this is new for the commission. in january of this year, we approved more -- new enforcement regulations, and they went into effect on march 20, and incorporated into those inforcement regulations was a consent calendar. items appearing here do not require discussion by the commission, but we'll open it for public comment at this time. there being no public comment, we'll move onto agenda item four, discussion and possible action on drost minutes for the commission's february 16, 2018 regular meeting, the march 16, 2018, regular meeting, the april 3, 2018 special joint meeting with the board of supervisors, the april 18, 2018 special meeting, and the april 20, 2018 regular meeting. director pelham? >> thank you, chair chiu. i just wanted to note for the public's information and for the commission's information, we have completed our minutes draft for the april 3 special joint meeting of the commission. we did not, however complete them in time for the posting on friday to meet brown act requirements. so our plan is

commission. but it comes back to a steering committee. and the steering committee consists of two people from treasure island development authority. there is one from the arts commission, one from the private developer. and who else? >> it's actually the president of the commission as well as tom, the executive director from the arts commission. so two from the arts. >> and then richardson and myself are on the steering committee. so it has to come back to that steering committee before it gets a final vote and decision by this board, by the treasure island development authority has the final decision on it. so there is still a little bit of a process to go through. i would say that unanimously, everybody was absolutely excited and stunned by the proposal by sugimoto, which is very monumental structure, but it also is a concept of infinity, so it goes from a base of about 40 feet and goes to a point, a little bit over an inch. the idea of infinity. but also a sun dial. the summer equinox, there w

the immigrant rights commission. the health commission and police commission. i believe i have been appointed because i have dedicated to working on and solving difficult issues for all san franciscans and representing those who may not have been able to speak for themselves. i have demonstrated fiscal responsibilities. ensuring that we address priorities without hurlting those who need help the most. i believe i have the understanding and background to continue to be a productive and useful member of the police commission. our work has just begun. with the use of force policies, body worn cameras and electric control devices. we need consistency and commitment to continue the implementation of reforms presently moving forward. thank you for your attention in this matter. >> supervisor safai: thank you, commissioner. any questions from supervisor commissioner yee? >> thank you, supervisor. i guess we had a little discussion was it yesterday? one of the things we talked about is the creation of the staffing task force. >> yes. >> supervisor yee: and how i wanted

>> i think the commission has substantial amount of authority. congress is pretty clear insert provisions of the comedic -ish in fact, congress decided that state and local bought has the effect of prohibiting deployment of these new services, so our job at the commission is to take the guidance and decision commerce has made and interpret them and make sure they still make sense in light of the modern technological deployment, so we do have is a seven-- substantial amount of authority. >> there's going to be a lot of opposition from local and state groups? >> i anticipate we will see some of that. i will speak in a couple weeks at boston at the us conference of mayors and we will continue to work on issues. we have seen a number of states i think about 20 that passed state level small cell bills showing there's a lot of communities out there that are very forward thinking. they understand the economic benefits that will come from these new deployments. >> commissioner carr is that fcc commissioner. >> i think we share a commitment to seeing five

i applaud that commission. why do you want to leave that commission to go to the police commission? >> i feel like i can add more to the police commission. it's broader in scope. and we are also looking at sanctuary policies, and overall criminal justice. that is why i want to. >> all right. speaking of sanctuary policies, a former member of the board of supervisors has taken an interest in this position when it comes to sanctuary city. can you talk about your opinion on what she is saying? assuming that you, i mean -- >> i've been following it. i have not spoken to her personally. i know she earlier on had crafted policies when she was a member of the board of supervisors. i believe in sanctuary policy because we are less safe when people don't feel like they can come out and report when they are victims of crime. i don't believe that the policy was to harbour people who have felonies and in particular, violent felonies. >> you would believe with angela's position? >> if it is narrowly tailored, yes. >> thanyou why. i have no other questions. >> supervisor stefani? >> supervisor st

