Perfect score of a hundred is not necessarily achievable so we go through the whole process and what we come out with our total needs that are estimated as 21 p. S. . 4 billion and here were sun shining it by the major programs by which the primary investment is muni one the big things from this plan it is significantly larger than the one we showed you two years ago good a big there of 5. 5 billions more a big component westbound fully assessing the states of replace specifically in the transit fixed railway the cable overheads and the parking the passing but also the state ons parking we added a lot of projects and completed a studies on the ocean subway was adams to the capital plan in this cycle about a year ago we undertook a Feasibility Study at the Fishermans Wharf extension of the t line third line this was excluded included and weve been developing a real capacity strategy to unlock the potential the light rail system to perform at a greater capacity to allow to it carry more people over time in total those 3 efforts adams about 3. 5 billion to that total another way to look at the capital plan by the type of investments were making weve categorized them into 3 categories so the first is restore which is kind of a state of good repair needs to rehab all our existing assets 50 percent the total costs or needs and the rest the other 50 percent is roughly split been enhancing the assets and making improvements to them to make them, if you know better or add new targets or the expansion of now vehicles or extend a light rail line a couple of examples there. The final we summarized the investments by the preliminary mode of travel how we move more and more into building complete streets projects this it is getting harder to begin this is the major consultant in a transit that has Pedestrian Safety or bicycle improvements is it so categoryized about 80 percent of the needs for transit about 10 for parking and traffic and the other 10 is split between pedestrian bicycling and traffic calming and other street improvements so the last piece is how will well be using this document as i mentioned earlier at capital plan is the foundation for the Capital Improvement program which were just beginning to pull together now and it every project that wants to be funded through the cit must start in the capital plan so the timeframe differ it will take a long range foreign the capital plan and shorter for the kip and by it the amount of funds we can invest in a 5 year period are roughly are a lot less than a quarter of the total 3. 3 billion versus the 4 point plus were seeing the 20year plan it is did not on the revenues to support the delivery of those needs and included in the capital plan is the first step of the project in its lives cycle from the capital plan gets opportunity into the cit and additional planning to understand how were going to approach the project the Community Outreach to make sure the solutions were thinking of our best alignment to meet the interests a lot of the design and environmental process and then finally construction and use of those improvements so while this is an important step in a project being identified there is many steps along the way where decisions need to be made and we need to be engaged and other system points that will likely come before this board so as i mentioned before this plan will be used for the regional and planning update in the planning area weve submitted our initial project list to the Transportation Authority to look at the counties needs for that plan bay area update based on the work weve done on the capital plan the individual plans strategic other documents that feed into the capital plan will continue it be revised on their own and then this capital plan will start the process again in two years to feed into the next cycle so just want to thank quickly a couple of staff annie chang u chung that joined us 6 months ago and helped us with the capital plan and alex the members of the capital committee, and also wanted to thank the Citizens Advisory Committee for providing us with finally prior to bringing this do you. Thank you excellent presentation and we look forward to whatever is come we have a couple of members of the public. Two people have indicated an interest in addressing the commission. Good afternoon good afternoon tom nolan im kathy from the policy and Program Manager in walk sf im here to competence how happy to see 762 million looked to pedestrian projects in the 2015 capital plan that is actually double the amount from 2013 were stealing excited we know that a quarter of trip in these the city are walking it is great to increase our investment in pedestrians the percent are the majority of victims the traffic collision so increasing the funding will help us get to vision zero were excited about the increase were curious to see if it is going to be enough to get us to vision zero this is a question that remains as projects get into the cit weve been watching that anxiously but it is a great start thank you. Herbert wiener followed by tone lee. Mr. Wiener and Herbert Wiener one question really comes to mind is this plan able to adapt to natural and manmade disasters now i believe this plan will incorporate reduction of present bus stops will require a longer walking distance and when you have buildings that are collapsed, fires and water mains busting i have to have available transportation it is going to be necessary so this should be one the criteria of the project just Roanoke County 1989 in San Francisco i was there i was present the city was severely damaged youll need adequate transportation and this plan must reflect this perhaps there should be communication with the Homeland Security department of this city it is really vital to do this otherwise well have one disaster for another this simply wont do for the Public Safety thank you atone lee the last person to thunder in a card. Mr. Lee. The capital we need the one billion dollars but in the labor costs is costing more 50 percent on the top of the budget the concrete and iron and car is only maybe 50 percent only but they do age liking just like taxi driver we do a lot and get a timely i went to the dmv and paid 4 hundred bucks they said i have a ticket so i cant know where i bring my case to get my money or why this is happened yes im not not trying to concern myself using only your mta but today a lot of people dont pay but the thing now is yes. You do need it and ocean view is subway is good but every year you have to look at this clearly a dollar you use is not easy to go away easy yes, he saw a lot of improvements like dui about say park and geneva and santa fe is an important spot a lot of People Living interest you ought to put the money there nobody complain but today, i have to cut a lot of office cuts and put the relabel on the top thats our power who is running the transportation last week new york only taxi thats why you have to put the color scheme an tmc the corruption more than you because they buy every assembly and bring the bill no commercial lists plate i saw this from the capital thank you. Is there anyone from the public who wishes to comment members of the board questions or comments. How are were going to get the oneonone offer. Yes. Mr. East to. You know i think that the first step to make this part of on advocacy piece with the 2030 that leads to half a Million Dollars in prop a approved by the voters of San Francisco it will chip away at the large number over time. I mentioned in my report a snapshot of the state of foyers in the state and the government has mentioned that this kind of analysis this you know our 20year plans addressed to barts and caltrain this is what helps identify the needs at the regional and state level the federal level so i think this is an important part of the advocacy you step one is understanding the needs and having a handle on what theyre to prioritize them probability not the whole 21 billion but in the spring fiscally 5 year plan for your k that can identify it is important and we have a requirement for a masters plan and as important to start to rely our needs only starting point in terms of being able to participate in future communications with the city region and state, federal level for the future. I think this was great and the process by which you did the analysis for the project was expressive and i know it go took a lot of work congratulations to the team that pit together the goals and the matrixes of it the only question in two years will we unfortunately is that number the main target every year will be increasing a little bit. We have seen it grow over time as new studies are undertaken and ideas are development so thats why it is the prioritization is important to say if we cant Fund Everything what are the most important things to seek funds that is the second part of the capital plan to identify and express the related permits of investment. Yeah. I wanted to express my deep gratitude for this work and everybody that contributed this is going to be a critical document it advocates are going to be able to depend on on well talk about measure 3 that confuses it happening in sacramento and d. C. This is the kind of stuff it demonstrates it, it is from the world were ours and the sky was the limit those are the kind of things well put into place before we get out and fight at the ballot and ends the losers we have to have something concrete to show well not be able to have have this without your great work that was a great report i courage everyone to ask him through it there is so much interesting visionary information im sure is going to give us a lot to talk about Going Forward but it is weve got tough exceeded oversees we need money for parks and schools and any number of other services so the clearer we communicate our needs the battery well be at winning and convincing our public and legislature and the electorate overall were worthy of their, their investments kudos to you and your staff and everybody that helped to make that happen and well see what we can do.

