lieutenant bar, i'm filling in for chief scott. i'll start off with homicides, let you know that we have had 7 homicides during this reporting period, which is a 17% from 6 homicides from this time last year. thankfully we have a clearance rate of 100% from the homicide unit year to date. and we're doing well there. we have to continue to work on that. we have had no homicides during this rating period during this review period within the last week. our sexual assaults are down, year to date, we had 26 year to date, it's a 43 percent decrease. our aggravated assaults are staying within the same, versus 352 3* and our gun violence is down by 4%. there is two shootings that i would like to bring to your attention this evening. the first was on 21 of february in mcclairen park where an

unknown suspect approached the victim from behind, the suspect shot the victim and fled. that suspect was eventually taken into custody. we had a second shooting, at 3 .26 in the morning. the subject tried to take the property of the victim. there was no arrest in this case, i stand corrected there was no arrest yet in the mcklairn. the third incident there was a hate crime on the 400 block of china basin where on the 22nd of february an individual called another person a very derogatory name, several times before striking the victim well a cane, that person was placed under arrest by southern

officer they did a great job there. the next event was our attempt to arrest fentanyl sellers, one of our officer engaged in a foot pursuit, he hurt his ankle and foot in the process. thankfully that suspect was taken into custody, there was an arrest there. and the third and final incident, i want to share this evening, we've seen a up take in burglary in cannabis dispensary. in this case, on the 26th about 12:46 in the morning on the 500 block of brandon, they kidnapped one of the employees brought them over to oakland and brought them back and about 5 suspects accompanied the victim where a robbery took place. i know we encourage our captain to be connected with dispensary owners and have on going

conversation about safety and i'm going to ensure that we continue the conversations. it's very important to continue the relationship. thankfully, overall, overall crime is staying steady property crime being down, unfortunately violent crime is up by 4%. in terms of property crime, i just want to mention that burglary we're seeing a decline, we're seeing a decline in 2022 versus 2021, we're continue to go see a decline in burglar, 800 burglary year to date. our auto debt is 19% increase. we're starting to see more auto thefts and theft in general is 16% down, even though we have been working with retail establishment and others to make more efficient our reporting of organized retail. we still see that number down. all right, the other thing i would like to see with you, we

continue to see stunt driver take place at night. we have a stunt driving unit but we saw one on 24th and mission on the 24th and 5th and we saw that in the 5th in embarcadero. in ternlz of enforcement, we're still continuing our operations and disruptions very klaesed in the last week or two about the work we're doing there. and then cap street, we're dealing with prostitution working closely with supervisor ronen's office to deal with the community what is out there. this evening depending on what time the commission ends, i'll be on a cop and residents coffee night, to talk about some of our strategies, that is taking place today. we have the polar plunge event where the chief and i and some command staff members will be jumping in san francisco bay.

very excited to do that, you're more than welcome to join us. we do that to raise money for special olympics. yes, director henderson, hopefully we'll be jumping together. we enjoy doing that and we enjoy raising money and other agency sxz special olympics. and would i like to conclude with one item i saved the best for last, to talk about the work that the staff is doing. the chief and is have the opportunity to read captain complimentary reports, this is where the lieutenants and captains write-up on reports on great police work that is performed in the field. and our zap tins are very really good about recognizing our members. the one that i would like to share is only the 249ing of

january around midnight, there was a shot spoter activation, we have the technology where we hear gunshot detection and it happened just up the street on the 1500 block of goenld gate. so officers from the northern station responded to this location and they found shell casing and a suspect who had was armed and hiding behind a vehicle. what the officer decide today use do* is use their vehicles as a blockade. they decided to create time and distance, they start today work on decalation, negotiations, they had all the safety equipment that they needed and eventually they talked to people into the custody. and this sentence, had the responder deescalation and planning this would have resulted in a officer involved

shooting as as a result of rushing to arrest. this exemplifies the work that happens here and by the leadership of our chief, assistant chief, acting assistant chief flaherty are all doing these things to change the work and i thought i would end with that, thank you. >> thank you for that report. could you just clarify what the outcome was of the two stunt incidents that you discussed? >> yes, so for the two stunt driving events, the first one in 24th and mission was disbursed, we had the helicopter assist us, we're fortunate to have the helicopter. and what happens is we find that it starts up again, they made their way to the 46th00 block of mission. and then a few violators were

attached to the event, were stopped but the rest of the group went to richmond california. we have a unit that does a lot of follow-up after the fact. so that's the first one. the second one was between 1:30 and 2:30. officers responded, they disbursed the group and we prevented them from setting up in san francisco again. >> great, thanks so much. >> thank you. >> vice president, do you want to take it away as chair. >> i will likely take over. i don't see anybody else in the queue. with that, sergeant can you take us to public comment, please. >> members of the public that would like to make public comment, please approach the podium. >> speaker: good evening, again. i was just linsing to chief la

czar that saying doing a fundraiser for the special olympics. and i was wondering about fundraiser for unsolved homicides to solve unsolved homicides for families like myself. this boy did not deserve to die. he died saving somebody else's life. somebody shot my child. i don't care how many years it's been, it still hurts. thed body keeps the score, have you read that book? the body keeps the score. i keep the score.

people think i should be over this but i'm not. i was a no nonsense mom p he had a mother and a father living in a good neighborhood, i raised well and somebody took him from me. and i refuse to let the system and people forget about my child. his name was aubrey habercasa. that's what i named him. i was at the schools. even though i went from hurting, to healing to helping, i'm helping other mothers but, the helper needs help. i still grief for my son. he was full of life! full of life! and they took him from me.