there are over 80 documents on the police commission, commission did a lot of work to come to the decision that it did. and i can't judge that because i haven't been through the work. i've started, but there's a lot. >> supervisor safai: thank you. i want to go back to a couple of your answers because i think you gave surface-level answers on a couple and dive in more so people understand and i understand. you said you work with community groups, you are on the streets on a daily basis, you have a lot of contact with groups and referenced rudy, and i think i know who you are talking about. what are the groups you worked with on a daily basis and people that you would get guidance from and getting information from the guidance from the commission and those that you have worked with on the rules something. and one of the other questions, you've been active, even when you did not make the cut last time. you stayed active with this commission. so talk about that a little bit. and the work that you have done to attend meetings and stay current with the direction of this commission. >> so people

at this time, members of the public may address the commission within the subject matter of the commission september agenda items with respect to agenda items. your opportunity to address the commission will be afforded when the item is reached in the meeting. each member of the public may address the commission up to 3 minutes. >> does anybody wish to comment on a nonaend a item? if so, please come forward. hearing none, we'll close public comment. >> that will place us under department matters. director's announcement. >> good afternoon. no formal report from the director this afternoon. eye would be happy to forward any questions you have for the next hearing. >> item two, review of past events of the planning commission and announcements. >> department staff just a few items to share with you this week. one is your recommendations regarding the pending districts for central soma area plan will be heard at the planning commission on may 10th, next week. and as you know, the planning commission evaluates those proposed designations based on several factors related to bay area regional tr

that's -- we interface with this commission. they can propose things to us, and then, we have the ability to either amend it, agree with them, and then if we amend it in any way it has to go back to them again. so that's my only point. i might agree with all this 100%. is there a time -- is there something in particular in terms of timing that wouldn't allow us to have at least -- just continue this until the next meeting so we could have some more conversation? >> no. i don't think there's any pressing matter before us that requires this legislation be passed today? >> supervisor safai: did you want to just say one thing in terms of the impact on public financing? >> yes. so legislation itself does not include any of that. so it's more like a large -- longer term conversation we were having with ethics which is also very interested in looking at public financing just to sort of say it briefly and it's not in relation to this legislation, but new york, you know, there's different models, there's 6:1 and 4:1 ratios, and there's d

the ethics commission? >> the ethics commission had to take part of it.the office of contract administration also had a role in it. >> commissioner kopp: and who signs the final document waiving a bid? >> the office of contract administration. >> commissioner kopp: all right. and how long was that contract? >> that was a three-year contract, and then, there was a new contract in 2010. and then, there was an amendment in 2013 that was a five-year contract. that contract is almost expired, and then, we have another contract that is now running concurrent to the 2013 contract that will eventually pick up support for the system after the contract expires in 2018, and it will also allow us to implement some new projects. >> commissioner kopp: when will that expire? >> that contract will expire mid2020. >> commissioner kopp: you said the contract expires in 2018. >> the 2013 contract expires in 2018. we also signed a second contract with netfile that will pick up support for the system at the end of 2018, when the 2013 contract expires. it will also allow us to

i think my experience there would be an asset to this commission.typically when developing policies, i leverage large data sets, and i'm familiar with us to make this vision. but that being said, there is this anecdotal part of it that typically isn't reflected in the data, and to the points heard previously, often times, the data maybe skewed, largely because people may not be reporting certain things, if we are looking at it in the case of the context of the police commission. leveraging large data systems is important and making policy decisions, but not the only factor. as a member of the commission, i would really like to work to strengthen ties between the community and police, and i believe that the san francisco police department, and the citizens of san francisco can work together to set the standard for effective policing and strong community relations throughout the nation. i think that -- obviously right now we are in a trying time between communities and those who police them, and, you know, when i was young i did not have such a negati

she is a lot to offer and has a strong voice at the commission. we reached out to her office a lot in be interesting in talking and continuing the discussions. >> host: you have reached out but she has not been so willing to schedule meetings. >> guest: the american people are that interested in how often desperate. >> host: my readers are. >> guest: at the end of the day we have seen an opportunity where we reach out and had great relationships with commissioner clyburn and met with her and talk to these issues and going forward i think we should continue to be open. not anyone office has monopoly on wisdom and can all benefit if we talk to each other and try to find common ground on these issues. >> host: once the commissioner leaves will you be able to meet with one commissioner? >> guest: the only legal prohibition is a three commissioners can't meet at the same time because i would be a quorum and a violation of our subtitles. any two commissioners can meet and any [inaudible] my understanding is there continues to be weekly meetings for the

