Possible onset for that garage. Aliso ferrell. Well hear a lot from the folks. I recognize a number of faces. I was an operator for a garage that operated a number of years. Weve seen record high occupancies where 500 plus open stalls were sitting vacant. We restriped the lot to allow more selfpark and worked closely with the union to come up with a staffing plan. This included a reduction of fulltime staff in two stages. The Staff Members will provide an opportunity to relocate to other fasts within the portfoliofacilities to relocate to other facilities for zero job loss. Well always have someone onsite and if the cars return, so will the staff Parking Program. Transitioning into safety and security nexus of our conversation. We focus on three Major Concerns when were managing our garage and how to mitigate them. This includes trip and falls, gate arm city and pedestrians and vehicle breakins. You may have noticed theres no mention of violate crimes such as car jacking or fiscal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Cal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Cal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Cal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Pcal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Hcal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Ycal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Scal assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. Ical assaults but the crimes are extremely rare and in my time have not occurred. And i want to thank supervisors for meeting with me and the commander to raise concerns about breakins and specifically around womens safety. We used the input to create new policies and procedures we feel have had a Tremendous Positive impact and will about them more to come. Of the three items, dbis is what well focus on today. To report theres been a positive trend. In 2017 we saw a reduction or less than 30,000 reported after the 24 increase from 16 to 17. Since then theres been a focussed effort city wide in 2018 we saw slight reduction of 26,000 reported dbis. A 17 reduction. So what prompted the spike to begin with . Theres been harsher consequences which have been ledge legislated and theres less than 90 chance youll be caught. The criminals are long the lines of credit card fraud. Its not 100 preventible but we can take steps to curb it. We want to make the lots less appealing to thieves and have them move along. This table provided by partners demonstrate the trends city wide and this is important data point for us as it highlight the months where vbis are more prevalent and as you can see the spike during the months where we generally see more visitors and tourists in the cities. Specifically to our facilities. You can see the vbi downward trend over the past two years and this is the kickoff of our operating philosophy when we started in 2017. Understand the changes of demand and move towards Industry Standard and technology we implemented a weve required minimum security hours and currently sfmta employees, 1820 hours of Security Guard per month for offstreet facilities. Theres signs for all points of access and elevators and stairwells and active collaboration with s. F. P. D. And participating in the task force. I wont spend a lot of time here but deploying the new philosophy we were averaging 38 average vbis per month, some as high as 50 or 60 with the new operating philosophy and goes down to seven and in some months weve had zero. I was fortunate enough to be present with supervisor peskin and safai when we had a large announcement regarding that. We updated our staffing plan and issues of security and number of occurrences and breakin history and complaints and this allows the security to focus on highareas of potential threat better coverage and increased officer productivity. And task force for stakeholders in the city and we worked closely with the groups to collaborate and identify areas to make improvements. And specifically towards technology and the sparks program. Its a revenue control system and Hardware Software network to provide data for analytics and policy. Also upgrading at this time which is also a major security issue is our compliance to protect and safeguard an important source of Agency Revenues and provide Better Customer Service and have security features. We deployed hd cameras at egress and degres and we deployed lpr recognition and brighten up each facility with cohesive signage and white paint. Our central monitoring station, which we havent actively deployed but heres a picture of what it looks like and our cameras and video needs and intercoms come back to these facility. When its fully deployed well have three. Well have a city sfmta monitoring station and two operator locations as well as all the facilities will have cameras rolling up there as well. Ill leave it there and open it up to questions or concerns. Well come back to questions. I want to open it up for Public Comment because people have been wait forg waiting for some time. If youd like to line up and speak. Each speaker will have two minutes. I apologize for the earlier day and thank you for your patience. Good afternoon, supervisor safai and supervisor peskin and haney. Thank you for taking the time to meet with us. Im tony delorio of teamsters 665 in San Francisco. What we have witnessed in the last years is a calculated attack on our members. The sfmta has implemented over 1600 hours of staffing cuts per week which equates to 40 fulltime positions gone just like that of a total of 220 employees. And they have made it clear the cuts will continue. The majority of our members, mostly of minority decent are San Francisco residents. A