figures, but i think mark twain has a good quote for this particular day. good things come to those who wait if you don't die in the meantime. and i think a lot of us have a few gray hairs since prop k passed in 2003 for the b.r.t., the geary b.r.t., but here we are, and i'm really excited about this, and i'm really excited to look around the room and see so many people that were part of this process. and i know i've talked to a few of you, and you all remember the meetings that we would have year and year, and they were up in the cathedral, and i think someone reminded me, one meeting -- community meeting, someone stole the comment box. so -- yes, yes. so this has been a journey. but i'm very excited about this project.

you know, the geary b.r.t. has 54,000 riders a day. so if we're able to save two minutes of every san francisco ride, that's 18,000 hours a week. that is 75 days a year that we save san franciscans. that's pretty amazing. if -- this is something that mayor breed and i have dealt with for years, the safety of the geary boulevard through vanness through stannion, and i know she had talked about it, but there has been tragedies. people have been hit and killed there, and it's something that we've looked at, everybody has looked at it, how to make it safer. the geary boulevard has eight times as many collisions as anywhere else in the city, and that's disturbing when you think about that. so what is exciting about the geary b.r.t. is it actually

will be working on pedestrians safety. and just adjacent here to japantown, it's going to be happening, and that's exciting, and so many of you in this room have been fighting for this for years. and it also is going to bridge the community back together with japantown and the western addition that was separated by this huge busy freeway and redevelopment, and something that we're going to make good onto bring these communities closer together with this kind of pedestrian safety. so i wanted to thank everyone for coming, and i want to thank sfmta and all their great staff that has put up with all of us through these years. and i say let's get the -- let's get it started. and i think this is the ground breaking. i'm not really sure -- or we're

planting something, not really sure. either way, thank you, everyone, and we'll see you soon. [applause] >> good afternoon, everybody. i'm malcolm heinicke. i'm the chair of the sfmta board. it's very nice to be in this building not yelling at my daughter to dribble more with her left-hand. so thank you all for indulging. it's great to have a school like rosa parks named after our community's history. my fellow director on the board, art torres is here. you may remember him as a state senator, leader of the california democratic party. also went to church with rosa. he has wonderful stories of her. i think it's great that we have

our own pioneer from the neighborhood here today as our mayor. mayor breed, it's really a privilege to call you our mayor. [applause] >> so in addition to being nice to the mayor, what qualifies me to be the chair of the sfmta -- she didn't appoint me, but i really just respect her in her own right, of course, is that i ride the system every day. it is my primary form of transportation. i get to work, i get to the gym, i get to my children's events on muni. and i live in a part of town where i can ride the underground. i ride the metro every day. when it works, most of the time, i have a ten-minute commute free of obstruction, and i feel like a real san franciscan. i'm not polluting the air, i'm not congesting the streets, and i'm taking, quite frankly, is what is the most efficient

route for me. i want that experience for all san franciscans, and here, on geary street, as the supervisor mentioned, we have 54,000 customers a day. 54,000 customers who don't have the free, unobstructed ride that i do, at least not now. mayor breed is exactly right. we could have made choices earlier, but going back in history doesn't help us. making the right choices now does help us. so with mayor breed's leadership and the leadership of my fellow directors, i'm proud to be delivering a product that as i've said many times before will be the above-ground subway for our residents. it will priev efficient service and hopefully, the folks who ride this will have the same feeling i have about my commute. this is the most efficient and attractive way to go. that's how we will reduce

congestion, pollution, and accidents. now, this isn't just a transit efficiency project, this is a very significant and broad project that as director reiskin said will increase pedestrian safety, increate cyclist access and of course make the overall system work much better. so i am very proud to be here as we move around some dirt in planters to signify the opening of this project which is really just going to be fantastic and serve these customers so well. and -- and one of the things i get to do here, i have the privilege of introducing director nuru to you all, this is a partnership. sfmta works not only with the mayor's office but with our partners in other departments, including the department of public works to bring all these projects together, and we're so grateful for that partnership over the years. and i will say personally, i've been doing this now for 12.5

