officer-involved shooting we talked about the district attorney office. d.a. had an interview where me said, it's still broken. our system is broken. police are investigating their own officer-involved shooting. they're all part of law enforcement. what i found curious here, very early on in the investigation, they shape the scene. they shape the investigation when they get there. that's not a good thing for the department. that doesn't build faith in the community that it's a real independent examination. when you get to that, talking to the attorney general, what are we going to do to remedy that. they say, -- [indiscernible]
8:01 am
>> the issue you that you raise is one that's national. in terms of the reform recommendations, there are lot of very concrete recommendations that made to address those concerns. there's more timely and early on notification. the m.o.u. was the first outcome to that. we have seen what seems to be good practice and frankly probably one of the leading organizations in terms of multiunit training relative to response to officer-involved shooting. there's always ongoing issues in terms of improvement and reform. the ability here, this is what we're seeing the chief discuss as well, within law enforcement, even since 2016, we'r we've seen significant change in terms what are the expectations. it is question of, we have black and white recommendation here that says why.
8:02 am
in 2019, have ewith changed it? do we need what the recommendation is to make sure we're going forward? that's the continuous improvement. the value of cal d.o.j. at the table. they can stand truly independent. the social issues that you're raising those are complicated. those take time. you create the policies, you create the standards and you create the expectations. frankly from what we've seen, when you have a very diverse highly educated police department here. being able to give them the standards and the guidance and leadership it bring it forward, brings that change. does it happen in a period of year and a half or two years? not likely. you can see measurable requirements and standards and policy and ability to accord not only the d.p.a. but this council and department to ensure those
8:03 am
policies are being followed and bring that commitment they made to the community forward in a very transparent and documented way. >> last thing you want to say. for all these wonderful orders we put in place and policy and training. we have done that. we have lot of that in place. one of the criticisms that we read, when it gets to the training part of it, some officers are told disregard everything you learned apt the academy, do as i say and do as i do. they continue to perpetuate the culture that's in place. how do we change that culture in a significant way? how do we stop that? the i think d.o.j. talked about some of the training officers. >> the standard is high. commission adopts policies and when officers are expected to
8:04 am
train and follow the rules and they don't hold up to it, we do hold them accountable to that. we do. the standards are very high. we don't compromise on that. somebody not following that and we find out about it, we will take the appropriate action. we do. >> vice president taylor: we want to know that. i have not heard anything to that effect in san francisco. if that's happening, the
8:05 am
commission wants to hear about it. i would say that president hirsch have been part of this these collaborative discussions and calls. lot of things are hardening to me. one of those things, we all felt strongly that d.p.a. should be part of the conversation. it's really helpful. cal d.o.j. is anything but rubber stamp. there are no rubber stamps on the policy. it really is a process of kind of rigorous discussion and testing of ideas. there's lot of work to do. from what we have seen, we have a lot of people from various kind of points of view having discussions about these
8:06 am
policies. >> one last thing. can you tell us in couple of sentences, the report that's coming out in couple of weeks, what do you expect us to see from that? >> i think what you're going to see is that the city and this department and the cal d.o.j. have really established a foundation that i think provides structure for reform for the department going forward. just as the vice president identified, coming into this, we weren't quite sure how all the new stakeholders were going to work out in this. what i can say, it's been your work. that is the department that commission, the d.p.a. and cal d.o.j., to really fashion an approach that's unique. you are the only major city that really kind of taking reform forward.
8:07 am
i think this report will have some disappointment. all 272 recommendations have not been accomplished. there's something to look in that in terms of time. from june 2018 when we were first hired until when this report comes out, framework, the structure, the working agreements and capacity to develop reform measure reform in addition to ongoing initiatives that executive director mcguire just talked about, shows that this city and this department is taking forward that original commitment from october 2016. >> president turman: thank you both. thank you to hilliard heintze. next item on the agenda. we're ready for public comment on item 2. what we just heard. good evening. >> greetings.
