but to put the item back on the agenda. item djo5.02. >> what is our availability look like that when we'll have most commissioners available? >> if i can jump in, i think we need to have somebody from d.h.r. here as well. somebody who is negotiating 5.0. >> but we can have -- we can't have it in open session. there are two things. one is to bring back, to put back on the agenda a vote for dgo5.02. as was originally put on the agenda, but we did not accept it as such. and the second piece it sound to me like commissioner hirsch wants to have some clarification from the city attorney to the meet and confer process. >> well, it has to be around a

d.g.o.. it can't be a general discussion about legal advice. it is focused on d.g.o. >> if i may interject, deputy city attorney, is we put this on for closed session and advice of counsel from the city attorney's office and if necessary, move to the next step. >> justice as a reminder for items to be in closed session, there has to be a specific authorization by the public meetings act. and so for those, it is just as a reminder, it is real estate negotiations, there isn't one in general for attorney-client privilege legal advice. it has to fit into something specific. if you are talking about a specific d.g.o. and the idea is to give direction to your negotiator, then you can have a closed session about that in particular. i feel a little off and not entirely sure what the commissioner -- i heard you want

to have a discussion about city attorney advice. and i am kind of confused to exactly what it is. >> well, based on the letter, it sound like we have the choice -- several choices, but the one primarily is to put it back on the agenda, to vote again on it, and with the language that was required and we wanted to have a specific questions about the meet and confer process and negotiations. we can have that in a closed session. >> specifically for to put the item d.g.o.5.02, i can work with commission staff to put that back on to the agenda. to have that give direction to your d.h.r. representative who are engaging in the meeting and confer process, in closed session to address specifically your questions and. and that would have to be done in open session.

>> i think the commission has voiced our two needs. and you have explained to us the two vehicle of getting there. we don't need to put it on the agenda tonight with a set date. we could do that through the commission president and vice president today, tomorrow, or another day. i think we need to get that on calendar as soon as reasonably possible. great. any other announcements, commissioners? >> i will be out of town next week. won't be here on the 11th. >> let's coordinate our schedules for that. >> the third meeting of the month. >> okay. >> can i add for 3d, for the general public, the next meeting for the police commission will be held on wednesday, april 11, here at city hall, room 400 at 5:30 p.m. >> great. now time for public comment with reference to line items 3a, b, c, or d. any public comment with reference to these three line items? hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call the next item. >> line four, discussion and possible action to i a prove the

sale of patrol special beat 47 from antoinette candido and beat 3 to patrol special officer alan byard and take other action. >> for the record, i am recused from this matter and turn the gavel over to former president dr. joseph marshall to handle this matter. i'll step out of the room. >> back in the saddle. >> i'm prepared. >> okay. >> i have line item 4 been called yet? did he call it yet? yes. okay. involves the sale of -- let me just read this. the three beats. okay. so proceed. >> good evening, commissioners. commissioner scott. before we start, there are two

beats that were put together and i would like to have them separated so we're going to vote on each one separately. >> that is fine. >> if we could start with beat 47. and the northern district and the wife of a former patrol special who has since passed away in 2013 wishes to sell the beat. >> speak into the mic. >> we can barely hear you. >> a wishes to spell the beat to special patrol byard and the paper work was submitted to you. in there is any questions? >> looks of kay to me. -- looks of kay to me. >> i have looks okay to me. i have no questions. >> i'm not familiar with the process. this is the first time i have heard that a beat can be sold. >> we will have to have two separate motions. >> no, yoi don't have any questions at this point. >> okay. just a brief overline.

