that way the diversity in our big city police department matches the diversity of the community itself and we allow those funds to be used by recruiters. see, i believe there are things we can do that make a practical difference, but i also firmly believe that racism is not a legislative issue, it's a heart issue and a family issue. one of the biggest things we can do with these issues with the bully pulpit that we have pushing back on individuals and doing quite frankly whatever you can to do this. what i started five years ago was asking people, has your family ever invited a family of another race into your home for dinner? just a simple question. i've been mazed at the number of people i've talked to in my state of all races when i asked them has your family ever invited a family of another race into your home for dinner, they respond back to me, i have friends of another race, to which i always smile at them and say that's not what i asked. not do you have friends of another race. has your family ever invited the family of another race to your home for a meal? just for your kids t

i think that the results on our city streets demonstrate the consequences of that. fourth, there are no baseline standard systems or metrics in place for keeping the city clean. and the head of the department as we have seen before can decide on their own what to do and where and when for trash to be picked up and street cleaning to happen. and this approach has failed us entirely. we need a clear set of baseline and a body to hold our city accountable to make sure that they are provided for. and i think that during covid-19 this need for addressing these issues has only been highlighted further. coronavirus we know can be present in human feces, and the virus can be spread by coming into contaminated surfaces. the need for these type of effective cleaning are only heightened during a time of a pandemic. so the conclusion that we have come to is that we need to undertake a broader restructuring of the city's role in streets and sidewalk maintenance and sanitation to ensure that our city has a clear focused and an organized approach to keeping our streets safe and san

there are some really inspiring big decisions that city leaders can be making right now. >> is there equity lines we could be looking at this through, as people move through to perhaps smaller cities or other places across the country? what opportunities arise within the city? >> absolutely, i think as some percentage of workers choose to leave the bay area, choose to work remotely or may have lost their jobs and therefore choose to leave leave the bay area, that may actually be pretty good for u.s. cities because right now, superstar cities like separate cisco have the disproportionate share of tech and knowledge workers and if those jobs are distributed across more cities, that could not only help second and third tier cities across the country but that could also leave room for more people who want to and need to live in the bay area. mcmullen, what institutional changes need to be put into the works right now during this window of potential opportunity in order for there to be a better city tomorrow? >> we need to be able to make some really big decisions that we have been draggi

we agree with the city that must be provided. but the city has not yet funded those expenses on contracts and the gap is crushing our non-profits. and we call on the board and the mayor to fully fund supportive housing and homeless emergency services, especially in a time when the necessity to serve our city is mostly based in need. and to sharply and painfully in view. thank you for holding this hearing and your time and support. >> clerk: hello caller. >> caller: good afternoon supervisors. hello, good afternoon supervisors. i am mary kate the policy director at (indiscernible) and a 30 member agency who are part of our homelessness responsiveness. and thank you chair fewer and supervisors for being present and for being supportive during this hearing today. and (indiscernible) and such a compelling way. and so i want to urge a holistic approach to sustainability that puttings people first. financial unsustainability in our sector has profound and direct impacts on our communities and our families. including e

city camps that around by the -- summer camps run by the city will begin opening within the next week and, yeah, we're getting back to normal. by the way, our percentage of positives has been trending down, were down around 3%, that's been consistent. you can be pro jobs, pro economy and do it in safe, responsible way with covid-19. >> yeah, have you open your beaches in your city to? beaches open in your city or state? >> i'm sorry for laughing, we open our beaches, i don't know, about four weeks ago and got kind of national media saying the death march was coming to jacksonville, that we were a bunch of morons. look, i work with the data, open space, people can social distance, they can exercise, this was in the peak of it, this was in the middle of it all. people got out and behaved responsibly and our beaches didn't create any negative health response. >> all these response, all this progress and never once did you make any type of public announcement encouraging people to snitch on their neighbors, is that right? >> that is correct. in fact, we're continuing -- i've said yesterda

