Question shall this ordinance be passed onhas been living in unacceptable conditions for quite some time. What we had we discovered looking into this issue and having an oversight hearing a year or so ago and we have found that there is not enough coordination among the department or the city codes are not consistent with one another and there is no requirement that the department has actually asked to address a code violationwe need serious ones. The City Attorney does not have the pool that he needs to go to court when there is a serious violation. They equip the unified Code Enforcement process for building construction, for the Fire Department and to and for the Public Health and we are taking further administrative action and we are referring problems to the City Attorneys office for litigation. Second, we will provide the City AttorneyClear Authority to act by going to court and we will 1st require that the department actually asked the city to tourney to act and currently the City Attorney typically cannot file a lawsuit in less the case is referred to by a department and this significantly hamstrings our City Attorneys ability to act and protect the public welfare. 3rd our legislation in designate quarterly requirements for accountability i am sure we can all see what is pending and asked why this will not go forward. Nation creates a code supervisor wiener is proposing it will have a Significant Impact on those who are forced to live in homes that are notthe legal muscle to go after the bad property owners.

Good afternoon everyone colleagues today i am introducing a resolution requesting that the state attorney geeneral initiate an investigation of the racist practices that are going on in our Police Department. Im sure that all of us are appalled and angered to learn that a few weeks ago a new group of Police Officers had been exchanging racist and homophobic Text Messages and i think we need to say enough is enough we havent sat in the chamber time and time again and say we need to reviewthe Government Law enforcement policy but again here we are confronted with explicit buy bias for those who are sworn to take a specific oath to protect our community. We are asking our attorney general not just to look into the recent text message scandal but also look broadly into the practices of our Police Department which suggest there may be racial bias. The members of this board that i spoke with are all concerned about the use of force policies in our Police Department. The Police Departments own data shows that in the last 2 years africanamerican drivers were stopped and searched more than 4 times more than white drivers and latinos were pulled over and searched more than 2 1 2 times that of the white drivers. The black community are 7 times more likely to be arrested. 11 times more likely to be booked in the communityin San Francisco than their white counterparts. Officer involved shootings have resulted in the deaths of 4 men of color in our community. These things have real lasting effects on our communities. It is absolutely essential to Public Safety in our city. Collectively, all of these incidents and issues have eroded the trust. It is going to take a collective effort to restore it. Our stand with the mayor and our police chief to call and review our department policies. However, the cops team that is currently conducting a review does not have the authority to mandate changes in policy in our department. Additionally, while the District Attorney has also convened the Blue Ribbon Panel to investigate the text message scandal and make a recommendation they too are not required to implement or suggest the changes. They had a very unique authority to mandate release and Law Enforcement in our state if they find those practices depriving people of their constitutional rights. We need muchneeded review, investigation evaluation into these issues as soon as possible. I want to take a moment and thank a public defender for calling about our investigation i urge all my colleagues to join me in this request today. The rest i submitted this time. Thank you supervisor kelly. It is now 230 we will go to our 1st commendation given by supervisor peskin. Today ive opportunity to celebrate a true San Francisco hero. As many of you know i start my mornings with a swim in the bay. I try to encourage my friends and some of my colleagues that many of the officers in Central Station to join me in these morning swims and one of the individuals that i got to start swimming years ago is it officer pete mcglocklin that text me the other day to let me know that he had a Police Officer done with this individual had done that Police Officer would have gotten a silver star. What is particularly amazing is that this individual did the same thing and was honored by the board almost a decade ago for pulling out an individual who attempted to commit suicide by jumping off the municipal peer. It is my pleasure to honor jeff thunders in here today. Jeff is the most humble, unassuming, person that i have ever met. I have to say 1st of all, he is a librarian at the San FranciscoArt Institute as opposed to the academy of art which is an institute that began in 1871 but that is another story. Just a couple of weeks ago on march 30 as jeff was swimming out what we call the opening which is at the end of the municipal peer a fully clothed individual jumped off the municipal peer and jeff struggled to save him while focused on the peer he called the National Park service and the police and ultimately 50 minutes later came and jeff help fish that individual out of the bay all the while telling him its a good day to live and we all have a mission and that people care about him and the strangers on the pier cared about them and the people on the boat coming out to rescued him cared about him so mr. Thunderson it is