years, i'm grateful for all the support you've shown us over the years. please, come celebrate with us. [applause] >> chair nuru: thank you, director heinicke, thank you, mayor breed, thank you, director reiskin. i want to begin by just taking this opportunity to reiterate our commitment from san francisco public works to the city's vision zero goal of making the streets safer for all users, whether you're driving, you're biking, or you're in transit. every traffic fatality here in our city is heartbreaking. and when we lose someone, whether it's a neighbor or classmate or someone, these are situations that are frankly unacceptable and preventible. and so i'm excited about the improvements that are coming to

geary boulevard. and as the population in our city continues to climb, our city is getting more congests and, we have to double down on our efforts to make our streets much safer and improve the transportation infrastructure. one of the exciting parts for us is while we are improving the transportation infrastru infrastructure, we are going to be improving many of the sewer and water lines along geary, which will be ensuring the customers and businesses that you will continue to have quality utilities. the geary b.a.r.t. -- b.r.t. is making safer crossings, making greater visibility between traffic and pedestrians, and slowing the traffic down in our

city, which is something our city really needs. we will also be repaving a significant part of geary so that people who drive will have a much smoother and safer experience while they're driving on geary -- on geary boulevard. this project is a major undertaking, and we heard that many agencies are involved, but also, a huge partnership with the community, so -- that have been involved in bringing the project to fruition, and at this time, i would ask tilly chang from the transportation authority who's been a major partner to say a few words. [applause] >> thank you so much, mohamed, mayor breed, and honored guests. i'm so delighted to be here on behalf of the transportation authority to congratulation the sfmta and our partner agencies on this very happy day, and the entire community, really, for this collaborative effort.

as mayor breed mentioned, this has been a long time coming, and recognizing that the plans began well over 30 years ago as well as the vision for this area. this muni vision was expressed as early as the 2001 plan, carried forward in 2003, and then carried forward by voters in the prop k expenditure plan. because we all recognize to bring the community back together and heal the division that had been created through the earlier development of the division section, but also improve the ridability for the 50,000 riders who use this essential corridor every day. so i just wanted to recognize all the hard work on this project, from board members past and present, c.a.c. members past and present, and i see many of them here in the audience today.

i'll just recognize a few, ben horn, richard hashimoto from japantown. i'm sorry if i missed a few others. we welcome the community effort from the members, the merchants, the riders, and you're seeing the fruit of that collaboration in the designs that are kicking off today. of course, this is an essential transit safe reliability and travel time improvements, as supervisor brown mentioned in fantastic fashion with the 75 days a year of travel savings when you add it all up, but it's a significant safety project and a way to knit the community together. i just want to thank all the hard work that my team and many

others across the city family have devoted in all the hours and the outreach and the funding phase, and working with groups like the japantown task force and fillmore communities and the merchants such as everything from the cpmc which just very happily opens at the intersection of vanness and geary to the smaller businesses and the medium sized businesses in the japantown area, the fillmore, all those folks who will be able to be confident that we have safe and accessible routes to essential transit services for the commuters again and everybody who relies on this important line. so i just want to thank everyone for your hard work, your collaboration. mayor breed, thank you. especially when you were on the board of supervisors to challenging us to really work with the community to ensure that we were listening to them, whether it was the laguna stop, whether it was the western street bridge, whether it was

making sure that we were maintaining access for everyone and preserving as much parking as we were. i think we were able to maintain 95% of the parking along the corridor. these are really important features that we can ensure a complete project. we were even able to ensure north-south travel and integrate the masonic project. so i thank all the agencies and p.u.c. now. we're really going to be able to upgrade the p.u.c. infrastructure. we were able to provided about $13 million in local fund along with g.o. funding to collaborate on this project. i want to make sure we gather very soon, i think in 2021 for the ribbon cutting to celebrate this important improvement but also ahead to delivering the full project together in the coming years. thank you so much.

five, four, three, two, one. here we go. [cheers and applause]

