U yolanda that are here julia with the Bar Association and the criminal justice integrity unit and officer for justice yeah, that chateaus my list the Police Department is involved in the Critical Reforms my goal that by sitting together tonight as one united body we can both increase transparency and move quickly on those reforms the last month we held a hearing in the blooper they were talking about 200 and 72 recommends that were presented and the board has also held hearing on the civil grand juries on officerinvolved shootings those are difficult but critical conversations to have amongst the policymakers in the city thats exactly i didnt did work with any staff to pass the ordinance last year and really have been pleased to hear from several members of sfpd limp that the report has produced some eye opening moments from the department has been a long standing issue and we are taking steps to move beyond the fact finding phase we have 5 separate report we can point to that have collectively provided 5 hundred, 5 hundred recommendations to approve our Police Department so why are we are doing all of this you might ask im hopeful with all the investigation work and the actions that we will take to implement the recommendation that we really might begin to start to gain some of the Publics Trust and confidence back because we received information about what improvements to the Police Department and in our last meeting want to focus on how the recommendations will change will be implemented paying attention to a timeline i think with supervisor campos in participate mentioned in the last meeting we need an aggressive timeline im in disagreement to that end will be as follows brief rangers from the Mayors Office and a representative from the Public Defenders Office and well hear from a presentation and updated presentation from the intern chief chaplin theres a lot of information well need to cover here so colleagues in order to get through this ill ask to the greatest tint possibly hold the questions to the at the end of the presentation so the presenter can get through and than a q and a session now id like to bring up.

Good evening supervisors and commissioners and thank you supervisor cowen so for allowing me to have a few minutes to address this joined meeting and hearing and my name is demar the chair person for the racial just committee a committee of advertising in the San FranciscoPublic Defenders Office im also a member of the San FranciscoBar Association criminal Justice Task Force and i work on the subcommittee so for bias along with Susan Christian and id like to also indicate that julia and frank leadman members of the San FranciscoBar Association criminal Justice Task Force are here and available for any additional questions that you may have i wanted to just on behalf of the Racial Justice committee mostly indicate that our Public Comment following the review of the report i want to acknowledge and provided a letter to all of you that have our period of time from the Racial Justice committee acknowledging the Mayors Office and the Police Department and their coordination with the department of justice and completing the assessment of the Police Department i want to invite you to review the 10 point plan that the racial Committee Committee realized a couple of years ago as well as a demand letter to the supervisors earlier in this year and indicate that a lot of the recommendations that are included in the department of justice assessment were echo from points we addressed the point of Racial Justice committee to be committed to reform in the Police Department and reform from the criminal Justice System in San Francisco so all citizens are treated equally and one of the things with respect to the assessment by the department of justice which we do finds they did a very good job and decisions but overall we agree with the vast majority of recommendations how much disappointed in finding that the assessment was unable to reach the specific conclusions regarding the incident of actual racial bias by the Police Department because of inner sufficient procedures within the Police Department i think this definitely prohibits San Francisco from being able to hold the Police Department accountable if we dont have sufficient data ive been working with the Data Collection committee which headed that he julia electronically met with julia from started and to analyze the procedures we can note how well and how effective the Police Department is operating i want to emphasis that because we have a new 79d didnt mean that 21st Century Policing principles are no longer applied and i think that San Francisco instead of being a follower not having the technology and the tools and equipment available to be one of the leaders and role models in the policing industry that San Francisco should be a beacon of light San Francisco should be a leader in policing in 21st Century Policing and i do want to acknowledge the Police Department so for its efforts i indicated in the letter i submitted id like to make a distinction between the efforts of Police Department and the Police Officers association and i would like to have the pee pee held accountable for some of the devices rhetoric it is including in the writings and literature and others social media the Police Department is really making an effort to move forward to be a leader in the industry and to address issues of racial bias that are not by the community there have been a division and the community in determining whether or not the Police Department is providing fair and unbiased policing and i think that despite the Police Departments effort the piano pee is hampering will where conscious or unconscious and finally indicate that despite another rest of the country being in turmoil right now and this being a time of Great Division i want to echo the words of Michelle Obama she said they go low we go high and San Francisco cant operate as a role model in terms of fair and unbias policing tyler to do list and reaching out to the researchers in the country in terms of the communities feels like the San FranciscoPolice Department is operating in a fair and unbias manner ill encourage that process to happen sooner than later and the data that is collected now with respect to the body cameras is not of used to have tools in place to analyze the data and in terms of policing i want to thank you. Allowing me to have those comments and vertebral for any questions afterward thank you very much all right. Chief chaplin. Thank you for joining us this evening. Thank you for having me.

The second bulletin which is deploying a firearm it was determined the point of firearms did constitute a use of force which implementing that that was a shift in culture in training rolling that out we saw a use of force statistics psychiatrist thats because we were capturing Additional Information so a change avenue training and culture the last one a bias bulletin departmental bulletin which was a note on my watch pledge a commitment by all personnel in interest in bias will not be tolerated a commitment by our officers to understand no place for bias in the workplace or anywhere as we start going to the Police Reform units we started to understand that many the incidents are mental crisis persons combrerns mental crisis we are now under the Appeals Bureau primarily a patrolled based function but have a number of Police Officers trained and looking forward preliminary in the control we also are in the final general order to owls the policies so forth for the across the United States critical general order and the Mayors Office is condominium one thousand dollars for training and bucket for trainers and Additional Mental Health we continue to improve programs and training so that officers can constitute time and distance and declarations techniques on all Critical Incidents with all incidents that deals with a person dealing with a Mental Health crisis all recruits get the cit training and youll personal tracing e Training Programs were doing it to the cycle additionally the district in