and micromobility and hover boards and unicycles. market street being a great place to see the new vehicles on display. better understanding safety within the mobility modes and work more with our city family and seeing how safety can be advanced on our city fleets. d.p.h. is the lead on the data system. we were the first city to link and map our hospital data for prioritization on the high-injury network and 13% of city streets with 75% of severe injuries were concentrate. we'll be refreshing that network. doing more to highlight equity issues. focussing on work supporting integration of crash data ny warehouse to effective share the

data across departments and also issuing our annual report on severe injuries. we established our research collaborative to bring epidemiologists, trauma surgeons and nurses an analysts that representative the -- represent the breadth of the people working this side of it and the funds help us have a great foundation so as for example, scooters were launched under our city streets we were well poised to develop tracking systems to help evaluate the impacts of these new mobilities. finally measure progress is critical for our strategy. we have a number of key metrics and we'll do work this year to

make them more publicly transparent on our vision zero website. i work closely across agencies on the monitoring and i wanted to conclude to acknowledge that really an over arching theme is our vision zero core team cannot do this alone. it's an ambitious goal that requires city, community partner and working with our state and regional partner to advance the proven policies we know are required. i wanted to okay knowledge the staff across many divisions in the department i have the honor of coordinating with vision zero and i have on my co-chair and ryan reef -- reeves who recently had a little boy and is not here

today. i'm happy to respond to questions. >> commissioner: we have one public speaker. cathly delucca. >> she had to leave. the bay area family for safe streets meets tonight and that meeting started. >> commissioner: thank you for your presentation. commissioners, questions. >> this is a good report. i appreciate you coming and giving it to us on an annual basis. i have a question and comment. comment has to do with i spend a lot of time in the fillmore and on mission street and valencia street. on fillmore street there's a couple spots where it goes first and then people can cross and they're able to get across the street. how does m.t.a. to determine

where to put those because fillmore and pine is a raceway and doesn't have a delay nor community. how do you determine or make decisions on the timed lights. >> i'm so grateful to be able to co-lied an issue like this. >> i'm the traffic engineer with the sfmta. we tall -- call them leading pedestrian intervals. typically four sessions before we bring up the concurrent green. we have a large retiming project concentrated in the northeast quadrant of the city including the western addition, fillmore, knob hill, tenderloin touching

approximately one-third of our signals city wide and they'll be getting l.p.i.s for the crossings. we started implementation and we're on track for another year, year and a half to retime all 400 traffic signals. our standard right now is to install an l.p.i. by default when we touch a traffic signal unless there's a compelling reason. we have to balance the need of tra transit versus pedestrian but on the whole we're installing city wide. >> work with james and i'm the pedestrian program manager. important to note is those are part of a toolbox proven to save lives and we use the high injury network as our baseline where we put most of our energy in funding.

>> commissioner: thank you. commissioner green. >> do you have data on the extent where the accidents involve mobile devices and if drivers are looking at the phone in the middle of their dashboard figuring out which way to go and they're distracted though they're not conversing on the phone or texting per se. have these companies stepped up and volunteered to work collaboratively with you and how much would be regulation versus collaboration and what about data on the issue of texting and driving. >> the issue of texting and driving data i'll start with first is not easily kept.

by law enforcement it's not easily captured and the only way to assess it is with a search warrant and it's a concern but not well studied. we worked on a campaign and despite lack of data it's been a focus of national and state education outreach initiatives. we worked with them to use the best available data to inform the work. >> we would love and welcome any collaboration we could have with

the many drivers on the road for uber and lyft and any other transportation network company. we've been providing them with driver training videos for them to provide to drivers. we continue to work withing them -- with them go to other mobility services and bike share systems. we're hopeful they'll be partner at the table. that said, we can't regulate their vehicle so whether their vehicles are safe, we can't regulate whether the drivers have been provided with any training or regulate the drivers on the street in a given time. they're things we think are critical to safety and the ability they be interested in collaborating, we're available and otherwise we're looking for local regulatory authority. >> commissioner sanchez. >> i want to congratulate you on

the efforts and positive changes. i want to mention a couple things. i suggested and there's concerns for a number of folks including many of us, we're talking about w.g.c. and the school of the art. you is the 48 this way and traffic and people crossing. and red light when you're going by laguna honda or y.g.c. you'll have the busses stopped. the kids will get off and some kids, not all kids will cross immediately behind the bus, in front of the bus and stop traffic. bikes will go through the kids

