Supervisor mar good morning. The meeting will come to order. Im supervisor mar, the chairman of this committee, and im joined by supervisor brown and supervisor peskin. Thank you to sfgov. Mr. Clerk, do we have any announcements . Clerk yes. [agenda item read]. Supervisor mar thank you. Mr. Clerk, please call item number 1. [agenda item read]. Clerk thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. Id like to welcome helen mar and karen shoot. As you may know, Community Benefit districts, our Business Improvement districts, are officered by local law and state law. This resolution covers annual reports for fiscal year 20172018. Oewd ensured that all c. B. D. S are meeting their annual financial plan. It encompasses approximately 598 parcels. It has an initial budget of 400 million. Its set to expire on june 30, 2019 for this current term. For staff, their executive director is karen flood, and their president is benjamin horn. Our staff reviewed the following budget related benchmarks for u. S. Bid. Benchmark one, whether the budget amounts for each Service Category was within 10 Service Points of the bid. Whether the variance between the budget amounts for each Service Category was within 10 Percentage Points from the actuals, and whether the c. B. D. Is indicating the amount of funds carried out from the current fiscal year and designating projects to be spent in the upcoming fiscal year. For benchmark one, u. S. Bid met this requirement for the kur current fiscal year. For benchmark two, they greatly competed their 1 requirement, to 29. 4 requirement. Benchmark three, u. S. Bid met this requirement. And they also indicated their carriover and spend down in their annual report. In completing the review of the financials, oewd determined the following. They are particularly successful in meeting or exceeding their general budget requirements, and theyre currently set to sunset in june 2019, and theyre currently well underway in their renewal phase. They have performed well in implementing the service plan in the district. If there are no questions for staff, id like to bring up miss karen flood, their executive director, to comment on programatic achievements. Okay. Good morning, supervisors mar, peskin, and brown. Ill walkthrough my presentation now. Okay. Our mission is to create a high quality Visitor Experience and also to serve our members and to activate public space, to keep the area clean, safe, and vibrant for everyone. We want to ensure that union square is the heart of our city and an International Destination and is really inviting for everyone. Helen mentioned or boundaries. Essentially its bush down to market, kearney, over to mason taylor. Its really what you think of when you think of union square, and park to the heart. Our services, probably cleaning and safety. Probably 65 of our budget is devoted to that. Thats what the Property Owners wanted. We also do destination marketing, public advocacy. Our assessment methodology up to now has been essentially linear frontage. Its about 82. 81 per linear foot. Thats because were provide services right on the street, but we also include building square footage, and theres five categories starting at 88 per parcel all the way up to 5567 for properties. Major accomplishments, in 201718, our public realm improvements have been a big part of our mission. Winter walk has really been sort of a highlight for us to mitigate the impacts of the central subway construction and we were happy to produce that again. We are looking for a new location this year, and we continue to activate some of the back alleys in our district to create an inviting place to come and people to stay longer. We also continue to engage in compassionate homeless outreach. We initially hired a social worker, but in 1718, we partnered with the street team to give Homeless Individuals an opportunity to work and contribute to the community, and for that, if youre familiar with the program, they get connected with a case worker and get fast tracked to jobs. This has really been a positive program for us allaround in union square, and im delighted that the city has responded well to this in other parts of the city. Here is our countrteam, and inl year 1718, 21 members were involved and 21 members were housed, so were proud of this. And the numbers are just amazing, the amount of trash that we pick up. We basically fill two giant du dumpsters by 10 00 a. M. Every morning. In numbers and pounds, its about 603,325 pounds a year. Thats a lot of garbage. So thats important that were there, doing that. Graffiti tags, we removed 19,458. This includes everything from stickers to larger tags, and i believe this actually runs citywide, so i believe we are proud that we are keeping our area clean. We also picked up 5700 needles. Wed rather be doing other things, but there are needles on our sidewalks, and our folks are train toded to do that, an wed like to see that number go down, but yes, we pick up needled. We have Community Investors that engage with the community on streets. We point people to services, what they might need. We know the folks on the street, they know us. Most of the time, they respect us, and they understand that there are rules and ordinances in our city