i.d. 2493-879-2403, then press pound and pound again. press star, three to enter the queue to speak. at this time, members of the public who are present may lineup against the wall to speak. good morning, miss brown. >> hi. my name is miss brown. i've come here again. i'm glad you're opened back up, calling about my son, aubrey abrakasa, murdered august 14, 2006. i am still on the frontlines, trying to get my son's case solved. i brought the names of the persons that murdered my son

that were in process of -- thomas hannibal, jason hunter, [indiscernible] and marcus carter. terrence moffat isn't there anymore. i'm looking for another way to get my son's case, not only there's other mothers and fathers that were supposed to be here that could not be here today. this is my son's body, laying on a gurney. this is all that i had. that is something that i have

to deal with for the rest of my life, and i don't want to. i need some closure, and if i have to keep coming here for the rest of my life, i will. i'm glad you're opened back up because i wasn't able to show you via conference call. this is not easy for me, but i have to advocate. i am my son's voice now, and i need help getting my son's case solved. thank you. >> clerk: good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> so commissioners, i see there are some changes made as

the police commission, and what we have to focus on, quality of life issues that have been impacted all over the city, so stop bringing issues where you all are ganging up on one another that doesn't do the city good. for the last three months, the way some of you have acted is pathetic, and i think you need an orientation on how to behave, and if you focus on

critical matter, you stay on point, but if you rely on the newspapers and some of the issues that you haven't reviewed, then you're going to be behaving the way you have behaved in the past. so we can change this, turn this ship around, address quality of life issues and life in the city and county of san francisco. the citizens of san francisco want you to address quality of life issues. thank you very much. >> clerk: thank you, caller. good evening, caller. you have two minutes.

>> my name is susan buckman, and i live in district 7, and i work with wealth and disparities in the black community. i have grown tired of talking to the police commission, the sfpd, and to the board of supervisors. where is the urgency? if the tables were turned, and these statistics represented white folks, i know there would be an urgency. when are you going to address the harsh statistics? you took an oath to support and uphold to seek the law for all san franciscans.

per the report, sfpd arrests black residents at the highest rate of any major california city. in 2020, the sfpds arrest rate for black residents was 9.8 times higher than it was for nonblack residents, and 3.8 times the arrests statewide. we demand the cessation of police stops for repeat traffic infractions. racist policemen can often turn a minor matter into a life threatening situation. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, caller. good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> hello, my name is david aaronson. i'm a member of district 1 and

i'm a member of wealth and disparities in the black community. there is an issue to address the injustice of black san franciscans. i've grown tired of san francisco police commission. i'm tired of comments falling on deaf ears, so we've sought help from attorney general banta. recently, the police report was released and another was released from the center of juvenile and criminal justice.

the c.j.c. made the same recommendations. according to sfpds only data, a black san franciscan is six times as likely to be stopped for racial profiling as a black san franciscan. this is more than five times as high as the state average. this police commission must end stops for minor matters, which is an opportunity for sfpd to wield its racism. thank you. >> clerk: thank you, caller. >> good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> good evening. my name is [indiscernible] and i'm also with wealth and disparities in the black community, calling with a quote why -- quote from our founder,

felicia jones [indiscernible] to support and seek the good for all san franciscans. i'm tired, but not tired enough to quit, tired of beating a dead horse, tired of fighting the same battle. the recent report from the center for juvenile justice, per the report, sfpd has the highest cost per square mile to patrol yet the sfpd has the

lowest solve rate of any major city. the sfpd is the only police agency in california that refuses to identify hispanic and latino in their reporting. thank you for your time. >> clerk: vice president elias, that is the end of public comment. >> vice president elias: next item. >> clerk: item 2, consent calendar, receive and file, action. fourth quarter 2021 safe streets for all report, sfpd s.b. 1421 monthly report,

s.d.p. d.p. 1421 and s.b. 16 monthly report. these items are on the consent calendar. if anyone would like to sever any of these items, please identify the item, and we will work to agendize it but there will be no discussion of the item tonight. >> vice president elias: thank you, sergeant youngblood. i would like to agendize s.b. 1421 and s.b. 16. could we get public comment, please. >> clerk: at this time, members

of the public may provide public comment. please approach the podium or press star, three. there are no callers for public comment. >> vice president elias: great. can i get a motion? >> so moved. >> second. >> vice president elias: thank you. sergeant youngblood? [roll call] >> clerk: you have five yeses. >> vice president elias: yes item? >> clerk: line ice 3, chief's report. discussion. weekly crime trends. provide an overview of offenses occurring in san francisco. major, significant incidents. provide a summary of plans activities and events. this will include a brief overview of any unplanned

events or activities occurring in san francisco having an impact on public safety. commission discussion on unplanned events and activities the chief describes will be limited to determining whether to calendar for a future meeting. >> chief scott: good evening, vice president elias, commissioners, members of the public, and anyone present. with that, the one crime trend that i want to highlight is the piece of good news that our gun violence is down 36% year-to-date. we did have three shooting incidents this week, and i'll discuss those in a second with the update on the significant incidents. significant incidents for this week, this past week, good news on homicides during the

reporting, bad news this week. calls stemmed from a 911 call, concerning a person who received a gunshot wound to the upper body. officers arrived and observed a victim who was deceased at the scene. anybody with any information on this crime or any other crime in san francisco, you can call 415-575-4444, and that information can be kept anonymous. weekly, three shooting incidents are as follows: on march 9, at 2:00 p.m., at newcome and mindell, two

occupants in a vehicle shot at the other one. the victim sustained gunshot wounds to the upper leg and abdomen and self-transported to san francisco general and is expected to arrive. investigators are looking at evidence, and this incident is being handled by our community violence reduction team. on march 7 at 7:00 p.m., there was an incident at clara and fourth in the southern district. the victim was walking when the suspect came from behind and demanded his phone. the suspect fired a gun and the victim fled the scene and ran into a nearby business. the third incident was on march

11 in the bayview district. the victim and an acquaintance were sitting in a vehicle when they heard shots and the victim received several shots. the victim had warrants unrelated for the shooting, and the quaintance and the girlfriend admitted to the shooting and were arrested. the victim was also placed under arrest for the warrant, and that has been solved with an arrest. other significant incidents in the tenderloin on 8 march at 7:40 p.m., there was a stranger kidnap. two unknown suspects broke into

a vehicle and stole the vehicle and child. a short distance away, the suspect placed the child outside of the vehicle. the victim followed the vehicle until she lost it near treasure island. during the search, officers have located the vehicle but did not locate the individual or individuals involved in the incident. there is an on going investigation with a vehicle on lombard and hyde street on 3 march. the suspect vehicle was double parked next to the victim's war while the suspect exited his vehicle and removed the items from the victim's car. the victim leapt onto the hood of the suspect's vehicle,

rolled off, and the suspect at that time fled at a high rate of speed. an officer followed for a short time on hyde and was unable to keep up with the vehicle. per department -- our department policy, we are unable to pursue the suspect, but the officers did get the vehicle information and we are conducting a follow-up information. we will continue to work on that case, and hopefully we will be able to bring that to resolution. no stunt driving and no fatal traffic collisions. from march 18 to march 20, starting at 9:45, the u.s. navy deployment will be docked at pier 30 and 32. we usually get a lot of tourists and people wanting to

see the navy ships, but they will just be docked at the pier. on march -- chase this week, there's a john mayer concert on the 15 and 16. golden gate park, there's the san francisco marathon starting on the 19 at 7:00 a.m., and on the 20 at golden gate park, there's a concert at 11:00 a.m., lindy in the park. throughout the month of march, the san francisco band shell will host musicians and groups and in celebration of international woman's month, you can expect to hear women

fronted bands throughout this month, so for anybody who would like to come and enjoy that, that would be great. no baseball on the schedule, but we will advise how that develops, and that is the end of my report for this week. >> vice president elias: thank you. any commissioners have any questions? commissioner byrne? >> commissioner byrne: thank you, vice president cohen -- vice president elias. i apologize. chief, i was down in union square a couple of times this week and noticed an increased police presence. is that still the case? >> chief scott: thank you. i wanted to talk about that.