>> that is the end of public comment. >> i just wanted to respond quickly so ms. brown. as always, we appreciate you so much coming to our meetings and/or speaking so passionately not just about your own son but all the families. who have been affected by unsolved murders. we, you know as we know we did agendize the issue a few weeks ago. and i'll just speaking for myself, i think the next step will be when the commission has policy staff person on board which should be very soon. i think tasking that person with the role of looking at other jurisdictions approaches to rewards. as we heard at the presentation the last time, there are a lot

of ways to do this. and seeing if there is best practices elsewhere that we can adopt here so that people are more likely to seek out reward. i just want to let you know that we have not forgotten about this issue and something that is very much on our minds and hoping that we can continue to make progress. thank you. >> next item please. >> report on bp as and actions. whether to calendar any of the future he's raised director henderson. >> it was not turned on. my microphone was not turned on.

we currently have 235 cases pending. and of those cases 26 cases who's investigation have gone beyond the 9-month investigation period. again there is still time on the 3304 deadline which is a year, of those cases 17 of those cases are blocked. this in terms of the enumerated cases through the week can be found on the website but i will not go through all of them. i will report that there is still nine cases that are pending with the commission and there are still 88 case that's are pending with the departments with the chief's office. and just to clarify those 88 cases are counted based on the excel from the department that are still awaiting a chief's hearing, one of the concerns that we have, is and start to

go toll the cases and we will continue making them more clear moving forward, 28 of those cases are more than two years old that are waiting a resolution. in terms of the cases that have come in this week into the department, 17% of them have been of the allegations from the public having for allegations involving an officer failing to take required action and 12% of them involved allegations regarding an officer behaving or speaking inappropriately to the public. again the full break down of the full 100% can be found on the website. in terms of the types of cases, there are also listed on the website. we try to track as much as that stuff as possible and to make

it as transparent as we can. in terms of precinct and i just report the top 2 allegations, the top 2 came from tenderloin which had 6 allegations and mission district which had 5 allegations. the allegations in the tenderloin involved predominantly failure to take action and inappropriate comment wz the public. and in the mission, the allegations involved arresting somebody without cause and properly issuing a citation and failure to respond to a domestic violence call. again these are allegations, the full break down of the allegations can be found on our website regarding all of the allegations that have come in this week. in terms of out reach, last week, dpa hosted the ccoa, that's california coalition and oversight agencies, the organization founded at dpa.

we had a two-day state conference to discuss best practices on police reform throughout the state. the first day, we had a keynote address, a cle training provided by dpa staff and jermaine johnson, jermaine jones. i caught it though. on the second day, we provide the training so a big thank you for that. this is the first time that an oversight agency has participated in the training. i think it goes a long way and changed a lot of perspective for the folks to see and understand better the day-to-day operations of officers making decision sxz then evaluating use of force circumstances.

really went a long way and again this is the first time that something like this has been provided. i wanted to acknowledge sfpd and the role that they played. i think it's going fob helpful moving forward. those speakers included our own president elias chief scott and representative who was represented by damon brown and myself. it was a great conference and i was glad that so many folks came to be part of it and learn and see what we're doing in san francisco and share their ideas to develop best practices. moving forward, dpa will be presenting this week at the haze valley neighborhood association.

that's on monday at 6:00. this is also open to the public in case people wanted to hear that presentation via zoom and its roll and how to contact dpa. it's basically our dpa101 for more information you can visit haze valley sf.org. chief organize, dia na rosenstein participated in the panel discussion for the national council of jewish women about the national approaching police reform. that panel was done with civil rights attorney john and retired san mateo chief of police, susan that was on february 27 of this year. in terms of the audit, dr psd, is prepared to send the draft

on monitoring of communication that will be the final step, the input for that review before it gets published with through the commission. we can expect that shortly. and there are no outstanding information request related to the audit division. again, i'll continue to report on that as we move forward. from our legal team, we're seeing a disturbing uptick and department denial for two reasons. these are questions that have been provided routinely and two the focus is on the officer involved shooting cases. so i will continue track thating and reporting out on that as we move forward. i'm hoping that the on going conversation that i'm having directly with the chief are going to address that but i'm raising the issue as a concern in something that we're noticing in-house.

we have no cases in closed session this evening. also present in the audience in case there are issues that need to be addressed is senior investigator brey and chief of staff sarah hawkins and i will reserve my comments to issue the rest of the issues as they come up in the agenda so as to address them in order. that concludes my presentation. >> commissioner benedicto. >> thank you, mr. oberstone. >> i don't know if it's right yet for the commission for public conversation about the actual cases but like i said, my concerns were raised immediately because these were the type of requests that were presented to us.

i hope that this is they're solved. >> these conversations have been going on with the chief directly, i just don't know that know, specifically. >> okay. that makes sense. okay, keep us posted on that. >> oh don't you worry about t you'll hear about it. i'll have specific details. >> all right, thank you director henderson. seeing no one else in the queue, sergeant can you take us to public comment.

