you factor into those things around equity and protecting kids and seniors i know you take it personal and doing everything we can in partnership with other folks bicyclist coalitions to keep your streets safe we'll go ahead and do public comment mr. gil gilbert. >> is there a possibility we can cross-file that camera work with stolen vehicles will that file be available to those cameras that are taking photos of 6 miles per hour speeding auctions get cross-checked with stolen vehicle files?

will it help? >> is there any additional public comment? >> before we take a vote it is on this item ms. brown do you want to provide a brief response? >> we have thought about how you know could this data be used for other things and given the privacy concerns it is likely it wouldn't be used because we want to keep this information confidential but all of that is sort of occult we're consulting with the aclu and keep you posted. >> thank you all right. is there any additional public comment on this hearing none, so i'll ask

for a automated speed enforcement. >> so moved. >> is there a second. >> all in favor, say i. >> i. >> opposed? that item passes. >> all right. thank you everyone sergeant, next line item. >> item 5 public comment. >> address the commission on items not on tonight's agenda within the jurisdiction of the commission. the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or departments or occi personnel. department, occi or commissioners are to respond to questions but may provide a brief response. the commissioners, occi, nor the police commission should enter into debates and please limit your comments to 3 minutes, please. please limit our comment

the communities. >> is there any additional public comment? >> general public comment. >> mr. gilbert welcome back. >> this is why we come issues open file i - when a person applies to be a police officer in san francisco their file is open their performance is open file and an event they're involved they're open file cameras i like cameras if a police officer is involved in an incident where a camera needs to be viewed and seen i'm believing that the public needs to see that within twenty-four hours after the patrol man sees

it his or her and things in the unrest release the video across the country twenty-four hours is good it gives the ois to review it and gets the citizens involved and instead of having lengthy drone out investigations people need to see that and crisis intervention team needs to be a mid way 3 young gals were here at the platform and talking one says the uniforms is for the approachable and another one where's the 21st century policies and another one a policeman is not - a gunless policeman will have a

>> hello i am i can with a

week of women voters along with the league and sfgov tv i'm here to discuss opposition h ballot measure before the voters on tuesday, november 8. the city currently does not have a particular official or central office is possible for overseeing how city departments interact with the public. some city offices provide opportunities for the public to obtain information to court problems were submitted to this request. currently the comptroller is that achieves chief accounting officer and auditor. the comptroller monitor the level and effectiveness of city services. the controller also oversees the city's whistleblower program which receives and investigates confidential complaint regarding misuse of city funds and improper activities. the city's officer of citizen complaint investigates complaints of misconduct and neglect of duties like these officers in a

filed as binary charges against officers. opposition h is a charter amendment that would great to position a public advocate. the public advocate will be elected at a citywide election and serve a four-year term. under proposition h the public advocate would investigate and attempt to resolve complaints from members of the public concerning city services and programs. receive and investigate potential whistleblower complaint regarding city services and programs. review the administration of service programs and management practices and contracting procedures and make recommendations to improve them and appoint an director of the office of citizen complaint words successor from nominees selected by the police commission subject to the board of supervisors approval. the comptroller would continue to handle whistleblower, regarding misuse of city funds in a position where you will make city hall to provide the public advocate was sufficient funding and support staff with at least 25 people. the public advocate

may also hire independent experts who could be exempt from some of the cities contracting rules. a yes vote means you want to amend the charter to grade the position of public advocate responsible for investigating and attempting to resolve of the complaint concerning city services and programs. no vote means you do not want to make these changes. i'm here with john golinger from the campaign and a proponent of proposition o russell joined by marcy berry from the san francisco libertarian party opponent of the measure. thank you both for being here. >> thank you. >> alike to start with the opening remark some will go out and start with you, john. he was chartered am here to urge voters to vote yes on proposition g the public advocate is an event watchdog that take the public at sole job will be to make sure san francisco's are getting fairly treated by government. you are 10 a public advocate in office for more than two decades. just

the last years the public advocate is a more than 20 times the taxpayer money it costs to run the office. i can go into how they do that were really the public advocate is a truly independent agency rainout you got most of the departments are run by the mayor's office. the supervisors are in office but they have a broad responsibility and no one has sort of the sole independent job to answer citizen complaint when we are getting falling through the cracks through the theocracy and shine a spotlight when you need with department of public or so other parts are wasting money or not solving problems. that will be the public advocate job if we passed proposition h >> thank you. >> thank you for having us again. i think john mentioned what i was going to mention it number one, yes, indeed, we are creating a whole new department. we already have all kinds of department, all kinds of bureaucracies. all kinds of things that take care of things that fall through the cracks. so it seems like it's creating a whole new level of government