>> the goal is simple. it's to raise women's voices. >> learn a little bit about what you should be thinking about in the future. >> we had own over 300 -- over 300 people who signed up for the one-on-one counseling today. >> i think in the world of leading, people sometimes discount the ability to lead quietly and effectively.

the assessor's office is a big one. there are 58 counties in the state of california and every single county has one elected assessor in the county. our job is to look at property taxes and make sure that we are fairly taxing every single property in san francisco. one of the big things that we do is as a result of our work, we bring in a lot of revenue, about 2.6 billion worth of revenue to the city. often, people will say, what do you do with that money, and i like to share what we do with property taxes. for every dollar we collect in property taxes, about 68 cents of it goes to support public sstss, our police officers, our

fire departments, our streets, our cleaning that happens in the city. but i think what most people don't know is 34 cents of the dollar goes to public education. so it goes to the state of california and in turn gets allocated back to our local school districts. so this is an incredibly important part of what we do in this office. it's an interesting place to be, i have to say. my colleagues across the state have been wonderful and have been very welcoming and share their knowledge with me. in my day-to-day life, i don't think about that role, being the only asian american assessor in the state, i just focus on being the best i can be, representing my city very well, representing the county of san francisco well. by being the only asian american assessor, i think you have a job to try to lift up and bring as many people on board, as well. i hope by doing the best that you can as an individual,

people will start to see that your assessor is your elected leaders, the people that are making important decisions can look like you, can be like you, can be from your background. i grew up with a family where most of my relatives, my aunties, my uncles, my parents, were immigrants to the united states. when my parents first came here, they came without any relatives or friends in the united states. they had very little money, and they didn't know how to speak english very well. they came to a place that was completely foreign, a place where they had absolutely nobody here to help them, and i can't imagine what that must have been like, how brave it was for them to take that step because they were doing this in order to create an opportunity for their family. so my parents had odd jobs, my dad worked in the kitchens, my mom worked as a seamstress sewing. as we grew up, we eventually

had a small business. i very much grew up in a family of immigrants, where we helped to translate. we went to the restaurant every weekend helping out, rolling egg rolls, eating egg rolls, and doing whatever we need to do to help the family out. it really was an experience growing up that helped me be the person that i am and viewing public service the way that i do. one of the events that really stuck with me when i was growing up was actually the rodney king riots. we lived in southern california at the time, and my parents had a restaurant in inglewood, california. i can remember smelling smoke, seeing ashes where we lived. it was incredibly scary because we didn't know if we were going to lose that restaurant, if it was going to be burned down, if it was going to be damaged, and it was our entire livelihood. and i remember there were a lot of conversations at that time around what it was that

government to do to create more opportunities or help people be more successful, and that stuck with me. it stuck with me because i remain believe government has a role, government has a responsibility to change the outcomes for communities, to create opportunities, to help people go to school, to help people open businesses and be successful. >> make sure to be safe, and of course to have fun. >> and then, i think as you continue to serve in government, you realize that those convictions and the persons that you are really help to inform you, and so long as you go back to your core, and you remember why you're doing what you're doing, you know, i think you can't go wrong. it's funny, because, you know, i never had thought i would do this. i became a supervisor first for the city under very unusual circumstances, and i can remember one day, i'm shopping with friends and really not having a care in the world about politics or running for office or being in a public position, and the next day, i'm sworn in and serving on the

board of supervisors. for many of us who are going through our public service, it's very interesting, i think, what people view as a leader. sometimes people say, well, maybe the person who is most outspoken, the person who yells the loudest or who speaks the loudest is going to be the best leader. and i think how i was raised, i like to listen first, and i like to try to figure outweighs to work with -- out ways to work with people to get things done. i hope that time goes on, you can see that you can have all sorts of different leaders whether at the top of city government or leading organizations or leading teams, that there are really different kinds of leadership styles that we should really foster because it makes us stronger as organizations. >> take advantage of all the wonderful information that you have here, at the vendor booth, at our seminars and also the one-on-one counseling. >> i wouldn't be where i was if i didn't have very strong people who believed in me.