>> members of the public that would like to make public comment regarding line item 5, please approach the podium. and there is no public comment. >> okay, next please. >> line 6 commission report will be limited to brief description and announcements. will be limiting whether any of the issues raised will be raised for commissioner meeting and schedule of items identified for consideration in the future commission meeting. >> commissioner benedicto. >> thank you, vice president oberstone. just a couple of quick things for my report. and the privilege of attending the black history brunch that was put on, it's safe to celebrate as many black leaders as we have in our community.

we have to, i got to sit and i got to see commissioner yee and it was, it was the first time that has been held in the community and a great, a great community event there. last week commissioner walker and i attended the internal affairs dpa training for officers that was put on by dpa and internal affairs. and that was, i was really glad we got to go to that. it was really helpful to see the questions officers asked on the process to dispel some of the misconceptions that may exist about the disciplinary process. i thank ia and dpa for putting on those training. commissioner yanez and i had another productive on 7.01

which covers the sfpd procedures around juvenile. and we did a lot of progress. we're hoping that the working work process will wrap up in the spring and will go into the next stage of developing process and will be before the commission as soon as possible and making progress there. i also did meetings with on develop order 10.11 which is an update to our body the sfpd body policy and working groups are also starting in the spring. and that concludes my report. >> commissioner yanez. >> thank you, vice president oberstone, ac lasar and the community in general. my report has commissioner benedicto says, we've been having a lot, making a lot of progress with the juvenile dgl division and in request and

coordination with chief scott, i've also had some additional conversations with partners that offer convergences, the the sent ne la organization in los angeles which does a restorage prebooking program. and that wuz a very very inform tiff and helpful conversation as we are embark in a process to develop additional capacity and diversion efforts, right. and the beauty about the program that they're offering in los angeles is that it's a prebooking diversion effort that is actually run by the police department in conjunction with some community partners. so welt be having a commission request meet ing, who reached

out and we are scheduling the meeting for april 12 to talk about best practices and juvenile diversion in general and how the probation department can better coordinate efforts to ensure that we're on the same page. in addition to that, i did receive some information from the city's important's office, thank you very much alicia for providing us a summary of use of force settlement that the city has made in the last few years. and i do want to agendize this for a future conversation. i did request that that information be shared with the rest of the commissioners so we can discuss how the city, and dpa, and dpa of course, how it is that we can communicate to our partners and to our community the impacts that some

of the settlements have on policing in general and what it is that we can do to have a formula to improve the to improve in general i think in our department and not having to put ourselves in that position to enter into settlements with people who make certain allegations. thank you very much. >> commissioner yee. >> thank you very much, vice president carter oberstone. i just want to follow-up on what commissioner benedicto said. it was great to join the sunday brunch and our chief william scott. pretty much, officers in uniform and district attorney

in their suits and ties and the community members out there, really blissful sunday brunch. i really enjoyed including the custard tart that was down there and a lot of good food and people. it's a first in the city here. i hope to see many more that follow. it does not have to be in black history month, it could be every day of the year. thank you very much, that's all i have to say. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner walker? >> thank you, vice president carter-oberstone. we had a, we had a zoom meeting the other day about 6. 1-d g.o. 6.1 missing persons and that's in the update process. it's been a while since that's been updated. it's one of those on the long

time list of at looking at reforming them, i also met with dpa the other day and professional technology that is working standardize and auto mate maintaining camera data also it's an interesting process of auto mating all the cameras but also streamlining getting it downloaded and tags. so we're going to be setting up a meeting with whoever in the staff that we need to talk about technology, there is an interest in moving this forward with somebody who has a patent on the effort and can get

grants and we can really do something that is meaningful on the reform of managing data in a better way, especially around cameras. there is so much tension around cameras that it's important to get it right, to get it very affective and efficient and transparent. so i'm really excited about that. it's going to be a good thing. on going meetings with, with folks in the the community around mental health and responses both with homeless as well as housed folks. you know, there is so much conversation and how our departments are working together. and there is so much need to work better together and collaborate on these things. and on going meetings with scheduled with the department as well as the folks still involved in the patrol specials

to get an assessment, the city attorney is going to be meeting with me on those meetings with the both the community as well as the staff to sort of figure out where we are so that we're able to have an agenda item to discuss and figure out if there is a good way to fill out possible gaps. i appreciate the efforts and communication going on about that. so that's my report, thank you. >> thank you, sergeant can you take us to the public comment please. >> those with public comment, please approach the podium. and there is no public comment. >> great, line item 7 please. >> sfpd demonstration of the 30-day public portal, discussion. >> commissioners we have captain dennis strategic management who is here to

left here still the owner but shortly after um, in here became the inc. maker the manager and lead and branded the store from day to day and in the late 90s- was obvious choice he sold it to him and he called us up one night and said i'm going to sell the ice cream store what you you talking about diane came and looked at the store and something we want to do and had a history of her dad here and growing up here at the ice cream store we decided to take that business on. >> and have it in the family i didn't want to sell it.

>> to keep it here in san francisco. >> and (unintelligible). >> share worked there and worked with all the people and a lot of customers come in. >> a round hill in the adjoining areas loved neither ice cream shop in this area and support russia hills and have clean up day and give them free ice cream because that is those are the people that keep us the opportunity to stick around here four so many years next generations have been coming her 20 er thirty or 40 years and we have the ingredients something it sold and, you know, her dad said to treat the customers right and people will keep on

coming back and 75 or 74 years, you know, that is quite an accomplishment i think of it as our first 75 years and like to see that, you know, going into the future um, that ice cream shop will be around used to be 4 hundred in the united states and all gone equipment for that one that is the first and last we're proud of that we're still standing and people people are you tell people it's been around in 50 years and don't plan on

