i served five years in the bayview. i'm always proud to say i'm a pore tero bayview guy.what you did embodies and exemplifies everything that we want in our officers. just keep up the great work, keep up a positive attitude and look for it -- i look forward to following your career long after mine is completed. so keep up the good work, guys. thank you. >> thank you. >> president mazzucco: thanks very much, officers. like i said when somebody asked me about what you were doing that night, you were doing the lord's work. thank you very much and god >> [applause.] >> president mazzucco: i have to ask for public comment. any public comment regarding these matters? hearing none, public comment is now closed. thank you very much. please call line item 2, the content calendar. >> receive and file action, police commission report of disciplinary actions fourth quarter, 2012. >> president mazzucco: commissioners, you have in your packet the report regarding disciplinary actions for the fourth quarter of 2012. the good news is, commissioners, the number of our cases are down signi

that's bayview, that's potrero hill, visitacion valley, it's a little hollywood, it's dogpatch. it used to be the portola, half of it. my heart is still with you, but i'm glad like the speaker said, it is whole. and that is what's important, is that that neighborhood remains whole so that our city will be whole. you agree? [cheering and applauding] cheers >> so, a few years back there was this little idea to take back the bayview and really began to rewrite the history and the narrative that we often hear about in bayview. and it actually started, ironically, with a small little abandoned swath of land that has grown up to become the cuseda garden. and it's the thought child and the physical manifestation of hard work, of a few community leaders that got together and rolled up their sleeves and got to work. and tonight i have the honor to introduce one of the co-founders, his name is jeffery betcher. where are you? get up here. and jeff is going to introduce to you as he escorts ms. annette young smith to the stage. this lady, ladies and gentlemen, is a lifetime achievement awar

sam jordan has left the best legacy in the bayview. thank you very much. >> next speaker. >> good evening, supervisors and san francisco, my name is ace and i'm here for other business but i just happened to see sam jordan's name here for the histostorial land mark in the valley. i had the honor and luxury of working there employing my company some years ago that i was able to employ people that were there for security. that is a known spot for our security, the african american, black, negro, however you want to call us, been there for a number of years. there should be more people here, saying more things for the historical situation, i'm here to add my thoughts for this historical spot in san francisco. we need more spots like this. i'm here to support this becoming a historical spot in the southeast of san francisco. >> my name is randell evans and i'm a long time resident of san francisco and i also too support this without a doubt. i just want to bring it to everyone's attention that people forget real easy that san francisco is

northern is next in order and we heard concern about the bayview. i don't know when we were last in bayview. >> commissioner chan: i keep bringing that up but i don't want to upset the cap apple car. we can talk about db anywhere but that incident particular -- >> president mazzucco: we have some time. we'll talk to inspector monroe and figure out what's next in line and work it at our next meeting and come up with a more firm protocol for the next three meetings. >> okay. >> president mazzucco: anything else? commissioner dejesus? you're off. ladies and gentlemen, it's time for public comment regarding line items 4(a), b, c, d. hearing none, public comment is now closed. please call item 5. come forward. >> commissioners, if i might interrupt for a second. just to let the public know next wednesday on the 16th we will not be having a meeting and will be back in city hall on the 23rd. >> president mazzucco: sorry about that. i department see you get up. >> good evening. i know that we're not supposed to ask question within this format but i wonder i

my day job is we're building a center in bayview to address the impact of adverse childhood experience and exposure to violence and trauma on children. obviously this type of trauma is in a league of its own. but one of the experts we work with is dr. victor care 81 from stanford and he shared with me and i shared with my daughter's school so i want to share with everyone, a lot of us are hearing recommendations on the today show but we benefit from the bayview area with having access to these experts. i want to share these recommendations on children exposed to violence. the first is that we should reduce exposure, children need protection from the media, which is pretty intuitive but a good reminder for me. talking about the event should not be clear but lines of discourse should be open. provide a message of safety and i think that's what we're talking about here, especially the police department represents that. let children know we're here to protect them and it's our responsibility to keep them safe and finally, i think this was president mazzucco's question, seek help when neede

we have folks in bayview only talking with and a small corner of the bayview merchant quarter. we don't have people talking to the potrero hill association. all of these different fragmented conversations are happening. there largely talking about the same thing, crime, keeping streets clean, businesses, supporting small businesses, maintaining and making sure the city is livable for everyone. no one really looked to their neighbors. they stayed within their neighborhood, but did not reach beyond the boundaries. that is one thing i saw that i actually made a concerted effort on the campaign to build bridges. for me, that goes beyond the neighborhood. it goes to connecting the southeast to the large part of san francisco, wake up, we're out here. we want bike paths, dog parks, open space. we no longer want to have a neighborhood or a reputation of a crime-filled community. the other thing that i learned is really, we are all human. how to connect with that spirit, whether you're living in public housing, owning your own property, your asian, african american, we are all one. we

