00:02:27 AND RENTAL CAR CENTER. THE PROGRAM HAS PROCESSED
00:02:30 NEARLY 200,000 BAGS AND HAS PROVIDED ADDED CONVENIENCE TO

00:04:38 YES. ITEM NUMBER TWO IS A HEARING ON
00:04:41 FLEET WEEK 2026 WHICH WILL BE HELD OCTOBER 4TH THROUGH 12TH.
00:04:44 >> FOCUSING ON RECENT MAJOR EVENTS IN THE CITY, EXAMINING
00:04:47 WHAT WORKED IN THOSE EVENTS, IDENTIFYING AREAS FOR
00:04:51 IMPROVEMENT IN INTER-DEPARTMENTAL
00:04:52 COORDINATION AND URGING CONCRETE TRANSPARENT PLANS FOR
00:04:55 HOW THE CITY PLANS TO EFFECTIVELY FACILITATE LARGE
00:04:59 EVENTS IN THE FUTURE. >> THANK YOU, MADAM CLERK.
00:05:02 COLLEAGUES AND ATTENDEES. I APPRECIATE ALL BEING HERE
00:05:06 TODAY. >> FLEET WEEK IS COMING UP
00:05:10 COMES UP EVERY YEAR AND IT HAS BEEN RUN EXTREMELY WELL.
00:05:17 >> TEAM HAS LED NUMEROUS PREPARATION EXERCISES, HAS A
00:05:20 PLAN IN PLACE AND BY AND LARGE I THINK FLEET WEEK IS
00:05:24 FANTASTIC. >> NOT EVERYBODY NECESSARILY
00:05:27 AGREES WITH IT BUT I THINK MOST PEOPLE DO.
00:05:29 BRINGS ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF ENERGY, EXCITEMENT, ECONOMIC
00:05:32 ACTIVITY TO SAN FRANCISCO. IT'S FUN FOR KIDS.
00:05:37 IT'S FUN FOR ADULTS. IT IS FRANKLY FANTASTIC.
00:05:40 >> I THINK IT'S ONE OF THE STAPLES OF SAN FRANCISCO AND I
00:05:44 THINK IT'S NECESSARY FOR A STABLE OF SAN FRANCISCO SHOULD
00:05:47 BE THAT LARGE SCALE EVENTS ARE SAFE AND GO OFF WELL.
00:05:54 >> TRADITIONAL FLEET WEEK PLANNING HAS BEEN EXCELLENT.
00:05:57 I FEEL COMFORTABLE SAYING THAT. BUT I DO THINK IT IS THE ROLE
00:06:01 OF THIS BODY TO ENSURE THAT EXCELLENT STAYS EXCELLENT
00:06:04 AND THAT WE CONTINUE TO LEARN AS WE MOVE FORWARD AND AS WE'VE
00:06:13 SEEN OVER THE PAST YEAR AS WE TRY NEW THINGS HERE IN THE CITY
00:06:17 AS WE HOST NEW EVENTS, THE RESPONSE TO EVENTS SAN
00:06:23 FRANCISCO FROM ATTENDEES HAS BEEN SOMEWHAT DIFFERENT AND BY
00:06:25 THAT I MEAN POPULAR AND THIS YEAR FLEET WEEK WILL NOT BE THE
00:06:31 SAME AS LAST YEAR. IT WON'T BE THE SAME BECAUSE
00:06:32 OUR REPUTATION AS A CITY FOR OUTSIDE TOURISTS IS A LOT
00:06:39 BETTER. WE SAW THAT WITH THE RED BULL
00:06:40 SHOW RUN LAST YEAR. WE SAW THAT WITH JULY 4TH THIS
00:06:44 YEAR AND IT'S ALSO GOING TO BE DIFFERENT BECAUSE THE BLUE
00:06:47 ANGELS WILL BE HERE AND THEY WEREN'T HERE LAST YEAR.
00:06:54 >> SO I THINK IT'S INCREDIBLY IMPORTANT FOR US TO CONTINUE TO
00:06:56 EXAMINE WHAT IS WORKING AND WHAT IS NOT.
00:06:59 OUTSIDE LANDS RECENTLY WENT OFF FAIRLY WELL.
00:07:05 OBVIOUS COMPLAINTS FROM A VARIETY OF PEOPLE AND THAT'S
00:07:07 FINE BUT THAT WENT PRETTY WELL. IT SEEMS LIKE LESSONS WERE
00:07:10 LEARNED AND SO MY GOAL HERE TODAY AND I WANT TO THANK ALL
00:07:13 THE VARIOUS DEPARTMENTS WHO ARE HERE I WILL THANK YOU
00:07:17 INDIVIDUALLY AS YOU COME UP. THE GOAL HERE TODAY IS TO GO
00:07:21 OVER SOME BASICS, ASK KEY QUESTIONS THE RESIDENTS HAVE
00:07:25 ASKED AND HIGHLIGHT IF THERE ARE ANY QUESTIONS WE NEED TO
00:07:28 FOLLOW UP ON. >> I SEE IT AS MY ROLE AS THE
00:07:33 DISTRICT SUPERVISOR WHO YOU KNOW WHO IN WHOSE DISTRICT MUCH
00:07:36 OF FLEET WEEK THOUGH NOT ALL OF FLEET WEEK HAPPENS TO TO MAKE
00:07:40 SURE THAT MY RESIDENTS CONCERNS ARE ADDRESSED BECAUSE I KNOW
00:07:42 THAT IT'S IMPOSSIBLE FOR YOU ALL TO HAVE EYES AND EARS
00:07:46 EVERYWHERE. >> SO HOPEFULLY THIS CAN BE A
00:07:47 COLLABORATIVE SESSION. >> IF THERE ARE QUESTIONS TO
00:07:50 FOLLOW UP ON WE'LL DO THAT. BUT I'M VERY GRATEFUL FOR THE
00:07:54 AMOUNT OF PREPARATION YOU ALL HAVE PUT INTO THIS A HEARING
00:07:57 FOR SURE BUT MORE SO FLEET WEEK IN GENERAL.
00:08:01 >> YOU ALL WORK INCREDIBLY HARD.
00:08:02 I'M EXCITED FOR FLEET WEEK COMING UP AND I'M EAGER TO
00:08:08 FIGURE OUT IF THERE ARE ANY THINGS WE NEEDED TO DIG BACK
00:08:10 IN ON DOUBLE CHECK ON TO MAKE SURE THAT THAT RESIDENTS
00:08:13 AND VISITORS HAVE A FANTASTIC TIME SO OVER THE COURSE OF THIS
00:08:20 HEARING WE'RE GOING TO HEAR PRESENTATIONS FROM D.M. FIRE
00:08:23 DEPARTMENT, POLICE DEPARTMENT, MTA AND REC PARK.
00:08:25 >> I KNOW THAT ONE OF THE ORGANIZERS OF FLEET WEEK IS
00:08:28 HERE AND WILL LIKELY GIVE SOME PUBLIC COMMENT.
00:08:31 THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU. BUT WHY DON'T WE START WITH THE
00:08:35 DAM DIRECTOR MARY ELLEN CARROLL.
00:08:36 THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
00:08:42 THANK YOU. GOOD MORNING.
00:08:46 >> GOOD MORNING. CHAIR CHERYL VICE CHAIR FIELDER
00:08:47 AND SUPERVISOR FOR WONG. I'M VERY HAPPY TO BE HERE TODAY
00:08:51 AND THANK YOU FOR CALLING THIS HEARING.
00:08:54 DAM IS THE CITY'S COORDINATING LAYER FOR LARGE EVENTS.
00:08:58 WE CONVENE OUR PARTNERS, WE MAINTAIN A COMMON OPERATING
00:09:01 PICTURE AND ACTIVATE THE EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER
00:09:05 WHEN CONDITIONS WARRANT THE EMERGENCY OPERATION CENTER OR
00:09:10 EOC IS A MULTI-AGENCY HUB THAT USES STANDARDIZED STATE
00:09:14 AND FEDERAL COORDINATION STRUCTURES TO STREAMLINE
00:09:17 OPERATIONS. IT BRINGS DEPARTMENTS
00:09:21 AND PARTNERS TOGETHER TO MAINTAIN A COMMON OPERATING
00:09:22 PICTURE, COORDINATE RESOURCES AND MAKE POLICY DECISIONS WITH
00:09:26 FIELD COMMAND STRUCTURE AND ESCALATE ISSUES THAT CROSS
00:09:30 BETWEEN AGENCIES OR JURISDICTION.
00:09:33 >> SO ON JULY 4TH WE HAD A NEW REALLY BROUGHT A NEW
00:09:37 AND UNUSUALLY CONCENTRATED WATERFRONT EVENT THAT CROSS
00:09:41 CITY STATE, REGIONAL AND FEDERAL JURISDICTIONS THE
00:09:45 POST SHOW TRANSPORTATION AND EGRESS IMPACTS WERE VERY
00:09:50 CHALLENGING AS WE KNOW AND AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE FAILURES
00:09:54 COMPOUNDED THE CONGESTION WHILE THE AFTER ACTION REVIEW REMAINS
00:10:00 UNDERWAY WE HAVE FOUR PRELIMINARY IMPROVEMENT AREAS.
00:10:05 ONE IS TO STRENGTHEN THE MITIGATION AND INFORMATION
00:10:07 SHARING AND YOU'RE GOING TO HEAR A LOT MORE ABOUT THAT.
00:10:11 >> NUMBER TWO IS TO STRENGTHEN OUR ADVANCED PLANNING
00:10:14 AND RESOURCE ALIGNMENT. THREE IS TO IMPROVE REAL TIME
00:10:17 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS AND CONNECTIVITY AND FORCE TO
00:10:21 PLAN TRANSPORTATION AS ONE SYSTEM AROUND CROWD SIZE, LOCAL
00:10:25 ACCESS PEAK DEPARTURE DEMAND ACCESSIBILITY AND THE REGIONAL
00:10:28 NETWORK. >> THESE ARE PRELIMINARY
00:10:32 LESSONS THAT ARE FRAMING OUR OUR WORK AS WE GO INTO FLEET
00:10:36 WEEK. >> SO FLEET WEEK SCHEDULE JUST
00:10:43 REAL QUICK STARTS OCTOBER 4TH. THESE ARE OUR OPENING DAYS WHEN
00:10:47 OUR SHIPS ARRIVE AND THERE ARE SOME PARTNER EVENTS THAT BEGIN
00:10:51 THE SIX TO THE SEVENTH IS WHEN WE HAVE OUR DISK EXERCISE
00:10:54 CAPSTONE EXERCISE. I'M GOING TO TALK IN DETAIL
00:10:58 ABOUT THAT ON THE SEVENTH AND THEN THE SHIP TOURS START
00:11:02 ON THAT'S ON THE SIX SHIP TOUR START ON THE 7TH OCTOBER NINTH
00:11:07 WE HAVE THE PARADE OF SHIPS AND THE AIRSHOW WILL BEGIN
00:11:11 AND THEN ON OCTOBER 10 TO 11 IS REALLY WHEN WE HAVE THE MOST
00:11:18 THE MOST ACTIVITIES AND ANTICS AND PATED HIGHEST CROWDS.
00:11:23 SO WE WILL HAVE THE FLEET FEST, WE'LL HAVE SHIP TOURS.
00:11:26 >> THE AIRSHOW WILL HAPPEN. WE HAVE CANINE HEROES WHICH IS
00:11:30 A VERY POPULAR DOG SKILL EVENT AND THE ITALIAN HERITAGE PARADE
00:11:38 ALSO IS OCTOBER 11TH. >> SO THINGS WRAP UP ON THE
00:11:45 12TH AND THERE'S FINAL BAND PERFORMANCES ON THAT DAY.
00:11:50 GETTING INTO A LITTLE MORE DETAIL ABOUT OUR FLEET FIRST
00:11:58 AND AIRSHOW SORRY JUST CATCHING UP HERE.
00:12:02 >> OKAY THIS IS THE FLEET WEEK AND WE DO HAVE REPRESENTATIVES
00:12:05 FROM FLEET WEEK HERE IN THE ROOM ASSOCIATION ASSOCIATION
00:12:08 PRODUCED WATERFRONT FESTIVAL AND THAT WILL BE SATURDAY
00:12:13 AND SUNDAY AS I SAID THE 10TH TO 11TH AT FISHERMAN'S WHARF
00:12:18 AND PIER 27 THERE WILL BE A SERVICE AND READINESS EXPO THAT
00:12:22 TALKS ABOUT THE PREPAREDNESS RESPONSE AND OTHER KIND OF
00:12:28 STATIC DEMONSTRATIONS THAT HISTORICALLY HAD HAPPENED
00:12:32 THROUGH THE HUMANITARIAN ASSISTANCE VILLAGE THAT WAS ON
00:12:36 THE MARINA GREEN THAT IS NO LONGER THERE.
00:12:37 >> IT IS DONE AT PIER 27 AND THEN WE WILL HAVE THE THE
00:12:43 ON THE WATERFRONT IN MARINA GREEN.
00:12:47 WE WILL HAVE PUBLIC VIEWING AREAS AND WE WILL HAVE A
00:12:51 MEDICAL PLAN AIRSPACE AND GROUND COORDINATION
00:12:58 AND WEATHER OF COURSE WILL PLAY A ROLE IN ALL OF THIS.
00:12:59 WE'RE HOPING FOR GREAT WEATHER .
00:13:05 >> SO I WANTED TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT DIEM'S ROLE.
00:13:08 THIS IS THE PART OF FLEET WEEK THAT FOR ME IS THE MOST
00:13:12 EXCITING AND IMPORTANT. >> SO FOR OVER TEN YEARS WE
00:13:16 HAVE BEEN DOING EXERCISES WITH OUR FEDERAL PARTNERS THROUGH
00:13:20 THE DEFENSE SUPPORT OF CIVIL AUTHORITIES OR DISCUSS AND SO
00:13:27 FLEET WEEK ALLOWS US TO DO THIS WORKING EXERCISE AND THIS IS A
00:13:34 FRAMEWORK BY WHICH DOD WILL PROVIDE RESOURCES
00:13:41 AND COORDINATION AND SUPPORT DURING A MAJOR EMERGENCY.
00:13:45 >> THESE EXERCISES OVER THE YEARS HAVE BEEN SUPER CRITICAL
00:13:49 AND HAVE REALLY HELPED SAN FRANCISCO TO BE MORE PREPARED
00:13:51 FOR MAJOR DISASTER. >> SEPARATE FROM THAT WE WILL
00:13:55 BE WORKING THROUGHOUT THE THE WEEK.
00:14:01 WE WILL BE MONITORING THE EVENTS AT 9 A.M. ONE AND OUR 24
00:14:05 SEVEN ON CALL TEAM. WE WILL BE MAINTAINING COMMON
00:14:08 OPERATING PICTURE COORDINATING OUR ANY ESCALATION THAT NEEDS
00:14:13 TO HAPPEN AND OUR EXTERNAL AFFAIRS WILL BE PROVIDING READY
00:14:17 ASF PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION THROUGHOUT THE EVENTS.
00:14:23 >> JUST TO SPEAK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT HOW THIS EVENT IS UNIQUE
00:14:27 FROM OTHER EVENTS, WE DO HAVE A SPONSOR WHICH IS THE SAN
00:14:30 FRANCISCO FLEET WEEK ASSOCIATION.
00:14:34 THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LOUIS LA LUAN IS HERE AND HE'S GOING TO
00:14:37 I THINK SPEAK DURING PUBLIC COMMENT.
00:14:39 >> WE HAVE COORDINATION WITH OUR MILITARY PARTNERS OBVIOUSLY
00:14:45 WITH SHIP TOURS, THE AIR TOURS AND THEN THE DISK EXERCISE AS I
00:14:49 TALKED ABOUT AND CITY DEPARTMENTS YOU'RE GOING TO
00:14:53 HEAR MORE ABOUT THEIR ROLES AS THEY COME UP TO TALK TO YOU
00:14:54 AND THEN UNIQUELY THERE IS A PUBLIC AND COMMUNITY COMPONENT
00:14:58 THAT THE FLEET WEEK ASSOCIATION PUTS ON WITH EVENTS
00:15:01 PREPAREDNESS INFORMATION. THEY HAVE TRIED TO SPREAD FLEET
00:15:05 WEEK THROUGHOUT THE NEIGHBORHOODS WITH SMALL EVENTS
00:15:09 SO IT CAN BE A FULL CITY PARTICIPATION.
00:15:16 >> SO ADAPTABILITY. YOU KNOW YOU TALKED ABOUT
00:15:20 THINGS BEING DIFFERENT AND I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU SUPERVISOR
00:15:25 CHERYL I THINK THAT WE ARE LOOKING AT EVERY EVENT THAT
00:15:29 COMES TO THE CITY WITH A MORE CONSERVATIVE EYE TO
00:15:32 PARTICIPATION AND THAT IS AS YOU NOTE, A GREAT THING FOR OUR
00:15:40 CITY BUT IT'S SOMETHING THAT WE HAVE TO BE PREPARED FOR.
00:15:43 >> AND SO THIS JUST TALKS A LITTLE BIT ABOUT OUR PROCESS.
00:15:47 WE ARE VERY ADAPTABLE. >> TYPICALLY WE HAVE NOT
00:15:52 ACTIVATED OUR EOC FOR FLEET WEEK BUT IT IS SOMETHING THAT
00:15:56 WE WILL AS WE GET CLOSER DECIDE AND OF COURSE WE'RE ALWAYS
00:16:00 READY TO GO INTO FULL ACTIVATION FOR ANY EVENT SHOULD
00:16:04 THE UNEXPECTED HAPPEN. >> PART OF WHAT WE DO IS THE
00:16:08 PLANNING WHICH IS OPERATION PLANNING.
00:16:11 GET READY, UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING.