[music] digital literacy is something severely lacking in our world today and it takes a lot to understand that. food water and shelter have basic necessities so long we forget about wifi and connection to the interenet and when you go into communities and realize peep ople are not able to load homework and talk to teachers and out of touch with the world. by providing the network and system we are able to allow them to keep up in the modern age. >> folks still were not served by internet throughout the city and tended to be low income people, people in affordable housing. people of color and limited english and seniors, all those are high concentrations in affordable housing, so we thought given that we had a fiber network that stretched throughout the city reaching deep into neighborhoods that would be a perfect opportunity to address

it in san francisco. >> the infrastructure the city and star help us run are dejtle programs. it played a critical role from the time we opened during covid till now so we were able to collaborate with online services that offer tutoring and school support. it also helped us be able to log the kids on for online school during covid, in addition to like, now that everybody has switched most of their curriculum online we can log kids on to the online homework, check grades in addition to helping parent learn how to use the school system portm >> the office of digital equity our goal fiber to housing is insure we have all three legs of the 3 legged stool. the first leg is high quality

internet connection. we liken the high quality internet connection to the highway. the second leg is high quality devices. this is the car. you want to make sure the specks on the car is up to speed and lastly, it is important to get kind of that driver's education to learn how to navigate the road, to know the signs to watch out for in terms of making sure you are school while you are surfing the internet it is private so that is the digital literacy piece. >> my daily life i need the internet just to do pretty much everything. the internet has taken so much control over people's daily lives including myself that i just need it to get certain jobs done, i need it for my life. i need it. >> the program really seeks to where ever possible provide a service that's equivalent or higher speed and quality as the best commercial service . >> we serve all of san

francisco, but we definitely have to be equitable in our distribution of services. that means everybody gets what they need to be successful. >> actually one of the most gratifying part of my work here at department of technology, it is really bringing city resources to address problems faced with our communities with the highest need. >> i think it is important because i grew up in a low income community without internet access and it is hard. i think it is important for everyone to have internet access no matter their income and maybe one day their kid will have internet access for us and help the school and with their skills. it's2

with the first annual juneteenth on the water front. and the port sponsored by waving fees and providing technical support. and it was a great success and with that it brought 70 families down to the water front and community members on a historical holiday, june teeneth it had just been declared a holiday. at the pop up, we have educational activities, music, dancing and food and drinks and the whole vive is positive and alive. it's great. and we hope everybody can come down and celebrate with us. the pop ups are free to attend and very family friendly, bring lots of folks down to the water front or folks that would no other wise visit the water front. a lot of people voice their opinion for a need to grow these events, beyond june

teeneth to build the community. so the relationship that we've built with these vendors is great, allowing us to support them and the work that they're doing building their businesses but also highlight them in our art fundraising events and also invite them to become permanent vendsers at the market. it's been a win-win situation for us and our participating vendor but also the community too. so yeah, it bringing joy, bringing you know, just raw talent all of that has been great and hopefully together we can continue to support them. and i'm definitely having for y'all support. >> thank you. >> speaker: thank you very much, i appreciate it. >> thank you. >> speaker: good afternoon i'm devin and i'm the operation coordinator of food wise and i

food wise also coordinates dj, educational activities as well as providing customer seating. we're really invested in these success and want to see them thrive. there is a lot of behind the scene work that we do so they're able to shine. it may be simple gathering, it's far more complex than that. these are welcoming and inclusive for all and give san franciscan opportunity to support these black owned businesses. we want to organize with the goal to highlight more black businesses. we hope the port can support these events in 2023 and beyond. at food wise we believe that farmers market are for everyone and this helps make that a reality for everybody. >> thank you. christine.

>> to us and our 30 years of operating at the water front and as was mentioned, the benefit for this vendor and the way that they're able to grow their business and operation is really lovely but it's this community connection that we're building. and really trying to walk our talk better and this is one way that we're focused on that. and i encourage you all to come down. we have four planned out this year. >> thank you. is there any other public comment in the room? if not, corey will provide constructions for our remote participant. >> thank you, president brandon. at this time, the telephone queue will be open for public comment on the can sent dollar. please press star-3 to make public comment. the system will let you know when your line is open.

that's resolution 2312. >> good afternoon, i'm here to award three contracts to the environmental rfq and to create a prequalified pool. the three entities are listed before you. each contract will be for 2.5 million dollars and for an initial year of four years with an option to extend for one year. in addition, four firms who scored high. this is for additional awards for the next two years. and the port will follow this chapter 6 requirement for this election process and delegate authority for awarding additional contracts from the pool wha. would these contracts do? the contracts are really an important piece. these planning and

environmental project support both the maritime and engineering division as well. there is a lot on the slide that's because the team wanted to be clear about all the things that we may or may not need. we category the scope based on what we thought would be used. therefore will spend more dollars in the areas. minor categories are likely to be used and other. this is a second time that we added scopes. this outlines the process. over 50 firms and 13 questions and received proposals. at the end of the process, we received 5 proposals. 4 of the proposals met the minimum qualifications.

again for the firm's review. the panel participated in two stages of the review. written proposal worth 100 points. please note that this is the second that included diversity and inclusion plans as a support item. before response is firms, scored more than 75 points and oral phase. short introductory presentation and had two questions. these questions were given 48 hour items and one on the stop question. here are the scores, highest are aew engineering, sca environment and cdim

engineering. sawyer and associates venture. i'm delighted that all the team had the three awardee are all lve crimes. you'll notice that these are all great scores, and my sincere congratulations goes to the respondents. this shows three, for the wie support and other entities. you'll notice that the teams are large for the type of services. we hope that we can respond in case there is a need. there are a number of firms that we have not seen on teams before. the port anticipates going for future awards. before i get to the final slide of the commissioning action.

i want today discuss equity. we can be part of the engine for change and have a strategy to increase all of our opportunities. accounting firm for advise and oral interviews. this is the first time that we have included panelist a reminder to be aware of the impact of implicit bias of the grading process. out reach, we did broad out reach. listed almost 200 firms, we reached out early, interested party lists on other departments and worked with cmd, to develop a strategy that included over 70lbes. cei, this is the second time that we included a score request. what was there their diversity in their industry. their workforce, professional development, work with the subs and community endeavors. all five submitted their plan.