a shadow government it is not in our interest. yes, indeed, new york has had a public advocate. the interesting part is that the newspapers are full of indications that this public advocate is completely dysfunctional and has created more problems than she is worth. also, now there is an outright to remove the office of the public advocate for the simple reason that it simply is useless. we are against this because one, the government is way too big already. 30,000 employees. two, $9.6 billion in budget he want more? no. simply not acceptable. >> thank you marcy. were going to start with some questions in the first question is going to go first to marcy. that is, what function with a public advocate serve that is not or cannot be accomplished by other city departments? >> in my own opinion there is no function. i think one of the supervisors mentioned that this

will be a completely superfluous layer on top of what we have right now. so it's not like the board of supervisors are totally in favor of this. there are those who are saying, why are we trading a new layer when we already have all these things. we have, you know, gazillions of boards. many commissions. what are they doing? why are we holding these people accountable? >> the question to you >> sure. the reason that independent groups like the league of women voters are supporting opposition h san francisco city hall is not working i get we've spent $3 million more in the budget in the last three years. are you getting $3 billion more at of your government? no one is really squeezing the departments to make sure the job gets dumped it marcy says there's no examples. here is one. airbnb the right now 11,000 airbnb units been rented in san francisco. 1600 of them are actually licensed under all.

the other 10,600 are illegal. we called airbnb office every day last week they did not even answer the phone. the authors the mayor sent to enforce out you are not doing the job. no one is really making sure that when the problems that for san francisco's out of their homes if you go down the list of not getting solved. that would put the spotlight on the agency and force them to do their job. i think marcie and i agree the government should be working. the question is how to get it. we say it is broken. so let's fix it could prop h will not assert that every poem but it's early well >> thank you, judge and second question and we'll start with you. given the price-estimate of between 2.8-$3.5 million annually, we feel the public advocate is a good value for the city? >> sure. personal point out the real opponent libertarian party i think is ideologically opposed to most measures on about good i respect that but the real opponents of this measure the real estate

industry airbnb, mayor's office, and others who like things the way they are now. the price tag what's on about the 24 measures is $1 billion. the only ones that these opponents are opposing most of them, are the ones like prop h would scrutinize how the to spend the billion dollars. this would cost less than one half of one percent of what is being proposed without this november under an array of michigan were not spent a little bit of money jews get they should the rest is getting spent properly and i would pushback on the cost. actual cost of passing prop h is 600-$800,000 in. the leak rate for jobs public advocate, deputy into a system. someday if the office go to maybe do the full extent of what we can envision it will cost more money. that is true but as in new york. we'll save in the engine if they do the job and they surely will. >> same question to you, marcy >> yes, it would seem to me i've never in my life seen a government program of any kind

kind that cannot expand and this is the reason why the libertarian party at john mentioned, is saying no to most things because it's an expansion of government that is not providing good value. by any means. so i would say i have a better solution, we have a better solution, then to create a new layer. we just simply need to hold what we have accountable. why are we doing this? why are we not performing our own duties? as voters? as people? who are going to benefit from good services. why are we supporting a dysfunctional government that is governing body ballot measures who is saying we can't agree on anything and therefore within a point out measures and the voters are going to have to decide. we don't want to decide anything. well, it's up to us voters to go out there and say, hey you guys are not performing.

we need to do it. we don't need -by the way it is not just 800,000 altered 800,000 is just the beginning. the ballot is the proposition itself allows for 22 people >> it's not >> do you want to read it >> i didn't be was if the comptroller says gordon reached 3.5 million were going to reach 3.5 million because that is the nature of government. >> thank you, marcy. organ at closing statements now and will start with you, john >> sure. opposition h is supported by a broad coalition event democratic party. these are groups that really want to make sure san francisco government works the way it supposed to and dispenses dollars wisely. we talked about airbnb being something that's caused in part caused the invention process the housing crisis and we need something to really make sure this is doing to stop to enforce that law

and. uni and. the public advocate referee jumped to one, information to make sure people get the information about how city government is working and know what we need to fix. investigation when citizen complaints 3112 the supervisors, directly to agencies, don't get resolved, which happens every day, they know where else to turn project were they going to cost you marcy one the? no. you're either going to give up or bang their head against the wonky: the same agency that did not help them in the first place in new york and there's no public outcry detriment of the office in new york the last public advocate was a authority became the mayor of newark built lazio. the public advocate would be a court of appeal the people could go to and lastly legislation it if need be, the public advocate could introduce legislation to solve the problem but really its powers are to scrutinize government, squeeze the dollars to make sure they're getting spent to be a place that citizens can go for relief if not getting anyone in san francisco. >> thank you, junkyard closing statement, marcy >> my question would be why are we voters, you and me and everybody in the room are