that we need to follow so that union square is welcoming to everyone, but we want to make sure that people know that there are Services Available to everyone, and they get those services. Activation. We launched a lunch on the lane program. We, you know, love our dear maiden lane, and we lost some of our caves, and so we tried to increase the traffic down in that area, so we brought some food trucks in the fiscal year. People generally love it. We are partnering with supervisor peskins office, continuing throughout this year and throughout the summer. Renewal. For about the past 18 months, weve engaged in the renewal process. Supervisor peskin has been instrumental in helping us and engage is us in this process. We are proud to say we got 50 support on petition. This is huge. Usually, its only 30 , but we engaged with the Property Owners what services they wanted, what they were willing to pay for, and 50 have said yet, we are ready to renew at a 65 increase, so this is a big ask for them. Were looking to get a big turnout on the ballot. Well be before you on july 9, and theres the buzzer. So thank you. Im happy to answer any questions you may have. Supervisor mar thank you so much for the presentation, miss flood and miss mar and for all the great work on the square Business Improvement district. Before we go, do you have any questions . Supervisor peskin i think miss flood stated everything very well. We continue to be delighted to the bid, and prior to Public Comment, i would like to make a motion to send this to the above with a positive recommendation. Supervisor mar actually, why dont we go to Public Comment. Are there any public members who wish to testify on this item . Please step up. You have two minutes. Please state your first and last name clearly. I believe Everybody Knows who i am. I want to commend you for helping the Homeless People and youre picking up needles and everything, and this following presentation pertains to you and all the following trades. We have a homeless problem in San Francisco. We have approximately 8,100 homeless in San Francisco. Youre spending 400 million on services to this set of people. Theres demonstrated experience where a Nurse Practitioner testifies that numerous studies after study after Study Programs provide that longterm stable housing with additional mental and medical support Services Improve outcomes for mentally ill homeless patients. Im bringing that up to you on the grounds that my demonstration pertaining to building 144unit Apartment Building complex for 56 million is the best deal yet to get Homeless People off the street and out of the area where theyre working and providing service to Homeless People. And theres another building thats close to that deal thats an 86unit Apartment Building complex, and its a threestory unit, too, for 67 million. For 5 million, you can built a 27 story apartment complex and house about 22,770 Homeless People in each and every one of your supervisors district instead of navigation programs. You can house people for not only drug rehabs, but people who need rehabilitation and physical disabilities, as well. By the same response, you could also place [inaudible] clerk thank you. Next speaker. Supervisor mar thank you, mr. Wright. Are there any other members of the public who wish to speak on this item. Oh, and i wanted to point out clerk well have Public Comment on those agenda items later on. Supervisor mar yeah, thank you. Seeing none, Public Comment is now closed. Colleagues, can we recommend this to the full board without objection . Supervisor peskin so moved. Supervisor mar great. Mr. Clerk, please call item number two. [agenda item read]. Supervisor mar thank you. Id like to welcome greg paper b bag wagner, the chief Financial Officer the Public Health. Mr. Wagner, you will have six minutes to present together. The floor is yours. Thank you, members of the committee. Greg wagner, department of Public Health. As we are building our Public Health record system, this will be a change how we do our billing at the hospital, and under an affiliation at ucsf, we provide them Billing Services under the epic system. This memorandum spells out the governances and the risk provisions over that relationship. The reason that its before you is it is complementary to the affiliation agreement, so we have matched this m. O. U. With the affiliation agreement. It is longer than ten years, and so it requires board approval. It is retroactive, and we are familiar with the boards sensitivity to retroactive. However, but making it retroactive to january 1, that period during the System Development going back to january and leading up to the go live. Theres no cost to the m. O. U. , theres no cost to the retroactivity, but it does allow the city to enjoy the Risk Management provisions retroactively, so we are respectively recommending that the board approve this item and the retroactivity to january. Supervisor mar thank you, mr. Wagner. Colleagues, do you have any questions . Actually, i did have a question how this arrangement with ucsf relates to the overall balance billing issue that weve been dealing with. Yes. Thank you for the question. So there are two aspects of the billing. Theres the hospital billing and the professional fee billing. The hospital billing is done by us. The professional fee billing is done by ucsf. On the balance billing issue, as you know, about 1. 