Yeah,
you
got
the
christmas
spirit
going
all
right,
so
we'll
start
off
with
a
review
of
our
work
plan
and
there
are
a
few
changes
to
the
work
plan
which
I'd
like
to
see.
If
my
colleagues
could
make
a
motion
to
accept
so
number
one
would
be
a
request
for
item
d3.
The
retirement
plans,
investment
annual
report
to
be
moved
to
our
consent
calendar
as
item
number
c2
for
today
and
then
the
second
would
be
request
for
item
number
d1.
A
C
Hi,
thank
you.
Thank
you
for
allowing
public
comment
on
on
this
item
on
on
items
that
will
be
dropped
and
moved
and
shifted.
I
think
that's
a
really
important
feature
of
a
public
meeting
process
and
that
that
doesn't
always
happen
with
when
items
are
dropped.
So
I
just
want
to
thank
yourselves
for
doing
that
for
this
item.
C
I
really
wanted
to
talk
about
the
the
fire
department
in
in
high-rise
buildings
today,
but
I
guess
that
will
be
put
off
until
another
time
and
I
get,
I
think
the
timing
of
it
is
is
interesting
and
important,
and
I
thank
yourselves
as
a
city
government
for
doing
that.
The
other
item
I
I
wanted
to
also
comment
on,
but
it
is
escape
my
mind
exactly
what
it
is
you'll
be
doing,
but
it
will
be
talked
about
today.
C
A
All
right,
thank
you,
blair
and
that
closes
our
public
comment.
I'm
just
going
to
look
over
one
more
time.
We
do
have
some
members
of
the
public
that
are
on
phone,
so
I'll.
Just
make
a
note
that
if
you
aren't
on
a
phone,
you
do
have
to
click
star
nine,
to
raise
your
hand
to
speak
and
I'll
give
it
just
a
second
in
case
anybody
wanted
to.
A
B
C
Thank
you
for
this
item
this.
This
is
kind
of
the
your
business
plans
for
at
this
time,
and
the
memo
offers
a
lot
of
your
different
tax
plans
for
how
you'll
be
asking
taxes
of
the
community
and
businesses,
and
I
felt
this
may
be
a
pr
appropriate
time
to
kind
of
sum
up.
The
the
words
I've
heard
this
week
that
were
really
interesting
to
myself
in
council
meetings
from
council
persons,
carrasco
and
esparza.
C
About
kind
of
you
know.
Hopefully
you
know
where
the
business
the
small
business
community
itself
is
going
to
be
and
what
I
learned
yesterday
at
rules
and
open
government.
The
small
business
community
is
going
to
be
under
a
lot
of
stress
this
winter.
With
all
the
covet
issues,
and
I
it's,
we
may
be
learning
trying
to
learn
an
important
concept
at
this
time
that
it's
not
just
the
loan
process
that
we
have
to
respect
that
can
help
us
out
at
this
time.
C
But
we
really
have
to
count
on
what
I've
tried
to
stress
all
fall
is
the
ideas
of
funding
issues
from
the
state
and
federal
level
and
how
they
can
really
really
help
small
businesses.
At
this
time,
ashkara
and
david
chu
assembly
persons
who
work
at
the
state
level
have
been
trying
to
do.
You
know
an
extraordinary
amount
of
good
work
on
this
subject
to
try
to
help
out
our
local
communities
and
those
efforts,
and
it's
really
uncomfortable
to
want
to
accept
that
sort
of
money
and
to
work
on
in
terms
of
funding.
C
But
this
is
an
extraordinary
time
in
an
extraordinary
situation
and
that's
what
council
person
esparza
was
trying
to
stress.
Sometimes
we
save
and
and
practice
our
good
practices
as
a
country,
but
in
times
of
emergency
that
we're
in
now.
I
I
hope
in
the
next
few
years
it
can
be
acceptable
to
work
on
these
funding
ideas
and
when
we
can
be
open
to
the
funding
structures.
Thank
you.
A
A
D
Yes,
sir
council
member,
I'm
captain
mcfadden
and
good
morning,
council
members,
I
guess
we
can
go
ahead
and
get
started.
