i try to use my voice as intentionally as possible to suppo support, i think of my grandmother who had a positive attitude and looked at things positively. try to do that as well in my work and with my words to be an uplifting force for myself and others. think of entering the job force as a treasure hunt. you can only go to your next clue and more will be revealed. follow your instincts, listen to your gut, follow your heart, do what makes you happy and pragmatic and see where it takes you and get to the next place. trust if you want to do good in this world, thatmeeting

tord to order. can you please rise for the pledge of allegiance. [ pledge of allegiance ] >> president turman, i'd like to call roll. >> president turman: please do. [ roll call. ] >> clerk: commissioner turman, you have a quorum. also present with us today is the chief of police, william scott, and for the department of police accountability, miss sandra marian. >> president turman: okay. members of the public, welcome to the may 2nd, 2018 regular

meeting of the san francisco police commission. this evening, we have a long closed session calendar, so -- which is likely going to be very time-consuming, so due to the complexity and the length of closed session, public comment is going to be limited to two minutes. and with that, i'm going to turn it back over to secretary kilshaw for the first item. >> yes. thank you, secretary kilshaw, i'm going to interrupt the president of the commission tonight because this is a very special night, and it is a very hard night for some of us. tonight is president turman's last night on the commission, and he may not know this but tonight is a very special night for him. i have with me a proclamation

from the mayor of san francisco, and julius, he may not know it, but today is julius turman day in san francisco. [applause]. >> president turman: it would have been nice to know that at the beginning. >> well, you know, plenty of time left in the day. i'm going to read the proclamation. it's actually very appropriate. whereas the city and county of san francisco traditionally recognizes individuals who have made significant and remarkable contributions to the vitality of our city, and the dedicated and vital work of l. julius turman sincere rerepresenting the city of san francisco at its best. he has served the city and county of san francisco in various capacities, joining the police commission in 2011, stepping into the vice president, and then serving as the president of the body over

a year. president turman might run commission meeting with a pragmatism of suffers no fools demeanor, he has been witness to comments delivered as jives, poems, raps and beats, whereasture mass was instrumental in overseeing the police reform efforts, successfully revising several key policies, including use of force, body worn cameras, written communications and complaints against officers, ensuring the department operates the highest national standard, and whereas recruitment is often an arduous process, turman exercised his acute judgment of character, supporting chief william scott after a tremendously long and collaborative journey that included public input as well as filing key positions at the dpa and the commission office.

whereas according to the sometimes ungodly hours of the julius turman e-mail which we've all received, he doesn't sleep, ladies and gentlemen. he's been known to land in your box that seems to need no more than 45 minutes of sleep a night, which means that the remaining 23 hours and 15 minutes are split between his time at his firm and helping the sfpd reaches the highest pinnacle, making sure every person knows in the department how important his or her service is, and everybody feels safe and able to live their best san francisco life. therefore be it known that i mark e farrell do here by proclaim may 4, 2018 to be l.

julius turman day in san francisco. [applause]. >> and we're not done yet. we have some special guests here, too. so on behalf of the san francisco police commission, i'm not going to read this certificate of appreciation. this is to you, julius, for your hard work, and for everything you've done as a commissioner, and you know, i give this to you with great pride. you know, our friendship. i see former president susie loftus is here today. you know, in my career, i have served with some notable and incredibly successful people. on this commission, president loftus, president sparks. i've served in the department of justice with judge ryan, robert mueller. i served in the d.a.'s office with kamala harris, and you're there in my life as people who have defined who we are and who the city is. i have to tell you from the day

i first met you, i found you to be honest. the first day you meet someone, you go he's okay, or no he's a blankety-blank. you know, in a city that believes in a lot of identity politics, you are a michigan wolfe wolferine, a former u.s. assistant attorney out of michigan, a managing partner of a law firm. you are a family man, your whole family comes out to celebrate with you. you're a great person, and a great police commissioner. you're really going to be missed. you're a great commissioner, and on behalf of the commission, i'm going to miss you, buddy. i think former commission president loftus has a few words she'd like to add.