5 months ago, we introduced new apologies that would restrict the balance billing. Those will remain in effect, and the provisions in this m. O. U. Will not impact anything in that in those new policies, so we will no longer apply balance billing. Ucsf will also not balance bill under this agreement, so all of those provisions in the new policies and the protections will remain in effect. Supervisor mar great. Sounds good. Thank you. Are there any members of the public who wish to testify on this item . Seeing oh. Seeing none, Public Comment is closed. Okay. Mr. Clerk, can you call item number 3. Clerk we havent yet taken an action on this item. Supervisor mar oh, so can we refer this to the full board with recommendation . Supervisor peskin so moved. Supervisor mar thank you. Mr. Clerk, please call item number 3. [agenda item read]. Supervisor mar thank you. Id like to recognize supervisor yee, whos joined us for this item. Note that i will be setting time limits for departmental presentations and communicating these limitations as presenters come up to speak. Supervisor yee, the floor is yours. President yee good morning, chair. Thank you, colleagues. Following two years of Meticulous Research and deliberations with Public Safety departments, im proud to finally have this legislation heard in committee. Vehicle telematics, a. K. A. Black boxes or gps tracking allows vehicle to report history, speed, diagnosis, including automatic smog check and safety. Telematics is not a novel concept. Many commercial fleets in nearly every commercial industry has gps and Similar Technology in their vehicles. In 2015, i noticed as a board, we were approving a large amount of payouts to lawsuits. Between 2010 and 2014, the city paid 77 million in litigation and lawsuits directly related to our fleet. This is unacceptable. Driving a city vehicle is a privilege, not a right. In may of 2016, i passed legislation to install Telematics Technology in the majority of our city departments vehicle with the exception of Public Safety departments. Today, more than 4,000 of our citys fleet has this technology, and we have already seen significant increases in safety and cost savings. With the implementation and results with this telematics growing contributions towards vision see reis used to improve driving habits, improving dispatch, cost savings, as well as helping us achieve the goals from the citys Climate Action plan and s. B. 32, californias Global Climate expansion act. So this will expand the technology to the citys Public Safety departments. New york city has had Similar Technology for more than 15 years. Yolo county sheriffs deputy as well as Hollywood Division of the lapd has this technology, and it is used with dispatch, better managing their fleet to be more effective and increasing Public Safety. Vision zero is about city officials, City Employees, and Community Members working together and committing to create a safer streets. Telematics is a viable and effective means toward our goal of eliminating pedestrian fatalities. New York Police Department has reported a record low in pedestrian fatalities and yolo county sheriffs reported a significant decrease in collisions. Lapds Hollywood Division which recently launched its pilot, interestingly has seen a dramatic increase in seat belt use. The safety and security of our Public Safety departments is my top priority, n. Not immediately scheduling in committee was purposeful to ensure that concerns in the Public Safety departments were given sufficient time to be discussed and addressed. Outcomes from months and months of negotiations and meet and confers have resulted in both fire and Police Departments in agreements that the safety and security of their officers will be maintained, and that they expect measurable benefits from the use of this technology. One way this will be impleme s implemented as compared to the Current System will be shared with the department. Operationalizing the technology in this way allows the Public Safety departments to protect their data and maintain the benefits of the gps and for the city to maintain the benefits of receiving remote vehicle alerts, utilization and automatic smog checks. What id like to do is call up each presenter and allow questions after each presenter. Id like to call up right now hes ahead of me is adam nguyen. Hes the city planner for the City Administrators Office to tell us about some successes of telematics in it the current fleet. In the current fleet. Thank you. Supervisor mar thank you. You have ten minutes for your presentation. President yee i told him it would probably be less than ten minutes. Thank you. Good morning, supervisors. This first slide shows in an illustration how telematics generally works. You have vehicles that have transponders in them. Theyre little black boxes. That provides gps and other information thats sent through cell phone networks, and that is collected through a Software System and then allows reporting to fleet managers. The devices are three different types. You have the general telematics device that plugs into the systems computer in a vehicle. Theres another one if its an older vehicle before 1995 or Something Like a motorcycle, then those just have tracking devices on them, so the only information is location. And the third thing is if theres no cell network, so for instance if youre in a remote area of the state, like hetch hetchy, you can still do tracking for information through satellite. In terms of vehicle counts, we currently have about 4,000 vehicles in the city that have telematics installed. 