we did issue a citation. the reason that we jump straight to a citation was because it was correspondence with the owner on possible occasions that was assuring me they were not having entertainment, when in fact, they have been. so i'm working with them to bring them into compliance, and hope that they will apply for a permit. they are zoned for a p.o.e. and an l.l.p. i'm happy to answer any questions that you may have. >> i'm curious for halcion, did they provide an explanation for why they were over their limit? i know that at one point we had a condition to say that there should be a limit on it and we were assured that they could, with their human powers and other machines, control that, i'm curious what the response was. >> the response was actually to tell the d.j. to turn it down. that is what the manager told our inspector to do, so our inspector stated that that is not his job to do, but rather to work with the management team to bring them into compliance. there wasn't really an expo nation as to w

those citations do the district attorney prosecute, and how many of those citations you gave got their equipment back. and i think offline that you told me that you don't have that data. we don't -- if you -- can you tell me how, on a monthly basis, how many citations have you given to the homeless, how many citations the district attorney actually prosecuted, and how many of those people who have their tents bagged and tagged actually got their belongings back. >> so you have my word that we'll go back and do our homework and supply you with any information that you need, any data that you need that we have. thankful for the controller's office who's helping us keep on track. the one example that i gave about the 73 citations from september to may, the district attorney charged 47 of those cases. it was kind of a pretty high number, comparing the amount of citations we issued. i will also say that in a case where we seize a tent as evidence, when the case is dismissed, the individual has the right to come back and pick up their tent, but for some reason, we're not seeing them come out

absent that, it is either citation come or no citation. just to be clear, we are following the ninth circuit court court of appeals case where we are making sure that there is a shelter for individual who wants it, prior to enforcement. if a person is in an encampment, they will ask if they want shelter, we don't issue a citation. we connect them with the navigation center. we try to play with them to go to navigation. we have a bed waiting for them. a in that case, we have the ability to issue that citation. that is when we do that. that has been a last resort if you look at our statistics, as of late. i would like to turn it over to the department of public works, sam peeples, to continue the conversation. >> good evening. i am sam peeples with public works. liaison to hsoc. tonight i will be covering the tent encampments, going over that's on the quarterly .1 time. the point in time we do regularly every three months or every quarter, and then i will cover the demographics as far as the police district stations what is going on in each

citations are down. courts are no longer issuing warrants for unpaid citations. folk on the streets are not feeling a big gain. for them an hsoc policy is alone and unsheltered. >> all right. i have been waiting awhile. i want to say this. i am a formerly homeless individual. i am one that has experienced life on the streets. believe me the last thing i ever wanted to hear when i was in crisis was get up and move along. i am sick and tired of hearing about the sweeps. i heard about the sweep. what is going on here? i want this to stop. i want things to be led with services. now, when i was on the streets, i was assaulted, victim of a hate crime. someone punched me so hard i almost lost an eye. i didn't go to the police because i felt i would be criminalized. it is real for so many people. it is time to cut the police funding. 23% of our funding goes to policing jails, that bullshit, only 3% goes to homelessness. we have to shift priorities here and just stop the bullshit and get people housed, lead with services. we need navigation centers, we need supportive hou

the next step in the enforcement escalation would be a citation or sound.'s a lot in here and i'm happy to answer any questions, but those are the highlights that stick out. >> question, when the 311 complaints come in, do you guys respond the next day? you get the 311 complaints, or does it come live? >> it comes live. when they are in the field on friday and saturday nights, they are receiving them in realtime and responding in realtime. in the events where they happen where there's nobody in the field, we respond to them the next time someone is in the field or we follow up in the office with a call or an e-mail. >> have any inspectors gone there and there's music playing and they don't have a permit and they actually shut them down and say you have to turn it off? >> where are you referring to. >> any time. if there's a 311 call where the inspector found they had no permit. >> the process that the inspectors have been following as we received lots of 311 complaints for sound, and if we determine it is an unpermitted venue, then they go in and explain th

a bart spokesperson did tell us the citations for panhandling is low because in order to make a citationthe panhandling has to be clearly aggressive. also a witness needs to be there to give a statement, something that most people really just don't stick around to do. >> it might be the last time we see this, that controversial mural. big crowds turned out today in san francisco to view the life of washington mural at george washington high school. it could soon be painted over. that mural was created in the 1930s, but in recent years as we have been reporting, many people have condemned it as racist. ultimately leading to the decision to cover it. that's because the mural includes images of african-american slaves and a dead native american. but many at today's viewing say it should be preserved as an accurate representation of the ugly truth about our history. >> it is significant, historical documentation of what george washington was all about. the good, the bad and the ugly. >> we can no longer tolerate all the vestiges of racism. it's a new day. >> the board of education voted to s

last year, there were 958 calls with just three citations. and back here live, a bart spokesperson tells us the number of citations was low. it may have to be aggressive or the panhandler has to be seen accosting someone and a witness has to be there to give a statement to police and a lot of times, that just doesn't happen. reporting live in ali wolf, nbc bay area news. >>> still to come here at 4:more than a half a billion to paint over this mural. the controversy began at a san francisco high school and the rare opportunity given to the public today. >> $50 billion worth of f bay area homes at risk. the new report showing which neighborhoods are prone to rising sea levels. >> i'm jeff ranieri. a very comfortable 79 in walnut creek right now. we'll show you why it gets hotter this weekend and how much the temperatures are going to increase. its the local mural -- generating a national dialogue. the mural at washington high school in san frnaicso -- is >>> it's the local mural that's generate ago lot of national dialogue. the mural at washin

