hours and take a shower and do the restaurant laundry and sometimes there's case management there and sometimes there's not and it's essentially a place like a day shelter is another term that people use to describe these and that is not what we're proposing. >> in regards to the funding break down of the renovations, i guess, you showed some numbers earlier and can you flash it back up there. starting with that 5 million on top. there we go. um -- so what part of the budget is going towards renovating the office space versus the supportive services space or the

access space. >> a third of the funds are being used to support the clients serving parts of the building which is not just the access point it's also we have homeward bound staff on site as well as other staff who directly serve clients getting them access and the first will be more client facing. >> i'm trying to get a handle and wrap myself around this concept that is this is an emergency. mainly because in my mind, the original version of this was to build out as office space so what makes this an emergency again? >> i believe homelessness in san francisco in its self emergency with 7500 people on any given night 20,000 people year experience homelessness and as

we drive to reduce those numbers and get people access to services and they're in their homelessness we need to have access points in this city so that we can better use and expand our existing programs so having our homeward bound staff on site with access to showers for people who need to get on the bus and make it more efficient and make it possible for us to serve even more people and that particular program and having access points coordinated entry councillors on site are going to speed up people's access to permanent supporter but just importantly it's going to let people know who are not qualified for permanent supportive housing what services are available to them so we can keep people from waiting on our streets hoping they'll get in to housing and rapid rehousing and

other programs to get people off of our streets and back indoors. >> so, you identify or name two access points locations are you saying right now those two locations have people lined up around the block or something needed to get in. what is your emergency here? >> those two sites are serving families and they're not serving the single adult population we have not yet opened up access points for single adults. >> ok. >> um, any questions? >> i just wanted to know, i know you talked about this and your community out reach program was for this and it came up again and last summer and spring i just wanted to hear what process you went through in terms of moving forward on your revised

plan. >> i'm going to ask by my colleague emily cohen who managed this process to speak to this. >> great. thank you. >> thank you supervisors emily cohen with homelessness and supportive housing and we believed this community out reach programs and we held two large community meetings with tender loin stakeholders with residents and local businesses and service providers in the neighborhood and we heard really mixed input about how what people saw and what they wanted and we heard some concerns about the passage on the sidewalk and front if you spent time at turke and hide that corner needs attention and folks were very concerned about what was happening on that block and we engage in these conversations with the community we convened a working group of enabled leaders and we did a lot of talking about the concerns and the

concerns that surfaced for the neighborhood that we heard very clearly they did not want this site to be 24/7 and they did not want people coming in from ousted tenderloin or being brought in from outside the tenderloin use services so we took that to heart and scaled back what we planned for that and we know that any head quarters for the department of homelessness needs to be accessible to folks experiencing homelessness but we wanted to listen and be respectful of the community and scale back the resource center from there we continue to hold meet meetings and i ran ten meetings throughout the community alliance for a better tenderloin and met with stakeholders the mayor led a meeting with business leaders in the community and we discussed this framework and this plan and i think that this -- what we landed on here comes through with a nice compromise we had some folks calling for a big

resource center at 440 and some folks calling for no client services at 440 and we struck a great ball and we found support throughout the neighborhood and activating the site providing security and a place for people to come in and not a magnet bringing people in and not having the people bringing from all over the city and that was one of the biggest concerns that we heard and we wanted to be really responsive and a good neighbor and we're interested in working with the block the other business owners and other providers on the block to activate that space and we look forward to being part of the neighborhood. >> thank you. >> yeah. >> in regards to -- i'm just curious emily, in regards to those two large community meetings i mean, departments come in here all the time saying we had this large community meeting with five people and i am just curious how many people were in attendance total for the

two? >> i had 150 sign-ins from those meetings and they weren't even 75/75 but it was 150 folks total came to both of those meetings. >> that constitutes large. >> it's not large to me. >> every department has the defense. >> any other questions? ok. if i could just add to that, you know, the issue that has come up and i have received e-mails about this today is that there were some folks who felt like we ignored their concerns about having showers and laundry facilities on site and i want to be clear we didn't ignore anybody's concerns and we didn't grow with everybody's concerns so we understand, we made a proposal and it was not accepted by the community and we scaled it back to turn it in to something else after listening to folks but where we landed on this it's noting going to be a