allowing a dysfunctional government that is governing body ballot measures, by putting things on the ballot simply for the fact of it acquiring power, shifting power from the mayor from the board of supervisors into interest groups and why are we micromanaging to the point that we need to expand government exponentially in order to take care of all the micromanagement that we are imposing. we have a saying in the libertarian party that governments at all levels has a habit of creating a problem and then putting legislation upon legislation to solve that problem. this is a perfect example. we create problems such as for instance a

dysfunctional government that we, the people, have elected. then we create legislation to solve that problem. i say, go back. start from scratch. you know, threaten every single official to get them out of office until they behave. i would say that would be a duty of voters. rather than be creating more stuff in hopes of shifting power for public interest. >> thank you, marcy. and thank you both for your comments and for your time. we hope that this discussion has been informative. for more information on this and other ballot measures in this years election, these visit the san francisco elections website at sf elections.org. remember early buildings of it what city hall monday through friday 8 am-5 pm. you can also vote at city hall on the weekend before election day. if you don't vote early be sure to vote on tuesday, november 8. >> >>

chang did you want to say anything about the federal and state legislation. >> good morning it's been a while sins i've been here thank you for having me. and i want to cover a couple of things one or two items that relate to the matrix we had a sponsor bill give you a brief urban design on the special session that comes back to life to fund transportation and i'll give you details on that and a little bit about cap & trade and take questions disdains the authority supported legislation by assemblyman david chiu it is nice working with a someone i've known for a while and he and his office i'll contributed this

success of that hard work just justin that did a job ab 2374 approved by the allergic and the governor will grant construction manage procurement authority to the transportation authority specifically for work on the yerba buena island retrofit and what made it a exclamation is the addition on behalf of placinger for federal aid bridge replacement in the american river called the james yankee bridge they're okay with moving forward with transportation authority and have full support of transportation that's the full success. >> your delivery team it

excited we're suggesting that ab x one 26 by essential committee chair francisco's is added as a watch a $7 billion annual program for transportation funding focusing mainly on fix it first and state of good repair for state and local roads it has should relatively high levels of new gas taxes and so forth the reason we recommend watch a converted effort to collaborate with the fellow members of the legislature to bring down the costs and put this system together that might attract the 2/3rd's vote and a special session bill if this year changes we'll be able to come back and alert you to those changes and you'll take a formal

position at a point that's the recommendation of staff and a number of bills you took support or opposition during the year and in your packet a kind of summary of those bills and how they fair i'll point out a couple of key ones you had elected to support mtc ab 516 by mr. mullins that deal with the temporary license plates for new vehicles to be sort of the use of those temporary plates accelerate putting those vehicles in the system so on toll facilities they don't get free passage and ab 1574 you support this bill with regulation of tour buses this one didn't move forward a different measure moves

forward and i'll cover that in a second was left on the in active fill and supported ab 1591 the chairman frazier the regular session has adjourned that bill is not viable but ab x-126 the bigger robust passage the second of mr. allen's bills first ab 2 supporting one and later ab 1645 the subject of opposition that deal with shuttle loading and unloading failed passage in time before the session adjourned, however, i would appoint did introduce a bill special session so if we get to a point the special session is reengaged a possibility i'll try to move

that legislation a lot lee through the focus is not on the thirty or 40 bills beyond the scope of the transportation bill we'll be monitoring that closely the ab 1677 which is mr. ting's bill is the measure relayed to the tour buses that passed the legislature and that provides the portfolios protocol to make sure the safety inspections are done in time it is similar at the end of the day to mr. chiu's bill i did mention mr. chiu's ab 7 the supported bill and in addition another relayed c gmc that related with the reject projects that the state can undertake on the states from 6

to 12 that passed and one you supported. >> and i think those are the highlights i wanted to brurngs and an overall bring you up to speed in june the governor issued a proclamation s x special session one and fall there were two or three major hearings around the state to understand the nature of the problem confronting the local government in terms of funding for state of good repair for the systems subsequent to that legislation was introduced in regular session and some in special session this at this time under fraziers legislation is the one we recommend putting a watch on development in concert with the

chairman of the transportations they're no like mind but to work together to bring some of the taxes that will garden more legislative support. >> what is mr. fraziers district. >> it is basically from saloma to east contra costa county it is unusual for a special session to continue even through in the rule continue technically until the end of the technical legislation end that journeyed for the recess at the end of august it would run the course to the ends of november and focused discussions between the speaker and the pro tem and other speakers in the legislature and waiting until a day or to undertake an attempt to ask the legislation i've

referenced and other legislative that emerge in the period i know a lot of interest in cap & trade in may and august auction was dashed a lot of hopes they failed to identify now revenues they've retained one billion dollars for unexpended cap & trade revenues and then this summer spent $9 million of that that left $900 million of funds in cap & trade waiting pending my future thought he next auction how they those auction revenues fair in the meantime the couple of key programs that were funded with part of 9 four-hundred million dollars that was adopted included one and $35 million to