october announce theyre going to have specialist in richmond with the Police Department to deal with persons in crisis the next few slides cover the high profile incidence your intimating aware of this first sliders on july in the tenderloins for an individual with a firearm in an altered mental state we entered no more questions and after several hours that person was apprehended with the weapon and rapidly transformed to zuckerberg San Francisco general he got treatment for a narcotic induced issue and in the following slide the fact that the officers in the field contain the incidents deescalate using physical barriers to buy more time for Additional Resources to arrive and continue to into enter into negotiations next slide, please 24 intsd is in the ingleside the individual had fireside numerous rounldz into the neighborhoods backyard and again, the patrol units richmond to this contained situation initialed the take i can see this individual was taken in custody using the deesclation techniques creating time and distance youll notice there are 50 firearms seized in this particular case the next case a vague rant business that closed down and individual cited an alteration with a female and body slammed her and freed. The patrol attempted to take him in custody they had negative results with tares we were able to contain him on the catwalk again time and distance we brought in negotiators it was a conceive incidents without loss of life and once again a slide filed with 58 firearms that individual fired rounds at the location offers responded and contained him and created an environment decalibrations worked and brought in a negotiator without the loss of life to incidents one and 8 firearms con indicated the result would have been catastrophic. This incident in your own backyard at the Central Plaza an individual in crisis was armed with an firearm wanted to comment suicide we used time and distance and barriers and take i can see after several hours he surrounded to little negotiators and went to zuckerberg San Francisco general illustrating again that the policies weve implemented the practices weve implemented are working we moved into police affordability body worn cameras are on the forefront of Law Enforcement over the last few years a collaborative process to develop a policy by which human immunodeficiency virus 9 out of 10 district stations it is the duty of this week all 10 district stations will have fully deployed cameras for their he personnel and support units will also be trained in those cameras and be issued those cameras the San FranciscoPolice Department is one of an only 67 Police Departments in the nation i think outside the box is significant to note the department of our size employing to a full patrol force as we move forward we will be looking that data and attempting tool sees body trails through the cameras. Again continue on with the use of force department bulletins were issued earlier in the year employing the range weapons as bag guns all personnel in the field have access through the car or partnerships with the units in the field to have the weapons the tactical have explored with shields those shields are more or less crowd control shields with the package were looking at Ballistic Shields tare used with the apprehension with those office of labor standards enforcement were developing new tactics and other Law Enforcement agency where we cant find best practices well do Something Else and lastly going back to a cultural shift our bio annual Firearms Training is rejerked to include sunbath time and distance and deesclation techniques it is knowing from the peace officer standard. This slides illustrates the success of the Crisis Negotiation Team as you can see a number of dates statistics from 2013 on we have 34 negotiators but the quick information the number of calls for hostage negotiators continues to increase as you can see we plan for those calls more than likely there in the calls in the coming years the natural progression from the crisis to the negotiators the accountant team has a success rate of 99. 5 if you understand one of the virldz elected to comment suicide that impacted that rate it is important to know that in every single one of the calls all one and 84 called for a call to service so for patrols weve been implementing time and distance in the deesclation techniques experts between us and the negotiate team and mental experts in bringing the person in for crisis so have a peaceful resolution in all one and 84 i want no gunshots by Law Enforcement personnel the Data Collection of the San FranciscoPolice Department is champed over the years it is widely orchid internally and extraordinarily as captured in a number of reports weve be able to take the challenges beef been presented and create anticipate application on the smart phone all officers use smart phones and capture 9 Demographic Data requested by the City Ordinance 96 a additionally potentially for the california bill 953 and understand this one is big time we employed this application two weeks ago all over the place early results are phenomenal well have press 10 data with a role out that will be able to tell us a story that data will be transparent and well be working with academia and heard about the heart were going to set the perimeter how the academia uses this information airline bring them in shortly so also important to note this is a side stewart step issues with the report as mentioned in previous hearing we said the data challenges are there you have to understand one a miscommunication with the data of ordinance of report but additionally a manually collected report manually verified so there is no intent to delay the report it is the intent to make sure you have the the right information and that information is press 10 moving forward with the automated process well have it interesting to note we met with the California Department of justice to demonstrate this smart phone flarngs impressed they said in a number of applications throughout the site this is the best theyre looking to document it as a statewide tool or measure. When we look at bias in the Police Department a number of training we 1234u9d so note in the doj report on page 63 ill quote it no evidence if explicit bias is widening in the department on the contemporary the doj objective a Law Enforcement agency for the most part showed caring and professionalism towards the people of San Francisco again this was the department of justice on page 63 of the report as as i mentioned earlier we understand that our data is challenged we understand there is a trust issue with our data thats why were partnering with academia to help us present. This is some of the methodology of what we did do address this this is newcomers years and started a i couldnt be u number of bias Training Programs in 2015 some of you may recall with the crime lab believe it or not that was highly successful and build on Successful Programs to introduce training across the board next slide this is where we move both the department of justice report next slide, please the department of justice report those 0 programs and policies in training to address issues of bias and policing and Community Policing and protocol and finally recruitment and hiring and Personnel Practices as mentioned he earlier 95 finding and associated recommendations as the highest level try to encap sunlight 4 hundred page it is safe to see with a certain degree of certainty were looking to shift the culture and an absolute need for data capture and more agreeing i will approach to training if you took all the recommends theyll fall into the 3 concepts that is october 12th when the mayor september the report and 24 is where it gets excited folks prior to the implementations of the report we were under agreement with the department of justice were going got to disclose the data or held thats their agreement we agreed and to maintain the integrity so previous Board Hearing we were not in a position to fully disclose with the department of justice mandated us to do next slide, please.

