In january this year chief suhr assigned me to the special victims units and didnt realize what a big tang i had for me and was very [inaudible] to accept this position. It was then i began working with Domestic Violence advocates and city agencies in a effort to develop the best practice and provide service for our providers. In doing so, i have the wonderful opportunity to work with the most committed, drichben and dedicated people one could ask to work with. These are people who care about people and want the best possible outcome for those involved in a unfortunate live changing event. In order to provide the best possible service and practice we have to have knowledge of the service each organization or agency can provide. Today i can say we have that knowledge.

We can do this together so thank you for your deep partnership in continuing this work. Last but not least our own Police Commissioner sonia melara. I will date myself a little bit here, but im thinking of 1975 when we went to the Police Department and talked about Domestic Violence and the police chief said, what is your problem . I looked at him and we looked at each other and we said, what is his problem . Now im looking at this and thinking, we have come a long way. Thank you so much. Sonia i want to [inaudible] gracious in not saying the name of that chief the rest a googling chief in 1975 i dont have a certificate but have the upmost respect for everything captain santos has done through the drop program and the patient the group showed when they [inaudible] hang on to expertise and the work they have done and everything this group has done to make us a better Police Department. There is no way we get there without everyone behind me and under eddys leadership. The Commission Wants you to have a group photo. Did we bring our commission photographer . Everybody come up to the front with the captain and well take a picture. I think if we could too maybe we can get the [inaudible] captain ewins is back there. Come on captain ewins, you are up.

Thank you commissioner and that is a perfect segue to what i wanted to say, i started off the meeting by saying so many familiar faces and people we worked with for so long. What i think is extraordinary about this group is you dont do the group for reward or award or anyone ever saying, thank you you do it because you are trying to make things better for kids and families and it is really hard work and that is quhai it is pornts to recognize what you do and encourage you and honor it is slsh to do what we hope to do which is end Family Violence and do a better job protecting kids and moms and families. Thank you for what you do, thank you for being here after a long day and keep it up. Closer remarks from doctor joe marshall i will just say i worked with a lot of young people who live in homes like this so it is bad on adults and really bad on kids. Lets hope we can eradicate this and keep on moving. Great, thanks. So chief did you want to go back to your report now or anything further . Thank you. Moving along with the last sal bruitary we view of events. This weekendthe week and weekend were busy so we were able to navigate getting president obama in and out on friday and saturday before the air show started on saturday afternoon. As knroi there is restricted air space when air force 1 flies so that was anxious but there were no problems. The columbus day parade went well. Thank you commissioner mazzucco. It was as large as officer we have had in some time. A lot of that credit going to [inaudible] who feeling his italian pride he want ed to march with the other italian officers. Other things that of a high note, we did graduate cadet class number 4 on std and have a total of 56 cadets. 45 are assigned to various stations and departments 11 are down at the Public Safety building. Nbc did a feature on jason johnson, theophorouser that is doing such great work at hunters view. He is a reluctant celebty but does great work. On saturday [inaudible] the hall of justice. It is a Program Designed to [inaudible] Human Trafficking and member thofz San Francisco and oakland chapter of the National BlackPolice Officer association collected the donations. It was just a great event. Our cay 9 unit participated in a event, bark in the park. I didnt make that up. Saturday they did can nane demonstration with military personal elto show how some of the veterans get past ptsd. There was a couple examples in the media, the 3 referred to as drifters that committed a homicide in fairfax in marin county. We noticed all most immediately when we learned of that homicide the similarities to the Golden Gate Park homicide were startling. We reached out immediately to marin county and compared notes and then when the Yoga Instructor victims veem was founds in oregon. Very good case and that case will be prosecuted in marin county. They did make a apairns today but believe the arraignment is delayed to later in the month. Also there was a suicide at the marriot mar key which revealed a Sexual Assault occurred. It appears we have to wait for the test to come back but believe the suspect that committed the suicide is the suspect in the Sexual Assault. The victim in very bad shape at the hospital is expected to ser vive. Finally we had a fatal bicycle collision along market street. The bicyclist appeared to have gotten the tire stuck in the street car track jz traveling between 2 buses and went under a bus. Very sadly but hope achieve vision zero withinby 2024, this is our 17th ped or bike fatality of the year. I wish i could conclude on [inaudible] pedestrian and bikes 14 pedestrian and 3 bikes chief, do you have last years number at this point in the year . I do not as a comparison point. That is helpful. Commissioner mu zuke mazzucco, did you have a question . Questions for the chief . I should look at my screen. Commissioner hwang i ments to ask this question last week but there was a report in the media regarding a allegation of favoritism that academy and wondering if the department has a response the article was more inaccurate than accurate. I do know the recruit they are speaking of. That recruit was not extended in the academy. He had a initial failure and aloud to recycle which is often the case. He was successful in completing the academy and went into the fto program. He was struggling so this is often the case he was not extended and in the article it said 3 months and was allowed to go to a different station. Sometimes a change of scenery awards the recruit to be successful and he was not successful and no longwer the Police Department. Doctor marshall i just want to say and to the commission that officer jason [inaudible] was excellent. It is a great piece. I have it and if you want me to snd to you so you can see it i recommend everybody see it. He is just a great example ofif you want to use the Term Community policing and see a human being do it, it is jj. [inaudible] he makes everybodys job a lot easier. Chief i have one question it was about the neighbor concerns on hate rr straight hate street for the youth of meth there was has been Community Complaint about hate rr straight for the first 4 blocks of h hate street. Captain [inaudible] that you they bought meth, extusy, pills marijuana. We are tracking those cases through the das office and additionally he put more foot paroles in the neighborhood and we are supporting him with more [inaudible] as more versatile and able to get around tool. It is important to note that when it wassomebody may have mentioned i dont know if through next door or neighborhoods conversations that the suspects spent time in Buena Vista Park and it upset the neighbors further. There was a meetest last night, breed and san ford took the meeting and a lot of the energy in the meeting everybody thought it went well and well be helping with Additional Resources in that area until we get it to where the neighborhood believes it should be. Great. Great if you can keep us posted on that. Any other questions for the chief . Okay. Chief do you have the next item on the status update on 6. 