>> good morning and welcome to the street scape project and muni project. i certainly as the public work's director for the city and county here and i want to thank you for all coming out to celebrate this very exciting project that will improve the lives of the many people who use this inner sunset corridor. the project which spans all the way from aguelo to 19th avenue will improve the quality of life and transit services of this diverse neighborhood, which serves families, students, merchants and tourists alike
5:01 pm
president the street scape improvement is a collaborative project with the ms works and the utility's commission. for the past two years they've been working together to make crucial improvements to the inner sunset street scape and nearby transit services that not only make the area more vibrant and more accessible safe and reliable. when you look around the surrounding streets you see the vibrant landscapes that add to the neighborhood's charm improve seating as you can see visitor striving, new street trees. all of this creates a healthy environment and a great carbon footprint. what many do not see are the
5:02 pm
upgraded traffic signals, the repaved roads and all of the help to improve theed safety and transit service. there's many components to this project that has not been seen. we have improvements to the underground sewer line and improvements to our water lines our firefightings were upgraded or replaced, all to increase capacity and to minimize any destructions that will provide more reliable service to the community. also as a part of this project there's more than 3,000 feet of pipe that was installed for the department of technology for future fiber optic cables and this is a great partnership. as we do many projects on
5:03 pm
patrero we're installing pipe and we'll have the pipes electric in and of course less destruction to the neighbor while the projects happen. with all of that said, it brings me great joy to see the work that all of these agencies are doing together and how we come together to improve the quality of life of this diverse neighborhood in san francisco. san francisco. i want to thank john thomas and our project manager, johnny farm harlin kelly and his team from the puc and mr. maguire and of course our contractor, who was out here everyday making sure that we got this job done. and now the person who helps to make all of these projects happen the person who makes our neighborhoods better for everyone the person looking out for the future of san francisco, without future delay let me
5:04 pm
introduce our mayor london breed. [cheers and applause] >> it's so good to be back. i remember when we first set on the path to do this project for this neighborhood, andrea i just noticed you were over there and it's great to see you and martha and so many folks from the community. you all did the work because you wanted something better for this community. we have kids everywhere and these kids from stepping stone preschool are joining us today. and you'll get your snacks in just a minute, so don't worry. [cheers and applause] >> we have kids, we have families seniors, people who basically, love this community and so many amazing restaurants so many amazing places to shop. this is like really a jewel in san francisco and in fact, when improve was supervisor, i came to this community a lot to hideout and relax.
5:05 pm
and it was great. what was so important was to make it a lot offer annual and deal with safety and public infrastructure improvements. one of the things that i spent time with some of the neighbors doing is standing on the corner of ninth and irving and many of you know the familiar sound of some of the only old muni trains which still come through this way, how loud and heavy they are. remember i said the new trains will be much quieter. did you just hear how much quieter the new trains are? a lota lot of the promises to this community are finally happening and it was because of your patience. we know that it was very challenging to come in and the construction and the loss of parking and tearing up the streets and digging in and you all, through this whole challenge, you were very patient
5:06 pm
and we really appreciate that because now we are here realizing just really a dream for community an improvement to the sidewalks an improvement to the infrastructure and an improvement to our water pressure system so that when there is a fire or emergency the pressure -- i know this is not probably that interesting but it makes all the difference when dealing with any emergency that water suppression and our equipment and the systems actually work when we need it the most. the fiber optic cables, improvements to the sidewalks, all of the amazing things that will make this community not just safer but more boost and sobeautiful.i want to thank the inner sunset park neighbors, at the time of the leadership of andrea yaguin,
5:07 pm
