I want to congratulate you all to thank you all for your leadership and your many, many years of service. I learned a lot about you as a school board member. I have not seen it happen here yet, and i dont want to give anybody ideas, the my first year when we are going through the contact negotiations and we come in and dennis and susan and karen, they are sitting in our chairs and they have all these folks who are banging the drums and just incredible, relentless, fierce leadership on behalf of your members and always keeping the students top of mind. It has been such a pleasure to work with each of you to continue to work with each of you and not just making our city one where teachers can live and thrive and do their essential work, but making our city better for everyone. I want to appreciate you for stepping up for San Francisco. It is affordable and inclusive for everyone and Holding Us Accountable for that.

To my friends at uesf, im sorry that i could not join you for your 100th, it happened to be my 30th the exact same evening im sorry about that. I really want to think i really want to thank you for all the policy guidance that you have given me over the years. Many members of this body very recently, which resulted in a measure on the ballot, with tenacity and a lot of research, you have made us really smart on the issue and helped us get to the right policy answer. This was not the first time over the last many, many years in all sorts of ways that you have done precisely what you do, which is to educate elected officials. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you to the educators. I want to underscore this. When i say my school, i say my childrens school. They have been a phenomenal resource for the children and the families. I know that you guys fight vigourously for your membership. You have done that in our budget process, we also fight for families and fight for children and you fight to stay in the city and be in the city and be present and having educator and a community makes a community special. So thats what we have all been fighting for as well. I just want to say the party was great, the singalong was amazing, and it was a 100 a wonderful 100th celebration. I just want to thank you for everything you do. Your advocacy is amazing. I know many of you, we stick together when we were saving john mayor from being close. We are actually fighting for johns wet, but we kept john muir and i remember fighting that fight with many of you because that was a school that served children of color and low income kids, and they absolutely had to have that school to be successful in their neighborhood so i just want to thank you. That is when i really learned the power of advocacy. Even if i didnt have a child in that school and i was fighting for that school, and meant everything to me because it was a community school. I remember contacting you and saying, could restart a p. T. A. , even though we didnt have children there . Absolutely we could. We started the p. T. A. And we hadnt had a p. T. A. In 50 years. I just want to thank you for all the work that you do. It is tireless. We appreciate it and it is absolutely noticed. Who benefits . Educators, the students, thank you so much. Is there somebody who wants to say anything . You are never short on words. Come on. Thank you so much. On behalf of the former president and dennis kelly, and the political director, members, Vice President s, the executive Vice President , and the uesf treasurer, we thank you. We are humbled and grateful not only for this award, but for the company we are keeping with the amazing other honorees today. We are all part of the same community and it is good to see everybody here today. Standing up here is probably close to 300 years worth of union experience and that is just this group. We also recognize that among the honorees we are the oldest, im pretty sure. I believe only one question left commented that we didnt look a day over 99. And so our mission from the very beginning has been to do everything we can to make sure that students in Public Schools get all that they need to thrive as children and to thrive as adults. And the best way that we can make that happen is to support the educators who are supporting those students, and so that is what our work continues to be as we work with each other, with the school district, with city hall, most importantly, with parents, caregivers, and community and we also want to give a special thank you to you that when you reach out to us to ask what it is we need to be successful in our work, that makes our hearts singh. Thank you very much for this honor. Thank you. [applause] i just got a text message from my daughter who says you better bring them in the chamber to honor them for their 100 years. Come on in. [laughter] i would like to invite the rest of the supervisors to join. [applause] i will have one brought to you right now. Okay. We will go ahead and wrap this up with the last commendation. Supervisor brown . Thank you. Last but not least, today im commending Shannon Mcneil for her commitment to helping keep our streets clean. [cheers and applause] shannon is in alamo square park neighborhood spends her morning and evening commutes collecting trash on her way to and from her office in the Mission District with her dog dudley. Did you bring dudley . I did not. Okay. Shannon has been collecting trash for about five years. At about three days per week and four to five bags each way, we estimated she has collected something on the order of 7,800 bags of trash. After years of contributing and what seems like a small in a small way, her work has contributed to something much greater for our city. Originally from fort worth, texas, she moved to San Francisco with her husband eight years ago. After visiting a number of times , they finally moved because they realized they had fallen in love with the city. For work, she leads a Customer Service team. Outside of work, she practices yoga, i need to do more of that, mental note here. She runs marathons and spends time with her husband and friends. She also volunteers with her dog dudley as an Animal Assisted Therapy Team member through the spca. Together she and dudley visit Retirement Homes and hospitals to offer patients an opportunity to get some puppy love. More than ever, shannon is proud to call San Francisco home, but she, like many others wish her city, this beautiful city was cleaner. Hence her long walks as a trash picker. As for dudley, he has learned to be very patient with shannons hobbies. He mostly just snips or sniffs around and shannon describes him as neutral on the matter of trash picking. She can be seen zipping around district five listening to podcasts or calling home to friends and family. The city spends approximately 6 million annually to keep our streets clean. And as supervisor, i have added hundreds of thousands of dollars to Fund Additional neighborhood cleaning in the district, but by collecting nearly 8,000 bags of trash throughout the five years you have dedicated to this task, you have showcased a tremendous amount of love for our city and our community. Our sidewalks are cleaner because shannon and dudley walk them. Thank you. [applause] thank you. The quick thing i will say is what brought my has been denied to San Francisco is the beauty of the place and the spirit of the