we have the team later in the weeks and de plans the topic that the port will initial a conversation about. next, this is the second time that we have used the rfq to lower the respondents, excuse me to lower the burdens for respond enters. --respond enters. --respondents. and finally as the contract we continue to address the problem of connecting the subcontracter commitment to aoutization. on an as needed contract, the department makes a guess at what we need and the teams are based off the prime making an estimate for how to staff their teams. we continue to practice more certainly in the process by dividing scopes of work into categories. we can't dictate to a prime if it should be listed for certification review. however we can be more clear on how we will use our contract

and still preserve our flexibility. if we provide more certainly, we can help the relationship leads to better success. we took the minor scopes and then connected it to and predicted aoutization. for skoemz, we set a stealing for lbe utilization. it could receive with this requirement, we made it much harder for our prime to over promise to a subcontracter and leave hang withing no worth. we often construct that we will not consider the inclusion. intention is to prevent crimes from adding a team in order to score points and then to leave them hanging in the wings for the full extent of the contract because these scopes are unlikely to be used on each contract. this is the first time that we've taken this unique

approach. in a few years we'll be able to see if these experiments work. back to my my conclusion. i'm here to request authorization to award. thank you. >> thank you. >> thank you. is there a motion? >> i make a motion that we move forward with this item. >> i second. >> is there any public comment in the room? if not, corey will include truxes. >>--instructions. comments are limited to 3 minutes per person. the queue is now open, please star-3 to make public comment.

and at this time there is nobody on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> commissioner gilman. >> thank you, i'm rell' intrigued once we have data to see what the experience of our subs are on these teams. i really appreciate the support. thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner? >> here's a question on the process, do you score based on completion as far as on time? versus they've always been for whatever issues? that part of your scoring process? we have a series of questions about how to approach this.

let me look at the question. i want to answer completely. i want to answer completely. >> we asked questions about the technical approach and how they work with the sector clients. the city is interested in performance and the city attorneys have i would this is an on going project. >> yes, i think in the future to get this part worked out. there is always been some

contingency and somebody wants to get that 10%. i'm wondering if this is going to be part of the scoring track record that they've had so many. it's just like taking the flight. you know, that this carrier is pretty much on time. so they get an extra point on that. i kind of like to have something like that in the future. where the city attorney gets that right now. >> thank you for your feedback, i'll bring that forward to the team. >> i'm okay with this for now. >> thank you so much for your report and commissioner lee, that's a great point. and for the, the ones that you were asking us to approve now who had contracts over the past three to four years, how did they do with their lb? >> thank you for that question, i have have it right now.

the lbe sub requirement for the last round was 12%. and the aew is 19 01 percent contracting participation. the es a, cdim team, they're previously a j.d. team, they're at 12.61 percent. and sca environmental is at participation. >> thank you, and what is the goal this time? >> 15%. >> 15% so it's increased. so why do you think that there was so much interest in the out reach but not in the responses?

>> because the the difference in the wide breath of the sub consulting requirement and the opportunities that people chose to join the consultants. >> so you think most of the interest was in the sub consulting? >> in the specialty feels. --fields. >> and it seems that the consultant are on most of the teams which is very interesting. i appreciate how we can improve our solicitation when it comes to engineering. so thank you for all of your work on that. >> thank you. >> we have a motion and a second. all in favor. >> aye. >> aye. >> any opposed.

motion passes, resolution 2312 is adopted. jenika next item please. >> 12 a is informational presentation on a lease amendment to a lease with andre buidin restaurant and revise the scope of development to reduce total patio area enclosed. >> speaker: good afternoon, i'm property manager for fisherman's wharf. i'm presenting this matter today. andre bouidin operates a restaurant called chatter hutt. the lease covers 5400 square feet of exterior patio space

and operates as an indoor outdoor dining restaurant including public restaurants. boudin was required to complete two project and invested money in 2011 and 257,000 in 2013 and in both cases the work was completed in efficient and timely manner. budin by january 1, 2023 in order to retain its right for five-year extension. in august 2022, boudin approached port staff and to advise that the bid for the additional improvement balloons to include 7 of the 8 sides.

this estimate was made just after was made just after the onset of covid and it's not surprising that the cost increase due to the covid shut down and supply chain issues and lack of labor. boudin reported these costs and operational goals. now boughdin is proprosing covers. two of the locations that are not be being enclosed includes entry to the public restrooms and restaurant. the other two are proposed to remain as al fresco dining with new awnings and other improvements. so we recommend approving the

revised proposal because the amendment extending the deadline will help the tenant make an investment during a time of market distress in retail and restaurant. the port has gained revenue increases under the lease so providing this extension does not reduce the bargain benefits. the lease also provides the executive director, the ability to consider tenant request to extend time frames as part of the work latter to the lease. in exchange to the they have increased investment to 900,000. so that is my presentation. >> thank you, don. now let's open it up for public comment.