09 . Welcome back up captain santos talking about the department [inaudible] 6. 09 Domestic Violence. The way i see it from my position it is working. I think it is very well constructed and like to give you a idea of why i believe this order is working. We first start by looking at the training that is given in regards to 6. 09. At the academy the department provides 14 houroffs Domestic Violence instructions to new recruit officers. Our peace officer [inaudible] requires that the department gets 12 vlt you can see by the 2 extra hours these recruit officers are getting additional and more valuable training than the required 12 hours by post. Those 14 hours of instruction include the department general order 6. 08, 7. 04, children of [inaudible] parents and 5. 20, English Proficiency as well they get present would the post [inaudible] domain and a video presentation. Captain santos can i stop you a second . We are hear hearing about 6. 09. We adopted it last year. There was questions about what the implications might be and changes to the way Domestic Violence is investigated and cros referlthism commission asked for the department to work with Community Partner jz who are here and working oen this to look at some of the way that the [inaudible] is rolling out. Nrfgz information we have now and what we are looking to. We asked captain to report on the progress. Captain sorry i didnt give the proper introduction looking at the implementation of department 6. 09 we look to see how it is impacted the future based on the past. We looked at the referls to the Family Childrens Services for 20s 13. There were 254 referrals and of those 17 children were removed from their homes, 6 were removed in respect to Domestic Violence. In 2014 there were 387 children referred to the Family Child Services, of those, 34 remember removed and 17 were related to Domestic Violence. In 2015, we had 364 referrals. Of that 16 children had been removed and 7 had been removed as a result of Domestic Violence. From the members that i have seen presented i think we are consistent. I dont see a spike in the numbers that have been reported. I think as a result our officers are really doing a tremendous job making referrals appropriately in the situations they are placed in. I think we have done well. Now, as far as a breakdown of the race of the children that have been removed, i dont have that available. I reached out to the Family Children Services and sieveia deporto the director of Family Children Serviceicize out of town but we have been in email communication and shell look into that as soon as she gets back. As well we also looked at the Family Children Service card we want to give to all the officers. There were 4 questions that the advocates have concerns about. Language that needed to be addressed. We reached out to Family Children Services and that will be coming shortly. I had a conversation with director deporto and assured well get this taken care of as soon as she gets back. Are you referring to in the last piece the referral card officers will give to for example, a mother when the Police Officer made a determination to call family and Child Services because there were the various factors felony and arrest and other things present, a weapon and gun in the home, all the factors in the dgo, that is the card given to the woman or parent and let them know what to expect . That is correct. It helps guide them through the process so they can work through a difficult situation in a way that would make it easier for them. That is right. Do you want to talk about the community par tisitation in the creation of that card . Yes, i [inaudible] have a opportunity to work the advocates [inaudible] was tasked with that responsibility. He represented the special victims unit and worked to make sure the language in the card is currents and represents the best interest of all the advocate squz the services they provide. As well it is a construction of the great tool for the officers to have so they are not in the field wundsering what to do next. Now they can give the card to the victim can confidence knowing that they have the opportunity to seek a resource that will help them. So the idea behind it is obviously therehas been a Domestic Violence arrest and because of the [inaudible] factors now Family Child Services is brought in so it is information for the parent and mother to know exactly what to expect and what resources to avail herself of which is important we have the Community Partners involved because the whole idea is that a scary moment for the survivor of the Domestic Violence to think there is another system to interact with. Is there anything else you want ed to the share as a update . Like i said, i cant thank our advocates enough. I cant thank the commission enough for supporting the work that we do. Domestic violence is truly a unfortunate incident and people that have to go through that it is a life changing event and an event nobody wants to go to. It is something children have to grow up trying to understand. Now we have the tools to take the children involved in the ensdant including the victims and survivors and helping them toward the future so think it is a great collaborative effort by all and want to say thank you. Okay. Any questions for acting captain santos . Did you want to inviteis there anyone in particular who youmented to invite up to speak as a partner to this work . Would anybody want to come up . Come on beverly. Come on. Thank you so much. We were here together a year ago last october and you were so gracious in adopting in looking at officer involved violence and new dgo. I think we still have work to do. I say that when im here, but we do. We want to make sure that the cross reporting with cps doesvent a Chilling Effect on the community and they will still call for help and not have a Chilling Effect [inaudible] the fear of a system is quite real. But i do think we made a huge difference and meet as much as we can and need to do more and think well be in better shape when we fully implement the [inaudible] questions that minush worked on the department adopted. I dont know if we are training on those yet. The know your rights cards will make this difference. We needed this yesterday so the sooner the better and new training and protocol to implement the djo. In some ways we have