00:16:12 WE'RE MONITORING IN REAL TIME AND THEN WE HAVE TO ADJUST
00:16:16 DEPENDING ON WHAT HAPPENS. WE DID A LOT OF THAT ON THE 4TH
00:16:20 OF JULY AND PROBABLY MOST IMPORTANTLY LEARNING EACH
00:16:23 EXPERT EVENT THAT WE HAVE WHAT WENT WELL AND WHAT DIDN'T
00:16:27 AND HOW TO ADJUST MEDICAL PLANNING IS OBVIOUSLY VERY
00:16:34 CRUCIAL FOR EVENTS WE UNDER OUR EMS AGENCY POLICIES 7 TO 10 FOR
00:16:42 PEOPLE THAT WANT TO KNOW AND THE EMS AGENCY SITS WITHIN
00:16:46 THE DEPARTMENT OF EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT ANY GATHERING WITH
00:16:50 AN EXPECTED PEAK OF 1000 PEOPLE OR MORE DOES REQUIRE A MEDICAL
00:16:54 PLAN. SO THIS EVENT WILL REQUIRE A
00:16:56 MEDICAL PLAN. THERE ARE SOME EVENTS THAT
00:17:00 REQUIRE ONE REGARDLESS SO JUST TO TALK ABOUT PREVIOUS PLANNING
00:17:05 BASIS. SO LAST YEAR WE PEAKED AT ABOUT
00:17:10 2000. IT WAS A GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN.
00:17:12 WE HAD A AIRSHOW BUT WE DIDN'T HAVE BLUE ANGELS SO IT WAS NOT
00:17:15 AS LARGE IN 2020 FOR A PEAK WAS 7500 PEOPLE AND IN AND SO WE'RE
00:17:26 WAITING FOR THE ESTIMATION FOR THIS PLAN.
00:17:30 THEY HAVE 30 DAYS THAT THE PRODUCERS HAVE 30 DAYS
00:17:36 IN ADVANCE TO PUT IN A MEDICAL PLAN SO THEY HAVE PLENTY OF
00:17:40 TIME TO DO THAT. YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT BASED ON
00:17:44 THIS EVEN IF THE NUMBER DOUBLED THIS YEAR, I THINK IT'S WELL
00:17:48 WITHIN EVERYONE'S ABILITY TO MANAGE THAT NUMBER OF PEOPLE
00:17:52 ALONG THE WATER SIDE. BUT WE WILL GET SOME MORE
00:17:56 ESTIMATES AS WE GET CLOSER. >> WE ALSO HAVE THE ABILITY TO
00:18:03 CALL IN MUTUAL AID AND OBVIOUSLY WE'LL HAVE
00:18:07 CONTINGENCY PLANS. I THINK THE FIRE DEPARTMENT IS
00:18:10 HERE AND THEY'LL TALK MORE ABOUT THAT AND THEN FINALLY MY
00:18:14 FINAL SLIDE IS JUST TO TALK A LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT
00:18:18 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES. I ACTUALLY WAS ON A VIRTUAL
00:18:21 PANEL THIS MORNING AND WITH WASHINGTON DC ON AUTONOMOUS
00:18:25 VEHICLES SO I GET TO TALK ABOUT IT A LOT.
00:18:29 >> SO THE DMV JUST FOR THE GENERAL PUBLIC TO KNOW THE DMV
00:18:33 PERMITS TESTING AND DEPLOYMENT OF THESE VEHICLES AND THE CPSC
00:18:37 AUTHORIZES PASSENGER SURVEY S SO WHAT WE HAVE TO DO IS FOR
00:18:45 PLANNED EVENTS S.F. MTA MAY REQUEST VOLUNTARY OPERATING
00:18:49 CHANGES OF THESE AVE COMPANIES FOR INSTANCE FOR GEOFENCING SO
00:18:56 THAT THEY STAY OUT OF A CERTAIN AREA FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
00:18:58 TIME AND THEN DURING AN ACTIVATION WE HAVE SINCE LAST
00:19:04 YEAR HAD A REPRESENTATIVE FROM WAYMO AND ALSO ZOOX EITHER
00:19:08 IN MOSTLY IN OUR EOC OR AVAILABLE VIRTUALLY WHICH HELPS
00:19:15 US TO SORT OF UNDERSTAND WHAT'S HAPPENING AND TALK DIRECTLY TO
00:19:19 THE COMPANIES WHILE THEY'RE THERE AND THE I DID JUST WANT
00:19:23 TO ADD BEFORE I CLOSE HERE WE DO LEARN FROM OUR EVENTS AND AS
00:19:31 YOU NOTED WITH OUTSIDE LANDS THE TRANSPORTATION WENT VERY
00:19:35 WELL. ALL OF US MTA, S.F. MTA LED THE
00:19:38 COORDINATION WITH WAYMO AND ZOOX AND WE ALL MET AS IT
00:19:42 GOT CLOSER TO REALLY THINK ABOUT TIMING WHERE WE WANTED
00:19:47 THEM TO COME AND NOT COME MAKING SURE THE HOSPITAL THAT
00:19:51 WAS IN THAT ZONE HAD ACCESS. SO AVI PLANNING HAS BECOME AN
00:19:57 INTEGRAL PART OF OUR PLANNING FOR EVERY EVENT WE'RE GOING TO
00:20:01 HAVE THAT IT IS NOW ON OUR CHECKLIST JUST LIKE MEDICAL
00:20:03 PLANS AND OTHER THINGS. I KNOW MTA IS GOING TO TALK A
00:20:06 LITTLE BIT MORE ABOUT THEIR PROCESS BUT I HAVE BEEN PLEASED
00:20:09 WITH THE PROGRESS THAT WE'VE MADE AND THAT WE'RE SEEING
00:20:12 AND WE ALSO HAD ANOTHER FOR INSTANCE POWER OUTAGE COUPLE
00:20:17 BETWEEN NOW AND SEPTEMBER AND IT WENT A LOT BETTER WITH
00:20:20 THE RESPONSE FROM THE TEAMS AND WE WERE ABLE TO AVOID SOME
00:20:25 ISSUES DURING THOSE THAT TIME. SO THAT IS THE END OF MY
00:20:28 PRESENTATION. >> ARE WE GOING TO DO YOU WANT
00:20:32 TO ASK QUESTIONS? ARE WE GOING TO GO TO
00:20:33 EVERYONE'S IF YOU'RE COMFORTABLE I'LL JUST ASK YOU A
00:20:36 QUICK QUESTIONS COLLEAGUES YOU OKAY WITH THAT?
00:20:39 >> SO FIRST OF ALL THANK YOU. YOU TALKED ABOUT THE EXPECTED
00:20:46 PEAK PEAK LAST YEAR WAS 2000. >> I APPRECIATE YOU CALLING OUT
00:20:50 2020 FOR A SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER HIGH.
00:20:53 YOU MENTIONED WE'RE THE CITY IS CAPABLE OF HANDLING A DOUBLING
00:21:01 OF THAT OF A 15,000 PERSON PEAK .
00:21:05 DOES THAT MEAN IN THEORY THE CITY IS IS CAPABLE IF PREPARED
00:21:09 OR IF THERE'S A REAL TIME SURGE TO 15,000 THE CITY CAN RESPOND
00:21:13 QUICKLY? I THINK WHAT WE'RE GOING TO DO
00:21:16 AND WE'RE STILL IN THE PROCESS OF PLANNING FOR THIS IS LOOK AT
00:21:17 WHAT WE EXPECT BASED ON THE PREVIOUS BASED ON WHAT WE WOULD
00:21:23 PUT OVER THAT AS WE KNOW BASED ON PARTICIPATION IN EVENTS
00:21:28 IN SAN FRANCISCO AND THEN WE WILL ASSIGN WITH OUR PUBLIC
00:21:32 SAFETY PARTNERS THE APPROPRIATE RESOURCES FOR THAT.
00:21:36 >> NOW YOU KNOW, I THINK THAT IS A VERY HIGH ESTIMATE.
00:21:43 IF WE GOT THERE OR ABOVE WE WOULD OBVIOUSLY YOU KNOW, HAVE
00:21:46 TO SURGE. BUT I WOULD DEFER REALLY I'M
00:21:48 GOING TO LET MY PARTNERS TALK MORE ABOUT HOW THEY WOULD THINK
00:21:54 ABOUT THAT. BUT IT IS A COLLECTIVE PROCESS
00:21:55 WHERE WE ALL COME TOGETHER TO THINK ABOUT CONTINGENCIES.
00:21:58 WHAT IS THE APPROPRIATE LEVEL OF RESOURCES BOTH BASED ON
00:22:04 MOSTLY BASED ON PAST EVENTS BUT ALSO LOOKING AT WHAT'S GOING ON
00:22:08 THIS YEAR AT THIS TIME IN 2020. >> SO CAN YOU HIGHLIGHT SOME OF
00:22:13 THE THE DIFFERENCES FROM PAST EVENTS THAT LIKE WHAT IS GOING
00:22:16 ON THIS YEAR THAT YOU'RE FACTORING IN THAT'S DIFFERENT
00:22:19 FROM 25? >> YEAH, I MEAN RIGHT NOW WE
00:22:20 DON'T SEE A WHOLE LOT MORE GOING ON THAT WEEKEND SO SO ONE
00:22:25 OF THE FIRST THINGS WE DO IS WE LOOK AT OVERLAYING EVENTS SO WE
00:22:29 HAVE THE ITALIAN HERITAGE EVENT WHICH I BELIEVE OFTEN OR ALWAYS
00:22:33 OVERLAPS WITH WITH FLEET WEEK DOESN'T REALLY HAS NOT BEEN AN
00:22:40 ISSUE IN THE PAST. I THINK THE THE BIGGEST ISSUE
00:22:44 IS GOING TO BE JUST POPULARITY OF COMING TO SAN FRANCISCO.
00:22:49 WEATHER WILL PLAY A ROLE. I FEEL LIKE THIS THIS YEAR IS A
00:22:53 LITTLE BIT DIFFERENT IN THAT THE BLUE ANGELS ARE CONFIRMED
00:22:57 AND THAT IS PROBABLY THE MOST POPULAR PART OF FLEET WEEK FOR
00:23:01 SOME PEOPLE OR FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE AND THEN BUT WE WILL NOT
00:23:07 HAVE THE SAME NUMBER OF SHIPS OBVIOUSLY DUE TO ACTIVITIES
00:23:11 AND DOD IN THE MIDDLE EAST AND THAT KIND OF THING.
00:23:15 SO WE WON'T HAVE OUR HUMANITARIAN VILLAGE.
00:23:16 SO I THINK THAT THE FACT THAT THESE EVENTS ARE MORE SPREAD
00:23:22 OUT AROUND ACROSS THE WATERFRONT BENEFITS US FROM A
00:23:26 PUBLIC SAFETY PERSPECTIVE IN TRANSPORTATION BECAUSE THE
00:23:30 MORE YOU HAVE THE NUMBERS SPREAD OUT THE EASIER IT IS
00:23:35 LESS CONGESTION AND THAT SORT OF THING.
00:23:38 SO THOSE ARE THE THOSE ARE THE FACTORS THAT WE'VE TALKED
00:23:39 ABOUT. SO FAR FOR THIS YEAR.
00:23:41 >> HAVE YOU HAD CONVERSATIONS WITH THE EVENT ORGANIZERS ABOUT
00:23:46 EXPECTED CROWD SIZES YET? >> YES, WE'VE HAD CONVERSATIONS
00:23:50 BUT WE HAVE NOT WE HAVE NOT COME TO THE FINAL NUMBERS THERE
00:23:56 ARE STILL SOME DETAILS ABOUT THE ASSETS THAT MAY BE COMING
00:24:01 IN, THE ACTIVITIES THAT ARE NOT FINAL.
00:24:02 SO WE DON'T HAVE A CLEAR IDEA. >> BUT I DO THINK THAT
00:24:06 REGARDLESS IT IS GOING TO BE A MORE CONDENSED FLEET WEEK AS
00:24:09 FAR AS THE BIG ACTIVITIES THAT WE HAVE.
00:24:13 >> SO WE HAVE TO BALANCE THAT WITH WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY
00:24:17 CONDENSED IS THAT FEW WERE OR IS THAT IN SHORTER TIME PERIODS
00:24:21 SO FEWER YOU KNOW IN THE PAST WE WOULD HAVE SIX SEVEN
00:24:25 SOMETIMES EIGHT SHIPS COME IN FROM DIFFERENT COUNTRIES
00:24:28 FROM YOU KNOW, MAJOR SHIPS, DUTY RELATED SHIPS AND WE KNOW
00:24:34 WE'RE NOT GOING TO HAVE THAT NUMBER.
00:24:35 >> WE'RE GOING TO HAVE AS I DESCRIBED THE THE DEMONSTRATE
00:24:42 OCEAN THAT USED TO BE THE ENTIRE MARINA GREEN FOR THE
00:24:44 HUMANITARIAN VILLAGE. >> WE'RE NOT DOING THAT THIS
00:24:48 YEAR. WE'LL HAVE COMPONENTS OF THAT
00:24:50 BUT THAT WILL BE MORE AT PIER 27 AND THEN THE OTHER THINGS
00:24:54 THAT WILL HAPPEN ARE NOT THINGS THAT WE ARE VERY CONCERNED
00:24:59 ABOUT SMALL ACTIVITIES, ACTIVATIONS THROUGHOUT THE
00:25:02 NEIGHBORHOODS. AND SO FOR ME THIS LOOKS LIKE
00:25:06 YOU KNOW, I'M NOT COMING TO YOU TO SAY LIKE WELL THIS IS GOING
00:25:10 TO BE THE BIGGEST FLEET WEEK. I DON'T THINK IT WILL BE I
00:25:14 THINK IT WILL BE AN EXCITING FLEET WEEK AS IT NORMALLY IS
00:25:18 BUT I THINK IT'S GOING TO BE SMALLER THAN WHAT WE SEE THE
00:25:21 BIGGEST FLEET WEEK I, I AM NOT I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT
00:25:26 BUT WE CAN FIND OUT AND WHEN YOU SAY BIGGEST IT SOUNDS LIKE
00:25:30 YOU MEAN BY THE NUMBER OF ACTIVITIES EVENTS AND OTHER
00:25:33 STUFF DO WE THINK ABOUT BIGGEST IN TERMS OF CROWD SIZES AND THE
00:25:37 REASON THAT I'M PUSHING ON CROWD SIZE IS I THINK WE'VE
00:25:41 BEEN OFF BY HALF IN RECENT ESTIMATES OF POTENTIAL CROWD
00:25:45 SIZES. YEAH OVER THE PAST YEAR AND AND
00:25:48 BY I MEAN LIKE THE LARGER THE CITY OF SOME FORM RIGHT AND I
00:25:53 KNOW IT'S NOT YOUR JOB TO ESTIMATE CROWD SIZES AND YOU
00:25:56 YOU KNOW BUT I'M DEFINITELY CONCERNED THAT WE'RE NOT KIND
00:26:04 OF TAKING INITIAL ESTIMATES BASED ON PAST YEARS AND ADDING
00:26:08 A MULTIPLIER EFFECT. >> YEAH I, I AGREE WITH YOU
00:26:12 AND I THAT IS SOMETHING THAT WE ARE COLLECTIVELY DOING
00:26:15 AND LOOKING AT FOR THESE EVENTS.
00:26:16 >> AND WHEN DO YOU THINK THE FINAL ESTIMATE WILL COME DOWN?
00:26:20 AND THE REASON I ASK IS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE FOR RECENT EVENTS
00:26:23 DEEMED WAS REALLY PUT IN A TIME CRUNCH VERY DIFFICULT TIME
00:26:31 CRUNCH TO REACT TO RECENT EVENTS AND GET THE PLANNING
00:26:35 DONE AND AND I'M A BIT CONCERNED THAT YOU WON'T HAVE
00:26:36 ENOUGH TIME TO TO PLAN SO I'M CURIOUS WHEN YOU EXPECT CROWD
00:26:42 SIZE ESTIMATES TO BE FINALIZED. >> WELL WE WILL DEFINITELY HAVE
00:26:47 THEM WITHIN 30 DAYS BEFORE I WOULD SAY THAT I AM.
00:26:51 >> BUT SO LIKE IN THE NEXT FOUR DAYS IN THE NEXT IN THE NEXT
00:26:57 ONE DAY OCTOBER 4TH IS WHEN THINGS START RIGHT?
00:27:01 >> YEAH. IT'S THE PEAK EVENTS THAT WE
00:27:04 IT'S ONLY SO FEW DAYS. >> YEAH BUT YOU KNOW I THINK
00:27:08 THAT WHILE I WOULD WE I THINK WE'RE LOOKING AT EVERYTHING
00:27:15 MORE CONSERVATIVELY BUT THERE ARE EVENTS THAT WE HAVE DONE
00:27:20 OVER THE YEARS I WOULD USE OUTSIDE LANCE AS AN EXAMPLE WE
00:27:23 ALL WENT INTO OUTSIDE LANDS WITH THE SAME THOUGHT THAT YOU
00:27:27 ARE PRESENTING HERE TODAY WAS A SOLD OUT EVENT FIRST TIME IN A
00:27:32 LITTLE BIT AND AND I YOU KNOW JUST KNOWING THAT PEOPLE ARE
00:27:39 SHOWING UP AND SO BUT THAT EVENT HAS A KNOWN PRODUCER IT
00:27:43 IS A VERY EXTREMELY WELL-RUN EVENT MTA AND AS WE WERE ALL
00:27:50 WORKING TOGETHER TO DEAL WITH ESPECIALLY THE CONGESTION
00:27:54 TRANSPORTATION PLANS THAT WE HAD REALLY LOOKING AT MEDICAL
00:27:58 BECAUSE FROM FROM MY PERSPECTIVE THAT'S PART OF MY
00:28:01 RESPONSIBILITY AND AND IT WENT VERY WELL FROM THOSE
00:28:06 PERSPECTIVES I'M LOOKING AT FLEET WEEK THE SAME WAY I DO
00:28:10 NOT HOLD I MEAN A LOT OF CONCERN THAT THIS EVENT IS
00:28:14 GOING TO BE WAY MORE THAN WE ANTICIPATE AND BUT WE WILL PLAN
00:28:21 FOR IT TO BE MORE BUT YOU KNOW LIKE THIS IS NOT GOING TO BE AS
00:28:27 OF JULY LEVEL CROWDS. I I'M PRETTY SURE OF THAT.
00:28:31 >> WHY? >> WELL, IT IS IT'S WE'RE
00:28:35 LOOKING AT IT HISTORICALLY IT IS EVENT THAT HAS HAPPENED
00:28:38 BEFORE BEFORE WHERE IS 4TH OF JULY WAS SOMETHING THAT HAD
00:28:44 NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE ON 4TH OF JULY.
