>> thank you president peskin. just as supervisor mandelman stated, our alter ego, which is transportation authority voted against that resolution recommended by cta staff to support the bridge toll increase. i will continue to be not in support of the bridge toll increase. seeing how i think the san francisco chronicle reported as well that even our local economist ted egeen from controller office the increase of bridge toll could impact recovery of downtown and i also concur with supervisor walton's indication that it does seeing that a lot of essential workers do come through to san francisco really not just through public transportation but time to time again through driving

as well, bridge toll is going to be burdensum financially for many. thank you. >> item referred to committee. >> land use committee? >> yes. land use and transportation committee. >> we were just saying for short. >> please read the in memoria. >> for the late benny yee. >> we are adjourned. [meeting adjourned]

>> driver, bye. >> hi. i'm will b. mixture weltake a walk with me. >> i just love taking strolls in san francisco. they are so many cool and exciting things to see. like -- what is that there? what is that for? hi. buddy. how are you. >> what is that for. >> i'm firefighter with the san

francisco fire department havings a great day, thank you for asking. this is a dry sand pipe. dry sand pipes are multilevel building in san francisco and the world. they are a piping system to facilitate the fire engineaire ability to pump water in a buildings that is on fire. >> a fire truck shows up and does what? >> the fire engine will pull up to the upon front of the building do, spotting the building. you get an engine in the area that is safe. firefighters then take the hose lyoning line it a hydrant and that give us an endsless supply of water. >> wow, cool. i don't see water, where does it come from and where does it go? >> the firefighters take a hose from the fire engine to the dry sand pipe and plug it in this

inlet. they are able to adjust the pressure of water going in the inlet. to facilitate the pressure needed for any one of the floors on this building. firefighters take the hose bunked and he will take that homes upon bundle to the floor the fire is on. plug it into similar to this an outlet and they have water to put the fire out. it is a cool system that we see in a lot of buildings. i personal low use federal on multiple fires in san francisco to safely put a fire out. >> i thought that was a great question that is cool of you to ask. have a great day and nice meeting you. >> thank you for letting us know what that is for. thanks, everybody for watching! bye!

we spoke with people regardless of what they are. that is when you see change. that is a lead advantage.

so law enforcement assistance diversion to work with individuals with nonviolent related offenses to offer an alternative to an arrest and the county jail. >> we are seeing reduction in drug-related crimes in the pilot area. >> they have done the program for quite a while. they are successful in reducing the going to the county jail. >> this was a state grant that we applied for. the department is the main administrator. it requires we work with multiple agencies. we have a community that includes the da, rapid transit

police and san francisco sheriff's department and law enforcement agencies, public defender's office and adult probation to work together to look at the population that ends up in criminal justice and how they will not end up in jail. >> having partners in the nonprofit world and the public defender are critical to the success. we are beginning to succeed because we have that cooperation. >> agencies with very little connection are brought together at the same table. >> collaboration is good for the department. it gets us all working in the same direction. these are complex issues we are dealing with. >> when you have systems as complicated as police and health and proation and jails and nonprofits it requires people to

come to work together so everybody has to put their egos at the door. we have done it very, very well. >> the model of care where police, district attorney, public defenders are community-based organizations are all involved to worked towards the common goal. nobody wants to see drug users in jail. they want them to get the correct treatment they need. >> we are piloting lead in san francisco. close to civic center along market street, union plaza, powell street and in the mission, 16th and mission. >> our goal in san francisco and in seattle is to work with individuals who are cycling in and out of criminal justice and are falling through the cracks

and using this as intervention to address that population and the racial disparity we see. we want to focus on the mission in tender loan district. >> it goes to the partners that hired case managers to deal directly with the clients. case managers with referrals from the police or city agencies connect with the person to determine what their needs are and how we can best meet those needs. >> i have nobody, no friends, no resources, i am flat-out on my own. i witnessed women getting beat, men getting beat. transgenders getting beat up. i saw people shot, stabbed. >> these are people that have had many visits to the county

jail in san francisco or other institutions. we are trying to connect them with the resources they need in the community to break out of that cycle. >> all of the referrals are coming from the law enforcement agency. >> officers observe an offense. say you are using. it is found out you are in possession of drugs, that constituted a lead eligible defense. >> the officer would talk to the individual about participating in the program instead of being booked into the county jail. >> are you ever heard of the leads program. >> yes. >> are you part of the leads program? do you have a case worker? >> yes, i have a case manager. >> when they have a contact with a possible lead referral, they give us a call. ideally we can meet them at the scene where the ticket is being issued. >> primarily what you are

talking to are people under the influence of drugs but they will all be nonviolent. if they were violent they wouldn't qualify for lead. >> you think i am going to get arrested or maybe i will go to jail for something i just did because of the substance abuse issues i am dealing with. >> they would contact with the outreach worker. >> then glide shows up, you are not going to jail. we can take you. let's meet you where you are without telling you exactly what that is going to look like, let us help you and help you help yourself. >> bring them to the community assessment and services center run by adult probation to have assessment with the department of public health staff to assess the treatment needs. it provides meals, groups, there are things happening that make

it an open space they can access. they go through detailed assessment about their needs and how we can meet those needs. >> someone who would have entered the jail system or would have been arrested and book order the charge is diverted to social services. then from there instead of them going through that system, which hasn't shown itself to be an effective way to deal with people suffering from suable stance abuse issues they can be connected with case management. they can offer services based on their needs as individuals. >> one of the key things is our approach is client centered. hall reduction is based around helping the client and meeting them where they are at in terms of what steps are you ready to take? >> we are not asking individuals to do anything specific at any

point in time. it is a program based on whatever it takes and wherever it takes. we are going to them and working with them where they feel most comfortable in the community. >> it opens doors and they get access they wouldn't have had otherwise. >> supports them on their goals. we are not assigning goals working to come up with a plan what success looks like to them. >> because i have been in the field a lot i can offer different choices and let them decide which one they want to go down and help them on that path. >> it is all on you. we are here to guide you. we are not trying to force you to do what you want to do or change your mind. it is you telling us how you want us to help you. >> it means a lot to the clients to know there is someone creative in the way we can assist them. >> they pick up the phone. it was a blessing to have them

when i was on the streets. no matter what situation, what pay phone, cell phone, somebody else's phone by calling them they always answered. >> in office-based setting somebody at the reception desk and the clinician will not work for this population of drug users on the street. this has been helpful to see the outcome. >> we will pick you up, take you to the appointment, get you food on the way and make sure your needs are taken care of so you are not out in the cold. >> first to push me so i will not be afraid to ask for help with the lead team. >> can we get you to use less and less so you can function and have a normal life, job, place to stay, be a functioning part

of the community. it is all part of the home reduction model. you are using less and you are allowed to be a viable member of the society. this is an important question where lead will go from here. looking at the data so far and seeing the successes and we can build on that and as the department based on that where the investments need to go. >> if it is for five months. >> hopefully as final we will come up with a model that may help with all of the communities in the california. >> i want to go back to school to start my ged and go to community clean. >> it can be somebody scaled out. that is the hope anyway. >> is a huge need in the city. depending on the need and the data we are getting we can definitely see an expansion. >> we all hope, obviously, the program is successful and we can

implement it city wide. i think it will save the county millions of dollars in emergency services, police services, prosecuting services. more importantly, it will save lives.

[♪♪♪] >> i just don't know that you can find a neighborhood in the city where you can hear music stands and take a ride on the low rider down the street. it is an experience that you can't have anywhere else in san francisco. [♪♪♪]

[♪♪♪] >> district nine is a in the southeast portion of the city. we have four neighborhoods that i represent. st. mary's park has a completely unique architecture. very distinct feel, and it is a very close to holly park which is another beautiful park in san francisco. the bernal heights district is unique in that we have the hell which has one of the best views in all of san francisco. there is a swinging hanging from a tree at the top. it is as if you are swinging over the entire city. there are two unique aspects. it is considered the fourth chinatown in san francisco. sixty% of the residents are of chinese ancestry. the second unique, and fun aspect about this area is it is the garden district. there is a lot of urban agriculture and it was where the city grew the majority of the

flowers. not only for san francisco but for the region. and of course, it is the location in mclaren park which is the city's second biggest park after golden gate. many people don't know the neighborhood in the first place if they haven't been there. we call it the best neighborhood nobody has ever heard our. every neighborhood in district nine has a very special aspect. where we are right now is the mission district. the mission district is a very special part of our city. you smell the tacos at the [speaking spanish] and they have the best latin pastries. they have these shortbread cookies with caramel in the middle. and then you walk further down and you have sunrise café. it is a place that you come for the incredible food, but also to learn about what is happening in the neighborhood and how you can help and support your community. >> twenty-fourth street is the

birthplace of the movement. we have over 620 murals. it is the largest outdoor public gallery in the country and possibly the world. >> you can find so much political engagement park next to so much incredible art. it's another reason why we think this is a cultural district that we must preserve. [♪♪♪] >> it was formed in 2014. we had been an organization that had been around for over 20 years. we worked a lot in the neighborhood around life issues. most recently, in 2012, there were issues around gentrification in the neighborhood. so the idea of forming the cultural district was to help preserve the history and the culture that is in this neighborhood for the future of families and generations. >> in the past decade, 8,000 latino residents in the mission district have been displaced

from their community. we all know that the rising cost of living in san francisco has led to many people being displaced. lower and middle income all over the city. because it there is richness in this neighborhood that i also mentioned the fact it is flat and so accessible by trip public transportation, has, has made it very popular. >> it's a struggle for us right now, you know, when you get a lot of development coming to an area, a lot of new people coming to the area with different sets of values and different culture. there is a lot of struggle between the existing community and the newness coming in. there are some things that we do to try to slow it down so it doesn't completely erase the communities. we try to have developments that is more in tune with the community and more equitable development in the area. >> you need to meet with and gain the support and find out the needs of the neighborhoods. the people on the businesses that came before you.

you need to dialogue and show respect. and then figure out how to bring in the new, without displacing the old. [♪♪♪] >> i hope we can reset a lot of the mission that we have lost in the last 20 years. so we will be bringing in a lot of folks into the neighborhoods pick when we do that, there is a demand or, you know, certain types of services that pertain more to the local community and working-class. >> back in the day, we looked at mission street, and now it does not look and feel anything like mission street. this is the last stand of the latino concentrated arts, culture and cuisine and people. we created a cultural district to do our best to conserve that feeling. that is what makes our city so cosmopolitan and diverse and makes us the envy of the world. we have these unique neighborhoods with so much

cultural presence and learnings, that we want to preserve. [♪♪♪]

director dunlop. director richardson. present director. boston director. howard. sorry. director. azeem here. and director rif present. supervisor dorsey. we do have a quorum. hey, thank you. and thank you all for coming today. it always makes me happy to be back in city hall, especially to see the brides out there and the happy faces. my own daughter was married in city hall and what a wonderful location this is for our meetings. so thank you all for coming today. um, we'll go on to the next item, please. item number two, general public comment. go ahead. hello. i feel

like i know you guys already, so it's okay. you can introduce yourself. tricia from heavyweight trucking and a member of the san francisco latina black builders association. good afternoon, directors. i'm here because, as the last i missed the last meeting, but i just wanted to acknowledge that dasilva gates has reached out to a few of us micro labs and they are very intentional on making sure we are included on their next project and send out a pre bid request. although not all of us got that. i did talk to director bob beck and he is going to look into it to make sure we are all getting the same notifications. but i did just want to

acknowledge that dasilva gates has reached out to us and that's a great thing. although they mostly only do the horizontal work and a lot of my colleagues are in the vertical work, so we're hoping that the directors report will put out a plan for us to see how the what their plan looks like, including the micro labs. thank you. thank you. i'm glad that there's some progress there. okay hearing nobody else from the public is somebody on the phone? we do have one caller on the phone. okay. go ahead. you may begin your comments. hello, commissioners. my name is jeff klein. i'm a 24 year resident of treasure island. thanks for hearing my comment. so last

night, i had to wait over an hour for a muni 25 bus at the transit center, along with dozens of other residents and workers from before 8:00 till after 9:00. and since the west side bridge project commenced a couple of weeks ago, more than two weeks ago, the muni schedule has just been a mess. the reduced schedule is really been a been a challenge for many people, including myself and now we had a snafu where apparently, according to the driver, the one driver who was running the road , there was no bus in front of him and no bus behind him. people are trying to catch the 8:00 bus was so full, nobody people were left behind, including disabled, elderly veterans. so there's that. and i'm concerned that if muni can't handle less than 1000 residents and workers on treasure island now, how are they going to

handle the transit demands of a community of up to 25,000 people in the future? so speaking of the future, where's the money going to come from to complete the treasure on the project? the original project was 4 billion for vertical development, but it turns out the cost was based on half a million per unit, and the new cost of building is more than twice that. so the project's going to need 8 to $10 million to build all the 8000 units and nobody in their right mind will invest in this. so i want to know what what is your plan b? you know, we're going to leave this project unfinished for forever or maybe just stretch it out over 20 or 30 or 40 years. what's the deal? by then, we should be physically underwater. thank you. thank you. anybody else? that's end of public comment. okay thank you. we'll go on to the next item, please. item number three,

report by treasure island director. uh, thank you, chair. and members of the board. i wanted to begin my report today by recognize that nelligan chavez has been named to be co executive director for one treasure island along founding co executive director sherry williams, and invite her to give us a report on on one treasure island's active cities. congratulations. first of all, congratulations. thank you. you're a familiar face here, having given the reports on what's happening with one treasure island and all the activities that you do, so welcome and congratulations. thank you. thank you so much. and thank you. good afternoon. directors again. gonsalves from one treasure island. i have a short report this month. and so

i will start by sharing with you that we are still witnessing significant increases in residents accessing the food pantry. we're about up to 180 households, and we believe that's a direct result of summer and kids being at home. and if they're anything like my teenagers, they like to eat. so we're happy to be able to supplement the food for those families. we had our 15th, 15th cohort of the construction training program, graduated on june 23rd. we had 12 students graduate and to date, about 80% of those students have been placed in employment. so very excited about that. we have actually gotten one of our graduates into the plumbers union. so that's a first for us, for a very excited about that and we are currently recruiting for our 16th cohort, which will start in august. and right now we have 25 candidates in the queue, so we're excited about that. as far as outreach and