1851 vehicles are related to Law Enforcement or Investigative Services and those are exempt from the ordinance and those are the ones that were discussing today. There are additionally 1500 or so pieces of equipment. These are things like lawn mowers and trailers that should have asset guard of some type placed in them. The data thats collected by telematics is four major groupings. The first has to do with location, and this is whats called pings of every 15 seconds to two minutes so we can actively know where a vehicle is going and if its traveling. We know whether its been stationary or going, whether or not its been keyed off, or whether or not its left a prescribed area. So what you can do is setup geofences. You setup a square or some irregular shape, and you can tell whether that vehicle has stayed within the fence or left it. The second has to do with is utilization, so how far the vehicle has been driven, either directly calculated or through the odometer in the vehicles computer, whether or not it was used, and whether its idling. In this case, itdling is where the vehicle was in park or stationary for five or more minutes. So if youre sitting at a stop light, that would not trigger any idling alerts. We can view whether or not a vehicle has been traveling at high speed. In our case, its set at 80 miles per hour, whether the vehicle has had any hard braking or hard acceleration. And then, the next grouping has to do is with maintenance. If we identify any safety issues, we can have the vehicles requested to be brought vehicles requested to be brought in for service. Conversely, we have a relationship with the state to do Continuous Monitoring of our vehicles, and for basically smog related issues, and that allows us to waive out of smog checks, and that saves dollars every two years per vehicle. The things weve noticed with telematics, weve increased utilization. So in 2018, we retired 67 vehicles that were under utilized. We reduced speeding. So as we setup the system, got all the vehicles on, set a baseline, afterwards, we notify departments through dashboards to selected large departments that have fleets about speeding incidents that theyve had, and ask them to reduce that to take action. After doing so, we saw that speeding dropped by two thirds. President yee when you say dropped by two thirds, for instance, if there were 100 before that were speeding, now theyre down to 33 . Direct, and working with departments to further reduce that. As i mentioned earlier, we are already participating in the states continuous test will program, so we have testing program, so we have 181 vehicles participate be in that. Well participating in that. Were working to increase that number. This works by identifying the vehicle codes, and then inspect and repair the vehicle. And then, we also have just seeing departments seat up geofences, so they clearly find this useful to some extent, and theyre using it to manage their assets. So some of the Public Benefits we have for telematics for Public Safety are vehicle efficiency. If you see every single asset that you have, and you have calls for service, you can use that information to better, more efficiently dispatch those vehicles for that response or during a major emergency and then deploy them. Safety, we can improve accident response time, so the system allows you to see if an air bag has been triggered and deploy Safety Services to that site immediately. The system recognizes whether or not the driver or passenger is wearing a seat belt, and you can improve driver behavior, as well. You can tell whether or not the lights and sirens are activated, whether the begun has been removed from its holster, and there are various things that we can identify, vehicle problems before they turn into major problems, and other things we can identify. President yee any questions . Supervisor peskin no, but id like to be added as a cosponsor. President yee thank you, supervisor peskin. Regarding the cost at the end of your presentation, mr. Nguyen, have we analyzed the cost savings . We havent analyzed the cost savings. Some of them are indirect, so just by reducing the speed incidents, you have fewer claims related to that. Certainly, weve identified the ones for smog checks, and then by improving services in terms of preventive maintenance, the codes, you dont know if that would have happened. President yee i thought you looked at the idling piece. We have looked there. There, we have identified vehicles that are idling 15 of the time. Thats not necessarily entirely a bad thing. Some vehicles are designed to operate that way. So if you have a vehicle thats idling, it powers other pieces of the vehicle. There have been instances where weve had a passenger