>> okay. we will call for public comment on any item pertaining to two -- two a route two d., you are limited to three minutes. >> good evening. >> good evening. i'm sorry to report that my bike was stolen in the city three days ago, hardly a major event. so i was listening to all these things, and regarding the youth programs, i hope that they greatly emphasize that a lot more gardening should be included, and you have a lot of availabilities to do that in the beautiful golden gate park and such. i am here speaking peter, and with spec to chiefs got in the s.f. p.d. and thumbs up to the mayor, i believe and state that law enforcement is stuck in the

middle of a sent tonic riddle, and it is ash wednesday. where we reflect and repent, the king of kings never lies, never dies, suffers neither fools nor alibis. as you do under the least of me, it came out of the gospel, and was reference to the animals we clearly see. so, the u.s. constitution has also been disregarded. i pray this answer will be a causation for change. why or more black males treated more aggressively nationwide, and this seems to be the case for a very long time. let it be that you clearly see through spirit, it is because the world has always, to this moment, hated even now, the master carpenter with the will and hair who also spoke clearly

about lawyers. the bar association and service to papal law has long usurped by ku all three branches of government, and ongoing treasonous truth. the opposed -- they oppose assistance to the homeless, otherwise they'd be suing every church for false advertising, love one another, do unto one another. perhaps the reason for the high incidence of aggression towards hispanics might be because every fourth one of them is named jesus. so it seems that religious leaders and deceivers would rather rule in help then served in heaven. the churches could easily take in all the homeless, but instead, they would rather see the camps filled up. they're over 4 million people in

the camps, but before obama started, these people were not sent back to their countries, they were sent to camps, they're quarantined camps, work camps, menchaca camps, children's camps, women's camps. i wish to address one last thing regarding traffic -- >> thank you. >> thank you. >> all right, thank you. yes, you do. general public comment. >> this is public comment on items we just covered. >> good evening. >> pleased to hear that we are addressing bias. we should address it daily, and

perhaps even in this body. i have not seen the same instances in quite some time, but we should be mindful not to interact with the men on this commission in the same way as the women. i grew up any matriarchy. perhaps i am sensitive to this, but i feel that i see it and i think if you preventively admonish commissioners when they're looking for a point of clarification and then interrupting another commissioner, and then proceed to interrupt another commissioner, and then asked to have something put on the agenda, back to the same discussion we've had about what is a comment, what is a discussion, it seems to be targeted, and i think we have done well to address it before we can do it again. i really appreciated commander lazar's presentation. i think he supports something i've addressed with this body before, which is that we give

law enforcement too many things to do in such a fashion that guarantees failure. he knows that the team does a better job of marketing services availability. i think he is onto something there and there's a lot of duties that s.f. p.d. -- we do ask them to do, that would be more sensibly provided by perhaps others, or those who are not militarized. lastly, and the only thing i really came here initially to discuss is something you know about me, i believe, but specifically with regard to the department of police accountability. i am informed by my experiences. thank you. >> thank you. >> good evening, commissioners. >> good evening. >> i just lost my e-mail that i was going to read from, just one

second. okay. i work for the youth and planning services program and a look forward to sharing with them the youth program that s.f. p.d. is doing and the c.b.o. his that we work with. there is a lot to cover today. as a city his server fighter certified spanish bilingual worker, i'm disturbed at the lack of quality translation that was presented tonight. i've seldom had to use interpreters, but i do know the translator cannot add or guide questions, but it is unacceptable that vital information such as an injury was not translated. whoever sees the contract with the third-party contractor needs to demand accountability or change contractors. if it is an in-house translator, that person needs to be retrained or released. i'm also troubled by the report on the homelessness sweep. first and foremost, i find this model has already been alluded to before, and it is completely backwards. we need social workers and mental health professionals