done okay but we havent all our tools in place so we have kind of been flying under the radar for a year so we need to get all those tools that the community and department and commission committed to do. Im glad the numbers are not terrible but lets get them better. Lets have earlier intervention both in the community and with Law Enforcement so we are not seeing these situations where cps has to step in to a already terrible situation. We have a lot to do and can be proud of what we have done so far and thank you for your leadership. I also want to thank [inaudible] from Asian Pacific islander [inaudible] the language for the card and it is a honor to work with you all. Commissioner hwang. In the past year i think i heard anecdotely about cases where the lap protocol wasnt filed and think there was one complaint filed with the occ regarding a incident with a moan lingual victim wasnt interviewed in the course. I wonder if the community or if acting captain santos has seen any of these cases or put that in the con texthave we seen use the Language Line [inaudible] is there anything to see if that protocol is working in the cases . Again, i read a lot of Police Reports and think 609 is a success. Quh you look at the language English Proficiency general order we worked very closely with Beverly Upton and samara marian making sure that the process that we take is smooth. We had some issues that we noticed that we addressed when it comes to reporting. We are using that Language Access line much much more and i think if mr. Marion was here i think she would state the same. We had meetings every month regarding the lap and at that meeting we scr a opportunity to discuss issues before us and any issues wevent resolved we are working to resolve so the Language Access line is working and we are move toog get a couple more languages installed so we can better serve a greater portion of the people that reside here in San Francisco. One thing that is a benefit about the Language Access group is samaracommissioner melara attends to the extent to a issue comes up where there is a breakdown either deputy chief or someone at the levl attends the meeting so they try to troubleshoot in real time. Doctor marshall. This is moving outside the scope of the [inaudible] if anybodyin the Domestic Violence cases that happened in the last year, is it still overwemingly male on female violence . It hasnt changed . The reason i ask is i hear the card being giver toon the mother. That is probably 95 percent the time. I wonder if that is still pretty much the scenario. Commissioner marshall to answer your question, yes that is still the trend that occurring now. There hasnt been any significant change so we are still seeing male on female battery. Thank you. Other questions from the commission . Abigail stewart kahn, welcome commissioner president loftus on behalf the child abuse prevention sentser we were here with our colleagues a year ago and want to offer or support for this order. Reporting of Domestic Violence to xhiled protective services and the continued work with child pective services and Police Department is good for children and survivors of Domestic Violence if we do it correctly. It is really important those charged in the city with protecting children and keeping the safety know about those kids and it is equally important we provide the resource tooz the survivor parent so they can say connected to their child and be there with their child. They are their primary protection. What we would love to see more of is continued look of data on this to make sure it isnt having the Chilling Effect and the cases are managed in Children Service squz to work with Children Service squz the Police Department to understand the deep complexity families struggling with Domestic Violence on a daily basis. These are not open and shut cases and the more we can educate officeerse, Child Protective Services the more we can support the children who are the victims and the parents who are also the victims of these crimes so thank you for your leadership around this hoard order and keeping the spotlight here the reason i ask that is because we want to eliminate this. What he is talking about the victims, the children who are the victims inch in the this case the women but dont see enough done with the perpetrators that put us in the situation we are talking about. We have to get to them so they dont do it in the first place. [inaudible] i need to know that so i can continue to step up the work in that area because we need to stop them from doing it in the first place i think commissioner melara has thoughts for you doctor marshall doctor masher one of the biggest voids that exist in the service is service for men. Unfortunately there is nothing that is funded in San Francisco or actually in most places the only place that services to men are available are mandated when there is a criminal case a Probation Department has services but that is about it. In those cases where there is no criminal case involved, there is Nothing Available and unfortunately that is where we are at and i love to think we can do something. I dont know how, but there is no funding available for men services when it comes to issues of anger management or stopping the violence. I do think that often times as terms of probation bl thereare a number of nationally iward winning programs in San Francisco resolve to stop the violence and a number of other violence wuns someone is held accountable and on probation which we know there are so many challenges [inaudible] once we get there are programs. I just want to say we were here a year ago and had a discussion 2 years before that and think this is a good example we dont always agree completely but we will reject the notion that well choose between survivors oaf Domestic Violence and children. We will Work Together and keep resolving the issues. It is good to see we havent seen a spike and need to stay vigilant. I appreciate the captain continuing. [inaudible] can help catch things maybe we forget. What we often say is policing is reacting to things happening but this is a commission that has a continued focus to make sure we see hoy the djo plays out and will continue to look at this and grateful for the partnership because it happens when you dont agree. The fact we are still at the table and talking about these things on behalf of kids and families so thank you to everyone who is here. Yes, come on up. Berry johnson here for [inaudible] i also wanted to thank you for the leadership in thir area and express or continued partnerb with sfpd. We are working on a protocol with captain santos and his lieu tinants and the cac and the child abuse prevention counsel. We are committed to working with advocates to provide improving service squz providing you all with the data you need to show we are not having a Chilling Effect on reports. Thank you. And thanks for jumping up. Amazing what can happen when we all talk to each other. Any, enough. Im off my soap box. Chief is there anything further . No that conclude my report. Sargeen call the next line item item 2 b occ report, review of actirfbties tivities good evening commissioners chief suhr and memberoffs the audience.

