>> good morning, everyone. and happen see new year. welcome to the january 10th, 2018 regular meeting of the neighborhood safety and public services committee. i am supervisor hillary ronen, chair of the committee. to my right is supervisor sheehy, and to my left is

supervisor fewer. the clerk is john carroll, and i would like to thank nona from sfgovtv for attending. can you please call item number one. >> agenda item number is to consider the type of a type 48 general item on sale to la ciudad club, doing business as the city club will serve the necessity and convenience of the city and county. >> supervisor ronen: thank you so much. >> good morning, supervisors. you have before you a pca for

upset, but then, when i started to think about it, it's a move in the right direction, simply for the fact that it's going to cleanup the area more because when i was younger, i got out there, and i fought tooth and nail. i got beat up, my car was vandenbe vandalized and everything. my school was right behind there, and that was a safe haven for the children. i had a sign on the door. i don't know if you're familiar when ethel newland held the meetings, to let them know if they were being bullied to they could come in. my doors are always open, because sometimes you can see crime across the street from my videos.

i will continue for the safety. you know, and i'm hoping that this gentrification. in fact i'm sure it will. it'll take a while for them to grasp it, but thank you for hearing. it's a business for me, it's not a lifestyle. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. i'd like to open this up for public comment. if any member of the public would like to speak, now's your chance. seeing no one, public comment is closed. colleagues, do you have any objection? seeing none, this item moves forward with full recommendation to the board. >> thank you. >> supervisor ronen: mr. carroll, number two.

we're moving two blocks away. i think our track record speaks for itself. also the space is exciting. has been vacant for at least two years, and there's a couple restaurants, if it's not too far away from here, that unfortunately didn't work out, so we'll be able to occupy a space that has been vacant for quite a while in south of market on mission street. we also have some support -- we have support of the neighbors, co-workers, and even some people in the industry. you're more than welcome to talk -- if you guys have questions, at the same time, but if you just want to expedite the day, i think they're content to show their support. i thank them for being here. if you have any specific questions for the community, they're here, as well. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. do you have any questions. i do see some people waving in the audience. i do want to open this up for public comment. if you'd like to comment

forward, anyone and speak on this item, now is your chance. seeing none, public comment is closed. >> thank you very much. >> supervisor ronen: thank you very much and would you like to make a motion? >> supervisor: sure. i move to forward this to the board with positive recommendation. >> supervisor ronen: without objection, this item moves forward to the board with full recommendation. >> clerk: number three is an item on antilgbtq hate crimes. >> supervisor ronen: thank you. and i want to apologize to everyone here. we had to continue this from the last meeting that went long, so i want to thank supervisor sheehy for everyone involved in that. supervisor sheehy? >> good morning, colleagues. i have called a meeting to discuss antilgbtq hate crimes here in the city. we recently learned that hate

crimes in california have jumped 11.2%. in the bay area specifically, there were 60 more hate crimes in 2016 as compared to 2015. san francisco was among the bay area cities with the highest reported numbers. hate crime victims include victims, businesses, government entities, and religious organizations. although we know that hate crimes are often motivated by the victim's race or religion, they are also motivated bisexu by sexual orientation and gender. president trump has blatantly attacked the lgbtq community. he's attempted to ban

transgender military service members. remove all mention of the lgbtq people from their website and include august lgbtq people from bathrooms. building a wall between us and mexico and the elimination of gender identity from the census. his administration does not value inclusiveness or diversity. sadly this has allowed people to commit acts of violence against members of our community, especially or lgbtq community. i want to thank the departments that are here on this item, especially cheryl davis the executor director of the human rights commission, claire farley who the mayor has just appointed -- mayor lee had just appointed senior advisor on transit issue, and district attorney gascon's chief of staff, christine dubarry.

