board and public and staff. i will thank the outgoing chair for many years of great service including the dubiate leading the bubious decision to hire me as director, hopefully the new chair will consider that appropriately but do want to thank tom for his many years of serviceess to the board not just while i was here but long before that and decades service transportation and other public interests then bay area. it will be a different board after in the wake of your service, so thank you for that and madam chair and mr. vice chair, welcome. congratulations, look forward working with you. not to turn on a down note, but in termoffs my report i had a bad week last week on oo few different fronts. within the muni system we had two fatalities

the causes of which in both caseerize still under investigation but disturbing. the first was last tuesday at the end of the line in dally city on a 14 mission bus. a woman was found unresponsive. the woman is on the bus unresponsive. it was 911 was called and corner came and she was determined to have passed at some point on the vehicle. there were many news stories circulating about this over the weekend and discussion about men ingitis as a possible cause of deaths. we understand as of this morning the san mateo corners office ruled out minen jites as a cause of death. we will wait for the final determination and don't think it was muni related but it

did happen on a muni bus and thoughts and prayers are with her friends and family. the next day there was a 57 year old man found dead around castro street station. there is a robust investigation underway which we are providing a lot of support to in terms of video and anything else that we have will help us all understand what happened, but tragic none the less and for him our thoughts and prayers are with his friends and family as well. then, shifting gears, last week we also had two bad collision in the city. pedestrians sthin street. the first-these are both on the same day. the first was a 67 year old man crossing the street at 19th and judah. he had a green light around 8 p.m. and struck by a car and sustained life threatening injuries. this is

a intersection that has history of collision. it is also one where there had been improvements such as signal upgrade in 2009 as well as added leading nrtdivals in 2014. this will be subject to significant upgrade and working with caltrans and going into construction the next couple years but tragic and wish him and his family the best. the same day a scith 6078 60 year old woman was struck at buchanan and was struck and kimed by a truck towing a trailer. unlike 19th avenue this is not a area with a high collision history and along the union street corridor no real trends in terms

of collisions there. none the less, will be following up on that and seeing what there is to be done but tragic all 4 of events happened in the last week. just a reminder, the importance not all f othese were street safety related but the importance of our commitment to vision zero so since we are at the end of the year and have updated numbers for 2016 i like to ask tom mcguire sustainable streets director to come forward and give a update related to vision phreero. >> good afternoon directors. we received from the department of public health the preliminary year end numbers for traffic fatalities in the city in 2016 and before i give a overview of those i want to make a couple caveats. the first is at least one crash is

still under investigation by the medical examiner for its cause and could potentially bree considered a traffic fatality. it is important when we talk about year end numbers there is a lot of year to year variation and a lot of statistical fluctuation so important not to direct too many conclusion. over the last year as many know there is a very alarming national trend towards increasing trafic fatalities. all most 9 percent nation wide in fatalities and that is trend we are working against in the vision zero cities. every year we luce about 30 libes on in san francisco and 200 serious injured. in 201529 traffic deaths and compared to 31 deaths in 2015 and 14 so there was a

slight decrease. looking to the numbers a little deeper thrfs a decline in pedestrian fatalities between 2015 and 16. 20 pedestrians in 2015 and 16, 15 pedestrians. a lot of the 9 percent nation wide is cons trailted in pedestrian deaths rchlt we had 3 cyclist in die in 2016 and one motrist die in 2015. thrfs a increase in the number of drivers killed this year. only one person was killed in 2015 and 5 in 2016. back in january there was a early morning hour collision south of market involving a california high way

patrol chase where the driver and two passengers struck a taxi and accounted for deaths so that accounted for 3 of the 5 fatalities. at the end of the day i think we don't want to draw too many conclusion of this a long term trend. it is a year of data where it went down and up and that is good news going down than up especially given the national trend bullet have a long way to go. december 31, 2024 which is our end date for vision zero is less than 8 years away and still losing 29 people a year on the streets. this year and years to come it is ourjob to get those 57 high priority engineering enforcement education projects underway

to change policy about automated speed enforcement and the culture of speeding in san francisco. the approval of traffic signals in south of market and tender line will make projgress and two year strategy will continue to chart the path to getting the number down from 31 to 29 to zero by 2024. that is my update on the vision zero statistics. >> thank you. >> a few other items that have some vision zero connection. one is that a couple days after your last board meeting, the san francisco county transportation authority commission approved the gearo brt environmental impact report. they certified the report and approved the hybrid design which is bus lanes in the center and van ness and richmond portion

and side running brt on the eastern portion. there was two small changes made, which was the restoration of the rapid stop at laguna street and local stop at collins street. other than that, the project was generally approved as recommended so it is a pretty significant milestone for the gearo brt, which i mention in the realm of vision zero because the project we call it brt is really a corridor transformation plauject with significant amount of vision zero elements that are part of it. so, next steps are a lot of community outreach will be happening over the next 6 to 9 month jz continue to work with the federal government to get the federal environmental impact statement finalized and then we'll bring

that with potential parking and traffic changes for the eastern portion of the project to this body some time in the summer hopefully. so, great progress there. one other item with vision zero connection is that i think it was last week or maybe the week before, the u.s. secretary of transportation, anthony fox was in san francisco to join mayor lee and our past and current chairs of the mta board to announce the federal government awarding san francisco with a $11 million grant to develop innovative transportation tech knowledge to address congestion, but also to make sure that the system is safer and more efficient and there are particular elements within the grant-there are 6 different projects and a couple are specifically aimed making the streets safer using technology to address safety issues. so, we will be implementing

these in conjungz with the county transportation authority. there is research support from university california berkeley, pretty exciting stuff particularly anything we bring technology to try to make the streets safer so pleased to participate in that. a few other items, we have pretty significant storms last week and looks like we may have more coming this week and just wanted you know to there were lots of mta staff out and about trying to keep the city moving during that time. we had 31 signal outages over the course of the storms late last week and into early last week that our signal shop was able to quickly repair and get back into order. we had extra parking control officers to address things such as signal outages and lots of trees down i understand from public works. they had more than 300 trees down in

the city over the course of the storms so having the folks out to direct traffic and redirect traffic was important. there was numerous muni operations and maintenance staff out supporting to keep the systems running. we had a lot of impacts to muni service as a result of the trees and a mud slide, but we didn't have a major flooding including in the subway where we had flooding before and i think that is thank tooz preventative work we did together with public works and pu c. just want to acknowledge, a lot of folks as we are inside trying to stay warm and dry the field staff are out sthr making sure the city will keep moving and will be ready for the next storm as well. i did want to just speak to the next bus ushue which is issue of great discussion of late. i'll start with the good news is most the next bus predictions are