This is a a visual demonstration of the recommendation and the pie chart the text on the lowest essentially shows what reports were encompassed with a number of recommendations go included in the 5 doj ill move on to the structure based on the inputs into the components we took the initial go maefks and the obviously and integration matrix and start the plan how to throw deploy we came to the final reservation coming up of the project managements currently in your packet we development standardized form in order to address the standardization of work club sdoindz to prioritize the reports in a standardized process next slide, please begin the matrix if youll note names associated with the executive sponsors executive sponsors excuse me were identifying through the executive projects who will be the Key Stakeholders in moving forward this document tells us who when and how we expect those recommendations slide reporting the instructions none existed in the department of justice report the candidates and the others developed 90 these in thirty days we provided and development the forms to make sure we had a standardized work process that everybody can chief we built in oversight in terms of who has the oversight next slide, please. This is the chief and mayor addressing a recruit claw is this is significant theyre addressing the recruit class about body worn cameras so this is a living breathing concept many officers have been trained and place of entertainment reforms slide this is the flow chart the meat and potatoes so the executive sponsors to the workshop they identify the project sponsor or project manager and assistants project manager and internal and Research Personnel to insure were using the best practices and including the community when we talk about the community were talking about internal city shareholders so other departments will be included in the process from that period we go into the researcher and Planning Institution phase theyre given a recommendation and those two review processes by the professional standards will let me digress and upon completion sent to the chief owe eventually to the commission slide. Current status a all 200 and 72 dufz so i understand to the executive sponsors the deputy chiefs their selecting the initial report 44 high priority recommendations are in progress again, i mentioned earlier were expecting an update in the next three weeks including the holidays and 6 implementing policies or remedies that have been implemented were looking at implementation there is a number of policies a number of recommendations that we have implemented, however, the needs to be codified in a proper manner so from professional stand point were awaiting the final documentation packet to productive to prove to us those have been implemented those of you notice on that far lefthand side a sign off sheet all the way it from the project manager to the chief and ulcer to the Mayors Office that will sign off on the documents each one alcohol, tobacco firearms recommendations as included will have a sign off sheet to make sure were complying slide workplace ill take questions if youll note quite a bit of concern about the role of the department of justice reports were continuing or to work with the department of justice in collaboration and committed to the recommendation all captain conley i think the challenge is; right . This motion the devil is in the details we talked about the folks minded timelines and an understanding of what will happen i think you did a tremendous job of taking a number of items and shown us the process if i wasnt as close to you. My question big picture issues that came up within the Department Around bias and use of force around accountability that sort of maybe if you could take us back a step whats the approach that the department is talking to the issues and maybe give a couple of examples that commissioners very specific kwetz of the number of 4 willed and 79 there is a chart well be able to follow about the departments progress and give me an example of one or two so we can understand what we are following. It up commissioner ill focus on bias bias impacts all aspects of Law Enforcement the develop in seeking instructors a sustainable approach to training the it personnel and certifying those and how to combat didnt and explicit violence were talking about 200 members of the department were talking about resources and funding issues instructors and creating an assignment in august the staff went to a training by the department of justice we developed the need in working with the department of Human Resources and working with the california state justice and looked creating a model to training all personnel in october, november we trained the middle level captains and again Building Blocks continually building more well be a commands staff those are all Building Blocks that continue to grow and continue to revisit and same with the reports looking at how we are approaching the training and changing the culture and the training cycles and the training of context to insure were getting to the issues. Next slide, please. No way. I have a if i may and supervisor cowen thank you very much captain thank you for walk us through there tremendous we have a few questions come to my minds on slides one you specifically talking about the use of force reform and deesclation i was curious what will happen i dont know if you have pull up slide 11. Is that 11. Page 11 excuse me weight of the testimony come back to slide 14 talking about around increase 50 perris from the Previous Year of i even that was deesclation if im not mistaken i said to know if you can read sweet spot numbers why there was a 50 percent increase and this is on slide 15. Right in terms of the increase in the number of call outs a number of factors that increases the incidents of a feeling of society stressed. Im sorry, i need to correct myself the housing shortage crisis new york in 201675 calls 50 percent increase in the Previous Year why the increase. We dont have the underlying information the society pressures for people to be marketrate in different ways this distributed to patrol personnel understanding the slow down situation and calling Mental Health and crisis negotiators for different outcomes and. And i think you said 34 active negotiators how is that number determines officers are selfselected and gotten a training and tested and demonstrated some kind of a natural and innate ability to deescalate how are the 34 negotiators vehicle co negotiators selected i think individuals that generally ascends personnel through a number of incidents articulated they have a very, very strong articulation skills and empathy and knowing quite a few of the of those negotiators you know theyre the cream of the crop in terms of negotiations in the statewide mandated requirement that dictate what can be a negotiator. On slide 20 you gave 3 i think those are the analysis of shifting the mind setting culture with the data culture and agree i will approach 3 categories that are where change can be implemented he wanted to know exactly the departments strategy in changing at mindset in the culture of the department thats you know a cultural challenging is i think were doing it wanted to know if there is something im missing. No it is a unique trying to implement those change in the culture and data xachdz those are and confidentiality is strong leadership and strong management skills we have the management in place. Such as im interested in the specification how do you change cultural. Those are taught in accordance with the post guidelines and governed by federal case law as we integrate time and distance and decirculation we have that in the mindset of all personnel under the training and policy the policy will back up that training so were reengineering the policies and very engineering the training and insuring that also accountability and supervisors reinforcement and decirculation take i can see through the range so is this a format within the department no it is a new process couldnt create it before the issuance of a report we did know the department of justice was including the other reports so it was created for that. Any compliments to you one thing ive heard there was consistent material was collected and then reported out so good see a format and well instructions my xriementsdz to you guys a few more questions. Just a few more questions we want to know you, you may not be urban design the best person perhaps but i want to know what we do to recruit officers of color female officers and officers from different communities in San Francisco. So the recruitment unit is under the present standards with captain danger field have recruited community of color for the Police Department by the actually go out nation wide historically africanamerican colleges and other higher educational venues and military to identify the best candidates thats a strategy that we employ. Is there a priority given to someone that is grown up in the city and not that im aware of. So this is one of the key recommendations that potentially every one of those reports can point to weve had a lot of confusion about Data Collection so offered the legislation in 2016 and passed unanimously with two reporting period to the board of supervisors and this again in the forest of transparency and so i really want to know about the confusion and or the delay of the quarterly use of force reporting can you can you talk a little bit about some of the challenges to why. Well, for the first report a miss understanding the second reporting period there was a 3 day late our mine challenge is we have the mass and bulk collection on the data and make sure the data you received is accurate so recorded tremendous amount of resources in filtering what youre getting to make sure youre getting proper information moving forward obviously well get a different data system and work with veerndz and or our own internal resources to that is the collection methods and not seeing that moving forward especially with the application that is selected. Thats good thats my next question not on the matrix in terms of you know the project management and deliverables so that is pretty dense i could have overlooked it and you talked about the collection of data we have a mature respect for the day to day picture of what we dont see and quantities many people can experience on the kwntsz that experience so the doj is recommend that the San FranciscoPolice Department partner with an academic to help us with the implementation of the recommendation and specifically with the analysis of data wear collecting the data and now how do we translate that data into hardcore policy changes we talk