Hello and welcome to this presentation. Im San Francisco purrs since that time weve helped people clean up their criminal records. We created this to help you understand how this worked. Well plan or explain all the steps. After watching this program youll know what to expect after completing the process. Hi, there are im deputy and im part of the clean slate team. The first thing we will need to know whether your despicable to have our convictions dismissed cant be on parole or currently charged with a crime or serving a sentence and it must be from San Francisco.

So, now you have a better understanding of the gibt address benefits of the Clean Slate Program as well as highway to get started. Lets hear some common questions. Keep in mind those are general questions youll you may be seated with an attorney who be provide more information based on our circumstances just to be clear i dont have to tell my employers will my ejections. Yes. As well as convictions that have been dismissed. If someone runs a criminal background theyll see the charges but its dismissed. You will be able to legally tell your employers person never convicted i dont to tell anyone is there a way to rears them. Theres some cases you can. Maybe youre arrested because police thought you were someone else. Wound our arrest record is sealed you can say you were never if i wanted to clear my record if i was convicted of a felon. It is also known as a one letter officer the clean stating hit. May be able to get it raersz but if i went to prisoner you may quality for a correspondent certified document saying youre a lay abating citizen are.

The court might connotes more sentences even if it been submit you cant own or polgs possess a firearm. If it bars you from carrying an firearm eclipsing our record wont change that. Submittal doesnt rove a sex ejection.

Youre the leader we want to see your faces welcome chief colleagues and members of the public you are all sure that the Police Department went through a redistricting with the support of partners before us today at the Controllers Office this is a lengthy process for over a year involves careful analysis looking at data, and not just looking at data but bringing it to communicated members, commissioners, engaging in conversation compromising and changing things working with the department with captains and neighbors and members of the board of supervisors we saw randy and another person on a regular basis but im glad the entire team it here for the heartfelt work it was extraordinary at this time i called your boss and felt this team exemplifies the best of Public Service really a team effort on behalf of myself and the commission we wanted to recognize you for the incredible amount of work and from this department chief.

Director hicks. Thank you as chief of police can do did occ just received the departments response to the present condition on 21st Century Policing simply unable to go through a 45 package report i spoke with our policy attorney sandra and it would be a stretch for us but we will be able to provide comments by next friday which is the 18. Okay got it. Well, ill leave that to you guys to sort out and certainly a lot of good meat on the bone and a lot to read well lord it that colleagues the safe streets was passed in 2014 the good commander part of resolution was to keep at the forefront of our minds the commitments we made around how we were going going to make. Streets safe the enrollment education the department committed to and our partners from the walk sf and Bicyclist Coalition the idea to continue to have stories antidotes and various actors that use mediums to get around good and bad but how to measure if were going towards vision zero so this im proud to say were continuing to be very careful about the magics to make sure were on track as we sort through the tougher things that were discussed by the chief so commander. Thats correct commissioner president loftus tonight ill present the Second Quarter for 2015 and also here to presents will be captain of the Traffic Company and director susan of the Technology Division we worked collaboratively with president lufz and the advocates to design the presentation well give you tonight thats why i brought in the Technology Aspect they asked for an i cant want of the certifications so 20162017 as you can see 22 people were killed while walker their bikes year to date 2015, 15 killed while walking and biking 3 pedestrians and two bicyclists we are focusing on the 5 as a reminder speeds red lights and failure to yield to pedestrians and such weve tab lads those specifically and as we work with safer streets the a long time goal of zero traffic fatalities by 2024 weve partnered with every burritos in the city and in fact, with the steering connecting committee with representatives us and Fire Department, mta the vocalists and general members of the public and on to listen to give input and meet to achieve the goals and vision zero meeting yesterday kind of cool about 5 representatives from the city of santa fe embarking on their requests impressed and as far as theyre trying to on the goals of zero traffic fatalities so thats what were do in general what we do every day to captain in the traffic companies and the stations we focus again on the 5 preliminary collision factors by the way, we also focused on the 5 most dangerous intersections and mostly as i told you the last report every district captain comes up with an information and target the top corridor everyone knows where things are occurring they direction their resources in addition the Traffic Company predominantly works downtown but well go out to the section for circumstances to add enforcement along the corridors like geary and fulton so that said the Traffic Company are focusing on the 5 but have detail chores they have to go out and psychiatrist for blocking the block and the on ramps to theyll go out and do transit only lane enforcement we have now the new safer Market Street no right turns on to market in enforcement but the signs are confusing again to show you that on a daily focus on the 5 they have chores if you want to call them that were continuing on the special Law Enforcement operations the captain will talk about that and the senior stares our most vulnerable population and blocking the box and the decoys and the ever popular bicycle operations weve done one that was as you read in the Park District our lighter will be booming up were work with mta weve objected a grabbed well be purchasing radar cabins and officer will be out in mass doing speed enrollment weve received the equipment within the next come up of months in 2016 well start to do the enforcement and a lot of operations with the chp what we are doing differently when he go out and do on probation we invite the media out we dont just want those that are receiving this and drying by to get the education we want to educate a broader mass we invite the media out and the last category the community during which driven operations weve gotten complaints about skateboarders and pedestrians and cars when we can we go out and do those added special enforcements so continued education outreach the captain will talk about specifically what we are dissolution in regards to Senior Centers i think i got ahead of my flag Senior Centers and childcare services. Commissioners with the Draft Company our specialized housing enforcements for the Second Quarter of 2015 we Carbon Dioxide 34 total operations 20 were conducted in school donates and others in Senior Housing areas in addition to the total for general enforcements in those areas 16 hundred and 15 violations were issued in school zones during that time 9 hundred and 90 violations issued in Senior Housing during that period of no other educational convenes for the ot s grant with golden gate to attend that last week that was a good experience to be able to engage people in a nonLaw Enforcement setting ive not had an opportunity to go to the schools but the officers target 3, 4 and 5 graders in heros as man and on the inning side in the terryville and Sunset Elementary School all the lermdz third, fourth and 5th graders got a bicycle and Pedestrian Safety well be doing more with the ot s in the grant cycle some of the money was diverted. Captain you might go not know that what schools youve focused enforcement the 20 schools enforcements were focused on. I can tell you ive not got all the schools but back to school weeks ago it will come up later we focused on speed violations this past i guess august 17th though the 31st we partnered with sfmta they asked for Law Enforcement the majority of citations were the motor risks for speed betsey carmichael, kidnap academy and the Chapter School George Washington high school and notre dame east son charter and james lick and west portal so theyre regulated in San Francisco and the vehicle code where you can administer light air this is radar that is a company name we use those particular schools can be located thats why we choose those. Anecdotally i walk my children to school i founds microfilm screaming at cars going fast around the schools so it is important that we are doing the education and enforcement in areas people are vulnerable thank you for doing that. Thanks captain. Okay oh, according guard were working with the supervisor and have 6 more schools on board not the old conventional crossing guards by the way, we pay adults to do that now it is more of a greeting kind of educational for both patterns and kids and the officers interact with the kids so bringing 6 more schools on board Going Forward continue the education that the captain spoke about and continue the enforcement commissioner president loftus youll name the