First item is the policy discussion between the honorable mayor mayor and the board of supervisors. The mayor may provide remarks up to five minutes and recognize the districts 11 from supervisor avalos. Questions are in order as long as the discussion doesnt exceed five minutes per supervisor. Thank you. Mr. Mayor, do you have any welcomes remarks . Thank you president breed and supervisors and to the public that is here today. As you know across our country were experiencing a crisis and its a break down of trust between a growing number of communities and Law Enforcement. Tragically here in San Francisco were experiencing this crisis too. The communitys angst has been manifested in many ways and we have been working and meeting with the community for months through the Community Forums and certainly the anger is real. I have personally engaged with Community Groups protesters attempting to have a sug assistantive dialogue about reforms. Most recently we saw a group of protesters here at city hall last friday calling for action. I respect the right to protest but last weeks Property Damage and violence went too far. It is the purpose of protest to call attention to the issue of Police Reform and let me say this its absolutely of the top of my mind. The situation is only solved when Police Reform is fully implemented and the public deserves nothing less, so im about taking action and we are. Thats why last year i ordered a comprehensive review of the Police Department, the use of force policy and directed our Police Commission and Police Department to implement all forms, all possible forms right away. I asked our United StatesJustice Department, the highest Law Enforcement authority in the country, for a top to bottom review of our Police Department policies. I also asked the department of justice to independently investigate the shooting of mr. Mario woods. I met with members of the Police Department including the departments Africanamerican CommunityAdvisory Forum and held and attended numb niewmous efforts and Police Community relations. We are working on rebuilding the trust between the community and our Police Department and we have been doing so for months and its something we will never stop working on. In fact just yesterday we received our first feedback from the Justice Department on the Police Departments use of force policies and while we are making progress we have more work to do to improve our policies and practices and we are committed to those reforms. Thats why earlier this morning i announced additional funding over the next two years as part of the budget to help with the enormous effort under way to reform the San FranciscoPolice Department and to rebuild the relationship between our Police Department and the communities it serves. In the next two years we will be investing even more resources to improve oversight, accountability, transparency, violence prevention programming and other Police Reforms to the tune of 17. 5 million. We talked about the community. We talked with the community and we listened. Were funding an increase to programming for violence prevention programs that are working and providing our higher at risk youth and residents other alternatives like education, training, and the dignity of a good paying job. Were also dedicated to addressing the trauma and Mental Health needs of youth and families mostly impacted by gun violence. Were investing reforms we are investing in reforms for our Police Department that include equipment and training for non lethal and deescalation methods. We are dedicating important staff training for implicit bias for the blue courage program, for cultural competency, crisis intervention from the cadets to the senior veteran officers. These are significant investments and it doesnt stop here. We know we have more work to do on police row reforms and training and intervention and housing and much moratorium to ensure that our communities feel respected, justly treated and safe, and i am committed to working on this and certainly with every member of the board and i know that much more remains to be done and i look forward to a continued dialogue and action on this important effort with you and the entire city. Thank you mr. Mayor. And colleagues based on recent events specifically the protests which escalated to not only vandalism but several arrests i think that we need to address the situation through this question time and not continue with the traditional question we have from supervisor avalos and i know members of the odd districts would like to ask questions not on the agenda of the mayor as it relates to the particular issue, and so colleagues can we do that without objection . Without objection supervisor farrell. Madam president may i interrupt for a moment. Apologies supervisor farrell. To the member in the gallery we have a board rule that disallowed any audible expression of support or dissent and use your support in fingers instead. Thank you madam clerk so as i said before i know that we have one specific question for the mayor but i do know that based on recent events there are members of the odd districts that have specific questions related to those particular events which unfortunately happened occurred after this agenda was publicized which is why those specific questions are not on this agenda, and so we would need a super majority of votes in order to pose those questions in each and every instance so what i am asking to do at this time prior to moving forward with the question is to not recognize supervisor avalos question and to move forward with our more time sensitive questions and at that time we can debate whether or not those questions will be proposed, so can we do that without objection . Without objection we will move to our time sensitive questions that are not on the agenda. [gavel] and at this time colleagues i would like to ask i would like to make a motion to pose a question based on recent events as i said and the fact that the recent events have escalated. My clear concern is for Public Safety and i would ask that we allow the supervisor from district 5, me, to pose a question to the mayor related to that scope and is there a second . Second. Seconded by supervisor campos. And is there debate on the motion . And so for the members who are listed on the roster is that debate on the motion or discussion about the motion . Supervisor farrell. President breed and pardon if i am speaking on the wrong item and perhaps i should have addressed it in the first motion and i respect obviously your question and i didnt want to get into the individual ones from my perspective. Its a precedent setting nature here. I know we have the question set up by board rules and we can amend that if you want. Im not in favor of that. I think we had the established policy for some time and i think its a slippery slope to go down and perhaps better said during the first motion if you will because its not any particular question or supervisor. I respect all of the colleagues a great deal but the nature of the item so i will not be voting in favor of it. Thank you supervisor farrell and with all due respect this is our ability as supervisors theres a duty under the charter. This policy has been established and we have the ability when time sensitive issues are brought to the forefront to ask these particular questions and i think its appropriate to do so at this time but i do understand and respect what