resource center and it will be a welcoming department and meet the needs of our clients who come in as someone coming in getting a bus home or to get and go to a housing interview we need to have some very basic services available to those folks including showers and building and it's to serve one or two people to do that so we heard the community and some people want this to be lots of showers and laundry and places to sit for hundreds of people and some as emily said didn't want, we heard everybody's concerns and we did our best to balance those concerns with the needs of the department and most importantly with the needs of people who are experiencing homelessness. >> let me have -- about the office space for a second here. i guess again, i thought it was going to be office space and then it would accommodate your

staff it seems like we're cutting it in half using second floor for office space. >> first and second floor. >> ok, primarily second floor. >> and then is that going to come and accommodate your exist ing staff plus grove. >> it will accommodate, yes t. will at this time it will not accommodate all of our staff we had originally presented was you know two 440 turk and ninth street it would have accommodated our staff and growth and it will accommodate our staff all of our staff and plus some growth but not staff not civil service staff who are currently working with the hot team and we're still arguing to need to find another location in order to place the hot team and we looked at possibly doing that on the first floor of 440 but it's not large enough to make that possible and to be able to at least have a welcome welcoming lobby for those who are going to come in and look

for services. >> how many would this accommodate? >> where are you now? >> how many staff do we have? >> where are we locked? >> so we're currently located at 50 ivy street facility on mission street at 101 grove street at 1360 mission street and 1650 mission street. >> and you will vacating these places? >> yes. >> all except for 50 i.v. so when we're able to make the move we will be in 50 i.v. and then at 440 turks so we'll be in two locations. >> that's good to know. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> any public comments on this item come on up you have two minutes. >> hi. >> my name is and i work for the housing clinic we oversee three programs i oversee three

programs which is a thorough residents in the tender loin and latino families and code enforcement and we came to know about this going back on history threw a that's what the department was proposing and there was a lot of community as to there was no community in the process it would not fly in any other neighborhood this way so there was processes but i have to disagree with the department that the final plans the concrete final plans were not put out to the community and i actually gained a lot more information coming to this meeting i would not have known about this meeting if the department wouldn't have e-mailed me and my supervisor about coming to this meeting and i'm not sure to be honest with you the community's little frustrated about the transparency as to what real re is going on we would like to the last communication that we

have was october 8th i think or eighth where we got an e-mail from emily basically saying that we are scaling back 80% of the space for office and 20% would be for clients services and we're still filling out the client services and i know about the working group that would come out with a survey to figure out gnaw didn't happen so i'm asking for continuance because i think the community needs to hear about what was presented today and i hear that from the laundry facilities will be for the program but it's not what was told to me when i asked so it would be that program and summary the program did not sure yet about difference services so i think what i would appreciate is this particular information was held out to the community before coming here so i'm asking for continuance, thank you. >> thank you, very much.

>> good afternoon supervisors, jim, chamber of commerce we strongly support this resolution and declaration of emergency to move this project along and every city department that deals with a constituency has to have a facility which that constituency can access that and that's what we're talking about here there's a new department consolidated moving 100 staffers in to a location we need this access and we need drop-in centers and other access points for other populations and this department serves and this is one small step towards putting this department together giving some access to its population that seeks its services at that location and strongly urge you to approve this and move it on tomorrow to the full board, thank you. >> hello i'm kelly cutler with the coalition on homelessness and we're located right next door and we are in support of

this and we would like to see more access to other services because folks needed a shower and a place to sit down and also to connect 20 services and i did attend the multiple community meetings, a lot of community meetings there and honestly just like every community meeting you have in each of your districts and every district all around, there's always push back. that's just something that we're constantly dealing with. but there's a huge need in our community and in the tenderloin in that area. my concern is around what is going on with policing around there but. >> any other public comments on this item. see none. any comments. supervisor safai. >> thank you, chair. i just want to say it sounds