school. Ive never tell. Again great partnerships with the chp were doing more acts and continue what were doing i think that is positive the interaction that the city bureaucrats have in objecting vision zero is great i think the advocates if they had a chance to come up would agree im speaking for them lets go the to the data it is all good news we are on par to write as many citations as last year total wise and wrote more last year than we ever have what is most for the captains it is really getting down to the officer on the street were focusing on the 5 collision factors i see that f from 24 to 34 percent citywide i see the substantial within the year and if you look those totals if you back ousted the special operations that the transfer company does theyre up 60 percent i have data it shows we didnt include on this slide and the southern station but remember the traffic companies primary for the Southern District were getting feedback. Just kidding i think that is better. Well have time for questions at the end. And then we get into the next slide the mode and a change here slight change, of course, were focusing on the most dangerous mode of transportation that is cars you can see hugely 98 percent, 96 percent last year earlier and 3 percent of pedestrians were at 98, 2 and 1. Okay. Again, by mode as you can see the change january to june of 15 and then the previous slide was the Second Quarter and page 8 citywide traffic violations as you can see the not onlyly up one percent and again last year, it is hard to beat last year, we wrote more citations in the history of the department as you can see so folks on the 5 pretty much up red light cameras down we took them down because of the construction theyll go back up after the construction and mta said the timing was changed on the light and staff find a bored of the top 5 there is other violations that could fall into the 5 in some districts it is pedestrian violations but so you see a drop there but everything is up sunsetly. Commander it is not just splitting out the pedestrians and bicyclists and cars by district but by violations to our point the focus on the 5 violations can be focused on the modes of vision were dlaerg to know what the violations are within the sectors all right. Well include that in the next report. Well challenged by the data it is a work in process. Exactly. So citywide by category this is a graph showing the great improvements again drooild and focusing on what the preliminarily reason people are colliding and 34 perseveres 26 percent this is an actual change and then here by station everyone is up number 7 is primarily covered by the high the traffic companies how much theyve increased the focus on the 5 breakdown central at 21 percent and bayview 33 and mission you want me to keep going. You can fourth from the previous slide and again, if we back out the special operations the Traffic Company handling theyre to 60 percent focusing on the 5 and then. Your pie chart showing pretty much the same thing the real focus on speed and it will be increasing well see substantial in the next year abag because of the lights enforcements well train the officers in the use of equipment i think that mta really went after the grant to gain those because automatic Speed Enforcement is not yet legal in the state so theres another way of capturing the most disruptive if you want to call it the mode of collisions and finally for my slides the fatalities by mode the vehicles are no vehicles this year during this reporting period im sorry modifies motorcyclists one more and bicyclists static and bicyclists down one were down 13 percent year to day as of this reporting. So im not going to answer our questions bring you up our can i i o susan to talk about the citations this is interesting. Okay welcome. Thank you. Merit. Good evening, commissioners chief suhr and director hicks just an did you want on the east side citations thats the east side citations it is the writing of a citation on a smart phone so today for the most part 75 percent of the citations are given to you on a pipers in the future the police will be writing the citation on a smart phone printing a copy of the citation on a thermal on the truck of their car looks at like a safe way recipe and the information will populated not only the crime data and the court and everyone that needs the day well have instantly available detailed trackable information contracting that to the process some of you might not know the process it is 60 years old the sergeant retired in 1980 basically the officer writs writes the citations and takes the copies to the Record Keeper they read the citations and stacks them in piles and then kick marks because remember theyre on piece of paper what the citations are and gathers the citations and drives to the records room and puts them in the record box the courts pick up the citations they sends them to india where key intra operators. Come on. They enter the citations and into the database. This is no joke unfortunately and it gets into the Court Management system and so this is why calendar mann index and chief suhr i like thaerg their hair out this is such an old collect i didnt process so were leaping ahead to do this on the phone and as i said well have constant access to the information weve made progress on the back end instead of waiting for the hand count wear i told the people in i understand type the citations but we now have those in justice were pulling the information from justice to electronically record and capture about 90 percent the citations so well be able to stop the hand counting process thats on the back end but the front end having the Information Available to take it the reason you you know we havent been able to find another Law Enforcement agency in the country that do citations on a smart phone we think there are a couple that do parking sites but it is fairly New Territory the reason we are competent were already doing our incident reports on the smart phone those are updated and the same thing weve got to print it out in a certain forefront were confident were doing that as our own project were using our own technology the plans we have we had a funding of 6 hundred thousand dollars he within the printer for the vehicles will be 2 hundred and 50 and some assistance well have agriculture and 2 5000000 for training and prelims we have to have a pilot up and running by the end of the fiscal year. June great yes. And my understanding is that the board of supervisors and the mayor allocated some funding for this project in particular 8 citations in the last budget. Of a hundred thousand yes. I can our partners from walk sf and the Bicyclist Coalition joined us this come up in january of 2014 when we were at board and supervisor wiener said why in the Realtime Data where the citations are you know that takes time but to have an actual plan in place. Weve had a great process with the Advocacy Group and the Court Documents well select the gender dictated were going to collect timing is very good another this project. Commissioner turman has a question. This this is now to be applied to traffic stops. We already have traffic stop data this will give you the information. I mean to the technology so it could be recorded simultaneously. Yes. It will yes. Yeah. I mean not all of the information is on the printed so i guess but we select it and print whatever and send whatever we need from the other data. Exciting thank you for the update. Uhhuh. And director youll be able to email the citations right. Thats pretty cool you dont have to get a paper copy. You have to get a paper copy by law. My bad. A good option to have. I like the emails i always lose them. But chief our deep requirements of the california joke code is amazing. Overall questions colleagues. Commissioner melara. I understood most of presentation but was not sure i understand the fatalities by mode how did the pedestrians cross of the fatality or they died. They died. The mode is what the person who is deceased was going by the pedestrians were killed bicyclists were killed or cars in this case is that clear . So they were walking. So the pedestrians were walking. The pedestrians were walking. Who killed them. Hit by a car. When you talk about the vehicle. Right during this time none died by a vehicle. And this was pedestrians. No drivers were killed. Okay. Commissioners wong is there a partner that tracks what happened after the citations are issued what happens to them in the traffic courts is there a higher demands on the sfpd when we go to travel court do we have the partners monitoring what happens at the back end after the citation. In general or at a scene of a collision. If we have an increase in the citation and the focus on the 5 are folks getting the lesson doerd. If you have evidence the ticket you pay the fine i know that i would probably learn a lesson but not everyone this is speculation on my part. Do we know is there an increase in the folks paying fines or warranties im curious do we know. I dont have that information can we get that. Well check with the courts. I think another way of saying that last year 54 percent of increase in citations so the citation is not where it ends it has to go through the process do we know anything about how this is going. Well find out from the court but were instead in our daily soigsz for blocking the box so none it learning a lesson. Im sure theyre watching tonight that will change. Commissioner de jesus. That is impressive and just a Job Well Done im glad we got together with the Bicyclist Coalition to put this together and hopefully, well go past it thank you very much. My question commander is it seems like a number of captains have stepped forward their