>> good morning, supervisors. thank you for...thank you for the opportunity, thank you, supervisor sheehy for calling for this hearing. it's -- one of the things that we've been discussing a lot is the idea of underreporting, right? so the other thing that really concerns us is this idea that people aren't aware that they can make a report or they're afraid to, and so this -- for us, one of the big things will be after it's all said and done, the idea, and hopefully, the possibility to think about the outreach and awareness campaigns that we can do and know your rights.

so i'll just quickly go through some things. i'm not going to take up much of your time because i do adjust want to say again, the report we have is from 2015, and one of the things we should also think about is data collection and analysis and how we can be intentional about funding that, and again, the idea that we know that a lot of people don't feel comfortable coming forward. that report was something that people spent time to go out and meet directly with folks and get feedback and not wait for them to come in and report. so for us to be a little bit more vigilant about what we're doing around the front end and what we're doing about awareness and education, so i just want to make sure we highlight the work that the hrc is doing, the areas of focus and the work that happens. the discrimination division is where we have investigators

who, when people come in and make complaints, they follow up and do the investigation and mediation if need be. but again, one of the problems that i'm seeing is we aren't having enough people come in to actually file complaints, so we want to be much more proactive to make sure that people know that that is something they can do. another is around policy. we have different ordinances that have been done in the past. we have some things with dph, but we want to make sure that we're working on policy and making sure that it's relevant to community needs. and then, the advisory committees that we have, the lgbt advisory committee, and just our community empowerment work that we've been doing. so the discrimination complaints, as i mentioned, that's happening, and we're very happy to have join our policy unit, but also will be helping us with some of the discrimination division,

aria sayeel, who's going to be working with know your rights opportunities, to make sure that people know that they can come in and we'll help them through that process. we're doing professional developments and workshops. we have some of the against hate campaign, and some of the partnerships around funding, and in that respect and love toolkit, highlights some of the work that we've had in that regard. and i will be saying we've been doing many for school visits and presentations in different places. you actually have before you one of the curriculum guides that we worked on with university of san francisco and other places, and i highlighted the princess boy book that we've been using. and we're also working with our family coalition to do more intentional curriculum that can be used in schools, as well as after school programs, and

helping identify more books and resources that folks can have to do more on the front end, versus waiting for people to file complaints. so the vice prevention needs assessment was done, as i mentioned, in 2015, and the assessment looked at the things that are identified on the slides that you have. i won't read through them. but again, that was done in 2015. we would really like to see us being more consistent with that and to be able to do more -- that more often, so that's just something to think about, so that we're not, again, waiting for people to come in and file complaints to decide what the needs are, but that we can be more intentional and do this, if not annually, at least biannual to get feedback from folks and get a better understanding that's not just based on the reports that we're getting, but that's based on real community feedback. and it will give us something to measure and look at. if we can do something in this next year, it'll allow us to

look at whether there's been an increase or a decrease in some of the complaints. >> supervisor ronen: and is there anything preventing you from doing that automatically or is it a resource issue? >> funding. resource issue robe rope is that something you're looking for in your budget this up coming here. >> so we will seek to probably do that, but one of the issues is we've all been given charges to decrease our budget, and so it's just something that we'll have to think about in terms of the scope of everything and hopefully during the budget process, we can find a way to identify funds from that. >> supervisor sheehy: yeah. we should look at that. given the environment that we're in, the trend isn't downward. >> right. >> supervisor ronen: and this project, i remember, came out of an ad back, my former boss, supervisor campos, and so we need to make sure that that's baselined, and we keep it going. >> i think the actual should be

kept going, and i think it's very helpful because it lets us see that it's not in any one neighborhood, but that it's in every neighborhood, and it definitely goes underreported, or we seem to think it's only happening in one community. but this'll give us a better snapshot of where it's happening and we can do better preventative work. >> supervisor fewer: do you have any data from sfusc. >> we have a hearing coming up on the 25th, and the school district, the fire department and the da's office have all been invited to come. one of the things is how do we collect data in a better way. i've been working to try to get a better handle on data. we have a better anecdote wial. we're going to do some work

with the counselors next week. there's a two-day retreat, and we'll do a workshop with them. >> supervisor fewer: there's a risk assessment that they do every other year. it really talks about lgbtq students and what they are experiencing in our schools, around violence, also. and i know the numbers are pretty high. while i was there, i wrote a resolution, actually. we are recommitting to our commitment to our lgbt students -- lgbtq students, and so there is a now one fte person who deals with just lgbtqq students, so i think he or she could be a good source of information because they are the ones who hear stuff right on the ground that's happening. they're connected on the ground with our wellness centers, too. >> well, i will definitely follow up, because we've been working how do we expand some of the curriculum and introduce