. >> my name is robert davis, i live in the bayview, 92124. i am here for 3 things.he first thing is to show you a petition that some of my neighbors and i put together for lieutenant robert oh sullivan to be promoted as the permanent captain at the bayview station. we got a hundred signatures very quickly. >> (inaudible) on that? >> mr. davis and i discussed that that has happened. >> granted. thank you, chief, and thank you, mr. davis. >> the second thing that now captain o sullivan is the permanent captain at the station, we'd like him to stay for a while. i know with paramilitary organizations it's up and out but we think that would be counter productive in this case, he's been there two years, we work very well with him and we'd like him to stay. if that's possible we'd like that to happen. the third thing i'd like to mention is some calls for service data that i got from the turk street department of what are they called, you know, the custodian of records. first little packet here is about what we call mendell plaza, that would be between oakdail and palou and

i know the families and the communities in the bayview. i know the church leaders in the bayview and in the southeast sector of the city. i know that we need to close the achievement gap of the targeted population, which is the african-american, the latinos, the polynesians, and our chinese-american children, because we are having all of these problems at our school sites our chinese-american children have come to me and told me that they will not do well in the c s.a.t. and they are struggling and that should not be. thank you for allowing me this time president yee, thank you. >> thank you. advisory committee reports, appointments by board members? seeing none, item l. special order of business. i now call the public hearing and approval of the state testing apportionment waiver. is there a motion and second? >> i move. >> second. >> reading of recommendation by commissioner designee. mr. burke? >> superintendent, commissioners, my name is john burke, i'm the supervisor for the assessments office. requested action that the board of super

i know that both myself, commissioner loftus attended the initial press conference of bayview station honoring these officers for what they did on the evening of december 12, 2012. we hear a lot of bad things happening in this world but in that press conference there wasn't a dry eye in the house. these two fine young officers, and they are san francisco's finest, received a call early in the morning of december 12, 2012, that there was a woman in the middle of the street, in one of the worst intersections in bayview point, bleeding. they arrived at the scene, not the woman, walked up to them and handed them a sweatshirt and in that sweatshirt was a five pound baby. that baby was not breathing. he was blue. officer grich, who is a former paramedic from smoam and officer cloud, his partner, were out in pouring rain. they called for an ambulance and there were none nearby. they spoke with dispatch and the the closest ambulance was already at san francisco general hospital. at this press conference, one of the officers said they weren't rainy night in bayview hunters point. officer grits

we don't have gangs in bayview hunters point. i want you to understand this very closely. we have turf. what turf means is that within a circle in the areas up in bayview hunters point, these young people cannot go beyond four blocks of where they live or they will be killed, shot, or beat upon. we've had programs that were taken upbringing our children from up on the hill down to the college for them to be educated. they want to be educated. we worked out some of the plans for -- because i met with the college trustees and i will be meeting with them again on thursday. there are a lot of promises have been made to the trustees about what puc would do, but nothing has been done. and what i'm here is to talk about -- to see that things get started because school starts next monday. and i've asked one of the trustees to come and speak with you also on public comment. and the other concern that i have, great concern, is that the college itself. the college had 33,000 square feet of space when they opened up in 1986. now, because of some politicking and playing went on, they a

area, they passed it on anyway as they have always done with those of us who live and breathe in bayview hunter's point. i would like to say there was an eir done, it was done by the health department and i disagree with what they presented to the staff here because of the fact when the eir was done, it was not done on the sight of 5433rd street, it was done a block away. i had three deaths in my family within the last two weeks from cancer, a young lady, 30 years of age died from asthma, as you know in my community, it's the worst in the city, in the united states of my people dying, the community have changed and i don't know what happened. i used to be able to receive -- when you have in your meetings, agendas, i'm still alive, in fact, i would like to say this, i wish that you bring this back to the floor dealing with the discretionary review, you're going to have other people talking about what's happening. my daughter sent you all an invitation next week, next saturday, february 9th, i will be 80 years of age and we will be celebrating, but i ask if any of you have sent a reply, sh