citations focused on in the 40 percent range weve not seen it quarterly i paid attention to the numbers i dont know if there are particular shout out but looks like captain at northern and captain silverman is a steady champion of 5 and inside at 40 and captain schmidt. In favor thank you im sorry my station too captain in the terryville i dont know if there was is particular recognize of folks that obviously theyre getting Great Results anyone else to be recognized for in their efforts. The traffic folks. It is so handy youre here thank you for your great work. No, but i will pass along our compliments to those specific captains and you know that were now studying the traffic it will come up for those who are professionalism well and those not performing well. It is important for them to know as those things are presented to us there is a note of increase and all the things are happening it is just a great, great to see the stations and everyone is doing the same with different challenges to get to the numbers it is good to see the increases here. Anything else. Do we want to invite. Partners from walk sf and Bicyclist Coalition to add ill say i did take a ride with captain stanford and the Bicyclist Coalition through the wiggle and got on a bicyclist and rode the wiggle so thank you for that i recommend it all my fellow commissioners that issue is important you cant understood it until you walk in someones shoes we with the mode of transportation we rode and get in cars i rode on the bicycle and survived. Good evening, commissioners im thrilling the policy decoration at the Bicycle Coalition and congratulations to the excessive on this recent new newly married bliss after the presentation on the citation process we can take a deep breath and thank you to a captain maddox we were very excited to support that budget request this year and help to push it through im excited to see the results that is implemented were excited about that and along the lines of giving the recognition to the captains and who are making great process on fiscal focus on the 5 and great progress and impressive results in a lot of the stations and in particular i want to highlight captain silverman he put in his weekly article in the richmond paper a piece couple of months ago on why focus on the matters for his neighborhood and communities and it is a really wonderful articulation of why focus on is an important part of policing and keeping our communities save i highly romanced recommend it i also want to try to be brief but highlight the beginning of captain madding indexes presentation she talked about santa fe theyre taking the San Francisco model with with the 5 approach that is important for you for your us to see were the leaders this is scary and trespasser first degree were figuring out this out but other people are watching us this is what they want to do this is exciting for all of us and hopefully, well take that honor and responsibility going to finish two things were excited to, work with captain sanford and finding ways to build that partnering and keep good lines of communication open between the telephone to 18 hundred people that bike the wiggle everyday in his officers out on the street and working with that pleased to see the bike board is upcoming e up and running and happily take any of you on a bike ride commissioner president loftus had a great time and love to take anyone else out there send me an email and finally want to reiterate i think this is actually, the biggest increase on the focus on the 5 citations weve seen in wore quarter since the resolution passed we have a lot to do to keep people save this is a great moment and progress happening thank you. Thank you tyler and nicole. Good evening, commissioners my name is nicole with the walk San Francisco i want to echo lots of things that tyler said how fantastic for the 56 numbers are up drastically so thank you to command mann index for really taking ownership over that and that goal and you know modeling that with the rest of the police force and thank you to the excessive as well for making sure that is part of your mobile status meeting i had the pleased of attending one it is great to see the leadership and captains and their saerlts on focus on the 5 and Traffic Safety and how you know sharing best practices this is what richmond is doing it is working have you thought of that that sort of thing i hope that is part of the reason it is contributing to that theres a the commitment for your staff i appreciate that i also wanted to share you know commander mann index talked about the Vision Zero Task force and another that meeting the trauma surgeons presented data on traffic injuries in San Francisco what we sue 50 percent of Trauma Center patients are people that have been in traffic related injuries in San Francisco this is really, really rack and shocking and scary we also saw about hundred and 50 percent more severe injuries than getting captured in police data not a fault of the Police Department we are you know people have injuries that dont necessarily get recorded even the magnitude were capturing that assemblies so large with 3 people hit by cars everyday is just a fraction and this continues to be one of those preventable Public Health crisis that impacts all the people in the community and impacts parents who deciding whether or not they wanted to walk to school with their kids and bicycle to kids top reasons parents dont walk or bike to school so our walk sf and sf b. C. And the department of Public Health and sfpd courage the kids could walk and bike to school we have bike to school on october 7th hope to see you guys out and about and commissioner president loftus well be walking with our kids as you usually do on that note great to coordinate any School Outreach for sure we have staff in the schools youre working in so lets make sure we are connected on it and last but not least im really, really excited that to have susan here to talk about the collision or is citation data and the app that becoming a proprietor for sfpd having that cat is so important you know as we get more and more information on where citations are happening we can start to hone in on the 5 but the 5 most dangerous corridors and district and take into account the Law Enforcement at the Task Force Meeting yesterday sfmta and sf dpw recorded the impacts of save streets as best campaign that includes education on 4 high injury corridors the enrollment has the biggest impacts on drivers yielding to pedestrians it is working and Law Enforcement is a really, really important piece of that as much to continue to monitor where our crashes are happening and making sure our enforcement is directed at those places and at those behaviors well continue to make an impact on the big numbers. Thank you. Thank you nicole. Can i say something. Commissioner marshall. How far are we into this i remember the meeting with the Public Safety meeting is it 2024. Yes. 20 years from 2014 i did the math. How far. A year and a half. Not very long. Ill say i believe that the Police Department was one of the first adapters of vision zero and not just people that adapted it in theory but puts action behind that so a year after that resolution or vision zero candidate that was 44 percent in all sizing but anyway. My thought that was probably that is why i wanted to get perimeters on the time maybe too soon but a number of factors that cited as hopefully being able to get to the zero looked like the department is moving steady in its efforts of citation but again my question is prematurely but how were how those when we convene and look at the first stage maybe 3 or Something Like that so, yeah not just the citations but i mean the overall efforts to year and a half is too early but early indicators how things are hoping to get to the zero number which is obviously a lot to go but found out early on those are parts youll hope to get there and you know not year 8 i havent looked it thats my only thought. Thats right dr. Marshall. Okay. So what tyler said from the gallery a two year action plan and dr. Joe wants to make sure we get it in the maybe the First Quarter of next year after 2016. So commissioner melara. Im wondering was there a reason why one of the traffic violations to focus on was not included using the technology. Yeah. We get it request a lot it is cypresses youre talking about cell phones distractions. The pedestrians almost get rotunda over using the technology. It is very high but when youre out there at the scene not many people witnesses a person with cell phone or reading a book or doing something other than driving we focused on the top 57 speed or running relies or stop signs it is again hard to prove the fatality on third weve gone after the cell phone the cell phones was based on the approximate and his state but generally dont have that does that answer your question. Okay. Yeah. Anything else i want to thank commander mann index and captain and traffic absolutely the reason we spend so much time because of the prevention and the Public Safety model we can do more to prevent those tragedies that have happened so excellent work thank you all what exists me the most it the fact we have Community Partners engaged not only when it is going well and keeping the lines of confusion open i really think this is what cities look at how to work would the culture crashes i congratulate everyone for continuing to work through this and look forward to hearing from you guys at the next meeting. Thanks chief. That concludes my report. Chief i neglected to enlightenment the captain and the accreditation and the bias training sings e since were giving out congratulations thank you to captain conley as well. He did a lot of work.