taking the lead in the outreach with s.f. p.d. merely on standby as a backup for safety. all parties came up with a model to rework it and police officers are not social workers and will not be able to have the success of those trained to nurture and support vulnerable people. we also need to allow people to bring pets and possessions to the shelters. people are turning down a short-term shelter because they are forced to relinquish their scarce survival supplies. it is also appalling to think that people are expected to travel to 2323 cesar chavez to retrieve their belongings. it is not rocket science, it is a logistical nightmare. the question that was asked, why compensate -- confiscate tense, basically a person's home, as evidence? as a taxpayer, i resent the district attorney making this much effort to prosecute those who have nothing. finally, i am very uncomfortable with the integrity of an investigation into the death of

jeff adachi, which i do consider necessary. that should be an investigation to make sure there was no foul play. but considering -- i'm sorry, but there is deep hostility that the sfpd has demonstrated towards him, it concerns me they are the lead investigators in this. i am outraged by these leaks. as a city worker, i don't know how this violation can occur without consequences. in my department, we take confidentiality very seriously and so should the san francisco police department. finally, i witnessed something on the bus a week after i gave testimony about how good things are. this police officer came right up to a homeless black man with such hostility and he pushed him to get him off the bus. when he ask about the incidents, if it had been me, i bet it would have been, excuse me man, can you calm down or step off? with him, it was get off -- >> thank you.

>> good evening. >> okay. in the late 1980s, i started my volunteer community work in the southeast sector to address many -- addressed many public safety needs, especially for the nonenglish-speaking victims. back then, police reports were mainly in english. therefore with the language barriers, cultural inhibition, political repressions, fear of retaliation, et cetera, it all resulted in many nonand underreported cases. later, a commander who was our captain then initiated. however, in the case of the non-english-speaking people on mission's speak -- mission

street whose calls were not responded to 44 hours, we don't want this case to be have a damper put on the case so far. we think the survivors to attending to this matter, and of course, to the police for the application -- apprehension of the two perpetrators. most of all, it is important for the emergency department and police to identify the causes of the problem and define ways to avoid such a serious gap in police response time in the future. when i went to see him ten days ago and before that, i was sorry that despite his broken finger and injury, he still ahead many tasks to respond to in his little mom and pop store. i'm assuming they made some requests. he wanted to make sure that the time the response of police calls in the future, especially for the non-english-speaking populations. he would like to see more police patrols around the area because

his business, and he told me some of the others suffered as a result, financially. he would like to see surveillance cameras as strategic locations and to see if there is any way that the city can help a business like his to have surveillance cameras inside as well. he wants to see that there should be a multilingual approach for all the businesses around so they can have that easy access and i gave him a list of places to call, and hopefully the city will respond. thank you for opening this up and making this a big issue because as i said, i work with city cars for 37 years in the evening, and i have taught immigrant children for 35 years in the daytime. all my life has been with this population. as i said, i started this

because my fellow neighbors and residents were embattled in those days. >> thank you very much. thank you for your service too. okay. public comment is now closed on those items. next item. >> line three, discussion and possible action to approve issuance of department bulletin, responsibility for booking -- modifying department general order 7.01, juvenile policies and procedures, a change from the dg oh, was in front of the police unit, processing and transporting a juvenile that has been improperly booked. they shall process and transport the juvenile. action. >> thank you. assist with the department?

>> this is the department bulletin that addresses a very rare incident, but has happened in the past where a juvenile may have given wrong information at given a date of birth that makes them an adult when they are inadvertently booked in county jail, and we identify them to be a juvenile. the responsibility is to ally with southern station to transport the juvenile to a different station. it is a responsibility to be transferred to the station that made the initial arrest. >> okay. yes? >> reading this, will there be a delay in transporting the juvenile? the way that i read it, i'm trying to figure out what it looks like logistically, so they bring the juvenile to the county jail where he is then booked, as the officer who arrested him, is he or she still there waiting on sight at the county jail to determine where the juvenile goes, or does that officer leave and then once county jail