, especially major commissions like the port commission. but i could say, and i said this when willie adams was first nominated to be on the port commission and i'm here to move that he continues and that you move this appointment forward. is that, i can't think of any better time that has to do with a commissioner who knows of an industry or knows the work that has to be done on a commission than willie adams. as mr. adams said, he has been to over 60 ports. he is a dock worker by trade. the secretary treasurer of his union. he served, you know, on issues, so far, with the commission, whether or not its infrastructure, development projects, outreach to the community. he is very much a leader in this sea wall process we are about ready to engage in and the engagement there is just extraordinary. there are most international unions are based on the east coast when it comes to either d.c. or where the majority of them are, or new york, the international long shore workers union is based here in san francisco and it has locals all the way from

you're going before the police commission. what would you hope the commissioners would -- and you're represented by your attorney. you're -- you're an officer, you're coming before for a disciplinary action or discussion -- i'm sorry, action. what kind of leadership traits would you be able to demonstrate -- excuse me. if you were -- if you were an officer and in this position, what would you be looking for? what would you be looking to hear come from the commission? types of questions, lines of questioning, thoughtfulness? >> i'm sorry. to understand, so if i'm the police officer and if i'm in front of the commission for disciplina disciplinary position, what do i want to say? >> supervisor cohen: yes. >> i want to see why i'm before them. i was them to give me a platform to explain to them, these are the actions that i took. these are the things that i did, these are the rules that i was bound by and sort of figure out -- and be open to that. and also as an officer, i'd have to explain to the person who was questioning me wh

commission was seeking was information which the alioto campaign had, correct? >> the information which the commission was seeking, the supporting documentation? >> yes. >> yes. >> it had nothing to do with netfile. they had it themselves. >> well, sir, a lot of the documentations -- so the netfile issue was documentation that they had, yes, that could be uploaded. but the thing was is the way it was conveyed on the spreadsheet was that there was an error, so, for example, proof of residency, right? so the alioto campaign had documentation that they uploaded that properly ticked all the boxes to establish san francisco proof of residency, and that's what prompted the call to ethics when the -- the woman who was repairing out the treasurer contacted amy lee of ethics and said, look, i submitted this stuff to you. >> it wasn't a question whether you submitted it. you were being asked to submit it now, not some earlier date. now, and why wasn't it submitted immediately? >> it was submitted. >> well, and then, according to the report by -- that's attached as exhibit

when this commission was founded, i was very involved in creating this commission. took 14, 15 years to get it passed on the ballot. this is the type of issue that this commission was created to address. there doesn't seem to be a need for this. there seems to be neighborhood servicing that are fulfilling the need to the community. and that's what the commission is trying to say. we don't need healthy spot to come in and disrupt or put out of business the businesses. so i ask you to oppose this conditional use. >> great. thank you. >> i'm the owner of cotton basics in noe valley and i'm very much opposed to chains coming into our neighborhood. i think they totally take away the unique character that we have and the neighborhood that even customers tell me that they really enjoy coming to an area where they can deal with a shop in a unique business and interact with owners and i think it's very important to keep chains out of our area and san francisco neighborhoods. thank you. >> great. thank you. >> hi. i'm mitchell burge, small business owner in san francisco. i'm

she is on the commission for building inspectors. she really does her job and i think she would be very good on the port commission. thank you. >> supervisor safai: thank you. next speaker. >> thomas mccarthy, i'm a retired carpenter, member of carpenter's local 22 and i served until my retirement on the labor council and building trades council for quite a while. speaking on behalf of gail gilman, she has always respected labor, trusted labor and that has been reciprocated by many, many people i have dealt with on the labor side. she will bring to the port commission the skills she has had for many years in helping people find common ground and work through complexities of what has to be done and of course the port could always use that. i strongly recommend you support her, thank you. >> supervisor safai: great, thank you. next speaker? >> good afternoon, my name is peter garza with carpenter's local 22. carpenters and i have worked with gail on numerous projects and issues through the years. because of her years of experience in d