van, idling, for instance, for hours, and weve notified, we see a strange incident of this vehicle. Can you let us know whats going on, and then, they would correct that issue. President yee and i guess, whats your opinion in terms of that the agreement that the gps data will stay within the Public Safety departments or you think well be able to identify without location the same type of information that youre getting . I mean, whether were idling or speeding or that type of thing . Data elements that would if we see vehicles that have not been driven for long periods of time, we can follow up with departments. Speeding, there are triggers for speeding, but of course theyre Public Safety vehicles, so at times, theyll be speeding and hard braking. How if were seeing patterns of that in situations that are unwarranted, that is something we could follow up on. President yee thank you for your presentation and thank you for you and your team that have been working on this and really dug down deep, so thank you for the good work. Thank you, supervisor. President yee before i call representatives from the San Francisco Police Department, i want to discuss the initial obstacles we have over come, i hope. I realize that special consideration must be taken to preserve confidentiality. Officer protection and safety of Sensitive Information is a key priority of the city. Keeping the gps within the Public Safety departments will ensure that only San Francisco Police Department leadership will have access, and the other departments, respectively. Also consistent with current practice, the department receiving any request for telematic data from members of the public via sunshine or California Department of records act will determine what information should be redacted. If disclosure of records and data would disclose information that is confidential, would put the department at risk or is not legally discloseable, the department would not be required to share those records. In terms of protection of the system and protecting the data from unauthorized access to data from our current provider, there has been no incidents of data breaches. There is active security Intrusion Technology to continuously monitor unauthorized attempts to access the system. In the case of data breach, there are protocols in place immediately alerting the city. Written into the legislation is also labor process for exemptions. If Public Safety departments would like to exclude some vehicle from stalling this technology for some reasons, as proven by yolo county sheriffs and new York Police Department and other agencies, theres proof that this system increases Public Safety and saves public dollars but also has the potential to be a powerful tool in increasing response times and safety for the public and Law Enforcement personnel itself. So right now is oh, i have somebody else coming up, but come on up. Theres a change. Ill introduce myself. Im captain obrien. I just wanted to say good morning, supervisor peskin, supervisor mar. And thank you for the presentation. As mentioned, telematics does have the [inaudible] the data can also address issues proceed actively and allow us to adjust trainings and policies based on the trends that we see from the data. There also is a potential to reduce operating costs and vehicle emissions as the data can provide it for maintenance and maintenance and operating faults. That would mean better maintained more reliable and responsive police cars on the road and we are very much in support of telematics. President yee i like to hear that. Do you see any other potential benefits in regards to dispatch dispatching . I mean, how would that work . Yes. I mean, if there was ever a big incident and we had numerous cars and had to have some sort of security or put up some kind of border with our patrol cars, we could have supervisors looking at it and sort of plotting where we were our vehicles so we can prevent the public accessing whatever incident is going on. We believe it has a lot of potential to help us, as well, with other various incidents, with any type of high profile incident that we would have, we would use. President yee mmhmm. And then, in terms of the information that i provided in terms of safeguard information, do you feel that the safeguards are adequate to protect the confidentiality that you need . Im sorry. I didnt hear t could you repeat . I couldnt hear the last part of your question. President yee the information pertaining to individual officers and so forth, do you feel the information i spoke about before is adequate to ensure that none of the information that you need to keep secret, i guess, will go out . Im confident that if our department has access to the data only, it will prevent any breach of Sensitive Information. Of course, were always careful of any breach of data to the outside public for the safety of our officers. When we go to make policy, well have to setup some concerns for our members, but for our black and white patrol cars, we believe this is going to be a positive. President yee thank you very much, and thank you for the Police Departments support in this legislation. Thank you. President yee thank you. Next, i wanted to bring up id like to ask tony rivera, the