[cheers and applause] >> these are trusted institutions. they will provide an independent analysis so the public can feel confident in the results. we also have to break the gridlock that is on our streets and create a more functioning

transportation system. people may continue to choose to drive in san francisco, but that can't be their only choice. i will work with supervisor peskin on a measure that will charge our ride hail companies to relieve congestion on our streets.

[applause] >> we are a city that is surrounded by bridges, not divided by walls, and we will stay that way. [applause] >> when i took the oath of office six months ago, i never pretended i could solve all of our problems. i believed we could solve them working together. i believed in a government for all of us, and i still believe that we are working to turn the tides, and i hope every san franciscan can feel the

difference when you see our public works crews, our -- out power washing the sidewalks and picking up trash, i hope you feel the difference. when you see our police officers walking the beats in the neighborhood, and talking to the merchants and the residence, i hope that you feel the difference. when you see our homeless outreach team and public health workers helping people suffering on our streets, i hope you feel the difference. when you see a new shelter open, a new affordable housing project go up, or a new bike lane that gets finished, i hope you smile and feel the difference. i hope you believe with me that you hold your head high and take pride in our city, and what we can do together, because we are san francisco. we will meet these challenges, and we will continue to light a better way for the future of our city.

[applause] >> the hon. london breed: i want to take this opportunity to recognize members of the san francisco board of supervisors who are joining us today, including the president of the board of supervisors, norman yee, supervisors vallie brown, ahsha safai, and gordon mar, and matt haney. thank you all so much for being

here today. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: now i know that it took us a little while to get here, and one of the things that i am so excited about is the fact that we are here. we are here because the building and construction trades, some members of the board of supervisors, some of our department heads, like phil ginsburg and mohamed nuru, they all came to the table, and many of our l.b.e.s, wanting to make sure that we came up with an agreement that was fair, that supported good wages, that provides opportunities for people in san francisco, some of whom have never worked a job a day in their life, providing real opportunities for them to be part of the building and construction trades, making sure that our l.b.e.s, who -- especially those who are struggling to do business in the city and county of san francisco have a real shot at

growth. and this agreement i think is a fair and balanced agreement that is going to help lead our city into the future. we know that prying to negotiate a project labor agreement started many, many years ago under the leadership of larry mazzola, sr. [applause] >> and it's -- it's only fitting that we actually deliver it with your offspring, larry mazzola, jr. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: it started with the leadership under the labor council with tim paulson carrying on that tradition with rudy gonzalez who is now head of the labor council here in san francisco. so many amazing people. it really did take a village to get to this place, and i'm honored to be with you here today to sign this important legislation that is really

about building strong communities, create opportunities that providing opportunities for growth and making sure that no one is left behind. so this is the beginning. we know that there is still work to do. i also want to recognize josh arce, who's our workforce director. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and thank you all so much, again, for just all of your hard work, for coming to the table, and doing what's necessary to arrive at what i think is a fair and balanced agreement. and miguel, thank you for being here today. miguel with the l.b.e.s, the person who led the negotiations and made sure that he expressed some of the challenges with a number of the women and minority contractors so that this was a fair and balanced agreement. so i want to thank each and every one of you for being here today. we know that it was a tough

road, john and vince and others, and tony. there was some yelling, there was some cursing, that was some really crazy conversations, but you know what? that's how you negotiate. that's how you get things done. you've got to be willing to have the hard conversation. but what i appreciate about everyone who participated in this agreement is that everyone was willing to stay and sit at the table and work through the differences that we have to come up with a compromise where no one is actually happy about everything, which means we did something right. so today, i'm really proud and excited to sign this agreement. i also want to recognize my deputy chief of staff who helped lead the negotiations, andrea bruss. thank you so much. i don't know how many complaints i got about andrea,

but in the end, she was great for leading these negotiations on behalf of my office, and we really couldn't have done this without some dedicated members of the board of supervisors. which included a team -- a tag team of supervisor ahsha safai and supervisor aaron peskin. they really led the negotiations, and supervisor sandy fewer came in with, you know, just some extra oomph to the conversation which really created, again, a fair and balanced agreement, one that we all can agree is best for the future of the city and county of san francisco. with that, i'd like to introduce supervisor safai to say a few words. [applause] >> supervisor safai: thank you, madam mayor. i can tell you probably this time last year i would not have been able to predict that we would be standing here, ready

to sign this agreement. and that's just the truth. i think if you ask anyone that was involved in it, there were a lot of fits and starts. but one of the things that changed was the election in june of this mayor, and this mayor -- yes. [applause] >> supervisor safai: we -- when london breed was the president of the board of supervisors, we had engaged on this topic. we had reached out, started talking with larry and john and everyone involved, and miguel and juliana, and said this is going to happen. this is going to happen because it's the right thing to do. and many people said, why do we need a p.l.a.? what's the reason for a p.l.a.? we have a good contractor. why do we need this. but when you think about this, it's not about what can happen today, it's about what can