social media, we continue to provide weekly outreach and a reminder that we have the island news app that you can subscribe to. if for all things treasure island and lastly, for the 4th of july holiday, we distributed some extra food to the residence in the form of some hot dogs and some buns and residents. as always, we're very grateful for that. and we've begun planning for national night out. we'd like to invite you to national night out on august 1st on treasure island and the island wide community meeting for last month was postponed and it will be this month on the 19th. and so you should have received an invitation. and we hope to see you there. and with that, i conclude my report. thank you very much. thank you. okay, we'll we'll open it up to the public for any comments. oh, i'm sorry. i'm sorry. complete my report. mayor mentioning the 4th of july. titus staff provided took a number of steps to ensure

safety and manage crowds. on 4th of july, there were still considerable crowds this year, although less than had was seen before. more development started that included. deploying barricades to establish no putting out, no parking and no stopping signs. increased parking control officer presence from mta, additional pd support , additional admiral security support and flaggers from west park parking management. i also wanted to mention as was mentioned during public comment, that tcd is preparing to move forward with bidding for city side park. they had originally planned to do to put this out this fall, but they're moving

forward. the bidding on that and they will have an and a pre bid conference next week next wednesday at 130 at their offices on treasure island also so the installation of the point of infinity sculpture has been completed on by and we continue to work with t.i advisors and mercy housing to plan for the occupancy of star view court. there will be a full report on on the regular agenda but wanted to mention that we are also working with swords to plowshares to schedule tours of missile may apartments for island residents on july 19th and 26th. and although many board members attended the ribbon cutting event for the building, we will have a time slot for board members who are also interested in touring the property. treasure island enterprises has filed an

application with the bay conservation development commission for the expansion of the marina and has received initial staff comments from bc staff. echo bay has completed the demolition of building 29 on an avenue h and is removes a hazardous derelict structure from the island. and we have an agreement with city view storage to lease the now vacant property . we continue the punch list, close up punch lists have been completed for the yerba buena street, yerba buena island street improvement permit and the water reservoir laws. and we'll be working with public works to deliver acceptance packages to the board of supervisors for both of those projects, the rocks dog park, as will be discussed on on today's

agenda and the treasure island street improvements and the ferry terminal to go to the board of supervisors for consideration and approval prior to year's end as discussed at the last month's board meeting, the transportation authority has mobilized for the west side bridges projects and the eastbound off ramp and westbound on ramp to and from yerba buena were closed on june 22nd. the hillcrest road is scheduled to be closed in the first week of august and traffic headed towards the eastbound bay bridge on ramp will be detoured over the top of the harbor, buena island, along forest road. also so the tidal house market rate, rental development reached a significant milestone miles stone this week, topping out the construction of the 22 story

structure. the project is scheduled to be completed in 2024, and that concludes my report. thank you so much. i'll actually i'll open it up to comments by the commission first and then we'll take public comments. but i might start with some questions and just to i noticed that for the 4th of july celebration, i was very pleased to see that the ferry extended their hours into the evening so that people could come to treasure island and go back. so i was pleased to see that. do we know how many people actually came for to view the fireworks from treasure island? i don't know how many people. i don't have a figures on ferry ridership for that day, but that's something i'll try to get for you. okay. and then the west side bridges project and the new

ramp to treasure island, do you have any reports on how that has transpired and what the experience has been? i've taken it myself. yeah. the new off ramp seems to be functioning well. it has extended the runtime of the mta route, which which means that they have longer headways between busses. but beyond that, i haven't had any reports of problems. okay. thank you. and i just wanted to also give a shout out to one treasure island for their great education ceremony for their job training trainees. it was i attended, as did timothy, and it was really, i think, a heartwarming celebration of their graduation from that training program. and it seems like the job placement has also been successful for those

trainees. so i'm glad to hear it . i'll open it up. yes. yes. then go ahead. well thank you so much, mr. begg, for that presentation. and i want to start my comments actually piggy back on what commissioner shane just stated. you know what we do here, this commission providing opportunities there are so many things that we do that no one in the city is doing that the one treasure island training construction training, because we're not just building treasure island out. yes. we want to make sure a great opportunity to train the people we are training are at risk. youth and adult people. i live in the bayview, people that i see that nobody want to gamble on. they said they're lazy. they don't want to work. no, that's not true. here we are actually demonstrating

that we can take people from prison, people with records and we are doing that with our construction training, giving them the expertise so that when they leave here, they can be for other jobs throughout this place. and we are so grateful we have this company, echo bay, a minority company that put in the resource, says beyond the call of duty. so it is a signature project and training not only in the san francisco bay area, but in the state of california. and so i just want to say that and it percent of this this at risk are given employment. so thank you so much because when we ask you to be part of giving report is that every every meeting we have to really keep doing that until the people is able to register what the magnitude of what we are talking about here. and i want to segway to the other opportunities we talk

about, which is the microwave. i'm glad at least some progress is making, but we know they are where we want to be. and i heard from one of the speakers about the pre-bid that what sent out not everybody got that. and so we need to have a plan now. how do we ensure, as we roll out all these opportunities and i think tricia that said that the people working those happy that are coming, they have a list that they can help us if we're able to work with them. so how can we work with them to make sure that they are also helping us to do the outreach? because is god forbid, we everybody here, my fellow commissioners here, commissioner shannon, all of us are from the community and so we want to make sure that everybody gets their fair share, even for projects that we do not have jurisdiction on. we are communicating with our development partner that, hey,

please help us to help these people that are here, you know, help give them something to help to do that. they are qualified. they need to have the opportunities to do that. and i know that at our last meeting, mr. beck, you had mentioned that on treasure island there are going to be also opportunities. you mentioned the church and some other projects, and i know there was now the agenda to give the detail, but we want to make sure that we enhance the communication with all these people here because if that pre-bid before it went out, if the treasure on her group, those people coming here are able to know that they can help us to call everybody. and so we need to update the list that nothing goes out on treasure island, that we don't have everybody's name on that. and that should be resolved before the next couple of days. that is going to be a start because then they can come back to us and say, yeah, they got the information. and also

the time for them to get all their paperwork and making sure they are there. so but thank you that at least we are making progress and i know, you know, we count on you that you're helping us with all this. lastly now that the off ramp is closed , are there proper signs from trans that it's already in place so that people because we're still having a lot of accident approaching your island? i will get the report so thank you, sir . yeah um we caltrans has put out quite a bit of signage. we continue to try and update with some of the electronic mapping wayfinding applications to make sure that they're reflecting the current routing as well. okay. thank you, mr. roff hi. i just wanted to comment. i attended that graduation and i was very impressed with the candidates that came out of there. and i think when you get 12 out of 15

that have already placed for jobs, that's pretty good. but the folks that came out of there, i thought it was really i was so impressed, you know, they came up, they made a little speech and, you know, it it's a good program. and then the other one is the as far as prohibiting, i think we should have some sort of site ups. so that way you can look there and that the local community based or companies can see it and it should be posted and they can you know, everybody can see it. that's all i have. thank you. thank you. and i should note just to add that the west side bridges project, nancy pelosi herself came to the groundbreaking and we have so much to thank her for because through her influence, we got $85 million of federal funding for that project, which otherwise would not have gone ahead. so thank you, nancy

pelosi, for your help. okay. i'm going to open it up to the audience. if there's any public comment, you can do so. now. i'm back. um, so i don't know, are you guys commissioners, director, director but would you just introduce yourself again? okay, so tricia from heavyweight tracking, i feel like there's such a disconnect of what we keep asking for and the response that we're not getting a you know, we come here now, i think it's like the fourth month or fifth month and we keep asking for a number breakdown of numbers, the breakdown of the micro lease and yes, the silver

gates is great. let me tell you, it's our first meeting with charles. they were the first to reach out with trucking. but as i told the silver gates, this is just not about trucking. this is just not about the silver gates. this is about what is going on on treasure island with all the gses, with tida, with the tide group. so and i sit in a lot of meetings and i sit in a lot of groups and committees. and the number one topic of this conversation is treasure island . and everybody tells me bob beck is a good guy. but here we are two years later. this is only our fifth month coming to you. but we've been requesting this information from mr. beck for two years and we are not getting an answer for what is the long term goal. what is the short term goal? thank you.

hello everyone, again, trista dion, owner of streamline drywall. also on behalf of the san francisco latino black builders association. i'm going to go through some of these questions. you guys have heard them multiple times before, but we're doing our due diligence. so i'm going to put that out there. and then hopefully, bob, if you're willing to answer any of these today, it would be greatly appreciated. first one being what is tied is short term plan to engage sfl bs microbes to ensure they are included on active or upcoming treasure island projects within the next six months. when can we expect to receive the short term plan? what is tied is long term plan to engage sfl bs and microbes to ensure they are included in upcoming projects. when can we expect to receive that plan? what are the names of the sfl, bs and micro labs who have been awarded contracts at t.i? we touched on this the last few meetings on some of the

discrepancies that were in the report provided. can you please provide the financial breakdown of contracts awarded to micro obs? small l for each year since work has began at treasure island compared to the dollars dispersed and what are the total funds that have been disbursed to all companies who have worked at treasure island since the project began? thank you. hello my name is lisa mansfield. i am a part of the sf llb, a co owner group as well. and i support my colleagues. we've come here, as you stated, five months now and . we really haven't received or or got very much information. i just want to say that i am excited about what's going on with the employees during the training, so on and so forth. but equally, we would love to be just as excited and hopefully

you proud to put some of your micro bs to work. we're looking in san francisco all over this business is closing like crazy and we're holding on. we're lord willing, we don't close, but with your support, we won't have to. sometimes it just seems like a small thing to give us a contract, but it's really big. i would implore you to look at the sfp. you see biosolids website. there's complete transparency there. they show the contracts that have been awarded to the micro and that some of the examples of what we're requesting. thank you. and are there any commentators on the phone. there is one comment. go ahead. good afternoon. this is john hogan and i'm the director of the treasure island museum. and i wasn't able to hear part of the meeting some of the early

reports. but we did want to make it clear to the title board and all the members of the treasure island community that we've launched a new membership program at. and for the first six months until december 31st of this year, anyone with a94130 home zip code, meaning any resident of treasure island, can become a member for free at the museum. and we're really encouraging them to and this is a way that we're hoping to build community and make our resources available at no cost to all the members of the island community. so we just wanted to make that known and it might have come up in the report earlier, but i had trouble getting watching you all online. so just reiterate perhaps, but thank you very much . okay anybody else? no one else. okay. all right. thank you . and mr. beck, i know that both the commentators in the public, as well as board members have asked for information. i know

much of that information doesn't come from tida directly. it has to come through to cdd, who is involved in awarding the contract for that. for those employments. but i think that we would like to see the data. i know that you do to gather that data as best as you can, but we hope to hear from you sometime soon. yeah, thank you. and i will continue to work with danielle butler from tcd to try and be responsive to these questions. thank you. so next item please. item number four communications from and received by tida. okay. any questions or comments from the director. any comments from the public. hearing none. next item. item number five ongoing business by board of directors. any comments or questions from the board?

so here is a not live, but almost live photo of our autonomous vehicle shuttle on treasure island. it's finally here. this is, as you recall, a federally funded project operated by bp, which is an av company that we procured through a public bid. we will be doing a nine month pilot on public roads. this is the first autonomous vehicle shuttle shared shuttle pilot that is 100% operated on public roads in california. so that was quite a feat to get here. and so we're pretty excited about that. it will be free to the public always with a human attendant on board. and just to remind ourselves the purpose and goals of this demonstration, it is to demonstrate operational capabilities of avs in a mixed

use environment in a real world situation, to understand the perceptions of both riders and non riders. so other users of the road, and to explore partnerships for workforce education and economic development possibilities. our goals are primarily safety. we are prioritize that above all else mobility. to understand how this can help folks move around the island. treasure island operations and research research and the collection of data on all incidents and near incidents are is that a that's a key aspect of our pilot. so far. we have done the public procurement of beep the operator beep has gone ahead and obtained permits from nhtsa, which is a national highway traffic safety administration, and the california dmv, which are required for operation on public

roads. we have mapped the route and the stops we've set up the charging and storage space on treasure island and we've established community and partnerships, engagement with, for example, sf, usd and city college and currently we're in the process of the 30 day road testing period that is literally going around trying out the route, making sure our attendants are trained in both manual mode and autonomous mode . and we are preparing for passenger service after this successful testing period. and here i actually want to also acknowledge liz hirschhorn and rich rosetti, who have been extremely helpful to us in setting up the pilot. this next slide shows the loop, the route of what we're calling the loop that is our brand. you'll see it

goes around sort of across on ninth street and then through the neighborhoods and we do acknowledge that we the route does not currently serve the administration building or the ferry terminal. but we had some concerns about congestion on seventh avenue. and so as we start, public service will be reevaluating the performance and the route. and we'll try to look for a way to serve the ferry terminal. so this is coming up. opportunities to ride the loop will be previewing the loop vehicle on july 18th, which is next tuesday between 3 and 6 p.m. at the shipshape community center. and one treasure island is helping us publicize that. and so we're looking forward to a good turnout there. passenger service will start. we're thinking late july, early august

