. -- sfpd uses. even police officers were tear guest that night -- teargassed that night. the protesters with a forced to help them after their fellow police officers guest them. i would encourage supervisors not to support any kind of dispersal of the camp. we have seen, time and again, that the people of san francisco and the bay area, we will come out in the dead of night and we will stay out there to defend the camp. you have all seen it. people here have been there. we will not be pushed around. we will not let the cops tell us what to do. we are here and we are going to take a stand. thank you. [beep] supervisor avalos: next speaker, please. >> thank you for this resolution. thank you for being a part of the encampment. for the people that are fighting for these amazing goals. my name is donna wilma. i teach at city college. i find it ironic that concerns about public health are being used to try to shut down encampment's across the country. the kind of public health that i teach is rooted in social justice we know that when people are part of empowered communities,

i do not want the sfpd out there as the bad guys. i saw something recently about cycling in the city of copenhagen, which we all hold up as a role model that we want to be like. the article said it to 25 years to get where they are, and we have tenures of may be good bicycle encouragement under our belt, so we have a way to go. in copenhagen, they are not tolerant of scofflaw cyclists. someone got a tip of running around without lights, and i do not know how much it was, but i think that is what we need to do. we have enough cyclists. we have to remind them that with the rights, responsibilities. we need to make its of the cyclists feel safe and give them a good set of rules. again, i do not want the s&p to simply be the bad guys on this. i just want this to be something where we are talking about safety and where we are talking about cycling, it is an accepted form. we need to hold ourselves, we need to hold ourselves accountable. president nolan: i will ask them to look at that, especially working with the other agencies. vice chai

that incident, myself and deputy director nicholas king looked into the issue, we've talked to both sfpd, managers and representatives of the venue. the venue was violating their good neighborhood policy. and we updated their reviced security plan from fluid. and -- revised their security plan from fluid. one was how to deal with altercations meaning pushing both parties insued outside into the street is not the smartest thing to do and two, aparently, party buses, there's up to three party buses involved in the altercation that evening. and so we wanted an update on their policy, around party buses. they were going to no longer allow party buses at their venue. we'll continue to watch them and follow up on them to see if that is actually the case. officer mathias is here from central and he'll talk about some of the issues that have happened in central station. one that i will bring up is the ambassador club which was an issue the club had with two patrons. security escorted the patrons out in the process one of the security guards was punched in the face, actually had his known broken.

the sfpd and the the sheriff's department began entering the building in force. protestors outside tried to block the entrance. authorities pushed their way in and moved into the lobby in full riot gear and surrounded the squatters. not wanting the worsen the situation, officers and deputies began arresting the protestors slowly, one at a time. for the most part, they faced little resistance and were able to clear the bank and take down the tent by sick pm. if you're wondering -- 6:00 pm. if you're wondering why the protestors targeted bank of america, many of those who came out were cal students opposed to any tuition hike over at berkeley. the reason they came here is that one of the board of regents for the uc system is monica lazano, who also happens to be a bank of america board member. >>> early this morning, san francisco police raided a small section of occupy san francisco's encampment. 15 tents were taken down, seven people were arrested. kron4's reggie is live tonight where protestors held a rally and march earlier today. >> reporter: these occupierce

swim goggles in the event the sfpd decides to escalate and used tear gas, i am not injured. and also a respirator. i do not really know what is going on in the city at this point with our police. i would just ask that the board of supervisors act on their support of occupy sf and try to do what they can to roll in as mayor and the police. supervisor chiu: thank you. there's a role in the chamber the faults are not allowed to bring posters or other large signs. why don't we hear from our next speaker? >> good afternoon, supervisors. i am the vice-president of clinic by the bay. today is a big day for us. it took 12 years to develop clinic by the bay. it provides health services to the working uninsured. today, we are celebrating our 1- year anniversary in san francisco. we are part of a national program that has 85 clinics in 25 states. we are serving the working uninsured in supervisor avalos' district and supervisor cohen's district as well as daly city. what is truly remarkable is the diversity of the neighborhood we are serving. thank you for your support and others that