the city is broken up into particular beats that were purchased by patrol specials and they retain ownership of the beat until it is sold. they may or may not be part of the program. if they are not part of the program, they may not work the beat. so this particular beat, i have a map i can put up if you would like -- give you an idea. that particular beat hadn't been worked for some time, so patrol special byard went to is in the northern district. currently patrol special byard owns beat 96. so the beat adjoins that beat and he would have access to that beat. he doesn't have to travel across the city to make sthur his -- to

make sure his clients are afforded quick service from him. >> all right. i am seeing the sale price is $100 is what i am seeing. >> correct. >> just so the public knows. this is not a big money deal. >> and it all depend. this one is for $100. >> okay. >> i think you said the owner is deceased? >> the owner is deceased. so it would have gone to his wife, and as parts of probate and i have spoke within her on the phone and she is elderly and didn't attend this evening, but i spoke to her and he wishes -- and the sale price is low because when patrol special byard came in in 1977, he worked for her husband, and they had a good relationship, and that is why the price is kind of low. that was when i spoke with her, that was why it was so low. >> so just reading this was on calendar earlier and things to be taken care of in the meantime, and all those things have been dealt with? >> yes, they have.

>> all right. so are we moving to approve the sale here tonight? >> correct. >> i need a motion. >> move to approve the sale. >> i second. >> all in favor? >> aye. it's yours. thank you. >> and then the next beat is also in the northern district. >> do you want to read -- did we solve that item yet? >> they are under two separate items. >> there we go. >> is beat 83. and it is -- >> got it. >> and this beat, the beat owner is a former patrol special delores lovett-menge and the sale price is $20,000 for this beat. and he's completed all the paper work as with the last beat.

i assume they were not friend. that is why it is so high. >> i'm sorry? >> i guess they were not friends. >> this is more of a regular price. and on the last beat to give you an idea, it sold for $100,000. >> wow. >> any discussion? i move to approve this item. >> i second that. >> all in favor? >> aye. >> sale is approved. >> thank you. >> thank you. congratulations. does we come back for item five or is he also out for this item? >> i think he was only out for item four. >> we'll git him back. wherever he is.

the discussion and possible action and with the disciplinary and case al-wiad and 20-130 # an or take other action in necessary action. >> thank you. city council city council lar, please counselar, please state your appearance. >> good evening, officer karla brown.

>> commissioner, this is a disciplinary matter assigned to me. we had a meeting and reached a tentative resolution patrol spesh officers don't have the same rights as peace officers and the disciplinary matters an dispositions are held publicly in front of the police commission. we are the regulating body. at this point, i will ask the prosecuting agency to give us a breakdown of the disposition and where we stand. >> thank you, commissioner. and thank you for your assistance with these cases. we have finally come to the conclusion of the majority of these, so i appreciate your help. officer calhoun wiley in case

aw awa aw2013-0305. one was for a violation of working in beat 55 which is actually owned by his daughter and not owned by him. he had owned it in years prior, but it had been transferred to her and not transferred back. in the second specification, he was charged with failure to provide an accurate client list when requested to do so by the san francisco police department. officer carla brown supervises the cases and making sure the rules are being followen followe are met on a few occasions to discuss the stipulated edition disposition proposal all the par the is are in agreement that the patrol special officer would admit the allegations and specifications one and two as part to have stipulated

agreement, revocation of his appointment would be held in advance for a term of three years. and in addition to that, he is going to be ordered by the commission to abide by all of the rules and regulations for patrol special officers and assistants and including specifically adhering to any verbal, written, email, telephonic messages sent by officer brown or any other sworn uniform member of the san francisco police department as it relates to his duties a z a patrol special officer. in addition to that, he has agreed to pay a fine of $250 on specification one and $250 on specification two and that donation will be made to the bride memorial church which is here in san francisco of which many are familiar with. and i believe that all parties

are in agreement with this stipulated agreement. i have the signed, executed agreement from officer -- patrol special officer wiley, and if you have any questions. >> thank you. mr. bonner? >> yes. i believe the attorney has accurately stated our agreement and we have signed the agreement. >> members of the commission, during the meeting i explained to officer wiley that he does have to respond when officer brown contacts him regarding the issues. and how many years have you served this city as patrol special officer? >> tell the commission how many. come up to the mic. >> how many years, sir? >> over year. use the mic, sir. >> talk into the mic right there. >> i have 46 years on the street. >> 46 years. >> and patrol special wiley is