happen in the worst times. it's when we have a recession, when people aren't thinking about what can happen in the future and when things turnaround, because at the end of the day, it's about protecting workers, it's about the advancements we've made in city build and local hiring. it's about protecting the advancements we've made in our l.b.e. community. it's about expanding the opportunities for everyone and ensuring that we lead not only for california but for the rest of the nation. this is a historic framework. i know that larry and the city administrator and all their team and l.b.e. community are going to come together, and they're going to negotiate in the next year a wonderful agreement that's going to advance us. but i have to say when mayor breed was elected it was a game changer. within since months of her being in office so many things have happened for organized labor that had been talked about for decades that had

never happened. we negotiated a citywide m.c.o. agreement. that was a commitment on the magnitude of millions of dollars. we have negotiated the framework now for a citywide p.l.a. larry, sr. told me on the way in that he's been talking about this for 20 year. this mayor, and her leadership on the board of supervisors, we got this done in the first six months of her being in office. [applause] >> supervisor safai: so yes, there were a lot of people that were under the radar. i want to give a big shout out to massoud from the p.u.c. the p.u.c. also helped in these negotiations. the city administrator, we had negotiations, i was sitting in my robe in front of the fireplace at 1:00 in the morning on the phone with these folks. i'm sure on the other end of the line, they're thinking how

are we up at 1:00 in the morning, trying to get this done? but in the end, it was a unanimous vote by the board of supervisors, a unanimous vote, larry, and we did it, and we did it for every single one of these workers that are sitting here, the one that will follow them, and we set the framework for the city and county of san francisco. so thank you, madam mayor. thank you. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and with that, i'd like to introduce miguel galarza to come up and say a few words. this guy right here is a real tough negotiator, but really, a great businessman in the city and county of san francisco, one who represented minority contractors and women contractors in the city, and he did a phenomenal job. miguel? [applause] >> thank you. i just want to say thank you to all the council members. despite our disagreements at the beginning, we came together

and put together a policy that's going to make a difference for many of our city workers that are not in the building trades council or open shop businesses, that sooner or later will be part of the brotherhood that is the union workforce, so thank you all for making it happen. i also want to thank the mayor for her leadership. there's no doubt that she may say i'm a tough negotiator, but she held the line, and she made sure that we stayed there for hours and hours and hours, and she calmed everybody down when tensions were high, and at the end of the day, we -- they wouldn't be high until we all had passion, and there's passion on the building trades for the right reason. they've made a difference in people's lives for a long time. and there's passion for those of us that own businesses. i'm a kid from the mission district. i started out as a carpenter back in the 70's, and now

today, i have 70 employees. so all of you that are in the building trades now, shoot for the stars because ultimately, you will be the next generation of union employers and employees that will continue to make san francisco what it is today, the shining star of the nation. and with that, thank you for making -- again, for making it happen, mayor, supervisors, and enjoy your day. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: and there were tough negotiators all around, including the representatives of the building and the construction trades. i have never seen john get so red in the face on numerous occasions as someone who has a lot of passion along with tony and danny and vince and tim. they were all at the table just really with an understanding of the challenges that the

workers, that they represent face, but also so many san franciscans in our l.b.e. community face, as well. and i really appreciate the fact that you all were so actively engaged in helping us get to this point. thank you to your commitment and passion to the workers of san francisco, and thank you to the person who led the effort, who basically was phenomenal in his work. clearly, larry, sr. has taught you well in terms of being a fierce, tough negotiator in representing workers in the city and county of san francisco. ladies and gentlemen, larry mazzola, jr. [applause] >> thank you, miss mayor. so i'm not sure how many of you know this, but this started 2.5 years ago with a process, and it started with a phone call. phil ginsburg and mohamed nuru

called me 2.5 years ago and said we want a citywide project labor agreement. can you get this done? i said i don't know, guys. it'll be a tough task, but i'll try, and here we are. like ahsha says, p.l.a.s are -- are great for workers. they're going to be great for the workers of this city, union and nonunion alike. a lot of people don't understand what p.l.a.s do and what they are. and i wrote down a few things. they provide for workers in the communities. they provide uniform wages, benefits, hours and working conditions. they bar unions from striking, so it's like a peace agreement. they provide contractors reliable and uninterrupted supply of qualified workers at predictable cost. they ensure that projects are completed on time and on budget. they create career paths for women, minorities, and

