With that, i like to call up mayor breed for a few words. [applause] good evening everyone and thank you all so much for joining us here today. Let me start by thanking the members who are being honored from the San Francisco Police Department for continuing to put your lives on the line to serve and protect the people of this city, despite the challenges that knroe i know we all know Law Enforcement continues to face. Thank you to family members and friends and those joining us here as well to support these extraordinary officers who are being honored. Your support is extremely important. Your prayers are always welcome because we need to make sure they continue to be safe as they go about the work of the people of the city and county of San Francisco. Thank you to our elected leaders and our sponsors and our supporters, our commissioners and so many people who serve in the capacity to insure that when we are doing the work of the people of San Francisco, that we are reminded about the people who are actually out on the streets doing the work on our behalf. The city has been experiencing a lot of challenges, and as i said, Law Enforcement has not always been treated like they should. In some cases by the leaders of the city, including myself. And bringing this event back has been an opportunity to really make sure that we are not just pointing the finger, making policy decisions and not having discussion and talk with the men and women of the department. I had an opportunity to visit many of the police stations throughout San Francisco, and have really hard conversations with the people who are doing the work, because often times as policy makers, as leaders, we are making decisions about policies, we are making decisions about investment, yet we have no idea what it feels like to actually roll up our sleeves and put ourselves on the line the way the people we are honoring here today do every single day. This is a way to just really highlight some of that work, because we hear enough about the complaints. We hear enough about the people who are trying to put our city down and in particular, put this department down. This is an opportunity to elevate this department, and elevate the work that you do and the hard choices that you have to make in the split seconds that you have to make them. We know that it is complicated. We know that people may not all understand, but we know that you also love this work and you love what you do and you enjoy being out there making sure that youre able to make these decisions to save lives. We appreciate it and today as you hear about some of the stories, some of the stories offrom a different perspective. You hear about car breakins in San Francisco, but what you dont always hear about, is the fact our officers are on the ground making those arrests and recovering property. Going out of their way sometimes to make sure that someone whos suit case was stolen, they are looking for information and they are delivering their suitcase personally so their trip isnt completely ruined. What you dont hear about, is when people are asking for help and making the calls and they are the ones that are showing up, and i know that it is hard, i know it has been challenging, but today really is about making sure that your stories are told. Making sure that the people in this room, some of your families and friends and leaders, that we all know and understand and value it, but also members of the public. Because i will say that we hear about the stories. We see that on social media. Whats happening and the complaints, but you dont always see the arrests and the work and some of the things that occur and that happen after the fact. Because we dont just walk away after a crime is committed. Thats when a lot of the real work begins. The investigations that happen. The search warrants that occur. Putting together the evidence necessary to make sure that perpetrators of crime in this city are really brought to justice and all that work takes place because of the men and women of the San Francisco Police Department. So, i want to thank you all so much for being here today to celebrate. We were at the last officer of the month event in a very small Conference Room in my office, and i thought, this is a important celebration and it is only appropriate that its celebrated in a important venue like city hall in this magnitude to recognize how important each and every one of you are to serving and protecting the city and county of San Francisco. Thank you all so much for your service and congratulations. [applause] okay, thank you very much mayor breed and all your support. I like to call up the president of the board supervisors to represent the board of supervisors, president aaron peskin. Thank you assistant chief lazar, on behalf of myself and the ten members of legislative branch of government and my colleague, rafael mandelman, let me add to the mayors words to say that, we see you, we appreciate you, we thank you, and as district supervisors we actually as acting captain mureno knows, we hear the stories up close and personal and we actually know the rank and file. I know indiscernible i know gary and we see them every day interacting in the community. Many years ago, there was a controversy at city hall where one of my colleagues who was post certified by the way, said, that we needed to mandate community policing. I was a new supervisor. This was about 20years ago. I said what is community policing, explain this to me. When he explained it to me, i realized that is exactly what i had at company a. Police who knew the names of shop keepers. Police who knew the stories of what was happening with a individual who was on the street. Police who went above and beyond the call of duty and dug into their pockets to make things right on the streets of San Francisco. That is what i experienced and like mayor breed, i have to say, we havent said thank you enough. I think we all live in our worlds and if there is one thing i have gotten out of the covid experience is that we just have to say thank you and acknowledge all of our city workers more often, particularly the city workers who have the toughest jobs who see the toughest things. I will say, because i dont want to steal my acting captain from company as thunder that gary dexter, the two of you went so far above and beyond the call of duty in saving the Young Persons life, and aphending the individual who perpetrated those crimes. It just sends shivers down my spine. I cannot thank you you two enough, as well as your colleagues from tenderloin, southern and northern stations for similar deeds. Thank you. [applause] okay, thank you president peskin. Before i begin pmy remarks i want to echo something that mayor breed said and really just thanking the families for being here and for supporting us. Today is about you as well and your loved ones receiving the recognition but you are as well, because without you there is no way we can do this work day in and out so grateful you are here today. I got to meet families and look forward meeting everyone after so thank you. Today we are acknowledging San Francisco Police Officers who went above the call of duty showing bravery, professionalism and compassion in the work for the first 3 months of 2023.