few years ago the city approved the 30 million park equipment upgrade at sfmta locations. Did we expect some staffing cuts with the result of this implementation, sure but not of this magnitude. We attempted to have prior meetings to see what we can do to prevent the job losses. The sfmta would show us basic pnl statements and explain how the new equipment had to be compensate and use was down due to the uber and lyft explosion but after doing some more digging we found out for one reason or another, many invoices from the parks equipment instalation were being filtered through the operational expenses thus churning the statements upsidedown. I think its unfair capital expenses are being commingled into the expense numbers and were talking about 70,000, 80,000 being moved in these statement so of course expense high. And who suffers the loss . Everybody here. Clerk the speakers time has expired. Commissioner hell finish the sentence. Tony, finish your last sent. Our last ask was the garages to maintain the current Staffing Levels as they are today not going backwards. Thank you. Commissioner thank you. Next speaker, please. Im Martha Schreiber and im here today to speak on behalf of the valets in the parking garages the city owns. I did budgets for mayor feinstein in 1979 when we put in a new Financial Management system when we were doing budget Business Activity rather than line item budgets and revenue departments were able to come in and ask for more than 100 of budgets when we provided incremental budgets bore the if you system. It for the new system. It doesnt seem to work well. I was at a disadvantage trying to quantify how many cases of cancer the Public Health nurses were preventing. And the valets wall in the same category. The return on investment is not quantifiable. We are a worldclass city. Union square is world class shopping. My very wealthy aunts from Point Richmond and from down south in abertine they dont come here to drive themselves around and try to find a parking space so they can shop and or be able to carry their bags whatever the things are the wonderful valets do. They have been with the city a very long time. Weve talked about yerba buena gardens to keep High Standards. Whats a High Standard in the city . Our jewels are Fishermans Wharf and union square. Thats our revenue. What are you going to do to assure the revenue stays . Were already getting hit by retail by amazon. People already dont want to come downtown anymore. I had a restaurant for 30 years. Mr. Peskin, did mayor feinstein and mayor brown work hard to mike it a worldclass city . I worked for both of them. Where is london breed . What is the thinking . This is a worldclass city. Go to any worldclass city and find the definition of world class. Commissioner thank you. Next speaker. Commissioner to be fair to all the speakers, we have to keep everyone to two minutes. Imani im janni. When you see a local filmed commercial or Television Show or movie, photography or print shoot, my group are wardrobe stylists also known as costumers. Our jobs are to go downtown into city lots and acquire Studio Services at j crew, banana republic, gap, nordstroms and we have to gather a huge amount of wardrobe and reliant on these valet. 100 . They help us, they protect our cars. We cant do our job on a bike. We cannot do our jobs without the valet. We have thousands and thousands of dollars of wardrobe in the trunks of our cars. Alarmed, you know. Without this its going to be almost impossible. Ill rattle off some of our clients, okay . Apple, hp, sales force, gap, google, levi, i did six in a row for ebay, subaru, vw, ford, tesla, at t, chase, the show 13 reasons why filmed in oakland verizon, cisco. We do the costuming without the valet i dont know what well do, honestly. None of us have ever seen a Security Guard in any of these. Not once. Pay the nonlocals some more money. Commissioner thank you, next speaker, please. Im veronica lebau the executive director at the Liver Foundation i work in the Flood Building. I park daily at the Aliso Ferrell garage and i use many of the other sfmta garages as well. Union square, 5th and mission, st. Marys, the Valet Service is integral to my job as well as my safety. Since the dem diminished services of the valet staff ive felt less safe. I have reached out to many of the other customers and tenants in the Flood Building and many of them, 200 plus signed a petition feel the same way. Our cars have been broken into. Our safety has been compromise. When i called sfmta when we still had the Valet Service they told me they were not going alleviate it. They were not going get rid of it and they were also going to install an Ambassador Service. I have called the number for the Ambassador Service and the phone just rings and rings and rings. Same with security. I have never seen security in that parking garage. I worry for my safety and for everyone elses. Lets call this what it is. The acceleration of San Franciscos race to the bottom. Please take responsibility and stop the bashing of this people who work in that garage and put us customers at risk. The sfmta has increased the parking space price and monthly cost and theyre profitability. Their profitability. Commissioner thank you. Next speaker, please. Im katy suing sugarman. Im also a stylist and were dependent on the Aliso Ferrell garage for safety and security and having the valets is pivotal to our way of life. Work we do and we shop at every single retailer at union square and shopping for any small and major corporation. Weve done many jobs for them. We are a huge vital part of the local film photography and Film Industry and we contribute to the local economy and new york