veterans. and the biggest thing is that they protect the workers, like i said, union and nonunion workers alike in san francisco will benefit from a project labor agreement of this size and this statute. like i said before, this happened over a number of years, but it happened -- the way it got over the finish line happened because of one person, and that person is mayor london breed. and she took the bull by the horns, and she said right when we got in office, she said larry, we're going to get this thing over the finish line. i know you've been working with a lot of different people on this, and it's an important issue to you, it's an important issue to you, and it's an important issue to the city. she grabbed us at city hall one day. we were supposed to have a two-hour meeting, and it turned into a ten-hour meeting. she cancelled appointments and other things that she had to be at. she said we're going to finish this night, and she did that. she brokered a deal, and

there's no one that i want to thank more than mayor london breed for getting this done. [applause] >> i also want to thank aaron peskin, who's not here, and ahsha safai -- did i get that right? ahsha had a lot to do with us and sat down with us hour after hour, days, weeks. we had conference calls at night, 1:00, 2:00 at night. i really don't want to think about what you were wearing during those conference calls, so please don't bring that up again. but i do want to thank you very much for all the effort that i put in, and thank you for letting me have a drink in your office afterwards. you know, san francisco, the progressive city that it is is first on everything -- on a lot of things, on most things. we're a model for the country. i've been saying this since day one. san francisco should have done

a citywide project labor agreement a long time ago. there's other communities in the state that have them. contra costa, lob, los angeles, santa clara, just to kna -- lo angeles, santa clara, just to name a few. this is a few that builds on those values to protect the workers and to protect the citizens of san francisco. so i'm glad that we finally got to this point. there's a lot of work still to do. as the mayor mentioned, we have nine months or a little bit longer to negotiate and hammer out the rest of this. and i know the mayor's going to press on her staff to get that done by the deadline that we have, and we're going to get this thing done. and then, it's hopefully going to become law later this year, and it's going to be help for a lot of people, disadvantaged people. we have a great relationship with city build, and we're

going to bring a lot of those people that may not have had a chance to get into the trades into the trades. it's important to all of us, and important, as well, to the city, obviously. apprenticeships have always been the backbones of the unions, and we've always had an open-door policy for our apprenticeship programs. we want to continue to do that and see our young people have another option besides going to college if that's not their choice. i think this is going to be a great agreement that's going to benefit a lot of people. i just can't stress enough how much i can thank mayor breed for the leadership she's shown, for her negotiation skills, and for everything she's done for labor and building trades as a whole, especially. she's a born and raised san franciscan like i am. she cares about building trades, she cares about city workers. and i really appreciate everything you've done in your short time in office, mayor

breed. thank you very much. [applause] >> the hon. london breed: this is how all negotiations are going to go in the city, fingers crossed. all right. let's get this legislation signed. miguel, come on up. larry -- all right. we ready? and then, what's the date today? >> 1-18-19. >> the hon. london breed: all right. there you go.

currently we have 286 cases that we are in the process of working on. that number is up from 24 g last year this time. this year, in 2019, there are ten cases we have sustained, versus three cases we sustained this time last year, we are still at the same number as last week for cases that have passed the 270 day point. that is 25 cases. of this 25 cases, 17 of them are being told for legal reasons. in terms of cases mediated, we have up to three so far. we were out one at this time last year. new in the office we have a new staff members. we have offloaded for new investigators, and one new administrative analyst, which started earlier this month, and i will introduce them to really

get both of them, if not all of them are paid here in the audience today if i do have something that i want to talk a little bit about created our new sustained case report. we got around to that have changed that. the highlights of the meeting, now in the sustained reports that the chief receives and the commission receives, it will have a broader and deeper legal analysis associated with it. we reduced the time to prepare the reports, so all of you will have more time to review and make disciplinary decisions. basically, what will happen is the new reports will be co-authored by the investigators and the attorneys who will be working on the cases from the very beginning, and not just at the end, providing supplementals and often duplicate if information, facts, and analysis we estimate it is about 30% of

the time that it takes to get to all of you to put the cases in front of you. the problem we are trying to solve for where there were repetitive summaries and long summaries of interviews that were repetitive, and necessary work in those reports. the difference that you will see is that the legal analysis for each case will be in context and concise, quicker and easier for all of you to see the big picture, and to make the decisions you make regarding the discipline. we have already started to. you should start seeing those soon, what i wanted to explain it to you as you start seeing them. you will be getting them faster and more concise moving forward to. in terms of the mediation, as you know, we have expanded the staff that is involved in mediation in my office, and both the director, in addition to our

outreach director, met with the chief and his command staff on the 17th to talk about mediation and outreach. i just want to thank the chief for that meeting, and let folks know that the mediation team is going to present -- make a presentation at the meeting with the department on the 21st. that is coming up, we are excited about unable to articulate and answer the questions about how the office works, what the mediation project does, in context to the cases, and the other work we do to the department. we have a lot of outreach during this month. folks from the staff, d.b.a., went to the district stations' community meeting scott both to answer questions and receive information throughout the city. this month, we have been to ingleside, central, tenderloin, and mission appeared on the 17th, the outreach, my outreach manager met with chief