continue for the transit rail capital program the had issued a list of projects this it summer they intend to fund this money will insure with the funding is available for the next couple of years until we see where cap & trade goes and an automation augmentation and on the agenda this month in the process of including that additional $10 million as intended and finally there was a new program called transformative community that was ushered in by a los angeles legislature with one and $40 million but on the heels of governor approving the funding and the new program bill

an issue by the growth council in their rule making they intend to provide 50 percent of one and $40 million to the projects in fresno no and 25 to la was the third site yet to be selected so it will pay to be watching and monitoring that regulatory process they had their first open hearing yesterday and several more steps to go through i'll be collaboratively with our staff and making sure they have update information. >> can you explain what they mean by transformative community autopsy they're looking for planning and pofshl implementation projects of host of projects in a particular small portion of community they hope that 2 transforms the quality of life and produce the c s g that integrated has a mix

of projects that come together to i'm not sure the right word but to - >> it is more each one builds on each other not only on integrating but expands the g h reductions. >> knowing how huge la county is that is a drop in the bucket one and $40.40 percent in fresno and . >> i'm not sure how fresno came to the forefront but discussions between the mayor's office and the administration because all through the spring and summer we watched this budget develop and not sure a cap & trade program the mayor the current fresno

mayor was at the all the hearings in the and when this strategic rule making came out was earmarked for fresno i'm surprised but surprised they've been so forth coming. >> there are. >> couple of other issues i was going to talk about the trade bail that is only for backdrop 0 i'll focus on that by way of background legislation to earmark some of the federal money for the programs around the state and the chairman of the assembly transportation committee supported legislation to mirror the process we use for proposition 1-b that essentially gave each region a target so the mtc had a target for trade funding i only mention that has that bill was nearing the end of last

night session pretty late and another issue potentially more for the delegation of night club by a to the california to process rod and documentations and records of decision that has more of a pilot program with a sunset date at the end of this year and when the regular session was winding down none of the 3 bills that had been moving through the legislation were in the position to move forward and a issue to put 2 into the bill that moves along that fell apart on senate floor is night club by a documendocumenta documents th

can't push the sate to the felt level so a focus in the special section if it fires up and comes to fruition to try to extend this and it is a no 9 a k345ik9 complicated matter but that brings my presentation to a close and looking forward to next year i'm informed by staff they believe that san francisco mta will be pursuing the acknowledged recording legislation of the year potentially we'll be asked to collaborative with them and in

addition the other major thing that will probably emerge mtc measure 3 i assume the staff is working at tweaking that to shape it to the full board for the authority at the mta to move on that i know that they intend to collaborate with the san francisco chairman that chairs the issues i think that might be the venue that a lot of the issues will be sorted out that's a little bit of what to expect. >> commissioner yee. >> thank you, mr. watson i guess you're talking about all ' '. >> i may have gotten i thought that was mta but i may be wrong.

>> and if they're working on it to carry anything at this point. >> we've not been asked to assist i've been given the heads up something to work on in the next couple of months as we get ready for the new year. >> i wanted to thank mtc commissioner campos and i know that as you mention there's xiblth built into the funding and thank commissioner yee for the it is your both safety on the local level and good to see some of 3 at the state level let's open up for public comment anyone wish to comment seeing none, public comment is closed. thank you so much oh, we have a recommendation on the watch on the frazier ab x-126 is there a

motion on the recommendation there is a motion that has been seconded can we take that without objection? >> i don't know. i know no action needed. >> no action needed. >> okay mr. stamos in essence item. >> item 5 executing a memorandum of understanding with the treasure island development authority for the yerba buena not to exceed nine hundred thousands through 2018 and authorizing the executive director negotiate payment terms for or agreement terms and agreements an action item. >> and a report. >> eric deputy director happy to report i want to start with an update on the y b i ramps the item before you is a

construction contract change order related to that item. >> the picture tells the story the good news we are nearly complete with the new westbound on and off ramps of yerba buena island we're explicit reaching 95 percent and within the budget of 63 allocation and also happy to report we're meeting the disadvantage goal the ramps with planned to be open that last week in october we were finalizing the dates depending on the rain in the forecast but targeting the weekend of october 22nd to open up the on and off ramps westbound. >> just a little bit of final detail the construction is

complete we have some final local roadwork to tie-in and also some sdlaip we have a ribbon cutting that is schedule for friday, october 21st you got an invitation and indicated the final improvements should be finalized including the landscaping the item before you is what we're describing as a visa point to construct and have been working with caltrans and the treasure island authority for a new visas point on the u.s. coast guard when you look at the sketch caltrain it complete with things in reform very conducted and ready to open their bike landing that is in