like there's almost unanimous support for this but there's still confusion as to exactly how the 20% of the building that's going to be used as showers, laundry, i heard the presentation today about outward homeward bound program that makes sense to me it sounds like you've heard consistently that some people don't want it as a drop-in center and some people want it as expanded services but i guess, i would feel more comfortable support north item today if there was someway that we could then have your agency come back and give us a clear detailed plan maybe with some additional conversations on the communities so there's more support or there's more input and there might not be union nam tee on the issue but it sounds like the plan is not still 100% concrete and i am very happy having started my career in san

francisco that you will have your office there at that location and i think it's a great location to have office space it will do wonders to bring more bodies and interested parties to that area and i spent almost more than half of my career in san francisco almost 20 years eight plus more than half of my career at that corner at the corner of turke and hide within one block so i know it better than any other block in san francisco other than the one that i live on personally and so i think that it's great um be located there and i would appreciate the opportunity for your department to come back with a very detailed plan exactly how that space is going to be used and the homeward bound program sounds like a great start but sounds like there's confusion of how it will be utilized. that would be my only comment. >> thank you. i am not sure if this general consensus yet on this and i'm

not sure exactly about what the plan is and i appreciate that you've had community out reach and what is really strange about this hearing today is for all the people that are so passionate i don't see anybody here that is almost telling me something in fact this was supposedly an emergency meeting to talk about emergency items for emergency issues so there was just wondering how broadly this is put out to the public. i'm uncomfortable and i'm willing to do a continuance on this and which may then delay it a week or two or actually it doesn't matter it would be delayed until next year.

i'm willing -- i haven't heard, this happened so quickly as you know this was like it was called for emergency on friday afternoon and i'd like to reared than continue tractor-trailer item i'd like to send it out of committee with no recommendation so we can move forward and as of tomorrow we can look at for the rest of the colleagues to weigh in on this and maybe i would feel more comfortable giving 24 hours to give feedback from the community and stay her motion.

>> i move to send this to the full board without recommendation. >> as committee report. >> yes for tomorrow. >> ok. >> motion passes. thank you. mad amount clerk anything else. >> clerk: nothing further. >> meeting adjourned.

prirjs are frirnlsz we're in an aging facility the total project cost forever ever commercial is $65 million the funding was brought by a vote of go bond approved by the voters and the locations is in the neighborhood the awarded contract in 2013 and the i'm the executive director we broke ground in november 2015 and that started with the demolition of existing facility we moved into the foundation and january so pile foundation and then with second construction of the new facility. >> one of the ways that we keep our project on time on budget and we're having quality to have regular meeting and the variety of meetings with

construction process meeting as well as cost of control meeting and i'm a project manager for public works the office of chief commercial we want walk the project site when we sign up and also with a contractor insinuates for a change over we need to verify what or what was instead of. >> the building is 42 feet tall so it is two stories and 46 thousand square feet roughly we're that's a great question to be on time and budget have the roof complete a the exterior moving with the site work. >> and as you can see we've got a lot of the interior finishes installed. >> in an effort of an differentiate the facility that designed to work for 72 hours. >> not taking into account there was a lot of structural updates made into this building

not seen in other construction throughout san francisco or other barriers we have friday morning examiners from 8 to one public comment monday to friday because of air circulation we literally have to shut the doors and so the autopsy is done without staffing being able to come and go or exit the space and literally lock down the autopsy in the new facility we have bio build one door opens and closed behind you you can gown up and go through a second seizures of doors that has its own independent air supply and now in the exterior opt space having that middle space have greater flexibility of staff as they move in and out of the

area. >> in the current facility investigative unit has small tiny, tiny place in the area of the new facility is almost doubled in all divisions from the current facility and the new facility. >> the planning we have here gives them the opportunity to have the pool needs to complete theirs jobs in a much more streamlined fashion. >> we're looking forward to have secured parking to minimize the egress of you know visiting and the members of the public but really to minimize the investigators remaining remains from our advancing and so the facility. >> we have a new visitors area we're building that is a little bit more friendly to families. >> one thing you may notice in the room no windows there is no

natural light not good for most autopsy but in the new facility at new hall we made that an objective they want to insure we were able to look up in the middle of exam and see the sky and see natural lights. >> that's one of the things the architect did to draw in as much light as possible. >> we have staff here onsite we insure the design of the new design enables the investigators and other investigators skiefksz to consider to house on site this meant we needed to design and plan for locker room facilities and shower rooms the ability to sleep. >> third of the construction going into the building has been