support Staff Services chief who oversees the Fire Departments fleet to come and say a few words, and thank you for being here. Good morning, supervisor, president supervisor mar thank you. Just wanted to remind you, you have three minutes. Ill do my best. My name is assistant chief tony rivera. I oversee the fleet. And we support telematics. Im not sure if youre aware, in 2016, we implemented a Pilot Project with telematics. It was extremely successful. The only reason we didnt move forward was lack of funding. We absolutely support it. I know you asked for examples. When we did our Pilot Project, Central Station had access to all of the information. So we would have the vehicle that had telematics installed. If the driver would call in and ask for a repair, the check engine light was on, usually, we would send a mobile mechanic to go all the away across town and investigate. The Shop Mechanic is able to diagnose the problem remotely, and in some cases, the driver needs to eadd some coolant, an the check engine light will go out. With the ability to diagnose remotely, we have more inservice time, and were able to meet the needs of the city, citizens without having to go through a lot of these diagnostics, so we support it. President yee great. And i want to ask you a question. Its not to embarrass you or the department. Okay. President yee as you know in 2016, there was an ambulance that was stolen. And if we had had this tracking technology in this ambulance, could we have located the ambulance quicker . Right. So all of our ambulances are actually equipped with gps, so we were able to track the ambulance. I think that brings up another good point is someone actually has to monitor the system. So in that case, we did we were able to use the gps system on board, find out that it was over at treasure island, and be able to get to it. President yee okay. Thank you very much. Once again, thank you to the Fire Department for being supportive. Yes, sir. President yee okay. So ive spoken i have spoken with multiple departments, and many of the departments could actually testify. And im going to have a few highlights and have p. U. C. Testify briefly about the benefits from their department. One incredible data point is in 2010, sfmta conducted a pilot with Similar Technology. Within one year, bus collisions dropped 50 once they armed it. The fleet manager from sfmta is here to answer any questions if you have any. The department of public works has been a user of this technology and has been using telematics even before our current contract. They have been able to estimate mechanical issues much more quickly because fleet managers are alerted as the Fire Department has just mentioned. In talking with departments, several relayed when they get a complaint about the vehicle, theyre able to verify the claim, and more often than not, they actually were able to alleviate the blame as its been shown that the vehicle wasnt even operating at the time or wasnt even in the location that people were complaining about. Before any employee checks out a vehicle, part of a mandate, training highlights we have a mandate in training that highlights that this technology is installed in all city vehicles. Simply knowing the Monitoring Technology exists impacts driving behavior whether someone is monitoring someone. This is scientifically proven and known as hawthornes effect. Impact of this has been seen once the video training has been updated and launched to employees. So what id like to do right now is have sfpuc, napoleon campbell, Fleet Operations manager sfpuc, to come up and make a presentation. Supervisor mar mr. Campbell, id like to remind you, have three minutes. Thank you. My name is napoleon campbell. When i was asked to think about how telematics has benefited us, three things stood out immediately. First, the Emergency Management benefits. Our Incident Command Center relied a lot on gps during the 2013 rem fire and geotracking in and around the fire zone. We could check the status of our vehicles and if theyre stalled, moving, running, whatever, and tracking because it was a dangerous situation. Als also, p. U. C. S finance and risk department, we were able to easily identify vehicle types for proper rate reimbursements, and we were able to track run times for that type of reimbursement. Second, if we get a call into our department for a sewer issue, water main break, our dispatchers have access to a map in realtime. So when those calls come in, we can identify a Vehicle Group, for example, plumber trucks, and dispatch a Vehicle Group to the nearest situation. We can also assign emergency work to units in that area. Third, improved safety risks, which you heard a little bit about earlier. Since the geographic footprint spans five counties, we do have more vehicles on the freeway than any other department in the city, so speeding incidents were a major concern for us. So beginning in march 2018, when we started receiving the dashboard reports from g. S. A. , we started sharing the gps data at our Monthly Safety Committee meetings, and from there, it was shared with our leadership. And then, we also sent and mapped realtime gps speed alerts to supervisors, managers, when they occur. So they receive an email