orange there and could be the improvements that are extended at visas point are temporary but include a crosswalk to the u.s. coast guard quarters 9 properties which is a strategic location and provides very dramatic visas photographer moms and didn't includes bike beneficiaries and we are working with the bay area toll authority to have a shutter service so folks with messaged and park on treasure island and take the shuttle up to that area that area is a live active construction out there and funding is $2 million for all the improvements which is split 50/50 between the toll authority and the transportation authority the transportation authority

actually, the fund for the pa are from the federal highway bridge program and proposition retrofit program our intent to open visas point in the fall of 2016 hoping for the november, december timeframe and finally the item before you so execute agreements with tihdi they have the existing vendors self-important the janitorial maintenance and other services that will be required and in particular security so we're requesting executing align mou with tida for the operation services and not to exceed nine hundred thousands that concludes my presentation. >> thank you, sir. >> any questions then open up for public comment. >> commissioner yee. >> thanks for the presentation

looking at this. >> yes. >> seems like this is an on and off ramp ongoing west yes. >> off-ramp going west and east is there a off-ramp east. >> actually, let's talk about that that's a good question there was on eastbound off-ramp on the east side of the i'd like has been closed for 10 plus years that will be re-established as part of the overall improvements in the interexchange they'll open later this month on the left side of the photo the eastbound is open and caltrain updated that ramp recently and reopened it but the eastbound off-ramp is yet to be

opened in the latter part of mid to 2018. >> so you will open up on the right-hand lane and the one - >> yeah. till when you come from inform to on time and on budget your heading eastbound a left exit as your approaching treasure island that will be open as an off-ramp a better route to treasure island and the eastbound exit opens the east side of the tunnel will be a better exit if you go up to f b i mountain i forgot what you call it. >> all right. thanks. >> let's open up for public comment anyone wish to comment seeing none, public comment is closed. and is there a motion to recommend executing in mou with

tida for the visas point and there is a motion that has been seconded and colleagues without objection. >> mr. stamos thank you next item. >> >> the alameda update an informational item. >> good afternoon rachel an informational update on the district 9 neighborhood transportation improvement planning project that is a planning effort that is in response to the portal neighborhood association of 9 district community groups to look at improving public safety and at the combarj of alameda and bay boulevard and others boulevard underneath the ramps where 280 and 101 have an interchange we're at the point in the study we analyze the

feasibility of community preferred concept so the bicycle assess and safety improvements across the intersection and understand the faeblth an understanding of the costs we have a number of rounds of outreach and in the process of doing the final round of outreach this month i mentioned a district 9 planning project and let me talk through and give you ape overview verbally of the component of the improvement and have a bunch of pictures after this slide commissioner campos. >> thank you. can you can you talk a little bit about you've been this is something we've been working on for that quite some time if you can you talk a little bit about the involvement of the community in this process. >> definitely so the idea to do this study is is from the portal neighborhood association we have a started off with a

letter from portal neighbors describing some of the problems were at the supergreen change particularly the pedestrian safety to the farmer's market on the north side of alamany and there's a lot of folks that seek assess to the market west from alamany and south of alamany and south along san bruno in the neighborhoods in the portal and surrounding so there's a lot of gap in the pedestrian and bike network in this area getting from north to south across a.d. man and the farmer's market is a popular designation and we have - a lot of folks assessing the market created an informal path along underneath the ramps there so assess the market there is the only way to get there a

indirect path so those are some of the safety issues that the community so you get are us to address that's where the project that we looked came from is in response to the gaps in the bike network for people trying to assess the market and get though the area on bicycles and folks trying to assess the market and get into the area with the bicyclists and people of all ages especially getting to the farmer's market looking at 8 to safety improvements is volume part of what we need to look at so i mentioned the first set of improvements that could be delivered will include closing the gap in the bike network and the completion of bike lanes of class 2 bike parking spaces and class 1 bike parking spaces that exist exist to the east and west

and connecting to an existing bike lane on bayshore in the location between alamany and putnam the vehicular and right now the main formal assess to the farmer's market on alamany and bayshore a lot of freeway assess and egress travel and on the north side of alamany crossing alamany and finally at bayshore and alamany and then the second phase delivered the path we look at the desire line of both trying to crow alamany from san bruno or on the south on foot and okay. if we wanted to introduce a new assess point by foot to create a safe way to get across with a signal and

pasted path a fixed signal on both sides 0 pedestrian signal ramp where will this need to be and what will 2 look like and what will it cost so i'll show graphic los angeles counties this is a large scale an mulch of the study of the existing condition and the proposed it is a road died throughout - the left-hand side of the - i'm