, depending on the successful testing and the shuttle will operate at 9 to 6 p.m. daily, operating every 20 minutes. and during the midday when the two vehicles overlap, will have better frequency of closer to ten minutes. as i mentioned, it will be free for all. anyone who wants to ride it. it's ada. ada accessible and holds up to ten passengers. we do have a tie hyphen loop website about the shuttle, which will be updated regularly and is live now. there's also a phone number to call if you have any questions or concerns that number is (415)!a593-1654. that number wil be posted on all the stops around the island. so that concludes my presentation. i'm available for any questions. thank you. well, was so excited

that this vehicle finally is here and it shows again how cutting edge treasure island it is that the first autonomous public vehicle is operating on treasure island in the first in the state. so we'll we're really very pleased to see how this works and hopefully for it to be really useful to have it connect to the ferry and to be transit of the transit that goes on on treasure island. but kudos to you for bringing it finally to our island. okay. so i will open it up to questions. yes, linda, please. yeah. thank you so much. this is so exciting. and this is what we tell our all our partners every time we have something of a signature. this like your project, it is signifying. and so over the weekend, i think i read about this in san francisco standard

and in terms of the community communications, i would love, you know, for all the news or whatever to people to be aware of this. it is so significant. so please, what what what is the plan? because, again, i know you have the preview on july 18th, but how can you help us to get the word out? so we have the ferry now and now we have this iconic the only place where the first one. and so that data is going to be useful for the eventual rollout of this autonomous vehicles. so you could just kind of tell me how you can help us to with the outreach and the types of communications, because i like to read it in so many publications online or video or whatever. yeah. well i will be sure to make sure we get a package out to tida in the board. yes. and we'll keep you

sort of we'll add you to our distribution for future publicity. we do in addition to the public event on july 18th, we do have a couple of other publicity events planned and we will be we are actively speaking to the media to make sure that we get a good coverage, taking the opportunity to let them know about our development here. all this things is all tied up. so yes, we are highly interested, but but certainly to celebrate this and to make sure the media knows and we can you know, again , put treasure island as a positive all the things that we're doing, which are sustaining all and future looking exactly great. thank you mrs. i just wanted to also thank you. this is great and it is to speak to what fay was saying. very exciting to have innovative , something innovative on the

island. and so i just actually on a different side of community outreach, you mentioned that there is partnership with sf, usd and then also one treasure island and just making sure the rest of the villages, there's a partnership with them and that they definitely are aware and there's just feedback and open communication. so absolutely. thank you. we'll open it up to public comment. we're hearing cheers from the public. anyone on the phone? no callers on the line. okay. well, thank you very much for this report. thank you for your time. it's very cute, by the way, this little vehicle . okay. next item, please. item number eight, transit housing outreach update and i mentioned during my report that we have a couple of open houses coming up later this week and this

weekend. and karen will give an update on all to advisory efforts since our last board meeting. yeah thank you. it's very hard to follow something that cool and exciting, but we're really excited to see lupe and we're happy to try and get that word out at some of our events. so, um. some of this information that we're presenting today is in your board report. it gives you information about our contracting on treasure island and how we're reaching out for chia advisors and, and our community group. we're working with inter-ethnic yolanda's construction administration, traffic control and copy circle . all three of those are our micro db or micro business enterprises in san francisco. and we also want you to understand who we are serving on the island and where our focus

is. we are currently really focused on 156 of the households that are going to need transitional housing. and most of our report today is going to be speaking about our efforts to advertise and get people excited about court. in the last month, we've spent quite a bit of effort supporting director beck and his efforts to communicate with the team and advertise our transition units and affordable units on star view court. and we've done that with event planning and as we spoke earlier, we had the juneteenth event with one treasure island, which was really great. we were able to participate in the on island board meeting with you all last month and we're continuing to work on our portal and file support, working with the community and working on information to help the community understand what opportunities are available on the island. we're meeting

residents in the community at some of our events and we are also so reaching out to them through door hangers, emails, the tie advisor portal, answering emails and calls and reaching out to folks who want to know more about their opportunities on the island and in this past month, we've really been spending a lot of time just engaging with with households, helping them understand their opportunities. as we've discussed in the past, there's a lot that we can cover in public events, but really people's housing situations are very specific and we do a lot of one on ones with people and helping them understand the different options available to them. and we've also processed six early in lieu payments since the beginning of the year. some of the information we want to make sure that you have on hand is some of these handouts that we give to the community. we are very happy to make sure that you have those and we can work with

kate to make sure you do have those. we have information on the affordable housing court in formation that catholic charities has about the community in general information for transition units, specifically and what that means to the households and what we call palm cards, which is basically a business card so that people know how to reach us and or their services provider on the island. yeah, just one moment. kate, can you make sure that all the direct has get the links to these items? thank you. go ahead. so as i mentioned before, our real focus is around and star view courts, which is the first building on the island that is going to be offering transition units to our households and so we have 156 households that are currently eligible to receive transition units. we have 23 transition units at star view court and we have a program developed for the next year, next 12 months, to

engage the community and help those households understand what their opportunities are. and i kind of want to explain an overview of that. here is a general update this information is in your board report and we will talk about it as we move along in this slide. this timeline helps us to understand what we have been doing. so at the beginning of the month, one of the things we've been doing is really reaching out to the community and asking them to participate in upcoming star view court, open house events. and i wanted to let you know how we're reaching out to people. we sent 771 emails, so each legacy resident and vested resident on the island, we've encouraged them over the years to sign up with their emails that we can reach them directly. so we have 771 people who have done that. so we're sending information directly to them. we have also strongly encouraged them to sign up for the portal. so the portal

that we have is where all their documents live virtually. and so when we advertise things, it's right there and available to them. so we have 434 households or residents who have signed up for that. and then we have door hangers, which is a very clear way of reaching out to folks. so this is a copy of the door hanger that we put on everyone's door and a similar email went out to everyone to get everyone's attention and invite them to serve you. court open house events. and we've gotten quite a bit of feedback already. some people saying, wish i could join you, we won't be in town. please forward information. and we're following up on that as well. in addition to this, in order to prepare for our community engagement events, director beck has a letter prepared that we delivered to legacy invested residents that gives them information about what's next and what's available on court and future housing in general. and again, that was delivered to the 156 doors and

it's uploaded to the portal today. so everyone will have an electronic copy as well. the next event that we have coming up is tomorrow night and saturday. we're having an open house event on star view court. we're really excited and it's going to be a pretty big outreach for our team. so advisors will be there. the team from catholic charities, the team from mercy housing management director beck, one treasure island will all be there. and then araceli cafe will be supporting us with some snacks, which is always great. in a public event, it's going to be somewhat similar to the on island meeting and that there will be posters and handouts one on one discussions and opportunity to sign up with your advisor for a one on one meeting in case people just don't want to reach out individually. and then an opportunity to sign up for the portal. and we're going to have refreshments. so again, we're really excited to share with the community what's going

on and if you would like to join us, that's tomorrow night from 5:00 to 8:00. the exact same meeting will be on saturday from 10 to 1. so we're not asking everyone to join both, but to come to one or the other and to drop in when they're available. we'll have both english and spanish speakers available to engage the community. one of the things that we're doing that's pretty exciting is tida is offering tours of museum to help people understand what a beautiful building it is and how affordable buildings in our community look today. and so that's really exciting and we're hoping that the community will join us in this event. so the next effort that we have is from july to august. we have a volunteer period for legacy households. so we want them to understand what their opportunities are. we want them to raise their hand and say, yes, i want a transition unit at star view court and we'll be working with them and gathering their applications to for a

transition unit, a strawberry court that volunteer period runs from. july 17th to september 1st . so the volunteer period really is about funneling people, getting information to them, helping them understand what their opportunities are and getting an application from them. on september second. we're going to sort through this applications and try and connect them with units at star view court. that will work for them. and our goal ultimately is to have them meet with the strawberry court management team and try and connect them with an apartment that will work for them at strawberry court and a transition unit. and then we'll be giving initial movement notices to households that we can set up in a transition unit at strawberry court. and those units will be ready to move in, probably around july, june 20th, 24. so then what happens after

that voluntary period? so on september 2nd, like i said, we're going to sort through the volunteer applications and we're going to try and match as many people to units as we can. we have 23 units if we have any remaining transition units that are not spoken for, we're going to begin to contact the legacy residents in order of legacy household ranking and try and match them to transition units. and we will be offering move notices to them as well. and again, this will be the beginning of the transition period where we're matching households to units on the island. um and then as we move on in november and december, we're going to make sure we continue to tell legacy households and vested households and the island community about the other opportunities that starve you court for affordable housing. and we'll be pushing that by continuing to outreach to folks, helping them sign up for dahlia, encouraging to sign up for pre marketing notices when as applicable and signing

up for the portal. so we can get information to them and legacy invested residents can use our treasure island resident preference certificate number to win an opportunity for one of those affordable units on strawberry court. um, and we are really guiding people through how to do that, how they can register now for affordable housing on the island, for sale for rent through the dahlia portal. this information is slightly different than what we presented at the board last month. we did get a slight adjustment from the star view court team on what the rent and income is. minor adjustments, but we wanted to make sure that we gave you the most current information and we won't go through this right now. but i just wanted you to have that in hand for information on what the income is for, say, a one bedroom and what their rent might be. and then here's for three and four bedroom affordable units. here's our

overview overall timeline for star view court. as you can see that we have legacy household transition unit, volunteer period through september 1st. we'll try and match as many of those as possible. we'll offer transition units to for any remaining transition units that we have to legacy residents. the dollar lottery for affordable apartments, astor court. we anticipate will be in early 2024 . applicants will be meeting with star view court management team to match them to units. and then we anticipate that folks will be able to move into star view court around june of 2024. we do want to make sure that we continue to explain to the community that we have housing opportunities for all and what those are on the island. again, our focus is with the legacy residents and visited residents and get them information as much as possible. but we're happy to make sure we reach out again using our tools or portals or door hangers, email. we want to

get people into data and the pre marketing notices. as bob had mentioned earlier, we have several affordable housing opportunities coming out in the next in 2024, one is star view court, one is tidal house and hopkins and those hopkins and tidal house are not affordable buildings, but they do have inclusionary affordable units in them for rent. and so that's part of the communication that we're having with our residents on treasure island to help them understand what that is and how to apply. we also have opportunities for buying inclusionary, affordable condominiums on the island in market rate buildings, and that is information that we have on the portico. and we're really excited to engage people in first time homebuyer programs and being able to purchase a property there on the island. this is simply a map that you've seen before or showing where each of the developments are are. and here is a graph of the

properties that are coming online in the next few years. and i just want to thank you for your time this afternoon. we're really excited to share this information with you. i welcome any questions you have. okay, i'll open it up to questions by directors. mrs. thank you. thank you so much for this information. i know we've asked for info and this is very helpful to walk through and it seems like there's a lot coming up and just hoping that residents can stay engaged and know. i wanted to go to a couple of the numbers that you sent us. so one, you mentioned that there's about 771 emails that have been sent to the legacy and the vested residents. right and it shows that there's 45% opened, which is not a high number. so i'm just trying to understand how representative of because i know a lot of emails can be old or do you have a good sense of if you're able to capture many of the residents through these emails? and then

in a similar question, just the 434 resident participant that are on the portal, just trying to understand if that if you were able to capture most of the residents through this and if not, just are you looking at other ways of doing it? and then my second question would just be the minor adjustments on the amis that have changed for star view court. do you know for the residents that not the 23 that are legacy? but i think there's a number i can't remember since my mercy 42 yeah, that they have to income qualify will that impact many residents being able to qualify for those units so i'll start with the first one. so the question about engaging people in their responsiveness. so that's a little bit hard for us to judge. one of the things we notice is we encourage every resident in the household to sign up for both an email and the portal, which is great. but we also realize sometimes that

means one person in the household opens it and shares that information with others. so we haven't been able to judge what that means, means to us as far as are we reaching everybody or not. and so we hope to do that because we also do things like door hangers and mailings to like director beck's letter has been hand-delivered to each door and so we're hoping we're not missing people there or the door hangers as well. and so we're hoping we're reaching 100% and that the electronic outreach is secondary, right? so but we hope that as we continue to engage people one on one in the coming months, that we can ask them that we can say you've got one person signed up for the portal, can you help us understand a better way to reach you? are you getting that information? do we need to update your emails? and just real quick on that, if at the next meeting, if you could just add information as to whether

the july 7th to september 1st, that volunteer period, how many folks are actually volunteering or showing interest? i think that would be good to know. okay um. i will do that. and also, you had asked about the income, how it's gone. um. i don't think it's showing the income charts that we have showing. so thank you. kate here's easier to read. probably so this is great information and it was updated. and what's important is this is for 2023, by the time these apartments are ready, it will be 2024. and these numbers will change somewhat. and we use this not as a standard to say you better make exactly between this and this, but as a standard to get people to engage with us and we want that message to go out

that help us understand what your income is and if you're close, let's have a conversation. there's a lot more discussion to be had. and again, so everything that we're doing right now is a general outreach and we try and use it as a funnel down to see how we can really help people one on one. so these are more information to have conversations with people rather than to exclude them from applying, if that makes sense. so did that answer. okay. thank you, miss richardson. yeah. thank you so much, karen and i'm going to be talking about the numbers. i think to piggyback on commissioner adam, questions, where we are right now is that actually this process started years and years ago where we have a baseline. we know there is an x numbers for the baseline

in the database of treasure island legacy residents. the profiles of those legacy since we started this in 2011, we should our database should be populated. for instance, x legacy resident if i were just to come from march and said, hey mr. david, it's a legacy resident and the profile we should be able by now to say and in the database number contacted the income that categories and that has not taking place and that's why we keep asking all this questions because what did the data for our on rich household which spend millions going out to 170 baseline folks , we don't know by now as of

today how many of these people enriched household for us to be able to look at the data to say what it meant for four years or whatever, we're not reaching you. why are we not reaching them? what what what what it is and what are their issues? we don't we can do that. that is frustrating because even if you are going to have 23 households available for transition, we don't even know who is going to their income or qualify every year. we need to have a time stamp of every household that we are dealing with. has their situation changed income, even what you have here? you said the affordable rate estimate, it's based on these people income every agency captured that information at the beginning of the year when they paid their rent. and then when you meet with them is okay, there are

basic questions that we have compiled. if they are able to answer those questions seven, even seven out of ten, we did that information is significant. we can capture them to be able to determine out of anywhere the supervisors, everybody asking linda, where how many household right now do you have in next year are going to be ready? i said, i don't know. i don't know. and so i had asked for and i can help how the database is going to be designed, because right now we have a lot of supporting information, material like what you've given here today is great, but we need to have a spreadsheet where we can even really look to be able to deduce where how we are doing, what we are doing. and it's still not there. and so for the upcoming meetings that you have, it would be great. anybody that

shows up there in their database , there should be a notation that, yeah, they attended this meeting or whatever. this is what we've been able to do for them with ask them for this information. and they have not given you the information. and so that way we can adjust who we need to go after and who we need to move on. if there are x number of household the meetings they've been responsive to, the information they their income has been certified. they are doing all of that. then we know rain or shine, this particular household is ready to move on and we earmark resources for them for the completion. and this are the ones then we can go back and do that. so this is where i am. i'm getting all this and i know you're going to be out there for the trying to help us to capture the data. i've also asked and you have done that before. i ask for a spreadsheet of all the meetings earlier on. that data was