loved in the bayview and managed the beat out there for many years. we reached this agreement to give him another chance and so long as he goes along with what officer brown and her sergeant who is in the back of the room, i think this is a fair disposition. we chose to dedonation to go to glide. we can't suspend him for a period of time, so there is a lot of work and compliance and i suggest that you would agree to accept this disposition. >> my only question, is we have had issued with patrols specials adhering to the rules, so everything is in order now. and you are confident that -- >> i am confident because we have officer brown on top of this. everything is in order. guarantee it. >> commissioner, any other further questions? >> madam city attorney. >> before any vote on this item, you need to open it for public comment and i am apologize, but i failed to note that before the

last vote. we would need to redo that vote on approving the sales of those specials. >> is there any public comment regarding this disposition with patrol special calvin wiley? hearing none, public comment is closed. >> do i have a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> thank you, patrol special wiley. and the copy of the signed document is being presented to police commission secretary killshaw for the san francisco police department. i think i am going to return to the back of the ante room, and dr. marshall again to deal with the issue on public comment regarding the last line item.

>> as we call it again? >> where is it? >> item d. item four actually. >> so madam city attorney, if i can ask you -- >> we just need to take public comment for the motion to sell the beat before and then we'll take the vote again. >> was there any public comment on item number four? hearing none, the motion passes. >> we have to take the vote again. >> so for the first sale, for the first -- what number was the first beat again? >> 93, right?

>> >> i was taking public comment on both items at the same time, but we have to separate them. >> public comment on the sale of beat 47, we'll take that separately? any public comment on that? hearing none. it is approved. any public comment on the sale of beat 83? hearing none. >> we have to take the vote again. >> and i need you to retake the vote on each sale. >> okay. do we have to take the motion again also? >> correct. >> i move to approve the sale on 47. >> second. >> all in favor? aye. and 83. >> i move to approve the sale on 83. >> second. >> all in favor? aye. it is official. correct. thank you.

>> item 6, general public comment. the public is welcome to address the commission regarding items that do not appear on the agenda but are within the subject matter jurisdiction of the commission. speakers shall address the remarks to the commission as a whole and not to individual commissioners or department or d.p.a. personnel,. under police commission rules of order, neither police nor d.p.a. personnel, nor commissioner are required to respond to questions presented by the public, but may provide a brief response. individual commissioners and police and d.p.a. personnel should refrain, however, from entering into any debates or discussion with speakers during public comment. >> thank you very much.

general public comment. welcome back. >> thank you for letting me speak. i came to talk about the taser issue specifically. i know there's been several meetings already. and i have come because i believe we still have an opportunity to move the pendulum in our society from that of collective fear to that of collective bravery. i think one of the ways to do this, although it may only be a drop in the bucket is to spend money where it matters. i don't believe putting more money into weapons is going to help us achieve that goal. i think we need to spend our money on de-escalation, on conflict resolution, on many other things but not on more weapons.

i feel that the name of the taser ballot measure which is, i believe, the safer policing initiative, is a lie. i don't see how carrying more weapons makes anyone safer. i don't think it's too late to reverse the ed situation. and we're all here. the only thing holding us up is ourselves. i don't think it's too late to reers is the decision and i think it should be left off the ballot. i think whatever you can do as a commission to keep this measure off the ballot would be greatly appreciated and in the best interest of our community. thank you. >> thank you very much. >> thank you.

>> next speaker, please. >> good evening, commissioners. i am a legislative aide to supervisor cohen here on behalf of the office of supervisor cohen. there is a very important item that i will be discussing today and i look forward to relaying that information back to the supervisor and the board of supervisors and supervisor cohen. >> thank you so much. thank you for coming. >> miss brown? good evening, miss brown. . >> and i am here -- good evening, everyone. i am a little tired today. but i am here to talk about my son who was murdered august 14, 2006. his birthday is in a couple of days. april 6, and i'm not feeling all

good morning and welcome to the community and assessment services center. today's event focuses on our efforts specific to the firearm compliance and safety initiative. this initiative is a collaborative efficient toen sure the -- effort to ensure the removal of guns from our communities. the adult probation department plays a critical role in the process as outlined in new responsibilities defined in proposition 63.