As
you
know,
I'm
here
to
provide
an
update
on
the
downtown
foot
patrols
and
the
high
knee
neighborhood
foot
patrols
in
2014.
The
downtown
foot
patrol
program
was
implemented
to
enhance
downtown
safety
and
security
to
support
ongoing
services
and
apprehend
apprehension
projects.
It
was
also
used
to
allow
specialized
units,
such
as
the
downtown
services
unit,
to
focus
on
high
crime
activity.
D
D
D
We
want
to
utilize
that
funding
to
impact
some
of
these
hot
spots.
With
targeted
enforcement
throughout
the
city,
let's
go
on
to
the
staffing
model.
Now,
as
you
can
see
in
the
staffing
chart,
the
staffing
model
has
changed.
We
once
were
operating
with
the
staff
of
one
sergeant
and
four
officers
monday
through
friday,
five
hours
a
day
during
daytime
and
evening
hours
under
our
six
hundred
thousand
dollar
budget.
D
D
As
displayed
in
the
chart
in
2013,
we
received
200
000
to
kick
the
program
off
the
city,
and
the
department
saw
the
value
in
the
program
and
increased
the
funding
two
to
three
times
over
the
2013
value.
The
allocated
funding
has
varied
over
the
years,
which
has
resulted
in
the
staffing
and
deployment
model
fluctuating.
D
Therefore,
the
model
has
shifted,
with
the
focus
weighing
much
more
heavily
on
high
visibility,
foot
patrol
and
positive
non-enforcement
contacts
to
where
we
can
focus
on
relationship
building
with
not
only
the
business
context,
but
also
the
community
members
not
only
downtown,
but
also
in
the
high
needs
areas.
It's
going
to
high
knees
on
neighborhoods
and
foot
patrols.
Now.
D
D
D
A
C
C
I
feel
you
know
that
a
foot
patrol
is
always
like
a
needed
service,
especially
in
a
downtown
area.
I
think
it
builds.
You
know,
friendship
and
community
and
trust,
and
I
I
think
it's
an
incredibly
good
practice,
and
so
you
know
in
this
time
of
covid.
You
know
there
were
issues
there
have
been
issues
in
downtown
and
to
think
that
there's
a
foot
patrol
service,
I
think
that
that's
helpful
and-
and
you
know,
people
persons
like
I-
I
don't
know
his
rank,
but
jason
dwyer
officer
dwyer.
C
You
know
he
would
he
would
swear
he.
It
was
important
to
him
that
officers
were
patrolling,
but
that
should
take
precedence
over
say
technology
and
that's
that
in
itself
is,
is
a
great
concept
to
consider
that
he
trusts
the
idea
of
one-on-one
dialogue
and
relationships
come
over
over
the
use
of
technology
in
the
downtown
area.
C
You
know
it's,
it's
it's
endless
infinite.
What
it
can
help
with.
I
I
to
call
it
equity.
I
hope
we're
questioning
the
use
of
of
the
police
in
the
community,
as
as
equity
equity,
should
be
serving
more
residents
and
and
and
people
who
you
know
what
what
the
hell
they
need,
and
I
don't
doubt
you
know
the
police
help
the
community
process,
but
just
so
that
we're
thinking
of
these
things
is
important
at
this
time,
and
thank
you
for
this
item.
E
Hi
sparky
harlan
ceo
bill
wilson
center.
I
wasn't
planning
to
speak
on
this
item,
but
it
seemed
to
be
timely
in
that
I'm
one
of
the
co-chairs
of
the
behavioral
health
contractors
association
committee
working
on
developing
cbo
mobile
crises,
response
to
the
community
to
divert
some
of
these
9-1-1
calls
bill.
Wilson
center
currently
runs
the
behavioral
health
in-home
outreach
teams,
which
means
we're
already
going
into
these
homes,
and
we
also
go
into
the
encampments
working
with
mentally
challenged
homeless
populations.
E
So
one
of
the
things
we're
talking
about
doing
is
putting
in
community
collaborators
people
from
that
community
who
can
help
train
people
when
you
have
these
issues,
don't
call
police
call
this
non-profit
and
partly
solve
it
yourself.