helpful because at the end of the day, there's going to be people after six, seven, eight years, they never heard of anything. they never been there that is going to go to court and the judge will be able to say here i have this this information. the judge is not going to go through this report. they are going to go to something that's very simple, logical technologically presented. they're going to say, wait a minute, we've been having this meeting for seven years. spend millions of dollars and you never heard any of this email knock on the you know, hangers. i think this is where we are right now. so help us to get all this information we need to translate all the reports, all the information into a very simple information that the residents themselves and this commission is also obligated because we have stakeholders that are asking information. we also have a lot of misinformation out there,

people. but we can justify that. and so we're going to work. mr. beck we're going to look we're going to work on the baseline data. we have enough information . and again, i'm going to kind of share some ideas of how we can present this information to the because you are asking the same thing. i'm asking commissioner shannon is asking the same thing. and you know, judging the new commissioner here, she asked a lot of questions. she's not here today specifically. she's asked for some question and that is not there. so we're going to all work collectively that we can get to the bottom of this. so thank you. thank you. and largely because of our conversations over the last five years, we do have an exhaustive , exhaustive database. our issue is how to share that. to summarize it and not share people's information. and so i think we'll we can work with

director beck and see how best to share that without compromising compromise. anybody's privacy, which is great. and then one of the things that we realize is that we're moving into the first offering of transition units, which gives us our first opportunity to say, now i need you to tell me exactly what's going on in your household and what your income is so we can help you find housing. and to date, we haven't been offering transition units, so that so we're we're moving into a new period where we can ask those questions that you're asking and help drill down so that we can report back to you all. because you're right, we need to be able to help you understand how we how effective are we in outreach, privacy information, the public type information, how many unreached household, how many are income qualified right now? those there are broader categories. and then to deep, deep though, the purpose, you know, for the privacy that could be okay we can you can we don't

have to divulge that. but they are basic information right now that it is supposed to be public . people that are listening to this conversation, the one that data they want the data for us to be able to show for the resources that we are, you know, expending. so and the deputy director of police, we're going to kind of to together to kind of extrapolate this data that's where we are right now. the data is going to be revealing a lot. the measurement of the progress of where we are. and we can use that data to do a lot of podcasts of how this residents are going to be for the for the units, correct. thank you. thank you. so let me just say that it has been very frustrating for us being up here as directors to hear from some residents that they have not been reached out

to. they don't know what's happening that there's confusion. you know, as to what the program actually is. i'm glad that you're documenting, you know, how you're trying to get the information out when you think about it, it's not that many households we're talking about 370 households at the villages. the one treasure island partner households there they are for sure going to get replacement housing. so we're really talking about 317 of which. 293 or the legacy or the vested households. approximately so it's not that many households to reach out to. and the thing that is so puzzling to me is that we've got such limited sources for housing. we now will have after so many years because of financing difficulties and

even getting to this point of development, we will have 23, only 23 units available for transition households, of which 40 and 43 units which will be affordable. do you know how many people outside of treasure island who are not living on treasure island would want to be part of those units becoming available? they would like to be able to access them, and yet you're not able to reach people, you know, who would be interested in these. 23. you transition units and 43 affordable units. that is hard to believe. and so i'm glad you're making the efforts to reach out to people. but at some point, those households have to come forward and if they've been given the option, if they've been emailed, if there's door hangers, if there's communication and they still

have not responded, then, you know, this opportunity is going to pass them by. and i'm really sorry if that is the case, but unfortunately, i think people when they realize that they've basically bypassed these these affordable housing opportunities , they're going to come back and say, why didn't we get any information? so we're trying to make sure that we are following a process that we're being careful with the data. you should have information on every single household which is there. it's not that many, and we need to have that demographic data. i understand about privacy concerns, but it should be, you know, part of the data that is being collected. so thank you for that. let's see if we don't have any other comments by directors. i'll open it up to the public. okay. and anybody on

the phone. okay mr. beck, is there anything you would like to add. while looking forward? sorry looking forward to our open houses this weekend. tomorrow night. and this saturday, i think we're going to make a lot of contacts and. look forward to continuing to work to bring this information to the residents, particularly those that can qualify for the affordable units, the vested households in particular, because that is their transition opportunity. that is their opportunity to make a permanent home on the island. and so we'll be we'll be focusing on that going forward as well. and i really urge treasure island residents to get the right information. this is such a price less precious resource that we have the housing and these these housing developments are being designed by the best

architects in the bay area. they're absolutely the best. and i am hopeful that we will be able to get through to some of these residents who are not responding. thank you. thank you . item number nine, parks operations and maintenance planning. thank you very much. i'm emery rogers, deputy director of and this is a start . okay, hold on. this is not the start of the three parks items. this is the start of items. nine, ten and 11. we thought it might be helpful to hear these in some context of the larger effort. tida is working to establish structures for operations, finance and governance of all of our parks, and this is no small feat. the da establishes funding mechanisms for the developer to

finance the parks. initially and for the cfd to finance parks in the longer term. similarly the da envisions that tida would own and operate the 300 acres of parks. so what does this mean? operational t to get a ballpark understanding if we were to apply the national standards for parks care per acre to this size of parks, it would necessitate hiring 18 full time employees as that's about 160% increase over the all of this current staff. if all the parks were coming on board right now. but as you'll hear, the parks are going to be opening over a longer period of time, giving tida and this board time for deliberation and to be deliberate in structuring our care plan. so here's the phase one parks and open space. later today, you'll consider tied to

acceptance of the recently completed dog park. the rocks. the rest of the park shown on the slide will open over the course of the next two years. so let's talk about how we're preparing to care for these new parks. we're working in a couple of timeframes, short term and long. the short term focus is to handle the immediacy of the phase one parks to gain experience and knowledge based upon this experience and learning will prepare options for the long term. first, for these initial parks, we're pursuing a short term strategy with tcd in a national lobe fellow to develop the immediate caretaking strategy. the operations manual that you will review after my present nation will guide that work in a manner that brings the plans to life as envisioned by the designers. currently, the developer has contracted with rubicon to support landscaping establishment at the rocks

anticipates initially working with rubicon under an annual contract for landscaping and janitorial task. during this period, we're also going to research the options for the long term plan. we want to ensure that the care of the park's natural areas in open spaces is as high quality as the designs and to do this, there needs to be planning for both the stewardship of the space in the programing for the people. you'll notice that there is a long range funding strategy that's already established. as i mentioned, the community facilities district or cfd. the other items are listed as possibilities. there's a possible city of support in the administration and more financing from public private or a partnership of public and private listed as p3. these

items will be explored and then discuss with this board in the coming months. so let's look at a visual inventory of some of the existing structures that are possible. we will research what has worked or not nationally. the low fellow i mentioned, rebecca mccracken, manage the brooklyn bridge park for a decade during the initial establishment and through its final structure of administration, she'll be on contract with tcd to advise us on what work best for that urban waterfront park. this new york model initially envisioned as a nonprofit conservancy that would manage the park and they thought the private development corporation would dissolve as the park advanced, however, it was decided that the private corporation should not dissolve and instead it stayed on to manage the park. so that's at the national level. we'll also look locally at recent development, like this one pictured here, salesforce, tower

park, a privately operated park . we'll look at this mission bay, which just this month transferred park operations to rec and park. this park developed by the successor to the redevelopment agency oci, is much smaller than treasure island parks, but it has some similarity as some of the property falls under the public trust in the case of mission bay lands that fall under the public trust remained under ownership. the rest of the park lands transferred from oci to rec park . rec park also described to staff recently how in some parts of the city where there are finance districts, like there are on treasure island, those financial district funds can be used to support additional services in the east. cut in san francisco. those financial district funds are used to support additional staffing. so

there's full time staff at the bathrooms during park open hours . now nonprofit conservancies have also in can also handled administration operations. this is the presidio. there's tunnel tops parks. this park is a federal park that benefited from a fundraising campaign led by the golden gate national parks conservancy. that conservancy delivered one of the largest fundraising campaigns for public open space in san francisco's history. another local conservancy is the botanical gardens, which some people in the sport are very familiar with . this is a nonprofit conservancy that has both fundraising and some governance capacity. this conservancy partners with rec park here, i believe the city department provides horticultural and gardening staff under the supervision of governance by the conservancy. so that's a quick look at some of the range of

options that are available to treasure island in the long term as we explore options. the guiding principles for the operations of the open space will be ecology, equity and economy. these principles apply to treasure island at large and will include the parks we will prioritize job training and contracting for the parks with one treasure island partner organizations. the open space work can provide continuing beauty and functional habitat and economic opportunity for the treasure island residents. so in conclusion, there's a short term plan that will enable this board to pursue the best long term action. today you'll review information on parks operation. then you'll consider taking action on the first part. the rocks, the last parks item for you today is consideration of acceptance of future parks through actions by this board. so that's an overview of the tie

parks governance operations and maintenance. we're available for questions. or we can also, if you prefer, roll into the next presentation on the operations manual. why don't we do this? the directors have we can we can hold questions until the end of this item. thank you. thank you, chris. coming good afternoon, directors chris gaillard with cmg landscape architecture. and for clarity, we are a consultant to tdg. we've been working on the parks and open space at treasure island for many years and we have also been coordinating with the titus staff on the development of the draft operations and maintenance manual and the primary intent of the manual is really to provide guidance to tida to bridge the make the link between the design vision and intent for the park spaces so that they can be properly cared for, programed and activated, going forward. so it's really intended as a foundation for the work that

ann-marie just laid out in terms of considering how to organize the management of the parks going forward. so yeah, so quickly, an overview of a few of the key goals of the document that we've been working on is really to provide guidance for the overall system, recognize that it is going to evolve over time as new parks come online and to lay out the fundamentals of the maintenance required for each of those parks. we're really looking at this in terms of levels of service, recognizing that each park will have a different profile in terms of its needs. and so we'll talk a little bit about that here as we go forward. we're looking at the specific requirements for engineering maintenance, landscape maintenance. janet services primarily. then there's other considerations as well. as i mentioned, with programing and activation that are not covered in this document. it's intended

as a living document that will be taken on and refined and developed going forward. we're not going to solve all of this at this moment. it's something that will really require further consideration and really to structure the initial document. so that it can be used as a guide for procurement of services in the near term. so we've covered covered the overall open space and those that will be coming on in the next couple of years as part of phase one. i'm not going to go into these in detail, but each of these parks will have a chapter in the document that will be developed by the landscape architect who designed the park and consultation with staff. so the document is organized into these five chapters. really three major chapters. there's an executive summary that lays out the intent of the document. there's the system wide operations and maintenance chapter, which goes

into detail on each of the components of maintenance and operations overall and then as i mentioned, there's the chapters that will there are the chapters that will be developed for each park and then there will be an appendices appendix that will include supporting documents, including some references to the many city standards and other requirements. so i know you're not going to be able to see this in detail, but i did want to spend a little bit of time highlighting what is included in the system wide chapter. and so there's a section on general policies and procedures that lays out kind of the overall arching parameters for operations and maintenance that's followed by a section on environmental policies and procedures and again, this is in reference to working with the department of environment and others to make sure that all the city's environmental policies are integral to the maintenance of the island. but there's also some other regulatory requirements with dc-dc and others that are captured in that

chapter. it goes into levels of service, which again, i'll touch on here in a minute, some discussion of different management requirements and then it gets into the actual nuts and bolts of the maintenance itself, beginning with engineering, which covers utility systems as paving maintenance of furniture , fixtures and equipment, the restroom facilities, mechanical systems and other items related to vehicle vehicles and conveyance. and then it goes from there to the chapter on landscape, which begins really with one of our biggest concerns here in california, which is water management and irrigation. that's followed by a section on soils management and fertility tree care, understory plant care, lawn and turf care where appropriate, and degraded pest management, which is a key approach to sustainability. and in terms of maintenance and then

the idea of an on site nursery as an option that could be considered in the future as part of the urban farm, as a way of supporting long island cultivation of plants for the maintenance in the future. and then that's followed by my janitorial section that highlights all the janitorial requirements and broad strokes. a section on waste management, which is key in terms of green waste management and considering ation, preliminary planning for a future maintenance yard on the island, recognizing that when you have 300 acres of parks in the future that you'll need to have a maintenance facility to be able to address that. and the idea there is that green waste management and composting could potentially happen on islands so that it's not being taken by recology to a larger facility, really trying to close the loop there. and then lastly, looking at artwork maintenance, just making a reference to the very robust public art program on

treasure island and setting the stage for coordination with the arts commission on that. so then in terms of the levels of service, there's these each of these operational categories and what we've done is we've taken each part or we will take each park as they come online and give them a profile, which is to say some parks may be very intensively programed, highly active. and those are parks that are going to likely require a high level of maintenance in each category, whereas some parks that are more natural passive spaces that don't have a high intensity of use may require a lower profile across each of these different areas. and so and then of course, some may land in the middle, depending on what the program is for them. i'm just going to give a quick overview of an example of one of the park specific chapters. this is the infinity and signal point park and so

again, the idea here is that landscape architects will be able to convey to the future managers the overall design intent for the park or any specific landscape maintenance strategy that should be considered as part of the maintenance. and then just a quick kind of dashboard of each park in terms of the key program elements that will be in place. and then for reference, an overview of the key infrastructural elements that will need to be managed and that could range from power services as restrooms, irrigation system considerations, things like that . so we do have two parks coming up. the first to come online after many, many years. so we're very excited about that. and i just want to give an overview of the process by which these parks will be first established and then maintained by tid g. prior to titus acceptance. and so there's really these three

different stages. there's the construction of the park by tid , at which point it's deemed to be substantially complete. that's a process that tig and the consultant team undertake in consultation with tida. and then there's the initiation of the maintenance period prior to acceptance by tida. and i will note that the maintenance period may vary for each project. typically a minimum of three months, but that could extend depending on the time frame for acceptance by tida and it could go up to a year or longer in some cases, although we expect that it will usually be less than that. so yeah, parks are constructed. there's a plan establishment period and then there's a final acceptance of that and then the maintenance period begins. and here we are with signal point technically coming online here in august of this year, there will be a plan

establishment period of 90 days and then the other important thing to note is that the plant material will be warranted by the contractors who build it for two years and that there are certain obligations that they'll have after that. and that's mainly related to the larger trees. and then looking at the rocks, dog park coming online at the end of september, and i will say that i think and i am biased here, that this is going to be one of the coolest dog parks in san francisco. but yeah, it'll be maintained here for a couple of months. and then accepted by tida. and i think that concludes my portion of the presentation. of course we're happy to take questions. thank you so much, chris and actually i also want to say thank you to marie. she's i think this is the first time you've actually presented before the board and was so pleased that you're here. you know, anne

