7:00 am
in trying to better understand what's happening, i've had many conversations who -- with elected leaders in emoryville, in the smaller cities that makeup the larger alameda county, and there's a diverse perspective. i think one thipg that is uniform that is everyone values the exercise, and i value the exercise, so my question to my staff at dem is how can we as the fiscal sponsors extrapolate the vendor portion of -- of -- of the exercise? how can we exercise more oversight and influence and ensuring that there are none xenophobic, racist, islamophobic sexist comments
7:01 am
written in the scenarios. do you want to comment? [ inaudible ] >> -- with the department of emergency management. well, you have my word, i will consult with my executive director as soon as she returns from d.c. >>supervisor cohen: well, to be fair, you gave me your word that you were going to work with supervisor yee, and you didn't do that. >> we have met with him several times, and we have a differing dialogue, to be fair, but i will work with the director, cronenberg, and i'm sure it's a conversation she will have with the other community members and sheriff ahern, absolutely. >>supervisor cohen: at this time, i'd like to ask the assistant sheriff of alameda county to come up. i just wanted to give you an opportunity to give some feedback on some of the remarks you heard here today, going a little further than the two minutes that you had in public
7:02 am
comment, and i assume out of the representatives, i am the most senior. >> yes, ma'am, i am. do you mind if i grab my notes. >>supervisor cohen: grab your notes. i'll just continue talking until you get back to the podium. thank you for being here, because i think the short coming of this conversation is you guys have not been here at the table in san francisco, so thank you, and i appreciate you being here. >> and i appreciate those comments, and in the future, i will make sure that there are people here from alameda county to address any questions. if i could start by saying, i know that there's been some comments that urban shield has evolved over the years. it started out as a police exercise and has evolved into an emergency management exercise. we have heard the concerns of the community over the years, we have heard the concerns of some of our elected officials, and we have made changes as a result of that. we had a significant amount of community involvement.
7:03 am
we've always had citizen and community volunteers with urban shield, however, you heard we had neighborhood response team exercises, we had the gray command, very successful. heard the issue about the oath keepers. we don't have interaction with them. they requested to come at the last minute. had we known that there was a perception that they were an extremist group, they would not have been allowed to be there. those were not used to identify suspects. there were many wearing those, at what i believe to be the incident in question. they were strictly being used as a protective measure. many people here in the united states of america now wear those when they're in certain environments to protect those
7:04 am
in sun. >>supervisor cohen: with you we're in alameda county. we don't have strong one. we can discuss climate change, but the reality is it doesn't enhance the exercise in any way. you see how it makes you look bad? >> yes, ma'am. i do tunds. i just want to make it clear that we were not using it to identify suspects, and we do not use them to identify suspects in any kind of incident or anything like that. there were about 70 vendors there primarily targeting an audience of police and fire. out of those almost 70 vendors, there were five of them that did have firearms displayed. they're not sold on the premtss, bpremt premtss -- premises. >>supervisor cohen: correct me if i'm wrong, to the point, there's other trade shows and
7:05 am
other opportunities to evaluate new weapons. >> yes, that's correct. >>supervisor cohen: so it doesn't necessarily need to happen with this -- at this event. >> that's correct, and also you had mentioned the funding that comes from that, the funding that comes from that is utilized to pay for things that we cannot bill to the grant, for example, so the amount of funding that results from that is pretty small in the grant scheme of things, and i am planning on speaking to sheriff ahern about possible making some adjustments going forward with the vendor show. i have had some discussions with my staff regarding that this year, but i will be planning to have further discussions with the sheriff to see what his thoughts are on the matter. >>supervisor cohen: i would appreciate that because times are changing, and i know the sheriff is also up for reelection, i don't know if there's anyone that's running against him or not. >> not yet. >>supervisor cohen: but there is -- times are changing, and i
7:06 am
think that we would be -- we would be foolish not to acknowledge the change, and that we have to respond accordingly. you took an oath to protect and to serve, and that means everyone. and when i think about the all too numerous shooting occurrences that have happened, even in our state of california, when you think about a few weeks ago, north of san francisco, i mean, we need -- i do believe we need to be prepared. >> i -- and i couldn't agree more, ma'am. and just on that note, i would like to state that -- that the number of shootings, at least in the region, have declined significantly over the recent past, and not that that's attributed to urban shield, but just so you know, swat operations that take place, most swat operations are resolved in a safe manner without a use of force, and part of that is a result of the
7:07 am
equipment that's utilized at those incidents, if you will. years ago, swat operation was basically, you know, busting down a door and flooding into a house as fast as you possibly could to overwhelm the occupants. that's not the case anymore. now what swat teams typically do is they do surround and call outs. it's very methodical, and they try to bring out the people inside, and a lot of that equipment is utilized during urban shield. >>supervisor cohen: thank you. i appreciate your extra commentary. supervisor yee? >>supervisor yee: so, we just concluded that one can go to other shows and get the same information. that's one thing, and you just said that the show brings in some funding, but it's a small