audrey lord and other folks to try and think about how we talk about this work and linking it to some of the modern day artists, so that's very helpful to know. >> supervisor fewer: thank you. >> and so the next one is just the key findings. and again, for us, it would be really great to look at where we are now, compared to in 2015, and to think about how we can also evaluate the tools and strategies that we've been using to measure whether those have had any impact. that is going to be a big -- the equity measuring social impact is something that our office is really pushing across the board to have all the departments report out. the controller's office just did a survey to all the different departments for us to get a better understanding of how they're measuring their impact on equity, and this is something we'd like to be able to look at in the future, as well. and then, the key

recommendations, and we have been grateful through the different supervisor's offices and the different ad back processes. i will say the one thing that we fell prey to, which we are actually pushing all the departments to think about is when we talk about culturally competent, and we fund agencies, we don't always get to the folks who are actually doing the work or are on the ground, and we need to think about how we invest in capacity building for those organizations so that we don't continue to give money to the larger organizations that have the infrastructure to write great grants and that have the infrastructure to do really awesome reports, and then, we forget about the people on the ground that are actually doing the work and aren't being compensated in a way that allows them to live in the city. so that is one of the big ways that as we think about the funding and as we think about moving this forward, what does it look like to do capacity building and what does it look like to invest that. not just say that our community

needs to be stronger, but to actually put money towards that. i think that's something we struggled with this year and we need to definitely do a better job. >> supervisor sheehy: can you talk a little bit deeper level. i kind of hear what you're saying, and i kind of have a sense of what you're saying. there's traditionally well funded, well organized institutions, and i've seen that in my work. and a lot of time, people are doing the very innovative work, traditionally where people don't have access. >> they shouldn't have to ask those larger organizations to subcontract with them or to respect their ideas, and i think you alluded to it in your opening remarks, is that we see that it's happening statewide, but when we mix the intersectionality of people of color with their sexual orientation or preference, then we see that they are even

further marginalized, and they are not being supported to actually move the work. and that for me is a tragedy, and that's something that we really -- we made -- we made a hard decision this year, and we funded a larger organization at the expense of a smaller organization that was doing the work. and that organization now has to ask other enter at this times to recognize them as leaders in that work. it's almost like we took their credibility and their validation way by taking their funding. so we don't have the money right now to invest in building their capacity, to either get a grant writer or to hire someone who's focused on the optics, because they're so focused in dealing with the day-to-day work of struggling -- i think we feel san francisco is a mecca, and the people that do

that work are not being supported to support those folks, and that concerns me. and so as we continue to get more and more funding, it doesn't mean that the funding is getting to the people who need it. >> supervisor sheehy: yeah. let's continue. i want to continue this discussion, because i -- especially where intersectionality is concerned, i always feel that that's been a weakness in the community and really recognizing and supporting work that actually stresses that. >> right. i think if we look at the numbers of who's experiencing the hate crimes, i think that we'll see that it's a group of folks that have -- whether it's their immigration status, whether it's there socioeconomic status, whether it's where they live that they're experiencing it at higher volumes, and they may not feel comfortable going into some of the higher functioning organizations that have the resources to support them. so it's just something for us to think about. and we will continue to do some of the work around the citywide

public education campaigns. i shared with you some of the curriculum that we've developed. i also wanted to share some of the -- this is from one of the schools that we were working with, roof ttop, so again, not maybe a school that we would immediately identify, but they asked for support to deal with equity in these issues largely, so this is a toolkit that students developed for those workshops, to talk about school community. we have the -- after, the possibility of the patriot prayer event, we started doing weekly conversations. and i know we've been talking about supervisor sheehy's office about hosting one in his district. we have a lunch group that'll happen today with jana barkin, and we're doing more of those workshops, in terms of public education and awareness.

and then, really trying to focus on the most vulnerable. sney has been working with aria, and so there is some work going, and we want to be able to continue to do that, but we want to make sure that the most vulnerable populations do not feel that we're overlooking for them for the organizations that have the funding. so just highlighting some of the partnerships, which is also listed in the books that you have, and then, the policy. i did want to be mindful, because i said i was going to go quickly, and i have not done that. so just thank you again for the opportunity to kind of elevate and share the work. and ultimately, we are hoping to see more funding and more support specifically for data collection and analysis for building the capacity of organizations who are on the ground that are doing the work, but how they tell their

stories, so that they can be recognized and accepted and validated in that work. and then, just to continue thinking about how we do more of this public awareness and public education for folks to know, not just what their rights are, but where to go if those rights have been violated, but where to go if it's a hate crime. i think that's the largest challenge for our office, if they know that somebody is not treating them nicely, and it's based on their orientation, but it's not necessarily a hate crime, how do we continue to offer support and space for that, and what that looks like. thank you again for this opportunity, and we look forward to working with each of you. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you, and please keep in touch as we go into the budget season. i think these needs are not going to decrease.