marie has actually a background in landscape architecture, so i'm very, very pleased, especially since much of the role of tida is about the public realm and these public parks is so much part of that. and also emery has many years in city government, including the planning department. so welcome to you and marie and chris. this is an incredible document that that you're preparing is so important and it gives me great comfort that there's been a lot of thought that is given to each one of the various parks and sort of overall what our strategy is. i think, however, as you say, it's a living document. it is a people document. it's also going to be online. i'm sure, accessible. but it needs to be implement and it needs to be monitored. and that's our concern is how we go forward. you know, there's so

much capital money. we have it now from bond financing and through our partnership with t cd, there is the money to build these parks, and it's such a gift to the city. but but what happens afterwards? and we know what happens to parks and open spaces that are not maintained, that are not managed, that are not program and they will soon not be welcome places for people . so we are very, very concerned as to what the organizational structure will be, what the staffing will be in order to maintain the quality of these parks. and again, these parks are being designed by a very top, you know, landscape architects, well known throughout the world. they are here working with us on treasure island. and we want to make sure that and cmg being one of them, we want to make sure that these parks are maintained properly and can provide great places for

both residents of treasure island of the city. but i think they're going to be a draw regionally and internationally as well. so i you know, this has been one of my biggest concerns . and i'm so glad that we're here today with this. we have these a short term plan of going forward. i'm glad that that would that would going to bring on board t cd and with cmg are going to bring on board somebody who can help us through this interim process and somebody who actually has managed the startup of one of the parts which is most like ours. there's nothing like treasure island, but the closest that comes is brooklyn bridge park, which is also a waterfront park that was industrial to begin with. and it

was it was turned into a park and that started that process. the person who was the chief horticulturist and the first person hired at brooklyn bridge park to do that transformation is rebecca. and she's going to be coming on board to assist as we start up our and accept our parks and open spaces. so i think this is a wonderful point to be at and i really thank you , chris, for all of your work on the operations and maintenance and thinking how to do that and really look forward to going forward. and i hope that rebecca mcmahon can then cmg will come back in september to the whole board as a whole and continue our conversation here. so i open it up. ms. richardson yeah. thank you to the deputy director

. yes. and mr. chris absolutely . that was an excellent presentation. what is significant about this document , a couple of months ago, people were asking, do we actually have division? and what we do need to do and it looks like everybody is overwhelming. however this document is very clear and concise methodology is given out . the roadmap that we need to do and all we need to do is just populate and substitute where the dates are. this is what we know today at 20 from 23 to 25, two years. that's going to be the period for the interim. you know, short term. okay, let's define why we are here, because you have also defined that. well, that puts right today, right here today for us to now

begin to concentrate great on their long term strategy and we have said it's by now it's a long gone conclusion. we've gone to new york. we've gone many places. we've invited the experts. we know precisely what is going on nationwide and what dwight commissioner was so instrumental in actually getting up to some of these iconic figures that are designing landscapes all throughout the world. and here we are, san francisco, also, we have signature projects like the deputy director has given us. we also look at the bay area. so we know precisely where where we wanted to do so. what i'm going to suggest, and we've said that it's public private partnership , we there needs to be an entity we don't want to go before it's a new entity. and we are going

to be having this iconic parks. but we know what the deficient is. san francisco, you mentioned the former san francisco redevelopment agency. they created all this parks that was never a plan. and so when the development agency was dissolved , guess what? san francisco just began to scramble for the maintenance of their parks. and they're not there yet. and we know that we don't want to go to those models. we also know, yeah, we have the golden gate park and some of the parks in san francisco. they have fine, great. however we also have a lot to offer from what we are trying to do here based on this outstanding document. so what i wanted to the deputy director, if you can come to the podium, is when are we going to start that process? and i think ambitiously, we have said at the end of this year we should at

least have a roadmap where we are going to go with the long term plan that's been resolved. how are we going to get there? because in a few months i'm looking at this timeline. i'm going to be asking you and the discussion to four months from now should be different from today is, oh, this is what we've done towards that long term plan . that's what it's in areas are we know what is going to go into that plan if it's done. it's just us formulating and creating that entity, whatever it's going to take to create that. and once we get that, this is what is going to be populated onto that, i think. so we done the work that needs to be done and the emphasis should be on creating that entity now. so could you please answer that question? yes. you're you're absolutely right, commissioner or commissioner. board member. richard. sorry the executive director in this board. president have done a lot of work already in surveying and

understanding past and so the work is underway and the board president has a range for the new york specialists to come here this next monday and tuesday and meet with staff were developing a scope of work to make sure that we come to clear options for the commission, for the board. so that might take me a while to correct that. so to make sure we come to you with options, right? we're not going to come with a staff like we're doing this total thing. we're going to come and preview options, be in discussion with you, with the public, with board of supervisors members, and then together we will forge the right path. so you can expect to see project progress this year and you can hold me accountable if there's not oh, fantastic. thank you so much. and always nice to see you, chris. thank you. thank you, miss mrs. kim. thank you so much. my question actually is for deputy director, if you don't mind coming back up and pardon my ignorance, i think i'm just trying to understand the

process. and my question piggybacks from my direct letter, not commissioner. i also have to remember so are we are is, is there because i see item ten acceptance resolution of dog park. are we being asked to accept a park before we create an entity and have a budget and all that? so there is an entity right now, there's a sorry if that wasn't clear. right now the developer is caretaking and they have been caretaking during the construction. and as a pa speaking and completed. so that is in place. what we are working on is then for tida to transition and we are anticipating that we're going to continue with the same firm. but it's not completely a contract isn't finalized. we don't have the new firm on but rubicon is a one treasure island partner. and so we're anticipating that we will continue that for this interim period until we figure out the final structure and how much of the staffing is public, how much of it is maybe private

and it could be 100% in either direction, or how much of it is a concern, agency managed or operated. so the options are pretty open. but rest assured that the parks are being cared for right now and will be cared for during the two year interim period. i think my concern actually is just that are we accepting a park that then we're getting handed something with all the bells and whistles right ? and then we don't have a budget to do the operations moving forward. once tcd moves on right. we have a budget, but it looks like the director would like to. yeah, we do have a budget in in our fiscal year 24 budget. the. in terms of additional funding to support the operations of and maintenance of parks under the dda, the developer is initially obligated to provide us a

subsidy of up to a million and a half dollars per year to help fund the maintenance of parks, new parks as they come online and then long term the funding stream for maintaining the parks will come from the community facilities district that has been formed over the island. so that is meant to reimburse the developer for capital improvements. but then we also can use what is called the paygo residual proceeds from the cfd to cover our parks operating costs. the in terms of early operating and maintenance of the parks, we have a historical relationship with rubicon landscaping, which is a one treasure island member agency. they maintain for instance, the open space around the housing on on the island and that is the

entity with whom t cd has been subcontracting to maintain the parks during the establishment period. and so it should be a relatively seamless for us than to contract with with rubicon for the early parks. one of the critical things that we need to evaluate as we move forward is if and again over the next few months, by the end of the year is, is if forming a conservancy is the appropriate course of action when in the course of building out the parks is the critical time to have that that structure in place, as you know, with maintaining the first few parks, we can, we believe, manage that through subcontracting with rubicon and some of the other vendors and city agencies that we draw upon for support. but one of the

critical things is when do we really when will there be a critical mass of parks for us to form the conservancy and form a board and so forth? yeah as soon as now, yeah. and i would say that there is a role for rubicon and two works. what we're talking about more is the organizational structure and who's going to because the developer is required and through the contracts with the landscape contractors, the parks are maintained from six months to sometimes a year or more. but we'll responsible for these parks for however, for more than a year and a half for and we need to make sure that what is being planned and especially in the initial years, it is so important to get it right, horticulturalist otherwise these

problems that come up later on. so that's what we're planning to do. and thank you for your question because it's very true. we are being asked to accept the dog park today. i feel comfortable doing that knowing that we're embarking on this process and that we will have an entity in place, hopefully at least a roadmap before the end of the year. and the other thing about the dog park is that there's it's mostly rocks. it's not much planting materials. but i tell you, that dog park has the best view of any dog park in the world. so we can accept the dog park. it's just as the bigger parks come on board, especially the city side, waterfront park will we expect, you know, maybe even millions of visitors? we have to be

prepared. and this is what we're trying to do, is to get get ready for that. so i'll open it up to the public and i'll open it up to the phone. okay. so thank you very much for that presentation. and chris, thank you. so we'll go on to the next item. item number ten resolution authorizing acceptance of dog park improvements on yerba buena island. so thank you, directors . i don't have a presentation for this. it was kind of covered in the presentation before, but the dog park received a notice of completion from public works who performed the construction inspection for the parks and other public improvements in january of this year. and the.

public works has prepared acceptance legislation and is prepared to issue a commendation to the board of supervisors and forms of a public works order recommending acceptance of the dog park and that legislative package is expected to be introduced to the board of supervisors before their august recess. the. public improvement agreement that was part of the issuance of the street improvement associated with the street improvement permit for buena island, under which this park was permitted cause for the parks to be accepted by both the title board and the board of supervisors. and so we're we're bringing it to the title board with the recommendation for acceptance. we won't be fully accepted until it goes through the board of supervisors on item

11, we're talking about having the board of supervisors delegate to tie the board the ability to accept parks. we won't be opening it immediately. it fronts the buena road, which is part of the yerba buena cip. we're expecting that roadway to receive notice of completion later this month and public works to enter into a license with the developer to allow that roadway to be opened. it's part of the hill crest detour that i mentioned during my director's report and so then with the roadway open and with the board of supervisors acceptance, then we would open the park to the public. so make okay, so we have a motion and could i have a second, second. thank you. and before we vote any comments from

the public or on the film? seeing none. okay. so all those in favor say i. i. all those opposed. so the ayes have it. thank you. item number 11 resolution recommending board of supervisors delegate public open space improvement authority. and again, this is working with the city attorney's office and public works. we're recommending that the board of supervisors delegate to the title board the authority to accept the improvements to tie to owned parks and open space. the public public works will director will also be issuing an order supporting that legislation. and we expect to introduce these as companion measures to the board of supervisors prior to the end of the month, so that for your signal point and other portions of the hilltop park on nearby buena island and eventually city

side park, we would be able to bring those just to the title board for acceptance. wonderful good. could i have a motion in a second? so moved. second. okay. any comments from public on the phone? seeing none. okay all those in favor say i. all those opposed. the ayes have it. thank you very much. item number 12 discussion of future agenda items by directors. okay. the mrs. kim, do you have a yeah. you would like to discuss? i just wanted to add that it was fine for today's part acceptance, but in the future, if we're accepting a park or accepting anything, can we have some presentation on the budget and understanding what our obligation will be long term? yeah absolutely. thank you for that. any other items? okay. any from the public on the phone? seeing none. hearing none. we will now adjourn and thank you

directors for a very efficient and short, short meeting than usual. thank you. commissioner chan.

>> the stewardship program is a (indiscernible) based program. we work with student kind r garten through 12 grade and work with scrks fusd and (indiscernible) focus on 5 themes. sense of place, plant adapation and animal adaptation, water soil or (indiscernible) depending on the grade level and accommodations the class may need the educators work to adapt the programming to be whatever works best for the class, so they can gain activities (indiscernible) some don't, we try to meet students where they are at and get comfortable connecting in the space and feeling a sense of ownership and safety within

their (indiscernible) >> the first component of a youth stewardship program trip will be a in clasds visit where we go to the school, we give a presentation on the natural history of san francisco, we talk about the concept of a habitat, so what does a habitat contain, understood, water, shelter, space. >> children at this age, they learn best through using their senses, having the real life experience and (indiscernible) students also learn about responsibility and it is a great message for student to learn, if you take care of environment, the environment will take care of you. >> so, when we finally get the kids outside, we have two main

components to the field trips. one is going to be the restoration component where we are working on the habitat and parks by pulling out (indiscernible) or maybe watering, and then the other side of our trip is going to be the educational component, which can range from a nature walk with a sensory theme where we are talking about what we smell and hear, to a focus on plant adaptation and animal adaptations. >> (indiscernible) >> just a great opportunity for students to learn more, connect with nature, and hopefully what they learn from the youth stewardship program they can take with them for the rest of their lives, and they will appreciate their environment more. hopefully, when they appreciate it, they take care of it more every day. >> (indiscernible)

>> so every year we open the application up in the fall. interested teachers can apply for a classroom visit and up to two field trips to the city park of their choice. field trips are 2 and a half hours long and like i said, they can happen in any city park (indiscernible)

commissioner byrne. >> here >> commissioner yee >> here >> vice president oberstone is excused. >> we have chief scott from the police department and paul henderson from police accountability. >> welcome. good evening. thank you for joining us. wanted to give you a head's up of tonight's procedure. what i will do is take item 1 and i will take items 9 and 10 out of order they are important topics you are here we need to get down to business. i like to take 9 and 10 out and

call them together. there was a clerical error both should have been agendized in one line item they were not. so we are making that correction now. i will take again item 1 then i will do public comment for item one only and skip to items 9 and 10 combined. public comment for 9 and 10 items only and then we will do general public comment for 15 minutes. now recall the general public comment for any item not on the agenda and go to our regular program. i wanted to let you know that i then and there again this is an important topic we appreciate you being here. we want to cut to the chase and get bo it. as a body, our responsibility is to do policy and develop for the department. we have asked the chief of police to begin an investigation, and as you saw

last week. other commissioners have reached out. to the chief of police to ensure an investigation is done in this matter. we asked dph to investigate in policy and any possible disciplinary matters. as the body who decides policy and develop, it is important for us to remain neutral and listen to the facts as they criminal it is my understanding that both the department have begun their investigations. and upon completion of investigations than i will provide us with 2 areas in which we would be able to address. one, policy. whether well is a policy failures or what pottses mode to be changed and the second is discipline. if violations or discipline is warrantied than i will provide that as well. so with had in minds, i would like to begin our meeting.