restored based on good work by folks inside and partners, the companies that help us deliver the next bus system. there has been a lot written and said about what happened and why it happened and i guess i would say this, i think there was a confluence of a number of different things from work that we were doing to work that others external to the agency were doing that collide said in a unfortunate storm that led to the outage. we worked very quickly to replace it and worked quickly to provide as much information to the public as we could but i recognize it was very significant inconvenience for a lot of folks so want to apologize for the rider jz anyone else impacted. it increensed a lot of folks and take responsibility for the outage. in hindsight i think there is more

we could have done to mitigate it from happening but have it up and running for the most part. it was a lesson for me in how important the service is to our riders. the reactions we got was amazing. i don't mean in a good way amazing, but it spoke a lot to how valuable having arrival predictions are for the riders. we are just about past it now and don't expect anything like that to reoccur in the future but wanted to acknowledge that was not our finest day and want to accept responsibility for that. two more quick things. one is that mayor lee along with mayors from a number of different cities including los angeles, portlands and seattle made a joint request last week to automobile mrfer inviting to improve pricing and specifications of existing

electric vehicles for use in all municipal fleets to help reduce fuel and maintenance costs. obviously most the transit fleet is electric so we know this but much of the non revenue and rest of city fleets and city fleets across the country are not. to the extent we can move those vehicles rks which are necessary to our performing city service so we can move those to the zero emission electric vehicles that have a impact on greenhouse kbas reduce reliance on fossil fuel, reduce air pollution and quality and reduce maintenance. a lot of folks look to san francisco as a leader because we have a mission free power from hetch hetchy that powers the majority of our muni system and city buildings so i think mayor lee was able to exempify great leadership but have this not just

be san francisco's voice but bring together a coalition of cities to advance for this. there are plenty of products out there for passenger vehicles and sedans. there are increasingly a number of electric buses starting to come on the market. this push was to broaden the market to more municipal fleets. many of the heavy duty truck jz other equipment we use or agencies like public works departments or parks departments, there are not electric vehicles available for those fleets so this was a push from the mayor to the manufacturers to expand their repertoire. and finally, speaking of zero emission vehicles, i was pleased to be joined by former chair nolan, then chair nolan last friday with our director of transit john hailey and his team to

welcome thest if of ow neurlight-rail vehicles to san francisco. it arrived over night in our metro east facility from sacramento. this produced by see mans and the first of 260 new light-rail vehicles we are in contract for. it was 2 and a half years in the making to get to this point from developing the first specification and request for pro posal and bringing the contract for your consideration and finally for the board of supervisors approval and exhaustive planning and design and quality assurance, public vetting to get to the point where we have our first vehicle here that is dollar irfbed, which is great. i remiped you the first two traunchs of 6 or 24 vehicles by the end of nest year and 40 after that are expansion vehicles so

will be adding to the fleet and starting around 2121 the vehicles after that will replace the current fleet under the current schedule so we will have more light-rail vehicles in service starting later this year after the first vehicle goes through its paces and safety certifications, but very exciting moment and huge mile stone for the agency. i want to credit john hailey for his extraordinary effort to get the project to this point and look forward to more vehicles rolling in and hitting revenue service later this year. that conclude my report. >> thank you, thank you very much director reiskin. i know the new light-rail vehicles will do what the buses have with fewer break downs and more comfortable. thank you for highlighting the next bus issue. i completely can appreciate and empathize in the pain that caused riders.

how reliant on the on time arrival can't be overstated so glad we will have that cleaned up. it reminded us again when you first came on board how a schedule if you have predictable reliable service and you got on time demand and arrival information a schedule becomes pointless and watching everybody trying to figure out the schedules on the buses i appreciated the fact the mta blog published the schedule so people had a idea of the headway. directors any questions or comments? seeing none, mrs. boomerpublic comment? >> yes, cathy deluca. a opportunity for members to address matters or presented by mr. reiskin. >> good afternoon chair brinkman and former chair nolan and directors and director reiskin. cathy deluca the policy and program director at

walk san francisco and you might not be surprised to hear me today here to urge you all to be vision zero campions in 2017. that is my message to you today. 29 people were killed last year on the streets and only two fewer than the year before and not a big chaimpg. we need every tool in the arsenal and every leader in the public bodies. eerfben though the pedestrian numbers went down pedestrians make up over half of everyone killed so suffer disproportionate impacts. of the pedestrians we see a huge proportion of seniors. 75 percent of the pedestrians killed last year were 60 or older so still have a major goal to reach here. what i will ask you all today and every other time i come before you is this year to use this power that you have in the position to make sure that the projects that come before you

save lives on our street. i urge you not tew proouv projects if they don't make the streets safer. i urge you not to approve projects with compromises to safety. i would urge you to push staff to bring projects before you that have the most robust safety treatments possible in a comprehensive way. you will see a lot of projects this year along high injury corridors so will have a lot of opportunity to flex your vision zero muscles. folsom, howard and 6th street and taraval so we need you. everyone who walks bike squz takes transit on the streets we need you. walk san francisco is here to support you in the work. the vision zero coalition is here to support you so with your leadership and commitment i look forward to 2017 being different. thank you. >> madam chair that is the last person who indicated interest to address you

on topics presented by mr. reiskin. >> thank you. item 8, citizen advisory counsel report. madam chair and directors the cac chair isn't here so no report. item 9, public comment. opportunities to address within the jurisdiction and not on todays calendarment we will start with lawrence paul followed by robert [inaudible] >> madam chair and former chair nolan and directors, just disclose own a taxi medallion and my medallgen i know is at arrow and green and city wide over the years and i believe that a medallion owner or speak about this that i'm also speaking in the presence of at least economically of the tnc's that

rubundant in our streets. and i wanted to first just mention that i'm aware that the city is trying everything it can do to cut back on costs and raise more revenue and the initial medallion sale and from what i was told a couple years ago by michael harris that several hundred medallions were sold and know this is a revenue stream-previous revenue stream for the mta. and, so what i'm appealing today for is the previous proposal that was brought to the board with

respect to selling the medallions to companies. i know the initial medallion sale was done as a pilot study and turned out to be a very fine revenue stream and i think that with all of the market forces i respectfully request we revisit that at some point in the near future. and thank you for listening. >> thank you. next speaker, please. >> robert [inaudible] followed by mark grewburg. >> good afternoon. it is funny how everything always collides. you have never done an environmental study on tnc's, but since there are approximately 45,000 tnc's that operate on a regular basis in the city

and we get these figures from the airport so we are all in the same boat, i urge you to do a environmental study because nobody else is going to do it. and the next think you could do is then start putting pressure to reduce the numbers to a workable majority of maybe 5,000. which sound a enormous amount, but 5,000. but my main suggestion is this, you have to be proactive today and what is proactive is you have to look to all these tech companies and ask for bids for driverless taxis in this city. and the reason i'm saying that because actually they form a perfect

partnership with taxis, with drivers in them. the supervisors last year said that the population of seniors is going to reach 40 percent in san francisco over the next 20 years and most of those people will not be able to use driverless taxis because they need somebody to help them get in, get out and actually understand where they want to go. so, they could bow a perfect partnership, but it is up to you to go and ask tech people. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker, please. >> mark grewburg, mar cello [inaudible] followed by adam pav locka. >> thank you. congratulations to chair brinkman to vice chair

heinicke, best wishes to former chair nolan. i want to speak on behalf the san francisco taxi workers alliance. i want to put forward some ideas that we will present in a more formal fashion but i wanted to start getting thise out there, ways of improving taxi driver income. this is something that is vital to the future and the existence of a taxi industry in san francisco. if we can't find ways for drivers to make more money, we are not going to have drivers. so, these are some ideas we have come up and maybe others but i wanted to put them out there. first significantly increase the number of taxi stands. we pulled our membership and have a long list and will be providing that to the mta taxi stands. take taxis out of circulation.