determines in fact it is a juvenile, belong there, do they then need to call the officer back? i am trying to -- i guess my concern is whether or not this last time where the juvenile is stuck at the county jail rather than being transported where they need to be. >> usually the way it works, usually they are identified they are fingerprinted during the processing process. they identified as a juvenile and immediately segregated and taken out of the jail facility because you can't have juveniles and adults jail facility, and then they will immediately dispatch the station units that arrested them to come in and take the juvenile and transport them to the jail. >> so they have to -- they don't have to wait for the arresting officer to come back? if it is all the way in the sunset or they're at the county jail, even though they are quarantined or not with the regular population, how much time are we -- are we putting a

time limit on that? how long will they have to stay there? >> this has been the process 44 years now. the reason why -- this has been the process for four years now. we haven't experienced it, it is very rare. but at that time, theoretically, yes, maybe ten or 15 minutes for a unit to be dispatched, but we have not had any issues. >> the reason this is coming up is because this conflicts with a general order. >> correct. >> you are asking us to approve this department bulletin because of the conflict. the only request i would have is we also bring up the general order, calendar that to change the general order so it is consistent with the department bulletin. this will not make sense five years from now when we have bulletins that are contradicting general orders. >> yes, we well, as part of the general order review process, all general orders will be

reviewed. i believe there are several other issues that we may need to be addressing with regards to juvenile procedures. >> okay. , as long as there is a note made that this should be included as well. >> yes. >> can i have a motion to approve this revision to the department bulletin? >> so moved. >> second. >> any comment? we need public comment on this before we vote. just on this item. any public comment? seeing none, public comment is closed. all in favor? imac. >> the motion passes unanimously >> line four, discussion and proposed action of the disciplinary penalty under -- under full guidelines of this were members of the sfpd for purposes in meeting -- discussion and possible action. >> this matter was tabled at the last meeting so that we could take input from any commissioner

who wanted to suggest changes. we do have a few changes that have been submitted. one is on page 4 where language is stricken, instead of reading the misconduct reasonably and negatively impacted, and now just raise the misconduct negatively impacts, and then we have a change on page 17 of 19 where we are adding a -- it is proposed we add for discrimination in bias policing. normally engaging and biased policing or discrimination, and referencing d.g.o. 11.07. and then there is also a change on page 18 where, again, in addition to bias, the words, or discrimination are added in the disciplinary matrix. i don't have any issue with the changes. i think they make sense. are there any comments? >> thank you. there is one thing that i wanted

to bring up, especially having reviewed the 96 report and digesting it, i think there should be a different word to use with respect to the bias policing on page 17 where you say knowingly engaged in bias policing, because the whole concept of implicit bias is it being unconscious knowledge, you are unconscious of the bias, so the knowledge aspect or component is not there. i think it is counterintuitive to say knowingly engaging in bias. i'm not sure what word to put there, or how you would describe it, but i think -- >> there is a problem with that. this is a first opens termination. this is for somebody who knowingly engages in biased behaviour and we are throwing them off the police force, as opposed to somebody with unconscious bias, and i think the discipline might be a little different, or the approach is different. i don't know if it is covered

somewhere else, i think it may be. >> implicit biased is premised on the fact that, you know, you are not aware of it, it is just there. i think it has to encompass that, and i think saying knowingly engaged in bias is counterintuitive to implicit bias, or the concept or if of implicit bias. >> maybe they should be separate categories and dealt with differently by the department and by this commission. >> i think the problem there is everybody is biased. everyone is to some degree. that is what implicit bias is. we all walk around with biases. without some kind of fuller qualifier, make it a first 8:50 pm terminable a fence, it doesn't give a lot of clarity to anyone as to what that means. i think we do need to parse that and break down what we are

talking about, because everyone on this commission is biased in some way. if they were to take a test, we've all got its. if you don't, you just don't know you have it. i think we need a little bit more than that before we terminate people right off the bat. >> i want to talk about the knowingly part. i want to put some clarification seen. on page 17 of page 18 and 19, we talked about discrimination, we are also changing the second oh, fence termination, and there is no third fence -- there is no third fence.