community. thank you for hosting us. >> thank you -- thank you for joining the office of d.b.a., and the commission expects professionalism, that is what we ask of you, go to, professional investigation. a strong d.p.a. builds a strong police department. thank you. any thing -- commissioner taylor? >> director henderson, i know -- i know that you had talked before about not only providing us with the results of your audit, but the analysis behind it. what is the schedule for that? >> i would love to schedule something to come and make a presentation for all of you, both on what we are doing with the audit, where we are, and what it will look like, i would love to get that on the calendar. we are ready, i just need a date and a time to make it part of the agenda. i've already spoken with that whole team, and they are ready to make the presentation. that is ongoing, i believe we should have the results in may,

but i would love to get it on the record before then to answer questions, and to make inclusions if the council wants more stuff presented in a way that is more palatable to a broader audience. >> anything further for director henderson? hearing none, please call the next item. >> item three c., reports to the commission commit. commission reports will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. commission president's report, commissioner's reports. update on dg l3 .16, there working group meeting held on general 28, 2019. >> thank you very much. basically we have been busy in the weeks that we have been off, working on assembly bill 1421. and other issues, whether it is staffing, and how we will handle it, there have been several meetings on that front, but that

is what i have reported to commissioners. is there anything else you would like to report? >> i met with some members of the youth commission, and they would like to come to this body and report on their concerns regarding the youth commission and police activity, as well as their budget. they asked for us to schedule i think, march 13th, a short presentation -- february 13th, a short presentation. i did speak to commissioners, and i think that will work out for them to do that. i also want to remind this commission that i have probably resolution so that we have a rotating youth commissioner to sit with us, and make presentations on a weekly basis. and you get to choose from that person will be. the youth commission will take that up and look at the resolution. and hopefully it is something we can bring in march or april to this commission, and have them participate in some fashion with this body.

>> great. anything further? >> gotcha. so, i was looking back in my phone so i could remember what i was doing over at the headquarters, we had dg '03 16, that meeting there last week. myself and commissioner taylor. i think, i don't think there's too much substantive to report right now, just that we are making progress. i think the last meeting was very productive and that we narrowed the issues and through a combination of the community, the commissioners, and the department, it is my opinion we are on a pretty good track, and i think that hopefully the next meeting maybe able to move

forward and report something more substantive. >> i should also add, i met with the d.p.a. and the p.o.a., and the police department on this pic i have to tell you, it was very productive, commissioners, to have everyone in the room, we all sat in the room and we hash it out. i want to thank the director, and i want to think p.o.a. and staff are doing it. it was a very effective way of handling it. >> it is the medal of valour his. commissioner taylor? >> i want to echo what the commissioner said about the 3.16 working group. and i want to commend the department, both the community groups -- especially to the department, i was pleasantly surprised by folks really coming up with creative solutions, and in the spirit of compromise, i think we are very close to hopefully a resolution that will be good for everyone. >> no worries.

>> i also want to report that commissioner taylor and i and the chief had a black history month 2019 celebration kickoff. black migrations moving forward where we heard from the barge commissioner who gave the keynote, but it was an exciting event that took place here at city hall. mayor breed to give me phenomenal speech as she declared it black history month pickett was an excellent event, encouraging folks and community to come out for the entire month. >> i forgot, i have asked this body to put on the agenda of the letter we got from a cat remember -- >> that is next. >> okay, thank you. >> please call the next line item. >> item 3d is commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration of fridge -- future commission meetings.

>> and snap the next commission meeting will be on the 13th at 530 p.m. here at city hall in room 400. >> so i think we got the letter saying we had violated the brown act, i think it was, from the task force. i thought we could -- i thought i had asked if we could agenda eyes that so we can talk about it. >> i would ask that that letter be distributed to all the commissioners so we have a look at it, and if there are some authorities, whether or not it's binding -- i understand some of the conversations we've had about bringing that forward, but again, i think we should put that off down the work -- road until we get a firm handle on that. that would be my opinion. but if that is what the whole commission wants, we could take a vote on it. it is something we can actually vote on right now. >> can we at least put it on the agenda? >> i think that the deterrents

for putting it on its because of the substantive issue, and i don't think that's what the commissioner is asking for. she is asking for -- so i think procedurally, we should at least put this on the agenda to talk about that, not the substantive portion of the letter. >> for those who were there at the seat -- that evening, we had firm legal advice from our city attorney that we had done everything legally and procedurally correct. >> we can't talk about it right now so i want to put it on the agenda. >> i would just follow up on that point, we have talked about this before, and we keep talking about it every meeting. nobody here has a desire to go back and relive those glorious days that you had here.