>> supervisor fewer: miss davis, how much is allocated to you for the needs assessment? >> so currently, do you remember what that amount was, initially? 50,000, so it's not a large amount. >> supervisor fewer: no, right, absolutely. thank you. >> supervisor sheehy: and to the extent we can have discussions that will improve the relationship with the school district, as someone who has a 12-year-old, almost middle school, with boots on the ground, that is a particular place, and a particular time when -- and it's not just around certainly orientation or gender identity. a lot of it's about how people learn to respect women and girls, and i think that you see some broader culturation. the culture seems to influence

our kids in a way that sometimes is a lot of times isn't consistent with san francisco values. >> right. i will say that after the election last year, all of the schools experienced an up2id ck in not just necessarily hate crimes, but light weight bullying, and people saying things that they shouldn't, and so beginning to have those conversations and those dialogues is really important, and so that young people can feel comfortable saying, you know what, i think there's a culture or a shift that needs to be addressed, and i think that's the biggest thing that we've been working on, is how to go into schools and talk about that culture shift. even just people saying oh, you know whether somebody is acting like a girl or if they're too sensitive or things like that and just be able to start to address that earlier on before it escalates into something larger. and we've seen -- and schools have been great about asking for support and resources in

that way. >> supervisor fewer: you know, after having been on the board and work odd this issue primarily, i was the lead on the board on it, is what we are also looking for is an interruption with adults, that when they hear it, when they see it, that there needs to be interruption, and they don't just let it go. teachers need to say, we don't say that here, or we don't do that, or that is very harmful or hurtful. my frustration is they ask for resources, and they get them, but then, they don't pass it onto the students. sometimes role models for students, coaches in particular, that they're the ones that really have to speak up and say something, and i think that is the reluctantance of many staff members.

adults also can't perpetuate this type of behavior. you know, having had a child in the public school system that's lgbt makes some experiences, i think are really harmful and hurtful, and i think it -- this is happening every day in the classrooms, and i think it's something that we should really be addressing. so it's not just sometimes the students, support for students. it's support for students, but i think it's also an interruption by adults in the building, also, that they have to be able to speak out. >> well, i will say that the one challenge i have is also with some of the curriculum around african americans is that people will be like oh, i don't have -- i don't have someone that looks like that or that is experienced like that in my classroom or my school, and i think we have to have people understand, that doesn't have to exist in your school for us to talk about it and

gibb begin to have those conversations because at some point in time, that will exist in your world, and that you need to be prepared for that to not be unusual, but you need to accept that as every day occurrences and not waiting for that one person to make that relevant. >> supervisor fewer: yeah, and actually, especially in our schools, is that we are creating a whole generation of students and a culture around a whole generation of san franciscans, so even more important. but i'm also worrying about parochial and private schools, because they also educate a large section of san francisco children. >> i don't know if you know, supervisor fewer, my experience is working in public schools, so working on that, we have been doing quite a bit with independent and parochial

schools. i think it was a couple of years ago, like, one of the private high schools had an issue where one of the young ladies wanted to wear a tuxedo in the graduation picture, and they wouldn't let her picture be in the yearbook, so we are trying to work with them. >> has the arch diocese been supportive? >> i don't know. i haven't reached out to them yet. >> supervisor sheehy: okay. that was very helpful. now, i would like to introduce claire farley from the mayor's office. thank you. >> thank you all so much, and i appreciate the opportunity to speak with you and thank you, jeff, for inviting me to speak on this important hearing. i have notes, and i recognize that i'm speaking to the choir, so i recognize all of your