Thank you for your report i had a different question if i could so there was a press release today a lawsuit by aclu for the please be advised the ringing of and use of cell phones and other Electronic Devices are prohibited. Involving use of force against a man named travis hall i saw a comment i think his mom said there was a complaint to oak and the occ did nothing a hurtful comment because of the outreach in terms of trying to get folks to file if can you examine that was a report that was received is it being investigated . Commissioner wong ive not seen the press erase im not fall familiar with the comment the mother made. An incident of april 2015 i dont know if she filed it for the young man detained by 4 officers and released afterward ill send you a copy of the press release i that that that is a damaging effort to the occ to build trusted from the community. Commissioner wong it is i certainly concur with you that when people say that the occ has done nothing it isnt good press but thats not the end of the story the occ receives complaints we investigate those complaints and when we receive the complaint we go through a process and contact from the complaint is not a walk in or phone call in were contracting the complainant to take that complaints statement to conduct an interview that is recorded and we investigate and i believe i heard you say that the incident occurred in april. Right.

Colleagues do i have a motion to adjourn. All in favor, say i. I. Opposed . Motion passes were adjourned thank you, everyone happy arbor day, everyone. We have a lot of volunteers from the Richmond District center. I grew up in the california area, ended up at ucdavis. I made my way out to San Francisco in 1984 when i was a college student. I remember growing up on clement street. I have always lived around in richmond area, just being around a unique area of the richmond, discovering San Francisco in the 1980s. I am hoping we can not support Small Businesses like this because they are the unique character that makes neighborhoods like this so rich and lively to live in. I have also been active as a community organizer. I worked at the chinese progressive association. I also worked at the Mental Health center in the Richmond District. I have always been passionate about civil rights, equality for everyone. I have a 10yearold daughter, so having a girl has made me much more sensitive to gender equality issues. I guess i have always been vocal about my politics, but as a supervisor, i have to listen to other perspectives and making decisions. Very soon there will be of much more seniors in that area. We are trying to focus on whether a stop sign or stoplight might help. Tried to look at issues of senior nutrition programs, alzheimers research, even housing policies that allowed our buildings to become more seniorfriendly. Also looking at how to support senior services, neighborhood byneighborhood programs that allow aging in place. People who are getting older helping each other stay in their homes and communities longer so that they can contribute as long as possible, as opposed to institutionalizing them. I support working families, livable communities, definite drawn support for the small business. Even in my district, there are pockets of poverty and many people of work. So it is also about supporting those under employed people, Small Businesses in this difficult economy. There are a lot of vacant storefronts, so we are trying to find people to read these spaces. There is a bookstore over there. This way there are a lot of businesses that have been closing. I support the Small Businesses versus more chain stores that seem to be coming in to some of the vacant storefronts. I am ting to be sensitive to the local merchants because they make up the unique character and diversity of our neighborhoods. You go to lafayette. I was just there reading to a bunch of kids. I think i was reading to fifth graders. What grade are you in . As a member of the school board, i know strong schools in the richmond is key. Also, from the birth to 5 commission each commission has an organization to oversee prekindergarten kids. I want to ensure that the state level that we advocate strong support for Young Children and their families, Good Parenting support as well. Often, we have to govern with our hearts. 80,000 people in the Richmond District sometimes have different needs than people in the Mission District or bayview hunters point. So often, elected officials and other hard working staff have to make tough decisions. They are political in nature, in many ways, even though people denied that, but at times, many of us are politicians, but we always try to govern with our hearts. I have always considered myself having progressive politics. I believe in a vision of people having their needs met. I believe in equity. When people have special needs, we should be considered of that. I also feel that working families in the lowest income population should have a safety net. We should have civilrights and equality rights for people as well. If that is being a progressive, then i am proud of being a progressive. Mayor edwin m. Lee good morning, everyone. Welcome to our citys Navigation Center. I have this opportunity to talk about the partnerships that weve created in our latest but on going challenge of helping to house our homeless the best we can as a city. Let me begin by again saying thank you to former mayor gave and articulated a plan to end homelessness in our city and got ought of all of us in the city to give this high attention and our city to create homeless programs and homeward bound programs and incentivized us to look at as many model as we can to housing rubric first and thats been our mantra. As i approached the challenges that i have with more people having suffered homelessness and working with our Public Health agencies, our homeless connect, our Homeless Center and leadership through the stories that they continue to provide to us about the challenges that families and youth and others face along with our Human Services agency, we also wanted to make sure that we formed additional partnerships to help us with this challenge. I think one of the best partnerships that we form is with our Inter Faith Council because of their on going commitment and i know members of the board are here. I want to say thank you to our local representative here david campos and also mark ferrell and Julie Christensen for their leadership and the rest of the board as we look at this model at the Navigation Center and try to figure out in this partnership what else we can do and do better at. The Critical Partnership with the interest Faith Council is not just the leadership they have been and working with el nino but working with our Human Services department and all of the agencies that want to help in this incredible challenge of People Living on our streets. We must do more and we must do better and learning from the very examples that weve given to tomb homeless connect when they are at bill gram and other parts of the city and we try to form even better ideas. The opportunity came about when the Inter Faith Council had an opportunity to present to us a philanthropic idea to work with us and other agencies to put our best ideas forward at this Navigation Center. This truly is a center where people who are homeless and living on the streets can gets services at one center. Its an attempt to take on the challenges at our homeless shelters and input on the street and those that are working through the Incredible Services at the Service Center working along the streets along with working with our public works department, our Police Department to try to provide the highest human touch for people who have the tremendous barriers of living on our streets. This Navigation Center has some of its good values as we try not to say no to anybody. That when we invite people we try to invite the relationships that they built over perhaps sometimes many years on the streets, taking care of their pets, the things that they have a sense of belonging with. Identify their property and take care of that and have a place where they can immediately clean up, have immediate attention on Health Services of support, mental challenges that they might have on the behavioral side of it as well as just basic food and the Inter Faith Council has been able to attract along with the Episcopal Community services a variety of food stock such that those can be here can have access to Healthy Foods 24 7 can get the shower and health needs on an on going basis on these sites with these portables that used to belong to Public Schools and the help of public works and againstity of philanthropic donors that weve been able to have very portable showers and bathroom facilities all in an effort to work with supervisors david campos because he was not interested basically in having the traditional shelter here and supervisor which would be responsible to do and as we talked to other supervisors, we wanted to present a model. I believe now given that some of the mayors that came through some of the conference of mayors that this would be the international model. Mayors from seattle, portland, vancouver, have sent delegations here to review what we are doing here because they are facing similar challenges in their city and we are comparing notes along with los angeles, san jose and oakland. And by all accounts, our effort and our model here has demonstrated that we have done better and we can do more and better. Such that, this Navigation Center given all of its collaboration, the systems we put in, the nonprofits that we put in. The surrounding and embracement of our clergy as well as those that are advocating for