row deuce congestion, reduce emissions and possibly improve safety. imlment the system for sharing taxi rides. this has been discussed and discussed and it can and should be done. establish a system of taxi vouchers or online accounts for city employees. cut down on the number of vehicles you need for city employees. develop a universal taxi voucher our own line paying system on all cabs. this is different than a app or e system. explore ways for taxis to compliment the muni services. this is a idea we brouched years ago and never wnt anywhere but the technology we have now it is very doable. >> thank you.

>> mar chela [inaudible] adam pavlocka followed by carl [inaudible] who is the last person bhoo who turned in a speak er card. >> directors good afternoon. my name is marcelo [inaudible] long time member the taxi industry. this month is my 28 anniversary. the mockery and nudge of the taxi industry started right here at city hall when mayor lee took the position to support uber and lift. it is public knowledge in the state of the city address in 2013, mayor lee not only praised uber and lift, he proclaimed july 13, lift day. the only reason you don't have jurisdiction over tnc is because mayor lee gave it to [inaudible] declined your

accommodations on insurance, the environment and unanimously adopted the definition of leased vehicles and perjury vehicles driven for tnc is one in the same. this is your city . there are 45 thousand tnc operating here and they are clogging your streets and destroying your infrastructure and the only thing they give back is foul air. it is so unfair for mayor lee and the mta to continue charging medallion renewal fees at the same time he promote jz facilitates competition. i urge you to wave all medallion fees to holdser jz urge you to tell mayor lee the only way for the san francisco taxi industry to sur vive is limit the numbers. the city must work

with the mta. thank you. >> thank you, next speaker please. >> adam [inaudible] followed by carl [inaudible] those are the last two speakers. >> hello. i'm here to talk about the sfmta 4th speak project between 4th and zoe. wealth street was close td. hearing everyone speak about vision zero you sound hypocritical because the last 2 weeks the sfmta refused to enforce no parking and inaction made a one way street two way. there has been no mandate for having a flag man there to direct traffic while two way traffic goes down a one way street. dpp has been called and been told and

told us, we don't have any record of this and not going to enforce. various messages have been sent including up to last friday to am reiskin as well as his subordinates. we keep laering this will be taken care of, it isn't. this morning when i left for work at 9:30 there were 9 cars parked blocking one lane of traffic making it a one way streets. the contractors were there or supposed to be there at 7 a.m. and reports say work started at 3:30 so the contractors isn't enforcing and sfmta isn't if forcing. if this isn't a city project you would lead on the contractors to follow the blue book and have enforcement there. all i can do that is intention it be pushing

two way traffic down a one way street with no protection, no signs, no enforcement and no flagman. what are you going to do about this? >> thank you. mr. reiskin could we have someone follow up with him and get contact information and see if we can address that situation? >> we will and got e-mail about this and have staff following up today as well. >> thank you very much. next speaker. >> carlmic murdo is the last speaker. >> medallion renewal fee issuement our monthly lease income plummeted by 80 percent the last 4 years. many medallion holdererize going deep into debt and worse. at the last board meetsing there was a suggestion to advantage medallion holders over others. that is unfair, we are all suffering greatly. last thursday january 12 there was a article in the

chronicle saying uber is crushing taxi but muni ridership is up 3 percent so the spokes person says tnc isn't - here is quhie i think you should regard the tnc as foes and not friends. they are public safety and traffic jam problems caused by tnc. the carpooling models and [inaudible] will cause problems going forward. finally, you could be selling 500 medallions a year andmericing $1.25 billion if you get 80 percent the tnc's off the road so costing you money. enforce the state law on the books for 85 years requiring transportation for vehicles to have commercial license plates and insurance. the vehicles with the tnc logo are committing insurance fraud.

this is illegal practice and aids and abets drivers under pricing taxi by greatly reducing overhead. it is legal to enforce state law. if you are encouraged to do so you may get 80 percent of the vehicles ouf the road. fly wheel sued uber over antitrust violation. uber sells rides below cost and subsidize driver jz reports billions in losses. i note the sf bay guardian had a gument years ago against the sf [inaudible] to conclude-thank you very much. jerk anymore public comment on this item? seeing none, closed. can we move on. >> consent calendar, the considers are retune unless a board or member of the public serves or considered separately. i heard no requests that a member of the mublic wishes to have a item severed and not from the board.

>> approval. >> second. all in favor aye. opposed? the ayes have it consent calendar is passed. ite >> itedm 11, the regular calendar. implement the dolores median pilot for 16 months and approve traffic modifications associated with the pilot. >> i think we have mr. nox white presenting. >> good afternoon. congratulations. john knox white and planning section program manager for sfmta and working on the project nearly two years we are here with a update and overview with proposed implementation for a pilot project that would authorize parking alongside the dolores street center

medians between 14th and 18th streets on friday evening, saturday early morning to noon and sundays all day. this is the location and the time at which this practice has a historically occurred in the area but it will allow implementing this and signing it allow to provide daylighting and pulling the parking back from the ends of the medians that provide significant pedestrian and transportation safety impacts otaerointersections and also provide much better public safety and specifically fire access to the neighborhood, which is currently impacted when vehicles have shortened turn radius because people parking up to and into the intersection. when we were here in august we recommended a 12 month pilot and today we are

recommending a 16th month duration which will be a 12 month pilot and allow us to see how the pilot rolls out over a entire year and provides 4 months and and allow evaluations. again, we have a map in the presentation that was in your package showing it is just the medians between 14th and 18th street. a quick overview where we have been. we had a 9 month committee work, which evolved over 7 meetings with community stakeholders from community organizations, resident and business and park users. we conducted a community survey that spoke to all people who traveled to

