Back and brown by rejecting the racist Police Officer contract renegotiation and hold a public hearing. I have been an essential worker providing medical care to protect lives of san franciscans. It is an insultuled negotiate with Police Officer association that has disregard for the lives of san franciscans. A recent study found violent misconduct increased 40 after a Supreme Court ruling allowed the unionizing. This has rejected prohibiting officers from shooting at moving cars which is how Jessica Williams was murdered in 2016 and the restraint which killed garner in new york. They threatened a lawsuit weeks after the killing of george floyd. This summer tens of thousands of people demanded the end of Police Violence. Negotiations need to be held so community can get in put. Poa policies are life and death. The contract has to introduce concessions to the contract. When cities like chicago ask for disciplinary concessions why is San Francisco not asking and another Police Killing less than a month ago. I am asking you stand up to the racist Police Fraternity and make future negotiations public. Clerk next caller, please. Caller i am catalina from district 4. I de planned the Committee Reject the contract negotiations and not pass out of committee. This is what the p. L. A. Wants two additional years of raises through 2023. Sets up for the next contract in the mayorial year with more leverage. Why is San Francisco not asking for policy after another Police Killing less than a month ago. Negotiations should be held in public so the community can have public. The poa policies are not life and death. Stand up to the Police Fraternity and make future negotiations public. Clerk next caller, please. Caller i am sarah. I have lived my whole life on occupied land also known as San Francisco, specifically in district 8. I am calling like many others to ask that you please do your job and reexamine and reject the contract and not tak take it to committee. I understand there is a lot of back scratching in committee and in the board of supervisors you have to vote search ways to ensure other members of the board will vote for your agenda, but as we have heard among Community Members and demand of the black and brown communities in San Francisco, this isnt working and this policy will violently affect peoples lives. It doesnt make sense to pass this through committee and leave it to the board to deal with. It woulit would not be there responsibility. This is what makes up racism. Institutional approval of racist policies and behaviors with no concession, no policy concessions and raises for the officers. I echo what many before have said before me, and please, please reject this. I yield my time. Clerk thank you. Operations could you please bring us the next caller. Caller i am jeff. I live in district five. I am calling to reject the poa contract. Future negotiations should be held in public so the public can have input to demand the policy concessions that we are demanding on the phone right now in Public Comment. I yield my time. Clerk thanthank you for area sharing your comments. Next caller, please. Caller i live in district 4. I am calling in solidarity to ask the committee to please reject this contract and make all future negotiations public. The results are clear we stand to open the door to defund the police. This current contract is not for two years. Thank you. I yield my time. Clerk next caller, please. Caller i am Anna Danielson in district five. I am inol darety to command the Committee Reject and not pass out of committee. Please make all future negotiations public. We need to have more Community Members speaking on this rather than people doing this behind closed doors. I am baffled after the summer when tens of thousands of people hit the streets of San Francisco demanding the end of Police Violence nothing has changed. Since the month they killed the man in the street. There is demand for transformation to approach for Public Safety this perpetuates the status quo and gives two additional years of praises with no policy concessions to prevent killing another person. Poa has a long history of defending officers engaged in racist scandals and commit extreme acts of violence against communities including the killing of dozens of black and brown san franciscans. In june they threatened the lawsuit to kneel on the neck of San Francisco residents weeks after that same move killed george floyd. This is racist. I am asking the poa to reject this contract. Stand up to our citys Police Fraternity and make all future negotiations public. Thank you. Clerk thank you. Next caller, please. That completes the queue. Thank you so much, mr. Clerk and operations. Hearing no further callers, Public Comment is closed. I want to maybe first thank the dhr director and controllor, chief scott and for responding to the questions today. To the members of public who came out to speak today. I share your deep concerns the poa m. O. U. Failed to include concessions or address the delay and obstructor gently needed reforms included 272 recommendations from the d. O. J. The dew prthe process is more cn the Global Pandemic and uncertain economic downturn and growth of Racial Justice movement fueled by lethal Police Misconduct and interaction. I feel the need to emphasize a point that rudy of the Sf Labor Council and a few other speakers made. This process began with the mayor directing the negotiation of a quiet deal with the Police Officers association, the deal she felt necessary to close the budget deficit that wases assumed in the mayors budget when it was handed to the Budget Committee of the board of supervisors. Supervisors were not willing to find the funds for ass for services for families and residents. The mayors narrow directive resulting in the m. O. U. Before us is a lost opportunity for Police Reform that is desperately needed. We have a contract that does not offer more because the Mayors Office has not demanded it. Leadership on police labor negotiations has to come from the top. It was the failure of this administration. The boards role is limited. We are not at the bargaining table. We cannot change the terms. Only the mayor and dhr can negotiate the labor agreements. We can only express support or rejection of the contract. The labor negotiation process is a tool to advance needed reform because the poa could refuse to come to to table on specific terms the city would try to impose. Still, however limin. Commissioner lim they are t the contract to force us to dig deep in the budget during the economic downtown to fundraises for Police Officers. This would be without a clear guarantee of a better deal. I have yet to be convinced that rejecting the m. O. U. Will move us closer to Police Accountable and systems