7:08 am
piece of the funding. so why are we doing this, and if we're -- i guess from my point of view, if we value that we don't want our personnel to participate in shows where they're selling a bunch of weaponry and if they're not selling it there, they're raffling it off -- i hope next year, they don't raffle off a tank or something. but i guess the question is if this is a point of contention for many that's here, is it really worth the money that you get to do this or can it be made up in a way so that the controversial issues can go away so that you can actually have these exercises, that many people can see that there's some value in it? >> i think that is possible, and again, that's some of the
7:09 am
discussion that i've had with my staff this year that oversaw the vendor show this year. part of the reason -- the primary reason why we do it is again, there's things that we can't pay for with county funds or bill against the grants. for example, meals that are served at dinner at what we call the hot box. that gets paid for through money that's veefd from -- received from vendors, so it would result in a change of probably some of the things that we receive for some of the participants, but i think it's a discussion we should have yee ayee -- >>supervisor yee: one of the things you can do is there shouldn't be any vendors that's
7:10 am
going to display military weaponry. >>supervisor cohen: i appreciate it. we're going to move on and take up the issue that we have here, and i understand it's interesting. i would be offended if somebody came into my county and told me what to do with the money, but in order for us to continue to move forward, i think collectively, otherwise, we're going to have the same problems, we're going to have the problems, we're going to have the protests, we're going to have the unrest, and we have an opportunity to bridge a gap here. the department of emergency management is responsible for administering the grant fore the bay area uasi, ensuring that the grant funds are spend according to grant guidelines and ensuring that each of the bay area counties and cities that they may receive a portion of the grant funds, that they adhere to the grant and fifrk will guidelines cht i want to read into the record for those of you that don't know the summary budget as follows, because i think we need to
7:11 am
bring some clarity. equipment, equipment is approximately $6.3 million. planning is approximately $4.4 million. training is $1.8 million. exercise is what we -- line share of our conversation was about today is $1.8 million. organization is $6.8 million, and the management administration is $1.1 million, so this is still, in total, a significant amount of money. we're asking -- we're being asked to accept and then expend approximately $22.5 million from the federal department of homeland security, so this is not an insignificant amount of money and there are a lot of very concerned people that are paying attention. so supervisor yee or supervisor tang, i don't know if there's a motion that you'd like for us to begin to take on. let's start with item 18.
7:12 am
there was a series of amendments that were read into the record by supervisor yee. there were two in particular. the last two, further resolved clauses in the back. supervisor tang, i think you had -- are you able to support both or are you able to support one or none? >>supervisor tang: first, for item 18, i support all of his amendments. it was item 19. >>supervisor cohen: okay. fantastic. so -- by the way, i just want to acknowledge that public comment is closed. i'm not sure if i did that. so supervisor yee has read into the record his amendments. i'm happy to accept both of the amendments as well, supervisor, and we can take that without objection. >>supervisor yee: yes. >>supervisor cohen: okay. so as amended, we will accept i guess two additional further resolved clause. >> clerk: and that will be referred to the full board? >>supervisor cohen: that will be referred with a positive recommendation to the full board. thank you. item 19, there were three
7:13 am
amendments that were proposed, three additional whereas clauses to the mou, and let's take them one by one. okay. i'll read them. the first one, whereas the city and county of san francisco does not condone training that promotes militaryized training that promotes stroo types and focus on religious programs. we accept this without objection. next item you be for consideration is the second whereas clause that says whereas the city and county of san francisco are -- in incorporating or principles -- that is an amendment, supervisor tang? is that a yes or a no. >>supervisor tang: oh, no. >>supervisor cohen: okay. supervisor yee. we'll do a roll call vote on this particular amendment.
7:14 am
we'll start with supervisor tang. >> clerk: yes. tang, no. vice chair yee? >>supervisor yee: yes. >> clerk: yee, aye. chair cohen? >>supervisor cohen: no. >> clerk: cohen, no. the motion fails. >>supervisor cohen: the third and final whereas clause says whereas if uasi funding is used for programs that are incompatible with the values and goals the board of supervisors may consider legislation restricting participation in uasi in the future. we can do a roll call vote on that, as well. >> clerk: on that motion, supervisor tang? >>supervisor tang: no. >> clerk: tang, no. supervisor yee? >>supervisor yee: aye. >> clerk: yee, aye. chair cohen? >>supervisor cohen: no. >> clerk: cohen, no. the motion fails. >>supervisor cohen: all right.
7:15 am
we have one amendment in item 19 that has been accepted, and i'd like to make a motion to move this forward to the full board with a positive recommendation as amended. >> clerk: madam chair, i believe there's one more amendment to the dem to make the matter retroactive. >>supervisor cohen: that's correct. we can also take that with the final vote. >> clerk: yet. >>supervisor cohen: so we'll accept the amendment from dem as well as the one remaining amendment that supervisor yee introduced, and we can take this without objection. >> clerk: yes. the matter will be amended and forwarded to the board of supervisors with the full recommendation. >>supervisor cohen: all right. are there any other matters before this board? >> clerk: that concludes the agenda. >>supervisor cohen: all right. we're adjourned.

