Programming was our first step we wanted to offer a program that is, you know makes people happy and leaves them with memories. Here and there. So more points. Ready 1, 2, 3. I think a big part is its coming from San Francisco it is real estate a kind of vibe people relate to each other and everyones living in the city and you can feel the breath of fetish air and the experience you get out here. I think it give us an opportunity to get away from technology you come out here and look at it here and not look at our iphones and you kind of lose users in the city and have a cup of coffee im corey a typical day increase no typical day. And just the first time being on the talent show and getting a huge applause and i never expected it is is r is a great experience im an executive chief here at kathy serve over one hundred meals a day for the camp mather folks. People love our meals and the idea they can pick up a meal and dont worry about shopping or doing dishes and enjoy and have a great time at camp mather grasping grab on. I like camp mather it is a lot of freedom and kids run around its great. They have all the things i dont have to do the kids get to do what they want to do and we basically focus on them thats our only job. I like camp mather because i can ride my bike. I love camp mather. The children are up here playing around and riding their booiths bicycles thats a great place to see what the word is like outside of the city. Ok, well remember last week when you hit vinny in the head with a shovel . [chuckling] i do not recall that. Of course not. Well, it was too graphic for the kids so im going to have to block you. You know, i got to make this up to you. This is vinnys watch. Parks and places of communicated and thanks to the mayor and the department of technology and supervisor farrell and google. We had a very very unique partnership that was able to bring wifi to our most heavily used parks and squares. Parks in particular are really important way of life and quality of life and so is connectivity. Bringing those two things together in a project like this is right on target with what San Francisco is and wants to be. Its all about breaking apart the divide. The people with expensive data plan can have access to information and economy. This is really breaking down the Digital Divide and giving people across the spectrum the opportunity to information and giving them mobility and freedom. Particularly by investing in connectivity in park spaces we are also ensuring the connection to Digital Inclusion opportunities and parks are designed for all neighborhoods. People are on the move. They are no longer chained to their desk tops at home. People can accomplish a lot and we prefer them being here an enjoying the outdoors and nature. Given all the mobile community and mobile information thats available. We thought it was important to make it for our parks acceptable for everyone and give everyone the opportunity to live and to work and be at the parks at the same time. Our full mission in life is to give them access to the internet, give them access to information. In San Francisco you dont have to be bottled up in an office. You can be around and enjoy your work anywhere. Its great for the local community here and it means a lot to me. In the park, you are people that can teach you about the trees in the park and you can go to parks and recreation. Org and having wifi in our parks makes it more accessible. If you want more information about how to enjoy wifi in San Franciscoparks, go to when you cast your vote in San Francisco, you may do it through city hall or vote by mail. Ever wonder when to cast your vote . How is your vote counted. Lets follow your ballot from the moment its officially certified by the department of elections. First well look at what happens to your vote at a polling place. When you cast your vote, your ballot is fed into a voting systems machine. It reads your ballot and the data is stored inside on the memory cart cartridge. It provides San Francisco with voting machines. High speed ballot scanners and software used to cast votes. When the memory is pulled from the memory. The cartridge is stored in a bag and sealed then a San Francisco parking officer takes official custody of the cartridge to deliver it to city hall. The custody of the actual completed ballot is transferred to the sheriff who takes it on Election Night. On Election Night. Pier 48 is a hub of activity. Sheriffs bringing ballots lineup outside waiting to deliver inside the pier. Its a long night for these election employees. Staff unpack and sort all the ballot bags and account for all the rosters for those dropped off at polling places. The inside ballots are counted by a machine and there is still more to do with these ballots. Well get back to them a little later. Meanwhile at city hall, the department of elections sets up a one night only upLoading Center. Staff and City Employees ready to handle delivery and processing. On Election Night we set up the Loading Center here at city hall so we can process the votes as quickly and accurately as possible. First the election bag is placed on the reader to record it. Next the cartridges and transfer papers are checked by our staff. Then the cartridges with the votes for each precinct are fed into readers which are fed in the dominion software. These are results directly to the Department Computer for tabulating. Back at the polling place you might have cast your vote using the edge screen which is a screen touch system sch which allows others with disabilities to fill out an official blot. Its attached to the edge machine. I also need the edge printer. At the end of election day, a Deputy Sheriff takes custody of the sealed container from edge machine. You only have one edge printer, right . Yes. These deputies transfer the container a lot with the ballots to the warehouse on pier 48. The department of election staff opens the sealed container from every edge machine and reviews its printed record. Here at the department warehouse, teams of two people remove the record from each edge printer and check and double check to confirm whether or not those were cast. If votes are recorded on an edge printer, a team of two people remake the vote onto a blank paper ballot from that precinct. Then a different