In november it will be the first meeting in november sense the body camera presentation next week and the Police District i will give the written reports for september and maybe by october by then. I believe that concludes my report. Any questions for director hicks . What would be helpful for our Body Worn Camera meeting is if you do have example policies that were shared with you at that convening of other departments that take varying viewpoints on when officers get the view the video tape . Im sure there was a ought laut of information but if there are spinge departments that shared their policy to you that would be informative me yes i would be happy to do that and what i will say is one of the experts on Body Worn Cameras pointed to oakland Police Departments Body Worn Camera policy we have that yes, i know you do have that and that is part of our working group packet so i will provide you with whatever Additional Information i gathered also on the same topic, i am very interested if anyone has data available. I know this is a new issue, but we need to at least i want to base anyition ks we make in the future on any real data available. Because all i have seen is predominantly opinions and so i would like to get some data, some real information. It is still very soft. Any other questions for director hicks . Okay, sergeant call the next item 2 c commissioner reports, discussion, Commission Report and commissioner report any reports . A couple times i have been asked by folks and citizens of oakland to talk about our method of civilian over vite in the city. As you know oakland is under receivership and has been for a while and will come off i think they said the year is next year or the following year and as much as some of you remember after the bart incident [inaudible] come over and talk about [inaudible] to talk about what we do in the city and they adopted some form of civilian oversite. A couple times i had people come over and corner he asking about the occ and commission. They asked me also and said can we talk to a couple commissioners, so the names are the ones usually petra and tom and madam president. I directed them to the Commission Secretary so if you hear the names it is because they really feel they need something very strong over there and i think they do also. Wanted you taknow that commissioner mazzucco the week before last i ateneded a meeting with chief suhr and mark farrell. We had close to 200 people at the auditoryium at marina junior high and it is important to hear there was extreme concern not just about all the auto break in squz people talking about how they are following stats and the arrest but more importantly there was a concern about not the homeless but the homeless in the district, their suffering from Mental Health acting out, causing crimes and heard from parents they ruforelady to go to the park and [inaudible] captain [inaudible] did a good job and had every officer assigned to the district. I think it is important we take note there was close to 200 people. Bev and [inaudible] was there and was not a pleasant situation for mr. Duffy. The people are very angry and it is reaching a boiling point thmpt reason i bring that up is because we heard of the meeting in the Park District and the complaints were similar. It is something the police promised there is more officers on the way as the Academy Classes graduate. There are issues out there. That meeting was about it same size if not bigger than the one in the tender line. Tenderloin. I would like to thank the chief to walk in the italian Cultural Heritage heritage. We inviding anyone who was aitalian or wanted to beitalian to walk in the march. I wanted to thank [inaudible] and also jewelio [inaudible] all irish and they are very good about getting a bunch of the italian marn officers to walk in the por aid. The officers brought their children. It is vore important in this day and age where there is negativity about the Police Officers it would good for the small children to see people being happy with the Police Department. Thank you fwr the officers that participated thank you very much. I was very proud to be a part of that organization i just have to report excited news about the Community Safety initiative. [inaudible] that a sit a counsel had there. They are having similar violent issues with violence in the community and they were looking to Interesting Solutions that involved young people. Apparently our kids knocked it out of the park and what the take aways have been is it is about communication and these kids talked about how much more they saw and understood what the police do and why they do it and we continue to be on to something in the way the chief has been for years of bringing young people in and doctor joe is the person that knows the most about this. When you had them in the radio show you said they should take this on the road so they are heeding your words and taking it on the road. Part of what they are talking about is they made recommendations of many of when the department is in the process of implementing now so will put it on the agenda in the next few weeks to come back and talk about how it is going. On not as exciting news i do feel i need to echo i attended a similar meeting in the tearville [inaudible] supervisor tang attended. The concern is car and house break in squz it is a sleeply outside beachy neighborhood that hasnt been touched by these crimes in some time which is very wonderful. We enjoyed low crime rates and folks are struggling with what to do so know we continue to be a part of that conversation. We are one part of it but i agree folks are letting us know they are not happy with regards to property crimes now. Any other updates from my fellow commissioners . Is there any Public Comment on 2 ad . Item 2 d, commission announcements and scheduling of items identified for items at future meetings next week we are at the Community Meeting in the tenderloin. The sal vation army at 240 turk street wednesday october 21 at 6 p. M. We will get another presentation on the Body Worn Cameras. We encourage people who have information who want to weigh in to come. This sh the second and final Community Meeting i should have said something in my report but want to make the commission aware that captain luzar who you are all familiar with was on his wayome from a incident where a person was in a altered mental state. It was resolved peacefully as was where a officer used the pet of a stolen auto suspect to get him from a elevated position. Dave was on his way home on broadway and got rear ended by a drunk driver at a very very high rate of speed to the point where he had to be hospitalized but prior to being hospitalized he had the presence to get out and make the arrest that is such a [inaudible] it really is dave luzar. He suffered a broken rib, a lot of soft tissue damage and is off of work now so keep him in your thoughts and prayers because he also suffered the loss of his grand mother who he was raised by earlier in the week so vore hard week for a very consciences and one of my best captains captain luzar if you are watching we are sending best wishes, get well and better and thank you for every aurfb thening you do.