is there any public comment in the room? seeing none, corey will provide participation in the telephone public. >> please press star-3 to public comment. the system will let you know when your line is open. comments are limited to 3 minutes per person. press star-3 to make public comment. and at this time there is nobody on the phone wishing to make public comment. >> public comment is closed. commissioner lee. >> man, so you're talking about an increase of almost more than double, i mean almost 3 times, 4 times. there, obviously there is also on the original proposal, there

are they're adding more, they're adding more space or just? >> closing patio. >> they're going to close it where they were before. >> semi enclosed. >> so now they're going to close the whole thing. >> well that was the original proposal, now they're proposing three. >> oh three. >> yeah. >> and the price went up to 4 million. >> no no no, original proposal was 4.5 million. new proposal is 1.2 -- ~>> oh, sorry, i was get iting backwards. --getting it backwards, so they're going to save money and need more time to do this. >> exactly. >> okay. >> i mean, again. it's important to have the outdoor dining, it's important on what they're doing and save costs because of covid recovery. it's a good move. do they have any plans of

covering in the future? >> they have not discussed that to this point? >> is that another process if they want to do that, i guess? >> what we're proposing is a way for them to preserve the five-year option. if we come back and say we want to enclose more, it would be a different project. this is just to preserve. >> basically to get them to continue their five-year agreement. >> yeah, which makes more sense for them to invest. million, 1.5 million. >> yeah, that will help during this time. okay. thank you. >> commissioner gilman? >> my only comment is an antidotal one, the location of where chatter hut is is, next to properties that are shuttered or no longer in operations. so in some ways, they should be

capitalizing on the benefit as somebody who is on the edge of the water front there are not as many establishments that there used to be because things are shutting and closed coming around the corner. i will say that though, just to say it as a commissioner, the activation of that space needs to be more than just put ing an awning. it's difficult to tell if it's operational or open. it's difficult i would encourage them while they're making these improvements on awning and sighting to the building, that they also need to in general just make it have a little more curve appeal and more obvious to the folks that are open because, i think that they could be, they could be having more traffic and bigger increase in sales because there are a lot of other

establishment that are no longer in existing or operating at this moment. >> okay. >> thank you so much for the presentation and i'm very supportive of this item. so thank you. >> thank you. >> jenica next item. >> 12b is informational presentation on the stakeholder engagement process with the respect to an unsolicited proposal for the leasing of phased development on portions of swl. >> hello i'm joined by rebecca who will support me. as well as we're doing by the representative of fisherman's wharf, lou and chris. we're going to talk briefly bl our stakeholder out reach process for unsolicited proposal that we received for

the triangle lot also known as lot 300 and 301 and piers 45 shed a and c. i'll go over the proposal briefly. and we'll talk about the plans objectivity, the review process as outlined in the draft water front plan soon to be adopted and then our next steps from here. so again, we received a proposal from fisherman's wharf we vital llc for development mix use development project for 303o1 which is the triangle lot located in the center of the diagram. and also includes used for proposal for shed a and c eastern most sheds on the right side of the pier here. the proposed uses a for an museum and event center, hospitalities in the form of

restaurants for food and facilities. and then resil yabs as far as plaza and adjacent areas to the sides. consistent with the strategic plan, the out reach process would a productivity and what we're talking about today is the engagement on how to roll this proposal out to the public and then come back and get input from the commission. so just to briefly review the process in the water front plan. prior to submittal to the board of supervisors, for consideration, our process would be to require the developer to submit a written proposal that describes the proposal which we have and which we have attached to the

staff report. advisory meeting, review and receive comments on the proposal recognize that the fisherman's wharf advisory group which would hear this has been, has taken a hiatus due to covid but we plan to do two public meetings to receive public comment in the fisherman's wharf and then we bring it to the northern advisory committee as well and then bring it back to the port commission for informational meeting for your review to share with you what we've heard in that out reach process. so these are the next steps that we just talked about, the two public meetings, bring it to the nac and return to to the port commission. and with that, i'm available for any questions or comments. thank you. >> thank you, david.

is there any public comment on this item? seeing none, corey please provide instructions for our remote participants. >> clerk: thank you president brandon at this time the telephone queue will be open for public comment on 12b. please star 3 for your comment. others will wait on mute until their line is open. comments are limited to 3 minutes per person. the queue is now open. please press star-3 to make public comment. at this time, there is no body on the fon wishing to make public comment. >> thank you, public comment is closed. commissioner gilman. >> sarah, thank you so much i know we're just discussing public out reach. we're not discussing proposal. and i just ask you a clarifying question about your slides. >> sure. >> because i saw a disconnect

or i didn't catch t.you added short-term vacation rentals and i didn't see that pop up in other parts of the staff report. >> i thought it was included in the staff report. >> i could have missed it. >> but it was not, it was definitely in the proposal. >> okay, i'll go back and look at it, thank you for clarifying that. >> sure. >> what is going to be the out reach when you say you're going to dot town hall, is that going to be just two business entities? or in rich into northbeach to residents as well? >> so right now we're tentatively hosting two meetings one to address the tenant in the fisherman's wharf and the reason is holding two is because we know the fish processors work different hours. and historically when we have the advisory group, we hosted those meetings in the morning

or late afternoon, we want to make sure that we touch on those. and then i thought we would have a second meeting where we would reach out to anyone. both meetings would be open to the public and we thought we would do out reach to the list that we have this far. and as we bring it to the nac, we would reach that to use that on tele graph as well. >> is that list cross-reference with planning department noticing, when there is a planning event? >> we do sometimes use the planning department. we also sometimes use, we can do a by area to we do a preliminary search of all the tenants and land owner and property owner within 500 feet of the site, so we do that as well. >> great, i want to make sure that, i think the thriving business of people who make livelihood we need their input but because this is more than just a commercial component to this proposal, i want to make

sure that we're reaching to folks that are living in the out skirts to have an ability to give us public input. definitely comment. but the broader we can cast that net reaching out to any business associations also. i think would be beneficial so that we don't come back at a point and have an accusation that we didn't do enough out reach for folks. >> terrific, i'll take that and cross-reference and make that equity out reach, thank you. >> thank you. >> commissioner lee. >> well obviously, you're not going to get complaints for bringing in more traffic for fisherman's wharf. my only question for our bridge and tunnel customers, it goes back to parking. if you have an event center here and you have the fish processing, there is going to be a lot of people interested and i'm hoping that we're promoting to the outside of

people that come into the water front. other than pier 39 with the big garage. you know, we'll need signage or some kind of indication where people can park. that's my main concern because now jefferson street is going to be very very intense. you know, knowing how this thing will be so popular, i'm just concerned about the traffic and making sure that everybody has a good experience and there is safe parking as well. is there any, any structure that controls? or? >> again, we're just talking about the process and opinion necessarily the details of the project. we're so early in the project that i think issues around transportation will be braupt. if it's an issue that comes up with all of our project as well as park anding other things.