going to show those areas in for comblal this the intersection of alamany going east with san bruno avenue and this is graphic illustrates first illustrates the bike lane gap being filed on alamany eastbound and it lawless some of the very near term pedestrians improvements that will gone along with that the curve extension pained curb extension with san bruno will be designed with other infrastructure with mta benign paint with the white strips and posts delineating that pedestrian says that a quick way to get this in soon and, of course, those curves could be converted to concrete curve extensions at some point we would also restripe the whole

area there is a lot of conversation for anyone going through there bicyclists and drivers how to position user in our trying to get to bay so shore the 101 on ramp and if you're trying to turn around and restriping that area and rationaleing the laborious will be something that will increase safety for vehicle drivers as well this is the cross section that would end up on alamany the cross section of 2 traffic lanes plus a protected buffered bike lane in each direction is what it looks like to the west and east we are extending that bike lane to a bike lane and a buffer and matching up on either the other side of alamany in the detail on that looks like

if you got alamany westbound and eastbound in the inspection with san bruno at the bottom part of diagram and that depicts the path right now folks are crossing san bruno alamany on the other hand, at san bruno without a signal or cross running cross there walking among side through the roadway on the unmaintained portion of right away and then crossing alamany at the north part of alamany without a signal we can install a form multi used by pedestrians and bicyclists a more direct connection to interrupting and little farmer's market it will put in opening a crook including having a signal

with a pedestrian walk signal at san bruno and alamany and as a matter of law one at the alamany westbound and the timing actually is pretty simple from a traffic flow perspective there is a san francisco general existing just a few yard to the east of this diagram as to these connecter intersects with alamany not a delay for people trying to drive through the area. >> we've completed the traffic analysis with caltrain support and fortunately, we find several enough roadway capacity to accommodate this without increasing traffic sybil and working with mta to adjust the

signal timing and to coordinate the signal timing that will be needed for 240 project with ongoing traffic signal work planned in the area and caltrain review and approval of the changes the striping changes and the signal timing changes to implement these improvements we recommend pursuing sort of two delivery phase-in parallel the first part could be done quickly with mta the striping project the road diets on alamany and then the more medicine term delivery would be of the pedestrian and bicycle multi use path that is because a project that requires more engineering by dpw dpw as looked

at that and we need to design for drainage interest there, there is flooding to the east of the area and make sure that path avoids of flooding and doesn't exacerbate any flooding and install the signals it is a little bit longer than of a project to deliver than the striping project but there are a lot of opportunities for grant fund these improvements first of all, this is an - project and look at it tip and commendation funding and prop k and capital funding to help to support the project a current general fund set aside to continue the next phases of implementation engineering of the project and will be very expensive for a number of grants this is on the vision zero net

high injury network that gives it a leg up against other competing projects the costs are relatively modest for the bike lane and the path together not more than $5 million and in fact, we think that is together certainly significantly less than $5 million altogether we've gotten great compute and involvement from matt and dpw and caltrain honestly and also support and doing outreach from the portal neighborhood association been great in giving us feedback and directing us to outlet groups in the community that has given us a lot of input so family connections particular a couple of different focus group sessions with defy groups within family connections coming up that's where we do a lot of cantonese outreach and going out to the farmer's market again in

month liquor earlier in the spring to get feedback from the folks assessing the market at the market we look forward to any other input or guidance you have for us the next time is after we've completed our outreach and made refinement to the disdain design have a clear implementation path to present thank you. >> commissioner cohen then commissioner campos. >> thank you very much i wanted to pay any compliments periphery that is its been a long time coming how the population is growing in the eastern part of san francisco and particularly in the portland neighborhood a dangerous intersection i'm surprised we haven't have more kaultsdz than we've had to date i want to pass on this compliment to the entire team that worked on the project

i don't have anything to critical or major changes i'll suggest that we implement i just i kind of feel this project can't get done fast enough the faefrmentz is growing and popular and the other element i appreciate you take into consideration is the flooding that happens on an annual basis. >> yeah. >> right at the freeway over on ramp so taking into account is really critical. >> thank you commissioner campos. >> commissioner cohen for those remarks you represented the portland and there know this is a critical issue that goes back many, many years so it is exciting to be here and i do want to thank the staff for all the amazing work in making this happen in terms of the funding i wanted

to make sure we're - we have a birth sense of the timing when do you think you'll come back to us and in terms of the funding options when will we know if these are available so for this project and what's the timeline for that. >> right in the next quarter. >> yeah. in the next quarter that's exactly what we are working on we're doing outreach this month to make sure the design is right. >> okay. >> for everybody and cost estimates reflecting the designs and looking at the grant cycle so we know okay. the next cycle of tsa is coming up in march can we agree mta that's the level of detail on the funding now. >> and then i'm actually -

>> to the executive director. >> i'll add tilly chang to bring forward the capital that you have in district 9 to help advance the design even as we work or solidifying those and take the recommendations and move them straight into design. >> i think a couple of us will turn both pumpkins on january 8th so if there's anything that can be done prior to that whether here at the county transportation authority the board of supervisors but also the regional bodies like mtc if there is something specific source of funding we're tavsht if you can let us know so we're advocating for that. >> commissioner campos through the chair if an unfortunate - i'm a steward.