two people confirm the votes and correct any errors. All the edge printer records are are archived. They transport to city hall and then fed to the machine for counting. That way all the votes cast on the machine are included in the election. Voters are encouraged to vote at their assigned polling place. People who cast their vote at a voting place other than their polling place are called provisional voters. They are taken to city hall for verification by staff. Verification is to check to see if the voter is registered in San Francisco. If the voter is registered in San Francisco, their votes are counted for the correct contest they are into. More than 60 of San Francisco voters cast their votes by mail. Ballots cast by city hall are also by ballot. They are processed at the Distribution Center at the largest Mail Processing facility in San Francisco. So, its quite a large operation. About 1500 employees throughout 3 shifts. It runs 24 7. 365 days a year and today we have all the ballots for the city of San Francisco and today they will be processed for delivery. Today we have a truck that has already come in. We are expecting about 218,000 ballots to come on 15 trucks. So far we have received three of the trucks and you can see there is a lot of mail here. Right now we are getting raid to run the mail on digital bar code order. First we put it in carrier route sequence and walk sequence so its real efficiency for the ballots for our constituents. Voters registration are dropped off at the polling boxes and its transferred to a Deputy Sheriff who transfers them to pier 48. At the pier, ballots are collected. The number returned is noted and quickly transported by two Deputy Sheriffs and two Department Employees to city hall for processing. Before any counting of any vote by mail ballot can happen, the voters signatures must be verified. First the unopen vote by mail ballot uses a scanner that picks up the bar code signature and the bar code identifies the voter and precinct and that is sent electronically to the voter for verification. We have the signature on the Voter Registration file t voters name, precinct and signature is entered into the election Information Management system. Staff reviews the voter information and signature on file and visually compares the signature. Then we challenge the validity of the ballot. If the ballot is accepted, the voter is noted they have been accepted in the election. Then its send back electronically to the scanner. The envelopes are run through the scanner again to sort out any unverified ballots. On the second scanner pass, the ballots are also sorted by precinct. It makes extra effort to correct the system so the ballots can be verified and their votes count. Although accepted vote by mail ballot envelopes, used to be open by hand, they are now open by an extraction machine. It helps open the envelope on two sides and these on the machine you can pick up the ballot. Its probably twice as fast as a manual process. The ballots are then scanned by a dominion 400 c high speed scanner for each ballot card. At the same time employees check the dominion tally sheet and compare it to the printer. The scanner sometimes cant read a ballot due to damage or light marking by a voter. These are transferred by hand by a 2person team. These new ballots are returned to the scanner and the votes are added to the final tabulating. You can confirm your ballot was received and confirm your vote was counted at sf elections. Org. At the end of each day which transfers the data from the scanners onto this laptop and we tabulate the votes. On the server these votes are combined with the votes already transmitted with the cartridges. Once the data is loaded on this laptop, the server tabulates the votes and we generate a report and post it on our website. Along with the report, it also includes a precinct by precinct breakdown and posted by mail and a neighborhood turnout report. We are very proud of our data tool. It includes a lot of information about voter information with the voter district and party. We will continue improving. You would think thats the end of the story, but there is still more work out of pier 48 that needs to be done. California Election Code requires the manual tally of ballots in the precinct which is chosen by an elected official. For the 1 manual tally, the ballots selected are counted by hand at the department warehouse. Basically teams of four election match the ballots to the tally. There is a team for each ballot. Two people tally the vote that is called and the two people confirm the votes and finally they are compared and compared to the electronic vote. This 1 manual tally is the last step for declaring the final results of the election. So from your home or neighborhood polling place, to city hall, by memory cartridge, high speed scanner or even manually, your vote is tabulated and declared by the San Francisco department of elections. Hello, my name is jamie harper. In this episode, we are featuring the park locations in your very own backyard. This is your chance to find your heart in San Francisco with someone special. Golden gate parks largest body of water is this lake, a popular spot for strolling and paddling around in boats, which can be rented. Created in 1893, it was designed foreboding and for boating. It is named for the wild strawberries that once flores. A pleasant trail follows the perimeter past huntington falls, 110 foot waterfall. Two bridges connect the trail to the island. The climb to the hills summit, the highest point in Golden Gate Park at more than four hundred feet. You can get quinces of the western side of the city through glimpes of the western side of city through a thick trees. The lake is ada accessible. It has a peaceful atmosphere where you can enjoy a warm day. Walk along the lake and watched many ducks, and swans, and seagulls. It is a tranquil spot to stroll, enjoy each others company, and sail away. Many couples come here to take a ride around the lake floating under the bridges, past the pavilion and waterfall. For a quiet getaway, it makes for a memorable and magical experience. Located on 19th avenue, this grove is the place to wear your hiking boots, bring your family and bring the dog because it has so much to offer you and your loved ones.