the safety for all act. these new responsibilities coupled with the sheriffs department work in recovering a firearm from restrained persons is at the very core of the work we do to promote public safety. many thanks to those individuals who have joined us this morning and their continued support to keep our communities safe from gun violence. specifically, mayor mark farrell, supervisor stefani, supervisor sheehy, chief freeno representing sheriff hennessey. chief bill scott from the san francisco police department. beverly upton and the domestic violence consortium. it is truly my distinct privilege to introduce mayor mark farrell, a long time

advocate for gun control and safety. as district 2 supervisor, mr. farrell introduced anti-gun ordinance to 2015 which was subsequently approved by the board of supervisors. this gun control package was intended to fill gaps that existed in federal, state and local oversight of firearm dealers and ammunition sales. this included requiring the video taping of all gun and ammunition sales within san francisco and required the regular storage and electronic transmission of ammunition sales data to the san francisco police department. as district 2 supervisor, mr. farrell introduced a safe gun storage and trigger lock law apooreded by -- approved by the board of supervisors in 2016. this mandated that all be kept in a locked container or be disabled by a trigger lock.

as district 2 supervisor, mr. farrell announced his intention to introduce a gun restriction law after the krissy field rally in 2017. as you recall, an alt-right group, requested a permit to hold a rally. there was a city-wide response to prevent the rally from becoming violent against the anti-immigrant national rhetoric. ultimately, the group withdrew from holding the rally, citing safety concerns for their own members. as you can see, our mayor of san francisco has been a true advocate of gun safety and gun control. please join me in welcoming mayor mark farrell. [applause] >> thank you. thank you, chief fletcher. i want to thank you for your hard work. i want to thank the police department, chief, thank you for

being here, the sheriffs department and supervisor stefani and sheehy, who have been leaders and beverly upton and doctor. it's an honor to be here. recent events across the country unfortunately have brought gun reform and control questions back to the forefront. we did not learn from columbine and sandy hook and we're faced with another mass shooting in one of our schools in the parkland shooting in florida just a couple of weeks ago. as congress continues to stick its head in the sand on the issue, it is up to state and local governments to counteract and to do everything we can locally to protect the sanctity of life for our residents. i was honored last week to join the walkout with the school along with supervisor sheehy, which is in district 8. with the high school students there. at 10:00 a.m. i know schools across the

country and right across the entire san francisco were participating in the walkouts. very proud of our students and local leaders here in san francisco for all of the efforts they did in terms of walking out and demonstrating their own first amendment rights, but also the voice of the next generation. this is a fight that doesn't end today or tomorrow. this is going to be the next generation of americans that will carry this issue forward and make a difference in the country. so inspiring to be there at the high school last week, watching students in israel walk out of their classrooms, watching students in iceland walking out, in solidarity with the youth of the united states of america. we are not alone in this fight. for once, last week, instead of fighting against d.c. which we do constantly in san francisco, we were fighting with generations of young children across the entire globe. it was incredibly inspirational.

unfortunately, the nra continues however to dominate politics in washington d.c. and as chief fletcher kindly mentioned, as a supervisor, thanks to the leadership and producing of my legislative aid, now supervisor catherine stefani, we worked on a number of gun control laws in san francisco during my time. chief among them, a law that then forced the last gun store in san francisco to leave our city limits and to shut down. as i was trending on twitter with the nra because of all the hatred they were spewing toward us in san francisco, toward me personally as a legislator, we told people in the community in san francisco, we would rather see a preschool or grocery store, as opposed to a gun store. that's what we need more of in san francisco. very proud to have seen that go through. and then to see

lieutenant-governor newsom and his efforts with prop 63. huge credit to lieutenant-governor for his efforts and bold leadership on so many issues here a san francisco and across the state. specifically around gun control. chief among the parts of prop 63 and what we're here today to talk about and announce, is the ability for local law enforcement personnel, for our sheriff's department to confiscate for guns. we want less guns. we will never pander to the nra here in san francisco. guns do not belong on our streets in san francisco. and i am proud to be here today along with chief fletcher because since prop 63 was enaced