that neighborhood, but focused heavily on the residents. the outcomes as you recall of the survey, was less than a majority of the residents of the neighborhood were opposed it formalizing or removing all the packing. in the end there is stronger support among residents to remove parking but heard from community organizations and small business community they prefer to allow it to happen so felt the pimet recommended in august and body approved moving forward represented a compromise that was supported by a majority of the stakeholders across the board. so, today we are here with request to legislate that pilot. there were two items this board highlighted. at that time one of which looked at parking management strategies as a part of the pilot. our parking group has already started to look at those and identified really the parking manager and

strategies and regulations actually exist on all but one block of the area around that. have identified places in which those regulations could be expanded to different days or hours to have that impact and that will be something we will consider over the course of the pilot as well. and then the second item was insuring there was format for community input so we proposed as we did at the time a quarterly stakeholder committee to which we will report out and meetings will be public so anyone interested in the issue can hear how it is going and will be a place to hear from the community as to how they feel it is going and the impacts they feel this had. one of the issues we had through the process is finding business owners who are busy running the businesses who also want to participate. i

knew it started with a p. participated in lots of meetings and so we will be going to the neighborhood on a quarterly basis to fiend out from the business squz other s how they feel this is going so we are not just hearing from 4 or 5 people but have a real sense of the area. so, as we talked about in august, the goals of the pilot which we believe this recommendation meets is to increase the clarity and understanding of when parking regulation allow for parking and when they don't. we believe that not only will this clarify a lot of conclusion whether you are allowed to park in the area by telling you can, it will bring about what we feel is the feeling of fairness in which it will be clear anybody who wants to use this parking during the parking hours is allowed to do so. again, as we daylight the

intersections there are safety impacts that will make it safer at the intersections for all users whether walking biking or dribeing and by setting final hours it will clarify when you can expect to be towed and our cited for parking late at night and should help cut down and hopefully eliminate all of the-not all of the but occasional cars sitting in the dark in the middle of deloris street. so far we haven't had collisions related to that but a matter of time. with that we submit-sorry, we have worked with enforcement folks. if sl a concern to the community it is related to will you enforce this. it is obvious, historically we deprioritized enforcement arond the median jz have commitment of the

enforcement staff for the first 2 to 3 month weez will be proactively on site enforcing the hours. the intention is give arfbd everybody a heads up that enforcement is about to begin so people are not surprised and dont have lots of complaints about citations but very quickly we want people to understand once the hours are done enforcement happens and to set a expectation there is no parking in places that are not signed during hours they are not signed. with that, that our report. >> i would like to thank juliet wilson who has done most the job on this i brian [inaudible] >> thank you very much. just a clarify ing question for me before i ask my fellow directors for any questions, this is reducing the amount of parking space and decreasing by 1 half a spot? >> yes. there will be effectively 50 percent decrease. >> the spots were people

formally were parking and anticipating they would have no enforcement those curbs will be painted red? >> yes. >> people are not just demanding on the signs, the curbs are painting red? >> yes. >> directors questions or clarifying comments before we move to public chaument? >> thank you mr. knox white. >> two members of the public are here to address you [inaudible] >> thank you. madam chairperson and directors. my name is stefonlaser and lives on dolen street off delorss over 24 years. i prefer no [inaudible] parking i realize given all the factors a compromise is necessary. i think the proposed plan is reasonable but request you consider one change and that is that the sunday parking end at 4 p.m.

instead of 6 p.m. i ask that for safety reasons. during part of the year it is dark before 6 pmp causing a hazard for drivers. i'm well aware of the parking and still all most hit cars in the dark. i met with john knox white in november and this is something we discussed. high did not specifically recommend the change he agreed my suggestion was reasonable given the safety issue. regarding the specific implementation i am glad to see there is a plan to do a 30 day, one month grace period because i was concerned what would happen there. the other thing i would request is that i would like sfmta to attempt to facilitate agreement between the archdiocese and synagogue that allows the two mission deloris parking lots. this can eliminate the parking

and give the synagogue flexibility. there was discussion some time ago but agreement couldn't be reached. same applies to deloris park church and board of education. they used to be able to use the parking lot across the street and suddenly the fall the new principle decided they couldn't without warning. i ask the city try to facilitate some agreement there. i respectfully ask you consider my suggestions. thank you. >> thank you. thank you for your continued input. >> [inaudible] anyone else wishes to address the board if you can make your way to the front or turn in a speaker card. >> good afternoon board members. congrat ylshzs chairman brinkman and thank you chairman nolan, outgoing. [inaudible] associate pastor of cornerstone church and part the

committee john knox white and team helped facilitate over two years and thank john and juliet and team facilitating a job for a challenges process. i do want to say i think fellow faith organization members are not able to make it today but i think without formally speaking on their behalf we are supportive of the pilot project and believe this is a compromise for the neighborhoods and faith communities and i think everyone just to communicate to the neighborhoods this will beope toon the general mublic whether going to the restaurants or shopping or faith organizations and i just want to reiterate that i believe it is communicate today the board that the small business administration san francisco has also supported this pilot project and legalization the median

parking on dolores. i believe it was brought up at the last board meeting. one reason the data hasn't skewed too much is the gentrification that happened with the people of faith organizations who had to move out and drivering into the city is the only opportunity for them to attend their faith organizations. once again, i want to say thank you and hope you consider-also, my church actually is part that-parks on cuvaro and independent of the pilot decision so i was under the impression it is a same decision for dolores-thank you. >> thank you. mr. knox, white, a follow up question in light of mr. luzars comment. i see that the

dates and times the parking is permitted-friday until 10 p.m. saturday at noon and sunday 6 p.m. do you want to to the twie lite dark dusk issue there? >> sure, it was something we talked about. as we wept through the conversation even with the committee even though we didn't come to a conclusion there, we looked at everything from adding full day saturday parking to really limiting things to sunday mornings and in that conversation i think what staff came to is the idea of trying to formalize a solution that honored the current and existing circumstances so parking hapbs past 6 o'clock we thought 6 o'clock represented in the hour a reasonable hour that isn't too dark and maybe one hour of darkness in the evening and couple months for a year. we

couldn't find data that suggested people were running into the backs of the cars so a outcome evaluating this is whether at 6 o'clock there are no car thrz which suggests we should pull the hours sknack there isn't a damd for that. i think we felt the issue was single cars in the dark than it was a row of 10 cars parked there in the dark. >> good. thank you. directors, questions, discussion? >> i had a few. >> please. >> thank you very much, mr. knox white. this was a interest progress on this and just a couple follow up spots on the proposal for your consideration going forward and for the commitsy to consider going forward. it is my bet that this parking is going to fill up as quickly as it becomes available by

workers or customers or residents who want to park extra vehicles they might own that they don't have parking for. once it becomes available to the public and the whole public knows it is available, i suspect like every other available parking space in the city it will be snatched up the moment it becomes permissible for vehicles to park there. i'm under the impression the only reason it doesn't happen now is the way it is unofficially managed gave the public the impression they were not allowed to park there because the parking was reserved for the institutions. so, i'm hoping that we have sort of a plan in place to respond to that once that happens and if it doesn't happen i'm happy. i suspect it will and encourage you toconsider the idea of putting hourly limitations like