In 25 years, the people will be thinking about Sea Level Rise and have plans that were preparing today. I know this building will be a worldwide symbol of San Francisco, of welcoming and new opportunities and thats what were honoring today, the promise of the city. I want to introduce victor coalman who is ceo of Hudson Community properties.

Please welcome our mayor, because she is going to continue to make massive differences for us. Mayor breed [cheers and applause] good afternoon, everybody welcome to San Francisco , were so happy to see each and everyone one of you here at the Ferry Building celebrating 125 years lets give it up for the official band of San Francisco, the lesbian gay freedom band. [applause] dont you just love this city . Before there was the bay bridge, before there was the golden gate bridge, there was the Ferry Building. And this iconic building was home to trains, to cable cars, to street cars, to all kinds of vehicles, to ferries and the fact is, it was iconic back then in terms of its significant during a time way during a time when we needed a place like this for so many different modes of transportation to come. When we think about the iconic Ferry Building, we think about San Francisco and we think all of the extraordinary things that this building has evolved to over the years. Yes, it was a place that was crfor trade, for different modes of transportation, but over the years with changes, we have seen it become this incredible place with over 40 vendors and businesses and playses for people to shop. To eat, to enjoy and to really experience the vibrancy of San Francisco. Whuz thinks about many of the challenges that this city has faced, in fact, the 1906 earthquake, the 1989 earthquake and two global pandemic, this building continues to stand strong. Before, the 1989 earthquake, there was a freeway through the embarcadero and some of us remember that freeway which really cast somewhat of a shadow on this building. Even though an earthquake can be seen as a devastation, here in San Francisco we saw it an opportunity, an opportunity for this location what it can be for the people of the city and those who visit and work in the city and use the ferries and other modes of transportation to come here. Thats why being here today and celebrating 125 years of what we are today, is so special. Because its so important to remind us of the past and what weve been through and the challenges. And when we talk about San Francisco as a resilient city, one of the most iconic resilient buildings that exist, the Ferry Building is one of the places that we think about. A place that is withstood earthquakes and withstood pandemic and has withstood transition from the smaller buildings that were once the tallest buildings in the city to some more, iconic buildings and the city continues to grow. We know San Francisco has experienced challenges but were grateful and excited to take a moment in time to pause and to celebrate, this extraordinary mind stone, a place that people visit from all over the world. A place that i visit frequently and enjoy smft venues and places to eat and shop. And what i want to say to hudson properties, they have done a really great job of making this space, a vibrant space, providing opportunities to local vendors. And creating a place where anything is possible for anyone who wants to come here. And i want to express my appreciation to elaine and the people that work for the port that commissioner, here and commissioner john burton, lets see looks like hes walking towards this way. I want to thu for all the work that youve done and i express my appreciation by giving victor a proclamation and officially declaring Ferry Building day in the city and county of San Francisco [cheers and applause] i also want to say, that city hall in recognition of this special occasion will be lit up in a cobolt blue so make sure that you take pictures and also were going to be giving out ice cream. Who doesnt like ice cream, 500 lucky people here today, will get ice cream to really celebrate this incredible occasion. And what i plan to put in this time capsule, lets see what my team put together. First, im going to put my challenge coin that shows a picture of its city hall in gold and it also shows the iconic San Francisco skyline and it has my name on it. And also because technology is changing and i think in 25 years, you may not have the ability to print these but youre going to open this time capsule and some people may say, when did they start making actual prints of photos. So im going to put in a print of my photograph because in 25 years, there would probably only be digital photographs and my hope is that people will look in this time capsule and think, this stuff is really cool. When i talk to kids, they dont even know what a typewriter is, some of you dont know what a typewriter is, that scares me a tad bit. But 25 years from now, well be able to open this time capsule and look at what was and as we see Technology Changing here in the city and county of San Francisco, we know just like the Ferry Building, well be leading the way for our technology and innovation and all great things and were grateful to be here to share with you on this time on this 125th anniversary. And with that, i would like to introduce the president of the board of supervisors, who is joining us here today and represents this district, please welcome aaron peskin. Thank you, mayor breed. Always hard to go after our mayor who said everything i had to say. I will add ad lib. This place, since the days preceding the gold rush. This is the building that for 125 years, welcomed our entrepreneurs, welcomed our immigrants, welcomed our residents, welcomed our visitors and established San Francisco as a center of commerce on the western seaboard of the united states. It is also an edface that we can learn from. The mayor referenced the mistake that we as a city and state made by wowing this incredible building from our water front and yes this building has survived two pandemic, the 1906 earthquake and 1979 and as a result of that, mayor agonos and the