00:28:46 >> IT WAS HIGHLY YOU KNOW PROMOTE IT.
00:28:50 IT WAS THE TYPE OF THING I THINK WHEN PEOPLE HEAR OF
00:28:51 SOMETHING NEW THAT HASN'T HAPPENED BEFORE WE'RE SEEING A
00:28:55 LOT OF PEOPLE SHOW UP. WE GENERALLY KNOW THE THAT
00:29:01 PEOPLE WHO GO TO SEE THE BLUE ANGELS ARE PEOPLE THAT COME
00:29:09 PRETTY CONSISTENTLY AND EVEN IF YOU OVERLAY A PERCENTAGE OF
00:29:13 PEOPLE THAT ARE LIKE HEY, I'VE NEVER SEEN IT, I'M GOING TO
00:29:14 COME IN, SAN FRANCISCO IS BACK, I STILL DON'T THINK WE'RE GOING
00:29:18 TO HAVE THAT NUMBER AND THAT'S REALLY BASED ON 20 YEARS OF
00:29:22 PARTICIPATION IN IN FLEET WEEK. >> OKAY.
00:29:26 THANK YOU. WHAT HAVE WE REQUESTED
00:29:33 VOLUNTARY MAYBE THIS IS A BETTER QUESTION FOR THE MTA SO
00:29:37 FEEL FREE TO PUSH IT TO THEM BUT HAVE WE REQUESTED THE
00:29:41 VOLUNTEER OPERATING CHANGES OF THE VARIOUS RIDESHARE COMPANIES
00:29:44 FOR THAT TWO POINT FIVE EVENT? >> GREAT.
00:29:47 THEN I GUESS MY LAST QUESTION FOR YOU CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE
00:29:52 BIT ABOUT THE REAL TIME COMMUNICATION CHANNELS THAT
00:29:55 HAPPEN WITH THE DEPARTMENTS AND HOW YOU MONITOR VARIOUS
00:30:02 SITUATIONS IN REAL TIME? >> LIKE TO SAY LIKE OH MY GOSH,
00:30:06 THERE'S A CROWDED MEANS OF EGRESS.
00:30:07 WE NEED TO CLEAR THAT. CAN YOU TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
00:30:10 THOSE COMMUNICATIONS? >> YEAH, I'M I'M GOING TO DEFER
00:30:13 I BELIEVE YOU'LL HEAR A LITTLE MORE ABOUT THAT AND SHOULD HEAR
00:30:17 ON THE GROUND OPERATIONS FROM POLICE, FIRE AND MTA.
00:30:18 BUT I WILL SAY THAT WE HAVE WE WILL HAVE EITHER OUR EOC OR OUR
00:30:27 WE WILL HAVE THE EOC ACTIVATED AT A CERTAIN LEVEL.
00:30:29 >> SO WHAT HAPPENS IS THAT INFORMATION FLOWS UP EITHER
00:30:32 THROUGH DISPATCH OR THROUGH OUR EOC.
00:30:38 SO ONE OF THE MAIN THINGS THAT WE HAVE TO DO IS NOT ONLY HAVE
00:30:40 THE RIGHT PARTNERS IN THE ROOM BUT MAINTAIN WHAT WE CALL
00:30:44 SITUATIONAL AWARENESS. SO WE'RE GOING TO BE WATCHING
00:30:47 CROWD SIZE. WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING AT
00:30:50 WHETHER WE'RE GOING TO BE LOOKING CONSTANTLY MONITORING
00:30:51 THE EMS SYSTEM AND HEARING FROM OUR PUBLIC SAFETY PARTNERS SO
00:30:57 THAT IF SOMETHING UNUSUAL IS HAPPENING THEY'RE ANTICIPATING
00:31:02 AN ISSUE. WE HAVE A COORDINATED PLACE
00:31:05 WHERE WE HEAR THAT AND SO YOU JUST HAVE TO THINK ABOUT IT
00:31:07 BASICALLY INFORMATION MOSTLY FLOWS FROM THE GROUND UP
00:31:09 SOMETIMES THAT CAN COME THE OTHER WAY IF THERE'S SOME
00:31:13 SITUATION COMING IN I DON'T KNOW AN EXAMPLE WOULD BE
00:31:17 WEATHER OR IF WE GOT SOME OTHER INFORMATION ABOUT FOR INSTANCE
00:31:21 A FIRST AMENDMENT ACTIVITY THAT WE MAY HEAR ABOUT THAT'S GOING
00:31:27 TO COME AND YOU KNOW, GO TO CRISSY FIELD OR TRY TO DO A
00:31:32 PROTEST DOWN THERE. THOSE ARE THE KIND OF THINGS
00:31:35 THAT WE WOULD COORDINATE IN REAL TIME, COME UP WITH
00:31:38 PLANS AND MOVE FORWARD. >> WHO MAKES THE FINAL CALL IF
00:31:42 SIGNIFICANT OPERATIONAL CHANGE LIKE A SHUTTING DOWN OF A
00:31:46 STREET ALL OF A SUDDEN OR POLICE ESCORTS FOR X TYPE OF
00:31:50 VEHICLES. >> SO GENERALLY IT SO IT WILL
00:31:54 DEPEND IT REALLY DOES DEPEND ON WHAT THE SITUATION IS
00:31:58 OBVIOUSLY. PD HAS JURISDICTION TO IF THERE
00:32:03 IS A PUBLIC SAFETY THAT'S WITHIN THEIR JURISDICTION THEY
00:32:09 WILL DO THAT IF WE ARE IF THERE'S KIND OF MULTIPLE THINGS
00:32:14 GOING ON WE WILL DO THAT WITHIN THE EOC AND TALK ABOUT THAT IF
00:32:18 THERE'S SOMETHING REALLY SIGNIFICANT THAT YOU KNOW IS
00:32:22 IMPACTING A BIG PART OF THE CITY OR REALLY LIFE SAFETY, WE
00:32:25 WILL PULL TOGETHER A POLICY GROUP THAT WOULD INCLUDE THE
00:32:29 MAYOR AND THE DEPARTMENT HEADS, YOU KNOW, TO COME TOGETHER TO
00:32:31 BE SAY WHAT DO WE WANT TO DO? BUT FOR THE MOST PART THESE
00:32:34 THINGS ARE DEALT WITH IN REAL TIME EITHER BY PUBLIC SAFETY ON
00:32:38 THE GROUND OR IF IT'S MORE COMPLEX AND HAS MULTIPLE
00:32:42 DEPARTMENT ALL COORDINATION NEEDS THAT WOULD BE AT THE EOC.
00:32:48 >> GOT IT. AND THEN JUST BACK ONE LAST
00:32:50 QUESTION ON ON CROWD SIZE I SHOULD HAVE ASKED BEFORE BUT IT
00:32:53 SOUNDS LIKE CROWD SIZE ESTIMATES ARE DONE BY THE EVENT
00:32:57 ORGANIZER PRIMARILY IN CONSULTATION WITH A VARIETY
00:33:01 OF CITY DEPARTMENTS. >> AT WHAT POINT IS THE FINAL
00:33:09 DECISION MADE LIKE I GUESS WHO IS INVOLVED IN THE FINAL KIND
00:33:13 OF SIGN OFF ON THIS IS THE ESTIMATED CROWD SIZE THAT WE
00:33:16 ALL AGREE ON. >> SO THE REALLY THE PRODUCER
00:33:21 PROVIDES THAT INFORMATION AND AND AGAIN THERE ARE SOME IT
00:33:29 DEPENDS SO IT DEPENDS THE LEVEL OF PERMITTING THAT THE EVENT IS
00:33:33 ASKING FOR. >> SO WE HAVE AN ESCORT WHICH
00:33:38 IS OUR BIG PERMITTING COORDINATION STRUCTURE.
00:33:44 SO IT REALLY DEPENDS AND I WOULD DEFER TO SOME OF MY
00:33:47 PARTNERS ESPECIALLY MTA ALSO BECAUSE ESCORTS UNDER THEM TO
00:33:52 TALK ABOUT THOSE WE BRING A LOT OF THESE NUMBERS IN TOGETHER SO
00:33:56 I CAN FOR EXAMPLE SAY UNDER EMS WHICH IS UNDER THE YOU KNOW IF
00:34:03 WE GET AN ESTIMATE FOR FROM A FROM AN EVENT THAT WE ARE
00:34:07 SKEPTICAL OF, WE WILL GO BACK AND PRESS ON THAT AND SAY HEY,
00:34:11 HISTORIC YOU'RE YOU'RE SAYING THERE'S GOING TO BE 999 PEOPLE
00:34:16 BUT FOR THE LAST FIVE YEARS YOU'VE HAD 5000 PEOPLE SHOW UP
00:34:18 OR SOME OTHER YOU KNOW, WE HAVE THE ABILITY TO TO DO SOME GIVE
00:34:24 AND TAKE WITH THAT GROUP. OBVIOUSLY WE ALL WANT EVENTS TO
00:34:28 GO OFF WELL AND FOR PEOPLE TO BE SAFE.
00:34:29 >> OKAY. THANK YOU.
00:34:30 I APPRECIATE IT. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:34:32 COLLEAGUES SUPERVISOR WANG HAS SOME QUESTIONS.
00:34:36 >> I'M SORRY. I'M SORRY.
00:34:37 OKAY. >> THANK YOU FOR STAYING UP
00:34:40 THERE DURING SOME PAST MAJOR EVENTS LIKE THE PGE.
00:34:43 >> ANY OUTAGES AS WAYMO HAS BEEN A CHALLENGE FOR FIRST
00:34:48 RESPONDERS AND CONGESTION AND I SAW SOME SLIDES IN THE IN LARGE
00:34:52 STAR AND I THINK THE SLIDES UP ON SCREEN WERE SLIGHTLY UPDATED
00:34:56 SO SO I SAW SOME SOME UPDATES ON THERE IS 1 OR 2 UNDERSTAND
00:35:02 ARE THERE ANY AREAS THAT DIEM WOULD LIKE TO GET GEOFENCE
00:35:06 IN PARTICULAR THAT WE SHOULD FOR SPECIFICALLY?
00:35:10 >> YES I WE HAVE NOT SO S.F. MTA WOULD BE THE LEAD IF THEY
00:35:18 LEAD THAT DISCUSSION AS THE STREETS ARE THEIR JURISDICTION
00:35:22 AND IT IS GENERALLY YOU KNOW INTERACT WITH THEIR SYSTEM SO
00:35:29 I'M GOING TO LET THEM ANSWER THAT QUESTION I WILL SAY FROM
00:35:32 DIEM'S PERSPECTIVE WE WORK VERY COLLABORATIVELY WITH MTA ONCE
00:35:37 THEY HAVE DONE THEIR INITIAL SORT OF A ASSESSMENT
00:35:44 AND CONVERSATION WITH THE HEAVY COMPANIES, WE HAVE BEEN BROUGHT
00:35:48 IN ALSO WITH PD AND FIRE BECAUSE THERE'S A LOT OF THINGS
00:35:52 THAT WE HAVE TO CONSIDER, RIGHT?
00:35:55 >> SO LIKE FOR INSTANCE OUTSIDE LANDS WE WANTED TO THINK ABOUT
00:35:59 THE RESIDENTS THAT WERE THERE AND THE GEOFENCING STARTED ON
00:36:03 FRIDAY TIME WAS ADJUSTED SO PEOPLE COULD GET TO WORK
00:36:07 AND YOU KNOW THERE WERE CERTAIN NEIGHBORHOOD CONSIDERATIONS.
00:36:10 THERE WAS A HOSPITAL THAT FELL WITHIN THE GEOFENCING FOR PART
00:36:14 OF IT. WE HAD TO MAKE SURE THAT WAS
00:36:15 STILL OPEN. SO AGAIN, IT REALLY DEPENDS SO
00:36:19 MUCH OF THESE EVENTS DEPEND ON WHAT WHO WHERE, WHEN.
00:36:26 >> RIGHT. AND THAT IS WHY WE FOR EVERY
00:36:30 EVENT COME AND REASSESS. >> SO THERE ISN'T WHILE WE HAVE
00:36:34 A CHECKLIST FOR WHAT WE LOOK AT OBVIOUSLY WE HAVE TO TAKE THAT
00:36:38 COMPARED TO WHAT WE'RE DEALING WITH IN THAT EVENT AND THEN
00:36:42 MAKE DECISIONS COLLECTIVELY. >> OKAY.
00:36:45 I'LL BE SAVING SOME OF THOSE QUESTIONS FOR MTA AND THEN MTA
00:36:48 WILL BE READY. >> THANK YOU.
00:36:52 >> ANYTHING ELSE? THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:36:55 APPRECIATE IT. AND NOW I THINK WE HAVE THE MTA
00:37:00 HERE REPRESENTED BY DIRECTOR KIRSCHBAUM OH, I'M SORRY.
00:37:15 >> AM I GOING OUT OF ORDER? I HAVE ARE YOU OKAY?
00:37:19 SORRY. HAPPY TO DO IT.
00:37:22 THIS IS OKAY. GOOD MORNING JULIE KIRSCHBAUM
00:37:26 IS A MTA DIRECTOR. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING US.
00:37:33 I JUST WANT TO START BY SHARING THAT S.F. MTA IS REALLY
00:37:36 COMMITTED TO SUPPORTING THE CITY'S SPECIAL EVENTS.
00:37:41 YOU KNOW PART OF THE SPECIAL EVENTS IS WHAT MAKES SAN
00:37:45 FRANCISCO SAN FRANCISCO THERE ARE HUGE ECONOMIC GENERATOR BUT
00:37:49 THEY'RE ALSO A GREAT WAY TO GROW MUNI RIDERSHIP.
00:37:53 WE FIND THAT WHEN PEOPLE HAVE A GOOD EXPERIENCE TAKING MUNI TO
00:38:00 A SPECIAL EVENT THEY'RE MUCH MORE LIKELY TO START USING MUNI
00:38:04 FOR OTHER TRIPS LIKE WORK OR SCHOOL FOR FLEET WEEK YOU KNOW
00:38:11 OUR FLEET WEEK TRANSPORTATION PLAN AS MARY ELLEN SHARED IS
00:38:15 REALLY WELL TESTED AND WELL REHEARSED.
00:38:19 WE HAVE DECADES OF EXPERIENCE ON WHAT TO EXPECT AND IN
00:38:23 PARTICULAR THE EVENT CHARACTERISTIC TICS MAKE IT A
00:38:27 RELATIVELY EASY EVENT FOR US TO MANAGE.
00:38:31 ONE OF THE KEY FEATURES IS THAT FLEET WEEK IS AN ALL DAY EVENT
00:38:35 SO ATTENDEES ARRIVE AND ARRIVALS AND DEPARTURES ARE
00:38:39 SPREAD OUT THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
00:38:42 THE AIRSHOW CAN ALSO BE VIEWED FROM MULTIPLE LOCATIONS AND SO
00:38:46 THE ENTIRE NORTHERN WATERFRONT SPREAD OUT BETWEEN MERCURY
00:38:50 AND GREEN AND PIER 39. BUT WE ALSO HAVE FOLKS THAT
00:38:54 WATCH IT ON THE BERNAL HILL FOR EXAMPLE.
00:38:55 YOU KNOW, IT IS SOMETHING THAT CAN BE BROADLY SEEN FROM KIND
00:38:59 OF ANY HIGH POINT IN THE CITY. THE OTHER THING IS THE TIMING
00:39:05 OF THE EVENT. YOU KNOW THE ACTIVITIES END BY
00:39:08 4 P.M. SO SOME PEOPLE LEAVE AND GO HOME BUT THEN OTHER
00:39:11 PEOPLE GO THEY VISIT BARS AND RESTAURANTS AND BUSINESSES
00:39:15 TO AVOID THE RUSH AND THAT REALLY SPREADS OUT THE DEMAND
00:39:17 ALSO. >> AND THEN THE LAST THING IS,
00:39:20 YOU KNOW, THE AIRSHOW IS THE SAME ALL THREE DAYS AND IT'S
00:39:23 TYPICALLY THE SAME YEAR AFTER YEAR WHICH ALSO SPREADS OUT THE
00:39:27 AUDIENCE. SO FROM OUR EXPERIENCE, YOU
00:39:31 KNOW, WE ALSO HAVE A LARGE CONTINGENT THAT WILL WALK OR
00:39:35 BIKE BETWEEN THE EMBARCADERO STATION AND THE WATERFRONT
00:39:39 WHICH IS ALSO A PRETTY BIG DISTINCTION FOR 4TH OF JULY.
00:39:43 IT'S VERY EASY FOR FOLKS TO GET TO BART AND THE MUNI METRO
00:39:47 THROUGH A LOT OF DIFFERENT MEANS.
00:39:53 THE EVENTS ALONG THE WATERFRONT LIKE FLEET WEEK ARE SERVED BY
00:39:58 NUMEROUS MUNI LINES WHICH OFFER CONNECTIONS BETWEEN CISCO AS
00:40:02 WELL AS REGIONAL PROVIDERS LIKE BART AND FERRIES AND CALTRAIN.
00:40:08 OUR SERVICE PLAN IS FOR FRIDAY, SATURDAY AND SUNDAY AND IT IS
00:40:12 SIMILAR TO PREVIOUS YEARS SERVICE ON KEY LINES ARE
00:40:17 BOLSTERED WITH ADDITIONAL BUSSES AND BEFORE THE EVENT
00:40:21 THOSE BUSSES ARE CIRCULATING AFTER THE EVENT THEY ARE STAGED
00:40:25 SO AS PEOPLE LEAVE WE FILL UP BUSSES AND THEY GO THE F LINE
00:40:32 TURNS BACK AT PIER 39 JUST BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT GOING ON
00:40:39 ALONG THE WHARF AND THEN THE REST OF THE AREA IS SERVED BY
00:40:44 BUSSES SO WE HAVE ABOUT TWICE AS MUCH SERVICE ON THE F LINE
00:40:47 THAN WE WOULD ON A TYPICAL WEEKEND AND WE ALSO HAVE EXTRA
00:40:51 BUSSES ON THE 28 19TH AVENUE BETWEEN DALY CITY, BART
00:40:55 AND VENUS AND NORTH POINT ABOUT 50% MORE THAN WE WOULD
00:40:58 TYPICALLY AND THEN THE 49 IS ALSO BEEFED UP BY ABOUT 30%.