union square, the safe shopper deployment has decreased, but the deployment is still there. we have boosted the tenderloin station with additional deployment. it's on an overtime basis, but the deployment is an additional 20 officers on wednesdays because wednesdays are just typically because of our scheduling a heavy day, with a sergeant and lieutenant. they're going to be working a midday midwatch type of shift. we will reassess that deployment in three weeks, but some of what's happening is the response in the tenderloin to the gangbanging, drug dealing, and many things that the community has complained about and the commission has inquired about, and we do believe that

this deployment will help disrupt that activity. we are still doing our buy-busts, and i know there's been questions from the commission, and i know there's been discussion on that. one thing that's been consistent from the community members that i've been in, community members, they don't want drug use on the streets. most of the people, people don't use in front of a uniformed officers, but there are options, including arrests.

we've confiscated over eight pounds of fentanyl. those strategies are designed to disrupt the activity. it's not the end-all-be-all, but we will assess this in a few weeks and see where we go from there, and our plan is to make sure we have a presence there to disrupt the activity. >> commissioner byrne: just a follow up question, chief. i did notice the increased number of police vehicles, but have the foot patrols been increased? >> they have. the deployment and what is part of this plan, the officers that are being brought in, these additional officers, they are

assigned typical blocks, and the blocks where we've had trouble typically disrupting the drug sellers. most of the deployment is foot patrols. there are at least two patrol cars as a part of the deployment to support the officers, so to answer your question, most of them are foot patrol. >> commissioner byrne: thank you, chief. thank you, vice president. >> chief scott: thank you. >> thank you very much, vice president cindy elias. i just want to note that the gun violence is down since 2021, and that's a good thing.

i'm wondering if any of that has transferred from the tenderloin to the southern station, and if there's anything you want to do on there? >> chief scott: thank you for that, commissioner. there is some displacement, particularly seventh and mission is where it typically happens, but it sometimes happened deeper in the -- seven and market is where it typically happens, but it

sometimes happens deeper in the mission. we can't say that that has anything to do with what's going on in the tenderloin, but it is concerning. we will continue to try to drill on identification why these things are the way they are, but right now, we can't say that it has anything to do with the tenderloin. >> thank you very much, chief. >> vice president elias: thank you. can we go to public comment? >> clerk: at this time, the public is welcome to make public on-line item number 3. at this time, if you'd like to make public comment, please approach the podium or press star, three. >> on my son's case, he was murdered august 14, 2006, at

approximately 3:00, in broad daylight, shot 30 times with a semiautomatic gun into my 16-year-old boy, just turned 17. his case number is 060862038. i also want to bring up about the digital monitoring displaying homicide victims. they've been down, coming up, and i was wondering if they can keep a tech person in there to keep these videos up. since we spear headed the digital homicide monitors for victims, i don't understand why they're not at the other precincts. i've talked with philpot, i've met the new homicide person,

which is calvin sanders, and there's some things that they're supposed to be doing, too, so i was worries about the homicide digital posters. why aren't they at the other precincts? and not only that, but they can put them at city agencies. i said d.m.v., but city agencies like the bus terminals, union light rail. you know, they have them there. that would help a whole lot, and we talked about the shootings that are down. one shooting is too much, especially for mothers and fathers like myself, mothers like myself that are still suffering. i don't care if the shooting was yesterday or 20 years ago. we're still affected by it, and the shootings are affect [indiscernible] by it, too, so please check on the monitors if you don't spear head it.

thank you. >> clerk: good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> so commissioners, i think it's time to do a needs assessment of first gathering information in our city and then keeping a watch on all these guys who come from the east bay to sell drugs, and we don't do that. and if we don't do that, it's going to be business as usual. these people coming from the east bay come as if they're going to a normal job, and

that's what you commissioners have to review. find out the population of our city. find out how many people are now coming to the financial district, and find out exactly what is happening because it's not only in the tenderloin, it's happening all over the city. quality of life issues. that's your business as the commission. stop that. turn the ship around. >> clerk: thank you, caller. and vice president elias, that is the end of public comment. >> vice president elias: thank you. next item? >> clerk: line item 4, d.p.a. director's report, discussion.

report on recent d.p.a. activities and announcements. commission discussion will be limited to determining whether to calendar any of the issues raised for a future commission meeting. >> vice president elias: hello, director henderson. >> director henderson: good evening. i have currently 173 cases that are currently open. i have 128 cases that have been closed so far this year. on case that's have -- on whose investigations have extended beyond the nine-month range, there are 32 of cases like that. this time last year, there were 39 cases that had extended beyond the nine-month range. again, as a reminder, the 12-month 3304 deadline from

d.p.h. has not been breached since i took over almost five years ago, and i will continue address being these cases to make sure they are not lost due to jurisdictional issues. of those cases, 25 are tolled, meaning there are independent statutes pausing the time. there are 13 cases awaiting decision from the commission themselves, and there are seven cases pending decisions in front of the chief. this week, the top allegations from cases that came in this week, 57% of them were for an officer displaying inappropriate behavior or making inappropriate comments. another was officers engaging

in selective enforcement. again, these are allegations. one of the things that i'm adding to the weekly update in addition where the allegations come in by the precinct, i've been including in the records that is turned over to the commission and is on the website, as well, a section entitled previous cases, so the commission can track more accurately where the cases are and seeing what happened not only this week but last week. so in this week, the highest number of allegations are in tenderloin station for failure to move encampments, blocking sidewalks and driveways, and the full breakdown, like i said, i'm not going to go through every single precinct, every single allegation. that is in the information and

can be found in the records, i just want to highlight some of the top ones which was asked as we previously talked about it. as we go on, i'm flushing out and giving more information rather than less just to people have a more accurate tool, and it's just something that's just not a snapshot in time, so i'll continue to do that. in terms of operations, we're really excited to work with z.f. associates on our proposal for the specific bridge program that will allow members of the public to contact our agency to get regular and independent updates on their allegations, so i think that's going to be a really powerful tool for the agency to have so they don't have to wait to see what's going on with their individual cases.

they have a d.p. user interface, and they develop capacities to meet the challenges of the community. they worked on a database and dashboard for wheelchair users and a communications database exclusively. we will continue this week to better understand what the deliverables will be for the partnership, and i'll keep you updated what the project unfolds so we can continue to make this system more robust

internally for d.p.a. on the individual cases. in terms of outreach, on march 9, we conducted two separate interactive know your rights workshops with independent high school, i.h.s. systemic oppression in everyday life, we also distributed new campaign cards that members of the commission should have received and are available through d.p.a., as well, and those cards were passed out. about 80 students received those cards from the agency. we also, last week -- or this week, sorry, this week, met with wendy still, who is the former chief from san francisco adult probation. she is now with alameda county board of supervisors, tasked with building out an expansion

of the police oversight work that they are doing. so she met with us this week, talking about the crossover issues for investigations related to both police misconduct allegations and sheriff misconduct allegations to try to troubleshoot, develop, and outline best practices. all of this work will be culminating in a 70-ish page report that she'll be presenting to alameda county officials that will be based on information she receives from here in san francisco. once i get the report, i'll make sure it's posted on our website and delivered to commissioners, as well.