a little bit about in findings and person and evans emphasized the process that the Department Needs to go through in order to find that person or team of persons to help us process that data. Once we develop the specifications for the ac dam we go through the process with the rfp that will be put out on the website. Do we have a date when the rfp is realized. Who is on the team to determine the qualifications for the person or entities that will lay out the criteria well use to evaluate the person. The executive chief and the project sponsor and theyll identify the team members and work to create that process and insure compliance with that recommendation again that recommendation covered several reports the doj Blue Ribbon Panel and civil grand jury is that in the 90 day priority of the section of the response in the matrix. Im looking at a part in the binders i think the matrix what youre describing has a person that is the executive sponsor and the bureau and also has the priority im wondering if getting the rvp it rfp out the door. You need to have that discussion with the deputy chief talking about 4 hundred and 79 recommends you have to prioritize them there are development and discussions ongoing but in terms of them falling to the highest priority we identified workplace this time period quickly the Data CollectionDevelopment Process is a laborious process so that may not be bank of the west suited doing a tremendous amount of resources up front or better yet develop a plan moving forward. Okay. So i think my questions have been answered any final remarks we move somewhere between thirty and 60 days and put the priority in getting a data analyst in place sooner than later thank you supervisor cowen supervisor peskin. Thank you madam president and thank you to the intern chief chaplin and the command staff of the department and our colleagues at the Police Commission i think supervisor cowen when they asked did question about the steps to reform the department was on the right track if you listen to the earlier testimony that we received one of the comments was really about the role of an outsideal be that inside force the piano pee and this is a difficult question because obviously every bargaining unit has the right to organize but this is a bargaining unit that has an outside influence on the department and they tell us barf and the barf of the working men and women of the department i have profound respect is for the working men and women the of Police Department as a middleclass caucasian man ive had nothing about good experience with the police ive represented on and off for the last 16 years i believe that the poa despite working for wages and benefits for their members has had a profoundly coreview influence on the men and women of the department weve seen whether textmessaging scandals this is a question for the commissioners and a question for my colleagues and a question for captain conley and the command staff what steps are being taken to make the poa the 21st Century Organization that does not heart attack back to the 1950s we see at the dawn of the 21st century. Wow. laughter i know tell you that when this report department of justice was issued the poa issued a press release he embracing it to that point to implementation theyre in support of it but cant speak to the specifics im not aware of the specification this is a changing time in the department the poa is aware and i believe their moving forward to o the best they can. Wards to specification im in no way trying to be argumentative there is the way dda one wants remedies by the Blue Ribbon Panel a recommendation that was made in the cops report relatively relative to shooting at moving vehicles are the subject of a grievance by the poa i mean, i cant but observe this albeit it their crackal right by the wild recommendations by the extinct parties not to exceed to the United States of america so you dont have to answer that it is be troubling are in response and supervisor peskin i have been in the position in the past having to respond to concerns about the poa lets not make tonight different situation where the commissions of the retired members of poa post things on facebook and you taxi on the members of the community articulated what ive seen over the past few years a deft spirits versus a spirits point Police Officers association has taken we are claefrtd to partner all best practices show in any Union Representing working people importantly stakeholders in San Francisco whether that is from body worn cameras to use of force we prioritized bringing everyone to the table not only the poa but the offices for justice and the latino poa and Pride Alliance and prioritized to our part they have a difficult job changing every day to make sure they have the tools and equipment and ability to most san franciscans saying you know what i have a pretty Good Relationship we have distrust not new and an opportunity to address them head on ill say this im tremendously disappointed on obstruction with the best practices cso with the prohibition at the shooting at cars and prohibitions on outdated use of force chamber that was former greg suhr that led the way all of the efforts around time and distance and decirculation so ill say in terms of account one of the remedies changing policies takes too long theres a really for the commission to play and at the department we have to take a look at the lessons we interest the use of force process we are now coming on a year in december from when we started the use of force and still dont have a policy thats not okay it takes too long i cant give you a quick answer how to hold the poa responsible but using all the levers to advance the process and take the lesson to move the policy in the future much faster thank you. Supervisor campos. You wanted to come back to you. Its also good to see my former colleagues some of you from the Police Commission and thank you to the president and the members of the commission for being here ill just be very brief we have people for Public Comment and want to thank the department for their presentation and the acting chief for overseeing all of that i think the problem is so fundamental a so many aspects when i speak about sort of taking some of the responsibility for some of the things that have happened not just the Police Commission i think that is a collective responsibility that i think that members of the board supervisors the mayor and the Police Commission have to take i think that one of the challenges that we have here and that i have in convincing my constituents were saviors about orange the Police Department and forming the office of the occ is the fact that unlike other jurisdictions where they have been incidents in San Francisco we have had excuse me a number of incidents without prejudging any of the things that happen but a number of finest not a Single Police to the best of my knowledge employment has been terminated. What incidents are you talking about. Not a single Police Officer that is fired as far i say that i take responsibility for that two because i actually think that something that for a lot of people especially people of color this is the problem and i think that many respect this the the elephant in the room and we have to deal with that and i just i want to put that out there we all have in responsibilities on that and until there is some accountability i heard a lot of people thats all of what we do will continue to be a problem i honestly building that i dont mean that to be minimize what has been done but i really believe that and give an example i dont know what will happen with the case the incident i said this to then chief greg suhr with the homeless man; right . Whatever you think about the shooting and wlung all the questions that arise i think on the basis of failure to deescalate on that basis alone there is a strong case for termination of officers in that says whatever you think of the actual shooting in the end failure to deescalate that alone should be a basis; right . I want to make sure we dont losses site of that i think that all of this is important we have to go through the process but until and unless there are consequences for some of the incidents and there is an actual you know step taken i think well continue to have a problem i want to say that note diminish what we are doing i respect the acting chief weve been able to Work Together well, in the district but i want to say thats an issue that is good that the board is involved and thats good were talking to as bodies the Police Commission and the board of supervisors, the mayor but i think that is a fundamental problem we have and it is going to be an ongoing issue so i look forward to Public Comment and again, thank you guys for being here and before we move forward just we will need to take a 5 minute break unfortunately, the commissioners cant leave the room otherwise not a quorum we need to allow them a quick 5 minute break wellback. All right. Everyone thank you so much for your patience and at this time, id like to recognize commissioner dejesus. Thank you, thank you thank you sxooepdz thank you for having us here and thank you for the public i want to talk about what supervisor campos said this is a real important issue we need to put on the table what further discussion the reports have certainly said the department shouldnt be investigating itself this is a critical vlgdz vlgdz and i know the former occ now will be investigating every shooting or every you know shooting or killing that comes in so the real question and right now the department does the heavy listing the department is at scene and the counting of the bullet they do the heavy lifting if theyre not investigate themselves who is going to do that i can if the we had the internal affairs and in terms of investigating whether the conduct or out of policy we have the occ now that will do this the department provides information for the occ but the key in question is the Police Department doing the heavy left or the da do very this the resources or turnover they are fox to the occ the da takes over the actual investigation are they going to coordinate and turnover information i know the department and da are working on a memorandum of understanding of what will do what we need to include the accountability within that so from the da ends up doing the heavy lift this is something we note to talk about that that determines that investigation really determines whether there will bring charges or misconduct that is something we need to talk about do we take that away from the department completely the cops suggested if they dont do their own investigation the other one i want to talk about i know that we