this commission, i guess i will refrain from making any comment about this commission, but this commission has been working on some issues for a very long time, and in some ways, it's been tripping over itself, in my opinion. so, these are very specific to san francisco. this is not to minimize any of the work that you have done, as the supervisors have said, the work that you have done in san francisco in terms of working on police reform can be very informative, and in this position, you know, it could be very helpful to have fresh eyes, but how are you going to approach that specifically if you are selected to this commission? >> sure. as you stated, i think it's important to approach these issues with a lot of fresh eyes, and i have experience doing a lot of this type of work. i know what the challenges way for the city of oakland. and how we overcame those challenges, and what some of the successes were and i would like to see, you know, us, here in san francisco, do what worked. for example,, partnering with stanford, i think would be a good thing to do, particularly to address bias.

. >> good morning, president and commission and director mcspadden. i'm monte cimino with the office on the aging. i'm here to seek approval for the alzheimer's dementia care project and the purpose of this program is coming partially from findings and recommendations from the lgbt task force report issued in march of 2014. the services are provided in english, spanish and chinese. and through a three-tiered training module designed specifically for this contract, staff and volunteers from community-based organizations, hospitals and other professional organizations that provide services to lgbt seniors and adults with disabilities will be educated on current issues faced by these populations as well as gaining skills to ensure that their organizations are more safe, inclusive and welcoming to lgbt seniors and adults with disabilities. additionally at the end of the 2018-2019 fiscal year the alzheimer's group will have a meeting to evaluate the progress and to receive recommendations for continuing this particular contract. thank you, and i'm happy to

commission matters, item 8. consideration of adopt draft minutes for may 10, 2018. >> is there any public comment on these? seeing none we will move to close. >>> move to approve. >> second. >> thank you commissioners on that motion to adopt the minutes from may 10, 2018. [roll call] so moved, that pass unanimous 6-0. that moves us to item 9. >> commissioner koppel, we received a letter from the carpenter's regional coun cil, i am confused what was actually said in the letter but from our joint hearing i bought up issues about factory built housing and the fact it is built outside of san francisco and built to a less stringent code than san francisco and i questioned how we are able to approve these types of developments and if they are actually legally allowed to be installed here, so i am really confused what the letter was saying and how a certain party is trying to tell us we should be putting sub standard residential housing in san francisco, but just wanted to clarify that as of right now, i can't support

i was encouraged to apply to the police commission by former president of the san francisco police commission, julius turman. he emphasized to me that it was not only important to implement the remaining d.o.j. r recommendation but we also evaluate their effectiveness. as a commissioner i would like to enact the policies, requiring annual reports regarding the d.o.j. recommendations so we know the process that we have seen -- progress that we have seen with some of these recommendations and also i would like to see the reports published so that we know where challenges lie as to why certain recommendations are not getting implemented. secondly, i would like to do a better job collecting data and analyzing data and partnering with local academic partners. such as stanford, for example, to address issues like bias. san francisco is the technology capital of the country if not the world and i would like to see us work more effectively with the tech companies to collect data and make it more accessible to the public. in addition i would like to see that we are under general order on a regular bas

we commissioned a swells report in 2015. then subsequent to that, we commissioned a geotechnical report in 2017. we have hired shoring engineering who's come up with good, solid shoring plan that was submitted to the dbi for review and approval. and the geotechnical engineer has looked over the shoring plans and has given his independent evaluation of the shoring plan, the soundness report, which was also been submitted to dbi. i'll also just point out that we've been very patiently and with good faith working with the neighbors for the last 29 months and there really has been no progress. i personally have sent eight separate e-mails and letters, including through the attorneys and from my personal e-mail to miss efkthari, who's already conducted a settlement survey and marked both adjacent property on that they can monitor the settlement if there's any during the excavation of foundation work. we've hired arcon construction which was been in san francisco since 1999, has done multiple projects, including three stories and