again, if approximate members of the public would like to contact the department of police accountability, we are on shrine at sfgov.org/dpa, or you can contact them at 244-7711, and that concludes my report, although i am likely to have comments on several of the items coming up on the agenda. >> vice president elias: are there any questions for director henderson? i believe it's two cases, director henderson. >> director henderson: oh, is it? >> vice president elias: yes. okay. public comment. >> clerk: at this time, members of the public may address the commission for up to two

minutes by approaching the podium or pressing star, three. there is no public comment. >> vice president elias: great. next item. >> clerk: item 5, commission reports. commission reports 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. commission president's report, commissioners' reports. commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for consideration at future commission meetings. >> vice president elias: commissioner yanez? >> commissioner yanez: thank you. i hate to challenge my inner

commissioner hamasaki, but there was a report put out by the center on juvenile and criminal justice with an analysis and really disturbing things. they're not necessarily news, but when we aggregate information and there are numbers that are as alarming as these, i think they merit further discussions, so i definitely want to agendize that analysis of the cost per effort, per, what is it? residents and policing in san francisco and the challenges that we have with improving our racial disparities. so i note that i also want --

and so forth. >> chief scott: i can answer that we. as far as the latino and hispanic communities, our department does collect that data and d.p.a. has it in a report. i don't know what they base that on, but i do know that several years ago there was a record about how that data was collected by the sheriff's department on a citywide basis. i don't know if all of those issues got solved, but that was part of the conversation that's being worked on right now. as far as the police

department, we report those statistics, and they can be found in the qadr report that we report to this commission on a regular basis. . >> commissioner yanez: and when you make that report, do you have a way to report on the african diaspora and hispanic and latino? >> chief scott: no. we don't have that type of breakdown. i know that is something that's been discussed at a citywide level, but it's been on the discussion for several years

now. >> commissioner yanez: great. thank you. >> vice president elias: thank you. also. commissioner yanez, the ripa recommendations and the progress on the ripa recommendations are also being agendized in april. >> chief scott: and vice president, can i make one more comment to the ripa? it's what the officers perceive, not what's verified. it's important to make that noted. >> vice president elias: commissioner carter-oberstone? nothing? okay. commissioner byrne? >> commissioner byrne: thank you. i -- one thing i'd like to

agendize, i mentioned before, the police department issue on when the officers stand idly by when crimes are being committed. there's more than one incident that's been reported in the press, and i think this commission hear about what if anything is -- and i hope that is not a trend, but i note it is an interest in the community on that issue. the other thing i wanted to report is i'm going to try to do an evening patrol with the officers in the tenderloin by the end of this month. i've done the daytime patrol, and i'm just curious to see what it's like at night time down there and to see what's going on because i think it's important to highlight that

area. thank you. thank you. >> vice president elias: thank you. i think that we also asked to agendize on a prior occasion some of the complaints which you just wanted to agendize on standing idly by, so when we make that presentation, we can also address your concerns so we can have it on all at once. >> commissioner byrne: thank you. >> vice president elias: commissioner yee? >> commissioner yee: thank you, vice president cindy elias. i wanted to work on social policies and making sure that whatever we have in the social policy, making sure that the incident that happened at central station doesn't happen again, avoid being anybody, i

guess, mistakenly click on the light button when it's not appropriate. that's something i'd like to see maybe put on the agenda. >> vice president elias: the social media policy? >> commissioner yanez: yes. >> vice president elias: okay. >> commissioner yanez: and last week, i was invited to the lee family banquet. they congratulated the officers doing their best to keep our city safe the last couple of years, so i'll end that, making sure we congratulate central station, so thank you, chief, and thank you, madam vice president cindy elias. >> vice president elias: thank you. can we get public comment?

>> clerk: at this time, the public is now welcome to make public comment regarding line item 5, commission reports. if you'd like to make public comment, please step up to the podium or press star, three. vice president elias, there is no public comment. >> vice president elias: great. next item. >> clerk: line item 6, discussion regarding order regarding plaintiff's motion for sanctions in spiers versus city and county of san francisco, case number 20-cv-01357-jsc, discussion. >> vice president elias: thank you. colleagues, this item is on the agenda because i wanted to give my colleagues a chance to read and digest any of the issues cited. city attorney, do you have any

questions? >> i do, but would you like me to go first? good evening, commissioners. we took the comments made at the last meeting and had an in-depth look at our cases over the last five years. inevitably, any materials given to the city attorney's office is covered by the attorney-client privilege, so there's concern about those communications and litigation strategy, so within that, we took a look, and in the past five years, we found two things. one is our most 1983 cases were

in two buckets. we did not find within our cases anything that was similar to this, where we had an i.i.d. pending case along with the 1983 case. so we wanted to give you that assurance that we don't have something in the similar posture. what we also did was meet with sfpd and d.p.a. and discuss that matter of what we were concerned about in terms of how do we ensure that sfpd and the city attorney's office has all the information that we need, and we revised the unit order based on the comments that we heard from the commission. so you have a revised unit order on your desk in front of you that is clear, and it provides essentially that the only instance in which the city attorney's office would not

receive is if asked. i think it depends on the relationship between the city attorney's office and sfpd, when they were asked. i don't want to say yes, because it depends on the situation. we will receive all documents now. we will receive them, and we will litigate that, whether we're going to be turning them over during litigation in the court. >> vice president elias: but i think the issue is the department is going to be turning overall documents whether you ask for them or not. >> all documents will be turned

over to the city attorney's office except those highlighted by a separate court order. >> vice president elias: okay. i wonder if you can highlight the changes because this is different than what you presented last week. >> it's still an order but if you can look at the back. >> vice president elias: is it on the sanction? >> yes. >> vice president elias: any sanctions regarding sfpd, they should notify the police commission. will this notification to the police commission be the sector will you forward it to all commissioners? >> this is actually directed to police legal in terms of that, so i think it would be, correct me if i am wrong, it be

police legal. >> chief scott: police legal will notify the secretary. we can put that in the process, and then, the secretary notifies the commission. >> vice president elias: will police legal -- how will they get notified there's an issue? will police legal on its own accord be notified -- >> chief scott: if the city attorney's representing his client, which is us, and an attorney comes down, a sanction on order comes down, typically, we get notified by the city attorney, but typically, we are in those hearings, and if, by chance, there's some chance that our attorney for police legal is in court, that determination would need to be made, as well. >> vice president elias: when you say police legal, it's an

attorney. it's sworn officers and attorneys in that unit. >> chief scott: there are sworn officers that represent the department in certain issues, but this was about the attorney representing his client. but either way, that notification would go to the secretary of the commission. if it's an attorney, police legal in court, and some sanction comes down or some order comes down to meet this notice, that notification would need to come from police legal to the commission office, the secretary. >> vice president elias: and who's in charge of police legal now? >> commander paul yapp is now. they also have a captain, mark coda. >> vice president elias: okay. that's the only changes that i had to the order. do any of my fellow commissioners have any changes or requests? commissioner carter-oberstone?