8:08 am
i'm clifford and one of the american people i will be the highest authority in this room as government officials are server and magistrate the people. no offense to deborah, having the d.o.j. have relate recommens for the sfpd what they should be doing is tantamount having a fox guard the hen house. you can't have a treasonous telling another treasonous body telling what to do. this time last year sfpd was a 9/19/11 co-conspirator. there are two others more
8:09 am
recent. the recently it was announced that jamal truelove was awarded $13.1 million after six years of his life was wasted after being framed by the san francisco police department. it should be called the san francisco domestic terrorist department. given there was a murder and someone was framed, that means the culprit the murder is still out there and one would be foolish not to suspect san francisco domestic department. that would bring skepticism of chief scott's report. i'm requiring all footage be made to the public immediately. also last thursday, the san francisco police department was involved in abducting a homeless woman called diamond, that's three strikes of treason and unlike the three strikes law,
8:10 am
treason is one time offense where you're subject to capital punishment. i'm giving you orders and this you'll be in full compliance with as far as dealing with the public and treating them properly, i require that all the police who are protecting 9/11 terrorist be arrested. >> president turman: thank you your time up. any other comment on item 2? >> good evening. i wasn't sure i would come down here. someone on board gave me a call. inpromise not to tell who it was. there's that military movie where the guy understands, the lawyer say, i want the truth. the guy says you can't handle the truth. that's because the truth is not meant to be handled. you understand it, abide by it or whatever. in this country, they say it's
8:11 am
based on judeo and christian low. the fact is the 10 commandments never been followed. u.s. constitution has never been the law of the land. we go back to the beginning. what are you really prepared to do? how serious are you about making these changes? you're not going to do it on earthly level. when they say god bless america, mary that we serve, never ending games. the power we have is the power of our heart. which is the power of christ.
8:12 am
law enforcement is stuck in the middle of this crazy satanic riddle. they got a tough spot. i support law enforcement because they're a spiritual entity just like the rest of the entities. when the master the wool and hair say how you doing, that was about the animals. >> president turman: any other public comment on item 2? >> this all looks great the powerpoint. i don't see any meat in what's happening here. i don't see anything how we doe they're not going to be texting and racist comments, i don't see how truelove's happen during this time. i want to who we're partnering
8:13 am
with academia, who was partnering was not mentioned. you want to know about the body cameras turned on when gun is drawn. also there's why are we seeking more police. i watched the police in this town. you have witnessed -- i saw a woman thrown against the wall. five cop cars jumped out and the officers said, would you please tell this woman stop yelling at me. they were hurting the woman. i like to see how we'll see the d.o.j. report that criticizes what was done. the report from the law office seems lacking to me any meat it will take a long time. why? it seems officers are told what to do and they supposed to obey in the system.
8:14 am
why can't we get this happening now? i want to know miserables too. i want to see real progress. i want the community -- community is not any happier about the police than they were when this started. this is all really pretty and polished. >> president turman: any other public comment. public comment is closed. next item. [agenda item read]
8:15 am
>> greetings again. i have more orders. along rest of the police involved with the framing of jamal truelove. yoni don't care in they don't ce if they're with sfpd. i'm requiring you arrest the key executives of the san francisco federal reserve bank. starting with mary c. da daly. next week, if she's here, then you will finally done your job for once and followed the orders
8:16 am
of the people. if not, i will be requiring, this is an order from your superior. government officials are public servants and magistrates of the people. i'm glad some of all think this is funny. this is serious. these are orders, this treason needs to stop. according to the law, article 3 section 3, the punishment for treason is campaign punishment. if you don't know what capital punishment is, that's execution. once again, i'm requiring the arrest of the police involved with the framing of jamal truelove, bless involved protecting 9/11 terrorist, cease and desist and stand down. that's an order. >> president turman: any other public comment?
8:17 am
>> i would request that the chief input into not going forth with tasers. i think i provided information from ted gunnerson about how there could be lot better ways to deal with those issues than to taser people. i want to talk to the public. i'll talk to the public that are non-law enforcement. those that are concerned with law enforcement, the reality is, they work for corporations. they took an oath of the constitution. i would suggest that you look up the constitution and invite one of them to come down and speak one day. the constitution is a beautiful
8:18 am
document which never been the law of the land. those that would like it see law enforcement work for people for the first time ever, you got to provide a beautiful endeavor which is the 40-day strike that's commanded from above and beyond to shut down the labor shut down the schools and get off the fence and stop paying mortgages and rent. we cannot expect changes while we're paying in the system that is not as we would wish. that's my share.
8:19 am
we all get off the fence and don't pay rents for two months. >> president turman: any other public comment? public comment is closed. next item. [agenda item read] >> president turman: any public comment on item 6 going into closed session? seeing none. public comment is closed. next item. vote whether we go into closed session. >> moved >> second. >> president turman: motion carries.
8:20 am
>> we are back in open session. is there a motion to reveal that was held in closed session? all in favor? >> aye. >> opposed? >> that passes unanimously. >> adjournment. >> all in favor? opposed? we are adjourned. thank you.