citations ending in january '18 were 5,038 citations issued for over $708,000.we now have over 200 buses on 24 street, up from 160 buses last report. so my question is in the preliminary plan of 2050 that's being prepared by the m.t.c., there's no solution for removing these buses off of 24 street or from the city as a whole. so i think we're just getting inundated with these inner city buses over our neighborhood. thank you very much. >> supervisor mandelman: thank you. next speaker. >> vice chair mandelman, i love a public meeting. i can't seem to get enough of them. i hope to be back with you all again, and i feel that this agency should have a regional perspective on things. i don't want us to be us versus them because we are all san francisco. even though i do not sleep in san francisco, i'm here with you now. i am san francisco today, and i look forward to being san francisco tomorrow. and so i come to you as a passionate and unapologetic user of diverse means of mobility. i ride muni. i think it's important that we focus on traffic enforcement for both ve

and from those pictures of the citation coming to rest, the engines were still spinning. ten very lucky people who were onboard that jet. >> no question about that. david kerley leading us off. thank you. >>> we are also watching the severe storms hitting the northeast as we come on the air tonight. the thunderstorm watches from d.c. to philly, new york city up through boston. wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour. look at this. drivers near portland, maine, coping with heavy rain. and cell phone video show as tree coming down on top of a moving car in indiana. tonight, we've been told the driver has been treated for minor injuries. chief meteorologist ginger zee tracking it all as we go into the night. hey, ginger. >> reporter: hi, david. we just watched a severe thunderstorm blast through midtown manhattan, just south of us here. it has now moved to the east, as so many of those storms are. we've had up to 63-mile-per-hour winds at college park, maryland, already reported. but from annapolis up to, say, kk kshgs, you're seeing severe thunderstorm warnings on the map ev a t

we have heard the citation of 647e mentioned. that is important. that is used to threaten people taking the tents away and taking it as evidence. when i was doing evidence in 2014 and 2015 this was not regularly used at all. this is something we are hearing on the streets and now in data and the prosecutor is not progresses cuting the cases because the threat carries a lot. we have heard, though, that they are using 647e. we have heard as david lazar mentioned in the march hearing they would take tents from people not cooperating with their orders to move. we know there are more officers now dedicated towards homelessness. more dpw workers doing the cleanings which result in the tents being thrown away. what documentation do we have when the tents are taken away. many people are in the hospital getting food. you try to protect the tent of another person. if that is not your tent, we are going to take it. we have documentation of tents thrown away and the contents in them. are they throwing away people's property or garbage in so those are some of t

the number of citations issued one o signs advocates blame for the rising number of pedestrian deaths. >> this is incredibly frustrating. we're doing everything possible in our city. it needs to be doing everything possible to keep people safe. >> sfpd says their issuing as many citations as they can but admit staffing in their traffic unit is down by half. just yesterday mayor london breed proposed a new package of projects aimed at reducing crashes and improving pedestrian safety. >>> it's the uninvited guest that seems to show up at picnics, barbecues, pool parties. we're talking about yellow jackets. in contra costa county the pests have reached epic levels this summer. in fact, the problem is so bad vector control crews are now issuing a warning about it. live in lafayette with a look at the problem and that warning, scott? >> reporter: experts tell us it's likely a change in the weather that's led to more yellow jackets flying around, and those who track them have been kept extra busy. suiting up and tracking down yellow jacket nests. it's what contra costa county vector control

yes, i have asked the chief to increase citations, and to be aware in this high injury corridors, the need to make sure that there are consequences for people who are speeding, which sadly can cause tragedy. if a pedestrian is hit by a driver at 20 miles per hour, their risk of fatality is 5%, but if that is 30 miles per hour , their risk jumps to 45%. what we don't want to continue is sadly what we see happening on our streets where we are losing far too many lives, and our most precious assets are our children, so we want to make sure that when they are moving around san francisco, going back to school, that they are safe. when i was a kid, i went to school across the street from where i lived. it used to be called -- but the name is now rosa parks elementary school. what was so cool about that is we would all just walk to school someone would walk up to my window, yell my name, there would already be three or four kids. we would get to the corner on eddie and buchanan, and then there was a crossing guard right there to make sure that all cars stopped so we could safely get across t

. >> reporter: the cessna citation bursting into flames moments after an aborted takeoff running off the end of a runway at oroville airport in california. >> one plane fully involved off the runway approximately a half acre of grass burning. >> the nose and the tail were all intact. everything but the center section was just starting to burn. >> reporter: all ten people on board escaping uninjured with only a shell of the two-engine jet remaining after the fire was extinguished. >> i'm amazed that somebody got out of that alive. it was fully engulfed in flames and pure black smoke but a jet is the amazing thing around here. >> reporter: investigators say the trouble started almost immediately taking off on a flight for portland, oregon, when the pilot decided to abort unable to stop in time. the reasoning behind the pilot's decision is still unclear. >> i mean obviously the pilot, i was next to him for a little bit. he was pretty shook up. >> reporter: just last week another cessna citation crashed off a runway, that jet that owned by dale earnhardt jr. bursting into flames after cr