This is a presentation from the Community Safety inturns who have been here for many of the meetings regarding the questions we ask them to think about and help thunk through on recommendation for rescrutment of communities of color and trust between all of San Franciscos communities and how to continue to talk about Law Enforcement in a way that all of the neighborhoods in the city see themselves in the department so we have some real extraordinary young people that give recommendation squz finds squgz talk 33 the process. I dont know if you want to say anything about this before they begin . I want them to get started. Before you have a couple folders which have in the pink folder there is a sheet like this which is a rough kraft draft of a report of the work that has been done, the young people and activities. All and all there 7 cohorts that work would the Community Safety this summer, 3 from hope sf and in partnership with theo miller and this was a internship about Skill Development and about really preparing people to think about going into project pull or future grads and creating this pipeline where we sometimes dont see young people from had communities most at risk if violence and poverty and crime. This is focused on how to build better relationshipwise the Police Department so i do want to thank president loftus and chief suhr for being willing to engage and move if t it forward and the partnership. We were just talking and this is by far the best summer we had with young people, this age and the work they put out is amazing and like anything that you would probably pay something to do so excited for that. I wanted to share stats with you. We did surveys in regards to how many of them would consider Law Enforcement as a career and we did that at the beginning we had about 66 percent of them said absolutely not and would never consider being in Law Enforcement and now we have 20 percent of them saying absolutely not so there was a shift and some have become recrurts. They are not thinking about it personally but recommendobe other people. We also had 100 percent say they now see Law Enforcement differently than when they first started the program and the other one i want ed to share is, did your opinions about Law Enforcement change and 89 percent said their perception and ideas about Law Enforcement changed so i think this is the beginning of having conversations how to have better partnership. They created amazing product squz the report givers a smap shot of what they worked on. I did want to invide theo miller up because he did a lot of recruitment. Thank you for this opportunity and you are in for a amazing surprise tonight thank you mrs.

I love this young peep lt and want to thank you cheer suhr. We started this with the communities were experiencing too much violence and wanted the young people to be mart of the solution and wanted to think of career path ways for these brilliant young people t. Is my privilege to find 40 or so of the best and brightest people and without further ado ill bring up morken. We took a cohort model because young people learn well in teamsism we know the young men and women work well together but sometimes better separately. First Morgan Tucker who is the team lead for the females will come up. Thank you thank you theo. I will sometimes take pictures of you guy. Welcome morgan my name is morgan tuck er and fts the cohort lead for the female group of girl and throughout the summer we worked on a project to benefit the Community Relationship between theplice z people in the community so we came up with different ideas using social media like a app or instugram and face book to look and see what we can do to help bring more peep people in and would like to introduce my girls to come up. Thank you for coming, my name is [inaudible] this is my cohort that consists of melody, [inaudible] today we would like to talk about the recommendation my cohort and i came windup to help better the relationship between the community and San Francisco Police Department. We believe that in order to better this relationship we need to be able to share stories and get opinions that involve the events and actions in the community and i would like to have [inaudible] come up and explain how. Thank you. Welcome my name is aleana [inaudible] i created a app to for police to keep up with the people in the community by giving them a safe place to connect anonymously about issues we are facing in our communities. This app will hopefully improve connection between the police and communities they serve. The app also have a unspoken voices column for families who face tragdied and would like to address the problems; next i would like to bring up [inaudible] appleton to introduce the [inaudible] thank you aleana. Good afternoon. My name is mellied [inaudible] what i came up with is a instugram page for the sfpd to connect more with their communities. We thought as a group a way to connect to the communities is interact with them and we felt like an instugram page is a good way to interact with them by hosting commune tazty events and have them more often so if you want a sports day we recommend you can do them twice a month so the community can see you are consistent in what you doing and trying to create a bond. That is what the Instagram Page is about what is the name of the account . Sfpd gives back. I followed it i did want know it was yall. That is good, i was glad. There are great pictures on it. If you want the instagram ask me because i got it. Chief suhr will ask for that later. At first people were not following the Instagram Page until i fallowed a bunch of famous people and got more followers. I posted a picture of a police