8:21 am
>> for the first time in nearly two decades fishers have been granted the legal right to sell fish directly to the package right off their boat -- to the public right off their boats in san francisco. it's not only helping local fishers to stay afloat but it's evoking the spirit of the wharf by resurfacing the traditional methods of selling fish. but how is it regulated? and what does it take for a boat to be transported into a floating fish market? find out as we hop on board on this episode of "what's next sf." (♪) we're here with the owner and the captain of the vessel pioneer. it's no coincidence that your
8:22 am
boat is called the pioneer because it's doing just that. it's the first boat in san francisco to sell fish directly from the boat. how did you establish your boat into such a floating fish market? >> well, you know, i always thought that it would be nice to be able to provide fresh fish to the locals because most of the fish markets, you would have to do a large amount of volume in order to bring in enough fish to cover the overhead. when you start selling to the public that volume is much less so it makes it hard to make enough money. so being able to do this is really -- it's a big positive thing i think for the entire community. >> a very positive thing. as a third-generation fisherman joe as his friends call him has been trawling the california waters for sustainably caught seafood since an early age. since obtaining a permit to sell fish directly to the public he is able to serve fish at an affordable price. >> right now we're just selling what a lot of the markets like,
8:23 am
flat fish and rock fish and what the public likes. so we have been working for many, many years and putting cameras in them. there's the ability to short fish and we have panels that we open and close so we target the different species of fish by adjusting the net. and then not only that but then the net sort out the sizes which is really important. >> joe brings in a lot of fish, around 20,000 pounds per fishing trip to be exact. >> we had one day one time that we sold almost 18,000 pounds. >> it's incredible. >> i know, it's hard to imagine. >> but this wasn't always the case for joe. >> the markets that we have left in california, they're few and far between, and they really are restrictive. they'll let you fish for a couple months and shut you down. a lot of times it's rough weather and if you can't make your delivery you will lose your rotation. that's why there's hardly any boats left in california because of the market challenges. my boat was often sitting over here at the dock for years and i couldn't do anything with it
8:24 am
because we had no market. the ability to go catch fish is fine, i had the permits, but you couldn't take them off your boat. >> that was until the port commission of san francisco rallied behind them and voted unanimously to approve a pilot program to allow the fish to be sold directly to consumers right off their boats. >> the purpose of the program is to allow commercial fishers to sell their fish directly from their boats to the end consumer in a safe and orderly manner for the benefit of the overall fishing community at the port of san francisco. we have limited the program to certain types of fish such as salmon, halibut, tuna and rock fish. crab is restricted from this program because we did not want to interfere with the existing crab sales on taylor street and jefferson street. so this is not meant to favor one aspect of the fishing industry more than another. it's to basically to lift up the whole industry together.
8:25 am
>> and if joe the program has been doing just that. >> it was almost breathtaking whenever i woke up one morning and i got my federal receiver, my first receivers license in the mail. and that gave me permission to actually take fish off my boat. once we started to be able to sell, it opened things up a bit. because now that we have that federal permit and i was able to ppetition the city council and getting permission from san francisco to actually use the dock and to sell fish here, it was a big turning point. because we really didn't think or know that we'd get such a positive response from the public. and so we're getting thousands of people coming down here buying fish every week and so that's pretty cool. they like the fish so much that they take pictures of it when they cook it and they send us all of these pictures and then they ask us, you know, constantly for certain types of fish now. and when they come down here the one thing that they say is that they're so amazed that the fish is so fresh they could eat a
8:26 am
little bit during the week and it's still fresh all week in the refrigerator. so that's really cool. >> the fish is very fresh and the price is super. i don't think that you can get it anywhere in the bay area. i can see it, and i can stir fry it, wow, you can do anything you want. i just can say this is a good place to shop and you have a good experience. >> this program supports the strategic plan in terms of engagement, people being connected to the waterfront, and also economic vitality. because it's helping the fishermen to make ends meet. they have no guarantees in their businesses, not like some people, and we want to do everything that we can to help them to have a good and thriving business. >> how does it feel to be able to sell your fish locally kind of in the traditional way, like your grandfather probably did?