so i'm not sure where he is at with that here in the city of tampa. we worked very closely with our union to ensure that the thousand member tampa police department has the best law enforcement officers that we possibly can, and to weed out those few individuals that make their way into the force. >> you know this as a former chief in such personal and emotional term, but this is a very different moment, that that city is experiencing and, quite frankly, the country is experiencing. you have seen very big protests in tampa as well. for a chief to really take this on his shoulders, he says specifically, and it caught my ear when he said, i must do it, meaning reforms. i must do it right. what is the impact of that? >> well, i can tell you that the stars he's wearing right now are incredibly heavy, and i commend him for taking the responsibility, and also ensuring that they'll move forward in a very transparent way. and one of the things about law enforcement, a lot of people aren't aware, it's judged as a whole nationwide. other professions someone can

cities. what's that organization's mission? >> well, certainly, the mission of the national league of cities is truly to be the arm for local leaders to be able to understand but also navigate through many of the issues that most of us don't get an education on, because you don't go to school n to beal an elected official, yo know. so, certainly, the help of the national league of cities and all of the great opportunities s that they have to share with thi many, many resources, to be able to navigate through many complex issues that drive but also can impact our cities from day to day. it gives you insight as to how to have conversations with youra federal ntleaders, your state leaders, but also, most t importantly, your constituents b as erwell.i so, certainly, i have been a benefactor of the national league of cities for a number oa years. first gottcity c elected in 200 city council member and became h the mayor in 2013. to and certainly, it has been a ecd phenomenal opportunity for me.oe but also, i am blessed to certainly w

and who still live in that city. we have seen unrest in your city and many around the country, and we're watching it happen in atlanta and washington, d.c. right now. i said moments ago, the images that we're seeing on television, i don't believe have been seen since the civil rights movement, 1968. this is a real turning point in our country. we know that dr. martin luther king jr. said that a riot is a language of the unheard. i believe that the people who are out here, not necessarily the rioters but the protesters who are yelling at the top of their lungs, they want to be heard. i'm not sure if this president is capable of that. but that is the type of leadership we need in this country right now. can you please speak to that? >> you're absolutely right, don. i know it sounds very strange for me to sit here as mayor of atlanta and call upon someone's wife or children to attempt to reason with him. but that tells you where we are right now in america. we're all searching for solutions. we're all looking to stop the

would be dismantled today and that the city would be bringing in crews and heavy equipment to haul awaye of the barricades that are blocking the streets. the mayor's office hasn't confirmed anything, and nothing has happened yet, but these barricades were not part of the bargain the city struck with the occupiers to establish the c.h.o.p. footprint. and over the past few days, they have slowly expanded the agreed-upon area using trucks and chains to move the blocks around, even cut the rebar handles making it difficult for the city to pick them up, and there's no way for emergency vehicles to go through. the new rumor is that the city will try again tomorrow. the first attempt met with resistance on friday, was finally called off after one of the protesters pulled a gun on a city worker. police officers were nearby to provide security, but their hands have been tied by the city council and a court order prohibiting them from using tear gas, flash-bangs or rubber-tipped bullets, so there are questions about how much security they can provide. the police chief says their only options are

guest: the national league of cities, have what is called a campaign. a simple, that is approach called cities are essential. certainly, the federal government has come out with the cares act, certainly has started dispersing direct funding to a number of cities and states, and even counties. if you are not a city that has a population more, you got nothing. certainly, we have been out of the equation and that l availabe to us. it is unlikely to ever be available. one of the things we are doing, we are pushing that the federal the coronavirus relief funds for all minister polities to be able to address the issues that we are all impacted by because this is not just a big-city issue. this is an every city issue. certainly i applaud those 36 cities because there are only 36 cities in that criteria. doesstates, apparently, not mean anything to our federal leaders. i hate to say that, but that is what it appears to be. they getake sure that an understanding that their hometowns and those people basic support as we elect them, they have really given them a slap in the face