there's only two oh, fence is, it doesn't get a third. and unknowingly, a question i have, how do you show knowingly? it is a finite term. how do you show that? that was my only concern. how do you show that? >> just an observation, commissioners, i participated in the development of this matrix, and on page 17 where we referenced the bias policing, this section applies to the police services that we are providing to the community, and

referencing d.g.o. rev -- regulates workplace conduct in terms of employee conduct towards another employee. so referencing d.g.o. will trigger other investigations. i don't know if it is the intent of the commission to send these investigations to d.h.r. to conduct other investigations versus other investigations. i think that is an issue we need to ferret out. >> as it covered somewhere else? >> it is on the next page. page 18. that is fine. workplace bias or discrimination, but using -- referencing d.g.o. in this section may inadvertently trigger a layer of review that i don't think the commission intends -- when we are talking about bias and discrimination against a community member. >> it is my understanding that d.h.r. -- this does cover

coworkers, and in the workplace discrimination, and that they will do their independent investigation as the h.r. department for the city, but i also think it covers instances where, for example, they have done an investigation, and whatever their findings are are sort of irrespective of what our findings would be, meaning that that instance could still come up under this section, even though d.h.r. has its own findings, and then it would be included in the section, meaning, just because d.h.r. does an investigation, does not necessarily take it out of our realm in terms of somebody engaging in discriminatory practices. >> the d.g.o. 1107 is for the workplace. and this provision just deals with policing. >> correct. to address your question, we would investigate those instances of biases against the community member.

workplace discrimination would be investigated by d.h.r. they would return their findings and recommendations to us and within then issue a recommendation and make -- may come before this commission depending on the level of discipline that is being imposed, but what i think this may tend to lead to as a bias complaint against a member of the community that may trigger because 1107 does not require another layer of review by e.e.o., which i don't think it does. they would say we have to send it back. i want to avoid confusion by including it here, that doesn't mean it takes the commission out of the discipline process. d.h.r. doesn't impose discipline, they just issued their findings and then it comes back to the commission for review. >> so your request is to delete the d.g.o. 1107 reference? >> correct. >> the time -- turned bias into scrum nation his fine. there is similar language in in a five-point 17.

>> yeah, leaving the bias, by striking out the d.g.o. 1107 that is covered in the next page

>> i think it is good point. it makes me think that we need to take this better to the working group and deal with just the implicit bias issue and figure out what kind of discipline we want to recommend to the commission because it doesn't fall squarely within that category, but it is something that may subject an officer to discipline. >> especially in light of the 96 report. >> right. [laughter] >> i don't know if we would all catch it, right? >> we certainly do in pith -- implicit biased training so we are aware of it, and we know it is an issue. it is good suggestion. let's take this off calendar. we will come back to it when we are ready and we will have that meeting off-line. i believe we still need public comments on line item for -- four. >> okay. , public comment. >> good evening.

i am listening to this situation and i'm thinking to myself, why is there such microscope on law enforcement while the bar association liars, minions expounding unlawful opinions part 1,000 times more so brutally problematic. >> just on the discipline guidelines, we are taking comments right now on the disciplinary guidelines. >> that is what i'm speaking to. >> the bar association had nothing to do with this. >> it is matter of, no i am looking at it, and unless you are seer or sage and you know what i will say, you should probably not interrupt. i am speaking specifically to this and you just took 20 seconds of my time. if you want to discourage people from speaking, instead of waiting for/four four hours to let them speak, you might consider giving them half an hour prior to your meeting starting time and let them say what they wish to say at 5:00 p.m. his route to have people wait all this time, but that is just my opinion.

regarding law enforcement and the disciplinary situations, i have written down here that you threw me off, not nice. there is blue silence and fierce silence with law enforcement to say certain things. within the system the way it is set up and controlled by the bar with harsh realities associated to it, i would submit you consider doing something more unique and in support of law enforcement that sees corruption and knows that they can't really say anything because if they do, they get terminated physically, so perhaps you can include discussion with the constitutional peace officer association as an outside source to come in and secure safety to officers that have something to complain about that otherwise would get them killed. law enforcement, there have been murders of law enforcement

officers over the decades, in far higher numbers by their own for speaking out, i support law enforcement 100% and the people that are corrupt and destructive within law enforcement are very small%, and yet they are very lethal. i say you should research it in support of law enforcement, instead of subjecting them to situation where they are psychologically, physically, and emotionally box into scenario where they can't come forward and address certain issues, whether they are charged with something, or they wish to share something that would be of benefit to others. and that is part of what i was looking to say.