board of supervisors, used that opportunity to reunite the Ferry Building and our water front with downtown and the rest of San Francisco which we should be profoundly thankful for. [applause] this building was designed by an architect named arthur page brown who designed another civic structure that we know and love, our city hall. And coy tower and the war memorial all iconic memorial buildings in San Francisco. And the reason i evoke him is because there is a lesson to be learned from this building that on occasion of celebrating the anniversary, should not be lost on us and we should remember for the next century, as we raise, the Ferry Building which is that we have a tendency to muck up our historic buildings. We did that to city hall in 1996, then mayor willie brown and the board of supervisors, made the command decision at the taxpayers expense to return it to its grandeur and in deed the same decision was made here in 2003 where we unmucked this building and we should remember that. Until 1948, 50 years into this buildings life, there was a proposal to raeze, raise this demolished building, and the city fathers they were all men and the state board of harbor commissioners wanted knock this building down because of the advent of the car and the freeways and the fact that ferries were no longer the form of transportation. Guess what, its 2023 and now ferries are back in and this building is still here let us, remember those lessons. [cheers and applause] and while i do not for some reason, i do not understand how the power to proclaim Ferry Building day in San Francisco which somehow has been reserved only to the mayor in a charter section that i will undoubtedly try to change, i do on behalf of the board of supervisors have the ability to recognize with our highest honor, the Ferry Building on the occasion of this 125 years. And this will be the first time that i do not actually present the certificate to a person but place it in a box that we will open on the occasion of the 150th anniversary of this incredible edifice. Thank you for your steward ship, thank you to your staff, thank you for the unmucking of the building and thank you to those who have stewarded along the way, Equity Office and now Hudson Pacific, and lets get another 125 years out of this building. [cheers and applause] thank you, so much. Werent those fantastic speakers. The mayor and president peskin taught us so much about this building and what it represents. And im going to put a challenge coin into the box and about the soils and what it needs to raise it up. Well get more information before the 25 years is unfailed. Unveiled. Its time to celebrate this building. Thank you all for being here, on the 125th anniversary of this most beloved, exquisite, historically utmost building, lets hear from our official band, lesbian and gay freedom band, lets celebrate. Thank you [band playing] once i got the hang of it a little bit, you know, like the first time, i never left the court. I just fell in love with it and any opportunity i had to get out there, you know, they didnt have to ask twice. You can always find me on the court. [ ] we have been able to participate in 12 athletics wheelchairs. They provide what is an expensive tool to facilitate basketball specifically. Behind me are the amazing golden state road warriors, which are one of the most competitive adaptive basketball teams in the state led by its captain, chuck hill, who was a National Paralympic and, and is now an assistant coach on the national big team. It is great to have this opportunity here in San Francisco. We are the main hub of the bay area, which, you know, we should definitely have resources here. Now that that is happening, you know, i im looking forward to that growing and spreading and helping spread the word that needs that these people are here for everyone. I think it is important for people with disabilities, as well as ablebodied, to be able to see and to try different sports, and to appreciate trying different things. People can come and check out this chairs and use them. But then also friday evening, from 6 00 p. M. Until 8 00 p. M. , it will be wheelchair basketball we will make sure it is available, and that way people can no that people will be coming to play at the same time. We offer a wide variety of adaptive and inclusion programming, but this is the first time we have had our own equipment. [ ] shared spaces have transformed San Franciscos adjacent sidewalks, local business communities are more resilient and their Neighborhood Centers are more vibrant and mildly. Sidewalks and parking lanes can be used for outdoor seating, dining, merchandising, and other community activities. Were counting on operators of shared spaces to ensure their sites are safe and accessible for all. People with disabilities enjoy all types of spaces. Please provide at least 8 feet of open uninterrupted sidewalk so everyone can get through. Sidewalk diverter let those who have low vision navigate through dining and other activity areas on the sidewalk. These devices are rectangular planters or boxes that are placed on the sidewalk at the ends of each shared space and need to be at least 12 inches wide and 24 inches long and 30 inches tall. They can be on wheels to make it easy to bring in and out at the start and the end of each day. But during business hours, they should be stationary and secure. Please provide at least one Wheelchair Accessible dining table in your shared space so the disability people can patronize your business. To ensure that wheelchair users can get to the Wheelchair Accessible area in the park area, provide an adequate ramp or parklet ramps are even with the curb. Nobody wants to trip or get stuck. Cable covers or cable ramps can create tripping hazards and difficulties for wheelchair users so they are not permitted on sidewalks. Instead, electrical cables should run overhead at least ten feet above sidewalk. These updates to the shared Spaces Program will help to ensure safety and accessibility for everyone, so that we can all enjoy these public spaces. More information is available at sf.
