wes streeting, thank you forjoining me. sual — unfashionable you might say — willingness to answer difficult questions. we will see if that is the making or the breaking of him. thanks forjoining us. hello again. towards the end of sunday, across wales and south west england, we started to see cloud thicken and roll in. and as it moved in, we started to lose some of the visibility, started to get quite murky, and that murking—up process continues apace at the moment. we've got a warm front pushing in right now. that's bringing some thicker cloud, a bit of the light rain and drizzle associated with that, but we are seeing mist and fog patches forming around some of our coasts and hills. it's quite mild, though, for western areas. still cold in rural aberdeenshire — lowest temperatures about —5 or so. now, as we head through the rest of monday, this area of milder air is very gradually going to creep its way a little bit further eastwards, so a bit of drizzle to start off across western areas. could be an odd spitjust about an

when we look at the conditions on our streets, it is really unfortunate, it's sad, it's heart breaking, and i must say, what doesn't get publicized enough is the fact that not only do we say and we are a compassionate city, the amount of money that we spend on services to help people struggling with mental illness, substance use disorders, programs. our street overdose team, our wellness team. additional resources for narcan. the additional organizations that assist us with those struggling with addiction and mental illness. the significant increase in number of behavioral health beds in our system. a mental health sf, we've done a lot of work to try and turn things around because we know that suffering from those things are not easy. it is not just about homelessness. it's about addiction. it's about the fact that there is clearly in the tenderloin community with the conditions of not just the streets, but the people living there and the people suffering that we are in a crisis and we need to respond accordingly. it's not just about our police response to make sure that when people cr

wes streeting, welcome to political thinking. hi, nick.

we ask someone on the street, if they want to go services, skm they say yes, and we see them on the streets, we're not asking again. then, it becomes enforcement. possession, use, those are misdemeanors, so the law still allows them to be cited out. let's say they're cited out, and a third time in the same day, the law allows us to ask for a detention based on the likelihood that the offenses will continue. all of those processes that i talked about will be put in place. we have to be consistent, and it goes back to what i was saying, and i'll say it again, it takes resources. when we're not on the streets, we see the activity that we're trying to address, and can't address it if we're not there, so while we're in the process of enforcing, we have to replace those officers are officers that are constantly in the streets in some of the most challenging areas, and that's been a tremendous struggle because i'm telling you, if you go, and you've seen this in action, it's a revolving door. the consistency of deployment along with compassion, offering services, giving people a chance to engage in

if we would like to maintain the character and charm of chestnut street we must keep large corporations like street greens out of the neighborhood. please keep sweet greens out of the marina. thank you. >> that concludes public comment. public comment is closed. this matter is now before you. >> vice president moore. >> i have a quick question for staff for baseline understanding. my understanding is that the gap is a formula retail. why does this have to go through formula approval if it is a formula retail? >> good question. gap does qualify as formula retail. we were unable to find evidence that the gap was ever established as formula retail. it doesn't seem that they obtained the proper permits, entitlements to operate such as formula retail. that is why this business coming in would be the opportunity to do that. >> thank you for explaining that. i will let the other commissioners weigh in. thank you for explaining. >> could sweet greens respond be to concerns raised about the focus of this business being delivery and the number of drivers and runners swamping the neighborhood? >>

have a street that was safe. we had a street with five lanes and sidewalks next to a park. dea is vision zero which we all want, i have a really hard time understanding why this street like lake street who has had no fatalities in 2014 at least, and places in under deserved areas, that have 800 fatalities are not the ones that are being targeted for some improvements. is here we are on a street designate bid a park where other neighbors are suffering from increased traffic making it more dangerous and then why are the funds coming to the wealthy neighborhoods that didn't need it. i'm happy to pay for taxes but the way the sfmta is running this, it's just not clear, not transparent and it makes absolutely no sense. so, i really appreciate you hearing my concerns. >> clerk: thank you for your comments. mr. atkins, let's welcome our next caller. >> caller: hello, i'm a resident of d4. i wish there was someone in city government and in the police department to have the courage to speak out against the bike coalition members blocking traffic every thursday night starting at 6:00,

we know what's going on in the streets now. we're going to have a much more laser focus on these activities. the other thing i'll say is that we're very hopeful, well, obviously, this is successful and that we can expand and/or replicate as needed if it is. i mean, just i just keep going back to this we've never done this before, but we learn to do things that we never did for the last two years and we had to do that every week or two for 18 months. so i think that from an organizational perspective, like, you know, i think we can address the problem, but, again, you know, this is about this at least during this period, it really does allow us to focus and draw the resources we need to address the problems that we have. so it's not a solution to the issue, it's an acknowledgement that this is a risk, but we are thinking about it and, you know, we'll be coordinating on a daily basis to address that. and i don't know if p.d. has anything else they want to add. >> president walton: are you done, supervisor mandelman? >> supervisor