00:41:04 YOU KNOW IN ADDITION WE ALSO HAVE THE EIGHT THE 19 THE 20 TO
00:41:10 THE 30 THE 43 WHICH ARE ALL SERVING KIND OF VARIOUS
00:41:14 LOCATIONS ALONG THE VIEWING AREA LIKE OUR TRANSIT PLAN, OUR
00:41:18 TRAFFIC CONTROL PLAN FOR FLEET WEEK HAS ALSO BEEN REFINED OVER
00:41:22 DECADES. PICKLES WILL BE STATIONED ALONG
00:41:26 BEACH STREET IN FISHERMAN'S WHARF AND AS CROWDS DEVELOP
00:41:30 THROUGHOUT THE AFTERNOON THE PICTURES MAY CLOSE JEFFERSON
00:41:33 STREET AS NEEDED. SO YOU KNOW, ONE OF YOUR
00:41:36 QUESTIONS WAS, YOU KNOW, HOW DO WE ANTICIPATE FLUCTUATIONS
00:41:40 IN CROWD OR FLUCTUATIONS AND LEVELS BEING PREPARED TO
00:41:44 MAKE A CLOSURE IF WE NEED TO IS ONE EXAMPLE OF THAT THAT'S VERY
00:41:47 SIMILAR TO HOW WE HANDLE POKEMON AND THIS LAST WEEKEND
00:41:51 LOCAL ACCESS LOADING AND OFF STREET PARKING WILL BE
00:41:55 MAINTAINED IN THE MARINA OR PECOS WILL FACILITATE TRAFFIC
00:41:59 FLOW AND PEDESTRIAN ACTIVITY ALONG THE MARINA BOULEVARD.
00:42:02 WE'LL KEEP THE FOCUS ON KEY INTERSECTIONS LIKE GIRARD
00:42:06 MARINA YACHT, FILLMORE AND MARINA WHERE THE 22 MAKES
00:42:11 ITS LOOP. AND THEN BECAUSE WE TYPICALLY
00:42:16 SEE A LOT OF KIND OF EXTRA ACTIVITY ALONG THE LOMBARD
00:42:20 CROOKED STREET, OUR NORMAL WEEKEND DEPLOYMENT OF STAFFING
00:42:24 FOR PECOS WILL BE DOUBLED TO A PECOS AND THEN AS TYPICAL OF
00:42:27 OUR MAJOR EVENTS, S.F. MTA WILL ACTIVATE OUR DEPARTMENT
00:42:32 OPERATIONS CENTER. THIS ALLOWS US TO BE VERY
00:42:36 FLEXIBLE. IT MEANS ALL KEY DECISION
00:42:39 MAKERS ARE IN THE ROOM RATHER THAN HAVING TO BE, YOU KNOW,
00:42:43 TRACKED DOWN. SO IF WE DO SEE UNUSUAL
00:42:47 ACTIVITY FOR EXAMPLE, WE CAN MAKE QUICK DECISIONS SO WE
00:42:54 SOMETIMES IF WE'RE SEEING UNEXPECTED CROWDS WILL SHIFT
00:42:59 RESOURCES EITHER OPERATORS THAT ARE ON REPORT MAY PULL OUT
00:43:03 EXTRA BUSSES OR WE MAY IN SOME CASES EVEN DIVERT BUSSES FROM
00:43:06 OTHER ROUTES TO SERVE THE EVENT .
00:43:12 AND THEN EVERY SUNDAY OF FLEET WEEK COINCIDES WITH THE ITALIAN
00:43:15 HERITAGE PARADE AND FESTIVAL AND BECAUSE THESE EVENTS ALWAYS
00:43:19 OCCUR ON THE SAME WEEKEND AND BASICALLY IN THE SAME PLACE
00:43:23 ,YOU KNOW WE DO HAVE EXPERIENCE MANAGING BOTH THE
00:43:25 TRANSIT AND TRAFFIC OF BOTH EVENTS SIMULTANEOUSLY SO MUNI
00:43:31 REROUTES WILL BE IN PLACE FOR THE EIGHT, THE 30 AND THE 45
00:43:34 THAT INFORMATION IS AVAILABLE ON OUR WEBSITE AND ALSO SHOWN
00:43:38 ON THIS MAP. THE PARADE BEGINS FROM
00:43:42 JEFFERSON TO POWELL AT 12:30 P.M. AND PROCEEDS SOUTH DOWN
00:43:45 COLUMBUS AVENUE ENDING IN FRONT OF THE WASHINGTON SQUARE PARK
00:43:50 REROUTES TYPICALLY BEGIN AROUND 8 A.M. AND WE TYPICALLY HAVE
00:43:58 ALL THE STREETS CLEARED BY 5 P.M. AND THAT INCLUDES THE KIND
00:44:03 OF THE STREET CLEANING AND WE SWEEP THE OVERHEAD LINES
00:44:06 AND THINGS LIKE THAT. WE COMMUNICATE THE PARADE
00:44:10 ROUTES TO RIDERS VIA OUR WEBSITE SOCIAL MEDIA.
00:44:13 THERE'S ALSO NOTIFICATIONS IN OUR SHELTERS AS WELL AS
00:44:17 IN OUR WEEKLY TRANSIT AND TRAFFIC ADVISORY TO THE
00:44:18 MEDIA. PARKING CONTROL OFFICERS WILL
00:44:24 BE AN ADDITION SO WE DON'T TAKE OFFICERS THAT WERE OUT FRIDAY
00:44:29 AND SATURDAY. THERE'S AN ADDITIONAL 25 THAT
00:44:32 WILL STAFF THE PARADE ASSEMBLY AND BREAK DOWN AND THEN WE
00:44:36 COORDINATE WITH SFPD THAT STAFFS THE PARADE ROUTE ITSELF.
00:44:40 SO PCSOS ARE ALWAYS ON THE PERIMETER OF THE EVENT AND THEN
00:44:46 PD MANAGES THE PARADE ITSELF. I'M HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY
00:44:53 QUESTIONS ON AUTONOMOUS VEHICLES.
00:44:54 YOU KNOW THIS IS CLEARLY AN EMERGING AREA ESPECIALLY AS WE
00:45:01 SEE LARGER AND LARGER FLEETS FOR PAST EVENTS COORDINATION
00:45:05 WITH AV COMPANIES HAS BEEN LED BY THE EVENT SPONSOR AND THEN
00:45:09 FOR CITY EVENTS CITY SPONSORED EVENTS ARE AN EVENT WITHOUT A
00:45:13 SPONSOR. AS SUCH MTA HAS LED THE
00:45:17 COORDINATION DURING OUTSIDE LANDS OUR COLLABORATION WITH
00:45:21 AUTONOMOUS VEHICLE COMPANIES LED TO THE MUTUAL DEVELOPMENT
00:45:25 OF A PERIMETER AROUND THE EVENT.
00:45:28 THE DECISION TO LIMIT THE OPERATIONS ON THE STREETS WITH
00:45:32 ANTICIPATED EVENT TRAFFIC WAS EFFECTIVE IN AVOIDING
00:45:36 DISRUPTIONS BUT OUTSIDE LANDS IS A VERY DIFFERENT EVENT THAN
00:45:40 FLEET WEEK. THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE ARE EXITING
00:45:43 AT THE SAME TIME FROM ONLY 2 OR 3 LOCATIONS SO BOTH PEDESTRIAN
00:45:51 ACTIVITY AS WELL AS IF UNCHECKED DROP OFF AND PICK UP
00:45:55 ACTIVITY ARE EXTREMELY CONCENTRATED WHICH IS JUST NOT
00:45:59 WHAT WE SEE FOR FLEET WEEK WHICH IS WHY FOR FLEET WEEK WE
00:46:03 ACTUALLY ARE NOT DOING ANY KIND OF ADDITIONAL REQUESTS TO TNC
00:46:13 TO UBER OR LYFT. THERE DROP OFF AND PICKUPS ARE
00:46:17 REALLY DIFFUSED THROUGHOUT THE AREA AND THEY HAVE NOT CREATED
00:46:21 ANY EVENT ISSUES WE ARE WORKING THOUGH WITH THE AV COMPANIES TO
00:46:28 RESTRICT OPERATIONS AND JUST AVOID SOME KEY STREETS LIKE
00:46:33 LOMBARD AND VENICE AND THE EMBARCADERO.
00:46:37 THEY'RE CURRENTLY EVALUATING THAT REQUEST AND WHILE WE DON'T
00:46:41 YOU KNOW, REGULATE THE COMPANIES AND COMPLIANCE IS
00:46:45 VOLUNTARY, YOU KNOW, I THINK THERE'S BROAD RECOGNITION THAT
00:46:50 IT BENEFITS EVERYONE FOR US TO BE APPROACHING THESE EVENTS
00:46:53 TOGETHER. THERE ARE SOME VERY LIMITED
00:46:59 TIMES UNDER HB 1777 WHERE THE CITY IS ALLOWED TO PUT UP IN A
00:47:06 V A MANDATORY V GEOFENCING BUT THAT'S REALLY FOR AN UNEXPECTED
00:47:10 EMERGENCY. SO FOR THIS SPECIAL EVENTS IT'S
00:47:14 REALLY A VOLUNTARY OPT IN AND YOU KNOW WE'RE LEARNING FROM
00:47:18 EVERY EVENT AS AS WE GO. I THINK THOSE ARE THE KIND OF
00:47:23 THE KEY THINGS THAT I WANTED TO SHARE WITH YOU AND I'M HAPPY TO
00:47:27 ANSWER ANY ANY QUESTIONS THAT YOU HAVE.
00:47:30 >> GREAT. THANKS.
00:47:31 TREASURER HIRSCH FROM I YOU KNOW ESPECIALLY LOOKING AT JULY
00:47:37 FOURTH I REALLY LIKED THE WAY THAT THE MTA APPROACHED IT WITH
00:47:42 DIRECTED DIRECT YOU KNOW DIRECT ACCESS TRANSIT LINES, EXTRA
00:47:45 SERVICE AND WHAT STRUCK ME IS ONE OF THE LARGEST PROBLEMS WAS
00:47:49 NOT THAT MTA HADN'T PROVIDED FOR THE AMOUNT OF SERVICE WITH
00:47:53 CAPACITY BUT WAS THAT LIKE CARS DECIDED TO DRIVE IN THE BUS
00:48:01 LANES AND BLOCK THE TRAFFIC THERE WERE JUST SO MANY CARS
00:48:04 AND CONGESTION ON THE STREET THAT IT CREATED HUGE PROBLEMS.
00:48:08 SO FIRST OF ALL I'M APPRECIATIVE OF THE WORK THAT
00:48:11 WENT IN JULY 4TH EVEN THOUGH MAYBE IT DIDN'T WORK SO WELL.
00:48:14 >> AND SECOND, I RECOGNIZE VERY MUCH ABOUT HOW THIS IS
00:48:19 DIFFERENT IN TERMS OF THE DIFFUSION OF PEOPLE ACROSS A
00:48:22 WIDE EXPANSE OF OF OF SPACE FRANKLY.
00:48:26 QUESTION ON CAPACITY YOU OUTLINED THE ADDITIONAL
00:48:30 CAPACITY QUITE WELL. I APPRECIATE THAT.
00:48:33 HOW WERE THOSE CAPACITIES NUMBER HOW ARE THOSE CAPACITY
00:48:35 NUMBERS ARRIVED AT THERE ARRIVED AT WHAT WE HAVE
00:48:44 TYPICALLY SEEN IN PAST EVENTS GOING GOING BACK MANY YEARS.
00:48:51 SO WE HAVE WE DIDN'T HAVE FLEET WEEK LAST YEAR I BELIEVE TO I
00:48:59 IMAGINE THAT THAT WE BUT WE DID HAVE IT IN PREVIOUS YEARS BUT
00:49:04 THEN WE ALSO GO BACK TO BEFORE COVID WHICH IS PROBABLY A MUCH
00:49:07 BETTER INDICATOR OF EVENT VOLUMES AND LOOK AT THAT AS
00:49:11 WELL. >> ARE YOU FACTORING IN A SAN
00:49:14 FRANCISCO AS POPULAR MULTIPLIER THIS YEAR?
00:49:17 WE ARE JUST BECAUSE AS MARY ELLEN INDICATED LIKE EVERY
00:49:21 EVENT RIGHT NOW IS GETTING CAN I ASK WHAT THE MULTIPLIER YOUR
00:49:25 LASER FOCUS CAN I ASK WHAT THE MULTIPLIER YOU'RE USING IS I
00:49:29 WOULD JUST SAY IT'S A COMFORTABLE CUSHION.
00:49:33 >> OKAY. SO YOU EXPECT THERE TO BE MORE
00:49:36 CAPACITY AND THERE WAS IN SAY 2024.
00:49:37 YES. OKAY, GREAT.
00:49:39 THANK YOU. YOU MENTIONED PLANNING AROUND
00:49:40 RIDESHARES AND AVS. I FULLY UNDERSTOOD THAT.
00:49:44 PERSONALLY I WISH WE HAD MORE AUTHORITY AROUND PLANNING FOR
00:49:50 LARGE SCALE EVENTS. >> WE DO NOT.
00:49:51 YOU MENTIONED CLOSING ACCESS TO LOMBARD VAN NESS THE
00:49:58 EMBARCADERO IS THAT RIGHT? OR IN SOME SO OUR DISCUSSIONS
00:50:02 HAVE BEEN ABOUT AVOIDING THOSE KEY STREET.
00:50:06 >> GOT IT. AND IS THERE A REASON VAN NESS
00:50:10 IS THAT A SEGMENT OF VAN NESS OR ALL OF VENICE?
00:50:14 >> I BELIEVE IT'S A SEGMENT AND IS IN THE NORTHERN THE
00:50:18 NORTHERN SEGMENT IS IT A SEGMENT OF LOMBARD OR THE
00:50:21 ENTIRETY OF LOMBARD SEGMENT SEGMENT LIKE I CAN IMAGINE THE
00:50:25 CROOKED STREETS THE CROOKED PART OF LOMBARD MAKES SENSE BUT
00:50:29 I'M CURIOUS IF IT'S NOT LIKE YOU KNOW, PART OF LOMBARD LIKE
00:50:34 A HIGHWAY I'M GOING TO ASK JARED GREAT.
00:50:37 >> THANK YOU. APPRECIATE IT.
00:50:38 GOOD MORNING. >> JARED HORN WAS STILL ACTIVE
00:50:42 IN TRAFFIC ENGINEERING. WE'VE BEEN WORKING WITH AVI
00:50:45 COMPANIES SPECIFICALLY AROUND BOTH THE FISHERMAN'S WHARF
00:50:49 AND MARINA NEIGHBORHOODS AVOIDING THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS
00:50:52 BUT ALSO AVOIDING THE KEY MAJOR STREETS THAT CARRY A LOT OF
00:50:54 THAT POST-EVENT TRAFFIC AWAY FROM THOSE NEIGHBORHOODS.
00:50:57 SO WE'RE TALKING ABOUT THE THE US 1 TO 1 SEGMENT OF LOMBARD
00:51:01 THROUGH THE MARINA VAN NESS PRIMARILY NORTH OF BROADWAY
00:51:05 EMBARCADERO AS WELL GENERALLY NORTH OF BROADWAY BECAUSE WE
00:51:09 KNOW FROM EXPERIENCE THAT ENSURING THOSE STREETS REMAIN
00:51:15 OPEN AND FLOWING IS CRITICAL TO THAT POST-EVENT EGRESS I GUESS.
00:51:20 >> JARED, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
00:51:21 I GUESS MY GOAL IN ANSWERING THESE QUESTIONS IS TWOFOLD.
00:51:27 >> ONE IS TO MAYBE HELP THINK THROUGH THINGS BUT ALSO TO
00:51:29 COMMUNICATE TO PEOPLE WHAT TO EXPECT.
00:51:31 AND FOR A LOT OF PEOPLE EGRESS MEANS RIDESHARE.
00:51:34 NOW I THINK WE'D ALL LIKE MORE PEOPLE TO EGRESS VIA BUSSES.
00:51:38 ARE YOU AS YOU TALK ABOUT CLEAR MEANS OF EGRESS, ARE YOU
00:51:42 LOOKING AT IT SO THAT TRANSIT LINES HAVE CLEAR LINES OF
00:51:46 EGRESS AND YOU'RE TRYING TO PUSH THE RIDESHARES OFF THE
00:51:50 MAJOR TRANSIT LINE CORRIDORS? AM I UNDERSTANDING THAT
00:51:53 CORRECTLY? >> THAT IS TYPICALLY HOW WOULD
00:51:54 APPROACH IT. >> BUT IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU'RE
00:51:58 NOT CLOSING STREETS NECESSARILY TO CARTREF RIGHT?
00:52:01 WE ARE NOT. OH, WE DO AND I'M NOT
00:52:02 ADVOCATING FOR THAT. WE DO HAVE PROTECTED RIGHT OF
00:52:06 WAY RIGHT THE 49 AS WELL AS A GOOD PORTION OF THE F ONE.
00:52:10 >> HAVE THERE BEEN CONVERSATIONS WITH THE POLICE
00:52:13 DEPARTMENT AND I THIS IS KIND OF COMING UP ABOUT MAKING SURE
00:52:17 THOSE PROTECTED BUS LANES ARE PROTECTED BECAUSE I THINK
00:52:21 DURING JULY 4TH WE LEARNED THAT IF THERE'S SO MUCH TRAFFIC
00:52:24 THERE MIGHT BE A HUMAN BEING WHO'S GOING TO PULL INTO THE
00:52:27 THE VAN NESS PROTECTED BUS LANE .
00:52:30 >> SO BECAUSE WE REALLY IN THE ENTIRE TENURE OF THE VENICE
00:52:35 LANES HAVE HAVE NOT SEEN THOSE KINDS OF ISSUES WE ARE NOT
00:52:42 PROACTIVELY PLACING STAFF THERE BUT WE WILL BE MONITORING IT
00:52:47 CLOSELY. PART OF WHAT THE DEPARTMENT
00:52:51 OPERATIONS CENTER IS PREPARED TO DO IS PIVOT STAFF TO MAKE
00:52:54 THAT PROTECTION IF WE NEED TO AND I WOULD JUST ENCOURAGE OPEN
00:52:58 LINES OF COMMUNICATION WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT TO BE
00:53:01 TICKETING PEOPLE WHO ARE BLOCKING BUS LANES.