>> commissioner carter oberstone: just one question, not a change. when service members are responsive to a request, what is the responsibility that all of those requests are turned over? is it a test of the member's cell phone? how does that work? >> chief scott: i can answer that. on a department device, we do a phone dump, so all the text messages that are -- have been sent or received in that phone, we can pull the records, and that is what's done. there's also a direct request to the member, and for a couple of reasons. number one, they may be conducting business on the device that's not a department device, and we don't have access to those type of

records, so we also directly inquire. so both of those are done in these types of cases, and whatever records are pulled are put in the case file. >> vice president elias: okay. public comment? >> clerk: at this time, the public is now welcome to make public comment regarding line item 6. if you'd like to make public comment, please approach the podium or press star, three. and vice president elias, there's no public comment. >> vice president elias: next item. >> clerk: line item 7, presentation from the department and hill arrested heintze, phase three progress report and sustain -- hillard

heintze. >> chief scott: so just a brief introduction. the powerpoint is only seven slides, so i'll get to that really quick. first of all, i wanted to thank the commission for giving us this opportunity to report on the c.r.i. i know with the events of the california d.o.j., it kind of

got overshadows by the events of the day, but there's been a lot of work done in terms of 90% of compliance of 242 of the 278 recommendations. we still have a lot of work to do in terms of sustainability and the remaining 27 recommendations, and i'll talk about that in a second in terms of how we plan to do that. this has been a long -- as you all know, you've been here for a number of years. it's been a long and arduous task to get these implemented. we know there are some budgetary incident tasks, but despite that, we are going to be pushing forward to implement

all of the recommendations. of the 245 recommendations that are in substantial compliance, there are a number that have preidentified sustainability measures that were written in the report, but i'll turn it over to miss kirby and let her talk about the slides. >> thank you. in regards to the time constraints, i'll limit the information that i'm going to present on the slides, but [indiscernible] have been part of this project since its inception in the usdoj program.

i think as we come out of phase three and the chief talks about the sustainability program, it's important to recognize where we came from. in 2016, the chief asked the [indiscernible] technical assistance program. after the publication of the report, the assessment was 278 recommendations, and then, they reached out to the california department of justice.

[indiscernible] the work with the california department of justice has resulted if improvements in phase three.

what we're really seeing is reduced use of force by sfpd officers and reaching out to mentally challenged health communities has been nationally recognized with the source policies and continues to grow along the continuum of crisis response. most of the work in achieving the reform goals in terms of substantial compliance was recognized in phase three, but we need to recognize the [indiscernible]

going to move on, the

department continues to demonstrate its intention to go and to drive further reform. what i can say is that the challenges will continue. we have systems issues, we have community issues, and we have the need to further integrate and implement internal controls through measures and substantiate our reform. i think that the department continues to reflect, and that's what this report demonstrates. for example, d.g.o. 3.01 [indiscernible] is a strong reflection of that commitment. this department and the community will have a role in voicing how the community of san francisco will be policed. i also think that the on going engagement between d.p.a. and

the department on substantive issues is one of the more promising practices to come out, director henderson has been an active partner during the collaborative reform project, and we continue to see [indiscernible] the california department of justice will continue to maintain its oversight goals which i think is a huge component of future success. we know that issues remain, and as transparency will continue to grow, this report identifies the department's ability to engage, identify, and correct problems that were done at the time of this assessment. we believe that this department is capable of delivering on the

main recommendations. at this time, i will revert back to the chief and will remain available to answer any questions that arise as a result of this presentation. >> chief scott: thank you, debra, and i know i only have about three minutes, so i'm going to get through this quickly. >> vice president elias: 1:40. >> chief scott: 1:40. if i can go to slide two, i'm going to highlight what this is about. sustainability is a heavy lift when it comes to reform, it's a very heavy lift, and this brief powerpoint is going to describe quickly what we're intending to sustain and how we're going to do it. go to slide two, please. this is basically the crux of the number of recommendations, 187, and as you add that bottom line across, it's 187, is the number of recommendations that

have some type of sustainability types of metrics written in the recommendations. the bottom is the number of recommendations. the first four columns are the recommendations of the sustainability requirements in those recommendations. so one recommendation might have, could have a number of sustainability requirements. the next thing on this -- the next slide, please, is how we do that, and part of that is creating a master c.r.i. sustainability spreadsheet that calls out what needs to be done. there's a whole set of oversight and accountability measures that need to be constantly -- well, implemented and constantly completed for us to reach the goal on that, like the yearly community policing plans and other things. before covid, precovid, we

actually had it set up and the meeting scheduled, and we had to reassign a number of those officers and sergeants back to patrol, so we are starting that back up now under the leadership of deputy chief lozar and our now c.e.d., the captain delgandeo, so i think that's an example of the matrix and the grid. next slide. although it takes people to oversee this work, we will have reminders to officers and supervisors and professional staff of when things are due. that's helped to enhance the sustainability and make sure we're on target as far as meeting our due dates and our

oversight. next slide. also, the report spells out how we will maintain sustainability and compliance. it fills out the process for timely updates and providing of materials. one of the things that we put in place this past year to make sure we got the recommendations completed is the assistant chief, myself, the director of public policy and the executive director of strategic management met regularly with the commanders in charge of reform, and those meetings are

regular. if it was within reason, we really made that happen, and it really became accelerated, so that's going to be part of our maintenance, and next slide -- i think that's the -- and this just identifies the type of records that the c.r.i. process entails. electronic records, hard copies, spreadsheets. the other thing i haven't mentioned is keeping the commission and public updated. we've gotten some feedback from our public groups such as wealth and disparities to make this information transparent, and we've done that. we've loaded most of this information on our website, so that is also something that we are committed to doing, and i think that's the last -- timeline. sorry. timeline is in front of you in

terms of implementation with the m.o.u. that was signed and supported by the commission with the california d.o.j. we have two years, basically, under this current m.o.u. to complete the remaining recommendations. we do think there's four of them that will be contingent upon technology, and we are hopeful that we can get that technology, but short of that, 23 recommendations, we're committed, and we believe we can get done within that two-year span. so here's the timeline for our sustainability implementation. what's going to happen in the next two months is in front of you. and next slide, please. questions or comments? i know it took longer than a minute. >> vice president elias: i know that. apparently our timer broke. so what happens or what's the accountability piece that's going to be in place for situations where, all right, we say we've done these recommendations, we've checked

the box, we did this, but then, in the future, when we look at it, and the fact that some of the policies that we are implementing, and the boxes we checked, some of the things aren't working? meaning, the culture isn't changing, and the violations that go against some of these reform efforts, and the behaviors that just don't align with the reform or the boxes we checked? then what happens? >> chief scott: well, i think there's a multiprong answer to that question. reform is never going to create a perfect organization, but what it does do is allow us to make adjustments. in policing, you're having to make adjustments all the time. if there's neglected duty associated with those issued, will that be an internal issue with the department of policing

affairs or will it be a department issue? part of this process was revamping our discipline system and our penalty guide and all of that, so we have transparency with officers. one of the findings was that officers didn't understand and believed that the discipline system was unfair and biased to certain people. and reform, if it's done the way it's designed to do, it's appropriate, and it's part of this process. the training and how we adjustment to whatever the issue of the day is, is really what reform is geared to do, and in my professional opinion because you always -- there's always some issue that comes up. how do we adjust to it, disparities. how are we going to deal with disparities? what policies are we putting in place to try to deal with that? and if we're not, we have to

adjust and put in place new policies that work. part of the thing with the d.o.j. was it was taking us way too long to make the changes. we were going around the system and weren't the best way to do business, and now, we've fixed that. this aggressive d.g.o. schedule will help us, and the accountability has to be fair and consistent and appropriate, but i think there's always going to be issues in policing. the question is that's what that concern is about. >> vice president elias: but the question is who's going to police us? now, it's hillard heintze, and they check the box, but in the future, who's going to check the box in saying hey, it's not

working and coming to fruition the way you thought it out? >> chief scott: yeah, i hear what you're saying, but it's really not a check box thing, because ultimately, the department is going to hold whoever is sitting in my seat and the department management holds us accountable.

