Transcripts For SFGTV BOS Special Rules Committee 7616 20160

Concepts were brought in, but did you have language was discussed and this commission had time to read it and go over it, a number of discussions happened that night. But the question is after 6 and a half months with after six and a half months of thoughtful discussion and a lot of input, the commission acted after a significant deliberation and so i want to clarify those points based on some of the issues that were brought up. Xigser de jesus. Commissioner de jesus. Im happy to sit and talk to you because i dont see the same policy. Its really important to analyze and real the report because a lot was taken. Its march of 2016 report, a lot of the new contents and language was taken from the report and case law. We relied on the case law. We struck the tasers, we we held onto the shooting at cars. If you look at it, it doesnt say it has the same concept of preserving human life. We actually say in here that were holding them to a higher standard. The law is the grand versions conner case which talks about reasonableness. It could be reasonable. We say in this policy were going to hold you to a higher standard. Its something the law provides Police Officers. If you recall section 835 says they can stand their ground and defend them self. Thats the law. We cannot change the law. Thats why we have when feasible because theyre entitled under the law and to penal code section 835. You need to look at that. The language we chose was very calculated and we had been working as a group through that friday and monday. They made changes and they move things around. All the crossed out section, they moved them around so theyre more consistent. Thats a very important use of force document. Im happy to go with you because i dont read it the way youre reading it. Its an important document and it raises the standard and it does preserve the we took out the tasers. You know, we did a lot of things and we did it within the understanding of what the law says and what the policies are going forward. So as i hear about the policy, i talked to a lot of people that like it. And thats the way they feel. Ive sat down folks just because of the work i do, analyze it and they say they actually said they like it. So i just want to point out that just like youre pointing out you dont feel that way. I have a number of people who say they like it and appreciate it. I want to add that to the mix also. Speaker the last thing, the poa, the city has to meet with the Police Department poa and anything regarding working conditions, they have to do that. It comes back here. We need to safeguard what we did. If it needs to go to arbitration, so be it. Thats my position. Thank you colleagues. Sergeant, please call the next line item. Item 4 Public Comment and all matters pertaining to item 6 below on closed six whether to hold item 6 in closed section. Speaker in advance into well have Public Comment on this bodys going into closed session. Good evening. Speaker yeah, good evening, commissioners. The case youre going into closed session about involves officer joshua. Okay. You know, we know officer josh beal as the shooter who shot the son of the members of our coalition. Were extremely displease wd the type of lateral hires that the San Francisco police does. One thing that the panel does is brought to the is that the hiring process is veiled in a nobody on my side of this podium knows exactly who does the hiring, how its done. Were told its being done by a cabal of old sfpd retired officers. I have heard they get a stipend in addition to their very generous retirement package for doing this kind of work and they time hire shooters from other districts. This is outside of any realm of justifiable policy or actions by sfpd. Not only in the case of officer joshua beal and we brought to in commission, a write up on him done by miller. And not only officer beal, but the shooters in the mario woods case from what youre doing in your next session, youre going to be talking about the officer beal lawsuit, and its consequences. These Police Officers are very expensive to San Francisco not only on a bottom line, but the violence they do in our community. This has to stop. Next speaker. Tom, transparency. Closed sessions. A community. Its code the blue code. We need a community, a healthy community. The more closed sessions that we have whether its here or board of supervisors, we dont know how were advised. We need a little bit more openness. Probably a lot more openness. I think it will help everybody. Thank you. Next speaker. Welcome back. Trevor is a good kid. I have written an article. He was beaten by a lateral hall. Josh currently working in the Mission District and killer of the delores nephew gains. He was the spokes woman for the department for this recent incident that acting chief chaplin came from today. So shes a spokes woman now that shes under litigation for beating an unarmed civilian. He was beaten by Vice President of the Police Commission of San Francisco. On this agenda here, its listed as Public Comment on all matters pertaining to item 6 including whether to hold item 6 in closed session although you by saying before we enter closed session. So if youre going to take the position of holding these matters of vital public interests in closed session, i want you to very clearly do that and i want you to do that in the presence of delores piper, the great aunt of piper. Do these for these cameras and let the public know your anti social disposition because these are tony monday toy yall must be fired and joshua must be fired and still should be found liable for murder.