alliship. if we look at every 90 minutes, a reported hate crime occurs in america, and there's, you know, thousands of ones that are unreported. across the country, trans rights are being stripped away for marginalized communities across america, so we're seeing that this larger systemic vials is really a moment where we need to look at and reflect on both the lives, the safety, and the well-being of all diverse communities, so i really think it's important that we look at how we're building those bridges. 2017 was one of the moment deadliest years for transgender people. we had over 27 transgender people murdered in the u.s. due to fatal violence, gun

violence, or other violent means. across the world, over 325 murders of transgender people have occurred last year, and so these numbers continue to grow despite the public awareness of transgender people across the country. so with visiblity also comes vulnerablity, and so looking that there's programs, as hrc mentioned, that can track these trends, but also making sure that we're addressing them as a community. you know, as cheryl mentioned, violence occurs in the home, on the street, in the workplace, in public transit, within our schools, so we really do need to look at strong strategies and partnerships with victim services to make sure that communities feel supported and that services are tailored for their needs. you know, furthermore, in san francisco, we are a leading city. we're a beacon.

people are flooding here from across the country as rights are being stripped away, and so people are looking at us to continue to push the needle on this issue, and i think it's important that we do more. i won't go into all the specific data, but i think in my work with the lgbt center prior to this role, i was the director of economic development, and we were able to partner with hrc and sney on the needs assessment, and there were some really great quotes. and i think sometimes bringing the voices of the community that we serve into the room is really helpful. one person says, "it's sometimes really sad because this is supposed to be the town and the city where we are free to be ourselves, and sometimes it isn't." another person said, i stay home a lot since i don't feel safe in my neighborhood. and then, in terms of the call to action, someone said" what a

person who experiences violence really needs is practical help, an advocate when talking to the police, an assistant to find an attorney or legal help, support while in court. these are the practical tasks to interact with providers who are often not lgbt sensitive, or really critical in healing and supporting trauma." and then, you know, i think just to bring it even closer to the community, last year, we lost bubbles in september in the tenderloin. there's been a string of other hate crime and antilgbt violence that we often forget about in our city that i think is important to bring up. we saw violence in the pacific center, the lgbtq latino memorial in 2015, trans women have been attacked on muni.

we lost taja dejesus in the bayview, which led to a great program that the hrc funded that advocated for transwomen. so in closing, i feel like we need to continue to look at how hate and violence is systemic across the country, but how that's also impacting our community and neighbors. and furthermore, as cheryl mentioned, i feel like we need to continue to get more data so that we can advocate for more collaboration with more funded organizations, whether that's antiviolence campaigns throughout the city and other departments, but really looking at how we can support and mobilize future change. thank you so much for your time. >> supervisor fewer: i have one question. so are we in any way tracking

organizations that are trying to infiltrate into san francisco into communities in san francisco with an antilgbt agenda with the goal of suppressing lgbtq rights? are we seeing -- are we tracking that at all and are there influence. and also, who are these groups and who are -- what are they -- what are they doing and are they having an impact? >> yeah, i can definitely get some more detail on that. i mean, there has been several hate watch groups that have been tracking specifically legislation around antibathroom bills that support transgender students across schools. there's been a huge mobilization of organizations that have been trying to stop and create policies across the country. luckily, san francisco, we were able to mobilize on those issues a few years ago and kind of stop some of that push back, but i think as we see these

laws being won across the country. i think there was over 100 pieces of legislation, antilgbt legislation last year, so as we see those trends again in this new legislative cycle, i think it's important that we stay watchful because you know as laws change across the country, we need to be diligent that that doesn't impact our policy here. and then, you know, on our team, in my role, i'm really doing a broader strategic plan to really look at the assessment and needs of what programs are currently funded by the mayor's office to support trans and lgbt folks and we're also doing an analysis to see where there's broader missing pieces, and so tracking hate groups is part of that process. and then we'll be building out a trans advisory group committee. that will not only advise us but the mayor's office so that

we can really speak to you directly about the information that's coming out of the community. >> supervisor fewer: so this information that you're gathering around these groups, is there any way that the public can know or be warned because sometimes their antilgbt agenda isn't the face of the organization; that they are representing something else, and then their main agenda is to suppress the rights of the lgbtq folks. so i'm wondering, is the public -- can the public with aware of this so if they get involved with groups, they know that these groups -- that when their overall agenda is? >> yeah. and you know i'm not clear yet how our office will be involved with that, but i think definitely partnering with mobile organizations to support that. we're also building out a communication component from my office so that we can make sure to keep people updated on issues that are impacting