Do we have commissioner Department Heads or city officials or staff to support this cause . Are there other Community Members dedicated to finding solutions to Domestic Violence . All right. Thank you everyone for embodying todays thytheme. We all have a roll in ending Domestic Violence. We are please today have mayor lee here. The commitment to ending Domestic Violence is ofed in the budget and last year the annual light of city hall purple so you will have to come back to see to city hall. He has a number of very important announcements to make. Please help me welcome the champion to end Domestic Violence, mayor lee. Thank you emily. Thank you to you in the commission, to the city agencies, elected leaders who are here to join me in a need to refresh our collaboration and to do more to end Domestic Violence. We all not just talking about reducing it but we should folkess our sites on ending it. Emily is right, began by making sure that the budget that we have and its a large budget but what i tried very much in the years i have been mayor is make sure i work with the board to have the budget reflect our San Francisco values and one the strongest values we have is together in agreement without any doubt to end Domestic Violence. In doing so, i want to point out that more people and everybody has a roll in this. It is not just our elaborate Community Based agencies who do a wonderful job and are key to the city suck says. It just just the departments like the commission on the status of women or me or elected officials, we should find more partners and increase and build a movement constantly to find more partners. We are finding out it takes the entire village of San Francisco and everybody in it to do the better job. But yes, i am very proud of our budget. Additional Million Dollars and knethat when we announce that not only where there smiles, there was con formation that the voices and ideas you have have, the penetration that goes into ignoreance or excuses or misinformation, we need to go deeper and wider with our message. This additional million is somewhat consistent with the direction we had in our entire budget. In the last 5 years, we have increased grants in our Domestic Violence programs by over 110 percent and we will do more if there are better ideas out there so come up with those ideas. Penetrate that ignoreance we know is out there and make sure we always do it in a cultural ly comp tent way and go directly to the youth and hit the next generation heavily so they are with us and cant always say it is not just Domestic Violence, it it sexual abuse and human traffics, all these areas we care about to do more. I know there are victims here and we need to work with you better because you can help identify things that lead up to the incidences you had to face and also about recovery. How do we recover completely and not leave people behind . How do we help the families and family members do better . So, symbolically the city will be lit up squand show purple and have that message out, but as you know these thingerize symbolic. We need to actually have that message taken deeper and wider as we speak so today im very proud to make sure that you know that our city is not only supporting, we want to be a great part of this and that is why a couple of announcements today on very important programs that we are launching today. The very first consistent what i just said is we need to have a lot more communication consistently, so we are providing very strong ads and we will infiltrate spaces on muni buses and maybe there will be more areas of the city to laurch a Education Campaign that we need to end Domestic Violence and help people understand what to do. This launch on the muni spaces begins now t. We have worked with muni and we are doing it smartly. We are not just saying lets put ads up. We actually took data from the Family Violence counsel. We looked at where all the 911 calls come from in the city and we concentrate our efforts in those areas first because we know that is where things are happening. This is smart, this is using data and using incredible counsel and people reports to us where things are happening and focus our energy on that and you see as some are wearing today and have 3 of these in different languages, you will see this all over but concentrated in areas of the city we know things are happening. Chinese spanish and english and more languages if we wish to make sure to do the right penetration, we have to make sure the message is out. It is not just the symbolicness of purple, it is explaining what we do. We are also and part of the mess nl here is is we created a website called, learn what to do. Org. Learn what to do. It is educating everybody about how to help folks in need, how to help people recover and how to recognize and understand the red flags that the commission has been so great in identifying that people on staff have identified. This is also part of that launch and learning experience so we have a website we can go to and it is cultural comp tent website so people can read it in different language squz understand what they can do to help. Im also proud in announcing today implementation that connected our City Employees directing to the community. We worked closely with mickey [inaudible] and all of the departments we have within the audience there were volunteers that committee [inaudible] yourself to be part of a Grit Movement within the city family of volunteers to create what we call, liaisons. People who help others understand and make sure things are reported. This is a incredible herft effort by the city and know the director of Human Resources is here and will speak 340er about it but im very ploud the City Employees. I had a chance to work along side for many of you with the last 27 years. Whether you work in the Police Department, in our commission on the status of women, a staffer on the board or in the Mayors Office or work in the City Planning Department or building inspection, i want everybody to be touched and join and talk and understand it even more. This is a great movement. This is something that we have been proud of and i know in recent years we celebrated months of no homicides and we met with unfortunate circumstance squz that reminds us how much more work we have to do. More than just standing beside you, we need to go to work and bring more people in. We need to have city hall with no room for standing with people who want to commit to do more