transformers that occurred in the 90s and john lead a 3 billion dollars renovation a master plan expansion for the rim and a new International Train system and bart to sfo new cargo facilities we also have a new rental car center you think the transformers of the 90s and impactful to the customer dmrerns a positive way and the revenues of this airport i think about after 9 11 and john and his

past and also provide for post security cocaine activity between 4 of the broadly areas of the airport and in the near future well build between t2 and 1940 t3 that allows us assess through the

Mayor a gentleman whispered in my ear this building will be opened in 2019 while your mayor and complete in 6 or seven years 17 dates is that right. 17 gates in 2019 so just a little bit of reminiscing i came to San Francisco<\/a> for the very first time a little bit over 95 years and graduated schools for a Job Interview<\/a> for sfo on this building for World Airways<\/a> i looked around this broadly airport and thought that is the worst broadly area laughter and it looked a bus terminal so in that time ive been here 35 years a lot of improvements are made to this boarding area but ptz to see it replaced in the last 20 years we rebuilt the whole airport a new international terminal, bart to the airport, train system and new parking garages and terminal 2 that set a standard for arntsdz worldwide and being improvements in terminal 3 but to demolish boarding area b it was a great pleasure to lift this sledgehammer and tear that place down that was built in 1962 as a temporary structure so 74 years later getting to taking it down so we had to take a projects in a unique way strong finances Steering Wheel<\/a> strong concession sales sfta from the San Francisco<\/a> concessions and that allows us to finance our own facilities we dont need third partys developers or ask the airlines to build facilities we insure the highest quality and maximize flexibility and maximize the gates and have new carriers to welcome virgin american and insuring they have the gates and able to welcome jet blue and southwest and had an extraordinarily highlevel of k350e78s one of the highest exception levels in the country that means low fairs much lower fairs is more nights in the hotels in San Francisco<\/a> keeping this airport competitive is very important in our philosophy how and finance and control the airport is a key part an 1250er8d team in delivering the projects that i have been a leader on for years delivering projects on schedule within budget not had a construction latitude over 20 years the envy of the public segment nationally and they look at our model how they should follow as well our model is based on partnering we embrace partnering and partnering with a Construction Industry<\/a> and contractor, architecture e architect and engineers and Construction Managers<\/a> and pales in comparison with the airlines our concession folks and other city departments and labor a key partner and that partnering is one of transparency, setting time and goals and insuring clear open consumption and thats what allows us to deliver exceptional projects not just projects on schedule and within budget but projects exceptional from a point of view we aim to surprise the passersby with a level of amenities and services that we deliver we did that in terminal two and confident the team will that here our im a review lose and get better im confident when i could be four years from now as as peering ill have an steroid experience thank you all for being here today and really very satisfying for me as airport director after 35 years seeing this old building torn down and starting a new boarding area and new terminal one thank hi everybody, we down here at the ep is a center which is our pop up space down here in San Francisco<\/a> where we operate a store front to educate the policy from the home owner who has center which is our pop up space down here in San Francisco<\/a> where we operate a store front to educate the policy from the home owner who has never done anything in the house to the most advanced structure engineers we have working around here. We were going to here from kelly to talk a little bit about San Francisco<\/a>. How are you doing kelly . Very well, thank you for having us here. In front of us, we have a typical soft story building. When i see this, i think this is some of the most beautiful architecture our city has. A lot of people dont know these are problematic buildings. Why dont you tell us about some of the risks he we have in these buildings . Soft stories are vulnerable in past earthquakes and the northridge earthquake to this type of building and character of building. When we talk about the soft story, what were talking about is generally a ground story that has less wall or other pwraeugs to resist the lateral forces that might be imposed by the earthquake. So were looking for something that is particularly weak or soft in this ground story. Now, this is a wonderful example of what some of the residential buildings that are soft stories in San Francisco<\/a> look like. And the 1 thing that i would point out here is that the upper force of this building have residential units. They