alert. And then, we also started asking our safety rep supervisors to discuss the data and the risks associated with speeding at their tailgate meetings. So happy to say by march of 2019, our speeding incidents decreased by 64 just by sharing the data. There was no discipline, it was just sharing data. Its that easy, and that president yee well, thats great. Well, thank you are you finished . Yes. President yee okay. Thanks for your presentation. Thank you for being with the department, aggressively arming the vehicles with this. Thank you very much. Any questions . Supervisor brown . Supervisor brown yes. Could you add me as a cosponsor, please . Thanks. President yee be more than honored. Okay. Then this legislation you know, as you see, ive we spent a lot of time putting this thing together and making sure that all the departments concerns were actually addressed. And then, i also want to say that numerous reports of the b. L. A. And reports have validated that theres clear benefits from this technology. Since 2015, telematics has been installed in the fleet vehicles without exception. What were trying to do today, this gives city the time to evaluate the impacts and benefits. Telematics is just another tool for departments to monitor their fleets to more effectively dispatch and analyze data to prove outcomes. Telematics is a viable and effective strategy to improve Resident Safety and has the best impact across the board by managing the citys fleet. So id like to end by saying well, before we do that, i wonder if theres any Public Comments on this . Supervisor mar oh, supervisor yee, i think it would be good to invite Severin Campbell from the b. L. A. s office. President yee oh, yeah. Good morning, chair mar, president yee, severin mar from the budget analysts report. I just want to go over our impact report, which is our understanding that the ordinance as currently written would have impacted to the budget of 342,806, and then, there would be costs of 400,000 to 800,000 to maintain. We just consider this as a policy recommend and consider this as a policy matter for the board. Our understanding is a memo was going to be made consistent with the recommendation to change the date. President yee yeah. Thank you. Okay. Any Public Comments . Then i ask chair to close Public Comments. Supervisor mar okay. So Public Comment is now closed. President yee okay. Then id like to end by just thanking the city administrator naomi kelly, and her fleet team, tom fong, adam nguyen, keiko nashida, and bill keller, creating a dashboard that departments can easily access and use to monitor their fleet. Id also like to thank victoria carson from the department of Human Resources who supported the meet and confer and of course chief scott and commander osullivan as well as the Fire Department and their collaboration in ensuring that this is a good policy with mutual benefits. Finally, id like to give special thanks to my staff, erica maybar who has worked tirelessly on this legislation and all aspects of the vision zero in my office. As mentioned by Severin Campbell, theres one minor amendment id like to make on page 2, line 9, is changing the date in terms of the compliant date from this date of january 1, 2018, because obviously, that has passed, to june 30, 2020, so that would give a year for compliance. So if somebody can make the motion for me. Supervisor peskin so moved. Supervisor mar great. So can we amend the the ordinance without objection . President yee and if we can pass it out of committee with a full recommendation . Supervisor peskin so moved. President yee thank you, supervisor brown and supervisor peskin for cosponsoring. Supervisor mar mr. Clerk, can you call items number 4 to 30 together. Clerk agenda items 4 through 30 are 28 ordinances adopting a memorandum of understanding between the city and county of San Francisco and bargaining collective units for City Employees. Supervisor mar thank you. So id like to invite miss carol eisen from the department of Human Resources to present on these items. Good morning, supervisors. My name is carol eisen. Im the Employee Relations director. Before you are 27 memorandum of understanding between the city and 33 labor organizations and were here today to explain the process and the outcomes and ask that you recommend adoption to the board of supervisors. Taken together, these agreements cover all City Employees except for nurses, sworn members of the police and Fire Departments, and Service Critical employees of the sfmta. As you know, police and fire, m. O. U. s have an additional two years. Theyre in closed contracts, and the nurses and the seiu, the team centers have reached tentative agreements. They are currently in the notice and ratification process, and those agreements will be coming before this committee at a later date. The m. T. A. Service critical m. O. U. s are all resolved. All but one either through agreement, notably the transport Workers Union representing the operators and other agreements at m. T. A. Were reached by arbitration award. The unions have been in a ratification process, so all of this is resolved. Seiu is still in the process of ratification, but that was an advisory process only because it was reached by award.