4 hour limitations on that parking or two hour limitations to increase turn over and keep people who shouldn't park there from parking there so it remains available for the intended use of the space. if that doesn't work i encourage to start thinking what it will take to meter those spaces. again, from the persperktive of keeping the spaces available for those who need if and funding enforcement. that is probably something that i would encourage you to just think about as you are rolling the thing out, not necessarily to implement it or look at implementing right away. again, i hope i'm wrong. i love the idea of a parking pass. i suspect that the institutions are looking at this. i would hope that the folks from the

synagogue would be very open to the idea of letting people park in their lots when they are not there and the other folks in the christian institutions on sundays will be happy to allow the muslims park on fridays or whatever it might be, but there are plenty of times when church lots are vacant-faith based institutions are vacant and it will be cool for the ecminicle council or any counsels that exist to put toorkt a parking pass for their members that would allow for parking to happen in each other lots. i hope you look into something like that because i suspect with the reduction of parking they will need something to that effect. again, really supportive of all this. i'm glad to see it has come this far. i know this was a divisive issue for a lot of folks in my conversations i had

with people about this but think it is step in the right direction and appreciate all the engagement that members of the community provided in this and again, the leadership on the part of staff and everyone involved so thank you. >> thank you, director ramose. that brings up the question if the parking fills up and the faith based community no longer has the easier access they will want to consider some type of transportation demand management plan or managed parking in the area so that is interesting to watch. any other questions? motion to approve? second? all in favor aye. opposed? hearing none the item is passed. yes, i'm sorry. >> i hope that we use this opportunity in work wg this community on this issue to talk about the homeless issue, which is another issue that came up before where we have people in those vehicles living in their vehicles and no place for them to park and since we

have a audience with the community at this point, i recognize it is primarily concentrated in that area, but if we can use that as a way to start that conversation too that will be great. >> thauchck very much director mord borden. and that conclude our meeting, we are adjourned. [meeting adjourned]

there was a vehicle versus pedestrian hit and run at bush and the good on january 9 also on the northern district of the suspect vehicle is a silver cargo van with bicycle rack on top good as an ongoing investigation but no arrested eight. the victim is stable in that case. as president loftus spoke about earlier, we lost officer stuart mulder start number 4100. he passed away on sunday. i know that she is going to be reading a detailed description of his career and i will let that rest for now. with that i will do the update. i will call catherine conway to do the update to do the professional standards bureau. he was speeding capt. coley welcome. >> good evening president loftus. there appears to be

technical difficulties but you do have the packets before you. so i will begin. good evening president and commission. director hicks chief chaplin and members of the object my name is patrick mike conley with the professional standards and i'm here to give you an update on the status the drg

doj recognitions, especially here high priorities listed 44 listed last month or last updated you. little difficult to see up there on the screen. >> capt. yours and being so great is there anybody that can help them clean you are doing great but that link is distracting. >> would you care for me to continue >> yes. >> we received the reporting back it was january 5. we received 100% compliance in terms of the information coming back to is the update on the status of those recommendations which were disseminated to the executive sponsors will in turn give them to project managers 23 of those continue to be in progress which means they're

either developing process policy, writing policy doing research on best practices and generally potentially building out executive or stakeholders get working groups for those particular recommendations. 21 of the 40 4r in the approval process, which means there has been some definitive word on those recommendations. they have made their way up to the second of sponsors and then submitted to professional standards for approval. once we reviewed those-if a past master if they look good and feel good in terms of compliance, and overall [inaudible] they moved to the chief's office for approval. however if they are lacking some substance and or some heat somewhere, we are pushing back down to the executive sponsors for further work so they can be resubmitted

so they can be fully complied with the doj recommendations. six of the initial recommendations of the 272, six of them were already implement however we are still waiting on confirmatory packages or the collaborative packages that prove that we did what we needed to do in order for those to be considered implemented. next page. i have three examples out of the 44 to demonstrate how we moved along. if you see the top line and use of force. that process was already in progress when the department of justice came along. so that was a collaborative review collaborative process issued by the commission report in stakeholders, external and internal stakeholders in both of the entire process. people are underneath is a collaboration and results of that. so that was 13.1 - excuse

me - 7.1 of the doj recommendations because of the process you engaged in and all the substantial paperwork and the department of the general order that was issued in december, that needs and complies with the department of justice objective. so we submitted that. it'll be an approval process in making its way up. the next example is the officer involved shooting call out procedures. this was manifested in just this past week. we have been working on notification system for quite some time. however the doj civil grand jury and the blue ribbon panel all identified this as being problematic. we worked deliberately and diligently with our partners at the department of emergency management and third-party vendor and we subsequently signed on to was called beta testing. we were testing a system out and went live the first january first good unfortunately it actually had to use it this past week with the officer involved shooting.

it worked fabulously. the dist. atty. was pleased with the results. other parties that were notified were pleased with the notification process and it's all tract and in progress. that process will continue to you golf as it improved upon but again this is another example of complying with the department of justice and the blue ribbon and the civil grand jury aggregations. the third example, which is on page 4, this is it systems which was a direct result of the texting issues previously where there was no prompt on any of department computers or phones saying was prohibitive practices were. the it

department among division of the police department created this prompt to that any time you log onto any computer or peripheral this pump comes up and you have to acknowledge that you cannot use department issued equipment for non-department purpose object language is written department initiative corpsman is for work related purposes only. it specifically printed information recently considered offensive. that's very broad but it's very specific. e-mail text documents on city-owned women are not private. in other words there's no expectation of privacy while using city government equipment. the department may monitor systems for any reason with or without cause and then the in order to process into the systems they are using you have to acknowledge that. we are working with the vendor of the smart phones to see if we can get the same type of prompt on a smart phone. but this order covers all electronic devices.