>> director henderson: it makes

sense to me one of the best ways that we can keep informed in the reforms that have been made and the items that have been reported on is to have updates so we can see how the department is implementing those changes. again, my suggestion is weekly updates that include a quarterly update and an annual summary that both looks at the data, collects the data, analyzes the data in a more published way that we can track these things so we aren't having the same discussions and ambiguity three months from now, six months from now, on issues that have been addressed internal that should be external, so that's my comment. >> vice president elias: thank you. commissioner yanez? >> commissioner yanez: thank you, vice president elias. a couple of questions on the

sustainability timeline. you talk about review of bias recommendations. i'd like to know what that specifically entails, and when you're reviewing recommendations, are we looking at metrics to introduce because when i was looking at the numbers covid and precovid, the disparities stayed pretty consistent. and i guess this would be a question also for the heintze consulting group, because in their experience, how long does it take to gain traction going from revising d.g.o.s and, you know, creating the structures for accountability and for that to begin to reap the rewards of and impact in those, you know, discrepancies?

. >> chief scott: that is the question, and i know miss kirby is still on the line, and i'll weigh-in. some changes can be immediate. if you have a policy change, we have not had a policy change since 2016 when that was implemented. that policy change no longer exists because we don't use it anymore. others take some time. i don't know if anybody could have predicted how impactful the last, you know, five years after our last use of force policy have actually been, almost a 60% decrease in use of force and about 70% decrease in pointing of firearms. five years, and we've seen a steady decline, can't say we can expect that for every policy change. the disparity is, i think, a

bigger hill to climb for us, and to your other question before miss kirby weighs in on this, the general review of the bias recommendations is just that. there's a number of bias recommendations, and many of them will allow us to have better outcomes for what this was designed to do, so that's how we're working. i know you asked for miss kirby's opinion on that, as well. >> yeah, and thank you. [indiscernible] when we look at what is improvement and what are the outcomes and goals, the work in what was traditionally called bias at the time in 2016, so that tells you how things change, has been progressive in this department. they just did some substantial

outreach at the time of this report. so they're identifying a dashboard, and now, it's a question of measuring outcomes and seeing what is the contributing outcomes to what are disparities, and are they relates to outcomes, are they relates to systems issues, and being able to address it in a more intelligence perspective in terms of what do the data show and what is the response? i think san francisco is not alone in its struggle. i think there's some exaggeration, but i think you develop a sort of oversight for both now and in the future. i think the chief has

identified specific factors that are measured now, and that is decreased force against people of color in san francisco. that is ultimately the outcome there, but that's been enough, right? there's more work to come, and i think that what we've seen is a framework that will allow that, and as the department builds up its work plan, they will start to see the impacts. the department is looking at that, and i think we'll work with the cal d.o.j. and that improvement gets us there, but i don't think anybody can measure the outcome on disparity and when it'll be resolved. >> commissioner yanez: i guess i would like to echo director

henderson's sentiment around the more we can get information in real-time. i don't know if we can come to agreement whether this happens on a monthly basis or a quarterly basis, but i think these items continue to come up and they merit that level of investigation, so i will continue. >> vice president elias: yeah, why don't you speak with director henderson, and we can can agendize it. >> director henderson: yeah. was there an assignment with that? i don't know if we ever did an assignment with it, but maybe that would be a great way for commissioner yanez to summarize or monitor which matrix we want to be monitoring. we can't fix what we aren't

monitoring, and we can't fix what we don't know. >> vice president elias: perhaps you can collaborate with director henderson. >> commissioner yanez: okay. great. >> vice president elias: public comment. >> clerk: members of the public who would like to make public comment, please approach the podium or press star, three. good evening, caller. you have two minutes. >> hi. this is wealth and disparities in the black community once again. i'm glad to hear this presentation, of course. i've been waiting for this for a long time. wealth and disparities in the black community has tracked the d.o.j. project since the very beginning in 2016.

[indiscernible] arrest, use of force, and traffic stops. in the report from 2016 to the present day, sfpd has reported [indiscernible] as some of you have noticed. [indiscernible] while i think we're all eager to hear good news about sfpd, this report is not awfully meaningful, given that the core data that drove the reason for this work has not changed. commissioner yanez has asked about metrics. you have metrics are not. you have these numbers in the

96-a reports and elsewhere. they haven't changed, so while they [indiscernible] it hasn't, and therefore, i think there needs to be something else at work here to set metrics around those disparity reductions and hold the sfpd accountability for the use of those metrics. what they're doing now isn't working. we can't just about proactive. we can't sit back and wait for some signs from elsewhere to talk about what we're doing. it's great to get the report, and we all want good news, but we need to be realistic and look at what's actually happening in the eye. thank you.

>> clerk: vice president elias, that was the end of public comment. >> vice president elias: thank you. next. >> clerk: line item 8, public comment on all matters pertaining to item 10 below, closed session, including public comment on item 9, vote whether to hold item 10 in closed session. if you'd like to make public comment on item 8, press star, three or approach the podium. and vice president elias, there is no public comment. >> vice president elias: great. next item. >> clerk: item 1, vote on whether to hold item 10 in closed session, including vote on whether to assert the attorney-client privilege with regards to item 10-a, san francisco administrative code section 67.10. >> vice president elias: great. i need a motion and a second.

redevelopment agency and ocii to fund the mexican museum and have it located in the former redevelopment project area. the support of the redevelopment agency goes back to at least the early 1990s with commitment of site funds and resources to try to make the museum a reality. in spite of the fact that the redevelopment area expired in 2011 and that the redevelopment agency dissolved in 2012, ocii as a successor agency has been able to continue to support the museum. aaron foxworthy, the acting development services manager, will now present on the latest to present this museum into reality. >> thank you, interim director morales. good afternoon chair and commissioners.

i'm aaron foxworthy, your acting development and real estate services manager. today i'm before you to request authority under ocii's grant agreement with the mexican museum. to enter into a fifth disbursement agreement as well as second amendment to the grant agreement. extending the time for further funding. next slide, please. some brief background. in to 10, the former redevelopment agency entered into a agreement to fund up to $10.65 million for construction of a permanent home to the museum. intended to be located within approximately 48,000 square foot commercial condominium parcel. within the large easier 706 mission residential tower at mission and 3rd streets. under the agreement, the developer is responsible for construction of the core and shell of this space. and the museum is responsible

for funding and constructing the interior improvements, in part using grant funds under the 2010 grant agreement. too-to-date, the museum has used approximately $2.8 million to fund predevelopment activities and $1 million to fund the construction of a beautiful art screen over the exterior of the future museum space, leaving approximately $6.78 million in grant funds remaining. the 2010 grant agreement and the authority to expend these funds will expire june 14 of this year. next slide, please. a brief update on the overall project. the overall project, which houses the museum space, is nearing completion. the first of 190 residential units was completed in winlter of 2020 with more continuing to come online all the time. the 706 mission developer has more or less completed construction of the corn shell of the museum space and the city is preparing to accept it. the city and the museum entered into a lease of the

museum space in 2015. next slide, please. a brief visual depiction of the location of the space is shown in orange here on the first four floors of the 706 mission building. next slide. the museum has now requested a fifth disbursement agreement of grant funds. turn 2010 agreement, a disbursement agreement is required to govern the disbursement of these grant funds and in particular to establish a detailed budgets and description of the work to be funded and detailed procedures for the disbursement of funds based on the success can feel completion of performance milestones. next slide, please. thus staff has repaired a disburse. -- disbursement of $5.21 million.