whatever. and then have you even some of the lyft drivers letting passengers off right there in the crosswalk. you see people going where do we walk now. it's a real challenge. there were flashing lights and then it went back to normal and have you people not stopping and people going through and even seniors trying to run across the street in between to get to the other side because they know they'll have to wait a while. we go to laguna honda where we lost a reporter in the crosswalk where you walk from laguna honda

to the muni lines laguna honda and then you have to cross over and that's where the cars come around and though it says you don't turn right on red, some do and many patients there and is there a way to say that's a real zone we need to take a look at? we brought it up before and if you put a walkway over, no. but something needs to be done whether it's enforcement and not by y.g.c. but there's real potential areas we need to be concerned about and i

say i know you've been doing great parts but these are scary as we look at public safety and vision zero, etcetera. hopefully we continue to think creatively whatever it is to resolve that. >> you're hitting on to local tools that can address those issues and a lot of what you also described are congestion or issues with uber and lyft and speeding. as we're working to do what we can to look at the micro level these can help address the issues on a city wide scale. >> commissioner: commissioner bernal. >> thank you for the

presentation. this is an area of great concern. most of us know somebody who's been killed cutting mr. carasco we lost earlier this year. are there traffic calming or other strategy could be put in place we're not considering or there are barriers to using them in san francisco or are we employing every possible strategy out there? >> with respect to traffic engineering engineering improvements there's certain ones that are dictated by certain street conditions. i think san francisco, i know san francisco is leading wing implementation of different traffic calming measures and innovative improvements. to the extent that's a response

to your question and involved and there's transportation officials and our sfmta is leading and rethinking how urban streets can protect the most vulnerable. >> commissioner: i'm reminded we had a motion to support the automatic ticketing of the red lights that was a state issue to which we have no control. we're still fighting that, right? >> this year the state a zero deaths task force to advance the

issues but it's not going as fast we'd hoped and looking at automated enforcement etcetera to be discussed and we hope to be back next year to have a resolution to move forward with the policy. >> commissioner: i was hoping commissioner bernal can help. >> commissioner: i do have a concern that's perplexing. the system in chinatown on stockton street i think has worked very well. i was watching it this week. people don't cross unless they get the opportunity for the most part. it used to be theri it was running -- it was running across the street because the traffic was all porch it's ironic,

stockton street is almost empty because of construction and that could be a time people could cross and they're not. i think people have been trained to really wait for the slides. its also helps there's a traffic monitor on each corner being managed by the construction people on the subway. recently there's been new lights at pedestrian crossings sometimes at the middle of the street. one at the diamond heights shopping center. this is kind of confusing as a driver you don't know anybody's there. it may be something new. i'm wondering what the intent is because the lights flash and

nobody's in the crosswalk which might lend people to ultimately ignore these. it is a new feature and i'm trying to figure out how it's functioning. >> it's called a hawk signal. it's a human activated sorry, a reg -- sorry, a rectangular flashing beacon and they're activated by a person there. traditionally in most the signals in san francisco especially in the downtown in chinatown we assume someone is there who wants to go and deserve the opportunity to go and we say go ahead. in other areas of the city there may not be a pedestrian there at every cycle. it's intended to tell cars

there's somebody in the crosswalk and nay ned to stop. however, we've heard concerns about the beacons. i'm hearing new things on the street and we're constantly evolving our state of practice at m.t.a. if you prefer to the strategy -- refer the strategy. there's new videos about tools you're seeing on the street and we'll promote it through social media. i know that i last went to a d.m.v. for a driving test 20 years ago and i'm relatively young. i can only imagine how many people are there who haven't taken a test on the d.m.v. and we encourage anyone watching to check out our videos on driving in today's s.f. and we'll promote that gut in general, if

you see red, stop. if it's yellow, it means proceed with caution. that's our typical rule of thumb. >> i want to add one thing. that's a legitimate concern we time the flashing light sequence for the slowest walker two and a half feet per second somebody with disabilities an elderly and a more able-bodied walker walking at a faster speed is long gone and we want to ensure they're active for vulnerable users who are crossing. >> i'm sure with good intent i'm concerned people driving might find since many times it's empty they may ignore them.