talked about groups Stakeholder Groups we talking about working with groups on this in the process my understanding is that some of the way that the department is considering setting up having a member of the Police Commission and the Mayors Office and then having peripheral stakeholders like the stakeholders this is kicked around i think outside the box as a narrow very narrow Stakeholder Group i think outside the box had this be broadened and consider having people on the racial just and the Bar Association and other organization their active on this to have them as shareholders actual stakeholders in terms of moving forward i know we need to move forward quickly the butt input we take in terms of policy or training or whatever it should be a broad diversity of opinion rather than internal opinion with the occ and the poa so i think that is something we need to consider and the data im concerned about the data because what i heard the department say to come up with what they need a request are for proposal i got the impression to consultant consult with a consultant and move forward to actually hire someone to hire someone in a way to analysis that information and i think that the chief talked about the request for proposals that archaic we not necessarily know how many rfp and it is as long process and the chief had ideas this is something that needs to be put on a burner fast burner and make sure the People Experts in the field are able to get access to im concerned about this type of process and concerned about us developing whatever data before we meet with an expert those are some of the thoughts that i have we have a broader workshop including stakeholders in the Actual Community as well as the Bar Association and things like that. Thank you supervisor avalos. Thank you supervisor president london breed. I want to just voice any appreciation for all of that background work on the effort of isnt it true Police Reform and looking at the data the finding and recommendations that came out of those two reports that is significant and it shows an effort around accountability and transparency i think that we have requested that we get a sense of what the recommendations are that will be prioritized and working on getting a number of 44 i feel in a way i have a receipt didnt doesnt show i wont be here but the 4 priorities that what are how are they 3wr0ekd in terms of our categories use of force or bias and police and hiring personal practices that is important when the next time we present to share that out there those categories understand the use of force what is the first one youll work on in terms of that already youve shared some of the work the implementation of the decirculation and time and distance and youve touched think outside the box that but so many other recommendations that weve seen that are you know discussed i dont want to get into the weeds as much have in writing before the next hearing at the board of supervisors so thats my recommendation i wont eastbound here to receive that but i expect ill be watching as a citizen not a supervisor at that time, but we all are really from the election last week and we know that real changes with coming down in San Francisco we had and across the country in terms of transformation Police Reform the backstop of the 21st century president obama report from the doj well our doj very, very different im concerned how to uphold the principles from the 21st century report in the face of what the effects will be trying to you know put forwarding in terms of law and order and presidency and get to the poa im really concerned about how much we have to be very vigilant with the instruction the poa will be creating here in San Francisco the leadership of the Police Officers association had done a lot that payroll supporting the republicans and 84 percent of the city voted for clinton did you sent money to the republican policy and voted but the poa 71 percent wanted to repeal but the poa do not to oppose it 69 percent voted against prop 66 that expected the death penalty. The poa to defend that we know that the resources are moving us back in the 21st Century Policing by the Obama Administration i think we need to be much stronger as a city to figure out how to bring them to the kind of reform and vision of the policing that is about Building Trust with communities our goal in terms of reform with that, ill keyed my time. Supervisor peskin and thank you to madam president and commissioner president loftus one widening place of agreement at the board was funding this was a priority that is mayor shared with us funding the Investigation Bureau that he District Attorneys office with an of the questions from time to time at the board what is the status of mou is i have the competitive up here ill ask him that request chief chaplin. Ive been issuing to get to. Were in the efficiently phases of the mou my understanding from the da and this was said earlier but hes in the final process of hiring the advertising for that position the mayor opportunity the position for the excellent bureau were finalizing the mou with regards to the Police Department and the da how that will work out with the investigation but you know again, it is going to be with them taking the lead in the interview process were finalizing get into the weeds were close to the finish line and negotiated with that body and the Mayors Office with regards to funding the position my understanding he put out the job announcements hes in the process or phil i dont want to jump being so information i have no full knowledge but cattle he was close to filing those positions. Without putting a finer point getting into the weeds and what the mou will be entered into any timeframe estimate. I think were fairly close and within the next month or so. Thank you, chief. Thank you seeing no other names on the roster, i will open up for Public Comment for Public Comment. There any comments . So if there are folks from the public that want to comment on the hearing please come forward. Ms. Jones welcome. Thank you two minutes okay so first, let me say im Felicia Jones what the disparticipants in the justice for mario woods my first point would be to supervisor peskin and i just want to say you have Good Relationships with the Police Department. As a Community Advocate i wish mario woods would be here to say the same thing and Jessica Williams to say the same thing and alex i wish louis were here so he could say the same thing and cuttingedge technology and others were here those of us it is disheartening to say that to you only the other things the focus on bias the training of captains and lieutenants is not enough working with a par military Organization Even though this is from the top down you stop at the two a lot of times with the culture the culture will not change we got to get real and my other they know who Police Officers the police the executive team i dont know the commissioners name of the year she said to you have the mayor and the Police Commission and have police chief. Thank you, maam. Thank you, maam. Next speaker, please. Thank you. Police for accountability two minutes is not enough to address the issues but the during the course cops found in bias they found in data in the center of Tech Innovation why is that that sfpd and its it department it in the stone age im hoping not willful blindsness this must change just you guys know boston hired a worldclass audit firm we need that that San Francisco having an academic on board is important as far as writing an rfp and you know being closely involved in the process ac democrats we need to know exactly what our data and need to get working on that quickly also let me pick up my remarks from previously given the trump quake theyll feel enbelonged how will we maintain the remorseful i think by building the grassroots Civil Society organization and institutions for affordability and by local government working with them collaboratively. Given the trump quake the only way for San Francisco to retain the progressive values. Move forward to be a beacon of hope in a dark night to break down the community between the community and this board i hope that will happen. Thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Good evening. Im david i have two items of constructive notice and something about the Police Officers association the first, the transcription on those videos are horrible i think that there actually a vision of brown act they need to be fixed the second thing is good this is a joint meeting because this involves the revenue stream not only of city and county but thought state and something that is under the jurisdiction of police there are hundreds and hundreds of cars driving around San Francisco that have dealer plates their uber cars those are cars not paying tax and 245i driving willfully im seeing them from all over the states those are dealer plates innovate with passengers and all sorts of things trucks with the loads in them so this is constructive notice for the Police Department to start enforcing the laws an dealer plates and the next Police Officers association i was shocked to hear the commissioner was unhinged with a Police Officers association i think a grand jury should be worked on with the Police Officers association as if their organized crime if you look at the idea theyre creating a situation theyre claiming immunicipality from investigation in mcallisters in deaths in all sorts of in tune behavior and theyre creating a crosswalkal arrangement that is failure to investigate the truth of situations this and the contracts with the city and county of San Francisco be thank you, sir. Next speaker, please. Good evening supervises and Police Commission we understand that you guys are exhausted but weve been here for just as long and were still here im clem the district 6 and the chair of the Unemployment Commission im here to reiterate things that the commissioners said in past Commission Meeting in the new police chief those encourages the appointment of a chief that is in line with the characteristics and recommendations within our budget and policy priorities as in the bp p we need a chief that will impact with people on the School Grounds and officer skills and best practices for working with young people that are yountd e groubtd in development of incorporate scenarios of real live implication with young people in those training components and thus giving the officers to apply the skills the last thing i want to say as our elected officials you guys come into our neighborhoods and tell us how important to center a voesz a lack of voice contributing thought Decision Maker and not acknowledge us as an important body in the room is discouraging and