concerns. >> supervisor fewer: that's thee of the chair. >> do i have permission to use e flip charts as props? or should i just read from them. >> supervisor fewer: you can uss props. do you need any assistance? thank you. >> so your commission actually p with four initial items to delvr into for future focus of this commission. out of those four, you actuallya deeper dive in terms of conversn opportunities and concerns on tf them. the first topic was sea level ra result of climate change. the second was public/private partnership opportunities. the third was municipal banking.
7:45 am
the fourth that you chose to noe any further at least for purposf today's discussion was level ofg and navigation centers to solvee homelessness problem. with respect to the sea level re conversation, the opportunitiest this commission identified woult this would be a collaborative e. lots of public discussion regare existing plan. what are the effects of the neighborhood? your commission had indicated tt neighborhood flooding is a prob. so an opportunity to explore th. to perhaps look at and enhance a coordinated plan to the creatioa
7:46 am
sea level rise adaptation plan. your commission noted that thism is inevitable. so it will is time to plan and e for the disasters that will occa result of sea level rise. it will allow you an opportunitk at any current existing emergenn and recommend improvement. im-- improvement on those plans. some of the concerns that your commission talked about should s particular issue be undertaken s lafco is that there could be a r additional funding that there ae limited funds for this lafco. and so find ag finding additione
7:47 am
sources that are legal issues te mindful of and certainly your ll council is your guidance in tha. you would need to define a cleae of this study. this is a huge -- all of the tot you discuss are huge. defining a scope of your study g to be important for you. that there are existing processd ownership of those progresseses. it's incumbent upon this lafco e for yourself the value and the e that you bring as a partner to s conversation. so that was the discussion aroua level rise. the next topic for potential stt you discussed in more detail wae public/private partnership scem. the opportunities you identifiee
7:48 am
was that this would be an opporo review benefits to the city andy by getting at what is it that -s it that private entities can pum sorry, that is risk analysis. is the city and county getting e benefits that are appropriate is of the partnerships? also a risk analysis. how can a private ebb at thi eny and county at risk in terms of s partnership? to explore benefit packages negd by hospitals, to take a look ate private and for-profit transit s using the streets of the city. to look at financing, to look ag rights. this is an opportunity to shinet on the need to increase transpan
7:49 am
the formation of the partnershi. to gain insight into the depth d breath of the partnerships thatt today. and to -- for the lafco to be te city-wide watchdog and mechanist the appropriate governance of te partnership. the concerns that you talked abt relates to this particular issue similar to the ones for sea lev. you have limited funding. you have need to find revenue s. be mindful of legal issues. you have to define the scope an, there are existing processes and ownership. so being clear with yourself ang able to define the value of lafg a partner in these conversations going to be important as well an additional concern that was ide, and that is these existing proc, there is a private industry aspo
7:50 am
that that adds a different layef dimension for your consideratio. finally with respect to municipl banking, the opportunities thatu identify there was an opportunio develop and present a scope thas complimencliment ri and adds to- climent r -- yousee potential fr this. you said it allows a several iss under one umbrella and in us dig those, you identified them as c, affordable housing, local buildr cca, homelessness and fiberoptic broadband.
7:51 am
then, you talked about diversifk and focus. you had a belief this adds highn terms of adding to the intereste board as well as increasing dem. some of the concerns, again, ths sea level rise. mindful of legal issues. the need to define your scope, d to define your value as a partne mindful of all of those existing partnerships in the conversatiot may be going on. this is really a long term issu. you also indicated that for this particular project, or focus, ta high level of expert analysis we needed on the longer term. and you had conversation aroundg for that. there was also the concern idend
7:52 am
for a potential high resistancem real estate capital. those were the three major issut you identified and discussed ine bit more detail in terms of opportunities and concerns. and with that, i'll turn it bac- >> thank you miss miller. is there any comments from the commissioners? >> first, i wanted to thank misr so much for coming and helping s through this process to help ust could be potential work of the d i want to thank my fellow commis for engaging in this exercise we which is what i needed to get bk engaged in this body and excitet the work ahead of us. it worked, it happened and i'm g forward to working with you on e
7:53 am
potential, exciting future work. with that, of all the things the discussed in weighing both the opportunities and concerns and g through capacity and budget, i d suggest that we continue the wot we've been doing with cca, thatt a new work area and look into ap define thdefinethe work furthern francisco and work on and pursue of work for analyzing public pre partnerships. i think if we limit the body's , these are big topics. if we limit the scope of the pr- of the topics and limit the scon
7:54 am
further with the help of some st that we can bring on, i think id enough for the body to continueo innovate and add new work in the but narrow enough to focus and s moving on some work projects thn really add value to the city any of san francisco. if i can make that particular m, but i wanted to start the discu. >> supervisor fewer: let's havea discussion then open it to publc comment then entertain a motion. >> just to echo the commission's thoughts in thanking miss miller facilitating our workshop, i the sometimes need to see it on theo realize where there is synergy,o
7:55 am