>> the people of the port low appreciate that so thank you. >> thank you. >> seeing none, no other comments open up for public comment. >> anyone wish to comment then public comment is closed. this was an informational item as well item 7 mr. stamos. >> introduction of new items. >> so i see no colleagues speaking open up for public comment mr. yip. >> seeing none, public comment is closed. item 8 mr. stamos. >> general public comment. >> mr. yip. >> andrew here officer the recession of having a december in any for the soeshth one should have color - for the existence and destiny in establishment why must one

league of women voters along with a leak and sfgov tv i'm here to discuss proposition q about measure before the voters on tuesday, november 8. city law prohibits the willful obstruction of public sidewalks. city law also rises of prominent public health to remove public nuisances which include unsanitary structures. city law does not specifically granted raising tens on public sidewalks. proposition q would prohibit the contents without a city permit. the city would not be allowed to remove world order removal and authorize tenant in this the city had available shelters for all residents of the tenant under proposition q includes city operated shoulders navigation centers, and other city operated housing. before we move were ordering of diesel to remove non-authorized tent on a public sidewalk, the city would be required to offer shelter to all residents, offered to pay

the cost to transport all tent residents to live with friends or family outside of san francisco and provide written notice that the city will remove the tenant in 24 hours. if residents do not accept the city's offer of housing were shelter or do not remove the unauthorized tent within 24 hours of the notice, the city may remove the 10th. after removing the tenant the city would be required of written notice near the area where the tent was look good if you vote yes, you want to prohibit the placement of tens on public sidewalks without a city permit and allow the city to remove unauthorized tent is the city provides 24 hour advance notice offer shelter for all tent residents store the personal property of 290 days. if you vote, no, you do not want make these changes. i'm here with jim lazarus senior vice president of the san francisco chamber of commerce and proponent of proposition q you were also by quentin mickey volunteer for the no on letter

to on the measure could think of her being here. i like to start with opening remarks meeting with you, jim >> the homelessness has reached epidemic proportion. while total number of homeless is remained fairly stable over the last 30 years, recently the number of people living on streets and in parks and skyrocketed. were the worst symptoms is tenant encampments spread it in our neighborhoods in front of homes and businesses. it's not compassionate to allow our fellow human beings to live in tents on the street. it's dangerous and unhealthy. proposition that the housing not tents measure will make it city policy to move the homeless out of these encampments and into shelter and housing. it requires notice and storage of personal property animates it city policy to find emergency shelter for people living on the street. the policy that was discarded in the late 1980s when camp at nose appeared in civic center plaza. allowing tends to remain in place only prolongs homelessness and doesn't help people get the services they need. the board

of supervisors won't pass a reasonable regulations. it's time for the voters to do it by voting yes on q >> thank you. quentin? >> yes, proposition q has a measure that as long history of previous night. there was care not cash. with the insight panhandling measure. with a set line measured. it is a misguided attempt at playing upon people's national frustrations with the poverty and homelessness that exist in san francisco. let's be clear about the title. housing not tense. there is neither any housing within the-nor is there funny for homeless service. more importantly, i think this is actually the danger of the actual measure, jeff kosinski the head of the city department of homelessness, is not asking or requiring up the québec paschal for the actual clearing out against it they're doing that right now. what prop q actually doesn't codify a process that prevents legal

ramifications. right now, the cities were moving in cameras as we speak. they're not waiting for prop q did prop q means if they cannot provide shelter than they can remove this and caymans and that's the problem. >> thank you, quentin. my next question is how is proposition q different from laws that are already passed in san francisco? how will it change things spewing all-star when you become acquainted >> quite simply from our perspective, both the city and state law already cover lodging on sidewalks. there is ample room for the police to remove them. earlier this year on division street the city in coordination with the police department removed in canada long division street. just two weeks ago the removed a large and kim and long-creek. the laws are already in place in the city has every hour it needs good prop q that would take a different tack and essentially codified by

mandating that the city cannot remove homeless and cameras unless shelter is provided. let's be clear. there at the last count 6500 homeless individuals in the city could not including youth and families. there's only 1200 adult shelter beds in the city. so this idea that we can suddenly offer shelter to everybody and they would be off the streets in a homeless encampment problem is going to disappear overnight it is simply not. which i think is one of the reasons why the chronicle recommended no on proposition q it is something ugly to change anything. more importantly, is going to tie the hands of the city department on homeless and the city hired, the mayor hired jeff kosinski sam dodge a talented team of people to actually really dress homes. this is a very cynical measure that is simply not adding value to its happening in the city when the city is really trying to come together around a very challenging issue. in a rather play upon people's fears for what we think is and we just political gain. >> thank you quentin same question to you, jim.