people here. I think every person who has been committed before as an is an example of why we live here and why we choose to stay here. This little bit of picking up trash on the way to and from work is my little piece of keeping the city the incredible place that we chose to make our home, so thank you for having us and thanks to my people who are here representing me. [applause] okay. Thank you. That concludes the commendations for today. Madame clerk, lets go to the 3 00 p. M. Special order. Item 21 is the board of supervisors sitting as a committee of a hole on october 22nd, today, at 3 00 p. M. For the members of the board to hear and receive updates on the progress and implementation status of the United States department of justice recommendations regarding reforms within the Police Department. This hearing is scheduled pursuant to a motion, approved on september 24th, 2019. Okay. Were now sitting as a committee of the whole. Colleagues, the purpose of the hearing is to hear updates on the progress and implementation of the u. S. Department of justice recommendations within the Police Department. I will also take this opportunity to remind my colleagues that we wont be having hearings on related items one of them would be the implementation of the Police Department. That will be coming up soon. Also there has been a task force that has been tasked to look at the staffing and what it needs to fully protect our citizens. That report will be coming up later. Before we begin, how are we going how we will do this is we will have supervisor fewer start off her opening remarks, then i will have police chief scott come up and presents what has been done, and after the full presentation, then i would like to invite my colleagues to ask questions. After that we will have public comments. Supervisor fewer, would you like to make some opening comments . Thank you very much, president yee. Colleagues, i call for a committee of the hearing to shine light on the implementation status of the recommended reform for the San FranciscoPolice Department that were released in 2016 by the u. S. Department of justice. The office of Community Oriented policing services. Im sure youre all familiar with this book. If you are not, shame on you, you should be. I wanted to thank supervisor david compost and melia cone. The board did have several hearings on the recommended reforms, for the losses in september of 2017. I call for this hearing today because there has been more than two years since the last public presentation on reform implementation and because the Police Department touches every single district in San Francisco , it felt important to have this update. Also, there have been significant changes to the monitoring, and evaluation of these reforms and i read from page three of phase one, the phase i initial Progress Report dated may 16th, 2019. In september of 2017, as part of a general moved by the Trump Administration to withdraw from the monitoring of local Law Enforcement, the cops office terminated its partnership his partnership with sfpd and ended the 272 recommendations. Notwithstanding, the u. S. D. O. J. Departure and San Francisco mayor requested the California Department of justice many issues have been highlighted, including use of force and Racial Disparity in terms of who was negatively impacted with the police, and these major issues are among those that are recognized with the d. O. J. As needed reform. We should all be onboard to these improvements. My intention is to ensure transparency and accountability on the progress of implementing these Critical Reforms and it has been too long since there was a public update. I also do want to give some appreciation first to chief williams got to continues to prioritize the departments commitment to reform and collaboration with the California Department of justice who is now monitoring the progress. I also want to appreciate community advocates, in particular the coalition, which has continually pushed for transparency and urgent implementation of the recommended reform. The president of the commission is unable to meet today, but he asked that i sure statement from him. Quote, since my tenure began on the Police Commission about two and a half years ago, i have witnessed a steady progress made by the Police Department as it implements the justice reform. This is not just a check the box strategy. It is a general effort to improve safety in the city, reduce the use of force, and provide Greater Transparency to the public. Evidence in this progress is a fact that the sfpd completed a 14 month period where there wasnt a single officer involved shooting, not one. The Commission Staff has been unable to find any other major u. S. City with a comparable record. At the same time, violent and property crimes are down, and Community Trust has improved. The reform effort is longterm. In fact, it is a permanent process which will continue to challenge the department and be the best Law Enforcement. I think the department and the d. B. A. , as well as the Police Commission and the California Department of justice for the continual push make policing a reality in San Francisco, unquote. While the board is also often stepped up to hold hearings on police reform, i am disappointed that the president has not called for the Police Reforms to be put on the agenda, considering that the Police Commission is the body responsible for overseeing the policy for the Police Department today i call on president hirsch and the Police Commission to put on the agenda this item for their next meeting. I hope that after today we can collectively have a renewed focus on oversight reform limitation on the department. This is the report on the first phase of the implantation. I intend to coopt hearings of the second and third fillets phase for a release. With that, i would like to introduce police chief william scott. Thank you. Good afternoon, board. We have a Powerpoint Presentation and i will go through the Powerpoint Presentation and after that, our contractor that is actually helping us with the Technical Assistance and the reporting of the collaborative reform issue will speak and then we will be a available for questions. First of all, let me thank you for inviting us to speak on our Collaborative Reform Initiative today and inviting us to be here i want to begin this presentation with our mission statement, which was developed through our work with the department of strategic framework, which is one of the recommendations in the Collaborative Reform Initiative. Our mission reflects the core values of the department that we strive to achieve throughout our work every day. The overall objective of the Collaborative Reform Initiative is to work with the community to have an ongoing cultural and institutional change to improve and maintain public trust. We hope to do this by improving police practices, Community Engagement, professionalism, transparency, and accountability just to give you an overview of the timeline, as supervisor fewer mentioned, in 2016, we asked the u. S. Department of justice to evaluate our department and to make recommendations for improvements across all functions within the Police Department. The u. S. D. O. J. Provided 272 recommendations and our department immediately began to work on this recommendations. In september 2017, the Trump Administration<