00:53:02 BUT I THINK WE DID SEE THAT DURING JULY 4TH.
00:53:05 >> GREAT. THANK YOU.
00:53:08 WHAT IS YOU TALKED ABOUT PICOS WHAT IS THE ROLE OF PICOS ON
00:53:13 THESE STREETS? IS IT TICKETING, IS IT PARKING
00:53:17 MANAGEMENT? IS IT TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT?
00:53:18 IS IT PEDESTRIAN SAFETY? JUST WHAT IS THEIR ROLE?
00:53:21 >> I MEAN SO THEIR THEIR ROLE DURING SPECIAL EVENTS IS
00:53:25 LARGELY TO DO INTERSECTION CONTROL AND KEEP TRAFFIC MOVING
00:53:33 AS WELL AS RESPOND TO RESIDENT COMPLAINTS LIKE FOR EXAMPLE
00:53:40 SOMETIMES WE'LL SEE A BLOCKED DRIVEWAY AND THEN THEY ALSO YOU
00:53:47 KNOW THROUGHOUT THEIR DUTIES ARE ALWAYS YOU KNOW ENFORCING
00:53:51 THE CURB COMPLIANCE BUT THEY'RE REALLY OUT THERE FIRST
00:53:55 AND FOREMOST FOR SAFETY AND TO KEEP PEDESTRIANS PROTECTED FROM
00:53:59 VEHICLES AND TO KEEP VEHICLES OPERATING AS EXPECTED.
00:54:03 >> GREAT. THANK YOU.
00:54:04 YOU KNOW, ONE OF THE YOU MENTIONED BLOCKED DRIVEWAYS,
00:54:07 ONE OF THE KIND OF SUCCESSFUL THINGS I HEARD FROM OUTSIDE
00:54:10 LANDS WAS THE PRESENCE OF KIND OF PRE-STAGED TOW TRUCKS AND I
00:54:14 DON'T THINK WE'RE TRYING TO MAKE ANYBODY'S LIFE HARDER BUT
00:54:16 LIKE BLOCKING DRIVEWAYS IS ILLEGAL.
00:54:18 I WOULD ENCOURAGE US TO TO REVISIT THAT AGAIN FOR THIS.
00:54:22 I THINK IT'LL GO A LONG WAY AND I HEARD A LOT OF VERY
00:54:27 POSITIVE FEEDBACK ABOUT THAT FOR OUTSIDE LANDS.
00:54:30 >> THANK YOU FOR THAT INPUT. >> SUPERVISOR ONE THANK YOU.
00:54:36 >> HOW DOES THE MTA PLAN FOR THE NUMBER OF PIECES PER EVENT
00:54:41 IS BASED ON ATTENDANCE? THE GEOGRAPHICAL AREA.
00:54:45 >> JUST WONDERING HOW HOW IT'S CONSIDERED OPERATIONAL.
00:54:46 IT'S TYPICALLY BASED ON THE COMPLEXITY OF THE TRAFFIC
00:54:52 MANAGEMENT FOR THE EVENT SO WE CAN HAVE A VERY LARGE EVENT FOR
00:54:57 EXAMPLE AT MOSCONE WHICH HAS A RELATIVELY LIGHT FOOTPRINT FOR
00:55:04 OUR PARKING CONTROL OFFICERS OR WE CAN HAVE AN EVENT LIKE
00:55:09 PARADE ON MARKET STREET WHERE WE ALSO CLOSE OFF MISSION
00:55:13 STREET FOR BUSSES WHICH HAS A VERY HIGH PCR DEMAND.
00:55:17 SO IT'S REALLY BASED ON HOW HOW THE EVENT INTERACTS WITH THE
00:55:24 CITY CIRCULATION. >> IS THERE A ESTIMATE FOR THE
00:55:29 NUMBER OF PICOS FOR THIS COMING FLEET?
00:55:30 >> YEAH. WE WE WE'RE ANTICIPATING
00:55:35 APPROXIMATELY 30 BEFORE THE EVENT ITSELF AND THEN AN
00:55:39 ADDITIONAL 25 ON ON THAT SUNDAY.
00:55:44 >> GOT IT. AND THEN GOING BACK TO THAT I
00:55:48 GUESS MY QUESTION WAS PARTIALLY ANSWERED EARLIER.
00:55:52 SO PGE ANY AND THE PAST TWO MAJOR EVENTS HAVE HAD WAYMO
00:55:59 CAUSING SOME CHALLENGES FOR FIRST RESPONDERS
00:56:03 AND CONGESTION. >> SOMETIMES THEY STOP IN THE
00:56:04 MIDDLE OF THE STREET AND I THINK THERE ARE SOME STREETS
00:56:06 THAT WERE IDENTIFIED EARLIER LIKE LOMBARD WHERE THERE THERE
00:56:10 MAY BE A REQUEST TO GEOFENCING. I'M JUST WONDERING IF THERE'S I
00:56:16 GUESS SPECIFIC KIND OF AREA THAT MTA WANTS TO GET GEOFENCE.
00:56:20 ASIDE FROM THOSE STREETS THAT WERE MENTIONED EARLIER.
00:56:24 >> SO FOR FOR FOR THIS EVENT WE HAVE IN THE PAST REALLY NOT
00:56:28 SEEN THE NEED FOR IT AS YOU KNOW SUPERVISOR CHERYL SHARED A
00:56:32 LOT OF PEOPLE DO USE TAXIS AND AND IS TO GET TO THE EVENT
00:56:42 TO AVOID THE NEED TO DRIVE AND PARK A CAR SO WE WE TRY TO
00:56:47 PROVIDE THE SORT OF LEAST RESTRICTION THAT IS STILL GOING
00:56:51 TO MAKE THE EVENT WORK AND AND OUR EXPERIENCE AT THIS EVENT WE
00:56:57 HAVE NOT NEEDED RESTRICTIONS. >> OKAY.
00:56:58 SO THERE'S NOT NECESSARILY NEED YOU FENCING PROPOSED THERE IS
00:57:02 NOT GOT TO THEN I GUESS THAT MAKES ME THINK SO WHEN
00:57:09 SOMETIMES WHEN THE VEHICLES A'S ETC. CLUTTER UP BECAUSE THEY
00:57:12 JUST STOP AT A INTERSECTION OR THEY JUST ALL GET CONGESTED
00:57:16 BECAUSE THEY DON'T KNOW HOW TO RESPOND TO SOME UNPREDICTABLE
00:57:20 OR TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. >> I'M JUST THINKING ABOUT HOW
00:57:24 IT CAN JUST REALLY CLUTTER SOME OF THE STREETS.
00:57:28 HOW WOULD WE RESPOND TO THAT OR GET WAYMO TO TO RESPOND TO
00:57:32 THAT? >> SO PART OF WHAT WE'VE DONE
00:57:35 FOR THIS EVENT IS MAKE SURE THAT WE HAVE SPECIFIC CONTACTS
00:57:39 WITHIN WAYMO THAT CAN HELP AND SUPPORT FOR ANY UNEXPECTED
00:57:47 ID ACTIVITY. BUT WE ARE ALSO AS I SAID,
00:57:48 WORKING WITH THEM IN ADVANCED ALSO MAKE SURE THAT THEY KNOW
00:57:52 AS MUCH ABOUT THE EVENT AS WE DO AND CAN CAN MAKE SOME
00:57:58 PROACTIVE DECISIONS GOING INTO THE EVENT.
00:57:59 >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:58:06 APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE. >> LOOK FORWARD TO FOLLOWING UP
00:58:10 ON THE PRE-STAGED TOW TRUCKS BUT THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
00:58:14 >> REALLY APPRECIATE IT. THANK YOU.
00:58:16 OKAY. BACK TO THE REAL ORDER.
00:58:18 SORRY. ERICA BROWN FROM THE FIRE
00:58:21 DEPARTMENT IS HERE. CHIEF BROWN, THANK YOU SO MUCH
00:58:24 . SORRY FOR GOING OUT OF ORDER
00:58:25 THERE BUT APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE TODAY.
00:58:28 >> GO BACK. >> THANK YOU.
00:58:39 SUPERVISOR CHERYL. GOOD MORNING AND THANK YOU FOR
00:58:43 THE OPPORTUNITY TO TALK ABOUT SAN FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT'S
00:58:46 PLANNING IN RESPONSE TO MAJOR EVENTS SPECIFICALLY FLEET WEEK.
00:58:49 >> MY NAME IS ERICA BROWN. I'M THE ASSISTANT DEPUTY CHIEF
00:58:53 OF OUR HOMELAND SECURITY DIVISION AND ONE OF MY MAJOR
00:58:56 RESPONSIBILITIES FOR THE DIVISION IS DIRECT, RESPONSIVE
00:59:01 ABILITY FOR THE FIRE DEPARTMENT'S PLANNING
00:59:02 AND COORDINATION FOR MAJOR EVENTS.
00:59:04 IN ADDITION, EVENT PLANNERS MUST WORK WITH OUR FIRE
00:59:08 MARSHALS TEAM IN THE PREVENTION DIVISION TO PLAN FOR A SAFE
00:59:10 EVENT SO IT'S A TWO PRONGED APPROACH FROM OUR DEPARTMENT TO
00:59:13 ENSURE THAT THE EVENT HAS WHAT THEY NEED.
00:59:16 >> FOR LARGE EVENTS I MEET WITH EVENT PRODUCERS AND OUR PARTNER
00:59:20 PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES WHO ARE HERE IN THE ROOM TO LEARN OF
00:59:23 THEIR PLANS AND MAKE ANY RECOMMENDATIONS.
00:59:27 >> AND THEN I TAKE THAT INFORMATION AND I'M ABLE TO
00:59:28 COORDINATE WITH OUR OPERATIONAL AND COMMAND RESOURCES TO ENSURE
00:59:32 THE EVENT IS SAFE. >> ALSO ENSURE WE HAVE PLANS
00:59:36 FOR COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION DURING THE
00:59:39 EVENT IN REAL TIME FROM OUR PLANNING I PRODUCE AN EVENT
00:59:43 ACTION PLAN IF WE'LL HAVE RESOURCES ASSIGNED OR AN
00:59:47 INFORMATIONAL BULLETIN BASED ON THE INFORMATION I'VE LEARNED
00:59:50 FROM THE EVENT SO THAT THE MEMBERS THAT ARE WORKING IN THE
00:59:52 FIELD ON THE DAY OF THE EVENT THAT MAY NOT BE ASSIGNED TO THE
00:59:55 EVENT HAVE INFORMATION THEY NEED FOR ANY ESCALATING
00:59:59 INCIDENTS TO MOVE ABOUT SAFELY AND MAKE SURE THAT THEY HAVE
01:00:02 CONTACTS WITH ANY RELEVANT PARTIES THAT ARE ASSIGNED TO
01:00:05 THE EVENT. MY PLANNING PROCESS COINCIDES
01:00:09 WITH OUR PERMITS TEAM SO I WORK WITH THE RELEVANT PERMANENT
01:00:10 PROCESSES TO GET THE EVENTS APPROVED.
01:00:13 SOME EXAMPLES OF OUR PERMITTING TEAMS INVOLVEMENT ARE WITH THE
01:00:17 ESCORT STREET CLOSURE PROCESS. WITH EVENTS CREATING CLOSURES
01:00:21 SUCH AS OUTSIDE LANDS AND EVENTS OVER 5000 ATTENDEES
01:00:25 OR WHERE PROPANE IS USED. >> THIS PROCESS REQUIRES AN
01:00:30 INITIAL MEETING WITH THE PERMITS TEAM SIX MONTHS BEFORE
01:00:33 THE EVENT AND IDEAL TIMELINE FOR MY PROCESS IS ALSO SIX
01:00:37 MONTHS AND ALLOWS US TO GAIN INFORMATION TO ASK QUESTIONS
01:00:41 DURING THE PLANNING PROCESS AND TO TO BETTER PROVIDE INPUT
01:00:48 IN A TIMELY MANNER SO THAT PIVOTS CAN BE MADE.
01:00:49 >> WE MAY REDUCE THAT TIMELINE FOR OPERATIONAL PLANNING FOR
01:00:53 EVENTS OR REPEAT ANNUALLY SUCH AS THE CHINESE NEW YEAR PARADE.
01:00:57 BUT THE PERMIT REQUIREMENT DOES NOT CHANGE.
01:01:00 >> THE COMMUNICATION PLAN IS KEY FOR US AND IT'S A PRIORITY
01:01:04 TO TO ENSURE THAT WE HAVE DAY OF COMMUNICATIONS WITH ALL OF
01:01:09 THE ASSIGNED UNITS AND AND AREAS OF RESPONSIBILITY THAT WE
01:01:12 CROSSOVER WITH. >> SO I WORK CLOSELY WITH MY
01:01:16 BATTALION CHIEF THAT IS ASSIGNED TO THE DISPATCH CENTER
01:01:19 ,OUR PARTNERS FROM DISPATCH AND ENSURE THAT WE HAVE THE
01:01:20 RIGHT RESOURCES ASSIGNED FOR INTERAGENCY COORDINATION AT THE
01:01:24 COMMAND POST THAT MAY BE ASSIGNED FOR MAJOR EVENTS FOR
01:01:28 OPERATIONAL RESOURCES I COORDINATE WITH SUPPRESSION
01:01:31 ASSETS OUR EMS ASSETS AND ANY COMMAND POSITIONS THAT MAY BE
01:01:36 NEEDED ON THE DAY OF AND THE SLIDE SHOW.
01:01:39 ONCE WE GET TO IT WELL REFLECT OUR FLEET WEEK OPERATIONAL
01:01:43 POSTURE. >> WE ADD RESOURCES DEDICATED
01:01:47 TO THE EVENT ALLOWING US TO MAINTAIN FULL STAFFING CITYWIDE
01:01:50 . SO RESOURCES THAT ARE ASSIGNED
01:01:51 TO THE EVENT ARE NOT RESOURCES THAT ARE IN OUR FIREHOUSES
01:01:54 AND ON OUR STREETS FOR THE EMS SIDE.
01:01:57 THIS ALLOWS US TO SCALE UP THE RESPONSE FOR OUR MAJOR
01:01:59 UNCERTAINTIES SPADED EVENT WHAT WE CALL AN INCIDENT WITHIN THE
01:02:03 EVENT THAT THAT MAY OCCUR ON TO THE SLIDE PLEASE ON OUR
01:02:10 PLANNING FOR FLEET WEEK IS IS UNDERWAY AND HAS BEEN WITHIN
01:02:17 THE LAST SIX MONTHS AND ONE OF THE KEY ELEMENTS FOR US IS THE
01:02:22 LAND SIDE AS WELL AS THE WATER SIDE.
01:02:23 SO MARITIME RESCUE AND AND SUPPORT FOR THE U.S. COAST
01:02:26 GUARD WHOSE AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY IS THE WATER
01:02:30 SIDE OF THE BAY. WE WORK VERY CLOSELY WITH OUR
01:02:33 LAW ENFORCEMENT PARTNERS AND THEIR MARINE UNIT AND WE
01:02:36 PROVIDE DEDICATED STAFF ON THE FIRE BOATS ALL THREE DAYS OF
01:02:40 THE AIRSHOW. WE COORDINATE THE FOUR WATER
01:02:44 RESCUE FIREFIGHTING RESPONSE AND PROTECTION FOR UNITS OF THE
01:02:47 AIR SHOW AS WELL AS PEOPLE ON THEIR PERSONAL BOATS
01:02:51 AND CHARTERS THAT ARE OUT ENJOYING THE SHOW AND WE JOIN
01:02:55 THE UNIFIED COMMAND WITH THE COAST GUARD S.F. POLICE, THE
01:02:59 PORT OF SAN FRANCISCO AND AND OTHER AREAS FOR THE FRONT LINE.
01:03:04 AND SO OUR OPERATIONAL STAFF THAT IS WELL VERSED
01:03:07 IN RESPONDING TO INCIDENTS ARE THE MEMBERS WHO ARE OUR
01:03:11 STAFFING THE COMMAND POST. WE'VE HAD THE SAME TEAM TWO
01:03:15 YEARS IN A ROW LEADING AND PRIOR TO THAT WE WORK ON
01:03:18 THE CONSISTENCY OF THE STAFFING IN THE COMMAND POST SO THAT
01:03:22 THOSE TEAMS HAVE THE PASSED KNOWLEDGE AREA OF
01:03:26 RESPONSIBILITY AND HAVE A GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PARTNER
01:03:33 AGENCIES. IN ADDITION WE ADD SURGE UNITS
01:03:34 THAT ARE NOT FROM WHAT WE CALL THE SYSTEM OF EMS ALONG THE
01:03:38 WATERFRONT AND VIEWING AREAS AND THIS BACKS UP THE EMS PLAN
01:03:45 THAT THE LOCAL EMS LOCAL EMERGENCY MEDICAL SERVICES
01:03:49 AGENCY THROUGH TO PLAN RESOURCES REQUIRE.
01:03:53 >> SO ONCE THE MEDICAL PLAN IS ESTABLISHED WE'RE AWARE THAT
01:03:56 THIS EVENT IS ONE THAT HAS CAUSED ADDITIONAL NEED FOR EMS
01:04:00 SERVICES AND WE DO SO WE DO PLAN FOR THE INCREASED CALL
01:04:05 VOLUME. >> WE DO ALSO RELY AND WORK
01:04:08 VERY CLOSELY ON DAY OF WITH THE WEBSITE WHO'S MONITORING THE
01:04:11 SYSTEM OVERALL AND DO OUR BEST TO PROVIDE IMPACTS THAT WE'VE
01:04:15 HAD FOR EACH EVENT EACH YEAR THAT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF
01:04:19 RESOURCES THAT GET ASSIGNED TO THE TO THE INCIDENT TO THE
01:04:23 EVENT TO MAKE SURE THAT THE NEXT YEAR WE'RE PLANNING FOR
01:04:26 ANY IMPACTS THAT WE'VE HAD BASED ON PREVIOUS EVENTS AND MY
01:04:31 PRESENTATION THERE AND TAKE ANY QUESTIONS YOU MAY HAVE.