that you pushed us to give some attention to this community and shine a light on the challenges that exist here is why we're here as well as the inner sunset merchant's association. the merchants here who serve the community, this is really not just a place where so many neighbors enjoy and eat and go to the hardware stores and pick up glasses. people from ucfs spend a lot of time here during lunch and people from the park spend a lot of time here and this community has come together as a force to make amazing projects like this happen. so i'm really excited. looking forward to doing even more because i have not forgotten about the wires over on ninth and irving and what we need to do to underground those wires. i know that's important and we're talking about right down the street, the gateway on gateway on
5:08 pm
lincoln and ninth and to really transform this community because it's a jewel in our community. thank you to the department of public works to mta all of the contractors, all of incredible workers who basically not only worked in this community but spent money at the restaurants and this was definitely a great effort and took time and here we are a celebration of just really an amazing project that is going to change the quality of life for the residents who live here. so enjoy it and next up, i want to take the opportunity to introduce your supervisor valley brown who as you remember was out here on a regular basis working with you all to move this project forward. she drove me a little crazy because she was running out of
5:09 pm
patience with the city bureaucracy and trying to get it done. and now she gets to enjoy the fruits of her labor. ladies and gentlemen your supervisor valley brown! [cheers and applause] >> you know what they say what doesn't kill us makes us stronger and that's how i feel about this project. i want to say i'm sorry to everyone. it was her fault. she started it and then i had to come in and finish it right? [ laughter ] >> yeah i'm not going go over everything we've done because i know mohamed nurue gave you all of the sexy details. but what i see is this neighborhood coming together and saying ok, this is painful and especially the merchants but we know once it's finished, it will be amazing and $21 million later, yeah, it looks pretty
5:10 pm
amazing i'd say. i want to thank people and i have to read this because i always forget one person and then i get in trouble after wars. afterwards. so thank you mayor breed for starting it, city administrator naomi kelly and mohamed nurue from public works. i mean this is something i have to say was -- he really jumped in and said, let's make this happen and let's make it as less painful as we can. acting director for sfmta tom mcguire and san francisco's puc. i would call everyone on this list and said if there was a pile of dirt and they couldn't park their car at 7:00 at night. so the responsiveness of their teams were amazing. i want to thank all of their teams because every week we had an issue whether it was the
5:11 pm
veterinarian or people getting dirt in their driveway and couldn't park their car. park driveway, this is all things that they really stepped up. i put 75k into budget so we could do a pilot programme called curb management. and this something i would think about because barbara i don't know where barbara is from the neighborhood she would tell me everyday when i walked by her house how we had people parking in her driveway or double-parking to run in and get
5:12 pm
the ubers and stuff to get the food from the merchants. we said, how can we solve these issues? they said, parking is so horrible here. i heard that, no -- [ laughter ] with these parking so really having to look at creatively looking at curb management so we're in the process of right now of actually having a community engagement of this curb management and how do we make it easier for people to park and easier for businesses
5:13 pm
to have people be able to come in and get what they need and get out so they're not parked there for hours. how do we, you know, get the uber eats and all of the other deliveries where they have a place to park and can get in and out so they're not parking in barbara's driveway? so this is actually happening now and once again the inner sunset park neighbor and merchants are at the tables saying we'll work with you and this is the only way i like to work because i came as a neighbor activist and i didn't like it when people did things in my naked and neighborhood and found out when i walked out the door that it was done. so thank you to everyone for being here today. i'm really excited for all of the work that's done. it's amazing. and should i bring up naomi? naomi! so now i would like to introduce naomi kelly a city
5:14 pm