it incorporates our standard model of reimbursement based on complete work and for the museum's detailed and skoem of work. grant funds will support preadditional activitis the including contracting with a design-build team, the creation of design drawings, fundraisinging and collection administration and project management of the above listed activities. next slide, please. in addition, o.c.i. staff are also requesting authorization to amendment the 2010 grant agreement to extend its term by 24 months or until june 14, 2024. for the museum, the extension is necessary to allow the museum to recupe lost time due to the pandemic and other design team challenges that have occurred over the last few years. the museum is has proposed an innovative design-build approach that is intended to expedite the project as well

as maximize l.b.e./s.b.e. participation on the promise and construction could begin as soon as april 2023 and could be completed by february 2024. next slide, please. so, finally, regarding next steps, if authorized today by the commission, we would seek to execute the fifth disbursement agreement as soon as possible to allow funds to start flowing to the museum and we will need approval of the oversight board and d.o.f. for the grant agreement extension with the oversight board tentatively planned for march 28 and 45 days after that for d.o.f. to review and approve the extension. ocii and the museum team are co-ordinating to hopefully make these requests accessible. and now representatives of the museum team would like to provide a brief address to the commission on these matters so i'll turn it over to victor marquez, general counsel for the museum, to

introduce the museum team. victor? >> thank you, aaron. good afternoon, chair bustos, commissioners and staff. and interim director morales. thank you for your consideration today. of two items that aren't before you, which is the fifth grant disbursement agreement as well as the second amendment to the grant agreement to enable the museum down to a full 6.785 million in the 2010 december 14 grant agreement for the development and construction of the museum. and we respectfully ask that you approve both of these motions before you today. we do want to thank the staff for all their hard work and, in particular, aaron foxworthy and raymond lee who are consummate professionals and who have been supportive and responsive and simply awesome with their work. today we have mexican museum

chair andrew kluger as well as members of the building committee which will be presenting and available for questions. andy? >> you are on mute if you're trying to speak. do you want to go to the next person? >> yes. [talking over each other] >> i didn't see andy on the attendee list so you may move on to the building team. >> absolutely. i would like the introduce miguel galarsa and ray kasaza who, along with the chair of the building committee, alfredo pedrosa have been doing a tremendous amount of heavy lifting and work and without further ado, the lead spokesperson today is going to be ray. ray, if i could turn it over to you.

>> actually, i'm going to start off. >> sure. go ahead, anne. please. >> good afternoon, president bustos and commissioners. i'm one of the members of the mexican museum committee. thank you for allowing to do this briefing on the build-out of the mexican museum. we're a committee composed of seven seasoned design professionals and project managers and construction workers who have been working for the past two years to construct this project. today, ray will brief you on the project with both myself and miguel will talk to the issues on scheduling and [inaudible]. and the status of today's market. >> good afternoon, director and commissioners.

this is ray kasada, member of the building committee. one of the things we wanted to talk about was the use of the design-build and specifically a progressive design-build type of procurement of the construction. just a little bit of background. i was a project manager at san francisco international airport for almost 20 years and actually introduced the design -- the progressive design-build process at s.f.o. in 2008-2009 timeframe and it's a system that they continuously use now. they have refined it since i left. but it is a way in which we can work closely with the contractors and the designers to begin procuring materials and doing the design progressively because it gives us an opportunity to control costs and schedule

activities. one of the things that it allows us to do is to do some early procurement of material and things that we can use to save costs in the long run because of a high cost installation now and the shortage of materials which can have a negative impact on the schedule as well. that is the proposal that we're trying to do. we can also utilize as we did at s.f.o. very successfully the participation of local, small, disadvantaged businesses in the process. if. you have any questions, i'd bz more than happy to answer them. >> thank you. do we have andy kluger on the phone?

>> i have texted him. he's having technical difficulties. >> ok. let me know if he called in and i can unmute him. but if he is not on -- andy, if you are on the attendee's list and you called in, can you press star 3 so i can identify you on your touch tone phone? press star 3. there you go. there he is. ok. hello? >> hello? can you hear me? >> yes. >> this is what happens when you become a prehistoric man. so i apologize. i was trying to call several times. ok. i just wanted to make a couple of comments, chairman bustos, if i could? >> yes, plea. >> i want to thank the ongoing support of the mexican museum. the pandemic has certainly brought unprecedented challenges for all but we are pleased to continue to work in partnership with ocii, to

make the dream of the mexican museum a reality, the san francisco, the state of california, the country and the world. i also wanted to let you know that we have a complete level of confidence on the members of the building committee and we thank them very much for working with us and having their support. that's basically my comments. >> thank you. mr. marcus, else? >> no. you know, we look forward to ,after today's hearing, we'll continue to work with staff and then looking forward to hopefully what would come after going through the oversight committee to do a sixth disbursement agreements. we hope to be in front of you in the very near future. thank you. >> madame secretary, do we have anyone from the xubl ♪ ♪ ♪ ♪ -- from the public -- are

we done with staff? >> yeah. that was our presentation. if you want to move to the next slide. >> ok. great. thank you. madame secretary, do we have anybody from the public who wishs to provide a comment before the commissioners provide their questions? >> at this time, members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 415-655-0001 and enter access code 2495-157-2378. press the pound sign and then the pound sign again. and then press star 3 to submit your request to speak. press star 3 to submit your request to speak if you are already on the phone with us. mr. chair, it does not appear there are any members of the public wishinging to comment on this item.

>> thank you, madame secretary. hear nothing requests to speak on this item, i'll close public comment and now i'll provide the commission an opportunity for any comments or concerns or questions they may have regarding their presentation and our vote. i'd like to start with commissioner scott. commissioner scots, any questions or comments? >> just a comment, mr. chair. and to aaron and your team, thank you for the presentation that was given. i'm just so excited. i've been excited about the diversity of san francisco. but i'm more excited to see the diversity represented and to bring the mexican museum to this part of the city in an elegant, very professional and stellar way. i'm just so proud. i'm proud of your team. the makeup of your team. just melts my heart.

and just the fact that you've got a strong, professional team to build up the representation and the truth of our mexican community. i just applaud you. thank you so much. >> thank you, commissioner scott. vice chair rosales. questions or comments? >> i don't have any comments. i'm ready to move both items. i did verizon a quick question. i just want to make sure that i underthe presentation on the next step. i think i heard you say on march 15, once the fifth disbursement agreement is executed, are funds able to be expended at that point or do we have to wait through the various approval processes before the funds are expended, give than we still have some time on the existing agreement?

>> yeah. we would not have to wait on the oversight board or d.o.f. to expend funds. we can get that money flowing right away. >> ok. that's what i thought i heard you say. thank you. no more questions but i approve both items. >> thank you. i just want to thank the team. first i wants to thank museum for all of your hard work. it seems like there's been a lot of wonderful progress. and i want to thank ocii staff for their work in making sure this museum becomes a reality. you know, this was once part of mexico. the land in which we were on. so, there's no better way to celebrate part of the history than to have a museum as part of the crown jewel of the [speaking in spanish], which means "good earth" and this

is an important thing for this commission. i was on redevelopment commission when we were talking about this museum. so i'm delighted that it is moving forward. i hope that our city family, everyone who is a public servant within the city departments continueses to support this because this is a public benefit. not only for san franciscans and not just for the latino community, but for everyone who comes to this city. our mayor is on her way to europe. and i'm sure she is going to be touting the diversity of our city and this museum and this community plays a part of that. so i just want to -- i can't emphasize enough that the city needs to come and rally behind this museum. and make sure that not only this museum, but all museums r supported as cultural institutions of vital importance for people.