01:04:35 >> GREAT. WELL THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
01:04:36 YOU KNOW, I THINK WHAT'S REALLY INTERESTING ABOUT SOME OF THE
01:04:42 EVENTS THAT CAUSED ARE NOT GOOD SITUATIONS OVER THE PAST YEAR I
01:04:47 HAVE NOT HEARD ONE REPORT OF SOMEONE NOT BEING ABLE TO
01:04:54 ACCESS EMERGENCY CARE AND I THINK THAT GOES TO OR POSSIBLY
01:04:58 TO LUCK BUT ALSO TO THE PREPARATION OF THE FIRE
01:05:02 DEPARTMENT. SO I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT
01:05:04 THAT I REALLY APPRECIATE ALL THE PLANNING AND THOUGHT THAT
01:05:07 GOES INTO THIS. MY OVERRIDING CONCERN THOUGH
01:05:09 GOES BACK TO THAT HOW DO WE DEAL WITH SITUATIONS WHERE
01:05:17 MEANS OF EGRESS MEANS OF ACCESS FOR EMERGENCY SERVICE VEHICLES
01:05:23 MIGHT BE INFRINGED UPON? AND I THINK AS WE'VE HEARD SO
01:05:27 FAR, THIS EVENT IS DIFFERENT FROM ONES WE'VE SEEN IN THE
01:05:35 PAST BECAUSE THE CROWDS ARE DISPERSED ACROSS A BROADER
01:05:38 GEOGRAPHICAL AREA AND SO WE DON'T EXPECT TO HAVE THOSE SAME
01:05:45 IN TENSE CONCENTRATIONS OF PEOPLE BUT WHAT I WOULD LIKE TO
01:05:50 BETTER UNDERSTAND IS HOW DO YOU MONITOR IN REAL TIME THE
01:05:54 SITUATION? WHAT ARE THOSE COMMUNICATION
01:05:58 CHANNELS LOOK LIKE SO THAT YOU CAN KIND OF IN REAL TIME BE
01:06:03 AWARE OF WOW, THERE'S A HUGE TRAFFIC JAM WE MIGHT HAVE TO
01:06:06 REROUTE AND HOW DO YOU KIND OF WHAT ARE THOSE COMMUNICATIONS
01:06:10 CHANNELS LOOK LIKE WHETHER IT'S THROUGH YOUR PRESENCE DSC OR
01:06:11 COMMS WITH THE POLICE DEPARTMENT OR WHATEVER TO
01:06:14 ENSURE THAT AN AMBULANCE WILL TO THE EXTENT POSSIBLE HAVE
01:06:17 ACCESS TO WHEREVER IT NEEDS TO HAVE ACCESS TO?
01:06:20 >> YES AND I WOULD AGREE WITH YOU THAT IT IS A COMBINATION OF
01:06:24 PLANNING AND LOOK YEAH. >> AND SO I FULLY FULLY
01:06:27 IN AGREEMENT WITH YOU ON THAT ONE PREPARED POSITIONING SOME
01:06:31 OF THE RESOURCES IN AN AREA TO TO ACCESS AREAS THAT WE KNOW
01:06:35 WILL BE CONGESTED IS THE PLANNING PIECE.
01:06:39 YEAH AND SO FROM THAT PERSPECTIVE THAT'S WHAT WE DID
01:06:42 FOR 4TH OF JULY WAS HAVE SOME OF THOSE ASSETS SPREAD OUT
01:06:44 ACROSS THE VIEWING AREA AND THEY DID RESPOND YEAH
01:06:47 IN THAT AREA AND THEN THE REAL TIME COORDINATION TAKES PLACE
01:06:54 AT THAT COMMAND POST AND SO WE ARE REALLY TIED AT THE HIP WITH
01:06:58 THE LEADERSHIP FROM THE POLICE DEPARTMENT THAT OPERATES THAT
01:07:01 COMMAND POST. AND SO THOSE CONVERSATIONS ARE
01:07:05 HAPPENING THERE AND ON THE DAY OF OUR OR OUR DAY TO DAY
01:07:10 STAFFING IS OUR OUR HIGHEST LEADERSHIP IS OUR DIVISION
01:07:13 CHIEFS AND THEY ARE COORDINATING THEIR HALF OF THE
01:07:15 CITY. >> SO OUR DIVISION TWO IS
01:07:18 COORDINATING THAT HALF OF THE CITY AND SO IF THE ASSIGNED
01:07:21 COMMAND POST DETERMINES THAT WE NEED TO START MOVING ASSETS OR
01:07:23 PRE-POSITION OPENING IN AREAS WHERE WE THINK WE HAVE A HIGHER
01:07:27 RISK, THEY WOULD WORK WITH THE OPERATIONAL TEAM AND START
01:07:30 MOVING SOME OF OUR IN-SERVICE UNITS AROUND TO BETTER SERVE
01:07:34 SOME OF THOSE AREAS. >> BUT I'M ALSO COMFORTED TO
01:07:38 LEARN THAT THE THE PLANS ARE MOVING OBVIOUSLY LESSONS ARE
01:07:42 LEARNED THAT PLANS ARE MOVING TO KEEP SOME OF THOSE CORRIDORS
01:07:43 MORE OPEN THAN THEY HAD BEEN ON THAT NIGHT AND THAT WILL OF
01:07:47 COURSE ASSIST US AS WELL. WHAT HAVE YOU BEEN INCLUDED
01:07:54 IN ANY OF THE CURRENT CONVERSATIONS AROUND CROWD SIZE
01:07:58 IS MY ASSUMPTION OF LEADING INTO THIS.
01:07:59 >> MY ASSUMPTION IS THAT CROWD SIZE ESTIMATES AND LOCATIONS
01:08:02 AFFECT WHERE YOU PRE-POSITION RESOURCES.
01:08:06 >> IS THAT A FAIR ASSUMPTION AT THAT IS HAVE YOU BEEN INCLUDED
01:08:09 IN THE CONVERSATIONS AROUND CROWD SIZE ESTIMATES?
01:08:11 I KNOW THEY'RE NOT FINALIZED AS WE'VE HEARD BUT HAVE YOU BEEN
01:08:13 INCLUDE IN ANY OF THOSE CONVERSATIONS SO FAR OR THE
01:08:16 ROYAL YOU WE ARE IN THE GENERAL PLANNING SESSIONS INCLUDE THAT
01:08:20 AS A PIECE OF THE DISCUSSION AND WE ARE ADVOCATING THAT THE
01:08:24 ESTIMATES BE INCREASED. >> GOT IT.
01:08:29 ARE THERE ANY OTHER THAT SOUNDS LIKE A LESSON LEARNED FROM THE
01:08:30 PAST YEAR? >> ARE THERE ANY OTHER LESSONS
01:08:33 LEARNED OR KEY THE KEY LEARNINGS FROM FROM THE PAST
01:08:37 YEAR THAT DID YOU OR YOUR COLLEAGUES IN THE FIRE
01:08:41 DEPARTMENT HAVE SEEN OR APPLYING TO THIS EVENT?
01:08:42 >> SURE. >> LIKE SOME OF THE EVENTS THAT
01:08:45 MAYBE HAVE A LOT OF ALCOHOL INVOLVED INCREASE THE EMS LEAN
01:08:48 AND SO WE'VE HAD ONE EARLIER THIS YEAR WHERE WE REQUESTED
01:08:52 THAT ADDITIONAL EMS RESOURCES GET ASSIGNED THAT ARE NOT
01:08:56 IMPACTING THE SYSTEM AND PROTECTING THE SYSTEM SO
01:09:00 THAT GRANDMA IN THE SUNSET GETS CARE EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE FLEET
01:09:04 WEEK THAT'S PART OF THE BALANCE THAT GOT IT.
01:09:07 >> SO YEAH SO ANY TIME THAT WE HAVE NOTICE THAT THERE'S BEEN
01:09:11 AN IMPACT WE HAVE PUSHED ON INCREASING THE STAFFING THROUGH
01:09:15 THE EMS MEDICAL PLAN AND FOR FLEET WEEK THE EMS MEDICAL PLAN
01:09:19 FOOTPRINT IS NOT AS LARGE AS THE VIEWING AREA AND THAT'S
01:09:23 WHERE WE DO OUR BEST TO AUGMENT RESOURCES.
01:09:27 >> GOT IT. AREAS THANK YOU.
01:09:30 >> AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION IN AN IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION
01:09:31 MAYBE IT'S MASK CONGESTION OR CERTAIN ROUTES ARE BLOCKED BY
01:09:35 TRAFFIC. WHAT ARE THE OPTIONS THAT YOU
01:09:38 THAT THE FIRE DEPARTMENT HAS AT ITS DISPOSAL TO LEVERAGE
01:09:41 OUTSIDE HELP WHETHER IT'S POLICE ESCORTS OR SOMETHING
01:09:42 LIKE THAT TO GET ACCESS TO A CERTAIN AREA?
01:09:46 >> YEAH, WE WOULD WORK WITH OUR THROUGH THAT COMMAND POST.
01:09:49 WE WOULD WORK WITH OUR PARTNERS, THE CEOS AND THE
01:09:50 TRAFFIC COMPANY AND SO THE TRAFFIC COMPANY HAS A HUGE
01:09:54 INVOLVEMENT IN HELPING US TO START AT THE COMMAND POST ARE
01:09:57 THE INDIVIDUALS FROM FIRE DEPARTMENT POLICE DEPARTMENT
01:10:01 THAT ARE PHYSICALLY CO-LOCATED ?
01:10:04 >> THAT'S CORRECT. OKAY, GREAT.
01:10:05 GREAT. THANK YOU.
01:10:05 I'M COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS? >> THANK YOU.
01:10:08 REALLY APPRECIATE YOU BEING HERE.
01:10:11 >> THANK YOU VERY MUCH. NOW I'D LIKE TO CALL UP THE
01:10:13 POLICE DEPARTMENT REPRESENTED BY COMMANDER CHRIS DOG, INDIA
01:10:15 COMMANDER, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
01:10:22 >> GOOD MORNING SUPERVISORS. THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME
01:10:26 AND ALLOWING US TO SHARE OUR PLANS FOR FLEET WEEK THIS YEAR
01:10:29 . MY NAME IS CRYSTAL GANDY.
01:10:30 I'M A COMMANDER WITH THE SAN FRANCISCO POLICE DEPARTMENT.
01:10:34 I OVERSEE CENTRAL, NORTHERN AND SOUTHERN DISTRICTS AS WELL
01:10:37 AS SPECIAL EVENTS. I WAS ALSO THE PREVIOUSLY THE
01:10:38 CAPTAIN IN CENTRAL STATION AND IN THE EVENT COMMANDER FOR
01:10:42 FLEET WEEK LAST YEAR. SO PRETTY MUCH I'M HERE FLEET
01:10:46 WEEK GUY FOR THE POLICE DEPARTMENT IN TERMS OF PLANNING
01:10:49 I WOULD SAY AS CHIEF BROWN SAID STARTS ABOUT SIX MONTHS BEFORE
01:10:53 THE EVENT BUT REALLY IT STARTS RIGHT AFTER LAST YEAR'S EVENT
01:10:57 WHERE THE POLICE DEPARTMENT DOES WHAT'S CALLED AN AFTER
01:11:01 ACTION REPORT. WE TAKE A LOOK AT WHAT WENT
01:11:04 RIGHT AND LESSONS LEARNED FROM THAT EVENT AND SEE IF WE NEED
01:11:08 TO ADJUST OUR STAFFING LEVELS OR OTHER OPERATIONAL NEEDS FOR
01:11:12 NOT ONLY THE POLICE DEPARTMENT BUT OTHER CITY AGENCIES
01:11:16 INVOLVED FOR THE FOLLOWING YEAR AND WE PUT THAT DOWN ON PAPER
01:11:18 SO THAT WE CAN REFER TO IT NEXT YEAR WHEN WE BEGIN OUR PLANNING
01:11:20 SESSIONS. LIKE I SAID, IT'S ABOUT SIX
01:11:24 MONTHS OUT WHERE WE START MEETING WITH OUR FEDERAL
01:11:25 PARTNERS, THE EVENT ORGANIZERS AND OTHER CITY AGENCIES FOR
01:11:31 FLEET WEEK FLEET WEEK SPECIFIC PLANNING.
01:11:34 BUT WE MEET ALMOST WEEKLY WITH OTHER CITY AGENCIES TALK ABOUT
01:11:38 UPCOMING EVENTS IN GENERAL AND THAT INCLUDES FLEET WEEK.
01:11:42 SO WE'RE KIND OF ALL ON THE SAME PAGE NOW IN TERMS OF WHAT
01:11:47 EACH CITY EACH CITY AGENCY NEEDS AND HOW TO PROCEED
01:11:50 TOWARDS A SAFE HAVEN. WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING FOR THINGS
01:11:54 WHERE WE MIGHT NEED TO ADJUST OUR STAFFING, SAY FOR LAST YEAR
01:11:59 THE BLUE ANGELS DIDN'T COME SO MAYBE THAT'S A DECREASE
01:12:02 IN STAFFING BECAUSE IT'S NOT AS POPULAR.
01:12:03 BUT THE BLUE ANGELS ARE BACK OBVIOUSLY AND WE'RE ALWAYS ON
01:12:07 THE LOOKOUT FOR SOMETHING THAT MIGHT INCREASE THE CROWD SIZE
01:12:10 AND INCREASE OUR STAFFING AS A AS A COMES WITH THE WITH THE
01:12:14 INCREASED CROWD SIZE CROWD SIZE SORRY.
01:12:17 SO WE'RE ALWAYS LOOKING AT THAT.
01:12:21 WE'RE ALWAYS IN CONSTANT COMMUNICATION WITH THE SCHEDULE
01:12:25 FOR FLEET WEEK AND MAKING SURE THAT WE HAVE ALL WE NEED TO TO
01:12:29 PLAN THIS EVENT. WHAT WE'RE DOING AS YOU CAN SEE
01:12:33 ON THE SLIDE THERE, WE MOSTLY HAVE FOOT PATROLS DEPLOYED
01:12:36 THROUGHOUT CENTRAL SOUTHERN NORTHERN DISTRICTS PROBABLY A
01:12:40 LITTLE LESS SOUTHERN NOW AS WE'RE HAVING LESS SHIPS COME
01:12:43 IN THIS YEAR WE HAVE OUR MARINE UNIT OUT THERE ENFORCING
01:12:47 IN STRICT AREAS WHERE BOATING CAN AND CANNOT HAPPEN AS WELL
01:12:51 AS FOR HOMELAND SECURITY PURPOSES.
01:12:55 WE ALSO HAVE DRONE MITIGATION WHERE WE WORK WITH OUR FEDERAL
01:12:58 PARTNERS FOR PEOPLE FLYING DRONES IN AROUND FLEET WEEK FOR
01:13:03 FOR EVERYONE'S SAFETY AS A POLICE DEPARTMENT WE'RE WE'RE
01:13:04 ALWAYS CONCERNED WITH PUBLIC SAFETY AND THAT'S OUR NUMBER
01:13:07 ONE PRIORITY. SO WE WE HAVE AN INCREDIBLE
01:13:11 AMOUNT OF STAFFING THAT ALWAYS COMES TO FLEET WEEK.
01:13:14 NO OFFICERS ARE ALLOWED TO HAVE THAT DAY OFF EVERY YEAR.
01:13:18 SO OUR OUR STAFFING MOSTLY COMES FROM FOLKS THAT ARE OFF
01:13:22 SO THAT WE REMAIN STAFF THAT OUR STATIONS SO THAT THE CITY
01:13:27 ITSELF IS SAFE WHILE WE HOST THIS EVENT.
01:13:30 AS CHIEF BROWN SAID, WE DO HAVE A COMMAND POST AS A JOINT
01:13:34 COMMAND POST SO WE HAVE POLICE FIRE, EMS TO OTHER FOLKS THERE.
01:13:38 SO THE COMMUNICATION IS REGULAR AND WE COULD PIVOT AS NEEDED
01:13:45 IN TERMS OF THINGS THAT ARE HAPPENING IN REAL TIME AND I
01:13:49 BELIEVE THAT IS IT. >> GREAT ANSWERING QUESTIONS.
01:13:54 YEAH, GREAT. I APPRECIATE IT.
01:13:56 >> THANK YOU. SO I'VE BEEN ASKING A LOT ABOUT
01:13:58 CROWDS SIZE. >> HAVE YOU ALL BEEN INCLUDED
01:14:01 IN CURRENT CONVERSATIONS ABOUT CROWD SIZE ESTIMATES?
01:14:05 >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. I'M THERE WITH CHIEF BROWN
01:14:10 IN MEETINGS WHERE WE SPEAK WITH THE ORGANIZERS AND YOU KNOW WE
01:14:13 ALWAYS PLAN FOR FOUR MORE BECAUSE IT'S EASIER TO PLAN FOR
01:14:15 MORE THAN TO CALL UP RESOURCES LAST MINUTE FOR A GREATER CROWD
01:14:20 SIZE. SO WE ALWAYS PLAN ON A BIGGER
01:14:21 CROWD SIZE AND WHAT'S ESTIMATED SO WE HAVE ENOUGH OFFICERS TO
01:14:26 HAVE A SAFE EVENT. >> GOT IT.
01:14:29 YOU KNOW, YOU TALKED ABOUT NOBODY HAS THE DAY OFF SO SO
01:14:33 THIS MIGHT ANSWER WHAT THAT MIGHT ASK THE QUESTION BUT HOW
01:14:37 IS YOUR PROJECTED STAFFING? HOW DOES THAT COMPARE TO
01:14:40 PREVIOUS YEARS 25, 24, 23? >> I MEAN LIKE I SAID, YOU
01:14:44 KNOW, WE USE OUR AFTER ACTION REPORT TO KIND OF GUIDE US IF
01:14:46 WE HAD A REALLY SAFE EVENT AND HOW MANY OFFICERS WE HAVE
01:14:49 DEPLOYED TO FLEET WEEK WE KIND OF GO WITH THOSE NUMBERS
01:14:51 AND OBVIOUSLY LIKE I SAID LAST YEAR WAS KIND OF A FLUKE WHERE
01:14:55 WE HAD THE GOVERNMENT SHUTDOWN. SO WE ACTUALLY DECREASE
01:14:56 STAFFING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT WASN'T NEEDED.