>> it is nice to see the entire report. there are many things that you're in the process of doing and i think what you have shown is much of the work you're doing is showing results. we can only continue to encourage and support the vision zero program here. >> thank you. >> commissioner: it's thor for the safety of pedestrians and drivers. dr. chow. >> it's often hard to get within the department different groups working together and produce a positive outcome because of all the difference pieces. this is a remarkable example of different departments in the city working together with an equity-focussed outcome goal and

i think this is not just inherently valuable in the work being done but an example of how departments across the city can work together in different and new ways in order to further the public health goals and other shared goals of our communities. i'm proud of the work that's being done here. in my short tenure this is an inspiring initiative and proud the department is a good partner in this work. >> commissioner: thank you. i think director colfax is right. there's many initiatives. you're one of the two we came up with including the one on the incarceration of the jails. we're going need that same type of collaboration across our departments and e.m.s. with that attitude and if we can get the city continue to work together collaboratively the

city will benefit and our department will be able to continue to do the work it needs to do. thank you. thank you very much. we appreciate all the work you're doing and we'll remember you as we look at all the flashing yellow, red and once in a while a grown light. -- green light. >> item 10 is other business. >> commissioner: other business? >> clerk: you have the calendar before you. there's no surprises or anything to mention other than what's before you. >> commissioner: well, we have the calendar before us. does anybody wish to add anything to the calendar or any items before we go on to our next report? seeing none, we'll move on. >> clerk: item 11 is the report back from the march laguna honda

meeting. >> our g.c.c. met march 12 at laguna honda. the first was the executive administrator's report in which we discussed a number of issues range from diversion to safety to c.m.s. responses. many have taken 18 months to respond because it was back and forth and it covered the whole number of issues that had been from different sections of the c.m.s. group. that was presented and discussed and reviewed. we also had an excellent presentation of the safety prevention program and injuries and workplace violence. we had further on the epic implementation and had discussions including the collaboration with faculty with sfgh and laguna honda and a

great deal of discussion on what we'll be doing and approved the hospital-wide policies and procedures and updated which have taken three and a half year to what our standards should be based on the federal and state requirements. in closed session the committee approved the credentials report and additional matters were discussed but not voted upon. we adjourned in memory of our reporter, josé carasco who was killed and we heard it was a fatality there. it was last year our director was injured in a pedestrian crossing at golden gate park where three intersections

crossing three stop lights and three stop signs and she was injured and fractured. the main thing is everybody again is part of a village and everybody there was supportive services in the director's report. thank you for including that because it shows how everyone within the department think about our staff when bad things happen especially a young family with three children. we adjourn on that and that completes my report unless any of our two colleagues who were there would like -- >> thank you for chairing an important committee meeting. >> clerk: a motion for

adjournment is in order. >> commissioner: those in favor? opposed? this meeting is now adjourned.

>> chair fewer: the meeting will come to order. this is the march 20, 2019 meeting of the full budget and

finance committee. i am sandra fewer, chairman of the committee. i am joined by supervisors catherine stefani and raphael mandelman, he is on his way. a our clerk is miss wong. i would like to thank matthew ignau and michael balthazar and sfg sfgovtv for televising this meeting. madam clerk, do you have any announcements? >> clerk: please silence all cell phones and electronic devices. copies speaker cards and documents to be submitted -- includinged apart of the file

-- included as part of the file should be submitted to the clerk. >> chair fewer: thank you. madam clerk, please call the first item. [agenda item read]. >> chair fewer: this budget is up on the website for members of the public to review if you'd like. at the first meeting in april, this committee will be presented with a five-year financial plan as well as a ten-year capital plan. each of the remaining meetings in april will be focused on hearings on the board's budget priorities where we will hear departmental presentations on the current funding levels, partners, and programs. the intention of each of these hearings is to deepen our

understanding of the current status and funding gaps for each priority articulated by the board. on may 8, there will be a fourth budget hearing on priorities identified by two or more members of the board through the but jelt and legislative analyst's service process. my office will be scheduling hearings for key departments in june. colleagues, please let me know if there are any particular departments you'd like to hear from in may. more details will be coming in terms of the june schedule, and my office will be updating the calendar periodically with more details. the calendar is available at sfbos.org. the link is budget information. colleagues, any discussion? if not, i'd like to turn this

over to dan gonchar from the b.l.a. >> hi. my name is don gonchar, and i will be presenting a brief overview on the budget's priorities. a total of 13 priority issues were identified by supervisors through an informal survey, and we will be researching and reporting on five of the areas, including public safety, housing, homelessness, mental health and substance abuse, and on this slide, you'll see that i believe that the schedule is for public safety to be heard on the 10th, housing and homelessness to be heard on the 17th, and mental health and

