can support the involvement and their investment and that you actively work to seek their legitimate input in the designing of this program. thank you. >> thank you, commissioner. thank you for your service. next speaker. if i may please have y'all undivided attention. good afternoon, honorable supervisors and members of the board of ebbv cakes. my name is angel [speaker not understood]. i'm a san francisco college student majoring in political science. i am the youth commissioner for district 10 appointed by supervisor malea cohen. i spent time in group homes and two consecutive years in juvenile hall. since then i've come a long way and thankful for being part of the youth commission in addition to working with the juvenile department. we heard from the youth and what they expect from the m-o-u. we share similar concerns to how you'ring out feel. we believe that including youth in the selection and valuation

of the sro [speaker not understood] between our youth and officers. we, too, believe that adequate training for our police on how to deal with the city's young people will ensure safety between the police and our youth. in our historical joint hearing between the police and the youth commission on march 7th of this year we had three simple recommendations that were agreed to by the chief. one of which included an updated m-o-u and i have three here for you so you guys can see. one of which included an updated m-o-u in addition to a widespread pamphlet and training for officers when encountering youth on the streets. we still don't know what [speaker not understood] on two of those recommendations. however, today fortunately for the youth the m-o-u was the topic on today's agenda. and the youth commission strongly urges you to consider all the recommendations and concerns brought to you by the great city's young people. thank you all for your time.

>> thank you very much, commissioner. (applause) >> and thank you for continuing to serve as an example to the young people in the city. is there any other member of the public who would like to speak? seeing none, public comment is closed. i do think it is important for -- i want to appreciate the school district for taking the time to hear from youth in the community and to get input on the m-o-u. i think it would be helpful at some point to also hear from the police department. i know that they're not here right now. oh, okay, i'm sorry. please come forward. -- please, captain, come forward. thank you, sir, for waiting. >> it is my pleasure. good evening and good evening to everyone in the audience. the police department welcomes, obviously, the input on the

m-o-u from the juvenile commission. as the last commissioner said, there were three points that were brought up i believe it was a march meeting of this year. first being the m-o-u which we still have to finish, but we encourage the youth participation in drafting that m-o-u. the second is the know your rights pamphlet. and i met with superintendent guerrero if at this meeting. the know your rights pamphlet is in my office. ly have them delivered to the school district and they will be distributed. we have prepared those in english, spanish, and chinese language. so, we have three versions. and finally the third issue was the training. members of the san francisco police department are undergoing constant training. recently we drafted a brand-new

juvenile general order that you're probably familiar with, 7.01. we have been undertaking department wide training in that general order. and that general order, for everybody's information, gives juvenile detainees even more rights in san francisco than they're guaranteed by the penal code. it was an exhaustive negotiation to develop that order. we developed it with the asian law caucus and the office of citizens complaints. it is a comprehensive order and all of our officers are being trained in that. with respect to the s-r-os, we do try and get s-r-os into the schools who are -- who have an interest in working with the police are like everyone else in every vocation.

there are good ones and there are some that don't measure up. [speaker not understood] the s-r-o work with the students at the school, we can address that issue if it becomes a problem. but we are trying and we are listening. we've been here all day. >> thank you very much. if you can identify yourself for the folks who are watching. >> i am commander john loft us. i am in charge of the investigations. >> thank you, commander. i appreciate that. my apologies. i didn't realize you were there, so, we thank you for -- if i can simply add something. i think it's wonderful that you're making progress on the three recommendations and certainly the m-o-u being the focus of this hearing, i think it's a good thing. and great with the pamphlet. i do think on the issue of the training, though, i'll be honest and i'll look forward to continuing the conversation with the chief and with the police commission, our expectation was that there would actually be more along those lines, you know. the kind of training that was