When
you
have
a
noise
incident,
a
homeless
incident,
partly
we
want
to
train
community
again
to
handle
these
situations,
so
we
hope
you
will
consider
in
your
budget
this
year
some
funds
to
help
us.
E
F
Hello,
thank
you.
I
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
talk.
My
name
is
ted,
as
councilman
brawl
has
indicated,
with
the
bayview
development
group,
we're
building
the
apartments
across
from
city
hall
and
over
the
last
couple
of
years
under
construction,
we've
encountered
a
lot
of
fairly
significant
public
safety
issues
and,
as
opposed
to
sort
of
the
point
that
the
previous
speaker
was
making
some
of
these
public
safety
issues
have
been
physical
threats
and
attacks
against
some
of
the
workers
there
brandishing
of
weapons.
F
In
the
face
of
people
who
work
for
the
san
jose
water
department,
just
trying
to
connect
water
to
the
building,
it
got
bad
enough
that
that
they
basically
refused
to
work
without
armed
protection
and
it
became
you
know
somewhat
challenging,
and
we
were
trying
to
go
through
the
voluntary
police
overtime
process
and
we
actually
couldn't
get
police
officers.
I
guess
my
key
point
here
is
the
voluntary
nature
of
the
way
that
it's
been
executed.
F
F
I
feel
like
that.
The
perception
and
the
reality
of
public
safety
is
is
a
key
impediment
to
that
currently,
just
as
a
case
in
point
even
city
hall,
hires,
private
security
for
its
own
employees.
You
know
pre
and
post
code
that
I
hope
for
its
own
employees
in
the
morning
in
the
evening
to
make
sure
they
can
walk
to
their
own
garage
safely.
What
is
that?
F
Where
does
that
leave
the
rest
of
us,
so
very
much
in
favor
of
downtown
foot
patrols
would
love
to
see
it
would
love
to
see
it
funded,
but
on
a
non-violent
voluntary
basis,
preferably
happy
to
meet
anyone
on
the
committee
to
in
front
of
the
clariana
any
evening
or
at
the
corner
of
saint
john
and
fifth,
to
talk
about
it
at
length.
So
thank
you
very
much
for
listening.
G
G
You
don't
have
the
the
budget
or
the
deployment
model
to
make
it
work.
You
just
heard
that.
So
that's
really
where
the
city
needs
to
be
thinking
is.
Do
you
want
to
make
the
commitment
to
having
a
foot
patrol
you
have
to
change
the
model?
Completely.
Things
are
tough
downtown.
You
just
heard
from
from
ted
there's
real
crimes
that
are
happening.
We
have
a
lot
less
eyes
on
the
street
because
of
the
pandemic.
G
There's
break-ins
vandalism
constantly
I'm
concerned
that
our
members
downtown
have
just
given
up
the
police,
have
not
enforced
low-level
crimes
for
years.
They've
just
stopped
crying
they've
just
stopped
calling
and
reporting-
and
I
know,
with
your
new
equity
model-
that's
important.
I'm
going
to
I'm
going
to
really
get
on
our
members
to
keep
dialing
9-1-1
in
in
3-1-1.
You
may
be
aware
that
we
hire
off-duty
secondary
employment
officers.
We
know
we're
a
high
need
area.
G
We
spent
220
000
dollars
last
year,
that's
more
deployment
than
you
have
in
your
foot
patrol
program
because
we're
paying
seu
rates
instead
of
ot
rates.
So
if
you,
if
the
nature
of
policing
is
really
changing
here,
you've
got
to
make
a
difference
and
and
change
the
way
you're
going
to
do.
Foot
patrols.
A
A
There's
a
petition
going
around
right
now
through
the
downtown
court,
similar
kind
of
conversation,
but
I
think
at
the
same
time
there's
also
always
a
high
need
for
officers
and
specifically
foot
patrol
officers.
I
think
there's
a
there's
a
different
sense
of
security
and
there's
also
a
different
build
of
community
policing.
A
The
overtime
model
is
not
working
as
efficiently
as
I
would
personally
like,
and
I
know
as
our
downtown
stakeholders
would
like.
