Fairness of it. Great. Supervisor haney. Thank you, Committee Members for having this hearing. Thank you to sheriff he to the r staying the entire time and to everybody here and gave comment and who is fighting here for so many different hearings. I thank you for being here. There are a cup tell take aways i have. This conversane ever session is not over. We agree the Facility Needs closed. I believe it needs closed immediately. It should have been closed before. You know, the fact we had an announcement yesterday from the mayor saying it would be closed in 2021 is a delay from what was said earlier. The city administrator said it should be closed this year. I am concerned about the lack of a plan. I was hoping we would get more details what is going to happen now. What are the immediate stones i . My fear is that the result is trying to back us into something we should not be doing. The sheriff herself said it would be horrible to send people to alameda county. Why are we acting as that is a viable option. If we havent done any planning to close in the right way. The only optionsh isala mead do cat. That would be the worst we are headed towards. Whatever the work that has been done and th the things we have n doing. Folks on pretrial. There is a lot to do if we, i think, commit to getting this done by reducing the population, looking at alternatives. Here in San Francisco. I do not support sending folks to another county or building a new jail. I support a plan to move forward and close this facility as soon as possible. In a smart way and way to build on the work done to think about alternatives. Lastly, i appreciate the point earlier to bring public saves in this. We have talked about the people in there who are working there who are incarsservated there. If you are spending time in there and not getting any sort of Effective Services and therapy and rehabilitation that is not the way we keep all of us safe and make sure we invest in a community where there we can live here safely. I do feel like we need more details and a real plan we havent seen yet. My commitment is to engage with the sheriff and the mayor and our cog league esand to hear the you are been genese incarcerate. Thank you. Do the members of the committee have anything to add . Supervisor haney, is it your desire to continue this or have this heard and filed . I woe like to continue it. Continue to the call of the chair. I move we continue to the call of the chair. Take that without objection. Mr. Clerk. Any other items before us today . No further business. We are adjourned. Thank you. San francisco, 911, whats the emergency . San francisco 911, police, fire and medical. The tenderloin. Suspect with a six inch knife. He was trying to get into his car and was hit by a car. San francisco 911 whats the exact location of your emergency . Welcome to the San Francisco department of emergency management. My name is shannon bond and im the lead instructor for our dispatch add academy. I want to tell you about what we do here. This is San Francisco 911. Do you need police, fire or medical . San francisco police, dispatcher 82, how can i help you . Youre helping people in their what may be their most vulnerable moment ever in life. So be able to provide them immediate help right then and there, its really rewarding. Our agency is a very combined agency. We answer emergency and nonemergency calls and we also do dispatching for fire, for medical and we also do dispatching for police. We staff multiple call taking positions. As well as positions for police and fire dispatch. We have a priority 221. I wanted to become a dispatcher so i could help people. I really like people. I enjoy talking to people. This is a way that i thought that i could be involved with people every day. As a 911 dispatcher i am the first first responder. Even though i never go on seen scene im the first one answering the phone call to calm the victim down and give them instruction. The information allows us to coordinate a response. Police officers, firefighters, ambulances or any other agency. It is a great feeling when everyone gets to go home safely at the end of the day knowing that youve also saved a citizens life. Our department operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. This is shift work. That means we work nights, weekends and holidays and can involve over time and sometimes thats mandatory. This is a high stress career so its important to have a good balance between work and life. We have Resources Available like wellness and peer support groups. Our dispatchers of the month are recognized for their outstanding performance and unique and ever changing circumstances. I received an accommodation and then i received dispatcher of the month, which was really nice because i was just released from the phones. So for them to, you know, recognize me for that i appreciated it. I was surprised to even get it. At the end of the day i was just doing my job. A typical dispatch shift includes call taking and dispatching. It takes a large dedicated group of fifrst responders to make ths department run and in turn keep the city safe. When you work here you dont work alone, you work as part of a team. You may start off as initial phone call or contact but everyone around you participating in the whole process. I was born and raised in San Francisco so its really rewarding to me to be able to help the community and know that i have a part in you know, even if its behind the scenes kind of helping the city flow and helping people out that live here. The Training Program begins with our sevenweek academy followed by on the job training. This means youre actually taking calls or dispatching responders. You can walk in with a high school diploma, you dont need to have a college degree. We will train