saying that all these big cities have minority police officers. so it doesn't exist, but to answer your question directly, poor people, minority people will be heard if you defund the police. is ridiculous. >> to follow up on that point from 1992 to 2002 for ten years, l.a. had back-to-back black police chiefs. you look at the l.a.p.d., 30% white, 9% black, the rest of it as asian-pacific islander and still come with a torch police cars the other day. i'm not quite sure what they want and that's the goal really is to not prosecute black criminals. >> go, larry, go. >> a warehouse that they believe apparently they ought not to be prosecuted. even though the likelihood is they were injuring another black person. >> sean: all the states and all these cities. they get arrested, no bail, right back out on the streets to join more of the chaos. thank you both. amazing. got to protect our american family. you don't do that, that is the first line of defense. ask yourself, who are you going to call? what are you going to do? what is going to happen? house

what are rates that some nearer-sized cities are getting charged? hat are our neighborhood counties getting? i understand that other cities want to piggyback onto us, but i would love to hear what kind of rates they're getting from other people, like, for example, in the city of oakland, alameda county, for example, what kind of credit card rates are they getting? so i believe, supervisor mandelman, does that answer your question? is that more clarification, and also, he has that clarified, and also, miss shaw, we'll come back to you after item number 2, so madam clerk, can you please call item number 2 now? >> clerk: yes. item 2, emergency ordinance to delegate board of supervisors approval authority under charter to city departments to amend certain existing agreements to comply with recommendations and requirements for potential reimbursement of funds from the federal emergency management agency or the california governor's office of emergency services for expenditures in response to the public health emergency related to covid-19. members of the

in particularly for cities, i think that that's where the answer lies. right now new york city, we're in the midst of a somewhat bungled restart of the subway system, and i'm very anxious about the lack of manufacturing capacity for e-bikes, both locally and in the united states, all the reply chains for those thing -- supply chains for the things start, depending on your point of view in china. i'm trying to get people to think about what do we really need to do and how fast can we beef up e-bike manufacturing in the u.s. and particularly at the new york city area, because by the time september rolls around the city is back on its feet, we could have hundreds of thousands of people if not millions of people trying to get access to tens of thousands of e-bikes to move great distances over the city is beau because they don't want to be on the subway system, and the alternatives they'll have if that isn't in place are not good, for the environment or for people's ability to earn or for congestion management: i think in short term we need to be looking for f

the system that the city was using at that time was largely paper. as i recall, we're talking in the hundreds in each of those recessions. actually a lot of the negotiations and discussion with labor was basically larger wage concessions, in exchange for basically buying back layoffs, in particularly the dot com bust. that was very much the -- kind of the discussion. >> supervisor fewer: yeah. keeping jobs. keeping people in the jobs, first priority. and then later in the great recession. yeah. okay. got it. any more questions or comments at all from my colleagues? let's open this up for public comment. madam clerk, can you please call for public comment on item number 1. >> clerk: yes, madam chair. operation is checking to see if there are any callers in the queue. operations, please let us know if any callers are ready. if you have not done so, please press star 3 to be added to the queue. if you're on hold, please wait until the system indicates you have been unmuted. please let us know if there are any callers who wish to speak on the item. >> ye

city council. if we think that the fact that my father was a police officer or that i was a part of the city council, well, then -- would change it, isn't that a problem in and of itself? margaret: you talked about not confusing peace with education. can you tell us what that is? mayor carter: when we talk about peace, we talk about peacefully demonstrating. i think it can start to sound like we mean don't do anything. it can sound to mean take a seat or everybody just go back home or maybe i've got it, don't worry about it, i'll come and tell you later what we did. theus not our call at all. i'm not asking for people to be impatient. i'm i'll not asking people to wait while we slowly and incrementally turn the tide of unaggressive black men and women killed by law enforcement. i'm asking people to be just as impatient. i'm asking people to press just as hard, i'm asking people to push just as aggressively and just as assertively at the city capitals and in washington, d.c. and in every other venue we can. make no mistake. the energy that we've seen unleashed across our country over the past week or