administrator. this was her baby to manage, all of the different people to make sure it was done right. and so naomi. >> thank you. [cheers and applause] >> thank you supervisor brown and mayor breed and director of public works. this project has more meaning to me because i live in the neighborhood. i spend so much time here on these corners going to amazing fantasy with my kids, burn sf jamba juice you name it, so i live through the construction and understand the merchants and the pain you went through. but boy did this turn out beautiful! i've been to many scape improvements in different commercial corridor and i have to say these seats and planters are some of the best i've seen in all of san francisco. so you all did a great job on that. [cheers and applause]
5:15 pm
>> again, i want to thank mohamed nurue and john thomas is completing this project because it was done on time. public works delivers many key construction projects throughout the city and having it done on time so we're not disrupting the merchants for longer than we should is very important. you heard this specific project was $21.3 million and it's connect the to residents and we're more resilient. as chair of the ten-year capital plan committee we have done a lot to make sure that we have coordinating our projects. it was putting in our new sewer lines and water line and that's
5:16 pm
important for someone who lives in this neighborhood because i can tell you where every sinkhole was. i was drawing diagrams and handing it to the sf puc saying these are the most important parts to touch in the sunset. underground we've put in more than 4,000 -- the mayor is right. that was the large effort budget item at 7.$3 million. along for the water and sewer line to appreciate upgraded protection for this community in case of a potential earthquake. also ground underground we put in
5:17 pm
municipal fiber providing secure signals to this community. at the street level pedestrian and muni riders will see improvements as you can see with the curb ramps and that was approximately $5.7 million. but not just here in the inner sunset aisles, but public works have resurfaced 644 blocks across the city this year and we work together as one city connected, and i'm pleased to introduce tom maguire the interim director of transportation. [cheers and applause] >> it's great to be here and celebrate the puc public works city administrator and the elected officials who helped get the funds together and get the wills together to make this happen and the street scape is basically but when i look at it i don't just see beautiful planters and trees but safety.
5:18 pm
i see muni riders getting on and off trains going by and we see them getting off on a nice, safe sidewalk. they're not getting off into traffic like they do elsewhere in the city and this is the experience we want. we know this is the lifeline of the sunset, one of the busiest corridors and the streets in this area are some of the streets that are high injury vision zero and we want to make sure transit riders are safe, not just on their journey on the trains but when we get on and off on beautiful street scape. so thank you to the community for your patience as we have been working with our fell let's agenciesfellowagencies to get this built and thank you to everyone who fought for the funding and fought for the design to get this project done. thank you. >> now after listening to all of us after i'm sure you're bored i want to bring up andrea jabli
5:19 pm
to give her viewpoints of this project as a neighbor thank you. >> to the people who live here and work here and the merchants who come here, we didn't just do this as a photo-op. we did it because there are two important reason for people in this neighborhood to have this happening and one is the muni, the end juda will be faster. you'll get to work faster and home faster and anyone who does that everyday understands how important that is. it's also going to be safer for you. now you're not going to be hit by cars trying to squeeze in between the boarding ramps. most importantly ninth avenue and irving is an intersection that is painful for people who walk around this neighborhood on a frequent basis. you're sometimes stopped at a light for up to two and a half
5:20 pm
minutes while waiting for trains to come and go and bikes muni all that stuff. now that the stops have been reconfigured so that the buses get through the light before they have to stop, that intersection will be so much more pleasant for all of us to experience. so that's why we're here and why we did it and everyone who has put up with the noise and all of that give yourself a round of applause. [cheers and applause] >> thank you let's give the project is big hand. this is a great improvement. our mayor is challenging us to continue do more projects like this and public works and the partnership with all of the agencies will continue to deliver for you. so with that said we will cut the ribbon and so, where is the ribbon-cutting team here? we have behind us. >> and would the folks like martha, barbara and other community members feel free to come up and cut this rib bin.
5:21 pm
ribbon. this is for your community and we want to make sure you're a part of it. are we ready? >> yes! >> we sure? 5-4-3 -- you're not even counting. are we ready? >> yes clam 5-4-3-2-1!