next steps. in many of the year and commentary recognitions-i said this earlier-of recommendations that were in progress before the department of justice report was issued. as we look at as practices, the executive sponsor of the project managers and my bureau are looking to review this process and try and make it as painless as possible. however this takes time. as we continue to move forward we 20 more project managers could we are going to continue have discussions on how to best make this process better and you will see this as i continue to report out you will see the improvement in the process and you will see more recommendations implemented. lastly, this reporting period only cover the 44th over issued initially could in the

beginning months. next reporting period, which is in february will cover the entire 272. well progress and status reports on them. where there are i can be of different status and time dates for those recommendations. we will have a better idea of how the project managers arguing with loving groups together and assessing the needed items to essentially comply with that recommendations. lastly, in the interim between when the new chief comes in-it's important we have his vision as we move forward-i do not have the ability to brief the keep on this but he may have a different vision of how this goes rallied to a process. so we continue to move forward with or maybe a point where we pause and reflect on the best way to move forward. with the new chief. however, in the

interim we will be having additional project manager training and eventually executive sponsor training. so with that i will show you the visualization timing visualize nation this project out to june of 20 team which is at the end of the 18 month period. department of justice has told us is roughly our and her back when we should have all these recommendations done. so this is our counter that we made and it's for the second of sponsors and the project managers to adhere to. with that i'll entertain any questions you may have. >> thank you, capt. vp turman >> thank you, capt. i appreciate all the work that's been done. my question, which is to make sure we are meeting our responsibilities. how much courted nation and feedback with ms. -- the commission and took to stating in as you move

forward? because i just want to make sure there is coordination. she's getting the information that she has a reporting obligation to us and we've obligation to the entire recommendation to be implemented at >> we have frequent meetings when . my project manager-- i was h who's brought on the latter part of last year cured and this-and i need frequently to discuss the progress of these recommendations and we continually review the process to make sure that information is disseminated to all projects. stakeholders to look at best processes for building a stakeholder groups and ensuring that we are moving these recognitions forwarded. the commissioners and the project managers have as much information that we can give them. >> thank you. >> commissioner dejesus

>> i have some questions i left him at home so i'm sorry about that. it's hard to get jacket i know you have so many things. 274 of these things on your plate, but some of the questions i'm trying to remember is i guess what i had is, is the project manager, once they are getting these things, are they-how are they working? how do they understand exactly how to put together their team would decide what changes or what things need to be modified? are the ones that require or it's recommended we have input from the community and other groups and stuff, remember when the previous ones you had a community group or i know we had pegged groups. the poa and many red question mark. bar association and or community groups am just wondering for those ones how are we deciding who from the community or not pay groups necessary but bar

association. who is going to have an effect was going to sit on that? is the community can get selected? ordinance brass cannot commission. we have a web >> thank you brass cannot commission weave a web project system would we load up the resource would include the bar association task force human rights commission and a number of other individuals who did identified as being wanted to be a part of this and we provided to the public project managers in conjunction with a -the project managed and due to reach out to those resources in conjunction with a second sponsors to create the actual stakeholder groups and input groups. in previous sessions the group can be anywhere from eight-10 people. so selection is based upon the need. >> so i guess the project manager is handling this. how do we keep a handle or how do we know who was contacted if anyone was contacted, if anyone

sat out and participated we >> each month the police project manners are silly cement and update sheet. the form we created for them specifically for that good they delineate losing their groups, who they pick, with the progress they made on that particular recommendation and what are the next steps. what resources they further need. every person in my unit everybody that's assigned to the bureau that oversees this ice as a liaison and resource management tool those project managers. so they don't know what they don't have the ability they can reach out to us and will point them in the right direction. >> i'm just trying to figure out who participated in who didn't. maybe that's at the very end when it's brought to us will know who participated and who didn't. i have a question about training.. i lost that thought. the project

manager will coordinate it. i guess the ones that are completed will you'll give us a complete chart of the ones completed and maybe who participated >> absolutely. each doj recognition while a packet that contains all that information. it's available. it will be available electronically and we've had meetings in the past couple weeks how that information is going to be manifested on our website. we are designing that illustration for the public and the commission. >> okay. thank you. >> anything further for capt. conley? capt. conley, i just want to thank you for all the work that you had done in this

process. if that's great all these systems, great project management where it did not exist to train people on how to manage project that i should've attended some myself i know many other people benefited from that. i want to thank you during this period of time for setting this whole system up and i am i will be watching from the cheap seats. so, good luck. >> thank you commissioner >> i believe are going to move into the next [inaudible] >> we are good commander o'sullivan will be coming up to do the presentation for safe streets for all. lucy's seat deftly warm-up each. >> come on up. >> good evening type presentation of a ready adjustment >> colleagues this report we started many years ago to talk enforcement and focus on the five and ensuring department is

doing everything we can to prevent collisions buildout the structure of this report with our community partners of both walk sf and the bicycle coalition. i think are here tonight. with that, commander san diego. a little bit more context and background. in 2014 was a joint meeting between both this commission the police commission and the board of supervisor. that meeting ugly was held in january of 2014 on the heels of a very tragic december 2013. there were a number of traffic related fatalities. when not involved sadly very young girl did i believe upon polk street. i think that discussion topic was a long time coming but the impetus for getting us into the board chambers was that sequence of events in january of 23rd. though or, december 23 of january 2014, the city adopted what is called vision zero. vision zero simply put,

it is a way of thinking if you will amongst the permits of transportation, law enforcement and city agencies that choose to buy into the program across the united states that we want to get to zero fatalities and zero severe injuries as they relate to traffic collisions. are very ambitious goal is to get that number to zero by the year 2024 and other agencies as they come on board, they are given basically that 10 year window. so tonight this presentation is referred to as the safe streets presentation. mike trust a couple years ago to the commission saw fit to be updated quarterly is what the department's efforts are around getting to zero fatalities and zero severe injuries. so looking at the next-this life here. i talked about with the goal the ultimate goal is which

is to reduce those fatalities and severe injuries bite 2024. there is also objectives that we look at as we go along in this prospect we want to monitor collision data and the reason we want to do that is we want our traffic enforcement our education campaign to be driven by data, meaning where are the collisions occurring. currently the permit is working with department of public health as well the san francisco initial transportation agency and they help us clean the data that data primarily comes from our traffic collision reports. often referred to as the chp 555 forms. we clean the data up. they need some cleaning. and then we evaluate its. our data, with regards to traffic fatalities and violations issued on the enforcement side listed on her sf pd website. there uploaded monthly for the public to see. he also want to standardize the data collection and as i know that you are familiar with the east up program went live this month, that goes a long way towards helping us in this context with our traffic stops and he citations were to come on board

in 2017. i think were set for the earlier part of twentysomething 12 of privatization officers on the permit issue phones will go into an e-citation application and they will be to fill out all the information as pertain to that tickler traffic stop in the data will be logged and it will help us significantly to both track their citations are being issued and look at the cause and effect of all to the other fewer collisions because of the citations that were issued. in those particular areas. social media certainly, we are out on social media can we do run a number of traffic operations in that information is forwarded to our media relations office. so with that being said, more specifically, i am the commander that's a sign the liaison to san francisco is what

transportation agency. i work with the officers and the topic company in also known as the motorcycle officers they were very busy in the third quarter of 2016. as you can see on the next slide is there, there were five dozen safe speed enforcement operation. ots bicycle safety operate ots is the abbreviation for office of traffic safety. we in within the topic company, we manage in addition to the on-duty traffic enforcement that we do we manage for grants to those grants are through the office of traffic safety and their specific to particular behaviors. we do work very will with the chp. whenever they need our assistance we are there to help them. capt. tim-did a phenomenal job in the last couple of years developing a very strong relationship with capt. chris sherry who is