we think that will be a _ culture in downing street? we think that will be a key element of- culture in downing street? we think that will be a key element of this i that will be a key element of this inquiry, we think sue gray �*s report will probably suggest the idea that members of downing street staff could have a boozy friday after a long week, that might have been a cultural issue in parts of government, that perhaps two people who were in the downing street bubble, going about their duties, during the pandemic, as everyone else worked from home and follow the rules, perhaps they felt as if they were in their own bubble, perhaps they felt the rules did not apply to them and i think those cultural issues will definitely come out. thank you for talking to us. let�*s hear what the government minister said this morning this is damian hinds. obviously if you are a real maker, you cannot be a rule breaker, of course that is correct but we need to let this investigation run, we need to hear what comes out of that and then there will be of

that's why we have a street crisis response team. that's why we have the focus on putting strategies in place like c.a.r.t. that's why we have substance use and mental health professionals responding because it is a daunting expectation to put on a police officer to be in a certain situation and not respond with a law enforcement lens. that's why not calling out police officers to respond to mental health issues, to respond to substance use issues is a problem in the first place, so i assistant with you on that statement because i wouldn't want to put you or any of the officers in that predicament. director carroll, i do have just a couple of questions from you because most of my questions have been asked earlier -- oh, go ahead, chief scott. >> oh, thank you, president walton, and thank you for that observation that i just made. this is one of the reasons why i urge to voice support on this. as we stand right now, at 2:00, 3:00 in the morning, when all of this stuff is still happening, we don't have the resources to do just what you

we have had some copy actually from 90 street - image. t say that image. we have had some copy - actually from 90 street say that sue gray better get your skates on with the report because he might be out of the country before it gets to him is he apparently is on his way to eastern europe next week and is going to be trying to speak to russia and to president putin about the ukraine so it says he will travel to the region in the coming days although it won't say where an ace with persons that he will be telephoning president putin and reiterating the need for russia to step back and engage diplomatically. johnson is asked military and security chief to give him more options to mitigate against what number ten called growing russian aggression and of course we already have the photo illustrating some british presence in ukraine albeit from a training point of view. absolutely. borisjohnson has been waving _ absolutely. borisjohnson has been waving the flag this week and saying the uk _ waving the flag this week and saying the uk has _ wavi

so that at the end of the day, we have a betterment to market street. the other thing is as we are lookingto remove the trees it's not an all out removal of 32 trees all at once . it would be something that is staged so that even during construction we are not creating harm to the environment or to the market street beauty. it's something that is staged let's say for every 12 months with a certain number of trees that need to be removed so there's two canopies sent set to be installed every two months soessentially for every year so theidea is to remove trees . let's say they're needed for that particular 12 month cycle . so that's just another detail but it's an area where we are trying to not just remove trees for the convenience of construction and for the sake of the station entrance canopy. but it's to do it in a staged fashion. the other element is the arborist that we recently hired to help us determine out of these 32 trees are there some trees that wecan protect ? and still install the canopies without ... i would hate for us to preserve a numbe

this is meant to be consistent with this idea that we want vibrant street vending. we want vending that makes sense in public spaces that makes sense. we all know when we have vibrant street scene that's legal and safe that that's actually a benefit for all of us. what we don't want is we don't want what we see and to be playing at u.n. plaza. where we have oversaturation. we have crowds of people that are laying out goods that, you know, still may have the walgreens stickers all over them. that doesn't help any of them and doesn't benefit any of them. one of the other pieces of that that i wanted to emphasize is there's a lot of concern about what this legislation will do. that this is about targeting small immigrants and low income folks really trying to pursue some economic opportunity. that is incorrect. this legislation does not apply to hot dog vendors or people selling tamales from a push cart. that is not covered by this. this also does not apply to street artist. there is already a street artist regulatory. we want to make sure that people who want to sell g

and as we clear the streets of snow, we can't guarantee that we can keep every street pass only.ains. so if anyone ventures out and they get stuck, it will be difficult for emergency personnel to get to them. >> and i can't think about the people who don't have a home. the homeless. i know that you have warming centers available. do you know status of those and how busy they might be? >> yeah, we've been coordinating with all of the service providers for folks experiencing homelessness. and we've opened up shelters and we did everything we could to get folks under a roof with the incoming storm. so thank you to everybody who did all of that outreach. and you know, you really have to count your blessings. if you have a roof over your head and you can wait out the storm in the contract comfort of your living room watching disney plus, there are a lot of people who don't have that home and we did everything that we could to get them to shelter. >> that means so much. and we can see in these pictures how really dense the visibility is at this point. do you have any idea in terms of h

response team, do we currently have a 24-7 coverage for the street crisis response teams? 24-7 coverage? >> yes, through the chief, yes we do. and in you want more specifics, chief pang can address them, but, yes, we have 24-7 coverage for street crisis response teams. >> commissioner cleaveland: and currently we have i guess, what, six crisis response teams, is that correct? >> yes. >> commissioner cleaveland: and how many are designated during the evening hours >> we have one right now. >> commissioner cleaveland: just one. is that designated in the tenderloin area probably? >> city-wide now because they're the only ones. >> commissioner cleaveland: wow. well, they're a busy bunch i bet ya. how many on average -- on an average day out of the 300 or so calls that you receive are calls to sros in the city? >> i don't specifically have that breakdown. and, you know, there are a lot of sros in the city. i'm not even sure if we have a specific list of all of them to be able to compare. >> commissioner cleaveland: still the issue at night is you have --