especially people, the young kids. so, vice chair, you have moved this item, both items. we will take both of them separately. but we will record that you did move both of them, i believe. correct. so i would need a second for from another commissioner. >> chair, i second. >> do you second for both of them, right? or one? >> yes, sir. >> ok. thank you. so we have a motion and as second. madame secretary, can you please take roll for item number 5c? >> commission members, please announce your vote -- [roll call] >> mr. chair, the vote three ayes, would be absence. >> thank you. may i get a motion that has

already been provided by chair rosales for number 5d and i believe commission r scott, if you affirm that you second the motion as well. >> yes. i second the motion. >> thank you. madame secretary, please take roll. >> commission members, please announce your vote for item 5d. [roll call] >> mr. chair, the vote is three ayes, one absent. >> thank you. many motion carries. madame secretary, please call the next item. >> next is agenda item 5e, amending ocii's small business enterprise, s.b.e., policy to conform to the small local business enterprise, small-lbe size thresh holds and the methodology for determining small l.b.e. of the city and county of san francisco.

discussion and action resolution number 7-2022. aaron moralez? >> commissioners, as you know, ocii is separate from the city and county of san francisco. but we attempt to the greatest extent fobl meet or exceed the city standards for equal opportunity programs, including the programs for small and disadvantaged [inaudible]. you have before you today the latest effort to maintain consistency with the city for ocii's programs regarding small businesses. ray lee will start this presentation and give you an update on that. thank you. >> good afternoon, commissioners. what i'd like to do is to

have yvonne, our compliance staff, provide the presentation and i'll be happy to answer questions afterwards. thank you. s >> thank you. good afternoon, chair, vice chair and commissioners. i'm contract compliance specialist and i'd like to present the proposed amendment for the agency small business enterprise policy and seek your approval. next slide, please. the agency as well as the commission advocate for small businesss to thrive. on november 16, 2004, a small business enterprise policy was adopted. this policy replaced the former agency's long-standing minority and women business enterprise policy. since then, it has been amended as a stand-alone policy, encouraging our developers and contractors to

hire small businesses from the project area. next slide, please. late last year, the city adopted an ordinance which amended the san francisco administrative code 14b, the local enterprise program. i'm here before you today to request your support and approval of amending the agency's small business enterprise policy once again to harmonize with the cities. this change will increase the size thresholds allowing small businesss to not graduate from qualifying as a small business. this requested change will also look at a five-year average growth receipt instead of three. all size thresholds that are part of our small business policy will increase except for specialty construction contractors. i'll explain on the next sly. next slide, please.

the proposed thresholds are based on thele toing. for construction services t current threshold is $20 million. we are requesting an increase of $20 million to get to $4 million. the city just increased the specialty construction contractors to $12 million but the agency is at $4 million so there will not be changes to our policy. suppliers are at $10 million and would like to increase the threshold to $12 million. personal professional services currently at $.5 million and the requested increase will bring it to $5 million. and last but not least is trucking. the current threshold is $3.5 million and the proposal amount is $5 million. the last amendment like this was requested in july of 2015. it allowed us to be consistent with the city and help us create a one-stop shopping certification environment. next slide, please.

>> next slide, please. ok. thank you. we'll just move on. thank you so much for your presentation.

>> thank you. that concludes my presentation. madame secretary, do we have anyone from the public who wishs to provide a comment? >> are there any members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item, please call 415-655-001, access code is 2495-157-2378. press the pound sign twice to enter the call and then press star 3 to submit your request to speak. if you've already joined us by phone and would like to provide public comment on this item, press star 3 on your touchtone devices. there are no members -- excuse me. i stand corrected. we do have a caller. hang on, please. >> caller: good afternoon. i'm oscar james and a native resident of bay view island's point. i would strongly support this program for minority business person. thank you very much. >> thank you, mr. james. anybody else? >> mr. chair, i do not see any other callers. >> ok. hearing no further twos speak on this item, i'll close public comment and turn to my fellow commissioners for any questions or comments they may have. commissioner scott? >> thank you, mr. chair.

ray lee and to the young lady, yvonne, thank you for your presentation and it just makes good sense to me. i was thinking about it and i thought what other county does what san francisco so generously has done to open doors to others out of the residents and allow the same benefits. it makes sense to me that we would make sure that our residents were given that local benefit -- just getting what they need and deserve and not have to compete for it. so i am just grateful for this change to conform to the small, local business enterprise. thank you.

>> thank you. vice chair rosales? >> yes. thank you to the staff for the presentation. i absolutely, whole heartedly support this item. some folks know that throughout my career i've had a significant hand in the craft drafting and the amendment of the san francisco local business program and the amendments on the city side and working on a multiyeared effort so we were in the group that was pushing and advocating for those changes. it makes sfrens an efficiency stand point that our program mirror to the maximum extent possible those changes so the one-stop-shop concept is exactly what i endorsed throughout my work in this field. so i think it is a great move.

i think we need to do it and maybe my only question that comes up in my mind as i'm speaking is i'm assuming we would advertise and how do we give notice to folks that this change happens on our side of the program? >> certainly on our website will be changed. we have information about our program in all of our marketing materials such as our s.b.e. agreements and the policy itself will be changed and reflective of what takes place today. >> ok. so, people know. ok. great. on the certification side, we still would rely on certification from the contract monitoring division. >> that is correct. >> so, mr. chair? so ray, it's good to have it on the website, but is there a way -- that is a good

question, mara, that you brought up. is theres a way for people, when you already know something, you assume it's the same until you know different. is there a way you can send out notices because there are so many people that are just wrapped up in trying to survive during this pandemic. it's not a regular, normal time where you can think about these things. maybe something has changed. everything's changing around us. but where do you look for that change? you may not even think of looking back and saying, oh, they thought about it. so is there a way you can send out information into the community, then just the important places of communicating this message and letting them know the difference and the advantage of it now. >> no, that is a very good point. we can certainly do a mass

e-mail to the firms that are currently certified within c.m.d. so, yes, that is an excellent idea. and that is something that we can easily accomplish. particularly with the technology today. we can certainly also send it out to small businesses that are not necessarily certified in san francisco but have done business with us. we have a record of each of those small businesses in our database so we'll be happy to send those information out to them as well. >> thank you. that would ensure that at least the word would be out there and if it could be ongoing and not just the one time shot. i'd say it would need to be something like a muscley announcement, if possible. just to make sure, because sometimes you hear things you don't know what it means. but when it's reputation is the mother of learning. and it would make good sense

to continue to repeat that. thank you. >> sure. >> thank you. so, commissioners, may i get a motion for this item, number 5e? >> excuse me. i move the item. >> thank you, vice chair. may i have a second? >> i second that move, mr. chair. >> thank you, commissioner scott. madame secretary, please take roll. >> commission members, please announce your vote for item 5e when i call your name. [roll call] mr. chair, the vote is three ayes, one absent. >> thank you. motion carries. please call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 6, public comment on nonagenda items. mr. chair? >> thank you. madame secretary, do we have anybody from the public who wishs to provide a comment?