5:34 pm
events occurring since the previous meeting including fleet week. this is include a brief overview of any unplanned events in san francisco having an impact on public safety. commission discussion on unplanned events the chief describes will be limited to determining whether to calendar it for a future meeting. >> thank you. good evening chief. good evening, president hirsch, vice president taylor, commissioners director, executive director henderson. i will start this week's chief report with our crime statistics update. overall part 1 crimes are down 8 percent and property crimes, i'll start with property crimes they are down 8 percent as well. we continue to have fewer reported incidents in all categories i'm happy to report. auto burglaries down year to date and compared to 2017 we are down 20 percent. violent crimes are down 10 percent overall. and statistically our homicides are down 22 percent from year to date
5:35 pm
last year. we are at 29 homicides, year to date, compared to 37 this time last year. there were no homicides last week to report. and for the month of september and the month of august, we had 3 homicides in each month. of the 29 cases this year, 18 of those cases cleared by arrest and one case is cleared by appearance. there are other cases from previous years that have been cleared so as of today we have an 81 percent homicide clearance rate for the year. gun violence is also down i'm happy to report. there's been a 12 percent decrease in gun violence over this time last year. we've had 16 fatal shootings for the year and 94 victims of gun violence for the year. there were 75 shootings causing injuries resulting in 78 victims. when you look at a five-year trend for gun violence and homicides, we are as low as we've trended for
5:36 pm
the last five years as i just stated, 16, i believe year to date. 16 year to date. the closest year to that was last year when we had 19. every other year has been in excess of 20 so that's good news we are down in our homicides with firearms and i think that's a combination of community support and the good work that the men and women of our organization both sworn and unsworn are doing to make this situation better. as far as a significant event this week, we have a few events coming up this week. excuse me. i'll start with the reunion has been going well. traffic has been a concern but as we continue to evolve in our traffic
5:37 pm
mitigation i think we will continue to get better there but it's really been smooth, particularly considering the end of the giants season and there were several nights where we had simultaneous events at both venues and i think our folks along with npa did a good job of getting people in and out of mission bay during those nights. we have the warriors actually begin our preseason here in our city on october 5 against the lakers so that's going to be an exciting night. first basketball game at the arihanna. >> who are youaarena.>> who are you rooting for? [laughter] for the record. >> i like both teams. i do like both teams actually. >> i apologize. >> given that the warriors are our team the warriors are going to win it. we also have concerts this week, we have concerts this week, the jonas brothers
5:38 pm
and the who, which are expected to be well attended as well. other large incidents this week involve the castro street theater and hartley bluegrass which we will be if you fully deployed for. it's a free event to the public. we will be there in numbers and fully deployed. fleet week begins next week which is always a great week in san francisco. it begins monday october 7 and runs through monday, october 14. we've been preparing for that for quite some time with the department of emergency management leading the charge. we are partnering with all the agencies in the city that have a stake in this including the fire department, the national agency the national park service the u.s. navy and u.s. military federal and state partners to make this a safe event for all. it will be very crowded as always. so we are asking the public to please allow extra travel time to get to your destination. when possible use public
5:39 pm
transportation. muni has many routes servicing the water fronts to get you where you want to be. and remember if you are going to drive park smart take your valuables don't leave them in your vehicle. don't be an easy target to be a victim of property crime. and finally if you see something please report it and say something. this month is breast cancer awareness month and i would like to thank the commission once again for approving our pink patches. last year we were able to raise $25,000 for the bay area cancer connection. so again we'll be attempting to raise funds through donations to support cancer research and support the bay area cancer connections. you can visit our website at sf police.org to find out more on how you can support this effort. we have t-shirts and wristbands and pins that are available for donations. and that concludes my report for this week if there are any questions.