01:15:00 BUT YOU KNOW, WE'RE ALWAYS WE'RE ALWAYS ON THE LOOKOUT
01:15:01 IN TERMS OF WHAT WE BELIEVE HOW POPULAR EVENTS ARE GOING TO BE
01:15:07 AND HOSTING THIS EVENT FOR DECADES NOW, YOU KNOW, POLICE
01:15:08 DEPARTMENT IS REALLY TUNED IN IN TERMS OF WHAT TYPE OF
01:15:11 STAFFING WE NEED TO HAVE A SAFE EVENT.
01:15:14 DOES DOES THIS EVENT NECESSITATE MORE TRAFFIC
01:15:18 ENFORCEMENT THAN A REGULAR DAY WOULD?
01:15:22 >> YEAH, I MEAN WE HAVE OUR OUR TRAFFIC COMPANY WHICH IS OUR
01:15:26 MOTORCYCLE OFFICERS OUT THERE TRYING TO HELP FACILITATE
01:15:30 TRAFFIC MOVEMENT AND KEEP UP KEEP PEOPLE MOVING AS WELL AS
01:15:34 OUR AS THE LITTLE DIRT BIKES THAT YOU SEE OUT THERE.
01:15:38 THAT'S THEIR PRIMARY PURPOSE. THEY ALSO DO ESCORTS FOR SOME
01:15:39 OF THE MILITARY VEHICLES COMING IN AND OUT WHEN WE HAVE THE
01:15:43 SHIPS COME DOWN TO PIER 3032. BUT YOU KNOW, THEY TRY TO KEEP
01:15:48 TRAFFIC MOVING THAT WAY BY BY BEING VISIBLE AND YOU KNOW,
01:15:49 TRYING TO KEEP THE ROADS OPEN FOR EXAMPLE LIKE THE POKEMON
01:15:53 DRONE SHOW AT THE FERRY BUILDING PEOPLE START TO SPILL
01:15:56 IN THE STREETS A LITTLE BIT WITH OUR TRAFFIC COMPANY GO
01:15:57 AND PUSH PEOPLE BACK ON THE SIDEWALK AND KEEP THE TRAFFIC
01:16:00 MOVING SO WE DIDN'T ACTUALLY HAVE TO CLOSE DOWN THAT STREET
01:16:02 SO THAT'S SORT OF OUR PLAN TO TO JUST KEEP KEEP THE TRAFFIC
01:16:04 MOVING. >> WAS THERE ANYTHING LEARNED
01:16:06 FROM SOME OF THE TRAFFIC CONGESTION ELEMENTS ON JULY
01:16:11 4TH? AND BY THAT I SPECIFICALLY MEAN
01:16:12 LIKE HUMANS DRIVING AND BLOCKING THE BOX OR HUMANS
01:16:15 PULLING INTO A BUS LANE TO GET AROUND CONGESTION.
01:16:18 >> WERE THERE ANY LESSONS LEARNED FROM THOSE THAT MIGHT
01:16:20 AFFECT HOW THE TRAFFIC ENFORCEMENT DIVISION MIGHT
01:16:22 APPROACH FLEET WEEK BUT ALSO POTENTIALLY OTHER EVENTS GOING
01:16:26 FORWARD? >> YEAH, DEFINITELY.
01:16:27 AND I'LL JUST REITERATE YOU KNOW WE TRY AND KEEP THE
01:16:29 STREETS OPEN THAT WAY WITH THE TRAFFIC COPS AND ON THE
01:16:31 MOTORCYCLES BECAUSE THEY CAN GET AROUND A LITTLE BIT EASIER
01:16:34 WHEN THERE IS A GRIDLOCK SITUATION IN TERMS OF JULY 4TH,
01:16:37 I DON'T THINK THAT WAS FEASIBLE AND A LOT OF WAYS BECAUSE
01:16:38 THERE'S SO MANY CARS AND PACKED IN AND TO DO TRAFFIC
01:16:42 ENFORCEMENT AT THAT POINT WOULD HAVE NOT BEEN FEASIBLE BUT YOU
01:16:49 KNOW, WE WE WE PIVOT AND WE TRY AND MAKE THE BEST OF THE
01:16:52 SITUATION. FOR EXAMPLE, WE WERE TRYING TO
01:16:53 GET SOME OF THOSE BUSSES OUT BECAUSE WE FEEL THESE LIGHTS
01:16:56 AND SIRENS GET PEOPLE OUT OF THE WAY.
01:17:00 >> BUT ARE WE CONSIDERING BEING YOU KNOW, I'M REALLY THINKING
01:17:02 ABOUT DEDICATED BUSSES. I'M THINKING ABOUT THE 49
01:17:04 BUSINESS. I'M THINKING ABOUT, YOU KNOW,
01:17:07 LOMBARD STREET, ETC. MOST OF THE 49 FRANKLY.
01:17:10 >> ARE WE THINKING ABOUT BEING AGGRESSIVE AND TICKETING EARLY
01:17:12 FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO MIGHT BE POKING INTO THOSE BUS LANES?
01:17:15 >> YEAH, DEFINITELY. AND YOU KNOW, THEY'RE ALWAYS ON
01:17:18 THE LOOKOUT FOR THAT WHEN THEY'RE CRUISING AROUND LOOKING
01:17:21 FOR STREETS THAT ARE BLOCKED OR STREETS THAT MAY MAY NEED
01:17:26 ENFORCEMENT IN TERMS OF WHERE PEOPLE PARK SOMETIMES A LOT OF
01:17:29 PEOPLE COME ON JEFFERSON OR NORTH POINT OR OTHER PLACES
01:17:33 IN DOUBLE PARK AND WE WE KEEP THEM MOVING WITH WITH THE HELP
01:17:37 OF THE TRAFFIC COMPANY. >> GOT IT.
01:17:38 OKAY. THANK YOU.
01:17:39 AND THEN LET'S TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT REAL TIME
01:17:44 COORDINATION. YOU KNOW, TALK TO THE FIRE
01:17:45 DEPARTMENT ABOUT ACCESS FOR FOR THEIR EMERGENCY VEHICLES.
01:17:48 WHAT ARE THOSE COMMUNICATION CHANNELS AND PROCESSES LOOK
01:17:52 LIKE AND AND HOW IS THE POLICE DEPARTMENT LOOKING AT PREPARING
01:17:56 TO RESPOND IN AN EMERGENCY SITUATION WHERE AN AMBULANCE
01:17:57 MIGHT NEED ADDITIONAL ACCESS, ETC.?
01:18:00 >> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY. LIKE CHIEF BROWN SAID, YOU
01:18:03 KNOW, WE'RE KIND OF ALL IN THE SAME ROOM WHEN IT COMES TO THE
01:18:05 COMMAND POST OVER THERE. SO IN REAL TIME WE'RE TALKING
01:18:08 TO EACH OTHER AND GETTING INFORMATION FROM EACH OTHER
01:18:11 AND I THINK THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT ASPECT AND FOR THOSE
01:18:13 FOLKS THAT ARE NOT IN THAT ROOM WE SHARE OUR TEAM'S TOWN.
01:18:16 ALL RIGHT. SO WE'RE GETTING REAL TIME
01:18:17 UPDATES AND TEAMS IN TERMS OF WHAT'S GOING ON ON THE GROUND
01:18:22 AND IF WE NEED TO PIVOT RESOURCES OR RESPOND TO AN
01:18:23 UNFOLDING EVENT. >> GOT IT.
01:18:26 AND THEN MY LAST QUESTION FOR YOU.
01:18:30 YOU KNOW, RECENT EVENTS OUTSIDE PLANS JULY 4TH, FORMULA ONE,
01:18:33 WHAT HAVE YOU ANY KEY LEARNINGS THAT HAVE COME UP THAT HAVE
01:18:37 BEEN TOPICS OF DISCUSSION FOR YOU AND YOUR COLLEAGUES AT THE
01:18:41 DEPARTMENT? >> YEAH.
01:18:41 I MEAN, YOU KNOW, IT'S CONSTANTLY YOU KNOW, WE'RE
01:18:44 CONSTANTLY LEARNING FROM PREVIOUS EVENTS AND LEARNING
01:18:48 HOW TO BE BETTER ALWAYS. SO IT JUST ALL GOES INTO
01:18:53 PLANNING. >> SO WERE THERE ANY SPECIFIC
01:18:54 KEY LEARNINGS THAT HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED?
01:18:56 I MEAN JUST JUST WITH THOSE THINGS IN MIND, I THINK YOU
01:18:58 KNOW, IN TERMS OF EGRESS AND EMERGENCY VEHICLE ACCESS,
01:19:03 YOU KNOW, THAT'S REALLY IMPORTANT TO US.
01:19:06 SO WE'RE VERY CONCENTRATE ON KEEPING THOSE LANES OF TRAFFIC
01:19:07 OPEN LIKE LIKE YOU SAID IN TERMS OF WHEN YOU GET AN
01:19:11 AMBULANCE IN OR OTHER FOLKS OUT .
01:19:13 YOU KNOW, IT'S IT'S IMPORTANT TO KEEP THOSE IN MIND WHEN
01:19:17 WE'RE DEALING WITH INCREASED TRAFFIC INCREASE PEDESTRIAN
01:19:21 TRAFFIC. KEEPING THOSE LANES OPEN FOR
01:19:22 EMERGENCY VEHICLES. >> GOT IT.
01:19:25 BUT KNOW KIND OF KEY THINGS THAT HAVE POPPED UP HEY, LET'S
01:19:29 MAKE SURE THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN LIKE PEOPLE CLIMBING ON
01:19:31 ROOFS OR SOMETHING. >> RIGHT.
01:19:31 RIGHT. I MEAN I MEAN FLEET WEEK IS A
01:19:34 DIFFERENT ANIMAL AND YOU KNOW, WE'RE JUST ALWAYS SO PREPARED
01:19:38 FOR FLEET WEEK BECAUSE WE'VE DONE IT SO MANY TIMES.
01:19:41 BUT YOU KNOW, WE ALWAYS KEEP THOSE THINGS IN MIND IN TERMS
01:19:44 OF COULD THIS HAPPEN TO FLEET WEEK AND WHAT ARE WE GOING TO
01:19:45 DO TO PREPARE FOR THAT? SO YOU KNOW, I'M I'M IN CHARGE
01:19:48 OF ALL SPECIAL EVENTS. I'M IN ALL THESE EVENTS
01:19:52 MEETINGS. SO WE'RE ALWAYS KIND OF KEEPING
01:19:55 THOSE THINGS IN MIND IN TERMS OF WHAT WHAT COULD BE THE WORST
01:19:56 CASE SCENARIO RIGHT. AND WE TRY AND PREPARE FOR THAT
01:20:02 . >> GREAT.
01:20:02 THANK YOU. SUPERVISOR WONG HELLO.
01:20:05 >> HOW DOES A SFPD AND OUR PUBLIC SAFETY AGENCIES WORK
01:20:10 WITH THE MILITARY OR FEDERAL LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES TO BE
01:20:17 PREPARED FOR A TERRORIST THREAT?
01:20:18 >> DEFINITELY. YOU KNOW, OUR HOMELAND SECURITY
01:20:21 UNIT IS INVOLVED AS WELL ON THE PREPARATION AND LIKE I SAID,
01:20:25 YOU KNOW, I FEEL LIKE SUPER BOWL JUST ENDED WHEN I GOT MY
01:20:27 FIRST INVITE FOR THE FIRST FLEET WEEK MEETING FROM THE

01:22:54 YEAH, FORGET WHAT THE PRESENTATION.
01:23:10 >> GOOD MORNING, COMMITTEE MEMBERS.
01:23:14 I'M BEVERLY ENG FROM THE SENIOR CITIZENS RECREATION PARK
01:23:19 DEPARTMENT DIRECTOR OF POLICY AND PUBLIC AFFAIRS.
01:23:21 >> LOT OF MY SISTER AGENCY COLLEAGUES HAVE TALKED AT
01:23:25 LENGTH ABOUT THE EVENT THAT'S COMING UP IN OCTOBER.
01:23:26 >> BUT JUST A QUICK RECAP FOR FLEET WEEK IT IS THE SAN
01:23:29 FRANCISCO FLEET WEEK ASSOCIATION THAT HELPS PUT ON
01:23:33 THIS EVENT. IT'S BEEN GOING ON FOR A NUMBER
01:23:34 OF YEARS. THEY ARE THE COMMITTEE THAT WE
01:23:37 WORK WITH IN COLLABORATION. >> IT IS A TICKETED SEAT EVENT
01:23:41 WITH MERCHANDISE TABLING A BEER GARDEN AND MILITARY DISPLAYS.
01:23:45 >> SO UNDERSTANDING A LOT OF THE CHALLENGES AND BEST
01:23:48 PRACTICES LEARNED. WE ASKED THE COMMITTEE TO ALSO
01:23:52 INCREASE SOME OF THE THE RESTROOM OPPORTUNITIES AS THERE
01:23:57 ARE GOING TO BE ON SITE. >> SO WE INCREASED WE ASKED TO
01:23:58 INCREASE BY 20 PERCENT. >> SO NORMALLY IN YEARS PAST
01:24:01 THEY HAVE 55 TOTAL PORTA POTTIES NOT INCLUDING THE TEN
01:24:06 IN ADDITION THAT OUR REGULAR 80 A AND ALSO REGULAR PORTA
01:24:13 POTTIES THAT ARE SCATTERED BETWEEN LITTLE MARINA GREEN
01:24:14 AND WIENER TRIANGLE AND THAT ALSO DOES NOT INCLUDE THE 12
01:24:17 PERMANENT RESTROOMS THAT ARE ON SITE AS BACKUP IF SOMETHING
01:24:22 COMES UP. SO THIS YEAR THEY'RE INCREASING
01:24:25 TO 64 AT MARINA GREEN WITH 14 SCATTERED BETWEEN MARINA
01:24:29 TRIANGLE AND LITTLE MARINA. >> SO ON TOP OF THAT WE HAVE
01:24:33 PARK RANGERS THAT ARE GOING TO BE ON SITE.
01:24:36 FIVE RANGERS WILL BE ACTIVELY PATROLLING TO ENSURE THAT THAT
01:24:40 GOES SMOOTHLY AND WE ALSO HAVE STAFF WORKING IN COORDINATION
01:24:44 WITH AS A PARTY FOR TRAFFIC CONTROLS AND PUBLIC SAFETY
01:24:45 ISSUES. >> SO THOSE ARE OUR BIGGEST
01:24:49 KIND OF BEST LESSONS LEARNS AND CHANGES IN HAPPY TO ANSWER
01:24:53 ANY PARTICULAR QUESTIONS THE COMMUNITY MEMBER HAS.
01:25:02 >> COLLEAGUES ANY QUESTIONS? OKAY.
01:25:06 I'M GOING TO ASK MY LAST QUESTIONS OF YOU.
01:25:07 THIS IS ABOUT BATHROOMS. BATHROOM ACCESS IS VERY
01:25:11 IMPORTANT. WITHOUT IT WE CAN LEAD TO VERY
01:25:14 I CAN'T SAY THE WORD SITUATIONS .
01:25:16 THAT WAS A JOKE. SORRY.
01:25:20 >> DURING JULY 4TH YOU KNOW IN THE PREPARATION THERE HAVE
01:25:22 BEEN CONVERSATIONS ABOUT ADDING BATHROOM ACCESS AND THE
01:25:28 FEEDBACK THAT WE GOT THAT NOT ONLY WAS THERE NOT EXTRA
01:25:33 BATHROOM ACCESS BUT MAYBE EVEN SOME BATHROOMS WERE CLOSED DUE
01:25:37 TO STAFFING ISSUES OR SOMETHING AND SO I THINK WHAT I AM
01:25:41 CURIOUS ABOUT AND I'M AWARE THAT THERE IS A VENDOR
01:25:44 ORGANIZER WHO'S PROBABLY DOING THIS BUT I'M CURIOUS HOW WE ARE
01:25:48 THINKING ABOUT BATHROOMS FOR FLEET WEEK, HOW THIS DIFFERS
01:25:52 FROM YOUR SPACE OR IS THE SAME AND ANY LESSONS LEARNED AROUND
01:25:56 BATHROOMS. >> SO FLEET WEEK HAS BEEN A
01:26:00 LONG TIME EVENT SO THE EVENT PRODUCER THAT WE WORK WITH HAS
01:26:04 KIND OF HAD THAT SWEET SPOT OF KNOWING ENOUGH RESTROOMS THIS
01:26:08 YEAR WE ASKED THEM JUST TO DO A LITTLE BIT MORE JUST BECAUSE OF
01:26:12 THE EVENTS THAT HAD HAPPENED THIS SUMMER.
01:26:13 WE WANTED TO BE OVERPREPARED AND SO WE ASKED THE COMMITTEE
01:26:16 TO ADD ON THAT ADDITIONAL 20% BUT USUALLY AT ABOUT 55 STALLS
01:26:21 SORRY HANG ON ONE SIDE US PERMITTING TO ADD ON THAT WE'VE
01:26:24 ASKED THE PERMITTING SO THE PERMITTING OKAY BECAUSE I, I
01:26:28 UNDERSTAND THEY ARE THE ONES WHO PROVIDE THE YEAH I JUST I
01:26:32 YEAH I MISREAD YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR FLEET WEEK WE
01:26:35 ASKED THE COMMITTEE TO INCREASE THAT BY 20% JUST BECAUSE OF
01:26:38 WHAT WE'VE LEARNED AND UNDERSTOOD FOR THE SUMMER
01:26:41 INCIDENT. >> THE SUMMER WAS ALSO NOT A
01:26:46 PARTICULAR ONE PERMITTED AND I THINK THAT WAS PART OF WHAT WE
01:26:50 LEARNED. THE RESTROOMS THAT YOU'RE
01:26:51 TALKING ABOUT THAT WERE CLOSED THOSE ARE ALWAYS OUR BACKUP
01:26:55 RESTROOMS BECAUSE OF THE VOLUME OF PEOPLE THAT COME PORTA
01:26:58 POTTIES ARE THE BEST METHOD TO ENSURE THAT EVERYONE HAS ACCESS
01:27:02 . WE ALWAYS OPEN THOSE PERMIT
01:27:03 ONES UP IF SOMETHING HAPPENS AND THAT'S WHAT HAPPENED WHERE
01:27:05 OUR RANGERS SAW THERE WAS A LONG LINE AND QUICKLY OPENED UP
01:27:09 THOSE RESTROOMS BECAUSE THE PERMANENT RESTROOMS ARE A
01:27:11 LITTLE HARDER TO SERVICE WHILE A BIG CROWD OF PEOPLE IS GOING
01:27:14 ON AT THE SAME TIME WHICH IS WHY WE HAD THAT OPTION IT
01:27:17 OPENED UP AND HELP RELIEVE THE LINE IT DID IT.