>>at this time, members of the public who wish to provide public comment on this item should call 415-655-0001 and enter access code 2495-157-2378. press the pound sign and then the pound sign again. and then press star 3 to submit your request to speak. if you are already joined its and would like to extend a public comment, press star 3. and we do have a caller. here we go. >> ok. >> thank you. good afternoon, commissioners. you guys are doing a tremendous job. my name is oscar. i'm a native resident of [inaudible] point. i do not like this phone. would rather be there at the commission meetings. i want to comment on the african -- excuse me, on the mexican museum and i was cut off by a scam that came on my

phone so i was unable to comment on it but i'm glad you guys passed that because it's something that's definitely needed. and something supporting from the beginning. but one of the things that i do want to have were these grammar schools will be -- these museums and learn the history of all the different cultures that we have in san francisco. the other thing i want to say is i really appreciate what you guys are doing as a commission. your heart is really for the san francisco as a whole. you are better than the first commission 50 years ago when i first started coming to these meetings. so, keep up the good work. i love y'all. and god bless you, each and every one of you. >> thank you. >> thank you. >> next speaker? >> good afternoon, chair

bustos, commissioners and interim director morales. this is ben brandon, ocii's project manager. and i'd like to say a few words acteneding noing our recently departed interim director sally orth. her belief in the work that ocii does and her persistent aim to ensure that the agency does its work well is one of the imprints she'll leave on ocii. similarly, helping her staff to rise to be one of their best professional sell vs one of things i will appreciate most. i'm thankful for her management over the past two-years in particular. despite the pandemic and the agencies it brought, these past two years have been the most rewarding of my seven years at the agency. however, sally leaves a well-trained staff to leave our important work going forward under director morale less. i look forward to working urn him. sally has much to be proud of and for that, i'd like to thank her for becoming a mentor to me and supporter of

ocii work. thank you very much. >> thank you. next caller. >> i see other callers, but i just want to make sure that i didn't miss one. here we go. there is another one. >> hello, caller. >> hi. hi, commissioners. this is pam simms, ocii housing division and i, too, wanted to say a few words about our recently departed interim executive director. i've known sally for over 15 years and, in that time period, she showed dedication, strength and grit. also she is a san francisco redevelopment agency survivors in that she survived dissolution and just as a fellow survivor, it's always difficult to see one of the survivors leave us. but i do wish her well if she is listening and all future

adventures. thank you. >> thank you. next caller? >> mr. chair, i do not see any other callers with their hands raised. >> hearing no other requests to speak, i'll close public comment. madame secretary, next item. >> the next order of business is item 7, report of the chair. mr. chair? >> there's nothing to report at this time. please call the next item. >> the next order of business is item 8, report of the executive director. item 8a is presentation review and proposed art by the three selected finalists to create public art for mission creek park. mission bay south redevelopment project area. discussion. interim director morales? >> commissioner, as you know, the mission bay redevelopment plan requires that the private developers in that area either provide public art on site or contribute to a fund for public art.

for the most part, our developers over the years have built the public art on the sigh of development. but we have, nonetheless, received a significant amount of money which last year the commission approved in an m.o.u., the use by the art commission to fund public art and soon-to-be developed parks that are south of the mission bay channel. the project manager for mission bay is going to report on the efforts to use that money by the arts commission. mark?

>> mark, you are muted. i wanted to remind you in case you're trying to speak there. you go. >> ok. good afternoon. we are here to do a quick update on the selection of the artists for mission bay park. next slide, please. so the background, commercial and retail developers are required to provide public art or pay a fee of 1% of the hard costs and to date approximately $1.125 million in fees have been collected. in 2021, we entered into an m.o.u. with the san francisco arts commission to commission artists to install public art in the mission bay open space. and we decided to install that art in park p2. next slide, please. and just to reference here is the map of mission bay and

along the channel is part p2. next slide, please. there's a zoom in. the art work will be in p2 near the traffic circle. highly visible for everyone in mission bay. next slide, please. next slide, please. so far the selection last june, the san francisco art commission issued an r.f.q. there were 135 approximately cancel and we selected a short list of 30 artists and then the artists review panel reviewed that short list and selected three semifinalists. the c.a.c. and the community provided input on the semifinalists proposals and review panel and reviewed the

proposals and selected and recommended rigo 23 as the selected artist. next slide. jackie montesco now. we'll give a little information on the selected artists. thank you. >> thank you, mark. good afternoon, chair bustos, vice chair, interim executive director morales, ocii staff and members of public. my name is jackie and i'm a public art project manager for the san francisco arts commission and it gives me great pleasure to introduce you to rigo 23 with whom the art commission is excited to work for mission creek park. rigo came to san francisco in the early 1990s to attend the san francisco arts institute and stanford university to earn his b.s.n. in masters at each institution. rigo currently lives in burbank, california. but his roots in san franciscos are deep.

he is a founding member of thes alley mural project. you're also likely familiar with rigo's large graphic signs that have occupied our visual landscape over the past several decades, including one tree next to the u.s. 101 onramp as well as inner city calm, which is a mural on the side of an affordable housing high-rise on 6th street at fullsome. over the past 30 years, rigo 23 has exhibited his work internationally, placing his murals and paintings and sculptures and tile works in public situation where is viewers are encouraged to examine their relationship to their community and their role of public policy or their place on a planet occupied by many living things. throughout his decades' long practice, rigo has continually prioritized working with individuals and communities with an embodied historical knowledge of resistance and survival in the face of great adversity

and co-organizing inner communal exchange outside of traditional institutional frameworks whenever possible. so, without further ado, i'd like to pass the floor over to rigo to present his proposal for mission creek park which, as mark mentioned, was approved by an arts commission earlier this year. rigo? >> hi. oops. can you -- i'm not sure if you can hear me. >> we can hear and see you. thank you. >> ok. hi. thank you, jackie, so much for your wonderful introduction. thank you, commissioner miguel bustos and everyone present. it's definitely great to be -- to have been selected for this opportunity. san francisco left a great impression on me when i first

saw it as a 18-year-old visitor and so it's a great return and a great satisfaction to be able to give back to this project. you know, upon learning of the opportunity being presented to the public, i researched the site and was very happy to hear how there were documented registries of wildlife, namely grizzly bears that inhabited that area and a couple of them became a bit of local celebrities in the 1850s by way of having made their way from the creek, mission creek all the way into mission [inaudible].

spent a couple of nights at mission to learn. but anyway, we all know the presence of the grizzly [inaudible] part of the flag and the state seal. at the same time, these large animals are no longer inhabiting our state because of changes that were down to the environment. so i though that bringing their likeness into the downtown area and not so much as the threatening single males that are part of the family unit. so, we like to represent the female grizzly and two cubs in the process of eating and contemplating the landscape. they will be standing up on their hind legs and they will be stating the identity between humans and nonhumans. and then there will be

rendered in terra cotta tiles and i'll be working with a reputed and fantastic tile factory here in l.a. but i'm actually talking to you from. the sculpture will be rendered one and a half times life size. so, the mama bear will be about 13 1/2 feet tall. >> excuse me. could we do next slide, please? >> yes. sorry about that. >> great. yeah. so that's what -- you know, a computer rendering of the aspect of the work would be. so you have a cub that's riding on the mom's back, looking over her shoulder and that couple would be looking toward the downtown area. a recognizable silhouette of san francisco and the little one would be looking over his

or her shoulder toward the round-about and the oncoming traffic ins the island, so to speak, that mark mentioned. the paws and the noses and the claws, those elements will be rendered in bronze as will the vegetation that the grizzly mama is eating. and if there is another slide -- i don't believe so. yeah.

my intention is to create and go to a destination within the park. the park is a wonderful edition to the city. i will be quite long along the water. so i think this will be the correct height and recognizability that will create a bit of a landmark reference for people to, you know, plan meetings by and all of that. >> ok. great. thank you. next slide, please. i think the next step of the art is s.f. arts choice ining enter into the contract with rigo and then work on fwllg art. the park hopefully will start construction in the end of this year so hopefully the timing of the work being done will match perfectly. next slide, please. and that is the presentation. let us know if there are any questions. >> thank you, mark. commissioners, do we have any questions related to this item in the executive director's report? no? seeing and hearing none, i just want to thank you all.
