I offered amendment to say that policy Staffing Levels should be Police Levels should be through a disciplinary process and not on population i argued there were many other factors that should be considered Crime Statistics and police load and plaza practices we need to balance the pagers and similar soundproducing Electronic Devices are prohibited at this meeting. Police staffing with other Vital Services that helps to prevent crime education and other social Services Housing as well unfortunately my amendments were voted by 6 to 5 for the resolution was sent to committee today, the budget analyst released that best practices for the staffing level they conclude that a minimum staffing level based on population is not considered a rigorous and ann lively goal that counts for the departments conditions i plan to hold this to set the staff through a disciplinary process for stakeholders and last years budget we unanimously approved Police Hiring but not smart about department of Emergency Services how 9 police have Staffing Levels i hope that is a first step to a nuance and rigorous approach to elevating the Police Staffing and colleagues directing your attention to item 51 on todays agenda it is resolution slightly modest resolution we had before us last january, december a resolution that didnt pass this resolution was looking at the killers of eric garden and mike brown in ferguson and looking at the issues of policing in San Francisco that led to the killings of alex at this time we were reilly especially clapping. in the Latino Community we didnt feel that there was a strong sense of investigation nor a sense of justice and the killing of alex and today, im bringing this forward again, this resolution calls on further investigations for the federal government to look at the killing of alex and other killings that happened like the killing clapping. the use of lopez this year. clapping. and the ois of mario woods in each of those cases disputes within the public what truly happened and people didnt feel there which is a thorough and balanced investigation from the Police Department and so it make sense as were calling for the federal investigation of moodys that the other controversial recent officer involved shooting killings occurred in the couple of years occur in that investigation before us today so we can vote on the rest i submit thank you. Supervisor avalos supervisor breed thank you.

Espanola jackson i wanted to i was listening to the song today it happened to come on the radio im sorry ms.

Supervisor campos. Thank you madam president i think just recycle it was appropriate to ask that we adjourn in memory of dr. Espanola jackson as a whole board ill ask the same thing for the gentleman make sense. Colleagues well take that without objection. To you supervisor campos. Thank you want to note a couple of points first there is a request that im submitting asking did budget analyst to do a followup report on shortterm rentals requests that arose at the last hearing how many units of how are you are being used as shortterm rentals so amongst the questions were asking the budget analyst and legislative analyst how many units are used in the industry how much the city has collected in taxes with respect to shortterm rentals and out of the thousands of units rentcontrolled unit who is that is pga taxing to the 71 and lastly how the city is enforcing the hosted and nonholstered shortterm rentals the second item that is something that is still to be honest i think we collectively have it probable been aware of as much the issue we have a shortage of teachers in San Francisco united we have a shortage of substitute teachers ive leader recently from a number of parents at one of the schools that many kids and many classrooms because the school board is having a tough time understanding teachers classrooms are consolidate that impacts the quality of education that the children have we did research and found the district it finding issues with substitutes in one out of 10 classrooms in San FranciscoUnified School District it is happening because of the housing crisis because the School District not only is unable to hire teachers who candles afford to live in San Francisco but that inability for teachers to live in San Francisco is making it so that we dont have give you enough substitutes to fill the classrooms ill calling for a hearing that asks the question when what we can do to help the School District address those issues we cant talk about how to raise families if were not making it so the teachers can live in the city and county of San Francisco today clapping. i have a couple of items that i want to talk about and i want to thank supervisor cowen for her Charter Amendment i want to be added a cosponsor and supervisor peskin has the distinction of serving as a supervisor longer than me i happen to be the Senior Member of the current board of supervisors as that one of the things i think that is important to think about what this system that we have in place are adequate enough to really address the challenges of the city i think the question of the eject is an example of that here you have an agency that does have the authority on its own to begin the investigations including an officer involved shooting it makes sense for us to revisit that system and see what changes to be made but i actually building clapping that that is the tip of the iceberg that whether it is Police Reform or other issues we have to go beyond and one of the things ill ask we as the board to revisit is the structure of the question of time between the mayor and the board of supervisors the way it works right now is we submit written questions to mayor ed lee who comes here and provides a response that is also written but under those no opportunity to actually have a followup discussion on whether or not the question or the answers that were priority actually got to the bottom of how to deal with the issue at heart when that is the case i think we have an obligation to revisit this i believe that we need to figure out how we actually provide the public with a more mooeveng discussion continue this board and our mayor so i will be exploring as in the past amendments to question time in the mayors so have an opportunity to have a followup question that will happen if supervisor peskin had had the opportunity to do that and since were talking about dr. Espanola jackson ill simple make this statement one of the things i love and replaced about dr. Espanola jackson was that doctor im sorry shes doctor dr. Jackson was not afraid to call it as she saw it and to stand for what they believed and one thing ill say as an elected officials most importantly as a citizen the city ive been very disturbed by some of the allegations that came out in the last few days around possible corruption in this building and i know that people have strong views as an elected official im tell you that makes my blood boil when people do some of the things that these folks are being skewed it it makes us look bad address diminishes City Government and one things in the tshirt of dreamforce to commit the resources to make sure that we have a transparent and cleanair act local government and we possible can to that end the Ethics Commission has been asked by the Mayors Office to cut its budget i want to pubically go on record the supervisor i will not support a budget that cuts funding for the Ethics Commission i think that given the questions that have been raised by the District Attorney and the City Attorney this is the time to increase the funding for that the Ethics Commission not cut it liv calling names clapping. leann has made that clear foot recommending cutting that budget go in fact, recommending and then increase of budget i think this board of supervisors should wholeheartedly support thank you the rest i submit.