you and we will teach you how to do this job. We just need you to come with an open mind that we can train you and make you a good dispatcher. If its too dangerous to see and you think that you can get away and call us from somewhere safe. Good. Thats right. From the start of the academy to being released as a solo dispatcher can take nine months to a year. Training is a little over a year and may change in time. The training is intense. Very intense. Whats the number one thing that kills people in this country . So were going to assume that its a heart attack, right . Dont forget that. As a new hire we require you to be flexible. You will be required to work all shifts that include midnights, some call graveyard, days and swings. You have to be willing to work at different times, work during the holidays, you have to work during the weekends, midnight, 6 00 in the morning, 3 00 in the afternoon. Thats like the toughest part of this job. We need every person thats in here and when it comes down to it, we can come together and we make a really great team and do our best to keep the city flowing and safe. This is a big job and an honorable career. We appreciate your interest in joining our team. We hope you decide to join us here as the first First Responders to the city and county of San Francisco. For more information on the job and how to apply follow the the Bicycle Coalition was giving away 33 bicycles so i applied. I was happy to receive one of them. The Community Bike build program is the San Francisco coalitions way of spreading the joy of biking and freedom of biking to residents who may not have access to affordable transportation. The city has an ordinance that we worked with them on back in 2014 that requires city agency goes to give organizations like the San Francisco bicycle organization a chance to take bicycles abandoned and put them to good use or find new homes for them. The partnerships with organizations generally with organizations that are working with low income individuals or families or people who are transportation dependent. We ask them to identify individuals who would greatly benefit from a bicycle. We make a list of people and their heights to match them to a bicycle that would suit their lifestyle and age and height. Bicycle i received has impacted my life so greatly. It is not only a form of recreation. It is also a means of getting connected with the community through bike rides and it is also just a feeling of freedom. I really appreciate it. I am very thankful. We teach a class. They have to attend a one hour class. Things like how to change lanes, how to make a left turn, right turn, how to ride around cars. After that class, then we would give everyone a test chance chance to test ride. We are giving them as a way to get around the city. Just the joy of like seeing people test drive the bicycles in the small area, there is no real word. I guess enjoyable is a word i could use. That doesnt describe the kind of warm feelings you feel in your heart giving someone that sense of freedom and maybe they havent ridden a bike in years. These folks are older than the normal crowd of people we give bicycles away to. Take my picture on my bike. That was a great experience. There were smiles all around. The recipients, myself, supervisor, everyone was happy to be a part of this joyous occasion. At the end we normally do a group ride to see people ride off with these huge smiles on their faces is a great experience. If someone is interested in volunteering, we have a special section on the website sf bike. Org volunteer you can sign up for both events. We have given away 855 bicycles, 376 last year. We are growing each and every year. I hope to top that 376 this year. We frequently do events in bayview. The spaces are for people to come and work on their own bikes or learn skills and give them access to something that they may not have had access to. For me this is a fun way to get outside and be active. Most of the time the kids will be in the house. This is a fun way to do something. You get fresh air and you dont just stay in the house all day. Iit is a good way to exercise. The Bicycle Coalition has a Bicycle Program for every community in San Francisco. It is connecting the young, older community. It is a wonderful outlet for the community to come together to have some good clean fun. It has opened to many doors to the young people that will usually might not have a bicycle. I have seen them and they are thankful and i am thankful for this progra welcome to another episode of safety on today is episode well show you how 0 retroactive youre home lets go inside and take a look. Hi and patrick chief officer and director of earthquake for the city and county of San Francisco welcome to another episode of stay safe in our model home with matt well talk about plywood. Great thanks. Where are we we if you notice bare studs those are prone to failure in an earthquake we need to stabilize those they dont lean over and plywood is effective as long as you nail along every edge of the plywood for the framing well nail along the sides and top and on the bottom 0 immediately youll see a problem in a typical San Francisco construction because nothing to nail the bottom of the plywood weve got to wind block between the studs and well secure this to the mud sill with nails or surface screws something to nail the bottom of the plywood. I notice we have not bolted the foundation in the previous episode thorough goes through options with different products so, now we have the blocking well a xoich attach the plywood. The third thing well attach the floor framing of the house above so the top of the braced walls one to have a steel angle on top of this wall and types of to the top of the wall with nails into the top plate and the