>> commissioners, good evening. i don't think this is the public comment section of the agenda, otherwise this would have been my first time to make public comment to the police commission. >> two minutes and you're out of here. >> your time is up. i wanted to give you that opportunity, president turman. it's so wonderful to see everybody, hello. president turman, i'm here for you. i haven't been back since i left the commission a year and a half ago, but i couldn't miss a chance to come back and honor what you've given to this city. i think it was former chief greg sur who used to remind us sometimes, you know, julius is a really fancy lawyer, and he would ask how much you actually get paid every hour. i think it's high up there. as a government lawyer, please don't tell me. i don't want to know. but over the seven-plus years you've been on this commission, the hours that you have spent in discipline hearings, in time when we've been in closed session struggling with some of the biggest issues this police

department has faced, you have been dedicated every single moment so what is best for this city, what is best for this department, and you have shined in your integrity, president turman. you make the decisions for the right reason, you care deeply about this city, and you have given a tremendous amount. it was an honor to serve with you, and thank you for the kindness and the partnership you showed me and you've shown all of your colleagues over the years because you've made things better, and the city is very grateful. thank you. [applause]. >> president turman: are we done now? >> i think we're done now. president turman wants to get back to the agenda, and i'll -- >> president turman: i was just going to say thank you to everyone, and i will come back during commission comments and make my comments, so thank you so much.

thanks so much. >> should we tell him now? we were going to save this, but you're invited to come back to every police commission and talk in public comment moving forward. >> president turman: thank you so much, but you know, be careful what you ask for. all right. madam secretary, we'll start with the first line item. >> line item one. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: commissioners, in your packet are the meeting minutes from those dates, march 14, april 4, april 11, and april 18, 2018. hopefully, you had a chance to peruse them. if you have any comments or revisions to them, please let us know. if there are none, then i will entertain the appropriate motion. >> move to accept.

>> second. >> president turman: all in favor? any opposed? thank you. those minutes are adopted. next item, secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: okay. chief, did you want to say anything further? >> nothing -- nothing further. >> president turman: okay. all right. so as i understand it, la casa de la madres is receiving this

from dignity health, and they've sent us $10,000 connected with participation in the bayview domestic violence high risk program. i'll entertain the appropriate motion. >> move to accept. >> second. >> all in favor cler. >> clerk: can we have public comment on that, commissioner? >> president turman: i'm sorry. public comment on that, item 2. seeing none, public comment is now closed. with public comment now closed, i will reopen the floor for the appropriate motion. >> i think you just call the question. >> president turman: okay. call the question. all in favor? any opposed. okay. that is now approved. secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read].

>> president turman: good evening, chief scott. >> good evening, commission, commissioner turman. i'll start out with crime trends for this week and start off with violent crime. homicides are down 28% from this time last year. we had 13 homicides as of the last reporting period. our shootings -- shooting victims, i'm sorry, are down 17% with a total of 39 year to date. homicides with firearms, we've only had six for the year, which is 54% below where we are last year, and our toting gun violence is down 25%. our total violent crimes, that includes all the part one violent crimes, we're down 36%, and part two violent crimes, we're down 14.55%.

auto blaerz are down 25%, which is equivalent to 2,000 less auto burglaries than last year, and all the strategies that we've put in place will continue, and hopefully, we can continue to push that down in the right direction. in terms of special events, items of interest, the department continues to provide opportunities throughout the city as part of our youth engagement efforts. our youth wilderness hikes is one of those things. this happened this past week, and that was at our lady of visitacion. students went to angel island, and st. john's students went to mou mount -- i'm having trouble pronouncing this. tamalpais. one event to report this week,

