Dunlap. Mr. Clerk, can you please read item number three . Yes. Item number three is a ordinance approving the Surveillance Technology policy for the San Francisco municipal transportation agency. Use of automated Speed Enforcement system. Wonderful. Good morning, mr. Morsi. Hi. Again, good morning everyone. My name is heloisae and im the director of pmo from sfmta. Today, ill be presenting our automated Speed Enforcement technology as, just to describe what the technology is. So the technology is governed by the California State Assembly bill ab 645, that authorizes six cities and counties, throughout the state of california for the speed, safety, system pilot program, this technology will be owned by, a vendor, this will require them to use the Automated System to detect the speeding vehicle. Once the violation is detected, then, it will capture the, static picture , jpeg and format and collect the license plate information. The rear license information. And that, picture will be sent through their, Cellular Technology to the vendors, located in where they will evaluate the violation. And if they think that the violation occurred, then they send that information to the department. The department will evaluate that to make sure that it is definitely is the violation, and ask the vendor to issue the, the notification for the violation. So this is just an example of how the technology will work. We dont have the technology yet because we are working in the rfp process to procure the technology. But the camera will capture what you see, the vehicle there. The notification part is on the other side, which shows, the vehicle with the, information that will be collected and the means to pay for the violation, authorized cases, enforcement speed limit on the city street is, like i say, is according to the, vehicle safety, vehicle code section 224 2522434, speed Safety System. Pilot program and analysis of the report of the Speed Enforcement as required under the speed Safety System program. So these are only two authorized cases. Cases that we will be utilizing this technology for with regards to the data life cycle, collection of course, will happen using the radar system that will continue continuously check for any speeding violation once this violation happened, based on the predefined triggers, then the camera will capture the real plate license information and processing wise it will send that again like i said earlier, after they evaluate that the violation really happened to the department. Department will evaluate that and then ask the vendor to issue the notice with regards to sharing of the data, department has specified, classification of the rules, i should say the rule based, authorization, only a handful of, folks are allowed to access this data. We will not share this data with anyone else, but we will if there is a need for, for example, sfpd or, office of the medical examiner or department of Public Health that we will anonymize the data, but just share the statistics that how many vehicles are in that area, things like that, external data sharing. We will not share that unless there is a subpoena issued to us, with regards to the retention, we will keep five days if the notice of speeding violation is issued, however, we will keep it for 60. The picture of that for 60 days. If the photograph by vendor after the final deposition of the notice of a speed violation and 120. Thats our maximum number of days that we will keep the data after final deposition of notice of speed violation for confidential information received from the dmv. We presented this policy to our pccep committee, back in february 20th 22nd, 2020 for, i got the recommendation to bring that to the committee of information system, committee of information technology. Sorry, and we presented that to the court on march 21st, and they recommended to bring that technology here to the, board of supervisors. So with that, i have, some team members here as well to answer any questions that you may have on this wonderful. Thank you so much. I could not be more excited that this is finally happening in San Francisco, something weve been, really fighting for a very long time. So thank you so much. I would love to be added as a cosponsor to this item. Any other comments . Colleagues . Nope. Seeing none. Thank you so much. Id like to open this item up for Public Comment. Yes, members of the public who wish to speak on this item should line up to speak. At this time. Each speaker will be allowed two minutes. Is there anybody who would like to make a comment on this . There. There does not appear to be any additional speakers seeing none. Public comment is closed, do you mind . Ill go ahead and make a motion to send this item to the full board with positive recommendation. On that motion, vice chair walton i. Walton i supervisor safai safai i chair. Ronen i ronen i that motion passes without objection i motion passes unanimously. Thank you. Mr. Clerk, can you please read item number four . Yes. Item number four is a hearing on the San Francisco Housing Authoritys report of Eugene Burger Management Corp regarding the quality of Service Provided at the sunnydale and potrero hill hope sf sites. Thank you. And i will turn this over to the author of this hearing, supervisor walton, thank you so much. Chair ronen, as stated at our last hearing last july 20th, 2023, in regards to Eugene Burger and their duties as property manager at potrero hill and sunnydale, there have been many issues cited by residents and by community. In addition, in regards to the oversight provided by