envisioned during the joint hearing of the youth commission and the police commission was a best practices training that is unlike anything that was already in the works by the police department. i'm very familiar with the dgo, but it really was training that went beyond the implementation of the dgo. and, in fact, there was a separate presentation where we brought a national expert that made a presentation of the kind of training that they're doing in cities like boston. so, i'm aware that there is some additional training that's being provided, but i really hope that we go beyond what you described. and i think the expectation from the youth commission is that we will go beyond what you described. and, so, i know i just want to make that point because i think that there is a need for additional conversation with the chief of police on that

because what you describe is a good thing, it's a positive development. in my estimation it doesn't go far enough. >> i understand. >> supervisor fewer. >> thank you. i am wondering, do we have to have a m-o-u? do we have to have police in our schools? i think that -- i understand that discipline should be handled by school personnel. we have our trained personnel that deal with discipline. if something is a criminal matter, we can call the police like everybody else. you said the school cards work just fine. i don't understand why we have to have police in our schools. quite frankly, there is a difference between probable cause and reasonable cause. and it is true that our cities have less rights in our schools than they do have on the street. * students considering the police force, 75% of the sworn officers live

outside of san francisco in communities, many communities where they are not used to being with people of color and our schools are 95% students of color, i think that i would like to explore the possibility that we no longer have police officers in our schools and that we have a relationship with the police, of course, in our community policing b with you don't necessarily have to have them on our school site. i think police can be just as effective, quite frankly * . if you call them in, the response time is excellent. i commend you for the training, but i would like, just to bring this to my fellow commissioners, that perhaps we have now started a precedent in our schools that we are looking at a less punitive form of discipline and a more restorative approach. and that perhaps it is a new day that we are not in need of having police officers actually

on our sites. and that if our schools are in need of a police officer when something criminal is happening, then indeed we would call the police. and those rights that the students are learning i think would come into play also at that time. but i think that we should open up the conversation to whether or not this is something that our school district actually needs. and knowing the limited resources that the city has around police services, that maybe they could be better used at the district station. and if we should need their assistance, that, of course we would call. >> commissioner maufus. actually, commissioner mendoza. >> thank you. i have kind of a reverse comment, commissioner fewer. [speaker not understood]. can we just make sure we're thinking about the difference

between our s-r-os and our [speaker not understood] outside of the s-r-o? i think there is a difference in the way in which they're trained and ways in which they relate to our students. and, so, just want to make sure that this is -- actually all of your officers are getting trained to work well with students and that there are some conversations that happen around that. >> working with juveniles is a large part of our training. obviously i agree with you that the s-r-o should receive even more training because if they're going to be in an environment where they're with students for the entire shift, they should get the most training that we can provide them. >> thank you. >> commissioner maufus. >> thank you, chair campos. just a quick comment to commissioner fewer's comment is that, yes, it is a new day, but there are also old practices that happen. and as with turn over and

rotation, you know, if we don't have some sort of memorializing document even denoting the very simplest of understandings about school, school property, who is in charge when something does occur, or who will be the lead, i just think that is really the beginning of why we need an m-o-u just to memorialize those very simple and basic understandings as generations of officers, principals, school site staff, you know, come and go through our city and our schools. and that's the only comment i wanted to make. hopefully we can continue this. >> thank you. thank you very much. and, colleagues, i apologize to the members of the public, we are about to lose a quorum. but let me just simply say that the question of whether or not police officers should be on schools -- at schools, that's ultimately something that the board of education decides. you know, we as a body here do not have the authority to say one way or the other.

where we come in is that if the position of the board of education is continue to have that, then there is a memorandum of understanding that outlines that relationship. then i think it is appropriate for this committee to discuss that, which is what we're doing. but ultimately the decision of whether to allow or not allow, that's ultimately up to the san francisco unified school district through its board of education and, you know, in consultation with the superintendent of schools. so, that's not our decision to make here today. but if it's okay with my colleagues, if we can have a motion to continue to the call of the chair, and we will make sure this item is at the top of the agenda for the next meeting of the joint committee to make sure that we have, you know, a resolution on this issue. so, can we have a motion? motion by commissioner maufus, seconded by commissioner fewer. if we can take that without objection. and again, we want to thank all the members of the public who

have waited patiently, to my colleagues as well. and the staff and the school district and the city agencies. madam secretary, is there any other business before the committee? >> no, supervisor. >> meeting adjourned. thank you. [adjourned]