5:40 pm
>> are there any questions from commissioners? okay. next item. >> line item 2b, directors report on recent dpa activities and announcements. dpa's report will be limited to a brief description of dpa activities. oh, that's right. sorry. excuse me. presentation of family code 6224-quarterly report. >> i'm sorry, where are you now? >> chief's report. yep. >> oh, right. okay. so we are back at the chief's. good evening. trying to confuse me tonight. >> commissioners chief scott executive director henderson i thought you guys forgot about me. i'mmy name is greg i'm the executive chief of the administration bureau here to provide you the first quarter reporting of the department's efforts on family code 6228 the infant
5:41 pm
code report releases. you should have the may report and the june to august 31st 2019 report. i'll leave that one on the screen. police commission created the working group that convened in january, february and march of 2019 and the working group consisted of taylor, hamasaki, members of the san francisco police department, members of the department of public accountability consortium status of women legal aid and sf war. since that time on average the department has received over about 41 requests for 62 family code releases between may and september of 2019. the majority of these reports were made in person at the
5:42 pm
public safety building on third street. the majority of requests being made under domestic violence reports. as you can see this for example in june, 3,413 requests for infant reports and of those, 36 of those requests in june were made under pursuant to family code 6228. 26 were made in person. 10 by e-mail and none by mail or fax. and that of those 36 the department was able to comply with the five-day turn around to comply with family code 6228. as you can see the domestic violence is the majority of the reports as you look across june, july and august but there are other reports that are also requested such as sexual assault. and there
5:43 pm
is a report in there. as you go through this same reporting period of june to august 31 of 2019, we notice the title says reasons for delay or denial. denial is based on if a person comes to the police department and they are not authorized or qualified for 6228, the report is still processed but processed under the ten-daytime frame so the person still gets the report but not within five days but within ten days. >> can you explain that what that means not qualified? >> in order to qualify you need to be the victim, attorney representing the victim, authorized conservatorship. there's a list of authorized members within family code 6228. and if the person requesting the report isn't
5:44 pm
one of those identified members or authorized members then we don't process the request under family code 6228 but we just revert back to the ten-day -- we redact the report and provide the report within ten days. >> just by way of background it might be helpful for those here tonight. so the purpose of this is to domestic violence victims, sexual assault victims elder abuse victims can get copies of the police reports documenting the incidents that they can then take those and get civil restraining orders against the person who attacked them. that's why this is so important and that's why our working group met to facilitate the fast turn around of these reports. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you, vice president taylor. that's very important. .
5:45 pm
>> so just to clarify we don't decline or deny reports they just fall into a different turn around but as you can see most all the reports have been that qualified under 62228 have been responded to within the five days and many times it's within the same day. and we started in may so we have up until august our september numbers about 3,841 requests for reports. of those 54 qualified under 6228. so the next report in january when we will be able to provide the october, november, december reports and then fall into the sequence of the quarterly reporting. >> okay. thank you. commissioner elias. >> what about me? >> i thought you were. >> i had a question. >> okay. i took you off.
5:46 pm
>> so first of all i just wanted to commend you. the reason why the working group met was because there was concern that nesterdomestic violence, they were not getting access to the police reports to get restraining orders and there were language barrier issues and lots of concerns that were brought to the table and i wish that domestic violence consortium and the other members of the community could be here today to look at these numbers. there is the groups will be meeting at city hall tonight in honor of domestic violence victims. so that's likely why they are not in here but i would be very happy to see that for each of the months reflected here, all of the reports the incident reports that were requested, those requests were fulfilled within five days so i'm very happy to see that and i want to
5:47 pm
commend you for that because we were all really concerned. so this is good. this is very good. >> good. >> nice. >> thank you. that was the first question i had was what the status was because i remember we left off the working group had sort of fallen apart because they weren't happy with some changes that were made with respect to the bulletin that was going to or how these requests were being processed so what is the status on that? >> it's still in litigation so there's a lot of things the processes that we can't discuss at this time. but rest assured the men and women of the san francisco police department crime information service unit understand the gravity of these requests and make every attempt to provide the victims and their authorized representatives with the reports in the timely manner. >> when you say the requests are fulfilled within five days, is that the same thing as the person
5:48 pm
receiving the actual report or is that different meaning you process the request within five days but the actuality what's the actual time period for the person to get the physical report? >> within five days. and the majority of time they get it back to them the same day they make the request. >> okay. so all the issues that the groups were having when they came to us and said it was taking months for the sfpd to process that, it is now a five-day turn around? >> within the five days, yes. >> okay. and when you -- i want to make sure i understood what you said earlier if i heard it right. you went to the page where it said denial or delay reasons for delay. >> correct. >> and one of the things is if the person is not authorized. now, are these given priority over other requests that are made for actual police reports? >> yes. >> director henderson. >> i just had a question a clarification.