on january 1 of this year, our adult probation department has done heroic efforts and their case load has skyrocketed through the roof in the ability to confiscate firearms from homes here in san francisco. firearms we do not want to appear on our streets. we do not want them in the hands of san francisco residents. because of the work they've been doing, and because of what we are seeing into the future, today we're announcing that we're funding in this upcoming budget, close to $1 million of new funding for the probation department alone to make sure they have the staffing they need. 500 will be hired, so they have the staffing they need. because these people are going to be working full-time to get the guns off the streets of san francisco, i cannot think of a better priority for the budget. i want to thank everyone for being here today. i want to thank chief fletcher

for her leadership on this issue. this is something that everyone behind me supports. this is something the entire san francisco supports and as mayor of san francisco, this is something i will never forget and we will always prioritize in our city government. thank you, everybody. [applause] >> thank you, mayor farrell. it is a tremendous amount of dedication and support you have committed to this effort. and we thank you very much and on behalf of the residents of san francisco, i know each of them feels safer with having you committed to such an effort. thank you. it is now my pleasure to introduce supervisor catherine stefani, supervisor is ardent advocate for gun control. supervisor stefani is familiar with district 2 and all of their concerns as she worked as an

aide to both micayla, and now mayor farrell for nine years when they each serveds the district 2 supervisor. in february 2018, supervisor stefani. join me in welcoming supervisor stefani. >> thank you. first i want to thank mayor farrell for committing to the funding to make sure we comply with proposition 63 passed in 2016. a clear mandate from california voters that they wanted to keep weapons out of the hands of felons. and to make sure that after they're convicted, their weapons are actually confiscated. it is not by sent that this --

accident that this proposition passed. as a gun violence activist for two decades, i have seen support for commonsense gun support continue to grow as we're inundated with devastating stories and gruesome scenes of gun violence every day in this country. more than 90 americans are shot and killed and hundreds more injured every single day in america. our gun homicide rate is 25 times higher than that of other developed nations making this a uniquely american crisis. i also want to mention in light of the fact that we're celebrating women's history month, the board of supervisors today, that gun violence disproportionately affects women who are 16 times more likely to be shot and killed in america than peer nations. 50 women are shot to death in a

month by current or former partner. 4.4 million american women have been threatened with guns and guns are weapon of choice in domestic violence murders. women are the victims of mass shootings. as a mother and i know i speak for millions of other mothers, we are tired of sending our children to school to participate in lockdown drills, preparing for mass shootings and wondering if you're children's school could be next. there was a school shooting today at a high school in maryland. one is dead. one is in critical condition. a woman. and another has serious injuries. it is time to stop this madness and i praise the students who walked out last week. i went into the crowd and told them, thank you, you are the next generation. you're going to help us solve this. i was so moved last week by

their activism. i know they're going to be the force that helps change and turn the tide on this horrible epidemic in our country. proposition 63 will make california the first state in the nation to require all prohibited criminal offenders to provide proof that they sold or transferred their firearms after their conviction. i want to really thank lieutenant-governor newsom for everything he did to make sure the proposition passed. i would also like to thank chief fletcher for doing everything you can, beginning january 1, to make sure your team and san francisco is following the law and removing illegal guns from dangerous individuals. i also want to thank the efforts of the department of the status of women and our family council led by beverly upton, for their important work. and chief scott with the chair,

we cannot do this work without all our partners. i am so proud to join the mayor today and the colleagues up here in supporting additional funding to make sure that san francisco is removing guns from violent offenders and following the letter of the law. thank you. [applause] >> thank you, supervisor stefani. we're pleased to have with us today, supervisor jeff shery. he was appointed by mayor lee in 2017 and serveses as the chair of the public safety and neighborhood services committee. 20 years ago, mr. sheehy helped create and defend san francisco's historic equal benefits ordinance. making san francisco the first city in the country to require employers with city contracts to offer equal benefits to the domestic partners of their employees. supervisor sheehy recently