and have you been active with this commission? have you interacted with this commission? have you attended meetings? have you seen how it has evolved over the course of time over the last few years? and then do you have experience working with the sfpd? so i've heard you talk about a few, but in terms of having been actively involved in this commission, and you talk a little bit about that? i know you were a public defender up until 2013. these last five years you've been working on the state level, but a lot of the stuff that's been under the microscope for this commission has happened in the last few years. what is your interaction been with this commission and/or the communities impacted by the policies that are effected -- affected by this commission in the last few years? >> that's a great question. as we spoke about when we met, you know, i've started to candidly, the first time i tracked the work of the commission, was when i was on the coalition of the board of directors and jennifer was sharing with us this new taser. at that time, it was at least, if not a new p

it was the subject of a planning commission hearing. and i do want to state, because i'm mildly annoyed by it, that were it not for an unsolicited e-mail communication from a city official who was actually defying what the planning commission, the oversight body appointed four members by the mayor and three members by the president of the board of supervisors, acted upon last thursday, had that e-mail not gone out on friday, they would not be here. but i am certain that their lobbyists and consultants knew this legislation is pending. so this is a mildly manufactured thing and i had to get that off my chest because the individual who did that knows i'm less than pleased about it. >> supervisor safai: so back to my question, through the chair, it was about the feasibility. and i appreciate that, supervisor, i'm not trying to mine myself that. what i want to -- minimize that. can we put into the legislation that we have a process for the review? >> supervisor peskin: we do. you can see mr. sanchez is nodding his head. we have that, we are

hopefully the commission will consider helping the candidate and the committee to help. we have salaries. we have all sorts of debt because we were dependent on this knowing that these were these people's homes and it would be really wonderful if we were given one day to show that indeed those 11 names are where those people live. >> i have heard two afternoons campaign rhetoric, 80% of it, and 20% of it is fact. you told us you have 11 donors whose proof of residency can be establish and that will meet the dollar requirement, correct? >>speaker: correct. >> can you do that in a couple hours tomorrow? >>speaker: yes. >> so if we adopted resolution of that that gave you until noon tomorrow, would that give you that time? >>speaker: yes. >> that is the end of the case unless somebody just wants to be on television and that is what i'm going to move. >> speaker 1: i would remind you as you noted at the top of this meeting of our session that the determination of the executive director of the eligibility of the campaign to receive public financing was final and at least in m

we helped coordinate some of those with the police commission.at the time, the public for meriformersafety director in ths office, and as well as my former executive director, who is now are the human rights commission. [please standby for captioner switch] >> we need to continue how to look further to expand partnerships and relationships with communities that have been historically misrepresented and underrepresented. we need to look at how we can expand relations with youth, especially black and brown youth. we need to look into how the commission itself can engage the community as well and i say that because i think it's important for the community to have a lens in the decision making process that the commission has been undertaking, rather it be with use of force, tasers or whether it be with how the community can improve relations. it's important that the community feels a part of that. of course i have attended past meetings, being someone who has worked with the police commission and the police department to get community voice. i can't

through serving on the commission. real estate, we've got mike martin, rebecca benecini who's been a wonderful addition to the staff. mike, you felt like you were part of the staff for so many years, even when you were over in city hall. finance, i remember when commissioner woo ho had one of these "aaudacious goals of reaching $100 million in revenue. that was under the guidance of our executive director elaine forbes. megan wallace who's just been stellar. tom carter, i don't know if you're here, but with maintenance, we don't always recognize what goes into ensuring all the upkeep is so solid here, and tom carter has done such an amazing job of overseeing all of that. and then we have manny pacheco who's not here today, but he makes this port really run. we say it, and he just makes it happen. always had a smile on his face, too, every time we saw him. then, we have the executive staff, and actually, i think i go back further with byron rhett than anybody here. the very first governmental role i had was serving with

it was after a commission meeting. there was a very serious car accident at park presidio and crossover drive, where there was three victims that needed to be extricated. there was one that went on for nearly two hours. and easily, the driver of the vehicle could have died. we personally witnessed the great care that every member extended. but we acknowledged the rescue captain because she ran the medical portion and really was at the patient's side the entire time. and as i said today, it was so serious that because we were having a difficult time extricating him, there was a consideration we do a field amputation with the surgical team coming from s.f. general. he has made a full recovery. both his legs are functions. it was appropriate that she be acknowledged today. and then we look forward to on friday capping off ems week with having a lunch. all of you are invited out at station 49 for all the members at station 49. anybody from the department really can come. we do have food coming later for the crews coming on