about the hill bombing in and around delores park on saturday july 8 of 2023 temperature is my goal as chief of police to be transparent. building trust with community we are worn to protect and i hope this helps to continue that work. the incident involved the arrest numerous and the sfpd is sensitive to these case. juveniles are not adults and treated different low and should be does not money they are above the law. skate boarding is an important piece of what makes san francisco a great city. no one was rested for skate boarding. i hope in the future the sfpd, city of know fran, resident and it is neighborhood and skate boarders come and find a way for this event to occur safely and legally. >> number one responsibility is it protect the people of san francisco. on yell 8, reported officers to do that.

officers were not initial low wearing helmets and then they put on for their own protection. >> officers did not point firearms and no teargas or rubber bullets were used. i will out line the safety factors we took when planning. i gallon through what happened leading officers to declare unlawful assembly included assaults and vanld limp. receives issued numerous orders before resting 83 juveniles and 34 adults more than an hour after the unlawful assembly was declird. i will describe the decision to rest this group as well as details some are being investigated. we are relogs the facts and videoed we determine will not compromise our investigations and will not release videos of the arrest of jewels privacy is protected under law and policy.

some what i will talk about was not on body worn camera for example. officers are not obligated to activate cameras had setting up for an event. we are going through hours of footage from all officers involved. due to the volume of videos we have not watched all footage before had presentation and identified a number of vos to release. we will play them containing camera footage and footage from social media. we redacted personal information and faces blurred from avalos to protect identity. as always a time for public ment after the presentation. where i look forward to hearing from the community. delores hill bombing event a concern for the ped speed and other city diameters due to severe injuries as well as nonskate boarding issues like fights, assaults and property damage. people treated for broken bonus.

head trauma and injuries due to the large number of participates paramedics not able to accept the area where people were injured in 2020 a bicyclist was of killed after colliding are a skate boarder at an event. raising occurrence. last year a stabbing. i want to emphasize this is an unpermitted event with no organized leadership it is dangerous for the dangerous and vehiclists and cyclists and pedestrians not participating but risk at being struck. many calls from residence denial in thes neighborhood who have not assessed homes who's homes and vehicle vandalized during evans the city received increasing demand from residents to intervene. i will now discuss what lead to our staffing decision for this

year's event and how many officers we deployed. july of 2020, there were 3 separate hill bomb ins debts. some more then and there 500 showed up. sfpd struggled find staff to respond and as i said before, a cyclist tragically lost his life. and july of 2022, 1,000 people garthed for the hill bomb. one point paramedics and officers assaulted after surrounded by the crowd assisting injured people. october 31 of 22, sfpd deployed more personnel to manage the growing violence and property damage associated. never theless fights, assaults a robbery and a stabbing. an order given during the october event to the crowd and one person was rested. these are important factor in our decision to increase our staffing for the everyone and use barricades to close the

streets. officers out numbered and unable to manage the property damage associated. this year deployed 11 officers from mission station and 40 available on duty officers from tactical special unit and motorcycle units that have train and crowd management and crowd control. 30 additional officers not already on duty to work over time. officers call in the throughout the notice from other stations and officer who is were defy played rafted additional over time. >> we now will play a video from the past events that lead to our decision to deploy more officers. like a party or spectacle and people were like standing on the sides like taking photos. drinking beer.

something to look at. more opportunity there is like for injuries to occur. one person died. i was not there last year i don't know the details. that's why the nows cover today. san francisco man the person killed during an extreme sporting event. young bicyclist was critically injured a skate boarder at delores park. i live in the first one i'm not the biggest fan. people getting together and doing something this is not for everyone. not like a fun playful thing that everyone can do. >> if you are with 100 people that you barely met it happens. it is dangerous. bomb was 4 or 5 people. they don't know them. you have trucks and those around

you. >> this happened tuesday night as skad beerers sped downhill in street race in delores park a skate board magazine needing staple in his head. emergency courthouse ksdz not get through to help him. witness called police complaining of skate boarders grabbing on to cars for a lift up the hill. child through things at them. prevent medical personnel from responding to the scene. it is unlawful to travel down the street in a wrong direction of traffic. bottles were thrown and skate boards thrown at patrol doors break windows.

you will describe the events of july 8 of 23 and provide a time line how things unfolded. 4 p.m. officers set up

barricades and wearing standard uniform and making efforts to have positive interactions with people to ride. that included passing out junior officer stick and ares explaining the hill bombed not take place. 5:30 paramedics on scene to manage any problems. 6. . 15, 2 huh were in the park more garthed on the street behind the barricades. fireworks were observed in the crowd and sfpd began getting reports of right-hand limp. damage to the ping and traffic property. sfpd assisted residence dens to homes opening the barricades. due to the growing safety occurrence some officers put on helmets for protection. at 7:07 the situation intenseified. officers standing behind the

barricade at delores assists drentszs to home a male juvenile in the face of a sergeants the sergeants opened the barricade to reef the jewel the a female jewel struck the sergeant in the face with a sharp object causing a lazeration. shows a sharp object a nail in the female's right hand moments before she struck the sergeant. officers used physical force and detail the male juvenile and place him in cuffs and arrested the female juvenile. i want to be clear. it is unacceptable and illegal to spit in a police officer's face we will arrest anyone without hesitating. i think it also guess without saying assaulting an officer with a weapon is a crime we take seriously. as officers we were making the arrest as officers were making

arrests the crowd grew hostile and officers struck with objects. one was hit in the head with a can of liquid and mayoring a helmet protect her. body camera shows a large firework exploding near the scene sending burning materials to officers. i want to make another point here. the kindses of explose itches that officers were facing are dangerous. officers in the past have sustained serious injuries from the types of illegal fireworks. some had to go on disability leave and others sustained permanent disabilities and were unable to return to duty. >> 7. . 09 the sfpd declared unlawful assembly due to the violence and vanld limp. event commander read the dispursal order to the crowd over a megaphone and a device, l

rad. dispursal orders begin to ensure people have time to exit and understand they may be arrested or force use federal they don't follow the order. the full dispursal order read 12 times during the evening am officers told the crowd and routes of exists over the l read device. many people in the crowd did not dispurse and dismanual the dare wadeos delores. officers formed a line and moved north on delores toward 19th to dispurse the crowd people through can ands glass bottles at officers a firework explode feet away from officers. sgroo at upon 7. . 35 p.m. the sfpd received reports of i gunshot near a light rail vehicle at 18th and church on the other side of delores p.

fireworks toward officers the officer warned he was going to deploy. unclear if the suspect was hit or injured. 15 occasions in which officers reported using their eriw. and each case officers targeted individuals about to throwing fireworks at them. we are reviewing other footage of officer using eriw. no one come forward to report being hit or injured. majority of people around the park dispursed others remained and continued to certainlied lives property. at 8. . 12 p.m. a group of 100 people garthed 18th and delores and removed barricades. people through fireworks at officer and did not comply with the order. some in the group surrounded and occupied muni bus and vandalized. at 8:16 p.m. an hour after the

order was given officers cut out the min group and circled them on 17th between delores and gerrero. the sfpd began to conduct a mass arrest in order to prevent violence, injury and destruction of property. keep will play a video of what took place. i want to repeat we are not showing the arrest because their privacy is protected under state law and department policy.

i will discuss the sfpd's decision to rest the large group of people on 17th and when we

are investigating. i want to repoe we cannot release anybody come are radio from the arrests i can say we are reviewing the footage to determine if any policies were violated. when i can say is this was a very challenging situation. our officers were work to contain a chaotic situation over a wide area. as i said in the master s we arrested 83 and 34 adults. officers seized weapon and contraband sdarded including 2 loaded firearms a pellet gun. sick knives. 9 fireworks, back packs full of spray paint everyone was possessed took it an amount of time. all ordered sit on the ground they were not searchd and the crowd showing i have 11 behavior. upon the juveniles were separated from the adults and

the circle. all juveniles were transported mission station a block away and major by bus. all female juveniles transported separately each given a card and cited in releaseed i parentor guard yen defender's office was notified. no juveniles were interrogated. in addition, the department of police accountant has initiated an religion under the charter authority and will investigate all complaints concerning this merit. one areas we are investigating what we process the youthfuls and whether there were ways to speed it up. in cases it took several hours to process people begin the size of the groups i heard complaintses from parents not abling to contact children we are investigating that. we have heard complaints about juveniles not using the restroom. that some urinated on

themselves. we are reviewing body footage and investigating these complaintses we take seriously. we are not seen anything to corroborate the claim it is we are still reviewing hours of footage. we are not received reports of anyone injured. or no one was killed. aside from our sergeant who sustained a laceration to his face. we are investigating many areas of this response including the complaints from parents. we do take the case very seriously. i will want member of the public affected by the criminal activity associated with the evens to know the sfpd will condition to enforce the luin san francisco. we are reviewing body camera video to identify suspects involved in felonies that occurred. including assaults and vandalism. in touch with the d. children, youth and families, about

resources they can apply for youth and parents following thenceful parents roach out on the website our415. org. they can submit requests and learn more about services an offer. i said from the beginning, my hope is the our city of san francisco can find a way for all residents skate boarders and other members to come together for a safe and peaceful legal events in the future. before we take questions. deputy chief robert o'sullivan will present was directed by the police commission on the fourth of july response. next. chief. good evening, commissioners, chief scott sdpt public i'm the deputy chief assigned to the

investigation's bureau on the fourth of july i was the chief of the field operations bureau and the even commander. for events throughout the city. in response to this commission's inquiry with regards to staffing, planning and response to everyones in the mission i will speak briefly. and myself and the chief of answer questions you might have. so. as we know it is fourth of july celebration and san francisco is a recurring evenly temperature is on the federal level considered a tier 2 event. that is monies a special events assessment rating and for public safety purposes when an events is it is recognition by the federal government. there is a potential of sort violenceor civil disobedience. when we do every year months prior to independence day is

have internal and external meetings internal are hosted by the department chief of the field operations bureau. that was me. i brought together other members.s san francisco police department command staff include my contemp refers and other chiefs the officers of all 10 district stagsz. member of the special operations bureau and discussed concerns for the event as well as the preceding year's event. >> external low we meet with federal part sdmers meet with our city partners the d. emergency management plays a role in providing for public safety throughout this event. as do the d. opinion works and public health. san francisco sfmta and they are on going during the months of may and june leading up to the fourth of july. the objective for public safety services is to provide the

safety of the community with emphasis on pedestrian and vehicular traffic. crowd management and prevention of criminal activity. the way we codify this every district station is required to mitt that is called within the department operations order. that summarizes what the mission is within each of the 10 districts. what the staffing looks like and the xhan control and'd registration is. those operations are submitted throughout chain of commands by each captain to commander and provided by me and i review and approve them. we field operations headquarters i have a member of my staff who -- submits an over all operation's order and review had it take into accounts our ajayceanceies with federal, state and local partners. of note and when has been a

recurring concern the throughout the city of san francisco is the illegal use of fireworks, public intoxication and violence. each the 10 district stations have over the life of the be my career 30 years we have seen the recurring events often they go with alcohol. and so we prepare accordingly. what that means is we staff to the best our ability. and in the fourth of july like a number of other incidents events throughout the course of the year are deemed for staffing purposes to be nondiscretionary days off. the day off is cancelled or if anyone is guaranteed one they have to be on annual vacation leave and well are a few members from each watches that can be off. the bottom line we take this seriously and understand what the public safety concerns are. as far as command in krell on

the evening of the fourth of july we stood up the department operations centers that is common in large scale events. events of concern to us. we will do that in november when the conference is under way. and i just did it with the pride events the fourth of july. new year's eve that affords us and anybody now present commanders is they have the ability in an operational secured location to liaison with our locality, state and federal partner and take reports from the fold and work with partners should we need to deploy resources of agency. in this evening the department operations centers was stood up and results we call a demand post. it is a structure that was established along the wharf and embarcadero every year in the

central police district. covered that geography. i than was asked and there was i document produced that is responsive to the questions that were submitted through you. i trust you have the document if not we will provide temperature i will not read it verbatim there are a lot of numbers but i know that the questions was what have commissioner. >> yes. we the get a copy of that. to you. >> one questions that was included were what were the occurrence throughout the city. without going through all 10 stipulations i will pinlt to the obvious. the southern district includes south of market and treasure island yearly sees heavy traffic. a lot of pedestrians on treasure island. we staff we hope to be a good initial officers above than what would be on any given night of

the week. in the mission police district i will get to that is why i'm doing this presentation is -- for decades now we had tremendous amount of use of illegal fireworks. up in the delores park area on gerrero and the lower 24th street corridor. left year i was the command are dushgs the forth of july. and unfortunately, we had a large scale silv disobedience in that your. there were bob fires i will call them fires that were lit throughout the lower 24th street corridors on harrison between 24 and 26. this went on for a period of time and caused concern for the safety of the individuals this were there at the scene and there were hundreds there. lighting off fireworks, drinking. but we became concerned about the structures in this your.

those homes are very olds. they are wood. and we would he to see and tragic combvent structures caught on fire could turn into a multialarm responsive of a block or more. going up in flames. at the request of the fire department so they could attends top when their duty was that evening, we upon deployed officers from the waterfront. and i will say this the last and this fourth of july we had no issues around public safety. there were medical calls for service. that will happen when you have thousands of individuals. we have separated parties and small children and plans for that. in this case, the fire department needed to get in this scene. and their ill equiped go in a

scene like that we work with them and train with them and under the direction of the commanding officer at the scene there were a couple one was our tactical officer. probable familiar referred to or known by the public swat. we call the tactical team. they have training. they had to do crowd formations to dispurse the crowds of the fire department could put out the fires. woe only did this last year and this year after we issued numerous orders. you heard in the clip played a portion of those order was. that is according to law and policy. and we do that several times before we move in. there is a script that is read and required to be read and pursuant to penal codes, after individuals are noncompliant we

need to make a move. we are weighing the public safety of the community at that point. last year as we does this year we made the decision to move in. with regards to this year i don't know commissionering you have a question i'm almost done. in live what occurred last year, myself, my commanders as well as the captain of mission station made the decision to add staffing to the mission district. because we were our intent before that activity knowing that complete prevention was not likely. so what happened was beginning the mid afternoon 3 p.m. in the afternoon, dozens of police officers were deployed to the lower 24th street corridor and they were begin assignments. different posts and for the early part of the afternoon things were calm.