substance abuse to be heard on the 24. for public safety, supervisors have identified car break-ins, additional police officer positions, restraining orders, security for muni operators, prevention and response measures, multilingual community ambassadors and officers as well as block safety groups. for homelessness, the issues -- the subissues that have been identified by supervisors include capacity for bed and housing units, including supportsive housing, including accelerating shelter beds that have already been made. for shelters, the subareas, subdivision, antidisplacement measures, specialized housing for seniors, people with disabilities and veterans and workforce housing. and finally for mental health and substance abuse,

supervisors have identified the following subissues that they'd like the budget and legislative analysts to look at treatment beds, 5150 holds, and an increase in psychiatrists and intensive case managers. in addition to the issues that we will be presenting on in april, three issues were mentioned by two or more supervisors, including clean and green streets, minute make up organization funding to assist nonprofits and small business support. it is my understanding that a hearing is scheduled for may 8 to discuss these other policy priorities and potentially additional. so i also wanted to give a little more detail on what you'll be seeing on reports

from our office. we'll be researching data in the area, including the status of available programs, historical spending of these programs, performance measures to measure how successful we've been in addressing them, and identification of funding impact opportunities, and i want to go into little more detail on each of these. we're going to be providing background on appropriate programs across the city, including the department that oversee the programs, as well as the program's history, goals, and service populations. for example, for homelessness, last year, we provided a background on the department of homelessness and supportive housings two major pilot programs, the on-line pilot and navigation system and coordinated entry. we also provided information on the homeless veterans prams, emergency services and exit from homelessness programs.

we'll also provide an overview of relative spending with an emphasis on overview and spending and a breakdown whenever possible. regarding performance measures, we will collect and summarize relevant official performance measures as reported by the controller's city performance unit, which is housed in the city service auditor's division. nod to that, we'll be speaking with departments about other potential performance measures that they collect but that are not reported by the controller's office or that may not readily available. and now i'll quickly go over the performance measures that we have preliminarily identified for each of the policy areas. the question came up last week about these, so for public safety, we've preliminarily

identified crime rates including property versus violent crime rates, property crime by type, as well as investigation clearance rates, response times to calls for service and temporary restraining order service completion rates. for housing, we've preliminarily identified the bay area housing regional needs assessment. in addition to that we'll be looking at the goaled outlined in the mayor's office of housing and community development housing plan and strategic plan, such as number of units created by type. none of units preserved or maintained, increased affordability of rental housing, increased opportunity for sustainable home ownership, increased accessibility of rental and home ownership and

increased rate of evictions. for home ownership we've identified the number of families receiving rental subsidy, the number of individuals leaving homelessness due to placement and permanent supportive housing. the number of individuals reunited with friends and family through home ward bound. the percent of case managed families in shelters that are placed in permanent or transitional housing, enter a treatment program or are reyouity intoed with family. the number of individuals some treatment or placement after one year, and the available of year-round single adult shelter beds and those used. for the last priority, mental health and substance abuse services. we've identified several targets and we'll be looking at them compared to what the actual delivery has been,

including the number of unique mental health clients in treatment, the percentage of new mental health clients that are homeless, total units of mental health services provided, mental health services patients under 19, the number of unique substance abuse clients in treatment, the percentage of homelessness clients among substance abuse treatment admissions, and the total units of substance abuse treatment services provided, and we'll also be looking at program measures, measures that are specific to programs, including crisis residential services, long-term care residential services and out patient services, and under substance abuse measures, we'll be looking at narcotic replacement treatment, residential services and outpatient services. and finally, in our reports, you'll be seeing iif impact opportunities, and the way that we're going to be going about

this is we're going to be looking at high impact budget impact opportunities by soliciting ideas from department staff, reviewing recent audit recommendations that address these issues, and reviewing last year's budget priority reports for previously recommends enhancements that have not been under taken, and that concludes my presentation. i'm happy to take any questions or comments. >> chair fewer: yes, supervisor stefani. >> supervisor stefani: thank you, chair fewer. on the mental health and substance abuse slide, you said the following subissues have been identified by supervisors: outreach services, increased capacity of residential treatment beds for individuals under 5150 holds or who present a danger to themselves or others. and then, of course increase in psychiatrists and intensive case managers. i would like to add something else, which is not those -- not more beds for 5150 holds, but