>> we are working collaborative with sfpd to make sure we have the proper measures in place, which we just went through. you will see them implemented in this game, and we will continue to abound with them, as we do after every game. what can we do to make sure that this is a fun environment so that families can come out and enjoy candlestick park? >> i will be at the game myself and them very much looking forward to it. >> [inaudible] the number that were there on saturday night? >> no. >> do you know if the raiders perhaps agree with your thoughts on postponing the game? >> we have talked about that. this is our recommendation. we will continue to talk to the raiders about this as a pro- active steps to make sure that these incidents do not happen. >> a lot of the tickets that were picked up were going pretty cheap on the internet. the mayor talking about season- ticket holders being partly responsible. they are selling them on the internet, which is why you have the crowds. >> we need them to be responsible to whom they sell to. we need to hold them responsible as well, to a large

i just want to support supervisor kim's, i think, gestures and line of questioning with regard to sfpd about the need for really capitalizing on the idea of community policing so that is a two-way street and more engaging for the committee to be able to access this outpost, this satellite. i think that is where you were going. i think this is an evolves idea that the midmarket area merits, but the idea of trying to get greater engagement between public and sfpd ad community, those who reside and do business there, is something i think should be more forward. i am hoping that this strategy is more inviting of that. i think that this is a good start, but it looks like it could use some further development. supervisor chu: thank you, supervisor. if there are no of up -- no other comments, the item is before us. ok, we have got a motion to send the item forward with recommendations. >supervisor mirkarimi: so moved. supervisor chu: we have a second. i would like the groups to work together to let us know what the secondary options if the $500,000 cannot actually be approved. that is still u

when you will see lists of sfpd incidents. the permit officer will go over some of the happenings in his district. just as director caen said earlier, if the commissioners have any questions on those incidents, i can answer them. you'll also see lists of citations given out over the last month. any questions on those sheets? >> the pub, what was the permit violation? >> it was open after 2:00 and blocking the sidewalk and partially the street. moving part of the interior of the pub to the exterior environment in the form of tables and chairs for the world's cup rugby tournament. >> i am in that neighborhood and i don't usually see that kind of action. i was curious. president newlin: any public comment on the executive director's report? seeing none, item 4. police department comments and questions. >> good evening, commissioners and staff. a couple incidents over the last couple of weeks. we were out their halloween weekend. a couple things on sunday at club horizon. a brief narrative. a 19-year-old male operated, -- entered,

producing this work order would reduce the sfpuc -- reducing this work order reduce the asset -- sfpd is on the streets. this would reduce service speeds. i am not sure we would reduce the work orders to help traffic. this is just one example, and that would be happy to discuss the specifics with you. like i said, i am open to discussing areas where work orders could be reduced to enhance services and bring down costs. but to do one without the other would be counterproductive. that said, while bringing muni cost down -- that will most likely come from strategy is like savings under prodigy. we can see impacts of this in future this will years. also, we d

estimated cost of the proposed new lease, including the one-time cost to renovate the space, for the sfpd substation is up to $853,293, including the money from the redevelopment agency funds for renovation and up to $353,293 for rent based on an annual 3% cpi increase, and that would be over the potential nine-year lease term if the options are exercised. given that the proposed resolution to approve a new lease for the new police substation would be funded with a general fund revenues, we consider approval to this resolution and a policy decision for the board. supervisor chu: thank you. let's open up public comment. are there any members of the public who wish to speak on this item? >> hi, i am ellen, and i work on central market street as part of the partnership. i deal with helping businesses come in and also work on the ground with the businesses that have been there for a very long time. that is one of the biggest things we hear, they want more police presence. i highly encourage you to get down there on 6th street, because it will not only help the overall safety of the area, but

sfpd said there's zero tolerance booze policy and people caught drinking in public will be arrested. >> i wish it was the way it was about 25 years ago. >> tell me how that was? >> very busy, but very organized, and very uneventful as far as crime or anything. and just a lot of fun. >> crime just ruined it. it's great that we can come out and enjoy san francisco. halloween is the biggest gay holiday in the united states. >> many businesses agree, but some feel there are too many police officers to street. >> we asked the cops about the presence and heads to protect us, which is fair enough. >> you think it a little over kill? >> yes. i asked in the halloween block party will make a come back and he said it won't because it gets to violent. >> parole agents are cracking down on sex offenders tonight to make sure that children are safe this halloween. it's all part of operation boo, an effort to make sure the predators are operating in their release restrictions. the agents will seek out offenders at their homes there are many that are transients. >> sex offenders who are transients wi