by contributions of small businesses. >> part of the project is also inclusive to the sidewalk have all new sidewalks and new curve cuts and landscaping around the building we'll have a syrup in front of the building and rain guardian. >> the medical examiner's office has been a several if in their contributions of the understanding the exception and needs. >> it's a building that the chief medical examiner has been looking forward to quite a few of the. >> it is extremely valuable contribution to the, neighborhood address san francisco as a whole. >> the building will allow is to have greater very much and serve the city and county of san serve the city and county of san

>> we're going to commissioners that spoke about this and having been on this commission. you know, for the officers only to view their own cameras and footage for the integrity of the investigation so when they do go forward, they have what they've seen and perceived and what they write is not what others have perceived. that comes in later on when they put together police reports. i see what the chief has bought forward and it looks effective and in line with our legislative intent as a commission for those of us on the commission at the

time we voted for this policy. >> thank you. thank you chief. i have a couple of comments and questions. on page 3, the failure to activate -- may subject a member to administrative investigation. in my view, if you have not complied with the rules above, why wouldn't it generate and admit an administrative investigation each time. it gives discretion and i don't know what it ends up looking like. so i would recommend that that word be sal and not me. >> there are situations where is circumstances, it can be understandable that the body- worn camera is not activated. when you raise a good point, if

there's an investigation on every one it would be veted out as well. i see them, i've been here one time where it's actually situation where an officer's life was in danger. they did not activate immediately but they activated as soon as it was practical. some of the things are obvious right away. others, mirror an investigation to vet through. that's where the may came in. your point is well taken. >> even a quick investigation will reveal that was a justified failure. >> on page 4, i guess i don't understand that paragraph. it's been rewritten. it says an officer shall be required to provide a statement before he or she reviews her own recording. this excludes other recordings. it sounds as if the officer gets to review other recordings, not his or her own. i don't think that was the intent. aim missing it? >> interview: the intent was the

officer only views his or her own. i think the language would be cleaned up too. >> interview: shall be provided an initial statement before he or she reviews his or her own recording. >> right. >> but it excludes other recordings. it sounds like you can review someone else's. >> well taken. >> do you have a language suggestion? >> it sounds like the intent would be you can't reveal any records. >> do you have a suggestion? >> i would exclude that last sentence. >> how does it sound without the last sentence? read it, bob? >> go ahead. we can do without the last sentence. >> following any in-depth

custody they will provide an initial statement before he or she reviews his or her own recording. >> well i guess it should say before he or she reviews any recording. isn't that the intent? >> intent his or her own. it's just to exclude the the last sentence. it makes sense to me. >> interview: the intent is the person cannot review the recording. >> if we're together and you are charged, you can review my record something. >> no. you can only review your own. >> all right. >> that was set in the first place. >> it's not what it says. i don't have any suggested language, i just see the issue. >> let's see if we can grab something. >> how about just excludes view ing other members? >> also excludes?

>> yes. >> to provide an initial statement for he or she reviews his or her. this excludes other members -- >> this excludes viewing other officers -- other members. >> yes. >> will that satisfy bob? this also excludes viewing other members b.w.c. video? >> that sounds right. as long as the intent is the person gives a statement before he or she reviews any recording? >> except for his or her own. >> all right. >> did you get that? >> yes, i'm going to suggest

this is for purchasing of meet and confirm. as long as the intent of what the commission's desire is, this will have to come back. any wordings could be worked out >> let's make sure it's something you've included as commission commissioner hersch points out so when it goes it's clear. >> yep. >> ok. >> so i have two issues. i'm really glad you brought this forward, but i might be the only one that does not understand 2 and 3 on page 2. prong 2, actually. members shall not utilize the body-worn camera mute function. the department reserves the right to disable the mute function. i'm not following that. they can't utilize it? >> they shouldn't use the mute button. the department can deactivate the mute button so no one can use or can't use it.