>> currently doesn't cover every seconds and you have a public of issue or a [inaudible] but the board when i passed the voters had to some years ago. at the time limit is required by law. so you cannot move somebody at midnight editing cam and that's blocking a sidewalk. this legislation will give the police department and the city and our social service departments, the ability to identify those in cameras that need to be relocated, give proper notice, secure locations for personal property, and turned around a growth in homelessness on the streets get we don't have 6000 people on the streets every night. we have 6000 identified homeless in san francisco. and we have probably 2000 that need to move into shelter. this will make it city policy approved by

the voters. towing city hall create that shelter them a tip people off the streets and out of the parks. >> thank you. the second question is, how do we ensure the services are available given that right now they're weightless for shelter beds in san francisco? >> there's empty shelter beds every night in the city. there's no doubt the city has to do more good we had more shelter beds 30 years ago than we have today. under emergency base. where we have been successful as outcomes. supportive housing. cities building hundreds of units of supportive housing right now. the city is building new navigation centers right now. so there will be the means to move people off the streets and out of parks. the of vigilante justice out there. the home was killing homeless in golden gate park. we prostitution in tents. we have stolen property. it's time to really get serious about taking homeless people and

treat them as human beings and get them off the streets out of the parks, into programs and this is just one more step, one more opportunity, for the voters to tell the elected officials another is enough. you can see meetings in the mission and south of market and northeast where businesses and residents are coping with really difficult circumstances in their homes, in their neighborhoods. the homeless need to be served but not in it tends and kim and. >> thank you. quicken, same question to you >> i'm very clear about this. if we wanted scuttled treat individual six parenting homelessness as humans than we would stop with the stereotypes of prostitution, rape, on homeless murdering homeless. i can flash back to 14, 15 years ago when then supervisor newsom put forth care not cash and the

basis of that campaign was inciting these stereotypes about the poorest people in our city that i think shame on this campaign. shame on proposition q for even saying or implying that is the reality that's what happened on the streets right now. there's nothing right now in proposition q as jim talked about all these long tensions, that is not already happening. we just created a department of homelessness. we just hired jeff kosinski. we're trying to put funding into truly addressing homelessness in the city and yet were taking a step backward for apparently supervisor farrell on the intent. it's unclear how this adds value to this conversation at all. a time when the city is trying to come together we are once again, dividing the stereotypes that i think are very unjust and unfair to those individuals were expensing. should the people should be frustrated with what's happened with homelessness in this. people should be frustrated that this tent and chemistry

let city officials do their job. they're doing it right now. they're certainly not waiting for proposition q to pass before they do it. >> thank you, quentin. are going to move into closing the market will start with you, jim. >> thank you. we need proposition q because despite without opponents a no current law truly addresses tent and cameras. the opponents argue that only housing gets people off the street and they are right. every night we have taken shelter beds and over the next two years the cities building 300 new supportive housing units and six new homeless navigation centers. but don't take it from me. kathy black, the executive director of the casa-the city's oldest organization that responds to provide help to those of victims of domestic violence the chronicle op-ed piece just a few days ago. i have it here. rate is right in tent cities. this is not some kind of campaign rhetoric. these are not people by and large good just lost their

home. the criminal activity on the streets in front of people's homes and in front of businesses. seven rapes in the first six months of 2016 although. she says tent cities are not as a place for an injured little on vulnerable women to live. nobody should have to live in fear period. pop q should make our cities say. kathy black. so we urge the voters of san francisco to support proposition q >> thank you, jim. quicken, closing remarks >> yes. i think proposition q is more of the status quo. important our city has engaged in over the years. rather than truly trying to address homelessness and poverty, we criminalize it to be stereotyped it. do so for unfortunately political purposes. i think that we have an opportunity by rejecting proposition q to send a message different message than with jim wants to send to city hall that we can do better as a city and we need to. we should be housing people. we should not people living in tent and cameras but the way of doing that is leading the city do

their job at a time when they are investing in good staff. they are investing in funding supportive housing. we don't have enough shelter to meet the demands of proposition q in the city is already committed to the fact that they want to remove those tent and again it's good that is an opportunity for the city to see through what i think is a very cynical measure and hopefully address homelessness in an honest authentic weight rather than a politically. >> thank you, quentin and think you both for your common sense on. we hope this discussion has been informative. for more information on this and other ballot measures this year's election, please visit the san francisco collections website at sf election stopword. we member early voting is available at city hall monday through friday from 8 am-5 pm. you can also vote at city hall on the two weekends before election day. if you don't vote ea