and we begin with this great government we have which im proud to represent, but i want to say thank you to the Community Base agencies weez fund. I repeat again, you have been the key to our success. You have been able to talk to people and they are cultural challenging different languages and the things that hap in in the family. You have been able to outreach and connect in the right way. Police department, Public Health and social suvs department, responders to meet the challenge. We have to do bet squr what we are doing more and more of in government these days given a Strong Foundation is trying to revents things from happening that we know full well if we let go on the things, things will happen and to get more and more about prevention we need more people properly educated and trained in order to do that, so im very proud to make sure our city is lit up and proud for people to wear are these and the purple and make sure people are aware but mostly proud of the very day to day work the conversation squz break throughs. When you deal with violence and many of you here know what i speak up, not only a victim but people who know people involved in Domestic Violence. You know it is sometimes extraemly difficult to talk to people before the tension starts. This is the challenge it is easy after the violence happened to touch somebody. It is harder to get to those red flags and say, this is going a bad way. Stop. Slow down. Start talking. Start resolving it before it gets out of hand. This is what our city is privilegeed to do because we have a strong budget and we have that budget reflected in our San Francisco values. Thank you for being here today. Thank you for not only celebrating awareness but making sure it works more for everyone and thank you for understanding the more roles everybody has to play in order to get to zero homicides but also stop the violence.

This is very key and important and think it may be the first bystander campaign in the country, so you all are here not only to gather together to get things started for San Francisco but yet again you are leading the way for this nation. As the mayor mentioned we are running ads that address dv in all family relationships and spousal relaigzships and so on including lgbt relationships. The ads are run in english, spanish and chinese. As mentioned we used and worked hard to make sure this is empirically driven and data based so we dont just go out and plaster the city with information and ads that may not necessarily target those audiences or those memberoffs our community that need it most. The Family Violence counsel has been just exceptionly just so wonderful and so very helpful and so strong in staying focused on this particular campaign and so we thank them. We will also run ads on facebook so talk about a powerful partnership with tech sector leaders based in srf San Francisco, they are going to be a critical part of this particular adcampaign. Along with ok cupid and get this, grinder. And people media so we thank them and if any of their representatives are here today many thanks and appreciation.

Start to wiggle your toes so your circulation keeps going. We are standing. Im happy to be here today, my name is orch udand w asian women shelter and some of my coworkers are here too. On october first the [inaudible] we know this Domestic ViolenceAwareness Month doesnt mean this is the month we are aware of Domestic Violence this is where we push awareness harder than any other month the year and all the other months we are aware and growing our awareness and others awareness. When i look out across the room at all of you and when i driver around San Francisco on any daythis may be a marker of [inaudible] when i drive around the city and look i think about all the different ways all the different people who are working on cases of Domestic Violence every day. I think about crisis line workers and shelter advocates and Police Officer squz e[inaudible] member jz leaders. [inaudible] putting a story out about Domestic Violence. Public benefits workers, youth workers primeary care workers [inaudible] judges and family members and friends and loved ones and it is a lot of people who are touching Domestic Violence every day with a role. I am not talking about all the people that encounter it in life. It has been a hard year in the Domestic Violence field so i think about children who literally have stopped their father from killing their mother. I think about house mates who called the police in crisis to protect themselves and the house mate from a belligerent ex. [inaudible] lost lives to Domestic Violence. I think about the people who have access support from a the programs and services in the room and the people who have motand think about the people [inaudible] i think about all the people we have come in contact with, people thatser vive Domestic Violence every day and people feel thg inside dread and people in contact with those who are currently using a pattern of aggression and control. Then i think Domestic ViolenceAwareness Month is october first, what do i want to say and who are we trying to make more aware and what are the conversations we want to push to have more of this month than other months. What are the sooner moment [inaudible] not the sorrowful moments after loss. [inaudible] it is also more than just recognizing Domestic Violence happens in lgtq relationships. Woe want to go further than but if the conversation starts there lets start there. Start where people are. It is also more than making members aware of what we provide but the conversation should go there. We want people to know what we provide and want people to know we are not here to tell you what to do or decision you made over the course of your experience of violence and after your experience. We are not here to say you have to do a, bor you dont deserve support. I want peep tool know about the multilingual access model and trained advocates in 41 languages and try to grow that because we think you being able to talk to someone about what happened to you is a basic right. We will have a program and not just think about it when someone calls, and say crap, what language is that. We want people to know transpeople you can come to aws. There are not enough but there are some safe spaces for you in this city and area and other [inaudible] [commission back in session] commissioner we are back in open session and still have a quarm thank you can you call the next line item .