declared support for the march 20, 2018, march for our lives, where commonsense gun reform and commended the students in san francisco and around the nation for leading a movement to demand commonsense gun laws and school safety measures. please help me welcome supervisor sheehy to the podium. [applause] >> thank you, chief. you know, the movement by the kids has really been inspiring. my 13-year-old daughter at her middle school, public middle school here, her whole class, whole school participated. to see this next generation take the baton and show leadership in fighting against the scourge of guns is something that i am so proud to see. what i also find very interesting is having watched the kids from florida, they're

insistent on not being coopted by politicians like myself and insistent on driving the movement themselves for the nation. i'm particularly focussed on this day, on the issue of domestic violence. i actually -- i think maybe worked in 850 brian. i worked for the district attorney as a victim advocate for victims of domestic violence. i think in almost no other setting is it more important to get weapons out of hands of the people who are committing the crimes. i know from my experience that the vulnerability of women, the intense fight to escape the power and control of the men who are abusing them, is a huge challenge. and the irrationality that surrounds the perpetrators,

they're focus on maintaining power and control, even to the point of killing their victims, killing the family of their victims. i think -- it's one of the most dangerous situations i believe for a police officer to be put into, walking into a domestic violence situation. it disproportionate number of murders happen to victims of domestic violence. and so i really want to salute the effort to get the funding to make sure that no guns remain in the hands of people who commit domestic violence. so again, i want to thank the city for the initiative. thank you, mayor, for your leadership and it's an honor to be here. thank you. [applause] >> thank you very much for your support supervisor sheehy. it is my pleasure to introduce beverly upton. she serves as the executive director of san francisco's

domestic violence consortium. a 7-member panel of domestic violence organizations and their supporters committed to the effective delivery of services and public policy. ms. upton has actively supported individuals who have lost loved ones to domestic violence. through court hearings, and regularly attending community events to promote domestic violence awareness. ms. upton and the department on the status of women have worked with the sheriff's department and the probation department to identify those crossovers to collaborate to keep the guns off our streets. please join me in welcoming beverly upton. [applause] >> thank you, chief, thank you, mayor farrell, thank you to the doctor for her leadership and everybody who is with us today. i am also proud to be one of the

tri-chairs of san francisco's family violence council and it shows that domestic violence threats with weapons are up 50% in san francisco. we have to stop this trend and this will help us. this weekend alone, the thousand oaks mall shooting started with a domestic violence incident. the parkland shooter was set off by relationship that ended poorly. who knows what got the young man that shot today at his high school in delaware? but as supervisor sheehy reminds us, domestic violence is at the kernel of so many of these dangerous mass shootings and taking entire families out around the country. this weekend in brooklyn, a family was shot and killed. four members of a family.

including a one-year-old. there have been 15 calls of domestic violence to this household. the gun was still in the home. the prerp traitor of the domestic -- perpetrator of the domestic violence took out four of his family members. we have taken every effort in all of our careers to make sure this doesn't happen here in san francisco. we need to take the guns out of the hands. perhaps getting the gun out of the house in brooklyn would have saved lives. it's a first step, we have more work to do. we hope to see other programs this year, but it is a first step. it's a first step toward safety and healing and as chief karen said, safety for all. we're hopeful. i'm hopeful and i hope you're hopeful, too. thank you so much.

[applause] >> thank you, beverly, you are a champion for victim rights throughout the city and beyond and we appreciate your efforts. as stated over and over today, proposition 63 is a historic and unprecedented step forward for gun safety in california. this really is an effort to bring agencies together to ensure the safety of the residents of this jurisdiction. and we are certainly proud to be part of that. since the implementation of this mandate, the adult probation department has received 63 referrals for investigation. we see all kinds of people come through the department and people referred and it is critically important to work together to identify where

individuals have legal weapons and illegal weapons in their possession that are going to result in crimes and death. we support and applaud the support that we have from our board of supervisors and from our criminal justice agencies. each of them has been a viable partner in making this proposition a reality in terms of how we can implement and save lives. the adult probation department is pleased to partner in this process of removing guns from prohibited persons. we look forward to the collaboration with the sheriff department, police department, board and mayor farrell in making this a reality. we thank you for attending today to support the city's efforts in this initiative. we certainly at the close of this press conference will be open to questions. so again, thank you so much for being here and supporting the effort. and we look forward to the collaboration in the future. thank you.