the rights of homeless to be respected in a dignified way. They have all said i think without a doubt that this Navigation Center is the right way to do it shouldnt surprise you with some statistics that over 200 people with the last 5 months since this center has started has been served that 60 have moved into permanent Sustainable Housing off site. 34 interesting enough, 34 individuals have raised their hands and said i have gotten to a point where you help me identified a support system where i can go home and be more successful. There are currently 71 persons here right now living and getting the support services, awaiting the permanent housing that we are negotiating. So all in all, the brief time that weve had with everybodys level of cooperation and with the again the Housing First services being part of that, the Navigation Center with its goals have been very successful to the point where todays announcement is not just to give you some background about the center in the Navigation Center in how it works. Later on well have someone who has gone through the center to talk to you directly about what this means to him, but also to allow the center to effectuate in a way that this center approaches homelessness. We will begin immediately of reprioritizing of existing fund that exist in our human Services Agencies and Public Health to call for an additional 3 million to be put in both an expansion and another Navigation Center. The location of which we have yet to have, but we know this is a good model. And working with our budget office, working with bevens input and working with nonprofits, we believe an expansion and working with the Navigation Center, im going next year of identifying two or three more of these Navigation Centers to make an even more impact around the thousands of people that are homeless in San Francisco. I believe we can do that and i believe this model can be had. We are not doing it alone, we could not do it alone. I think we have affected this private partnership so deeply and encouraged the private sector that we want to establish a fund. We are going to call it Navigation Partnership Fund where we will deposit our initial 3 million that the city will have and ask the private sector to match it. To match it in a way in which its not just money. But that they will match it only when they see the use of the city money going towards a very Successful Program as we have demonstrated here so that their private money can then be viewed as being used very much in an accountable level to be matched up with the city money. We expect and we hope that as we introduce this model and bring more private citizens and companies in to educate them about homelessness and about the causes of it that we will at the same time say that this is part of the solution. Now, i say part of it in a very deliberate way because none of the supervisors will say that the Navigation Center is in and of itself the answer. Its still Affordable Housing that is at the end result. This has also been the end result for all of our shelters, for all of our service programs. We want to have sustained housing but are people ready for it . I think coming to the Navigation Center and getting the support we have will get them there back up to this Navigation Center and certainly by the end of this year are over 500 units of housing primarily in affordable Residential Hotel units that the city and the private sector are mass releasing. That is an incredible part of the answer and that by this midseptember, we will have about 150 of those units identified so as people move in, they know where they are going to be ending up. By midoctober, another 150 units have been mass released by the Mayors Office of housing and the housing coordinator and all the other agencies working together. Now, the big difference and of course we will have the target of 500 by the end of the year. The big difference is this i know cecil knows this, episcopal knows this, inter faith knows this, it is never ever about just the brick and mortar, is it . Its about the people. Its about what they need on an on going basis so they can more than survive. They have to be successful. They have job Training Programs helping. We have support systems for our transitional age youth that they can not do without because they have got skill training. They have to get back on education levels. They have to get to jobs that they can use the earnings of which they can afford to live here. For so Homeless Population its no different. In an around the south of market area or tenderloin, we know that if we dont do more than just the brick and mortar, that they will be no different than those that are living there. We have to have services on site. Where we mass released these, we made an agreement with the Residential Hotel owners and i want to thank them for being great people and working with us because we are going to invest in the building and management of those buildings and we are going get the ability to have a number of those residents to appeal to a Certain Council to keep track to make sure people are being taken care of. And continue to refer them to services and many of those will have services onsite and those will invest in the elevators and sros and things that they do in massive Affordable Housing on a daily bases. They operate very low income Affordable Housing just like our Nonprofit Sector that we are working deliberately on that are passing this incredible bond that we have that they though that they have to have Asset Management as part of that system. So, we have this model of a Navigation Center that begun with some great philanthropic ideas but also worked reality with our supervisors and our homeless advocates and Service Providers in the homeless connect to cause a center that had not only an enriched level of services, but we also have the end result which is housing at the benefit that we are taking care of as well. It not to say and im not going to promise 100 for all of this, as a matter of fact some people decided it wasnt for them and they are back in shelters and 17 said i want to go home. There is Strong Enough of a system of support i want to have. I think this is humanity we want to have in our city. We do have voices that are formally Homeless Individuals that keep advising us. We want to keep our ear open to those that we help so we that on the longterm we have the longterm answers. It is not just about announcing 1,000 or 2 or 3,000 units. Its about how we do it as a city. Its a story i want to tell to take the opportunity to say that more people will be off of our streets not because we want to move them to another part of the city. Supervisors dont want to hear that either. They want answers and i think we are providing them with the collaborative answer that people are seeking the longer and more sustainable answer and allows people that are form erly homeless to allow the ability to get some support to be job ready or they can Access Services they are not able to to live a richer life in the city of San Francisco. I think we are already acknowledging how expensive this city is. That is why the City Government is stepping up to cause this to happen but we are also going to say that we need the private sector to step it up as well. We will ask all the businesses whether its the chamber of commerce, the tech companies, the hospitals, take a look at this model. Come down here. Visit, talk with the individuals and if you agree with us, with our best step forward, i want to make sure that those who have been involved in the challenge of homelessness see our citys commitment as deep as well as is wide and that we want to make sure we have all the foundational answers for this. And if its the only way you can do that is to interview those that come to the center and talk to them about whether their lives are changing and whether we are doing the right things or not. It doesnt end with just the the center, but it does an on going basis to have a lot of partnerships to continue to recognize this is an on going thing. I want more of our People Living on the streets to be off the streets for the right reasons. This incredible weather that we are having has caused a lot of people to be on the streets at night and the lifestyle of things that happen on our streets are very dangerous to them, to their health, to their well being. We have to have these kinds of answers that allow people to have longterm homes. This is the work of the Navigation Center. Im proud of the people that staffed this place from episcopal to Public Health, behavioral, Mental Health, staff, neighborhood center, mission center, remind me of everybody thats down here. They smile when they have visitors because they are proud of work that they are doing. I want to give kudos to all of them and Human Services. This is a model that is working well and i want to be able to expand it. With that, let me proudly introduce supervisor mark farrell who has been paying a lot of attention to this and what it means to us here. [ applause ] supervisor mark farrell thanks, mayor lee. Homelessness has been a serious situation for decades. There is no solving this issue. What it does say is staying commitment on behalf of the city and on behalf of all of our residents. Housing will always be our first priority, always. But also look at creative new ideas over a period of time that will make a difference in the lives of those living on our streets and all of San Francisco residents. To me this Navigation Center represents not only an embodiment of new creative thinking of how we are going to take people off our streets in an environment that will bring them on a volunteer basis in this Navigation Center but also represent the