you have to say about the matter so madam clerk on the meagz to ask please call the roll. That is on behalf of district five supervisor. Supervisor peskin. Aye. Supervisor tang. No. Supervisor wiener. No. Supervisor yee. Aye. Supervisor avalos. Aye. Supervisor breed. Aye. Supervisor campos. Aye. Supervisor cohen. Aye. Supervisor farrell. No. Supervisor kim. [inaudible] aye. Supervisor mar. Aye. There are eight ayes and three nos. A super majority is needed to pass. The motion passes. Mr. Mayor heres my question. On friday following the publication of todays agenda protesters gathered at city heal resulting in arrests and thousands of dollars in damage. This was the latest in a series of unrest unracist and homophobic scandal with the officers and shootings and multiple investigations into the department. The community is in pain. Protesters are demanding the removal of the chief and i know you have said you will not do so. But my question is given this impasse this disagreement where does this end . Where do we see this situation head dispd how do we reconcile and bring the city together to ensure that everyone feels safe in their communities . Well supervisor breed thank you for that question. Let me reiterate what i mentioned earlier and let me share with the board what i publicly said earlier today. I have ordered a number of reforms to the police use of force policies to prevent Police Involved shootings whenever possible. I have proposed comprehensive reforms and initiatives, many are mandated and modeled on the Justice Departments own recommendations and president obamas 21st Century Policing all of which was to rebuild community trust. I have also called for the highest Law Enforcement authority in the country, the u. S. Attorney Loretta Lynch and department of justice to did a top to bottom review of our Police Procedures and policies and training of the use of force. Concurrently the police chief and the Police Commission have submitted to me at my request a detailed plan to implement further reforms after they have conducted a series of Community Meetings around the city and with stakeholder groups. I have accepted their comprehensive reform package, a reform package that has been developed in partnership with our community, and that fundamentally reengineers the way that Police Officers use force while at the same time increasing transparency and accountability within the sfpd. Theyre not by any ways done. Were just beginning. And immediately i directed the budget director to incorporate these reforms into our Budget Planning so over the next two years we are investing 17. 5 million in new funding in my proposed two year budget to include oversight violence prevention programming and instituting Police Reforms. [inaudible] specifically of the 17. 5 million 11. 3 [inaudible] yelling from the audience . Sir youre out of order. inaudible . Thank you to everyone who is here today. [inaudible] thank you to everyone who is here today. inaudible . Thank you very much. yelling from the audience . Fire chief sure. If we dont have an opportunity to do business as usual we have to go into recess and wont have the mayor able to. We appreciate your cooperation and will continue with the request for questions from members of the odd district, the supervisors from the odd districts and at this time i would like to recognize supervisor eric mar. [inaudible] oh okay. [inaudible] thank you madam president. Wait one second. Before we move forward i would like the mayor to finish the answer of my question. Thank you supervisor. I was referencing the expenditure that were presenting as part of our two year budget, the 17. 5 million for both Police Reforms, violence prevention and oversight, scpis wanted to say supervisor that 11. 3 Million Dollars 11. 3 of that amount is directed at increasing programming for violence prevention, Capacity Building for impacted communities, jobs, path ways to employment to provide opportunities and prevent violence and strengthening our citys Crisis Response and interventions. These prevention programs are in our communities and we need to do more. We want to make sure that Collaborative Partnerships like road map to peace, programs such as my ipo Employment Program that has been successful we want to make sure we increase these and focus on continued population of at risk residents providing them with alternatives like education, training and the dignity of a good paying job. Finally and specific to the Police Department were investing 4. 4 Million Dollars on the training and the equipment needed for that for the new training policies. Theyre substantial and meaningful changes to policy to equipment that will signal significant changes in the culture of how and when our officers will use force and adding time and distance and also ensuring more culturally competent Police Officers. The Police Department will invest in direct training for staff for implicit bias, the blue courage program, the cultural competency and crisis intervention training. The department will expand the crisis intervention training to capture more veteran officers so they receive this important training. As you know the department has established a new bureau within its department. Thats the bureau of professional standards and principle policing and appointed a new deputy chief and assigning multiple divisions to create a unit within the Police Department thats charged with affecting the internal cultural change drafting and monitoring changes to that training and partnering and implementing the department of justices Community OrientedPolice Recommendations in every aspect. From body cameras for every sworn Police Officer to the crime Data Warehouse to piloting the e Citations Program weve have one of the most open and transparent processes for governing police in the country, and this investment will build on that foundation and help us sworn officers strengthen the ties with the community and keep our city safe at the same time. Were also adding 1. 8 million to the Police Oversight through the office of citizens complaints which will increase its staff by at least four investigators and one senior investigator. The staff will be responsible for responding to any additional mandates passed by the voters to investigate all officer shootings. I acknowledge these reforms are no simple task supervisor and it requires serious effort on reform, job training, violence prevention. It requires education, housing and so much more and it does require all of us to Work Together. This supervisor is the end game. The Community Coming back together to make sure these reforms are more than just our words and that these reforms restore the trust between our Police Department and the communities they serve especially communities of color and i am hopeful that because we are San Francisco we will come together stronger than ever and make sure we move together forward. Thank you. Supervisor mar before you move forward with your question you must make the case and ask to approve a motion to do so. Thank you president breed. Thank you mr. Mayor. Colleagues i have a question related to a sudden and unexpected incident that could have been anticipated on may 4 and raises a formal and time sensitive policy question that of Police Racism and killings and bigotry deep seated within the Police Department and i would like to ask a question colleagues refully on the information that is sudden and unexpected.