[inaudible] i understand he was transferred into the first part of this year with capt. sherry was assigned to the san francisco office for at least two years and for my expense and the police department i think our relationship with the chp as it pertains to working jointly with the strongest that it had ever been good we could give a lot of credit to capt.--. we do operations with them and then of course commercial vehicle traffic enforcement. so it was made mention commissioner, you mentioned focus on the five. for those that are unfamiliar with focus on the five, a five simply refers to the five primary collision factors that been identified as being most associate with traffic collisions in san francisco. those traffic violations, if you are speed, stop sign violations, red light running, unsafe turns, and failure to stop for pedestrians in the crosswalk. sadly earlier this afternoon we have a traffic collision resulted in a fatality at buchanan and union that was an instance where the pedestrian was in a crosswalk. that is currently under investigation what we do, going

back to 2014, chief transfer committed the department to issuing 50% or more of our citations were traffic enforcement citations for these five primary collision factors. it has been challenged for the department and i'm proud to say there's been significant progress made over the last two-now three years. we can see from this slide it just comparative slide for the third quarter 20 15 1/3 quarter 2016. we went from 43 to 51% we did obtain the 50% directed to her percent of those three months that i think if i math is correct that about it 24-25% increase from one quarter to the next. when we look at it on a year-to-year basis again that would be january 1 through september 30, 2015 through 2016 we also see up a significant increase in the overall percentage of violations issued for these five i like it went from 34% to 43%. so what is the

purpose of doing traffic enforcement? it's really the bottom line is to change behavior. san francisco police department want to change unsafe driving behavior. the aggregate total number of citations hitting a certain percentage of course is a lot to lofty goal and we fit that but it does mean anything if it's not translating into fewer collisions. so when we look at the collision data for the third quarter of 2016 overall we had 20% fewer injury related collisions we did for the third quarter of 2015. when we look at that for the first three quarters of the calendar year 2016 compared to 2015 over all traffic injury collisions of also verities are down 6%. so i feel that's very significant.

the numbers replica for the fourth quarter and will be back here i would imagine the next couple months to report on the fourth quarter which will ultimately be a years total that we will be down significantly in those categories as well. i mentioned the traffic vitality that occurred today. certainly, when we talk about time and often time we have traffic related incidences that are criminal in nature. to make an analogy when we look at things on the patrol side, the number of homicides i know every week that she talked about shootings and overall homicides and whether they are up or down. that translates for us, to puke when we look at things with regard to traffic at how many fatalities have we had. in the third quarter they were down significantly compared to the previous quarter of 2015. they were down 67%. were to pedestrians sadly killed as well as one driver in the third quarter. that would be july, august and september. - excuse me - you year to date in

the first three quarters we are even from where we were last i can tell you preliminarily because arson case with the medical examiner's office are that's why i say preliminary we are at 20 traffic related fatalities for 2016 compared to 31 four 2015. that concludes my presentation with regard to where we are numerically. if you have any questions alter my best to answer them. >> thank you commissioner ong hing width commander, couple things. when you talk about your ots operations use the word, grants >> yes. >> are those grants from the department botched budget from outside sources >> they are from the state. currently we have two estate. every year we, through capt.-whoever might be the commanding officer of the topic company he were she works with our grant unit. you apply for specific grants. in this case the grant i referred you has to do with proving pedestrian and bicycle safety. we have another

one that is specific to dui enforcement. we want to prevent driving under the influence also so we can run checkpoints as well as saturation patrol. the other grand we have is funded in part. it actually to a partner with the sf mta as a speed greater >> my other question with respect to the reference to change your goal of changing behavior and the data is pretty impressive in terms of your quarterly comparisons. what do you attribute that to? do you attribute that to greater enforcement community education or other things? >> so i think both of those things. it really is what it is. it's not like working police work we talk about the 3e's enforcement engineering and education. within the

vision zero world we talk what those same things but now we are changing all the that of the nomenclature talk about safe streets, say people, so it is i think, more focused the pun intended the enforcement we are doing good i mentioned that we've made progress that we've made incremental progress with regard to the percentages that are issued for these particular collision factors. so i think what we are doing is getting better at issuing citations for behaviors that lead to most commonly or most regularly caused collisions. the two collisions. the sf mta department of public health is been very good at getting radio ads out. spot as with regards to our stance, speed campaign which began in october. and it was mentioned that walk sf and the bicycle coalition are here tonight. a lot of credit goes to them as well. they are advocates and they work tirelessly everyday it myself

and other members of the department are in touch with them sometimes on a daily basis with regards to what is going on. so there's a lot of voices that really are involved in this >> i'm sorry. just one more quick question. long before was on this commission, i'm comparing montgomery street with stockton street and what you've done over the years with respect to pedestrian controls, which is pretty remarkable for my standpoint in stockton street in the community education and went on there. are there other parts of the city that you are thinking of doing similar-using similar approaches to pedestrian traffic as you do on montgomery street and stockton street? >> well, you have to reference

with the sf mta is doing and specifically to address stockton street i noticed last night capt. lazar and command central station stockton street he was in a meeting with the community. it one of the associate directors from the department of public parking and traffic with him and they were talking specifically about pedestrian safety did i think some of the progress is in communication which you do with the signal lights, with the timing of the lights. but really the sf mta has the wherewithal to change the engineering they have a litany of projects that are actually been completed recently but are also in the works. for example, a specific to montgomery because i'm not familiar with it but i know at seventh and nine. so the market area, they are going to install protective bike lanes in response to the fatal collision we had over the summer out in golden gate park and jfk could sf mta was very quick to put in speed bumps out there. the engineering is a huge role in this. >> thank you. >> commissioner mazzucco

>> thank you command i was one of the commissioners present in 2014 we had that joint meeting after the turbo action. we talked about the 3e's, enforcement, engineering and education. i am hearing from the community and from our officers in the motorcycle detail company k that some of the engineering is causing a lot of the frustration. i see you smiling and i know much input do we have in that? were hearing the timing of lights has changed. the lane reduction and some of the things happening it is frustrating the drivers is causing the drive to drive more dangerous. we are hearing this percent up from one officer, not from to but many. how much input do you have and how much is that being shared with the mta regarding the frustration with the engineering? >> so i would agree with what your statement. there is frustration. there are some

lead projects that are going on in the city at any one time it almost seems as if sometimes overnight there something new that pops up. i do believe that comes from the best of places because safety is everyone's overall goal. for the officers that are doing it every day for the topic company officers out there, they literally can go to work on their next watch and see there's been a lane reduction because there's going to be a road treatment of some sort. experienced it myself in different capacities within the department would've had community members say overnight we lost the lane and there's a bike lane. sf mta, i know through individuals i speak with, they go to great strides to communicate with those changes are going to be with the public and that they are constantly weighing what one benefit-the one thing out way- can benefit outweighed what might change the landscape to the extent that the police apartment has a saying that, i think you're asking that question