disheartening so we are the ones directly impacted by the Decision Maker you guys make and those are issues for the youth to give their Public Comment i ask you give them your undivided attendance thank you. Next speaker, please. Good evening board of supervisors im here to spoke speaker for my brothers and sisters who were not here im also to speak for the other organizations that came out not to stay as long as we could the project was united playaz and others as youth we are effected and me and my brown skin ive been searched because i live in the neighborhood but no way im the vice chair the commission and a junior at the San FranciscoState University to urge the Police Commission to look at the Budget Priority policy priorities we urge you guys do please be mindful and how do i say this to be more sensitive around arrest our youth on campuses and arresting them in front of of the parents and around trump to be sensitive around the youth and undocumented youth thank you. Next speaker, please. Hello, everyone im a senior at the Lowell High School im a mayoral appointee to me communication is the key to Southern California all problems bossing nerk verbalize their concerns and be able to take those concerns take into consideration to make peoples lives easier this is a simplified and easier said or done but police in communication are equal to noncompliant in San Francisco i feel like the sfpd is not doing enough for hear our voices we are literally 9 future and as cliche as it sounds if you dont show an honest to make sure that the youth relationships are on a positive tune ear adding to distrust within our Community Coming from my neighborhood where Police Presence running into Police Presence positive relationship is key because if not results in a lot of unnecessary problems so, yeah so sorry respect crucial twruft is crucial if you want to see process you have to tarot with the youth that is going on 9 oclock we had a lot of people that would have liked to speak we have to go tomorrow i have to wake up at the foufshs but tell her youth that want to participate in things like that this is difficult to do that you obviously see you know a low number of youth so i want everyone to take into consideration in planning meetings in the future. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Good evening polar vortex and supervisors it is still calm; right . Thats how i see my days sometimes good and bad at the end of the day im living in district even this 10 this is my second year on the Youth Commission i think my fellow commissioners reiterate what is already been said please include the things that directly effect us the general point has been in the past in the youth Commission Meeting with the department it is pretty much at the time of parents arrest from the child is not under that policy effects me as a formally child of formally incarcerated parents that effects me it is hard having to live away from a parent that is called dad and having a parent in prison is unfair and seeing them arrested for the last time is brings angle gush and seeing a parent arrested is like and is also when our trying to change youre thinking of changes and the voice to change it can be bad i want to reiterate that and just to say that we need to progressiveness within the sfpd when our looking through a different less than not use the past strategies maybe it worked in the past but starting to look at it at a different angle in a positive way i wish people sunshine could are have been present to share their experiences with the police but at the same time having youth to come up here and tell you you policymakers. Thank you, commissioner. Welcome president matt hi my name is a madeline im a senior at the urban school of San Francisco and the chair of the Youth Commission so as we talk about the new policies im reflect on the policies success in the past theres a memorandum of understanding between the sf Police Department and the Sf School Board and we really not to see that implemented yes. The Youth Commission received a complicate about mroebt cops arrest youth at a San Francisco high school in front of their classmates and limited communication with the School Personnel that could have helped to avert that situation we ask implementing the memorandum of understanding and making sure that the implementation that the training weve recommend for all Police Officers around interacting with youth is implemented as Police Officers are hired thank you very much for listening to the youth and trying to coordinate we know that is late we really, really appreciate your time. Thank you for your comments. Next speaker, please. Commissioner president loftus i want to thank you for pointing out the oak rep analytical ive spoken with him one reason we came here the presentation was a lack of action by the am i correct . My son was in his senior year of university and never in trouble any son was sdaulthd by plain clothes officers vp Anthony Montoya and was unlawfully jailed for the night first thing in the morning he went to the dr and to the, llc ways physically hurt they took photographs and advised not to file a complained until the charges were dropped the Public Defenders Office in the alu then begin working with us they were a lot of media on the case there is a lot of evidence a civil suit with adoptions despite this the oak close the case the occ did not have the facts the investigators said no video but, but the Public Defenders Office and the alu have video it shouldnt be this hard to get justice that the officers abuse the policies using unmarked cars to perform a traffic stop and changing the name of occ and roach from didnt political make a function better must be closer insight with a closure lens fighting for what is right wears you down trying to heal any family from the trauma is my sole economic and emotional responsibilities disappear my son suffers from a disease and im ripped open when i see the officer in role as a pi o. Thank you not the first Police Officer that committed a crime that was promoted. A couple of progress nufrn the deesclation policy in the last 6 months is a rows success only one officerinvolved shooting of a civilian and he was shooting at an officer when he got shot over the last 6 months is quality of life is good and taken two along everything takes long for the commission to get done the dash cantonese took months and only 3 in intern chief chaplin im sure saying that chief suhr was dragging his feet i am not only again, the dash cam take to along the committee was made up of 8 officers 8 advertising from alu with the bar all the advertising and one regular person i dont remember here name may be one the commissioners know but 17 members on the committee figuring out how it will go one regular person and 8 Police Officers association and 8 paid lawyers this is not how you run a railroad thank you. Next item. And it is hastening to witness this to consider the recommendations of any reports relating to Police Reform in San Francisco i hope the first of many such working sessions between the departments undoubtedly theres more work to do and like to thank the San FranciscoPolice Department for being open to the findings and recommendations change it difficult we get this is something we must deal with each the reports is a culmination of research and analysis and throughout the goal of the c g j report not to serve as as indictment but a road map for change and road map for reform and road map for success a road map can bring the city to a better place it seems save to say most of reports have the same goal in mind as those reforms continue and discuss change i ask all the departments from the mayor on down to commitment to the following be transparent, shushing off be ready to change be thoughtful dont be political review not only the wording of the recommendations but the spirit in which theyre written and intended utilize the Community Shareholders and finally remember that were all together only by Work Together will we be able to have a result in a better sfpd and as states one that serves as a role model for the whole nation thank you. Next speaker, please. Immigration supervisors and commissioners and the chief he wanted to brought to your attention one of the comments that supervisor campos i want to echo on behalf of the community in any district we really appreciate the fact youre working towards change and reform but one of the main concern is trust in building a community and at the same time building a community that happened in a lot of the district especially my district district 8 we suffered the loss of 9 individuals at the hands of Police Officers and yet we still have not gotten an answer in the District Attorney if he will provide charges to the Police Officers responsible for that but also need to hear that something is done about that it is great we have a lot of policy and systems in place to you know reform but again, if were not addressing the issues the community their own Police Officers will not do their jobs effectively we want to support them but at the same time want to feel r79d and protected not feel front yard we walk down the street when we see a Police Officer so again, all time and time again, ive asked any neighbors how they feel with the work that the supervisors did theyre supportive but want to feel safe im here to ask you to consider amongst the accommodations of the Blue Ribbon Panel and the department of justice that you include something around building a relationship with the community adjourned. Please i said to take wish with that report said training there is something glazing in my opinion alarming no evidence it didnt bias is wiped that cant be the truth just do a search on sf with the scandals and racism and homophobia and talking about planned activity and burning crows into the tech give me a brake man and jutting us herman being a Police Commissioner beat his beautiful to a pump be denied opportunity to work on Domestic Violence issues for the Police Commission yet able to be a part of all drug illegal drug policy and supervision that to me is such a hip civic position for sfpd when i did recruitment for sfpd the one thing nicholas if you ever done e line substance dont be a Police Officer youll not get though how, the Police Commission beat up a partner in a rage over meth not part of our community who else has used drugs i think that is shameful as doerns suffer and request why not document the lgbtq or the Queer Community and the sfpd acting police chief you dont quantify this was wrong with being queer a hostile intermediate within the Police Department people about are afraid to come out we need to next that thats not outlook in San Francisco.