and even at times when i didn't believe in my own abilities or my own skills, i had a lot of people who trusted and believed i either had the passion or skills to accomplish and do what i did. if there was one thing that i can tell young women, girls, who are thinking about and dreaming about the things they want to be, whether it's being a doctor or being in politics, running an organization, being in business, whatever it is, i think it's really to just trust yourself and believe that who you are is enough, that you are enough to make it work and to make things successful. >> shop and dine in the 49 promotes local businesses, and challenges residents to do their shopping within the 49 square miles of san francisco. by supporting local services in our neighborhood, we help san francisco remain unique, successful, and vibrant. so where will you shop and dine in the 49?

we're down 10%. we also have a 19% reduction in gun violence from this year to last year. so we had a busy week which i'll get to a little bit later in my report on significant incident. our total property crime is down 16% year to date including an a reduction since 2017 year to date this time when we were dealing with our auto burglaries we are down so we're pleased with that. we had a couple major cases, homicide that occurred last week. on the eighth homicide of the year the shooting occurred last wednesday but the victim passed away a week later.

the 19-year-old was transported to the hospital. and it happened near l.a. county. a felly -- felony warrant was on his vehicle and at 3:31 in the morning the suspect was seen by the california highway patrol which involved a shooting and he was arrested for the murder and assault on the highway patrol officers. this is based on a warrant our investigators issued on that case. he is still in custody in san bernardino county. our ninth homicide occurred march 30th. at third and pasada.

the victim was crossing the street mid street when a suspect vehicle drove up and the passenger pointed a gun and fired shots at the victim. it's believed there were as many as three suspects in the vehicle. the incident was captured on surveillance cameras in the area, private owned surveillance cameras and our investigators are work that up. the victim in this case is a 26-year-old male and another male was shot and injured but is expected to survive his injuries. we had a major traffic collision also on march 31st that resulted in a fatality. this was the result of a collision as vehicles were ration up and down bayshore towards the 101 freeway. the vehicle turned on the freeway, hit a cron -- concrete

barrier and the vehicle following the lead vehicle that crashed into the lead vehicle the driver of the lead vehicle was seriously hurt and the passenger had minor injuries and there was a 31-year-old injury in the back seat who was severely injured and later died and the driver of the vehicle is in custody and the investigation is ongoing but we expect charges to be filed on that particular incident. we have the opening of the giants starting this friday and we'll be deployed and we expect a lot of fans to enjoy opening day. there are games throughout the weekend. we also have a couple of marches over the weekend but the giants is the headliner for this weekend so we definitely will be deployed for that.

that is the first part of the report. it's fairly short but in the interest of time i know the 96a f follow-up is not part of my report. i'll take questions from the commission on the first part of my report and take the follow-up on 96a. >> any questions on what we heard so far? >> you said we that'd ninth homicide this week. do we have nine homicides in a two-week period? >> no, just two in the two-week period. one shooting on the 25th and the person died on the 26th and the other one that saturday. >> thank you. >> now we'll present the follow-up. several commissioners had questions regarding our 96a reports and the resulting statistics and data. i'm going to open this up with an introduction on what we accomplish tonight. i know several of the commission members had questions and i'll

list those questions out. i have commander teresa ngyen and they'll get to more details so if you guys want to come on up and set up and i'll introduce basically what we plan to present tonight. as i said, the commission requested a follow-up on the administrative 96a report that was presented to the commission last month. among the topics that we were asked to follow-up on were the following. more analysis on the number of african americans and other people of color stopped for arrest and how we're analyzing the figures and procedures and protocols. what plans and steps is the department taking to analyze the numbers. what is the department going to do about the disparities and

what best practices will the department develop to address the situation. how does the department view the high number of african american in 9-1-1 calls and where is the traffic stop data collection and what is the department to address why the numbers are higher when it comes to men of color and an additional question from the commission is does the department keep a database showing the demographics of the alleged victims. i want to begin by asking the questions head on and add contextbury turn it over to -- before i turn it over. as to the first question about analysis and the disproportional number of african americans and people of color. we internally analyze these reports in many ways.