>> the question when i started 11 years ago when i started doing resolution work is can anything be presented on a really low resolution device where it is potentially a digital image? can anything be presented that way? or will it feel cold and electronic? >> the imagery will change. there will be four different sets. it is a two dimensional image. it is stretched out into three dimensions.

the device is part of the experience. you cannot experience the image without the device as being part of what you are seeing. whereas with the tv you end up ignoring it. i make gallery work more self and budget and public art work where i have to drop this of indulgence and think about how people will respond. and one of the things i was interested in the work and also a little fearful of, it is not until you get to the first and second floor were the work is recognizable as an image. it is an exploration and perception is what it is. what are you seeing when you look at this image? one of the things that happens

with really low resolution images like this one is you never get the details, so it is always kind of pulling you in kind of thing. you can keep watching it. i think this work is kind of experience in a more analytical way. in other words, we look at an image and there is an alice going on. -- and there is an analysis going on. i'm derek, i'm hyungry, and

ready to eat. these vendors offer a variety of the streets near you. these mobile restaurants are serving up original, creative and unusual combinations. you can grab something simple like a grilled cheese sandwich or something unique like curry. we areher here in the average eight -- upper haight. you will be competing in the quick buy food challenge. an appetizer and if you are the winner you will get the title of

the quitck bite "chompion." i am here with matt cohen, from off the grid. >> we assembled trucks and put them into a really unique heurban settings. >> what inspired you to start off the grid? >> i was helping people lodge mobile food trucks. the work asking for what can we get -- part together? we started our first location and then from there we expanded locations. >> why do think food trucks have grown? >> i have gotten popular because the high cost of starting a brick and mortar or strong, the rise of social media, trucks can be easily located, and food trucks to

offer a unique outdoor experience that is not easily replaced by any of their setting any worlwhere else in san franc. san francisco eaters are interested in cuisine. there adventuress. the fact theyuse grea use great ingredients and make gourmet food makes unpopular. >> i have been dying to have these. >> i have had that roach coach experience. it is great they're making food they can trust. >> have you decided?

>> we are in the thick of the competition? >> my game was thrown off because they pulled out of my first appetizer choice. >> how we going to crush clear? >> it will be easy. probably everyone has tried, something bacon tell us delicious. >> -- people tell us is delicious. >> hopefully you think the same thing. >> hopefully i am going to win. we're in the financial district. there is a food truck right there. every day changes. it is easy and fun to go down. these are going to be really good. >> how are you going to dominate? >> i think he does not know what he is doing.

>> i was thinking of doing [unintelligible] we are underrepresented. >> i was singing of starting an irish pub. that was my idea. >> one our biggest is the corned beef and cabbage. we are asking people what they're thinking in getting some feedback. >> for a lot of people i am sure this combination looks very wrong. it might not sound right on paper but when you taste it to or have it in your mouth, it is a variety. this is one of the best ways in creating community. people gather around and talk about it and get to know different cultures. that brings people together and i hope more off the grid style and people can mingle and interact and remove all our

differences and work on our similarities. this creates opportunity. >> the time has come and i am very hungry. what have you got? >> i got this from on the go, a sandwich, and a caramel cupcake. i went with home cooking. what de think? >> i will have another bite. >> sounds good. >> that was fantastic. let's start with you. >> i had the fried mac and cheese, and twinkies. i wanted to get something kind

of classic with a twist on it. >> it was crispy. >> i will admit. >> want to try fieried mac and cheese? >> was that the best twinkie? >> would you say you had the winning male? >> definitely. >> no. >> you are the "chompion." clair has won. you are the first "chompion." >> they know it iwas me because i got a free meal.