fireworks later on in the late afternoon and the evening befwn to be detonated. when i refer to fireworks, i don't think i'm out of line calling nel explosive ordinances they are commercial grade fireworks up to a lesser extent. things that could hurt, millennium and be lethal for individuals. the evening wore on and deposit close to 10 and 11 o'clock and 12 o'clock the crowd estimate provide was 400 people along harrison street 24 and 26th street. i had a conversation again as i mentioned the operations centers i had conversations with xhndzing officers out at the scene and the issue were reported to me. it was reported this there were bottles thrown and short low after things begin to progress there were side shows this developed. in and around and near that

crowd people now in the street they were pedestrians people were throwing bottles at individuals and a fire was lit. at that point my decision and direction we no long are tolerate this level of disobed 11s. what happened last year it is in the to have i repeat of that. and pursuant to california penal code the officer with the assistance of a command and are our tactical commanding officer gave several orders to dispurse. after doing that, after dozens of officers trained moved n. they were wearing protective equipment. includes a helmet, shield and baton. some individuals were carrying

less lethal range impact weapon. some i understand how the member of the public would think it was a ratify or a shotgun. 91 of this was deploy in the this incident. those are devices launch nome projectiles and individuals are trained not every officer is trained or allowed use those. receives moved in the crowd dispursed. there is plug are of body camera footage that captures what occurred on twosh harrison street. and as the officers were giving the orders or captain was, a number of fireworks, comploezive and bottle were thrown at officers. this incident took about roughly an hour and 30 minutes to dispurse this crowd. i mentioned it was several handled individuals. there was less lethal use of

force. some of those range impact weapons were deplayed. we had no one that came forward to report to us they were struck by projectiles we know they have the officers pursuant to policy documentd that on come raand wrote incident reports and supervisors required do so reviewed that footage and memorialized all of that. in an incident report n. this incident there was violence, toward the officers and other members of the public the crowd did dispurse and no arrests. as is often the case in crowd situations like this. you don't have a one time the crowd leaves. and all the sudden there are 4 or 200 people going their ways and left the area. what typically happens the learning are group if compliant. they were the learning are portion of the group will leave and we have pockets. . we remained in the area an hour

after that push. as we told people to leave to address the small are pockets and make sure no one garthed am again and in this unlawful activity. >> my question was i know you mentioned a lives questions the list was for the fourth of july not the delores park incident. you was everything i referred to was the fourth of july incident. why if you get that list to the commission staff tomorrow to post it for the public. >> yes. >> okay. at this time commissioners will ask questions. and then after that i will open up to public comment we do want to hear fru. and so at this time i will ask the chief a few questions and i will turn it over to my fellow commissioners. one of the thing in your

presentation you indicate there was no organization or snob reach out top with respect to the event. and my understand thanksgiving events hen years in the make going on for years. i guess my concern is yet department did not do more out reach to reach individuals who were participating. we have a community policing dgo and strategic plan on community mreegs you have social media the department has to roach oust to people to make that contact or engage the communities. there is captain meeting and out reach the department does in communities, why the department did not engage the strategy fist they knew this event would help it was happening for years. >> why? [applause], look i want to be respectful to everyone your

opinions and comments are very important to us we want to get through this ask question and we want to hear from you. >> >> thank you. president elias. there was out roach to people in the skate boarding communities including one person who helped star this upon event. and they were sought out to get their opinion on when we needed to do to ensure safety. this is about the safety of not only the participates butt people who are in the area and live and work there. that out reach was done we did get recommendations. in terms of even it is a not organized event. we found out about it on social media. a couple days before in 2020 there were at least 3 events that popped up we did not know were coming. and part of the thought process

based on that out reach, which several people said you really should not allow this to happen. somebody will die again. and part of the strategy was to not allow delores street to be used for that purposeful that's yet bear cased they were at the recommendation of prior incident commanders who had to deal with this issue. and recommendations from people in the skate board community. there is no organized leadership i know of this puts the evans on it started this way. and we back in those days we worked with those individuals employees are that's not the case anymore this not the event it was when it start today is in the. did not have this violence. did not have what we saw in the videos for the last 3 year its is in the the same event. it is very hard to reach oust to people when there is no official

organization to reach out to. it just very hard to do that. we welcome if anybody here listening who is listen to this or watching this police commission meeting. upon if this is going to help we have to find a way to make it safer and legal and so people don't get hurt and does not impact the community as it has e involved to. that out reach was done. we did not post public low this event would be shut down. we tried get there early to tell people as they arrived we will not allow the bomb on delores street. one of the reasons being that in prior years we had just almost like stunt driving evans we sine fine out the last minute and have to asemble resources the last thing on that lessons learned from the past. with our deploy am in the past we tried a number of things.

including not have so many officers there and ready to bring them in if it starts to evolve to something dangerous that plan did not work at all. because we could not get officer in there the sproet streets were blocked that is the reasons we did not broadcast that the upon effects would shut down. honest low they will move somewhere and he wills we are another issue we don't have enough receives to do that. that's what the thinking was and the reasoning behind it. gi appreciate that. buff i think this some ownous the department to make more efforts to roach out. under the community policing strategy and strategic plan the department engage the xount and know when is going on and eventses and have that repore. i think that is something that was lacking. i will say this was out roach to people who live in the community

and -- that did happen. including the people i mentioned there was out reach to people who live in the community and part of that govern. the strategy and deploy and want what we responds. >> what efforts did the department under take to tell the defense with those juveniles participating and/or violating the luand those juveniles that were not and just wrapped up in this? we heard from commune members last week about kids being sort of hurled together with in mass groups. what strategies and tactics did the department use to tell the difference with the 2 instead of hursting them all in one. >> one things we tried to do is you saw in the videos. we for an over an hour, read the dispursal orders and tried get

people to leave the location. it is irrelevant hard in a chaotic situation to know something you see. you see sometimes people doing had they are doing. throwing fireworks and those things. is there a possibility that there may have been people caught up in this? a possibility. yes. but what i will say is this, the dispursal order was read to give those people an opportunity to leave repeated low the group that remained a lot of people did leave. the group that remain was still violent and destroying property and doing things that were dangerous. and after reading this order so much the decision made that we need to arrest it is in the getting better with this group this is i group we tried to you heard the commandses to push

them out of the area. and that was done methodically and deliberatally and give people an opportunity to leave temperature is hard to tomorrow in that chaotic situation if they are a few people that are not. we heard of the youth were trying to leave but herd in the a certain direction had they went there they were not able to leave to use the public

trespassing they were corraled and held. toward the end the when we made the arrests that's very true. but what i will say is this and you heard it on the when we read the admonition to dispursal we are required give the route to leave. if you go in some other route we blocked for reasons to get the scene in control we will tell you to got way we asked to you go the way we directed you to go. if you don't do tht thing breaks down. so -- every time that order was read the direction that we needed people to leave was read. every time. and -- we don't have the luxury of saying you know these 5 you go. you go this way. because what was happening is people were trying to circle

back and had things that was dangerous. so the direction was begin every time in the end. this is very true. somebody tried leave had that started. they could not go this way. >> and then how many officers were deployed. i know you give a time frame you start at 4 and the mass arrests at 8. how many were deployed at 4 p.m. and additional officers deployed between 4 and 8 p.m.? this started with the counts the tactical unit the motorcycle unit and the officers in over time. they were there from the start. were there additional officers other than what you report exclude did they appear at that

time >> additional officers did appear when called throughout night the situation got to that level. but the original deployment was there were officers that were held on over time of some of the shifts were held. and -- during the night there were officers call in the i don't have the core of the deploy am was what i read out. i will do the math now. about eighty-one. i believe eighty-one. >> eighty-one plus a few different. >> yes. >> and you also indicated that around 8 o'clock a mass arrest when strategies did the department utilize or du formulate a game plan you see all the individuals you realize you are going to rest them all and these are not just individuals they are youth

require additional safe guards. what did the department do to ensure they were >> in terms of -- understanding who youthing and who is not. everybody that was the females separated the adults separate friday the juveniles. the adults were separated and you heard in the vo we -- directed everybody to sit down no one was searched. if became the processing of all folks that were arrested. what does this men they were waiting for a bus is this >> processing. ordered a bus. to get them through we did not have the transportation to at the scene to get them to the station we did bait on a bus. >> why. >> why did you wait for a bus it

f it started at 4 and resting at 8. there was -- there were several people you would arrest. >> thing is this. we the outcome was not when we wanted in terms of making the arrests. that's why we read the order. the year prior we did the same, people left. one was arrested. fourth of july. elf most of the time people comply. we will determine whether or not we have prestaged bus the hope and the desire is when we read the order people comply and leave the your to stop the behavior. that was not we did not go in this want to arrest 112 people we went in addressing safety issues and went in trying to

prevents the hill bombing from occurring that's why we had barricades prepared for the violence we got in the past years but in past years once it got to that level people left. usually the group that does not comply is a smaller group. all that said this is things we will flush out in the investigation and change our methods of doing temperature we went monopoly this in the video. engaging. no helmets. when it got to the level of we are done everything we can do. people that remained were violent and decided to make that arrest at that time and tell be plushed out and change our

photographyos always having transportation. i tell you in the past we have not always had transportation like that for mass arrests most of the time people comply. with respect for the further investigation you are also conduct you know investigations in terms of policy recommendations and discipline. and you indicated dpa will investigate for members of public. and we heard last week prosecute public that there were reports of youth you know being detains and some of the rights violates and the way they were treats. you have not received reports of that. i heard parents i'm seer are here tone. i don't think those complaints go to dpa under the charter if a

citizen come mrin about thes department they have to file the complaint with dpa not the police department. so officers that file complaints with the police department. >> some of those complains start with us and rerefer them. we get complaints often and make the referral and that's what will be done in this case. all the booking procedures were officers had come ares on we are going through a lot of video to see what happened and whether or not going can be substantiated. that takes. you have not received complaints from the public about some of the stories we heard last week or violations? >> one has come through my

office. >> have you received any complaints from the public regarding some of the? >> we received complaints immediately we received complaints on this incident and started the full investigation. separate from that, we received complaints from legal and public entity and governmental entities. in addition i have been in communication with the chief directly about subelemental complaints both to the chief's office and other departments within the police department. about having those complaints for to dpa. you indicate that the department is the dpa will investigate the complaints who in the department will ensure that dpa has access to materials to further this investigation.

this is a mass investigation that has to happen >> yes. that is one of the things we talked about. now or legal unit under risk management. mark is that person. that will make sure that we get dpa when they are asking for. there are constraints with juvenile records and i discussed that. we will work through what we can give legally that already started. the requests came in quickly.

received complaint and full investigation with the policy issue and in terms of incident and crowd control policies and any misconduct for discipline. obviously, there were subelementalent row and this is a big incident with i will not repeat the numbers the evidence itself is big and resources are strained. dpa worked on this and we reached out to make sure we have the evidence that we need and theed recoverieds we need for our dlgzs i spoke to the chief about trying to facilitate the discovery we need in 2 areas. with the incident wants. assured me we will get. there is miscommunications in the beginning about trying to be specific about that

specifically. and with body cameras. obviously there were some legal complications with juvenile records but we are collaborating and coordinate with the city attorney's office to elevate some way to stream line the issues due to the volume with the case. i will flack the videos the chief mentioned from mta in terms of making sure we prioritize if there are videos that -- we have access to or could have to expedite those as well as part of this discovery process while we conduct our investigations. i have one final question. use of force. i know that we revised t. so are

you do you have a mechanism to track the use force that court reportered during the incident and provide the stats separately. >> i have them now of the use of force reported 15 discharges of eriw and 3 of physical force. take downs. upon 18 use of force in total. >> all right. commissioner walker. >> thank you. thank you. chief for the presentation i had a question. it hen answered in the different in how the -- july 4 and -- the -- skate board bomb happen exclude people did not dispurse.

is that fair to say. seems like the crews were large and engaging in the same accyst. fireworks and drinking and there was order it is begin and the crowd dispursed eventual low there was no mass arrested. where that is true. if i can say, typically i have been involved in a lot of these incidents as commander. if you have the electric of giving people in time to dispurse that is the preferred method when you have hundreds of people they don't leave at the same time. situations are so chaotic and dangerous you give that order and act quick on making arrests.

in this case and the fourth of july there was, lot going on and they did allow in time not on the first they allowed time that is how we operate. if we v had death and injuries and it is in the better that decision is made quicker. as well as it should be. we try to give people time to dispurse because of the reason and questions you have. and these are chaotic situations and you. to repeat the dispursal order and repoe and repeat it. make sure people hear and you give team time to leave that is what happened in this case. yes. >> so, the one thing that did concern me is the use that we are waiting as they were

detained and waiting to are processes. we got a presentation about prebooking processing for juveniles as opposed pretrial. we are talking about that all of us are discussing that. is there a reason that like our cart partners are not brought in to help with the mass situations. seems like there needs to be folks to council the youth and take care of needs. different then and there having adults. that's an along time for kids for fouth to be there. there might be language issues there might be medical needs. some of the spokes that we

partner with to deal with youth. a discussion about bringing them in. >> currently, the policy and the lawmanidates this first interaction with the attorneys with the defender office that's why that call was made we are prohibited from having any conversation with the youth. rules there are to protect rights i think that we should rethink in terms of the best way to do that is. we have to process and we have to get basic information making contact with parents. the laws are restrictive to determine what went of and the

laws are there for a reason. we can't -- we can't talk to the youth that's what our policy and law says now. we have to wait until there is the third party attorneys there to protect the person's rights and youth rights. they were there on site but not enough. >> quo have to work that out because we do have incidents and had -- situations where it could resul. than i have because people left.