and the world. Union square is not completely safe and most of us have ed breakins firsthand and having the valet and having the presence there is the only thing to keep us safe. A video cam with someone sleeping in an office wont keep the thousands of dollars of merchandise in my car safe and its our livelihood. If that got getz gets stolen from me, ill lose my job and i feel vulnerable being a woman and i realize on the smile of the staffs face and its crucial to what we do. I find it hard to believe the Parking Spaces are suffering losses. Ive been parking at that garage ann day of the week ann day of the any day of the week and ive never seen it empty. Theyre pivotal to our lifestyle. Commissioner thank you for taking time to come today. Next speaker. Good afternoon, members of the committee. Im Rudy Gonzalez representing over 140 unions here and were on record saying we support the members of local 665. Often when we talk with the future of work we talk about the technological advances and whats left out is the future of workers. I can tell you first hand we go to the garage and the people most effected when there isnt a human being there are the tourists and ven tors and the people vendors and without the human by the machine at the garage people have a hard time operating that equipment. It fails fails and when theres a smiling person in their steamster vest people get greeted and feel more safe and security and ive used them just to get through that machine. I think whats important to think about is what mr. Dilorio talked about is how profits and losses are being represented. Theyre blending conversations. Id urge the committee to do a deeper dive into that process. Ill set aside comments around the shift to say you can have sworn peace officers. Theres probably a lot of tension around that. I would think on its face it say seem like a safer option but with Public Safety important i dont think reasonable to expect sworn officers to guard peoples carbs and i dont think theres a correlation between that and driving down the vbis of the garages. Its not feasible as you consider this consider the working families and what few remain in the city that are dependent on these good jobs and have Human Interaction and what cant be quantified as the human value they bring to all the garages. Thank you. Commissioner thank you, next. Next speaker, please. Heres an example of using too Much Technology. An example is teachers go to school and get their credentials and pay the rate of tuition loans and fees and you changed their payroll system over to a hightech system. The first stage in this system didnt pay the teachers and the teachers were facing evictions on properties they were in as tenants and some were facing flash because you used too Much Technology and you were paying teachers more than what they were supposed to be paid and some were getting paid thousands less and some still not paid on time. You did the same thing at the state superior court. You went high tech and as a result 13 judges lost their jobs and 100 clerks lost their jobs as a result files stack to the top of the ceiling. Sit up there right now and are replacing people who were supporting them selves and families with technology not even proven to work and hasnt been previously tested. Its not fair and unethical and youre putting technology over the safety of people who are working and guarantees to give you a performance of services. What you should be doing is hiring more people. Thats what you should be doing. Commissioner thank you. Next speaker, please. Good afternoon. Im a born and raised san franciscan. Ive been working at the 5th and Mission Garage for roughly 20 years serving our public. The past year ive seen significant changes in safety and cleanliness and i believe its a result of decreasing staff. Last week we had a customer physically assaulted while paying for parking. Prior to cuts we had an attendant in the lobby. If we still had one wed be able to possibly prevent the assault or add at minimum report the it to security and because we dont have these the suspect left the scene. We have aggressive panhandlers approaching patrons. They walk up to the customer, demand money and when they dont get it, theyll yell and threaten. In the past, when lobbies were manned, just the presence of the attendant would stop the panhandlering from coming in or approaching anybody because they saw us. We do our best to do the garages clean but as a result of staff cuts the smell and sight of feces is a presence in the stair wells. We have individuals who come in and tag the walls, go to the garage and tag over safety signs and take fire extinguishers and discharge them on vehicles parked in the garage. These are a few incident i have seen while there and believe theyre a direct result of the Staffing Levels. I ask we keep the Staffing Levels we have at this point in time. Commissioner thank you. Next speaker. Im steven garcia. Ive a 27year employee as the Aliso Ferrell garage. We have seen the garage go from a firstclass garage to slum garage. The light is terrible and theres people urinating and its feces and drugs and needles. Stuff all over the place. Im the only one there in the facility from 5 30 in the morning to 7 30. The next guy is 7 30 and the next one doesnt show up until 2 00. There are no other ambassadors but me and david. The customers have complained they dont feel safe. One lady told me she felt she could be raped at any time there. Its dark and theyre scared. Our entrances are dark. Theres nobody around. Weve been told to stay off the main floor and be upstairs. Were spread so thin at our facility from going from 45 people down to about six. Its insane. The