the statistics and there's a lot of numbers and a lot of data. in addition, we have other information we analyze. one thing we're trying to establish and the commanders will get into the partner that we're work to and captain ford is establishing benchmarks that will put sense to the data. and some of the academic partner that we're work with, hopefully when those reports will be released in the coming months, we'll have better benchmarking to have a more contextual picture of what the data means and you can slice it up many ways. we've done a lot of analysis on our own on it. the important thing is to partner with people who understand data and have it corrected benchmarks we have an understanding of what it means and what we need to do to move

forward. we do analyze the 96a report and meet out in and discuss it. what we're trying to do per the d.o.j. recommendations is work with experts in this field to have better data and benchmarki benchmarking so we can make more sense of it and determine what it means to our department and what we need to do moving forward. part of what i'll introduce and have the captain follow-up is the road map in what we plan to do and there's six themes to this. we have a road map and it doesn't just start. it started several years ago with some of the policy changes that allow for better data. commission is a big part of that driving policy changes and some will drive issues to the forefront that will make the situation improve.

also best practices. we know there's research out there and studies that have been done on other commissions that have yielded some practices and some we're in the process of adopting hoping to address disparities and hopefully drive it down. how does the department view the high number of african americans subject to the 9-1-1 calls. we don't really have a method to tracking we do know there's disproportionate numbers in terms of who gets called on. in other words, who the suspects are the public is calling upon

routinely about 60% of the suspects are identified as people of color by the public who's calling thanked the african american demographic is usually consistently over 42%. so we have no control over that but we do have to respond to the calls and there are thing we do and need to do and are doing to make sure that when we get to these calls we use independent judgment and we're not impacted by whatever the caller's perceptions are. so the answer to that question we do collect some data on who calls particularly when it makes its way to an incident report but we don't have demographic data in terms of 9-1-1 calls in tems of race or gender of callers. is it data from the collection programs? it's from all sorts of information, traffic stops, field interviews, arrests,

incident reports. everything that goes in the crime data warehouse is called out and that's the data the 96a comes from and the stops recorded that is then translated into the 96a report. what is the sfpd's plan to address why these numbers are higher for men of color and use of force we have a road map to try to get to a better place and a better understanding and impact on the issue. commander ewings and captain ford will talk more about that. is the department keep a database showing the demographics of alleged victims? that we don't do. the calls as we know go into the department of emergency management and they don't keep a database of demographics. we don't have the capability to

discern anything from that information because we don't keep that information. when using demographics as a benk -- benchmark there's a number of people of color subjected to force and arrested. one thing want to talk about is when we benchmark these numbers to the demographics of the actual calls, they're pretty close in line to the demographics of calls, in other words, when you look at the percentage of persons of color whether they be african americans, hispanics or asians, that the public that calls in are listed as subjects they're in line with the arrest numbers and use of force numbers as well as the detention numbers. actually, the detention numbers

are slightly lower. nonetheless, it's still an issue for our city and a national issue. there's a lot of research about this issue on a national scale. we see some of the same thing on a national scale and that's not to make an excuse but toss point out this issue goes beyond the san francisco police department and this is one of the driving forces that causes some tension between communities and this city and other places across the country. and police department. so we do know it's an issue and we know it's a difficult issue to both discern and take on but we want to avoid the question and discussion and we're make steps to make the situation better. we realize the status quo is not

good enough when it comes to this issue. what we plan to do is introduce and articulate our road map of how we plan to the issue and comes up to respecting safety and all we serve and doing everything in our power that bias whether implicit or explicit in our policing is not a driving factor in this issue. with that there's six teams commander ewings and captain ford will talk about and it begins with constitutional policing, training, oversight, accountability, community partnership. those are the six teams. several of these teams focus on really collecting, analyzing, using, sharing data. others focus on developing our people in training and accountability, community partnerships and developing