>> exactly. that is my question >> i do have conversations but it's not as if the sfpd is a lot of say quite honestly what changes in the engineering capacity. however, there is a lot of dialogue both ways. for example from the city engineer from the sfmta will notice there's a problem and bring it to our attention. we will do the best we can do. again i reference capt. lazear. he communicates with his officers and where they see certain issues. where it is brought to our attention at a community meeting will reach out to the city engineer and he will look at it. i think, i feel that longer term bigger picture type items that are better communication. >> thank you. >> commander, thank you for the presentation. i know that-i don't know first community partners that want to contribute so i'll invite him up but i just want to say, there's a number of ways that when we do this back in 2014, the first year that chief-the

focus on was a 54% increase in citations. the department made a massive shift in the way they did enforcement and at that time i think was about 24% of the citations were focused on the five. to see goat that huge shift because people were dying on the street and was something we could do about it and also to see that all the station captains had all the other demands on them to also change the intentionality about their enforcement based on data and in partnership with the community is really a completely stunning example of what is possible. i feel like too often we don't celebrate the successes and a note that it doesn't happen overnight. this took years could i just want to say was given the chief ali when he was commander of traffic it was deputy chief mannix. it has been you could meet commanders of the police

permits with community partners and advocates like multiple times, at least for-five times a year to go over and crunch the data to share strategies and so i think sometimes this is personal for me i care about this deeply but just for the commissioners, this piece in particular in many ways is a roadmap how to deal with the really difficult issues and the department deserves a commencement of credit get the captains, capt. perea, under number of station captains were doing everything and also really looked at how to use data to change their enforcement started so i want to thank you and acknowledge you for that. >> thank you and i do want to echo what you said about the district station captains. the thing of large part they credit goes to the officers that are buying into the program and it's the captains that are explaining to the officers and the personnel under their command and making the connection as to why it's important that we are doing what we are doing and vision

zero and focus on the five. again they comes back to what we refer to as the backbone of the firm, the patrol, as was the traffic company offers. so thank you much. >> okay. kathy, not from walk sf. welcome. >> good evening president loftus i commissioners on kathy to logo with walk san francisco and pres. loftus just really took my entire comment out of my mouth. but it was good. i don't think i can-i can't match it but i guess i will start with thanking you. you have been such a champion of vision zero get you've enabled the partnership that you just described. as all of you commissioners know, sometimes advocates don't have the easiest time working with police officers and patrol officers. so commissioner loftus has been a real bridge and a real relationship builder for that. so when we have problems we have been able to sit down and have regular meetings and hash it out just like you said. so, thank you for all your gun to really make

the commission the police department, real champions of vision zero because we need you as commander of sullivan said were not seen significant progress in the number of people who are dying 28 is it that much less than the 31. you really need to see more. so am going to ask urges the commission, to believe they vision zero champions that we need you to be even one president loftus leaves. my time is karen out soon but where my not have time. this is good. i won't take up the whole night though. cmdr. o'sullivan i really want to thank cmdr. o'sullivan's dedication to patient zero. he's been an amazing partner after two manic commander mannix left we were really excited because he's been so great to work with just like cmdr. minix but you never know when personnel changes, what the relationship is going to be like. it is fantastic. he and the captains of the officers on the ground, by reaching focus on the five for

the goal of 50%, four months in a row, his monumental. so i'm here tonight to celebrate that, to thank everyone for the hard work you did a training through an ots grant the department of public health we went to each station we get a training with command staff at each station on vision zero and i heard firsthand from the officers and the captains how hard this was. with all the other constraints all the service calls they get, the problems with the courts, the courts not having night or good i heard all the constraints. it's miraculous that they were able to do this. so i want to celebrate their accomplishments and all the hard work and really look forward to continuing to work together with cmdr. o'sullivan the commissioners, all the station captains and let's keep working hard on this and get those fatalities 20. thank you. >> thank you, kathy. okay, anything further to my chief? >> no. beck includes chief support. thank you >> thank you majeed.

professional life. everything susie loftus ever did was for the benefit of this great city and its police department. i can't thank her enough for stepping forward and she took on some very big task. she did it with everything she had and we had a great conversation the other day. when you do things on this police commission sometimes people in the public, people in different organizations, make it personal. we had great conversation about a book that's written by supreme court justice ginsburg and said how can be so friendly with justice scalia greets she says, you never take it personally. you never make it personal. some great people have terrible ideas and you share them with him. you share them there's a mutual respect and susie has always had that with everybody that she's dealt with. everybody from the public, from the police officers

association, to the members of the commission and there's never been a doubt that her heart is in the right place because she really does care. susie, one of thank you for everything you have done and congratulations on your new beginning in the sheriffs department but the city is going to miss you. >> i'm not dying. >>[laughing] all right. vp or dir. hicks >> i will wait. >> president loftus often people don't recognize in addition to overseeing the police commission the police commission oversees the office of citizen complaints. as president of the police commission you've embraced her responsibility to ensure that the office of citizen complaints was provided the resources it needed to do its job particularly in the area of investigations and policy reform. you embraced the policy work of the office of citizen complaints and you encourage more collaboration between the police commission, the police department and the opposite citizen complaint. your leadership has been inspirational in the area of

police reform. you'll been inclusive in the before making recommendations you thoughtfully considered perspective of all parties. the community, the police department, the police officers and the opposite of citizen complaints. i congratulate you as to my staff members on your new position as chief assistant attorney for the sheriff. sheriff hennessey's gain will be our loss. but i'm happy to remain in the city family. our office looks forward to continued collaboration with you in your new position. >> >> thank you dir. hicks. vp turman dr. marshall. >> so when i heard, as we said the word on the street, that susie was leaving i was like,

oh wow. let me just put it my way. to me, there's no we could have made it through the last two years without her. we could not have done it. i mean, the people screaming at us and yelling at us and just craziness. when you have these kind of crises and was a crisis you need a leader. you've got to have a leader and she just let. period. she didn't await she brought a lot of consensus community groups together original ideas and commissioner mazzucco you have any which there's overboard and there's over over over board. all the family make $42 every two weeks i think. the you could

>>[laughing] you can update your for all the work she did get you be paying a lot of money. the time, the effort the study the conversations,, being yelled at. input on blast by the poa picture going out there that should not happen to anybody but it only happened because we had to get through this. we had to get through it and somebody's got to be the face and subways got to take it in subways got to deal with it and i personally-look other on the commission longer than anybody and commissioner mazzucco i'm glad to see you leave. >>[laughing] i can say that, right? >>[laughing] i really don't think we could've made it without >> we have a long agenda >> >> so, yes. -nice job things a lot. a lot.