Good evening my name is magic i came from the Sunshine Task force they found the commission in violation of 67. 9 and 67. 7 b and i think that is very important you recognize you cant do 24 again where you ignore the issuance that is a the public needs to have the notice of 72 hours what will be discussed by you on the agenda and i think this is clear no integer and it was really kind of sad you but put your staff and sergeant, next line item. Killing showing shaw her line of reasons and sounds like on over burned employee that need to not be used like this to get your job done i want to say that up until june 22nd meeting i thought the public was notified and hope this never happens again, we dont have been in fact, the Task Force Said if was no in their purview im surprised youre not prepared and building on an item that clearly says in that ordinance that you should not vote on something and have discussions and action without a preparation by yourselves well more commissioners had more knowledge and some only got to when they walked in and part of violation not posted also on the website when the emails went out and the person that does that sergeant, next item. Kilshaw made clear i dont blame her, she does the best of our service the City Attorney was never mentioning she said that so be thrown out and no substantive changes thats not true the item with the holes and amazing higher standard of penal code having a moving vehicle and shall and should different shall is mandatory and shall is discretionary and should is mandatory i hope youll know were not going to tolerate this to get what needs to be done so anyone else gets killed thats the point. Thank you for bringing that up next speaker. Commissioner i was here yesterday what i want to say today is that missing in our deliberations what is going to happen for the good of this city and county of San Francisco is the premeditation of our youth and young adults every time the commission is challenged so to speak you refer to the San Francisco charter the charter needs to be changed the charter needs to be change to reflect the times todays times all over the nation as far as i understand wheezed freedom and what is license and the bills of freedom is license and you may be trained to do whatever but. Always have to have their heart in the right place and understand what is freedom and what is license. And that comes from our training and that comes from your understanding. So young people our ought youth and young adults are now wondering if there is hope and we have a generation that became what they became because of hope but if you deprive our young generation of hope then thats despair we dont need that im leaving you with one thought we need to give our young adults hope thank you next speaker.

Thank you, Sergeant Williams. Good evening and welcome. Thank you my name is huey a local Hip Hop Community activist in the community for several years and happen to be a friend of notorious there is a big issue of Police Training id like to ask chief chaplin when will proper Police Training into effect we have a systemic violence from police throughout the country i understand that daily city is different maybe protocol but hopefully push that through i believe that gregory by sfpd that is very, very strange hes 130e7d to be here speaking on our cause on our on behalf but suddenly his house is rated and now like ill call this the super hero police are 0 supposed to be super heroes but cops killing unarmed black men an epidemic and a little been like this people blaming on cell phones that is a piece of that but lastly theres a sense of rage and hatred it permeates through the plod we have an incidents you you know white guys with guns threaten cops theyre not killed they beat the case between the cops dealing with people of color and white people and socalled model minorities that is you know something that needs to be changed and police need to be changed and Police Culture changed you guys need to work on many at some point that is coming to a head id like to see the problem resolved in the most positive is position for both sides to get on with the business policing is a tough job but yeah. Thank you, sir. Good evening and welcome. Aclu Sergeant Williams said a lot of what was said in a letter from jeff adachi and jennifer and myself that appears in the agenda that i and we will leave this room not knowing the status of use of force policy and not knowing even though a impasse is declared and even though cops have basically labored coauthored restraint and the shooting of vehicles a bad practice we at San Francisco still are living other than the policies that are labeled bad practices im really surprised on the working group your proceeding in the way your preceding it is very mystifying i believe that is sabotaging captain laid out a very infest and complicated program dealing with 2 hundred plus recommendations chief chaplin wrote a letter asking for Community Support those of us in the community and stakeholders who will have been working with you on this discouraged and i really am i was sure that was on the action agenda the fact your heading into closed session again is mystifying didnt require i dont know youre doing this.

Next speaker. And i will say we have overflow room 416. The intern chief and director joyce hicks i think so the Police Department is dealing with the racism but once past that they need to deal deal with the training the police needs to be trained to understand the public is not trained and shop making summaries the city will respond to a Police Uniform and start to do it in a holistic manner that will uplift the mindset of Police Officers maybe well come to an understanding thank you.