I
would
love
to
see
something
that
is
more
permanent,
something
that
would
actually
be
a
permanent
walking
beat
in
the
downtown
core,
and
I
think
the
right
opportunity
to
do
that
is,
as
we
go
through
our
redistricting
process
with
the
police
department
that
we
would
have
been
going
through
now.
A
But
we
unfortunately
were
not
able
to
include
that
into
the
budget
this
year
due
to
our
budget
deficit,
and-
and
that
is
something
that
I
think
will
be
important
and
captain
mcfadden.
I
hope
that
you'll
be
able
to
support
that
and
we
can
work
together
to
to
make
something
like
that,
a
reality
in
the
near
future.
A
H
H
My
question
is
related
to
the
the
difference
between,
because
I
didn't
know
I
didn't.
I
guess
I
didn't
quite
understand
the
difference
between
the
secondary
employment
rate
versus
the
overtime
rate.
What
what
is
that
difference?
How
significant
is
that
is,
that
is
that
gap,
maybe
that's
to
sergeant
mcfadden
or
mr
mcfadden
or
anyone
that
can
answer
it.
C
D
D
H
Well,
maybe
I
asked
the
question
incorrectly
so
so
I
I
can
understand
how
the
overtime
rate
is
probably
more
costly
if
we're
thinking
about
it
in
terms
of
the
cost
of
the
department
of
the
city
right.
But
I
guess
what
I'm
curious
about
is
what
is
what
is
if
I
was
an
officer
which
one
of
those
pays
more
secondary
employment
or
overtime.
H
Because
I
think
scott
niece
made
a
comment,
and
I
don't
know
if
he
had
it
flipped
and
or
someone
made
a
comment
about
that.
So
I
was
just
trying
to
understand
and
do
you
have
a
sense?
You
don't
need
to
go
in
the
exact
dollar
figures,
but
a
sense
as
to
how
big
that
gap
is
between
overtime
and
secondary
employment.
D
A
And
I
can
try
to
help
get
those
numbers.
I,
the
secondary
employment,
is
a
flat
rate.
No
matter
who
you
are
councilman,
jimenez
and
overtime
is,
is
based
on
your
own
salary,
so
it
would
depend
on
who
it
is.
You
know
doing
that
that
that
job
at
a
at
a
time
and
a
half
type
of
rate,
depending
on
on
what
it
is,
that
they're
doing.
E
B
A
A
All
right,
thank
you.
The
motion
passes
unanimously
that
closes
our
regular
agenda
and
that
now
takes
us
on
to
open
forum,
and
we
have
one
speaker,
blair,
beekman
and
if
you'll
excuse
me
blair
I'll
hand
over
the
gavel
to
councilman
jimenez
and
I'm
gonna
go
kick
off
vision,
zero
and
we'll
see
you
over
there
blair.
C
C
You
know
you're
in
negotiations
with
the
poa
for
their
contract
for
the
next
few
years
and
san
francisco
is,
you
know
their
headlong
into
their
work
and
I
don't
know
exactly
where
they
are,
but
it
will
be
setting
a
standard
for
basically
the
bay
area,
how
to
work
on
the
issue.
But
from
that
you
know,
each
city
and
community
can
work
on
their
own
poa
practices,
and
you
know
I
think
it's
been
pretty
clear
by
now
that
inflation
is
not
going
to
be
an
issue
in
2021
and
for
as
difficult
as
times
it
may
be.
C
That's
that
is
comforting,
and
it's
with
that,
but
I
don't
think
we
have
to
you
know
that's
a
way
to
consider
cola
funding
for
for
the
next
year.
You
know
what
we
may
what's
my
personal
feeling
that
we
can
put
off
cola.
Next
year,
and
then
they
can
have
a
raise
in
2022
and
2023,
maybe
as
these
work
in
packages,
but
these
packages
are
also
there's
many
other
factors
that
go
into
the
package.
C
That's
an
important
concept
in
and
of
itself
that
david
sykes
did
a
great
job
to
to
allow
that
and
to
consider
that
you
know
for
both
government
and
the
public,
because
places
like
san
francisco
were
having
a
difficult
time
for
their
government
to
be
able
to
to
talk
to
the
the
negotiation
process.
So
thanks
and
that's
my
hopeful
help
for
today
see
you
guys
later.
Thank.