>> i see. i'm in concurrence with my commissioners and you that i would be happy to be part of a conversation to figure out how to do this in a right way. we have a city we have lots of protest situations they are not permitted there is somebody to talk to. there is trinning that happens for people within the groups to help keep the safety going. i want to help have that

conversation. i feel like -- skate boarding in and of itself is a positive thing that kids like to do most us up here in our lifetimes. this there is a difference with skate boarding and what happened here the things troubling are the things that created yours in cases death. so -- i think the problem is finding somebody who can represent the group. and -- have a conversation about temperature so we can help make it safe. i love to see this happen. i'm for streets closing for these events but i'm not -- at all happy with the accidents that happen. and seeing people get hurt. that's what i would like to say and glad to hear that everybody is working on doing the investigations and making sure we can learn from this.

thank you for the presentation. i want to start by echoing what -- president elias mentioned about community out reach and dialogue. i think whether it is community partnersa work with young people and the neighbors in the community or the many groups that we facilitate skating practicals could have been more robust am announcing and posting up. i don't condone fireworks where there are children. i commend our officers for --

entering the space in a respectful manner. things evolved quickly and -- it became challenging. but i do still believe that we -- there was a failure of de~esque laying. we have an incident we compare fourth of july with once the group came in with the tactic that was described there was a dispursal. in this case there were hours before an announcement made for dispursal and then escalated. i'm glad we are having an investigation in the policy. failure or policy improvements we can make. because what seemed to be clear from the videos. right? there was a peaceful event.

police were barricading areas the young people decide we will bomb another hill which is when young people do and to the people concerned with the risk skate boarding the young people therein are accidents. and i file our responsibility is to create safety. and make sure those events when they happen are safe as possible and that seemed to have happened for the initial period and unfortunately escalated. have there verification of being actual shots fired at that point before the dpr disbursal calls were made? >> we don't have evidence of that. except for somebody call in the. you heard on the video. there was a lot of explosion sounds with the fireworks. it could have been that i don't know. it came in as a shots fired. i know we were not able to show all the video if i may comment

on the deescalation. part of when you see when you on some of the videos you see it but the officers tried to keep a baptist distance when we between them and the crowds. and you heard a video the commander is giving orders to slow it down. there were times that we are -- take the vandalism where you heard a bit of it where they did run. because there was vanld limp done and actually the running toward the crowd they stopped and the crowd disbursed. the command are has to really -- make decisions based on what is happening at the time on the deescalation, piece of this,

part of reading the disbursal order for an hour. there were many conversations happening. you picked up a lot on video. there is videos officers at the barricades and the crowd is there and conversations are upon whatting. there were a chance to deescalate we started the deployment went monopoly with getting compliance. we did not shut that down. we allowed that to happen. there were no injuries on cumberland there were other thing this is is a huge area to cover. and so there were ins debts happening that were cause for major concern. shots firebirds. muni trains. the trains and bus were full of people.

it shows reokay of the passengers that were -- in that bumps frightening. so -- part of this is make sure everybody is protected. and make sure they are not hurt and. to make surety public is protected. too much gotta have that billions. and sometimes you don't have the luxury of waiting. and sometimes you do. that goes to de~esque ligz when you have i train full of people. people are full pulling doors open on the train in the middle of all of this going on. we gotta react. there were multiple incident and a series of sponses this lead to a major responsibles. i heard you use the term encircle am.

we heard from testimony last week people were kettled is that a tactic the police department utilizes. >> the encirclement is had is called in our training. it is when you isolate a portion of and done in these types of situations a number of people arrested. you isolate them. that group. and circle and then you give direction to what you need them to do so you can do that safely. and that is encirclement. this is what officers trained to and how we make those types of arrests. it is a common tactic in mreegs the idea is to contain make sure that people are not running and you have to do this all over. nais a tactic is what is taught.

i think you recognized and acknowledged as a result of a mass encircling or kettle whatever we call it there may have been people who were not necessary low part of the destruction of property or the resisting of the orders this may have been capture in the that. and is there a way to determine who those individuals were. i think that is a question we want to resolve. right? >> yes , sir. what how we plan to do that. there is a lot of video evidence. not just body but a lot of video in public sector. on social media. >> there have been people identified already. who were arrested that were doing other things besides just being there. those that information when we are done with this investigation will be begin on juvenile probation now all the cases sit

with juvenile probation except for ones charges 4 are charged. we do flon presents the evidence of people involved in vandalisms, assaults and all that. some of the people have been identified already. some of them we know we will identify. and we have a lot of pictures that officers are trying to put face with names and once that is done, you know i think we will be able to tell who is doing what. at least to a certain degree and the people who there is no evidence. probation will do had they do. that is their call this is the department that is -- trying to start a diversion program we understands what is at stake appeal caught up in the moment.

not asking for anything people to go to prison. we do want the families and the parents once the calls are made to the parents in to understand what happened. understand when the danger was for the people involved to understand when the danger was. it was a dangerous situation. and people laugh ore o a firework not funny when you lost your hearing and now you don't have a career anymore it it is not fun when he fingers get blown off. there were 5 year old kids out there in all this stuff. not funny when a fireworks lands in front of a kid and somebody gets hurt. it is not a joke. it is very serious. what happened was very serious. and there needs to be some acounsel act for those acts that were happening. and thank you very muches not all fun and games somewhere

their out to skate. some were. no doubt. otherers upper not. as was evidenced by the stuff we found people dumped knives, guns, back packs full of graffiti. spray paint and etchers. not everyone was out there for 99 purposes and i think the public needs to understands that. that is the reason why this incidents gets attention and we are going through the prers and the process to get to this end. right? make sure there were young people disrespected or any and violations that those will be held the way those young people or young adult who is caused property damage and damaged people's lives will be brought. so as long as weer same page we are work nothing a pair level process this is explores and

improve public safety oust come. i want to leave something from the department general order this governs how officers are supposed to interact with young people tom does a question why we certain decision were made. the policy statement says that when detaining arrests or taking a juvenile in temporary custody members choose the alternative restricts the freedom of movement. i think the out kroi or a lot of the comments we heard last week remember as a result of and i seen video. not the ones you showed but social media videos of young people zip tied for hours. upon my understanding is young people are supposed football individual's mirrandized and a

call to the parent and public defender office. did this take place. >> there were delays. let him finish. lease. there remember -- try and have order everyone in the room will have 2 minutes to comment let the chief complete his sentence. there were delays. yes. there were delays every child was picked up. member had to be called to pick them up. in. families were contacted. there were delays. warning begin nobody was interrogated and these are all things that will flush out in the investigation and including if there are recommendification

this is needed to be made on the zip ties that is a fact. they were zip tied and the reason that they were zip tied is fireworks, guns were recovered and a report of shots fired we know the gun recovered had anything to do with that the fact is when you have a group of people that you now are responsible for they near your custody, you don't want to have i situation where you have people with weapons in that situation. we secured their hands this was violence not -- just spray painting trains. this was violence. that's why it was doneful we will look whether or not changes need to be made but that's why it was done. there were parents expressing concern they were physically

there, and whatever feasible and does not pose a threat to the person or community that we are supposed to release them to parents when there are verified is there a reason why that did not take place. it did take place it took time temperature did take time of let mow say this. to her. there is the parents had to be contacted to come there to peck them up than i were contacted or somebody responsible for the child was contacted. there were delays and we will look at everything that was done to ensure if we did not follow policy that will be address exclude look at the policy to see what needs to be changed. if there is a situation where you have almost 100 people.

that's notify not a run of a mill situation. that's the time to do what needs to be done for the process the citation and booking process and had adults in a separate from the juveniles. processing takes time of there were delay and we need to figure it out the way to speedup the process. that is the rep they were zip tie exclude this is all what we will investigate. that's an area for growth if we knew we would have so many officers out there. but -- if we therein were young people there and have the policies that say we have to feed them every if detain them

for 4 hours and access to the restroom. my last question, 2. one. begin the concerns about body cam are footage will dpa have access to that so they complete investigations for young people that submit upon occurrence. we started that process. the one issue is with the juvenile records we cannot release those without a court order. we will do it legally. all about privacy of the juvenile. those laws are there for a reason we will honor those rules. >> the last question i

understand this we still don't know whether the probation department will proceed with filing charges. and it is my understanding that since, the normal procedure during the week is probation and community referral center. than i dot book and fingerprinting. all this processing takes place through this diversion program we have in place this happened on a weekend my understanding the department fingerprint and did the mug shots. if when charges are drops on individual youth what happens to the record and what can the families do to make sure they are not kept for future reference? the probation department make that determination. as to what to do from there.

vice chair there are processes. juvenile records are sealed. and as far as release after cases are files, go through court process. so the cases are not filed they will not there is nothing as far as documentation of the charges. there is documentation in our records of the arrests. those are not release the earthquake. we don't release those go through a press to garth them. those are not released to anybody. >> dot records remain in the system so the young people will have a record in the system? een if the charges are dropped? >> there is a record of the rest of a person that is raefrded and

i will follow up long-term we don't release those. i can follow up with you to make sure i'm givingut protect information. >> that's it. commissioner benedicto >> thank you. thank you for this presentation. couple of things i want to state before i asked a few questions. something that the commissioner urged poole on who have complaintses that experience the event and file a complaint to do so. file umsly. dpa is an beg your pardoned agency of the department. it is not like reporting to the department it is independent i urge you to do that. a lot of my questions asked i

will not repeat i want to thank and acknowledge the showing of community we have. i understands we are people in an over flow room waiting to come in. i know invoent to come here to comment and can be intimidating and traumatic typing experience. i thank the community. i anticipate there will be disagreement among the community inspect prosecute found disagreement. but i think it is important that everyone here hopeful low acknowledge we want the same goal for this event to be safe for all members of our xount and who i we may have disagreements in how we get there we are -- boshging toward that goal together. a couple more things i spoke left week how this outcome felt unacceptable. and i stand by those commentses

and echo and clarify that -- attacking an officer and firing fireworks at officers are not acceptable and no way that is something this commission condones. both of these things can be prevents federal we work to make sure we are not put in this position and both of those can be true as you have a safer effort. . a couple questions on preparation you know the date the sfpd anyhow this would sxhap began preparations. >> on social media it was 3 days before when we discovered it on social media. typically the event happens in

july. we also had other events. we had pon stainius. another happened on october 31st. this we found out on social media. it is something that happen in july the main one. and happen in july so not we anticipated it would happen and don't know when. yoch there has been reporting planning that took place late june would this sound like there was plan nothing john? >> in terms of meching sure we have the deploy am? every year any event we assess and if it happens when did we do. this was on our mind last year

ended with the dispursal order read as limp the outcome was bert. people left. but the -- understanding that we would need officers available that was happening earlier. because we anticipated this would be some time in july. >> i want to repiece about the community meetings and out reach correct there were no general community meetings that the department will have in veterans of learning events. there was in thes one for this event. this is correct. there was oust roach to discuss the event. members were talked to and discussed and this event was discussed and including people this started this event to get their take on things. tlfgs not a meeting held for this event. social media posts informing the

community would be the department was look to block? >> no >> posters around the community. >> no. >> i know we talked about out reach and left week we had mission merchant association a skate shop owner to reach out to in terms of trying to plan this event. were other departments or agencies involved in the planning process between late john and the events taking place. in terms of planning other city agencies i can't tell you when than i were brought in. muni, of course. it affect the the routes and rilines never had this help with the randled limp. will park range and fire

department because of injuries year after year we had we tried to do certain things to mitt ghat and the dots on the streets. slow down the skaters on the hill this did in the work. there was coordination with, agency this is is in the a police department it impact it is multiple agency there is were communes. there was xhugz. were additional dots added. >> um for this event, no. oning thing that happens some people removed the dots or some of them. so -- that happened and -- again that tactic was not effective so

i don't this year i year i'm not sure. the commission is informed of events there was notification the commission. why 3 days before the event is when i believe 3 days confirmed social media this would happen there is there are i think some people who participated in the event are not interested with organizing with the police department. we saw evidence on video. so -- so -- desniet we are willing to have a conversation with anybody who is going to participate or help organize in a way that this can be done safely and be done legal low. we are willing to have a conversation with anybody. we are reached out to people in

the skating community. care about skating community and the safety of what is helping in the events. this out reach will continue. and anybody else who wants to be i part of this. please let that be known is we will make it happen. out reach what about other agencies other elected shalls the da. >> elected officials than i received complaints. yes. elected officials that district received many complaints about this. there is conversations. when you don't know when tell happen. i want to give an anal gee that may be equal to everybody listening here. our stunt driving event they help all the time. sometimes we know because of social mode yepped. sometimes we know because other cities call us and tell us. this will is really that type of

scene. we don't actually know, >> okay we don't actually know for sure when the events will happen. last year, people kept it pretty quiet until it happened and all of the sudden 500 people show and up responds to that. it is not as scientific as some might thank you is the not the events when it started where people wanted to work with us. it is in the that event anymore.

arrests needed came but not the desired out criminal we look to how to avoid the pitfalls of the future having those organizations like -- probation or public defender i way might be something and cut dun on delays that were in the when weave wanted see? >> i agree with that and ghaen we a sthesz and the investigations are done we will be a recommendation. move to the night 15 impact weapons deployments and 3 physical take downs. >> that's right. >> under use of force policy by

cover officer. >> of the case each deployment it is would be a cover officer has had unhollistered. >> that did not occur in this situation. as far as the loathal confer that was made and air decision i support of the there is a specific reason that we have a lethal cover officer in those situations. i account that would have escalate third degree more. i passport this decision. i'm glad to hear this. when i was that was a concern i'm glad that call was made. i know you mention investigating the [inaudible]. activation miles an hour asking to be cold and figure for whoed to be up and asking for i blanket or warmth. why we are investigating this.

you know with all the body camera footage we will go through -- if that were the case, it should be on cam are >> and asking for water. why yes. >> i like to move on to next steps and talked about how to avoid this outcome. you know i would expect this is not the left time we will talk about this. we announced and the confirms they are looking into this one question that commissioner asked about dpa had access to when they need. i ask if anything is causing log jam in investigations as we go forward to keep. >> great idea. gi think in late august if the department and dpa can provide the commission i know we will be

dark sends an e mail to staff were the status of the document exchange and issues when we come become in september we hit the ground running. >> will do. il schedule about status of this t. going forward. as well. do know the left time an event lead to more than 100 arrests >> in 2020 had mass arrest situations after the george floyd protests. we had enkirkelments i don't have a number but there were a lot rested in i couple different events. left time more than 80 juvenile it is arrested. >> there were juvenile in 2020 and i will have to verify were novelty 80. why is it possible there has not been this number of juvenile arrests since started.

>> since you started this is true. >> great. prithink those are my questions i know commissioner walk are mentioned working to make it safer in the future. and we only over see 2 departments. buff i believe that whatever part of the of city leads this effort not the police department. that the sploept play a role in the sponse to future events. i think other departments p and rec come to mind. so go to their meetings member of the public than i have a commission should be lead by other agencies and multiagency and will should be didn't to mech it safer in the future. >> deputy chief i have a couple questions for the fourth of july. thank you. i
