Or even im still here. I hope more police and more safety, you know, in our community, all the community, we appreciate it. President hirsch thank you. Next speaker, please. Hi. My name is paula williams, and im homeless in San Francisco right now. Ive been homeless since december of 2018. Ive made Numerous Police reports. Ive been harmed numerous of times by staff in the shelters. The police have did me no justice. Ive went to the city attorney, ive went to the d. P. A. Its just plain corruption. Its five Police Officers that dont want to take a Police Report, made false statements in my Police Report. Didnt want me to file a Police Report and just was lying. I liked when miss taylor said they wanted to take a look at the shelters. Every morning, i walkthrough t. L. And encourage them, tell them to get up, all to its numerous of stuff that whatever hsoc and all of them is talking about, i just called the Police Yesterday in front of walgreens and had the police come up and pick a lady that was laying on the ground. Sometimes i just do field work all day and call 911, can you please get this person up, can you please so i dont know what they talking about. Every day, im in the tenderloin. Whatever salary they getting, they know me down there. They know me really well. So i think you guys should look up all my Police Reports, go to d. P. A. , and ask someone thats working in the shelters thats harming, it was a 26yearold girl that sprayed chemicals in a 66yearolds face this morning. President hirsch thank you. Any other Public Comment general Public Comment . My name is john jones. May my remarks please the commission. About two years ago, i was getting on a 14 mission bus at the corner of geneva and mission, and all of a sudden, i heard this scream, a woman scream. And i looked around, and there was a chinese woman in the back holding a very well cared for child, and three black teenagers were running off the bus. I came facetoface with one of the teenagers, and he was smiling. Apparentl apparently, one of them had just ripped a cell phone out of the womans hand. Now, the witness to that was five chinese men sitting in the back of the bus. My impression was that chai necessary have very tight families. I could run through the numbers, but my estimate is that 3,000 separate individuals heard a full recounting of that crime and the effect upon that woman. You cannot buy that kind of bad publicity. Its stupid. For a 25 cell phone, you alienate all those people . Thats one fact in all this crime that we talk about that doesnt get emphasized, the effect it has on others, particularly others of different races. Thank you. President hirsch thank you. Any other Public Comment . Id like to use the overhead again. Im trying to start it. Wait a minute. President hirsch we need you to talk into the mic, though. Im trying to start my video, so could you so wait a minute. Sorry. Just a second. I think its ready now. So oh, here we go. 12 years after his son was her son was shot and killed in San Francisco, tonight, shes still pleading for answers and hoping a huge reward will lead to an arrest. Our Crime Reporter has the story. Im here. This is the 12 year. Im back again. Its a sad summer ritual, paulette brown, pleading with San Francisco police after her only son was shot and killed back in 2006. I was told back when it happened, its going to get easier, but it doesnt. I can deal with it. Im functioning. I work i do everything that i need to do, but this pain never, never ends. On august 14, 2006, 17yearold aubrey aberkacen approached several gang members. Police say aubrey wasnt a gang member, but he yelled at his friends to run, and they shot him in the back for this. Like she does each year, she passes out fliers, hoping someone will be brave enough to come forward. San Francisco Police say a 250,000 reward remains in effect. I know its been 12 years, i know its been a long time, but if we can solve a case from the Golden State Killer that goes back for decades, we can solve one thats 12 years old. I cant believe hes been gone 12 years and nothings happened. Aubreys mother and the police say if you have any information, call police. So im saying august 14 of this month will be his anniversary, and im looking for you guys to come im having Media Coverage on grove and baker. Steve David Stevenson has already given me the flier to pass out to faithbased people. Im hoping that coming here for all these years that you guys would accompany me and stand with us concerning unsolved homicides and mothers and fathers who lost their children to homicide so maybe some way we can heal.