have not only a fair amount of wall around the exterior of the building but they also have very extensive walls in the interior and bathrooms and bedrooms and corridors and everything that has a certificate amount of brazing yea its significantly less country srabl in those stories. Now very often, we get even a garage or storage or sometimes commercial occupancy in this ground story. That very often not only has a whole lot less perimeter wall but it often has little or no wall on the interior. That wall is the earthquake bracing and so he see very significant bracing in the top floor and very little on the bottom. When the earthquake comes and hits, it tries to push that ground floor over and theres very little that keeps it from moving and degrading and eventually paoerblly keeping it from a collapse occurring. So we know theyre vulnerable because of this ground story collapsing is this only a problem we see in sentence france . San francisco . No, this is certainly a national problem. More acute in western but more up to california, washington, moving out into other states. This kind of building exist and this kind of building is vulnerable. When youre involved with the community safety, this is a different way of thinking about these types of things. We had a Community Group<\/a> of over 100 people involved and upper 1 of them. Tell us about how that conversation went. Why did we decide as a city or a community to start fixing these types of buildings . There were a lot of aspects that were considered well beyond just the engineering answer that these are vulnerable. And that effort brought in a lot of people from different aspects of the community that looked at the importance of these buildings to the Housing Stock<\/a> and the possible ramifications of losing this houbgs in the case of an earthquake. The financial implications, the historic preserve vacation s implication as you mentioned, these are very handsome looking buildings that are importance to the tourist city ask which make San Francisco<\/a> something that people are interested from outside in coming and visiting. Its such animation story when you think about the 10 years that the community spent talking about this seurb but we actually did something about it. Now we have an order unanimouses put in place to protect 100,000 residents in San Francisco<\/a> and retrospective in 2020. So on behalf of residents and employees in San Francisco<\/a>, we want to say thank you for the work youve done in pushing this forward and making people more aware of these issues. And it was a fantastic community effort. So in an earth quake, what happens in these kinds of buildings . What happens when an earthquake comes along is it moves the ground both horizontally and vertically. Its mostly the horizontal that were worried about. It starts moving the Building Back<\/a> and forth and pushing on it. When you see im pushing on it, the upper stiff of the wall stay straight up but the lower floors, they actually collapse just like i did there. Luckily, we can put this building right back up where it came from so its a lot easier. Now kelly, obviously these arent real frame walls here but when you talk about buildings, what makes the property for stiff . The easiest and most costeffective type of bracing you can put in is either put in a brand new wall or to potentially go in and strengthen a wall thats already there where you dont need to have an opening is where you maybe have a garage door or access to commercial space, you might go to a steel frame or other types of bracing systems that provides the strength and stiff if necessary but at the same time, allows continued use of that area. But some combination of walls or frames or other tools that are in the tool kit that can bring the building up to the strength thats required in order to remove the vulnerability from the building so that when ground shaking comes, it in fact is a whole lot more resistant and less vulnerable. Ideally, this story down here would be made as strong and stiff as the floors above. If im a property owner, what is the first thing i should do . The first thing you should do is find professional that can come in and help you evaluate your building in order to, 1, figure out that indeed it does need to be retro fitted and 2, give you some idea of what that retro fit might look like. And third, evaluation and design to help you determine the retro fit requirement. Well kelly, i cant thank you enough for being here today. Thank you so much for your wealth of information on how we can take care of our soft story problem in San Francisco<\/a>. And you the viewer, if you have any questions, please feel free to visit our website clapping. i think we have more companies anywhere in the United States<\/a> its at the amazing statement were not trying to be flashy or shocking just trying to create something new and original were one of the things about the conduct our you enter and turn your your back and just so the orchestra. The most contrary composer of this time if you accountability his music you would think hes a camera come important he become ill and it was crazy he at the end of his life and pushed the boundary to think were not acceptable