parks, rock climbing wall in glen canyon is super cool. it was the first facility with a rock climbing wall. the book stores are treasures, charlie's corner is unique. >> charlie's corner is a children's book store but so much more, community space where care takers and children come together over storytelling, books, it's a gathering center. i am charlotte and we are at charlie's corner on the corner of castro and 24th. the type of books we carry at charlie's corner range from prenatal to young adult, 18. we have musical books, art books, all built around children of course. history, nonfiction, we have a

wonderful picture book section. >> i love going to charlie's corner, number one, because you can find a whole range of books. my kid loves to read books. >> i always envisioned a space like this, surrounded by children's books and storytelling. we offer storytelling four times a day. we do curate well, we do a lot of time reading, researching, beyond the story time, it's going back to picking out a book, helping someone find the perfect book, unwrapping it and sending it off. there are people from all over the world and that's what i find so exciting. you see that every day in our story times. it's literally a melting pot. >> more and more families come into the district, whether it's

the castro, strollers every where in the valley and tons and tons of kids in glen park now, with the canyon and a great library. >> i describe it as this village, i tell people i live in a town but i work in a village. >> one thing i really think is great about this district, it's a safe district, it's a clean district, it's great for kids, it's great for families and has a bit of wild life in it, too. >> i look forward to watching these kids in this neighborhood grow up and new kids come in and meeting new people from all over the world because that's what we're all about. ♪ ♪ >> i personally love the mega jobs. i think they're a lot of fun. i like being part of a build that is bigger than myself and outlast me and make a mark on a

landscape or industry. ♪ we do a lot of the big sexy jobs, the stacked towers, transit center, a lot of the note worthy projects. i'm second generation construction. my dad was in it and for me it just felt right. i was about 16 when i first started drafting home plans for people and working my way through college. in college i became a project engineer on the job, replacing others who were there previously and took over for them. the transit center project is about a million square feet. the entire floor is for commuter buses to come in and drop off, there will be five and a half

acre city park accessible to everyone. it has an amputheater and water marsh that will filter it through to use it for landscaping. bay area council is big here in the area, and they have a gender equity group. i love going to the workshops. it's where i met jessica. >> we hit it off, we were both in the same field and the only two women in the same. >> through that friendship did we discover that our projects are interrelated. >> the projects provide the power from san jose to san francisco and end in the trans bay terminal where amanda was in charge of construction. >> without her project basically

i have a fancy bus stop. she has headed up the women's network and i do, too. we have exchanged a lot of ideas on how to get groups to work together. it's been a good partnership for us. >> women can play leadership role in this field. >> i tell him that the schedule is behind, his work is crappy. he starts dropping f-bombs and i say if you're going to talk to me like that, the meeting is over. so these are the challenges that we face over and over again. the reality, okay, but it is getting better i think. >> it has been great to bond with other women in the field. we lack diversity and so we have to support each other and change the culture a bit so more women

see it as a great field that they can succeed in. >> what drew me in, i could use more of my mind than my body to get the work done. >> it's important for women to network with each other, especially in construction. the percentage of women and men in construction is so different. it's hard to feel a part of something and you feel alone. >> it's fun to play a leadership role in an important project, this is important for the transportation of the entire peninsula. >> to have that person -- of women coming into construction, returning to construction from family leave and creating the network of women that can rely on each other. >> women are the main source of income in your household. show of hands. >> people are very charmed with the idea of the reverse role, that there's a dad at home

instead of a mom. you won't have gender equity in the office until it's at home. >> whatever you do, be the best you can be. don't say i can't do it, you can excel and do whatever you want. just put your mind into it.