officer, part of the sfpd and already got a comment saying how they feel safe being here, but i dont comment back because im not a real officer, you know, but think it will be helpful. Got it, thanks melody. Good evening everyone, my name is [inaudible] for our third recommendation was a face book page. Face book is not only a place where people socialize with friends and families but it is great space to connect with officers in the community. It gives residence a chance to post special and positive moments they captured interacting with officers and it gives them a chance toface book is also a place where it helps bring awareness to current and future events which will not only help residence feel security, it will also give them a chance for interacting with the officers. It will give people a chance to be open minded by cooperating or working with or socializing with Police Officers in the community while also creating a chance of bonding. Already with the Facebook Page being like said red by over 100 people we have a feeling it will not only help change the perception of officers in the sfpd but officers all over the world. Lastly, the Facebook Page gives a opportunity for communities to voice their opinion on a broader level giving more details for feedback and other comments that they have with the work the sfpd is doing in their community. Thank you. Thank you. Hi. There is a skit to show how the app works qu how it can be used in different ways. This is called [inaudible] do you want to explain the moony thing . They had a accident and didnt know how to pronounce muni, so they said moony. When they hear moony they mean muni . Ya. Gregs a quite young man gets robbed on moony. [inaudible] the Police Capture the 3 teens but they are released the same week due to lack of witnesses. Greg requests a [inaudible] his friends tell him about a app he can use to give anonymous [inaudible] greg downlouds the app and once he sees how it is set up he tells the police what happened and he has proof from moony. Hi, my name is [inaudible] i also created a skit to show another way you can use the app. The video dont have sound so you have to read the words and watch closely. [music] [applause] welcome. Hello, my name is [inaudible] we ran around the community asking questions. The first question we asked is how do you feel about the connection between the community and Police Department. The answer i got back [inaudible] stay away from the police because they were the bad people but as i grew up i know they were not so bad. The second question we asked is what are your thoughts about sfpd in general and the answer i got backshe is also part of the sfpd. I love being a part of the sfpd, there are so many good things we can do like helping people. [inaudible] ability to make connections some people dont have. I like going to different communities, meeting and talking to new people and seeing what i can do for them. Thank you. Thank you. The next cohort coming up is the Recruitment Group and want to acknowledge [inaudible] worked a little with the groups oen their video and they will show a snippet and share the link later. [inaudible] do you want to come up . Hello everybody. This is a initiative to transformsorry. My name is Jerry Johnson and my group came with a short film sla and documentary. We realize if there isnt a grood relaceship between the recruiters and recruited the compan wont work. We found out interviewing a bunch of people throughout the communities and here are a couple of their opinions and after this well give our opinions on how you can better recruit people or help the recruitment process go more smoothly. [inaudible] [unable to hear video] do you feel like police protects you . I think that is their goal, but no. I think that was [inaudible] but in the different communities that really need people to actually be there for them they dont have that. [singing] i say yes and no because yes, you [inaudible] you might hate me because im black or something. [inaudible] i know that is not true for all. How have your experiences been with police . [inaudible] bad experiences with the police. Getting pulled over and not being explained what im pulled over for. [inaudible] i was in a Interrogation Room and that is it. [inaudible] what are wrour thoughts on diversity on the Police Department . [inaudible] being able to experience it and being a officer in that environment where [inaudible] i can talk to them better about it because i have seen it done. I want to see more African American people who came from [inaudible] change because they talk about the police and [inaudible] would you join the Police Department . [inaudible] i think about it sometimes. I sure would because the retirement is [inaudible] [laughing]. [inaudible] if that is what they want to do, let them do it. [inaudible] they never called me back so i gave up on that. What could we do to get people like you in the force . [inaudible] respond to something [inaudible] they can come out and impact day to day and you get to know them outside of just [inaudible] it creates a relationship beyond [inaudible]. We got to have a better relationship and have more programs going on. [inaudible] like boys and girls club in the ymca talking about the youth and let them know they are on their side and they can be trusted. More involve would the community. I feel [inaudible] they try to give Police Officers to come around and [inaudible] Community Involvement is a big thing. [inaudible] to the community and try to encourage people to pursue a career in Law Enforcement. Thanks for watching, hope you take this information into consideration to make Law Enforcement even more diverse. [applause] hello.