and while law enforcement has sworn an oath to u.s. constitution, they cannot abide to it because of the extreme pressures of the bar association having control three branches of government as completely treasonous entity that changes the entire equation of what this country is supposed to be by and the way it is supposed to be like. law enforcement is -- >> leave it on for 15 minutes -- 20 seconds. >> go ahead. and so it is,

>> san francisco is surrounded on three sides by water. the fireboat station is integral to maritime rescue and preparedness not only for san francisco but for all of the bay area. >> fire station 35 was built in 1915, so it's over 100 years old. and behind it, we're going to build fireboat station 35. >> so the city's capital planning committee, i think

about three years ago, issued a guidance that all city facilities must resist sea level rise. >> fireboat station number 35, construction costs are approximately $30 million, and the construction is over complicated because the float, it's being fabricated in china and will be brought to treasure island where the building -- the actual fire station will be constructed on top of it, and then brought to pier 22 1/2 for installation. >> we are looking at late 2020 for completion of the fireboat float. the historic fire house will remain on the embarcadero. we will still respond out of the firehouse with our fire engine and respond to medical calls and other incidents

raratin the district. >> the if a sill has to incorpora incorporate five to 6 feet of sea level rise. it's built on a float that can move up and down as the water level rises, and so it's on four fixed guide piles, so as the seas go up, it wican move and down with the bay. it does have a full range of travel from low tide to high tide of about 16 feet. so that allows for current tidal movements as well as several extra feet for sea level rise in the coming decades. >> the fireboat station float will also incorporate a ramp for ambulance deployment and access. >> the access ramp is rigidly connected to the land side or more of a pivot or hinge connection, and then, it's sliding over the top of the float. so then that way, the ramp can,

you know, flex up and down like a hinge but also allow for a slight -- a few inches of lateral motion of the float. both the access ramps, of which there's two, and the utilities, need flexible connections when connecting from the float and back to the building. so interesting power, water, sewage, it all has flexible connections to the float. >> fireboat station 35 will provide room for three boats and one fire boot. >> we would like to establish a dedicated marine unit that would be able to respond to multiple incidents. looking into the future, we have not only at&t park, we have a lot of kayakers, but we also have a lot of developments on the southeast side, including the warriors stadium, and we want to have the ability

to respond to any marine or maritime incidents along all of these new developments. >> there's very few design references for people actually sleeping on the water. what we really looked to were cruise ships, which are, you know, larger structures, several times the size of station 35 but have a lot of people -- a lot of sleeping, but they're really the only good reference point. and so we looked to the cruise ship industry that has kind of an index for, you know, how ma many -- how much acceleration they can accommodate. >> it's very unique. i don't know about any other fire station built on the water in the united states. >> the fireboat's a regional asset that can not only be used for water rescue and stin wishment of fires, but we also do environmental cleanup. we have a special rigging that we carrie that will contain oil spills -- carry that will

contain oil spills until viermsal can come out. this is not a job, it is -- environmental can come out. this is not a job, it's a lifestyle, a community, and we're willing to help people any way we

>> they tend to come up here and drive right up to the vehicle and in and out of their car and into the victim's vehicle, i would say from 10-15 seconds is all it takes to break into a car and they're gone. yeah, we get a lot of break-ins in the area. we try to -- >> i just want to say goodbye. thank you. >> sometimes that's all it takes. >> i never leave anything in my car. >> we let them know there's been a lot of vehicle break-ins in

this area specifically, they target this area, rental cars or vehicles with visible items. >> this is just warning about vehicle break-ins. take a look at it. >> if we can get them to take it with them, take it out of the cars, it helps.