relationships we know will drive some of the cultural change we'll need to address the issue and address disproportionality. before i turn this over and this is just a trend analysis on use of force and has been presented to the commission before but i want to reiterate the commission works hard and took a long time to develop and adopt the use of force policy at the tail end of 2016. in the year 2016 we had 3,378 use of forces. 2017 it was down 26% and down, 2018 it was down to 2702. if you compare 2016 to 2018 we see a 28% decrease in total use of force. to dial that down further, when you look at the demographics and i'll look at african americans

because that is several of the questions 2016 to 2017, there was a 25% reduction in use of force on african americans in the city and 2017 to 2018 an 11% reduction and when you look at 2016 to 2018 a 34% reduction. so what i want to point out here is that the reduction in that particular demographic really outpaved the total reduction in use of force and i think that's a sign of progress for us and i think that's something hopefully everybody's pleased with. the hispanic demographic held steady from 2016 to 2017 as far as that demographic. there was a 21% reduction in 2016 to 2017 in use of force when hispanics were subject of the force and a 9% reduction from 2017 to 2018 and overall from 2016 to 2018 when you look at a two-year window there was a

28% reduction among hispanics. again, i think that's progress. it's definitely by no means the answer. i think it is progress in terms of what we are trying to do. overall we want to reduce use of force and reduce the disparities in disproportionate numbers. last thing, in terms of this road map and the six teams i talked about, i just want to point out, constitutional policing is the thread that goes through all of this. we examined the data and our attention and arrest and use of force. we have to do what we do constitutionally and our training speaks to that and procedural justice training speaks to that. training also we are training on enhancing our field tactics which we believe will have an impact in this area and we're

also training on social and procedurally just tactic. and we'll talk about our procedural justice training that satisfied that. transparency was another thing. really measuring what matters and not only having good data but also, i talked about the benchmarks and working with academic partner to -- partners to make sure we know what we're looking at and we have a lot of data. i spent hours and days look thaeths reports and -- looking at the reports and it's a lot of data and we have to make sense how it relate to this and have to provide that analysis to the public. i think we made many strides in that regard. they're going to explain what those steps have been and what they are in the future. oversight. that's starts with this commission who is the oversight body of our department. also, some things we'll go into

detail about, oversight with better relationship with the department of accountability and supporting independent investigations with the district attorney's office and they're independent investigations bureau which we actually have an on an m.o.u. that should be present head to commission and we have an agreement on that. accountability. structural reorganization to enhance the risk management capability. we have commander pete wallace in the room who is our risk management commander. that was part of our strick ture change at the commission -- structural change at the commission. when i first got here the commission was advised and agreed with and we believe those types of changes give us better accountability having a command-level person in charge of that unit really has made a difference in my mine. next thing leveraging the body warn cameras capability to

increase the transparency we have to leverage that data and leverage what we see on body camera footage and d.p.a. worked on that and from the accountability standpoint, we hold ourselves accountable to our behavior. that has been a huge enhancement and i think this department has really done good work to get that policy in place and body worn cameras for this department which was a huge lift and happens in a short amount of time. community partnerships include the data partners we'll talk about here and including feedback internally and externally. our department has to be open and transparent and we have to listen to the community in terms of the expectations an input on our policies. that is happening and we continually strife -- strive to

get better and i know there's been challenges with that issue but i know we've gotten better and we have a department willing to be open and listen to feedback from those we are sworn to protect and serve. with that i'll turn it over to commander ewings and captain ford. >> thank you, commissioners. first of all, i want to explain why i'm here. i'm the new exec tich -- executive sponsor for bias and i'll be the point person moving forward. in the past five years the san francisco police department has been implement package of

reforms to build greater trust when the police and community and make the organization more transparent and accountable to the public we serve. mindful our members are most valued assets, the organization continues to provide a wide variety of ongoing training, robust academy program and strategically designed to produce the best officers to serve san francisco and the larger law enforcement community. the san francisco police department remains committed to the model of 21st century policing and a long line of service. the strategic statement. we have come up with a strategic plan to make certain the department is ready to meet modern day policing and be a more fitting conduit for what we stand for, safety with respect