years is finally chairing a commission meeting. after all your good work. just one minor item on the draft minutes. i did not look at them in great detail, but did notice item one, the commission on the environment meeting should insert word at 2:03 p.m., but that leapt out at me. >> commissioner wald: all those in favor of i proving the minutes -- approving the minutes, please say aye. any opposed? the motion passes. the next item, please. >> the next item 4, general public comment, members of the public may address the commission on matters that are within the commission's jurisdiction and are not on the agenda. >> commissioner wald: would anyone like to make a comment about a topic that is not on the agenda? >> david again, not staying for the whole meeting, market street workshop at hastings i was planning to attend, but i did want to note at least one major staff transition actually, one, but it's really two, and i'm sure director raphael will discuss this later in her report. i understand the effected primary person was not a

commission commission commissioner koppel? >> commissioner koppel: yeah. motion to continue items as proposed to the dates specified. >> clerk: thank you. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: and places us onto your consent calendar. the matter listed here under constitutes the consent calendar is considered to be routine by the planning commission and may be acted upon by a single roll call vote of the commission, there will be no separate discussion of this item unless a member of the commission, the public or the staff so requests in which event the matter should be removed from the consent calendar as a separate item at this or a future hearing. [agenda item read]. >> clerk: i have no speaker cards. >> president hillis: all right. anybody would like to speak on that item on the consent calendar? seeing none, motion to approve? >> move. >> second. >> clerk: thank you. on that motion -- [roll call] >> clerk: so moved, commissioners. that motion passes unanimously 4-0 and places under on agenda item 8, consideration of adoption of draft minutes for apr

on this commission, president loftus, president sparks. i've served in the department of justice with judge ryan, robert mueller. i served in the d.a.'s office with kamala harris, and you're there in my life as people who have defined who we are and who the city is. i have to tell you from the day i first met you, i found you to be honest. the first day you meet someone, you go he's okay, or no he's a blankety-blank. you know, in a city that believes in a lot of identity politics, you are a michigan wolfe wolferine, a former u.s. assistant attorney out of michigan, a managing partner of a law firm. you are a family man, your whole family comes out to celebrate with you. you're a great person, and a great police commissioner. you're really going to be missed. you're a great commissioner, and on behalf of the commission, i'm going to miss you, buddy. i think former commission president loftus has a few words she'd like to add. >> commissioners, good evening. i don't think this is the public comment section of the agenda, otherwise this would

and the frustration, i think, that we see on this commission -- that the commission feels is that after we do all the outreach and the work with cmd to figure out how the work can get distributed to maximize lbe participation, get the word out to businesses that we're interested in seeing, minority and diverse contracts, once we put the bid specs out, it's the lowest responsible bidder that wins, and the lbe program is neutral to race and gender. so while cmd specified what the make up is, and president brandon is right, there are a lot of mbe's in this arena, we come to you with the lowest responsible bidder and recommend that award, and there's nothing else that we will do at that point. but we will continue to think about what we can do differently and how we can see this area grow and do better, but we are bound by that city contracting regime. >> i understand that, but when did this item come as an informal presentation to the commissi commission. >> did we miss a step? >> we did not miss a step. >> when did it come? do you remember? >> so we got authorization through the budget, a

commission. for both applicants, the commission has been provided a staff report, a draft resolution, the application, a case report from planning department staff, and a resolution from the historic preservation commission. there are copies on the table for the public. item 3-a is marine chartering company incorporated. the business is a worldwide transportation brokerage firm and ocean transportation company. marine chartering was founded in 1955 by george kisskadon, a long time salor with experience in all aspects of marine operations, chartering, and brokering. the company pioneered the brokerage of ships and cargoes from the pacific coast and rapidly expanded into all aspects of ocean transportation, including logistics operations from origin to destination. marine chartering is one of the few privately owned and independent shipping companies that has made the conscientious effort to remain in san francisco. as the oldest shipping company in the city, marine chartering is an opinion compone