the Housing Authority over Eugene Burger and the city as a whole and their oversight role at both properties, there has not been Strong Enough measures to address the problems of the Property Management and Service Delivery at the sites. There have also been concerns about specific staff and how they treat residents, including allegations of retaliation. Since Eugene Burger has taken over properties at sunnydale and potrero hill. I continue to receive disturbing reports on their quality of services and the lack of how they take care of residents and property needs, continued reports of excessive trash and areas, lack of inspection for vacant units, reports of them being unresponsive, inadequate turnaround times for maintenance and total disregard of resident needs, and more recently, and completely disturbing. It has come to our attention that Eugene Burger staff illegally leased vacant units to members of community and charged them rent at both sites. As we know, this is completely unacceptable. As stated in the last hearing, this does not just fall on Eugene Burger, the Housing Authority. Most cd have to hold Property Managers and developers accountable. The firm, Eugene Burger Management Corporation, was out of compliance in all five metrics tracked in january of 2023, and failed four of the five metrics in february of 2023, according to a report from the San Francisco Housing Authority. Of the firms contract serving Public Housing units and potrero annex and terrace and sunnydale. In january and february of 2023. Eugene burger also failed all 95 site inspections at the complex for issues like abandoned vehicles and overgrown vegetation. So i want to know where we are now in terms of that compliance and that report. Today, were going to hear from the Housing Authority, Mayors Office of housing and Community Development, Eugene Burger and developers mercy and bridge. I also want to know what Eugene Burger has done to address the issues highlighted at the last hearing and what improvements have been made. I want to know what the developers are doing to ensure that residents have the support that they need as well. I also want to know how the Housing Authority and the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development are holding on site providers accountable. So we are going to start with the San Francisco Housing Authority and then hear from the Mayors Office of housing and Community Development, and then well hear from Eugene Burger Bridge Housing and mercy housing. And i believe we have direct doctor leota ju here to report. Good morning. Good morning. Ill just start while kendra is loading the slides, if thats fine with you. Okay. Okay so good morning to all of our supervisors. Thank you for having us today and just having the opportunity to provide an update on the ongoing process of refinement that we continue to pursue together with our partner, Eugene Burger Management Corporation. And id like to start off by addressing the recent Mission Local article. Im unable to speak directly on potential or pending investigations. The allegations of squatters are individuals who dont have the right to be on our property. If you will, paying rent to xbmc property manager. Overall, there remains the issue of unhoused residents at sunnydale and petrol, despite efforts to refer them to the citys Navigation Centers and the authority is, not immune to the unhoused. And like the rest of the city, is addressing the situation with tools and resources that we have in the most humane way possible. So we really continue to partner with with our City Partners in this work. And we take this work extremely serious and we also are fully aware of whats going on. And we take full responsibility for any situations or challenges that might occur on our property. Also, as it relates to some of the Different Things that are being shared, id like to say that our Property Management company, we work very closely with them regarding work orders, regarding getting those work orders done in a timely fashion with all of our residents who have a right to be on property, and there are times that product is not available. And when that is the case, we it takes us a little bit longer to get that work done. But i will say that we are constantly working diligently to fulfill our work orders on site, and to resolve issues and challenges with property issues immediately. And id also like to say that that. Oftentimes we hear many things that are reported. And again, we remain committed to the work in our organization on. And so both sunnydale and potrero are developments that are part of the hope sf redevelopment. And as a promise to our own community, residents will not be displaced. And where possible, residents have the option to remain on site if relocated during construction and due to the on site relocation option. That is part of our commitment to keep communities together vacant. Units are not filled with new applicants and have a hud designation of section 18 demolition disposition, which means the units are not habitable and will not and will be demolished for redevelopment and over the years, the authority has worked diligently to board up units using various recommended and costly methods, and unfortunately, regardless of the methods that we use and these methods are no different than methods used nationally with other housing authorities, we still find that individuals are able to get into our units, and so additionally, we work with sfpd and they have made recommendations that ensure their own safety. When were boarding up and onboarding units f