5:49 pm
we talked about the agencies that release reports for the authorized representatives. do they still need to show the id, their ids? their own ids or on behalf of the clients they are representing. did that get resolved? i know there was discussion about that or is that part of the litigation? >> that's part of the litigation. >> okay. >> okay. thank you very much. next item, please. >> line item 2b, dpa director's report on recent activities and announcements dpa's report will be limited to a brief description of activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting and presentation of monthly statistical reports for may, june, july and august of 2019. >> okay. so majority of my presentation
5:50 pm
was going to be on the report so i didn't put a lot of work into the rest of the stuff but let me give you an update on the numbers in terms of where we are. right now we are at 568 open cases versus 500 which is where we were this time last year. there's been a real increase, you'll see when we go over the annual report of 30 percent from last year. and i think we are up 11 percent on top of that this year. so we are receiving a lot more complaints these days. in terms of cases closed we are at 469, which is surpassing the total volume from last year i think this time last year we were at 442 in terms of open cases we are at 408. this time last year we were at 253. so that's a high volume. in terms of cases sustained this year we are at
5:51 pm
39 cases have been sustained this year versus this time last year at 34. we have 47 cases that are -- have gone beyond nine months which is our own internal track record of trying to resolve cases sooner and faster. the majority of those cases are told i don't have the exact number still because we are still tweaking our system to be able to pull those numbers out. in terms of cases mediated, we are at 27 cases have been mediated this year versus 14 this time last year. we have a number of outreach events. we took -- participated in a presentation with the community at the riley center on post incarceration. the 19th we were at the san francisco district attorney's office, public safety at the city
5:52 pm
college. on the 21st we participated with the mayor's office on their coastal cleanup and on the 26th we worked and participated in the department of aging and adult services, resource fair for public agencies. the audience today, i have with me my chief of staff sara hawkins senior investigator and our senior investigator -- i don't remember. operations manager. all specific. in case of questions that would come up during the meeting. >> thank you. i do have a question about the 47 that are beyond nine months. without knowing the number, are you confident that the ones that are not being told by a statute will not expire through the 12-year cut off? >> 12 month cut off. >> yeah.
5:53 pm

received throughout that training because from what i knew of the training, it was very informative and i think it would be beneficial for the other commissioners. >> i would love to present something. i mean the folks that are here went if you want to hear something now but i can prepare something. >> give us a brief summary right now, i think that would be good for us. >> they are here, i wasn't there but it was our national -- they can tell you. >> sara hawkins, chief of staff dpa. a group of us attended the national association for civilian oversight of law enforcement conference. there were a number of tracks and sessions. so if you wanted to present in more detail, we are happy to do that. all the materials are also available in an app called guide book. so we can show you the agendas and offer to kind of share any materials
5:55 pm
on that. oversight is different in every agency across the nation so some of the sessions where everybody just kind of sharing their stories. and san francisco was far ahead of the game. so a lot of stuff that was talked about are things we are already involved in. among those insightful sessions i attended were one on mediation one on the investigation of officer-involved shooting, one on law enforcement perspectives about civilian oversight. so it's kind of every topic that we deal with in a moderated conversation type of setting. so there were a lot of good takeaways that came from it. i'm happy to put together some materials. i'll send you the agenda and we can go from there if that sounds like a good plan. >> and the link would be really. >> of course. >> okay. thank you. >> thank you. >> anything else, director? >> nope. >> okay. any questions any other questions for director henderson? next item, please.