ability of allowing the private sector to get involved to really address something that is more attractive to our city and how we are going to help them. Whether its homeward bound that mayor lee mentioned whether it the laws we passed last year or Navigation Centers. This is what we need to be doing as a city. We need to make sure this is a top priority for our entire city of San Francisco. I want to congratulate not only mayor lee for this, but our Budget Committee and i want to share with you the 1st hand this administration has had and to all of those that are involved in this city not just citywide but in particular, i want to talk deven duffy, it is your vision here. [ applause ] with the coolest sun glasses that exist in San Francisco right now to bobby garcia, all the other providers that worked with us in our community and michael and rita here as well. Thank you to all of my colleagues, supervisors campos and christensen. Its a great thing when we come together with new ideas and to benefit all of our residents and to bring the private sector in. Im proud to celebrate with the mayor this Navigation Center and also the future to continued bringing of the private sector into continuing to work on our citys issues. To me it represents an incredible step in the right direction. Where we need to go with the city. Im excited for the future. I want to congratulate everyone today and the work and the best is yet to come. I want to introduce a true friend who cares about this issue as well supervisor david campos. [ applause ] supervisor david campos thank you, mark. Working on the budget specifically on this issue. Mr. Mayor to supervisor christensen welcome to the mission to district 9. I want to just be completely honest. We are not going to solve the issue of homelessness today. I dont know that this city or any city for that matter can really completely eradicate homelessness. But what i have seen since my not only tenure as a supervisor but as a Police Commissioner and someone who has lived in San Francisco for a long time that when it comes to homelessness, we really have to be smart about how we deal with the issue. And i think that we need to get away from some of the extremes that we have seen in the past. The idea that somehow the status quo is fine and we deal with homelessness by not looking at it and not thinking about it and the other extreme that we somehow deal with homelessness by criminalizing the homeless. Those strategies do not work. When beven duffy first approached me about the Navigation Center and i talked to the mayor, it was important for me that we in district nine and specifically in the mission that we stepped up to make this happen. My experience is that whenever you talk about homelessness on the board of supervisors there is always apprehension about bringing into the district anything that has to do with that population. It was important for me that district 9 and the mission approach it differently and say you know what, we will tackle that issue. So, before anything is said, i want to thank the people with district 9 and specifically the people of the mission that helped to make this happen because [ applause ] because a Navigation Center like this does not happen over night. Before even the concept was something we could talk about, beven and i had to meet with Community Member and Community Member with school parents, with the principals, teachers, merchants association, with the residents with anyone we knew that would be impacted by this. It took months to get to that point. It wasnt only until we did all of that work that we were able to bring this to what it is today. So, my message to the rest of the city is as grateful as wonderful as i think it is that district nine did this, other parts of the city also need to step up to the plate. We in district nine and we in the mission in particular are proud that we have been carrying this responsibility. But this is something that to really address it, other neighborhoods have to do the same. Because whats happening right now, i can tell you is that the numbers of homeless folks that are moving into this area are increasing. I think to some extent maybe that if they are in this neighborhood that somehow they can get priority to this Navigation Center. There are some who feel that. So whats happening is is that we in this Navigation Center do not have the capacity to really address all the need thats out there, not only the need in this neighborhood but the need throughout the city. There are people who are trying to get in here and we have to do a better job. I am very excited and i want to thank the mayor for the fact that we will be opening another center. I personally think that we need 56 navigation . San francisco to really begin to address the level of need. Also the Navigation Center as critical as important as it is is only part of the equation because the ultimate solution has to be permanent housing. So, mr. Mayor, i look forward to continuing partnering with you and looking forward to working with my colleagues and decided where else these Navigation Centers will go we will make ourselves available to share with you the Lessons Learned and our thoughts and i think its only fitting that this council and city is so involved because the city of frances should be the city that gets this right. With that, im proud to introduce one meef colleagues on the board of supervisors, the supervisor for district 3, supervisor christensen. So lots of people to thank. Lots of history. I would like to confine my remarks to three things. To the citizens of this city get it and people who have been living on the streets because they have no home and no leg up. We understand their plight in our community is an important issue and we are on it. Secondly, to this particular place, to beven duffy and his team and i think parks and recreation had a hand in this. Thank you. I have been watching this center since before its opening. I think i toured with deven. I was proud to be in south of market for the first people that moved out of the center into housing and i was especially happy to be here with senator Diane Feinstein a week ago who took a very particular interest in this program and in its opportunities. So it is wonderful with an issue that seems so intractable and often so lacking in hope that we have come up with at least one step that provides a chance that we can do something about this. But thirdly and this is the most important thing i would like to say today, to the person whose contribution made this possible. Who may even be among us today, i dont know. Thank you. Your money has been put to good use. Wonderful things are happening here. And secondly, an invitation to people who are out there that havent stepped up. To the companies who have not discovered philanthropy yet. To people who want to help, this is a good place to put in philanthropic system to make a real difference in peoples lives and in the lives of our communities as a whole. Come join us. Come make these new centers happen and well be looking for possibilities in district 3 and well make many more of these happy place an i hope everyone will help to that end. Thank you. [ applause ] our jewish sisters and brothers are about to embark on the holiest time of their year, and a time of season of new beginnings. I draw from the sacred text of the jewish people, the book of proverbs that say the without the vision the people will parish. Its a vision of action and we are blessed to see this. I want to share 2 stories with you about how we came to this day because in order to get this up and running in the time constraints that we are were given us we want to make sure at the Inter Faith Councils part that we can get the funding mechanism placed within the year. We were so grateful to be able to partner but it took a little work to get there. The meeting of our board took place on the second thursday of december. I dont know if you remember what that day was like here. It wasnt as beautiful as it is today. Theres no power this this city and all the schools were closed. There were torrential rains. We had done all of our Due Diligence and to just get a letter to talk about the significance of this and the staff said no, we wont give that to you and i said why . Because the mayor wants to come himself and impress upon your board the significant of this project and he did. He made a little reference to el nino. And in his statement to our board which i think everybody will remember because we met by candlelight. There was no power. He says we are here today to pass resolutions because the people that need this shelter the most are the ones that are out there getting wet now. And i remember that like yesterday. And we felt very blessed unanimously to have embraced this project and to stay active with it. We were asked often by the press, is this going to work . Is this going to be a success . People of faith can talk prophetically. I can tell you why, having an opportunity to tour this site with the mayor and owner. The mayor new every inch of what was happening here in this building and that vision i can see it was going to work and the genuine confidence in the done or and it allowed it to be created. And the creativity to be able to create coalitions with the board of supervisors, the neighbors, the city Department Heads and the nonprofits. That was a sign that this was going to work. We are very thankful to have been at the ground floor of this Pilot Project and we so pray to see this replicated and continue our commitment. Weve been in the business of the inter faith winter shelter for over 25 years. Mr. Mayor, thank you for allowing us to be involved in this. I actually get and i want to recognize