I example the first thing to point out is the first word is camp tlargz to be bugs and dirt and so long as you can get past that part in place is pretty awesome. Youre going to get to our cabin and why is it so small well most of your time is spent outside. Programming was our first step we wanted to offer a program that is, you know, makes people happy and leaves them with memories. Here and there. So more points. Ready 1, 2, 3. I think a big part is its coming from San Francisco it is real estate a kind of vibe people relate to each other and everyones living in the city and you can feel the breath of fetish air and the experience you get out here. I think it give us an opportunity to get away from technology you come out here and look at it here and not look at our iphones and you kind of lose users in the city and have a cup of coffee im corey a typical day increase no typical day. And just the first time being on the talent show and getting a huge applause and i never expected it is is r is a great experience im an executive chief here at kathy serve over one hundred meals a day for the camp mather folks. People love our meals and the idea they can pick up a meal and dont worry about shopping or doing dishes and enjoy and have a great time at camp mather grasping grab on. I like camp mather it is a lot of freedom and kids run around its great. They have all the things i dont have to do the kids get to do what they want to do and we basically focus on them thats our only job. I like camp mather because i can ride my bike. I love camp mather. The children are up here playing around and riding their booiths bicycles thats a great place to see what the word is like outside of the city. ux we are celebrating the glorious grand opening of the chinese rec center. 1951, 60 years ago, our first kids began to play in the chinese wrecks center rec center. I was 10 years old at the time. I spent just about my whole life here. I came here to learn dancing. By we came we had a good time. Made a lot of friends here. Crisises part of the 2008 clean Neighborhood Park fund, and this is so important to our families. For many people who live in chinatown, this is their backyard. This is where many people come to congregate, and we are so happy to be able to deliver this project on time and under budget. A reason we all agreed to name this memorex center is because it is part of the history of i hear to name this rec center, is because it is part of the history of San Francisco. They took off from logan airport, and the call of duty was to alert American Airlines that her plane was hijacked, and she stayed on the phone prior to the crash into the no. 9 world trade center. I would like to claim today the center and the naming of it. [applause] kmer i actually challenged me to a little bit of a ping pong the mayor actually challenge me to a little bit of a ping pong, so i accept your challenge. It is an amazing spot. It is a state of the art center. Is beautiful. Quarkrights i would like to come here and join them hi. Welcome to San Francisco. Stay safe and exploring how you can stay in your home safely after an earthquake. Lets look at common earthquake myths. We are here at the urban center on Mission Street in San Francisco. We have 3 guest today. We have david constructional engineer and bill harvey. I want to talk about urban myths. What do you think about earthquakes, can you tell if they are coming in advance . Hes sleeping during those earthquakes . Have you noticed him take any special . No. He sleeps right through them. There is no truth that im aware of with harvey that dogs are aware of an impending earthquake. You hear the myth all the time. Suppose the dog helps you get up, is it going to help you do something i hear they are aware of small vibrations. But yes, i read extensively that dogs cannot realize earthquakes. Today is a spectacular day in San Francisco and sometimes people would say this is earthquake weather. Is this earthquake weather . No. Not that i have heard of. No such thing. There is no such thing. We are talking about the weather in a daily or weekly cycle. There is no relationship. I have heard its hot or cold weather or rain. Im not sure which is the myth. How about time of day . Yes. It happens when its least convenient. When it happens people say we were lucky and when they dont. Its terrible timing. Its never a good time for an earthquake. But we are going to have one. How about the ground swallowing people into the ground . Like the earth that collapsed . Its not like the tv shows. The earth does move and it bumps up and you get a ground fracture but its not something that opens up and sucks you up into haddes. Its not going anywhere. We are going to have a lot of damage, but this myth that california is going to the ocean is not real. Southern california is moving north. Its coming up from the south to the north. You would have to invest the million year cycle, not weeks or years. Maybe millions of years from now, part of los angeles will be in the bay area. For better or worse. Yes. This is a tough question. Those other ones werent tough. This is a really easy challenge. Are the smaller ones less stress . Yes. The amount released in small earthquakes is that they are so small in you need many of those. I think would you probably have to have maybe hundreds of magnitude earthquakes of 4. 