8:27 am
>> when i was a kid and i used to work in my dad's fish market, a lot of the markets that we sell to now are second and third and fourth generation markets. so i remember as a kid putting their tags on the boxes of fish that we shipped out of monterey and ship down to l.a. so it's kind of cool that we're still dealing with the same families. and this is probably about the only way that anyone can really survive in california is to sell your own fish. >> one of the advantages of this program is the department people that pull in the fish, they can find out where they caught it and find out more about the fisherman and that adds to their experience. the feedback from the fishers has been very good and the feedback from the customers have very good. and there's a lot of people coming to the wharf now that might not have done so. in fact, there's people that go through the neighboring restaurants that are going to eat fish inside but before they go in they see the action on the
8:28 am
dock and they want to kind of look at what's happening on the boat before they go in and they have a meal. so it's generated some conversation down at the wharf and that's a good thing. >> as you can see by the line forming behind me getting ready to buy fish, the pilot program has been a huge success. for more information visit sfsport.com.

>> right before the game starts, if i'm still on the field, i look around, and i just take a deep breath because it is so exciting and magical, not knowing what the season holds holds is very, very exciting. it was fast-paced, stressful, but the good kind of stressful, high energy. there was a crowd to entertain, it was overwhelming in a good way, and i really, really enjoyed it. i continued working for the grizzlies for the 2012-2013 season, and out of happenstance, the same job opened up for the san francisco giants. i applied, not knowing if i would get it, but i would kick
8:54 am
myself if i didn't apply. i was so nervous, i never lived anywhere outside of fridays know, andfridays -- fresno, and i got an interview. and then, i got a second interview, and i got more nervous because know the thought of leaving fresno and my family and friends was scary, but this opportunity was on the other side. but i had to try, and lo and behold, i got the job, and my first day was january 14, 2014. every game day was a puzzle, and i have to figure out how to put the pieces together. i have two features that are 30 seconds long or a minute and a 30 feature. it's fun to put that altogetl r together and then lay that out in a way that is entertaining for the fans. a lucky seat there and there, and then, some lucky games that
8:55 am
include players. and then i'll talk to lucille, can you take the shirt gun to the bleachers. i just organize it from top to bottom, and it's just fun for me. something, we don't know how it's going to go, and it can be a huge hit, but you've got to try it. or if it fails, you just won't do it again. or you tweak it. when that all pans out, you go oh, we did that. we did that as a team. i have a great team. we all gel well together. it keeps the show going. the fans are here to see the teams, but also to be entertained, and that's our job. i have wonderful female role models that i look up to here at the giants, and they've been great mentors for me, so i aspire to be like them one day.
8:56 am
renelle is the best. she's all about women in the workforce, she's always in our corner. [applause] >> i enjoy how progressive the giants are. we have had the longer running until they secure day. we've been doing lgbt night longer than most teams. i enjoy that i work for an organization who supports that and is all inclusive. that means a lot to me, and i wouldn't have it any other way. i wasn't sure i was going to get this job, but i went for it, and i got it, and my first season, we won a world series even if we hadn't have won or gone all the way, i still would have learned. i've grown more in the past
8:57 am
four years professionally than i think i've grown in my entire adult life, so it's been eye opening and a wonderful learning >> providing excellent customer service to each other so that we can succeed together. because we're a small division out here, and we're separated from the rest of the p.u.c., a lot of people wear a lot of different hats. everyone is really adept not just at their own job assigned to them, but really understanding how their job relates to the other functions, and then, how they can work together with other functions in the organization to solve
8:58 am
those problems and meet our core mission. >> we procure, track, and store materials and supplies for the project here. our real goal is to provide the best materials, services and supplies to the 250 people that work here at hetch hetchy, and turn, that supports everyone here in the city. i have a very small, but very efficient and effective team. we really focus hard on doing things right, and then focus on doing the right thing, that benefits everyone. >> the accounting team has several different functions. what happens is because we're so remote out here, we have small groups of people that have to do what the equivalent are of many people in the city. out here, our accounting team handles everything. they love it, they know it inside out, they cherish it, they do their best to make the system work at its most efficient. they work for ways to improve
8:59 am
it all the time, and that's really an amazing thing. this is really unique because it's everybody across the board. they're invested it, and they do their best for it. >> they're a pretty dynamic team, actually. the warehouse team guys, and the gals over in accounting work very well together. i'm typically in engineering, so i don't work with them all day on an every day basis. so when i do, they've included me in their team and treated me as part of the family. it's pretty amazing. >> this team really understanding the mission of the organization and our responsibilities to deliver water and power, and the team also understands that in order to do that, we have a commitment to each other, so we're all committed to the success of the organization, and that means providing excellent customer service to each other so that we can