communities and other issues in the lgbt community, so i'm really hoping the city can continue to have a voice on these issues. >> supervisor fewer: and a lot of the services i know are english -- of course, we're english dominant here, but actually, i think that happen when i've done a language assessment sort of hearing, i'm seeing that there's great need for in these communities -- we're talking about underreporting, trust of the bureaucracy, that is this multilink well, are we offering it in different languages, and is it culturally competent? because sometimes in other communities, lgbt folks are viewed in a very different way, you know, so are we doing these in different languages, and are they culturally sensitive, the information that we give to the public? >> yeah. i think that's a really great comment, and i work to train all of hsa in my previous

position, so we developed a train the trainer model which i know is in the process of being translated, but i agree, most of the service providers that are funded through the city, we have to look at kind of noncity funded dollars or grant money to cover translation. i've been a cochair on the transgender day of remembrance for several years, and we have to raise money just to cover translation in asl to bring allies together to honor those who have been lost due to violence over the years, so i do think if we want to continue to make services accessible, we have to identify ways to have translation and services in folks' languages of origin. and then also through education, we need to make sure that we're reaching community groups and departments across the city, so we'll also be having a training arm that will

work in partnership with hrc and other orgs that are doing training to kind of get folks at a baseline understanding of lgbt communities. >> supervisor sheehy: just a question on -- and i think i talked to teresa sparks about this a bit. so we are seeing more lgbtq kids coming here and frequently ending up on the streets, yes? >> yes, yeah. working with your office, jeff, to support the lgbt youth provider network, and so our office has kind of been acting as an advisor to the consultant on that project and also wanting to work with you closely to see how we can really address this influx of lgbt youth on the streets. the last homeless count had lgbt youth at 49% of the youth

who are on the streets. the broader homeless population, 20% are lgbt, so we continue to see kind of a lack of balance around the funding that are going to these services and the amount of lgbt folks that are able to access these -- these shelters and housing resources. so i definitely feel like there's a lot of ask from the community partners and working with your office to continue to make sure that we're advocating across city departments to mistake sure that those needs are in the fold. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you, yeah, because i do think we have to acknowledge that economic disparities are a form of violence itself. >> and i think my work around economic development and workforce development, it's been more focused, and so now broadening that, i really feel i can use those learnings

across the public sector and across the city as well. >> supervisor sheehy: thank you. >> thank you. >> supervisor sheehy: so next, we will hear from sergeant mcdonald from the san francisco police department. >> good morning, supervisors. i'm lieutenant david o'conor. i'm the officer in charge of the special investigations division of the san francisco police department. the pd handles many issues, but one of our main missions is investigating hate crimes. there are six san francisco police department sergeants that are assigned to the main office in sid. the those sergeants are seven days a week, 24 hours a day. there's -- on call if anything happens after hours, i'm

notified, and then an sfpd sergeant would be notified regarding any investigations that arise. sergeant monica mcdonald is the police department hate crimes liaison sergeant, and with that, i'll turn it over to sergeant mcdonald to provide the information that was requested. >> good morning. thank you. we just wanted to give you a quick snapshot of hate crimes and specific lgbtq hate crimes for the last two years here in san francisco. so in 2016, there were 18 antilgbtq hate crimes reported in san francisco out of a total of 36 hate crimes here in the city. this year, in 2017, we had 13 specifically antilgbtq hate crimes out of a total of 40 hate crimes that were reported here in san francisco. >> supervisor ronen: i'm sorry, are these crimes that were charged, arrested, or --

>> our crime comes reported to the police department. >> supervisor ronen: reported to the police department? >> yeah, exactly. so i think we had -- so for 2017, we had 40 total incidents. out of those 40 total, we were able to make 20 arrests for last year. and that is just a comparison between 2016 and 2017 for lgbtq hate crimes and then total citywide. that is all we have for you. if you have any questions, i'm certainly available. >> supervisor fewer: are these misdemeanors, felonies, and what kind of crimes are we talking about? >> it depends. so the hate crime is an additional charge. it's so -- there has to be an initial crime, so there's a threat, there's a vandalism, an assault, a