we know it would take the board of supervisors and the dpw and the sfpd and others involved to get us going better. pens and plumes would be a public project that could involve the corridor from the very building to the castro, or from columbus to pier 39. it would help us economically in the city to do this project. it would be modeled after the boulevard of stars. it would be the pens and plumes of san francisco. it would be a plume

one question that i have, i would like to know what sfpd has spent on its "training exercises, raids," and what they have spent so far. with all of the city suffering social-service cuts, we are in deep trouble. i think that this is important, for citizens and city government to be accountable, i would like to see that what forward. the other thing i would like to say about the occupied movement is that it speaks to the aspirations. to the people of san francisco. to the people around the globe. it is growing. it is growing in san francisco. it will be at all of the neighborhoods. this city needs to respond to the best values of those that live in the city. [beep] please move this resolution forward. thank you. supervisor avalos: thank you. next speaker, please. >> hello. i would like to thank you for this resolution. thank you all for the various ways that you have occupied -- supported occupy san francisco. i know that some of you were there until the wee hours of the morning. national united is supporting occupy, here and -- supporting occupy, hearing and around the country. one of

you can see sfpd is wrapping up the investigation. they just reopened the roadway. it had been shut down between 18th and 21th, but the road is now back open. it's not clear what caused this investigation before 2:00 this morning. three officers were in an unmarked patrol car. that was a few blocks away at 24th. but as they were heading down patrero, something happened where the car swerved across the opposite lanes of traffic and slammed into a light pole. the car was totalled. remarkably, even though the officers were hurt, their injuries are not life threatening. cher expected to be okay. they are take on the nearby sf general. just a couple of blocks away. they were gree greeted by chiefs of police and fire department who made a special visit overnight to check on their brethren to make sure they are doing okay. now, as is standard in an investigation like this, the driver of the car will be tested for alcohol. but there's no indication that the officer was under the influence at the time of the acciden accident. >> all right. bob redell, thanks a lot. >> 6:03 r

. >> regardless, sfpd says the protesters were in violation and there's zero tolerance. they have since placed barricades in the area where protesters set up their tents so if there is an effort to retake the space, it will be difficult to do. so justin herman mad a encampment remains intact. protesters here cleaned up the area since the city declared it a public health nuisance. whether that's enough to prevent a raid here is something we'll know in the coming days. >> in oakland, protesters set up a new encampmentment at the corner of 19th and telegraph. police stood by and watched until this morning. >> alan: here's the latest there. >> reporter: police are going to spend the night to make sure protesters don't rush back. by sunrise the number dwindled to 75 people in 20 tents and police felt the time was right to end it. >> you have five minutes. >> reporter: thin this encampment didn't last morning, this morning at 8:00 protesters woke up to a line of oakland police officers and orders ordeo pack up their tents in 20 minutes. the demonstrators peacefully complied to

we know it would take the board of supervisors and the dpw and the sfpd and others involved to get us going better. pens and plumes would be a public project that could involve the corridor from the very building to the castro, or from columbus to pier 39. it would help us economically in the city to do this project. it would be modeled after the boulevard of stars. it would be the pens and plumes of san francisco. it would be a plume in the sidewalk, and every plume would be the name of a published poet, and i know there are virtually 1000 poets in this city. it is a hub of poetry in the world. i did programs in iraq, egypt, jordan, and israel, and i was amazed at the amount of people in the audience. there were literally thousands of people who came out to listen to their words. supervisor chiu: thank you very much. thank you. next speaker. >> thank you, members of the board. san francisco deserves a fair discussion about rent choice voting -- rank choice voting, it has been successful, how it can be improved, how it is not responsible for all the difficulties san francisco faces an