our peace parks is a continuing effort. i spoke about this in a prior meeting. it's a collaboration with rec and parks and the san francisco police department to give programming in some of the parks around the city in concentrated in various rec centers, so it's really gotten off to a good start. we believe this is part of the solution to address some of our violent crime, giving young people activities and programs in the parks, so that will continue. the next peace park event for this week is tomorrow -- actually, tomorrow through sunday from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. at hearst park in the ingleside district. and cinco de m 5 yo events occur this sunday at 10:00 a.m. it's an annual street events

celebration. we don't -- we anticipate we'll be adequately staffed for that event. and that concludes the report for this week. >> president turman: thank you. chief. any questions for the chief? hearing no questions, thank you, chief. let's go directly to the report by dpa director henderson. [agenda item read]. >> certainly. we are currently at 258 pending cases. last year this time, we were at 407 cases. i'll continue to -- every week to that similar update when we meet. we are still at 34 cases that are past the 270-day point. as a reminder, the majority of those cases are cases that are being tolled from other civil

or criminal pending charges. we are continuing to fill folks in the management positions so we can continue to process the contract that we had from the department of technology to take over our department and bring the department current, both with software and with hardware. our -- the majority of the investigation unit right now is at a training, one of the things that folks had asked me to do was to provide more training for our investigators, so i've sent the majority of the investigative team to aele training, which is use of force training, so they're in vegas right now, but i'm sure they're watching us on sfgov tv. this week, one of our lawyers who are here in the audience with us today, samra marian,

spoke on dr. maeshrshall regarding violence -- biased policing. those are my updates for this week. >> president turman: thank you, commissioner henderson. sorry -- director henderson. any comments, questions for director henderson? no? okay. hearing none, let's move to the next item, please. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: well, as commissioner mazzucco has said, today is my last day with the police commission, and this is -- the kind of work we do here, i guess you can never say, my work is done because

there is plenty to always do. but it's been seven years. i'm proud to have had the opportunity to serve with such talented, intelligent commissioners. out of all those list of priorities -- high ranking officials that commissioner mazzucco named in his remarks, i want to tell you that susie loftus, who was my friend and in whose foot steps i followed was probably the most instrument in helping me learn how to do this job. and this has been good work. i'm proud of the san francisco police department. i'm proud of its leadership and its chief. i'm proud of the department of police accountability.

every day, they strive to make transparency and public interface, and the work we do even more accessible to the city and county of san francisco. and the people you don't see behind -- the behind-the-scenes people, you don't see what they do every day, the people who serve on our commission staff, the people who advise us from the city attorney's office, and others who work hard to make sure we live up to the mandates of the charter of the city of san francisco. they deserve our highest respect and thank you. and thank you to the citizens of san francisco who have constantly given me reminders in many, many forms of what they believe san francisco should be, and i hope to some measure i have lived up to that

in the last seven years. thank you for the time, the attention, and the ability to serve. thank you. commissioners, and i'll say -- commissioner dejesus, i'm sorry. >> commissioner dejesus: so i also want to say thank you to commissioner turman. you've been refreshing, you've been plain speaking, you've been pretty blunt with us. it was refreshing to have that bluntness, but you also had understanding of complex and difficult issues that we faced. you know, you and commissioner loftus led us through some pretty trying times in the community and some trying community meetings, but i think most of that was successful, and we have come away with a body of policy for this department that really moved us into the 21st century, and we have to continue that march into the 21st century and best practices, and hopefully by doing this, we're going to be

changing the culture of the department. so i want to thank you for your dedication and long hours. as you said, people have no idea what goes on behind the scenes, so thank you so much. >> president turman: thank you. commissioner hirsch? >> commissioner hirsch: i also want to thank you. i've only been on the commission for a year, but you've been the president for that year. and i've learned a lot from you, actually, in the year. ands and as i told you, your bedside manner can be rough, but your heart and your mind is admirable, and i appreciate your leadership. >> president turman: okay. next line item, secretary kilshaw. [agenda item read]. >> president turman: anything anyone needs to schedule? >> no. >> not for me. >> commissioner?