Thank you for thanking us. Mr. Gilberty. We want a chief of police that wants to be better okay needs to stop the militarization and the suicides of Police Officers they are second veterans in the country clearly it is not working for them either we need better policies new policies out of boxes maybe experiments with gun also belts what choices do we have continuing this awfulness of abuse the militarization of our police and the peace officers and the choke holds why not stop this it madness and why not do it here we we all have a chance and opportunity a little bit of good luck amen one candidate asked Douglas Mccartney advise on sending american soldiers to vietnam and Douglas Mccartney said no. You cant send american troops to a fight they cant recognize the enemy and since that time we mill transition our police and given them people to recognize as brown and black suspects we need a better alignment we want the Police Officers in the community to stay alive and prosper that should be our goal. Thank you 34rig9 next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Hi good evening jennifer from the coalition on homelessness as you know i was part of the Stakeholder Group talking about the use of force policy and i just want to review things a little bit and make some recommendations in terms of moving forward we have an intensive and rushed as you recall process to come up with recommendations around use of force that was a series of previous intervene meetings and work that was done there was recommendations that ended upcoming to this body that were approved and were not put in place and waiting for the Police Officers to do a meet and confer with the Police Officers association it, it is in Police Officers association in terms of having the least accountability possible when those processes go forward that shouldnt be in your interests it is a different perspective how to have an audible Police Department and Public Safety in terms of not using extensive use of force as well so we just want to strongly recommend because as we are halting those things they have policies that are the old policies that are currently in play we have for example, on the vehicle shootings shooting at vehicles happening about every 8 months in San Francisco so you know we really need to move along and have a very strong use of force policy the department of justice is recommending a full ban on shooting at vehicles should be moving forward the other two recommendations is that came from the Community Groups should be moving forward as well us from the ebs coalition of homelessness interface with Police Officers were particularly concerned thank you thank you, maam. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome. Hello, i grew up in lake view ingleside area you know something i at Ocean View Park i was beat up in the early noticing by the police at Ocean View Park i mean it was just it was an all the time occurrence being seen you know what will happen to our music i know like ours is a moving the fact of the matter you know and its been ongoing for so long and now instead of the abuse they shooting you know they really shooting and you know something this really has to stop because you know my niece and nephews is coming up i want them to say a normal life you know i dont feel you know that they have to worry about protecting themselves or being a place afraid to run when they see the police you know and if this was the car was supposedly moving not supposed to be shooting at or no chase especially a residential neighborhood so they say if it was a highspeed chase you you know and it wasnt like a whole bunch of crime activist take place in the area you know so i wonder why you know this person you know was targeted and why his family cant see him this is never unheard of and what is really going on with the on wooits is in jail it is totally not right and his house got rated why . Because he was a witness to the Police Nothing new nothing new so i hope we can make a difference if not maybe thank you, ms. Moore house. Next speaker. clapping. good evening and welcome. Hello, im barbara about being arrested actually whatever my defy divorcee share my rap sheet was not short my divorce was i have nothing against the police you can only go with the reports put forth to you false Police Reports are against the law but some people get away with that but i wanted to say when they have like mario woods the officers look like a bunch of dummies they were all filmed to completely you have to realize our on candid camera everyone has a camera and could you please role a more professional they all subdivided their guns and whats the glory of bringing in a corps one shot will do and if they ever try to train the Police Officers to wound and maim and not shot to kill they can have another shot it fair charging mario woods was not a big imperfect boy type he had a knife but broken his arm or something thought is sort shoot to wound only is a request i want to put forward here. Thank you. Next speaker. Good evening and welcome.

Good evening i try to keep my appearances on a Rare Coalition it is pretty bad because last time i spoke we were choosing the chief the community had no participation equip for a few of you who listened to the community and take it back the community wanted to say a seat at the table to choose the next chief that didnt happen supposedly against the rules of this body ive not seen the rules to choose the next chief you have a poa that condominium i was in the room i work with the task force that negotiated with in in going to well not prohibit those protocols to come into play in our meet and confer we promised that what did they do they said well rescind that agreement and not agree there is not only a lack of trust of the community what happens now youve picked the wrong community because we have youve never seen a room full of black people demanding justice from the Police Department usually white and latino wanted justice for the community it theyll willing to organize this case with mr. 34078d is one of the most suspicious cases i guarantee i see the footage theyre claiming a highspeed chase and ran over an officer that over has a scrape on his arm something is wrong the only grace is that an sfpd not 1409 him a daily Police Officer that shot him thats our daily grace but ill make sure we find the officers guilty they failed to kill him his story been told he is a stroke in the hospital when he speaks justice will be served and well be here to back thank you.

Thank you mr. Gilberty. Next speaker. Welcome back. Thank you i believe that one of our agenda item is dealing with officerinvolved shootings and whether the officers involved in the shooting should return to the force pending the investigation and the outcome of investigation and i would urge they innovate return to the force in fact, ill urge you discipline and terminate officers involved in officerinvolved shootings officer who shot and killed derrick in the city serves in the mission Police Department he attacked and wounded one of our fellow ever protesters members for the Police Accountability we know the Police Officer that shot alex 14 times found not to be competitive use of force posted open facebook why not burn his familys house down and taser his friend we dont need officers like that on sfpd if theyre involved in a shooting they shouldnt return to the force to active duty while the investigation is pending and after the investigation occurs i get it connor it is extremely difficult to the officers we need to remove them so that san franciscans can be safe from the very people that are supposed to uphold the law. Thank you. Any pursuant to p. M. Hearing. Sergeant, next line item. To vote to go into closed session action. Colleagues do you have a motion to hold item 6 in so moved. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . One of the major was asked to do is Water System Improvement Program and one thing i looked at is about the 4. 8 billion dollars wurthd of work and a lot of the work was regional. We looked at how can we make sure that we provide opportunities for san franciscans and people in the region and so we looked at ways we can expand our local San Francisco lb program. So, we thought about it and worked with general manager at the time to form an advizry committee to talk about how to include local businesses in the region. I was on the First Committee back about 10 years ago and the job changed over time. In the beginning, we just wanted people to know about it. We wanted to attract contractors to come into the system which is a bidding system and bid on some of these projects. Our second job was to help the sfpuc to try to make themselves more user frndly. I like that they go out of their way, have contractors trying to teach and outreach to Small Businesses and lots of creative ways. Help the community as well. There is so much infrastructure going on and repair, new construction that i think is helping to get construction back on its feet. My faiv rlt part of the committee has been that we have played a opportunity for many Small Businesses. [inaudible] Women Owned Business to come in and [inaudible] sfpuc. It is a great opportunity because some are so small they have been able to grow their companies and move up and bid other projects with the sfpuc. Everyone i was talking about with any contractor [inaudible] and super markets and things like that and i realize the transition was on the sfpuc. He got that first job and knows about the paperwork qu schedule and still works on this type of job, but he works with general contractors that also did other things. Pretty soon it is like he did that one and that one. It completely changed his business. My name is nancy [inaudible] the Office Manager and bid coordinator for [inaudible] construction. Worked on 10 plus puc, lbe contracts. Today we are doing Site Maintenance on the [inaudible] chr site and currently the gentlemen behind me are working on every moving and basic specs of plants. In order to be success you need to work hard, bid low and keep a look at the sfpuc website for future bidding opportunity. This is a Successful Program because it provides opportunities to regional communities that might not have opportunities to work for large scale projects.