>> i guess i didn't understand. by disabled i thought it meant -- i thought it meant taking it away. deleteing it. you are saying disabling it. >> the department can stop it from being used in anyway. >> it's still confusing to me. we'll have to explain it to me more. when you say disable, do you mean so they cannot mute it? >> correct. so -- >> they can't use it. >> there's been issues that have arisen with the mute function. so, the spirit here and the intent is to explain or direct officers not tuesday the mute function, and give the department the ability to disable the function together. the function can go disabled. this change in policy, request to change gives it the ability to do it without going back to

meet and confirm process. >> when you say disabled, the department decided officers can't mute it, you will fix it so they can't mute it? >> correct. >> and i want to understand that i'm glad you brought this up, at least two if not more, news items have come about where the officers haven't turned on the body-worn cameras until the end or captured the last seconds. is there anyway to remedy that? so if you make changes to the significant policy? >> that was the reinforcement on page 3 that we have to follow the policy. >> yeah. there's no way to -- >> to be disciplined. >> through policy, we just have to adhere to our policy. >> are we keeping stock whether they are turning it on at last minute. the threat of discipline, i don't know, if it's enough if you have too many -- if you have a lot of officers doing this or it turns out the stats show a lot of officers are doing this, will you revisit this? it's a real significant issue?

>> if we can't come back and re visit it, we are looking at actually inspecting the use of our body-worn cameras so we can revisit it. >> that can be part of the over all meeting with the larger working group. >> commissioners, any other comments? public comments? i'm sorry. >> very good. >> public comments. >> this is a statement. i am ace washington. this is for you commissioner. >> i won't allow you to do that. >> it's documented. i'm here representing people that look like me, you, you, you , the african american community. please, don't -- we from the same hood. you are a lawyer. i'm up here with my rights.

motion. i move that we accept the changes made to the general order 10.11. >> would you amend that to say pending? the meet and confirm process? >> the meet and confirm process. >> with the police officer association. >> ok. >> i would second that. >> ok. >> do i need a hand vote? >> clarification, are we voting with the changes? >> right. >> yes. >> do i need -- ok, all in favor >> aye. >> any opposed? >> thank you. >> next comment. >> item 1 reports to the commission discussion. 1a report on recent police department activities including major events and weekly crime trends and announcements to include updates on staffing, current staffing relevance and

overtime. recommendations -- sorry. chapter 96, status update on data analysis agreements. >> good evening, chief. >> good evening, again commissioners. >> thank you. i'll be brief from our report. i'm going to start off with our crime trends and statistics. i'll start off with homicides, because that's of course the most devastating crime that we face. mid year, when i was reporting crime trends, we were up significantly in homicides. up 20%. and we ended the year actually below where we ended in 2016, which i think is a significant accomplishment, both for the department and the community. there was a lot of team work doing that. so we ended the year with 56 homicides, as compared to 58 year to date in 2016. given where we were in august, going in to september, that is significant. we spent i think almost the last two months of the year, we did not have a homicide and it took

a lot of work to do that. i know luck is part of it, but i think the work that went in to this and with the community and the stakeholders really made a difference. so year to date, we are zero homicides, this time last year we had three. so hopefully we'll continue to work hard, not hopefully, we will continue to work hard and we hope this trend will continue i think that's a significant accomplishment. our shootings year to date, end of year 2016, we ended up with two below last year. so slight decrease in the actual shooting incidents. which again, any decrease in shootings is a good decrease. so we started out this week, the first week of the year, we had six shootings which was an increase over this time last year. again, we'll continue to plug away at it and work with whoever we need to work with to make sure that we keep our streets

safe. firearms, we ended up with a thousand and 23 firearm seizures for the year which is helping us in reducing violent crimes. our officers are trying to get guns off the streets and out of the hands of people who wish to use them illegally. 1,023 firearms were seized. there's been a lot said about our priority crime. we know we have a pervasive and challenging problem in address ing property crime in our city. violent crime does play into that. when we have violent crime it's difficult to focus on crime. the way we ended the year, gave us the ability to do some things with property crime that we would not otherwise had the ability to do. if we were still grappleing with that rapid increase in homicides moving forward, we have made some significant structural changes to betterre