>> president turman: go ahead. >> i was just going to mention for the members of the public, the commission will be dark next weekend. we do not have a quorum. >> president turman: and please check your website because we're not quite sure how long we will be dark. so there are some commission appointments that need to be filled to bring the quorum levels back up to speed, so please make sure you're checking our website. >> we should be clear with the public. it's not that the commissioners here are not willing to attend. we are willing to attend, but we will not have a quorum with commissioner turman leaving -- the president turman leaving. we have two commissioners pending reappointment, and we have two -- we have two openings, so we don't have a quorum. as soon as the board of supervisors moves on that, then hopefully, we can recon

[♪] >> hi i am a board of supervisors president london greed. i am running for a marriage because we are at a historic moment, an opportunity to change things. i want a chocolate -- truck with the challenges we are facing. housing tech homelessness and public safety. i want to create a city where everyone can succeed to, no matter who you are aware you come from. i was raised by my grandmother in public housing in the west end edition. my family didn't have much but i had a grandmother who loved me and a community that looked out for me. after graduating from facebook, i earned my undergraduate degree from uc davis and went on to

earn my masters in public a ministration from u.s. asked. i returned to the community and to the city that raised me. where i served as executive director of the african-american art and culture complex. i spent a decade focused on saving and changing the lives of young people. having lived here all my life cocked san francisco is more than just a city. it is a place of hope, innovation, and rich diversity. a city where a girl from public housing can one day become mayor. but the city we live in now is not the same san francisco i grew up in. we are in one of the greatest urban economic booms and a sentry. yet right at our doorsteps, thousands battle homelessness and mental illness. our families, teachers, and neighbors are moving out of the city due to the rising housing costs. san francisco it needs and deserves a mayor who will fight and work tirelessly to tackle the biggest crisis our residents are facing. a supervisor, when i heard we had empty public housing units

and families waiting for months and our shelters, i worked to find resources to renovate those units and moved 179 homeless families into permanent and safe housing. as mayor, i will take street behaviour seriously and invest in changes to our mental health system. i am working to reform our conservatorship laws which will allow a court to appoint a guardian for someone who cannot care for themselves. we need these changes to help those we see dying on our streets every day. our most vulnerable who struggle with chronic homelessness, addiction and severe mental illness. we also need to invest in more housing for those exiting homelessness, by building more affordable housing and investing in modular housing which can be built faster and cheaper with a local labour. i also believe in tough love. that if we have an alternative, a shelter bad, or a place in the navigation centre, we cannot continue to allow individuals to

sleep intense on our streets. as mayor i will invest in creating more alternatives but i will also, in long-term tent encampments in my first year in office. because living in our streets is not safe, humane or compassionate. we all know what san francisco is experiencing a housing crisis. since 2010, we have built one unit of housing for every eight jobs, resulting in a skyrocketing housing cost. housing and security is personal and real for me. i've been a renter all my life. when i was in college my grandmother was told our home was being torn down and it was up to us to find a new place to live. as mayor, my plan to reduce our housing shortage includes building at least 5,000 units every year. increasing funding for affordable housing, building affordable housing on underutilized sites around the city, like we will do at the mcdonald's sight. and reforming our city, -- archaic approval process for 100 %, compliant projects.

the public safety challenges facing our city are personal for me. i know what it's like to have your car broken -- cart window broken not once but repeatedly even when you have nothing to steal. i boat legislation to curb heartbreak ends and tourist hotspots and commercial corridors through collaboration with a rental car companies stopping property crime and making sure people feel safe and protected in their own neighbourhood as a top priority of mine. as supervisor, i helped but 400 new police officers on the street including bilingual officers and as mayor i will add 200 more officers to our streets by the end of 2019. our city needs a mayor who will represent all san franciscans. we have a responsibility to everyone. people are depending on asked to work together to attack these challenges, not attack each other. and i am running for mayor because i believe that together, there is no problem we can't