and i have to tell you that minneapolis is the first, i'm sure there are going to be many more citiesehind minneapolis. but i think when you raised were some very interesting questions. there's this larger debate about not just dismantling police but the incremental changes that have happened through reforms. there's a lot of unanswered questions in this space. one thing we do know and the one thing i do agree with is the fact that this work, whatever it looks like on the other side of here, cannot be done unless community is centered here. i think the other issue that we certainly are going to have to grapple with is what you brought up. the fact that you have thousands of police officers throughout the country who do the right thing on a day lay basis. so i know it sends a message to them in ways that it might not be intended but it raises the issue of whether officers really understand what's going on in this moment. i think there are a lot of unknowns. but one thing i mentioned in my op ed is policing has to be fundamentally changed on the other side of this. >> also joining us is

something we've seenin city. that's something we've seen in other us cities. xpecting the bulk of the protests to happen in the suburbs, in the quieter, less type areas like where you are? this is never really happened in these areas. the small areas, the suburban areas are getting hit hard. we've seen are getting hit hard. we've seen a are getting hit hard. we've seen a lot of the suburban areas of chicago, the retail districts get hit today. it's never gotten this volatile. i've never seen it like this. it's usually the city centre. in chicago where you see most of the protests. this is a little difference. it's spread out to suburban areas of america. michael, joining us from hobart, indiana, a suburb of chicago, stay about your time safely, thank you. the uk government has defended its timing of a further easing of the lockdown in england from monday. the communities secretary robertjenrick said they were "reasonably confident" the steps being taken were manageable — but people also had to play their part. all four uk nations will have guidelines in place a

cities. why do you thinks that? >> so many things i can point to the miment of the police department are just -- some of the best of the best and very proud of the work they've done. also our community, detroit is a unique place to sense that they don't welcome outsideers coming into the city, and we can't create violence and destroy property. this city has been through a lot jon. , i mean, when you look at the bankruptcy, and more recent times, so no. not at all. they're not going to stand for it and ting that's really had an impact on really on the outside. >> okay. let's talk about finances, bankruptcy, and police budgets. there are people all over the country qhor saying defund police departments. cut hundreds of millions of dollars from some police department budgets. that will show the police a thing orp two. how do you respond to that? >> you know it's hard to put to words i'll say it simply as this knee jerk reaction not well thought out and frankly this one shot fits all. it is just misguided. you know, i h

cities? >> there is a process for that, and, you know, we have a whole wing of the city that's keeping tabs on the time that's spent to address this public emergency, and there is a reimbursement. there's a lot of state procedures that are involved in that. that's not in my wheel house. what's in my wheel house is we account properly to give that information to the people who make the decisions, so we'll see who that -- how that plays out. >> next question is from holly, kqed radio. >> not to this point, no. the process in san francisco -- not that i know of, any way. the process in san francisco is we have a department of police accountability, which is an independent department from the police department. i say that, and i emphasize that because part of what's going on in this country right now is accountability. if anybody has a complaint, a member of the public has a complaint of the way we do business -- and we welcome accountability, you can go to our website. if you don't have internet, i'll try to get the phone number out to everybody. but we're transparent, and if the public has a com

that's not the way the city charter was created by voters, that's not what exists today. the council manager is a form of government which means the manager has responsibility and everybody assigned under them and our role on the council is to create policy. frankly i think that structure does need to change. i think there needs to be accountability, i think the mayor should be able to hire and fire folks throughout an organization so that the mayor is actually accountable in a way not simply blamed or responsible, but actually able to effectuate decisions. so i think this may be the beginning of an important conversation in addition to the really important conversations we have to have around race, equity and policing, but also around the structure of our city. that we are a big city now and the way that other big cities work is -- and i'm not saying this for my benefit, this is going to be probably the next mayor who takes over because you have to change the city charter to do this, but a mayor is truly accountable and able to say, yeah, the chief did it and i was part

city level? >> i think that from a cities perspective we need to make sure that we understand first and foremost the underlying conditions that many people in communities face. and we need to be not only listening but we need to legislate changes that really can impact what people are feeling on the ground level. and so that is making sure that our offices are properly trained. we have already in our city implemented by the cameras. we have already made sure that our policies and procedures do not condone either choke holds or putting your derek knee on someone's neck. we require that our officers report any incidences of course and that they hold each other accountable. and when they have not opened up in challenging times or with people acted outside of policies and procedures, it is imperative that we hold those bad actors accountable so that the community can have trust that they need to make sure that they are safe. we also instituted a civilian and please accountable review board that is one that council passed legislation. we had a referendum on on ballot that the community support overwh