7. So small earthquakes are not making our lives better in the future . Not anyway that you can count on. I have heard that buildings in San Francisco are on rollers and isolated . Its not true. Its a conventional Foundation Like almost all the circumstances buildings in San Francisco. The transamerica was built way before. Its a pretty conventional foundation design. I have heard about this thing called the triangle of life and up you are supposed to go to the edge of your bed to save yourself. Is there anything of value to that . Yes, if you are in your room. You should drop, cover and hold onto something. If you are in school, same thing, kitchen same thing. If you happen to be in your bed, and you rollover your bed, its not a bad place to be. The reality is when we have a major earthquake the ground shaking so pronounced that you are not going to be able to get up and go anywhere. You are pretty much staying where you are when that earthquake hits. You are not going to be able to stand up and run with gravity. You want to get under the door frame but you are not moving to great distances. Where can i buy a Richter Scale . Mr. Richter is selling it. We are going to put a plug in for cold hardware. They are not available. Its a rather complex. In fact we dont even use the Richter Scale anymore. We use a moment magnitude. The Richter Scale was early technology. Probably a myth that i hear most often is my building is just fine in the loma prieta earthquake so everything is fine. Is that true . Loma prieta was different. The ground acceleration here was quite moderate and the duration was moderate. So anyone that believes they survived a big earthquake and their building has been tested is sadly mistaken. We are planning for the bigger earthquake closer to San Francisco and a fault totally independent. Much stronger than the loma prieta earthquake. So people who were here in 89 they should say 3 times as strong and twice as long and that will give them more of an occasion of the earthquake we would have. 10 percent isnt really the threshold of damage. When you triple it you cross that line. Its much more damage in earthquake. I want to thank you, harvey, thanks pat for as a society weve basically failed big portion of our population if you think about the basics of food, shelter safety a lot of people dont have any of those im mr. Cookie cant speak for all the things but i know say, i have ideas how we can address the food issue. Open the door and walk through that dont just stand looking out. As they grew up in in a how would that had access to good food and our parent cooked this is how you feed yours this is not happening in our country this is a huge pleasure im david one of the cofounder so about four year ago we worked with the serviced and got to know the kid one of the things we figured out was that they didnt know how to cook. I heard about the Cooking School through the Larkin Academy a. Their noting no way to feed themselves so theyre eating a lot of fast food and i usually eat whatever safeway is near my home a lot of hot food i was excited that i was eating lunch enough instead of what and eat. As i was inviting them over teaching them basic ways to fix good food they were so existed. Particle learning the skills and the food they were really go it it turned into the is Charity Foundation i ran into my friend we were talking about this this do you want to run this Charity Foundations and she said, yes. Im a cofound and executive director for the cooking project our best classes participation for 10 students are monday theyre really fun their chief driven classes we have a different guest around the city theyre our stand alone colas we had a series or series still city of Attorneys Office style of classes our final are night life diners. Santa barbara shall comes in and helps us show us things and this is one the owners they help us to socialize and ive been here about a year. We want to be sure to serve as many as we can. The San FranciscoCooking School is an amazing amazing partner. It is doing that in that space really elevates the space for the kids special for the chief that make it easy for them to come and it really makes the experience pretty special. Im sutro sue set im a chief 2, 3, 4 San Francisco. Thats what those classes afford me the opportunity it breakdown the barriers and is this is not scary this is our choice about you many times this is a feel good what it is that you give them is an opportunity you have to make it seem like its there for them for the taking show them it is their and they can do that. Hi, im antonio the chief in San Francisco. The majority of kids at that age in order to get them into food they need to see something simple and the evidence will show and easy to produce i want to make sure that people can do it with a bowl and spoon and burner and one pan. I like is the receipts that are simple and not feel like its a burden to make foods the cohesives show something eased. I go for vera toilet so someone cant do it or its way out of their range we only use 6 ingredients i can afford 6 ingredient what good is showing you them something they cant use but the sovereignties what are you going to do more me youre not successful. We made a vegetable stirfry indicators hed ginger and onion that is really affordable how to balance it was easy to make the food we present i loved it if i having had access to a kitchen id cook more. Some of us have never had a kitchen not taught how to cookie wasnt taught how to cook. I have a great appreciation for programs that teach kids food and cooking it is one of the healthiest positive things you can communicate to people that are very young. The more programs like the cooking project in general that can have a positive impact how our kids eat is really, really important i believe that everybody should venting to utilize the kitchen and meet other kids their age to identify theyre not alone and their ways in which to pick yours up and move forward that. It is really important to me the opportunity exists and so i do everything in my power to keep it that. Well have our new headquarters in the heart of the tenderloin at taylor and kushlg at the end of this summer 2014 were really excited. A lot of the of the conditions in San Francisco they have in the rest of the country so our goal to 257bd or expand out of the San Francisco in los angeles and then after that who know. Wed never want to tell people want to do or eat only provide the skills and the tools in case thats something people are 2rrd in doing. You cant buy a box of psyche you have to put them in the right vein and direction with the right kids with a right place address time those kids dont have this you have to instill they can do it theyre good enough now to finding out figure out and find the future for good morning, everybody and welcome to the San Francisco board of supervisors, budget and finance Committee Meeting for wednesday, october, 14, 2014, my name is mark farrell and i am joined by katie tang and i would like to thank sfgtv for covering the meeting for today.