reform. For many whom i work with it doesnt feel sufficient when two years ago the bolder used the power of inquiry to build leverage and make some gains. Moving forward we must use every tool available for our shared goals including the meet and confer process. Two days ago at the board of supervisors meeting, i called for a hearing on the dhr to prefer process to shed light on the relationship with poa contract and Police Reforms. We must identify policies anden sure that will not be used as a tool to show down reform. I have heard about requiring dhr to notice meetings, consult with key stakeholders, refrain from conferring on management and other process reforms. This conversation will be transparent and open to the public. Unlike the process for the m. O. U. , i will involve the chief of police, Police Commission, criminal justice and advocates on Police Reform. The board cant negotiate labor contracts but we can legislates change. I share the passion of the advocates here and share the desire to rebuild the complex systems. I am unconvinced the negotiation process that has played out is the appropriate point to refer. I am certain that the importance of this topic and conversation wants a full conversation at a full board. I would like to hear from my colleagues before my final decision. Supervisors peskin and haney, i believe the most appropriate Committee Action today would be for us to send the poa m. O. U. To the full board without recommendations. I would love to hear your thoughts on this. Supervisor haney. Supervisor peskin. Thank you, chair mar. You summarized the recent history very, very well. While this is a missed opportunity in many kays, as you arat this time lated articulated. Within the pd in the leadership under chief scott as well as in large part because of the pendency of the m. O. U. And ongoing hearings on the d. O. J. Recommendations as well as modest children in the leadership of poa, there has been some progress. I think in some part, if i may, because the poa has changed Legal Council and, finally, gotten a lawyer who is much less obstructive than his predecessor. As a result i believe ms. Preston can speak to this. A lot of the frivolous use of meet and confer and other roadblocks that under mires brown the poa have been resolved. I do believe under the leadership of at least the new council to the poa, if not some of the members and leadership of the poa, we have gotten rid of the vast majority of these frivolous meet and confers meant to jam up the system. This doesnt mean this is the way they will continue to behaving. We have to keep the pedal to the metal. There are willing other ways to do that. Some frankly are at the state level. Pro bar at the state level, reforms to meyers brown not within our control. The way arbitrations go down are not within our control. I would like to try to turn the page with a somewhat more sentiment Police Officers association which is not a union but is a bargaining unit with rights in the same way as maa, mea appointed out to me earlier the seiu is affiliate would with the aflcio, for whatever that is worth. My hope is that the we send this forward without recommendation as suggested by chair mar, there may be other relatively modest but important concessions that we may be able to get in the intervening period. I would conquer with that sentiment and want to add my voice to thanking members of the public and our various city staff for their attendance and presentations. Thank you, supervisor peskin. Supervisor haney . I said a lot of i thought about this and asked questions earlier. I want to thank everybody who called in and the staff here. I hope we have all held how strong the demands are for change for the systematic sweeping changes to policing in the city. I think we are in a position with this m. O. U. That frankly is very frustrating. We have the choice to vote it up or down. Voting it down means the police get raises immediately and we have been told as we have heard from some of the folks who called in this could mean layoffs of other city workers, which is something none of us want. On the other hand we clearly me need to reform if we work with dhr, hearings you have called, supervisor mar, the ways meet and confer has been used and abused, and we have seen a slowing every forms that have come as a result of that constant utilization of meet and confer. We should look at ways if we are restricted by state law where we can reform that process, even how we act and what we can do. I think that is an important thing. I also think that what we have heard i is that the policy chans that need to take place, need leadership from this board, the Police Commission, from leadership from the police chief and take mayor and those things need to happen and be acseller rated to the extent that the contract affects that, that is something we need to look at very closely. What you believe, director and what the chief beliefs is that the reforms will happen quicker and be more reliable and effective if they happen by the Police Commission and by the policymaking policies of the city. You know, i also think it is important another reason why if we send this out we cou we do it without recommendation. We are expecting a forecast from the controller about the updated fiscal situation. I think the board should weigh that when the decision is made. With that i will support the motion that you have put forward, supervisor mar, but i definitely hear the very serious and widespread demands we have heard from the public today and have seen on the streets and know are very real in our city and overdue. Thank you. Colleagues. Obviously, today is not the end of the conversation. I know i am going to continue to listen to addvo cats and experts between now and the full board meeting. We will keep an open mind about it. We will support a viable reform strategy should the contract be rejected. With that i guess i would like to make a motion that we recommend items 4 through 11. The other labor m. O. U. To the board with positive recommendations. We send item 13 to the full board without recommendations. Do you want to take those motions separately, mr. Chair . Sure. On the motion offered by chair mar agenda items 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 be recommended for consideration by november 17. Peskin. Aye. Haney. Aye. Chair mar. Aye. There are three ayes. Thank you. Then on the motion offered by chair mar agenda item 13 be sept to the board of supervisors with no recommendation with the government and Audit Oversight Committee for consideration on november 17. Peskin. Aye. Haney. Aye. Chair mar. Aye. Mr. Chair, there are three ayes. Thank you. Thank you everyone for this long and important discussion. Mr. Clerk are there any further items.