beds like hummingbird place. how many more do we need? we had a hearing in public safety last week, focusing on what happened when people are no longer a danger to themselves or others under a 5150 hold, and a lot of times they're being released back onto the streets. we had a discussion of how many more beds we might get to help that population in a way that gets them the help that they need or gets them to the next level of services. so if we could focus on that, step-down beds like hummingbird place. and then, the other slide i was looking at, b.l.a. analysis, b.l.a. will conduct analysis on each priority, including status of established programs. and i'm wondering if you're going to look at an analysis with other counties. sometimes -- i don't know if you've done that before or if you do that when we ask you

specifically on certain subject matter. i think san francisco provides more units of supportive housing than any other city, really, i think. but maybe we can talk about that. i don't know if that would be helpful. i don't know -- i'd like to hear if my colleagues think that's helpful. and then, i had one more question. on the performance measures, on mental health substance abuse services, is last line, this total use of substance abuse treatment services provided, and i'm just wondering how many beds do we have for detox centers, and then, residential treatment and also s.l.e.s, sober living environments. i'm not sure -- there's a plethora of substance abuse treatment services here, and it would be really nice to know what we have in terms of all of that that targets substance

abuse. >> yes. so that and the other bullet points on this slide are roll ups of -- i believe they're roll ups of more detailed targets, and i don't have that in front of me right now, but i could provide that to you after the hearing. >> supervisor stefani: okay. thanks. that's all i have right now. thank you, chair fewer. >> chair fewer: thank you. supervisor walton? >> supervisor walton: thank you very much, and thank you for compiling all the analysis from the board of supervisors. i do have just a question on the housing slide. as we talked about the subissues that have been identified, and i know that some of these do address affordable housing, but there's not a bullet point or subissue that has been identified as strictly affordable housing. is there a reason for that or -- >> yeah, because i probably should have been a little bit

more descriptive in describing this priority area, but when we say housing, i think what we're really talking about is affordable housing. so we can refer to it as that going forward, but i think that all these fall under that umbrella. >> i think it's just very important to highlight so that we don't -- so that everyone knows and sees. >> thank you. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. supervisor mandelman. >> supervisor mandelman: yeah. i -- actually, i was going to make another point but i wanted to reiterate and echo what supervisor walton says housing could be how could we incentivize more treatment and production. i think that we really want to hone in on opportunities for subsidized housing, for stuff that is not necessarily the market and the ways in which

the public sector can assist, so i think it is important to talk about affordable housing. on sort of -- i guess on both public safety and mental health and substance abuse, i think something i'm interested in, but i'm not sure it's a measure that you're going to be looking at is cycling. so folks who are cycling in and out of jail, who are getting 5150's and getting 5150'ed over time, so i would be looking at success measures and looking going forward at interventions that we could use that -- part of public safety is reducing the lyinglihood that someone else who has experience with the criminal justice system has that experience again, and we know that a lot of people are having experiences like that over and over again, and so what are the budgetary interventions we can do that. related to that, it's not

explicitly called that, but it's something we have to figure out what to do in lieu of the jail. and i think having those conversations are related. and then, i do want to also echo supervisor stefani's notion that we might -- that it could be useful to look at how other -- san francisco leads in a whole lot of areas, but i'm not sure that we've cornered the market on good ideas, so maybe checking out how other counties may be dealing with things differently would be useful. and on the 5150's for me, very much, i'm looking at ways to measure our success in reducing the number of times the same person gets 5150'ed. >> chair fewer: thank you. supervisor mar? >> supervisor mar: thank you, chair fewer. yeah. i just had a few points and -- or questions about housing --

or the affordable housing priority area, as well. and more specifically around whether we can include the distribution of affordable housing projects and -- and -- and dollars among the different districts in san francisco as another subissue. and -- yeah, and performance evaluation. and i'm just raising this because the board recently had received reports from the -- first from the planning department around the housing balance that -- the housing balance report. then, also, more recently from the mayor's office of housing, the housing preference programs. i think within the discussion of those reports among the board, i think it was really highlighted how certain districts, particularly on the west side, have not received the same level of investment in affordable housing programs as other districts, and -- and