at this point for sure it had a great influence he was a great influence on the harmonic language on the contemporary up to now. I thought it would be interesting because they have e he was contemporary we use him on this and his life was you kill our wife you get poisons all those things are Great Stories<\/a> for on opera. I was leaving behind a little bit which those collaborative dancers i was really trying to focus on opera. A friend of mine said well, what would you really want to do i said opera what is it not opera parallel. Why isnt it are that i have the support now we can do that. I realized that was something that wasnt being done in San Francisco<\/a> no other organization was doing this as opposed to contemporary we are very blessed in San Francisco<\/a> to have organizations well, i thought that was going to be our speciality you create a conceptual idea for setting the opera and you spear ahead and work with the other sdierndz to create an overview vision thats the final product felt opera. I was very inspired to work with him because the way he looked at the key is the way i looked at sports looking at the daily. So much our mandate is to try to enter disis particular work theres great dancers and theatre actresses and choirs weve worked with and great video artists is a great place to collect and collaborate. I had a model they have a professionally music yes, maam assemble and as a student i benefited from being around this professional on and on soccer ball and as a conductor id be able to work with them and its helped my growth i had a dream of having a professional residential on and on soccer ball to be an imperial it operates as a laboratory we germ a national the ideas technically and work with activity artists and designers and video all over the on any given project to further the way we tell stories to improve our ability to tell stories on stage. Thats part of the opera lab i was to investigate that aspect of renaissance and new work so thats why this piece it is important it was a renaissance composer. There were young people that are not interested in seeing traditional opera and like the quality and its different it has a story telling quality every little detail is integrated and helps to capture the imagination and thats part of the opera how we can use those colors into the language of today. So one of the great things of the stories of opera and story combined with opera music it allows people to let go and be entertained and enjoy the music instead of putting on headphones. Thats what is great about art sometimes everyone loves it because you have to, you know, really great you have to have both some people dont like it and some people do were concerned about that. Its about thirty something out there thats risky. You know, disliked by someone torn apart and thats the whole point of what were drying to do you never take this for granted you make sure it is the best if you can. A lot of water heater in San Francisco<\/a> look like this may be yours doesnt too do you know it is the post earthquake problems well show you to brace our water heater hi, everybody im patrick director of quarter safety for the city and county of San Francisco<\/a> welcome to another episode of stay safe today, well talk about bracing water heaters water heater failure is a leading problem with earthquake fires you have a a Single Source<\/a> youll have in our home. How are you. So what are we looking here. This is a water heater 3 weighs from 200 to nine hundred pound during an earthquake that weight will try to move sideways we need to secure is. Well brace the water heater our model home in south of market well use a simple kit interest the Hardware Stores<\/a> from 20 it the the clean up itself single thing to do what necessary look like. This is what youll find in our kit a inch and a half wide strap to attach to the wall around the water heater and so you want to compare this in some garages around the city and state which is called plumbers tape innovate as strong and we need to brace the water heater if you find this youll want to replace it with a streetscaping kit. Weve put blocking so that way we streetscape the water heater a nice fit it is important and important probation officer mention you need to move our water heater to strap is it talk about to a license plumber theyll come out with a firm once we streetscape those obviously we want to follow the manufactures instructions. Typically the instructions will require the strap one strap be installed to fit the top third of the water heater and the bottom on the bottom 1 3rd away from the controls if it is above a certain size 50 gallons a third trai e streetscape in the middle of the water heater. A lot of time i see older water heaters on the ground obviously explain why this is required and the mr. Chairman is required if you pa a water are hereto in the garage gas fumes can accommodate and the pilot light will ignite the fumes so you want to above the grouped level. So why not go ahead and he get started with the bracing. Were joined with peter from construction hell help us there you have it for not a lot of 340e7b in a short time we were able to reduce the risks as you can see