and so she did say that the city will end up going back into that eastis precinct. the police department well. she didn't get into specifics in terms of one they will go in, how they will go in. i'd be shocked if she did anything that would create anotherr chaotic violent situation with protesters. she's really hoping that the black leader ventured behind her at this news conference will get on board and go in there and broker some kind of a deal and get these people, these protesters come out of there. sean. >> sean: dan. well, she was saying it was going to be a spaghetti potluck dinner zone and was fully supportive and when asked how long it might go on, well, it was going to be the summer of love.ve it wasn't really that difficult to predict this wasn't going to end well. the media was saying it was a festive zone and they were saying it on live television, they were being corrected by the anarchists in the zone that built the walls, ironically, to keep everybody, including police etcome out of the zone. >> yeah, and she took a lot of heat for that off comment w

will not tolerate any of that kind of policing in new york city. i am pleased to say that what we have seen in new york city does not reflect a lot of what we have seen in other places. we have a long way to go. we can always make things better. but we really value and honor the right to protest. i have to say, i have been exhilarated by seeing all of the protesters right there using their right, shouting for change. this is how we make change. it is something that has been coming for a long time and we need it. toapparently, you gave birth one of those protesters. >> absolutely. [laughter] veryas my child and i'm proud. your questiono: is very important. we saw things all over the country we would not allow here. the national guard was president -- was present in cities all over the country. we will not allow the national guard in the city. it will only make things more tense. the nypd can handle the situation. i have deep respect for the national guard. they did not belong policing urban areas of the country. second, we said we would keep the peac

that was the city. the moment that you walk outside of those walls, you are out of the city. and this is where we started, and now we will proceed to our first marker, our first historical marker, which is the slave market. >> the lemoine founded mobile and 1702, new orleans was not found until 1718. they had the first parade here in 1703, so when pierre lemoine founded new orleans, he took that celebration from mobile and started in new orleans. this is a very diverse part, that guy looks like louis armstrong, but he represents the bands playing the parade. and there's the african american king and queen statues as well. but that's how we say we are the birthplace of mardi gras, because we were founded 16 years before new orleans. then, i am a little footnote to say that we are glad that people think new orleans is the place to go so we can have fun and all those crazy people can go to new orleans. this is our central business district area. when i was growing up, we had no mall. this is where you get everything from a sock to a hat, not has changed. it's all restaurants, cl

that's how long it took new york city to get that officer fired. minneapolis we saw the officers fired within 24 hours. what's the difference? why can't new york city do what minneapolis can do? >> well, we will from now on, lawrence. i'm very clear about this. this was a mistake that i have to own. the united states department of justice, then during the obama administration, asked us to defer to them. they literally specifically asked the nypd not to proceed with a disciplinary trial and produce all the evidence. they wanted to do their own investigation. >> can i stop through one more time in there was no disciplinary trial. there was no disciplinary trial in minneapolis this week. the officers were fired within 24 hours. why can they do that in minneapolis and why can you be do it in new york city? is it all about union rules that prevent it? >> in some parts of the country, there is no law or union rule that stops the direct firing. there is also the very important question whether someone has committed a crime, and a district attorney, a u.s.

the mayor of new york city says that immediate action should be taken against police officers who are heavy handed when dealing with protesters the city just like many other parts of the us a scene days of sometimes violent protests against the killing of a black man in police custody george floyd died after he was restrained by a white policeman who knelt on his neck for almost 9 minutes here's what bill de blasio has been saying about police officers who overstepped their authority. any situation where an officer does something even in the context of a protest in a tense situation they do something offensive and inappropriate there must be immediate investigation that must be the appropriate penalty and that penalty here include all the way up to being removed from the police force there's a video going around of a police officer in the middle of a situation that admittedly looked chaotic but where protesters were in front of that police officer a police officer drew his gun at some point yesterday that to me seeing that video was absolutely unacceptable let's take you live now to n