solve. with bold and creative leadership. i respectfully ask for your vote on june 5th. please check out my website. [♪] [♪] >> hello. my name is richie greenberg and i'm running to be your next mayor of san francisco. i was born in queens, new york and i've been a resident of san francisco for 17 years. i'm a married, my wife and i live in the richmond district and i'm a father of an amazing 26 year old daughter starting in university overseas. back in 1989, i earned my california state income tax service license and for nearly 30 years, i've worked in the private sector is a small business advisor and tax consultants. recently, i've become very involved with local politics and last year i was voted into the san francisco gop's official replicant -- republican party committee. a growing number of san franciscans are energized and

excited that our city, at long last has a republican in this june 5th mayor raced making this election a truly two party race. i'm endorsed by the san francisco republican party, in the lgbt republican club and by the small property owners of san francisco. i've earned my reputation and resulting endorsements based on me being the only levelheaded, grounded and respectful leader and candidate for office. with every election cycle, san francisco's voters see the same recycled candidates, the same rhetoric and promises with no real solutions. this is making our city's problems progressively worse year after year. we need better, and i will be better, much better. moreover, the current city hall leadership and nearly all mayoral candidates have shifted so far left that voters are dismayed and in disbelief. the majority of san francisco's

voices are now unheard and unrepresented. but i am a great listener and a great planner for action. it's what i've done in my career for nearly 30 years. city hall cannot operate without checks and balances. it hasn't worked for years and it will not work in the future. i will be the checks and balances. i will stop san francisco from being taken to the brink of catastrophe. so why am i running? while i believe in or -- core values that will guide me as your next mayor. accountability, law and order and uplifting our quality of life. everything from homelessness to car break-ins, to supporting our police officers, to building housing, to fixate community infrastructure and cleaning the streets, to maintaining quality leadership to department city heads. to helping neighbourhood small businesses and so much more. all these issues can and will be addressed by my three core values of accountability, law and order and uplifting our city's quality of life. the under -- other candidates

for mayor think a solution to our financial woes is to continue to tax hard-working residents and add more and more burdens on small business owners and property owners and in a robin hood style. other candidates fundamentally change or want to change, or might i say, destroy our city's west side, a pet just a pending single family homes and changing the neighbourhood character and turn -- turn san francisco into manhattan or hong kong. clearly, i'm against this. don't mess with the west side. overall, our city needs those families and we need our children and we need great education and great teachers to actually prepare students for the best shot at opportunities for the future, whether they are heading to college or to vocational training. we need parking. we need to build housing beyond micro- apartments. we need one, two and three bedroom apartments a house couples and families with children, seniors, the elderly

and disabled. on homelessness i view individuals who are sleeping on the streets and the mentally ill wandering and tattered clothing as a humanitarian disaster. i will probably declare a state of emergency within days of being sworn in as your next mayor. and closing, san francisco needs a leader, not an activist. we need an ambassador, not an embarrassment. i am such a leader and i am such an ambassador. i wish to thank the league of women voters for organizing these candidates and informative videos for you to see and to learn from. please have a look at my campaign website. vote june 5th for a level headed and clear thinking candidate, richie greenberg. god bless san francisco and god bless the united states of america.

[♪] >> hi, i am jane came in over the last rock from on-site talked to san franciscans and every corner of rma didn't there's an amazing city. i've been invited into your living rooms, visited senior centres and visited families and children before and after school. in every way -- everywhere i go i hear the same concern that we are losing our friends, neighbours, and our middle-class. residents are worried that they maybe next to be forced out of the city to has long been known as a sanctuary for all of us. san francisco can and must do better. and people are understandably worried but have also been inspired by our neighbours who are committed to fighting together. for the san francisco we all love. i'm running for mayor of this amazing city to lead that fight for san francisco. and i will make cleaning our streets a top priority. i will double the numbers of