secure and even in a big rumble bell not going to come losses thank you for watching well give is one more big push as you can see withhou good morning, everyone and welcome to the peoples palace and im here this morning to announce yet another milestone in our citys commitment to raise the minimum wage to 15 an hour by and people will work this fourth of july weekend we are celebrating our countries birthday but recognizing in the celebration throughout the weekend people like the people had that are standing with me are working whether the restaurants or hotels or Health Care Workers<\/a> and others and and we all feel for working people that is hard in our expensive city to survive unless you have a december sent wage thats why a couple of years ago i destined or joibd the board of supervisors full board of supervisors to place before the voters an 15 an hour minimum wage and people that work in all those industries we did it together and were celebrating because today it goes from 12. 25 an hour to 13 and up to 15 and after that cpi takes over i want to remind everybody this city was brought together with our labor unions and your working families made up of all the exit are represents our city and got this done in a strong collaboration with everyone and showed not only the cities around the bay area but the state of california if we got together and thought about peoples lives what glosses the challenges every day we can get this done for them i think were happy here to see the wages go up are rehappy yeah, well have more to celebrate in addition to, of course, the bitter of our nation and things we enjoy we picked this date it is a significant move and i also want to say that we know that our workforce all those peoples here they are still an affordability gap so this is going to help people he you go that suggest that a lot of people are working two jobs to support their families we want to celebrate those moms were all ushth together to help them but for also myself and mayor libby schaaf of oakland that recognizes our workforce is more regional than ever do more than benefit the residents that work in our city and so we joined. Today and cities that are committed along with cities like new york and seattle and los angeles and portland and the others also raised their minimum wage we want to the state of california to do the same thing because what could happen i think all the labor advocates know and people that we raised our minimum wage just and ourselves in the city of San Francisco<\/a> or just in oakland we would probably be golden state talent that belongs to where everybody lives and not as affordable to them as it is to those were helping so mayor libby schaaf and along with the united Health Care Workers<\/a> started a process and emigrate hundreds of thousands of snatches set the minimum wage higher of 15 an hour tour the state of california in uniting all the cities with the labor unions and workforces and people good minded across the region we got the governors attendance and the state of california attendance such that a few months ago governor jerry brown signed the legislation to raise the states entire minimum wage for everyone for 15 an hour over a period of time those movements wouldnt happen unless we place the needs of workingclass families that work hard to build that consensus im here to join in the celebration and here to say that im going to be working this weekend as well as in addition the celebrating but also acknowledge the people that always serve us at the hotels and restaurants and people that are working the janitorial and Building Maintenance<\/a> and all working class in the city were there to be of help this will be consistent raising the minimum wage to attack affordability challenges is part of solution paid parental leave is part of the solution making sure that we work so that no one is a theft of their wages thats why your head of the department the labor enforcement is joining us with the advocates of people that earn those wages im saying they earn every single penny they deserve to make sure they get it in their hands thats why we announce these and make sure that everybody is prepared adequately ahead of time to make sure those wages are paid and wage theft we have to make sure that our workforce that speaks many languages dont get capture and been take advantage of this is how we really in city year ago we have a benefit and make sure that everybody obtains that benefit i want to say at that moment im proud of the working folks in San Francisco<\/a> but the intensify region and proud of state of california and your legislation for working with the governor to a raise the minimum wage that adds to the celebration of the fourth of july and makes that more meaningful and then we hope that the entire nation does this as well question hear a lot of stories from a lot of places across the country that the liveability is under challenged or were taking care of business in the city and state and lets go on the National Level<\/a> and support of the prosperous country to make sure they get a december sent wage wsip think we have paula to speak for her experience and what that means to her paula clapping. good morning.