You know, if you go to city hall, it is so packed. Everybody is celebrating 88. Were here and going to be celebrating this new project. I am the director of public works here at the city of San Francisco. I want to thank you all for coming out our chief and mayor for coming to celebrate this milestone. This facility will be a facility that will serve our First Responders and we are very excited about it. Just last week around the corner we celebrated the new deployment facility and that is a project that will be completed in 2021. That project also is going really well. Then today we are celebrating another Capital Infrastructure project here in the bayview. This job is not only about serving our First Responders, but will also give a lot of people from the community jobs. It will be able to give a lot of our contractors an opportunity to participate in bringing supplies. Of course make our city more resilient. Its also been one of several projects that the southeast sector of our city has been benefitting from. Just in the last two years or so we finished the medical examiners building, the two shops for large and small vehicles are right around the corner. Coming up soon is the new Southeast Community center. So a lot of good opportunities here, and its great that the partnership that we have with all the contractors and all the city departments, that were all working together to really improve San Francisco. As you all know, today is very, very special because its the Traffic Company and Forensic Services division that will be in this site. The building itself is going to be over 100,000 square feet and 100,000 square feet is huge. Its two storeys as you can see. More than three quarters of this lot will be a building with a twostorey building. Were invited about that. Inside the building will be many labs that would be used to help solve crimes. Also our Motorcycle Police department, they will have their vehicles here but well also have offices for them so that they can do their administrative duties, which is highly essential because now theyre spread all over the place. This building will change that. This building will also be a hightech building. Our crews have been working very hard. As you see this pile of dirt behind us, right after this ground breaking, next week well be levelling it out. All that dirt actually is going to be on site here. This area is a little bit of a low land, so were going to be increasing it by 2 or 3 feet high. So were keeping the dirt. Were recycling. As you know, our city leads the nation in recycling. Were following a lot of the building technologies. With that said, the team that has been working on this, i would like to say a huge thanks to clark construction, our architects, h. O. K. And m. I. I. Have been on this contract. Some of our subcontractors, i just want to say thank you because this new facility will make San Francisco much safer and put us into the 21st century building. Isnt that a great opportunity . [ applause ]. I can theres a lot i can say because im excited about this building because i personally have worked in this area for over 30 years. The Public Works Department yard is just up the street. So every day we see these changes. Were very excited. In the capital plan the mayor is putting money for us to look at more opportunities to do more projects here. With that said, i would like to call her to say a few words and thank her for our leadership. Our city is changing in the right direction. Lets call mayor breed and give her a big hand. Mayor breed. [ applause ]. Mayor breed thank you. Mohamed is really excited about this project, isnt he . Hes always excited about projects that move the city forward in the right direction. San francisco is in earthquake territory. And its not a matter of if but when the next big one will be prepared. So we have to be prepared. More importantly, we have to make sure that our Public Safety officials are in seismically safe facilities so that when theyre trying to help the citizens of San Francisco, they dont necessarily need help themselves. We know that the Traffic Division and the Forensic Services division are located in buildings that are not seismically safe. Especially with the Traffic Division and motorcycles and their need to get to people and help protect people throughout San Francisco, thats going to be critical. If we have a next earthquake and something happens, how are they going to get their motorcycles out . We have to start thinking about the future and ways to protect all of our citizens, especially making sure that our Public Safety officials from the police and the Fire Department and other departments can get out there on the streets and protect and save lives. This project, along with so many other amazing projects that weve done in this city, were headed in the right direction. The new Public Safety building that just opened in mission bay is absolutely incredible. The medical examiner building that just open not too far from here is amazing. Station 49, the firefighters are going to get a new stateoftheart building. We just cut the ribbon on station 5 and 21 for the Fire Department to make sure that our First Responders have seismically safe buildings that are just really outstanding and worthy of San Francisco. Now, moving forward in the capital plan finally, after the voters approved a 2014 ether bond, we are finalley here breaking ground, ready to get this building built, not only by 2021 but also on budget, right mohamed . On budget. I dont see many claps for on budget. So i just want to thank everyone whos here today with us to celebrate this milestone and just raise the profile of how significant it is to get these projects done. In fact, the voters have been really generous because through the work of the capital plan and under the leadership of our city administrator, weve been able to bring the bond for these projects forward to the voters in a responsible way, without raising property taxes. I know they usually love that. Which is why in march of next year, well be bringing forward another bond to continue the great work that were doing to make all of our buildings seismically safe throughout San Francisco. This is a great step in the right direction. I want to thank d. P. W. And the Capital Planning committee and all the contractors and people that are going to make sure that this is not only a beautiful building, but one of the most environmentally friendly buildings and it will be a safe, great place for so many people who serve our city day in and day out to work. Im looking forward to it. Im sure these guys behind me cant wait to use a nice bathroom for a change in a great facility. With that, i want to take this opportunity to introduce the supervisor for this district, supervisor walton. Thank you so much, madam mayor. First of all, good afternoon and welcome to district 10. Youre actually in a place that is going to be very well protected in the future in San Francisco. As the mayor mentioned, we have crime lab out here now in the district. Were going to have keep your fingers crossed everything goes according to plan our evidence facility. Naturally we have the Traffic Company and Forensic Division that is coming right here. Our district is going to be well protected, which is exciting for us. Any time we can have Brand New Community gems that are going to be in our district, we get excited about that. So i want to thank everyone for coming out here today. I want to thank the commitment from the voters. Thank the mayor for her commitment and dedication to district 10. I want to of course thank mohamed who is a constituent here in district 10 and who worked very hard to make sure that we have the opportunity to bring facilities like this here into the district. I want to thank the chief for his partnership on all the work and for looking at district 10 as a place where we can bring stateoftheart 21st century facilities to the district so our police and Law Enforcement can be a staple in the community. Were all excited that this will be here in 2021 and we look forward to all the seismically safe opportunities were providing here in district 10. Thank you all for coming to the district and thank you for being here this morning. [ applause ]. Okay. And now lets hear from the chief of police, bill scott.

Thank you for everything you do for our city. Welcome, chief scott. Thank you, mohamed, and thank you for your partnership. First of all, i have a lot of people to thank here.

The officers that are standing here behind me and onto the sides, this is for them. These are the frontline people that do the work. They keep our city safe and they deserve seismically safe facilities and facilities that are stateoftheart as stated. We thank you for appreciating our work and your gratitude for voting to allow this to happen. This facility will not only move our department into the future, but through the advanced services that have been built into this project, we will be better able to serve our city. It will be seismically safe. Our employees will be able to respond to major emergencies quickly and efficiently. And as supervisor walton said this part of the city is excited to have us here, and we really appreciate that. Our crime lab will be fully modernized to accommodate evolving technologies and employ sound scientific principles to process data. At the end of the day this is about keeping our community safe. We thank everybody for making this happen. Our elected leader, the voters, the architect, the engineers, the consultants. Finally, we thank you, the people of our city again for allowing us to be here and making this happen. Thank you. [ applause ]. Okay.

Also integrate other sorts of testing data to determine cause and manner of death. I have been here at this facility since i moved here in november, and previous to that at the old facility.