we want to focus today on doing the out reach and do the out input and talk about the design and use. >> when you go to the public, they're going to ask the same questions, you might as well nip it in the butt now and say, we got this proposed but we have this extra space that you can park. i think that should be part of the, you know in the plan. before the out reach otherwise, you might get a little push back. >> i think part of what we read in the proposal was that, the proponents didn't waun to come to us with a big program. they want today come to us with an idea and allow us to use a community process to help better shape it. >> yeah, well. i'm sure you're going to get comments on that one. so i think that should be, it will take a lot less time if you plan ahead. so i have no problems, i think it's great.

just put that big sign on the shed saying, shop here or something. >> rielt. >> thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. >> thank you. david, thank you for this presentation. and it looks like it's going to, it appears to be an excite ing project and at this point, fisherman's wharf will really need reinvitization. and i think the commission we have a great point because the restaurants have depended on that parking for years. so that is going to be a huge issue and challenge to figure out where the parking and will go. and we also have to make sure that our fisherman are taken care of. i want to say, just pay special attention to our fisheries and our fishermen and our maritime tenants and really understand

what we're going to do with parking. >> duely noted, thank you. >> thank you. commissioner gilman. >> i found it, it was on page 12. >> thank you. >> thank you, david. we look forward to you coming back and i hope you are able to do a lot of extensive out reach and try to make that as far and wide as you can so we can all support this together going forward. >> thank you. >> jenika next item. >> item 13 is new business. i recorded, a request for informational item on getting the housingly admission one phase 1. is there any other new business? >> any other new business? >> no. >> no. >> if not, can i get a motion to adjourn. >> i make a motion to adjourn

at 4:16 p.m. >> second. >> record time. all in favor. >> aye. >> aye. >> any opposed? the meeting is adjourned.

>> one more statement. we are the one. that is our first single that we made. that is our opinion. >> i can't argue with you. >> you are responsible please do not know his exact. [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] [♪♪♪] >> i had a break when i was on a major label for my musical career. i took a seven year break. and then i came back. i worked in the library for a long time. when i started working the san

francisco history centre, i noticed they had the hippie collection. i thought, if they have a hippie collection, they really need to have a punk collection as well. so i talked to the city archivist who is my boss. she was very interested. one of the things that i wanted to get to the library was the avengers collection. this is definitely a valuable poster. because it is petty bone. it has that weird look because it was framed. it had something acid on it and something not acid framing it. we had to bring all of this stuff that had been piling up in my life here and make sure that the important parts of it got archived. it wasn't a big stretch for them to start collecting in the area of punk. we have a lot of great photos and flyers from that area and that. that i could donate myself. from they're, i decided, you

know, why not pursue other people and other bands and get them to donate as well? the historic moments in san francisco, punk history, is the sex pistols concert which was at winterland. [♪♪♪] it brought all of the punks on the web -- west coast to san francisco to see this show. the sex pistols played the east coast and then they play texas and a few places in the south and then they came directly to san francisco. they skipped l.a. and they skipped most of the media centres. san francisco was really the biggest show for them pick it was their biggest show ever. their tour manager was interested in managing the adventures, my band. we were asked to open to support the pistols way to that show. and the nuns were also asked to open the show. it was certainly the biggest crowd that we had ever played to. it was kind of terrifying but it did bring people all the way from vancouver, tee seattle, portland, san diego, all up and

down the coast, and l.a., obviously. to san francisco to see this show. there are a lot of people who say that after they saw this show they thought they would start their own band. it was a great jumping off point for a lot of west coast punk. it was also, the pistols' last show. in a way, it was the end of one era of punk and the beginning of a new one. the city of san francisco didn't necessarily support punk rock. [♪♪♪] >> last, but certainly not least is a jell-o be opera. they are the punk rock candidate of the lead singer called the dead kennedys. >> if we are blaming anybody in san francisco, we will just blame the dead kennedys. >> there you go. >> we had situations where concerts were cancelled due to flyers, obscene flyers that the

city was thought -- that he thought was obscene that had been put up. the city of san francisco has come around to embrace it's musicians. when they have the centennial for city hall, they brought in all kinds of local musicians and i got to perform at that. that was, at -- in a way, and appreciation from the city of san francisco for the musical legends. i feel like a lot of people in san francisco don't realize what resources there are at the library. we had a film series, the s.f. punk film series that i put together. it was nearly sold out every single night. people were so appreciative that someone was bringing this for them. it is free. everything in the library is free. >> it it is also a film producer who has a film coming out. maybe in 2018 about crime. what is the title of it? >> it is called san francisco first and only rock 'n' roll movie. crime, 1978. [laughter]

>> when i first went to the art institute before the adventures were formed in 77, i was going to be a painter. i did not know i would turn into a punk singer. i got back into painting and i mostly do portraiture and figurative painting. one of the things about this job here is i discovered some great resources for images for my painting. i was looking through these mug shot books that we have here that are from the 1920s. i did a whole series of a mug shot paintings from those books. they are in the san francisco history centre's s.f. police department records. there are so many different things that the library provides for san franciscans that i feel like a lot of people are like, oh, i don't have a library card. i've never been there. they need to come down and check it out and find out what we have. the people who are hiding stuff

in their sellers and wondering what to do with these old photos or old junk, whether it is hippie stuff or punk stuff, or stuff from their grandparents, if they bring it here to us, we can preserve it and archive it and make it available to the public in the future. >> today's special guest michelle ginsberg. >> i'm chris and you are watching san francisco riegz the show that focused on reguilding and reimagining our city our guest is the general manager of the san francisco rec and parks, with us to talk about new parks, music and other developments. mr. ginsberg, welcome. >> thank you a pleasure to be here >> nice to see you again.