when it comes to housing preferences and -- and the -- we've created a preference for -- a neighborhood preference for access to affordable housing, that really means that residents in my district and district four and other -- and i think more specifically district one and district seven did not have access to the housing preference because there were no preferable affordable housing projects in our district. so i guess the question is can you also include -- >> yeah, we can include those. >> supervisor mar: okay. thank you. >> chair fewer: thank you. i was also going to say about geographic cal equity in district funds, but housing homeless funds. and then, i would like to go to public safety and follow up on our discussion that we had some depth last year about the civilianization of police

positions. so as we're talking about additional police officers' positions, i'd like a report back on how many of those positions that had been civilianized. we had a great discussion about that last time. and then under public safety, recently, we know that we had eight fatalities already on our streets, that i would like to add to public safety and vision zero and our sfpd traffic unit. i think that it's timely now. we are not going to meet our vision zero goals unless we see what kind of investments are going to be made. i'm assuming that public safety will not just be sfpd but it will also include our district attorney's office. is that correct? >> i -- i don't believe that we are reporting on anything at the moment on the district attorney. >> chair fewer: i just think it's related, when we talk about how many arrests are made but we don't talk about how

many convictions are secured. i think public safety has been on the minds of many of our residents has also been on the minds, narcotic sales and what measures and resources have been put to that. i think last time in budget, there were six people in the narcotics unit, so an update on that. another thing, when supervisor mandelman talked about those recycling in and out, could i have that data by race. thank you very much. >> we will try to follow up on that. >> chair fewer: okay. that would be great. it will give us an idea i think who are these people cycling in and out. yeah, then, i think that's it. i would say -- you know, we don't want to load up your to do list, and i know that everyone probably has -- after we look at this and maybe talk

to our colleagues or our staff that we may have more suggestions on maybe help us to dive a little deeper with information. is there a deadline that we should get this information to you by? >> ideally, it would be -- >> chair fewer: yesterday? that was a joke. >> maybe a couple weeks before the hearing. >> chair fewer: okay. that's great. >> so with public safety, that's coming up pretty soon. >> chair fewer: so we should get that in by the end of next week maybe. >> yeah, without seeing a calendar in front of me, yeah, i think so. >> chair fewer: okay. that's great. anything else? oh, yes, supervisor stefani? >> supervisor stefani: thanks, chair fewer, and i want to echo chair fewer's comments on the civilianization. i'm interested, as well, to continue that conversation. i'm interested if you could look at the number of retirements in the police department, as well. and also, the academy classes

that we funded, whether or not they're full and how many people have graduated and are graduating just so we get a sense of our investment and if we're able to fill those academy classes, and just retirement, how many people are leaving the police force, as well. thanks. >> supervisor fewer: and i'd like to piggyback also on what supervisor stefani just said, i see the multilingual community ambassadors and community officers. i'd like to know the rath and ethnic background of those officers and their language capablities. because i think that that has been brought before the board before that we should be prioritizing the skills of these officers. okay. supervisor mar? nothing? nothing to add onto the list?

okay. thank you very much. okay. so i would like to continue this item -- oh, public comment. are there any members of the public that would like to comment on this issue? seeing none, public comment is now closed. golf golf. >> chair fewer: i'd like to make a motion to continue this to the call of the chair. could i have a second, please? seconded by supervisor mandelman, and we can take that without objection, and madam clerk, is there any other business before us today? >> clerk: no other business. >> chair fewer: thank you very much. meeting's adjourned.

>> everything is done in-house. i think it is done. i have always been passionate about gelato. every single slaver has its own recipe. we have our own -- we move on

from there. so you have every time a unique experience because that slaver is the flavored we want to make. union street is unique because of the neighbors and the location itself. the people that live around here i love to see when the street is full of people. it is a little bit of italy that is happening around you can walk around and enjoy shopping with gelato in your hand. this is the move we are happy to provide to the people. i always love union street because it's not like another commercial street where you have big chains. here you have the neighbors. there is a lot of stories and the neighborhoods are essential. people have -- they enjoy having their daily or weekly gelato. i love this street itself.

>> we created a move of an area where we will be visiting. we want to make sure that the area has the gelato that you like. what we give back as a shop owner is creating an ambient lifestyle. if you do it in your area and if you like it, then you can do it

>> ladies and gentleman, the chair has called the meeting to order. turn off your electronic devices. can you please rise for the pledge of allegiance. >> i pledge allegiance to the flag of the united states of america and to republic for which it stands. >> good evening, everybody, this is the march 202,019th meeting of the san francisco police commission. we have a heavy closed session so i'll limit public comment to two minutes and we are ready for the first item. >> commissioner, i would like to call