nails in this direction driving a nail it difficult unless you have a specialized tool so this makes that easy this is good, good for about 5 hundred pounds of earthquake swinging before and after that mount to the face of wall it secures the top of wall and nailed into the top plate of the with triple wall and this gives us a secure to resist the forces. So you now see the space is totally available to dots blocking that he bottom and bolted the foundation in corneas what the code in the next episode youll see you apply welcome to the stage, father microcode father michael quinn. [applause] good afternoon distinguished guests, chief nicholson, chief scott, and all the wonderful people of San Francisco and the people from surrounding areas who are here on this wonderful day to ask gods blessing and to really recognize that we have indeed received gods blessing however, we name our god since a terrible day that we remember as the earthquake. On october 17th, 1989. For those of us who were around at that time, remember there was a moment when we didnt know what to do. The bridges were closed. It seems like we were really stuck. What happened is gods spirit within us took over and what happened is communities came together. The communities came together to not only address the immediate issues, but the more farreaching issues. Example, the San FranciscoInterfaith Council was founded as a consequence. Can you imagine that week all of our faith decided we should Work Together as a community of San Francisco and Work Together. Thank you, god. You had to ring the bell a little loud, but we got it. Thank you for the First Responders, many of whom risked their lives. Thank you also for the individuals who are not First Responders, but who stepped out. They let god work in them. They have been blessed since this time since that time with the divine intervention of our god. Our god has given us Civic Leaders who make sure that our rooms are safe. We continue to ask for divine intervention of that god to give us leaders to provide for emergency services, to provide for the welfare and the wellbeing of the citizens and the guests of the city of San Francisco, and we thank god for their continued vigilance to be prepared for all those occasions may god keep us all safe and may the next 30 years be safer than it was 30 years ago on this date now i have the great privilege of introducing maryland and breed. [applause] thank you, father quinn. Thank you so much to everyone who is joining us here today to celebrate how far weve come over the past 30 years, and i remember that day. I was actually a freshman in High School AttendingGalileo High School right here in this neighborhood, and it almost feels like it was yesterday. We know that 30 years ago the loma earthquake struck suddenly, and even though it only lasted for 15 seconds, its impact was tremendous. 12,000 homes damaged, millions of dollars in Property Damage all over the bay area, and sadly , 67 lives were lost before their time. Weve come a long way and we know that there have been significant changes in San Francisco. We all remember the embarcadero freeway. It is no longer there. Pays valley and the central freeway, and we have some hayes valley folks here with us today, it is now this beautiful, vibrant open space. Buildings in the civic centre that have been rehabbed to seismic standards, and of course, so many people who live in the marina. You remember the devastation that existed here which is why it was so important that this city implements soft story legislation to ensure that when the next earthquake hits our safety, we are more resilience. We are more prepared than we were, then. We all know that we cant prevent an earthquake from happening, but in this city, we have taken the Lessons Learned from what we know happened. That was a time where technology was a lot different. We didnt have many cell phones and smart phones and other communication devices. In fact, those of you who were there probably remember when it happened. I ran upside. I was on webster street between fulton and mcallister at a friends house. I felt the ground shake. It had turned upside down. We immediately ran outside and were like, what happened, what happened . We didnt understand what was going on. We heard the bay bridge collapsed, we heard this was going on. There was so much information. We did not have access to electricity. We relied on radios and relied on communication from others. More importantly, we were safe because we knew that so many of our First Responders from the police department, from the Fire Department were out there in the communities checking and making sure that our communities were safe so we are so grateful so we continue to be there for us time and time again. We want to spend out sent send out a special announcement a special shout out to the volunteers. We know when disaster strikes that our Public Safety officials may not be able to get everyone right away, so we are going to need to look out for one another over the years, we have really worked hard to build more resilient communities. Communities where neighbors know what to do, where they look out for one another so that we are the First Responders when our fellow neighbor needs us during these times so that we can continue to keep one another safe and provide support during what we know could be a problematic time in our city. We have come a long way and we are Still Standing stronger and more amazing than ever. San francisco, as we know, even with his challenges, is still one of the most beautiful cities in the world. We will continue to make sure that we make good policy decisions, good investments, and continue to work with all Community Members throughout San Francisco to make sure we are all safe. Today we remember t