>> last time was during the pandemic and virtual. so it is good to be back here. >> indeed. before we get in specifics, let's start with a broad question, how can will park's system play a part in the economic recovery? >> well, our parks system playing an important role throughout the pandemic. parks were here when people in san francisco needed them the most. a place where people could gather and could care for mentality health and fizz cat health and have a sense of community and a sense of place during a really weird time. and now that things are reopening and figure out how to recover, parks are going to continue to play a significant role >> people are out and having a good time. there are special events happening in parks.

concerts and the weather is good. the best way parks play a role in our economic recovery is to motivate -- people to come to our city from other places and to motivate our residents to get out and enjoy themselves >> exciting to her we opened a new park and there is another. what is special about the 2 new projects? >> sure. san francisco is going through, i think, a park renaissance. we opened the francisco park, which is just magnificent property that sits on top of an old reservoir dating back to the gold rush and has tremendous views of the golden gate bridge and bay and a place where you can bring kids. a cool play ground to bring dogs an amazing dog park. a meadow to watch the fireworks. fog willing.

>> i try to start every day not looking at my phone by doing something that is grounding. that is usually meditation. i have a gym set up in my garage, and that is usually breathing and movement and putting my mind towards something else. surfing is my absolute favorite thing to do. it is the most cleansing thing that i'm able to do. i live near the beach, so whenever i can get out, i do. unfortunately, surfing isn't a daily practice for me, but i've been able to get out weekly, and it's something that i've been incredibly grateful for. [♪♪♪]

>> i started working for the city in 2005. at the time, my kids were pretty young but i think had started school. i was offered a temporarily position as an analyst to work on some of the programs that were funded through homeland security. i ultimately spent almost five years at the health department coordinating emergency programs. it was something that i really enjoyed and turned out i was pretty good at. thinking about glass ceiling, some of that is really related to being a mother and self-supposed in some ways that i did not feel that i could allow myself to pursue responsibility; that i accepted treading water in my career when my kids were young.

and as they got older, i felt more comfortable, i suppose, moving forward. in my career, i have been asked to step forward. i wish that i had earlier stepped forward myself, and i feel really strongly, like i am 100% the right person for this job. i cannot imagine a harder time to be in this role. i'm humbled and privileged but also very confident. so here at moscone center, this is the covid command center, or the c.c.c. here is what we calledun -- call unified command. this is where we have physically been since march, and then, in july, we developed this unified structure. so it's the department of emergency management, the department of public health, and our human services hughesing partners, so

primarily the department of homelessness and supportive housing and human services agency. so it's sort of a three-headed command in which we are coordinating and operating everything related to covid response. and now, of course, in this final phase, it's mass vaccination. the first year was before the pandemic was extremely busy. the fires, obviously, that both we were able to provide mutual support but also the impact of air quality. we had, in 2018, the worst air quality ten or 11 days here in the city. i'm sure you all remember it, and then, finally, the day the sun didn't come out in san francisco, which was in october. the orange skies, it felt

apocalyptic, super scary for people. you know, all of those things, people depend on government to say what's happening. are we safe? what do i do? and that's a lot of what department of emergency management's role is. public service is truly that. it is such an incredible and effective way that we can make change for the most vulnerable. i spend a lot of my day in problem solving mode, so there's a lot of conversations with people making connections, identifying gaps in resources or whatever it might be, and trying to adjust that. the pace of the pandemic has been nonstop for 11 months. it is unrelenting, long days, more than what we're used to, most of us. honestly, i'm not sure how we're getting through it. this is beyond what any of us

ever expected to experience in our lifetime. what we discover is how strong we are, and really, the depth of our resilience, and i say that for every single city employee that has been working around the clock for the last 11 months, and i also speak about myself. every day, i have to sort of have that moment of, like, okay, i'm really tired, i'm weary, but we've got to keep going. it is, i would say, the biggest challenge that i have had personally and professionally to be the best mom that i can be but also the best public certify chant in whatever role i'm in. i just wish that i, as my younger self, could have had someone tell me you can give it and to give a little more nudge.

so indirectly, people have helped me because they have seen something in me that i did not see in myself. there's clear data that women have lost their jobs and their income because they had to take care of their safety nets. all of those things that we depend on, schools and daycare and sharing, you know, being together with other kids isn't available. i've often thought oh, if my kids were younger, i couldn't do this job, but that's unacceptable. a person that's younger than me that has three children, we want them in leadership positions, so it shouldn't be limiting. women need to assume that they're more capable than they think they are. men will go for a job whether they're qualified or not. we tend to want to be 110% qualified before we tend to step forward. i think we need to be a little

more brave, a little more exploratory in stepping up for positions. the other thing is, when given an opportunity, really think twice before you put in front of you the reasons why you should not take that leadership position. we all need to step up so that we can show the person behind us that it's doable and so that we have the power to make the changes for other women that is going to make the possibility for their paths easier than ours. other women see me in it, and i hope that they see me, and they understand, like, if i can do it, they can do it because the higher you get, the more leadership you have, and power. the more power and leadership

we have that we can put out