01:27:20 THEY DID OPEN MORE BATHROOMS DURING THEY DID WE RECEIVED
01:27:24 REPORTS OF OTHERWISE BUT I THINK THAT'S MAYBE A QUESTION
01:27:29 FOR ANOTHER DAY WHEN THERE ISN'T A DEDICATED PERMIT.
01:27:36 HOW IS REC HOW WILL REC PARK BE THINKING ABOUT BATHROOMS ACCESS
01:27:44 FOR FUTURE EVENTS SO IT DEPENDS ON THE CROWD SIZE.
01:27:47 IT DEPENDS ON IF THERE'S AMPLIFIED SOUND ALCOHOL, ALL
01:27:51 THOSE OTHER THINGS AND PUT INTO A MIX OF WHAT WE ANTICIPATE THE
01:27:55 CROWD SIZES FOR FLEET WEEK BECAUSE THEY KIND OF KNOW
01:27:58 BALLPARK OF WHAT THE VOLUME AND CROWD SIZE THAT'S THE
01:28:00 REASON WHY THEY'VE LOST I DON'T KNOW HOW MANY YEARS NOW THEY'VE
01:28:03 BEEN DOING THIS. THEY'VE HAD THAT SWEET SPOT BUT
01:28:06 JUST BECAUSE OF EVERYTHING WE KNOW FOR THIS YEAR WE'VE ASKED
01:28:09 AN INCREASE BY 20% BUFFER INCLUDING THE BACK UP 12
01:28:14 PERMANENT RESTROOMS. >> SO IN TOTAL WE'LL PROBABLY
01:28:15 HAVE 91 AND THE BASELINE FOR PORTA POTTIES THAT LET'S CALL
01:28:21 IT THE 100% BASELINE YOU'VE GOT AN EXTRA 20% GRADE THAT 100%
01:28:24 BASELINE IS BASED ON CROWD SIZES FROM WHEN 2025, 2024 FOR
01:28:31 THIS COMING FLEET WEEK. YEAH.
01:28:32 SO IT SOUNDS LIKE THERE THERE'S A STANDARD NUMBER OF PORTA
01:28:36 POTTIES THE EVENT ORGANIZER HAS HAD FOR THE LAST HOWEVER MANY
01:28:39 YEARS. CORRECT.
01:28:40 AND IS THAT NUMBER CHANGED RECENTLY?
01:28:42 IT'S BEEN WE'VE ASKED THEM TO INCREASE BY 20% SO THIS YEAR
01:28:47 BUT IN YEARS PAST HAS IT BEEN THE SAME IN 25, 24, 23 I THINK
01:28:51 MORE OR LESS PRETTY CONSISTENT .
01:28:54 I'M HAPPY TO GO BACK TO STAFF TO GET MORE DETAILS BUT WE'VE
01:28:56 NEVER HAD TO OPEN UP THE BACK UP RESTROOMS IN YEARS
01:28:59 PLASTERING WE ALWAYS HAD SUFFICIENT AMOUNT.
01:29:02 >> I THINK WHAT I'M REALLY CURIOUS IS ABOUT THE THE MAX
01:29:05 CROWD SIZE SOUNDS LIKE IT WAS SIGNIFICANTLY LOWER LAST YEAR
01:29:09 THAN IN PREVIOUS YEARS AND I AM CONCERNED THAT THE 20% INCREASE
01:29:16 IN PORTA POTTIES IS BASED OFF A 2025 NUMBER THAT MIGHT BE
01:29:18 DIFFERENT FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. >> I'D LOVE TO HEAR THAT IT'S
01:29:22 ACTUALLY UP. WE HAD JUST AS MANY PORTA
01:29:23 POTTIES LAST YEAR JUST FEWER PEOPLE NO PROBLEM.
01:29:27 THAT'S THAT BE GREAT. I JUST LOVE TO MAYBE CONFIRM
01:29:30 THAT THE 2025 PORTA NUMBER WAS THE SAME AS THE 2020 FOR HAPPY
01:29:36 TO TALK ABOUT YOUR OFFICE WITH THAT THANK YOU SUPERVISOR WONG
01:29:42 I THINK THAT WAS LEFT ON FROM PREVIOUS COMMENTS I'LL TAKE
01:29:46 MYSELF OFF. >> EXCELLENT.
01:29:47 THANK YOU. >> OKAY THANK YOU.
01:29:53 WELL I'D LIKE TO THANK ALL THE CITY STAFF WHO WORKED HARD
01:29:57 TODAY. OBVIOUSLY THERE WERE THE
01:29:58 PRESENTERS BUT OLIVIA SCANLON AND JACKIE THORNHILL DID AN
01:30:05 ENORMOUS AMOUNT OF WORK AT DCM. THANK YOU BOTH.
01:30:08 ERIKA BROWN, AGAIN, THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE.
01:30:12 YOU KNOW, ADDITION TO COMMANDER DOUG INDIO, CARL NIKITA, THANK
01:30:16 YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP. JARRETT WELL ATTEMPTED THANK
01:30:23 YOU BOTH VERY MUCH FOR BEING HERE.
01:30:24 I REALLY APPRECIATE IT AND LORENZO ROSAS KIND OF GETS
01:30:28 A DOUBLE THANK YOU FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE AISLE HERE BOTH
01:30:33 FOR THANKING ME AND PREPPING THIS FOR MY OFFICE.
01:30:35 >> AND NOW AS A I DON'T THINK TRADERS THE APPROPRIATE WORD IS
01:30:39 THAT IS THAT RIGHT NOW BUT CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR NEW
01:30:43 POSITION AT REC PARK I THINK ALL OF US HERE ON THE BOARD ARE
01:30:46 EXCITED TO WORK WITH YOU IN THIS NEW ROLE AND THANK YOU
01:30:48 FOR BEING HERE TODAY. >> OKAY.
01:30:53 LOOK, I THINK THE THING THAT WE CONCENTRATED ON HERE WAS CROWD
01:30:57 SIZE. >> CROWD SIZE HAS BEEN THE FLAW
01:31:01 IN PLANNING OVER THE PAST YEAR AND WHEN CROWD SIZE IS MIXED
01:31:08 WITH A LACK OF TIME AROUND PREPARATION WE END UP WITH
01:31:15 NEGATIVE OUTCOMES. I'M ENCOURAGED AT THE
01:31:20 CONVERSATION AROUND CROWD SIZE. I'M ENCOURAGED AT THE FACT THAT
01:31:26 THE PARKS PERMIT HAS YOU KNOW, THE PERMITTING PROCESS OR
01:31:31 THEY'RE ASKING FOR MORE PORTA POTTIES.
01:31:32 I THINK THAT'S A GOOD INDICATOR OF WHERE WE'RE GOING AND WHERE
01:31:35 WE'RE THINKING ABOUT. >> I'M NOT ENTIRELY SATISFIED
01:31:39 WITH HOW THE THE CITY IS CURRENTLY DOING ITS ESTIMATES.
01:31:43 THERE'S A LOT RIDING ON THE ESTIMATE OF THE EVENT ORGANIZER
01:31:50 AND WHAT WE SAW FROM THE RED BULL PROCESS WAS THE EVENT
01:31:52 ORGANIZER WAS OFF BY JUST AN ENORMOUS NUMBER.
01:31:58 WHAT WE SAW FROM JULY 4TH WAS THAT THERE WASN'T AN EVENT
01:32:02 ORGANIZER AND WHAT WE'RE SEEING HERE IS AN EVENT ORGANIZER WHO
01:32:05 IS ACTUALLY QUITE EXPERIENCED. >> BUT ALSO I THINK IT'S NOT
01:32:13 FAIR FOR THAT ORGANIZER TO RELY ON THEIR EXPERIENCE WHEN WE AS
01:32:17 A CITY KNOW FROM OUR EXPERIENCE THAT THAT ORGANIZER IS NOT
01:32:21 INVOLVED IN THAT THE SITUATION MIGHT HAVE CHANGED AND SO I, I
01:32:25 KNOW THE MAYOR'S OFFICE ISN'T HERE.
01:32:26 I WOULD HAVE LIKED THEM TO BE HERE TO TALK A LITTLE BIT ABOUT
01:32:30 THEIR ROLE IN IN CAPACITY PLANNING.
01:32:33 >> I'LL BE DOING SOME FOLLOW UP ASKING ABOUT THAT.
01:32:37 BUT I THINK THE REALITY IS THAT SAN FRANCISCO IS DOING PRETTY
01:32:41 WELL. >> WE HAVE A LOT OF PROBLEMS.
01:32:42 WE'RE DOING PRETTY WELL BUT THAT MEANS WE'RE POPULAR AND WE
01:32:45 GOT TO PLAN FOR THAT BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY FUN THINGS
01:32:48 ARE NOT FUN WHEN PEOPLE GET HURT OR PEOPLE DIE OR WE HAVE
01:32:52 OTHER STRONG CHALLENGES. >> SO I WANT TO THANK ALL OF
01:32:56 YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> I AM A LITTLE UNSATISFIED
01:32:59 WITH THE CAPACITY PLANNING BUT I DO THINK THAT ALL OF YOU HERE
01:33:03 IN THE ROOM ARE PUTTING YOUR BEST FOOT FORWARD.
01:33:07 >> SO I APPRECIATE IT VERY MUCH .
01:33:11 AND WITH THAT, MADAM CLERK, WE CALL FOR PUBLIC COMMENT.
01:33:15 >> YES. MEMBERS OF THE PUBLIC WHO WISH
01:33:18 TO SPEAK ON THIS HEARING SHALL LINE UP NOW ALONG THE SIDE BY
01:33:20 THE WINDOWS. >> ALL SPEAKERS WILL HAVE TWO
01:33:22 MINUTES. WE PLAN FOR ONE MINUTE.
01:33:33 >> I DON'T KNOW WHY BUT I'M VERY HAPPY.
01:33:35 SUPERVISORS MY NAME IS LEWIS LUBIN, THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR
01:33:37 OF SAN FRANCISCO FLEET WEEK AND I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT FLEET
01:33:43 WEEK AND HAPPY TO TALK ABOUT THE EVENT.
01:33:44 >> THE FOCUS TODAY HAS BEEN ON OPERATIONS ON MARINA GREEN.
01:33:47 FLEET WEEK HAS A 45 YEAR TRACK RECORD WORKING WITH OUR CITY
01:33:51 AGENCIES TO ENSURE THE NATION'S GREATEST AIR SHOW CAUSES
01:33:54 MINIMAL DISRUPTION. WORKING WITH THE CITY FLEET
01:33:58 WEEK EXECUTES EVENTS THROUGHOUT SAN FRANCISCO COMING OFF OF THE
01:34:02 WATERFRONT TO ACTIVATE NEIGHBORHOOD COMMERCIAL
01:34:06 DISTRICTS WITH OVER 40 BAND CONCERTS A HIGH SCHOOL BAND
01:34:09 CHALLENGE AND GOLDEN GATE PARK WITH CASH PRIZES FOR MUSIC
01:34:13 PROGRAMS FOR HIGH SCHOOLERS AND A CANINE HEROES PROGRAM AT
01:34:16 TUBAS PARK. THIS IS JUST A SMALL SAMPLE OF
01:34:19 THE OVER 100 EVENTS THAT ACTUALLY TAKE PLACE DURING
01:34:23 FLEET WEEK SAN FRANCISCO'S FLEET WEEK IS THE NATION'S GOLD
01:34:26 STANDARD SETTING ITSELF APART IN 2010 BY PARTNERING WITH DTM
01:34:30 TO PIONEER TRAINING AND EDUCATION PROGRAMS AROUND
01:34:34 JOINT MILITARY CIVILIAN DISASTER RESPONSE MISSIONS.
01:34:38 THOSE PROGRAMS HAVE HAD ACTUAL WORLD WORLD IMPACTS SAVING
01:34:45 LIVES AND SAVING PROPERTIES. >> THIS YEAR THE FLEET WEEK
01:34:49 COMMUNITY FEELS A SPECIAL RESPONSIBILITY TO CELEBRATE OUR
01:34:52 VISITING MILITARY AS THEY NAVIGATE THROUGH CHALLENGING
01:34:56 WORLD EVENTS WHILE SEPARATED FROM THEIR FAMILIES.
01:34:57 THE IMPORTANCE OF THIS EVENT IS IS MOTIVATION ENOUGH TO WORK AS
01:35:03 IT HAS BEEN FOR OVER 45 YEARS AND CLOSE COOPERATION WITH OUR
01:35:07 CITY PARTNERS. AND I HAVE TO EMPHASIZE ISE THE
01:35:12 RELATIONSHIP THAT WE HAVE WITH OUR CITY PARTNERS IS IS BEYOND
01:35:16 EXCELLENCE. THE PEOPLE IN THE CITY HAVE
01:35:21 GREAT EXPERIENCE AND WORKING WITH US AND WE REALLY HAVE
01:35:24 BECOME TRUE PARTNERS IN EXECUTING ON THIS EVENT
01:35:28 AND I THANK EVERYBODY ALSO FOR COMING IN AND I THANK YOU
01:35:32 SUPERVISOR FOR BRINGING THIS ISSUE TO LIGHT AND WE HOPE TO
01:35:36 HAVE MORE SUCCESS IN THE FUTURE .
01:35:37 >> THANK YOU. >> THANK YOU FOR YOUR COMMENTS.
01:35:42 DO WE HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS FOR THIS HEARING?
01:35:55 THANK YOU CAN BEGIN. >> MY NAME IS DAVID FLYNN.
01:36:02 I'VE BEEN GOING TO FLEET WEEK FROM I DON'T KNOW TWO HOURS OUT
01:36:06 DAVIS, CALIFORNIA AND NOW OAKLAND FOR THE LAST HALF OF MY
01:36:13 LIFE I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT IT WAS DISAPPOINTING THAT THE
01:36:18 BLUE ANGELS DIDN'T SHOW UP LAST YEAR AND THAT I ENCOURAGE THE
01:36:21 EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR OF FLEET WEEK AND THE CITY TO CONTINUE
01:36:29 TO DEEPER GO INTO FURTHER DETAIL ON WHAT FLEET WEEK
01:36:34 ACTUALLY ENTAILS FOR THE PUBLIC .
01:36:37 I JUST WANTED TO SAY THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE MIGHT THINK IT'S JUST
01:36:42 PROPERTY AND FOR THE MILITARY BUT I THINK IT'S REALLY COOL
01:36:49 AND I ACTUALLY REALLY DO LIKE GOING ON BATTLESHIPS OR
01:36:53 DESTROYERS OR SUBMARINES OR AIRCRAFT CARRIERS OR MEETING
01:37:00 PEOPLE WHO'VE ACTUALLY SERVED IN WAR AS LIKE THE GULF WAR,
01:37:05 VIETNAM ALL THESE DIFFERENT THINGS BECAUSE IT'S SOMETHING
01:37:08 THAT ME AS A CIVILIAN I'M NOT TYPICALLY EXPOSED TO AND I
01:37:12 WOULDN'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT. SO I JUST WANT TO HIGHLIGHT THE
01:37:19 EDUCATIONAL CAPACITY THAT FLEET WEEK BRINGS TO THE PUBLIC.
01:37:26 >> THANK YOU. >> DO YOU HAVE ANY ADDITIONAL
01:37:30 SPEAKERS FOR THIS ITEM, MR. CHAIR THAT INCLUDES PUBLIC
01:37:34 COMMENT. THANK YOU.
01:37:37 SO NO ADDITIONAL SPEAKERS PUBLIC COMMENTS NOW CLOSED.
01:37:40 FLEET WEEK HAS BEEN A SUCCESS BECAUSE OF THE PLANNING
01:37:48 PROCESS. >> ALL THE DEPARTMENTS HERE
01:37:49 ESPECIALLY GM HAVE PLANNED EXERCISE EXECUTED YEAR IN AND
01:37:58 YEAR OUT AND COMPARING FLEET WEEK TO PREVIOUS EVENTS IS NOT
01:38:03 APPLES TO APPLES BUT THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE IS THAT THE
01:38:07 FLEET WEEK PREPARATION HAPPENS AGGRESSIVELY AND HAPPENS AHEAD
01:38:12 OF TIME AND HAPPENS WITH ALL THE AGENCIES COORDINATING
01:38:15 AND TO ME THE LEARNING HERE IS THAT THE CITY NEEDS TO TAKE
01:38:19 ACCOUNTABILITY FOR EVENTS IN GENERAL.
01:38:23 IT DOES NOT MAKE SENSE FOR US TO PUT ONE OF THE MOST
01:38:27 IMPORTANT PROCESSES CROWD SIZE ESTIMATES ON THE HEADS OF THE
01:38:31 EVENT ORGANIZER THEY NEED TO BE INVOLVED OBVIOUSLY BUT THAT IS
01:38:35 UP FOR THE CITY TO TAKE ACCOUNTABILITY FOR THAT BECAUSE
01:38:39 AT THE END OF THE DAY THE EVENT ORGANIZER IS NOT RESPONSIBLE
01:38:42 FOR PUBLIC SAFETY. THAT'S THE CITY'S
01:38:43 RESPONSIBILITY. >> AND SO MY HOPE GOING FORWARD
01:38:49 IS THAT ONE, WE CONTINUE TO IDENTIFY THEN ORGANIZERS LIKE
01:38:53 LOUIS AND HIS TEAM WHO ARE FABULOUS AND WE CONTINUE TO
01:38:57 INVEST IN THEM AS THEY INVEST IN THE CITY BUT ALSO THAT WE
01:39:01 LOOK AGGRESSIVELY AT PLANNING AND DO NOT WAIT UNTIL TEN DAYS
01:39:05 BEFORE OUR MASSIVE EVENT TO DECIDE WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.
01:39:12 THANK YOU ALL FOR BEING HERE TODAY.
01:39:16 WITH THAT I'D LIKE TO MOVE TO FILE THIS HEARING.
01:39:20 >> MADAM CLERK, CAN YOU PLEASE CALL THE ROLL?