human Services Agencies commissioner rita soems who is here. Shes the president of our council and she has a very important vision. Im proud to be here to present our client. Victor and his partner cynthia on the street for 25 years. It wasnt until entry into this place where they can see a road to hope, a road to possibility. Victor, would you come and share with us a little bit your story. [ applause ] this is a story about empowering me. It took a strong woman to give me that vision, that believed in myself. That means a lot to me. This woman right here. [ laughter ] you know, that is what is really great about this place because as you know, these streets can tear you down. You can be out there fighting and running the streets and using drugs, whatever. It is what brought you to that point in our society. In this society you need hope and believe and everybody that deserves a chance to have a life, to be a part productive part of our society in this world. She gave me that hope because i was living up under a bridge. I went to el nino as you talked about last time on a tarp with safe way baskets. It not what you want to go through. Torrential rain, everything wet, alone. This woman inspired me. She seen something in me just like deven who said im coming back to get you. For a city official to tell somebody that and to come back to get that person no matter if it was a day or 2 months later. He said believe in me and i did. Im here to testify to it. Thats important to me. For the next place to have a place to come to. Its not easy to be in the streets. This is a great thing. To take you off the street and put you in a Living Environment is a shock. I know many people that went in off the streets and just went right back out. Because they werent ready for it. This place here. It teaches you the life skills which is so important. It makes you feel good about yourself where you can go to have a place to wash your clothes. A place to take a shower everyday. A clean environment. Not just some hotel where everybody just comes off the streets with whatever. This is a clean environment. Its teaching you. You have a kitchen. You have staff, the support. They support us in getting our drivers license, marriage license, domestic partnership. It all factors in to giving that person a sense of being. That is what is so really important to have a sense of being of accomplishment and they help you on that way by giving you wake up calls. You cant have someone that lives moment to moment on a whim and expect them to go, okay, i have an 8 00 appointment today and after that i have another 2 00 appointment and its difficult for that person to meet that because its living outside. Every minute, it can change. Your life can change. Somebody can come in, someone can interact with your life and change the whole, everything that you have planned to do and it will change. This place gives that you buffer and opportunities to sit down and think about it, no pressure. They are here for us. Thats whats made my. It hasnt been an easy road. Im used to getting up every morning thinking about how im going to eat, how im going to take care of her. What im going to do to take care of her. Thats on the top of my head. Put you in a basket. Whatever, recycling, whatever. A few dollars to do that. If i had to pick her up and put her in a basket and put her in there and got pulled over for it. Our Police Department said this woman coma toes in this traffic cart is getting pushed. They were worried. [ applause ] that officer that pulled me over cared enough about seeing Something Like that, a person with another human being in a basket. Thats what its all about. Thats what beven showed me. He cared enough about me for meeting me and we all do. Everybody. We love a chance. Thank you. I wont say anything more. [ applause ] thank you, victor. We have more people to serve, more people to come through. Mayor edwin m. Lee one significant thing that i know supervisor campos mentioned. When we talked about this idea, we also talked about it being temporary. The reason is this is a site for now and hopefully less than a year construction will start in 160 affordable units, that this mission and community deserve and need yesterday. We are moving very quickly on that. But it also says to all of us that, we only have a certain period of time to show what weve got. We do have time pressures because we need to get people off the street before they encounter things they cant handle. This is where the time frames are important to the accountability and the use of the public funds as well as the private funds. So we are dedicated not just to ideas, not just to the programs but on a very deliberate life changing transformative time changing for people to get their lives in order and this is what is part of the discipline in the Navigation Center. I want to assure that the supervisors as we promised it would be temporary and it is in fact temporary because these sites dont run off very often. We are already identifying other areas of the city and we need the similar cooperation that we fortunately had here by community representative, residents, the School District and everyone here watching whats going on they have been supportive of the pets and the property and the level of activity thats been here. We are on a quest to create more Navigation Centers. We are on a quest to use the citys money wisely and to create more partnerships with our religious community, our residents, our nonprofits that are incredibly important to this. Thank you for visiting the center and thank you for listening to the speeches and there will be more folks to ask more questions and we anticipate that our approach here will cause more people to come and take a close look at this model and work with us. Thank you very much. Issue. Homeless in San Francisco is a challenging issue that effects owner in the city in many different was as of the 2014 Homeless Census over 64 homeless in individual in the city to try to address the issue weve got a program for chronic homeless welcome to the Navigation Center. This Pilot Project is for People Living on the street what makes it different the Navigation Center is able to accommodate homeless encampments lowell u allowing people to keep their pets and bring their personal bloonlz. The full realization that people dont want to be homeless not refuse services but from the services dont meet them and not relevant theyre not going to be successful if you look at the budget losses weve got a community sacrifice important people to get food and laundry were standing next to the bathrooms it is designed to be a dynamic and brief residential experience where right of on this site city staff to connect you to homeless places to return to family dine is up for medical and all those things that are complicated for people. The other exciting thing city agencies come on site and provided the services for folks this is existed to see when the goal of streamlining a a whole processes of getting people on go gentle assistance into housing as much as possible. Way totally different you can come and agree as please and get Laundry Services and showers any time of the day and night its twentyfour hours a day whatever and twhefr its not like any other she recalls. They come and help people for what it is theyre required the issues they need and reach out and do what we can to say okay how can we accommodate you to get you set up and straight never in my mind imagined a program like this this place it different and a a lot a lot that better it works. The navigation is center is a collaboration of partnerships too city departments one is the Homeless Outreach team managed by the San Francisco distributing i look forward to the Navigation Center well have our agents go out and help and say dont go anymore over and over send our dayshift out theyve meet the population and hang out and hang in the encampment and transport people and be with them and make immediate impacts with me and my staff. Bringing our wloongz whatever you go presents a problem this place their help with the storage i dont have to worry about it staying here you know youre getting things done they need to get things down done to get off the street avenue of the hope alsoness is gone. They help you if youre hungry go eat if e you need to go places go. Theyre 4th district it awe auto. It was funded through a unanimous donation and of may 2015 an additional 3 million to help to continue the Program Beyond 18 months. You see people coming out theyre ready to being so the future homes you know how variable the Navigation Center is my message for the constituents yes something can be done do break chronic homelessness it is being done. This is a community that sets an example but i how to pick an area that was funky theyve seen were trying to do is help their neighbors theyve seen getting sicker and more frail and broken down on the streets and welcomed us thats a powerful Statement People are exist and president in theyre becoming to see the movement for folks and people on the streets are only survival modes where is there next meal and their itch more carefree. The staff here is interpretation the first day i have a appointment and everything was made all you do is go through them this makes a huge difference. To get settled in a helping hand, to get on my feet, take care of the issues i have and get out of bed and help. Even though the Navigation Center has been up in march 2014 the program is creating successful outreach for its clients. A month ago they came to me and asked me to go into a new program i moved into here and now 3 months later i have my own place it is mine i lock my door dont worry about my stuff it feels human again.