street cleaners and public toilets, expanding progress to higher homeless individuals to help us clean our streets. i will work to strengthen k-12 public education, expand through city college and opportunities by making childcare available at affordable for every family. i will work to accelerate construction of new affordable and middle income housing and i will work to speed up the infrastructure improvements that slow development down and i will make sure that the developers pay their fair share for transit, parks, schools, affordable housing and other services to ensure we build complete neighbourhoods. and i'll expands the mental health and addiction treatment programs for almost residents so we are not just housing them, we are healing them and helping them stay permanently off our streets. and i will upgrade our transportation right now by finding more buses, longer chains, fairies, and protected of bike lanes. while doubling the number of

traffic enforcement officers to keep things moving. as a supervisor, and former member of the san francisco board of education, i've been proud to stand and fight for our city. and i fought and have 13 -- free city college for all of our residents. a 50-dollar minimum wage, record levels of affordable housing and new developments. strong protection for tenants and expanded medical services for homeless residents. and i'm ready to continue fighting again. to fight together for our city so that we can put san francisco on the right path. supporting our working-class communities and regrowing our middle-class. with the right investment, and housing, education, and public transportation. i believe in san francisco. and i know we can be the home to the resistance, investing in our residents again, and standing up to donald trump through our policies and our values.

because if san francisco doesn't lead the way, who will? i hope to earn your vote this june 5th. join me or learn more on my website. thank you. z -- [♪] [♪] >> hello i am mark leno. i have had the great honour to serve san francisco for four years as county supervisor, six years as an assembly member, and eight years as your state senator put together we have accomplished some incredible things for women and families across the city, and throughout the state. i was proud to offer legislation making california the first estatstate in the nation to rair minimum wage to $15 an hour, giving five-point 6 million workers arrays and lifting over 2 million californians out of poverty, including the

disproportionately high number of women who make up the minimum wage earners. when city college was in the depths of it's accreditation crisis, i was able to secure $120 million in stabilization fund going to save city college so that we could live to provide free city today. as mayor, i would like to take that a step further and to duplicate what long beach has done with the long beach promise. for students who complete their aa at city college, san francisco should provide free state so that city college graduates can finish their ba at no cost. as mayor, this would be a top priority. we can call it the san francisco promise. we also know that here in california, we rank 50 out of 50 states in participation of food stamp programs. that's why i offer legislation removing hurdles like requiring

fingerprints for eligibility to assist many more to finally benefit from this critical initiative. i was also privileged to work with a coalition of domestic violence advocates to offer legislation protecting survivors so they can break the residential leashes to make a safe exit from their homes. it is my honour to have authored the bill which will move from all state statutes the term "battered women syndrome." and replace it with "intimate partner battering." the former inferred it was a characteristic of the woman that brought a part of her -- upon her the violence of her partner. this time should never it further victimize the victim. i was also particularly proud to offer the california single-payer unit of dirt -- universal health care bill. not once cast but twice. moving the ball down the field so we can soon provide meaningful health car healthcary

californian. san francisco could also benefit from a universal mental health care thealthcare to address the growing crisis facing so many on our streets today. i'm running for mayor because i'm convinced that it's time for a new direction at city hall. on june 5th, voters will have a clear choice between fundamental change and the status quo. a status quo which is not working for any of us. our crises of homelessness, housing affordability, crime and the conditions of our streets are all out of control. and the only candidate in this race who has released a plan, a detailed plan, to end homelessness by 2020, it is time for city hall to make this a top priority that it is an reject cynicism and finally demand results. as the author of san francisco's

affordable housing mandate known as the inclusionary zoning ordinance, we have built many, many thousands of below market rate units in recent years. but we need to do much more. i will ensure that any new market rate development that receives any public benefit will be required to provide a higher percentage of affordable units. we need to serve our needs at this time of crisis. i'm honoured to have the support of the u.s. senator paris and our stat state comptroller, bete and our sin to be state treasurer and six of the 11 members of the board of supervisors. six of the seven members of the city college board of trustees. the united educators of san francisco. the lgbt democratic club and other clubs. the sierra club and the number 1 endorsement of the san francisco party, the democratic party.
